and unlock it like any other legendary power but account wide
(this means you can if you play a new character also not do the campain but just craft the legendary)
ty fuu
Correct me if Im wrong, we prioritize upkeeping CT outside of shiv, and in shiv window we do as many envenoms as we can

I am too dumb to grasp the idea of pooling
If its not outdated ofc
Pre 9.2 we did but with 4 set we keep up CT at all times including during shiv window
You cannot keep CT up at all times
It’s normally a ~70% uptime
You always prioritise rupture and garrote
I mean.. the question was regarding CT during shiv or envenoms which you should always want uptime on as much as you can, using envenom as filler/snd refresh. The only time it should only drop is normally during vendetta window
Yeah but my understanding is there are situations where you envenom over CT which is the main reason it naturally drops to a 70% uptime 
Just when I was looking at Cevs logs it obviously varied but the handful I looked at were in the 70s
Definitely can do Better then 70. 85 is probably the upper limit
I’m not doubting you can but if you’re in that region it’s at the expensive of other things and cev seems to not think it’s worth
it just comes down to not wanting to forcefully apply CT
At the expense of what though? There’s no reason to not maintain CT as a dot
@limber lion thoughts?
You're looking way too much into it. You just follow normal pandemic rules when it comes to using CT. You do not want to forcefully apply it. If it drops, it drops.
It doesn't really matter if it's 70% or 80%, every encounter and fight is different.
Some Skolex logs I have CT at 85%, some of them are at 72%
It's just so low on the priority list that it doesn't really matter. Things like stacking up for Skolex taking 3s longer than usual will mean that all of your bleeds will have ticked for 3s longer, meaning that your CT has been off the target for longer and you would need to reapply garrote/rupture much earlier than on some other pull.
Resulting in a much lower CT uptime
As long as you don't forcefully reapply it ever and only reapply it when it's either in pandemic or has dropped, then you'll be fine.
Keeping in mind that the priority is:
Slice > Garrote > Rupture > Shiv > Flag > Vend > CT > Envenom
Yeah perfect - just didn’t want people to think that because your logs are at around 70 percent CT on some fights it means you aren’t casting it for some reason and that’s the uptime number to strive for.
Cev is red now again :o

had to ask for a vacation :P
My CT uptime on skolex was also about 87%
to be expected from such a phenomal player keep it up King
Is using CT on ST something that comes with prerequisites, or is it always the go-to?
for the dot, ofc
For venythr it is always the go to
How do you guys open for maximum Flagellation stacks?
Build 5CP > Flag > SnD > MfD > Rupture > Mut for 5 > Env?
do i let them fully expire the last rup/gar after vendetta expire or i can refresh pandemic them?
did you check the pins?
bleeds from vendetta let fall off
Kool thx
godspeed
No Hof for us I don't think we can get jailer down in 1 more raid day 
not with that attitude, i'm sure you all have the gear, just remember boss dies if you all don't die.
During M+ do we rupture and garote every target in a pack or just open with the 3 gar and one rupture then CT the pack down? I read the guides but just curious what others do?
They probably do what the guide says because it’s been shown that spamming CT sucks
And if they don’t do that, they wouldn’t be here, because the circle of people that don’t follow well established theorycrafting and the circle of people who are also in ravenholdt has an incredibly narrow overlap
Got ya. The icyviens guides says word for word to use fan of knives and CT whilr maintaining 3 gar and the prio target rupture.
Im just confused on knowing when to swap from getting bleeds applied to new target and when to fan and spam CT.
U never spam ct... if all targets are dotted u can use an envenom I guess but unlikely u keep dots up on all targets on a decently size pull
So always fill all targets with bleeds before even hitting the first CT?
(With snd up) Gar, gar, gar, rupt, mfd, ct, fok, (fok), rupt.. etc
Prob a crazy question but wtf is mfd
marked for death
Marked for Death, talent row with Vigor and Deeper Strat as other optoins
Got ya. Didnt have it specced so didnt see it
First proper key as Sin this season went pretty well 

Did you guys go left?
After 1st boss
yeah
idk I just really dont like sub in that key
theres so much downtime on the bosses
think sin is the way to go on tyran esp if u go left
Yeah I think it just comes down to how you can pull everything
yeah pretty much
Yup
yo guys
what series do i watch during jailer prog
really need someone to come in clutch rn
im spending literally 50% of the fight between 4-20 seconds of SnD

and 100% uptime on jailer all week
he just spittin facts
ill spit in ur mouth
sheesh
think i'd prefer anything else than a 270 rogue

its definitely looking rough
I'm dreaming of 10.0. Feels so far away. 🤣
I don't want to wipe on this tier any more
what was your best pull so far
Hey, When do you guys play Nadjia over Theotar? theotar is currently simming 90 dps higher than nadjia for me
Always. Theotar sim assumes you never move; so shade uptime is 100%, which is unrealistic in game.
no, in m+ is theotar cause thrill seeker is bad
procs at end of packs, you lose stacks between packs
Ah right
Do you hold cds for thrillseeker or just play like normal?
i just play normal
our ranged need to shape up a little and then we can kill
ye but i mean u guys have done like 2 weeks worth of prog in one week, with people that arent used to playing that much
tend to lose focus more
in those scenarios
ye ik
the prog is definitely there
which is surprising with such an increase in raid time
usually people have to be used to it to actually benefit
yeah its not looking insanely possible but it isnt looking impossible either. if u guys actually manage to snipe this hof its actual goat achiev
gonna feel so nice
i mean atleast then u know u couldnt have gotten it u know and just gotta bow down
its gonna feel less bad that way than if u didnt do additional days and were like "i think we couldve gotten it if we extended"
gl man
uwu
true
it should still be a big WR jump
which none of us expected tbh
considering how fucked our earlier prog was

which one
the razest raz
snazzest raz
Of course.. what are you gonna do ...4k dmg wit poison bomb 10% of the time kekw
pb undertuned
as venythr yes
mmmm i'd hard disagree if we are talking pure single target
i dont make the rules man
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
statistic show the 3 covenant with better success as poison bomb on skolex and halondrus. Pretty sure anyone who brings crimson tempest on those fights just didn't feel like using a tome for 150 dps difference
statistically ct is better... most ppl just are lazy and thus dont play pb
huh
I haven't played Assassination since WoTLK and been back and forth through Outlaw and Sub last expansions. Haven't seen lots of Sin for AoE though, is it competitive with Sub on Mythics too? Or at least better than Outlaw?
hi panda 

wouldn't the lazy thing be to play PB?
no, because outside of those 2 bosses every other encounter has a 2nd or more targets up for a decent portion of the fight which is where crimson tempest will come out ahead
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ayuC9XDfYponjGLzFkyNRj I'm necrolord poison bomb is just better for us in PURE single target
Why Necro?
if you play pure st why are you necro
venthyr is also better than necro overall in the raid
Bone spike is fun
also it's easier to raid lead not worrying about syncing 3-5 abilities
Venom rush is more fun for me
doing good flags and snapshots feels good
well I have no friends, knowing that the homie kevin is by my side warms me up a little
😄
all good and all until he ninjas
Fuck kevin
😳
it'll be gone soon bud
then what will you do for fun

is going to one of our talents in 10.0 
Hey guys, I'm trying to look through my Heroic logs via things like Wipefest and Wowanalyzer, is there a tool that's really helped you improve besides these two? I, of course, also read through the logs themselves, but I'm missing like 3k DPS and idk how to improve, there must be something fundamentally wrong, but I have no idea what it is.
posting ur logs here and letting people rip them apart will do more for u than any website, also wowanalyzer is dog shit
first thing I would check are rupture. garrote, slice n dice, deadly poison uptime you should be able to sustain 95% if not higher of these
next i look at major CD casts ( vendetta, flagellation, vanish, shiv) did you miss a cast of any of these? were they properly synced
also check combo points wasted you effectively can reach 0 shoot for less than 5 wasted per 5 minutes
just change your point of view
people don’t really roast here, most people are really helpful
everyone makes mistakes, if somone else points them out you can improve
unless u shitpost every day then u are subject to getting roasted
the game is easy enough that every1 can do cev level dps with practice
there is nothing wrong with that, and nobody will make fun of you for making a mistake
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/LRPfcyV4FJZna9kb
Ok, here's the last raid (Rygelon is progress and Anduin is an extremely painful rekill)
I won't post today's since it's just 28 wipes on Rygelon and agony.
having a noob moment here... but since when is Garrote usable outside of stealth?
ah I remember that sensation, answer is i dont know, but yes it is
I just want to go outside and tell everyone how amazing that is, but I feel like I just left a cave
usable outside of stealth is a 7.0 change (legion)
^ the specs got reworked at the start of 7.0
funny enough both garrote and ct did exist on other specs too in wod
hey guys, is simming for 2 targets at raidbots reliable? (necro assa for lords)
yes
but 2 target patchwerk does not include the vulnerability phase, and hence might not help you a lot when trying to evaluate lords
yeah this was i thinking about, if its still reliable with these phases :/
and do u know why they are playing marileth/heirmir?
because it does the most damage
yeah I meant some of them are playing marileth and others heimir
if its almost same or why going both
bcs they are close enough where your gameplay matters more
100 dps or whatever out of 22k
and people just defaulted to heirmir since that was the play last season in m+ if you were necro
I see, thank you very much
If you fleshcraft with Merileth can u avoid being feared by puddles on lords?
i would believe so
end my suffering please
its hurts so much
last day tomorrow?
its not the hours
its the lack of prog
i could raid every day if we made progress every day
its when your eyes start glazing over and you're on full auto pilot
thats when it gets too much
eh
the usual
the good stuff is waiting for after we kill

how many pulls are u at now @ebon notch
no flux buy the mats?
260~
is there anyway to get some quick decent daggers or is it just do the raid and hope
226 anit really cutting it Xd
honor and spam M+
m+
any dungeon is specific or nah
ones that drop daggers 🙂
i normally say mists but
is there a better option is what i ment
kinda aids this week
I've got a 262 OH :\ Going to drop the valor tomorrow I think
Still zero luck with vault and have had 3 slots since week 1
only if i was not pepega at pvp Xd time to grind the mythic + i guess
you can farm honor pretty easily
doesnt require skill
what do
what's the best mixed-content cov for assassin?
like if you're just going to do one
for raid & M+
venth
ty
was just looking here and that seems to be the case https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/25/#class=Rogue&spec=Assassination&bracket=15&leaderboards=1
In keys as Necro how do you use the bolts? Do we stick them to the prio target, or tab them out?
mouse over macro is nice for ranged dotting with SBS
!cache
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
@hallow crystal where good daggies >:(
@balmy condor i got some catching up to do
the prodigal son bb
pepoLOVE
my shaman is giga yolked so might as well hard focus rogue now
and uncapped valor so its a party
all the Options coming out to play
wait, sigil channels your fleshcraft for you instantly?
in necro
or doesn't use cd rather
that's fuckin pog in plaguefall holy cow
Just resets the cd
it channels it if you stand still, it doesn't put it on cooldown
it works for all covenants
eg. you can kyrian phial necrotic stacks using the sigil then use another phial the regular way
for venth in keys do you guys play vigor or mfd
MFD for flag
Wait so u can solo necro in PF if u have sigil
Or does it not work with puddles?
i would assume it does
and you can play double necro yourself
I didn't realize it till after the key so I didn't try
but i forgot to fleshcraft on first boss, but i used sigil and no1 said anything
so i'm guessing it worked
it uses fleshcraft w/o using its cd, yes
imo its the best cov for sigil if we are basing it off cov ability usage
its like having 2 charges of fleshcraft
kyrian as tank is pretty sweet
No, you already can recast flesh craft on the same puddle with urh and it don't work
Did u try it with canceling the buff before u recasted?
Yeah I remember that being a thing
If it worked
Cause dk wouldn't have to play shitter necro
Yeah idd
I don't have sigil to try in m0 though
But then... You'd still be able to flesh craft before killing slime
And have it off cd
Yeah thats true
ill do some testing today ill be home in a couple of hours
Got a sigil on my rogue
And could probably try same thing with urh in m15
hi
What do you all think of mythic rygelon necro for all of the resets and high uptime on Kevin or just go with venth?
Venthyr just way too big diff
Dunno I was slammin as necro yesterday but probably gonna try some venth aswell
Yea but what does banged mean
I guess there arent many assa logs though
Cause you can be top dps in your raid but that doesn't mean you can't do better
Talk numbers please :(
I mean I can't say much considering we only got to like 60%
But anywhere from 16-18k depending on how well I was deathspike cleaving so to say
He got fairies
I might be on some necro copium but it's a lot of fun on ryge
It's defo good enough
Idk if better than venthyr
I missed the kill so I can't say how much I do
If its good enough and fun, then why not

padding
Padding on quasars 
Rank 2 assa on public logs did 15.1k as venth
Id imagine necro has an insane theoretical max dps on that fight
Cuz u dont really need to hold mfds for flag
If u manage to mfd and bonespike like idk 75% of quasars which is extremely hard to pull off youll crank like crazy
@limber lion how much did you do on reggy?
When I was progging I was playing wrong
Also that's quite low
Idk seems about right with u losing some dam when u go inside/bad intermission/massive bang
Top sub log did 15.4k
I think cev did over 16k
16.2k
But I'm not sure so I'm asking
almost 16.3k
cds do not align well for subtlety and you are dependent on procs
so sub will usually peform worse
that was his overall dps on the fight boss dmg was like 15.2k
he didnt prog it
he did
Yeah this sounds about right to me
Mby a bit higher if venth
Is fine Ill kill jaily today and test next week
yeah you better
he played venthyr
What %?
12% without bug, that like 2% if bugged
Yeah nice one thats pretty much a kill today
I think we had the exact same, 12% no bug and boss died within 10-15 pulls after
evolve got this no worries ez kill tonight
Last phase is learned, we just need a clean pull that's bugged
Ez hof
I think a guy in my old guild got a jailer kill with like sub 40 pulls aswell 
Easy yoink because of absentees
Is Duskwalker's BiS in M+?
Yes
Tyty
if u just want boss damage obviously venthyr is best for rygelon
not rly a rogues job to kill adds anyway
Optimally played (which is very difficult) I think necro would end up doing more boss damage
Now is playing that well possible realistically? Probably not
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Would it be hof for u @subtle tundra if you kill him this week?
Today, yes
We just saw 1 pull of p4 jailer yesterday do you guys think it's killable today
I see all the talk of HoF for jailer and stuff stopping this reset. Are there any major changes coming at rhe same time? Still new back to the game and dont wanna waste gold making leggos and stuff only to lose them shortly after.
Not really
Nothing that should affect you
is Nightfae worth playing as assasin or is venthyr the clear choice?
Venth better
hey guys, can i aks how are you simming gear for LoD?
Lords of dread by a mile
Gear shouldn’t change too much with 2 targets, maybe favouring a bit more mastery
Sim 2tgt patchwerk 9min
Expert mode
raid_events+="/vulnerable,first=5,duration=20,cooldown=140"
This on the header
The first vulnerable event on this fight is at 50s, but the apl doesn't hold CDs for it from what I could see
Whish you and your Guild a clean kill! Make us proud.
just did a key of mists.... i wanna die. worst wake up decision ive ever made
So if we send our Vendetta only it would be ready for the first vulnerable event with all cd‘s, or am I missing smth here?
Actually, zoldycks sim better for this fight
So you hold everything
For first.vulnerable
Mists is fun if ur group isn't made up of donkeys
Well it was worse then donkeys
Like me trying to time 25 mists and a 278 warrior donkey doing 10k dps on 1st boss
Idk bro u doing something wrong
everything but the maze went great....
yea the maze were there decision of how to go fast is run into random exits
Inspired wasn’t dying quick enough?
u sure you didn't just encounter the ol'e exitless maze bug?
yes i am sure
i thought bug at first but then i went back and checked and was like nope
they were just running into the walls
ty thats big help
For mythic plus I feel like using vendetta on anything outside a boss never gets full value. Is it better to use a different leggo for mythic+?
Ive played a lot of classes over the years at fairly high lvls of PvP and PvE. Ive never struggled as much to figure out a class. I feel like im trash at rogue to the point I might have to call it and reroll lol
Im using dusk as leggo
Should have said that in first comme t
Comment
Problem is, everything else is dogshit
Also you only have that problem in low keys
Yah, im at around 15s now. I assumed that might be the case. Im pulling like 10k overall with 255 ilvl. I cant figure it out.
Like a back with 10-15 mobs. I have no idea how many to dot and stuff. Ita brutal lol
I spend half the time panicing. And I find km pressing fan of knives and its going off multiple times in a row. Its weird.
Sounds like you are overthinking it waaaay to much. Rupture, Garrote, crimson tempest, as many as you can, Maintain slice n dice, Fan of knives 3+ target, Vendetta the biggest thing every 1 minute. If Duskwalker life isn't for you then you can play zoldyck unless you are venthyr then you are just jailed to duskwalker life 
there are 2 ways of doing aoe on 10-15 targets
or more
- play cache and do a bit of aoe, not too much cause then we'd be viable
- play sub
Ideally people should just be fine with doing what you can knowing that you still have an important part later in the instance. 2 other DPS exist in the composition you don't all need to be competing for AOE numbers
So once you get the dots up on say packa of 4 or 5. You are then just si gle targeting until dots need to apply again? Or just cycle dots and never muti and envenom only to keep up snd?
chances are if you dotted 5 targets the first one is about to fall off, but yes keep beyblading around and spread the red
If you are doing something like a big shard pull in Halls of Atonement, know that is fully fine for you to single target the shard, while fan of knives and crimson tempest for cleave on other targets. while also hopefully helping with interrupts as well
!fuu

Ty ill keep working at it. Still low ilvl but just got 4 pce and I am Ven. So duskwalker it is haha

Oh okay, ty for this information will take our raid a few more weeks for finishing anduin but then it will be a headstart with the right legendary
Best thing you can do with Vendetta is use it on the most important mob in the pack. You're there for good cleave, prio damage, and boss damage
make sure you're using shiv on CD too
can even kidney it to for the increased dam
if you're running the talent for it
If you want giga aoe play lock mage ww etc
best thing is to play your role and be giga good at it. Anyone who tries to flame you for not doing as much as a lock in overall is trolling and doesn't understand how the game nor different specs work
@limber lion did u see the new heroic anduin sin tech?
i couldnt believe the log when i saw it
👀
According to sims SGT and IQD trinkets are best for me. How I am supposed to use them?
IQD with the CDs(flag+ven) and SGT straight after?
What’s the tech 
wait James you can't just come in here like this, show the goods
just go look at the sin logs it blew my mind when i saw the guy was doing that
this sounds like such clickbait lmfao
new sin tech 300000 DPS COULDNT BELIEVE MY EYES
I see you at the top 35k with 5 Power infusions 
lmfao
Damn bro you're insane
Glad I quit, I ain't beating that
Or probably anyone else in a good while
That rune is pretty dank though ngl
the rune is the goat parse tech
i keep that thing only for anduin
and steal all the aoe insta lol
You quit?
final rune tech, nice
How much of a pain in the ass is it to get that to pop at the right time
i imagine no harder than timing cache trinket
the bigger issue is usually healer keeping you alive if they don't know ahead of time that you will be taking the extra damage
otherwise it's big stonks on aoe
17k overall as sin on gambit 19 
have you tried boosting in liquid
i hear it helps with those kinds of situations 
heroic sylvanas dagger or a 272 for offhand?
272
Edge doesn't give nearly as much to sin
But keep edge for sub
I guess you should sim it to be sure. But I'd be shocked if that was better - my sim has me run 272 over a mythic edge
I was just trying to sim it but picked the wrong time to use raidbots I guess lol
bit of a queue
Yeah Tuesday mornings blow. I'm relatively confident you wouldn't use a heroic edge.
Anyone got the string to add for tweaking Earthbreaker's procs?
like only hitting 2 instead of all of them etc
shadowlands.earthbreakers_impact_weak_points=2
Hey, with the 4pc snapshot...shouldn't the "Overcharged Anima Battery" be more valuable ? I made some simulations and looks like its not worth. There is a cap for haste that make this trinket not good ?
ty
yeah, but the The First Sigil is 5min and sins higher
yeah? how are you gonna use a 90s cd trinket efficient when your dps windows are 60-65s apart
i know, but u could sync on 1-3-5 vendetta
just like the cache sync on 1-3
idk, I was just thinking about it
its balanced around its cooldown, and its not very good even then
but you lose casts this way
if youre delaying it youre just making it even worse
I can't get my phial to sim higher than Earthbreakers 😦
i finally got it and i just want to use it
most trinket combinations are very close
yeah rocking a 278 earthbreaker's and 265 first sigil atm
i was surprised how close trinkets are when i did sim trinket combinations
Good
Having a variety is sick
That way if you hate a specific trinket for example, you won’t feel like shit playing one that’s slightly worse
vs actually inting your damage because you hate the trinket
yep
Now I’m curious what they’ll do about the guardian trinket next tier
@gusty mirage y u suk
And the dreadfire
Cuz you quit and I have no motivation to try hard to impress you so you can love me

I want that trinket and that dungeon to burn in eternal hellfire
season 4 timewalking farm again for aa ring 
Thankfully, I cancelled my auto sub
Who dies first, jailer or my wow time?
Race to world last baby
u die first
They need to get rid of that stupid ring. Too hard to farm in a week.
jk ily oxi
Thank God
ily2 and I miss you 
yeah i'll prob try out the phial. earthbreaker is kind of hard to see sometimes in the clutter of melee
Pretty legit they're all so close
I helped my old guild w mythic halon as my first boss this tier lolol
Wanted to play Sin, but didn’t have time to research the rotation w tier and whatnot 😦

@gusty mirage anduin nerfs

- The number of Wicked Stars that go out at once is now 1 on all difficulties (from 2 on Mythic).

any link ?
any pasters?
jailers are nice, but nothing huge I think
is there anyone who could give me tips on how to do better dps as assassination rogue? i try to keep my bleeds and poisons on as many targets as possibly but i cant get higher than ~7k dps in a dungeon. i also have my 2-piece set and duskwalker's legendary
get 4piece and item level 278 and then check back in with us
TLDR for Rogue in Dungeons
Bleeds and poisons on as many targets as possible
Maintain slice and dice
Use cooldowns on cooldown ie Vendetta, Vanish, Shiv, Trinket
Realize your AOE will never be as good as some other classes
Realize that dungeon overall damage is irreverent since not everyone guaranteed the same path or composition.
You either time the key or didn't time it
@rose sphinx
TRUUEEEEEE
no wait wait
u forgot
make sure u stun and kick literally every cast if you don't you're bad
(jk ofc)
on vigilant fuardian sin feels aids
play necro
necro in general feels aids aswell :/
or play sub and BP until the boss dies
that's a fair point
necro do be feeling aids sometimes
yeah sub is my main but i want to go sin now
although I like necro sin better than venth
I really like vent sin
when in doubt cheap and kidney shot machine
I am not a fan of snapshotting
fact
did some keys as vent sin just to practise the playstyle and it was kind of heavy on bosses
yeah but the packs ia another story xD
garrote silence on heavy caster mobs is very underrated
without the enpowered garroges
yeah but i went with MA
dusk unity KING
MA talent
every week good push week
i mean we know i am too addicted
i used dusk
to dodge like every other assass player
we all too addicted to the mindsight of
** we got this even if we dont**

100% Kevin uptime feels “based” on vigilant guardian ( I believe that what the kids are saying these days)
100% uptime is def a good time too
KEVIN?
hey man kevin be shooting shit
we all know Bonk is the best
do u mean BRON?
😉
Kevin is the homie he never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down 
all my homies hate bron
just logged on its mf
fort sanguine grevious
I predict healers take this week off
Just bring double Druid to every key this week nothing could go wrong
2 ferals?
Sure
For Single Target what is a % of haste that feels good for ass? I currently have like 3% haste and its really oppressive. I know there isn't some magical number but what's a rough % that feels good
Power Infusion
fuck the warlocks
but fr once you get to like 16%+ it feels better
I usually run at about 20-22%
but always sim yourself, stats are pretty fluid
also playing optimally will help your energy regen too and it'll feel a lot better
in single target haste is pretty comfortably our best secondary
so for gear you can target what to upgrade, go for haste items
Crit/haste is always the gear you want on assassin
unless its static like on tier pieces
You’ll never feel a difference
Ye honestly as Assa I feel more GCD locked by bad seal fate RNG than by lacking haste
50% haste feels so smooth
that is a disgustingly large amount of haste lol
alaclarity, some food, some elergy, but trust rotation is smooth as butter
i miss 50% crit from SOD
i believe you mean 54%

is that a 278 ooze?
this toon's nowhere near 15s lolol, it's 255 but i already have a lvl 1 ooze that i could work up with valor
sounds painful
oh I don't know you could be in guild full of helpful people that adore you :p I took a guildie who started at 226 through 4 15s
i meeeean my guild probably could but i'd just feel bad lmao
god im the worst rogue ever then :P

Hello I'm looking to swap from fdk to ass rogue and this piece of advice is top tier. Thank you for this.
You know what they say.
🤔
Just slap bleeds on things, big success
I'm only 48 right now. Still got some levelling to go

Hi mates, what its better actually Theotar or Nadja?
Theotar if you can get full umbrella uptime + haste tea I believe, otherwise Nadja just actually more reliable
also there this nice picture someone worked really hard on in #assassination-faq along with a lot more helpful info
Yeah i see the picture but on warcraftlogs some people still playing Theotar and in this way im doubting what to take
Really great job with the guide
And FAQ's
@violet jackalI really aprecciate ur tips, thanks mate
That's likely because they got a good Tea roll
And about stats, Raidbots say for change some pieces and this pieces are crit/mast, isnt better crit/cele and try cap %¿?
Or how works?
Item level
Mastery becomes better with 4pc
Our Mastery increases the damage of our bleeds & poisons, so it gains a lot of value with the set bonuses
Most of all yes, but also when you Shiv between the windows
is there a reason sin doesnt mess with earthbreaker trinket?
what is cel?
Haste
Haste, sorry xD
I only assumed because we were talking about stats and I know what 'celerity' means
this is our stat graph. Item level is king, you can worry about actual stat min max once you are around iLvL 272ish
not going to lie I hear celery evertyime, and just think nothing of it
It’s not terrible there are just better options for sin, i.e phial, ooze, IQD, sigil etc
would y'all say there were differences in gameplay/smoothness/feel etc? I'm trying to pick up assa coming from sub so I'm basically full mastery gear and 0 haste
@violet jackal In my case i have ilvl 272, so need cap some %? Or not
Or just max ilvl and gg
it'd take a fuck ton of haste for you to feel any sort of smoothness
sin is what it is
slow ramp
is theotar still worth it as a soulbind in M+ scenario when you might not always be able to take advantage of the shaded area for the mastery boost?
Just sim yourself dont think about stats or item level at all
🪴
Ye it'd still be worth
For nadjia, you get less value in aoe usually and also your euphoria and fatal flaw buffs are often wasted as well
but if you want you can plan nadjia
gotcha, thanks for the info 👍
it's pretty much a toss up at that point
haste is less useful in aoe than mastery, but the crit from fatal flaw is nice

Yeah its not a huge deal but in keys theo is usually more consistent
^
i tried necro for a bit, was venthyr all xpac and i just felt like i was fucking up my rotation too much when i tossed bonespike into the mix
also, im not crazy right? the urh relic buff just sucks for sin? well, on aoe anyway
Still nice to have options
i feel like i get nothing from it
Now if only I could get invited to a group 
i played sin in season 1, i feel that
everyone just assumed i was outlaw
got kicked from groups multiple times when people realised i was sin
Necro or venth assass for LoD Mythic?
venth has best ST
Necro + zolds has highest output
he asked about LoD
oh
For lod
sorry my bad
flag is pretty awkward with the swarms and among us timings
Thats weird i dont think ive ever been kicked for spec
10-4 ty ty
sin was really bad in season 1
i was the third sin rogue in the world to get ksm season 1, not because i was good
I was really bad in season 1 and i got ksm too
It wasnt a struggle or anything I was just both bad and lazy
we did get a fair few buffs in s1
we sure needed them
i was getting kicked mostly before those buffs
before any buffs at all, tanks did more damage than us

30 second vendetta are pretty nice, also as long as you weren't overcapping combo points throwing bonespikes in your rotation isn't bad
u can do back 2 back shiv too right
double crimson vial as well
I miss her (assassination)
sounds good to me 
sorry for interrupting, are any of these guides any good? i have a hard time trusting iv and wowhead

i think all those guide writers are here in the discord
Yep
I trust wowhead since it's written by the ever so wonderful whispyr
whispyr seli cev
Both iv and wowhead are well maintained by two prominent figures here
seems good to me, but how updated they are, i cannot speak of
Seli writes IV and ceverion and whispyr were working on method
good then, yeah depending on the writer it can be hit and miss
And method has Cev + whispyr

guides seem hard to perma keep up to date
Also @violet jackal you did great buddy, I’m mostly afk this week. Sorry ol
Double feint
surprised you know what feint is
while discord pins and faq are easier to maintain

I be pressing the shit out of it in anduin down phase i do no damage
They are but it’s a task they eventually do. Pins are usually good
george 
Hey. That’s the former rank 1 healer rogue in the world on mythic. Put some fucking respect on the name.
#3, L.
Rank 2



What one is it guys
I was never rank 1 bro

your confusing me
But rank 1 is in here
Nah it was mine initially in 9.1, but it's loong gone now
R2
:p
Hate this 
Ya boy on that grind. I’m suffering lads.
leTs AcAquiRe ThIs RISEn YeASt…
NA lads any good vaults?

Socket for CoS ring 
ow god filithy warlock i heard
I was tempted, but I took the ritual commander's ring
for keys
not bad
i got a socket in bank waiting
I might log on tomorrow for my last vault
that's what I thought, until I saw that I can do 20k dps pushing 1 button
watch me get a dagger
Uhhhh I think I only got the Tazavesh mythic 278 belt & my mythic 5 vault was dogshit. Other rogue got fucked too, got the taza neck crit/haste I had ‘’uh jailer neck…
first vault after killing Ryge
ez daggy

what the fuck
That’s pain.
well sometimes I have to push immolate
thats more then our entire kit....
that's just sometimes though
what the fuck
they needed that 5% aura buff, okay?
I love hitting 100k on my MM alt
ow yea 5% is totally why you got invited
meanwhile, enjoy your 30% to fan of knives peasants
Smile

need to ban warlocks
and he's like what the fuck
I'm like what
he's like all you're pressing is rain of fire
and I was like, yea I know
That’s the trick.
your not even playing the fun warlock spec
You don’t need to press anything else.
just the braindead one
Affi?
It’s the same as my SV hunter, press kill command, get bomb proc, delete rogue
meanwhile rogue has mechanic look in general direction
dark pact on CD
dead
also doesnt demo have some perma health link with pet
ye

why would I press more buttons
when I can press less buttons
and do similar damage
Only diffy is pure ST
Add in another target & Destro wins
prob could have less gear on lock
so we'll see
and he prob dos just as much
ye the people rerolling rn in my guild
i dont know if this makes me want to cry or.....
are the rogues, the warriors, the boomkins, and the shadowpriests

the "pretty good, but not great" specs
fun
meanwhile trying to get parses on my rogue so i can start looking for guilds
Bro I was almost doing more on my hunter with 2pc in a gambit than my rogue. Buff rogue man wtf
bro I was doing as much on my shit geared mm hunter
who has ONE leggo
in aoe
just unity
nothing else
doing 20k in aoe
Make it make sense.
LOL
meanwhile if I don't have xymox trinket off CD
I'm doing 20k sweating + pressing all my buttons on my rogue
its fun
Anyone?
when you have killed the same boss 4 times just for parses and get garbage each time
then SGT
Pressing both buttons
Im pressing mutilate. now what
what next
you press N

no
that's all you do
i will sooner die


hang in there
