are you asking if the percentiles are correct?
yes
Yes they are at the moment
ohh
i would love to learn rogue so badly in dragonflight but unsure what spec are the easyest to level with from 1-70 also raiding spec thinking to mostly focus on raiding
Yeah and people are still getting tier/etc.
sin rogue is in the bottom quarter of logged specs
sin = assasination ?
Love me some ass rogue
what spec would you recomend for a noob rogue like me to level and raid as ?
I would play outlaw if you are leveling and in my opinion, probably the easiest
ok
can someone explain why I keep seeing guides say to use vanish after marked for death? I'm not seeing the purpose
guides shouldn't be recommending MfD
you're reading bad guides
unless this is some kinda PvP question
all the specs are fun tbf in their own right
meant deathmark
ah
silly similar names
Empowered garrote duration
do the rogue spec look stronger with 2 and 4 set bonus ?
assuming im attacking an 8 target pack, after i open with Indiscriminate carnage and dot with both abilities, how far into the timer of those garrotes do i start reapplying the weaker version? m+ build from icy veins
oh so you deathmark and then garrote? i thought you applied bleeds first and then did deathmark
I agree but I have that and the cct trink so I do with what I got lol
well
the first garrote should be running out soon
and then future DMs
you will wanna ahve empowered garrote up for DM
and only way you will get it again is with Vanish
Your first garrote will have like 8s left so you vanish soon after and pandemic the empowered one
I felt your pain
i see
like the
I’m fairly sure you let empowered garrote fall off before you reapply non-buffed garrotes
uh
I felt your pain so hard I used a horn of valor at 376 even though it was a 2k dps loss
assa

ur talking about the cursed times
we don't speak of those
I love the cursed times
still out there wearing ur twitching eyeball I bet
You cast garrote on 3 targets in M+ and do 100k dps even if you AFKd
And I miss haste build with galecallers
Shit I've played sin since BC I remember everything lol
The best of times the worst of times
you get 3 gems
so in all 3 slots
it doesn't want an agi gem?
bizzare
idk bout that
can ask a tc I guess
I do as the sim guides
i am also unique equipped
i mean still
shouldnmt mast crit be higher
though agi haste is only 20 dps under mast haste XD
When u r playing the KB+IC build and the tank is only pulling one pack at a time
Carefully
ait. thanks
Maintain bleeds on enemies+keep slice and dice active by occasionally pressing envenom
i just got hard flamed by monk for playing assa in m+
what key?
HoV
how high?
16
We're falling in the tier lists 😔
Fuckem

Echo is going to be the most geared World #2 guild this tier.
Because mythic has yet to see an echo player.

Ic or kingsbane m+ build. what do yall recommend?

if i recraft wrappings over fang is there a chance the dagger drops in rank?
With the new buffs to shield amount on rasz mythic I 100% believe echo doing so many splits + m+ is a very good decision too
Cant wait for mythic tomorrow
Surely
@marble hemlock any chance ure online for some lil recrafting XD only if ure not busy ofc
Why do we want crafter wep in off hand and not main?
If it’s our highest ilvl we should use in main right?
U use the same weap in assa
So if you dont have better ilvl u put crafted in mail
Main hand
Otherwise best ilvl in main
how much haste do u guys rock with
i got 28% crit and 54% mastery but i feel like i cant enough abilities off to make it worth it
4% haste
Sounds good to me
I have also been catching fire in M+ for not being outlaw 😡
I Play assa in raid and sub for m+ works well
I do the same ^
That was what I wanted to do
But cba
Sin is more fun and very close in dmg
when im the one playing it
And sub for council. Can compete with outlol
Sin is goood on council
Bertter than expected
Y im better with sub in aoe. Just prefer it. But that’s a decision you can do by what you like to play in different situations. All specs work well
Oh fuu Said it
Agreed! Rogue has the best developers
Hi, do you know some blacksmith able to craft primal molten shortblade with diamond quality ?
is work orders own realm only?
Outlaw feels more fun to me now but sin always feels like the more reliable prog spec
And sin blasts razzy shields
idk
Even if it sucks on the add phases
how good is manic grieftorch ?
extremely
best one the raid can drop ?
for us manic and technique are our 2 bis afaik
gotchu ty guys ❤️
hello guys, i have a question
im only doing m+ and im not pretty sure which build to use
preferrence
Best when used correctly is KB + IC build
But DTB build is a much easier build if you jsut wanna chill and blast
dtb has more st damage and a bit weaker aoe, but IC pumps aoe and has less st
Is how i see it
But
KB
fair point
Muh prio dmg
"I'm here to chew bubblegum and fuck and I'm all outta gum" - KB enjoyers
The worst thing is that kb + ic doesnt have pb in my opinion, i love pb
Ahah lovely quote
There is a danish quote much like it
enlighten
thanks guys
"I came here to drink milkshake and fuck ladies, and I'm almost done with my milkshake"
Was in live tv
Pretty epic

I wish we had better content in the states
boyz, anyone has a stream link for assa rogue m+ gameplay? idc if farming +2 keys, i just would like to see some
yes
Im a long time sin rogue.. this xpac been playing outlaw.. Sin still competitive tho from I can see?
Perhaps the best spec tbf
Sin? in both M+ & raid content? I always remember having a tough time in m+ with Sin specifically with trash boss DPS was never an issue
is it better with talents now?
!whispyr

If you aren't pushing bleeding edge, it is still good in M+. Outlaw and Sub have some strengths there that it lacks
But more than makes up for in being a single target machine gun
Both
ahh abandon the middle of the tree and do both sides
kb+ic imo has more m+ value
but like
im not a bigbrain m+ genius, so take my opinion not for 100% 
Kb+ic is good because if you can take down a target before it’s a threat it’s so much easier
Thing is.
You can be presented with the facts, and (no meme meant) skill issue determines it’s not in sofo a gain. I ran Necrolord in raid because my brain couldn’t process flag windows while doing call outs. So my numbers were higher on a suboptimal build.
In the end, the facts and builds can be presented to you, but you’ll have to draw your own conclusions. Which is why there is often not a definite answer attached to these things
whats the preferred craft after Elemental Lariat?
dagger + bronze grip
thats true. whats the best pet?
Kb+ic makes me stressed
George?
Why?
DTB is M+ is more work
Sometimes I hold IC because the pack is too small and I’m hoping the tank pulls more but they never do 
its very possible to perform better with a suboptimal build/spec that ur good at than to try and play the meta/optimal build/spec ur bad at
Or they pull after I press IC
best pet for the dps, and also pvp i wanna stomp rogues?
its not uncommon, people just dont do it cos they thing meta = best even if theyre terrible at it
No matter how often I answer this question, it's still the question I'm asked more than any other. Often I'm asked it right after answering it. I hope this answer is more complete.
i was referring to this 
That’s fair. A CD oriented build, deciding when to use is hard.
It’s either that or doing the tab n stab decision making in DTB
That’s one of my biggest weakness tbh rn. Deciding when to spread more bleeds or just envenom
I can say I’ve never seen this
Holy heck
Both have unique challenges to them
travesty
did anyone get that necklace with the 3 sockets and the passive?
i gues most people here?
what is the name again?
elemental lariat
couldn't find it and i want to get it made
cheers
Whats the highest lvl you can make it atm, 405?
oh yeah i agree 100% that playing a meta build sub-optimally is probably worse than playing a build you can play well. Unless that meta build is absolutely broken.
like ive always hated shadow dance and then they worked it into outlaw and its taking me a really long time to muscle memory it into a rotation

on deathmark do i reapply garrote and rupture before it goes out?
reapply rupture in pandemic and only hard reapply garrote with improved
Doesnt matter
Deathmark only does something while deathmark is on
so after opener i just let my garrote run out insted of reapply it?
There is no snapshotting besides exsang in the game
ah
ok then i can try improve my parse a bit more, i been reapplying garrote and rupture just before deathmark vanish, i thout it still gave double value as long i used it before it expired
Nope

hi everyone I have quick question - I have algethar puzzle box when do I pop it, considering the casting time etc?
before dm
For heroid council should i go the mythic + dtb build?
Key lvl? I mean it largely depends on your comp and routing
I give my example - +12 algethar academy I had overall 63.0 K
OR is the KB+IC the way to go there?
ALWAYS KB IC
sub is the way to go for council
WRONG
Yeah but i dont wanna learn a diff spec for it, i think kb ic sounds good tbh
Huge 30s burst swells seems nuts

so guys how are you
I'm fine varas
im doing good, learning a lot which is cool
Look at wowhead guide for council for sin
There is a completely different build for council which seemed crisp for me at least
trinket is actually painful
ohh?
And seems like everyone is basically using it on logs
kk leme go look actually ty for info
You’re right, at least puzzlebox does damage for it’s time 
I played like shit and forgot to press cooldowns on normal primal council but managed to parse 99 KEKW
yeah puzzlebox is insane but at the same time casting a trinket feels like shit
how much u guys simming for
if u are above 390-395
@subtle tundra are u geared boi
Anyone got a build to share they had success with on hc/myth council as assasin?
64k st
Any ideas for what the % difference between raid execute and sustain builds is?
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
thanks!
i mean if i had a wep its not super far behind
but maybe sin with 418 would be doing 69k

I'm at 66k
whats ur ilvl
393
Maybe silly question, but should I Vanish - Garrote - Deathmark, or Vanish - Deathmark - Garrote? Or does it not matter?
i see
dm vanish gar
Thank you 🙂
that's to make sure you duplicate a full duration garrote yeah?
So ?
well more cp good
yeah but you get the CP either way?

or do you get CP for the duplicated garrote?
I mean if you vanish dm gar
you get 5 cp
and finish
if you dm vanish gar you get 5cp
and finish
and then gar again
so you finish again
there's something i'm missing
why 5?
1 from gar 2 from shrouded, 2 from duplicate shrouded
there's something basic i odn't know i feel like
ok so you get cp from duplicated gar
that's what i was missing :)
you don't
is this new? which build?
you only get cp from shrouded
yeah ok
is thsi for the DTB build?
it's just shrouded

Hey Does the Quality of the embellishment affect how much damage it does on the Crafted dagger ?
so ideally you want to always dm-vanish-gar-rup?
no
alredy have rupture going
sure
again, this is no exsang right
for the m+ kb + carnage build, is exsang best used on prio targets / bosses?
would it copy it full duration or just copy current remaining duration?
DM just dynamically updates with current bleeds
duration irrelevant
you dont need to apply bleeds aFTER deathmark i dont believe
so whatever duration is on my current bleed is gonna deathmark's bleed duration?
(this is probably really stupid but i didn't look into sin till yesterday
)
the bleeds aare duplicated while DM is active when DM is over the duplicated bleeds fall they dont finish their duration. So the rupture timer is irrelevant as long as it lasts the entire DM length
what's the rotation for AOE once rupture and garrote end? asuming ID is on CD
FoK and CT over 6 targets or envenom under 6 i think. in terms of keeping bleeds up IDK if their is a magic number, kinda what youre comfortable with but wouldn't think more then 2-3 targets?
Mythic+: Dragon-Tempered Blades is the m+ to go for atm?
They both are good the KB + IC build brings a aoe silence which is really nice
but technically yes DTB is better
for dmg

2nd boss DOWN
warr
have 4 set
getting 418 crafted weapon tomorrow
why are u guys trying so hard on 20s
should i be going for max combo points on envenom? especially on single target i feel like i'm waiting for an entire garrote duration just to get 3 mutilates in because i have no energy
all dungeons but cos and shadowmoon are so hard
shadowmoon is bed time
freest key
No… unless playing with deeper stratagem or something, you don’t want to overcap CP’s. So 3 mutilates with 0 crits would already overcap.
got whetstone 😎
I do have strategem currently, should I not? also possible my poisons are jsut not applying reliably so venemous wounds ist actually kicking in
shadowmoon is the easiest i heard
my friend timed a 21 already
exactly what i said
oh
finish at 5 with deeper
kek
hf
i just started tanking on my warr
instead of playing with guardian
made keys 10x easier
in any case i guess its ok to use finishers at less than max points. seems like they all do the same damage per point so its really just a question of if one more builder is worth the gcd?
thats why you finish on 5
yeah, starting to put the pieces together. im coming from playing 2h frost since forever so its not natural for me to need more then 3 brain cells
Frost needs decent brain cells when coming to the end of breath
Oh no
I can do a 3 star take it or leave it
that JC trinket mean anything to us?
Which stats do I put on lariat if I still want to play some outlaw ? I guess crit gems so I have crit procs in both specs ? And crit mast or crit vers stats for the missive ?
BOOGY DOWN
that's the most cursed thing i saw this week
"Weekly no leavers" 😄
Least you finished.
You finished this how tf
Lariat only procs the secondary stat on the gems.
not yet
Last boss was disgusting even in 17
thats where we are
Yeah that boss is cancer. Go kill thing all the way over there, but if you walk towards it, you slow down.
assa and outlaw
no way
2nd boss also insane
God speed stinky
thats a double healer angle
and you fight it for 6 min
Pretty soon ur gonna be on that Koreans stream
my guildies tried to a 20 ruby life pool
you can do that
spent like 1-2 hours and gave up on second boss
easily
rlly
you play 2 healers
This about to be you
on all bosses
You made it past 1st boss?
Damn
Guys, regarding simming, if im raiding most likely, what talents am i going for?
or do i seperate my items for single target / aoe raid fights?
Whichever sims higher (you can compare in “top gear”)
You have many combos you can test
I mean, im just curious about what talents i need to choose, is it going to suggest in top gear?
in this case i got a world drop, but im most likely a raider, so idk what to go for haha
aight ill check it out
if you're raiding you would use the single target trees
Yes, cheers
@subtle tundra do you run KB IC faq build ?
yes
Which lariat stats/gems do you got ? 🤔
sophic devotion enchant is only for the rich
how did you craft 418 already?
did it drop in m+?
+16s drop the mythic infusion mats
guaranteed?
aah

19 ruby
we had 1 18 ruby and 2 19 ruby today
literally the way to do 20 is 2 chest any 16, get 18 cos/burial, 2 chest it and then get 20 of the other one
for any non sweat full meta comp
yeah i mean did u get a 18 cos/burial
but i honestly think like
if the 20 is an Academy, Ruby or Temple depending on what ur playing the bosses are literally impossible
💀
my mastery is ridiculously high (34%). is there a cap or the higher the better?
To the moon
No caps, just sim what’s best
And 34 isn't ridiculous
Inb4 nerfs so bad 
any idea how hard this resounding clarity nerf hits?
I take that nerf
seems like a pretty light touch overall
Goodbye 3rd animacharged combo point 
Blizzard hates rogues??
I wonder which animacharged point is going away though, the 2cp?
You know people gonna roll in here with it as a serious question
Might be random
random id imagine
I read that too. But I’m also stupid. Could be random
Honestly 3% still leaves sin near the top im pretty sure
Arms warrior buffed btw 
Yeah it does
Yeah arms legit garbage rn
Like
Kit stinky, damage stinky
ER is prob the change that's most likely to impact
Damage is not stinky on that spec 
???
I mean it’s the only change. Everything else is just 3% less
You’re lit my friend
are you talking about pve lmao
arms is cursed until .5
This isn’t a warlock channel sir
Fatal Concoction changes things for DTB though?
Didn’t they nerf poisons
Fury set seems a bit too much though, we haven't even see much of the set live, it can be pretty brutal
They nerfed fatal concoctions yeah
Fury 4 set was about 1/4 as powerful as our 2set
is it panic time
But for PvP sounds like Deathmark got hit hugely

where are notes?
Yeah Fury base dps is also pretty damn strong by itself already
So how bad is the 3% nerf you guys think?
ty
A little less than 3%
Didn’t nerf autos buddy. Get woke
Not bad tbh, pvp is worse. ER and Fatal is bigger tbh
True also enchants and phial and trinkets
I’m actually brain dead
!!!!
Yeah so it’s legit less than that.
The other stuff may effect, and will. But let’s be real.
This was a very light hit across the boards
I wonder if this changed anything especially to DTB
the ER change seems somehwat short sighted imo, like, it will make using ER just feel more bad again
Rogue was eating good
this was a nerf to simply close the gap between Rogue and other classes, not cause Rogue to be usurped.
oh I know
Though MM may rise to be best overall spec this tier with the slight hit. It's already pretty competitive.

Probably still will be eating too good
you got something to say bud?
They're just making our capstones worse and worse. ER was 3 animacharged points for so long...
Back to KB
3% nerf too tho
I didn't even like ER as a capstone though
Nah man love u
Why can't we be at the top 😭
Bro
We still will be
their aoe slaps hard though
by a large margin?

hello?
I'm joking lmao
its a fkng 3% nerf
We almost certainly still are ain’t no way
dude, you saw HOW HIGH rogue was at the top right
hahahahaha
God damn
and people go full doomer
I hate this place
Mio did this
aaah gottem
@spice spire hi king
of what could it be
Rat moment
Greetings
we bing chillin there
hello oxi
❤️
okay then go back
old boomers already asleep lol
my only real concern is that the ER change seems stupid cus you cant gurantee a 2cp ER now, but like, the rest it 300% justified lol
As an assassin one trick, how do you feel about these nerfs mister Zac?
i feel 3% weaker
Didn’t know they nerfed white hits too 🤨
Wat
hello @midnight mist
please let varas be the only doomer ty
did somone allready spam ping whispyr with FIX SIMS WE GOT AN UPDATE, ITS 10MIN OLD AND YOU DIDNT UPDATE YET????
lmao
😂
Fix sim SMOrc
omg rogue dead everybody abandon ship 

Roughly 5% nerf it’s fine sin is still good 
3% aura
1% from FC on DTB builds
1%ish from the RC nerf
We’re on slow mode until the crying stops. If you’re this angry over a video game maybe take the 10 minutes to re-evaluate your priorities and focus on constructive and productive messages, rather than creating incoherent noise in the form of your unfettered rage. It’s a Friday night and the moderators have lives too, spending it in here telling people to stop whining isn’t it.
Hey @gusty mirage
time to reroll boys
sheesh you're not in slow mode yet ?
Arms warrior mega buff I’m already on the way

We’ll see how the next hour goes
all ranged got adjusted so they can be stacked and do the most dam
Lemme check outlaw rq
thoughts and prayers
but man, not having a guranteed 7cp rupture on the opener will suck HARD
just play fire mage the protagonist
IS IT DEAD?
Naughty little doomsayers get slow moded
super dead
mainly mad build diversity gets shafted
That’s valid
ig KB exsa gonna better than dtb no exsa
#off-topic for warlock propaganda 
Seems to me, they like the balance between all rogue specs and don't want to tip that balance. So a - mostly - universal nerf that isn't going to see us at the bottom of any list
That 30% DM nerf in PvP though, whoooooooooooof boy, sophisticated balancing at its finest
with dtb in rotation, do you want to use vanish before or after deathmark?
It'll always come off CD after deathmark
i like how arcane didnt get touched at all 
litearlly the first balance change, chill
feel like i read somewhere to do vanish garrote first but couldnt understand why since youd need to garrote again once DM was up
arcane got their trinket nerfed
here's to hoping
i wish all tanks who chain pull in combat so i cant go back into stealth a kind fuck you
What do you guys think about this trink? In M+ it's always 6%+ of my damage
More nerfs incoming
@balmy condor you can't get a reset off, can you? 
Not until like mid January probably
Feels like that's a weekly occurrence at this point
It’s good
Merry Christmas from Blizzard, I guess
Do these nerfs impact one build harder than the other or is it a 5% for both more or less?
Wait.
is there an issue with copying out the build strings from the FAQ?
Imagine your spec is so good that some teams run 3 of them
And the WoWhead raid DPS tier guy places us as the worst spec for Rogue below even Sub
?_?
Sometims you have to leave the page or like scroll a bit for it to work
I'm about to flame Dratnos and Tettles
ty
IK obvs you can't really tell yet, but what are your predictions for DTB vs Kingsbane in ST situations?
You reckon DTB will still edge out?
did pretty in Cos+5 as outlaw with that trink
hmmm... for some reason it does more dmg in outlaw than sin
find weakness
with sin is about 6.5%
Trinket isn't that crazy. Remember it's not mainstat so it has to do a lot of damage with its on-use to makeup for that.
It's very good
Balance between the two won’t change
But not in need of a nerf or anything
oh i see
👍👍
mine is usualy 6%-6.5% with these stats
so in m+ with dtb how many people do I want to rupture in lets say a 5 enemy pull
(if this doesnt belong here mb)
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Enough to have energy
oh so its more so for energy gain and not raw damage?
i wanna cry
On a side note, what have you been running/ enjoying more. DTB (with or without exsang) or Kingsbane?
Yeh kinda
Time to reroll
In what content
no not at all
oml thanks I was mistaken this whole time
KB build doesn't take fatal? Why wouldn't it change?
Both I guess, raid and M+
Because a 5% weapon poison damage nerf ain’t moving a needle homie
idk the ilvl of ur trinket
Well sure. But nerfing DTB and not nerfing KB should bring them closer together at least a little
Okay, does closer = changing the overall meta?
379
Well no, but the wording is what threw me off. Mb
They nerfed Rogue and haven't fixed the Shadowstep bug yet?
ty blizz
what's the shadowstep bug
why they nerf aoe for assa ffs
only 5% including the ER nerf?
nerf single target, why fucking reduce all our abilties
Yeh around there
Y
Going from 2 shadowsteps to 1. Rogue learns it and unlearns it at the same time switching specs.
you relog and you "learn" it again. have had to do that a few times in raid lol
I found some NS bug, so well sub and outlaw can get some back
I found a stupid way. I created a "third" spec without Shadowstep. So now I change to that third one then the one I want, atleast prevents the logoff..
hm, smart. might do that
i don't understand
I feel like I got robbed of a combot point
im a bit sad
I’m sorry king 
IRL Pickpocket
when you go from 2 to 1, instead of simply unlearning the 1 charge of step, instead you "learn" step but then you "unlearn" the "charge" of step which reduces your charges to 0 even though you know step.
oh what
lmao
when you hit the 2 cp animacharged with low energy feels diff
same thing if you go from 1 to 1 but swap from class -> spec or the other way
You literally have a talent point you can't use lol.
you "learn" step first, but then "unlearn" it. the ordering is wrong for Rogues.
that sounds weird i need to see it to understand it fully i think
that's hilarious tho
is there a workaround or you're just fucked?
have you noticed that we always get the "learned a spell" animation any time we log on??
that's Step
I made a third step without shadowstep.. it works but.. kinda annoying
Resounding clarity probably still better than reverberation?
don't think sims are done yet
I don't get that blue combo point nerf either..
What do you think they will ultimately do with exsanguinate? Replace it? Feels bad when inhave to take it as a talent
Wasn't there anything else they could have picked instead of the fun stuff?
combine it with IC is what i think they may do
ye it messes with builds/flow i don't like
Something, something stuff no one uses nerfs 
On a highlight note for me personally got my Elemental Lariat crafted and dagger
its still used, but the wording was "we gonna keep an eye on it"
all rogue specs got hit 3%
sin got hit more
Big sub at it again 
nah with execute on a raid boss people still prefer it pretty sure
thats something what i actually think is somewhat weird
like, yeha, its not bad, but why did 1 spec got hit "more" then the others
but maybe this will just push sub as the clear winner
You love it really
probs want the tier set to be less powerfull i gues

2set was big
yo, newbie question, but do i get it right, when i have everything up, outside of deathmark, i just spend my combo points on envenom?
@spice spire
As long as SnD and rupture is up, yeah, envenom is your “dump” finisher
Wow this singletarget spec sure does st well
dosen't envenom refresh snd with the DTB build?
It sure does buddy 
Let's nerf them across the board, wouldn't want to buff that dogshit Crimson tempest or shruiken button
i don't understand this..
?
why is blizzard always going the stupid route with rogue and nerfing 3 abilities at once and not like other classes with 1 change per tuning
Really makes you think
Why they would ever nerf them
to most stupid change is the Resounding Clarity now causes Echoing Reprimand to Animacharge 2 additional combo points (was 3).
acting as if a 3% hit will make rogue bellow average when it was THAT MUCH ahead?
that one is just made to shit on the fluid game play
the only shit change is the ER change cus it actually affects gameplay in a really bad way
MM only 3% nerf too, should have been a 20% nerf. Rogue deserves all 3 top slots.
Back to SoD domination baby.
can't wait for 10.1 when we get ANOTHER rare dagger
if my class is not 20%ahead of everyone else, they HATE it
MM once they get Rasz bow though is gonna slap hard
Yeh the nerf across the board is fine. For balancing but if they’re doing it weekly it will get old fast. As you’ll never know if you are improving or getting worse. Or blizzards lever monkeys are to blame.
But gameplay changing nerfs just suck.
they are just tuning before guilds that aren't RWF get into mythic, this is fine.
Call me a stalagmite then pal
oh common, go away with that "i hope they dont do weekly changes" blizz never doing any real balance changes was the WORST aspect of wow, cus it meant you prayed that your class/spec had decent dmg cus otherwhise it never changed
Should have buffed exsanguinate obviously
all i see is us being way less op then the lock was in Sepulcher and they didn't even bother to nerf them
Honestly the ER change is the most annoying one
if they would do weekly/every 2 weeks small balance changes, would be the ideal world for wow
Yeah it’s annoying g
Getting enough CP to not max rupture before exsang sucks
you're more of a stalactite tbh
But not out of pocket tbh
a sec a melee is top lets smack the neft hammer hard
Mount kilamanjaro looking mf
and not "Lmao your class/spec is bad for a tier? to bad, better luck next tier"
Blizzard not doing real balanceing and doing weekly are two different things
they usually give zero fucks about balance in X.3 fwiw
cause expansion is over
It’s almost like they maybe want to do a better job 
which animacharged CP did we lose?
Would be a stalactite since we're so high 
do we know yet?
Since it’s fresh
Ny'alotha was the same way. BM, Destro, and Fire just owned that tier too lol
No
well, a random one
Nah. People are entirely justified to complain that rogues get nerfed while ~4% ahead of the other classes when warlocks were allowed to have all of s3 and s4 untouched
What?
I don't mind these nerfs in a vacuum. But gotta remember that bullshit
.
you guys should know by now melee's can't be on top
yeha, but they should do a better job at balancing the game WITHOUT nerfing my class???? hello??????


The irony in calling anyone a box of rocks when you can't actually respond to the argument or seem to understand what's being said is pretty amazing
It's all your fault
sorry
someone will always be on 1st spot
my 92 overall parse on normal was to strong
and honestly the gap was not that big
mostly relative power, plus a little bit of high pay/punish for doing the minigame right (or wrong), this both evens out the relative power of other talent options while also making it a little easier to get full value. FWIW it's a relatively small nerf, not intended to feel overwhelming and some builds dodge it entirely
from Realz
on why the ER change
he just answered me on Sub channel
Bro what the fuck are you smoking
Oh idc 
Like the doses of
are INSANE
i mean, thats fair for sub and outlaw, but for assa it somewhat fucks over the KB opener

@balmy condor hey dont know if you're around, since we dont use exsang in the kings bane build does the opener change or is it the same minus exsang?
cus you went with a ER at 0CP ->2 or 3 CP ER rupture there, so it will probably change the entire opener (probably in a worse way) and not make a "high pay/punish" minigame 
Call it a change in design philosophy so that doesn't happen again, but blizzard can't change, the nerf is too big we are now useless and you're still 🪨
Has anyone tested where Shadowsteop positions you when used on Tetris
bro theres no way people are delusional enough about the nerf to get this chat put in slow mode 💀
IC+KB should use exsang, but of a mixup on the faq
I'm trying to enjoy my friday night without playing babysitter to the cry babies
But if you don’t use exsang, you can just play without doubling rupture
Every time blizzard cuts down rogues and people get mad, some borderline blizzard shill says "can't believe you're even mad this is a good change in direction" and then two patches later warlocks are out of control and left entirely unaddressed again. It's genuinely not believable that a human being thinks this is a shift in the pattern instead of a continuation. People like you have said the same thing for every round of rogue nerfs in history, and then the warlocks go unnerfed shortly after. I'm not even saying this nerf isn't justified, I'm saying you cannot possibly be obtuse enough to not understand why people are annoyed.
The issue isn’t the nerf in damage.
As i said before people couldn’t be bothered to read the context is the frequency.
It’s straight depressing to be getting bat every week.
Plus that ER nerf fkin sucks just makes the rotation more clunky.

You need to chill Kieron did not get rogued nerfed because he's not sobbing and shitting himself every time we get nerfed
lol i was just thinking i need to use exsang in higher keys to help on boss fights
Potentially the reason devs often don't take community feedback is because it's insanely reactive and emotional and no one is able to calmly discuss or react to anything ever nerf the world is ending and blizzard hates us
just as I thought things are looking up
M+ gameplay buffs any day now 
Rogue still gonna be in top third of dps so no need to freak out plus if you are good at sin doesn’t matter where it is you will still out dps people so just chill and remember it’s only game
guys locks won't be top dps again for raid 
Dathea kill
i saw more issues with WW then rogue. The fact they did good ST and crazy AOE and they get a 3% nerf only 🙂
Actually? Huge
Those nerfs aren't to down bad. only only I don't like is the 1 less anima charge
aff might be giga M+ now though. we'll see though.
Nerf or not, still working on doing better dps cause I aint near the top rogues on logs, so that aint gonna change tuesday 😄
I believe king good luck!
Stupid question. Do I triple stack crit gems in lariat
sim yourself, it will probably go for either tripple crit or crit/mastery gems
I'm not worried about these changes at all, was expecting us to be tuned down a bit for raid anyway while specs at the bottom were buffed. I am a bit sad that it's an overall aura nerf instead of just ST as I don't think assa needed nerfs for M+ but mostly playing sub there anyway already. We'll still be good
Do we think Fatal Concoction nerf will bring DTB and KB closer together?
Yeah, @balmy condor how much is the FC nerf for DTB?
1%
Updated pin for clarity
so long as its number 2 im fine with it. with more crit it gets harder to only get 2 combo points 
i really dont understand their logic too looks like a lazy weekend aura nerf. Sin is alreayd kind of dead in m+ didnt need more nerf but buffs to improved aoe viability
I am mad and I am raging rawr nerfs 👀
Meh nerfs could've been way worse than they are. Considering Enh Sham/WW Monk/MM Hunter also got the same 3% down, it'll even out.
Sin is fine in m+
Don’t bait
something tells me if it goes down to 2 cp's its gonna be like cp 4-5 sad 10m slow mo 😢
only-3% m+ sin player think it’s just okay but clarity makes beginning worse
And actually hope IC will be reduced to 30s

It'll be random like the reverb version. It'll be frustrating for setting up exsang, and probably be more annoying than actually impactful.
There’s no reason why IC would be buffed again
IC is in a fine spot where it is honestly, maybe even a little too good imo
ic being 30 sec literally kills enjoyment of aoe multidotting
Any idea?

KB is not affected by EP.
gain EP before KB casting and drop EP, no difference in dmg.
gain EP during KB, no difference in dmg.
i swear nerfs and slowmode go hand-in-hand 
are yall going DTB or KB for m+?
KB+IC mostly
that's cause we have a group of individuals that frequent this channel who stir shit whenever there's nerfs. Impossible to have any half-decent conversation over the crying, so we gotta do this now
does anyone else feel energy starved in new DTB build?
cant even doomer-swap to ww since they got 3% too 
"New" dtb build?
Alright I am slow so I just saw it now, many people have probably maybe already said it, but I'm kinda suprised they decided to do aura nerf. As our aoe already is lacking quite a bit.
assassination is a slow spec, get used to it
@balmy condor when you're running the sims to crunch these new numbers how are you coding the animacharged cp logic for ER?
probably not at all
assa is, iirc, 1 of the better classes for m+, a 3%nerf will not make the spec suddenly really bad for m+
a aura nerf was obvious overall, cus its somewhat hard to "only" nerf assa st without atleast SOMEWHAT touching its aoe aswell, unless you ignore all dots etc.....
tl:dr, chill, its not big, not even close to big, assa will still slam
I miss the easy to see PI and such tags on logs... makes it harder to find something to compare my own stuff to
cant you just buff fok?
Quick question: If SBS is worth pressing at all, do we basically try to keep it a <=1 charge? FAQ says to avoid over-capping, but if it’s worth pressing over mut we should use it as much as possible right? What am I missing
Those fat plant pulls in Academy are absolutely devastating as Assassination, I cream every time.
If it was worth pressing over mutilate, I think the faq would say something else than "avoid overcapping".
it's worth pressing over mut because of the energy efficiency, so if you want to just nail 3 sbs's in a row, go for it I guess, it's the same thing at the end of the day, you just use the charges earlier vs later
usually would suggest getting in the habit of not slamming charges like that though to try and save for adds when they spawn
what i didnt see was a arcane mage nerf !
Arcane mage nerf?????
My frost mage alt really needed some love
please stop talking about non-assassination rogue things while we're on slow mode
or waste your 10 min I guess I don't really care
I find using sbs to try rolling on the anima charge point is a bit more consistent than mut for some reason. Also range when you need to run out it’s obviously better unless you can range mut 😂
that's on you
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
I'm assuming the nerf isn't too bad right. Like I said a few days ago I was worried we were a bit too high so not surprised.
I mean actually, sin got a little good in Academy for you can put shiv&KB on the tree and use IC and crimson to all the little plant
And that one KB damage will be HURT
Love Academy
rogue is still a top class, possible its still the highest dmg, the differences are just less gigantic now, cus rogue was ahead by a really big ammount
In pure ST it does indeed seem like 5% isnt enough to bring us down to even 2nd place, pretty epic
