#

i wonder if thats why my deathstalkers mark seems buggy too

wraith knot
#

And changing my graphic settings helped A LOT too, I was seeing everything everyone in the whole raid was doing. Nearly crashed on a world boss. lmao.

warped moon
#

i went fatebound tonight and number is more but i also hate it 😔

wraith knot
#

Deathstalker is hell

warped moon
#

yes

wraith knot
#

Especially if you're not experienced man

#

I was so lost with it

warped moon
#

just annoying to keep track of the marked mob even with focus

#

and then sometimes finishers dont eat a stack grr

chilly marsh
#

its a graph thing then?

warped moon
#

maybe! its worth a try

wraith knot
coral ibex
#

you dont need to change your input window to make anything about rogue work

chilly marsh
#

neeed to test some dummys see fi does dmg without the garrote being apllyied

coral ibex
#

you'd need to have like 300+ ping for it to matter

wraith knot
warped moon
#

ya idk why it does it

chilly marsh
#

i have 140ms

warped moon
#

but its happened to me enough to notice

chilly marsh
#

not sure but garrote dont apply everytime

warped moon
#

yep

wraith knot
#

It's like

#

If you press the next ability but then change your mind for whatever reason, it will do the one that you queued and that kept confusing me

warped moon
#

this is a little different than that

wraith knot
#

Game feels way more smooth

warped moon
#

in my experience its like it sends everything about the ability but the ability

#

like it plays the sound, does the animation

#

but it doesnt go

wraith knot
#

Yeah maybe it doesn't have anything to do with it, it was just an idea and it helped me either way so idk

warped moon
#

i dont think garrote itself is bugged though because i think itd be a big thing

#

i have a feeling it is desync

wraith knot
#

41k dps 5min training dummy session, 46k on sim

#

I made a few mistakes

#

But yeah I'm already doing better than last time I think

#

I gotta get used to not autobraining my way to 7 pts rupture forcibly

brave comet
#

GG!

wraith knot
#

Yo watching Whispyr is good too

severe meadow
#

holy moly Paladins is a fight of all time

coral ibex
#

paladins is so bad

severe meadow
#

yeah that was uh

coral ibex
severe meadow
#

fucking ass

timber pawn
#

the worst part is that on paper we should be amazing on Paladins, but instead we trash cuz blizz nerfed all our cleave into the dirt

severe meadow
#

I was doing super well on our first pull

#

and then played the 2nd pull like shit

#

and of course we kill it

frosty cedar
#

I feel like we kinda good on paladins

fallow canopy
#

@strange onyx get fucked bozo

stinky class

Next time..

warped moon

im parsing

#

I blame our tanks

#

Didn't stack dragons for so long dude

wraith knot
halcyon crypt
#

me right there Youngczar

solar wyvern
#

4% buff 😋 inc

#

Assa tier!

spice surge
#

Ele getting like 10% though

solar wyvern
#

we dont uh

#

talk about ele

#

!

halcyon crypt
spice surge
#

Their discord says 8% pure ST

#

Which is still a lot

warped moon

#

5 min target dummy

#

5 min sim

#

Man the advice I've gotten here is so good

severe meadow
#

25 on alleria is making me want to cry

coral ibex
#

im proggin p2 rn

#

something is not right

#

this shit is so messy

severe meadow
#

and blowing people up

coral ibex
#

yup

fallow canopy
#

The damage taken is not poggers

wraith knot
#

Meanwhile I'm over here hitting a training dummy like

gray raven
#

Implacable tracking is still messed up?

fallow canopy
#

yes

severe meadow
#

p2 HOLY

#

(we had a tank dead going into it)

wraith knot
#

But I am not sure why it is doing that or when

coral ibex
#

it resets when you lose both buffs

wraith knot
#

Christ.

gray raven
#

So meaning it works once then never again

wraith knot
#

Seems to be a gamble

#

Sometimes work

fallow canopy
#

if you use arc ui you can sort of make a work around that always works if not then time to count to 5 bucko

wraith knot
#

Sometimes no work

severe meadow
#

if you lose both buffs in combat it works again

#

It just breaks constantly

gray raven
onyx crane
#

I pray for HC Alnseer in vault

wraith knot
#

Man they must be super overworked at blizz HQ, Activision probably has like 3 guys sitting there working 24/7 and they're probably Nigerian meanwhile the CEO office is like a wine cellar with a fire place and the shareholders are all sitting around the fire discussing how they're gonna fk rogues harder next time

severe meadow
#

it ain't that deep

fallow canopy
#

how hard can it be

bright turret
#

we designed them wrong, as a joke - the class

wraith knot
severe meadow
fallow canopy
#

then count to 4 and then to 1

severe meadow
#

rogue is incredibly simple rn

wraith knot
onyx crane
#

I can only coubt to two

bright turret
#

arcui is fantastic and very worth learning if implaccable is giving you grief in the base UI

wraith knot

#

Got the class laughing lil gup

#

hit that training dumby, count to 5

wraith knot
#

Bro chill

#

Don't work out your failing attempts on me

onyx crane
wraith knot
#

No need for that

bright turret
wraith knot
#

Jesus like I'm just joking around about something that is broken in the game and not getting fixed

#

Bro throws a fit at me lmao

onyx crane
#

We should ask wispy to shut down the disc till we get buffed big time

wraith knot
#

Imagine being that full of yourself

severe meadow
#

Are you okay

#

xd

wraith knot
#

I'm fine kiddo

#

Grow tf up

bright turret
#

ill wager sin and outlaw get more buffs after this week

#

3-4% obv

#

sub stats haven't fully realized their strong 4-set

severe meadow
#

There's a crazy amount of pad

gray raven
#

What’s the secret sauce that arcui has that tracks buffs properly?

onyx crane
#

Idk how to be good at assa, maybe I just suck at gaming i should start crochet or something

bright turret
#

bit early to call cranking when we haven't even seen what flavor of mythic mechs screw melee

severe meadow
onyx crane
#

I did earlier

#

I think i need to read the flow of the fights a bit better, manage cds better

wraith knot
bright turret
wraith knot
#

I feel better

bright turret
#

can also make your icons glowy when off CD, or debuff missing, etc

onyx crane
#

Like my dumbass pressing cds right before chimmy flies up

bright turret
#

closest you can get to WAs atm

north spruce
#

Is it possible that I install arcui specifically for implac and have it not replace my current cdm etc

bright turret
#

you can also create extra groups, and just straight up drag icons to wherever you want

#

that I do not know

#

when I installed it overrided it

gilded oasis
#

I don't think it coeexists well with other CDMS

bright turret
#

no idea if you can disable that

north spruce
#

Hmm okay I’ll have a go later ig

#

Tbf the only cdm add on I have is centred cdm

onyx crane
#

Anyone killed the delve boss on ?? With assa?

coral ibex
#

not solo xd

onyx crane
#

Cuz i get clapped by melee so hard

#

The survivability is just not present

severe meadow
#

I've gotten it to like 40% as assa

outer lodge
#

i did

severe meadow
#

It's kinda ass tbh

coral ibex
#

your best bet is prob go sub with perm tricks

outer lodge
#

with a group of 5 😉

severe meadow
#

cannot be fucked to grind this boss

onyx crane
#

Nah i mean solo

coral ibex
#

not with current ilvl

#

gonna be ball crushingly hard on rogue

severe meadow
#

you could prob giga level valeera and do it but

coral ibex
#

yea or that

#

my valeera is only level 24

onyx crane
#

I nean mine is lvl 29

severe meadow
onyx crane
#

And grey :c

fallow canopy
#

@gray raven

north spruce
#

Tbh I much prefer the design of kyvesa which needed mechanical skill rather than gear to meet a dps or survivability check

onyx crane
north spruce
#

Like it was fun learning and getting it right knowing the only thing holding you back was yourself

#

Telegraphs could have been more visible but whatever

onyx crane
#

If my rogue didn't get wacked by this boss so hard

#

I could easily kill it

north spruce
#

Tried deathstalker for bait and switch?

onyx crane
#

Hmmm

#

I have not

hollow mesa
#

what makes him hit 3.5 times harder?

north spruce
#

Crit?

knotty vapor
#

probs crit

hollow mesa
#

crit and mega crit?

onyx crane
#

Some say his dmg ramps up

north spruce
#

If so he’d have a buff

#

One would assume

severe meadow
hollow mesa
#

this was on pull once LOL

onyx crane
#

I'm too embarrassed to post my logs :3

severe meadow
#

you can dm me them

#

p1 dps is crazy

# onyx crane Some say his dmg ramps up

it 100% ramps. tickled my prot warr on pull then starts cranking later on. 1 thing to be careful of though is you dont turn your back to him while moving out of stuff or while getting pulled around by the black holes (god i am so sick of black hole esque mechanics in every fucking piece of content)

brave comet
#

my friend said that he's not gonna play much wow cause he's doing his final years in college, midnight releases and he plays wow all the time

vital flicker
#

Yo we popped evasion and dodged the last round of pre-RWF tuning no rogue buffs for a month lets go

severe meadow
#

brave comet
#

i tried to bust his balls a bit by saying his major must be easy

#

i'm just a nepo baby bumb

#

How much of a damage bonus is 2 set for assassin?

wraith knot
#

I'm not an expert at simming though only just learned so I don't know how

hollow mesa
#

3% prolly

signal karma
#

is it bait to craft a 2nd weapon instead of like wrists if my off hand is my lowest piece

bitter solar
#

yes

signal karma
#

as my 2nd craft

#

can you help me understand why

bitter solar
#

offhand is a stat stick

#

you gain very little dps from an offhand

#

vs saying crafted bracers or your lowest ilvl that you can put an embellishment on

severe meadow
signal karma
#

oh wow that's very unintuitive, that's good to know thank you

severe meadow
#

so no you wouldn't craft a 2nd weapon

signal karma
#

roger that i'll go bracers

coral ibex
#

should i pot lust or execute dm

#

prob execute but now we care about haste

ashen scroll
#

has anyone else encountered this implacable buff tracking bug?

if i let the envenom stacks fall off and enter the energy regen portion of implacable, i cannot see the new implacable buff if i start envenoming for stacks

jovial inlet
#

Does Secondary Poisoning proc off of Envenom?

Yes, Sozin. That happens to me too. It's quite annoying.

ashen scroll
#

dead at least its not just me

balmy condor
#

(Which means the vast majority will be from autos)

severe meadow
#

@coral ibex ya'll do p3 prog?

coral ibex
#

yea

#

3% wipe

#

end of the night

#

🙁

#

my p2 sucks

balmy condor
severe meadow
#

We got to 40% with like 6 dead

balmy condor
#

Boss fucks

#

One of the hardest week ones for sure

coral ibex
#

i played like poopoo and peepee and balls

#

tank swaps kept going poorly and so my p2 cds were shit

past bobcat
balmy condor
past bobcat
#

and still not killing it?

#

damn

fallow canopy
balmy condor
#

Yeah I mean a clean p3 would’ve done it

#

But it was not clean

#

I think we were 6 healing 26?

severe meadow
#

over 20 feels so much harder

#

for healing

fallow canopy
#

We felt like the scaling is really fucked

severe meadow
#

Yeah

#

we went from 25 down to 20

#

and it was a crazy difference

fallow canopy
#

Same

severe meadow
#

Hit p3 the first pull after trimming

fallow canopy
#

Like night and day

coral ibex
#

we prob could have killed it with another few pulls

#

our 4% wipe was far from clean

#

and now it’ll fall over tomorrow

severe meadow
#

ye vault and m+

#

sicko mode

balmy condor
#

Tuning alone

#

Without the gear

#

There’s more buffs than nerfs raidwide

wraith knot
#

Looking forward to my next raids, I was 2.3k dps away from sim last try

#

Great advice I got here too bad can't count to 5

sudden brook
#

So does the CDM not track the apex?

severe meadow
#

It only fixes when you either leave combat or let both buffs drop

inner ibex
#

any good marcos for Assass that you guys use?

balmy condor
#

!macro

prisma monolithBOT
#

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

#showtooltip Deathmark
/cast Deathmark
/use 13
rancid anvil
#

What did people do to beat the nemesis on ?? I am getting wrecked by pure white attacks

acoustic roost
#

with elusiveness and the crimson vial talent as well. Helps when you have to res valeera a bunch of times

grim jay
#

The name alone made the enemy tremble

fallen wasp
#

does assassination also have major energy starvation problems like outlaw?

grim jay
#

Assassination is probably the most dry of them all

#

And outlaw shouldnt even be that starved

sudden brook
#

has anybody been playing this spec in dungeons

#

Does it suck

#

Thinking of playing it tomorrow but wanna know the vibe

strange onyx
#

I kinda vibe it

#

2p + imp garr + CT

fallen wasp
grim jay
sudden brook
#

damage wise or vibe wise

grim jay
#

Vibe wise

fallen wasp
#

i see that assassination is below arms now lol

grim jay
#

Damage wise kinda hard to judge on m0s

fallen wasp
#

so i guess sin is similar to arms in that you're basically spending a lot of time on white hits?

strange onyx
sudden brook
#

unsure if i wanna spam zeros on sin

#

Or just stick law

strange onyx
#

How’s law been? Only played it week 2

#

I feel like I am blind playing it

strange onyx
quiet oar
#

Thats happens so often

#

That 25+ is whack for Endbosses

#

but like 14-20 ist sweet spot

#

makes it so easier

runic hinge
#

Spec is pretty fun tho

sudden brook
#

In raid also fun

#

But rogue damage overall feels like a letdown

#

It's a very busy and different spec lol

fallen wasp
#

Hows assassination in terms of fun? In m+ in particular

sand elm
#

nulleous ?? fucking sucks as assassination

quiet oar
#

I think it sucks as Rogue in General

#

Every solo Content sucks as Rogue in fact

sand elm
#

sub get it easy mode cos shadow dance drops aggro so valeera tanks it

#

but we have to face tank it

#

best ive gotten is 15%
203k auto attacks man

static glacier
#

Low-key

#

I kinda fuck with prep in a major way

#

Still 2 charges woulda been better garf

grim jay
#

But I'd probably just stick with outlaw

#

For lower dungeons

grim jay
#

Comparatively

fallen wasp
#

Ahould we play sudden demise in m0? Just because everything dies when you sneeze at it. And is it still omega energy starved?

grim jay
#

You just stick with the suggested build

#

And vibe along

#

Could even play the raid cleave option and just be there for the bosses ig

#

If you know your group is gonna blast packs

static glacier
#

No old crimson tempest / it’s slightly slower to spread bleeds and the poison side of our kit is more important than it used to be

grim jay

#

This week I will not look at adds. Or ads. I will be a new rogue

rugged basalt
#

Vouch, as the guy in the corner chair

shut sand
signal karma
#

eyy i got a 98 on a heroic fight lets goo

shut sand
#

Poisons have terrible scaling

#

Esp deadly poison

#

Giga troll first talent

#

They used be bigge rpart of ur kit, weapon poisons

#

I think the idea was to make ur rotational dps more important than afk dps

#

For example warriors in vanilla, 90% of ur dmg came from heroic strike infused autos & white hits

#

So pressing Bloodthirst didnt feel rewarding

#

They’ve mad eit so 95% of ur dmg, is not from weapon poisons

normal mist
#

Kb is, in theory, a poison, no?

shut sand
#

Its from bleeds and envenoms and mutes(which also buffs ur wep poison dmg through buffs so technically that added dmg from weapon poisons is actually from u pressing mute/envenom)

shut sand
#

This why the talent

#

Increased dmg to wep poisons by 20/40% is shit

#

Its one of the most dog shi talents

normal mist
#

Deadly and therefore instant do a good chunk of damage for something you don't even have to think about

shut sand
#

Cuz ur wep poispns are shit

shut sand
#

Are poison talents

#

Why are rogues not warriors

#

Why all our dmg bleeds and physical?

#

U cant tell me we talent into these poisons we dont even get them for free

#

And they do fuck all dmg?

normal mist
#

Envenom is also poison DMG no? Nature in this case

shut sand
#

Its not even that mucj more than instant poison

shut sand
#

But its not about nature dmg

#

Its about ur poisons which is suppost to be big identity to assa rogue

#

Doing fuck all

#

Esp weapon poisons

normal mist
#

That changed a few years ago

shut sand
#

KB is more dmg than both wep poisons combined 2x over

#

And that thing is on a fking cd

normal mist
#

Like warriors don't spam heroic strike 24/7 anymore

shut sand
#

Which gives u hasteeee which is suppost to buff ur wep poisons application

#

BUT IT DOES FK ALL

#

CUZ THEY DONT SCALE

#

yeah but bro cmon, an auto 10x stronger than poison

#

Like tf

#

Its not the base dmg thats bad

#

The poisons are good early game

#

Its the scaling

#

That is dogshi poop

#

Obv u need poisons cuz without them u do fk all dmg cuz theyre required for a lot of buffs and procs

#

But the itself they provide is fuck all

normal mist
#

If auto attacks do the same DMG over a fight than deadly+instant I don't think it is that bad

shut sand
#

Thats why the talent that gives 5% wep application increase and doesnt branch anywhere

#

Is complete dogshi

shut sand
#

At least in ST situation

#

Its not even close

normal mist
#

Can you tell me which fight is absolutely ST?

#

Afaik most are cleave

shut sand
#

Chimaerus

analog pelican
shut sand
#

Is mostly ST

normal mist
#

Okay

#

So

analog pelican
#

my poisons did more than autos pure st

#

on salad

normal mist
#

This is normal mode rank 1 assa chim

#

It's close

shut sand
#

Just know melees and env go up even more

#

When u have warriors

#

N shit that reduce armour

#

Very few classes can buff ur nature dmg

#

Alsoooo

#

If they buff scaling to wep poisons

#

It would place rogues in a better spot

#

And it would make all talents that buff poisons slightly better

normal mist
#

Rogues have been in a good spot for a long time tho

shut sand
#

And the ones that specifically buff weapon poisons

#

Wayyyy better

#

And those talents are ones that are the weakest

#

Atm

shut sand
#

Whilst providing little utility and like 0 class buffs

normal mist
#

That's not bad since there's more tuning to be done

#

We have a DR

shut sand
#

Thats why I said buff rogues

#

Thats the tuning

#

Buff em

#

Buff their poisons

#

Buff deadly

#

And amplifying too

#

Their scaling

twin hull
#

what buff to take in algathars as sin rogue?

Bcs its flat % values

Isnt all of them % except mastery

grim jay
# balmy condor green bar = phys

It wouldnt only need to be physical, it would also need to be a bleed because of zoldyck.

Therefore I might add
Green Bar = phys = bleed

willow halo
#

Should I hold the timer of the envenom almost down to 0 for energy or just spend it like crazy lol

willow halo
#

Lmao

balmy condor
#

what

sharp viper

what

grim jay
#

What

wraith knot
#

what

normal mist
#

What

sick aspen
#

when simming for current raid style fights, what's the best way to go about it since they're not straight patchwerk? cleave add? patchwek but set it to multiple bosses?

balmy condor
#

generally will still be patchwerk 1t, for paladins you can do 2t cleave

#

but there's not really anything that's completely accurate

shut sand
balmy condor
#

yes

shut sand
#

Does it get buffed by mastery?

balmy condor
#

yes

grim jay
#

Yes

normal mist
#

Yes

jade abyss
#

When i want to put only one point in spatter, which point i skip for that? Doomblade ?

shut sand
#

Weapon poisons is shit

rugged basalt
#

Me, an envenom timer

shut sand
#

Imagine having 2 of them

#

With buffs from enevenom, talents

#

Mastery

grim jay
#

One buffs envenom and envenom isnt shit tho

shut sand
#

And autos thats buffe by jack shi other than snd

jade abyss
shut sand
#

Does more dmg

#

Thats should tell u everytjing

grim jay
#

They also are part of the energy regen

normal mist
#

Are you doing alright mate? Why so much hate towards the poisons

grim jay
#

Weapon poisons do quite much overall for something you apply once an hour

shut sand
#

Iz dogshiii

shut sand
grim jay
#

It certainly does

shut sand
#

Its like a passive/buff

grim jay
#

Its passive and no effort

#

So it cant do a gazillion dmg

shut sand
#

Nah bro back in the day ud apply them every 20 min doesnt matter lasted long enough for any fight

grim jay
#

Back in the day noone cares about

#

Game was shit in classic

shut sand
#

Technically auto dmg is passive

normal mist
#

Back in the day when I was 10 years old mate

#

Bring back the old days

rugged basalt
#

How long ago was that dogekek

normal mist
#

For me 21 years ago

shut sand
#

Bro but ur main poisons

#

Are the weapon poisons

#

They shouldnt be dogshi

grim jay
#

The value of weapon poisons still isnt in damage alone

shut sand
shut sand
#

Cuz they can trigger buffs n procs

grim jay
#

Idk where you see poisons on other classes

#

Well hunter had one

#

Ig

shut sand
#

Windfury is equivalent yo rogue poison

grim jay
#

What

normal mist
#

No

shut sand
#

And amounted for like 20% of a shamans dmg

normal mist
#

It isn't

shut sand
#

Yes it was weapon enchantment

grim jay
#

It literally is a whole different thing

shut sand
#

Or used to be

grim jay
shut sand
#

No it is like legit same shit

#

Apply it to ur wep

#

Gives u more dmg

grim jay
#

Thats like saying its the same as dk runeforge

normal mist
shut sand
#

Nah runeforge is not temp enghantment

shut sand
grim jay
#

Go hit a dummy without your weapon poisons

shut sand
grim jay
#

And tell me how well you do

rugged basalt
#

I was taking crit bc I never did that dungeon in df

shut sand
#

What does that jave to do with how much the weapon poison damage makes up of ur total damage done?

grim jay
rugged basalt
#

Agreed, I learn something new everyday

grim jay
#

Why is that concept so hard for you

shut sand
#

Poisons make up for a lot of ur dmg but not cuz they themselves deal a lot

#

I already explained this

#

U need them for buff and effects as well

#

Venomous wounds and it gives crit on regen etc

#

And increases bleed dmg

#

And envenom dmg

normal mist
#

So you are saying that poisons are extremely powerful

shut sand
#

Im saying weapon poisons themselves deal low dmg, how much they affect ur other dmg isnt bad

#

Their own dmg in relation to ur total dmg is whats bat

#

Bad

grim jay
#

Idk

shut sand
#

Esp considering how many talents hard buff then and those talents still trash

normal mist
#

Yeah...

#

Envenom in shambles

shut sand
#

Imagine u can buff wep poisons by 40% dmg for only 2 talent points

#

And its still shit

#

Ud rather take 6-8% dmg to all poisons and bleeds

grim jay
#

There are talents with less dps impact

shut sand
#

Instead

grim jay
#

There need to be low impact talents

shut sand
#

Then its not a choice

grim jay
#

Stuff that enables all sorts of shit cant deal insane dmg

shut sand
#

Its not a talwnt tree

#

Wtf

#

Ur argument made 0 sense

grim jay
#

Yours doesnt have logic

#

Not everything can be at capstone level

shut sand
#

What fking unique utility is the most straight up direct dmg buff give u?

#

This some stupid shi

grim jay
shut sand
#

This guys brain is cooked

grim jay
#

Idk saying that after realizing noone is of your opinion is wild

#

Cant argue with that

#

Do a forum post and get ignored over there dead

normal mist
#

Idk, I can see a lot of things being buffed before poison deadly/instant being one of them

rugged basalt
#

Adding cold blood visuals back

grim jay
#

Buffing envenom

#

Yet again

#

So how does it work? I just use from stealth the Garrote, then have 6 sec to get CP atleast to 5 and then use the Garrote again while I have the Improved Garrote buff?

Do we replace improved garrote on 1s and refresh regular on 5s?

balmy condor

depends on if you have razor wire or not, but 5s is fine yes

#

with razor wire technically it's 7.2

rugged basalt
#

Oh with rw it’ll be 7.2/7 for garrote/rupture froggo_note

I was doing both on 5 and I didn’t know

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

bleak star
#

is there an in game option to track timers on eneymy name plate? i use to use omni cc was curious if that still worked

balmy condor
#

30% of 18 is 5.4 for garrote, but with razor wire it's 30% of 24

#

same concept for rupture, every combo point adds duration

#

so if you're sitting on 5cp, your pandemic timer to safely refresh is technically shorter than if you were sitting on 7cp

There’s something uniquely exhilarating about stepping into a raid as an Assassination Rogue in World of Warcraft—a feeling that blends precision, patience, and lethal intent into a seamless playstyle. While others charge headfirst into the fray or unleash chaotic bursts of magic, you operate in the shadows, orchestrating a quiet symphony of poison and steel that steadily dismantles even the mightiest bosses.
Every encounter becomes a test of finesse. You’re not just dealing damage—you’re crafting it. Maintaining perfect uptime on your bleeds and poisons, aligning cooldowns with encounter mechanics, and anticipating windows of vulnerability turns each fight into a high-stakes performance. There’s a deep satisfaction in watching your damage ramp up over time, knowing that your careful planning is paying off as the boss’s health melts away under your relentless toxins.
In a raid environment, your role feels both independent and essential. While the group coordinates positioning, mechanics, and survival, you slip into your rhythm—methodically building combo points, executing finishers with surgical precision, and capitalizing on every opportunity to maximize efficiency. When everything clicks, it’s almost meditative: a flow state where your rotation becomes instinct, and every global cooldown lands exactly where it should. And then there are those moments—when the raid is on the edge, the boss nearing defeat, and your damage-over-time effects continue ticking with ruthless consistency. You’re not just reacting-you’re sustaining pressure, ensuring that even in chaos, the enemy continues to suffer. It’s a quiet dominance, less flashy than explosive specs, but deeply rewarding in its control and consistency.
Playing an Assassination Rogue in raids isn’t about brute force—it’s about mastery. It’s about knowing that beneath the surface, behind the numbers and mechanics, you are the unseen executioner, patiently and expertly bringing down giants one precise strike at a time.

when I went through german border patrol I was talking to the agent in german and like yeah visiting my grandparents for the holidays blah blah whatever

Heroic is diff
Second silver arrow hitting you = big ouchie
You actually have to care about when you hit the silver arrow on the boss since it cleanses the increased damage taken debuff off the monster
So arrow targeting order changes

Does anyone have a list of what bosses to use "fatebound raid+cleave" build in and which to switch to ST for?

Simulations Have Gotten Updates

Things are now much more accurate and in a clearer spot than before. Profiles have been submitted and will soon show up on the simulationcraft page and bloodmallet and whatever other website. Yes there will be a video going over this as well with some updated notes and findings at some point (mythic+ opens up at 11am, it's 4am as of writing this, I am so tired), wowhead guide is still accurate but there might be some minor things like some trinket or weird niche rotation step I need to adjust.

Last note is if you're simming yourself, make sure to do so using the "Latest" option under the SimC Version setting.
Everything under this sentence is just detailed explanation about what happened and is mostly yapping.

Need Advil for My Headaches

YIPPIE your damage went up!!! This is due to numerous reasons, but the short of it is that simulations (and the game) have had a lot of issues in the backend over the last couple of weeks that have required new testing, troubleshooting, implementation changes, etc.

One example of an impactful change was a hidden update to the in-game attributes assigned to Deathmark. Instead of using the standard Apply Aura (6) flag, it quietly changed to Apply Party Aura (35) instead at some unknown point in time, which caused Deathmark to no longer double the damage of garrote/rupture/poisons in simulations. For a bit it was also suspected this would cause rogues in a party to benefit from each others Deathmarks, but this was disproven after testing. This is just one example of some of the absolute spaghetti jank that has been problematic, but there was also caustic spatter randomly cratered from 98% to 16% uptime for seemingly no reason one day, apex lashes were acting strange, talents randomly didn't work anymore, DTB's poison application reduction randomly was 33.5% instead of 30%, secondary poisoning wasn't proccing from non-lethals correctly, etc etc etc I'm probably forgetting so much more.

All of which comes alongside the usual expansion-release issues of Trinkets and Tuning and other weird things (Alnseer had five updates in sims yesterday to account for its equally confusing spaghetti code). In short, things have been an absolute mess, thank you for sticking it out and being patient while I rip my hair out and go bald with anger ❤️

Does this change anything

Short answer:
Not really, talents and items and stuff all seem to be pretty much the same on first glance, but it's possible we're replacing some 2% talent with some other 2% talent I guess. Improved Garrote might be slightly better than previously thought. Gear/Stats/Embellishments/Hero Talents/Anything Else is mostly stable, as recommendations were done mostly with log data, not sims.

Longer answer:
There are some sequencing and min-max things that have changed as a result of this, including:

  • Puzzle Box has gotten much stronger (around +1 to +1.5% depending on situation), and should now be cast before Deathmark in sequences (envenom->puzzlebox->deathmark->kingsbane)
  • Vanish with Improved Garrote should be synced with Deathmark only IF there is not an add wave coming soon, and you won't lost a cast of vanish. For sim purposes in Dungeonslice as an example, this takes the form of the boss dying before the 2:00 deathmark can be used fully, and so vanish is simply used on cooldown. If the boss were 3min long instead, you would sync. In actual usages in-game, you would still want to adjust to fight mechanics/add spawns as necessary.
  • Some other sim optimizations were made but these are mostly to cover some edge cases and shouldn't affect your play, including spreading bleeds better without crimson tempest talented, allowing ambush on pull if talented into specifically blindside + imp ambush + not shrouded, adding time_to_die checks to avoid sending cooldowns on adds that will instantly explode, and burning off remaining energy at the end of a fight.
