[PQR] Blinded's Assassination Rogue (Updated for 5.4)

[Scalice]

awesome profile, i like the addition of the feint toggle, any chance that vanish could be toggleable? i have tried making a profile, though my infantile programing skills make it impossible.

[Sphinctinator]

I've uploaded a new version of the sub/combat profile. there are a few errors fixed and many changes / improvements to Subtlety for 5.4

Anyone raiding as Sub should re-download (the combat and assassination aren't changed much)

this is wonderful, but the problem i have with all sub profiles is that out of no where it stops using backstab completely and just spams hemorrhage as the main combo point builder, even when i am behind the boss.

maybe make hemorage a toggle? idk.

Probably because the Hemorrhage function is checking PQR_NotBehindTarget() which by default checks for any facing errors in the last 3 seconds, so if you get one failed Backstab it's going to Hemo for the next 3 seconds. It needs to be changed to specify a smaller interval like PQR_NotBehindTarget(0.1).

Vitalic if i knew you in real life i would buy you a drink.

I am in a 7/14 heroic guild and i ranked FIVE times last night using your Profiles.

All three combat/ass/sub profiles are top tier. Close to world class dps. Lag will lower your dps a bit, but seriously.

Bursting over 1m DPS with all three specs currently in a 564 ilevel.

That's pretty awesome, although I can take no credit for the Subtlety/Combat profiles, starl1te has been doing a great job keeping those up to date. We must also remember the great work Blinded did during Cataclysm on these profiles as he laid all the groundwork. When I first started looking at coding profiles in Cata I looked at what was already out there and Blinded's were head and shoulders above the rest, and they have stood the test of time too.

[starl1te]

vanish is togglable, it's on the same toggle as Cooldowns (R Shift).

I haven't had major issues with BS and Hemo this tier, though I remember some problems before on bosses like Tortos and Magaera that either have a very small zone you are considered behind or just let you BS from the front. Maybe Vitalic's solution fixes that, but personally going thru the entire raid BS seems to be working normally, it's where it should be in damage logs. If a few extra Hemos go out it's not a disaster, hemo does pretty good damage.

hey starlte can i suggest you on your combat profile, can you add rupture when use balde furry thanks

[lhar4679]

[starl1te]

negative. if your goal is to do less dps you can just turn off PQR and alt-tab out for a bit

vanish looks to be taken out of the rotation for combat, if you want it just put it back someplace, like right after KS/AR/SB. personally i don't vanish for combat, it's a very iffy dps gain. in fact i seriously doubt that it is since it probably resets the swing timer and even pauses all dps for a bit.

[lhar4679]

ok thanks starl1te

[smallhail]

starl1te I was just curious, is there a way to toggle only killing spree on fights where using the ability might result in death?

[starl1te]

you can take KS out. just make a copy of the rotation and use that on whatever fights you want.

personally I don't use auto-CDs in combat precisely because it gets you killed. honestly I can't think of a boss, especially on heroic, where you can even get thru a fight with auto-ks without something horrible happening.

AR is off gcd so it's easy to press manually, and I have KS on the action bar with a SHIFT keybind (eg, shift-5). since shift pauses, it's easy to manually use KS when safe.

vit is there a way to auto tricks of the trade to a focus target?

Hey, it already has Tricks of the Trade last time I checked :confused:

[starl1te]

speaking of tricks it hasn't been working that well for a while. maybe it's my imagination but in Cata and maybe first tier of Panda it actually worked when the focus target is dead / out of range / etc. Now when you go into a different phase (eg Norushen), your tricks buddy dies, or not in line of sight, out of range etc... the rotation just stops. it gets stuck trying to tricks the ineligible target, until you remove the focus. and every time it takes me a while to figure out wtf is happening, very infuriating

long story short, in my experience the

and not UnitIsDead("focus") and not PQR_IsOutOfSight("focus", 1)

aren't working that great. especially the lineoutofsight one. and they used to work fine.
