@balmy condor you do give somewhere talents depending on boss fight right? Like a build for dragons/paladin dont you? Or am I mistaking? I cant find it anywhere
was the educational short that i learnt from
driest desert btw
cause it's a mountain
and all the rain just flops on the other side
I don’t think the talents per boss page has been updated in a while
and hits the forest instead
Would recommend stalking warcraftlogs
ocean on one side, rain forest on the other
ty i am now maining my hunter and i watched the avatar trilogy the other day and people call me ari
so i race changed to haranir and now we have neytari
desert in the middle
yes, it's on the raid tips page
and they are updated
idk what lans is on about
isn't that the reason india and its surrounding countries are also so dry
because of the himalayers
Oh they are? My fault king
why doesn't the desert just drink the ocean water, is it stupid?
kinda yeah
I used to refer to them early into the season and saw variations, so I decided to stalk wcl
Killed dragons yesterday with outlaw and now onto paladins, what have you guys played in palas? Looking at logs the three specs seems to be shit lol, i might go assa just for ease since outlaw has a bit more buttons
Ty chief
Do you guys use default talent window or is there an addon which is better and more useful
Do you have any alt?
I’m aiming for 3/9 this week 
we sadly didnt kill it sunday

but on wednesday it should die
Fuck that hurts
we killed the ret pally wayyyy to fast
What were the hp’s
nope sadly, been playing devourer dh but its been left behind for a couple of weeks now
this entire raid tier shows the difference in guilds that have good tanks/healers
and bad ones
im something of a mythic raider myself now
ret and holy pally was dead and the prot pally was left at 2%
Not locked in
Gulp
You got that fs post reset
cant wait to wake up with gaze in my vault
ive never raided and my hunter was like 265 ilvl omegalol
i gained 12 ilvl yesterday
Can’t wait to clock out of work and find gaze at home and gaze in my vault and gaze
And
i did very good mechanics though dw i did madness rescues and everything B)
yeah dont get me wrong the fight is insanely stressful in the sense that your hp is perma low (for example I sat at 7% for 16 seconds on one pull
), but its chill in the sense that there is not much you can do about it as melee so you just dodge some stuff and hit the bosses
I’ll even settle for champ version. I’ll take LFR. I’ll do anything.
you just hope you survive
yeah exactly. you living is entirely out of your hands for the most part
just dodge shit
and if you have the absorb
get the fuck away from the chick that gives it to you
I haven’t even gotten to the hellish bosses and I’m dreading it. I witnessed how poor and agonising it already is on imperator
Ist es over für mich

yeah i dont understand how every single boss gets worse from paladins as melee
well
birb isn't bad
but if youre playing sub
you're playing zdps
I hear nothing about saladbar is it an ok fight
Imperator is the first boss
yeah gl

look forward to dragons ig
Lost my left ball watching us wipe to dispels
I swear healers this tier dont know how to dispell
Probably just a ui thing though but still
I do love that the fight progression is 3 tanking dragons into 6 healing paladins 
Refusal to mouseover dispel + frames being hell this season I reckon
it's definitely a UI thing
theyre dogshit
and it's not healers fault
Yep but they cant adapt
I began the season as a healer, I know some debuff are not shown as magic/poison/disease and they do not trigger bar color change for example, but still....
Kinda tbf
and it breaks every patch
I do think healers have been handed an unfair disadvantage coming into mn
Idk about you guys but am I the only one who actually just used stock blizzard frames with mouseovers to heal?
You can ping yourself dozens of time they just dont react in pugs
I've never healed 
People complain about the default frames and then also every other addon frame
Never could CBA settings up vuhdo, clique was fine but I didn’t want to set all the debuffs up
I'm using Danders Frames, it's pretty good tbh
Thought people were using dander
DF also has built in mouse click spells
And it was serviceable with like 1-2 addons like big debuffs or some pvp addon that showed all your hots on default blizz frame
I get if they’re mistakenly dispelling the same people / not noticing - but saying the frames suck is a little bit of an excuse
It’s either reassuring or scary if that was the only issue leading to my wipes
Honestly i pugged hm chym dozens of time, most of the wipes are related to dispell, either dispell and bumping while soaking, not dispelling on poo, not dispelling at all and dying...
chim m was largely intermission skill issue in pugs
I usually one pump chump hc tho
just normal play style then and yes not using the sudden demise or whatever theyre playing . thanks for confirming.
sudden demise is just for giga padding adds, shit sucks
but np
hi. quick question. Lets say im in a multi target fight and my garrote is about to fall off but my rupture still has 15 seconds. do i refresh garrote and wait for rupture to enter pandemic window before i refresh or do i just refresh them both at the same time. or do i ONLY refresh my bleeds in pandemic windows even for multi target ?
Refresh them as their enter pandemic
Multi target scenario is ST but with CT spam
Every mob will have the same duration of your main target
but i only ct when both bleeds are refreshed right ? or do i garrote ct for time rupture ct for timer ?
You CT to spread
If your main target entered pandemic, just bleed then ct
Just don't overthink it
I have a similar question regarding massive pulls (like the Algeth'ar Academy lashers). Is there a target cap or a point where it's no longer worth it to dot every single add and I should stop spamming Crimson Tempest to prioritize Envenom?
Additionally, regarding cooldowns like Kingsbane or Deathmark: is it better to use them before spreading my bleeds, or should I wait until everything is fully dotted up? In those massive pulls, I feel like if I wait to have every bleed active before popping CDs, the adds are already dying by the time I start my burst.
Hello BTW, im new in the discord 😄
you dont spam CT
you use CT to build to 5+ and then envenom to spend
Pretty sure it worth to spam CT
On very high target count im pretty sure whispyr said it was a gain to spam ct
I mean you "spam" ct on the pull cause you can't bleed everything
it's just frankly too many mobs
you always cast envenom though
don't overcap combo points
that would be trollingh
for the whole deathmark/kb spread thing
if you're playing keys where things will survive long enough
spread before
you get more scent stacks on cds and maybe zoldyck time and whatever
but if you're only doing like +16/+17's
Wait did i misunderstand then lol. Didnt you say on like 15+ target pull it was worth ignoring envenom until everyone was dotted
god no
I mean maybe that was true on beta
but you always want to envenom
is the replacing fok with ct to reappy IB still true then lol
Yeah, I always use CT first and then Envenom with 5+ combo points. My first question was more about energy management—is there ever a point where it's better to spam Fan of Knives instead of CT even if not every mob is dotted yet?
Regarding the second question, I'm currently running +16s, so I was asking specifically for that key level, but I'd like to know how to adjust in lower keys or environments where mobs die even faster.
One more thing: how should I manage the Scent of Blood (Apex) talent while dotting? Should I use CT and Envenom until I hit 5 stacks and then just pool energy, or do I keep spamming them? Also, should I use those 'free' Envenom windows to spread Rupture to other targets instead?
Scent isnt an apex talent
You just CT > envenom 5+cp as long as mobs arent fully dotted up either way
Apex talent more often than not is kinda minor in actual aoe situations, you would want to drop the buff at max stacks if you were to struggle with energy, just as you'd do in ST tho
Okay Ty so much
Is it worth at Mythic dragons, when the orbs are there to spread dots and ignore envenom, when playing demise?
no and please do not play demise
But...damage cheesing...
it's not even cheesing
it's doing less damage overall in an attempt to kill the least important adds
like it's just incorrect, both to parse and to prog
this would never in any universe be better for your group, as Whispyr is saying, its less damage over all, and the orbs do not matter anymore, other classes have better on demand dmg for them
we are cursed to be hitting them dragons, if you wanna be top on meter you gotta play a different class 
Or just play with a team with worse dps players 😛
true
that's an option if you dont want to kill but have high potential parses
Like are footjobs real as a concept?
I'd say the existence of your question would indicate that they are.
footjobs 🤤
Played assass for years as main but have been away for ~8 years and have come back to everyone slagging it off. Like the idea of Deathstalker Assass. Can I make this work in random battlegrounds/low level 2's or Delves and low level mythics? I play fairly casually and am not into raiding or rated arenas etc.
So much of the advice and complaints online seem to be about miniscule percentages and high level end game
Whispyr will give you a better answer but deathstalker to my knowledge sims slightly better in some situations but it's just hard/annoying to use. That may not be the case after some recent updates, though. It is definitely usable, just most people don't like it very much in its current state.
It certainly won't be bad enough to have anybody be like "oh brother, this guy stinks."
everyone one that played assa last expansion can tell you how much they hate it
fucking hate deathstalker
only creates issues
Yeah so after looking at stuff, players in high level m+ are using it for funnel damage mostly because of singular focus... But honestly that's still a big nah from me. Fatebound is just such better QoL.
You can play it there sure. It's worse than fatebound everywhere but if your doing delves and 2s you do you king
Feels like deathstalker was designed for sub, I hated it in TWW and I'm glad fatebound is better
Honeslty it feels to me like it was designed for nobody lol
In the current meta for sure
I was thinking mostly how easy it is to manage the mark on sub because of shadow dance
I just hate it because unless your tank is pretty perfect you're basically doomed to target swap from time to time... which already feels SO bad given amp stacks for 'sin
add a mark to that?
Get me out
Well this is a pretty unanimous "just use fatebound" 😂
It's not a dealbreaker, just sounded more interesting in terms of theme
Poisons + Bleeds + Shadow
It is much more interesting in terms of theme, you're very right.
i liked deathstalker on pure ST, swapping was ass though
Fatebound is and has been dumb... Most of us don't like it either. But between dumb and like actively horrible to use... I know what I'd choose lol.
In vanila I used to spec my rogue around full bleed (back on the OG talent trees) and just run around bleeding and vanishing so thematically thought it may be similar
Even if the theme is cooler, that does not matter at all for rogue since we have no cool animations anyways

I'm sure that looks so cool for the rest of the raid
I'm sure that will go on to be really our defining visual feature in raids
Like "dang it's so cool we have a rogue that is popping those smoke bombs that are so visible to me."
Thanks Blizzard, too cool.
They're probably not even visible to others in raid due to spell settings
I don't really know
Oh no the joke is that they were visible and it annoyed other players so bad they're patching it today
I just think that's hilarious
They add one visual effect to rogue and everyone freaks out so much they remove it immediately
I heard in pvp it was confusing people thinking it was real smokebomb
That's actually tech lol
playing mind games
Either way, you know you're in trouble if you see either smoke bomb on you
Just a shame you have to play as a pirate to play outlaw. Combat being replaced with some gun based nonsense is the worst change I came back to across the entirity of the game.
Welcome to the party, gamer.
my outlaw isnt a pirate but you do you
It's kind of unfortunate because when the change happened many combat fans were deeply unhappy with it, and they remain deeply unhappy with it. Now there is a huge portion of rogue players that love outlaw and if Blizz changed it significantly they would be very, very unhappy... So unfortunately Blizz has painted themselves in a bit of a corner where old combat players are super unhappy, but you can't change it because outlaw players would be super unhappy... So outlaw it is.
Idk what it was before but I like how it is rn
You're pretty much Exhibit A of why it won't change (and I don't mean that in a bad way). Current players are used to outlaw, it's mostly oldheads and returning players that are mad.
outlaw has better direction imo and fulfils a niche that doesnt already exist
like wtf is a combat rogue
Yeah tbf as a man who is a certified unc I actually like outlaw
actually
i think it would be best if outlaw was deleted completely
maybe make a rogue support/tank spec
id like a rogue tank spec so i could tank weeklies easier for friends
season of discovery tank rogue to retail 
I would like a rogue tank as a fourth spec, too. Like a little dodge based spec where your primary defensives are evasion, feint, and cloak of shadows but they just work a little differently.
Naw. Some classes have 4 specs. A fourth damage spec please
A rogue tank where you have actual combo kinda like the monk in fellowship would be pog af
Is someone using ArcUI and figured out how to combine the Implacable icons together? I dont want to waste two slots. Laying them over each other doesnt work as the cooldown swipes both show
can just not track the second
The energy regen buff is not very relevant to track though
it's just the buff from energy regen
Now that we can track implacable properly. What is your approach when you reach 80 stacks outside of your offensive cooldowns?
Let's assume that we're in energy starvation mode and out of Thistle Tea stacks.
Do you just stop using all abilities including generators until it drops off?
Do you still cast generators until you reach 7 CP?
Do you still cast generators even if you're capped at 7CP?
Do you use this time to refresh rupture even if it's still got enough time?
Do you approach M+ AoE pulls differently than Raid ST scenario's given the questions above?
why did i want to track that? 🤔 god i should go back to bed. you are totally right
you generate to 5 and then don't envenom, drop the stacks, then envenom
Guys do you know when they increase timer lets put aa here, depleted for 30 seconds yesterday but tomorrow they are putting timer to 31, will i get rating for it? Bcs they do decrase rating when they put lower timer
probably not
Good to know that it's easy enough to manage, thanks!
You should get it
You managed to do it once, you got the skill to do it twice 🙂
In season 3 tww they did increase raiting tho
after changing timers (or maybe it was bugged?) at the start of the season
I mean if it does then that's pretty crazy
if it doesn't then just run it again
blizzard does a lot of fucked up things
this is kinda the least problematic of them

Ye, but its crazy, progressed 18 aa whole day and depleted like last run for 5 seconds
Good brain damage
Got*
Why is plater not recommended
Ye, i remember
We will see i guess
Is there a sensei resource profile with combo p coloring
Buggy mess, less used by the community, uses more resources, harder to set up
Tyy, is stacking better in platy
they can change cvars that influence the behavior of stacking and overlapping. but you can always change them yourself anyways
Yeah ofc
I mean they can’t do anything unique
They’re sharing the same basic shit
ok, good to know
do you maybe know for combo point coloring what is the best way
I guess I finally uninstall nooka implacable today
"finally" had it like 5 days 
Nah I had it for like 2 weeks
How do u track implacable properly, with colddown manager? Its horriblee
Idk I personally don’t
You just track the buff that stacks
it does seem not bugged all of a sudden
did a 16 wr and it wasn't a meme to reset it
Ye but idk why, sometimes It doent appear xd
(or have you played since the fix) 
Speaking of bugs, anybody else noticed cloak of shadow inconsistency on Supression Zone cast from MT dungeon? I usually cloak and ait in the zone with the mark on me and I can continue attacking the boss if I'm in cooldowns, did a run on Wednesday and cloak did not save me 
Some arcui people were bitching about the hotfix breaking for them
But that’s like bullshit addon idk
Unlucky, for me It isnt
I use base cdm, had to change the buff that was being tracked from the energy buff to the stacking buff
Works perfect
Dunno
Dunno then
Anytime cloak is being "inconsistent" it usually means only the first second of cloak works as an immune
Because for some reason the first second is a true immunity while during the remaining 4 you are mostly immune
says so in the tooltip even
An insane stretch, but kind of yes if you know about it
That would make sense but in 2 cases I noticed I cloaked around 2 sec before the cast went off. Also for some reason, the time I died Suppresion zone was a targeted cast on me.
pretty sure they hot fixed it to not work
i got smote and stopped trying it a while ago
!up
Did a trial run on m0 with my tank and I was able to cloak it, I didn't log that run so I don't remember if it was 1 sec before
There is a very small amount of things cloak straight up doesn't work on, kinda asinine imo
No consistency, so we're supposed to try it out and sometimes get bonked
The chad elusiveness proactive defensive 
I mean, without it do we even have a personal?
feint?
elusiveness only does something on things that feint doesnt work on
most things feint still works against
Cloak of Shadows
true, but there's some places where it's clearly better than cheat death. Like 2nd boss skyreach for the beams
I mean it’s just always better than cheat death if you can preplan cds
Wym ? The reduction from evasion and feint don't stack ?
Oh, I thought the wording meant evasion gave a blanket 20%
you have such faith in us
I should swap out CD for Elusive, I keep forgetting
I honestly forget elusiveness gave evasion something 
Yeah, I thought that was a deathstalker thing lmao
I should read my talents now and then
I mean it’s also a deathstalker thing
I mean I take elusive solely because it turns evasion into a button that actually does something useful
In pve
That’s crazy
evasion is already good on 2nd boss pit and skyreach birds!
You take it for the 2min cd minor dr
In raid I'd probably stick with cheat death
And not the 15s cd?
I mean it's a plus, but I already feint for the dangerous aoe stuff
I imagine in raids there's more targeted damage that warrants CDs than in dungeons this season ?
not playing cheat in raid feels like trolling imo
Yeah you always play cheat in raid
In dungeons you may proc cheat to random shit and then you have -1 talent for the next 6 min
is the new apex cdm tracking symbol just two times the same one with the same description?
I mean if it saves a death and you dont die before it comes back then thats good
I guess a "permission to fuck up once" pass can be useful on certain encounters

I could probably count the amount of fights where elusiveness was good on one hand
At least in the last like 3 expansions
Usually Cheat procs when we're wiping and the RL yells at me to die.
That's why I usually jump off cliffs.
OMG, assa FIXED !!
Elusiveness just kinda
whispyr new video when pls
its like kyveza and nexus king ? any other
Yeah, I'm thinking mostly of situations where tank dies or healer doesn't check debuffs after a pack is over but we still have giga debuffs
and the only reason for elusiveness on those fights is that cheat did nothing 
Yeah
It's time you play a real spec again 😏
even then on nexus king I think playing cheat just for the intermission platforms / p3 was better
I know it was good on shriekwing and sludgefist in nathria cause of the bleed
So that’s 4
Aaaaaaaand……
Can’t think of another fight in shadowlands, don’t think we ran it on anything in Dragonflight…
yessir ❤️ 
Maybe there was something in amirdrassil? But I can’t remember what
Smolderon was all aoe
Tindral was all aoe
cheat is also just way more valuable as a prog tool cause if you fuck up early it allows you to prog further without just having someone dead and probably calling a wipe
True
Was like week 1 gallywix an elusiveness fight
I know later on it wasn’t but I think maybe super early it was used
Some people ran it on dimmy but that felt insane to me
Idk I guess I could scrounge together more than 1 hands worth
cant believe assa is fixed and there isnt a whispyr video
i wanna watch smt plssss
well world first gally didnt use elu 
SL I remember SoD, The Valkyr fight iirc had this big dam soak thingy, with ice gems + feint + elusiveness evasion + properly timed necrolords bubble, I could solosoak that shit without cloak
the amount of times I saw our rogue just have cheat procced on the first soak 
Felt awesome
Okay but you also just cloak it, what else are you doing on that fight
Pretty sure feint + cheat could do that too
Well I could also solosoak it with cloak
Did your 20 man raid have 18 carries
I remember I did 2 per fight
How often are you getting picked
yeah like now with Belo'ren before the rogue benching they used cloak for 1 soak and cheat for the other soak
Yeh
Tbf quite often, most fights at least 1 and often 2
I don’t think elusiveness can save you on belo, that shit cranks
Kinda wierd but just saying "I solo" and hear the RL say "What, again ?" felt good lol
It overkills through most defensives with solo soaks
Tbf it feels like cheat fucking blows these days too. The 85% damage reduction rarely feels like it works
Like youll take one big hit that procs cheat and then a passive piss tick will just finish you off
Or its like 2 hit attack that just kills just straight through cheat
in terms of intangibles maybe its a me tbing but since swapping to elus in keys it helps me lock in more idk. skill issue for sure but helps me try and be more proactive in defensive usage personally
turns out fear of death is good motivation to use defensives
I procrastinated on the clown death addon
Off the back of people's advise earlier just looking at fatebound. So do I actually need to do anything with regards to coin flip procs? Or basically just ignore it like a passive?
fully passive
Thank you, wasn't sure if it was like Outlaws dice where I need to acknowledge what's going on 😂
'member when CD was like
a 90s cooldown
Real
i hate this chat
You’re too young
That’s because it rarely works

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
does gaze over sim or is it just that good? my 250 ilvl one seems to compete with even 289 solarflare prism with it only being a 700 ish damage gain over all
I’m scrolling around the different chats reading all the nerdy stuff and then I walk into whatever is going on in here rn. LMAO
i hit some purple parsing on hc raids last night, feels good
It's cracked
Goat
Orange soon
Pink soon 
I cannot wait to loot a myth track weapon in my vault today
surely mythic gaze this time around for me
I forgor yanks get vault today
well you can always bonus roll POS if you dont get it, POS is like almost all wins lol
Yeah I’m in POS prison
I got belt (during the bug) and then legs after. Blizzard still hasn’t given me my extra roll back
Free me from having to pug chim this week
the refunds are done so they must have missed you but you arent only case ive heard of ppl not getting refunded who say they did some first day
Yeah….
lol if they mess up and give ppl who got their refunds another one
well pit is where my 2 bugged rolls went but i got everything critical from pit so i never need to spend there again.
They should've just blanket gave everyone 2 extra
I unfortunately still have a champ track offhand lol
oh yeah def send both yours on pit to get kricks then, as it is the BIS mainhand
I need neck and weapon still
At least I think that neck is good for us I’m a sub transplant
yeah, and necks best if you dont think youll ever get mythic saladbar
Mine is hate vers because it’s the only neck I’ve looted the entire expansion
i suspect pugging first 3 VOS will be doable but question is when. so im glad i got the neck for now
A lot of these pugs I think are playing with broken monitors
but i am joining up with an AOTC raiding guild so maybe well get into mythic too
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jJ8CabsNaW9Azgjn9nMNu2 is what i have left, ignore belt i have that but just not upgraded so im still using my hero socketed one.
I’m 278 with that OH at 263 I wonder if a 289 will sneak me into the 280s
yes, thats about what happened to me lol
got my mh and big jump there, and i even had hero offhand
if i get PB in vault ill prob need to use bonus rolls on seat to have best chances at the 5 set pieces.
well there's 16 items, so going up 26 ilvl on one single item means you'd gain 1.625 avg ilvl, so unless you're currently at 278.4, you wouldn't make it to 280
first boss drops a helm and 2nd boss drops tier token for gloves and they are very puggable
i basically need myth gaze or myth jewelry in my vault or i should just be taking tokens for bonus rolls
I knew someone would come up with this
ye its myth gaze or shoulders in the raid row or then rings for me
yeah with this roll system, really only gonna take a vault item if its a BIS item
we are extending paladins, but atleast they drop shoulders 
oh ye gz on the kill
im gonna try for myth chim this week in pug too
I think an argument could still be made to pick a 279/282 item just to save crests, since I think most people are locked behind myth crests and not myth track gear
idk anything bro
fighting with the tank 
well thats if you are raiding myth sure lol. that isnt me 😛
i just found out my "overnight" shipping for my car parts is actually overnight for tomorrow so i paid extra for normal 2 day shipping
and then on add damage with the other freak specs

I am gonna end up vaulting gaze on my alts before rogue I already know it
got it on DK last week and feel like warr/dh will roll it tomorrow..
i did pretty average overall on alleria but good boss dam
so im happy
didnt play sub

staying sin for beloran?
i guess pugging chim and first boss VS to keep loot pool smaller would be best odds to try that 1 vault slot on trinket lol?
ethical mage not playing arcane
yea sin unless i get asked to swap
I did that to get guidon thought it was HC because I don’t have a raid team
I was checking egg dmg between the logs on 12.0 vs sub and theyre pretty similar from what I saw was thinking of staying same
nope no logs
yeah only from 12.0
shits fugged
or nvm there are on 12.0
it kind of evens out, as long as you kill either 2, 4 or 6 bosses
I mean just logically assa cant be that bad for the egg
its like 210k egg phase vs like 225ish or 230 idk
no the problem with the egg phase is you dont start with cds up unless you hold and holding is cursed
if you use only KB on pull you get full burst on eggs no?
thats what i always did on hc belo
yea but you need to meet the dps check for p1
but i guess myths another ballgame
can't just let the bird live forever and get more soaks
about yea
even if you send on pull you should get a full cd set no?
it was sloppy last night bc first prog night
deathmark on pull first GCD 
and we didnt do heroic moqd as a guild
like even if u dont have cds just as egg starts that shouldnt be that big of a deal
gives you time to get your shit up tbh
how long is egg phase usually? if its > 30s still getting full cd period?
its 30s
i guess it shouldn't matter, it just feels bad to not be ready to blast as the egg appears
i think you have to hold vanish on pull so you can get full imp gar during the egg
but that is based on if the p1 is strictly right around 2 mins though right.
if you burn it even faster, screwed
I mean even then you can just do the quick opener
and skip envenom
its nexus king all over again 
but yeah holding vanish sounds very correct cause it covers the show thing
is there a particular reason the guilds lust first egg phase instead of 2nd, everyones cds even shammy should be back up for execute one no?
and then in 2nd burn is where you really shine
What encounters are better for assa vs sub typically?
all are sin for me, i dont do sub lol. dont have any gear for it
but really from what ive seen in heroic ive not felt any reason why id try sub for it. adds are plenty handled by others
i feel like if groups struggling on ads, its not me being sin the problem
Are mythic and heroic crest caps ever going away?
ye, same here, we have so much add dmg in the groupd, ads are melting in 2 sec
someone suggested it may be waiting until the top 100 or w/e for MOQD finishes
They usually go away at some point
i only have boots left to upgrade on hero which ill have done this week.
may do that quick on my rogue then get the discounted hero achieve for my priest
Hey guys, im new to assa. How should our damage breakdown look like optimally? Atm my main damage is garrote, followed by rupture, followed by envenom.
TY!
Idk sub with all its cringe stuff can omega crank on the egg
Guys i just swaped to sin from sub. Where can i find talents for m+, raid etc and stuff like that?
Pins and also wowhead
Tyvm
do we have any gigablaster assassination players here like zac for outlaw?
no, assa players all suck
We’re all washed 32 year old dads
Real
hey hey speak for yourself i am only 29 🙁
That’s practically 40
Where vaults
What tool is that?
tyvm
My buddy was telling me you can trade tokens of merit for a extra re roll each week is this true and if so where do i trade them?
At the vendor right by the vault
If you have done the initial voidforge quests, the npc where you trade your tokens of merit will sell them
ty!
mythic beetle stabber that's a good hit
vaults are ready?
Yes
well brb lol
My weapon was in there and I’m excited
thought you was choosing ring since thats what you had hilighted lol.
heres hoping for PB
what the hell is this nonsense
really fucking wants me to have gloves huh
Are we live
I definitely took dagger
I’m going to extra roll in AA now
Does garrote and rupture stay doubled after death mark ends
No
Does kings blade get doubled? During mark
Big
I just had a guildie check that I looted the right item and I did take dagger lol
Is there an easy way to see what is on the loot table for your bonus rolls?
click on raids or mythic+ dungeons https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/droptimizer
also in the dungeon journal in game where you can select a raid or dungeon and filter by class and loot spec and also shows a list when the bonus roll is actually active
theres also this site now too https://voidcoreplanner.pages.dev/

Holy moly
I’m sorry
I could be logging in to open gv rn
HOLY SHIT THEY FIXED IT

yes i just came home and dont have discord on my phone, leave me alone
do i just take the extra bonus roll at this point?
do you have a mythic tier chest?
hero
if no i would personally take that one tbh
alright
or the ring if it sims good for you and you dont have a good other ring on mythic level
chest sims higher than ring for me
if u are bonus looting chim, tier token is in bonus loot table
oh true
im delaying my sadness
AHAHAH
f

did you have myth chest?
No, however I'm bonus looting chim this week
well 1 bonus core wont help for chim, id take that chest, nice to have a tertiary
well
Leaving it unpicked till I clear chim
molten core? timewalking raid?
I have 2/3 good odds on bonus loot: chest and gaze
i hope i get a chest with avoidance too lol
chest head and PB would be my golden rolls
also i noticed the voidcores thing says /4 now. it looks like its depleting... i wonder if were only gonna get 3 weeks of it.
oh wait nvm, im dumb
thats season allowance of cores
as i just noted it was 2/4 before i picked them up on alt.
Why are people talking about this, is it good?

The embel that we craft on our weapon, can that go on a ring?
No it’s the bad trinket from the first boss
Well first
Being dreamrift
i just had the funniest
interaction with a shaman in a key
xDDD
me and guildie were doing nexus, he died by accident before 2nd boss - and he asked sham for buff
we kept spamming him for the next 10 minutes, somehow he didnt see any of our text like it was insane
i was just laughing cause he didnt get the buff
the guy even did like a
./thank you at the end


issokay bro
I thought someone was going to say it was good in keys because of the split damage or something
you didnt include %'s in your msgs did you lol. as thatll kill a chat msg in an instance for anyone using chat addons.
whats the best gold farming method rn?
boosting raid content
IRL job and wow tokens
or that
bruh
nah but unironically
it isnt
anything else is a huge timesink/waste
i just want do professions
if you didnt start it at start of expac, you arent gonna make any money by now
I'm a cat
so, now its useless to try farm gold
yeah its so depressing mining crashed so hard. I got like 25k/hr and im stacked on gear/specialization and used flasks
it always will tho
yeah i was making like >100k/hr before on mining
me vibing with enchanting and making bank trought weapon enchants like always

imagine going full druid bot with herb and mining lmao
ah yes that 1k gold profit margin at best lol
mfs doing the work that automated bots do
DID SOMEBODY SAY
what about blacksmith?

I do enchanting also, barely anything there
are you buying r2 materials or smth
I almost made bank on alchemy this weekend until some dumbass ruined it for everyone in seconds
oh oops i have to actually like
so enchanting and what 2nd prof i should use
grab the voidcores before i raid
its professions, whatever you like
i do blacksmith cus i did it since forever
mining + balcksmith is good?
? r2 shards and dust is same price as r1 lol. and no thats r1 crystals. i was making acuity but thats crashed, now the perception tool enchants are top profit at 1k.
unless you got some rare recipe i dont have
i dont know if i wanna make a 2nd enchanting purple, or a mining purple, enchanting feels maybe better in long run, as mining continues to crash
nah, just weapon and chest enchants and have decent resourcefullness
aka
how you make money with enchanting since DF
grab that resourcefull on gear, put resource enchants on your rod, put points into shatter and resourcefullness
craft a enchant with concentration+shatter active and get like 60% of the materials back

i think resourceful is prob the one im now working on for shatter tree. i did multicraft aiming for the damn weapon oils but now i feel that was dumb though i havent tried to see if i can mass produce those at profit.
so, now I should better do enchanting?
bro its professions
if you are just getting started now, im not sure what to suggest lol. you would need the kn owledge everyones gotten from the start
they exist to make gold if you put time into them, pick what you want
if you want simpler quicker profits, get alchemy and specialize in potions. its the best easy profit margin ive got out of my professions.
flasks you gotta go heavy into spec for to profit off of, but i htink im there now. i have 2 purple gear, all flask talents maxed. i turned 140 lotus into 450 flasks over weekend during the major flask fiasco, man that would have been like 100k profit if someone hadnt ruined it.
haste flasks were break even on saturday, but someone dropped the price by 200g and killed it
unless you like to gamble on lotus resourcefulness procs 
True but not taking engineering on a character you're going to main is a tragedy
Too many funny toys/wormhole generators+jeeves
Alchemy/Engineering is kinda nice on main
I orig was gonna do alchemy for flasks duration but someone incorrectly told me that enchanting had a perk that made enchanting its own gear stronger than what you buy off AH so i thought id stick with enchanting for a combat bonus perk... boy was he wrong lol.
Yeah
Are there any comps for high m+ with ret and rogue together? Have yet to see one and trying to work a comp with a friend but it feels weird since we kill prio mobs too fast even in 17-18s and waste KB
There's some truth in that. If you do a lot of content, you will get plenty of epics to disenchant
There's always some idiot who doesn't understand undercutting, and more mouthbreathers who post without checking
idk why people always say that and then never use the engineering stuff anyway
like, what do you use really
It's so annoying
jeeves? auto hammers are free anyway and how often do you need those lol
i read most the engineering stuff is broken for this expac atm?
I use jeeves when I'm in closed no mount areas and need to repair, and I use wh generators for funny
They are pointless but it's whimsy per hour
Engineering is not really needed this expac
you can buy auto hammers w/o engineering though and only 100g~
Since jumper cables work even if you don't have engineering
oh they do? guess i need to get some
ohh wait didnt i hear they dont battle res anymore?
Also most importantly, making your own swapblaster if you still don't have one
I still use the wormholes quite a lot
the engineering brez item is usable by everyone
Emwrgency soul link
I love swapblasting in raid so much
Terrorist
doesn't need engineering to use but man it's fun
not alot of spots to do it this raid
except the bridge to dragons
Swapblast doesn't need to mean death, minor inconvenience is still joy
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Gotta learn to swapblaster people into aggroing adds before the tank pulls trash between bosses
Is there a reason why we done use the rings for Nexus Point?
simsimsimsimsim some peoples gears make it so it does work out
crit ring is fine tho
yeah void ring is pretty much equiv to the raid rings
cant really go wrong with that one
erm
so i have both bindings + essence of the firelord
but theres no enchanted elementium bar on AH
🙂
isnt that like attuning quest, that shit sounds vaguely familiar
but fuck its been 20 years since i did that lol
its for thunderfury
can u explain that in the war within terms
AH has 0 stock of item they need
or, go make enchanted elementium bar and sell it to anakin for 2 million
i assume you are doing it for tmog?
yes
blud really wants his 1 polygon 2004 sword
tbf modern items is just 5 polygons
yeah i mean thunderfury the nice thing about rogue
is we have an hd version
in multiple colors
in trying out assa for the first time, the energy starve is a real problem for me. Any tips on pure single target where defensives are needed? Say second boss in Skyreach. Energy feels beyond awful (i'm at like 23% haste)
coming back to this game from FF14 was such a downgrade in customization
thats intended
slow down a bit, let the apex flow. pool energy when cds are returning.
Is 23% haste low? Feint legit feels like a rotation breaker all of a sudden
either get Nooka Implacable or put Implac on your CDM to track when its at 80 then stop envenom and just refresh dots to let it drop off and give energy burst
I am
23 is probably high
oh really
no thats not low pretty sure thats more than what I have, you're gonna never 'solve' the starve periods.
I have like, maybe 15% as assa
you will end up around 15-18
I think im like 18%
ew, yall are gods, my word
why does being in group 1 matter for chim parsing
Assa doesn’t really need the haste as much
crit is helping a lot with energy management
you're supposed to have downtime
Two blindside procs and you’re overcapping
as rogue

thats just the point
thought you said no one was selling it
It's more so the degree to which we have to as sin that's tripping me up. Still learning of course
? i thought that hurt you lol. i feel like can never get CD's on good timing in first soak.
soak comes up before you can finish your CD
@golden loom what’s the deal with chim groups
real art is having enough downtime
to change the spotify playlist
in between muts
as the warrior in my old guild once said
"why press many button when one button do good"
AHAHAH
playing the wrong spec to feel the speed
Outlaw: the road from joy to RSI
i've played 2-3 entire seasons as outlaw
and never felt strain
maybe posture issue

It's more a joke but yeah 
You'd probably have to be doing it for like 5 years to get an issue
Or be already old
Maybe you’re just a genetic freak
Ever think of that
True, actually
how should i be simming my character?
Wdym
general raid and ill do another sim for m+
raid ST you do patchwork 1 target 5 mins
dungeonslice for m+
thanks
i recommend having raid buffs on for raid sim but off for DS sim since they arent guaranteed there
Very much this
Btw, remember dungeon overall dps depends mostly on the dungeon and your pulls
So dont expect to hit the same damage as the sims
yeah i can hit 140-150k on POS but others only 100k (on 10 keys)
If the tank is pulling 3 adds at a time you'll never hit over 100k dps
A bit off topic but does anyone have something like a table/spreadsheet that shows updated values for one button rotation and assisted highlight for dps specs?
Trying to help a friend with some accesibility issues and im trying to see if those are even viable
are there any other classes that are benefiting from the sharpening stones over thal oil or is it just rogues?
hunter aslo i think
wowhead does list the penalty but i dunno if you are asking if thats out of date or not.
err wrong reply, the one below that lol
Yeah i saw it there but las update was like mid 2025
Trying to learn the interactions here. Through what means? Seal fate?
Talent that regens energy when (poisons or bleed i dont remember rn) crits
It should be higher 
yes seal fate and deal fate
also fok and CT give cp for every crit
if you need one builder for one spender you will reach 5 stacks faster so you will be full of energy
Like it was in tww s3
where we had huge amounts of crit and you muti envenom
mutilate also counts as 2 dagger attacks which can each both crit
here you go, https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9wEV38gTx6w5fm8noPaDLF if one only uses 1 button DPS and never does anything different.
but yeah mut costs a lot and finishers don't so crit makes you way more energy efficient
oh you can sim that?
yep
Gotcha. Didn't play then. I will say, it's an edge case for me. It's single target in an m+ build. I have no issues in pure st builds. I don't understand how pooling on 80 stacks is enough in keys. Edit: Feels as if I'm missing something
that is crazy, thank you
copy="One Button"
use_blizzard_action_list=1
one_button_mode=1
will try that out later
in Advanced
sick, thanks
yeah i had to spam run POS to get that neck
lol was it reeally wrong though? still feels sin related
Ive ran pit I think 12 times and I’ve looted 2 items.
first time i think ive ever chosen the coins in vault
and im prob gonna do it for priest too.
I'd assume that more damage on adds = higher overall damage, since g1 goes two times and g2 only once, plus timer allowing cting your imp garrote from boss to the blobs and carrying that over to the big guy
Idk 
Had one pug where the tank for the final soak stood so close to the edge that the boss fell off the map and reset
Or wait do you mean going down first or second? 
every lorrgs parse had dm/kb on boss for chimaerus last i looked
he asked why is going on g1 important for parsing
Ohh
oh you mean the extra group, i see
bros does sudden demise factor in internal bleeding or still rupture garrote only? asking for a friend aha
G1 has the easy imp garrote carry over as you mentioned + other people have just blown cds onto boss in the opener (so the adds should live a while), uh but otherwise I cant remember it just felt better for some reason
its just like more spattering = more overall basically
any bugs with vaults this week or reason not to open?
ive been declined 47 times to 10 and 11 AA's in the last 15 minutes, at 281, 3420

tuesday roll day is real real
ive watched like 8 groups take outlaw rogues over me 🙁
i honestly forgot outlaw was a spec until today
the fact that there is a gap between the Implacable icons and everything else on the base blizzard CDM is going to mess with me
I mean you did "Need" it
Instead you got goop
im a greedy fatfuck
Based
The rogue chungus life
Bro i needed 1 dung for vault last night
Posted with my healer to a group that said "quick 10 for vault" and was missing a dps and a healer
The motherfucker stalled us for 4 minutes and then declined

Want to know my trick?
I spec to either sub or outlaw and swap spec after they invite me

We are even tied with outlaw on A tier for mythic plus on archon
I haven't done that since bfa
Why tf would they decline
I had something extremely funny happen last night doing my last vault keys
Vanishing/melding for imp gar and just applying them to targets under 35% killing them so I couldn't spread them
Were you running for the forbidden bleed build
wanna do keys rn
is there any min max optimization with implacable buff
You can actually do keys while doing chores and food
Get a Wireless controller, sone steam VR headset, and thrive
will totally work

pool/don't envenom once you hit 80 stacks until it drops (assuming you need the energy)
how many seconds should mobs in m+ live to be worth dotting
What is the forbidden bleed build? I need to keep up with MM in 10s
#assassination-faq , there's a section about bleeds
it's on wowhead if you go to M+ builds and click the weekly keys tab
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
sub is better than assass cuz potent powder is pp
Sry bud
Probably only have time for one as it is
I just finished sorting the recycling so I can do one key before I eat
Switching back to Assa after some time. We are not tracking Implacc on BL Pull right?
yeah in BL you just send and overcap implac
you'll have trouble not capping energy if you don't full send anyway during BL
can we track implac now?
oki thx
The worst part of our class is the acronym for combo points
More cp
The more cp you have the better
gets banned
It's morbidly hilarious how many games this happens in
ESO champion points as another example
HANK
cod points

I dont use the acronym
With discord how it is nowadays you might actually get banned

bro fr
We're back!
missed u guys
!up
Blizzard fix the damn discord server reeeee
why did you kill discord
holy moly, discord getting nuked
Ravenholdt discord shut down until they buff Atrophic? So we are buffed now right?
do we want mastery over haste for m+?
I thought I got banned 😂
how important is it that my crafted pieces are my dagger and bracers? i just hit a 2nd myth dagger with avoidance in my vault, and im wondering if its better to swap my craft to a different piece, so that i can run 2 myth daggers
I think you just sim it but it’s likely not a big upgrade depending on what other slots you need
