Is this a good time to
!causticbug
Caustic is not bugged. The Green Puddle on the ground is Poison Bomb, not Caustic Spatter. You are either:
- Not using Deadly/Amplifying poison (or its not applied to your target)
- Not using Rupture on your target
- Not using Mutilate/Ambush if the above two are applied
!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

blessed command
The "caustic bug" is literally people refusing to read the talent.

need one more 14 for 3k

You need some bitches (gl gamer)
Why doesnt any WA track SCENT?
actually looking at this math
my score seems low? for the timers
think my streets and halls 12s were barely on time
so they might be griefing the numbers slightly
how much score is 1 level higher worth?
15
wait are we bugged
hmm
depending if u do the exact time
so if u do a 12 at 30min
and a 13 at 30min
you get excactly 15
the basis is 15 per level
probably slightly less usually since you're gonna have a relatively worse timer in a higher key
w/e just gotta do more 13s
i missed the garf train, but enjoy this anyway

Hello! I have a question about vanish and in aoe situations. I see a lot of rogues including casual vanishing very early on in their first pull - usually immediately after death mark and shiv has been applied. Is this to make use of the master assassin talent? So shiv is benefiting crit chance on all 7 targets?
I'm holding vanish at the moment until I need to reapply garrotes, so around 11 seconds into my pack, but I see a lot of rogues vanishing around 7-8 seconds into the pull. Should I be using vanish much earlier in the pull to maximise damage?
Are there any other classes like fuuu's simulation sheet?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
wrong place to ask
why would we know what other classes do
ask in their discords
its to regain master assassin
that's it
if u want that for the damage u can do that
but runs the risk with pug tanks of getting in sticky spots

just don't do this
that would be my first choice yes
there u go
iron wire sits in a super dogshit spot
I see it. It's a niche case where I think the mass silence can carry pug keys
Blind is good in a pinch too
make the thing just not being able to act for 8 seconds
How do I deal dmg on this class? I am maintaining dots on everyone but I always deal lowest in lobby by ALOT, I am really struggling :/
can you share your talent build
Post logs. Caustic spatter is a large source of damage so there’s one thing to check
not pressing shiv, not sending cds
im really thinking about halls of atonement only where the stops arent coordinated and there are always more bolts than stops
feint and pray imo
sorry, whats caustic splatter? I am very new
I feel like this is easier solved by coordinating kicks better. I use a macro that focuses and marks a target and puts my symbol in /say
please post your talent setup
A talent. Read it and all your talents
I started playing like 3days ago, and am just stuck at 1600 in 2v2 now, cant win anymore, also how do I post logs?
Trolled
nw
I drop MA. Damage loss but it's the one to swap if you really want IW
btw, both weeks i had starlight fragments from weekly quests in dornogal
where to get again...?
i dont have them anymore there
i still didnt recieve one fragment this week
4/5
did you grab the titan shard quest?
Weekly activities award them
i did everything though, delves/heroic raid/mythic+
still nothing
ugh, i think that quest is bricked
u have to do
or im too dumb
Those aren’t weekly activities
archives quest
gotta do archives this week i believe
im confused thought i have no indications anywhere
i evne googled it, says i have to be on one of the npcs
but that npc doesnt have anything for me
what stage of the quest are yo u on?
The weekly quests by the inn in dornogal. Titan shards is one of them this week

Didn't know that shit was gated by the campaign 
embassies and envoys
like legit, you do it once on the account and never tink about it again
how long is it
Cadizz what were u doing when u started the expac?

i bought the heroic boost lmao
the heroic edition *
with the 70 boost
ugh , i did that knife edge thing
and then i stopped
but i wanted to do this quest i promise
Sub
im bad with sub
HARD
ye
Time to git gud
but when i go out it dissapears
cant git gud in midraid
Yeah practice outside of raid obviously
cleave is for araz

that marker is just saying its within the city
not inside the council hall
how long is this even
its about 400 hours
In quest jail forever

it usually takes someone 7 months to finish the campaign
it took me 10 months
look at Mr.Speedrun over there
xd
i completed it in 2mins
y'all scared me
but there's more requirments
i need repu 4 on few zones
yeha, that rep is normaly gained trought the mainstory part of the expansion when you start
starting later can make stuff weird if you skipped it
wait i do have all 4 and above
guys how much sims u gettign with somewhat bis trinkets at 707 ilvl +-?¿ i feel like im doing my rotation correctly but im gettign trashed by other classes
can go cleave or mythic+ build even
Lorrgs.io read it. Or read wowhead guide
both work
Someone can share this deathstalker wa ? please 
sim doesnt mean you play properly
but like, 5m sim at 707
Sharing logs is the best way to find out what you’re doing wrong
all i want are some datapoints to see if my gear is fine

The buttons you press are much more likely to be the issue
help me
tries to help
not like that

link a log
Saying it doesn’t mean you do that in reality
i wish i had some lol but i dont think i logged naything
you're not going to accurately recount an entire pull
ok ill log something and come back
well then we can't really help you beyond general advice
i wish i could get better without external tools tbh
people will review a log tho
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but for Fatebound, is it Shiv then D, or DM then Shiv? As wowhead and Method guides are both different
u can use this to look at ur rotation ( imo its alot more intuitive to use than the log UI )
ill take alook
but you'll need a log to put it in

seems like logs are the only way to go
Well yes that’s how we know what you pressed objectively
you can get better without external tools, it will just take a lot longer and progress will be unreliable
they are super helpful and alotta people here are ( usually ) very knowledgeable on rogue as it is a pretty hard spec to master
yeah it's kind of like trying to go on a fat loss diet without tracking calories
you can do it, but you're gonna be a lot more consistent if you actually measure things

goes on someone else
You can vanish, and it goes to someone else. but you do can cloak it
juset press it in the last second
guess im cooking
anyone know how to sim the boe rings without having them? gear compare doesnt allow you to add the stats is there another way?
Thank you!!
top gear maybe
Top gear and add it manually
In the item search feature
people out here actually buying those
all it does is make the golden number smaller
no point
easy 1m+ gold if you get one
why does buying a ring make you an idiot?
Wake me up when the mythic ones are out. I know full 1 secondary is gonna go for gold cap for sure
yeah mythic rings are gonna be bananas
minimal gains
whats the off hand enchant for assa?
you can sim to find the best enchants for you
what muffin said
yeah fair enough thanks
wowanalyzer is not updated for assassination T_T
i don't think it's updated for anyone but the basic suggestions aren't terrible
and since you have a log you can link it here for more in depth analysis
im doing nexus king ill try to get a log there
man kyveza is a bugfest with those clones
Idk what people are doing on nexus hc
stare right in the fuckin thing's eyes and still die
which dungeons are you guys swapping in ironwire for lightweight shiv?
legit not running iw anywhre
what if i still dont have 4p...
dropping shiv is psychotic
do u have 2?
yee
2p buffs shiv
i know, just wasnt sure if caster heavy dungeons might be worth taking for utility. some pugs refuse to kick
i mean it doesn't matter at all - 4pc is not relevant. it's always a dps loss. nobody is going to be like "wow this rogue was lowest dps but he silenced stuff let's invite them back"
better approach is to use a macro to mark targets and kick them so people don't overlap

People dont learn until they die for it
real
you have feint and cloak too
most awkward moment is when you watch a fotm warrior tank die to a cast
that you saw him have reflect off cd
Really trying to get rid of Hekili:
Can something take a sneak peak and tell me how much I am doing wrong?
Just a quick normal run.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/magtheridon/skyligh?difficulty=3
to start you didn't envenom before your opening cds
you dont have envenom until 9.4s into the pull
Im not super into logs, so thanks for sowing me!
this is bad
quick question sang blades in m+ at a boss. do i still stay above 50% energy or only in aoe situations?
No just ignore that
On Dimensius you didn't shiv your opener and used poisoned knife? should just take that off your bars
i'd strongly recommend reviewing the opener and ST priority list
because a lot of this is just wrong
and if this is what hekili is telling you to do
yes
then you will just have to relearn
It is, so thanks! I havent played my rogue since b4 legion, so it is gonna be a long journey relearning. 🙂
the wowhead guide is very detailed
i strongly recommend it
it says councils guile is best enchant but topgear is saying stonebound artistry
Thanks @coral ibex
do you guys have WA for tracking nether prism stacks?
Guides don’t know what you’re wearing. Sims give you the most accurate answer for your gear
okok gotcha
make an aura with trigger 1239675 which is the Latent Energy buff that stacks up over time
so i dont look at my 34095843905 buffs
suppose in keys seeing it has purpose
suppose, dont know
in a raid ur just gonna send it at specific times always
totally
!prism
we dont have this
general use, just use it with vanish
I thought there was something for this
im in raid rn for example
so on vanish?
quick question, is it normal to be energy starved and usually go on 2-3 dead seconds? like thats the usual thing ?
gotcha
not dead second but ok
!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.
!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.
just won the boots and trinket from raid
ok thx
whats the dealio with trinket
it just felt bad
I only got normal boots
I think i burned my rng for the week winning boots on 2 characters
gonna have a thicc socket in my reset vault

Hit the big add
spatter the little shits
gg
Idk rogue kinda fucks on nexus

Play FB with spatter and you go crazy in that phase
Make sure you have KB ready for it too but you shouldn’t really have to plan. Cooldowns just line up
Pretty sure caustic wasnt bugged
If a tank is chain pulling because of brand of ire for most of the dungeon, what are my options. The whole staying behind to enter stealth doesn’t always seem to work (admittedly for me it never seems to work)
How far away do I need to be from the next pack?
I just use vanish
I mean your tank should give 1-2 gcds to drop combat
Ya but that feels so bad to do
brand of ire doesnt start falling off
You have two charges and you’re probably not using it twice by the time you need it again
until 4+ seconds
I literally have brand on my tank alt
idk why tank players kind of pepega
!gear
? thats literally the usage of vanish
How do you fellas open on Soul Hunters?
”my MA crit though”

yo guys for reclear farm, i wanna chill and macro nether to dm, how much of a loss am I taking (can use lily instead if its v bad)

we have some really fast killtimes too so id pref lily for dmg on pull too
what was it macro'd to before
you are now manually breathing
Need that
Hydra
megaera is tht u?
i got so distracted by the coin count that i delayed my kingsbane by like 15 sec :))))

for mythic raid, are we still playing assass or sub?
both
poisons are nature damage
Anything that is not physical is magical
ancient proverb
how do u do the fast opener on saladbar to get cds back at 3 mins
I'm a heroic raider rn..
Yeah
Yeah thats what i meant
They just line up
Tell bro to get out of the kitchen
it's the highest assa log on heroic saladbar..
Fatebound hybrid
Doesn’t seem like they have shiv macroed to tea
i don't think you need to have them macroed for fatebound
Local discord user learns you can rank 1 heroic playing wrong
as long as you dont comically fuck your entire rotation
Turns out you can make a couple 0.5% misses when spec rng is 14%
No rupture either
wdym i intentionally willed my enchants proccing during the burn
Looks like a spatter angle on the platform, lots of low/dead dps
totally skill related
Looking at the log
idk, it didn't seem magical when she said she broke up with me
psure high assa logs after week 1 on bosses you can spatter
benefit from having buyers
for more mob/boss hp
v true xiani
pacemaker with Netherprism or Lily?
If you just wanna macro and forget, Lily
If you’re gonna hold prism for amps and stuff, then prism
Idk then my sim, prism gaps lily
but i see that most of ppl are playing prism
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yea
hes not asking about prism
hes asking about forge
both are good for assa, take the one that sims better
Oops just saw lily
currently on frac, when the desyncsetbug happens
do i need to reload the game or so?
cuz i have a 704 forge and was wondering if i should farm lilly
ah arl
(i took a myth lily in vault with a 704 forge)
oh shit
i also want prism
but idk if prism is just worse than forge or if its situation between fatebound and deathstalker
there's not much to waffle about. just sim it
ik wowhead says forge is bad with fatebound and someone in here was talking about how prism was just better for both
i thought ur name was waffle at first and i was like lol nice pun but its muffin
there isn't much to muffin about either 
you definitely want something other than a forge trinket to play fatebound yes
you should go get a lily idk why people are saying otherwise
forge is great for deathstalker but as fatebound its basically a 2m cd you can only use every 3m
lily works for both and it's easy enough to farm, seems like an easy w
hey guys are we bugged

This joke becomes less funny when there are 10 people genuinely asking every day
at least you also like Go
Blizzard could reduce it by fixing hte bugs
ive heard @balmy condor has access to the blizzard rogue jira board and knows exactly what they're doing
Yeah but the last time they did that they added more bugs
max does often have the worst rogue people on to talk about rogue
Mb
Nah it was shindig himself on alt account to get out of future work
i got the netherprism!
how do i use it? use on cd, or only on cooldowns?
I was the fly on the wall when the fabled rogue dev that definitely exists and isn’t just a team of class designers said that rogue bugs are 9 story points
It was the usual pre-raid class yap
yea max is doing an unban stream
hes doing unban requests today but this presumably happened during the tier list
literally 2 mins ago
whats that in t shirt sizes? can we bubble that up into the next sprint and make our OKRs
ye
its like the only time i watch max outside of rwf lmao
always funny content
Did that guy get unbanned
if you get double cdr on deathmark, are you supposed to not send 2nd kingsbane or just delay 2nd dm so it syncs up again?
why is this shiv being delayed?
align to your 90s trinket
you always want to press DM with your trinket
not everyone plays optimally.
and if this is a solo kingsbane
this is deathstalker build on soulbinder top parse
i cant see if its DS or FB
Holy shit. 9 points that's a heavy dev lift.
well he use it correctly
What exactly is 9 story points lol
Measure of effort
we used to shiv last 8 seconds of kingsbane what changed?
Your shiv is 11 seconds in DS
so you do the last 11 seconds
o fml sweet thx
Most devs use points to score difficulty or length of work.

story is unclear to dev team, rework the ticket please

how does the rotation change with netherprism trinket? we use it at second deathmark? coz i saw top parses using it immediately
i believe it goes with 1st DM, all use trinks do pretty much
sorry to be precise i mean fatebound ST, but if its same for both then G
and on the pic it's forgeweaver
you use it every 3 minutes
with vanish
yeah
is blizz never gonna fix our aoe dps :<
nope, play ret (hell no)
In m+ with bleed build, do i try to stay above 50% energy for sang blades? Feels like my single target is lacking.
No
But also it be like that
so, not on the first DM if every 3 min?
Our m+ build has no ST
paid actors more like
dude HI loved the video
but you said those damn bugs take away 10% of our aoe damage ? :<
You can cast it on your first dm, it just won’t do anything
im debating with the creator omfg, smited
or was it 10-15%
It depends what you think of as “taking away”

do you run assasination for M+ or did you switch to sub
Turns out -10% of 10 billion is still 9 billion and 9 billion is still a lot
CLASSIC
jaw DROPPED

Thanks for the memes. lol
can we pin this

Anyone already replaced DISC belt? My 723 BiS only sims 0.2% better 😐
Unfortunately not yet.
thats just how belts be dawg

Thank you to Archon and @balmy condor once again for helping me kill another boss! Huge W to all the uncs!
Caustic nerf was like 4-5%, but that’s intended nerf
Momentum of despair is technically -6% but you take follow the blood and get 5% back, so like… 1? I guess?
Singular focus bug is like 3-5% depending on dungeon and pull and stuff
Sanguine blades is doing more than intended currently, so that’s 2% more than we should have
So depending on how you slice that up and add up your numbers, you can realistically argue that we’re down like 4-5%, or you can be a tank content creator and make the argument (not really) that we’re down like 15% (thanks for the insane senseless dooming kira, big fan of just spouting random numbers)
Yeah we need aoe buffs

we arent ret paladins you dont want to be a ret paladin
Glad to hear it
if i shadowstep on fractilius when i have to break a wall
does the wall break even if i don't hit it ?
the move is kinda weird, it's like i get grab by the boss instead of "teleport" to the boss
real, buff the shiv bonus to 100%
How much respect are you willing to lose to play a Paladin?
nope, wall doesnt brake
never shadowstep on this boss
Smh my hips you didn't watch the video
ok so its actually 4-5
what if we did the paladint hing

That warrior PUMPS lol
Would love to see where i can improve was pretty disappointed for a dummy fight with like almost zero downtime
It seems solid from what I can see. Only slight issue is you got hit by the cooldown reduction bug and sent a kingsbane without coldblood. Not sure how much of a loss that is.
Is it better to hold?
Let's gooo aotc ;D
One thing I'd maybe recommend trying, you're running the nethercrystal, on this fight it might be better for you to send it at 1:30 and 4:30, it isn't a long fight and having it up during execute is nice.
As far as I'm aware, holding is better.
Like, kill time is 5:14, having a fully charged netherprism at 4:30 with your cooldowns in zoldycks range is pretty nice.
So may be worth considering
Godamn bugs!
There actually aren't any bugs surpisingly
Ok well the 4pc is bugged to hell but that's MUCH MUCH worse for bm
Did this on loomithar , was planning to do it aswell but the bugged cd threw me off
Yeah, it throws me as well. It doubly threw me that one pull where I just didn't get cooldown reduction
OKAY GAME, THANKS

hi guys i have a question are my stats ok ?
I wanna know if i am going in a good direction or not
!stats
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
don't overindex on it.
!tea
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

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.

I wouldn't think too much of it, though Bleed spec in M+ does value Haste a bit
i am usually playing m+ and kinda want to grind it a bit. But i have no luck on items this season so far and the best that i could do is this.
all of the crafter gear need to be upgrated as well but no crests so far
as build i am playing this
do the sims reflect the current bugs?
a bit too much crit
If the bug is present in spell data and is datamined
Then yes
If it’s weird bullshit like press shiv, momentum of despair turns off
Then no
better to focus next on mastery+versa?
hmm understandable
!gear
I only knew this because of Whispyr's video
i'm feeling extra dumb today. (and am new to the spec). deathmark is 2 minutes, vanish is 2 minutes, kingsbane is 45 seconds - why do we say every 3 minutes on the dot for the trinket?
Deathmark is 1:30 on fatebound
read cringebound 4set
fuck meeeeeeeeeee that's what I get for reading wowhead tooltips instead of in game ones. thank you
Weird, mouseover on my action bar says 2 minutes - talent mouseover says 1.5 minutes.
Thank you again 
It reduces the cooldown while you have lucky coin active rather than some other tier sets that just flat out reduce the cd while the tier is equipped
So yeah just reading your ability tool tip will bait you
Another W for blizzard
any macro people have a mouseover rupture macro they use and can share
not sure if this works how i want it or not
#showtooltip Rupture
/cast [@mouseover, exists][@target, exists] Rupture
it gets reduced, its a 2 minute until our 4 set activates in combat
Yeah - I literally just realized that. Thank you.
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Rupture
If you're not moused over anything it goes to your target anyway.
thanks big dawg
they fix Assa before weekend 
Is assa broke rn?
Hi guys, I'm using this 2 trinket (hero level) for m+.
Raid trinkets are really better of this combo?
so do we just lose our mark constantly on eco 2nd boss when they phase? when they split or combine i lose my mark
ye.. you need to either have mobs around or save darkest night when he phases
they have 3 npc ids in that fight
You still lose it when he dismounts and the charges appear, so you should keep darkest night for that

Fok Conditions Post-Buff
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
When you can hit both of them at the same time, apply it to the lizard
Bleed M+ takes follow the blood atm, so fok at 4+ targets?
!fok no

Is assa broke? I’m doing like 1-1.5m dps less on keys from last week and I don’t think anything I’m doing is different. It’s really frustrating me
I dont get the reasoning, following that post it would start at baseline 3, get 1 from blindside, and since i dont have momentum of despair, it stays at 4?
I haven’t logged anything. I’ll have to log and submit later
they wont fix us right? 😄
I keep fok'ing at 3 targets and it just feels ass, but maybe my crit is just giga low
but I feel starved for cp a lot doing that
Someone can recommend me any good nameplates for assa? c:
Secondary stats have a soft cap?

No. Just sim yourself.
can anyone else shed some light on this? I genuinely dont get the 3 target part if the advertised bleed build plays follow the blood instead of momentum of despair
healing stream totem from shaman takes out of stealth, great design xd
is there a picture how the damage profile looks with the bleed build in m+. cause i think i have not enough rupture damage
just go check logs
yes
np
You mean in the bot command?
You still have thrown precision
'cause that just hasn't been updated to reflect the fact that Momentum is bugged rn I'm pretty sure
please read the linked screenshot from the guide - "Both... talented"
just having thrown precision should not be enough to reduce the target count by 1 by that logic
bot command and wowhead guide - both still seem to assume we talent moment of despair in the "standard" bleed build
Okay so Fok on 4 then if you want
I can never fok if I dont want to, but I'm here to understand and improve
what kind of answer is that, just not helpful
lets goooo
The answer is if you’re talented in 1/2 you could Fok on 3 or 4 and it’s not gonna make or break your damage.
maybe a dumb question, but does mastery increase Envenom burst damage?
Dunno bro, I selected Bleed build in the Wowhead guide, and it says "Use Fan of Knives on 3+ targets", where 3+ means 4 and above
sooo
Also like Tony said, FoK on 3, or 4, or anything above, won't make that big of a difference
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m not in enough 3 mob pulls to notice if I should mut or fok
Yea and I went ahead and actually read what it says underneath, and realized that this recommendation most likely stems from the fact that the bleed build used to take momentum of despair, but since that is bugged right now, even the recommended build now takes follow the blood.
But asking questions here often leads to these weird interactions where people either just spam "read the pins" (even if the person did and asks a question that builds on those) or "it doesnt matter".
If you don't actually know the answer, you don't have to answer, you know?
I feel cp starved with fok at 3 targets, that's why I even came here to ask

Yes
The funny thing is im pretty sure timestrike was % based
The cp lackage is actually due to lack of crit hits
fok only generates 1 point natty but there is a talent that gives you one extra point per crit hit
yea, but momentum of despair would give crit to fok
hence my question
Momentum of despair currently does nothing
Unironically nothing
INDEED, hence my questioooooooon

I despair over despair
Prolly 4t with blood
pls read the bot command
How often are you in 3 target pulls
irrelevant
Im guesstimating
fok on 3.5 targets
It’s not
it is, what is wrong with you and your need to keep answering with this rage bait
Lmao I’m not rage baiting you
Just for me personally without despair I reckon fok at 4t
Do we hold Lily to line up with Deathmark? Also sims say Lily plus the passive trinket from Dawnbreaker is break even or a small downgrade (.5%) from current (Lily plus Idol) and I'm considering just taking the hit for not to not run double on use
Since mut is 2 hits and both can crit, potentially 4 cp, 3 on average, instead of foks 1 point with potential for more
yea same, but guide and bot command says otherwise or contradicting info, thats why im asking
But thats just me guesstimating
yes hold lily
would you take the hit in the short term just to not run double-use? I feel like idol is super annoying to use optimally anyway
Yeah i would. Fuck off the 2 on-use just for QoL
Also idol is just shit anyway
2 on use if it were like lily and prism. Fine. But any combo involving idol is bad

anyone able to help me figure out why its not working?
cause i noticed it wasnt working in a dungeon i just did and when i use the keybind im using for the macro, my cursor gets highlighted in grey but wont let me use it on the tank in my party
your tank probably had the item that makes him immune to all those spells
forgot the name
Neuro something
@hexed harbor link the ToT weakaura u have
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
its the smart misdirect one, from this discord
ok so i see that it works in a normal dungeon with the tank, but im not sure it worked at all in the mythic i just did
idk ill have to mess around with it
!up
uhh its like a 5min quest in tanaris or something
where is tanaris again 😭
ah thanks
How many targets do I fok on with follow the blood m+ master
that one is too hard
Tfw did the rep buff and forgot to turn in for the 3% dam 
Sorry for rage bating you

Ahh were fucked
Guess ill go sub then seems outlaw bit behind
!kriss
we’re literally fine
Nothing wrong with us, just bugs. Definitely playable still
i noticed the desynch and SD not working properly and thought i just didnt get it lol
does the bug make sin unplayable? like should i just play sub for now
No its still playable and enjoyable
Sin is fine with the bug, it’s just annoying
Just have to hold

Does follow the blood change the Fok rules
Hey guys, trying to start this season as rogue, but I find it hard... what am I doing wrong on first boss for instance ? Rotation is bad ? I think I do have too much haste... if u can give me some advice I'd appreciate 🙂
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wpMRdAfh39XQT8zm?fight=3&type=damage-done&source=16
- probably don't want to use potion right away - 7s wasted before DM was used
- performance is not going to be related to stats
- rotation seems ok from what i saw
there does seem to be a lot of that without reapplying rupture and garrote
this seems like an overcap
no way 6 mutilates isn't enough combo points for envenom
Just not maximising KB window
hum yeah ok I may have panic on that 😄
you could macro Cold Blood with Kingsbane - seems you are pressing them separately
not a huge deal though
it is one less button to press
Mutilate being your #2 damage is very telling youre using it far too much
this is the damage breakdown from my last Plexus Sentinel heroic kill
just so you can see what it should look like
this is mine
Low rupture uptime too
yeah if you are running charged bolts on the DISC belt definitely fix that
i cast more envenom than you but you're still far away from me on 178m vs 241m damage on it
I think i found another bug with Assa lmao that isnt mentioned in pins 
If you leave stealth with master assasin talented you get the buff for the full duration.
If you reenter and leave stealth again while the buff is still running out it doesnt reset the duration like it does with improved garrote or indiscriminate carnage.
Holy beans where is your KB damage
You are probably missing envenom clippings because of mut spam
that bug aint new
Why isnt it added to the endless list then ?
its a feature
hum ok I see... I think I'm spamming too much you're right
