sure, but I feel like you're arguing that in a niche case you maybe can get an extra gcd or something and therefore more dps. And I'm arguing "just take less damage"
well yeah, its the lazy mans choice
Feels like the WoWHead guide is awfully centered around us having Shadow dance for m+ when it's saying not to take shadow dance...
overall, just being faster is just good. whether its you reaching an add .2seconds faster to get a bit more damage in, or getting a debuff out a bit faster so if youre a bit slow to react, maybe the voidzone isnt entirely in the way etc.
you can obviously make an argument for all 3 tertiaries. its all opinions
yeah I'm gaslighting everyone that's actually the goal
do any of the talent builds suggest dance? no
i love avoidance in m+. i loved leeching and often played it over cheat on fights where there was no big burst damage
do I talk about dance and its potential usage? yes
we now got leeching perma, and maybe getting >10% leech from gear would make us sustain really well without requiring any heals
but only few healers actually play around that, so its kinda not that useful regardless
unless your disc doesnt atone you on purpose or the druid knows you got big leech and wont reju you, it has no impact imo
Is storm-eater's boon a 10s channel or how does it work? I see it sims really high in fuu's sheets on any target count but is it gonna be a sim trap trinket?
So I've been looking at wowhead to no real avail regarding what poisons to use, haven't played this spec since 8.2 but am I assuming right that it's Deadly and Numbing?
nonlethal might depend on the fight
Just general m+ I was thinking
then ye
yeah deadly numbing
maybe theres some nasty boss with big aoe where youd wanna swap to atrophic for
i.e. smth like theater of pain
wouldve actually been good there
that's the idea yeah
Does anyone know if Envenom's instant damage scales w/ Mastery? or is it just attack power and vers?
it scales with mastery
⚖️
sweeet thanks
Already being a faster runner, stacking speed is also a fun way to flabberghast your raidmates
Like with MCs during jailer p2
"Dafuq Space, why are you so goddamn fast stop sprinting
- I didn't press sprint
"
a friend was asking my questions about playing sin rogue because he was thinking about leveling one as an alt. when i told him you cast rupture twice and garrote 3 times in the opener he thought i was trolling and got mad
well leveling sin from 60-70 will probably be fine
i think he meant to play it at 70. im gonna level sub as usual
but yeah it's quite bad to level prior to getting venomous wounds
a lot better now tho
used to be a lv34 passive 
playing without VW for 30+ levels 
teleporting around with shadowstrike is so satisfying while leveling
yeah I'd love to meet whoever made that decision
I have so many questions for them
like "how the fuck do you still have a job"
yeah there was some weird shit
was lv50 talent before as well

err passive
not talent

plus all that self healing
Man sin will be soo much fun
outlaw gonna be nice as well though
with riposte and RB reducing evasion CD
can just pull a shitton of mobs and pop evasion+breadblades every other pull
Thought DB was falling out of favor
yeh but it's fine for leveling
What's ss I'm dumb
shrouded
Teamwork
I got u Seli
Gonna level so fucking hard actually

I'm going to love step garrote echo rup deathmark vanishing people while they try to start bosses
Don’t help seli, he’s a bully
We're rogues

I remember doing BfA progression and getting camped by an alliance multiboxer with 5 hunters
I had one global to get away from the aimed shot or die
Skill issue
The alliance will pay for this crime for eternity
And I'll be listening to S3RL the entire time
Does the shiv pvp talent stack with wound or nah
No
What’s the sin leveling build father whispyr

What if i change your character arc
Ain’t no way
Good luck. I'd like to see you try.

guys ive been unable to find any footage of sin rogue in M+ from the dragonflight beta
anyone tested it at all?
Yes
is it going to be decent or dog? usually i play at a high lvl so keys are high enough for mobs not to be 1 shotted
Good

SIn seems to be the best spec for raiding :/
There’s exactly one St fight in raid
Ok but on how many does st matter 😈
Ur moam cares about st
how to spot a padder
hey guys new rogue here is sin looking fun?
no
oh ok
sucks
feral used to be budget assa rogue
go feral
Don't listen to him Whispyr. Play whatever you want and have fun
hidden tech
wtf is this
well i know it's a frog but why

ok

So true bestie, George definitely needs a new collar 

socks for christmas i suppose

first item is a lamp shade or what
Yeah man
Buddy gonna make me leak dms Smdh
Say less
lmfao
(I sent him a picture of my cat)
So are you just not gonna defend yourself after that Whispyr?
I think he’s busy 
I'm proud of what I am
also this adds another 15 minutes to FaQ
L bozo

gotta finish it at some point
or else the emote clowns gonna hit me with a W8TING in the FaQ channel
This is a great one, don't have it as an emote tho
Great we will get it in 2027
just in time for World of Warcraft Battle for Legion: Wrath of the Mists of Draenor
- Classic
The burning battle for legion
we get to farm AP
but it doesn't stand for anything, it's just a word in the native language of the space aliens we're killing
Oh
The First Space Titan Lords
Was about to say it was for both azerite and artifact 
nah azerite isn't real
because azeroth awoke and the planet exploded into a new titan
fake expansion
and it wields sargeras's sword

The one in silithus
The one in sideofthis
He who pulls out the sword shall be crowned king

Side of what 
the one in side of that bunani
Nice


How am i supposed to answer questions that are actually in the faq then
you can do what a lot of people have been doing
and being an asshole about it so people are afraid to ask for help
how much of a lose is it if i dont play thistle tea
in what situation
like in just normal raiding or even pvp
any reprimand haters 
im trying to find which ability is the less amount of dps lose if i dont use it like if i dont play ER or Tea, bone spike, blind side. I know exsang is to much of a dps lose
you can drop sbs in pvp
what makes it not worth it?
it's mostly the fact that you'd be trading off something a bit better to nab it, and you have to take doomblade without any of the parts that made it good for pvp in SL
PvE wise blindside and exsang are must takes, and the class tree is pretty much rigid
tea and er are about 6% a piece
and there are no alternatives
Plz mr whispyr don't get us nerfed
And the dh guy called them A tier
Yeah
They said it earlier tho
yeah classic DH
Having trouble remembering
We need to learn the warlock ways. Call ourselves D tier
Or
I can have some moral integrity
and recognize that it's a game
and instead of just lying in front of thousands of people
I can make a choice to give accurate information
but yeah, the warlock thing works too
thank you
Glad we’re all aligned, warlock things going forward.
I actually dont understand why people want anything else
Its like they dont realize that our transparency as a class is why we get such high quality tc
because they all have this belief that blizzard doesn't have ANY internal data at all
Yeah man, blizzard records nothing
They love listening to the community for everything
as if blizzard's sitting there watching max's stream and goes "damn dude rogue is S tier we should nerf them"
I mean I think the bigger issue is people always bitch about "oh rogue TC's just ask for nerfs all the time", but don't realize that "oh rogue TC's just ask for buffs all the time" is literally the exact same fucking problem
Moonkin:
like why go through the trouble to weave a narrative and lie to people who know better
when you could just be a fucking adult for 5 minutes
and say not dumb shit
it's the most braindead take you could possibly have as some random discord chatter
"whispyr wants to get us nerfed" nah dude I'm just being realistic
we're at like 97.5k in sims with the majority of the specs around 85k
super sick that we're up there
but we shouldn't be
and neither should any other spec
"oh but look at warlocks, they were up there"
shut the fuck up
when you get pulled over for running a red light, do you tell the cop "oh but officer it's okay, I saw some this guy run a red light last week and not get pulled over"
no
you don't
cause that's stupid
you're stupid
I don't think warlock even has an APL writer right now which is tragic
Classic warlock
they are hiding him
@balmy condor just make sure they cast impending catastrophe
warlocks are updating their APL
I want to see where demo lands since I played it in S4 and giga enjoyed it
but yeah I agree 97k is kind of nuts
how much do we lose to go more cleave?
i love a whispyr popoff
Im glad i incited this
dont push his blood pressure agroaner
Hes 23 bro i think hes ok
Antagonizing the people who volunteer hundreds of hours for this stuff is the easiest and fastest way to get worse TC/information.
they just ask thd, xyro, or kalamazi what to do

yeah warlock has always had the most unproductive class discord
rogues are extremely blessed by what they have here
im sure this has been asked a lot and i know that it doesnt matter but what would be the highest dps for races in both horde and alliance
oo dark iron
Tauren / Dwarf is best for ST for Sub. Tauren / Night Elf for AoE.
why they gotta make all the dragons sexy?
fuckin cow rogues
blizz trolling us
cows look so weird and big and clunky
aestbetic=dps increase
an invisi-bull
go human or belf
@thorn crater Right, but the highmountain tauren bull charge is a stun that isn't on the stun DR so
it's a "knockdown"
but we already got nerfed. remember that flying daggers nerf
stop

bruh 😛
they could nerf exsang
kul tirans have the haymkaer right
so?
i see
step charge is optimal pvp
Hey, I'm trying to get used to the Sin ST rotation in case I have to play it next tier. I'm a bit confused by the new opener. Why do we Garrote three times, and mostly why are the first two builders Garrote instead of anything else 2nd?
why is this
3 times? It comes up twice https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue/playstyle-and-rotation
throw some number nerfs on the abilities so i dont have to take 5 extra ones =]
we're ahead in the kingslayer exsang build that nobody is going to play
hes right its 3 times, he means the one in vanish as well
Basically the 2 garrotes in opener are just really efficient cp generators, and the 3rd one is to make sure we have max pandemic for exsang
everyone and their cousin is going to be playing DTB
oh to max pandemic
we are ahead in all builds
spriest was best single target for SL and we didn't get nerfed
We're a bigger outlier with what it looks like rn than shadow ever was
is it bursty enough for pvp
I see, cuz the 2nd Garrote is still 3CP like when it's from stealth?
someone needs to be #1, why not us? a melee class with no utility to speak of really should be at the top on sims
wym atrophic is yuuuuuuuuge (trump voice)
@bronze steppe extra weird thing is technically you only need the 2 from opener to get the max pandemic for exsang, but the vanish one just makes vanish line up better with deathmark
theoretically you can open ambush snd garrote or garrote snd ambush
but its the same amount of dmg essentially
so tehre is no point
to get confused
We cant die, cheat death+immune AND feint, we have a bunch of mob control which has niche use in raid, and also a raid dr poison that while not always strong will usually be strong
mgiht as well commit the muscle memory in case something changes in the future in the opener
Its going to be hard to not take a rogue
I think they're going to tune based on median damage
or RWF comps
so if these WF guilds don't run 3 rogues we'll get a 5% nerf max
the thing is mythic releases on the same week as normal/hc
I mean its sort of assumed that there might be nerfs even before world first
which means the nerf will come before that
Okay, makes sense. So if Garrote is so efficient, do we double Garrote after Vanish?
only M+ specs will shine before raid opens
No, the two in the opener are just mostly inconsequential you could do anything there and its about equal, also another garrote would overwrite your exsang
Like normally not doing garrote would be preferred in the first 3 globals barring exsang, but really mut or ambush for one of those globals should be about the same like sangreal said
FaQ almost ready
but you can have that one for free
also there's a typo, I know
I haven't proofread
thank you papa
woah amplifying poison doubles up with deathmark and are consumed the same way
Alright, and the two Ruptures are to get the maximum amount of duration for Exsang I'd imagine?
ye
will there be a "i hate exsanguinate and will accept the 7% dps loss to not push it" section 😂
das fair
it's too powerful to avoid
The spec goes hard af without exsang man
i know i hate it =[
It's not that bad lol especially with the smoother opener
When i was doing pug raids it felt so good
I just did 5 mins of dummies it felt fine as is
Even with exang
U just exang on CD and ignore sync and it's ez
i get it, i am just in the camp that it feels clunky to me personally
except ER
can't ignore ER sync
i'll meme on it, but i'll do whatever works best ofc
ER is stupid easy to setup for exsang
Er makes it even easier to setup exang ye
Er garrote rupture exang and you can rupture any cp
who remembers agonizing poison. now that was a talent lol
that always leads to 3-4 which means that if u have an ambush proc waiting u can go into ambush envenom
which is always pretty sick ngl
worse than exsang
Agonizing poison was nice cause I could afk boss
the ambush procs make this shit even smoother
And my RL would let me
just use more mastery 4head
even if u would be energy starved at some point ure not because of the ambush proccs
@balmy condor when envenom double consumes the amp poison stacks does it double the effect or no
Yes it does
envenom x1.35 x1.35
Multiplicatively it's actually more than double
b.a.s.e.d
ok so i might be dumb but wouldnt that mean its not always optimal to spam envenoms if u dont have to renew rupture and shit?
at the time agonizing poison was stupid due to the simplicity of the rotation. with the changes now, it would be an interesting thing to have in the mix just to have it mess with stat weights
like, how fast is actualyly the poison application rate
how many seconds does it take to get to 20
without being talented into IP
isnt that what the guy asked?
You are consuming 10 stacks of 2 seperate poisons
for during the DM window?
Not 20 stacks of one poison
They stack and consume indepenantly
Aka nothing changes about rotation
he said double consume the amp
@thorn crater DM duplicates the spell stack of amplifying poison, e.g. two different icons with independent stack counts
that when envenom'd, take both spell icons down 10 stacks
You get 2 amp poisons
very
Enough to ignore it
without ER or thistle tea you can fall behind
amp stacks fast enough to where you don't need to pool
in some situations you can actually just straight up overcap on stacks
Thats always lame
especially if you're running improved poison on dragon tempered for example
IP:2 is worse than IP:1 for that reason
3 point dashing untuneable
not even worth 1 point
just a path to dtb
unlucky
exsang capstone levels of power
unlucky
Oh , one more thing. Do I still want to shiv at max/-1 CP and spam Envenoms only during it or do I slam it whenever?
class tree is hard locked into the same build in all situations because the entire dance column is the worst thing since toasters in a bathtub
unlucky
slam whenever
what about hair dryer?
3 pointers arent a problem
Never were
Exsang how it is rn is fine
sorry cant hear you over the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
it's a good thing you have to read me then.
u streaming release?
I am
without maple i hope this time
how much time do i want on my bleeds before casting exsanguinate? do i still refresh if only 5 seconds have ticked off? 10 seconds?
All of it. The less time passes between refreshing bleeds and exsang - the juicier exsang is
you have a 30 second rupture? too bad, you're pressing ER -> rupture -> exsang bucko
welcome to 2023
it's the future
ok
i hate it here
we're slamming so hard
Imagine if Exsang was the spec’s entry node
For all specs lmao
dude I already can't sleep at night man calm down
Neither can I
then our entry node would be something we actually use
Tbh I'm ok with the class tree since I'd rather play ER than dance
With how exang works
!fuu
Evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz
But forcing exsang in the tree could allow for more talents interacting with it, like it was with Fiery Brand in Vengeance’s tree

what more talents would it work with?
it has interactions with venomous, deathmark, crimson tempest, zoldycks, imp garrote, bloody mess, shrouded suffocation, and indiscriminate carnage
Making it mandatory is still against the philosophical class design. It is an active and adds nuance, so it adds value. The alternatives slim the playstyle down and in turn lower the ceiling of the spec
Forcing it down our throats makes it such that either another active has to take its place, or we get a dumb passive there
remove DM and put exsang there? yea no
alex trebek is dead agreon im sorry
I couldve changed it to ken and you probably wouldve said something about that too

sorry where?
oh fuck
yeh sure
Probably lethal dose = ld not lp?
Sounds very integral to our whole spec 
And i think you messed up something in your 2nd paragraph about dtb vs kb
It reads weird
I'll reread it
Only other thing i saw is an apostrophe for assassination's in the start of the rotation section
Good faq im sure we'll have more to add in like 3 days
yeh
the dtb isn't fully optimal
but we'll see
tuning etc
and if I need to fix I'll fix
i like the tier set photos
Thank you for the sneak preview 😘

I feel like that got fixed
maybe I used wrong image
yap definitely me
fixed
aight pin cleaning time


Doin lords work gents
now just need to fix the unfixable
that'll be tonights problem
then wowhead will be done
and then sleep in
work
home
sleep
Sorry I’m not available rn
Always a good time:)
same, hyped for release i still need to spend all day tomorrow farming the trinket... ugh
you got this 
may luck be with you gamer
im 333+ kills into this farm, still no daggy. feelsbad
felstriker on classic
i legit thought they fixed the drop chances for the boa trinket
whats the trinket do?
after the first day i got them all as first time drops
main stats plus a procc thingy
gotcha
Wait
waiting
What trinket is homie farming
i too am waiting
the heirloom?
hi whisp hows the waiting coming along
oh you know me
Oh
oh shit.. you too? dude thats crazy im waiting too!
I decided to crank out the FaQ instead of fixing the togglers in the wowhead guide
who needs to be a productive member of society when u parse 99s
because fuuuuuuuuuuuck that
I wonder if ill have time to do primal storms on 2 more guys tomorrow
not having transmogs in wotlk is goofy xd
sometimes i walk around with a sword just cuz it looks cool lul
Oh is tmog cata
I just did it on 1 and sent the items to each character lol
Theres no reason to do it on my rogue really
Because i can also drop some pieces
On the character i want it for
togglers are these things
where you hit the button
and the list updates
they are hell on earth
oh those r so cool lmfao
i stg in sod i never realized that was a thing until i clicked the boxes and i was like "OOOOO WHISP GOT THAT COOOL SHIT" lmao
i googled it and this came up What is toggle code? In software development, a feature toggle is a mechanism that allows code to be turned “on” or “off” remotely without the need for a deploy.
it's like wa load conditions
close enough
hm maybe CN
the issue is that the list behind it has to be written as if everything is toggled on
so the full list is like 40 lines long
and then you turn stuff off
and only make it show for each click
but there are combination of talents that you have to have make sense
so like ER + Exsang for example
if I add ER and exsang toggles
the list needs to include neither, just ER, just exsang, and both
which then creates an absolute shit show
because I can't have "both"
I can only have "ER on" and "exsang on"
so I have to write the list in a way where it doesn't troll the openers or the rotation if you do some semi-weird stuff
and it's very not easy
and very brain hurt
also because it works off of a list, you have to specify which number you toggle on and off
like if you hit er, toggle on row 25, 27, 32 and 33
but now lets say I missed a step with kingsbane on row 15
so I insert another item between 15 and 16
ive always wondered the design behind them
now the old row 16 is 17
cause the combos you can make are extensive
the old 17 is 18
and so on and so forth
which means all the togglers depending on those row numbers
now need to change
to reflect the new rows
ya cos er replaces a mut
so you hae to hide one and show the other
at the right place
cos it's not just "well change the mut to an er"
ending up with 400 lines because there is so many combinations

and then I get DM's like "hey why don't the toggles support sepsis/cold blood/dance/mfd"
and I'm like
because my brain is exploding
this is the whole reason I moved to one big dynamic group for my wa
was a fucking headache mess
yeah it's the worst
probably a good quarter of the time I spend writing the wowhead guide
goes directly into the toggler logic
tbh it may just be better to have clickable for build only
cos if you take mfd ur a bitch
tell them to toggle deez nuts

I think that fucks with the SEO
if I don't include any toggles for individual abilities

hes a guide writer, and a toggle master! what cant this rogue do!
I am not a toggle master
mans not played cod
toggle this 
not enough toggling
yo check dms
ok
Is there a sheet with still existing bugs for rogue
not fully, basically all of the major ones got fixed
those images for openers are sick, u did great job
that's all @verbal mantle
if u pin the first comment
dadsen a real one frfr
That’s a good idea
We love dadsen :whenuseedadsen:
guess that channel doesn't show the message

you clicky the pinny
yep
how red faced are you right now LOL!!
Dark iron dwarf is goated
yep
can just add another message with a Top of FAQ - <linkhere>
I want my monk to be dark iron
and link to the first message
i want my dick to be dark iron

isn't that just this
You didnt answer me in off topic i asked how is gingka doing
im like 5 episodes in
let it right?
that's an autocorrect
i dindt hear anyone called gingka
is that from the japanese version or smth
cause im watching that shit dubbed
maybe he means singka?
brain melt
dunno
Is metal fusion not the original beyblade?
subbed?
Oooh
on CN?
ye
I cant think
i just didnt get what you meant so i had ot search for answers
xd
I thought it was just metal fusion
Not really
Why would i watch a shounen that i already watched half of

I watched pokemon and beyblade growing up
Like that was just what i watched
as a kid
Voltrez?
Zapdos
the guy kidnapped a bunch of them
I dont think i saw that one
wat
Pokemon movies
nice
eventually ill be bored enough with enough free time to go on a nostalgia trip
watch all of dbz and pokemon and shit
And i watched like half of pokemon diamond and pearl and all of pokemon black and white
And i watched beyblade for like 3 series or something
Metal fusion metal fury maybe metal masters i think
Same I watched these 2-3 pokemon movies and nothing else
Latios/latias is the shit
There was one with groundon?
Wait I watched one with uhhhhhh this fucking god deer pokemon or something
Can't remember
They are quite fun honestly
i've been watching some raid beta footage and is Sin rogue the best ST melee right now or is that DH
Dh got nerfed so we might be
that's be awesome although I'm pretty sure DH is still best melee spec in m+ even after nerfs from what i've seen so far
guys, in the rwf its possible we see a sin?
Sin is god sin has annoying bit of exsang that makes it play kind of suck
And of course always remember tuning can change the story
Really? Seems straight forward to me. It is a little bit exhausting to have two classes permanently overly powerful because their theorycrafters are unethical, while being a spec that is, more often than not, middle of the pack.
I wasn't being serious that we should lie about our sims.
you realize blizzard has numbers too right
But it can't be a shock that people are sick of warlocks bullshit
I do, but it's clear that blizzards numbers are not telling them the whole story.
Idk how you can explain aff 9.0 or destro 9.2 if they were
blizzard numbers 
It seems reasonable to me that people have seen 15 years of uninterrupted warlock dominance (except EN) and think "that'd be nice to be for one tier"
blizzard can be smart when they want to be
KB/DTB are within margin of error on sims
Exsang was removed
i like ur hat whisp
Damn i needa hat
Ill take this one 👑
Hi guys has outlaw been deleted yet
No
Thanks
What about exsang
Nop
Well Dime says its gone so it must be gone!
Whisp you the boss 
yeah just add exsang as the third ability to IC
This df rotation is really something
Inb4 realz hacked into the sims and bugged them so the result is close
I mean does it count if he edits the spell data, which then ends up in sims?
technically he is kinda hacking the sims
I’m not ready, give me the blue pill.
we'll circle back in a month
Huge brain
Ngl aoe exsang would go a long way to making the ability feel good
I'm not sure that's what it needs
If it’s to remain as it is having it give massive aoe burst would probably make people like it, for the power on aoe if not the playstyle
@balmy condor how long is it worth to hold exsang assuming DM is coming soon if at all?
Wouldn't that just make it even more broken?
yeah but people like when damage number high
Exsanged bleeds doing AoE ticks does sound cool
Just make it a fourth capstone
Alternative to IC or something 😂
make exsanguinate a reward for finishing the game
What does this mean
you get it when you finish wow
I mean you could try and make it the same, bonus points if you uninstall details too
Big number good
Small number bad
Small number not bad if I can’t see it’s small
Bruh who tf is this guy, it’s not roll safe
we like when number go up, and we hate when number go down
carnage cooldown goes down
wait a minute
We hide our tc from the community and our number stay up
I still maintain that the classes with fully hidden tc isn’t a good angle to take
It’s like conducting research but refusing to publish in a peer reviewed journal, only getting critique from colleagues in your institute
It's nothing like that but okay
Ofc it’s not here
Realz has made a point that they aren't balancing from sims
Whether they did in the past I could not tell you
I’m not talking about balancing from sims or blizz
Blizz literally doing internal tc tho 
Just talking about how players manage their theorycrafting
They do internal playtests and look at live data
They may also intend for sin to do more st because it's lacking in AoE
Is it tho
Yes?
sub is the strongest rogue spec on 4+ but honestly sin is competitive
like sin is equal to outlaw on 8
and like 5-6% behind on 6
I’m taking issue more with the idea that x spec should do more st because it doesn’t beat y on aoe
I think the premise is fine
specs have a niche is okay
The reality of it can be really messed up
What about a case where a spec loses on both or wins on both
oh it's difficult to get right, for sure
What if it wins on a sim but setup for aoe takes too long for that to be a reality in content
that is literally false?
realz even said that's not how they balance specs lol
They never design like that
I think it just ends up looking like that since sim has been behind on aoe for a long time (since bfa iirc)
But I wouldn’t assume it
it's because it doesn't gain much from putting rupture on that many more targets
oh god am i the only one who loves assa but hates the buttonbloat atm?
it looks horrible rn
If sin gets nerfed to where outlaw is on st I think it will be an outlaw (or sub) tier
Obviously they haven't tuned sin this way in the past but I think they should
Sin still has the execute / burst profile, if it’s within error of the other specs it could be brought for that
assa execute is off the goop
The unfortunate thing is if they can’t tune sin to be close to the others like in sanctum where all three specs were close (before frost set buffs) then it just feels bad if your fave spec is offmeta
Literally better than arms or unholy
yep
The primo executies
Waaaaaait
Is this actually real?
yes
I swear both specs have absolutely cracked execute
and it's not even close
From what ive heard yeah
Need to look into uh and arms sims
I think arms is close tho actually
Unholy has omega insane execute burst though
Especially with lust
Are we looking at %dmg deviation from median / mean of their previous dmg or just number during execute (35% or 20%)
Zoldyck affects KB right
Yes
My info was based on like raw dps during execute
Probably mostly
But its like 60-70% of our damage getting a 45% buff which is pretty significant
You know, having an execute niche for assassination makes a lot of sense
Yep
not really
Its good being only on one side, otherwise we would need to spread talents
We dont really know what the future holds for either tuning or spec changes
For all we know zoldyck could go where deadly poison is
In like 11.0
And then they kneecap kb
the 2nd raid will have every boss start in execute range
Pretty much everything depends on the circumstances
Like I guess we can take zold with dtb but it might be difficult to fit other key talents
Its all about the circumstances
