But I only do like 18 lol

nimble spoke
#

I can feel the attack range difference between doing Outlaw before on SLG and doing Sin, now XD

final star
#

outlaw is obviously better damage

#

goes without saying

onyx wind
#

outlaw also has AoE burst

final star
#

but it's not the damage I miss when I don't play outlaw

onyx wind
#

better aoe burst, better consistent cleave, better ST without cooldowns

pallid spear
#

if skirmishers are fine in ur raid u should play assas

final star
#

less reliant on restealths, especially this week

limber lion
pallid spear
#

its all about skirmishers

vagrant mauve
#

and having AR ready for basically every pack on fort weeks is pretty nice too

limber lion
#

oki

pallid spear
#

commandos are blasted by wildspirits

nimble spoke
#

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

frail fossil
limber lion
#

Yeah if you have 3 hunters in your guild.

final star
#

assassination is simply built for single target with aoe tacked on as talents

limber lion
#

Not every guild has that.

frail fossil
#

what is that slg take

pallid spear
#

2 are enuff

onyx wind
#

we carry hunters on sludge so they can carry us on SLG

pallid spear
#

sludge hunter immunity pog

pallid spear
#

Did any1 play dashing Scoundrel yet?

onyx wind
#

No ash to try anything

final star
#

lool

onyx wind
#

have 2x 235 sub legendaries

#

:D

pallid spear
#

i only have finality D:

final star
#

too many legendaries

#

not enough ash

stoic needle
#

Why play dashing when you could doomblade

pallid spear
#

ye torghast and ash are kinda meh

#

sometimes its nice to play new tings 8-)

nimble spoke
#

Yea, I'll never swap from rogue for the guild, again. I feel so behind on leggos

frail fossil
#

u need 3 leggos

#

4 actually, ma, celerity, doomblade, zolck

pallid spear
#

even doomblade + zoldyck are fine if u dont play outlaw

nimble spoke
#

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

pallid spear
#

Did you reroll for progression?

nimble spoke
#

Yea, to be better in raid, but I'm also interested in getting KSM

final star
#

KSM can be done on any spec/class

pallid spear
#

What did you play in raid? i had to play WW

nimble spoke
#

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

pallid spear
#

Maw on 3 chars

#

pog

final star
#

I have a 224 rogue and a 220 boomy LULW

#

I wanna play rogue more

nimble spoke
#

Maw on 4: joke's on me, I started Horde this xpac

final star
#

But will also reroll to any class required

#

🤷

pallid spear
#

nooo dude why u do this to yourself

final star
#

I can still keep my characters up to date

#

3 characters is trivial

onyx wind
#

cba doing maw on alts

final star
#

most guilds straight up don't bother telling people to do the maw

nimble spoke
#

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

final star
#

cos everyone knows it's shit

pallid spear
#

yeah same, but i had to on monk for progression, i got sockets at sire M almost worth it kekw

nimble spoke
#

I'm kicking myself, now. I should have just rolled rogue from the jump

onyx wind
#

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

nimble spoke
#

Yea, I'm learning that the hard way

pallid spear
#

Yeah especially when you dont push for mythic raids

onyx wind
#

Yea or if u just dont push for top 100 mythic

nimble spoke
#

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

onyx wind
#

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

onyx wind
final star
#

ya like my guild has a guy with a 225 ele shaman and a 220 UH DK

#

He plays Ele shaman on denathrius

onyx wind
#

ele is pumping

final star
#

cos he's more comfortable on it

pallid spear
#

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 pepeclown

onyx wind
#

u mean hungering destroyer?

pallid spear
#

ah yes sorry im stupid

final star
#

that's straight up wrong loool

onyx wind
#

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

final star
#

the first ele shaman on M Denathrius logs

#

is 448 for boss damage

nimble spoke
#

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

pallid spear
#

pog

sterile jackal
#

i'm doing 14/15 as sin, its cool

final star
#

boss damage dominated by aff lock

pallid spear
#

ye because they are allowed to use CDs on boss and not on adds

sterile jackal
#

using MA, gathering soul ash for zold rank4

nimble spoke
#

yea, if DB is fine in 15s, then I can just swap based on the affixes if I want more aoe or more ST

pallid spear
#

and they have remornia

final star
#

I mean ele does not pump

#

on denathrius

sterile jackal
#

sin can also rupt/garrote remornia

final star
#

but a good ele will pump more than a mediocre dk on the same player 😛

pallid spear
#

yes but sin wont beat affliction if u have to vendetta something like gloomveil

final star
#

AMZ when the raid average is 225

sterile jackal
#

well, wow clearly favors range dps

final star
#

maybe a few months ago

#

not now though

pallid spear
#

if youre 2 healing its pretty good

final star
#

ain't no guild 2 healing denthrius prog

pallid spear
#

nono not talking about prog

final star
#

I am

pallid spear
#

Oh you are on denath prog right now?

final star
#

my guild is, not me

#

I am not raiding atm

pallid spear
#

aaaaah isee

final star
#

I haven't raided since artificer

#

I despised outlaw in raid

#

and my performance reflected that

#

making errors etc

pallid spear
#

Understandable

sterile jackal
#

my guild is stuck on devourer :<

pallid spear
#

i swapped to WW after artificer

final star
#

like

#

I got deep dick fucked over on artificer as rogue

#

and it really impacted my overall performance

#

🤷

pallid spear
#

rip

final star
#

I was running seed by the entrance to boss room

#

for all of prog

pallid spear
#

but now u can live the comeback dream as sin

final star
#

ya

#

that's the plan once denathrius dies

pallid spear
#

hows denathrius going?

final star
#

they "saw" P3 on their last wipe last night

#

2nd prog night

pallid spear
#

sounds good, could be dead next raidnight then

final star
#

perhaps

#

I expect the one after tbh

#

they are getting better and better quickly

pallid spear
#

Depends if the last seedplayer choke peepochrist

final star
#

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

pallid spear
#

Lucky p3 try could kill him aswell

inland garnet
#

Do i have to run Zoldyck in M+ or can i use Dashing Scoundrel?

pallid spear
#

Unless you run high M+ you can use whatever you feel like usually

spice spire
#

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

onyx wind
inland garnet
#

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

onyx wind
#

havent tried it

stoic bobcat
#

does our bis legendary for single target differ according to our covenant? Is it still doomblade for nightfae?

frail fossil
#

yes

We are 2 Windwalkers and me right now

#

I GOT THE SOUL ASH MISSION LETS GOOO

#

now i can get 235 next week

#

we did it

pallid spear
#

POG

#

i got 1 too but its lvl 60 and i just swapped to venthyr last week 🙂

onyx wind
#

how do i beat the soul ash mission as venthyr

pallid spear
#

guess if my follower are strong enuff

spice spire
inland garnet
#

Most bosses take under 40 seconds not much to focus on ^^

pallid spear
#

sounds like you blast those keys in like 15minutes anyway

spice spire
#

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

onyx wind
#

guys how do i beat the soul ash mission...

spice spire
#

As venthyr? LMAO pray

pallid spear
#

my good team are the 3 soulbinds, the 1 healing girl and i think sybille

#

wait ill log on

turbid geyser
#

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?

pallid spear
final star
turbid geyser
#

I checked bloodmallet as well, but I am not sure if the shadowmelt reset is part of the sim.

pallid spear
#

@onyx wind im using Nadija, Kaletar, Rahel, Theotar and General Draven - they did it pretty easy

final star
#

mechagnome is by FAR the strongest race in the game

#

it cannot be contested

pallid spear
#

I personally did voidelf on my rogue because i think mechagnome sucks ass (visually)

final star
#

diaper babies for a reason

#

ugliest race also best race

pallid spear
#

😄

final star
onyx wind
#

good enough

final star
#

I use venture plan

#

doesn't do me wrong

onyx wind
#

oh let me try that

final star
#

my units are all like level 15 since convenant swap

#

other than the generic ones

pallid spear
#

good ol' meatball

final star
#

cronan a real one

onyx wind
#

meatball is level 38, mostothers are 15-18

#

cronan fucking sucks

turbid geyser
#

Ok thanks guys 🙂

pallid spear
#

ye i hate that man too haha

onyx wind
#

where can i get venture planner?

wicked perch
#

Hey guys, thinking of switching from outlaw to sin. How far are we behind on outlaw in terms of mythics?

onyx wind
#

for +25's? very far behind

#

for +15's? not much

strange python
#

play whats fun :D

pallid spear
#

25s mean bleed have more impact pepe_ball

pallid spear
slow merlin

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?

strange python
final star
#

no he doesn't

strange python
#

ya dont think?

final star
#

nothing he makes is good content

#

at all

strange python
#

LOL fair

final star
#

it's inaccurate garbage

strange python
#

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

pallid spear
pallid spear
#

and on 10ish targets i basically spam fok and CT with 2 or 3 rupture

frail fossil
#

he's a good player, but that doesn't mean the info he shares is accurate

strange python
#

fair enough, is there any assa content creator that has good info then?

#

or not so much

final star
limber lion
#

JustRuss has a really good video guide.

final star
#

Best content creator for rogue

limber lion
#

If you're into that sort of thing

strange python
#

ill check it out thanks cev

limber lion
# strange python 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, ...

▶ Play video
#

Here you go

final star
#

anything in any video on youtube

#

can just be read in the pins

limber lion
#

And that's completely fine.

pallid spear
#

listening feels better than reading Macky

final star
#

videos can be prone to inaccuracy and become outdated

strange python
#

i mean it was just a question about if there was any content creators, no need to be weird about it

frail fossil
#

yeah

frigid kestrel
frail fossil
#

some people are into video guides that is fine

final star
#

not saying to not watch it

limber lion
#

RH is a vibrant place for sure

frail fossil
#

better direct them toward good one

bright timber
#

Where in the pins is the m+ opener?

final star
#

More that straight from the horses mouth is gonna be way better

#

rather than the middle man

frail fossil
frigid kestrel
#

%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

limber lion
# bright timber Where in the pins is the m+ opener?

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.

frail fossil
#

things is yeah guide get out of date

mighty owl
#

Videos are just hard to keep updated. The written guides in the pins are updated frequently

limber lion
#

Yeah there isn't a pin for rotations, but you can refer to the guides as well

frail fossil
#

quickly

limber lion
#

!guide

spice spire
#

Iirc Russ did a pretty good job with the video

frail fossil
#

but that russ video is good

frigid kestrel
final star
#

videos only as good as the date they are uploaded

onyx wind
#

3 target boss ?

frigid kestrel
final star
#

It's just inherent problem with the medium though

#

so can't really blame it

limber lion
onyx wind
#

ye but ur not running MFD

#

so its not a dungeon

#

or what

frail fossil
# frigid kestrel facts

but better redirect them toward decent ones even if they're not perfect than leaving people alone watching misleading guides

limber lion
#

I'll have you know that most people run Vigor in dungeons, not MFD.

onyx wind
#

im asking honestly

#

not throwing shade

pallid spear
#

no DS? rip

final star
#

MfD is better, but vigor is comfy gaming ngl

frail fossil
#

not playing mfd in m+ weird

onyx wind
#

vigor is comfy but im never giving up MFD CT

final star
#

Yeah I only run mfd too

onyx wind
#

mfd CT is what makes me not want to end it all

#

in dungeons

final star
#

Yup

#

especially with nightstalker 😄

pallid spear
#

just take DS and be rebellious

frail fossil
#

just talent into the weaker one to be rebellions

limber lion
frail fossil
#

OWNING

limber lion
#

But you can do that if it makes you feel better.

onyx wind
#

top 5 highest rated assa rogues 😎

frail fossil
#

again top players in m+

final star
#

😂

frail fossil
#

are not always running the best set up

#

top outlaw player took forever to finally talent into MFD

onyx wind
#

but ye vigor prob outscales mfd when ur doing higher keys

#

ngl

limber lion
#

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

onyx wind
#

How do i get a leaderboard of assa rogues

#

jesus man calm down

#

we are here for u

slow merlin
#

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...

limber lion
#

You would open gar gar gar gar ct fok rup with vigor

final star
limber lion
#

and gar gar gar rup mfd ct with MFD

limber lion
onyx wind
#

cant find assa specifically as a spec

#

only top rogues

slow merlin
#

yeah, but with 10+ mobs I think you don't rupture them all, makes no sense

limber lion
#

Look at spec specific leaderboards, not class.

thin inlet
#

anyone know how to use SBS as assassination

onyx wind
#

oh true

frigid kestrel
onyx wind
#

wait i can get rank1 assa

frigid kestrel
#

There you go

onyx wind
#

i just need to find people who want to carry me

limber lion
#

Anyone can.

frigid kestrel
limber lion
#

It's really low compared to other specs.

frigid kestrel
onyx wind
#

im very humble

frail fossil
#

yo it's fine to pool energy before u shiv ?

final star
#

It's first "push" week

frail fossil
#

if u dont cap

final star
#

And it's a bad one for assassination

limber lion
#

And preferred

frail fossil
#

i'm a outlaw brain so like

limber lion
#

But you don't want to delay casting Shiv

frail fossil
#

i usually forget to pool

frigid kestrel
#

Yea top 10 rogues, 1 running MFD and one running DS

frail fossil
#

yeah ik

limber lion
#

You pool before it comes off cooldown

#

Yeh

frigid kestrel
#

Nothing legit matters

onyx wind
#

yea its good to pool

#

but u dont need to

#

as long as u dont try to fuck it up

frail fossil
#

also after pressing evenom i pull to 70 energy ?

#

to extend the debuff

#

ye ?

limber lion
frail fossil
limber lion
#

Don't need to spam, unless you know for sure you can get 3 envenom casts off with your energy gains.

strange python
#

assa rogue is the 4th lowest spec on io sadge

limber lion
#

That would require several targets and or lust/vendetta though so eh

onyx wind
#

i can only get 3x envenoms off with lust and vanish

#

and procs

limber lion
#

Yeh, usually it's 2

#

So better to just wait between Envenom's

frigid kestrel
limber lion
thin inlet
#

did they fix that?

limber lion
#

Fine to Envenom at 2s

limber lion
thin inlet
#

nice, when?

limber lion
#

Before 9.0.5

thin inlet
#

oh

#

cause I heard they broke it

#

in 9.05

limber lion
#

No, they broke it before 9.0.5

#

Then they fixed it like 2 days before releasing 9.0.5

thin inlet
#

ok I’m glad

limber lion
#

In fact they broke it in 9.0 or maybe even in beta

#

When they were messing with Dashing Scoundrel

thin inlet
#

so many bugs with all the rogue specs

limber lion
#

We're doing pretty well now currently

#

Several of the major bugs have been fixed

thin inlet
#

outlaw still has the BTE + flurry interaction bug iirc

#

which is quite painful

limber lion
#

Still some, like the Finality bug, but that's just a good thing

green saffron
#

hi, does SBS dot count as bleed if I use Dloomblade?

limber lion
#

Yeh no clue about that.

green saffron
#

ty

thin inlet
#

Also does for zyldick iirc

limber lion
#

Yes, sir

frosty bridge
#

And for Zoldyck

thin inlet
#

do you know how to use SBS as assa ceverion

#

never gotten an answer for this

frosty bridge
#

Sudden fractures actually sims pretty high for me

#

Compared to WPS

frosty bridge
#

Due to low energy cost

#

Of course not letting it cap on charges etc

final star
thin inlet
#

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

frosty bridge
#

Basically, the first spike I use during the opener, gives only 1 CP

thin inlet
#

well that’s RNG

#

it’s a bug that causes it to vary

frosty bridge
#

Sadly yes

thin inlet
#

it’s 1/2cp depending on how game calculates it

frosty bridge
#

But ideally you use it at 3cp, and after that just use it like mutilate i guess

onyx wind
#

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

frosty bridge
#

yes

drowsy parcel
limber lion
#

Especially when running Doomblade, it pulls ahead quite a bit.

#

Even more if it's during Flag window

onyx wind
#

no with DS

limber lion
#

Yes

frosty bridge
#

Just hit Muta one more time

limber lion
#

No

frosty bridge
#

unless shiv is about to expire, no?

#

Ah, fair enough

limber lion
#

If your Shiv has 1s left and you have to choose between Muti/Env at 4cp with DS

#

You Env

frosty bridge
#

Oh yeah, in that case yes

onyx wind
#

nice thats what ive been doing

#

just wanted to know if i was griefing

frosty bridge
#

The question was if shiv is up, not if it was about to expire

#

Thats why i was confused

limber lion
#

I'm sure there's many others who are inting wayyyyy harder PES_Lul

green saffron
#

Does Shiv buff Nature damage from Trinkets?

limber lion
#

Read up again

frosty bridge
#

I see

#

My bad

#

Didn't see the 2nd part 😁

#

I hit Sludge yesterday for 26k with Envenom during pillar

#

felt good

limber lion
#

My best is 51k, but I play the cheese build on Sludge, not the usual BS/DS

onyx wind
#

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

thin inlet
#

ye rly sad how incredibly boring the trinkets are in SL

#

haven’t come across a single interesting one

knotty heron
#

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 ?

final star
#

We need CoF V2

onyx wind
#

IQD is the most fun one

final star
thin inlet
#

or quantum device is a bit Interesting I suppose

pearl depot
#

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

final star
#

If fight is 5 mins or less

pearl depot
#

otherwise on 6 dont so you get extra flagellation?

spice spire
#

Flag on CD always peophammer

limber lion
#

You can try to line up the last cast of flag

#

But generally just cast on CD

final star
#

Sims use flag with vendetta until 5 min sim

#

6 min and above uses on CD

pearl depot
#

makes sense. thanks all XD

limber lion
#

And 3 min it matches it again

onyx wind
#

whats the gain from lining up flag with vendetta and NOT losing a cast

limber lion
#

Good luck

onyx wind
#

like whats the max gain from gambling

#

ukno

limber lion
#

Can't remember off the top of my head, there's probably some sims in #tc-research

pearl depot
#

another question as I read from up above. What is this cheese build for sludge?

#

actually useful or just something silly to do?

final star
#

Maximising pillar damage with master Assassin legendary, nightstalker, EP

#

Mfd

limber lion
#

It's actually useful and will provide more damage overall if the fight is on the shorter side.

onyx wind
#

yea was playing MA on some fights as sub aswell

#

very very very dependant on fight length tho

final star
#

Fight has to be like

#

3.30ish for best results

limber lion
#

The most important thing is that Sludge has to die at a good time, not necessarily quick

final star
#

1st and 3rd pillar

limber lion
final star
#

Just after burst

limber lion
#

Definitely not

#

You lust 2nd pillar and use cds on pull and second pillar

#

And boss has to die after that.

final star
#

Lucky boi getting lust on 2nd pillar

#

With 3 mins cd gamers

limber lion
#

The boss dies on 2nd pillar

#

So 3 min users only get 1 use anyways

#

So they just save it for 2nd pillar

final star
#

I haven't done a main raider hc run

#

Since the 2nd week of mythic

limber lion
#

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

Sorry

Bad Ceverion

But na boomy is just as fight length dependant

If not more than rogue

Saving convoke for CA

onyx wind

luckily fight lengths are very similar on mythic

and noone cares abt heroic

Or using convoke on CD

Big stink sometimes

what can i say

#

the class is fun

and always good

final star

Disagree

#

That it's fun

onyx wind

ok i take that back

#

fire is fun

final star

Agree it good

onyx wind

not the class

final star

Frost more fun to me than fire

Before their aoe legendary

yeah frost is goat

arcane is the only stinker

final star

Where they brain dead spam ice lance

rotund arch

so basic

pallid spear

Arcane Barrage!

rotund arch
#

would rather play havoc than arcane

#

actually I take that back

onyx wind
#

ive got an arcane mage in my guild

pallid spear
#

I crafted the arcane barrage thing

#

played 1 key

#

that was renown 9

#

mage is still renown 9

onyx wind
#

arcane in keys 😎

#

my mage hit renown 40 before my rogue...

pallid spear
#

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

onyx wind
#

dont remind me :(

pallid spear
#

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

icy crater
#

Sadly mop was the 1 expansion I didn't play

pallid spear
#

u missed out brother

icy crater
#

I've heard

pallid spear
#

warlock and mage were so insanely awesome to play

onyx wind
#

mop was banger

pallid spear
#

tanks were awesome

icy crater
#

Well, I played the start of it and then quit pretty much immediately

pallid spear
#

mop is the only addon (i started in BC) in which i loved being a caster, i usually play melee only

onyx wind
#

WoD was fine aswell

#

imo

pallid spear
#

yes classwise 100% agree

#

i also think shadowlands is on a good way but a few miles are missing still

#

maybe next xpac PiratePoggers

onyx wind
#

shadowlands is nice but

#

u almost never feel "strong"

molten compass
#

i loved Sub Rogue in WoD

limber lion
#

WoW has a serious power creep every expansion

#

You feel like shit in X.1

#

Then you feel like a god in X.3

icy crater
#

I played through high maul in wod then quit after

#

That raid was honestly really good

onyx wind
#

like no class/spec is allowed to pop off

#

i tanked highmaul on warrior

limber lion
#

I've killed the Unmaker, Argus. The Titan of Death.

pallid spear
#

Raids in general in WoD were insane

onyx wind

warrior tank in WoD

limber lion

Next week I die to a pig

#

Fun

icy crater
#

lmao

spice spire

🙂

onyx wind
#

then u went gladiator shit

#

was a banger

icy crater
#

tbh I'll always remember porting into argus' room the first time having not seen the boss before

pallid spear
#

and then they removed it because they werent able to balance it D:

icy crater
#

it looked so damn good

final star
limber lion
#

Argus was such a good fight

#

It's up there for me for sure.

icy crater
#

absolutely

final star
#

Gul'dan is my favourite fight I've ever progged still

#

Whole of NH was chefkiss

limber lion

Gul'dan was sick af as well for sure

icy crater
#

imperator was so fun

onyx wind
#

gul'dan was nice yea

final star
#

Especially as a rogue on gul'dan

icy crater
#

a really nice end boss

limber lion

Seeing Illidan come down the first time was so pog

onyx wind
#

i miss NH

pallid spear
#

I love Star Augur and Blackhand

final star
#

Where you had personal responsibility

limber lion
#

I was waiting for something similar with Garrosh on Sire

onyx wind
#

star augur is def up there for me aswell

limber lion
#

But nothing ever happened 😢

icy crater
#

never progged NH, quit and came back after, are you seeing a trend? 🙂

final star
#

NH was honestly immaculate

onyx wind
#

i miss when they made x.0.5 raids

final star
#

Elisande fight was so unique

onyx wind
#

trial of valor was actually good

final star
#

The chosen when ToV was relevant content

icy crater
#

Can someone explain why faction champs in togc was so hated

#

I never understood

pallid spear
#

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

final star

When the Monk tank taunted Guam during charge >>>>>>>

HAHAH

then there was helya

a fight legit designed for DH's

meanwhile this raid sucks ass

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...

silent tinsel

Council sucks

final star

Council stinks

regal iron

new to assa, which missives for doomblade on hands?

final star
#

Worst fight in raid after sun King

onyx wind
#

sludgefist and artificer are the only fun fights for me

icy crater

arti is budget council

onyx wind

and artificer is only fun without dps stop

final star
#

I like huntsman

icy crater

???

onyx wind
#

hunstman AKA lootship

icy crater
#

I like target dummies too but like

#

we're talking about bosses xd

final star
#

Huntsman fun

onyx wind
#

but those fights are not target dummies

silent tinsel
#

3 intermissions and immune shields the fight

final star
#

I will die on this hill

onyx wind
#

it feels like ur DPS matters and there is individual responsibility

icy crater
#

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

onyx wind
#

sure but the fight is kinda fun to play

final star
#

I was entrance seed

#

As outlaw

#

It was not a fun fight

#

It literally made me stop raiding

pallid spear

LEts talk about Uunat

thats a nice boss to talk about 🙂

then u go play assa

blizzard say no

#

zul? no no

icy crater

sub always gets fucked

#

its pretty sad tbh

onyx wind
#

saddest part was

willow isle
#

Any tips how to open as a necro assa? With subterfuge

onyx wind
#

assa was really fun to play with Shrouded and exsang

gentle gyro
#

bonus points, there was a rogue in the group, outlaw

onyx wind
#

got rank1 in mythic back then

gentle gyro
#

and he flamed me for not doing enough dps in p1

silent tinsel

Outlaw was screwed hard with the launch of EN

onyx wind
#

b-b-but ilgynoth

gentle gyro
#

and i was the living incarnation of "?????????????????"

onyx wind
#

dude u have to pad in p1 if u want good logs

icy crater
#

its hard to pad, the adds die fucking instantly I swear

onyx wind
#

also almost like

#

every fight in this tier

#

as melee

#

logs dont matter

icy crater
#

mythic prob live a bit longer

#

Why do you open with Mutilate instead of Ambush from stealth opener?

icy crater
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

onyx wind
#

inerva and sludge are like the only fights where logs are accurate

#

maybe shriek and huntsman but who cares abt those

icy crater
#

fucking pog champion let me tell you

onyx wind
#

beams = ranged mechanic 😎

icy crater
#

I swear i raged so hard on reclear this week

#

because of that

arctic juniper
#

Why do you open with Mutilate instead of Ambush from stealth opener?

Ambush DMG is higher, no?

icy crater
#

are you blind?

onyx wind
#

Yes

#

its because of increaased proc chance on alacrity

#

and blindside if you run that

keen tapir
#

ambush big dam silenceheathen

onyx wind
#

ambush does more damage

#

its other factors that make mut better

icy crater
#

rerolled covs last night, hopefully blizz lets me get 30 by tuesday

arctic juniper
#

Oh okay so alacrity grants stackable haste.

keen tapir
#

peepoguns going venth?

onyx wind
#

Yes, and the % proc chance depends on combo points

icy crater
#

ye, I was so fucking close to going necro

#

but decided venth

onyx wind
#

So getting a stack on the first SnD is a higher chance with mutilate

keen tapir
#

necro seems better if you want to do more than raid log

arctic juniper
#

Dmg between necro and venthyr is minimum, no?

icy crater
#

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

keen tapir
onyx wind
#

dmg between necro and venthyr is there

#

just very subjective

icy crater
#

and outlaw ST/burrs is pretty close

onyx wind
#

some people think 2% is a lot, some people think its not

icy crater
#

so I'm only losing sustained cleave really on outlaw, which I can live with

onyx wind
keen tapir
#

fair point @icy crater

onyx wind
#

uhh

icy crater
#

remornia padding 😄

slender urchin
#

Doesn’t remornia share health with den

onyx wind
#

would be nice to see 2 target 5 min sims

#

instead of 3 and 5

lofty shell
#

which is why u wanna cleave remornia

onyx wind
#

since 2 is a lot more realistic

icy crater
#

idk by how much tho

onyx wind
#

simming 3 target 5 minutes is basically as biased for necro

#

as simming 24 seconds for venthyr is

slender urchin
#

Three more largeish upgrades

#

Even bigger if my cursed box treats me to 226s

limber lion
gentle gyro
#

TIL "stop damage" translates to "use your combust" in mage-speak

heavy jolt
#

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

late bolt
onyx wind
#

i usually vendetta earlier than that if i dont have lust

icy crater
#

DS or Vigor

heavy jolt
#

ah, we're working sludgefist so it seems slower. i have been using vendetta earlier

#

DS with 22% haste, necrolord

icy crater
#

gotcha

onyx wind
#

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

heavy jolt
#

ok i'll give something like that a try tonight.

onyx wind
#

on sludge mythic**

#

with lust on 4th pillar

heavy jolt
#

yeah we're doing that too.

onyx wind
#

i shiv early aswell to make it line up for stomps before first pillar

heavy jolt
#

do you get a 2nd one in before first pillar or hold?

onyx wind
#

yea

#

let me check

lofty shell
onyx wind
#

i tried doing it and it seems worse

#

since ur shiv lines up worse for pillar

#

and stomps

icy crater
#

you also just lose shiv casts

#

over the fight

onyx wind
#

not really on mythic no

lofty shell
#

makes sense

onyx wind
#

but in general sure

lofty shell
#

but you lose potential value / shiv

icy crater
#

in general i meant

lofty shell
#

but i guess its not enough to lose like a full cp envenom in shiv window

onyx wind
#

you lose value of first shiv to get a lot more from 2nd and 3rd

#

3rd being pillar one

lofty shell
#

prob makes sense timing wise

#

ive only done hc sludge with assa like once

#

not even there on mythic so

onyx wind
#

hc and mythic are very different i think

#

in how you play them

heavy jolt
#

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

humble leaf
#

hey is the cov to go for any spec of rogue venthyr necro or does it not matter still?

onyx wind
#

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

lofty shell
#

felt bad

onyx wind
#

when you play that out 100 times, u start making changes XD

lofty shell
#

for any spec

onyx wind
#

u mean venthyr right?

lofty shell
#

all except kyrian is what i mean

onyx wind
#

oh i misread

humble leaf
#

sooooooooooooooo if i wanna get the most out of my sub rogue

#

what cov do i need to go now

limber lion
#

But probably Venthyr

humble leaf
#

is currently dead

lofty shell
#

not rlly sure for sub may also depend on pvp / pve focus

humble leaf
#

thank you though

heavy jolt
#

@onyx wind thanks for the info

limber lion
#

There's the pins

#

You can read the pins for relevant sims

lofty shell
#

ye prob venthyr until they change flag like they did for reverb (if pvp matters)

humble leaf
#

i like the consult the general alive people before past messages

icy crater
#

they already nerfed it in pvp no?

lofty shell
#

oh possibly

#

for questions about sub tho, fuu is probably one of the best sources of info

icy crater

fuu literally responded to him in sub

and im also just looking for a straight answer

^u want crit>=haste>vers>=mastery

#

vers falls off quite fast

patent garden
#

ty ^^

mighty owl
#

You want whatever the sims tell you

onyx wind
#

which is crit>=haste>vers>=mastery

mighty owl
#

Which varies depending on your current gear

onyx wind
#

which is why you want overall guidelines

#

so you dont gear for a stat such as vers

lofty shell
#

ye crit is actually pretty good for assa

#

need to get rid of my vers enchants and gems

onyx wind
#

(its the best)

#

but its also really hard to get a lot of crit

lofty shell
#

guess you want that 1 big crit neck

#

from SD?

onyx wind
#

or that u feel like u did well on

spice spire
worn pilot
hollow escarp
onyx wind
#

And also makes it hard to parse well

spice spire
#

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

hollow escarp
#

you can parse with Sepsis

#

trust me

onyx wind
#

i didnt say impossible

#

just harder

hollow escarp
#

for sure

onyx wind
#

:P

frosty bridge
#

I dont think being venthyr makes it that hard to parse well lel

limber lion
#

NF is actually giga on Shriek/Sludge

spice spire
#

The sepsis explosion on pillar peepostudy

hollow escarp
limber lion
hollow escarp
#

also good on Sun King shield if you time it right

limber lion
#

That's how you get those juicy 50k+ Envenom's

onyx wind
onyx wind
#

Also you refresh bleeds in shiv sometimes, which isnt inherently that bad

#

just try to avoid it

#

and plan ahead

lofty shell
#

does pressing vendetta while stealth unstealth u?

onyx wind
#

you cast rupture in shiv A LOT

hollow escarp
#

haven't tried it in a while so I couldn't even answer that lol

spice spire
#

I also forgot the garrote cast, so after your rupture you’d want to garrote > Mut > sepsis > Shiv/vendetta> envenom

lofty shell
#

jus twondering cuz AR does get u out of stealth lol

spice spire
worn pilot
#

So are you wanting to try and just envenom during shiv?

limber lion
onyx wind
#

Also more specifically in this fight

limber lion
#

You just put Vendetta on them but don't actually open

hollow escarp
#

yeah, get as many envenoms in the shiv window

limber lion
#

Just run ahead

onyx wind
#

U arent putting up bleeds on the adds

limber lion
#

He'll stop for 20s waiting for you to open

#

But you never do

dull cloak
#

isnt burrs still really good damagr in st

spice spire
#

Mind games with cool downs peophammer

onyx wind
#

unless u just had insane block RNG

#

but yea u pretty much wanna dot anything u can with bleeds

lofty shell
hollow escarp
#

damn, it's so annoying to hold vendetta for a few seconds while dotting up the ads

limber lion
worn pilot
#

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?

onyx wind
#

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

hollow escarp
#

the small adds die fast so you can throw a 3 cp rupture, but the big ad is worth dotting hard

onyx wind
#

but i was rupturing adds as sub so

#

i figure u also do it as assa

hollow escarp
#

for sure

#

it's free damage

#

just like traps on xymox

onyx wind
#

@worn pilot Also try to keep poisons up on the adds

#

otherwise ur bleeds are basically useless

lofty shell
worn pilot
#

Yea that was one thing I did figure out myself was to cast the aoe button. When the addds pop to apply poisons

hollow escarp
#

hey, some humans forget they already used thei racial

onyx wind
#

its a higher chance to apply poisons and deals more damage

hollow escarp
#

mutilate also leaves the doomblade bleed if you play the lego

onyx wind
#

how to parse on xymox = assign people to walk into traps and cleave them

#

and yes, people actually do this

hollow escarp
#

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 OMEGALUL

#

and we wiped at 360k hp

worn pilot
#

Gotcha well thanks for the pointers guys! Hopefully I can start doing better. Sin has definitely been a big change from sub.

dull cloak
hollow escarp
#

I know but ghost spawned after I placed portal and on the other side were the seeds

#

so the ghost spawned on the portal

wild glacier
#

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

onyx wind
#

rip

spice spire
#

Scooby doo-ing the ghosts next time

hollow escarp
#

that was worth the cloak, not first ghost

spice spire
#

!Bs

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
Showcase Video: #assassination message

hollow escarp
#

but I cloaked for damage so I can get another cloak later in the fight

onyx wind
#

i usually cloak first ghosts aswell

upbeat umbra
hollow escarp
#

same, you have to be unlucky to get 2 ghosts in a row

onyx wind
#

so, me

hollow escarp
#

well, me last night as well PepeLaugh

#

pretty nice to be alliance, don't need to use cloak for traps

lofty shell
#

if you run a ton of humans 😛

hollow escarp
#

yeah, we have a bunch

#

and hunters on top of that

lofty shell
#

i generally clear traps with my first cloak

onyx wind
#

why are u doing DK mechanics?

#

bro?

lofty shell
#

unless they are all near ranged

#

idk cuz they're all slacking

hollow escarp
#

having DK's in raid, must be nice

#

that's the downside of playing alliance PepeLaugh

lofty shell

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?

hollow escarp
lofty shell
onyx wind
#

do u play subterfuge or MA?

cold sparrow
#

true forgot to say, MA

#

and no crimson tempest

onyx wind
#

thats what i do aswell

#

just normal opener

#

then then u cast garrote and rupture first chance u get

#

on add

hollow escarp
#

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

upbeat umbra
hollow escarp
#

then just maintain dots

cold sparrow
#

makes sense, thank you!

hollow escarp
#

but I have good tanks and I can play subterfuge concerned_ez

cold sparrow
odd flax
#

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 =]

onyx wind
#

fan of knives has more range

gloomy fern
onyx wind
#

and if ur at like 4 cp it might be better

hollow escarp
#

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

upbeat umbra
#

Might have been out of melee range of the OT and needed to refresh poisons.

cold sparrow
#

I see, thank you all for the answers!

gloomy fern
hollow escarp
#

does it work like that?

gloomy fern
#

yes

hollow escarp

I assumed it drops it there if I cloak

how far behind venthyr is necro? is it viable?

50 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
