Any thought about the upcoming changes?

Do you think Assa will become more viable?

Initial Sims are showing everything to be viable at the moment. I made a discussion thread about the patch notes on the main forums if you'd like to come have a chat about it

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

this guide doesnt even have legion info in the rotation part. it doesnt mention the artifact ability, and talks about gorefiend and draenic potions.

Well I can't speak for whether or not you're drunk, but yes there is. I let the people responsible for updating the guides know a while ago, hopefully it will be fixed soon

The writers have been notified with a few updates, I imagine it will be fixed in the updates for the balance patch.

Ideal opener should be -  Stealth > garrote > rupture > mutilate mutilate > 5cp vanish > rupture > Vendetta > Kingsbane> exsa

In short? No.

Elaborate planning is still better.

Mastery > Crit > Vers is your stats once you get to raid gear level, and Agonising Poison as your Tier 6 talent

Is elaborate planning difficult to use? Should i try to use mutitate-evenom just to maximize it`s uptime? I tried it once over hemo and got significant dps drop, obviously i did something wrong, but if i would not be able to learn to use it properly is master poisoner that bad?

Also, can you advice please, at what percent of mastery bonus it`s beneficial to switch into Agonizing?

Afaik there is no defined point. Stats are very fluid - if you're low on Vers but have high Crit and Mastery, you'll notice an increase sooner than later. If you have a lot more Vers and  Crit than Mastery, you'll see Exsang stay stronger for longer. From what I've seen, most people seem to be switching around 110% or so, but again it varies quite a bit.

As far as EP is concerned, you probably need to focus on pooling resources more - when you build to 5-6CP, pool Energy, so when you use a Finisher you have enough Energy to get damage out in the short window afterwards.

Currently i have 10484 crit, 7042 vers and 634 mastery (0 haste). Will it be a good idea to "pool" mastery gear (not wear it until i get a good bunch of it)?

Item level (Agility) is still worth more than any secondary stat, so no that's not really worth it.

You'll passively gain a lot more Mastery as you start getting more gear, because it takes less Mastery to make 1% than it does Vers.

Since you have such a discrepancy, it might actually be worth trying out Hemo in your Tier 1, since it will help your Bleeds more; with such a low Mastery rating, you might see more benefit than the poison option, but I'm not sure how it will compete with EP

Not even close. This is so wrong I don't even know where to begin with.

I want to ask about kingsbane - is it a good idea to shot an envenom before using it (probably giving 1-2 mutilates after exsanguinate and then envenom-kingsbane) and try to keep evenom buff (mutilate-envenom-pool while buff ticks - mutilate-envenom-etc) as long as possible before the need to pool cp for rapture renew?

I think the ideal use of it is to have nearly max Energy and 6CP. Envenom > Kingsbane > Mut to 6CP > Envenom

That really doesn't matter though, it can be a Rupture before you use Kingsbane too. This is mostly due to being able to snapshot the Elaborate Planning buff (I think this will work; I haven't tested it yet but it works with Rupture so I assume it does). Then you get off as many Envenoms as possible while the Poison is running, to maximise the number of Lethal Poison applications applied and ensure higher damage

At this point in Legion, all legendary pieces are excellent for all outgoing damage, single target and aoe. 895 is BiS period.

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Blizzard have announced that the item level issues with Timewalking Caches have been fixed and that affected players have received main with the replacement Cache.
      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
