might just end it all and become a maplestory player bro

#

cba with this shit

spice spire
#

Whíspyr pls

drifting cloud
#

but yeah going up another 150 gonna be tough

balmy condor
#

don't worry

#

we have an additional 6 hours

#

total

#

in our prog

drifting cloud
#

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

balmy condor
#

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"

drifting cloud
#

I mean tbh hc week is kinda boring lets be real

#

but id still prefer it over this I guess

balmy condor
#

98% of guilds don't clear heroic week 1 anyway

drifting cloud
#

yeah I know, but its mostly because of gear

#

or overtuned stuff

#

2nd week you blast threw

balmy condor
#

yeah so now you get that twice because now you get to experience the same nonsense in mythic

drifting cloud
#

now if the guild is playing m+ you will get shitalods of ilvl just between raids

#

so for us 4 days between raids

nocturne current
drifting cloud
#

and since first raid is thursday thats 40h before that one aswell

nocturne current
#

From the same table as yours but by going Nightstalker.

balmy condor
#

40 actually

#

and nightstalker instead of what

drifting cloud
#

then its just gonna be time management where you see how many bosses you realistically kill in mythic week1

nocturne current
#

But you're a dead man alive basically.

balmy condor
#

oh you drop cheat

#

wait

#

you drop cheat and it's still worse

#

nightstalker very banger talent

hollow river
balmy condor
#

BRO IM WHEEZING

#

IT CANT TELL IF NIGHTSTALKER IS BETTER DPS THAN CHEAT DEATH

nocturne current
#

❤️

balmy condor
#

HAHAHAHAHA

oak sky
#

Because garrote from stealth

nocturne current
#

It was just the left table you can get nightstalker.. but..

hollow river
#

something has to be wrong there no?

oak sky
#

Isnt it a 0 talent

#

Without dance

nocturne current
#

You're a gambler basically.

#

But glad to see such boost actually.

balmy condor
nocturne current
#

Wait what.

#

2k +

balmy condor
#

that's the crit fix

#

raidbots updated

hollow river
#

does garrote not gain dmg from nightstalker through vanish?

balmy condor
#

it does

#

for 1 whole seconds

#

nightstalker doesn't snapshot anymore

hollow river
#

oh i thought bleeds used to snapshot it

#

oh

#

that's cringe

#

af

balmy condor
#

yeh got changed cause dance on tree and stuff

#

but like

hollow river
#

actual 0% talent without that

balmy condor
#

I mean it's 0% even with it

#

4% damage on one garrote every 2 minutes

#

G I G A

nocturne current
#

Lol

hollow river
#

it's actually 0.04%

balmy condor
#

garrote doing 10% overall dps

hollow river
balmy condor
#

4% damage permanently would be 0.4%

#

but it's not permanently

#

it's on 3 garrotes the whole fight

drifting cloud
#

more dmg!

balmy condor
#

HUGE!

drifting cloud
#

take everything you can get

balmy condor
#

might be 0.15%

hollow river
#

(i was hoping you'd catch my sarcasm, but here we are)

balmy condor
#

I didn't even read what you wrote tbh

hollow river
#

oh pog

balmy condor
#

I was too busy laughing while putting numbers in my calculator

drifting cloud
#

only do this after being the optimal race and having a gaming chair

hollow river
#

lmao

balmy condor
#

racials more important than nightstalker

#

someone put it in a clickbait youtube title

oak sky
#

45 energy poggers

balmy condor
#

I'll do like a screamo surprised face

#

big fat red letters in the thumbnail

#

REAL??

hollow river
balmy condor
#

holy fuck right side class tree is actually just dogshit after dogshit

hollow river
#

not enough stealth and ambush synergies

balmy condor
#

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

hollow river
#

why is dance decent in aoe

balmy condor
#

imp gar

hollow river
#

ic

balmy condor
#

legit only reason

balmy condor
#

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

nocturne current
#

Patchwerk?

balmy condor
#

ye

honest vessel
#

sooooo dance is good then c:

nocturne current
#

haha

#

We're back to cataclysm.

hollow river
#

are these talent imbalances even fixable

#

kingsbane/DTB and tea/er/dance

balmy condor
#

I mean sure they're fixable

hollow river
#

without breaking other specs with tea/er/dance

balmy condor
#

are they pretty fixes?

#

probably not

hollow river
#

yeah

#

could easily fix dance if it had a different effect for each spec

balmy condor
#

like if you crank blindside, crank imp garrote, make find weakness amp bleeds, nightstalker snapshot again

hollow river
#

but that's not very copasetic

balmy condor
#

we might be in business

#

but 7%

hollow river
#

yeah that could work

balmy condor
#

is a lot of %

hollow river
#

but yeah

#

and if you crank blindside up more it becomes mandatory

balmy condor
#

well it already is

#

but yeh

hollow river
#

yes but i mean even moreso ofc

balmy condor
#

yeh

hollow river
#

same with imp garrote

#

but nightstalker snapshotting i think would be a good thing

#

for one

balmy condor
#

right now the sin single target meta is sbs/blindside/imp gar/lethal dose/venom rush/exsang/cttc are all must take

hollow river
#

find weakness working on bleeds

balmy condor
#

you cannot make a reasonably strong single target build without those

hollow river
#

should've been a self explanatory change

#

imo

balmy condor
#

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

hollow river
balmy condor
#

I mean I don't blame him

hollow river
#

how long has he been the rogue dev

#

i've been wondering

balmy condor
#

he's a designer not a historian

hollow river
#

yeh i don't either ofc

#

lot's of weird interactions in this game

balmy condor
#

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

hollow river
#

right

#

i assume exsang is still snapshotting haste

balmy condor
#

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

hollow river
#

are we still looking at taking dtb in slice as well

balmy condor
#

nah I think I killed that

nocturne current
#

Fatal Concotion is Lawful Evil. Exsanguinate is Chaotic Good

hollow river
#

or did the IC+kingsbane become a thing

balmy condor
#

IC on its own

#

aight well

#

I'm sad now

nocturne current
honest vessel
#

why sad :c

balmy condor
#

cause no shadowstep no bloody mess

hollow river
#

can kingsbane be brought in line by just buffing kingsbane itself more?

balmy condor
#

is real cringe

hollow river
#

or does that break anything else

balmy condor
hollow river
#

hmm

balmy condor
#

its for sure possible

#

but kingsbane is already like 1 point for 15%

hollow river
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

so uh

hollow river
#

but what else could be done to make it better

#

shiv nature%+ ?

balmy condor
#

add a fuck ton of stuff to zold whitelist and then buff it

#

just unleash zold

#

add envenom to it

hollow river
balmy condor
#

lets go

honest vessel
#

no chance the amp env damage is zoldycked is there

hollow river
#

tbh having the best execute in the game would be goodf

balmy condor
drifting cloud
#

do you have the code for the highest build handy whispyr

hollow river
#

assa can be the execute spec instead of the "ST niche"

honest vessel
balmy condor
#

cringe no step/mess -> BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINRSCSSUSAAAAAAAkAQSCAAAAAAABp5AlkQSSSaJJikQiECB
0.5% worse step/mess build I will tell people to play instead -> BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINJJJQSUSAAAAAAAkAQSCAAAAAAABp5AlkQSSSaJJiEISkQA

main solar
#

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.

drifting cloud
#

hows mfd for assa, m+ or never considered?

oak sky
balmy condor
#

it's competitive to deeper

oak sky
#

sub outlaw windwalker

balmy condor
#

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

thorn crater
#

alright im fully awake now

drifting cloud
#

but it wouldnt take big changes for alot of this to flip right?

thorn crater
#

what are we losing our minds over this time?

balmy condor
#

go back to bed

#

it's not worth it

balmy condor
#

kb/dtb?

drifting cloud
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

kb is 5% behind brother

drifting cloud
#

oh, ok

balmy condor
drifting cloud
#

Ive paid 0 attention to df up until 2days ago

#

I dont even know how the spec trees for sub and outlaw look

oak sky
#

outlaw good

#

sub doesnt have a left side

thorn crater
#

right?

drifting cloud
#

dont worry agreon

oak sky
#

its 30% bleed damage on what is basically a 3 point node

drifting cloud
#

were like 2 tuning passes away from one tricking again

oak sky
#

dont make me

balmy condor
oak sky
#

i was gonna be a good boy

balmy condor
#

and that carries the rest

oak sky
#

i was gonna play meta until exsang went away

drifting cloud
#

I wouldnt be if I get the chance

#

problem is, I cant say sit me now because of atro

hollow river
#

exsang here to stay

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I can't get rid of exsang

oak sky
hollow river
balmy condor
#

vanish syncing is like

#

kinda okay though

hollow river
#

with dm?

balmy condor
#

yeh

drifting cloud
#

how clunky can you play exsang where it still considered youre not botching it

#

do you actually have to refresh bleeds before everytime or

hollow river
#

think it's just on CD

#

if you're bleeds aren't in pandemic

#

iirc

balmy condor
#

you should refresh bleeds before every time

oak sky
#

cev said refresh before earlier

timid cloud
#

I don’t feel so good Mr.Whispyr….

hollow river
#

ooh

oak sky
#

god thats so ass

#

tbh

balmy condor
#

but its so strong you can probably skip it

#

and still be better

oak sky
#

the early refresh is like

#

actually degen

drifting cloud
#

so just refresh rupture only maybe Cheesin

oak sky
#

people thought 2 finishers before vendetta was degen

#

i cant even fathom

balmy condor
#

solid day at work

drifting cloud
#

ive raided only like 90min since prepatch and even the bs into bs proc

#

was a little annoying ngl

balmy condor
#

I found 0.3% of cooldown logic and flared my depression

#

super cool

drifting cloud
#

wasnt even specced into exsang lmao

thorn crater
balmy condor
#

I mean not really

#

with dtb, poisons do about the same instant damage as gar+rup

thorn crater
#

so rupture is now an energy generator

#

for talents

balmy condor
#

application rate is a super strong multiplier

#

talent wise rupture isn't supported in any way with that tree

#

yes

thorn crater
#

uhm

drifting cloud
#

how do the dashing procs even look with dtb in play

balmy condor
#

bout half of venom rush

thorn crater
#

u remember making that video saying that the assassination tree looks great witha few minor changes?

#

i member

#

lol

#

was it with maximum?

balmy condor
#

I still think that

thorn crater
#

i mean i would think that assassination would have SOME rupture support given how vital it is to everything else the spec does

balmy condor
#

I think bloody mess buff and it’s fine

#

It’s 0.5% worse

drifting cloud
#

wouldnt a rupture buff acomplish the same thing

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s also fine

thorn crater
#

wouldnt a mastery equation to sub also do that?

balmy condor
#

Wdym

thorn crater
#

i mean i remember u saying something about the overall % per mastery point

#

between assassination and sub

balmy condor
#

Yeah point for point sub gains more rupture damage per mastery

thorn crater
#

there is a formula with a % right?

balmy condor
#

Yeah it’s like 35 mastery is a mastery point, and a mastery point is a certain %

#

Or something like that

drifting cloud
#

well mastery would buff poisons aswell, would maybe be too much?

thorn crater
#

i think its 1,7something to 2,3 something?

balmy condor
#

It wouldn’t do anything to the balance

#

It buffs poisons and bleeds equally

thorn crater
#

no i mean since mastery buffs the entire spec wouldnt that change also move us in a positive direction?

balmy condor
#

Would actually just grow the gap

drifting cloud
#

wait how would assa mastery buff grow the gap

balmy condor
#

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

drifting cloud
#

oh you mean that gap I thought you meant between specs

balmy condor
#

Yeah

drifting cloud
#

I guess bloody mess is kinda designed to be always taken just because of its position?

#

and now you got this

nocturne current
#

Atleast the talent fits the name.

balmy condor
#

There’s kinda 3 problems right now

  1. Exsang is bonkers compared to the other options (also kinda applies to sbs and blindside but those are more beloved)
  2. Fatal conc competes with shadowstep apparently because bloody mess and imp poison are basically equal so step takes the L
  3. Kingsbane and carnage are heavy struggling against dtb in their respective areas
drifting cloud
#

oh yeah last question because I see youre already on phone, is alacrity uptime 100% at 70?

drifting cloud
#

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 RHmods

balmy condor
#

Hovering between 85-90

#

Depending on how you play it

nocturne current
#

I don't get why they put Bloody Mess after Shadowstep instead of... a decent Master Assassin or something.

balmy condor
#

Shadowstep on class tree should’ve been 2 pointer

main solar
#

Fatal conc could probably use a buff on its own though right? So buff bloody mess even more! We need it anyways besad

thorn crater
main solar
#

Baseline shadowstep, class tree makes it 2 charges.

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

having 2 shadowsteps and one chain

#

is a nerf?\

balmy condor
#

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

main solar
#

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 ez

balmy condor
#

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 Smile_Dog

vestal wren
#

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

balmy condor
#

Yeah probably would for sub

#

Sub wants everything

vestal wren
#

and given that you also skip step in non pure single target on the spec tree

balmy condor
#

Kinda unlucky

vestal wren
#

means the current layout just makes subtlety utility straight out worse than in SL

jade abyss
#

Is sub dmg wise in a good spot?

vestal wren
#

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)

twilit venture
#

what new talents should i be running for mythic + and raids as i heard talent trees changed

balmy condor
#

Wowhead has guides for prepatch

#

With talent suggestions

main solar
#

The outlaw talents besad

twilit venture
#

gotcha just didn’t know how accurate those were found when i played wowhead was kinda mid

drifting cloud
#

depends whos writing the guide

twilit venture
#

do you write the guides 😳

jade abyss
#

SinWowhead is written by whispyr (insert title here) x)

balmy condor
#

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

twilit venture
#

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

timid cloud
#

No, he’s just a random guy we send to do our Sims. (For legal purposes this is a joke.)

Better salt mines instead acid mines

timid cloud

I’m so full of knives, YUM!

balmy condor
#

CT sims are so fun and epic

twilit venture

i was kind of a big deal back in my prime (jokes)

vestal wren
timid cloud
#

How many targets until we spam CT?

balmy condor
jade abyss
#

Bring back echoing blades concernedpopcorn

balmy condor
#

Write logic -> it’s the wrong number

vestal wren
#

it is simple

#

just write the correct number

balmy condor
#

Man I wish

modern girder

what is deathly? from the pinned messages?

balmy condor
#

There’s also just like

balmy condor
modern girder
#

thanks

balmy condor
#

Until you brute force it

#

Sims like “oh refresh at 5 instead of 7, yeah great idea!”

vestal wren
#

assassination again not following the meta of dust notlikethis

balmy condor
#

And you’re like

#

Pog

#

It wanted 5 instead of 7

vestal wren
#

some things in simulations are just guess work and brute force

balmy condor
#

Logic works great, but number too high so it’s bad

#

Fucking dumb

vestal wren
#

not all changes, the majority is not

#

but brute forcing your way through those is quite time expensive

balmy condor
twilit venture
#

did dragon flight drop or we still in pre patch?

balmy condor
twilit venture
#

so i don’t need to buy it yet to play full game

balmy condor
#

Uhhhhh

#

Not sure

twilit venture
#

oofers

balmy condor
#

Would need shadowlands to go into the base game

#

Idk if that happens in prepatch

twilit venture
#

ya i got shadowlands

balmy condor
#

Then you should be okay I think

vestal wren
balmy condor
main solar
#

Think shadowlands is part of the base game now

balmy condor
#

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

timid cloud
#

Having PB be all of our AOE would be like Legion levels of strong, no?

balmy condor
#

Gotta figure out why that’s a thing

timid cloud
balmy condor
#

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

main solar
#

But what if you talent shadowstep kekw

twilit venture
#

what mythic + can i do as a 266😂

balmy condor
twilit venture
#

not the news i wanted to hear

Time for some friends

I get the Fuu setup though. Thin cards for the top, since it’s a lot, condensed.

fallen arch

Ye make a sin one

timid cloud

Thicker for the bottom.

balmy condor

I need to get around to making wa’s

fallen arch

Ye utility coolies only visible when on cd I guess?

main solar
#

How do you track charges?

fallen arch
#

Like, the CT tile is super smol

timid cloud
#

I’m a simple man.

vestal wren
#

the wa is high enough to fit a 3rd number at the top

#

this would be texture thing i talk about

main solar
#

That's actually kinda neat

vestal wren
timid cloud
main solar
#

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

vestal wren
#

basically the crafting regents have quality now

#

and those are the textures for the quality ranks

timid cloud
#

Ohhhhh

#

I gotta mess with crafting.

vestal wren
#

is a weakaura that already implements them

thorn crater

thorn crater
#

i dno i feel like its agood plan

#

to focus on mail LW

vestal wren
#

probably not a bad decision

thorn crater
#

its either that

#

or general LW

#

to focus on high quality reagent crafting

main solar
#

Most professions will likely do pretty well

#

Though im not sure wth inscription even does anymore

vestal wren
#

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

thorn crater
#

ye skinning on a rogue is rough ngl

main solar
#

Im alch enchanting besad

vestal wren
#

enchanting + engineering for me

thorn crater
#

isnt enchanting kind of oof right now?

with the decks

vestal wren

i am not sure if the profession update is a W

eager sorrel
#

And engineering is pretty good for rousing farm apparently

thorn crater
vestal wren
#

thats fine

thorn crater
#

those resurrection bracers are gonna be lit

#

cope

vestal wren
#

my issue rly is that i am not sure how to progress in a crafting profession

#

while keeping enchanting

thorn crater
#

drop enchanting then?

eager sorrel
#

Real money week 1 is going to be profession equipment

thorn crater
#

LW crafts at least one for every profession

#

lul

vestal wren
eager sorrel
#

Mmhmmm

#

Legacy recipes?

thorn crater
vestal wren
#

my guild/gf needs enchanting, so i take the L to cover that

thorn crater
#

drop engiineering then

#

get some mining

main solar
#

Time to make a gathering alt

thorn crater
#

if u dont pvp u wont really notice

vestal wren
#

drop jeeves, blingtron, wormhole, etc... sunken cost problem

eager sorrel
thorn crater
#

jeeves is not necessary anymore

Lets go with 3 to be safe

Hear me out, mailbox for radinax

eager sorrel
vestal wren
#

^ mailbox def. is a good one too

thorn crater
#

u dont need a mailbox either

#

u will have at least one nightborne

#

those things are overrated nowadays

#

all craftable items +mounts

eager sorrel
#

Radinax is king for DF leveling :P

#

Stamina is so feel bad until you collect seals

vestal wren
#

i get your conclusion sangreal, i just preferer having the engineering benefits if that's okay with you

thorn crater
#

no ofc im not trying to pressure u lmao

#

just saying

eager sorrel
#

Are the court of stars profession bonuses still a thing? Didn't test last week at all

vestal wren

i don't see why they would remove them

iirc there are also profession bonuses in the new dungeons

subtle tundra

wow this was a quick fix from last night

vernal adder
#

they do quick fixes?

subtle tundra

no, probably just a coincidence

thorn crater

it wasnt a coincidence

#

i think it was cev that pinged realz about this?

#

not sure though one of the green dudes told him 😛

subtle tundra
#

ik just a coincidence they rolled out a hotfix today

sharp falcon

can you ctrl+f a couple tooltip fixes so I can stop telling people kingsbane "lethal poison" is not a deathmark dupe poison

nocturne current
#

I spent whole night sim'ing tables to end up in disappointment that I'm running out of buttons.

subtle tundra
#

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

nocturne current
#

I don't wanna play Blindside. SucksMan

subtle tundra
#

well

sharp falcon
#

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

subtle tundra
balmy condor
sharp falcon
#

also what do u mean

subtle tundra
#

oh wait its a new day i have an idea

sharp falcon
#

about kingsbane

subtle tundra
#

delete exsanguinate

nocturne current
#

Yeah I have Exs, but Blindside makes me sad.

balmy condor
#

well this says "lethal poison"

sharp falcon
#

please xplain

#

yes

balmy condor
#

and this says "lethal poisons"

sharp falcon
#

oh

#

LOL

balmy condor
#

and a lethal poison

sharp falcon
#

god

balmy condor
#

is a lethal poison

sharp falcon
#

are all other references to "lethal poison" capitalized?

balmy condor
#

frozensoviet has a whole shitlist of tooltip nonsense let me see if I can find it

balmy condor
subtle tundra
sharp falcon
#

I don't love that it uses the same words but I'm pretty sure "Lethal Poison" and "Non-Lethal Poison" are capitalized

subtle tundra
#

youre too smart for that

oak sky

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?

balmy condor
nocturne current
#

Lol the Sepsis one.

sharp falcon
#

lethal dose should for sure work on kingsbane, any nature or bleed DoT should

#

does it really not?

#

im almost positive it does

balmy condor
#

Idk I didn't double check him on his rant

#

I think it does as well

jade abyss
#

I dont even care about pvp but evokers have bleed dispel?

sharp falcon
#

im willing to make a note of all this and double check of course, we know of a couple bugs

balmy condor
#

do you know of the bug that makes kingsbane -5%

#

to dtb

sharp falcon
#

what ?

balmy condor
#

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

oak sky
#

we love skipping step starege

balmy condor
#

I was thinking imp poison would have to compete with shrouded

#

but I missed that you can just decide to forgo step

jade abyss
#

No kb? pepehands

balmy condor
#

and then claim that 15% weapon poison beats shadowstep

#

and just chill

subtle tundra
#

well step is not really needed, you just play 1 charge

balmy condor
#

yeah it's a lil weird tho isn't it

subtle tundra
#

its weird cause you need step to get bloody mess, i agree

balmy condor
#

you got 3 points and your options are step into bloody mess, or 3 poison damage nodes

subtle tundra
#

bloody mess is a 3 point investment for 2 dps points

grim breach
#

Skipping step is skipping the garrotte/rupture dmg, is that wise?

balmy condor
#

sim says you're cranking

#

do you like cranking

grim breach
#

I love it

balmy condor
#

then it seems pretty wise to me

grim breach
#

Something seems of if we are cranking without a direct buff to our main dots

balmy condor
#

poisons are dots

#

well

#

kinda

night delta
#

Passive dmg

balmy condor
#

1/4 damage sources is a dot

subtle tundra
#

hmmm m+ testing going on, after gym maybe some m+ assa stream like a boss?

balmy condor
#

varas playing sin in 2022

nocturne current
#

Are you running Tea or Stratagem in prepatch Varas, in m+?

subtle tundra
#

DS always

#

tea maybe you can skip in m+

balmy condor
#

asking varas for talent help is shaky ground

night delta
#

If the dtb setup and kb setup are 5% apart, I guess we're not that far from the "meaningful choice" sweetspot

oak sky
#

no seal fate

subtle tundra
#

bro but shadow dance feels so good with IC surely its good

nocturne current
#

And wire.

balmy condor
#

lets go

night delta
#

Just a few touches here and there and it's good2go, no ?

nocturne current
#

Ah wait, nah fuck that.

#

I'm night elf.

balmy condor
#

what kind of meaningful choice is 5% apart

subtle tundra
nocturne current
#

Ain't no time for shadow dance. peepo

night delta
balmy condor
subtle tundra
#

they were crankin

balmy condor
#

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

subtle tundra
#

IC + KB m+ setup

balmy condor
#

shut the fuck up varas

subtle tundra
#

🥰

night delta
#

Again, didn't say we were at that point yet gee

balmy condor
#

I feel deja vu

night delta
#

But 5% is one or two small ability / talent buffs away

sharp falcon
#

If all of Frozen's contentions are true, I'd be very surprised

subtle tundra
#

zoldyck also sucks for prog cause its a lot of dps you dont have until late into prog

balmy condor
oak sky
#

💀

subtle tundra
#

but zoldyck also good cause execute is poggers on some bosses

nocturne current
#

Zoldyck sucked in every sim I ran. lul

This is what happens when you transplant an american to the uk

#

You get frozensoviet

balmy condor
#

marmite 💀

subtle tundra
#

@sharp falcon cant sbs get changed to have unity 2 target cleave into it please please im willing to sacrifice exsanguinate for it

night delta
#

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

balmy condor
#

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 :/

subtle tundra
#

add 5% envenom dmg to it im so smart

balmy condor
#

you're almost describing amp poison

#

just a little more varas

sharp falcon
#

"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)

subtle tundra
#

no way im not giving people ideas for free

sharp falcon
subtle tundra
#

even better i will take that

#

delete exsang

sharp falcon
#

SBS target #1, tab, SBS target #2, etc

#

i believe in u

subtle tundra

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It would have made life easier in M+ AoE, tbh, without spending 3 globals spreading it

Tab targeting SBS starege

night delta
#

The dot is honestly an added bonus on trash

balmy condor
sharp falcon
#

it did, yep

#

it's a tangled mess ngl

balmy condor
#

oh yeah

#

love that

#

not my problem though PepeLaugh

sharp falcon
#

I briefly considered 'make everything work with everything all the time' but I'm glad I didn't

balmy condor
#

when you said dance should work with everything I was a little sus

sharp falcon
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean you ENTER dance and LEAVE dance, but I get it

#

riding thin on the technicality

#

but I get it

sharp falcon
#

I think it's pretty clear but I get it

grim breach
#

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.

sharp falcon
#

"isnt being invisible the foremost combat bonus of being in stealth, why doesnt dance give me that?" -- no one's asked yet

balmy condor
#

dancing isn't very stealthy though

nocturne current
#

Wait SD is 8 sec cooldown, what.

vernal adder
#

rogues doing capoiera?

balmy condor
#

yeah 6 second buff 8 second cooldown

night delta
#

Well i for one would like to crank in arenas while invisible

balmy condor
#

you're definitely reading that right

sharp falcon
subtle tundra
#

a 1 point imperfection...

I mean at least exsang is doing dam

have you seen flying daggers

limber lion
sharp falcon
#

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

subtle tundra
#

ohhhh actives have square and passives have circles

#

wowwwww

#

WOOO

night delta
#

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 ?

sharp falcon

maybe

there's only 2 types of talents, good ones and exsang

did you enjoy dtb or ic more?

you kill that boss whisp? was it like 3 bosses

balmy condor

I think IC on 4 is a little weird but it did about the same

maybe just need to get used to it

balmy condor
#

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

We get 1 min IC and SBS tabbing expansion pack.

do u wait for vanish before going into DM to get the most out of the doubled improved garrote?

Toxic onslaught is a dogshit leggo effect

nocturne current

I found 0 uses for Sepsis.

oak sky
#

Yeah we know its bad

#

Move on

honest vessel
#

maybe if we leaned into the reset aspect and had it fill a mfd + poison kinda niche

#

would have an interesting synergy with zold

nocturne current
#

It should just throw you back into stealth. I never understood the free ability.. cool a whole Ambush...

honest vessel
#

i think the issue there is pvp

#

heckin minigame ruinin our fun

#

but another in combat restealth would be very big

#

so i understand

nocturne current
#

I mean is it..

#

Sub Nelf already has 100 restealths don't think it's that much of an issue.

honest vessel
#

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?

nocturne current
#

I think Vanish has another charge

honest vessel
#

no

#

thats a new talent

nocturne current
#

Or atleast give Sepsis empowered Garrote or something, like this is just sad.

honest vessel
#

agree, it has room to grow

marble hemlock
honest vessel
#

ye

nocturne current
#

Wait does it actually work? I thoguht you really needed to be in stealth for it to be improved.

honest vessel
#

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

nocturne current
#

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.

honest vessel
#

ye the wording can be goofy

nocturne current
#

Nah I tried, doesn't work.

#

It's still a standard garrote. (pre-patch)

#

But maybe they redesigned it for dragonflight.

#

No clue.

balmy condor
#

it definitely should work

limber lion
#

Okay I just tested it and it does not work in the live game and only the damage amp works in the beta.

balmy condor
#

pog

limber lion
#

Some spaghetti going on because it definitely worked properly previously without incurring cd and granting SS effects as well iirc

balmy condor
#

I love tracking bugs across beta and live and ptr and all of them different

limber lion
#

yeh fun stuff

vivid blade
#

hi all, after the rupture/garrote buffs and scent of blood buffs, is IC better for m+ or is DtB still better?

limber lion
#

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

next arch
#

Where is DTBs value coming from?

#

Energy Regen and flat damage from the additional poison?

balmy condor
#

poison damage good and poison do thing like buff envenom good and dashing good and energy good and lethal dose good

next arch
#

Poison good?

balmy condor
#

looks good to me

#

12% deadly, and then like 15% amp?

#

makes dtb at least 12% right off the bat just from that

next arch
#

It's "competing" with kingsbane right?

balmy condor
#

in single target

#

and IC in aoe

#

yes

next arch
#

And it's out performing KB? What about IC?

balmy condor
#

it's outperforming IC

#

well

#

I guess depends on your definition of "outperforming"

next arch
#

So it's just the talent to take at current time? (Assuming nothing changes once we have access to it)

balmy condor
#

it's beating IC in dungeonslice

#

if you sim 8 target 1 min

#

IC is going to be better obv

limber lion
#

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

next arch
#

It's really awkward I've noticed.

balmy condor
#

it's technically better on 4 by a good chunk as well

#

but it gets hairy at 3

limber lion
#

DTB is just super strong in single

#

and IC does nothing

next arch
#

Man that's sad. KB being a fun button not being as good as a passive Sadge

limber lion
#

tuning is not final

next arch
#

No of course not

#

But as of current, assuming nothing changes

balmy condor
#

idk if KB can recover from 7% worse in single target just from "tuning is not final" honestly

#

might be a 10.1 angle

limber lion
#

rip

#

alright go next boys

next arch
#

Feral druid time

balmy condor
#

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

vivid blade
#

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?

limber lion
#

updated build from last week?

#

what the

balmy condor
#

yeah I'm gonna just put a couple beta builds into the pins and see what happens

next arch
#

owo new builds? Any major changes? Or just stuff on wowhead

balmy condor
#

wowhead is prepatch builds

#

these gonna be beta

next arch
#

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

vivid blade
#

thanks whispyr ❤️ ur the best

limber lion
#

The actual expansion release.

#

Pre-patch is like a bridge between Shadowlands and Dragonflight.

next arch
#

Yeah silly me.

signal pier
#

u silly

next arch
#

Is there a stat squish?

limber lion
#

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 kekl

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

also the 0.3% are for non-exsang

so you gar snd gar, then get your bone spike and rupture, and then deathmark and vanish gar

#

so
