uncut echo
#

No they dont

#

Hit button do dot

#

That's not a different design

vestal wren
#

there are more damage amping talents that affect rupture on subtlety

uncut echo
#

Yeah

#

And that's unbelievably dumb

vestal wren
#

also assassination has energy regeneration bound to it, so it isn't exactly doing the same thing for both specs

silk bane
# uncut echo And that's unbelievably dumb

not really though, sub as a spec works around amplifying your main finishers by a lot of things you stack on top of each other. rupture being now shadow thanks to dark brew + dark brews extra shadow damage, and all the shadow damage amplifiers, and sub's own mastery + finality + all the rupture ticks during dance amplifiers and symbol amplifiers, it ads up

uncut echo
#

I feel that's an ineffective excuse as to why the strength of the dot in the dot spec is weaker than the combo spec.

thorn fjord
#

GIVE US PB PROC OFF RUPTURE AGAIN YOU FUCKING COWARDS

uncut echo
vestal wren
#

its just tuning

uncut echo
#

Yeah

vestal wren
#

and design

uncut echo
#

And I think the tuning bad

#

Is all I'm saying.

vestal wren
#

if you had more emphasize on rupture in talents it would deal significantly more

Basic and boring are subjective.

thorn fjord
#

Some of us like spinning plates tyvm

vestal wren
#

i just think it is easy to just focus on one thing alone

#

it can lead to wrong conclusions

#

e.g. i did read "rupture does bad damage, and out mastery is literally about rupture damage"

silk bane
# uncut echo Its isn't bad, it's just not bis. Some of us like it a lot.

hmm idk, to me sin is just buttons u send on cd. almost non of them interact with the rest of your kit, u just send them. theres no expression of skill, theres a very low skill floor and skill ceiling. idk, I think if you had to put in thought about your future gcds in advance (like you used to) it woulda been better, but as it is now, its just buttons u send on cd without any thought, buttons that do not interact with anything and just exist so that u have to press them

vestal wren
#

when in reality, you have a lot of poison/bleed damage from other sources

signal badger
#

I’d love a new talent that gives us an on use giga poison bomb on a 30second cd call it like poison mist or something

silk bane
thorn fjord
#

Felt better at the start of DF than it does now

#

And felt even better during pre patch

#

But its still send on CD

#

Id prefer the send on CD gameplay over having to pull energy like we used to

silk bane
# thorn fjord Felt better at the start of DF than it does now

i think KIR woulda been a better playstyle. HO was fun when it was new but once you start playing it, it gets bad really really fast. atleast for me. I was a 'rogue' player loved all 3 specs, but right now I kinda am a sub one trick who sometimes plays sin for fun.

vestal wren
#

ironically, if you doubled the damage of rupture, you would make assassination best in all simulation styles

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

beating sub/outlaw noticable

royal lantern
#

sub didnt for some time and Sometimes hold a bit, but even sub is just sending now lol

silk bane
#

maybe i expect too much from sin but idk It just feels like in its core its too simple and barebone of a spec with a bunch of buttons added to it to make it more 'interesting'

vestal wren
vestal wren
thorn fjord
#

Its tuning

#

100%

#

The class still plays within the realm it always has

vestal wren
#

i mean obv. talent trees are for like all specs still not perfect or not even close to

thorn fjord
#

Since i can rememeber

#

They need to fiddle with some of the numbers

#

And we'll be gucci

#

Plz lord dont have me main DK next tier 😩

vestal wren
#

sin being week in aoe is def. a consequence of design, but could also be corrected with tuning

thorn fjord
#

But like we've always had this "issue"

#

The Aoe argument is old and tired for Sin imo

#

But i get that people dont want to be forced to play other specs on account of ease and playability

vestal wren
#

tbh it was mostly sub that did no aoe at all

#

BP didn't even fix that initially

thorn fjord
#

Yeah and look what BP did

vestal wren
#

they needed to buff BP to "fix" it

thorn fjord
#

Still before BP it felt awful doing packs as sub lol

#

Storm to evis storm to evis

#

You kinda cry a little inside

vestal wren
#

it was fine with shuriken combo because you did compensate

thorn fjord
#

It didnt feel fine imo

silk bane
# vestal wren is there actually a problem in design or tuning?

I think tuning would just be hiding the design flaws. Atleast with Ret they said yeah spec does decent damage but man it sucks so we're gonna fix it. increasing rupture damage would fix sin's aoe and make it's st really good but i think thats just putting makeup on the spec

oak tangle
#

i can't tell if we're overreacting or if stockholm syndrome has got me good. but in the patch where sin has somewhat good aoe damage for once and we're acting as if it's so bad. like previous xpacs i wouldn't have dreamt of being able to do a decent level key

vestal wren
#

not just "make it good in st"

oak tangle
#

i know the main issue is the sacrifices to select between aoe and st

vestal wren
#

most specs are designed like that

#

its just that outlaw is a outliner with BF

#

and subtelty happens to have more talents that work well for both

oak tangle
#

the SP rework is interesting in that regard

silk bane
# vestal wren it would put sin noticable ahead of the other 2 specs in any given situation

its kind of weird, like the other specs have these moments where the spec feels really fun, like old OL you get a few really good rolls and the spec feels amazing! its fun its smooth its great, sub has its own moments, sin is kinda just flat - excitement wise- atleast thats for me others could like it! I understand it could be preference. theres no real interactions that make moments in the spec feel amazing! its all just ah i keep my dots up and keep envenom buff up and im chilling

formal ore
#

what

#

for me the only fun spec is sin

oak tangle
#

it's a fundamental interraction with the spec and how you percieve fun from it imo

formal ore
#

sub feels shit af to play

#

and outlaw weird af

silk bane
#

I know thats why I said preference!

vestal wren
#

i think all 3 have areas that feel good and some that don't

oak tangle
#

sin for me is the plate spinning, it's the ramping into damage. it's the allowing you to float and do mechanics without being penalised so much

formal ore
#

and also having to keep an eye on your dots is more fun than just waiting for dance to go off cd

#

makes me not wanna sleep while playing

vestal wren
#

its diffrent in design

silk bane
vestal wren
#

not everything appeals to everyone, and thats fine

oak tangle
#

i recommend you try a exsanguinated ramped raz shield

#

with lust and sub 35%

formal ore
#

u just melt everyone at the same time

silk bane
#

Idk I think if envenom was a devouring plague like bleed where you could stack it, it would make the spec a lot better, it would fix parts of its issues. a short living heavy hitting bleed. like you could stack envenom bleeds in ST and that would be your ST damage, in cleave u would spread it and try to keep it up since its your finisher idk that would be more exciting to me and I think would be easier to balance around. you could still maintain prio damage in mutli target cleave it would be interesting. you could make choices idk

silk bane
oak tangle
#

the problem with sin, is we have basically no inherent aoe. crimson tempest and fok are those. so in order to do aoe at the moment alot of it is tied directly to our single target abilities. so to buff aoe you'd have to buff st and that has it's own issues.

#

we also do not have the cp generation to use envenom like that

silk bane
silk bane
thorn fjord
#

Spreading dot via cleave and such

oak tangle
#

my idea for aoe, is kinda like that. in that we should build up stacks of something on targets hit by fok, and we have a finisher to consume those stacks to deal damage to all targets that had stacks on them. kinda like bone spike is in ST

silk bane
thorn fjord
#

I’m not a fan personally

oak tangle
#

the loop would be fok to generate while we apply ruptures and garrotes, and once you have a pack ruptured, you pop the fok stacks

silk bane
#

i mean like if envenom was say a 6-8 second heavy hitting bleed tht you could stack, and you had a way of spreading it. like every target that you spread the bleed to, it reduces its remaining time by 0.5 sec or 1 sec or something. then your goal was in ST would be to maintain as high of a stack as u can, and in aoe you would like maintain a high enough stack btu try to spread it while keeping it up on the prio target or something

#

idk theres so many thigns u can do

#

w/e it's all cope though. theyre gonna buff CT and call it a day

oak tangle
#

that is poison bomb

oak sky
#

Actually theyre gonna do nothing

silk bane
# oak tangle that is poison bomb

no its very different, its more like a stackable Devouring Plague that you could spread but spreading it would reduce its uptime duration.

oak tangle
#

we already have envenom to cleave damage

#

another idea i had, is along the lines of storing some of the dot damage we do, and giving us a way to discharge that. if you've played poe kinda like how plague bearer works

silk bane
#

honestly anything is better than it is now. I just dont like envenom as the main finisher of the spec and having PB tied to it.

thorn fjord
#

Env has always been our main finisher

#

Wut?

oak tangle
#

don't mistake this comment for hating or not liking how it is, but it's kinda cringe that our top damaging ability is a generator

silk bane
runic hinge
#

Bleed based finisher like rupture? Or like CT? How many finishers do we need

thorn fjord
#

I hated using CT in ST and do not want to go back to that

oak tangle
#

we just need a ct rework

silk bane
#

I was thinking a finisher like Devouring from Spriest, short living, hard hitting, stackable thats all

oak tangle
#

it is too similar to envenom

#

and envenom is fine

#

they aint gonna remove envenom, dispatch, eviscerate

silk bane
#

its all cope tbh no real point other than just fan fiction hehe

#

a better type of cope would be coping about trinkets netx tier

oak tangle
#

yeah, i mean it's fun to come up with ideas

#

i was just thinking now with an idea that if we have x number of dots on a target, hitting envenom on them could cause them to radiate damage from the dots exploding or something. would have zero effect on ST and could allow priority focus into cleaving

#

still kinda poison bomb like

#

so probs too similar

formal ore
#

they could just buff poison bomb proc rate and u get that actually

silk bane
silk bane
formal ore
#

but for me the spec feels good the way it works, rearranging the talents and tuning it a lil bit would be good enough

oak tangle
#

the only thing i can see why they'd do that is to stop us from having easy access to aoe while tunnelling a target, but the shadow priest rework is literally that on brand

#

they've essentially got and on / off switch for cleave on their tree

formal ore
#

i dont like the spriest playstyle right now

#

its kinda weird

silk bane
#

Eh no cope I think theyre gonna have to redo big chunks of sin tree. you lose way too much st to do aoe and youre not gonna be doing either of them remotely well. thats something they got wrong with multiple specs with the new talent tree design and hopefully theyre gonna fix it

oak sky
oak tangle
#

no even easier

#

the toggle is on or off on tree, they dont have to press flurrry XD

oak sky
#

The gameplay model is the same as outlaw

silk bane
#

I think this was why initial tuning of the raid was so off too. like they assumed RWF people would bring giga chad AOE people for ads and gigachad ST for boss and isntead they brought only specs that could do both but then the tuning was off because they were not doing enough of either.

#

so they'll probably fix it copium

oak tangle
#

nah it was worse than that

#

they assumed max aoe and max st at same time

thorn fjord
#

@oak sky

oak tangle
#

there is a interview with jeath and morgan day talking about it. where they owned up to the tuning, and basically said that was the issue. and jokingly the wow dev said it would have been fine had we been bale to change talents mid fight

neon kindle
#

Wish Sin was the burst spec and sub was the sustain spec

oak tangle
#

unironically agree but probably for different reasons

vestal wren
#

subtlety is designed to be bursty, but the burst is fairly low

#

assassination has stronger burst

oak tangle
#

i think that all they need is to swap the spec names between sin and sub. because subtlety imo fits the theme of assas and vice versa

vestal wren
#

i don't think so

silk bane
#

I dont think so either tbh

neon kindle
oak tangle
#

assassins are quick in and quick out from shadows to execute

vestal wren
#

assassination has a lot of bleeds/poisons

vapid sierra
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
vestal wren
#

subtlety is very limited with only rupture

vapid sierra
#

sub has lethal poision too exsangery

neon kindle
# vestal wren ironically it is

yea, im aware of the deathmark exsang window high damage. But its more reliant on that burst reliability being from dots. rather than high damage spenders.

oak tangle
#

poison to me screams more subtle to me

vestal wren
#

subtlety does mostly shadow damage

formal ore
neon kindle
oak tangle
#

idk, i reckon an assassin comes from the shadows

#

i also don't think long prolonged dots is a very good sign of an assassin

vestal wren
#

assassination (re-colored bleeds)

formal ore
#

geting a cut and dying 2 hours later fits the theme of assassination for me

oak tangle
#

look i'll give you this, i don't think assassins playstyle is as subtle, as i think subtlety's playstyle is an assassin

formal ore
#

ok then

#

agree to disagree

vestal wren
#

i am not sure where the theme fits outside of "it also has rupture"

oak tangle
#

talking lore wise, maybe i play too much assassins creed, but them guys come in kill you and f off

formal ore
#

for me lillian voss screams subtetly

#

its atacking from the shadows and thats it

oak tangle
#

i feel like a proper assassin when i poison the first boss of CoS's drink

#

lol

royal lantern
#

cus thats 90% of lillians actions kekdog

ability wise

#

but oh boy how dirty they did her is unfair

#

she was so op in the beginning

#

Quick and easy question, rupture exanguinate. Next rupture during pandemic or last sec?

oak tangle
#

after it drops off

#

ideally as it drops off

#

but not before

Was there any update on the exsang rework? I know they said they were going to revisit it in the future but couldn't see if there was anything planned for 10.1?

Just imagine how Assa would be BIG if we had these bonuses in our new set:
2pc: Your envenom gives you an additional 1 second of Slice and Dice per combo spend.
4pc: Every time you hit at least 6 targets with your Fan of Knives, you receive minimum 2 combo points.

oak sky

Best tier set of all time for sure

Tbh I think the reason why we aren't getting any rework is that all of the bosses will(should) be ST in the new raid! copium

Sub is gonna love playing the rotten next tier

pseudo hamlet
#

Next patch will fix it!

gusty mirage
#

true

#

it's just the first build guys!

#

big things coming that's why it's so empty for rogue

#

meanwhile spriest is getting its 2nd rework of the expac

#

hell it's 2nd rework in the last 30 days at that

#

meanwhile ret got nerfed already on ptr

#

poor ret pallies man

oak sky
#

Im pretty sure priest plays worse with this tho

#

Thats the funny part

gusty mirage
#

I mean wheter its an improvement or not

#

is kinda irrelevant

#

they apparently have the man power to rework one singular spec

3 times

Isn't optimal before both lol to exsang a full mastery rupture

thorn fjord

really not much of a difference

@balmy condor Mentioned its just better to use before DM

#

More value from DM than the Exsang rupture

nocturne current

I don't see any reason not to do it before.

You still have full box for dm

Its a slight difference dude im just telling you what ive seen

I use after ER

#

But Whispyr uses after exsang

Because its SLIGHTLY optimal

balmy condor

first one with cds according to the opener image, the rest for energy

yea just the one

balmy condor

timing doesn't matter much as long as you get the energy

first one's just to get the cooldown going

then sub rogue in history shouldve been the best single target class since it didn't have aoe

now if we talk if that is how they "Should" balance the game

fuck no

but i do think its cool af to have classes fit into specific roles, just not when it comes to extremes where the class just becomes useless and dead weight

just be mage and geat aura buffs until its enough

Honestly, I don't even care if i get PI or not, just like.. if they'd literally gave it to ANYONE. 7 missed PIs is substantial loss.

must be a prerequisite for mythic priests to forget how to use PI

Yeah someone else told me he'll give them one

cause RL don't care.

hope he'll care when it's a 1% wipe

we had multiple 2% wipes on brood before kill

oak tangle

bruhhhh

gaunt moat
#

I brought it up. i was told "PI is not our issue, we have bigger issues"
and so, it was ignored.

oak tangle
#

i had this argument with some random shaman in a aotc raz pug, where he didnt take / use windfury. we had a 2% wipe and i explained to him that with windfury i alone would have done the missing percent more hp

#

his response was "good for you"

gaunt moat
#

If it's just one random person, so be it. but when RL don't care, it's an issue.

oak tangle

yah

i'm honestly considering maining spriest next tier

to piss off other dps? 😛

oak tangle

haha, nah so i can have a rework

gaunt moat
#

You're gonna miss our 5% buff copium

oak tangle
#

nah i've always wanted to try a caster, and spriest just feels the least punishing

#

i'll likely still play rogue, probs as a m+ alt or something, and i want the tier gear that looks cool

#

i say this, 1 week into patch i'll probs hard swap back to rogue like i did this tier

On the brood with no PIs, I was also missing Battleshout for 50% of the fight Cring

When are they gonna make buffs just auras

feral mason
#

From what I saw spriest on ptr was the most doomer shit ever

#

Priests from my guild were complaining like some hoes about it anyway

oak tangle

the complaints i saw were about movement, and that shadow crash doesn't apply enough dots often enough, but like i'm used to assassin and having to multi dot so not sure why they madge about having to swap

how much of a effective hp nerf is the shield nerf?

24mil less shield dmg on 1st and 2nd shield, but youre doing 200% more dmg with buff

does the buff end when shield is gone?

ofc

steel ridge
#

suprised theres no 5% hp overall nerf or something

drifting cloud
#

the dps check on the boss is already pretty chill

steel ridge
#

not for my guild apparently

#

80 pulls in, still wiping on p1 check 50% of the time

soft cape
#

Well it's the extra damage you gain over 1st and 2nd shield since the end of that cast is a set timer, right?

80 pulls is NOT a lot btw

@drifting cloud guildie posts a video of BM hunter's Dathea in discord. Then I see you're in it 😂

(Also, how are you keeping above 80k on dathea. I'm so much lower)

subtle tundra
#

you get gear and do dps

quasi pine
#

quick question, isnt master assassin a good thing in m+ for the fortified weeks (instead of exang)

woeful meteor
#

Dathea is basically a full ST fight with some extra dmg from dotting the infuser hitting 80k shouldnt be to hard with decent gear and a somewhat clean pull

quasi pine
#

I'm using exsang for tyrranical and MA for fortified for the moment

subtle tundra

i have used ma everywhere

mmmh

exsang is a headache

no thanksies

I might try ma next week

its not like it changes your gameplay lol

not a lot tbh yeah but idk if i'll loose or win dps, and in wich situation wich one is better

you wont notice it

it will just remove a headache

#

Love exang but hope for a good rework

#

(average exang fan)

subtle tundra
#

make MA 100% so there's no choice

#

maybe still exsang in ST

#

but not in m+

#

and the exsang lovers can still play it(even though i dont care about them)

gaunt moat
#

You're talking as if sin is ever gonna get changes peepo

quasi pine

Maybe after a few more shadow priests reworks

They'll rework exang for 10.1 I swear COPIUM

subtle tundra

after they made exsang 3m i have yet to play it

#

i liked it more at 45s

quasi pine

yeah really hate the change

45s and 100% instead of 80

poor little thing

what it does now it just adds a step to DM

Is Exsang/No Exsang build personal prefference for Rasza M or one is maybe more suitable than the other?

#

Also, should I drop Puzzlebox for HC Torch no matter what sims are saying or playing both is good? I am a bit 'off' from using both ON USE trinkets but will play what will bring most benefits to the team. Some guildies went HC Torch already over 415 Box

#

Just 4.1% are using Icon, I guess its time to swap for me too

subtle tundra
#

I play whats comfy not what's best personally

#

In mythic aswell

#

🫡

winter gale
#

I will do the same, I think No Exsang build will go nice for that but I will also try sub a bit as Oxi suggested me. One more thing, with Box/Torch... I use Torch on CD and Box I pair with DM always?

pseudo hamlet
#

The difference is so miniscule that I think the more comfortable you play, the better DPS you'd actually do.
It's like the Corruption thing - you may get a better DPS on the paper, but in real situations it's not that great.
(kinda exaggerated, but you get the point)

winter gale

Yes

Torch is nuts for prog

winter gale

I will go with 2x on use as Torch is good for prog, big insta dmg for when needed.

subtle tundra

Torch is nuts. People die regardless if it's prog or not

winter gale
#

I think there are few ppl that will get torch over me if/when it drops and dropped dagger is 100% mine if/when. So I will go for M Torch in the vault over the dagger and I do feel bad for that 😄
