at work atm so no

#

but can test later

Fair

pulsar sluice
#

yeah lethal poisons + well placed steel felt really nice for me in pvp

limpid quest
#

hi moving back to assasin from outlaw do I have to buy new legendary... if so can I ask what best is

stoic needle
#

Zoldyck

limpid quest
#

is shoulders best for this?

wary ice
limpid quest
#

k ty

#

and slots is it haste and?

stoic needle
#

It's legs

#

And haste vers or haste crit

limpid quest
#

k ty

limpid quest
#

Looks like when I upgrade first piece at lvl 190 is Zoldyck insignia best power to put on legs?.

ornate raptor
#

Yes overall the best lego for sin right now

warped heath
#

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

plain thistle
#

you just use it and you have 45s to consume the buff

#

just finish at the empowered combo point

hushed maple
#

and when it is on 3 for example?

#

do I mutilate and throw dagger?

plain thistle
#

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

There was a meme about the current stock market fiasco, Fuu just redirected river to off topic

#

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?

stoic needle
#

did you perhaps accidentially use echoing reprimand from stealth?

prisma yoke
#

oh

#

i did it intentionally

#

is that forbidden?

rigid wyvern
#

Quick google says it apparently procs Expose Weakness

#

which would be a bug so they would invalidate any logs with it I assume

prisma yoke
#

but Find Weakness is a Sub thingy... why should it block for assassination?

rigid wyvern
#

Exactly

#

It procs expose weakness while your playing assassination

prisma yoke
#

oh really? i guess i didnt see it, because i only display the sin debuffs

rigid wyvern
#

can probably check the logs to see if the boss had it or something

warped heath
#

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.

prisma yoke
rigid wyvern
#

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

spice spire
rigid wyvern
#

Easier to blanket remove all logs with the proc than go one by one

spice spire
#

The few seconds won’t make or break ur parse like SS made it

warped heath
#

Ok, thanks

#

Also, for the record, this is my first raid as assassination this xpac, and my god I missed it

spice spire
#

Good luck, have fun! It’s still much worse than outlaw but you’ll do great

stoic needle
#

vers/crit or vers/haste for doomblade monkahmm

eternal portal
#

how much min. haste would you guys say that assa needs to work "good? min. 20%?

stoic needle
#

there is technically no number

#

but sin started "feeling" good after about 14% haste

spice spire
rigid wyvern
#

whos saying non-haste for sin dafuck

wary ice
#

I believe it was /s

#

Hes known to be a troll tho

spice spire
#

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.

rigid wyvern
#

Ah I am blind

#

Lol

alpine oasis
#

what is a good fight style on raid bots for a good mix of raiding/mythics like a all rounder?

#

only play assassination

spice spire
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

stoic needle
#

My dslice sims are really close to my single target sims now which is interesting

#

Like only 6-700 dps higher

balmy condor
#

that's like almost 15%

stoic needle
#

yeah but outlaw and sub have like 1000+ dps differences between dslice and single target

low girder
#

yeah it's like 1500 for outlaw for me

#

between the two

balmy condor
#

yeh happens

#

not really sure why

stoic needle
#

i don't think it's a problem, just interesting

balmy condor
#

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

low girder
#

how big are the pulls

#

'cause outlaw just destroys at 5 targets

balmy condor
#

its a mixture

low girder
#

yeah wasn't sure what the mix was

balmy condor
#

so it used to be 4-6 for short pull

#

like 15 sec

#

and then 1-3 for 30ish sec

#

alternating

low girder
#

hmm

balmy condor
#

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

low girder
#

interesting

#

yeah i'm not sure why the gulf is so large then other than i guess loltuning

balmy condor
#

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"

low girder
#

too many restealths not enough restealths

balmy condor
#

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

low girder
#

i think some people just aren't acquainted with how strong the TC work is for rogue

#

compared to like, uh

#

shaman

royal lantern
#

uhm, why does dungeon sim not take 14x marked resets into account????????????????????????

#

smh, lazy tcs

balmy condor
#

cause it actually ends up being a loss to try and snipe those marked resets that hard

#

iirc

royal lantern
#

it was a joke

#

do i need too put more ? there

balmy condor
#

me bad

royal lantern
#

still love you

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

but ye, marked is a bit weird

stoic needle
#

doomblade does not work with VW

#

sadge

royal lantern
#

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

balmy condor
#

dashing but with more damage and more energy

stoic needle
#

True, I didn't think about it that way

quiet juniper
#

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 ?

toxic tusk
#

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.

balmy condor
#

blindside is better on 1 target

quiet juniper
toxic tusk
#

Oh no worries, sorry buddy.

quiet juniper
#

And if the spells looks cool

toxic tusk
#

Ambush looks badass.

quiet juniper
#

I legit can't find anyone playing it, I'm I just out of luck ?

mortal scaffold
balmy condor
quiet juniper
#

Will do, thanks :)

toxic tusk
#

So is the damage output from average blindsides more than the 10 percent increase you think?

#

or, you know?*

balmy condor
#

I do know

stoic needle
#

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

fleet whale
#

make rupturing spike baseline for sin

#

so that we use ambush in opener

balmy condor
#

would also work with blindside then

#

rip

#

EP never played again

fleet whale
#

it only refreshes if it falls off

#

and you could just make it only work from stealth/subter

#

does haste affect sepsis tic?

open swift
#

are raid legendary power drops 100% drop rate ?

serene basin

yea i knew that, wasnt too sure about raids

What? Legos are all 100%

open swift
paper stratus
#

So that one specifically ?

open swift
#

I think dungeon legendaries arent 100%

#

everything else is

paper stratus
#

Because every legendary across multiple classes including that one I’ve gotten first time. Odd

open swift
#

i have 9 attempts on the ToP legendary

paper stratus
#

From m+ are u running normal dungeons

open swift
#

im doin m0

paper stratus
#

Odd ok I guess I stand corrected try a +2 I suppose

open swift
#

i prob should try a m+

is 180 ilvl good enough to clear floor 8 in torghast?

balmy condor
#

might be rough

rocky ruin
#

@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

balmy condor
#

not sure what the question is

#

you can put your covenant in a lot of different places

#

and have it be fine

rocky ruin
#

so its like dont care about the opener just use everything correct

balmy condor
#

usually for most specs, yeah

#

there's not much loss in doing one gcd slightly differently

rocky ruin
#

im always trying to shiv before sepsis

#

thats for me the only im trying

#

and snd refresh at 9 or less

balmy condor
#

shiv after sepsis ideally

#

garrote/rup/snd in pandemic all good

rocky ruin
#

i thought shiv boost the dmg from sepsis

#

could check what i can do better on huntsman

#

you

balmy condor
#

sepsis is 10 seconds, shiv is 9

rocky ruin
#

my subterfudge opener i so clunky i must say

#

does shiv backwards boost sepsis ?

#

i thought always before

balmy condor
#

shiv increases all nature damage during its duration

#

it does not snapshot

Whats everyone's haste at these days, starting to feel good again on 23% (763)

iron orchid
#

20~21 % with 28~27% crit (due to night elf passive)

ornate dawn
#

Thats some chunky crit, think im sitting 24%, belf 1%

iron orchid
#

I have a nice optimization i guess

#

almost no mast (19%) and around 11% vers

ornate dawn
#

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 FeelsStrongMan

Helm, neck, chest and one dagger with it feelsbadman

that ring that inerva drops gives a crapton of haste iirc

it's the same answer

honestly I played assa since legion

#

but... ;c

#

I palyed a bg yesterday felt so nice

is this a sign?

#

Septic Shock next upgrade depressedchamp

bright girder
#

how is sin in torghast?

spice spire
#

Sins great in torghast

bright girder
#

i've only done sub and outlaw, was wondering what interesting animas they get

spice spire
#

Interesting anima? In a rogue? Lmao. Wrong class. If you see red ink, it’s pretty good, otherwise. Boring but good

bright girder
#

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

sleek otter
#

shadowstep 400 percent

bright girder
#

i'll prolly just try it anyways 😛

#

oh snap, that's cool

sleek otter
#

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

bright girder
#

oh yeah that would be good for sin, i always skip that on outlaw

#

that's how i wish Exsanguinate talent would feel 😛

sleek otter
#

Yah felt op in WoD

#

this exp, not so much

bright girder
#

yeah that really sucked when it was nerfed :\

sleek otter
#

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

wary ice
#

Oh my god

#

I really hope thats a real dps gain

sleek otter
#

not overall, its like just that burst window

wary ice
#

lol

bright girder
#

trying to understand why it is helpful to not continue attacking

sleek otter
#

I dont have like good gear tho

bright girder
#

i mean i can try it, i'm curious now 😛

#

yeah me neither

sleek otter
#

I can only imagine how much it would do with decent gear

wary ice
#

MA legendary, not talent im assuming

sleek otter
#

Nope, talent

rich yew
#

Any recommendations on conduits for pvp assa?

sleek otter
#

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

wary ice
#

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

spice spire
#

I forgot about vein ripper. We have one cool torghast power

sleek otter
#

I just looked it up, top assassa rogue does 11k DPS in burst with time warp

bright girder
#

how does vein rippers work in pve though, doesn't vanish reset the mobs?

sleek otter
#

Not if u attack right away

#

Just vanish and use an ability

bright girder
#

ok good

sleek otter
#

If anyone wants to test the opener I was talking about in raid

#

Meh nvm

#

Not sure it its good yet

bright girder
#

yeah, i'll play around with it on monday

#

also deciding which leggo to make.. i have enough ash for one: zoldyck or dashing

royal lantern
#

zoldyck

bright girder
#

TY

sleek otter
#

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

lyric inlet
#

isnt that theoretically 4 seconds

sleek otter
#

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

lyric inlet
#

so youre using MA and just opening garrote and rupture and letting those and deadly just crit

sleek otter
#

Yea Im thinking of changing it to use nightstalker and using the master assassin legendary for 50 percent more dmg on the burst

lyric inlet
#

are you night fae? could also use sepsis and see if the mastery from niya or extra damage from korayn is worth

sleek otter
#

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

wary ice
#

probably afk to full energy mut->snd->mut->env

sleek otter
#

more dmg

#

I didnt use exsanguinate tho

#

I can def try it tho

wary ice
#

its probably worse in an actual fight

#

but to get a funny dummy #

sleek otter
#

so did about 12k did the exsanguinate

#

with the*

#

and thats before details reset

#

so could have done more

stoic needle
#

@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 Sinscheme

strange python
#

I’m sure that wouldn’t be a dps increase

stoic needle
#

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

strange python
#

Losing the melee and poison dmg

sleek otter
#

You only stay in stealth for about 4 seconds

stoic needle
#

100% crit on rupture and empowered garotte and deadly poison

#

And sepsis

#

With shiv

sleek otter
#

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

stoic needle
#

I think there's some potential

sleek otter
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

sleek otter
#

I really hope I stumbled upon something good for the class because it might def make it somewhat competitive

stoic needle
#

Sepsis hits like an absolute truck so I could see it possibly being worth to stay in stealth until the bonk

#

Especially with nightstalker

sleek otter
#

Yea I even ran the septic shock conduit

#

and it gave me good numbers

#

instant poisons sims 14 more dmg than septic shock

stoic needle
#

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%

sleek otter
#

Ill take a SC of the sepsis proc also

stoic needle
#

You should log this

sleek otter
stoic needle
#

God damn lmao

#

That's like bigger than an envenom crit

#

What if you came out of stealth with a MFD envenom monkahmm

#

With NS

sleek otter
#

I usually marked for death rupture on the opener

stoic needle
#

This is literally the PvP opener but in pve lmao

sleek otter
#

for the 50 percent dmg increase

#

thats envenom from stealth

stoic needle
#

I was thinking MFD envenom out of stealth after vanish

wary ice
#

garrote->mut->rupture->mut>vend->exsang->vanish-> wait 4s->env->mut->env->mut->snd

#

subt+MA leggo

stoic needle
#

I don't think exsang will be worth it here

#

Exsang just sucks

sleek otter
#

yea Im not running it

wary ice
#

for stupid dumb burst opening exsang will be better full stop

stoic needle
#

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

sleek otter
#

I would try and show it but details resets

stoic needle
#

Yeah you need to log this dude

#

Details isn't enough

sleek otter
#

how do I log it?

stoic needle
#

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

sleek otter
#

ok Im not the best geared person but sure thing, will do

stoic needle
#

If I can figure out how to program a wait into the APL in raidbots I'll sim the hell out of this haha

sleek otter
#

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

stoic needle
#

You should garotte too because that will get 50% more damage while you are in stealth

sleek otter
#

So my question, should I garrote first with rupture or should I garrote when I reopen?

stoic needle
#

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

sleek otter
#

even for a 50 percent increased rupture?

stoic needle
#

All you're gaining is the few seconds pre-vanish of 50% extra damage

sleek otter
#

That is so trueeeeeee

#

I didnt even think of that

#

so Ill try your opener

stoic needle
#

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

sleek otter
#

so many options, rupture is a large part of the dmg tho

stoic needle
#

Yeah

#

It's very complex lol

sleek otter
#

Ill just try everything, Ill try your opener first then just try it without rupture

#

until the snapshot

stoic needle
#

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

sleek otter
#

so where is the logs in my files again?

pliant apex
#

if i dont switch to shades, is it going to affect parses?

#

i seem low on meters

ebon tapir
#

Haste/Vers best stats atm for Single Target correct?

stoic needle
#

Yes

pliant apex
#

i stick to huntsman

stoic needle
#

You should switch

#

Refresh garotte and rupture on huntsman right as the shades spawn and then hard swap

frozen jasper
stoic needle
#

Dunno mate, need papa whispyr in here to teach me how to sim this

#

Before I can say for sure

sleek otter
#

those are some logs on a dummy

pliant apex
#

or you mean more like helping the guild ?

stoic needle
#

The shades are counted in your parse. So to do maximum damage you want to dot them up as well as the boss

pliant apex
#

ahh i thought they werent counted?

stoic needle
#

They are but the damage is normalized iirc

#

Like the +100% damage modifier is removed but they still count

worn path
#

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

sleek otter
#

Ill parse another one using a different opener

#

this was without using rupture right away

pliant apex
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

worn path
wary ice
#

half your vendetta is at 5k dps

sleek otter
#

Yea I could wait 5 seconds instead

#

lemme try that

wary ice
#

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

sleek otter
#

thats an updated report

#

waited 5 seconds

wary ice
#

no rupture?

sleek otter
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

wary ice
#

I expect it to be worse tbh

#

The only real change is taking NS and idling in your burst window for it and MA

sleek otter
#

Want me to just wail out on a dummy for 5 mins?

wary ice
#

🤷‍♂️ i think getting an apl with it in mind is probably how you'd check it

elder garden
#

Anyone tried out Sin in pvp? Trying to pick it up for rbgs since outlaw isn't fantastic in pvp.

stoic needle
#

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

elder garden
#

I'm using Mark for leggo, but I am in the build up for soul ash for another if a different one is better.

stoic needle
#

I don't think there is. I've been trying doomblade and I'm not convinced it's better than mark

elder garden
#

Shiv into vanish with 5 cp, crit on envenom feels so strong.

stoic needle
#

It's very satisfying, and doomblade makes that better

#

The bleed on it doesn't do a ton of damage though sadly

fleet whale
#

the bleed is basically like a 2-3% buff on mut

#

which already doesn't do that much damage

stoic needle
#

I want to experiment with maim/mangle but I have to wait for the stupid conduit points to recharge

fleet whale
#

how many times do you swap a day? lol

elder garden
#

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.

stoic needle
#

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 monkaS

fleet whale
#

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"

stoic needle
#

Well it worked

fleet whale
#

it just sucks as a rogue as any spec you have all this setup in arena

elder garden
#

I'd kill for a conquest/badge reward for pve content.

fleet whale
#

while meanwhile an arms warrior is just like "zug zug" and presses bladestorm

elder garden
#

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.

stoic needle
#

Rogue is in a really weird spot rn

#

You put in all of this work for not much reward

#

Across all types of content

fleet whale
#

assassination is godly in torghast though

#

i just destroyed layer six of TC

elder garden
#

I'm just glad I've got tank and healer friends that I can always group with when I play outlaw

bright hemlock
#

De other side Hakkar, when do i use distract on small ones to make him not eat them at start?

pliant apex
#

you cloak right before consume cast ends right? or when it starts? on hungering

stoic needle
#

A few seconds after the start I believe

#

Like after the first tick

tawdry pawn
#

waaait

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

tawdry pawn
#

so mastery is shit now for us ;o

#

thats cool I can play assa and outlaw _

loud niche
#

is the 12%haste from dreamweaver not better than the mastery gain from niya with the Niya's Tools: Burrs

fleet whale
#

they are both strong

#

i don't think it will be a major difference either way

tawdry pawn
#

even better 😮 can use korayn for outlaw dreamweaver for assa and niya for sub

pliant apex
#

nail the rotation but almost a perfect play only getting me blue logs, will that change with gear?

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

pepehands say it aint so

sleek otter
#

Whispy do you mind helping with a log?

native turtle
balmy condor
#

sure I guess

#

but sitting in stealth with MA

#

is like

#

actually trolling

sleek otter
#

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

balmy condor
#

if I sim it

#

will you leave me alone about it

sleek otter
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

fine

native turtle
pliant apex
#

shouldnt MA opener be mut-slice-mut-gar-rup

sleek otter
#

Im being an idiot and trying new stuff

balmy condor
#

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

pliant apex
#

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

balmy condor
#

there's a 20 second cd on using on use

spice spire
#

There’s a reason I swapped out my second on use trinket when I got the heroic inerva trinket peepostudy

stoic needle
#

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

spice spire
#

Ten DPS loss by using hateful chain instead of dreadfire vessel

stoic needle
#

i'd do anything for a phial though ;-;

spice spire
#

I’ll take that L. Same.

sleek otter
#

Ok I understand

#

thanks tho

balmy condor
#

this question comes up like every other week

torpid spoke
#

is there a best legendary per boss in CN?

balmy condor
#

always zoldyck

#

MA has a place on sludge, but it's a toss up on that as well

torpid spoke
#

zoldyck is best in which slot?

balmy condor
#

legs usually

torpid spoke
#

perfect

#

thanks

balmy condor
#

np

#

torpid spoke
#

is best weapon enchants sharp + shadowcore?

balmy condor

how would u rate assasination spec after the buff ? Against the two other specs ?

IS ITIT OGODOOGODODOODD?????

tired falcon

Serious question though

frail fossil
#

they need another 25% dmg buff

#

imo

tired falcon
#

What’s was wrong with sin?

stoic needle
#

Well it was already on par with sub after the 8% so

raw tusk
#

how much time you got

stoic needle
#

GG sub players

vital haven
#

dude

tacit pebble
#

tbh this might be an overbuff, i think it might be bis for sire atleast now. still kinda dogass for SLG

manic stratus
#

😄

tired falcon
#

Something wrong with certiain core spells or dmg is just bad?

raw tusk
#

yeah rip sub lol i main outlaw so i can kinda switch freely if id like

vital haven
#

sin has been blanket buffed 18%

burnt dome
#

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

raw tusk
#

well this is only abilities

#

not white hits and stuff

strange python
#

Are you holding to sub Nairda?

stoic needle
#

Which is what we want

vital haven
#

nah im an outlaw boi

#

once we reclear after denathrius clear

stoic needle
#

Fuck white hits being top dmg in a dot spec

manic stratus
#

The warr buff tho

balmy condor
#

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.

mint peak
#

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

manic stratus
#

getting the 2 dps specs a buff

manic stratus
#

what a joke

balmy condor
#

okay me go sim

burnt dome
#

Im not sure if im a big fan of this type of buffs though, seems like a weird way to balance

balmy condor
#

please refer people to that pin

native turtle
#

Whispyr has spoken! Assassination is the best spec in the game!

frail jungle
#

make exsanguinate great again

make envenom refresh snd instead of flat numbers

make taco tuesday free!

burnt dome

make pizza tuesday free!* ftfy

#

Is exsang still shit after this aura buff @balmy condor ?

balmy condor
#

yes of course

fleet whale
#

the fact that assassin is about the get three aura buffs in one tier

tacit pebble
#

i think they need to rebalance dmg sources for sin, put more dmg in bleeds, less dmg in white hits/poisons

fleet whale
#

shows that blizz fucked up

stoic needle

#

Quick someone ask Whispyr about Zoldyck legendary and what slot to put it in

#

If you don't have zoldyck you can't post

shrewd helm
#

@fleet whale especially considering mechanics.

hard epoch
#

yea and if its 2% off that means you run it still cuz you dont lose that much dps during downtime

balmy condor
warm parcel
#

Noone knows how blizz handles these %

#

Theyre inconsistent with their notes

#

So you just gotta wait

tacit pebble
#

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 EZ

native turtle
#

is that "chat"?

#

chad*

tacit pebble
#

im doing it so im deciding it is.

native turtle
#

Playing assassination before any of the aura buffs is Chad

agile geode
#

Still bottom

#

So sad

vestal wren
#

they just put 5% on their spec aura

agile geode
#

Ye

vestal wren
#

its 44 now, a 5% buff put it at 51

stoic needle
#

I was here before the first 5%

agile geode
#

This kind of buffs are so weird

old thistle
#

like i said months ago , sin will get the bfa arms warrior treatment

fleet whale
#

honestly the fact that sin needs so many aura buffs

sullen fossil
#

So i will play assa -> bench -> reroll ww is it?

drifting imp
fleet whale
#

shows that there is probably something fundamentally wrong with the spec

agile geode
#

Never

#

If i had to reroll to play

#

I prefer unistall

vestal wren
#

its "overall" a ~3,5% buff from the sim

balmy condor
agile geode
#

An gg ty blizz

vestal wren
#

so its not "you do 5% more damage", pls keep this in mind

manic stratus
#

Im new to rogue, im looking forward to try assasination at some point

solar hare
#

All damage abilties is such a trash buff

fleet whale
#

as we gear up the buff is more though

agile geode
solar hare
#

It looks really good

fleet whale
#

auto attack damage gets lower with gear

solar hare
#

But its a lot less

#

Fair

brisk flicker
#

So... I'm sure it's been talked about here, but how 'but dem 5% buff increase to assassination this upcoming Tuesday?

balmy condor
#

I like how everyone complains about white damage on sin, but then everything EXCEPT white damage gets buffed, and people say "trash buff"

fleet whale
#

auto attack isn't even close to my top source of damage now

#

and i'm only 206 ilvl

vestal wren
#

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

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Deadly poison is already several % over melee damage for me at 210

warm parcel
#

Same with assa fuu

#

Everyones rocking bracers

#

envenom is catching up too

#

sometimes higher

#

Consulting, sorry I don't check pins all the time :(

vital haven
#

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

vestal wren
#

assuming the diffrence between akaari/finality is ~1-1.5% you could come down to as close a 1% duffrence between #subtlety amd #assassination

balmy condor

#

fair

you know they got a class wrong when they slap a % all the time

#

where are the talent changes

#

sin talent tree is so bad

eternal wave
#

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?

candid jasper
#

sin feels awful to play 😦

old thistle
#

the 50% crit talent is proof

balmy condor
eternal wave
#

I get that Zoldyck last's for a decent chunk of HP but the burst during those 2 pillars is insane as Sub

fleet whale
#

sin is going to be even more godly for torghast though

#

after this buff

balmy condor
#

it's a gain of like 200 dps on bis setups

#

it's not that insane

#

this just brings us in line

agile geode
#

Rogue deserve a bit better i think

will it make assn better than sub in m+?

balmy condor

13% of 0 is still 0 :)))

#

Nah but Assa was a great spec for HPS at launch lol

balmy condor
#

sin after this buff, is comparable to other rogue specs

agile geode
#

Compared to other rogue specs is fine

balmy condor
#

that's literally the TLDR

#

it's comparable

#

all 3 specs are now good

agile geode
#

But other specs are considered worsr

fleet whale
#

the problem is rogues themselves

#

aren't exactly amazing

agile geode
#

I think not

hollow escarp
#

remember when this chat was dead? Sadge

agile geode
#

But all the memeguys in my realm think so

scarlet galleon
#

well that's what I mean, of course it's not comparable to any other melee basically

#

well, some exceptions to that

agile geode
#

A bit better

scarlet galleon
#

i didn't expect Sin to be the new unholy DK

agile geode
#

Still under ww uhdk and feral by a bit

balmy condor
scarlet galleon
#

yeaa

scarlet galleon
agile geode
#

I know that outlaw is good

#

But the others do not

#

In my realm i mean

balmy condor

you just said it's not comparable to any other melee

#

and it very much is

agile geode
#

Its called Nemesis, but for me is Memesis

scarlet galleon

"i didn't expect Sin to be the new unholy DK"

what other better time than this to get assa buff?
