Wowhead on crack then

jaunty lotus
#

It's pretty close to sub but outlaw is still way off

balmy condor
#

yeah so

#

here's a little industry secret

#

tier lists exist to get clicks and views

#

and farm ad revenue

tawdry flare
#

People post tier lists, so people can argue about tier lists

distant mesa
#

i rarely look at those. it was just like please god no

balmy condor
#

95% of them

#

are just meaningless trash

#

neither me nor guy were asked about this

deft vault
#

also theres more to raiding than single target

balmy condor
#

they just decided to swap them

#

because like

#

why not

crystal wadi
#

do you guys think waiting to craft my daggers is the play? or recraft

distant mesa
#

yikes

balmy condor
#

I would wait

crystal wadi
#

also, whispyr ty for the hard work 😄

jaunty lotus
#

It was nerfed though, law states that if it is nerfed then it's dead

hexed root
#

im just going to copy JPC come tuesday

jaunty lotus
#

Like tanks according to the forums

sharp falcon
crystal wadi
#

jpc has all of the specs literally

balmy condor
distant mesa
#

appreciate what you do. just wanting assa to stay up top

sharp falcon
#

blueshell gif is one of my favorites

tawdry flare
balmy condor
#

realz is making it a challenge though

#

glare

drifting cloud
distant mesa
#

its my main spec of the class

sharp falcon
#

sin's identity involves being at least 'pretty good' on ST, nothing is ever promised of course but that's usually pretty reliable given current landscape of abilities

crystal wadi
#

this game keeps giving me like 279 axes/swords/maces, making it real hard

distant mesa
#

dont wanna degen sub and play boring outlaw 😦

jaunty lotus
#

Realz and the team gave us the most funny outlaw change though. Half the forum is saying outlaw got buffed and is busted the other half is saying it was nerfed and is dead

balmy condor
#

yeah assassinations single target pretty gud

#

I do say

#

two viable builds

tawdry flare
#

BORING?! That's fucking bait

balmy condor
#

good execute

#

it's good shit

sharp falcon
#

sub isn't that degen, it's pretty straightforward, with room to control your own destiny to some degree, feels good

distant mesa
tawdry flare
balmy condor
#

HandsUP outlaw haters rise up HandsUP

distant mesa
#

pressing a button to do top dps witha single target rotation and not manage annything is..... boring to me

sharp falcon
#

outlaw can be somewhat degen (my wrist hurts) but def disagree on boring =p

hexed root
#

all i care about is sub not being viable pve

tawdry flare
sharp falcon
jaunty lotus
#

Outlaw is a joy to play, you guys did a great job there

balmy condor
hexed root
sharp falcon
#

"i want others to suffer, just cuz" is silly =p

tawdry flare
#

I just got smoked in 4k

balmy condor
#

sub is a pvp spec

jaunty lotus
#

I just want DFA sub, pressing symbols + dance while coming down from the jump was just... Satifying

balmy condor
tawdry flare
#

hook, line...

balmy condor
#

sin is raid spec, outlaw is m+ spec, sub is pvp spec

tawdry flare
hexed root
#

thats how it should be tbh

balmy condor
#

no

dense herald
#

Realz, not sure if intended, but I’m loving the idea of each spec having strengths and weaknesses - sin ST, outlaw cleave, sub for heavy aoe but also reasonable in most target counts

balmy condor
#

that's not how it should be

upper frigate
#

Which specs can do 100k st?

balmy condor
#

that's the dumbest thing I've heard

tawdry flare
#

Anyone got a HMMCouncil

hexed root
#

im glad you said it whispyr

balmy condor
hexed root
#

because i agree with you

upper frigate
#

really?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

really

hexed root
#

pin please

balmy condor
#

every spec doing 100k single target got nerfed like 5 weeks ago

upper frigate
#

on the spreadsheet assa does like 93k right

balmy condor
#

yeh

tawdry flare
#

cough BOOMIE cough

balmy condor
#

I think enhance has some super rng spec

#

where they do 96?

upper frigate
#

so assa is the closest to 100k st? or who wins

balmy condor
#

but anything above 90 is already really good

junior aurora
#

just get lucky 4head

tawdry flare
#

Yeah, they do 96k or 96 total

hexed root
#

i wonder how long until we get squished again

jaunty lotus
#

I would guess assa can do 100k on some pulls? Would need to look at the distribution

balmy condor
#

nice variance OMEGALUL

faint bramble
#

if i only have daggers would it be better to do sub in M+ and assa in raid?

upper frigate
balmy condor
tawdry flare
#

"Gamba" enhance out here playing a fucking gotcha game

upper frigate
#

for a pic?

balmy condor
#

I mean I could link it

#

I'm not going to

#

because people take it out of context

#

cause they just see shiny numbers

#

you can find it yourself if you'd like

#

but I'm not enabling that behavior

sharp falcon
#

I'm not closely in-tune with most specs, are there many with ST sims over 90? Though from what I've seen not every class is equal in terms of quality of sims either, really depends on the community making and maintaining them -- Rogue is quite good in that regard it seems

hollow river
#

does anything drop daggers in dragonflight? holy ****

hexed root
#

wdym take stuff out of context?

upper frigate
#

so on the class dedicated discord you hold info from other members o.O

balmy condor
hexed root
#

i thought you were 10000% correct with this statement:

junior aurora
#

demo and destro dont even have sims yet lol

sharp falcon
#

also is that Enhance thing the one where it assumes there's another enhance in the party with WF spec'd, but the sim one doesn't have it spec'd, doesn't have to drop it, but benefits from it?

crystal wadi
sharp falcon
#

so yeah, double enhance to pump one of them, must be a good idea

hexed root
balmy condor
balmy condor
#

oh

#

the rings

#

yeah the rings are whatever

hexed root
#

yea the rings

balmy condor
#

stats are really close

sharp falcon
#

i wonder if any RWF players have anything up their sleeves for spec'ing or gearing that outperforms current "BIS" sims, will be really interesting to see

balmy condor
#

so it'll spit out random stuff like that

jaunty lotus
hexed root

4 Restless Crew outlaws + 1 Assassin, amirite ?

umbral rapids
jaunty lotus
#

RIP restless crew, we barely knew ye

tawdry flare
#

Restless was so broken but so cool. I wish we could've kept it in a nerfed fashion

hexed root
#

how can I sim being a tauren?:)

distant mesa
sharp falcon
#

reminds me, in some future patch i should change like 1 value or tooltip letter on unused Restless Crew spell so that when it gets datamined someday, everyone will freak out and think it's back

balmy condor
#

there's a race= line at the top

balmy condor
#

change it tauren

hexed root
#

ohhhh

#

nice

#

ty whispyr

umbral rapids
#

That’s genius

#

Do it

balmy condor
#

do you have any idea what kind of shit show happened in here when poisons got tuned and it included slaughter poison in early beta?

#

I had to reassure people that slaughter poison was not going to be a thing

#

it was miserable

jaunty lotus
#

Add shadow dance back to the outlaw CDR tooltip on a PTR patch, then revert. Watch people lose their mind

balmy condor
#

social experiment

sharp falcon
#

old unused spell that technically still happens to be in a poison catch-all spell class, i assume... so anytime something buffing 'all poisons' shows up, it lists the old unused thing too

balmy condor
#

for how fast you can create a system of anarchy in an otherwise self-ruled orderly group

#

could write a paper on hive mentality with some of the takes in here after a tuning pass

jaunty lotus
#

What is slaughter poison?

gusty mirage
#

old flagellation

distant mesa
balmy condor
distant mesa
#

🙂

jaunty lotus
hexed root
#

wtb flag > er

#

god I hate echoing

balmy condor
#

in shadowlands beta they copy pasted deadly poison and made it shadow damage and called it slaughter poison, as well as copy pasting ambush as a shadow damage spell called slaughter, presumably to try and do something with it

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

but it never materialized

#

and we got flag instead

jaunty lotus
#

I prefer ER over flag

hexed root
#

give me new abilities, not old ones

#

lazy devs

#

/rant

umbral rapids
#

But you want flag

hexed root
gusty mirage
#

yeah I'm so over deathmark

umbral rapids
#

Right

gusty mirage
#

what a tired old cooldown

jaunty lotus
balmy condor
#

carnage is so old smh

gusty mirage
#

also indiscriminate carnage, what a snoozer

#

been around forever

hexed root
#

lets go back to shadowlands talents. too many choices now. AngToxic

balmy condor
#

I mean it is a snoozer, in nokhund

gusty mirage
#

I told you not to play it

balmy condor
#

dude it was pain

#

I knew it was bad

#

but like

#

yeouch

umbral rapids
gusty mirage
#

dumpsters half of IC

#

every single totem pack

balmy condor
#

and totems are immune to bleeds

umbral rapids
#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

so if you IC

#

and the bleed hits a totem

#

it fails

#

and nothing gets the bleed

umbral rapids
#

:O

#

No

simple ore
umbral rapids
#

That’s messed up dude

tawdry flare
#

Oh so what you're saying is... 🛁 🔌

balmy condor
#

the solution is pull bigger, that way you can RNG into your bleeds missing the totem

#

if carnage doesn't pick the totem, it's not immune

#

so it's fine

jaunty lotus
#

Or play outlaw and just blade flurry it bait

balmy condor
#

it's just a ploy to get your tank to do a giga pull

tawdry flare
#

The fact that I literally only have to press one button, to do AOE

jaunty lotus
#

We need the low quality bait emoji here

tawdry flare
#

It should only be like 4 pixels

jaunty lotus
#

It's just a pixelated version of bait

umbral rapids
#

The exsang nerf day was 10/10

#

Peak entertainment

jaunty lotus
tawdry flare
#

100% the shit post level was off the charts

distant mesa
#

exsang builds are fun, when there isn't a billion things to manage

gusty mirage
#

yeah this channel has 3 modes:

#

dooming, shitposting, and talking about food

tawdry flare
#

This was still my favorite moment.

umbral rapids
#

Lmaooooo

distant mesa
#

yeah like I said, I dont enjoy the ability but I play it cause top damage

balmy condor
distant mesa

oh my

Here I am trying to go to sleep, and I'm laughing my ass off

distant mesa

beacuse you stay for what felt like 10m and its 3 hours later

distant mesa

haha

jaunty lotus
#

Don't remind me, I have to wake up in 4 hours

distant mesa

i purposely am here about 2 hours before bed

pallid kiln
#

kind of a noob question guys im trying to test my dps and diff builds b4 raid on wednesday but having vanish as a vital part of my rotation it just messes up my details so i cant get a good reading on the dps im doing is there any way around this?

tawdry flare
#

Raidbots should be able to help you with that

umbral rapids
pallid kiln
tawdry flare
pallid kiln
balmy condor
#

should be able to hit it, or at least get close

pallid kiln
#

ye my problem was when i vanish i drop combat and my details resets etc

balmy condor
#

yeah that's why you log

umbral rapids
#

That’s why he sai… yeah that

pallid kiln
#

ahh i see

jaunty lotus
#

Or reset details and use overall

balmy condor
#

my details hates dummy fights on overall

#

can never make it work

#

logs are just easier to see and compare casts and damage and stuff as well imo

#

much easier to find where you're going wrong

umbral rapids
#

I reset everytime ye

pallid kiln
#

does anyone have logs themselvs i can compare too suseyes

umbral rapids
#

Logs are objectively better

#

But also i cba

jaunty lotus
#

Did they fix dummy logging?

#

Last I tried it was broken and didn't see the fight

hexed root
umbral rapids

balmy condor
#

your equipped in this one had a mace

tawdry flare
hexed root
balmy condor
#

yeh dunno

hexed root
#

i definitely swapped specs and had mace equipped but removed it from the choices on the sim

balmy condor
#

I was simming with it earlier for fun

#

because different profiles are interesting

#

and it kept defaulting to a fucking mace

#

and it was pissing me off

#

so I stopped

pallid kiln
#

can someone give me a quick rundown on how to log a training dummy just tried it but epicly failed

balmy condor
#

/combatlog in chat to start, /combatlog to end

#

then warcraftlogs uploader upload a log

#

include trash fights

#

it'll show up as unknown or whatever

pallid kiln
#

ahh thanks

#

Why don't we take exsang on the DTB consistent damage build on the FAQ?

dim yacht
#

how are sin rogues feeling going into mythic+? im feeling hyped to do actual damage again

balmy condor
vital rampart
rain oyster
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
vital rampart
#

So basically the DTB build is just non-execute focused for ST and the other one is more execute focused st?

balmy condor
#

you take it on kingsbane builds

#

and you can take it for prio in m+

#

but no bleed talents = no exsang

#

and dtb doesn't take bleed talents

vital rampart
#

ok sounds good ty ty

hasty vale
#

Hey, are there WF sims out yet?

balmy condor
#

no

hasty vale
#

Windfury that is.

#

Okay Ty ^^.

pallid kiln
#

if you apply garrote from stealth then press garrote again overlapping it does that reduce the dmg garrote does?

balmy condor
#

are we talking like

#

gar -> wait 3-4 seconds -> gar

#

or gar -> insta gar

#

cause improved garrote lasts 3 seconds

pallid kiln
balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that's a big no no

#

would be wasting the improved garote

pallid kiln
#

ahh right i was wondering why my garote was so low comparatively

strange python
#

Hey so I need help

balmy condor
#

yeah same

#

that's why I go to therapy

hollow river
strange python
#

So im new to rogue

#

Or well i tried playing it back when i was trying to go for all da legion mounts but pretty much i wanted to try playing it since the talent change.

#

Butt..my main like xD thing is..is the class easy to learn? cause like my mains are unholy dk, fury warrior, proc and ret pally and demon lock..but i like the idea of rogue

balmy condor
#

depends on what's easy to learn for you I guess

#

the discussion of which spec is the hardest/easiest comes up a lot

#

and depending on who answers, you get different responses each time

#

outlaw is hard cause it's too fast

#

outlaw's easy cause you just press everything on cooldown

balmy condor
#

sub's hard cause cooldown syncing

strange python
#

Its more or less their rotations are more my taste

balmy condor
#

sub's easy cause it's very generate-spend-generate-spend

strange python
#

in a sense i can easily pull a bunch of guys with them using the talent builds from icy veins (causeee honestly im not good with picking talents) and just murdering

#

I don't really plan on doing mythic raid or high keys,

#

Just general low mythics, lfr

balmy condor
#

I mean then it's kinda whatever

#

isn't it

simple ore
#

My spec is hard because I play it and all the other specs are brain dead easy specs that don't deserve to do more damage than mine :)

balmy condor
#

every spec in the game can do piss easy content

strange python
#

Its more or less can i pull big and not really worry about it when im doing open world

#

XD and yes i know thats more tanks but like its just a general like, i dont enjoy having to burst cds on one or two adds

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

sounds like outlaw to me

#

they don't have any cooldowns!

#

or they have like 6

#

depends on how you see it I guess

steel ridge
#

I wanna pull big

#

teach me senpai

Is it normal to not hit the quick sim dps on dummies? I seem to be able to hit the simmed dps on outlaw but not sin.

pure blaze
#

Raider's training dummy

#

the sim is patchwerk

balmy condor
#

Yeah can’t do that

pure blaze
#

no execute phase I assume

balmy condor
#

Need to sim target dummy

#

No execute phase and it also disables all raid buffs

pure blaze
#

okay thank you

sharp falcon
#

good idea: Feral gets Cheat Death but it has 8 charges, so that u have to die 9 times to really die because cat 9 lives obviously

balmy condor
#

Thematic

sharp falcon
#

cant argue with fantasy

subtle tundra
#

Good

sharp falcon
#

that's just fair

balmy condor
#

I agree with it though

#

But only if the charges don’t recharge

sharp falcon
#

9 deaths --> reroll ?

balmy condor
#

You have 9 lives for the entirety of the character

sharp falcon
#

we HC now

balmy condor
#

After which it auto logs you out

#

And deletes the character

subtle tundra
#

You have to swap boomkin

balmy condor
sharp falcon
#

I'm a fan of a very old OG roguelike, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, the feline race in that game can die up to 8 times without losing, normal is 1 death = new run for everyone else. (It's not a very strong race despite that bonus)

balmy condor
#

Seems kinda unlucky

#

That you get 9x the lives

#

And still suck

sharp falcon
#

they're not like, a humanoid with cat features

#

just an intelligent actual cat

#

so they can't wear most armor or use most weapons, and they're about the size of a housecat so they don't hit terribly hard with their natural claws. They're a little faster than normal and stealthy, so have to rely on avoiding unfavorable encounters and using spells, which is very challenging for inexperienced players

balmy condor
#

So I assume they get stat penalties for not having opposable thumbs?

#

Ah

#

I See

Guide to Simming yourself: https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights

For more accurate results you should always sim yourself using Top Gear for gear you already have in your bags
or Droptimizer to see which content drops the biggest upgrade for you. Do not use Stat Weights sims to evaluate gear.

#

eh, never got big into modded versions, although I did make a couple mods myself and submitted them to main crawl, they just got denied. I think a couple mods used one of the things as a basis to include in their mods though, with a few changes

#

one of the things they did eventually add was spell-on-quiver, which was one of my suggestions

marble hemlock
#

im not a big fan of some of the more recent changes, like getting rid of food i kinda disliked

sharp falcon
#

yeah i have mixed feelings about food

#

i got used to it for sure and i still chop corpses constantly lol, it's a hard ritual and muscle memory to break

marble hemlock
#

was one of the main draws for smth like mummy casters since they didnt need food to be able to cast lots of highlevel spells

sharp falcon
#

well sure yeah, removal definitely had more impact than just changing the game's 'clock'

simple ore
#

I always played bone bois so never dealt with food

marble hemlock
#

think over the last 2 years ive mostly played tome4 as my go-to roguelike

#

the chopping corpses in crawl was definitely one of those habits that was hard to kick

sharp falcon
#

though i do think the association of food with spellcasting and essentially being a significant limiting factor was unhealthy. Huge turn off for new players that breaks ppls brains, to say a game is a classic fantasy setting with swords and spells but swinging a sword is infinite and free and casting a spell has limits from 5 angles, even at the lowest levels

marble hemlock
#

thats definitely true. playing a spellcaster in that game already had many drawbacks and some "unintuitive" mechanics like the noise of spells, that were hard to really get your head around

#

or finding the right spellbooks just being super rng

sharp falcon
#

I was always on the opposite side of that argument

#

By the elite cabal of TRUE CRAWL CONNOSIEURS, the consensus was that noise = always bad, noise values are a really important balance point of spells or other things that cause it

marble hemlock
#

think its one of the main reasons why most regular players dont really try other gods beyond vehumet/sif for casters 😦

sharp falcon
#

mana is the main reason for those

marble hemlock
#

oh absolutely, casting a firestorm in a vault was always a terrible idea

#

too much noise 😦

sharp falcon
#

but yeah, noise is incredibly powerful, imo

marble hemlock
#

noise and speed

#

cheibriados enjoyer based

sharp falcon
#

it lets you control monsters by drawing them off screen to a position of your choice

#

it even helps on the most dangerous of floors, on those insane depths floors where you get an entrance vault, one of the best things you can do is do something extremely loud and then teleport

#

get as many enemies going that way and then go literally anywhere else

marble hemlock
#

i definitely liked how there were a bunch of counters to most strategies, like not allowing cblink or cteleport later on

sharp falcon
#

Yeah I have a nice chei 15rune game some versions ago I played in the tournament, very solid low turncount run

marble hemlock
sharp falcon
#

it was a bit cheaty since this was when the new grabby hands necro spell was still in the starting necro book, and gnoll was newish as well and good at everything

#

but... still, fun run

flat laurel
#

When i sim, it wants me to use Primal Ritual Shell, guessing im going for wind buff ey?

sharp falcon
#

I haven't played much over the last few versions, but I did a greaterplayer run, and my best streak is 10

marble hemlock
#

thats insane

flat laurel
#

Doesnt say on the sim which ritual i should take

sharp falcon
#

I'll stop now since this is pretty offtopic and it's just me and Seli talking here =p

marble hemlock
#

not like anything else was going on in here until now! 😄

sharp falcon
#

2017... lol

marble hemlock
sharp falcon
#

playing every race, background, and god in as few games as possible is the idea, so only overlap a very small bit at the end

marble hemlock
#

27 wins in a span of 45 days... thats insane 😄

sharp falcon
#

learned a lot doing that run, for sure

marble hemlock
sharp falcon
#

can't say I remember specifics =p

marble hemlock
#

yeah, ive sunk a lot of time into crawl at some point, but then also didnt play in years

#

variety is the spice of life, but then im also struggling to get into "new" roguelikes. i.e. i always wanted to get into elona but never managed to do so, sadly

#

always went back to games i already knew like tome or crawl

sharp falcon
#

yeah, tbh when it comes to classic roguelikes I think it's fine to have a favorite or comfort zone, there's not that much more to learn by knowing everything about the games that were inspiring each other at the time

#

variety among modern takes is more valuable, informative, variable in experience

tough ferry
#

curious - for bronzed grip wrappings do you need to just keep ordering it to try get a level 3 or if you supply all level 3 mats will it be lv 3?

marble hemlock
#

definitely. the amount of time ive read up on the wiki about certain enemies that ended my runs at every corner to slowly improve and learn how to deal with some of the super annoying ones... just gives you a feeling of comfort that is hard to acquire in a new game

tough ferry
#

anyone know?

marble hemlock
#

the best bet is always to go into trade and look for a crafter that can guarantee it at rank3, or have a high inspiration chance to get it

but very few items like these are able to be crafted at rank3 with 100% guarantee

hades, slay the spire, enter the gungeon, terraria, dead cells, FTL... etc etc, list goes on

tough ferry

are a lot of these craft bis 100% neccesary or a waste of gold?

for raiding etc

if you want roguelike variety I'd stay modern tbh

yeah, you are never safe in crawl, that's for sure lol

someone just told me they arent available until raid?

yes

the wrappings, that is.

Hello, I was looking at the m+ opener that Whispr wrote and I'm having trouble figuring out why a third garrote after Indiscriminate Carnage. is the third one mostly to apply an 23 second improved garrote on the 2nd target?

marble hemlock
#

yep

#

its just for the pandemic duration on a priority (or 2nd priority) target

#

if you dont expect the mobs to live that long, i.e. when doing m0 atm, you can skip the secondary garrote

#

think for most m0 atm im just doing IC>garr>garr>rup>er>ct

austere moss
#

i guess that's an exception to wasting combo points XD

solar tangle
#

do anybody got a easy and small WA to track improved garrot? i tried the luxtos pack but it dont fit to me. but he did there some sorcery, since i cant only use his garrot WA / without his pack xD

austere moss
#

what did his wa do for improved garrote?

subtle tundra
#

isnt improved garrote just garrote dmg increase

#

all the time

solar tangle
#

he had a green dot on the garrot icon if the garrot is improved with damage

#

yeah but you can override it if you fail - and well, im not that good at assa so i wanted a small reminder

subtle tundra
#

maybe you mean shrouded suffocation?

#

oh nvm

solar tangle
#

ImProved Garrot (50% more dmg from stealth)

subtle tundra
#

#

idk luxthos is good for me

do you use plater?

yes

i found this, not sure if it helps

solar tangle

tested it, does not work .. dunno else

steel ridge

#

great work Nerazar

how you guys manage it? so that you dont override it ? or is overwriting in pandemic range a non issue? xD maybe i think it bigger as it is

makes very little difference, really

#

7cp rupture doesnt run full duration anyway

vestal wren
#

that is because it is a proc that does not change your stance. Shadow Dance is flagged as a different stance, giving you the option to macro stuff. Also, just fyi stance switching is also buggy to a degree.

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

Love it

vestal wren
#

the problem is that it isn't clear in presentation

#

they now added a video to youtube but initially had only a small line mention who does it

vestal wren
#

i think the approach wowhead took some tiers ago was better

#

to have guide writers give their input for each spec

austere moss
strange python
#

Tettles? The guy who said the n word a lot and is still allowed to write content?

vestal wren
#

ofc that wasn't ideal given that e.g. some of the obviouse op did undersell their spec/class heavily

strange python
#

It'll never not bother me that tettles was all over those clout gang leaks and faced zero repercussions.

vestal wren
#

i don't want bad words about content creators, they got a big audience and have entertainment value

#

how valuable their opinion is for a tier list covering all spcs in the game is questionable, but it def. works for them

strange python
#

I mean sure. But it's not like, an unsubstantiated rumor. There were screenshots and he admitted it /shrug

vestal wren
#

and wowhead does like to prioritize their opinion piece

#

i don't follow the scene rly, and people curse all the time

#

ofc it is stupid if true, but i also don't care

indigo mulch
#

Why do people look at these tier lists anyway? In the end people will just look at warcraftlogs and pick whatever seams op after raid is out.

strange python
#

Cursing and the hard R are a bit different tbf

vestal wren
#

tier lists are basically the best thing to get views/attention

#

we are in a age where quick information is essential

#

e.g. the very young audience is now looking "expert opinions" on tik tok

indigo mulch
#

Oh god.

vestal wren
#

where the lenghth of videos is short so you can often not even go into details but just state something as fact

#

but that aside, tier lists give the average player a quick way to see where their spec/class ranks

#

you don't need to read anything, just see "S tier - good", "A tier okay", rest: useless

austere moss
#

why does the article mention assassination's execute dmg but doesn't mention arm's at all?

indigo mulch
#

lol

strange python
#

Sin has stronger execute than arms now

indigo mulch
#

I'm a little bit sad that they are actually nerfing assassination again.

strange python
#

Also the warrior specs are doodie

indigo mulch
#

What will happen is that we will be pushed down to be in the middle of the pack without aoe 😭

austere moss
strange python
#

I think in the context of rogue specs sin didn't need a nerf. But compared to other melee it did.

#

Warrior and DK both look....bad

vestal wren
#

just to go quick through it

#

if you read the subtlety part (sry, i can easier point out flaws there)

#

it basically is tl;dr: "no zul fight - sub bad"

indigo mulch
#

LOL

strange python
#

Broodkeeper screams sub to me

indigo mulch
#

How can you ever compare ANYTHING to how zul was for sub? Like legit.

austere moss
#

it also mentions sub rouges are great at killing things that need to die.

indigo mulch
#

You stacked like 16 rogues.

vestal wren
#

priority damage was, and this is known within the community

#

a overrated niche already in SL

#

just one little example

indigo mulch
#

Prio dmg is w/e in reality.

vestal wren
#

i did the other day sim all 3 specs for a estimate of the first fight

#

and you would think "right adds = sub does best boss damage"

#

you would be completely wrong

strange python
#

The problem with "prio damage" is that there's so many specs that can handle it

austere moss
#

i'm no mythic raider but I remember not having it and struggling in pug groups like Sepulcher's Xy'mox

vestal wren
#

the adds don't survive long enough to make subtleties priority rotation a relevant uplift in output

#

funnily enough

#

assassination however can utialize it well

#

and if it comes to boss damage, it beats sub and outlaw easy

strange python
#

Need the Dausegne add to die asap? Your hunters are going to obliterate it anyways

vestal wren
#

also dps ranking will be interessting

#

beacuse, again taking the first boss as a example

#

outlaw might be #1 in output

#

assassinaiton #1 in boss damage

#

subtlety somewhere in between

#

so if we look at the wcl chart, we will have a diffrent picture depending on what metric we look at

#

even more confusing, the adds probably just melt with higher gear

#

making outlaw worse in overall and sub/sin better

austere moss
#

i wonder if azmon is raging again from bottom tier warrior dps lol

strange python
#

I have a hard time seeing council and diurna as anything but outlaw fights

#

And based purely on dungeon journal, razs too

vestal wren
#

4 target is quite good for subtlety

strange python
#

Kurog could be a huge sin fight though

vestal wren
#

and it seems like you can position yourself well to spread rupture

eager sorrel
#

Having to commit to crafting 2 daggers for sub is feel bad week 3 though

vestal wren
#

i wonder how fast you are able to upgrade the crafted items

eager sorrel
#

20x16's is a stretch for week 3

#

Heroic ones should come naturally though if your no lifing

#

Low-key wouldn't be surprised to see 2h class preference for RWF for the half cost mythic upgrades

#

10 less dungeon boosts is a lot of prog time

vestal wren
#

i think we will see a lot of "benched" people spam m+

#

while the rest progresses a specific fight

#

it just seems efficient to:

  • split raid to get tier + trinkets
  • after that spam m+ to get faster loot in other slots
  • craft possibly high impact items
eager sorrel
#

Do we know toon count?

subtle tundra
eager sorrel
#

Even with splits, 4 set is a bit of a crap shoot. 10 bosses and you need 4 unique tokens?

Wouldn't be surprised to see toons get killed if they don't drop 3 from heroic

eager sorrel
subtle tundra
#

4 set definetly helped

#

but by the time you get to +20 you will have much better gear

if you play with DTB do you go deadly poison + amplifying poison?

you never go instant poison

which is insane

flat laurel

thats what i thought, where can i find a more indepth guide for the rotation? Im unsure of how many ruptures should be up etc

balmy condor

wowhead will be updated soon

flat laurel
#

Because this build u basically want just enough regen to spam poison bomb or am i missing something

balmy condor
#

the general concept is "enough to not run out of energy"

#

and then you either spam CT for aoe, or envenom for prio

#

well

#

"spam"

#

cause you're constantly refreshing dots

#

so it's not really spamming

Yeah i get it, havnt played since BFA so a bit have changed

it's honestly pretty similar honestly

I’m not trolling, honest - but for M+ I’m assuming Assassination is performing fine unless you’re pushing silly high keys? I only just moved to Rogue at the start of this expansion and found that I really didn’t enjoy the Outlaw playstyle so would rather just stick with Assassination. I imagine it’s too soon to say how large the difference is between the two specs at the moment?

do we envenom spam over CT spam in aoe assuming we have enough ruptures for energy?

Idk never gonna play dtb

fair enough

subtle tundra

If I have to play dtb I go sub

with DTB you can then have amp+deadly which is simply superior to deadly+instant

can you get a good build with kingsbane ad dtb ?

I also wonder why CB is not used in the trees I look at. Is it not good enough for Assasination ?

no

you cant take kingsbane and dtb

#

there are not enough points to do it

yeah I feared that would be the answer

The ones above them are strafe iirc

ah

Lemme get on pc

a and d by default are both turn and strafe

so i just instantly rebound q and e to do other functions

#

WASD makes more sense to me than QWED

static glacier

I think by default a and d are turn and q and e are strafe

dense cedar

they do both

static glacier

either way whatever's default turn is getting bound

dense cedar

by default

static glacier
#

by default assuming you don't hold down mouse

dense cedar
#

no reason to rebind

#

who doesn't hold down mouse

static glacier
#

I personally strafe with q and e, rarely ever use a and d

#

only time is when waiting for people and im on a mount, I hold packpedal and a or d

dense cedar

even without strafe

#

always use mouse for most moving

anyone know

im not a degen, cant tell you 🙂

Does it actually cost chaos to recraft ?

normal re-craft doesnt cost chaos

#

dunno how it works with the raid lvl stuff?

subtle tundra

idk

#

i wanna know

night delta
#

I mean the raid ilvl stuff is just an added reagant

subtle tundra
#

cause i only have enough to craft it

royal lantern

@marble hemlock does the 405 dagger re-craft cost primal chaos? or just normal trading mats

night delta

I don't see how it would just spawn a chaos requirement

beware however that for now, recrafts including optional embelishment reagants are wonky

Icy Veins guide says:
Activate Vanish on cooldown. Sync this ability with Deathmark by applying empowered Garrote before using Deathmark.
Why cast emp. gar. right before Deathmark? I thought it had to be cast during DM for it to be amplified?

crafting a piece repeatedly seems to increase base skill

that happens if original mats were low quality

glowing titan orb is illogical shit

viscid spear
#

Also the mats are sorta complicated
Blue Shards aren't hard for an Enchanter to get and the Awakened Order is so-so
Purple Crystals aren't as common because M0 gear usually DEs into Shards instead
And the Titan Orbs are a 4% drop from mobs near the Halls of Infusion entrance

t. Someone that made themselves Sophic Devotion and will be making it for guildies lolxd

enchanter try to get a little value, when m+ comes out and you get epics thrown in your face, the price will drop hard

tthe epics arent the expensive part

the price will skyrocket

same with awakened order mats
