do you know the one with the wolf
yeah make like a feast and wolf down my cum
Just read whispyrs why and why not to play sin in dragonflight and it got me thinking about one of my biggest dislikes of sin in m+ and was curious if other better sin rogues feel this or if it's just not that big of a issue actually and that is restealths feel so important and most good tanks seem to want to constant chain pull. Thoughts?

restealths aren't important
But Apex > SbT has good synergy for AoE. Pressing an AOE Bite and feeling bad is fine, but SbT procing from the free AoE bite which increases all rip damage feels pretty nice imo
there arent enough places where its easy to chainpull to matter
Not a super fan of BT either
you'd rather have a clean pull setup, let healer get mana etc
isnt feral easier in df than before?
yeah
yes
Ok cool. Honestly I'm really thinking about giving sin another go in m+
yep
i like that
You already did didnt you
primal wrath has insane synergy with everything
you press it and 17 different things happen
u played it like CT before where u just maintain the rips
i did spam it
no, you spammed it before too
whats your favorite type of milk, mine's a tossup between cheese and yogurt
i like spamming
Ice cream or choccy
condensed milk
exsang enjoyer spotted
mine is milk that has gone bad
oh chunky style milk
Mine is sour and chunky


ice cream great answer
dude i love it when my coffee rng procs a chunk of milk
no question, but with the new PW bite feels much worse, thats the thing, like so many buttons feel better and bite got worse with one thing speaking for it, SbT
BT wont get better, LI isnt an aoe talent imo. i find it disgusting.
i stay with LS its just to good to pass, and the only situation where you really lose value is in st, in aoe i doubt that it will make a big enough difference tbh, if i lose 2% i take it while crying because im so happy
like a bit of texture in my bad boy coffee
Thanks im here all week
I agree. LI feels so good in ST but so bad in AoE. And yeh I gotchu
hmm
imo it changed new interactions, but it doesnt feel like half your dmg is try hard, now dmg is easier, but you still have to manage bleeds a lot and top play stays difficult, but thats for the hardcore minmaxers i think, everyone else will lose dps trying to do it so.. 😄
is assa good in m+
look at pins reee
delete outlaw!
BrS would be cool if it wouldnt be coupled to swipe but kind of an upgrade to trash? damn that would be awesome.
its probably easier than assa
could be idk, havent played enough assa to have a real opinion
Banana milk
i think assa is more punishing if you dont get your opener done.
but it felt better then feral most of the time.. damn those bad convokes...
also a W answer
strawberry milk is the goated fruit/berry-milk
Bana..na..?
didnt ask
can i get an outlaw deletion
M.i..l...k.....?
for my birthday gift
you already got sin M+ for your birthday varas
Does CT pandemic?
yes
i wouldve played it regardless... through bad and good assa is my baby
does condensed milk pandemic?
pandemics my colon

i think its funny when assa and feral are called great for beginners and easy.. .ehm what? do you mean to do any dmg or REAL dmg?
df made both easier on some parts but also more depth was added imo
i love underdogs
well thats it from me, have a good night and thanks for your tips and the nice conversation 🙂
if only I could exsanguinate my non-functioning pancreas
dead dead.
taking the steve jobs cosplay a little too seriously
7 months ahead of me 😢
wtf I cannot remember the last time I played Sub. I must have run a shit ton of keys in season 1
insulin pump has my back
feral should be 3x as high 😄
I have mage on mine
wtf, where does that post come from, and where can i go to show you my altaholicsm?
this is what happened when he wasn’t green
The big boys forced me to play those specs in Sanctum :((
But I'm back to my good boy ways now
the scary men are gone
where does this picture come from?
Raider io expansion recap
that’s my guess at least for most
Only started playing it after the second aura buff
I think Seli was only one really trying to make it work. yet outlaw is his most played spec. 
i played loading screen the most.

where do you get that
same
I can't even click on the thing
that cogwheel has been spinning for 15 minutes
Nothing happens
no click allowed
anyone gonna tell me where i can find this or nah
https://raider.io/shadowlands-review should be it but not working for me
ty ty
well i don't need it, mine is feral >> assassination = elemental > outlaw > guardian
so i know about inting keys
for me it was
like all of the sin keys are from s1 and s2
Can assas do mythic fine ?
Yeah
yeah
its not a sure thing that we'll be meta
but it's looking great
and even then all specs should be able to do anything but the very highest keys
i've been generating my shadowlands recap for 45 mins 
mine at least says that its generating now /shrug
Yeah, devs are working on it, hopefully all fixed soon 🙂
if it's for m+ only, mine won't say anything anyway, i only did like 3-4 keys in season 1 
I'm scared to show mine
i wish i could :/ lol
Been generating for 20 min too now
DM me your r.io links and I'll forward them, maybe it'll help figure out the problem 🙂
Load is obviously pretty high right now, so that doesnt help.
man I'm trying to not get my hopes too high but how they've handled assa makes it really hard to not get hyped
Except for the 30 second opener yeah 👌
30 sec opener? 
Does anyone a UI recommendation?
More like 10 but still

am I missing a joke or something?
It's just a really long opener before going into the usual rotation compared to many specs
Just play the game gamers

cant make me
I go to bed every night and pray that they don’t nerf sin
Finally generated; 19 keys in total across the whole expansion 
how long did people stay stuck at the generating recap part of that lol
cuz mines been forever
it will stay stuck until it doesn't, i kept trying again until it generated instantly
How do you do this?
Did SL recap just come up?
I’ll probs wait until the last day to do it.
I bet Sin was my lowest key numbers done for the entire expansion….

just cruiou what everyones thought are with outlaw compares to sin rogue coming into dragonlfight having very hard time choosing a side to lean towards more
why do u have to lean towards a side
yeah the only barrier between either of those specs is a single one handed weapon, just play both
the only barrier is actually your APM
Had a stroke
this is probably a really dumb question.. but I have been away for about a year, and I have forgotten nearly EVERYTHING about my rogue... Is there a super dumbed down re-starter guide out there? Starting from zero with all of these abilities has me sweating hard... and of course all guides are generally geared towards maxxing out everything... which is not bad.... just bad for me right now.
real
The wowhead guide has a quick start page with super stupid easy stuff
aiming high for me atm, would be low average. lol
what
i can handle the APM mostly, but the amount of CDs i have to track is too much to handle
I will check that out. I feel like there are 10000000000 more keys and ability windows to hit than I remember. I am losing my shit
Cause like, had a stroke, so half of the body is limp
So you lean
was hilarious actually
just read whispyr explaination on exsanguinate, tldr: we press it on cd and just make sure we refresh out bleed before, is there something else to it?
I’ve seen this line somewhere before….


Play the one you like
Rogue is fun, I’ll play it. That is all. Regardless of spec.
yeah pretty much, max refresh garrote/rupture regardless of time left on them, exsang, let those dots tick out
making sure you don't exsang inside of a deathmark
you either exsang before the deathmark like in the opener
or you exsang after
but never during
What's the order for cds then, @balmy condor ? With the single target build
I preface that, I get what you're saying about not using exanguinate inside of deathmark
sync vanish/deathmark, use every 2 min
exsang on cd
kingsbane on cd every min, every other kingsbane inside of deathmark
hold both shivs for kingsbnae
and then just sbs for the dot, then avoid overcapping
ER on cooldown, using the animacharges as you naturally hit them
uhhhhh
thistle tea for 100+ energy, basically starve yourself -> tea
Ty
I feel like I'm missing one
I have tea specd but haven't used it. Is it on or off gcd?
off gcd
Nice, ty
deathmark is dynamic
the only snapshot we have is exsang
you can imagine it as literally your normal gar/rup/poison, but twice
they are completely identical, function the same way, etc
correct, exsang is a haste snapshot
trinket whenever
haste steroids should be used before exsang in opener because of the snapshot, otherwise you're safe to use it with vanish/deathmark every 2 min
is the 70 opener available somewhere? i only see the prepatch
only missing exsanguinate in there but i would assume we use after rupt?
We’ve just recently done opener things and I’ve talked with seli earlier today about keeping the guides consistent on that front
Will be updated
but, hmm we dont wanna exsanguinate during deathmark
but since deathmark is dynamic if we exsanguinate before
then use deathmark?
so we dont delay it
and just refresh as normal
or would that be incorrect and need to wait for the exsanguinate "bleed" to end completly
we dont?
Generally the idea is garrote -> rupture -> rupture for max pandemic -> vanish garrote -> exsang -> deathmark - envenom kingsbane shiv
Would be a fatal mistake
How come?
Didn't realise it also sped up dm
if you want to get a max duration rupture before every exsang, is it a good idea to maybe just cast a 3 or 4 CP rupture if you know exsang will be ready soon after?
usually unnecessary outside of opener
so you don't waste as many seconds/CP from the previous rupture
I'm sure you could do that in theory
but it's questionable how consistently you can do that
without fucking it up
Another reason to 
might get you an extra envenoms worth of cp over the course of a 5 min fight
if that's worth to you
go for it
so, refresh no matter what, does it mean u also refresh a 30 sec rupture?
yes
ew
Where’d you end up putting sbs
unrelated to exsanguinated, but do u keep the cycle of vanish garrote deathmark at every 2 min, or do u deathmark then vanish garrote, i would assume since your vanish garrote last longer u want to empower it first
so that's a bit of a loaded discussion
I don't really have the time to do a 30 minute history lesson on it
but the TLDR is the "sim perfect" rotation has you pressing deathmark, then vanishing about 10 seconds into it when the exsang garrote drops
and then never syncing them again
so you get 2:10 deathmark, 2:20 vanish, 2:30 exsang
roughly speaking
and you just deathmark a normal garrote
10 seconds in, vanish gar
that's about 0.3% better than syncing them up and using the opener I just posted
wtf, ok thats more complicated
and me and seli both agree it's more realistic in an actual raid fight
to just sync them up
Is Exang really that required? I hate
so we're going to be recommending that
well thx whispyr
Gonna Exang myself irl
im surprised with all the discussion u had with realz that they kept the exsanguinate idea like that
some problems just aren't fixable that easily
ya, wasnt meant as a critic
Exang throws off my groove
like symbols and shadow blades on sub are issues too that need to be replaced, but it's gonna take a lot of time and work to get sub to that point
sin in m+ is doing okay now, carnage is covering our AoE good enough, but it doesn't really solve our issues rotationally
it just makes us do enough damage to where it's fine
there's underlying issues that are kinda hard to just pull the roots from
clicking envenom and shiv in aoe is still weird to me
yeah its an improvement
but there's just a lot of stuff where it's easy to be like "oh just delete or replace or whatever it's fine", but its like years long work
im happy tho, the dev team did a great job tuning assasination after removing the aura buff
I prefer sin in M+ over outlaw even though I like outlaw better in raid, but I felt like I haven't been able to play it since BFA. Was happy to see it being competitive again, I just hate Exang too much to play it atm
exposed
what if exsang simply applied a 10 sec debuff that doubles the tick rate of your bleeds without shortening the duration, that would be so much easier to play out
is KB the new st king or is DTB still within margin of error?
KB is considered stronger generally because of the controlled burst and the stronger execute
but overall DTB is still fine
o ya.. almost forgot.. still use finisher at max cp -1?
yes
is exsang still a 2%ish increase vs no exsang with all the changes?
5
im gonna need you to change the math on that
So you mean, a mini death mark?
do we at least do more st than outlaw now?
unless theres some fix to the apl
even in m+ sub is higher then outlaw
even on 3 target
thats good at least. ive been out of the loop for a bit
"for now"
Imma need you to delete Exsanger from your name
skill issue obviously
exsang c:
@balmy condor Wouldn't deathmark->shiv->envenom->kb be better than deathmark->envenom->kb-> shiv? Or is it more important to have dm and kb within 2sec of each other instead of 3sec
Hahaha the good old shiv after kb discussion
I had something similar
Spires with 00:00:00.0
Basically completing the key out of time but server tick being your friend
i think we were trying to test that out yesterday but getting it to work properly was a hastle and whispyr moved onto other things today, he'll probably come back to it
ofc someone correct me if im wrong
Okay 
Sim don’t care about the difference
I just read the article in WoW Head @balmy condor . Very well written.
omw my way! to read the comments
I did the mistake of going to read them out of curiosity and you were right.
I regret my changes
Why is quake representing himself as a gorgeous fucking dog
this guy must be new to the internet
sanity still in tact 🙂

That's a lot of gambit farming. 
plageufall actually at 128
I just read the wowhead article and the comments and because of you @balmy condor I’m going to play assa rogue spec in 10.0.
my sanity would be long gone doing the plaguefall final boss that often
Pressing Shiv gives me the sad
If Exsanguinate let you refresh bleeds without losing damage it would feel so much better.
no because then you’re just pandemicing an exsanginated bleed and it would never not be enhanced by exsang.
carnage buffed to 45 sec is awesome
Yeah true
You handled the rebuttal quiet well, but people aren't going to want to listen if they've made up their mind
I meant it feels bad being forced to let bleeds drop before reapplying them.
it does not. so we can disagree
Tbh thats like the least offensive part of exsang
The guy who said that is banned here
And he got banned in fel hammer
So uh
I don’t feel too bad
FH ban woah


What's the worst?
refreshing during DM
Does feel a little counter-intuitive when you've conditioned yourself to pandemic refresh, but it's also how we've played all of S4 with tier.
Oh, I didn't play all of SL.
I was told that tauren got the best racials for us now for horde side , is that true?
always has been
Faster herb gathering bis
Looking good is a bigger dps increase than the best racial
nah. it matters for liquid and echo more than anyone else
it’s more of a dps boost for them? how?
I don’t argue with mustard
i’m not arguing semantics
just makes more laundry.
I agree but this is the only time where tauren rogue has been a thing so im curious
Keep seeing top rogue players switching to it so wondering if theres a reason
can you make my lawn dry too plz? i'd like to touch the grass it's been so long
for the meme
can you touch grass when it’s under 5’ of snow?
His point is that if you played at a level where you could use any minor gain it gives, you would be able to find the info without asking in here
Depends on the content you want to do. Shadowmeld for example is quite handy in M+, Raid not so much.
Pirate Cow is pretty awesome but assassin cow just doesn't feel right.
trueee
tell key pushers on the top end that dwarf bleed isn’t bis
whatcha pushin bud
i shadowmeld for ambushes all the time. best most fun in my raid fights.
about two fidy
You can Shadowmeld to 3/4 garrotes in non-boss which is quite nice, and dodge some nasty spells.
When i meld i cant use stealth abilities recently anyone know why?
because meld doesnt activate stealth bar
You have to meld > stealth. (doesn't work in encounters)
I have a macro to meld and stealth which works in pvp and not in combat but not while in combat

In M+ works fine, just not in bosses.
Okay ill have to work more testing on it then!
everyone can use the gain, though - if something does 0.2% more dps, that’s true regardless of what your dps is to begin with
There can happens sometimes where you Meld but some mob puts into combat from some wonky targeting, but with macro you enter stealth almost instantly.
Can u link your macro you use real quick mine may be wonky too
#showtooltip Shadowmeld
/cast Shadowmeld
/cast Stealth
alright ill entertain it @balmy condor
ok ty so its the same
doesn’t everyone?
i guarantee you arent playing content where you have dps checks that arent squashed in under 2 weeks
no
See, this is why I like you.
not everyone has dps checks

in fact most players dont have dps checks
dps matters for every guild, no matter what level of content they’re doing
unless the raid fight was meant to be that way
what are you nerds talking about now
(sludgefist)
I hate it here
bro go play unholy dk and eat some beans and toast
???
want me to leave?
I want you to love me


im losing it

this is why i dont leave my little hole
I want you to be happy
see emote name

I love your little hole the most
understandable
someone is saying dps from racials matters for everyone
dps matters for everyone, yes
I mean if your goal is to min-max, it matters yeah
Yes. But unless you’re a Hall of Fame player you can probably get those .2-.5% by just pressing buttons better and save a ton of gold
im being a dick and i know it and im sorry. but almost every DPS check you think you might have can be solved with more efficient play and less mistakes
sure, there's lower-hanging fruit than racial optimization, but the racial still matters
Usually dps checks barely exist for mid to late tier guilds
Its just
Did anyone die
If no, dead
i got CE with a vulpeera in the raid
I hate it here
racials don't matter

you're thinking of this very narrow definition of "dps checks" as being some kind of enrage timer. but dps matters for beating soft enrages, or even just killing the boss before your shitty healers run out of mana
I got ce with a warrior with broken armor
Guess which is more dps my racial or his armor
i guess in an AOTC guild where pumpers need to carry people and you need to eek out numbers
sure
lets maximize

my bad
dps is dps
Oh yeah! Well I got CE as spectator

do you genuinely think .02 DPS is more important than doing mechanics right
We got CE with an enhance shaman wearing an orgrimmar cloak
Bro, I did all the way to 2800 playing broken-ass Night Fairies, much less racials. 
lmk
absolutely not, and i never said it did
we got CE and our officer gave a mount away to a pug replacement.
If you still need .2% more after perfecting your rotation, cooldown distribution, using defensives for damage whenever possible, gear, build, consumables and externals - yeah, feel free to race change
if you do damage to a boss you are simply being a bully and should be exploded by blizzard
Racials won't save someone if they are ass but if a racial gives a certain amount of dps its gonna be there no matter how you play your rotation,not by being a complete mongol but you get it
.2% is .2% whether you've optimized everything else or not, that's my point
if the .2% makes u play ugly choice
Very situational.
then its a dps loss
and $20 is $20 👀
psych urself out
ok well heres what you dont want to do: you dont want to make people think things (racials) matter by saying something like "all dps matters" because its just not productive and we want to help people get better by learning what makes a real difference, like doing mechanics right and rotation well
so yes you're right for technicalitys sake.
whatever. nothing matters anyway
thats like a days food supply for me fr fr
a day...
it's okay to put it in perspective by saying it's one of the smallest contributors to your damage, that's true
yup
But who said is 0.2%?
it's usually 0.1-0.2%
20 bucks is a lot more than 1 day's worth of food
unless you talk about outliers like void elf/mechagnome shit
void elves look nice
so not a bad choice for dps
the racial is kinda niche on melee tho
it's sick for workshop and yard
they do more shadow dmg or something iirc
not for me 
skip that stealth bots and the final boss gauntlet
gotta stop eating gold bars
i'll always prefer shadowmeld memes
mechagnome look worse than gnomes
hard no for dps bonus
thoughts on nightborne
But what a machine tool laid out in a composed programmed scenario isn't enough to determine 0.X% because it's 1 universe.
If by any chance you're able to let's say... Shadowmeld away when your tank dies and you're back into the fight that's a fat DPS win right there that another race would probably be dead. So saying it's whatever % it's kinda meh, so dependent on scenarios that don't exist for machines to process scenarios.
arcane pulse isn't terrible
noo i mean look-wise
uhh
Tauren stomps that save the party/raid, etc.. Very hard to calculate.
mechagnome literal worst garbo
if you aren't into the more beast-like appearances of horde characters
Decent, but probably not for rogue
i play troll so I can berserking snapshot my exsang 🙂
Hyper are you intentionally difficult? 😂
i'd put them below goblin or vulpera tho tbh
both are short in a way that's funnier than gnome or dwarf
I think they can fit being light and skinny for stealth and whatnot but arent they mage people or something
Like ancient magic or some shit
I remember our old guild first Legendary daggers went to a Gnome rogue because, and I quote:
"He is a gnome."
Nobody objected against.
gnomes can crawl inside of the boss's big armour and stab from within
Most races can, nightborne doesn’t really have any rogue-specific vibe going on (unlike, for example, goblins)
Detect Traps
My rogue is nightborne 
Nightborne is easily one of the ugliest rogue races only beaten by the abomination of tauren rogue
perhaps ugliest rogue race, but 2nd best horde race and i already had too many blood elves
have to take what i can get as an alliance refugee
Yo if i actually have to play a tauren rogue for dps someones gonna get hurt
Deviate fish stock too large
Saw some disturbing sims
Actually madge af

Talk about otp’s
I don't get the Cow rogue hate tbh
Its too big of a model i cant see shit
Tauren is shit for mogs
Been playing with it on beta and noggenfogger has been mandatory
Couldnt care less about mogs personally but i just cant function with a model that large
Only thing I found that looks good is the black and gold Sanctum set.
ye this was my problem too
I'm opposite, I struggle with vulpera and gobbos cos their size throws me off.
i mean, both can be weird if ure not used to them no?
I made a cow for fun and to experiment with leveling through the new talent system.
But will no doubt go back to orc at launch
Mechagnome is only real rogue race @honest vessel ... i hope you never win a roll for loot again ever..
go poop in ur stinky diaper diaper baby mechagnome
Is there a way to easily got things to do Duskwalker's leg ?
@balmy condor hi
do exsanguinate work on multiple target bleeds ?
when i use it ?
it only applies to your target
ahh ok
all i have to do is refresh my bleeds on that target before using it right ?
well
if ur doing it at the start of the pull
you should be fine due to IC ramp
but yeah
u max duration bleeds for it
as long as you aren't overwriting an empowered garrote
afaik
by the way do you guys aware of the bug thats not too much important now ?
when i switch to necrolord
and use serrated bone spike
it gets removed after 2 3 second
but when i switch to venthyr and talent into serrated bone spike it stays on target
1 week left for DF anyways but ..
Is there a got to take as a reference for Assa in M+ rn ?
known bug
good morning, if got a question, lets say i fight 8 targets and use carnage. okay all are bleed up with rupture and empowered garrote. should i wait till all garrotes fall of or still reapply it on cd that i have as many out as possible? im curios because of the snapshot. rupture will help with the energy flow why im even more unsure if using garrote on cd and removing snapshots is that good^^
u garrote to refresh duration its not something u just use on cd
garrote has 6 cd cooldown, its a pain to maintain on so many targets
u never override an imp garrote with a non-imp garrote
so in the case of 8 targets you let all fall off and then build up your garrotes?
"build up" just press on cd on targets that dont have
so if you deiced to sync the CDs do you use the 3rd exsang at 1:30 and then hold vanish/dm/kb for 15 seconds for the 4th exsang?

I would say it depends if it makes you lose a cast of not

after our aoe applier in some pulls there isnt much to garrot anymore, like up to 10 targets are easily bleed up. if so i wait till imp garrotes fall of right? when all got it, i have to wait, thats the point of my quesiton
Varas
Do you bother with pandemic for the Ic bleeds
Or nah
What’s the experience on M+?
Actually nvm I’ll check your vods
Yeah you do
Whats the best Single Target Rotation?

check those out
but the basic idea is maintain garrote and rupture, then envenom while both are up, and the rest is mostly different cd timings
This is the go to kingsbane opener for DF correct?
The keys I have played have been to low to refresh a lot
Can someone explain why we rupture and then instantly replace it with an ER empowered one instantly
Im sure i missed something in the taslnets
talents*
you want to have it at max duration for exsang
same reason you're using another garrote
isnt it just an ER crit, so you hit the rup on a 2 pointer
Not a crit, ER generates 2+ cp everytime
ah yeh fair, forgot that
at least 2 cp everytime*
Spec goated if exsang goes away
How much dps is lost if we just fire exsang without worrying about pandemic dots
At that point you might as well just not play Exsang at all
I'm ON IT
That hidden tech
Cev, on aoe, for pure damage as opposed to prio damage, can you just ignore exang? Or do you still try to pandemic dots and hit exang
less extreme : what if you play exsang by not reapplying bleeds **for **it, but instead fire it **when **you happen to reapply bleeds ?
(and have it off CD ofc)
You can likely ignore it altogether on 3+ targets. One of the most attractive parts about Exsang is the increased energy regen that you get from the faster bleeds, but that doesn't do much when you're already energy saturated on 3 targets.
Probably still worth playing around it on 1-2 targets.
Okay that’s actually nice to hear, so you can just hold it for prio or bosses. I thought you had to fit it in to the rotation somehow on aoe but it’s nice to just IC bleeds and CT/env spam tbh
Well technically ER always generates 2 combo points and Seal Fate generates the additional combo points after the fact. But yeah :P
Holding Exsang is not worth it at all unfortunately.
Even holding it to sync with Deathmark/KB/Shiv's/whatever is not worth it which is unfortunate.
Hello! 
Cev you’re looking good today king love the hair
at this point might aswell make it a 1 min CD to avoid the dick ripping at a completely unsynced exsang
I'm so excited to level as rogue only to be made to tank keys in df 🥰🥰🥰


just trying to undertand, im clueless 😛
It just maxes pandemic
That’s all it is
ah ok that makes sense
Just messing with ya, we don't really pool at all anymore. It's a relic from the past.
You're looking mighty fine yourself, getting hotter by the day
I don't even know what pooling means 
no worries the moment I typed pooling I knew that wasnt really a good take haha
pooling = just waiting for energy if you wanna chain some finishers
it is a relic from the past as ceverion said
I realized there is no way to apply pandemic on both rup and emp garrote so I guess what I meant is like open garrote IC garrote rup
IC is normally on the GCD right?
No
No to which of the two :p

Does Nightstalker buff the ambush from a Blindside proc?
sos meant to say Blindside
I mean idk for sure, but you aren't in either stealth or shadow dance
No, because you’re not in stealth
you would have to blindside proc from stealth or dance yeah
a blindside proc doesn't mean you're in stealth
cool, was just checking if it worked for some reason.
Just catching up on rogue info, reading all the pins/guides/etc. I see a lot of Amplifying poison being selected. You have to give up Deadly for that right? Does amplifying just sim higher?
why else would we pick it....
Cooler poison 
we pick the talent because it's worse than deadly and we love losing dps
correct
sin is so good, we decided to just throw a point away
Why we bully
Deadly 
Amp 
the poison discussion is really dumb
its not a problem. I expected to be bullied for basic questions all good haha
why cant more people be understanding like this
it's very basic logic to be like "hey this is a talent point I have to place into something" and then the follow up would be "if I place that talent point into it, it must hold value, so it must therefore be better"
cause if it didn't hold value as a talent point
there's a perfectly fine second path
that has no downside
and we would take that
and like that's not pointed at you Nhamro, I'm really happy you asked and have the confidence to put yourself out asking a question like that
there's nothing that warms my heart more than rogues trying to learn
I promise
but you're like the 50th person to ask something along the lines of "do we use amp over deadly?"
passive aggresive whisper
and I'm like
what?
I just don't get it
I couldn't get myself into a situation where I could see the side of the new rogue looking at a talent, not even class tree, but straight up on the spec tree, and going "no shot this is better than the default poison right?"
my brain simply cannot understand how to get to that point
tbf that's kinda strawmanning Nhamro's actual question
The fuck is a strawman
@balmy condor I completely understand. You must be bombarded by the same silly questions all day. I'm in a similar position in a completely different field. I just looked at the tree and was like Amp over deadly? And we also take 1 flying daggers + 1 improved poisons instead of like 2 points into Vicious Venoms? and I'm like, it must sim higher, but I'll check anyway haha.
I will kiss you
sadly due to the unlock-limitations of the rows 5-7 we cant do the latter
thing in a field
Ah scared crow
well actually no
yeah and I do talk about the reason here
scare crows are league heroes
straw man is the act of building an effigy out of straw, pretend it's an accurate representation of your enemy
then burning it
figuratively, in a debate
nerd
burning man? that's a festival
good thing Nhamro isn't my enemy and neither is his question and none of it is what I was actually arguing against
strawman these nuts
Yer i saw the comment on vicious thats why in my original question i only asked about Amplifying. All good though, sims are sims.
This is beyond my conceptualization
be like that
guess he will take this as a compliment @slim hamlet
i feel bleeds comming
of course
As long as it isnt about exsang

its an Exsang question, hence i'm asking for permission haha
Its always an exsange question

exan is literally everyones favourite topic
no. 1 rogue reuqest was for it to be in the class tree
we knuw it we we all like common type it COMMMMMOOON
Haha pandemic
exsang on cd or on cd
I slowly break the will of an exsang enjoyer
Raging about exsang is meta
True tbh, I thought it looked cool, then I learned and now 
I like exan 😛
exsang is the topic:
exsang is fun, its the chaotic evil of the talents world
Exsang is living rent free in my head
if you wanne play it place a pin upsidedown gluwed the that specific buttom and evry time you wanne use it you will feel the bleed irl you shud try
Ok. U want an exsang question:
Since u want to refresh rupture no matter what before exsang even with 30 sec left on it. And also since we normaly. Finish at max cp -1. Would we overcap cp to make sure we have a 6 cp rupture ( 34-35 sec) over a 5 cp rupture refresh?
atleast a 10% dmg increase
🤣
But mr Whispyr said on cd 
If you have a leftover 30s rupture you probably refreshed it like 5s ago, so just press exsangy
ok I completely understand the use it on CD for highest value/dmg. Cool np.
Theoretical Question. Exsanging gives more energy generation via Venomous Wounds right, so for dps as a whole, does Kingsbane benefit from the extra spike in energy to yeild more dps for that kingsbane window if we waste some exang casts by holding it for Kingsbane? How much dps % do you loose, by Exsanging with each Kingsbane instead of on CD? 45 seconds CD just feel like shit 
I did say it was a really stupid question haha
that reply is posted so fast bro like wtf
Yeah I was like through 1 line and you already replied with a meme even
They should just change the CD and scale it higher 😛
yer 1 min exsang is what i want personally
My will remains 
I want it to be 10 mins so we don't take it
I can't see how Exsang is fun. IDGAF if I'll lose 1000% DPS, I ain't using that shit
but like. what's the actual dps difference between using on CD or syncing it with Kingsbane , and by extension every deathmark/
the only moment it was fun when we where in bfa with coruption and 80%+ haste
this is actually not very easy to just give a number on, but I'll try my best to duct tape a sim real quick
I remember when Exsanguinate came, it was a much higher % right? Like 400% or something, was a blast in pvp 😛
your question though @elfin forge honestly exsang is like an HP Lovecraft villain, there's poor use, good use, and perfect use. But actually working that out on the fly at times can be like staring into the void of existence - And TRYING to do it acurately will guarantee you become a raving lunatic
its questions like that, where i wish i knew how to operate sims 😦
their github resources are vast and plentiful knock yourself out
yeah the issue that even I don't really know how to make it do that reliably
sims are fickle
Syncing it to Kingsbane just feels most fun to me. My hope that the fact that each deathmark and kingsbane get an exsang could at least make that and exsang on CD break even in dps.
oh I can tell you without simming that it's not even close to break even
sad day
I didn't quite get it to sync perfectly, but this is pretty much close enough
oof
ouch
call it 3% if it does it exactly how its supposed to

oh aye, that's more than I thought it would be
220% dps decrease
^
Wasn't it 9%
basically the same thing to most rogue players
basically you'd subject yourself to your own atrophic poison
I'd fucking love exsang if it worked like flourish
Oof size large
uhhhhhhhhh........ this also isn't very easy for me because the opener is hard coded in these sims until I can get the logic into the core
hold pls
No rush, it's just out of curiosity. I ain't touching that with a 10-meter pole
so you're saying there is a chance ;O
no there's no chance
haha dam

its about 34.34% recurring 
Whíspyr have you slept buddy 
recurring of course
woke up 2 hours ago king
Let's GO
God bless
Slept more than you apparently 
this what you wanted
!fuu

replacing exsang with ttb

that's a meme on it's own

Yes. I'll be gimped.
🧢
raw dog me

Chadsanguinate

That's yuge for one point
Exsang gamers for 2 years yey... So happy /s
OO WAIT NO I HAVE ONE THATS EVEN FUNNER

make it stop
Do the numbers change in blues, pre-raid bis, pre-4piece etc? or still just running the same build from hitting 70?
How is it any different?
gear don't change much of anything
It’s just a button you press 
Exsang be out here wearing a TShirt that says "basically a capstone"
Both
like that's with 408 gear
KB is much more fun to me, trying to get every last drop out of it, even if its just clicking your other spells
You can do the same with Exsang tho, max pandemic buddy
cool ty
But that is like 3 clicks before and forgetting about it
At the end of the day exsangu is just : ignore logic/refresh bleed/press exsang. Enjoy 8% damage. Oh and dont press it during d.m
same thing for 250 ilvl btw
that's why when people are like "oh what gear is the sim using"
I actually don't know
doesn't matter for anything
Fuu sim is using bis lvl gear
Okay legitimate not trolling question, did you ever figure out the PB+ CT nonsense?
I did not
inc "!bis" users
!bis 
Don't press exsang during Deathmark?
!bis 
the original "maintain for bleed, if you're in 4+ aoe, maintain it less" logic still stands to this day
It halves the dm
no, pressing it during deathmark is a horrible mistake
actually lets see what happens when you do that
that shouldn't be too hard
Whispyr is on a killing spree
I mean fuu simmed outlaw with killing spree whispyr is just embracing it
But to be honest, I tried playing with exsang+dusk, I kind of lost half of the dps I usually would dish
Okay. I believe the pinned message says they should be used together, just FYI.

Goes way way WAY against my muscle memory
exsang should increase the dot speed of SBS until the dot runs out tbh
change my mind
Divide by zero
4
Exsang is going to be out here in DF creating villian arcs every raid night
exsang is gonna be the endboss of DF
not only raid nights
Hogger coded exsang
that will be the comment line in the apl
We all know the real wow is inside details
True details fullscreened on the other monitor
the real wow is the hate for exsang we made on the way
amateur. full screen details on main screen
Hey im just a noob, atleast im trying
AHAHAH WHAT
it's better to simply not press exsang
Legit better to not take it
it makes perfect sense if you don't think about it to hard
than it would be to press it during deathmark
hollllllly shit
