I hope they increase the radius of poison bomb by like 10 or 20%, mobs always refuse to all stand in it
inconsiderate jerks that they are
I feel like poison bomb should just put a DoT on the targets that walk in it
so it still has value on moving targets
Go ham on rogue

does indiscriminate carnage really help on a 1.5m cd for M+?
probably needs to be 45secs

Ideally you’d use it while having scent talented which would be a kind of busted 45sec CD considering the amount of primary you’d gain from even a 5 pack
1.5min CD is great imo, its just short enough that tanks cal make good pulls around your CD, i think a good sin will still be valuable without IC, but bad ones will do nothing without it
IC has the potential to be really big
bleed damage is high
it's a great cooldown
it just kinda finnicky atm
Added range 
I guess Blizz thinks "indiscriminate" means "about arm's length"
I mean I get it
10 yards on fok
10 yards on CT
the problem is that you control where you're standing for those
It’s 10 yards in either direction from you
You can cut the difference between a couple of mobs usually and it feels fine
At least it's not a targeted AoE like RoF or Wild Spirits 
Cause you’ll be 5+ yards away from stuff and it doesn’t matter
This is probably better
Wild spirits targeting reticle for carnage is an improvement
whats the range on bladeflurry?
@balmy condor hello sir, have you considered the POISON?
8
its a comment on the wowhead article
oh no
until the talents are simulated they are just conjectures, even so I see in the talents that you have not understood very well the new concept that they want to give the assassin and it is the POISON
what the fuck is this
I talked about DTB, there's an example tree for it as well

nice conjecture buddy
also who the fuck uses that word ever
i am lost on that
apparently I'm an idiot that doesn't understood very well the new concept
*/sigh
yeah bro everyone knows its the new concept they want to give the assassin and it is the POISON
yeah guess I don't get it
Then it would be Discriminate Carnage 

As if they didn't do everything in their power to limit poison dmg since Wrath. lol
i wonder what he means by the POISON tbh
are you sure it wouldn't be disdickinyourmouf carnage
amp poison?
the POISON
right

oh no oxi about to commit a hate crime
no no I learned from my Yaldo Chronicles
mashallah you were not made in his image, be gone
Hey! Article was a good read, thanks for that.
Curious about why there was no mention of Maim, Mangle (or maybe I skimmed past it?) as a potentially good alternative to Twist the Knife or Amplifying Poison. Is Main, Mangle perceived as being inferior to those two at this point, even if it should kinda synergise with Doomblade?
@balmy condor allright, who forced you too write that
blink twice if you are hold hostage
yeah so the reason it wasn't mentioned is because it's really really boring and it's weak
but you're right that is has synergy and can be good
atm it's basically just an afterthought point, or you're taking it because you want blindside
but I already get scolded for going over word limits constantly and because there's really not much else to it aside from "well doomblade and maim synergize I guess"
I just omitted it entirely
np
word limit wat
if I was able to talk in depth about each talent the article would've been 40,000 words instead of 4000

you seem knowledgeable
they don't give hard limits but they give vague "it shouldn't be too long" type shit
and then I turn in 4000 words and they go "ehhhhhhhhhhh................ little long"
and then I gotta trim
so I trim down to 3000
and they go "okay good"
and then I sneak in another 500 words after the fact so they don't notice
:)

500 words basically gonna be the DH talent analysis

Who’s the new dh writer?
guy is a dh main now?

your mom
Damn bro, I knew she was dumb
shad came in for havoc
Also makes me realize I’ve been guide writing for over a year now

It’s been 2 patches

I’d 10000000% run with oxipasta
id give it to u too lmfao
Trying to get at least a 15 in these dungeons for this week, I'll feel more comfortable next week since it's Fortified and should make these dungeons less stressful compared to this week.
I’m not as mental terrorist to my tanks.

oxi what one shot me on the motorcycle boss
Yeah tyran junkyard kind of a joke tho
he rode that motorcycle over you
Empowered taze?
oh fuck my dream
That named Dreadlord finna dab on people in Fort
it came true
Oh even worse
seasonals don't scale with fort/tyran anymore
they changed that in 9.1

thatd be cracked
or 9.0
can't remember
just key level
but zugagagaga on a +30 is about to be obscene
I mean it still empowers the shit around it tho
Oh so he just finna dab per usual, gotcha
But you just blast him down
Surprised at people not knowing what to do with bat add
Kidney if it’s on me and move on with my day
I just Poly it and forget it, a simple stun just messes it up
Blind if a cast is about to go off on someone else 
I see people focusing it after I Poly, so fun 
real friends let the cast go off tbh
public loggers
cringe
private log = nobody can log watch me
buddy
private logging is 
I'm cringe regardless of the availability of logs
lol
very cute 
what boss is this
biggest HC blaster itw
very hard content very meaninful
did a normal clear for friends and normal sludge with this affix is a fucking joke
died in a minute 47 
gm sinners
gm ig

Can't believe Whispyr took Exsang in the wowhead article
whats wrong with it
Daps got bullied out by cev
No one can resist the alluring talent
so you rerolled to the spec that sims higher than assassination to get dumpstered by a sin rogue anyway?
Yeah but Cev sin sims higher
Daps is a masochist
Checkmate
wdym i can compete with him now
with equal gear, cev does not sim higher than an outlaw rogue
we sim the same rn
don't make me log check
Yeah but he’s built diffly
go for it
private
but i was able to compete with him in CN this week
how bold of you to think I don't see them anyway
ask him


america explain
Im a certified normal champion
wanna see the dumbest shit ever?
35.7k

Jesus christ
I wonder if we can hit those numbers on mythic in full gear 
@gusty mirage are you able to line up ven with charge
we had 41 stacks of the motes

we're going to try that next time CN comes back on a boss
gonna get one of our boomies to go bear
and PI them on a ravenous thrash nonsense
Sepsis vs Flag doesn't change your effective Ven cd does it?
PI + lust
oh I didn't even read ven, sorry I'm still waking up
np
Do you have to ven first gcd on opener so it lines up
like 2nd/3rd gcd
Well try Garrote Ven first two buttons see how it feels
I'm playing NF so can Gar Ven Ambush Gar
Aight
wps/sepsis conduit/lp
tyty
MA over Subt? Sadge
yeah its worth for the sepsis damage
Is that just on Sludgefist or are you playing MA on NF default
just on sludge
sludge is an anomaly
because playing MA as night fae
feels like absolute dogshit
lmao
Making sure lol
oxi so cool
so, is the tazavesh dagger the best m+ dagger this season i guess?
Hey all, doing some research for a project. Can anyone link me a sin rogue WCL profile that's had multiple jailer kills on heroic (From last tier)? I'm trying to find a good spread of parse numbers on that fight.
sure
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/illidan/Oxii#zone=29&difficulty=4&boss=2537 those are mine if it helps
he said a good spread of parse numbers, not 100's all the way through
its okay I played sub on it early on
that should even it back down to a low purple
(never let me play sub again)
thanks @gusty mirage!
Does anyone else have (or know of anyone else) that has grey or green parses on this fight? (apart from my own :P)
oxi loves sub !!
calm down we get it you're the #1 all star dps for normal fated nathria
even more on 3 mobs !!
why wouldn't he
cause I'm mediocre at it
in DF we all can enjoy playing shadow dance and find weakness, so we all join the #subtlety club
everytime i ask oxi about sub i feel like im about to die
you can improve any time if you want, but outlaw is atm the hot topic
your fucking head is brighter than spires dude it feels like I'm watching one of those "WORLD BRIGHTEST FLASHLIGHT" youtube videos
it's ok i am a member of Hustlers University 2.0
bugatti + cigar = TOP G
Can’t escape 
No tears, only meows now.
@marble hemlock with the seasonal crit stacking, does assassin get better in keys?
Seems you could hit 100% with trinkets.
no, assassination still has dogshit aoe
whether you have 20% crit, 40% crit or 100% crit
all crit does is increase your cp generation allowing you to spread your ruptures while everything dies in 10s because warlocks, monks, and hunters still exist
Figured. Full bleeds and youre about even with a few black power.
yea
like in theory if things could live long enough
yeah assassination would just get better
because you'd get bleeds rolling faster
it's just everything has burst damage except our class
lol
so packs just get deleted
Happened to me on arms. Big blasting. And everything would die while I was still in bladestorm.
But thats with WW and Survival.
Also Junkyard one
yea its big sadge
I remember throwing down my spear, blade storming
and everything's dead
like yup
there's my damage for the next minute and a half
fun
Still spinning. Like "damn"
Worst part was that their ST is still decent if not great.

I just got my first Logic Loop.
Is there any way for us to reliably trigger this? lol
What about Niya bonded hearts?
stand in bad
crimson vial


I think leech procs it
But you’d have to get under 50% first
And uh
Good luck
So just vendor that and go again
Pretty good read, if anyone hasn't seen it yet... obviously provides good insight into the expert opinion of the author, but if anyone has strong opinions in support or opposition of any of the points made, don't hesitate to let me know, it's a good jumping-off point for topics to rally around and support, or fight against if you disagree

Who could the expert be? 
dont ignore realz
we dont care oxi
stay mad nerd
yes i dont have it but i havent been farming it
278 version? Good thinf it took you 24 runs for all that valor
bruh
100% monk main in denial
varas changed since he went monk
and changed his profile pic to that weirdo from that tv show
in 20 minutes
boys i need emotional support
with 2k valor left for eye of command

I still think Alac and Lethality being 3 pts and not linked to a capstone is a big meme for the class tree. Especially for Sin as Alac is insane dps for us but its payoff (Deeper) is pointless for us.

You got this king 
i COULD play outlaw
Why’s that?
im watching my guild wipe on SLG
I really support the idea of more connectors on the assassination tree. More choice going to the bottom of the tree is good, it doesn't "force" us to go all the way down in a single row for the capstone. And it opens space for more varied builds, other than the 3 builds proposed by Whispyr.
Also, thanks for being available for feedbacks. It sure helps us building an enjoyable rogue for drafonland xD
My suggestion is to link Vigor to Tea and Deeper to Dance. This also opens up the middle of the tree.
and they refuse to take any rogues
what do you think i should play...

Hey Guys, does it any good? or Meh?
we're going 2x rogue
like i would do more damage than all of them
but i have to watch
the other rogue will play outlaw
It’s not very good
so i might aswell be the big man and play assa
It’s an easy to win tho
The beta outlaw player versus the chad assassination gamer
it was -230 dps at 288 over my phial/xymox combo
I gave that away so quick
I’ve inted a few sludge pulls going for a dancer
Everytime one drops, its always fun to say "hey X, nice trinket bro"
Gotta fuel the rage
It’s just the combo
assa necro slg gameplay WAHOO
CN shitter trinkets
HUGE
whats the fated affix
the soak one
DAPS
fotmrogue benched??
I'm home soon
come hang out with me and going cev
Get your ass ready
im so bored
actually sheet can be used as prepull
i killed 3
kill sire easy
theyre gonna wipe for another hour then consider changing comp
but for now they havent realised that a better comp will make the fight easier so
our RL said that the best specs for SLG were "MM, survival and windwalker"
I just want to say that the indiscriminate carnage range issue has been brought up a couple times by not just me. In this diagram with red being enemies and green being the player, there's more than enough control you have to centralize yourself and hit all targets in the light green 10-yard circle with fan of knives/crimson tempest. This happens almost automatically for most people, and in a lot of cases you'll even find people getting out of auto-range in order to get their 10 yard casts in. Having carnage (the blue circles), even when cast on the "best target" in this hypothetical, you still miss out on some adds. And it isn't some make-belief thing either. I ran maybe 4 hours worth of dungeons and had to double take after pretty much every other carnage cast when it inevitably missed mobs that I thought would be just easily hit. I think it was neltharus where it was especially bad. There's a boss in a forge area who spawns mobs, but those mobs are always about 12-15 yards away, and they cast. I can fok and hit them, I can CT and hit them, but carnage only hits the boss. Sometimes one wanders in and the cleave on that is great, but the talent honestly felt unusable without a blood DK mass gripping every other pack together. Maybe it's fine in higher keys when you start to LoS and interrupt things to get them in with an organized group in your big +25 keys, but for the average rogue in a +4 weekly at night 5 beers deep with the lads, it's a nightmare
wall of text
what you practicing
you gonna be near pc?
2mins away
Double hance 
ppl just play what they want
he's gonna sub me in im going to destroy everyone
then shout at him
also just as a petty side note, if you're going to target cap an ability at least let it hit something ;)
(the target cap is definitely justified though)
being petty and sarcastic is at least like 83% of my personality I can't just stop now
Whisp, does acrobatic strike increase the size of carnage by any chance?
that's a good question
Wtf Korruptio is PUBLIC LOGGING???
Are you crazy!!!!
surely necro is better than venthyr on slg
it was warciefts demand or else they wouldnt have enough people to raid
ofc it is
nvm ur a monk main
ok then why are the 2 logs venthyr?
I demand public logs as well
Or it's /gquit time
we are an elite guild that must keep our strats secret
surely you understand that
if they killed slg surely they must be good at the game and know what they are doing, right?!?
I also understand that I can join a hogher wr guild that raids less that public logs
but they havent killed slg
ok bro chill lmao
i was kidding
cev cry
Me too
were you?
Or was I?
The biggest problem in my opinion with the tree is that the paths are very rigid, and I want more talents. Yes, I am incredibly greedy. This part is my main concern for the tree, Points like KB are essentially a 8 point
nocco has advanced strats gotta push the ranks
theyre so secret even we dont know what they are

I think replacing the roster would do more than turning on private logs

cev u dont understand
its an important season
gotta take it serious
no messing about
I'm officially announcing that I am joining NOCCO as the third rogue
I think my blue parses will help shake up the status quo
nocco do you need a handsome rogue?
do you know any?
@balmy condor
smooth
!!! Wonderful news
Not sure if you have Nocco in the US
But maybe they can send you a can or two of monster
we don't even have nocco in germany
please dont meme me im in a lot of pain
they ship to germany
yeah but I'm not gonna ship nocco to my grandmas house in germany are you high
The point about Deeper being pointless makes a lot of sense, but it's also somewhat inevitable for some nodes in a general tree to be more desirable for some specs than others. I hear you on the high value of Alacrity, though... it would
As far as 'meme' tree structure goes, Vigor and Deeper basically are cappers, they just aren't themed around a particular spec. The investment to reach any of them is the same, with the structural idea being: Pass 20 gate --> 3pts of travel --> Capper. The spec-related lines have those 3pts split between a core defensive and a 2pt throughput-related talent, but the outcome is the same (Outlaw has the last two nodes inverted, but still same general idea). Would it feel different if Vigor/Deeper nodes were dragged down to the final row alongside the other cappers?
@balmy condor i just got hit with the "im so glad we have a really good rogue and a rank 2 rogue on the bench"
man finna blow
who's the rank 2 rogue
well its not cev
If Vigor/Deeper were capstones it would feel even worse, I think. I am fine with them where they are, it is the point investment that is the core issue (imo).
With my proposed idea of linking Vigor to Tea and Deeper to Dance, those two capstones also still follow a similar investment as the spec trees (1-3-1, 3-1-1 in this case) and would feel more narural. Vigor and Tea make sense to be linked, Dance giving access to Ambush (more CP for Outlaw and Sub) being linked to Deeper makes sense.
I know I just like hearing you say it
And like I said, this opens up the middle of the tree which right now is severely lacking in reasons for going down it.
links
Wouldn't it just be better all around if you could go down by only spending 1 points or 2 on 3 pointers to go down? As long as captones are met
I also don't think I mention it in the article but dashing being 3 points is kinda weird
Give us the option to go down without having to max out the nodes!
This is at least partly intentional, and I understand how the tree is one of the most different in that regard especially compared to the opposite extreme some specs have. I sort-of agree that the end result is something that feels more rigid than I would like, but at least some of that feeling of multiple nodes of investment required, is something that will make different builds, different paths, different areas of the tree feel like they have a distinct mechanical vibe and flavor... instead of playing essentially the same build all the time and swapping out like 1 node because another one sims 4% higher on the next encounter. Hopefully this doesn't sound dismissive, so don't feel like "He answered this already", if it remains a problem feel free to keep letting me know (and if I come up with an adjustment that is net-positive, we'll go for it)
like scent/zoldyck scale fine with points, each point gives another bonus on top with zold (10/20/30)
but then dashing is like here's the energy for 1 point, and the next 2 give a bit of crit

I also found it weird, the first point is more valuable than subsequent ones... but to scale the energy gain seemed kind of absurd. Also, it's speculative at this point (for the most part), but if you told me it's quite weak for the 3pts invested, that may be true. That said, how much offset is needed to accommodate Dragon-Tempered Blades (if any)? That's related too.
Is the issue that it's offsetting DTB? Or that zoldycks and Kingsbane are weaker?
If so, maybe an argument for making zoldycks more compelling as well, if dashing is buffed for points 2 and 3
I think while you definitely made sure that there are these "regions" of the tree, the core of the tree doesn't quite allow that sort of thinking. People are looking at the tree and going "capstone me want kingsbane me want dragon tempered how do I get there", auto-pathing down to the cool powerful capstone, and then picking up scraps with what's left. Part of is the gates, but it's also just trying to get to a capstone. this tree is essentially the first 20 points of any raid tree, and I now can pick do I go kingsbane, do I go dragon tempered? If I go kingsbane I now have 5 points left from this tree, and the (in my opinion) real choice is now there. Do I go utility with atrophic or do I have another rogue doing it, does it matter for this encounter? Maybe I want sepsis and exsang, that's three points, maybe I want blindside for the execute, that's 2 points, but then doomblade to synergize? that's another point. Maybe cut the chase feels good to me and I'm going to double up on that. Poison Bomb? Those 5 points are a very impactful choice you need to make and play around those "regions". But up until that point you're basically just going left, going right, taking deathmark, and then picking a capstone.
Can I ask a maybe dumb question
Is there a risk that DTB and Kingsbane thematically overlap and tuning will render one irrelevant?
Something small that would make the pathing feel nicer for AoE would be swapping EP and Cut to the Chase, since Cut is seen as more "ST" than EP is taht way you can skip EP for the aoe talent behind it
if I'm looking at kingsbane, there is a single straight shot all the way down to it. I will be taking everything from improved shiv, straight down to kingsbane. Those 9 points are settled, and it might as well also settle EP and Shiv and be 12 points as well because when the tree first branches after deadly poison, I'm picking my path
Kb would be more st when dtb would be better in cleave since they will have more poisons ticking id think
kingsbane can be quite a bit of burst, DTB would be sustained
Well yeah. But we haven't often seen too many cases where that distinction matters more than whichever averages out higher
Sludge comes to mind but otherwise not really
Also, from the DTB side, poison bomb is still a 2 points while we have no clue what the 2nd point changes since its not reflected in tooltip yet
Second point makes it move with the target for when your tank gets ADD and starts randomly running around
probably proc increase
So you think it would be 5% proc rate per combo point per rank?
That would be 50% by rank 2 5 cp
sun king shield, slg shields sorta, the horsemen on sire, adds on inerva if they lived a little longer, add on the eye, add on the nine, overlords on soulrender, orbs on nerzul if they lived a little longer, downstairs on KT, intermission adds on fatescribe, p2 sylvanas, halondrus shields if he didn't get taken out back and shot, downstairs add on anduin, upstairs add on anduin, the add on lords of dread, jailer mc's if someone wasn't stacked.
If that's not enough we can go back to bfa, ra'den orbs, big adds on the dragon boss, tentacles and intermission add on n'zoth, tentacles on carapace, p3 execute on carapace, skitra adds, ashvane shields, blackwater with the swimming downtime, the dog on jadefire masters, pushing the adds into the next room at a certain time on opulence, adds on the king fight, jaina barrier
this is confirmed btw
I don't remember changing talents for these though, is my point. Though I could be wrong
So we're really having an uncap aoe puddle dropping at 50% drop chance?
well yeah you don't remember changing talents for them because there was nothing to change into that would be worth on that
with this, there's a good chance that it will be worth
I mean is it really uncapped if it's a dime-sized floor aoe
but yes
That does very little damage, yes
Procs on carnage too tho?
it procs on envenom
Could have some interesting plays
carnage is not envenom
People would need a high end graphics card if it did that
Would have been funny tho
Okay, it's not much, but I do think there's a way to let the start of one side path be friends with the other
Thing is, imo, we just have too many 3 pointers at 20 capstone+, while other classes mostly have 2 pointers, so they can reach more than 1 very bottom talent


wtf


allows for starting in a left path and ending up in the right one, or vice versa
what kind of cursed shit is this
👁️👄👁️
I like this a lot
do you still get the benefit of preventing someone from cheesing their way to KB/DTB with this?
it's not much but it doesn't break any rules, doesn't ruin the end-of-tree balance, and lets you mix early to mid left points with bottom right points (or vice versa)
gotcha
oh, theres one more potential
2 point poison bomb locked away any DTB+other capstone, because you need 20 to get to there and there's a total of 30 points, with poison bomb/dashing/DTB eating 6 of them, you just don't have enough to get anything else
This lets us potentially decide between VR and MM which I like. Also could drop MA, for whatever reason, if you wanted
I want to drop it because it doesn't work for me

Okay that's too spicy

oh that looks sick

some raid fights won't benefit that much from shrouded, and on the left side it's a boon to the execute build almost for sure (which is an important sub-archetype, imo)
I like the execute nodes flowing into each other
MAKE THE TALENT TREE LOOK LIKE THE COOL S

Avoiding venom rush and tiny toxic 
THATS EXACTLYW AHT I WAS THINKING
no this reminds me of oribos 😦
i forgot about the cool s
nah but like actually I think this creates a lot of choices that were previously not present. This is really good
k I'll have to double-check and make sure there aren't any important negative outcomes, but will consider that for sure
At this point do you also link PK to CT and that far right talent no one takes to Exsang?
asks for feedback > "can we get a cool s pls"
also I'm pretty sure Shiv-amp and Shiv-charge-2 are going to swap places
we're just
like that
probably not, too warping to accommodate, maybe if the meme dream were in place from day 1 =p
also the tree is already so good that "can we get a cool s" is actually top 5 priorities
I'm kinda scared about getting talent tree improvements just because the shadow priests are already breathing down my neck about how our dev actively engages with feedback and they're still waiting for their first blue post
we didnt know we had that much freedom tbf
All the shadowpriests I know are switching rogue
tfw Realz and I having nice convo about Vigor Deeper then Whispyr sidetracks it with
rant
I would never
shadowpriest is not forgotten, it's alpha jeeeeeeeezzzzz
I am an esteemed gentleman of the most serious highest order
put away the doomsayer signs >_<
just a meme, we all know feral is the real forgotten spec
It's like having 9 kids you can't just give one of them ice cream without giving them all ice cream 🙂
even trickier, truly. But also not forgotten
actually heard some of the recent spriest changes are pretty good
I don't want to speak for them but after so many of "it's alpha" the copium supply runs dry
everyone just wants to be heard
very nice article on whead mr whisperino
and wants to have the feeling that there's something on the other end of the pipe
ty mr bolino
we all miss sephuz dearly
Half the bugs in SL alpha went live kekw
the person, not the legendary, that thing sucks
Launch assassination was a 
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz slg
wdym it was fine (6 aura buffs later)
Buddy
well we didn't leave beta until 9.1.5
so
This channel was myself, you, and oshosi

hey now I'd pop back in and give words of encouragement
no shot
I don't actually remember
he's a robot
Cev came in after the second buff iirc
@limber lion you a robot?
it's a serious issue (I need help)
No, you’re not wrong, Cev came in before 9.0.5, but he was even sub at launch
outlaw was strongest and still felt awful
Yeah
like you were slapping the boss with a wet noodle
as sad as that sounds
99 parse, 8th on meters

I was here in 8.3 as well.
Hercleonas 
well all melee except dk was shit in CN
before I ruined his mental
I was talking about shadowlands
But very active in 9.0.5 onwards
God bless
I was here way before Oshosi lol
which boss
That's insulting
heroic sludge
I see how it is
me and seli killed sire before 0.5 as assa show some respect
You were a sub boy Cev 
I killed sire as assassination before .5 i think
First 5% and I dibbed
@limber lion my gf made me lamb shank and potato stew
this + watching nocco wipe is heaven
ngl
some mythic zoldyck action
God damn
the good days 🙂
Truly a dedicated gamer (legitimately was unplayable even then but you still fragged)
Mfw peen was getting all the externals for r1 on deadspec
do u want to hear a story about me and zoldyck on sire

hm
also do you remember the tech on slg where your opener is SBS?
so you can hit grashaal
and get an extra cp on every SBS in p1
the forbidden scriptures
I started playing Assa after the Jan 11th patch
Not sure if first or second buff
You don't even need to do that anymore
Because Deathspike cleaves the other target anyways
:--D
i wasnt sure if they were close enough
It was still infinitely early
but it still has to be your opener right
Yes
Earlier than most that swapped
And you were still gaming 
Yeah you open with sbs 
Oh 
Holy priest just took haste ring ahhhhh
@ebon notch @limber lion rogue bad and loots
??
bro hes not mm surv or ww
wdym
this is NOT GOOD damage
get a GRIP

it's 26.7k more than you apparently
rogue very bad for slg
can u stop ruining my coping mechanism
rogues just very bad for slg nocco is smart to bench them both
Very true
can now watch varas mald on slg as well
your stew mate? 'avin a little 'evning meal there chap?
did you play gsw btw
im thinking i basically go dungeon setup
Yeah but is Cev in too? 
no they only benched 1 shadow priest

It’s more understandable. 2 shadowpriests was a big ??
i think assa is not good on slg
outlaw might be better
slg is dogpoop boss mmmmmmm

Vers trinket secretly op on slg helps you survive choke
How is sin preforming as of late?
It unfortunately shards a slot with mechagon rings
ye until you get the mechagon rings
Otherwise yeah
Decent in raid, bad in m+
twinning
there has to be something with tertiaries & sockets rolling higher
@gusty mirage @limber lion @spice spire @burnt latch WE KILL IT IN 2 PULL
AHHAHAHAHAHA
hard true
next time just loot a dreadfire
sorry I'm too busy padding my parses in normal
while being like 20 ilvl higher than the people doing normal


We ran heroic with average of 272 and kinda stomped
Am I allowed to afk a key if the warlock is doing 6k at 290 ilvl
Yeah
why make for fu n season and make slg
🖕
should've just removed slg
would've been better.
Very based take mister varas
Better than the anduin moment
yeaaa buddy afk assignment

Guys, is Pandemic still a thing for our dots?
I saw a post that they removed in 9.2.5, but some people also claimed it was most likely a bug, but can't confirm if it was fixed or still removed
yes
there was a bug in 9.2.5 but they fixed it

rogue bad btw
not major
thank you!
hopefully a few more functioning abilities at least lol
realz did say no changes
must mean theyre pretty happy with it
or happy enough to not feel the need to rush testing on something drastically different
Hopefully they change Thistle Tea to something else, because right now I don't think we'd ever take it
feels like one of those ideas that was thought up conceptually first before practically in gameplay
just means that they won't focus on rogue this week
the rotation between class updates is pretty strict then huh? few at a time
i dont keep up with the others really
the devs handle multiple classes
what else does Realz do?
so not getting rogue changes for a week or two usually means that other classes are priority first
Dh
Also could be helping with feedback for other classes and stuff like that
He mentioned the trees are collaborative but the ones hes in charge of were rogue and dh
nice. not impatient about it, just curious. i hope the other devs are as receptive/open as realz seems to be
im honestly excited for the DH tree
cus it probably needs the most work out of them all
||they aren't||
Yeah it feels so lacklusters compared to the other capstones
ER doesnt do much for assa
hard to make those class capstones when the three specs value such different things
i mean random huge energy gains might be a pvp idea? idk
Personally I hate it for PvP, haven't seen muchj love for it in the PvP channel
I think energy won't be a problem, especially with Dragon Tempered Blades
yeah. only other case I can think of would be just a filler button for sub outside of dance or outlaw on a really unlucky dice roll. but like, why bother even when you could take something else lol
I think getting both DS and Vigor could be interesting for PvP maybe
Instead of Thistle
tbf at least some of them (hunter guy) are
Hey guys, is it worth to grind the legion ring next week over the mecha ones? Thank you
Thanks 🙂
is fae better than venthyr? asking for a friend
Nimble Fingers vs Gouge, which talent is better?
you promise? the ferals are doomering
times change 😔
Nimle Fingers is awful
at 5 energy
i think the main issue with a lot of the conduits
they are all the baseline version
which some are fine
others just arnt useful
if he works at blizzard and says druid isnt forgotten that means work is being done
delete this rn
i've been trying to get the doomerism to stop, i know blizz won't let it go live in its unplayable state, but they're inconsolable. they just want some kind of a confirmation that it's going to be changed
for venth is nadija still the best soulbind for raid ? Fuu's http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz has theotar listed
theo assumes full use of the umbrella buff. People didn't play it in sepulcher because every fight for the most part had a shit ton of movement
you can play either one
i see, thanks for the clarification 😉
pog
Gz
Is it worth swapping to assa for upper kara if I want to do the most dmg possible or will venthyr bb outlaw still be better?
how high of a key are you running? just give it a shot
Like 22
eh, just go for it
Ok
it's not like it's crazy cleave heavy
report back how it feels
personally I won't lie I like the longer arms on aran, but really that's cope
Well I’m going sleep now, was just wondering for tomorrow since it’s the last tyra day for me
thoughts on covenant for Santum tomorrow?
Venthyr still - I legit don’t think there’s a fight where you’d want to be Necrolord or cheesy enough for nf. Maybe NF on eye?
i thought of NcL for Eye
don't think there's a reason for that
necro was cheeks on eye when it was current
Nah, I memer it quite a bit during sod season, but I feel venthyr is definitely better
if CN tuning is anything to go by, eye should be a breeze and adds should live like half a second
Yeah
if anything venth is probably just straight up better depending on how easy it is to burn down, shorter CDs
are the machagon rings gonna be better than the CoS ring + kara ring?
Yes
!fuu

lo
How bad is the nature damage ring, really
I did 63 workshops this week and I'm tapping out for now with nature ring
Fml :(
It simmed worse than keeping dusk on ring with CoS
But that might be because i got 304 chest
that's for sure a big factor
Either way I'm sad and I don't wanna do more workshops
for a 304 for you tomorrow
diffrence between "3 spells" and "behind the target" is not super high tho
I'm already mentally preparing for tomorrow to be a nightmare of yelling at my gm for sitting on painsmith and sylv
