*Thanks for watching and hope this helps!* ⚔ *Correction:* Shiv does Physical damage and with the "Improved Shiv" Talent increases BOTH nature and bleed damage to the target.

After getting KSM on a tank I wanted to play m+ some more so I hopped onto my old Rogue. I have to say your rotation explanation is one of the best I've seen and I saw a lot as an altoholic. I was really scared of Assa rogue but your video helped tremendously

[@NovaWarcraft]

Thank you so much for the comment, it really means alot as I was unsure if I'd voice things decently enough in the video. I'm happy to hear it helps! On another note: big salute to you my friend for tanking and KSM, unsung heroes!

[@elvisosmanovic4846]

Beautiful Channel, great branding, suoper nice consistency in the presentation overall. Subbed just for the quality of everything.

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@elvisosmanovic4846 This means so much to me! Thank you for the feedback and comments

[@ddexter1000]

Very good guide but where and when do you weave crimson tempest in this not so easy rotation 😮 This button you have not used once in your video or did i miss something?

[@NovaWarcraft]

Thank you! If you look at 11:23 I show you where to crimson tempest. Basically I like to open up on AoE pack with Ambush - Garrote - Rupture - Rupture - Garrote - Garrote - *Crimson Tempest* - mutilate - Fan of Knives spam To Envenom on the target you mutilated ( Caustic Spatter )

[@js11t]

my best wishes for you for your channel friend! I would go as far as say that wow is in it's best overall state in the war within, as far as participation, expansion features etc. It's great to see more content creators sprouting all over the place, let's get this community even stronger! Cheers, all the best! P.S I don't even play rogue, but i still enjoyed the video, that says something!

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@js11t Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I’ve been enjoying WoW a great deal as well, it’s been a ton of fun playing again

hope someday you start doing more classes :D very easy to follow your guide and very easy to understand whats prio and what makes it good. keep up doing a gret job !

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@Gril018 Thank you very much! I’m really happy to hear I’m doing ok with the info and I appreciate your comment. I might dabble in some other classes at the end of tiers :D

Nice guide buddy! We’re expecting more guides, it can be with other characters as well. You explain things very well!

[@NovaWarcraft]

Thank you so much! Hopefully, long term I can branch out to other classes, and thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.

[@angryshoesproduction]

Hell yes love your vids thanks Nova, subscribed. I didn't realize the cross application from Indiscriminate Carnage would prioritize targets that aren't bleeding yet which is a huuuuge QOL improvement from thinking I had to apply my second stack of bleeds to a non-affected mob. Perhaps you'd get one more mob this way but the cognitive and physical lag of re-targeting in the opening rotation probably does more harm than the theoretical dps gain from one extra mob with our bleeds on it.

[@NovaWarcraft]

Thank you so much, means alot! I agree with you 100% on both the QOL and potential loss / gain with retargeting. From what I've seen, the prioritization of mobs is fairly accurate as long as their within range for IC application.

[@dreammoon4]

great video mate! will you make a video for sub rogs maybe? assassination rog is kinda hard to play for me :(

[@NovaWarcraft]

Thank you very much! To be honest, I've always mostly mained assassination but I will see if I can work in some Sub content. I can't promise anything but I will try :P

[@PedroHenrique-dr2st]

What illusion are you using? nice guide! Im from brazil

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@PedroHenrique-dr2st Thank you! I’m using the “Demonic Tyranny” illusion

[@Claw94]

i feel like i have always used this build i have to check tonight to see if my build is a bit different but our rotations etc are the same

[@NovaWarcraft]

Sweet! It's probably similar then and you have some wiggle room with a few talents. I'm really enjoying it though, do you like how it plays?

[@Claw94]

@@NovaWarcraft couple hours ago i finally got my 4 pc and my dmg just skyrocketed and this build definitly helps i just wish we still had 2 vanishes since chain pulls hurts us rogues :/

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@Claw94 oh yeah especially now that they fixed the set bonus. I miss the 2 vanish at times too, I think just a lot of people don’t realize how much damage you can do plus enemy damage reduction if they just wait 1 sec in between for you to get stealth. It’s definitely frustrating at times haha

[@omones]

That set is beautiful, what transmog is it? :)

[@NovaWarcraft]

=) It's called "Lurking Specter" from Dragonflight Xpac

[@harleymoore7736]

Man just wanted to say great amd informative video, but especially your production value is so good. And for a channel 2 months old???

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@harleymoore7736 I appreciate the kind words, thank you so much. I hope to make it even better long term, just getting the feel for everything right now. Thanks again!

[@harleymoore7736]

You're very welcome. I hope you get the views your quality clearly deserves. I also had a question about really big packs, more than 5 like if tank chain pulls like 8+ or something ridiculous. Is it worth trying to spread rupture to all (or as many as possible) targets or just go with the initial 5 or so you get from your opener rotation?

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@harleymoore7736 I always try to get up as many Garrotes / Ruptures as you can fit when indiscriminate carnage is up to spread them in the first 6 seconds. After that, go to the next stages of poison Bomb envenom and crimson tempest. It takes too long to single dot things after that window ends. If the packs are full of elites with high health, you could vanish and gain another 6 seconds of easy spread to try and dot the rest but I typically use vanish for emergency pulls or after your initial dots fall off

[@harleymoore7736]

@@NovaWarcraft that's really helpful thank you Just hit my highest overall of 980k after practising your rotation a bit. Excited to improve more

nice guide bro :D what is ur combat text addon name

[@NovaWarcraft]

Thanks! =) and unless I'm unaware of something, the combat text should be default wow text

[@RhodesianSuperiority]

As a pvp’r whos now playing M+, not having double/aoe shiv feels horrible 😢 i wish they would make it more easily available in the tree considering its our only cd that can do any sort of multitarget. Meanwhile other classes like dk, mage, warrior just passively cleave with their CDs. Same with just having 1 vanish.

[@NovaWarcraft]

Yeah I have a difficult time when I swap between PvP / PvE trying to play around the setups instead of habit. I initially missed my double vanish early on in M+ too, its so nice in PvP. I haven't really looked yet but do you know if they're moving anything around for the anniversary patch?

[@RhodesianSuperiority]

@@NovaWarcraft i know theyre changing echoing reprimand to a passive, idk if it will be useful anymore. I thought they were also changing where the second vanishing was. I know subt is getting a ton of changes removing almost all of the CDR unfortunately, but i havent seen sin changes.

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@RhodesianSuperiority Oh wow, yeah I definitely need to look into it. The only thing I remember was a thistle tea change and SND will be more passive I believe than it already is.

[@charli4815]

me having problems with keybinds playing wow. this guy doing high key by pressing buttons with his mouse lmao

[@Mythclasher]

lmao was thinking the same thing about me playing

[@cooller8888]

I do play a very similar build but I made it harder myself and swapped targets for spreading the initial DoTs and back to marked target :D I feel so dumb you don't even know :D :D

[@NovaWarcraft]

hehe! Well at least now you will do even better without the downtime of swapping. It's a fun build. Were you always running something similar?

[@cooller8888]

@@NovaWarcraft I already tried, and it's way simpler now, doing a lot more damage in bigger packs. yeah, I kinda don't see any other options, this has everything. Pure bleed/poison don'T seem viable. I'd love to play sub, but it's not performing well and it's hard to manage cooldowns

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@cooller8888 Yeah definitely seems more standard right now. Ahhh, I've always just been an assassination main so I've never really messed with sub/outlaw much xD

[@cooller8888]

@@NovaWarcraft you should give it a go, outlaw is fun, but I don't feel much like a rogue anymore while playing it, but it's fun. As a sub, however, that's a true rogue feeling. Sub is just superior, but the design still has gaps that are hard to overcome and in pve is underperforming. The PvP sub is superior on the other hand. I think rogue is kinda good state, all specs have some flavor and usefulnes.

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@cooller8888 I might have to try it sometime! I think I probably would like sub more than outlaw, based on daggers and aesthetics too

[@atdatdatd]

why do you only show the nameplate of the mob you are targetting? this is bad for like 10 reasons lol

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@atdatdatd just how I play, never liked having a ton of nameplate clutter. I know the way I play between clicking, UI, lack of addons or weak auras isn’t the most ideal lol

[@atdatdatd]

@@NovaWarcraft you should try to get used to nameplates bro, the amount of damage you will gain will be huge

[@NovaWarcraft]

@@atdatdatd You toggle them all on to see all the health bars or to see if your dots are on them?

[@atdatdatd]

both, but most importantly, to see dots + desired debuffs. I use a plater profile that I edited to show only the debuffs I want to see on nameplates of a mob (rupture, garrote, caustic spatter (which also makes the entire mobs nameplate white for easier re targetting of caustic spatter target in large packs after re applying bleeds etc) and I show deathstalker's mark on the far right side). If you only show the debuffs you want to see it becomes a lot less visually cluttered and really, really helps when playing a build so focused on bleeds

[@atdatdatd]

also crimson tempest. I'll get you a screenshot of how these 5 dummies look with my plater profile
