well thets better than what I’m used to Sub being.
I played sin in 9.0, my mental is unbreakable
I'm trying to escape from tarkov....
That’s true
Been thinking of trying out tarkov tbh
Ark actually degenerate game
I'll sherpa you
some chick asked to play minecraft b4
told her i dont play stupid games
now im on wow

lol
I play minecraft while im sitting tbf
If you can get past the learning phase which is extremely unforgiving you get addicted
diablo 3 competitive ladder
With hackers and no sound system

ama
tarkov i heard ruined lives
like OG wow did
mufukas not feeding their kids and divorcing their wives
no cap
OG? My brother in Christ that happens now 
I played poe last league for free and felt that they owe me money
Surely you got past act 2
Surely I got to red maps in Kalandra, unfortunately
imagine ur kids growing up being proud their dad is a gamer
then they find out he plays sin
in wow
Fastest league drop day 2
Ah you mean cause you played kalandra
Eh I'm more of a casual poe enjoyer
I don't really care about minmaxing the div per hour shit
I just play
If I have a fun build I play a lot if I don't I quit
Imagine still playing an mmo when you have a family
Gonna 5 squad tonight on customs dude, dorms unsafe
i mean new mains*
Neither am I. It’s just sad that I can’t play builds I want atm or ascendancy I want. Frustrating af
yo since most sin players r depressed doomers (<3 u kings) i need a new pillow recommendation
Okay, say I want to keep playing Sin. I never played DTB before. Do you just... keep playing the same rotationally except for a bit weaker burst?
That sounds boring tbh
it is, and thats why most wow gamers play it
It's not less dps tho
I like my mini-burns
with .5 its simming higher yea
Essentially
you don't run exsang with KB?
Literally two rules change
its higher than current value, but its ok to be mad that which build is slightly ahead flipped

Rest is 1:1
are people really holding Shivs for KB window and not casting outside of it?
That’s what you’re supposed to do
you lose casts either way
What's CttC there?
it’s more dps to hold
i thought i read somewhere that you line up a cast with the last 8s of the solo kb cast
Cut to the chase
Cant you fit 1 or two in before the KB comes back off CD?
and so i was doing that
no
you hold for ~15s
Gotcha i'll try that out then
i get being mad about kb getting shafted, but acting like its the end of days is dumb
when they nerf sin cus too much burst
i asked cev to check after we did eranog and his KB did 35% more damage than mind with the same number of crits
I just stopped using KB since we're prob not using it next week
KB logs stupid easy to read
Because you can check shiv logs for mistakes and missed casts 
over 100k with cds up
blizz emergency meeting
We're not taking KB once the new capstone drops tho right?
More than likely no
are we simming less or more after the changes
hell taking kb is still better than frost dks going oblit i bet
Eh

Well I'll try out DTB on Sunday before I decide if I wanna reroll. Cause I gotta swap realms anyway, might as well decide if it'll be a level boost or char transfer lol
out of curiosity.. what.. poisons would I run for DTB?
Amplifying and deadly
takes 5 hours to get leveled 30-70
in cobalt
dont need to pay for boost
dont give dumbass blizz more $
I still got the free one from DF purchase xD
oh ok
Well, "free"
lmao
Do the PTR sims account for the fixes to channeled trinkets that Whispyr mentioned recently?
if ur eu
gl
I did it from 63-70 solo
Anyone know if there’s a crit cap or mastery cap for assassination?

There’s no cap
annoying cus ull get raidpenalty
do stat weights tend to change between KB and DTB?
if ur tagging things as a lowbie
There’s DR, always sim your stuff
They change based on your gear
You’ll have to sim like
A lot
why is assassination so shit in mythic according to wcl?
Ya I did a stat weight sim and seems mastery and hast would produce most increase in dps but my mastery already at 31% (haste is crazy low at 12%)

Farmed about 20+ Nokhuds on evoker for ragefeather last week, didn't even get a trinket option in vault. Did like.. 1 key and some raid on rogue, ended up getting controlled current lol
Because we got hit with big phat nerfs
i did 30+ cos, no ring or trinket
filter by boss dam
im convinced whetstone doesnt exist
still felt like TW dungeon spam as a tank is faster
all pugged too
lol my blood DK got whetstone too.. The fucking irony
Can't get a trinket to save a life on my main. xD
30% chance some idiot leaves cus their ass caught on fire
or w/e
my gear is insane rn for outlaw barring whetstone for st and jade ring
This was weeks ago, but I did it on my bdk and it took me like 3 hours from 63-70, but I was omega trolling
Ya I did a stat weight sim and seems mastery and hast would produce most increase in dps but my mastery already at 31% (haste is crazy low at 12%)
Probably could have done it in 2
sucks i had to make my lariat crit vers
cus mastery sucks for law
😦
and i aint about to recraft everytime im feeling sinlike
I am actual fucking garbage at Outlaw. I genuinely cannot play the spec.
takes a while
tw is like half a level per run and 5-8 mins per run. runtime depends on dungeons obviously, will be somewhat random next week with legion
sucks is over reacting
i sim 800 dps higher with vers instead of mast
in what ST?
It’s not the worst anymore
rsham might have the worst mastery of any spec in the game tbh
Rdruid is fine, even though it disgusts me to say that
R Druid kinda slams
Movement while healing is pretty nice
Could be the same for sham
raz unkillable without proper vokers/dr no?
are you at rasz tho

I think they nerfed p1 somewhat to make that specific comp not so necessary right

the first major thing that went wrong was looking at ilvl parse
the sin wolves r gonna eat him up
but you can do !log and post a log
Sure type !log and then post it in your thread
Nah they won’t
Because I’m the one
had 3 ppl hop in my thread
quake doing it personally
mythic is so much harder to parse on nowadays
r u eu
flaming some1 over eranog sounds like eu
my buddys US 5 billion guild
dayraided on sepulcher mythic
so they can get world 17th first boss

meaningful
its prolly still better than the average peoples guild
Should see our Sylv info LOL
guild name
Enrage Kills Only on Hyjal
LOL
We had like 3-4 different tanks
Hey man we still killed it and got CE lol
A kill is a kill
november 4
They don’t ask how, they ask how many
It was really painful
Could maybe someone check the mythic terros log i posted? Played assa on it for the second time ever and looking to see on where i can improve since i got grey T_T
On it
with the new update will assassin be better in myhtic +? or is it a nerf losing kingsbane
Since this is a support group, I'm sad to lose KB on Tuesday.
Slightly better but it’s not a night or day thing
You gain DTB. Lose KB. Still chuckling. The road to it will be missed though
I still wonder how these impacts are supposed to end up us going +-0 on dmg
This is what I understood that output will be the same
Yeah but DTB is boring 😦
current kb/ic going away makes me a bit sadge for m+
hi guys, does anyone go full ST build (raid build with SBS) for tyra m+?
would definitely suggest taking CT at least
we have dh + hunter and i'm thinking that I could be more useful with full st since I feel like I suck with that classic m+
not sure if there are any trolls here rn
going full st is meh
for m+
i do
for tyr
but isnt it without carnage?

i mean that was the same view for last season just sub instead
cant wait for a 8% rogue nerf, all specs
and then CT losing 20% dmg, improved garrote only 30% dmg now and poison bomb down to 2%for each CP
cus fuck assa

YEAH fuck assa
"you deserve that for not playing outlaw like everyone else, fucking punk"
Sbg and cos are both lower target dungeons so outlaw goes crazy
ye but they will nerf sin x2 b4 that
so unless u tryina lose raidspot
its better at least 1 or 2 specs r competitive
than none
Fuck it. I'd rather go back to 9.0
Lol ur fried
I'm tired of outlaw players
Sin didnt even play well in 9.0
Their brains are cooked man
Actual dogshit iteration
its definitely adhd wackamole playstyle
but it does huge deeps
i dunno, sub/sin for me is still way easier st than outlaw
dont know why
Cringe spec populated by egomaniacs who seem to only be able to function by trying to claim other specs are easy. While actively playing the easy spec.
They're just the most aggro
You ever hear someone say "eh idk I don't really like sin"? Most sin rogues say "oh okay that's cool"
yeah
Vs sin which is a gear check spec
Ever tell an outlaw you don't really like outlaw? They take it as a personal affront.
Sins my favorite but i mostly just like rogue
I like outlaw when it has a fun build going on
I'm also just tired of outlaw being the hero spec of rogues for the last 6 years
It’s never that serious relax 💀
Its moderately tiring having one spec always propped up for pve content.
Over the last three xpacs it has been, on the whole, the best of the three for pve content a pretty sizeable majority of the time

Well for once fire isn't the obvious go to
Locks at least get some spec diversity between patches
the one time sin is good in pvp
nerfed 8 times
and they have 0 survival unlike outlaw and sub
6 years ago?
I mean
if someone says "the one time"
why would you care if its 6 years ago
it literally isnt "the one time"

oh wow, thats fancy
The point seems obvious...
is skillcapped as big of a meme in wow community as in lol community?
moment, ill improve the design a bit
no, skillcapped is actually fairly decent
its not necessary/needed in any way, but its fine
and not bad enough to be a meme
their valorant shit is good too
for wow/valo i 100% recommend them
unless u wanted more 1on1pvp vod review/coaching i can help with that for na ppl
well there are really good players for every class/spec that you can watch aswell and even ask if you watch a stream, which isnt bad either
some comment their games
alright
xaryu is great for mage for example
yeah thing is, not every1 can extract proper info from just watching a pro player
perfect
some ppl watch venruki for 10 year and still r 1500 hardstuck
theres ppl ive carried to 2100 that were legit 10k games played in 1 season 1600 and they do homework religiously
its about learning HOW as opposed to bruteforce effort/timespent
yeah
i mean even fps games that r ez to watch
like valo/csgo
doesnt translate immediately
because you dont understand the why
and alot of content creators dont explain
they just do
riot games has very good observability
You've never seen the spreadsheet olympics
well shooter is a lot about personal skill that comes from actually playing and training aim, thats nothing a guide helps with anyways
Real thing too lol
They just have insanely good casters
Like their casters are actually so good at what they do its insane
but wow needs:
- A good ui that makes information visible (what not all streamers have)
- An ability timeline (what also not all streamers have)
- Good camera movement to make it easy to follow
- Good commenting/explenation for what you do
FGC has the best commentators cant change my mind
until that whole scandal that implicated half of them

rip EEE's friends
Oh man Arturo is in some shit right now
even with that I think wow is just never an actual esport
it upsets me so much sometimes i wish i could just go takeover esports and change that shit
e.g. if you watch valorant and lol, both can be watched without much game knowledge.
valorant champions was so fun
csgo compared to valorant is tough to watch
lol is fun to watch, toxic af to play rn
comentators carry a lot
anyone here have that Power Infusion spreadsheet? The one that shows who benefits most from it.
!pi
takes crazy mental to workaround walking on eggshells so the triggerhappy psychos dont throw on purpose
It's wildly outdated fyi.
Anyone with good poison WA? I mean reminder? Cannot find any for the new poisons.
If you're trying to figure out who to PI in your raids, you're better off having the raiders sim themselves with PI
I would think Sin gains the most value from PI
How does the next patch changes affect Assa ? Thinking about trying it out but is it better to try out Sub meanwhile we wait for the nerf and see how it affects ?
I run with spriest devoker so it always goes to scaly
assassination gets like 7-8% depending on your gear
which is strong
but yeah
!fuu has externals for all 3 specs
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
assassination is quite good with ~ 7% dps
#ad
yes
i got 2-3 people early on this tier
im sure i didnt play perfectly
who did dm me, who they should give loot
but an imperfect pull as sub feels like a shit
Man of the people
like i fucked up first secret tech cus it was a while since last sub pull
but still
secret does not like you anymore

so it counts as separate entity
Sin chat 🤨
yes, at least include sin numbers
ay there was 1 parse in there
that was sin
b4 i went back to law

5% wipe

ahd wrong gear on too, pulltimer finished b4 im done setting up
So are we just dead in the water as assasination except for the most simple single target fights like Terros?
its so dead, every1 is going dk/dh

i mostly want sin to be buffed so i can lounge
especially non exsang versions
👀
i miss watching netflix while raiding

I see, thank you

Note when making your !log threads
Firstly, we appreciate you wanting to get some feedback and we want to make sure that it gets seen. We do get a LOT of log reviews (check the active threads its kinda insane), and it's natural for some to slip through the cracks. I highly recommend tagging one of the CFs (MakeitQuake, Ceverion) or Whispy or Myself when you create the thread otherwise chances are we might miss it.
Second, it may take a while to get to your log review so if it takes a couple of days understand that we are trying out best. We do have some very helpful community members that try to help out as well and we love and appreciate them from the bottom of our heart.
@spice spire done


i get fucking pissed that i never manage to do better st DPS as assassination when compared to outlaw Ç_Ç
I get pissed when I see uhdk doing obscene boss damage by pressing 2 CDs and 2 buttons every 3 minutes

If I could read logs I’d help.
so
ping you, whisp and quake everytime we want a log review?

ping seli and guy
guy doesnt even know any assa talents lol

remember when guy during the podcast made up a sick tier set effect, where you gain dmg for each bleed/poison on the target
and then everyone was like "guy, thats a talent"

hey I have a question regarding assassination rogue since I havent played it for a while and wanted to make it my alt. I understand most of the rotation but I think there is a mechanic I'm not aware of. Reading the the wowhead st opener rotation it says ''to extend the duration in preparation for Exsanguinate''.
You do that with single shiv, like if you play ic + kb in m+
what does it means to extend the duration? we can extend bleeds beyond original duration?
Im not expert, but I believe you are asking about pandemic timers. When you refresh certain dots with X amount of time leftover, you get the full duration of the combo points spent plus a few additional seconds leftover from pandemic.
thats pandemic, under 30% of the duration of the bleed you can cast a new one and itll add to the duration
!pd
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
I understand now, ty
if i have normal garr and do one in van and it will be impowered fully ?
i just hit 70, and im learning. Is there any build with an easy rotation?
DragonTemp. without Exsan is easy to manage and good dps
k im gonna take a look. thanks
There are 2 variations; poisons and bleeds. We play poisons till 4 set, swap to bleeds at 4.
oh ok. the one in #assassination-faq is poisons or bleed?

thx for the advice
that dude should be jailed asap
he prob had to go take a shit and didnt wanna say the truth
all you have to do is take out IC and 3 points in the bleed=agi talent and you can have a singlet target build
so he died on purpose and left
So what can we expect from patch and m+ performance, really gonna be identical?
Guess it wasn't bad to begin with but ye
Somehow had high hopes for the new capstone
some rogue lost my 21 azure cuz he didnt swap to the crystals last boss feelsbadman
Hard to say how much the loss of zoldyck/kb is gonna hurt, but i don't like it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
im not that opposed to it, trading some ST when we have some of the best st in the game for some aoe which we are lacking, doesnt seem terrible
If i wanted aoe i
why the hell is raidbots telling me to gem inscribed for unique, but 70haste33crit gems everywhere else
i'll play pirate
pirate aoe is boring its just 1 button
🤷♂️
details would disagree with you
stop pretending y'all dont know how the spec works
i may hate it but i know how it works
I mean it isnt one button
but the thing that makes the rotation deal aoe dmg instead of ST is 1 button
i hit blade furry and continue on pressing what lights up
I just roll my face over the keyboard and when I look back at the screen everything is dead

Yep
Why are they nerfing kb
They arent
indirectly they are
Just moved position
I doubt this was the intention
Yeah
they are until next week
KB is actually better for most
they dont, but KB got a bit carried by its position cus you also had 3x zoldyck
now its in a position that heavy favors DtB
so you just take DtB and forget that KB is a thing
DS useless with KB 🙂
Wait is there a full list of changes
I need a picture of new talent trees or my brain will slide out my ears
Hi, quick question about sennarth, do you guys know if we can shadowstep during the grip ? watched a lot of videos but never saw anyone doing this, but i heard Max saying that we could so
2 sec
this ptr talent calc
you can, but you need to wait until your momentum stops or you will slide off again
U can but rng where it leaves u
the first assa video on youtube shows this
so you have to do it when after falling a bit
oh ok so that's a bit risky ?
gamba
Not really risky but u know
Stupid
It just leaves u far behind most of the time
😉
in my experience
oh ok thanks i will try in nm
yea
before going mm haha
When he is at a platform u just ss back to where u were
but while he is moving u random shadowstep 22 miles down
nerf amp poison and put dtb where dashing is and move dashing
buff the shit out of kingsbane, make dtb the subpar choice
sounds cooked
its supposed to be the easy pick for people who wanna slack, it shouldnt outperform
and its like when people boil sausages instead of putting them on the grill
i mean its off the dome i can come up with better if you want me to think about it
that kind of cooked
Just buff our dmg by 4% and call it good
Like less cooked than my minminning builds
i think dtb is nice but also shouldn't really be a capstone ability if you ask me
twist the knife is such a lazy and undertuned talent
Just buff KB by 6% 🙂
Surely that wont make it op in rasz 🙂
Let us burn the fucking boss
I think if the answer is to nerf a capstone choice node to where the active is better than the passive then why is the passive a capstone
Yeah I agree KB should be better than DTB
A passive no thought capstone should never be better than active
But thats not often how games are being done
apparently a 10.0.7 patch is coming as well hopefully they make more changes
Huff that copium
suck it in
huff and puff
giga brain
always
I think we'll continue to be tinkered with
They should make shiv apply kingsbane
so
It’s just sadge that a st spec like assa can be outdone by a uh dk that can also choose to do massive uncapped aoe
how the fuck do u nerf DTB


nerf amp
Or even enhance that has solid aoe when built
not necessarily
because it nerfs dtb harder
????
I think ass tree is mostly fine as it is rn
Except for twist the knife and intent to kill being shit
lol
Unless its because u say we take IP and stuff with DTB
Buff kb by 8%
intent to kill is a nonissue
theres no reason to ever want intent to kill and it doesnt interfere with pathing at all
KB increases damage based on poison applications, doesn't care about the amp poison damage itself
Idk I feel like I never see builds taking shadowstep talents
thats fine
yes
so
nerfing amp poison damage nerfs the whole thing, but affects dtb more
its not a damage choice so you dont need it
How does that make a difference
its not like it reduces amp dmg
just because u dont need amp dmg for kb stuff
that actually makes 0 sence
you're making no sense lol
make dtb reduce poison application chance and replace tiny toxic blade, but kb back in old spot
you asked how to nerf dtb. i told you a way to inadvertently nerf it and now your brain doesn't work
Take a talent that does same dmg with KB and with DTB
class fixed game saved
Our st in m+ already isn't great. I'd was basically saved by having all CDs+box in execute pump pretty hard in an environment where most classes hold onto their second set of CDs for AOE. Losing a lot of that niche isn't necessarily gonna end up well for us
What do you think about m+ changes Seliathan?
Seems like we have more ST but bit less aoe right?
no zoldyck hits aoe pretty hard i think
Yea thought so
But feels like current build does - ST dmg
So imo it feels good to trade a bit
I dislike the changes a lot. It completely removes build diversity from 2 viable and very different st and m+ builds to one each, with the alternative ones being significantly worse
There is no way u think we play AP+IC for some fort keys and stuff?
No, because you'll be healing the boss
True
We already played KB+IC. AP doesnt add any significant AoE damage
why would you want to nerf DtB
like
nerf assa
4head
It's 5 targets that take 25% more damage for a bit. We suck at 5t cleave.
I said it as a joke but then
Yeah was just from whispyrs sims
Seemed like more aoe but less ST, even tho its a lot less ST for a bit more AOE
Sad times then
I dont even remember what our current dungeon slice is at, guessing we losing quite a bit aoe tho
We had DTB and KB on st being very different builds with different ideas, now its basically just the same shit with slightly different flavor, and youll either sacrifice execute or the comfort of sbs+ss. Not good.
For AoE, you had DTB with a more st-dps focus, or KB/IC with heavy cooldowns and strong on demand damage and utility. Now you have... Some weirdass mix where you have to swap between Amp and DP constantly (and we no longer have a passive that increases poison cast speed like we did in legion when that was the case the last time around), or you play the old build that does negative boss DPS while giving you barely anything on top of what we already had
Yep
So we finally get to play double capstone like everyone else and it’s trash? Lol
Def dooming a bit
a bit lol
That’s a little embarrassing lol
The worst thing imo currently is that we dont even have blindside
I don't think its an improvement to the assa toolkit at all, not with the positions of all those talents. AP is hidden behind like 7 different talents that do absolutely nothing for bleed damage (besides zoldyck ig), while the pathing to kb/dtb is dramatically better for one of those 2choice nodes. While that's ultimately just a numbers-tuning issue, i dont like the general idea behind it
from blizz maybe
Will feel so bad on bosses
if you look at a lot of the other trees they just have multiple st and aoe options all over the place
Clicking ambush feels so good, I'm bummed.
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
like in the aff lock capstones like every talent has an aoe and an st option on the choice nodes
So
wtf is the change for
Raid players dooming
m+ players dooming
pvp players dont exist
presumably to let us get multiple capstones as a feel change
so def not them
it was an attempt to add support for cleave but its not being implemented too well
the problem is mostly in the execution
Yea I saw what Whispyr said earlier
lol what
Which makes sence, but not really
we now get multiple capstones that basically have no synergy with one another (except ic+AP and even that has different targetcaps and it skips every single st talent in the book)
Sin is already nerfed to shit what are we talking about here?
it was complained about all through beta
3 point nodes and single capstone were big points of contention
Yea
But if the whole tree is fuckd without the 3 pointers, just keep em at this point
assa rn is in a very good spot both in raids and in m+. i simply dont quite understand why we needed drastic changes to our spec tree. the few things that really irk me are still there
and make a whole tree rework in a later patch than a fixup imo
i still think it would be nice to be able to get multiple capstones
but i was reasonably content with the state of the spec tree before
I saw a looot of people early on in the expac complaining that we couldnt have DTB + another capstone
It seems like they were trying to kill 2 birds with one stone and address the 2x capstone thing but also add support for cleave since that's something that seems to pop up consistently as well. Is that wrong?
i think the new iteration has some interesting ideas but it also limits our builds and shit in a way thats less fun
thats not what people complained about
They complained about exsang lol
people didnt give a shit about dtb+IC cuz zoldyck outperformed it anyway
I mean yeah but we always do
people complained about 2 things: not having access to the power fantasy of dtb+kb together, and exsang. the changes dont improve either of those.
tbf exsang isn't that big of an issue though its a single talent on the side
I think exsang is fine as a 3 min
dont settle lol
cba doing it every 45 sec tho
Stockholme syndrome has taken full effect on me with Exsang
we can get something better than exsang
Def not that bad
and we will
you just invalidated your opinion to me
and exsang makes big numbers fast
in temrs of raid, we'Ll all just play the boring ass dtb build now. cool i guess. wont impact DPS a lot, will impact game enjoyment. i liked kb and blasting in execute. was fun while it lasted.
ofc
in terms of m+, i dont see how any of this is an improvement
just buff KB by 30%
Lose Exsang... remove TTB and give us back normal TB 😛
youll play some scuffed as fuck dtb+ic build that doesnt take any poison nodes cuz you dont have the points for it
just so you can still do decent ST
I agree
new wild take
no execute :o
nerf kingsbane by half
wtf…
but put it as a point right under dtb
above i mean
then have dtb on a choice node with your kb exploding on the last tick
na put kb under
to do big aoe
delete dtb
so unless theres some secret shadowdance AP bleed tech out there for ST
yeah that is better
So basically we are back at it again, the change hurts all players in a negative way, and the only reason is because the tree sucked from the start with 3 pointers that didn't get changed and now we trying to slowly get down from there, but without actually just reworking the tree completely
this is just... not good, imo. just one mans opinion, of course.
yes
🙂
I think a lot of the pain is pathing still
That sounded very dooming, but just trynna understand what is going on here
no it's very doomer right now
AP prob has the weirdest position of any talent in all the trees I know of
i mean in the past sure i guess
i feel like new expanded talent system should have options
Huh
part of the problem is binary st/aoe i think
you can never take points past shrouded in st
so ic has to be strong enough to be basically must take for aoe to ever be useful
Hot take but i dont mind Sin being an ST class and having the separate identities for AE and ST
then that locks up a bunch of aoe points that give you no st in keys, and also gives you less choice with your other points
this isn't a hot take i think
at all
the problem i have with AP is that its position makes no sense to me. i get the idea of having it behind TTB, i get that its supposed to serve as a "cleave" alternative on the left-hand side, opposite of IC. but it just doesnt work, imo. 20% amp for 8seconds isnt a meaningful number, unless you pair it with all the bleed stuff on the other side, and at that point your talent point economy is in the dumpster
I enjoy having sin being ST, outlaw being Cleave and sub being AOE. However I know many would rather be viable in all
And this isnt a thing anyways
ourt ST isn't even that great after nerfs lul
yeah @slim hamlet
They should just make all the 3 point nodes 2 points not just dashing
Also this was a lie, I actually enjoy sin a lot with current IC+KB in m+
I agree. I think a lot of the pain of the changes could've been avoided if ap was taking the middle node and KB / DTB was on the left under zold
Totally agree with this... It actually makes more sense
Based
you cant go middle capstone and DTB?
then you run into dashing being wack and useless
DTB is the middle cap
not really though
Oh I meant the left one
I like the idea of AP + IC more tbh
and its not even a bad pathing issue anymore at this point. its just having synergistic talents on opposite ends of the tree (i already complained about that in alpha/beta, how ct/fok on the left side and IC on the right side make things incredibly awkward)
Poison bomb -> dashing -> AP makes more sense than how they're doing it now
Just seems like a much more enjoyable build
Wouldn’t it help to have the other 3 point nodes be 2 points as well
not really
Still no blindside tho
the 1 point removal of dashing is a nerf right?
Or are they changing the values to adjust
i think it's getting evened out
u get a point in zoldyck instead
Ah ok
you go amp/ttk (envenom->poison bomb (envenom)->dashing (poison)-> AP (bleed)
Pretty much every other talent choice in the bottom tier is stronger than dashing.
So freeing that point up is good
yeah you'd have to put an arrow from amp going to the left side
AP is bleed but it's also applying shiv to 5 targets so its mixed technically
you get solid execute in the left side
I mean I have no idea what they should do
but then you get 2 shiv talents
and the middle is part envenom part poisons
the right is all bleeds but most of them are aoe only
We arent getting a full rework unfortunately
just keep left poisons, right bleeds, middle mixed
There is no sides that is anything
i know it's not but it could be
actually the 2 point shiv is okay
its all mixed around everywhere
yeah it is
other than the fact that it deals a whopping ~8-10k DPS less on ST, sure
The side that made most sence was KB side
imo left should be all about execute
Now there is a random cleave capstone at the end
I tried papa
I guess ttb makes sence with it
Ye
and aoe difference is minimal
Yeah getting blindside and Systematic failure is a huge dps nerf 😦
Get rid of TTB and bring back real TB
It’s like a 10-11% loss in single target for a 5% gain across most cleave/aoe
What about DTB + AP?
That’s what we’re talking about
Can we talk about our 2d women crushes again?
its just a big identity crisis
that always existed
its just more obvious now that things are shifting
what's our identity though
our identity is a constant state of identity crisis he already said
Toxic gamers
Poisoned trashcans
kingsbane enjoyer
Damn
like no joke, i think assa rn is great. could it be better? sure. was the last set of nerfs unnecessary? yeah. do we need(ed) sweeping changes? hell nah.
Imagine if us (the bleed/poison class) had a talent like sub one that applies rupture to 2 targets instead of 1
no yeah most of my gripes are about how its organized more than actual playstyle and stuff like that
ikr
imagine if we had that earlier in the tree instead of exsang
I agree we don't need sweeping changes, just some stuff re-arranged in talent tree pathing i think
speak for yoself
so we can take the cleave useless capstone and get an actual capstone
because now we got some more cleave
still sucks
i love DF assa gameplay, its just a bit weird that the spec constantly seems to change bettwen "you are ST only, and your raid aoe is subpar cus of it when other specs dont pay that tax" and "well, ofc sub does more pure st, you can multidot"
Just revert the %5 aura nerf we got a few weeks back lol
its weird
or what u wanna call it
it should just be more clear what each part of the tree is for
right side is the most clear i think
bleed/aoe
I wonder how much time was actually put in to think tanking and developing this capstone
I'm willing to bet not too many hours
