Is there a target for stat breakpoints? I'm sitting at 12k Crit but running Idol and Antenna with council's guile.
im being clowned in sub
i have used radiant this whole time
not knowing its recommended to use the secondary stat weapon enchants


on wcl, how do you see your timeline again? like second by second ability usage
perfect ty
No, just sim
👏
u raiding tnite?
No, I’m bowling like shit instead
Is there a bug tracker for Assassination like in the subtlety channel?
Just the list in the pins
thanks
blizzard thinks rogue is fine
bugs fine too
dear realz,
when your 100 sin parse looks like 80 hunter parse it's not looking good
It’s not like we’re doing shit damage because of bugs
In raids we’re doing more than intended on 6/8 fights
You’ll live
it's not the bugs that make the class grainy to play
why are we still wasting our times with this god forsaken spec
i'm bottoming my guild details, doing 98+ parses. rogue deserves better
mass reroll sub shut down the cord
we have litterly a spec which is called sub who else should be bottoming details?
🤨
On some dogass wipe log or what
assa worse at everything eta gg 
im not on details because i somehow play way worse then last season 
fucking furry warrior beat my ass on fract feels so annoying
isnt fury one of the best st specs rn
oh im aware how it works
my warrior at 700 eq sims like 4.9 patchwerk
nice spec

Hey all, watched our dear leaders 3 hour video (THANK YOU for doing that) and some data is muddled in my brain... do we want to Envenom with 5+ or hold out for 7 if we won't overcap?
Bottom 2 got buffs, competing for last place maybe?
Where feral buffs

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

checking logs for dimensius burn phase. is there any reason not to garrote before mutilate?
Hi guys, juanchio again. Quick question. Wich build should be the most viable for raiding? I used to be the top dps on my guild but so far im the lowest. Trying my best to figure out whats going on. I read Sub is now the default raiding spec.
Thats correct?
BTW im Assa+Deathstalker
fatebound on single target
Sub+Fate or Ass+Fate?
Sub can’t play fatebound
Assassination plays fatebound on all fights except soulbinder
sub plays trickster in all content
Hahaha my apologies what i meant is should I stay ass or switch? Fatebound seems fun never tried before but all aim for Sub+tricks on what i found.
Yeah thats what i was gathering. I feel frustrated. My rotation aint perfect but not bad. And today my DPS was a bit above tanks. And no idea why.
I think i will. Its being a while since i played sub. And used to love that spec.
same reasoning for me
Thanks so much for the comments. Means a lot to know im not alone on the confussion.
You’ve not played Fatebound this patch?
Not at all. Stayed to DS since i love the rotation and feel of it.
But seems like I should either learn fatebound or switch to Sub.
On m+ im doing fine with Assa+DS
well, there’s your problem 
the learning for fb is rather simple, and gives you a 1:30 timer on your cd's
Deathstalker is ~17% behind Fatebound in single target
With t4 bonus, right?
yup
idk what to take
mainly playing m+
soleahs seems to sim better but idk about m+ sims
hc prism and pacemaker is on the left
cause i dont think you want a new trinket
only 2 viable options are the trinkets
- slot is boots and i have hc soul hunter and i already have the raid belt
anyone else on mythic nexus king. something about that fight makes the 4 piece bug out like every other pull
on myth track though?
yes
It bugs every other pull for me regardless of boss, teach me your ways
i've had the bug on frac and plexus
oddly after i shifted my vanish placement
the plexus one was with kb only, not dm
I’ve given up trying to understand the bug
it feels different on that fight for some reason. like im popping on cd in p1 but they are always at different timings going into intermission
normally the bug happens like 1/5 pulls maybe on other bosses

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Really? I thought Forgeweaver and Soulhunters also?
your playing fatebound on council boss?
nah forgeweaver is FB
mark is bugging out on pillars
sim says this both trinkets and belt upgraded to 723
dungeon slice
you should do one with an extra socket
does socketted belt = more than soleah
guess i should also disable some raid buffs
I forget that’s a boss lowkey, but yes that’s also deathstalker
!rik
Rik Reverb Barrels (and similar spread cleave in raid)
- Not your problem.
- Assassination is the worst target swapping spec in the game, and we have no tools available to deal with the situation of priority spread cleave. Caustic can reach sometimes but similar to fire mage, the boss needs to be on top of the adds, causing caustic to often be out of range.
- If you're truly hellbent on swapping to barrels, hold your nearest darkest night and just slam a darkest night envenom into them and pray. If you're quick enough you can also pool combo points/energy and cast a rupture on a barrel to try and caustic off of them. This still will not do good barrel damage, again, the spec is doomed for it
- Another possible option would be talenting into Crimson Tempest by untalenting Bone Spike and Doomblade. This CAN TECHNICALLY provide a bit of barrel damage, but the spawns need to be immaculate and any difficult spawns will just result in no barrel damage again.
With all that, the best advice we have for swapping barrels: - Swap to Subtlety.
chat how much crit and mastery % should I have? cus I feel I'm not doing enough dmg for like +10 mythic keys, maybe I am a bit high on mastery and a bit low on crit? or just a skill issue
Not far off from me and overall +10 Floodgate i did 5.6Mil
Secondaries on assassination are very close in general
Crit > mast is a rough guideline but we’re just interested in item level for the most part
Well, mast > crit for m+
But same shit
when do I wanna use Lily when doing M+? the 1:30cd is awkward opposed to being in fatebound which lines up perfectly
Dont you use Forge in M+?
i dont have forge yet
Always with deathmark
but I thought i wanted prism(which i alr have)+antenna?
With DM up or when you vanish and about to Ambush to reapply?
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
You could technically make the argument to just use it at the start of a pull instead but it would desync from your deathmark and then get really yucky
I also want to ask if its worth to craft something? Everything is 704, hands are champ 8/8
yea this is what ive been doing
Vanish to reapply for what
Deathmark not deathstalkers mark
No worries I got you
Yeah that shit might be like 0.x% better or whatever but good fucking luck playing that perfectly and then re-syncing it for bosses
exactly haha
That shits borderline inhuman
Just like me fr
surely the big ST things will be exactly 6 minutes apart
I heard that the disc belt might not be as good as it once was,. Did it change yesterday? It is still up to 710 ilvl or less? thanks. I got the H bis belt last night
also, gear optimization/minmaxing question:
i get that raid = crit>mas and m+ = mas>crit,
so:
do i want to gear up for two different equipment sets if i dont want to keep buying enchantment/gem replacements? or just have the best(worst) of both worlds and go for hybrid mastery/crit ench/gems?
what are you guys doing
It’s getting nerfed with the 10.2.5 patch. So not yet.
I gear for raid and just send it the same here in m+ til raid is over. And then I might swap some gems and stuff
laziest is just pick which thing you care the most about and gear for that. one step above that, keep some extra pieces in another gear set with trinkets, rings, etc. since those will swing your stats in one fell swoop
yesterday was a very good day 
these are very small % differences at the end of the day
If you’re super min-maxing, yes, you would technically want two sets. But it’s really not that necessary
Like generally you’ll find more gains just equipping your highest ilvl
Once you’re full 723’s then okay
Sure
Fuck it, get a second set
gotcha, thanks
you can already swing ur secondaries pretty hard by swapping cloak gem
!richard
just vanish
Wish i could
vanish or backstab your boss and become new company owner
i feel like if you backstab your boss, you might have to vanish from the law anyway
hum
i'm in the pew pew governement industry
i aint trying to become the chief of armed forces guys
so idk about backstabbing my boss
how come rogues play DS on Soulbinder instead of FB with CS? The adds are dying so fast its like they are not even there (on mythic)
The fight is a 2min timer
And deathstalker does infinite more aoe than fatebound
this shit hurts my soul tho
Fatebound is ahead by 17-18% in single target, once you get to 3ish targets, Fatebound is equal or slightly worse
wow fatal intent coming in hot

it would only double it's dps tho
still less than amp poison

Why I do my rotation same
Opener same to a T
And im in first 50 sec either 3th or 5th
Assa Ramps up later?
I recently started to put more attention to details and its hard to tell if i do good rotation or not cuz im max 3th either way and all in our guild are 711ilvl
+-
Natural spec variation
Just because of rng you might do slightly more or less damage each pull, and so will your guildies
just wait until execute
whats your rotation in M+ on those super big pulls?
do yall try to dot everything or just around 8-9 targets and the rest caustic spatter?
Whats bigger dps on nexus add phase
Instant single target with maybe two adds rapture
Or 4-5 raptures and rhen st funnel
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
what build would you go for hardmode for sin?
I think you can freely change talents in this dun
so you can full aoe for packs and fb st for bosses
Quick question guys, i'd like a reminder. How are we supposed to play ST encounter in bleed build in M+ ? Do we just apply bleed and let it tick with Sanguine Blades ? De we never envenom or only to darkest night ?
I understand that we are dommed to have a bad ST as bleed but i'd like to do it as best as i can
you don't want to be above 150 energy, you play it the same as any other single target
all your damage comes from deathmark
if you don't double shiv + vanish every deathmark window you are simply trolling and losing hundreds of thousands of dps
Alright so the biggest impact would be to make sure i have Deathmark and at least 1 vanish for any serious ST encounter rather than trying to pool or anything like it
5 ruptures min, can do an extra cast or two depending on what's in the pack. Like if there's shitters that'll die quick or a lot of big targets might want to cast another to make sure you got max scent. Improved garrote on everything, then CT + spatter
having deathmark for a boss is a requirement not a suggestion, yes
For sure did not want to suggest otherwise,
seeing people cast 1 deathmark on a 3:30 boss cause they didn't have it ready
and then bitch about bad ST
makes me irrationally furious
I really hope they fix these rogue bugs unironically feels like im doing less damage now than i was in week 1-2
I mean that's not true, the bug fixes are more annoying than they are numerical
so
sounds like it's mostly in your head
but yes, bug fixes would be nice
Not gonna lie it happened to me sometimes as i learn the dungeon and also because sometime i'm an idiot
Y eah its definately more a feeling just dont seem to "pop off" anymore when splattering in keys
I'm curious what is the straight numerical answer to that ? like is there a figure to how much we are losing of dps in a funnel because of bug ? i doubt it's that much but maybe i'm wrong
@balmy condor would you be kind enough to share your MRT reminders for manaforge please? 
singular focus is like 4-6% depending on how much funnel is in the dungeon, lower aoe dungeons obviously less
Hey just started progging on mythic Loom, now guild told me its a ranged only mechanic but i seem to be baiting htem is this a bug? or is rogue being considered ranged like invokers are as well? seems my DH arent so curious if this a know thign i cant find anything about it tho im sure i could of just missed it
baiting what
probably the circles on the ground
circles sorry yes
the circles on the ground are just for everyone I'm pretty sure
Yep it happened to me too in raid yesterday
Yeah ive had them as melee
Pretty sure its ranged and healer no?
nah
where did you clip that from?
baiting circles is crazy though, are you guys actually trying to bait them?
I've been told they have a higher probability to spawn under ranged players but dunno if that is true
oh god not this shit hole
pointless either way

Circle Jerk Exchange
its great content
you mean #outlaw ?
also known as raid leading elitists
that's true yeah
Yeah guild wants ranged baiting cause people are dumb
that's insane
but it seemed like i was getting them more than anyone else XD
whispyr do you hard focus tangles on loom'athar? I've been swapping but even double rupturing and stepping the far one feel like im doing fuck all damage to them
hell fucking no
I don't even rupture them
people will end up cuddling anyways in p1, no point in dedicated "baiting"
Would i be trolling if i tried to do Araz as Assa rogues ? We've been progressing 2 night on araz, played Sub because it seemed to be really that better, but right now i wonder if it's even worth it considering i don't have that much experience as sub. Wondering if doing a great job as assa might be better than a mediocre sub one
idk people were saying they were dieing trying to running out and "bad" baits
if manifestation damage is an issue for some reason (it really shouldn't be), sub is by far better
for boss damage, sub is a little better but there's a couple assa parses in the top 50
so like
it's fine
I've played assa on all of our kills
and it's bee totally fine
nothing really matters what you play until nexus king
just play what you enjoy
I'll try it next time, sub is quite interesting but is kicking my ass if i do a single mistake
I mean even on nexus king, assa is probably fine
I am
based
just practice, sub is very strict sticking to a script
oh wait there's one assi public log now
As Fatebound ?

We'll see honestly, my guild is a 2 night raiding guild, so not a lot of time to train and progress the boss, assa might be the play even tho it's not as good as sub
gotta get your r1 parse somehow
that's how i got mine on soulbinder 
he even cast his netherprism on the titan
so he didn't have a max stack for the amp
If you're the first, you'll always be #1
You know what isn't fine?
Me doing around 5 million DPS on nexus king and our hunter above me pulling 6M
Just shitting on everyone else
ive never hated BM more than i did last night
theyre not even playing the same game
oh nvm
he didn't use prism on the titan
yeah this is basically exactly what my prep is for nexus king
except his opener is dogshit
but ya know
what can you do
Nothing more demoralising than thinking you did good and then seeing your numbers against a highrolling MM hunter
Quick question fo Hall of atonement, Are you guys using the Wound poison for the miniboss before last boss and if so are you using the talent to stack 2 more stack of wound poison ?
you should take the talent, it doesn't cost you anything
but you only really use wound poison on it in super high keys
like if he's healing 2+ times then it's probably worth
if you're one-banging him or it's just one heal and dead
there's no point

so you try to improve garrote the whole pack no matter the size?
Last group i did it with in a +13 felt like not having cds on him, so he did heal 2 times...
those cd timings look cooked af rip
yes
im talking those first pulls that are huge
ok
what's the alternative, a shit ass fok?
but rupture isnt needed on the whole thing?
no
ok
improved garrote does more than a rupture would
rupture is there for scent of blood
so basically get like 9 ruptures maybe and the rest IG and Spatter
His high rolls are every fight to be honest xD he has better overall score than me
actually no, that dm probs goes hard into titan
9 is pushing it, but sure yah
that's what I been sayin

im too used to heroic where it'd be dead by then
i was trying to put IG and Rupture on everything before going to spatter
damn he pumping
He's really good
except araz, must have low rolled that
We love him
im guessing you throw CT after the initial dotting and then go out to IG everything right?
yeah
Are you doing all the boss in assa, because " fuck sub" or is it because you're the " assassination guy". .. or both ? :p
I mean it's a combination of I can't be fucked learning sub, but also I don't see the point
does it cook your dm into amp phase, or is that delayed om mythic too
Based
the amp is 4:30
so you lose abotu 10s of amp
what
old mates logs, doesnt get dm till 4:40
nice
yeah idk
people keep telling me sub is so much better
like my stream chat was cooking me for playing assa on araz
and I'm like guys
i mean on heroic yes, purely cause shit doesn't live long enough
it's literally fine
and then first kill, top boss damage
second kill, top boss damage, second overall
and I'm like
?????
do I really need to play sub?
I’m cooking you just cause
fatebound and sub are both 1:30 burst specs
sub just pads harder and has a higher peak
idk
adds need to die! its not pad!
the claims of assa's death are greatly exaggerated
yea I kinda hoped it'd pay off during dragon and platform phases, but it doesn't do jack
you are blinded by ravenholdt whispyr
so true
I'm blinded by the class discord that is full of people I scream at and disagree with 24/7

i think our bugs will get fix next expansion
I think assa is fun and will enjoy playing the spec I love
had a bugfree pretty highroll 6% fract wipe into a bugged mess of a pull right after to kill it 
I actually love playing fatebound so much when its working
like I love it on araz
and then when it bugs I want to never log in again
i love sin rogue but its getting bad each time with bugs
makes me cry on the corner
and why we have bad st dmg in mythic + while other classes do aoe and st at the same time
fix that shit too thx
I love sin rogue and the only bug I notice is the fatebound cdr and I don't care
I just line it up with cold blood and move on with my life
yeah same
i do that too when its bugged
you were just at bargaining
dw you are almost at the end
acutally no maybe it was denial
xd
with bugs being fixed next expansion
i know where iam at that table

on fractillus you also have infinite time and brainpower to focus on being tilted at tier set
cause nothing happens

Yesterday on nexus king we actually managed to kill the fucking dragon on the amp phase
And it was lovely
Feign a DC
not ashamed to say i’ve done this….
I haven't done it yet but I was sorely tempted when it happened back to back
Yo lads i would like a help ;d
what would u pick in this situation?
Atm i use HC peace maker & Lily
for M+ Purposes ofc
I am terrible when it comes to simming ;d
just take the prism xd
“bro my game crashed wtf”
knowing i just fucked up my opener
Yo what would be the next crafted item? A neck or ring maybe?
whatever you got unlucky with
Guess that’s about right
sim is saying that vers/mas gems are the best for dps in dungeon slice..?
reasonable
nice
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fyYisDWVATJWLz5LH6QDZa it's this one, btw
i just believed your wowhead guide more initially hence the skepticism 😄
the wowhead guide also says that secondaries are worth jack shit and you should sim yourself cause stats are fluid and everchanging based on the rest of your gear
btw is it useful to enchant your off hand?
yes lol
having extra stats is good yeah
Hey, I'm debating with myself, when I'm sending CDs
Shiv > DM > KB
When do I re-shiv? For the last 7s of DM or last 7s of KB?
kb
last 7 of dm
you shiv right after the first shiv drops
there is no point in waiting for the end of kingsbane
you simply lose out on shiv uptime during deathmark, which is troll
There's a gap between shiv drop and 7s left on DM though
isnt better to wait for max stacks on kingsbane?
You are already at max stacks
you reach max stacks in 3-4 seconds
So not even 7s left, just send
yes
you want the second shiv to cover deathmark
as long as the entire duration of the second shiv is within deathmark
I don't really care when you cast it
but you want to have the shiv uptime during deathmark
Alright, thanks for clarifying 
np
Love the amount of work you do Whispyr :)
on some bosses like Fractillus i guess it's a little bit rng with shitty parries
like for me on last night fracti i've got max stacks on opener when kb had 8 sec left
QQ - do we maintain Garrote during KB/DM?
during deathmark?
I can't believe that
Like our Garrote in opner falls off do we reapply during the DM/KB or do we wait till it's over?
Yeah
Death mark doubles bleeds
yeye fair cool
We want bleeds on target
nevermind i'm stupid, i'm still tracking to 100 stacks 😄
nevermind i'm stupid, i'm still tracking
fixed that for you
what is the point of tracking it at all

The wa for total kingsbane dmg, it's funny to see the records of kingsbane
tracking kingsbane stacks might as well just be a fucking swing timer in 2025
Me when i track alacrity
I will make a WA that gives my char son goku style hair on kb usage and with every kb stack it changes shape towards the super saiyajin version and adds a shade towards gold

I actually dont know if I have it
probably not, since im just using a modified Whispyr afenar edit.
But I had it for a long time to fill a space

Also when we vanish in our opener do we care what the global is that takes us out of stealth?
my global after vanishing in opener is deathmark 
so nope
Oh you Vanish after your shiv?
yeah I have trinket macrod to vanish
so I vanish after shiv before DM to get the coins buffed by my 0 stack prism
Ye that's fair
In fatebound you vanish after dm + kb right?
As long as it's in the opener it doesn't really matter where
I thought it was important cause of Edge case?
Yes and there vanish is after
you can cast vanish at any point after that first vanish in the screenshot
as long as you vanish anywhere here
Oh ok
so after the first envenom, before the third envenom
Hi Whispyr 
anywhere in that window

Dont insult pookie
Hey Whisp, how do you track the antenna spawn on logs ? I remember u did it for some maths
it's just the diff between thoses 2 ID ?
yes
thanks
Yes but with the caveat that the combatlog is actually kinda shit about it
And if you want to be fully accurate
You would need to count up the actual buff events by hand
the count of spawn is correct, but the buff u wanna go event and count right
Well yes and no
When you lose a stack it fires an erroneous refresh event
For god knows what reason
Like this would suggest you picked up 4 more than you spawned
Which is obviously stupid
So you would have to go in and manually remove the erroneous triggers from the count
It does this on both spell id’s as well
So this log is actually 17/17
can no garrote build still be played
Yeh maybe in like streets or dawn or something
Could be okay as a niche thing for boss damage
I wanna know why I am not doing better
D:
sorry i feel stupid, i dont understand the difference between 123941 ID (the blue one) and 1239640 ID (the yellow one) on buff tracker
The top one here is the pickup, the bottom one is the spawn
i pickup only 9
on the 19 possible
16 possible
true
thanks a lot for ur time
now im wondering about araz 710 instead of antenna 723 XD
im sub so wrong chan
just asked u bcs i remembered when u did the math
for someone
dw i wont double use as assa
dont hit anithing
😄
I mean eleem can correct me if I’m wrong but double on use is pretty shit on sub outside of hyper niche situations I’m pretty sure
Its fine for ST, but sub has a lot more of its damage in its cooldowns compared to assa
But people overglaze it to high heavens for sure
Because its good in m+
You can have an 18 stacker on a really hard pack
And use araz on an easier one
Basically preplan everything really
You can have 18 stackers anyway
18 stackers + passiv on big and only passiv on chill pull
Ive seen logs where the average use of araz is every 4:10
What if, 18 stacker and then a second trinket on top of the 18 stacker that also does something good and then you get TWO trinkets during your giga pull

18 stack insta deletes the pack
Issue with passives in m+ for sub is that u wont have good stacks on prism if u dont have araz most of the time
A lot less of subs damage is tied to blades in aoe
Dance actually does respectable damage
bcs big pull ?
To get more damage on the next pull?
Thats why every sub rogue plays it
I’m just glad I don’t gotta deal with this shit on assa I’m ngl
Theres a reason why every top sub rogue uses it
Theres nothing much to point out on, in high keys u need dmg even on the easier packs
Not everything is sim based in there u know
Im not basing it on sims
Im saying that if youre not using your araz trinket for 5 minutes sometimes
Why the fuck are you tanking a 10% constant damage loss for it
For 17k more agi every 5 minutes
(moreso 4 on average, but yeah)
Its a 2 min trinket u use it every 3 anyone who delays it is losing dps its called misplay
Love how we have two separate commands about Rik Reverb Barrels.
It’s been two weeks
Besides eleem
Yeah but youre not using your cooldowns literally on cd all the time
😔
Cds are scripted in premades
Where are the fixes, tuning has come and gone
Not in pugs
Every 1.5, 3 min
Since you looked at me, cocked your head to the side and said I’m angry
that answers the question I was about to ask, thanks
Not 5 mins
Good song
Why would someone delay his 2nd cd for 2 more mins im confused
@spice surge
Idk
Ask this guy
Send the link
17 priory, but its not particularly hard to find other examples
17 priory it seems
Because im pretty sure thats out of context
Ye every priory i did was messed up to begin with
Havent had clean key sessions this season since playing with zac btw
So it’s every 3 min but also when it’s not every 3 min it’s out of context and the key actually was messed up so it doesn’t count

I mean isn’t this what you just said
All 17 and higher priories i did were giga messed up
Literally microwaved route
We played a bunch of normal 5 mobs and more
Most of the top logs have at some point held it for more than 4:30
Yeah so anyone who delays it is losing dps and misplaying
You delayed it, but it doesn’t count cause the route was microwaved
Check kush and casual where they have proper tank instead of linking my logs with pug tanks
Is that not the argument
Yeah i am
Thats what im saying
Route is messed up then things like that happen all the time
Yeah but eleem’s whole point is that perfect scenarios don’t just happen
Routes are fked up
I didnt push seriously yet so
Like eleem is saying that because it’s m+ and not perfect timer, you have to delay all the time
And that makes the trinket worse
Not all the time, but a lot of the time
I agree, when you push with a proper grp and have the groups sorted things like that never really happen
!guide
Assassination Guides:
Wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/assassination-rogue-guide
IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
Your average pug grp sure run a passive but its mostly sorting cds early on
I think alot of classes that dont have cd management also fk up in random routes
Its just early season things
Okay so if I understand correctly, all the sub rogues play it because it’s giga, and you have to use it every 3 or close to every 3 because holding it is bad.
And then eleem opens log where it’s common to hold and delay it pretty frequently cause things just don’t line up
And so now it’s just groups haven’t sorted things and so that’s why the delay? Or is it like routes are all bad
Yeah I mean, eleem said kush’s group and stuff had the same thing
that one i probably misclicked prism @spice surge ?
Still had my binds abit sus back then
quick question do we think about raid renown? or i just use my council guidence and sharpening still?
Its mana oils, but it doesnt affect mana oils
Its just affecting enchants, like guile
so i just dont mind it ig?
or do i change something, like i want the 0.1% if i can get it easily (which doesnt matter but feels better)
Im pretty sure i misclicked prism
Stonebound still isn’t better
Not that its super relevant but does it scale on both elements on radiant authority?
Like damage and ms?
Yes
Nah youre just purposefully missing my point, i couldve picked casual or any other top log too
so i just get buff and dont care about it no changes
Yes guile just become inceeasingly better
Correct
The rep buff is only really like
1.15% dps
Or some shit like that
the 125% wouldve been fun icl
It’s basically like the fire breathe from last tier
We are getting 3% every now and again anyway
That did jack fucking shit
I wish someone made videos for other specs like whispyr does for assa
3 hours of outlaw content 
I try to understand sub, but im too stupid
im sorry if its stupid to ask but can any1 explain how to maintain dps in raids, i do my opener and everything but the longer the fight lasts the more i seem to gradually fall off, im practicing on a dummy rn
im really bad at st
if outlaw rework is intriguing ill probably no life beta and do some stuff for it
Gotta put my editing classes and expensive mic to use at some point
YES YES YES
We had this same discussion last season about cleave build where you called me out on alot of things and still ended up playing it anyway at the end of the season
Would be welcoming!
Im not purposely ignoring your points im telling you in a real key things are way different than those flawed runs
I still have the screenshot where u told me to remind you in 2 months where i’d end up playing bleed build
And you still ended up playing mine
Gotta say though @balmy condor idk how you do it, whenever I’m trying to help out guildies with rogue I struggle to go to basics
Whatever I end up explaining is already way too out there for their prior knowledge
Not really trying to sorry if it sounded that way
when i coach people i prefer talking first and looking at opener kb window and then filler. then u see if u need basics or not
also pretty clear what need work
Issue with 1x trinket is that u can run keys like the priory u linked, the pull after 1st boss requires 18 stacks on sub
oh sure with logs im fine, just making videos and such
And using sub cds without a trinket is a huge loss
If I don’t know what peoples’ prior xp is I feel like ill probably suck at explaining stuff
feeling dry as hell sittin there explaining sinister strike and shi
i also tell them to read wowhead first :x
I like that he explains and shows the concepts of how things work
Often i read guides and like see What the rotation should look like, but not Why it should like like that
If that makes sense
Btw @spice surge all top 10 sub rogues excluding 1 run araz+prism including kush, casual
It was played on all rwf sub bosses too iirc
I am wdym
I am once again disappointed
the words nether prism doomed you zeross
bro is in the sin channel debating sub builds while claiming allegiance to outlaw
how rogueish
Let me confront you instead zac
On your last 2 kills
What spec did you play in raid
?

Are you truly an outlaw player or are you a betrayer by heart
Ok but
but how can you be a true outlaw without breaking the rules every now and then?
Even post nerf I don't think I would have been able to kill as outlaw
Should I play Prism (hero) + Araz(champ) in M+ insted of Prism + Antenna(champ) ? Like start with araz and use prism when it's stacked. the sim says its bad tho xd
Fine..
should follow the robot,never lies
I wont make it pass like that next time zac
go antenna, you're a 2min class
Not easily
these guys are talking sub
Sub guy..
Gotcha thanks
Nah u cant ever run x2 on use on assa
cook it, you could i just don't think it's ideal
pirate infestation corrupting both sub and sin sacred channels
It was tested, maybe decent in keys like floodgates in specific routes when sin was giga broken
Now it isnt ideal at all on all scenarios
Zeross never lies
Sin was so broken to the level where any trinket u use would one shot the pack
i did ~40-45m on 1st pack in floodgates week 1
It was a totally different spec anyway
Ye now the spec is so bad bro ..
@midnight mist everytime i join a grp..
Any tips to help
Spec assa before applying
guys a kinda strange question. But i feel like sometimes fan of knives is not generating enough combo points when i am to near in a pack and if i step out just a little bit its hitting correctly.. is this a thing or am i tripping?

!bug
Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:
- Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
- Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied
As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ehhh
Let me guess
U have 10% crit
1st of all
Momentum of despair doesnt work with 2set so u cant use that for fok generation
@vestal wren lord fuu sir,whats the command for the bug tracker
Hi Guys, to sims M+ with bleed build, is "Patchwerk mode" good ? or maybe "Dungeon slice".. I'm not sure..
Dslice
I run 34.56 is that good or too much?
For high m+ we do different sims like 10 and 1 mobs but it misses some context u need to be aware of so
Dslice is the best sim
Never sim anything else unless u know that its inaccurate
U dont even play assa bozo
think the bugs are pinned in this channel
cant find any bug on gifthub for fok,we already know seal fate generates 1 combo point extra so its prolly that
yup ive tried on sub and got it,much love though
👍
@spice surge going back to the trinket discussion, how big of a loss is it to send sub cds and hold a prism for the cd after
In sims slightly better than using every blades
Im abit curious because if the loss is really low then you might be into something
It skips it in sims?
Yes
Its like 0.5% or so higher, probably equal without orc
Yeah, unless the fight ends
Oh well i didnt know that at all
Thats interesting
I thought it was slamming it every cd
Ok i guess prism does allow more flexibility than araz afterall
Ye i was prob wrong on that then
prism has the benefit of allowing you to adjust the use to the boss/dungeon
I think u still run araz in keys like dawnbreaker
Again im not saying double on-use is horrible, but a bunch of people have been saying that its required to play sub
Ye my bad i mean its a good point if its already using it every 3 mins
And im pretty sure its atleast similar to passive
Nah i see the value on passives
think it might be that people don't consider holding stacks
Theres also the cursed tech if the fight is exactly 2:30 or 4:30 then araz+passive (holding 90s for 2 min)
discussions in the past often did not consider changing actions in comparisons
I think u always have to run prism in m+ regardless of some timers in keys because of how op an 18 stacker is on almost impossible pulls
you always use prism on sub kinda
Well yeah i was talking about raid, an entire m+ key is not 2:30
Atleast on sin araz was simming higher for me sometiems before
Didnt check with the new trinket apl fixes tho
nah i am at 37 % crit.. its not the issue. its more like a feels weird thing. or is it simply the fact that fan of knives crits then i generate more or it doesnt crit.. is it just about the crit and not about the positioning?
I think it's just way better on last 2 bosses, or at least dimensius
We used to run momentum of despair bro
It gave us giga cp
I did notice what ur talking about tho
Idk if its a real bug or rng
Its more damage to the second platform for sure
@spice surge ngl tho
!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
i dont mean to be arrogant in any way but most of the leaderboard just copies me,casual and kush @spice surge
i think thats where the x2 "requirement" hoax kinda spread out
ye true
Whats the average amount of vers you should have if you are doing 16+ keys
ngl ur definitely into something tho eleem
And sure antenna got nerfed a bit, but most of the power of antenna is in the passive agi, compared to forge where almost all of it is in the on-use
x1 passive does have light in it im pretty sure
Too bad they nerfed pacemaker
Antenna is nice when theres not much happening because you can delay the orbs until you dance
does the sim do that btw?
But then you have stuff like dimmensius p3 where its literally impossible to pickup a single orb
It does not
Sim picks up the orb after a random amount of time
Would it not be possible to implement that into sims
i honestly dont think it should be implemented
We know how long they are on the ground
It definitely could be implemented
But regardless im not gonna push it as the default
i think its good this way imo
Yeah as default would be crazy true
if its slightly undersimming it can give it some extra value
well i wouldn't call it undersimming more of a trinket that can work with ur cds
But it would be intreresting too see how much of a diff it is to delay it
could be quite a lot of dmg
Its like undersimming and oversimming at the same time
ur practically doing 0 dps out of dance
Weird ass trinket
Yeah, why it would be nice too see how much of a dps increase it is too delay before cds
It feels like u can get 2 orbs in cds quite often
Which u will not get if u just pick up at random times
idk
i'll have to start pushing again to get a good feel on the trinkets yet
Image this +prism
That would be crazy
Might not even be that much better than antenna tho just because of how over stated it is
is it possible to Night Elfe into stealth when the tank is chain pulling?
But i guess this one also looked pretty over stated
somehow it dosent work for me do i need a macro or something?
Its very very janky
Press stealth after u meld
Hi
Being further away from the mobs usually increase the chances of it working
Yeah it is pretty cursed
Y i know but sometimes it works and often it dosent
Yeah thats just how it is
yeah thougt so 😄
always friends talkin like I am stupid if I tell them Meld into stealth dosent work
Try to do it when u are not taking any dmg might help
y or i try the distance thing eleem called
maybe just run away and meld into stealth 😄
Then pray
Generally if youre chaining something you can stay behind a bit to try to get the restealths
But like midpack i wouldnt recommend to try to meld
Question
Last few sec od kingsbane (its full stacked) i used full stack prism
In my last seconds od bonus ap do i send envenom or 5-7 ct rapture
Cuz its one last envenom with extra 60k Agi or one rapture with 60k Agi
Is rupture not dynamic?
It is!
We don't snapshot apart from CT with target count
Ok thanks
Im glad that exsang dont exist anymore
man our bossing is bad enough as it is why do we have to suffer deathstalkers mark dissapearing on so many of them
maybe im just bad
Clearly what we need is something that alters bone spike and makes rupture a pain in the ass in some way
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
You can call it a skill check but i don't think it should be possible for us too lose our hero talent ever
Like idk make mutilate apply the mark or smth

It's immersive gameplay okay
hard agree
i like the concept of dsm
Bring back exsanguinate but have it be a random proc on our next tier set. Do it.
but man there are so many stupid mobs in like tazavesh street that keep the mark on them when they die
WHY
The delve mobs like to hold the mark as well
Dsm disappears like the brain cells that let the raid leader understand rogue
DSM would actaully be really cool if we could move it around
Like prio mob spawns easy just put mark on it and funnel it dead
jumping on and off his stupid mount
Would be really nice
i'd like some eco dome please
Yeah when i fuck up that boss i just call too my other dps that he will have to kill boss from here
I just save both my vanish charges for it and pray it's enough
