Absolutely, no judging here
unless you're a furry, then there will be judging


I was hoping dashing would be the shit đŚ I enjoy having energy as assassination ;c
Is there a way to have some sort of macro or something for having mutilate/ambush on one button (kind of like how you can shadowstrike while shadow dance is up by putting it on the same button on the stealth bar)?
You can use an addon for it, but it's highly not recommended.
As you do not want to use ambush when opening from stealth or when getting a sepsis proc
Only from free Blindside-procs
!ambush
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

Ah damn, I got like no buttons left haha
Also I am looking at logs and it looks like no one is using shiv, why is that?
logs doesnt show shiv usage iirc
The combat log is just messed up on Blizzard's end and that's why it doesn't show up on casts.
Oh darn, I was tryna see when ppl used shiv w/ sepsis
You can still see the shiv-cast if you look at damage done
I assume its right before?
You always use sepsis first then shiv right after
anyone any good experience with necrolord? was maybe thinking of going it after patch
Ah ok ty
isn't the optimal use sepsis and shiv ~4s before sepsis ends
so you get the enhancement for the burst at the end
Wut
No, you use shiv right after using Sepsis
Sepsis lasts for 10s, Shiv for 9
You use vanish to proc Master Assa when Sepsis has 4/3s left
Depending on whether you use the talent or the legendary
Wait so vanishing during sepsis will cause the remaining ticks to crit?
Yes but more importantly it causes the sepsis explosion to crit
Ok that makes sense, so I assume a good opener is like mutilate-snd-mutilate-garrote-rupture-then all cd's with sepsis-shiv-...vanish when 3 sec left of sepsis?

Yes
Alright, and why exactly is opening with ambush bad? Its the same energy cost and it does more damage
The tooltip is wrong; mutilate actually does more damage and gives more CP on average
Hmm, I was testing it on a dummy and ambush was always doing about twice the damage
Completely untrue
Itâs Just cp
The damage is double
"While these are weekly quests, they are no longer tied specifically to the weekly reset, but rather have an internal timer of their own. Thus, raiding on the day before reset and switching your covenant in time for a Mythic+ the next day by gaming the weekly reset is no longer an option."

But more cp, more poison hits
And if youâre using blindside, a chance for a free ambush
Add it all up, and itâs better
They both give two cp's no?
This for next patch?
hmm Im sure someone here said that since multilate hits twice the tooltip was wrong and it did more damage; no matter
apparently already in effect
Thinking things through - I know the standard was to vendetta after our first rupture but since we will rupture after Flag does it make sense to vendetta before flag to get the increase on the initial lashes?
Hope I'll be fine for reset
The tooltip is wrong, but it doesnât do anywhere near the same damage
Yes
Thanks
I hope they put the covenant conduit in the raid as one of the potencys
Itâs on sire
Is it dope
All the potencies are in the raid
are you sure about that? they aren't on ptr
at least not in the adventure guide
None of them are in the journal yet afaik
the only ones i see are planned execution, count the odds and maim, mangle
and the covenant ones on sire
so basically one per spec
Well luckily my lock got upgraded bis conduit from PvP
Idk why they didn't just have every conduit from conq vendor
Maim mangle is a trash conduit and cto/pe are both bis
Only some classes getting bis is wack
maybe they're placeholders for something like "conduit tokens" or some shit
Doubt
yeah, me too, but mans gotta hope đ
I can see them wanting us to dump our stygia
just hope M+ drops higher than 200 tbh
I mean luckily conduit ranks aren't like insane differences in dmg
tooltip for conduits from m+ dont have the "upgraded 1/12" thing other items have, so i doubt that as well
I'm hoping ksm upgrades are account wide
they apparently are
accurate tooltips and blizzard. these things do not go together
just wait and see which version of 9.0.5 goes live with reset. 
@lean coral ksm is account wide so it makes sense that it would also apply to valor
I didn't get the achievement again when I did it on a second character
At this point I think you should go Doomblade. And work toward Zoldyck so you have it ready for next prog
Sire for covenant ;|
cuz like i can one shot a r4 legendary atm
Sire mythic is le pain
and i might have some fun on the hc run
Been doing some sims for valor pieces etc
Is IQD a simtrap or does it actually have value
you will have to unlock ksm on your alt too if you want to upgrade your gear
i asked on ptr and ksm won't unlock the upgrading account wide
Blizzard 
when you say you asked on ptr, what do you mean
because the wowhead article still states the gear upgrade unlocks are account wide
i asked in the chat and multiple people said apparently that the notes say it's only on the character you've unlocked it with
Should be easy to test no? transfer over a character that has the achievement and a character that doesnt
see if its unlocked
It wouldn't surprise me if it was set up like that
it's blizzard after all
Exactly XD
by now we still don't have account wide honor
can't mail honor
so why would ksm valor upgrades be different
At the very least, 213 phial ez
Sure, intuitively
But PvP rating on main doesnt unlock anything on alt
So by that logic, neither should KSM gearing
i don't anyone should be making sure statements either way if they don't actually know
anyone knows if the valor npc is in the ptr?
Forums are full of literal dipshits that shouldn't be giving advice on anything
I mean blizzard confirmed that KSM is account wide
And its pve, not pvp
Why should it work as pvp ?
And sinxe when does blizzars apply logic ?
It's the expectation of having hoops to jump through. They punish you for playing a different spec for christ's sake.
The idea of actually benefitting our alts by having ksm seems too easy, even I'm still kinda expecting a catch.
the "apply logic" argument works both ways
i don't think it will either, but i'm not going to tell people it won't until i see proof
Theres no way alts can get 220 ilvl by doing daily heroic dungeons
i mean you need the item from a key first
I'm going to live in plaguefall for a little bit
stop arguing based on blizzard logic as we know its random
saaaaame
Probably spires next week tho. Fuck plaguefall on tyrannical
Ok i copied over my rogue to ptr taht doesnt have KSM, KSM was not in my Feats of Strength.
Just now ive copied over my lock that does have KSM.
going back to my rogue i see ksm appear in his FoS
But can you upgrade
you can upgrade m0 items too btw but there's no one online to do dungeons to test it out
Can you point me to where the npc is KEKW
ngl, kinda weird, not making honor acc wide to allow alts to have ez access to 197 gear, but ksm so they access to 220 gear
npc is apparently the pvp vendor
no :c
the covenant armor upgrader can upgrade valor gear
The weirdest one is hoe they don't let you freeswap covenants on the ptr.
Like the most important thing and you make testing a PITA.
*on live
Well, yes but it's indefensible on ptr. >.>
Just make covenant abilities/soulbinds a torghast thing
ye, imagine giving you the tools and possibility to test the stuff on the ptr correctly
and make covenants purely story/looks
can't have that, gotta GRIND
kinda cba doing into a m0 to get items. mostly since my rogue is ilvl 180 and cant solo xD
Big if true
Ion's bosses said its true, neat.
some would say.
massive if accurate

Is there any reason the explanation of the actual system couldn't include this info
small indy company
can you link to the actual interview? @slender urchin
!STATS
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
That's saxist
hey, with crimson tempest specced and using it on ST i feel like there is not much time to spend my CP for envenom bc u have to re-aply rupture and SnD very often. is it just me or am I doing sth wrong?
think you use poison bomb for ST
pretty sure u dont press ct then
yeah PB for st (see pins), but if you're talking during m+ (a ST boss while you're m+ specced), i'd say play around with it. maybe sim yourself and check the event log to see what priority it gives CT
You wait till Tuesday so you donât cast slice and dice
also that
@slender trail can u sim your rotation ?
@naive rock really? Is SnD not worth using at all or just AoE?
you can sim, then look at the html output, and down in one of the sections is the simmed rotation based on the apl
can't remember if it's just the first X amount of time or the whole thing though
could just be the opener sequence
wow awesome thx
What would the opener look like with flagg
Mut snd mut vend flag rupture?
probably mut snd mut garrote vend flag rupture
@vital depot no idea but it only has to be cast once and envn will keep it running.
but i haven't played with deeper yet so dunno for sure
Anyone know how long slice and dice will go up too in time? I play outlaw and get to three minutes sometimes
Would that be the same for sin?
I guess that assumes close to perfect melee uptime, but thanks, totally forgot about that change
I don't see why not if you can generate the cp.
Better than I can get in outlaw sometimes. Depends on pull sizes
was a mists
that first boss as sin must be juicy
less juicy then
i normally outlaw for keys but gonna think about full timing sin on tyrannicals
On tyrannical, mobs die a bit too fast for sin
i run with a boomie/mage
Not sure if it makes up for the boss dmg
aoe won't be a problem - bosses can be a pain sometimes if cds don't line up
but we don't really push on tyrannical so probably doesn't matter
Was that on retail or ptr?
btw is ptr down? havent been able to get on server since friday 6h pm
Dont think it has been down that long no
dont they shut it down before it goes live?
It goes to max pandemic im pretty sure
~50 seconds
does crimson tempest apply alacrity now? has it been fixed?
Yes
for mythic sludge. when would u use your cd? start- 2-4th pillar. or 1-3-end
Iâm assuming youâre not in a guild that can 3 pillar
So you would pull-2-4 and lust on 4
Whatâs the fastest way to complete the return-to-covenant quests? Dungeons? Or WQ?
is there a guild that does 3 pillar in mythic?
no
Oh mythic
Well if you can fit that vendetta in on execute, then would be better to do that
right on time with assa switch
just check top logs and see when they burn their cds
I wouldnât play zold on sludge
wich one would u suggest?
Either MA or doomblade
so if its 2-4 for you, you should be able to use cd´s on start too
If you do go ma, and end up with ep over blindside, it probably is better to just pull-2-4, if you guys lust 4
Kinda should play around the lust pillar
ya, we lusting on 4th to align with everyone
Do u run MA or Zold for keys?
Can do both
and then zoldyc for sir
Zold, ma is fine tho
thx for the input!
I did a 15 today with zold, was fine. I did struggle to keep gar, rup and crimson on like 4+ targets :S should i be skipping any?
No
You should rupture everything that lives long enough
Just keep practicing, it gets easier over time
Lack of energy made me wait and something would drop
You should have infinite energy in aoe
Heh
The cp stuff is fairly normal yeh
Running MFD helps with that
Mmm. Just gotta practice more. First time playing with crimson. Was fun though
This is kinda a general question, but does pertain to assa. What other classes/specs can do big ST dmg in their m+ builds? After seeing that DB and Zold sim a bit similar on dungeon slice I might consider running DB just to focus on prides n bosses
Boomy, fire, mm
Aaa my other two dps regulars that is đ
I wouldn't recommend that except on theater of pain
big if true
Nvm then lol
assa in aoe is just keeping garotte, crimson and rupt up, right?
Convoke isnât really an aoe ability
Combust isnât really aoe either
Like it works
But especially in the case of convoke
how many days is this fuckin rejoin covenant shit
Thereâs a lot more value to be had on 1 target over 10
Combust isn't but flame patch and ignite are
SHIT SYSTEM
i doubt its 2 weeks
2 weeks but
You doubt reality?
You can do it Monday and finish tuesday
Thatâs a bold claim
It's two reset lockouts, more accurately
anyone else having an impossible time getting phial of putrification from plaguefall?
You have to understand what a dungeon Slice sim is to understand why doomblade sims well. A significant portion of dslice is single target, which is why doomblade sims similarly to zoldyck because it does really well on single target. If you're consistently pulling more than 4 mobs you are losing a lot of damage by using doomblade which really isn't reflected in dslice. Compare a dslice sim to 8 target sustained aoe and you'll see the difference. However there are some dungeons where you pull small or the bosses are the major obstacle (like top) in which doomblade can be good
Just give up bro
Don't do it now
lol đ
why?
Cause upgrade vendor is coming
Valour won't upgrade stuff you get before tuesday
And you canât upgrade old gear
Downside is of course
Plaguefall on tyran week is horrific
But +0 gear upgrades soooo
lol
Is Phial better than raid trinkets?
Yes
wtb phial
phial is big d
btw the vault is random loot from all dungs right? like if i dont do the dung that week i can still get the loot on the vault
Phil is basically the best.
Phialâs only contender at 226 is a 233 denathrius
truly pity the ppl that dont have a 226 phial
Fully random
Vault is random. Specific dungeon does not matter at all
@outer estuary lol f u
yeah
It's going to take several extra weeks to upgrade a m0 Phial compared to a m15 Phial
Who @vast patio?
What's the cost per upgrade?
I'm not outing them, but those drops would be better on me is all I'm sayin'
.>
Nah like who asked?
im curious if assassin venthyr doomblade will be better for tyranical plaguefall vs outlaw, thoughts?
Fucker D:
Probably not
time will tell
There are a lot of big pulls in plaguefall
i feel ya @vast patio im with 213 /200 Dagger and out dps Some of our better Eq Raidmembers
Are there? Most are in the 3-5 range if you are using plagueborers properly
And then those big pulls handle themselves
Margrave gives me anxiety. At any moment the healer and all brezes will derp out and die.
There is a sim comparison for 9.0.5 of all class dps?
Only big pulls I think about in plaguefall are blobs at the start, then like middle platform on the river, and trash at the end boss
A lot of people shroud skipping that middle pick now too
No, but there will be on Tuesday most likely
Thank you
what are these shortcuts for ?
Wouldnât surprise me if some classes arenât fully updated with 9.05 stuff
Planned execution, count the odds, the bis conduits for sub/outlaw
oh ty i wass searching for sin conduits couldnt find any named like that xD
hey all, do you think assassination will be the best ST spec? and should I go venthyr if I am an outlaw main (mythic + is my focus) I also raid and want to b up there with my guild when I mythic raid with them
i'm also hearing Necro is the way to go for mythic +
Anyone know offhand how much of a difference the dot tick from SBS will be with mastery affecting it now?
If m+ with outlaw is your focus, go necro, if your team needs a venthyr, go venthyr, if you donât need either, feel free to stay fae out of laziness, kyrian sucks fuck kyrian
20% mastery = 20% more damage from the dot
My group was doing some spicy double pulls in pf last night but I could see doomblade being good there for sure
The double pulls were all borer pulls tho right
Ok wait so has anyone tried soloing dr. Ickus in m0 yet 
What?
would assume so.
or misspulls
Soloing dr ickus in m0 to try to get a Phial
XD
Why would you do that
You could just... get a group and do a 2?
Thanks for the response Lol, I want to go Venthyr assassination for mythic raid
Or a 3?
just get it from box 4head
Or a 4?
or farm 10s
Why would you force yourself into a m0 where youâre just stuck with a lockout
I think he meant it half jokingly
Hi guys quick question, I've currently got a assassination rogue at lvl 57, with the new changes coming on Wednesday, is Night Fae still the best covenant or is it another covenant now?
hey boys đ what is best legend for assa? đ
Because you could probably do it pretty fast, and there's a chance you just get it
It's not like you just try the one m0 and then quit for the week
or make friends with a DH that has a 226 pox so you can trade them phial and they trade you pox.
But it seems like an option
Doesnt it cost a lot more valor points to upgrade it from m0 tho?
The chance is practically just as high as a normal key
It does
Is it a fixed cost per upgrade or does it scale like honor?
Fixed
And how big are the leaps
Pins
this is per upgrade
What are the ilvl leaps?
3-4 ilvl per up
Oof.
so doomblade is best ST
Yes
Are people doing weird shenanigans with doomblade in the API?
Jesus that's a lot of extra
like tab-mutilating or smth
No
I donât understand the question
I mean you should tab mutilate on 3 targets
is the rotation stuff on wowhead accurate with the changes you aware?
Probably not
And hectic add cleave
doomblade claps the target you are on
Pretty much no reason not to.
nothing more nothing less
But yes the st of doomblade is good enough that it makes it competitive in a dslice sim because a lot of dslice is st
Bout half
and firemages and boomkins exist in the world
Alright thanks
need bot on this channel to react and autoreply on words BEST / WHICH/ SPEC / COVENANT/ LEGENDARY and question sign - ?
Fire mages are being buffed, too. Lul
Thatâs me
lewl
why? @balmy condor lives here to answer all degen questions despite there being pins.
need response while he resting!
I make the pins, they donât read it, I answer the questions, but they repeat it, I am a husk
nah just keep pinging him. eventually he gets up. @balmy condor @balmy condor @balmy condor
Almost a haiku, by whispyr
itâs like Fuu in sub
Think about all of the mastery build theorycrafting that whispyr could be doing if he wasn't answering the same questions over and over 
So... none?
Smh non-believer
I donât need to theorycraft to tell me that mastery is trash
That's a weird way to spell for chads
Remember when the the crucible was bugged and mastery was big pump with fan of knives
Osh, you realize that if the mastery meme catches on and we have a 34% crit situation on our hands, itâs YOUR ass, right?
wait what did i read that correcly , mastery is the best stat in 9.0.5? wow
There's no way it's gonna catch on because I say it's shit every time I talk about it
Iâm gonna make venthyr flagellation look like a McDonaldâs ball pit
So if people believe it it's not my fault
Fucking swear to god
Dangerous for unvaccinated children?

Innocent looking until the parties involved mysteriously disappear

Isnât mastery losing to vers just because snd is a thing and we melee 300 times/second?
I mean, kinda, yeh
The conversion from rating to percent on mastery is also kinda shit imo
But I donât do balance on that so what do I know
If the conversion rate was good, we wouldâve seen mastery be a good stat since bfa when they changed it to affect bleeds
Wow is it true mastery is best now?
But it hasnât been a good stat
Itâs been like 3rd, maybe 2nd on some gear sets for a brief period during nyâalotha
But you would toss on like 4 mastery gems and then mastery would be bad again
How does necro/venthyr comparison look on cleave?
Im assuming necro wins, but by how much
1 pin

Just a crumb of pin
Aight
Thanks for the sims guys. Yâall rock
SBS was critting for 5.5k for me on PTR 
Youâre welcome

Canât test flag cuz I was a vamp boy and blizz wonât let me switch 
Same :(
Itâs more than that 
I was a flag boy before it was cool
I have a question, I'm new to assassination but we don't use Ambush in the opener out of stealth with subterfuge? Mutilate is better?
Correct
Some of the people in my guild are so annoying
Yeah Iâm coming back home to sinfall
Is there ever a time to use Ambush or should I just take it off my bars? Lol
Venthyr in exile gang 
Blindside procs I believe
Blindside is our best single target talent in that row
Have u guys decided which covenant to switch to? I swapped the venthyr today. Renown 16 now hah
Bloodmallet and herodamage also use weird profiles most of the time and casting patchwerk and all sorts of weird shit
Literally havenât opened either one in like 9 months
Tru
rogue
broken
Pick one
what are the chances they nerf flag you guys think? lol
The current HeroDamage sims have also been updated 2 weeks ago, not for 9.0.5
Fairly low
Lets be honest, sin is looking really strong after buffs
So they are missing the envenom pandemic bug and any of the updates for 9.0.5
Looks like theyd rather buff other covenants than nerf
Atleast for rogues
They may end up nerfing it in pvp like they did to echoing reprimand, but thatâs the only nerf I can think of
ya that's good
Actually, apparently it's for 9.0.5 but that can't be right because they announced a lot of the bug fixes/changes a few days ago, not 2 weeks ago.
Oh well.
Yea conduit is a bit broken
yes they'll nerf it in pvp but buff arms warriors again lul
I guess we gotta get duelist before they nerf it 
https://i.imgur.com/WpGTTsN.png thanks callings
If cto hasn't been nerfed I doubt they will nerf lashing
Do conduits drop from normal callings or only epic ones
Both
To me it looks like only epic ones
Is Lash bis? Or do we use Lash and CTO
Ah so the chance is just a lot higher?
got it from normal one
Just the epic callings have a higher chance
Never use cto on sin
what is CTO
Count the odds, outlaw conduit
Is it actually good
lets roll the bones on sin!
5 seconds doesnt seem like a lot
I got 2 Lashing Scars, first one from an epic tribute, the second one from a normal one.
Cto is mad good for outlaw
Yea but im talking sin
So sad i cant swap until next week
Wish i could farm renown/conduit already
But we'll be getting the conduit from heroic Sire at 213 ilvl anyways, right boys? 
world boss drop it aswell do he?
Yeah, but the chance is quite low.
The drop chance is 100% if its the world boss attached to ur covenant
if i switch
Yes.
So if we get venthyr boss its 100%
Yâall are actually getting something besides 73g from the world boss? 
Ohh yeah I kinda brainfarted there. I mean WPS ofc
Anyone thinking to wait switching, but get to renown 40 before that? Just to get AV, title whatsoever.. It feels wierd to switch right before getting to 40 renown đ
Lashing scars (until it gets nerfed, then switch to WPS)
Switching resets weekly quests so go for it
You dont lose out on anything
so if we save stygia lil bit and get one from sire. soo then we can pray gods and get 226 right away from venari? thats the plan for u guys ye?XD
Yes
Nice, good to know and thanks @onyx wind
Otherwise its just 1700 more to get it 226
Thatâs a lot of stygia, considering youâd need every conduit at 213 to roll the 226
doubt they'll nerf lashing tho
Yea
i have every at 213 and couple of 226. and iam the lazy one.
Why would it get nerfed. CTO for Outlaw is like double as good as every other potency and isnt nerfed either. Even tho it simmed better WHILE being bugged
And yeah Infernal Cascade too
Well every other potency conduit for outlaw is pretty useless tbh plus blizzard hate us
Just become friends with your priests, bribe them pre raid 
Its just for progress :)):)
Yes. Yes I do
Noone cares abt the PI's only the %
Was fine when i played sub but
If other rogues are gonna get PI, it might get annoying :(
I'm sure you can do like 95 parses without pi đŽ
But thats a lot more with PI
Will sin be close to viable in m15+ now after reworks?
runing casually 15 in sin. and its fine
it allready is very viable
I've been running outlaw, but it's so meh for ST
idk sin feels like some 200iq multidot shit
while outlaw is ooga booga bladeflurry
multidot is lyfe
i love the play style
outlaw is all about bones
management
and it's so zzzzzzzzzzzz
rtb is the worst thing blizz ever did to rogues imo
to an extent
I can share mine if you want
sure
im thinking about going venthyr right now, anyone else make the plunge?
everyone would probably appreciate it oshosi đ

I made the switch last night
are you switching from fae?
I did. I miss soul shape though
Dont worry guys, next patch they will buff the other covenants so u have to swap back again
once you have the renown swapping is just waiting for next weekly reset
Yea if ur swapping back to one u had before
I think its fair to get punished for swapping off a bad covenant!
And then swapping back once it gets fixed!
Meaningful choice 
Slow down there satan
Dont worry guys, just get every covenant's renown to 40 before 9.1 hits
So u can swap to the next bis covenant then
And not be behind
đ
To be fair, at least it's not as bad as other classes that have dead covenants đ
I just switched venthyr, its probably required to finish the campaign for all the renown correct?
^Yea
Sepsis will be the next 
The catchup cap is (max - (campaign+weekly))
yes
Hey guys, how come crits with ambush are only 3 CP and mutilate is 4?
does Mut hit twice or something
and venth was the way to go right
not yet, will decide in the next 2 weeks
if I get bitten or not 

Was doing a raid yesterday, every single burrs got avoided by the boss because they got moved
So annoying

what did u go for
Venthyr

I don't even track burrs
it's just passive damage and totally out of my control
well, I still need to press buttons to proc it but other than that, what can you do?
Yeah same. I have no clue when it procs and honestly I have no clue what it even looks like lmao
I just look at my details and see it there.
Nothing, but it still annoys me a bit đ
Is sin good in pvp?
better than outlaw
worse than sub
I've seen somebody boosting 2s as sin rogue
can i switch venthyr on ptr for testing purposes?
yes, but you will need to farm renown if you wanna test soulbinds
it's not like beta or tournament realm
with doomblade leggo we should take PB or CT?
if you got CT you are probably doing M+ so zoldyck might be better
so PB for single target with doomblade
with MA you should skip all garrotes just to pump fans
and garrotes are pretty good
No you shouldn't
so 4 sec MA buff is almost unused on packs
or i'm dumb and do not know how to use it
Definitely, MA has a lot of value whenever you vanish on packs. It's also far superior than Zoldyck on bosses.
The opener is a bit FeelsBadMan with MA
k, so we use MA once per 2 min
No, you still get value out of it during the opener
on mini bosses and boss
And you literally get a lot more value out of it on bosses and whenever you have targets to focus down
Guys, I was in SOA after change to venthyr and for some reason In a specific pull i hit for 40k dps but I am not sure why, couldn`t check it in details
Anyone else having issue with picking up the "common ground" quest after swapping covenant to Venthyr? I'm renown 6, but NPC is invisible
Some have had similar issues. Doing a calling will make it work, but apparently some are not seeing any callings either.
When you do a calling tomorrow, it should work. Open a ticket if it doesn't.
You don't really play around it, you still apply 3 garrotes during subterfuge window.
It's really valuable for bosses, mini-bosses and prides.
Wouldnt doomblade just fill that niche better then?
If your group is missing ST damage, MA is the play. If you're looking to get a higher overall number, Zoldyck will probably do that better.
Currently no. Doomblade is bad.
Maybe on reset day.
MA provides a lot more burst though.
Idk
Considering sin is bad for m+ anyway, it wont really matter ig but
I have a really hard time seeing why MA would be better than any other legendary in any circumstances
Yes it is bad lol
It's not bad
No it's not
Its not useless but its bad
+3?
Yes, same
???
boomie does 9-10k overall
No they don't
Lol what
what
No they don't
Are you drunk
In high keys they do
Well
Idc about 15's
Every class can play 15's
Well why are you talking shit then
If you compare your shitty performance in a +15 to someone in a +25
Like what
You literally said that assa is bad in m+ which is not true.
Imagine thinking assa does more overall than boomkin and MM lmao, is your tank pulling 3 mobs at a time or?
Its obviously not a meta spec for a reason
Yes, assa is bad in m+
But everything is relative
Bad in the sense of not S tier for sure
Assa does more damage the longer mobs live
I meant bad compared to meta stuff
So the higher the key, the more damage it does.
I didnt mean bad compared to a random mage in your 15 keys
The more mobs the tanks pull (which they do on higher keys) the more damage you do
It's dumb to even make the comparison
You will never see a boomkin do 10k overall in a +15
Of course sin isn't as good as the brokenly overpowered classes
The sky is also blue
Then why are you comparing your 6.5k in a +15 to someone doing a high key
It's not a fair comparison in any way
You should compare them both on the same key level
What man...
It's a fact that sin is awful compared to stuff like Fire mages if the tank pulls 8 mobs at a time
But sin is literally not a bad spec in m+
Maybe theres the problem
I think what they are saying is, assassination isnât in the MDI meta, therefore they are bad.
They arent even played in high keys
But the mdi meta doesn't matter to 99% of people
You don't even play high keys yourself so why do you care 
Exactly. Idk why people put so much stock into the meta
Why do i need to play high keys to care
Everything can do higher than 15s
Assa is rarely played anywhere because Outlaw exists. People who care pushing extremely high keys just play Outlaw
also why are u making this about me
But the difference between Outlaw and Assa is not as big as you make it out to be
You are saying Assa is bad. Itâs not
Whats a bad spec to you in m+ oshosi
Yeah, make fair comparisons next time.
You can't compare a +15 key's dps to a +25 key
Im not doing that what
Because in +25 they are FORCED to pull very dense packs
You literally said earlier "boomie does 10k"
But it doesn't
In a +15
I never said boomies do 10k in a +15
No you didn't
But you said that Assa does 6.5k in a +15
How much does Assa do in a similar key where a Boomkin does 10k?
A bad spec for m+ to me is like.. feral or sub or shadow
How much do you think Assa does in a similar key to what your referencing the boomkin to doing?
How would i know
How would you know?
If you don't even know the numbers
"assa is bad"
How much damage does it do?
"idk"
What...
I mean that's what you're saying
Yeah, legit
Must be trolling đ
You started this shit by saying it's a bad spec without any proper comparisons or evidence.
Nah you didn't even qualify 'compared to meta classes' to begin with
You just said it was bad
What do you mean why
Sub isn't that bad for keys tho
Who cares?
We were talking about legendaries
Why state the obvious
Assa is a very good spec in M+ for keys at the 15-20 range. It drops off quite a bit after that because the tank is forced to pull a lot denser packs, which classes like Fire Mages get a lot of value out of, whereas Assa doesn't as much.
Flat out saying that "assa is bad" is just not true.
Last night I ran a key with an equally geared boomy. I was running doomblade. (bad I know). On most boss fight I pulled ahead. Overall I was 100 dps behind him. We are decent players. This was only a 14 key
It's not exactly competitive in MDI or +25's, but it's not a bad spec whatsoever.
assa is trash bro ignore these haters @onyx wind
I've been doing 16-20 keys this week and I've been #1 or #2 dps every single dungeon.
I guess I'm just playing with absolute trash players every day. Unlucky
THIS is a fact.
But that's not what you were saying in the beginning
Okay good, we gucci then
So whats the issue
I just hate this 'if you're not first you're last' mentality
i think no one would say otherwise
people still think rogues are meant to do DPS in dungeons? 
Okay chill boys, he just misspoke.
I made a sidehanded comment while discussing legendaries
We all agree that Assa is not as good as most meta specs.
And you strawman that into an argument that lasts 10 minutes longer after my clarification
Good job man
Ill be more careful choosing my words in the future!
Conditioner is better. It makes the hair silky and smooth.
true
I never misspoke
You made a pretty unclear statement when you said âsin is badâ
There's 3 comments about you flat out saying that it's bad in m+
I said it's not bad, you said "it is bad lol"
That's literally you misspeaking. You should have clarified from the start that it's not great compared to meta classes.
How about we all discuss stat weights and breakpoints instead
Since its not competitive with meta specs
The word "bad" is subjective
So why try to argue against my definition of it
I'm still working on my 34% haste so I can scale better. What are the breakpoints for crit, do you know?
Its not misspeaking
Y'all ain't ready for the 40% mastery giga evenom build
I think you want at least more than 0%, once you're past that you probably want all mastery
Tbh, you should stay NF for giga Envenoms
Missing out on Grove Invig is a bit of a hit on that.
Theotar though
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
Yeah, I guess Theotar's effect is similar. Does the shaded area land in melee range of the mob your targetting or is it just randomly around you?
Odds Venth gets nerfed though
!guies
and everyone goes back to ight fae
It's directly on top of you
!guides
Oh, that makes it better.
They are to close to each other to nerf. They didn't touch warrior vamps yet
The wording makes it seem like it just drops somewhere and you have to step in it.
That's not really guaranteed. Cto is better than lashing by at least 2x and hasn't been nerfed. Without lashing it's still .5% better than NF
If they nerf venth , they should nerf wild spirit and convoke
if im necrolord, would that still put me ahead in ST (switching from SUB)
im looking to craft my first sin leggo, is doomblade going to be the way to go if I roll venth?
Compared to sub, yes.
ok ty
For your first legendary, I would probably get Zoldyck or MA first. Doomblade is pretty much only good for ST.
But say you have MA already
I have MA
Then go Doomblade?
Hello, what stats should I put on doomblade?
Yeah, you can go Doomblade next then.
@stoic needle Cto?
Haste > Versa=Crit
Count the odds
Thx
Is it worth to sim or I just put haste + the one I like the most?
Not worth to sim as stat weights are dynamic
You can sim it, but you can just alter your gear around the legendary anyways. Like enchants/gems and whatnot
I did haste vers because of pvp
Doesn't really matter honestly.
I will play sin in raid, and outlaw in dungeon.
I will craft doom
Okay, thanks
I already have insane amount of vers from playing sub so
shoulders or hands? doesnt matter I guess?
Not sure what im gonna do
Depends on whether u think ur gonna kill stone legion generals on mythic
If not, then no it doesnt matter
Do you wait for vendetta to sepsis or do it on cooldown?
Yeah, delay Sepsis for Vendetta/Vanish
Thanks
Also use Shiv right after Sepsis.
ofc
did LFR and normal so far im at 14 renown
Did they fix SBS bug with exsang.
yes they did
Doomblade good for pvp? Or do most sin rogues run with MA?
doomblade's good for pvp, but a lot of people go MA for the burst from crit
.
@limber lion after reset. Do you cast flag on cooldown or hold for vendetta?
how do u sim for Inerva MM ? Patchwerk 6 or Hectic Cleave ?
@wild birch technically you only do this on the last sepsis of the fight iirc
You do it if you won't miss an extra cast
If you have anima in your bag (not yet deposited), can you use that immediately for a new covenant if you switch>
Yes
Is there a big diff between Double Sinful Revelation // Sinful+Guidance ? Like smthing more ST, the other for cleave idk
You shouldn't do double sinful period
aw didnt know ty
@outer estuary @silk wadi https://wago.io/0xB3yNIxB here's my plater profile!
dots on the left bro
they are on the left!
Nah they are the top left, not left, growing left 
how do yall use vendetta in m+
@stoic needle give me some red kool-aid
I guess that's just a me thing
push me to the correct path
on CD and on prides
prio targets, prides, bosses
mostly on CD
don't save it
so say use it during a pack of 5 mobs, do you tunnel the vendetta target or keep the spreading ruptures
If you ever save it, the thing you save it for has to be a target of primary importance
