So chilling scream should only be used as filler, rather than trying to maintain 100% uptime on it's dot? Also, I'm noticing I get riposte procs even though im at 110% accuracy, did they change how the skill works? And should I use it as filler sometimes?

Shadow Technique vs Surging Charge, something is wrong.
RankorSSGS replied to NogueiraA's topic in Shadow / Assassin
My sin is fine, but my shadow is currently getting 2 hits of shadow technique with every clairvoyant buffed psych blast instead of one. The regular rate limit seems fine, its just doing double from psych blast. It's not just the stacks either, I'm seeing double flytext from the hits themselves as well. -
You only ever use blade dance within precision if it's under the effects of zen to shorten the channel. This will allow you to fit another ability afterwards, which theoretically is always clashing blast. Also end zen early at the 0.3 second mark, since the damage has already finished by that point. Low ping and some alacrity can let you fit in an ability like dispatch or twin saber throw in immediately before activating precision to get them buffed as well. If you don't have zen available, don't bother with blade dance, and instead put clashing blast and blade rush under precision, or dispatch if it's available. The twin saber throw trick can be done with or without zen, and in fact should actually be easier without it.

Mara's and Sents need a slight survivability buff.
RankorSSGS replied to Zero_Unlimited's topic in Sentinel / Marauder
We're the strongest mdps in the game right now and you want buffs Oh, and in case you're too new to know this, these threads are pointless. BW doesn't read, much less care about anything you post here. -

Thanks for that Bant -
4.0 Combat/Carnage PvE Guides by Hayete
RankorSSGS replied to Bahadori's topic in Sentinel / Marauder
Silly question, but I've been gone for a few weeks. Why is Carnage suddenly #2 behind Annihilation instead of 4 or 5 wherever it was before 4.1? I didn't see anything in the patch notes other than equalizing the one buff between Sents and Maras. -
Be prepared for big dps nerf with patch 4.0.3
RankorSSGS replied to Divona's topic in Shadow / Assassin
Since nobody is playing Marksman much anymore, Carnage is one of, if not the top aoe spec in terms of clearing trash. Deception is never going to compare to that, doesn't necessarily need aoe buffs just because it can't compare to Carnage. Few specs can. -

Time will tell? Pfft, I'll tell you right now that Infiltration is done for. Oh well, it was fun for the whole 2 months out of 4 years the spec has been not terrible. -
The companions feel pretty much perfect now, or the would be if they stopped freezing and refusing to heal for minutes at a time.
-
Taking a PvP guide at face value and applying it to PvE is usually a bad idea. And yes, dummy rotations are wonky because they don't fight back, which is where a lot of tanks resources come from.
-
The last 4 years have made me incredibly pessimistic about anything BW says or does, but this... This was good. Thanks for the communication and action.
-
Yep, trying to do anything solo is tedious af now, not fun. Although to be fair, the devs have been screwing up like this for 4 years, I can't really be surprised anymore.

Deception is in a better spot for PvE than it has ever been since launch. Last I checked it was sitting at the 4th or 5th highest parsing spec in the game, and the 2nd highest melee spec. I do like to run Hatred for solo content such as the Star Fortresses due to it's increased AoE and the fact that Deception does lose Maul on some fights. (Seriously BW, positional requirements are an outdated mechanic, get rid of it like you did for tanks and Lethality Ops.) But as mentioned, companions can practically solo SF. I got the one and only achievement with a level 7 companion just for reference's sake.
-
I get you. I was mostly just commenting on the extreme irony of the spec's situation, since it always had the opposite problem all the way back to launch.
-
So wait, Deception is now really good in PvE because its sustaned damage is great, and is now really bad in PvP because its burst is bad? This is hilarious.

<Hates You> Garage Sale. Vanity Items, Mounts, and Gear runs!
RankorSSGS replied to TcRenno's topic in The Shadowlands
Just out of curiosity, if I want a set of regular Underworld armor instead of Kell Dragon, what can I expect to pay? -
Please elaborate, because to me it seems like a load of "we don't actually care what you guys think, we are right, we are always right, and go suck a d!ck." Not hope inspiring at all.

Marauder class representative questions/discussion thread.
RankorSSGS replied to Gudarzz's topic in Sentinel / Marauder
Because Marauders are ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE NEAR as bad off as Assassins are right now. -
Wakalord's concerns/ideas for DPS assassins/shadows
RankorSSGS replied to EatenByDistance's topic in Shadow / Assassin
Good ideas as always Waka. @Puscifer please just stop posting. -
I'm looking for a home for my assassin, DPS is where my heart is at, but I'm also practical enough to know it's a stretch. Should be 55 in the next day or 2, and have gear ready to be legacied over to ease the grind. IGN is Xeshara, I'll be keeping an eye out for you guys as well.

Pretty much. I personally find that a properly set up MM snipr actually bursts harder than either us or sorcs. The difference is that sorcs and snipers get range, and on par sustained damage. Assassins do not get this, and thus are not as effective played at a similar level. I've put an incredible effort into getting the damage output from the class that I do, and normally see myself at the top of the charts. That still doesn't change the fact that if I put the same time and effort into a sniper or smasher, my damage would blow away anything I've done as an Assassin. Against geared opponents, I still hit incredibly hard, 7-9k. But I don't do it often enough to compete.
