yea mine is as well.. haste is just yummy 🤷
for aoe tho?
considering garrote, yea prob
whats ur haste at
so what's the point of garoteing twice after vanish in the opener
im at 838 xd
pandemic effect
it lasts longer
ss still bugged right
Will test it tomorrow after reset and see if it was fixed.
hello guys
quick question anout sin in m+
not sure if guide is updated
so for multi target stats crit mastery > haste vers ?
or things changed
i too have a severe lack of haste
@torn coyote pretty much
@frigid lagoon if it was fixed
get crit for smoother rotation on trash, mastery scales the majority of your damage best, dont dump haste/vers completely
i just stack crit and aim for fairly balanced haste/vers/mast values
just represented assassination nicely on our guilds first g'huun https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3pZf1jnC7gR2xkAM/#fight=last&type=damage-done
since its basically haste>vers>mastery on ST and mastery>vers>haste on aoe
probably running orbs or something whole time
5 people below the blood dk and i assume you don't have 5 different people running orbs
!opener
thanks for answers
SIN BFA GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <-- SIN GUIDE HERE
guys if you’re below the tank because of orbs, something else is going on
So what’s the Assassination play on G’huun? Just pump ruptures on tentacles?
I was 2nd on G'huun yesterday, and I was running orbs
People in my guild are really bad.
thnx
is darkmoon fathom the best in slot for sin?
Bis until you get a 385 to replace it
yeah I probably wouldn't use that much of your gold on it tbh
Hey fellas, is it beneficial to pool energy for Elaborate Planning? If so, how big of a deal is it?
Seems like something you always want to pool for
(I check guides on several sites and was surprised to not see it mentioned at all)
would you guys use laser matrix or twist the knife on sin in arena for azerite traits?
is raidbots updated for nerfs? or it showing current sims?
updated
@stark garnet Envenom uptime is what you are aiming for EP comes along the way, if you are going to energy cap you can rupture or anything
hmm
hERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
i sim 500 more as sub still 👼 @frigid lagoon sin probably better on like vectis at least
wonder how soon theyll nerf that garrote trait
wasnt in the hotfixes now
yeah mines 13350
you have a sick trinket and more haste gear/gems
@kindred flame got it thank you
i cba to change all the time so i just have crit gems
i dont think the raid drops any garrote traits tho
Fetid chest
yea
drops 2 good sub ones
inevit and bits pieces
ye but its still bis in st isnt it?
You'll see top rogues swapping between sub and sin depending on the fight and/or their job. They're gonna be close enough that you can play whichever you prefer and be at about the same level tho
sin i think is more flexible on mythrax
maybe zul
i played sub on mythrax last week and outlaw on zul
outlaw seems best for zek/zul/mythrax/ghuun tbh
but i think dotting up all the mind flay adds will be better
well subtract -5% damage and -20% from deadshot and assassin looks more attractive for those fights
zek i think outlaw will still be super strong
Sin with iron wire is super good on zek
sub is a little better than sin for me pure single target but they are close.
try exsang
and i think on like taloc the find weakness will be really good
yeah its like 30 dps difference
I see sub being the play on taloc ya
yeah i will prob still play sub on taloc/mother
playing sin on mother would be depressing
you would just sit there in the rooms not even mfd-eviscerating
doubt it
another fight where they had an idea and that idea was a bad idea but they just made it anyway
Optimal usage of Galecaller's Boon? Use it on CD? or is it worth trying to wait a few seconds to align with exsanguinate if they're close to eachother
1m
oh
on galecaller
hey so i havent tried it yet but wouldnt SS sin in dungeons where you cant just afk aoe zzzz be really good? couldnt i start every mob pull with 3x buffed garrotes?
You want it to line with your 2nd vendetta/exang so on cd is probably the play
gotcha, thanks
getting two imminent ruins during hero 
hello there
Sin is incredibly strong in dungeon ya. Most dungeons I think its bis, which I'm surprised by. I expected sub to just be the play always
But sin is so consistent
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
its just garrote trait really
when its 35 % of your damage
it might be a bit op
High level m+ (I’m talking 10+) aoe fok with deadlypoisons melt trash
i mean blade flurry replicates all your abilities
yeah i read it last night
still not sure if i should take poison bomb or crimson tempest
You’re basically kiting and aoeing at same time
Anyone have a empowered garrote WA they could share?
@strange python uhh why doesnt it say that in the tooltip? thats kind of important
I was in the poison bomb camp for most of the week but I think ct has won be over
@limpid willow idk ask blizz
same dad, felt pretty nice during keys today
!sin
idk if its worth to use on 3
Just spamming 5s but had an underrot I ended with 17k overall with ct
but on 4 it is imo
I think that was when I officially became a fan
what was your typical opener on packs dad? I was doing garrote x3 into ct but not sure if thats right
I drop a rupture before fok ct
depends on size tho
Too starved without the extra energy
But ya, if the pack is like 6+ ct before rup prolly good
Theres no like answer I dont think, it's all pack specific
Always 3 garrote and then from there you kinda adapt
https://i.imgur.com/eTAVRQS.png
i have accepted the path
though imma still totes run outlaw in a few uldir fights
is there a bispecialization role
imagine how aids its going to be
to maintain 3 specs with 370-385 azerite pieces
because respeccing is actually just not viable to do
Just drop outlaw 4head
Pad dmg btw :) I'll take 6 second silence on add tyvm
so fan of knives and CT both apply poisons at normal rates? 🤔
yeah pretty sure
yep it does
yeah it seems to be normal rate
first pic was just lucky https://i.imgur.com/hO1cN1L.png
i dont get it. im at 900 haste, and haste is still better then agi for AOE...
only 20% crit, 29% mastery left cuz im putting everything into haste
1k haste*
haste shouldnt be better than agi for aoe
Toxic > Exsang regardless of what simc is saying?
does the reorigination array uldir buff stack
Gets better over time IIRC.
does ashine stream?

lol moroes is back
isnt crit/mastery WAY better then haste? i dont get it
Was
not anymore
Nto at the current point in Stats
try simming 3-4 bosses instead of hectic add cleave
4 bosses, i believe hectic add cleave is based off of fights like Horridon in Throne of Thunder
You aren’t alone silence 🤣
so... would u go haste or crit mastery? xd
in my eyes mastery makes more sense, but idk
crit/mastery for m+, haste/crit for single target
can exsang be dodged/parried?
ye
well usually have 2 sets, 1 for raiding mainly st and other for m+ mainly crit/mastery
Yeah that there hectic cleave, hmmm
i think raidbots is broke
lel
i have so much hast
and still over agi, that cant be right
mfd ...?
im running vigor
oh
adds in hectic add cleave are not long-lived enough for you to get dots up and ticking for sustained energy returns, so haste has more value in that sim
does anyone use a garrote / rupture macro?
well with 4 adds constantly alive you basically don't need haste because you're always capped energy if you spread stuff correctly
MFD is better on the hectic cleave APL due to the add count and time between their spawn.
how long do adds "live" in the hecti add cleave sim
40~60s 4 bosses should be better for simming a trash pack pull, maybe?
15 seconds or so
ok
so ive never played sin before
literally ever
i hit a training dummy and then a +5
im happy with the results
it's great
oy how do you activate that graph
i think i deactivated mine
can't find back
idk details is doing it automatically. i never turned it off
gotta install the plugin i think
o shit
Yep, haha.
I just play meme maghar
To remind me of roll the bones
R.I.P
Should really use dice as well for the full meme experience, don't lose a lot of damage
Does shadowmeld let you pop another stealth buffed garrote?
No
Shadowmeld in outdoor/pvp environments drops combat so you can stealth and then garrote
Ah gotcha
but you cannot drop combat mid-fight against a boss if the rest of your group is still in combat
Yeah makes sense, ty for the explanation
my graph only pops up after the end of the dungeon
is fan of knifes, little bugged with poisons?
bugged how
%chance
oh
Like it says on the tooltip.
i dont see it mentioning a chances
okay 
So is tb the go to right now or is exsang? Or are they close enough that it doesn’t matter what you take, it’s just preference. Or should I just sim and go from there?
Thanks will do
Mine are within 100 dps of each other, but I prefer exsang so rolling with that
It’s insane on bosses in m+ where you hero
Are you guys thinking sin is going to be the go to M+ spec after tomorrow?
so how long before shrouded suffocation gets nerfed
Yes fiesta, all specs will still be fine tho just depends on what grp needs
You literally answered your question yourself
i'm abit confused about when to use exsang in the opener? the guides in the pins don't talk about it
Garrote rupture garrote vendetta mut rupture exsang
Its in the sin guide on ravenholdt
I'm assuming 3x SS trait is required for Exsg to possibly beat out TB in single target, is that correct
I'm confused as to why we rupture twice in the opener. New to sin btw :/
First rupture is 3 cp 2nd is 5 so iTs longer duration on exsang
I believe 3x is required yes
cool thanks
For dungeons 3x pulls way ahead of anything
Hi Guys I'm a Former Outlaw PLayer, I Want To be Assassination PLayer Now.
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
so mythic plus just spam fok?
i see the top assassin rogues on raider.io using poison bomb instead of crimson tempest
pb consistently does 3%, 4% tops on overall damage through a regular dungeon
assuming no wipes and no mindless pulling/deaths, CT can pull 8~12%
FOK spreads your poison and generates more combo points than anything else, then you multidot
The combination of the poison applied by your FOK plus your dot bleed energy refund is how you get like a massive energy gen to keep FOK spamming
Crimson tempest also applies them just depends
^
U dont use ct for in st right?
Nop
yea spam FoK and rupt everything u can, btw do you think we need to garrot add too ? or just rupt ?
when it says garrote-rupture-garrote, I take it you're waiting for the original garrote to fall off or just overwriting?
Opener on 3+ adds in to triple garrote out of stealth
Try to maintain best u can after that
Over writing
@bleak river that's for single target
you apply garrote, rupture, then when subterfuge is almost ending, apply garrote again to extend
2 targets garrote rupture garrote rupture, 3 targets triple garrote ct
wait i just watched a video are we the only rogue specc that wont get a nerf
really dumb question
is there a reason we use deadly and quick navigation enchants?
and not double quick?
or am i just bad?
@nimble gulch yea why
Cant have double quick buff
gotcha thats what i thought, but wasn't seeing anything in the tooltip saying otherwise online
😅i thought they would nerf ss
Yea idk it technically can proc more? But still not worth
um
nah ss mainly decent for m+
they should fix ss :/
better traits for raiding are out there
😂😂 now probably 60% of sub rogues will play assa
crimson tempest and just rupture all mobs?
3+ targets = garrote x3, crimson tempest, fok rupture all
@vital crater if youo got 3x SS you garrote 3x out of subterfuge first, then ct/rupture all mobs
Maintain garrote as it falls off best as possible
but only after the empowered fall off right? the bug still exist no?
bug still there
Mhm
i only have 2ss sadly lol
well it should be the same
still need to look for the head
just not as stronk as 3x
that gives ss
if theres a priority mob you can 3x garrote, rupture, exang priority, then fok crimson
2 ss still 3x garrote
thats pretty good too
I wld still ct first personally
@vital crater the head is from shrine
3 ss traits with exsang build gives crazy burst
What’s nameplates you guys use to track your dots? Any specific ones for rogue?
standard elvui 😄
Threat plates
Threat plates > tidy plates?
Preference
Cool
can someone explain me how the trinket dead-eye spyglass works? if i hit 3 mobs and 2 trigger the effect, do i get 2 stacks of 5 or 2x 1 stack of 5?
dont have the trinket so i cant test
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation

still no fix? 😦
Still no fix
Sorry if this is a really stupid question.. but don’t you 3x Garrote the same target with SS? If so, why? I’m looking at switching, and never played Sin, sorry for the noob question
Do you *
No
In st you garrote rupture garrote for your opener, 3x combo points from them, more dmg less energy
Ah, that makes sense
Also extends duration of first for more dmg
why garrotee again?
And say if it’s AoE.. just Garrote 3 separate mobs?
Yes on 3+ mobs
Gotcha, thanks!
Garrote again to refresh duration while still having subterfuge dmg buff
Perfect, cheers
It's not only refreshing duration but extending
One last question... how are you using Exsanguinate outside of your opener? On CD when a fresh Garrote and Rupture have been applied?
Alright, thanks, think I’ve got all I need to know, just need to put it into practice
Np gl
Depends on gear
i'll have to check mine
Mine is like 50dps diff
k
Not sure exactly on break point.
kind of dumb that garrote is 35% of overall dmg
if they touch the trait
this spec is done for
Yup
which is scary
Always have a backup spec with rogues lmao
Yea i have to have all 3 prepared
It’s kinda frustrating though
One week this nerf
Next week another spec nerf
I only have 340 weap for outlaw compared to 365/355 daggers..... thats my problem haha
Prob stick to one spec even after nerf now
Not too frustrating if you are prepared to play different specs for different scenarios
I honestly dont see them touching the specs after mythic starts unless something is bugged
Really the only thing that's is annoying is to remember to adjust loot spec to the boss you are fighting
Sticking to Outlaw and Sin because Sub is confusing as hell to me.
Fair enough
Sin you pool alot
I played sin throughout legion, so it's second nature
Sub is the true rogue life, but currently really enjoy assa
Im a sub main but sin going to b best for alot of prog i think.
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about sub. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but it wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
So ive been doing that past few days
Lol
Sin is rly fun in certain dungeons.
i feel like i do more dps as sub in mythic plus
Dmg in kings rest is dumb
I have the same feeling for now @pearl meteor seems their eyes are all on sub and outlaw, while assa moves below the radar
I did 17.8k overall in my last kr
Na not the oozes
Most pulls are 3x targets
So op for triple ss
Sin will be back up on the radar soon
its annoying how i have to respec my azerith tho
SS = ?
That is annoying? Be happy that is a thing
Sub is fun though
Imagine you can't reset your traits
well its better then the legion shit
Ahh. Haven't been lucky enough to get gear with that trait
🤷 my guild did all leather runs etc first week so we cld get azerite needed
Have all 3 specs in diff azerite pieces
Nice guild
you couldnt trade azerite for the first 2 weeks though
how we feeling about the champs of azeroth chest vs 340 deathsnap?
Sucks
Pls gaben
😃
that ranking site says the coa chest is better but... ss
Let me open a 375 SS trait tomorrow
Depends i guess
I have 370 azeritr from heroic and still use 340 ss in dungeons
Have you?
yea, it's karma for screwing me over this far in bfa
I thought chest was capped at 370
It's actually so lame I can't even open my weekly chest until 9 pm cause I'm at school all day
Nah it's 385
380 normal 385 azerite
Oh
Is there a database for BiS gear for each spec?
If you did a 10
isnt it 3x 385 pieces?
1-3
oh shi
U have a chance
Wait it's a chance of 1-3
Base ilvl is 380
my guild is selling +10 boosts for 2mil
I already know it
its op
2mil!? 💀
Is that in time ronge? Lol
nah
How do people even set that up
but people are greedy rn
Grp finder / trade
Ic
"alright then!"
lol
The highest I was able to do was a 7 key
I'll give you all my 50k @ronge 😘
I thought selling through group finder is kinda prohibited now
it is
Ok so do i always need 4 cp for envenom ?
Ya
4+
Got a 355 Leech Loyalties ring.
Is rupture okay at 4 too?
so i guess im always going for 4 basically to keep up ep?
5cp b4 exsang
Ya
3x ss and exsang is so cute
meh, we still have toolkit
Sin is untouched tho
Sub is still good and so is outlaw
Yeah but I'm assuming a lot of others are coming in from other specs
They just brought them down closer to sin
Trying out sin
I did because I don't want to pve and pvp in different specs
After nerfs
Not because of the 5% nerfs
<- outlaw rogue who is switching to sin because i would need to get another set of azerite traits to keep playing outlaw anyways
anyone know how to sim maghar on raidbots?
U N D E A D P R I D E
B a blood elf 😃
??
Yikes
dumb question but can someone give me a quick rundown on sin talents?
wowsers
I'm asking because I'm already Maghar
but keep simming as Orc because I can't get maghar to work
the simc input doesnt work
simming races in 2k18 x(D)
You probably have better luck using actual simc rather than raidbots
relative difference between races is so small you'd rather not see that on meters
Well yeah considering Maghar shits out secondaries, but Orc shits out AP
I'm interested to know if it makes any weights difference
@oblique pendant get with the times swigga
theres actually around 2% variance between best and worst race
🤷
is there a big diff between say 11% and 16% haste?
changing races doesn't make u skilled and topping the meters tho
changing races from goblin to troll gives you 2% more dps
Really?
Mhm
like you would notice that xD
16% is about a 45% difference from 11% i think
bruh srsly
@pearl meteor you run iron wire?
you definitely notice it
its not like haste isnt the bis stat for sin
Raid is w.e
its not like it works really well with exsang
Its mostly for the tank tho @hazy dune
Right now toxic blade is simming slightly higher than exsang for me, but I'm at 2 ss traits. Would the 3rd trait push it over?
@pearl meteor what about tb or exsan
Depends on ur haste
only 14 rn
Exsang has a much higher value of haste even tho its bis for both
Exsang better for dungeons but raid its pref
thanks for the help bro appreciate it

Anyone know of an addon/WA to track Sharpned Blade easier?
Make a WA for it
Thankyou man
guys after the initial 3 garrotes on trash
do we apply rupture with the 5 combo
or ct
Ct
Whats ct?
crimson tempest
ashine is streaming, you could just watch him 😉 (not atm)
Ct loses value the higher u go
whats his twitch?
10 or lower go ct
/ashinee
do you mean like m+ or amount of targets?
because it seems like poison bomb could still be handy if your group lacks boss damage
is that a good assumption?
Ashine was specced into CT for freehold 16 i think
Ashine was using CT on Freehold +16, how does it loses value ?
Isn't CT better than envenom on 2 target?
Depends on ur st for bosses in ur gro grou
Any fort week i wld run ct
100% of the time
Dont think so mercer
Doesnt do much
True that in Tyrannical you may want the extra dps in ST from Poison Bomb
Just depends on grp rly
63% ap vs 80% ap?
is that adding in the bonus chance to reapply poisons?
because im pretty sure the envenom buff applies to CT and shuriken toss poison application right
no
"grab poison bomb for single target on tyranical weeks" is that what you imply? I mean poison bomb is such a rng clownfiesta
Depends on what your group needs anyway
Well if my comp have enough cleave / burst aoe I won't be speccing CT
hmm tbh even if you're playing in a heave cleave group its worth to compare direct runs with ct and poison bomb to know what deals more overall dmg.
Overall ct will be more most of the time no matter grp comp.
Yeah, I think you're right about 2 target skipping ct.
On dungeons with little trash or trash with 1 main guy and smaller ho adds
I mean even in a tyranical week it can happen that poison bomb deals little to no dmg cus of rng to bosses and you would be better off killing trash faster
on dungeons with little trash and one main guy you'll want play sub tbh
poison bomb is what, 1.75%AP damage per combo point spent?
44 * .04
[5:19 AM] Mousha: True that in Tyrannical you may want the extra dps in ST from Poison Bomb
"extra"
seriously think not worth it with how pb is now
barely a difference at all
with 1 main guy and smaller adds per pack your tank should be pulling more
PB is not worth it with Sang/Necrotic because tanks have to kite a lot
the only reason to pick pb over ct is if you really don't like the ct gameplay because even with a slow tank it's much easier to do more damage with ct than pb
is there any way to track exsanguinate empowered rupture/garrotes in weakauras so i dont accidentally overwrite?
@soft wave i saw some weakaura about it a few days ago dunno which one tho
@frigid lagoon also there's many runs that aren't being recorded on raider io. leaderboard on blizz side is kinda fucked up or something
you can just look at the vod's https://www.twitch.tv/ashinee/videos/all
Isn't it exsanguinate a debuff on the target that accelerates the bleed ticks on the target, or is that just bad wording and it actually changes the bleeds?
-it
it alters the bleed, i dont see an exsanguinate debuff
So it's shitty wording again
Here is a question for you: Is stacking SS more important than simming? I keep seeing top logs and others stacking SS, but my gear sims higher with other pieces, even with equal ilvl. Just wondering if sims take into account this?
@next summit m+ or raiding?

Shrouded Suffocation

Ffs how long do they need to fix this
They'll nerf the trait before they fix it lol
Probably
careful what you wish for, odds are they'll "accidentally" nerf SS during the fix
The bug is on multi target right ?
Question about the rotation. Why it says that when u open from stealth with garrotte, you then cast right after rupture, and then your second garrotte. I am not undestanding why that rupture between the garrottes, as u should be low on combo point at that point if not specced with mark of death talent? Might have misunderstood something there. Why not go with garrotte,garrotte,mutilate,rupture? The gyide i am refering is the ravenholt one wit at least one ss talent and single mob. Ty all 😊
shrouded suffocation makes garrote give 3 cp
so on singlet arget you garrote (3cp) > rupture (0cp) > garrote (3cp) to extend the already empowered garrote to its maximum duration
no cp overcap
isnt garrot 2 cp
Aah nice ofc
😄 ok nvm then
but wouldnt that be bad cause rup would have less time then with 5cp
i mean overcaping one cp is barly noticeable
the point is having the garrote up for as long as possible
i just switched to sin for the first time after outlaw and have no daggers whats a quick way to get some
@rigid pewter pvp reward maybe?
hmm
Mythic dungeons?
well with garrote garrot rup it will be as long as garote rup garrote
Mother have a nice dagger also
garrote garrote rup lasts less, specially if you try to minmax and cast garrote on the very last second of subterfuge
ahh ok
tho the difference shouldn't be noticeable
garrote (18s) > garrote ( 17s+pandemic = 23.4s) > rupture ( garrote 22.4s)
vs.
garrote (18s) >rupture (garrote 17s) > garrote (23.4s)
no clue if that extra sec gives an extra tick or not tho
3x is sexy
yeah but then u have less time on rup since u only used 3 cp
finished the first freehold+5 boss with 25k on meters
does the garrote bug happen when you put up and 4th garrote or when you put up a garrote outside of Subterfuge when you have empowered garrotes already up?
Fwiw the 2 gcds after the 2nd garrote are muti rupture
So you get full rupture full garrote then hit exsanf
Outside or subterfuge
Exsang*
ty @crimson basin, thats what i thought
you need to check sim's apl to see exactly why, but i can only assume it's because the extra overcapped cp and the lack of a rupture casted 1s early would hurt the vendetta window burst somehow?
that's too minmax to be an issue
3cp rupture helps to have 100% uptime on EP I guess
if you play DS tho you might have a point, or not, not sure
^^^that too
ep 100% up during empowered garrotes is likely a must
i do that atleast
XD hm confusing
i guess ill stay with the garrote garote rup since for some reason i get like 5k more dps
5k?
yeah since i dont have to refresh rupture so early and have cp and energie for envenom to fill in
Garrote, rup, garrote sets up for pandemic rupture for exsang tho
But arent you supposed to mutilate and rupture after the second garrote to get pandemic rupture anyways
a quick way to solve this would be to check the top performers on wlogs too
well dont matter cause more cp just makes the dot long not higher dmg
Btw you should try exsang, it's great 😅
@nimble gulch thats exacly what you awnt
hmm ill try it later
longer dot damage for a longer exsang
the opener is all about setting up a max timed exsang
He just said he's not playing exsang
yeah but why waste cp and energie on a early refrsh of rupture if u can have a line up dot with garrote so u have place to fit in envenoms
you want exsang off cd asap also
should exsang sim more dps on 5min flickwerk or is it only for m+ trash ?
XD i dont play exsang i playTB
Fits more rupture ticks into vendetta.
@safe root
heck if i know, ep uptime/no cp overcap/energy from rupture ticking early perhaps, or not
But do we use exsang on CD like toxic blades on a pure ST fight ?
u use exsang after ur bleed dots
Anyone tried exsang in m+?
Yes. It's good
So whenever it's up, refresh bleeds and exsang ?
@safe root all good but ill give it a try later
Is exsang better than TB atm? Sry havnt incestens time into assa yet
I prefer TB due to shorter CD and mobs won’t live long enough even on 7-9 keys
Think of TB as a rotation skill, exsang as a dps cooldown
i mean burst wise is exsang the top one
@fallow sky they certainly do live long enough, esp with fortified
but TB is a good fitment into rotation
@delicate root with outlul and arms not so much 😂
Also if u play with exsang do you still garrote 3 targets? Or just 2 bc of pandemic
i miss old blade flurry
i burst quite high on exsang, my logs aren't the best and i fucked up a fair bit but this is what my mother looked like https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/A7GDzTmcBMkvjPFK#fight=5&type=damage-done&source=24
as compraed to TB
Well obviously on the packs where outlaw and arms shine, exsang isn't going to. ie low hp large packs
I use sharpened blades
for fights like zekvoz / zul where there is high aoe but things die fast, what is my go-to rotation
what Exsang means guy ?
Its a trait
but how do you enter that in the rotation xD
45sec cooldown
It's a talent in your talent tree
And all bleeds go away double speed
exsang gives amazing burst
ok
if you have 3 SS
Does SS deal the damage per tick or total?
per tick
i was wondering about that also @strange python i personally switch to outlaw for zul, but im wondering if its worth opening with 3x garrote on 3 adds, vanishing and then applying around 3 garrotes then continue normal rotation once adds cleared
Wtf
but i'm not sure if the adds will live long enough on the initial pull
You can use garrote 4 times
to make the garrotes worht while
1 without stealth buff
SS is bugged tho
But 3 with
So don't do that
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
SS bugged yes
but yes, in an ideal world without that bug you're right 4 would be better before vanish
I see
hmm ok, i might try get some weapons that arnt daggers for those fights if outlaw will be better off
I dont use SS due to not getting any
but doubt the adds on hc live long enough, maye mythic ?
i was considering just bursting the bigger targets and using the small stuff for FoK only

i sim exang build and my stats weight is haste>agility>crit>etc
Wtf
in hc that might be the approach i take if i decide to try assas instead of outlaw again Hex, full bleeds on the crusher, hexdrinker and zul while fok the crawgs
How much haste dp you have
17%
And what ilvl is your weapon
yea ash i will give that a shot next time, cheers
Hmm not sure why haste is worth that much
Bleed ticks
but higher than agi ?
so bassicaly , is Assa best rogue spec overall atm ?
is the headpiece with SS only from Shrine lol?
can't remember where i got my headfrom, but i got lucky in hc this week and got the 370 SS chest
I have x3 Fan Of Knifes Traits , Is it Any good Guys ?
For aoe maybe
The legendary Benz
God bless
You guys are going to be enlightened
Benz is ace up your sleeve the best
@wide gale
ah yeah i remember him from outlaw chan
I Want To Play Assasination now
Ss chest is Fetid
OutLaw Feels Weak
wait till tomorrow for deadeye nerfs then it'llf feel even weaker :P
Benz I think you’d make a great assassin
stack benz up your sleeve traits
you are plaing dungeons with exa and poison bomb or crimson tempest ?
Lottie You Are Cute
Damn he’s flirting with you
i normally play with another outlaw rogue or havoc dh, so most of time i just stick with exa and PB instead of CT on majority of dungeons
as they blow trash up
Dunno but ct is goodh
but ya depends, i switch between em quite often for m+
Still with necro u need kite ads atc so ct is better, but its my opinion
cool, oh yeah if you run assas on mythrax try not to use crippling posion, your raid will get angry at you when getting them out of cc balls :P
yeah i sim better with vigor, plus it feels nicer to play for me personally
We use Hunter and dk grip for myhtrax
nice, yeah we normally are priest heavy and only 1 dk 1 hunter so leap of faith is great there
After the nerf what spec is now taking the lead you guys think?
engr enchant can work too
Sub i guess
has the US guys got the class tuning yet?
@jaunty arrow sub i see. Should farm for that spec and try it out. But in M+ I Cant do aoe whit it
Does Crimson tempest work with exsang ?
Yes
Ok
for me crimson tempest feels so bad
SIn high m + is it worth applying your bleed on bunch of adds and exsang or just CT and exsang directly ?
Exsang just CT on its own? That seems like a bad idea 😅
When garrote is so insane
depending on numbre of adds, i bleed them all for that dope energy regen and envenom spam, but odn't like CT can't say, but ya i wouldn't exsang on its own i would do it on a fully bled target which won't die before the exsang'd bleeds fall off
Also I get the impression you think exsang is aoe
It doesn't buff ALL your bleeds ? Just the current target ?
It says so directly in the tooltip
so can anyone explain bassicaly , when do i use Exsang ?
^
Also it's not a buff to bleeds. It just makes them tick faster
Better with garotte from stealth
the idea is to make exsang'd bleeds to last as long as possible, that is why you get max duration on your garrote/rupture
Its like bleed burst 
Yeah yeah got that point
yeah max duration garrote when buffed via subterfuge alongside max duration rupture is crazy damage
Thought it would work on all applied bleeds, I was wrong
Hello anyonw has a good addon to track BiS dor assassiantion?
wa
hey guys!
i got a quick question:
how important is it still to cast at least 2 envenom spells during toxic blade duration? i usually got to reapply my rupture inside that windows and can only use 1 envenom.
greetings
Just use tb on cd
@jaunty arrow i do mate, but thats not my actual question
Ofc u can hold cd but its not that worth
@ @hot flume it does work on all applied bleeds, for instance KS bleed if talented
Cd is low so w/e ofc more envenom into tb is better
i would think re-applying your rupture will trump an envenom in the TB window, but i don't play TB so take with pinch of salt
(assuming your rupture has dropped)
Is there a way to know what mobs can/can't be stunned in raids/m+?
Priority is not letting rupt expire so ofc > rupt 》 env if rupt is almost gone in any situation ( unless the target is almost dead then by all means go for Env )
@safe root i have two options:
#1: applying two casts of envenom, but rupture runs out and i apply it later on
#2: applying only one cast of enveom and refresh rupture too while TB
i'd personalyl go #2, you want your ruptue up close to 100% uptime, the dmg plus energy regen is great
Hey guys, In big aoe pulls should I just after the 3 empowered garrotes start spamming fok and rupture on any mob that I can or should I just spam Fok /TB / Envenom for example after 3 ruptures applied to mobs?
darkstalker explained it best above
@jagged elk
if the adds will live long enough you could do 3x garrotes vanish another 3x garrotes for 6x empowered garrotes
Bleed all than envenom 
ok ty very much guys!!
Allright, thanks.
3x garotte coz insane dmg + ct + fok for cp on rup atc
And enjoy your insane garotte dmg 
Is Poison Bomb not worth, because I see for example Fragnance running it?
I have not tried CT, but I honestly should try that aswell..
Hi all, cant seem to find the logic to garrote with shrouded suff beyond the opener. Why do we cast multiple garrotes beyond refreshing debuff and when do we do this?
I like ct more coz necro kite for example and sanguin
I don't understand why you do Garrote -> Rupture -> Garrote. I thought the point of Garrote is that it applies a DoT? Why would I reapply the DoT when I just applied it in the opener?
For the exsang opener? You want the highest duration garrote before you cast exsang
And sitting on exsang too long is worse than clipping
whats best enchant ments and gems for assa
so my laser matrix only sims 40 dps lower than my 3rd shrouded suffocation with exsang, the sims dont take into account reorgination array right? so id get 75 haste on top of that thinking its actually better than the 3rd 🤔
you need to garrot multiple time for pandemic

@nimble tartan u need atleast 1 ss
ye
@low nymph so the opener breakdown. Empowered garrote, rupture(triggers 2nd blees effect and elaborate planning damage buff) 2nd garrote still inside subterfuge window gives thr pandemic effect (a longer than baseline empowered garrote duration plus thr additional tick between the rupture and reapplication) you then vendetta to give the next damage buff mutilate and 5 cp rupture for maximum panemdic timer and hit exang
Garrote will fall off and you vanish garrote twice for max empoweres garrote duration again. And then when rupture falls off you re apply rupture
What I was curious about
You dont ever overlap the empoweres garrotea wait for the last tick to fall off
You know when vanish and vendetta are coming off cd
Do you want to get a pandemic'd rupture too?
So rupture before vanish, then vanish g g r vendetta exsang
Or?
What does the apl do
@rough knoll i always ensure i have both at pandemic. Its easy with ss you vanish when rupture is on 9-10 seconds, garrore garrote rupture due to global cds will drop to close to 6 seconds. Thr garrote duration prior to vanish is irrelevant unless on multi targets
Okay so try to cast a rupture when?
To make it around 9-10 seconds left
How long left on vendetta roughly
Garrotes should be used at 9-10. As it takes almost 3 seconds to use the subetrfuge window up
