Who’s laughing now?

everyone, some at you some with you

earnest remnant
#

video games are my happy space

keen spruce
#

I normally quit half way through an expansion, clear all items/inventory/bank/gold off all of my toons so that "this time it will be for good"

#

then come back the next xpac and have to level a new rogue

gusty mirage
gray crest
#

i use to quit mid xpac because of school

gusty mirage
#

I quit mid bfa for the bar exam

keen spruce
gusty mirage
#

That was cool

keen spruce
#

i feel like this dickhead

#

every time i roll a new rogue

gusty mirage
#

Lmao

keen spruce
#

I'd like to think that this new job will slowly drag me away from the game, but if it makes me too successful then i'll just retire early and play wow all day again anyways

#

cursed

drifting cloud
keen spruce
#

I think the only solution is a civillian GF that's way hotter than you

gray crest
#

i had a couple of astro classes that would go up untill 10 pm on wednesdays and I ended up just quitting the game because of it. then i graduated and started playing again lol

ebon notch
#

is this boomer chat now or what

keen spruce
drifting cloud
#

you and warchieft can go play fortnite

#

or whatever you kids do these days!

ebon notch
#

@limber lion unironically was like "should I play fortnite?"

#

and i was like

drifting cloud
#

I actually played it 5years ago a decent bit starege

keen spruce
#

I played fornite when it was a zombie base defense game BBoomer

#

pre-BR

ebon notch
#

i played like 2 games

drifting cloud
#

shitloads of pve aswell yeah

ebon notch
#

idk

drifting cloud
#

then I swapped to apex

ebon notch
#

i miss original warzone

#

holy fuck that game was so fun

keen spruce
#

PUBG on launch was the way

ebon notch
#

i put in way too many hours

earnest remnant
#

i miss cod blackout

keen spruce
#

so much content

#

content generated by moments, not content in the game

#

there wasn't dick in the game KEKPog

subtle tundra
#

I play eft(I like self induced torture)

#

😔

keen spruce
#

eft is goated

#

that shit is like heroin

indigo epoch
#

Hit 40. Still alive. Still playing wow since day 1. Still dig rogue.

keen spruce
#

i quit before the inertia patch

#

i feel like I need a 12 step program to keep me away

subtle tundra
#

Ayo recent stamina and recoil changes go hard af

dreamy elk
#

Does hunter disengage also help mitigate Tempest Wing AOE? Or do they still eat the full damage + DOT?

#

Ergh, wrong channel sorry.

paper wraith
#

do i still use buzzing runes if sims are saying haste gives me more dps than crit

#

thats probably a silly question

drifting cloud
#

you can sim the rune combos

paper wraith
#

O i didnt know that thanks

drifting cloud
#

shouldnt matter that much but a different combo could be better for your char

storm talon
#

Just started rogue, quick question: With being lower ILVL, I should look at bracket parses instead of overall right?

keen spruce
#

probably, depends on what item level

#

both have their own value tho

storm talon
#

I am 377 right now and parsing green overall

pseudo hamlet
#

You really shouldn't look at the logs at all with that ilvl.

#

As long as the bosses are dying and you're catching up gear it's fine.

keen spruce
#

that's pretty normal / good i would say. i'm assuming ou're doing normal?

outer arrow
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
keen spruce
#

also what eazye said yeah

storm talon
#

yeah normal, not going to get carried through heroic LOL

keen spruce
#

more important to look at the logs themselves and make sure you're hitting the right buttons

drifting cloud
#

its ok to look at it but you shouldnt think about it too much, better to try to analyze other stuff in logs

errant comet
#

Its possible to acquire Pikaboos Dagger tmog?

#

Te red transparent one

keen spruce
keen spruce
#

oh i think he uses the legion artifact one

#

some are still atainable

#

not sure about that one specifically

errant comet
#

I was trying to do mage tower but i dont know if i will recive something

keen spruce
little light
#

You get the armor set mog from mage tower I think thats a bout it

keen spruce
#

these ones?

errant comet
keen spruce
#

lemmy check one sec

errant comet
#

was looking for daggers and swords that stand on back and only found the artifacts

keen spruce
#

no idea if this text is still current with the return of the mage tower

#

might not be obtainable GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

errant comet
#

was trying to complete the challenge but its only a click on dialog

#

was afraid if i will recive something

pseudo hamlet
#

If you have base tint, you should be able to get other tints. If you don't have it now, you probably won't have it because it was time-limited reward.

solemn mason
#

I'm pretty sure you can't get them anymore

errant comet
#

So i needed to have the light blue one first ?

keen spruce
#

Neurosurgen's tool is the only dagger transmog you need anyways

pseudo hamlet
#

Check out the Appearance Tab "Legion Artifact".

keen spruce
#

or broken silversnap bottle

#

or barman shanker

#

only 3 approved dagger xmog

So you didn't finish the Mage Tower challenge in Legion...

#

Bad news besad

keen spruce
#

i've only got the red and blue ones

errant comet
#

When i go to the forge of the artifcat it shows 'X' on the hidden appearence

#

With the new dtb build are we just shipping shiv on CD

indigo epoch
#

TLDR: yes

sour elm
#

my guild is progging on H Raz 🙂 I wanted to ask what you all do in the 2nd phase adds. I felt strong in phase one but felt nearly useless on the 2nd phase.

Any tips or is it just sad rogue times in 2nd phase

#

oh Im running the recommended ST DTB build

weak horizon
#

assassination rogue is hella sad during add phsae

#

phase*

#

i went sub to help out since we needed more add dps

royal lantern
weak horizon
#

i think you just have to accept you're going to suck during add phase and that you more than make up for it elsewhere

royal lantern
#

like, they die to casual cleave

sour elm
#

so its not even worth trying to pick up crimson tempest or anything?

royal lantern
#

nah

sour elm
#

got it

weak horizon
#

only if your group needs more add dps

sour elm
#

we are pretty good on add dps; we got a lot of cleavers

limpid ermine
#

You'll hopefully catch up on shield parts if you line up your big cds well

sour elm
#

thats what Im hoping for

weak horizon
#

cool, you just lose too much ST if you take CT

sour elm
#

saving puzzle jsut for the shield haha

weak horizon
#

yeah if you go KB you're gonna slap in all the shields

#

oh wait

#

KB dead LOL

sour elm
#

RIP KB

weak horizon
#

guess you'll just slap 1st and 3rd shield

static glacier
#

do we have a sim of pi only in execute?

#

(sub 35%, probably aligned with dm)

#

and box

royal lantern
#

what would be the point of that lol

brisk tapir
#

what's the point of double casting garrote and rupture in the sin opener? just to max their duration before exsang/dm?

royal lantern
brisk tapir
#

ok glad to know my guess was right

storm onyx
static glacier
slow marsh
#

You can sim yourself for execute with or without pi

gaunt moat
green juniper
#

is this week's m+ affixes are really boring/hard/bad or my first and last run was cursed? jesus AV was tough

#

also is it better to run ST talents this week bosses are like bulletsponge

oak sky
#

Usually you still run a similar aoe build for tyran

#

Especially since pulls are usually bigger

north basin
#

tinker bracers are dps gain when eqieped with neltharion flametower socket thingy?

shut owl
royal lantern
#

getting pi as rogue

#

lmao

little light
#

I wouldnt complain even if its suboptimal :p

south pollen
#

what kind of stats % should we aim for as assa?

spice spire
south pollen
#

yeah its just that im about to change one piece into tier and looking which to prefer 😛

spice spire
#

Yeah you can check via top gear. It has a catalyze option kekdog

south pollen
#

oh yeah?! nice!

#

thank you

subtle kiln
#

so ex outlaw main. saw jpc playing the spec on stream. how bad is a 1H weapon as an offhand or am I ok to blast?

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

yes

copper hazel
#

!OH

prisma monolithBOT
#

Mutilate requires a dagger in both hands, this makes using a non dagger weapons undesirable.

gusty mirage
#

go for it

#

you want to use a 1h sword

#

because they cut longer

#

than daggers

copper hazel
#

blunt force makes you bleed more right

#

so a sword does more of that

#

ez

gusty mirage
#

just saying

sonic spindle
#

That flail does look good, I feel like so many people are going to have it tho

subtle kiln
#

gigity

#

go outlaw. sub dead.

sonic spindle
#

Outlaw has cool flail mog

sour elm
#

eh ive mained outlaw since the start; need a change

vestal wren
#

can't be that bad, right

gusty mirage
#

true

#

just run double diver's folly

#

and build primarily with fok

vestal wren
#

classic 🙂

oak sky
gusty mirage
#

that was before his time

#

bfa was the best

#

assassination was arguing over whether it was worth running 3x Echoing Blades or 2x + 1 TtK

#

outlaw was arguing over breath vs blood of the enemy vs meme beam

oak sky
#

SHOW ME ONE SIM

gusty mirage
#

and sub was like "blizzard I think you forgot about us"

oak sky
#

YOU FUCKING BABOON

gusty mirage
#

and the only spec that was correct in all of bfa

#

was sub

#

because holy shit

#

legit killed the niche

#

and left to rot

oak sky
#

Right shuriken combo

#

Deadge

spice spire
#

Bfa was before my time

gusty mirage
#

actual funnel

spice spire
#

(current time)

gusty mirage
#

like not the copium shit we lie to ourselves about these days

#

legitimate aoe -> ST funnel

oak sky
#

Remember frost mage sub rogue funnel in 9.1 kekw

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

yeah I remember people pretending pressing eviscerate was more prio damage

#

vs bp

#

and it turns out

#

it was like spamming CT vs Envenom in AoE for assassination currently

#

irrelevant

oak sky
#

I would just rupture the big mob and call it a day usually

#

On sub

gusty mirage
#

did you miss the "remove rupture from you bars" era in SL?

oak sky
#

Yeah

#

Apparently

versed canopy
#

I played combat/outlaw rogue all the way from BC to DF. dabbled with sub until they changed it in legion and i didnt like the rotation.

subtle kiln
#

i miss the old funnel days. niche was nice.

outer cairn
#

hmm. got 2 sparks now. gonna craft cowl so its ready to go when i get eranog ring. not sure what to do with the other

#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
loud light
outer cairn
#

Honestly just be another shortblade to 418. gotta grind up the focus though. need 5 more to get bracers to 418, 10 for cowl, then need another 10

most likely

How far behind is sin wrt the good specs in like 20+ keys? Starting to gear up rogue again with primal chaos changes and not sure which way to go. Outlaw feels kinda clunky with shadow dance and such now imo so kinda looking to avoid it

indigo wing
#

could sin not use coldblood?

vestal wren
#

sin has no powerful attack to use it with

#

so, while you could use it, it is not that strong

nocturne current
#

Hmmmm I do use Cold Blood in one very specific scenario.

#

That I call slam dunk.

somber hill
#

u could cold blood ER or Envenom ig but not that worth

indigo wing
#

im just struggling so hard in M+ anything above a 17 i struggle with st or aoe its like i either do alot of aoe and no st or little aoe and alot of st i cant seem to find a perfect balance like with sub

nocturne current
#

I have a PVP build with nightstalker, you put 10 amp poison charges on the target with bleeds ticking, then you Puzzle Box & Shiv and then I have a PVP macro that uses Vanish, Tea, Cool Blood and Death From Above into the target and you literally jump from nowhere into the target and hit for like 150K from 100% crit + 100% mastery.

It's basically one shot most of times.

deep badge
#

what for a cheap enchant for weapons should i use if i am a broke little rogue? 🙂

nocturne current
# indigo wing plz share

#showtooltip Death From Above
/cast Vanish
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Thistle Tea
/cast Death From Above

Nightstalker
Prey on the Weak
Cold Blood
Tea
Fatal Concotion
Amp Poison
Death From Above

Setup: Before combo -> Deathmark -> Kidney -> Puzzle Box -> ER -> Shiv -> Macro .. dead

It feels like using Darius ultimate.

brazen zodiac
#

#pvp might be better for this

#

that sounds cool tho but anything relating to darius is a 👎

#

remove champ.

royal lantern
nocturne current
#

Nah not even worth it, it's just meme build, PVP with puzzle box lul

this week can be a bit funky cus spitefull sucks when you want a IC garrote pull, but still

brazen zodiac
#

we love spiteful starege

spice spire
#

What you call funky I call padding

brazen zodiac
dreamy gull
#

is it bad if prot pally is outdpsing me against gutshot

royal lantern
#

prot paladin can do ridicolous aoe dmg

#

sooooo, happens sometimes?

dreamy gull
#

yea

#

it was just one boss

#

i guess probably from the adds

brave mason
#

does internal bleeding make kidney shot benefit from ER? since it becomes a dmg finish move?

slim hamlet
#

would take legit 1 min to check

#

but no

pulsar relic
#

should you hold exang for deathmark assuming you'll get full use out of both

#

or just use it when you have ER

teal bloom
#

You hold exsang for deathmark if you won't lose a cast by doing so

#

In kill times like 3:30 to 4:10 you can also hold 2nd deathmark for 2nd exsang because you wouldn't get a 3rd cast of deathmark

How can I sell my raid lead on Assassin for Raz?

gray crest
#

send him the video of endwyr doing mythic raz

dreamy gull
#

Tell him not to be a whiney bitch

limber lion
#

Lalala

balmy condor
#

I feel like if you don't know how to sell assassination to your raid lead

#

you probably shouldn't be playing it

#

it's like

#

maybe 2 arguments at most

#

and they're kinda the whole reason assassination is viable

rare jackal
#

let your phat deeps do the talking

balmy condor
#

idk, it's kinda weird that you can't articulate what your spec is good at

#

ya know

#

that's awkward

dreamy gull
#

Isn't sin top tier for vault anyways

balmy condor
#

he was asking about raz

#

but sins not bad, yeah

#

all the rogue specs are good

zinc frost
#

If you play sin in raid and do good dmg on previous bosses as sin, you really shouldn’t need to convince your RL to play that spec

limber lion
#

If only it worked like that

spice spire
#

I was about to say

#

You vastly underestimate the assumed knowledge a lot of rls have

balmy condor
#

I did good damage on sennarth, put me in on kurog chief

spice spire
#

(They usually don’t know)

limber lion
#

Top dps on Terros, I'm ready for Brood minion duty

limber lion

"i'm best at sin"
"sin looks the coolest"
"funnest so i'll stay interested"
"it'll be a flex to not use meta spec"

#

Sin looks boring af

#

look i was trying

royal lantern

maybe "lower apm so i can play for longer"

assa has same apm as sub in df

this is what you're telling your raid lead not what reality is

what about coldblood into kingsbane?

oak sky
#

that would only affect one tick

#

pretty useless

teal bloom
#

i don't think it would affect any tick, probably just the instant damage

oak sky
#

yeah i meant the instant damage

#

the first tick technically

#

or i worded it bad

#

either way

limber lion
#

It's okay, Andrew.

Hi, is it worth to wait e.g. 20-25s for vanish + IC on pack in m+? Or do you just pop it at the start without stealth and then wait for the next round (if there is any)

hey what percentage of wasted builders is to much? i recently fixed my weak aure and have gotten better and never casting a low CP envenom but i also noticed my wasted builder percentage has increased to about 5-6 percent

I think if you can scammaz Ion to give you a 421 box in the vault

it's literally unbeatable

dreamy gull
#

How much worse is kb than dtb

balmy condor
#

5%

dreamy gull
#

Hm
It's probably fine at least at the levels I play at then

balmy condor
#

aside from being an extra button you need to track and being significantly worse in every situation

#

yeah

#

probably fine

dreamy gull
#

Shrug

rare jackal
#

my guild hasnt seen a single icon

#

its wild

#

but a bunch of eranog rings

brazen zodiac
#

totally fine

dreamy gull
#

I do kind of wonder how they didn't buff it though, shouldn't they have done sims and known it's much worse

balmy condor
#

they don't really use sims to balance

#

idk why they aren't buffing it either though

winter vapor
#

aside from using tea in the opener macro'd to shiv, do we use it seperatly for energy gain thereafter?

oak sky
#

yeah

#

try to use it during shiv

#

but always get full energy gain from it

winter vapor
#

so one macro for shiv, one for shiv + tea ought to do it

royal lantern
#

eh, dont macro

#

like, just use it

winter vapor
#

cheers 🙂

royal lantern
#

rogue is not a macro class

winter vapor
#

yeah not a macro for shiv, just easier to press one button to get both happening together

strange python
#

For AP do you hold shiv charges or just send em?

balmy condor
#

hold 1 for deathmark

strange python
strange python
# oak sky try to use it during shiv

Or use tea to try to upkeep a 5 stack alacrity but have the buff still fall through 4 finishers and then go take a cyanide pill because life is pain

oak sky
#

lol alacrity optimizing doesnt exist

strange python
#

I know it doesn't

#

But it makes me depressed to see 4 finishers not keep it at 5

#

And I have nothing to do on diurna except track it

calm heron
#

does garrotte/rupture increase the stacks on the twins boss in temple of the jade serpent?

limber lion
#

No

dark token
#

Applying it does 1 stack doesn't it

#

But it falls off immediately

limber lion
#

Not sure, but melee for sure does, so if you tab target to reapply bleeds that'll for sure apply a stack

gusty mirage
#

probably the best use of IC on a boss fight outside of council tho

#

cause while everyone's DPSing one

#

those 2 stacks fall off anyway

pulsar dirge
#

But blade flurry triggers it correct?

dark token
#

No

Does anyone know: if i use garrote from stealth and get the bonus damage. If i refresh with a normal garrote for pandemic effect. Do i:

  1. Overwrite the remaining dots of the from-stealth-amplified garrote with non-amplified garrote, so i effectively lose dps by taking advantage of pandemic in this case
    or
  2. The initial debuff is simply extended, so if i make use of pandemic in this case, I extend the amplified garrote by using a 'normal garrote'.
    or
  3. The amplified garrote will tick out normally, then the normal garrote will take over
thorny pond
#

Becomes normal garrote

hoary plover
#

So i should ideally refresh with normal garrote after last tick of amplified then

Speaking of rotations. If i have 5/6 combo points built up. Should I use another mutilate, or spend them on a finisher? I tend to do the latter to not waste cp, but I'm not sure if it's the correct play

#

If i have garrote or shiv available (and it makes sense to garrote) ill do that ofc, but if mutilate is the only sensible option I'm not sure what to do in that scenario

wary ice
#

#assassination-faq answers that in its rotation section but yeah 5+ is a good finishing ooint

teal bloom
#

Yeah you finish on max-1 but if you are at max-1, you can use garrote/shiv to get to 6

what are you even talking about
how are you gonna gonnna empower garrote with IC when you're not in stealth

balmy condor
#

you don't

lament warren
#

you don’t

#

just press ic

#

ic ct er rup

#

win

#

just win

gaunt moat
#

and lose a lot of damage

lament warren
teal bloom
#

It is far less than you'd think

lament warren
#

and what’s your source on that

hoary plover
#

I should step by here more often. Ask questions and watch people argue

teal bloom
balmy condor
#

nah it's just notter being stuck in the past

#

it's all good

gaunt moat
#

what do you meannnn

balmy condor
#

restealths don't matter

#

haven't for years

gaunt moat
#

you can just wait 2 seconds and go back into stealth

lament warren
#

until you can’t

#

then you just press ic

#

uptime >>

gaunt moat
#

if it's like 6+ seconds, sure

#

but even then i usually wait

lament warren
#

ok well every 5 times you wait you are losing an entire ic

#

ic generates garrotes that you actually just cannot create without it

#

you are losing an insane amount of casts

hoary plover
#

but with stealth u can watch details go brrrr

brazen zodiac
#

boom

lament warren
#

watch details go brr by not being bad at the game

gaunt moat
#

usually you only have time for one IC per pack anyway

lament warren
#

high key understander

#

more invented metrics

gaunt moat
#

it's rare for packs to survivive more than 45 seconds and still have high health

#

that make IC usage worth it

hoary plover
#

I do understand that this may be a biased channel, but is outlaw just better for m+ than assassination?

lament warren
#

you just press the button

#

it is worth pressing the button

magic vine
#

garrote has a cooldown yes? just push ic to get 8 garrotes

lament warren
#

except in algethar

balmy condor
#

sub and outlaw are both better than assa in m+

lament warren
#

pretty sure sin funnel > sub funnel anyway

#

so i’ve actually started just playing sin in aa

#

but not high AA

#

you have to play sub in high aa

is there any sin m+ build w/ Zoldyck without losing insane ST?

What gaming chair do you have, @dreamy gull ?

gaunt moat
#

"in this super specific scenario it's worth using IC all the time"
meanwhile 90% of scenarios, you only use it once per pack

magic vine
#

well if you sit out of combat for 6 seconds, how much damage are you losing

spice spire
#

I mean not really. If packs living king, or chain pulling. You’ll just full send Freddy it

magic vine
#

compared to trying to get that 20% on those garrotes that you delayed

spice spire
#

Like you’re doing nokhud boss you just gonna hold ic for vanish every single time or you gonna take the free cleave?

gaunt moat

guys are you even aware of this?

if your tank needs IW reduction for a pull then thats something they're going to let you drop combat for

if you don't interrupt the dominators they just stand there doing nothing tho

gaunt moat

yeah but also, they don't become dead

Like these things are great, and do provide value. But it’s not “-20% to take kick” type of moment tho

We ain’t boomkins

Ultra hack for that one

and on the 3-dom pull you can solo stop the one too far to get aoe

Am I wrong if i say that outlaw have been the superior rogue spec for at least 3 years now?

lament warren
#

yes

#

compared to sin no

#

for rogues yes

hoary plover
#

so what youre saying is that there have been glimpses of time where sub > outlaw

#

but assa is always ass

spice spire
#

For much of sl, it was a safe bet that outlaw was on top.
Keys specifically, outlaw has excelled since I returned

you think we should give frost +5% aswell?

frost (dk) honestly needs work. bos is propped up by having near 100% breath uptime due to ams/amz rp gain on mechanics, and oblit is just basically miles behind

spice spire
#

I don’t disagree with some of the tuning.

#

I have a big ???? To hunters and destro specifically

magic vine
#

i haven't looked at them yet say i can confidently say that some are good and some are insane

nocturne current
#

They haven't touched Assassination so, in a way.. it'a a buff.

spice spire
#

Like buffing bdk damage? Makes sense. They’re survivability is fine. But if you’ve tanked while undergeared, threat is scary

nocturne current
#

Easy life.

magic vine
#

frost dk changes look like "good" for stuff like +1 targets for oblit and "lol" for stuff like buffed frostscythe dmg.

lament warren
#

hunters do not need buffs man

slow marsh

A nightstalker bug fix would make my life so much easier rn

magic vine

maybe with these tunings they can justify fixing ns and not changing anything 😄

oblique tangle
#

WHAT. A. BOSS.

grim tangle

buffing BM when it already does more damage than sin is pretty cringe

spice spire

Just get a better dagger, trust!

copper hazel

just loot a ring

dark token

@gusty mirage how do you feel about the bm buffs

spice spire
#

Brother

dark token
#

When it was already beating sin single target

gusty mirage
#

I think frost mage needed another buff tbh

#

it was really struggling

spice spire
#

True

gusty mirage
#

like BM

lament warren
#

405 simming 80k

gusty mirage
#

those are my thoughts

dark token
#

Frost is a actually nuts on Raz already. With these buffs it will be disgusting

#

And blood dk was the premier raid tank and good in m+

#

Why all these buffs lol

lament warren
#

blood dk needs damage

#

dk buffs do nothing for single target

#

so that complaint doesn’t make sense

#

dk has a lot of trouble holding threat in m+

dark token
#

Low-key I'm actually confused why they buff bm but not sin tho

#

They both have similar niches

lament warren
#

yeah that one is not good

dark token
#

Good single target and dogshit cleave

spice spire
#

High key I’m confused why hunter got buffs at all

dark token
#

But bm was better

#

So like sin is actually gonna be bottom dps

#

After this patch

lament warren
#

hey man

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

it was good week 1 if you had 4set

dark token
#

Ye

gusty mirage
#

don't need survivability if the boss dies faster

spice spire
#

True

#

Real

royal lantern
#

The writing is on the wall that hunters are going to be bad for a while. The problem with the class is utility compared to melee dps classes. There's no reason to bring a hunter to a key when you can bring almost any melee class and most ranged as well. The best hunter spec for keys has pathetic utility compared to every other class.

#

thats why

#

hunter bad cus no utility

#

and ranged bad

dark token
#

And what about sin

royal lantern
dark token
#

You see any sin rogues in keys besides seli

#

Lol

lament warren
#

that take is correct

#

actually

#

they don’t have enough utility (die to every mechanic)

royal lantern

i didnt even do all keys in 20

yo @gusty mirage

not even all on 20

i’m gonna onetrick sin for a week

let that sink in for a second man

lament warren

just for memes

next edge
#

BM getting a 5% buff

#

despite being top tier ST with bow

dark token
#

Ye I don't understand

#

How bm gets a buff

#

While sin does not

#

They function identically

lament warren
#

they’re buffing it for players without bow

#

clearly

#

have you considered just getting 4set 6 weeks ago?

next edge
#

I mean

#

then make bow and embellish

#

but 5% to BM, their ST is going to ber mental

lament warren
#

yeah it’s going to be about 5% better than it was

#

by my calculations

thats my character selection

gusty mirage
#

to quote whispyr

royal lantern
#

like, im just so confused why they looked at the current state of the game

#

and thought

#

5% for all hunters

#

like, everyone knows that mm is strong in all content, bm is broken in st, survival is borderline broken and only hold back by the fact that its a melee dps lol

slow marsh
#

they just gave mages a 5% buff wym

#

like you didn't already know they are just throwing darts?

royal lantern
#

what are the metrics they are using

nocturne current
#

I still don't understand what dimension the balance design team lives in.

royal lantern
#

why are there still so many bugged things on rogue that didnt even get addresed

#

why is sub still 29 talent points

#

i just TRY to understand

gusty mirage
#

you just don't get it

#

smh

royal lantern
#

why did assa get additonal nerfs over sub and outlaw when it was the WEAKEST out of the 3 specs, and now BM gets BUFFS when it fullfills the same role

gusty mirage
#

they'll do 87.7k instead of 86k if they fix it

royal lantern
#

like, I DONT UNDERSTAND

gusty mirage
#

that's UNHEARD OF

gusty mirage

fun fact

Buffing hunter. While.leaving assa untouch is kinda weirs

royal lantern
#

and its still not #1?

burnt star
#

Well ya

royal lantern
#

like, you litearlly let other specs do adds and boss, and they do more boss dmg

#

then the spec that can only do boss

burnt star
#

Assa should be up there on boss. Its getting lower and lower

#

While having no potential to catch on the rest

royal lantern
#

either let it be giga on boss if you dont want to let assa have any form of raid aoe

#

or let it have raid aoe

burnt star
#

They had to nerf assa week 1 based on heroic log

Bring back legion poison bomb

and not "yeha, you only do boss, but are not even #1 on that, and other specs that do adds also do boss dmg better xD"

And based on people 4 set. With 0 gear

honestly

#

im still stuned

#

about the 5% buff

#

on BM

next edge
#

It's legit mindblowing

#

that a S+ tier ST spec

#

is getting a 5% overall buff

marble hemlock
#

ye but its only s tier if you have the bow, which many people dont

#

so the overall wclog charts look bad

#

so it needs a buff

#

so the people without bow can compete

royal lantern
#

then maybe check if the bow is not a bit problematic

#

🙂

marble hemlock
#

no

#

you dont get it

royal lantern
#

lets make a drop that is stronger then most legendarys

#

xd

next edge
#

Making such a strong item on a raredrop

#

is stupid

royal lantern
#

its like edge of night

#

but stronger if im right

#

and edge of night was allready really really stupid

#

you should NEVER put such a high gain and balance point behind a rare drop on 1 fight

burnt star
#

They did a real good job at the end of shadowland by giving dinar coin

#

Getting those mega rare item a bad luck protection

next edge
#

If you add this loot

#

you MUST give idnars

dark token
#

I'd rather they fix all bugs

#

And nerf by 5%

burnt star
#

Not sure why they didnt keep it

look at the mythic evoker staff

heroic -> mythic for dev is like 3k+ dps

which is the optimal way to play around replicating shadows
