Fair
yeah lethal poisons + well placed steel felt really nice for me in pvp
hi moving back to assasin from outlaw do I have to buy new legendary... if so can I ask what best is
Zoldyck
is shoulders best for this?
at this point it doesnt matter
k ty
Looks like when I upgrade first piece at lvl 190 is Zoldyck insignia best power to put on legs?.
Yes overall the best lego for sin right now
How does a fully upgraded PVP trinket compare to our PVE trinkets? Trying to decide where to spend my honour

So guys, after a long abstinence of rogue I am leveling my rogue now: how on earth do we use our kyrian ability?
I am kinda lost
you just use it and you have 45s to consume the buff
just finish at the empowered combo point
lol no
just dont rush it, mut again > envenom and try again
garrote gives 1 combo point, you can use that when you need to refresh it
and mut gives 2, 3 or 4 combo points
never knew this existed! Thanks!
interesting reads

Big gz river
Assas rogue is back ?
Mood
Facts
#off-topic <-- that way
?
There was a meme about the current stock market fiasco, Fuu just redirected river to off topic
assassination stonks?

i am playing assa for the first time in CN HC .... and my stone legion log got disqualified (red background). what does that mean and why did it happen?
did you perhaps accidentially use echoing reprimand from stealth?
Quick google says it apparently procs Expose Weakness
which would be a bug so they would invalidate any logs with it I assume
but Find Weakness is a Sub thingy... why should it block for assassination?
oh really? i guess i didnt see it, because i only display the sin debuffs
can probably check the logs to see if the boss had it or something
I am reading the wowhead assassination guide on the openers. With Subterfuge, I thought we Garotte, SnD, Garotte then continue the rotation? Did that change?
that way, you get the empowered garotte for longer.
okay, found the tab ... yes, i did apply Find Weakness.
but i hadn't known about the bug prior
Its not a big deal its just taken off the leaderboards
Its not like a rules thing its just to stop the leaderboards from being potentially skewed by people abusing a bug
Empowered garrote isn’t as big of a deal as it was before.
It’s garrote > mutilate > SnD
Easier to blanket remove all logs with the proc than go one by one
The few seconds won’t make or break ur parse like SS made it
Ok, thanks
Also, for the record, this is my first raid as assassination this xpac, and my god I missed it
Good luck, have fun! It’s still much worse than outlaw but you’ll do great
vers/crit or vers/haste for doomblade 
how much min. haste would you guys say that assa needs to work "good? min. 20%?
there is technically no number
but sin started "feeling" good after about 14% haste
Crit/Mastery I heard is bis /s 
whos saying non-haste for sin dafuck
That was the first time I’ve blind trolled iirc?????????
Definitely was a /s.
The true answer is fluid, and can change at any point, so do what you think is best... but haste has been best or close for a bit.
what is a good fight style on raid bots for a good mix of raiding/mythics like a all rounder?
only play assassination
It’s better to just do multiple sims at that point.
There’s no one sim that’ll work universally.
For your boss fights in raid sim what the fight is similar to, patchwork, patchwork add cleave, etc. and for mythics, it’s a bit more hairy to nail down exactly. Dungeon slice can be sketchy
dungeonslice is fine
it's supposed to show a mixture of single target and aoe, with restealths between packs
it's not supposed to be "here's how much damage you do in a dungeon"
but in terms of what its trying to show, it's pretty good
My dslice sims are really close to my single target sims now which is interesting
Like only 6-700 dps higher
that's like almost 15%
yeah but outlaw and sub have like 1000+ dps differences between dslice and single target
i don't think it's a problem, just interesting
best guess I got is "lul dots and ramp time"
lot of the dungeon slice pulls are like 20-45 seconds
and then you got burst and stuff
idk
its a mixture
yeah wasn't sure what the mix was
so it used to be 4-6 for short pull
like 15 sec
and then 1-3 for 30ish sec
alternating
hmm
that then got bumped up
so now there's more uptime on the bigger 4-6 sizes
which is where you get this now
so more single target, but also more 6-7 target
and less 2-5
interesting
yeah i'm not sure why the gulf is so large then other than i guess loltuning
the other thing that's been mentioned by some people is "lul sin apl in aoe sucks"
but no one seems to know whats wrong with it
other than "it's bad"
too many restealths not enough restealths
over time, I've come to realize that people want a way to sim for dungeons
but then when they have a way to sim for dungeons, it's not good enough
i think some people just aren't acquainted with how strong the TC work is for rogue
compared to like, uh
shaman
uhm, why does dungeon sim not take 14x marked resets into account????????????????????????
smh, lazy tcs
cause it actually ends up being a loss to try and snipe those marked resets that hard
iirc

but ye, marked is a bit weird
like, i try too get resets somewhat, but not a hardon for it
best thing about spitefull, easy mark resets lel
trashpack end->mark on 1 and then snd for full duration on next pull
would've just been a better version of dashing
dashing but with more damage and more energy
True, I didn't think about it that way
Hey I'm hesitating to level up a rogue assa bcs I like dots but I can't finf any stream/gameplay, do you guys know where I can find some ?
Icyveins has everything you'll need baby
also, anyone chime in on elaborate planning over blindside on fights where there isn't much moving?
Shriekwing for example.
I've used blindside and done pretty well, but it seems liek a constant 10 percent increase.
to go with elaborate, I mean.
blindside is better on 1 target
I just want to see some gameplay for the rotation and all :/
Oh no worries, sorry buddy.
And if the spells looks cool
Ambush looks badass.
I legit can't find anyone playing it, I'm I just out of luck ?
is this the move?
I mean, if you wanna see some heroic shit I streamed my raid: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/874058310
Will do, thanks :)
So is the damage output from average blindsides more than the 10 percent increase you think?
or, you know?*
I do know
it's not so much about the damage of ambush, it's more about the free 2+cp from each one
it helps with our single target energy problems quite a bit
it only refreshes if it falls off
and you could just make it only work from stealth/subter

fun fact: finality rupture works with assa
!rotation
!guide
is what you're looking for
ty
are raid legendary power drops 100% drop rate ?
raid only
kk good
torghst too, in fact
yea i knew that, wasnt too sure about raids
im not having luck with the crit leggo from top
it SHOULD but im not 100%
What? Legos are all 100%
not the one from theater of pain
So that one specifically ?
Because every legendary across multiple classes including that one I’ve gotten first time. Odd
i have 9 attempts on the ToP legendary
From m+ are u running normal dungeons
im doin m0
Odd ok I guess I stand corrected try a +2 I suppose
i prob should try a m+
hmm
yes
cool
is 180 ilvl good enough to clear floor 8 in torghast?
might be rough
@balmy condor the correct opener is muti, snd, muti or covenant, snd, muti?
cause was looking at icy veins
for subterfudge opener and saw then the MA opener
not sure what the question is
you can put your covenant in a lot of different places
and have it be fine
so its like dont care about the opener just use everything correct
usually for most specs, yeah
there's not much loss in doing one gcd slightly differently
im always trying to shiv before sepsis
thats for me the only im trying
and snd refresh at 9 or less
i thought shiv boost the dmg from sepsis
could check what i can do better on huntsman
you
it does, that's why you cast after
sepsis is 10 seconds, shiv is 9
my subterfudge opener i so clunky i must say
does shiv backwards boost sepsis ?
i thought always before

Whats everyone's haste at these days, starting to feel good again on 23% (763)
20~21 % with 28~27% crit (due to night elf passive)
Thats some chunky crit, think im sitting 24%, belf 1%
I got 23% mastery, I just cant get rid of it!
Probably swapping to Sin if it performs better in 9.1, my boomer hands don't wanna mash sinister strike anymore 
That's one of the problems I have too, most of the gear that grants a huge chunk of haste has some mastery on it
Helm, neck, chest and one dagger with it feelsbadman
that ring that inerva drops gives a crapton of haste iirc
inerva ring is so good with that Haste/Crit
But Denathrius one
Most haste possible, but mastery as side-stat
socket 
That was a lucky vault reward, but gotta get spamming the rep grind with Venari to socket everything ^
Was worth buying the cheaper BoE 226 (haste/vers) bracers, and then socketing yourself
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
i simmed myself on stat.weifgts and Both slice and Dice and patchwerk IT was versa>crit>haste i'm at 19% haste
Should.I.go haste anyway?
Is exsang currently completely useless?
yes
I would probably get more haste if I were you
top gear sim new gear, is the only correct answer
stat weight sims are janky
well guess what
it's the same answer
yeah I know
too late your dps is now low
hhahah
honestly I played assa since legion
but... ;c
I palyed a bg yesterday felt so nice
how is sin in torghast?
Sins great in torghast
i've only done sub and outlaw, was wondering what interesting animas they get
Interesting anima? In a rogue? Lmao. Wrong class. If you see red ink, it’s pretty good, otherwise. Boring but good
lol
ya i get red ink option as outlaw and sub too
like outlaw has the grapple hook gives 400% damage increase to next finisher anima
is there any big one like that for sin
shadowstep 400 percent
also has one where if you vanish, all your dots finish its dmg on the target
so a full rupture, garrole, sepsis and deadly hurts
oh yeah that would be good for sin, i always skip that on outlaw
that's how i wish Exsanguinate talent would feel 😛
yeah that really sucked when it was nerfed :\
I might actually have a found a decent burst for assassination in raid ngl
I dont have gear so I cant confirm if its good or not
but it does a lot of damage, like a LOOOOOT
so instead of just opening up after vanish, the plan is literally go afk for like 5 seconds in vanish
because ur dots are still ticking with about 100 percent crit
did about 9k dps with pvp gear in the raid last night
not overall, its like just that burst window
lol
trying to understand why it is helpful to not continue attacking
I dont have like good gear tho
I can only imagine how much it would do with decent gear
MA legendary, not talent im assuming
Nope, talent
Any recommendations on conduits for pvp assa?
I was using doomblade legendary since I pvp O.O
Prob the instant poisons one
and the shiv one
for pvp I recommend septic shock
and shiv one
damn i forgot exsang fights with alacrity
theres a non zero chance that some stupid shit like Subt + exang+ sigil of MA could have some stupid burst
I forgot about vein ripper. We have one cool torghast power
I just looked it up, top assassa rogue does 11k DPS in burst with time warp
how does vein rippers work in pve though, doesn't vanish reset the mobs?
ok good
If anyone wants to test the opener I was talking about in raid
Meh nvm
Not sure it its good yet
yeah, i'll play around with it on monday
also deciding which leggo to make.. i have enough ash for one: zoldyck or dashing
zoldyck
TY
is anyone playing atm?
like online
I wanna show the burst and thats it pretty much
fck it Ill show a screenshot
thats on a dummy
isnt that theoretically 4 seconds
Just just the opener
thats just the opener
I can def adjust the timing for like timewarp and stuff
but thats on demand every time that vanish is up
so youre using MA and just opening garrote and rupture and letting those and deadly just crit
Yea Im thinking of changing it to use nightstalker and using the master assassin legendary for 50 percent more dmg on the burst
are you night fae? could also use sepsis and see if the mastery from niya or extra damage from korayn is worth
I am nightfae
I go the mastery from niya
but I can def test it real quick
about 10.8k
so I did switch to MA legendary and doesn't actually seem to do much more dmg weirdly enough
this is the gear Im trying now
try MA w/ Subt G->Amb->G->R->vendetta+trinket->Exsanguinate->vanish
probably afk to full energy mut->snd->mut->env
so did about 12k did the exsanguinate
with the*
and thats before details reset
so could have done more
@balmy condor so how do we make an APL that sits in stealth for a few seconds to take advantage of the 100% crit with DoTS in stealth with MA 
I’m sure that wouldn’t be a dps increase
With MA legendary and subterfuge maybe you'd go: garotte mutilate rupture sepsis shiv vendetta vanish. The question is when to come out of stealth. I feel like the longer you stay in stealth the harder it will be for you to make up the DPS loss from not autoattacking
Losing the melee and poison dmg
You only stay in stealth for about 4 seconds
100% crit on rupture and empowered garotte and deadly poison
And sepsis
With shiv
and I slice and dice with the 4 combos after the opener
you can check logs from heroic, I can link them, Im not the best assassination rogue but it really does do a lot of dmg
I mean normal
I think there's some potential
I would like someone smarter than I am to come up with something with it, doing better numbers than the current no1 assassination rogue with the best gear on his burst
That's why I pinged whispyr to ask about how to sim it
That's the way to test it for real
The sim would compare it against the regular opener
I really hope I stumbled upon something good for the class because it might def make it somewhat competitive
Sepsis hits like an absolute truck so I could see it possibly being worth to stay in stealth until the bonk
Especially with nightstalker
Yea I even ran the septic shock conduit
and it gave me good numbers
instant poisons sims 14 more dmg than septic shock
Sepsis doing 37%+50% extra damage from well placed steel and nightstalker is no joke
And garotte and rupture and instant poison would also get that extra 50%
Ill take a SC of the sepsis proc also
You should log this
God damn lmao
That's like bigger than an envenom crit
What if you came out of stealth with a MFD envenom 
With NS
I usually marked for death rupture on the opener
This is literally the PvP opener but in pve lmao
I was thinking MFD envenom out of stealth after vanish
garrote->mut->rupture->mut>vend->exsang->vanish-> wait 4s->env->mut->env->mut->snd
subt+MA leggo
yea Im not running it
for stupid dumb burst opening exsang will be better full stop
Yeah but we want more damage overall and this is a boss fight which means no exsang
I'd like to see
Garotte > mut > rupture > sepsis > shiv > vendetta > vanish > wait 4s or 8s for sepsis to finish > envenom > mut x 2 > snd
I'd like to compare those with subterfuge and with nightstalker
And with the MA talent with zoldyck vs the legendary Ma
I would try and show it but details resets
how do I log it?
But really id like to see this simmed
You need to enable advanced combat logging in your network options and then upload your wowcombatlog.txt file onto Warcraftlogs.com
ok Im not the best geared person but sure thing, will do
If I can figure out how to program a wait into the APL in raidbots I'll sim the hell out of this haha
Im going to keep using MFD for the 50 percent increase on rupture
So my opener will look like this
gimme a sec
MFD-RUP-sepsis-shiv-Vendetta(and trinkets)- vanishj- (wait for sepsis to proc)- envenom- mut- snd
oh fck forgot garrote in the list
You should garotte too because that will get 50% more damage while you are in stealth
So my question, should I garrote first with rupture or should I garrote when I reopen?
Garotte first
I think it would be better to save MFD, or possibly not even use it at all
Because if you open with garotte, and then reopen with rupture after vanish, you get the 50% snapshot on both
even for a 50 percent increased rupture?
All you're gaining is the few seconds pre-vanish of 50% extra damage
You could try getting rupture up before vanish nd then reopening with the NS'D rupture
It might not be good to not get rupture up at all until the reopen because that's at least 10 seconds or so
so many options, rupture is a large part of the dmg tho
Ill just try everything, Ill try your opener first then just try it without rupture
until the snapshot
Just leave a bit of time between each attempt or rotate between dummies so that the log can distinguish between them
Well I guess you have to wait for vanish every time so it should be fine
so where is the logs in my files again?
Haste/Vers best stats atm for Single Target correct?
Yes
i stick to huntsman
You should switch
Refresh garotte and rupture on huntsman right as the shades spawn and then hard swap
Yo are we using NS now or what ?
Dunno mate, need papa whispyr in here to teach me how to sim this
Before I can say for sure
if i dont do that, will parses suffer?
or you mean more like helping the guild ?
The shades are counted in your parse. So to do maximum damage you want to dot them up as well as the boss
ahh i thought they werent counted?
They are but the damage is normalized iirc
Like the +100% damage modifier is removed but they still count
The shades likely won’t live longer than 15’s so you’ll have to gauge the worth. The damage is counted but at a normal rate instead of the double damage like oshosi said
Ill parse another one using a different opener
this was without using rupture right away
so to be safe, i better switch to shade than not at all right
safe parse wise, guild downs the boss nevertheless
but im the only one with hunts man along with tanks, everyone goes to shade
I think that assasination rogue is one of the more flexible specs with regards to target switching so I'd say there's no reason not to switch
With shadowstep and soulshape I can get across the room to the shade and back to the boss with almost no loss in uptime
And have garotte+rupture still ticking the whole time
It’s just a matter of how much it’s worth, you don’t wanna be putting full cp ruptures on the shades because you’ll get half the duration from it. If your bleeds are gonna fall off the dogs or huntsman it’s likely not worth it to switch
i think waiting for the entirety of sepsis is too ambitious
half your vendetta is at 5k dps
You also didnt shiv it looks like
Which is the whole point of waiting for the sepsis
nvm you did its just not showing up in casts for some reason
no rupture?
I did it at the end to compare
I did it specifically at the end for the 50 percent snapshot
so I did it again just to compare
I do more dps waiting for the snapshot
than without the snapshot
This is a limited test though TBH
I'm more curious how this would fare over a 5 minute fight compared to the regular rotation
I expect it to be worse tbh
The only real change is taking NS and idling in your burst window for it and MA
Want me to just wail out on a dummy for 5 mins?
🤷♂️ i think getting an apl with it in mind is probably how you'd check it
Anyone tried out Sin in pvp? Trying to pick it up for rbgs since outlaw isn't fantastic in pvp.
I've been running it. Almost 1600. It's okay, has decent pressure and good burst every once in a while
Not really outstanding at anything though
I'm using Mark for leggo, but I am in the build up for soul ash for another if a different one is better.
I don't think there is. I've been trying doomblade and I'm not convinced it's better than mark
Shiv into vanish with 5 cp, crit on envenom feels so strong.
It's very satisfying, and doomblade makes that better
The bleed on it doesn't do a ton of damage though sadly
the bleed is basically like a 2-3% buff on mut
which already doesn't do that much damage
I want to experiment with maim/mangle but I have to wait for the stupid conduit points to recharge
how many times do you swap a day? lol
I'm trying to get to 1600 also just cause pvp gear is better statted than m+, and outlaw and Sin stat prio is the same.
Not much, but it's easy to use them all up and it takes a long time to get them back when you do
I'm at 1540 right now, kinda scared I'm gonna get into a losing streak and drop 
this is my conspiracy theory:
blizz made pvp gearing more efficient to increase pvp participation
cause they realized that M+ isn't doing well as an "esport"
Well it worked
it just sucks as a rogue as any spec you have all this setup in arena
I'd kill for a conquest/badge reward for pve content.
while meanwhile an arms warrior is just like "zug zug" and presses bladestorm
My buddy plays unholy when we duo, and he always dumps on me for not having the dps he does except legit all of his comes from his pets, and I spend globals on cc and setup.
Rogue is in a really weird spot rn
You put in all of this work for not much reward
Across all types of content
I'm just glad I've got tank and healer friends that I can always group with when I play outlaw
De other side Hakkar, when do i use distract on small ones to make him not eat them at start?
you cloak right before consume cast ends right? or when it starts? on hungering
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
is the 12%haste from dreamweaver not better than the mastery gain from niya with the Niya's Tools: Burrs
even better 😮 can use korayn for outlaw dreamweaver for assa and niya for sub
nail the rotation but almost a perfect play only getting me blue logs, will that change with gear?
been tested a million times, it's shit
say it aint so
Whispy do you mind helping with a log?

thats why I wanna test it
I dont think it is actually trolling in this case
its only 4 seconds staying in stealth
So the opener is
Garrote-Mut-Rup-Sepsis-shiv-vanish-wait 4 seconds- envenom- mut- snd-normal rotation
Yes
fine

shouldnt MA opener be mut-slice-mut-gar-rup
Im being an idiot and trying new stuff
yes but for some reason the single braincell that all of #pvp uses is really into the idea of vanishing and sitting in stealth while doing 30% of their damage
oh ok i was like shit i been fuckin up lolp
also just found out from wow analyzer if youve two on use trinkets, you can use both in fight..
i just didnt use the second, at all
there's a 20 second cd on using on use
There’s a reason I swapped out my second on use trinket when I got the heroic inerva trinket 
i just macro them both into the same button and press it twice
my weakaura reminds me
i've never missed a cast of either after setting it up that way
Ten DPS loss by using hateful chain instead of dreadfire vessel
i'd do anything for a phial though ;-;
I’ll take that L. Same.
this question comes up like every other week
is there a best legendary per boss in CN?
zoldyck is best in which slot?
legs usually
is best weapon enchants sharp + shadowcore?

Fuck sorry im bothering again, but can you guys name the top legos to have?

What's the 5% new aura buff going to wind up being a net increase of?
now we talkin

So will this be enough to make it viable?
Hello.
At this time, we’re testing a round of adjustments to underperforming classes that we intend to make with weekly resets (on 3 February in this region).
Classes
Death Knight
Frost
All damage abilities increased by 5%.
Demon Hunter
Havoc
All damage abilities increased by
came here to ask this
it was already viable
eventually guys

Depends on what you mean by viable, it'll still have similar issues to sub
Only @balmy condor knows the truth. We must get his guidance!
Whomst

"Is Sin viable now"

does anyone know if the aura buff also applies to pvp
I’m gonna cry lmao
Yes it does
my char already sims so close to sub
sin actually interessting now?
Excuse me?!?
dude if assa comes back in raids im legit deleting all my alts and focusing on the rogue 1000%
I almost made a DK alt today
You’re telling me I need to resim everything again
ALMOST

Lets hope its enough to make it good in raid again
I just started leveling a fire mage today
Sub players on suicide watch
B R U H

❤️
i'm so happy

This is fucking stonks

Hey guys, have we restarted all the servers on the planet for an announced patch next week 
i can resim the spreadsheet tomorrow (i hope i have time for that)
whats this mean now assas> sub?
Need a pin for the new spreadsheet!
this was always the case 😄
yo whispyr assa META?
huh what's going on

not that hyped about modifier buffs tbh
What we saying then, 5% new meta?
@strange python always is a strong word
sin got a 5% dmg buff
assassination is now the number 1 simming raid, M+, and pvp spec 
@fleet whale ☝️
oh boy here we go again
lol sin got buffed again
and there is no new pin
is it finally where it should be?
Everyone start investing NOW
who knows, too soon

Get that flex tape meme in here with blizzard slapping 5% buffs
IS IT VIABLE
IS IT GOOD
CAN I PLAY SIN IN RAIDS
it should be viable now
I got 6K soul ash just waiting for a dagger to drop so I can play some sin
So viable boys?
Doesn't this put it slightly past what people said it needed in beta
The boys need answers
OP?
man peen is about to CASH IN
Who cares
sigh....after spending so much ash on sub and outlaw they finally giving sin the love it deserves
🐑
everyone in a nice neat row
I can't wait for questions asking whether raidbots has been updated with the changes only announced 5 mins ago
Tell us Whispyr are we bis?
Zoldyck or Bloodfang 
we love you whispyr 
WHISPYR WHISPYR CAN I GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE AS SIN

Fuck your lunch bro, crunch the numbers
No soul ash for sin 
Do I really need to make another lego....
hehe
I legit made my 225 sub logo 235 this week cause I didn't think they'd insta buff sin again 
broo xd
TOP KEKS

I have ash for it
EMRAGHERD THEM BEFFS
i played sin this whole season
i have ash, i dont have MONEY
DELETE THIS
they reward my patience
Nerd

THAT IS YOUR KING
PEEN
THE NUMBER ONE SIN ROGUE IN THE WORLD
i made my leggo at the 8% buff figuring theyd do it again an glad i did lol

how would u rate assasination spec after the buff ? Against the two other specs ?
69/10
more buffs
whyspyrs got 25 sims going right now trying to answer questions lol
Still behind sub and outlaw
IS ITIT OGODOOGODODOODD?????
Serious question though
What’s was wrong with sin?
Well it was already on par with sub after the 8% so
how much time you got
GG sub players
dude
tbh this might be an overbuff, i think it might be bis for sire atleast now. still kinda dogass for SLG
😄
Something wrong with certiain core spells or dmg is just bad?
yeah rip sub lol i main outlaw so i can kinda switch freely if id like
sin has been blanket buffed 18%
I mean chances are it will still be below Outlaw right but it will be close enough to be a viable pick just because you like the spec more
Are you holding to sub Nairda?
Which is what we want
Fuck white hits being top dmg in a dot spec
The warr buff tho
Yes, another 5% sin buff. We will be comparable to sub with this buff, and with zoldyck, win by a decent margin on execute (such as p3 sire). If you have heavy movement, a need for execute, or don't like the other specs, it's good enough. Most likely will still lose to outlaw on cleave/aoe, and will be beat in raw single target by sub. That is fine. All 3 specs will remain viable. Please wait for simulations to be run in order to get a clearer picture.
I mean if all you care about is the number on the meter. Assassination has obvious benefits to outlaw mostly in that you get to pick when your big damage happens
getting the 2 dps specs a buff
what a joke
okay me go sim
Im not sure if im a big fan of this type of buffs though, seems like a weird way to balance
please refer people to that pin
Whispyr has spoken! Assassination is the best spec in the game!
make exsanguinate great again
make envenom refresh snd instead of flat numbers
make taco tuesday free!
make pizza tuesday free!* ftfy
Is exsang still shit after this aura buff @balmy condor ?
yes of course
the fact that assassin is about the get three aura buffs in one tier
i think they need to rebalance dmg sources for sin, put more dmg in bleeds, less dmg in white hits/poisons
shows that blizz fucked up

Quick someone ask Whispyr about Zoldyck legendary and what slot to put it in
Replace exsang with kingsbane make fok generate per targets hit
To showcase the impact of the 5% buff:

note: Subtlety is using akaari in the simulation while usually playing finality in raid, this could mean that the gap between subtlety and assassination is marginal smaller.
and still at the bottom o the dps 
pog fuu faster
Sin rogue any good in pvp now?
being 2% off in sims
@vestal wren thank you !
isn't really bad tbh
Umm, technically isn't it 1.05*1.05 *1.08 for a 19.7% increase? 
damn kinda glad i crafted that doomblade the other day
Can we put the channel in zoldyck mode please
sludgefist mythic just became a sin fight
If you don't have zoldyck you can't post
@fleet whale especially considering mechanics.
yea and if its 2% off that means you run it still cuz you dont lose that much dps during downtime
no, because the buff is an additive increase to the aura, nice try
Noone knows how blizz handles these %
Theyre inconsistent with their notes
So you just gotta wait
i think its pretty clearly bis for sire, clearly worse for SLG, and sub might still be better for sludge?
which means real chads will play 3 specs in 3 bosses 
im doing it so im deciding it is.
Playing assassination before any of the aura buffs is Chad
they just put 5% on their spec aura
Ye
its 44 now, a 5% buff put it at 51
I was here before the first 5%
This kind of buffs are so weird
like i said months ago , sin will get the bfa arms warrior treatment
honestly the fact that sin needs so many aura buffs
So i will play assa -> bench -> reroll ww is it?
saaame
shows that there is probably something fundamentally wrong with the spec
its "overall" a ~3,5% buff from the sim
yeah, a lack of borrowed power that it's relied on
An gg ty blizz
so its not "you do 5% more damage", pls keep this in mind
Im new to rogue, im looking forward to try assasination at some point
All damage abilties is such a trash buff
as we gear up the buff is more though
It looks really good
auto attack damage gets lower with gear
YES
So... I'm sure it's been talked about here, but how 'but dem 5% buff increase to assassination this upcoming Tuesday?
I like how everyone complains about white damage on sin, but then everything EXCEPT white damage gets buffed, and people say "trash buff"
also one thing to keep in mind is that the rogue profile is using akaaris but almost everyone in game uses finality that potentially closes the gap a bit more
there's 2 new pins, please consult them
Deadly poison is already several % over melee damage for me at 210
Consulting, sorry I don't check pins all the time :(
idk @tacit pebble with 4th pillar on sludge already encompassing even more of its sub 30% health pool so zoldyck really good there, plus cds and sin not suffering as much as other specs on downtime i personally think sludgefist is gonna be a sin fight now
assuming the diffrence between akaari/finality is ~1-1.5% you could come down to as close a 1% duffrence between #subtlety amd #assassination
the distance between dashing and zold is much closer than finality akaari
fair
obv idk for sure just my thoughts
but still
5% buff again
xd
Slowpoke News
was already doing alright during heroic raid as far as meters, nice little surprise here haha
you know they got a class wrong when they slap a % all the time
Is Sub's shot at 2x Shadow Blades for 2 pillars (1st and 3rd) on Sludgefist thanks to Stiletto Staccato not enough to compete against Zoldyck on that fight?
sin feels awful to play 😦
the 50% crit talent is proof
sub will be better on sludge still most likely
I get that Zoldyck last's for a decent chunk of HP but the burst during those 2 pillars is insane as Sub
it's a gain of like 200 dps on bis setups
it's not that insane
this just brings us in line
Rogue deserve a bit better i think
will it make assn better than sub in m+?
in line with what
already is tbh
Do you guys think assa>sub next week ?
I think outlaw will still be better atm for castle nathria
Sin will merc Sub on high fortified weeks for sure
please read pins
thanks
sin even before the buff was better than sub on cleave and aoe
True^
i really dont know who brought up the idea in the first place to play sub rogue in m+
like are u fucking living in 1500s
Black powder
what?
blade flurry > black powder
But was a big bait
Ofc
In main outlaw right now
Hoping to play assa maybe next tier
literally every buff they did was flat % and basically thats all theyve really done for pve balance this patch
So how do I play Assas?
!guide
Isn't Sin stupidly good now?
My boi
what are you talking about my dude
SO broken
wat
no
idk 13% compared to launch feels kinda giga
i wouldn't say it's shit anymore
it was needed
sin after this buff, is comparable to other rogue specs
Compared to other rogue specs is fine
But other specs are considered worsr
I think not
remember when this chat was dead? 
But all the memeguys in my realm think so
well that's what I mean, of course it's not comparable to any other melee basically
well, some exceptions to that
A bit better
i didn't expect Sin to be the new unholy DK
Still under ww uhdk and feral by a bit
I mean, it's comparable to the other 2 rogue specs, one of which being outlaw, and outlaw is pretty good, idk what you want
yeaa
that's literally what I mean ?
Its called Nemesis, but for me is Memesis
"i didn't expect Sin to be the new unholy DK"
no one has sin leggos
well that's what I mean, of course it's not comparable to any other melee basically
No one plays it
so don't expect to shoot up in log rankings
Stupid question was sin rogue already competitive in pvp?
it is comparable to other melee
yes sin was decent in pvp
guys
Another big news
Alright cool
im just copy pasting what he said
I remember comfy sin chat 
it'll be comfy again
lmfao u chilling as sin, seeing the discord burn
HEY GUUUUUYS IS SIN VIABLE NOW HELLO??????
i will remember
HI????
just need the negative IQ to leave
u wjere the first one
and it'll be fine
@ me
Well the good news is I have enough ash for rank 4 Zold next week. The bad news is I still don't have a lot of haste gear
So uh
damn im sad i didnt grab hc cn dagger instead of axe this week
Well, I know, but last time I simmed, sin was 500 dps lower. The gap might be small enough to justify switching now
Those haste and crit break points eh?
cant play sin yet
pls not now
Ok ill save for later
