what went wrong with ass this season so far? first couple of weeks doing 50% more dmg than everyone else in keys now a complete joke especially on dungeon bosses. feels like it happened right after equipping 4set

main bridge
#

caustic got bug fixed but it wasn't a change of 50%

frank vector
#

do you think m+ boss dmg feels worse than last? i do

coral ibex
#

no

frank vector
#

we are just above tank dmg with no cleave

coral ibex
#

nothing changed about that

frank vector
#

last season wasnt embarrasin on m+ bosses

coral ibex
#

then you werent playing bleed build

frank vector
#

i know nothing chnaged but the percent we are behind the other 2 dps is further

#

yes i was kid

coral ibex
#

ok then you were doing the same kind of damage

#

because nothing changed

frank vector
#

yes but im talking relative to the other dps in group

#

we are marginally behind them now

coral ibex
#

ok but im telling you nothing changed about assa to cut your damage by the amount you're saying

frank vector
#

we only pick back up on verall through trash which is ok? but boss dmg is embarrasing

coral ibex
#

so its probably just some anecdotal experience

onyx coyote
#

I'm not the best mplus player an i'm ususally only about 500k under the overall of the 2nd dps.

frank vector
#

it didnt cut my damage. it is just unbalanced damage now. doing shitty trash damage to make up for cringe st dmg

coral ibex
#

ok

#

reroll DK then

#

idk

frank vector
coral ibex
#

you have infinite aoe without any cd's

fallow canopy
#

Ngl saying we do shitty trash damage is crazy

coral ibex
#

and some of the best funnel

onyx coyote
#

overall in general.

unborn rain
#

dear realz,

onyx coyote
#

i die more then i should

coral ibex
frank vector
#

no i meant shitty as in doing aoe dmg to make up for st damage is shitty

coral ibex
#

which is weird

#

you carry the dungeon via aoe

fallow canopy
#

I mean all damage is relevant to timing a key so idk

frank vector
#

it matters whatever but doing good or on par st dmg feels better

coral ibex
#

but i guess if you only care about ST

frank vector
#

im just talking about feels

#

i have prob 1000 keys this expac on sin

#

im sometimes saving deathmark and cds for like 30 secs just so i can go into a boss with some good burst and get 2 cd windows in. last season i would send it whenever id get a full duration no matter if a boss is coming up

#

its embarrasing like that

onyx coyote
#

I've found that when we hit 12s and such the cds line up much better to always be up for packs/bosses.

frank vector
#

just saying we are marginally and clearly behind the other 2 dps this season, first 2 seasons wasnt good but it wasnt embarrasing

frank vector
#

id send a deathmark there but now iv been considering saving it for boss pull

#

depening on timing

#

i never did that in past id send it efficintly to time a key but now i just dont wanna get out dps by tank until cds are up

onyx coyote
#

think my tank pulls different i always have a cd up for the boss. or very soon after

#

hes gotten quite used to assassainations quirks though

frank vector
#

yea

#

another annoying thing now

onyx coyote
#

i rarely ever pug

frank vector
#

not only are we sweating balls to be on par, we also have to deal with the insane chain pulls that are required this season

#

feels so bad

#

its so hard to play rogue

#

for many reasons

onyx coyote
#

withdouble vanish i dont think i've run into an issue

frank vector
#

are you a resilant baby to?

onyx coyote
#

i dont know what that means

frank vector
#

you do

oblique flume
#

caustic spatter is bugged ?? or it's only happens to me ?

fallow canopy
#

Not bugged

oblique flume
#

wtf, im in a run it's like the talent is not even exists

frank vector
#

most of us out in the trenches

onyx coyote
#

then no we just have been a key group for a few expacs

#

dont even have resilent keys for season 3 yet

dense cedar
onyx coyote
#

i hope i didnt make it sound like i run quite high keys i tend to stop at 3k

frank vector
frank vector
#

3.3k or so was my pug cap last season

onyx coyote
#

i dont enjoy pugging at all the new change has made people angrier in pugs

#

though aren't rogues quite under represented in keys to begin with?

frank vector
#

yea but at the start of season all 3 were top meta w/e contenders

onyx coyote
#

I tend to be asked in pugs why i am not outlaw.

normal mist
frank vector
#

i feel like i might enjoy outlaw more at this point

onyx coyote
#

i have never touched it since combat was a thing.

frank vector
#

when the vanish spam become a thing i was done

prisma monolithBOT
#

Caustic is not bugged. The Green Puddle on the ground is Poison Bomb, not Caustic Spatter. You are either:

  1. Not using Deadly/Amplifying poison (or its not applied to your target)
  2. Not using Rupture on your target
  3. Not using Mutilate/Ambush if the above two are applied

#

Is there a way to get some more ST boss damage in keys? Bleed build is nice, but i cry when we get to bosses 🤣

runic hinge
#

Not really

#

spec just isn't built that way and if you use the other builds like cleave for more ST you're gonna suffer in your aoe, bleed just outperforms it overall

feral basin
#

Yeah seen the whispyr vid and hybird bad

runic hinge
#

Hybrid is bad and cleave is like 4% more St for -10% overall

feral basin
#

Thought I'd check if there was a cook id missed, after playing sub for most of the season start it feels weird having no ST

runic hinge
#

Can just play sub lol

#

That's your ST answer

feral basin
#

True

blissful pumice
#

just play both

#

there are keys for assa and keys for sub^^

runic hinge
#

Assa is good in the mega aoe keys and sub is good in the keys you can't drag trash onto bosses

blissful pumice
#

floodgate and halls are good for assa and gambit + streets are sub favored

#

and its fun to swap specs, keeps the class fresh

One sentence horror story

normal trout
#

Hello guys my friend has too much ego so he wont never come to ask this, i think he is doing missplays on his rotation bcs on st he has a 90, and normally u have around 96-99 if u do it perfectly(thats what he says) could u point me some mistakes he made in this fight pls

coral ibex
#

his opener is wrong, you shiv before DM as fatebound

#

he sends kb at 40s with no cold blood

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

got the tier set bug

#

and just went mongo

#

this also fucks up cold blood

#

cannot be casting rupture during cold blood ever

subtle tundra
#

chungus

normal trout
#

ye

#

ty guys

#

now idk how to explain him if he has ego

#

and refuses to listen

coral ibex
#

dont like it when my options are refresh before pandemic or risk bad cp gen and drop it while i build+cast 2 envenoms

balmy condor
coral ibex
#

lol

balmy condor
#

median/average are around 50% in heroic

#

he's literally the average

severe meadow
#

Career ending screenshot you could send him right there

coral ibex
#

"im not average, im 98% fractilus parse gamer"

balmy condor
#

like if he was insane or something then okay, ego accepted I guess

#

but he didn't even get AotC last tier averaging blue logs

#

so I'm not sure why he would have an ego

severe meadow
coral ibex
#

brutal

normal trout
#

bcs i tell him

#

youre doing it bad

#

and he is like nooono

#

bro even me having this logs i say i fuck up

balmy condor
#

like I'm not trying to shit on the guy, but he's just fine

#

he's like

#

an average casual heroic raider

normal trout
#

this are my hc logs

#

and i say i missclick sometimes

balmy condor
#

sure

normal trout
#

if he has lower

#

eh cant make it perfect

#

but im trying to help him

#

and is disgusting

coral ibex
#

if your friend thinks he's god and wont change, then its not your job to force it

#

maybe ask him why god has a 57% avg performance in heroic

normal trout
#

yes but i dont wanna take into my 16-17 mythic keys

#

a guy that is not doing well his rotation

balmy condor
#

then tell him that

#

like legit just be honest with the guy

#

and tell him hey you're not a good enough player for these keys

normal trout
#

i wish no1 has to tell a friend he is bad to push

#

bcs is a bit hard

#

but ye youre right

runic hinge
#

I don’t think I’m good enough for 16/17 keys

balmy condor
#

it's even worse to lie to him and bring him and ruin the vibe

#

like your options are:

  1. tell him the truth even if it hurts his ego
  2. lie to him and troll your keys and make the entire group upset
iron turtle
#

This just feels like it was a roundabout way to show your parses off lol

normal trout
#

nono

balmy condor
#

I mean he showed off a 98 in heroic

#

it's not that impressive

normal trout
#

idc about hc parses

balmy condor
#

but ye

#

you just gotta

normal trout
#

i was just trying to say if im fuckign sometimes my rotation

balmy condor
#

tell your friend that he's not playing as hardcore as the rest of the guys

normal trout
#

ill tell him this ss

#

so he checks

so I got araz ritual forge. Do I play Deathstalker in ST because it lines up well/better, or use Fate even tho I can only use Trinket every other Go?

#

Got 4PC and it usually says fate is better in ST fights, but is it the case with Ritual forge aswell?

main bridge
#

i don't think you'd play DS in ST in any situation

#

you'd just be griefing

#

you can always sim it though

static glacier
#

Yo where’s the pin saying all the bugs are fixed and we got a 3% buff

quaint nimbus
#

If my guild doesn’t want to mythic raid, but i can get mythic pacemaker is it worth pugging for the antenna

static glacier
#

I don’t see any trade off other than time really

quaint nimbus
#

Ty

waxen oyster
#

gap between pacemaker and antenna

#

is probs smaller than gap between forge and signet

fierce mirage
#

hey all! looking for mentor/etc, someone knowledgable in looking over logs etc to help improve. currently running an average score of 71.9% on heroic via wowlogs. DM me! Thanks!

static glacier
#

Tbh a full set of heroic tier along with dungeon trinkets and crafted items is enough to clear any content tbh

#

While we chase after antenna etc you don’t need them

quaint nimbus
#

I would just feel a little silly not going for it if the jump from pacemaker to antenna was absurd

#

But if it’s not that large then I’ll just pray for good vault

oblique flare
#

We'll get dinars this season too, or?

Then just try to get a kill on moth and buy the trinket

main bridge
#

yes

quaint nimbus

wait i totally forgot about dinars haha

quaint nimbus

Dinars are so new to me still
I came back a little before the mid point of last season after a 3 year long break

#

If your cd timers desync from pace uptime / having downtime cause its buff to drop

Antenna obviously can be wasted too but it’s a lot more robust at delivering value in my experience, even if less consistent

What do you guys find the most efficient way to apply garrote and rupture on targets? I just click tab click tab until i fee like enough is on but I cant tell how many of the adds have it on. There has to be a better way

unborn rain
#

u should only be aoe garroting in IC windows

#

so u shouldnt need to tab target

mint urchin
#

You still need mut for caustic

unborn rain
#

yeah

mint urchin
unborn rain
#

rupture higher hp targets so ur not tabbing so much

Do you guys actively like your mythic raiding guild or is just a job to you guys

balmy condor
#

some fights are more jobs than others

#

especially if you don't have much to do mechanically and you're just waiting for other people to do their assigned jobs

#

it can be a little annoying

#

but all in all it's time you spend with your friends so it's still fun

frozen iris
#

I dont have any friends in my guild and actively dislike my RL. Just a not mesh well kinda guild.

main bridge
#

so why are you in it

coral ibex
#

its not a job i dont get paid

#

lol

frozen iris
#

Thats a great question. No better option id say. I like mythic raiding so i just deal with it. But im looking to find another

coral ibex
#

the reason you go to your job isn't because you like it, its because you get paid

static glacier
#

for me pushing wr ended up with me realising it makes me quit the game bc I end up in guilds with people I resent

#

it made me tolerate really really fucked racism too at times

frozen iris
#

I dont have a CE to my name and neither does the current guild im in but i need experience. I gave it a couple weeks to see if i meshed well or not and im finding i dont mesh well.

static glacier
#

now I go for vibes and a team of similarly skilled players to me

frozen iris
#

Im not good enought to be in top 100 guild and nor do i want to but i do want to be in a CE guild and i think im good enough to do that

static glacier
#

if they can't replace you i'd stay till they can, and i'd expect them to actively recruit or i'd even find them another rogue

#

then say your farewells and gl in next guild

#

or if that is horrible for you just gquit, it's a game you don't really owe anyone anything, even if I feel like I do at times

#

also best tip for climbing wr / improving in general is shoot as high as you can

#

best time to learn is when you have the pressure of being trial and weaker /weakest player in the roster

#

i've noticed I am really solid now compared to pre-sl before I went through like 10 guilds or something

#

it helped me learn what really matters, shed the ego and play for the kill / team and what I really wanted out of the game.

main bridge
#

the last time i quit this game was because i was raiding mythic with people i didn't like

#

it was miserable

frozen iris
#

Im getting their. Pugging m+ keys by myself is not fun but doesnt seem like anybody makes an effor to join me

static glacier
#

for me an active discord is mandatory

main bridge
#

sounds like there is no reason for you to be there

#

pugging is also terrible

#

join the recruitment discord and see if you get any bites

static glacier
#

when I was in meaningful choice I had a similar experience, they were good and they're now solidly hof but I felt no social attatchment and left

frozen iris
#

Only reason i am is just because theres no better option. Quickly realizing that its not worth it.

main bridge
#

the difference between playing with friends and not in this game is night and day

static glacier
frozen iris
#

Agreed. Legion was the last time i found a guild i mesh well with and we are still friends to this day. Trying to find that while getting CE is not easy it seems

#

and play with them a ton as well as guildies

Man rogue talents are so annoying, Sanguine Blades is fun in AoE, but soon as I hit single target its a pain in my butt

static glacier
#

IGNORE

balmy condor
#

because you struggle to be under 50% or

static glacier
#

the sang blades optimisation in st

#

if you're not like super comfortable on the spec and can play it eyes closed

balmy condor
#

the sang blades optimization is not letting it happen

#

idk exactly what mo's saying

#

but you don't go above 50% for sang

static glacier
# balmy condor idk exactly what mo's saying

im saying trying to play the optimisation can if not comfortable with the spec lead to losses that are much more significant than the small gain sang blades gives when played around in st

balmy condor
#

yeah but it's just not good even in theory

static glacier
#

it's like 0.5% or smth right?

balmy condor
#

no

static glacier
#

how much is it? of all people you would know

balmy condor
#

0.15%

static glacier
#

bro you're memeing us right

#

thats within error

balmy condor
#

and I'm not sure if that's real or not

#

it is indeed

main bridge
#

that's why everyone says to ignore sanguine blades

static glacier
#

I think the issue is with all the other prios the sang blades optimisation actually comes up rather rarely unless you highroll blindside out of your mind

fierce pivot
#

is that just ST

static glacier
#

yes

#

sang blades carries our aoe nowadays, partly due to the bug

balmy condor
#

I mean in aoe you have infinite energy

#

so sanguine isn't an issue

#

and in ST you just do as you always do and spam your energy away

static glacier
#

im guessing you removed the command

#

since the gain is so wack

#

I remember it having a higher gain, still small though

balmy condor
#

what command

balmy condor
static glacier
balmy condor
#

and that was last season with CT/Rup on the tier bonus

static glacier
balmy condor
static glacier
#

yeye

balmy condor
#

we've never had a command for sanguine

static glacier
#

another one of my schizo moments

#

or maybe it was part of another command

#

mentioning it

coral ibex
#

is there some play pattern i'm missing that results in my rupture pandemic window almost always being during cold blood

#

this is gonna be my joker moment

balmy condor
#

it's always been insanely minor, incredibly difficult

#

I removed it from the guides at the start of s3

static glacier
#

it just helped free up mental headway to deal with the fuckery that happened in p1

balmy condor
#

the only thing even remotely close to sanguine is uh

#

!energy

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.

coral ibex
#

i guess i can just refresh early

balmy condor
#

but that says nothing about sanguine

#

so idk

waxen oyster
#

so today i did db

coral ibex
#

feels really wrong to refresh before pandemic

waxen oyster
#

flew through the boat

#

and ended up in a different phase

balmy condor
coral ibex
#

but what if pandemic is during cold blood

balmy condor
#

you don't rupture

coral ibex
#

i just drop it?

static glacier
coral ibex
#

ok

balmy condor
static glacier
coral ibex
#

i dont take rotational instructions from clankers

balmy condor
#

but rupturing before cds/before pandemic

#

is just insanely wrong

waxen oyster
#

yk i miss when env buff uptime mattered

#

not this yolo slam envs

static glacier
#

the question I want to ask now is there no way to ensure this situation never happens without potentially violating your total number of envenom casts on a fight?

coral ibex
#

yea i havent been refreshing early

#

just dropping rupture

waxen oyster
#

do you not refresh early if going into a kb?

balmy condor
#

hell no

static glacier
coral ibex
#

im not an expert but i know i dont refresh early

static glacier
#

it's actually hard to lose an entire cast of a dot spell by clipping early if you're remotely paying attention

#

we cast few ruptures over the typical fight

balmy condor
#

what is the argument here

static glacier
#

the gain was not having dot refresh windows fall in times I was dealing with cds and dodging webs etc at the same time during prog

#

it let me focus on the fight and damage more

#

so i'd not lose more damage in misplaying udring cds

#

basically misplay on purpose for ease of play to make up for my own shortcomings.

balmy condor
#

I mean, okay I guess? what's wrong with letting rupture go into pandemic during webs

#

it's a full 8+ second window

#

you're telling me webs takes you 8 seconds?

static glacier
#

iirc it at first aligned with dn then I had to go off boss to pop the circle during the last circle set in p1

#

so i ruptured slightly early so i'd not have to deal with it at all during dm

#

or something to that effect

balmy condor
#

this seems incredibly convoluted for something that's just a non-issue

#

but whatever works I guess

static glacier
#

anyways the question I pose is

#

how often does this even lose you a rupture

#

over a fight

#

you normally won't cast any more ruptures if you clip like 4-5s over a fight

fierce pivot
#

Master Assassin doesnt show up on charater sheets, but we get the 20% right?

static glacier
#

than if you didn't

balmy condor
#

it's about losing envenoms, not ruptures

static glacier
fierce pivot
#

so do we have to use WA to get a real time number?

static glacier

fierce pivot
#

Valadation that the thing does that the thning says it does

#

cause blizzard cant make code for balls

fallow canopy
#

it does tho so

balmy condor
#

what is the point of any of this conversation

balmy condor
#

the weakaura can't just magically know if something works

fierce pivot
#

Playing rogue really gives trust issues

balmy condor
#

hit a dummy for 15 hours and log it

static glacier
balmy condor
#

and compare crit chances on melee hits during ma versus not

#

if you want to verify

balmy condor
#

so like

#

your argument is that misplays on paper don't translate into real loses, but you're just introducing a new rule you have to remember to follow and execute on, which could be equal, but also might be worse

#

fucking why

static glacier
#

bro Im not introducing a rule

balmy condor
#

you literally are

static glacier
#

thats not my intent

#

it was for one fight at one part to just help me bc I ended up distracted when it would be time to refresh rupture and occasionally dropped it which is bad

balmy condor
#

you're saying "refresh rupture early by x if y", regardless of what those numbers are or when it happens, you encounter a situation in the fight where that is a decision you need to make which is not the norm

static glacier
#

outside of that one thing I follow standard rules as best I can

#

im not trying to grief on purpose here

balmy condor
#

yes, I get that

#

but the option is

do optimal thing with standard rule
do optimal thing or maybe worse sometimes with standard rule + bonus rule

#

in what world is that better

#

in theory or practicality

buoyant herald
#

at the end of the day simplicity in recommendations is a close second to optimisation so sure you can go your own way on whatever but it shouldn't necessarily be advocated for

static glacier
#

you are ignoring the idk the word for it rn gain of making me less likely to misplay later in the fight when I have confirmed that this intentional misplay doesn't grief me in the fight at large

balmy condor
static glacier
#

anyways, I can just learn to let rupture sometimes drop if it conflicts with cb

balmy condor
#

whatever man

static glacier

thanks for the talk

So....lilly and crystal sim more then forge and prism or any other combo yet forge/prism are S tiers? What am i missing? This is in ST/FB sim, patch 5min

static glacier
#

and what situation are you simming?

kindred imp
#

so 710

static glacier
#

is this for m+ or raid?

buoyant herald
#

forge is s tier if playing DS

kindred imp
static glacier
#

what are you simming

#

patchwerk?

buoyant herald
#

and assass doesn't do 2 x on use

kindred imp
fierce pivot
#

Soooo I thought I'd give that logging suggestion a try, but Im too stupid to figure out how to keep details combine all my out of combat data

static glacier
#

for patchwerk we wouldn't use araz if lily is avaliable since we're 90s class

buoyant herald
#

only thing is i'd expect prism to beat out lily but if you're low on mastery maybe not

static glacier
#

and passive 2nd is standard

buoyant herald
#

either way they're gonna be close

static glacier
#

since unlike sub our dps outside of cds isn't criminally low

buoyant herald
#

prism is just more flexible

kindred imp
#

stats are:

unbuffed

#

so follow the sim i guess yeah?

static glacier
#

ye

#

all ima say is prism is v strong due to condensing power into burst, so if there's a specific target that MUST die it's the best trinket even if it sims the same overall

#

it's a much lesser example of the situation with sub running 2x on use instead of myth antenna and prism

#

in your spot i'd just play lily tho

#

im lazy

#

prism needs timing on 3mins and if you die gg ur trink use vanished

kindred imp
#

ye ill play lily and crystal for the moment. I gotta sim m+ too to see whats best there. thx

static glacier
#

since stacks reset on death

#

fwiw thats what my sims are telling me to use too

#

I have pace prism lily and crystal at 704 (not sending gilded into em yet)

#

still have a ton of other myth items to put crests into, never really been in this situation before

kindred imp
#

ye fair

coral ibex
#

prism will be best if it is equal ilvl to forge

#

and better than lily

#

in m+

static glacier

prism goes hard in m+

you can also just use prism in raid

Getting Started with Warcraftlogs https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-to-use-warcraft-logs-6341
Logging your combat is a very powerful tool, and the main way of finding mistakes and improving yourself. Logging your raid, mythic+, or even just when you hit a dummy can be great way to learn!
Here's some common things to look at for rogues:

Checking your resources/overcap: Table -> Resources -> Energy/Combo Points from the dropdown
Buff Uptime and trigger amount such as adr/envenom/symbols: Table -> Buffs
Checking casts: Timeline -> Casts (shows sequencing) or Table -> Casts (for cast overview)

9.5m is monster but yeah its definitely easier to do big damage when one of your dps isn't doing any lol

static glacier
# normal mist 10

you and the tank overperformed and the feral underperformed / probably misplayed berserk and didn't get enough ravages out, other than in cds feral aoe is largely just dot based and they don't have sudden demise

aka you stole his damage

mmmm I could take way bone spike and get kings bane back on the bleed build

cause the crits give CP?

static glacier
balmy condor

well without counting the crits

#

just pound for pound, fok is kind of awful

amber brook
#

but the brew doing 6m is insane to me

balmy condor
#

bone spike is like 300-350 cp in a full dungeon

normal mist
#

My singular focus cranking those almost 6%

#

imagine if it worked with spatter!!!

balmy condor
#

you'd get another uhhhhhhhh

#

like 2% maybe?

#

huge

#

take the bug away from sang, give it to singular focus

normal mist

7% would be touching tips with my rupture dot

balmy condor

god this is confusing trying to understand how all this works

balmy condor
#

how what all works

normal mist
#

probably the spec

#

and all the minor interactions

balmy condor
#

yeh there's a ton of interactions

fierce pivot
#

well bone spike does garbage damage on paper, but gives good combo point generation over time

balmy condor
#

most of them are just + damage whatever

#

don't really gotta care about 80% of it ngl

Can they fix momentum of despair already pepehands

balmy condor

you wanna play deathstalker on forgeweaver that bad?

Nope, just want it for m+ back

normal mist
#

hm?

#

I was under the impression we went with follow the blood in m+

balmy condor
#

they're equal-ish yeah

#

momentum wouldn't do much of anything for m+

oblique flare
#

Momentum sims better for me ST and feels better for cp generation

#

I mean assa st is shit anyway, but I take what I can

balmy condor
#

i guess

normal mist
#

FoK in st tho

oblique flare
#

Might be tripping, but I always felt like cp were better/ more reliable with momentum (using FoK in aoe)

normal mist
#

idk how much of a win is that but i'm also sleepy

oblique flare
#

Increases ct crit damage

#

But I mainly want it for the cp from aoe

balmy condor
#

momentum is more cp yes, but you only really get more overcap

#

in aoe you're already getting a billionity thousand cp

runic hinge
#

Just crit every Fok and it doesn’t matter

fair enough

[trivial] What's the Point of the Rogue Class?I started playing as a Dwarf Hunter, but the chainmail armor looked so ugly that I decided to try a new class. I saw that Rogue transmogs are super cool, and at the start of this season, everyone was hyping up how strong Rogues were, so I rolled an Assassination Rogue. After two weeks of playing, I feel like I'm suffering.The difficulty of mastering this class and the rewards just don't match up. In Mythic+ dungeons, Rogues have zero utility. My Hunter, even if played poorly, at least has Bloodlust. For single-target fights, I'm barely keeping up with the tank's DPS. For AoE, I have to micromanage DoTs on every mob while also watching my energy bar. I'm constantly spamming defensive cooldowns, and my self-healing skills can't stop for a second. Sometimes, when the tank pulls mobs into water, I'm just left standing there, useless. Honestly, aside from the cool transmogs, this class feels like it has nothing going for it.

I cant wrap my heads looking at 45 and 130

no cb, less punished for bad dances due to bigger cdr

I hate this weird numbers

waxen oyster
#

sub is honestly in its easiest state

#

since amirdrassil

#

imo

static glacier
#

agree, i found shadowdust easier than now

#

then again sub was raid only back then

#

didn't really see play in keys

waxen oyster
#

i mean, you could it just took alot of preplanning

static glacier
#

it was viable iirc

#

just giga lame to play

#

and both the other specs cranked keys

waxen oyster
#

i played crackshot outlaw

#

all of my keys

static glacier
#

ye, outlaw pilled that season too, did like 30-40 sin keys too though

waxen oyster
#

idk the sin does tank damage narrative

#

is pretty far from true

#

but it is worse on st than sub

#

in keys

#

There is no real way to buff sin's st in key builds without turbobuffing its aoe.

eternal sandal
#

eh, im sometimes on par with my brew friend but im kinda bad and its only on certain fights where he greeds for stagger.

waxen oyster
#

like yeah you can do 3.5 ish in keys build, which i guess is low compared to sub doing over 4.5

cunning needle

i dont think sub overalls are going to be higher tbh

im kinda just accepting we're fb pilled

ig hunters if you're playing assa on it

balmy condor

follow the blood is better in mid-large aoe

#

momentum is better in st and cleave

waxen oyster
#

hmm

#

thought mid s2 they found that

#

follow was just better straight up

#

or was that due to tier

static glacier
balmy condor
#

follow was generically better for a bleed build with the s2 tier, but it isn't all that great on the other builds

#

in s3 now it's kinda whatever

mossy sundial
static glacier
#

also im pretty sure soulbinder

#

is lowest pull boss in the raid

#

it's deffo easier than plexus

waxen oyster
#

Yeah i mean

#

plexus isnt a freebie like vexie

static glacier
#

anyways ye ur right ds is the play

#

soulbinder has good timers for it

waxen oyster
#

i mean i would imagine araz is a ds fight

#

but idk i played sub for it

#

you have constant spawning adds why would it not be

static glacier
#

honestly

#

araz is just sub

waxen oyster
#

its just better built for sub

static glacier
#

our dmg pattern simply doesn't match sub being able to line dances to adds

waxen oyster
#

if you forget you're useless on pylons

static glacier
#

and dmg amp is better for sub

waxen oyster
static glacier
#

but ye

waxen oyster
#

yeah what i meant

static glacier
#

the mark situation is cringe

waxen oyster
#

sub you're doing maybe max 100m ish

#

on both pylons

#

if you squeeze proper

#

im behind tanks usually

#

if they ever fix mark situation to not bug on pylons

#

you'd prob have 0 excuse not to play ds

#

if assa

static glacier
#

maybe one could argue better amp phase dmg as fb but overall ds will just do more boss dmg im fairly sure

#

with how much funnel there is

balmy condor
#

ds would do more damage if bugs get fixed yeh

#

losing singular and momentum really sucks on araz

#

those are so huge for ds

eternal sandal
#

yeah its sadge playing DS on araz, first weeks i straight up played Fate and just never left the boss until pylons ofc.
then i tried ds and did more damage wensday so now there is no going back 😢

balmy condor
#

okay well that shouldn't be happening

#

ds definitely does less right now

#

like the only way ds has a fighting chance is with momentum/singular, and neither of those are functional

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
