ah yes, the classic deathstalker mini game of "press shiv at 6cp if you have darkest night, when in cleave and st"
my favorite
it's not even a dry shiv
it's just for the fucking cheap cp
it's so insanely cringe
Bring back stepsis gaming
you know you're in assassination channel
when we're advocating for bringing things back
that were bitched and moaned and complained about every day for months if not years like a fucking plague spreading its brainworms to every user in the discord server
bring back restealthing
so true
2 charges of vanish it was the best feeling
but I was here every day complaining about tanks
Exsang 
Bring back sepsis as a AoE CD, instead of ST and it applies nature* dmg taken to all targets, which would be perfect for a DM sepsis kb scenario
EXSANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
BRING BACK EXSANG
AND SBS WITH LEGENDARY EFFECT
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
we bring back exsang, sub and outlaw have haste breakpoints, assa gets back snapshotting
I wake up
it's 2008 again
time to go to school
life is good
Linkin park in the back
buddy if I was a time traveler, I would've told my younger self to not join a world of warcraft discord server
which would've created a time paradox and ripped the fabric of spacetime apart
2 charges was great for like the first 2 chainpulls in a dungeon, it doesnt add as much uptime as u think it does unfortunately
but we had a great time
before you got famous
which was a different decision
I'm famous?
sure
since when
magot robert got nothing on me

damn shame
maggot robert is just weak
!ban @native condor spam
tbf I was trolling but aside that I never had problem with restealths at all
TROLLING?
IN MY DISCORD?
I ask for forgiveness
That’s how religion works too, you get a pass
Why ask for permission when you can just do some bullshit and ask for forgiveness afterwards
just start selling letters of indulgence
make it a business
True
but would u have listened to urself

I'd listen to everyone with a monster fridge
as long as they are full of the ultra ones
bro the peach flavor be hittin
God no I don’t listen to idiots
it's like an arnold palmer with caffeine

really just wanted to say how assa is satisfying to play sometimes, defensive CDs is so great especially after randombulshitgo feral things
only 2 things I don't like is vial 4 sec to heal and no ability to skip skyreach wind puzzle
with the changes coming tomorrow which rogue spec would be the best for M+ in trying to hit 3400io?
Fatebound sprint you can just run through that shit tho
Any rogue spec can hit 3.4 play what you enjoy most
do you mean March?
sub is probably a touch easier to play
Nah even with double step I just sprint and run through the winds
but doesn't matter really
But you can run the march thingy specifically for skyreach I guess
if you have a tank doing low target count sin is better but baller tanks make sub go off
still you need to run first half, I tried to tp from first stairs and can't do that
nope there's a line up on the staircase out of boss
you just wait on the start to be hit by the wind
and shadowstep
every spec does the same
just be jumpin like a lock gate skip and blink
but it doesn't matter
but you need streak here
like what ? save 10 sec or ?
10 seconds is 10 seconds
just be on the edge of the staircase that's a ramp
yeah but it is 10 but you don't lose 10
cause you need to cast the thing
so if you were there and helped you would save like 3?
inability to do mechanic alone
because if guys fails for whatever reason
you need to run
it's not a problem overall, just siad what I don't like
for no reason
it is one of these things where if you do perfectly you save like 3-5 sec
and if you fail and 3 of you die you lose 45 or something
there a lor of classes that can do that easily really
I guess even outlaw can do that
outlaw can yes but many can't also
and many try to cheese and die
which is way worse than just sprinting
just practice
i pugged a 15 +3 skyreach
if you are doing 22's you need to
no one is practicing this in 17's or something
they just do it and some achieve it and some don't
Watch k1llatvv's clip titled "apo olous tous tropous na pethanei (ingame) kapoios"
you end up doing such things
instead of just running
i had a death knight in a 16 yesterday and a ret which i think has a ranged kick completely ignore that one caster in maisara where you get the first hex guardian on the yoda route
actually gave me double depression
If I want to craft a ring, which embellishment to choose? Seems like Arcanoweave Lining is no-go for ring
you dont need to put an embellishment on it
if you don't have 2 crafted pieces and bis pants which is our non tier slot this season
you could embell a ring but idk why you would
Had a wrist mythic bis stat drop so I was thinking off replacing my crafted wrist with a ring
(my current craffted wrist is ilvl 259)
you can get the rings out of nexus point which are about as good as the stuff out of raid that everyone wants
what about a belt?
true, only got a HC belt. is that better to craft then ring?
sim it
i simmed cloak ring and neck a few ago and they're all like within .2 of each other
ok thanks

oh thank
you can keep the wrist until you got the crest to upgrade it to mythic, use myth wrist until then, or craft cloak instead with arcanoweave
belt is easy to get from pit of saron as youll be doing bonus rolls there anyways
thanks
we have lots of good ring choices so i regret crafiting my ring as i dont use it now lol
If you tricks the tank does it last the whole hour it shows or I have to reapply it when the ticker falls off
it lasts only like 6s after your first combat spell
so yes you gotta do it every pull
get TanksMD addon and put that macro button on your stealth bar too
1hr tricks is only for trickster specs
so if I do dps close to what I sim, why do I parse so poorly?
because sims arent meant to show your actual dps in fights
and parses have nothing to do with sims
in real raid you may have stuff like 20 people all using arcanoweave lining giving lots of team buff going on. adds padding dps that wasnt there in a sim.
Fight familiarity is a big factor
Ahh so tricker specs don’t have to reapply it?
depends on a lot of things outside of your control, everything else could be seen in a log review
First week on chimmy I sent death mark and kingsbane right before transition 
on chim do yall try to get some more hits in before pulling off to the ads? timing wise its like cds are always happening right as soak happens. but gotta be quick if want to try to CT the imp gar to an ad
play correctly, have better gear, and have a good fight strategy for each boss
you should do this but you can get a full CD set on the boss properly before he transitions
first or second add group?
first
I did not, I got 3 globals. Was a feelsbad
on mythic chim, for first add group, you want to be taking the gate as you go so its not really about getting some hits in
my strategy is to omit the first envenom on pull, use cooldowns on boss, vanish close to soak time, so that there is enough time to refresh imp gar on boss + double imp gar the big add after gate + shadowstep
I think thats optimal opener
oh my group didnt use a gate, is a pug, but we didnt have issues with dieing in soak 1, it was soak 2 ppl were struggling with to get sep
should still be possible
so you cd like 2s before pull vanish then hit as much as you can?
on pull for mythic chim im doing garrote, build, rupture, puzzlebox, DM, Kb
rather than building an entire envenom before the first DM KB
yeh i havent been doing env first either but man still always getting in soak before full cd/kb is usedd
you dont get to use your entire DM KB on the boss on pull if you are add group 1, so this way you get about 3 more globals in CDS on the boss and more time to stack KB
sending it on chim before intermission helps with doing the solo tank in the last down phase
it's worth if everyone cranks
i then step when soak knocks up to get down faster and hit some more
if your wanting to parse or go for rank 1, you are going to be wanting to imp gar the adds, theres not much way around it, consider shadowstepping to an ally and then to the big add in line with the strategy i mentioned before if theres no gate
in the first set, of course
i fucking HATE parsing
right it's like not even like turbo boost hours yet
at least its ethical on assa 
well not trying to bring parse % at sacrifice to total usefulness, just making sure maximizing effectiveness for the kill
That sounds hilarious, honestly
i fucking LOVE you
it was cooked but I put us here for dragons on max lmfao
i tried pug myth chim this weekend, didnt get far, but dont feel like i messed up, just i think tanks were struggling on getting group 2 down w/o overlap
The toughest thing is the interrupts
Thats hilarious
its kinda fine actually
the hardest part is about dps players and their interrupts
luckily we are super good at the intermission adds but the ranged kicks can be a problem
yeah if everything went as smooth in our group 2 as our group 1 it prob would have been better, but as it goes ppl quit each wipe
We had one purple parse in our raid (me) and were still doing the send one tank down after one intermission strat so, the dmg in your pug had to be terrible
The interrupts are just tight. Even with backups it takes a few pulls. People gotta use their cc too
what do you mean by "solo tank" in last phase. theres a case where both tanks go down and no ones tanking up top?
nobody else goes down for the last group
Only if you can burn it before it consumes everything though right
Yeah
ah interesting
you have a lot of time tho
from when the soak happens to when consume starts
it prob 45 seconds if not a minute
Feel like it’s gotta be under 10% maybe
yeah plus it cant consume them when they are in a diff phase, so they stay there for the full duration
even if the tank dies
you can do it at like 40% boss hp
Really
yea we dont do any more down phases after intermission
yep thats the play
Do you hold lust?
No
as a guild who has been clearing it every week for multiple weeks
can't speak to pugs
pugs prob can't do it
pugs can barely kill chim in any capacity
On mythic right?
yes mythic
So CT will still spread poisons even if I’m not targeting my initial target?
Dam that’s crazy
correct
CT isnt about targetting anything
it spreads bleeds if it hits a target with a bleed, and a target without a bleed
it spreads the highest bleed of the ones hit
CT like other abilities also can apply poison
everything you do that does dmg spreads poisons
I meant bleed my bad but I’m guessing it’s the same
yep
Its got a really nice range too, handy when you TOT on a tank and they are pulling one pack to the next, you can dot up the first pack and just spread it onto the 2nd/3rd etc
How many times do you normally have to press ct for it to get everything
well ct spread poisons to everything you hit but only spreads bleeds to 2 targets
but how to play correctly
It also generates a fuck tonne of CP, so make sure you are able to funnel them into your prio target
Has anyone checked if crimson tempests animation is crimson or not 
It is a very healthy shade of BLOOD clour
I normally play sub and tried assa tonight on vanguard
So you're saying it's more carmine
Fucked it royally
its a little difficult to say without being asked a specific question on how to play a certain part or how to use an ability properly. generally take the most efficient action for each global you cast? if your begining with assa I would suggest the guide and playing it and then asking questions about something specific if that makes sense
they look like lil fishes
Atleast in theory, im always so confused whenever a mob only has my garrote on it and not the rupture
How does that even work man
real 
they dodged the garrote
the mob has no neck, so you cant garrote it, only rupture it
Our lil pet dagger fishies swimming in the pond

They are like baby sword fish
Ohh I can transmog my floppy fish weapons on to daggers now too

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
anyone can give a tricks macro plesae ❤️
!tricks
In 17+ sin is pulling ahead of sub right?
Do i have to put settings for the trick thing to work?
interesting statistic https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/47?sample=7&bracket=16
Yes you have to make a macro
what is the macro then
When I started doing 15s I swapped to sin and my damage has improved
It’s in the link to the addon homie
Either a macro or keybind it
I use this option, but tank should be lead
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/cast [@party1,help,nodead] Tricks of the Trade
This doesnt always work
Sometimes itll tricks the party lead
Tank md is goated
get TanksMD addon it works great
My b, reading comprehension bad
I want a shadow step macro that can read my mind
Instead of occasionally stepping to the wrong target
it's stooper useful
im gonna try /cleartarget and /targetlasttarget in my focus macro to see i can get it to stop grabbing the wrong guy
also i think there's a way to make it only target hostile enemies?
tbh blizzard should make it autodetected
but thx
not sometimes, but always lol
In theory, could you make a focus macro that targets all the annoying casters in all dungeons if you were super lazy? Obviously it would have flaws a mile long, but could it be possible?
Just for going to a new pack and quickly grabbing something
go find one of those pvp coders who writes auto kick scripts
Its been my experience that the more i try to automate shit, the more i experience the use cases where the rigidity bites me in the ass lmao
Tricky bit is pugging when you all think "Yeah that arcanist cadaver is going to get ignored" So then everyone has the same thought and there's no kicks left for the other bois
Y’all don’t tricks the evoker?
yeah im also putting a marker syntax in my focus macro
How do you add a marker bit into your focus macro?
I miss the old WA's that did that.
i was actually looking at the idea of macro target for all the common prio targets too, as like those ymirs can be annoying to click target on the back of the dragon
why
not for kicks but just ease of getting on prio target in big pulls
you just click the nameplate
nameplates jiggle
do you not have stacking?
I do, but they dont jiggle idk
quazi deleted his plater setup guide and finding a good spot to fuss with it is a pain
horizontal stacking in the advanced tab doesn't seem to do anything?
Hey guys. Hope yall are doing good. Quick question about the puzzle box. Better to use before combat or during? Thanks in advance.
I updated mine (Platy) this weekend https://gist.github.com/aikar/af8ebb503ebf3a210c453a9ac056f172
i couldnt bleed for the screenshot though as i was in low lvl dungeon for testing lol, but they are on the left of the bar
need to get me a new screen while in a real key to update that
you want to apply dots to main target, maybe even spread with 1/2 CT based on situation
after that box-deathmark-kingsbane
Thank you guys. Appreciate you
@grim jay ^ but you can see ultimately part of my issue is i deprio focus non casters/target to be smaller so that makes it a bit harder to find it in there
why pot before box?
raw agi ups the bleed damage while you're casting puzzle
if you puzzle > pot then those ticks while you're channeling are weaker
yeah i was playing with some apl sims and it acually put DM before PB also was a dmg increase too, prob for same reasons
its literally giga nerd shiet
I expect to have another round of dots usually
I mean usually you don't spread a lot before box
yeah your plates are really small and look kinda cluttered
comparatively
and wasting pot on those two seconds sounds strange
well member we're prio damage
you will start spreading after box
man thats way less cluttered than anyone elses lol. its pretty minimalist plates
just spread bleeds after kb envenom
so more uptime of pot on higher amount of dots
idk why you'd ct while box is rolling without big hit on your prio target sent
sims actually do show having some bleeds spread first will be an increase some too, due to the agi buff for the entire duration of the CD. but yeah you gotta play it by ear on how fast are they gonna live.
( still think it wouldn't change a lot, but interesting to discuss)
Is sin uncapped aoe? And does it apply that quickly?
No and no
Idk about the first bit, but once your shit ramps it'll surprise you.
I think assa is about both
Or well, softcapped
two ticks in st wouldn't change a lot
But almost everything is softcapped nowadays
but 2seconds in higher amount of targets will have more impact
i mean a pot adds about 10k dps to your overall in dslice
Realistically, whats your max targets? And whats ideal target number?
Eleem, I'm a sub enjoyer, but Sub feels bad in keys for me. Break down why. 2 target fights just about drive me up the wall.
and for me it's ctrl +z > shift + 4 > dm > kb > envenom > ct > env spam etc
clear
if your pot button is in narnia i guess it might sound weird
the size and stacking is kinda weird
imo
No cdr ):
during box cast you have time to prepare for small piano session
do yours overlap more? but thats ultimately what I tweaked to avoid them overlapping to make it very clear click targets that is a bit safer for mouseover kicks too.
It's probably 100% feels, but when I'm on undead boss in Windrunner spire or Troll/Bird boss as Sub, it feels like I'm tickling the 2nd target. The DoTS feel strong though when I'm sin.
no, less
well the more you space stacking things the more they can jiggle too lol
but can you describe more pls?
like envenom/caustic is softcapped ofc
but what about bleeds/poisons?
i dunno my keybinds are pretty much pinky shift and mash keys
I mean the damage from bleeds and poisons arent
q/e fok for maximum circle strafing
But spreading them to tons of mobs takes a long time
got it, from this perspective yes
still I guess poisons is easier
if it's kind of a chain pull with cds coming up i'll spread bleeds
but posions is something I still not completely understand
it may be applied or may not
but first pull first try im just setting the prio target up
also our two/three target is hilariously bad compared to a mage just saying
those guys eat lol
I guess pot before box make sense
Simply spread faster
if rain of toads guy dies faster thereby preventing someone from getting ree'd it's better for everyone

The best way to get someone to ree I feel this tier is letting them get polymorphed by the magisters terrace mages
Can't believe they didn't make a capybara raid boss

wait what
dundun is right there
it's like reading rotation during AA first pull
apply CT until everything bleed
and you literally have no fking idea when this time is and just spamming CT
in would be nice to have counter how many targets affected by bleeds rly
Filo better be the Taivan mount of this expansion or I'll riot.
Nono, filo is the expansion end boss
For sure, but on a pull like that, just keep sending it until the pack wears out. You'll have plenty of energy.
Filo, enemy of all because sylvannas kills the troll children or something
yes, but if blizzard decide to change CT to not be Fan on steroids it will be a problem
for now just spam CT yes
......no?
you use CT until everything bleeds, then its FoK time
no "just spam CT"
Raidbot on 5 targets dummies.
Why no: garote, FoK, rupture, garrote, env, cd ...?
Delaying second garrote with improved garotte must be an dps gain isnt it?
Theyre referring to the first alg pack where you have like infinity enemies to spread into
It's called talon toss to us soft skins 
is there a way to always tricks the tank now that weakauras are died
or does it default to the tank
thankyou
!tricks
I just do a focus macro for the tank
I can't believe they pruned spells and simplified stuff without making tricks autotarget the tank
incredible
is the off hand dagger craft bis over a 289 one?
Well I'd be sad if I couldn't trick the mage
Its annoying to swap your focus to a kick focus afterwards
targetless should just be closest tank
you should still be free to target tricks that dumbass mage
offhand is pretty low value if you have other gear to upgrade
so this tooltip is just fake
i bought r1 and used it
but nothing spawned
does it only happen in actual mobfights or not
It does happen sometimes, silence zone
Small ones, like 5m radius and doesn't seem to disturb your teammates afaik
about the focus kick thing
i believe its MDT that has
a focus macro announcement
and it can also put a marker in your focus macro
so whenever theres a ready check in m+ it says "my focus target is <symbol>"
it only happens in combat
some people have said its workable
i tried it on beta and it was not in any way workable
maybe if a boss has a very large hitbox
time to test
Idk if I want workable on my pulls tbh
Pools proc on on 3rd boss skyreach and it was fine but i guess it can be really really annoying in some situations
wtf i thought those were the equivalent of the poor mans potion of recklessness. i didnt realize it was 774 agility
Is that one potion?
yes
Fuck that
this may have been a low roll though
i kind of got this one and spent most of blades pacified
yeah mechanics jail
and then logged out
maybe on a movement fight like salhadaar that was a cook
Feel like it’ll defo fuck yo at the worst time too
cloak does not immune it
Can other people see it
nope
important question: skyreach bird boss. does the egg dying explosion damage you?
i see some people just facetanking it with no dmg taken
No
Its cosmetic and doesn't scale
As long as its not over another egg it doesn't matter
Its for the other eggs
okayty
Correct
Im pretty sure it does a triple digit amount or something
But it doesn't scale
Idk just stand it
Same thing with circles on xenas last boss
They also dont do much damage and you can stack them
does the dot not stack

Good question, I never realised it gave a dot
I want to assume no since we always stack them for funsies on a 10 to 12
But things don't do damage thst key level anway except the trash before boss
Like circle does some damage but not enough to concern
is it bad that i feel like this is the best iteration of assassination in a long time? 
just realized that I can't see posion bomb in details
is it tracked like envenom?
I believe it's baked into Envenom but I could be wrong
wtf sub getting 7% buff but nothing for us
tbf he's thinking like the blizz class balance team
new to assa, what poisions we using
!poisons
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
Do not do this
Ouchie ouch
Cheat death moment truly
is the choice node with cheat called elusiveness or is that the deathstalker talent
elusiveness is the choice with cheat death
bait and switch is the deathstalker one iirc
Elusiveness gamers rise up
super dumb question that I'm sure has been answered before but when you apply imp garrote- then crimson tempest, are the spread garrotes themselves improved?
Yes
I dont really understand why all guides say to run the wedding ring when the set rings sim higher?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fiWs7XqeGG2oSFKsThWHTC
🤣
What about the other 20min+ of the dungeon or 4min 20 sec of the single target boss fight?
5 min ST patchwerk or do a dungeon slice for m+
They both have their flaws and won’t accurately sim real in game encounters, so using both and then finding a middle ground is usually a good idea
which is absolutely a possbility and fine
!up
do we switch embelishments to 2 arcano weave when we have 2 myth track weapons?
id sim it and see what the robot says
my guess is no but im also not able to math like the robot can
why would you fully upgrade a 2nd weapon anyway
thats wasting a shitton of crests for......nothing really?
+4 item level on offhand
thats like 2 agility and 4 in some secondarys mate

and you then get a lower ilvl in another slot for embelishments
Hey guys, i have a question. Do i use the puzzlebox and start spreading or do i spread the dots first?
you use it togheter with deathmark, like always
envenom puzzle dm kb
ty
you dont clip the dots with mastery buff?
clip what
? what ?
its dynamic
ah ok
ok i did the sim its a dmg loss 460
unlucky
I cant believe they still havent added back the option to show special resources on the target
at least we should be able to add to the personal resource display
do you envenom on 5+ or 6+
5+
no, ive simmeed that, hunt on oh is bigger gain than arcanoweave. oh stats is insignificant that extra ilvl there still doesnt beat hunt
not really
some people speculate .0.7 but its just 🔮
since like the first two weeks of the patch you mean
Why am I sometimes getting 1-2 CPs back after casting Envenom? It quite inconsistent, but it's occurring even when I'm not talented into Poisoner's Drive.
Huh, definitely an interesting one. Would also explain why talents that proc multiple coins are generating multiple CPs
is there a way to make the tricks addon automaticly cast it into the tank without needed to click on him
!tricks
Yeah i got this addon also the macro but i still need to press on the tank is there like something wiuth the setting or something that i am missing?
you need to be in a party with a tank
In order to turn hero crest into myth - do i need every item in every slot to be 276 at least right?
it works doe
Yes
Ok just need a ring from PoS and im good
Next reset sending bonus rolls in it
I will for sure get it, right guys?
I change the Misderection with tricks correct
or i keep the macro as it is
Nah, can CT and let caustic do the work
Orbs should realistically explode pretty fast
yes, that just makes it use the tricks icon/cooldown for the macro
Hey is it better in an aoe pull to spread all your bleeds and then rip deathmark or should you get imp garrote and rupture rip deathmark and then spread bleeds?
technically yes its better to get some spread, but if they are gonna die fast timing wont matter there. i spread like 2-3 times first personally.
it maximizes your agi bonus for the duration of the DM
In aoe you do gar > gar > fok > rupture > ct until 5 combo > envenom > box > dm > kb
And then u use more cts if u got more to spread
thank you!
Cooked up a new way of pulling birds onto 2nd boss skyreach tech requires DH+Aug. I have not tested this yet in an active key but should still work. Pretty massive time save in most meta comps. See important notes below.
xD?

puzzle box vs solarflare ?
Puzzle box for sure
they are not even in the same realm

BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. On top of this, all stats being good on Assassination means there are currently over 500 "BiS" combinations that are within margin of error. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.
Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS from world content is especially not helpful, and we do not maintain any lists of these types. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character.
Wowhead opener is way different but i'm inclined to agree w/you. It only makes sense to prio spreading bleeds before popping trinket/cd. Only thing that doesn't seem optimal to me is why double gar at the start when you could gar -> fan -> gar
Sometimes you just don’t have time for alldat
its literally the same as on wowhead
and it doesnt really matter if you garr garr fok or garr fok garr
No it isn't, it's pretty different. What he's saying vs aoe opener on wowhead
yeah its the same
I just checked

Same, it's different ;3
you probably checked priority
and not opener
only the envenom placement is different
So it's different :^)
yeah so different that its functionally the same
Nah bc he's also saying to ct before popping trinket, hence pretty different
he only CTs because he wants to get an envenom
Which is what I was agreeing with
not because he wants to spread before CDs
Why not just fan then
brother that still doesnt mean you spread bleeds for the CDs
its literally different logic
he probably does that purely because you envenom in ST before you use CDs
not because its better
pressing a single gcd with another skill cus at that point it doesnt matter what you press is not "different" lol
you want quick openers in AoE
^
wasting 3 more GCDs before you pop CDs can literally waste the most important parts of them
because that mob might just die while they are active
it not being a noticeable dps gain aside seemingly in any case, because whispyr would have included it that way if it was
so you just kinda run a risk with no tangible gain
When is deathstalker gonna be good again ? 😌
season 2 is the season of the deathstalker
I can feel it
they implemented a change after 5 minutes of brainstorming, surely will see play
😂🤣
Hopefully never
I have to write my guide for a wide array of players, and the most common situation is that delaying cds leads to the mob dying before deathmark/kingsbane finishes. That’s why openers immediately press cds. If you’re playing high enough keys where you can afford to press envenom or even multiple envenoms before going into cooldowns, feel free to do so since you are getting scent stacked up beforehand. Hopefully you can understand why that’s not the base recommendation
That's a great explanation. I always wondered, because when I'm opening on a pack I know is going to live a while I do it slightly differently like that other guy was saying, bc why not.

Does rogue survivability suck on +19 or is it the healers fault?
Sorry lil gup I’m retired also very much not bored
Question one:
that’s a lot of fucking mutilates
!poison
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used

I think every boss was like
5mins
deffinitly fat fingers it a few times durring trash tho
or a lot actualy


Holy mother of a 4 minute boss
You weren’t kidding
The answer is often the same
CD more

I didnt wanna cd the 3 mob pulls this goof was giving me
but i prob should've in hindsight
since they lived forever
whats ur average dungeon slice sim fellas
i just rerolled and im missing couple of mastery but im curious if im good to go on 19s
my simming yields like 140k
Wait so are u 140k with all buffs or just bloodlust 
Finally got time to clear Pit with bonus rolls and I hate my life 
Ring and neck are nice
i wish i had the pit ring, instead i have the npx ring set 
Belt too, but already had it from a vault.
is slice and dice just not something we press anymore?
Nope
not since tww s2
do we get it automatically now?
from envenom yep
Yep
yes
i think i like this spec now
Same
i refuse to play outlaw because you have times where you have to actually press it
deathstalker + manual snd

we are so back
Bring back shiv too
Why are poisons still 1hr long
Yea 
why shouldnt they be perma?
should have to reapply them after each use to be more realistic
takes like 5 minutes to apply all our posions
leeching poison style buffs going forward yes
no
yes
does a snake have to reapply poison?

in theory yes
yes actually
does a snake go "hold up a second, lemme reapply this shit before i bite you"
wait what
yes
Yea they gotta secrete it right
^^
Or something
they have to constantly make new poison
and the fangs are hollow
so they're basically making poison in these glands in their head
making a stew
and then when they bite and the fangs hit
they piss the poison into your skin through the fangs
i hate it here
yeah, poison is stored in the balls
thats why like when you see that one documentary of a guy extracting the most dangerous poison, the snake doesnt actually spit the poison straight away
well actually I guess it's more like shitting? idk I've never been a snake
you are a snake bro
but they gotta squeeze their muscles to shoot the poison out
boy do i have the spec for you
no im good

no cause they have venom not poison 
okay fucking loser
yes

the only difference between poison and venom
is that venom is injected
and poison is everything else
kingsbane is venom
does that mean c is venom
No
venomnomnom

Kingsbane is u force feeding the mob poisoned food
it depends on the strike actually
if touching the skin of the mob with kingsbane is lethal, then it's a poison
if you have to stab them and pierce skin to get the juice into their bloodstream
that would be a venom
What if it only becomes bloodstream lethal after touching the skin
I don't think blizzard thought about any of these technicalities, because as a reminder, KINGSBANE IS THE NAME OF THE SET OF DAGGERS ITSELF, THE VENOM POISON IS PART OF THE DAGGER
like blizzard wants me to believe I'm stabbing, I'm stabbing
and every minute
I swap to these old ass daggers from like 50 years ago
stabbing cause they make a special toxin
and then swapping back
??????
my immersion bro this game blows
it takes exactly 1 minute to generate enough toxin for another dose
now where these daggers grow it from
is a mystery

hey the tooltip says inject
The tooltip also says poison you knob
i play many of the classes and the flavor is pretty good on most, but with rogue im really left feeling like blizzard has no idea what they want this class to be or do
ie., outlaw
long time player
new assa m+ guide video plz thx
?
Ironically, I think outlaw is the best of the 3 specs in executing its thematics and concept
ya but its lame
need deathmark to pop a gas mask on and start shitting out poison clouds
is it good enough
Okay so it’s not for you then
that seems good too
on outlaw ive simmed 160k so im not sure
I don’t like the themes of shaman
The pirate cowboy spec?
it's lame jack sparrow nonsense
sorry not paying attention too busy hittim 1.7m envenoms on demiar
You can’t compare specs through sims btw
are there any talents that makes garrote silence anymore?
Iron wire still exists
we could give outlaw wrangle as a death grip ability 
yeaah thats why im askin here is 140k with all buffs acceptable for 19s
Yes
Yea thats fine
Yeehaw, matey!
this would unironically be peak
hi, which is the best encounter helper addon for mythic plus in your opinion atm? dbm? littlewigs? another solution? are they bricked?
is ambush not used anymore?
Blindside automatically swaps your mutilate
it exists as a proc
What if they made feint work on all damage
Welcome to insert any spec here in midnight
a lot of classes play this way now
They would still need to attribute the damage to the target. It could be 100% and wouldn't matter if the damage comes from the environment
Fwiw the vast majority of fights have the vast majority of their damage from the target
Can you give me 3 examples where this an issue
Doesn't atrophic work like 99% of the time
To clarity I'm not saying all the damage comes from the environment, I'm saying rather than buff the % it should just apply to all the damage, which is what it seems like it should be doing
Do you still need to envenom the same target for caustic spatter? Say if you accidentally change target, do you make sure to swap back to the "main" one
If you envenom another target that target now has spatter on it
Envenom applies it yeh
I can give you one but its not rogue related
So you just want to auto attack the target you recently envenomed
Was there an excel sheet with all the current bugs at one point?
But do you lose one spatter going off by hitting that new target?
Envenom and kb move spatter
No
Last expansion yes, this expansion no
I put the impactful stuff in the pins when it happens
Too many to keep track of, i get it
Spatter is applied before envenom
Got it thx
what rotationals buffs do you guys track? Are the fatebound coins even worth it?
But right now we don’t actually have something impactful
No
implacable seems important to track
Kinda
Its not useless to track, but i wouldnt really say important
You def dont want to keep refreshing implacable if ur low on energy
You can entirely ignore envenom and implacable and only lose about 1%
im tracking nothing now but implacable
Good to know lmao, time to ignore it
Its from mists of tirna scithe, the debuff from the bugs at the end of the dungeon was considered environmental damage for whatever reason. And preservations Rewind and Golden Hour doesnt work on environmental damage
Wasnt fixed the entire season 
But thats healing not DR
Not quite the same
And that’s from 2 seasons ago
Why are both the kb hits and the envenom buff called implacable
Because apex talents don’t have different names
They’re one name with multiple ranks

Makes them really annoying to refer to, especially in guides 
they could've had a little mini 3 node tree at the bottom but I suspect things UX-wise were getting cluttered enough as it is
why are we pressing fok in aoe after tempest if tempest does more damage and has longer range?
sorry for goofy questions, just setting things up and making sure i dont miss stuff
Crimson tempest costs a lot more energy
So if you dont need to spread bleeds, its better to fok
do you ever mutilate in aoe?
no
envenom is our only spender besides rupture now too?

correct
what does this even mean twin
I guess
on the flip side, do we ever press fok in ST. Also at how many targets do you swap to fok, just 2+?
!fok
Fok/Generator Conditions in Midnight
Always finish on 5+ combo points, or go to maximum with Darkest Night Envenom
- Crimson Tempest -> until all targets have bleeds
- Fan of Knives -> 2+ targets, or 3+ if talented into blindside
- Mutilate/Ambush otherwise
ty
Theres never a reason to go full when playing fatebound, eh?
always 5cp
end him
hilariously, there was a pretty big crashout about thistle tea being used automatically less than 12 hours ago
some people want to press the button and have the control over it
for some reason idk
it's the most nit picky bullshit to ever get mad about
but ya know
some people like making their lives more difficult
real
surprised tea is still a talent
Didn't thistle tea used to give mastery
yeah
I think I'd rather tea was like a auto proc when u pressed a cd
not just when ur low
but ive played assas for a total of 1 key

yeh
the problem with that, which is what we used to do via macro
is that people would then bitch about wasting energy because they have infinity energy but then tea pops

Can't make everyone happy
not that*
People still find ways to overthink it
tell that to the guy yesterday crashing out that he bricked a key because he didn't have tea to cast one extra envenom on a mob before it finished a cast
or something like that
As opposed to not using the tea earlier and slowing down the rotation and as such resulting in a similar amount or less damage?
Seems like cope to me
Idek what mob requires a must kill situation like that where you arent already immediately prioing it down
That cant be kicked or stopped
the ogre caster in windrunner
comes to mind sorta
but thats a strawman arguement no need to think about what that dude was trying to convey
But youre already hitting it and you would have used your tea regardless
Doesnt make sense to me
Haha
manual tea would be effective in a world where the pooling/chaining minigame was way more impactful and you had a little rng to your regen that could be smoothed over with tea charges
but we do not live in that world
the discussion was that if you pop tea in the last 10 sec of a pull then you don't have it later let's say the elephant in MC
and if a second cast goes off you wipe
and it goes off cause no tea
it was like 12 hours ago if you scroll up you ll find it
Ic ic
One could argue you can play around it by just, pooling slightly at the end of a pull if u know u need tea
But its still a mega cope argument
yes this was exactly what was said
you dont understand this is what makes you time 21s

Im psure youre planning for 2 roars in 22 and only play one mammoth because of this
U could argue the one at start
If ur phys comp
Since everyone just lives anywau
is there any reason we cast envenom before cds in ST

what is the best m+ comp with assa?
Probably unhdk arms rsham brew
I think feral + assa is weird cause of 2minute cd overlap
Being a priority mob in a dungeon when this comp rolls up 
XD
double big funnel and single semi funnel spec is crazy
