there's probably some edge case like don't CT if you have poison bomb and amp poison and dashing scoundrel and twist the knife and you're inside deathmark
but lethal dose makes it kinda fine to just hit CT and call it a day every now and then in single target
I was like
So down for carnage -> maintain ct -> envenom for pb
Until pb did too much damage
đ
that gameplay was about to exist if IC didn't suck so much ass in low target counts
They basically granted Varas wish. 
we replaced poison bomb with kingsbane essentially
Its unfortunate
it still technically works as a gameplay loop
but you'd have to drop kingsbane and some other stuff
and it's just numerically not great
Yeah not good enough
btw how are the sub buffs looking
like +3% overall
My bingo wishlist.
No SBS. â
45s IC. â
CT over PB. â
Sepsis doing stuff. â
Thank you Mr. hidden blizzard dev. 
Now if only you can make Blindside bring up stealth bar as toggle. âď¸
Wasn't CT off in the old DTB build?

pls
As long as ct dot does good damage its good
you just don't want to bind ambush
just put ambush on alt 2 somewhere on a bar and forget about it
My amb is on shift 2
But it ruins my bar aesthetics.
Sepsis doesnt even need a bind
bruh put it on bar 6 that is hidden
And if it does then
u dont even have to see it
y'all don't have all your bars hidden in the first place?
Alt-z gameplay
i dno i like that i can have 3 of them on top of each other like in FF14 now
I have them on transparency + mouseover
i like the look
i watch my bars for cds
Also Blindside % based gives me anxiety.
so no ty
no weakaura?
why
sure but its not the same
this is why I turned my bars off
so I would stop staring at the bottom of my screen like a clown
and used my wa instead
^^^^^^^^^
BIG TRUE
No need to bring your eyes all over the screen
when you need to get some info
all the info u need should always be as close as it can be to the center of your screen, without bloating your combat visual
ok so aparently i have something similar to aphasia taht is not aphasia
That makes a lot of sense, but I kind of like the middle of the screen to just be the game - not full of timers and bars and pop ups
that creates pressure to my eyes when i focus them in the middle of somewhere
That's exactly my point, close to center but never center
let me try to show u
I've seen a lot of screenshots of what people play with. I think they have a different idea of what not the center means lol
anyway i have an eye disorder that stressed my eyes more when they have to focus on a specific point anywhere, i usually see everything pretty much in doubles
and its not fixable
so i use my peripheral vision abot pretty much everything
including having shit on the bottom of the screen and the sides
This is as bloated as my screen can get during fights
center always free.
except on very important notifications
the "1" at the center of the screen is my target count in aoe range, still gotta move that 
Isn't the center now even the default one?
I still had to reverse it to old-school though. Too many years used to it.
similar setup but instead of rogue was project azilroka for elvui
ngl thats a bit much for me đ
to each their own.
move ur buffs on target to below the frame so that your timers can be flush like on your player frame
big waste of space
No, because that's where the debuffs go
my timers are my buffs, but the bars on the boss are not their buffs
so they're bars for different things
honestly theres no real reason to track debuffs/buffs on bosses
anything important is being tracked by a weakaura
i removed them a while ago and had very minimal quality of life impact
personally that is
That depends. I often look at them.
To each their own
If they were useless to me I would've removed them
I've blacklisted some, for example.
ok serious question
and kind of a hot topic
do u think that bigwigs or dbm is necessary?
i mean no addon/weakaura is necessary
since they banned the "smart" weakauras in legion or w.e
they arent necessary
i feel like it just feels teh screen with timers and big colors and shit that is useless
boss announces everything eh does anyway so if u know the abilities u dont need them
theyre basically buffs/debuffs that exist that are exaggerated in order to make it easier to pay attention to
except u are doing a specific tactic then ye a particular WA is useful
I only use Bigwigs.
alert + the bars you see on top of the boss frame and near my control icons
that's it.
ye thats what im saying that feels too much for me
some shit are too big for no reason
you can customize them.
the only useful thing is the timer that people do for pulls
i dno im used to blizz ui and how bosses bring up stuff
it also depends on ur goals
and the level ur playing at
normal/heroic gamer?
dont even need that shit
pushing any decent mythic rank
you'll do everything you can to make sure that push timing is met, that debuff is tracked, that rally is on time
thats a major distinction that is very important
i mean i should clarify
since we as rogues dont really provide any raid utility/ability that people need
if u know the boss fights then you dont really need bigwigs unless there is a very specific thing only u are supposed to do at a specific spot
i dno ive raided mythic legion without bigwigs just with the WAs necessary for some fights
and was on hiatus till now so things might have changed
there's typically a package that gets released for each raid
thats all encompassing
you can take that and remove/customise w.e you need
or just dont run it at all
btw just having a discussion im not forcing anything on anyone was just curious about everyone's opinion
This is where the wa goes.
i have mine on the right side
How dare you force your opinion (very bad) onto me and my opinion (very good)
i should probably minimise my raid frames to make more space
ur opinions are sus and you know it
maplestory enjoyer
Ramfam is a maplestory enjoyer
Oxi is a maplestory enjoyer
he's excused cause otherwise he'll sue me
What if ramfam hires oxi to sue you
Rogue
Assassination
Indiscriminate Carnage cooldown reduced to 45 seconds (was 60 seconds).
i like it â¤ď¸
we all like it 
more env or ct spam 
exactly â¤ď¸
We like when the damage number go up
And we donât like when the damage number go down
so true
better number better person
hi guys, is sin playable rn on prepatch? i mean DUSKWALKER works?
Yea
ty â¤ď¸
they are very necessary
I couldn't play without weakauras.
Manually tracking bleeds and pandemics would be aids
talking about raiding and WA/dbm, i dont think my guild would have managed SLG without it
I mean u cant be in top w/o it and it will take longer for sure but its doable
like the orb management, who soaks what pool,(back up for a pool if somone dies) going left or right on upheaval, warning when you get blades and so on
it would take people months to finish that boss without WA
ye i get taht thats why i excluded WAs for particular fights set up by a guild on how they clear
felt pretty handicapped the first week of beta aswell with no WAs
tbf, dot/uptime buffs based specs without weakauras/addons are more or less unplayable
even BM hunter without addons is really really REALLY shit, because you cant track frenzy uptime without any form of addon at all
and thats the main mechanic of the spec

do zoldyck legendary and talents stack? đ
then why am i using both? explain that to me
đ
so that you dont need to skill zoldyck
because its prepatch
and you are a gigachad that actually tries stuff out instead of just copypasting pins

mindless copypaste starts at df launch
too kind
yea fr just go hard flame him
What is the mob count for using FoK?
huh?
be toxic
if that sounds like i was flaming him, it was not inteded that way 

iâm not allowed in outlaw
they rude
i said spec channels
therapist says itâs not healthy.
not hell holes
so you basically want a daily pic in offtopic 2
Will assa be played im rwf?
Not unlikely from what we see rn
it will
how does assa do on cleave now anyway, since I heard the raid has a lot of cleave fights? haven't played since bfa but back then we did 0 cleave but got some extra funnel damage from adds, is it still the same?
it will go FSDHOI SDFOIAS CJHOPFLASD HJ WSOIEF HYRTWEOITHJovc,h BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
I've just caught on to Realz posting the mario kart blue shell gif in a discussion about exsang awhile back, are we expecting a nerf or was it just memeing ?
Ask yourself this
my narrative is that exsang will be deleted come patch day
Wouls realz rather see if exsang plays out as bad as we think it will
Or knee jerk kill it
Oof
my narrative is the only one that works
Think about it like
Spell gets omega nerfed
Then it just feels worse
And we still go it
i mean, the problem many people dont see is, what else do we pick with that talent point lol
And it cant be completely unusable because whats the point of the tree then
i dont talent it
like, you could nerf exsang HARD, not many other options are left
Tiny toxic? Imp poison? Dashing? Pb? Twist the knife? Vicious venoms instead of flying daggers?
What a stupid fucking question
Thereâs like 5 good places to put that point
What
allright, the TL:DR is: assa is better for aoe stuff now, we got new tolls (Indiscriminate carnage is great for aoe dot spreading, agility for multidotting gives some overall dmg in aoe etc....), BUT its not outlaw/fire mage tier
its better, but not the #1
assa is bussin
The world if vv was good
Was about to say that
I think Sub can be super good for keys too if tanks pull big dmug
and yes, the first raidtier is very aoe/cleave heavy, all fights except the 2nd(?) have some form of adds/cleave stuff, but dunno how much aoe you actually will need at the end
twist ||deez nuts||
So many interesting choices!
If realz was to nerf exsang I'd expect it been done competently, his track record on balancing so far is pretty good
and we take the one that makes the gameplay worse 
Passive increase 1, passive increase 2, passive increase 3, passive increase 4
You asking for more buttons?
I see, do we still have to choose between either good ST or good aoe/cleave or is it slightly more hybrid now?
No

tbf, i dont see a exsang nerf, either it gets a full rework and does something different OR just gets replaced
@balmy condor answer him, idk the numbers for beta and assa build differences 
Doesnt have to be an active ability to be interesting, and of course some passive talents are needed and expected
Just engaging in a bit of memery
You go IC + KB and itâs hybrid or DTB and itâs hybrid but sin has no burst cleave and youâre a single target boss damage guy
so for "irrelevant" adds that just die from passive cleave we still just ignore them or use for funnel right?
Yeah
also do you happen to have a damage breakdown for beta m+?
Yeah itâs your 3 bleeds then fok, poisons and then the rest of whatever
ah great, I really enjoyed the bleed playstyle in bfa and it sounds like we get that but more refined and an actual aoe button? 
3bleeds? you mean garret 1, garret 2, garret 3, then fook fook?
Exactly
like with the shouded suffocation things to focus damage on garrotte
i mean, we do that, yes
azerite traits
Subterfuge has existed for like a decade now
you will stealth ic garrote er rupture
Garrote from stealth is a thing sin has done for many moons
didnt assa use mut garrote mut as a opener during BfA for some times
BfA
Yes
snd wasnt a thing in bfa iirc?
Bfa
in bfa we didnt had snd whisp
we had those azerite traits that giga buffed mut though but can't remember exact opener
Mut gar mut canât be correct in any universe
Without shrouded that puts you at 5cp with no seal fate
With Youâre already at 5 after the gar
@subtle tundra what was the opener during BoD again in BfA
when we used master assassin
oh yes it was garrote mut rupture
or how i played it
garrote mut 3cp alt f4
"sorry, dc"
flaccid MA window performance
Sorry if this is answered already. Does empowered garrote from stealth on IC target spread empowered garrote on all 8 targets?
Yes, it also spreads your iron wire silence
Damn didn't know it spread iron wire, that's really nice
school teachers would like to know this one trick
As a school teacher myself
I can confirm this
But instead of 8 targets, 28


I work as a High school teacher (english in fact) and here in Spain we are used to have 29-33 students per class
an absolute madness
Yes, without hesitation
maybe I could save very few of them
If Jimmy has 8 apples and Joanie has 7 oranges, how many Combo Points will it take to get full bleeds on the entire classroom without Indiscriminate Carnage?
you have $10 and you buy two cokes for 10 minutes and burgers, now the first coke only last 2.5 minutes then you spend less to burgers and buy another coke, still $10. The difference transferred to burger difference not money wise
God what is that pasta from
I reroll salad 
Donât bully Him wtf
Heâs my goat 
Only cool mage known to man (because he play frost)
Then they nerfed our AoE 

no, bully
No man
push nerds into the locker
Besides the "beyond 8 targets" change that affected a lot of classes and isn't an issue, they nerfed Frozen Orb by 15% 
Good (heck mage players)
Arcane untouched 
The duality of man = liking ash and hating mage
The duality of man = Will 
Nuff said

Duality of Cat-Man, or Man-Cat, idk what he prefers 
No 
guys
playing ass rogue is slow compared to others,i am right about that or wrong?
Itâs comparable to sub, slower than outlaw for sure
so?
the poisons is what makes it so satisfying.
Bleeds, and since you donât understand that, reading a guide seems helpful as they are great for understanding the basics of a spec. You can check every channelâs by typing

Sheesh bestie
I got caught lackin, not trying to be rude, just think itâll be really helpful 
I mean its facts
Eh it is what it is, going to dreamhack today, yâall want anything?
My house cleaned with minimal effort
You and me both, bestie 

is there any way to not cast Exsanguinate without losing dps
?

This guy still lives in my head rent free
Every day I think of him
bargers
I read it and I laugh because I see the point he was trying to make but it is a funny sentence
if DM and then garrote it will be duplicated or just if I cast garrote before DM?
Whats the new dps calc diff if you were to take ttb with the zoldyck buffs
WAIT that was a pasta from this channel wasnt it
Damn, much larger now
@spice spire If I take 1 hour to cook a batch of cookies and the cookie monster has 15 ovens working 24 hours a day every day for 5 years, how long does it take the cookie monster to make 6000000 batches of cookies?
press on cd

is he using exanguinate to bake them faster or not
Lmao
except on leap years
Yes it was

Smash it in OT 
this is ot
No this is Patrick
We talk about Exsanguinate here
Sang bad
Smash it in the right OT 
Delete this rn
Mf the only thing ur evading is the filter I s2g
maybe too much for that one too


It worked :)
Some things are better left saved for when whispyr hits you up with pics of his feet at 2am asking about some fungus
true
I have left the need to play dh behind me, I fucking hate havoc
Back to hating 2/3 rogue specs
exsang your new bestie
Realz just softening us up for the ST nuke
Heâs killed 25 changes in a row, so he has a tactical waiting
No way it's getting smashed
exsang causes IC change and you still hate my boy
Yeah but thatâs a hero class
if they delete exsang our st is fine
rogues just havenât sorted out that hipster spec is destine to be mid
I mean we're a hero class for sapping and smoke bombing for mages
Why no villain class 
Thata dh
You will give my LoS from the enemy team while I turret into them and you will enjoy it! 
Sepsis 
Only missing one out of 11 names for my characters. Just need a Samkitten and the unholy collection will be complete
Is that the death knight?
I'd list them but that might be spammy, so the only class I don't have as a -kitten is DH/Hunter/Monk.
Everyone else is taken, just need one for my Sam
Wait isnt fire the worst simming out of three honestly underperforming mage specs

I get my names from Elden Ring / souls games. My dk is Radahn, my mage is Nokstella
Dh is Lazarai because that's fucking based

No heâs a senator, so it would be senator shit 

Back to topic, the three Gs are:
Gaslight (people into enjoying exsanguinate), gatekeep (people from hating exsanguinate), girlboss (donât play exsanguinate)
Standing here, did you realize no one asked 
But no, that was the only game in the series I played.
Way ahead of you Big Boss
What a glorious way to start my day

Buddy im about to dunk deez nuts on you say less
Iâll dunk on your dad if you keep this up
I should spec into Exsang just to see what the fuss is about
hello bois, I would need to ask for your help
Lies and slander? 
Hi friend
I am trying tocreate WA to track empowered garrotes but I am unable to đŚ
Yeah thatâs gonna require some custom code unfortunately
its the last item I need to check so that Ican switch to sin
Itâs a custom coder for sure empowered and normal share ids in game đŚ
I think afenarâs is updated for imp garrote you can probably just yoink theirs from their giant pack and customize it to your liking
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/LuxthosRogueDragonflight (Luxthos's Group)
Can just drag it out of their big WA pack and then delete the rest
ok I will try
If you have customized stuff and update new pack you lose your previous custom?
so I tried to do as advised, but I couldn't see difference in normal garrote vs empowered one
any string talent for pvp?
Oof
correction - I tried to play around the WA in description here and found finally one option đ thank you all
Smack down
Have fun!!!
Worth it to envenom in aoe?
Good morning
11:30 here 
just fire
Fire bad
We can answer your questions here just fine :) don't be shy
I just have questions for questing/leveling, not about spec that fits to this channel
My problem is, I'm low hp or just dead after every single fight
Kidney shot is super nice if you have it, so your dots rot people down
guys, can assassin rogue can go top 1 and compete with others? xd
Yesm
no
go play outlaw
wdym
(he is joking)
rogue in general is well known to be kinda shitty during leveling
am i?
I don't know if this is normal in WoW, but every 1v2 fight is a 50/50 win or die and 1v3 is 100% dead for me
youre probably doing something wrong?
i know its a stupid question BUT
if you playing assassination, are you using weapon poisons?
its something people tend to forget
yes I do
Pretty big bulk of your damage, too
should i just put my poison and bleeding on the enemy and then run away for 10 seconds?
For maximum BM in pvp, why not
don't forget the /laugh
eh, the general gameplay loop is putting garrote/rupture on enemys, and then spend cp on envenom
normaly during lvling stuff dies fast 
what level are you, what level are your enemies, what ilvl do you have? i could imagine you just leveld so quickly nowadays that your ilvl might be a tad too low if you're not using heirlooms
I think that's what I'm doing
but like, rogue has the lowest hp of all melee dps if i remember right+low armor+almost no sustain
health should've been homogenized a long time ago
I'm level 22 and the enemies are the same level
but still, leather melee with zero sustain
Yeah rogue is terrible for pulling during levelling
at least we got stealth going on for us
which saves valuable time on many quests
its homongenized for 99%of cases, i think only warrior and warlock tend to have more hp cus of talents?
Rogue, DK, Warlock, Warrior, DH
OutLUL gets 10%
DK gets 20, Lock gets 16, warrior get ssome, Dh gets 6
I mean, sin and sub having less health overall than other melee isn't really problematic imo
but yeha, the tl:dr is really just: rogue during lvling sucks, gotta survive it
its not problematic at all
like, the amount of hp never matters for dps/healers lol
if you eat a mechanic that is supposed to kill you, you die
if you eat a mechanic that is supposed to kill you in 2 ticks, it doesnt matter if you are at 40% or 46% cus of it
I mean during leveling
i havent leveld a rogue lately, but id imagine you just hit a phase where it might be a bit tougher maybe due to ilvl or not so great options for selfheal due to lack of points and spells. just work your way through it as good as you can. the next weapon upgrade or so might make you feel much better
dead enemies cant hurt you anymore
at least not physically
Okay, I will try doing that. Thank you
guys i lvled outlaw, but not sure if i like blade flurry being 90% of my dmg profile đ Is assa a lot harder/ able to do decent m+/raids as outlaw can ? Gameplay is rly interresting
it requires a bit more effort than slapping on blade flurry
but once you get the hang of it, it's super simple
i have no problem in learning if its rewarding. Is it ? is it decent in AoE/cleave ?
ye its pretty good in aoe and cleave
Outlaw harder than sin
is assa reliant on long CD's or infinite spamming like outlaw ? Can u pump from pack to pack in m+ ? Sory for noob questions but im rly interested in assa more than outlaw atm
Sin is super cool to play
outlaw i simple, just tracking some stuff nothing more
And does really good now
is*
It is not
It's the hardest spec
'some' stuff 
well, as outlaw u need to track buffs, as assa u need to track poisons right ?
nope, highest CD is deathmark at 2min. They just reduced the CD of our AoE CD to 45s so you'll have it for pretty much every pack in high keys
but there is a lot of spamming of fan of knives into a finisher in aoe
Just test all
ok i have to check it, i feel that ill love it honestly :p
Sin's dmg is comming from dots right ? can he easily spread them ?
yeppers
Poison and bleeds yeah
and if you're specced into indiscriminate carnage it takes care of the spreading bleeds for you every 45s
cool, going to wowhead guide now, thank u guys đ
Honestly just test
And feel comfortable
As oxi said
It's really straightforward once you get the basics
You will be fine
for me oputlaw is rly simple and spammy(i like it) but i have the idea of blade flurry
hate*
maybe sub then?
Don't wanna be rude but if you find outlaw easy that early you might be doing a lot of mistakes that maybe you're not aware of
That or you're gifted
good WA and everything u got on ur creen
i ahve one with sounds
so when i hear sound i know what to do
easy
đ§
it got submarine sound when blade flurry is going to fall, sound for rtb etc, its not that hard to be honest
đ
Outlaw is widely considered to be one of the hardest specs in the entire game
It's super fast paced and really dynamic as to what you should press when
ye but its not like u have to press 10 buttons in 1 sec, just normall build spend playstyle. Its fast paced yes, but i like it. I enjoyed afflock before so i think that ill enjoy Assasination đ
this wa was even playing blade flurry sound when second target appeared in range. Really usefull thats why i think that things become easier
Ewwww
If you say so....
tbf, its hard for another ability to be #1 dps in aoe, when the entire aoe kit is "you cleave now with blade flurry" 
what u guys find hard in outlaw ? u gut literally 1 rotation to master, maybe just tracking severall buffs, but nothing more i can think of. Anyway ill try assa when im home and hope ill enjoy it
Yes, thats why i dont rly like it, i dont like this idea. Sin got as much stuns/kicks as outlaw i hope ?
outlaw is more reactive gameplay, assa and sub is more align stuff
non of those are harder or more easy
its both different
There's not a rotation for outlaw, it's super reaction based
It's a mental priority list that changes constantly while basically being permalusted
Shit's turbobrain
i played enh whole shadolands, im fine with slapping keys đ
just saw one guys is streaming keys in beta as Sin, looks cool !
and he pumps
tbf, as assa in keys you need to remember that you dont really have the big frontloaded dmg
so it can feel weak in lower keys where stuff dies fast
How far is assa behind outlaw in dragonflight
False, gabagool spec

Ahead in st, little bit behind everywhere else
for st, its ahead a good bit, for aoe assa is good now, not insane, but good
Thatâs what Iâm saying man lol
and what if theres like 2target cleave raid ? who would be ahead ?
outlaw
fck blade flurry đ im in HC raiding/doing m+15-20 keys guild so i can play what i enjoy
most time im hogher in charts than my meta guildmates anyway so ill be fine đ

si
I am confusion.

shiv normally doesn't give you the nature damage amp
improved shiv modifies shiv to give it to you
That's not how the tooltip reads though. Thank you.
yeah tooltips are often scuffed
you'd have to untalent improved shiv

is there a good elvui profile that you recommend?
I'm personally a big fan of atrocity's, but it is paywalled behind a twitch sub
I know whispyr has his floating around somewhere
Paywall cringe :(
do we have a macro as sin like this?
#showtooltip Sinister Strike
/cast [stealth] Ambush; Backstab
/cast [nostealth] Sinister Strike
I'm used to playing outlaw but I want to bleed someone.
Basically I'm wondering if there is a spell we use to open but not otherwise that I can bind to be one key while stealthed and one key while not.
you open with garrote always, so not sure you'd want that, cause you'll use garrote outside of stealth too
That basically answers my question.
So ambush is essentially useless except for a super niche situation where my target already has garrote?
Blindside, a talent we take procs out of stealth ambushes for free
Copy that. tyvm.
Just ran a key as Sin and it felt absolutely awful... ugh

oh boy im so lost with those new skills on my bar đ Are there any decent youtubers with their guides for assasin ?
prepatch content will be super limited
Just have fun
lol been a while since i've tried sin rogue.... feels foreign
anyone have a good range checker weakaura for target counts
quick question that popped up when i read the new pin, what is "capstone"?
oh, why call it capstone?
noun. a finishing stone of a structure. the crowning achievement, point, element, or event.
essentially the last talents in the tree are considered the "strongest" or "best"
how do you open on a pack, get SnD up asap and then pop cooldowns ?
im completely new to sin. i have only played the other two specs really
Depends.. Single target or multi-target?
pack
Assuming m+
Garrote casters from stealth to help group, SnD, vanish/meld/dance IC garrote, fan, rupture, fan, tempest then pick the most dangerous or highest health target and funnel with kingsbane/exsang ST rotation stuff.
aoe
Do we even use FoK in our aoe rotation?
Or just prioritize a target and mut them then CT
I open IC > Garrote > Fans > Rupture > Fans > Crimons > Fans > SND
SnD the last thing I care in AoE
Feels bad waiting for everything to get grouped
ye
dope thank you guys

Phew. This is a lot to come back to after a big break. Think I need to find a passive build to get warmed up with.
ye its def overwhelming
and unfortunately we can't play with our passive capstone until level 70

Aww nuts. That looks like a nice warm up.
M+ is still open on beta ;)
tell em đ
dw you can always play outlaw
Damn where can i find what these acronyms mean, not sure what FoK is
fan of knives
soon we'll have a list of them in #assassination-faq đ
so don't worry about it too much
sweet. thanks
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/glossary-terms there is also this
@spice spire @gusty mirage

i will be mean to you
just wait til Ronkels makes it permanent
I need this icon on my UI ingame
Where do i put this, into the Interface folder ?
../interface/Icons/ and then your WA should look like it
otherwise look at stuff like clean icons
and then replace the one they had
I was looking around, but this may be a dumb question⌠are there sims similar to the pinned post for all 3 specs?
Ty man i'm gonna try this icon

do i use CT in ST?
Yes
even in the opener or do i skip it for the deathmark window?
That's depressing tbh
Even in opener
I wish ct damage would scale up on the number of targets affectĂŠ. It would kinda solve the ST issue
how would i go on about this? Garrote > Mut > Rupture > DT > Shiv > Sepsis > Max CP > CT ?
why
Idk why would you play sepsis and CT together but sure
you dont talent it for ST, you use it if talented in ST
which uh i should do
idk i just tried stuff out, should i go venth for keys instead?
Or that

what if
best answer
Then youâre kinda out of luck
the right stuff is on outlaw
Outlaw is still right for DF S1 too tho
i didnt ask for a build i just asked about how i would go on about my opener and you pointed out how its weird to even have sepsis
Yeah
not sure how im out of luck here
It is
it...is weird cause on the tree it competes with sbs which is miles better
appreciate it! :)
I donât Know the full tree
#subtlety has all the lvl 60 builds
the downfall is it does tank levels of dps
in prepatch
it's not THAT bad 
it kinda is
not a fan of ct on ST, can see there being fights in the next raid where you take ct just because of a few intermittent adds for a bit extra dam (like mythic spider boss), i assume theres not much opportunity cost of taking it?
What's wrong with crimson in single target?
Ct is lame in single target based fights but like
Why?
In a fight where i take ct i dont mind maintaining it
Its an aoe finisher
Why should i be talenting it in st
It's a finisher.
it's an aoe finisher
It's a finisher.

Iâve grown to like it in single target
You like black powder in st hyperfox?
Single target doesn't involve AoE though
which CT is
and sub should black powder single target
CT affects multiple enemies. 1 or more.
outlaw should just blade flurry I guess
Are we getting to another a buff to zero is not a buff situation?
why not multi-shot in single target as well
If it does more damage, who cares.
people who aren't hyperfixated on a number on warcraftlogs
assa goes hard
So when you play FPS's you only use a shotgun if there's 2 enemies or more so the other pellets aren't wasted?
TIL shotguns are useless at close range if there's a single target
not only you are way off mark
but even your analogies fall flat
are you trying to purposely be some devil's advocate
hereâs a cute doge picture.
there is no way you believe this

I mean we complaining that IC does legit nothing in ST (as in we want aoe spells to atleast be usefull in ST when talented) but we dont want to have to use CT in ST, or am i misunderstanding?
Just don't see what people's issue is with a finisher that works in single target that happens to hit multiple enemies too.
this is what happens when youâre S Tier on maxâs stream
because that's whack ass design of a gameplay loop
CT doesn't "happen" to hit multiple ennemies
I know IC being a cd makes it a bit different but still
I don't like my CT keybind so I don't like pressing it
IT'S ITS PURPOSE
Why? It's nothing like Envenom.
Poison bomb, does, indeed, happen to be AoE
and also something that triggers off of a ST ability
It only works in st because its a bleed, but its only a bleed because half our spec is based on bleeds, that doesnt make it different than other aoe spenders
Is starfall in st good design?
Its basically a dot
the problem isn't that IC on its own does nothing for ST
do you press BP for Sub as a ST finisher?
it's that we have to sacrifice a LOT of ST to get it
no, IC shouldn't do single target. That whole discussion is about talenting IC over another capstone is a big single target loss. That's a cost/benefit assessment, not a "we want this button to do single target"
I don't see what's the issue that an ability that is best for single target also wouldn't work in AoE.
god no
uwu
I mean that's probably hyperfox's wet dream since it applies rupture and garrote and those are single target abilities
but any sane person would say no

IC - your next garrote and rupture will apply to an additional 7 nearby targets. if additional targets do not exist, the next garrote and rupture will be duplicated up to 7x on your current target.
lmao
we donât do feels here
gaem dehsighn

lolol
Enormous brain
and completely balanced too

wait thats sick
i want that
then you deathmark... for 16 garrotes and 16 tuptures
sick in the head yes
THEN YOU EXSANG
No you dont
EXSANG 27 BLEEDS
click that + exsang in pvp
HUGE
yep
MOB BLOWS UP
THE RESULTING EXPLOSION DOES AOE DAMAGE FROM THE SHEER FORCE OF BLEEDING
What is this meme
Literally obliterates the floor under it
what meme?
breaking through the stage like a tekken match
If it was the same or similar to envenom and had the advantage of AoE on top of envenom that would be lazy and pointless, but it's two completely different abilities.
No meming
creates a blood puddle ennemies slip'n slide on
Sin has good choices for AOE or ST focus. Don't like it? Play Outlaw. No Choices - just more dam, ST and/or AOE.
They fall and hurt their back, cant stand up = CC'd rest of the dung
easy
Bleed flurry
correct, it is two different abilities, designed for two different circumstances. So why should we use CT in a situation where we want to envenom?
get a 1s stun everytime you try to do anything
including move
Would it tho
So just omega boring
You know how some people say that math is âmental abuse to humansâ? Well, lemme tell you one thing: âMathâ is an abbreviation for âmathematicsâ, so youâre only looking at 36% of the whole thing. What does the other 64% stand for? It stands for âexcept mostly at truly intelligently cool studentsâ! That means, if you think math is mentally abusing you, youâre not truly intelligent or cool! Youâre dumb and lame! So the next time someone gives you the first 36% of this ridiculous acronym, give them the other 64%. Donât forget to tell them that they suck at etymology.
assa aoe is already omega boring wdym
Wow's boring wdym
