Whíspyr pls
but yeah going up another 150 gonna be tough
my guild is so different than from sepulcher
and hc+mythic gonna hurt us for sure
well depends how hc tuning is, but I guess with m+ unlocking aswell now
maybe hc will be super breeze

I think blizzard just unlocking everything at once to teach the community a lesson
"you see why we do staggered release now? stfu you lil shits"
I mean tbh hc week is kinda boring lets be real
but id still prefer it over this I guess
98% of guilds don't clear heroic week 1 anyway
yeah I know, but its mostly because of gear
or overtuned stuff
2nd week you blast threw
yeah so now you get that twice because now you get to experience the same nonsense in mythic

now if the guild is playing m+ you will get shitalods of ilvl just between raids
so for us 4 days between raids
and since first raid is thursday thats 40h before that one aswell
From the same table as yours but by going Nightstalker.
thats 30 lower
40 actually
and nightstalker instead of what
then its just gonna be time management where you see how many bosses you realistically kill in mythic week1
oh you drop cheat
wait
you drop cheat and it's still worse

nightstalker very banger talent

❤️
HAHAHAHAHA
Because garrote from stealth
It was just the left table you can get nightstalker.. but..
something has to be wrong there no?
no it's just so irrelevant that the sim isn't accurate enough to tell the difference
does garrote not gain dmg from nightstalker through vanish?
actual 0% talent without that
Lol
it's actually 0.04%
garrote doing 10% overall dps

4% damage permanently would be 0.4%
but it's not permanently
it's on 3 garrotes the whole fight

more dmg!
HUGE!
take everything you can get
might be 0.15%
I didn't even read what you wrote tbh
oh pog
I was too busy laughing while putting numbers in my calculator
only do this after being the optimal race and having a gaming chair
lmao
racials more important than nightstalker
someone put it in a clickbait youtube title
45 energy 
I'll do like a screamo surprised face
big fat red letters in the thumbnail
REAL??

holy fuck right side class tree is actually just dogshit after dogshit
tight spender is mid, nightstalker is 0dps, imp ambush requires you to play blindside, but even if you were to play dance, you only play dance in aoe, where you don't play blindside, so uh, L talent, soothing darkness L defensive, find weakness mid talent to buff auto attacks huge pog, also how are you proccing find weakness, using your newfound giga ambushes? nice. and then you get dance, which is pretty decent for aoe
SICK TALENT ROW
7 points and 6 of them are basically worthless

but had to be nerfed into the ground
outlaw ruining all the fun once again
why is dance decent in aoe
imp gar
ic
legit only reason
:c dirty pirates
now im curious
how bad is a dance build single target with blindside
that's not good

mid precision it already threw all the dance builds into the bin
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY
Patchwerk?
ye
sooooo dance is good then c:
wow
are these talent imbalances even fixable
kingsbane/DTB and tea/er/dance
I mean sure they're fixable
without breaking other specs with tea/er/dance
like if you crank blindside, crank imp garrote, make find weakness amp bleeds, nightstalker snapshot again
but that's not very copasetic
yeah that could work
is a lot of %
yes but i mean even moreso ofc
yeh
same with imp garrote
but nightstalker snapshotting i think would be a good thing
for one
right now the sin single target meta is sbs/blindside/imp gar/lethal dose/venom rush/exsang/cttc are all must take
find weakness working on bleeds
you cannot make a reasonably strong single target build without those
yeh realz was talking about it a while ago
he just legit didn't know it snapshot
unsure if he made a decision on whether to bring it back or not

I mean I don't blame him
he's a designer not a historian
ain't in the job description to know every intricacy of every ability that may have been added 10 years ago and just stuck around
you betcha
god staring at fatal concoction makes me die inside
bloody mess is so much better but you have to compare fatal conc against fucking shadowstep
holy hell I hate that
are we still looking at taking dtb in slice as well
nah I think I killed that
Fatal Concotion is Lawful Evil. Exsanguinate is Chaotic Good
or did the IC+kingsbane become a thing

why sad :c
cause no shadowstep no bloody mess
can kingsbane be brought in line by just buffing kingsbane itself more?
is real cringe
or does that break anything else
yeah but realz has made clear he'd like to avoid that
hmm
yeah
so uh
add a fuck ton of stuff to zold whitelist and then buff it

just unleash zold
add envenom to it

lets go
no chance the amp env damage is zoldycked is there
tbh having the best execute in the game would be goodf
I mean not right now

do you have the code for the highest build handy whispyr
assa can be the execute spec instead of the "ST niche"

yeah let me fish it out of this pile of vomit
cringe no step/mess -> BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINRSCSSUSAAAAAAAkAQSCAAAAAAABp5AlkQSSSaJJikQiECB
0.5% worse step/mess build I will tell people to play instead -> BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINJJJQSUSAAAAAAAkAQSCAAAAAAABp5AlkQSSSaJJiEISkQA
I feel like this shadowstep thing is the exact thing these 2 trees were meant to avoid. Leave the utility stuff for the class tree so that it doesn't get put up against the dps stuff.
hows mfd for assa, m+ or never considered?
its on a lot of other trees as well unfortunately
it's competitive to deeper
sub outlaw windwalker
but you wouldn't ever really play it
cause it's not viable with dtb
and you don't ever play kingsbane
so it's just kinda L
alright im fully awake now
but it wouldnt take big changes for alot of this to flip right?
what are we losing our minds over this time?
for what to flip
kb/dtb?
yeah
kb is 5% behind brother
oh, ok
drop step, gain dps
Ive paid 0 attention to df up until 2days ago
I dont even know how the spec trees for sub and outlaw look
i mean, thats not the mind boggling part. the 30% extra bleed dmg being irrelevant is
right?
dont worry agreon
its 30% bleed damage on what is basically a 3 point node
were like 2 tuning passes away from one tricking again
dont make me
well the comparison is 10% poison application, which is also quite good, and it cancels out the 30% bleed, so then you're stuck comparing 15% poison damage vs shadowstep
i was gonna be a good boy
and that carries the rest
i was gonna play meta until exsang went away
I wouldnt be if I get the chance
problem is, I cant say sit me now because of atro
exsang here to stay
yeah i meant until 11.0

with dm?
yeh
how clunky can you play exsang where it still considered youre not botching it
do you actually have to refresh bleeds before everytime or
you should refresh bleeds before every time
cev said refresh before earlier
I don’t feel so good Mr.Whispyr….
ooh
so just refresh rupture only maybe 
solid day at work
ive raided only like 90min since prepatch and even the bs into bs proc
was a little annoying ngl
wasnt even specced into exsang lmao
but isnt it funny that 10% poison application equates to 30% rup garr dmg (lets stop calling it bleed, its a lie)
application rate is a super strong multiplier
talent wise rupture isn't supported in any way with that tree
yes
uhm
how do the dashing procs even look with dtb in play
bout half of venom rush
u remember making that video saying that the assassination tree looks great witha few minor changes?
i member
lol
was it with maximum?
I still think that
i mean i would think that assassination would have SOME rupture support given how vital it is to everything else the spec does
wouldnt a rupture buff acomplish the same thing
Yeah that’s also fine
wouldnt a mastery equation to sub also do that?
Wdym
i mean i remember u saying something about the overall % per mastery point
between assassination and sub
Yeah point for point sub gains more rupture damage per mastery
there is a formula with a % right?
Yeah it’s like 35 mastery is a mastery point, and a mastery point is a certain %
Or something like that
well mastery would buff poisons aswell, would maybe be too much?
i think its 1,7something to 2,3 something?
no i mean since mastery buffs the entire spec wouldnt that change also move us in a positive direction?
Would actually just grow the gap
wait how would assa mastery buff grow the gap
Well if the gap between the cringe and the bloody mess is 200 dps
And you buff both poison and bleed equally
They both go up
While maintaining the same % difference
oh you mean that gap I thought you meant between specs
Yeah
I guess bloody mess is kinda designed to be always taken just because of its position?
and now you got this
Atleast the talent fits the name.
There’s kinda 3 problems right now
- Exsang is bonkers compared to the other options (also kinda applies to sbs and blindside but those are more beloved)
- Fatal conc competes with shadowstep apparently because bloody mess and imp poison are basically equal so step takes the L
- Kingsbane and carnage are heavy struggling against dtb in their respective areas
oh yeah last question because I see youre already on phone, is alacrity uptime 100% at 70?
No it’s closer to 90
I was using afenar and it was annoying me when it fell off because it was positioned in the centre but I was just mashing buttons tbh 
I don't get why they put Bloody Mess after Shadowstep instead of... a decent Master Assassin or something.
Shadowstep on class tree should’ve been 2 pointer
Fatal conc could probably use a buff on its own though right? So buff bloody mess even more! We need it anyways 
that would be too strong for outlaw though no?
Baseline shadowstep, class tree makes it 2 charges.
Would you believe me if I said it’s a nerf to outlaw
Yes
Because that’s a second point they have to invest
Or they have to use a utility point to skip past it
So they either have to put in a second point
Or they have to avoid it entirely
Sin and sub would have compensation because you remove step from their trees and replace with a damage talent
So outlaw has worse pathing and sin/sub get compensated
Fatal conc already made it seem like they were struggling to find talents to fill spots though. Not sure what they'd come up with to replace shadowstep
Oh I know, seal fate 
Also double shadowstep and grapple hook is very outlaw thematic because they’re the toe-to-toe brawler, I’m just giving them more opportunities to be that 
class tree has at least for subtlety the big issue of dps vs. utility
so even with 2 steps on the tree you would skip step
and given that you also skip step in non pure single target on the spec tree
Kinda unlucky
means the current layout just makes subtlety utility straight out worse than in SL
Is sub dmg wise in a good spot?
you gain ~3-4% dps by skipping utility on subtlety
outlaw gains ~1% max, what is in a area you cba
assassination gains nothing because nightstalker is a zero dps trait unless you go with dance
(what is atm not the best choice iirc)
what new talents should i be running for mythic + and raids as i heard talent trees changed
The outlaw talents 
gotcha just didn’t know how accurate those were found when i played wowhead was kinda mid
depends whos writing the guide
I won’t hold it against you :P
do you write the guides 😳
SinWowhead is written by whispyr (insert title here) x)
Assassination ye
Wowhead and method
The other specs are handled by the other big boys in each of their channels
Fuu is lead theorycrafter on sub
i won’t lie - haven’t even search wow head to look at the new ones last i played was the first 2 weeks of the new raid after castle N
No, he’s just a random guy we send to do our Sims. (For legal purposes this is a joke.)


Back to the dslice salt mines!
LMAO
i was stonedtobone- stormrage when i played
I Love 30 hours of crimson tempest logic
Koji’s basement.
POGGGGGGERS
Better salt mines instead acid mines
I’m so full of knives, YUM!
CT sims are so fun and epic
i was kind of a big deal back in my prime (jokes)
may the brute force be strong with you
How many targets until we spam CT?
Ty
Bring back echoing blades 
what is deathly? from the pinned messages?
There’s also just like
Deathly shadows
thanks
No way to know what the number should be
Until you brute force it
Sims like “oh refresh at 5 instead of 7, yeah great idea!”
assassination again not following the meta of dust 
some things in simulations are just guess work and brute force
not all changes, the majority is not
but brute forcing your way through those is quite time expensive
I changed a 2 to a 1.5 and it gained me 2% in dslice
did dragon flight drop or we still in pre patch?
Prepatch
so i don’t need to buy it yet to play full game
oofers
ya i got shadowlands
Then you should be okay I think
for what spell?
Crimson tempest
Think shadowlands is part of the base game now
I’ve been on a week long crusade to balance CT/poison bomb/rupture in aoe
Cause poison bomb is relevant now
And CT got a 125% buff out of nowhere

Also the CT lines had checks for a bunch of legendaries that don’t exist anymore that were gumming up the logic
So the baseline had to change too
It’s been…. A process
And then it’s like 3% in dslice but oh wait! Hectic add cleave is -6%
That’s no good
Having PB be all of our AOE would be like Legion levels of strong, no?
Gotta figure out why that’s a thing
Yeah

But it’s been fun
I opened up the CT lines to spam a little harder
Got 2.5% in dslice, solid 1%+ gains in sustained aoe
Bout 1.5% in hectic add cleave
Real good stuff
And then I talent poison bomb
-6% dslice
Great
-10% hac
Perfect
-3% in cleave
Fantastic
Time for more logic -> number wrong -> fiddle with number till it’s happy
But what if you talent shadowstep 
what mythic + can i do as a 266😂
Perish
Probably like a 6 or 7 but if you’re pugging the key, you can probably do nothing
not the news i wanted to hear
Time for some friends
Double unlucky
got@into a. 2 let’s see how she goes
Sure
I’d constantly kill myself
this is what i have atm 🙂
Oh
its subtlety
That looks cool
LMAO
But yeah that’s sick
Fun
How do they show on cd?
Orange names going at it in sin channel
Seem a little skinny
Kik@is misspelled ye haha
Got me MAD
Also feint bigger tile than important stuff
You want 0.5% dps?
No.
its 0.3% !!
Goodbye.
^ clip from yesterday with use/cooldown


I get the Fuu setup though. Thin cards for the top, since it’s a lot, condensed.
Ye make a sin one
Thicker for the bottom.
I need to get around to making wa’s
Ye utility coolies only visible when on cd I guess?
i probably will make the setup for sin/law too
Fuu is a man of culture, I like them thicc on the bottom.
Not this month
Can I get a rupture finality timer on there too please 🥺


i haven't had the utility ones set up in the clip
Nonstop Nut November. Destroy Dick December.
The new Luxthos one is lacking some stuff
How do you track charges?
Like, the CT tile is super smol
I’m a simple man.
haven't decided yet, i have 2 ideas.
either use a texture like for the crafting quality stuff or just a number
the wa is high enough to fit a 3rd number at the top
this would be texture thing i talk about
That's actually kinda neat
0.3%*
What’re those?
Originally i was going to do little progress bars for each charge under mine. But that ends up not playing well with dynamic groups at all
basically the crafting regents have quality now
and those are the textures for the quality ranks
is a weakaura that already implements them
btw @balmy condor when u finish ur WAs for release i want them
its the closest ive seen to what i want, ill just move them around after XD
good morning bois and girls and knives
fuu, what professions are u getting? alchemy?
exsang still there?
Still there
i will take the
and stick with engineering
if ure taking an F what am i taking with LW?
sunk cost problem
haha ^^
probably not a bad decision
Most professions will likely do pretty well
Though im not sure wth inscription even does anymore
i wish you could have 3 professions at once.
one for gathering
one that does not require a gathering profession
one that does require one
having 2 and one of them does require a gathering profession you don't have sucks
ye skinning on a rogue is rough ngl
Im alch enchanting 
enchanting + engineering for me
isnt enchanting kind of oof right now?
Alchemy get the passive this expansion?haven't bothered to check yet.
inscription gonna get the buckbuck early on
idk, professions in DF look to be a lot more time consuming
with the decks
i am not sure if the profession update is a W
And engineering is pretty good for rousing farm apparently
exactly, and u cant really do everything
thats fine
my issue rly is that i am not sure how to progress in a crafting profession
while keeping enchanting
drop enchanting then?
Real money week 1 is going to be profession equipment
ye thats the problem, i can't do that
why
my guild/gf needs enchanting, so i take the L to cover that
Time to make a gathering alt
if u dont pvp u wont really notice
drop jeeves, blingtron, wormhole, etc... sunken cost problem
2, don't forget about refining those mats early
Lets go with 3 to be safe
Hear me out, mailbox for radinax
Unironically the right play for mining
^ mailbox def. is a good one too
u dont need a mailbox either
u will have at least one nightborne
those things are overrated nowadays
all craftable items +mounts
i get your conclusion sangreal, i just preferer having the engineering benefits if that's okay with you
Are the court of stars profession bonuses still a thing? Didn't test last week at all
i don't see why they would remove them
iirc there are also profession bonuses in the new dungeons
i haven't found out what you can unlock exactly tho
Fair, no shot academy doesn't have something scribe related
man what is this fuckery with action button on key up
where is this option
i dont wanna hit a macro every single time i log in
wow this was a quick fix from last night
they do quick fixes?
no, probably just a coincidence
it wasnt a coincidence
i think it was cev that pinged realz about this?
not sure though one of the green dudes told him 😛
ik just a coincidence they rolled out a hotfix today
makes a good point
he reads i guess
its 11:32 AM, its morning ill have you know
Occasionally, I will be gone, away from computer. Or I'll be playing vidya games for many hours (usually the latter). Then when I'm winding down, I might read... yeah
realz just scanning the discord ctrl+f random talents
tbh i think im gonna go to bed at less demon hours tonight im getting sick and my chest feels like it has an anvil on it or smth
no 5 am chatting for me 
ic
im going to sleep early just to wake up at the same time i usually do but sleep a fuckload and feel tired when i wake up
set an alarm
alarms dont work on me
how do you survive work/school
can you ctrl+f a couple tooltip fixes so I can stop telling people kingsbane "lethal poison" is not a deathmark dupe poison
I spent whole night sim'ing tables to end up in disappointment that I'm running out of buttons.
i can only get up when there's a necessity, i cant just get up cause i want to wake up earlier. my brain doesnt compute
I don't wanna play Blindside. 
well
tooltips are touchy in just-before-patch release windows, like recently-and-now... if it's not an emergency, it probably has to wait a while
play exsanguinate

also what do u mean
oh wait its a new day i have an idea
about kingsbane
delete exsanguinate
Yeah I have Exs, but Blindside makes me sad.
well this says "lethal poison"
and this says "lethal poisons"
and a lethal poison
god
is a lethal poison
are all other references to "lethal poison" capitalized?
frozensoviet has a whole shitlist of tooltip nonsense let me see if I can find it
bro I'm a music major I don't do english idk
what the fuck? a music major?
I don't love that it uses the same words but I'm pretty sure "Lethal Poison" and "Non-Lethal Poison" are capitalized
youre too smart for that
music is really mathy low key
you'd be surprised how many brilliant people get drawn in by music, starving artists, it's a saying for a reason
Has deathmark a bleeding tag?
it does!
Lol the Sepsis one.
lethal dose should for sure work on kingsbane, any nature or bleed DoT should
does it really not?
im almost positive it does
I dont even care about pvp but evokers have bleed dispel?
im willing to make a note of all this and double check of course, we know of a couple bugs
what ?
I'm willing to report that one
yeah so if you skip shadowstep and bloody mess
and just do this instead
the best kingsbane set up is just getting smashed
like out of the park
we love skipping step 
I was thinking imp poison would have to compete with shrouded
but I missed that you can just decide to forgo step
No kb? 
well step is not really needed, you just play 1 charge
yeah it's a lil weird tho isn't it
its weird cause you need step to get bloody mess, i agree
you got 3 points and your options are step into bloody mess, or 3 poison damage nodes
bloody mess is a 3 point investment for 2 dps points
Skipping step is skipping the garrotte/rupture dmg, is that wise?
I love it
then it seems pretty wise to me
Something seems of if we are cranking without a direct buff to our main dots
Passive dmg
1/4 damage sources is a dot
hmmm m+ testing going on, after gym maybe some m+ assa stream like a boss?
varas playing sin in 2022
Are you running Tea or Stratagem in prepatch Varas, in m+?
If the dtb setup and kb setup are 5% apart, I guess we're not that far from the "meaningful choice" sweetspot
no seal fate
bro but shadow dance feels so good with IC surely its good
And wire.
1 point dashing no keystone gaming
lets go
Just a few touches here and there and it's good2go, no ?

what kind of meaningful choice is 5% apart
ill have you know on raid clear ive never been last on dps meters
Ain't no time for shadow dance. 
Did I say we were there though
well I'd hope you're beating at least 1 of the healers
they were crankin
I mean it's 5% away from meaningful choice
if you don't play kingsbane in single target
where in gods name do you play it
IC + KB m+ setup
shut the fuck up varas
🥰
Again, didn't say we were at that point yet gee
But 5% is one or two small ability / talent buffs away
If all of Frozen's contentions are true, I'd be very surprised
zoldyck also sucks for prog cause its a lot of dps you dont have until late into prog
good instinct to have
💀
but zoldyck also good cause execute is poggers on some bosses
Zoldyck sucked in every sim I ran. 
marmite 💀
@sharp falcon cant sbs get changed to have unity 2 target cleave into it please please im willing to sacrifice exsanguinate for it
Also I like simping on KB too but let's be real, if KB build is 2% off it'll still have uses, because execute and burst are valuable
So a couple ups and there we go
idk, it's a little tricky, cause dragon tempered is competing with kingsbane in single target, but then it's also competing with IC in aoe, and it's currently winning one of those battles and coming real close to the other, but if it loses both you don't play that either
also twist the knife may as well not exist :/
add 5% envenom dmg to it im so smart
"CB not on bleeds" - good, it shouldn't
"CB not on KB" - good, it shouldn't
"DM not on KB" - good, it shouldn't, although the extra poison applications during DM effectively double KB's growth, so it still "works" in some way, and is a fantastic combo
"Zoldyck not on KB" - it should, pretty sure it is, willing to be wrong and will check
"Zoldyck not on poison" - it should, and yes the tooltip could be more clear here, but anything your Mastery affects should affect Zoldyck
"bomb/envenom despite dashing working" - not sure what this means, but dashing should just be weapon poisons, again needs more clarity (yes I see the theme here)
"lethal dose not on KB" - it should be, pretty sure it is, willing to be wrong and will check
"[sepsis words]" - again clarity theme, that would help, but it's not random at all lethal dose is more clear than some historic examples of spelling out what it does/should work with ("nature damage over time" that should be pretty clear)
no way im not giving people ideas for free
is has 3 charges it can be 3 target cleave if u want m8
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It would have made life easier in M+ AoE, tbh, without spending 3 globals spreading it
well you still want to use all charges asap, just wont swap targets that much
Tab targeting SBS 
spending 3 globals sending out trucks to hit on the ennemy faces is not a loss imo
The dot is honestly an added bonus on trash
the dashing thing is used to give the crit chance to envenom/pb as well (think it doesn't anymore), essentially counting as 15% envenom/pb crit chance, and that's a "crit chance of your poisons", but then zoldyck is a "poisons deal increased damage" and that's not an envenom/pb
I briefly considered 'make everything work with everything all the time' but I'm glad I didn't
when you said dance should work with everything I was a little sus
if you are in stealth, and you have a combat bonus associated with that, dance should also provide that bonus as if you were in stealth. Not ENTERING stealth, not LEAVING stealth... just while-in-stealth bonuses
yeah I mean you ENTER dance and LEAVE dance, but I get it
riding thin on the technicality
but I get it
I think it's pretty clear but I get it
With regards to DTB and King, would it not have been more elegant to place on a choice capstone and converge both their trees into it? Right now it's like the illusion of choice. Or would it seem too off for assa to have only two cap choices? Which we kinda do end up with anyway.
"isnt being invisible the foremost combat bonus of being in stealth, why doesnt dance give me that?" -- no one's asked yet
dancing isn't very stealthy though
Wait SD is 8 sec cooldown, what.
rogues doing capoiera?
yeah 6 second buff 8 second cooldown
Well i for one would like to crank in arenas while invisible
you're definitely reading that right
if your point is to recognize there are imperfections in the assassin talent tree, I'll agree with you there
a 1 point imperfection...
Yeh doomblade bad
as to solutions or suggestions, you're welcome to give me your opinion but I'm unlikely to discuss it much, we'll just have to see what the future holds, knowing that for now what we have is (I hope) pretty fun, and there's some interesting things to explore and do
doomblade has circle around it
ohhhh actives have square and passives have circles
wowwwww
WOOO
Realz, does the team have a philosophy regarding the advantages and disadvantages of certain DPS profiles (mainly burst versus sustain), and how it should affect balance ?
I just want to say it's very fun and I'm enjoying it and also you did it all wrong and bad and what was the thought process behind making bad talents :<<<<<<<<
there's only 2 types of talents, good ones and exsang
If you dance like a crazy person, people will ignore you
did you enjoy dtb or ic more?
you kill that boss whisp? was it like 3 bosses
I think IC on 4 is a little weird but it did about the same
maybe just need to get used to it
oh god no
it's mythic testing
we got like 2 min in and then got SMASHED
we also had a guy sign up to our group
that was like
"I'm top 50 evoker heal world"
and we're like
uh
what
it be like that ig
Dude's speedrunning
"are you guys CE ? wanna test my mettle"
yes please
We get 1 min IC and SBS tabbing expansion pack.
Boomkin gets AoE sunfires. 
we also get exsang bleed refresh simulator
APM inflation. Do more for less damage.
the more important question is, have realz and whisp had a good nights rest yet?
Why Sepsis exists even.
in game?
if he's up when I'm up, the answer is prolly no
damn
add unity to sepsis so its good
im just spitballin
guys I've got a question: how do u play the 2nd cd window on sin?
do u wait for vanish before going into DM to get the most out of the doubled improved garrote?
Yeah
You act like he hasn't turned off all alerts in this Discord

I do that and im just a random person
Naw, you're Ramlu
Ill never play sin again
Add septic shock conduit and ill accept it
Even Expose Armor was more fun than Exsanguinate. 
Congrats, you've now got budget Kingsbane
I found 0 uses for Sepsis.
maybe if we leaned into the reset aspect and had it fill a mfd + poison kinda niche
would have an interesting synergy with zold
It should just throw you back into stealth. I never understood the free ability.. cool a whole Ambush...
i think the issue there is pvp
heckin minigame ruinin our fun
but another in combat restealth would be very big
so i understand
I mean is it..
Sub Nelf already has 100 restealths don't think it's that much of an issue.
im pretty sure throughout slands nf was the play because you could just soulshape away and restealth
idk im definitely no pvp expert
how does sub get extra restealths?
I think Vanish has another charge
Or atleast give Sepsis empowered Garrote or something, like this is just sad.
agree, it has room to grow
It needed a redesign from the first moment of it's birth
ye
Wait does it actually work? I thoguht you really needed to be in stealth for it to be improved.
nah it works, p sure it works with MA too
it didn't at first
but that's the intent as realz put it i believe
Tooltip is confusing because it says you can use a stealth ability, but.. IG says when used from stealth so.. in my view they're still exclusive from one another. But let me test.
Between, using an stealth ability and being in stealth, kinda messed up.
ye the wording can be goofy
Nah I tried, doesn't work.
It's still a standard garrote. (pre-patch)
But maybe they redesigned it for dragonflight.
No clue.
it definitely should work
Okay I just tested it and it does not work in the live game and only the damage amp works in the beta.
pog
Some spaghetti going on because it definitely worked properly previously without incurring cd and granting SS effects as well iirc
I love tracking bugs across beta and live and ptr and all of them different
yeh fun stuff
hi all, after the rupture/garrote buffs and scent of blood buffs, is IC better for m+ or is DtB still better?
depends on what you want to do and which dungeon
Some dungeons have large aoe pulls where IC is better and some dungeons are on the smaller side where you don't get much use out of it
DTB is generally probably better for most dungeons because it still cranks in single target and helps AoE as well, whereas IC is strictly for AOE only
Where is DTBs value coming from?
Energy Regen and flat damage from the additional poison?
poison damage good and poison do thing like buff envenom good and dashing good and energy good and lethal dose good
Poison good?
looks good to me
12% deadly, and then like 15% amp?
makes dtb at least 12% right off the bat just from that
It's "competing" with kingsbane right?
And it's out performing KB? What about IC?
So it's just the talent to take at current time? (Assuming nothing changes once we have access to it)
it's beating IC in dungeonslice
if you sim 8 target 1 min
IC is going to be better obv
IC just weird because it doesn't really do too too much on 3-4 targets
It only cranks when you have like a shit ton of targets
It's really awkward I've noticed.
Man that's sad. KB being a fun button not being as good as a passive 
tuning is not final
idk if KB can recover from 7% worse in single target just from "tuning is not final" honestly
might be a 10.1 angle
Feral druid time
it's like 4% worse if you go with the step/bloody mess stuff
but if you're taking your single step 0.5% dps gain
the poison nodes just kill KB viability entirely
yeah i felt too much downtime with IC which will suck a lot when progging keys if mobs die insta
thanks 😄 is there an updated m+ build from last week for assa?
yeah I'm gonna just put a couple beta builds into the pins and see what happens
owo new builds? Any major changes? Or just stuff on wowhead
Wait sorry, what's the difference?
Is beta for 10.1?
So the first raid patch? Or real patch, or like when the new content is released kinda thing
thanks whispyr ❤️ ur the best
Beta is for 10.0, Dragonflight
The actual expansion release.
Pre-patch is like a bridge between Shadowlands and Dragonflight.
Yeah silly me.
u silly
Is there a stat squish?
Not this time around
Good thing we double garrote with vanish/stealth so we don't need subterdingdong for ambush
so we can still get one shadowstep in the tree even if we don't take the spec one 
nope
Was it legion where we does millions of dps 🤔
yes
Ty
legion was the giga numberbloat
Can remember on a friend, she was playing rogue and i pulled the entire instance together, she gets a pb proc and her details was close for exploding xD im sure she came from this 
Old pb was nuts
old pb was shit
Beta/Level70/Dragonflight builds for now
Obviously things can still change. These are the highest sims we have currently, but there are sim optimizations still in the works. Use these for a general idea.
Picture 1: Single target. You can replace the improved poison/fatal concoction points for shadowstep and bloody mess, the rest of the build stays the same, but it's very slightly worse. If you value the second shadowstep just go the bloody mess route and you're chilling. If you're replacing exsang, take tiny toxic blade. If you're wanting to add CT, take the point from tiny toxic/shrouded/exsang. DTB poisons are Amplifying -> Deadly -> Instant
Picture 2: Dungeon with DTB. Yes DTB is better than IC, it's about 2% in dungeonslice, ton better in 1-3 target, ton worse in 5-8 target. Replace exsang with master assassin, DO NOT GET RID OF IRON WIRE IT IS REALLY GOOD UTILITY THAT IS WHY YOU PLAY SIN DO NOT TROLL IT PLEASE. Flying daggers is fine-ish but it's super scary to play because of the range and you need pretty heavy aoe to make it work, it's a lil yucky. If you do want to play it because you're a psychopath, you would also want to consider blindside, which is strong, and also good boss damage, and another really weird m+ pick. Flying daggers is basically just an open door to super awkward things. DTB poisons are Amplifying -> Deadly -> Instant
Picture 3: Dungeon with IC. Because you will ask me for it anyway lets get real. It might be better in heavy aoe dungeons or shorter 30-45 second pulls, but has more room for error compared to dtb obviously. Kinda sucks but what can you do. If you want to replace exsang, again do it with master assassin. Same disclaimer on flying daggers as above including all the blindside crap. If you're reading this far in I love you, you are valid, and I hope you have a great day. The Poison Bomb pick isn't fully optimized yet (I hate CT sims), if you want to you can take some of the poison stuff too, imp poison is okay, dashing is okay, anything more than that starts to be weird again, don't be weird. Another interesting thing you can do is drop PB and go for tiny toxic into 1/3 zoldyck, that seems kinda okay. Poisons are Deadly -> Instant, but if you go Amplifying, swap to it before bosses.
Frequently Asked Questions:
"Why not X talent over Y?"
Did you read the big blurbs? They explain alternatives
"I read, why not X talent over Y?"
Because it sucks, don't ask me this please
"Why the class tree look like that?"
Dance sucks, nightstalker sucks, find weakness kinda sucks, cold blood sucks, now you're out of talents to pick that aren't garbage
"Really? Echoing Reprimand with the additional CP?"
Yes, it's really strong compared to everything else
"Exsang :("
Yeah you and everyone else, live with it or don't take it idk
"Exsang :)"
You're weird but I respect how you live your life
rng over rng
Sure rngwise it was so bad but the numbers !
Sin opener without pb procc was feeling so bad back in legion :<
I love you too
fuck exsang
unkillable
found 0.3% though
but unkillable
this whole deathmark current bleeds thing
is kinda whack
doesnt change the fact that it should burn in hell 🙂
also the 0.3% are for non-exsang
and in that case, you would want to vanish and deathmark together
even in opener
so you gar snd gar, then get your bone spike and rupture, and then deathmark and vanish gar
so
I'm ngl, I've been avoiding simming FC all this time. Makes sense that DTB cranks it up to 11
gg's
enjoy that I guess
56

is that
dslice?
st
oh no brotherman
