Fuck me i cant pick a spec, mostly M+ but also raid normal/heroic, probably not mythic cuz IRL, i do enjoy sin in raid, but not so much in m+ where i prefer outlaw.. Help
then play both
a haste vers build would be good for outlaw/sin wouldnt it?
yes
is Zoldyck still the best for Mythic +?
It has crossed my mind to outlaw in m+ and raid as sin, but to maintain 2 leggos is kinda ass
yes
Zoldyck is bis for raid aswell yes?
Cool so Zoldyck is the overall bis than?
yeah
Cool ty
Just checked the logs and got happy that assa was middle of the pack, but then saw there are only 3 logs 😂
yuuuuup
big props to those sin players
Zoldyck on legs or feet?
legs
its just cause legs its one of the bigger stats
Ok cool
what if we dont intend to upgrade it for quite a while
would it be more worth using it on lower stat item?
Can confirm the effect is crazy good
Seeing that subterfuge garrote damage shoot up makes me hug my trusty piano wire
which cov is way to go for sin?
Pve? Night fae
yeah in pve its fine, in pvp, I don't think it really does anything
isnt maldraxxus even worse?
when I tried it did like 1% of my dmg
considering kyrian is nerfed, for pvp probs night fae for synergy with shiv
or if your going doomblade you can go maldraxxus for extra bleed for envenom
New to disc would like to know the state of assassination rogues for pve did the 5%overall buff do anything for assassination
we have a pin on it
will there be enough soul ash to craft tier IV next week?
yes

Is there a preferred weapon enchant anywhere? I didn't see it in the BiS sheet
you can click on the sims to see the enchants
celest/sinful in single target, double lightless in m+
no problem

i'm. suddenly conflicted on what to invest in again
i switched to sub for guild raiding and just getting used to it since sin feels... so weak.
im farming mats for a spec specific leggo now but. won't it be funny if they buff sin and nerf sub so they switch places soon
outlaw aint an option, i hate it lol
yeah fair enough
Does chaos brand or w/e the ability that DHs use on targets that buffs magic dmg taken affect envenom, bleeds and loosens?
Poisons*
nvm 🙂
How's assassin for PvP?
it affects our nature damage, yes
fine
Cool thanks!
Is kyrian bis for all specs
atm, yes
Good point I’ll wait before I change again
I went necro from NF and I kinda miss chilling with good old bwonsamdi
but NF is the bwonsamdi questline isn't it XD
oh
FROM night fae

why'd you go necro?
7% agi increase from bone spike on demand
And gives prime stat buff to raid member too
Plus if I put bone spike on 3 targets I get like 4/5 cp when I cast it again
But now I just feel I’m underperforming
Maybe it’s my shit daggers
I shoulda saved my conquest
Thankyou
If covenant choices affect more than 1-2% DPS, Blizzard is doing it wrong
Sin good now?
no
its bad
Whats your highest key with Sin ?
Edit : in Shadowland
And yes , there is people playing Sin everyday
Dont really see where you going with these messages Stunkei but alright
I ll let you show off a bit with your arrogant attitude
Meanwhile I am still enjoying playing Sin
I think it's just like how in BFA ppl still play sub in keys
Not really arrogant just how it is
Don't take it the wrong way, I'm not being arrogant im being factual. Sin is not even remotely good in m plus and if you are playing it you are trolling your group imo. But as I've said many times if you enjoy it, do it. Everyone plays for different reasons and they are not always directed towards performance. Just my opinion
Sin not really optimal for m+ atm
Sub atm because I don't have 200+ ol weap yet
But I'm clearing mythic cn and 14s so no need yet for outlaw
Sub super good for keys this week honestly
Fix bolstering issues zul style
stiill doing alright after nerfs?
I do M+ every day . As sin
I know how the play it and my DPS is good . Better than Outlaw ? Not . Better than Sub ? No . I sweat on every pull to be the best and I never felt trolling my group . You need to push hard on the keyboard to reach number 1 but I like the challenge .
It would be easier to roll Outlaw or Sub , but how satisfying to be on the top of the dps chart and people tell you " Damn you can do this even with this shitty spec "
You do you bro, I'm glad you enjoy the challenge
im still getting good ganks with my sub but i don't play kyrian
my wrists were dying playing sin on nzoth, can't even imagine doing now with all the extra work we have to do to get even remotely close to our old numbers
working on pressing the keys lighter now haha
hmm wonder if the trinkets with minions will give us more uptime as we dodge tornadoes and shit
What plays like assasin but isn't shit
Hey @strange python ?
sup
Do you have a carpal tunnel brace?
nah i need one tho haha i work from home as an author and play this damn game
Get one of these
I have a similar one, and wear it when my wrist is complaining. It doesn't affect my clicky hand. I've been MMOing for 2 decades and had starter CTS for almost as long
But, ignore it, and you'll need surgery
thanks for the tip
i started noticing it big time in those long ass nzoth runs
pressing keys lighter helps a bit, but ya gonna get that brace
tyty
i was a bg player through all of wow pretty much, raiding and pve is pretty new to me
was really suprised how rough it is doing a raid
I have a G600 and still get it
ya i started moving buttons to my g600
still can't use the back buttons very well
Can I offer a tip for that mouse?
yes plz
Set G8 to 'target nearest enemy' and G7 to 'target nearest player'
oh shit
thats a cozy spot
kinda weird moving my finger there tho
is it middle finger?
And order your buttons not by skill, but priority. It's MUCH easier to alt that way. Example:
For me, 5 is always the 'oh shit' button and 9 is always an interrupt. Alt-7 is always a slow/ 1-3 are spammable, 4&6 are less-frequent spammables. Use Alt 1-3 before 7-9
Do something similar. Then you can kind of go braindead and still only suck a little bit.
Yep
do you use yoru finger pads or the back of your thumb
tumb pad or the back of your thumb
Tips
kk
Back of thumb risks hitting multiple buttons
Ideally, though, the back 3 will see minmal use. I use those for CDs and shit like Polymorph/Fear/taunt
kk ty
👍
Just out of curiosity: Does Niya's tools: herbs work with crimson vial?
UHDK?
The steel series rival 500 has some really amazingly laid out buttons for MMOs, it's pretty much impossible to press the wrong button
I upgraded from my g600 to this. It's so much more comfortable
What do we feel the likelihood of sin getting buffed at this point is? After mythic tuning week --0%?
close to non-existent
Does the Conduit Maim,Mangle have an impact with the Doomblade Legendary ?
Big time bummer. I was hoping to run sin/sub because
A) one weapon type
B) not a huge fan of outlaw

which missives do we want to run with zoldyck? haste crit or haste mastery?
you would probably have to sim to see what is best, but for me it was crit and haste
What item i should craft for scoundrel, cloak or boots?
just don't choose mastery for missives
i have the least amount of mastery compared to other secondaries
and it still sims the lowest lol
is mastery even that good for aoe/cleave anymore
i imagine it's a little better there
Not as good as crit/vers
yeah, couldn't see it beating crit and verse is solid
funny enough, a lot of pvp gear is itemlized pretty well
a ton of verse pieces
Was Torghast nerfed?
I mean, I had some problems as assa before. (got unlucky with the anima though)
Hotfixes rolled in today
i just did a level 6
how was it?
and it was maybe even easier than what level 4s used to be
Woah, that's crazy.
The per layer level health nerfs alone are like 28% or something
the debuff that the one elite had that would reduce your haste be 25%
is only 5% now
Anyone tried sub and sin in torghast? Sub seems to do more damage, but it overall isn't that flexible(doesn't have strong dots, and I think that sin has better survivability because of the feint talent).
they are both fine, i actually prefer sin more though
I didn’t trust it
But I ran one as sin
And it’s insane
Not even internal bleeds
You can just kite
it's a tankier spec than what people realize too
Leeching is pretty big
And the red ink trait is giga
ambush rupture i love too
i love getting the anima power that gives you master poisoner
so i can have both MP and blindside
I don’t take blindside to begin with
i take mp to start every run
Ye
but if i get that i take blindside
There is power "after vanish your bleed and poison effects apply its damage instantly"
And necrolord rogues have infinite bleed.
So all enemies should just die instantly, but they don't
BULLSHIT
This power is useful in very specific situations which i never encountered
Master poisoner on mind numbing + leech and your defensives is a surprising amount of survivability
yes, sin can be quite tanky
Like your enemy has 10% hp left and you are almost dead yourself
!
Vanish powers are quite a bit silly imo... I don't like them
they weren't made with solo play in mind
unless I can get a 4 stack of the reduce cooldowns by 15 secs
Whispyr what do you think about sin getting haste from SnD as a buff
yeah, definitely quite viable for group play
Instead of just attack speed
I cant get 4 stacks of reduce cooldown because i wont take one stack in a first place
Depends on the %, but seems good
like literally anything else is better than vanish powers
I had two vanish powers to choose from in my last run
I think i can't even recall what I took
I thought it would be a nice way to reward sin for keeping up SnD that actually affects our dots without being too ridiculous
Also been running as Sub to learn the spec.... they are both doable, I think sub has more burst though for chain pulling
There’s a lot of things they could do
the problem i have with sub in torghast
is that there are some moments where you basically have nothing up
Maybe I should make a list of things I’d like to see
and everything basically stops for you
You should tbh
And ideas in general
have to post them on the forums
I was literally thinking about sending mine into the in-game suggestion form
Cause we get that convo a lot
or hell i'll just copy and paste them on the forums
Shrouded Suff as an anima power...
we don't need ss for torghast
I just feel like there's a bunch of good ideas in this channel and blizzard deserves to see them because they obviously need some help 
I enjoy the shadowstep giving like 15s of a defensive buff though
change our level 45 and 50 rows to actually not be shit
The more I think about it the more I like the idea of poison bomb being baseline
I don't like having random AOE dropping though
have either toxic blade or kingsbane as baseline, so shiv can used for just utility again
and not have a utility button be a dps cd
It's uncapped though
... yeah but it can fuck with CC when you don't want it too
PB i don't think breaks sap, or it didn't in legion
My poxstorm broke a Cc on a shade of barghast tonight and we almost wiped 
i might be remembering things wrong though
PB has broken a blind
also blind i swear used to remove dots... and it doesn't anymore or am I not remembering correctly?
it used to remove them
I swear I was able to remove my own bleeds with blind before
Poison bomb could apply a cumulative dot on ennemies standing on it
even so, if you have mobs hard cc'd
Pb has a short duration though so at least you don't have 10+ seconds of it being dotted and un-ccable
you likely aren't gonna be fighting over said mob
Yeah it used to I think
i remember there was a talent or glyph back in the day
that you could blind poisoned and bleeded enemies
because I definitely can't do those clutch BS when a mob got out of the way
and they would still take damage without breaking
It would be cool if blind paused all of the damage of your dots and it gets applied when it breaks from direct damage
Hey let's just be glad there isn't like 6 blind powers in torghast
Especially in pvp
we still bad?
Yes please do that, I love to read all the ideas floating around this channel and I would love to see what ideas you have

my fav upgrade in torghast is "you walk faster if you're near a wall". It makes my runs so much faster because I get to the end boss and lose that much more quickly
and for catapulting you off ledges
anyone here played assass since buff?
dunno... depressed just that i can't do as much dps as people expect out of me.
it's sad that you can run an almost perfect assassination rotation and jazz but still go in and do more DPS as sub or outlaw without knowing it nearly as intimately
i do as much as assa as sub .. aka 1k too little compared to what others do on my gear lvl

ilvl 185.. people expect something like 3k+ and i can give 2k 😦
atm dunno if i wanna go to other class or just quit.
tried... 2k dps with it too
well.. atm i just can't go on any groups so i dunno...
i practice in torghast and random dungeon finder
also +2 keys are fairly easy to get into
I just keep shadow dance and symbols on cooldown, and shadow blades in any DPS phase or on cooldown
too bad i dunno any rogues really so can't even go ask from them what all (or is it really all) that i do wrong...
we have a sub channel....
well.. i know.. there they said pretty much just.. learn or go outlaw...
don't have swords for that so yea.
it is bad. i did heroic shriekwing tonight without knowing the rotation all that well and beat my normal dps
in Sin
also LFR is a nice option to try and get used to the rotation and cooldowns for a fight without it hampering your normal raid too
u see.. i do assa 2k.. and wunderbar.. sub is about steady 2k
yeah i look on Shriekwing fight, the logs, if you compare top logs (on normal) Sub and Sin, on average Sub is 1K higher DPS
so pretty death spec , sin
Heroic same story by the way
I don't know Sub rotation at all.. i just press buttons and i get higher DPS than my Sin XD
u should do way more on Sub
oh yea? i been told that butnot much of solutions on it.
Sim your gear, check your rotations
prob doing something wrong
maybe ask someone in Sub channel to check ur logs
Hi, maybe a dumb question. But how do I see my Rupture & Garrote uptimes on bosses in Logs?
debuffs, select enemies
and source = you
ahh thank you thank you
Ahh I completely missed it in the damage done tab lmao
yeah, I like debuffs more because you can also check vendetta, and you can Clearly see the "gaps" if you have any
@umbral flare We don't do self advertisement here 🙂
I main sub, it's a hard learning curve but once you get it down it's not too difficult. After knowing priority spells your next step is how too plan the fight depending on how many targets.
Came here to see if sin will be any better after the buff but doesn't seem so lol
sub's rotation is not hard at all, the thing you need to realize is that if you need to move away from the target, your dps will plummet
you need to maximize your uptime as much as you can, it especially hurts if you time your dance wrong
so knowing the fights counts even more as sub
sub is literally
you press dance and symbols at the same time every 30 seconds
and you keep rupture up

And on sin you just keep rupture and garrote up 
And slice n dice.
^
lets be honest guys, both are a little more complicated than that 
Remember when envenom used to refresh SnD? I want that back so badly.
Every spec has to keep snd up now
yep env refresh snd nice .maybe to a set in future raid
rather have baseline tho.. like env add 1s per cp used to snd duration
Bloodtalons 
They made feral feel worse but do more damage than sin
Guess you guys should just reroll
snd as passive would be better . like make finisher pop snd for x seconds. it's just so boring rn
Yeah for me it feels bad having to keep it up on all 3 specs
it's fine in classic where you have 3 buttons. not in current wow
PvE is not really that hard, atleast until you hit mythic.
If you're a semi decent player biggest thing you can do to improve your output is to play (one of) the strongest class / spec.
spec below mythic is irrelevant anyways
I would say any spec below mythic is viable, not that spec is irrelevant.

Here’s a question. Do you beautiful assassins use shiv on cool down, or before a 5 point envenom?
Every time its available :)
I try my best to do both but I’m not sure of it’s best use.
And for raiding, do you use poison knife in your rotation? I haven’t ever, but I’m wondering if there’s some underrated move I’m not knowing about.
Some ennemies ( in M+ ) will enrage at 30% , once you know them make sure you got Shiv available to break down this enrage
Shiv gets rid of enrage?
If the right poison in off hand yes
our ticks are too slow
If they increase speed we will have to re aplly them more often . A damage buff for ticks would be better imo
Is the haste stat prio listed in the pinned messages for all content or just raiding?
All content
As Sin is way slower than the two other spec . More haste grants us more energy regen
All PVE content, I think PVP has a different order
Pvp will be probably Vers first, then haste
But in general, last tier we didn’t need the haste for aoe because we’d end up wasting a shit ton of energy. Now, we need all the regen we can get
It was Vers > mastery for the one shot cheese. Unsure if that even works now
There will always be oneshot sheese im sure
Mastery dont really that important atm
The lurking mastery stacker
Vers / Haste
Haste / Crit
For Pve
Awesome thanks
Been playing sub since SL launch but swapped over to sin to see changes . . . My 4% haste may ve why it felt so bad
Uh yeah
Its way to low hahaha
Anything under 15% feels absolutely abysmal. Even at 18 currently, feels fairly bad
The rotation was like
Mutilate > wait 3 globals afk so i can press any other button
Buffs just brought assassin in line with a fairish curve, it’s still a bottom five, if not bottom spec
But fun
You are brave man to switch from Sub to Sin :)
Tl:dr
0/10 would not recommend 4% haste
I know sub is popular but i just kinda picked it because it seemed cool and id never actually playednit before
I was always combat until they replaced my baby
@onyx hemlock make sure to ALWAYS fight with Slice n Dice . Get this buff even applying rupt or envenom
Good to know, i was doing rupt > snd
Nah, opener is garrote > mutilate/ambush > SnD, then set up to rupture
Garrote +ambush, im assuming that means subterfuge is very standard
Not necessarily, that’s why I said mutilate/ambush, even with subterfuge, mutilate can be a fine selection as a #2 as well, as a double chance for crit with it could mean you get a full SnD off of your opener which is a huge boost
I use garrotte/ambush/ambush as my opener, using the points generated to rupture.
Is that dumb?
On single target anyway. On 3, everyone gets a garrotte.
I usually do ambush/snd/mutilate/garrote/rupture
but because im talented into master assassin
After my rupture I Kyrian talent into slice n dice, then use the convo point as a 7 point envenom.
Is the damage difference between using your opener to put up SnD instead of rupture that substantial?
The problem is sin right now has numbers so low
most of the damage comes from autoattacks and instant poisons
Mutilate will be better than ambush in those situations because it gives more CP on average and had the chance to trigger blindside
whispyr says the best opener with MA is garotte mut SnD
tbh i start with ambush cause I think it has more damage, and because I like the animation to start, but yeah, that makes sense lol
The animation is pretty awesome, to be fair haha
I noticed my dps is lacking as well. And I’ve been playing assassination for years now so it threw me right off.
Like, following the same rotation I have been (with the new modifications) and I was still not doing great.
Yeah the opener is Garrote > Mut > SnD.
At min. 3 CP SnD that can be carried for the entire fight, max is 5 CP that lets you get maybe an additional envenom off before refreshes
Is blindside being used now? Like is it the go to?
Mutilate also works with many of the powers in sin, with +poison and +mut damage both contributing to a higher output
Over ambush
Both EP and blindside are used, but I think blindside is preferred
if you're using dashing scoundrel as a legendary go master poisoner
On the (whole 6, wow!) mythic parses it’s 4/6 EP, 1 blind side, and 1 master poisoner
EP for Aoe its better in general
with so many fights having to cleave is great
but if you like ambush's animation as much as me, go blindside lmao
if it feels good, I pick it
If you’re really going to max/min, you’d have rolled into a different spec 
Just pick whatever feels good it doesn’t matter, we’ll still be around the bottom 
Hey, atleast if you dont do damage, they dont know if its because you're bad, its just the spec
profit
Not actually true afaik, blindside will still sim higher in single target, and ep in aoe, but MP with dashing is only like 1.5-2% behind I think
guys assassin is alive, topping dps in raid every boss 😄

Well if your top is 3.3k then there’s a chance yeh xD
haha yes but still
Purple parsing sin rogue is technically better than a grey parsing hunter
But if that hunter were any good
You’d be crushed
Haha, my guild didn't believe that ass rogue sucked till they saw I had gold parses 😛
There is so little people playing it right now, kinda sad
Well you gold parsing still doesn’t make it good
That's what I was saying
Oh I see
If I am gold parsing it must mean anyone with a brain is playing a different spec lol
Yeah, I read it wrong
I still think its fine for most players, because of its friendless to those who are new/unsure about raiding but yeah its just so far behind outlaw/sub
I think it’s fine for like normal raiding guilds
But if you’re gonna even push for a relatively early aotc, and light mythic
It’s just so bad
Yup, even for normal you can look at warcraft logs and its non-existent
I think FoK should instant kill on a crit
100% not viable.
I was 6th.
Kek
RIP
UH lost to sin 

Whispyr stuck answering sub questions also
Entering the forbidden chat 
That must be fake
It’s a choice I made :P
I’m still here
dude paid for tht UH to kill himself to lose xd
Nope, I out-damaged him and he was alive all fight iirc

What’s worse is I actually beat 3 UH DKs 
Yikes for those UH
whisp whats your favorite rogue spec?
Yeah, two of them it’s the normal, as one DK is constantly swapping specs, it’s whatever. The other is uh, newer. Our top damage was a 3800 frost mage 
Sin
Hi mate, i am new here
Can someone tell me what's the cap of Haste, crit plz ?
Or maybe u have a link to see it somewhere ?
!bis
Whispyrs Bis list: http://tiny.cc/76r5tz
We don’t have stat caps
There’s not necessarily a cap, but that goes over diminishing returns
The diminishing returns don’t wildly affect stat priority either
i have heard we need 20% haste and when we have that it's prio crit ? can someone tell me if it's true ?
That’s bullshit
That's like a warrior thing
If anyone tells you that at x%, you prioritize something else
They’re just saying shit with no basis
!bis
Whispyrs Bis list: http://tiny.cc/76r5tz
sin in this raid doing about 2.9k
using crimson tempest
gear isn't that great either
2 2 1 2 2 2 3
using zold
Yikes
3k is yikes?
Little bit, yeah
Depends on the fight honestly
But 3k is sorta low end on a lot of them
5k is starting to be broken on top heroic logs across the board
Except for council
3k on council is pretty okay
@sunking
Well yeah
Sun king and generals its over 6k
kk
Props to @strange python At least he has a positive outlook. Too many complainers.
Having a positive outlook and accepting the reality of current balance are two different things
I can be hopeful for more sin buffs
I would switch back to sin in a heartbeat
But it’s not about being positive
do logs count BF dmg you cleave off shades?
No
thought so
Shades are removed
was just curious if it was meaningful dmg or not with the aoe bleeds
Yeh I mean in cleave, can be good
hmm they aren't running any haste at all
That’s problematic
wonder if it would be decent with haste
What fight are they running CT on
I run CT on that fight as well, my guild uses me as a utility bot though
ya im just hitting pedestals and kicking people as OL haha
Because we have some real AoE gamers as is, so it’s just easier to fok get snd up, ruptures and shit then burst shade.
haha im still learning raids and trying not to get yelled at
as long as I can sneak by with 3.0 and not get in trouble im happy
haha

Yep
umm M+ group declines my SIn
Specifically because you’re sin?
probably
Unlucky
m+ are hard to get into now
everyone wants mm/lust
takes me about 20 mins of spamming to get into one
Yeah I’ve seen a lot people ask for lust
can sin some how do good dmg in m+?
or 'ranged preferred'
Community perception of drums way down
how much are drums?
If things die quickly and you pull 3 target, it’s possible
can't you buy them?
Yeah you can
i think i remember someone running out and buying some
hmm might start carrying some
Just a bunch of the basic leather
yay beat sunking in pug
Pog
anyone an idea where to get the +10 redeemed souls this week written in the medivh covenant sanctum guide? it says we get
x15 souls this week
What should sin do, when you have to switch to kill a lot of small weak adds? We were on Denathrius in normal now and guy said that i did too little damage. Can i even do anything here? These adds supposed to die like in 5 seconds, my bleeds are not very useful here
I would also like to know, this is the main thing that keeps me from playing sin in raids atm
I have no idea what to do in hectic aoe situations when things die so fast
you cry
can pool 5cp into a CT
but CT sucks on that fight
can run hidden blades
that might be okay
otherwise MA legendary and vanish fok might be good
all in all though
not much you can do
it's always been like that for sin
if there's an add that flies out of the main clump, you can help with that one
small adds
you're playing sin
just cry in a corner, we're not for that
is it worth it though to take hidden blades just for first phase of denathrius battle?
What is the best legendary at the moment for assa
I know assa is shit in general
But anyways
Check the pins
overall would be zoldyck
I see all top m+ player crafting the 30% extra dmg one
Just wanted to make sure I am not mistaken
hmmm, where? top assa player has only 2 +14 on time and a +15 not timed
the player you are talking about probably played sub/outlaw in most keys then
yeah
yup
Raider.IO is a World of Warcraft (WoW) Mythic+ and Raid Progression rankings site! You can view your Character & Guild Profiles, check your Mythic+ scores & Raid Progress, follow the Race to World First, and much more.
Top m+ assa Rouge.
I doubt he Switched to sub since he has haste on all his items
You’re right mostly +13 and 14
Still decent enough
Ofc you can easily time those levels but it’s more up to the coordination of the whole group and playing with big blasters
Like hunter, unholy, rets or so
is necro assa good on arenas?
i leveled up my rogue and have no idea what to do with him
i do alright but you need a shitload of haste, switched back to sub until i can get all the m+ haste gear
covenant is almost irrelevant rn since kyrian nerf
assa legendary for pvp
yes im a king
same 
uhh yeah Sin is the only thing I really like in WoW still i play other games too. So whin Sin sucks im like meh screw WoW for now it's not a game I gotta play.
but i been doing Arms recently its kinda fun condomn is lit
it's been really hard to find another spec i want to play other than sin 😦
it just doesn't do it for me. Outlaw is fun enough but I feel like I'm kinda trash at it at the moment, lol. I need more practice
I've been levelling alts and playing UH/Blood dk because sin is in a bad state
I've done a couple M+ runs (2-6) and I'm doing better as assassination than subtlety. I'm thinking when played optimally Sub may sim higher but assassination is a bit more user friendly.
whats sin?
assasSINation?
i remember the days of multiate / rupture / envenom on wotlk naxx..
Yeah sin is assassination
I actually find sin a little more difficult in aoe. In single target sure, sub isn’t as user friendly, but in aoe the rotation is literally just push all your CDs and smash 2 buttons over and over
Having to multidot can be quite difficult sometimes
Playing sub on aoe felt like it was easy mode after playing sin for so long
So is the vendetta memory useless?
Because it’s the first fucking assassination thing I’ve gotten.
Yep
10 conduits, none based around assassination.
Legendary you mean?
Yeah.
Memory of whatever it’s called from Mistcaller. Drops vendetta time by 1 second for every 50 energy spent.
Our bis comes back on rotation in 2 weeks fron torg
The vendetta one isn’t very good
Doomblade should be from next weeks torg
That’s pretty good in raid
If it’s rhe only one I have, should I get it anyway or not bother for now?
Is the wowhead guide a pretty good resource for rotation? I think I need to improve mine
They’re all good
And written by great rogues
Wowhead’s by mystler, one of the theorycrafters
Icyveins by our own seliathan, fantastic m+ player
And ravenholdt by our weak, also a fantastic rogue
I found you can actually gear all the better Assassin and Outlaw legs at the same time, so I might do both myself
Play Sin and swap when they bitch
yup
my OL sims 4.3k, my sin sims 3.6

Is there a way to track the number of active bone spike with a weak aura?
You can try to do it with TellMeWhen . Good add on for keeping track
should be a setting in the text display, if you give me a second I can make you one
https://wago.io/uWtrvyqDR I made 3, of different complexities to illustrate how I would use it, should be able to just yoink the logic on the simple one and apply it to whatever you want, let me know if you need more help :)
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
Do you guys actually like SnD for sin? I mean we already got so much ramping to do
idk i liked the other assa gameplay more
I do
i guess im the only one then 😛
really?
yes
Whispyr the weak aura doesnt workj with serated
I don't mind snd, I just wish it was more energy and less AA speed.
or maybe just more energy in our current state
The simple one is exactly what im looking for . It does work with rupture but when i change the spell id to bone spike one it wont ever pop
are you sure you're using the right spell id
bone spike has 2 spell id's
the instant damage
and the dot
make sure you're grabbing the spell id off of the dot debuff
hm
do you use elvui
if you put bonespike on an enemy, and then look at the enemies debuff
it should give you a spell id for that debuff
@deft vault
is there a macro to copy paste into the gse2 for ambush/mut? i have no idea how to use the addon
or is it literally just /cast ambush /cast mut
!bs
Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz
Showcase Video: #assassination message
what does this do exactly?
makes blindside a braindead talent
you just spam the button
and it cycles between ambush and mut over and over and over
so if you ever get a free ambush
it'll use that
324073 is the right one
hm
do you have the whole pack loaded
nah i deleted the other 2
okay now I'm confused
duplicated the rupture simple one
oh
well try moving the rupture one
hm
okay give me a second
I'm not a necrolord so its a little difficult for me to test, that's why I did it with rupture in the first place
can you send me a screenshot of the trigger you have on your bone spike one @deft vault ?
lol i just had the most insane anima rng for this torghast run i just did
first steps and jack of all trades, 35% agi buff but i can't jump
like all the ones that give you a talent, red ink
and a whole bunch of op generals
my ruptures were ticking for 13.2k lol
yeah idk, I can't figure it out
pretty sure it has something to do with bone spike being permanent
yeah its very possible
just switched into Sin for literally the first time since BfA and... didn't Envenom buff used to have pandemic?
nop

is Assass viable in pvp right now?
kinda-ish maybe
Hello fellow rogues, how are you coping?
This channel has been deprecated until further notice. For Assassination discussion, please re-specialize. Thank you for your understanding.
do we have cevenants sims upgrade?
do we what now
i mean for assasssins is venthyr still 2nd place on raid+dungs?
i mean upgrades
like the /biss or /fuu
we just got a 5% aura buff
Hard no
it didn't change anything
Assa is literally bottom spec, by a huge margin
aura buff?
all damage except melee's
well
my bis lists have been resimmed to account for trinkets and the 5% buff
but it didn't change anything
i mean i want to see something similar that once posted the best way for covenants
so venthr is still 2nd raid+ dung
It makes me sad 😦

I am Assa main
toxic af
I am literally Assa main
hahahaha
But right now Assa is bench
I mean
rogue is bench
if we're going that far
melee in general is pretty much bench
you bring a war for the buff, and a monk for the debuff
i great supporter of the idea that.....if you know your specc 100% we are all equal
Well sadly
the flaw in that, is if the other people know their spec 100%, you're not equal anymore
The idea won't hold on higher end
but thats craps and dreams.......i made 100% parses of 1500 at slugdefist with 3700k dmg and a shadow priest with 40 parses made 4800 😦
fucik equality
sorry
!biss
!bis
Whispyrs Bis list: http://tiny.cc/76r5tz
if all specs did equal dmg people would probably just bring a warrior, ww monk and hunters
it would be war tank monk tank
It'd be 4 rdruids a protwar brewmonk and 14 hunters
Eh, I guess a couple discs for the PI
Yall sound like you're making a christmas list
well you never do
the point of bringing a sin rogue
is to make your roster look bigger
and to make him feel important
mm strange.. wtf i sim higher with 1 potency conduit than wiht 2..
i thought at 13 it was better to go deamweaver and go for well placed steel and lothal poison..
instead it sims lower than stay NYA
definitely
double potency on dreamweaver is actually just worse than 1 potency and social butterfly
nothing weird about that
good morning good people
could you confirm if Assa is viable or not? I am not a high end player I just want to do some dungeons and raid maybe to heroic lvl
its not viable, but if you're only doing heroic and your guild doesn't care, it'll be able to do fine
a good sin rogue will beat a shit X spec
a good sin rogue will however get stomped by a good/decent meta spec
i did good logs
but dps is just BAD
so..
for sure sin will not go mithich progress raid
but normal and hc it is NP
you will be bottom dps
and is Blizzard going to implement any additional changes?
but who care in normal anc hc
i did good pareses i also did better in some fight thatn sub and outlaw but dps is so BAD so,,
yeah, thank you anyways
I'll try to learn sub then, maybe in some future patch I can reroll assa
doubtful we'll see more changes at this point
for now wiht mithic race going on
for sure no changes
after that maybe something will happnes
How's this channel still alive 
its the sin waiting room

these upper m+ dungeons are just bullet hell
Sin chat feels like sub post-zul 
we just need to send this to blizz:
We’re sinners.
Not even the fun kind >.>
On the plus side, I ran normal Castle last night and beat our quite a few people on dps. Because they died. Fuck them.
kyrian or night fae??
I've been doing really well in terms of DPS for assas rogue on normal, lots of high parses and beating out people but then I think wow I could be doing more with less effort if I played something not garbonzo

Not sure if that works, this is my highest atm
Its my first time raiding so be gentle >.<
highest relative to other assassin rogues that is 4head
i aint flaming no one playing sin
yeah haha
all my parses are basically that because no one is playing, providing I don't die early or something
did u die early on shriekwing ?
Assassination:
Not on normal, it was literally my first time in a raid so I was just terrible and heroic sherik is the same lol
nothing changed with relative balance, just updated it for the 5% buff
yeah on hc i mean
It was my first every HC raid, so I was trying not to fuck up more than anything haha
yeah i died too on shriekwing first kill
ngl i do not appreciate that boss very much
For a first time fight I liked it, it had clear mechanics to work around which I thought was nice
any good trinkets I should be aware of? in M and raid
plaguefall trinket
Why does Blizz want me to go sub 😦
Cause blizz hate us
I embrace sin not being top dog
That sounds like Outlaw talk 
No you just sounded like a pirate
I haven't played combat since vanilla
Me since wotlk
I mean, I tried it on Legion, but after 2 dungeons getting only 1 buff per roll the bones, I hated it
i last touched combat during SoO
Honestly I'm so baffled by their class balance this patch, Outlaw is not only the highest ST but also the highest AoE/Cleave among the three specs based on wcl. They completely threw class identity out of the window this patch.
lucid dreams 
didnt think i'd miss bfa but SS and EB gone hurts

hey can someone explain the 0 in the talent pinned
i assume it means to not select a talent
but i dont really udnerstand
kind of confused
presume 0 means any
most talent trees have a few optionals usually defensives, its fine to pick w/e
