the first one is mut isnt it?

#

south prawn

Dangerous ping, like I need any of that

Glad it helped

If you swap spec while blindside is up it bugs out and you need to relog iirc

Assassination will receive another round of bugs for patch 11.2.

World of Warcraft guide writer Whispyr has released a new list of rules regarding the Rogue APL. Our damage scales, or as he puts it… inflates. Check out Whispyr Inflation Rule 34 for more information.

coral ibex
#

nobody can ever help identify the bug

#

it only goes away by completely rebooting

oak tangle
#

bliz removing mut?? 👀

#

@balmy condor i have a question about simming that idk if it is possible or not to do, lmk when you're around

south prawn
analog field
#

@balmy condor i have mythic lily and champion prism and pace, sim suggests not using pace. Should i follow ? if yes in m+ or raid or both ?

#

what's your instinct

oak tangle
#

my instinct, is he not gonna like that question XD

pure moth
#

analog field
#

i agree but the motto is trust the robot 😛

jaunty sky
analog field
#

irrelevant

#

i want to play what does more dmg

woven frost
jaunty sky
#

Sprry i phrased that wrong

#

CAN you play double on use to full potential

analog field
#

still irrelevant i think

#

i can't play anything in full potential

#

we are here so we try our best

oak tangle
#

ummmmm.....

jaunty sky
#

Yeah but if you misplay double on use you literally only have 1.5 trinkets

oak tangle
#

then the sim is irrelevant

jaunty sky
#

Instead of two

coral ibex
#

double on use isnt hard to use in raid, you just bind lily to dm and prism to vanish and then vanish early for the 3m dm

analog field
#

i mean if it is the better choice i will try to do it even if it is difficult

#

its like saying dont take antena

#

coz you will miss orbs

#

ok maybe i will but what does it matter

jaunty sky
#

Ok then pick bigger number on sim

rotund jungle
#

what would u take?

analog field
#

that's why i ask whisp , maybe he can explain that the number is wrong or that i shouldn't for X reason

rotund jungle
#

got forg and nether on hc

#

playing sub and assa

#

boots on hc

analog field
#

sim it, but if you want more assa it is antenna on sub idk it can be boots ?

rotund jungle
#

Trinket sims 200k better on sub in D Slice and trinket sims 40 k better on assa in ST

balmy condor

#

Cause you need to vanish with both dm and kb buff up

coral ibex
#

?

#

it doesn't matter when you vanish as long as it procs on edge case flips

#

you can vanish before the first shiv

#

or after DM

#

or right before your next envenom

analog field
#

with prism actually you have to vanish before even DM i think

coral ibex
#

if ur concerned about it you can just separately bind your trinkets

#

but it doesn't matter where you vanish as long as it procs on edge case flips

#

antennaglorp Vanishing On Fatebound antennaglorp

  • you vanish for double jeopardy, a Fatebound talent
  • this causes your next flip to flip an additional coin, and this coin can be an edge-case coin
  • because of this, you want to vanish when you know the next flip is an edge-case flip
  • edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.
  • you should be vanishing every 3 minutes, lining up with every other deathmark, and this will also align with netherprism every 3 minutes for maximum burst

edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.

#

yeah but with prism you wanna buff the coins

#

i remember a convo from whisp I think

28th day of checking pins

balmy condor
#

If you macro prism to vanish you want to vanish before deathmark ideally yes

#

But it’s not really that important

Can we assume the bugs won’t be addressed this year? Maybe in midnight if we’re lucky

They will add more bugs

coral ibex
#

i send ion an email every day begging him to block any patches that fix rogue bugs

grappling hook has been bugged in the overworld since sepulcher

#

obv different bugs have different prios but just to put as an example

jaunty sky
#

Killing spree was unchanged in it's mechanics since it's inception in WotLK before it was changed A MONTH AGO

midnight scroll
#

how do we use netherprism on deathstalker?

marsh fjord
jaunty sky
#

every 2 mins

midnight scroll
#

oooh nice i'm an idiot

#

thanks

marsh fjord
#

I didnt wanted to say it

jaunty sky
#

I sometimes skip a prism use on DM in M+ so i can giga blast the next one but I'm very sure that's not useful

#

but it does feel good

marsh fjord
#

I mean thats kinda worth it if its like the mini boss in halls and so on

#

it actually saves you time

jaunty sky
#

yeah that's the part where it's most likely not worth it

#

the spots i decide to do it

coral ibex
#

but you will have like 12-14 stacks every 2 minutes

#

skipping a use is just a massive waste of stacks

jaunty sky
#

yeah but 18>14

coral ibex
#

yea but 28 > 18

jaunty sky
#

i know it's not good

coral ibex
#

its not only not good

#

its strictly worse

jaunty sky
#

that's what i'm sayin

marsh fjord
#

as example im hitting 3th boss in halls. my DM is coming off cooldown. boss is 40%. netherprism is high stacks. im just holding for mini boss

#

Also im talking high keys. like 16/17s

#

Where mini add needs to die before first healing

jaunty sky
#

yeah that's one of the spots i hold as well if i remember to

#

but also my highest key done rn is a 13 on rogue

marsh fjord
#

Yeah i dont think it matters to much

#

at that key level

coral ibex
#

yea i mean holding cds entirely is one thing

#

sending dm with no trinket so your next use 2 minutes later has 4 more stacks

#

is another

runic hinge
jaunty sky
#

it doesnt in the sense of 'does it make or break the key' but i feel like if tank pulls the guy down it's a very high chance to one phase the guy

#

which is more fun than doing that dance like 2 to 3 times

coral ibex
#

meh its probably better to just send and then swap to wound poison for the heal cast

marsh fjord
runic hinge
#

Singular focus is kinda whatever id like them to actually fix FB tier so it's not randomly annoying

marsh fjord
#

Yeah talking specfially about FB

#

I dont care about the damage loss of DS

jaunty sky
#

yeah FB tier unsyncing is so disorienting

golden loom
#

I almost had a repeat of my fract RNG on plexus by getting the tier set bug into double cds in execute

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

should be like

or after

if not

smthiing like that

yeah 4:15

didnt know the timings ...

jaunty sky

also use your trinket

Is the soulbinder build shown in wowhead the same we use in mythic? My damage was so low last night

instead of once the whole fight

holy shit my damage sucks since getting antenna + prism idk what i'm doing wrong

well yes

basically as soon as 3 are on screen?

but sometimes fok will not crit

and only give u 1cp

I take all advice I can get

balmy condor
jolly stirrup
royal lantern
#

used to cleaving stuff, and then 3 weeks into the tier the stuff you cleaved just dies in 3 seconds

jolly stirrup
# balmy condor 5*

so basically I only use FoK on Naazin when we are in the middle and all adds come?

midnight scroll
jolly stirrup
#

otherwise mutilate?

balmy condor
#

might actually be 6 now, it was almost 6 last season, I assume with more gear and more mastery it's probably 6 now but it's whatever

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

idk, if its more then 3 enemys and i have the Deathstalker FoK thingy up

#

im gonna use FoK

#

stop me

balmy condor
#

well if you have clear the witnesses up you press it on 2 targets

#

that's not in question

#

that shit hits like a truck

jolly stirrup
#

and I hold 2nd DM and KB window for Add group in middle?

balmy condor
#

yes

jolly stirrup
#

or use on cd still

#

okok

balmy condor
#

2:05 and 4:30

jolly stirrup
#

I hope my damage will be better tomorrow

jolly stirrup
#

always?

balmy condor
#

yes

jolly stirrup
#

So I can open with normal rotation, then hold until 2:05 and 4:30

balmy condor
#

well 2:05 isn't a hold

#

you're always going to be late to that one

royal lantern

but yeha

Ye lines up

but hold for 4:30

Guys fairly new to rogue. I like the play style of Assassination, but still in a spot where learning Sub or Outlaw is an option. I'm currently only running +12s, no raiding. If I plan to go for 3500 io should I stick to Assassination or move on to any spec?

you can get to 3,5k as assa

This has now been fixed, +3% dps gained

fateboundheads~~ Fatebound Heads is bugged and has been the entire season.~~

initial % damage doesn't work correctly on skills, only the +2% per stack works. This causes Fatebound Heads to be terrible compared to fateboundtails Fatebound Tails

The impact of this is around a 3% loss, but can cause bigger swings as flipping a chain of heads is just simply not good.

the damage loss we potentially may have as fatebound could be more than we think

but its hard to say

#

but it sucks about the heads one

balmy condor
#

why would it be more

wooden radish
#

I'm not sure if the tails damage coming before the buff is implemented in simc yet, but i think there could be a minor -% from that once it does

#

I think simc currently thinks tails damage comes after the buff application

balmy condor
#

I mean sure

#

but simc also doesn't account for tails coins proccing seal fate

Yesterday i killed myself by immediately pressing 45s cds when i saw the last pack before dragon in gambit being pulled

#

Didnt even get a 2nd global off

thorn thorn
sterile swallow
#

Oh fun more bugs. Really not expecting them to fix any of these until midnight.

thorn thorn
#

I wont lie

#

When I get a fdk I put timelessness on the tank and hope they die to aggro problems

#

Cuz I hate fotm players

jaunty sky
#

Very fair

#

All they gotta do is wait 2 seconds

#

Same with devokers

#

'Dont send all your damage immediately when you see the mob move' challenge

#

Very hard tbh

#

Coming from rogue

thorn thorn
#

I dont typically see others devs since I play aug, most groups I play with lately are prot pal, rdruid, fdk, and either hunter or mage

jaunty sky
#

Yeah i play like 10 to 12 atm

#

Fucking around until new PoE league in a month

marsh fjord
thorn thorn
#

Waiting for legion remix

jaunty sky
#

And i didnt play lightning arrow

#

But it needs SO MUCH work for me to even consider sinking time into endgame

marsh fjord
#

Game is pretty solid now but they gotta change how towers works and how juicing the maps work

#

if they can nail that

#

then its cheff kiss

jaunty sky
#

I dont like that expanding atlas thing(not a deal breaker) and the map layouts are horrible

#

Esp bc i just wanna be able to pick one

#

Like PoE1

marsh fjord
#

You can

jaunty sky
#

Ah maybe i didnt get that far idk

#

I did a few maps and lost interest

marsh fjord
#

Your not forced in any of them

#

did t16's juiced my build up tot 100 divine

#

did uber

#

and pissed off

severe meadow
#

PoE2 is just tower gaming

marsh fjord
severe meadow
#

That’s why I don’t care for it for now

marsh fjord
#

Now the meta is findign 3 towers in the same area but 9 tablets in them. juice your map and get rich

thorn thorn
severe meadow
#

But they said next patch is giga focused on end game

#

So we’ll see

jaunty sky
#

I just hope they put another banger league for PoE1

#

Merc was great

severe meadow
#

I sunk almost 2k hours in poe1 so hopefully it gets fleshed out more

#

Merc was great, I wouldn’t want it to go core tho I don’t think

balmy condor
#

it can go core just not the hiring

jaunty sky
#

Im close to 5k on steam for PoE1, think with the few leagues i played on standalone its over 5k

balmy condor
#

make em randomly spawn, you pick gear or currency

#

gg

severe meadow
#

Yeah that’s fine

jaunty sky
#

Nah the hire part is the cool part

#

But also impossible to balance

#

Guess they could replace rogue exiles in a way

#

Or supplement them

severe meadow
#

Yeah because of doryanis

jaunty sky
#

Like chance to spawn infamous merc instead of exile, has 1 unique, well rolles rares and some good currency to choose from

jaunty sky
#

OSin is insanely busted on them

severe meadow
#

The two most broken shit was doryanis and sin

jaunty sky
#

Just using them as a 2nd AG is really strong

thorn thorn
#

Lads

severe meadow
#

I put about 2 mirror investment into flicker strike

#

I actually had a ton of fun

jaunty sky
#

Garb on them was very nice tho, they gotta do something about the action speed shit

severe meadow
#

Gave away my double corrupt mageblood and stopped playing the league

jaunty sky
#

With petrify

severe meadow
jaunty sky
#

I think i had ~a mirror into viper strike

thorn thorn
#

What is your hottest take

jaunty sky
#

Also very fun

#

I was gonna try to get FRoSS up and running but it was too much work to research and build another char that cant do more than my current char

Blue post about hotfixes (brewfest) almost got me

you expect them to actually fix our bugs at all?

severe meadow
#

I mean not really but blizzard does stuff sometimes

#

Like fix brew fest

jaunty sky
frozen glacier
#

me when i return to the rogue discord after a week of playing BM hunter to see a new pin and its just another uncovered bug

limpid trench
#

Oh, a harmless bug? Hotfix in seconds. A damage-loss bug? Guess it’s invisible. Just my opinion.

thorn thorn
#

Dont worry lads they are saving the bugfixes for midnight

sharp mural
#

considering rogue is an old class and one of the least played atm, they surely think it's not important enough and they'd rather focus on popular classes

limpid trench
#

maybe by 12.25 they’ll finally have all the bugs fixed…

thorn thorn
#

If its too much effort to dedicate to fixing it they wont bother

sharp mural
thorn thorn
#

I wouldnt go that far

earnest flume
#

would a hero netherprism outperform myth lily on FB? or just sim? i assume it does outperform forge on DS

thorn thorn
#

If either solution takes too much dev time then they just wont do it

#

Especially with a new xpac coming up

sharp mural
# thorn thorn If either solution takes too much dev time then they just wont do it

At some point they gotta admit they utterly failed and must fix their shit asap.
Remake is much needed. Not only every specs of rogue are based on old af mechanics, they're also either bugged, undertuned, or it isn't fun at all.
Rogue as a whole has less usage than Warrior Fury in high M+ keys, and that says a lot considering I never cross Fury warriors in my keys

thorn thorn
thorn thorn

Fury is one of the "more popular" off meta picks corncerned

vernal shadow
rugged sinew
#

Hello, do you guys keep tracking your energy to not get <30 to prevent thistle tea autocast?

sharp mural
thorn thorn
#

Fury alone is almost as popular as all 3 rogue specs in 15+ keys

sharp mural
thorn thorn
#

That still puts it in a good spot Yep

#

Its in the middle

#

After warrior the popularity starts to drop off hard

main bridge
sharp mural
#

imagine having 3 dps specs and all three combined cannot top a 5% dps pick rate lmao

thorn thorn
#

Rogue not meta

#

Idk what your point is but generally the higher you go the higher the pick rate of the meta specs is

rugged sinew
thorn thorn
#

Less popular or less meta specs will naturally lose popularity

#

Just how it works

limpid trench
#

They’re only fixing this CD issue now? Seriously?

thorn thorn
#

But also some specs have it far worse than rogue

#

Evoker DPS isnt popular currently

#

And neither is WW

# thorn thorn But also some specs have it far worse than rogue

I might be old school, but I do believe a 3 dps spec class should have at least one doing decent results.
Having less than 5% usage all spec combined isn't just "off meta". It's a HUGE sign of something broken.

As for Evoker, yeah, they're in the same kind of trouble, sure. Worst ? I dunno, last class to be released, they look like shit and nobody wanted to play them even when they were meta. Evoker player rates always were insanely low. Even then, just because another class is going bad, doesn't mean nothing have to be done to one of them.

thorn thorn
#

Yea the thing being broken is frost dk going the entire xpac in its current state lol

#

Its not like its unplayably undertuned

sharp mural
#

Havoc and BM are doing insanely great aswell lmao

thorn thorn
#

All specs can put out the numbers

#

But nothing is going to be on the level of fdk

sharp mural
#

Outlaw can't for instance

thorn thorn
#

fair and balanced spec

sharp mural
#

I mean, we struggle battling against tank druids lmao

thorn thorn
#

Zac your spec is literally unplayable rn why are you griefing

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

thorn thorn
#

A havoc or fdk would prolly do more if piloted well

#

But that was a 20 gambit and 19 floodgate respectively, so like i said its not like it doesnt pull the numbers

main bridge
#

It’s ok I am too

#

Still don’t have boots or a good trinket

sharp mural
#

with much higher ilvl

thorn thorn
#

Yea but you are comparing broken specs to one that is normally tuned

#

It doesnt help your argument

#

FDK will shit on almost any normally tuned spec because its just profanely overpowered

main bridge
#

Yeah FDK owns. Fun to play too

#

I started playing one last week

thorn thorn
#

Lets do an easier spec

#

Sin do the numbers pretty good

sharp mural
balmy condor
visual sun
#

#

wtf lol

thorn thorn
main bridge
#

Cigarettes are absolutely disgusting

thorn thorn
#

You are the one that compared FDK to a "normal" spec

#

But ok, maybe you are sub core

#

Sub also puts up the numbers

#

And look at that

#

Its only beat by fdk by a little bit

#

Almost as if the core of the issue is with the people playing the specs and not the specs themselves

thorn thorn
#

The class tuning for M+ in TWW is closer than it has been historically

#

Naturally the dungeon pool plays a big part of it too

thorn thorn
#

Ask your magic 8 ball

#

It will probably be addressed eventually

#

Whenever that is

#

Probably at some point in either midnight

#

Either that or during or post legion remix

sharp mural
# thorn thorn Almost as if the core of the issue is with the people playing the specs and not ...

That's one hell of a bullshit lmao.
Even the worst LoL champ all time can be good in the hand of Faker, doesn't make this statement relevant.
Not only you're dependant on your own skill, but also on every other aspect of your key such as your mates, your procc lucks and route.
Tomelvis plays with people his league. They're all world class players average joes can't compare. They manage to pull up numbers with strats and skill despite numerous bugs.
Average joes can take FDK, BM, Fury, DH, any other class and have decent dps.

gritty laurel
#

at this point i'm starting to feel silly telling people to read the tooltips

thorn thorn
#

Why are we comparing league to world of warcraft

sharp mural
#

cuz that's the easy picture I had in mind

thorn thorn
#

Its not even close

#

League champions are not world of warcraft specs

balmy condor
#

Assassination rogue needs faker hands to be competitive

#

Incredibly difficult spec

#

Very deep and complex animation canceling and combos

thorn thorn
#

And I literally just gave you evidence that the specs can pump numbers

gritty laurel
#

best i can do is fake hands while i headbutt the keyboard

sharp mural
#

For sin it's different, it's just bugged

balmy condor
thorn thorn
#

Ok buddy

#

You are just a rage baiter lol

#

Clearly there is no further discussion worth having

#

I literally just gave you evidence that the rogue specs are doing fine in terms of throughput

#

And your response is essentially that its not feasible for everybody

#

Like yea of course its not

#

Everybody wont be doing +19s

#

or 20s

#

You gotta play really well to do those kinds of keys

#

And by coincidence the rogues doing those keys are playing them really well

#

Popularity is not the absolute defining metric for a classes performance

sharp mural
#

All I'm saying is while 50% of people will be able to pull up numbers in every other specs, on the other hand only 0,1% of outlaw will be able to pull up numbers

lime onyx
#

Bro it feels so bad progging and every 10th pull my cds are just changed by 30 seconds

thorn thorn
#

Your initial argument was specifically in high keys

#

The people playing outlaw in high keys

#

Will be playing it properly

#

Otherwise they wouldnt be playing outlaw

#

???

#

Like yea it makes sense outlaw is the least popular spec

#

Its hard as shit and annoying to play

#

But its not like it doesnt have output

#

It does fundamentally have the output to make a place

spice spire
thorn thorn
#

acceptable

drifting cloud
thorn thorn
#

no u

spice spire
sharp mural
thorn thorn
#

What point bro

#

The reason being that not many people like playing it?

#

If thats it then yea you do got a point

#

But that doesnt mean there is an issue with it

#

The specs have their own audiences

sharp mural
thorn thorn
#

And changing the specs to conform to certain audiences is how you lobotomize a spec and ultimately kill its initial audience

gritty laurel
#

unless you're literally getting paid to compete in RWF, picking a spec for any reason beyond "i like playing it" is brainlet activity

thorn thorn
#

true

#

I have met very few actual outlaw players

#

There is only 1 I have ever met of all the rogue players I personally know

#

The rest play either sin or sub

nova kelp
#

there's probably a little more analysis to be done there
generally speaking rogue itself is just unpopular, and has been for quite some time
the lean in spec allocation in an already small population does and has typically shifted mostly towards sin, even when other specs are significantly stronger overall
some will say this coincides with "outlaw" as a theme and that people just PREFER "combat" but I've always called bs on that, coz I don't think a significant proportion of players play their spec for THEME more than mechanics. If the timing was to hold true it's likely becuase people generally dislike "uptime" specs.
Sub and outlaw regardless of periodic strength have always struggled for numbers.
I'd normally put this down to iterations of poor intuitive nature. The popularity of ret since it's rework somewhat steelmans this view.

thorn thorn
#

Idk the rogue players I know just have never liked any version of outlaw

#

They have always stuck with either sub or sin or both

severe meadow
#

yeah fuck outlaw, respectfully (disrespectfully)

thorn thorn
#

I have heard many reasons, but the most common reason is that it "isnt exciting" since you just mash buttons on cd

#

Its excitement in a different way

sharp mural
thorn thorn
#

The class is just unpopular

#

And its not exclusively because of throughput limitations

#

People just dont wanna play rogue

#

wcyd

nova kelp
#

there was a time that "combat" was really popular, but it was also when it wasn't so tied to "constant uptime"

GENERALLY speaking though if you're looking at the wow community rather than the ROGUE community... Rogue is just unpopular
people generally steer clear of outlaw and sub save for very tangential and casual engagement - because they're MORE unpopular

oh sorry, try this
more ret (like 70% of casual players) means a lot more overall playerbase

honestly, if a hunter hard line refuses to play either of the ranged specs it's kinda a doomer situation

!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.
