Luckily I have a 380 feral with 2pc,even more luckily I don't feel like playing the game
my is.. level 46 😆
Specs gotta be enjoyable to play first and foremost
that's my take
playing with 2 less talent points is not very enjoyable
Buddy never changing our class tree is not enjoyable
also being forced down a single buildpath cause they throw random nerfs out of the blue defies the purpose of this new talent system
lethality doesn't even proc on shadowstrike crits does it
nope
yet another bullshit
Or MA, couse Assa might get dance ….
dance in classtree is and has always been hot garbage
that was established in beta and is still confirmed
^^^
Should be baseline for sub and the 2nd dance point should belong to sub tree
right class tree wing full rework
i'm down for it
bad luck protection basically
like it does function on outlaw
Only because FW is god tier
^
I did some BGs with it and was fun, none expexts you to throw CS around, but pve ….
without FW you wouldnt take it
its really good for proc poverty
i think outlaw would be fine without it but
its definitely valid to like having bad luck protection on a luck based spec
but i do think guy is really hard headed about the fact that its a problem for sin and sub
anyone have any smart ideas on how I can double my aoe damage without losing single target on raz
thats the goal
If they had wanted Assa to care of class dance node, they would have made FW affect poisons or something spec isolated
then it wouldnt really be fw
Loot boon
doesn't help, boon is better on sub than sin to begin with
just L's
why is boon better on sub?
because puzzle box exists
so its the same, but box is worse on sub
Get 50 crit and pray for FoK crits?
100% pb proc rate
im late but god damn i love this
banned
I only saw whisp play outlaw on dragonflight prepatch ptr
it was on kurog or smth
and he was like WHERE THE F AM I GETTING ALL THESE CPs FROM?


I'm just gonna put numbers on it for the sake of argument, not the actual dps, but like if puzzle box is 10%, and grieftorch is 8%, you're gonna replace the grieftorch with a boon right.
But on sub, you got like incarnate icon or whatever, which is 6%, and grief is 8%, you're replacing the incarnate icon
so you're just straight up losing more for assassination equipping it
because you're losing bigger stuff in order to run it
i do get the concept, its just that boon itself is the same and i wanted to nag you 
I'm nagged enough that I just pressed n, sub, left click
and doubled my intermission damage

I didn't have kick on my stealth bars
just so we're aware
of how prepared I am
to play sub

Can't you just go sin and focus ST on the big ads that need to die
but did you see him play outlaw?
no because I need to also kick
and by the time I have the kick handled
and the dots up
the shield is already broken
I mean the ads arent insanely hard
sin damage will be insane on shields
on P2
and P3
sub damage on shields is good
In a 6+ target situation, should I dump cps into crimson over envenom even if the targets are very compact to all get hit by poison bombs?
in that situation you can do whatever you want
make sure ct is running tho
The dps is similar then?
yes
and then change specs cause wth
protest
I guess it's easier to just spam ct
aight well, you kill my intermission adds then
Have the sub rogue do it
that would be me
Is ur comp AOE or ST heavy? We have sub and sin rogue and are progging int and the sin rogue just goes full ST
yeah no shiot because you dont have a choice as sin lol
but it's 1 rogue
and I'm the rogue
and I play sin
and we struggle on intermission
and I swap sub for 3 pulls
do equal single target
and double the aoe dps
Could be just swap sub or swap someone else to sides. But yeah sub fucks on int
bm can do big intermission but costs alot of st
Do you guys still struggle when you swap to Sub
i heard shadow priest is getting a rework, they might be good for that fight
the rework comes out in 10.1
almost like it only takes 4 talent points for their aoe xd
still 3 more than sub
Sub aoe is 2 points
you dont play nado on rasz
imp storm
just wait until assass has an entire rework, and still plays the same
It plays a little different with the first dance
yeah you switch the order of 2 buttons
i need to do the trick i'm trying to drip sarcasm but text things
Because if you still struggle even after swapping to Sub then it doesnt matter sin or sub
just call them monkeys like I do and have them cry about it cause they still don't get it

they'll remove shiv from the spec, and we'd still just hit it on cd and not play around it
here's a question
IT IS.
(in 12.0)
how much do you think they need to buff shiv
in order for us to do more than press it on cd
i don't think shiv needs a change as much as the stuff around it needs to interact better
we just need more passives that give slight gameplay changes bro
sorry best I can do is 3rd shadowpriest rework
thats about it i think
in the same tier
this expansion?
start by baking in the bleed increase from AP as baseline
you know there's gonna be a guardian rework..
atleast guardian deserves one
and let it snapshot
thats just another passive effect that doesnt change anything
the attention spriest is getting makes no sense
some guy on the board probably doesnt enjoy current iteration
Wouldn’t change a thing about applying it on cd
i should really type all my thoughts in one post. but adding in the bleed increase and allowing snapshot should go together
Tigers fury?
literally
god no
most ideas people have just steal from feral or steal from sub
nobody actually wants a unique spec
they just want everything perceived as strong on one spec
our class identity is literally built around empowering a bleed wdym
Maybe if TTB wouldn't be a meme and increase nature damage further
TTB is supposed to be a meme
poisons are flavour text, bleeds is the class
hits harder, but still not close to blindside
i mean idk
we need something that gives us a actual rotation window. (kinda how we have now with our 4 min exsang bs) but on a shorter cd than 4 mins. or some method to allow us to control our damage profile
i would rather ttb do a houdini
oh like
kingsbane

what part of KB is a rotation other than saving shiv charges
what part of exsang is a rotation other than clipping bleeds
ER > rup > van + gar > exs > dm
you literally have a preparing sequence and cast order
Vendetta kinda used to be that. you wanted to push whatever damage into that window.
DM does it in a different way.
But basically DM is the "rotation window"
with exsang at least.
otherwise there's not too much to do in it
Dm would be more interesting if it had a variable cd, and based on the time on cd it lasts longer or something
but yeah outside exsang, it's basically a fire and forget spell outside of vanish garroting
reapplying poisons during deathmark extends deathmark by 0.2 seconds
KB would need to count for that too
full haste build 

probably makes haste not a mediocre stat yeah
maybe then we can lob like 10apm off the top
and tell people to get haste
so they can cope
that haste increases apm significantly
wins all around
Sure, if you also make WF a sin baseline 

99 problems with sin on the wall, 99 problems with sin, you take one down, you fix it around, 107 problems with sin on the wall


They have 4 more things to gut from pvp before they get around to it.
What about deathmark lasts for 20 seconds but instead of being a bleed it makes you deal more damage during the duration and instead of duplicating your bleeds it makes them tick faster
We could do like a 20% damage amp

what if it was 30%
suspicious vendetta+exsang combination mr badcoffee
You mean sepulcher of the first ones
Subtlety
if we are wilding on ideas
Blindside awards a free Mut and shaves X secs off DM+Vanish Cds
cdr 
If we are wilding on ideas - zoldyck makes us instantly kill the boss when it’s below 10% hp

Dont think Blizz wants to bestow a true execute to anyone
hi bois, wanted to ask - ive played outlaw till now, but for the last boss im gonna switch to assa or sub, so my Q is do you thing assa will be better, considering we only need boss dmg, since we have enough aoe for adds, esp how good assa is at last phase or stick to sub?
thx in advance
if you only need boss damage assassination is probably a better choice than sub
sub is good on shields and p1 intermission
and p2 intermission as well i suppose
thank you 🙏🏻
bold assumption thatyou will ahve enough aoe tho
and sin will net you better execution
is the assa / sub gear interchangable? cirs mastery on both or ?
mostly
cuz if so i can switch sub if we struggle on adds or smt
vers is a little worse on sin compared to sub and haste is a little better
but still crit mastery
its usually better to do otherway around, start sub and if youre somehow truly deleting i1 where you can swap and its not noticable
it is cit mastery mostly due to haste becomming worse in multi target
can be that haste has higher value in st than mastery
but I guess the next set of nerfs might delete the phase because other than boss hp not even sure what they can even nerf anymore
i guess ill optimize / recraft the gear for assa in mind then
but will have to ability to play sub either
you shouldnt have to recraft anything
crafted pieces will still be fine as crit mastery
i'm telling you, make DM like old monk ToD / Totm
i have like 7 crafted items for law - crit vers
oh right you came from outlaw
might be better as crit mastery then for sure
for both specs
assa / sub is pretty much identical stats, crit / mast assa, mast / crit sub
crit is always main stat for the spec
all 3 specs do want a high amount of crit first
i thought outlaw was vers
crit > vers ye
ah, that's true
subtlety: crit > mastery >= vers > haste
assassination: crit > mastery = haste > vers
outlaw: crit > vers > mastery > haste
but:
subtlety/outlaw: haste is rly bad
outlaw: mastery can be good but still seems to be fairly bad
assassination: even the worse stat is not extremely far behind
nothing needed
Wish outlaw was crit mastery as well 😢 so I wouldn't feel guilty playing it
you could sim it, mastery isn't a terrible stat
I feel like I am doing something wrong in my rotation, some small difference from what should be done and I am losing dps. Or rather, I cant push dps I should with my gear. On Terros I am doing 73-75k, isn’t that fight as close to a patchwerk as it can be?
And I am simming 89k
That difference is huge
I cant find out what, nothing I can think of
I should shiv into envenoms, right?
And always have Energy OR Tea for those situations
I also refresh Garrote+Rupture insta when Vanish/DM is ready
Post a log and someone will maybe have time to look at it
Hard to say anything without knowing how u press your buttons
this is not right
this is also not right
Was there a page for that, I think too many ppl were posting logs
this is also incorrect
whilst if they line up you do use it, you should not beholding for it
So I do wait for existing garrote+rupture to tick to their usual refresh timers and then refresh + DM?
you want to dm on cd, and you would probably refresh garrote, but there is no need to refresh rupture
I do refresh garrote with vanish I
But then rupture can go normally?
Ok, thats a thing
just dm when it comes up and refresh bleeds when they need to be refreshed
when vanish comes up instantly refresh garrote
just send shiv
shiv on cd always
its ok to try to preplan and have combo points going in
but if you don't you can just use it
Usually i delay for sec or two to make it be 5th or 6th cp
Y
And I feel not ok if shiv is used to spend on refreshing rupture
Link a log if you have
Will do
its totally fine to refresh rupture during shiv
its also ok for shiv to not be 5th or 6th cp
always better to use shiv so you don't end up losing casts by wasting time
A lot of the time I use shiv as a way to reach a low anima charged cp
yeah that works as well
I appreciate the help guys, I am aware I am doing small mistakes, mostly few of them which in summary ends up with me losing dps
This is one of the pools, dunno was it before opener changes
do you usually use puzzle there in opener? and yeah you should swap thsoe 2
I exsang before dm
Most likely I messed that up in the opener, I know it’s exsang 1st
i am unsure if it did, but you may have overwritten your garrote here
Oepenr is not a problem usually 😂, that was pure mistake I did and am a aware of it
yeah no worries with that
depends if vanish got ripped by a dot
One garrote on vanish is enough?
yeah you want to vanish then immediately garrote
no it's more cause of the time between the dot ticks from terros might have started your subterfuge early
I ALWAYS vanish 2 garrotes for 6cp into rupture and then DM
it's 3 seconds from vanish dissapearing not from the garrote
you only need to refresh right before exsang
or in pandemic
like theres no need to force refreshes
you vanish garrote whenever it comes up
And rupture when its needed
Ok
you can double garrote, like it is nice cp gen, but in that particular instance i think you would have lost the garrote buff for the second cast
but before exsang, you always want to garrote and rupture
Yes
There I also didnt align 2nd exsang on 4th min
i mean yeah
technically you miss a cast if you dont exsang on 3 mins though
so if you know you get another cast at 6 mins you can exsang+puzzle box
I use box before dm
also your deathmarks are coming up like really late
i think you actually lost a cast
So box after
a good rule of thumb is always exsang and puzzle box together and sync with dm
Yes, I was using it on 3min for a while and then Whispyr told me not to when we spoke here
you damage is loaded into dm and exsang, so you don't want to desync the time between them too much. your dot duration also directly effects exsang, so you dont want to puzzle inbetween dot applications and pressing deathmark
outside the cd stuff it doesnt look too bad though
you didnt lose any shiv or er casts as far as i can tell and your uptimes look good
To sum it up, for DM I do not refresh, just use it and then Vanish/Garrote when it comes up. Shiv whenever ready, even for hitting those ER combo points. Refresh for Exsang though. Puzzlebox AFTER DM, align 2nd Exsang with Vanish/DM on 4th min unless we will be fighting on 6th minute.
yep
I garrote/SND/garrote/rup/ER/rup
You don't sbs before cds?
granted i haven't done mythic, but on that one in a 4 min fight i did 82k
thats totally fine
think theres a sbs in there somewhere as well
sbs is after the last rup
but switching snd and rupture doesnt really change anything
yeah
thats it
your opener was fine besides the exsang
but i get it, it happens to everybody
Yes, that is a known mistake for that particular pull, most likelz I ended up in pillars and fat fingered or something 😂
especially on terros if you get a pillar during the opening
you're not doing bad dps considering you're not getting PI'd + that's a 6min kill
i use sbs more for cp gen, in that opener i env after the dm, then sbs
I need to target dummy entire afternoon, maybe I will even pug HC today
you want sbs up early initially for lethal dose
and its free damage
(but i'm jealous of your windfury totem uptime, my enhance shaman is always inspecting the floor)
Yes
Those are all minors
I can fonish the tier and not be the worst even like this
But I do want to play properly as much as I can ofc
i think if you hadnt exsanged your dm by mistake your dps would've been really competitive
4/5?
I am always 1st on boss dmg, even on diurna where I am doing the eggs
our st isn't the best out there but we're pretty near the top
Or on Dathea where I am doing those platforms
and when it comes to boss damage we just can't spec into aoe very well so we just end up not hitting adds while other classes spec for them which decreases their boss damage
thats why our boss damage looks good
i cope by filtering for boss damage on eranog
We last night killed diurna
It took us 9:05
I m on egg route but 9:05 is the 4 exsanguinates
Nah, Im stupid 😂
you'd only get 3 in still
With these explanations it will be much easier
so you always line up puzzle box and exsang with dm
Yes
Could be 4 😉
pretty much the only timers it would make sense to exsang between dms is 6 mins or 12 mins
Yes
4 mins too
Am I being too high to do math or...930 too?
You would just desync last tho I think
Unless it's like, literally 4 mins, you stay sync
I assumed that with 9:30ish fight you just desync em all
3:15 to 4:05 i would send it on cd
But yeah, 9:05 would mean boss dead with activ exsang or not even casted due to 1st be on 10ish seconds

All in all I want to thank you guys!
Err yeah I did math bad. I think you desync at 930 but could be wrong
we need to stay strong as a spec
Whispyr had mentioned that the value of syncing 3 was higher than the loss of a desynced cast
Really nice from you all to check and help like this!
But idk if any math was done
yeah its no trouble, a lot of us are happy to help anytime
make sure to come back if you have any questions later
Stay well and stay strong!
time to go pug heroic and chase 99's
Was about to say that I will surely come back, haha 😂
How does assassination go in next seasons dungeons? and how what trinkets are we looking to grab
we'll find out in like 3 months when the patch actually comes out
10.0.7 isn't even on live servers yet for another 2 weeks
trying to talk about 10.1 is a waste of time at this point
yeah we might even have patch notes by 10.1
Man can't wait for exsang to use vanish in 10.1
I was thrilled about the kick change, was great to see rogues getting some love and attention
what


This was cope
sounded more like a stroke
guys, how do you sync exsa and box with other cooldowns? or you dont sync it, you sync it in the opener and then you use them as they come by?
yeah but vanish and deathmark comes off 1 minute before the exsa/box, so you leave exsa/box up and wait for deathmark again?
np
I spoke to ppl this morning but forget to ask this…if I am copy/pasting opener, do I still wait for garrote/rupture to get into the refresh timers or I go for CD’s insta, as soon as they are up?
you can just send it
Good, ty
np
yes
should be alinged by default
er is 1min cd, exsang 3min
like, you use ER every 1min anyway, it alings by default without doing anything
Is ER rupture correct if its refreshed by non empowered combo?
Like, 5th or 6th CP
Or I use ER without already existing CP?
ER is 45 seconds
they don't align when you hold for 4 min
not sure I get the question
you can refresh them either way
ER combo points just count for 7cp
but the rules are all the same
just as if it's a 5cp rupture
or a 6cp
or any other cp
If I have 2-3 CP before ER it sometimes goes to 5-6 CP, ones that are not empowered
If I am right
If I use ER and then rupture with nonempowered CP is it okeish
Thats what I meant, IF you get me now
I mean yeah
If not then its good again 😂
Great!
so you kinda have to use a 5 or 6cp rupture
Less to think about
Whats the command to start a Log review thread again please? 🙂
doesn't exist anymore
oh. fair enough 😄
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/

lol
my brain cant handle that information
it just so happens that 45 seconds lined up with 45 second exsang
and 3 minutes
is 45*4
so it still lined up
but now we hold for 4 min
and 4 min doesn't line up
cause 4 min isn't 45*5

Long and short of it is I missed a vanish and a deathmark I think :D. Still doesn't explain my dps is so low >.<
7% energy wastage as well. Looking at the rest though, it doesn't look like i deserve a 14% parse :D. Improved on last week though, so thats something
can you send the wowa link
I'll take a peak if it's missing something
I need to practice my opener more, and move my vanish binding, I know that much, always struggle to find it whilst running around for the first awakened earth
yikes that is some gear
Yeh I know :D. Working on that too lol
I guess on that statistics page, the DPS Percentage, is that percentage of theretical maximum?
theoretical *
have you heard of my friend mythic plus
I was pretty late getting started tbh, and only recently started doing 20s, then got sick for a couple of weeks, so my playtime went down a lot!
damn, but craft yoself a dagger mans
this is a sub-optimal opener technically, would try to start avoiding it unless you really need the timing
you also really should tea way earlier in deathmark
you also didn't pandemic your rupture before the next exsang
that's an issue
Thats a mistake on my part, I was messing with my macros this week, and forgot that thistle tea wasn't jsut energy. Been trying to avoid wasting energy with it, forgetting that it also increases mastery
but I think this mostly comes down to just kinda horrid gear and some misplaced cooldowns
I think the echoing reprimands you missed are of far greater concern than the couple of oddities in your deathmark windows
can i raid with your guild, i need to find a mythic community so i don't have to leave my social guild
(also should really work on getting that energy waste down, I know it says it's okay, but "okay" means not great)
the fuck is at
he means the word at
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
in the example given, you can refresh at any point from 0 to 5.4 remaining on the garrote
and it's dps neutral
the only place it matters is for exsang, where you want to max it out regardless
you can't gain uptime by any option
Thanks a lot Whispyr :). Honestly, wow analyzer being updated is huge, + your review, I know what UI changes I need to make to help focus on the bits im missing 🙂
so vanish -> garrote will give you 23.4 second garrote
that's the juice for exsang
otherwise any time in pandemic
lel. i know ilvl parses are wank and sin is bad on kurog but damn man. also this is wipe so it's duff info anyway just found it funny
np
And what are exact pandemic numbers?
^
Maybe my luxthos is outdated, will check that up
luxthos one should start glowing
It does
Great
as long as you don't let it drop
sub optimal you can just assume like 7 seconds for rupture refresh, obviously it changes based on the cp you have'
yeh
I could/should squeeze some envenoms during pandemic if I know I will be able to refresh before it drops
no reason to do that, may as well refresh and do them after
When empowered garrote do you refresh in pandemic window or let it drop?
I mean it's also not really a gain
you're not risking for any benefit
if you have an 18 second garrote
and you don't want to refresh at 4 seconds because you can envenom and then refresh at 1
you get a 19 second garrote, and an envenom
versus if you just refresh at 4, you get a 22 second garrote
then you envenom
and you're at 19 as well
it's the same result
you just swapped the casts
there is a few cases where you could consider "risking" it, but that would be something like you are in pandemic at max cp etc
empowered dots you let drop
thank you kindly
in opener you can pandemic your stealth garrote with a vanish garrote
if you're not running exsang
cause empower -> empower is fine
but if you're running exsang, you would overwrite the exsang
you basically should never overwrite any dot with a dot of a lower quality
that being exsang > imp gar > regular
so exsang'd gar -> vanish gar is no good
stealth gar no exsang -> vanish gar is fine
vanish gar -> regular gar is no good
regular gar -> regular gar obviously fine
and going the other way you would ignore pandemic
so regular gar -> imp gar is fine regardless of time remaining, cause you're empowering the cast
so for pandemic purposes, you only pandemic with something equal or lower in the list, and when you have something higher in the list available, you ignore the pandemics
what to buy for dinner on a friday night from uber eats
we going with red rooster, all you deal with not knowing what that is
So i dont wanna refresh at exact pandemic times, what about if exsang gar is in its Last second and i slam vanish gar on top? Big differnce to Letting the first gar run out and then vanish gar?
Don't look at it, because it was awful. But I tried Primal Council as Sin this week too (usually switch to outlaw), I guess our priority is just maintaing garrote, rupture and crimson on all bosses?
if the exsang gar is in the last second you're overwriting it but it's whatever, you're fucking yourself out of like 0.4 ticks, who cares
i slapp AP for that
but also do a flat 20k more just by pressing and selecting sub
our biggest issue with Council, is we are quite a melee heavy group, and all our players appear to be on drugs or something, so I am constantly getting hit by the bloody debuff >.<
unironically sub will help alot with that
hug the pillars 
you can float much further
Aight, but with gcd and stuff sometimes u have a second or two without running gar at all (at least thats my experience with letting it run completely and hitting other buttons at the Time) so wouldnt that be More of a loss than the 0.4 Ticks?
exsang does 80% more right, so multiply your tick rate by 1.8 and that's how long you have to reapply
We’re talking about differences in dps nearing single digits
Yeah i know was Just curious whats optimal in a realistic scenario
I would assume clipping the exsang
But the sims aren’t accurate to know
So how should I
what if pandemic worked like ignite
Then we would do nothing but cast rupture for 5 minutes straight
i mean the implementation would gimp extended empowered garrotes, but you could limit to only working like ignite if it is inside pandemic range
inside last 30% add the damage to the next duration
accomplishes same goal and you don't have to let them drop off if empowered
What would the point be
Wouldn't it be more punishing? If you reaply dots earlier you will loose that damage
You would just eliminate pandemic
And force refreshes at exactly pandemic
So instead of people not understanding pandemic and losing a bit of damage by trying to refresh at 0 and dropping their dots for a second or two
You now ensure that everyone is losing a significant portion of their damage
why would it force refresh at pandemic timer
By not refreshing garrote at 5.4
Because you suggested that you limit it to ignite in pandemic range
Ignite is a rolling dot
The closer to the refresh limit you reapply
The more ticks you get
Pandemic serves to smooth the rotation by giving you dps neutrality within a couple seconds of refreshing
true cause you'd be condensing the casts
Your suggestion is strictly MORE ticks
You would get 5.4 seconds of free garrote damage
Every time you cast it
just wondering now that i realise that, is there a way to preserve the empower in a pandemic refresh that doesn't make you do that
Sure
outside of making an empowered garrote have 2 debuffs, one at 100% and then on at the empower %
You turn improved garrote into a buff that increases garrote damage for X seconds
and only pandemic the 100%
Rather than snapshotting the bleed
So when you refresh
The buff stays
And buffs the new one
The alternative would be the same thing but less clear
Where refreshing with a normal garrote adds the empowerment damage to the new dot
So you would have to check if the current dot is stronger than the new dot
Calculate the difference
Then add that difference to the new dot
For x seconds
But it wouldn’t solve the issue of the partial tick, which is a whole can of worms I don’t wanna get into
So for the sake of argument
Turn into character buff instead of ability snapshot
And Bingo you got yourself a damage pandemic
And also an aoe buff
Two birds one stone
i don't know what to say, that sounds good
Also, just garrote can be empowered?
Welcome to the church of snapshot bad
Well you can exsanguinate rupture
But aside from that
Nothing to be done to it
When talking about pandemic and empowerments it’s just a lot easier and more thorough to talk about garrote
And then apply the concept back to rupture
Cause rupture you got variable durations and those all have their own pandemic
And garrote has exsang, but also imp gar
So if you can understand garrote and how pandemic works with that and exsang/imp gar
Rupture is basically already solved
I was doing bad mistakes up until today
I was always refreshing all dots before DM, no matter how long they were before that
your uptimes were great though XD
why before dm. exan would be understandable
Was doing so by vanish/ 2x garrote / rupture
I mean, technically correct if you were to say exsang and not dm :P
Dm isn’t the issue, exsang is
Yes
For exsang I wold also do that but I also think I was delaying DM for Exsang on 3rd min for some time 😂

This morning community here explained me alot of stuff
Im good now, I know much more
In theory atleast
Holding cds is a universal concept people suck at to be fair
It’s a super common mistake
Switching and changing everything I was doing was chaotic each time I was doing it, im a key spammer so often did I fail 😂
But it will now be better
btw, fix for kb, maybe, remove the poison from increasing the dmg of it, make bleed ticks increase the dmg instead, but for a lower amount, say 8% per hit, and then remove it from the dtb capstone? that way, it would be easier to balance, since bleed ticks are not random like poison procs, dtb would not overpower it, and dm would actually feel great to stack with kb, due to double tics of the bleeds
that would take away the already limited interraction we have when pressing it though
would scale consistent tho
but it's not the issue with the spec, our damage etc is fine, it's rotational divergent we lack
big power infusion kb
well I was specifically talking about dead talent on the tree, not rotational divergency, but I get your point
sure it will make kb picked, but the only difference it makes is between pressing kb or talenting dtb
and it would only promote exsang further, and we dont want that XD
well , I don't mind exang 😄
Or
Real novel idea
Just take kingsbane number
And make bigger
They have 3 numbers to pick from
there's that too 😄
dathea prog 🙂
i guess the scale is the best one to go for
But yeh
reward chaining env in kb
Idk why they can’t do it
Would reducing exsanguinate cd to 2 min help the spec?
my sweet summer child
If by help the spec you mean make it do bonkers dps
Sure yeah
Most of the channel would rather die than have to play that rotation
But it would do damage
Well yeah with compensation on exsang strength, so like 50% faster dots
You would need to bring exsang down to 20% 2 min if you want the same balance as now
i think it would. it's one thing I don't understand. why not make it less strong in terms of the speed of tics, but make it 2 min
We ran the numbers when they first nerfed it
gotcha, CD increased by 50%
delete exsang already
i'd still prefer it that way 😄
what is taking so long
I’m pretty sure this is a diagnosable illness
if it is, it's the third one
All good things come in threes
except exan cd
Exsang can come in threes
As long as it goes from this reality first
And then comes to a different reality
Where I don’t exist
That would be okay with me

Alternate universe artanaro gets to play exsang
And current universe whispyr doesn’t have to be suicidal
Double win

sure, remove exan, I'm fine with it. but playing a 3m cd exan is just crap. either remove it, or lower the cd. this is the worst of all
No one understand snapshot
what if, exsang was a buff on you, that made all dots tick faster while active reducing their duration appropriately, kinda like how shifting power works for mages for their cd's. and that way you don't have to worry about overwriting stuff
Yeh well, it’s gotta be like this to maintain the gameplay while also maintaining a semblance of balance
I don’t like the 3 min cd either
put kb in exan position, make bleed ticks increase dmg so dtb is not op, cool
But ain’t no way you can do anything else the way it interacts
Exsang at 2 minutes is simply too powerful
while at it, remove the damn ma as well, since just reading the talent makes me stand on same window as whispyr playing exan
And exsang at less than that will just either turn into 2 min or be stronger

Ma is cringe
assa needs a passive ability similar to plaguebringer
30% lmao
didn't it used to be 100%?
Yeah, it used to be a 5 second 100% legendary
is it additive or multiplicative
Additive
that's not that bad
it got similar treatment as exan, nerf after nerf after nerf, only to become a meme
It’s pretty fucking bad
it could have been multiplicative
Yeah it also could’ve been the lint stuck to the bottom of my balls
Doesn’t mean it’s good
buff it to 60% and it's essentially 100
What if they replace exang with a passive that every time you envenom, you exang your dots for 2 sec
Yeah and it would still suck
it would make it better, and it would still be shit
Very based take
Sinister calling
just remove it. we don't want it. put it on sub
This is the way
why even give it to the spec with the least benefit from it 😄
I propose a trade
Sub gets ma
We get replicating shadows
All is right in the world
can we give them crimson tempest and take secret technique too?
I do actually want replicating shadows
It might miss
i would pay some money for this
You have to do some pozzed positioning to optimize it
Okay and?
i guess the thought is, sub spends little time applying bleeds so lets let them get them out faster than the multi dot spec
and that leads to, ay yo wtf why this non bleed class better at applying dots yo
Yeah except blizzard also forgot about rupture damage
And suddenly sub rupture does more damage
While also duplicating
rupture is a wet noodle if there ever was one
Because that makes sense
give sub back nightblade and watch the world burn
i did laugh a bit about it, when I've seen it the first time, but I was sad at the same time
But whispyr, you actually have to play to optimize your spells 
I will never for the life of me understand how we ended up with sub rupture doing noticeably higher damage than sin rupture, and getting an easier time applying it as well
Remember the good old days of “sub generates more combo points so they can apply rupture better”
@dark token i mean, i know what you mean, but saying "you dont want rep shadows, you need to move a bit for your bleed spread" is kinda a croocked take
assa would kill for any form of more easy multidotting lol
something about 90% mastery
And not “sub gets 2 ruptures for every rupture”
finisher spec, rupture is a finisher

I felt my blood pressure rise in real time
it's like all of the sudden giving the dot spread from unholy to frost.
just make frost do it. why not
Yeah but it’s cold damage and that’s better so it does more damage
Ive never had that bad of a secondhand tilt before
what if, envenom worked like pennance and purge the wicked
Sub rupture is shadow now, so it does spooky damage, and spooky damage is special, so sub can do more spooky damage, and rupture can do spooky damage so make the number really big

you mean spreading dots when you envenom? @oak tangle
it's gengar dmg, and gengar is the best pokemon
this is the only logic that could make sense
gengar is bis
Damn do you work for blizzard
I can’t even come up with a rebuttal to such bulletproof logic
gengar has levitate doesnt it
not anymore
fucking zoomers
levitate was broken on it
i know, right

Gengardium leviosa
That might be the most nerd shit I’ve ever said i apologize for the cringe
there is a rebuttal though, why is sp/lock not gengar dmg too? only time you can do gengar dmg, is if you're melee?
make envenom spread dot to another target, and make IC make the next envenom spread dot to all 8 nearby targets
bruh, it was removed in Gen6
thats over 10years
Sp is spooky damage no?
well i played pokemon 24 years ago
Brother what
You played Pokémon before I was alive
it should be

i remembered it was like 98 in europe
damn son, you young.
i mean you're atleast born in the same decade as me, but i'm not even 30 yet and i feel old
but that's nice. you're still 90's
I am your little sister
stuck in the washing machine?
;D
Every week it seems
those are really tricky, not easy to deal with them
How do you get stuck in a top loader
that's just propaganda to get more men to do the washing
It’s where you load it, from the top
front loader is more water efficient
Also true
Zoomer
You got your dog in the game do not speak to me
Jealous?
Wish i was your dog
Wish you were my mount :/
Bro?

Yeah bro?

This dude has strep throat for like 3 weeks now
Swear to god
Throat hurty one time, makes it his whole personality
Strep throat has been done wtf
Banning you for inaccurate name

you didnt knew....?
May I upload here my dummy log just to see did I understand what we spoke about this morning?
Post a link*
For sure, no worries
On 2nd DM I know I refreshed rupture that was one 12 seconds left :/
Is refreshing rupture with ER chargesoutside of the opener a dps loss? Should I be using those chargers on envenom only?
