@balmy condor its not in the pins so im gonna ping you 
you think its worth going caustic+CT now instead of Caustic+PB for Raid stuff where you gonna cleave a bit more in general
or that its more of an "just manual dot a 2nd or 3rd target" angle
the raid cleave build runs all 3?
tbf, wanna kinda know at what point its gonna be worth it to go full cleave with all 3, and when its more the "just go ST build with some minor passive cleave stuff" talents
stupid prepatch questions time because I'm either blind or nobody thought to put it in the FAQ
is 21k DPS in ST doing okay for prepatch? what's the average numbers people are doing?

im not reading you nerd
i wanna ping the catboy
time for him to record a voice message
Is there a raid training dummy that isn't constantly sitting below 35% hp?
there are dummys directly above the dummy courtyard
on like those two pillars
people usually forget about them
WTB Training dummy for your Housing Plot
if i joined a heroic group and there was a guy with the bugged timewalking gear who solo'd the boss, could i get banned? didn't know he had it until the fight started
No
Any good Ui Pack out here for now ?
i dont think anyone will get banned for anything at this point no one gives a damn
Druids roleplaying as beavers give a dam.. I'm sorry 
hes not autistic, hes a billonaire philantropic with friends he care about frfr
bodybuilder too
Damn we also dont need to vanish anymore, what happened to my class 
in the opener*
Are you saying he's Mr boss from smiling friends
35 to 15 seems pretty harsh
something something
any point in using platynator over plater?
if you prefer to customize your own nameplates, platynator is way easier to use
if you just want to import something, plater is ideal
ok , with default ui we dont see poisons on nameplate, but with plater we see them. Is there a way to hide them on plater?
in the buff tracking section, you can add debuffs to the blacklist, but yesterday it was bugged and not working for me
I just use vanilla ui and no plater like a psychopath
meow
i will have to use something else then
cuz the 20 debuffs that sin applies will get annoying on 20 nameplates
in a pack

i guess it will be fixed by midnight in some way or another
false
you will understand nothing and enjoy it

I can't for the life of me figure out why the standard blizz plates had an option to show CP and now they don't. š¤Æ
Otherwise I would just use them
I just have my cp and character portrait near my action bar to see it, formerly used the class weakaura for it though
But enemy plates all I care about seeing is who I need to kick or stun nearby (I also don't do super high keys though, only 10-12s)
Between that and mythic raid I never had an issue with vanilla setup
Also this is driving me nuts, I can't see dmg from Kingsbane ticking as in no SCT for it, am I just fucked up or is it like that?
!plater
Assassination UI Imports:
Currently not available. Sharing UI's is not as standarized as it was with Weakauras.
For now, browse the following Blizzard HUD and Blizzard CDM imports on Wago:
is there any way to disable the standart Character window?
No one??
I think sct stands for scrolling combat text but that kind of stuff is for now not possible anymore
there is no need to track spatter anymore?
No. Itāll just always be up when you envenom or kb
Which tbh is my favorite change of the patch I think
Having to muti in aoe felt super bad. Especially cause it was so often
I havenāt touched deathstalker and probably wonāt unless itās decently far ahead
I want to say itās slightly behind FB anyway
But both did fairly dog shit damage for me last night xd
FB felt good in m+
Yeah Assa probably undertuned rn but itās prepatch what can you do
We did get a little buff but caustic got shot understandably
It was doing a lot of damage in the tests I did
Anyone got any solution to the shitty bleed debuff timers being red and very annoying/hard to see?
danders frames or senseiressourceclassbar offer that option if you already use them for other things
Oh I do have sensei
in edit mode, on the HP bar, tick ''hide blizzard''
or something similar to that
Are you still playing assa in raid atm? Or you think there is a better spec?
Sub felt okay, assa is a bit undertuned atm
Was averaging 12-14th as assa, played only FB
Same in M+?
I did fairly well in a 10 I tested as FB
This was the overall for it
Call me crazy but id rather underperform in pre patch so we get buffs going into Midnight. Overperfoming specs gonna be sad when they get the nerf hammer in a few weeks.
Boss damage was a bit low but cleave felt pretty good with the new CT
Yeah! Spreading bleeds with CT outside of stealth was amazing. And its only 60 energy. I could have sworn it started at 100
Everyone having fun with assassination so far? I am going to log in and try it out during lunch
I like how it plays but itās just not doing that much damage atm but we got a lot of tuning to go
Regardless of if we get buffed
Oh damn
Granted there was only like, 25ish parses on it
Iām kinda dog shit at sub for the most part but it was doing more damage
I just like dots š
And with the stat squish Iām not sure how important their haste breakpoints are / other stats but I am not geared for sub
Donāt think Iāll swap
Blizzard kill roguĆ© assa š
how do you notice its prepatch?
people go crazy over "balance"
more then ussual

Sick 100 broski
Thanks pookie it was painful
I got shouted out
āShoutout to Jw for parsing 100 at the bottom of the dpsā
did you tell them that shouting at you makes you cum?
No šš

dont act innocent
He yells at me sometimes, heās not innocent
They're balance druids masquerading as rogues, the only solution is murder
is "Murder" supposed to be a bird pun there?
Yes
What do we sacrifice to get caustic spatter in the ST build?
I have a dumb question, but I am considering rogue for midnight as a main tbh
In the notes on icyveins it says because of cut to the chase we never manually cast slice and dice
yo, can we remove our poison debuff from nameplate ?
or blizzard does not allow it ?
So does that mean not even to "start" slice and dice?
Correct
Oh, so do we even put it on our action bar or just leave it in the spellbook if it is effectively passive?
I am coming from feral druid tbh
yep just ignore it exists
Thank you š
Seems like a weird thing to not prune though
Maybe they had in their mind a build where someone didnt take cut to the chase
SnD is literally one the fabled "muh cLaSs FaNtAsY" things
it exists because somebody at blizz HQ has a boner for it
doesnt matter that its basically pointless and fully passive
Erm.. actually.. since we can pre stack combo points with CT.. we can actually pre cast SnD for a 0.002% dps increaseā¦
Anyway no just take it off your bar
- need help if it's possible
How do we know what poisons to use?
Always deadly
Oh ok
i thought poisons were already removed from nameplates by blizzard
idek how you have them
Atrophic 9 times out of 10
TLDR use the poisons you spec into
Iām this close to kissing you buddy
Watch yourself
I have them as well.
This is gonna sound weird but follow my logic: if people find curse of weakness (slower attack speed) and curse of tongues (slower casting speed) and/or the Hellcaller combination (curse of the satyr) then does this mean for nonlethal we should use numbing poison?
Especially because now there's talents for warlocks to make their curses aoe
Nah
they stack afaik
I was maining warlock demonology all of season 3 so I may have some misperceptions
they are removed from blizzard default nameplate but not on plater Absolute IKEK Cinema from blizzard once again
I did and my group liked me for it š

Especially the fireball guys and healing guys in priory
well that sounds like platers fault not blizzards
lmao
platynator also works fine with them afaik
D:
Poisons randomly have extremely rare uses outside of the ones youāll typically use
does it mean I have to switch to the ennemie side ?
Platynator is goated, trust
Like wound poison
Thats platers fault for breaking their blacklist most recent update
For healing reduction
Will be fixed im sure
Hmmm. š¤ so I guess we don't use the reduce healing poison for stuff like priory either?
The only time Iāve gotten good use from it was from the mini boss in that one dungeon
Assa kindof is required to use deadly and amp with dtb
Right before last boss
I usually just throw on crippling ngl
- what is amp 2) what is dtb? Sorry im new
My rogue is like 35 š
Amplifying poison
Amplifying poison and dragon tempered blades
The latter lets you use 2 types of each poisons
I read about amplifying poison on icy veins
Amplifying poison is a talent, dtb is dragon tempered blades which allows you to use 2 lethal and non lethal poisons
ok I trust 
Nice! Dragon Tempered Blades sounds really nice for per encounter customization
it's blizzard fault for fucking with the addons everyone have for 20 years
but I get your point
But youre level 35 so stick with deadly poison for now
DTB is a sick talent
Im psure whether or not blizzard touched addons this is just a plater mistake
I donāt think Iāve leveled (aside from xpac launch) since legion lol
Well to be fair he used to be level 85
But after a bunch of expansions of level squishes... he got down to 35
(I haven't played rogue since legion)
we found the 1 warlock
its rogue leveling
they all are kinda stinky
class is heavy talent gated to function
Quick tricks of the trade him prepull and commit murder
Curse of Tongues buys more reaction time to interrupt the fireballs or other important spells.
Also the hyper drive whatever thing in streets
Or gambit
I cant remember which is which
you mean more time to let the casters do their job and having your teammates die
Is slower casting time bad? š¤
it isnt
its good
but you need people with double digit IQ to have their interrupts binded
did some ui testing with our ret paladin 20min ago
he went over talents and was like
"Holy fuck, what did they do with freedom, you cant take it anymore without losing important stuff"
"WELL WHO NEEDS AN INTERUPT"
LOL
ok insanely based though
tbf, he is the 1 ret paladin i respect
one of the rare people that actually plays the spec, and not just facerolls
Does anyone have advice on UI clarity for discerning important must interrupt casts?
The bad ones will face retribution... One day
Apparently when we hit max level we get more talent points in midnight
Although I am not sure how many more per side
unfortunately they killed addons to make it so this is harder to discern
fortunately we'll prob have updates soon that circumvent their efforts entirely
so i'd just wait
It's currently not possible to get combo points on nameplates, correct?
Not with the standard UI, but plater works for me, just painful to confg.
They also made improvements to communicate important interrupts better, e.g. in Ara Kara Resonant Barrage made the mob glow in a dangerous green vs the regular and less important web bolt
But I heard someone say there's an alternative that's much more better to set up.
Was a long time plater user (w/ Jundies) but trying Platynator just to see what the options are
there probably is
might need time for ppl to get stuff figured
oh you can totally do this with platynator (widgets, power)
that's actally far more intuitive than the old plater setting (show resources) which sometimes would just stop working
You mean the unit's combo points ?
No i meant my combo points on my target - platynator does it perfectly well
for anyone interested
Yes
sorry if its been asked before, any efficient way to track how many targets are missing garrote/rupture without having to look at the plates? talking when theres a lot of targets thanks!
Plater works and jundies has a prepatch profile btw
if youd rather stay on that
Should we trust sims at all right now?
Ran top gear and changed around everything it said. I'm sitting at 39%(416) haste lol
Honestly I never used add ons before, really. But I am realizing as I push higher keys why people use them. I am not sure if the UI presentation has changed over time, if the game play has changed significantly, or if I am just older/slower/dumber but it seems like it used to be kind of clear/easy to tell really important monsters to interrupt and now its all jumbled together in a big mess and its hard to pin point the right guy
Can people enlighten me on our current raid dps, im going into a run with the guild tonight and tus i had a slight stroke over the dps number.
40-45k is avg. Our UH dks finished 65-75k on fights
40k for rogue?
God dam
Assa is like 30ish from what Iāve seen
Like simming 26-29 and then in fights itās like 30-35
Clown patch
Is that for mythic or just a heroic raid?
Whispyr, should we trust top gear atm? Has me going haste heavy lol
I'm at 39% now for st fb
good idea
In general
Probably fine yeah
Top gearing prepatch is crazy work
But should be at least close
Yeh hold on lemme optimize for my 1:25 fractilus i need this shit crisp
I can't help it lol
What's your raid build? Whispyr
whispyr can you please remote access my desktop and assign my talents for me
you do it the best
Whatever is on wowhead, or the faq, or whatever Warcraftlogs is doing, which is probably also what icyveins is doing, which is what wowhead is doing cause I told him builds
whats with the trinket placement anyway I can move it lol?
Uhh ok thanks
I might be blind, what trinket?
its centered on my character skardyn grace
yeah haven't played in a bit
Idk, would assume thatās some addon putting it there
gotta be
You canāt track trinkets using the cooldown manager
So whatever youāre using, itās putting it there
well I only have better Cooldown manager, narcissus, Wago app, clique, Details and bigwigs, plater and simc active
can't find the option in Better Cooldown manager
Yeh idk, I donāt use better cooldown manager, but I would assume itās in there somewhere
thanks @lean plover fixed it
Does anyone play both feral and assassination and do they feel pretty similar/have a similar overlap is the general gameplay experience?

my friend who plays feral says it feels damn smooth
cant really make any comparisons though
I DIDNT EVEN POST IT
Thats fair, and feral does feel smooth based on testing I did last night
Its weird that assassination rogue doesnt seem to have a combo point AoE finisher, only builder
I play both
That's true I'm sorry 
For some reason I thought pandemic didnt exist anymore but it seems like it is still a thing and I am not sure if the base cooldown manager helps with knowing when to refresh/track pandemic timers
I'm using neph ui and it shows pandemic windows
the entire raid had the sigil debuff from soulhunters for the rest of the raid
including people that where not even inside the raid at that moment
and the sigil colors changed randomly


NICE GAME
For feral the icons change slightly for rake and rip when tigers fury is active
Same with improved garrote
@severe meadow 
shiv 
I feel like they just forgot Improved Garrote existed when they made all the 'no stealth required' changes
I keep forgetting to use it š
save for DM no?
so happy envenom now applies CS
goign to take some unlearning of pressing mut here and there
There's also some extra min-maxing with refreshing Improved Garrote within the first 6 sec iirc
It feels like not using improved garrote outside of your opener as a pretty minor DPS loss overall, but I may be completely wrong š
if you wanna go the zero-brainspace play, macro vanish with DM, and just clip your garrote with an improved garrote when DM starts
Genius. I'll do that š
doubt doing this over the optimal order changes much tbh
as long as you keep up env for KB and KB within 2 GCDs of DM you're fine
Well given the Rotation Highlight helper thingy is like a 5% loss, I can only imagine a part of that is the lack of using Vanish for the improved garrote
So not using the improved garrote must equate to <5% loss
is the rotation helper a 5% loss, or the Rotation assist button a 5% loss ?
Yeah š Not sure if that's just accurate for Pre-Patch and the numbers will differ in Midnight with our Apex Talents thrown in
Yeah, Implacable is quite a decent amount of energy, so you're less likely to run into trouble with it
heck, I'm in ilvl 80 character boost gear with godawful haste and crit
and I'm already just barely feeling problems with my combo / energy
Having played the Beta I can say it's a lot smoother
In my experience, there not much margin for smoothness already imo
have never had a "oh shit" moment with my energy or combo points while dummying
and I was counting in my head every 5 envs to let it fall off
taking the good habits
Honestly the only improvement I'd hoped for that they missed was if they just binned Thistle Tea and shifted some more regen into the Apex or Venomous Wounds
Thistle is a good safety net when the game starves you of combo and blindside procs when you need to refresh rupt
that was my experience of it
It's good when it's got charges
When it's out, it feels shit š
I'd rather have more consistent regen than the spikes
Also when a tea procs as you kill the mob - sadness
Is this spec pretty easy for a beginner?
I haven't played a rogue in 10 years or more
is there a way to create pandemic indicators on the CD manager?
I would say, middle of the pack ?
Which is the most n00blord baby brain rogue spec?
assa is probably the easiest of the rogue specs
there's a few things involved and it's not a nobrainer whack-a-proc spec
but it's not that hard
Sub is pretty simple now as well
Idk, an argument can be made for Sub Rogue now š
yeah lmao
I dont even know what a sub rogue is
Like I know it exists but I have no idea what their class fantasy is or what they do
Debuffs tracked with the CD manager should highlight in pandemic timings
though the pandemic timings for rupture is scuffed
it flashes when a 5CP rupt would pandemic iirc
"pretty simple" is a nice way to call it

doesn't take into account your actual combo points

Like if you were generally describing things you'd be like "oh assassination is a dot spec with maintaining bleeds and poisons" and outlaw.. is.. fuck idk "if you wanna be a pirate/swashbuckler" but how do you even describe sub rogue
This is gonna sound dumb but hear me out - sub rogue is all about stealth lol. Their burst window is very frequent as they have a spell that gives them access to abilities that require stealth
sub is the random bullshit go spec ?
assa is maintenance focus
sub is burst window focus
Outlaw is high apm spamming with consistent dmg
miau
so true varas
oh so it'll be automatic, sweet
I don't actually know if the pandemic alert for garrote takes into account Razor wire (the talent that makes it 6 sec longer)
love emergency maintenance breaking my CDM and sensei's settings >.>
anywhere I can find talent builds for midnight beta?
space ninja
let me know if youāre sold
Are we meta or what boys
If you guys muti into 4 CP what do you do?
mut again
mut again / garrote if it is in pandemic
Do it again
cool, thanks
Better to potentially waste one CP than definitely not proc your coin
wasn't sure if there was a more efficient way to get CP for finisher, such as Shiv. given that resource management is the name of the game, i thought savings however small could be big
but i've just been hitting muti again out of habit, so i'm glad it's the right thing to do
you don't really care much about going over 7 cp
its more the 20 energy save for shiv over muti i guess
to be fair, resource management is the name of the game, but the game doesn't exist

you'd also deal way less damage per energy point by going for shiv
so even then it'd still be inefficient
Is the implication here that resource management is fake/literally trivial?
and potentially skip on a potential 7cp finisher for a 5cp one
less of an implication, more of a direct statement
damm, french is a weird language
That is true, assuming there's not bigger savings over time. I guess 20 energy is quickly recouped anyway. Thanks for entertaining my thoughts anyway
Idk though space ninja does sound cool... should I actually main sub?
try them all and see which one you vibe with honestly
assassin rotation is very easy to pick up
assa has the cuter players

proof? 
@balmy condor
^I second this
we have whisp
and royal played assa
dont think ive ever seen a cuter man my entire life
So what's everyone's hot take on deathstalker vs coinflipper? I love asa but I can't stand how FB looks with the coins, and how it has 0 impact on my gameplay decisions. Enlighten me!
fatebound doesnt have deathstalkers mark so its an automatic win for me
Fatebound : Passively boring.
Deathstalker : Actively tiring
Deathstalker basically puts a leash on you with Mark
Fatebound doesn't

Also @thorn thorn and @humble verge

did the rogue rotation change durring the last patch? for raid
We'd be unstoppable if you swapped to Rogue
buff deez
You're the second best Evoker player I know
and you only know 2?
Well 3
ah
Is daylea the other one
@safe frigate
Hello.
It me and an evoker player.
I buff @balmy condor sometimes.
And steal his pad other times.
Hello Daylea I have a question
Ethical
Any way for the cooldown manager to tell me when my poisons have expired? :x
sorry not sure why that's replied to that message xD
no
Hello my goat. Xoxo
thanks for the answers guys
no problem Mr. Jacksy
Forgot my real name was on here >< can't set a server nick
apparently i can. must be thinking of a different server
thank you for the reminder!!
I can't decide between rerolling a void elf or night elf rogue or sticking with my orc rogue
But they dont even have the pale shattered hand skin for mag'har orcs 
But then again they do have laughing skull..
ye
I forgot about those
Void Elves are just pretty close to Drow
And night elves are like purple wood elves
Jack Ryan, John Wick
āReal nameā
SURE
Youāre a fucking government agent in a bond movie
I'm just an analyst
the first Jack Ryan book was in 1984 so he was before me but the name is very much real
This gif triggers the uncanny valley effect in me so hard
assa does giga aoe and shit st -> complain
assa aoe gets slight nerf for a st buff -> kek caustic
impossible to win
we got da woman in winter clothes with 2 bears on arms
Yes?
First job. 
How do you feel about dracmpreg
TONY!!
I am a supporter of all mpreg. So itās Poggers.

We got Sera CE, was a pog moment
LETS GOOOO
heāll likely get the mount soon
Yoo someone get me a crimson bow tie code with a vpn id love you forever!

Do we vanish, garrote THEN DM, or DM first then Vanish>Garrote?
build in 15, we are fine even if I play with the worst talents, no kingsbane, no last apex 

what are you guys using for resource deisplay? the WA packs no longer work, right?
sensei resource bar
Is that an addon or a WA?
Wa doesnt exist
BetterCooldownManager
Sensei's Resource Bars is fine too
order doesn't matter
depending on the fight time it's actually worth it to just rip vanish on cd
and desync it from deathmark
but that's a weird one
razor wire makes the garrote timers very strange
ty bro, I usually vanish to get 2nd improved garrote off during deathmark window right before it expires
is that not worth
like before DM expires
well you double garrote from the pull
yea
so you have like 32 seconds of garrote
it lasts your entire deathmark window, and then some extra on top of that
without vanishing
so like either you rip vanish at like 0:35
in the middle of nowhere
and get extra uptime on the garrotes, for another 30ish seconds of imp gar
or you hold for 2min deathmark, and lose a vanish cast
but you're only getting 100% extra garrote damage for 16 seconds, while you're getting 32 seconds of garrote from the vanish
so it's like 1.5x the value
to hold for a dm
not 2x
got it got it that helps a lot. probably just gonna slam it on cd
lol I feel you
is even bigger a nightmare
I was streaming sims and people were like when do we vanish
and I was like look, I'll show you
profile 1 synced with deathmark
profile 2 slammed on cd for imp gar uptime
5 min patchwerk, go go
perfectly equal

when do we vanish
Lmaooooo i think this tier im not gonna try to overthink anything and just slam my buttons
even if its -3% loss idc xd
vanish is legit my sleep paralysis demon, because no matter what I do with it, it's always wrong
guys quick question
it either feels wrong to use

I need help
or it sims right in 1 situation
when do we vanish?
and wrong in 35 other situations
This is the way, just press buttons
Maybe they shouldnāt tie damage to a utility spell š
Lmfao okay you just helped me ease my stress of overanalyzing it because you already did it for me XDDD
i think whispyr knows
Is DM always before KB? I thought I had read that KB after envenom into DM but then I read DM before KB
whispyr
but imp garrote with vanish existing sucks ass
when vanish
āSprit increases haste by 10% for the durationā lookin ass spell design
pls assist
always dm into kingsbane yes
i was typing a fake rotation but didn't post incase people believed it

its wonky that garrote is the only way to apply dsm, could have left it on ambush as well to keep the vibe
They always believe it 
taco
So opener should be: garrote > 5 pt rupture > DM > envenom > KB or envenom > DM > KB (prepatch)
I was gonna go up to your area to golf after the Italy trip but shlepping my clubs to Europe was gonnna be a big pain
So now u gotta come to the US for tacos
Just unsure if weāre meant to envenom once before CDs then rip CDs
they could've just made it a self-buff too
when you enter combat, you apply the mark to yourself

in german we'd say "hƤtte hƤtte fahrradkette"
envenom dm kb I guess
or just skip the envenom
doesn't really matter
DK nuked 
If Vanish is your Sleep Paralysis Demon, then what was Rik Barrels?
the rat shit in my attic

The transmog on the Warband screen keeps breaking
How do I get Combo Points to show on my target's nameplate? 
i didnt realize so many people played like that lmao
platynator can do it really easily
Anyone know how to remove the poisons from nameplates?
Dont use plater
real
ah its busted i take it
it's something
seems platynator is the default recommendation atm
the default nameplates are kinda fine imo
okay cool thanks
oh yeah playnator is way easier. Only care about the bleeds im applying
frankly if I could hide all debuffs on nameplates I would
maybe one day blizzard will deliver
I just wanna hide the damn timer text on the icons
90s was tier so ye
gonezo
i thought they integrated tier into the new hero talents
upon reading i see that is not true
the future is now, old man
I hate the new cold blood frosty hand shit
New?
I've never seen it frost my hand like this before.
Probably cause you always had it macroed before but itās had that glow effect since it was put in the game
anyone know an addon that just adds the option to change the nameplate colors? I don't want a whole nameplate overhaul addon like plater or w/e
but I cant fucking see red on black
yay colorblindness
correct
nameplate colors can't be changed I think
well they can
but I'm not sure to what extent
Should be able to change the colour in general, just not based on anything ingame (like if a buff is up or if the mob is dangerous etc)
Atleast i think so
Is the bridge to Dimmy bugged for anyone?
I keep seeing comments regarding assassination being energy starved but it really does not feel that bad, maybe a little bit in ST, but aoe basically feels the same
People have to be doing something wrong
spec has historically been energy starved and smart use of pooling and resources was a skill-differentiator. Apparently they are bringing that back when we have apex talents, it's a good thing. It's a design feature not a flaw
Well yeah I know, Iām just saying based on what Iāve read in comment sections on Reddit and videos, people are making it sound like youāre sitting on empty an entire fight
And then I went and played it
And I have like no downtime lol
Yeah i wouldn't read too much into reddit or YTers lol
I was like great my fav spec is broke, and then I logged and had no issues lmfao
fights are also lasting like.. 1min
Phenomenal point
is everyone just using the cooldown manager now or is there something better?
Personally finding that the cd manager essentially tracks everything I would need to see
Thereās just a decent amount of bloat abilities that you could fall victim to tracking that donāt rlly do anything
Blizzard added like everything under the sun for tracking in the CD manager
mostly i miss being able to make missing auras glow because im brainless and need flashy things
Arc ui
The only nice thing is that you really need to only focus keeping your dots up on one target due to crimson tempest rework, so Iāve found itās a lot easier to track
thanks. this seems like weakauras with extra steps but it works!
Where is my PREPATCH BIS LIST WHISPYR????? 

didnt see a pin for this, did they fix the singular focus bug?
interacting with caustic splatter
no
So is sin rogue easier now?
yes
hey guys, how are we removing the tracking of debuffs like poisons on our targets
i dont think you can blacklist stuff
the game doesnt seem to response to plater blacklist/manual debuff tracklist
but im not to sure
Yeah same bro. its a fucking mess
uninstall plater
you can't blacklist or manual debuff track anymore
it's old shit from plater
base game only tracks gar, rup, cds, and deathstalker
icic, some how i see poisons
but i like jundies
plater just straight up doesn't work
platynator exists
might be what you're looking for
fewer bells and whistles though iirc
any way to remove combo points from playnator
and i would like to colour code mobs for M+
can't do that
Playnator shows cps on target frames? Yes pls
it can
Jundies profiles do that right now in both player and platynator
Yeah his profile for platynator is nice, pretty familiar
there are very restrictive categories you can recolor stuff as
but its not too bad
you can't recolor at will
it's like really weird categories
I'm not sure about the backend critera but he's got the same colors as per the last 4-5 seasons all attached to high hp mobs, danger casters, etc
You can colour based on 3 things:
- lieutenant mobs
- mobs with mana
- mobs without mana
Can't do anything based on a specific mob name or anything like that
not being able to change the names is such a big L
the RP names that biz uses are terrible
No more Thundercock 
Anyone else still have SBS buff listed on screen?
Yup
Blightboner
Do we still have the talent to stack envenom to 2 applications, or was that removed?
FB or DS for dungeons?
You guys think we will get shiv back? Or will it stay dead 
I liked it. Also made thematically sense, a hidden dagger that amplifies our poisons and stuff around it.
When this trilogy is over they will bring back abilties and call it expansion features.
No
Theyāre disabled
Blizzard decided so
Because you donāt need it
did they changed that with poisen bleeds = more engery?
if i play for example councel fights?
Then you press fok
Fok applies poison
No problems
And if you donāt press fok
You press ct
And ct applies poisons
No problems
Damn so negative 
hmm ok
The only time it mattered in TWW was 2 target
And even then it was like
One boss fight the entire expac?
Trying to think of something where it mattered
Struggling
personally it triggers my OCD because I was so used to "I dont see poisons on enemy = I dont have poisons up"
so I keep checking my buffs
lmao
but not that it actually impacts gameplay, it just cluttered the plates
Damn thats a fat nerf
Honestly needed tho right? They did so much damage
Our DKs blasted so much damage yesterday
Is that a hotfix for prepatch?
Ye
Also Blizzard did an "Emergency Maintenance" yesterday which cut our raid 30minutes short. Anyone know what that was about?
makes sense, I tried unholy on first boss yesterday, just randomly pressing buttons I did more damage than the rank 1 frost dk log 
Removing bugged items
At least I think so
Noice
people said dungeons were dropping lvl 90 items, maybe that
this was so deserved, se were speedrunning mythic Dimmy yesterday
literally just stack UDKs
tho it is pushover anyways
We struggled on Dimmy, but tbf we reached P2 almost every pull, but had no idea how to play it properly
certain we kill on Monday
we kept wiping on p2p2 lmao
everything else was sweep
p3 is a joke if you get there with full ppl
EU had instance problems at least, a lot of people disconnected and could not log in for long, could be related to that too
I'd assume varous reasons including those 2. They also buffed the Mage Tower because they saw people were zerging it
fun detected: nerfing...
Lvl 10 assa might be the most boring thing ever lmao.
Luckely it gets neat at max level tho
level 10 anything is kinda urgh not fun
can plater put debuffs on mobs plates anymore
need a way to reliably know if i can stop using CT other than counting lol
yeah that is a decent proxy, not exactly what I need though
Probably your best bet rn
Would wait for further changes before I set up an entirely new addon, but thats just me
Ive heard some people using jundies, but idk what exactly that looks like rn
Has the assassination spec really become D tier? Our raid DPS is terrible..
when plater makes it so that their plates track only the same debuffs as base blizz frames I will go back to jundies
plater tracking every poison and bleed makes it un-useable
Why does DPS matter in pre - patch bro. there is still so much tuning upcoming
jundies is just a plater profile .. no?
like you can pretty easily change this on your own
literally cannot
my plater is only tracking rupture garrote and caustic idk
Damn can you screen your buff settings in plater pls ?
I cannot filter on any buffs rn
At this point just use basic nameplates no? Its not bad and I almost got used to it already
Only thing I need to see better is when and what to kick, but also thats just a matter of time
well unless they have updated it since yesterday I don't see how it would be fixed 

I mean you could atleast see by the giant bar if that mob has your dots then 
just dont run poisons
does CT spread doomblade -- nope
does anyone know if CT will always prio copying bleeds onto targets without them? seems to work that way from what I can tell
Should work just the same as ic
For spreading logic
With the condition that ct hits
ive been testing in M+ i find Deathstalker does a lot more damage than fatebound
what key levels
nice -- how much more if you had to put a % to it?
like double
oh shit forreal -- I havent tried deathstalker yet hm
100%
on test dummies with fatebound i do hmm 45k?
using DS its 100K+
my understanding is fatebound is better single target and thats been the bigget issue for rogue in high keys
but damn overall should be similiar
I got my rogue to 69
Leveling isnt bad at all
Way better than when I tried in Wrath and other early expansions
But I have noticed that it seems like simply existing near a mob unstealths me and I dont seem to have that issue on my feral druid
i need to level another rogue for splits , any advice?
I dont know if my auto attacks are automatically going off once I get in range or what
If you right-click a mob and walk close to it you start attacking
Makes sense
Has anyone tested the difference between casting two improved garrotes before we spread in M+ vs one?
Why would you cast 2?
Pandemic duration spread across every mob
Depending on the lvl of key, the pack dies faster than your imp garrote runs out
It was fairly common in older iterations of assasination
so I wouldn't be surprised if its something to consider now with the ease of spreading it
basically something like
garrote --> garrote --> rupture --> CT --> CT --> Envenom
into either more CT or FOK depending on what the pack size is
You don't need to cast more garrotes or ruptures on the same target as it doesnt spread it like that anymore. Press Garrote out of stealth, use CT to spread and generate CP, use rupture, use CT until everything has bleed, FOK
Thats how I do it
Not sure you understand what I'm trying to say
Otherwise check AOE opener on wowhead
Thats highly possible since I am a doofus sometimes 
Ok nvm
Stealth --> Imp Garrote 1 (24 seconds) --> Imp Garrote 2 (32 seconds) --> Rupture --> CT CT --> Env. Means you are getting an extra 8 seconds of improved garrote on every target hit by CT. Which is 50% more damage
Ignore what I said
I just checked AoE opener myself and realised I was wrong ^^
Mbmb spreading misinformation
The other thing you would do with that global is a Mutilate, I have a hard time believing a mutilate is going to be higher value than spreading +8sec of imp garrote across a ton of targets but I am not a theory crafter/haven't researched this at all
Ye like I said I was wrong
I mean you might be right I'm asking a question really
Oh I was right actually nvm lol
One thing I plan to do this expansion is roll whatever DPS is the best simming one button character for when I want to be a lazy fuck. Sin looking pretty good tbh at ~20% within perfect
i do this usually, garrote --> garrote --> rupture --> CT --> CT --> Envenom
yeah that is correct except you wanna pop CDs before CT apparnetly if you have them
but what i dont like is we spec into only 1/2 scent of blood
hmm
i evenom before cd
p sure you wanna pop trinkys pots into cds before sending any CP outside of that first rupture
otherwise your first caustic splatter is unbuffed
true
but doesnt it buff kingsbane having an evenom out
prepatch apparently we evenom before kingsbane
but midnight we dont
yeah i saw that in the notes -- wonder if it applies to both aoe and st
hmm good point
do you think its worth sending 4 cts
for scent of blood
20%
agi
or just cap out at 10%
and use fok as a generator in aoe
i think the main value of casting CT is getting high duration bleeds onto other targets, scent of blood is a bonus but probably not the main reason you want to spread bleeds
more bleeds == more energy via venemous wounds, aslthough i just saw they nerfed that to have diminishing returns when was that
dimishing returns beyond the first target
if the current in-game description is up-to-date
I think you bring up a good point if you have max scent of blood is it worth it to spread CT more
typically we spread to max scent of blood
anything extra is "ok" but not really worth
and if energy is an issue by design
ct uses more energy than fokj
yeah
not sure tbh
will take sims realistically
since we dont commit to scent of blood i dont think its worth spending 4 cts
but i am conflicted
yes you're right
time will tell (sims)
this is kind of how it would look garr garr rupture ct ct dm king envenom ct ct
thats pretty much what iv'e been doing in keys
at that point u vanish or apply garrote and rupture again
I think you DM before CT no?
just looking at wowhead guide its suggesting G -> G -> Rup -> DM -> KB -> CT / FoK spam
is 1-2 seconds with no bleeds to benefit from DM the play
if we follow wowhead
only primary target has bleeds when we push DM
2 globals later 2 more targets have bleeds
aand so on
i think i realise the reason, we cap our combo points early if we send CT and hold evenom before cds
and also waste the combo points
I find myself low on energy a lot as im leveling
Does that get better at max level with good gear?
Or is this just slower and less spammy than feral?
Slower
Being max level with all your talents helps a bit
Gear changes nothing
I mean crit makes you feel good when you get extra cps on your mutilates/fok
But if your question is: will haste fix this? No, it won't.
just need 4 billion haste
cap is 126%
^Whispyr be like
smh thye shoudl remove that
anyone else having trouble on personal resource bar from blizzard CP not showing in combat ? cant seem to make them work
The rupture refund when enemies die is gone right?
Sadly
When you say itās gone?
In what way?
It is ultra nerfed
Before it was 8
kinda non existant
Now 3
Ahh right
Don't know the exact number ATM I know it is non existent
I figured it would be that.
Sorta dumb really as it doesnāt effect pooling but i guess they didnāt wanna make rupture sniping the strat for max damage with the slower regen
Also it was kinda stupid
