proof?
ye no way in hell
Send a log with measurements
Length and circumference
Measured from base of antenna
But always remember, when you measure it’s gonna be from underneath
You get like an extra 2cm that way
Measuring from the top is just demoralizing
Kira put a quick clip up saying sin got 15% nerf. Would that possibly put sub higher for m+ than sin?
Oh no
ah the culprit
Is that where the 15% number came from
the 25% nerf is insane
Yep lol
cant believe we got nerfed by 30%
Unlucky
The 50% nerf is insane! wait..what?
unbelievable they are nerfing us %60 feels just dumb
Realistically it was 5% from caustic that was an actual bug that they fixed, which is good, accurate game is better
Then it’s another 5%ish from singular focus being bugged or whatever
better close the discord.
Which is an actual 5%
And the other 5-6% is from momentum being bugged
But you take follow the blood instead
So that’s not really dps you lost
imma be honest
I heard assa is being removed today is that true chat
if blizzard wanted to do good assa nerfs
That’s just theoretically dps you could’ve lost had you talented into something that you didn’t talent into
which were prolly needed
they wouldnt have done it beter
precisely targeting pure aoe and funnel
is incredible work
no impact on st !
holy shmokerino
Yah but now deathstalker is just mid aoe, no niche, and also no st
ok calm down
Fatebound in raids is chill at least
Outlaw does the same st as assa in keys, less AOE and 0 prio
Just zone out, stab boss
What about that cuh
Who cares about outlaw? They don't even use 2 daggers. How about swapping sub for all keys while sin is bugged out the ass?
you also do the same rotation no matter whats in front of you. + you lost acro, so outlaw can rot
also idk how a 5% aoe nerf can be mid aoe when assa was like
People play outlaw?
Like we went from fatebound zdps in aoe and giga st, and deathstalker having shit st but you have funnel and giga aoe
To now Fatebound is still shit aoe, giga st, but deathstalker is shit st and no funnel and like, decent enough aoe
the absolute best spec in the game before
Yes, buff outlaw
These two things can both exist
ok but
no way assa is bad
after that
or
it was so good before
like it needed a nerf good
not just good good
And a big reason why it was really giga
It’s definitely not bad. I’m still doing like 7 overall. Funnel gone sucks and it’s noticeable
Wait is that why I lose in prio damage to arcane mages now?
and did 0 aoe in return
Also don’t let this distract you from the real enemy
The mages
to me funnel always should come as a cost
Arcane has more funnel and also more execute than assa
wizards
Yeah the funnel being gone is rough, but in reality it doesnt really matter until like 14s where funnel is really needed
is it time to reroll ?
Its always the mages
i hate wizards
i find it so strange that funnel is just free now
Bastard wizards
I'm gearing my arcane mage already. I did a 10 key today so u can say I'm getting kinda huge
i remember funneling into the goldems in HoA and still doing less damage than the warlock spamming RoF into them
Does anyone know if the play for high keys is to swap sub then while sin is buggy?
funnel used to cost aoe
warlocks and mages are the real enemy here
assa is the king of prio
Yes
Its funny to me how blizz didnt and still doesnt like the sub funnel from shuriken combo back then but now there are multiple funnel specs 
Good cuz I had too much vers gear sitting in my bags. I'm about to go ham on sub
oh yeah you right
no opportunity cost
i'd be fine with funnel costing aoe if the st also wasnt dookie
It matters when you are carrying every key
remember when in df when prolly the r1 argument agaisnt outlaw being good was that outlaw damage profile is too op cause it does st damage while aoing
it makes sense that you would have to choose between doing aoe or doing good funnel
Arcane is actually insane now. All u do is run your ST rotation in keys and top meters for overall and destroying the prio targets. They literally took our job and did it way better
they way they've implemented funnel nowadays is just a lot of "hit nearby targets and your target takes more damage"
if tank doesnt pull adds on a boss with bleed build our st damage is really bad right? or am i just awful at playing assa xd?
which is kinda weird
Well that’s the thing Zac, I’ve been bitching about this for years
Once a spec gets everything they want with no downside, blizzard has to either admit it’s too good, or make everything also have that. That was like the original mage problem in the god comp with Aug release. They were both tanky and mobile, st and aoe, their talents barely changed between raid and m+ cause they just got everything for free. Then ret rework same thing, assa rework with caustic, same thing, now everyone has everything and you just play the thing that does biggest number, which makes it REALLY hard to tune for blizzard.
If specs had their own niche, the tuning wouldn’t need to be so damn tight
im honestly not even sure i know of any spec htat doesnt funnel outside of outalw and sub
fury?
What even is funnel in wow? I found this: “a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening”. Pretty sure my rogue is not guiding any powder anywhere in my rotation…
Yeah but isnt it still arguably better on outlaw than on specs that recently got that kind of profile? Just the target cap being kinda holding it back
mabye fury doesnt
If specs had a niche you’d also see a lot more comps in m+ lowkey
wdym
Could be if you were sub
Like the “god comp” in a streets key would be different from a “god comp” in halls or whatever
ye i guess
boomkin?
Same 5 spec do all the thing the best
The St + flurry damage on a per target basis
sub and assa both use powder therefore funnel
Just run those 5
idk outlaw even loses st in aoe now
im one of the worse prio target in teh game
What powder, link to vendor pls…
hi all, quick question. ive never played assa before and trying to learn a little. every guide says i need to be maintaining garotte and rupture at all times but nowhere explains (for m+) if i need to be tab targetting to apply both these bleeds to targets or is that not neccessary and i just need it on the main target?
so idk waht you mean exactly
You want to spread ruptures for scent of blood and energy
Venomous wounds is like 80-90% of your energy in aoe
Damn this guy didnt hear about the 60% nerf to sin rogue. Someone needs to tell him
I have no clue what outlaw is playing rn, but isnt that only with fb or is there something else making you lose St?
but also cause of outlaw st being tuned so incredibly low with m+ build, going from fatebound raid to m+ build we lose about 25% st
StreamerChad123 said 85%
honetly im not going to main this just like learning new specs. give me a break 😄
killing spree is randiom targeting kekw
KS
The old ks did just work with bf right?
ye
well
in sl old ks was also random targeting but it cleaved at 100%
so didnt matter
in df it got changed to be only on your target but do nroaml bf damage
and now we are back to random targeting but thy forgot to adjust the cleave to be 100% again
so its just random targeting you lose the damage gg
I think the problem here lies more in the people youre playing with and not the bug
We very much have the damage to be top dps in every key
Source: 13 floodgate i did with my guildies
You can say it’s the people I do keys with. But the wow community as a whole is pretty bad at the game.

I agree 
is basically everyone playing bleed in m+?
or do we have hybrid enjoyers in the chat
Yes
Hybrid is not fun with bugs right now
i keep hearing about these bugs
Bleed better anyway
do they only concern 4 set?
Not at all. Check pins
Can we close our discord server aswel?
Its so joever
Should spam post the Forge logs
guess i dont have to fear nerfs anymore
could someone give me a quick TLDR of the bleed build rotation in pure st? I feel like something isnt right even though there isnt much to fuck up, but my damage is way below others
Cant wait for the Izen video about this 
Prio crimson tempest over envenom. Easy
Guess my coins hate me
Darkest night envenom is still higher
what is this
so only envenom with darkest night? i just dump my combo points into tempest?
Nothing to be really worried about, it's dps rankings for raid week2
You spread your bleeds, then st on caustic and mark target
yeah ok I had that, had me confused for second there. But I just feel like my damage is super low (sometimes barely 2 mill/2.2 mill) even though im maintaining bleeds and then using envenom
in single target or aoe?
st
welcome to assa
so unless tank pulls adds into boss we just settle with being a wet noodle in pure st in keys?
also since i play mostly with pugs, do I hold my vanish for possible chain pulls or is it still worth it to use them mid combat to reapply bleeds with carnage?
I reuse vanish for mid pull if it lasts long
Allows for more sustained dps throughout the pull
If a tank chain pulls with no vanish charge thats simply life
and in that case im guessing the best thing to do is FoK into rupture and tab target to get 5 up?
with a couple of garrottes here and there
Yeah
In that case the garrotes are slighlty less inportant
But ruptures are still required
yeah thats what I thought
I guess I need more practice, i cant seem to do more than 6.7/6.9m overall
Why do i feel caustic spatter doing less now ?
maybe I just suck 
it got fixed 
And it somehow bugged a bunch of other things with it
I need help from you guys
does this spread look normal?
i feel like im lacking
i do have 2- only
2p*
and my stats are not perfect
This was a 7 dawnbreaker
with 2 other blasters
I’m not that used to checking logs, moreso look detail but there’s nothing glaring I can see.
I’d say spatter should be higher but if it’s a 7
That makes sense
I do have a +9 key that i might attempt and see how it goes
Until you get to 12s you probably aren’t having a much higher overall consistently. Mobs need to live longer to do more damage
im being told i should use this build for lower keys
but to take another poison bomb build for higher
Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:
- If you have to ask, you should play bleed
- If you're not doing +20's or higher, you should play bleed
- Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
- No, Fatebound is not good, you play Deathstalker in every key.
Some general concepts as to why people play different things:
- 11.2/Season 3: Bleed has gotten stronger through some buffs and the single target damage you get from singular focus is ridiculously good with the tier set. During PTR testing many high end rogues were just playing bleed everywhere.
- Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
- Boss damage: The cleave build is mainly for boss damage (note: not prio, there is no significant difference in prio). Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and some bosses during season 2 were not possible on high keys otherwise. It remains to be seen what push keys in Season 3 will bring in that regard.
- Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal. Rookery is not in the rotation in Season 3, and there are a lot of AoE dungeons. Dawnbreaker might be a candidate, but unsure currently.
- Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead outside of low target cleave and higher target AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage. At the end of the day, the builds are extremely similar, but Bleed is looking to simply be the best.
But yea, caustic is better when things live longer is what I meant for the spatter comment
For me on like
10s/12s it’s usually
CT
Spatter
Sanguine blades
Rup / gar
Then everything else
im doing 14s now xd
Tbh as long as your keeping tempest up your already doing better than most rogues I see
was playing outlaw until 12s and decided to change thing sup
Btw, specific dps numbers are usually not smth to go by
You can’t really estimate what the standard dps is in a key as it has a ton of factors
Tank route, group comp, group buffs, deaths, timer, gear, the dungeon itself ect
Tbh if you time a key and aren’t super far apart in dps it’s prolly fine
Also to follow up on this I encountered this rogue last night while playing around with my new SV 4pc

bro has a netherprism and i still dont have mine (or the forge) 
i guess part of my damage also being low is having 2 passive stat trinkets, so I dont really have anything to leverage my DM windows
Also I’m p sure 4pc sv makes your dps super skewed
50% damage from 1 ability
Good ol wildfire bomb
i wish I could uncraft my outlaw weapon to craft a dagger instead 
was playing a lot of outlaw last season and for some reason I thought I would as well this season
turns out i stopped after getting 3k and now im back to assa
and I also have a crafted ring with focusing lens 
hiding sensitive information
a man of honor

could someone check out my log from our fractillus first kill? i felt like i did very poorly, and kinda dont think its just bad rng and gear
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/BFXJZfHvNtkV8GQ7?type=damage-done&fight=32
*because of the enrage i only get 1x 18 stack netherprism + vanish anyway, so i decided to shift that window into execute
you vanished with your kingsbane at 2m
dont do that
treat vanish as a 3m cd and only use it with deathmark
i dont get 3 vanish casts with deathmark because of enrage
its this or not using it
im fairly new to fatebound so you probably are xd
Since my guild is only on araz mythic
Two small things I noticed from a quick glance - (not got to mythic on that boss yet so fight specific things I'm not so sure on)
- don't open with ambush. No point for fate bound.
- in deathmark windows, have your shivs covering the full length of deathmark instead of saving it for the end of kingsbane
oh ok, thanks! didnt know, especially 2)
because we were struggling with enrage, the fight time was completely static
which is why over the course of progression, i thought this should be better that way
it killed the boss so it did work out
the shiv thing is probably the biggest thing
otherwise get better gamba luck
Yeah, seems alright other than that at a quick glance. No clue if the vanish thing is worth it or not given the fight length
best coin gamba only 19 gg
the fight length definitely trolled you a lot
missing out on two vanish deathmarks is sadge
or i guess missing one and moving one
the alternative (and what some other people did) would be just the usual 18 stack + vanish deathmark at ~3min, but thats not execute yet
so i thought whats the point (because fight short) and shifted netherprism by 1 cooldown set
you didnt end up overcapping prism so ye it probably was the best choice
maybe wouldve been better to save pot for that too instead of the little baby second one you got at the end
but that wouldve been hard to know for sure
idk how valuable lust and 2 potions overall are, vs 1 potion in stacked execute cds
just based on the fact that your execute dm was stronger than the one on pull despite both lust and pot i think it was probably worth
because your second pot buffed like 4 envenoms
but thats more hindsight than something to know then
on reclear i should definitely do it then, because shorter fight length will make the 2nd pot even worse
ye you prob wont even get a second pot going forward
@warm vortex did a 10 , a bit better now i feel like
but the boss fights are so low DPS
the impact of rng is just very hard to judge
over the course of progression it definitely felt like i was constantly doing bad damage, but thats also to be expected when we wipe before i use my cooldowns 30-40 seconds before enrage
thank you both for the help <3
Well then should probably doing 7.3 ish. I’m doing 6.9 in 10s so
You're welcome
no you're welcome
it dropped, but went to our hunter who somehow didnt have one yet 😔

Bel
I didn’t went over the log but did her second pot did more then her pot in lust?
Because of exe?
@haughty flicker
no the second pot buffed like 4 envenoms right at the end of the fight, thats why i was wondering if it was even worth
@uneven aspen the omega smallest thing would be to prism before/as you deathmark here (to boost the coin damage flipped by deathmark/kingsbane) (probably worth 0,0001% damage!!)
but im just a feelycrafter
i say shit confidently and let whispyr get annoyed later
coinmaxxing
Haha I’m just wondering if we only get 1 pot. If we use it with DM in execute or we use pot on lust
this is what happens, when you (me) dont know what exactly is doing the big damage ._. i dont know anything about fatebound dksjdas
How is your ST in M+? On bosses
ye to me it seems like if you only have one pot its worth using in execute with how much we spike, but ask whispyr about it later so he can call me a dumbass
i would just assume execute, especially if its an 18 stack netherprism window
Will do thanks
Not great but not terrible
and yeah specifically if you have a vanish/18 stack netherprism deathmark in execute
Yeah and lust you don’t have 18 stacks
not a pansy ass non vanish dm
bad
its pretty minor yeah but its the same logic in why we shiv before deathmark 😎
good to know, thanks!
probably my last assassination boss this tier, but i still want to at least try making the best out of it
on the bleed build do i wanna keep above 150 energy on single target?
no
yeah sub just seems way too good on salad bar and dimensius to not play
especially if you can get your hands on a forge
for dimensius sub probably (for sure) does more dam in the damage amp but I wonder what the case is for salad bar
its also my main spec anyway, but i just cannot play it on fractillus when we are struggling with the enrage
and fatebound has been fun so far, so i dont mind
I do wonder what to do with the vanish usage on fract skip the second usage and hold it for your 4;30 DM
well the damage amp maybe assa could be competitive with fb, but sub also just giga blasts the add platforms
which for non rwf guilds is probably going to be pretty important
well it depends
Fatebound is chill 'turn brain off, hit boss' times
cause in a few months the damage is gonna be absurd
No thoughts, just stab
well yeah in a few months anything could change
with infinite gear, stacking damage buff, another turbo boost
i mean more for people doing it right now
yeah now I agree for sure
in a few months the adds might just get exploded instantly
then you can play whatever and just hard pad amp
I have a feeling it will just be assa on everything as per usual by the time I am there 
idk its kind of funny how it tends to go
outside of obvious times when tuning is far off
sub starts out good because you can giga pump into stuff like add phases
then as adds die faster assa starts to gain value due to execute and atm just higher st
but then as execute window gets shorter and shorter sub starts to catch up again
in my head it will be even more so this tier cause assa single target is actually big
like fatebound is just good ST and not hyper reliant on execute phase either since coins dont care about that
ye fatebound being good st throws a wrench in that normal theme
can someone explain to me whether the antenna nerf gives -3% less critical chance or -3% less crit rating gained from the proc?
because you just do higher anyway
did blizz aknowledge the hero talent bugs and stuff? Just saw the vid about it
The latter
no blizzard hates us and wants us to suffer
also we got nerfed by 59%
Blizzard hates Bel specifically
so not a giant nerf at least
We're just collateral
hello, some mates are telling me assa spec took a submarine nerf of around 15%, I suppose it is shit right ?
also doesnt help that its not "just" assassination that is riddled with bugs

its ok ive been playing my hunter
i was really wondering where my dmg increase was with 4set until i saw the vid lol
i heard hunters are having fun with set bugs as well
Jokes on them I'm a one trick pony, I'm stuck here forever
Never switching because I can't 
same cuh
i'd love to learn sub but my brain cant comprehend all those buttons sadly
lets just pray this dev takes 5 minutes of his extremely busy day to take a look at rogues
so im stuck with assa
10% in m+ AoE
And a bunch of funnel in DS raid
im genuinely asking since my ST was garbage and i think im doing ok rotation, garbage compared to arcane mage or windwalker monk i had in a group now
it was a genuine answer
thank you for coming to my bullshit talk
i will never doubt that the devs have actually busy days, its just not enough people
@magic ravine assa is known to have shitty st though right? especially with bleed build
Comparing assa to ww 
funnel is bugged as shit, it is already the nerf no ?
thats the bug that nerfed it
Is it ? i do not know hence why im asking 😄
i dont think ive even seen a ww in keys yet this season
Guys, I heard assa rogue has too much bugs.
Is this only DS or also FB??
elusive creatures
both
FOR MORE INFO ON THE BUGS:
Both wear leather, both melee, both have an energy system. Basically the same
🙁
wws go bm for keys. Its free invite and pretty chill.
Right here
its the pin video 
Monks use chi 
Yellow bar, same thing
green combo points
green rogue is cool though
I dunno I've never played monk
this is a new one
Wont catch me dead playing ww
freshly made
Do the sims account for the bugs ?
Mistweaver, MAYBE. Brewmaster, probably. Windwalker? AHAHAno.
even tapping it feels bad
assa fixed ? 

if there's no new pin, no

@haughty flicker I went over 10 top logs of frac mythic, and they all vanish around 2:30 with a solo kingsbane to have vanish up for a big DM + netherprism in excute around 4:30
I got 4set on sunday, I thought I was going crazy during raid when playing it for the first time
makes sense
if you know you wont get to 6m (which you cant on that fight) might as well
i kinda forgor the fight timer when i first mentioned it
but yeah its definitely the right play
Most timers are around 5:00 - 5:15
yeah
Yea, Assa has some dog water ST in keys
What was the group comp?
This is probably a giga dumb question but imma ask it anways do yall just spam gar/rup on the same target in M+ trash to spread dots because of how the targetting works or do yall tab target
I use a focus macro to focus my marked target
on some target counts it can be a minor damage increase to tab target assuming you do it correctly
but im bad and wont do it correctly so i dont

I work with plater that colours when something is ruptured. so i mouseover macro my garrotes/ruptures to the none coloured ones.
And if you have a juicy pull of 10-13 mobs, will you dot up only 5 targets and start your rotation to spread CS or you would dot up roughtly 9-11 mobs? I feel sometimes for us to prep the pack and dot up everything takes AGEEEEEessssss.
many pulls in m+ have the tank pulling several packs where it takes a while for them all to group up, definitely start already garroting and rupturing them as they gather (with tricks up)
also whispers plater has a mod that lets you color the nameplate that is marked in for example bright white, so you find the mob again easily if you switch off
ohhh i see'
i struggle with that at times
what i dont like in here is that either our marked target is not the ones that pulled in first, which means you either need to vanish once, or change marks which is super annoying ... i wish a better hero talent design here tbh
if you want to do that, play around with your nameplates, make your debuffs visible but only garrote/rupture/ds mark
i know the pain esp with pugs so i just wait for the tank to gather everything
you have 6 seconds of subterfuge, and you dont have to exit stealth right away
ideally you dont event want to ambush out of stealth
you can do garrote garrote rupture ambush and youll get both spatter and mark on the target
otherwise you're wasting globals in your carnage window
idk i actually asked about that yesterday here and tbh I got conflicting answers on if you wanna ambush even if you have DN up or not
even this class trolls us rn smh
can argue for and against it
i usually apply mark over DN
imma double his ass sir
shiv him irl
its so funny how the bug thing blew up
tuff times
cant believe we lose 69% damage from bugs
ask him if he enjoys his 3 buttons rotation
"im swapping to sub because assa is too buggy" gets me everytime man
IF you end up with more overall than him, please tell him "not even the bugs give you a chance to beat me"
yeah 69% is kinda crazy tbh thats a lot

its so good
swapping to the notoriously bug free spec subtlety rogue
i had a dude who kicked me from his key because i refused to reroll sub due to assa being 'unplayable'
guess i gotta spec sub to apply for keys now 🙂
didnt know its unplayable, what i do now
mass uninstall
i swapped from outlaw for this season
just to beat his ass imma reswap on assa at dawn kekw
Tell him you know a good Mage if he needs some rotation help
i wish sub wasnt as convoluted to play
Its a meme, assa is still really good
bring back BFA sub
F, cant believe assa is finished 
Hell no
anyone have a source about that nerf ? currently i don't find any
Which nerf? Antenna?
rumor about the submarine nerf of 15% or is it all bout the funnel bug ?
and the fact that everybody is now spitting on assa rogue
Its just the bug, it ain't 15℅, we're fine
windwalker and arcane mage
Well, they fixed CS double dipping, which was a straight nerf, but then ofc it completely broke with singular which is a bug, but we pump much less.... The interesting part however for me, that a few days ago i was critting 13-14 mills with my shived final mark envenom, but today i couldnt crit more then 8 mill.... so i defientely think there is more in the backyard ...
I know rogue is one of the most bugged class since debut of the game in 2005, but the current state seems the worst it ever was
The chinese rogues are still breaking dps records every day in keys so I doubt it's as bad as people say
We're fine, we do good damage, we perform fine. People need to chill out
Yes assa is still a good spec on keys, we rely more on bleed management than funnel of caustic imo
Well outlaw is just in shambles
Thats cause of the high conversion rates
Its just too much for me
Do you press shiv on cd ?
And do you use macro on tea (shiv+tea) or manage it manually ?
newest warcraft log shows us near the bottom now
time to shut down the discord
rets are near the top now, it apparently works
Hey it was like the first time i used it
(besides the proc rate on that pull was ridic, youll see i have way above average uptime even with all those missed orbs)
It has little to do with the bugs and more to do with other classes getting their tier sets
Assa was never good in raid on the PTR
did someone posted the weekly dps ranks this week already ?
do we run follolw the blood over momentum in M+ with the bug
You would do that anyway
Follow the blood is better
@warm flint any news?
geez -16 ranks is something... hooly
Its mostly just people swapping to play sub
hey assassins, new here, and new to WoW in general, just started about 4 days ago. just read back a couple of blocks and i have some questions:
-
what does it mean with the bugs? i generally still want to play assassination rogue, is this still fine?
-
are the only enemy debuffs i need to track: rupture, garrote, and ds mark? so that i can turn off all other debuff indicators, i currently have rupture and garrote icon appear in plater for mobs affected by them, now thinking to add ds mark, also, what is the focus macro and what might it do for me?
Like in a previous tier when assa got buffed by 5% sub went down like 10 spots too
- ye we're fine.
Despite not receiving any changes
People overstate the bugs and act like we're Aug tier. Shits still alright I dunno
Spec works, kind of has some bugs but its still fun
so basically we're not at full power yet? haha
yea makes sense, but i still think assa single and cleave is pretty weak right now for raids, its the greatest aoe for m+ very ez to play but in raids some bosses aren't just made for it.
just because we are fine, doesnt mean we cant extort blizzard the way ret paladins did
look what it did for their numbers
It did nothing for their numbers
Like, I'd you think blizzard went, 'a third party community shutdown, let's immediately convene and arrange a buff to be rolled out the next day' then I dunno what to tell you
blizzard literally did the same thing they've been doing every tier recently
if you think im being totally serious, then i dunno what to tell you
nerfed whoever did well week 1 and buffed whoever did lowest
I've seen some takes man
the problem is we're dealing with ret paladins who actually believe what you just said

The ret pala in my guild does
Same guy also went on about the hybrid tax in 2025
He's a lost cause
Let’s all send blizzard screenshots of whispyrs crash out due to the sin bugs, to see if we get them fixed the next day
done
guys shut down the discord till we get a buff
mass uninstall
They could just fix all of the bugs they introduced in the last couple weeks and call it a buff...
Its only the caustic one thats new
So you're saying we're still finding shit from the beginning of the expansion?
or we knew all of this... oh dear..
midnight presales goes boom - no need for bugfixes 🙁
Theyve been known
There is a bug with master assasin they need to fix that
there is also a bug where i'm not topping the meters 100% of the time in everything even healing
Its not new ones, whispyr just crashed out a bit with the caustic one.
Which tbf is a silly one
ok so question, deathstalker is only viable on this raid in the DH fights correct? all other bosses FB hero talent is better, right ?
Is assa just single target spreading dots in aoe?
I thought there were a couple more linked to the tier set, like momentum of despair + shiv bug
Well ye but those have been known and reported since the start of ptr
DH, Araz and Soulbinder
Though on hc reclear we just melted the adds so there may be a FB play there somewhere maybe
I dunno
I just went DS and went ham at the 2 minute CD set
i played FB on araz reclear and ended up doing a lot better, fuck that fight
FB with caustic
Is it still worth spreading bleeds as fb with caustic? Or should you just tunnel into the boss with caustic
Rupture sniping is still a gain I'd imagine
yea the adds die so fast that i think FB should be better on Araz
!macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
Use this to cast cold blood with Kingsbane, which is optimal for Fatebound. The order does not matter, as Cold Blood is only consumed on Envenoms.
#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane
Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
and you dont have to pull your hair out managing the mark
managing the mark there is autistic af, i cant do that to myself
yessss, that was me yesterday fuck that
if only the mark worked like the combo points 🙂 or just every envenom switches the mark always 🙂
The mark on araz ain't that bad, try and have a DN for the first pillar, save vanish to reapply when the boss is back up
LETS FUCKING GO EAT SHIT HUNTER
Next tier we're good damage wise week 1 we all just have to collectively shit the bed so we look like we're doing bad; therefore blizzard buffs us week 2
is assa missing like 10% overall with bugs rn?
kek which tier set is the best damage wise, since we probably get fated raids and vote for which one
No? :c
They done with fated. Thank god. Stupid season
Theyve explicitly said no fated
It was not fated to be
There was a bugfix that was intended to be a ~4% nerf but it broke something else so it was more like a 10% nerf
wow so we gonna get a whole lot of nothing till the expantion comes out
we still have remix but still
just a normal season with .5 and .7 patch
That is how patches work, yes
alrigh thank u
Unfortunately remix is currently tuned like its classic. No super speeding
Theres a lot of other bugs too, but thats the case for most classes, especially rogue
man we got 3 classic wows and 2 retail wow its crazy time we live in
Just wait 3 years for classic season of rediscovery
lmaooo
i`d bet on classic+ end of 26 with all they learned from sod
we already have classic + at home
How do we use vanish, I struggle a lot on it ?
what scenario
Does anyone know if cloak makes you immune to the knockback on the first boss?

If ...
Cant wait for the whispyr ramt about them nerfing trinkets. But not fixing rogue
Rogue is prolly also gonna receive a nerf in the rwf nerfs comming
Does anyone can help me with logs review ?
I can cy
I think its just the bugs from the Rogue but I could me doing wrong too
Its from Mythic Souldbinder
Why my CS isn`t hitting like that
Dry shiv + arterial on that fight goes HAM
What about wet shiv
Ill wet fart on you
So I just try to shiv on boss when the adds are on him ?
Yes. With darkest night and lingering darkness preff
for free ??
Yes
goddamn
is shiv + tea after deathmark worth?

usually you use shiv with deathmark and the 2nd shiv at 8 seconds since it lines up with the last 8 seconds of deathmark
or i save the tea for 50% plus energy?

is there a link to the bugfix?
are they addressing any bugs today? or are we just gonna have to dealwith them till midnight like we did with tww
Quick question for M+ Bleed spec on ST:
When do i use CT?
I open with Ambush, Garrote, Multilate to 5+, Rupture, then again Mutilate to 5+, Envenom, then Shiv + DM.
Do i use CT as 3th finisher-move, or later or maybe earlier before i use shiv DM? Pls help me to understand this.
how about 2pc set its increased the shiv duration? i replace the existing shiv?
With current, growing, list of bugs, is soulbinder still worth going deathstalker or just slam fatebound and enjoy life?
Do we have a energy regen bug in DM or am i trippin?
Wdym
sub
No, you shiv when the previous shiv ends
Yesterday in mythic fractilus i was on 0 energy in almost all of my full cds
They fixed one buy and another one spawned, thats +1 and -1, not really growing 
You would use it instead of envenom in that sequence
At the same time they added the one where if I hit need, I dont win the roll. So +2 
where did you find info about the bugfixes and -% it gives?
Like i would assume if i press dm my energy would skyrocket but i had moments when i literally had to wait for energy to cast abilities in DM
https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24223774/hotfixes-august-20-2025
Fixed an issue that allowed Caustic Spatter to directly benefit from effects that provide damage bonus to all Rogue damage abilities.
Thats the bugfix, but it also broke caustic spatter working with singular focus
As for what percentages those are worth, you can math it out or head over to the pins/whispyrs video
with the new shiv timing do i prio kb or dm for max shiv uptime
im asuming dm but im scared
For FB? Deathmark
ty bby
shame we miss out on the end of kb
i kind of try timing it for when the kb ends cos it gets the last couple ticks of both
for low m+, is caustic splatter still better than internal bleeding for the bleed build?
lowkey, why don't we just make spatter 50%
Yes, and its not even remotely close
If theres ever more than 1 target you play caustic
thanks, thats what i thought but i was hopeful to be able to "hehe funny extra bleed" 🙁
caustic spatter is literally your most important aoe tool; you do no aoe without it lol
Inside deathmark it will not matter, KB should be fully stacked by then anyhow
thats like not having multishot on BM hnter
oh my god I can already see it, a world where instead of fixing caustic + singular focus they give us internal bleeding buffs
Jokes on you, they play that shit
idk in every key ive done so far my top 2 are sudden demise and crimson tempest
yeah didnt BM drop multishot for aoe this patch 
is it worth playing sub temp for dmg in m+ until bugs are fixed? Dont know much about them but heard zerooss swapped temp to sub cuz of it
That means you are doing it wrong and losing potential damage
Assa still does really high damage in keys
can we burn "hero talents" down allready
cus its 100% some hero talent shit, right?
idk in my floodgate i was 55% of the damage. am i just not mutilating enough?
Probably but if you’re 55% of all damage you might be in a sale
looking at it on wowhead atm, its the same hero talent build
if sudden demise is your #1 or #2 dmg, something is wrong lol
Good cuz Im competing with 690 gear people, I thought details was bugged
my highest key is also only like a 4 so that might be playing a role in it being skewed to SD being high
i mean yeha
SD against low hp targets goes crazy
cus it executes them at 35% hp lol
caustic is a solid 10.4% of my damage in aoe pulls though
I wonder if the tier set from the previous season is giving me a huge dmg boost because of it
well, there is often just the thing
if you do dungeons with ilvl 690 rn, you are kinda undergeared
and most people that play in that range rn are KIIIINDA not great at the game
imagine if we closed the discord bro
Tbh im undergeared but cleared all 10 in a week
soooooo what I understand if I replace my previous season geat (gambler tier set) with new season generic gear, I wont lose dps?
people got to the middle of the raid kekw
you replace your old tier stuff asap you have 2p from new tier avaible
cus its a really strong tier effect
like, really dumb strong
In a long lasting trash pull is it worth trying to rebleed everything if you have no vanish...or just get a few ruptures reapplied and maintain caustic spatter and crimson tempest?
get some rupture up so you can get energy back and back to pumping caustic
I have veteran tier set shoulders so imma take your word for it 
royal answered it, for me I like to keep and reapply ruptures on mobs i expect to last to the end of the pull and live for like 10+ seconds, if i can proc spatter as rupture is dropping i'll just try to end the pack with spatter
from what you said the latter answer is what I like to go for
ok im doing crazy dmg in a +10 delve with 680 ilvl gear and im destroying it
no wonder blizzard is doing a stat squish next expansion
that shouldn't change the difficulty
squish is just because the numbers are cringe
they just want the numbers to be lower, expect us to do like 10k dps next expac
what the fuck does 30 million in one global even mean
and mobs not having 20 bil hp

it means you do 30million dmg in one global
its CRINGE
ITS NOSTALGIA
nostalgia for what
You wouldnt get it
legion?
legion was smaller
idk
bro this exile emoji is too good
gonna be real
i never look at the nmbers themself
lol
if people ask me how much dps i do as a number, i could not tell you for like 8years now 
yellow bar is high on details, parse number is purple, im happy most of the time
its op

why do u think my server nickname is
i
irl every time i open this fucking channel
get that shit spec out of this sacred place
guys.. is it worth making a second char for sub rogue is switching from assa to sub and back easy enough?
Someone help this paladin signup for thr manaforge omega raid
why the hell would you do that
no
Does anyone know how to see properly on logs when a boss hits 35%?
just sim gear for both specs and keep 2 gearsets in ur bags
people overestimate secondarys soooooooooooooooo much
when its barely a difference
yeah for example. sub is more fun without the dot management and the constant headegg of all the chainpulls in m+. and on top of it sub performs ultra well right now
then spec frking sub?
yes but have you ever hit the N key on your keyboard
you can just switch to sub
and why do you complain about dot managment on a DOT SPEC
by clicking the switch to sub button
Sub is pretty cool
and assa loves chainpulls btw
dont need a new character for it


yes but i need extra ring with different enchantments.. in best case different stats on my crafted gear. different sockets.
mate
😭 holy fuck
Dude just did the ultimate ragebait xD
are you serious rn
do you think that having haste/crit instead of mastery/vers on a item makes another spec unplayable

again, you literally dont
assa loves chainpuls? i dont love them in every scenario,. you like building combopoints to dot every target one by one?
sure man make a different character and play twice as much slop dogshit content to get different gems for <1% dps
🪤

ok good to know
Change to enemies, select boss name, then under resources tab make sure its set to hit points
why the hell you so toxic ffs. i was asking a normal question
highkey yea
you have mental issues
i apologize


the normal answer to your normal question is no. stats dont matter. dont make a second character for your stats
lol
Anyone knows the assa bugs ? And how much dps lost ? Please
thx . thats what i wanted to know if its worth
check
the
pins
I copied Caustic Spatter script from Ceverion's profile to my own profile. However, the coloring doesn't work. Any idea how to fix it?

Kinda wish Whispyr didn’t make that bug video because we’re gonna see that question every 10 minutes now. But maybe it will spread awareness enough that blizzard fixes some of them too

wheres our bug fixes wtf
wowhead article or no bug fixes cuh
Apparently
It needs to be adressed though
But ye, probably youre right
what server is it from
bro this bug is literally fuking sin rn it needs to be addressed for sure
are we shutting down the discord server until it's fixed??? 😄
the bugs are bad and yet we're pumping
"pulling a ret" is what it's called, and also dumb
we have quake, we are always pumping
Besided all the bugs.
On huge pulls on m+ 10 15tgts, how many rupture/garrote do we want to be up? minimal 5, but how many its worth to apply?
👀
have whispyr lock the discord 
Big
he should, then maybe people will stop asking stuff like "why do i vanish as fatebound"
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
!pooling
- Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
- Only one pooling condition exists (pool around 4 seconds before non-deathmark kingsbanes until 150ish energy). This is worth 0.3%
- Other optimizations are simply not impactful enough to show a benefit in sims, but pooling before quick-dying add spawns could in theory be a practical gain to pad.

during carnage, garrote over fok until all targets have it and rupture until all (significant) targets have it
Depends on many factors, how many small adds are in that will die to fast, do you have vanish ready to do 2 cycles and so on
general rule (all of this is in the guide on wowhead) is if a mob wont live 10+ seconds dont rupture it
and just let it die to spatter/ct
Ok, tysm.
why do I give backrubs?
(as deathstalker)
Rogues to bliz right now
Made a 28m crit on my env week 1. Bc dry shiv.
In regards to that pooling question/answer a second ago, is there a way to remove the low energy consumption of tea? I haven’t been worried about energy and just kinda pooling a bit before cd’s like I’ve seen mentioned but that means I pretty much never have tea except for my opener because it’s always chugged as soon as it comes off cd
NA up
Just don't mutilate when you are low
also tea procs dont matter
you dont have to think about them
in fact, you should not think about them
macro to shiv and forget
Oooh what'd u get
No theres no way to turn it off but theres also no need to actively think about it and try to stay above the proccing range
Just play the game
a long ass load screen
double vaults
Perfect ok
I would never cause I don't alt
also vaults dont open until 11 anyway
but I see the logic
!dryshiv
What you wanna know bro
Purpose, but i guess i can read that on wowhead
you can. but basically. you will get a very big envenom if you do
i hate that
because lingering gives you 30% extra nature damage.
Friends is it worth keeping above 50% consistently during single target boss fights in M+ or are we just full sending it besides pooling for death mark and shiv windows
No
Just send
@spice surge any info about dealing with wanting to shiv when dn is up? do we play for 4pc by sending dn without shiv then shivving or just shiv the dn?
obviously we should play to avoid this situation, I just want to know what the play is if we do find ourselves there
hey guys, after the astral antenna nerf is still the best passive trinket for sin or it has changed?
We dont pool anymore
Best bet is to just sim yourself
Its good, BIS even, if you dont miss it
Trinket is still very good.
do we hold kingsbane for deathmark with 4 piece
Your gonna hold kingsbane for 45 seconds?
the cdr is wacko
Oh you mean when the bug appeared
Its bugged
it def feels way shorter tho
You send kingsbane as soon as its off
I just send kingsbane.
If bugged wait for cb
So that you have 1:15 min DM
kk i just be sending kingsbane
Spatter still not working with Singular focus 🙂
Nah dont even wait for it
you'd think they'd do some nice undocumented changes
We know, its bad for hybrid and cleave
To be fair, they didnt even acknowledge the fact its bugged
Gonna be a while before they give us some attention
!loot
What's your take? How likely is it that Blizzard will fix this buggy mess?
adding 10 new talents
50-50
50% they will give us 5% buff
50% they will not
A few weeks
Every class has bugs.
its just a pile of shit
and we are most down shit
perma slow mode until blue post on rogue bugs
not drastic enough
whats the criteria for the !loot sheet? only one ring recomended? no anubikaj? no momma medallion? no hoa belt?
turn off reactions too
whats up with it

Have you seen the twitter post where you can see warcraftlogs percentile
everyone is throwing an tantrum
broodsack good? idk
Ye sac good
sin rogues or everyone?
good compared with what? a chicken nugget?
why we not running momentum of despair?
What
nah, share
bugged
bugged
It’s just a fine trinket

I mean follow the blood is just better too in keys
Any of the trinkets changes/buffs, make a difference on trinket priority really?
jinxed, buy me a coke
Changes nothing
I think there's situations where momentum would be stronger
stuff like big momma for example
ironically follow the blood is a ton better on the demolition duo in the same key
Ye so u wouldnt change
we still pick ilvl over stats?
ye
we take those gang
whatcha feeling?
Not really
potential sacbrood action here
sac > prism ?
the issue I've found with momentum is that we activate it really late with bleed opener on aoe, on stuff like big momma with sustained 3+ should be a win for momentum since we spam fok
No sustained follow the blood crushes
hardly
I woulda thought the crit chance and dmg on ct can compete tbh
its like 8% more ct damage VS 30% ct damage
(without shiv up)
And follow the blood also works with demise, momentum doesnt
forgive me if i'm hallucinating but im fairly sure momentum is more than 8% ct dmg
Its 32% crit damage
and 15% crit chance
So it goes from 200% damage to 232% damage
When it crits
idk what to pick
To get mythic track gear from vault dungeons what m+ floor do i have to clear?
Which is roughly 16% damage, but you only have like 50% crit so its roughly 8%, and then the crit
highest simming item
15% crit chance alone should be more than 8% ct dmg
