i pray for the death of sigil of chains
Bear will always be the entry level tank without much going on. No attention needed. 
make it share a node with silence
its your chance blizzard, while you make the third spec
kill it
very
strike while the iron is hot
Bear is the ret of tanks
Idk I feel like bear has way less going on
Even easier tools
and vdh only cause you have to play like a dps and most tank players dont do that
like idk
the skill floor for all of them are lowish now
brew was also dumbed down alot
basically ya
when at this point is probably one of the more skill intensive ones
i mean
sure?
but thats bdk and brew too
cause sustain tanks
Not really, any tank not prepped is getting 2 shot
while bear protw and ppal are mitigation tank
bdk if you go in without boneshield
but all of them shhouldnt be getting 100-0

unless your bad
worst case you open with a CD until your mitigation is rolling
bdk still has ways to get boneshirld up out of combat
yeah warrior having it built into their dps rotation made me think its simpler
free shield wall from ava
block from shield charge
warrior has more spinning discs to manage, entry level bear is much lower then entry war

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
You hit barkshin, charge, thrash...GG
ohhhh the cold blood is for the envenom, not the kb
!streets
Do we have a spec for streets?
This bleed build is horrific in streets with all single target.
Is there a hybrid or would fatebound ST with caustic be the go to
Why not sub for other dungs then?
bc funny bleed number
Also bleed is not that bad, I tried cleave but didn't reach bleed numbers with it
for fate build in ST raid, is there a benefit to vanish into mutilate instead of ambush? i see that on some logs
I think fatebound st with caustic will do more value than bleed in streets
FB is negative damage
just didnt prism on trash
Whispyr potentially suggested the cleave build there
But also if its "horrific", it sounds like a you problem
Yeah if you really insist on playing assa still
But bleed st felt fine idk
i still ended most bosses over 3m
this surr thing is stupid, its not fit for m+ design
i just been kidnapped by a tank keyholder
he didnt want to surr and he didnt want to pull
Report him then. Also leaving once in a while wont flag you anyways

what? ddont you get flagged every time you leave?
whats it, 2 times? how it works?
It would make trolling way too easy
I'mma play fatebound hybrid
Gotta ask blizz
Apparently not
if tank doesnt want to pull thats what tricks is for
Actually based
I’m gonna play in your butt

Yeah not so funny now, is it big buy

Say hybrid fatebound one more time and I’ll do a donut on it
fatebrid, hybound
I love how universally unhinged the guidewrites are for this game
hybrid fatebound
It takes a special kind of person to deal with the nonsense this game provides
you know i would have normally said that fuu is the sole unhinged guidewriter for rogues on wowhead until I saw how he writes his 1s
Oh 100%, nothing but respect lmaooooo. Ive just seen Porom on the mage discord say some wild shit
That’s a triangle
from last night when someone was asking if they could skip sectech or something
dont ask
My bad
your 7's are scuffed
its fuu not me!
this is a number dyslexic hate crime
LOL
hence why #assassination message
You cant say thats a 1 with a straight face
I love it when they shut down a discord until blizzard buffs them too.
When we putting #assassination on read-only until bugfixes
this is also his 5 second drawing of a cat
Bro anthrax is typing?
and going to twitter
I’m cooked
this goes hard
What about the other guy
this goes insanely hard
Shim
its kinda good NGL
Looks more like a mouse ngl
But its good regardless
better than anything i could do
Anthrax and Ricin
youre not the only one to say that
@sly ginkgo no you can't j ust blueball us like that
Speaking of sub btw
My fave is when you see someone typing for minutes.
What a horseshit spec
Only to write 2 sentences
???????????????
yeah press your flag 2 seconds earlier
i press black powder 
I actually kinda live for those moments
They got knocked
bruh i'm stilled hyped from our Heroic salhadaar prog last night. that boss has perfect timings for sub, and they just slap in a perfect aoe section in there for ya
on my coldblood secrettech
Dang I thought that was anthrax's message
timings are better if you bribe an hpal to give you autumn
makes flag come up at the start of platform and amp instead of a bit into each
Dont just randomly pop a bigger message in here while we are anticipating something grand

salhadar worked fine in hc as assa for me
A silly question... is it almost impossible to do a 15+ in time with the tank pulling only the boss without adds, right? Playing as Assassination.
i could maybe make this happen
I think I’m going to throw up
No
Still 5.9
🙁
for assa i dont think it matters yeah
It does
but for sub makes it a lot easier to get triple dance on amp inside flag
But it doesnt make a 15 impossible
What about a +16

….17?
You can both autumn my +17
15s are for losers i only do 10s

i just recall my cd's were delayed maybe 10 more seconds cause i f'ed something up. someone called out "we not more dp on this side we're too slow" i just slam a "i gotchu" over the mic and mob gets obliterated
even sending on cd flag comes up like 7-8 seconds into platform and amp
you still fit the whole thing
Side note but the only thing worse than a cavity is having to wake up early in the morning to go to dentist for the cavity
but you can do even more
also our tanks are dropping first tank soak literally on the boss
yeah i was 10secs passed that, i'd been on cd all the previous pulls, so they got worried it was so high
no need to go anywhere if your partner is a dentist 😄
My partner wants to be a cardiologist and I make sure to have her watch nervously as I chug my 3rd monster in a row

is there any viable build for M+ with kb, that doesn't lose that much dmg in AOE, but gains us more dmg in ST?
@grim jay you said no.. so that means you can do any keys without boss + add? its a dumb question ;x
Its pretty stupid to not do it if possible
But I doubt it will brick a 15
most of pug tank dont do this
Just for that
thats what tricks and poison knife are for
at least for dawn, streets where you need lots of ST damage
I experience the opposite actually, because there are many specs profiting off of it rn
I’m going to throw up again
Guys.. what’s the strongest rogue spec in execute phase?
depends where you are
And Sub has the highest burst.. right?
You just play bleed 
does my execute not work in india
4 set seems to be working fine in raid tonight, anyone having issues with it?
Correct
@timber pagoda is this possible?
No because its bloken
india and delves
Thank you 👍🏼
yea but you have tank dmg on bosses as bleed
There happens to be a guide you can pull talents from
No you dont
sudden demise is not the execute hes talking about
Unless you bady bad
is there a command that lists where the guide is?
like I do 2.5m dmg on bosses, while other classes do 3.5+
Yeah thats kinda what I said
Okay well 2.5 is atrocious even on bleed
Right now struggeling doing good logs on soulhunters as sub
Is assa any better on this boss?
If you have current gear, thats way low
is there a command that lists the commands
im bad at the game and i do more than that on bosses
yeah but its out of date
!commands
!command
hmmm

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/twisting-nether/izheem?zone=45&metric=dps here are my logs if someone can tell me if I am doing something wrong on ST bosses, where I do not have funnel
Most certainly Info you can get on warcraftlogs
Im not sponsored
Get bent and buttered Mr Australia man
especially gambit 2nd boss, dawn first and last boss
and he is already upside down
my biscuits sure are buttered now
same happens on 2nd boss in priory
are biscuits just scones?
i dunno it's some weird american thing where biscuits arent biscuits
I think my Assassin's done... single target damage in high keys is getting really rough... it's the end for my Assassin.
or maybe thats british
arent british biscuits cookies or some shit
Lets try the same thing as with the other guy
Whats your St at
On a pure St Boss
(im not asking about height or dicklength, dont add anything)

lmao what you mean?
You’re getting 1 cast of deathmark on a 3 minute boss
He says sin st sucks but its his St that sucks
Maybe its the same for you
Or you really just have bad tanks/setups
Just trying to figure out whats going on so we might help
not getting a deathmark in execute
only getting 1 cast
yeah
this is gonna be awful
4pc actually trolled me on our first loomithar kill


hell yea
mine is a better name
im doing what all guides say to do wowhead/maxroll/icy veins

so am I doing somehting wrong or what? I don't get it...every deathmark is + shiv and another shiv on the last 5-6s of dm
now that i got prism im ready to drop my nuts on araz tomorrow night
how many pulls into araz did y'all swap to sub?
@grim jay At the end of the day, I’m barely do 3-4m a boss fight without adds
immediately after heroic
0
because we arent there yet

i am planning on playing sub on it though yeah
60 and then I did 15 pulls on sub, saw p3, and swapped back to fatebound
i think it took me 1 on heroic to nope out
i feel like any deathstalker fight i'd rather just play sub
but there are adds in p3?
this is your single target damage on a boss fight
notice how that blob
ethical whispyr
is not in execute
and there is only 1 of it
not having deathmark on bosses
is just not gonna work
Thats actually quite fine
welcome to assa rogue
so I should use dm only when boss is under 35% hp? not on pull?

Didnt you miss an entire set of CDs
Because you just didnt press them
most of time when i use DM at start.. he come back at execute phase
save DM for next key
save dm for myself
if you press deathmark at the start of a pull and the boss is dead before it comes back up then your damage on the boss didnt matter anyway

you guys always overlap prism trinket?

How can you overlap prism
overlap?
i mean stack
when you have high stacks
dodge
stack it with what
roll?
Flap?
wrap ?
i think feral is the better rogue
overlap/dodgge antenna
Its alright to be wrong
its disgusting strong
true
its disgusting strong
nice try @shrewd night
Fixed that for you
atleast it hasnt 25 class features
like forget to logout before pull
and cant use coldblood
que?
need a checklist atm to avoid the bugs
Happens
just play double egg sack
im confused tho, how are we overlapping trinkets
He meant not grabbing the ball of antenna
If DM is about to come up
And take it later to ensure antenna is up on CDs aswell
ima be real, i dont have the trinket so i didnt know what it did, but also, im the kinda person who's just gonna fuckin stand still and let them hit me
jump 3 times
Do a barrel roll
click the images with traffic lights
Morning - can someone conclude in short what the % loss in these bugs are for purely mythic+ content with deathstalker hero talent?
I'm reading the bugs, but I feel a lot of it refers to either FB hero or open world/ raid wide issues. There are some mentions of splash nerfs, but just want to know what the overall % impact for mythic+ alone is?
Anyone, just a number is fine. Ty ty
just dont encounter a bug, 0%
Haha fair
i would rather ping him and ask him to type it in discord
The bugs can only hurt you if you let them
y just ping him 10 times
my dh must be bugged, it does less than my rogue
around 10% if you dont take momentum
Thank you
how much with momentum



what is the %age chance of encountering these bugs
same as encountering a ratatta in route 1
basically high
best is if you dont know about the bugs
then life is good
it only starts mattering when you learn about it
Dont believe in bugs, be like Zerocool
cause i swapped from sub to fatebound, didn't relog, didn't get bugged
did he literally said he does not believe the bugs?
there is a way to see all stats from raider io site?
no, but he dont care and still playin assas
Happends to me a few times during raid. I dont hear the coldblood sound when i use my cb+tech macro
there are no bugs this expansion. there are only spiders and they are arachnids
mate, he's been playing assa since dinosaurs, ofc he keeps playing assa
This is Crab xpac, idk what you want from me
the crab walks on all 螃蟹走在所有 no escape from prison 无法越狱 balls not being swallowed 睾丸不被吞 unite on the circle 团结在圈子上
did you guys send all gear and enchant towards sub now?
I use the exact same gear with 1 ring swap and swapping between crit and mastery cloak thingy
for sin/sub
y but thats not optimized
the bug only exists going from assi -> sub iirc
nah also other way around
Because its still a top spec
i do even another neck
rip, the pinned implied the otehr way
wowowowow
actually sub kinda cares about not having haste
I simmed both with "replace all enchants etc" and there is no gain anywhere
but also who cares as long as your neck and rings dont have haste on them
how much haste you want
2 set pieces have haste
yeah you just use tier chest
just wear 2pc and have the fight go for 1:30
Btw one of us might be fumbling something, I also watched the video late. Werent the 10% only for raid, considering the stuff that affects m+, Momentum aside, is basically - 4% on funnel and +2% on SB? 
Yes
1 more question
how do i make sure that i get the 5 combopoints free
after finisher
i catch my self often to use shadowstrike instead of finisher there because my brain is to slow
what i have to track to see tthat next one is free cps
You just get a weakaura to play a sound if the refund happens
🙁
sometimes my refunds are delayed
you're against kissing?
@quiet oar Might get jealous
ew
gives me old SBS delayed cp vibes
where's my kiss
come get your kiss
give me a bank all cp's if cast within 1 sec of a refund
Would be another way
Depending on if you prefer the sound or something visual
soun d is fine
much love
do you really play sub with tea instead of cb in keys now ?
no
yes

Yes
you guys play sub in keys
Yes
yes
so you tea in blades like on assa ?
You tea on dance
you tea on dance or whenever it auto procs
is it legit back?
also it doesnt really matter
play the cb build
play tea build
it all rounds down to the same number anyway
Sub in keys? Its insane rn
it was like season 2 DF or something right since it was the best spec
i love the dopamine window
is there a dm tracker 
xd
I mean sure
Sub is about sending everything, with EDM blaring, and hoping dance lasts enough to finish combo
i thought nimble flurry woulda fixed it tbh
yeah but the target count is only like 4+ to swap to BP
atleast for my noobish sublety angle
dont hold just send
do you macrod dance and symbols ?
you need to send before others ramped
no
my noob ass macros symbols to sectec
For a sec I thought I accidentally clicked on the wrong channel lol
assa is on vacation
sub mains gonna have a fit at me being unable to pull sectec / boost on demand coups
y i might unbind that too
tech and dance
sometimes its grief when it doesnt line up in mid of blades
wow, seems like a good reason to swap
i look at the amount of buttons sub needs to press and wanna commit alt f4
fact is
ah? sb double dip was always considered, as a baseline, what i meant is basically the spatter bug
I do like legit no ST dmg in keys as assas (despite doing very high overall) - its such a simple rotation that I feel like I'm missing something
xd
honeslty, i'm pretty sure sin presses moree
you not doing 8 mill single target ? on bleed build ?
i mean, spatter bug takes 10% of aoe overall damage, from the "baseline with sb double dip", also considering the spatter double dip removed
get outta here
no but im doing like 3m to everyone else's 5
i asked whips after seeing the video but maybe i missunderstood
bosses are actually so little of the key though, compared to trash
caustic not working with singular focus and the spatter fix combined are 10% total, its not 10% from bugs alone
they make up a decent amount of time i.e. gambit last boss
And Whispyr mentioned that at 4% in the Video, but the double dip of sb isnt intended tho
also from all the aoe it only really matters to kill the prio target in packs
padding can be done by eeryone
4% is the momentum bug, that you can recover just changing to follow the blood, isnt it?
I really could use some kisses ngl
yeah isnt intended, but the 10% is just from the last iteration
i cant believe bugs are costing me 69% of my damage
Bugs are making me heal the boss wtf 
only 69?
i'll have a bug on saturday that causes me to lose 100% dps
i swear i did 200k overall yesterday in a 10 flood
i was gonna make this exact joke
Perfect stats, never change them
Imagine not being locked in. You need to focus man.
🙁
But thats a flawed way of thinking. 4% is the bugs worth of a loss bcs it doesnt work with the funnel, while sb is an unintended gain and the caustic fix is caustic not having worked as it should before. So the actual bugs make you lose something around 2%+ damage, 4% if you factor out sb being bugged and take it as a baseline
You maybe lost 10% on that patch, but not due to new, now existing bugs only
cant wait for the aura buffs instead of bug fixes
To summarise:
"Bugs are huge, class unplayable", - Davyn, 2025
Wait
Thats the opposite

I dunno the quote says otherwise
Cant argue with that, because that kinda is how Social Media works
And Social Media is everything

I love misinformation
finally some answers
Hey guys, quick question: for Fatebound, I macro my Vanish with Kingsb. Should I place it before or after Kingsb in the macro?
Or actually doesn’t matter
ye, we lose arounr 4% of our intended damage, and we lost 10% of our damage from one week to the next

Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:
- Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up: - Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.
Fan of Knives with Darkest Night Up: - Only on 2+ targets, or without Vicious Venoms talented. This is also a very very minor optimization
The most important to remember is the generator rules, clear the witnesses and darkest night optimizations can be effectively ignored as they are not meaningful DPS improvements
but idk, intended damage is such a scuffy term
We are at roughly 98% of our "intended" damage rn ye
rogue bugs sometimes funny
Don't macro it to kingsbane, otherwise you'll send it at the 2 minute 15 kingsbane
was saying yesterday about how Subterfuge is a Stealth quality of life talent
Treat it as a 3 minute cooldown
because it grants you SUPER stealth
Ah right
legit dunno why subterfuge does that but
all upside I suppose
hope they never fix it
i macrod vanish to hearthstone
But do I use vanish before or after kingsbane😣 ?
after the pre-DM envenon or before the last cold blood envenom
any time between there
In your cooldown window, as long as it's before you've used your cold blood envenoms you're fine
for what
You've got a big window to use it

You’re using it to get an extra edge case flip
oh lol#
ur going to hell, buddy
It has no other interaction
Double jeopardy
Pls what
when in doubt, gamble
double jeopardy command
people keep asking forever
no one can grasp what vanish is for at all
i just press it for fun
works for me
bro is the vanish master

idk why you couldn't
Yes and you will get a beta ring as gift
unless im stoopid and there is some reason
kek
just askin, should i even bother rolling for omega?
go for it
if you wear both you gonna see the hypotenuse
Become loot goblin
no no, a streamer told me we are down 15% damage
50% damage
20%? Oh man!
If you wear both the jailer will come back
is fine when you raid with 19 ohter assa rogues
Lol
Vanishing On Fatebound
- you vanish for double jeopardy, a Fatebound talent
- this causes your next flip to flip an additional coin, and this coin can be an edge-case coin
- because of this, you want to vanish when you know the next flip is an edge-case flip
- edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.
- you should be vanishing every 3 minutes, lining up with every other deathmark, and this will also align with netherprism every 3 minutes for maximum burst
@dense cedar
Anything else
add a glorp pls
I can't believe Davyn said that rerolling outlaw was the play
davyn is playing feral
LMAO
feral pretty fun
I'm just saying if outlaw was dual pistols I'd play the shit outta that
Whispyr your guides made me top dps the 2nd boss in heroic yesterday 😭 my 🐐 thank you
Oh- :c
no fucking way
ty
agree with bel tho, maybe add a glorp
antennaglorp?
we back at overlapping ?
Perfect

But not that
glad you didnt saw my message
shit
To what he said
@red schooner time to explain yoiurself
imagine if instead of blade flurry, sub got RTB
trickster dawg
outlaw is complete shit
@grim jay can you check dm, please?
I explain nothing.
How do we use vanish in m+ ?
as / when needed to cover restealths
I played outlaw S1 and outlaw/sin S2, now just sin. I can't seem to wrap my head around sub
!geart
dance when sectec ready, sectec with a symbols buff active. make sure you have 2 dances for your 1:30 cd's
!gear
ez
It makes sense, I should practice on a dummy, but even keybinds just feel weird. My old brain
outlaw was fine though despite its stupid high apm
how can you play and understand outlaw but not Sub? 😭
To re rupture garrote all mobs or/and when we lose DS mark
i'd use it less to re rupture them
but yeah
if they are low hp, i wouldnt vanish for it
I know, I just need to spend the time. Two kids under 4 makes that hard
i play suboptimally, but it's still quite well with some macros, just depends how much you care about being optimal
My guild does aotc only, two nights a week for 2.5 hours. I like playing well, but extreme min/max isn't my goal
same tbh, though we've gone to 1 night now
so im raiding in a second guild, so 3 nights
Im new to the rogue, how is the m+ playstyle? do i bleed/poison much target as possible or i should stack buffs/debuffs on the same enemy like other classes?
shindig made a video about rogue assa, if you want to check it out
Whispyr already told you what you messed up on what you linked. Cant look into logs rn
Its an hour long holy shit
i believe the current goal on a pack, is 5 ruptures, all with garrote
Check whispyrs video about assassination, not any other 
I mean, do you want to learn rogue ?
Not like im studying for an exam tho
Play hunter then homie
idk, and hour to explain sin m+ is a bit long
he explain the build archetype from s2 and show example of opener ect..
very good ressources
you can just skip to bleed build tbh
still a well made video
-
as long as you have Indiscriminate carnage up and running, you spread your ruptures & garrots to as many targets as possible
-
then you slam envenoms with caustic on the prio target
-
if your ruptures are about to fall below 5 targets, you reapply it untill having the 20% agi buff again
-
you can shiv just before execute phase, you will be dealing a lot of bonus dmaages at this time (however never let both your shiv up, use them)
Whispyrs is longer but he has timestamps
Also 1.5x speed

So i don't need to consistenly switch targets and use rupture garrote since indiscriminate carnage is up
any way other than using vanish to apply carnage mid pack?
how do i track how many targets been ruptured?
he has a 3 hours video, i checked the short ones but i think they are still a bit deep in me, just leveled 72 on my assa first time and new to the wow overall
it is optimized to do so, you can use a maccro to mouse over your dots,
going out of stealth apply IC (vanish included), there is no other way to have it
I track my dots with plater's color, some people use a WA
you can mouseover garrote and rupture
I would recommand to always have at least 1 vanish up if your tank hate you and chainpull so you can still vanish to proc IC on a new pack
do we still play Death stalker on soulbinder?
Im Ok in m+ like 7M overall on 12 floodgate
But in raid im last in dps specially on mono by far. Like mates are at 5m and i struggle to keep 3m... Any advice ?
then learn it the hard way bro 😄
hc you can go fatebound with caustic, ad get nuked either way, and it will spread well on intermission, in mythic idk
send log 😄
how do you track with plater? think i never noticed
overall depends on route
yeah planning on learning with playthrough
Has anyone asked if we're still bugged today, or is it my turn?
and if you have funnel in boss fights
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
this is a script, for me it changes the plater color based on which dots I have on it, I play SP as well and I use it for both classes
Okay , appreciate for the infos

oh shit, i caused a meltdown in the DH channel
If your raid dont kill adds quick enough for you to do massive spatter dmg, then its their fault man 😂
Tho dragon dmg does seem a bit low 🤔
yeah i think forgot to switch fast enough on dragon.
is fok used with ctw and ds 2p + shiv up on 1 target? idk it the command is up to date, last thing about it from the pins was not sure yet
also on one timing KB and CB where not aligning its because of bug?
Yes, usually always bug when those 2 desync
this was mine last night and i played that fight a bit shit, didnt use CD's on platform phase
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/HtqWPLD46xGmbhkv?fight=48&type=damage-done
Happens very often...
nice good to compare. ty
i tried to look at whispyrs logs and he saved deathmark from like 2:30 to 4 min for luts phase
Hey all, so im new to rogue just curious how we use Vanish. My understanding is we kinda dot stuff up in the opener right? then do we use a vanish charge to reapply because of the talent carnage?
or do we basically start tab targetting everything to dot slowly..
depends on what you're doing. As in keys or raid?
keys yea im really struggling currently to maintain actaully good dmg feel pretty lost rn lmao
but always wanted to learn rogue so toughing it out 😂

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
Tbh there are different ways to do the boss, depending on if you have netherprism or not, and what is needed for raid
Our CDs do like up quiet well at 1:30 min, but timer is very tight if you dont wanna hold
I just try to really blast the dragon because its fun 😂
if you're on full bleed build which is the go to atm. Basically whenever you have indiscriminate carnnage up (from stealth where you can multi garrote and rupture), dot as a many targets as you can. You want to make sure you get the 20% agi buff from rupture. Then crimson tempest, and just slam envenoms into your Darkest night target.
20% agi buff?
I'll tend to vanish on a big pack if there is more mobs I want to dot up. I always try to save one charge of vanish incase the tank chain pulls and you can't re-stealth before he pulls another pack
yeah think it's 5+ targets?
yea 4% per one
youre right man :). blasting adds with full cds and prisma was fun too when raids holds cds
I understand the concept just feel like i must be doing something horribly wrong
my raids a bunch of padding bastards so they blow the platform adds up
as i feel like im doing zilch dmg haha
you got any logs to your latest keys?
dont think so ill check
Got this one i did last night pov my friends just carry my deadweight ass

my ST also feels absolutely god awful
yeah my st sucks too, just part of the build, why its nice playing with more ST classes
Yea i figure im probably doing something wrong ontop of it
as im very nice to this class but yea
didnt expect it to feel this bad even when im playing it scuffedly 😂
Going off of wowheads rotations guide, I'm alittle confused.
Lets take gambit.
Do I ambush, then use Garrote as CP builder while doing rupture every 5th CP.
And then where is Crimson tempest is the startup rotation?
Lastly, should I vanish before or after applying DM to the big dude?
Ct should be used when the mobs are stacked ideally
You can substitute the 2nd rupture onwards with ct
You only open with ambush if you don’t have darkest night to apply the mark
Avoid vanishing if you’ve just put out empowered garottes, if you’re talking mid combat I like to vanish > gar > dm
Im guessing right if the pack is living long enough we use a vanish charge to reapply more garrotes an ruptures as it would take the piss to apply it otherwise without carnage buff?
It also lets us maximise sudden demise damage
You don’t always need to commit a charge of vanish, you could just keep rupture on 2, ct up then slam envenom too - you have to make the call if it’s time to vanish or not
i'll try to remember just want to improve slightly i looked at sub but that has so many cd's my brain leaked out my ass
Aight, I'll try to keep that in mind.
I've gotten old and relied on hekili so trying to get it away again. 😛
whispyr has very intuitively explained gameplay video guides
if you prefer that medium over written guides
shindigg also has shorter, more consise guides if you don't want all the details
This is wrong fyi
Thanks!
Always open with Ambush as mark quicker better
if you do that you wont consume marks if you dont hit 7cp ruptures
and 2 gars are 6cps, which makes it awkward
is there like a % that mastery and crit soft cap at or something? Not sure how I should stat my items
im not sure ambushing instead of accelerating gars and rups is more worth
Don't worry about soft caps/Dr, just sim yourself
actually im wrong
Get some loot, sim it and see if the number goes up
you wont consume mark if untill you hit thje 7cp envenom
7cp rups doesnt consume dn idk what i was thinking
if you open ambush then immediately finish 3 times with rup ct rup you'll get some singular focus value but you lose an ic global to ambush
can you share your source for this logic?
like you open with ambush if you're concerned that you won't apply dn in a timely fashion (if the pack is massive / its low on duration)
the source is the big W in the sky himself
even then you probably should do it in the last subterfuge seconds
if bro has an optimisation im down to hear it, but I want a source and proper reasoning
whats this do
mr whispyr recommends using ambush from stealth always
even with darkest night up
because having mark is in fact quite nice
Evening guys, is there any threshold for haste in fatebound st build please?
No
Ye sorry late reply but the big dog is my sauce
But yeah if you ambush to get mark up you'll consume marks with rup rup CT and get back to DN for a big envenom
well if you have dn and open with ambush you wont consume mark stacks
no you wont, theres a bug preventing that if you have DN
but you are gaining all the value of the mark right away
and losing nothing
like the "using an ic global on ambush" argument doesnt really make any sense because how many pulls are you actually even remotely close to running out of ic before everything you could possibly need dotted is dotted
so im messing around on dummies is this kinda what the dmg breakdown should look like?
ive seen worse damage breakdowns for sure
i can make it look good on dummies when i get to m+ looks nothing like that 
exquisite name sir
Heya just wondering how much % mastery I should be aiming for ty
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
- Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

Does netherprism sim correctly? Was thinking since it stacks up to 18, it probably has lower value in sims since the sim starts at 0 stacks. But has higher value in dungeons because it has time to stack up and be used on big pulls for example?
Its just very strong despite not being available on pull
Takes 3 min to stack fully and you dont always do that anyways
With the optional possibility to hold for more stacks for dmg amps etc, so its just strong in general
If I just blindly follow that sim, I'd have lily + signet, which is super awkward no?
do you just have no passive trinkets?
yeah, that's what i was thinking. I can use signet on every vendetta until it has stacked up
I don't xd
Ye that sim is cursed
And if you do, only with prism on certain fights tbh
yea, was thinking of farming flood when i have time
So sim with any passive trinket aswell 😂
Anyone else been constantly checking Wowhead lately? I just want patch notes bliz >:(
I just wait for the pins
I got this smart auto WA from someone here.
It works with auto target+casting Tricks on tank out of m+.
As soon as the key is in, its a mouseover macro. Anyone have any idea of why?
Man that is a recipe for disaster if you play rogue
Expect nothing, so when you get nothing you wont get surprised
Not even just for rogue lol
I just want bug fixes for BMs 4set and a buff for it
Or something
If you want changes play mage, dk or pala 😂
The 4set for them is only a dps increase if like 2 pieces are mythic
True
Then again my fav mage spec is fire and that isn’t the fav spec of them that s season so far
But they will probably Uber buff fire at some point
i find it so weird that signet sims slightly higher than lily when mastery is the """'god stat""""
and i'm getting 300+- more mast from lily
For me it’s the opposite
first i was afraid of nerf, now im clearly left behind in m+ dps
!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.
Guys, could someone check my loggs? And give me an Overall feedback? Would like to get better on assa in raid..m+ is fine i guess
do we know what is the dps gain/loss if bugs are fixed?
I’m sorry mate, but when they “fix” a bug. New bugs are created 🙂
Need help guys (bleed build). Lets say a first pull in M+ has 12 - 14 mobs and we are lusting ofc. Do you spread all your garrotes and ruptures on all 14 mobs and then going for CT, Shiv and Caustic splatter? Because if i do it like that by the time i spread my bleeds DK is already on 20m dps and mobs are starting to die. M+ lvl 12
its nice to have 10-15 percent dps gone cause blizz is incompetent
ambush>garrote>garrote>rupture>rupture>garrrote>ambush>CT>shiv>aoe rotation with envenoms
Pretend its daggers on either side
You can fill some garrote if u have time to in carnage
Post it in here and someone can take a look
Doing that opening until all targets have bleeds on them?
No
main priority 5 targets with rupture and 5-8 with garrote
Alright thanks Loradien
at least 5 rupture, and up to 7-8
not more
but u always want keep 5 up
anyways is dynamic, if pull is gonna be long you want more and if not 5 is ok
so the rotation/opener/start should looks like that?
target1 - garrote-rupture -change target->
->target 2 - garrote-rupture ( at this point it should be 2 garrotes + 4+ ruprutes around the pack)
correct?
Hi, I can't go fully in depth due to being at work but I had a look through your most recent plexus kill - a few things as well as something to query -
-
Shiv usage. During desthmark, make sure your shivs are covering the full deathmark window instead of the full kingsbane window. Second, when you shivved for your next kingsbane you shivved at the start of the cast instead of the end.
-
You're delaying your cooldowns far more than you need to. You held your 45 second kingsbane until after the knockback, this meant that you had to hold your next deathmark until later and so on. This led to your usual 3 minute deathmark being delayed to 4 minutes.
-
just a query regarding netherprism use, I thought the play was to save it so it lines up with the vanish deathmark window but someone can probably clarify that better because I'm not sure
it's basically a 3m trinket
but for example on a 5m fight I personally think a better usage is pull, 1.5m, 4.5m
Yeah, thought so, I've not had one drop yet so I've not looked into it so I wanted to clarify
My solution is never having one drop 
Never have to learn how to use it if you never get one
Many thanks mate so overall „okish“ i guess but prism hold to vanish would not line perfectly i guess? Whats the important point with vanish?
!DJ
Vanishing On Fatebound 
- you vanish for double jeopardy, a Fatebound talent
- this causes your next flip to flip an additional coin, and this coin can be an edge-case coin
- because of this, you want to vanish when you know the next flip is an edge-case flip
- edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.
- you should be vanishing every 3 minutes, lining up with every other deathmark, and this will also align with netherprism every 3 minutes for maximum burst
This goes hard 
Yeah, there wasn't a whole lot I could see that was wrong, mostly just cooldown usage. As I said I didn't go fully in depth due to being at work but you're on the right path!
Just tweak your netherprism timings as well
all hail our new moth glorp overlords 
Hey guys! new to rogue since season start. feeling quite comfortable on m+ aoe situations and raid ST situations, but I lose a LOT of dps when fighting ST bosses in M+ aoe spec. Is that just normal? feel like everyone outdps me for at least 60-70%. Overall I'm usually on about 6-7 millions depending on the pulls ofc, but for bosses I freeze at like 2.5m
nope, target1 - ambush - garrote (you can change target if you want for optimization but no needed) - garrote - rupture - rupture - garrote - ambush - CT - FK - envenom etc. Priority is 5 targets with rupture and 5 with garrote, up to 7-8 depends of the pull long. And shiv when is up after bleeds applied
is there any build for assa fatebound for m+ existing? or is it complete troll
fair enough, I just didn't expect this to be a notable gain atm with singular focus trolling us
This sim looks weird as well no ? I sim using a floodgate type dungeon route as assa, with droptimizer raid myth items upgraded to 723
people are saying that prism is broken but it never simmed right for me
hm, so this is waht im curious about. i should dps one traget only spamming garrote/ruptrue on it, and not to change targets ( this was also described in gudes, but i wasnt sure that rouge ruprure spread will dot 5+ targets if ill spam it in one target
whens best to use tempered pot?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
the 723 trinket you have is a sim bait so it sims higher than what it is hence the 723 prism sims lower
Why would it be simbait
i think prism sims lower also bc its not assuming realistic stacks
could be wrong unsure
Just bind it to dm
is anyone struggling to do good damage in halls of atonement?

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
is unyelding ok to macro with death mark? is it only a ST trinket or good overall?
yeah wonder why as well
it maybe assumes that all mobs are packed
Yes the bleed build has very bad single target DPS
We dont sim dungeon routes for gearing 
Yes you are
hey guys can you recomend a good assa streamer/youtuber to watch m+ pls?
Casualaddict streams sin sometimes
2.5m is pretty low
Definitely room for improvement
