if you're trying to be the best that ever was you play outlaw

uncut echo
#

Seli it'll get tuned up

balmy condor
#

or windwalker

marble hemlock
#

you should play what you enjoy

balmy condor
#

or a wizard spec

uncut echo
#

LULW WINDWALKER

balmy condor
#

like warlock

#

or mage

marble hemlock
#

but assa isn't in a good spot atm, and a few more 5% buffs aint gonna fix that either

balmy condor
#

or boomkin

sand elm
ebon garnet
#

given i am boosted, i want to play the least ablity, button mashing spec

uncut echo
#

It's a core playstyle issue

nocturne current
#

Even the chickens got perma IC lol.

balmy condor
#

that's outlaw

marble hemlock
#

wdym

balmy condor
#

button mashing?

marble hemlock
#

outlaw is button mashing

balmy condor
#

boosted?

uncut echo
#

Outlaw is turboapm

balmy condor
#

outlaw for sure

#

smash face on keyboard

marble hemlock
#

but he wants the LEAST button mashing spec

#

so not outlaw

balmy condor
#

oh

uncut echo
balmy condor
#

idk, sin but a bad build then I guess

nocturne current
#

0 haste Outlaw. lul

ebon garnet
#

button mashing = hotbar intensive in terms of ablitys on it and how many to juggle, boosted = level 60 boost

vivid blade
#

you can hold an ability to continuously cast it now so they can go ww

sand elm
#

assassination with its 60 apm vs outlaws 600

marble hemlock
#

outlaw has a bunch of buttons, its awkward to play

uncut echo
#

You dont need haste you have perma AR

#

I have 5% haste on my rogue LUL

#

I wouldnt say awkward imo

#

It's just so blisteringly fast

marble hemlock
#

but yeah, as for assa is concerned, just keep at it, familiarize yourself with the spells and rotational priorities, and you'll have a good grasp of everything by the time the expansion actually comes out

ebon garnet
#

also its unclear from the talent builds which one is a standard PvE build, and not Raid etc

nocturne current
#

Blade Flurry is like what

#

40% of the DPS?

marble hemlock
#

theres no "standard pve" build

nocturne current
sand elm
#

blade flurry is enough to rename the spec to it instead of outlaw

marble hemlock
#

theres singletarget build(s) (multiple) and a suggested m+ build but like, we dont really know for sure which one is gonna come out ahead. youre looking for answers to questions that no one has a definitive answer to yet, because the new expansion isnt out yet

uncut echo
#

Leave outlaw alone

#

Pirate go brr

sand elm
ebon garnet
marble hemlock
#

wdym?

#

theres a raid build, a m+ build and a leveling build

#

thats kinda self explanatory, no?

sand elm
#

i use the m+ build for general dungeons and world content and the raid one for raids

marble hemlock
#

if you raid you take the raid build, if you do m+ you take the m+ build

uncut echo
marble hemlock
#

you can freely switch talents anytime youre out of combat/not in the middle of a dungeon, so just play around with everything, switch builds etc. how you like

ebon garnet
#

well since dragonflight is not out yet i am at max level, but that will ofc change with dragonflight so i pick the leveling build ?

uncut echo
#

It's way more involved than before. No standards. Import all 3 and use whichever suits the content you're doing

sand elm
uncut echo
#

I wouldnt worry about shit if you arent max yet

sand elm
#

we wont be using either of those builds in DF anyway cos DTB

nocturne current
#

Quest min-maxing.

sand elm
#

so no need to worry about it

uncut echo
#

Questmaxing

ebon garnet
timid cloud
#

Not running MFD next tier. Kill it.

uncut echo
#

Then b line it for dtb and vibe

#

Leveling doesnt matter

#

Imagine mfd when you could just not?

ebon garnet
#

also sorry for the dumb newbie questions, not played any wow for a long time, and the last char i played was a warrior

sand elm
#

not dumb questions

ebon garnet
#

decided to return on a boosted Rogue

marble hemlock
#

dw about it. its prepatch, its all new and no one really knows what theyre doing

#

so just have some fun, tryo ut everything

#

see if you like it

nocturne current
#

Build for world PVP.

uncut echo
#

They aren't dumb, I just think some of the intent was lost in text

#

I hope you enjoy rogue! It's my facorite clasd in the game, zero contest. It'll always be my forever home ❤️

nocturne current
#

Actually that build is quite solid for PVP.

gonna re-order the pins

that's the second time today

#

maybe a new red dot on the pin icon

#

gonna help

oblique jackal
#

hey guys, want trinkets do we get from dinar again?

balmy condor

scars, cache, amp

#

in that order

oblique jackal

you da bomb

#

same for outlaw?

balmy condor
#

uh

#

yeah

#

pretty much

timid cloud
#

Dusk walker is broken?

balmy condor

I hate you

timid cloud

LOL

What's Duskwalker? I'm an outlaw main now.

Father Whispyr has converted me

balmy condor

this PB dslice stuff

#

is actually going to make me lose my shit

#

holy

candid geyser
#

Why no stream

balmy condor
#

because I'm at work

timid cloud
#

Did you even sleep yet?

balmy condor
#

wdym

#

I slept 3 hours last night and 45 min earlier

timid cloud
#

Someone said they were sleepy time.

balmy condor
#

thats my full 4 hours

timid cloud
#

.

sand elm
#

is the sim basically saying its better to just use cp on ct instead of the odd envenom for pb?

balmy condor
#

no

#

it's very indecisive about what it wants

#

but generally leans towards pb

coral sierra
#

how rogue is rogue

#

should i human female rogue over warlock for the aesthetics

sand elm
#

what is it ur trying to find out then if its generally saying use pb

sand elm
candid geyser
#

I'm down whispyr

#

we just DTB with PB for ST and AOE

#

spam envenom for days

#

let's go

balmy condor
sand elm
#

aha

balmy condor
#

because I refuse to believe that I have 2.5% for non-pb profiles

#

and 0% for pb profiles

#

idk it's weird

#

my lines are huge in cleave

#

but fall super flat in other areas

#

kinda at a bit of a loss

#

but idk

#

keep trying I guess

oblique jackal
#

why can't you sleep?

balmy condor
#

like I get this

#

and I'm like

#

okay sure

sand elm
#

ud expect CT to be stronger with less targets

balmy condor
#

no

#

PB

sand elm
#

as pb doesnt have a dr cap, whereas ct does at 8? i think

balmy condor
#

PB for sure

#

CT is like

#

4-8 target gaming

#

less than that and PB is obliterating

candid geyser
#

So basically PB

balmy condor
candid geyser
#

I'm seeing some big weaknesses in IC and CT with my beta runs. My big aoe burst is higher - but I suffer such losses in <4 targets and bosses. DTB w/ CT seems just more stable overall

balmy condor
#

well yeh

#

that's why IC is currently behind in dslice

sand elm
#

i wonder what changes after 4 targets

balmy condor
#

CT catches up

#

is what happens

candid geyser
#

Kinda thinking we'll never play IC tbh unless they change something

sand elm
#

yeh but why. ct's dr cap is 8 so both would be doing full damage untill 8 targets. so why would ct suddenly get better at 4 when pb still has a higher ap modifier

balmy condor
#

because CT replaces an envenom

#

you have to overcome the loss from an envenom in the first place

sand elm
#

so the direct damage from ct 4+ takes over the damage that envenom was covering at lower

balmy condor
#

not just the direct

#

but yeah

#

CT on 4 targets

#

is 4x the damage

#

the envenom always hits 1 target

sand elm
#

yeh i was just trying to imagine it right in my head by comparing pb to ct dot and the direct damage to envenom

balmy condor
#

oh

#

yeah you can't do taht

sand elm
#

well if ur just comparing total damage values of each, isnt 4 the breakpoint ur looking for?

#

if thats when ct takes over

balmy condor
#

that's when I've noticed it

#

but I ain't sitting here double checking math

#

all I know is CT is like

#

way way stronger than PB

#

but PB is "free"

#

and CT isn't

sand elm
#

yeh was gonna say, dont they usually try and make actives talents stronger than passives

balmy condor
#

I mean just AP value CT at 5cp is 153% and PB is like 52% or something factoring in the proc chance

sand elm
#

quite the difference

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

but envenom is 110% at 5cp

#
  • poison damage
#

so

sand elm
#

i wonder if theyre trying to avoid the situation we had in legion where poison bomb was insanely powerful

balmy condor
#

I would hope they are

#

poison bomb isn't in a place to be a 10% talent

sand elm
#

would explain pb having that much a lower modifier with more targets

#

but just speculation

balmy condor
#

I mean the explanation is literally just PB is free damage

#

PB costs you nothing

sand elm
#

yeh ofc i mean why its so much lower than ct, not the fact it is just weaker

fathom finch
#

@balmy condor A question came up in Swifty's stream when he was theory-crafting Sin Rogue regarding "Snapshotting." Is that a thing for Sin Rogues, or is that only Feral Druids and Afflic Locks?

balmy condor
#

I have never heard a more terrifying first sentence in my life holy shit

sand elm
#

lol

balmy condor
#

exsang snapshots haste

fathom finch
#

LOL

balmy condor

that's it

balmy condor

swifty theorycrafting sin rogue

#

what a fucking world we live in

fathom finch
#

I wanted to pass along accurate info.

#

Naw he's just playing around. XD

balmy condor
#

yeh I get u

primal wedge
#

New to rogue. If i was at 4 combo points and I cap out at 5. I shouldn't mutilate since i'd waste a combo point and should instead cast a combo spender. Is that correct?

next arch
#

You'd potentially waste 3

#

Finisher on -1 from Max

#

So if you've got 6 max, use finisher on 5.

dim citrus
next arch
#

If you've got 5 finish on 4.

primal wedge
#

Got it, thank you!

#

Do you guys prefer the 6cp to marked for death?

dim citrus
misty holly
dim citrus
# primal wedge Do you guys prefer the 6cp to marked for death?

Marked for death in the past was a tiny bit higher in DPS because it took a bit more skill to not waste it. Honestly I don’t think there is enough played time in the spec to say one is better. Marked for Death can be lots of fun if you focus on min maxing it but maybe new to the class the 6cp is easier to play.

primal wedge
#

Alright i'll go for the 6cp since i'm new 😛

misty holly
#

And don't worry about only doing max combo point ruptures. The total damage of rupture scales perfectly with combo points. You aren't losing rupture DPS by doing a 4 point one, only losing efficiency because the duration is lower - as long as you refresh before it wears off.

dim citrus
#

If you do go 6cp, don’t rule out switching to MfD once you have the muscle memory of playing sin spec. It’s always good to be learning.

primal wedge
#

Thanks, I really do appreciate the help

dim citrus
#

It’s all minimal

misty holly
#

Yes, but the cost of Mutilate is more.

#

and the loss of those "wasted" combo points that could have been thrown into an Envenom later

primal wedge
#

Is there a way to make all the action bar change when you stealth? Mine always swaps the first one

dim citrus
#

Very valid points Ghost

balmy condor
#

I wish there was a way to make all the action bars not change

#

D:

primal wedge
#

I want it all to change 😦

balmy condor
#

and neither of us can have what we want

#

weird

primal wedge
#

💔

balmy condor
#

addon I guess

dim citrus
balmy condor
#

replace the action bars

misty holly
#

I just wish Sepsis didn't bring up the stealth bar. It is more annoying than it's worth.

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

eventually just going to have to get myself bartender or elv or something

#

and just cull all the paging

nocturne current
primal wedge
#

theres no reason to have ambush on stealth bar is there

balmy condor
#

not atm

primal wedge
#

Looking at the opener guide for sin, I assume even though it says garrote > SND I wanna add in some mutilate in there to build for longer SND?

teal bloom
#

You dont need longer snd because of cut to the chase

#

Envenom extends snd so it doesn't run out

primal wedge
#

that makes sense

cerulean nest
#

any of the trinkets on beta feeling good rn?

nocturne current
#

Did someone kept a screenshot of the hectic cleave trinkets for assa? Was it Cache on top?

balmy condor
#

hectic cleave trinkets

nocturne current
#

For M+

balmy condor
#

dungeonslice is cache

#

don't sim hectic

#

not a useful fight type

thorn crater
#

how did the PB shenanigans go?

spice spire
#

I uh

#

I’ll let him elaborate

thorn crater
#

oh god

strange python
#

Which one of you is this

radiant vine
#

is there way to get Dragon-Tempered Blades or it only on higher lvl ?

timid cloud
#

WE BACK IN LEGION BOIS

#

PB IS BACK

thorn crater
#

?

timid cloud
#

That was pretty straightforward.

#

Whispyr was simming if it was worth it to run PB over CT in low target counts.

#

For D-Slice. I believe in the power of PB.

thorn crater
#

no i know but

#

i need somethign more 😛

#

cause it should be worse

#

right?

#

RIGHT?

timid cloud
#

Oh. That’s all I got for knowledge. I’m not a TC, or sim person.

#

I mean…I don’t think it’s bad per say.

thorn crater
#

good thing we base results on numbers not thoughts 😛 😛

#

but convenience wise ye i get you

timid cloud
#

Yeah. It’s just been that we’ve been there before. Back when we stacked a fair amount of mastery, but…that was awhile ago.

#

We just gotta wait & see.

#

Makes sense though, cause we do Crit/Mastery.

#

But I’m not gonna feelcraft it.

#

Gonna wait for numbers. But I am hopeful.

junior rampart
#

PB feels so bad in prepatch.

balmy condor
timid cloud
#

HUH

strange python
#

Plz no.

timid cloud
vernal adder
#

@spice spire thoughts?

timid cloud
#

Uh-oh…

#

What did I miss???

balmy condor
#

I broke him

strange python
#

Who's excited to play around exsang again

timid cloud
balmy condor
timid cloud
#

NONONONONONONONONO

balmy condor
#

CT is good

#

And PB is good

timid cloud
#

I like both.

balmy condor
#

And Rupture is also good

timid cloud
#

Can I have both?

strange python
#

I assume early Sims have us holding exsang for DM?

balmy condor
#

You actually SHOULD have both

#

It’s the highest dslice

timid cloud
strange python
#

Uh oh

balmy condor
#

Exsang on cooldown brother

strange python
#

Does it line up with DM???

balmy condor
strange python
#

Or is it just supreme degen

timid cloud
balmy condor
#

How many times does 45 fit into 120 my man

strange python
#

I mean idk, I'm not at computer to check CD and I didn't remember exsang CD

timid cloud
#

Uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh

#

3????

#

I’m bad at math.

strange python
#

Good lord. Exsang on CD sounds like maddening play style

balmy condor
#

2 and 2/3rds

timid cloud
#

🧮

balmy condor
#

Hold exsang you lose 2/3rds of a cast

strange python
#

Can't tell if whispyr is broken by questions about exsang, or by coming to terms with exsang being good

balmy condor
#

Hold DM for 15 seconds you lose DM casts

#

I have simmed close to 40 hours in the last week and a half

#

And yesterday I couldn’t sleep cause poison bomb was on my mind

strange python
#

But

#

What if they rebalance things

balmy condor
#

Then I have the logic and I change the numbers and everything is okay

strange python
#

There's legit a dual-wielding thief roaming my neighborhood.

#

Which one of you snapped

balmy condor
#

My issue is the logic isn’t logicing

#

But balancing changing the numbers in the logic is no biggie

thorn crater
#

so essentially

strange python
#

Exsang makes me sad.

thorn crater
#

we are dagger outlaw

#

press buttons as they light up

strange python
#

Idk if I'd call outlaw the highlighted button spec

echo cargo
#

every time i check discord Whispy is like, mid mental-boom panic attack

thorn crater
#

ure right ure holding RTB if u got good buffs

#

LULW

#

so... no IC, and run PB and CT in dungeons?

#

and pray for the best?

ebon garnet
#

anyone got some more explicit guidance then the wowhead guide as to what i should have on my hotbars ?

next arch
#

I can send my bars if you want.

junior rampart
#

With DS, it's going to be a 60% chance to proc PB. Proc chance is fine. But dmg seems low.

ebon garnet
#

also is there a way to copy and paste from the normal bar to the steath bar the ablitys placed ?

next arch
#

Main rotational stuff is on bottom bar.

#

and no

#

you have to redrag stuff from book into the "stealth bar"

ebon garnet
#

so far i have this:

#

going from reading the wowhead stuff

next arch
#

Mutilate is your spam ability

#

Garote and rupture are something youll hit every, 20ish seconds.

#

Envenom when youre not hitting rupture.

oak sky
#

envenom is your main filler finisher

ebon garnet
#

this is not the final order or placement, just put them there in order of whats on the guide and spaced them out for now to keep them organized

next arch
#

Youll want Feint

#

shadow

ebon garnet
#

going to also add shadow step and a few other things to

next arch
#

vial, dodge, kick

#

Distract or whatever the smoke bomb is, is amazing if youre doing dungeons, super niche, but you might still want it.

ebon garnet
#

but am rn getting the main stuff organized then the other things, then fine tune placement

#

doing what i did re setting up hotbars in EQ2 pretty much in terms of getting the stuff on the bars, then fine tuning placement and keyboard shortcuts etc

oak sky
#

just try to bind everything besides pickpocket and pick lock basically

hollow river
ebon garnet
#

likely will do the move movement keys to e,s,d,f trick to

hollow river
#

never seen that before

next arch
#

Elvui?

ebon garnet
#

that helps to free up more keyboard keys near the movement keys

hollow river
#

that's what i thought but usually everyone with elv has the black bars

oak sky
#

harder to press shift and ctrl modifiers tho prob

next arch
#

I cannot play this game without the razer naga.

ebon garnet
#

i installed mayronui to try

next arch
#

Call me whatever, but having 12 buttons is a godsend.

ebon garnet
#

as it looked nice and minimal

ebon garnet
next arch
#

Evasion sorry

plain onyx
#

What is the difference between "Talent Build" and "Key Talents" on Wowhead?

oak sky
#

talent build should be the exact setup and key talents is like important talents

#

like ones you should always have pretty much

plain onyx
#

Alright, thanks

timid cloud
#

Ones that make the build actually work. Then it should be the optional ones & then uhhh I think the situational ones as well.

#

I wish Exsang wasn’t in there though.

next arch
#

Exswhat?

I’m so full of Doomblade, YUM

pseudo hamlet
#

I knew that we would be bloated with new abilities in Dragonflight after I saw the new talents. I played Assa because it was chill spec. Don't really want to micro-manage and line-up dozen of abilities to be the most optimal. Fuck that, going to play Fury with 3 abilites and 2 CDs. exsangery

oak sky

fury has new buttons too lmao

am i the only rogue player that because he started with rogue he cannot touch warrior?

i dunno im allergic to all warrior/barbarian on every rpg

#

i just.... cant

oak sky

i hate warrior tbh

pseudo hamlet
oak sky
#

tea is all about the energy so not really

next arch
#

Thistle isnt worth playing around

#

just pop when energy us needed

thorn crater
#

and without KB shiv lineup is, i assume, non existant

#

we are outlaw with less dmg now poggers

#

which kinda make sense, we use cheap short daggers

#

they use fancy swords

hollow river
next edge
hollow river
#

we used to hold shiv up to 12sec for vendetta but vendetta also buffed envenom dmg iirc?

#

DM i assume does not as it just duplicates bleeds

oak sky
#

think you line shiv for DM with 2 shiv

next edge
#

Yep

oak sky
#

on cd but 1 with dm

#

because it also doubles your poisons

hollow river
#

it does?

#

yep it does

#

nice

oak sky
#

not sure what it would be with single shiv but i think we're playing double anyways so

hollow river
#

yeah

#

not gonna be difficult to line it up

#

at all

pseudo hamlet
#

And keep in mind the Lethal Dose talents, that increases poison/bleed dmg for each poison/bleed on the target. So I guess it's also a nice thing to take in consideration.

thorn crater
thorn crater
#

i mean we do

next edge
#

No

thorn crater

its an exsanguinate world and we all live in it

yes.

after opener u press everything on cd

if u believe otherwise enjoy dps loss

not my job to convince you

and keep ur weird emotes for your zoomer friends

next edge

You won't

You need to chill

im chill af. im not the one that @ ed you

ure the weird one

Uh

acoustic sky
next edge
#

I guess it's time to stop feeding the troll

#

I'm a weird and he insults me

#

But then he whispers me 3 times to help him out with some stuff

thorn crater
#

i insulted you?!

#

bruh

#

now ure legit werid

#

weird

#

thank god for the block option. bb

cobalt hemlock
#

that guy seems to be very invested in this

next edge
#

Well he just went personal

#

After disagreeing with him

thorn crater
#

invested in what? the fact taht we need to press our spells on cooldown cause exsa does not line up with anything?

next edge
#

Guess not everyone can stand a civilised conversation

#

Calling me weird is not an insult or say "your zoomer friends" is a friendly take

thorn crater
#

at least i now see "1 blocked message" instead

next edge
#

Very mature to block someone who disagree with you after insulting him

#

And play the victim role

oak sky
balmy condor
next edge
#

But I might be mistaken

oak sky
#

you pretty much do

next edge
#

I don't need to get insulted for that anyways

balmy condor
#

What does “all on cd” mean in this context

thorn crater
#

that we cant line up cooldowns

#

so essentially not using them and holding them results in dps loss

#

now, if u wanna hold evasion or sprint go ahead

balmy condor
#

Respectfully I’m asking lambda not you

thorn crater
#

oh ok

#

i thought it was going ot me

#

since i started this apparently with my ignorant statement

next edge
#

Or I miss understood the context

balmy condor
#

Yeah idk how this became an issue honestly

next edge
#

For disagreeinh

balmy condor
#

I mean I get it

next edge
#

Instead of explaining properly

balmy condor
#

Y’all both kinda dipshits for it, I can read what happened

#

But I get it

thorn crater
#

imagine, sending someone weird emotes and then thinking it does not equate to calling them weird

#

but somehow i insulted him

#

wtf

oak sky
#

its just an emote man

subtle tundra
balmy condor
#

Y’all both overreacted way too hard

#

It happens

i hate catpog

balmy condor
#

Just chill

proper summit
oak sky
next edge
#

Yeah I'm chill, won't keep the conversation

balmy condor
#

Perfect

thorn crater
#

also telling u to use the emotes that mean weird to ur zoomer friends is not an insult. just because u dont type out and calling some weird does not mean u do it.

its clapping back to someone calling me weird

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

for no reason

oak sky
#

the emote isnt someone calling you weird LMAO

pseudo hamlet
#

Isn't "all on CD" kinda exaggerated sentence? I don'

thorn crater
pseudo hamlet
#

t really see thistle tea or Exang being used on CD as a DPS gain 😛

balmy condor
#

Like people use emotes

#

All the time

next edge
balmy condor
pseudo hamlet
balmy condor
#

Thistle tea is for 100 energy, but it’s also “on cooldown” as long as that’s satisfied

balmy condor
#

Exsang doesn’t come up and you go “oh no! Exsang came up! I need to refresh my bleeds! Better do that while I sit on my exsang and let it rot!”

pseudo hamlet
#

Of course, but there are situations where you cannot really prepare yourself for that.

balmy condor
#

Feels like a technicality at that point

oak sky
#

like if youre talking about for movement or something

#

that applies to literally everything ever

balmy condor
#

You can’t cast exsang on cooldown if you’re soaking a circle 25 yards away and can’t refresh rupture

#

Sure

oak sky
#

you cant press exsang when you run out on sludgefist, well you actually cant press mutilate either

oak sky
#

its a nonstatement

#

it doesn't mean anything

balmy condor
#

By that logic you can’t cast anything on cooldown

#

And you can’t refresh bleeds

#

Or function

next edge
#

But is there a bleed timer where you don't want to recast bleeds? Or should always reapply before exsang

balmy condor
#

If the answer to “cast on cooldown” is going to be “well what if you can’t” then like why are we talking about it

pseudo hamlet
balmy condor
#

But that’s not something you aim to do

#

No one plays like that

oak sky
pseudo hamlet

peepostudy can’t use cooldowns on cooldown when out of range.

pseudo hamlet
balmy condor
next edge
balmy condor
#

It doesn’t have to move, it can cast on cooldown

#

And you can’t

#

Isn’t it silly to sim then

#

Why bother simming

timid cloud
#

Every fight is Patchwork if you ignore mechanics.

pseudo hamlet
timid cloud
next edge
#

I think the statement "ON CD" is pretty clear and implies those situations where you do mechanics

subtle kiln
#

@balmy condor ima go prayge for you. good luck 🍀

balmy condor
oak sky
#

mechanics usually lose you like a global or 2 if you play well

#

its like nothing

balmy condor
#

But one of these things is valid

#

And the other is unrealistic

#

You see the issue?

pseudo hamlet
#

That's a really good point.

balmy condor
#

You can’t go both ways on it. Either you can’t ever cast on cooldown and so simming is a pointless exercise in unrealistic and worthless hypothetical optimizations, or you can cast on cooldown and just have to live with the reality that sometimes you might have to delay things 5 seconds because that’s how the game works, but it doesn’t mean the logic changes, it just means you cast it when it’s next available to you

oak sky
#

yeah i view on cooldown as "as soon as possible"

thorn crater
#

whispyr spewing sense at 5 in the morning

timid cloud
#

Go to sleep, my pal.

oak sky
#

dw its only 2:30

#

not 5

thorn crater

oh ok

welp

timid cloud
#

It’s 4:25am here in Texas.

thorn crater

west coast east coast

#

who keeps count

#

i thought whispyr is all the way west

oak sky
#

yeah

#

its 2:30 pacific rn

timid cloud
#

Don’t forget it’s daylight savings btw we gained an hour

pseudo hamlet
#

I just thought the phrase 'everything on CD' sounded like an exaggeration. It did not include "with full preparation"(e.g. having refreshed bleeds), which could lead to misunderstanding.

oak sky
#

yeah its past daylight savings

#

it changes at 2 which was an hour and a half ago

balmy condor
timid cloud
#

Yeah

thorn crater
#

i mean u have to assume you are playing ur spec correctly up to that point, including having ur bleeds up in preparation for exsa coming off cd

balmy condor
#

I was gonna have a nice dinner with the girl but I couldn’t get a reservation at the restaurant I wanted, they’re booked until December

thorn crater
#

if we don't assume that then everything else collapses too

balmy condor
#

Bit unlucky

timid cloud
#

Yeah, I gotta work a shift at Chik-Fil-A right after church.

oak sky
#

kek

thorn crater
#

is chickfila like kfc?

timid cloud
#

(CFA is closed on Sundays for those who don’t get it.)

oak sky
#

is it like kfc hmmm

#

in a sense i guess

timid cloud
#

No. It actually tastes good.

thorn crater
#

letm e put it in a different way

#

for us europeans.

timid cloud
#

Like not having Exsang in our kit for an entire expansion.

oak sky
#

chicken sandwiches and nuggets

thorn crater
#

is it another fried chicken place?

#

contributing to obesity in the states

timid cloud
#

KFC is like having to use Exsang. Then hold it for an entire 3rd cast.

#

Feels bad, tastes bad, looks bad.

balmy condor
timid cloud
#

I’m more of a canes guy.

oak sky
#

thoughts on canes

#

yes

thorn crater
#

yet another fried chicken place?!

timid cloud
#

Can’t mess up my tendies.

thorn crater
#

wow you americans love your chicken

oak sky
#

its mostly a southern thing but

#

its creeping around

thorn crater
#

no wonder there are those 70k chicken barns

timid cloud
#

They do tendies, slaw, & toast that is it.

subtle kiln
#

canes is only the sauce. the chicken is meh

oak sky
#

yeah canes sauce is unreal

timid cloud
#

Hot take. Sauce is boss though.

oak sky
#

the chicken is pretty good though

timid cloud
#

I’m a man of taste.

oak sky
#

chick fil a has the best fries

thorn crater
#

roosters are tasty af

#

wym

balmy condor
#

Chicken G’s best chicken

oak sky
#

well done waffle fries

#

cant beat them

balmy condor
#

And it’s all mine

thorn crater
#

and then your arteries give up

balmy condor
#

Cause it’s local

thorn crater

and u die when youre 45

Y’all makin’ me hungi.

hollow river

oh thats like an actual local place

timid cloud
#

I’ll die on this hill sooner than I’ll die to the chicken.

oak sky
#

bro i thought you meant like a bay area chain or something

thorn crater
oak sky
#

and i was wondering why i had no idea what it was because ive been up there a millino times

verbal tusk
#

is weakauras updated so it stops throwing every error in the world at me?

timid cloud
#

Afenar’s hasn’t let me down yet.

hollow river
balmy condor
#

It let me down during testing

hollow river
#

some WAs prob are broken

timid cloud
#

That one that InfinityLad linked was good, but it was tiny tiny.

#

Made my eyes hurt.

hollow river
#

change the size?

#

it's easy

verbal tusk
#

big debuffs and weakauras kept popping up at inoppurtune times

#

inoppurtune?

#

ffs

timid cloud
#

I tried, I’m bad with WA, just like I’m bad with math.

verbal tusk
#

inopportune?

#

there!

timid cloud
#

Big debuffs doesn’t work last time I checked, or it was always spazzing out for everyone I know who used it.

hollow river
#

i'd recommend deleting a bunch of old WAs and reinstalling updated ones maybe

timid cloud
#

I dropped it like a bad habit awhile back.

hollow river
#

you can check on wago when they were last updated

timid cloud
#

Anything class related should go tbh.

verbal tusk
#

bigdebuffs was working ok before prepatch .. for me

#

but aye I got red of it

timid cloud
#

Because new spell ID’s will break your code.

verbal tusk
#

and rid of it too

#

any ..options for awareness based cd/debuff heads up addons?

timid cloud
#

I rawdog mine, except the raids WA pack, or the Pho ability timeline.

#

So count me out.

verbal tusk
#

thats part of why i'm the worst rogue on tich. i dont recognize actual animations in game

#

oh.. kind of pvp questions.. i dont pve at all.

#

i'll go down there

timid cloud
#

Don’t worry.

#

There’s worse Rogues on Tich.

verbal tusk
#

not in vpp

#

pvp

timid cloud
#

Like someone who replaces 5CP Ruptures with 1CP when it was a fresh 5.

oak sky
verbal tusk
#

i've probably done it

hollow river
#

gladius

verbal tusk
#

gladius is arena specific aye?

timid cloud
#

OmniCD broke for me too.

hollow river
#

bigdebuffs if its updated

hollow river
timid cloud
#

Arenas & RBG, no?

hollow river
#

most addons are gonna be broken for a bit

#

unless they have very active people making them

verbal tusk
#

well how am i gonna know to stop trying to run out of spear!

hollow river
timid cloud
#

Ahh

hollow river
#

rgb has it's own addon

timid cloud
#

Ohh

hollow river
#

similar to gladius

verbal tusk
#

or.. like.. stop trying to kill the priest while mindagames

hollow river
#

put enemy frames in a good spot

#

and your personal player frame

#

and watch the buffs/debuffs

verbal tusk
#

nope. i'm bad. i'll still repeatedly try to run out of warriors spear for the entire duration

oak sky
#

Like the first time i did pvp i didnt know what thorns looked like Cheesin

hollow river
#

there's addons you can use to put a big icon next to enemy players when they use their big CDs but that's about it

hollow river
verbal tusk
hollow river
#

but you can cloak and run out of it

#

that center WA is unnecessary in pvp

verbal tusk
#

i panicced and used cloak during warrior spin mate

hollow river
verbal tusk
#

and evasioned the locks dots

hollow river
#

just gotta practice

verbal tusk
#

😦

hollow river
#

play a lot of games and figure out what works

verbal tusk
#

i..

hollow river
#

things become second nature

verbal tusk
#

ive been playing wow since 2011 😦

hollow river
#

oh

verbal tusk
#

how much more do i need 😦

hollow river
#

🥲

verbal tusk
verbal tusk
#

i actually.. i dunno this heavy bleedy thing I have going on right now feels a bit more natural than in the past

#

a bit easier to keep up consistent pressure

subtle tundra
#

hi

#

delete exsang

#

delete outlaw

#

(make assa actually do aoe)

verbal tusk
#

ok

#

brb

#

going to edit roguedamage.c

thorn crater
#

i dont know why i cant handle seeing all spells compacted in one place

#

it makes me tunnel vision and i dont watch boss or surrounding or myself for that matter

#

whereas when they are spread they stay in the periphery of your eyes and you can still focus on the boss itself

#

i dno if what i type makes sense to anyone else

loud marlin
#

yeah it does make sense

thorn crater
#

i mean i had been customizing the infectious packet for my own needs ever since legion. but the spell ids changed and his updated things need a patreon sub so ye im looking for something new lol

#

im clueless as to WAs

loud marlin
#

that how eyes, work , in the center of your eye is more focused and the rest is not, those who use glasses have worse peripheral vision, if you look thru a pin and you are some one who uses glass youll see perfectly. Where as youmost liekly are stuggling with the WA pack just beeing clustered and not tailored towards who you play

#

anyways, i dont know if i can help on that part

thorn crater
#

nah its all good

#

ill steal whispyr's once he customizes afenar again

#

he puts them in a circle around the boss i can work with taht afterwards

#

all WAs that pop up for rogue though are modeled after afenar and luxthos

#

i cant work with that.

loud marlin
#

i just use an action bar to simulate a weakaura package and steal someones buff bar and makle it my own

thorn crater
#

and plus, i use blizz ui, so i dont need energy and CP bars (easily removable though)

loud marlin
thorn crater
#

ye i cant handle that

loud marlin
#

i usually hide the bottom bars, im just re edtting my bars with the talents that were simmed to be good

subtle kiln
#

that looks like the old infexious WA setup

spice mulch
#

last tier BFA, over 100% crit

subtle kiln
#

no idea if he made it or just pieced together stuff

thorn crater
subtle kiln
#

ah. kk

thorn crater
#

the new things need patreon sub so i cant get it

#

but all the files have changed spell ids

subtle kiln
#

just change them

#

use idtooltip

#

find the new ids

#

his setup was pretty basic

thorn crater
#

see i tried that but the spells didnt have just "aura" at trigger but some other shit

#

like i said im clueless about this stuff

subtle kiln
#

sub and get them? idk. I never cared for him, but if that’s what you want I can’t imagine they’re gated behind a huge sub

tacit oracle
thorn crater
#

that is the most natural for me though

#

i use peripheral vision a lot

#

so its easier for me than to have everything clamped up in the middle

thorn crater
subtle kiln
#

turn stuff off until it’s in CD

#

less visual clutter

#

i hate having everything plastered in the middle

#

i don’t need to know sprint isn’t on cd. i need to know when it’s ready next.

thorn crater
#

is there a rotation button in the WAs? ium trying to make afenars vertical instead of horizontal but i dont see that option anywhere

spice spire

But damn

thorn crater
#

how much do legendaries matter right now for high keys

#

or M raids?

sour elm
#

kinda depends how competitive you want to be; do you want to push 20 and up? You should get the recommended leggo; are you just doing your weekly 15s or lower? Probably not so much

dark token
#

High keys being 25+ where sin isn't played at all

#

You can do 20s on sin running any lego really

thorn crater
#

no i mean like

#

no legendaries

#

zero

dark token
#

No legendaries good luck with finding a group

#

You need 2 to not have people leave your party instantly

thorn crater
#

so im forcved to run torghast to get those things to craft them

#

hm

#

i only have a 210 ring with celerity from 2020

dark token
#

Why tf would 4 players want to play with a 0 legendary sin rogue

#

Put yourself in their shoes

#

You think you can do high keys with that setup?

#

Prob won't get above +7

thorn crater
#

bruh im doing my own keys what im asking is

#

does it matter?

#

dmg wise?

dark token
#

If you have a 5 man premade of friends

#

It matters but not significantly

#

Maybe 10% dmg loss

#

And sin is already trash so ur bottom dps anyway

thorn crater
#

im doing outlaw atm

dark token
#

Then yes it matters

#

Cause it's like .... 30% dmg for outlaw

#

Or more

thorn crater
#

but like, invigorating is just a cd reaction and the cds are already pretty much always up

dark token
#

That's exactly why it's so strong

thorn crater
#

i see

#

but like, doing torghasta

dark token
#

You realise CD reduction gets more valuable the lower CDs you have right

#

If you are in a 5 man premade and you are getting carried don't bother

#

If you are in a 5 man premade and wanna respect your friends who are pushing +20 for fun and they aren't giga geared m+ers, get the legendaries

#

If you are pugging, get the legendaries

#

Can you do +20 in time with no legendaries sure

thorn crater
#

how many runs is it to farm the soul ash and cinders

dark token
#

What's your ilvl

#

It takes like 30 mins max man

thorn crater
#

253

#

but i have 180 trinkets

dark token
#

Do the lowest level that awards soul cinders

#

Stealth to each floor end boss

#

Vanish if u get caught

#

Max 1 min per floor

thorn crater
#

i see

#

hm

dark token
#

Run upper reaches for that

#

Let me ask you this, are you pugging and what key goal do you have

thorn crater
#

honestly, im just chilling till expansion and trying to relearn both specs

#

id like to do a 20 but im not too crazy

dark token
#

Then don't bother

#

But you said high keys

thorn crater
#

best ive done is 15

#

i thought 20 is high

#

no?

dark token
#

25 is generally high keys border

#

Let me repeat are you pugging

thorn crater
#

yes mostlyu i only have a healer friend

dark token
#

Like I said if you are, then unless you only do +2 to +4 you won't get a group with 0 Lego

#

So there u go

#

Trust me I tried with 1 lego even with a 2600 Io main people won't bother joining

#

Running my own keys

thorn crater
#

i mean people joined my 11 mechagon

#

but i get what u mean

#

ty

next edge
#

25, depending on the key

#

feels like a 20

#

We did a 26 JY the other day

#

and it was like "bro is this a 15"

#

Streets felt pretty similar

dark token
#

Haven't done keys in prepatch so idk

#

I'm sure they def got easier

subtle tundra

prepatch dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead

leaden hornet

how much dps you guys doing in M+ with prepatch

#

im only getting 15-18..dunno

pure moth
#

Ive had a few 19-20k overalls but its still behind other classes as usual

leaden hornet

ughhhh 😦

they need to just double our bleeds/extaniguate 100% uptime in dungeons or something

subtle tundra

i have done like 10k more in lower kara than in workshop for example even tho i am playing like a turd

leaden hornet
#

any nice vods/gameplay vids with prepatc

steel ridge
#

why would anyone make that content for a patch that ends in 3 weeks?

leaden hornet
#

youre right thats impossible

subtle tundra
#

its 10 times better to look for beta content since thats whats gonna matter

steel ridge
#

not impossible, just not worth the effort

leaden hornet
#

ill look around

subtle tundra
#

the gameplay actually reflects how its going to play in df

#

without legendaries/covenants and with full talent points

steel ridge
#

and relevant dungeons

subtle tundra
#

and you seen the dungeons that matter

quasi nymph
#

hey folks. how complex would you say the assassin rotation is now on a scale of 1 (being super simple frost-mage easy) to 10 (most complex wow rotation) ?

quasi nymph
#

hmm, how would u compare the 3 build relative to the new momentum DH?

#

and is assassin still the simplest rogue spec?

pure moth
#

If you really wanted to compare to momentum build, dhs rotation is the same rotation every 40 seconds a guildy said. So seems pretty boring for them and they decided not to play dh in general

quasi nymph
#

ok so momentum easier?

pure moth
#

From what they say

#

Ya

quasi nymph
#

cool, ty

pure moth
#

I wouldnt take someomes conparison of classes though. Play both, see what you like and decide.

quasi nymph
#

I don't have the beta, so trying to judge on prepatch talents which is tricky as they are missing a lot

fleet whale
#

Honestly, I think they need to add like some sort of instant damage component to IC to make it more appealing

violet jackal
#

Momentum falls in a different way of managing difficulty since your constantly on the move which could be seen as a danger in a many scenarios

next edge
#

Its hard tos cale because its pretty subjective

#

but if your question if is Assassin is a hard spec

#

I would say its pretty easy to get the basics and hang of it

#

there's room for minmax and perform much better but to get the basics its fairly straightforward

weak horizon

They’re all simple. It’s subjective like Lamb said.

next edge
#

if its about rogue, sin for sure im

quasi nymph
timid cloud
#

Just gotta fiddle around.

quasi nymph
#

and potentially so is DH

timid cloud
#

All classes are easy baseline.

#

Except maybe Fire.

#

It just comes down to experience & what you’ll find for yourself.

quasi nymph
#

well that's what both frost mages and BMs say 😉

#

and to be fair, looking at the rotations, I agree

timid cloud
#

You can do your taxes playing BM.

#

Been like that for ages.

#

Unfortunately, it’s also the only real Hunter class as well currently, since MM, which wasn’t even doing that well, just got slammy jammed.

#

Then Survival is a shadow of its former self.

#

Carried by its tier, kekw

quasi nymph
#

perhaps, frost still easier tho

next edge
#

but probably the "basics" or "doing good dmg", when it comes down to rogue

#

its easier as Sin

#

Outlaw might be a bit overwhelming at start with the rules and such to follow

#

and high APM

sour elm
#

I feel like with the new talents outlaw is some how even fastedr

#

the dreadblades window is kinda nutty

next edge
#

yeah but db is

ss finisher

or pistol shot if 6 stacks

timid cloud
#

Errrr

#

I wanted to say you might be right on that Frost thing.

#

But I actually checked something out.

sour elm
#

oh for sure; I just feel like im on cocaine when Im slamming the outlaw buttons

timid cloud
#

& I'm even more sad than normal.

next edge
#

Honestly I really like Sin for progress

#

because the slow-pace it makes smoother

timid cloud
#

This is BM

next edge
#

Outlaw sometimes is a bit overwhelming. But well.

timid cloud
#

This is Frost.

timid cloud
#

The BM list is longer, but if you look super carefully...

He casts less & does more.

With the new highest simming single target using DTB, we use amplifying poison. Do we jsut send Envenom as usual? We dont aim to get as high of stacks do we? Jw

amp poison stacks pretty quickly from what I've seen/played with - I haven't found the need to count amp stacks and time envenom off of that

why is cobrashot translated into german there

im so confused

Yeah, it was an EU log.
