I can feel the attack range difference between doing Outlaw before on SLG and doing Sin, now XD
outlaw also has AoE burst
but it's not the damage I miss when I don't play outlaw
better aoe burst, better consistent cleave, better ST without cooldowns
if skirmishers are fine in ur raid u should play assas
It's not just about skirmishers
its all about skirmishers
and having AR ready for basically every pack on fort weeks is pretty nice too
oki
commandos are blasted by wildspirits
I'm not sure my guild will be doing mythic progression, so I'll probably just stick to getting DB leveled for raid and Celerity for 15s

Yeah if you have 3 hunters in your guild.
assassination is simply built for single target with aoe tacked on as talents
Not every guild has that.
what is that slg take
2 are enuff
we carry hunters on sludge so they can carry us on SLG
sludge hunter immunity pog
2 are enuff since u have at least 1 mage
Did any1 play dashing Scoundrel yet?
No ash to try anything
lool
i only have finality D:
Why play dashing when you could doomblade
Yea, I'll never swap from rogue for the guild, again. I feel so behind on leggos
even doomblade + zoldyck are fine if u dont play outlaw
Yea, I was sub, at first, so I got 210 Finality. Feelsbad since I only play it for pvp, now
I have 190 DB and 210 Celerity
Did you reroll for progression?
Yea, to be better in raid, but I'm also interested in getting KSM
KSM can be done on any spec/class
What did you play in raid? i had to play WW
My guild is really just going to farm Heroic, though, we aren't going to be pushing Mythic, I don't think
I played mage, swapped to tank for the guild, then we got a mass influx of tank mains and I swapped to rogue, which I wanted from the start lol
Maw on 4: joke's on me, I started Horde this xpac
nooo dude why u do this to yourself
cba doing maw on alts
most guilds straight up don't bother telling people to do the maw
I wanted to help my guild. First they lacked mages, then everyone wanted to be a mage because of the deeps. So I swapped tank since we were always pugging. I should have just started with my rogue, I hate feeling like my leggos suck for sin
cos everyone knows it's shit
yeah same, but i had to on monk for progression, i got sockets at sire M almost worth it 
I'm kicking myself, now. I should have just rolled rogue from the jump
I think people should just play what they enjoy
Someone being good at something and enjoying it is infinitely better for raid environment in 99% of cases
Yea, I'm learning that the hard way
Yeah especially when you dont push for mythic raids
Yea or if u just dont push for top 100 mythic
Yea. I might be better off getting DB 210, then craft Zol, see which I like. If DB is serviceable in 15s I might not sweat it
Enjoying something doesnt mean u will be better at it always, but it means u actually are inclined to learn the class
and optimize it
You can play anything you want in +15's man dont sweat it
ya like my guild has a guy with a 225 ele shaman and a 220 UH DK
He plays Ele shaman on denathrius
ele is pumping
cos he's more comfortable on it
Ele boss dps is insane
even shits on shadows on devourer now
or maybe because they have to funnel all buffs into a random mage who wants to farm logs 
u mean hungering destroyer?
ah yes sorry im stupid
that's straight up wrong loool
really wish there was an option to toggle off PI on the overall logs
and statistics
makes it so hard to actually tell anything from it
I appreciate it. I'm no world first pusher, or anything, but I'm someone who likes to feel efficient. I might just focus on the themes of each spec and do sin for raid with DB and outlaw Celerity for getting my 15s done. Sub will have to make due with its Finality 210 for now for pvp XD
i'm doing 14/15 as sin, its cool
boss damage dominated by aff lock
ye because they are allowed to use CDs on boss and not on adds
using MA, gathering soul ash for zold rank4
yea, if DB is fine in 15s, then I can just swap based on the affixes if I want more aoe or more ST
and they have remornia
sin can also rupt/garrote remornia
but a good ele will pump more than a mediocre dk on the same player 😛
yes but sin wont beat affliction if u have to vendetta something like gloomveil
Rip AMZ
well, wow clearly favors range dps
if youre 2 healing its pretty good
ain't no guild 2 healing denthrius prog
nono not talking about prog
I am
Oh you are on denath prog right now?
aaaaah isee
I haven't raided since artificer
I despised outlaw in raid
and my performance reflected that
making errors etc
Understandable
my guild is stuck on devourer :<
i swapped to WW after artificer
like
I got deep dick fucked over on artificer as rogue
and it really impacted my overall performance
🤷
rip
but now u can live the comeback dream as sin
hows denathrius going?
sounds good, could be dead next raidnight then
Depends if the last seedplayer choke 
p1 super smooth
p2 smooth for first half
I expect them to clean up p2 first half of next raid
then half way through p3 the 2nd half
then kill him raid after
Lucky p3 try could kill him aswell
Do i have to run Zoldyck in M+ or can i use Dashing Scoundrel?
Unless you run high M+ you can use whatever you feel like usually
You CAN run DS. But Zoldyck provides the overall pump as you don’t need regen in aoe usually.
But also ToP on tyrannical? Have some aoe pumpers but need boss damage? Dashing works pretty well. It’s not black and white on decisions like that
dashing is banger afaik in m+
Yeah well i mostly do 15s right now with friends so i dont know if i can get much out of Zoldyck since both other dds are pretty good and there isnt much time to do execute damage with my group
havent tried it
what classes are u playing with
does our bis legendary for single target differ according to our covenant? Is it still doomblade for nightfae?
yes
We are 2 Windwalkers and me right now
Melee misery comp 
Focus on bosses then lmao
how do i beat the soul ash mission as venthyr
guess if my follower are strong enuff
Most bosses take under 40 seconds not much to focus on ^^
sounds like you blast those keys in like 15minutes anyway
Well it is a fortified week
Even last week AoE focused with a boomy and uhdk bosses still lasted about a minute and a half
guys how do i beat the soul ash mission...
As venthyr? LMAO pray
my good team are the 3 soulbinds, the 1 healing girl and i think sybille
wait ill log on
Hey, im thinking about rerolling to sin rogue. For alliance, is it still recommended to go night elf for the extra reset on the empowered garrote? Or was that more of a end of bfa corruption madness thing?
Bloodmallet says: Mechagnome > Voidelf > Dark iron Dawrf top3 alliance
I checked bloodmallet as well, but I am not sure if the shadowmelt reset is part of the sim.
@onyx wind im using Nadija, Kaletar, Rahel, Theotar and General Draven - they did it pretty easy
usually is thats why Nightelf is so strong for feral for example
I personally did voidelf on my rogue because i think mechagnome sucks ass (visually)
😄

oh let me try that
good ol' meatball
cronan a real one
Ok thanks guys 🙂
ye i hate that man too haha
where can i get venture planner?
Hey guys, thinking of switching from outlaw to sin. How far are we behind on outlaw in terms of mythics?
play whats fun :D
25s mean bleed have more impact 
I dont push high m+ anymore and i dont really play outlaw but i did 7,8k overall in mists 16 on sin if that helps you in any way 
Guys, I switched to assa and to Venthyr last week. I'm very happy with raid performance, got couple 90+% ilvl parses on heroic raid yesterday. I struggled on Denathrius, only 50% parse. I tried to multidot every add, sire and sword and it is not optimal probably. I also tried 14+ mythic, but I was not sure how to distribute dots and when to use crimson tempest. Is there any m+ guide? I checked all pined guides and there is nothing or very little for m+. Let's say you are in +15 and there are 5 mobs which will live like 30+ seconds, standard m+ talent build. What is your opener? Stealth>garrote>garrote>garrote>FoK + 5xrupture>FoK+CT spam, redot? Or something else. What about big pulls, 10+ mobs, FoK + ct spam?
Thanks
infexous has a good m+ youtube guide
no he doesn't
ya dont think?
LOL fair
it's inaccurate garbage
why do you say that? i play rogue as an alt so i dont follow the community as closely as i do with my main, kinda just assumed his content was fine
3x garrote -> fok -> CT is what i do then i start rupturing if i have SND up already
he just says wrong thing
and on 10ish targets i basically spam fok and CT with 2 or 3 rupture
he's a good player, but that doesn't mean the info he shares is accurate
fair enough, is there any assa content creator that has good info then?
or not so much
JustRuss has a really good video guide.
Best content creator for rogue
If you're into that sort of thing
ill check it out thanks cev
Welcome to my 9.0.5 Assassination Rogue Guide. I will explain and mainly focus on the Venthyr rotation with an in-depth section on how to open on a boss encounter, along with the general rules of the rotation outside of your dps cooldowns. I hope that my explanations will help you to understand WHY you are pressing the buttons you should press, ...
Here you go
Yeah but some people prefer watching a video instead of reading a guide.
And that's completely fine.
listening feels better than reading 
videos can be prone to inaccuracy and become outdated
i mean it was just a question about if there was any content creators, no need to be weird about it
yeah
hmm.... time to check this shit out, im always down for more information... or a good laugh
some people are into video guides that is fine
not saying to not watch it
RH is a vibrant place for sure
better direct them toward good one
Where in the pins is the m+ opener?
More that straight from the horses mouth is gonna be way better
rather than the middle man
garrote garrote garrote garrote
%80 of video guides ive watched have given out dated or flat out wrong information
but are pretty good fro people just getting into rogue
3 targets with Subterfuge and Crimston Tempest talents:
Gar (target 1) - Gar (target 2) - Gar (target 3) - SnD - Muti - Rup - Muti - Muti - Flag - Vendetta - Shiv - CT - Muti - Vanish - Reapply Garrotes on all targets, etc.
things is yeah guide get out of date
Videos are just hard to keep updated. The written guides in the pins are updated frequently
Yeah there isn't a pin for rotations, but you can refer to the guides as well
quickly
!guide
Iirc Russ did a pretty good job with the video
but that russ video is good
facts
bro what is that
videos only as good as the date they are uploaded
3 target boss ?
Imma check it out, see if hes worth following
It's a 3 target opener, like it says at the top.
but better redirect them toward decent ones even if they're not perfect than leaving people alone watching misleading guides
Yeh cause you run MFD in every dungeon
I'll have you know that most people run Vigor in dungeons, not MFD.
no DS? rip
MfD is better, but vigor is comfy gaming ngl
not playing mfd in m+ 
vigor is comfy but im never giving up MFD CT
Yeah I only run mfd too
just take DS and be rebellious
just talent into the weaker one to be rebellions
And that's fine. The top 5 highest rated Assa rogues run EP/Vig/CT.
OWNING
But you can do that if it makes you feel better.
top 5 highest rated assa rogues 😎
again top players in m+
😂
are not always running the best set up
top outlaw player took forever to finally talent into MFD
Yep, def not.
And it's a minimal gain if anything.
Like said earlier, it doesn't matter what talents/legendaries you use
Just play what you want xd
Nothing matters
3 target opener is nice to see, but in m+ there are almost no 3 mobs pulls. I would like to see 5+ mobs opener. How to balance rupture and garrote and when FoK + ct spam...
You never Fok + CT spam
You would open gar gar gar gar ct fok rup with vigor

and gar gar gar rup mfd ct with MFD
By looking at raider.io?
are u playing MFD
cant find assa specifically as a spec
only top rogues
yeah, but with 10+ mobs I think you don't rupture them all, makes no sense
Look at spec specific leaderboards, not class.
anyone know how to use SBS as assassination
oh true
Raider.IO is a World of Warcraft (WoW) Mythic+ and Raid Progression rankings site! You can view your Character & Guild Profiles, check your Mythic+ scores & Raid Progress, follow the Race to World First, and much more.
wait i can get rank1 assa
There you go
i just need to find people who want to carry me
Anyone can.
Yea
It's really low compared to other specs.
Yea again
yo it's fine to pool energy before u shiv ?
It's first "push" week
if u dont cap
And it's a bad one for assassination
i'm a outlaw brain so like
But you don't want to delay casting Shiv
i usually forget to pool
Yea top 10 rogues, 1 running MFD and one running DS
yeah ik
Nothing legit matters
Yeah pretty much.

Don't need to spam, unless you know for sure you can get 3 envenom casts off with your energy gains.
assa rogue is the 4th lowest spec on io sadge
That would require several targets and or lust/vendetta though so eh
Ye, it should change slowly after buff but still be on the lower spectrum
Envenom does pandemic though, so you don't need to wait for it to drop before applying. Just in case if you weren't aware
did they fix that?
Fine to Envenom at 2s
Yes
nice, when?
Before 9.0.5
No, they broke it before 9.0.5
Then they fixed it like 2 days before releasing 9.0.5
ok I’m glad
In fact they broke it in 9.0 or maybe even in beta
When they were messing with Dashing Scoundrel
so many bugs with all the rogue specs
Still some, like the Finality bug, but that's just a good thing
hi, does SBS dot count as bleed if I use Dloomblade?
Yeh no clue about that.
Yes
ty
Also does for zyldick iirc
Yes, sir
yep
And for Zoldyck
Personally, using it over Muta during Shiv windows to spam envenom
Due to low energy cost
Of course not letting it cap on charges etc

yes, it’s just odd since mutliate is already such a good cp builder
so I’m not sure how to use it in ST
in aoe I believe it’s just like outlaw
Basically, the first spike I use during the opener, gives only 1 CP
Sadly yes
it’s 1/2cp depending on how game calculates it
But ideally you use it at 3cp, and after that just use it like mutilate i guess
Is it worth casting envenom at lets say 4 cp if u have shiv up?
and cant fit another
its what ive been doing but idk
Without DS
yes
me too! i run it for all content, outlaw included
Especially when running Doomblade, it pulls ahead quite a bit.
Even more if it's during Flag window
no with DS
Yes
Just hit Muta one more time
No
If your Shiv has 1s left and you have to choose between Muti/Env at 4cp with DS
You Env
Oh yeah, in that case yes
The question was if shiv is up, not if it was about to expire
Thats why i was confused
I'm sure there's many others who are inting wayyyyy harder 
Does Shiv buff Nature damage from Trinkets?
No it wasn't
Read up again
I see
My bad
Didn't see the 2nd part 😁
I hit Sludge yesterday for 26k with Envenom during pillar
felt good
No
My best is 51k, but I play the cheese build on Sludge, not the usual BS/DS
god forbid every trinket isnt equally balanced
dont make any of them interact with any spec
and while ur at it, make them as boring as possible
ye rly sad how incredibly boring the trinkets are in SL
haven’t come across a single interesting one
Question: I am seeing and hearing that Subterfuge isnt what we use for single target bosses anymore. I was super surprised! But ok. How does this change my opener ?
We need CoF V2
IQD is the most fun one

or quantum device is a bit Interesting I suppose
hey all should you always line flagellation up with vendetta? I've got some pretty confident but conflicting info from some people I asked in game
If fight is 5 mins or less
otherwise on 6 dont so you get extra flagellation?
No
You use it on CD
Flag on CD always 
makes sense. thanks all XD
Yeah and on 4 min it uses it on cd
And 3 min it matches it again
whats the gain from lining up flag with vendetta and NOT losing a cast
Good luck
Can't remember off the top of my head, there's probably some sims in #tc-research
another question as I read from up above. What is this cheese build for sludge?
actually useful or just something silly to do?
It's actually useful and will provide more damage overall if the fight is on the shorter side.
yea was playing MA on some fights as sub aswell
very very very dependant on fight length tho
The most important thing is that Sludge has to die at a good time, not necessarily quick
1st and 3rd pillar
No
Just after burst
Definitely not
You lust 2nd pillar and use cds on pull and second pillar
And boss has to die after that.
The boss dies on 2nd pillar
So 3 min users only get 1 use anyways
So they just save it for 2nd pillar
Yeh, probably shouldn't talk smack and be so overly-confident if you're not aware
It's like me giving advice on Boomkin's
And I have no fucking clue what they even do
Ye that's what I think as well
No one, I'm just a bit tired and exaggerating everything
Sorry

I'll go do my boost run and chill for a bit
Bad Ceverion
But na boomy is just as fight length dependant
If not more than rogue
Saving convoke for CA
My boomer only 220 though
Double on use trinket 
boomie in my guild got 226 ordinance
playing mage for my alt
its actually fun in m+ :O
🤮
Agree it good
not the class
Where they brain dead spam ice lance
so basic
Arcane Barrage!
ive got an arcane mage in my guild
I crafted the arcane barrage thing
played 1 key
that was renown 9
mage is still renown 9
Idk i played mage in nyalotha because we needed it thats why i level'd up mage 2nd in shadowlands but idk i cant be bothered playing ranges
because u played MoP casters
dont remind me :(
the difference in class design between mop and everything else after that (besides WoD maybe) its so fucking huge
casters were so fun back in the day
Sadly mop was the 1 expansion I didn't play
u missed out brother
I've heard
warlock and mage were so insanely awesome to play
mop was banger
tanks were awesome
Well, I played the start of it and then quit pretty much immediately
mop is the only addon (i started in BC) in which i loved being a caster, i usually play melee only
yes classwise 100% agree
i also think shadowlands is on a good way but a few miles are missing still
maybe next xpac 
i loved Sub Rogue in WoD
WoW has a serious power creep every expansion
You feel like shit in X.1
Then you feel like a god in X.3
I've killed the Unmaker, Argus. The Titan of Death.
Raids in general in WoD were insane
warrior tank in WoD
lmao
🙂
tbh I'll always remember porting into argus' room the first time having not seen the boss before
and then they removed it because they werent able to balance it D:
it looked so damn good
Thanks target cap
absolutely
Gul'dan was sick af as well for sure
imperator was so fun
gul'dan was nice yea
Especially as a rogue on gul'dan
a really nice end boss
Seeing Illidan come down the first time was so pog
i miss NH
I love Star Augur and Blackhand
Where you had personal responsibility
I was waiting for something similar with Garrosh on Sire
star augur is def up there for me aswell
But nothing ever happened 😢
never progged NH, quit and came back after, are you seeing a trend? 🙂
NH was honestly immaculate
i miss when they made x.0.5 raids
Elisande fight was so unique
trial of valor was actually good
the only thing i hated about blackhand was the fact that you need like 18 out of 20 ppl with "the right class" to actually play the boss. 3 hunters with aspect of the fox , 2 boomer and 2 wl to cheese the balcony and stuff , 3 rogues which would actually just run around baiting the fucking tankfires
When the Monk tank taunted Guam during charge >>>>>>>
HAHAH
ppl always hate pvp thats why they raid 8-)
Kelthuzad is coming back
you think so? i think nathria is fine besides SLG
I just started council last night and that fight is really fun so far
how can u like council wtf...
Council sucks
Council stinks
new to assa, which missives for doomblade on hands?
Worst fight in raid after sun King
sludgefist and artificer are the only fun fights for me
arti is budget council
and artificer is only fun without dps stop
I like huntsman
???
hunstman AKA lootship
Huntsman fun
but those fights are not target dummies
3 intermissions and immune shields the fight
I will die on this hill
it feels like ur DPS matters and there is individual responsibility
arti is except when you get mechanics it just feels bad and doesn't feel rewarding that you did something
and progging arti was wait till your seeds figured out how to do seeds
then you kill it
like nice
sure but the fight is kinda fun to play
I was entrance seed
As outlaw
It was not a fun fight
It literally made me stop raiding
imagine not quitting in 8.0
haha
speaking of damage stops
i'm in a sire hc pug rn
boss transitioned when everyone still had 4 stacks

was so nice farming 3x shadowstrike traits to just have like
blizzard say no
then u go play assa
sToP dAmAgE
saddest part was
Any tips how to open as a necro assa? With subterfuge
assa was really fun to play with Shrouded and exsang
bonus points, there was a rogue in the group, outlaw
got rank1 in mythic back then
and he flamed me for not doing enough dps in p1
Outlaw was screwed hard with the launch of EN
b-b-but ilgynoth
and i was the living incarnation of "?????????????????"
dude u have to pad in p1 if u want good logs
its hard to pad, the adds die fucking instantly I swear
mythic prob live a bit longer
Why do you open with Mutilate instead of Ambush from stealth opener?
!mut
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.
inerva and sludge are like the only fights where logs are accurate
maybe shriek and huntsman but who cares abt those
yeah when you get beams during bloodlust and on your 2nd 2 min cd pops when the adds spawn
fucking pog champion let me tell you
beams = ranged mechanic 😎
Why do you open with Mutilate instead of Ambush from stealth opener?
Ambush DMG is higher, no?
are you blind?
ambush big dam 
rerolled covs last night, hopefully blizz lets me get 30 by tuesday
Oh okay so alacrity grants stackable haste.
going venth?
Yes, and the % proc chance depends on combo points
So getting a stack on the first SnD is a higher chance with mutilate
necro seems better if you want to do more than raid log
Dmg between necro and venthyr is minimum, no?
I thought it might pump in pvp, but u need burst from flag I think, on cleave its way better but maybe I just go outlaw for fights that have a lot of cleave

and outlaw ST/burrs is pretty close
some people think 2% is a lot, some people think its not
so I'm only losing sustained cleave really on outlaw, which I can live with
Yea its way better on cleave bosses such as:
fair point @icy crater
uhh
remornia padding 😄
Doesn’t remornia share health with den
which is why u wanna cleave remornia
since 2 is a lot more realistic
necro still ahead
idk by how much tho
simming 3 target 5 minutes is basically as biased for necro
as simming 24 seconds for venthyr is
At least for me it's 300 dps higher for Necro.
TIL "stop damage" translates to "use your combust" in mage-speak
is the master assassin opener on Ravenholdt correct? it feels weird to sit there for like 4 seconds to get energy for garrote.
Mutilate - Slice and Dice - Mutilate - Garrote - Rupture - Vendetta - Shiv - Vanish - Mutilate till 4+ combo points - Envenom
Ye we also have this kind of mage in my guild 
its good if u have lust
i usually vendetta earlier than that if i dont have lust
DS or Vigor
ah, we're working sludgefist so it seems slower. i have been using vendetta earlier
DS with 22% haste, necrolord
gotcha
on sludge i do mut SnD mut vendetta garrote (flag) rupture shiv, pool for 80 energy then vanish mut env mut
but prob is different if ur not playing venthyr
ok i'll give something like that a try tonight.
yeah we're doing that too.
i shiv early aswell to make it line up for stomps before first pillar
do you get a 2nd one in before first pillar or hold?
don't you want to pool before casting shiv ?
i tried doing it and it seems worse
since ur shiv lines up worse for pillar
and stomps
not really on mythic no
makes sense
but in general sure
but you lose potential value / shiv
in general i meant
but i guess its not enough to lose like a full cp envenom in shiv window
prob makes sense timing wise
ive only done hc sludge with assa like once
not even there on mythic so
yeah we just started mythic so i am getting used to the timers. i was holding shiv but i'll just use it on CD more tonight
hey is the cov to go for any spec of rogue venthyr necro or does it not matter still?
only time you really hold it is for first stomp on after first pillar
atleast thats what i do
since if u cast it off CD u lose a lot to stomp
and it doesnt line up with 2nd pillar where u have CD's
lol i had that on sludge... shiv and then he stompts 🤮
felt bad
when you play that out 100 times, u start making changes XD
i think any cov but kyrian is pretty good atm
for any spec
u mean venthyr right?
all except kyrian is what i mean
oh i misread
sooooooooooooooo if i wanna get the most out of my sub rogue
what cov do i need to go now
is currently dead
not rlly sure for sub may also depend on pvp / pve focus
thank you though
@onyx wind thanks for the info
ye prob venthyr until they change flag like they did for reverb (if pvp matters)
i like the consult the general alive people before past messages
they already nerfed it in pvp no?
oh possibly
for questions about sub tho, fuu is probably one of the best sources of info
fuu literally responded to him in sub
So random folk of all skill levels instead of the theorycrafters that spend hours upon hours theorycrafting?
XD
ye fuu responds to alot of questions

All the TCs are homies in this discord tho
Hey guys so I’ve been playing sub since SL and switched to assassination on Sunday for the first time. Right now I’m averaging like ~60 parses. Is there someone that could check my logs and give me some pointers to improve on? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/55165672#spec=Assassination
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
and im also just looking for a straight answer
ty ^^
You want whatever the sims tell you
which is crit>=haste>vers>=mastery
Which varies depending on your current gear
ye crit is actually pretty good for assa
need to get rid of my vers enchants and gems
Is there any fight u want specific help on?
or that u feel like u did well on
Openers are minimal; however, I noticed (and assuming you’re running MA) on just a quick look.
You go Mut > SnD > Mut > Mut > Rupt then you go shiv > CD > Mut > envenom > vendetta
Probably darkvein or hungering would be the ones I thought I was doing it right but my parse still sucked.
checked the Hungering kill, you want to cast sepsis before shiv so the explosion is in the shiv window. If you can make sure to vanish for MA talent buff while the explosion happens, that's even better
Well you arent venthyr so that makes it hard to compare logs
And also makes it hard to parse well
So that’s a weird sequence at the end, you could have just been unlucky with the MA mut before rupture and while a loss, not huge. There at the end, I’d look at going Mut > sepsis > vendetta/shiv (vendetta doesn’t take a CD) into envenom
for sure
:P
I dont think being venthyr makes it that hard to parse well lel
NF is actually giga on Shriek/Sludge
The sepsis explosion on pillar 

And the on-demand mastery from Grove Invig
also good on Sun King shield if you time it right
That's how you get those juicy 50k+ Envenom's
I think your opener could use a lot of work
Ah I gotcha
Also you refresh bleeds in shiv sometimes, which isnt inherently that bad
just try to avoid it
and plan ahead
does pressing vendetta while stealth unstealth u?
No
you cast rupture in shiv A LOT
haven't tried it in a while so I couldn't even answer that lol
I also forgot the garrote cast, so after your rupture you’d want to garrote > Mut > sepsis > Shiv/vendetta> envenom
jus twondering cuz AR does get u out of stealth lol
That is indeed thicc damagé
So are you wanting to try and just envenom during shiv?
Yeah, that's how you scare boys in bgs
Also more specifically in this fight
You just put Vendetta on them but don't actually open
yeah, get as many envenoms in the shiv window
Just run ahead
U arent putting up bleeds on the adds
isnt burrs still really good damagr in st
Mind games with cool downs 
unless u just had insane block RNG
but yea u pretty much wanna dot anything u can with bleeds
and then grab some CDR upgrade and do it again
damn, it's so annoying to hold vendetta for a few seconds while dotting up the ads
Yeh, wouldn't exactly recommend it but it's a thing you can do for sure 
So for darkvein I was trying to bleed the big add and the boss. The other to adds seemed like they died to quick to be worth it?
its still worth it
maybe apart from first set
also depends a lot on group comp
didnt reclear as assa yet, so have yet to minmax a lot of fights
the small adds die fast so you can throw a 3 cp rupture, but the big ad is worth dotting hard
@worn pilot Also try to keep poisons up on the adds
otherwise ur bleeds are basically useless
depends if you got a good guild or not xD
Yea that was one thing I did figure out myself was to cast the aoe button. When the addds pop to apply poisons
hey, some humans forget they already used thei racial
Cast mutilate instead
its a higher chance to apply poisons and deals more damage
mutilate also leaves the doomblade bleed if you play the lego
how to parse on xymox = assign people to walk into traps and cleave them
and yes, people actually do this
I got last night protal + ghosts 2 times in a row
I died because I used cloak on first ghost and couldn't run from 2nd ghost 
and we wiped at 360k hp
Gotcha well thanks for the pointers guys! Hopefully I can start doing better. Sin has definitely been a big change from sub.
misplayed tbh, can always outrun ghost
btw ur ghost spawns behind u
I know but ghost spawned after I placed portal and on the other side were the seeds
so the ghost spawned on the portal
Is there any way to macro ambush and mutilate together so i can ambush when getting a blindside proc and otherwise mutilate? I have them usually on keybind 1
rip
Scooby doo-ing the ghosts next time
that was worth the cloak, not first ghost
!Bs
Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz

but I cloaked for damage so I can get another cloak later in the fight
i usually cloak first ghosts aswell
Can use a Shift mod macro but you cant just push one button and have it know what to do.
same, you have to be unlucky to get 2 ghosts in a row
so, me
well, me last night as well 
pretty nice to be alliance, don't need to use cloak for traps
if you run a ton of humans 😛
i generally clear traps with my first cloak
not having dk's? 😛
Hello, I am very new to Assa and I have a question on how the opener on 2 targets (e.g. Huntsman) looks like? Do you open with Garrote > Mut > SnD and then pretty much use Single Target Opener and Garrote on other Target when it is up again?
small recruitment pool
ye true it's rreally big difference nowadays
depends a lot on what u play
do u play subterfuge or MA?
thats what i do aswell
just normal opener
then then u cast garrote and rupture first chance u get
on add
I do normal opener, mut rupture the dog, vendetta and cds on huntsman, sneak a garrote(when cd is ready) on dog and continue on huntsman
You want to start with Mut first for the crit 4 combo points.
then just maintain dots
makes sense, thank you!
but I have good tanks and I can play subterfuge 
And maybe one more question: Do I ever use Fan of Knives in that fight? Because I saw a top log and he used Fan of Knives, but I do not really understand why: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WDdj1NARnfQJpzhc#fight=4&type=damage-done&source=21 here
do I sync every vendetta with flag at a 6 min fight? I saw the chart that was posted here, just couldn't find it sorry =]
fan of knives has more range
either due to 4 targets with shades or to refresh poison on offtarget
and if ur at like 4 cp it might be better
he probably had the debuff in last phase
so he did a fok
while running
as venthyr you can time that well so you have more uptime on boss
Might have been out of melee range of the OT and needed to refresh poisons.
I see, thank you all for the answers!
u just press cloak and it insta disappear u never move away from boss
does it work like that?
yes
I assumed it drops it there if I cloak
debuff gone no pool

it mostly depends on how min/max u are
Necro is amazing. Im able to shield myself at least 4 times on Denathrius to help healers out. I feel like the shield soak on phase 3 is a pretty big deal too.
mechagnome venthyr 
Even if your 1% behind on dps thats not the only thing that helps progression
fleshcraft is pretty nice now tbf
how much dmg am i missing out for not getting full sockets?
50 dps?
100ish dps
150 dps
the main advantage on sockets is that you can customize your stats a bit more
from 0 to full sockets
I usually swap crit haste for M+ and haste for raids
cus im wondering how people get 7k sims,
on what boss?
Gear
have good gear
cus i got pretty nice gear, and i run droptimizer and the max upgrades i can get are like +70-+100 max
218 with pretty shitty weapons and I’m at 6300 or so
7k dps = full sockets, 233 mainhand
pretty much
235 legendary and mostly 226 gear
phial
true
wft unethical
