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
gobble balls
not worth putting gilded into then?
it's a bit worse but playable
OFF HAND dagger? no
antenna still good even after nerf?
yes
3% nerf to the crit amount, think for 10 seconds
didnt want to thats why i asked someone had to already
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.
im fairly sure anyone who actually thinks for a little bit will figure out how meaningless the nerf is
!design
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.
thats normal
If you got a myth dagger it’s probably worth upgrading at some point and moving your crafted to your offhand but it depends on what else you have to upgrade with your guilded at this point and what you’re likely to acquire soon
chadbound vs soystalker
Fucking feels so rough, if i go into an ST situtation without DM i do tank level dmg
makes sense, i got bis in vault but its hero so im prob not taking it bc of how that works
your tanks must be really good
Offhand is lowest prio for stats so I wouldn’t take a hero dagger at all
this was my last 10 araKara, ill show the boss dmg:
all ima say is my forum post says this, proven true
If i have no shivs, no cds, i do like 1,5-2m st
what forum post
thanks, I always thought it was kinda important since ppl say wep is important but yeah ig it just means mainhand
Thats boss damage?
you gave me no context
how do you have no shivs and no cds for an entire boss fight
Are you playing bleed?
yes
about rogues in tww
Yea just main hand
YEAH BUT CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME THE POST OR GIVE ME FULL CONTEXT
And he is almost 690
D:
im 703
@humble verge just post bunnies
No fx on PSF, we pulled the court yard seperately from Aemya, so i spend all CDS and shivs on lightspawns, so had nothing on Aemya
@thorn thorn wait are those ST actually somewhat good?
Compared to our rogue yes by a lot
He is frequently below tanks
Afaik most if not all tanks are doing 2.5 to 3.5M ST with current gears? I think that sounds about right
Im tryna find someone to log review our key cuz idk sin logs
What... most boss fights in 10-12s end with DPS around 2.5-3M
Does he make up for it in AOE?
No lmao
Some pulls he does top dam but i think its an accident cuz its not consistent at all
are we talking about normal tanks, doing normal 10s with 700 ilvl?
What's his overall?
My brm is the highest at 3m+ consistently
Warrior is a bit lower and occasionally hitting 3M
DK does like around 2.5 most of the time
Are we talking ST or overall? cuz thats wild
ST
I finally got heroic lily but I also got netherprism out of vault today and have astral so it doesn't even sim higher 
Terrible
if theyre at 3m ST, they should be at 4-5m over all dps
700-705 ST should be like 2.5M. Overall varies on the tank how he pulls. 7M-8M overall dps
are we still talking about tanks?
That's like FG^^
3m ST tank dmg sounds cope
It's even easier in 10s with the affix buff
say sike
naw sin rogue
oh okay, yeah my highest overall so far this season was like 7.5
Its not
Damn wish i could hit those numbers
This is overall not ST lmao
I know
i can't check this because i dont log
that's the highest overall I hit last night lol
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KD6MVtbgFxY8Tzcr?fight=10&type=damage-done
He asked me to post it so he could “get roasted”
Is there any merit to staying above 150 energy in ST, or is it just send envenoms and cry?
yeah i was a floodgate too xD
@thorn thorn I'll look at his log
Yes but no
Many thanks
just press abilities
Its the HOA and streets
you could try to min max sanguine blades and remain above 150 but its not really worth it
Brew is cheating
havnt played with a brew, whats your overall?
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
Is your AoE just trash, or do you have 7m overall?
Brew is a dps in tank clothing
its the first time seeing a tank do good dps
so im biased
like 5-7 depending on dungeons but i only pug, i think if u pull big it cna be higher
@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.
5 overall is crazy tho for a tank, half my dps run lower than 5 overall
does sub perform better than assa in raid? cuz i see only sub rogues in mythic prog guilds like echo and liquid
best DPS i've seen on a tank is something like 2.5-3 from a bear
He actually lost to a rogue in that priory thats in the log
Another sin rogue
depends on the fights
Said sin rogue had negative spatter damage too 
Did we really got hotfixed?
No
when is sub generally better than assa in what type of fights?
when you need burst dmg // amp phases
so like forgeweaver araz?
Per example yeah, i saw shindigg video yesterday just completely obliterating that boss (mythic)
any more boss fights where sub performs better?
is there an amp phase on dimensius?
yes
Yeah 3rd phase starts with 100% increased dmg
oh alright
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
yea im just in a casual heroic guild anyways
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
yea there's no damage check
i dont like forgeweaver playing with deathstalker, its bugging out on the pillars and i lose deathstalkers mark
dont mark the pillons
Pillons
@thorn thorn tell him to get Whispyr's WeakAura pack for rogues if he does not have it btw. https://wago.io/a4RNXiGN8 I think he probably just needs to be more cognizant of caustic and how he's managing his bleeds across targets
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
myth tier chest or myth pacemaker from vault? have both on hero alrdy
what did the sim said
Sim it, but prob tier chest lol pace got giga nerfed in S3
both like 55k dps increase chest also has leech
with crystaline radiance applied?
mythic chest with leech of course
chest 56k dps trinket was 63k
leech on large pieces is huge
you can probably buy the trinket later this patch anyways, and its not even bis
chest it is
yeah i would have said trinket if not for the leech
both have multiple slot options
Lol I mean maybe "giga" was overboard but sad it's not as strong 🙁
but rolling tert on a big slot is nice
and picking the pacemaker would bring u into difficult situations if u happen to get something like a heroic antenna
Do we know if the Assa bugs are fixed with the Patch yet?
heroic antenna is slightly better for my profile at least
than a fully upgraded myth?
yea i guess it doesnt represent everyone but at least for my rogue at this moment
I've picked up rogue for the first time this expac, and I'm already annoyed at all the tanks that dont let me restealth. Kms
!restealth
you do have 2 vanish charges
whoops
but they've got to be close at least
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.
!chainpull
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.
I use them
I'm stuck at the first point. The tanks I run with do that shit all the time
Are you by chance… pugging?
Sometimes
@balmy condor can u help me with this? Or is just sim bait, never saw one rogue using it
Mix of pugging and friend groups
Where?
It’s fine, but it’s a 1s channel so it’s annoying
Boots gives me like 80k and trinket 380
Aoe ofc simming for m+
nahhh, dia for ST also. Both ahead, let me get it. At phone rnow
Peace/soleah hero LMAO
lol, yeah
But simming m+ options, like lily or crystal. Myth idol still ahead
I mean if you’re not opposed to the awkward channel before your CDs, stone idol is good, it’s fine
Got u
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)
Exact
Those boots will easily beat any myth boots
So unless you plan on killing mythic soul hunters
That’s effectively bis I guess
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

why do we shiv before deathmark btw?
im looking up highest parses on nexus king, and 3rd one i review they dont xDD
not just pugs, come play with the few tanks we have again.. I have to yell at them to restealth.
okay, ty, new to FB
Oh, hey ganan
👋
I will be playing a bunch this season. I'm tryna learn sin cause I've never played it before. So I'll join yall as much as I can
this might be more clear
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?
oowiee
If every other I'm guessing use it on the 2nd DM to build stacks?
feelsgood
I'm assuming antenna nerfs are live with new patch. Is it still bis for anyone else?
Yes
Not sure what you mean
A 0.2% nerf to a trinket still makes it bis :P
Since it builds stacks, I assume we can't use it on pull, so use it on even number DM's?
ok that's it, im below a fdk on overall. this singular focus bug needs to be fixed NOW
yea ty, i got the basic rotation, just didnt know the reason behind it besides 'some buff' because of FB
unacceptable!!!
sandbagging little b1tch a$$ rets using logs before they crafted their 2h to beg for buffs
Wauuuuw wow settings not working properly
its normal than the wrathstone of ulduar in 704 sims higher than a lily 710?
hmm, helm or chest mythic tier in vault
take chest because its off soul hunters?
helm is easy access on first boss
through catalyst
100%
if my sacbrood (704) is out simming netherprism(710) is it stats?
my guild is probably not reclearing those bosses for a long time lol
double on use isnt real
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
it is for sub 
oh woops my 2nd trinket is myth lily
but if you don't ever play sub then I guess it don't matter
Let's be honest
when people say double on use for sub
they mean forge/prism
not any other bozo combo
@balmy condor i saw your assassin bug video. Does anything change as far as raid goes? just keep sending vanish at 3 min?
Like double on use works because prism is technically a 3 min
and forge is just such a massive 2min
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
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?
dont use double on use
People use streamers use double on use in niche scenarios
then fail to understand context
go for 4 set M gloves or antenna can also cat 2 peices and get full H 4 set
wdym failed upwards
As a sandwich
well the odd numbered DM's are every 3 min, so idk why you would use it on evens
You failed in general if you're trying to gain viewers streaming wow.
Instead of literally any other game
like fml people get more viewers streaming gacha games
I think if you steam and just play wow all day eventually you’re gonna time some keys. So it’s a time versus skill thing.
Especially with resilient keys
Isn't that most key players
nothing beats that dopamine hit of pulling tokai teio from a 1 card draw
outside of mdi players
I have max LB kitasan black and I just pulled narita from banner AMA
just keeping it a buck I'm probably only playing sub for the mythic raid fights where it is shining, and those fights have damage amps so idk
@frozen glacier
seems like high value for a spec that only does damage in cds
I mean yeah sub tends to only draw people when its good
(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)
because assa is kinda braindead easy to play at a serviceable level.

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
Maybe one day this spec will be about dots again
and not pressing mut mut envenom
while watching netflix
Big Blimpin
they'd have to add some more dots or something
there's zero complexity to keeping up garrote, rupture and tempest
so it's not gonna provide what your wanting either
this spec has always been about maintaining your dots and hitting envenom
feels wierd to take heroic antenna vs myth track tier, but with basically everyone wanting antenna, this is the way i go this week
the real tragedy is what blizz did to Combat Rogue
that will never happen
like, 0 chance
I'm not saying it would or should lol
if anything, they remove garrote or something lmao
not as bad as it is lately
I'm just saying making the spec about dots won't add complexity
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
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
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
isnt afflock almost all malefic?
Not really, it's only 20% in aoe
Excluding the indirect benefit
malefic is exactly one of the examples of "dot but not really"
but they still have wither
agony
UA
like there's plenty of dot there
i also have plenty of agony tbh
but even then, it's not like a true "dot spec" ya know
Same with shadow
that sounds reasonable yes
the champ prism is probably still usable on some situations
but lily + crystal is a pretty good combo
For a total noob rogue, Hit Max Level yesterday, do the bugs matter enough that i try focus learn another of the two specs? 
no
Is Jastor Diamond still not working right?
Yeah it's simming like ~1k dps above the other combo but that's me sneezing during a pull so idgaf. I just suck at using netherprism I think
99% of the guys complaining about the bugs would not even know they exists without somebody else telling them about it lmao
wow players
👍
also if you did focus learn another of the two specs, you'd be in for a rude awakening cause they got plenty of their own bugs

Nice, cause it’s fun so far. Thx
reasonable
prism is a trinket that benefits a ton from being able to pull it at better points in time
if you can't be fucked doing that, totally fine
At least we got new dragonriding races instead of bug fixes
Ok
I cannot be fucked
I'm fuming that parry is a thing
you're so based
I know they removed kingsbane parried
attack from behind
How can i do that on dimenius p1
but how will I kiss the boss on the lips
play sub
???
If you pray for hero antenna/pacemaker to drop, then myth lily from vault might be ok. Try simming that if you want to farm pacemaker
that's the one blessing I will enjoy when my guild gets to dimensius after our slow prog
sub has that mechanic where you just don't get parried lol, from trickster
blizzard has gone on record during a podcast from some people saying that they don't want directional combat to be a thing, but having things like parry is just enough flavor to make things interesting
(paraphrased obviously)
but like
parry ain't going anywhere
get used to it

we dont want directional combat, but we have directional combat
Just expertise cap /I'mold
It's themiatic to lose a cooldown, represents the hoplesness of fighting dimensius
when the entire frost aoe rotation is directional
frost aoe is like only in front of you
its the most directional spec
blizzard is high
Cause yknow he is like a big void gamer
they need to go home and rework frost again
bro what? all of mop was mobs with frontal shields making them immune from one side, did they uturn on this?>
nah blizz just arbitrarily employs their ideas
theres no reason behind some shit they do
"just cuz"
mists of pandaria was 13 years ago grandpa lets get you back to bed
streets does the boss and mobs with a directional shiedl
But srsly fuck parry >:(
so does the opener for fatebound guarantee getting 7 correct flips in a row to proc the agility bonus
kb can't be parried
isnt like 90% of the dev team from MoP not even there anymore
yes
i stopped caring after that
Actually a lot of melees are like that
i hate how frost aoe is now directional
I've been in a coma for 14 years, where do I buy poisons?
i'm just still a noob at anything but deathstalker so just trying to wrap my head around the slightly different playstyle
you do a spike attack from teh front
idk I'll make sure to do a headcount next time I'm making my rounds through the cubicles and let you know
apparently subtlety is the #1 spec alongisde frost dk
how did this happen
did everyone suddenly become gods at subtlety
subtlety isn't really "hard"
no the few people who can play it well did
Subt is giga easy excluding some awkward optimization
but it's not like people can't play sub
fuck

youjust cant have adhd
no wonder when i hekili'd subtlety it was dogshit
you have to hold cd's
hekili just sends everything whenever its up
this is news
is that true
But if u just want to do like 95% damage it's just macro and 12121212
play sub with one key rotation you'll do great
iunno
sub CDs feel terrible because there are like 6 of them for some reason
Do you guys think i should get set mythic head or burn a cat charge for a myth head that has leech? (from vault)
hekili knows to hold I'm pretty sure, they pull simc apl right
whenever i want to try out a new spec or something i just listen to hekili
and see how it goes
Haha
no clue but last season my subtlety following hekili was dogshit
Yet half the melee work like that nowdays
Ret, enhance, frost, surv, feral
direction to the mob itself obviously there's frontals

lets not fucking pretend like frontals are the issue
i think he thinks its bugged
@keen mantle is it true?
How much of a loss is running iron wire in keys? It feels so much better when things dont cast
i'll never not laugh at arcane mages/bm hunters complaining about having "frontals"
Wait
A lot of ppl suck in m+ cause they're not hitting everything with their abilities
hes literally ina key
Rogue is bugged?
😭
like just turn your character??? you are ranged
backstab can be used from the front
Wait, what BM frontals?
It doesn't have any
are we back to playing fdk
4 set stampede is a frontal
@keen mantle are you literally in a key?
😭
He's figuratively in a key
your moms a key
Tbh istampede is fucked, but not for it being a "frontal"
a key of cocaine
It's cause it has an insane amount of bugs, encourages an unfun piece of tech, and is also undertuned to hell
Now hit me with a reaction video. Do it.
My current heroic netherprism is beating out my vault myth lily. Please tell me there's some explanation for this so I don't have have to take back to back sockets 
Thanks
lily is understatted prism is very good

Remind me with prisim you just use it on vanish for fatebound right?
as in the second one in a fight
and m+ you just use it
So p much 2nd vanish
ye
it's dogshit for normal reclears tho fights already under 3 mins
thank god im done with normal
Yuh
Tbh i've lost motivation to play rogue in raid atm due to 4pc just being stinky sometimes
im playing sub and loving it
Was playing mostly BM tonight, started playing SV instead as it was fun, got flanking parried back to back so i swapped back to BM cause i was salty as fuck
if they removed like 1 or 2 buttons sub would be bis for me
Yeah I'm turbo ass at sub ngl
Tbh
I have a lot of griped with sub
i am confused, why are things with shitty stats ie the gloves being haste vers are simming higher than their cata crit mas variant
ilvl?
sin doesnt really have shitty stats
30k is not much with current dps, it'll just be a stat weight thing
thats like a rounding error in a sim
assa likes any stat really
WHATSUP?
ilvl is the most important stat
WHY YOU PING M<E
nah i'd listen to the sim big dog
@balmy condor
Is rogue bugged
weeklies bro
DK is just a better outlaw rogue
alr alr
I hope you have a good day

im in a pickle, hero boots (reshi ones) or the mythic tier set
Bro im seeing people post this knowing im gonna get thronguses finger in my vault somehow
i cant wait to get triple cloak tmrw
All belts and cloaks for you, fren
bros getting fingered
Have you fuckin seen the size of throngus
Any news on the talent bugs being fixed already?
I'm running a sim but any advice?
That's like a full on delve
Stop please
dayum
I won Loom dagger and Forge trinket last week
big dawg
I'm a fan of throwing so I like running iron wire in keys because people cant be trusted to stop things. How much of a loss is running it in keys? It feels so much better when things dont cast horrible shit for many seconds every pack
i think its like 3-5%
it's a lot. you can sim any talent build to get a precise number
Is the dungeon slice sim accurate?
grrr
its so sad u lose alot bcs iron wire is so good
graaa, gnrrngrrr, arrgh,, aaa
iron wire is great in certain keys
How big is going from 2pc to 4pc in m+ roughly?
is the jastors ring at 72% uptime in a key still worth using?
While we're on keys, is it bleed build all the way down?
Or does that change at some point
all other builds are ded
RIP
hybrid got rip'd
Guys anyone knows if talents are still bugged or fixed?
Dagger counted towards my "Two Needs Per Week" allotment so I auto-lost tier token on Hunters
bugged to shit
reroll sub if still bugged xd?
theres an allotment?!
bugged*
Assa still does more on big aoe
Does the today's day end in today?
if anything happens there will probably be something in the pins. you can also go to wowhead
I'm channeling all my positive vibes into your Vault tomorrow
Yep, two Need rolls per week.
I'm the only Rogue, btw
no more chat brainrot
the chat brainrot is so hard
i talk to my mom
she asked me
sub or assa
im losing it
im also only rogue which is bis

Well waht did you tell her
If you said outlaw your probably getting disowned
does a reload fix talents?
i actually hate kira for making that video. every 30s there is going to be someone saying BUGS???
If your on about the short?
But because I clicked Need on the Loom' dagger it counted as a Need roll. RL said I should've click Major Upgrade.
I think i got him to link whispyrs video in the comments so that's good :D
as if anyone is going to read
your RL is a dick
idk someone said you thought rogue was bugged, so I was just asking, rogue bug?

theres a better question whispyr
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2KvcRwgjBnWKBQqRei1HeU
Somebody help, is there a way to sim FB to get the proper value out of Prism?
Yooo Casual , do you think they will fix the bugs? LIKE MY FUCKING UNCLE WORKS AT BLIZZARD
everyone always asking HOW rogue bugged, but never WHY rogue bugged
Whispyr is the CEO of activision blizzard
Interns
he is just closeted about it
don't worry, it's like that in here too
bugs fixed?
bitch is there a pin saying the bugs are fixed? No? Then they're fucking not 
After all this time, you still think we pay attention to pins? Are you crazy?
Now please answer my inquiry
is .3 of eachother, what you guys think? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/h5QozE6x1ziEtcxFCwyT9e
or people pinging me 2am on a monday morning "did they fix the bugs"
yes, obviously the devs went into the office
on a sunday afternoon
What time is it for you rn
cause I released a video
do you work at my company
asking so i can pin you at 2am on a monday morning
3:41 pm
Aight gotcha fam
why dont they just fix the bugs amirite
how hard is hardmode taz
tbh you did say that blizzard know about the bugs, we thought you told your uncle at blizz
Hey guys, just coming back to the game. As far as performance goes is bleed or hybrid considered better right now?

like in terms of a key level
Setting an alarm so i remember
Hey did they fix the bugs 🐛?
Bleed
once you know the fights and have some gear imo its pretty easy
Damn ok. Thanks!
Shame Pacemaker is only Hero-track, but I'm conflicted on whether I should grab Prism.
Most of the guild is rolling in tier sets and I'm stuck with 2pc and now two Catalyst charges
captain dragon was the only annoying fight imo
!bleed
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.
@balmy condor 
Why y'all booly mr Whispor soo much man 
the BUGS 🐛!!!
With antenna whats my other trinket to aim for from Raid Prism or Araz?
for m+ or raid?
he called me grandpa
prism = raid araz = m+
both reall I guess
Thanks, seems to be close enough if I enjoy hybrid more i'm not completly handicapping myself?
Yea, you can
What goes well with each?
Just better for things above a 12 else shit dies way to fast, bleed is still better, but i understand liking hybrid more
antenna
Prism is fine for keys too
Tbh, im tempted to play it when bliz fixes bugs
rn im just gonna play survival until both BM and Assa get some notes haha
Just araz not great for raid
prism makes more boom lasers, therefore better
Eleem are the bugs fixed yet
Shit do be dying fast. Guess I can do bleed low keys, hybrid high keys
Damn, so I guess I should grab this Prism from GV?
what else you got?
something something do what the sim says
Fuck it imma try and sleep now it's nearly wednesday
Thanks ash for the vault luck
Like GV options or trinket choices?
both i guess
Well I ran a sim and it said Pacemaker
But idk if there's a particular way to sim the 3min style of Prism for FB
One last questions, I noticed Sub is over assass right now. Just for curiosity sake, whats the gap?
myth pacemaker is harder to get than netherprism
Sadly that's Hero-track 
o then get netherprism imo
Look at warcraftlogs and see for yourself
I'm mad at myself for not pushing higher for Myth-track, believe me
Asking more for M+.
But thanks for the help 
i think lots of mythic people are playing sub due to the fight being shit for deathstalker in mythic
I still have a 684 Pacemaker from last season, is it worth holding onto it to use when I'm DS like in M+?
When I simmed basically any hero trinket even a second on use I didn't use in that slot was better because more stats
So Prism-Forge would be okay?
For me as a 3kio player running weekly 12s mostly on both sub and assa, they are similar overall depending on dungeon. I currently prefer sub because I’m sick of hitting like a wet noodle during bosses 🤣
Sim it i think forge doesn't have a big AGI stat on it so probably not as good
What number are the trinket slots again?
lmao I feel that, I appreciate it! I haven't played sub since legion. How's the rotation feeling?
13/14 are trinket slots
13/14
kk, ty
What is it?
no shot that is the question my goat pings whispyr with
bro said nobody asks why
besides the two equiped?
i asked why
If im only gonna be able to get a Heroic Araz should I grab a Mythic Lily in my Vault and just not worry about Araz? Mostly M+ player
yes
cadizz, you probably should run a top gear and/or droptimizer sim
Look inside yourself and you will find the answer you seek
6'1 stand on my money now I'm 6'1
sin is bugged because whispyr hasn't suffered enough. he needs to become a singularity of agony
HORSE POWER HORSE POWER
ALL THIS POLO ON I GOT HORSE POWER
In general how valuable is atrophic poison in raid?
about 3.6%
IM THE WORLD 153RD BEST UNLICENSED GYNOCOLOGIST 📣 🔥

Did you know that
Weird question - are tier appearances shared with any other items? I somehow have the shoulder appearance and have not gotten any version of them yet. I even checked item restoration in a panic...
wowhead has a tab for this, could check there
Oh nice ok
these things give you the appearances
Def havent traded any in either
Hm no shared model it seems, theres on in my vault waiting to accept but thats it
Speaking of which, did you also know that

wdym, we "fixed" ur fb 4 pc, sit down - blizz prolly
@balmy condor In your latest video, you stated how Sudden Demise is bugged. Question is, it is still worth it to have for M+ builds right since the 15% Bleed damage isn't bugged?
it isnt bugged in m+
It isn't bugged in keys
Okay.
Just open world and delves
Okay, ty.

Would lily beat out signet in m+
Was thinking signet might be better since it lines with DM
Because the first one on pull would be unbuffed so using it on 2 and 4 would be 2 fully buffed (assuming) uses versus an unbuffed and a buffed one? I'm guessing my thinking doesn't pan out though
It's every other with fatebound
Which is 1:30
You sound like you're talking about deathstalker
In that case just use it every set

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/aSnRRpNf6s2ffLNBZLgRfR
idk what to take from my vault, ive been doing more m+ than raiding but i find it hard to believe soleahs and signet are that good compared to my current trinkets idk why, anyone have some advice for me?
any idea why with this talent i always energy starve in the single target on the bosses?
any tips ?
No I'm talking about fate. I'm just wondering if I wait until the even sets because if I use it on rip it wouldn't have any stacks.
!energy
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.
Why are you saying even numbers then with fate
Also we use it as a 3m because it lines up with vanish as well
So you're buffing your giga vanish deathmark not a baby deathmark
reminder
Using it otherwise is desyncing it from vanish and losing value
I try to avoid French people in general
:)
what
it takes 3 minutes to stack
your 1:30 deathmark would be at half stacks
The frenchies i do keys with are blasters
I'm lost... Isn't Assa bugged in m+?
and you don't have vanish on your 1:30 dm
YEAH BUT 1AM FRENCH PEOPLE ARE DOG WATER PISSPOUR JUGGING GONG HONGING PKOSAJDOJIAKPSJOIKDSA
whispyr ! i got 2 new trinkets
it is bugged, but what are you implying
the other 5 in storage
Avoidance gaming
are they better than any of the above or no?
Do whatever the hell you want
CT is always with 2+?
1+
Is bleed build doing better in mythics over kingsbane?
1+ is with amplifying, no?
Not sure if this has been discussed already but I heard through the grape vine that there was a stealth nerf to Sin
true?
Hi guys, here you can find my logs of the last key. Can you help me to improve? I think my dps is low for thie ILVL https://it.warcraftlogs.com/reports/6RQkAVGtwn1mHX3c?fight=last
no +1 as in on ST
Gonna use my boost on a 4th rogue to bypass the campaign stuff, lets goo
lmao
in fatebound 4pc are we shiving the entire duration of deathmark? Or are we putting a gap inbetween both shivs to cover the end of the now 18s kingsbane?
macro lily with DM
yo guys been playing mythics with what you said the bleed build and I noticed that YES in AOE I destroy but Im lacking on single target any tips what can I do? and btw I dont have kingsbane on that bleed talent tree so how can I perform in a single target boss(in a mytihc)?
i got Myth Lily and saw it was ok so I grabbed it
would signet be better for M+?
Any1 for me?
Really depends on your secondary stat distro- you want signet to smash mastery. And everything from antenna, seaforium, DISC belt, jastor diamond, and your current alchemical chaos flask can alter that
Pull mobs on the boss, all assa m+ setups do terrible ST
okok
The big aoe makes up for the bad ST
bleed build single target is bare shit - there's not a whole lot you can do. Keep your bleeds up, and enjoy slowly crawling back on dps when the boss is <35% health
ok thank you guys
You can try pooling energy to stay above 50% for the extra bleed ticks? But idk if that's actually bait
I find when I try to do that I'm basically just never envenoming and I feel like that's bad
Not good, dont 
Yea I felt like it was trash lol
Oh so its better to not pool energy?
juyst keep dots up
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/6RQkAVGtwn1mHX3c?fight=last&type=damage-done My parse is really low, what I do wrong?
spread more bleeds earlier on the first pull
playing fatebound why gudie says to use vanish? did i miss anything?
read fatebound talents
So first pull I go to garrote and rapt for more target? Only after start the real rotation?
Dunno if anyone else has experienced it yet, but I've just had Deathstalker's Mark get stripped off targets when hitting Garrote in my AoE opener
I'm going to cry... I'm being humiliated in ST when I don't have CDs.. Please buff ST 
is FB with 4 set pulling ahead of DS in M+?
no
yes, do activate spatter but you can spread a lot more bleeds on the first pull of floodgate
DS M+ build best to run still?
especially garotte while ic is up
ic?
this vanish isn't great either
Does anyone else
indiscriminate carnage
look at their damage breakdown
and see how every talent does work
and wonder how people even consider fatebound in dungeons

Need to spam mor garrote/rap?
whar da shiv
And: we have a macro to target in easy way the mob with Deathstalker's Mark ?
In big pull change target to spread garrote/rap it's hard to find
yes for sure
Or get Plater and put a nice big mark icon on some nicely stacked plates
Normally use focus to cast trick on tank, need to change macro?
I'm now use plater but in big pull (5+mob) it's hard to find the right healthbar
i just do mouseover ruptures & garrotes
@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
Have you a macro to share with me?
so on first pull flood you deffo want it on the big robots and the caster dog guy
who does the fire beam
is the hybrid build better for 12s and up or just play bleed build?
forgot the name
Could also just mouseover tricks the tank
bleed, hybrid makes much worse use of the tierset
ty
@balmy condor says every 2 mins for Fatebound single target guide // Wowhead
Really not smart decision, cast on target it's really easy
did you select tier set 4pc?
What am I doing with Prism if I don't have 4pc? Just send on CD or delay to DM?
i think you'd use it with dm, like for deathstalker
yeah
rip, guess he will fix
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, exists, harm, nodead][] Rupture

I need to make a whole new entry
for that
god
thanks for pointing it out
but that's also possibly the most annoying thing to fix
Why? You cast it once per pull lol. You dont need to focus a tank
What do I do with Rik's barrels?
If need trink in the middle of a boss (mob spawn etc) it's a little tricky to use, no?
Why would you need to do that
U rupture to 9 targets? Isn't that a big waste?
But also no, its not hard
no, it does a lot of damage and ensures when the pack starts dying I don't have to reapply rupture if the higher hp mobs don't have rupture
scent of blood goes hard
scent is only up to 5
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.
yeah turns out you shouldnt play a 2min trinket for a 1.5min spec
so lily naturally becomes better

Hey guys how do I build combo points?
turn your monitor off
Looted a mythic lily today, gunna be sweet until mythic prism
are sims broken for netherprism or something? bloodmallet has it wayyyyyy higher then any other trinket but raidbots doesnt seem to agree?
BiS myth ring(fatebound), or myth legs, shoulders?
figure based off bloodmallet it'd sim higher at 704
im leaning legs since 1st boss drops ring, sim it
If youre simming a 710 lily vs a 704 prism, the lily is going to come out ahead
i see now, might've been mixing it up with looking at sub
It also depends on your stats right
If you have more mastery then lily will probably lose some value etc

Another inquiry
I don't have 4pc and am currently using Forge+Prism. As FB how do I space the trinkets out?
Hmm I feel like it's a waste of a lot of gcds and the rupture dmg is so little instead of just going into caustic spatter envenoms right away
Just get to 5 and go into funnel
you do you, this is what works for me, i've yet to lose an overall
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
also you simply can't go into caustic bc the mobs aren't stacked, you spread bleeds while tank gathers, garotting of the mobs he tags with damage and running with him
???
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
read above, it's clearly a divisive topic how many bleeds you choose to spread, the minimum is 5 ruptures + as many garottes as you can have on the enemies.
so garrote is higher prio than rupture assuming u have all agi stacks from rupture
?
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
yes 100%. it's incredibly high damage per execute if there's still mobs without garotte to dot
and unlike rupture doesn't really have a competing generator, fok can generate more cp but does a lot less damage
oooh ok
Why do I want to cast vanish? Just not sure why it's important for dps in this way.
Just gpt 4 piece, when using FB. Do i not use KB by itself after i get through my opener?
This is hard one, myth pants might be the go, but we are very close to killing loom myth, myth wrists could be good if i switch out my crafted to worst tier piece, i think trinkets might be good for outlaw but yeah im big confusion
I can find usefull macros to put target on my Deathstalker's Mark?
you do, every 45s you will kb.
I don't see where it says why. I just see that it says to do it. Can you explain please?
read the fatebound talents
never wrists, everyone is blindly following bis lists which feature crafted wrists, you will get them from raid on soulbinder if you need
double jeopardy on the hero talents FB
Vanish there is to guarantee you'll get lucky coin
!up
!gear
the sim has finally had it with our shit
during the opener that second shiv, is it used during 8 secs of DM or the 8 seconds of KB?
Thank you
good call, think its worth going myth pants just to cata them? i just think loom will fall over pretty quick when thats on farm will be easy access to legs token
it's legs, let your raidteam have the legs
you want to maximise your raidteams dps, not just your own


during the last 8 sec of KB
i guess thats true, i think im over vauling one vault, we dont have too many people on my tier token is what im worried about
it's wild how sometimes people actually lose sight of raiding being a cooperative game
issue is would anything else be an upgrade?
someone has the first kill loomithar log? my guild wanna rotate me because low dmg on add xD
Oh no it’s rik all over again
just hit the add a few times and then show them the tank damage you're doing to it
its rik again bro
Should I put my S2 Pacemaker on instead?
and go back to hitting boss
do they have another rogue or are they just willing to give up the raidbuff?
This doesn’t work, you just get told to hard swap please or get subbed out anyway lol
tell them about how great atro is
like my outlaw offspec maybe becasue myth warpclaw, but idk if thats even good for outlaw
ahaha i dk sub its worst in this boss
atro is op
Or go sub 🤔
it's 3rd bis for OL on bloodmallet, idk if it's simbait or good
maybe ask in outlaw
seems it's actually good
