@balmy condor do i do anything special with shivs and kB

drifting cloud
#

you use both for kb and hold

faint harness
#

always?

balmy condor
#

yes

dense herald
#

Save both shiv’s for kb, shiv - envenom -kb

faint harness
#

alright

balmy condor
#

you layer the shivs to last the whole time

#

every other kingsbane is a deathmarkj

faint harness
#

makes sense

#

what about sbs

#

just use whenever or

#

tea rule is for energy only?

balmy condor
#

yep yep

faint harness
#

and then the golden question, when the fuck do i exsang

#

almost puked while typing that out

timid cloud
#

After…DM, no?

dense herald
#

Before I think

balmy condor
dense herald
#

But I haven’t got my head around when to exang dm vanish

balmy condor
#

if it lines up naturally you want to exsang -> dm

faint harness
#

alright

timid cloud
#

Why before & not after, for curiosity’s sake?

faint harness
#

ER is just send on cd too i assume

dense herald
#

I think using it after actually reduced the DM time, so less time available to duplicate dots

balmy condor
balmy condor
timid cloud
#

Ah, I see…

faint harness
#

really

timid cloud
#

I’m gonna just…read my abilities some more.

faint harness
#

deathmark is a bleed

timid cloud
#

Nah. I do. Just trying to big brain it.

#

I’m going back to bed.

kind talon
#

exsang

plain cipher
#

yeah its fun

faint harness
#

i mean if the dev(s) want to do something about button bloat for assa, i would chop exsang

timid cloud
#

Yeah, I don’t feel so good Mr.Push.

#

I wish I didn’t have to push Exsang.

faint harness
#

ultimately it doesnt really matter

#

but it just feels like a whatever button to press

kind talon
#

double rupture double garrote is sick

#

in opener

#

very awesome

timid cloud
#

It feels like a button thrown into a rotation where it doesn’t matter. Like downtime in the middle of our rotation.

#

It just feels like I’m hitting Throw Glaive on a DH.

kind talon
#

as my good friend put it a talent that forces you to go against pandemic and rupture / garrote the same enemy twice is cringe

royal lantern
#

or tiny toxic blade turns poisoned knife into a cd

do we have sims anywhere? cant find em in faq or pins or are they still WIP?

Why does everyone hate exsang:(

spice spire
#

Idk man

potent topaz
spice spire
#

It’s fine

#

I’m apathetic to it

earnest remnant
#

@gusty mirage explain it to the man, why do we indeed hate it

royal lantern
#

cus it plays bad

oak sky
royal lantern
#

and is just another button that exists for no reason

oblique tangle
#

Yeah I'm neither here nor there on it.

royal lantern
#

when assa is allready becomming bloated

oblique tangle
#

Just use it in random with death mark and every time it's up after garottr+rupture reapplication ezpz simple :))

spice spire
potent topaz
oak sky
#

double rupture

#

is an abomination

oblique tangle
#

Sorry, tandem*

oblique tangle
dense herald
potent topaz
#

it would really help when Exsang just "assumes" that existing bleeds are already refreshed ones to skip this double Rupture part

royal lantern
#

sbs in st is really just "use early once, then use it somewhat as a mut replacment that hits hard"

balmy condor
drifting cosmos
#

And 1 more button

royal lantern
#

exsang is like, 45sec cd makes it line up with nothing by default, you spend more time setting up new bleeds just to instantly let them run out and set up again

#

like, you do your normal rotation, then you get cp to use rupture and garrote cus exsang is up, then you use exsang, let them run out and do it again in 10sec cus exsang made them run out

#

ENGAGING

#

setting bleeds up->exsang->set up again, do it every 45sec 🙂

drifting cosmos
#

2ez high apm gameplay

royal lantern
hardy dagger
#

the fact that exang halves your main cd is chef's kiss

dense herald
#

Yeah I’m exactly the same, especially when it was used in m+ it felt very invasive to the rotation, felt like you were using it soo often and just added another button
Plus tbh i feel like a giant green ability feels out of place for a rogue. When covenants existed sure, but now it’s just weird.

royal lantern
#

thats almost gcd locked for an energy class lol

#

+exsang litearlly kills our cd

#

so you need to use it, but NOT when your cd is up

#

hf having a brainfart once there

royal lantern
drifting cosmos
#

peepohappy it will be a dps plus for me not to use it cos I know I will fk up all the timings

royal lantern
#

espacily because they changed SOME of them

#

but like, the choices where so random

#

mindgames from priest turned from venthyr red into void stuff

#

but rogue still throwing necromancy bone spears around

dense herald
#

Hot take but I also don’t think sbs should not generate combo points, I feel like it should be a cleave ability and cleave dot and that’s it,
Would love sepsis to be more viable as it’s less invasive to the rest of sins kit

royal lantern
#

a rogue dmg ability that doesnt generate or consume cp is just wrong

#

like, the entire energy economy is based around building/spending cp

dense herald
#

Sure, but when I’m pressing a single target ability on aoe because it’s such a strong generator it feels weird

royal lantern
#

i know what you mean, trust me

dense herald
#

I just have a thing against sbs haha

#

Lots love it tho

royal lantern
#

like, i dont mind sbs, but its a bit weird in general

#

its a chose node with sepsis, when they fill 100%different roles

#

+its behind doomblade, a talent that makes mut stronger

#

so you get a better mut, and then can pick a talent that makes you use mut less often?

dense herald
royal lantern
#

its a bit weird, dunno

oblique tangle
balmy condor
#

It would still be terrible

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

It’s not the gcd

oblique tangle
#

Like that would make it way smoother

balmy condor
#

It’s the fact that the rotation is degenerate

#

No it wouldn’t

royal lantern
#

what would the gcd change lol

dense herald
#

Oh did they? Man I wish they changed sbs to an actual cool looking throwing dagger visual or something

oblique tangle
royal lantern
#

like, you still need to put up bleeds, press exsang and put up again lol

oblique tangle
#

So you could use it without having to fuckin' wait

royal lantern
#

exsang not beeing on the gcd would change nothing at all lol

balmy condor
#

Wow players love blaming gcd’s for the problems of a whole ability

#

Man I hate Deathmark but if it weren’t on the gcd it would be the best thing ever

oblique tangle
#

I'm not blaming a gcd, I personally enjoy exsang

#

But it'd be nice because it would make everything a lot more smooth

royal lantern
balmy condor
oblique tangle
balmy condor
#

Uh huh

oblique tangle
#

And it does damage

balmy condor
#

And how do you prep for it

#

Do you sync it with anything

#

Do you do anything with it

#

Or is it literally just this button is available I’m hitting it

#

lol

#

I main ass rogue and aff lock

next edge
#

Me too

#

exsang is not a dot

oblique tangle
#

Right but it plays with my dots

balmy condor
oblique tangle
#

And the only thing I dislike about it is how it's attached to the gcd because it makes it feel clunky to use for me but not any other part related to it

next edge
#

What's the problem with GCD

#

I think people is so confused about GCDs

oblique tangle
royal lantern
#

exsang is not bad, except the gcd, THATS the bad part

oblique tangle
balmy condor
#

that's the big jank

next edge
#

If Exsang wasn't on GCD i could garret at the same time I press it

oblique tangle
#

I legitimately enjoy exsang

twilit hollow
#

just remove every GCD on everything so i can animation cancel like blade and soul and get RSI

oblique tangle
balmy condor
#

interestin

royal lantern
#

garrote at 15sec and rupture at20? get cp and refresh them exsang is up in 5seconds

#

then press exsang

#

let them run out

#

and do it again

#

oh and dm is comming up soon, prepare for that one

#

dm is over? exsang up in 10sec! better prepare your next max duration rupture/garrote!

#

F U N

oblique tangle
#

Yeah, the more I get to press the angry dot buttons the better!

royal lantern
#

yeha sure, refreshing the same 2 bleeds over and over and over again, against normal pandemi rules

#

is great dot gameplay

After reading Tryan I just went Outlaw until 11.0

I don't think that was an exaggeration KEKW

royal lantern

dunno if it is 10seconds

#

perhaps its 15 or 6

royal lantern
#

cus thats no dot gameplay

gusty mirage
#

I cannot speak for the masses

royal lantern
#

its just degenerate dot refreshing without the feeling of a payoff for once

oak sky
#

like

#

theres ways of making us dot more

#

without it feeling this degen

#

that might actually be fun

spice spire
oblique tangle
oak sky
#

this is just an unintuitive, frustrating, and annoying way of making us dot more

balmy condor

😠

royal lantern
# spice spire Bless up

hey, i was just giving an actually explanation why i think its bad for once, not my usual delete exsang :c

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

But he shows us his toes

gusty mirage
#

I did a key with exsang

drifting cloud
#

why are you still a herbie

#

seems rigged

gusty mirage
#

because it lasts 2 weeks

haughty wasp
#

yo got a stupid question.
does both new posion work? the dmg reduc + attack speed slow?

drifting cloud
#

2 weeks? jesus christ

gusty mirage
#

new poison is just DR

#

choice node picks between attack speed slow or the DR poison

timid cloud
#

I’ll say it, I enjoyed Outlaw.

gusty mirage
#

right now

#

I might be reformed on exsang

haughty wasp
#

do both of them work on bosses?

timid cloud
#

While Sin reminds me more of a body of water, there’s an ebb and flow to it (due to seal fate)

gusty mirage
#

yes

#

sometimes you'll get a boss where it doesn't

#

but it works on most bosses

timid cloud
#

Outlaw reminds me of what it’s like to slam my head into my keyboard.

royal lantern
#

in the good or bad way

gusty mirage
#

like still not the biggest fan of it, but like

timid cloud
#

I still will.

gusty mirage
#

it's getting to "whatever" levels

#

SL s3 and s4 made me hate it a little less ig

timid cloud
#

Exsang is the Bleed version of Shiv, I guess….

royal lantern

more like the little brother of shiv that was always drinking glue

royal lantern

that's stupid I've never been to sweden

timid cloud
faint harness

its pretty good

is the expectation that sin will be playing blindside at 70?

unfortunately, seems like it could've been cool 😦

spice spire

Bad

balmy condor

bloodfang is a great choice for players who are interested in playing sin on hard mode

because you might as well not equip a legendary

Lmao, fair play

Master assassin decent with Indescriminate Carnage then by chance?

balmy condor

Just trying out sin M+ tbh, last time I enjoyed it was 8.3, but with the changes we have now it seems interesting again

royal lantern
#

not much changes for m+ overall tbh

#

like, gameplay wise

#

we get IC if you skill it, and you have bone spike

#

the rest is the same old "fok into dots"

chrome peak
#

Guys, anyone got a nice build for a Necrolord Assassin? ST, Cleave, Raid, idc, just something.

balmy condor
#

no

#

because necrolord assassin sucks real fucking bad

#

and it's bugged

#

so you have to spec into bone spike

#

so you can't take kingsbane

#

and then duskwalker lowkey sucks

#

because you're not stacking cooldowns on it

#

its just giga awful

chrome peak
#

oh...

That makes me sad.

super non rogue question but the healer class discords are dead

How do i show my friends hunter pet as a raid frame

royal lantern

you can activate pet frames in the standart ui i think?

#

but why would you want that

cold spear
#

im prob playing healer next expac for my 3's team

#

so i need to see his pet and heal it

Can we run amp poison and kingsbane or is the kinda dumb?

blazing totem
#

kingsbane scales with any lethal

#

and amp is better than deadly

#

so yes you can run it

ruby oyster
#

referring to pinned post "If you drop exsang (...), do so for tiny toxic, or improved poison" does the same apply for ST builds? if i dont want to play exsang?

hollow river
#

in ST

#

that might've been dslice. i can't remember exactly

#

but i think you go improved poisons if you want to drop exsang, based on the ST pin

ruby oyster
#

thats less than i was expecting, nice

hollow river
#

it amounts to a lot tbh

#

when we're talking about doing 70k dps

#

but ye it's not horrid

ruby oyster
#

sure but i would rather do 3% less than 10% less if i dont want to hate the game because of exsang

thin gate

so 3% was the dslice ye

shy acorn
#

I was looking at some old comments and saw openers with gar, snd , gar, why you would cast a 2nd gar?

#

Is it because of shrouded?

thorn crater
#

@balmy condor he might be on to something, if we are using vanish garrote pre DM why not just ambush after the SND? it should still go to max right?

balmy condor
#

yeah sure

thorn crater
#

so basically, it doenst matter 😛

balmy condor
#

you would ambush first

#

then snd gar

#

but yeah

#

who cares

#

1 gcd gained

#

ambush 1 gcd in opener

subtle tundra
#

is CT affecting you?

balmy condor
#

isn't going to change shit

thorn crater
#

inb4 the person asked cause he didnt know why you would use it back to back and i went on a sweaty minmax loop

balmy condor
#

yeah it's fine

#

its just opener optimizations like that usually are pretty much irrelevant

shy acorn
thorn crater
#

thats essentially the reason and we did do that cause it was the easiest way to have the maxed out garrote

#

but now that we might have to vanish early we could skip one

shy acorn
#

Ahh right I knew about pandemic but didn’t realise it came off up so soon after snd, thanks for the clarification 👍

marble hemlock
#

Changing/swapping one or two gcds at the beginning of a 5-6 minute fight isn't gonna affect your DPS in any meaningful way.

potent topaz
#

pretty lost with the boss opener for the beta m+ build

#

Gar -> SnD -> Gar -> Mut -> Rup -> ER -> Rup -> Exsang -> DM -> Shiv -> KB -> Env

#

where should the Van/Amb be put? really before DM?

subtle tundra
#

Idk I just vanish mid dm if they are lined up when the exsangd gar expires, probably not the most optimal but it almost never happens to have them lined up

#

Such is m+

potent topaz
#

thought so too. feels weird in my opener above to Van/Amb/Gar before DM.

subtle tundra
#

Well apparently that's the most optimal usagr

potent topaz
#

k, switch back into beta and test it a bit further

onyx wind
#

im assuming u want ur vanish to line up with ur next dm

#

and if u hold vanish until u use DM, it wont

white temple
#

Just out of curiosity, what's ER?

sturdy merlin
oak sky
#

In case you dont know what that emoji is, its the kyrian covenant ability from shadowlands

thorn crater
#

bruh its hopeless to try to test shit in prepatch

#

u're missing so much

#

u can barely practice the opener since u kinda need the kyrian to guarantee the full point rupture

white temple
#

Or you just use for 1 7cp rup and that's it?

dense herald
#

Do you even use the anima charged cb for ruptures? Wouldn’t they be better spent on envenoms?

thorn crater
#

is amp worth it to use in prepatch?

white temple
#

I think in opener you use for rup

thorn crater
#

prolly not right

#

DP should be better without dtb

hollow river
hollow river
#

check the pins

#

"Poisons should always be Amplifying if talented > Deadly > Instant. All Poisons do the same instant damage (except wound which does half as much, and should not be considered in PvE)."

thorn crater
hollow river
#

i don't see why it'd be different?

#

just depends on if talenting Amp makes you lose out on something that's obviously better

#

atm it kind of competes with 1 point in lethal dose or 1 point in improved poisons-below the 20pt line at least. so it's probably not worth

frail prism
#

How strong is Lethal Dose? Trying out some hybrid ST/AoE build for Tyranical week, worth moving those two Lethal Dose points into Thrown Precision & Crimson Tempest for a more AoE oriented Kingsbane build?

next edge
#

Compared with outlaw / sub

marble hemlock
frail prism
marble hemlock
#

youll likely play the same build in fortiifed and tyrannical

#

youre not missing much compared to the full st b uild

royal lantern
marble hemlock
#

you lose pb+amp poison to gain scent+IC

royal lantern
#

but like, outlaw has that aswell with procs and stuff

next edge
royal lantern
#

ER is just shity in general kekdog

frail prism
next edge
#

I actually think ER is a super good design

marble hemlock
#

neither

#

but people overestimate how big of a difference it makes

royal lantern
#

if you go full ST in tyranical, you should maybe re-think what you do in dungeons tbh

next edge
marble hemlock
#

typically, you wanted more AoE in tyrannical weeks (at least more burst aoe) because you did bigger trashpulls. even on tyrannical you still spend the majority of the dungeon on trash

royal lantern
#

^

frail prism
marble hemlock
#

seems counter-intuitive, but thats what ultimately happened

royal lantern
#

tyrannical doesnt mean you spend less time on trash, the majority of dungeon runs are aoe by default allready

marble hemlock
#

you gotta make up time you lose due to bosses living longer, trash hurts less, so tanks pull bigger -> dropping AoE makes you more of a liability

frail prism
#

Have onlu pushed keys up to 23-25 btw if that matters

#

Aight fair fair

marble hemlock
#

the suggested m+ build in the pins covers both st and aoe very well

next edge
#

I'm kinda excited for assa in m+

#

Will require time to get used to it

marble hemlock
#

any changes you make will not lead to a significant or even noticeable improvement in either direction

#

you might be able to drop like 5% singletarget dps for 5% aoe gain. but thats not gonna make a difference when you play the dungeon

hollow river
royal lantern
marble hemlock
#

DPS in general is overrated. most keys you deplete arent because you didnt have enough dps, but because you wiped. theres very few cases where having 5% more dps wouldve prevented those wipes.

frail prism
marble hemlock
#

wipes happen due to tanks dying, healers not keeping up with the healing demands, people not using defensives, interrupts getting missed, accidental trashpulls etc. dps doesnt affect any of those

hollow river
#

i guess i could see why because it's variance that directly impacts rotation and which globals you press and when during a fight.. but it doesn't tend to impact differences more than 1 or 2 globals here and there

next edge
#

Or pull efficiency in some cases

hollow river
#

like i remember on sylv with frost shards and hella crit i'd be extremely tilted if my last rupture globals were off when she was gonna start flying around

frail prism
#

Yeah we joke around in my group a lot about me being in the dumpster dps wise, but we all know I'm doing a lot of the cc stuff which ultimately reduces chances for those mistakes to happen

hollow river
#

in certain cases like that, it's the difference between one more envenom instead of pushing the rupture

next edge
#

I don't mind ER but I hate it now because is an extra button to press

hollow river
#

or skipping it and pushing the rupt

next edge
#

Which is really annoying right now with such a button bloat

royal lantern
#

ye dunno

#

er is really like w/e, but i would prefer without

white temple
#

Tbh I think the minigame of it isn't that nice, either you feel forced to rely on luck to hit all the cps (+committing resources to hit them) or you just hit 1/2 and lose the rest because it's not worth

onyx wind
#

much rather drop SBS than ER fun wise

royal lantern
#

i mean, chances are high that you just download a weakaura that screams USE A FINISHER NOW!!! YOU HIT A CHARGED CP anyway

#

and the entire "minigame" is gone dracthyr_kek

white temple
#

Well, 45s to hit a cp

#

Yeah, you got a point. It's w/e

#

But I'm skipping it anyways, have no more room for binds

I’m assuming we’re still in the “all stats are relatively good, but you’re going to want to index in these two more”
But don’t hold me on that one

night delta
#

okay then i'll ask again when the dust settles, thanks

spice spire
thorn crater
#

ok so i tried the opener on live, if u dont have ER u are basically starved during opener before you apply rupture and then u have to wait to do anything

#

do u rup with low CPs and then reapply rup before vanish gar?

near valley
#

I was ready to move to Assassination from Outlaw till I heard we play ER

#

Sadge

thorn crater
#

i mean its different for sin than it is for outlaw right

#

ure not so spammy so u got more time to think what u use it on

iron orchid
#

something similar at least

near valley
thorn crater
#

no i hate it too

#

i only used it on literally 2 dummy testing with sin

#

it actually feels good

#

if u remember to press it 😛

#

cause, it gives options

#

and if u dont need it for early ruptures

royal lantern
thorn crater
#

then thats fine its a free max envenom

royal lantern
#

and you dont forget

thorn crater
#

i forget to press it

royal lantern
#

oh

#

well

thorn crater
#

cause i never had it

#

remember i havent played sl

royal lantern
#

i mean

#

rogues in general never really played er

#

outlaw could use it for a tier

thorn crater
#

muscle memory on opener does not have a fuckin ER in it

royal lantern
#

but it was flag most of the time tbh

thorn crater
#

and now u have to have buttons for 2 covenant abilities not one\

#

like...

celest ruin
#

dont forget thistle tea

thorn crater
#

i mean ill just put tea on T

#

used to have vendetta there

spice spire
thorn crater
#

but i cna use shift T for DM

spice spire
#

Was wonky for us because of seal fate

thorn crater
spice spire
#

Yeah

#

And it’s awkward to try to hit

#

Better to not play the mini game

thorn crater
#

ngl it only feels useful to bother with it in the opener

#

if u dont get a crit

spice spire
#

I mean

#

If you happen to natty yejoice

#

But don’t force a garrote to hit it kinda deal

royal lantern
thorn crater
#

the issue with doing ambush SND garrote

#

is that ambush costs a lot

royal lantern
#

i stopped giving a fuck about rotation changes rn cus they change daily

spice spire
thorn crater
#

and that energy matters in the opener

thorn crater
#

so i dont see us fitting an ambush there

spice spire
#

Bad news on optimization buddy

royal lantern
spice spire
#

No man

thorn crater
#

nah i just havent played sin in 2 years

#

so i need to get back the memory of everything

#

with adding exsa in it

spice spire
#

Yeah, getting the general flow is a yes man

thorn crater
#

so,

#

u basically rup vanish garrot exsa DM correct?

spice spire
#

I’d think so, I’m not 100% sure what the optimized bit will look like. That looks fine for now though

thorn crater
#

just exsa before DM

#

and fit the shiv somewhere

royal lantern
#

waiting for df release, whisp is using robot magic and gives us an opener, i hit the dummy for 1hour and its muscle memory

thorn crater
#

like i said, im tryign ot get it back it feels so awkward to me right now :p

night iris
#

That but remove Exsang

royal lantern
#

i mean, yeha

#

delete exsang

thorn crater
#

though i did hit 90k in the opener

royal lantern
#

rework exsang

thorn crater
#

ngl

#

with 280 gear

celest ruin
#

whats the patchwerk boss named?

thorn crater
#

but then it drops

spice spire

Ok hear me out

spice spire
night iris
#

I have never used ER before

empty hinge
#

Make exsang do aoe

celest ruin
#

no for the vault of dragons or w/e its called

night iris

maybe dathea is one too idk

nvm dathea has adds, only terros*

we need to kill the boss to finish the fight

not the adds

thats true everyone should ignore adds and let healers pad

#

spice spire
#

Amen Clueless

royal lantern
night delta
#

Tbf, there are some situations where we're legit better off just tunelling boss while other people (whose job it is) deal with adds

#

like, do I really have to aoe if we have 2 ww and a destro nuke adds in 10 seconds ?

subtle kiln
royal lantern
subtle kiln
#

was I misinformed?

royal lantern
#

i really think i can go tunnel st assa with that team lol

night delta
#

damn flame patch

spice spire
night delta
#

feel like a fire mage sitting on combusts just to pop it off on adds will be very frustrated

spice spire
#

It’s fun, but you compare it to another class like monk or lock or even outlaw and realize profiles definitely matter in some cases peepoGiggles

royal lantern
#

"some" cases

#

you could just say "they do better aoe, dot aoe is really bad 99,99999%of the time"

granite widget
#

it was true before

next edge
next edge
#

We have 2 balance 1 WW 2 locks 2 mages

#

And I will do shit if I go adds

#

Only reason I would do adds is if the boss goes inmune

next edge
night delta
#

They can build a strong enough ignite to pop off in AoE without use of combust ?

uncut echo
#

Combust has like, a 30 second cooldown

night delta
#

that short, really ? seems like an awful lot of crits to get in 30 seconds

#

90 to be exact

uncut echo
#

45

spice spire
#

If the pull is big enough Aww

uncut echo
#

It cools down by itself too

#

Also, shifting power

#

Which they do take

night delta
uncut echo
#

45 crits

spice spire
#

Mages added back to the shot list

night delta
uncut echo
#

During lust, I got a 22 second combustion cooldown with 41% haste, no faeries

night delta
#

Am i out of the loop ?

granite widget
#

basically

#

if they can uh

#

pop off on a main target/boss

#

they can ignite spread anytime during bust

#

and they can still do minibusts

uncut echo
#

Your gcd is a lot less than 1 second with haste, and pi

#

You are going odf

#

And you are a prime pi target

#

I.e. 30 second bust

night delta
#

I mean i'm not questionning any of that now, I get it

#

but I don't get how 90 cdr is 45 crits

uncut echo
#

Disregard that

#

The spell itself is cooling down in conjunction with kindling

#

I meant to get the point across that on average, the spell cools down 2.5-3 seconds for every real 1 second that passes

#

Due to kindling, even more if you take shifting power

spice spire
night iris
#

Most specs have that nowadays

uncut echo
#

Also even more effective cdr now that you no longet hit flame strike

#

And pyroblast works on kindling

night iris
#

With bloodlust Frost mage still has their Icy veins when the next one is up

uncut echo
#

Yuuuuup

night iris
#

But most classes have had like a legendary or setbonus that gave cdr for their main cd

spice spire
#

Maybe all ranged players are public enemy number one NOTED

But also lowkey, the trick is to recruit rogues and turn them into the roles you want them to play Sinscheme (I’m kidding btw play what you want ash, I am glad you’re a mage tho Sinscheme )

royal lantern
#

in my experience, raidleaders have no idea about rogue, so you can just do w/e you want

royal lantern
#

like, it always is

spice spire
#

I’m a self reporter tho

royal lantern

mage do that, warrior do that, rogue knows what he is doing

“I can cloak this mech”

Then I joined a guild with Quake and have to actually be relevant PU_PepePhone

royal lantern

cba waiting 200pulls until the mage actually uses iceblock

its pretty funny when cloaking something causes the mechanic to treat it as no one soaking it

royal lantern

BUT I HAVE CUMBOST UP DURING THAT MECHANIC, I CANT DO IT!!!!!!

ya won't kill me with your participation machanic bullshit

royal lantern

you know when you try to solo the postmaster soak in streets with evasion

#

and you run out

night delta
#

go soak or go home

royal lantern

and 2 people follow

#

so you run further out

night iris

Why need to iceblock

royal lantern

and they follow

night iris

When you can just use cheat death

royal lantern

then you use evasion and they die

excited for HoV fixate with evasion at least

i mean, you can solo it with evasion

yeah that's the starter build

dense cedar

no kb smh

sullen hollow

is kb better or what

i dont see kb doing good on loggies

sturdy merlin

Kb is numerically better

dense cedar

simply enjoyable gameplay

sturdy merlin

but this build is ez to play

but its prepatch

we talk about exsang but that class tree is quite grim tbh

outer cairn
#

honestly my biggest concern is how do I platinum Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok in 2 weeks

#

lol

dense cedar
#

not that there's much choice in it

#

the entire selection of capstone choices are ass

outer cairn
#

Idk. I like how Sin feels, especially with KB. Takes me back to Legion

#

I'm enjoying playing the spec vs playing what does the most dmg

dense cedar
#

just don't really care for thistle tea or er

outer cairn
#

I don't have them currently, but also will see how things shift once DF releases and tuning and such

dense cedar
#

can't tune them to be fun for me

#

just don't like em unfortunately

subtle kiln
#

tea is fine. ER and sepsis should have been deleted from all specs.

dense cedar
#

Tea is just really boring

subtle kiln
#

when you have 11 cds, one about to be a snoozer

could be a complete passive. kekw

outer cairn

won't lie, having DM every min is nice, will suck when it goes back to 2

oblique tangle
dense cedar
#

nah IC and KB rule for assass

oblique tangle
#

Yeah class capstone felt disappointing except for SD for sub

#

But it feels like SD should have just been in the sub tree instead??

dense cedar
#

well i mean the sub it just feels like a forced route for them

#

tbh only outlaw feels like it gets a real pick n choose for class talents

oblique tangle
#

Thistle tea is obviously a no-brainer but I just sort of wish we had something more cool

uncut echo
#

Class tree shouldve been 100% utility and rogue shit

All dam shouldve come from spec

The fact that sub has to book it to shadow dance sucks turboass

Me in this channel Aww

dense cedar
#

the one thing i find super silly about the sin tree is just

#

the first point you invest

#

can be made irrelevant by getting AP

uncut echo
#

Based

#

Dtb tho

dense cedar
#

the point value would make no sense but it still feels dumb that u get ap first

spice spire
#

Sure, but at the same time. Trees ended up changing a lot along with some tuning

#

So it wasn’t originally designed to be nullified by one point

#

But we’re in crunch time

dense cedar
#

fair enough

copper hazel
#

the next proper tree changes will probably be 10.1

spice spire
#

And I assume they’re more focused on the end game than the leveling aspect.

Super fair point tho

#

It is a feels bad

copper hazel
#

and even then, it wont be much i would imagine

#

yeh theres no way levelling was taken into consideration much with the trees

subtle tundra
#

i mean, even if you have amp talented you can play deadly

dense cedar
#

well you wouldn't do that though

#

except i guess

#

quick swapping around in a dungeon

subtle tundra
#

yes i dont see the problem with that

dense cedar
#

still seems silly all the same

copper hazel
#

its just adapting to the situation in front of you

#

and takes mere seconds

#

it just kinda interrupts that mental state people go into in m+

dense cedar
#

probably isn't very efficient either

uncut echo
#

Rogue was the first released class tree, and didn't get a fundamental overhaul

dense cedar
#

that's a lot of stopping ur damage

uncut echo
#

We'll see some realignments in a .0.5 or a .1 patch

copper hazel
#

i mean, youre not doing this mid packs, this is inbetween

dense cedar
#

they should actually

#

add an instant swap trait

#

that's some cursed gameplay

uncut echo
#

It's not even that cursed

copper hazel
#

lets be real, how many times are we legitimately going to be switching

uncut echo
#

Just don't play amp if that's your concern

dense cedar
#

i just think the tree design is dumb

#

amp itself is neat

royal lantern
#

me: pepehands

spice spire
#

If you want something truly truly cursed just let @subtle tundra show you a build or two

royal lantern
#

sees the channel->remind myself that i have to play exsang->day ruined

spice spire
#

Then you’ll realize, there are unspoken horrors of this world

guess the simple change they'd make is just make deadly spec baseline and switch VM to be the first unlock

evoker in general is a walking meme with what blizzard wants from them, and what they actually are

we give them low range, but mobility!!!(mage has way more mobility, evoker needs to stand still and channel allot)

we give them a new mechanic that also dictates your healing!(the mechanic makes them disc priest levels of bad for catchup healing+having 33%less coverage means they cant heal a spread out raid)
