#

i know

#

šŸ’€

#

should be nerfed by the time i get there

#

in 2-3w

gusty mirage
#

envenom damage TOO high

#

AURA NERF

drifting cloud
#

the fight is just on crack from the start

gusty mirage
#

3%

simple remnant
#

rogue damage way to high bro

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

Sadge

strange python
#

Losing alacrity stacks feels so bad on single target holy

simple remnant
#

thank you for that screenshot oxi

strange python
#

Just watching 3 finishers go off and losing your 5stack because of bad luck

slow marsh
#

Watching alacrity fall off while spamming finishers feels extremely bad

#

Yeah

#

It's one thing if it falls to downtime like in the past. But like damn I envenom / rupture 4 times and no refresh?

oak sky
#

its just a random passive increase

#

it is what it is

earnest remnant
#

best advice

#

stop tracking alacrity

#

then it wont tilt you

oak sky
#

i didnt even track it when it was 100%

earnest remnant
#

same xD

oak sky
#

well you play sub

earnest remnant
#

i play all 3 specs

#

jokes on u

gusty mirage
#

he also plays with my heart

slow marsh
#

I need to redo my whole wa pack and taking alac off will be on the to do list

oak sky
drifting cloud
#

you played outlaw on kurog agreon youve changed

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

im playing it on dathea too

gusty mirage
#

I was considering going to make a sword @drifting cloud

#

then I realized we hold DPS on the adds

oak sky
#

because i got assigned to a platform

gusty mirage
#

and I asked myself why I would even consider that

strange python
#

Higher uptime on EP than alacrity???

earnest remnant
oak sky
gusty mirage
#

"STOP DPS"

#

I was like alright dude

#

I'll just sit afk

#

because uh

#

doesn't work like that for me

oak sky
#

oh you mean in intermission

gusty mirage
#

all adds

oak sky
#

why would you hold during phase

gusty mirage
#

you milk the enrage

#

idk man

subtle tundra
#

Milk me 🤤

gusty mirage
#

I was just STing the boss

oak sky
#

thats wack

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

during phase you just want it to die before enrage and thats the check

oak sky
gusty mirage
#

it was casual cleave for everyone not a warlock

#

and then hard swap right before enrage

#

we 3 shot it tonight

#

so seems like the strat was fine

peak bobcat
#

Yeah it’s more of a gear thing

oak sky
#

we had to hold on the 2nd intermission adds for boss damage

#

that was a little interesting

strange python
#

Dathea?

#

Or kurog?

oak sky
#

yeah kurog

#

so like we burned storm then held on fire forever

#

burned frost held on earth forever

strange python
#

We held on kurog for three kills then we told our moonkin to just hold CDs

oak sky
#

we probably kill dathea this coming reset

#

should have like an hour of prog on tuesday then 4 on wednesday

strange python
#

Dathea is incredibly unfun

#

I especially hated being outlaw on that fight having to cancel aura blade flurry constantly

oak sky
#

ive been through worse

frozen zenith
#

how big is the difference between outlaw and assa on spider, bcs our mage is just crying at me to go outlaw on spider because ā€œmost of the top logs are outlawā€ and he want’s to just blast the boss as arcane or something idk

#

but I just do way more as assa + only real pain-point is the 2nd add so??

runic hinge
#

Tell that mage you’re just gonna blast boss and they can do the add

static glacier
#

I mean it's not like outlaw blasts adds

frozen zenith
#

especially since there’s no fighting for who gets to pad off the small spiders

static glacier
#

??? where did they get that idea from

frozen zenith
#

but ā€œtop outlaw log has 5mil big spider dmgā€

static glacier
#

like it will do decent damage, but outlaw doesn't "blast" anything, lowest burst rogue espec

frozen zenith
#

while not realizing top outlaw log didn’t have udk oneshotting the 1st and 3rd spider

static glacier
#

if anything if they wanted reliable dmg for a big spider wouldn't just asking you to go sub or dm it?

frozen zenith
#

but the guy just thinks I should go outlaw because top logs are outlaw + outlaw supposedly can burst the add

oak sky
#

2nd spider is the most important usually because there arent many cds for it, sin usually does a good amount because it dies so slow

oak sky
static glacier
#

all rogue specs generally have good dmg outside of cds, spec change doesn't really change it much

oak sky
#

really either should be doing good add damage

#

you swapping won't make much difference

frozen zenith
oak sky
#

its not exactly pad, the big spider is super important damage

#

it just won't make a significant difference

gusty mirage
#

arcane legit gets free cleave

#

on all their shit

#

what

drifting cloud
#

classic looking at r1 log snydrome

frozen zenith
oak sky
#

small spiders isnt a reason to do anything

frozen zenith
subtle tundra
#

I don't even think they count on logs

oak sky
#

hmm

frozen zenith
#

that’s why Im saying he wants to just do ST arcane dmg and thinks me swapping to outlaw will somehow magically oneshot the adds bcs outlaw burst

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

there is no outlaw burst

frozen zenith
#

that’s what I’ve been saying lol

#

so I guess its just mage player brain

static glacier
#

sounds like a more dps should just swap to it and mage needs to stop overthinking

#

like is he allergic to using one of his mini burst windowws on it instead of boss? mages have mini bursts every 45s iirc

frozen zenith
#

I mean I don’t really feel like its the main problem but ye it just feels like overthinking + weird assumptions about rogue spec dps profile

oak sky
#

every dps should be swapping to it

gusty mirage
#

I addressed this exact point earlier

static glacier
#

f

#

recently cut a mage from the team bc he argued about lusting

#

refused to lust initially saying using it put it on cd so he couldn't proc temporal warp (lie) then tried to argue 20k mana is a significant dps loss when he's 4.8% of the raid's dmg

#

like bro why is pressing time warp / lust even a debate, you're asked to do it then you do it

gusty mirage
#

BUT MAH PARSE

static glacier
#

sad thing is there was all sorts of bs like it's on gcd etc

#

had to make a fucking gif

#

I don't understand why this is even a debate tbh.

gusty mirage
#

#neverforget

dawn kelp
#

So come Tuesday we just run the same DTB essentially?

gusty mirage
#

yeah except now you get to throw a point somewhere else ig

cinder geode
#

extra zoldyck point pog

dawn kelp
#

Gotcha gotcha

subtle tundra
#

Man I had the best dream

gusty mirage
subtle tundra
#

My guild disbanded and I quit wow

gusty mirage
#

oh

subtle tundra
#

But you were close

static glacier
#

man, might just play KB on everything since it's dying next week

dawn kelp
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
cinder geode
#

i dont hate AP to be honest

#

althought i did like KB as well

steel ridge
cinder geode
#

but im gonna try cold blood with tiny toxic blade and AP for big numbers in m+

gusty mirage
#

best of luck

tough gorge
#

what if IC was re-tooled as a passive that lets your rupture and garotte hit 2 more enemies. Reduces AoE burst potential, but gives more consistent cleave, and can go beyond 8 targets with a bit of work.

gusty mirage
#

it would make more sense being where it is in the tree if it worked like that

#

cause the way it works now

#

is a qol cd every 45s

#

at least it being free cleave passive would make it useful outside of m+

tough gorge
#

yeah if pack lives fairly long, your not likely to get 2 ICs off, and the time after is not fun lol

#

yeah outside of mythic+ itd be good for ST builds with low cleave fights

gusty mirage
#

I hope someone finds something with the new talent

gusty mirage
#

cause uh it looks pretty dogshit

balmy condor
tough gorge
#

IC feels like a waste to us on like 3-4 cleave, when you could multi garotte them

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
magic vine
#

... they're like, below midline on that lol

gusty mirage
#

swap it to damage to bosses

#

arcane mage was up there with all 3 rogue specs

#

didn't get touched

balmy condor
#

arcane aint really that crazy honestly

gusty mirage
#

if we get nerfed

balmy condor
#

it's just pi

gusty mirage
#

they need to get nerfed

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

glad they buffed unholy dk btw

#

they sure were hurting pre buff

balmy condor
#

damage to bosses is also kind of hilarious

#

because assassination looks really good on boss damage

#

but then you realize

#

on all the fights where you would normally kill adds

#

the assassination rogue gets told to sit on boss

#

cause assassination is worthless on anything add related

gusty mirage
#

reminds me of anduin

#

I died during 2nd intermission

magic vine
#

also you get stuff like "unholy is super good with pi so they get a lot of pi"

gusty mirage
#

and I was worth 1% boss health

balmy condor
#

but then you look at terros

#

and it's like

gusty mirage
#

for the entirety of the intermission

balmy condor
#

assassination ain't actually that good

gusty mirage
#

remember when enhancement shaman were so deadset that the 25% nerf they got was TOO MUCH

#

and then they reverted like 10% of that

#

and they still cried

#

and it seems like... it's just fine?

tough gorge
#

terros is just a patchwork fight, how come assassination isn't pulling ahead of other two specs?

balmy condor
#

because it's not better

tough gorge
#

i thought it had the edge in ST

#

just poor at AoE

gusty mirage
#

no

tough gorge
#

so poor at both lol

gusty mirage
#

they fixed that

pastel onyx
balmy condor
#

the edge in single target

#

at what

gusty mirage
#

we used to be

balmy condor
#

+200 dps on sub

gusty mirage
#

prior to all the nerfs

balmy condor
#

pog

magic vine
#

you'd need extended execute i think

balmy condor
#

super edge

gusty mirage
#

which is funny

#

cuz most terros kills

#

the execute phase is the entire fight

#

first 65% is whatever

#

it's the last 35% that makes or breaks the kill for most guilds

tough gorge
#

im fine with the ST as long as AoE is buffed

subtle tundra
#

Won't happen

#

Assa doesn't get aoe

gusty mirage
#

fun times

#

I remember all the tears

subtle tundra
#

I think it's part of the agreements you need to press when you buy the game

tough gorge
#

I think the AoE needs a redesign, not just like an aura buff.

gusty mirage
#

then they nerfed exsang

#

then they nerfed RC

#

then they nerfed us by 3% AND a talent nerf

tough gorge
#

whats RC?

gusty mirage
#

now we do mediocre damage

#

ggs

subtle tundra
#

Pb nerfed less go

gusty mirage
#

resounding clarity

#

oh

#

I forgot about the PB nerf

tough gorge
#

oh ER yeah, that felt unneeded

gusty mirage
#

how silly of me

tough gorge
#

Now that you list it like that... they nerfed assass alot huh lol

gusty mirage
#

we didn't need the 3% aura after all the other nerfs

subtle tundra
#

Make class tree right side even remotely decent please

gusty mirage
#

we were still ahead

#

but god damn

gusty mirage
#

it's awful

#

all of it

#

but I mean they're trying to address it

#

which is cool

stray mural
tough gorge
stray mural
#

even if i pump valor into it the sim is showing it as not better

gusty mirage
stray mural
#

so not in keys, got it

magic vine
#

depends, its gonna be better on big boss weeks probably

gusty mirage
#

3min CD shit is just awkward in keys on top of that

gusty mirage
balmy condor
gusty mirage
magic vine
#

well, depends on where your groups difficulty point is

subtle tundra
#

Lack of brain cells

balmy condor
gusty mirage
stray mural
#

for keys my sim says grief + whetstone is the way. so it goes

royal lantern
# tough gorge i thought it had the edge in ST

assa has the same st as outlaw and sub

sub and outlaw are both cleave and aoe monsters aswell, while assassination has 0 raid aoe when it wants to do ST dmg

there is absolutely no problem at all prayge

slow marsh
#

But we have st burst prio

#

For 4 more days

royal lantern
#

yeha, the giga st burst prio, ignore all adds and stay Boss, and you do 19m boss dmg

meanwhile the sub did 18,5m boss dmg and 11m add dmg prayge

slow marsh
#

But we have uhhh iron wire

#

And execute

#

Yeah we have 3t execute that's it

#

Spec saved

royal lantern
#

oh, and the giga kb burst where you need 3000things stacked at once, and the sub pressed his sectech+coldblood macro and did more dmg in 1gcd, or the outlaw just uses any ability cus fuck dmg spread

slow marsh
#

Skill issue

#

Just wait until we start hitting stat breakpoints. Then assassination will be great again

#

āš–ļø

royal lantern
#

but i allready broke the 34% crit

storm onyx
#

I just want some of the talent nerfs reverted

#

If they insist 3% was necessity as class tune

royal lantern
#

nah, but srsly now, im just frustrated as hell that assassination STILL has that giga stupid "ST SPEC TAX" when the game isnt about pure st in 9 out of 10fights, and isnt even exceptional on ST anyway

#

and can do 0aoe or cleave without fucking its ST dmg

#

meanwhile other classes and specs just do both all the time

#

often better anyway

slow marsh
#

Yeah no honestly I agree if we aren't allowed to do AoE or cleave then we need to at least be ahead in st by at least some small margin

royal lantern
#

like, why do i need to chose bettwen "st and 0aoe, or aoe and 0st" and a dh just does more st and aoe without swapping builds anyway lol

slow marsh
#

Tbh that was kind of the main tilter for me in sofo and what added to the snowball of me quitting was during anduin prog

#

I legit just wasn't allowed to play sin

slow marsh
#

And it wasn't even a guild thing like we always have to deal with the whole 'why not sub or outlaw for x content?', it just felt like from design I couldn't play it

#

Frost dk literally did just as much st but also shit on adds with breath and that kinda just broke me

royal lantern
#

like bruh, sub rogue trial joined, and its really "fun" watching him be better at everything by default

lament warren
#

spriest pays the price for being good in bod and legion still

royal lantern
#

even thought im getting 90+ on all fights

#

šŸ™‚

sly elk
#

I’m improving!

#

Look at me go

royal lantern
#

sub rupture doing more dmg then the DOT SPEC RUPTURE, and also having a free dot Spread, gives me a joker moment

sly elk
#

I did my rotation and only messed up a little bit. Big steps for me. Should I be using tempest in ST for more bonus on lethal dose, or no?

slow marsh
#

Only outside of shiv if you have it talented

lament warren
#

you should not talent that unholy spell in single target

#

find god

sly elk
#

Ok

slow marsh
#

Correct but if there's any cleave pretty sure it's worth it unless that's changed which I doubt

sly elk
#

I’m not using it but I know I was confused on using SBS vs a third point in Zolduck and people said lethal dose, so I was making sure I wasn’t missing more damage

lament warren
#

sbs is just permanent and efficient cp

#

ct it’s like

#

6 times the cost

#

per minute

#

more than that

sly elk
#

I know what sbs does, but at the time I didn’t get the balance between the 2% normal versus the 15% execute. Just trying not to repeat my mistake

slow marsh
#

Yeah you're good

sly elk

sub having better ways of applying bleeds than the bleed spec šŸ™‚

sly elk
#

Sure, but can they do this? -specs into kingsbane and has a terrible time overall-

!fuu

But yeah, I finally made it through a fight and my rotation was pretty clean. I’ve been using the potion trinket, and it’s been surprisingly strong for me

With the kingsbane change we dont play kb ic anymore?

you wont play kb period

#

#

Awesome...

new patch, and all that happend, is that we lose build options prayge

tuning is weird though im sure theres a way

glass junco
#

@balmy condor hey, got a quick question for you

balmy condor
#

@glass junco hey, got a quick answer for you

glass junco
#

Since we have one of the best class discords, and I think we also have some devs here, have you talked with anyone in blizzard about the Kingsbane change?

#

I mean, I would suppose that since the changes were announced early and were in the PTR, we should have a way of saying "this is weird"

balmy condor
#

uh huh

#

I have relayed some concerns

#

but I'm not going to talk about specifics

sharp bloom
#

Hey mates, after playing Outlaw from DF start, wanna try Assa spec. wich spec is the more suitable to assa beginner rogue ?

Any video suggestion bout guide for Dragon tempered build ? learning better this way šŸ™‚

#

When I realized that not every class has a discord like this one i felt so priviledged and so sad at the same time

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

they do

glass junco
# balmy condor they do

Most of them are not being updated frequently and tbh info is kinda... not that high quality..?

#

Here everything is organized, info is updated, people are really knowledgeable AND helpful

slim hamlet
#

I tried to get some info on when to use seeds as aff lock start of dragonflight

#

3 dudes began yelling at each other

#

I tried getting some info on enhance rotation

#

They began saying sin was op

#

I tried lookin at boomkin discord

#

Never again

Ye exactly

i mean, RH has its moments aswell

And rogue is without a doubt not even close to having the best faq and fast responses to New stuff

visual sequoia
#

Do they nerf kb or or u just don't play it anymore when u have dtb on the same spot?

slim hamlet
#

They removed it from the game

#

Afaik

might as well make it unclickable

slim hamlet
#

Well

It is

Leave the icon there a Legion Tribune

visual sequoia
#

Mhh OK I just got used to the kingsbane stuff, and the nice execute dmg šŸ˜”

slim hamlet
#

Kings bane was in every way better imo

#

More interesting, more burst, more overall, more execute

desert inlet
#

do we have any idea if Kingsbane is still worth for Raszageth on Tuesday?

#

or am I just gonna have to try

shut thistle
#

I am curious about the new shiv talent working together with Exsanguinate, Deathmark and vanish Garrote and if it would end up being an increase over kingsbane/dtb node.

balmy condor
#

the hardest part is the shields and you get essentially 3 kb's for the price of 1

#

that's big

balmy condor
#

?

slim hamlet
#

the last part

#

3 kb's for the price of 1

balmy condor
#

you get a 200% damage buff

slim hamlet
#

ahh

#

thought it was something with the tree

supple snow
#

guys anyone has a specific talent for Tyr weeks?

slim hamlet
#

yeah

supple snow
#

unlucky

#

no no, I meant for Rogues

slim hamlet
#

oh

supple snow
sly elk
#

I wonder if fang and potion is optimal embellish or if we have something better

#

Maybe mastery?

supple snow
#

optimal is cowl and lariat, of course if you have ring

sly elk
#

Right but if I don’t

normal mist
#

Even without ring afaik

slim hamlet
#

neck and cowl sims best for me

sly elk
#

Really? I always thought cowl was kinda underwhelming

slim hamlet
#

without ring

twilit hollow
#

without ring cowl still simmed higher than fang adorn, narrowly but i just swapped for future proofing

#

i mean fang adornment is just as underwhelming

slim hamlet
#

fang is like 0.1% behind cowl only tho

twilit hollow
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

sly elk
#

I see

#

Man and here I was on the potion cooldown reduction coolaid

slim hamlet
#

yep no

sly elk
#

Womp womp

slim hamlet
#

I have seen quite a few have the mastery at 90+% for some reason

#

coping for 100% uptime

topaz bluff
#

I have a 0.3 difference with neck/cowl/ring instead of boots+patch šŸ˜‚

#

.03*

slim hamlet
#

huh

#

cowl + ring was a ~3.5% alone

#

for me

topaz bluff
#

.3 is auto correct on phone fubar, it's like a 400dps change in a dslice with heroic ring

slim hamlet
#

oh

#

just read it as .3

#

anyway

topaz bluff
#

Not sure about pure single target didn't sim that as I don't do much raiding

glass junco
slim hamlet
#

Finally got ring yesterday, surely I get big glove tier next vault

slim hamlet
glass junco
#

my stats suck

topaz bluff
# slim hamlet huh

Double checked on ring+cowl+neck vs boots+patch.

Less than 600 dps gain in dslice šŸ˜‚

That's as KB/IC might be more of a difference with other talents šŸ¤”

#

Well 599 DPS gain so might as well just call it 600

grim jay

#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
topaz bluff
#

I prolly should swap my current gem combos vs proper itemizing for the cowl/neck sim, that's likely where the change from 400 to 600 came from this time. I haven't updated my current ones just yet

#

The toxic patch+slimy boots

grim jay
#

Ah right, mastery was lining

topaz bluff
#

I use pbox though, boots seem to have good stat weights with that. I take off pbox and swap another trinket in and they lose a bit of value though. Moreso than the cowl setup. I ain't really splitting hairs on less than 1% overall change, personally. I don't push any content where the tiniest of gains might be needed though.

New assas rogue question - what is the target breakpoint for using FON to build CP, same question for crimson tempest vs envenom as a finisher (im running poison bomb / DTB)

Yeah the rotation section

brisk leaf
#

thanks

storm forum
#

Only things to add is that on single target, no amp poison (so like, kb/ic dungeons vs bosses) CT is fine to use outside of kb/shiv windows.

And you get infinite energy from having ~7-ish(?) Bleeds out, so keep those rolling in AoE before you dump cp in env/non-pandemic CT. Unless the mobs won't live another 10 seconds or whatever for the energy economy to matter.

Is there a explanation for the kb change?

balmy condor
#

from who

royal lantern
#

you

balmy condor
#

an explanation as to why the kb change at all?

#

or an explanation of the actual change

#

or an explanation of what the change means to assa meta

supple snow
#

I'm interested in the last one

#

if it's anything other than KB is now dead

Sorry to disappoint

šŸ˜„ just dead

thanks.

#

I keep reading and looking at the pins for new info šŸ˜„ don't wanna lose hope

slim hamlet
#

U are hard coping if u expect changes before release

balmy condor
#

idk why everyone is like

#

giga dooming

#

at worst we just play the same dtb shit we played for most of the patch

#

at best we get to play a new cool capstone

supple snow
#

not actually dooming though. happy with where it's at in general

balmy condor
#

only weird thing is kingsbane is undertuned now

#

but like

#

kinda whatever imo

supple snow
#

I am just unhappy with what i'm doing on Tyr weeks. so want something to nag at.

#

don't take it seriously

slim hamlet
#

DTB and ic in m+ will be nice

balmy condor
#

yeh

slim hamlet

But would rather not have that, and have option for kb in raid

I have been dooming hard I admit

From this patch change

balmy condor
#

lmao

dark token
#

Cause kb got hit hard

slim hamlet
#

But I feel like its for a good reason

dark token
#

It's fine on literally every other scenario

#

But the fact the 1 min build got nerfed is a nerf specifically to raz

slim hamlet
#

I usually dont doom much unironically

dark token
#

Subtime

supple snow
#

I feel like some small node placement changes can fix this for us big time. but I may be big time wrong.

balmy condor
#

I mean honestly playing kingsbane probably does more on raz after the patch than before

#

you lose out last phase

#

and maybe last shield if you're super fast getting into zold range

#

but execute is already omega cope

supple snow
#

like maybe have one of TP / CT be less punishing to go for. specially TP ( i think )

balmy condor
#

even in race they be playing sub in like 80% of kills

supple snow
#

like just switch TP and FD ? o.O

balmy condor
#

but kingsbane does the same damage to shields as before

#

you just get dashing now

#

big whoop

slim hamlet
#

Still 6% on the overall

balmy condor
#

sure

#

but for what kingsbane did

slim hamlet
#

Not like shield os the only thing to think about

balmy condor
#

it will do that but better

#

and the 6% you lose

slim hamlet
#

Yes I understand

balmy condor
#

won't really do anything

#

you're still shit at intermission damage

#

6% on kb or not

#

you're not magically going to crank in situations you weren't cranking before

#

the builds legit do the same thing they did before, most even do it better than they do now

#

it's like NOOOOOOOOOO THE PATHING THROUGH ZOLD MY OVERALL DPS, NOW KINGSBANE WONT GIGA CRANK ON THE LAST DEATHMARK IN THE FIGHT

slim hamlet
#

I prob just play sub

balmy condor
#

and aside from that?

#

its uh........

#

not much

slim hamlet
#

Yeah

#

Buuuut

balmy condor
#

like you either complain about not having zold -> kingsbane because now you have to split points and can't just yoink 3/3 zold for free

slim hamlet
#

Thats like only rasz

#

Anywhere else kb is deadge

balmy condor
#

in which cause lmao cope on the execute till you choke

#

or you're just insane

#

and making shit up

#

everything else is the same

storm onyx
#

RL asked me to go DTB on Rasz, couse we were lacking overlall dmg to meet timers

balmy condor
#

YIKES

storm onyx
#

What works depend to alot of things

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I mean cursed shit happens

#

that def isn't the move

#

but yeh

#

shit happens

storm onyx
#

yea, but we got the kill, so

balmy condor
#

be like that

sonic spindle
#

Thanks šŸ˜‚

fleet imp
#

Big gzs

balmy condor
#

but yeah as far as I'm concerned, you can be upset about:

  1. kingsbane not being viable overall on single target
  2. losing execute -> you're kind of a clown but whatever
  3. SIN NERFED -> you're actually an idiot
#

if you're just angry that you can't play kingsbane because you wanted to and it's cool

#

then whatever

#

sure

supple snow
#

nah, the changes do actually seem like a buff no?

#

they just don't fix the weakness we have with not being able to be decent on ST and cleave at the same time. which is my biggest problem right now

balmy condor
lament warren
#

kingsbane is the playstyle of sin

balmy condor
#

it is one of them

modest glen
#

Removing exsang and putting kingsbane in it’s place would be cool

turbid harbor
#

Are the changes aimed directly at raz damage do you think?

#

Seems very strange to take the tree in its current iteration, dtb and kb simming very close, and then making changes to give you a ā€˜choice’ between them

storm onyx
#

No, Its actually a move t make capstones to be reachable

#

But KB build got fiddled with for that

slim hamlet
#

Tbh i cant wait testing the new m+ builds thi

#

Thats gonna be hype

fleet imp
#

I am afraid mainly about M+

#

!whispyr

Huh

balmy condor
# turbid harbor Are the changes aimed directly at raz damage do you think?

if I had to give my opinion, which is just an educated guess and has in no way any connection to any conversations I've had about it, do not read into it I am clueless

then I would wager a guess to say that 3/3 nodes like zoldyck, dashing, and scent were decided to be removed late into the beta cycle. You saw a lot of them leave from other trees. Assassinations fundamentally could not have handled changing all of them at 2/2 instead of 3/3 cause it would've enabled things like KB+DTB, which would have been game breaking and required massive sweeping nerfs to keep the spec functional. Would've destroyed build diversity alongside it, and probably would've needed a bunch of band-aid fixes to keep everything held together. This is the first step in making the nodes 2/2. It's not aimed at raz specifically, just aimed at a bigger, long term shift to getting the tree in a more comfortable place. The change alone might seem weird but I have.... faith maybe? that the tree at the end of the day will be much more robust and better to play with than it was having 3/3 nodes. That sadly required a way of breaking KB+DTB from existing, and putting it on a choice node like this is the logical step.

slim hamlet
#

Our m+ stuff is strictly getting better right

#

Good builds for both fort and tyran

turbid harbor
dawn merlin
#

now I kind of wish IC and AP were a choice node

#

would that be cursed

slim hamlet
#

U sure do seem to have a very educated guess

balmy condor
#

I'm a studious man what can I say

drowsy parcel
#

Dtb was a mistake

slim hamlet
#

But makes sence I saw a lot of people wishing for DTB + another capstone being a thing

#

At least start of expac

lament warren
#

sin not even the best spec for raz

#

but it is rly fucking strong

#

have u lookled into logs

#

and seen how much sin does

#

to shields

#

🄓

slim hamlet
#

Come to think about it DTB is actually giga boring capstone

lament warren
#

112k the entirety of p2

#

yeeesh

slim hamlet
jade abyss
#

It will be not possible to play ic dtb right?

balmy condor
# drowsy parcel Dtb was a mistake

I think there's bigger mistakes, DTB might be a mistake on its own. I think in context DTB is fine as a passive option with the button bloat the class in general has for a wide spread of players, but it wasn't planned around accordingly and is now overbearingly strong for no reason

slim hamlet
#

Def weird placement for AP in my eyes

balmy condor
#

except raging, might play AP during raging

tall atlas
queen cosmos
#

Could someone help me out with a log review? Played assa for the second timer ever on our mythic Terros kill and wanted someone to tell me on how can improve

tall atlas
#

Get in the line bro

drowsy parcel
jade abyss
slim hamlet
#

The aoe was quite a bit higher with AP tho right?

#

Hopefully worth running on stuff like NO maybe?

storm onyx
#

I am fond of DTB actually, I would play the other 2 specs if I wished for button smashing or lottery

slim hamlet
#

2 cleave bosses too

lament warren
slim hamlet
#

Like 6% No?

#

Even tho 11% lower st

winter raft
lament warren
#

11% is a lot

jade abyss
#

In my opinion dtb is boring af but when its so good i have no choice šŸ˜…

slim hamlet
#

Yea

#

6% is also a lot

lament warren
balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

I dont think anyone actually likes DTB, maybe enjoy it because its no real thought

#

But doubt anyone is batchesting over that capstone

lament warren
#

i like dtb

#

wtf

slim hamlet
#

I do too

dawn merlin
#

I agree it's boring af, but I like it for some reason

lament warren
#

i hate kingsbane

winter raft
#

same

lament warren
#

i hate having a 3min a 2 min and a 1 min

slim hamlet
#

But not because the capstone is actually interesting

dawn merlin
#

guess 4 poisons is cool to have

storm onyx
#

I may guess this is just one of the steps for tree fix, and they have a plan/idea to pull KB up maybe

winter raft
#

im batchesting. 4 poisons?wowee

lament warren
#

i hate that the 2min is so impactful that you hold the 3min

#

to make it 4min

winter raft
#

BatChatting (me playing with dtb)

balmy condor

CRIPPLING POISON VALUE GUYS

dawn merlin
#

crippling is definitely a feelsbad moment

#

and we'll be running 3 poisons in sanguine weeks I guess

lament warren
#

i already run 3 on ras

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

slim hamlet
#

DTB should be like that destruction choice node. Easier to play but not as good when other choice is played well

lament warren
#

cuz crippling is trolling intermissions

slim hamlet
#

The havoc or whatever its called

storm onyx
#

KB is absolute hell if you are in a raid with tanks just waltzing about

limber lion
#

pick your poison I guess

lament warren
#

i play sub

slim hamlet
#

U are melee

lament warren

because sin is trolling

slim hamlet

U can just move

lament warren

and its called mayhem

hello! i was wondering, what's the best phial for m+? I've been running glacial fury but it's a bit expensive so was wondering if vers was also good/better ?

merry zenith
#

yoyo, after doing some research by the look of things people who were saying that sin will be goated in both st and aoe cleave were high af, 4 target cleave seems about 30k below sub comparing todays sub and ptr sin, am i missing something?

frigid pilot
#

Furry evokers untouched 10.05 but outlaw nerfed ResidentSleeper

grim jay
#

Might be only my opinion, but in that case 4 targets is more aoe than cleave

#

Same as pvp, rogue is like 9th spec and yet nerfed but dh barely got hit and dk untouched

grim jay
#

As far as sims go. The site even isnt that well optimized for all specs tho. For example the template for sin doesnt seem optimal, but it gives an idea

frigid pilot

like, dev evoker was so bad, its was not even funny anymore

#

now its good and people cry aswell

#

cant make this shit up

balmy condor
#

Huh?

#

Devoker was never bad

#

Who said that

spice spire
#

They got their externals (very rare items) now

balmy condor
#

It was a solid middle of the pack spec for all of beta testing, and even the start of launch

#

Just fine

#

And then they got their items

#

And now they’re cranking

#

At no point were they bad

slim hamlet
#

being middle of the pack for a new spec prob means the class is quite good

balmy condor
#

Historically speaking evoker launched as the weakest of any new class

#

But yeah

slim hamlet
#

thats just cuz all the other specs have been op

balmy condor
#

What

bitter turret
#

aesthetically what do you peeps think looks better worgen rogue or void elf? šŸ™‚

#

i'd be going male

slim hamlet
#

afaik dh and dk was op on launch

slim hamlet
#

and monk become op after a while

balmy condor
#

That’s why I said

#

Evoker launched the weakest

slim hamlet
#

Yea

#

ofc weakest when its not op compared

slim hamlet
#

Yeah I know

balmy condor
#

Evoker had 6 months of beta and alpha feedback and theorycrafting behind it

bitter turret
slim hamlet
#

All i meant was that maybe they are not 100% on everything and even then people dont have muscle memory yet

balmy condor
