Detection and the bag are some fun rogue only things you have to grab.

stoic needle
#

If the duration of the debuff was longer it would be awesome

#

But I wouldn't mind spending cp to make everyone do more damage

balmy condor
#

So then take it in m+

stoic needle
#

I would if iron wire wasn't better

#

And if it worked on bosses

balmy condor
#

But iron wire isn’t making that fire mage damage hoooog

thorny shore
#

how many targets to spam CT? 8?

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

More than 8 but only to get CT up on everything

#

It's not spamming in the traditional sense

thorny shore
#

I mean CT over envenom

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

You dont

civic trellis
#

I used to play sin at wotlk where you had to maximize the uptime of envenenom buff. Is that still a thing?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

It’s not as important though

civic trellis
#

What about pooling energy and cp for shiv?

stoic needle
quaint phoenix
#

Do we play the same game?

civic trellis
#

Idk if its that significant

balmy condor
royal lantern
vast patio
#

Fight fight fight fight fight

civic trellis
#

And envenenom buff only affects envenenom damage itself and poisons, right?

balmy condor
civic trellis
#

Oh envenenom is not nature damage?

balmy condor
#

It is

civic trellis
#

Uhm

balmy condor
#

But the envenom buff is poison application rate

thorn turtle
#

do u play theotar for m+?

balmy condor
#

It’s either theotar, or double potency nadjia

#

From what I’ve seen from sims

thorn turtle
#

what is the second potency for m+?

#

FoK one?

balmy condor
#

Either that or lethal

stoic needle
#

exacting prep nadjia though Hmm

civic trellis
strange python
#

"rogue dmg is gud"
me on my druid main: feelskek

civic trellis
#

Btw sbs conduit dot can crit, i guess its intended

subtle tundra
#

why is it spiteful? i gotta play outlaw now cringe 😦

royal lantern
#

rogue dmg is.....like just good

ionic kelp
#

rogue is a feral with an immunity + execute

royal lantern
#

its not great

#

its not bad

#

its just....good right now

#

nothing special

ionic kelp
#

its really good tho?

#

what are you comparing it to, and in what sense?

royal lantern
#

still no reason too take you over the classes that do more dmg AND have utility

vast patio
thorn turtle
#

do u prefer cloaked in shadows or slice conduit for m+?

royal lantern
thorn turtle
#

ah wait u get both

balmy condor
#

I haven’t used cloaked in shadows in my life

#

I can see it on like bursting weeks or something if you can get it off

thorn turtle
#

so it's nimble and recup i guess

vast patio
#

It's mostly for pvp

strange python
#

how you getting two endurance condis

limber lion
#

Cloaked is op af in PvP

stoic needle
#

cloaked is good for plaguefall

ionic kelp
#

cloak in keys is super helpful if you arent running some super meta ass comp

thorn turtle
#

theotar

stoic needle
#

because FUCK PLAGUEFALL

strange python
#

you not taking double potency?

balmy condor
#

Not usually, no

strange python
#

or double finesse

#

but why double endurance?

subtle tundra
#

because that was the path

outer cairn
#

For M+ whats a good balance of crit and haste? Stacking crit, but my haste is pretty low now and i can really feel it until bleeds are going compared to if i just leave it where I'm at with ST

strange python
#

oh im talking in sin channel not sub channel

#

im sorry my bad

stoic needle
strange python
#

kek

balmy condor
#

But honestly just wear your normal gear

#

Our stats barely change

onyx wind
#

we made it

#

(literally)

#

made it

strange python
#

e z

outer cairn
#

Yeah I noticed I get more CPs from FoK, but its taking longer to apply everything to start cause low haste so its like what's the point

strange python
#

wow 2.0 when

stoic needle
#

mine is still 210 i need to farm more valor

onyx wind
#

did a +3 nw

#

pulled entire dungeon

#

oneshot it with spears

vast patio
onyx wind
#

XD

balmy condor
stoic needle
outer cairn
#

yah

strange python
#

lmao

#

i would agree with you there Sai

#

How is assassination performing in m+

onyx wind
#

checked my bank

#

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

wtb buff to poisoned katar

strange python
#

Only slightly 🤔

limber lion
#

Who wants to do all maw dailies and weeklies for me for the next 2 weeks? Loved

slender berry
#

Wtb rework of poison bomb to make it an active ability

gusty mirage
#

I got you

#

It's the least I could do

onyx wind
#

if u need socket

gusty mirage
#

your advice got me a 97 parse on shriek :3

limber lion
#

Next week a 99 :'')

atomic hemlock
#

I still went necro bois over venthyr. Sbs is just too fun to use.

stoic needle
limber lion
onyx wind
#

ye 1k a day and then 2k from weeklies

#

ok then 8 days

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

My RL after raid last night goes "You're just an assa rogue aren't you" lul

limber lion
#

Is that assuming killing the best rares there is or just random stuff to fill the eye?

onyx wind
#

do 3x dailies and kill whatever rares

#

get the soulwell thing

gusty mirage
#

and the hunt in beastwarrens

limber lion
#

Aight not too bad

onyx wind
#

and hunt yea

gusty mirage
#

if you need rep, if you don't just stick to rares

limber lion
#

Already done hunt/wrath but yeah

#

Nah I'm maxed in rep, just need Styg

gusty mirage
#

yeah just stick to the rares, skip the ingot quest

limber lion
#

I was a dumby when I socketed all of my gear when I hit exalted

#

Because I thought I would never have to come back

gusty mirage
#

because they disappear after 1 person loots them now

limber lion
#

Too bad I socketed some really dumb stuff

#

Yeh, Blizzard is pretty out of the loop

#

Maw is already a place no one wants to go to

#

Then they do this shit lmao

gusty mirage
#

one of our locks got wrecked by 9.0.5 he bought a socket prior to 9.0.5 and couldn't socket his huntsman neck

#

KEK

onyx wind
#

i think this is my 9th socket

gusty mirage
#

so he's in blizzard ticket hell rn trying to get it figured out

stoic needle
#

i socketed my pvp gear and then stopped pvping facepalm

onyx wind
#

ingot quest is fixed btw

gusty mirage
#

oh it wasn't intended?

onyx wind
#

well it was

gusty mirage
#

I spent 15 minutes getting 3/12 and I was yeah fuck this I'm leaving

onyx wind
#

but their intentions are bad

stoic needle
#

idk i enjoyed the maw when it was harder

#

when you were undergeared

#

but now it's just tedious

limber lion
#

I even used the rest of my stygia on conduits like a monkebrain after getting all 6 sockets

onyx wind
#

i dont mind it that much

#

its not like u have to do it if u dont want to

gusty mirage
#

monkebrain? or BIG brain?

silent tinsel
#

The rank and file of the maw just don't do any damage

onyx wind
#

especially now that they added conduit drops from raid

stoic needle
#

sockets are like +20-30 dps tho...

onyx wind
#

yea they are but

gusty mirage
#

that FAT 226 maim mangle

onyx wind
#

i think most people dontc are abt sockets that much

stoic needle
#

true

limber lion
#

226 vs 200 lashing is like 12 dps

#

cba

ebon bramble
#

well rogue dead

#

went down in heroic rankings

viral aurora
#

Still No weapons in vault! Much Love to this game

ebon bramble
#

🤣

stoic needle
#

but for us degenerates

limber lion
stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

yarr I use a 220 off hand dagger

silent tinsel
#

I could farm some conq and get another 226 dagger and complete my set

limber lion
#

I had a choice of a 226 Azure-Venom Choker neck or a 226 weapon for my off hand.

viral aurora
#

What does "Good enough" even mean in a competitive mmorpg

limber lion
#

I chose the neck even though it's not an upgrade currently

gusty mirage
#

I'm pushing for 2.1k this weekend so I might be a real boy soon

forest swallow
#

You guys running MA legendary for keys?

limber lion
#

MFD+MA is pretty sick for keys tbh

#

I enjoy it quite a bit.

viral aurora
#

Only People with 233 weapons say stuff like "Good enough"
Hihi, bitter Fez at your service

forest swallow
#

Yea with crimson I bet it is fun

onyx wind
#

doing some banger dps with zoldyck

gusty mirage
#

I have a 226 MH, 220 is good enough tbh

onyx wind
#

7.2k in +16 halls

gusty mirage
#

it sucks but its not the end of the world

limber lion
#

Zoldyck is definitely higher overall

forest swallow
#

@onyx wind thats nasty

onyx wind
#

was even a slow run

#

or like no big pulls atleast

forest swallow
#

Wonder if tyrannical weeks doom blade would be good?

ionic kelp
#

halls is a p good dungeon for sin just cause of those souls or whatever

viral aurora
#

Exeo, how many garrote ruptures do you Keep Up before going envenom

spice spire
plucky pasture
#

!guide

gusty mirage
#

7.2k dps overall is nuts

#

I've barely seen fire mages touch that lol

stoic needle
#

doomblade is stonks on plaguefall

onyx wind
#

i beat my hunter friend

gusty mirage
#

@onyx wind SHARE YOUR SECRETS DAMNIT

onyx wind
#

first time ever

#

not really much to it

slender berry
#

Poor post "fix" hunters

gusty mirage
#

nope

stoic needle
#

doomblade can work in sd and halls and mists as well if you dedicate yourself to blowing up prio targets but you definitely take an aoe hit

gusty mirage
#

its their turn at the bottom of the barrel

#

we kept it warm for them

onyx wind
#

im using battery in garrote window

#

and vanishing for zoldyck

#

rest is just

#

usual stuff

#

garrote garrote garrote rupture mfd CT

grim hawk
#

what is battery? soa trinket?

onyx wind
#

yea

weak horizon
#

is anyone else getting fucky server lag on NA?

#

can't do shit right now

gusty mirage
#

blizz has a note about it on the bnet launcher

onyx wind
#

and then flag before rupture if u have it up

gusty mirage
#

apparently they're having some "authentication issues"

radiant fossil
#

Guys, what conduit do you play in m+ ? flag and katar ?

wary ice
onyx wind
onyx wind
#

if i dont need energy i usually just fok spam into ruptures

#

and keep full uptime on envenom buff

stoic needle
#

i play thotar with wasteland on fort and nadjia double potency or exacting on tyrannical

onyx wind
#

so like 5-6 bleeds and ur gucci with flag up

#

also feels fine desyncing flag/vendetta

#

so u vendetta big mobs or prides

#

and flag off cd

sick cairn
#

quick question

#

what do i cast if i have NF free stealh cast?

#

does it affect garrote?

#

if i have subterfuge?

stoic needle
#

no

#

it should but it doesn't

#

because blizzard hates fun

eternal wave
#

Wasn't Door of Shadows a 90s cd or am I actually an idiot?

hard pivot
#

I miss the free vanish from sepsis

#

Even if it was kinda awkward sometimes

stoic needle
eternal wave
#

Thaaaaaat's how it went

#

Ty!!

sick cairn
#

bruh blizzard should fix sepsis

stoic needle
#

ironically you should play your cooldowns as sin the same way outlaw does

#

if it's up, use it

#

vendetta doesnt matter in aoe

sick cairn
#

9.0.5 is when they fixed the sepsis for broadside

#

like dafuq took em long enough

gusty mirage
#

that would require them to actually have someone on staff that plays a rogue

#

to notice these things

hard pivot
#

Trueeee

stoic needle
sick cairn
#

trueee

strange python
#

what stats should i take on doomblade legendary?

gusty mirage
#

crit haste or haste/vers, sim it in top gear to make sure whats best for you (:

stoic needle
#

crit/haste or vers/haste

hard pivot
#

It’s okay I’m a vampy boi(girl) now so I’m happy poggers

strange python
#

and craft it on hands yes?

subtle tundra
#

Welcome to the vampire gang

short basin
#

Guys what would be an optimal opening for Assass single target with bonespike?

gusty mirage
#

hands or shoulders, if you have access to mythic SLG shoulders hands is a no brainer. if you don't it doesn't really matter in the end, go with the better ilvl upgrade

hard pivot
#

Only took 10 days to hit renown 40 after swapping

strange python
#

ok ty

necro > venthyr

#

cleave aoe single > single

stoic needle
limber lion
#

imagine wanting to voluntarily be at the bottom of dps meters on st

stoic needle
#

imagine picking the aoe covenant to still get beat by every real aoe class

ebon bramble
stoic needle
#

but we aren't shit in cleave Think

ebon bramble
#

venthyr is

wary ice
#

Does venthyr lose multidotting or something

brittle pawn
#

it must

glacial quarry
#

is IQD any good for ass? i would have thought not, but i assume it can be useful by comboing with flag?

ebon bramble
#

if you can get it to proc stats all the time maybe?

glacial quarry
#

i have one anyway and it's my only decent trinket PepeHands

wary ice
#

get a wa to track when it gives stats

wary ice
#

3 min cd trinket is a feels bad on assa tbh

ebon bramble
#

track it...

glacial quarry
#

yeah, i have the WA, i'm good at proccing it, since i do it with my boomie a lot

limber lion
#

It's risky after the first cast

wary ice
#

but fatty stats are fatty stats

ebon bramble
#

doesnt matter if you track it

limber lion
#

But should be fine if you're not getting destroyed by the boss

glacial quarry
#

but is it best to time with flag or hold for vendetta?

ebon bramble
#

raids = iqd unreliable

#

m+ = iqd wonderful

wary ice
#

It naturally lines up with every other flag

glacial quarry
#

yeah i'm mostly gonna use it for m+

wispy leaf
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

glacial quarry
#

i want dreadfire for raids

ebon bramble
#

then be wonderful

stoic needle
#

fun fact: hateful chain is roughly equivalent to dreadfire of the same bracket at ~22% haste

#

because the proc is hasted

glacial quarry
#

phial + hateful/dreadfire best for raids then?

ebon bramble
#

i thought ass was going to go up in ranking this week

#

was disappointed

sullen pagoda
#

disappointed in what

glacial quarry
#

i'm enjoying it in m+ with zoldyck's, bottom until execute phase, then i shoot upwards

sullen pagoda
#

it increased in ranks by a lot

wary ice
#

Its not like assa got crazy buffs

ebon bramble
#

i expected it to go up further. disappointment

sullen pagoda
#

???

balmy condor
brittle pawn
#

because too many ppl followed infexious guide sadge

sullen pagoda
#

its literally near the top on every ST boss

balmy condor
sullen pagoda
glacial quarry
#

i hope it doesn't go too high or i'll be accused of being a fotm reroller PepeHands

sullen pagoda
#

nah fam until we beat 2nd best class by 1k minimum aint buffed enough

ionic kelp
#

sin going to go higher when more people are geared towards sin

solar flicker
#

its literally #1 boss dmg 95%+ lol

ionic kelp
#

no way it is

#

i doubt we beat spriest

sullen pagoda
#

yeah spriest is a bit nuts atm

jade coral
#

what's ppls cd rotation for sludgefist?

#

use vendetta on pull or wait until 1st pillar?

ionic kelp
#

mythic or heroic

#

m: all cds opener / 2 / 4, shiv in between pillars and on every pillar

glacial quarry
#

i assume it's on pull if you're gonna use up the 4th pillar, on 1st pillar if you're not going to hit it?

jade coral
#

ahh is that right

ionic kelp
#

hc: no idea i meme this fight on sales but i assume u do it on 1st pillar dpeneding on your guild/group

jade coral
#

we always hit 4th pillar

#

and what leggo ? doomblade? or zoldyks worth it for some reason?

ebon bramble
#

the question remains, is assassination a better pick than unholy dk? 🤔

glacial quarry
#

then yeah, but assuming it's hc, the more you farm it and gear, the less you'll end up doing on the 4th pillar

ebon bramble
#

rip utility

glacial quarry
#

so be sure to adjust to nuking 1st pillar when that happens

ebon bramble
#

and a melee spot with no utility

wary ice
#

If you hit 4th piller its pull/2/4 if you dont its hold/1/3 - this is true for basically every 2 min cd in the game

ionic kelp
lament dove
#

the 3rd SBS dmg supposed to be sudden fractures?

ebon bramble
#

wooo another necrolord

#

necro > venthyr!

sick cairn
#

is it better to do master assasin on single target dps?

balmy condor
sick cairn
#

like in raids?

#

or is the 80% damage from garrote that worth it

ebon bramble
#

nah, less single target

#

good for m+ tho

sick cairn
#

got it

lament dove
#

I just went back to necro from NF... all I see is combopoints everywhere...

sick cairn
#

so the opener is different for MA?

ebon bramble
ruby ingot
#

Hi guys

sick cairn
#

u guys are M+ spammers?

ruby ingot
#

So I did heroic don with guild last night, we didn’t kill, but got Farley close. Should I keep running zoldycks for our next raid night on that fight or go doomblade since I just picked it up

mighty ether
#

hi guys i have a question what are the best ring enchants and gems for single target at the moment i got vers ones

ruby ingot
#

My boss dmg was quite high.. like 400k higher than next person, I know this prob should t happen but they aren’t the best players

ionic kelp
sick cairn
#

u basically have constant executes

ruby ingot
#

Ok

#

I will do a few sims and see

#

Maybe try to kill normal Donny to test as well?

ionic kelp
#

simming doesnt mean anything for that boss

#

cause you arent standing still and ignoring mechanics, nor does it take into acc the actual hard part for progression which is just p3

ruby ingot
#

Ya

#

That’s why I only use sims carefully

#

I just see wat could potentially higher but mostly have to see for myself

charred mango
#

so in the ST opener, after the initial mut-snd-mut do you all have a global or so empty waiting for energy for the garotte?

ionic kelp
#

you running ds?

ruby ingot
#

Don’t you vendetta after that to regain energy then apply bleeds

#

Then mut til max then flag vanish envenom

ionic kelp
#

that happens with ds mainly and some low haste levels? you can do mut - > rupture -> mut -> garrote to get more energy

marsh yew
limber lion
ruby ingot
#

Oh

final star
#

Yeah gonna have to

#

got 17 PF

shadow helm
#

do people still try to kite mythic council last phase

final star
#

yes

#

the big waiter that spawns

ruby ingot
#

Hi phial overhypes unless it’s 226 anyway

shadow helm
#

what do you mean overhyped

ruby ingot
#

Ye

subtle tundra
#

it sims better than SLG trinket

#

233 vs 220

shadow helm
#

its nature dam

ionic kelp
#

i know some guilds that have it on farm, just blast the stoneguard but on prog you are probably kiting him

#

dunno how it is now postnerfs tho

ruby ingot
#

Slg trinket isn’t even near the top sims tho I thought

#

I only have 220 version

#

Does our shiv actually affect phial?

#

And flayedwing?

balmy condor
final star
#

It's a sizeable upgrade

balmy condor
ruby ingot
#

Ya thought so

ionic kelp
#

not having on use trinket in slot 1

final star
#

slot 2 best slot

ionic kelp
ruby ingot
#

Also why doesn’t mutilated flesh crit? To op?

balmy condor
#

Because that’s just how it works

final star
#

because it's based on whether mut crits

#

not itself

ruby ingot
#

Ya I guess but I think it should still crit damn blizz

marsh yew
#

I mean I'd be fine if it crit as long as they don't nerf anything else to compensate 🙂

ruby ingot
#

Ya

royal perch
#

Is it intended that shiv doesn't increase phial

final star
#

Yes

shadow helm
#

sad

#

why do fire mages get benefit from dreadfire then

balmy condor
#

Because their shit isn’t whitelisted

final star
#

Ours are

shadow helm
#

nice favoritism

balmy condor
#

Everything else in the game in fact

#

That conduit on fire mage is the only thing that actually buffs trinkets as far as I know

#

Everything else has been whitelisted

#

We had MA until 9.0.5

brittle pawn
#

it buffs trinkets the same way planned execution does

sleek sparrow
#

Phial overrated FeelsKekMan still better at 220 than most trinks at 226

balmy condor
#

Oh yeah, planned

#

Forgot that one

#

Planned being true crit is also weird to me

#

But blizzard consistency omegalul

sleek sparrow
#

My soul hurts tho, finally had a phial and pox drop in a single PF last night

marsh yew
#

what is planned execution? it doesn't sound familiar to me

brittle pawn
#

true crit?

sleek sparrow
#

It was a sale tho so we had to give it away

tropic echo
#

vigor is generally better than MFD right?

compact pumice
#

No, not on aoe

sleek sparrow
#

Imagine, a fuckin DK wanting pox for ilvl

balmy condor
marsh yew
balmy condor
#

The same way you did with vigor

sleek sparrow
#

It was a pox with leech

#

It was tragic

brittle pawn
sleek sparrow
#

I just had to remind myself I was on my alt tank and it was just for the money BreadyToDie

gusty mirage
#

I fully support selling your soul for more gold

balmy condor
turbid fiber
#

Hey everyone. Would it be worth crafting the execute legendary for assassination primarily for Sire Denathrius fight? I am running doomblade right now, so don’t know if the damage would be significantly higher

sleek sparrow
#

My DH only has a 213 OH tho so it was pretty sadge

brittle pawn
#

imagine not being full 226 with a 220/207 weapon set

limber lion
balmy condor
#

That’s fine

#

The secret is

#

Openers don’t matter

#

For shit

sleek sparrow
balmy condor
#

If you change a little here or there

#

It’s fine

vague scroll
#

true

limber lion
turbid fiber
#

Okay, because me and my guild are only running heroic atm. In that case I think I will just continue with outlaw I think

balmy condor
#

But people in pve worrying about PvE openers are straight clowning

limber lion
#

Ah I remember the good ol' days when Swifty was giving away razer gear every day

#

Brings me back man

sharp pawn
wind nacelle
#

Not what I wanted, but I’ll take it

dark crag
#

first boss as assa and 18% envenom crits in a 3:30 fight with ma

#

what a good start

gusty mirage
balmy condor
quick vale
dark crag
#

and still a 95% kekw

unique dew
#

greenshot

dark crag
#

with NF

brittle pawn
#

overcapping a lot of energy/cp

sharp pawn
#

i think that was the orbs

gusty mirage
#

You know how mine blown I was when I learned about the snipping tool? I’ve been old school copy and pasting into paint and cropping stuff there for like 2 decades now

sharp pawn
#

i mean going for orb mechanic

#

but dont remember

wind nacelle
unique dew
#

you out here taking screenshots with your nokia

brittle pawn
#

playing with a shit group that takes 6 min to kill a 3 min boss doesn't help logs either

wind nacelle
#

Yeah didn’t think of booting up discord 😂🤣

brittle pawn
#

oh its mythic

sharp pawn
#

yea

balmy condor
wind nacelle
#

Literally opened vault, took photo and off pc and omw to vote lol

brittle pawn
balmy condor
#

You mean less

brittle pawn
#

hm

#

guess i just saw seal fate high ratio

#

but that could be from fok i guess

sharp pawn
#

yea im using fok when 3 adds are there

balmy condor
#

I mean it also can be crits from mut on 4

sharp pawn
#

so 4+? its not wrong ?

brittle pawn
#

right

#

im gonna go take a nap

#

ignore me @sharp pawn

ionic kelp
#

innerva is a fight where your garrote / rupt should never fall off at any point

sharp pawn
#

hahah why

steep hamlet
#

Ive got 18% haste and im venth but I feel like with DS talented Im still a bit too low on energy most of the time for comfort

brittle pawn

pretty much everything i said was wrong :^)

steep hamlet
#

is this just how it is or am i trash

sharp pawn
#

i think every fight i should´t let them fall off xd

cunning surge
#

Yeah I was about to say, 93% Rupture is a bit low since you want to at least aim for 95+%

balmy condor
sharp pawn
#

i will try better

ionic kelp
#

you sit boss, and even fi you go out for lines your rupt/garrot should still be good

steep hamlet
#

hard life

balmy condor
#

Sin is a slow spec

sharp pawn
#

but im probably getting distracted by mechanics

balmy condor
#

Such is life

ionic kelp
#

ya, but its a prog boss so thats definitely nto a bad thing

steep hamlet
#

i was hoping with higher haste and venth i wouldnt have to wait for energy as long outside of vendetta and thrill seeker

cunning surge
#

I mean yeah, things will happen

balmy condor
#

You need like 65% haste average to get to sub

#

And like 140% to reach similar to outlaw

#

10% haste doesn’t do shit tbh

sharp pawn
#

i have 16% take it or leave it ^^

ionic kelp
#

you also missed a vendetta cast right at the end cause you vendettad like 2.5minutes after opener

cunning surge
#

One thing I will say @sharp pawn, is I see you only had 19 Envenoms in your 12 Shiv casts, you should probably try to aim to get at least 2 Envenoms in each Shiv at minimum beacause the damage boost is huge, even without WPS

gusty mirage
#

So what you’re saying is get 140% haste

brittle pawn
#

thats what i heard

sharp pawn
#

ah okok

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

I had like 135% and I felt very uncomfortable

ionic kelp
#

you can also hold flag for vendetta too and get an extra cast in after your 2nd and before your 3rd vendetta

gusty mirage
#

My brain just stopped working, I legit just stopped pressing buttons

ionic kelp
#

so you'll still get 4 flags in the fight

gusty mirage
#

Only hold flag for vendetta if it’ll be your last cast of the boss fight

balmy condor
#

Holding flag kinda cringy

gusty mirage
#

But even then it’s not an insane amount to bother with

ionic kelp
#

dont see whats wrong with holding it for ven if you never lose a timer

#

but i noticed this log missed a whole flag cast anyways

cunning surge
#

It's still like, the ONLY time you would ever hold Flag for Ven

compact pumice
#

what if you fuck flag timing up and need to re-garrote, re-rupture, wait a few secs for shiv and then Vendetta seems real close just when you got 5cp, shiv up and around 80 energy? Just say fuck it and go for it anyway?

brittle pawn
#

wot?

compact pumice
#

I mean you're not prepared to maximize flag value basically

gusty mirage
#

That’s an oddly specific situation omegalul

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

I mean sure hold it then I guess

#

Or just full send it like I do

#

And swear at yourself for having to refresh a bleed during a vendetta window

subtle tundra
#

whats the problem with that

ionic kelp
#

ill full send flag on prog fights when i dont know kill timers

compact pumice
#

I'm still new to assa though so sometimes I miss that there's a ramp up to spamming Envenoms

onyx wind
#

isnt progress where ur supposed to learn timers for bosses tho?

gusty mirage
#

Yeah don’t try to big brain lining up flag, just send it

ionic kelp
#

changed it to kill timers, what i meant

#

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

Hi all, new to rogue this expansion and never had occasion to try assassination. Been playing outlaw for a couple of months and enjoying it but interested in making a change. Two questions. Are there any particular gear cutoffs or stat breakpoints that might make assassination better for me to swap to (or just sim it?), and how is assassination in M+

#

Appreciate any info

balmy condor
#

its worse than outlaw

#

but it's fine

i feel like past 20%ish haste it starts to diminish in value, for raiding and if u are venthyr

It's not, it just assumes you have lust on pull

#

I tested this now on target dummies and Deadly Poison snapshots from Crimson Tempest if you're using Nightstalker.

I don't think this matters too much but at least it is a little bit interesting. You will probably still spam FoK on 4+ targets, but since it snapshots Nightstalker maybe Mutilate is a little bit better up until like 5-6 targets. I def don't know the math for this though lol

final star

It's more for the instant damage then

🤷

It'll be more damage to fok > dots

If anyone is curious (I'm trying to make Nightstalker great again) then I can inform you that Serrated Bone Spike also snapshots with Nightstalker if you're in melee range - but not from range for some reason.

proud ore
#

What does this mean snap shot

#

I’m just about to finally swap

#

It’s breaking talents ?

fathom lynx
#

If you're using Nightstalker then dots will deal 50 increased damage until next application; that's snapshotting. It used to be a crazy mechanic back in MoP iirc

(I saw you oshi)

Rath, it's using your current buffs/procs to reapply debuffs with greater effect than what they previously had

Still confused

#

I see

fathom lynx
balmy condor
#

do you have logs

nimble spoke
#

the example that helped me is with feral druid. Tiger's Fury increases the druid's damage for the duration, so they would reapply bleeds if they had Tiger's Fury up so their dots were stronger

I can give you some target dummy logs if you want - though I don't know how to share those

I went Necro since I like to play outlaw in M+. Part of me still wants to go Venthyr, but I like the Fleshcraft shield and SBS doesn't feel bad to play with, imo. I like having the low cost CP generator, especially in aoe for sniping adds

How come no one runs numbing poison in pvp?

marsh yew
#

because crippling poison is too good with master poisoner

#

it going up to a 60% slow when most slows in the game are 50% is really big

#

and even if its a 50% slow it will still let you keep up on a target like a mage for instance

#

granted it should only ever be a 50% slow if your playing subtlety
