since chimeras is a 6:30 fight roughly you just send the vanish in the opener anyways right @frosty cedar
I think they shoudl remove any other form of aoe from assassination and make spatter 100% damage dealt
you can't even multidot anymore, make it super 1 dimensional
nerf mute buff shib
Chimeras? My current R1 log has me using vanish for the first adds but I go down first
going down 2nd
Tbf my strategy was to snapshot the last 2 seconds of puzzlebox to imp gar the adds in first set and spread
so I always deathmark the boss
You can't do that anymore
I would send CDs boss pull and check PB timer to snapshot
If your in second group I'm not certain. I would definitely experiment with holding for add sets if I were trying to parse
yeah I was now just gonna vanish in the opener anyways cause otherwise I am gonna lose a cast
mainly wanna kill the boss 
Well you don't really gain much of anything for doing it in the opener now
yeah but my thinking was that one half wasted vanish and and lining up the remaining 3 casts with deathmark is better than 3 casts outside of dm
cause lets say you vanish at 30 seconds
one vanish is gonna come up at 6:30 (if casting on CD)
and boss is already dead by then
Borger
im just showing im benched eksde
im using this bench evening to go meet a friend
what about you
respect, I still wanna grind rogue m+ 10s for loot
finished huntard off
maybe level a 3rd char after rogue is bis'd out from 10s
i mean ive already done 20 keys on main
i just need to do alt keys mostly
but also need to get 266 shoulders
I did like 40-50 on each, rogue is largely done, just need to convert some slots to hero / farm cata charges
ngl im super happy im free from algethar prison
rogue got box first run, hunt took like 25-30
Paladins?
yea
i was in on thursday cause we didnt have everyone that was supposed to bnethere
yea by being on the bottom
IF i wanted to fuck around and play sudden demise in lower keys what would our talent loadout look like anyone have one?
Check the leveling build on wowhead
question on the crucible of chaotic energies trinket: I did not realize that we needed to upgrade it by doing the weekly quest and interacting with the console. It consistently sims as one of my two strongest trinket regardless. I'm wondering if the sims assume it is fully upgraded or take into account the trinkets current state. I.e. maybe the trinket isnt actually as strong as sims are telling me if i haven't been upgrading it with the console
there is checkmarks for that in the sim
but default is assuming that you have the relevant upgrades
which are the first 3
damn ok. I can't even find this console. Not a very intuitive system
I thought that trinket only applied while in the void storm?
I guess not. It was always simming really high for me and now its in the a tier list trinkets on wowhead
didn't realize there was stuff to do for the bonus tho
Today I leared something
works on the voidstorm raid also
When are the aoe buffs coming up?
are the newest Sin buffs moving it ahead of Sub?
It works everywhere actually I think
It's just that in the voidstorm outside content it's absurdly strong
On reset, aka tuesday/wednesday
@balmy condor should we touch these at all? its only in voidstorm so i imagine its irrelevant raids/dung but got a guildie doubting it cuz "why would it be there if you cant use it". Can you confirm for me?
It says fighting inside voidstorm so its obviously a no but making sure with you to give him a definitive response, thank you
FYI i know the first one makes the trinket stronger for the crit/leech/speed but this is another story
its in all?
the protocols
Yes
are in all content
ok thanks
i guess i mixed up the effect of protocol on trinket with the minion pet/camps to rest and such effects
think i finally made my cdm and frames look somewhat nice
sub rogue
yea and
he is not a dom for suure
why cant i track my apex talent with bliz ui ? it works in beginning then just disapear
not what you said last night
if in say u crafted a weapon but have had no luck getting a hero track or mythic track weapon and have a champ off do u say just craft a 2nd weapon
Any UI suggestions for Implacable? So buggy
if i have no to other mythic track items and sitting on 120 crest just send a craft again
for crimson tempest, do you always send it in AOE when you reapply a garrote or do you try and garrote into rupture to ct?
I will often refresh rupture early in pandemic and then wait for gars to get lower before going gar -> ct spam to get imp gar value
pinging quake?
so i need to play assa for paladins
generally i just follow aoe rotation and keep bleeds up with tempest right?
How are you guys liking sin so far? haven't tried it this xpac yet.
I love the new changes. Just hope the buffs are enough that are coming.
Are you doing pretty well in m+? Feeling pretty weak as outlaw right now
Sin fun. Feels good and number big sometimes.
i might give it a go then
Just be aware we're not a gcd locked spec
So if you feel energy starved, try to enjoy it
Overall won't keep up with the other key pumpers. If that is what you are asking.
i think rogues in general aren't keeping up with any key pumpers right now lol
Sub can
yea but no one wants to play that spec
you can as assa
Idk what pumps, but I was keeping up with/beating my guildies in 13s/14s.
sin honestly does good damage in M+ despite community perception from a bunch of dooming and shitty tier list videos \
Anyone can, but a top sin parse won't keep up with top parse of arms or Demo or a few others.
As far as throughput
Not sure if it's true, but sin seems a little more forgiving than outlaw. A bit less rng
Sin is fun as shit imo
Idk jack about current OL but our rng feels fine. Sometimes you get fucked and you gotta 3x mut for a couple finisher in a row and gotta drop ur chain early, sometimes all ur builders crit and ur finishing every other global, but usually it's smooth
If you want forgiving I'd recommend sub. It's super easy now
It's something i refuse ๐ try to stay either sin or outlaw
It's the ret of rogues
is there a way to sim weapon oils? i want to check if smugglers enchanted edge is maybe better than 32 points of secondaries
ah found it. nvm
Is the most optimal to break the chain after 5?
u can using the old gear compare tool
it still works even though they say it isnt reliable
but it depends on what u wanna measure if its just oils it should be fine
as long as ur no changing entire gearsets
guys lura takes effectively double damage in p3 of midnight falls?!?!?!?! insane assa value?????
copy over ur loadout, copy the gearsets, make 2 extra gearsets
1 with the oils u want
and the other with the other set of oils
Generally, yes. But sometimes ur flooded with energy during CDs/hero/lucky streaks and you just go for a while. Sometimes you're starved from bad luck or overplaying an earlier chain and you gotta refresh DoTs so you just let it drop and it's fine. Technically early drops are more efficient cause the first env gives 20 regen and subsequent ones only give +15.
had problems with gear compare but with quick sim and using a diffrent oil every time, i got it
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

how do you open a logthread again? ๐ apparently i suck and i need help
Post log
Got some basic asa optimization questions.
Is it better to hold envenoms till last second to extend the buff?
Then is it also better to not envenom until that energy regen buff is gone?
Is it also more optimal to envenom before kingsbane?
- no
- no, the regen buff is independent of the stacks
- yes, especially in opener when you don't have slice and dice
if echo had an assa rogue boss was giga dead, real
real
i'm the only one unable to track Implacable with CDM? seams bugged, and some times track and sometimes not
he knows
nah that's regular
pop a summoning stone and get backshotbot in there
it's just not really functional atm
you can but its not working half of the boss fight
@solar wyvern what talents using for high push, and what weapon enchants u like to use it
probably the enchants that sim the best for him
this is his stuff but you should use sims for your own character
my meta was for him response so i would ask why
๐
whats that insane character profile addon where it becomes like a cinematic or whatever xddd
idk but can it fix how my logs look?

Dont do this
And gray parsing is bad too

just play assa and not silly sub rogue
is it not the parse but the icon that needs fixing
yeah I am playing assa on it every time after that
look at the ethical gaming tho
wanted to just get it over with so fully focused on ads 
Yeah I will do the same when we are done with chimaerus
I tried assa on chim seems good
its pretty good on chim ngl
yeah felt like it, what are your kill timers?
You have 2nd intermission? I guess we shouldn't
we had boss at like 17-18 , probably missing dmg?
you definitely want to skip second intermission
my best kill was 6:37 https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8JhXGAwMPHCZparN?fight=16&type=damage-done
do you send your tank alone in the last soak before intermission?
not the intermission soak, but the second in the sequence, if that makes sense
you can just focus the boss from that point
hahaha wtf
time to go dark agian
any clip someone ?
I mean surely they both just log off xd
replay on liquid stream rn
thx a lot โค๏ธ
1 Billion HP on new phase lmao
looks like she took extra damage?
I think? they had like 2 dps up and she lost a few %
What hp% should the boss be there?
like 25 or something?
27% is when our tank takes it and we burn boss
but from the few seconds it looks like a real phase still
with the kyvesa lines
and dodging
yeah I think they have to dodge the star mechanic while also only being able to stand in the light circles
like god forbid they still do memory game there
just no info on the phase really
absolute banger
This was the one good pull
yeah your a little beind. ur boss is 31% at that point whereas ours was 27
you should aim to skip that intermission. but you are going to want more boss damage
idk but I would be looking to see if anyone is holding CDs on pull sothat they can pad on adds
or if they are not using it at 2m just before the first intermission
I have two crafted embellished items, can I craft something without an embellishment and wear it? My bracers are killing my ilvl
yeah I mean apparently they are only like 8:30 into the fight
which is very short for an endboss right?
awesome! I tried looking on wowhead and raidbots but couldnt get an answer
So this shit is actually gonna be a real phase and they are already 350 pulls deep 
Yeah our DPS seems a bit low
im pondering whether i want to count or look top right
I do a bit of both 
I mean its not like you lack time on assa to look around
look around = stand in bad
healer mechanic
is there anything Sin has to do prekey?
firstly
thank your team that they didn't make you stand in city like NPC
other than that nah, just poison check
assa slaps in higher keys tho
idk i switched today im a tourist
Alrighty, ty
do u guys use the wowhead opener ? or do i need to do anything special?
better late than never
garrote -> build 5+ -> rupture -> build 5+ -> envenom -> deathmark -> KB -> Envenom at 5+
thats all ๐
garrote is better
Wowhead opener 100%
If Implacable is at 80% do I literally just hands off keyboard to get it to trigger the energy regen?
you dont need to hands off keyboard
you can and should build towards your next envenom, but dont cast envenom
theres a p good chance a bleed can be refreshed ๐
you should then wait before firing your spender. and you only do this if you would not overcap otherwise
yes you can also do this
okay so build CP, refresh bleeds and if I have everything loaded its cool to miss 1-2 GCDs to let apex fall off?
the reason why you still want to build up to your next envenom while waiting for it to fall is because your builders get to still benefit from the envenom + poison application and the damage buff from inspiring
yes, assa is not GCD locked except when you are overcapping energy, so don't worry about it at all
type to ur party that theyre doing great ๐
alright, thank you!
I sometimes type weird shit to my raid in /say
yw love u
or just alt tab and change my song on spotify
death to outlaw ๐
good value techniques
whats an outlaw
fake rogue!!!!!!!!!!!
what about aoe opener?
how much do you spread in like AA first pull?
even now liquid and echo should switch their rogue to assa for lura 2x p3 dmg
I basically dont press FOK at all in AA first pull
dang, but opener stays the same?
I would just garrote the big plant guy, tempest, tempest, rupture, then spam tempest and envenom
You're just CTing?
yep
I have a disturbing AA build though that doesnt even take thrown precision and goes sudden demise cause I got bored of algethar farming
but even before I did that I think you just spam CT on that pull to get bleeds out
double garrote to get the longer garrote or single?
double garrote yeah
it is a long pull, the double is worth it
well atleast im doing something right, swapped to assa doing +12 keys but still during some pulls the big adds wont survive the entire deathmark duration
if they do the long pull anywho
they never will, still just full send though on the biggest add
yeah the plant will perish
its worth doing anyway, even if duration isnt all used up
Is this just to pad like a mofo on the plant trash ?
I go on the second big add to be pulled though
lmfao caught
lol
I got like 700k on first pull
im fighting both the adds and fps-killer during that big trash pull 
yes goat
embrace the degenerate AA bleed only build

feel the anguish of your comrades on the first boss
when they see why your dmg on first boss after you kill it is 230k
and they hover you
and see 50% SD dmg

demisemaxxing 
i also love not doing any real dmg
we do a bit of trolling
"Wow guys, I dealt so much DPS but we still depleted, you really suck"
just exit the dungeon and respec duh
sudden demise
It's spooky ghost damage
it's damage you basically steal away from your group
i mean, its padtastic thats for sure, but useless overall, ull be a wet noodle on bosses
I don't actually use SD btw
just so we're clear on that
he was asking if SD is the secret to get further than his dmg on that screenshot
i figured ๐
Either way it's pad tho
its actually only slightly behind the regular m+ build on ST cause you take the ambushy talents type shit. but yeah its generally meme damage. just something to spice up the algethar farm
it's 760 little guys

fear the inclusion of amp poison despite not having dragon tempered
cursed
just weaklings
its a FotM spec
aka
90% of people playing it have no idea what they are doing and just play it cus they saw a random Tier List
Most devourers suck tbh
its in the spec name
wow, i should be a Devourer DH
I just did 76k overall on my 260 Brewmaster with 2pc in a 10 Spire
Bro is just fully handless
I played with a 3.5k in a 14 and he did brew damage a
I rerolled to enhance
Devo suck to play
Why are you dead
Is it cuz im not playing assa
no one palys this spec
fuck ranged dps
how is there 1300 kills for midnight falls on normal
I still wanna smack things with weapon
Midnight falls gonna farm the fuck outta casual groups
cba to go into midnight falls brah ppl need it less for gear atp
how much % is 4set in aoe/dung?
idk, probs 4 or 5% or smth like that
i need more noobs to go in there and push my parse up
Ramp spec vs front loaded spec big surprise
but like, some fights lasted way too long - so he should still be able to ramp
and even pre-ramp when we are kiting to more packs

SV Hunter here, Im leveling an assa and I enjoy it lots. I hope you all enjoy it aswell even with its poor performance compared to other specs / classes

DS demise maxing?????
there you go


it almost got run over
!!!!
is there a way to macro an equipment set and spec change together
i can't tell if it doesn't exist or i am just searching for the wrong syntax
bc you can put equipment sets on your hotbars
The gear thing is character panel does this
The little helmet icon in the top right set gear with x spec
share build
SUDDEN DEMISE
I NEED
I HOPE YOU EXPLODE

jumpscared
wat is that your cat
is there a way to apply all 4 of my poisons at the same time or do i have to do them all one at a time
One at a time
omg
Idk im yolo enchants rn crit mast i think
Just search on logs/rio for talents, only swap consideration is 1x fatal conc -> secondary poison for small pack keys (5-7)
is this normal? ik sim usually knows better but is there a reason it wants to drop so much haste? are there breakpoints like sub has?
atm from the logs that ive seen, sin is the rogue spec doing more damage in M+. while Subt is on raid. do you think after this buffs on reset that will change on raid too? im asking this because lack some gear to play both stuff with different enchats, im lacking crit atm on sin, while some lilte haste as subt
Idk what youre comparing to, but the ring set is like .5% increase in st and crit is a very desirable stat
ah yeah i guess that doesn't really give much to go off of
ig i didn't realize just how much crit the sim favors
i have 918 atm which i thought was pretty good but I guess more is better
746 haste might be too much though ig
You dont wanna see my haste build with guidon...
Pretty sure i have like 850 haste 
Infinity energy hack (also infinity repairbill hack)
i might leave 1 rage and take acuity on the other weapon
Stat weight still wants me to get more crit btw. ๐
Crit is a very good stat for assa, who woulda thought
crit good stat

how much haste we want as sin ?
!stats
Assassination Stats
You will always get more accurate results using Raidbots Top Gear, as stat values will flucuate depending on gear and situation.
Agility (Item level) > Crit > Haste > Mastery >>>> Vers
The ratio between secondaries ends up being roughly 40/33/26/1
So is 850 mastery good then ๐ฅฒ
i was worse than that when i swapped to assa on friday
I havenโt really done it on purpose, just the way my gear has fallen out
Nice for sub I guess
Could time travel back to tww sin
I never really left
With the recent buffs, is assassination back? I don't mind sub, but I prefer assassination.
we've been back brother
Were we ever gone? 
To be fair, the dead GCDs is what did it for me in prepatch, tho I have heard it gets better with Apex. I will have to take it for a spin tomorrow, see how it feels.
those are very much still there
If I'm at 1250/508/491/245 do I go less crit or just flask haste?
would assume you flask haste
ty
Is there actually a sudden demise build
does it have to be a good one?
yes, but it's like 5-6% worse and it's only good if you count the sudden demise damage as real damage
which it definitely isn't
decided to check on assa after months, is it really THIS hard to get implacable to work on the cooldown manager? LUL
its literally just a buff tf
it is bugged
I wish this spec did damage in poop keys
but also you can just kinda yolo it and let envenom drop if you want the bonus
you only need to envenom 5x to max it out
and the first stack is the most valuable
why is the first stack the most valuable
I love that this channel is my home the first hour at work 
cant find a clear guide with rotations for sin anyone can help me out?
the one in discord is just simple with no details
!guide
thanks friend

do you mind i f you show you some things on stream if you have some free time?
I am at work 
no problem thanks bro, if any main sin is chilling please let me know i have some questions that i want to show on stream.
is dragon tempered blades mandatory in m+?
for any sort of non-weekly keys, yes
if you're just dicking around in a +10, not at all
ahh ok, so dropping it and amp poison for another point in scent of blood and sudden demise would be bad for pus hkeys?
Can someone explain why I am supposed to be dumping garrotes in my opener in m+? Am I supposed to just double improved garrote one target and then spread with CT? Or do I want to improved garrote a ton of different targets?
I guess my question also comes down to, does CT spread improved garrote or does it not give an improved garrote to the mobs it spreads to.
it spreads improved garrote
So double garrote for the duration bonus and then start spreading
yes
Lit, thanks
hello whats the haste cap as assa?
there is none
so no optimal haste is req?
we just follow the sims
okej:)
Does blindside help at all with energy starvation
when should i use my puzzle box in the opening like ----- garrote - muti - rupture - muti - muti - evenom and then puzzle box before Deathmark and Kingbane
?
I mean details doesn't show Augvoker damage properly no?
Correct
Box before CDs
there's a bunch of ways to play it honestly that are all kinda weird in their own way. I don't think there's necessarily like one build to play in that regard, like here's a couple screenshots of builds that could totally work with sudden demise in those pissrot weekly keys
the ones with blindside can do pretty respectable single target compared to the "recommended" build, the ones without blindside are more giga aoe gimmicky, but assassination has a pretty wide range of slush points (probably like 4ish points in any given build) that you can kinda put anywhere you want
right now its only listing prescience, bombardment and breath in my damage which accounts for a total of 4.8% of my total damage that key
Pit 11 btw
i think Inferno's Blessing is also an augvoker thing?
anyways with that added it rounds up to a nice 5%
this is the overall, some things missing
whats most important though is that it felt amazing in comparison to sub which ive ran for the majority of this season
the #1 mistake i felt i made during the key was holding on to vanish too much
i kept holding it for deathmark, but eventually i just desynced the cd's anyways by mistake
oh i guess a question i would have with those slush points @ashen pike
is it worth taking amp poison even if you dont have DTB?
or is it just to get to the right side of the tree?
oof, unlucky ping for that guy 
it's not the best thing ever, but yeah it's a valid point to take
yeah, we kinda never left
pit of saron is so good for sin x)
watching casualaddict go bonkers in MC made me jealous of his damage lol
i have no clue how he is doing so much
is there a way to sim more than 10target
and stat weights for such or na
ik its prob mastery/crit but would be curious on weighting
tank pulling big constantly is a big part of it
tank also letting restealths or chaining properly
desired_targets=x
chaining properly, didn't see a lot of restealthing
but thats less important now so
stat weights though 
chaining for constantly large target counts is the key
if you think you can divine the stars through stat weights, god bless I guess
go for it

guess i just need testin just wonderin if
i could potion of recklessness on big packs
and if its more value
you would giga DR yourself with box
in general as you add more and more and more targets, haste loses a lot of value, crit loses a decent amount of value, mastery gains a lot of value, vers gains a decent amount of value
haste/crit are to a big portion primarily resource stats right
so like, giga pull you don't need the crit for cp, you don't need haste for energy
they still do stuff obviously, like crit and haste are still damage
but mastery/vers just catch up
yea just min maxing
the main issue with recklessness is that you just DR yourself to hell
cause you box -> reckless
get 3 gorillion mastery
and it just all goes to shit
i still hate the feel of current asa, perma energy starved feels awful
the alternative is that you're recklessing and hitting crit I guess
So when pushing high keys stacking more mastery is preferred? At least for the big pulls throughout
yeh I mean if you're getting precise about it, you would want to run less haste than you do in raid
but you still want haste for bosses and cleave and shit
Good to know i followed the guide but i only do m+
yea im just mix maxing weird sht and wondering if recklesness is possibly nbetter in omega pull packs
prob just needs testing
yeh
big dslice enjoyer
just use that
follow that
stats and shit are just a recommendation at the end of the day
๐ซก
and realistically like the uber-min-max shit
is that you would swap haste/mastery around per dungeon
which like, I literally can't put into a guide
or heroic harry opening the guide to learn assa for the first time
his brains gonna explode
Iโm pretty new to simming and Iโve always just used ur wowhead to get an idea
don't out me like this
you can easily do 18's and shit just following wowhead guide and having zero original thoughts fwiw
Itโs great tho to have. taught mr the basics and now Iโm moving into 13/14s
lol not a single one of those in me
timing keys is just playing good consistently, knowing the dungeons and what will kill you and what's coming up
like if you know all the kicks and cc's and important things you have to do in order to not wipe
and you know the big pulls and the small pulls, can play around that without being a dumbass and slamming dm into like a 10% hp mob in a 3 pack
then you're good to go tbh
i miss pushing top 5-10 world keys
no group nowadays ๐ญ
and rogues omega hated atm
people put a ton of weight into like, perfect stats and being the most giga geared top whatever
and shit just
legit doesn't matter 99% of the time
90% of high keys is just coordinating cds
pushing keys is first and foremost time investment, then secondly it's repetition, then thirdly its game sense
and not inting
and then after all of that it's your actual min-max bullshit that everyone thinks matters
if im not mage or dh im not getting invited ๐
you're not missing timer on a +17 or a +18 because you forgot to sim your gems and didn't know about a haste breakpoint that doesn't actually exist, you missed the timer on a +17 because you didn't know the fucking dungeon, and your group missed a kick and killed someone
pug life
that's the actual reality
and also the people that are pushing 20's right now actually just ran the keys this season 300 times on beta and just have more experience than you
they're not inherently like
playing differently
or doing some secret technology
it's like comparing yourself to someone who has 400 pulls on a mythic boss
and going "man, they're so much better than me"
they aren't really
they've just done this infinitely more than you
unemployment buff ๐คง
I wish I was unemployed
Having a job is ruining my m+ potential
i cant get my 17s timed b/c i have a job ๐ญ
God today echo can actually win, Liquid will get more tired and make more mistakes, while they are rested and can blast
I believe 
anyone know if darkmoon faire flasks work in content
gotta get into a group fr fr!
ya working on that rn
i just run with the same like 5 people and never pug if i dont have to
its a tough life
Anyone here genuinely tried or have made it to title cut off?
Lucky enough to have a group of irl friends that are dedicated to m+ and itโs only our second ever season and hit 3k. i know its way easier this season and thereโs some serious levels to this shit. but just very curious how difficult it is to actually make it to 0.1% with coordinated group
currently at 3450 with pugging, playing with a warrior friend
but like stated before
its all about reps
you gotta just keep running dungeons and trying stuff
Yeah thatโs what weโre trying to nail down rn
guys, if i change from SUB to Assa, will i have problems stats wise? running low crit chance right now
high mastery
stuff starts hurting a lot more at the 17-19 range too so you need to be aware of what can and cant kill you
Assa doesnโt care that much about secondaries and thereโs no breakpoints. Youโll be fine
thanks, i will give it a try
Sub is too spammy, i'm old lol
I mean you will have to reach 4k for title (maybe even more).
If you think you can do it go for it
yeah, me too, impossible to PUG as a DPS in this game
I definitely donโt think weโd get it this time around since itโs some of their first ever seasons and only my second. But with a lil more time we want to seriously attempt
Also just worried this season is too easy at 13/14s itโs given us ego ๐
Weโll probably get humbled soon lol
Yeah I think this season will be a bit higher than the previous one unless heal checks are an issue
So like 22 every dungeon and 23 the easy ones or even 24?
I wonder what kind of numbers assa puts out in big keys
When you've got enough time to fully spread and DM a prio target
Check casual he is doing like 200-250 overall
Hello Guys, do we have a spreadsheet or something to know which type of damage by encounters are reduced by the poison?
How is Assassination compared to Subtlety in keys? Iโm quite happy with Sub in mass AoE and full single-target damage, but it really struggles in low target counts, especially on cleave bosses like in WS, SotT, MC, and MT. Is Assassinationโs single-target damage in an M+ build strong enough to feel good in those situations?
For context, Iโve been running +15s and +16s.
awkward
okay well, @autumn shoal there's an easy way to check, if you sort damage taken by source, everything you can hit with a poison is reduced here
"environment" for example, can't poison that
Watch me stop recycling
or like lightblinded vanguard, there's divine hammer, that's not reduced
assassination is really good and being played by the best rogues, sub is just big aoe burst pad
I couldn't have gotten a better answer. That's exactly how I feel!
hello beautiful creatures
where can i find the caustic spatter screenshot
i want to show a dude
on how it works
The circle one from Gally?
yes
thank you kind sir
inc kirabrew positioning flame? ROFL
nah kirabrew is the goat of stacking mobs
the rest of the tanks are the problem
kek
tanks really like making life harder for dps by positioning badly
when lazel gets back from raiding ill put him into caustic spatter lesson
pretty good
to be fair tho
very few tanks are good
its an incredibly punishing role
alot of them copy high end m+ players but fail to realize why said players do said things
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmawjdwakdwamj. i wouldnt say that either
there is a performance anxiety aspect to it. like if group wipes then youre probably gonna get flamed or something.
like i said its an incredibly punishing role
but tbh, tank as a role isnt more punishing than healer or dps on a rotational standpoint
i guess ya in a emotional standpoint
i honestly think we baby tanks in the wrong way, while being overtly critcal of tanks in dumb ways
like alot of people only think a tanks job is to live. so you got turtle tanks that do 0 damage and thus lose aggro or brick timeable keys
but at the same time, community sees a tank not following meta build or make one mistake that may or may not be the tanks fault, its insta flame
the wow community is full of horrible people so that becomes the standard
nobody needs babying people just need to learn to act like human beings and read up on the concept of patience
I mean like, idk when a dps does 0 damage or if a healer doesnโt press their cds
The community doesnโt give them a pass
But when the average tank doesnโt press buttons or cds or ignore tcers and make a completely dogshit build then complain the spec is bad. I feel like the community gives them a pass because โthey still livedโ
To be fair, I donโt think thereโs any situation in s1 where it applies other than Vorasius
And even on Vorasius Iโm not sure
Like that screenshot and explanation is all well and good
But I donโt think people realize how fucking big the boss hit boxes need to be for that secondary check to trigger
Rashanan hitbox is basically the smallest it could ever be
Or Vorasius hitbox
Any smaller than that, and the secondary check simply wonโt trigger
Ok so when like its a normal dungeon mob
its like a circle around our chars and a circle around the mob but its smaller
No way in hell
pretty much
only?
Itโs
Only a circle around the mob
As the first check
Thatโs 99% of situations
If you have some gigabig shit like rashanan/bloodbound/gally/dimmensius/vorasius
Then the secondary check triggers
That secondary check has never applied in any dungeon situation
Mobs arenโt big enough
The only way it triggers is if you are hitting the mob from further away than the caustic range
And for it to actually make a difference where youโre standing
Youโd need to be ~20 yards away
So unless you got like evoker range
Not happening
Would it work on something like 1st boss of the rookery when hes in the middle?
no adds there though
it could also work on rashanan in dawnbreaker I guess but no adds there too
Yeh
Works on p1 rashanan, not p2 though
But yeh, nothing to hit
Like legit just think about standing max range on evoker or devourer
If you can replace that character with your rogue and melee the boss from that spot
Then the secondary check will trigger
Or idk, take the range of throw dagger
Cut it in half
Thanks a lot !
Melee from there, you get secondary check
waaaah tanking is too hard i need to spent 30 hours watching videos to make the perfect route

Hi , what is the recommended 3rd craft for m+ player ? i was going to do a ring but the ring from nexus seem to be bis no ?
I like a ring craft, can โfixโ your stats and gives you room to grab one from the vault still without feeling like you wasted sparks
Guys, what is best build for high keys, is fatebound better then deathstalker or?
Fatebound
Do we play fatebound in both raid and m+?
yes
We are bound by fate
looks like a necklace craft angle for my 3rd craft
BCDM won't track Implacable either, am I doing it wrong?
bugged
Does the blizzard ui track all the buffs we care about, or do we need to use an addon to track things like impacable, caustic splatter and such? I was able to customize it for what subtlety needed, but not sure itโs good enough for Assa?
Is there a reason caustic isnโt just hard assigned to the rogues positioning?
its just designed that way. the damage cleaves off of the mob, it makes sense given the name of the ability
You don't need to track spatter,but also addons can't really track implacable either
!macro
Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
#showtooltip Deathmark
/cast Deathmark
/use 13
I met a tank in a maisara 13
pulled 4 mobs in the beginning
and when i told him pull more he said you don't have the dmg for more what is this shit dps
and kept going like this
This was a Skyreach +14. I see that most ppl got caustic spatter way higher. But I feel like I press envenom quite often to apply it as its the 2nd most damage. Do you got any andvice? ๐
so with L'ura being mostly st (correct me if im wrong) and assass has some of the best boss dmg rn, is there a reason sub is being played instead in the race? is it a cd timing thing or..
Hi, is there a macro to make tricks target tank without clicking on him everytime?
Well best boss damage != best ST damage
The reason assa does so well on boss damage logs is because assa cannot pad, so its doing full ST every boss pretty much
considering the entire execute phase is 2x dmg iirc I am wondering why myself
right i see, ty ty
Other classes can pad, which loses them ST damage but if they really wanted they could not do that and do more ST
My guess is that the add in p1 are still too tight to give up subs damage for it
Speaking of Caustic splatter... I've a question about how it works that i've not found an answer too. Does it spread from Current target. or your own position? Blizz i feel never been consistant in this.
Target
I can only think of this as the reason too, but it still seems crazy to me lol
Ty ty.
But ig the boss also does very high damage so having extra defensive talents from sub is helpful as well
Not sure how long the third phase is though, its probably 2 min or something
So assa doesnt get 2x DM
i was also thinking this could contribute aswell
they playing DS or trickster?
Hi, I have a question why does the simbot do 2 garrotes on pull?
Longer Garrote
You can make it so tricks targets your focus target
And then u focus ur tank
!tricks
Theres an addon tf
can the dot application from CT get parried or did I somehow just miss a paladin sometimes
if your doing it on pull it could be that they are divine shielded
but that cant be parried
as far as I am aware
happened midfight randomly so out of range ig
in aoe situations: after im using my trinkets and pot, do i still have to vanish? the hotfix says, that CT applies the stats to garrote now, but not my main target as i am testing it right now
You shouldn't need to vanish now
im testing it right now on dummy, the damage of garrote does not change on my main target after using trinket / pot and after CT
haven't done tests personally but it shouldn't work like this
maybe when whisp waks up he can shed light
ye would be good - in single target - even when CT should now apply stats, even on the main target - this also still means, we need to reapply garrote as it seems on my testing
shouldnt test that on dummies
ok?
they have more issues and bugs than anything else in the game
wasnt aware of that
just llog a dungeons where you do test things
logs will be way more accurate
Hey! I'm looking for the perfect stats to play an assassin in Mythic+. Do you have any information?
Whatever the robot tells you to wear
Sim dungeon slice top gear and wear what it tells you
Okay, and what options do I put? How many enemies? How long?
thx for information
Youโre welcome. Good luck. I love you.
Love you say it back
love you too 
I love you too my sweetheart
AA
That at peak or after 1st pull is finished?
Impressive either way tbh
do i let improve garrote expire before applying a normal one again?
Yes
im over here questioning if that dps chart wasnt showing dps lol... but man thats quite a pull. what are you 278 ilvl lol?
This is after 1st pull finish
AA 16
274
@balmy condor u think with 10% ct and bleed buffs its gonna be spam ct regardless of cp in beeg pulls again
It wasnt very far behind playing normally iirc
I mean spatter is buffed too
Ye im hoping that offsets it enough
I wonder if i could get away with it on momentum of despair ds...
So will assa be on par with sub in mythic raiding with these buffs?
Should I just wait and see
Is poison bomb pubert finally back
assa is useful on any fight that has a meaningful execute
@balmy condor sorry for the ping king, I just watched your video where you said you played all 3 rogue specs, but you fail to mention the fourth rogue spec, prot warrior. Please be cognizant of this misinformation next time ty
if you are in a guild where it would matter what spec you play you'd likely already know what spec to play on each boss
you can almost definitely just play assa
I'm coming from Sub and looking at the recent sin changes, wondering if I should re-spec for prog
so far ive only played sub on averzian and that was just in case the adds needed more burst
every other fight ive played assa and topped or near topped boss dam
Would bleed build be better after buffs 
How many bleeds aprox do u spread before popping cds first pull AA
i was lowkey wondering the same thing^
sorry for the ping but you cant mention the fourth spec without also taking in consideration the 5th spec, ret paladin
im pretty sure its correct to begin cds as soon as you send your first rupture
and spread after
I seee
Are there any more detailed breakdowns of rotation/cd priority outside of the #assassination-faq ?
oh that starts after cds
well in that clip i did gar gar rupt box dm kb
and then spread bleeds

I just swapped to sin keep forgeting CT is a generator now ๐

all these m+ damage numbers are with Sudden Demise ?
so typically what do your aoe openers look like nooj
double garrote rupture box deathmark kingsbane evenom CT spam orr?
Probably lots of spinning

No
i simmed this a few weeks ago and it wasnt. i dunno if changes recently would invalidate that, but the idea was to maximize the entire duration of the CD's with the full 20% AGI bonus was a bigger benefit. i guess its gonna depend how fast stuffs gonna die. if it survives full dot duration, then waiting until you hit full 20% should be better
so maybe get least 3 CT's in and call it good
maybe there are keys where that would matter
i have yet to do a key where lacking dps was why we missed the timer
facts
Hello guys, so many keys i played now on 13/14 anf im always asking meโฆ..when is FoK better then CT when there are so many mobs? What if rupture is expiring in aoe and i have to refresh and still 8+ mobs? Should i CT or better FoK? ๐ i hope u know what i meanโฆ.under what circumstanced FoK?
1 MOB
all mobs got bleed? - doenst matter how many mobs
If the majority of the mobs are going to die in a few seconds, there's no reason to put bleeds in them
True but often there are bigger inside and u cant force who get bleedโฆso if j want bigger get bleed u have to CT
Just CT when the smaller adds are gone
Or do what most do and spam CT and Envenom, never FoKing
guys during AoE opener, should I cast envenom whenever I get 5CP?
Thats what i askโฆ.in my opinion there is almost no situation whete u fok in bigger pulls
You fok when everything has bleeds, if everything doesnโt have bleeds you ct
is it worth it to CT on the small adds on crown or do they die too quickly and we just FoK/mutilate *the big add?
Iโd argue itโs not worth talenting into CT to begin with
Ty. โบ๏ธ
But like, if you are gonna take ct, then I guess youโre pressing it whenever
Those adds are alive for legit 2 seconds
And then they awkwardly waddle around waiting for an arrow
well, if you got a raid who can position the arrows :D
Yeah but theyโre at 0
Np
Im having to play the palas today will be... fun
Does sudden demise work with crit at all
did somebody manage to track implacable?
no
doesnt seem to be done on the blizzard CDM, so how do we track the 80%?
when do you give up on spreading dots with ct
when there are no mobs left to be dotted
or your bleeds are about to run out on the main target
then you gotta rebleed and back to CT
i use elvui to give a slightly more filtered buff list for myself closer to center view so i can just keep watch for 80 w/o having to look up as far
so its worth slamming ct till everything is dotted up
yeah
!addons
count to 5

coun to 5
or realise that its mostly not important anyway
cus like, you only wanna drop the chain and get energy back when it doesnt result in wasted energy
which most of the time tends to be moments where it drops naturally anyway
you guys run full st or ct/cs on fallen king? D;
cus.....if you can keep slamming envenom, you are doing dmg 
im doing CT+CS and press CTT to dot up the big orbs when they are near the boss
but no hardwapping to them
yeh thats what i thought.
the difference bettwen "full ST" and "having CT+CS" is almost nothing anyway
some weapon poison dmg and thats it 

do we use deadly poison + amplifying + athropic for m+/raid?
deadly amp crippling and either atrophic or numbing
raid is atro usually and m+ numbing
@analog field thanks!
Anyone know 
how should it work with crit
it takes the flat remaining dmg, and if its enough it kills the enemys
well, "is it enough to kill the mob" is gonna vary on crit rate lol, so i understand the question
It works with temporary damage buffs tho no
yeah it should work with those
i mean each tick is calculated by your buffs at the time of the calculation
i guess the question is does it re-evaluate every dot tick, say if all dots dont crit and it doesnt kill it, but half way through the dot, 1/2 of those (so 1/4 so far) crit, and now the rest would kill it even if all non crit, then it dies, or does it simulate crits for remaining ticks
Or does it just ignore crits completely
no it doesnt do that, cus tthat would be some insane calculations it would need to do 24/7 on multiple enemys lol
Yea thats basically my question
it ignores crit completely

but your mastery amplifies the dmg done by your dots
like, thats more calculations on you alone then an entire 20 man raid has at that point

so If you pop pot and trinket etc then sudden demise is buffed
It does also kinda cheat in the sense that ur sudden demise can proc even when u only have 5 seconds of pot left but 30 seconds of bleed
so does it evaluate on dot application, or every dot tick, ie as i said above, say 1/2 of your dots tick 1/2 through the dot duration, and now the remaining all non crits will kill it, or does it only kick in if the initial application will cause it to die?
Tick
tock
but really, are we ever gonna really take it anymore anyways lol
no and also you can't game it. Like popping shiv as we used to do was a damage loss even if it felt like a gain
you know... i should get a build w/ it for mining, that would get rid of those wildlings fast
is it normal we do dogwater damage on adds at first boss voidspire?
so we spam fok and not mutilate on 2target vanguard?
even on a 6 i doubt its better. dungeon slice is already tuned to very low keys anyways and SD is always worse
you don't swap to add
Dj blow my speakers up
