idk

#

sins always been kinda rando if its good or not

#

and usually suffers from being too good in pve and getting pvp nerfed also as a result when its strong

#

my best guess would be sin is the best "Scaling" rogue spec with externals, so when its tuned well in pve, it gets externals and becomes very very strong (literally this season) then the knee jerk overnerf it

#

and dont seperate the nerfs between pvp/pve

#

so it just ends up bad

steel scarab
#

I think I blame the PvE people. They cried that Dragon Tempered Blades was too strong and required no additional buttons to press (as though pressing 1 more active button is actually "hard"). And now DTB, which should always have been a more PvP-centric spec due to having two utility poisons, has been nerfed into the ground and is basically unplayable unless you're using a weird Fan of Knives crit based build.

#

So now, they've "balanced" our entire middle capstone around magical PvE numbers and made it so the whole path is just worthless in PvP

#

They should delete Dashing Scoundrel (worthless talent), put DTB where Poison Bomb is, and make Poison Bomb an active ability that you have to meet some criteria to be able to use. So it's on demand burst instead of the random nonsense

#

If they move DTB to where Poison Bomb is, it would create a lot of new interesting builds imo

#

They also need to buff the crap out of the choice node of Iron Wire. Who, in any content, is taking Intent to Kill?

halcyon timber
#

That’s the step one w a garrote on target? Id imagine casters it is solid. Im no assassin though

#

There is a point to every talent and not everything can be mega ultimate f you damage though. The talents are cumulative in building a character for desired effects.

steel scarab
#

It's only a 33% reduction

halcyon timber
#

If timed well and patient then it “can” be good

steel scarab
#

What would you rather have against a frost mage? A garrote that silences and also reduces their damage? Or a conditional, slightly reduced Shadowstep cooldown?

#

There's no contest

#

Against any caster

#

Iron Wire 10/10 times

halcyon timber
#

Garrote silences either way

steel scarab
#

It absolutely does not?

halcyon timber
#

IW is what a Dr?

steel scarab
#

Read Iron Wire

halcyon timber
#

It does for 3 sec no? IW increases it to 5 or some jazz. Been a long time .

steel scarab
#

To my knowledge

#

Garrote absolutely does not silence unless you talent it

#

Are you like gaslighting me or something

jolly sierra
#

wtf

halcyon timber
#

Back in the day out of the box, garrote silenced for 3 sec

jolly sierra
#

eridian, ye, garrote just silence w wire atm

#

since DF

halcyon timber
#

Well shit

steel scarab
#

It never did that. You had to spec 2/2 Improved Garrote even back in the day

#

Unless maybe after WOTLK

#

Idk I didn't play after WOTLK

halcyon timber
#

A lot has changed it seems

steel scarab
#

So anyway the TLDR here is

halcyon timber
#

That is balance in the end of the day though so shrug

steel scarab
#

What on earth is the point of Intent to Kill?

#

It's worthless

#

Needs a huge buff

halcyon timber
#

Melee teams and for pve kids dunno

#

Used to be able to garrote dks and they got effed over

steel scarab
#

What does it do against melee teams? Iron Wire is still better. It reduces their damage

#

I implore you

halcyon timber
#

Dunno as i havent had garrote in years

steel scarab
#

Read Iron Wire

halcyon timber
#

Pipe down a bit my man, being a bit charged up.

steel scarab
halcyon timber
#

Situationally, everything has a use. It is up to the rogue to make use of talents.

steel scarab
#

I mean you're saying stuff, with conviction, that is objectively wrong

#

Don't tell me to pipe down lol

jolly sierra
#

lol

#

intent to kill is very good btw, the problem is talent positioning to chose

steel scarab
#

Right, so they should either move it, or give it a second benefit like Iron Wire has, so people can make a meaningful decision

halcyon timber
#

No sir, pipe down. Discuss without having friction.

steel scarab
#

Versus, just a completely dead talent

halcyon timber
#

Haven’t been assassination in years or had garrote

jolly sierra
#

just move it out

steel scarab
#

There's no friction. You seem upset that I'm explaining to you about a talent you haven't read

halcyon timber
#

Dunno if they can as they prob won’t

jolly sierra
#

and u are mad af because he didnt mean to know something its easy to clarify

halcyon timber
#

They “just” worked on rogues and our dev is busy helping his other projects surely

jolly sierra
#

even with conviction can be wrong

#

but isnt the way to talk if u wanna convince him

steel scarab
#

I'm not mad at all. What did I say that made it seem like I'm mad? I genuinely was questioning reality when he started saying it silences 3 seconds at baseline

jolly sierra
#

em

#

u dont look calmed here

steel scarab
#

So you think it's okay to tell someone to pipe down, but not okay to respond "don't tell me to pipe down?"

jolly sierra
#

if i wanna finish a discussion, ye

#

he wasnt mean to arguing

steel scarab
#

Telling someone "pipe down" is aggressive.

Asking "are you gaslighting me?" was a genuine question. Like, he said incorrectly multiple times that I was wrong about what Iron Wire does, and about the baseline of Garrote. To the point that I was seriously wondering if I was wrong

jolly sierra
#

are u telling that is aggressive?

#

glad u never met the mad guy from years ago who literal insulted u for disagreeing

#

i even forgot his name, glad is gone

#

im sure you would be his target in that case

#

ah yeah, was called ziggly

#

what a prick

peak agate
#

I come back to the chat and see the conversation shift lmao damn.

jolly sierra
#

i would dare in say

#

pvp thread become better since shadowlands

#

about interaction and friendliness

steel scarab
#

Anyway. The TLDR here. They should buff Intent to Kill. Maybe just have it be a flat 33% cooldown reduction without the Garrote prerequisite

queen sable
steel scarab
#

It still would be worse than Iron Wire in basically all content, but at least it would be an improvement

jolly sierra
#

intent is good

#

even without buffs

steel scarab
#

Nobody uses it though

halcyon timber
#

Mobility talents help alleviate not having it from the class tree as well

jolly sierra
#

positioning is the issue

#

but the talent itself is very good

halcyon timber
#

I do get what you’re saying though

jolly sierra
#

that is the reason was used pre rework

steel scarab
#

Right, positioning is absolutely the issue

#

They should put it somewhere else in the tree, perhaps

peak agate
#

Or make it a pvp talent again or was that something else

steel scarab
#

@peak agate I think it did used to be a PvP talent

jolly sierra
#

i would take DfA and make it baseline

#

instead a pvp talent tbh

steel scarab
#

But I think it was if you Shadowstep to a teammate

#

So it wasn't called Intent to Kill

halcyon timber
#

That was silhouette

#

I think

peak agate
#

Dfa can be in the class tree

steel scarab
#

Could be, I can't remember

#

What's DFA?

halcyon timber
#

Intent to kill was with vendetta or something

#

Death from above is dfa

steel scarab
#

Ah

queen sable
steel scarab
#

Yeah, that's the one

surreal barn
#

You should theoretically have to choose between a caster talent/melee talent

#

You aren’t ever dropping iron wire.

halcyon timber
#

Garrote used to prevent shouts from warrior too, dunno if it does now

jolly sierra
#

dfa makes u inmune to cc in animation and gets u to the target regardless teleports or pushbacks

steel scarab
#

What's the range on DFA?

jolly sierra
surreal barn
#

If the step allowed a cd reduction by stepping your own healer to GTFO that would be nice

steel scarab
#

Maybe I should start using that against mages

halcyon timber
#

Like 15 yards

#

And follows them if if they blink

steel scarab
#

15 yards is okay, it has a cooldown though right?

halcyon timber
#

Well 15 to activate it but once you leap you follow tf out of someone. (Warlock port)

steel scarab
#

@halcyon timber pretty sure silencing still prevents shouts

halcyon timber
#

So you cross the delaware pretty much

#

Can immune stormbolt and shid too

#

W dfa

steel scarab
#

Interesting

halcyon timber
#

Just a really well times atk

jolly sierra
#

or bypass ursol vortex

halcyon timber
#

Yeh or paralysis etc

peak agate
#

They key to mages is watching for displacements and time whatever it's called

halcyon timber
#

Yeah purple arcane fart cloud

peak agate
#

They can't displaced after 8 seconds

steel scarab
#

Can mages iceblock out of silence?

peak agate
#

So they gotta commit

halcyon timber
#

Nope

steel scarab
#

How about stuns?

halcyon timber
#

Yea

steel scarab
#

Thought so, unfortunate

halcyon timber
#

Only evoker can so stuff while silenced

#

Do

#

I think its emerald communion

jolly sierra
#

blink bypasses stuns

peak agate
#

Most take shimmer

surreal barn
#

Vs mage I find myself taking 30 second sprint/smoke bomb/hemotoxin

steel scarab
#

Oh definitely, Blink has done that since release

jolly sierra
#

ye i know they took shimmer

#

imo blink is better in zugzug

steel scarab
#

When a castbar of a caster goes gray, I've noticed that means they're not interruptible, is that an ability they're using that causes that or is it a DR of some sort?

halcyon timber
#

Precognition is active or a class talent

peak agate
#

On mage not sure. Maybe it's precog

jolly sierra
#

precog is an embellishment

halcyon timber
#

Such as shaman spirit walk

#

Can be immune to interrupts bit not silence

#

Etc

peak agate
#

Shamen gotta spec in to tho

queen sable
halcyon timber
surreal barn
#

They should not be allowed to have precog if already silenced from same school

#

Double kicks in shuffle suck

jolly sierra
#

i think they can bubble in silence

#

i recall

#

only thing really fucks a bubble is pally itself

halcyon timber
#

XD

jolly sierra
#

with GCD

steel scarab
#

I don't think paladins can bubble if you kick another holy spell or if silenced

#

Gf always complains she can't bubble because holy locked

#

She might be gaslighting me also though lol

#

(Jk)

languid ravine
#

nah you cant bubble during holy luck

steel scarab
#

Didn't think so

jolly sierra
#

silence ==/== interrupting

peak agate
steel scarab
#

Can they bubble if silenced though?

jolly sierra
#

we can test it

#

but i need an euro guy

halcyon timber
#

Fheudydhshehe - paladin keyboard while silenced

steel scarab
#

I'm at work lol

jolly sierra
#

euro, not american

#

im in europe

steel scarab
#

Ahh

peak agate
#

You can use bubble through most things. But I can't recall being silenced and bubbling

#

I have fucked myself over because of the debuff

#

But my ret experience is limited

gleaming pawn
#

Almost positive you can bubble while silenced as long as said silence did not lock you on Holy

steel scarab
#

It would be helpful if there was a reference we could read for these sort of questions

halcyon timber
#

Usually wowpedia

#

Stays up to date

steel scarab
#

In vanilla, that kind of reference existed. In fact, I just googled "can I use divine shield if I'm silenced" and I got a 2009 answer. But I think the game has changed so many times, people gave up trying to write guides

halcyon timber
#

Yeh incap roar cant be evaded as of this patch but can be cloaked

#

They changed it (example)

gilded gulch
#

pallies used to have autobubble in legion

steel scarab
#

It makes sense it wouldn't be able to be evaded. It's a yell

gilded gulch
#

and if they got holy locked it wouldnt trigger

steel scarab
#

I'm not sure it makes sense that you can Cloak it

#

Because again, it's a roar

halcyon timber
#

/shrug i just work here man

waxen meteor
#

god those ape warriros

steel scarab
#

No I'm glad you're telling me

gilded gulch
#

and ofc if you play with a priest sometimes you can instant md bubble

waxen meteor
#

insisted to throw 2s stun at open to kill target

steel scarab
#

Just weird

gilded gulch
#

and kill in dr cheap

waxen meteor
#

you told them not to

#

thye went nope

halcyon timber
#

Dale yeh brover

waxen meteor
#

Single Player DR when

#

These fucking dumb ass play and share DR stuff will kill wow one day

halcyon timber
waxen meteor
#

me war me charge me 2s stun

#

i am just playing my zug dh alt so i didn't care that much

#

but still it makes me headachae

halcyon timber
steel scarab
#

I think they should just make DR affect yourself, and idk

waxen meteor
#

yeah i know

peak agate
#

As a warrior alt, I stun the healer because me stunning a rogue is unnecessary when he feels my 250k crits

steel scarab
#

Maybe shorten disable durations

waxen meteor
#

blizzard dev doesn't have a ball

steel scarab
#

Like

#

Think about it

waxen meteor
#

they dare not to stay with what's right

steel scarab
#

Why is Kidney Shot a 6 second stun?

#

It could be 3 seconds in PvP

#

Then

waxen meteor
#

people cry

halcyon timber
#

They already shortened cc and the next is 2 drs and then full immunity with the way things are going

waxen meteor
#

i no ball, i change to whatever people say

steel scarab
#

DR wouldn't need to be shared

waxen meteor
#

and i have no brain, so i make everything equal

#

then there's no cry

steel scarab
#

And they could decrease HP and healing

waxen meteor
#

as i said months ago

#

it's just a move to deal with crying

#

in a ballless way

#

not a real design

#

but yeah, dead game, who cares

#

no money no budget no people no brain

halcyon timber
#

Until us rogues are npcs selling bread in dalaran, no one will be happy.

waxen meteor
#

deal with cry, make 200k more dollars

#

done

#

but seriously, single player DR is needed

steel scarab
#

Best idea I've ever had lol

waxen meteor
#

sharing dr with any fucking random brain dead people is just killing your love of the game

steel scarab
#

And maybe

#

Hear me out for a second guys

waxen meteor
#

it's like a 2002 design

peak agate
#

No game should designed behind the hardcore player base.

steel scarab
#

Hold on

waxen meteor
#

we are post 2020

waxen meteor
peak agate
#

Something vocal minority

steel scarab
#

I'm just imagining like battlegrounds and stuff

gilded gulch
#

mostly just bad in shuffle

waxen meteor
#

and wow keep tuning arena based on top 0.1% player

halcyon timber
jolly sierra
#

idea owl moment

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
#

And we are back to sq 1

steel scarab
#

Of like 4 rogues chain stunning the healer with their own DR stuns.

TO FIX THIS: PvP trinket breaks all CC and, if you are a healer, makes you IMMUNE to ALL CC for 5 seconds

gilded gulch
#

play rmp and no one can dr your stuns

#

except yourself

halcyon timber
waxen meteor
peak agate
#

The suggestion is no Dr but less overall cc. Which would decrease the button bloat for those who can't handle it

gilded gulch
#

no idea

waxen meteor
#

i mean i would like to swap my mage to Kul Tiras

gilded gulch
#

that race sucks

#

go nelf

halcyon timber
#

Most pve ass pvp ive ever seen is in ffxiv due to pvers

gilded gulch
halcyon timber
jolly sierra
#

go panda

steel scarab
#

If they implement my changes and it leads to more PvP subscribers, I expect a 2% financial cut

#

Just saying

waxen meteor
#

it doesn't work on mage

#

same as roc

halcyon timber
#

XD

waxen meteor
#

i can't deal with a roc mage

#

it looks not knowing spells

gilded gulch
#

go nelf with wolfcut

peak agate
#

Racials should be disabled in rank pvp. I don't know why that shit still a thing.

gilded gulch
#

like 90% of nelf players

steel scarab
#

@peak agate I'm a night elf and I agree.

waxen meteor
steel scarab
#

It's a cancerous way to get people to pay for race changes

jolly sierra
waxen meteor
gilded gulch
#

racials matter alot less than people think they do

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

lol

gilded gulch
#

i was literally a tauren in s1

#

....

steel scarab
#

No one would play night elf anymore

gilded gulch
#

nelf looks the best

waxen meteor
#

NGL, I think NE story/lores are a big annoying

gilded gulch
#

unless you play male nelf

#

then you just weirdge

halcyon timber
#

Dunno a lot love kaldorei lore

peak agate
#

People should play w.e avatar they want lol

jolly sierra
#

elves in general just cries about their shit after a lot of years passing

#

racist af and looking down even in allies

waxen meteor
#

Tyrande seems very political correctness lady....

gilded gulch
#

female nelf looks good in alot of mogs

halcyon timber
#

Dunno forever a blood elf man. Aint ever changing

jolly sierra
gilded gulch
#

idk who plays male nelf tbh

waxen meteor
#

yeah female nelf and belf are best

jolly sierra
#

i can see why she become in love w bob

waxen meteor
#

and know plays the male

gilded gulch
#

i got my first mount as belf when orc was at its strongest

#

races are honesly an excuse

steel scarab
#

@gilded gulch I'm a male night elf lol

gilded gulch
#

for most players

peak agate
#

Bob is handsome. He has a beard that not available to the player race

halcyon timber
#

Im a dude too

waxen meteor
jolly sierra
#

bob is the ultimate gentlemen

gilded gulch
halcyon timber
#

Aint gonna be a girl

jolly sierra
#

we should learn more about him

#

to turn into chads

steel scarab
#

@gilded gulch my OG rogue in 2002 was a NE male

waxen meteor
#

when i first started tbc

#

i never thought i would play a girl char

gilded gulch
#

eww

waxen meteor
#

but, you cannot pick be male

gilded gulch
#

i think my first char

#

was male cow druid

#

XD

waxen meteor
#

male cow is fine

#

male necro was best

peak agate
#

Look at this stud. Why can't my elf have this beard?

waxen meteor
#

it can compete even with be girl

gilded gulch
#

tbh thats when only horde race that could be druid was tauren

#

and female tauren gives off middle aged mom vibe

steel scarab
#

My fiance is very mad alliance paladins can't be elves

peak agate
#

MAJESTIC I SAY

waxen meteor
#

male necro rogue -> your skill level +20

#

it just feels smoother

gilded gulch
#

male undead was the default for years ye

steel scarab
#

@peak agate she actually quit for a while because she was so upset about it lol

gilded gulch
#

i played fem orc with the odd week i just went male to go nude mog with horrific visions head mog

#

for the wtf factor

waxen meteor
halcyon timber
steel scarab
#

Oh man, do they really!? She will be so pleased

gilded gulch
#

male orc is alright as long as you make them look as much a neanderthal as possible

#

male nelf just looks insanely stupid

waxen meteor
#

you need to put a lot armor on orc

#

male

peak agate
#

Bro I just want a male blood elf beard. I have a beard on real life. I've had that toon since TBC. Let me get some beard textures blizzard

waxen meteor
#

otherwise you look like iq25

jolly sierra
#

tbh in games where i RP or feel im into the character i go as male

gilded gulch
jolly sierra
#

if i just play and im thinking im outside

#

then i play fem

gilded gulch
#

or icc tier sack

waxen meteor
#

but man, i felt so bad with my orc male hunter in SL

#

i felt so not willing to log on simply because of the look

#

transgendered in DF

steel scarab
#

Yeah orcs do not look good

waxen meteor
#

and played s2 with her

steel scarab
#

They should make some Orc options that look like Handsome Squidward

#

For the aesthetic chads

peak agate
#

My shamen is a brown orc. I only made it because I unlocked the race and I didn't have the class 😂

steel scarab
#

Imagine seeing this on the login screen

#

Plus Hardiness racial

#

100% orc representation

waxen meteor
#

I tried to make my characters a bit lore related

jolly sierra
#

they should add jaw options

waxen meteor
#

like i really can't do a orc mage

jolly sierra
#

to have chad bone face structure

peak agate
#

I think orcs should be more monstrous. Right now they are just jacked green humans with sharp teeth.

waxen meteor
#

and terrible back

gilded gulch
#

fem orc looks fine

#

people who play male orc straightback are a diff breed

waxen meteor
#

yeah fem orc is very good

jolly sierra
#

fem orc looks nice

waxen meteor
#

i want to swap my hunter to Mag'har Orc, but those standard orc race benefits are so good for hunter

#

5% pet dmg

#

Stun reduction

#

and better burst skill

halcyon timber
#

Ive heard enough, nerf dh

waxen meteor
#

kekdog i am literally zugging with dh alt now

jolly sierra
#

i did race switch w my 1st monk

halcyon timber
#

XD

jolly sierra
#

was regular and always wanted a maghar

peak agate
#

Who doesn't love the crack infused play style of Dh?!

jolly sierra
#

did it in BFA after unlocking the race

waxen meteor
#

imagine i was complaining about war threw 2s stun on SP when i play dh

#

tbh DH design was SOOOOOOOOOOO bad in SL

#

it made my first return of wow after 10 years fail

#

just beacuse how boring DH was

halcyon timber
#

SP can slam, dunno what changes they received recently

#

They came outta hiding

steel scarab
#

Man I'm excited to hopefully get some Mastery gear. I hope I have time to do that quest today after work

waxen meteor
waxen meteor

literally pve changes

halcyon timber

Maka sensa

peak agate
halcyon timber
#

Hpal strategy

waxen meteor
#

i do want to try hpal later this season

halcyon timber
#

There was a dude that was doing that last ssn

#

Something silly like very very low versatility

#

And was crushing

peak agate
#

On my human rogue. I'm running double DPS trinkets. I do have slightly more verse but like 40% crit

#

That one is like 1755

steel scarab
#

@peak agate I have 34% versatility, 25% crit, 12% haste, 30% mastery. The most cursed stats possible

#

No idea how I'm 1750 lol

peak agate
#

My mastery is like 65 on human and 79 on the elf

#

I have like 24% haste on my main rogue which makes everything so much smoother

#

Mastery gives you more bang for your buck in terms of damage and you're squishy regardless. That extra 10-15% reduction doesn't seem so noticable to me. But people like playing the same shit and the same way. I play this game for fun.

jolly sierra
#

if not, i put some glasses

steel scarab
#

@peak agate that's why I kinda let my stats go all over the place, I figured I could kill people with whatever. But I feel like I'm hitting a wall

peak agate
jolly sierra
halcyon timber
#

Love that restaurant though

peak agate
#

And sometimes my healer plays fist weaver so he's being annoying.

halcyon timber
#

Aggression all day boy

surreal barn
steel scarab
#

@peak agate this is solo shuffle, so idk if that's easier or harder

#

Definitely more unpredictable

halcyon timber
peak agate
#

I found solo shuffle easier than 2s. Because 2s is full of obnoxious comps

#

just gross

steel scarab
#

@peak agate that's what I was running into with my fiance. Just every comp above 1500 was awful

jolly sierra
#

the ones which are worldwide hated are vulpera

steel scarab
#

Very hard to climb as Assassination + Holy paladin

halcyon timber

#

@halcyon timber aye, they don't help at all though. They almost always kill her first ☹️

peak agate
#

Just to be clear I never got 1800 in SS. I always got to 1750 and tapped out because I didn't have the patience to wait 30 mins when I could do 2s. That and my MMR was high as fuck for some reason

waxen meteor

Double 5-1s

that panda war pic is nice

that looks like a monk

halcyon timber
#

Yeah the dude pandaren looks sick af

waxen meteor

yeah could be amonk

jolly sierra
#

imo males needs a remake

halcyon timber
#

The artists do a great job

#

Its hard to make everyone happy.

halcyon timber
jolly sierra
#

the problem w male panda its than look very very disproportional

#

compared to fem

#

so makes a huge difference

halcyon timber
#

Yeh

peak agate
#

Male pandas were designed to have the physique of the average wow player

halcyon timber
#

More stoic stance and body like the photo would have been sick

jolly sierra
#

average lol player

halcyon timber
#

Lord

jolly sierra
#

or like this guy

#

playing wow

peak agate
#

I never met someone in real life who played lol

jolly sierra
#

fems are curvy, and looks very proportional in body

peak agate
#

Even my current gf has tried wow and she's doesn't even play videogames

jolly sierra
#

here we have a lot of lol players

peak agate
#

In Spain or Europe in general?

jolly sierra
#

im in chile rn

#

ppl even asks u without know u

if u wanna play a lol match

peak agate

Speaking of mage disarmers. I got disarmed on my mage in 2v2 and thought about this chat. I forgot to mention it earlier.

waxen meteor
#

i have been enjoying control is king in 2s

#

i think it's too good in 2s

peak agate

My 2v2 alt experience has been a blast

waxen meteor

I even swap bomb out sometimes

peak agate

I like control is king

waxen meteor

yeah in 2s it's so valuable

Remove male Sindorei though

I really like to open with cheat in 2s with sin

then control is king gets slice and dice of whole game

Ive been seeing some random chicks on Twitter cosplaying as elfs. I guess the algorithm put two and two together.

also the energy return is great at 2s

halcyon timber
waxen meteor
#

it's easy to open with sap A -> cs B, garrote B, bone B, 5 cp and we can burst B with Rupture/shive/DM or kidney A

#

and at that moment we also have slice and dice up

From an artist perspective, it’s really hard to make every armor and fit it to new bodies

Nope im cool man

Landing kills without bomb sucks tho

You can just do a 1cp s&D and refresh with envenom

I am not sure about you guys, when i do 2s as sin, I try to kill healer way more often than dps

those are the biggest bungalos thic boobas ive ever seen

hunter mog is good this season?

tribal badger

idk

but i play hunter fairly often so

i shouldnt miss it

#

lets check

willow valley
waxen meteor
#

lock one is fairly good

waxen meteor
# waxen meteor

i basically see no reason to transmog to whatever other set

#

current season seems quite solid

tribal badger
waxen meteor
#

and fit the log in screen well

tribal badger
#

eh

#

its mid

#

got some usable pieces tho

waxen meteor
#

it's just alright

tribal badger
#

shoulders would probably be ok on a race with less shoulder armor scaling

#

and it has a nice scale mail chest

#

worth unocking to mix with other pieces

meanwhile warrior set is like

looks like i ran into a wall

def will push 1k6 with lock

former warr elite looked good too

and was easy to fit

tribal badger
#

think paladin set is decent this season hmm

#

paladin and hunter gotta do

#

need to farm some conq for boxes cba grinding from scratch again

#

i got 1800 in full honor gear on unholy cause that spec was so bonkers

waxen meteor
#

pally set has always been not bad

tribal badger
#

but seems more annoying on hunter

waxen meteor
#

S8 itself is super good

#

WLK end of pac set

tribal badger
#

hows druid set this season i have a character boost sitting unused

#

LOL nvm

willow valley
#

i just have one question, why does everybody hate this transmog

waxen meteor
#

kekdog my druid boosted to lv60 and sit at new map entrance

tribal badger
#

giga set

waxen meteor
#

and i failed to figure out how to play feral

#

just have 20 skills that does rupture

#

so lost

#

i will probably end up doing boomie

#

but it feels wrong a rogue didn't level up with feral

peak agate
#

I think the hardest for me to get 1800 would be druid and evoker. But I'm already 1600 on evoker so it can't be that bad...can it?

Replenish-able toxin pouches is the lore reason

Ill never get rid of them bad boys

but

#

the poisons are a proc?

halcyon timber
#

Yes sir

willow valley
#

k

halcyon timber
#

X % to do whatever you use

#

I think like 30%?

willow valley
#

30?

#

damnç

steel scarab
#

30% base

willow valley
#

thats why i feel they dont exist

halcyon timber
#

Yeh still good with how fast we swing

willow valley
#

too low

halcyon timber
#

Crippling and wound are up very frequently

steel scarab
#

I feel like they nerfed poison damage, could be wrong

halcyon timber
#

And shiv makes that bad boy suffer

#

Over the years yes

steel scarab
#

With DTB my poison damage was a huge portion of overall damage before

#

Now it's like nothing

halcyon timber
#

Ohh gotcha

steel scarab
#

Even with tier set

halcyon timber
#

Yeah to account for total view of assassination

#

The sum of all for x damage i suppose

steel scarab
#

It just sort of begs the question, why bother with the +10% weapon poison damage talents

#

They should change them to be all poison damage

halcyon timber
#

Because of stuff like lethal dose probably

steel scarab
#

Would be much more attractive as they'd buff Envenom, Poison Bomb, and the mutilate poison talent

halcyon timber
#

Instead of deadly psn meme’ing

#

Shiv for 20% and lethal dose et al directly buffs envenom and such instead of those talents/ abilities directly for a more customizable approach.

#

Prob some giant formula the engineers work on all the stinkin time instead of over saturation of 1 ability hijacking a tree.

steel scarab
#

I mean I would argue that Lethal Dose, Deathmark, and Venomous Wounds hijack the entire tree

#

They balance all the abilities around these, and there's no viable build in any sort of content that skips any of these 3

#

They're not real talent choices, just the illusion of choice

#

Should just make them all baseline and replace all 3 with utility talents that might keep us alive better

gilded gulch
#

well venomous wounds has been a part of assa for years

#

spec kind of would barely function if it didnt exist

steel scarab
#

Right

#

So just make it baseline

#

And add a choice node, like 5% vitality or 5% poison application, idk

#

Offhand poison application*

halcyon timber
#

Part of power comes from resource management regarding classes, important talents like that won’t be base line. That’s how we ended up with garbage MOP trees.

#

Dunno as we aren’t developers but there probably is a gaming edict they follow

steel scarab
#

You could create really interesting talent choices though. Imagine if instead of something benign, like I just suggested, it was instead a choice node like,

Increase offhand poison application by 20%

Or

The cooldown of Sprint and Evasion are reduced by 30%

halcyon timber
#

Utility comes from class tree

#

And hero talents probably DO exactly that

#

Trickster as an example will probably make assassins really cool in small and meaningful ways to customize their kit

steel scarab
#

Uh idk man, looking at the subtlety tree, there are an awful lot of talents that do not increase DPS at all, but instead, increase survivability or utility

#

Let me count them

halcyon timber
#

A singular talent cannot have too much weight but if several cool bonuses are selected then it becomes solid without restricting an individual

#

Yeah there is but we aren’t the devs who decided on that, us subtlety rogues always had a lot of tricks in our bag anyway.

steel scarab
#

There are 8 talents in the subtlety tree that in no way improve DPS, but rather provide utility or survivability.

#

I'm just saying, the blanket statement "oh all the utility talents belong in the class tree" is totally false

#

Maybe they should put some in Assassination since we are made of paper

halcyon timber
#

Hard to say truly as kits are different

#

Focuses are also different in the scheme of things. Probably also based on feedback where pvpers aint the focus either.

#

We did ask for assassins to get more toys back when feedback was looked at but they decided not to and so all we can do is request again down the road

worthy crag
#

does reverberation/goremaw/rotten build feel better than dark brea & tea?

halcyon timber
#

It is subjective

worthy crag
#

i rather not regem all my slots just to test it

halcyon timber
#

Tea and all that jazz is what people went back to as it is just much smoother without being a 1 min class

#

People learned to just stun the rogue or disarm them etc during reprimand cheese (as they should have been doing this entire time)

worthy crag
#

being my salty self, most people never really "learn" to do that ever

gilded gulch
#

sin having access to dance was a huge utility increase

#

as is

worthy crag
#

they just have weakaura configured to yell at 95 decibels when a rogue has activated dance or stunned a healer

@halcyon timber in arena, Iron Stomach only increases healing from Crimson Vial. Occasionally but very rarely a health stone boost. Subtlety gets just a flat 8% healing increase lol

@gilded gulch idk man, the longer games go and the more dampening there is, the more relevant that talent is

wanton breach

gilded gulch
#

play aggro we win or lose in 3mins

halcyon timber
#

Proper

steel scarab
#

I assume you skip that talent then

#

Lol

#

But I was talking more about solo shuffle

gilded gulch
#

theres not much to take

#

shuffle is bad for the mental

#

its great if you wanna tilt

halcyon timber
#

Its a small effect regardless, it isn’t supposed to be nuts

#

Its 2% on vial without ms

steel scarab
#

Right. My point is that it's very strong in SS, a healing based game mode that has been altered to create extremely long matches

halcyon timber
#

Add in other stuff then yeh but also ms and dampening thst affects everybody including the wendys drive through worker

steel scarab
#

It's affecting subtlety disproportionately due to that talent

#

8% is not small!

halcyon timber
#

Id wager sanguine blades on every target with rupture and such is helpful to assassins

#

Can’t discount the leech there

gilded gulch
#

8% is small

#

idk what shuffle games you're playing that get prolonged

steel scarab
#

Well, right, except subtlety has the same leech talent, and leech is halved in PvP

#

Wait, is the 8% healing talent halved in PvP?

#

If so then it's not that bad.

gilded gulch
#

honestly

#

last time i played shuffle we won or lost rounds by 2nd blind

#

blinding healer first go is decent in shuffle

#

alot of healers kinda pepega trinket it even if theres not much threat

halcyon timber
#

90sec trinky def encourages us to fight faster

gilded gulch
#

yeah was funnier s1 with 2min trinket

halcyon timber
#

Yeh heh

gilded gulch
#

i just did shuffle first month for my enchant though

#

then said this game mode stinks

#

before rets infested the entire ladder

halcyon timber
#

Shid was nuts for sure

gilded gulch
#

numbing poison being a haste debuff

#

since it was merged with classic client

halcyon timber
#

M+ ret in ss every match

Assa doesn't really fit the shuffle meta either I swore off it. IN 3s you need someone that will be targeted more than you and 2s you alright jsut play with a rdruid or fistweaver tbh

#

Why I play with a lock in 3s

halcyon timber
#

I wouldn’t be surprised if trickster tree decreased cd of cloak evasion for assass in the hero talents by a bit (legion artifact i think and old school trees)

exotic dove
#

Assa needs anything tbh

#

bout to probably afk until end of season with some friends

#

I was winning lobbies as Sub but I feel more like a cc bot now so its not as fun

#

Sub actually did feel like it fit the shuffle meta though mainly because it wasn't made of wet toilet paper armor

halcyon timber
#

C’est la vie for rogues man

exotic dove
#

Was watching Supatease do the 2400 challenge as Assa and it showcases how bad that spec is

#

halcyon timber
#

I wouldn’t trust a non rogue about anything. Id ask shade when hes around if anything.

exotic dove
#

Well I mean Im higher than Supa Rogue is and its basically the same experience for me. And EU is different from NA I watch shade videos

#

I never see the shuffle match ups he gets or see rank 1 when they do shuffles see those match ups

#

on their streams

#

I would kill to get his match ups

halcyon timber
#

Yeh prob ye ol snipers snipin

exotic dove
#

I would be much higher if I got the lobbies the EU folks did

#

but My ratings are in 2s and 3s as assa this season so its fine

#

Just using shuffle to get conquest for alts boxes and if I win I win and if I lose I lose

#

Shuffle not worth until end of season as assa

jolly sierra
#

EU is harder than US imo

#

in PvP

#

ppl is way more tryharder in the bad way

exotic dove
#

Its subjective to the person I guess but when I watch EU streams its like if I had those lobbies I would win. NA has some dumb lobbies

chrome schooner
#

Everyone has the same lobbies

#

It's just that you remember what suits you because it's the human way

#

4x melee lobbies are on both regions

#

Assa + 3x caster as well

#

Etc

exotic dove
#

Just sayin I dont see the lobbies I see you EU guys have

#

I would rather fight casters than melee all the time

"what you guys have"

my most recent lobby was 2x arms ww fw hpal

that a good lobby ? :p

#

Didn't prevent me from going very up

It's more melees than casters on EU at the moment on high rating

Im going up significantly in 2s and 3s since I started

#

3s was a week ago I started with friends

#

Much better experience

chrome schooner

It is better to play with people you like indeed

exotic dove

I normally do better in shuffle

but this season not the case

Assa plays very different this season than the previous two in shuffle

yea feels completely pointless on Outlaw

I m playing with +200apm +50IQ in every lobby but its a crab bucket

the same kind of lobby where I can hold W on ret and go 6-0

exotic dove
#

I wanted to point out I wasn't saying anyone was exactly wrong and I probably just have bad rng luck with the past four lobbies being double havoc Dh or the one with triple Dh and my lonely assa self. I should have stated that earlier lol but no one was wrong in what they said. I also consider Shadenox one of the greats. It was just one of those why did I vent here again and I need to stop that lol
