mythic fract and you only have 3 people over 30k?

#

you should've gotten gapped way harder tbh

mint urchin
#

Is that a guardian druid at 5?

weak isle
#

feral no?

hidden crown
#

balance

balmy condor
#

it's class icons

#

not spec

hidden crown
#

details a bit buggy

mint urchin
#

BM is spec

#

It's both

balmy condor
#

boomkin is like 10% behind assa rn btw

#

FIFTH

#

bottom barrel ST spec

#

in FIFTH

hidden crown
#

he's pretty well geared

humble verge
#

holy

balmy condor
#

it's week 900 of the patch with uncapped crests, I would hope so

hidden crown
#

I wasnt farming in awhile

#

took a 3month break after getting heroic down

#

perhaps longer

balmy condor
#

what ilvl

hidden crown
#

151

balmy condor
mint urchin
#

You jumped from heroic to myth frac?

balmy condor
#

okay well no fucking wonder

#

you're -20 ilvl

hidden crown
#

gg

balmy condor
#

things are adding up

waxen oyster
#

how slow is this kill jfc

hidden crown
#

2min and 42 seconds

waxen oyster
#

our pwar did 32k

#

last reclear

balmy condor
#

yah I mean it's sounding like this is just a group of whatever undergeared and stuff

#

not max ilvl farm

waxen oyster
#

im somewhat surprised pugs can do fract myth

#

without max gear

balmy condor
#

really?

waxen oyster
#

have you seen pugs

#

there are some absolute animals

balmy condor
#

yes

#

have you seen the prepatch tuning

waxen oyster
#

what tuning

balmy condor
#

dimmy doesn't even have a p3 anymore

waxen oyster
#

hey excuse me

balmy condor
#

I mean, he also doesn't have a p1

#

but ya know

waxen oyster
#

he dies as first set of rings goes out

#

thats still p3

#

technically

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

for sure

waxen oyster
#

ours took a lil longer

#

but we had 3 buyers

#

so

balmy condor
#

have to remember to press cloak on first rings cause you turned monitor off and forgot to move

waxen oyster
#

4:21 with triple buyer

balmy condor
#

actually does eating multiple rings even hurt

#

can you stand still

mint urchin
waxen oyster
#

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

hidden crown
#

we cleared almost the whole raid

#

the tunning made it easier

#

We're at Salhadar

royal lantern
#

ate 2 rings

#

and had like 20% hp after that

thorn thorn
#

Fun fact about the audio assist function

idle radish
#

@balmy condor thoughts?

thorn thorn
#

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

orchid pewter
#

why are your button borders so dark? what does that

#

or is it just the dark icon pack?

idle radish
#

i use a darfk icon pack

#

and custome texture

orchid pewter
#

i see

idle radish
#

and now arcui compatability for my arcui gamers

whole snow
lucid rune
#

Man…

#

I can’t see why any sin rogue mains would ever dabble with sub. They killed the spec

waxen oyster
#

I mean everyone yaps about how easy specs became

#

yet dont have logs to back it up

#

which is always a curious thing

idle radish
waxen oyster
#

Yeah but when someone yaps how easy a spec is

#

then doesnt perform

#

its uhh

balmy condor
idle radish
#

whispyr its almost ready

#

its also now anchoring to cdm

balmy condor
#

Huge, can’t wait to update and have everything shatter

idle radish
#

BOOM

mint urchin
#

Thankfully you have a hotline to the dev

idle radish
#

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

balmy condor
#

Yeah that might do it

waxen oyster
#

is arcui better developed yet

#

i havent logged in to wow since tuesday

balmy condor
#

Probably not in the last 5 days I assume

waxen oyster
#

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

balmy condor
#

Basically how it’s been going for me with mount sales

waxen oyster
#

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

lime onyx
lucid rune
#

Tuning yeah

waxen oyster
#

at least for 90% of CE players

humble verge
#

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

lethal turtle
#

With these upgrade track changes in midnight feels like you auto send a dagger

balmy condor
#

you already auto sent a dagger previously

scarlet bay
bronze pike
#

sin is bad because i cause things die to fast in world content so i cant spread my bleeds >:(

#

rework pls blizzard

hardy rapids
#

is kingsbane feeling really low dmg or not showing high up on details?

hardy rapids
#

I know its prepatch but im just wondering if its a me issue or just how it perfoms

buoyant herald
#

im getting about 120-130k damage out of each use on dummy (not execute)

idle radish
#

someone update wangbar and lmk if its working for ya

severe meadow
#

Made you a snow Angel, king

#

@thorn thorn

thorn thorn
#

Snow

severe meadow
#

Didn’t save you any yellow snow unfortunately

frank trench
#

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....

hardy rapids
#

Thank you thank you

thorn thorn
thorn thorn
#

You tell me

They were just an elusive ranged ret

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:

thorn thorn
#

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

severe meadow
thorn thorn
#

no

#

i am stuck in dh jail

severe meadow
#

How has this happened

spice sentinel
#

@balmy condor any thoughts to adding a UI channel to misc given the shakeup?

#

place for people to post theirs and imports, questions, etc

thorn thorn
#

I decided im in dh jail

idle lodge
#

What are decent ST dps numbers right now?

spice sentinel
#

raid?

oblique sorrel
#

Whatever the devour arcane affliction lock unholy dk or fury war are doing

spice sentinel
#

yeah 60k+

balmy condor
#

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

haughty flicker
#

if i ever see a ui post interrupt my shitposting i will be very mad

balmy condor
#

9k legion won't grind itself bel get back to the mines

haughty flicker
#

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

buoyant herald
hardy rapids
balmy condor
#

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?

hardy rapids
#

on the mini dummy its 105k

#

so its probably the ilvl

balmy condor
#

what

#

you hit a different dummy and did 2x the damage?

#

that makes no sense

sharp viper
#

mhm should have been triple

full siren
#

where can i find beta talents assassination rotation?

balmy condor
#

whatever you do in prepatch

#

but when you envenom, count to 5

#

and when you hit 5

#

you don't envenom

full siren
#

huh

balmy condor
#

thats the rotation

full siren
#

im getting more combo points mutilating in aoe than fan of knives.

balmy condor
#

bad rng I guess

#

more crits

full siren
#

what do i do when i dont envenom??

balmy condor
#

you wait until envenom drops

full siren
balmy condor
#

yep

full siren
#

even in ST?

balmy condor
#

5 envenoms, let the buff drop

#

repeat

#

especially in ST

#

in aoe it's much less important

full siren
#

you mean this?

balmy condor
#

yes

full siren
#

what if BL is up in aoe

balmy condor
#

then you'd ignore it and just envenom

#

no point optimizing an energy regen talent if it's going to overcap energy

crude helm
#

I’m so hyped to shiv in 1-3 targets

full siren
#

shiv is in our rotation?

balmy condor
#

not really

#

it's a very minor min-max for deathstalker

full siren
#

thx whisper

tawny geyser
#

This thing about Envenom, I cant find it on Wowhead

full siren
#

its for beta

rigid tartan
marsh fjord
#

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.

rigid tartan
#

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

marsh fjord
#

Yeah i'm not surprised if the damage meter is bugged and does not include everything good thing logs is there to check tho

balmy condor
royal hull
#

What is raid talent for single target boss?

balmy condor
royal hull
#

Tnx

#

BTW I was wondering what do you guys think is the best rouge spec for raiding going into midnight

buoyant herald
#

whichever one gets tuned the highest in the next couple of weeks that isn't outlaw

balmy condor
#

with the added note that sub is 1:30 and will be better on fights where 1:30 is better

jolly stirrup
#

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

buoyant herald
#

cd timing

balmy condor
#

90 seconds written out in minutes

subtle tundra
royal hull
#

I know that I didn't know what you meant XD

balmy condor
#

well sub is 1:30, assa is 2:00

#

so

royal hull
#

I see

balmy condor
#

line up differently for fights

royal hull
#

I was hoping they would buff assass but I guess sub works too

buoyant herald
#

sometimes fights just need big damage at 1.30 intervals, sometimes they need big damage at 2min intervals

balmy condor
#

I mean, they're both good

buoyant herald
#

that can change whatever is "best"

royal hull
buoyant herald
#

does it?

royal hull
#

It's so uncomfortable to play it

buoyant herald
#

man people raging in every channel about energy and im just not feeling it

balmy condor
#

it's just as slow as it is now

royal hull
#

Always being low on energy is really fked

buoyant herald
#

but you're not

subtle tundra
#

then assa isnt for you babe

royal hull
#

Xd

subtle tundra
#

assa isnt meant to have infinite energy

balmy condor
#

season 1 midnight is actually already pretty fast for assa

#

like

#

well above average

royal hull
#

Yea but at least before u had Good regen with the venomous wounds but now it's even worse

real pike
#

50+ apm?

balmy condor
#

it's better

buoyant herald
#

now you have good regen with apex talents 🤷‍♂️

balmy condor
#

the apex doesn't give that much

buoyant herald
#

but it reads like it should, and thats enough for me

royal hull
#

Then I guess I'm wrong then maybe it does feel good

#

But when I compare it to outlaw it just feels rly slow

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I FUCKING WONDER

#

comparing a slow spec

subtle tundra
#

the highest apm spec?

buoyant herald
#

here we go

balmy condor
#

to one of the fastest

royal hull
#

Xd

balmy condor
#

that's really strange man

#

I wonder why the feel different

royal hull
#

Ikr

balmy condor
#

guess we'll never know!

royal hull
#

😂

buoyant herald
#

slow is good, aligns better with my mental

runic hinge
#

Compare Assa to feral

#

Better comparison. Both specs pool

#

At least feral used to pool idk if it still does

scarlet orbit
#

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

midnight atlas
#

outlaw gonna be better because its not tied to this 90s - 2 min crap Kappa

vestal wren
#

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)

sly kettle
#

Which poisons should I be using for which content?

#

I currently have Instant / Deadly / Wounding.

gleaming geyser
#

Always deadly poison, if you run dragon-tempered blades, amplifying second

sly kettle
#

Is there ever a use-case for the others, like PvP?

severe meadow
#

PvP probably has different uses for the utility poisons

#

As for pve Theres not too much variation

weary stump
#

The answer is truly that pvp isn't real

vestal tapir
#

can I use plater / platynator to make my nameplates a certain color if they're missing rupture + garrote?

spice surge
#

Nop

#

Thats one of the things theyve explicitly removed now in midnight

sly kettle
#

And for good reason IMO

vestal tapir
#

awful

#

back to outlaw then

crude helm
#

Well fwiw

#

You don’t really need to track when bleeds fall off

#

Refresh bleeds -> Hit crimson tempest a couple times and your good

lucid walrus
#

Do we lose AoE blind in midnight?

merry raven
#

yep 🙁

buoyant herald
#

Well it still works despite tooltip

#

So use it while they haven’t noticed yet

lucid walrus
#

Bruhhhh hopefully they don’t realize

royal lantern
#

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

gray raven
#

Do the dungeons have lots of AOE stops?

#

i thought that was out

buoyant herald
#

Depends how much you pull

#

Blind is a pure interrupt though, like it’ll get broken instantly and it won’t lock out spells

gray raven
#

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

buoyant herald
#

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

severe meadow
#

Now we blind a random caster so tank can pull more garf

gray raven
#

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

buoyant herald
#

Tbh you’ve never had to do that just to time except at the literal WF key level

#

Except maybe priory lol

gray raven
#

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

sacred oyster
#

does blind work on the alarm siren things in ara?

severe meadow
#

Yes

blazing totem
#

while historically that class had ok utility while also being lust class for m+ purposes

#

but they remove ours lol

mint urchin
blazing totem
#

yes

mint urchin
#

It's crap

#

It's 4 target

blazing totem
#

3 targets more than waht rogue can do

mint urchin
#

Sure but most won't even run it

blazing totem
#

I will take take aoe blind if it's only 4 targets, thank you

mint urchin
#

It just functions basically as a ST stun if you can't control what else it stops

#

So you would just take reduced cd

blazing totem
#

well they did lose bursting so I guess they are not that better off actually

mint urchin
#

And knock up trap

blazing totem
#

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

pliant remnant
#

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

blazing totem
#

in retrospect, hunter wasnt a good comparison xD

merry raven
#

make iron wire spread again

frank trench
#

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 enragedead

static glacier
#

people might not value it from a meta perspective but it is valuable.

mint urchin
#

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

runic hinge
#

I’d rather play rogue cause everything else feels like shit to play

buoyant herald
#

i was setting up a bunch of prospective alts last night and i hated almost everything else

runic hinge
#

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

zenith tree
spice surge
#

Not dying is a pretty good characteristic

mint urchin
#

It is nice

spice surge
#

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)

stray ridge
#

Heya, do we really play now Fatebound but in Midnight again Death Stalker? I am confused and i dont really like Fatebound ^^

spice surge
#

Theyre still tuning stuff so it could change

weary stump
#

Our fates are bound to it garf

mint urchin
spice surge
#

Yeah but 20% is not always enough to make sure you never die, whereas 40% is most of the time

mint urchin
#

No for sure, but at least it is something

#

It def felt better on outlaw when paired up with high vers stacking

pearl dragon
#

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

orchid pewter
#

you just use your eyes

#

same as before

subtle tundra
#

so if theres 3 enemies

#

you use it once

#

if theres 5 enemies

#

you use it

#

erm

#

idk...

mint urchin
pearl dragon
#

unironically huge ty

frank trench
#

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?

sacred oyster
#

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

latent kernel
sacred oyster
latent kernel
#

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

sacred oyster
#

that def lines up with what i feel lol. im like ffs whys this frost mage with 15 ilvl behind me pacing me

mint urchin
#

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

latent kernel
#

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

sacred oyster
#

was more lower keys for that frost mage, some people switched to alts so yeah even quicker dieing on 5s

balmy condor
#

But yes, it is most efficient to bleed everything

balmy condor
#

Like the fucking headache of the mark

#

For 1.5% dps or whatever it is

proven jasper
balmy condor
#

Just isn’t worth it for 99.9% on people

#

I’m like hey….i just cast ct 5 times on this giga pull…..wait how long was i at max cp 🤣

severe meadow
#

I didn’t have too much issue transferring over to new CT

#

It felt good to me tbh

lime onyx
#

New CT feels sooo good compared to IC imo

severe meadow
#

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

frank trench
#

I wish bleed out was more impactful 🙂

#

Or used

#

Sudden demise had such big dopamine hits.

balmy condor
#

It’s just everything else is so strong

#

The cost to take sudden demise is crazy

frank trench
#

Yeah its bonkers how expensive it is

signal karma
#

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?

spice surge
#

spread to 2 mobs per cast

signal karma
#

Gotcha, thanks

amber maple
#

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?

severe meadow
balmy condor
#

He is watching

#

Observing me

#

I am being looked at

amber maple
#

Indeed

#

I am hearing the words you said

balmy condor
amber maple
#

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

severe meadow
#

Apex is technically optional

balmy condor
#

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

amber maple
#

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

balmy condor
#

The spec points can go anywhere, but the apex talents are too strong to ignore

amber maple
#

I feel mildly mislead

#

🥺

severe meadow
#

I hope you like Kingsbane, buddy

amber maple
#

I was looking forward to more freedom in my build

#

Kingsbane seems cool to me

severe meadow
#

Nah builds are pretty tight again, not too much variation rn

amber maple
#

Is there something wrong with it?

severe meadow
#

It good

amber maple
#

I like the assassination cooldowns

#

The red one with thats like 3 minutes with the white scratch marks and the kingsbane

severe meadow
#

Also any testing I did was with FB

#

anything deathstalker I am not a knower of

amber maple
#

Me either

#

I use it in pvp tho

severe meadow
#

Deathmark

amber maple
#

Yeah deathmark

balmy condor
#

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%

amber maple
#

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

severe meadow
#

Outlaw got punched on the head recently

amber maple
#

In.. a cool way? Or it sucks now?

severe meadow
#

Bladefurry got nuked a bit

amber maple
#

Great

#

🥺

severe meadow
#

I don’t personally know how big the impact was but Zac was on demon time

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

Tbf, Zac is always on demon time when outlaw gets changed

amber maple
severe meadow
#

Real, that’s why I don’t know if it’s that bad

amber maple
#

But I often find myself wanting the walking fast when invisible talent

severe meadow
#

It sounded bad

amber maple
#

I just like to go fast

balmy condor
#

It sounds bad

#

But like giga aura buff

amber maple
#

25% more speed when stealthed is so good (to me)

balmy condor
#

It’s probably fine

#

Ya kno

severe meadow
#

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

amber maple
#

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

balmy condor
#

The 10% was beta

amber maple
#

Oh ok

balmy condor
#

Prepatch is not tuned

amber maple
#

That makes sense

balmy condor
#

Like purposefully avoided tuning

#

But people still are like “oh assa bad in prepatch so it’s bad in beta”

amber maple
balmy condor
#

When they’re completely different KEKL

amber maple
#

I dont feel bad in pre patch

#

This patch made me like rogue again and I find it compelling and fun

balmy condor
#

I mean prepatch itself is such a joke that it probably obscures it

amber maple
#

And I feel strong because I can control fights really well and my toolkit feels like I can handle any situation

balmy condor
#

But assa is objectively dirt tier atm

severe meadow
#

Assa is realy bad rn yeah

amber maple
#

Damn

#

I guess ignorance is bliss

severe meadow
#

At least in raid, I felt okay in m+

amber maple
#

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

severe meadow
#

Hopefully blind doesn’t get fixed :^)

amber maple
#

Players too lol and if it gets bad just throw some dirt on them and vanish and reset

#

What's broken about it?

balmy condor
#

it's aoe and shouldn't be

severe meadow
#

I’m pretty sure it’s not intended to be aoe

#

Yeah what that guy said

amber maple
#

Huh. Mine isn't 🤔

#

I thought that was a talent

#

That for some reason we dont take

severe meadow
#

Most do

amber maple
#

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

severe meadow
#

You sacrifice a lot to get something like sudden demise

amber maple
#

Yeah :/

severe meadow
#

Just not worth unfortunately

amber maple
#

In the midnight will we get that turbo charge talent?

#

That makes super charged combo points?

severe meadow
#

Supercharger?

amber maple
#

Yeah

severe meadow
#

I think we put 1 point into it

amber maple
#

Interesting

#

I do like recuperator too

#

Little mini sustain that is always up

#

And the leech poison

#

Rogue feels pretty sturdy

severe meadow
#

It’ll feel a bit better when we get apex for the energy regen

amber maple
#

Yeah I am super excitedb

#

Up to 80% more energy regen

severe meadow
#

Since rupture sniping is deadge

#

No fun instant max energy garf

amber maple
#

Was that like snapshotting rupture? It seems like snapshotting isnt really a thing anymore?

severe meadow
#

It got turbo nerfed

balmy condor
#

rupture gave a bunch of energy back when a target died

#

gave past tense

amber maple
#

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

balmy condor
#

that is how assa has always worked, yes

amber maple
#

So energy regen actually feels good in massive pulls in mythic+

balmy condor
#

but it got nerfed

#

so bitr harder

amber maple
#

True

#

The crimson vial is energy hungry to actually spread out the bleeds and poisons

lean plover
#

used to be an aoe dot finisher

amber maple
#

Oh like the feral AoE rip one

lean plover
#

yep, more or less the same

amber maple
#

I do think its weird we have no aoe finisher

#

You aoe and then just.. Envenom one guy lol

lean plover
#

the new version is imo better, makes spreading dots more consistent

#

i mean why add a 2nd finisher to envenom, the spec

amber maple
#

Unless envenom has a cleave effect or something?

lean plover
#

caustic spatter

amber maple
#

Ah true

lean plover
#

so kingsbane envenom and your weapon poisons cleave in aoe

amber maple
#

Well good to know ive been doing it right

#

I play a maghar orc lol

#

I dont know if the racial is very good

lean plover
#

racials are whatever, maghar is a good one for dps tho

amber maple
#

I just like how he looks because I made him a laughing skull with the mask and everything

severe meadow
#

Go human like me so you can racial out of stuns when you tunnel mechanics

lean plover
#

great, its better to choose them for aesthetics

amber maple
#

I kinda wanna be a troll though 🤔

#

Trolls are so cool

lean plover
#

unless you are clearing hardest content and need min max

amber maple
#

Hard to pick between orc or troll

lean plover
#

trolls are awesome but they got no feet tmog

severe meadow
#

Imo orc prob looks better in mogs

amber maple
#

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

severe meadow
#

Can do daggers into any one handed weapons now

#

Time to bring it back

amber maple
#

Thats true

#

And the tier 9 armor lmao

severe meadow
#

I need to dig around and find something to match my mog

#

Weapons wise

amber maple
#

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

severe meadow
#

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

amber maple
#

What happened?

severe meadow
#

Was after the pre patch update

#

Made it jank on the character screen

amber maple
#

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

haughty flicker
#

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

amber maple
#

Thats so wack lmao

severe meadow
#

Looking cute bel

amber maple
#

But youre not wrong a lot of armor colors are not right

#

My orc looks crusty

frank trench
#

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.

lucid rune
#

lol

#

prepatch sin numbers are poo. Are they fine in beta?

balmy condor
#

yes

lucid rune
#

...even though I kinda agree with you... outlaw's prettyyyy fun...

#

even though I've been a sin lifer

frank trench
#

All rogue specs are pretty fun right now

lucid rune
#

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

frank trench
#

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

lucid rune
#

big numbers go brrrrr

#

the snap aoe is juicy

frank trench
#

I mean proper cooldown usage is an art

#

Vs blind sending

lucid rune
#

can't decide if I miss symbols or not

#

fine with rupture peacing out

wise creek
#

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 ?

balmy condor
#

no

frank trench
#

It’s a feature!

spice surge
#

Not pressing a button every global is how the spec is intended to play

lucid rune
#

let those dots burnnnn

haughty flicker
#

spam detection while you wait

frank trench
#

I’m actually having a really hard time deciding which rogue spec I want to main :0

#

Which is rare

wise creek
#

so the deal is to pool energy once we dropped envenom chain right ?

lucid rune
#

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

knotty vapor
#

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.

lucid rune
#

slick

knotty vapor
#

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

frank trench
#

lol I have spent like 24 hours on my ui

#

It’s maddening….

knotty vapor
#

I spent like 10 hours on this addon, most of it was learning LUA

vale shore
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
knotty vapor
#

but the rest of my UI is default

frank trench
#

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

stray ridge
balmy condor
#

on beta?

lucid rune
#

...Deathmark isn't a snapshot ability right?

stray ridge
#

Retail

frank trench
#

Retail is basically a clown show right now

balmy condor
balmy condor
frank trench
#

Just play to learn the new spec a little and get your ui setup

lucid rune
# balmy condor no

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

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

you either desync it entirely

#

or you lose a cast

frank trench
#

In m+ I just assumed it’s good to desync and use it on next big pull :0

lucid rune
#

I guess they could line up again running to a pack

frank trench
#

If I know a huge huge hold all cooldowns pack is coming up I’ll lose a cast to sync

stray ridge
balmy condor
#

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

stray ridge
#

It just feel like random damage with fatebound dunno why

balmy condor
#

idk why you feel that either

mint urchin
#

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

latent kernel
#

It just feels extremely clunky

balmy condor
#

no

spice surge
#

Considering it's been this way for like 10+ years I wouldn't hold my breath for them to change it

latent kernel
#

Well that’s dumb and stupid

haughty flicker
mild pulsar
#

is 17k a terrible dps on sim? I legit don't know what to do. start to think my stat distribution is just bad

wicked valve
#

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.

mild pulsar
#

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.

little tulip
#

keep ct up if 3-5 mobs drop garrote and live too long it gets weird

balmy condor
#

you should CT -> envenom until everything has bleeds

#

then fok -> envenom

little tulip
#

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

lucid rune
#

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?

balmy condor
#

you would probably refresh both

#

but it's kinda whatever

knotty vapor
#

how's our single target dps looking in raid on beta?

#

compared to other classes

nova kelp
#

you mean given that all balancing is locked in and not going to change at all for the whole of midnight?

knotty vapor
#

yeah for sure totally that's exactly what I meant

#

glad u understand

balmy condor
#

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

knotty vapor
#

ah didn't realize there hadn't been a test in a while

balmy condor
#

they did the main set of mythic testing before the holidays

#

and then did a bonus test of 3 bosses 2 weeks ago

knotty vapor
#

is there a schedule or anything? Or just whenever they feel like it

balmy condor
#

they post testing schedules at the start of beta

#

do one round of testing

#

like thursday/friday heroic, then next thursday/friday mythic

#

and usually that's it

knotty vapor
#

I see

#

dart at the board I guess

#

HERE'S HOPING

balmy condor
#

I just went and checked

#

so they did heroic testing november 19/20/21

spice spire
balmy condor
#

and then took a week off for halloween I guess

knotty vapor
#

that november halloween

balmy condor
#

and then mythic testing was december 4/5/6

knotty vapor
#

halloween 2

balmy condor
#

whatever, tahnksgiving

#

same shit

knotty vapor
#

lmaoo

balmy condor

holiday

honest needle
#

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

prisma monolithBOT
#

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:

honest needle
#

or does anyone have a plater i can use

#

i honestly hate all these changes and i cant get my ui to work correctly

buoyant herald
#

Uninstall plater, install platynator

#

Jundies profile is out there to import, it’s pretty good

honest needle
#

@buoyant herald so no 1 uses plater anymore ?

#

whats this new 1 your talking about

buoyant herald
#

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

honest needle
#

@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 /

honest needle
#

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

golden loom
honest needle
#

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 ?

golden loom
#

it does though?

honest needle
#

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

golden loom
#

yeah as you can see on my cooldown manager, it does

honest needle
#

mine dont do that

#

what plater do u use

#

and cdmanager

golden loom
#

base CD manager, platynator with jundies profile

balmy condor
#

the problem is you have plater

#

plater is broken

honest needle
#

can u send me jundies string for -platynator ?

balmy condor
#

turn it off and it's instantly an improvement NODDERS

golden loom
honest needle
#

but also my cd manager isnt doing what his is

golden loom
#

what does yours look like

honest needle
#

doesnt track bleeds at all

#

just shows if i need to apply it or if its rdy to use

golden loom
#

guess thats an addon?

honest needle
#

using neph ui cd manager a skin for it

#

suppose to make it look better

#

but its not tracking anything correctly

golden loom
#

yeah idk, would just go default personally but it is what it is garf

honest needle
#

u use default ?

#

how did u make it look like that and make it fit perfectly between unit frames

golden loom
#

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

honest needle
golden loom
#

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 garf

honest needle
#

im trying to find where to make bars n debuffs bigger

#

do i click add widget setting ?

golden loom
#

just right click the thingy

#

or left click the bar

buoyant herald
#

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

honest needle
#

ya i like it just trying to find to make it cleaner so its easier to see the debuffs

buoyant herald
#

Click on the debuff. Change scale.

#

For the record I also made mine bigger from his preset

honest needle
#

and now do we just spam CT to apply bleeds once we put them on 1 target

#

untill its on all of them ?

buoyant herald
#

All of them

#

Because CT itself also hits hard

honest needle
#

i got that working now i just gotta get my cd manager working correctly i wish mine does what yours does

buoyant herald
#

But like. Use your head. Don’t spread bleeds to targets that’ll die in 2s

honest needle
#

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

buoyant herald
#

Only fok after everything is bleeding

golden loom
#

you replace fok with CT while you have tagets that need to bleed

buoyant herald
#

Again, within reason

golden loom
#

and then go back to fok cause its cheaper

honest needle
#

got it is it possible u can send me your string for your cd manager

#

maybe it will fix mine

golden loom
#

I can dm you it I guess

honest needle
#

id appreciate it

#

all these changes have been driving me insane and my Ui has been shit since

#

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

marsh fjord
#

They did it design wise.

#

They want you in midnight to pool after 5 evenoms and think about your energy.

keen quartz
#

Cool! That's good to know it's something I can change then. I'm absolutely loving the Crimson Tempest change.

analog field
#

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

marsh fjord
#

Yeah i dont feel like it's slow either. but it's def slower then before.

#

But that's what they wanted right.

keen quartz
#

Deathmark BEFORE Kingsbane right?

marsh fjord
ivory pine
#

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?

marsh fjord
marsh fjord
analog field
marsh fjord
analog field
#

every tick is calculated by your current buffs

ivory pine
#

Ahhhh ok, so if I mis-time my trinket I can recover slightly

marsh fjord
#

It's all dynamic, so it doesnt matter if you press trinkets before or after

analog field
#

i mean the buffs you have at the current second

analog field
ivory pine
#

Dope, thanks yall!

keen quartz
normal mist
#

No problem

keen quartz
#

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?

normal mist
#

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

severe meadow
#

DS is slightly ahead of FB in m+ but FB is way less headache without the mark management

grim jay
#

way less headache full on brain off

civic trellis
#

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

marsh fjord
spice surge
#

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

marsh fjord
#

We asked for better management and somehow

#

it got worse

gray raven
#

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.

grim jay
#

I am happy I have atleast something to do garf

runic hinge
#

It should have been a self buff

marsh fjord

been saying that since the dawn of times

#

But they won't listen bro

runic hinge
#

They hate us

marsh fjord
#

They do

real pike
#

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

glad snow
#

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

real pike
#

I really do not find the idea of empty GCDs while waiting for energy in m+ enthralling

coral ibex
#

i need time to tab out and refresh my afk mining in osrs

waxen oyster
#

lol

#

complainining assassination has downtime is probably one of the dumber things

glad snow
#

Doesn't every Rogue spec have downtime at this point

waxen oyster
#

sub barely does

marsh fjord
#

Only assa has downtime

#

outlaw/sub has not

#

sub is 63 APM atm @glad snow

glad snow
#

Sub now is the Ret paladin of Rogue

#

high apm, repetitive

marsh fjord
#

No not at all

glad snow
#

Isn't it 2-3 buttons rotation?

marsh fjord
#

Everything is 2/3 buttons

#

is everything then ret?

glad snow
#

By Ret I meant builder->finisher

#

back to back

marsh fjord
#

You backstab/strike, you need to press dance, you have storm, you have blackpowder, you have shadowblades.

marsh fjord
#

that's also enchancement

#

makes no sense what you saying really.

#

Just because we finish and generate back to back makes it ret?

proven latch
#

rogue is also literally the original builder spender?

marsh fjord
#

Every spec has nuances to it.

glad snow
#

I didn't mean to insult Sub bro,

#

I enjoy all Rogue specs atm

#

One more than the other

marsh fjord
#

Don't get me wrong, i dont mind insults to specs that fine. but i just dont agree with the opinion

trim monolith
#

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.

marsh fjord
#

when your lettign the stack drop is your downtime.

real pike
marsh fjord
#

even if you have energy you wouldnt cast anything

real pike
#

I am allowed to have an opinion about the changing style of the spec I've played and loved for years

real pike
#

Ok sorry

(I read nothing for context)

Got it. thank you

probably not worth it damage wise

Wasting points and globals

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

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.

wooden basin

#

I wasn't, I was trolling dungeons playing sub/outlaw
