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

night delta
#

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

does indiscriminate carnage really help on a 1.5m cd for M+?

#

probably needs to be 45secs

#

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

bleed damage is high

it's a great cooldown

Added range PauseChamp

I guess Blizz thinks "indiscriminate" means "about arm's length"

balmy condor
#

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

viscid spear
#

At least it's not a targeted AoE like RoF or Wild Spirits starege

balmy condor
#

Cause you’ll be 5+ yards away from stuff and it doesn’t matter

balmy condor
#

Wild spirits targeting reticle for carnage is an improvement

@balmy condor hello sir, have you considered the POISON?

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

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?

royal lantern
#

@balmy condor allright, who forced you too write that

#

blink twice if you are hold hostage

balmy condor
#

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

dawn merlin
#

That's fair

#

Thanks for the insights once again

balmy condor

#

if I was able to talk in depth about each talent the article would've been 40,000 words instead of 4000

subtle tundra
#

you seem knowledgeable

spice spire
#

4000 words doesn’t even cover seli’s thoughts on garrote

balmy condor
#

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

#

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.

he said a good spread of parse numbers, not 100's all the way through

that should even it back down to a low purple

@marble hemlock with the seasonal crit stacking, does assassin get better in keys?

Seems you could hit 100% with trinkets.

gusty mirage
#

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

lone junco
#

Figured. Full bleeds and youre about even with a few black power.

gusty mirage
#

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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

ebon notch
#

@subtle tundra found a guild for you

#

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.

strange python
#

Can I ask a maybe dumb question

#

Is there a risk that DTB and Kingsbane thematically overlap and tuning will render one irrelevant?

vast loom
balmy condor
#

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

ember remnant
#

Kb would be more st when dtb would be better in cleave since they will have more poisons ticking id think

balmy condor
strange python
#

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

ember remnant
#

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

strange python

probably proc increase

ember remnant

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

So we're really having an uncap aoe puddle dropping at 50% drop chance?

balmy condor
#

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

balmy condor

but yes

limber lion

Procs on carnage too tho?

balmy condor

it procs on envenom

ember remnant

sharp falcon

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

violet jackal
#

i'm listening

#

👀

ember remnant
#

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

balmy condor

the talents are going to kumbaya?

ebon notch

#

yeh that's handled by the gate

#

you're point limited by the time you get down there

sharp falcon
#

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)

gusty mirage
#

gotcha

sharp falcon
#

oh, theres one more potential

balmy condor
#

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

I think I like it just because I can now avoid tiny toxic

sharp falcon

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)

ebon notch

thats probably what i like the most

grizzled jay

At this point do you also link PK to CT and that far right talent no one takes to Exsang?

icy agate

also the tree is already so good that "can we get a cool s" is actually top 5 priorities

kindred rapids

this kind of feedback is why

I'm confident we'll have the best tree

balmy condor

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

what else does Realz do?

balmy condor

so not getting rogue changes for a week or two usually means that other classes are priority first

I think energy won't be a problem, especially with Dragon Tempered Blades

cerulean nest

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
