do you have blind on bars
yesir
did you watch a YT video or read the wowhead guide
I got nothing else, its literally the easiest mage tower for one of the easiest specs in the game
Ive did it all my friend lol
at 950 you should be able to go afk and still do it
I think it's the worst one tbh]
at 950 leeching poison should heal through everything and more
but yeah, at 950 you outheal everything by miles
ilvl doesn't do much except outheal/outdps stuff, since it's a challenge you still need to understand wth a class can do
run over the runes dodge the valkyr and interrupt the main bitches blood of the father
no need to tell them, they read the guide and everything
i just did it recently so it's still fresh for me
You literally keep the bitch blinded nearly the entire fight
how can you not do it lol
You don't even have to
Has anyone else noticed a decrease in dps in the past 2 weeks?
yes my dps has dropped to 0 because i have only logged on to afk in dalaran
also no you prolly just having bad luck or something
Yeah, must be. Ive looked through patch notes and see no changes, but mine has severely fallen off.

๐
My PB was doing half of what it usually does
Clearly bug
Ye
@nimble tartan u dum
"b o r r o w"
Hey guys, im not a rogue name, but can did I make the character look right? I'll try harder next time if not: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/tichondrius/papasucc
0/10 btw
@solid nova I was in transmog but they're talking about actually productive stuff
unheard of, just interrupt and post your char to get shit on probably
I dont see any previous posts ๐คท
Try again mate, they're lovely down in #transmog
I'd get a proper screenshot before wondering in, rather than an armoury link though
so i can do BIG DPS
What do u play
feelsbadman
literally mythic keystyone capitalism every monday night/early tuesday morning
gets declined from everything lmao. ๐ฆ
if only I had a key. never got around to getting one this week. been busy rip
I usually have one too. just busy this week, so it's on me haha
Seems like both your options arent great ๐
Exactly!
But yeah, standard rogue declines - should of made a monk ๐
I mean who cares at this point?
Not you Flowi
Expansion is over
Clearly
I've got a monk haha.
Flowi's already waiting for BFA to be over
imagine being overly negative about WoW and still chatting in WoW discord
for real
Imagine yourself imagining that you're imagining being overly negative about WoW and chatting on a WoW discord o.0
most people still care about the game but don't like the state it's in
plus they just posted residentsleeper not so bad
Flowi is fluent in sarcasm, don't take it so literally my man
very tough to convey emotion over text
Yeah no one ever can read my tears ๐ญ
For sure, thats why i love smileys, cant go wrong i think xD
i fucking hate emojis
๐
๐
like that one
Thats 100% a BM emoji
what about
literally every time
๐
Read a long text from me and you would kill yourself, i am over using smileys ๐๐โค๏ธ
oh nice ๐ ๐ ๐ฆ
๐
guess no key for me tonight then. been searching for almost an hour
feels๐ ฑ adman
LOL
gotta save up more cash. i went poor recently
I already treated myself too much
aka skipped as much draenor rep grinding as possible
Rip ๐ฐ
Yeet
nah sorry for the pointless venting though. I usually have my own key every week. Now the week I don't have it i'm like "wow this is shitty" so I was just venting a little bit. ๐
been signing up for so many
I either get declined, ignored, or they're all selling or twitch raffle winners, etc. etc.
i'm 940 lol
you horde EU ?
Horde NA
rip
why's that?
I appreciate the offer my friend
too poor lol
as I said above. I splurged my way out of draenor rep grinding lmao
sucks to suck for me
no friends online currently. guild is a friends guild of only like, 5 people LOL
rip my friend
don't get me wrong i'm not like begging or anything. just irritated and needed to vent a bit. cause now I know what it's like not having my own 15 key like I usually do
well
I was busy this week and didn't have the time to farm one up haha
i get declined from 23s
even if i've almost timed all 24s
answer: why don't you play monk
yeah people are weird about accepting invites
gave up on that shit
oh as in why don't you play monk being the answer for you?
lol
if that's what you meant i mean. i may have misunderstood
yep
aah okay gotcha
yeah
they're fantastic, yeah, but god they are not required
but people need "muh optimal runs"
well aoe stun is great
yeep
can't masspull as rogue
during the mythic dungeon invitationals, I would occasionally spot a rogue
always caught me by surprise
I think one of them actually managed to pull ahead of a group that had a monk instead. may have just been better player skill by that point
hopefully it will change in bfa
yeah
sick tired of these monks doing 20m dps
Rogue is already looking nice. did you see the recent build with the new rogue talents and such?
i.e shuriken tornado?
haven't logged into beta for a while, last i heard wasn't working properly
yeah
I think I'm allowed to post a picture in here?
was gonna share with you the little updates they'd made recently
or that are to come, rather
yeah saw them
Yeee. wasn't sure if that was what you mean, since you said you hadn't been on in a while
but those look exciting
especially secret technique
also bringing back crimson tempest is nice, i missed that for a while
some weeb shit
yeah lol
i dig it
for sure. more AOE options the better imo
imo Tornado seems like quite niche ability but I hope it's fine in that niche
Yeah. And pretty expensive.
How do you feel about secret technique?
it's still energy efficient af because storm is 35
and you gain 4 storms for a price of not even 2
Isn't that expensive when you put it into perspective of using Shuriken Storm 4 times and saving 4 GCDs
and just rape one target
How do you feel about secret technique?
it's not working on beta
I like the concept
I have an idea in my head how it works based on spell data and I am fine with it
it's really hard to judge abilities that haven't had their numbers adjusted yet
and saving 4 GCDs
as energy based class, and especially in BfA, gcd is not a resource, energy is
numbers arent all that relevant, its more important of mechanics of the spell. so we dont end up with somethign that deals buttload of damage but will fuck you over half the time when you use it due to shitty mechanics
In terms of burst GCD is a resource. Doing damage in 5 GCDs or 8 GCDs is quite a different and can mean destroying pack earlier.
sure
However that point is moot if pack takes too long to kill and you'll eventually go out of energy and will have to wait to regen
but if you kill pack in 5 gcds then you outgear it heavily already
yea, but it also allowes for more prio-damage on a target that needs to die asap
which again, saving 3 GCD's is a good deal
I hope for tornado to shine on herald of nzoth
but I have a feeling technique is gonna be too good overall damage
the way I see it is that for certain raid bosses shuriknado will be viable option, but for general purpose, or dungeons, especially m+ Secret technique will be meta
but of course, number tuning can make anything happen so...
Sorry Iโm just catching back up. Were you saying secret technique is broken as in itโs not in the build yet? Or it is and just wonโt work?
it is in the talent tree and you can read the tooltip
but if you use it, nothing happens
Ooh gotcha. Literally broken, rip
I really like secret tech it fits the rogue theme of BFA
Cos rogue doesnt work either
Cause thatโs something really new theyโre working on. Tornado is probably easier cause theyโre just taking storm and makijg it go off 4 times in one spell
LOL Flowi
LOL
dw, we'll get fixe din 8.1
they probably have working version on internal build or something
but it broke when patching it on beta
wierd shit can happen, like the AOE spells not disappearing recently
Yeah, makes sense.
I try to catch some streamers playing beta lately, and Iโm not sure if Iโm just missing the players playing the spec
But most of he time Iโm seeing outlaw. Not sure if itโs out of good changes, or hoping that it will be better
Barely see any assassination or sub, unless itโs a big group testing raiding
yea I havent seen ANY sub rogues at all, like zero
Mhm. I would personally like to see outlaw do well, I find it fun
But in the end I want every rogue spec to work as it should
I dont rly care tbh, while I was sub to be the "meta" I'll in the end play whatever is the most fun and is up there on meters and since BfA wont have legendary system, fotm rerolling wont be an issue
Yeah for sure. And regardless of the spec doing better on the meters, you can literally pull those numbers too if you know our class well enough
So itโs all up to whatโs fun then
"Know our class well" ye i feel u, the 3 button rotations that can be done with foot pedals are very challenging
spinning crane kick requires 1 button
2nd button for leg sweep to make M+ ezmode? ๐
Oh God that was from 3hrs ago dead channel
true
You're a long way from your tree gnome stonghold my man

hint - you are being too serious about me being
, my friend
now im 


Hi guys, How long can I delay my toxic blade to wait for energy regen to try to have 3+ envenom during the TB window?
usually Im energy starved when it comes back
alright I see
When you see tb has 7 sec. See your energy and cp
basically trying to it on cd,, but build energy just bfr it comes off cd
Make a decicion what to do
also, how much energy should I get roughly bfr it comes back off cd?
Doesn't mean you should sit at energy cap but that is ideal scenario
yes I can try to aim for 80%
what's your crit %
35.62
that's p good
over time you get a feel for how much you need and it gets easier when mutilate crits a lot
5 stacks of argus buff 
So having quite a bit of trouble with my dps was wondering if a geared assassination rouge could give me a hand
Sooooo why kingsbane after toxic blade
Shouldnโt you kingsbane then toxic blade so the poison gets added to it
TB doesn't add to the KB ticking total. Only your applied poison applications do.
That spell also has initial damage
And TB to buff the initial hit of KB. Cause it hits decently hard.
Oh
does anyone recommend any weakauras for sin rogues?
I'm not sure where else to ask this, but is sin looking any good in BFA?
@haughty lily Notter has a weakaura package in the pins, I use them, but modified some to my liking.
Oh sweet ๐ thanks
never used weekauras before so it would be nice to experiement with
@pastel jetty It's an opinionated question right now, one thing for sure is that our apm is going down. Personally, I'm not that fond of its single target at the moment, but crimson tempest is cool and fun.
Like I said you'd have to get an opinion for yourself. Like how the majority opinion on bfa sub rogue is that it is terrible but honestly I'm having a blast with it
Thank's Connor!
And, some of the azerite pieces do look promising so we have to see where that leads
Also note that rogues in general do not play well at the start of an expansion with quest greens/blues. Legion was sort of an exception to this but in my experience it takes at least to get geared up with gear from the first raid for rogues to start to feel "good"
yeah, I've been trying to get somewhat decent gear to know how it feels. I hate playing the beta just to grind though, feels like a waste of time
yeah, that's why I don't really play beta that much
not going to grind out azerite and get geared up for no reason
the azerite situation is really silly
I have some good traits that unlock at 11, 12, 13, etc
but I would need literally weeks of farming for those
Some WQ's reward a good chunk of azerite but i'll admit idk what level it starts to really take off
at level 10 it jumps to needing 18000 for the next trait
doing every world quest... you can get like 3000 a day
thankfully the first tier of traits are the most useful ones
The gear from mythic dungeons has 2nd and 3rd traits that actually impact your dps
which would be lovely
if I could unlock them
do they? I haven't done any mythic dungeons yet
are the class specific are just general stuff?
they will probably do something like AK in legion too speed it up after a while
just sim it
how much crit do i need to sim myself
About sim yourself%
about 0% should do it liethe
Ijust got the shoulders lol.... I know I can read but ... any basic new things I should do. I generally use subterfuge and vanish and garotte i guess now i can envenom and stuff
line it up with vendetta, use nightstalker
OK
Hey, would someone be willing to have a look at my character and my logs and give me a few pointers n
*on how to improve
I want to get my Rogue ready for alt-mythic raids and don't think my damage output is up there yet
just link your logs
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/thrall/stabarella Ideally mainly look at the newer logs as some parses are fairly old
And please don't kill me for my trinket ๐

monkaS trinket
I wish I had it on my main ๐
opener is off
read the guide in the header if you havent
vanish windows are wrongยจ
I've read it a bit, but I might need to check it out again. How much do you think is the lack of wrists doing performance wise
I only got the shoulders like a week ago, I gotta get used to opener and vanish
whats your offpiece helmet look like
Give me a sec, I'll check
But I simmed quite a few combinations and this came out on top
960 Crit + Mastery offset helmet
Bracers is the last legendary I am missing
BiS Legendaries last monkaS
so its like your off piece bracers
i wouldnt guess its higher than maybe 15k dps difference depending on fight etc
anyways, read the guide first. your cooldowns are out the window
Okay, in that case I assume it's mainly down to execution, since my stats should be quite okay
stats and itemization looks fine
in the NLC?
nvm, must have been an addon messup
I do have it selected in NLC now that I checked
Thanks a lot for the help, let's hope I can put it into numbers ๐
I should get my bracers tonight, so that's something ๐
@golden radish I'm looking at your most recent varimathras kill. You wasted lots combo points, do not mutilate at 4 cp. Need to fix opener. Your second vanish was in the middle of nowhere. Save it for vendetta and toxic blade. It's not like you're going to get another cast anyway on most fights.
Envenom uptime was good. Need to work on getting the most out of toxic blade. Try not to refresh your bleeds during toxic blade.
Ideally you should be actively aware of the cooldown on toxic blade so you are a) not energy starved when it comes off cooldown and b) don't have to refresh bleeds during it
did i just see an 980 eoc

Have to admit these assassin shoulders sure make it a bit more fun ๐
Thatll last two weeks, then you want to kill yourself for wearing them
Hey everyone, should I be using my TB and KB on CD, or wait till KB is at 9 seconds to use my TB?
on cooldown
Thank you
Whoever added the overview of how to efficiently analyze our sims, thank you.
On the guide
i got a 975 iron relic for multi strike crit
my current relic is 945 for increased deadly poison
should i use ethe 975?
you should sim
whats the point of the kingsbane weak aura?
Depends on what it tracks. If it's tracking ending stacks then you can tell whether you got a good KB average or not (though this... doesn't really do anything). If it's tracking just the duration it becomes easier to tell if/when you should ENV/RUP/TB.
or something to know when it's off CD ๐คท
i just track the cooldown and remaining duration
I forgot the CD! Nice cover ๐
I think this is the biggest blizzard troll ever
ahah that is quite unfortunate!
your name is funny! it is not however fitting of a rogue
ahaha
what a confusing sentence friend
Oops meant to edit not delete
lmao
RIP your haste mastery though, 985 with socket. As I was trying to say I get tons of haste mastery but it's only ever base 960
How is Gorshalach Legacy for assassination?
I believe it's not very good my friend!
ffs
But this information is available on herodamage
i got a 970 from the cache this week xD
herodamage? is that a website, sorry im very new
tyvm
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/caelestrasz/Acero hi, go ahead and tell me what im doing wrong and stuff i can improve to get better. Much appreciated
SIN GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <--SIN GUIDE HERE
you only hit shadow of varimathras with one of the 4 foks you casted!
the very first one
odd sequencing of abilities there friend
this is a weird one too for sure
you cast 4/5 cp ruptures back to back
quite a big dps loss!
Just hover over the rupture icon and it will tell you what it was cast on ๐คท
oh thank you friend
fixed it ๐
you seem to do this quite a bit
it is very late at night and I am tired
but this was just one log so I suggest you read the guide because you seem to lack basic understanding of the spec!
the guide can be found in the pins
@still horizon
im new to assassination rogue and i was wondering on how i would use kingsbane and toxic blade without vendetta
on cd
so like say i open up and do my rotation and time pases and kingsbane and toxic blade come off cd. do i just kingsbane and toxic blade or wait for vendetta
Why would you not use a cast if it was available?
Toxic blade is 25 seconds CD, Kingsbane is 45 seconds and Vendetta is relic dependant but 2minute base
Why would you hold them for such a long duration when you can use it and benefit?
got it! thanks!
Its in the pinned guide which covers Tb/KB usage
GGZ. Good Guy Zempai.
Yeah, Zempai is a good guy, Leaving us for a Save Argus Kill ๐
Just kidding, he realy Is a nice guy our klicker

Iโm a friendly person... didnโt wanna say that Zempai Is a soa***** for leaving me alone with these crazy People xD
If there is a shared damage ability and one character pops a defensive and the other does not, does the player without the dmg reduction take a higher amount?
i swear it used to be like that in ToT and im being told im wrong
It does work like that. Damage is split first, then DRs are applied.
Edited because I misread initially.
makes sense thanks
So i usually use my leggo shoulders and boots because they are the best I have right now. Although I just got my cloak and was gonna sim it to see if it would be worth switching gear for big aoe pulls. Does it sim it with it having a full 30 stacks?
oh alright thank you for the advice, thought it might at least be good for like big imp mobs or something like that
lol
cheat death or elusiveness on argus, we are wiping ph3 below 30%
m argus*
originally method said to run cheat death, but with the sac strat it gets wasted which is what the guide here says
FUCKING FINALLY GOT ARGUS
CD
97 on the first kill too bby
and grats
tyty
Gratz

@strange python i would say Elusivness
until you're a millimeter out of position with rage and/or the tank moves the boss funky and you get scythed when CD would have saved you ๐
give it a try tho can't hurt
Imagine not killing Argus on the fifth try
no @gusty kestrel
at least I didn't pay gold for it 
tbh I would have loved progressing it, but well
damn dude got lucky lol
985 neck and bonus rolled a 970 ring lmao
sorry was watching netflix while i took screenshot
Argus or Aggramar harder since the Nerv? Mythic based of course.
Argus is still harder than Aggr tho, if that answers the question
Omfg... guild needed about 550 tries vor Aggr.... gonna need 700 for Argus? 
argus is a really fun fight though
yeah, after doing nothing while aggr you finally need to move around again
550 wipes on aggra 
Somewhat new to playing assas, what does rupture snapshot off of? Feral main so im pretty familiar with how it works and what the weakaura is showing me, just not sure what all I can proc it with
Nightstalker
Thats the only thing?
The timer color on my WA is changing frequently, I figured it would be something else as well..
pandemic probably
Rupture pandemic is around 7.2s
Should you clip rupture on the opener or go straight to envenom after your first vanish
You should do what you're legendaries want you to do - you can read about it in the guide
shoulders/wrists, but thank you.
who else loved legendaries that were passive buffs /s
what do you mean? they're entirely passive
oh Mage Tower Challenge Will be Accessible Always Towards End of Legion
cool
๐๐ผ
hey, how does the opener change if u use bracer/boots for poison build?
Source Zemp?
@wise frigate #wowheadnews #mmochampionnews
Yeah I gathered from the link Tisumi posted.
@grim wolf check the guide ๐
fuck me boys
I used vendetta on the second module ๐ข ๐ซ
the worst part.... it was already dead
๐ซ
fuck dude ๐ฆ feelsbad
super bad, it would be a 2.4M+ log for sure
that's rough dude, still a new best though?
i only just got my first argus kill tonight, was ~2.3m and felt like a god LOL
yes, still my best log, my second best is the first kill, almost 2 months ago ๐
hey guys , X-post from basic question :
hey guys, how do i maximize vanish usage for assassination during raids?
should i be pooling beforehand? and what abilities do i want to save for the vanish window
this is with mantle legendary
would i want to use rupture during vanish window too? or just envenoms
env 100% during vanish window, so if you need to refresh rupture, do it before you vanish
yeah def
ideally you want all your CDs rolling but
often you'll have vendetta+TB up
You can delay vanish for vendetta as you can maximize the 100% crit usage in that window.
but i want to have my 2 dots already refreshed and hav 4-5 cp + energy pooled to spam envenoms right?
save vanish for <30% boss health too (under the assumption that it won't lose you a cast)
oh okay, i dont hav the wrist yet, but wen i get em, ill keeep that in mind
yeah your goal is to vanish+envenom for the NS buff on that first envenom
and have enough energy to mut+env for 3 total envenoms in the window
thank you so much
If you want further help, I'd recommend logging your fight and posting it here.
make sure to check out the pinned guide too, it's got great stuff
But remember that majority of the top parses in heroic/mythic are from top geared rogue on farm status
ive read the revenholdt pinned guide over like 5 times XD
thanks a lot guys!
right
( อกยฐ อส อกยฐ)
And by here he means #off-topic
Yikes
I like the KB before TB more tbh
That actually makes me feel so sick rn
Always TB before KB to buff KB starting damage if possible
^
if your KB comes off CD, you could delay TB for last 9s of KB.
But I just like to TBonCD...now only if I have the meme gif on handy
๐ฆ
i didnt know that TB'ing first interacted with KB
thats cool
would delaying TB for the last 9s of KB be like a huge dps increase?
Only if you applied KB before TB while TB is on CD and coming off shortly
OH thats wut u mean
but tbh it wouldn't break or make your dps, just basically max the usage of KB/TB.
thanks!
Hello everyone, whatโs the min amount of Cp i should be using on env and rup?
question about poison bomb .. does it have to wear off in order for the next one to proc?
poison bomb does what it feel when it feels
i dont understand how boots bracers is ever suppose to sim better than shoulders
i have crazy gear and shoulders are still above by a good margin
Higher crit and different talents = boots and bracers sim better
Was doing 21+ upper the other day and reminded myself why i dont play assas in m+. Small mana worms i squeezed 12 finishers and no pb proc
i mean upper is a good dungeon for sin just depends what your other comp is
might not need extra dps on worms
I mean 21 upper is easy. On higher keys i go sub to be effective at adds on 1st boss and have nice damage on evocation
I find having just got the shoulders they seem kind of fun...
yeah shoulder pbs are kind of addictive
Shoulders are too reliant on pb to be fun for me. Rather have a high average, consistent build.
Shoulders are the best if you are doing content as sub
Never simmed them cuz well my worst piece was shoulders so i am sure it would sim better then my boots/bracer mostly
i swap out in dungeons i tend to use vanish on trash a lot and swap in boots for bosses when its not up on pul

to you too Zempai
Just got bck into my rogue and don't do that high level stuff ๐ so my dps is generally good enough for whatever haha
i havent done anything higher then a 20 for weeks now no one really wants to play anymore in my gruop of friends
and pugging blows
Dead fucking game
the same
I pushed 24+ but after that threshold my team dropped me for a dh.. feelsbad
@viscid helm could they do anything that would actually make you happy?
Launch classic
probably not

Scrap the shitshow that is BFA
Oh yeah that's just, the best idea anyone has ever had.
Breaks are healthy.
they could make Rubber Boot Throwing a thing
Anyone played beta enough to know if agi staffs is a thing?
Have not looked.
Not a thing
feral limited to onehanders then 
Polearm
Shared with one other class, I guess thats better than the other options ๐
Thanks!
ah the joy of H/m legs from chest
yep
just found an exalt orb pogger sin the chat
a what
no more orbs to kill!
@nimble tartan #off-topic 
Two questions, should you only rupture at 5 cp for ST, and do you mutilate at 4 cp or just envenom? Also for dungeons, using Fan of knives and applying rupture to targets is it a ST gain by spamming FoK to spam envenom on your main target like how sub gains ST dmg with enemies to build points off?
One more too lol, if there's a big pack say 8+ mobs, is it ever a dps loss aoe wise-non priority target, to use rupture on all of them or should you only rupture a couple of them?
assuming you are playing without DS, you use any finisher with 4+
@digital stirrup the guide is incredibly thorough and answers the questions, its at the top
I was reading through it but it's mainly just raid/ST information, not much on dungeons
An M+ guide is something thats been wanted but not had anyone write one yet as it required a fair bit of effort tbh
for 2+ targets use FoK, have rupture applied to the 3 highest health targets, well that doesn't mean anything when there are 10 targets in a big pull haha
And you'll only rupture if you'll get the benefit of the duration
No, dont do that, you're wasting your mantle window
You weave it with Envenom
Or you're wasting SoT and Mantle buffs
To get full value of 3 full ruptures you'll need to be doing decently high keys in the first palce
ye
Would using envenom on multiple targets be a dps increase from poisons-assuming there's not a priority target affected by affixes, or just spam FoK-Envenom onto 1 target
the envenom procs the buff that makes you apply your poisons at a higer %
so when you fok next time, theres a higher percent that the poisons are successful,
do you have tier 21?
no tier or mantle
yeah, id focus on that before M+
Yesterdays bonusroll ๐
1 month and its useless

flowi with the motivational words
Truth hurts
Just like your perma bans
oof
well where's freedom of speech ?
It's an illusion
what am I hiding ?
something's not quite right...
Freedom of speech protects you from goverment punishing you for shit u say. Private entity can do whatever on their platform
Like goverments ๐ค

stop summoning Perelman
hi guys
got this sim with raidbot, https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sjoZkTuSU68B4E3gwUmScK
is this normal that head could be ahead of braccers?
or the exec phase is kinda fucked up on sim?
It is possible
nothing wrong with that
Why people are so surprised by legendaries being good
Right
also its only 3 minute sim
965 bis stat wrists vs low ilvl tier hat and off gloves
Does feint reduce damage from aggs flame rend? ๐ค
on 5 minute bracers might take over
yes papag
Is flame rend AOE? ...
Yes it does
Fight lenght has nothing to do with wrists 
Last time I simmed, the shorter the fight went, the worse bracers were for me
Not sure if argonic is trolling or stupid
yous are lying. flame rend must be single target
๐ฆ
Trolling obvs
thx weak
I'll pop the sims here once I get home, but in that case why did head piece simmed better on 2 minute than on 5 minute?
Could be plenty reasons. Like extra vanish and kb uses
Havent really bothered to study the hat
while you studied the hat, i studied the blade
If I member names of abilities correctly - foe breaker is tonks, flame rend is split
aight, thanks for the info, good to know
2nd vanish timing etc... if it's exec phase is obviously better ^^
what lorentz said
got kinda always head ahead ^^
Head ahead
makes sense, thank EGii
must be about the stats aswell, head is way more stats than bracers / and better one in this case
Are the azerite pieces locked to spec
Or can you just swap in from sin to sub and have it be useful
Oh so like old school talents
Gotcha, was thinking it sounds too multi spec friendly to be the case
make ๐๐ป bigger ๐๐ป bags
we get 32slot bags...!
I guess I should try to learn how to M+ as sub... just been doing assassin so far lol
I play assa as well ๐คท
I just want some variety and such
Still need to get the legs though just got a mantle drop today
I think mantle is also decent for sub though honestly haven't checked guides on that since the beginning of the expansion
Mantle is one of the best for all 3 specs.
The main reason I play assassin is for pvp situations though i mean i know sub is good but it's also meant to be supported.... where with assassin I can humiliate some of the mongo classes without some nice outplaying.... it's tough sometimes but from what I gather tougher on sub since you rely more on uptime.
Just want to be versatile. Any specific tips in M+ for sub.. i know I am supposed to time DFA with something
Ah sorry
A forum nazi ๐
I kinda forgot that lol since I only really hang out in this channel. Apologies!
Did he just say I was a Nazi?
N a z i
@gaunt moat reeeeeeeeee
What do you even mean
One does not simply ping into Mordor.
If you are a nazi, notter will ban you ofc
I thought tom was the nazi and he already banned

๐
who's tom
I've seen that name referenced quite a lot but
I've never seen him talk?
oh
what happened?
Tom was a jolly fellow, its a true shame that he is gone
Now pls
i agree with pezza
Yeah.
That picture

any tips to take Varimatras mythic bump as assa rogue? any macro for step or something? (put a friend in focus?)
? Just step to boss
step to boss could trigger alone in darkness sometimes so... dunno
had twice dafuq xD
I just pick a healer I trust and do a /target name, /cast Shadowstep, /targetlasttarget. I have had it happen once or twice on heroic that I would get Alone in the Dankness so I didn't risk it after that.
I'm going to miss this tier for assassination....
You can also use a focus macro with step
For some reason the warrior and I who do it always end up using a priest
Try not to use a shadow priest though since they might get marked and start talking gibberish
if i have 4 CB should i mutilate or what ?
then what should i do @lean hill
you spend the combo points
u mean evenom at 4 cb?
rupture works aswell
so, I only recently leveled my rogue and have been enjoying it a lot. Decided to attempt the mage towers and have been gearing for it. 2nd leggo is the ravenholdt ring. is it any good for assa?
Not the worst legendary, there is a build that uses it but it is pretty gear-specific
if you;ve had alone in the darkness trigger twice, you;re not stepping quick enough
does leeching poison work on beta?
Yes.
Well, the effect works on Beta, it was rolled into Offensive Poisons recently.
Unless it's broken, which it didn't seem like.
Should be part of Deadly/Wound Poison now.
ye
I've heard that seeping scourgewing (trinket from Vari) is one of rogue's most coveted items. is this true?
Not for sin. Outlaw potentially yes if your cof is low in ilvl.
you want a shadowsinged fang, except you get a high tf on older trinkets
hmmm
Yeah like
well, I think its still better than the gorsh's legacy that I have, even if scourgewing is 5 ilvl lower
No reason to guess, run it through Raidbots and see what comes up ahead.
I do think that you are right though.
- Get ready to lose them.
- Get ready to be freed from them.
I both love and hate the shoulders. I hated the fact that I just got them last July, but I love the damage they can bring...
I had to suffer getting garbage leggos at the start of Legion ๐ฆ
took me less than an hour, thats pretty quick right?
it's been awhile since I got that appearance but I think i spent around 30 mins in the sewers to get them?
some comments on wowhead said 20 hours so i was pretty surprised
ahh makes sense
1-3 hours seems about the right amount of time if you are getting a good amount of rares.
Hello im trying out Sin, and using Aethys Rotation addon for sin as a guideline. The addon seem to be using vanish very conservative. There are time I got vanish ready but it wont recommend using it, untill Vandetta are up, I think it delays up to 20 sec or so, it feels alot. Another question regarding the addon, does it properly take in pooling in consderation to the rotation aswell? One thing is to check what to do next, the other thing is to know when to do it, and not just end up pressing it prematurely
SIN GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <--SIN GUIDE HERE
My question was more related to the addon, I will wait
Well you use vanish with Mantle very conservatively (as stated in the guide) due to how much damage you can get from a Vanish Mantle window.
and;
IIRC, the addon uses the SIMC example output as a guide so there's no pooling.
Ahh ok thank you

Assassination question! Why use Nightstalker over Subterfuge if stealth speed isn't an issue? Subterfuge's big Garrote buff seems to heavily outweight the 50% bonus on anything with Nightstalker.
emphasis being on "seems", because it turns out that its fairly close in value
subterfuge is usually ahead when you dont run mantle
wheres if you do, nightstalker usually takes the cake because you can get a 100% crit NS envenom out of it every time, which crits for like 9mil depending on gear
Would you open with Mutilate for that 50% bonus?
What?
why?
you use the ability that does the most damage per execute
since only that one will receive the 50% damage bonus
KB being an exception becasue it recalculates its damage whenever a lethal poison is applied, which for some reason cancels out the NS bonus
Can't open with anything bigger unless it's after a vanish with max points.
The DMG calc. is updated, therefore losing the buff from the original application.
literally every single ability deals more damage per execute than mutilate
Kingsbane and Hemorrhage are weaker
its the same guy asking in basic before why doesnt sub with subterfuge stack haste so yeah
its because its all been mathed out before you
We spent 2 years sitting on our hands.
Kingsbane would do more damage if the DoT is affected by the 50%. Is this so?
like, this is a picture of one of my recent sims, showing pure damage per execute, which is all that matters when looking at what is worth Nightstalkering
It doesn't, as the DoT comes after the damage from the KB.
kingsbane doesnt work, for the reasons mentioned earlier
so the next best spell that you want to night-stalker snapshot with is rupture
keep in mind that this is without shoulders, with shoulders that looks a bit different
Thanks for the graph. Good to know that Garrote does more with the 50%.
more than what?
Without Mantle.
In my thinking, Rupture wasn't possible since I was considering opening, rather than mid-combat Vanish.
are we looking at the same graph?
Simple question here which I don't think is explicitly covered in the guide. Should I avoid using envenom if the buff is already up, mantle buff isn't up, and I won't energy cap? Also is there a pandemic window for the envenom buff?
i mean yes, on the opener you use garrote
it also gets the 50% bonus, which obviously isnt as big as the 125% from subterfuge, but mid-combat you either nightstalker envenom or rutpure, depending on legendary choice
and keep in mind that the actual length of the graph isnt indicative of their relativ value, mutilate/fok are at like 750-800k while envenom is at 2.2mil
ideally you just sim yourself and have a look at the damage per execute values yourself
you may want to just not talent garrote nor subterfuge to see the actual numbers
and then compare them
im looking through wowhead.... is it just me, or has there been 0 "rogue BFA class feedbacks" i think ive seens minimum 1 from every spec already =/
haven't gotten to us yet
theyll make a joke about how they couldnt find us to talk to us about our feedback because we were in stealth, and just let everything go live the way it is right now
Kappa
the sad part is that that could actually be happening though
blizz loves to make these kind of jokes ๐ฆ
We're going to be crap for a full raid tier
well
even when we actually were supershit back at the start of cata
we still had our uses on a couple of bosses
so i wouldnt be too worried
Didn't sub get a feedback post on wowhead that took SoD off GCD?
you are correct i was jst looking at that before i looked back here
sub did get one of those, yes, but it certainly wasnt as indepth as the others have been
i googled Rogue BFA feedback
guess i missed it
http://www.wowhead.com/news=284202/subtlety-rogue-snare-battle-for-azeroth-beta-feedback-for-may-7th
still no sin/chadlaws =/
i mean yeah
it basically was
"sod on gcd was bad, we changed it, and your slow isnt completely wonky now"
Yeah
I'm def not saying it was a gamechanger
But I think it was one of the first ones they did, super early
well, they basically wrote 2 lines about sod being off the gcd
and then took one of the least important issues sub had during that time
and made it the rest of their "sub feedback"
Would be nice to see another pass once they get sec tec working and tested
combat is doing fine right now, i think its in a good place and has received quite a bit of attention
But it's really just appeasement
but im growing more weary every week we get closer to release, because looking at the classes and certain specs right now at beta, i feel there is A LOT of work to be done and we barely have a little more than 2months left for that
and i dont want to be a guinea pig.... again
I'm too far addicted to wow. I'll always find stuff I enjoy. As long as they get the tuning done in a timely manner im fine. I don't like meta changes every week constantly for a month+
tbf I don't think assassination is in that bad of a spot on beta right now
yeah, but that's typical
rogues don't usually feel that good or fast at the start of an expansion
hahaha
Biggest thing I wish blizz would do would buff venomous wounds to 10 energy a tick
