bitflux 3 Report post Posted August 15, 2018 16 hours ago, TeoStrife said: Guys, i have one question. Does Nightstalker Talent buff up the Rupture's damage? Because the tooltip does not change to reflect the damage buff, while other tooltips get the updated damage whenever i enter stealth. For example, if i Stealth > Mark for Death > Rupture, will that Rupture do 50% more damage? Thanks Yes, it will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Blayke Report post Posted August 17, 2018 So does added haste begin to improve dps immediately, (and if so, how?) or do you have to reach a "soft cap", i. e. a haste level that provides an extra tick in the time period that the buff/bleed lasts, in order to reap any benefit? Is there a haste % we should be aiming for (if so, why?), and if so, does haste still give any benefit before reaching that number (again, if so, how?) Been through the various guides and forums and can't find an explicit answer to this. Thanks for any help with this. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since wod(?) i believe, there is no more hard breakpoints which get you an extra tick, and instead it's speeding up all the time. Currently I don't think there is any specific percentage that gets a huge bump in value, so nothing specific to aim for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Roguepoison Report post Posted August 18, 2018 So does anyone else feel Assassination is a bit squishy and lackluster than it was in Legion? I mean I know a lot was pruned or changed but I still use it as my main spec, don't know if it'll change with better gear, but about 2 days into 120 at 305 ilvl and I still it's quite difficult to stay alive against more than 2 mobs at a time. Maybe that's just me, but I've played Assassination since LK and I know in WoD it took a big dip but in Legion is was pretty strong.. I can't recall having the same complications in Legion as I do in BFA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Qinjax Report post Posted August 19, 2018 How does shrouded suffocation add more damage than any other trait when you cant keep the dot rolling and it's on effectively a 2 minute cooldown? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently it is broken, however previously the damage increase from the trait, applied to every single dot tic, thus making it a lot stronger than it looks. After it is fixed, it's behavior will be re-tested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Suicidesally Report post Posted August 20, 2018 Would it be worth to get the epic BOE trinkets from AH, Darkmoon Card, and Landoi's Scrutiny?

Vanorr 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Hi. I have some questions regarding stats. The guide says I should prioritise stats as Agi > Haste > Crit > Mastery. All my gear has Agi, so I'm not concerned about that. Currently, I'm level 115 and my concern is, should I always use the piece of gear that is the highest iLvl? Or should I ignore the iLvl and use the best gear that will keep my Crit % as my highest stat, then my Haste % second and then Mastery % third? Thanks.

When leveling, item level is almost always going to be best for you. The defensive aspect of the gear is equally as important as the offensive, so item level really is king for leveling. Agility being the top priority is important and should not be discarded. Primary stats are extremely important in this expansion and, more often than not, items will be an upgrade purely because of being a higher item level. To be 100% certain, you need to sim the gear you get using Raidbots, but it's definitely important to pay attention to Agility on gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll do a sim and see how I go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BiS list is simply from dungeon drops, you can get better gear from other sources, especially with WF/TF, so it's better to sim top gear for yourself.

Guest Blayke Report post Posted September 5, 2018 Never got an answer on this one, so i'll try again. ? Why is it recommended to have two different enchants on our daggers (I'm assassination, btw)? I would have thought if one haste enchant is good, two might be better? Thanks for any and all help here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't tested it recently in-game, but last time they did not stack properly, so you'd lose the benefit if you used two of the same ones. It's the same way in sims, unless they also model it incorrectly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bullzark Report post Posted September 6, 2018 At what point do you start to devalue haste? I'm sitting at 19% base haste, and energy regen isn't that big of an issue it seems. Still a touch slow, so I am guessing somewhere around 22-25%? Also, in terms of stat weights, what value would you give to each? I've setup my dugi config (not the best addon, I know) for loot. Currently I have stat weights of 17.46 - Agility 13.05 - Haste 10.66 - Crit 8.05 - Mastery 4.06 - Versatility so its pretty much 4.5 agility 3 haste 2.5 crit 2 mastery 1 versa Where abouts to you value haste to the expense of others?

Kaillus 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2018 Hello, I was just looking at the easy mode page: Basic Rotational Priority for Assassination Rogue Keep Rupture and Garrote applied to the main target at all times. Use Vendetta on cooldown. Activate Vanish on cooldown, when you have full Combo Points, and apply Garrote. Cast Envenom to dump Combo Points. Use Mutilate to generate Combo Points on 1 target. Use Fan of Knives to generate Combo Points on 2+ targets. For #3, Idon't understand why you would cast Garrote if you have full combo points. Isn't that an over cap of combo points? Should that be Rupture instead, or maybe say "Activate Vanish when on cooldown when you have 3 or 4 combo points, and apply Garrote" I guess this depends on which talents you choose as well. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
