Is that a guardian druid at 5?
feral no?
balance
details a bit buggy
he's pretty well geared
it's week 900 of the patch with uncapped crests, I would hope so
I wasnt farming in awhile
took a 3month break after getting heroic down
perhaps longer
what ilvl
151

You jumped from heroic to myth frac?
gg
things are adding up
how slow is this kill jfc
2min and 42 seconds
yah I mean it's sounding like this is just a group of whatever undergeared and stuff
not max ilvl farm
really?
dimmy doesn't even have a p3 anymore
hey excuse me
have to remember to press cloak on first rings cause you turned monitor off and forgot to move
4:21 with triple buyer
Who really needs a monitor anymore
no idea
i made the mistake on fract of not instant stepping knock
rofl
since who cares if it doesnt do damage
also nk died before his first set of smashes went out
yea
we cleared almost the whole raid
the tunning made it easier
We're at Salhadar
our biggest brained player, the holy priest
ate 2 rings
and had like 20% hp after that
Fun fact about the audio assist function
@balmy condor thoughts?
If you enable every single function it will queue up every single trigger event, so after only a few minutes of combat if you disable it, it will keep talking for like 15 minutes
kinda hot
why are your button borders so dark? what does that
or is it just the dark icon pack?
i see
and now arcui compatability for my arcui gamers
You can still die yeah
Man…
I can’t see why any sin rogue mains would ever dabble with sub. They killed the spec
I mean everyone yaps about how easy specs became
yet dont have logs to back it up
which is always a curious thing
a spec can become easier and the player can still suck
Can’t spell wangbar without W
Huge, can’t wait to update and have everything shatter
BOOM
Thankfully you have a hotline to the dev
i think ifixed the issue you were having when u first downloaded too
i didnt know u had to inclue libraries for addons, so the menu library probably wasnt on your pc
ace3
Probably not in the last 5 days I assume
I logged in for an hour collected 250k from sales
logged out
idk who is deranged enough to buy 6/8
but why turn down free mone
Basically how it’s been going for me with mount sales
Well obvs i was out for a buyer since yk
who needs atro
on week god knows what of farm

now that hunter got a real raid buff we’re back to worst raid buff
If sub performs significantly better in raid, it’s kinda a must for CE gamers
Tuning yeah
which honestly hasnt been the case all of tww
at least for 90% of CE players
i mean
i was stubborn to sub
and outlaw
only played it cause "muh meta"
for forge and NK prog
also a bit dimmy then
but next tier i'll have to pivot to whatever performs best


With these upgrade track changes in midnight feels like you auto send a dagger
you already auto sent a dagger previously
What texture pack is that again? (Specifically the energy bar and unit frame)
sin is bad because i cause things die to fast in world content so i cant spread my bleeds >:(
rework pls blizzard
is kingsbane feeling really low dmg or not showing high up on details?
d1
I know its prepatch but im just wondering if its a me issue or just how it perfoms
assuming ST and everything isn't being dwarfed by caustic spatter
im getting about 120-130k damage out of each use on dummy (not execute)
someone update wangbar and lmk if its working for ya
Snow
Didn’t save you any yellow snow unfortunately
once im out of teas it feels giga horrible in AoE chain pulls i was in a priory 14 last night and i felt like i was starving to death. I don't mind the pooling but teas play like they play too big of a role.
its like if I am about to go into a huge pull do i have to play around not proccing teas on accident for the pulls before it....
Alright. Similar to mine
Thank you thank you
I had a horrible key last night
Surely ret isn’t that bad rn
Its not
They were just an elusive ranged ret
Bro wtf was your surv doing
!wa
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:
i was also doing a dangerous amount of trolling, 30k as a devourer rn is actually pathetic
But I spent the start of every pack and boss running for my life from aggro and either dieing or doing nothing
Get back on your e-girl class NOW
How has this happened
@balmy condor any thoughts to adding a UI channel to misc given the shakeup?
place for people to post theirs and imports, questions, etc
What are decent ST dps numbers right now?
raid?
Whatever the devour arcane affliction lock unholy dk or fury war are doing
yeah 60k+
nah, we got #wow-general if super necessary, but rogues are just so underplayed that it's not really something needed
none of our channels move fast enough to warrant like a new channel just for UI
it's not like it's interrupting or disturbing actual convos
if i ever see a ui post interrupt my shitposting i will be very mad
9k legion won't grind itself bel get back to the mines
5 more lvls
i bought strawberry farm tickets every week but was too lazy to use them
so now i have to use them all before they expire

thats why you shitpost about addons
On the raid dummy im only getting 56k. Getting it every single time. getting the max amount very quickly every time in the opener. do you think its my ilvl. Im only 143
ilvl definitely sucks but not to the point of missing over half the damage
but like, as long as you have your 2 lethal poisons, and cast deathmark -> kingsbane
should be good to go
press envenom a couple times
do you not have an on-use trinket?
could be, im 167
should have been triple
where can i find beta talents assassination rotation?
whatever you do in prepatch
but when you envenom, count to 5
and when you hit 5
you don't envenom
huh
thats the rotation
im getting more combo points mutilating in aoe than fan of knives.
what do i do when i dont envenom??
you wait until envenom drops
this?
yep
even in ST?
5 envenoms, let the buff drop
repeat
especially in ST
in aoe it's much less important
you mean this?
yes
what if BL is up in aoe
then you'd ignore it and just envenom
no point optimizing an energy regen talent if it's going to overcap energy
I’m so hyped to shiv in 1-3 targets
shiv is in our rotation?
thx whisper
This thing about Envenom, I cant find it on Wowhead
its for beta
I think the numbers come from the ingame Damage meter and that one does not show correct values and theres 2x factors or more between different otherwise identical fights. Warcraftlogs only seems to display correct damage values
I dont know if this was the case because i read back a bit. but if you hit the dummies on the ground in dornagol they take some sort of reduced damage. but if you go up the pillar and hit that one you will do way more damage.
might be case as well. But in our raids the openers with bloodlust sometimes everyone caps out at 25-35k and other fights 100k dps according to ingame dmg meter but in warcraftlogs the values are consistent between encounters
Yeah i'm not surprised if the damage meter is bugged and does not include everything good thing logs is there to check tho
yeah plenty of reasons why is might be fucked
hi
What is raid talent for single target boss?
Tnx
BTW I was wondering what do you guys think is the best rouge spec for raiding going into midnight
whichever one gets tuned the highest in the next couple of weeks that isn't outlaw
with the added note that sub is 1:30 and will be better on fights where 1:30 is better
I personally will play Assa, but I will also get gear for Sub to switch if better, but I started as Assa, and I will continue as Assa
What's 1:30
cd timing
90 seconds written out in minutes
hi
I know that I didn't know what you meant XD
I see
line up differently for fights
I was hoping they would buff assass but I guess sub works too
sometimes fights just need big damage at 1.30 intervals, sometimes they need big damage at 2min intervals
I mean, they're both good
that can change whatever is "best"
Yea but assass feels really clunky specially with all the nerfs to the energy
does it?
It's so uncomfortable to play it
man people raging in every channel about energy and im just not feeling it
Always being low on energy is really fked
but you're not
then assa isnt for you babe
Xd
assa isnt meant to have infinite energy
season 1 midnight is actually already pretty fast for assa
like
well above average
Yea but at least before u had Good regen with the venomous wounds but now it's even worse
50+ apm?
it's.... not though
it's better
now you have good regen with apex talents 🤷♂️
the apex doesn't give that much
but it reads like it should, and thats enough for me
Then I guess I'm wrong then maybe it does feel good
But when I compare it to outlaw it just feels rly slow
the highest apm spec?
here we go
to one of the fastest
Xd
Ikr
guess we'll never know!
😂
slow is good, aligns better with my mental
Compare Assa to feral
Better comparison. Both specs pool
At least feral used to pool idk if it still does
Did not look to much at it in midnight but what i saw they want to purposely be on low energy to cast chomp which just deals insane dmg and is only usable on low energy
outlaw gonna be better because its not tied to this 90s - 2 min crap 
did not feel diffrent to me
i found one trick, all specs feel the same
ill sahre this one trick with everyone
(i am just joking, don't use the obr)
not sure if joke but that's literally the reason outlaw is usually worse
whats that
the icon for the one button rotation
real af
its very good when you are sitting on the couch, and doing delves on the tv 👍

blocking you
It was the "doing delves" part right?
One of our dks walks on a treadmill all raid
It’s always funny when he talks and is out of breath
Maybe he should walk more if hes out of breath
Is blind still aoe or nawwww
out of breath on desk treadmill 
Hey man playing dk is exhausting
what if i bind obr to unlocked mousewheel and just let it rip?
whatever makes you happy
Which poisons should I be using for which content?
I currently have Instant / Deadly / Wounding.
Always deadly poison, if you run dragon-tempered blades, amplifying second
Is there ever a use-case for the others, like PvP?
PvP probably has different uses for the utility poisons
As for pve Theres not too much variation
The answer is truly that pvp isn't real
can I use plater / platynator to make my nameplates a certain color if they're missing rupture + garrote?
And for good reason IMO
Well fwiw
You don’t really need to track when bleeds fall off
Refresh bleeds -> Hit crimson tempest a couple times and your good
Do we lose AoE blind in midnight?
yep 🙁
Bruhhhh hopefully they don’t realize
adds AoE blind in TWW because everything has AoE cc except Rogue
removes AoE blind in Midnight while not really reducing AoE cc anywhere else
truly a blizzard moment

Depends how much you pull
Blind is a pure interrupt though, like it’ll get broken instantly and it won’t lock out spells
Sure but that's always been the case - if you're hitting some break point where you have to triple pull in order to time that's another thing, but that's going to be at the extreme high end. In terms of us regular mid 3k players my understanding was we would not need to coordiante AOE stops as we did this last season
Yeah that’s my issue with it as well
There are less casters in general but that just means you pull as many as you can handle still
Now we blind a random caster so tank can pull more 
maybe, but if we're working on resilent 15s/16s I'd personally rather just time it than have to do some multi caster pulls unless we have to do that to time
Tbh you’ve never had to do that just to time except at the literal WF key level
Except maybe priory lol
i can think of some pulls in Rookery that was required to time
yeah priory too
tbh that is about where i lose interest anyway, past 16/17 it turns into another type of game and i'm not sure i like that one lol
does blind work on the alarm siren things in ara?
Yes
don't forget that hunters gained AoE stop basically for free
while historically that class had ok utility while also being lust class for m+ purposes
but they remove ours lol
What AOE stop? Intim?
yes
3 targets more than waht rogue can do
Sure but most won't even run it
I will take take aoe blind if it's only 4 targets, thank you
It just functions basically as a ST stun if you can't control what else it stops
So you would just take reduced cd
well they did lose bursting so I guess they are not that better off actually
And knock up trap
still doesnt make sense why they rob rogues of the one thing that made them somewhat ok in this department
what does rogue bring now
shroud?
lmao
The chad 5-target Intim, a better Hunter's Mark and lust versus the virgin Atrophic/Numbing Poison
'cause fuck these piss-coloured dick 'eads
in retrospect, hunter wasnt a good comparison xD
make iron wire spread again
That’s kinda my hang up with rogue love the class, but I bring nothing. I could be a ret with the same 3% DR and also bubbles, sac and combat Rez, or be a hunter, shaman, evoker, mage with more cc and bloodlust, even warriors have battle shout and better cc, monks get leg sweep and ROP and meele buff. I have a hard time justifying bringing myself.
At least we can stop enrage
you do bring something - self sufficiency
people might not value it from a meta perspective but it is valuable.
Rogue really isn't bad, it's kit lacks "meta" utility, but it does have a bit of everything. Losing AOE blind does hurt tho
I've used stuff like sap and shroud this last season, not like "omg super skip" but it can make a key easier
I’d rather play rogue cause everything else feels like shit to play
too real
i was setting up a bunch of prospective alts last night and i hated almost everything else
Idc about utility imma do damage and press my buttons and press cloak and ignore mechanics and be the last one alive for every wipe
Favorite thing about rogue is being alive at the end of a wipe and trying to vanish to avoid repair bill
Not dying is a pretty good characteristic
It is nice
As long its coded as AoE we wont die, but alas theres a bunch of stuff in keys that typically arent coded as AoE
(you'd think that if it hits multiple people its an AoE ability and likewise the opposite with ST abilities, but no)
Heya, do we really play now Fatebound but in Midnight again Death Stalker? I am confused and i dont really like Fatebound ^^
Theyre still tuning stuff so it could change
Our fates are bound to it 
I mean a lot of the time we run elusiveness on keys so it feels less bad but still big true
Yeah but 20% is not always enough to make sure you never die, whereas 40% is most of the time
No for sure, but at least it is something
It def felt better on outlaw when paired up with high vers stacking
2 really nooby assa questions - improved garrote - does this also apply the improved version when out of stealth for the duration, or just remove the CD?
also
Crimson tempest, is this just a skill issue or is there like... an addon that lets me know when everyone is dotted lol - I know that sounds dumb but I feel like I'm either over or under spamming it
I fucking suck atm on this spec
so if theres 3 enemies
you use it once
if theres 5 enemies
you use it
erm
idk...
So Whispyr did some sims with CT and at certain target count it's actually just a damage gain to just use CT. Even when not at target count it's like a 1-2% dps loss to just CT. You could honestly just spam CT and not worry about it if you wanted
unironically huge ty
In higher keys what are yall doing. Just getting as many bleeds out and not focusing on envenom as much? Im having some issues when I run out of teas. So like do you play around tea?
For a next big pull?
im only in the 10-12 key range, but i just use fok/env when energy allows once you run out of the burst energy. ive been questioning myself if CT spreading is more dps than env , ie if hit max CP on a siingle CT at start of pull when still needing to spread bleeds, is it more dps to dump envenom vs just CT'ing 2-4 times before envenom dump loop
you should never be overcapping combo points just to spread bleeds, most of your damage comes from caustic splatter which is directly tied to envenom
thats what i figured, was ultimately the question
and also being geared and only being in the 10-12 key range wont really show you sin rogue full damage profile because mobs have so little hp
like the buff from zoldyck recipe is huge when mobs live longer
especially if you vanish to re-apply an improved garrote and it can fully tick in that window
plus if everyone in your group goes giga-burst on first pull like floodgate for example, most of your dmg doesnt even start ramping until youre able to max the scent of blood stacks up to 20% additionally agil
basically what im saying is that if your group is geared in that key range, frontloaded classes will look absolutely insane compared to sin rogue because of kill times
that def lines up with what i feel lol. im like ffs whys this frost mage with 15 ilvl behind me pacing me
12 keys literally feel like a +2 with a geared group right now
You won't be able to do much in how short the pulls are
also sin tends to scale a lot better with higher pull counts than other classes do, our caustic is target capped, but the bleeds are not so if youre in a 12 with noob tank pulling nothing, youre gonna get dusted by that arcane mage
was more lower keys for that frost mage, some people switched to alts so yeah even quicker dieing on 5s
I mean, getting bleeds out and envenoming are not mutually exclusive, you do both
But yes, it is most efficient to bleed everything
With whatever tuning exists on beta right now, deathstalker is very slightly ahead in m+ to the point where it’s probably not worth playing
Like the fucking headache of the mark
For 1.5% dps or whatever it is
Yo grats on lead wowhead guidewriter btw
Just isn’t worth it for 99.9% on people
Thank you
Huge W for femboys
If you have issues with any of the guides, just make sure not to let me know because I don’t wanna have to deal with some fuckass restoration warlock
it's a win for everyone, including femboys
truth…

@thorn thorn W for you
put xal’atath toes
into the SEO banners 
I think this is where my CT being a combo spender raptor brain is coming in. I think I get so focused on spreading the bleeds that I am forgetting to envenom and it might be crushing me
Caustic spatter do be doing a lot of damage
win for you playa
I’m like hey….i just cast ct 5 times on this giga pull…..wait how long was i at max cp 🤣
New CT feels sooo good compared to IC imo
Biased a bit because I liked bleed build
And I think SD isn’t too far behind, maybe it’ll be good with more tuning
I wish bleed out was more impactful 🙂
Or used
Sudden demise had such big dopamine hits.
Yeah its bonkers how expensive it is
Bit confused with some of the reworked stuff. Does crimson tempest spread to a flat amount of mobs with each cast? Or is it every bleeding enemy spreads it, scaling up with each cast?
spread to 2 mobs per cast
Gotcha, thanks
Whispyr I am watching your episode on the brutally honest podcast
When we get some extra points for going level 90 will it cost a lot to get sudden death?
@balmy condor this guy is watching your episode on the brutally honest podcast
Yes its true
The spec points go directly into the apex talent
So we dont get any extra points in reality?
I swear blizzard told us we would get some extra points for more utility and cool stuff
Apex is technically optional
That’s the 3 points on the class tree
You get 3 on class, 3 on hero, 4 on spec
The 3 on class can only go to the top 2 gates
It was at one of the things where the guys stand on stage and talk about upcoming stuff and they said we would get some extra points
Oic
The spec points can go anywhere, but the apex talents are too strong to ignore
I hope you like Kingsbane, buddy
Nah builds are pretty tight again, not too much variation rn
Is there something wrong with it?
It good
I like the assassination cooldowns
The red one with thats like 3 minutes with the white scratch marks and the kingsbane
Deathmark
Yeah deathmark
I think part of the midnight changes was making specs less flexible build wise
Like for single target you don’t even need a guide for talents
Cause you deadass just get everything
If you blindly pick every non-aoe talent
You’re within like 2%
I want to try outlaw but I am 99% sure I will just play assassination. It feels way better than sub. I swear I never have energy with sub and the backstab move sucks. The only power is in the finisher move
Outlaw got punched on the head recently
In.. a cool way? Or it sucks now?
Bladefurry got nuked a bit
I don’t personally know how big the impact was but Zac was on demon time
I do kind of like this
Real, that’s why I don’t know if it’s that bad
But I often find myself wanting the walking fast when invisible talent
It sounded bad
I just like to go fast
I think it’s fine, like the caustic nerf is basically the same thing
It sounds bad
But like giga aura buff
25% more speed when stealthed is so good (to me)
Yeah and honestly caustic was doing a lot of damage xd
I told my friend in voice that it was likely going to be tuned
Has assassination gotten the 10% buffs yet? I didnt actually read the rest of the patch notes so idk or other specs got anything
Do the numbers even matter right now?
We dont have like raid bis or 4 piece tier or anything yet
The 10% was beta
Oh ok
Prepatch is not tuned
That makes sense
Like purposefully avoided tuning
But people still are like “oh assa bad in prepatch so it’s bad in beta”
Yeah honestly no point tbh
When they’re completely different 
I dont feel bad in pre patch
This patch made me like rogue again and I find it compelling and fun
I mean prepatch itself is such a joke that it probably obscures it
And I feel strong because I can control fights really well and my toolkit feels like I can handle any situation
But assa is objectively dirt tier atm
Assa is realy bad rn yeah
At least in raid, I felt okay in m+
I like the feint talent that flat reduces dmg by 20%. I like evasion. I like the cloak of darkness to remove all debuffs. Self heal. Lots of CC. Reset with vanish
I feel strong in pve and pvp
I can interrupt mobs a lot with dirt in their eyes or kick or stun
Hopefully blind doesn’t get fixed :^)
Players too lol and if it gets bad just throw some dirt on them and vanish and reset
What's broken about it?
it's aoe and shouldn't be
Most do
It seems like a really good talent
In fact rogue seems to have a LOT of really good talents
Which is why I was excited for more points
Lol
You sacrifice a lot to get something like sudden demise
Yeah :/
Just not worth unfortunately
In the midnight will we get that turbo charge talent?
That makes super charged combo points?
Supercharger?
Yeah
I think we put 1 point into it
Interesting
I do like recuperator too
Little mini sustain that is always up
And the leech poison
Rogue feels pretty sturdy
It’ll feel a bit better when we get apex for the energy regen
Was that like snapshotting rupture? It seems like snapshotting isnt really a thing anymore?
It got turbo nerfed
Ah gotcha
Well I read some talents
And I might be making this up
But I think theres some synergy where the more poisons and bleeds you have on target the more energy you get backb
that is how assa has always worked, yes
So energy regen actually feels good in massive pulls in mythic+
True
The crimson vial is energy hungry to actually spread out the bleeds and poisons
used to be an aoe dot finisher
Oh like the feral AoE rip one
yep, more or less the same
I do think its weird we have no aoe finisher
You aoe and then just.. Envenom one guy lol
the new version is imo better, makes spreading dots more consistent
i mean why add a 2nd finisher to envenom, the spec
Unless envenom has a cleave effect or something?
caustic spatter
Ah true
so kingsbane envenom and your weapon poisons cleave in aoe
Well good to know ive been doing it right
I play a maghar orc lol
I dont know if the racial is very good
racials are whatever, maghar is a good one for dps tho
I just like how he looks because I made him a laughing skull with the mask and everything
great, its better to choose them for aesthetics
unless you are clearing hardest content and need min max
Hard to pick between orc or troll
trolls are awesome but they got no feet tmog
Imo orc prob looks better in mogs
My rogue started as a troll with two ghoulslicer swords in ICC lol as a combat rogue then he became a goblin in MoP
Since warlords he's been maghar orc
The orc mogs are super good. You can get the blade fist to be a shattered hand orc
Or laughing skull mask to be laughing skull
Both are assassin orc clans
I am trying to make a dragonmaw orc mog but somehow leather is the one armor in the game that didnt get any dragon head shoulders or anything dragon themed
Uhh let me see if I can find an image of mine
This was a turbo fucked image I posted in here somewhat recently
It’s supposed to be all white
What happened?
I noticed my orc rogue has the alliance pvp boots for one set somehow and like idk how he has literally never been alliance
The Warmongering Gladiator's Boots of Cruelty
Theyre the wrong color somehow idk
yeah since prepatch character select fucks up different variants of armor for fun
idk why it fucks up one shoulder but not the other though
Thats so wack lmao
Looking cute bel
Can we give assassination rogues an ability called assassinate that hits really hard as long as you have super low energy to use it. Oh wait we gave that to a cat.
yes
...even though I kinda agree with you... outlaw's prettyyyy fun...
even though I've been a sin lifer
All rogue specs are pretty fun right now
You know... I agree. I was trashing sub, but it felt fine when I tried it earlier
a bit more zug zug, but not as horrible as I thought it would be
So I was giga anti sub how easy rotation was then I ran it in a priory 13 and was like sheeeeeeesh this is fun af
guys i'm strongly considering maining assa but it feel so bad to be so energy starved in ST..... does the apex talent fixes that ?
no
It’s a feature!
Not pressing a button every global is how the spec is intended to play
let those dots burnnnn
spam detection while you wait
I’m actually having a really hard time deciding which rogue spec I want to main :0
Which is rare
so the deal is to pool energy once we dropped envenom chain right ?
I'm the token rogue in my guild currently. been a while since I've had luxury of dagger hogging
could be a red flag... because no one else wants to play it lol
welp, since I can't make weakauras anymore I have learned lua and am just gonna make addons for myself instead. Made a lil combo point counter to start.
slick
I'm pretty sure this was the exact sort of thing they didn't want people feeling the need to do
yet here we are
coulda been a weakaura
I spent like 10 hours on this addon, most of it was learning LUA
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
but the rest of my UI is default
lisonna for me was the goated goat of goats when it came to UIs for me then I would just customize for myself
A little here and there
It was so nice to press a button and be 98% vs having 13 addons and watching 10 tutorials to do what I could do with one thing
Dunno I have really problems with fatebound :/ Feels so slow and no damage
on beta?
...Deathmark isn't a snapshot ability right?
Retail
Retail is basically a clown show right now
no
yeah there's your problem lmao
Just play to learn the new spec a little and get your ui setup
the last thing I'm struggling with is vanish and Deathmark desyncing, because I send Deathmark after my opening imp garrote... and don't vanish until it falls off
In m+ I just assumed it’s good to desync and use it on next big pull :0
I guess they could line up again running to a pack
If I know a huge huge hold all cooldowns pack is coming up I’ll lose a cast to sync
I dont have the beta so i can just play retail xD
yeah well retail is not tuned, and beta is
so
you're not playing the same game numerically
energy wise they're similar, that's not changing
but you cannot make a single assumption about damage based on what you're seeing in retail right now
It just feel like random damage with fatebound dunno why
idk why you feel that either
I would 100% give up 1% dmg to never deal with Mark again in keys lol
Granted the garrote change does alleviate some of the pain
Did blizzard mention anything about this pain point, kinda annoying
It just feels extremely clunky
no
Considering it's been this way for like 10+ years I wouldn't hold my breath for them to change it
Well that’s dumb and stupid

is 17k a terrible dps on sim? I legit don't know what to do. start to think my stat distribution is just bad
The sacrifice is an even more boring, flavorless RNG hero talent.
I havent tried the beta, does the envenom apex help with energy even a little? I know its meant to be slow, but Im hoping its a bit better.
in M+, should I spam FoK -> envenom or just keep energy filling, so it's easier to reapply dots if needed? I run into that problem alot where if the pack takes too long to die I'll have energy issues to spam CT all over again.
keep ct up if 3-5 mobs drop garrote and live too long it gets weird
it's a really good builder but it's not clear how much of a loss it is to spread a 15-10 sec rupture and then refresh and reapply it again etc
to keep the whole pack dotted
still getting used to CT with 1 bleed falling off close-ish to the other pandemic window... do I just spread the new garrote? or refresh that 10-15 sec rupture while I'm at it?
you mean given that all balancing is locked in and not going to change at all for the whole of midnight?
I mean last raid testing we were pretty okay
but bm hunter and windwalker were doing like
deadass 50% more than everyone else
and there's been 2 tuning passes since then
with no additional testing
throw a dart at the board I guess
ah didn't realize there hadn't been a test in a while
they did the main set of mythic testing before the holidays
and then did a bonus test of 3 bosses 2 weeks ago
is there a schedule or anything? Or just whenever they feel like it
they post testing schedules at the start of beta
do one round of testing

is there a new plater u guys are using the old cev one not working its so small and can barely see it now and its not showing combo points
!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:
or does anyone have a plater i can use
i honestly hate all these changes and i cant get my ui to work correctly
Uninstall plater, install platynator
Jundies profile is out there to import, it’s pretty good
Plater hasn’t been updated well since the changes
Platynator is a new nameplate addon that popped up in beta, made by a trusted addon maker
Very very easy to use interface (unlike plater)
Definitely check it out, easy to import profiles but also very easy to adjust yourself
@buoyant herald can u send me the cev or jubdies 1 for it its not on wago how do i find the import strings for platynator /
i know we dont have weakauras anymore but is there anything to track or help me keep track of duration of my bleeds on the target i really hate how all this is gone
its horrible
tracking it on nameplate / cooldown manager is pretty much the same as weakauras before
ya but i want cooldown manager to track duration of bleeds
its not doing that at all
and the nameplate of dots on targets is so small i can barely see it to track it
@golden loom ?
it does though?
it does it on the nameplate i want it to do it on the cooldown manager
the nameplate is so small i can barely see it
yeah as you can see on my cooldown manager, it does
base CD manager, platynator with jundies profile
can u send me jundies string for -platynator ?
turn it off and it's instantly an improvement 
but also my cd manager isnt doing what his is
what does yours look like
doesnt track bleeds at all
just shows if i need to apply it or if its rdy to use
guess thats an addon?
using neph ui cd manager a skin for it
suppose to make it look better
but its not tracking anything correctly
yeah idk, would just go default personally but it is what it is 
u use default ?
how did u make it look like that and make it fit perfectly between unit frames
yeah the only addon is Sensei class resource bar for the energy/combo points
the cds you just move with edit mode / its already in the correct position pretty much
this is jundies with playnator its still so small i can barely see it https://gyazo.com/c75a93af363ea09551441d618406789a
so go into settings
and then you can click the debuffs to move / change size etc
very easy to change settings with platynator
also it doesnt track useless poisons 
im trying to find where to make bars n debuffs bigger
do i click add widget setting ?
The best part of platynator is that if you want to change the look of the bar, text, debuff etc
You literally just go into design mode then click on the thing you want to change
You don’t have decipher the right one of 25 different sub menus and aspects
ya i like it just trying to find to make it cleaner so its easier to see the debuffs
Click on the debuff. Change scale.
For the record I also made mine bigger from his preset
and now do we just spam CT to apply bleeds once we put them on 1 target
untill its on all of them ?
i got that working now i just gotta get my cd manager working correctly i wish mine does what yours does
But like. Use your head. Don’t spread bleeds to targets that’ll die in 2s
so on aoe once we apply gar and rupture to 1 target we just spam CT or do we still fok and envenom once applied ?
if mobs are still alot of health
Only fok after everything is bleeding
you replace fok with CT while you have tagets that need to bleed
Again, within reason
and then go back to fok cause its cheaper
got it is it possible u can send me your string for your cd manager
maybe it will fix mine
I can dm you it I guess
id appreciate it
all these changes have been driving me insane and my Ui has been shit since
!guide
Really sorry if this has already been discussed but Assassination feels to me like it's getting a lot less energy generation than it should? It seems a lot slower than last patch
Feels bugged at times
You dont have 10% apex regen, and yes energy regen is slower.
They did it design wise.
They want you in midnight to pool after 5 evenoms and think about your energy.
Cool! That's good to know it's something I can change then. I'm absolutely loving the Crimson Tempest change.
I don't feel it like ultra slow, ofc it is worse than previous season where you just had infinite energy in AOE
but atm there not many moments where you are ultra starving
Yeah i dont feel like it's slow either. but it's def slower then before.
But that's what they wanted right.
Deathmark BEFORE Kingsbane right?
Yes.
Really stupid question here from someone who never plays dot specs. If i hit my CDs and get the bleeds rolling, if i hit my trinket after application, does the DOT damage go up, or does it only work if i have the trinket buff before i apply the dot?
No there is no snapshotting anymore.
there is no snapshot mechanic
😄
every tick is calculated by your current buffs
Ahhhh ok, so if I mis-time my trinket I can recover slightly
It's all dynamic, so it doesnt matter if you press trinkets before or after
i mean the buffs you have at the current second
yeah just one lost tick, but you can macro to DM and forget
Dope, thanks yall!
Thanks!
No problem
Its interesting seeing Fatebound being preferred over Deathstalker even after the change to marks being applied/w Garrote instead of Ambush.
Is that a tuning thing or does the hero tree just not give enough to be worth it?
You can't move the mark around now once applied.
You gotta finish those stacks/kill the mob so you can place a mark again afaik
But idk if that's the whole reason to it
Fatebound received good buffs and it doesn't shoot itself in the foot anymore in AoE
DS is slightly ahead of FB in m+ but FB is way less headache without the mark management
i like switching targets
DS made me not want to do that anymore
i hate DS
also i am a gambling addict and flipping coins is nice
What are the chances on fatebound that you will give me head?
Boggles my mind how they decided the best solution to the mark being annoying to move was to make it even more annoying to move
Yeah it's actually insane
We asked for better management and somehow
it got worse

it could have been a kingsbane modifier eleem
it could have been temporary
After 3 seasons of death marking prio target, using focus for kicks playing FB is so enjoyable. I honestly don’t care what the Dps loss is now I don’t want to go back.
I am happy I have atleast something to do 
It should have been a self buff
They hate us
They do
I find it interesting as when the hero talents first came out the prevailing opinion was Deathstalker interesting and fun and Fatebound bland and boring
I guess that was more raid centric tho
I didn't mind FB in m+ because there is a lot more going on and APM
But that's been dialled back
Guys how dumb is the concept of using a 1 combo point Envenom to force the stacking energy regen from apex when you need it
I really do not find the idea of empty GCDs while waiting for energy in m+ enthralling
i need time to tab out and refresh my afk mining in osrs
then play another spec
lol
complainining assassination has downtime is probably one of the dumber things
Doesn't every Rogue spec have downtime at this point
sub barely does
No not at all
Isn't it 2-3 buttons rotation?
You backstab/strike, you need to press dance, you have storm, you have blackpowder, you have shadowblades.
Thats also assa
that's also enchancement
makes no sense what you saying really.
Just because we finish and generate back to back makes it ret?
rogue is also literally the original builder spender?
Every spec has nuances to it.
I didn't mean to insult Sub bro,
I enjoy all Rogue specs atm
One more than the other
Don't get me wrong, i dont mind insults to specs that fine. but i just dont agree with the opinion
Yo, could someone help me understand how pooling energy actually looks when playing. I understand the idea fundamentally i think, but idk.
For example, in M+ after opening on a fresh pack, once we have spammed all our envenoms, and we are spent for energy, are we supposed to literally not click another GCD until we are back up to full-ish energy, even if bleeds will fall off the pack? then kinda reset bleeds, spam envenom, run out of energy and back again? Pls pick this apart so i can understand, I feel like I'm doing it wrong. thanks.
This is basically how it works.
You put bleeds up. you CT, you deathmark + kingsbane. you envenom 5 times. let the stack drop. and 5 evenom 5 times again.
when your lettign the stack drop is your downtime.
This response is one of the dumbest things
even if you have energy you wouldnt cast anything
I am allowed to have an opinion about the changing style of the spec I've played and loved for years
Nuh uh
Ok sorry
okay thank for very much. super helpful
(I read nothing for context)
This is beta btw, this does not work on pre-patch
Just making sure
Got it. thank you
This is the internet, we don't do context here
stacks of apex right ?
Yes.
assa has always been slow
tuning wise will also determine if this would be the right cause of action.
Why don't we just use a 1cp envenom to force the stacks to go down ?
probably not worth it damage wise
No idea haven't looked into that.
Wasting points and globals
Aoe/m+ has been limited by GCDs rather than energy basically since the rework
I also don’t think there is a hard number we pool too unless I’m mistaken
Meaning before we envenom chain again
The apex stacks are not on cdm right ? I can't see it
No. you just, wait for the 5 stacks to drop. and you start envenoming again. whispyr might know a certain energy number. but not to sure
nope.
not trackable at the moment
thats only since df s3
Ok so the majority of the time since the rework
well argably you were kind of trolling playing sin in dungeons prior
@balmy condor is there a number of energy you want to pool to after dropping the 5 stacks.
ya that’s the vibe I’m getting from playing on beta and it’s really not that bad. our autos and poisons do good dam
I wasn't, I was trolling dungeons playing sub/outlaw
as long as the spec isnt as slow as agonizing poison era
its kind of fine
+playing the same spec with no changes for years is boring
It's still beta it will be probaly known when midnight releases to how much energy we need to pool before hitting the 5 envenoms again.
I'm glad we have you here as the leading fine authority to tell us how we should feel about something subjective
Whatever would we do without you
let’s take a breather gang we all want the same thing
