Dungeonslice Comparisons for the IC buff
Before: 75.4k https://mimiron.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kNkCUXjbswwE77EJsgdyFd
After: 77.0k https://mimiron.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2X51Lg3DtF9gVWVXRe6FUK

2% buff in total :)

Does this make DTB bad? No but it wasn't the best before either, check the comparisons.

How does this change the rotation? You bleed less

insert really nuanced dtb vs carnage vs kingsbane solo capstone question here I'm glad you asked. The issue is, kingsbane sucks cause it's 0 aoe, carnage sucks cause it's 0 single target, and DTB is okay but not great at either. Reducing the cooldown on IC doesn't actually change any of those trade-offs, so none of the viability has changed either. It does shift us further to double capstone gaming though.

It doesn't sync anymore how do I play the game now? Use it at the start of packs from stealth. Mostly the same thing as before. If you want to sync with, that's a decision that you should make depending on the pull, if you need the silence, etc. I don't have an answer for every situation you will ever run into. When in doubt, ook it out, slam it on cooldown

IS SIN VIABLE IN KEYS NOW TELL ME IS IT OUTLAW DO WE PLAY SIN CAN WE PLAY SIN? SIN META? SIN M+? NO OUTLAW? CAN IT COMPETE? IS IT VIABLE?
It's really good, viability depends on the meta but it's competitive atm. Also you don't do keys where you need to care about the difference stop pretending like it. If you did do keys at that level, you wouldn't pop up like a gopher every time sin got m+ buffs asking this

balmy condor

what was the perceived un-smooth-ness from 1min

Now it's desynced from deathmark sadge

balmy condor
#

if you dont mind me asking

sharp falcon
#

M+ pacing, mostly

balmy condor
#

I see

sharp falcon
#

the "why am i always 10sec away" itch was really really common

sharp falcon
#

I suppose you could make that assessment about anything really, but for now it's singularly carrying the weight of "dots matter in aoe too" gameplay. In some far-future world I could imagine a healthy way to spread that concept across the whole kit, or a wider range of talents that support that theme and have good gameplay pacing. I think this is about maxed out for IC and leaning into it any more heavily will start to feel warped (if not already, even if only slightly)

#

Regardless, I'm very interested to see how it goes

versed mica
#

Mfw I started dialogue between Whispyr and Realz pepe_chad

slim hamlet
#

x is typing... for a couple of months at a time

balmy condor
#

and in that regard, this definitely hits the target. I think realistically, you would just end up holding it at the end of the pack for the next one and it'll be fine.

The issue I have with fiddling with carnage cooldown though is the reason why carnage "sucks" for a lack of a better word, is that it provides no single target, and the balance of that is the aoe is good. That's why we take both kingsbane and IC currently to sort of balance the two out. But lowering the cooldown just ends up making it feel a little hollow because you end up giving up a lot of the multi-dotting gameplay for "I have a button that will do it instantly, and I have it all the time". On paper, you can ER -> carnage -> rupture, and that rupture lasts 32 seconds on a 45 second cooldown

#

and that in my opinion is a little ridiculous. If the AoE was weak (I think it's fine for the record), I think it should've gotten changed in some other way rather than just cranking the uptime

#

pacing wise the choice makes sense but I get the impression it should've probably stayed at 1:30 to begin with if you wanted a 45 second timer

candid crypt
#

hi people

balmy condor
#

hello linux penguin

candid geyser
#

Idk based on dungeons I’ve done - I think I prefer shorter cd versus 1.5 min and stronger buff or something. Makes sin feel smooth throughout aoe

candid crypt
#

vendetta had no global CD but deathmark has it

balmy condor
#

you're correct

candid crypt
#

why 😦

#

i cant make macros 😦 beucase of it

balmy condor
#

because deathmark is crazy strong

versed mica
#

Bc it puts a dot on it

slim hamlet
#

it does something insta

balmy condor
#

also hot take, you shouldn't be able to macro your cooldowns

midnight mist
#

yo realz you see that? you broke the penguin macro

balmy condor
#

they're your most important buttons

you should feel like you need to control them

that's the whole point of a cooldown

Or something

#

I tried

dense herald
#

so i feel like exang and kingsbane tend to overlap quite alot in single target gameplay, if both are up, is the play to refresh dots into exang - and then start your kingsbane window even though youll have to refresh dots again mid window? i assume you wouldnt hold kingsbane so you get a clean window? feels like im playing wrong by not just spamming envenoms during the windows

The next complaint after exsang is a philosophical debate about the design choices of the spec, how all the cooldowns are supposed to fit together, and then coming to an academic disagreeing on what each individual values in the class

subtle kiln
balmy condor
#

But I think the dance column is just problematic

#

The entire column down

subtle kiln
#

it is

balmy condor
#

Which is a bigger issue imo

deft flicker
#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

Talent for talent though cold blood after exsang for sure

subtle kiln
#

edge of night would have been a better capstone on sub side of general

#

dance just been a problem from the start

#

and idk how you fix without removing

oak sky
#

low key im not sure that imp ambush was a good decision

#

kinda janky

deft flicker
#

All 3 specs use ambush to some extent, so that kinda fits (despite being boring)

oak sky
#

it makes finisher rules real weird

uncut echo
#

i just woke up, what happened to IC

full sky
#

do you guys ever have energy problems?

uncut echo
#

Sin plays slow

deft flicker
uncut echo
#

oh, I think I like that as a band-aid fix

spice spire
subtle kiln
oak sky
#

i mean

#

its strong and functional

#

but i think it has a lot of potential to fuck with finisher rules

#

which is like

#

janky

subtle kiln
#

how do?

oak sky
#

like

subtle kiln
#

for sub it strike

oak sky
#

you can get 5cp on strike for sub

subtle kiln
#

for outlaw it’s a builder

low flint
#

-15 sec on AOE DOTs

oak sky
#

you can get 4 for sin

low flint
#

feels like that's a huge buff

subtle kiln
#

and?

oak sky
#

so do you finish at -2

#

or waste cp

subtle kiln
#

depends if you’re in dance or not

#

it’s just new rulesets

oak sky
#

like yeah numbers have the answer

#

of course

subtle kiln
#

anything knew is generally awkward at first

oak sky
#

but like sin with no deeper ends up with a 3cp finisher

#

💀

#

luckily we play deeper

#

so

#

meh

#

its mostly fine

#

but just feels a little weird

subtle kiln
#

in a month it won’t

#

you’ll just do it and be whatever

#

you’ve got enough cp options to mess with if you really want to finish -1 as assa with sbs

oak sky
#

we arent playing it anywys

#

anyways

subtle kiln
#

aren’t playing what?

fossil pagoda
#

new to assa, do we still use envenom during kingsbane in aoe?

oak sky
balmy condor
#

if you want to max that kingsbane, sure

dense herald
#

Those changes aiming to reduce aoe after 8 targets is only gonna benefit assass and outlaw right? Gonna bring down the giga aoe specs and not really change our aoe power?

balmy condor
#

if you're in a giga pull and trying to slam aoe and crank big aoe

#

then probably not

fossil pagoda
#

so just regular aoe priorities unless i have a prio target, just slam kingsbane for extra dmg?

balmy condor
#

yep

oak sky
balmy condor
#

you just want to drop kingsbane down onto something every minute

#

if that something is important, you should aim to pump the kingsbane

oak sky
#

what if the last hit of kingsbane blew up

fossil pagoda
#

alright ty

oak sky
#

tell me that was an artifact trait

#

say it

balmy condor
#

it was not

#

the artifact trait was that each poison application reduced the cooldown of kingsbane

oak sky
#

😐

balmy condor
#

by like 0.3

subtle kiln
#

I enjoyed running KB in heroic last night. stuff didn’t exactly live long enough for good execute phase but still cranked

dense herald
#

Would anyone have any idea of how to do a couple things on cev’s plater profile?
1: remove the glow from garrote on the enemy name plate
2: instead of the enemy name plates going green when I sbs them, can I change it to turning green when garrote is up on them? (I assume it’s just a matter of changing some custom script from “sbs” to “garrote” but no idea where to find it

potent stone
#

is it normal that with around 260 ilvl i feel like i have no energy reg at all?

balmy condor
#

depends on your definition of no energy regen

#

prepatch is also missing 10 talent points

#

so the spec just isn't fully fleshed out

potent stone
#

yea just curious if it plays so slow, but i swapped from the kingsbane build to the starter build and it feels way way better now

balmy condor
#

probably a blindside diff

#

but we're still missing thistle tea and sbs and ER from the kingsbane build

#

so that's a lot of extra "speed"

potent stone
#

i watched some streams of beta today and even tho it was m+ i felt like there is a big diffrence in the speed of play yea

#

also i remember if im correct that assa needs gear more than i.e outlaw but i can be completly wrong 🙂

uncut echo
#

There it is, scaling

balmy condor
potent stone
#

what lethal poison should i use btw? or is there like a ranking if equipped?

balmy condor
potent stone
#

thanks 🙂

balmy condor
#

just btw

#

its just not a relevant thing to consider

potent stone
#

ah ok i remember my guildies in legion telling me this every fucking raid 😄

balmy condor
#

yeah they're clowns

#

they heard some dude say that like 3 years earlier

#

and then just rolled with it

#

while not understanding how anything works

#

I've been fighting the whole "scaling" thing for years now

#

its just too wide spread

potent stone
#

got it. will be weird first tier for me anyway, first time raiding world 500ish and swapping after 6 years of mage/warlock to rogue

static glacier
balmy condor
#

yeh

#

it just morphed to sin for some reason cause idk

#

slow spec and haste = faster

#

and faster = better

static glacier
#

Blame seal fate

balmy condor
#

yeah that too

static glacier
#

crit scaling xd

balmy condor
#

no other class in the game has crit interactions

potent stone
static glacier
#

The thing is people consider the rate of power increase without realising the base power of a spec matters much more than their benefit from secondaries

#

Esp since the whole redistribution of secondary stat gain vs ilvl a few expacs back

potent stone
#

was it bfa when ilvl was king ?

#

or when they changed the mainstat/secondary stat thing

static glacier
#

It’s been ilvl is king since wod I’m pretty sure

#

Mop had some suspicious interactions for some classes / trinkets

#

I can’t remember exactly but they just made it so you mainly gain mainstat with ilvl upgrades - more so than secondaries. It was legion or later

balmy condor
#

and don't realize that everyone around them

#

also gain stats

#

and also get damage from stats

#

it's not like sin has a passive hidden multiplier that makes it get 50% more damage per stat

marble hemlock
#

hey whishpyre, big fan. can you explain a little bit, ideall win only 2-3 sentences, how good assassination is scaling in dragonflight? thanks.

static glacier
#

Honestly I feel like spec scaling over time in a tier is more so with kill times than gear

#

Some specs prefer it while some perform worse with shorter kills, ele in nathria is an example

balmy condor
#

and then like the whole thinking is that sin sucks early in the expansion because it doesn't have a lot of secondaries, but then gets better with secondaries? But you start the expansion with secondary stats, it's not like you have 0% of any secondary when you log in for 10.0, and if assassination is so significantly better with secondaries than other classes, you would expect them to be better at the start as well

#

unless you're on the breakpoint cope train where you think there some magical barrier of stats you need to cross to enter the holy land

marble hemlock
#

yeah but we scale better than other classes, obviously

balmy condor
#

which is just even more deranged

#

like either secondaries are good, or they're not

#

you can't have both

potent stone
#

well but doesnt it make sense if u would need to reach a cap?

static glacier
#

They’ve bundled in a bunch of innate crit etc for any spec that needs it for reasonable gameplay / spell interactions

balmy condor
#

there's like maybe 2 breakpoints in the game that sorta matter

#

but they're easily explained

static glacier
#

Only breakpoints in modern wow are like shatter cap for frost and maybe gcd or haste caps for some specs

balmy condor
#

yeah

marble hemlock
#

we have a critcap tho

#

at 100%

balmy condor
#

shatter cap and fitting another cast into your cds or something

fleet whale
#

well there isn't much borrowed power in DF
and "scaling" these past few expansions has really just been how good each spec interacts with their borrowed power

potent stone
marble hemlock
#

outlaw also has a masterycap

fleet whale
#

so it will be interesting to see what happens in DF

balmy condor
#

but I challenge those people to explain to me what sort of breakpoints exist on assassination

fleet whale
#

cause DF doesn't have that much borrowed power

spare crow
fleet whale
#

basically none unless if you count tier

marble hemlock
static glacier
#

I’d imagine evo theorycrafters overanalyse the shattering star windows and have haste caps for fitting an extra disintegrate tick

fleet whale
#

and I guess a leggo may show up

torpid hinge
#

exsang snapshot haste -> more stat more bleed /s

potent stone
#

nah, tier aint no borrowed power in the sense of borrowed power

balmy condor
balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

or you talent coldblood and stop using abilities

#

while your bleeds tick

spare crow
balmy condor
#

how is tier not borrowed power btw

potent stone
static glacier
#

Inb4 that meme pyroblast filler half duration combustion talent baits some mages into going crit

balmy condor
#

tier is the definition of borrowed power

#

it's the original borrowed power

fleet whale
#

idk how you can overanalyze Devastation Evoker... I was playing it a bit and it might be one of the easiest specs to play in the game

balmy condor
#

you get it for 1 patch then replace it

fleet whale
#

at least in ST

balmy condor
static glacier
potent stone
torpid hinge
static glacier
#

There’s a little nuance to the spells even if it’s overall low-key meaningless and boring af

marble hemlock
#

whispyr ignoring my questions... i think ive overdone it 😦

#

he hates me now 😦

balmy condor
#

if 8.3 had a tier set that said "+80% haste"

#

they would be literally identical

static glacier
fleet whale
#

I mean I guess it can be difficult in the same way arcane mage can be difficult

#

like I get you can min max it, but like, there aren't many buttons

oak sky
#

tier is 100% borrowed power

#

its around for a limited time and gives you..... power

potent stone
balmy condor
static glacier
balmy condor
#

that response might be even more confusing

fleet whale
#

isn't there a creation catalyst in DF

#

I'm sad that exsang in good in DF

oak sky
spare crow
#

aren't we all?

marble hemlock
#

nah

static glacier
#

To clarify you can 100% buy tier, game is low-key pay to gear / win etc as long as you’re willing to pay for boosts. Ruins the game for some but it is an option

marble hemlock
#

theres some degens that like exsanguinate

#

like @keen mist this fucker

spare crow
torpid hinge
#

i like the idea of exsang

fleet whale
#

I feel like blizz has been gaslit into believing that exsang is actually well liked by a lot of players because it was used in NYA and in sepulcher

spare crow
#

if you're bad you stay bad

fleet whale
#

Sort of like Rune of Power for mages

oak sky
#

it was probably just

#

an ability that existed

#

so it got added to the new tree

#

independent from people liking it or not

static glacier
potent stone
# balmy condor that response might be even more confusing

Okay, what i am saying is - for me, a borrowed power is stuff like the Artifact weapons, Heart of Azeroth where u could farm it endlessly, but that is just what I think about. I also know that tier, corruption, covenant stuff is a borrowed power and changes the character, hope that clears up what i was talking about. But i maybe see tier in a diffrent light cause it has been there forever

static glacier
spare crow
#

which I get the point of, but it's still wrong

potent stone
spare crow
#

In practice, tier is also borrowed

#

even if we're used to it

fleet whale
#

I bet you warlocks are going to be strong in DF

spare crow
#

but It's well accepted by the community generally

potent stone
spare crow
#

cause it's not rly something you gotta do outside of the normal grind you would've done anyway

#

so it's a good kind of borrowed power

#

the not very good kind of borrowed power is the fucking rng corruptions

#

for example

#

god those were MISERABLE

static glacier
potent stone
#

Syreldar is saying those things that are in my head in english and not jibberish, but maybe thats cause its 5:30 am here

static glacier
#

Your line of reasoning could apply to legendaries, are legendary items borrowed power or not?

fleet whale
#

why do you hate gouge? lol

spare crow
spare crow
balmy condor
#

it's another button

#

no more buttons

fleet whale
#

If it's because it's an extra button, I get you. Sin has too many buttons with the current best build

spare crow
#

Oh nono i'm all for the button bloat, I can handle those

#

I don't like the fact that you gotta face the target to use it, it's counterintuitive

blazing snow
#

love that final note in the most recent pin

fleet whale
#

there used to be a glyph that removed that requirement for gouge

spare crow
#

YES

#

I wanted that as talent

balmy condor
#

(and a little jaded)

spare crow

Whispyr spitting facts

I call those "common Whispyr W"

balmy condor
blazing snow
#

pugging can be miserable, you don't need the off meta qualifier

balmy condor
#

people see yellow class in their group finder, hover your ilvl and raider.io and move on

fleet whale
#

Most people just look at ilvl and score for lower keys

balmy condor
#

they don't go looking at your spec

static glacier
#

😂 that was the hyperbole

#

It’s fine for rogues in general

balmy condor
#

they won't even notice until like the 2nd to last boss when they go "oh shit that's a sin rogue"

#

and hopefully you aren't a shitter and they go "that's pretty good"

nocturne current
#

Most people are even asking now. "Is assassination good now?" You just say, yes.

static glacier
#

But trying to find keys as say survival in s1-2 was cursed if I didn’t push my own key

balmy condor
#

and not "man they fucking suck"

blazing snow
#

people not looking at specs is how feral druids have snuck into keys for a while now

static glacier

People just don’t want to take a chance on an unknown variable even if it’s completely viable

balmy condor
fleet whale

Yeah but sin is currently ranked low in Sepulcher in pre-patch, clearly it's unplayable
/s

spare crow
spare crow
#

man I just wanted to TRY it

#

and i got fucking obliterated

static glacier
#

Any idea why IC specifically was buffed to 45s?

spare crow
#

by a random rl

#

XD

static glacier
#

Sin seemed to be doing fine with 1m

spare crow
#

Idk, maybe to line up w/ Exsang? I could be wrong

#

Whispyr might give u a better answer

fleet whale
#

they wanted to make it so that it doesn't line up with Deathmark anymore
to annoy Whispyr when people here ask when to use IC

balmy condor
#

you're not going to IC at the end of a pack anyway

#

so I don't think it actually changes much

nocturne current
#

It's too messed up sync with 1 minute in packs. You end up having it halfway through a pack that's about to die, which feels odd and off most of times to use it, then you wait for it not to use it again in next pack which only has 2 mobs, etc..

balmy condor
#

you're just gonna hold it a couple seconds now

static glacier
#

Fair take, certainly does feel better. Now if only he could “buff” exsang out of the talent tree for feel 🙂

spare crow
nocturne current
#

Plus, in single-target is useless, so it seems fair the buff.

balmy condor
spare crow
#

At this point we can complain about

  1. some Class tree nodes
  2. SnD
  3. Exsang
#

and we're set

balmy condor
#

how does it being useless in single target warrant a cooldown decrease

static glacier
#

It buys you ST globals since you don’t waste time having to rupture stuff as often in say a raid fight

balmy condor
#

what

static glacier
#

Speaking of which any add waves that IC now lines up with?

regal sable
#

buff me widepeepohappy

nocturne current
#

There's just too many situations where it just stands useless for the content it was built for.

balmy condor
#

it was built for aoe was it not?

static glacier
#

It’s useful in aoe, especially intermittent waves of adds

nocturne current
#

Yeah, but purely fully AoE so.. 1 minute for a okay talent. Bit high uptime in my feeling playing it.

#

I have no problems it having less targets, but less cooldown.

oak sky
#

Our cds are omega binary

nocturne current
#

It's just the tab-targetting is a hassle.

oak sky
#

It is what it is

balmy condor
#

I don't understand what you're trying to argue anymore

static glacier
#

It’s supposed to remedy our lack of a bursty aoe cd like ravager and odyn’s fury for example

nocturne current
#

Nothing, just the 1 minute pacing seems off.

balmy condor
#

ok

static glacier
#

You wanted it to be longer than 1 min cd ? Bruh

balmy condor
#

I thought it was fine at 1:30 but needed help in other ways that increased the general aoe, and didn't just crank the cooldown for more casts

#

and then it went to 1 min and I got spooked

#

and now it's at 45 and I'm like okay this is a little ridiculous now

nocturne current
#

The only thing, from my feedback, is that now at 1 minute, there's quite some situations where it comes up and then you save it, but then realize you're better even saving it even for the next critical pack after, so it ends up being shitty to time it, either use it on a pack that doesn't really need cooldown or use it on cooldown and then not have it at all for the harder pack.

45 no need to think, just use.

gusty kestrel
nocturne current
#

45 is okay.

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean I don't doubt that 45 seconds fits better, but it's getting to the point where it's carrying all of our dotting single handedly

nocturne current
#

I mean, even 1 minute is okay, but 45 is definitely smoother.

balmy condor
#

relying on 1 cooldown to be up every pack to do anything

nocturne current
#

Oh but, I guess all classes are getting it.

#

Even boomkins got it.

#

I guess they went on a dumb-down the multi-dotting philosophy or something.

oak sky
#

Like

#

Its what you want

#

Its for you

#

This change is for you

gusty kestrel
#

„tab targeting is a hassle“

#

gets dumb down auto spread talent

#

still not happy

nocturne current
#

Yeah I totally like it. The old assassination dotting was bit mess.

#

Nah I'm happy, even with the 1 min. I'm just more happy even.

oak sky
#

I liked ic as a long cd because it felt strong but wasnt our rotation

#

Our rotation was still multidot

#

Now ic is our rotation

#

Spec just isnt designed for me in aoe it is what it is

#

Probably will still be fun just not what i want

balmy condor
oak sky
#

And its gonna be better for the masses

gusty kestrel
oak sky
#

So it was probably the right call

balmy condor
#

killing multi-dot is not the move long term

#

but this is a decent duct-tape until assassination can finally get a re-design

#

since the legion redesigns did nothing to fix the issues

#

sub got a full overhaul and complete ground up re-imagining

#

sin got....... shiv

#

I guess

#

the precursor of shiv

oak sky
#

U mean in legion

balmy condor
#

I did say legion

oak sky
#

Tbh sub got big aoe work from sl to now

gusty kestrel
#

i liked toxic blade more

oak sky
#

Sub aoe is gonna be litty in df

gusty kestrel
#

not a fan of utility being a dps cd

balmy condor
#

the whole sin problem is that it's just not designed in a way that allows a coherent gameplay in aoe/m+ without some thing that just obliterates the concept of the spec to begin with

#

like 8.3 echoing blades made it good in m+

#

but you just spammed fok and it was giga degenerate

oak sky
#

Yepyep

#

No closed loop

#

Never has had a good closed loop

twilit hollow
#

i love degeneracy though

nocturne current
#

But you still end up doing a lot of multi-dotting even with IC. Usually packs are going through 2-3 cycles of garrote. It's just the first one for free.

spare crow
#

i mean generally

balmy condor
#

good, you should be

nocturne current
#

Yep

spare crow
#

the other 2 specs have easy aoe

balmy condor
#

it's significantly less than it used to be though

#

like a scary amount less

spare crow
#

so i don't think echoing blades was bad

oak sky
#

Bruh

balmy condor
nocturne current
#

It's a lot less dude, it's insane. Specially the opening is just crazy.

oak sky
#

Echoing blades sounds so ass

#

Lmao

Like

balmy condor
#

for a rogue to not spend combo points on a finisher

nocturne current
#

That was the only thing I was disliking in AoE Assa, is just the opening was soooo slow.

balmy condor
#

that's not okay

nocturne current
#

The initial setup was tears.

balmy condor
#

just spamming fok while overcapping over and over and over

#

should not be the gameplay

spare crow
#

yeah

Spamming ct PlatypusCosplayingAsBeaver

balmy condor

I worry about the "after a finisher" part being just "spam ct over and over, you need to fok for CP anyway to auto-consume the buff"

#

but the idea as a core sure

spare crow
#

So many interesting things can be done with this new talent structure

nocturne current
#

I guess that was more or less the idea they went with that talent that stacked up to 20 to do a super FoK, so I can see something like that yea.

We going to CT st in df? Assuming we have the spell talented
