Assa Rogue is S-Tier in Season 2?! Full 12.1 PTR Breakdown — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00All right, guys. So, assassination rogue
- 0:04it's impressing a lot of people and we
- 0:05might have a new S tier over here. I'm
- 0:08not even joking. We are doing insane
- 0:11amounts of damage and there's a lot of
- 0:14things that changed on the talent tree
- 0:16and on the rotation. So, let's go
- 0:18through everything that changed you guys
- 0:19don't waste any time. We actually have a
- 0:21lot to talk over here. We're going to
- 0:23try to talk about this a little bit
- 0:25quick, but there's some things that we
- 0:27need to talk about here. So, the first
- 0:29one it's this cursed builds that we are
- 0:31seeing right now.
- 0:33Uh we are not using the rank four on the
- 0:36impeccable and instead of that we are
- 0:38using Sudden Demise. And why is that? It
- 0:42gives us 10% increased bleed damage and
- 0:45empowering 10% on our Garrote and 10% on
- 0:49Rupture. Okay, we can think about it
- 0:51like it's 25% increased Rupture damage.
- 0:55Okay, so even with this Garrote will
- 0:57always do more damage than Rupture.
- 1:00Because of course, we are still using
- 1:02Shrouded Suffocation. So, Garrote will
- 1:04always do a little bit more damage than
- 1:06Rupture and supposedly 10% increase on
- 1:10Garrote damage is is roughly about 15%
- 1:13Rupture and we are still buffing Rupture
- 1:16an additional 10%. So, it's basically
- 1:17around the 25% increased damage. So,
- 1:20which is a lot.
- 1:22I haven't done these calculations
- 1:24myself. This was Whisperer that did the
- 1:27calculations. He is the goat of
- 1:29assassination. So, you guys should check
- 1:32his channel. The link for the channel is
- 1:33going to be on the description down
- 1:34below. Every credit for this calculation
- 1:36is I'm going to give to him because I
- 1:38cannot do this math by myself. And but
- 1:40that's basically what happens here. By
- 1:42taking Sudden Demise, we are empowering
- 1:45Garrote and Rupture. This is why we are
- 1:47not using the Impeccable. Gaining
- 1:50basically 25% increased damage on
- 1:52Garrote on on Rupture and 15% on Garrote
- 1:56is just insane. So, we are not using
- 1:58Unstable Toxin, and I'm going to explain
- 2:01you why. The increased damage that we
- 2:03gain from Envenom, being 18%, yeah, it's
- 2:06good, but the reduced duration from the
- 2:09Envenom aura, it's too much. We
- 2:11basically lose around 30% uptime on
- 2:14Envenom, and 30% reduced uptime on
- 2:18Envenom just for 18% increased damage,
- 2:21it's not worth it. So, we are not using
- 2:23Unstable Toxin. Of course, we are using
- 2:25Poison Bomb. Poison Bomb, it's very,
- 2:27very good on AoE, and it's a must right
- 2:30now to use. Then we have here Dashing
- 2:32Scoundrel. So, if you talent the Dashing
- 2:35Scoundrel, you basically gain two energy
- 2:37per second.
- 2:38And if you don't talent it, you gain
- 2:42around 1.5 energy per second. So, talent
- 2:45talenting this, it's not it's not going
- 2:47to be really impactful. For single
- 2:50target, it can be a little bit a little
- 2:51bit better.
- 2:52And you're going to basically have the
- 2:54energy generation that we had before.
- 2:56And since Dashing Scoundrel was
- 2:58reworked, so before were was one energy
- 3:01per poison crit, and with the Turn
- 3:04Precision, as we are using Fan of Knives
- 3:07every time to accumulate combo points,
- 3:08we we're always applying our poisons,
- 3:11and Dashing Scoundrel will basically
- 3:13give a lot of energy regeneration
- 3:15because of that. So, as it was reworked,
- 3:18and it doesn't gain the energy
- 3:20regeneration for poison application, we
- 3:22are not using Dashing Scoundrel.
- 3:25But that's everything that I wanted to
- 3:27talk to you about talents. This is the
- 3:29best build for M+ at the moment.
- 3:31Everyone is using Fate's Bond. If you
- 3:33want to use a Stalker, the best build
- 3:35it's going to be this one. You just
- 3:37change to the Stalker.
- 3:40And the best raid build or single target
- 3:43build at the moment is this one over
- 3:45here.
- 3:46Of course, every build is going to be on
- 3:48the description down below of the video,
- 3:49so you guys don't need to worry, as
- 3:50always. And for the talents, that's
- 3:52basically it. Okay, so for the rotation,
- 3:56on the first part of the rotation, it
- 3:58doesn't change anything until you send
- 3:59the burst. After you send Death Mark and
- 4:01Kingsbane, you want to spread the
- 4:03bleeds, as always. And after that, you
- 4:06want to spend as many of venoms as you
- 4:08can inside of the burst window until
- 4:11Death Mark
- 4:12until Death Mark expires. And after
- 4:15that, as we talked before, the only
- 4:17thing that you need to do it's to chain
- 4:18the venoms inside the Venom Aura window.
- 4:22That's the only thing that you need to
- 4:23do to maintain the energy. Of course,
- 4:26when you don't have thistle teas, you
- 4:27have to wait and play a little bit
- 4:29slower.
- 4:30Blizzard is meant
- 4:32to making assassination meant to play
- 4:35slower, and that's why they are doing
- 4:37everything to take out
- 4:39every bit of energy regeneration that we
- 4:41have, and they're managing to do it. So,
- 4:45when you don't have thistle teas, you
- 4:46really have to play slow to you can
- 4:48regain the energy and maintain the
- 4:51damage, as well. A really good thing
- 4:52about assassination, and it's going to
- 4:54be really good on high keys, it's the
- 4:57poison damage. As they need time to
- 4:59tick, assassination on high keys is
- 5:01going to be, I believe, the best choice
- 5:03the next season, and we can actually do
- 5:05a lot of damage outside of the burst
- 5:07window. As you can see, the single
- 5:09target it's actually very, very good.
- 5:12The only problem of the single target
- 5:13it's after the burst,
- 5:16we don't actually have any way to
- 5:18maintain the damage.
- 5:20The damage drop off a little bit quick
- 5:23and a little bit too much, in my
- 5:25opinion. I still believe they need to
- 5:27buff a little bit of the of the bleeds.
- 5:30If we had a little bit more bleed
- 5:32damage, we could do a little bit more
- 5:34damage outside of the burst,
- 5:36or they need to find a way to make
- 5:38disable toxin more usable on M plus.
- 5:41Because without that, we're not going to
- 5:43have a lot of burst damage outside of
- 5:45the burst window.
- 5:47As you can see, the single target it's
- 5:48not bad. Can be one of the best specs
- 5:51for raids, but it will depend a lot on
- 5:54the damage outside of the burst window.
- 5:56We can check here the rotation for the
- 5:58stalker and again it doesn't doesn't
- 6:00change literally anything from
- 6:03the fate one one.
- 6:05The damage profile from the two of them
- 6:07are almost the same. Fate bound it's a
- 6:09little bit ahead and I believe there's
- 6:11not much we can talk about here on on
- 6:13the stalker. The prior damage is a
- 6:14little bit better because of the the
- 6:17stalker mark. But that was the same on
- 6:20subtlety. So the stalker always has the
- 6:22best prior damage. And but for the UE
- 6:27it's a little bit worse. As we can see
- 6:29over here, it takes a lot longer to to
- 6:33make damage. But the sustain here on the
- 6:36stalker it's not bad as well. The
- 6:38stalker is it's viable to play.
- 6:40I'm not sure if we're going to see a lot
- 6:42of people play the stalker or not. The
- 6:44two hero talents have a lot of a lot of
- 6:47damage outside of the burst window. You
- 6:49just need to spread the bleeds and as we
- 6:52always have King's Bane outside of the
- 6:55burst window, we can do a lot of damage
- 6:58outside of the burst. Of course, if the
- 7:00mobs die a little bit quick, subtlety is
- 7:03going to be the best choice. I believe
- 7:05until 10th 12th. After that I believe
- 7:08assassination takes the lead. Outlaw
- 7:11I wanted to try a little bit more of
- 7:12outlaw but the lag is just insane when
- 7:14it plays bleeds well. I don't know
- 7:16what's happening but it's been this
- 7:18since the the PTR started. Let's hope
- 7:20that changed.
- 7:22But for the single target here on
- 7:25the stalker it's actually a little bit
- 7:27worse than fate bound. As we can see, we
- 7:30are a lot dependent on the darkest night
- 7:32and I don't know why darkest night it's
- 7:34not doing the most damage.
- 7:37And I don't understand why that's
- 7:39happening but it's not doing the most
- 7:41damage, unfortunately. Until they fix
- 7:43that, I believe
- 7:45Fate bound might be the best choice for
- 7:47single target. The prior damage, yeah,
- 7:50it's better on
- 7:52the stalker, but the single target
- 7:54damage on bosses and everything, it's
- 7:56still better on Fate bound. All right,
- 7:59guys. So, we can all see the stats. And
- 8:01for assassination, what you want,
- 8:04it doesn't change from what I believe. I
- 8:06don't want to say anything that's wrong.
- 8:08But, from what I understand, I don't see
- 8:10anyone changing changing their stats.
- 8:13So, I believe everything stays the same.
- 8:16So, I have 45% mastery, 42% crit, and 18
- 8:2119% haste.
- 8:22You don't need that much haste. You want
- 8:24haste because of the energy regen, but
- 8:27I believe 19 to 20% is the perfect
- 8:30amount.
- 8:31So, for the stats, that's what you want.
- 8:34All right, guys. So, the video basically
- 8:36came to an end. This was just to show
- 8:38you the changes that happen on the PTR
- 8:40on assassination. Any changes that can
- 8:42happen, I'm always going to post so you
- 8:43guys don't need to worry. I can't thank
- 8:45you all enough to all the support that
- 8:46you guys have been giving me the past
- 8:48days, weeks, and months. We just reached
- 8:501K subscribers the last day, and I can't
- 8:53thank you enough, guys. You're making
- 8:55literally my dream come true. Thank you
- 8:57all for watching, guys. My name is
- 8:58Mushket, and I'll see you all in the
- 8:59next video.
