wanted to play my Undead or Tauren but orc won me

velvet cairn
#

most likely yes

ebon prism
#

In a pull of 10+, is priority to keep at least 5+ ruptures up, CT up, caustic spatter up, and then just fok into envenoms into spatter target for highest overall damage? How much do the garrotes contribute?

lyric gate
#

just watch whispyrs video

#

bro took 2 hours to explain it for everybody

#

respec tthe hustle

velvet cairn
ebon prism
#

Yeah I do that. Do around 15m on decent sized pulls with DM up

velvet cairn
#

then if u can dot the rest into cds imo

ebon prism
#

Just after scent of blood into CT and spatter, I deathmark shiv and spam fok envenoms into it. After my 2nd shiv and vanishing to reapply imp garrote, what is higher priority? Just keep going with fok envenoms and maintenance, or is it better to rupture more targets since deathmark and shivs are done?

grim jay
#

actually no

#

you dont change ANYTHING about the dslice setting

#

you just let it run at the standard 6 min

2min vs 1.5min cd timers

royal lantern
# clever sparrow may i ask why?

prism is 90sec

forge is 2min

2min trinkets tend to be stronger because they have higher cd, because thats how cds and strenght of effects work

distant plinth
#

so you will always get a amp on all cd windows with 1.5m

clever sparrow
#

since you just use it with dm

royal lantern
#

prism needs to stack

clever sparrow
royal lantern
#

if you use prism every 2min, its weaker then just using forge

#

aka for 2min its better

clever sparrow
#

make sense

royal lantern
#

we dont even use prism as a 90sec trinket and instead as a 3min trinket because of its stack building on fatebound

#

(in the end you just macro the trinket anyway kekw)

grim jay
#

the reason prism is better than lily for example is bcs mainstat onuse vs master onuse

#

araz is mainstat aswell

#

and crit is good too as a static stat

royal lantern
#

just crit bozo

#

why increase crit %

#

get that 40k mastery, sit at 8% crit and just highroll those crits

grim jay
#

but the magical crit number

clever sparrow
#

sitting at 27k mastery

Hello everyone,
do you have any advice to improve my pooling behavior? i often press anything casually ou oh habit and just started to really look at my energy bar. any advice will help!

prisma monolithBOT
#
  • Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
  • Only one pooling condition exists (pool around 4 seconds before non-deathmark kingsbanes until 150ish energy). This is worth 0.3%
  • Other optimizations are simply not impactful enough to show a benefit in sims, but pooling before quick-dying add spawns could in theory be a practical gain to pad.

#

hi guys, is it normal that i have energy issues in mono ?

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

Okay, just making sure. Felt gas lit by it lol cause everything i read says crit and mallet recommends crit.

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

was selling some keys back then as well can confirm

in shadowlands season 2 i sold some high keys, getting like 500k per key with my team and such

its the alternative in case u cant sell/push high keys

alternatively boost raids first month

make like 500k each week per char

#

then afk rest of patch

#

also true

subtle tundra
#

i remember not being able to boost

#

week 2-3

#

cause i had shit logs

#

cause thats what happens when you go for wr 20-30

and you have to do splits and not upgrade your character

i had grey logs on my sub tier,all the way,still got traded my share on first 4 mythic boost

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.

/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

#

!chainpull

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

I did a sim for ST. why does it use fok in rotation"

main bridge

!fok

prisma monolithBOT

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

Hey Peeps. What build are most of you using for AOE raid bosses like Forgeweaver and Soulbinder? The ST FB build with caustic spatter or DS with crimson tempest?

theyve been bugged since wrath and they didnt even exist back then

gray raven
#

Oh yeah

#

That does not bode well

umbral sigil
#

at least theyre (mostly)always decent

#

dont ask the frost mages

clever sparrow
#

which spec has highest funnel dps rn?

#

is it sin?

umbral sigil
#

no shot

buoyant herald
#

Arcane

#

Maybe dh

gray raven
#

aren’t mages always good? They are the main characters

buoyant herald
#

It wasn’t sin even before the fixes

clever sparrow
buoyant herald
#

Sin just did stupid aoe as well

clever sparrow
#

does he looks like a main character on wheel chair?

umbral sigil
#

mage always ahve A spec thats good

gray raven
#

I bet you guys all play sitting down

umbral sigil
#

and by good i mean not middle to bottom

#

i only play while squat PRing

gray raven
#

Upward squat thrust with each envenom

buoyant herald
#

And you have to add weight every time tier set bugs

humble cradle
#

Did assa just catch a nerf?

umbral sigil
#

Id look like ronnie coleman by the end of this

buoyant herald
humble cradle
buoyant herald
#

Yeah

gray raven
#

Oh we are “fixed”

buoyant herald
#

Nerf via fixing an unintended interaction

normal mist
#

fixed but backwards

humble cradle
#

Some of the comments people were making had me thinking we actually got nerfed

buoyant herald
#

That was in our favour

#

I mean it is a nerf

#

But the intention wasn’t “let’s make sin weaker”

humble cradle
#

If I remember correctly from whyspers last video there’s a couple bugs actually hurting our dps now right?

buoyant herald
#

It was to fix double dipping spec aura

normal mist
#

Mostly Cleave/AoE yes

humble cradle
#

Hopefully if they ever get fixed that will be a small gain

normal mist
#

it will be around a 10% buff

#

if stuff gets fixed

gray raven
#

Yeah it’s a lot honestly

normal mist
#

10% buff IN AOE

#

Our ST is barely hurt

#

mostly FB 4set shenanigans

autumn idol
#

seal fate coins

humble cradle
#

Is there any reason to believe the cleave/no garrote build from last season will take over at high keys or are we likely sticking with bleed the whole way this season?

#

I did enjoy not being bottom boss dmg most of the time

normal mist
#

Bleed has huge funnel and Gigantic AoE compared to other builds

#

(bleed doesn't have huge funnel CURRENTLY due to bugs)

buoyant herald
#

Death stalker has like 20 hero talents that buff aoe

#

Fate has 2 that actively make you do less damage when adds show up

waxen oyster
#

realistically if you want boss damage at the push key level

#

you play sub i imagine

#

also comes with the benefit you aren't really squishy

buoyant herald
#

I’ve been doing a dabble into sub, not usually a fan, but it’s probably as nice as it’s ever been

golden loom
#

sub is fun yeah

waxen oyster
#

also just funny to end bosses at like

#

4.5m

buoyant herald
#

You get the same frustrations around the zdps moments if you plan badly

waxen oyster
#

compared to 3.5

buoyant herald
#

But that’s on me not the spec itself

golden loom
#

I really like the feedback of the spec, the sound of the abilities, the sound the shadowcraft weakaura makes

#

dopamine spec

buoyant herald
waxen oyster
#

i assume the swish swish sounds are

#

coup hits

golden loom
#

I love the coup sound

waxen oyster
#

also being able to burst 11m

#

on bosses is funny

golden loom
#

also really like shadowstrike

buoyant herald
#

Yeah I’d really recommend giving it a go not because sin bad or anything dumb

waxen oyster
#

sometimes i do wonder if sub benefits more

#

from the cdr xal affix

golden loom
buoyant herald
#

Just what I said before about learning all specs if you’re pure dps so you’re not always at the mercy of the tuning gods

golden loom
#

and in m+ currently to learn it

waxen oyster
#

well

buoyant herald
#

Can’t stand DS in the raid tbh

waxen oyster
#

you're pretty safe from learning outlaw

#

very rarely blizz makes it blatantly much better

#

on a real boss

buoyant herald
#

I’m an outlaw main shhhh

waxen oyster
#

i played entirety of df fated as outlaw

#

and most keys in s3

#

+some bosses

golden loom
#

my real reroll though 🔥

buoyant herald
#

Ah the golden years

waxen oyster
#

amir was probably the last time i geneuinly played all 3

#

within the same tier

buoyant herald
#

I’ve played all 3 this tier

#

But outlaw is kinda hard reserved for soul hunters

waxen oyster
#

larodar on outlaw was just better imo

buoyant herald
#

Sin for fatebound bosses

#

Then sub for what’s left

waxen oyster
#

igira depends how fast your group was for nuking spears

buoyant herald
#

I had a rank one outlaw on igira at one point as outlaw, that boss was so nice for it

waxen oyster
#

tbh i think all the bosses until smold were better for outlaw

#

besides gnarl

buoyant herald
#

Nb - my group was not great at nuking spears

waxen oyster
#

whos ass died after the first burn

#

nymue was always funny

buoyant herald
#

Volcoross wasn’t great for outlaw

waxen oyster
#

"how much damage you got on add?"

#

"depends how many procs"

buoyant herald
#

Nymue was assass for sure, KB lined up perfectly with adds

waxen oyster
#

That thing got popped if you could bte every global

buoyant herald
#

And gods it was strong then

waxen oyster
#

between ace resets

#

and imp ar

ocean quiver
#

Any pro log reviewer got time to review a log for me pls

waxen oyster
#

i hate forge on sub

#

your dps is basically dependent on

#

the 2-3 sectec/coup globals

#

per add set

gilded oasis
#

I did not enjoy it at all

#

I also played like a fucking 3 year old

waxen oyster
#

it does feel super good when you can secret into double coup

#

with no downtime

#

on add spawns

buoyant herald
#

I think that’s kinda fine because

#

The capability is there

#

I just need to get better

#

Whereas with sin and outlaw you just can’t throw enough damage into them if the rest of your raid are big bombers

#

Outlaw can do well overall still

clever sparrow
#

how you guys deal damage on first pull of gambit?

buoyant herald
#

But its boss damage is in the gutter

waxen oyster
#

dot everything nuke the big boy

#

pray caustic is fixed with singular so i can nuke it faster

main bridge
buoyant herald
#

Wait so is the caustic / singular focus thing a bug for sure or are we hoping it was an unintended consequence

waxen oyster
#

its a bug

#

worked fine last 2 seasons

buoyant herald
#

Yeah but like

waxen oyster
#

its very noticeable on big funnel setups tbh

buoyant herald
#

So did 48% caustic

waxen oyster
#

like left side miniboss of priory

buoyant herald
#

And so does 36% sanguine blades

waxen oyster
#

sd is doing dick this season

buoyant herald
#

I mean I know it just stopped working but it was at the same time they fixed caustic

waxen oyster
#

i've noticed though

#

what the helly

rotund oak
compact flame
#

is that hard wrong in a priory? 😄

buoyant herald
#

Are we sure they didn’t make caustic stop feeding SF on purpose

waxen oyster
#

its funny because havoc fills the same niche

#

as ds assa

#

well reaver havoc at least

buoyant herald
waxen oyster
#

This breakdown looks like

#

"i spend extended time off my mark target"

compact flame
#

That was my first dungeon as assa 😄 I am so confused 😂

waxen oyster
#

its not horrendous though

compact flame
#

yeah Idk, I have 3% haste but damage was still fine compared to the other dps in that key. Can't get used to track all these dots yet

waxen oyster
#

haste dont matter

compact flame
#

uh should caustic be always on top?

waxen oyster
#

1st or 2nd

#

depends on key

#

i think tier has been pushing it to 1st more lately.

#

s2 ct was a good few % of #2 typically

compact flame
#

Do I actually just press bleeds while indiscriminate carnage is active, and after that im only watching for bleeds on main target? Or shall I watch out for bleeds everytime on high health mobs

unborn rain
#

yeah bleed to get scent of blood going

compact flame
#

I think im so concentrated on trying to get bleeds of, that im not maintaining caustic on main target

waxen oyster
#

I mean there isn't a set rule

#

mobs that live long generally should get bleeds

royal lantern
#

will i die soon

#

help

waxen oyster
#

I probably played that priory wrong anyway.

#

didnt even get 8m

#

washed

restive crater
#

Idk if it’s correct, but on packs with <7 mobs I dot the whole pack, on packs with 10+ I’ll try and dot 9-11 mobs then smash envenoms on my marked target for spatter dmg.

ocean quiver
waxen oyster
#

Realistically how fast you personally are at getting bleeds out will influence if you should rupture absolutely everything

static glacier
waxen oyster
#

yeah its kind of bad considering

#

i did almost 8 in s2

ebon steppe
#

Bleed build is just not that fun to play

royal lantern

Hey guys i heard today there was some "Silent nerf" for assa rogues this week, anyone knows anything about it? 🙂

main bridge
#

you got clickbaited also pins

last skiff
#

no bugs garf

#

whispyr is a spy from outlaw

deep breach
#

waaaait. assa is bugged? whaaaaat.

last skiff
#

dont trust him

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

So it was 42%

#

In season 1 it was 40.4%

humble verge
buoyant herald
#

thats kinda my point though, wondering how intentional that change was

thorn thorn
buoyant herald
#

maybe it was on purpose because it got the spotlight on it

#

when spec aura got cranked high

humble verge
# thorn thorn 👀

we did a mug and gally test run, i was 1 of 2 who didnt have it already lol

clever sparrow
#

i still dont know how many bleeds should i apply in gambit first pull

#

its never enough

#

and when i try to bleed all they die and im at 3 mil

autumn idol
#

zeross went over this

#

you should be trying to put bleeds and shiv before the smallies arrive with tricks

clever sparrow
somber patrol
#

!gear

autumn idol
#

Ye

#

correct

reef aspen
#

!macro

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

clever sparrow
#

what should i do at that point?

#

ignore everything and mash envenom to caustic?

autumn idol
#

thats one option, the other option is finding which big murlocs are not dotted while you are in the ID window and dotting those if the smallies arrived

autumn idol
#

theres a secret

#

third option

clever sparrow
#

we vanish and do that again? until everyone bleeding? 😄

autumn idol
#

nah

#

play sub for gambit instead

clever sparrow
thick juniper
#

good afternoon, regarding fatebound opener, do i vanish before or after kingsbane?

clever sparrow
#

but tbh its hard to swap to a new spec on 13

autumn idol
#

you can macro vanish into kingsbane, its recommended to do it before

autumn idol
thick juniper
#

k ty

autumn idol
#

and thats playing more, failing, and learning to play better

clever sparrow
#

i watched shindigg one literaly learned nothing

#

it was chinese

#

i just played sub for pvp and i have no idea how it works in pve

autumn idol
#

this discord provides a lot of info, even for sub

#

it differs from assassination as there are clear uptimes and downtimes

clever sparrow
#

they dont have whispyr to answer my dumbass questions

autumn idol
#

all that class discords do is answer questions

#

theres a basic rotation guide in there, sub is a bit tricky to learn at first as it is a bit unintuitive

#

one thing that helps is that the rotation and rules around rotation do not differ much when going from singletarget to aoe scenarios

clever sparrow
tawny blaze
#

I see a lot of top rogue assa played sub now, does it perform better in high key?

ocean quiver
echo island
#

Its similar in AOE, but much better on bosses and prio targets

frozen glacier
#

im too stupid for sub in m+ i think

echo island
#

Its easy tbh

autumn idol
#

Uhh

#

prio? are you sure

#

the prio is the same if not assa pulling ahead

#

just that sub deals way better single target

echo island
#

Your not punished super hard for making small mistakes during shadow dance, unlike during raid

clever sparrow
#

sub just works better if your tank is animal enough to not let you funnel as sin

echo island
#

Hmm, i found prio targets melting when i dump all my cd's on it and funneling everything . Didnt check numericaly, might be based on ' feeling ' over facts

clever sparrow
#

😄

#

i became a tank hater recently

autumn idol
#

it just damages everything

clever sparrow
#

tbh if our singular focus get fixed i can say cleave wont be behind from sub

autumn idol
#

the main target a little bit harder

acoustic roost
autumn idol
#

assa has clear funnel into their prio target with energy focus and buffed crimson tempest + scent of blood

#

even better if spatter/singular and the other hero talent got fixed garf

clever sparrow
#

btw do we have any spec with higher funnel dps than sin?

is guardian druid hard?

i sometimes think its hard af

royal lantern

no

#

its the easiest tank togheter with warrior and DH

#

press mangle on cd

#

press thrash on CD

#

press ironfur whenever its avaible

clever sparrow
#

THEN HOW TF PEPOLE ARE BAD WITH IT

royal lantern
#

you can now play bear druid

royal lantern
#

m+ allows failing upwards by bruteforcing keys

#

tanks get easy fast invites

clever sparrow
#

but being bad stop your progress at somepoint?

royal lantern
#

just spam 20 keys and ruin them

#

doesnt mater

#

run #21 has a group with 4 good players that carry you trought it->score goes up-> "as a (insert number) rio m+ player......."

#

you can bruteforce VERY far in m+ by spamming dungeons 24/7

clever sparrow
#

make sense

fleet pagoda
#

it's how mages live

clever sparrow
#

i always thought pepole can report you for being bad

fleet pagoda
#

die every pull, chill, let the group win 2ez

royal lantern
#

like, not saying that score doesnt matter or something like that

#

but you can get a high amount of sucess in m+ literally by playing all the time

#

because you cant lose score or something like that

#

it only goes up

thorn thorn
#

You press thrash

#

And ironfur

#

And you press mangle when its available

royal lantern
clever sparrow
#

i just learned a new spec

thorn thorn
#

If you are so entitled you can even press incarn

#

Maybe even press bark skin

royal lantern
#

its the same with prot warrior

#

press shield block when its avaible

#

press thundeclap when its avaible

#

press shield block and IP when you can

thorn thorn
#

If you take damage you could just press frenzied regen

#

But you know

#

You also couldnt

#

It would still be fine

clever sparrow
#

maybe?

thorn thorn
#

Yea

#

Probably fine to press it occasionally

#

Maul?

ocean quiver

Yea you unbind it

royal lantern

#

HMMMM

royal lantern
#

LMAO

clever sparrow
#

what about my back?

#

can i turn my back to mobs and run?

#

KITE?

thorn thorn
#

Why kite

royal lantern
thorn thorn
#

Just press ironfur

#

You dont need to kite

royal lantern
#

but kiting is also not really a thing overall

#

espacially not kiting by walking around

thorn thorn
#

You could legit get 3 stacks of the mortal strike in HOA and you still done need to kite

#

Bear and prot warrior are both basically immune to physical damage

royal lantern
#

i literally just did a +7 key with my bear drood that is ilvl 673

#

like, i was in danger twice i gues?

thorn thorn
royal lantern
#

just press cd->spam trash and mangle and press ironfur whenever you can

#

thats all lol

thorn thorn
#

incarn is a dps cd before a +10

You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:

Lethals:

  • Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
    Non-Lethals:
  • Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB

Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
