Aldrachi is something like
~20%(?) loss to even talent into
and arcanes funnel is now down to something like 8 or 10% of their overall 
I think you may legitimently switch hero talents based on comp and key ngl
Meanwhile assa having 2 cds hit one mob and a big portion of aoe coming from slamming damage into one enemy

There is a thing known as "too much prio"
Well when ur boss dps in keys is like 75k :/
how does Assa compare in ST fights to sone other top ST specs?
Badly atm but nothing tuning cant solve
It SHOULD be a top st spec just based on its design but yknow
Numbers op
arms ignored even when being shittalked
arms is just shit
Arms? Yeah i have a couple.
shadow is legit unplayable
Tell me about it, have to do 100% perfect rotation to get even 50% of what every other class gets

Unplayably undertuned?
yes
Arms is worse numerically but spriest is like
shadow legit ain't pressin shadowform
Ugh
or voidform

Thatll get fixed just like not pressing pyro surely
By not pressing shadowform
Do you mean that thing that gives them 10% damage dealt
Or the stuff from void eruption
Or both
eruption
massive
Still dogshit but usable
Shadow word death is at best neutral to press under even perfect circumstances though so thst might just not be talented
Maybe in high keys
And yes in raid
Rogue op

don't worry, they'll rework it next season, just like they've done 3 seasons in a row
So for keys is it better to do the 65 secondary food or the 50 prime. Assuming you dont want to use a whole ass feast
prime
I figured as much, jsut making sure
how come sudden demise sometimes works and just sometimes doesn't lol
it's a weird thing like that
i just want a bleed build i can use for leveling/open-world
idk where i found this but this is where i'm at
that's the leveling build
how do u know

no clue
something tells me that i'm lacking critical information
I write all the guides
well, I don't write icyveins
but I give seli all the info for icyveins
Whispyr knows the wowhead writer
pretty much yeah
if it's anything related to assassination
I am kind of impossible to avoid
oh wait that's right
u also gave me that build from yesterday
i saved the img but never imported it
but i wouldn't have dragon-tempered blades 
correct

yeah that's true
you even obliged with a build for me to use
that, i appreciate
i am a glutton for punishment
Probably a very common question - how much worse percentage wise is Fatebound over Deathstalker in AOE scenarios? I did a few heroics as Deathstalker and feeling like I want to change specs, if not classes after those 😄
depends on the aoe
the more the aoe, the worse fb is
but it's comparable on like 8 targets
and fatebound is more overall damage in dungeons typically
Well on anything over like 6 targets the spec plays awfully anyway so I'll take it 😄
More crimson tempest casts though? Or am I playing it wrong and just supposed to cast it like twice max?
I mean you just ct -> envenom
instead of ct -> envenom and then fok -> envenom
but like on 5 targets you'd ct twice
on 50 you'd ct more obviously
but it's still ct -> env
your rotation doesn't really change at all
I meant more feeling wise as I feel like I have to afk a couple of seconds energy wise after two CTs, dunno probably doing something wrong
oh
yeah
that's the good part though
if we didn't have to afk and proc implacable and shit we'd just be sub rogues
and everyone bitches about sub being boring 
imma assume that's sarcasm because there's no way you've been stockholm syndrome'd into thinking going afk for a few seconds in a huge m+ pack is enjoyable 🥸
I do actually
and I always have said taht
assassination is slow
its been slow for 20 years
Game feel is different now though - I can afk autoattack in classic all day but it still feels awful to do on retail
yeah, and it's a damn shame the only thing that exists to manage energy is the first apex point
Same way I feel for SnD before TWW pruning, there's slow and methodical and then there's just going afk while everyone else gets to press impactful buttons
cause I wish there was about 6 more of those talents
Yeah might just be that implacable is bad/undertuned - maybe it'd be better if it activated on envenom cast rather than expiry without stacking or something so you felt a bit more control over the regen
I think the concept is that it procs when you need it ie not enough energy for another envenom
But it still feels bad, at least to me - i'm not sure if it's because it's just undertuned or because the gameplay concept doesn't appeal to me as you feel penalised for chaining properly and then your reward is to afk for a long time with your next set of chaining being gimped further by no longer have thistle tea as a crutch
I did everything I can think to do and am still like 60 veteran crests shy of cap.
Is there anything not obvious I'd be missing? Did all hard prey/0's events etc.
I think you just farm heroics?
yeh
can also do random heroic hunts apparently
i havent bothered farming crests though
Yeah they’ll cap out when mplus comes out with all the overflow
If you do random prey hunts you get 15 Vet crests
and theres no cap on doing them.
Is it still crit>haste for m+ prio, I mean everything is really an upgrade at this point, but thought I saw people talking haste a day or two back
yes, crit > haste everywhere
Is there a threshold of %life on mobs in mythic+ were spreading bleeds with crimson tempest is not worth it? If a non prio mob is 20% life and should I get bleeds on it in aoe packs for example.
This will depend if you’re taking sudden demise or not
Looks like most mythic+ guides don’t use it so I prob won’t
SD is kinda ass
It’s 1hr for both trickster specs (outlaw / sub)
Yeah right now it’s not looking great, but it does change the damage per cast of bleeds vs targets that would die before the bleed has finished
Normally we don’t look at mob % hp, instead using TTK (Time to Kill) instead. Back in tww it was 9 secs to spread rupture (we had much better energy refund / sniping though)
i think the worst part of midnight is they stole bonespikes vfx for unholy apex talent
Ye I had visions of maintaining envenom chains for entire fights
we can track apex now right?
Hello guys,
Is it normal i feel i have no energy every time ?
yes, it's intended
can i ask 2 Q for clarification:
- with the m+ talents we use FoK on 2+ targets?
- on aoe opener - after the 2 garrotes - do we rupture on 4 cp and ct it or use one fok to get to 5+ cp and then rupture and ct it?
thx in advance
- yes
- no, you never finish on 4cp ever ever ever ever EVER it's really fucking bad, press a fok
Holy shit is that Zendaya??

is shiv not needed for kingsbane anymore?
no it does not amp dmg anymore its pretty much just a soothe now
ok tysm
also is vanish still able to amp kingsbane dmg if used during the ending seconds? or just normal priorities during kingsbane
No, the use for vanish now is to enable improved garrote for dm
are we rogues just fucked in pvp atm?
sub or sin for M0s/mythic +
Sub will get infinitely more value right now since everything dies in 0.5 seconds
Sub just slams everything, but theres a small downtime between bursts which is normal ofc.
I am an Assa freak, but first time I am investing time in Sub, as its more simplified and actually feels rewarding.
Does anyone know of the pitiful energy back on Venomous Wounds (kill) is intentional or not?
I feel like weird if they nerfed it this much, wasn't that overpowered was it? Kinda niche quality of life thing
Word, assa feels clumsy sadly...
not a fan of the apex talent regen
well, it was never supposed to give back so much energy in the first place, it was bugged for ages
brother, sorry but thats also just kinda "instant burst spec VS setup spec"

idk. its just feels awkward to play, and i´ve mainly played ass thru the years
Lol the class fantasy of rogue is that it's either broken for good or bad, but always broken 
I remember echoing reprimand not working with Deathstalker for months :')
Apologies if this has been asked, are there any sort of Sims for rogues? cant seem to find any for reference
it was like
the refund was 2x higher then it was supposed to be
and that got fixed, and at the same time DRASTICALLY reduced
So I hate the way the CDM looks with the overlayed buff duration, how it's the pale yellow transparent radial swipe
Has anyone found an addon that masks it differently?
Or adds the old "Edge" thing WA used to have?
where the edge of the swipe had a distinct clock-hand
ahh cdm centered has some settings
Pretty sure this is a basic question - but, do you actually play around kingsbane? I know it stacks with letal poisons but I can't tell if I should be adjusting my playstyle in the kingsbane window
is assassination super weak feeling rn or is it just me
It’s under tuned
Im bout to change speccs like.. im hitting my buttons and im just tickling them.
Reroll DK
Sub feels pretty okay rn since a lot of stuff dies really quick in the current content we have
Assa is a ramp class so it's not like we have instant big damage
Personally in what I've done, Assa has felt pretty alright
let me finish gearing her a little more.. im.. curious
It could be literally because she isn't in heroic gear yet.
max level pre-gearing is about as weak as a wow character can ever feel
bc the world is scaled to max level but you have no stats
See, I didn't feel that with my mage.
I was melting shit over and over again
but like, Mage just feels super busted rn
For what it's worth, my Rogue is 239
I'm leveling my mage rn and I can say it does feel pretty smooth
You can’t do anything to help kingsbane other than maintain envenom (which is basically perma uptime to begin with) and making sure you’re auto attacking
ty - Thought as much, just wanted to make sure I'd not missed anything
is this UI public ?
no
it’s just my personal one, i’m not publishing work anymore
also it’s pretty much just luxthos with some thing nudged around (he put out a video about a month ago with all the details)
i’m leveling as assa and i have to say them moving vw down to its new position is fucking criminal
for leveling purposes
Yeah but vw sucks
So it’s kinda okay
not for the rupture return on enemies dying which is constantly happening while leveling
The thing that got nerfed by 90%?
IM FUCKING STARVING OUT HERE OK
1 energy per tick btw
you don’t get it do you you selfish monster hoarding all the energy for yourself
btw thoughts on punk punch?
it doesn’t help that i have refused to equip a single piece of gear a quest has given me since starting this character so things hurt and don’t die quickly
Planning one as well actually
Went for enhance as an alt.. both F tier but soon SSS+ tier
Do you guys think whispyr prefers assa being an energy starved class so he has an excuse to drink more white monster?
Absolutely
Haven’t had it
you solved the secret
Do you think Whispyr prefers assa being an energy starved class because he’s secretly gooning in his videos all the time and needs the tactical break between each edge sesh to press a single CT in aoe
If u can't tabweave or monster-weave during rotation whats the point
chomp
That spell is so bad it won't even make it into pure single target builds
thank god
When u edge so hard the tempest becomes crimson? Yeah. I need a doctor
Should reroll paladin then
Gonna respec assa to lvl, rip
I mean surely Paladin isn't this bad
looks like a leveling dungeon
I don't trust shit from pre 90 dungeons
the level scaling is all sorts of loopy
I played with some rets that were doing fine damage, so yeah
Or they just didnt have cds and spagetti'ed their rotation during the pack
does this go crazy for sin
or do i give it to my friends potential non main character
he said i should take if its good for sin (on paper it looks like it) but idk how it is relative to average m0 trinket
sims good for me but it could be bc im in poverty and there is no droptimizer
it's fine yeah
its like really good for him but he might not play that char for prog
np
double passive
my beloved.....
charrend, if I never fix puzzle box cast sequencing in sims
and you just tell everyone its bad
together we can gaslight the community into not using that shit trinket
thoughts?

oh yeah its just to go crazy on heroic week
So what's the thinking so far, are we thinking there will be any tuning on the 17th in sin rogue favour? I've played it a bit and it seems to be lagging behind somewhat.
Hmm ill go with "i just never looted the feather idk"
Unlucky
depends on what the tuning goal is
if 85k ST is the tuning goal, then we're not seeing anything, and like 35 specs are getting nerfed

tanks are doing giga dam
demo lock is doing giga dam
they're getting nerfed for sure
the rest? no clue
am i imagining things that the spec feels SOOOO energy starved its almost stuck at times?
there are moments where you have downtime yes
Nerf all ranged specs, buff all melee specs
palas are getting nerfed
did some m0 today and the tank was chain pulling more or less the whole dungeon or rather to all the bosses. even with energy pooling it was nearly impossible to avoid downtimes
damage was fine though so i guess thats how blizz wants it
yep
the issue isn't that there's downtime, it's the apex is the only thing to do in order to "manage" energy
i wonder how many tuning passes will happen after the 17th
with how fucked the tuning is right now
they probably need like 15
they also said they don't intend to tune during the race
which I find impossible
idk how they imagine that happening
did they not say they were going to tune every one of the 4 weeks starting from HC week launch, but after the first two tuning passes, once mythic launches, the changes wont be as heavy handed?
something like that
but like
they have to be heavy handed with how shit it is 
they have put themselves into a corner
for no reason at all
Fucking yolo, at least the shit show will probably be memorable
I agree, but I am expecting big dick swinging changes for March 17 and 24 at least
god I fucking hope
my headcanon is blizz got rid of whoever was doing internal sims, got used to using community sims, the community sims are giga late this tier, so they put off any tuning as long as they could 
they need to take demo lock out to the back and guardian druid whilst they are at it
UHDK is giga as well
Race might be interesting to watch then if balancing is scuffed. I'm intrigued.
Rwf will be 14 mages of various specs

bring out the nuke on 17th for hc week, then adjust for some semblance of normalcy on the 24th for mythic launch
with HC data
well considering they have literally never done that dont get your hopes up
then when mythic data comes in and specs that got fucked from HC data (assa season 1 dragonflight my beloved) they adjust for mythic i guess
well, as far as I am aware, they have never put off tuning for so long up to HC week either
I will say though that part of this is cope because I would love a giga tuning nuke
Its going to be a shit show
no balance during that 1 month period of end of beta-early release is pretty common
it does seem plausible
its just the general balance has never been so bad as its right now
not even start of SL
i feel like guardian druid being top dps levels of stupid would probably have been reigned in before even though nothing matters atm
this i defintely agree with
so maybe im just seeing the absolute state of balance atm and the only conclusion I can draw is that a nuke is coming cause otherwise just FF it
no one is working at blizzard otherwise
like Eleem said
expect alot of notes on hc week but probably very few nukes
and then the rest will come 3 weeks after
Is there two more tunning right?
since the "real" race starts on 31st
march 17th patch notes:
demonlogy nerfed (it ends up being 0.7%)
arms buffed (in pvp)
ret pala bug fix (its a nerf)
thats it

?
guardian druid bug fix (it's a buff)
they said 4 passes, one each week starting from 17th march
then about monthly after that
So two more
hope the fix assa



Feral buffed to number 1
might as well give feral an assassination hero talent tree to let them poison their claws
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Assa hero talents are so bad why would feral want them
nah its a new hero talent just called assassination and they just get our class abilities
guys, do you use elvui ?
or Shadow unit frame ? and its possible to chargez a profil ?
so after scrolling up a bit, it isnt just me? Sin rogue is in the grave atm
Yes after half of the first week of a untuned pre-season Assa is dead for the expansion. Pack it up.
so when I put "atm" I was referring to the upcoming balance patches. I apologize if this was not clear
I wouldn't say assa is in the grave
there are far worse specs
there's also just far better
I feel like Aff lock is pretty low in ST and its blowing out my Rogue Sadge
which, most of the raid isnt ST, so
imagine implacable just popped at max stacks
I'd rather not
I think you should still be able to let it expire how it does now, but also I cant count to 5 and over use envenom
If it auto procced at max then the only piece of energy management is deleted instantly
Like at that point just delete the energy bar
No need to look at it
does subtlety have the same energy issues as assa?
no
May i interest you in a systemic shock +5% and doomblade 3% sir?
issue or part of the spec gameplay?
it feels right to me. Maybe they could reduce it further somewhat
I'd prefer if they changed like 3 or 4 talents to help promote actually managing energy
made the base spec slower, and then buffed the apex
I wish implacable really made us pool and amped the damage we do each stack but increase energy costs so hitting 5 stacks mattered
Ye
put rapid injection higher, and then put that in there
every envenom in chain does 10% more
banger
But at what tho? In m0 content? We don't really have anything to truly compare perf. Outside of sims I guess
This would be cool if it had a balance between keep chaining going and "I need energy"
10% more damage and 5 extra energy cost
That would be sick
i have an easy proposal to fix assa. Implacable duration increased from 5s to 12s. It would fix most of our problems
sims and training dummy. I guess my main issue is implacable just feels awkward
i would also love removeal of stealth dependancy
stealth dependancy of what
imp garrote :^)
But that's not improved.. My dps, or something
true mb
no stealth gameplay, no stealth damage, no dead gcds, infinite energy, pressing a generator more than twice is dogshit, combine ct and fok, then combine fok and mut, and also combine rupture and garrote, and also this spec is boring I hate it
I thought sub was down bad but I guess all specs got fucked huh
assassination is fine
I mean, stuff dies pretty quick
its good
it's fun
community seems to not know what the hell they want
cause sub is seen as giga boring 2 button gameplay
can we turn our energy red and have it give us more when we hit stuff?
but then all the suggestions of how to "fix assa" are just turning it into giga boring 2 button gameplay
so like
what the fuck is blizzard supposed to do

Look it needs to be simple but complex, easy but deep, slow and methodical but fast, with pooling but also infinite energy

I don't mind managing energy, I just want energy to never stop me from using abilities that cost energy
what's so hard to understand about that
but also backstab feels bad cause it doesn't do damage and also ct feels bad cause it does too much
and don't give me any buttons
just give me the same spec
but with everything changed
Finally you understand
just get CT with Fok talent should be a very good start point of optimization for now. There is no reason to wait and see data to do this.

just make assa do broken dmg and suddenly everyone will tell you how great and methodical its gameplay is
common, you know its true 
always has been
survival hunter going from "its ruined wtf" into "the rework is SO AWESOME" in 3 days cus it is overtuned
and you just know what will happen in 9 days
for a class that help in almost no aspect other than its own output, it is normal people dont know what they want about it other than bigger numbers.

Survival is all hate on theme, it's driving me crazy
People are mad it got a gun
so outlaw then
wow i wasn't aware that rogue discord is this based xD trrrrue
Bro I have never seen people so thematically driven as the hunter community
if survival is following the outlaw lore, get ready for survival hunters to be mad about everything for the next decade
dude it's fucking sunny outside fuck blizzard
big dam make neuron activate
i mean, thats literally just wow players
everytime people say "its so much fun", its 99% cus it does big dmg
and "its so clunky and needs fundamental changes"? almost always just when tuning is low lol
if wow players could do a 1 button dps rotation and top the meters
they'd enjoy the fuck out of it
and say it's the best rotation ever
They did for awhile

yeah but they love to deny it, i've only started playing rogue in midnight and im having a blast xD i just feel bad for you guys because its not like it used to be or whatever im not sure need to dive deeper
I think that just happened in Beta brewmaster tank in test.
I think they said something like " I just used blizzard one button rotation and topped damage meter"
to be fair, brewmaster rotation is just tiger palm
Based gameplay
does CT bleed spread prioritize mobs that don't have bleed on them already?
yes
so i guess even at max level assa runs out of energy? is there no build to make it not run out of energy even if it sucks?
you'll generally have higher energy when it matters during kingsbane and deathmark, with higher levels of haste and crit it will probably feel pretty good energy wise but yeah there will be some downtime
the spec is designed to run out of energy
energy still an issue at max level?

I wonder
you cannot expect ever another 10.0 endless energy patch to arrive to Sin any more.
Wish more classes had the Warlock's content creator equivalent. Would probably make things a ton clearer for gen pop players like myself
Energy command time? 
Mfw the energy class has to manage energy
You mean other then Whispyr or Shindig that both provide full guides?
I have done a lot of searching and dont recognize either of those names.
Nothing against, will look them up
Whispyr literally said something 3 messages up lol
I have seen someone named Marc** and dalaran gaming, which were good initially, but not a lot of depth
I dont read names in discord bro
Assa better than sub but energy is hell
Nor would I know he does content without seeing him in my personal searches
is devs show the feedbacks about classes or not?
I dunno my guy, both of them show up within 5 videos for Assassination midnight on YouTube. But check them out
They will probably have what you want
Okay shindig was like 8, but Whisp does!
I will check them out, but not sure why you come across offended. Incognito tab and 1 of them showed up as the 13th video after 2 rows of shorts. And I clicked and they dont seem to upload often at all. Again, ill check them out, sure there is lots to learn, but my oc stands in my mind.
Not offended, just more... Confused that you made it to the rogue disc in Whispyrs moderated channel
Without noticing his name
But it's all g
i hope people want a rogue in mithic raid 🙁
? I googled Rogue discord and clicked on the Assassination channel. No idea what you are on about. Even when I played before I only ever saw JPC's content as a pvper.
Am i supposed to re-cast envenom when my current envenom buff is about to drop off? Or should I be chain-firing envenoms until I'm OOE
Content creators are cool, but Wowhead guides are generally a solid go to for learning a new class/spec. Ironically, Whispyr is our writer there too (and a bigger employee overall I think for wowhead). I think he's also a Diablo fiend on the side like me.
Fire them off, the buff is like 3 billion percent uptime with zero effort
There’s no headroom to try and maximize the uptime
Do you want to blow all your energy so you'll naturally let the energy stuff from implacable happen?
I’m the manager of all the class guides actually, so true
Otherwise when I was pooling and got lucky I could be at 80 for a while.
Yep
i dont understand our apex talent then
Well, naturally or just stopping on purpose
we want to keep envenom up
If you hit max
but we're energyt starved
if we let if fall, we'll get more energy regen
but we dont want that?
We don’t care about letting it fall
I felt like when I stopped on purpose I would get precariously close to energy capping sometimes
Like aside from being at 80 stacks of implacable and waiting for envenom to drop
There is no reason to look at envenoms buff
i cant for the life of me enjoy subtlety cuz the effects are corny so i guess im stuck with ass
Do you have any idea how uncomfortable it is to see your writing in an AI response
lol
Craft a dagger -> wrist
“Wrists are weaker gear slots, making it a good slot to craft for embellishments” is something I wrote in like season 2
this wasnt for me I know how to read
It’s like uncanny sometimes
uncanny vallley
AI speak and spell clankers are funny and all but shit gets real when the clanker is doing the speak and spell with your own words
anyway, I hope you are doing good
It’s the difference between a childhood doll
And hearing fucking chucky at the end of your bed
Is there any easy way to track implacable until they (hopefully) fix it?
No
fantastic
Now just get them to do wow spell tooltips! Hmm
how to make tooltips worse for 500
While I'm just joking on it, I do have to ask, would it be worse then tooltips that sometimes are actually just straight lying to you?
That’s already a thing
I was just being garbage discord user harking back to conversations long gone
People have been using AI icons for a long time 
Devs listening to feedbacks?
What does that mean
How would I know that
What feedback even
Just any?
It’s kinda crazy how many questions can spawn from an original question
Hahaha
I mean they listen or seeing the feedbacks from people tried the classes or not to see what problem is to fix it

I’m not a dev how would I know
Changes happen or they don’t idk man
They added implacable recently
That’s something people asked for
It is ass
So like, I guess
That is the point of the spec yes
hope they seeing the feedbacks no one like it like that
Plenty of people like it though
In tww this problem doesnt exist right?
ive been energy starved since i started
it's been a core feature of assassination since like 2014
I've been playing since the end of mop/start of wod
and assassination has been slow, energy starved, with downtime and dead gcds
since I've started

does anyone have any youtube links of assassination doin mythic0?
I feel like way more people get put off by it than the few that stay regardless of it
good
my vod should be up on twitch but idk any youtube links
that's fine
everyone doesn't need to like every spec
and every spec shouldn't play the same
it's okay for assassination to be capped by resources, it's one of the few to do so
having that gameplay and archetype be available for people is a good thing
you will play assa or sub
I've played basically only assa so far, but I played sub in some of the m0 dungeons I did this week
so you will main assa this season
as with most seasons in the last 8ish years, yes
!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 dont disagree but it kinda sucks that the one spec i like aesthetically has such a massive turn off
Did they get rid of weakauras?
yes
I hate subtlety aesthetic why am i naruto
pretty traditional rogue aesthetic idk
just close your eyes when you play then they all have the same aesthetic
regardless of how I feel though, blizzard did say they want assassination to be slow and methodical, managing energy as a core rotational gameplay
they kinda failed miserably in that, not because it's slow, but because there's basically no management 
idk
when they said that
it's fun still
100%
slaming crit and haste will fix it eventually
the raid build of assa is literally faster than any version of tww btw
you will install video? Tryied assa m0
I'm not uploading the vod to youtube, no
where
whispyrttv, should be linked to my discord, no?
is outlaw any better about energy?
idk what you're expecting to see, it's just m0's 
outlaw is one of the fastest specs in the game yeh
adrenaline rush reduces their gcd even further than the cap
all energy specs have a 1s gcd, adrenaline rush pushes it as low as 0.8
Holy yea... thats really freaking creepy.
Welcome to the future, instead of reading a human’s words, you’re gonna read a robot that read a human’s words and will regurgitate it at you with twice as many words, three lists, a handful of emojis, and an overly positive attitude
The worlds economy hinges on this technology btw
We’re definitely not in hell :3
it could be worse
at least governments arent pressuring companies to remove restrictions on using their ai to harm people
that would suck
people not realizing how fast modern assa is
funny
idk buddy, seems to me like youve been doing more management lately than ever before?
Well imma go onto a mountaintop and become a hermit then lol




Why do so many people want Assa to be 60 apm mut mut envenom spec
i want assa to be 200 apm class i want to do 2000 billion damage per second
i also want good aoe
make assa just spam fok at 300apm
legion flashback
They wanna be outlaw so bad
60apm envenom spam
"why does envenom do no damage assa has no burst, this sucks"
many such cases
shit game
People come to the spec that has had downtime since I started playing it and complain it has downtime as if that was something blizz was trying to fix
sin has always been like this
i mean if you want smth fast you roll outlaw , fury even
They do this in feral as well
People expect every spec to be abc
And get upset when they find one that isnt
I cringe a little everytime someone says energy starved
to be fair, blizzard said they wanted to add more energy management
and their fucking energy management ended up being a single talent
so that's a bit cringe
my copium is that if blizzard would stop being such pussies about resource management
and just fucking commit to something for once in their god damn lives
instead of half-assing class design every 2 years like clockwork
maybe it would actually be appealing and rewarding and people would stfu about "fix energy"
they shouldve given us chomp
shut up bel
They should've given u guys chomp
let the ferals have chomp
no
do not give me that shit
my finisher has a buff attached to it
do something with that
expand on that
delete slice and dice
oops 100% uptime with zero thought involved and green leveling green
haha
my bad
nvm
ass should have a poison you drink,you deal 50% more dmg but you die after 40sec
def didnt copy priest surrender to madness
A real assassin wouldn't succumb to their own poisons silly
a real assassin would be good enough to assassinate themselves
Period of weakness at worst

Arcane mage has mana management, and I know at one point they had a spell that dunked on their mana bar, dealing more dmg depending on how much mana was spent
Maybe our energy management could have some similar mechanic, idk
Or a buff that ramps stacks while we hover about ×%, and triggers an effect scaling from stacks when we reach below ×%
Feels like there's plenty ideas to be had for resource management mechanics other than "just space out your casts"
like arcane is often pointed to as "the resource class"
and they just could not give a shit
I am not up with the times so with current design this tracks yeah
their 90s cd gives them a stupid amount of regen and they still have evocation
so what ends up happening is if their cds are coming up, they don't care
But if it existed at some point and I am pretty convinced it did, this may be something for inspiration
if their cds aren't up or they have 45s, they press evo
and otherwise they don't care

blizzard trying to make resources work and failing miserable
peanut butter and jelly type shit
Everyone knows this goes together but it's shit ?
I don't even think they're talenting into evocation on the missle build their playing atm
or orb
whatever flavor of not barrage
They could take the enery cost from Crimson vial and add something like: Crimson Vial regenerates 30% Energy in addition to the healthy regen. (Maybe there is a reason i am not a dev
)
yeah maybe
Envenom additionally costs ×% of current energy, dealing increased damage based on that + casting Rupture consumes envenom buff, dealing damage based on remaining time and restoring y% of missing energy
Like, i spitballed this in 1 min and this is demonstrably more involved management that we have
Maybe it's a shit idea but come on, they definitely can come up with something inventive if they actually tried

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to set an alert for when we run out of poison on our daggers, because I always forget to reapply it.
Thanks in advance.
Klicker's Poison Reminder is one
Ok Siri, set a reminder in 55 minutes to reapply poison!
Wangbar?
u got me
nice mate thanks
Yo guys, first time I play assa rogue. Why is mastery not a prio stat ? It seems to be rly strong ?
its not as strong as crit or haste thats all
Ok just this isnt a trash stat right ? we just prio Ilvl ?
Practically every spec in the game just prioritizes ilvl yes
Feels like assa better at lvling, didnt like outlaw
A bunch of people will tell you a bunch of different opinions on that subject
does deathmark poison bonuses only apply to poisons applied during the deathmark window? or if you have garrot/rupture on a target prior to deathmark does the damage modifier apply to those already applied?
It’s dynamic so it would apply to everything before/after
cool thanks
yeha but only 1 opinion matters
Quakes

!ui
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:
anyone know why implcable seems to be inconsitently tracked on the blizzard cdm? sometimes it shows sometimes it doesnt (eventhough it always appears on my normal buff bar in top right)
Hey guys, how is it going? it's been a while, i'm trying fire mage for this season 😄
@red schooner hey ! been a while haha
exactly xDDD
and i like having a BL and being a ranged dps, not having much mechanics in M+ lol
It breaks if you use envenom during the energy regen bit
Resets if you drop combat or let the buffs fall off
guys i figured out a build for assa that makes it feel good. Just have 1500 crit, 1500 haste and 2000 mastery and assa feels great
lmfao anyone else go to voidstorm and just start dying to things?
is there any reason not to craft the dagger atm ? maby some balnce changes on 17th ? and whats the max item lvl it can be ?
259
this is actually insane, gone from killing elites for fun to dying to a pack of 3 normal mobs
Just level as Sub
Void area just has fairly bad scaling
No, craft dagger, 259
are you saying we should craft it now or wait?
craft
?
guys if you want assa to feel great, spec sub it works
Thanks for the information, Mr Varas
yw if you want more, come to twitch.tv/crims
how many crests will it cost to upgrade it once s1 starts ? and should we prio that with our crests ?
MH dagger is always our top priority
I always say sim but it depends on what type of content you plan on pushing. I mean you could get really lucky in raid and get 2 daggers or some shit
Does anyone know if you still have the option of leveling up alchemy and doubling the flask time?
yes
you can still increase flask duration with alchemy
15 points in the flask tree
probably obvious, but i just came back to wow and we dont have garrote and rupture applying to other targets anymore like in TWW?
so you basically open, apply bleeds and spam crimson until the pack is all tagged with bleeds?
ty for quick answer ❤️
!bugs
Anyone have it were it says deathmark can’t be used in this zone
In every zone :/
is there a best simming race for rogue atm?
Maybe it’s my trinket or something
Undead sims like 2% higher than all the other races cause of heritage armor
Racials haven’t been impactful in many years just play what you think looks pretty
Deathstalkers mark or deathmark
No clue
It won’t let me cast it anywhere in the world but keeps saying ability can’t be used in this zone
But kingsbane etc works fine this just started
I was sub for a quest then switched back thought relogging would work but nope
Are you trying to use the trinket in a macro
From zul’aman
Like is it /use 13
And the trinket where the on use is going to the loa to change stats
Yes
That’s exactly the trinket I have
Oh no it’s the one that summons a loa and gives attack power
Is that the same one?
I’ll try a different trinket ty whispyr
Why do we take secondary poisoning over the fan of knives talent
Most of your poisons comes from auto attacks, which means you get a very noticeable amount of extra poisons
Like if you never procced any poison from other sources that talent is practically "50% more poisons"
Now you do proc from other sources, and the more targets the less that number is, but its still fairly high
so i saw the maximum video of all classes and heard from shindigg that assassin rotation feel so awkward atm (15 days ago) so is it still the case?
!addons
You look pretty
do we have any idea how much %dps increase is new tier set yet ? can't find the info on wowhead
How much Haste is recommended over all to not run out so fast on energy?
16000%
But that's not reasonable so we just live with running out of energy sometimes
I'm thinking about changing my rogues race from human (been lazy changing it after losing the rep buff rip). How we feel about orc (either since both buffs are prob about equal) vs troll?
trolls are fucking ugly
I think we're firmly in the "whichever makes tmogs look good" camp here
orcs at least have decent model
also maghar tends to end up being quite good later on in expansions if you care about that
Unless you need a racial for pvp or m+ I guess
nobody pvps

4/4
Well, closer to 3/3
thx boss
those are some crazy numbers
You shut your whore mouth right now
Rogue fits undead only
Zamda or stay small
Night Elf supremacy
the value in holding 160 vet crests is to craft bracers/boots/cloak with 2x embellishments so you can make your first heroic week easier/splits easier. It's a decent gain for no real cost
bis for assa is crafting a dagger with embell anyway
worst case scenario you get a myth weapon and the crafted moves to offhand
this is for vet (non-spark) crafts
so for rogues, just hold 80 like you said
craft dagger with sparks with embellishment, then 80 vet bracers for 2nd embellishment
do we still get a free hero crest
crests dont exist
Datamining shows no reward (but it always shows no reward until it goes live)
My yolo guess is it'll give 80 uncapped hero crests
since enchanted crests dont exist anymore
yeh
and they've leaned hard into uncapped crest rewards this expansion for some reason
if blizzard really hated whispyr they would lean into subterfuge again XD
s2 dragon flight was peak assa gameplay
bro I'm on a list at blizzard for sure with how much I bitch about deathstalker in every fucking post
they see a rogue editorial go up on wowhead and they're like
"ah, here we go again"
they call you the deathstalker whysperer
246

- filling slots u missed on m0 and also preferable stats

Spamming prey 
wowhead guide says berserker's rage on weapon enchant
i assume that's not offhand as well ?
does for anyone else sensei resource bar not show hp anymore?
it is gone since todays update for me
tell me about it, im 242+ on 4 chars 😄
i just pushed that achivment for discount crest on one of my rats and that i upgraded everything to 237min
is it ever worth to press crimson tempest on 5+ combo
If u dont have all bleeds out ye
its little bit better upgrading for 10 than 20 crest
Just a bit ya
i misslciked on that new echant in AH and bough them for over mil
what if ur completely capped on combo
now im tryint to sell them 😄
its worth wasting the combo points u could generate just to get bleeds out asap?
im done pray farming, now i gotta either wait for next week or do another alt
this contradicts what charrend said
I think personally and I’m vibing here and trying to predict the future. You’d wanna envenom because blizz will tune on the 17th to make it so overcapping combo points with ct will be bad
Either through buffing envenom or nerfing CT’s direct damage
So today you can ct if you need to spread bleeds and that may be correct depending on target count and some other things but in two weeks I have hope that will be incorrect
(Im hoping they buff envenom a bit for some ST and maybe like 5% to spatter too)
Bleeds doing a lot of damage is cool but spatter feels like it should do a bit more than it does currently with how poison centric the talent setup and apex is
might be a dickhead move but I'm literally just going to point you to the extra info in the guide for this
nah its ok ty for showing me
np
Anyone using elvui? Apparently works, does it have glowing spells
How much does assa profit from a monk tank in mythic+ ? I doubt all our dmg gets increased by the 5% physical debuff
bit under 2.5%
Do the things that don't benefit from mystic touch benefit from demon hunter instead?
yes
BRB need to find a demon hunter tank and a monk healer to weld my ass to
checks pins oh, what a surprise, the dagger is bait, right?
yeah
it's utter dogshit yes
for some reason in my server people are trying to sell it saying its "bis"
and i'm here like...DOUBT.
is there any way to properly track implacable? cooldown manager doesn't always seem to track it for some reason
why do the pre embellished daggers exist, when have they been good
I remember hunter having an op pre embelished item not super long ago
Sone point in DF
Dont think weps have been
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
its in the pins
its bugged rn, will get fixed in the future somewhere
I've seen this episode before.
@balmy condor question about implacable r1
should I stop using envenom whenever it implacable caps at 80 or should I should I just mash envenom whenever regardless of it
when 5 points obv
must be fun answering the same questions everyday lol
my apologies
so whats the workaround?
counting to 5 in your head or looking at your buffs
Count to 5
Move your entire buff bar to a spot you can look at it better 
i was thinking of that for a hot millisecond
At least you think
count to 3 and then count to 2
oh ur a genius
is there a fix for the Implacable buff tracker bug where after your first time getting implacable, it stops showing you how many stacks you have?
no
awesome
anyone else having issues with Sudden Demise leaving creatures at 1% the last couple days?
Nope
It has been a bit wonky this whole launch though, it wasn't triggering when I was leveling to 90
It's like my top damage dealer when questing but in dungeons it does barely anything. Not sure if that's a bug or if it's supposed to be like that. Sounds like there's a few bugs with the skill though.
is there a reason we take secondary poisoning over the fan of knives buff
just seems like fan would be better
fok doesn't do damage, poisons do, and you get extra energy from dashing
flying daggers has honestly just straight up never been good
copy roger thank u
@balmy condor it does more damage because the damage meter tracks it as a poison application right, the instant dmg it does is shit?
correct
are any of you topping the meters in m0s?
im getting smoked by my friend's BM hunter
ye
ye
im just having trouble maintaining energy over the course of a pull
In big aoe pulls energy isn't really that big of an issue
Gotta find yourself a tank friend who’s not afraid to pull big
this tbh
im pulling huge in m0s
literally nothing does damage rn
Don't we just spam CT on really big pulls? Or is it better to weave in Envenoms?
I think you generally just spam CT to spread, using envenom to dump
then switch to FoK when everything is dot'ed
Not really no
I've been Assaing wrong 🙁
