yes exactly
the general problem is more like: in a perfect world, all specs for all classes have strenghts and weakness, but are always valuable
in reality the balancing is like "this spec does more AoE dmg, but still the same ST dmg, so it just wins"
just look at the target cap change as an example, they added target caps, and un-capped specs STILL did more dmg at 5targets then, a fury warrior that can only dmg 5 targets as an example
+the fact that blizzard is so frking slow with patches/updates
Me doin a lil wave hello
the general problem is more like: in a perfect world, all specs for all classes have strenghts and weakness, but are always valuable
exactly what I'm trying to say.
like, if your spec is bad during a patch launch, congratzt, you will probably stay bad for 4-7 months
wait u have a tail to wave with?
if not for more
Yes
Depends who’s asking
in a perfect world my favorite spec is the best 
if they would do more frequent updates, most problems would not be there tbh
furry confirmed
huh?
Which ones :/

I agree that it takes too much time for them to balance around stuff
Brethren
like there's super obvious broken stuff that stays for too long
9.2 was kinda like this for rogue
like S4 demon i nraids
They done frequent updates on beta but we still tuned way below outlaw and it's a release build
Hmmmmmm
Jez for both (I hope)?
No actually
"we cant nerf destrolock and surv hunter because it would mess up our PRECIOUS MDI META"

Surv is pure trash right now though
Wait when did you get them? Maybe 5-6 days ago?
i think expecting any sort of relevant buff has been a pipe dream for weeks
that was the most stupid shit i ever read back then
"we cant nerf it, then the abusers cant time their keys anymore xD"
just
Probably around 4 months ago
bruh
Jesus this channel is on fire
i mean AFTER launch buddy
like, if they still do it, sure, its cool
I’m gonna be honest, they started yelling about balance and I stopped reading
I’m chilling with my cat
Jealous
but like, if we have to wait 5months again just to read "rupture now does 10%more dmg uwu" im not even suprised tbh
I don't think we were yelling, at least I wasn't. I was trying to have a conversation
Whats the cats name?
cus that how most balance patches worked until now lol

It better be Exsanguinate
Im chilling with 2 cats aswell

When the mpm goes over 60 it’s yelling 
I just wanna see beta patch notes tomorrow:
- all spells fixed to actually fucking do what they say on tooltip. Yes this means double kingsbane

- scent of blood buffed by 200%, and now only applies the bonus for each ruptured target beyond your first
- cold blood has been removed.
Sin fixed gg promote me to dev
I’m yoking
Lillian Voss spec for rogue 2.0
Don’t take me seriously pls unless I’m giving actual advice 
Nah yelling is just what I call people having a civil discussion (the voices in my head are overpowering)
so, a rogue that always charges in and fucks shit up, and needs the player to fix it?

yes
btw, ramlu in spec channels is weird
kingsbane is affected by mastery right
I was making a quesadilla yesterday and I was just watching the cheese melt
And my brain went “stick your face in it and have it melt with the cheese”
Was a fun one
become one with cheese
Like actually?
Well no, because flesh has a much higher melting point
why is it so ROUND
I would just get burns
wow whisper did you do it?
ong
No one fucking knows at this point they decide this at random
if how i looked got leaked everyone would only be talking about my ass ong

considering how many other things dont affect it, it just made me think "wait does it" lol
You don’t have intrusive thoughts?
Fucking normie
I can't be assed to log in and do 15 mins of testing for each of these interactions anymore till blizz decides what they want


YO TRUE
how can someone not have intrusive thoughts ?
Big same
You're telling me you've never had the urge to jump down a cliff or in front of a subway? Jeez must be nice
I have alot of weird thoughts
Give the train a big hug
I’ve not.
call of the void
And I’m sorry a lot of you have 
Do you not have an inner voice either
I smoke alot of pot to keep my self from thoughting
I do have an inner voice
what if i just dont press the breaks at all
Really cause when I smoke I think way more
Outlaw pov
XDDDDDD
But it’s mostly just inner monologue/stay on task stuff
all gas no breaks
I've never understood how people without inner dialogue think. Like how does that work
my inner voice is my intrusive thoughts 
There was a study done about this actually
What's worse is there are some people who can't picture things. Like legitimately they can't imagine images
You know how you can just do 2+2 in your head and know it’s 4, without hearing it’s 4?
It's a condition called Aphantasia
It’s like that
Alot of people do not have an inner monologue
Disgusting
I think anybody without one is a sociopath tho
Yeah but why do I know 15x15 is 225?
Sounds weird but pretty cool at the same time
Because you did your multiplication table
You're a nerd?

isnt that because it got repeated so many times ppl tend to think about 4 without knowing it ?
Yeah but how else would you explain it
Nah dude my brain does this for every multiplication
my inner voice is 80% english
im german btw
shit is weird
the real twerk
I was about to ask if you were ESL, @royal lantern that is weird
im sorry
im really sorry for you whispr
Do you spend a lot of time messaging/speaking English?
nobody should go trought that
!cev
I can think in 3 languages
hmm is there something that wasnt repeated and its stuck in our head ?
I had a dream in Spanish a few times
playing videogames on english since im 8

I had a dream once that i had a vagina and tried masterbating.... Woke up with my finger covered in shit
cus german VA SUCKS hard
I do it like 15x10 = 150, 15x5 = 75, 150 + 50 + 25 = 225 that's like the full thought process i go through, looks way more complicated than it is if i write it though 
Makes sense to me
Mods delete
autlaw brain
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
In grade school I had to do 45 problems in 90 seconds
ye please xD... Im getting an error all of a sudden with his plater
Unsure if he’s updated
Vendetta deleted Plater destroyed
This is the biggest who asked I've seen in my life
@limber lion have you updated your plater? I haven’t logged on since prepatch sorry king
I didnt come up with that but its a funny one liner

I think sin should get killing spree instead of deathmark

If that happened I'd Killing myself spree
TRUE

Plater has been having a ton of issues for alot of my guildies
i think sin and sub should be combind
i use built in Elvui plates tho
Wait guys I got another question
I think we should just build a cage around #outlaw and trap them all
Monkey exhibit at the zoo
I play it but im here
I’m starting to think we should do the same for #assassination
add bladeflurry to sin problem solved

Yes man

Sin players playing outlaw = 
Outlaw players playing outlaw = 
fartd
Lock me in here with a bunch of guys see if I care
hawt
we wrestling?
add bladefurry for me and assa will be good, trust me
plater still works 100%, just getting this error in my chatlog all the time
Hop in the bus we goin to the ram ranch
Yes, third legs only
We need a sin shitpost/complain channel and a regular sin channel
remove cast - glowing script from plater
it's not updated
buddy you're in it
No we don’t, people don’t play this spec
and then it just leads into the normal assa channel
so ur saying we need a new channel to be a regular channel
Yes

its prepatch
prepatch is silly
If sin is shit I feel like we should follow suite and shitpost
I refine my sin mechanics every day 
I wont troll here much come df
Can't play it = nothing to talk about gameplay wise
Yep
I feel like most of the regulars in this channel have painstakingly been playing sin for a long time now lol
pressing N and clicking on the middle spec?
We are a patient lot
if the spec does damage it will get played, until it does dmg its 
i mean, for me its more like
:<
Waiting for buffs between gcds
i DO play other specs,i played more outlaw then assa during SL
I'm one of them so its cool lol
Cringe!
4th buff assa gets in beta and its still not good at anything, like what
but i REALLY dont wanna play outlaw anymore and just play assa without feeling bad
and rn we dont have that
I only played outlaw when it got buffed towards the end of tier 3... Sin boy here bb
just feel good lol? 
thanks, depression cured wtf
tbh its fun to switch over specs from time to time
They’re focused to try to smooth it out.
It’s not like 4th aura buff to omegabloat it.
Plus it just got rid of a 51% aura buff
glad to help 
I like when i get to play sub tbh
eew why is Deathmark on the gcd
like do one raidday with sin instead of outlaw
Sub is fun but Sin just always feels so fluid and feels the most complete to me
cus it does dmg and does a bleed
Because it’s strong
daddy vendetta wasn't 😠
daddy vendetta was weaker
deathmark is an actual attack
Vendetta was a weaker Cd.
Get used to it buddy
fk off 🙂
Vendetta? More like Forgetya
:c
no hate btw
ha, gotem
Why everyone toxic today
Sadge
NNN really got you lot wildin
heck
first step of playing sin is denying the other specs
because you were on one this morning
You started it by saying you in one of those moods
cos we're assassination rogues. duh
i dont really know where to ask but how to i get into end game content? want to get into raids and dungeons but i dont really have many friends who play. Any advice is appreciated (asking here cause i play assa)
i think i failed NNN 2hours in 
why u hatin on vendetta 
The quad ping 
vahing a personal vendetta against it
Ask and you shall receive
nah srsly, boring cd
look for a guild. theres a reddit for recruitment and raider io has a recruitment thing
I am on one, but more of a yoking one. Kess toxic
make it 5
it gave 60 energy in 3 seconds ill have you know
is deathmark extremely special? nah, but it fits assa WAY more
1 additonal mutilate 
That makes sense, there’s a guild recruitment discord + forums. Guilds are a really good Avenue for this
Just be happy they gave us KB back
6* unreal
We had vendetta since 4.0/4.1 no? It's like parting ways with your baby now that he's old enough

give it us back to not be picked u mean
It'll become meta at some point
i'm happier about SS even if it feels less necessary with IC
I feel it in my bones
shrouded suffocation just feels so gud
we probs play SS for st all the time aswell

Ur feeling it? It's not even playable
i think the only way KB becomes the pick is if its overbuffed or DTB is nerfed quite a bit
If I give 700% on my outlaw hate and 50% of it gets through, we did it
Just make it actually interact with all the passives it should and it will be playable
@balmy condor did you finish the CT logic last night
hahaha… yeah… totally…..

id hope so. i love the idea of having 2 poisons but i prefer having a nice cooldown to press
If kingsbane was:
- affected by mastery, zoldyck, dashing, lethal dose, lethality it's probably playable
And dungeonslice wants it really high
And the middle is shit for both
It’s an important test for flexibility
Don’t bring logic to this
yea spread me
Let me dunk damn
45 min till testing

Surely I can get the line done
Bro you’ve been doing a lot of lines recently
You gonna stream testing?
Cool I’ll troll your chat

what testing
Raid testing
whos streaming sin gameplay testing
Beta raid I’m assuming
THE testing
Elasticity of your moms flaps
Oof

black hole
Me 

Hold up
If it wasn’t 2pm on a work day 
Glad everyone’s having an easy workday on a Friday 🤣🤣
Gross
My workweek starts on Fridays
I bet you’re salaried too
SAME BESTIE

Black Friday finna be lit, have to basically work, come home to sleep, go back to work until the end of December

pain
I remember working at BB during Black Friday/holidays
I did my screening today, so heck the back end
Do not miss that
Also @viscid spear I definitely have that noted for raid 
single moms beating eachother for a screwdriver that is 90% off
Or a shitty tv that’s marked down to $300
Please don’t kill yourself to play a video game. If you need rest, skip. Srsly
Real question is who’s stoked for their drake later this month?
fuck sin outlaw drama
You won't notice 
Dragon Deez

so... outlaw is literally just blade flurry? ive been trying it out so I can get invited to m+ groups but it's pretty boring....
is there a world in which ass gets invited for prio dmg? 😄
and shroud ofc
probably not
pretty much. should rename the spec to it
Its more than BF but nah
flurry is really really good
i'm leveling up a rogue for the first time. still only level 40. but yeh.
ok so ill just get used to going outlaw then for m+ T_T
Could always play sub for m+ too
^
Better prio dmg and it still gets down
ooh i thought sub wasn't looking too hot
I mean you can do sin for M+; just understand that on packs your aoe won't be so great. You'll see solid numbers on boss dam though
i mean obviously we dont know bc tuning but still
yeh thats why i was hoping prio or boss dmg was enough to justify rolling ass
but also depends on comp as well.
i think our last chance of any relevant buffs will be the balances around the first raid week
considering the state weve been in since the aura nerf in september
what aura nerf?
O_O
yeh thats what i said it was. was still a nerf
but since then we havent really recovered from it
It wasnt that crazy
was enough to put us in the position we're at now
Not to the point where you could say "we never recovered from it"
and we were already way behind outlaw before that
Prepatch is wonky and we need those extra 10 points
But during fated sin was fine
Sin wasnt THAT far behind pirate during fated
Any data right now (current state, not beta) is wonky so I’d take it with a large grain of salt
Yeah
Just enjoy the content, learn the new stuff tuning can be fixed whenever 
I took a WFH day the tuesday after drop day
💪
it got buffs
i need sloppy toppy
hi
so I got this item to upgrade into heroic quality, is Edge of night worth upgrading or something else?
well a heroic EON will carry you pretty far into DF most likley
eon is our bis weapon afaik. whispyr told me even the 285 weapon is better than any high ilvl non eon weapon
so id say upgrade it if u can
did they fix the deathmark and duskwalkers yet
kk
id be surprised if they did tbh. theres more important things to do less than a month till df launch
instead of fixing dusk they should spend their time deleting exsanguini
There’s no incentive whatsoever to change the verbiage to deathmark
It won’t matter in 3 weeks
exactly
Realz don’t even like exsang
But it’s still in the tree 😩
Dude said he just pretends it doesn’t exist 🤣
blizz have been pretty on point with a lot of feedback with the talents in beta so far. so its weird that the biggest contention point for assassination has been ignored
You’re gonna like this talent god damnit and you’re gonna fucking use it!
pretty much
replace sanguini with something that gives sin quick aoe
everyone : we hate it, really hate it
blizz: nah u love it really
well ct does big instant dmg
Or the famous "We want choice to matter" as we shiver in locked covenants
There’s an ability that lets you spread garrote and rupture to@5 targets as well
Yeah it’s a fun idea
im thinking like something spriests and now ferals have where it spreads dam from one of their big hitters to other mobs
it still baffles me that classes that also use dots have such easy ways to spread their dots, yet we have to sacrifice basically all ST damage to get even the ability to do it
Shiv to your hearts content now
I mean, In the end, it’ll end up being what it’ll end up being.
I’m gonna do my best to play sin because I’m a filthy one trick
But worst case, I play a different flavor of rogue
2x Edge of Night still bis, yas? 😄
even more so now; banshee's blight is super over tuned rn
You mean warrior?
Sure 
Weird how sin/sub still bottom then
Sin feels so good to play. I just wish I could play it in keys
Quakewar is a saint
What's the use with 2 daggesr IF I may ask? Does it stack 2x as much?
Unless you’re pushing above 25s, you 1000000% can
I think it’s more like my damage already suffers because I’m bad so I need to play what’s overtuned 😅
Im not too sure; I was outlaw up until prepatch so I only had one. Now I have two so if I really had to guess; it just looks 2 times as cool
same 😄 Just got my 2nd 298
hell yea grats; go stabby stab; in game of course
Working on rotation practice @sour elm
In keys I run sin and arms.
My favorite specs are what I’d describe as “mid as fuck”


either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain
Real
I was wonderign today - why is Zoldyck not good? I here all the time from raiders that execute dmg is really valuable
That’s what he yelled at me during keys
“Idk push the flashing buttons”
thats the outlaw guide
press flurry press bte then for some reason my combo points are always full even though I didn't hit anything

LOL
Welcome to the good life
You didnt even have dreadblades for insane CPs
Have you been vanishing 
Bless
Combo Points and Energy Regeneration are the same thing as Outlaw
spec was also nice and slow
out of nowhere
but then insta popped to like 200 apm
I have no idea why these things happen
Hello i have a question, is the covenant spell from necro bugged ? i just did a dungeon, and it was clearing himself on every monsters (i didn't get a single hit from a dot)
Extremely accurate tbh
yeah you need to talent into sbs with necro
or just go venthyr and talent sbs and get both
ok thx
hello hows raid testing going, oh, outlaw channel you say? alright then, cya later
LOL
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
Isnt raid testing over
He's streaming right now
45mins
idk
But he swapped back to sin
Wait
is there M+ or anything today i dont know the schedule i just assumed something was available
It's raid testing today yes
I thought raid testing was done like weeks ago
ok good
He's streaming raid testing atm
'he'
Whispyr
How is there still raid testing
where would you place yourself on the graph
Turns out I wasn’t the only one on one today 
I only press 1 button (cast sequence)
i press buttons (cause i play outlaw)
hey now.
whispyr was doing 60-70k as well completely clueless on outlaw
but he prefers struggling on sin doing 50k
FOR SCIENCE

he is testing ^^
hey i also play assa in m+ testing
I was topping meters on Feral on Council
he did acknowledge sin wasnt made for this fight but still play it
feral 
now I only see myself on details with [X]Always Show Me enabled

:')
Do you see fotmpala
Is he playing exsang
dont look like it
he has absolutely lost his mind
sin is dangerous people let it be known
i mean
yeah but that guy is shit

hey tom brady plays wow
Are we witnessing a mental breakdown from our guy whispyr?
Nah he's doing fiiiiine
dem tears of blood on dps

Sin looks aight on this fight
whispyr is just too busy reading chat
What are the stats for legoes rn? crit haste?
it always has been
cool, never know if it changes or not tho
question on the pins for exsang/DM/vanish
Exsang should be used on cooldown; before or after using DM?
Vanish being used during deathmark to reapply garrote; why during, or why not before?
and what would all 3 look like?
(some combo of exsang+DM+vanish) > exsang > exsang > (some combo of exsang+DM+vanish)
Always before.
Because you want to maximize the duration of empowered garrotes and because you open from stealth you would only waste 20+ seconds of empowered garrotes by vanishing early for Deathmark.
Rup/Gar reapplied to max+pandemic - Exsang - Deathmark - Vanish when Exsang Garrote drops - Garrote
would you use exsang once or twice inbetween DM/vanish? it says on cd but wouldn't it be better to line exang up with DM?
On cd means dont line it up
You use it before DM in opener then on cd with bleeds not in pandemic i think
You reapply bleeds before Exsang*
Yeah that
You use Exsang on CD and hold Deathmark for Exsang instead
:---)
Didnt catch all the newest tc
Refreshing 20 second rupture FeelsGoodMan
cev pls hide reasonable looking logs for non-outlaw it ruins the narrative
that :---) is making me question holding dm for exsang 😐
cev -> reasonable
yeah okay bud
Realz is it possible for you tune us so we do more damage in all situations than all other classes
Oops i was fishing
Realz tune us better than all other classes in all situations
just give sin blade flurry then they will be happy
idk cev is doing just fine
im getting externals
without i do 10k
@limber lion show feral
no time
remove outlaw and give its stuff to assa and sub
thats how superheroes are made
just make rogue into 1 class no specs
combine all cds
combine everything
hero class created
new class is called raven and u can fly permanently even in combat
a class for heroes
The cat is looking super juicy right about now
I might have to put on the cat ears as well
ew breath of sindragosa
can anyone point me towards juicy sin logs on beta?
Juicy?
google.com ceverion rogue assassination log
Who's gonna tell him
oh you 
its right next to the flying pigs and frozen hell
just finished digging through logs. the narrative remains true. outlaw is slapping and sin is napping
0.1% council wipe
in comparison outlaw is in the 90k range for similar length fights
That's a 4 target fight
I would hope that Outlaw wins
I would personally pull out the torch and pitchfork if it didn't
cev slide me yours? ❤️
how many targets is grimtotem on mythic?
If they nerf outlaw they nerf our class 
I didn't play Assa on Council
yeah grimtotem looks pretty similar number wise across the board
outlaw was best
All sin cfs/SBs gonna be wearing cat ears
Add cleave fight outlaw should win, does that mean that assass should win at ST? Lol
Unreal
the point is that this raid has a lot of add wave/cleave bosses. if a spec is only good at patchwerk its a bad spec
i feel like the blizz goal is to make everyone equal at ST then they are just cool with wild outliers in cleave/aoe, even though that's most raid fights
thats just a stupid argument overall
cus the far majority of fights are not ST patchwerk with you going afk hitting the boss until its dead
+that means that many specs are dead by default for m+,wich is content they push more and more each expansion
but sure, let outlaw be better then the other 2 specs by default cus it is "the cleave spec" or something like that 
I was only joking lol bc assass is always mentioned as the ST niche spec, I mean they literally were the only spec in the game with their big damage CD only usable on a single target lol. I was only making fun of it
It should be, works fine for me in retail and in beta. I can try re-exporting it later tomorrow or the day after if I remember hah.
I've heard Whispyr tried outlaw for the first time 
Sick ty
That’s it. Im rolling cat. Same thing as ass right
didnt go too well 
by the time assa is better outlaw already moved on to the new expansion
we've moved on to next expansion right now
and I can say : assa is not better than outlaw
I believe in a new 9.1 era for sin, but without domination sockets 
good news everyone
frost set assa 
Are stat weights at least the same for outlaw and ass if I’m gonna have to roll both specs for different ig hrs
sin buffs
Different fights*
I heard he rolled his head on his keyboard with bladefurry up and did more dmg than sweating on assa aoe rotation
they're releasing higher ilvl gear in DF so your dmg should go up on release!
played without db 
ik this probably isnt the best place to ask but does anyone know what the best route to go for leatherworking leading up to raid?
i was testing myself so i couldn't see the whispyr outlaw in all its glory
if you want gear then leather gear I guess
if you want money ask the resident goblins
might be a #wow-general question 
it was no good
I have no idea where the energy or cp come from
they just appear

wasting pistol shot procs cause I'm already on 5cp
forgetting to bte
forgetting to flurry
chat telling me to play dreadblades
I talent into it
forget to use it because I thought its already on
because every generator is capping my cp
u didnt have enough combo points as outlaw
We need more CP, go Ace up your sleeve 
Resources don’t matter
Missed most important part… whispyr… still did sin damage 🙂
Just press buttons
I stand my ground on saying you need to be an absolute crack addict on 7 doses of adderal to play outlaw optimally
Bless up
sounds like heaven a nightmare
perfect description of the spec 
Me af while playing outlaw
generate
spend
procs
its more do i go get normal leather armour or do i want to go for the flaring cowl which does aoe fire damage
imagine trying to play outlaw without help WAs up the wazoo
outlaw is a spec that just needs WAs even james started using em
I really don't know and I think most don't either
fair
own the braindead-ness, program the heck of all your was to always have a button lit
and just hit that
PoV you're playing Ssin in raids trying to out dps outlaw
if you dont have at least half your buttons glowing when you play outlaw ur doing sth wrong
in the first place
peak WA is when you have only ever 1 button lit
hardcode your rotation logic into them
disregard learning class
autopilot
typing way to quick for a sin player 

approaching 60 apm here 
If you look closely
the left hand spams the same 2 buttons (A-D)


60?? whoa calm down u might get RSI
💀💀💀💀💀.
I’m definitely doing 60 apm when I play sin (I’m messaging my guild in between abilities)
get to watch stuff on netflix before u need to refresh dots
How do you think I’ve watched 700 episodes of one piece in 45ish days 💀
im doing 60 apm on sin also (writing guild applications between spells bc im kicked for playing sin)

Skill issue
im doing 60 apm (im telling my friend about how I got accepted into world 50 guild on sin)
(good ending)

im doing 60 apm (trying to import all my outlaw WAs during my spells bc they have time to fully import in-between)
bruh its so hard
using abilitys on cd
totaly not like almost all specs in the game
actually true when you have 7 abilities that are all up, all the time
your 4apm assa brain cant handle outlaw
because you just restless blades 30sec cdr every 10 seconds
it's hyperbole right ?
yes
padme face
you have $10 and you buy two cokes for 10mins and a burger, now the first coke only last 2.5mins then you spend less to the burger and buy another coke, still $10. The difference transferred to burger difference not money wise.
Just got back from my S4 break to try all the new stuff, catching up a bit on gear as I'm running stuff. Any suggestions for what trinket to get from the 3rd Dinar. Cache still good?
this is so relatable and true bestie

yep cache gud
I used my third dinar for transmog cause why the heck not
I wish I could have taken a longer s4 break
But fomo got the Better of me
you aint alone
So true, bestie
What are people playing for shrouded bounty in keys? I've been going crit for seal fate but I'm unsure if it's the best option
been using haste
crits always a good default for sin in m+
How convenient I was about to ask the same thing
Is 35% crit g ood enough to take haste or shoudl I just take more crit
im at 23% haste
haste loses like some value because of energy regen but it doesnt do nothing because it still increases bleed tickrate
mastery is pretty good in aoe too
but crit is usually the best bet
🫡
Sin stat priority:
Who cares just not vers
I have tea for ST but yeah I was wondering if mastery wins for overall increase over crit. I'm at 45% crit base so I'm worried I'm hitting a diminished value
i think fok should generate 2 cp baseline. it feels so bad when u use it in a group of like 8 mobs and only get 1 cp cos none of them crit
It felt kinda fine to me on 4 target council today
Yeah but then you never hit ER cp
With ER the low cp foks don’t actually feel bad
Weird how it works
ER actually pretty smooth these days
theres just such a range between the cp generation
Maybe this Realz guy actually kinda knows what he’s doing
we still have exsang so u sure about that
unacceptable needs more exsang

imagine hating exsang

ive got better things to hate with my limited time
like outlaw
like m*n
I think hating exsang is a better use of your time
Cause think about it like this
Hating outlaw when you’ll never play it
Doesn’t do anything
Hating exsang and getting it to be a talent you use
That’s a W
Good thing no one asked for your opinion
you mean "you want to use" ?

lets band together and hate warlocks
Is ER still mainly good because its a cheap, big hitting generator, or is there actually some good benefit to the animacharging portion?
It’s some extra damage
And you can count it as free combo points
Since it empowers 2-3-4-5 and all of them give 7cp finishers, you’re essentially getting 5-4-3-2 cp for free
Yeh
Just kinda brainstorming if it could be made into a good passive skill allowing empowered combo points at some point later in the expansion considering the lack of passive capstones in our class tree. But that change alone could likely just make it bad.
its kinda funny because before sub and outlaw basically had a passive animacharge on their trees initially
it got removed so the functionality would be ER's thing
yeah, and I liked the idea of those more than ER
I think they both were lol
but I liked the concept better and would have liked for them to just be tuned to not be ass
but you can't really touch shadowdance and thistle tea being made passive defeats the purpose of the entire ability. ER seems the best option for some passive tweaking if we ever went that route while TT would likely need a full redesign or replacement. Neither of those are likely in the short term though.
my preferred solution would be a thistle tea replacement
I'd prefer both honestly lol
do outlaw or sub like CB for anything or is it just as dead of a talent?
idk maybe
and i'm speaking more from individual ability perspective and not related to pathing/lack of points
its just giga boring
definitely agree with that
cold blood is a relic ability from an era where snapshotting dot crits was a thing, and from when it was good in pvp
It'd be easy for blizzard to see after a season how little it's taken and probably put it up there for needing to be looked into. Not sure how they'll figure the same for talents that are just taken along the way for points/pathing that no one really likes to take but have to though
"capstones" dont have that problem though
Don't actually know if it every snapshotted dots in the past, but it definitely benefited from gameplay being ALOT slower, and finishers being a big chunk of damage compared to health pools
in the modern game a 45s 100% crit buff just isnt very cool
it affects one instant damage ability
compare it to something similar like MA which affects all your spec based damage in a 3s window, including dots, finishers, builders, whatever
MA is basically better cold blood
I'd definitely like to see some more interesting passive options though that could possibly change things up. Empowered combo points seems like a good opportunity for that if done right. Just 1 or 2 short CDs too many got thrown at us imo.
Hi friendly thieves, one question that I failed to search extensively online for.
Do rogues still use snapshots in any way for bleeds, let's say for Shrouded Suffocation Garrote at the last seconds when a normal Garrote comes in with pandemic. Does the rest of Shrouded Suffocation still tick?
Kind of on that topic, and not sure how much Realz can speak to it as it's likely much larger than him, but I'm curious how class/talent tree changes will be tackled through out the expansion. He's here out of his own accord (we appreciate it), but patch cycle development is certainly different than an expansion beta. Very much enjoyed the alpha/beta iteration brainstorming and hope we can see some of that through the expansion and less "this will have to wait for 10.x or next expansion" like classes have had in the past.
Shrouded suff is passive btw
Sorry, I meant, Improved Garrote thing.
improved garrote snapshots though i believe
But we do gar snd gar in opener
It’s not really a true snapshot
But the whole garrote is buffed until you reapply
and exsang (barf)
The only snapshot sin has is a haste snapshot on exsang
Other than that it’s all fair game
If I reapply while the improved garrote is on, does it go into pandemic and the old full one ticks or get's completely replaced?
Let's say 3 seconds left to improved garrote then I put a normal version in.
garrote is buffed as long as your imp garrote buff is still going
if you reapply with no buff, it loses the buff
Pandemic only applies to duration
Damage is entirely based on the new application at the time of application
If you don’t have improved garrote on reapplying
You don’t get the new buff
The new garrote is weaker
So you guys let it fall completely to 0 to re-apply?
Yes
Boy, have I been doing this wrong..
in theory you would probably refresh on the last tick? right
if it was an imp garrote, yes. Otherwise you can pandemic refresh it if it was a normal garrote
Yeah ofcourse, I really thought it kept the improved garrote in there somehow, but no.
But for Rupture, it's irrelevant the combo points refresh right? (except for energy value)
we could keep an empowered garrote going forever if that was the case lol
CP only affects duration for rupture
damage is the same
Nah, I meant only for the remaining duration of the improved one.
But thanks, this helped a lot. And by Whisp himself, thanks guys.
ahh, but yeah, if you overwrite it with a regular garrote you still lose the empowered few seconds of that garrote. Let it go to 0.
Yep, I was doing this silly mistake for years of re-writting the last 2-3 seconds of the improved one. 😦
same with garrote/rupture when you use exsang
pretty sure those are the only 2 cases
unless im missing something
You could vanish then garrote for another improved garrote to pandemic it, but not sure if sims point to that being worthwhile. Might need to hold for deathmark
No cause then you lose the partial :)
We are partial tick enjoyers
OSRS Player reads ticks in my wow class discord 
isnt the only time u overwrite improve garrote with normal during the opener the refresh in dm window?
Yeah
just before it runs out
Pandemic from empower to empower is fine cause the total duration is still the same
Normal to normal is fine too
Normal to empowered is chill as well
Only issue is empowered to normal
That’s the one you let finish
if ur syncing up vanish with DM i cant imagine many places during a boss fight when ud even overwrite imp with normal
cos if u are ur basically doing ur opener again
i have been 
But it’s bad
Thanks guys, your support and friendly approach is really nice to hear, appreciate it.
how come? last i saw u mention something the other day about not understanding why the sim put vanish at the end of the DM window
but i dont know much more than that
Yeah
It’s cause with an unknown fight time
You would lose like a fifth of a Deathmark on a regular sim
And that’s worse than the loss of syncing vanish and dm
There’s probably some logic to work on somewhere in there
hm
But Deathmark is actually so strong that regular “just hold them and cast together” logic isn’t strong enough to offset the partial loss of a cast
so the idea is to basically use vanish to refresh with improved at the end of the DM window?
and outside of the opener always go into DM with a normal
Should come up about halfway in
so we dont hold any CDs for deathmark at all?
what?
nothing syncs Up really, so no
I have a new theory that might kill the sync logic and exsanguinate at the same time
do it
kill exsang
i beg you
glad i could help if thats that case lol
I mean I’ll try
worth a shot
