if we invest gilded crests into a dagger and have crafted, when we need to upgrade the dagger, we have to pay the gilded again right?

normal mist
#

yes

#

but you dont care about the second dagger

haughty flicker
#

the only "bait" part would be if you're simming it at 0% misses and then are actually missing it in gameplay

#

so dont miss

didnt want to thats why i asked someone had to already

ancient pasture
#

On ST bosses i feel so dead in the waters as assa, and im unsure if im doing anything wrong. I keep bleeds up, shiv on cd, keep 2 for DM w. vanish, and then... i just kinda go totally energy dead, throw 2 mutilates, wait 4 seconds to have energy for an envenom, take 8 seconds to get enough combo points for a rupture, etc.

static glacier
#

im fairly sure anyone who actually thinks for a little bit will figure out how meaningless the nerf is

prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.

Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.

Im tryna find someone to log review our key cuz idk sin logs

Yall play with op tanks

i have yet to see one of those

ancient pasture
thorn thorn
#

We have a prot warrior and a vdh

#

And he was below both in ST

muted agate
#

Does he make up for it in AOE?

thorn thorn

No lmao

Some pulls he does top dam but i think its an accident cuz its not consistent at all

What's his overall?

Are we talking ST or overall? cuz thats wild

I finally got heroic lily but I also got netherprism out of vault today and have astral so it doesn't even sim higher sadgesmoke

ancient pasture
#

My last tank has 3M overall at 90 percentile parsing

#

No where NEAR that ST

thorn thorn
ancient pasture
#

if theyre at 3m ST, they should be at 4-5m over all dps

muted agate
#

700-705 ST should be like 2.5M. Overall varies on the tank how he pulls. 7M-8M overall dps

How was it u could avoid the fatebound cdr bug?

or was there no way?

check whispyr latest video

#

he explains it

thorn thorn

hidden inlet
#

tank st are really high rn i think its normal to be outdps'd by tank, you're likely outsimmed by equally geared tanks with bleed build anyways

ancient pasture
#

Is your AoE just trash, or do you have 7m overall?

thorn thorn
#

Brew is a dps in tank clothing

normal mist
#

so im biased

hidden inlet
muted agate
#

@thorn thorn his caustic should be way higher. His mutilate count is super low too, which tells me he is letting it drop and not refreshing it. Make sure he is keeping caustic up, and send more envenoms. 5CP finishers always, unless Darkest night is up, in which case max CP envenom with shiv applied. If he has 4 set, get him comfortable with it consuming a charge of DSM.

#

does sub perform better than assa in raid? cuz i see only sub rogues in mythic prog guilds like echo and liquid

covert elbow
#

best DPS i've seen on a tank is something like 2.5-3 from a bear

#

Another sin rogue

Said sin rogue had negative spatter damage too OMEGAKEKW

when you need burst dmg // amp phases

lilac rapids
#

so like forgeweaver araz?

normal mist
#

Per example yeah, i saw shindigg video yesterday just completely obliterating that boss (mythic)

lilac rapids
#

any more boss fights where sub performs better?

normal mist
#

dimensius too

#

But ill be honest

lilac rapids
#

is there an amp phase on dimensius?

coral ibex
#

yes

ancient pasture
#

Yeah 3rd phase starts with 100% increased dmg

lilac rapids
#

oh alright

normal mist
#

unless you want to min max your mythic runs, you can run whatever spec you want

#

im an heroic raider so i just play assa because i like it

lilac rapids
#

yea im just in a casual heroic guild anyways

marsh ferry
#

WCL statistics are indicating assassination is doing really well on H Dimensius, but I don’t know how much of that is damage that really matters

coral ibex
#

yea there's no damage check

lilac rapids
#

i dont like forgeweaver playing with deathstalker, its bugging out on the pillars and i lose deathstalkers mark

myth tier chest or myth pacemaker from vault? have both on hero alrdy

what did the sim said

#

both like 55k dps increase chest also has leech

muted agate
#

with crystaline radiance applied?

cerulean fable
#

yes

#

both maxxed out

hidden inlet
#

mythic chest with leech of course

cerulean fable
#

chest 56k dps trinket was 63k

waxen oyster
#

10%=giganerfed

#

now i've seen it all

hidden inlet
#

leech on large pieces is huge

#

you can probably buy the trinket later this patch anyways, and its not even bis

cerulean fable
#

chest it is

waxen oyster
#

yeah i would have said trinket if not for the leech

#

both have multiple slot options

muted agate
#

Lol I mean maybe "giga" was overboard but sad it's not as strong 🙁

waxen oyster
#

but rolling tert on a big slot is nice

hidden inlet
#

and picking the pacemaker would bring u into difficult situations if u happen to get something like a heroic antenna

pale shoal
#

Do we know if the Assa bugs are fixed with the Patch yet?

normal mist
#

probably not

#

there would be a pin about that already

waxen oyster
#

in practice a heroic antenna wouldnt beat a myth pacemaker

#

due to more agi

hidden inlet
waxen oyster
#

than a fully upgraded myth?

hidden inlet
#

yea i guess it doesnt represent everyone but at least for my rogue at this moment

Guys any chance myth Cursed Idol trinket world be an option over heroic boots(artifact buff)?
Sim só much better for me in all scenarios but looks bait as fuck.

coral ibex
#

!chainpull

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
  • Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
  • Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

balmy condor

The trinket gives you 380k?

#

If you unequip your other trinkets right

round fjord
#

Aoe ofc simming for m+

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Of course.

#

Aoe sims…

#

Naturally

#

What are your trinkets now

round fjord
#

nahhh, dia for ST also. Both ahead, let me get it. At phone rnow

round fjord
balmy condor
#

Peace I assume you meant pacemaker?

round fjord
#

lol, yeah

balmy condor
#

Yikes

#

Yeah no wonder stone idol looks so good

round fjord
#

But simming m+ options, like lily or crystal. Myth idol still ahead

balmy condor
#

I mean if you’re not opposed to the awkward channel before your CDs, stone idol is good, it’s fine

round fjord
#

Got u

balmy condor
#

It’s not like, the most amazing thing, there’s better trinkets, but it’s workable

#

Otherwise probably boots, especially if you don’t raid mythic (doesn’t seem like it based on vault)

round fjord
#

Exact

balmy condor
#

Those boots will easily beat any myth boots

#

So unless you plan on killing mythic soul hunters

#

That’s effectively bis I guess

hidden inlet
#

My only complaint with idol is the animation isn't cool enough to justify the channel

#

If it was as cool as font im okay with a 4 sec channel

In pins, it says treat netherprism as a 3min trink, so use it every other deathmark with 4set? Or is it better to use it every DM?

If every other I'm guessing use it on the 2nd DM to build stacks?

take chest because its off soul hunters?

helm is easy access on first boss

through catalyst

chest is off frac I guess but soul hunters has a catalyzable one

if my sacbrood (704) is out simming netherprism(710) is it stats?

hello i have a question before vault tomorrow - if my vault has a myth wep and say an average trinket(stone idol) is it worth taking? i have 720 crafted

hot jay
#

it is for sub horror

tight oracle
hot jay
#

but if you don't ever play sub then I guess it don't matter

waxen oyster
#

Let's be honest

#

when people say double on use for sub

#

they mean forge/prism

#

not any other bozo combo

barren yarrow
#

@balmy condor i saw your assassin bug video. Does anything change as far as raid goes? just keep sending vanish at 3 min?

waxen oyster
#

Like double on use works because prism is technically a 3 min

#

and forge is just such a massive 2min

hot jay
#

if your sub with only a prism and lily do you really wear a passive over the lily - prism can't even buff your opener

blazing island
#

hey guys question, my sims want me to use duble onuse signet+trinket fro eco dome (only do m+) which one should I macro to marks? the mastery onuse one?

normal mist
#

dont use double on use

waxen oyster
#

People use streamers use double on use in niche scenarios

#

then fail to understand context

red zealot
#

go for 4 set M gloves or antenna can also cat 2 peices and get full H 4 set

echo heath
#

some streamers are people who have failed upwards

keep that in mind

(I can't get a 3* spark to save my life my only 3* spark is a stam spark on an oguri but her skills are cooked af)

waxen oyster

because assa is kinda braindead easy to play at a serviceable level.

balmy condor
echo heath
#

Hey look at it this way, you may suck at Subtlety but a lot of people suck at this game so you'll probably never be at the bottom if you have a pulse

waxen oyster
#

Maybe one day this spec will be about dots again

#

and not pressing mut mut envenom

#

while watching netflix

hot jay
#

they'd have to add some more dots or something

hot jay
#

there's zero complexity to keeping up garrote, rupture and tempest

#

so it's not gonna provide what your wanting either

echo heath
vapid terrace
#

feels wierd to take heroic antenna vs myth track tier, but with basically everyone wanting antenna, this is the way i go this week

echo heath
#

the real tragedy is what blizz did to Combat Rogue

royal lantern
#

like, 0 chance

hot jay
#

I'm not saying it would or should lol

royal lantern
#

if anything, they remove garrote or something lmao

waxen oyster
hot jay
#

I'm just saying making the spec about dots won't add complexity

balmy condor
# waxen oyster Maybe one day this spec will be about dots again

the problem is that if you make dots a thing you either have to admit that multi-dotting manually is difficult in a tab-target mmo, or you have to make it shadow crash, in which case like we have that, it's called crimson tempest, and you instantly run out of dots to cast and you're back to caustic spatter to fill.

You could make like a bleed caustic-spatter hypothetically, like exsang was an idea, or you could have some like instant-tick-advance mechanic like sub's multistrike from wod, but then you're still just spamming that to advance the ticks and then insta applying dots

#

and with how the game has progressed

#

that's just how it be

tribal stag
#

I have a champ Netherprism and hero Soleahs/Lily. I have myth Lily and Empowering Crystal in my vault. 723 Empowering Crystal + 710 Lily is simming better than all the other combos. Is that the play?

#

Also fuck double on use

balmy condor
#

like you can make the damage profile a damage over time, like aff lock or something

#

but you can't design a combat system around dots without making them secondary to an instant-cast filler

royal lantern
echo heath
#

I think the spec is fine honestly, bugs aside.

#

better than ratlaw

Excluding the indirect benefit

balmy condor

but they still have wither

#

like there's plenty of dot there

i also have plenty of agony tbh

balmy condor
#

but even then, it's not like a true "dot spec" ya know

#

Same with shadow

balmy condor
#

the champ prism is probably still usable on some situations

#

but lily + crystal is a pretty good combo

Nice, cause it’s fun so far. Thx

it's just awkward

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.

!energy

prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.

Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.

Also we use it as a 3m because it lines up with vanish as well

@obsidian harbor best rule to follow is use garotte as your top prio generator (excluding spatter) when ic is up and not all the mobs are garotted

rupture is a bit more nuanced, generally I like to spread to 9 on the big pulls, but generally you want to get rupture on the biggest high hp mobs in the pack

So Lily sims higher then Forge trinket for Fatebound. So if one runs mythic raid, Lily is the play since most of the fights are FB? If im reading the guide and sim right.

so lily naturally becomes better

fallow sonnet
#

yo when you guys do for example opening pull of floodgate (like huge aoe), when ur setting up bleeds do you use every possible window where rupture and garrote are applicable within the IC window to apply rupture and garrote before going into deathmark shiv envenom spam window? like its hard to word this properly but essentially the burst i do is apply a few garrotes and ruptures, get crimson tempest out if theres a ton of mobs around me, continue applying garrote and rupture , deathmark shiv into envenom spam, vanish, reapply rupture and garrote repeatedly reapply crimson tempest then shiv again

#

is that right or am i applying TOO many bleeds in the uncapped situation

static glacier
static glacier
#

keep in mind the key word earlier I said to him in my advice

#

not just spread more bleeds but earlier

#

you can easily get out 6 garottes + 6 ruptures before the pack is stacked

static glacier
fallow sonnet
#

so garrote is higher prio than rupture assuming u have all agi stacks from rupture

#

?

gritty laurel
# viscid spear ???

i mean, i guess put one on the non-DM KBs, but running double on use without the 4p tier sounds giga ass (or even with it because fuck double on use)

#

yes because it generates combo points and improved garrote is pretty good

static glacier
#

and unlike rupture doesn't really have a competing generator, fok can generate more cp but does a lot less damage
