you didnt say spamming crimson tempest did you? it doesnt do initial damage, its a low prio bleed, you spam envenoms when you can afford it and use spatter (and 4p) to do aoe^^ always CT at 2+ targets after opener and always use spatter and keep it active on prio targets^^ but yeah its hell of fun. f feral tbh. my kitty cant compete with that much fun

[@StoovTV]

I would say my M+ Experience with a tank who understands how Assassination works goes really well. What doesn't go well is a tank who loves to chain pull, never letting you break out of combat. Man, you'd think Rogue would have an easier time getting into stealth after a rework no? Sure, i'm not saying theres 0 options but it feels terrible to use shadow dance just to put up charged/aoe garrote. Not to mention some affixes are just cancer to assassination specifically. Spiteful week? Good fuckin luck getting into stealth between pulls. That said, it is my favorite rogue spec by far.

[@weszly]

As a long time healer / rogue dual main this has been a healers struggle for years. Welcome.

[@armagedoc66]

I always moved assassins the most. Bleed&poison is my fav damage type. Thus, I also loved survival hunter in Cata too 😅

[@armagedoc66]

Also, macro shadow with kbane and because your muti turns into ambush, its much more easier.

[@tudorutu]

Which nameplates are those? I saw them before, forgot where... thanks!

[@ugurcoskun8509]

dude i love how you`re having fun while u are making the videos cheers me up always! And you`re always confusing me about what to play :D

[@rl8073]

same

[@kpaenen]

Always been an ass rogue since TBC, but not always in assassination though.

[@TheShawnMower]

You need twice the ass to be an assassination rogue

[@Archmage88ttv]

having the extra crimson tempus to use really pees me off XD i cut it out and upped my damage with higer energy, turns out the bomb does more damage

[@studyofgaming9707]

Just came back to WoW after quitting since Castle Nathria. Rogues feel really good right now!

[@fsp711]

Keep up the good work, love the vids

[@MarcelianOnline]

Appreciate it!

[@tolgavegeta]

Correction about crimson tempest: it doesnt reward spamming it anymore after the rework, as the instant damage component has been removed, so no, you should never spam it. But yes, we are back booooys

[@rogelio6805]

Thanks a lot... no wonder I felt that spamming it last week was kind of OP.. based on the fact that I could have instant damage faster than a tick from crimson tempest

[@armagedoc66]

4 piece helps us here 😊

[@MarcelianOnline]

Corrections always welcome :D

[@dieasap]

@@armagedoc66can you explain?

[@Ben_5]

@@dieasap4 piece makes Envenom have an AOE component when you use it again when it’s already active.

[@zizouwowist1641]

assassiant is great but not at low keys. dh or bm will clear the add before you spread your bleed

[@MB-go6uy]

"For too long you've had to manage your bleeds, energy your posions, your mortgage, your calorie intake"... hahahah!!!!🤣🤣🤣 So true lol

[@iwrathg1122]

I need a legit hand holder guide for this spec. I’ve boosted one as it’s the only class I didn’t have at max, and I’ve watched all the guides but I can’t make things happen 😭😭😭

[@drtyprior]

High skill ceiling? I'm intrigued...

[@johannesdatblue4164]

Ravenhold discord and wowhead and whispyr (guidewriter) also has a yt channel^^ after you got used to it, you will have the time of your life! its such a blast. i dropped feral as main because sin just feels good, complex and smooth, damn raiding is exciting! when i started playing assa ...again..... i was overwhelmed. i felt like i should juggle 3 balls, ride a one wheel bicicle (dont know the name) dodge gyus with basebal lbats while riding over jumps and through fire rings. but after that ended i love to juggle but god damn, my kicks and cc's got even worse LOL

[@lancejohnson3278]

Just gotta whack the dumby for a while. The ST opener takes a while to get used to, and is further complicated with its BiS on-use trinkets. Without WAs to track uptime on certain effects you just won't do damage.

[@johannesdatblue4164]

@@lancejohnson3278 yeah assa can be nasty but i think its aoe opener and compelexity is far superior to st, but st is still complex enough, maximising every second for 16s + opener for CD every time. so 20s that need to be played cleanly. but i think we can agree that a clean bug burst feels SOOOOOO good. better then my real life tbh lol

[@lancejohnson3278]

@@johannesdatblue4164 huh, that's funny, I find its AOE opener to be far easier than its ST opener. Smart bleed spread means you just pump everything into your main target, and you're also silencing so you're adding a lot of utility. I tend to just sit in stealth til everything is grouped.

[@tblack4534]

One of my absolute favourite abilities in wow for me is the poison you can use in your weapons. So cool to Auto DOT enemys Like a litzle Ninja :D

[@L0rks]

Thank you for poisons :)

[@dennisd4452]

I'm pushing 55 and after every expansion I hit like I have pillows. Its always takes me 75 clicks of a handful of buttons for pvp. Yet I get put down in about 3 to 5 hits from any other class. I understand the dragon class is the star of the xpac. I also know I have olde man reflexes but the years of frustration really stinks unless I have six ppl helping out. I see shammies taking me down in one to two hits. Their crits are through the roof. Along with just about any other class. Only once last year in the very early morning hours did I do average kills. Weather that be these people were sleepy, drunk, high. Whatever the case was. I still needed help on battlegrounds. I want my one hit one kill shirt back from the dm. lmao.

[@shawnmeade7251]

It’s nutty, I play sub for pvp and outlaw for m+ and raids. Looks at the details they only have to cast their bleeds 9-12 times, meanwhile I’m sweating my ass off casting between the eyes 30-40 times to even come close all the while rolling the bones and finding my bang bang windows.

[@morosanusergiu6703]

Hey…how come I haven’t seen a guide video for fury in so long 😢

This dudes personality is infectious

[@carsonkitt7651]

currently 3100 as assa. This is the most fun its ever been. Realz really did an amazing job giving the spec some life.

[@jarod466]

I plays basically the same way as it did in BFA.

[@thereal-ghost]

you're not. you're current IO shows 90+ % is outlaw lol.

[@carsonkitt7651]

@@thereal-ghost Huh? what are you smoking. I never play outlaw lol

it's fun until you mess up your kingsbane window and do 0 damage

Oh, I'm early

[@MarcelianOnline]

Enjoy the video still :P

[@jg7165]

actually starts around 3:10

[@dennisd4452]

three minutes of babble. I can't stand when everyone does this. You know who's the worst at beginning time waste? EVS, comic artist pro secrets channel. Ethan is a great 31 year comic artist yet 14 minute intro is cra cra. I'm getting off subject. I wish rogue assassin was killer with less buttons and higher dps for an olde man like myself.

[@martinchemander8624]

After the nerfs , assa have gone down to mid-top tier in raid and is now way behind in m+ compared to outlaw.

[@VanGljuk]

"The Damage" 2:44 being behind 30+k single target in m+ :D that was funny

[@NassaKB]

Hilarious!

[@Doppel95]

I've played WoW a long time and was looking to get back into it. I mained rogue and wanted to check up on it. I've tried to watch your video, but you just won't get to the point. Maybe I'm not the target audience, but all this santa stuff and so on really annoyed me. I'm not trying to be toxic or anything, just giving feedback. If this style of video works well for you, great!

[@F0rs4k3nR0gu3]

God forbid he try to joke around and make an entertaining video instead of compiling statistics you're free to look up

[@Arabian_Gulf_Angler]

I agree with you.. I felt like a nerd watching that crap so I skipped everytime he did that shit

[@josephpacker3945]

Pi

[@johannesdatblue4164]

make me shine line a star! that will bring havoc among its foes, like the "star" that killed the dinosaurs.

[@supersaiyanzero386]

Somebody like this comment and tell me which spec is best leveling from 30 to 60 solo I've been doing Outlaw just because of the hype but if there's a better one let me know like the comment because I don't see replies I see likes only

[@marcopium9025]

Dont spam crimson Tempest as shown here xd

[@mlody12345]

This viedeo is so missleading. Nowhere have you said that assa NEEDS Augmentation and PI in raid to be good. And its not nice to have. YOU NEED TO BE PRIO TARGET. And in M+ if you have tank that doesnt understand assa and will constant chain pull you will also have a bad day.

[@dreamseeker9207]

and is same for OUTLAW, if tank chainpull rip your bte open.

[@danielbayona8249]

So outlaw is not a good spec?

[@Xeanowos]

its broken

[@-k1d662]

Bro wtf are you doing making videos for each spec and explaining why are they good ? Then what is not good outlaw? 😅

[@MarcelianOnline]

outlaw is really good actually, should make a video on it also, good idea man !

[@MrJeremydb91]

And it’s broken and not giving aug evokers a bunch of their damage.

[@robertgerrard6609]

good for pve but not so good for pvp sadly

[@iqwrwq6893]

watched a 12 minutes video with 11 minutes unfunny bad jokes, and 1 min information wow...

[@nr4dd]

Outlaw still sucks to play... Seems it always will.

[@thereal-ghost]

It's not "Sooo good" lol. Anyone who runs high keys aka 20+ not the 15-19 stuff will bring an outlaw rogue 99.99% of the time. Why? Because it's literally that good compared to anything else. But Papa Ghost , this guy says Assassination is so good it must be the best. Well kids, not every poorly thrown together sponsor fueled video is right. Look at the top 500 M+ runs and oh look outlaw rogue and a few subtlety. No Crapnation to be found. Basically, if you're a casual player who doesn't run high keys, play any of the 3 specs you'll do just fine. If you want to push IO and actually get some rating stick to outlaw.
