I rolled on top of my other tank as he got meleed

#

Then I got BR, rolled again after taunting and killed him

#

bro tanks in that fight are just terrorists

esp P3

is insane

Omg I nearly played this with max volume

Just as I was about to click I thought

“Might check volume”

#

fatebound ST for kyveza? Maybe change a few talents into defensive?

desert crest
#

Yes

lusty kraken
#

so guys how do you play netherprism + passive trinket as assa rogue

#

send it every 1.5m or hold it until fully charged?

scarlet orbit
#

i have it macrod to vanish so i use it every 3 min and if the fight is about to end

static glacier
#

so if a fight has dmg amp or aoe on a dm that's not aligned with vanish i'd just send prism to benefit from the contextual factors

lusty kraken
#

I assume double active trinkets is not a thing for assa?

weary stump
#

We do enjoy antenna here

scarlet orbit
#

Maybe after turbo boost 🙂

#

is it advice to change embelishment if you have 2 dagger 723 ?

desert crest
#

Try to sim at see

#

normally off hand scaling is not very impressive tho

balmy condor
#

you would never use two 723's

desert crest
#

Yeah the weapon embelishment is pretty good eh

sharp trellis
tired bloom
#

what is the craft priority? first is dagger, after that? The biggest ilvl upgrade?

balmy condor
#

wrist/ring/neck

tired bloom
#

thanks

#

MY EARDRUMS

sharp trellis
#

prism is advice on my sim . can i macro it with deathmark ? or should we wait for 18stack ?

red schooner
sharp trellis
#

then should you still use vanish after shiv / deathmark / kingbnae?

red schooner
#

Or at least before your death mark

tired bloom
#

even before your first deathmark?

balmy condor
#

yes

tired bloom
#

this isn't in the icy veins guide, will need to adapt

balmy condor
#

I mean you only have to vanish before dm if you're macroing prism

#

the guide is fine

tired bloom
#

I see

#

ok then, I have it macro'd to DM

balmy condor
#

yeah that won't work

#

that's like -0.6%

tired bloom
balmy condor
#

you cast vanish every 3min, and you cast prism every 3min

lunar pond
#

No one asks why just blindly follows. It’s correct info but just amusing

tired bloom
normal mist
lunar pond
balmy condor
#

I ain't doing that

#

no one's interested in the why and if they are they're gonna ask that

lunar pond
tired bloom
balmy condor
#

can tell you from experience that most people trying to know the reasoning behind it are usually also the ones trying to argue everything because the answer they got doesn't fit into their world view shrugeg not a big deal

lunar pond
#

Fair, they treat it as an opportunity for discourse on feelings rather than it just being the math

hollow smelt
weary stump
#

I like having a macro version with trinket of dm and then another button that's just dm; rather than having trinket on cast bar garf_sit

#

Just alternate which one I press depending on timers

red schooner
#

I mean... If it works it works.

#

I can't criticise anyone about action bar layouts after the abuse I got when I posted my bars kekdog

static glacier
little current
#

yknow waht

#

i dont like that theres classes that love chainpulls

#

and classes that dont function with chainpulls

static glacier
little current
#

?????

static glacier
#

what is a chain pull to you?

#

describe it, clearly

#

I want exact numbers

little current
#

taking one, almost dead pack, into a healthy pack

static glacier
#

THAT IS NOT CHAINING

#

I REPEAT

red schooner
static glacier
#

THAT IS DOGSHIT GAMEPLAY

little current
#

thats not?

static glacier
#

no bro

red schooner
#

No lol

static glacier
#

chaining means as soon as the bottleneck mobs (casters, unavoidable dmg mobs) are dead or low

#

you take the chaff mobs, that just melee the tank

red schooner
static glacier
#

normally like 3-5 of them at like 40%hp

#

into the next pack

little current
#

well still thats not very goodf

static glacier
#

and that scenario is great for us

red schooner
little current
#

cause we dont get to restealth unless we have vanish

red schooner
static glacier
#

what do you need restealths for if you have mobs with bleeds on already

red schooner
#

Its quick to get setup again

little current
#

more bleeds

red schooner
#

Infinite energy

little current
#

plus iron wire helps with grouping mobs

static glacier
#

are you considering the effect of making the pull 8 mobs for 2 mins vs 3 mobs for 20s then 5 mobs for 1:50?

red schooner
#

Its like saying we don't like long pulls because we have to reapply bleeds

red schooner
#

And life is okay

little current
#

wtf

#

iron wire is fire

static glacier
#

bro if you're speccing iron wire in bleed build

red schooner
static glacier
#

you can't complain about restealths surely

little current
#

wait

red schooner
#

Like double shiv

little current
#

do we not spec iron wire in bleed

#

lemme check archon

red schooner
static glacier
#

no

#

it costs too much dps

red schooner
static glacier
#

hybrid had more points spare

#

bleed loses more to take iw

red schooner
#

!guide

red schooner
#

Wowhead, use that one

little current
#

damn

#

what a shame

#

iron wire is really nice

red schooner
#

Yeah but like, double shiv loss, with this tier set?

#

God no

static glacier
#

either way, the tl;dr of it is group dps goes up with chaining, it's not worth fighting packs til death for just the sin rogue if when you chain with a good number of mobs alive we will not zero out on energy or scent stacks

buoyant jacinth
#

do tanks have to pull around outlaw so u dotn use adrenaline rush or smth

static glacier
#

the dps gain for others AND us of having more mobs

#

is worth chaining

#

but if the pack is dead, and theres like 1-2 mobs sub 5% hp they should be killed

#

since that's not chaining, you're just griefing your rogue for like 2s

little current
#

we dont like chainpulls

#

since we get a lot of cdr from opening from stealth

static glacier
#

don't get me wrong, the restealth is nice but i'd rather have perma chains on OL than restealths

little current
#

i mean its more a lose lose scenario

humble verge
little current
#

either you lose the crackshot cdr

#

or you lose your RTB buffs

#

outlaw always loses

zenith elm
static glacier
#

I'd rather not have 6 buffs ticking down

#

out of combat

little current
#

thats fair

static glacier
#

also, any kind of downtime is MUCH MUCH MUCH better

little current
#

i mean for me I just love crackshot

static glacier
#

for almost all specs in the game

#

than OL

#

look at the dmg curve of the spec

#

and the amount of dmg lost from 10s of downtime

#

compared to sub out of cds

little current
#

dude i have 3k on outlaw i know the pain

static glacier
#

tbf i think the only spec up there with ol

#

for hating downtime

little current
#

why do you think im trying sin out now

static glacier
#

is probably fire

little current
#

dude

#

fire mage is so bad

static glacier
#

yep

little current
#

idk how people play it

#

dogass spec

static glacier
#

its super fun

humble verge
static glacier
#

just undertuned

#

high effort low-medium reward

little current
#

I really wish I liked it

#

cause it has the fun cdr I love in outlaw

#

but I hate the gamey jank with it

static glacier
#

it's a shame, cdr in a spec actively makes it worse

#

if you remove sub cdr and standardise dance cd it instantly becomes a lot stronger

#

since they never let these cdr effects actually remain powerful, they have all been nerfed

#

dance cdr, restless blades

#

all of it

#

has been nerfed

little current
#

its sad

static glacier
#

the spec is tuned to par with full uptime, then they make fights with downtime and dmg amps

little current
#

cause who doesnt love cdr

static glacier
#

and voila ur cdr specs suck

royal lantern
#

cdr is literally why outlaw is in such a bad spot in raids all the time dracthyr_kek

desert crest
#

cdr is fun tho

main bridge
#

I love CDR and think it’s really fun

desert crest
#

But it is true it does kinda force 100% uptime

little current
#

cdr is fun 🙂

#

maybe if they gave back extended melee range

#

it wouldnt be such a problerm

red schooner
little current
#

like

#

melee on dim feels awful

red schooner
#

Janky ass hitbox

royal lantern
#

what has the dimmi melee range to do with that

#

outlaw sucks cus the figh has multiple full downtime phases

#

and outlaw is a 100% cdr based spec

#

aka it falls down into the trash where it belongs

little current
#

wow asshole

#

also outlaw is bugged on dimmy

#

we get unstealthed when we port in

jaunty sky
#

Thats a you issue

desert crest
#

Yeah i don't think we get unstealthed

royal lantern
#

after week1 that never happend to me again tbh?

#

and why would that be a outlaw only thing anyway

main bridge
coral walrus
#

Question: Do we sim dungeonslice or patchwerk 1 boss for m+? I simmed both and they are saying different things 😄

take a guess

#

For fatebound assassin raid cleave, should I be manually spreading bleeds?

#

or focus main target and let caustic do aoe

humble verge
#

aug is back? HOLY

vestal granite
native vigil
#

or araz

vestal granite
#

It it safe to assume that Soul Hunters usually live quite long

#

long enough to apply ruptures I mean

golden loom
#

well soul hunters you should not play fatebound

native vigil
#

okay ty

severe meadow
#

Hunters is m+ build

#

So yeah, reapply

native vigil
#

okay M+ build for hunters\

#

what about arraz?

red schooner
#

Fatebound, maybe rupture an add for energy

sharp trellis
#

would you advice to use prism 704 ilvl over a forge araz 710 in high m+ key ?

#

so how do we weigh out the pros and cons of going for belt this week instead of later

acoustic roost
#

Boe is probably cheaper now than later when the normies find out delve belt is nerfed 🤣

humble verge
#

actually

#

didnt even consider this

#

i have gold to spend on the belt too

marsh fjord
#

Why do you have to spend gold

#

You don’t have a mythic belt?

pliant remnant
#

Nah he's got 3 Mythic belts, he just wants to spend gold for shits and gigs

humble verge
#

i have gold to spend

#

dont know what to spend it on

#

why not just buy a boe for once

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hi i got a question, can i use shadowmeld to restealth? Like in combat?

gray raven
#

yep

sharp viper

#

But its not just press meld and get stealth procs right?

#

do i need to press meld into stealth?

sharp viper
orchid sage
#

is that actually doable in M+?

sharp viper
#

yes but its not reliable

orchid sage
#

or arent i still in combat after a pull?

sharp viper
#

and it does not work on boss fightss

orchid sage
#

okok

humble verge
#

if u

#

remove your target

#

stand a bit from the group

#

and then try to meld

#

you should hit it

#

again, not guaranteed

ok cool

I have a question about the "mystic touch" debuff... which skills benefit from this debuff? For Rogues, it can only be ambush, fan of knives and meleehits??? 🤔 Ore bleeddmg are physical dmg too? 😅

spice surge
#

Bleed is physical

analog hornet
#

Envenom and kingsbane not? 🤔 So all poisons not?

golden loom
#

poisons are nature damage -> magical damage -> buffed by demon hunter raid buff but not monk @analog hornet

reef shuttle
fresh kelp
#

The drops will be the same but hero track should go to 717 and myth to 729

#

And crafting to 726

#

Unless they add another jump of 4 to make myth an even 730, but iirc on ptr it was 729

reef shuttle
#

Unless Ive missed it somewhere I have not heard anything about infinite farm for crests opening up on wowhead like before. Was this availbe on PTR? Or is to be delayed release?

vast patio
#

Pretty sure they posted uncapped crests somewhere

#

Seems like a given

fresh kelp
#

don’t think they said anything yet. I assume they are going to delay it a bit

#

but maybe not

nocturne quail
#

Also did not say they would remain capped

vast patio
#

Crests being deleted

#

Confirmed

nocturne quail
#

Tbh tho it would make sense that without crests uncapped it’s not rlly turbo boost

#

Just boost

#

That you slowly get at the same rate as before

marsh fjord
#

Valorstones are so useless this season tho

#

They can really get rid of them

#

Esp when you could bring them over from last season

-Join +11 for weekly
-Hell yeah these guys got 715 ilvl and 3k rationg

#

no uncapped crests for a couple weeks

I’m already only crest gated on my main, I’m glad blizz cooking tho tbh and at least trying something

royal lantern
#

i mean, what are they trying

#

its just to make people grind crests for upgrades again

#

which happens at the convenient time when people that played since week1 of a patch would be kinda finished with gear

red schooner
golden loom
#

well you have your weekly 90

red schooner

#

so makes it so that you dont have to degen m+ asap when it comes out

it is still weird that with my weekly 90 i cant get to 8/8

not horrible

red schooner

I ain't degenning

#

I'm logging in on the 21st and slamming gear

they could like 180 for a week or something

golden loom
#

cause lets say we have a 720 ilvl "perfect stats" dagger, its still 1% worse than a 723 god awful secondaries stats

coral ibex
#

and what counts as "perfect stats" is entirely dependent on the rest of your gear

#

NK dagger is literally a downgrade for me

#

at 723

reef shuttle
coral ibex
#

the only have an effect in that your desired secondaries are dependent on the rest of your gear

golden loom
#

wow the secondaries between loomithar and NK dagger really matter

coral ibex
#

there's no reason to specifically want a crit/mastery dagger

#

independent of knowing all your other gear

golden loom
#

also daggers give a piss small amount of secondaries anyways

#

so its never gonna be impactful

#

like you can swap a few gems and woohooo it swings the other way

coral ibex
#

its true, you get more secondaries by upgrading from hero to myth track on your chest vs equipping a dagger at all

just change your gems!!!!!

change your missives on your 2 crafted slots!

CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR 1.2% DPS OR GET BENCHED

Looking at stat weights is completely pointless when deciding between a finite number of upgrades given the existence of top gear

you are literally just wasting your time looking at stat weights

there's no reason to

you will still just equip what top gear says

pvp is its own thing

they just stack mastery and dont care

nobody cares about pvp in this channel tho

#

this is about pve

golden loom
#

yeah but its a completely different game

keen spruce
#

Even a completely unoptimized gear set that isn’t intentionally griefing into a single stat for fun will have no noticeable difference on your damage in any pve content given normal variance and rng

keen spruce
#

Agility and MH damage only stats that matter

#

The rest is just vers and vers in a trench coat

fallow canopy
#

surely the stat difference matters more than the natty 5% variance from abilities that blizzard has in Pepegrin

normal mist
#

The only stats that matter is the friends i did along the way

reef shuttle

pvp'ers will also just copy whoever is rank 1 all the way down the ladder even if they find out they can use different stats and get more damage

Tier set bonuses aren’t stats

yeah i mean im sure pvp'ers could use some crit or something and do more damage they just refuse

PvP isn’t real, it can’t hurt you

keen spruce
#

PvP also isn’t optimizing for only throughput

ye the damage reduction from vers is actually a factor in pvp

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
  • Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

Should I be trying to keep my energy at half? Like should I just auto attack for a while to build up energy? Sometimes im getting to 0 and can't cast anything

coral ibex
#

no

#

!design

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.

Im running out of energy even in M+ 😮

#

Doing something very wrong then. Make sure you are applying bleeds to 5 targets as much as possible

#

You should have infinite energy in AOE

coral ibex
#

you aren't running out in aoe

#

its impossible

or you aren't spreading any ruptures

imo a dps spec should never do tank damage single target thats not ok. if you disagree np

that's interesting because i think BFA has some of my fondest memories. that being said, a lot of half baked features were introduced that weren't actually good until later iterations, like azerite gear and corruption

But I also didn’t like legion

They actually abandoned wod to make legion good. You did nothing but sit in your garrison for months
