oh and

gaunt moat
#

which chart is that hah, cause in the overall 95% they published sin is lower

regal sable
#

thanks @vestal wren @balmy condor

vestal wren
#

like

#

i would say wcl this tier is fairly missleading

#

in terms of power of specs

balmy condor
#

I may have not saved the imports for these sims Despair

grim jay

Meanwhile me sitting like 1.8k lower bcs 2x crafted dagger and heroic ring club

What's the icon alternative for Exsang. lul

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

but unlike you, I decide to make the same mistake again

vestal wren
#

was only dungeon slice tho, so it wasn't as bad

balmy condor
#

more work for myself

vestal wren

you can just take the profiles from

Never lucky with weapons

#

yeh

probably the quickest way to yoink all the gear and stuff

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

offhand dagger

#

literal 0

vestal wren
#

should include sigils for darkmoon

balmy condor
#

oh sick

#

my original sims didn't have those anyway

sharp ore
#

I almost had an anxiety attack yesterday when running some m+ and feeling like I could do no damage. Large packs died too quickly for the big dots and cooldowns like IC to do much and the smaller, but tougher packs are generally running out of IC time and then damage dips really bad. How do you deal with fortified weeks in general? Is this a common issue and is there a way to kind of mitigate how frustrating it can be?

vestal wren
#

i mean

#

even with sigil

#

dracthyr_kek its not like you would use them on assassination

grim jay
#

Kinda more of an upgrade over 415 than I thought

gaunt moat
#

@balmy condor intresting boots you've got there

vestal wren
#

idol does not sim terrible for m+

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

those were from uh

#

+17 or whatever

gaunt moat
#

wait what?

balmy condor
#

cause 20's week 1 were pain

gaunt moat
#

it's not a mistake?

balmy condor
#

no

#

I mean the upgrade level is bugged

#

but that's just a pair of vault boots

gaunt moat
#

ah

sharp ore
grim jay
#

Hc Eranog Ring week1 saved my low m+ slots

balmy condor
#

in raids for example, sending an assassination rogue onto add packs is generally considered pretty troll

#

most just glue to the boss and live their lives that way

balmy condor
#

but I'm guessing that's just how wowhead has to parse it into raidbots for the logic everywhere to work or whatever

#

funky tooltip stuff

sharp ore
#

I know. I just... Mostly enjoy raiding, I do fairly well with my group, and we're only at the end of heroic anyways. It's just the specc I enjoy. So when I try to compliment my gear with M+ gear I feel like I'm letting people down. I tried outlaw again, and I couldn't get it to click really.

balmy condor
#

would suggest maybe trying subtlety

#

the stats are basically equal to sins

#

and it's not difficult right now either

#

pretty easy to pick up

sharp ore
#

,> Scary. But I guess I can try.

earnest remnant
#

sub is piss ez to play

#

u got it

balmy condor
sharp ore
#

I always found sub really weird in earlier expansions.

vestal wren
#

just give yourself a bit of time to learn the spec

sharp ore
#

But maybe it's worth giving it a proper sho?

vestal wren
#

should click fast and then its quite enjoyable

balmy condor
#

like, an embarrassing amount of time

sharp ore
#

any major things to think about when transitioning from sin?

grim jay
vestal wren
#

done in after effects or on a website?

earnest remnant
#

anybody need broodkeeper daggers?

but big + for using resolve

vestal wren
#

most ppl i know don't want to use resolve because its not as intuitive as adobe or apple software

grim jay
nocturne current
earnest remnant
#

i used to live inside vegas pro and AE, but lost my license to them after i stopped working with it, and ive been to lazy to get them the PiratePoggers way

#

so ive been on the lookout for vid editor software for some time that i actually like using

balmy condor
vestal wren
#

ah nice

#

resolve is basically the best you can get and its free stealthi

#

i use it for all my renders/videos too

balmy condor
#

I wish I learned more from them

#

but having to edit 300 interviews

#

uh

#

took a while

vestal wren
#

it is just, fairly complicated compared to adobe or final cut

#

thats why almost all youtubers stick with one of these

earnest remnant
vestal wren
#

(but the movie industry is fairly big on it, most of the series you see on netflix are edited using it)

earnest remnant
#

gonna start posting, speed kill videos i think, since im bored in my spare time and need a new hobby other than not sleeping

#

our diurna reclear was clean as hell I have you know

#

see

#

clean

drifting cloud
#

why you dieing

balmy condor
#

didn't have cloak

vestal wren
#

just wait

#

rank 1 in a month will all do the pre pull shananigans, shadowlands edition

balmy condor
#

no more prepulls fuu

#

please

#

mercy

drifting cloud
#

oh did you get gibbed by the wildfire + shorud combo threw cheat

#

I love that one

drifting cloud
#

that killed me like 2-3 pulls in a row during prog when I had to save cloak to soak

#

I was so mad

balmy condor
#

I have to save cloak for the 7:30ish thingy

#

with the soak shroud

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

and then the 8:30 overlap cucks me

drifting cloud
#

or wait maybe thats the one youre talking about

#

because timings are weird depending if you do fast p1 or slow p1

balmy condor
#

yeah there's like a tank soak into lasers into shroud

earnest remnant
#

imagine not playing a spec that can just press vanish whenever they feel like it and be fine

balmy condor
#

"should recommend vanishing the shroud"

#

and I just went

#

"no"

earnest remnant
#

yeh no

balmy condor
vestal wren
#

wait

#

hear me out

#

On broodkeeper whenever i got hit by wildfire, i didn't see my health go down, so i thhought "it's no big deal, can just stand in it"
end of night:

drifting cloud
#

think I actually saved it once as assa (dont tell anyone)

vestal wren
#

^ see, subtlety raid buff

balmy condor
#

has anyone actually specced into that

#

just out of curiosity

vestal wren
#

no

earnest remnant
balmy condor
#

that's what I thought

cobalt hemlock
#

last podcast 3 months ago i guess there isnt enought to talk about? also how did assa rogue go from best rtwf class into the absolute bottom in dmg

magic vine
#

its even worse than you think because you have to take like the 2nd worst talent in the tree to get it

vestal wren
#

i mean

#

its kind of... telling

#

many dead talents

balmy condor
#

the rotten

gaunt moat
#

How are you guys getting sims that high, i'm simming for 82k ๐Ÿฅฒ

balmy condor
vestal wren
#

another 0.2% dps or so on it

#

100% make it good

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

only like 5.5% to go or whatever

earnest remnant
vestal wren
#

one rotten build is not even that bad iirc

#

but ye like 5% probably behind

#

assassination has less dea talents i feel

#

i feel bad for

balmy condor
#

who are these people

vestal wren
#

^ like this i can understand

balmy condor
#

those talents aren't recommended anywhere

vestal wren
#

but fatas seems pmuch dead

balmy condor
#

who's using them

vestal wren
#

maybe using a old talent build

#

just never adjusted to changes

balmy condor
#

yeh I guess

vestal wren
#

fatal might be the same idk

#

not sure why people play it

#

TTB kind of ended up like expected

magic vine
#

"i have all this stuff that improves my poisons and i've got dtb giving me extra, it has to be good"

gaunt moat
earnest remnant
#

and im fully socketed

vestal wren
gaunt moat
#

me too

drifting cloud
#

you simming with something disabled then?

#

unless you dont have eggnog ring and are missing enchant or something it shouldnt be that much lower

magic vine
#

my pet theory on ttb is that some producer or lead dev fucking loves the talent and won't let it die

vestal wren
#

@balmy condor monkahmm

gaunt moat
#

other than "A network error occurred. Check your connectivity" which i keep getting

#

ah alright. WF was disabled.
that being said, i wish i could get to 85k in game.
i don't get close.

vestal wren
#

somehow

#

nobody switched to orc even tho orcs sim highest (only on assassination tho)

cobalt hemlock
#

also just curious about how did assa go from the best spec into one of the worst. My raid lead said assa falls off but never seen it go from top to bottom maybe because the raid has a lot of adds? or idk maybe all players just play outlaw or sub

vestal wren
#

if you talk about wcl statistics

magic vine
#

harder for assa to pad

vestal wren
#

the mythic statistic did take quite a bit of time to get all figths in, so we always had a incomplete one

drifting cloud
#

15 other specs got buffed

vestal wren
#

also the raid is poorly designed for assassinations strenghs

drifting cloud
#

kb died in 10.0.5

vestal wren
#

while, single target is a strong point and execute, and you can make a argument for it being very important

#

overall the raid has multiple fights adds are not trivial/ignorable

magic vine
#

yea the 2min/3min split is awkward, and several of the fights have phase/add cycles that don't fit into those nicely

vestal wren
#

also nerfs did put assassination less noticable ahead of the other specs

#

start of xpac it was a lot more i fav. of assassination

quasi pine
vestal wren
#

that is basically also why all 3 rogue specs are so close, blizz did apply nerfs to us even if they overdid it

quasi pine
#

pretty sad if yes

balmy condor
#

how could assassination fall off in statistics if assassination SCALESSSSSSSSSS

vestal wren
#

what does to a degree also break our neck

#

is how balance is done

raven knoll
#

Why is assa first in heroic logs and last in mythic logs? Why is there such a huge difference?

vestal wren
#

basically they did buff other classes by high amounts of damage

royal lantern
#

smh

vestal wren
#

shooting up way above what was before the "best option"

balmy condor
#

no one can pad

royal lantern
raven knoll
#

understandable

balmy condor
#

it's just boss boss boss on heroic

#

and a lot higher burst

#

and those are two things that assassination happens to do fairly okay

vestal wren
#

^ then more single target/low target cleave the raid is design wise then stronger assassination is

cobalt hemlock
#

making fun of the feral in the raid now im budget feral Sadge

royal lantern
#

the problem is: mythic raiding is not "pure single target all bosses" since mythic is a thing

#

cus that would be shit

balmy condor
#

I might actually have to play sub on raz prog tbh

gaunt moat
#

you'd think unholy would be better on heroic

balmy condor
#

the talks have started

#

about intermission prep

royal lantern
#

wow, our faq is done by a sub main again?????

balmy condor
#

assa intermission damage is so fucking bad man

#

it's unreal

magic vine
#

i think sin really needs one of the mid tree abilities moved to baseline and ic moved up, so its possible to get aoe without a capstone

balmy condor
#

just CT baseline would already be a good step

#

and then put another fok talent in its place

#

since flying daggers can hardly be considered a fok talent

magic vine
#

like ct baseline and ic in ct's spot would be fine to me

balmy condor
#

15% damage conditional on 5+ target

vestal wren
random fossil
#

That would be foking good

#

Haha

balmy condor
vestal wren
balmy condor
#

oh

royal lantern
#

why not both?

balmy condor
#

that is also a thing

#

I hate it

#

but it is a thing

royal lantern
#

hidden blades as a new capstone pls

balmy condor
#

blizzard apparently liked it enough to give it to us as an option for 3 fucking expansions

vestal wren
#

isn't it a established assassinaiton spell

balmy condor
#

so seems reasonable

vestal wren
#

was on the tree for 2 xpacs

balmy condor
#

legion legendary before that

vestal wren
#

i know

balmy condor
#

just can't get rid of hidden blades

unless you have aoe pumper on blue its gonna be spicy without dh

balmy condor

this is comp right now, with a prot pal coming in to replace the guardian druid

vestal wren
#

feral and enh

#

nice

balmy condor
#

ayysha cranks real hard

magic vine
vestal wren
#

ngl feral is kinda nice atm

balmy condor
#

she was top overall on diurna today

drifting cloud
#

we actually swapped like 2-3 dps on blue this week - dh, and I went sub from first pull and it still somehow wasnt working so we had to bring our dh from red

#

then it was cake

#

so I guess our other dh was just carrying us all along

balmy condor
#

I wish I didn't die 1:30 before the kill every time

i do wish blizz would stick a couple artists on adding in cosmetic options for all the races to fill them out to have even half as many as humans do

super cursed tech

#

reminded me of the old goblin rocket jump tech for mythic kil'jaeden

vestal wren
#

didn't think about that

royal lantern
#

early mythic KJ was cursed

vestal wren
#

haha tryan had my back, was about to say the same

#

also i love how DH literally can't die on the fight

cobalt hemlock
#

i find it extremly funny how aliance was so bad so people went back prior expansion and got hall of fame for allience

vestal wren
#

aliance was never rly bad

#

its just that the entire raiding community is horde

royal lantern
#

its not that alliance is bad, blizz just created a problem and let it grow out of controll

vestal wren
#

so no reason to make your recruitement pool worse by switching fractions

royal lantern
#

like, 50% of horde raiders now where alliance once lol

cobalt hemlock
#

well its kinda half fixed now at least

vestal wren
#

its not fixed before cross fraction guilds work well

cobalt hemlock
#

but yeah when i do key and 4 horde people join idk how cursed it would be before the change

vestal wren
#

we are atm in the process of "getting almost there" in terms of implementation

#

but this is luckily the spot blizz likes to stop at

royal lantern
#

when you wanted to do a +16for weekly, it was like 2-4 keys avaible at 8pm

#

have there been any dance assasa builds discovered that obv wont be BiS but can still preform like maybe within 5-10 percent of BiS?

royal lantern
#

dance and assa is gonna be weird rn mate sorry

#

too many dead talent points

balmy condor
#

you can just drop the middle column and take the route down into dance

#

that's 5 to 10%

cobalt hemlock
#

why play assa dance woudnt it be better to play sub then?

#

i mean if you think its fun good for you just saying

balmy condor
cobalt hemlock
#

thats sadly true

jade abyss

Better we all play Hunter starege

Sometimes I miss our discord when I'm on other classdiscords

People arguing for hours about melee supremacy and how it sucks specs arent tailored to 15s and instead some are only good on 20+

I like the lime ones

royal lantern
#

purple has the best taste

grim jay

I had one that had a really pretty grey colour to it

#

That was the best

I just saw the wowhead raid rankings. Is Assassination the worst spec in the game now?

little light
#

yes facts, the bars never lie

misty holly
#

Even Elemental Shaman ahead of us ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

little light
#

if your bar is smaller then just bad spec

#

:p

misty holly
turbid heath
#

Assassination has been the worst spec in the game since hitting Waking Shores, can't even kill fire elementals. We've just been riding a wave because rogues are a cool class that everyone wants to play tbh

little light
#

I havent really check the numbers behind the rankings right now but prob a mix of encounter design and class representation

misty holly
little light
#

and unecessary extra nerfs to sin at the beginning of the patch

turbid heath
little light
#

if I remember correctly it was the 5% to all specs + ER nerf which only sin uses

After experiencing 60 struggle

I think only fire ele we can kill ATM is the "m a s s i v e f i r e e l e m e n t a l" as khadgar would say

storm belfry
#

what phial do you guys use in m+?

turbid heath
#

Vers cause I'm a bb

i was using that cause wasnt sure what else. is corrupting rage any good?

ive got the legion stuff as well. the big fiery blob is useful for seeing my toon

earnest remnant
#

thats the price you can get

wind dune
#

Lol like less then 2k dps or someshit. Insane we do so much more st

earnest remnant
#

didn't say it was a good price

grim jay
#

Inflation is high

#

Still paying the same price so you get less

subtle kiln
#

assa just not hitting crit and haste break points. spec is fine. copium

grim jay
#

Did you say

#

Scaling ?

earnest remnant
#

dont let whispyr see that

subtle kiln
#

historically accurate that assa scales well with gear and ilvl. starege

uncut echo
#

Yeah I think it's a reroll angle for me

#

Had a whole night of m kurog prog and playing my heart out to be bottom dps is trash

grim jay
#

You could play fury aswell

#

I mean outlaw

uncut echo
#

I have a DH I swapped off

#

No fuck outlaw

#

My dh has 421 icon and box, swapping back would be painless

I did fine on sub aswell tho

Im not either

subtle tundra

But explaining to my guild that I'm actually doing fine

#

Sucks

#

Bc they're details warriors

grim jay
#

Arent you raiding with whispyr

subtle tundra
#

Idk I played assa on kurog and it was fine

#

Sure the raid leader wasn't happy that I wasn't outlaw

uncut echo
#

No. I'm not

#

I wish, but no

subtle tundra
#

But me being outlaw wouldn't have made the prog faster

#

We were wiping to enrage

#

And outlaw isn't more st

uncut echo
#

Ooof

grim jay
#

Yeah I'd just bear with it. Maybe you have the same issue later that varas had

ebon notch
#

How come you're bottom DPS?

#

Do you have any logs we can look at?

royal lantern
#

probs cus he only does boss+big elemental

#

and the rest goes bigbrain aoe for small adds

ebon notch
#

I mean outlaw does good damage cause they pad like crazy

sweet dawn
#

I played IC on Eranog mythic clear last night by accident and parsed 96 for ilvl, accidents can be nice sometimes

#

haha nice

#

<insert rotating pepe gif>

uncut echo
#

Nah idk it's just incredibly tilting that rogues have fundamental bugs that aren't being addressed. Broken talents. We got a first pass talent tree and gigaslumped on

#

It's so depressing

vestal wren
#

assassination got a 2nd iteration on the tree

#

that made it worse

#

so not sure we should be sad or happy that we didn't see more change

uncut echo
#

You know what I mean though, Fuu

#

Like, call it envy bc it is

But watching afflocks get EXACTLY what they want, mages get turbofixed

strange python
#

If your raidlead isnโ€™t able to identify the pad and judges you on overall, the problem isnโ€™t the spec but your raidlead

vestal wren
#

the problem is overall balance will for the most part be assumed on overall wcl statistics

#

and many of the players, even tho they know better, still will talk about damage meter placement

dark garnet
#

Point to damage dealt to boss

ebon notch
vestal wren
#

i think we had a similar discussion earlier today. I think the wcl statistic is just fairly missleading

Yeah, I donโ€™t mind people fn around on farm but if youโ€™re RL has no clue on that during progress, you kinda fight a battle you canโ€™t win

vestal wren
#

but also the raid design is not exactly good for assassination

uncut echo
#

I played like dogshit and gigatilted after being told to do more

strange python
#

I hate the wowhead raid tier lists they shit out on a weekly basis with a passion, looking at aggregates without context makes my brain hurt

little light
#

they have to farm clicks somehow, tho I suspect those posts aint that hot anymore

vestal wren
#

simialr to tier lists

#

as much as we say those metrics are not great, they work extremely well for clickbait / views

strange python
#

You had moonkin being perceived as like 2 tiers above everyone else just because they had one beneficial encounter skewing the overall, while at the same time being low on like 6 fights

#

Yeah itโ€™s traffic

#

Like one ptr update release they create 6 new posts, more clicks makes them more

little light
#

yeah the breaking down of things is why I barely check wowhead anymore its just convoluted

uncut echo
#

If y'all wanna tear apart my kurog feel free

to be fair i think the quality of posts on wowhead got better

so its not all bad

search engine optimization and similar def. make any of the bigger websites extremely appealing

uncut echo
#

Wowhead was unnavigatable for me

little light
#

quality maybe but the necessity of covering a quota of posts daily/weekly makes for a lot of uninteresting content

grim jay
#

The issue is mostly what people take away from the data they get presented

little light
#

its just filler

grim jay
#

Not the data itself

little light
#

sure, still bad :p

vestal wren
#

basically you want to have as much "news" as possible

little light
#

I understand why its done, but it eventually burns the audience which is the opposite of what you want

vestal wren
#

and there is a lot of "niche" things on wowhead i am happy get attention

#

i get what you say, good defaults and easy filtering is key

little light
#

I would say, just produce less content but more appealing

#

but that is uncompatible with the internet

Anyone know on mythic Raz how to avoid shadowstep from putting you behind the boss on the edge, it works like 95% of the time and every now and then it just decides to put me right behind her

Just avoid stepping while the boss is turning

Pretty much the only way

you could step a friendly target instead

you need to understand

vestal wren
slow marsh
magic vine
#

they're also nerfing the bow hard for bm

vestal wren
#

yes, but that eliminates the meme of blizz basing balance on overall statistics

magic vine
#

Weโ€™re changing the bow to have an equip effect that increases your auto-attack damage, rather than auto-attack speed. This auto-attack damage bonus will only affect you, the Hunter, and your own auto-shot damage โ€“ nothing from your pets will be increased from having this special bow.

slow marsh
#

i can't

rancid nimbus
#

outrageous...

royal lantern
#

like, math is allready done

magic vine
#

yea

royal lantern
#

for BM its a buff

keen spruce
#

idk why they waited until .7 to rework the bow when the AS buff to pets was a bug in the first place

#

maybe fix the box first then tune after susGe

#

like 3 hot fix cycles ago

#

post .7 hotfix "With the recent changes, we're noticing hunters are over performing in all content so we're just gonna have to revert a buff we did like 2 months ago because we didn't feel like fixing the bow back then"

magic vine
# royal lantern for BM its a buff

its still not that huge of a buff is all i'm saying.
like currently the bow is +12%, .7 bow is +2.2% and the overall buffs are +15%.

5% too much? yea they're already performing fine, its not really needed. surv getting ~3% and mm uh, ~2%

royal lantern

i mean

#

i would kill for a 5% overall buff lol

magic vine

same

move ct baseline, move ic to ct spot, make a talent similar to sun king's blessing for deathmark as the capstone there

white orchid
#

They need to make one of the FoK talents echoing blades lol and make CT baseline

royal lantern
#

even a new position would make it feel bad

slow marsh
#

CT baseline is bad

magic vine
#

throw away ttb, move ap up there, figure out something else for that capstone

gaunt moat
#

@royal lanternNah, they'll also change flying daggers to activate one *3 targets now. "hope you had fun weekend"

royal lantern
#

spriest has litearlly a BETTER bladeflurry

feral has a better IC as its 2nd talent point in the spec tree and multiple interactions with it

#

IC is so bad

#

its not even funny

#

if you meassure it against that stuff

#

straight up rework the entire aoe part, stop with % buffs

keen spruce
#

we dont' need to be AoE gods

royal lantern
#

get a idea what you want assa to do in aoe or cleave

keen spruce
#

but a few QoL options owuld be nice

royal lantern
keen spruce
#

i think CT baseline and moving some of the high commitment points higher up the tree would be enough

gaunt moat
#

I kinda wish i knew the reasoning behind the 45sec cooldown on IC
were they like: "We want to give assassination AoE capabilities... BUT NOT REALLY"

keen spruce
#

so we can still be good in ST with some cleave builds

slow marsh
#

Assa doesn't need AoE it needs cleave

keen spruce
#

like assas as a boss killer on tyran weeks would be fine

#

if they could just grab a few cleave/aoe talents

white orchid
#

Would be fine if it did any boss damage lol

keen spruce
#

without inting their single target

slow marsh
#

We are supposed to be the council spec and we haven't been for like however longn

keen spruce
#

well that's cuz our rupture doesn't do any damage

#

and PB is such a fuckin dice roll

magic vine
#

you don't need to be aoe gods, but if assa is about the dot spec you need the aoe version of the spec to play into that. which is sort of does, but just badly. and we've got multiple examples of other classes with shifting dots to aoe and like all of them are less shitty

slow marsh
#

It's more than that but yeah that is kind of the 1a

keen spruce
#

i mean even having PB proc on rupture again would help quite a bit with council fights

#

cuz you're really not envenoming enough to get value out of it in like 3-4 target

gaunt moat
#

My memory on how sin was during legion is foggy, since it was 6 years ago
but what made sin do well on cleave back then that we lost?
I know PB did a lot of damage.

keen spruce
#

PB was a lot stronger iirc

#

multi dotting was stronger

gaunt moat
#

why was multi dotting stronger?

magic vine
#

heck if you want to give it some ramp you could have something that makes every X evenoms spread dots or something

gaunt moat
#

comapretivly

keen spruce
#

i don't remember

slow marsh
#

Don't worry we'll get a mini rework in .1 copium

keen spruce
#

a shit ton of our power has moved into envenom

gaunt moat
#

you mean out of

#

envenom used to be stronger

storm onyx
#

VW dealt dmg back then? I am fuzzy

balmy condor
#

energy was also worth more from the multidotting

white orchid
#

Make PB a finisher lol that does extra damage per bleed on a targets lol.

royal lantern
#

more energy=more envenom=more pb procs, and pb did stupid dmg

balmy condor
#

if your spec is 40apm, and it goes to 55 in cleave

#

lot more impactful than going from 55 to 60

gaunt moat
#

yeah, i can understand that.
we've defintely became faster paced, so cleaving don't matter as much for that.

storm onyx
#

CT was uncapped

keen spruce
#

oh yeah PB used to be bag of dicks

balmy condor
#

also I wanna say deathmark is just crushing it for single target damage

#

so can't really tune dots as high

#

vend was like "do more damage lul"

#

but deathmark is crazy stronger, and crazy more interactions

#

more moving parts to tune

keen spruce
#

what was the proc rate on this

balmy condor
#

was okay

oak sky
#

thats just boring

#

zzz

balmy condor
#

not great though

frozen jasper

Iโ€˜d love a pb-like finisher and maybe another poison choice instead of amp that buffs bleeds instead of env

magic vine
#

get you something like for aoe burst

gaunt moat
#

Deathmark is stronger than 30% damage from everything?

keen spruce
#

is this baked in somewhere now SusNotes

#

or just gone

balmy condor
gaunt moat
#

well i'll trust you on that one, i wasn't there for the calculations.
didn't expect that to be the case

balmy condor
#

the math is pretty easy actually

#

30% damage buff for 20 seconds every 2 minutes

#

is 30% for 1/6th uptime

#

so a total of 5%

#

the damage from the duplication effects ALONE

#

are over 9%

#

that's not counting the extra damage from envenom due to doubled amp stacks, the extra lethal dose stacks, the extra energy you get from the ticks

#

the raw damage from the duplications themselves already double vendetta

ionic fox
#

Question, when deathmark doubles everything does it only double whats currently on the target and not interact with anything during the cd?

keen spruce
#

condensing damage amps into CDs gets extra value from pots and trinkets too

balmy condor
keen spruce
#

vs a completely flat dmg curve

gaunt moat
#

That's only true if you consider the damage throughput of the vendetta rogue to be equal throught that time, but you dump all CD on vendetta too.
But i get you

gaunt moat
keen spruce
#

oh yeah i didn't mean vs endetta specifically

#

i just mean when calculating the total % gain

#

unless that 30% is also including all of those damage amps

#

not that significant just sayin

ionic fox
#

Think sin will get any love for 10.7?

keen spruce
#

no

gaunt moat
