every really common trait is good as outlaw
but why compare bis assa to non bis outlaw
I've never been forced into snake eyes or Paradise Lost
either compare bis vs bis or dont compare
because outlaw doesn't need to be bis to outperform sin
I really dislike the outlaw vs assa troll stuff in this discord
there's no vs
outlaw has a niche that is much easier to gear for
I enjoy both specs, there is no vs lol
I'm done talking
you've missed the point entirely and I can't explain it any easier
just because outlaw is easier to gear for doesn't mean anyone is talking smack 
I'm not sure why that's such a bad thing
"easier to gear"
Yeah that's the point he's trying to defend all the time
well if you're looking to get offended then you can just stick to that one sentence despite what's been said afterwards
(I also think it's easier to play in an aoe situation but that's 100% feels and others have felt differently)
i'm not offended at all, i play what I enjoy anyways
just that in this discord often statements get set in stone when they're not
getting good traits for outlaw is easy yeah
saying outlaw is easier to gear than assa is not
but that's the point
we're talking traits
yeah I want out 
Miss me with that outlaw shit
guyz if u could chose bewteeen Seductive power trait and Scent of blood.... would you take the scent of blood?
Depends what you're playing
SP seems to be better for patchwerk, SoB is probs better for m+ etc
should I ever let myself reach full energy if waiting for TB, also should I use TB at 5CP ?
Use TB on cd even if you'd waste one
is using pot better during normal rotation in hero or with vendetta+vanish without hero ?
what are the main stats if u play 3xEB in m+
does sin ever get faster with more haste or does it always have a lot of downtime and waiting?
It pretty much always has downtime and waiting
It's not a spec in which you can spam your buttons
it feels like i cant do much of anything except put my dots up and then wait to envenom twice
recently capped so idk the ins and outs but it seems like there's not a lot going on, at least with the toxic blade spec. not sure what im missing
@wide delta crit>>mastery> rest
@visual dagger It's all about using your time well, maximising your energy usage etc
Pooling for ex TB etc is a core part
and @scarlet hinge Normally pooling to 50-80 ish should be fine, all depends on your haste value
After playing a while, you'll notice what haste you need for 3 TB'd Env's, also ofc down to crits
no
always eb
p*
what talent at level 30 is best? I've been using Subterfuge for the most part. But is it the best?
come to think of it. I can 
Generally subterfuge if you have SS traits and/or there are opportunities to garrote multiple things with vanish
Otherwise master assassin
SS traits?
Shrouded suffocation
ah I see
Guys im new to assasination .. im curious whats the best talents and traits for m+ and what for raids ? Is there something different ? And what are the MUST traits
for what I've seen. It depends alot on your gear
Check the guide in the pins for a broad overveiw, check the wowhead guide for a more detailed version. Check herodamage for exact numbers on traits
Hmm oki thnx a lot .. im around 406 ilv
For some fights yeah
There are fights that outlaw is better at
Opu, example
outlaw has rly high dmg
but most is padding
on adds
Assa is generally better yes
^
Outlaw can preform higher numbers on plenty of bosses, but most of that is killing the adds before anybody else gets to touch them
Yes .. more like i want high dps in bosses like ( jaina..mekka..blockade etc..
Whereas assa has a very hard time doing burst aoe efficiently
But outlaw is not bad at all for ST
Well outlaw is rng if no get procs dps is lowwwww
I think outlaw is better on jaina than assa
They don't lose TOO much dps from bad rolls, because they get even more from the good ones
But its inconsistent, which sucks for progress
So its worth to take a very minor hit to your damage to be slightly more consistent
But even then, outlaw variance isnt THAT much higher than assa either, on longer fights
Hmm i get it.. i just usually see assas in raids are top melee dps xd anyways thnx guys !
Assasin can top Outlaw on Opulence easily.
3x EB + Hidden Blades + Toxic Blade + Opal Gem

what's the thoughts on multiple nothing personals? All the top rogues on warcraft logs are running with multiple nothing peronals, however when I sim myself it always recommends taking something else such as treacherous covenant
@tough skiff Outlaws burst aoe is still better and they're not sacrificing the entire p1 to pad in p2
And the top rank of all rogues that is assa is 176, with all the 175 before him being outlaw
3x DD
2x NP
1 TC
is great too but for fights with little adds, like Gonk, Mekka and Wall
TC gets worse the better gear you have, whereas traits such as NP get better the more gear you have as well
Just use what sims the highest for ST
u dont sacrifice the entire P1 if you are lucky and ur Az armor have SS + EB
but you do
Playing with 3 less azerite traits is
since EB does nothing for p1
EXTREMLY bad
you can check wowlogs top assasin rogue how he beat outlaw easily
yes, padding
but no, the best parse is still outlaw
but none of us are top rogues so we should play the spec we handle best
๐ค
What's considered a top rogue?
EB on opulence nice meme
@ruby idol playing sin in shrine
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/blackmoore/ecala
100% on Opulence as Assasin
is possible to be great as Assasin on that boss
interesting
the top outlaw on Opulence isnt even 100% parse
?
I think you dont understand how warcraftlogs works
Real men play sub
@tough skiff I think you don't understand what the percentiles from Warcraftlogs are
Would you nice fellow assassination rogues use 2x EB and 2x SS or 3x EB and 1 ss,
Sub is dead dont even mention it
depends on the key but id go 3eb
Can even beat frost mages and DH's
whenever possible
that guy is probably the raid lead or he'd get his ass kicked for playing pad only traits
I'm of course talking about mythic+ here..
What Gem did he have? 2xEB is... hmm
opal for sure
Opal + EB. lol.... I rather parse lower just not to be a paddboy
Is anyone using scent of blood for mythic+ ? Seems like it should be good, especially on fortified?
Its ok, but generally EB and SS are better
Dad playing assa i got a tear in my eye
I have 2ss, 2eb, 1np and 1 sob. Should be a pretty good setup? Cant use top gear, I dont have any options for 2 of the slots
http://prntscr.com/n55ck0 @marble hemlock what'd you use here?
For m+?
Yeah
I wanna see what my best prio dmg set up would be
And seli activly pushes it, I'd love to try it
It sorta just comes down to the mix of eb/ss/ttk
I think Sel would go:
Ironhide (EB/TTK)
Pistoner (EB/TTK)
Conclave (TTK/SS)
3xTTK, 2xEB, 1xSS
Thing is, I know he want to have Gorak. so maybe try to go
Ironhide (EB/TTK)
Gorak (SS/BBI)
Conclave (SS/TTK) or (SS/EB)
2x TTK, 2xEB, 1xSS, 1xBBI
But i dunno what the rest of your gear is or if you are Nelf.
Option 1 feels more into the style Sel is normalyl talking about tho ๐
I'm not a nelf, I'm a velf
And yeah thanks
I would assume bbi is on the list of wants tho
Ye, he told me just the other day to use it. I have done some dungeons with it and it is very very strong ๐
And here he is ๐
irontides with eb+ttk, goraktuls with ss+bbi, indomitable will with ttk+ss
if youre nelf, go ss+ttk in helmet and eb+ss in chest instead
basically up to you, you can mix any combination of eb/ttks/ss
if you want more aoe, go 2EB, if you want more prio, go 2ttk etc.
So Nelf = 3xSS, 1xEB, 1xTTK, 1xEB. Exang i guess + still having crit as highest?
ye
Haste at 5% too low?
doesnt matter
Is it genuinly worth going exang if you're a nelf and runnin 3x SS @marble hemlock ?
and you just run PB at all times ye?
I've been debating swapping nelf
never see anyone running exsang tho tbh
but ig that's just anecdotal info that can be entirely off
hard to say, ive only played nelf for 3 keys on tournament realm
ran PB for KR/Atal and CT for freehold
well, i tried CT for KR as well when we tried bigger pulls
but i didnt really get much practice before healer got banned
Got banned?
And in general when just pugging similar stuff, 17-20's would it be worth taking CT for FH or was that specific to your MDI runs?
freehold is just a good CT dungeon
big pulls, lots of kiting, means PB is a bit worse on trash and CT has good value, esp with hte setup i ran
with 3ss, 2bbi, 1eb and galecallers
ct with galecallers is gud
gear setup on serenious in the mdi in temple atm is interesting, that double BBI though 
i wonder where he got that from ๐
xd
ye i was questionmarking the TB pick
well, every team is different
i basically ran pure st on boss+reaping pulls and didnt even fok for envenom-funnels
so outlaw had longer uptime on reaping for more wits prio
do you use envnom as soon as u get to 4-5 combo points?
Depends @cosmic prism , if u have nothign to do and you're at low energy is not bad to wait a bit
To have a bit of energy pool just in case
Maybe im wrong but i usually do that
for M+ like Motherload, would you go 3 Echoing Blades and Hidden Blades?
Key level around 15
ya
@balmy stump Check the pins/bloodmallet/herodamage and you should see a good bunch of info

mastery feelsbadman
but neither is good for the other
is ss still good for singel target or is 3 nothing personal 3 dd with master assassin the way to go for st
Wdym by mastery is good for m+
Crit is the goto stat for m+
Mastery is the goto stat for raid when you get better gear
haste/crit is what always raidbots tells me to go ๐
Yeah, mastery has pulled ahead for me ST
haste mast sims the best for me with MA build
but i have 29% crit so probably why
Hey guys! Why I do not see the designation of empowered garrote on Mizerok WA after using "Shadowmeld". Does bliz somthing changed?
No
depends on what's on the custom condition of the wa you're using
most of them don't have meld ss garrote by default (there might be a technical reason for this, not sure)
@sweet bridge Because that tracks Subterfuge triggers (from stealth) and not just Shrouded Suffocation.
I pestered mystler to add it to his logic block since I couldn't get it to work for myself
imo tracking just SS isn't worth it, can track Shadowmeld and if it's still near 2min CD you know Garrote is SS Empowered.
in a trash pull that is 5+ mobs is it best to spam fan of knives and rupture with garrote on cd or is something different/
?
No reason not to have it if you've got other snapshots indicated imo
I do agree it's probably not worth the effort though to make it tbh
@weak zenith sorta depends on traits, but on AoE non empowered garrotes aren't really worth
so the 3 garrotes then spam FoK and rupture?
If you use HB+EB and pull big you just finish for EP uptime
If you use ttk you can funnel envenoms into prio target
alrighty tyvm
@civic palm got it! thanks!

guys how is hidden blades played correctly? should i just treat it like a passive, or should i actually play it like let it get to a certain amount of stacks before using it?
mastery is my highest stat weight atm for st
Bandoloero just play normally
And at the end of pack when stuff has low hp you might start to use mutilate instead if your going into a big pack
Just treat Hidden Blades like the math it is.
Get +20% DMG after 2 seconds or get +200% DMG after 20 seconds
You can hit FoK every 2 seconds for +20% or wait 20 seconds and get 1 FoK off for 200%.
It scales linearly so you don't lose anything for not waiting.
Obviously +200% DMG is going to be more impressive when you have other DMG amplifiers stacked, but you don't get many options for that.
In reality you are spamming FoK more than every 2 seconds (GCD is 1second) so saving for the 200% burst might actually just be a DPS loss.
Do keep in mind what is coming up though; much like managing your CDs, hitting FoK on ~2 targets with Reaping coming up after the current pack might not be your best use of your GCDs and instead it might be better to simply MUT the remaining trash down.
testing out a build on heroic grongg pugs to get used to it in raid before i start progging on it
a warrior is asking me why im using iron wire
because it does nothing to the boss
@civic palm ok, thx, so should i just spam it like crazy (which i atm) or wait for a stack of the buff? and another question, should i even use it on a boss? like with 10 or 20 stacks?
The other two options don't do anything there either > _> @rustic ether
Are the adds different for alliance?
Says it's for trash because the tank is too much a pussy to tank.
@zenith gust Yeah play like normal for trash, IIRC you save until like... 15+ stacks I think for ST.
But that was before Echoing Blades.
and that trait gives a passive damage increase to FoK as well.
So it might be earlier but I am not sure.
yeah, i play 3xEB
@dark crag The theme is different for Grong IIRC, the spells work the same though.
Alliance never see the "smash monkey, horde bad" robots?
We get ghost adds that we have to kill and pick up an item, functions the same.
interrupt the same. etc.
"Who's a good monkey? You are" is hilarious
@civic palm our arena is slightly larger as well
the adds aren 't close together as often
True sometimes they spawn about 2 bosses ago.
Can take the fucking duration of Sprint to get there > _>"
Just stand on the tank ๐
Course.
If you ahve both galecallers boon and lustrous golden plumage how do you prioritse usage or do you just always use plum with vendetta and use boon when it wont affect vendetta timing and on cd
You take one off or find another trinket unless you wanna stagger things like that.
@civic palm tbf your HB explanation doesn't take into account variable pack size
finishing 2 mobs up for reaping? hold out on FoK grab some stacks and blast
otherwise though i absolutely agree
There will always be more variables :3
But I will add it just in case someone ends up pinning that rambling.
๐
Is there a way to reset a weak aura back to its original positioning? I accidently fucked one up and can't get it back to the original positioning and dont have the import string or w/e anymore
Redownload it ๐ฆ
yeah you'd have to reimport to get it back to original if you don't know how to move it where it needs to be
You can simply change x and y offset to 0 in display tab so you can have it at center of your screen then u can move it
Anyone here with m Jaina exp used galecallers? is it a decent trinket for the fight?
Use something else :D
I dont think galecallers is a decent trinket for any fight
its cancer
Sims high, but in practice it is a pain in the arse, and wont come close to giving you that sim dps
I use it on some fights but on jaina you dont want to play the trinket minigame
Get into KR and get plumage
Early on in jaina progression i was using azerite infusion (i think thats the name) where you need to stand in it for main stat
Realised quickly how cancer that is
Oof
3
thanks dad
ye garrote is 6 with vanish
but rupture
do u use it ever ๐ค
ravenholdt says "when your target won't die"
and it's like everything is going to die
not inside subterfuge window
but you need to keep 3 ruptures running for energy regen
is there anything useful to help keep track or that? Or... nameplates.
nameplates
Nameplates
should track garrote, rupture and posions
gotcha, I'm just stupid then
at a minimum
KuiNameplates with the debuff size increased
Get plater and costumize it. my nameplates change colour wenn rupture and poison are applied
i swapped from elvui's plates to kui, the 8.1.5 update was garbage
he removed it
but it was there yeah
861 votes and 753 comments so far on Reddit
it's not that I'm worried about someone exploiting it so much as
the fact that that was ever released as production code makes me wary of using it again
tghat's a #wow-general topic tho
ty for your help
it's just issuing ingame commands though right? wow addons aren't able to make http requests are they?
no they're sandboxed
but ingame commands can clean out your guild
this is how I've kinda set up the nameplates to show ruptures and garrotes
it's so difficult to manage garrotes ><
just use bigdumbnamesplates 4head
whitelist what u wanna see and just leave everything erlse off them
on MT is rupture supposed to take up a large portion of damage? I assume it is
rupture provides some damage, but it's main use is giving you energy to spam FoK or fok >envenom
I see
so garrote damage isn't as important
keeping up garrotes isn't as important on AoE as it is ST
and I should focus more on using it on cd than really keeping it fully up on 3 targets
I guess if you use it on CD it will be up on 3 targets no matter what
as long as you don't overlap
you dont really reapply garrote on aoe after you used the 3 from stealth
you just keep 3 ruptures and spam fok envenom
or put 1 crimson tempest if you use that
Oh, so i've been doing that wrong
@tropic ocean just garrote 1 Garrote 2 Garrote 3 and- :^)
Well I only do it first 3 out of stealth then keep ruptured up and fok envenom cuz can sustain anyways and more dps
Im doing the musclebrah meme haha
On the topic of nameplates, if you like the blizzard plates just download flyplatebuffs and youโre golden ๐
Musclebrah luk

Since when can you parry range attacks?
Can you use evasion?
Yes should be able to
Evasion causes you to dodge all ranged attacks
Some skills are just made to hit tho
So trial and error
It worked yesterday!!! Best player in the world
yesterday garrote1 garrote 2 garrote 3 worked
one think that puts me off about sin is that it seems you have to choose aoe azerite traits to be effective in dungeons, is that true?
yes essentially
@marble hemlock I was gna ask, have you played with 1 EB just so u can play with BBI ? Never tried anything less then 2 , obvsly if I dont need the aoe it makes sense like kR/temple , but in general u think the BBI is good enough to sac an EB
Is there like a weakaura that makes multi dots on 2 targets easier?
I can only see the debuffs as small windows over the enemy healthbar on my second target
Question for you guys, I have two rogues. One has 2 EB, 2 SS, 1BR, 1TtK and uses PB. Other one has 3 EB, 2SS, 1 RF and uses HB.
I did FH on both, on the 2 EB one I had 20% garrote, 14% FoK and 12% EB, On the one with 3 EB, I had 22% Garrote, 17% FoK but only 8% EB.
Any reason why EB is way lower with 3? His iLvl is lower since he's kinda new but I was under the impression that 3 EB would be higher
Eb needs crit, with low Ilvl, you won't have the secondary stats to go for 3eb. Or at least it's not that effective.. That would be my assumption
Make sense, I have higher crit on the other rogue and also the trinket from Mekka. So I guess I should go with 3 SS for now until I get more crit
Both ST and Dungeonslice sim higher with TB than Exang. I use 1xTTK, 1xEB, 1xBBI, 3xSS. Can i seriously trust the sims? 3xSS (as Nelf) and still not Exang? ๐ฎ
Eyy guys quick question whats the haste cap % u kinda wanna aim to have?
There is no haste cap
just use stat weights or sim for best gear
Whatโs the rotation for AoE pulls/reaping ?

So I recently got a dead eye Trinket but can't see any thing on mobs when it procs, any1 how to get it added onto nameplates for tidy plates?
I did check the pins. Unless Iโm blind as hell I donโt see it..
Hey fellow rogues with a better memory than mine
Did haste affect our bleeds back in TBC?
@rose stag You dont need to worry about it
You dont need to auto attack it, it stacks of fok and bleeds
haste on bleeds was pretty much this expansion was it not
My memory says it didnt affect our bleeds back then, but the argument im having with a fellow rogue claims otherwise
Hence me asking, cause my memory might be flawed cuz im old ๐
spell dots didn't even scale with haste until 3.3 but it seems unlikely that bleeds did in tbc
https://www.wowhead.com/news=281762/battle-for-azeroth-alpha-bleeds-and-poisons-now-scale-with-haste
serenious gear monkaS
seems to imply it was this expansion also =p
Thanks Tacgnolol, im not that old it seems since i remembered correct :p
now we get to see copenhagen lose cause asa rogue. ill eat my words if they win
idk why play sin in a explosives affiox. seemsweirdman
outlaw is like what the second or third best spec to kill orbs
I dont think that him being assa is the reason they're behind atm ๐
But assa is definitely fine, assuming he plays well
lol
ofc its gonna be a pile of things
but sin rogue brings near nothing to TD imo
that outlaw doesnt do better
sub omegalul
idk, I have faith blizz will nerf outlaw properly and not randomly and over the top
and it will prob be fine to play still
you could nerf BF dmg by like 50% and itd still be viable
LOL
maybe not 50, but eyah
increase the CD on charges by abit
Staph
i personally wouldnt mind outlaw getting nerfed
i do like sin
but its just not as good
i hope they buff enhance personally
most fun spec ^.^
#wow-general is that way
I just recently came back to game and am gonna switch from outlaw to assassin and Iโm excited about it. I donโt really love roll the bones
Just gotta read some pins and learn how to play sin for some M+ action
!talents
we dont have !talents
but its usually EB - Subterfuge/MA - Vigor - x - x - Toxic Blades - Poison Bomb
going as sin for first time in raid, just wondering if i should take MA with 2x DD and 2x NP
you can sim the diffrence, but iirc dd should favour MA
Yeah no point in subt if you donโt have an SS
ill have 1x SS but not sure its worth
Sim it
Its tricky, ss wants subt, ma window wants envenom and dd procs
@tropic ocean it worked yesterday!
๐
guys in an m+ with x3 ss and x3 eb after the 3 garrotes and 4-5 ruptures applied my energy is perma capped. do u just spam fok at this point or fok>envenom on prio target fishing bombs ? its seems meter wise just spamming fok gives way more dmg overall.
You dont need to apply 5 ruptures after you have 3 garrotes up
You need a total of 4 bleeds to not go out of energy
ok so spam fok or envenom?
If you want aoe then fok (if you have multiple EB) if you want to damage a specific mob you envenom
so for example, you can garrote 3 > rupture and then starting to envenom/fok
Until garrotes start being close to run out
Then you rupture again
meter wise not even close
If you want aoe then fok (if you have multiple EB) if you want to damage a specific mob you envenom
at least in my case
no
i have usually 2 million poison bomb dmg
on tyra ct is no no
ill try next week
PB is generally the goto talent, you need to do very specific stuff to make either of the other two talents worthwhile
M+ dps varies a lot on the dungeon, affixes, how the tank pulls, and who the other dps specs are
but yeah that range sounds pretty reasonable
@rough yarrow you spam fok, and you maintain three bleeds after opener. EP needs not to be refreshed with 3 EB; with 2 EB you rupture or envenom at 5 CP to refresh EP.
hi guys, back after a long break. For raiding / mythic +, is there a massive difference between Ass and Outlaw these days?
You need 4 bleeds to not have negative energy regen
No, both outlaw and assa very are good, play whatever you prefer
lovely
has blizzard ever documented how tab targeting works? I've noticed that sometimes if you hit tab while mobs are casting, it'll prioritize targeting them first. really useful for garrote silence. but if you had targeted them recently then it seems less likely to target one of them. curious how exactly this is supposed to work, sometimes it feels so random but sometimes it's like it can read my mind
@pale agate before last patch it was selecting nearest target always first. @marble hemlock was mentioning the other day that something has changed, which seems to be the case according to my post patch exp in tabbing mobs.
ye, theres definitely been a shift in how the tab-targetting behaviour works
it used to prioritize marked mobs/mobs with a spotlight, so if you had your nameplates set up to spotlight mobs that were using interruptible spells, those would be prioritized
but that doesnt seem to be the case anymore
instead its just random
"instead its just random" monkaS
hmm so last night when I was playing, during reaping waves I will usually wait for one of them to start casting before I break stealth, and I found that tab would pretty consistently target the caster, almost every time
it could be a coincidence too, IIRC it was not 100% consistent
I did not know that the behavior had to do with nameplate spotlighting though, good info

Bursting Blood still best for ST Outlaw?
i tried Bursting blood in reapings.. and im getting like 130k dmg o.O and with agility sometimes 100k and someties 50-60k
my opinion bursting blood is better for big pulls
Itโs a Ppm proc, amount of targets shouldnโt really affect it
yeah bursting blood doesnt change on number of targets
what's the best time to use vendetta on siege 1st and 2nd bosses?
second boss always after her first jump
first boss i typically use it on CD
bring reaping into it and just nuke the bitch
i've been trying to time it on first boss to match up the burst window with his 50% extra damage taken debuff when he walks into bombs
not sure if it has made a difference
if you arent pulling reaping into it that might be a good use as well
but when you pull reaping into it you can just dump 2 million dmg into him lmao
yeah I can see that being ideal
I really need to find a consistent group to play with, i've only sometimes seen pug tanks willing to do that

do you guys prefer PB for KR keys?
i prefer PB always
but if you run CT normally, then i would recommend PB for KR and TOS

Hi there, with 25% crit 3 EB, 2 SS what is the best trait between Scent of blood and Blightborn infusion for Mm+ ?
Bbi
ty
Sounds good
Who knows
This looks so instagram ๐ญ
lol
This is how a superior class' discord should look
Icon isn't even changed though > _>"

From newest 8.6.7 patch notes ๐ Because you can't stop being children with abbreviations, Assassination has been renamed. It is now known as โSneaky Stab Guy.โ ๐
Sneaky Pete
yes, please let's call it sneaky pete xD
Recent alternative healer disciplines have resulted in a resurgence of Virulent Plague.
holy shit blizz has some balls
thats straight BANTZ
and a JK rowling joke
this is already the best one theyve done
do we run hidden blades in m+ with 2 eb traits??
or is poisen bomb better
i have been running hidden blades so im just wondering
The Assa we are running with is either running Poison Bomb when we need focus dmg and for general purpose or Crimson Tempest on Fortified weeks with big pulls.
Never seen him ever run Hidden Blades.
Take from that what you want ๐คท
15-17s
So not all too high.
This is what he runs this week.
3x EB, 2x SS, 1x TTK
Yw ๐
Hmm is crimson remotest really dimming much higher that HB with multiple EB?
@icy girder HB is good
when you have 3EB
on fortified weeks
CT isnt worth it at all
hey guys, been playing assa the whole expansion, havent seriously tried outlaw for m+ and so far I'm pretty happy with what I do in aoe and ST, slowly working my way up and currently at +12-+13 keys. not entirely sure if it will get an issue going higher keys? i love the silence and kidney shot over what outlaw offers. I mainly see only outlaw rogues running around, not feeling like switching but on the other hand I don't want to become a drawback for the team
Ehhhh sorry my autocorrect fucked that sentence up haha. Must sim it myself later
Outlaw is fotm right now, sin is perfectly fine, bring both multi and single target to the group
Id read the pins
this bot is going to be the end of me
Id read the pins
hahaha
thanks guys. yeah my feeling was I might do more aoe but a big loss of ST as outlaw. will def keep sticking to it, just wish I'd finally get higher azerite pieces with good traits, the pain is real
@raven osprey to be totally honest sin is in a really sweet spot for m+ that its doing really good dmg but its not getting any of the spotlight in the MDI
so it wont (PROBABLY*) get hit by the balance bat like outlaw more than likely will
Have you seen the guide
@prisma monolith i swear to god
5% chance stikes quite often for you^^
can't we just mutilate him?
Sin in M+ is also a good bit more reliant on Azerite Pieces to perform really amazing.
yeah 100% thats why most people run outlaw is because you need specific traits, versus outlaw just needing one trait and then a slew of others
i think its fair to say that all specs somewhat depend on azerite for performance
Ye, exactly. Outlaw just grab a Wits and throw some other stuff in the mix and you'll be good to go.
yeah
yeah probably, i really am comfortable with sin and it was just the thought that outlaw would help the group more with more dmg going higher keys but I've always been either 1st or 2nd in my main group and even in pugs
Oh, definitely. Just feels like Assa requires more to get to a good stage compared to others.
you WANT to run deadshot/ace but you can run blitz/TC/snake etc.
Like I have 2xEB 2xSS 1xTTK 1x Relational on Assa and it feels great in M+. Friend does not have SS+EB on any pieces and he says it's super unfun.
its def more hectic to play aswell, but i prefer that
something people dont really realize is that Gouge is a major part in why outlaw is fotm
I have 3EB, 1xSS, 1xTTK, 1xNP, 1xEH (yes i wanna cry)
something people don't use is Gouge.
having one extra piece of disorienting CC is huge if youre pulling a dozen mobs who need interupts
specially with how low a cd gouge is
Some friends say "hey, those guys have the same gear we have and yet they can pull 20 packs and we die at 3, why is that?"
Hey guys shrouding after first pack, in m+ ToS , how do u properly sap the hidden snake at the corner?
Gouge also is on a different DR than stun.
you just get near it
So even if you got full stun immunity you can gouge for interrupt.
and when it appears you clicky sap
I get near it it sees me and rip key :/
yeah Gouge has a special DR
Fast fingers?
nah
you can stop right in front of melee range
and it will appear
you sap
and then go right through it
@subtle aurora I had the same issue yesterday
everyone needs to be on the same page thats all
Rather take 10s for that than rip the key ๐
Hmm ok. I tried 4 times, only successful once
Sounds like feelycraft
is the stealth add affected by distract?
if everyone just fucking runs past you as youre still trying to sap it, scream at them and call them bad
Guess gotta keep practicing
it should in theory be affected but it shouldnt matter
as much as I saw in a video it really is like take a 1s stop, no moving
you should be using distract on the previous pack
yeah just stop for a second in the appropriate spot
as practice just find that special spot before you start key
Oh I sap the previous snake, then stop at the corner and try to sap again lol
there's a vid on youtube of all shroud skips you can see it pretty well in there
yeah you do both
but didnt have a chance to practive again
"Special spot" = facing that corner?
not your direction
theres a special distance that isnt in his detection range for you
but you can detect him
i think its 8 yards versus 5 yards
Oh so don't get too close to that corner, but still face it.
Wait for it appear and sap it
because you need to find the spot where you stand still durign your shroud and find him and sap him
exactly
you cant stand still for too long or esle your shroud is going to drop early and the slackers will fall behind and pull
ive seen Musclebrah do it in basically 1/10th of a second barely even stopping
if you REALLY want to be a scuffed dickhead you could make a /target /cast sap marco that you SPAM
Did you sim yourself?
np!
not going to lie i just made a macro for that
it works but you gotta test it and know the angle of attack or you might end up sapping the one on the right which is MONKAS
๐ all good fam
Yet โข
Yeet โข
YeeYee โข
@subtle aurora thanks for making me make a macro for that, now i can just spam a button and not think
never thought about making it easier lol
yeah but now i can actually click one button to do one thing instead!
i wish you could do that for all your abilities
just click a button and it casts a spell, maybe in 8.3
no way theyd be able to implement a system like that in 8.2

@raven osprey @rustic ether tks guys
so we're now all sneaky stab bois
Based on the channel name more like sleepy stab bois
I think it means that the rotation is so boring we fall asleep then wake up to find we topped the dps meter
still more exciting than other classes imo
topped the dps meter
wath raid tier is this, i only see white bars with shadow priest on top
Hello. According to wowhead guide we should drop snapshotted garrote, but it doesn't say why. I mean, snapshotted one should be stronger, shouldn't it?
exactly, you let empowered garrote tick down to 0
Oh, yeah, I see now. Thank you.
the extra damage when empowered is worth more than the pandemic gained by refreshing it early
I've forgotten that there is no snapshot in the game anymore, got myself confused.
there is snapshotting.
exsang snapshots haste
and
NS snapshots
I'm playing WoW since 2005 and I disagree.
Yeah, but I mean, previously you would be able to safe this garrote for the full fight.
By prolonging it
I think
can someone explain to me how the pre shroud in m+ works?
use shroud before the key starts
shroud before keystone is started, then the cooldown resets
so you get ~3-4 extra seconds of shroud
yup
thats the main use for it
gives you enough time to get past all the shit and sap the sneaky boi
other than that we cant get any use of pulltimer before the key goes in?
okay ty. not really interested in playing outlaw atm ^^'
Hello fellow sleepy stab boyos
will 1 NP, 2 ss, 2 DD, 1 ttk for mythic Gronk and Jadefire be fine`? could replace ttk with dagger
I run 2xSS on grong mythic
Vanish lines up with each add spawn and you can garotte everything for mega damage
Adds spawn at 30, 2:30, 4:30
But yeah seems fine to run that setup
ok ty
I know that ttk is nice in m+ because of fok-> envonem spam, but is it worth in raid too?
it's sub par unless the other traits in the piece are great (see: cephalohide)
is nothing personal really the best trait now?
what does sub par mean?
worse than other options
for raid DD, NP, TC
gonna be your best bet
1-2 SS if you wanna go for logs on certain fights
SS is really nice on most fights up until the last 3 bosses tbh
well my choice is ttk or dagger in the back
Ttk all day for me
yup
Dagger in the back sims higher as it presumes youโre always behind the boss
Which you wonโt be
So for my m+ set I am at 34% crit 5% haste 5% vers 35% mastery, I can go all the way up to 17% haste but my crit goes to about 23-25%. Is the 5% haste just better for keys in general?
that's probs too low, gonna be struggling to do damage on bosses
probably want 11-14% ish haste
Did you remember to apply poisons?
Haste isnโt that great in m+ tbh, doesnโt help much on trash as once bleeds go out your energy regen is super high anyway
I run with 10% haste for m+
Yeah a few people were saying 7-10% is best
what key levels you running?
17-20
I mean I dunno whatโs best but I just tried to stack crit for echoing blades
I just feel my haste is low but seems good for mobbing
I looked again I am actually sitting at 4% LOL
Yeah thatโs really low, never tried it that low though, so may be workable. Honestly depends on traits, your group composition and the dungeon
what other dps specs do you run with? just gotta remember that just brainlessly padding on reaping maybe isnt the best use of your damage
Is that a full set?
what's fury's ST like? haven't ever seen one in a dungeon
on tyran, 4 min fights etc
We are all pretty low ST where it is about 4-5 minute fights. But we are spending equal time running to the bosses as our multi is very high
Itโs not brainless reaping padding if thereโs nobody else in your comp that can deal with the reaping quickly... if you take echoing blades and do 150k in reaping then thatโs fine to me
its more like if everyone in your comp is doing 100k and your doing 150, your not really speeding it up that much
i like 3 eb in fort weeks, but prefer 3 ttk for tyran
usually run 3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss
Nobody beats my logs!
I donโt have a lot of azerite gear tbh! I just run 3xss and 3xeb regardless of the week. Works for my group comp cause we have a marksman hunter that wrecks the bosses
only thing you'll find as you progress higher, 3 ss really holds you back from chain pulling
I've caved and play outlaw most the time now, just because you can turn trash into one continous pull
Yeah tbh, we donโt chain pull too much so I always get a second to restealth or the healer to drink w/e. So garotte damage is really nice like usually 9k of my dps is from garotte
yeah, in weeks where we are forced to reset (bolstering) its really nice
This week I find my team chain pulling, a lot. I am still running 2 eb/1 ss/1 ttk/ 1 BI/ 1 NP (I dont have the best Azerite, its actually all 385)
I was running 3 SS but with chain pulling, even as a NE, its hard
and without chain pulling its even harder to time an 18
I mean without chain pulling we are finding timers within 1 minute, instead of say 5-7 minutes left
If u wanna chain pull eb is the best and so is SoB, im still running 2ep, 3 ss, 1 sob, and im ending 15-16 with 30-36k overall, though u need another really good dps that can also st hard.
I dont have other competative triats, this is the best comp i got
Yeah I mean on big trash pull EB is my biggest damage source anyway so the chain pulls donโt hurt me too much and SS is there for bosses and a nice bonus on trash when I get a restealth
Sob maks ur longer and larger packs hit 100k
Get 4 runing
And u nuke
But for this build, unless its freehold/motherlode dont ever take Crimson tempest, ur st will suffer tremendously, but u can hit over 200k on reaping if done right xD
playing with game sounds on DansGame
I have 5% haste from Neck + 1 Opulence dagger. And it is fine in ST.
3x EB 3x SS
the all round build is 2 EB 2 SS 2 TTK. but theres a lot of room to tweak your damage based on what you need with different traits
222โs problem is that it doesnโt do anything particularly well imo
yup, once you start climbing either 3 eb 2 ttk 1 ss or 3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss is what id go with
Yeah if you play with a dedicated group 3tk is very strong
I would never 3 ttk
3 eb for pug hero
I usually swap based on tyran/fort
The dream (for me) would be 2xEB, 2xTTK, 1xSS, 1xBBI
3tk makes you kinda like a sub rogue that isnโt garbaj on reaping
why bother with the 1 bbi? why not just another eb or ttk?
BBI is goooood
surely theyre worth more for damage
Canโt have blifhtborne with anything but ss
So you have to play uh
Irontide hat gorak mantle ceph jacket I think
Might be a different hat
keen to find out how traits and stuff work in 8.2, hopefully it makes it easier to build what you want
I think personally though you play 3 eb if youโre gonna blightborne
Cuz you might crit more but you have less impact while gritting
Odowla has an alliance piece thatโs blightborne eb though
But thatโs not 415
And it procs often, that trait is actually bonkers
https://gyazo.com/ab09bd62f87da4acf44dc337c4685f03 been running this, feels pretty nice, id swap the head for a EB /TTK head if i could but w/e
BBI feels pog af with other things proccing aswell, but even as a solo proc its funky
people run what they have, but if u want to compete with outlaw on M+ 3xEB + 3xSS is the way to go with Crit stacked
Only if you get restealths though
With the way pulls are done now multiple SS has to be played around tbh
That's just incorrect tho Bamboo
There's plenty of very close damage combinations for assa
Triple SS x2 BI x1 EB was a popular build on tournament realm for example
the TTK build can compete on raw damage with triple eb triple ss as well
you should honestly play around with a few more builds, assa is such an open space for interesting testing ๐
u cant compete with outlaw with 1 EB
yes, you can
I'd read the pins
well tbf assa can never compete with outlaw, even with triple eb
but the triple ss 2bi 1 eb build is probably the highest assa damage build
Did you remember to apply poisons?
sadly it's only available on TR
but even triple SS 1 bi 2 eb is insane on live
tirple eb is very overrated
What? where did you get this information from?
playing?
"well tbf assa can never compete with outlaw, even with triple eb"
You don't even need 3x EB and you still can
lol
define compete
"you cant compete with outlaw" why choose to try to do the same that outlaw does
Did you sim yourself?
instead of utilizing any of the other important parts that arent solely AoE related that you focus on
to help your group
which is why I prefer ttk build
and you can easily compete with outlaw
or even bbi build
I assume, based on your statement, that you only look at over all. and Assa can easily compete with overall. But overall is not even the most important thing so I don't agree with you for a second
how much dps u pull on reaping with ttk build?
thats the wrong question
around 60k
the right question would be "do the tormented/lost souls die quicker with ttk build compared to an EB one, or compared to playing outlaw"
to which the answer is: yes
the important metric for keys isnt dps. its time.
which is why I asked braxoo to define compete
if you're speaking in terms of overall dps I dont think assa cna compete personally
people only look at dps and extrapolate from there which classes are best
when it should be the other way around
but if you're looking at it in terms of overall time saved
75k-125k dps on reaping with EB build
then I think assa can easily compete
look at each class/spec individually, and see what they can bring to the table to make the key go faster
an answer to a question which doesnt matter
with 3x SS you pull ahead on dps on medium packs and with 3x EB you destroy everyone on reaping. But everyone play whatever they feel best for them.
ideal setup right now is one big aoe class, one with prio, one for st/utility
you dont need multiple aoe blasters
or, at most, 2
assa has the flexibility to pick and choose whether they w anna go for more prio, or more aoe, and thats a decision that needs to be made within each group individually
I'm playing WoW since 2005 and I disagree.
cant make any blanket statements with a spec whose biggest strength is flexibility
ye seli but m'overall damage
moroes shut up, ive been playing longer than that :<
im just waiting for a details update that lets you remove risen soul damage from the overall
cause its irrelevant damage anyway
what piece of loot has the 2nd BBI, with first one being gorak shoulders ?
only available on TR (at max ilvl)
drustvar worldquest helmet
Have you seen the guide
thanks
Using gorak's for outlaw makes me sick
Because its bis for sin raiding and been hunting all tier lol
bis for both specs really lol
I dont have blitz anywhere else
Because blitz is better than bbi
so yes
For outlaw
^
You make me sad
even with socket
Why dont you just go sin? Plz
For lyfe
I play sin in raids dw
@hollow stone you wanna know the best part
I have a 420 one as well
and a 415
Ah well, at least it didnt cost me my soul 
I'd give my soul for a blockade ax tbh
Oh oh. That one i have. And 2x 415 rasta daggs w/o socket. Tradesies??
oof, I wish
Whats the best trait set up for M+ as assassination?
3SS 3EB
Pretty sure your rolls were just unlucky.
why do people spout 3 eb 3 ss, it's so impractical in so many situations
because they have smol brain
What would be the best trait setup for a "high" kings rest? 15-20 range
tbh if you're coming onto the discord with such a broad question like "what's best m+ trait for assa", it's p expected to get such a vague answer such as "3ss 3eb"
3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss
depends on the affixes but I'd prefer ttk build on KR
I still havent played the bi build in kr
Aight
actualy probs that bbi build if you have it
whats bi build?
i wanna try it but no shoulders PepeHands
3 ss 1 bi 2 eb
2 eb 2 ttk 1 ss 1 bbi
Sounds good
or that
double bi on tr felt so good pepehands
tr is so fun
play outlaw with bis stats, impossible trait build for sin
