#

they won't

#

the wording already implies a whitelist of effects

vast loom
#

true but what about them being buffed by lethal dose

balmy condor
#

what

vast loom
#

they use the wording twice

balmy condor
#

yes

vast loom
#

which is weird

#

imo

balmy condor
#

do you know what a whitelist is

viscid spear
#

Remember when non-Rogue things were affected by Master Assassin? Sadbubbles

chilly marsh
#

kidney gundan trinket vanish

#

:p

viscid spear
#

I meant the beginning of the expac when Kyrian Sub Rogues were destroying players with the bat trinket

vast loom
#

yeah i do, but on the 1st line of the wording it specifiies abilities and the 2nd line doesnt. which could just be bad tooltips like usual

viscid spear
#

Wasn't that a thing?

slow marsh
balmy condor
#

they've always taken hard stances against external effects interacting with spec mechanics

viscid spear
#

My dumb ass was NF for so long

slow marsh
chilly marsh
#

Draught of Souls as fun xD

viscid spear
#

Like the Shadow damage conduit for Sub

balmy condor
#

what

#

reading that question is not clicking in my head sorry

dawn merlin
#

guess it depends on how the code is structured

viscid spear
#

I'm trying to convey, sorry

vast loom
#

its almost always easier to whitelist, but when its somehting like improves shadow dmg

viscid spear
#

Is it harder for them to make non-Rogue abilities that do Shadow damage not be affecting by Deeper Daggers?

grizzled jay
vast loom
#

that is very easy to just say if shadow dmg do more dmg

#

then add a black list after

#

because you forgot

#

that trinkets exist

viscid spear
vast loom
#

cuz you are just a de lol

hollow river
#

@balmy condor have you logged into the alpha yet starege

grizzled jay
#

Whitelisting means you don't need to emergency hotfix. Whereas blacklist if something unintentionally works could break the game until hotfix.

#

Turning all off by default is safer.

hollow river
#

ah

strange python
#

will zandalari troll racial apply to lethal dose?

viscid spear
#

I gotta mentally prepare myself to spam dungeons next resetvPU_PepeDepressed

viscid spear
#

How about that DF spoiler? ||Lor'themar & Thalyssra got hitched PU_PepeCoupleLove ||

oak sky
#

no idea what that means

viscid spear
#

I like the lore, maybe more than anyone else here SmallBoyBigKnife

gusty mirage
#

been a rough expac for you eh?

coarse schooner
#

No Buff for S4 M+...

balmy condor
#

s4 is meme season

#

just have fun with it

viscid spear
#

I'ma just pretend SL never happened, no one can convince me otherwise

#

Lorewise ofc, because nothing that happened in this expac can't be handwaved for DF, prove me wrong

coarse schooner
#

If i want to test Assa M+ next season, should i go for Zoldyck or Dustwalker?

viscid spear
#

Wdym "test"?

#

And Dusk would be our best leggo for sure, Zoldyck has its use on specific encounter tho

#

Oh wait, just M+? Then Dusk all day

coarse schooner
#

My heart belongs to Assa, but i didnt played it so far in SL. Currently Outlaw

#

Thats why i asked for Legy

brazen zodiac
#

lol

viscid spear
#

Then yeah, M+ Sin would be Dusk

coarse schooner
#

On Chest because of the mechagon rings right?

viscid spear
#

If you're planning on staying Sin for M+ into 9.2.7, yes

#

Logic Loop of Division & Overclocking Bit Band would be the best choice

oak sky
#

dude its gonna be so ass having a 291 chest

viscid spear
oak sky
#

yeah but

#

its a

#

big stat stick

#

and we have to use it at 291

viscid spear
#

I want DF now dead

coarse schooner
#

Maybe it Sims better than mechagon rings

they're still bad

#

CRAZY

cerulean junco
#

😦

balmy condor
#

but the deeper daggers fix knocks sub down a peg

#

like 600 dps

viscid spear
balmy condor
#

so it's looking like outlaw > sub > sin

cerulean junco
#

Next week I think rogue getting implemented into alpha so that will be fun

burnt latch

what a weird timeline last 6 months of rogue balance

balmy condor

drifting cosmos
#

🤨 10.0 sin gonna have a lot more buttons to press

vast loom
#

i think every class will have more buttons

drifting cosmos
#

SucksMan me too dumb to play anything more than 4 buttons

oak sky
#

"more buttons to press" bro thats like every 1 minute for the huge majority of the time your gameplay is the same

drifting cosmos
#

was looking at talents, seems everyone all have so many mini cds/ 45 sec 1min etc

toxic locust
#

potential new buttons are kingsbane/carnage, cold blood, MFD, dance/tea/ER
and a keybind for ambush if you play a blindside build i suppose

oak sky
#

mfd isnt new

#

blindside probably isnt either

toxic locust
#

yea there's just a chance you don't have those keybound right now

#

you can probably macro cold blood to something if you're really thirsting for open keybinds

#

but it's not really that many new buttons

oak sky
#

ye

vast loom
#

yeah cold blood on KB is very likely

#

i wouldnt macro it maybe

limber lion
#

We get 2 new buttons with the covenant ability/wignature ability

vast loom
#

we dont take it but we could have SBS + kyrian

#

which is annoying but whatever

#

my mind has all cov abilities on 1 button

grizzled jay
#

current ST build i am looking at has MfD, CB, KB, SBS, Dance KagamiSigh

vast loom
#

yeah seems about right

grizzled jay
#

at least i can keep Covenant on same keybind. And MfD. Gonna need new keybinds for CB, KB, and Dance though.

#

i guess I can use CT and KB on same bind, since doubt you'd ever have both in same build. unless we get memed by a tier set and it makes CT good in ST again kekw

flint pond
#

dumb question, when you snapshot at the end of vendetta do you let the bleed fall off then reapply or just reapply during pandemic as normal?

vast loom
#

i refresh around 1 sec

gusty mirage
#

then reapply

flint pond
grizzled jay
strange python
#

had an idea for an assassination talent. probably not a good one but ah well

#

"each combo point spent on an offensive finisher increases the duration of bleeds on your target by 0.5 seconds"

kindred rapids
#

That just deletes half your rotation

brazen zodiac
#

epic

strange python
#

they can't give us fun things to do besides reapply bleeds?

#

at least cold blood looks neat

bleak sky
#

Bleed maintenance spec

vast loom
#

Yeah thats what happened to feral

#

Now they are a bite spec

strange python
#

Oof

lethal mortar
#

what do you guys sim for st?

#

just curious

brazen zodiac
#

16.2k

velvet ridge
#

i love bleeds, bleed maintence is fun to me

sharp falcon
#

can't maintain bleeds if they run out of blood

#

new game mechanic

velvet ridge
#

Bleeds no longer work against Mechanical, Abberations, and Elementals

storm onyx
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

Bleeds are cool cause venomous wounds

fossil eagle
#

i love sin and i will play it forever

night delta
toxic locust
#

assassination rogue using tiny daggers to make things like robots and rock elementals bleed will never not be immersion breaking to me

#

anti fantasy spec

#

at least sub has the shadow magic excuse

oak sky
#

we should use a wire

toxic locust
#

true

balmy condor
#

okay so like

#

100% envenom uptime

#

is not an issue

#

alpha gives you 180 greens and you just take twist the knife and you actually cannot avoid overwriting envenom lmao

brave gyro
copper hazel
#

if jet fuel can melt steel beams, then rogue poison can too

spice spire
vernal adder
#

plane poison, new build in df

velvet ridge
#

you know, we dont have anything named acid do we

#

i guess thats not really a poison though

copper hazel
#

poison bomb is like an acid pool

#

at least in thematic look and feel

sterile chasm
royal lantern
#

or parry it with a sword

#

logic and fantasy games doesnt go togheter man

icy agate
#

you can bleed a radiator, why cant you bleed a robot

shell ivy
#

So I just went trying how assa feel this patch

#

Jesus we don’t envenom as much anymore

#

Maybe my stats are too bad (from outlaw gear) but I barely can fit any if I wanna keep up all 3 dots

shell ivy
#

Do we still shiv on cd?

pure moth
#

yes

shell ivy
#

Also do u need to refresh everything first before shiving?

#

I’m pretty sure if throwing shiv on cd, means having to refresh in shiv

pure moth
#

if you have vendetta/flag coming up in 10 seconds, you can hold shiv for the combo. but thats the only exception

shell ivy
#

Feels so bad man

#

I guess bleeds are bleeds

pure moth
#

the spec is all about bleeds and maintaining them

shell ivy
#

Ye I just came back from sanctum patch

#

It was much more envenom heavy

#

This tier set just makes it back to full bleed spec

pure moth
#

envenom is just to refresh slice and dice really atm, used if poisons/bleeds are all up and rolling

shell ivy
#

Ye, so do I really not need to care too much if I gotta refresh in shiv?

#

Also not as many env in shiv windows ig

balmy condor
#

yep

#

just like last patch

#

just send it and forget it

viscid spear
shell ivy
viscid spear
#

Your bleeds do more damage after you Shiv, so in addition to using it right after Vendetta you're then maintaining those super bleeds as much as possible. So refreshing in Shiv isn't bad, it's expected during the Vendetta window

night delta
viscid spear
#

Don't fret about the Envenom debuff on the target

#

Oh, you mean in DF?

night delta
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

probably like 60%

viscid spear
#

I wish I was in Alpha dracthyr_cry_animated

balmy condor
#

oh half the shit doesn't work still

#

you're not missing out

viscid spear
#

But the experience!

night delta
#

alpha really isn't about the exprience though

#

half of it is NYI

viscid spear
#

I'm just bored af rn in-game, I don't have motivation

night delta
#

although dragon riding probably is fun

balmy condor
#

kingsbanes tick damage isn't increasing and does less than an off-hand auto attack

night delta
#

Kingstickle

balmy condor
#

improved garrote doesn't actually have the cooldown part

hollow river
viscid spear
night delta
#

it's that badly tuned huh ?

zinc turtle
#

What will be the go to trinkets for S4 anyone?

night delta
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
night delta
violet jackal
#

Some combination of First Sigil, Guardan of the first ones, something passive from a dungeon

night delta
#

Eye of command from Kara part 2 is a good contender

zinc turtle
#

Thanks all, I had forgotten about Fuus Spreadsheet, its very helpful thanks 🙂 Happy Stabbing!

vestal wren
#

the trinket choice will probably change a bit with the buffs

viscid spear
vestal wren
#

sigil still 📈 for night fae

strange python
#

What % of st damage is poison bomb on alpha with and without stratagem? Anyone tested it yet?

balmy condor
#

it's trash

#

but also it's alpha with 0 tuning

#

so makes sense

#

kingsbane doing less than auto attacks

strange python
#

Considering it's a two pointer, gonna have to be tuned really high

balmy condor
#

you also can't take dragon tempered on alpha

#

not because it's not implemented

#

but because you don't have the talent points

#

all testing atm is level 60

#

not 70

storm onyx
# balmy condor it's trash

Will it be good for a scenario where we have prio dmg focus with adds inc within intervals. Even certain m+ environments like ToP was?

#

Least the aim is that if I remember right, not directly ST

balmy condor
#

but when it gets tuned

#

yeah sure

icy agate
#

just level up 8-)

jade abyss
storm onyx
balmy condor
#

but yeah

#

tuning

#

need to wait

icy agate
#

61 is enough for dragon tempered

#

but ye i hope the 70 profiles and NYI spells get implemented relatively soon so people can give feedback on how they feel

balmy condor
#

I will say my biggest complaint atm

#

is that carnage is terrible at 10 yards

#

it hits literally nothing

candid token
#

I appreciate all your hard work Whispyr 😮

strange python
#

carnage is only 10 yards?

#

thats awful lmao

violet jackal
#

is that the same range as empowered fan of knives / crimson tempest?

spice spire
#

Shorter

jade abyss
#

When i notice it correctly we play a poison build in st and bleeds in aoe?

balmy condor
#

pretty much yeah

balmy condor
#

CT is 10 I think

#

but it's 10 from YOU

#

which is a big difference

violet jackal
#

ah yes I see

#

Lets make it 15

jade abyss
balmy condor
#

like you have this setup with red mobs, you're on green, CT hits them all, no problems

marble hemlock
#

Also for some reason you add like 1y to that aoe if you cast fok/CT at the apex of a jump.

balmy condor
#

but carnage is on the target

#

so this for example

#

would be fucked

marble hemlock
#

Don't ask me why

balmy condor
#

it means if you carnage something, it has to be in the middle

marble hemlock
#

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain why

balmy condor
#

but yeh

#

I ran like 6 dungeons today

#

and carnage range was honestly a MASSIVE issue

#

like boss with adds spawning, you carnage->deathmark->bleeds on the boss

#

and it just whiffs all the adds

thorny pond
marble hemlock
#

Probably something to do with hit boxes being spherical and suspended in the air, so since most enemies are taller than the player, jumping adds AOE

jade abyss
#

We play with the energy tea then?

balmy condor
#

no fuck thistle

errant elbow
#

Most of the NYI abilities for rogue are fixed in next weeks build.

balmy condor
#

yes

#

that's what realz said

marble hemlock
#

basically this

#

and yes, my paint skills are glorious

thorny pond
#

Did you draw that? Beautiful

marble hemlock
#

but yeah its pretty noticeable at times

#

being able to hit more enemies when jumping

#

is a pretty neat trick sometimes

thorny pond
#

My guild is recruiting a graphics designer for things like this. Your spot if you want it.

#

Yea it can be

#

good tanks = less space bar. Bad tanks (not DKs), = spacebar broken

marble hemlock
#

Thats how the issue of the stars on anduin worldfirst happened too. They reduced the range of the stars a bit, but because their hitbox was so far up in the air, it just passed right over the player, so the only way to get hit by them was to jump while they travelled over you.

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

I mean

#

no

thorny pond
#

How would that work tho

#

you don't bleed yourself

balmy condor
#

because you're still casting garrote/rupture

#

so you still have to move

#

just make it 15/20 yards

marble hemlock
#

Cant wait to hit enemies that im not even in combat with with acrobatic strikes+flying daggers

violet jackal
#

don't forget the enemies that are on the other side of a wall

thorny pond
#

tol dagor can't hurt you anymore

marble hemlock
#

cant hit shit through a wall with fok

#

that sorta stuff typically only happens with ground-targeted AoEs

outer cairn
#

@balmy condor saw your pin. So for Sin we going after double EoN?

balmy condor
#

yes

outer cairn
#

I figured as much.

balmy condor
#

it's the highest ilvl dagger and has an effect

outer cairn
#

awesome. kinda looking forward to raiding as sin again

fleet whale
#

You guys are amazing artists

#

so much detail

gusty mirage
#

because moving + using Fok/CT also add that extra distance

marble hemlock
outer cairn
#

Just took a look at the FAQ. I thought the go to was Theo? Or did it change back to Nadja recently?

spice spire
outer cairn
#

That makes sense. I'll have to go take a look when I get home, but I thought we couldn't get 3 potency on Nadja if we wanted to go duelist with her? Could be wrong. I also thought Theo for the tea primarily, not so much the umbrella

#

Either way, lets me swtich between Sin and Outlaw and each have a set up instead of worrying about switching soulbinds and stuff

balmy condor
#

potency is stronger than duelist

subtle tundra
outer cairn
#

Check rog

subtle tundra
#

Is it

balmy condor
#

in 90% of situations, yes

subtle tundra
#

Ok baka

#

You bad

balmy condor
#

and in the 10% where you actually only ever hit 1 target ever, it's a massive 25 dps

#

an unclimbable mountain of gains

meager granite
subtle tundra
#

I will do top boss dmg

#

🤬

balmy condor
#

varas are you just an asshole for fun or does someone pay you to be annoying

subtle tundra
outer cairn
#

Right on. Don't you have the open for when we take Subterfuge in the pins? Cuz I know its something like, garrote, garrote, mut/snd

thorny pond
#

🧂

balmy condor
#

like how to open on a boss in m+?

outer cairn
#

no in raid. if we weren't switching covenants

#

not on a hardcore team where i'd go swap between venth and necro

balmy condor
#

on necro would be gar sbs snd

#

gar snd sbs probably fine too if you can get an env off without it dropping

#

but it's been sketch for me in the past

vast loom
#

i feel like in ST with necro you just shouldnt take subt right?

outer cairn
#

right. say lords fight though if we venth. would we take subt or just stay same talents?

marble hemlock
vast loom
#

oh a 2 target opener is difernt for sure

gusty mirage
marble hemlock
#

sbs can be up to 3

#

wdym

gusty mirage
#

yeah for the one in 100 times it actually calculates the CPs properly

marble hemlock
#

i mean its a 50:50

gusty mirage
#

60 pulls on lords

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

on the extra CP

gusty mirage
#

I had more than 1 cp exactly once

marble hemlock
#

and then critrate for the 3rd one

#

well yeah obviously

#

its about 1 in 4 that you only get 1cp

#

from sbs

gusty mirage
#

yeah that's horseshit

marble hemlock
#

with current crit

outer cairn
#

But on 2 target fight as venth, would we even take subt and open with garrotes or just stay same

gusty mirage
#

I want my first spike to give me my 2cp like it says

marble hemlock
#

yeah it is. its why i dont do single cp snd anymore

marble hemlock
#

psure i did most of jailer prog with DS with gar sbs mut snd

#

to get 4-6cp snd

#

cause anything below that sucked ass

gusty mirage
#

the CP generation is vital for reducing flag CD

violet jackal
#

i open with a 1 CP slice n dice and it works out fine

vast loom
#

opening on lords tho is just setting up dots right cuz we save everything for swarm

balmy condor
#

opener just isn't that important

outer cairn
balmy condor
marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

get snd up before dots, get dots up, press cooldowns

#

perfectly fine

gusty mirage
outer cairn
#

I just think that Kingsbane coming back and deathmark and double lethal poisons gonna make sin slap

vast loom
#

sin tree does look cool just gotta wait tho its still hella early

outer cairn
#

I'm sure the masterminds will figure it all out

marble hemlock
#

you wont be able to run kingsbane and double poisons though

vast loom
#

shit will be figured out theres just not a whole lot to figure out other than does shit work lol

royal lantern
vast loom
#

atleast as of right now

marble hemlock
#

its intentional

royal lantern
#

but cant have everything

#

ik man

vast loom
#

who knows what happens in next version

#

of tree

outer cairn
#

Does deathmark also copy Kingsbane?

vast loom
#

dunno

royal lantern
#

it would be somewhat stupid cus you would need to balance kingsbane around people taking double poisons

#

wich means it would be unusable without it

vast loom
#

also

#

double poison would just always be taken

#

then you reall only "choose" between KB or Carnage

outer cairn
#

for the dmg enhance and the dmg reduction poisons right?

vast loom
#

which is fairly obvious on the content

limber lion
outer cairn
#

KB for ST and Carnage for Cleave/AoE?

limber lion
#

Or well actually, probably doesn't matter with Zoldyck

vast loom
limber lion
outer cairn
#

Did we even really use Zoldyck in CN? Maybe for Huntsman and SLG?

limber lion
#

Just down to tuning at this point

gusty mirage
#

sire I think

violet jackal
#

doomblade

vast loom
viscid spear
vast loom
#

DTB would never be a "choice"

limber lion
#

Ok maybe I missed something

#

But why not?

limber lion
#

Doomblade everywhere else

balmy condor
#

means double the gains on kingsbane

limber lion
#

Oh yeh my language barrier coming through

#

Didn't connect those 2 sentences

#

Yeh if you could use em both, it would be super op fo sho

ebon notch
#

i brought it up to realz and he said "oh no, show me your tree"

#

cause i hadnt tried it yet

#

cause i hadnt tried it yet

balmy condor
#

daps and inting publicly to the dev

vast loom
#

Yeah right now sin tree feels very differnt than most other specs cuz we basically choose 1 cap stone then we need to fill in all the other points

ebon notch
#

im an exhibitionist

vast loom
#

Unless maybe a KB and Carnage build is a thing in m+ but I big doubt

#

But who knows maybe kb pump for boss/prio and carnage for aoe

limber lion
#

The Zoldyck placement is a bit feelsbad for sure, wouldn't necessarily want to take all mutilate talents and TTB just to get to it

royal lantern
jade abyss
#

Kb with double poison will be so op that blizzard nerf it to the ground x)

royal lantern
#

kb with double poison will never be a thing simply because: you would need to balance it around double poisons

#

aka it does the "intended" dmg when people take double

#

but if they dont, its ussules

#

so its not even an option anymore

jade abyss
#

I happy that kb comes back but i dont understand zoldyk in that row when i remember right

limber lion
#

it won't be a thing because it's literally impossible to take it currently

#

very very highly doubt they would change that.

outer cairn
#

k stupid question time cause I beleive I've asked this, but don't remember. When Flag and Vendetta are up, but say we've got like 10-12 secs on rupture, do we flag and overwrite the current rupture or use the points on a different finisher

violet jackal
#

Probably rupture since that rupture will be in pandemic once you press vendetta

balmy condor
#

Huh?

#

Just use a different finisher

#

If it’s not in pandemic don’t overwrite

#

You only overwrite for the overhang

outer cairn
#

ok. wasn't sure if there was something about getting like max time at the full tick rate or anything

violet jackal
#

Once he presses vendetta won’t the current rupture go to 5 sec

outer cairn
#

overhang. Talking about like the last 3-5 secs of vendetta right

outer cairn
balmy condor
outer cairn
#

but don't do that unless its already in pandemic

balmy condor
#

Correct

outer cairn
#

ok. big thing for me is getting the timings down and not hitting rupture or garrote to soon during vendetta. gotta remember the windows are halved.

vast loom
#

look up Cev bleed WA's on WAGO

#

they will change the pandemic glow during vend

outer cairn
#

oh sweet. would it work with the current wa i'm using?

vast loom
#

dont know, what you mean by work but you could just modify them to match what yours look like

outer cairn
#

k i'll go take a look

#

hmm. found his plater profile

#

but no wa

vast loom
outer cairn

sweet thanks

how much worse is assa in m+ btw? and what is the general playstyle like? i havent played assa since 8.3

gusty mirage
#

it's more or less the same as 8.3, you spread your bleeds for energy + damage, except now you envenom to keep up slice and dice + vendetta makes managing bleeds a headache with the tier set

#

you'd still play subterfuge and open up with 3x garrotes into a finisher

#

the core gameplay stays the same, just an additional plate to spin w/ slice and dice and giga prio damage tied to vendetta's exsanguinate effect

#

I'm kinda bummed that the FoK talents in Dragonflight are so boring. Poisoned Katar and Flying Daggers seem very similar.

#

They should have put in Echoing Blades instead of one of those.

royal lantern
#

dont say echoing blades

#

or you summon him to tell you that its bad

sigh

#

at least its not +range or +crit or +dmg ...

i mean

it was just +dmg lol

With awesome visual and audio feedback

it was litearlly just FoK lmao

is that just base or with the talents?

with talents

I think assa will pog next expac

yeh sin looking really good

just need range increase on carnage

cerulean nest

is there an easy way to look at logs from alpha or is it not a public thing?

balmy condor

cause good fucking god

balmy condor

would need someone with alpha to link

cerulean nest
#

for sure

balmy condor
#

not that there's much value in them atm

cerulean nest
#

nah just something to peruse

royal lantern
#

the problem with Echoing blades is

#

if its good, it turns all other aoe options down instantly

#

cus you just wanna spam FoK

leaden bloom
#

fair

royal lantern
#

no more multi dotting etc..... just FoK

#

wich in turn is a bit...weird

balmy condor
#

it felt like I was getting there earlier today

#

was a bit monka

night delta
#

Like each second you store a echoing blades proc, up to 5

#

Or somehing like that

#

To make it more interesting to play than just spam FoK

bronze echo
#

How big is the upcomming sepsis conduit nerf in pvp?

night delta
#

50% I think ?

bronze echo
#

Will it be noticable on the dmg?

night delta

If they took the effort to nerf it that much, probably yeah

#

NF sin burst in pvp was nasty

leaden bloom
#

I enjoy when FoK becomes a builder over mut. Full spam is bad but I like the change over.

scent of blood gives 3'5% extra agility or just 3.5 points?

Comfy i like the world where you only feelcraft

toxic locust
#

hmm

#

could a reworked version of echoing blades work to fix sin's aoe without seal fate?

#

significantly lowered echo damage to avoid the degen FoK spam, but the echoes generate a combo point

#

so it'd be point gen on crits, kinda like how sub gets find weakness without taking find weakness

#
  • cool visual
grizzled jay

hello

i think it's a very reasonable guess

gusty mirage
hollow river
#

if you really think about it

#

with carnage we won't really need fok CPs

#

but every pack in between will be a bit scuffed lmao

gleaming fable
#

I was thinking ass might benefit from something similar to the silent storm talent that the sub tree got.

#

I guess its a bit too similar to master assassin tho

slow marsh
#

what would that do

#

the only reason sub has that is for free find weakness

vast loom
#

This might be a hot take but Ive been thinking about the tree a bit and it feels like with the issue of not wanting us to get DTB with Kings bane i feel like DTB just isnt that interesting. And i feel like having something else replace it might be healthier for Sin long term, maybe something Buffing envenom somehow since the whole middle section being themed around envenom (amp poison, twist, PB, Dashing).

grizzled jay
#

DTB is interesting if they made the new Lethal Poison both interesting with DTB and interesting to take on its own. Amp Poison is kinda lame.

Also issue is that DTB and Kingsbane both have the same theme: both are just giving you a (theoretically) stronger lethal poison than Deadly.

vast loom
#

I think the bigger issue is that with the 3rd choice ,after the ST choice (KB) and the AoE choice (Carnage), we just have a generic passive dmg increase. If we could take it with KB or Carnage we always would its not really a choice, it just locks our remaining choice nodes to it no matter what. Currently we kinda have 5 points to use where ever. Theres a lot of obvious choices in those 5 so its more like 1-3

slow marsh
#

I like DTB as a more passive sustained damage option.

vast loom
#

I think it being the "easy" option makes sense

#

It would be nice if they tuning maybe made it the 2-3 taget option

whole mason
#

Dtb is by itself a standalone strong option

vast loom
#

i know its strong

#

its just not as interesting as KB or IC

timid cloud
#

I just have Whispyr pick my silly little tree talents, then I put them into my silly little trees. Then I play my silly little game.

whole mason
#

Why... It's interesting I think

slow marsh
#

I think maybe the thing about DTB is that the path you take to it wants to incentivize poison usage via Amp poison, but amp poison, while in function is just passive damage, feels like it's maybe intended to be for juicier envenoms

#

Which goes against the grain for what DTB seems it wants to do

vast loom
#

yeah

#

thats why i think DTB could be reworked into a Envenom based thing

slow marsh
#

And naturally Kingsbane existing kind of kills any other 'poison stack' build

timid cloud
#

Did they move talents & stuff on Alpha already?

vast loom
#

what do you mean? we had the adding KB update a few days ago

#

but other than taht i dont think so

grizzled jay
slow marsh
#

Personally I think DTB being something similar to sub's talent that turns damage into shadow damage and amps it

#

Would be sick

vast loom
#

Yeah

#

that is interesting

grizzled jay
#

it isnt like we get compounding talents that juice env and THEN amp poison comes in and giga juices it

slow marsh
#

ye

ember remnant
vast loom
#

like making Envenom a low duration dot similar to Devo plague so it gets amped by DM and Letahl dose

slow marsh
#

I feel like something called DRAGON TEMPERED BLADES should be more than just you can use an extra poison

grizzled jay
#

also hate how you can't "bank" two amps. costs 20 but you can only store 30. should really allow us to store 2.

slow marsh
grizzled jay
#

well w/e it is

ember remnant
#

side note, what is supposed to to give the rank 2 of poison bomb? more proc rate or more dmg? or both

vast loom
#

the intention is giving you a buffer to not over cap

slow marsh
#

R2 is prolly proc rate? I'd imagine

grizzled jay
#

?

vast loom
#

Amp poison only gets consumed at 15stacks

whole mason
#

That should be fine.

slow marsh
#

I mean I think amp poison itself is perfectly fine as is

vast loom
#

he was just saying he wants it to stack 2x instead of just 5 extra

#

yeah

slow marsh
#

its what it leads into thats a bit counter intuitive to me

vast loom
#

its a good idea

ember remnant
#

even if you could have enough stacks for 2 proc, you'd be holding your envenom for so long

ember remnant
#

unless you have to refresh rupture, you'd be holding

grizzled jay
#

envenom sucks. maybe that will get them to do something about it.

vast loom
#

I think with KB back

#

envenom has a real purpose

grizzled jay
#

having an ability only have purpose when 30000 things have to prop it up is an issue

vast loom
#

beyond just a SND that does dmg

grizzled jay
#

especially for a core skill

#

its diff when Exsang needs an insane amount of stats / trinkets / etc. to be propped up. that's a talent. but Env is our core damaging ability but it needs so much for it to even feel worth pressing.

vast loom
#

the buff portion of envenom is fine, it is still a decent portion of our dmg.

#

Its not like shiv levels of dmg lol

ember remnant
#

300% shiv dmg tho KEKlaugh

vast loom
#

and without our 4p we would envenom a lot more

grizzled jay
#

having TTB back is pog

vast loom
#

TTB is still so little dmg

grizzled jay
#

i just like Shiv being free

vast loom
#

im pretty sure

whole mason
#

We're not pressing env now or what....

grizzled jay
#

rn? not really

#

Vendetta windows makes env a dps loss when you press it kekw

#

and during Shiv windows even CT is more dps than Envenom

vast loom
#

the top dmg log for halondrus has him pressing 25 envenoms in almost 6min

grizzled jay
#

that's every 14-15s or so

vast loom
#

the main reason being we press a lot of rupture/CT during vend and we maintain CT in ST

whole mason
#

This tier we still use env and ofc less because of the tier set

#

V will be gone.

grizzled jay
#

yes but my point was Env is so weak Crimson Tempest can overtake it in ST. that's whack.

whole mason
#

The over taking is because of tier set? Or not?

grizzled jay
#

no we maintain on ST even outside Shiv/Ven windows

whole mason
#

Maybe in DF we no longer have that number

ember remnant
#

technically speaking, envenom has less attack power than rank 1 eviscerate

#

talk about an "upgrade"

celest ruin
#

will there be tier sets in the first raid?

hazy geyser
#

seeing that in Home made me think for a second they swapped vigor with mfd and cold blood with deeper. That would've been so perfect even without the extra connections

grizzled jay
vast loom
#

I think they already confirmed we will?

grizzled jay
#

tier sets are borrowed power, so they want to see how the base classes work first, then use tier sets to balance them (instead of hard numbers, unless there's big outliers).

vast loom
#

unless the tier set designs dont come with tier set bonus

grizzled jay
#

think of like MoP, how there wasn't a "tier set" but the armor set from the first raid was still distinct on a per-armor basis

#

pretty sure that's what is happening in raid 1.

whole mason
vast loom
#

Yeah in the past its always CT vs PB and thats a decent choice cuz both are like ST and AOe at the same time

#

where in DF CT isnt competeing directly with PB now so i hope its not attactrive ST anymore

whole mason
#

It is like having amp poison and not having dtb. Then we calculated amp poison's better and blaming deadly too weak? Not really.

ember remnant
#

with the buff to PB, its not like envenom will be truely dead, it doesnt hit hard but it does lots of stuff left and right in the tree

vast loom
#

even without PB

#

KB makes Envenom buff very important

grizzled jay
whole mason
#

Env buff by itself is very important. KB however requires it on an extreme 100% coverage.

vast loom
#

also it is entirely possible that During deathmark with doubled Amp poison we would cold blood an envenom

#

but mostlikely not since cold blood KB should work

slow marsh
#

as we've learned in the past

#

critting single envenoms doesn't do muchh

#

even if its juiced

whole mason
#

We selected a finisher talent using exactly the same resources that another finisher requires, there will be replacement and competition.

vast loom
#

the wording of deathmark makes me wonder if they want you to 'snapshot"
cuz its doesnt say that existing ones are duplicated
rather applied are duplicated

ember remnant
#

could anyone who've been on alpha tell.... does IC give you a buff for X seconds and you gotta use garrote and rupture individually to remove the buff completely? also, does it gets buffed if you use the garrote from stealth with nodes (SS, Iron wire)

grizzled jay
#

no overhang is the goal though.

vast loom
#

when i said snapshot i mean snapshot at the end to overhang

whole mason
#

So you mean the duplicated dot disappear after D M's duration?

grizzled jay
#

i think that is the goal yes. because overhangs cause funky windows. like what we have now with Vendetta.

#

well by goal i don't mean Realz said that. but overhangs suck.

vast loom
#

Yeah id say i dont want it to overhang

whole mason
#

The reason overhang exists maybe is because the duration not strong as it should be.

vast loom
#

cuz at 15sec thats essentially 1 full garrote/ruptrue

#

but if it only doubles on reapply

#

then we lose a gcd or 2

grizzled jay
#

you should just press Garr/Rup once in the Deathmark for the dupe and that's all. you shouldn't have to play this weird mini-game inside the window where you want to refresh but as late as possible but also so you hit pandemic window on the dots. bad design imo.

vast loom
#

cuz deathmark doesnt look to be a OGCD

grizzled jay
#

ye its a gcd currently

#

carnage is off the gcd though

vast loom
#

carnage makes sense

#

it just buffs next ability

#

well 2

ember remnant
#

how long is the buff and can it be snapshotted?

grizzled jay
#

Deathmark? 14s.

#

or do you mean carnage

ember remnant
#

nah carnage

grizzled jay
#

not in alpha yet Sadge

ember remnant
whole mason
#

my hope is no buff time.

slow marsh
#

deathmark applies a dot

#

prolly will be on gcd

whole mason
#

so that we can separate the use of rup and gar from IC for two pullings.

vast loom
#

We would want them in 1 pull i assume tho

ember remnant
#

makes you wonder what the interaction between KB and deathmark gonna be like. and i would assume the double bleed/poison during deathmarks are being added to lethal dose

vast loom
#

I think its intended for that to be the case

trail otter
#

Am I the only one that thinks death mark would feel awful to press on gcd if it doesn't apply another garrote / rupture for you?

It feels super clunky

vast loom
#

but idk about hwo it would work with like CB on a duplicated bleed

#

do both crit?

#

only 1?

grizzled jay
#

it doesn't need to right? in the opener you just open with Mut with MA anyways

whole mason
#

no

grizzled jay
#

Mut SnD Mut Deathmark Garrote CT MfD Rup

vast loom
#

Nah prob opening with garrote i think

whole mason
#

gar SnD now

#

MA only 30

grizzled jay
#

opening with Garrote means you need to do Gar Deathmark Gar which will delay SnD. or if you mfd snd on the opener it delays Rup by a global. but i guess that might not be horrible.

whole mason
#

Gar SnD mut 4 dm rup mut kb env vanish gar mut shiv dance env mut mut env

#

I think Whispyr consider DM dup existing rup and gar

grizzled jay
#

if MA is devalued then Lethality is devalued which means you can take Subt and get the bonus CP from SS

ember remnant
#

MA may be only 30%, we'll get lots of crit regardless, with deadly precision and lethality, its a big help without investing anything just yet in crit

whole mason
#

why subt gives ss?

grizzled jay
#

cause it did in bfa

whole mason
#

subt gives stealth bonus?

grizzled jay
#

ye

whole mason
#

and sepsis?

vast loom
#

I think its prob gonna be a Gar > snd > mut > Deathmark > rupture > CB + dance + KB > MFD envenom or someshit

whole mason
#

I need confirmation. I dont think subt give bonuses anymore. Otherwise its' position is questionable.

grizzled jay
#

Sepsis doesn't from what I remember.

vast loom
#

Sepsis doesnt atm

#

but i assume it would be fixed

#

come DF

#

since dance also grants things that used to be only true stealth

whole mason
#

because that's confirmed by Realz?

vast loom
#

the sepsis part no

grizzled jay
#

the Dance part yes. Subt working on stealth stuff has always been the case as well, like I said in BFA it worked on SS for us.

whole mason
#

I dont think it is a good idea to assume design intent directly to other conditions.

#

historical reason is ok.

ember remnant
#

i mean, we dont need subt now that we have improved garrote making it no cd and can still be cast for 3 sec after stealth nah?

whole mason
#

but we need confirmation.

vast loom
#

If sepsis doesnt let us use Shrouded

#

seems kinda meh 🙂

#

even if it still sims well

whole mason
#

SS gives CP and not indicated by improved gar.
