i've been liking MoC for that reason

limber lion
#

I need my speed on the occasion

strange python
#

I can tell : )

limber lion
#

it's good to be slow at times, but it feels so weird just sitting there not pressuing anything for 5s

strange python
#

But you’re really skilled and have tons of practice so you got the handle of it

limber lion
#

when there's 15 targets

willow eagle
#

I thought assa is seeing an increase in numbers due to it performing so well on later bosses

limber lion
#

like just staring the mobs down

willow eagle
#

Compared to sub

strange python
#

Yeah you stare at mobs a lot

limber lion
#

But it's still 10 times less popular than Sub

willow eagle
#

Isn't this a 9.0.5 situation tho?

#

Ppl were slow to switch assa

simple stratus
#

I'm sure if assass had better AOE, it would be much more popular this tier

limber lion
#

I'm working my ass off to find apl gains for Assa and now that it's finally ahead of Sub in ST sims, more people will tend to swap to it

#

But community perception is what it is

#

All streamers play Sub

#

everyone flames Assa

strange python
#

My raid lead said assa is shit :”(

#

just play sub

limber lion
#

Dratnos said "yeah I should have placed Assa in C or D tier, B is too high" on his tier list video

#

which a lot of casuals look at

#

and take note of

strange python
#

Yeah dratnos xd smh

willow eagle
#

Well some of my guildies started considering assa because of that wowhead dps ranking article

simple stratus
#

they see big black powder numbers on lihuv and anduin

iron orchid
limber lion
iron orchid
#

wrong reply

limber lion
#

Sub is the worst spec in the entire game for Anduin

iron orchid
#

bruh

craggy oak
limber lion
#

Which causes its overall rank to go down a shit ton

glass tulip
limber lion
#

Which in turn gives Assa more space to climb ranks

limber lion
#

The WCL statistics are just butchered

strange python
#

Inflated from anduin aoe

willow eagle
#

Does assa perform better on anduin?

limber lion
#

No

willow eagle
#

Than sub

limber lion
#

They're both bad

#

I mean, the 2 assa rogues that have killed it

willow eagle
#

Or do we just lack assa logs?

limber lion
#

have done more overall damage, yes

#

but there's literally 2 logs

vestal wren
#

but we have funnel damage copium

limber lion
#

Any assa gamers

willow eagle
strange python
#

Why is ww so low

#

o.O?

iron orchid
limber lion
#

compared to Sub

iron orchid
#

in Heroic

willow eagle
#

Damage to bosses

strange python
#

Ohh

#

My bad

limber lion
#

2 Assa parses on Anduin

iron orchid
limber lion
#

180 Sub parses

#

90 times more Sub parses than Assa

strange python
#

Lmao

simple stratus
#

i started to go back to assass on some fights and its like a warm blanket. im still not sure about a lot of particulars as some stuff feels wrong like using CT single target or sitting on your vendetta for 20 seconds waiting for flag CD to come up

willow eagle
#

Yeah I agree thay wclogs are exceptionally skewed this tier

#

But thay article did help assa pick up some attention

limber lion
#

Like WCL shouldn't look at overall rankings/statistics

willow eagle
#

And possibly a gradual increase

limber lion
#

they should look boss-by-boss

glass tulip
#

boss dam stats are always nice

limber lion
#

But a lot of Assa gamers are also privatelogging

#

So it is what it is

willow eagle
#

I think you will see more and more sin rogues once more guilds arrive in rhygelon and dreadlords

limber lion
#

My guild about to kill Jailer next week

vestal wren
#

90 times more sub parses sounds a lot

limber lion
#

for sure

strange python
#

Are cds on lihuvim giga fucky

willow eagle
#

Sin on dreadlords is a beast

limber lion
#

We finally get to do some mythic reclearing after that

solid venture
vestal wren
#

until you realize that there are only 2 sin parses

limber lion
#

speedkills

glass tulip
limber lion
simple stratus
#

Should I be waiting that long on vend for flag to come off cd? sometimes feels like 20-30 seconds sitting on vend

limber lion
iron orchid
#

check that your leggo is working properly

strange python
#

That’s too long

limber lion
#

You should fix your rotation

simple stratus
#

prob

limber lion
#

Because your Flag should not be that far off

solid venture
limber lion
#

You should be getting 27-30 stacks of Flag every single time

strange python
#

every 👀

limber lion
#

Yes

strange python
#

I’m just bad it’s ok

simple stratus
#

my vend is up, its flag im waiting on

#

so my leggo is fine

craggy oak
#

can honestly say i dont think ive ever hit 30 on sin, 28 is where i live

limber lion
#

We don't have the problem of not having enough energy for Flag windows anymore because of 4p

#

and because we sync them everytime

limber lion
iron orchid
willow eagle
#

Mfd helps you reach 30 stacks effortlessly

limber lion
#

Here's my opener which should get you to 30 unless you get super unlucky:

Muti - Slice - Muti - AT - Gar - wait 1s - Flag - Rupture - MFD - CT - Vend - Shiv - Vanish - Muti - Env - Muti - Gar - CT - Muti - Muti - Rup

hollow escarp
#

I like to see such close dps on anduin for both parses

limber lion
#

This opener is the same everytime, unless you get omega unlucky with the MA window mutilates or the 2 mutilates after CT

solid venture
#

4 pi's though

hollow escarp
#

yeah, but necro

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

ohh true

strange python
#

Wait where’s vanish in there unless I’m missing

iron orchid
glass tulip
solid venture
hollow escarp
#

tbf, fairies does nothing for assa venthyr

#

since you hold vendetta anyway

strange python
#

I’ve been building to 5 with shiv and then vanish envenoming 🤔

limber lion
vestal wren
#

seli also got 4 times fairies

limber lion
hollow escarp
craggy oak
#

why are you waiting 1 sec before flag

limber lion
#

where?

fleet anchor
limber lion
#

Oh why am I waiting

glass tulip
#

would fairies get you 2 vendettas on intermission as necro?

fleet anchor
#

WW is so trash even WW players are not playing WW

limber lion
#

Because it allows me to get high stacks more consistently

craggy oak
#

i see

strange python
limber lion
#

Which means more overall sync possibilities

#

and less waiting between cds

craggy oak
#

i dont have that 1 sec delay, will try it

limber lion
#

It's not anything giga

#

dw

craggy oak
#

if its better its better

ebon notch
#

ok this fok buff

#

im doing too much damage to lost souls

#

i just want the combo points bruh

simple stratus
#

take off your poisons 4hed

glass tulip
#

how are fastest kills on lihuvim killing him in under 5 minutes?

limber lion
#

because you definitely don't on Mythic

#

fastest mythic kill is 7:24

#

but yeah, you just blast on heroic idk

fleet anchor
#

That feel when Anduin numbers are so inflated that 27k is still in a 3 way tie for 2nd worst in the raid 🤣

glass tulip
limber lion
glass tulip
#

am bad at reading

limber lion
#

:)

glass tulip
#

didnt see H/M toggle

#

and was very concerned

#

was just checking vendetta timings to see if other people were squeezing their cds in before 2nd synthesize

fleet anchor
#

How to get a parse on Lihuvim--bribe your Hunters not to press Wild Spirits on the small adds

limber lion
#

go ham

#

ignore adds

fleet anchor
#

😛

limber lion
#

:')

glass tulip
#

well I pretty much had my CT rolling and even an axe proc

#

our adds were still dying dangerously slow

solid venture
#

cache axe bleeds and fok > ct spam Copege

limber lion
strange python
#

Cding first schematic feels really troll

limber lion
#

But I don't use cds on adds personally, might be different for you if you have to

glass tulip
#

I don't either, just made our druid convoke them with PI'd MM hunters

#

we killed last night so onto crab today

fleet anchor
# limber lion Nah just blast boss

That only really works because most of the Assassination parses are doing that so it's mostly a fair fight. Some log will come along to make life difficult someday. 😛

#

Sub was mostly in the same boat until some guy came along with a 17k parse with 2m add pad damage lol

glass tulip
#

I ended at 13k after our destros and SVs, felt pretty good about it

solid venture
#

F's in the chat boys i gotta play this fucking boss

limber lion
#

rip Dwaas

fleet anchor
#

RIP

strange python

I’m most def sitting that lol

Unlucky dwaas

fleet anchor
#

We were discussing in officer chat last night about comp and people were like "feel bad we can't work you in" and I'm like "don't even apologize man, I know Rogue is bottom spec on this dumb fight" lol

glass tulip
#

private madge

limber lion
#

Yeah

glass tulip
#

cant be added to log watching folder

limber lion
#

Anduin was the fight I was happy to be benched on

solid venture
strange python
#

Anduin cool fight i just don’t do anything lol

#

comparatively speaking

fleet anchor
#

I'm not sad to be benched on it. I've never liked the fight, it's my least favorite in the tier. It's just random mechanical soup. lol

strange python
#

Prob@my fav fight now that crab is toast

#

That’s pantheon man

fleet anchor
#

Pantheon is my second least favorite fight

limber lion
#

I do enjoy Anduin

vestal wren
limber lion
#

but they made Pantheon terrible

#

kinda sad

#

looked like a cool fight

vestal wren
#

was about to mention pantheon

strange python
#

Panth heroic was fun

limber lion
#

turned out to be awful

strange python
#

I enjoyed panth heroic a lot

glass tulip
#

mechanics vomit and constantly bleeding out, very pog

craggy oak
#

is the correct answer, when being asked to do more dmg to adds on rygelon as sin rogue - "fuck off"

glass tulip
#

yeah p much

limber lion
#

Yes.

craggy oak
#

ye

#

nice

limber lion
#

even as a Sub rogue

fleet anchor
#

yeah Pantheon is definitely a poster child for mechanical vomit

#

No rhyme or reason to the fight in practice. Probably sounds cool when looking at the dungeon journal.

strange python
#

I can’t bring myself to hate pantheon even if I’m assigned to a single add and can’t hit bosses xd

vestal wren
#

the fight sounds a lot more complex than he is

strange python
#

Heroic was too fun

vestal wren
#

if you read the dungeon journal

fleet anchor
#

Fight in practice "just AoE LOL"

limber lion
#

The Night Hunter mechanic is just annoying

fleet anchor
#

I think the idea of the pantheon would have been more neat if we didn't already fight Sire?

strange python
#

I think the fact that it’s a throwback makes it cooler

#

But idk

#

Everyone likes sore

vestal wren
#

it would probably be a neat fight if you had more distinctive single covenant phases

strange python
#

Sire

vestal wren
#

instead of the 2-2-4

fleet anchor
#

The Sire copy and paste mechanics are probably the worst aspects of the fight. Night Hunter and grip are and ticking damage from Sire are like 99% of the difficulty of the fight.

strange python
#

night hunter is bad I agree

fleet anchor
#

All the other mechanics are actually totally whatever

#

If you deleted Sire from the fight as it's currently designed it'd basically just be a target dummy lol

strange python
#

What if they made it so that you had to soak the frontal like nathria instead

#

Ig not much different lol

fleet anchor
#

It's no wonder Kyrestia got owned so hard when she only has the abilities of a random dungeon boss

glass tulip

glass tulip

kindred heron
#

Yeah if youre not BloodElf thats another "wait one second"

fleet anchor
#

Although I do find it amusing they basically just gave Kyrestia all of Devos' abilities for some reason.

#

Surprised they didn't make us throw a spear at her 🤣

strange python
#

Lol imagine

vestal wren
#

don't give them ideas

strange python
#

kinda sadge I won’t be able to experience difficult halondrus

flint raptor
gray horizon
#

im finally geared enough to switch to CT again yay

#

I feel like I'm back in Nyalotha

#

4p is basically just exsang

flint raptor
gray horizon
#

yeee

arctic venture
#

guys silly question, keep the buffs, rup, garrote and CT is more important than finish with envenon, right?

vestal wren
strange python
#

Yeah agree

#

we were starting it this week

#

Narrowly missed it

fleet anchor
strange python
#

It was even faster ??

gray horizon
#

haha yeahhhhh

strange python
gray horizon
flint raptor
#

400% haste procc? Ready to Exang

#

😄

gray horizon
#

nyalotha was insane

strange python
#

@.@ oh god

limber lion
strange python
#

That sounds hectic

gray horizon
#

I took a super long break so just gearing back up, i'm only like 255

strange python
gray horizon
#

dang apparently my guild couldn't even get halondrus down last night after the nerf so rip them

gusty mirage
#

2nd intermission is a bit tricky and P3 is still a bit rough

#

But they’ll get it, it’s just getting comfy with that walking phase and then making sure motes don’t hit

#

Tell them to channel their inner Patrick Roy

#

Bomb changes mean you only have to hand them off 2 maybe 3 times before boss is dead. Literally only thing that can wipe you in p3 is motes

gray horizon
#

i haven't tried any of the fights in mythic yet but I'm a big fan of the crab on heroic

gusty mirage
#

Yeah halondrus is a sick fight

trim cairn
#

They nerfed halo on HC too?

gray horizon
#

reminds me of a dragoon from starcraft

fleet anchor
#

DP DoT in the Nyalotha log on the left was only 4.3%

limber lion
#

All abilities actually doing proper damage

#

not dominated by a single ability

bleak sky
gray horizon
#

That garrote dmg...

vestal wren
#

current sin rotation is far diffrent with the low vendetta cycles

#

from the traditional one

ebon notch
#

blizz its too strong

#

nerf it

fleet anchor
gray horizon
#

Agreed

limber lion
#

I don't understand why everyone likes Envenom

fleet anchor
#

I mean Envenom is shit. That's my point. 😛

trim cairn
limber lion
#

It's literally a filler ability

#

It does nothing

#

We press it when we have nothing better to do

obtuse robin
#

whos rolling a tuaren rogue in 10.0?

trim cairn
#

It hits harder than full mastery Sub Evis

#

xD

limber lion
#

Like it's the VERY LAST thing on the priority list

trim cairn
#

Sub evis tickling meanwhile envenom slaps

#

😄

fleet anchor
#

Having filler spender that doesn't do anything once DoTs are up is why things like increased CP gain (say via Kyrian as mentioned above) doesn't actually do anything

limber lion
#

it's literally a filler ability

#

Like I wouldn't mind seeing a proper finisher that does deeps

#

but Envenom aint it

#

A filler finisher ain't it

#

Would rather have a button that does increasing damage the more bleeds we have on the target with a slight cooldown

trim cairn
#

What change would you make to Envenom to make it slap for you?

limber lion
#

Nothing

obtuse robin
#

so a symbols

limber lion
#

It's a filler ability

oak sky
#

Poison bomb rework prayge

limber lion
#

By design it is always shit

#

Even if it did 13207895347805078 damage

fleet anchor
limber lion
#

it's still a filler ability

trim cairn
#

I mean shit if it did that much damager

gray horizon
#

I've always pictured sin as a poison based class, so bleeds are kinda boring for me. So if they made envenom awesome i'd be so for that

limber lion
trim cairn
#

Your rotation would be a filler for Envenom

limber lion
#

Because there's no cooldown

oak sky
#

Cd makes it not filler

gray horizon
#

even tho what's the difference between a poison and a bleed technically

limber lion
#

It's a button that you press when you have nothing else to do

#

When none of the actual good buttons don't do anything

#

then you press Envenom

#

It's not a choice

fleet anchor
#

I mean CD is kinda pointless, means they'd just have to add a ANOTHER finisher which with CT is kinda too much

limber lion
#

You don't make the choice to press Envenom

#

You press it because there's nothing else to do

fleet anchor
#

The point would be to make it scale on Bleeds to give some payoff once you have things ramped

#

Rather than just being wet noodle all the time

hexed root
#

so

gray horizon
#

that would be cool

limber lion
#

I'm glad Envenom is the way it is currently

gray horizon
#

enemy is bleeding all over

limber lion
#

Actually makes sense now

gray horizon
#

now rub some poison in them

hexed root
#

who is gonna race change to tauren rogue when it comes out?

#

pretty sure I'm gonna

limber lion
#

Never

fleet anchor
#

Right now it's basically like negative ramp. You get your stuff up then what you do doesn't really matter at all because bleeds and AAs are like 90% of your damage.

#

Which is why stuff like Kyrian has no hope of being useful

limber lion
#

Yeah and that's the beauty of assassination

fleet anchor
#

Or even non-hasted energy regen also becomes useless

limber lion
#

A spec that revolves around maintenance

fleet anchor
#

Haste is good because it scales DoTs

limber lion
#

not big chunky finishers

fleet anchor
#

But regen itself is actually useless

limber lion
#

Sub should be the spec with big chunky finishers

#

not Assa

obtuse robin
#

what sould pirate be

gray horizon
#

gone

limber lion
#

This iteration is literally the best Assa has been since Legion ( - poison bomb)

gray horizon
#

i loved 8.3 rogue

#

sin*

limber lion
oak sky
#

Pirate should have 5 rtb rolls that actually matter

#

Maybe different roll logic in different situations

trim cairn
#

Compared to Envenom

#

I always said that idk how Sub's mastery can be increasing the damage of finishing moves

#

Yet the finishers do less than Envenom with shit gear

limber lion
#

Like I said in the reply

fleet anchor
#

I mean I'm not really saying Envenom has to hit like a truck but honestly I think boosting it with bleeds via a Doomblade mechanic would be better payoff for the spec and lead to more flexibility with fight mechanics that ramp resource gain, or cleave/funnel situations where you have high VW regen.

limber lion
#

Sub should be the spec with the chunky finishers

limber lion
#

It's just another passive damage slapped on top

fleet anchor
#

The value of multi-DoT right now is in theory "infinite" energy, but there's really nothing useful to spend that energy on so it's largely pointless

fleet anchor
#

Assassination has a real issue with not being able to do anything useful with excess resources

limber lion
#

Yeah I agree.

fleet anchor
#

And largely that's because they have to tune Envenom low so Rupture's DPET is clearly superior

trim cairn
#

If they changed 4pc to not reduce duration

granite widget
#

easy just give sin red powder

trim cairn
#

But keep the tick rate on bleeds

fleet anchor
#

I don't really think a situation where CT is actually better than Envenom in ST speaks very well for Envenom lol

granite widget
#

or red black powder

limber lion
#

I just don't want Assassination to revolve around a boring filler ability like Envenom. The current Assa is much more complex and rewarding compared to the 9.0 Assa that can slap any button in any order and still do 90-100% the max damage.

#

And that's great

#

But honestly, Assa could use a rework one day

#

but that's probs not happening any time soon

#

Or well, we don't really know what the new talent trees might entail, they might change things up a bit

obtuse robin
#

yea they did say combinations we never coudl do b4 we can in 10.0

oak sky
#

Hoping for cool new toys mixed with our solid core in the talent rework

#

That would be nice

trim cairn
obtuse robin
#

we wil lsee based on feedback

limber lion
#

Sepsis in talent tree

oak sky
#

No

trim cairn
#

In the interview I thought they said they couldn't avoid cookie cutter builds but that is why they separate throughput talents into the spec tree with utility talents kept on the class tree

bleak sky
#

Sepsis gone and forever removed from the game

granite widget
#

smoke bomb comes back

#

warriors in shambles

limber lion
#

explain

#

immediately.

bleak sky
limber lion
#

?????

oak sky
trim cairn
obtuse robin
#

if smoke bomb doesnt make it back in 10.0 then we will never see it again

oak sky
#

We could get something but i kinda doubt its smoke bomb

fleet anchor
#

I'd give it a good 90% chance

#

It's honestly a slam dunk to fill out the tree

obtuse robin
#

90% chance from the math guy

#

my pp is happy

limber lion
#

2 new poisons, which will allow you to swap between the monk or dh buff

oak sky
#

Ive said it forever i think smoke bomb would be boring

limber lion
gray horizon
#

droppin smoke bombs for Thok all day

obtuse robin
#

lol

ebon notch
#

i want combat shroud

obtuse robin
#

yea what was our dmg raid buff i forget

bleak sky
obtuse robin
#

armor something?

oak sky
#

Expose armor

#

?

#

That would be dumb just another monk debuff

obtuse robin
#

make it armor pen

oak sky
#

Its all the same shit

obtuse robin
#

sametyhing i guess

#

lol

oak sky
#

Boring damage buff

spice spire
#

Tauren rogues yejoice

oak sky
#

Imo we should either get something brand new and unique or nothing

obtuse robin
#

i like cevs idea so ur not forced to bring any of those classes

spice spire
#

Amen

fleet anchor
#

I mean

#

I don't really care if it's boring

oak sky
#

I stg if i was one of the interviewers i would lay put why we need cross faction guilds and make them explain that their dev time is too slow to make it happen

fleet anchor
#

At the end of the day other specs have raid utility that is along similar lines

#

Rally, AMZ, Darkness, whatever

#

Not having "boring" utility just leaves us at a disadvantage

oak sky
#

I mean i dont really want to just be "another amz"

#

Or another dh buff

fleet anchor
#

I honestly don't mind

oak sky
#

I just think its lazy

fleet anchor
#

Buffs don't have to be exciting, they just have to be part of the calculus for how comps are made

#

Anything too niche will either become required or ignorable

gray horizon
#

i dont like having any important roles outside of "do dmg"

fleet anchor
#

Blizzard isn't gonna give us a new version of portals that are 100% required, so

oak sky
#

I wouldnt want that at all either

#

The goal wouldnt be to have something broken op and required thats unique

gray horizon
#

make our poisons do something like boss takes 5% dmg from all sources

#

passive dmg boost

#

ez

oak sky
#

Just something special that while not required is just nice to have

trim cairn
obtuse robin
#

cloak now shrouds your entire raid

#

seems fine

oak sky
#

Full raid immunity OMEGAKEKW

#

Yeah that would be totally fine

vast loom
#

"balanced"

gray horizon
#

i dig it

oak sky
#

Definitely not required on every fight in the game

normal mist
#

i want to play tauren rogue

gray horizon
#

could you imagine how large that cloak would have to be

gusty mirage
obtuse robin
#

it would also have to be like a 5 min cd

#

or 10

strange python
#

Once a fight

oak sky
#

Even once a fight

granite widget
#

party only maybe

oak sky
#

That would hard carry certain overlaps

strange python
#

Is huge

#

Yeah

granite widget
#

raid immunity is insane

fleet anchor
#

Like Darkness is basically what Smoke Bomb should have been changed into instead of deleted

drowsy hollow
#

Too bad stomp drs other stuns eh?

oak sky
#

And they would have to hard design around it

strange python
#

Could make dr but immunity is fucked

fleet anchor
#

And Monk buff originally belonged to Rogues

normal mist
fleet anchor
#

So it's really just unfortunate we didn't get either one

normal mist
#

no one expects the tauren rogue

vast loom
#

i think raid wide feint with a bit of a nerf would atleast be equivalent to other raid utility options

drowsy hollow
#

Tauren rogue sounds cool, so does lightforged Draenei

vast loom
#

i say get rid of class restrictions at all 🙂

#

if a gnome can be a warrior a tauren can be a rogue

normal mist
#

^

#

YES

vestal wren
#

same with wl meta

vast loom
#

i do think every DPS needs some raid utility since balance has never taken raid buffs into account really

oak sky
#

Ye because it would make the mages cry

vestal wren
#

it probably is a better approach to spread raid utility out more

#

to have multiple classes provide the same

vast loom
#

yeah thats my ideal

vestal wren
#

so its less unique, but opens up more raid compositions

vast loom
#

like give monk,rogue,warr all "mystic touch"

oak sky
#

All the raid buffs they could ever want already exist so theres really only room for unique utility

vast loom
#

i also think some classes just get too many utility things like warr and dh have a raid cd and a raid buff

trim cairn
oak sky
#

Honestly i think its a crime that dh and warrior have rally and darkness when they already have raid buffs yeah

trim cairn
#

Back in cata and mop if I recall

like DK is perfect

#

okay dps

vestal wren
#

warrior also has execute

vast loom
#

with a single raid CD

oak sky
#

Other than amz sucking yes

vestal wren
#

and good aoe

oak sky
#

Dk also has grips dont forget it

vast loom
#

the balance of amz is another isseu lol

oak sky
#

Grip is a great piece of raid utility

#

Unique

#

Not broken

#

Strong in the right situation

vast loom
#

yeah agreed

oak sky
#

Amz is just weak but its also good

#

Rogue has an immune and numbing poison and hunter has an immune and binding shot

open lion
#

so ass rogues re tearing me up im sub, but you guys dont NEED a sylv dagger at all? o.O

oak sky
#

Which is great until you realize mage and pally have immunes as well

vast loom
#

hunter also has lust and all the pet utility

oak sky
#

Lust is barely a raid buff tbh

vast loom
#

true

#

but you would never make a raid without one

oak sky
#

You would also never make a raid without a mage

#

So it doesnt matter

vast loom
#

false! lords would like to have a word

#

atleast RWF lords lol

#

i think lust needs to be moved to like a extra action button in all content or some shit

oak sky
#

Why would they do that

#

They can just make drums better instead

vast loom
#

yeah i guess that works too lol

Those are the correct talents for the build

same as yours but instead i mut evn mut ct then gar etc

Since master assassin procs off of your initial stealth and vanish, you mutilate envenom mutilate both of those times for the higher CP generation

On 2 targets for sure

gusty adder
#

how do you CD on xymox? vendetta seems to come up JUST as 1st intermission is comming

#

do you pop on adds or save for boss

#

(im in no platform grp btw)

#

just seems wasteful both holding CDs and popping on an add I guess

#

so I guess im asking: which is the better of the two:b

limber lion
#

Either is fine. I popped them on one of the acolytes to help with killing em and the cds lined up very well after that

#

But if you're not doing platforms or anything, then saving it is just fine

gusty adder
#

Alright, will do then

it depends on the rest of ur gear

All slots are close in output.
The best non tier slots across all specs are Belt or Wrists.
The best possible slot is likely Hands, Legs or Head.
Use a simulation to evaluate for your gear situation.

question: Is envenom ever only used as filler finisher if enemy has CT+Rupture+Garrote already ticking?

#

or are there cases where u can use envenom as finisher even without bleeds ticking on enemy?

balmy condor
#

you would use it to maintain slice

#

but otherwise no

#

just a filler

limber lion
worn panther
#

Slice uptime? otherwise bleeds are prio

limber lion
#

In m+ when mobs are dying, you'd want to use Envenom more instead of reapplying dots that wouldn't get full value

#

But even then you want to maintain dots

Explanation of snapshotting

Bleeds update their tick rate dynamically, which means that if you get a haste proc (which increases our tick rate) from somewhere during the encounter (ie. Flagellation, Euphoria), the bleeds would automatically tick faster, but the second your haste goes back to normal, the tick rate goes back down as well.

Snapshotting refers to getting that haste proc, reapplying bleeds at the faster tick rate, but instead of the bleeds going back to a slower tick rate when your haste drops, they would continue ticking at a faster rate until they expire or are reapplied.

why do ppl vanish there in the opener?

frigid sleet
#

to gain advantage of this talent

small drift
#

oh true haha i was looking at old talent recommendations without master assassin thats why i wondered

#

also isn't ambush a thing at all for opening / in general from stealth?

vast loom
#

nope not with MA cuz of extra combo points

balmy condor
#

not with MA on venth

vast loom
#

maybe open world?

#

to 1shot shit better

balmy condor
#

minmaxing world quests

small drift
#

ah true mutilate has that extra cps on crits

#

and how many stacks on flag should you usually hit as assa?

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

more than 20

small drift
#

but can you consistently hit 30 when playing correct?

vast loom
#

atleast 25

#

sometimes 30

#

is my typical

bleak sky
#

because mutilate crits

small drift
#

ok ty guys. last one for today: whats usually higher prio when playing the vent st build, refreshing bleeds (including crimson) or envenom and do those prios change in shiv / vendetta windows?

bleak sky
#

keep snd up > keep bleeds up

brazen zodiac

keep minalba in dms

envenom is just a filler / keep snd up ability

cyan kite

I have a plater profile but I'd like a weak aura too so I can have it in a static spot on my screen

onyx rain
#

id love a pantheon WA that shows dots

ebon notch
#

One is the easiest ways to do it is to have the nameplate change colour if you have a certain dot on it

#

For example it turns blue when you have rupture up

#

And it will change colour if it falls off

onyx rain
#

for pantheon - no way its realistic to maintain garrote and rupture on all 4 in p3 right?

#

(mythic)

timid cloud
#

You could.

#

Along with CT.

onyx rain
#

seems like a lot

timid cloud
#

You FOK 3 targets anyways.

onyx rain
#

mmm true

timid cloud
#

So it’s a chance at a full 5 CP, & you go deeper strat.

onyx rain
#

so its fok / dot in p3

timid cloud
#

Along with Zold

#

For prog, I think Cev said Dusk for faster kills.

onyx rain
#

yea im running that rn

#

its our first night on them

#

so not sure we'll se p3

timid cloud

Might be worth it to run Dusk then if you’re not gonna touch P3.

also cloak didnt clear my bomb debuff

#

I thought it did that

tired falcon
#

i would assume it only immune the dmg

balmy condor
#

Immunes the damage

#

You should use cloak to drop the dispel puddle cause your dipshit ass healers don’t do it

dense herald
#

Mmm you can hold the bomb 30s, drop it then pick it up again with cloak and run the full intermission

glass tulip
#

tried it twice, didnt seem to work

still had the 1000% increased damage taken

u guys played any assa in keys? ive been doing a few keys as venth for giga boss dmg and it seems pretty fine

but im not sure if the snapshotting build is the best for m+, you guys think necro is better or?

zinc frost
#

If you don’t mind playing MFD in keys it can be decent for assa.

mossy moon
#

Hmm i was already playing MFD as venth, idk if thats int but felt kinda good

#

U think vigor is better?

woeful socket
#

necro ability doesnt cleave to daus cores?

zinc frost

Nah definitely not inting playing MFD with venth. At the end of the day you are gonna want to play assa for big boss dmg prio dmg

glass tulip
#

Night 1 we hit 2nd reclaim with deaths

drifting cloud
#

yeah youll skip it with no deaths

oak sky
#

Yep

bleak sky
#

to solo you let the bomb almost explode on the ground, cloak and pick it up

#

cloak should last until the 1000% debuff is gone and then you're good

glass tulip
#

oh I understand

#

so it only requires a couple seconds of healing but still you need to let it sit the entire duration

#

yeah nah we worked it out

bleak sky
#

jank stuff not worth

glass tulip

he just drops for me at beginning of the run and I can carry it all the way to the 2nd room

you only need to do 1 switch in intermissions

white gull

!sigil

gilded seal
#

Can the charge exposure debuff be negated by cloaking before picking up a bomb before the debuff expires?

#

Or will you still get blasted

glass tulip
#

it does not negate the debuff

#

talked about it like 8 lines up when I asked too lol

glass junco
#

Be like me, watch streams and sims, know perfectly well that assa is slow as a spec, craft legendary at 291 while you dont have too much cosmic flux and u are gonna need it for something else, then go to the dummy, play some assa, and complain that the spec is slow

i always thought sub rogues were all kyrian but i noticed dat like 70% of them according to the apldata are venth

#

dats interesting to meman

#

i have to get my renown up with venth anyway for assass

#

im poopy necrolord

timid cloud
#

Kyrian is only really good in ST scenarios.

hybrid vale
#

love the fantasy but i dont think they are really producing high level deeps

timid cloud

Venthyr is a one size fits all.

yep yep, i gotta get renown up

easy enough

#

40-80 is all i have to do i believe

ebon notch
#

Kyrian is night and day compared to venth

#

Love kyrian when I got the rotation down

hybrid vale
#

i think ima wait until i get revered with enlightened before swapping covs, no point really, need revered for all the conduits before i can raid

#

theres something else the zm rep gives u that i need i forget tho, maybe just the leggo dust

ebon notch
#

You can get most of the important ones from heroic raid

hybrid vale
#

this guild i got into wont take me into their ecosystem until i gear up independently

storm belfry
#

what does that even mean

hybrid vale
#

understandable i suppose, i got cutting edge twice in bfa tho thought it would mean somethin

#

but it don't mean diddly

hybrid vale
#

which is fine

ebon notch
#

That's so weird

#

Honestly kind of a red flag too

#

@bleak sky thoughts?

hybrid vale
#

i know but it was really hard getting a guild to take me in this late as is. i got desperate

#

been looking since i returned like for 3 weeks now

ebon notch
#

I mean were your BFA logs good?

hybrid vale
#

ya they didnt care much for it bc they didnt start raiding seriously until slands apparently

#

but i wasn't playing a rogue in bfa too, so maybe that might change your opinion on the matter

ebon notch
#

Nah means nothing

#

There are guilds out there that will respect older logs

#

If you can perform in current HC for example then that would make them more confident

hybrid vale
#

damn, maybe im not looking in the right places then

ebon notch
#

I would keep applying

hybrid vale
#

i was just going thru server discords and forum posts

ebon notch
#

What is your current guild gonna do? Bench you? Kekw

hybrid vale
#

well they just gave me a token invite, im not allowed to trial till i have my conduits, 265 ilvl and tier or something

#

alot of demands

#

i dont mind waiting, im actualy have alot of fun learning by looking thru logs and watching kill povs

#

i like to study raids alot before going at mythic, i never wanna be the guy that's a problem man

#

worst fear

timid cloud
#

Very strange, but understandable.

hybrid vale
#

and i'd be going in this 1 witohut having done it on heroic lol

timid cloud
#

But also, keep seeking other raid teams, because that’s just weird to me.

hybrid vale
#

i will, i kinda just was relieved someone would take me in tbh.

ebon notch
#

Never settle my guy

#

Know your worth

storm belfry
#

yeah thats odd if they take you and sideline you

hybrid vale
#

ikr well

#

they also dont want me playing assass

#

they want me sub

#

like its alot

#

my quick swap plan is to craft finality

#

and get to 80 renown on venth

#

rather than getting kyrian and akari

white gull
#

so many red flags for a guild lol

hybrid vale
#

i just talked to the gm he said that if i get all of my stuff together in 2 weeks they will get me da mythic slyvanis dagger

#

is that standard

#

or is he being nice

ebon notch
#

What is the guild name and region

drifting cloud
#

whats this guilds prog

ebon notch
#

Please

drifting cloud
#

your gm sounds clueless about rogues except DAGGER GOOD for sub

#

assa is literally at worst equal to sub on like 8 fights

#

its just not gonna show in logs for a bit because 95% rogues started tier as sub

hybrid vale
#

they just killed mythic anduin

#

today

#

i dont wanna get doxed, but they are a guild on area 52

drifting cloud
#

and you dont have gear? that means youre not stepping into the raid until after prog most likely

hybrid vale
#

ya 245 ilvl now

#

they're just giving me a chance at a chance basically

#

sorry if it sounded complainy i appreciate that they are
