Slafer Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 was wondering if anyone could tell me what a could rotation is for a deception assassin as I am still learning the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LudhaninRolgge Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 There's not set rotation, but a priority system. The simple ways is Discharge at 3 stacks > Ball Lightning > Assassinate > Maul (under duplicity)> Voltaic Slash > Saber Strike. This is a simple version and there's a little more depth to it in reality, but since you're still learning the game it's best you master the basics before diving into the little trics. A few things to note : - Never ever use Maul without Duplicity. It costs almost half your force bar and is not sustainable. - Maintain your stacks of Voltage at all cost. They last 15" so it should be too difficult, but maintaining them is primordial to building Discharge stacks with Ball Lightning. - Use Force Cloak to chop 1' off of Recklessness CD If you want to dive deeply in Deception, there's a guide on Dulfy. It's a tiny bit outdated, but most of it hasn't changed, just some details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossonja Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I've also just returned and trying to relearn the spec. I'm 65 and going to finish KotET and KofFE to level to 70 and catch up. I read your priority system and the Dulfy guide. I was hoping you coukd share with me a good opener granted that things proc and buff properly (i e., From Stealth: Phantom Stride *once I get it*>Spike>Assassinate*once i talent spec*>). That's about my current understanding, but I would like further explanation for if that opener is best or not and what woukd come next until you go back to the priority system.

ultimarb Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Jaek's guide is still completely relevant only real difference is they royally screwed up shadow stride. i think the shadow stride is a bit strange to use for us who played this spec for a really long time during the "off global era". but if it feels less strange every day getting used to it with those gcd's and it shouldnt be relevant for new players.

I will practice and work on it. I don't seem to see Voltaic Slash much. Does Lacerate build the charges for Ball Lightning more efficiently than VS does? I cannot seem to find a good stat priority list other than Dulfy. There is an updated Hatred guide on VULKK. It seems most dps specs aim for similar numbers now. Would I be okay following the Hatred guide on Vulkk for stat crunching? Edited January 11, 2019 by rossonja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I would not suggest going by vulkk guides, generally they’re not very realisable. I suggest using my numbers or smarty’s, I’ll edit this and put the links to both those in when I’m at my pc, for now I’ll just give you a invite to my class guide discord. It has updated guides for all classes/spec for both pub and imp, these guides are also written by people who have cleared the vast majority of PvE content in this game.
