#

Gotta build that muscle memory to rupture after ER

#

And where the hell is the vanish

minor gate
#

when garrote drops off

thorn fjord
#

ah ok

minor gate
#

i didnt really sit right with me to wait till the first one drops off before applying a new one

thorn fjord
#

Can just use it early on the opener

keen spruce
#

just do it here so it's sync'd with deathmark

slow marsh
#

I use mine after it falls off too

#

Unless you're gonna get an extra cast it doesn't seem worth it to me just to avoid holding 2nd DM for 15s

minor gate
#

also ive got both torch and puzzle box on

#

do just wait till dm and puzzle box

keen spruce
#

just puzzle after vanish garrote and before exang

thorn fjord
#

PB after the ER

keen spruce
#

or right after sbs

thorn fjord
#

I would generally cast torch when DM dropped

keen spruce
#

it's not like super critical where you do it in there iirc

thorn fjord
#

but the torch cast isnt as important as the PB

keen spruce
#

yeah just box before exang

slow marsh
#

Either way you're wasting a lot of the value of vanish to use it with opener DM

keen spruce
#

then torch on CD

ebon notch
#

apparently it doesnt matter when you puzzlebox

#

as long as its somewhere near dm

keen spruce
#

^

thorn fjord
#

It "Feels" right after the ER

royal lantern
keen spruce
#

i mean i only use puzzle exang on target dummies but it feels right after sbs to me SusNotes

ebon notch
#

truuuu

slow marsh
#

Using after er makes the most sense true

keen spruce
#

but it don't relaly matter

slow marsh
#

Cuz you let the rupture you're about to clip tick a bit

keen spruce
spice spire
#

Certified menace

#

I actually love puzzlebox ngl

keen spruce
#

i have no choice but to upgrade mine

#

when valor uncaps

ebon notch
keen spruce
#

then i'll have to do serious rat sims

thorn fjord
keen spruce
#

to justify my decisions

thorn fjord
#

Its just there

spice spire
#

But I’m Stockholm syndroming myself because I’ve never known the love of grieftorching

thorn fjord
#

I got to enjoy torch for ONE week

#

only one 😦

keen spruce
#

I actually liked it at xpac launch

#

i was boolin out with my rubix cube

spice spire
#

One more than me buddy

keen spruce
#

until it became clear that the unholy marraige of exang and puzzle box would rule my life

#

for the whole tier

#

then i threw 5 in the sea

#

and they just kept dropping

slow marsh
spice spire
slow marsh
#

It's ok it's just a normie so it's not anything to covet

spice spire
#

I think a normal is still an upgrade ICANT

thorn fjord
#

Probably isn’t unless your trinkets are complete hot dog water

spice spire
#

Whetstone st is my second best

thorn fjord
#

415 stone prob much better than norm torch

spice spire
#

You would not believe your eyes Cheesin

#

Normal is a sub 100 dps upgrade ICANT

thorn fjord
#

Better do the weekly then

spice spire
ancient peak
#

cant decide if I take 421 cos ring or 421 tier chest from my vault

#

I already have the chest and the ring at 415

copper hazel
ancient peak
#

I did sim myself its close

#

the chest is slightly better but the ring is rarer obv

thorn fjord
#

I’d take the ring

#

Easier to get that chest replaced if you’re smashing 20s and mythicnraiding

keen spruce
#

very easy to get 421 tier chest

#

very not easy

#

to get 421 cos ring

#

cance of geting 1 single item from m+ pool vs chance of getting any chest piece

muted ridge
#

Question, does autmn buff from Paladin work on us? I asked for it in raid and it didnt feel like it reduced any CDs

ebon notch
#

cause its not baseline?

muted ridge
#

like I got it on tape

#

doesnt feel like it worked on anything

ebon notch
#

if you didnt notice it on deathmark then its probably something more obscure

muted ridge
#

My pala told me my cd numbers were meant to turn green nvm thats wa lmao

#

none of them did lmao

dreamy gull
#

Is there a plugin that automatically sends inflammatory messages to people who roll need on gear I want

#

Need it stat

keen spruce
#

i cannot find any information what what blessing of autumn actually does

#

goin to the pala discord standby

muted ridge
keen spruce
#

yes that reads at though it would affect all cooldowns

muted ridge
#

but ye, if anyone has experience with Autumn buff pls let me know. I know it works on many classes but never seen it work on Rogue

worn geyser
#

Does raptur get higher dmg with combo points or is it same dmg but longer duration?

static glacier
#

longer

worn geyser
#

thinking if i need to have a Echo rapture going for deathmark

#

alright awesome

#

ty

#

then that shouldnt matter

#

right?

static glacier
#

yep, it doesn't particularly matter

#

you could argue it's a small gain to not rupture during dm but it's probably within margin of error if simmed

storm forum
#

only matters if you wanna use exsang

static glacier
#

^

worn geyser
#

Awesome, thanks guys

static glacier
#

im still boycotting exsang

keen spruce
#

paladin discord knows nothing of our troubles. gotta go find a holy pala

static glacier
#

unquestionably one of the shittest class discords

keen spruce
#

they seemed friendly shrugFreg

vale abyss
#

Hello, i just tested a new opener by switching 1.Deathmark and 2. Exsang, I did way more single target dmg and I usually do with Exsang first and deathmark second. This was m+ scenario Ancient giant went form roughly 6 mil boss dmg to almost 8 mill

thorn fjord
#

Friendly and knowledgeable are two different things

#

🤣

thorn fjord
keen spruce
#

they don't need knowledge they have faith in the light

thorn fjord
#

Truuuu

vale abyss
#

doesnt feel like a dmg los

#

loss

thorn fjord
#

Placebo

keen spruce
#

bruh every fukin paladin in valdrakken is afk

static glacier
#

so less time you get double poison application = less amp'd envenoms

storm forum
#

we're bringing back the 40 sec BA

vale abyss
#

got it

keen spruce
#

uh yeah blessing of autumn @muted ridge

#

doesn't do shit

#

used deathmark and evasion before it was cast on me, used vanish/cloak/blind/shiv/spike/tea/ER/sprint after it was cast

#

not a damn thing got reduced

sweet sphinx
#

what phials yall use for raiding? single target fights

keen spruce
#

was in party with the hpal

Oof

#

Had someone yelling over disc for me to kill raz for us at 3% left when it was just the tanks and me lol

astral kindle
#

ahh

violet talon
amber briar
#

prolly a dumb question and im still tryn to figure my way around this disc.. we use double sophic for weps yeah and not frozen devo? Feel like i messed something up

spice spire
#

Yes we do

#

(Use double sophic)

amber briar
#

i figured. i screwed up lol

dark token
#

Lol

#

You mean the large spiders

#

Your whole raid including you should be swapping to them

#

It's easy for sin since you want to multidot boss anywau

#

Just change your envenom and mut target what's the deal lol

brazen zodiac
#

lol

flint tusk
#

don't fly of the handle there it's called sarcasm as everyone memes about sin being boss only.
sin however shouldn't be second highest big add damage

brazen zodiac
#

ill take ur spot 👍 i like spider boss

flint tusk
#

i honestly love the boss.

just frustrating when raid damage on ad switch is so low.

gusty mirage
#

hi im new here

#

@spice spire what poisons do I use as assassination

pallid bough
#

Instant poison

#

And wound

muted ridge
#

even with Speed lets go

gusty mirage
pallid bough
gusty mirage
#

wait I have an answer to this

#

one of my officers sent this to me last night

#

that was after 2 people

#

died to the lightning strikes

#

so it's going pretty good

pallid bough
#

LMAO

gusty mirage
#

we limped into p1 intermission with like 4 people alive

#

so ya know

#

boss almost dead

spice spire
#

Boss just like me

dreamy gull
#

What does pulls mean in that context

spice spire
#

You start the boss and fail

#

So you “pulled” the boss, but didn’t kill it

dreamy gull
#

Just say attempts

spice spire
brazen zodiac
#

i love puzzle box

thorn fjord
#

I love @spice spire too

#

Favorite CF not even close

#

😉

spice spire
#

Nah I’m a shitter

thorn fjord
#

A shitter with a kind soul

brazen zodiac
#

cute too

winter gale
#

Is there a 418 belt to craft with spark?

thorn fjord
#

Yep

winter gale
#

Good

thorn fjord
#

Life bound belt

brazen zodiac
#

^

gaunt moat
#

WE DID IT BOYS

#

Officialy worst overall dps spec woo!

brazen zodiac
#

what chart is that

winter gale
#

One more , can that belt be socketed?

thorn fjord
#

vault*

gaunt moat
#

but to answer, it's 95% percentile over 1 week, overall damage.

#

but you know what that means?

#

we'll get a 5% buff!

outer lodge
slow marsh
#

yeah if you're not pumping boss to make up for it

#

kinda the same it's always been

spice spire
#

Yeah so that’s not a kosher word

slow marsh
#

Except in some ways we're punished more now than previously cuz we can't just swap one talent and have cleave damage

spice spire
#

Sorry for deleting without @ing

#

But yeah

strange niche
#

sin still good on raz or just go sub at this point?

gusty mirage
#

go sub

#

assassination is good on raz, but sub's just better

#

and unless you guys are hurting for boss damage, there's no substantial benefit of going assassination over sub

gusty mirage
#

it be what it be my dude

thorny pond
#

"Our fotms can't live, can you go sin and pump boss?"

strange niche
#

if we need the boss dmg is it just a pure ST build or is there a little aoe in the talents for the add phases? Or just shit outta luck on the adds lmao

willow tendon
#

So is sin just a play for fun class then?

gusty mirage
#

assassination is SOL for adds

#

you go blue side on raz

#

and you funnel the one add that needs to die

gusty mirage
#

it's just for a lot of scenarios, sub outclasses it

strange niche
#

seems to be that sin is good and solid, but sub is amazing and outlaw is great, so it's outshined by the other 2 specs

subtle tundra
#

(assa is slightly better on 2t)

willow tendon
#

Ahh I see

#

I honestly love sin so much :(

subtle tundra
#

then play it

willow tendon
#

I found sub really boring idk

#

like I won't get flamed for doing sin right?

subtle tundra
#

unless you play it bad and perform poorly, no

gaunt moat
#

Right now sub gives you best of both worlds.
it has good AoE, short CDs so it has bursts on demend, and very competetive ST

Sin was good at the start, but they kept taking away and giving to others.

thorn fjord
#

Blizz a bunch of commies

subtle tundra
#

love balancing around raid and ignoring m+

willow tendon
#

So if I swapped to sub do they use diff stats?

#

Just out of curiosity

gaunt moat
#

especially how destructive exsang was at pvp

gusty mirage
#

it's like 3 things

subtle tundra
#

ooh

#

yea

#

do they have 8t silence?

#

on a 45s cd(which it isnt cause vanish is 2min)

#

(make vanish 45s cd)

thorn fjord
#

We’re dependent on the others in our group to be hot dog water to shine @gusty mirage @subtle tundra

wind dune
#

Lol hanging out with survival hunter for 95 percentile

empty aurora
#

any ideas why a 405 flaring cowl would be simming lower than a 385 raid finder tier helm? I figured flaring cowl would be pretty good for sin

formal cliff
#

Sim doesn't take deaths into consideration for torch right? so it should be more dps, right? peophammer

strange python
#

Is there a specific amount of crit we want as assassination? like...40% or sum?

empty aurora
#

sims come in like 2k dps lower

limber lion
#

You need both

empty aurora
#

i have 5 set on right meow

#

oh, armory probably hasn't updated

#

yeah that's it

strange python
#

very specific 😄

limber lion
strange python
#

So there is never a point you don't prioritize crit stat on gear?

limber lion
#

You do because it's generally the best stat

#

But that's not what you asked

#

There is no secret number to aim for

strange python
#

So just stack crit as main state as high as you can get it then

limber lion
#

Well you would sim yourself and do what the robot tells you to do

strange python
#

I figured mathematically at some point crit rate would have diminishing returns

limber lion
#

But yeah that's a good starting point

#

It does

#

Just like every other stat

#

But it's not that linear or something that you can figure out yourself

#

That's why we use sims

#

42% crit might be good for someone, 31% might be better for someone else

strange python
#

I guess I'm not understanding the nuance of that. Is it because of different builds?

drifting cloud
#

no because we dont know what gear you have or have access to

#

if you dont have cowl+ring combo your stats are probably going to look quite a bit different than anyone else who does

#

same with icon trinket

#

then the rest is just whatever highest ilvl offpieces you have gotten so far

strange python
#

I get what your saying a bit better now. I was having trouble wrapping my brain around it but I think I get it now

#

Your juggling stats to maximize your dps, when your subbing items for BiS or your BiS is low iLvl

drifting cloud
#

in most cases stats just arent that far apart right now for assa, so ilevel will just win a big majority of the time, ok maybe 418 vers haste would lose to a 415 crit mastery for example

#

but you never have to bother with that because the sim will just tell you in 1minute

#

thats why he says someone could have 40% crit and somebody could have 30%, because those just happen to be their stats with the best gear available to them right now

#

I honestly couldnt tell you how much of a stat I have because I dont even check

strange python
#

I see, that makes sense

#

Thank you for explaining Ryler

I wish we didn't have DTB+KB on the same slot.... Are they planning on reworking sin at all?

wind dune
celest ruin
#

theyre thinking of reworking exsang copium well finally have unholy dk levels of st copium

violet talon
rotund crescent
#

can someone explain this a bit. For single target your more then likely going to be invis for that first garrote opener gaining your 50% dmg buff to it. Why use that into Slice and Dice into using Garrote again? Wouldnt that just replace the barely tik'd empowered garrote? In other words, why use garrote to gain stacks for rupture instead of keeping the stronger garrote going and using like Mutilate for a couple stacks for that first rupture?

#

sry dont mean to butt in to the convo lol

woeful meteor
keen spruce
#

in the opener section^ explains the whole garrote thing

rotund crescent
#

ohhh mbmb i missed it thank you!

wind dune
#

atleast blizzard is helping my wow addiction by keeping sin this unfun to play in anything but patchwork single target fights!

balmy condor
#

what

#

sin in keys is fun

polar matrix
#

for pi

#

is it better to go off that sim sheet

#

or blood mallet

amber briar
#

either of the jc trinkets worth it? sparks arent really an issue

outer cairn
#

there a macro for buzzing rune to ensure it puts it on each weapon? idk how many times it reapplies to the first one and just waste them. kind of annoying

# balmy condor sin in keys is fun

lol sure fun spending 15 of my talent points to do subpar aoe damage 4 for ct and 11 on ic! OMEGAKEKW lets not forget the laughable single target with this m+ build too. 2800 as assa atm and its just tiring with current tuning lol

outer cairn
#

yeah i found one and that was it. thanks

heavy vessel
#

This one is also really handy for poisons

#

/castsequence reset=10 Deadly Poison, Amplifying Poison, Crippling Poison, Atrophic Poison

outer cairn
#

i do have that already.

balmy condor
keen spruce
#

i always buzzing rune, poisons, buzzing rune

#

and it seems to work

upbeat niche
#

Do we use our ST build on Dathea still if we are on platforms

outer cairn
#

no they'd want you to run ic for silence

upbeat niche
#

whats the IC build is it on the spreadsheet?

balmy condor
#

just the m+ build

#

and then you weep openly

#

because you're playing assassination on platforms

outer cairn
sudden canyon
#

how much dmg am i missing if i dont engage in the crafted/embelished gear

balmy condor
#

couple %

sudden canyon
#

dont engage as in im broke in game and dont wanna buy gold via wow tokens coz it will only incentivize this gold-sink crafting system

autumn frost
#

Should get the lariat

#

but other then that not as big

brazen zodiac
#

what server are you on @sudden canyon

sudden canyon
#

illidan. is it as bad as legendaries? in terms of gold cost

autumn frost
#

lariat is a huge up

#

other then that not a big deal imo

#

one lariat is less then a legendary I think. You can get someone to craft it for you for like 5k

brazen zodiac
#

when you say gold sink is it because of the mats and needing rerolls w/ t3s or because players are asking for commission

autumn frost
#

don't go for rank 5, use tier 2 mats and it's not that expensive.

sudden canyon
#

lariats the one with the main stat proc

kind talon
#

There are people on most servers that craft max rank for no commission

kind talon
autumn frost
#

Just one and done. You could probably do a public order if you wanted and someone would fill it even if you put up 500 gold

#

anyone with the lariat recipe going to be specced into it too.

brazen zodiac
#

theyll also just fill it in general cause its like 3 level ups per craft

autumn frost
#

Cause it's their most in demand and profit craft

#

Some people may pay you or supply you to craft your items actually

#

you could offer to sell your sparks

#

so if you're not going for rank 5 and stuff it's not that expensive.

#

people like that first craft stuff

brazen zodiac
#

juicy 3 points

#

lots of people go for insp too so usually % is high to proc r5

autumn frost
#

Recrafting is also cheap too if using tier 2 mats

brazen zodiac
#

these lariat crafters asking for 30k comm. so based

gaunt moat
#

Do it the smart way
the way i did it, was to make a publich order for lariat
then asked for a recraft for 10k

#

Dratnos also recommends it in his rasza "guide"

and free dps is free dps so you take it

fallow canopy
#

this iteration of sin in m+ is miles better than SL for example

balmy condor
narrow adder
#

it's insanely sweaty

proven jasper
#

and in sim its taking all the damage from the dots and combining it into mark

balmy condor
#

correct

gaunt moat
#

i was also talking about that (or logs. same deal)

#

the damage from the Deathmark dot itself is insignificant
what you wanna look at is your bleeds and poisons being doubled at the time

so dmg no problemo

My RL wants me to not save CDs for add on 2nd platform on Dathea, and just use everything on Dathea
what do

#

I argued that it's better to kill that add. dathea will die.

#

but then he shown me this

#

bruh. what are mages even.

split cipher
#

Has anyone experienced just not getting the shroud heal absorb on broodkeeper? Started progging today and I straight up just don't get the debuff

#

Figure it might have something to do with our new talent 'reducing' the duration

ebon notch
#

you dont need to save cds for the big add

gaunt moat
#

i'm confused cause i've been told here that i should go 2nd platform so i'll have CDs there

kind talon
#

Never cd an add as sin

ebon notch
#

it should be around 3 mins in

#

so you shouldve fully finished your cds on boss by then

kind talon
#

If you’re going second plat, don’t play exsang

#

Because you will lose a cast

ebon notch
#

you'll come down before 4 mins

#

which is when you'd send 2nd exsang

kind talon
ebon notch
kind talon
#

I mean if you just send raw exsang there you get 3

#

If u stay main play

#

Plat

ebon notch
#

yeah but

#

raw exsang?

kind talon
#

Yeah +1 cast

ebon notch
#

that 3rd set of cds is scuffed

kind talon
#

W

ebon notch
#

you dont even get all of it

gaunt moat
#

so platform you just sit on big add FoK>envenom and prayge for PBs?

ebon notch
#

so do w.e you gotta do for that

keen spruce
#

it just doesn't show on the logs under debuffs for rogue for some reason

#

if u look at damage taken it's there

green juniper
#

Guys i am 405 and my buddy is 402 and he did way more than me at brood, can someone tell me what I did wrong?

#

He is strider

#

So i was kinda unlucky i think brood targeted me ligthning many times

#

Also had to go adds at some point and lose lil bit but thats all

balmy condor
#

bro huh

#

you're overcapping like 100 combo points

this is jsut a wowanalyzer angle

#

Wow analyzer poggers now

elfin crystal
#

also check the wrong guys opener your friend is also doing it wrong XD

balmy condor
#

it's a lot of basics

#

but that's what you need

#

so it's real good

green juniper
#

Yep need to learn basics first, like opener and combo point stuff

#

Like i shall use my finishers at max-1 like how faq says i generally go above for max

oak tangle
#

rip your friend, forgot to dm the first exsang

slow marsh
#

Basics are good

oak tangle
#

get your opener right first, i mean it's minor but always will be the same.

but more importantly is getting the dots maxxed for exsang timing, and also making sure vanished garrote is on for death mark every 2 mins

grim jay
#

Except for seal fate

#

Potentially

green juniper
balmy condor
#

ye he's just saying it's usually even more than that

#

because seal fate

#

you can be at 5, hit a mut, and waste 3

green juniper
oak tangle
#

also i would try swap that order

#

puzzle before the vanish garotte or after the exsang

distant swift
#

Is exsang also for aoe or st?

@balmy condor is the build for Kurog the same now these adds die much faster?

#

Your build for Kurog*

grim jay
#

Yeah so seal fate is a special case if you review your log down the line. Having many wasted cp on seal fate isnt your fault in most cases

#

Having wasted cp on builders might be tho

oak tangle
#

i will probably get ripped apart as this being my opener but...

grim jay
#

Its not that bad

#

Tbf

green juniper
#

I can see that, no need to build up fo snd, envenom gonna buff its duration

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

yep and because you are gonna reapply a anima charged rupture you also dont need max dur on first cast

winter gale
#

@balmy condor exsang build?

balmy condor
#

whatever you play in single target

gaunt moat
grim jay
winter gale
#

Ok, smash kurog and dot big adds

balmy condor
#

ye

grim jay
#

And you use potion after dm

oak tangle
#

yeah i never know whether to sbs, shiv anything there or not, and it doesn't matter too much so do it anyway

grim jay
#

Sbs before vanish gar

#

Shiv with potion after dm

winter gale
#

And with tea in opener?

grim jay

Tea on shiv

Whisp do you still drop exang for CT with the ST build if you just want CT for some cleave or burst aoe?
(Ie thinking of a dathea build)

balmy condor
#

ye

#

you also need to drop a point in ip

#

or else you cant get over there

winter gale
#

I feel my problem is that i burn tea too fast so I sometimes sit on 0 for 10-20 seconds

balmy condor
#

but same concept

winter gale
#

And never get back to 2 stacks

balmy condor
#

why is that a problem

green juniper
#

Energy starving is no fun gived us rage xd

winter gale
#

In 1st min or a bit more i burn all 3

dense herald
#

Or maybe it’s the play to just go the non bleed ST build at that point if you’re dropping exang for CT?

oak tangle
green juniper
#

Do we replace our garrote/rupture at exsang dm period when they are at last 3-4 sec?

winter gale
#

I dont know, it feels bad so that why I typed ‘i feel’ 😂

elfin crystal

ok is it me or does every other class get buff and we've been left in the dust.

Is exsang also for aoe or only st?

To remember the good times

Even if its gone someday

I'd get a "TB when"

balmy condor
#

that's my dream

#

"CT or Envenom in aoe"

doesn't matter
IMPOSSIBLE
sigh

"What stat breakpoints"

there are none, just get stats
IMPOSSIBLE
sigh

grim jay
#

I mean lets be honest for real

#

Are there any classes

#

With real breakpoints you care for?

#

Frost has 1 iirc and they still tell people to sim

#

Dunno where people still pick up that concept

royal lantern
#

the last time there was a stat breakpoint was spriest during legion

#

cus you needed like 8million haste for the specs optimal dps rotiation to function cus of voidform worked

#

but thats it lol

green juniper
#

I have a strong urge to play survival hunter somehow

slow marsh
#

People just seem to think there's some magical haste or crit number for assassination to enter exodia mode but they usually haven't played it since bfa

That reminds me of those wonderful times in Sanctum where I had 99% crit in MA window and still only got 2 cp from muti several times. Glorious

#

I cant remember people complaining that much about DoS which was in all honesty worse to use

#

Even using MA on it

#

Engine of eradication wasnt a banger either

slow marsh
#

People have just always not enjoyed channel trinkets for whatever reason

#

It's really not bad at all to me but whatevs

grim jay
#

The only trinket I ever really enjoyed was soul capacitor, so I cant say I enjoy trinkets in general

#

They are just whatever

#

But DoS basically was a channel

#

Well tbh even worse since it actually locked you in place

green juniper
#

I am not complaining but while attacking a huge entity pulling out an rubix cube and solving is funny to think xd

slow marsh
#

My favorite trinkets that I've gotten to play with so far in my wow career was razor coral + inkpod

#

But yeah trinkets are kinda whatever. They're nice but also I feel like they aren't as interesting as they could be

distant swift
#

Zero hate pb kekw

dense herald
#

I think channeled trinkets that have visual appeal make them satisfying to press,
I can’t stand stopping pressing my rogue abilities to solve a rubix cube for 2s mid combat feels clunky

#

People say grieftorch is fun to use not that I have one

distant swift
#

It is actually fun

royal lantern
#

gigachad

slow marsh
#

Grieftorch is fun to spam when people are dying

#

The channel has nothing to do with it

dense herald
#

Well I assume the channel doesn’t feel as bad when you’re shooting fire everywhere

slow marsh
#

The channel is irrelevant imo

royal lantern
slow marsh
#

Nobody would care if you stood and shot yellow piss lazers for 2s. If you get to do it more frequently people would like it

grim jay
#

People just dont like pressing something that doesnt deal visible damage is probably the issue

dense herald
#

What?
How does pressing a trinket more frequently make it fun?

slow marsh
#

....because it does?

dense herald
#

So if you cast puzzle box every 30s you’d find it more fun?

slow marsh
#

Yes? More damage ?

#

More damage more fun

grim jay
dense herald
#

Ah okay well my opinion on what’s fun isn’t damage go up but it’s subjective

slow marsh
#

If grieftorch didn't do damage nobody would think it was fun

dense herald
#

Mines more on aesthetics and feedback when you hit the button

#

Sounds/animations/change in gameplay

slow marsh
#

I mean fair enough. People play lost ark so I get it

dense herald
#

Did you find the benthic procs fun?

distant swift
#

Lost ark OMEGAKEKW

slow marsh
#

Benthic procs were so annoying to get to that I think all fun was sucked out by the time people got them

#

I'm just saying the vast majority of people who play don't care as much about aesthetic as they do whether or not said thing does damage

#

Bigger number bigger fun ooga booga

grim jay
#

I do care about aesthetics

#

But I accepted that they arent as good as they could be

#

Nor as good as in some other games

slow marsh
#

Yeah I should preface that this is all within reason

#

A certain amount of aesthetic is required for enjoyment

green juniper
#

I like huge build ups with a satisfying crit.. feel like i am describing a warlock

shrewd night
grand trail
#

I guess mythic cct and icon isn't great combo for assa right? I'm sub main and my DMG with assa is just not good as I though would be

shrewd night
#

So you figured its just down to trinkets?

strange python
grand trail
#

Nah, I'm just asking. I saw everyone running puzzle box on brood

strange python
#

But sin does rely on puzzle box a good bit

#

Puzzle box gives crazy value to your cooldown windows

kind forge
shrewd night
#

Both cct and icon is great for sin, but as mentioned puzzle is a big step upwards. So I guess its just to limit your expectations?

#

Although unironically sub is fine for brood as well, if thats the main concern

grand trail
#

My Sims are lower for assa than sub too, I'm running very low haste and some bit of versa

#

Yeah I know that, but my guild is kinda stubborn about assa= best single

shrewd night
#

Playing what youre comfortable with is going to be higher dps in the short-term

grand trail
#

And not having anything to press with death mark

shrewd night
#

weird management

#

Im having issues understanding the logic behind it, at some point the guild has to trust you to make the right decisions, especially if you can show sub does comparable bossdam as assa

grand trail
#

Well see, thanks

sacred wolf
#

Do you guys play assa on every boss in Vault or do you swap to sub on some?

vestal wren
#

i play subtlety on every fight, but we have quite a lot that play assa on every fight

gaunt moat

I play only sin

#

Though that's not a positive

Is it bad mannered to be assassination in keys 🤔

No?

id say 9/10 groups won't give a shit

hardy dagger

No rogue spec is bad in keys

there's always that one pug that goes "sin? weird"

balmy condor

then why you asking us lmao

high wagon
#

I had someone tell me I was trolling there key after first pull when they seen I was playing sin and later apologized after the key when I had top dmg. All 3 specs are great

velvet ridge
#

Idk I just feel guilty, I've been outlaw, but I enjoy sin more, was curious the perception on it

kind forge
#

then play sin

balmy condor
#

yeh it just odd that someone close to 3k doesn't know the perception to begin with is all

#

maybe that's just me

#

but idk

#

living in a bubble like that is real weird

velvet ridge

Ye, I'm ignorant as fuck

balmy condor

anyway yeh sin is good, just doesn't see a lot of play cause it eventually doesn't keep up and there's no high end streamer singing its praises for people to parrot

Im fine with the dungeons rn, not sure about brackenhide and uldaman tho monkahmm

oh

I erased them from my memory after m0

keen spruce

well a low proc summon a gnoll from brackenhide

that has a chance to stun something

which could be bad

#

AoE on use stacking shard thing from halls

Fragment and angerboda kinda look good tho

tf is angerboda

balmy condor

o yeah plenty of good old trinkets

did they announce next m+ rotation? or just speculation

balmy condor

no announcement

Cant wait if they listen to the people that want dungeons from before m+ in the rotation

keen spruce

i mean they know which ones people like

grim jay

i just hope they don't try to like... use seasonal affix to try to force us to like dungeons that we didn't used to like

and then nothing

nerfs based on week 1 wcl

#

never seen this happen before

balmy condor

oh

heroic logs

lapis mirage

different for mythic yeah

#

hehe

balmy condor
#

must be what blizzard is looking at

#

to avoid buffing us

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

"look guys it's good in heroic"

marble hemlock
#

cant buff us after they nerfed us 3x

#

that would make it look like they dont know what theyre doing

balmy condor
#

meanwhile it's just a mediocre boss killer in mythic

#

lmao

marble hemlock
#

or that some of the initial nerfs were too much

lapis mirage
#

why do you think it's such a big difference ? curious

#

or rather

balmy condor
#

cause heroic gets blasted

lapis mirage
#

why is there such a big difference

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

heroic is literally just boss damage

#

all the way through

#

and assassination is still pretty good at just afking on a boss for 2 minutes

magic vine
#

mythic has more off-boss stuff yea

lapis mirage
#

ST is still up there with the best no?

marble hemlock
#

Adds dont really exist on Heroic so its more about bossdmg than everything else. I'll also reckon that the average rogue is better informed than the average mage or warlock on how to play their class, so they get more out of their total dps potential, thus looking better by comparison

magic vine
#

also fight timers for some of the stuff don't line up great for sin

balmy condor
#

no it isn't

marble hemlock
#

Is it?

lapis mirage
#

rogue players are better than mage players?

balmy condor
#

better informed

keen spruce
lapis mirage
#

and warlock?

marble hemlock
#

We've had fully optimized sims with only minor APL and sim improvements since release, other classes stil dont have fully functional APLs

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

its not a skill thing

limber charm
#

probably have people speccing aoe for fights with aoe in heroic then the adds die in 0.25 seconds

balmy condor
#

it's a knowledge diff

magic vine
#

warlocks a great example actually

lapis mirage
#

yeah I agree this discord is better

#

tbf

#

if thats what you meant

balmy condor
#

it's more than just the discord

keen spruce
#

i hung out in black harvest a lot in legion and there was plenty of knowledgable people

#

also a meme factory

#

idk about now

#

at least the affliction people were

magic vine
#

since in SL their apl was straight broken for uh, venthyr? and turns out fixing that revealed it to be a great dps option that they just weren't using before because it looked bad

marble hemlock
#

There you go. Why is that? Why are conversations on the rogue discord "higher level" than on others? We have 3 different websites with high profile players and very theorycrafted invested people writing guides and providing information. We don't gatekeep any of our sims or information.

keen spruce
#

they tell us everything so they can make fun of us for not knowing anything cryge

marble hemlock
#

Why are the high-level players of other classes vastly outperforming the "regular" guy? Could have smth to do with them actually doing their own theorycrafting or being good enough players to figure out how to play optimally, while the regular joe doesnt.

All of that plays a part in how well informed the general playerbase for each spec is, and in our case that simply means that most rogues kinda know how to play the game and perform well

lapis mirage
#

I think the skill level is quite evenly distributed amongst the classes

storm onyx
#

I remember wording of ”Assa getting a lot of attention, hence the nerf” I took it to block class stacking for wfr. But that sucks really

balmy condor
keen spruce
#

I think generally available class knowledge kind of gets rolled up into average skill level

#

not like wow is a mechanically intesive game compared to like a starcraft or FPS

#

so i'd still say if we have more good proven knowledge

#

then average skill of rogue probably higher
