ok but my astral antenna is bigger than urs

balmy condor
midnight mist
balmy condor
#

Send a log with measurements

#

Length and circumference

#

Measured from base of antenna

haughty flicker
#

i showed you my antenna pls respond

balmy condor
#

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

ebon prism
#

Kira put a quick clip up saying sin got 15% nerf. Would that possibly put sub higher for m+ than sin?

balmy condor
#

Oh no

buoyant herald
#

ah the culprit

haughty flicker
#

i cant believe assa got a 20% nerf

#

its over

balmy condor
#

Is that where the 15% number came from

ashen totem
#

the 25% nerf is insane

ebon prism
#

Yep lol

ashen totem
#

cant believe we got nerfed by 30%

balmy condor
#

Unlucky

hot hill
#

The 50% nerf is insane! wait..what?

warm flint
#

unbelievable they are nerfing us %60 feels just dumb

balmy condor
#

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

hot hill
balmy condor
#

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

midnight mist
#

imma be honest

quaint spindle
#

I heard assa is being removed today is that true chat

midnight mist
#

if blizzard wanted to do good assa nerfs

balmy condor
#

That’s just theoretically dps you could’ve lost had you talented into something that you didn’t talent into

midnight mist
#

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

balmy condor
#

Yah but now deathstalker is just mid aoe, no niche, and also no st

midnight mist
#

ok calm down

ebon prism
#

Oh

#

Wait that sounds terrible but I still enjoy sin rogue

red schooner
#

Fatebound in raids is chill at least

midnight mist
#

Outlaw does the same st as assa in keys, less AOE and 0 prio

red schooner
#

Just zone out, stab boss

midnight mist
#

What about that cuh

ebon prism
#

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?

ashen totem
#

you also do the same rotation no matter whats in front of you. + you lost acro, so outlaw can rot

midnight mist
#

also idk how a 5% aoe nerf can be mid aoe when assa was like

red schooner
#

People play outlaw?

balmy condor
#

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

midnight mist
#

the absolute best spec in the game before

balmy condor
#

These two things can both exist

midnight mist
#

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

balmy condor
#

I mean it removed like a good 50-60% of its funnel

#

Which was kinda massive

midnight mist
#

taht much

#

okok

#

tbf

balmy condor
#

And a big reason why it was really giga

midnight mist
#

assa funnel

#

was a bit

#

idk

west crown
#

It’s definitely not bad. I’m still doing like 7 overall. Funnel gone sucks and it’s noticeable

midnight mist
#

you remember in sl

#

when sub did funnel

ebon prism
#

Wait is that why I lose in prio damage to arcane mages now?

midnight mist
#

and did 0 aoe in return

balmy condor
#

Also don’t let this distract you from the real enemy

midnight mist
#

to me funnel always should come as a cost

balmy condor
#

Arcane has more funnel and also more execute than assa

haughty flicker
#

wizards

maiden sierra
#

Yeah the funnel being gone is rough, but in reality it doesnt really matter until like 14s where funnel is really needed

little magnet
#

is it time to reroll ?

red schooner
#

Its always the mages

haughty flicker
#

i hate wizards

midnight mist
#

i find it so strange that funnel is just free now

red schooner
#

Bastard wizards

balmy condor
#

Have you looked at p2 loomithar damage

#

Arcane execute is actually unethical

ebon prism
#

I'm gearing my arcane mage already. I did a 10 key today so u can say I'm getting kinda huge

cunning needle
midnight mist
#

ye

#

well

#

wl was op

#

but thats not really my point

ebon prism
#

Does anyone know if the play for high keys is to swap sub then while sin is buggy?

midnight mist
#

funnel used to cost aoe

cunning needle
#

warlocks and mages are the real enemy here

charred obsidian
#

assa is the king of prio

midnight mist
#

now every spec in the game funnel for free while doing their aoe

#

which is weird

grim jay
ebon prism
#

Good cuz I had too much vers gear sitting in my bags. I'm about to go ham on sub

cunning needle
#

no opportunity cost

haughty flicker
#

i'd be fine with funnel costing aoe if the st also wasnt dookie

west crown
midnight mist
#

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

haughty flicker
#

it makes sense that you would have to choose between doing aoe or doing good funnel

midnight mist
#

look at the game now

#

how times have changed

ebon prism
#

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

haughty flicker
#

they way they've implemented funnel nowadays is just a lot of "hit nearby targets and your target takes more damage"

bleak prairie
#

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?

haughty flicker
#

which is kinda weird

balmy condor
# midnight mist now every spec in the game funnel for free while doing their aoe

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

midnight mist
#

im honestly not even sure i know of any spec htat doesnt funnel outside of outalw and sub

golden loom
#

fury?

midnight mist
#

i been playing with arms for a bit

#

and they funnel

little magnet
#

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…

grim jay
midnight mist
#

mabye fury doesnt

balmy condor
#

If specs had a niche you’d also see a lot more comps in m+ lowkey

balmy condor
#

Like the “god comp” in a streets key would be different from a “god comp” in halls or whatever

balmy condor
#

Much more interesting meta

#

Than just like

balmy condor
#

Same 5 spec do all the thing the best

grim jay
haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

Just run those 5

midnight mist
#

im one of the worse prio target in teh game

little magnet
pearl dove
#

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?

midnight mist
#

so idk waht you mean exactly

balmy condor
#

Venomous wounds is like 80-90% of your energy in aoe

ebon prism
#

Damn this guy didnt hear about the 60% nerf to sin rogue. Someone needs to tell him

haughty flicker
#

i heard it was 80%

#

from a streamer

grim jay
midnight mist
hot hill
pearl dove
#

honetly im not going to main this just like learning new specs. give me a break 😄

midnight mist
midnight mist
#

15% of your damage btw

grim jay
#

Oh the beloved button

scarlet orbit
#

The old ks did just work with bf right?

midnight mist
#

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

haughty flicker
#

i agree

#

We very much have the damage to be top dps in every key

dapper halo
#

bleak prairie
#

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

maiden sierra
west crown
final star
#

Guess my coins hate me

west crown
#

Darkest night envenom is still higher

sharp junco
bleak prairie
#

so only envenom with darkest night? i just dump my combo points into tempest?

west crown
#

No

#

Crimson tempest is a bleed. You play for uptime like rupture

summer cape
maiden sierra
#

You spread your bleeds, then st on caustic and mark target

bleak prairie
#

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

bleak prairie
#

st

sharp junco
#

welcome to assa

bleak prairie
#

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?

maiden sierra
#

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

bleak prairie
#

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

maiden sierra
#

Yeah

#

In that case the garrotes are slighlty less inportant

#

But ruptures are still required

bleak prairie
#

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 ?

bleak prairie
#

maybe I just suck kekdog

#

does this spread look normal?

#

i feel like im lacking

#

i do have 2- only

and my stats are not perfect

#

This was a 7 dawnbreaker

#

with 2 other blasters

warm vortex
#

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

magic ravine
#

I do have a +9 key that i might attempt and see how it goes

west crown
magic ravine
#

but to take another poison bomb build for higher

warm vortex
#

Meh, I think bleed is the play all season tbh

#

!bleed

prisma monolithBOT
#

Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:

  1. If you have to ask, you should play bleed
  2. If you're not doing +20's or higher, you should play bleed
  3. Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
  4. 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.
warm vortex
#

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

warm vortex
#

Tbh as long as your keeping tempest up your already doing better than most rogues I see

bleak prairie
#

was playing outlaw until 12s and decided to change thing sup

warm vortex
#

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

warm vortex
maiden sierra
bleak prairie
#

bro has a netherprism and i still dont have mine (or the forge) pepehands

#

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

mightve though

uneven aspen
uneven aspen
haughty flicker
#

it killed the boss so it did work out

#

the shiv thing is probably the biggest thing

#

otherwise get better gamba luck

red schooner
#

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

haughty flicker
#

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

uneven aspen
#

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

haughty flicker
#

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

uneven aspen
#

idk how valuable lust and 2 potions overall are, vs 1 potion in stacked execute cds

haughty flicker
#

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

uneven aspen
#

on reclear i should definitely do it then, because shorter fight length will make the 2nd pot even worse

haughty flicker
#

ye you prob wont even get a second pot going forward

magic ravine
#

@warm vortex did a 10 , a bit better now i feel like

#

but the boss fights are so low DPS

uneven aspen
#

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

I didn’t went over the log but did her second pot did more then her pot in lust?

#

Because of exe?

humble verge
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

golden loom
#

@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!!)

haughty flicker
#

but im just a feelycrafter

#

i say shit confidently and let whispyr get annoyed later

marsh fjord
#

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

haughty flicker

but yeah couldve buffed two edge cases

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?

normal mist
#

no

haughty flicker
#

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

golden loom
#

for dimensius sub probably (for sure) does more dam in the damage amp but I wonder what the case is for salad bar

uneven aspen
#

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

marsh fjord
#

I do wonder what to do with the vanish usage on fract skip the second usage and hold it for your 4;30 DM

haughty flicker
#

which for non rwf guilds is probably going to be pretty important

golden loom
#

well it depends

red schooner
golden loom
#

cause in a few months the damage is gonna be absurd

red schooner
#

No thoughts, just stab

haughty flicker
#

well yeah in a few months anything could change

golden loom
#

with infinite gear, stacking damage buff, another turbo boost

haughty flicker
#

i mean more for people doing it right now

golden loom
#

yeah now I agree for sure

haughty flicker
#

in a few months the adds might just get exploded instantly

#

then you can play whatever and just hard pad amp

golden loom
#

I have a feeling it will just be assa on everything as per usual by the time I am there garf

haughty flicker
#

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

golden loom
#

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

haughty flicker
#

ye fatebound being good st throws a wrench in that normal theme

sullen monolith
#

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.

grizzled geyser
#

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

sharp sinew
sullen monolith
autumn idol
#

if you want to do that, play around with your nameplates, make your debuffs visible but only garrote/rupture/ds mark

sharp sinew

#

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

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

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 ...

The chinese rogues are still breaking dps records every day in keys so I doubt it's as bad as people say

Yes assa is still a good spec on keys, we rely more on bleed management than funnel of caustic imo

jagged niche
#

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:

  1. what does it mean with the bugs? i generally still want to play assassination rogue, is this still fine?

  2. 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?

spice surge
#

Like in a previous tier when assa got buffed by 5% sub went down like 10 spots too

spice surge
#

Despite not receiving any changes

red schooner
#

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

jagged niche
#

so basically we're not at full power yet? haha

merry juniper
#

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

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#
  • 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.
