Any thought about the upcoming changes?

Do you think Assa will become more viable?

Initial Sims are showing everything to be viable at the moment. I made a discussion thread about the patch notes on the main forums if you'd like to come have a chat about it

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

Well I can't speak for whether or not you're drunk, but yes there is. I let the people responsible for updating the guides know a while ago, hopefully it will be fixed soon

The writers have been notified with a few updates, I imagine it will be fixed in the updates for the balance patch.

Ideal opener should be -  Stealth > garrote > rupture > mutilate mutilate > 5cp vanish > rupture > Vendetta > Kingsbane> exsa

In short? No.

Elaborate planning is still better.

Mastery > Crit > Vers is your stats once you get to raid gear level, and Agonising Poison as your Tier 6 talent

Is elaborate planning difficult to use? Should i try to use mutitate-evenom just to maximize it`s uptime? I tried it once over hemo and got significant dps drop, obviously i did something wrong, but if i would not be able to learn to use it properly is master poisoner that bad?

Also, can you advice please, at what percent of mastery bonus it`s beneficial to switch into Agonizing?

Afaik there is no defined point. Stats are very fluid - if you're low on Vers but have high Crit and Mastery, you'll notice an increase sooner than later. If you have a lot more Vers and  Crit than Mastery, you'll see Exsang stay stronger for longer. From what I've seen, most people seem to be switching around 110% or so, but again it varies quite a bit.

As far as EP is concerned, you probably need to focus on pooling resources more - when you build to 5-6CP, pool Energy, so when you use a Finisher you have enough Energy to get damage out in the short window afterwards.

Currently i have 10484 crit, 7042 vers and 634 mastery (0 haste). Will it be a good idea to "pool" mastery gear (not wear it until i get a good bunch of it)?

Item level (Agility) is still worth more than any secondary stat, so no that's not really worth it.

You'll passively gain a lot more Mastery as you start getting more gear, because it takes less Mastery to make 1% than it does Vers.

Since you have such a discrepancy, it might actually be worth trying out Hemo in your Tier 1, since it will help your Bleeds more; with such a low Mastery rating, you might see more benefit than the poison option, but I'm not sure how it will compete with EP

Not even close. This is so wrong I don't even know where to begin with.

I want to ask about kingsbane - is it a good idea to shot an envenom before using it (probably giving 1-2 mutilates after exsanguinate and then envenom-kingsbane) and try to keep evenom buff (mutilate-envenom-pool while buff ticks - mutilate-envenom-etc) as long as possible before the need to pool cp for rapture renew?

I think the ideal use of it is to have nearly max Energy and 6CP. Envenom > Kingsbane > Mut to 6CP > Envenom

That really doesn't matter though, it can be a Rupture before you use Kingsbane too. This is mostly due to being able to snapshot the Elaborate Planning buff (I think this will work; I haven't tested it yet but it works with Rupture so I assume it does). Then you get off as many Envenoms as possible while the Poison is running, to maximise the number of Lethal Poison applications applied and ensure higher damage

At this point in Legion, all legendary pieces are excellent for all outgoing damage, single target and aoe. 895 is BiS period.

      Im playing rogue assa in cata classic and after read some guide I don't understand some things about stats. 
      I know as a rogue assa I have to priories hit rating until the spell hit cap of 17% (1332 if I remember) but i dont understand how to manage other stats like mastery and haste/crit or expertise. 
      Did I have to put full mastery ? and reforge all the crit chance, expertise and reforge haste at least ? Or did I have to balance mastery and haste ?
      Can someone help me to understand in wich ordre and priority I have to manage stats as Assa Rogue in wow cata classic ?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
