you only care about the buff when you're at max stacks, because you need to drop it
Ok just hitting envenom when I have the combos and energy. Thank you
anyone know how i can move tracked bars?
What you’re talking about would become relevant if they reduce our energy and force us to intentionally play for envenom chains under energy constraints, as it stands we don’t care, it genuinely feels like we’ve not pooled outside of df s3 for like 4 or 5 expacs now
Is it not possible in edit mode?
it is not
I’m almost certain you can move them as a whole, just not individual bars natively
they dont even show up in my edit mode, is there a specific option i have to have on
i figured it out, seems there was a weird interaction going on with cdm
I heard from a trusted source that ass will get a 300% aura buff and 200% more energy regen

You can just say my name
It was whispyr not u
Me and Whispyr are under the same NDA
whats a good delve to spam run to lvl to 8?
Atal’aman with the Ritual Disrupted scenario is great for rogue, you can skip 99% of the mobs and only need to fight at the end
Silvermoon one
can we do 8 now?
what build yall running for dungeons? the fatebound one?
I think 8 is on season start
I was running collegiate calamity invasive glow but I didn’t know about the rogue trick
shadowguard also comically easy to grind to 8
I think fatebound is " easier " to play than deathmark, but deathmark seems to deeal more dmg when u track buff. Those are close btw ( tell me if wrong )
Deathstalkers mark*, unfortunately the naming is insanely similar to Deathmark, our main cooldown
I also play deathmark
Since the removal of some plater functionality and whispyrs setup where deathmarked mob gets coloured in a pack
I find it incredibly hard to easily track who is deathmarked in a big pack
Which is fine if i don't target swap
but sometimes i find i need to
What’s the point of stealth if every caster in dungeons just pings me out while I’m generating no threat
am I understanding correctly we don't need to press envenom before DM>KB any more?
apex talents give full combo points is why I assume
Does anyone know why sometimes my FoK generates only 1 CP even tho it hits 5+ targets?
but didn't we want envenom active before pressing DM > KB before?
is that interaction gone?
also, how are people tracking cloak/feint/envenom durations? are you adding them to Whispyr's UI import?
Yea before we did want to do it. I couldnt tell you why exactly it changed
ok thanks for confirming
keen to hear what people are doing for this
whats the sim DPS looking for assa atm?
also does the Whispyr CDM track imp garotte? not when it can be applied, but that the garotte on your target is empowered
Implacable strikes ramps u to 6-7 cp anyway, IG last second makes u 7, then envenom is just faster more efficient ramp
Its not like u have to build 3 times then envenom anymore
true and real 🤪
@balmy condor is it intended in your m+ guide to run poisoners drive over inspiring strike? Seems like losing 5% damage for 1 cp in aoe is bad no?
Also whats the diff between inspiring and poisoners drive st simwise
i mean, you still have many moments with lower target counts and bossfights
Yeah but drive would have to be a pretty monumental gain to make up the difference imo
Maybe key dependant...
Nexus and windrunner are pretty low target outside of a couple spots
But pit and magisters is like 90 healthbars on my screen
does this talent increase dmg to every target while DM is up or just the target that has DM
Just all damage in general
should i be always playing for 80 stacks of implacable? i find sometimes im capping energy
feels like sometimes less stacks is fine
From the Wowhead guide
thanks, missed that
the gap between deathstalker and fatebound is big? in aoe and in st? cause man fatebound feels so much better
ds has significantly more prio damage
Fatebound more overall
oh fatebound is better in overall ok nice i'll keep that for the moment
i can see where ur going with that 😒
Go back to your hunter hole lil gup
Grrrr
I can’t use the excuse I’m playing rogue for heroic as I’ve now rerolled off that too
No longer an outlaw and instead a shadow priest
that's tough
Nah I chose to
We needed more ranged and not 3 outlaws
I didn’t have to change but SP is fun
what kind of cursed ass guild has 3 outlaws
A cool guild
3 outlaws
I don't see it in the pins - anybody else having trouble with deathstalkers mark bugging and not applying at all anymore?
Ended up switching to fatebound because of it.
I'm not sure but I do know that we hate deathstalker
Lmao it does jingle perma
Someone said it got hot fixed out xd
Not home to see tho

yeah its not news, thats just how it the hero talent is
Plenty of opportunities where it bugs out and you cant apply it
IMO it would be better if the hero talent worked
Is the general concensus that sub>assa in AOE ? I can't hit anywhere near the numbers as assa than I can with sub right now
For sure, but thats unfortunately not the case right now
does Whispyr's UI package show somewhere the duration of Feint/Cloak/Evasion buff?
and does it show when the Garotte on an enemy is empowered?
ping him
I try to avoid pinging him it must get annoying
but I might if I haven't found the answer when he's next green
what is the B?
better
@balmy condor
He loves being pinged, I got you
^
:3
If you dm him photos of anything + peach monster he also loves it
He’s a lover for sure
My favourite monster is the mango loco one
My favorite monster is the next one
consider it a blessing to us all
I mean, can’t you do it in the new funny bot mode or whatever?
if you arent geared in pvp gear, the bots are terrifying lol
So we don’t have anything new this week? Just waiting for m+ for next week?
doesnt matter
touching any pvp at all
The spark is also from a war mode pvp quest 
“Will be pleased to learn”
No the fuck I won’t
Its not even that bad
Just collect crates, or treasures, do the non PvP WQs and youll get it done in no time
likely with no PvP at all
Even more so if youre Alliance
can you cheese it by colluding with opposite faction guildies?
anyone tried ayije cdm?
blizzard really has some of the dumbest fucks in the world making calls

the fastest way to do the quest is to ignore pvp entirely anyway
10 sparks from world quests, 5 from treasures, only 1 from any pvp kill
for some reason, garrote does not have a timer like rupture?
probably a complaint to make to the atrocityui discord
I mean PvP in general is a great example of this.
People say M+ and raiding is bad to get into, and it is, but good god trying to PvP for the first time. 😂
so you can get the spark with 0 pvp?
real?
yeah
just fly around and farm treasures
i mean, the only people that care less about PvP then 99,99999% of the playerbase is blizzard themself
im suprised that they remove pet battles but left PvP in the game, when pet battles had more though put into them

is there a weekly limit to sparks? what is this quest?
Yeah but like. The reason no one cares about PvP is because it's the just cancer new player experience ever. You get dropped in with no skill against better players - but then like - they also just have better gear than you too.
You're basically guaranteed to lose for like a month or more.
"Why does no one really like PvP?!" Like gee, I wonder why.
its very serious PvP
where you need to lose for hours to get the gear so you can even properly play it in the first place
very serious man
Lol exactly.
and when we had a solution for it
the "pvp players" complained about it until it was removed because they could not roflstomp random bgs

i fucking hate the wow pvp playerbase because its insane how they manage to cry so loud about any changes that would improve the mode because it means that they cant roflstomp people with gear adventages anymore
and blizz listens to them
I mean that solution was kind of scuffed. Kind of bs not being able to choose your stats. But even still - make it an option so the stat applications on your gear can carry over to the PvP stats but scaled... Don't get rid of the consistent PvP scaling completely.
give people the option to bettwen a couple stat templates instead of just one
thats it
make it like GW2 and put the templates on a Neck
problem solved
Or that. Lol.
and if somebody tries to tell me "omg but i need 28% haste, you cant play frostmage in arena becase the haste template only gives you 25% haste" i will push them into a locker
But try to tell PvP players that the new player PvP experience is absolutely atrocious and they'll just get mad.
Be easy to push em into a locker because they don't have 28% haste, tbh. 😂
Well, was Legion active on PvP?
We get one spark per week
with catchup in place if you miss some
1st week we got a bonus one
thank fucking god


Yes one per week and two per craft (4 for 2 handers)
oh shit there's a dundun emote now ?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version

is PvP active right now? 
or is it the same handfull of people that it always is
I mean isn't this what the training ground is literally for?
Granted they just nerfed the honor by 50% lmao
To a degree. But like if you want to PvP, still sucks to have to not PvP in order to PvP.
Yeah I mean true, but I will say they greatly improved the entry point from TWW
That's fair I suppose.
I still think it's fundamentally kinda bad. But ah well.
I mean the toxic part ain't going anywhere for sure lol
But like gearing and addon requirements are def better
Any PvP game will just be toxic anyways, no matter how many emotes you remove. Just comes with the territory
Assa tier set cool
i started to get back into pvp again for the first time since SL and it's made me such a toxic person
even in keys i never really got mad at people or flamed them in party chat because why bother
but we started to lose against bots in training grounds and i couldn't resist
something about pvp brings the worst out in people
my mood and general outlook are much more positive since i embraced pve games
Im just slaying spires, living life
👀
on god dude
we've been playing so much
🥂
Ye for sure. Except when my friend got snecko eye as defect and everytime he drew more than like 5 cards with all for one the game crashed 
we got one of our friends in who didnt play the first game and he took snecko eye midway through act 2
what a tragedy

i had a near infinite defect build where i just used the mp card to give an ally 4 mana
good times
homie had top too

Which is simming higher in pve content (m+ and raid) between assa and sub?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
how good does assassination's apex feel in mythic?
That doc doesnt have anything for m+ for all the specs
Enjoying sub actually
sub will most likely be the big dick meter monster, outlaw slightly behind that
and then most high end players will play assassination
high end players will play ass but the other two are higher on the meters? does ass have better prio?
one of the highest in the game
actually whispyr is just gonna gaslight high end players into playing assa
to draw more attention to the spec
and therefore to his youtube channel
fucking content creators
To me sin feels better as keys scale higher and big packs live longer. I’ve been doing all of EA on sub though
Im enjoying assa too much i dont even know why
Are they going to do something about the energy stuff?
depends what you mean by "do something"
stupid high prio, yes
sub is powder spamming, it's full pad
I made that gif in like 2022 how is it still alive
Im new to the class in general, felt like it has an insane downtime even when if you play it perfectly (not me) so i wonder if its something that needs to be looked at
the might tune it up slightly via the apex talent
but in general that is how the spec is designed and intended
so I wouldn't hold my breath
if so, isn't it doomed to be the worst spec of the 3 in long term?
both assi and sub (and outlaw if not in AR maybe) all have downtime in the rotation
this is normal and expected
sometimes you just chill and ponder life
why would downtime mean it's doomed?
if anything, in the long term that would mean it's doomed to be the best
because assa cooldowns aren't as explosive as the other 2 idk
Dps and spec pacing aren't related
sorry what
would be great tbh, im enjoying it so much
Since I crafted dag and only have shoulder, glove, ring for 2nd embellish, I should put it on ring, right?
Fwiw assa cooldowns are more explosive than subs during execute
sure, if you're feeling like crafted a third item later and replacing the ring
well if it is better then its good news for me
what happens at 250 seconds?
crazy style
constant explosion maybe xD
100x2 = 20x10
preperation comes back up
ahahahaha true
more relevant than ever
I won't be able to make 2nd piece until Wed, so wanting to craft a vet piece with 2nd embellish for Tue
time is a circle or something
I mean yeah, you'd craft wrists though
if you're going to craft a ring, you might get like 0.3% more out of it, and then instantly replace it with your third craft and an m+ ring

crafting anything other than wrists just doesn't make much sense to me
but you do you idk
Fair point. Was kinda focused in on "ring is lowest non tier slot" lmao
yah at this point that's kinda moot
you're probably replacing every piece of gear you have equipped right now within 1-3 days
after next weeks reset
do you guys have any recommendation for the spell que window? 400 feels like shit
feels like shit how
im pressing the same button twice because im spamming it
spell queue window shouldn't really make a difference unless you're playing outlaw and having to react to procs hella
@balmy condor yo are praying for ass buffs on the 17th or are you happy?
set it down to like 250 and see if it's better idk
alright thanks
buffs would be nice but idk what the tuning goal is because of how messy it is right now
i was just wondering if you guys are playing it at some set number or even at 0
so like, idk, maybe everything needs nerfs
0 would be insanely troll, that's just losing dps for fun
Powder surely wasn't 40% of my damage
I would never go under like 150
good to know tyvm
np, you know what it actually does right
i kinda don't tbh but i haven't had any issue before the midnight pre patch, then suddenly it started to feel like shit across all the classes so im just trying to figure it out
the spell queue window is a buffer, in milliseconds, where it'll queue up a button you press
so like lets say it's 250, if you press a button in that last quarter second before the next gcd, it'll automatically queue it up and send it as soon as it can
Wait yall playing with q on ? Is that a thing now
usually you'll see some weird people who don't get it saying to like lower it to your ping, which makes no sense
but the reason 0 is awful
It's on by default
is because you literally eliminate the window
so even if you're full slamming your keys
wtf really
you're going to have delays between the gcd coming up, and you hitting the button to cast
And it's been in the game since cata
400 by default for about 15 years yes
Damn
Where have I been
I’m playing on 250 ping bc I’m in Asia what should I set mine as
Scroll up
So 250

are you double casting abilities you don't want to double cast

For example i've suddenly started to do 3 blackout kicks back to back on windwalker since midnight pre patch, because naturally im spamming the buttons this is literally never happened before so im quite lost xD
exactly this
spellqueue is like, if you're double casting for some reason, lower it by 50-100 and see if its better
No and I’m also not Qing abilities either if I press 1 for mut and then 2 for garrote nothing happens I have to wait for gcd then press 2 other wise nothing
don't go under 150-200
Then gradually lower it until you dont feel that way
well then if anything your spellqueue should be higher
but if you're not double casting
then don't fucking touch it lmao
Ima have to play around and find out what’s going on with it
I hate it here
i love you too
is he joking or should i stop? xD
it's not you
but this is like the third time I say "don't do this" and hobo has gone "man I should do something with this"
and I'm just
so fucking tired
for assa im double casting envenom with poisoner's drive and sometimes like casting 4 crimson tempest until my energy is exhausted. I have constant 50-55 ping and i think its on 300 now i will definitely lower it and try it like that
thanks a lot, huge info
np
You did just tell me to possibly raise it so ofc my response is ima need to check it
I mean maybe
but realisitically if you didn't know that it existed until now
it should be 400
and so your issue is most likely between the keyboard and the chair
it's possible with your insane ping that you would need to raise it, but it's very unlikely
I’ve been playing since bfa and I’ve never even heard it mentioned didn’t even know it existed and I’ve got decent parses for 250 ping
well yes
it's not a dps gain or loss unless you go extreme with it and set it to like 30 or 900 or something
it's literally just the responsiveness of your buttons
so idk why you're mentioning your parses
makes me think you don't really get it, and if you don't really get it, you probably shouldn't be messing with it
How would you ever learn if you don’t touch it
....by understanding what it does?
do whatever you want man idk
you have my recommendation
I'm sure you can figure it out from there
last question, do we ever use ambush for anything in m+?
no
and if we would, it would be from blindside
which doesn't require a button as it replaces mutilate
wait i dont need ambush on sep bind anymore?
dunno
me neither
wake up old man

is sin rogue still weak ST with the M+ build?

"still weak" compared to what
last season?
or compared to like
top ST spec in m+
just compared to the other classes, where are we sitting ST middle of the pack ?
yeh our st is fine but it's nothing crazy
could probably use a buff
but we're below average in raid as well
so if they buff us for raid or even just nerf the overperformers
it probably inevitably makes the m+ st good too
I hope both buff sin nuff op
Do we have sims yet for the different rogue specs?
im finding sub and assassin arnt that far apart in terms of DPS aoe wise
at least in my opinion but im not a pro at this
@spice surge 
slay the spire so goated
are there currently any addon workarounds for properly tracking implacable? or are we just praying blizz fixes the cdm
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
praying
Do we have any faith in blizzard
Because I like making bad decisions
based
ye
what is bro saying
Nah keep it rolling
Wrong spec
🍻
We don't do enough damage to even think about transferring threat
(for legal reasons it is a joke and I've no idea)
Its a choice node with blackjack so maybe you havent talented it
turns out im just incredibly stupid
thank u

assa players dont deserve tricks
only 30k behind uh dk
wait thats decent
give us deathmark cdr
I just hope they dont just buff deathstalker so its alot stronger then fatebound... and go "see we do have cool and balanced rogue hero talents..."
is it just me or this trinket is insanely overstatted
ok nevermind i misread it i thought it was 14 stacks

Can I have a treat instead
Where can I find the sims for all specs compared?
Guess I shouldn't care before 17th tho
!bugs
implacable
After mainhand weps, what is best to upgrade? chest/shoulders or trinks?
even after the 17th, comparing sims between classes and specs is usually pretty useless
Usually weapons trinkets rings and necks tend to be good upgrade targets but sim yourself
Why? It's a good indicator for boss dmg at least
If you looked at the sheet from manaforge and then saw what was actually played
You would be in for a surprise
cause raid fights (unless its fractilus) arent 5 min patchwerk target dummies
A sheet based off numbers might be even worse for m+
yeah was gonna say 
We know whats somewhat good from beta for m+ but theres still 2 tuning patches before that
So youre pretty much just guessing
When I sim ST in a m+ build that's usually close to the dmg I'm actually doing on a boss in a m+ dungeon
And if it's not then I know I'm probably missplaying somehow
do you sim it without buffs/no lust etc?
Only lust
cause I can imagine simming full buffs everything 5min patchwerk and then going into m+ having a 2 min boss where you come in without cds would be pretty different 😄
Since lust is used for a lot of the boss fights anyway
Sometimes I sim without lust as well. But in the past it barely mattered for rogue
Is it possible to sim like in topgear, this item at 250 is better than this item? but not have both equipped simultaneously? Like how the GreatVault sim works?
you can add items to a top gear sim near the top of the UI where you can select your gear. You should be able to add whichever item at whichever ilvl. I suppose you could run a sim with one equipped and one without, or have them both in the same slot and highlight both of them only in that slot, so it Sims them against each other
Is there any point in tracking the coin outcome as FB? I'm guessing no but wanted some confirmation
nope never was
the dopamine from 42 heads in a row says otherwise
Should we create the dagger already?
we looking to make a darkmoon deck next week to go with the dagger?
yes
its huge upgrade and you can just recraft
I did dagger since I’m not switching spec too
I’m just holding to see if we get an embellishment tuning as well
I would get to change that when I recraft with higher crests, right
yeah but lets say row walkers becomes best, then you wont be able to create the two piece because you used sparks on dag
I mean if you just get some vet daggers for now you're cruising
hard mode hunts good for that
I will have to world tour till I get them all, my preys were super unlucky 
What stasts should I use?
Probably CRIT haste
at current levels haste has higher prio than crit, but thatll prob change as we near higher tier gears
sin being weaker on lower keys due to mobs dieing faster, gonna get better overall gains in ST, im demolishing charts on ST currently.
but even aoe packs on good pulls with clean setup can hit 150k with CD
What has changed?
I'll test it more later, but last night I realized that gar out of NElf meld gives +2 combo points from SS, but not the CD reset. Idk if the damage bonus is there or not though. Just wanted to post it here cause I didn't remember seeing it documented anywhere.
If it doesnt give improved garrote it doesnt get the damage
Its just +2cp from SS
SS isnt +20% dmg from stealth, its always active
Eleem do you overwrite garrote when improved garrote has reached pandemic or you just wait until expires
Assuming there's no damage bonus, this is going to be the most random tech for getting to DN from 4cp
You generally want the improved garrotes to expire yes
ty
am i just bad or is assa misserable in dungeon?
m0 is not a good representation of how a spec will play in dungeons, stuff tends to die quite fast
and assassination suffers a bit from that
i just constantly feel like i never have energy to play the game T_T
but no way to accurately answer your question because for all we know, you may have done them without having poisons applied or something
that's expected
assassination doesn't have energy to spam buttons the entire time, that's how the spec is supposed to work
i mean i mained assa for the last 3 seasons so i imagine im not a total potato
energy regen from bleeds is much lower compared to previous seasons
so if you're used to having infinite energy in aoe, that's no longer true
ye
feels so bad now with how you play around crimson cause if you dont spam it you dont get a good prolif going and idk, i feel like what i heard about assa is more true now than last expansion
How is Assa in ST nowadays? Is a good spec for switching targets now?
In raids, is it better to play sub or outlaw?
yeah meld applies the extra combo points from Shrouded Suffocation and DR/Silence from Iron Wire but not the extra damage and CD reset of Improved Garrote
It feels awful unless there's like 10 targets

well, its m0, stuff just dies way to fast for dot stuff to do dmg, and most of assa aoe dmg rn is dots
Our energy regen rate is absolutely killer so far. Even just spreading your bleeds uses up all your energy and then you just..... stand there
the problem is worrying about it so much. its ok to have a few seconds of not pushing a button. your bleeds are still doing damage.
if your damage is fine, its ok that you have some downtime on actions
I mean that's boring though
then play another spec or class. but you know sometimes things require a few seconds of not doing dmg
man, look at the apex talent, its literally the intend lol
you are doing damage still, its just not requiring a button push
you can continue to spam even w/o energy if you need the button pressing
like idk man
its a spec where the apex talent literally says "when your envenom buff drops, AKA when you cant use abilitys anymore or chose not to do it, something happens"
Just because it's intended doesn't mean it's enjoyable
and just because you dont think its enjoyable doesnt mean its bad
true
I've been playing sin since wotlk though and I gotta say this is the most boring it has felt in a long time
but its literally the same apm as it was in tww
and tww assa was one of its fastest versions ever
reprio your focus to doing as much dmg you can and top dps charts
and providing utility to the group
oh trust me i am the kick lord in these 0's
maybe it'll feel better in season, who knows
buddy can they buff energy in aoe?
the energy isnt gonna change unless they change balance, but if they do go back to inf energy, dmg will be nerfed to accomodate it
I do love the updated Kingsbane though, it's like our own lil mini killing spree except it doesn't suck
lol
YOU DIDNT KISS ME LAST NIGHT OK
you responded to tryan
THATS THE PUNISHMENT VARAS
SORRY BABE. IF IT UPSET YOU, PLEASE TELL ME
COMMUNICATION IS KEY
em
what i meant is, meow
Honestly the energy will only get better because as your crit gets higher, you need less FOK and CT to be able to chain envenoms
Same in ST with mutilate
he's talking about the increased CP from crits
yeah the main starvation comes from the burst CT
i think
yeah, and DS will also help energy a lil bit with crit too
dashing scoundrel i mean, i realized DS could be misinterpreted as death stalker lol
ct spam until eveything bleeds?
yes
and then spend?
ignore dumping CP until all is spread
I mean sure but that’s why tea exists lol
and hold DM/KB until all bleeding too
except tea is auto used and you cant hold it
so you have 0 uses all the time
buddy
ermm back to sub
no cdr shenanigans on sub makes it so good
i love sub getting turned into a spec that is more braindead then ret paladin 
but of course on m0 when stuffs dieing fast your not gonna prob get the full impact of DM though
sure but that can be changed
It’s really not as bad as you’re dooming it out to be, like the downtime is never more than like 1.5s lol
1.5s gcds sounds bad
assa st is ass tho
but im not sure...
im topping all DPS charts on ST atm by significant margins.
Yeah sin single target is very good lol
like 2nd place is 66% of me
Like I’ve been popping
isnt that just a normal number issue
and like, numbers are a meme anyway rn lol, guardian druid does more dmg then 80% of dps specs rn 
changing the philosophy on shadow dance and sec tech cdr made it a much better spec with much more liberty
5/10 ragebait
its also a talent tree issue(or was before)
I have to compete with bear in dmg charts
You also have to consider that right now most tanks in m0 (in my experience) are capping pulls at like 7 mobs max
In giga pulls our spec owns lol
surprisingly ive done 0 baiting so far
and only spoke the truth
ah the joys of having a full premade group with experienced tank lol.
It’s more doomer than bait
almost everyone does 
Pug life is for me man
I would play with guildies but been joining leather stacks
thats cringe
leather stacks do almost nothing week 1
grow up
play with your guild
well i guess we was pugging healers last night as our primary healer decided to do lock first and hes crying about that now lol, and man we had a series of toxic healers last night
idk what to tell you
Can you bait better it’s getting worse
Okay that’s better
Kinda absurd to be so condescending about what a stranger is doing lol
minmaxing m0 loot when the loot is irrelevant and when the minmax is instantly worth nothing in 2 weeks
crazy to read
Once again, just condescending for no reason towards how other people play the game which has 0 effect on you lol
will you do your 1.6k pvp rating when pvp opens on hc week?
varas is trolling
to get your catalyst
He’s gotta be a ret paladin main that heard sub is easy now
He's just a silly guy that meows
They seem more invested than the person min maxing 
i mean
and just jumps in and trolls a bit now
Game is game nothing matters at any given point
and im just being straight forward
i mean yeha, m0 minmaxing is kinda dumb
but also, who gives a fuck what somebody else does
I mean if you want to extrapolate your logic, the entire season means nothing because the next one is just going to come out
So why even play
dont look at it as min maxing m0, its getting ready for key pushing lol
I want all vet gear because the margin of error is me, I am the margin of error
what on earth has blizzard done to their game? minimap just keeps breaking
nohing matters, heat death of the universe arrives at some point, our legacy will be forgotten
Type of logic bro is trying to use, probably why he quit playing
this is my first expac release played (i hadnt played for 15+ years....), will mythics still be raid locked on season start or is that only for pre season
you mean mythic raid?
Come break me down, bury me, bury me…
iirc m0 will be daily lockout
which is weird when m+ exists
but i dont understand many things blizz does
Yes when the season starts. And it’ll be champ 1/6
its weekly atm, is what im asking about
so itll go to daily lockout on season start?
if youre a rogue main and dont have a hunter to play cause rogue will be unplayable, youre trolling
I thought it did that in tww as well
i wasnt here for previous expacs, i only played end of tww where nothing was locked and you could grind it as much as you wanted
assa kinda ass in general ngl
they changed it twice last xpac I dont even remember which id the current iteration
I’m an amnesiac at best, I recall it being both ways for some reason
m+ has no lockout at all
but m0 are basically irrelevant as soon as m+ opens
which again, makes them giving m0 any lockout at all kinda weird
but blizz gonna blizz i gues
Other than collectablr farming
ah ok so that lockout is unique to m0 and wont be a thing at m+?
Yes
ye
and we can grind for gear as hard as we can during the week
m+ won’t have lockouts since key levels change and so will gear
how long does the crest caps usually last?
halfway into the season?
At least based on tww
and does anyone know how the crestless upgrades work for trinkets. my buddies was able to upgrade their 2nd trinket for free once upgrading first, but mine was trying to charge me crests still.
Sounds like they maxed out two trinkets
for "dual slots" like trinkets/rings/both weapons on dualwielders, you need both slots upgraded for the discount
example with made up numbers
you have a 295 and a 300 trinket, that means you have the discount up to 295
ah, i thought youd only have to do one slot then it marks the trinket slot as maxed and you can do the 2nd one. thats what it sounded like they thought the expeirence was, but maybe they didnt realize they upgraded both
You should still be able to do the work around of swapping which slot it's in, no?
no
trade it
Hey guys, sorry if this is answered somewhere and I'm not seeing it. For enchants on weapons, the guides say to use Berserker's rage but the guides also say to sim my character and the sim is saying that Acuity gives the most DPS. So, which do I use?
you use acuity
i should read the guide
Really said "Uhm, acuity"
"Mist" has arrived! Hello my fellow shadow stalkers/Rowrats!
That trinket list is incomplete, always just Sim
That trinket looks really nice hope you kept it
traded it away
Sucks hope you got something good in return lol, or has really good trinkets already
You will be blessed by a divinely abundant boon
social justice forced me to trade it away
it's not on the trinket list because you won't be able to get it during the season since it's from murder row
the prey one is similar but sims better
im doing something wrong, my aoe dps sucks big time in mythics 
M0 weekly rn, will go daily on season start. M+ starts week after season starts, which makes 0 irrelevant as others have said
Season starts next reset
it's not a seasonal trinket, so no list is including it
non-seasonal drops get replaced basically instantly
is there any related update on impecable buff this reset?
not unless you have secret contacts at blizzard that told you about it
it's wednesday
unfortunately not :(
Based on the wowhead guide, we are supposed to spam Crimson Tempest to spread bleeds after Kingsbane even though we will be at full combo points from Kingsbane/our apex talents. Is that correct?
for the aoe opener
I'm not a cutting edge rogue by any means, but me and my guild usually finish the raid on heroic difficulty in time for the Ahead of the Curve achievement (just for a frame of reference on difficulty)
I've read the dagger to have made is the regular one and then embellished with the stat buff. I think the Fish Hook one sounds really cool though and I wanted to try that out.
I know it will be a damage loss (otherwise the fish hook would be the one suggested in the guide!), but is it a really low difference? If it's 1% or less overall DPS I can live with that. I'm not sure how to sim it before I get the gear to test it, so asking advice here from the guys who know. Thanks.
in very large target count pulls yes but otherwise i believe you should be finishing with envenom at 5+ while you spread bleeds
Fishhook is really bad
okay thanks
dont take this the wrong way, but you could equip anything for aotc
if you want to craft it, its your account
nobody can stop you
problem with fish hook is that it's a single target effect that's like -0.3% in single target
compared to effects that give raw stats
which would obviously give aoe damage as well
Still mad it doesn't have a murlocs and fish damage bonus for meme flavor
But yeah you can use whatever for AOTC gaming
Or like +1 fishing skill
1% dps won’t make or break you
OK, thanks for the feedback. I know its just a game and I can do anything for fun, but I don't want to intentionally hamper my DPS too much, that feels rude to the rest of my team.
I wish they at least made the fishook better for single target dps, at least then I'd have SOME reason to get it. Bummer, but really appreciate the quick feedback. Thanks!
also just for the record
cause a lot of people go "fish hook so cool"
the bleed doesn't have any interactions with assassination
item effects never do
it's just a flat added damage thing that's standalone
unless they do, like the bunkjunker trinket that got amped by LD
what do you want me to say
batman couldn't beat that outta me
On another note, wow do I love the new crimson tempest design. Doing dungeons has been a blast for me, the tab targeting has been reduced immensely. I don't know about the overall Sin power level, but the fun factor has gone way up for me. Love it!
that you are proud?
But could he peg it 
wild moon sub appears
Hell yeah based as fuck
Low key had fun doing that
sudden demise is better for this week mythics, everything dies so fast
Sub burst goes crazy but it’s a ton of pad
40% black powder 
I burst over 200k at times
I kinda wanna try it because why not but I just don’t because why should I
Bored with our nothing burger week
Two weeks of m0 is super fun and all
play sub ❤️
play other games
mfw a frontloaded burst spec does frontloaded burst dmg in conten where stuff dies in 3 seconds

POG
Heresy
Teammates doin AA? 🥶
That’s why it’s fun for the moment
I dont know what im doing wrong but I'm most of the dungeon out of energy and I do shit dps...
being out of energy is normal
!design
you dont have infinite energy in aoe anymore
MOROES
what Im supposed to do when out of energy?Xd
I played assa in dragonflight and it didnt happen
Energy gain for sin across the board was cut pretty heavily from talent effects
i feel like it was yerterday....
Venomous wounds giga nerfed
also it very much did happen in dragonflight
idk, Im always close to tank at dps
preseason tuning is very fucked right now
tanks are doing more than most dps specs
so right now at least, saying you're close to tanks in dps is actually pretty good
Prot paladin and blood doing more dps in dungeons than half the roster
probably above average 
if you are doing dmg that is close to a guardian druid, you would be in nerf worthy range
hm... meanwhile my unholy&demonology premades are at the sky

OH WOW
2 OF THE OVERTUNED SPECS
only the two strongest specs in the game? what a surprise
Congrats you found the 2 dps doing better than tanks rn

I mean, you are
This is likely the worst preseason tuning the game has ever seen
it is... frustrating
its not even season yet, and balance is a total shitshow
you're not playing the very obviously overtuned specs
I only play DoTers...
Waiting to see some silly aura buffs/nerfs on the 17th
i did z-dam last week and then i crafted a dagger and i topped details in my m0's yesterday
its all made up
cant wait for the "all dmg reduced by 15%" and "all dmg increased by 9%" patchnotes
and i like how they "reset" aura buffs every expansion, then do nothing really and just add aura buffs again 
it's either going to be a massacre that could've been seen coming from a mile away, or blizzard has been asleep at the wheel for the last 3 weeks and the tuning is going to be a disaster that will need another 6 passes to get to reasonable levels
I'm not even playing I'm just watching from afar. My guild are still doing splits 
its gonna be a mix of both
What should i craft first?
dagger
What stas
Stat

Ty all
best stats are all stats
yeah after looking at the raid bosses and how often you need to swap off and burst down adds there is no way assa is played over sub even if it was equally tuned 
raid is built for sub, sectech is all you need to destroy a target swap
money save early in season

me when i save 1000g on a missive and still spend 25000g on an enchant week 1
shut up
uwu
mate, 2 things
first, assa literally needs a single gcd to target swap now lol
and second, you mean like always, where people make a big drama out of adds and after week 3 they dont matter anymore because they explode from passive cleave dmg?
for assas, are we doign finishers at 5 or more cp? or only 6/7?
5+
gracias
!implacable
send it till 80 then let it drop my goat
implacable seems annoying to track with default blizz stuff
it gets confused with overlaps
Probably because it breaks

We wait patiently for a fix
Assa s tier yet?
s tier bench
Stier bench warmer is a new one lmfao!!
I mean why are we pretending
guardian druid doesnt make 75% of the dps specs irrelevant rn
Was just funny haha
ik its just tierlisting rn is so dumb since
by that logic almost no dps spec is worth with bear tuning
Yeah for sure. Everything is up in the air now more so than any recent pre-patch.
truth nuke coming on 17th
mad bc dogshit dmg
wait for 17th tuning
still mad bc still dogshit, but at least barely over tank(hopefully, its rogue after all)
do we craft dagger with embelish or the other ?
my g
Psst Whispyr…
!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:
yes dear
Do we have an addon that lets us have colored nameplates with certain dots/dot combinations? or did blizz kill that
kill
Check the dm
So we dont have even plater scripts, that change colors of target with certain debuffs ?
I was using one on some classes, but now it changes colors only when im out of combat
correct
you can change color of stuff based on how blizzard determines mobs
there's like a caster/mini boss tag
that you can use
but that's on blizzards end, you have no control over that
and coloring based on debuffs is hard no
How is the spec looking at 90? Middle of the pack or garbage?
well right now kinda everything is looking like garbage compared to tanks
So kinda gotta pray that there is a biblical flood of tuning on the 17th after the last couple weeks of nothing

two paragraphs buffing fire mage and a blade flurry nerf
Are uhdk just broken chads atm? A fotm roller friend glazing on me on how he almost beat me on some bosses despite me having 5 ilvls higher
one really annoying thing is the void terrors in magisters terrace not being marked at all
and they look the same as all the other mobs
and every single mob in there is void something
fuck blizzard
Well you see
The best part about this nameplate shit
Is that if something changes, you probably need to update the addon
If we need to leave boss to avoid aoe mechanics, do we poison knife (is it poison throw?) until shadow step back in?
i really appreciate blizzard for nuking all the utility of weakauras just for my ui to look literally identical just lacking some recoloring options in various places
I mean isn’t that what people wanted at the end of the day
“Don’t touch my UI I want my UI to look the same, but you can kill boss weakauras”
the exact same goals could have been achieved by updating the terms of service to ban certain kinds of computation
How do you ban for that
The API is just there, the addons can just read the combatlog
All the computation is done locally
Like yes, sure
But how are you testing people for that
Throw some riot vanguard anti-cheat into World of Warcraft?
make them pinky promise
That would’ve been an even bigger shitshow
Cause if you’re not going to change the API to block the computation, and you’re not going to do some kernel anti-cheat
You literally can’t know
yea i dont have the answer but maybe if they spent more time on the transition instead of just hard breaking everything and then walking it back over a short beta they could have figured out a solution that didn't mean every non-combat weakaura that players used had to be broken out into separate addons to be installed
well a lot of them didnt
its just weakauras decided not to update and instead of forking it people just made their own addons
although now there is a fork i think
in other words, a solution that didn't cause the unpaid maintainers of one of the most widely relied on addons to give up instead of attempt to work with it
there wouldnt be a solution like that
blizzards goal was to strip a ton of that functionality
and the wa devs didnt want to do that
which is 100% perfectly valid
now obviously blizzard didnt handle the situation well, we shouldve had the restrictions put into place slowly over midnight instead of dropped in all at once
with not enough time for them to develop their own solutions
Any of you playing assa in mythic raid this tier or are you gonna wait to see if it’s buffed on the 17th
im gonna play it in mythic raid, but my guild usually doesnt jump into mythic right away and we'll get buffs if we're really that bad
What’s everyone’s choice for CDM nowadays?
I use better cooldown manager to center the icons because it drives me insane if they’re not centered
I’ve used that one. I think I need to look more into it. I have tried cdm centered? As well.
I was using both until the latter added more features and conflicted with bcdm
I really dont do anything special with my cdm beyond a reskin of the icons and centering them tho
Ignore the green 2, i made a shitty WA at one point to track envenom casts before blizz half-fixed implacable tracking
For food, Royal Roast vs Champ's bento? I would assume 50 main > 65 secondary, but wanted to check with the pros
Doesn’t matter they’re within like 0.2
Primary is technically better but if it’s like double the price then don’t bother
I think the secondary is actually going to be more, because it takes the fish stuff. Which is weird.
there are versions of both that just use the plant protein
flora frenzy for secondary
i think its cheaper than the bento, but the royal roast is cheaper than the plant version of itself
does pooling feel rewarding to you guys the dps just seems meh
Dps numbers don’t feel great but it could be cause stuff dying too quick
and is it really the play to just SPAM ct even at full cp
