I didn't really see it as a taunt
there's a ton of joking here
and that's how I viewed it
and how I hope merk did as well
you try to see the good in people and i appreciate that about you
Dont lie tisu you enjoy outlaw
!8 did Tisu do something wrong
True
push did u see dms
apparently deleted the bot @gusty kestrel

gg
we having a legit check dms moment? 
@spice spire this really is OT 2.0
unbeatable man
how long did it take in pokemon to be world champion
maybe not that OT 
maybe it takes the same time for exsang
don't
now I can play sin in prepatch :^)
sure did
if you'd like I can mute you
no no, I insist
😐

Hater
I got a question idk if its something thats been answered. Shrouded suffucation gives 3 combo points per garrote in stealth which i originally thought was just 1, however with improved garrote it can be used 3 times. Because of this you can gain up to 9 combo points. am i supposed to neglect the gained combo points and just put up 3 imp garrotes or
Yeah I'm a little confused on how that's taunting either
Just better to drop
You should lose instead, it's more fun that way 🙃
Sorry @strange python that was @oblique tangle - for aoe, you’d want to spread your bleeds as much as possible, for st it’s a bit different but hopefully that answers at least part of it 
Nah thirst-posting is where I draw the line - unless you’re thirsting for one of the hot cfs or shadowblades. Then it’s just a normal Tuesday 
^ I assume Carnage is worth for AoE so you can put those garrotes on a fuckload of mobs outright but otherwise SS sounds pretty useful like he was saying
Probably, if you have 3 targets who need Gar.
how can i know my actual dps on the target dummy with kingsbane if i'm not in execute ever...
smacking this target dummy but not sure exactly how to know how well i'm doing
you're doing great keep it up :)
haha aww
although i would like hard, quantifiable data to know how hard i'm sucking
you can sim execute patchwerk if youd like
and then sim normal patchwerk
the % more of execute damage apply to your target dummy numbers
you can just sim the boss never going below 35% health
thats how much ud do in execute on a target dummy
oo interesting
just ignore him, blades will take care of it
Ping cfs too pls specifically for this dude
He’s been at it for four days
Ye
It won’t be a random thing. It’s literally weirdo that won’t take an l
@spice spire @balmy condor @faint harness
Ty
im @subtle tundra now.
Sorry it took so long
guy lying threw his teeth its a bot, he was literally copy pasting, bot would do it alot faster im pretty sure
he typed to ahri and I, hes manually doing it
uwuplead
Some guitar player
@gusty kestrel
or well maybe the spam is a bot, but everything before it is manually done probs
He’s doing both
he renames to fuu and spams bad words
@gusty kestrel check dms 

Man’s popping evasion with the filter ig
what even started it, I missed that part
Heated discussion in outlaw
he was being a dick in outlaw and guy told him to chill and he didnt multiple times
then fuu got involved
He was rude to someone in outlaw, got muted after harassing someone in dms. Then fuu explained why, and he continued to harass him so he got banned. And now this 
then 
poor guy probably has some shit going on in his real life

Prolly just stupid
I was close to banning you before the spam started
wait what
Random comment??
thats a lie u cant even ban people!!!!
💀
Yeah

CF's have ban powers
There’s a line between something going on, and what the fuck
for now
ban all andrews
I'm just trying to play rogue better please :C
off topic will die
Ban this flok guy
me and esra are off topic
sorry to hear that :C
no
for now?
whispir i played exsang

Bound
90% of the time i just threw it, esp on aoe - no thought - just mashed lol
does lethal dose get double the bonus during Deathmark or does it only work per unique bleed/lethal poison?
ie does it grant +4% for having garrote twice
does that lessen the value of exsanguinate? would you not want to have the full 16 seconds of Lethal Dose value if exsanguinate halves the duration of Deathmark?
or is just front loading all the damage more worth it
You should exsang before the deathmark, so it speeds up the garrote and rupture, but the deathmark is full-length
you exsang before deathmark
not that we actually give a shit about syncing exsang anyway

just slam it
stupid cooldown
i see, that makes more sense, thank you
exsang should instantly kill the boss imo
exsang and hearthstone, the boss is already dead
exsang should instantly kill me so I don't have to play with it
Dm yourself
the inverse cheat death
cheat life

cheat death should sacrifice a party member to activate
A random member
only party tho, not across raid
can hide all the important people in seperate parties
unfortunate for m+ tho
Cheat Death should give me a mastery boost when it procs

every cooldown should grant +12% mastery, even defensives
for like 45 seconds
this would allow for some very interesting gearing
As long as S&D is up, I think we should gain a haste boost
This would allow for my poisons to tick faster
So that I may top dps meters
having a proper cringe competition
no one can beat u telling people to play exsang, whispyr 
yeh mb
i looked in sub channel so its hard to actually complain about exsang tbh
Why is it wrong to want Kidney to work on bosses?
it would break the game
That's not my probleem
unless u just mean internal bleeding lol
Cut to the Chase should put up SnD if it isn't already up
!wa

hmm any good updated poison reminder that works with dtb
would you prefer for us to go back to having to hard cast it?
cuz uh, that was pretty awful
we haven’t had this many coloured names showing in this ch for a while
are we esang kings yet whispyr?
i have a goood feeling about esang, perhaps bis feeling
👀
exsang good
exsang has been good for a while
You're a bit late to the party, but welcome. :-)
me neither
especially with cut to the chase
feedback loop with proper play & snd uptime
it's essentially free damage
mentioning cut to the chase
fucking OL snd timers are so funny
kinda happy Cut isn't that efficient
oh neat
it might as well be
fight design allows for a potential drop off
that never happens
sure it does
want to see what
painsmith?
balls
lol
Not in intermission 1 buddy
OL SnD has like a 50% chance to last longer than their poisons
50% is a joke % of course
you don't see a difference between snd stacking up to 2+ minutes with grand melee and cttc being hard capped?

is sbs bugged?
yea
it keeps removing the dot
even if cttc elimates refreshing most most of the time
i do think its a healthier design than GM
but like that's kinda just OL things
i dont see a difference between over 90% of the time having snd up a whole fight and always having snd up a whole fight
that said grand melee needs to change

I personally don't care either way. Cttc, passive or non-existant
Doesn't change my playstyle at all at the ens of the day
90% of the time due to gameplay vs 20 minutes of SnD or base duration is pretty bad imo
Just makes big number bigger
do you think outlaw doesn't have to play the game to get snd uptime for grand melee
generally speaking grand melee is just useless
and its like
always gonna be the worst rtb buff as it stands
Buried Treasure not that much better lol
true enough
think im pulling the convo too far away from channel purpose so im not gonna continue
Yellow channel can have their gambling fun
you should see some of the other stuff that finds its way in here
this is better than like 90% of it
at least its wow related

Sorry guys, I know this kind of question is generally frowned upon but I am really in a dilemma. Me and myfriend are locked in for Rogue in Dragonflight Mythic plus. He is going Outlaw and I want to cover more of a Single Target Aspect of the dungeons (tyrannical bosses etc.) By talent structure, which spec seems to have the arsenal to dish out ST Damage so far Assa or Sub? (I am not looking for to top the meter)
like from a purely ST perspective? as of right now, assassination is looking like the play for pure ST
Thank you very much, appreciated.

super close, some sims from today but them reeeeaaaaallll close
I wouldnt count on that 1 dance build to actually be good in practice
The HO seems more consistent imo
Rather than the dance
Not falling for that bait

Gm boys 🥰
gm at 12pm 

👋🏻
It's 6am here!
Why's that?
bc im true despair at 6am
Why 
like dont talk to me for an hour so i can wake up
Way too early


If only you knew 
I lowkey love monday
if i like a day or not heavily depends on the lessons i have on said day
Are you a sociopath?
thursday is the best day legit afk the whole day
but dont let the early hour hate disturb your morning i hope everyone from na has a nice day 
What do you do Blood?
im attending a business school
I'm eating pasta and watching stranger things while getting paid
Gotcha!
Monday is fine, there is only a few people at the office, it's a peaceful place
Since how many years ?
im in my graduation year rn
every day is okay as long as people leave me alone for like an hour after i get up thats why im in school like 45 minutes before first lesson 
Not a morning person huh?
Bruh
I dont miss the slump

esp with beta up
bc eu kinda dies at some point and then na wakes up and i can perma do keys
Monday must be hard for you man i understand why you're grumpy 
@spice spire just wondering 22-26 k dps single target on raid bosses on retail with 291 ilvl with these how are you peeps performing dont be cocky just be honnest plz thx
It’s fine damage.
I wouldn’t look too hard at raid dps due to affixes
yeah its rough but after like an hour or sth im ready to go for the whole day
Because if you’re entire group is pumping? You’re inflated, If not you’re normalized and your parse looks worse
but having an exam first lesson is pure cringe for me 
I’m inflated? Okay keep going I’m interested
but on dummy cant test proprely the new poisen dusnt go off the dummy
Brethren?
Inb4 dick pump


Lmfao i fucking loce that emote
breaking the rules
Nah only the one sense
Why don't you just borrow your fiancee
Colorblind (that’s not how colorblindness works but it’s the joke)

AM I WRONG?

I can’t break the vow homie!
Or else Johnny sinns will come for me! He’s like the krampus of NNN
IT'S A DUMB MEME, don't ruin your prostate health over a meme
(If you think I’m serious, I’m sorry)
Lmao
assa channel just became a catalyst for
people i see
Bro idk why but I stg every monday at 5:30 some bitch tokes the women's restroom up at work
well allot of woman dont wanne be pregnant during the summer other story same meme
Yes man 
Sometimes you don’t always get the choice 
I took that an ENTIRELY different way LOL
you tell here that sorry miss planned ?
Yeah I was born in July when mom had PCOS, so sometimes mistakes really do happen
Unreal
indeed
Brother, not everyone uses protection! Source: my fucking work
My wife is dealing with PCOS. It's a fucking emotional nightmare
Source: me
Though I can see now why that looks awful
Real
define PCOS @spice spire
Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Google it it’s horrible
People colored or something
@balmy condor is there any viable way to avoid skilling into ER in 10.0 ?
Tl;dr @woeful wigeon irregular ovulation due to hormonal imbalance
No

It’s hell on your body
DANCE LUL
Er is so much better than dance
I remember when whispyr would dance with me :/
Awwww :)
er is omega fine to play
I danced with oxi in nathria
I know
so playing without exsang = ~-3% and without ER ~ -10%?
And I’ve never forgiven you

BExsang is -1.2% before user error
Nothing wrong with ER
I was about to say
Well per your original sims
Ugh
i feel like it kinda sucks that 5 CP Envenom doesnt provide a 100% Alacrity proc
Understandable
Dude this alacrity uptime shit
I don’t understand
Are you guys tracking alacrity
What is wrong with you clowns
Stop staring at passive buffs you don’t play around
Yes i do so i can get angry when it doesn’t refresh
Are you sick in the head
Yes man, I track alacrity + winds of winter + amplifying

yes actually it makes me sick

I track my aa speed
using 5 globals to get 5 stacks
So true bestie
warcraftlog uptime
That one matters infinitely more

I know, I kid
That’s mental terrorism brethren
I have a live log on a second monitor filtered to alacrity uptime and when I see the alacrity buff down I blame it for parsing green
Cursed timeline
5% haste is unreal value you wouldn’t get it
Most sane assa gamer
IT MATTERS
"i could have gotten a r1" 
Real
I totally never let it fall off 
so mgiht aswell extend it
Yeah pog dude
wait u guys actually hit parses better than green?
cries in grey
And all that gain is gone
Homie chill
Get bent and buttered you bread roll looking bitch
back then winds of winter also was a thing
They're already dead
Buddy say less
Mood tbh
I hate alacrity uptime farmers
Most degenerate players
Thank god alacrity isn’t 100%
Just to spite you clowns
Serves you right


whispyr needs to change his name to alacrity hater
I can control you through alacrity farming
A lot of people here know his true name
It’s either this or stat scaling
Is it cute
Those are my two triggers
Yeah it’s yerman
where are my stat weights 
I need pawn to tell me if this is an upgrade
Scales at End Game
And with dracthyr on the rise
Wait, you can track buffs and debuffs in wow?
There’s more scaling 
I was eating a burger and a coke while raiding to know when it was time to refresh

Me and the gang taking notes on how to piss of Whispyr
I don’t think it actually pisses him off. Just annoys him, very few things actually piss him off from what I can see 
CT sims maybe ?
I'm unbanned

ask him if poison bomb should have a 100% proc chance so its not rng
I mean it should
I know your name

I know the reason why dr disrespect was banned
Its ok i self doxxed on like day 3 of "contributing" here and got told to kms

List of people I hate in a semi-ordered list:
- Stats matter bozos claiming they’re missing 2% gear haste and its fucking them over
- Alacrity cringelords trying to maintain relevancy in intermissions when their damage doesn’t matter anyway and they maybe save 5 seconds of ramp on a trash buff
- “I read the pins but I’m gonna ask a question that’s in bold in the pins”
- Gets question answered -> I don’t believe you -> reasoning explained -> isn’t this terrible thing better? -> it’s not -> I don’t believe you THEN STOP FUCKING ASKING ME IF YOU ARENT GONNA BELIEVE ME
- Any bis? Bis trinket? Whats bis enchant? Bis gem? Bis crafted gear? Bis body pillow? Bis my mom never loved me? Bis I’m incapable of any reasonable thought above the level of a third grader and am completely clueless on how to sim myself or read a guide or have any concept of why bis is a terrible metric or do anything please help?
pin it
What the fuck
pin it and put it in the faq to warn people
this is a good copy pasta for oxi to TTS in your stream
Yeeeee when someone was like "UR NAMES AHRI LIKE THE LEAGUE CHAMP HAHA" I got a few dms lmao
Alacrity is good because haste matters is alacrity good btw didnt read pins also do we go a haste stat stick or does alacriry make it dr @balmy condor pls answer
Where do the “is x good.” Minutes after notes are posted fall?
They’re number 6
I read that list as a call to action pepelaugh
I'm number 7
Well considering that was slightly my fault, I’m really sorry to hear that.
Legitimately awful stuff 
3 minutes after wowhead datamined buffs “HEY CAN YOU TELL ME IF WE PLAY XYZ”
No I can’t

Sooooo carnage is good now at 1 minute
Is sin playable?!
there is without a doubt a way to incorporate ALL of these into a single question I'm sure...
But do we play dance+ MA??!!
Whispyr do you go over a small how to in on stream to do this stuff?
That one needs to happen
How to what
That would be cool yes
Why can’t you hold a stable relationship for more than a year, is it cause you can’t love yourself so you push them away?
Ayo?


emotional damage
Hard in the paint
Fiesty Whispyr
I have a thing for that but yes I do it on stream sometimes when people ask
out for blood
Momento

That's cool! I'd definitely be interested, cozying up with a hot cocoa getting all learnt and shit
point 4 applys here.. i dont believe you
plz explain
you can gauge how much whisypr hates a question based on how harsh he replies 
This is super half assed
Don’t ask me anything
I wrote it at 5am
omg will this make me hot?
will this make assa good 
And put on the cat ear headset
damn i like my sleep though
Ok maybe it does make you hot
If you can find playable gains that I haven’t, yes
Ambush opener 
I had a CT line that had a variable refresh time depending on target count that also varied based on amp poison stacks and poison bomb and it was super not human
So I scrapped it
bis list
was it a gain tho
Cause no one is gonna say “I’m in 5 target so that’s 2+1.3x5 and amp is at 11 so I envenom for poison bomb but only if I have 25 energy per second + 2 per target is 10 is 35
Pulls done
1.2%
wait you arent doing that on every pull
already found a gain then 
yeah hey, idk about you guys but I do that kind of stuff every 3rd pull with my 6head
It has to be reasonable for a human
just play outlaw in m+? xD
Like it’s okay to play a little complicated if it’s technically possible
But some stuff is just insane
Like the sim reacting instantly to proccing a shadow tech into an animacharge cp 25 milliseconds before the gcd hits and swapping to eviscerate
Whispyr IRL
pretty sure most people just be like, envenom into poison pomb go brrr

Oh man that’s old
he had that screenshot ready to go
Red Cev, green whispyr
just waiting to use it
back when things were good and crypto wasnt a thing
1000+ Rh screenshots 
You underestimate his resourcefulness
we're almost back there, we good

Quake is the ravenholdt historian
The only things I remember about riverfang is he rank 1’d a fight and ego’d out of his mind
AYY I KNOW THAT OLD ICON
And then had a meltdown in OT about how he’s got the launch codes to nuclear submarines or something
And zephyr was like who?
Did riverfang really get THE MAN’d?
atleast outlaws were not mentioned
Assassination gets some real clowns when it’s not good
Outlaw players are the homies
Hate the spec not the player
@balmy condor just a question about sec stats if did you already check these out or not for example you said amp stack on mastery if we play bts are we going to go for mastery of crit ? with haste
thats hard to believe 
outlaws are too busy pressing glowing buttons and checking their energy values to be in here causing problems
they do that between keys
ive heard some different things on stream

Crit > mast >> haste >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
vers
Man hates what he can’t do
Delete the vods
Stop the count!
this make it clear tyvm
re-count - there was invalid votes
if we assumed that priority damage is for some reason omega important, is that a niche assa has over say outlaw or is it still not particularly noticable?
the voting machines were tampered with 💯
Sure I guess it’s better
watching that one raidtesting where he played outlaw was fun tho
man I'm still so happy to see kingsbane back
just feel like pack design at the moment has one major mechanic that is sometimes non kickable and happens in waves, so have been thinking about prio damage a bit more lately
It’s not like a warlock pressing chaos bolt or an arcane mage hitting a 700k crit
But it’s something
ya was arcane that made me think of it
All the rogue specs are kinda prio bots honestly
Sub funnels better
Sin just bursts
sin does feel good, ass too
Outlaw slashy stuff
Hol up
edit to the edit 
Vers best stat gives dr
we all just stab stuff in different flavours
sub funnel is a thing 
Did he stutter
Also gives bd
Imma stack vers for prog 
so..DH?
Outlaw

Outlaw crit mastery yejoice
i think vers is still way to good
Even if exanguinate is lame this assa itteration is the best i have ever played
but crit and mastery are both solid options now
bruh main gauche is the truth right now

most cursed outlaw timeline
Mastery truthers ahead of their time
Where's my glyph to change main gauche to backhanding
I wanna slap the fuck outta some dragons
main gauche "you pull a leather glove out of your pocket to sla..."
Idk where’s your glyph to get a decent screen name
Bros got parentheses in his name
My guy doing some PEMDAS
Whispyr (Scales with decibels)
There we go
little on the nose, but I'll pay that
So many active spells in the ST builds 🤮
and exsang best on both st and m+, guess sin is dead for me
bye
why many ppl dont like exsang.. playstyle so bad?
int not very intuitive but i like it
does it change rotation? its not displayed on wowhead
Now it’s not counterintuitive
is outlaw deleted yet? havent checked today...
It’s just a random button you press on cd
Stop hating 
i mean it requires you to refresh to max pandemic before using it
even if its not in pandemic range
I mean sure, but that’s not a GIGA thing. It’s not like everything at max + line up with CDs + snapshot
best ST build is adding 6 keybinds 🤮
its better than mutilate envenom gameplay
ye, now we instead have 200buttons you press on cd.....big change i gues?
Pretty sure DTB still ends up within margin of error
If you’re that worried
About keybinds
still 5 more keybinds then
you do press on cd, yea, but you have to do exsang prep , shiv management sbs if there's additional targets, er cp hitting.
i think its a lot of depth added
thistle tea, kyrian and necro cov, blindside adds ambush outside of stealth
You’ve added 2 keybinds
You’re dropping one covenant ability, picking two up
Outside of that it’s legit tea
i know what you mean, but lets not act as if shiv suddenly has big deepth around it lol, same with exsang, its just "5sec before exsangn is up, you do mut mut Rupture garrote"
its a lot of small things
added its a lot
idk why thats a problem
It should have been already, we used it for two patches
played sub since sepulcher
ye but thats no deepth lol, you just play it like sdance for sub:use it to prevent overcapping, have max charges for the cd ability, aka kingsbane
Youre losing 2 covenant abilities, even
That wasn’t one of the two patches we did it on
One for DPS and one for Utility
True!
I mean tea is +1
utility cov wasn't on a rotation keybind tho
just gota work out the best thing to bind tea to is all
to the tea bind
blindside proc should just change your mut keybind to ambush imo

are we... becoming outlaw?
what's the point of getting procs if you don't have to react
and press the same key instead
does no dmg AND costs Energy, actually a troll talent tbh 
but yeah a decent m+ build will include a bunch more buttons now, between gouge, tea, ER, kingsbane and IC
we lose 2 hotkeys but gained 5
why not?
you dont need tea in m+, 2nd point of lethality is extremely close to it
You might want to Mut and then ambush to avoid overcapping energy?
You might be able to just macro it if you’re that worried
No, every mut is a chance for another bs proc
Better to full send 95% of the time
wasnt it like 7% or did that change again
It was 1.2% before the buffs
Unsure what it is now
Had to miss a large part of the sim stream 
6% is to much to not play it 🤷♂️
yeah i heard 6% as well.
That was with a different build as well. But yeah it's 6%+.
Buffs big. It’s still an easy button to fit in 
Guess I gotta check how havoc looks
Weak
Is it possible to macro Mut and Ambush to the same key? As in when the ambush procs it shows in place of Mut.
Not really, there's some gimmicky ways to do it but it's not worth the hassle
Thank you
I don't see Exsanguinate chosen on WoWhead guide. (new to assa)
wowhead is prepatch
Wowhead gives you an easy build
prepatch is also made for testing other stuff so feel free to use it 😛
Alright
Havoc was shit, so I'm fucked this xpac 🙃
Havoc is fine
Momentum 🤮
Is there any public sims of our three specs in df raid?
havoc is just one of the strongest rn
Morning sinners
There will be. Still waiting on tuning to finish.
Loosely sin is best St, while outlaw will be best in cleave due to its ease + more front loaded dam.
This could change any minute
GM mister die slow
Got to try sin on some fights this weekend and i must say it doest feel pretty nice
Was talking about build not numbers
On beta?
our demon hunters said its way better than SL
I think death mark should automatically trigger a free exsang without putting it on cd
thats basically what it does
You have a fair point
Death mark should work with every single bleed instead then
Sbs, internal and doomblade?
Especially doomblade
Doomblade is kinda piss dam tho, but I get what you're saying
We’ve lived that reality before
It’ll never work with sbs ever lol
Yeah it closed the game for you
Last time it did, we crashed the ptr server
lmao
Because it’d infinitely speed it up
And you could stack it over and over and over again
9.0.5 beta was magical

All it took was a few rogues and some target dummies
But I think they kinda figured it out with the 4pc
Lmaoooo
kinda sucks how lots of classes how their tier sets in talents trees while we didnt i liked the new playstyle
I mean we kinda do, it’s exsanguinate
All we’re missing from the tier set is the 2pc
its not the same tho
Close enough
you didnt do that degen shit with it
Kind of 
I wish the 2piece was a talent
Exsang will always encourage degen shit, don’t you worry
Same 
Imagine instead of flying daggers we got the 2pc

imagine instead of exsang we got a good talent or a reworked exsang
I'ma run Exsanguinate 
You and everyone else brother
Hi dad
God
2pc would've made me shake in delight
And then I will never press it 
I played it in a key, it was kinda whatever
This mf hates Exsang more than everyone combined
Love you oxi dont ban me
Neat prio damage
That's right, I'm a clicker 
Unreal rizz
Less annoying in keys tbh
But you have to set it up anyways right
Cause you still have other bleeds for energy regen
Legit question (non refuting) why? It was a pretty negligible passive that felt, mediocre at best? To me anyway, always love to hear opposing thoughts 
Cause it’s more impactful than a shitty fok pvp talent
Ic + that
Plus gives shiv more value in aoe
I have to say that I still need practise
but fitting Exsang into opener is still weird to me
Like getting used to it
2pc was bad design
How was it bad design
Nobody cared cause nobody played assa in m+ and soothe spec was meta already
Pure luck
If the 2pc was in s2 meta it would've been awful
Having a utility button also be a damage button is a pretty big design flaw already IMO.
Not on anyone to fix it, just separating tb and shiv was rough
Making shiv a utility button was the bad design
Yeah
Not the 2pc
Replace shiv with toxic blade
should make shiv just utility since they bring back KB as a talent
Yes
If we still had toxic blade and shiv was just a utility button, then your problems with the 2pc dissipates immediately
The problem was shiv came back and they gave us a rank 2 for a vital piece of our rotation
And also made it utility
ty papa Ion
Yeah I think that’s his point, don’t think there’s much beyond shivving = damage++, bad design. 2pc designed around utility > more damage makes it worse design
tbf, i still think its funny
people begged for toxic blade to become baseline, and blizzard went full monkeys paw: "its baseline now, as shiv, and at the same time we give shiv soothe utility 🙈 "
Separate button? Fine
2pc wasn’t designed around utility, shiv is a damage button for assassination and was before the 2pc existed
Yeah which is bad design.
Adding more damage necessity makes it even worse
Not really
It adds value to sacrificing the utility you get from it
How is that “even worse”?
You were sacrificing the utility anyway
The ship had sailed by then. It was bad design.
Because before i could hold shiv for a soothe and not feel like complete garbage.
Post 2p, it feels infinitely worse
And if you weren’t; you were inting your damage
two different philosophies I guess
if you're holding shiv for utility purposes, which is a button you pressed on CD even in aoe, why does it matter that you're missing out on the extra damage
like at that point, it's clear your entire position is the utility > my damage
so who gives a fuck if you didn't get full value out of the 2pc
because damage wasn't your priority to begin with
Yeah, when the utility was necessary for the tank to survive it’s fairly important. I’m not saying it’s degrees different, I’m saying by putting more damage on, you’re continuing the trend of poor design, which in turn makes it worse design
so it goes back to the original "bad design" being shiv replacing toxic blade
the 2pc was a great bonus
