yeah

#

it is aids

sweet bobcat
#

my eyes are burning from reading that

balmy condor
#

just giving exsang 20% faster

#

for no reason

slow marsh
#

Instead of deleting it yep

balmy condor
#

it's already a 4 min cd

#

just let it die

sweet bobcat
#

dont delete it

#

put it back to a 45s CD

#

🙂

balmy condor
steel ridge
#

delete exsang

balmy condor
#

put it back to a 45 second cooldown

#

so what

#

it's stronger than our capstones again?

sweet bobcat
#

i can press it more than once in pvp

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

and we have to play that dogshit rotation all expansion?

balmy condor
#

who cares

#

minigame mode

#

all 5 people still playing pvp can afford to be upset

strange python
#

Pvp died in wrath.

sweet bobcat
#

lol

#

not wrath

#

but it died yes

#

probably after mop

steel ridge
#

it was quite alive when i did solo shuffle last week

strange python
#

Season 9 was the last time anyone good played pvp. Then hon and dota2 and league killed it

#

The exodus from arenas to mobas was real

balmy condor
steel ridge
#

it is

sweet bobcat
#

yeah

steel ridge
#

something doesnt need to be played on a highlevel to be alive 😄

sweet bobcat
#

solo shuffle ques are just getting longer as the season progresses

steel ridge
#

play a healer, you get insta invite

sweet bobcat
#

i do play healers

strange python
#

I mean I assumed we were talking about a high lvl pvp since it was about balance

sweet bobcat
#

i also play a rogue

balmy condor
#

I made a comment on a pvp twitter thread about rogue balance in pve vs pvp

#

and within 5 minutes I got called a slur

strange python
#

I hope rogue gets nerfed into the ground for pvp

strange python
#

Take away stealth

steel ridge
#

pvp balance lmao

strange python
#

Then maybe we can stop getting hamstrung in pve for being good at pvp

sweet bobcat
strange python
#

I can hope.

sweet bobcat
#
  1. thats a pretty dark take
balmy condor
#

TC's always get shit for "asking for nerfs"

#

but nah

sweet bobcat
#

not everything has to be black and white

crisp badger
#

can you macro puzzle box and exsang on the same button

sweet bobcat
#

they can exist together

balmy condor
#

rogue needs to get nuked in pvp

strange python
#

Tired of rogue pve getting capped because we're an lying in pvp.

#

Annoying"

oak sky
#

kidney shot

strange python
#

Blizzard will absolutely never let the best m+ and best pvp class be super strong in raid too.

sweet bobcat
#

kidney shot is 15% less effective

oak sky
#

its literally just kidney shot

sweet bobcat
#

since dragonflight

oak sky
#

isnt it

strange python
#

I'm fine with removing kidney shot.

sweet bobcat
#

turn off cdew

steel ridge
#

how is it kidney shot

sweet bobcat
#

for 1 minute

steel ridge
#

feral got maim on a 20 second cd

oak sky
#

i mean it cant be damage

#

can it

sweet bobcat
#

it is damage

balmy condor
#

remove wound poison

strange python
#

Take away all of our stuns. Give me back damage.

oak sky
#

bro

#

if its damage

#

then that doesnt affect pve

sweet bobcat
#

assa rogues do big damage and have hemotoxin as a pvp talent

oak sky
#

because of modifiers

balmy condor
#

nerf hemo by 50% and remove wound poison

sweet bobcat
#

that reduces healing

steel ridge
#

it must be the yellow color

sweet bobcat
#

and when you deathmark wound poision and shiv with hemo you cant heal it with their bleeds up

#

its busted as fuck

oak sky
#

yeah sounds pretty pvp specific to me

#

ie i dont have to care

balmy condor
#

disable deathmark in pvp

sweet bobcat
#

dont disable deathmark

oak sky
#

you know what

balmy condor
#

don't let assassination rogues queue pvp

sweet bobcat
#

just tone back the healing reduction stacking

slow marsh
oak sky
#

make vanish a 4 min cd

sweet bobcat
#

like if your really confident

strange python
#

Just delete pvp and mythic+ and make wow about raiding.

oak sky
#

it can go with 4 minute exsang

sweet bobcat
#

you can deathmark b4 you exsanguinate

slow marsh
#

It's not kidney it's actually blind into dance sap that's the problem

balmy condor
#

like it's super easy

if (spec = assassination)
do not let into queue

Pve rogue is saved

sweet bobcat
#

and your double bleeds just pump into someone

balmy condor
#

quote me on it

strange python
#

Can't tell if whispyr is agreeing with me because tired and delusional or as memes

#

But it should be a more common occurrence

sweet bobcat
#

or

balmy condor
#

I'm agreeing because I'm tired of pvp shitheads ruining public perception of rogues

sweet bobcat
#

all the pve assa rogues reroll sub or outlaw

balmy condor
#

because it's impacting 100 people in pvp

sweet bobcat
#

fixed

balmy condor
#

25000 assassination rogues in pve need to suffer

#

it's fucking stupid

slow marsh
#

I blame @hollow river

oak sky
#

yeah

#

its his fault

slow marsh
#

Personally

#

It's all on his shoulder

oak sky
#

fuck that guy

slow marsh
#

Just one of them

sweet bobcat
#

i like him

slow marsh
#

The left shoulder

strange python
#

I'm tired of sin being bad at m+ because sub and outlaw exist. Delete m+ too

balmy condor
#

people be screaming rogue is op and you're like "why is it op, it's like 5th in boss damage and can't aoe" and they go "they're crazy in pvp"

blocked and reported do not speak to me

#

opinion does not matter

#

bye

#

pvp opinion

sweet bobcat
#

the thing is tho

#

most assa rogues aren't even good in pvp

strange python
sweet bobcat
#

because its not as easy to play as a warrior or a DK

slow marsh
#

Pvp rogues are pvp rogues they don't play specs

balmy condor
sweet bobcat
#

so the people whinging

#

are like

sweet bobcat
#

the top 1% of 100 people

#

im agreeing with what you're saying

balmy condor
#

great, delete assa in pvp

strange python
#

Pvp is dead content in 2023

slow marsh
#

It really is

oak sky
sweet bobcat
#

pika is like 23

#

he wouldve been 6

steel ridge
sweet bobcat
#

so thats a great argument dude

balmy condor
steel ridge
#

they just invalidate your existence with one button

strange python
#

Im just saying. Caring about the opinion of pvpers in dragonflight is wild

#

Dragonflight pvp is irrelevant

sweet bobcat
#

not really tho

#

because people play it

slow marsh
#

It really is tho

strange python
#

Like 6 people

sweet bobcat
#

blizzard just needs to fix the pvp talent system and tune abilities in pvp more

#

like they've been doing

oak sky
#

vast majority of wow players are giga casuals

strange python
#

Wow pvp existed until literally any other genre come around and killed it.

slow marsh
#

League of legends killed wow pvp

strange python
#

Yes

flint ridge
#

do we spread dots on mythic kurog or do we just single target kurog all the way with occassional fok?

strange python
#

The exodus of rank 1 wow players to league was insane

strange python
steel ridge
strange python
#

Don't worry about the little guys tho. Unless you're just refreshing SBS stacks

balmy condor
#

these days you also just play single target talents too

steel ridge
#

actually i disabled the nameplats for the little ones 😄

balmy condor
#

don't bother taking CT

#

just rupture/garrote the big adds for energy

oak sky
sweet bobcat
#

i think you'll notice

strange python
#

I don't think people realize how quickly the arena scene died when league came out. Wow arenas went from being the primary non-fps pvp game to being entirely irrelevant in under one season.

sweet bobcat
#

more people play pvp in wow with solo que

#

nobody wanted to sit in LFG to play a sub par pvp game

strange python
#

Okay but those people aren't serious and balance doesn't impact them. Not to be elitist, but it just doesn't

sweet bobcat
#

it does

steel ridge
#

now that i am a boomer myself, i came back

strange python
#

That was an all-time stupid decision

sweet bobcat
#

thats because of the pvp elitists

#

that think they're the only ones who deserve mounts

strange python
#

Most pvp elitists were adamantly against that

sweet bobcat
#

a lot of them aren't

strange python
#

Arenajunkies was furious

#

They killed 2v2s to save 5v5 and no one played 5s

strange python
#

Lots of ex league pros play rogue too

oak sky
#

cruzer

#

i saw one dude who used to play in owl in max's raid group

strange python
#

Weve has a few app

#

I think meteos was the highest raiding expro last I saw? But idk

oak sky
#

meteos and sneaky raid together

strange python
#

Like low end CE

oak sky
#

sneaky is pretty mid and meteos is pretty good

#

im sure its an effort thing tho

#

theyre both really good at video games

#

obviously

balmy condor
#

we had some guy app and he linked clips from him playing in the classic arena championships, no raid experience since nathria and we're like lmao no

strange python
#

Meteos is pretty active in discords trying to get better

balmy condor
oak sky
#

oh yeah

#

shiphtur

#

was in here

#

asking about sub

#

a while back

strange python
#

Classic? Not even just old clips from back in the day?

sweet bobcat
#

insta ginvite

oak sky
#

im pretty sure deftly was raiding with max as well

balmy condor
strange python
oak sky
#

its just a thing

#

idk

#

if they wanted to do it and it was fun for them

#

nothing wrong with it

strange python
slow marsh
strange python
#

I'd vote to trial venruki or neilyo

slow marsh
#

Then gkick in the middle of trial

balmy condor
#

I mean I wouldn't put "I played professional pvp in wrath" and "impressed" in the same sentence personally

sweet bobcat
#

i love that guy

balmy condor
#

regardless of wrath, or classic

strange python
#

Billianz was the OG pvp legend before Hafu

balmy condor
#

like it's an accomplishment to be top 10 or whatever in pvp

#

I just don't care

sweet bobcat
#

AWC is an open tournament

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

like if you're the best pickleball player in the world, I would be like "nice man that's cool"

#

and then never talk about it ever again

strange python
#

I think it's funny how often Azael touts being a pvp champion considering how hard he got carried

slow marsh
#

Pickleball goes hard tho

#

Those old grannies be fit

sweet bobcat
#

so what does it matter

slow marsh
#

Probably that people have that of wow

#

And wow players have that of pvpers

sweet bobcat
#

none of the achievements in this game really mean anything

slow marsh
#

So what does that say

flint ridge
#

man kinda just feel like .5 was a nerf and not a rework kek. i feel like assass is very boring. i guess it has gotten a bit better on m+

balmy condor
oak sky
#

ok cool no achievements matter

#

i can finally quit

#

thank god

sweet bobcat
#

if you wanted

strange python
sweet bobcat
#

all i see is darkness

#

all i feel is pain

strange python
#

A handful of people will care and then promptly be forgotten when you die

sweet bobcat
#

that aint it chief

royal lantern
oak sky
#

stepping stone

#

not full rework

strange python
#

I mean our damage went up

flint ridge
#

I miss kingsbane on rasz.

strange python
#

In our main buuld

#

I don't. Sin on raz sucked.

royal lantern
#

@oak sky copium

#

want some?

oak sky
#

yeah love to have it

flint ridge
#

The double improved poison kingsbane on Rasz is nuts

strange python
#

Sin feels so bad trying to kill zealots and surfers

#

Compared to sub

#

Raz at this stage feels like it's more an add fight than a boss fight

vocal barn
#

i miss flaggellation

grim jay
#

It was somewhat cool, but cant say I miss it

vocal barn
#

it was such a cool ability and we got lame ass sepsis

grim jay
#

I miss KB as a staple skill tho

#

Should be baseline actually

vestal wren
steel ridge
#

lmao

vestal wren
grim jay
#

The capstone itself is tragic

#

DTB is cool but in actuality uninteresting gameplay-wise and could aswell be baseline to further define sin theme

#

And you now use it instead of an interesting ability that offers you an actual big damage poison the spec should have anyways

raven knoll
vestal wren
#

haha, reverse uno card

gaunt moat
#

In an AoE/cleave situation with amp poison
do you track amp stacks to see which targets to envenom (or to envenom instead of CT)?

balmy condor
#

no

sweet sphinx
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
dawn kelp
#

I love going from top dam to tank dam on raz intermission

grim jay
#

I love warrior tanks in CoS now always wanting everyone to LoS first imp casts so they can spellreflect

#

On keys where it actually takes longer to do so

hollow river
subtle tundra
#

too bad it kinda is in m+

hollow river
shy axle
#

do i understand the faq correctly that you just use bonespike to keep it off 3 charges, or are there any other uses to it besides the active dot?

hollow river
subtle tundra
#

rogue isnt always in mdi

#

never has been a staple

#

mdi is not live

balmy condor
#

You want to dump all the charges at the end

shy axle
#

you mean if the boss dies in a few seconds use the last 2 charges to gain dmg/cps?

hollow river
shy axle
#

thank you

grim jay
#

Isnt it pretty close on live between some melees anyways ?

hollow river
#

Idk, I’ll admit I won’t know near as much about live keys as Varas or some of the others atm. But I don’t think tuning in different types of content is what’s really holding us back from being tuned well for raid. That’s the main thing I was trying to get across with my first comment.

wind dune
#

Yea but i wanna play M+ as sin and not be a meme. Why was sub allowed to get band aid fixed last xpac for m+ (just getting bp for free in sl, now it only takes 6 points for all of its aoe) but sins left in the back alley for the last 4 years. "lol reroll" is all i fucking hear, its miserable playing feral druid junior

tacit otter
shrewd night
jade abyss
#

Sin doesnt change very much in the last years? Playstylewise

unreal bear
#

after coming back to the game after years of inactivity, the only thing i noticed was garrote being maintained now

#

there's other things like no real baseline aoe for single target

#

echoing reprimand is... ok i guess?

static glacier
#

poison bomb does aoe dmg even if you're doing pure st

#

core issue with sin is the lack of strong st in dungeon build

unreal bear
#

relying on procs to be able to do aoe feels pretty bad though

static glacier
#

if your spec has giga strong st even if the aoe is mediocre you can save more time than a spec blasting aoe

#

there's sims that show this

#

in a dungeon sim

grim jay
unreal bear
#

i always get people complimenting my ST, but i feel you on it not being amazing

#

BM hunter just blows me out each time

static glacier
#

here's an example from the three hunter specs being compared (sim includes prot warr, havoc dh and rogue)

#

interestingly sv performs v well due to having v. strong st in their dungeon aoe build

unreal bear
#

surprised i rarely see sv

static glacier
#

I play it, it's very good at saving time, middling for overall dmg

unreal bear
#

but i guess overall padding feels better to most people

static glacier
#

it's not exactly useless at aoe, just not powerful if you know what I mean

#

the st is super consistent and v. high

unreal bear
#

yea

#

i feel pretty cool when i get poison bomb procs and i'm doing 200k on a pull

static glacier
#

can hit 70-80k on patchwerk st only bosses in keys

unreal bear
#

then i look at the uh dk

static glacier
#

rogue can only manage 65ish

#

similar gear (417)

unreal bear
#

yea

#

im 413 and even with spreading bleeds all over ner'zhul's bone wall, i only did 72k

static glacier
#

then again sub does a ton more aoe than sv can on mass pulls

#

and assuming good rng with mechanics etc you can hit 70k, but it feels like massive effort, sv sims like 5-6k ahead in dung build and raid build

#

atleast we don't worry about surviving - pun fully intended

unreal bear
#

tru

static glacier
#

been enjoying relaxing while watching zerocool while doing work recently

#

does high keys as sin and isn't as inconsistent at streaming as seli

unreal bear
#

is that the 3200+ sin rogue

#

yea

#

i wanted to check him out

static glacier
#

he's live now if you're interested

unreal bear
#

yeah just loaded it up while making coffee

grim jay
#

Zerocoolstarege

limber lion
#

have fun watching him

#

but take everything he does with grains of salt

grim jay
#

Its not a grain

#

Its grains already

limber lion
#

yeah he's got plenty of weird things he does and weird takes

grim jay
#

Ye ik, just wanted to underline what you said

limber lion
#

he climbs ranks because he plays so much m+, that's literally all he does every single day

grim jay
#

😄

static glacier
#

obviously he's not playing optimally

#

I can see it, but it's good to see the spec represented

limber lion
#

Yep could be pumping quite a bit more in general, but it is what it is

#

as long as you don't start playing Sepsis and Shadow Dance because Zerocool told you so, you're gucci

static glacier
#

bruh

#

he didn't play those, surely not

normal mist
#

Is it worth reporting a player for insta leaving a key after 1 single wipe?

static glacier
#

it's not against the rules

static glacier
#

they're a cunt but not exactly breaking tos

limber lion
#

but yeah a lot of weird stuff here and there

#

probably toned down on his weirdness, but still good to keep in mined

static glacier
#

honestly, I respect it

grim jay
static glacier
#

even if I wouldn't do the same

vague widget
#

It's gameplay sabotage it's definitely ToS lol

unreal bear
#

hol up

#

he plays sepsis and dance?

#

lmao

#

that's actually wild

static glacier
limber lion
#

don't think he actively does

static glacier
#

xd

limber lion
#

but might do that sometimes

#

you never know with him

vague widget
#

No poor performance isn't sabotage in their definition. But leaving deliberately is.

unreal bear
#

every time a sin rogue gets energy starved, i cry

static glacier
#

tbh outside of some sus dot reapp prios i'd say the only thing that feels off to me about his gameplay is shiv

#

he almost always uses it to overcap instead of just sending

unreal bear
#

does he line it up with anything

limber lion
#

his shiv usage is super poor

#

I just tuned in and he was sitting on Shiv for 40s before pressing it

static glacier
#

ye

limber lion
#

literally no reason

static glacier
#

then again I guess you don't press it on mass aoe

#

or was it on boss

raven knoll
#

This is what my friend got like an hour after reporting someone who left his key after 1 wipe.

unreal bear
#

i've used shiv on aoe if i got some nice bomb procs

#

but it feels weird

limber lion
prisma cypress
# shrewd night To quote his Whispyrness; "Are you pushing 24s?"

I never understood this logic. If your group needs more damage and you're playing an undertuned spec, you're potentially holding the group back. yes, it may be viable if everyone plays well, but what good does it do to blame everyone else's play while you meme

limber lion
#

so instead of pressing it with deathmark on 8 targets he waited for deathmark to drop then pressed it on 8 targets

static glacier
#

if you're spamming envs (as he does) yeah makes sense

limber lion
#

but yeh he held it for 15s on boss as well for no reason

static glacier
#

guess he's focused on other stuff, not really rotational execution

limber lion
#

like no wonder he loses to boomkin/dh in boss damage

#

lol

grim jay
limber lion
#

but literally anyone can climb m+ ranks if they do 350 keys a season

unreal bear
#

i thought it was <7 targets you used envenom for procs

limber lion
#

zerocool holds shiv, uses it at low energy

#

like a lot of poor gameplay choices

#

but if you enjoy watching his stream, go off

#

just don't do what he does if you want to improve

limber lion
unreal bear
#

makes sense

#

sometimes poison bomb be proccing nonstop

#

sometimes it's dry as hell

limber lion
#

If you maintain Envenom and CT, you're chilling

#

doesn't matter what other buttons you press

royal lantern
grim jay
#

Actually shows how badly an improved aoe finisher/talent is missing

royal lantern
#

assa has just no real aoe gameplay

#

put dots out for energy and then its W/E

#

cus there is simply not really a actuall rotation or priority or anything like that, keep ct up and thats it

static glacier
grim jay
#

Just make envenom deal more damage per bleed out there, not just on target. New prio damage spec OMEGAKEKW

shrewd night
#

Player a) Man, we could have timed this is we pulled those two packs together, spent our cds differently, perhaps considered a different route
Player b) You know what, we would have timed this if this dog shit rogue didnt play assa, holding us back and being a complete meme

grim jay
unreal bear
#

i want a pet to do 30% of my overall damage

#

also give it utility like lust or bres

royal lantern
#

cus thats my expirience

#

blame the offmeta guy when the other dps did negative dps

shrewd night
#

Nonono, in peoples head assa is just dog shit, always at the bottom, doing tankdamage.

unreal bear
#

subcreation told them sin is F tier

#

so it's not even playable

shrewd night
#

Maybe competing with restodruid

#

Not viable, AT ALL.

royal lantern
unreal bear
#

im literally the only KSH sin rogue on my server

normal mist
shrewd night
#

Is it because you play sub? HAHA YEAH, GOT YOU.

normal mist
#

😮

royal lantern
normal mist
#

alg19 not timed

shrewd night
#

Photoshopped

normal mist
#

xDD

shrewd night
#

No way assa is that high

unreal bear
#

kinda ridiculous

royal lantern
unreal bear
#

extremely sad

#

i barely play m+ too

limber lion
#

damn you guys are nuts

royal lantern
#

not even 2,8k score is wr 101

#

like what the fuck

#

blizzard, there is a problem maybe

#

when legit nobody plays the spec for m+

grim jay
unreal bear
normal mist
#

LOL

unreal bear
#

meme 15 key with two healers

royal lantern
# limber lion damn you guys are nuts

man, ik that its a meme cus my score is mediocre at best if you compare to actually pushers, but thats the thing

all keys on +20 and 3x a 21 is enough for #100 worldwide with a spec should not be a thing lol

unreal bear
#

bonemaw lived for so, so long. i cry

limber lion
royal lantern
#

wut

limber lion
#

but yeh I don't think it's that weird if it's a spec that doesn't have as many players playing it

royal lantern
#

arent you higher wr raiding

limber lion
#

yeh

#

but I don't do any m+

royal lantern
#

fair point

#

honestly i just do +20 for vault most of the time lol

limber lion
#

top 50 raiding, top 10000000000 in m+

unreal bear
#

you have 200 rating on me and there's only ~500 sin rogues between us

#

lol

royal lantern
#

wr 1,8k raiding

unreal bear
#

were there other xpacs where sin was in this state?

prisma cypress
grim jay
royal lantern
# unreal bear were there other xpacs where sin was in this state?

yes no

the thing is that assa was more or less always kinda mediocre at best for m+ cus it simply has no real aoe and just gets 20bandaids stacked by blizzard, AND that outlaw is the defacto m+ spec since forever and that sub is stupid overtuned and braindead to play rn

#

so why play assa

static glacier
#

a group "needing" more damage is a matter of missing a dps check, tbh it feels like this season there aren't that many of those outside of litteral bleeding edge keys where you just can't survive stuff and the only answer is to cc lock > kill

royal lantern
unreal bear
#

raid included

royal lantern
royal lantern
grim jay
royal lantern
#

assa was the worst dps spec in the game on SL launch

#

legit unplayable bad

#

and also played like shit

prisma cypress
static glacier
#

ngl missing timer due to raw dmg

#

assuming no other mistakes is a myth

grim jay
static glacier
#

unless you're talking prenerf av with low gear

prisma cypress
#

i'm not assuming no other mistakes, i'm assuming all else being equal

shrewd night
drifting whale
#

Yo. Brother is brand new to WOW. 70 outlaw is his first char. We have been doing some mythics together but he isn't really enjoying outlaws damage profile.

Im thinking of having him try assassination rogue. Any strong builds with minimal buttons you guys know? Seems a bit more fun for a new player with fan of knives and tempest!

static glacier
#

all else being equal I can wholeheartedly say playing the non damage aspects of a key right matter more than optimising damage, I don't think people miss timers due to suboptimal specs

prisma cypress
#

they matter, but so does damage

grim jay
shrewd night
#

To me, this just sounds like cope for not wanting to admit the group as a whole played with poor execution.

drifting whale
#

This is his first MMO, he is 18. He is loving the game but seeming a bit "lost". He ilkes to know he is playing his spec correctly

shrewd night
#

Looking back at runs, I can always find ways to improve and groupwide reasons to why the run failed.

#

Suboptimal specs are not partof that equation. At least not yet.

balmy condor
#

The aoe rotation for Assassination basically falls under “maintain everything and then idk do stuff”

drifting whale
balmy condor
#

It’s super hard to pinpoint exactly what you should be doing at any given time, and it’s really experience and instinct based

drifting whale
#

(i dont play rogue, this is off guides)

grim jay
#

Sub aswell has a lot of optimization stuff. Might wanna try outlaw, probably has the least buttons aswell

#

Has many procs and frequent buttons tho

shrewd night
#

Honestly, Id start off as a caster. Not alot of buttons usually and with casttimes you have time to plan your next move 2ez

balmy condor
#

Cause “correctly” is super nebulous

#

Like yeah okay you finish envenom with prio

#

And then you finish tempest on super high target counts

#

But what exactly is prio

limber lion
#

I've played this spec as my main for 5+ years and I have no clue what buttons to press in AoE.

balmy condor
#

And there’s a ton of like okay do I hold my cd here or not

#

It’s real hard

#

Also because of envenom vs CT

#

There’s a lot of times where “correctly” means lower damage

drifting whale
#

If he doesn't vibe with assass rogue we are giong devoker! so he will be in easy chill hands worst comes to worst.

balmy condor
#

And that can be weird for someone who’s new and has no idea other than higher number = better

royal lantern
grim jay
drifting whale
#

He was able to do a 12 key with me at 365 ilvl, his kicks and group stuff is great. He just needs a more manageable rotation.

Will try to theorycraft a "simpler" build for assass rogue. Any ideas lmk!

balmy condor
#

Yeah good luck KEKLaugh

#

Our tree is giga rigid

grim jay
#

As I said before, let him try outlaw

#

😁

drifting whale
#

he has been outlaw for about 20ish lvl 70 hours

weak isle
#

Somehow feel sin actually has most utility for m+ right now

drifting whale
#

APM seems to be the problem. He ends up doing tons of shadow strikes for no reaso in his logs

balmy condor
#

The most you can do for simpler is dropping tea for lethality on the class tree

limber lion
#

outlaw is so much easier to play if you need a manageable/simpler rotation for aoe than assassination

balmy condor
#

But even then like

#

That’s not much easier

limber lion
#

it's the same stuff as in single target, it doesn't really change

#

but assa changes entirely

drifting whale
balmy condor
grim jay
vague widget
#

I think they mean sinister.

balmy condor
#

Shadow strike is a sub rogue ability

grim jay
#

Thats the question. If he mistook sub for outlaw or just named the wrong spell

drifting whale
#

MEANT sinister

#

LOL

weak isle
#

There we go

drifting whale
#

i think it was too much for him to be hitting his GCDs with his procs. id have to stand over his shoulder to see.

#

As in, his ambush was like 3% sinister strike 7%

grim jay
#

@balmy condor spellqueue? monkahmm kekw kekw

drifting whale
#

lot of the logs i checked it was like, blade flurry 40% and pistol/ambush/dispatch tied

royal lantern
#

rogue ability names, aka "some form of torture, a mortal wound or NAMEstrike"

turbid heath
#

Jeweled Signet or crafted ring? what we all rolling with fellas

balmy condor
#

Signet

royal lantern
#

why crafted ring unless you have nothing else

grim jay
royal lantern
#

non embelishment crafted gear is just "i dont have anything better on that slot"

grim jay
unreal bear
#

is there an estimate to how much a socket is worth ilvl wise

grim jay
unreal bear
#

yeah i get that

#

i was speaking generally

royal lantern
#

a socket on a non weapon piece is better then 3 ilvl iirc

#

but like, yeha, sim

grim jay
#

Tell me what you wanna do with that knowledge

#

Decide if you wanna put a socket on ?

drifting whale
#

thx all

unreal bear
#

no, i was asking a general question

turbid heath
#

just double checkin

unreal bear
#

like if you wanted a scenario, 415 ring with socket versus 418 no socket with equal stat weights. do you suspect the math values the 415 + socket worth more, less, or equally

grim jay
#

You could look at the amount of stats and if the socket with r3 gem adds more stats than the difference if you really wanted to not sim

echo heath
#

Got asked to switch to Death Knight, unrelated to performance, our one other DK wants to focus on his hall of fame guild and not prog twice

royal lantern
#

why do you have a dk that raids in 2 guilds

echo heath
#

well we dont anymore

#

lol

royal lantern
#

why is somone like that in the raidteam in the first place lol

grim jay
#

That was the only right answer

echo heath

yeah I don't blame you at all

that's so odd

"I want to raid with the homies"

#

"sorry don't want to prog this again"

which ya know, fair, but god damn

echo heath
#

he had been doing it since legion, but he was so gung ho this expac, he was raid leading us and getting fed gear and then one day he was just done with us

balmy condor

I would love to reprog dathea and diurna again

reminds me of my ex

balmy condor

Reprog this pal hypergrab

im proging dathea right now

#

and i hate that boss

#

but prob cus im leading

balmy condor
#

I had so much fun hitting the target dummy boss for 70 pulls, and then killing the target dummy boss and then hitting the next target dummy boss for 110 pulls

gaunt moat
balmy condor
#

Holy shit what a great time

#

9 hours of target dummy practice a week

#

How lucky am I to be paying money for that

#

What a privilege

limber lion
#

brood sucks cock

balmy condor
#

I’m already enjoying having things to do on raz

#

Even if it’s just running against wind and stacking on a mage

#

Infinitely better than dathea and brood

gusty mirage
#

who hurt you

#

I tried swapping to adds on brood

#

and I was told to stay on boss

#

ITS SO FUCKING BORING MAN

#

my rl finally pieced together why anduin prog was so terrible for me @balmy condor

#

only took him about a year

balmy condor
# gusty mirage who hurt you

Eranog target dummy
Council benched every week cause don’t need and bad spec
Terros target dummy
Sennarth target dummy
Kurog target dummy
Dathea target dummy
Brood target dummy

gusty mirage
#

sounds about right

#

raz as sin is target dummy too

#

dw

#

because you're actually useless in intermission

balmy condor
#

Yeah but it’s a target dummy that at least tries to fight back

gusty mirage
#

in b4 you wipe another 80 times

#

to people not kicking sparks

balmy condor
#

Our sparks are really good actually

gusty mirage
#

oh it'll still happen

balmy condor
#

We missed like 2 sparks total in the first 10ish pulls

#

Having 3 priests helps

gusty mirage
#

why the fuck

#

do you have 3 priests

balmy condor
#

Cause we have a shadow one trick

gusty mirage
#

arguably the worst class for that fight

balmy condor
#

And a holy one trick

gusty mirage
#

and you have 3 of them

balmy condor
#

And a disc

gusty mirage
#

tell them to untalent feather

#

it doesn't do anything

#

and to swap void elf

steel ridge
#

So you are playing sin and complain about target dummy? 😂

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

Is there a problem with that

steel ridge
#

Isnt that like every raid

gusty mirage
#

do you at least get to run eggs sometimes on brood?

balmy condor
#

I didn’t realize you enjoyed hitting a boss with no mechanics for 9 hours a week nerazar

gusty mirage
#

oh

steel ridge
#

actually i do

gusty mirage
#

so the same prison I'm in

steel ridge
#

😂

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

or in my case, just 6 hoursa

steel ridge
#

thats why i play sin in the first place

royal lantern
#

less pain, but still sucks

balmy condor
#

You’re actually ill

#

I want to do things other than just my rotation for 3 hours straight

steel ridge
#

Brain off, tunnelvision and go

steel ridge
#

As long as the rotation is fun i dont mind it

gusty mirage
#

but the rotation isn't fun

balmy condor
#

If I wanted brain off I would play maplestory and grind, and I do enjoy that

gusty mirage
#

it's literally the same shit it's always been with 3 extra buttons sprinkled in

balmy condor
#

Wow isn’t that game

echo heath
balmy condor
steel ridge
#

Kurog

gusty mirage
#

sylvanas

echo heath
#

old raids it seemed like we were only ever brought for soaking mechanics

gusty mirage
#

imagine soaking on kurog

balmy condor
#

I’m not assigned any of that shit

steel ridge
#

i was

balmy condor
#

Good for you

gusty mirage
#

your other option for dathea is swapping IC + Iron Wire if you'd like @balmy condor

steel ridge
#

Soaked fire, collected earthquake and soaked meteor thingy

gusty mirage
#

and casting vanish 3 times in 8 minutes

balmy condor
#

Bro this raid is so ass

steel ridge
#

i was important

gusty mirage
#

agreed

balmy condor
#

It’s unreal

#

Worst first raid I’ve ever played

echo heath
#

hey at least we can skin the trash for sweet leathercrafting mats

balmy condor
#

Which sucks cause the rest of the expansion is so good

gusty mirage
#

like raz's saving grace is that sylvanas existed

#

lets be honest

#

lmao

balmy condor
#

I think raz is okay

gusty mirage
#

I do too

balmy condor
#

Raz and terros are like the two okay fights

#

Kurog was okay

gusty mirage
#

sennarth, dathea, council, brood

#

zzzzz

balmy condor
#

Sennarth was ALMOST good

gray crest
#

Fuck spider

balmy condor
#

Except for the fact that it’s just 90% cheese

echo heath
#

sennarth is boring as rogue because we cheese the only mechanic that creates trouble with grip

balmy condor
#

Pull in? Step cheese or hug a rock
Stairs? Gateway
Last phase? Solo soak your thing like 4 times and then step the push cheese

gusty mirage
#

sennarth as a rogue is waiting for everyone else to figure out how to run away from the spider or stand in webs

balmy condor
#

Which like okay

unreal bear
#

Sennarth is fun if you play it on rogue hardmode

balmy condor
#

I get to do something

#

That’s cool

unreal bear
#

you have to get yeeted off and shadowstep to a raid member to save yourself

balmy condor
#

But all of it is just ignore the shit

gusty mirage
#

whoever designed dathea

#

is actually an asshole though

#

that fight is fucking awful

balmy condor
#

Yeh idk who decided that the platform needed like 12 tornados

echo heath
#

and programmed the tornadoes to always be on your lock gates

#

ALWAYS

balmy condor
#

You had lock gates?

#

On dathea?

echo heath
#

oh sorry, sennarth

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Yeah that was fun

#

Chain wiping and telling the warlock to move the gate 1 step down and 3 pixels right

#

And then chain wiping

#

And asking him to aim it 3 degrees left

#

I swear we spent like a third of prog

#

Just positioning the lock gate

#

So it would be more consistent

gray crest
#

The locks didn't take into account the trajectory of the moon and the sun when placing their gate, therefore you will get hit by the tornado when you leave the gate

drifting whale
#

ok, this is what i've come up with for my friend who is new to WoW and swapping to assassination. We only do m+. BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAISikkEJUSAAAAAAAkEAJCAAAAAAg0QiUSCSSSKpkIQSQkA

normal kite
#

can't forget the star sign of each individual tornado as well

drifting whale
#

let me know how much worse this is than grabbing the 2 actives i swapped out!

balmy condor
#

What’s your definition of much worse

drifting whale
#

if he was losing 10% it wouldnt be that bad imo

echo heath
#

some dungeons youll need iron wire instead of fok damage

drifting whale
#

he is new new

#

losing more dps to himself than talents basically

drifting whale
balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Dropping exsang is whatever

#

Dropping tea is slightly less whatever

drifting whale
#

that's what im hoping for. I honestly think he can turn on thistle after a few runs

balmy condor
#

But if you’re dropping exsang for master assassin it’s because you’re taking iron wire

#

Iron wire is the most busted op utility

drifting whale
#

oh ok, interesting. this is what im looking for.

#

i thought it was for the left node, the damage one

balmy condor
#

There are many left nodes

drifting whale
#

MA

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Yeah the damage on that is pretty pathetic

#

But it’s good enough in aoe that you don’t really care about exsanguinate at the end of the day

#

He might be able to notice it on bosses

drifting whale
#

So if skipping exsang, you would still ideally path iron wire no matter what.

#

The FOK seemed much better in lower keys, ill adjust

#

nvm. second point in improved poison. i see now

balmy condor
#

Yeah playing Assassination without iron wire is like driving a car down the highway in 2nd gear

#

Like sure you can

#

But I don’t see why you would

#

Iron wire is a 20 yard solar beam + and iron bark, on a 45 second cooldown

gusty mirage
#

why are you still awake

balmy condor
#

It’s uh

#

Quite stupid

gusty mirage
#

go to sleep

drifting whale
#

good way of putting that.

gusty mirage
#

wtf is wrong with you

looking for a new puzzlebox

unreal bear
#

what's holding you back?

drifting whale
#

i didn't feel like it was hard to get ilvl until i was nearing late 390s. What content are you running?

#

It may not be worth target farming items that will need mass valor to up

dreamy gull
#

i dont play mythics very much

#

cause i find it annoying to constantly apply to groups for like 30 mins straight

#

its weird to me that i was consistently getting declined from +5s

#

at 378

drifting whale
#

If 380 ilvl is a milestone you may want to just do mythic 0s then? But yeah if you aren't a mythic spammer hardly matters anyways!!

gusty mirage
dreamy gull
#

m0 doesnt drop stuff above 376 or something

i think

#

i forget the exact number

unreal bear

crafted gear goes a long way too

also mythic 0 lobbies are horrible

unreal bear

you can get pretty hard carries if you just put "bonus valor" on your key

its full of ppl hilariously undergeared who leave immediately if somebody dies

I got KSM 400 ilvl in about 60 endgame hours just doing dungeons. May be worth posting your keys!

if ilvl is important to you, that is

only 200ish more pulls roujin

you got this buddy

i have no idea how fast you get it down

i did watch kieron progress it shortly, and they seem to progress rly fast on the boss

#

how many pulls is the boss after the nerfs average?

gray crest
#

Idk, but the goats over in nascent did it in 200 prenerf

But we aren't nearly as good as them

i hope people get it down faster than 200 pulls

You can't change the stats on flaring cowl. It is always haste mastery

grizzled storm

Oh! thank you sir, probably why i was having issues bring in the code from wowhead.

I'm trying to sim to see if it's worth it to make a 418 flaring cowl now and remove my fang adorments

How long till you got into p2

strange python
#

We took 90 on sennarth and 130 on dathea. Don't be too impressed

balmy condor
#

We needed 110 for diurna

strange python
#

Probably 85 till p2? We blew through p1 for first night, then spent most of our prog on intermission1

balmy condor
#

Yeah makes sense

dreamy gull
#

The most attempts I've ever put into a boss without succeeding is 6000 I think

strange python
#

Honestly p2 probably only took us 30 pulls, but we were extremely inconsistent on getting it to p2

gusty mirage
#

110 for brood?

strange python
#

There's a LOT on raz that's preplannable. If your RL is assigning stack spots, spread spots for charges in p2, bait spots for breath in both intermissions, you can get through it fast

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

how

#

why

strange python
#

We took 80 for brood too

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

Okay

#

I’m off by 8

#

Sue me then

gusty mirage
#

maybe I will

#

gonna adversely possess that booty

balmy condor

It felt like 380

Adds or boss

worst boss since fatescribe

I did boss and was super bored

balmy condor
#

Boss

dreamy gull
#

Yeah diurna is boring imo

balmy condor
strange python
#

Wait brood isn't even worse than lords of dread

balmy condor
strange python
limber lion
#

lords is fun to play

#

brood isn't

dreamy gull
#

Why would I do that

lapis bay
#

Any m+ build that would be good for beginners?

limber lion
#

brood is not difficult at all, it's just long and boring

#

no mechanics, nothing

strange python
#

I've never heard anyone say lords is fun before

balmy condor
limber lion
#

wut

#

2 targets

#

massive AMP phases to maximize damage

dreamy gull
#

It still took 15 minutes to kill her in LFR though

limber lion
#

how can it not be fun

oak sky
#

I guess people trolling got really frustratibg

#

Ng

strange python
#

Constantly running out with purple or to bait was massively unfun

limber lion
#

lmaooooooooooooooooooo

#

pressing wasd is unfun

#

damn

strange python
#

Not hitting the boss is definitely not fun.

oak sky
#

We had ranged baiting in the melee bait spots which was really annoying but without that i think it wasnt bad

balmy condor
# dreamy gull Why would I do that

Idk, I’ve just seen you talk about nothing but m0’s and LFR, so it’s a little confusing to me that you would have an opinion on bosses when you’re doing the story mode versions that are missing half the mechanics. Everything’s boring at that level

limber lion
#

much more fun than hitting the boss 24/7 without any effect

strange python
#

I'd rather do SoD guardian than lords

limber lion
#

i'd MUCH rather afk for the entire 5 first minutes of the boss instead of hitting it for 5 minutes hoping that group 2 doesn't fail

strange python
#

Tbh

oak sky
#

Dust build peepo

limber lion
#

Guardian was fine

balmy condor
#

Dust lords was crazy

limber lion
#

it's all still better than brood

#

SoD guardian was boring but like

balmy condor
#

It was a very different playstyle

#

Unique

#

based dust enjoyer

balmy condor
#

Oh I fucking hated it

oak sky
#

I wish i got real farm in sepulcher

limber lion
#

lmaoooo

strange python
#

I don't find "okay run away from the boss now" mechanics fun /shrug

balmy condor
#

But it was different

#

So I respect it

limber lion
#

I prefer the "run away from boss" mechanic more than "0 mechanics, literally nothing to do for 5 minutes, just hit boss"

strange python
oak sky
#

Theres run away from the boss now mechanics on like every good boss too

oak sky
strange python
#

Uhh. Delusion?

limber lion
#

legit dathea is a better boss than brood because you have to be alert with the circles and tornados

#

brood you legit don't even have to have the monitor on

#

and dathea still sucks major cock

strange python
#

I'd rather be bored than annoyed I guess.

limber lion
#

do you legit enjoy hitting a boss for 5 minutes for 0 benefit more than having to move out once every 30s?

balmy condor
limber lion
#

doing actual valuable damage that matters for 95% of the time instead of doing 0% valuable damage for 5 minutes

strange python
#

I think downtime is bad and unfun and too common.

#

Halondrus good. Rygelon good. Lords bad. Lihuvim bad.

balmy condor
#

What about vigilant guardian

brazen zodiac
#

everyone always forgets about our big yellow man ::(

strange python
#

Awful

#

Vigilant guardian might be one of the worst bosses of the entire expansion

#

I don't even care that he starts alive 10 seconds in on mythic. Fight still stinks

balmy condor
#

But it’s a 0 downtime boss

coarse bear
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

Vigilant guardian is an add boss and half the fight the adds are just dead

#

That's basically downtime

gray crest
#

We all know that anduin was the best boss of the expansion. Isn't that right @gusty mirage

balmy condor
#

But you hit boss

strange python
#

I take it back. Artificer was the worst boss in the tier

#

I forgot how bad sepulcher was jeez

oak sky
#

Nah it was definitely anduin
