i am not even sure

#

to get inev you need to drop quite a bit of other talent nodes

vast forum
#

We'll see

storm belfry
#

Yeah it’s busted

vast forum
#

Depends if set symbols and on-use symbols extend eachother or overwrite

vestal wren
#

if you take swift you already get 20 sec every 25 sec of uptime by default

vast forum
vestal wren
#

even if they don't

vast forum
#

Which i'm hoping for but not holding my breath

vestal wren
#

but yes, i assume it extends

vast forum
#

Currently doesn't extend if you use dust and double sod

storm belfry
#

Nah. The tier is for flourish and VI. No shot they make both baseline or one baseline and then you can essentially talent into VI and then have both bonuses.

royal lantern
# storm belfry Yeah it’s busted

wont release like that, dont worry lol

hpriest set:"prayer of mending jumps to ~1more target, your 1min cs spell then heals ~10% more uwu"

rdruid: "2main heals heal 15% more, regrowth 75% more, flourish is now more or less 2x stronger xdddd"

#

the difference is so absurd

#

no way it releases like that

storm belfry
#

Yeah I know it won’t be released like that

royal lantern
#

the rdruid 2set is allready busted OMEGAKEKW

storm belfry
#

If anything it’ll be 8 seconds or something

#

Yeah

#

Has rejuv healing for like 3k a tick almost

#

Also can have both flourish and tier set flourish bonus running at the same time

#

My class too good

royal lantern
#

i mean, its rdruid

#

blizz always makes sure rdruid is meta somewhere lmao

storm belfry
#

Idr last time I was meta

#

And can be “meta” but won’t be taken for WF KEKL

royal lantern
#

otherwhise all druid healers would notice they suck and just get hard carried by a overtuned spec that plays itself omegalul

storm belfry
#

Funny you say that cause most rdruids do suck

royal lantern
#

well duh

storm belfry
#

We are only meta now cause our damage. Which we could honestly do before but majority of them are bad

royal lantern
#

in m+, it legit plays itself

#

0effort to heal m+ as a druid

storm belfry
#

We had amazing damage in Slands not many knew

royal lantern
#

thats why its so popular lol

storm belfry
#

Nah you gotta know some stuff

#

It’s a proactive class. You will fail if you don’t prep

royal lantern
#

insane prep: put 2hots on people(instant cast while moving btw) dracthyr_kek

storm belfry
#

Can’t tell you how many times ppl ask about tempest boss and fail when that is an rdruids wet dream

royal lantern
#

tempest boss is legit just a healer braincheck

#

can they actually heal, or not

storm belfry
#

Yeah it’s an easy class to learn but hard to master. Like many others

#

Thing is it’s not man

#

You legit get carried by the boss

#

Just have 10 stacks that’s it

royal lantern
#

man

storm belfry
#

Only class that can have trouble even tho they are busted is evoker. And that’s just cause of range

royal lantern
#

you play healer yourself, you dont know the abyys that is random healers

storm belfry
#

I do

#

I play rogue and lock and I see the shit healers

#

I legit tell them what to do

#

I help ppl in DG everyday

royal lantern
#

doing a dungeon and the druid used tranq once, or the priest not doing decent lightweaving or the shaman never using SLT

#

2ez fun

storm belfry
#

When they don’t even prep tranq

gaunt moat
#

Man, I feel like I'm gonna have to learn subtlety for next season, cause sin is a lot cause.
I never thought it'd come to that.

subtle tundra
#

ok mr doomer

gaunt moat
#

This tier set is garbage. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

subtle tundra
west bolt
#

You expect sub to be better with this set?

solemn oracle
#

^

west bolt
#

Cause sub set isnt that strong too

gaunt moat
#

its not about the numbers

gray crest
#

The next tier set should be slightly better than the current one

oblique jackal
#

Did they say anything about making CT Baseline?

#

bc i dont think the tier set will work for pvp

gaunt moat
#

no changes to talents were announced

uncut echo
#

Man, give them a minute

#

We have months

#

Until 10.1

Let's chill

uncut echo

Yeah, I have

#

You're allowed your anger and frustration

#

But brooding and wallowing is a bit overplayed

subtle tundra
#

Hehe

Varas is a forum warrior I bet

subtle tundra
#

Yessir

Whenever I have any sort of hope for humanity, I humble myself by reading the forums

royal lantern
#

i want Entertainment

spice spire
#

Though you’re a fed idk how you have hope

storm belfry
#

To change topic and ask a noob question. Do you guys send CDs on pull w Crawth or hold til burn phase? I assume send on pull?

spice spire
marble hemlock
#

Depends on thundering timer. If you plan on overlapping burn with thundering, then hold. But on tyrannical keys you kinda need to send on pull or the boss won't hit 75% before someone dies too the aoe

storm belfry
#

Yeah I’ve done both. But I couldn’t remember which felt like it was more. Lately just been sending on pull

#

Ty guys

zealous urchin
#

We boutta do big dick dps with the new tier sets 😎

uncut echo
#

True and real

#

I just think its funny how everyone hated azerite gear so much, because ilvl wasn't always an upgrade. Meanwhile, that same person is now wearing raid finder gear, because ilvl isn't an upgrade. But here we go, another tier, and more sets lol

spice spire
#

Me playing sin despite the haters

zealous urchin
#

Assa rogues when they have to track 1 more bleed pepehands

Morning sinners

spice spire

We’re tracking at least two at all times hmmCoffee

We dooming this morning?

I am excited to try the new tiers

Then why did you type that as if you started playing in bfa

why does that opener look sus

Umm looks a little out of place lol

royal lantern
spice spire
uncut echo
royal lantern
#

fuck the haters, assa will win in the long run

#

just wait

normal mist
#

I believe the problem of using CT in st isn't the "keeping up with 3 bleeds" but the fact that it isn't funny to play like that

#

It just isn't enjoyable

zealous urchin

#

tierset look busted?

willow eagle
#

Next patch full on nature damage build for assa

royal lantern
stiff frost
#

I would rather play sin where I have to use my brain than outlaw where is hitting shinny buttons lol or sub spam 3 buttons

royal lantern
#

atleasz looks bad on first sight

stiff frost
#

Jk but I feel sin is more methodical

normal mist
#

Where does assa use a brain tho

#

XD

zealous urchin
#

Oh no I have to click CT instead of Envenom now and then 😭😭 feelscryman feelscryman

subtle tundra
#

The numbers don't matter

royal lantern
#

40% more NATURE dmg AFTER your high dmg window is over @timber meadow

thats weapon poisons and envenom only btw

subtle tundra
#

It's the effect you look at

normal mist
#

The 2set

thorn fjord
#

Ct in st is not fun

royal lantern
thorn fjord
#

But silver lining

normal mist
#

33% yeah, isn't much if we are speccing into nature dmg and not bleed dmg

thorn fjord
#

Atleast we won’t have to take mfd

craggy oak
#

Gunna make you all super mad with a based take

normal mist
#

We already are

craggy oak
#

Ct st with 20 sec exang with overhang was bis

thorn fjord
#

I’ve got my gif ready

hollow river
normal mist
hollow river
#

That was one of the worst play styles I’ve ever seen thus far

craggy oak
#

And memes aside, i stand by that, it might be a club of 1, but it was the best club

craggy oak
zealous urchin
#

We legit get 33% more dmg on CT and Rupture and 40% more nature dmg after deathmark for 30 fking sec, shit looks fun as hell

hollow river
#

It was fun at first, the added skill expression was nice

#

But it fell off in the fun section very quickly

#

I’m not trying to doom here, but 40% nature dmg after DM is incredibly passive and not as big as it sounds

royal lantern
hollow river
#

If it brings kingsbane back into the lead/viability I’d be happy at least

subtle tundra
#

Lol

hollow river
royal lantern
zealous urchin
#

Dont forget that it wil probably increase the nature damage rupture and CT gets too by 40%

trail tree
#

that probably wont be all that much damage realistically

royal lantern
#

^

storm belfry
royal lantern
#

like, how much dmg do you guys think rupture is doing lol

subtle tundra
#

ALL

zealous urchin
#

Enough dmg where you have to keep it up

#

It's the arterial precisions patch!

subtle tundra

#

Now then, that is a cursed talent

hollow chasm
#

I hate Deathmark I hate Deathmark I hate Deathmark

#

I can't believe I miss Vendetta sadge

trail tree
#

i like deathmark, i hate what they're doing to it

#

vendetta was better tho big agree

thorn fjord

#

sin Rupture doesn't even do more damage than sub rogues rupture lmao

royal lantern
#

idk the problem you have there

hollow chasm
subtle tundra
#

Wat

thorn fjord
#

Looks like meats back on the menu boys

subtle tundra
#

I love meat

hollow chasm
#

it's completely different, and the exsang interaction is just cringe

royal lantern
#

how is it different, it litearrly fills the same role vendetta had

exsang is exsang, the problem is exsang in that case, not dm lol

subtle tundra
#

It won't be with the tier set

#

Sign me up

#

Make exsang 2min 50%

#

Please

next dune
#

Make exang aoe

#

Yeah, I said that

timber meadow
hollow chasm
#

with 3 min CD, it would still be cringe on aoe

timber meadow
#

ye so its literally just envenom and poison

royal lantern
#

check how much of your dmg overall is nature dmg

thorn fjord
#

How about them big BTE casts tho

#

👀

timber meadow
gray crest
thorn fjord
#

It should be an easy transition… all the CE rogues were playing mostly sub on raz and the sub set it poggers… so naturally we just main sub next tier

subtle tundra
#

40% of 40% for 25%

#

Great

storm belfry
#

Funny enough I was toying with sub last night on some dummies before bed

gray crest
thorn fjord
#

I’m liking the OL tier tbh… I think it might end up being pretty cool

subtle tundra
#

Once again I will play whatever the fuck I want in prog

thorn fjord
#

Like the king you are Varas

gray crest
#

OL set is boring but good

subtle tundra
#

I fucking hate incline bench press

#

Fuck fuck fuck

thorn fjord
#

I don’t think it’s super boring

storm belfry
gray crest
#

It adds no gameplay change and it is essentially flat damage

thorn fjord
#

Should help with st

silk bane
subtle tundra
#

Hey its more in aoe, rigggght?

timber meadow
subtle tundra
#

I can't do math

silk bane
timber meadow
#

correct

normal mist
#

Do we know if the s1 set will become "legacy" when we transition to S2?

timber meadow
#

your dmg outside cd's is about 40% nature dmg

zealous urchin
timber meadow
#

so prob like a 15% increase

#

yeah

subtle tundra
#

Fart

timber meadow
#

to st

#

which seems good?

silk bane
#

Look at your graph now what do u sustain without CDs? Not much, not bad but not much.

timber meadow
#

but maybe other sets are just insane and thats why everyone is dooming

zealous urchin
#

Other sets arent insane lol

timber meadow
#

im thinkings it prob nets out to about 15% st increase

#

which seems crazy

zealous urchin
#

Look at wowhead comments everyone doomin lol

fallow canopy
#

Personally I think I'm too dumb to know if its going to be good or bad but it feels weird design wise

gray crest
thorn fjord
#

I’m dumb as fuck and I know this shit is a cap

silk bane
#

Its like a 4% increase to your damage outside of cooldowns not terrible but not very good either Imo. Could potentially.introduxe Giga degen playstyles. Idk though maybe with rupture and CT also doing mature damage and generally more damage it ends up being decent and we end up.having a more or less flat ish damage curve who knows

timber meadow
#

and its a 40% boost on that

spice surge
#

The 40% boost isnt up constantly

fallow canopy
#

its just 30 seconds tho

timber meadow
#

fair enough

uncut echo
#

Maybe refrain from running numbers if you're unsure of how the set works in actuality

#

So people don't instajump on you

zealous urchin
#

Dont forget that the rupture and CT also do 33% more as nature dmg so you can potentially refresh that at the end of the 30 sec

silk bane
#

^ 40% increase on 40% of your damage is 16% with an uptime of 30 seconds every 2 minutes It becomes 16% x 0.25 = 4...

silk bane
zealous urchin
#

Wait

#

Forreal

uncut echo
#

Me to the sin channel rn

gray crest
#

40% of your damage being nature is highballing it

zealous urchin
#

I thought it always did

#

Fuck me

subtle tundra
#

Imagine if it snapshotted LOL

#

Couldn't get more degenerate

uncut echo
#

I'm giving all of you soothing headpats rn

zealous urchin
#

Nah cmon man

silk bane
#

Yeah I'm thinking.its probably even less. Because if you're running double shiv you're gonna try and get both of them in DM window maybe? Or not shiv anly.once.in DM.window? Man what a cluster fuck

thorn fjord
uncut echo
silk bane
#

Idk about that!

uncut echo
#

Nah, I do

#

There's absolutely zero chance

gray crest
#

Yeah you don't run double shiv lmao

uncut echo
#

That's objectively bad and antithetical to the logic shiv uses currently

#

Sorry honey :(

silk bane
#

How would u know? Maybe with extra nature damage from CT and rupture it might be worth it! Maybe u drop all poison nodes from.now and take.shiv.

uncut echo
#

No.

gray crest
#

Double shiv only gives one extra shiv during your first death mark

uncut echo
#

^

gray crest
#

Nothing else

silk bane
#

U can't know that! Like poisons are gonna be what 20% weaker next tier since lose our tier set

thorn fjord
uncut echo
#

And report back to me

silk bane
#

I know I read that.

uncut echo
#

Okay

subtle tundra
#

If you hold...

gray crest
#

Probably solved then

uncut echo
#

So how in the world will double shiv for thr first 16 seconds do anything

uncut echo
zealous urchin
#

Double shiv would only work if you ovdrflow with energy and it actually recharges

uncut echo
#

No, it wouldnt work then

#

Half of shiv is getting the cranked up applications of your poisons

zealous urchin
#

If other buttons are important to press more than you wont use shiv on cd

uncut echo
#

And envenoms hitting harder than a truck

thorn fjord
#

Think it’s hitting more like a small crossover

zealous urchin
thorn fjord
#

Still bigger than a sedan tho

#

I remember just holding shiv for KB

#

Good times

tawny badger
#

does assassination gain value on tyrannical week since it has the highest boss dps? or do you trade too much aoe to make it worth

royal lantern
#

and thats not a thing after DM

#

🙂

uncut echo
#

Trash is still infinitely more important

royal lantern
#

aoe is always king in m+

sub does everything better than assa rn

thorn fjord
#

Pog

#

@royal lantern sub main now right?

#

RIGHT?!

uncut echo
#

I play sin in raid, and sub in keys.

royal lantern
#

if you wanna play assa, you always just go the normal m+ build,no matter the week

thorn fjord
#

I know @uncut echo is after her fat council parse

uncut echo
#

After?

#

I got it!

craggy oak
uncut echo
#

Oh

#

I'm dumb

#

Yeah I'm goated with the sauce

thorn fjord
#

I’m just bad at sub for whatever reason.. that or it’s not having ring but our sub out dps most of the time

#

Not by much but he’s still higher

misty holly
#

Crap, somehow I managed to get too much critical strike. Stat Weights are telling me crit is my worst stat in patchwerk and just barely above haste in dungeon slice.

#

Time to regem I guess.

STAT WEIGHT

uncut echo

The gain is so infintesimally small

POGGERSSSS

uncut echo
#

I'd suggest not

bleak sky

#

Brother, I played demo lock in nyalotha and had so much haste that the stat weight sim said that haste stat weight was negative for me

#

Ignore stat weight sims

uncut echo
#

Yeah

Stat weight seems useful at least for deciding on enchants and gems

thats the best thing you can do lol

you know, i wonder why its still a thing when raidbots themself says "dont use it"

like, just remove the option

#

and how much is outlaw?

slim hamlet
#

Isnt 2 target the only bad one for sub tho?

subtle tundra
#

That's why I said

uncut echo
#

Lmao.

trail tree
#

something something sub more rupture damage

uncut echo
#

God stop

brazen zodiac
#

💃

trail tree
#

you're also depressed cause assa sucks? me too :c

uncut echo
#

Nope, I'm fine

brazen zodiac
#

but it doesnt

#

💃

uncut echo
#

It's completely fine

#

It's a little weak, but entirely playable

#

If you're not outputting the numbers to be relevant on assassination (and not progging mythic rasz bc the spec is dead on that fight) you're playing wrong

brazen zodiac
#

i cant wait to play sin on raz prog

#

💃

uncut echo
#

Pop off, ily

#

I will be too, until we hit consistent intermission :)

trail tree
uncut echo
#

Okay

#

That's really awesome

#

Spec doesn't suck though.

trail tree
#

yeah its playable and fine honestly

#

even on raza its alright

uncut echo
#

Okay

trail tree
#

more cause rupture sucks compared to sub rupture

uncut echo
#

Did you say this to just start shit then?

signal badger
#

Tbh sin isn’t that bad on ras

trail tree
uncut echo
#

That's kinda lame

#

It'd be cooler if you didn't do that

hardy dagger
#

You will probably top boss dmg but then again it's kinda whatever as p1 intermission is the only hard part of the fight nowstarege

trail tree
uncut echo
trail tree
#

not hard tbh when he's perma drunk

hardy dagger
#

Oof

#

It's been rough ig since mdas disband huh?

trail tree
#

yeah he even transferred to ragnaros

carmine dawn
gusty mirage
#

no, you're dooming yourself calling yourself washed 😠

ebon notch
carmine dawn
#

But it’s a weird scenario where your raid comp has too much aoe dmg for intermission and needs the extra 5-10k dps from assa

uncut echo
signal badger
#

Agree with comp, I’ve been out solo rogue on prog for most of it since we didn’t need aoe as much and I love sin

gusty mirage
# limber lion idk man

bro you could not play wow for 6 months and still do better than 80% of the playerbase cmon now

Not refreshing enough to make me stay

#

That's kind of it

#

And obv the damage talent bugs

#

And long arms bug

#

But the spec plays great

gusty mirage
#

and the fact that 1/3 of their tree is useless

limber lion
#

I'm not a fan of it in single target personally

uncut echo
#

I like it in ST a lot

#

I prefer sin but ST sub is v fun with first dance

limber lion
#

I like the Assa gameplay loop much more than sub in st

#

but that's just me

uncut echo
#

Same

#

100%

gusty mirage
#

I do too

#

just wish assassination did more damage

#

the effort into performance ratio just isn't there

uncut echo
#

Yeah

gusty mirage
#

esp when you realize you can just play a BM hunter and press 2 buttons and do 15k more dps

limber lion
#

I wish the things that we could minmax on the spec actually mattered

gusty mirage
#

while moving

#

lol

limber lion
#

But I'm pretty alone on that thought

gusty mirage
#

you're not

limber lion
#

I'm a big advocate for skill expression

gusty mirage
#

I tested out the recommended opener

#

vs the one I've been doing

#

and legit

#

nothing significant

limber lion
#

It's the same shit

gusty mirage
#

you could legit fumble the entire opener

limber lion
#

Perfect Shiv windows, perfect usage of resources and cp

uncut echo
#

Bring back s2m priest

limber lion
#

nothing matters

gusty mirage
#

and barely lose dps

limber lion
#

just slam buttons

#

exsang dm

#

who cares

uncut echo
#

That was peak skill expression

#

Honestly

gusty mirage
#

ya it's super depresso

ebon notch
#

idk the sub gameplay loop is very satisfying imo

#

i love phat crits

#

and we dont rly have that as assa

uncut echo
limber lion
#

That's why I enjoyed the 4p of Sepulcher

gusty mirage
#

I mean I've crit some fatty envenoms for 130k-140k

limber lion
#

I reap the benefits while everyone else complains how shit it is

gusty mirage
ebon notch
gusty mirage
#

LOL

ebon notch
#

got a 200k one recently

signal badger
#

When I hit a 300k envenom on the opener I nut a bit

ebon notch
#

but its only in opener

#

ykno

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

it really hit me on broodkeeper

limber lion
#

Progging 4 hours on a boss is just SO giga sleeper

gusty mirage
#

when I was stuck to the boss

uncut echo
#

Sectech hitting for 500k is nice tho

limber lion
#

Brood is the worst

gusty mirage
#

and legit just falling asleep

limber lion
#

Yeah same

#

I was legit having a fine time on prog

#

until brood

#

that shit destroyed me

ebon notch
#

that was so much fun

limber lion
#

as assa?

ebon notch
#

ye

limber lion
#

monkas

signal badger
#

Brood was target dummy, someone messes up egg, repeat.

ebon notch
#

nono was by choice

limber lion
#

did you get r2

ebon notch
#

it was actually fun

#

yes unfortunately

#

we had 9 PEOPLE DIE

limber lion
#

so more time in execute

ebon notch
#

longest boss fight in the history of the fucking world

limber lion
ebon notch
#

yeah bro was sick

uncut echo
#

Laaaarge execute

signal badger
#

Cause I agree a higher skill ceiling is needed, right now it feels that if you can do the basic rotation parsing is based on gear.

gusty mirage
#

I just feel like there's a lack of skill expression in the current way assassination plays

#

because legit you have to try super hard to do terrible damage

limber lion
# signal badger What changes would you wanna see to change this?

Something that promotes alertness and minmaxing. Stuff like maintaining Elaborate Planning/Envenom/Alacrity buffs, pooling, Shiv windows, borrowed power changing rotation and so on. Like currently you do not care about Shiv windows, you just press it on cooldown. You don't care about EP/Envenom/Alacrity buffs, they just happen on their own and you don't play around them at all. All the borrowed power we have is just a passive extra on top of everything which doesn't change the rotation at all.

#

You literally slam everything on cooldown and that's it.

#

Amp Poison introduces higher Envenom hits and a stacking mechanic

#

we don't look at the stacks at all, it just happens passively

#

again

#

just like everything else in the kit

gusty mirage
#

I was once upon a time hyped for indiscriminate carnage in m+ and all that ended up being was a pretty meh version of blade flurry that took some thinking out of the aoe rotation

#

like I'm still pro IC, but I wish there was more you could do with it

#

@limber lion I think losing kingsbane really highlighted how boring assassination's rotation is

#

because at least with KB you had something you had to actively track

#

there was a bit of wiggle room for optimizing shiv w/ it

limber lion
#

Absolutely

limber lion
#

That's why I loved Kingsbane, it actively changed how we played our rotation

#

We had to track different things in different ways, make sure to have Envenom up and running before slamming Kingsbane, making sure to always have 2 Shiv ready, making sure to use the Shiv's back to back without letting it drop and so on

#

Forgetting about the second Shiv would be a big loss in dps, not having Envenom up asap was a loss as well

#

Stuff like that is good

#

Stuff like DTB is bad

gusty mirage
#

ya keeps things from getting stale

cedar silo
#

does anyone feel like the tier set is going to push sin out of the meta

limber lion
#

Literally everything in our kit is either passive or something you slam on cooldown without thought

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Even more so if you don't play Exsang/Puzzle Box

#

Which we likely won't in 10.1

uncut echo
#

Perfect opporunity to put kb where dm is now.

signal badger
#

Thanks for the insight, I agree with a lot of it, spec kinda plays itself right now as long as you keep bleeds up

uncut echo
#

Kb + dtb would put us in a competitive spot for ST

they can be 50/50

And bake dm into the kit

i mean i get we arent crazy meta

but idk a dmg amp after our main cd

and using tempest in single target

feels horrendous

subtle tundra
#

i only need sockets

uncut echo
gusty mirage
#

we don't know if we'll use CT in ST yet or not

#

it comes down the numbers really

limber lion

It doesn't change anything in the spec or the rotation

#

Like, at all

uncut echo
#

No, flavor

limber lion
#

Sure

uncut echo
#

Nothing to do with play

cedar silo
#

why couldnt it be like garrote

limber lion
#

Would something that adds a 3rd poison be flavorful as well

uncut echo
#

No we have 2 daggers :3

limber lion
#

Why is having 4 poisons more flavorful than having 2 poisons

gusty mirage
uncut echo
#

Lmao

limber lion
#

Exactly

#

So 2 poisons

#

But with DTB you use 4

uncut echo
limber lion
#

one poison for each dagger

gusty mirage
#

which is why we lost kingsbane in the first place

subtle tundra
#

you apply twice the poisons

#

flavour

gusty mirage
#

AP was 100% a move to try to make assa aoe better

cedar silo
#

make carnage have the same effect that shadow technique and blade flurry have

#

thats all they need to do

#

make the cd drop per combo point spent

#

every other spec has something that makes the aoe viable thats all they need to do

gray crest
subtle tundra
#

a capstone cant get any more boring than dtb

ebon notch
#

just turn IC into actual blade flurry but it works with dots

#

i wanna envenom 8 targets

gusty mirage
#

I don't want assassination to play like outlaw or sub

subtle tundra
#

you know what

gusty mirage
#

I want assassination to play like assassination

subtle tundra
#

give me toggle bladeflurry

uncut echo
#

Ez fix

gusty mirage
cedar silo
#

how would lowering the cd on carnage by using combo points be horrible when secret tech and blade flurry work that way?

subtle tundra
#

kb and dtb moment

uncut echo
#

Idgaf if it won't happen, it'd fix the spec tho

gusty mirage
#

they will not make assassination the only spec in the game that gets its major CD by existing

storm belfry
#

I wish IC had 2 charges

cedar silo
#

it would honestly address the major aoe problem

limber lion
#

In a world where DTB and Kingsbane live, it's not gonna happen.

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Imagine DTB + Deathmark + 2p/4p tierset + AP + Double Shiv

#

monkas

gusty mirage
#

you already have it up for pretty much every pack in m+

subtle tundra
#

omg dtb making our tree actively worse by existing?!?

uncut echo
#

:)

cedar silo
#

means you can use it on every pack in m+ mainly and im sure if the cd drops like secret tech does you can carnage multiple packs

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
cedar silo
#

multiple times in a pack *

gusty mirage
#

problem with that

cedar silo
#

sorry worded that weird

gusty mirage
#

is you'd override imp garrotes

ebon notch
#

i still think spending combo points should extend our existing dots

uncut echo
#

I'm not a game designer. I don't give the best ideas. I've got a few to fix it in M+ but it isn't my job

ebon notch
#

would be fuckin sick

gusty mirage
#

so multiple uses wouldn't solve anything

limber lion
#

Buff VW back to it's original value and remove DTB

#

It's time

storm belfry
#

Why don’t we have cdr tho

cedar silo
#

honestly thats true

#

fuck

gusty mirage
#

tbh

ebon notch
#

fuck it give us something like meta

#

we become "ultimate rogue"

gusty mirage
#

assassination being 54apm in the first tier is fucking weird

cedar silo
#

maybe if they did that and made carnage always provide a stealth garrote it would be ok but i see the issue

ebon notch
#

for X seconds

#

and we extend it by poisoning things

subtle tundra
#

what if we drink our own poisons

ebon notch
#

we also gain 20 yard range

subtle tundra
#

and become super sayian

storm belfry
#

Okay now we are wandering off lmao

gusty mirage
#

the problem with never having empty globals is that you can't make the abilities hit harder because melee doesn't have a cast time

subtle tundra
uncut echo
# ebon notch would be fuckin sick

My take if you give a shit is to make our aoe finisher malefic rapture for SIN, doing damage to targets based on dots on the target, that only gets used in 3+ bc of scent of blood stacks. Name thst exsanguinate, and rework current exsang to be a 15% haste node for bleeds, like circle of life and death for druids.

gusty mirage
#

weird take given every aff lock in the universe fucking despises rapture

ebon notch
#

but most of the wacky ones had to be tested during beta

#

where it didnt matter

#

but they didnt

uncut echo
#

We can spam it

#

They cant

ebon notch
#

gimme a talent where all the damage we deal in aoe funnels into our deathmark target while its up

storm belfry
#

Yeah its terrible for aff. A terrible feeling

ebon notch
#

but it doesnt duplicate or smth

#

and its X% of our aoe ofc

ebon notch
uncut echo
gusty mirage
#

they literally destroyed sub rogue in bfa because it had that sort of funnel mechanic

#

sub rogue after zul was dead

#

for the entire expac

uncut echo
#

It'd feel great as fuck if you got soul shards at half the rate rogue got cp

cedar silo
#

they should give us a little poison bomb thats a skill shot like cap totem that will extend the bleeds/poisens on targets for 15 mroe seconds that can honestly make the carnage a little bit better and you still use every pack / every other pack

#

so you keep dmg and nto the silence

Hello friends, im new at looking to sims and min/max gear. i try'd to get the "right" stats and enchants and all that fluff - and did some Heroic bosses with the !details Addon. When i use raidbots and use a patchwerk fight and run a quick sim it tells me that i should have 55.600 DPS. And at the Boss Terros i had 51.300 DPS. so my question now is - how can i see what i did wrong? how do i reach more DPS? i have found that someone made a log at warcraftlogs where i can see my fight there. how can i analyse it now?

I feel we doom on sin aoe i bit wrong, the aoe is actually there, in a m+ environment, providing the key is high enough, not meta spec level but good enough, sure we lack burst aoe, but we a bleed spec, and a plaster fix is to shift some of ct dmg into the initial hit, the bigger issue is not beig able to spec into aoe without ST taking a huge smack no?

Now if we are happy how our aoe is done is a separate issue

yea when sin was busted id say sin

Honestly OL is a blast and is good in pvp

Depends on how much health the pack has left, sometimes it’s correct to energy starve and finish it off, sometimes it’s correct to redot 3 targets to keep regen going

storm belfry

Actually probably just another bow and Arrow user

subtle tundra

all i've done today is humour myself at people who dont understand the spec

What if they gave us cdr like the other two specs?

Would that break sin?

Imagine a dot spec having to reaply 3 dots

cedar silo

i was just mentioning this before

slow marsh
proven jasper
#

They should tie ic to crimson tempest or somerhing

cedar silo

about how they can add a cdr like secret technique or restless blades mechanic to carnage and it would fix the aoe

proven jasper

yes

slow marsh
#

Carnage doesn't fix aoe

proven jasper
#

Do fucking something

thorn fjord
#

I’m just joining in 🤣

slow marsh
#

They are

cedar silo
#

yea i believe after thinking about carnage will not fix the aoe cause of how stealth garrote works

slow marsh
#

They're buffing rupture and CT

signal badger
#

My point is that our damage is pisspoor at that point while others get blade flurry or black powder. We get to fish for PB procs or spam ct depending on size. Feels like we need something there

slow marsh
#

We get another bandaid instead of real fixes ( could still come in notes but nothing yet)

thorn fjord
#

Our dmg isn’t piss ooor though

slow marsh
#

I'm not gonna lie at first glance at the tier bonus I was like wut this sucks. But it's entirely based on all the complaints about our lack of aoe and the tier bonus is directly geared towards that

strange python
#

That's dumb though

cedar silo
#

i dont think the dmg is piss poor either . i also think itsd ludacris to ever think sin aoe should be on same scale as sub based off on how subs profile is supposed to play

strange python
#

Fixing AoE through a tier set is stupid.

slow marsh
#

I agree

#

But that's what we get

#

I guess

#

More bandaids for the bandaid spec

#

again, still no patch notes for rogue changes so stuff could change but for now that's what it looks like

strange python
#

It would have to be the most powerful tier set ever implemented to make sin competitive on AoE, and we're not getting a ST focused set as an ST spec as a result.

thorn fjord
#

Still no pb on rupture

#

Bring it back!

cedar silo
#

sub is a funnel spec so mass aoe just makes it so much stronger and you just cant hope to compete with a funnel spec in that regard i feel like

proven jasper
#

My question is who is asking to make sin compete with sub

slow marsh
#

Bro

thorn fjord
#

Nobody

proven jasper
#

doesnt everyone just want sin to be best melee ST LMAO

sweet dawn

Sin is a funnel spec aswell, no?

i've been wanting to play it and not feel bad since bfa s2

i wonder if the new tier set would make sepsis viable tbh

#

considering the nature dmg bonus we get after DM

slow marsh
#

That would be so cursed I love it

#

But no

signal badger
cedar silo
#

someone mentioned before it would be cool to think about what to use in the rotation rather than spamming things on CD

#

that essentially is doing that lol

subtle tundra
#

every time i pushed as assa i thought i was gimping myself, i want a season where thats not true

proven jasper
#

🤷🏼‍♂️

thorn fjord
#

Bfa S2 was the wave of mobs affix no?

subtle tundra
#

it was 3x outlaw season 🙂

thorn fjord
#

Yeah I do remember that lol

hardy dagger
#

Veinripper on all our bleed and no cd on icpepegashoot

slow marsh
#

How about they make IC a 1min cd and have it auto apply rupture and garrote with one global

signal badger
#

Lol just make KB work with IC that will fix our M+

subtle tundra
#

the last time i remember assa being best in m+ was bfa s1 for a solid one or two weeks

cedar silo
#

KB on IC holy hell

slow marsh
#

and add like a 15% damage amp or something

#

i'd take that capstone

signal badger
#

Kek it would be 3x sin

marble hemlock
subtle tundra
#

i can see your argument for s4

#

but come on

#

dont lie to yourself just cause you pushed as assa

#

so did i

cedar silo
#

if they made it so casting IC would always guarantee a stealth garrote dmg amp and a 6-7 point rupture while also having a restless blades mechanic where the cds is reduced by spending combo points everyone would be happy

signal badger
#

We would prob be too strong with all of it, but I wouldn’t complain 🙂

cedar silo
#

i think it would be fine if it was just the dmg amp from stealth garrote and not re apllying the silence

#

or the dmg reduce

signal badger
#

Tbh I think a flavorful thing they could add would be cdr on things when mobs died.

slow marsh
#

I don't see any reason to add cdr on IC

#

Like really you guys just dont want to tab bleeds which is fine but man

proven jasper
#

No i think the problem is that you dont get to damage by the time mobs are already dead 🙂

slow marsh
#

What damage are you trying to do

#

spam envenom on each mob?

cedar silo
#

so i agree in m+ its whatever buut im more so saying like a raid boss like council or brood if youre doing adds

slow marsh
#

So on a raid boss

#

even if IC had cdr

storm belfry
sweet dawn
#

If you put a sin rogue on adds for Brood you're trippin'

slow marsh
#

what is that doing

#

some people man

cedar silo
#

no you wouldnt put sin rogue on adds

storm belfry
#

Makes it guaranteed for each pack or even two uses on bigger packs

cedar silo
#

but you could if IC had cdr on it

storm belfry
#

Yes

slow marsh
#

and lose how much boss damage

cedar silo
#

if you were able to use an ic every single add pack it would compete with sub

slow marsh
#

and lose how much boss damage

cedar silo
#

wouldnt lose much boss dmg youde lose the execute but you could do DTB IC if that build was a thing theres plenty of ways to mix things up in the tree is the main point

#

the difference in sub aoe and single target in the tree is all of 1-2 points to change out

#

for sin its like 5

proven jasper
#

I think dm should be built into the spec and dtb shouldnt be a capstone 🙂

cedar silo
#

thats alot more to change the spec up to were u can only go aoe or full ST

proven jasper
#

we should be able to take kb and dtb:)

cedar silo
#

if only

proven jasper
#

Put dtb where dm is

#

I mean the thing is for sub is you can get away with good ST damage while also playing the aoe build lmfao

for sin its one or the other
