so if you want to use a different slot or a max itemlevel legendary
you can with enough reputation buy a blueprint from the vendor in the zone

#

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)

#

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If its not outdated ofc

zinc frost
#

Pre 9.2 we did but with 4 set we keep up CT at all times including during shiv window

pastel onyx
#

Okay, ty

cloud reef
#

It’s normally a ~70% uptime

#

You always prioritise rupture and garrote

zinc frost
#

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

pastel onyx
#

Prioritizing rupture and garrote sounds like an obv thing to do

cloud reef
#

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 PES_SadShrug

zinc frost
#

Where are you getting 70 from?

#

This is Skolex for reference

cloud reef
#

Just when I was looking at Cevs logs it obviously varied but the handful I looked at were in the 70s

violet jackal
#

Definitely can do Better then 70. 85 is probably the upper limit

cloud reef
#

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

zinc frost
#

At the expense of what though? There’s no reason to not maintain CT as a dot

#

@limber lion thoughts?

limber lion
#

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

zinc frost
#

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.

odd heath
#

Cev is red now again :o

empty hinge
limber lion
#

had to ask for a vacation :P

glass tulip
#

My CT uptime on skolex was also about 87%

violet jackal
#

to be expected from such a phenomal player keep it up King

willow kite
#

Is using CT on ST something that comes with prerequisites, or is it always the go-to?

#

for the dot, ofc

violet jackal
#

For venythr it is always the go to

red tinsel
#

How do you guys open for maximum Flagellation stacks?

Build 5CP > Flag > SnD > MfD > Rupture > Mut for 5 > Env?

polar cape
#

do i let them fully expire the last rup/gar after vendetta expire or i can refresh pandemic them?

violet jackal

Kool thx

#

No Hof for us I don't think we can get jailer down in 1 more raid day verysadge

violet jackal
#

not with that attitude, i'm sure you all have the gear, just remember boss dies if you all don't die.

fair vector
#

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?

balmy condor
#

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

fair vector
#

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.

violet hemlock
#

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

fair vector
#

So always fill all targets with bleeds before even hitting the first CT?

rancid granite
#

(With snd up) Gar, gar, gar, rupt, mfd, ct, fok, (fok), rupt.. etc

violet hemlock
#

no u hit ct and keep the dot up

#

u just dont spam ct

rancid granite
#

Maybe 4x garr

#

It depends on the key, size pack, overall dps/aoe

fair vector
#

Prob a crazy question but wtf is mfd

violet hemlock

Got ya. Didnt have it specced so didnt see it

First proper key as Sin this season went pretty well pog

hollow river
#

Did you guys go left?

#

After 1st boss

burnt latch
#

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

hollow river
#

Yeah I think it just comes down to how you can pull everything

burnt latch
#

yeah pretty much

ebon notch
#

any 95% CT uptimers?

pure moth
#

Yup

subtle tundra
#

yo guys

#

what series do i watch during jailer prog

#

really need someone to come in clutch rn

echo geyser
#

starege oops already deleted the evidence

ebon notch
#

im spending literally 50% of the fight between 4-20 seconds of SnD

scarlet sequoia
#

and 100% uptime on jailer all week

ebon notch
#

wait you guys arent dreaming of p3 jailer wipes?

scarlet sequoia
#

nocco is pretty desperate

#

no shot u guys are getting hof

ebon notch

i mean

#

thanks for the support ig

I don't want to wipe on this tier any more

vestal wren
#

what was your best pull so far

willow saddle
#

Hey, When do you guys play Nadjia over Theotar? theotar is currently simming 90 dps higher than nadjia for me

storm onyx
subtle tundra
#

no, in m+ is theotar cause thrill seeker is bad

#

procs at end of packs, you lose stacks between packs

willow saddle
#

Do you hold cds for thrillseeker or just play like normal?

burnt latch
#

@ebon notch i believe

#

today a little peak into p4 tomorrow kill

ebon notch
#

idk its just

#

random deaths

#

cant play around that

storm onyx
ebon notch
#

our ranged need to shape up a little and then we can kill

burnt latch
#

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

ebon notch
#

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

burnt latch
#

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

ebon notch
#

tru

#

but also the inverse if we dont

burnt latch
#

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"

brazen zodiac

hybrid vale

i dont make the rules man

violet hemlock

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
violet jackal
#

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

violet hemlock
#

statistically ct is better... most ppl just are lazy and thus dont play pb

brazen zodiac
#

huh

red tinsel
#

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?

Why Necro?

subtle tundra
#

if you play pure st why are you necro

#

venthyr is also better than necro overall in the raid

violet jackal
#

Bone spike is fun

#

also it's easier to raid lead not worrying about syncing 3-5 abilities

subtle tundra
#

well

#

i didnt know this was a thing about fun

#

venthyr is more fun for me

Venom rush is more fun for me

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.

I might post some logs, but I'm really sensitive lol

it's not like something you can't change

#

if its bad

vestal wren

just change your point of view

halcyon zealot
#

people don’t really roast here, most people are really helpful

vestal wren
#

everyone makes mistakes, if somone else points them out you can improve

halcyon zealot
#

unless u shitpost every day then u are subject to getting roasted

hybrid vale
#

the game is easy enough that every1 can do cev level dps with practice

vestal wren
#

there is nothing wrong with that, and nobody will make fun of you for making a mistake

I won't post today's since it's just 28 wipes on Rygelon and agony.

red tinsel
#

having a noob moment here... but since when is Garrote usable outside of stealth?

winter vapor
#

ah I remember that sensation, answer is i dont know, but yes it is

red tinsel
#

I just want to go outside and tell everyone how amazing that is, but I feel like I just left a cave

loud light
#

usable outside of stealth is a 7.0 change (legion)

vestal wren
#

^ the specs got reworked at the start of 7.0

#

funny enough both garrote and ct did exist on other specs too in wod

strange python
#

hey guys, is simming for 2 targets at raidbots reliable? (necro assa for lords)

vestal wren
#

yes

#

but 2 target patchwerk does not include the vulnerability phase, and hence might not help you a lot when trying to evaluate lords

strange python
#

and do u know why they are playing marileth/heirmir?

vestal wren
#

because it does the most damage

strange python
#

yeah I meant some of them are playing marileth and others heimir

#

if its almost same or why going both

subtle tundra
#

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

strange python

If you fleshcraft with Merileth can u avoid being feared by puddles on lords?

wait, sigil channels your fleshcraft for you instantly?

#

in necro

#

or doesn't use cd rather

ebon notch
#

It's only for necro I'm pretty sure

#

The other covs it doesn't cast it

solid mica
#

that's fuckin pog in plaguefall holy cow

ebon notch
#

Just resets the cd

fallow otter
#

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

storm belfry
#

for venth in keys do you guys play vigor or mfd

maiden pewter
#

MFD for flag

burnt latch
#

Or does it not work with puddles?

solid mica
#

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

storm belfry
#

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

Would be really pog

Cause dk wouldn't have to play shitter necro

burnt latch
#

Yeah idd

subtle tundra
#

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

burnt latch
#

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

#

What do you all think of mythic rygelon necro for all of the resets and high uptime on Kevin or just go with venth?

subtle tundra
hardy dagger
#

Dunno I was slammin as necro yesterday but probably gonna try some venth aswell

subtle tundra
#

What were your numbers like?

#

I haven't tried it

maiden pewter
#

Kayl played necro on rygelon

#

He banged

#

Kevin seems good there

subtle tundra
#

Yea but what does banged mean

maiden pewter
#

I guess there arent many assa logs though

subtle tundra
#

Cause you can be top dps in your raid but that doesn't mean you can't do better

#

Talk numbers please :(

hardy dagger
#

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

subtle tundra
#

He got fairies

hardy dagger
#

I might be on some necro copium but it's a lot of fun on ryge

subtle tundra
#

It's defo good enough

#

Idk if better than venthyr

#

I missed the kill so I can't say how much I do

maiden pewter
#

If its good enough and fun, then why not

subtle tundra
#

Cause swapping covenants is cringe

#

Between bosses

#

I'll try it though

maiden pewter

But he also only did 15.6k boss dps

Out of that 16.7k

Padding on quasars SMH

#

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

subtle tundra
#

@limber lion how much did you do on reggy?

#

When I was progging I was playing wrong

subtle tundra

#

Idk seems about right with u losing some dam when u go inside/bad intermission/massive bang

Top sub log did 15.4k

subtle tundra
#

I think cev did over 16k

earnest remnant
#

16.2k

subtle tundra
#

But I'm not sure so I'm asking

earnest remnant
#

almost 16.3k

vestal wren
#

cds do not align well for subtlety and you are dependent on procs

#

so sub will usually peform worse

burnt latch
#

16.3k boss dps will be a huge overall dps then

#

Probably close to 17k

earnest remnant
#

that was his overall dps on the fight boss dmg was like 15.2k

he did

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

subtle tundra
#

Also you only have that problem in low keys

fair vector
#

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.

violet jackal
#

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 kekw

subtle tundra
#

there are 2 ways of doing aoe on 10-15 targets

#

or more

#
  1. play cache and do a bit of aoe, not too much cause then we'd be viable
#
  1. play sub
violet jackal
#

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?

violet jackal
#

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

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

#

How much of a pain in the ass is it to get that to pop at the right time

ebon notch
#

i imagine no harder than timing cache trinket

violet jackal
#

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

heroic sylvanas dagger or a 272 for offhand?

strange python
#

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

misty holly
#

I was just trying to sim it but picked the wrong time to use raidbots I guess lol

#

bit of a queue

strange python

Yeah Tuesday mornings blow. I'm relatively confident you wouldn't use a heroic edge.

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 ?

its 90s cd

#

if it was 1min it might have been good

im kinda sad the pvp badge isnt good either

#

considering the 1 min cd

drifting cloud
#

yeah? how are you gonna use a 90s cd trinket efficient when your dps windows are 60-65s apart

tough bridge
#

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

drifting cloud

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

most trinket combinations are very close

vestal wren
#

i was surprised how close trinkets are when i did sim trinket combinations

gusty mirage
#

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

vestal wren

yep

rose sphinx
#

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

violet jackal
#

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

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

upbeat needle
#

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

misty holly
#

in single target haste is pretty comfortably our best secondary

#

so for gear you can target what to upgrade, go for haste items

glass tulip
#

Crit/haste is always the gear you want on assassin

#

unless its static like on tier pieces

hollow river
trim cairn
#

Ye honestly as Assa I feel more GCD locked by bad seal fate RNG than by lacking haste

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

true tusk
#

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

viscid spear
true tusk
#

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?

violet jackal
#

Item level

viscid spear
#

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

true tusk
#

In window (Vendetta) with 4p, right?

#

So Item lvl=Crit/Mast > Crit/Cel in this way

viscid spear
manic walrus
#

is there a reason sin doesnt mess with earthbreaker trinket?

violet jackal
#

what is cel?

viscid spear
true tusk
#

Haste, sorry xD

I only assumed because we were talking about stats and I know what 'celerity' means

You don't do Spires very often, eh?

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?

but if you want you can plan nadjia

gotcha, thanks for the info 👍

gusty mirage

it's pretty much a toss up at that point
