#

why

balmy condor
#

because you get 2 casts of it

#

the exsang timings are horrid

#

you use exsang first shield

#

irrelevant damage

#

pog

carmine dawn
#

sorry was in pull

balmy condor
#

now you're playing without a talent for the rest of p2

ebon notch
#

thats not really irrelevant tho

balmy condor
#

GIGA value

ebon notch
#

cause first shield going down faster means more time to do actual boss damage

balmy condor
#

sure

carmine dawn
#

but are you bringing it down that much faster

#

with exsang

#

1s vs .5s?

ebon notch
#

uhh i can check how much i did idk if we have any other logs to compare without exsang

balmy condor
#

so your claim is that exsanguinate is better than ip, because you do slightly more shield damage

#

and that means you get slightly more uptime

#

on the boss health

#

which is better

#

seems really cope

ebon notch
#

i said id play w.e did more damage

balmy condor
#

okay

ebon notch
#

i didnt know that a 2nd point in ip was better

#

so i played exsang

ebon notch
balmy condor
ebon notch
#

yeah but thats a fact

#

regardless of the state of taking exsang or not

carmine dawn
#

just play this week with IP

#

please

ebon notch
#

sure

carmine dawn
#

so i know

#

:)

ebon notch
#

this was my first shield dam

balmy condor
#

you can sort by boss damage

#

there's people playing without exsang

#

doing just fine

#

passassin the fucking clown played with boon

#

and he's 3rd in boss dam

#

he also is playing some venom rush shit

#

but ya know

#

se la vide

#

idk

#

I don't think exsanguinate is all that impressive for raz

ebon notch
#

its not necessary by any means

carmine dawn
#

oh lemme take back that kekl

ebon notch
#

but immuning one of the winds and then also being useful for a pack in first intermission is not a bad trade off

balmy condor
#

idk

ebon notch
#

no ik

#

but the way you worded it

#

made it sound like boon was a bad choice

balmy condor
#

like 2-3 weeks ago I was helping a bunch of people on mythic raz

#

one of them sent this

#

and I'm like

#

lmao

#

even if you completely ignore first phase and intermission

#

you get for first shield

#

then you get with cds on deathmark

#

and that's it

#

is it trolling? no of course not

#

but I think it's super unnecessary

ebon notch
#

yeah fair

balmy condor
#

I was talking about this with speed as well when method was on the boss

ebon notch
#

ill try with ip instead

balmy condor
#

he would've ran IP over exsang

#

but then swapped sub

#

I gotta look into why people are playing venom rush though

#

cause I can't get it to sim well

ebon notch
#

i mean

#

they probably took a point out

#

and just tried to find somewhere to dump it

balmy condor
#

yeah but you can't reach venom rush without going double shiv

#

you would have to take 2 points out

ebon notch
#

ew

#

wtf else did they lose?

balmy condor
#

ah well this was one before the patch kingsbane

#

maybe the fact that there's no split in wcl means it's just polluted with kingsbane builds

ebon notch
#

why didnt you tell me about ip when i was progging??

#

i couldve tested

balmy condor
#

you didn't ask shrugFreg

ebon notch
#

what was i supposed to ask smh

#

"hey any chance my talents are wrong?"

#

when i was progging there was like one public log

balmy condor
#

I don't go around talking to everyone about dropping exsang

#

just came up in convo with people during rwf

ebon notch
#

ill check in with you next tier

#

xoxo

oak sky
#

Box

balmy condor
#

idk

#

you'll have to ask him

ebon notch
#

id be like 6th on boss dam if log was public

oak sky
balmy condor
#

he did not

oak sky
#

Because venom rush/2nd shiv simmed pretty close for me last time i checked

#

And i dont have puzzle box

#

Could have something to do with that maybe

#

Idk

carmine dawn
#

bro sorry but how

#

dont you run a full key vault every week

ebon notch
#

agreon didnt you say 2nd shiv or smth was good for you

oak sky
#

Its venom rush

ebon notch
#

and it was like a 2k dps loss

oak sky
#

2nd shiv is an enabler

oak sky
carmine dawn
oak sky
#

Last time i simmed

oak sky
#

I dont run 8 algethars every week

carmine dawn
#

i need valor

#

blowing it rn

#

who can afford a puzzle box in this economy anyway

oak sky
#

Yeah man like

#

I have to upgrade shoulders or legs on reset basically

carmine dawn
#

tell me why heroic shoulders and mythic legs are the same ilvl

#

so cringe

oak sky
#

411 vs 415

carmine dawn
#

looks the same to me

toxic burrow
#

Man. I don't know whats going on, but I just feel weaker overall in dungeons this week for aoe. >_<

viscid mantle
#

Would you all say assassination is the best spec for Erranog on mythic?

carmine dawn
#

theyre all fine

#

i like playing assa on ST bosses tho

viscid mantle
#

Ah, do most people consider Err aoe since adds?

balmy condor
#

not really

#

most people consider eranog a heroic boss

jaunty lotus

Eranog is the mythic loot piñata

wind condor
#

They really need to remove valor cap at this point

#

We have catalyst, valor cap needs to be here as well

jaunty lotus

Good news, Valor cap is already here?

gusty mirage
#

I don't recommend tagging people about something like this in a public forum

#

if you know he's in here, you can DM him

ebon thorn
#

usually public shaming and peer pressure helps towards making someone stop exploiting

balmy condor
#

Write a twitlonger or something then

#

Don’t bring your garbage to us

ebon thorn
#

my garbage?

balmy condor
#

I mean, it ain’t mine

ebon thorn
#

i dont think its my garbage that someones doing sonething against game rules...?

balmy condor
#

You’re the guy tagging him

gusty mirage
#

then report him to blizzard

#

don't tag him in here in an attempt to publicly shame him

ebon thorn
gusty mirage
#

that's just creating more work for us to sort through the bullshit

ebon thorn
#

ok :)

balmy condor
#

Thank you :)

thorny pond

more crappy AAs

why do PUGs suck there?

balmy condor

Big aoe mean brain off

Pad time

had a tank insist that we pull all the stuff before 4th boss but nobody used the bombs. either interrupted or took them out of the adds

#

Kinda big nerf to Kurog and Dathea tbh

#

Don't think Kurog needed it

trim dirge
#

surprised kurog got nerfed

lament warren
#

theyre just staging nerfs

#

this is for wr 100 to 500

#

and then they will nerf again for 500 to 1k

#

either that's the big nerf or the next one is

#

that opens the floodgates for every really end-tier ce guild to get ce

next edge
#

guilds around 1,6k-1,7k get CE, no?

lament warren
#

idk

#

lmfao

next edge
#

I mean

#

from Kurog to no kuro

#

there's almost 1k guilds in between

#

LOL

#

top 480 are 5/8 M

#

Silly question, has the Assassination talent page on wowhead been updated since, what, tuesday? whenever they screwed with talents and reset them on me

teal bloom
#

yes it's updated for patch 10.05

balmy condor
#

they work fine for me

sweet tiger
#

No, sorry, I mean my talents reset in-game on tuesday and I"m just now getting around to replacing my loadouts

#

and i just wanted to make sure the wowhead pages had gotten updated, because i couldn't find a date on them

I'm not real bright, so it's entirely possible i just missed it

balmy condor
#

oh

#

yeah

#

all guides have been updated

#

since the patch

#

we have deadlines for that kinda stuff :P

sweet tiger
#

lol i suppose you would. didn't occur to me that might be a thing

#

deadlines, i mean

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

the guides for a patch update actually go live like the night before

#

pro tip

#

sometimes during the maint on tuesday if it's fucky

#

can get some early reading in

sweet tiger
#

Ah. Talents are more complicated than I'm capable of understanding on my own now, so this is the first time I'm using a guide for the pasting.
It makes sense that you'd get them up before the patch, though, i guess this was a very silly question

balmy condor
#

I've seen much sillier don't worry

sweet tiger
#

i still don't understand how rogues work, tbh, but at least i do better dps on my rogue than on my dh

#

i'm just glad i don't have to figure out talents on my own

balmy condor
#

wowanalyzer is pretty good if you have logs

#

can help point out mistakes

royal lantern
sweet tiger
#

noted. Only my monk has logs, atm, but maybe i'll do something with my rogue that gets logged eventually and i'll get myself straightened out

#

nobody logs timewalkers DX

balmy condor
#

yeah dungeon logs are uh

#

sketch

sweet tiger
#

additional silly question, there are three talent loadouts for assassination on wowhead. what am i looking for as a solo player whose primary goal is surviving asspulls in the open world?

balmy condor
#

erm....

sweet tiger
#

mostly a joke, but i do wonder which is best for soloing mobs in reasonable groups

balmy condor
#

honestly dtb m+ is fine

sweet tiger
#

about three at a time

balmy condor
#

would probably suggest that

#

but I would make some changes

#

give me a second I'll whip something up

sweet tiger
#

oh, that would be lovely

keen raven
#

Nelf gives garrote from stealth bonus I presume right?

#

tryna figure out if i go nelf or dark iron rn

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

doesn't work on bosses cause you can't stealth

keen raven
#

ah really fuk

balmy condor
#

you need to use meld to drop combat

#

and then stealth

keen raven
#

sadge

#

Just finished raz so no longer ugly tauren boi

sweet tiger
#

Thanks, Whispyr

balmy condor
#

np

sweet tiger
#

Is there any value to Subterfuge as a talent? I know it used to be helpful to me, back in, you know, Legion, but I skipped BFA and Shadowlands and I have noticed that none of the builds seem to take it.

royal lantern
balmy condor
sweet tiger
#

Ah, so Garrote did change

balmy condor
#

now it's basically some niche pvp talent for extra cheap shots

sweet tiger
#

I thought I was going crazy

keen raven
#

would be sick for bosses/keys

sweet tiger
#

my rotation addon kept telling me to use it and i was confused because i wasn't in stealth! and then i found out it can be used out of stealth now.

balmy condor
#

oh

#

you're that old

sweet tiger
#

yes

keen raven
#

guess its dark iron or orc then

balmy condor
#

garrote in stealth got removed with prepatch for legion

#

it went rotational for assassination in legion

sweet tiger
#

The last time I played on this toon was Legion, but I cannot stress enough how awful I have always been at rogue.

royal lantern
#

or you just dont care about race cus it doesnt matter peepoguns

sweet tiger
#

The only toon I've ever been useful on is monk. I'm hoping that eventually the rogue becomes useful, but i'd have to become unstupid first

sweet tiger
#

Amplifying Poison says that Envenom "can consume 10 stacks of Amplifying Poison", max 20 stacks. Does that mean that it can only consume 10 stacks, no more and no less, and that AP will stack to 20, which gives a bit of leeway between Envenoms?

balmy condor
#

yes

sweet tiger
#

Just wanted to verify that I understood, thanks

balmy condor
#

np

sweet tiger
#

How many Lethal and Nonlethal poisons can I have? Or, where do I find that information?

balmy condor
#

1 of each, unless you play dragon tempered blades

#

then it's 2 of each

sweet tiger
#

Ah.
Last question for the moment, why does Envenom insist on two specific poisons, despite there not being any indication of needing Deadly or Wound poisons in the tooltip?

balmy condor
#

not entirely sure what you're referring to

sweet tiger
#

When I click Envenom without either Deadly or Wound poison, it gives me an error message saying "You do not have Deadly or Wound Poison equipped."

#

I can't figure out why

balmy condor
#

oh

#

probably an old warning

#

when we only had deadly or wound

royal lantern
sweet tiger
#

i told you i was terrible at this game, i don't know why you're surprised

#

lol

#

Should I be using Wound+Deadly and...Amplifying+Crippling poisons?

#

or is Instant/Numbing better

balmy condor
#

deadly/amp

#

never instant, never wound (in pve)

winter moss
balmy condor
sweet tiger
#

For my second lethal, though, it sounds (from that sentence) i should use wound?

winter moss
#

SAD ok

balmy condor
sweet tiger
#

oh, i thought it was non letha

#

l

balmy condor
#

damage = lethal

sweet tiger
#

i see. That makes sense

#

I think I understand now

#

Is Poisoned Knife part of my combo-building rotation? I only see Mutilate and Shiv as my other two builders

balmy condor
#

i dont even have it on my bars

sweet tiger
#

I figured I was doing something wrong.

sonic spindle
#

I’ve been playing sin for years and I’ve never stopped feeling that way tbh

sweet tiger
#

So I should be waiting for energy for Mutilate, then? Rather than going for the single point from Knife?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

knife does negative dps

#

might as well pop a bandage and heal the mob

topaz bluff
#

I have knife on my bars to spam when the vault boss flies to the center of the room; other than that I never push it lol

#

its not on a hotkey and just poked away in an corner

sweet tiger
#

Thanks

kind forge
#

you need it to tag targets in open world Kapp

balmy condor
#

bone spike does that

#

much better

sonic spindle
#

I use knife for that world quest to knock berries out of trees

raven vapor
#

any chance I can get a quick log review on a partial mythic brood ST log? WoWAnalyzer isn't giving me what I need due to switching to adds and dropping dots on the boss during the phase change.

topaz bluff
#

finally 4pc after reset tomorrow lets goooooo

sweet tiger
#

Before, I had a talent that procced Ambush. What was that talent called? I can't seem to find it now, was it removed?

topaz bluff
#

blineside?

#

blindside*

sweet tiger
#

ah, yes

#

figures it's the one i didn't mouse over before

timber basalt
#

you can use knife to kill random explosives your ranged are too pepeg to do

vestal wren
#

such a nice guy

knotty schooner
#

Is it efficient to switch from outlaw in AoE to assassination in ST and raiding?
like if my gear is minmaxing outlaw stats

knotty schooner
vestal wren
#

no

#

stat weights are irrelevant

#

if you want a general direction

#

critical strike you usually want the most

#

mastery and haste are good as 2nd stat

knotty schooner
vestal wren
#

vers you usually avoid if possible

knotty schooner
#

Rest is dumped in verse

vestal wren
#

but for gear, just throw it in the sim

knotty schooner
royal lantern
#

just sim

#

and you can see the ST difference

knotty schooner
grim jay
#

Vers isnt that bad just because its worse. Someone in my guild plays outlaw and just recently started on his sin gear, being at 26% mastery with a lot of vers, but doesnt sim that much lower than me with mostly optimized gear

knotty schooner
grim jay
#

Just sim it and dont be afraid just because its not the most desired setup. You could even do a gearcompare sim with your setup vs optimal pieces with the ilvl of your stuff to see the difference

regal cloud
#

Hey someone know if assa Mastery Dr start at 30% or higher?

topaz bluff
#

Im at 36 crit 43~mastery crit/mastery are still my prefered stat weights for example

regal cloud
grim jay
topaz bluff
#

pvp is different beast; just go verse/+

regal cloud
#

If there's a 2nd Dr on Mastery past 40 I'll just go hast for quicker global but idk where are the Dr's so

regal cloud
regal cloud
topaz bluff
#

iirc haste in general is good for pvp and usually the number 2 stat anyways over much else; might have changed over the past month though

#

cause aslong as you stacking verse gameplay is more critical in rogue comps usuall

#

usually

balmy condor
#

DR's

grim jay
#

DR is bs

regal cloud
#

Aight

#

All in Mastery then starege

grim jay
topaz bluff
#

haste is/was good in pvp for the tick rates opposed to instantly getting everything dispelled; or was more towards the start of the season

regal cloud
topaz bluff
#

usually setup is more key than stats even in pvp for that reason

regal cloud
#

Not on this season but yeah

#

Pvp related talk ig ^^

topaz bluff
#

If you dont have setups a lot of the meta classes will instant clear all your dots+cds with a single button press. That's why pvp (channel) is more focused on gameplay that stats more or less

lament warren
#

evoker caut so pog

topaz bluff
#

I just hope the PvP nerf we're likely to get doesn't spill into PvE

royal lantern
#

they litearlly allready did a pvp nerf

#

blizz is smart enough to put "against players" in front of minigame related stuff

#

play destiny, and you will know true pain of a game dev that doesnt want to seperate pve and minigame balance OMEGAKEKW

topaz bluff
#

Will for sure get a few more changes than the shiv. RMP/RPP/RPS pretty much carrying the AWC right now; with a sprinkle of evoker healers in there.

royal lantern
#

i dont even know what a single of those names except rmp means

#

who plays PvP

#

and wtf is the AWC omegalul

topaz bluff
#

:p, pvp isn't my cup of tea either don't fault you there.

10.1 seems to highlight ret changes, but no word on the rework of Ex 😦

grim jay
#

They wont, haters pissed and then we get a halfassed rework thats worsemonkahmm

royal lantern
#

tbf, paladin class tree is somehow a bigger mess than the rogue tree

topaz bluff
vestal wren
#

the early trees all seem to have problems with tree design

#

so for what its worth rogue got fucked by getting a tree early

topaz bluff
#

I thought they were more concerned with re-working pally damage as a whole rather than a big class tree re-focus

#

maybe I misunderstood

grim jay
#

I dont think its that bad tho. Some talents are trash, but we got good builds running

#

I dont hate exs either

#

It is what it is

vestal wren
#

i mean, personally i don't mind it much

grim jay
#

The only thing that annoys me is that for sin only one final capstone is worth on st

vestal wren
#

the rogue tree has at least one decent option for all 3

#

but the amount of choice is fairly low

topaz bluff
vestal wren
#

and it is from a objective standpoint a rly bad designed tree

grim jay
royal lantern
grim jay
#

If you wanna be optimal you wont have much of a choice

royal lantern
#

find weakness gating shadowdance, and then balancing stealth talents arlund shadowdance when find weakness is really bad for sub and does actually nothing for assa

vestal wren
#

the problem is, you are forced to pick so much talents

royal lantern
#

^

topaz bluff
#

1 capstone for regrowth you can even use, hotw for 30% autoattack damage if you go raze build, and I guess NV is the weird option you can take, but if you go raze you cut your ST damage to crap so NV doesnt really do much anyways lol.

I at least get tea and ER on my rogue lol

vestal wren
#

when traversing down the tree

#

so you can't rly skip anything and have no choice

#

even if talents would end up in a "pick this" manner

royal lantern
#

left side sub tree is ussuless

vestal wren
#

you still would have situational choice or alternatives

royal lantern
#

left side assa is a mess

topaz bluff
royal lantern
topaz bluff
#

ahh; yeah thats crap; i think its used in pvp though?

royal lantern
#

way more stuff needs to be baseline

grim jay
#

Im a simple guy, as long as I have overall competitive builds I dont care for choice

royal lantern
#

like sorry, but shadowdance in the class tree is a bad idea cus it takes so much away from sub

vestal wren
royal lantern
#

make 1dance charge baseline for sub and remove class dance

vestal wren
#

this is not what you have on the rogue tree

royal lantern
#

make seal fate baseline for assa and remove from tree

topaz bluff
grim jay
vestal wren
#

basically the fun thing is

#

outlaw is the only spec that talents into shadow dance

royal lantern
#

ik

#

cus find weakness lol

vestal wren
#

i also don't mind it on the rogue tree

topaz bluff
#

guardian has to PICK survival instinct (shield wall) AND Ironfur both (as an example of other classes)

#

in theory you can play bear without even having ironfur (but thats class tree things lol) O.o

#

Just listed that example as us not being the only ones who have to talent into "mandatory" things. That's just a weird design thing with some classes. Considering druid just got their re-work I doubt that design aspect will ever change this expac.

#

did they ever fix nightstalker?

bold drum
#

no still does nothing

vestal wren
topaz bluff
#

would that be a big or small buff to 2d sub at this point?

drifting cloud
#

they wont fix it because they like rogues current spot and dont see a point giving them 1.5% buff or whatever it was

grim jay
#

They already said there might be a nerf if they fix NS

kind forge
#

i dont mind a nerf - just fix NS

topaz bluff
#

or just delete it so some builds dont have to waste the 2 points with the pathing over there lol

kind forge
#

whole right side is Cring

wild storm
#

Not home rn so I can't look, but is there a way we could still run DTB /IC and pick up SBS in m+ at least ?
I loved sbs a lot in shadowlands as sin rogue. It was such a fun playtime and a badass looking ability.

grim jay
#

What does it matter rn if you take it for pathing or take it bcs you need to bcs of the nerf starege

topaz bluff
#

its just silly to be wasting 2 talents that could be used for SOMETHING useful lol

kind forge
gusty mirage
grim jay
#

Or UH DK

gusty mirage
#

I refuse to acknowledge uhdk out of anger

grim jay
#

BM aswell

kind forge
#

im glad for those arms guys tho

grim jay
#

Tho

gusty mirage
#

Especially if they sign up for azor’s patreon

grim jay
topaz bluff
#

yeah, at least something like -10 energy off feint, iron stomach or even shadow runner could at least have a use somewhere lol

gusty mirage
#

None of the reasons for rogue nerfs have any credibility anymore, and the reasons for not fixing NS also have lost all credibility

#

Esp when we’re watching warriors press ignore pain as a dps ability and shitting out damage

grim jay
#

My warriorguy is shitting out

#

But its not damage

gusty mirage
#

They literally reworked arms after buffing it

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

Arms woke up doing 8% more damage

grim jay
#

13

#

They said

gusty mirage
#

Meanwhile an NS fix is TOO strong

topaz bluff
gusty mirage
grim jay
#

@gusty mirage looks fine starege

gusty mirage
#

Yeah wouldn’t want rogue too strong

#

God forbid

grim jay
#

Variance on enh OMEGAKEKW

kind forge
gusty mirage
#

Kinda, it’s just a fat absorb they get

topaz bluff
#

Maybe they'll un-nerf Ex 🙃

gusty mirage
#

Idr if it also has dr

topaz bluff
#

its just an absorb

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

If they won’t fix NS because outlaw and sub would have to get nerfed from that ENORMOUS 1.8%(?) dps jump

#

Exsang ain’t coming back

topaz bluff
#

Old Ex wasnt as big of a pain imo. It was easy to learn/use. 3min cd Ex feels clunky as shit

gusty mirage
#

Maybe we see a buff to tiny toxic blade PEPELA

#

Seems to be their game plan, buffing things we don’t use anyway

#

Look at that “buff” sub got in 10.0.5

#

To that talent you don’t take outside of pvp

gusty mirage
grim jay
#

To make us use it since people like choicesmonkahmm

topaz bluff
#

then they made it have no affect in PvP

gusty mirage
#

Lmao

#

I love all these choices we have as rogues

topaz bluff
gusty mirage
topaz bluff
#

at least I got to play with KB some haha. AP I havent even tried in M+ 😦

gusty mirage
#

idk I can’t wrap my head around the repeat nerfs, the specs that had choices got them heavily dumpstered

#

And then I see shadowpriest and arms warrior and frost mage

#

And I’m like okay?

#

Frost got what? 3 big buffs in a row?

I think s&d is fine. Please God don't make me have to press it multiple times again in a fight..

balmy condor

If it were passive, would that be better?

gaunt moat

Oxi
they gave us that talent, because they felt this ability should not be maintained. it should be baseline.
it's a "soft removal"
and at this point, there's no point to gimp yourself and not take the talent
this offers little choice and the use of SnD is boring and adds to button bloat.
button bloat = not good.
removing and making baseline = good

gaunt moat

It feels good when I have to envenom to keep uptime in AoE, AND get a Pbomb proc during CT spam

No, they gave us cut to the chase because assassination was fucking awful in 9.0 and they threw anything they could to make it good

topaz bluff
#

without SnD I'd never envenom for a Pbomb xD

wild storm

Button bloat = bad but why make it Baseline. That's such a poor design

Snd wasn’t an issue for outlaw or sub in 9.0, but it was for assassination

Enrage weeks is dumb too because its only good if every mob is enraged at the same time.

I have no issue with tricks.
But SnD
It's not a cool button. you barely feel anything happen when you press it.
it's a relic buff from vanilla.
We keep getting new cools abilities, this means we don't need boring old ones.
It's okay to be modern.

gusty mirage

But evoker soothe is so much better and less of a loss for them

I would personally disagree. RTB is in my opinion the most dogshit, vile rng filled ability they have ever added to the game, on any spec. It being any amount of rotationally altering is a disgrace to class design as a whole and should never have survived past legion alpha to begin with.

Slice and dice might be boring but I least I don’t want to stab myself with a kitchen knife when I press it

gaunt moat
#

ok, you're mixing two things

#

effectiveness and "fun".

#

RtB implementation could be better.
but it's fun to use (i'm talking from casual perspective)

balmy condor
#

And most people would agree

#

I personally have so much fun with RTB that it makes me change specs

#

I can’t handle all the fun I have pressing it

gaunt moat
#

It's hard to optimize, yes.

#

SnD is easy to optimize.
so easy, that you press it once and can remove from action bar

#

so what i'm saying is.. it's already a passive.
just make it a passive.

balmy condor
#

Rtb isn’t even hard to optimize

#

It’s just a piece of shit

#

That’s all it is

royal lantern
#

you press rtb

#

if wa saya good, its good

#

if wa says bad, you press again when its off cd

#

thats how 99% play around rtb lol

gaunt moat
balmy condor

The most rtb has ever done is allow outlaw rogues to argue endlessly over which 0.01% better reroll logic is better

When in a weeks time they’re both wrong
