Exsang is like Terminator 2's time travel, don't let specifics get in the way of a good story

balmy condor
#

I mean it makes sense

#

deathmark is a fuck ton of damage

#

you're wrecking your main cooldown

strange python
#

lol just that alone though is going to polish brains smooth

Exsang stonks rising always brings tears to my eyes

"but it do the same damage, just faster?:"

look at this point I'm just looking forward to the sin faq "Exsang: (deep breath in)" section

near valley
#

let me spam it

white temple
#

Was about to ask

near valley
#

idk why Whispyr put exsang as a reason why ass possibly couldnt be played arthaskek

balmy condor
#

the worst part about exsang is I have to do 2 versions of everything for exsang and non-exsang because people will refuse to take it

coral storm
#

does dashing scoundrel make poison crits give energy all the time or just during envenom?

balmy condor
#

and then I'll get wowhead commenters in my DM's and on my twitter yelling at me for not liking exsang

Improved Shiv has always been the more controversial talent. Not Exsanguinate. The nature damage debuff is not fitting of the Assassination playstyle and adds more "clunkiness" than Exsanguinate has ever added, properly played or otherwise.

It still amazes me how it became such a staple of the Sin rotation. At this point it is only taken because it gates Elaborate Planning. The talent itself though is not strong (unless played alongside Kingsbane). Enjoy Exsanguinate.

OH GOD THE GUY HAS ANOTHER COMMENT

slim hamlet

Staring at my soul

subtle kiln
#

just dont have a soul. 2ez

royal lantern
#

It is a watered down Symbols of Death. Just because it improves nature damage doesn't make it befitting of the rotation. When using it, the goal is to pool energy in an attempt to get all your big damage during that debuff window (once again similar to Sub Rogue). Sin just has too much going on in the rotation for that to be a focus. It never felt good to play. This is a dot spec and as such Exsanguinate is closer to its theme than Improved Shiv (or simply Shiv, or even Toxic Blade) will ever be. Its also worth noting that the last time Sin had any M+ relevance was when Exsanguinate was feasible. I could come up with a few other arguments but that's the central point.

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

assa only good in m+ when exsang is good

#

ONLY

exsang is the saving grace of assa in keys

#

Btw, correct me if I'm wrong, but assa was a dot window spec, no a sole dot spec no?

#

Given the old pooling

#

Rup was maintenance, garrote was solely on opener and you'd have to slap during env windows

near valley
#

i want to say ur wrong just because

strange python
#

when you say "was" when is "was"?

white temple
#

3 or 4 xpacs ago?

strange python
#

I don't think garrote was ever not re-applied as maintenance

#

yeah that would probably be true if you're going that far back

near valley
#

back when combat rogue existed?

white temple
#

Garrote was stealth only

#

Yeah, back in cbt

strange python
#

most people don't remember anything pre legion though

#

and if they do it's probably just complaining about tank dps in the vengeance meta

white temple

When bandits guile was a thing

LK is pretty fast boi sin spec at the end

near valley

wasn't ass rogue just literally pressing envenom back in like wotlk days

strange python

pretty much

#

lots of blindsiding

near valley

like literally just muti -> cold blood + envenom

#

SnD to maintain it

strange python

"combat daggers"

near valley

and then press hunger for blood every min

strange python

"combat, but with mut"

white temple

I can get that experience in classic

near valley
#

back when u used tricks of the trade for a damage amp on aff lol

white temple

But anyway, was like that or I had a wrong impression of the spec?

strange python
near valley
#

priests complaining bout PI now

#

i wish i could charge for my abilites atm

royal lantern
strange python
#

truth be told we all did the same thing and had a "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours" policy with the other rogue

elfin forge
#

is there a SimC import available at all of like 400+ ilvl 4p tier? I was curious to try practicing comparing talents in raidbots, but got nothing to import into Top Gear.

royal lantern
#

aka the main reason healer priests cant have a interupt as the only 2specs in the game, is cus they have PI and stuff

gusty mirage
#

the main reason healer priests cant have an interrupt is because RMP is a thing

near valley
#

we can't both be happy

gusty mirage
#

it's strictly a pvp decision

royal lantern
strange python
#

How is evoker at healing in arena? opressing roar? big stun?

royal lantern
strange python
#

can we make REM comp a thing?

royal lantern
#

like, i love how everytime people complain about rogue, its cus of RMP

#

and then ONLY rogue

gusty mirage
#

you can rogue mage anything brother

strange python

call our team "me in the corner"

losing our religion

royal lantern
near valley
#

at least shadow has their spot secured

slim hamlet
gusty mirage
#

you could even rogue mage + third dps and probably get to 1800 if you tried hard enough

slim hamlet
#

at all

royal lantern
#

its a dps, the spot is secured when they do good dmg

near valley
#

well they crank atm

#

then they can give themselves and someone else PI

#

not seeing a lot of reasons why i would hesistate to take one

i just play tbh

one of these days I won't rage quit after 2100 and continue

near valley
#

is aff-shadow-resto still a good pvp comp?

strange python
#

I always intend to pvp hard, but then like I'm waiting for sha to spawn, and then running antorus, and then I gota do dragon soul coz I can't get the blazing...

gusty mirage
#

ye shadowplay was giga last 2 seasons

slim hamlet
#

both aff and shadow seems crisp for pvp in df too

near valley
#

cause ik they nerfed aff in pvp lately

gusty mirage
#

a good aff lock was insanely difficult to play against

#

just such a tanky class

it's Unh dks for me

#

they chase me in my nightmares

yeah unh is surviving their slappy hands go

slappy hands is most fun

I enjoy pvping because I enjoy playing with my friends who primarily pvp

#

I fucking hate pvp tho tbh

subtle kiln
#

oxi never wants to pvp with me

gusty mirage
#

idk how these guys sit down and queue games for 4-5-6 hours at a time

#

but then I remember week 1 of season 4 when I ran like 80 keys

strange python
#

most pvpers are just naturally hype in my experience

#

like natural uppers 24/7

gusty mirage
#

yea they're a good time and funny af

foggy socket
#

i like pvp, i like the concept of pvp, but the time it takes to get better at pvp feels like such a commitment

gusty mirage
#

yeah + like everyone who pvps already knows the ins and outs

#

and some rage at you for not knowing

strange python
#

^the average pvper

foggy socket
#

i got 1800 in s1 SL, which for me is very good, and i after i stopped playing for like a week i felt like i forgot everything about pvp lol

near valley
#

can't really get into pvp tbh

#

not my thing

#

especially if i dont have 2 pvp trinkets

foggy socket
#

there is so much going on, and as you said having to know the ins and outs of every class is a lot lol i love it, but unless i say to myself "ok im pvping this season" i will likely only dabble in random bgs for lulz

strange python
foggy socket
#

s1 convoke was silly bruh lol

dark token
#

S1 sub at the start was too

strange python
#

ER got hit pretty fast

near valley
#

sub was just a pvp spec

strange python
#

I wish I had gotten in on the ER train tbh

slim hamlet
#

Wasn't sub pretty good for m+ in season 1?

strange python
#

it depends on what you mean by "good"

#

15s? it was legit as fuck

near valley
#

better than the others

strange python
#

20? sure fine

slim hamlet
#

top 25% dps spec prob

#

Was what I thought atleast

strange python
#

yeah it was pretty good at top end at that stage yeah

#

it started to fall off as it's single target and aoe specs separated over time

#

while OL was out here like "why not have both?"

slim hamlet
#

What do you mean

#

OL was never the superior spec of rogue

#

and will never be

distant mesa

Evening in NA tho

balmy condor
#

expansion release is not the same as raid release

#

raid release is still staggered

#

also if you think NA gets an advantage off of the 1 day earlier reset

#

I can't explain anything to you

slim hamlet
#

tbf reset days are like 3 hours earlier than usual for EU, but legit doesn't matter for world first

#

like at all

distant mesa
#

It's funny they will release the difficulties all together but not the global raid all at once together

slim hamlet

it makes 100% sence

global release is dumb as shit. sorry not really tho

near valley

No one would wake up middle of the night to begin raiding anyways for EU

elfin forge
#

Hey um, I was practicing simming on RaidBots. I used Fuu's spreadsheet where he has some Assassination sims/character linked. All I did was add extra talent trees to compare against and hit run. I probs fucked something up, cos Vicious Venoms just beat Flying Daggers for me.

near valley
#

you'd say no one would

#

but us EU residents can be quite degen

slim hamlet
#

You know what I mean

slim hamlet
#

World first wouldn't

elfin forge
#

nuh flying daggers is the -0.4

slim hamlet
#

I remember someone from echo was asked the question, and they said they wouldn't fuck their sleep for it no matter what

#

Think it was Gingi not sure tho

#

Never heard an actual EU gamer want global release

near valley
#

fucking it up day 1 fucks it for every other day

copper hazel
#

was probably gingi. But gingi also said they would just adjust sleep patterns to do it on a global release

balmy condor
near valley
#

so you'd have to e waking up for those midnight progs

balmy condor
#

this one shows that it's replacing flying daggers

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

because you can see the flying daggers get replaced

elfin forge
balmy condor
#

and it's within margin

copper hazel
#

oh no doubt, it would suck balls to adjust sleep patterns, eating etc just for a 1-2 week race

near valley
#

10 days max for this one i predict

balmy condor
#

it's flying daggers

copper hazel
#

nahhh no shot its that long, blizz already said they are never doing a raid tier as hard as SOFO again

terse otter

oh god im allready being asked in guild "why not outlaw?" cuz outlaw is boring

elfin forge
# balmy condor this is the build for the flying daggers my guy, the top build at 85,393

Just to clarify. On Fuu's spreadsheet, i click his Dragon-tempred blade link. Just to be able to accesss the character to sim. So yes that is the highest build. Then I added 3 kingsbane builds. So ignore the top build in that report. I only wanted to compare the ST build linked in the Pins, against Vicious venoms instead of Flying daggers. I am a complete noob in simming so my bad haha

wary ice
#

thanks i made it in ms paint w/ comic sans font

near valley

get out

filthy comic sans enjoyer

balmy condor

I see

#

then yes

#

hidden blades is worse

#

you are correct

elfin forge
# balmy condor OH

im just too shit to be able to create a custom sim to compare two builds i actually wanted to compare, so i had to do it in a dumbest way possible of course haha

balmy condor
#

it was a little confusing

#

but we got there

near valley
#

teamwork

balmy condor
#

I thought the entire time you were comparing to the top

#

and I was like

#

the top is flying daggers

#

but if you're just copy pasting the top

#

and comparing under that for kingsbane builds

#

then yeah

#

makes sense

elfin forge
#

maybe its better if you just sim a small talent change. The pinned Kingsbane build, vs this build

#

im just gonna fuck it up haha

balmy condor
#

yeh, and to be fair, it's a gear thing

#

a very rare case where it's a gear thing

near valley
#

btw, ik this is mostly a Sub question, but at higher target counts is sub better than OL in M+ on beta atm?

by higher i mean past like 10

well the thing is that flying daggers is 0 dps right, so as you get more gear, the "extra mut/ambush damage" starts to be more of a thing, on top of that blindside got buffed

elfin forge
#

so since its a gear thing, at what ilvl does vicious venoms pull ahead?

spice spire
near valley
#

readin Oxi's name all i keep thinking about is Oxytocin

spice spire
balmy condor
#

like 400+ from what I can tell

#

but it's very gradual

#

scratch that, it's better at 350 as well, blindside buff be carrying

#

just run the double vicious I guess

wary ice
elfin forge
#

new pined build incoming :OOO?

balmy condor
#

nah I'm not gonna bother

#

next update is FAQ

abstract gulch
# balmy condor there's a reason it's what I put as the starter build :P

oh sorry didnt mean to step on any toes or anything, I dont know who you are or what talent build you're referencing, I play a lot of different classes. Just came to the discord because I'm excited about assassination and the tree he posted was the first I saw, was surprised it was almost identical to what i came up with myself

balmy condor
#

it'll be in there

elfin forge
wary ice
#

dracthyr_shrug i mean ultimately we're arguing over like 60dps so who cares, but the kingsbane build in fuus spreadsheet is Flying + TTB

elfin forge
#

but what you say is true, the reason i wanted to sim is, cos i wanted to see if Vicious is better than a 0 dps talent in flying daggers, looks like it is

abstract gulch
#

so question to the experts: Is outlaw still unanimously the king of single target and AOE dps as well as top choice to bring in mythic +? Or is there hope for assassination/outlaw? Be practical please!

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

so I just assumed you got it from there

#

usually how that goes

near valley
#

i thought i was the Wowhead Guide writer

abstract gulch
near valley
elfin forge
balmy condor
abstract gulch
#

and I was running crimson blade or whatever the AOE is over the talent to the right of it, just to have some function in AOE

abstract gulch
#

but i mean amp vs deadly, its worth using?

balmy condor
#

yes of course

abstract gulch
#

oh ok

balmy condor
#

if it weren't worth using

#

it would be a pretty awful talent point

abstract gulch
#

is it that obvious?

balmy condor
#

I mean kinda

#

if you put a talent point into something

#

you should be gaining dps right

abstract gulch
#

dude, you cant assume that lol

#

at all

balmy condor
slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

I mean I get that argument for utility shit like this

#

but like

#

can you show me an example of a talent where you do less damage when you put the point into it

wary ice
abstract gulch
#

i mean 3k DOT + 350 instant on hit vs sometimes getting +35% on envenom dmg

#

thats not super clear cut

balmy condor
#

the instant damage is equal

#

so it's a comparison to dot or envenom damage

abstract gulch
#

true, sorry

balmy condor
#

and envenom is like

#

10% of your damage

#

while the dot on deadly is uh

#

not that

abstract gulch
#

deadly poison DOT is 5% of my damage

balmy condor
#

Idk the number

abstract gulch
#

when i parse

#

seems a lot higher

balmy condor
#

let me compare them side to side

#

we have tools for this for a reason

abstract gulch
#

so you're saying a CHANCE at +3.5% vs permanent 5%

#

my original comment was theoretically i didnt think it was even close

#

you said obviously it is

balmy condor
#

well I just threw out a number if I'm being honest, I don't have the numbers in front of me

abstract gulch
#

envenom is 12.3% of my overall

#

on my parses

#

so pretty close

#

the question is whats the uptime on 10+ stacks

final tree
#

unbelievable these theorycrafters just assume things these days, never looking at the numbers peepoSmh

abstract gulch
#

and even if its 100%, at those numbers deadly is better

#

just logically and mathematically

#

you dont need to sim

wary ice
#

i mean

balmy condor
abstract gulch
wary ice
#

i will say an overall from 1 parse of 1 person~~ new to the spec~~ who already said he was taking CT for some AoE isnt exactly the sample size i would look for in making these decisions

abstract gulch
#

i didnt say i was new to the spec

balmy condor
#

is this prepatch?

#

or beta

wary ice
#

im sorry i had you confused with someone else then; but i stand by my point

abstract gulch
#

and I hold a lot of top 100 parses, across multiple specs/classes

#

this is prepatch, so you're right there

#

it could be totally different on beta

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

oh

slim hamlet
#

Crisp

balmy condor
#

yeah I don't sim prepatch

#

worthless patch

abstract gulch
#

im not simming anything lol

elfin forge
#

@wary ice @balmy condor Retested it as per Bull's comment. TTB is still behind 2/2 Vicious

abstract gulch
#

I was parsing myself

abstract gulch
#

I'm not using covenants or legos

balmy condor
#

this is a side by side of ttk on the left, amp on the right

#

for beta

#

prepatch numbers are just

#

super messy

#

everything is tuned for level 70

#

and then they put it on level 60 chars

#

who don't have access to half the shit

#

it's kinda dumb

#

but what can you do

abstract gulch
#

but you've got deadly at 8.3%

#

which is even better

balmy condor
#

yeah, I split it out

abstract gulch
#

oh sorry yeah

balmy condor
#

so you can see that the instant is 5.9%

#

and the dot is 2.3%

abstract gulch
#

thats combined dot + instant

balmy condor
#

yeh

abstract gulch
#

i gotcha, i'll have to wait for launch i suppose

#

thanks for the discourse, I'll git it a shot

#

but i agree, twist the knife isnt super useful

#

give*

balmy condor
#

yeh you're 100% right though for prepatch

#

envenom doesn't do enough damage on prepatch

abstract gulch
#

but back the reason I'm here, if you guys will entertain a question:

#

so question to the experts: Is outlaw still unanimously the king of single target and AOE dps as well as top choice to bring in mythic +? Or is there hope for assassination/outlaw? Be practical please!

#

outlaw is super boring, so im hopeful

it was crashing blizzard servers with 1 sin rogue stacking exsang

hello everyone, quick question - sin M+ build I am thinking about dropping SBS for Shrouded Suffocation - am I complete idiot, a little bit idiot or normie if I do that? I was thinking about garrote vs SBS and I have feeling that it would help me shorten the ramp up in M+ pulls.

balmy condor

we don't take sbs in m+ at level 70

probably fine

All you have to do is hit your bleeds again early and then exsang. It's not that difficult....

slim hamlet
#

Not one person has said it's difficult

desert shard
#

it's also not difficult to use haunt and siphon life on aff, or nether portal on demo, or breath on frost dk, it's about it being annoying, boring, a drag, - insert more adjectives here -

oblique wasp
#

I mean, you can always plan exsang, prepare it (as we do with everything in our spec dont we?) and then push exsang button for that one more silky squeeze

#

but I guess I understnad your position better now πŸ™‚

breath is difficult if u press frost strike on accident arthaskek

hey guys weird question, just to make sure: Doomblade counts as a bleed effect for the purposes of lethal dose right?

balmy condor
#

yes

abstract gulch
#

and exsanguinate?

balmy condor
#

exsanguinate is not a bleed

#

so it does not count

abstract gulch
#

no no i meant doomblade counts for exsanguinate

near valley
#

it goes beyond a bleed

#

exsanguinate is an ideal

#

a movement

balmy condor
#

it doesn't work with exsanguinate, no

#

doomblade works like ignite

abstract gulch
#

why not? its a bleed

near valley
#

a lesson

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

so there's no reason to exsanguinate

abstract gulch
#

so this does not cause Doomblade to tick faster?

balmy condor
#

correct

abstract gulch
#

why not? if Doomblade is a bleed effect?

balmy condor
#

because it works like ignite

abstract gulch
#

also same question for Serrated bone spike

balmy condor
#

so there's no reason to exsanguinate

desert shard
#

because doomblade knows better than to be affected by a shitty talent

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

bone spike can't work with exsanguinate because it would crash the servers again

abstract gulch
#

what does that mean, "theres no reason to exsanguinate"

oblique wasp
#

doomblade is cumulative bleed so it can't be corrsed with exsang no?M

balmy condor
#

exsang working on doomblade would be 0 damage

#

there is no gain even if it did work

abstract gulch
#

i would be using exsanguinate for rupture/garrote, it adding to doomblade would just be a bonus

#

thats just a weird thing to say

balmy condor
#

what

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

we're talking about doomblade + exsang right

abstract gulch
#

"no reason to exsanguinate" as if im only using it for doomblade

balmy condor
#

yeah specifically for doomblade

balmy condor
#

you are a very weird individual

willow rapids
#

haven't used exang in a while, wouldn't you probably override the exang doomblade anyway, even if it did work? can't remember exactly how it works

slim hamlet
#

The double tick of exsang would be like 5 dmg

abstract gulch
#

im just asking if it affects it

#

not advice on if i should use it ONLY with doomblade lol

balmy condor
#

yes and I told you 3 times it doesn't

verbal knot
#

i dont get why you people hate exsang so much

and then explained why exsang would not give any additional damage if it did work with doomblade for context

and then you started talking about not casting doomblade at all

exsang fun af fr fr ong

abstract gulch
#

right but exsang affects all of your bleeds at the same time

#

so i'd be using it anyway

#

and doomblade would be up anyway

balmy condor
#

yes, of course you would use it anyway

#

but we're not talking about garrote/rupture

abstract gulch
#

so you agree its a weird thing for you to say

#

lol

balmy condor
#

we're talking about doomblade

#

I gave context on the specific combo of doomblade + exsang working

#

since that's what you asked about

Welcome to the Assassination spec discussion discord

We have a few rules that needs to be followed and agreed upon before chatting:

  1. Don't mention exsang

  1. we don't talk about fight club
oblique wasp

πŸ˜„ I knew it

spice spire
balmy condor
# abstract gulch "there would be no reason to exsanguinate"

aight let me reword this since you seem to be very stuck on this sentence:

Exsanguinate does not work with doomblade because doomblade is a cumalitive buff. If it did work, there would be no gain from that interaction because of it. You would use exsanguinate the same as now

abstract gulch
#

but if it does work, there would be a gain

near valley
#

why u arguing what cant be

I just explained why there wouldn't be, specifically to avoid this conversation

#

this is like some weird anime translation issue

ackschually - from mathematical point of view exsang cant work with cumulative bleed tho

balmy condor

so I got ahead of it

#

and you still went there

there is nothing to understand

balmy condor
#

which part of my explanation

#

is making you confused

#

I can reword it

verbal knot
#

Whispyr is like a therapist for assa players now

abstract gulch
#

exsanguinate makes your bleeds tick faster, meaning they deliver the full damage in a faster amount of time

balmy condor
#

correct

abstract gulch
#

doomblade applies a bleed from your mutilate

balmy condor
#

correct

oblique wasp
#

we're hitting poison levels we never thought were possible bois πŸ˜„ I guess it is just us assassinations πŸ˜„

abstract gulch
#

you're saying exsanguinate does not increase the time that bleed from mutilate deals its full damage

verbal knot
#

Aggy exsang Aggy

spice spire
#

it works like ignite
it works like ignite
it works like ignite
it works like ignite

balmy condor
#

doomblade is a cumulative bleed. It has no pandemic and no lost damage from refreshing, similar to ignite. If each mutilate adds a 1k bleed, they all stack on top of each other. If exsang were to work with that, it would still do the same amount of damage.

Exsang on garrote/rupture is a different story, because you actually gain damage from having additional ticks over the course of a fight

royal lantern
abstract gulch
#

right, and i accept that

desert shard
abstract gulch
#

i understand and accept that

balmy condor
#

okay

abstract gulch
#

then you say

#

if exsanguinate WERE to function correctly with doomblade and increases its damage per second, it would have no benefit

balmy condor
#

correct

abstract gulch
#

which is an issue I think I'm realizing with your usage of the english language

balmy condor
#

I mean you said it perfectly

#

that is how it works

near valley
#

which word exactly?

ember mural
#

But what a machine tool laid out in a composed programmed scenario isn't enough to determine 0.X% because it's 1 universe.

near valley
#

the no benefit part?

abstract gulch
#

what you mean to say is that if exsanguinate was TAGGED to affect doomblade specifically, it would have no effect due to it being cumulative

elfin forge
abstract gulch
#

and I'm taking it to mean if wow's system didn't function that way, and it did cause each instance to deliver the damage faster, obviously it WOULD be a benefit

#

I am waiting for someone to put here the gif form that lawyer anime shouting OBJECTION ....

was the point even about exsanguinate in the end?

abstract gulch

nope, just semantics
