that statement is so stupid bro

#

lol

frigid pilot
#

so is filtering by boss dam

unreal coyote
#

LOL

frigid pilot
#

boss dmg is the cope that sin rogues have been using all expo

unreal coyote
#

boss damage.....kills bosses?

boss dam important šŸ’ƒ

yeh i mean that

holy shit who is this guy

because of this

in prog...boss dmg means a lot

again, is another boss

unreal coyote
#

who was talking about mages

agile geode
#

but ok

unreal coyote
#

or another boss

agile geode
#

kekw

#

the question was simple

unreal coyote
#

yep

#

smooth grey matter

#

imagine actually typing out that boss damage isnt important

uncut echo
#

It's not! It doesn't make your overall high!

marble hemlock
#

No offense, but if you're arguing "compare shows aoe builds on kurog" you shouldnt berate people on mythic raszageth.

unreal coyote
#

broh if you dont do add dmg youre getting carried

agile geode
#

playing assa on rasz isnt good as playing it with sub?
i mean assa more bossdmg sub more overrall dmg
but i assume u can play whatever you want right?

unreal coyote
#

get with the program

agile geode
#

obviously depending on what your team needs more

oblique jackal
#

Is that boss dmg or overall?

brazen zodiac
#

sin platforms omegalul

unreal coyote
#

XD

#

imagine doing platforms as sin

marble hemlock
#

If your raid struggles with red side first intermission, go sub and you can actually help with that. If not, ask yourself if you're gonna struggle with shield damage (unlikely since the nerf). Those are the 2 main things each of the specs does "best".

unreal coyote
#

i would concede that sub is the spec to play for ras

marble hemlock
#

All things considered, Subs value is in intermission add damage, whereas Assa is better in P2, P3 and on the big adds in 2nd intermission

agile geode
#

thanks for the answer

#

ā¤ļø

unreal coyote
#

but the actual clown had to say "boss dmg is cope"

marble hemlock
#

So if you're assigned to blue side, which is the side that doesn't need a lot of burst for adds, assa is probably the better play

#

Since you will do a lot more damage to the big adds in 2nd intermission, and more boss damage in P2 and P3

tired night
#

Does the poison proc from the brackenhide trinket scale with our mastery?

spice spire
#

99% chance no

nocturne current
#

Items don't scale with stats, otherwise it would create a stat loop.

marble hemlock
#

what the flying fuck is a "stat loop"

nocturne current
#

What do you think, you're smart enough

marble hemlock
#

im asking because i have no earthly idea

nocturne current
#

The same way you can't reference a formula in excel.

#

It makes a mathematical loop

marble hemlock
#

how is a dps proc gonna create a loop?

marble hemlock
nocturne current
#

Because of how he game is programmed towards items isn't the same way it's programmed towards spells, even if the item itself casts a spell via yourself

marble hemlock
#

i still have no idea what youre talking about. the answer is "white lists" not some code issue or a "stat loop"

nocturne current
#

It's a reference loop.

#

You don't want to alter the source of what you're referencing already from.

marble hemlock
#

thats literally not how this works. weve had items working with class buffs in the past, i.e. symbols or dance damage amps used to work with moonglaives and other trinkets in legion. it didnt cause a "loop" that broke the game or anything. it just did more damage.

nocturne current
royal lantern
#

holy priest mastery works with every single healing trinket

marble hemlock
#

so you saying ghostly strike isnt a global damage amp anymore?

royal lantern
#

there is no "just doesnt work lol"

marble hemlock
#

oh wait, it is

#

theres plenty of global amps left in the game

#

dont armchair dev please

low girder
#

last i heard sub's magic/shadow damage talents will still buff items

#

as well

marble hemlock
#

someone simply went into the whitelists and made sure theyre at least somewhat consistent

can you just like, stop talking nonsense? to this day, global amps exist. we've had stuff like deeper daggers affecting shadow damage from non-rogue sources in SL. ghostly strike is still a global amp. you're just wrong on your idea of how coding works in this game. just drop it.

the answer is: there's whitelists. not all skills are whitelisted. not all skills have whitelists (those often turn out to be global amps instead). you can reference spell data to find out which is which.

marble hemlock

its better to design trinkets and procs and have them all work the same for each class

And that’s on god

Also your taste changes as you age

marble hemlock
#

realz spent a fair amount of time in alpha/beta to clean them up, but wording and tagging in tooltips is still far too obscure to really get the whole picture without having to consult third party information

nocturne current
#

Ghostly Strike is the one amping the global value of everything, the trinket doesn't scale or is even affected by item/spell/whatever, mastery clearly says "your" poisons, so I don't even know why I am having this conversation.

gusty mirage

Why revert it

low girder

they didn't want to go in and re flag a new thing every time

distant lava
low girder
#

so they said fuck it

gusty mirage
#

We had it for half of season 4

#

That’s 2.5 tiers of sylv daggers

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

They changed it because of the pvp trinket

#

Not because of the sylv daggers

#

Idiot

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

The trinket did cosmic damage and dd buffed it

uncut echo
#

Cosmic damage

#

Is that shadow and arcane?

spice spire
#

Because they totally haven’t partitioned pvp/pve effects before Aware

A personal damage amp to a type of damage

# nocturne current Ghostly Strike is the one amping the global value of everything, the trinket doe...

this is not how the game works.

every spell or talent or passive has mods, some of them modify specific damage types, like deeper daggers applying an aura modifier to shadow damage.

others, like ghostly strike, apply a mod that makes them take more damage from the initial caster (you). and

others, like assa mastery, have an extensive whitelist of like 30+ spells they affect with their aura modifier.

theres no consistency there. but, most importantly, theres no "stat loop" or "reference loop", whatever the fuck that even means.

vestal wren
# low girder it does

find weakness is another one that is not exclusive to rogue abilities that all 3 specs have access to

marble hemlock
#

i dont know why youre having this conversation either, because youre arguing a point that is straightup false.

nocturne current
#

It's not consistency or not. The source of the scale isn't the trinket. They asked if mastery increase the scaling of the trinket and the answer is no - items don't scale.

Whatever the fuck you amp, it's the source of the amp, not the item. Item's scale with iLvl, and that's it.

marble hemlock
#

this is too stupid for me

shrewd night
#

Oh sweet summer child.

scarlet orbit
#

their are trinkets that scale with versa witch even have that in the tooltip

marble hemlock
#

this is some "ACKSHUALLY" levels of semantics of "trinkets dont scale" when versa, crit and a variety of other mods affect them

#

no satela

#

in his mind

low girder
#

some do that and it's not even in tooltip

#

whetstone for example

marble hemlock
#

trinkets dont scale with versa. versa scales the trinket

shrewd night
scarlet orbit
#

for example

shrewd night
#

We have trinket. Now versa is more important.
Nono, your trinket just does more damage.
NO. VERSA MORE IMPORTANT .

gaunt pike
#

hey guys quick question at single target sims i see we use haste enchants and crit-haste gems why not mastery?

shrewd night
#

Depends on your gear.

vestal wren
#

^ the answer is "sim it"

#

if its in your personal sim, it is likely that it hides a lot of combinations

marble hemlock
#

his point is that items dont have a list of tags of which skills they are affected by, other skills that scale modifiers will potentially affect items. which is technically correct, but its an incredibly obtuse way of explaining the system

vestal wren
#

because enchant and gem sims are always fairly close in value

royal lantern
shrewd night
#

No no tryan

marble hemlock
#

so i finally understood his point but

#

thats not the way to explain it to someone new

shrewd night
#

The mastery doesn't affect the tooltip of the trinket. Therefore it doesn't scale.

royal lantern
#

i mean, hpriest mastery is not even a % increase

shrewd night
#

IT DOESNT AFFECT. THE TOOLTIP.

#

NO SCALING.

royal lantern
#

its litearlly a HoT based on your mastery % that triggers when you heal starege works with all trinkets that apply a flat heal

#

i mean sorry

#

no scaling=no work

shrewd night
#

Good lad

marble hemlock
#

anyway, answer is: assa mastery uses whitelist. only rogue skills on that list. explanation done.

shrewd night
royal lantern

we need more offical whisp emotes on this server

400x in p1 i mean ofc

It's 650 I think. If you check progstats we are the little nudge all the way to the right

650 pulls

that was my first real mythic tier btw

I got a regular one and vendored it to trigger my guild

My friend got amunthul's wisdom

I legit was in all heroic gear that got titan forged to mythic ilvl, joined a mythic guild that was progging on mythic argus, and killed in that gear

uncut echo
#

But I won the battle that mattered

low girder
#

I only ever saw one of those

#

And it dropped in a sale OMEGAKEKW

gray crest
#

So as you can see, I have a history of popping in at the end of the tier to kill the end boss, since it has happened 3 times now (if we kill Raz)

gusty mirage

boomer spec channel discussing 18 tiers ago

ironic

marble hemlock
#

i mean it wasnt impossible

#

it just gave you a comeback mechanic

#

if you got knocked off

low girder
#

Meanwhile dhs cackling

marble hemlock
#

with how awful that fight was in general, it was a nice skill to have

low girder
#

Also didn't they just make raz which was basically impossible for a priest without an evoker to carry them

#

Until nerfs

#

Not that surprising

royal lantern
#

need 1 evoker for every priest

low girder
#

Thought they did a while ago

royal lantern
#

only way to change that, would be removing all winds except 1 lol

#

priest has nothing except warlock gate

marble hemlock
#

they can run

#

you live just running

#

for like

#

first 3 or even 4 winds now

royal lantern
#

did they reduce the knockback?

marble hemlock
#

twice, yes.

#

although first one was barely noticeable

royal lantern
#

missed that one then

#

my bad

limber lion
#

Argus S-tier
G'huun dogshit tier (stupid boss with stupid mechanics and ugly landscape)
Jaina A-tier (fun boss, very thematical, too much running and freeze mechanic aids)
Azshara C-tier (tiny room with dumb mechanics only solvable with weak auras)
N'zoth B-tier (pretty thematical and fun fight, pumping Psychus was dank)

Sire A-tier (p1 bad, otherwise great)
Sylvanas C-tier (very cool, probably the coolest setting and landscape - too bad the fight is FUCKING BORING and long as shit. P1 and p2 dogshit)
Jailer B-tier (not very exciting, pretty simple boss all in all. very scripted.)

Raszageth B-tier (p1 can suck my nuts, otherwise kinda aight. wings too large, also personally hate fighting MASSIVE FUCKING dragons, humanoids are so much better. Broodkeeper followed by p1 raszageth killed the tier for me ngl)

#

Yeh Argus still best boss

marble hemlock
#

nope

#

you forgot a boss

limber lion
#

I only take something before Argus as an acceptable answer

marble hemlock

who was better

uunat best boss

limber lion

Didn't do uu'nat

so couldn't say

marble hemlock

council and uunat both were better bosses

than any of the final bosses of the last 6 tiers

That whole raid is my aesthetic to a T

limber lion

its all in your head seli

few people progged it when it was current though

devout drift
royal lantern

crucible was not real

hardest, actually still killable boss*

ye

i dont even remember

Didn't most of the rwf people just skip that tier

no?

no most killed it

rip pallies and priests on winds

low girder
limber lion

and that they did

marble hemlock

"slam"

royal lantern
# gusty mirage I mean rasz was similar

atleast for raz you can work against it by having the NEW SHINY CLASS THAT CAN PREVENT THE MECHANIC FOR A TEAMMATE in your team

then it was like "fuck you priests, go void elf"

limber lion

:-D

gusty mirage
#

I'm just a fan of them designing fights around class utility

royal lantern
#

a fight needing a evoker is less shity designed than a fight needing you to do a faction and a race change imo oxi dracthyr_kek

marble hemlock
#

nice comp

low girder
gusty mirage
#

I mean I disagree, if your healers don't want to play an evoker

#

they'd have to boost one

#

and then the entire guild has to gear it

#

it's literally the same shit

royal lantern
#

man oxi, it litearlly was the deathblow to alliance raiding

gusty mirage
#

no alliance raiding was dead well before KJ homie

royal lantern
#

like bruh, ToT was the first wave, KJ was the kick in the kidney

#

nothing left after KJ

marble hemlock
#

but yeah crucible was nice cuz it was just an added tier

#

there was no splitraiding or anything

#

everybody went in with ideal chars

royal lantern
marble hemlock
#

was a very level playing field

gusty mirage
#

increases in designs around class utility should make you upset

#

because your utility is a 3% DR poison no one notices

royal lantern
#

im so dissapointed in blizzard now also starting to make spec based utility

gusty mirage

I don't even run it on my side for rasz

there's no shot someone at blizzard thinks we want a haste vers dagger

you could argue pvpers

#

we got nerfed on hc logs

#

and we're good on hc rn

#

so uh

#

means we are good

gusty mirage
#

honestly the worst nerf was putting KB on a choice node with dtb

#

and it wasn't even a numbers nerf

stiff geode
#

Of all 3 specs where would yall put them on a scale of 1 to 10 for rotation complexity?

#

If anyone here is familiar with all 3 that is.

gusty mirage
#

that's a very subjective topic

#

assassination is at its core the same shit it was 10 years ago

#

but with like

#

6 new buttons

stiff geode
#

Yeah I know it is, can be hard.

gusty mirage
#

sub rotationally, especially in aoe, is very straight forward

#

but performing well requires a good grasp of everything

#

there's a bunch of little things you can do to maximize dps and sub's rotation is easier to brick

#

which destroys your damage

#

and I have legitimately no clue how outlaw plays rn

#

haven't touched it since SL

vestal wren
#

complexity does not mean difficultly

#

outlaw requires a lot of split second decisions

#

what can be very difficult

stiff geode
#

Bricking sounds no good at all. I was thinking about trying out another spec at some point but that requires a lot of time and effort xD

gusty mirage
#

yeah I mean if you just follow the core concepts of sub

#

you'll be alright

#

it's in a pretty good spot right now

#

quite fun to play too

stiff geode
#

šŸ¤” Yeah I've heard outlaw was the most difficult

sly bloom
#

I can play both outlaw and sub pretty well

#

But I suck at sin

#

Lmao

gusty mirage
sly bloom
#

Like do I just spam envenom or do you need to pool energy more

#

Idk

gusty mirage
#

you legit just press everything on CD

#

nothing matters anymore

sly bloom
#

Spec just doesn't register with my boomer brain

gusty mirage
#

hold exsang & puzzlebox for the 4minute deathmark

#

and then slam everything on cd again

#

for another 2 minutes until deathmark and vanish are off cd

#

rinse and repeat until you're fully asleep or the boss is dead

#

whichever happens first

stiff geode
#

I only pool if I'm low energy and see a bleed needs refreshed soon

gusty mirage
#

yeah assassination is at 54apm right now

#

you rarely have to pool anything anymore

#

just overflowing with energy

#

compared to the past

vestal wren
#

i feel like this is the case for all 3

stiff geode
#

Packed with energy exile, packed! With energy

vestal wren
#

outlaw is the only spec that rly likes the high apm

sly bloom
#

I haven't really played sin since early bfa

#

When you ran triple shrouded suffocation

gusty mirage
sly bloom
#

And pumped

gusty mirage
#

every single patch we get further and further away from what sub and assassination used to be

vestal wren
#

i think the problem is that assassianiton just wasn't designed for high apm

#

subtlety i feel is okay

gusty mirage
#

ya thats the problem though

vestal wren
#

but the between dance phases feel meh

gusty mirage
#

it feels just "okay"

#

it's getting to a good spot again though

#

so that's good

#

whereas assassination is trying to be a higher apm version of the same spec from 10 years ago

sly bloom
#

Didn't exsang used to be a 45s cd

#

Now it's 3min

gusty mirage
#

yes

sly bloom
#

Cringe

gusty mirage
#

exsang at 45s

#

was like

#

more dps than our capstones

#

it's also an 80% speed up

#

instead of 100%

sly bloom
#

Yeah man idk

#

Blizz class balance p weird

vestal wren
#

exsang as capstone with higher impact a good or terrible idea

gusty mirage
#

performance wise

#

good

#

gameplay wise

#

awful

thorny pond
#

DTB higher up the tree, KB and Sang as capstones

gusty mirage
#

dtb in the trashcan

#

just throw it away

#

throw exsang in the garbage too

thorny pond
#

Sure, but KB with DTB would be fun before they nerf that interaction

gusty mirage
#

not like dtb would change how you play kingsbane in any way

#

it'll just make the number higher

thorny pond
#

That's all I want man, big numbers

gusty mirage
#

may I introduce you to our friend sub rogue? KEKL

vestal wren
#

its funny oxi

storm onyx
#

Then they don’t actually need to work together, just tuned well

#

If ever

#

…

vestal wren
#

because from what i gather most of the new talents don't rly appeal

gusty mirage
#

deathmark is cool

vestal wren
#

whisp did talk earlier about removing DM

gusty mirage
#

IC is fineish

#

but doesn't do anything at all

vestal wren
#

you want to get rid of DTB

gusty mirage
#

except save you a few globals of ramp

#

ya dtb is miserable to play

storm onyx
#

Why?

gusty mirage
#

because it doesn't do anything

#

at all

#

it just lets you apply an extra poison of each type

thorny pond
#

If the 2nd poison had some extra interaction like Cev said, that'd be fun

storm onyx
#

Not everything needs to be an ā€œactiveā€ talent

thorny pond
#

but yea, Oxi you are 100% correct

storm belfry
vestal wren
#

not sure

#

i think the idea would be to introduce something more exciting

storm belfry
#

I see

thorny pond
#

If our big CD is ST only, then there needs to be talents to augment it

vestal wren
#

i personally don't play sin enough to have a hard opinion

#

DM seems to me like it does fairly well

storm belfry
#

I have been dusting off outlaw smoge

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

DTB for me is just boring, main problem might be that it locks away so many other talent choices

silk bane
storm belfry
#

I know ppl hate it but I loved sepsis TE_Shrug

storm onyx
#

If there were better interaction along the tree, it would not have felt dry, dtb isnt the issue

silk bane
#

like I remember puzzle box + pi on all my KB's and got like a rank 2-3 sin parse on terros at the time. it felt amazing. then we went dtb, kb died, no more pi, no more happiness for me.

vestal wren
storm onyx
#

Tbf, I like that its not a spam fest build

storm onyx
vestal wren
#

it was obviouse to me when i saw the change

storm onyx
#

AP turned out to be a dud

vestal wren
#

and i am not a sin main

storm onyx
#

It was a hasty attempt to fix aoe with a bad path in the end

vestal wren
#

maybe the direction is not too bad

#

just needs more iteration

storm onyx
#

We may hope

gusty mirage
#

they wanted us to be able to take dtb and IC in keys

#

but they were worried that KB+DTB would be too strong

storm onyx
#

Maybe something is cooking */sigh

gusty mirage
#

so they slapped AP where KB was

#

yeah I mean AP doesn't suck

#

AP's location is what sucks

#

like that is not a capstone

#

at all

#

in any scenario ever

silk bane
#

i dont understand why AP is assumed to be a capstone level of power and why its capped at 5 targets. huh

vestal wren
#

just wait for the AP buffs

storm onyx
#

I guessed more tweaks would come after it went live, like a KB tune, Ap target, some interaction, it just stopped there

vestal wren
gusty mirage
dusky granite
#

Yeah, I thought Tiny Toxic Blade should just get AP added since it currently makes no sense with its ā€œhigh tierā€ position (and is never going to be taken) in the tree, and give another capstone.

gusty mirage
#

blizzard too busy buffing BM hunter

#

sorry

storm onyx
#

Funny is, if they wanted to keep the build versatility, they would tune KB as they moved it; they obviously knew it will lose dmg with the change. Thats just meh

#

Just don’t understand why they didn’t

uncut echo
#

Uncap ic uncap ap

#

Wonder how new tier set will affect cleave 2-4 targets, guess it will bump rupture as it should be, if it stays that is. I would be happy if we cleave as used to

Hey guys, my guild is currently working in Dathea M with the 1platform strat so I'm trying to squeeze as much DPS as possible ST. However after our first night of tries I was expecting a little bit more.

If anyone has the time, could you take a look at the logs and see if there is anything that catches your eye? I am thinking for example saving shiv for thistle tea, try not to overlap elaborate planning or envenom buffs if it can be avoided...

here are the full logs https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Qm8n6kvMY4bN3TCj#boss=2635&difficulty=5&wipes=1&type=damage-done&source=1
and our best try https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Qm8n6kvMY4bN3TCj#type=damage-done&source=1&fight=31

Also since the fight time is 5min max, I am not saving vanish+dm, but using it on cd so it's back by 4min.

Any other suggestions? I am running out of ideas

Why does fan of knives suck

Because things with a once in a lifetime chance of happening like pressing it with 15 targets around and getting 2cp happen multiple times in a dungeon

#

Wow % chances of happening aren’t real

fathom hound

WHy is Shuriken Storm just better in everyway

vestal wren
#

is it this hour again

#

when we try to make assassination more like subtlety?

fathom hound
#

Yes

gaunt moat
#

Give us replicating shadows 🄸

vague widget
#

I just think for a spec named assassination we are particularly awful at killing a single target.

wary ice
#

What if we made it so envenom did more damage per target hit by fok

#

Could call it like dagger combo or something

fathom hound
#

Too much priority dmg

wary ice
#

😦

vague widget
#

I'm surprised PB doesn't have any interactions based on poisons used. Bad take perhaps?

eager sorrel
fathom hound
#

"Fan of knives has a chance to make your next CT cast with 7 CP and instantly deal any remaining CT bleed damage"

#

Could be fun

eager sorrel
fathom hound
#

CT doesnt do that much dmg as is does it?

make crimson tempest stack up to 3 times

Sin doesnt need more ramp

That's black powder at home 🄲

violet jackal

eager sorrel
#

It is back lol

fathom hound
#

Yeah pretty sure we CT in st with new tier

#

But whispyr said it was cooking

fossil garnet
eager sorrel
fathom hound
#

huh envenom does 16.5k, CT does 11k + 14k over time

fossil garnet
#

Ye but envenom procs PB

#

which is the same dmg

#

on st

fathom hound
#

so 17k + a 50% chance to do 13k

fossil garnet
#

I just dont want that shit in ST

#

tbh

fossil garnet
#

the only time they changed our playstyle in the last 4 years (in somewhat of an interesting way) we got CT for st dps so couldnt be less interested in that cringe spell

rotund wagon
#

I mean why not though. Plenty of room for another finisher in st. Other classes are so great because they can aoe and ST at the same time. Why not have a st button do some aoe.

fossil garnet
#

just make something else cool

#

like dont bring backe the same garbage boring stuff as we always get

rotund wagon
#

You can have your st and aoe be separate or you can be good in more scenarios

fathom hound
#

Lets make exsang turn us into a blood demon and we shoot blood out of our eyes. Call us "Blood Hunters"

rotund wagon
#

I would rather be good in more scenarios

fossil garnet
#

I rather play something "new" than the same variation that has returned since tier was removed

#

its not like sin is already one of the least innovative specs, we also get the same modifier to our rotation every time they change it

#

its like they arent even trying lol

fathom hound
#

I jsut want all these usueless talents removed. Twist the knife, sepsis, doomblade, master assasssin, AP, all bad

fossil garnet
#

since those are fillers

fathom hound
#

and systematic failure

fossil garnet
#

and we havent had anyhting else in history like we have everything we have always been except that there isnt any KB cdr

rotund wagon
fossil garnet
rotund wagon
#

And yeah it would add it to the st rotation if taken likely but there’s plenty room in the rotation we aren’t exactly pressed for globals

fossil garnet
#

Like DTB was the "easier" and more "casual" build

#

KB was the more "interesting/diff" build

rotund wagon
#

Yeah

fossil garnet
#

now we all need 1 braincell to apply all our poisons and press mutilate + envenom

rotund wagon
#

I would just like to have access to an aoe button without having to go all in on it. Because the specs that can do that are favored for more content for obvious reasons

fossil garnet
#

ye thats reasonable

fathom hound
#

Could be cool to have shiv spread KB to another target ot something

fossil garnet
#

nah

#

the problem is if they make us interesting

#

we become op

#

and then they prune

fathom hound
#

Im surprised assassination isnt more like Fire's mastery Ignite

fossil garnet
#

and we become nothing again

fathom hound
#

Where our bleed dmg "spills" over onto aoe targets

fossil garnet
#

if deathmark spread bleeds id be ok with that as a talent

gaunt moat
fathom hound
#

2 min aoe cd 🤮

fossil garnet
#

ye but if we could spec CT+DM spread

#

for raids

#

and then IC for dgs

fathom hound
#

Just make CT a 25 sec cd like glaive tempest and have it spread bleeds

fossil garnet
#

they just made sin rlly weird by moving KB

#

prob the dumbest decision

#

ive seen

#

they couldve put AP where TTB is and keep KB

storm belfry
#

I love this chat

fathom hound
#

They should have just not changed the tree

signal badger
#

That would make us way too strong

#

We will never get kb and dtb

fossil garnet
#

HUH

#

dtb?

fathom hound
fossil garnet
#

never mentioned dtb

rotund wagon
#

Well shadow had a very similar IC mechanic with shadow crash. And on ptr they changed its cd so they can actually have full uptime of their dots in aoe. Maybe something close isn’t an absurd dream someday

fossil garnet
#

so it wouldnt change anything

signal badger
# fossil garnet never mentioned dtb

If they kept kb where it was while also allowing us to grab two capstones it would have made us too strong, that is why they moved kb and made it a choice node

fossil garnet
#

xD

#

w/e

storm belfry
spice spire
signal badger
#

They made a change to the number of talents required to take dtb allowing us to grab it and another capstone.

fossil garnet
#

Yes ik

#

but if they DIDNT

#

we couldve had AP where TTB is

#

and KB where it was

storm belfry
craggy oak
#

also keeping KB there would meen it would keep zoldyck 3 point node hostage forever no?

Are we getting more talent points in 10.1?

fossil garnet

prob not

#

unless im missing critical information

gaunt moat

No unless they raise level cap. Which has never happened mid expansion.

But.. they can reduce cost of multi-point nodes

the two 3 point nodes could afford to be 2 point nodes

better X dps is nice to have as a 3min burst full ST spec in raids

vestal wren
spice spire
#

It matters if there’s an execute fight which there kind of wasn’t this tier

vestal wren
#

raz mabye early on

#

but by now, that isn't relevant anymore

spice spire
#

It didn’t phase specifically at execute range. You just kind of did the thing

#

And if you were there, you were there

gaunt moat
#

You said "intresting".
Half our talents are +x%.
I just don't see it as intresting.

And like @spice spire just said, the benefit was not exploitable.

fossil garnet
#

KB is interesting

#

DTB is not

#

idk

signal badger
#

It was interesting

spice spire
#

Interesting is subjective

#

But it’s just a button you press and it does damage

#

And you hold shiv for

#

That’s kind of it

raven knoll
#

its interesting in how it does its damage

fossil garnet
#

thank you

fathom hound
#

Thats like saying Breath of SIndragosa is jsut a button you push and it does dmg

spice spire
#

I mean it is

verbal mantle
ember mural
spice spire
#

It doesn’t effect the play pattern much at all

fossil garnet
#

every button is a button you push and it does dmg

spice spire
#

You’re still bleeding, envenoming and doing your thing

fossil garnet
#

its an interesting button in itself

raven knoll
#

but you are right its a button you press and it does damage in terms of interaction it is no different than envenom.

gaunt moat
raven knoll
#

But I like the effect and the stacking

spice spire
#

They moved to kb

fossil garnet
#

KB + zoldyck is more interesting than DTB

#

that was the initial argument

vestal wren
#

i don't think having passive talents is bad, as long as there are some good key talent points to choose between

spice spire
#

Which is a boomer tinted ability imo.
I didn’t play then so I don’t have a weird fixation on it

vestal wren
#

i think in general, we just need some more new higher impact choices on all 3 specs

spice spire
#

So I think kb is fine as a button. But nothing ground breaking or insanely interesting

#

Just another CD

#

I can agree with that

fossil garnet
#

idek anymore

#

xD

spice spire
#

I’m definitely not an AP fan, I’ll say that ICANT

fossil garnet
#

we all agree that its bland

vestal wren
#

would you want the old AP back?

fathom hound
#

I dont think you EVER take AP

gaunt moat
spice spire
raven knoll
vestal wren
#

yes

spice spire
vestal wren
raven knoll
#

oof

spice spire
#

There are a lot of ā€œfiller talentsā€ that I could live without

#

Bring back agonizing

gaunt moat
#

If it would replace flying daggers, i don't think it would be such a niche. it would be good on m+ too without taking away as much from ST

spice spire
#

It’s definitely way too weak currently as a capstone

vestal wren
#

ironically i think AP would not be terrible

#

in the tree as a single target oriented point

gaunt moat
#

we already have like 3 other talents that make bleed do 20% more damage fuu hah

signal badger
#

That might push us even deeper into dtb but it would be a nice talent

signal badger
#

It would work on things other than bleeds like envenoms and such so it would have value

gaunt moat
fossil garnet
#

KB spread on multiple targets couldve been cool

dark token
#

All the bleed dmg things don't scale well

fossil garnet
#

something that interacts with KB

dark token
#

We need a multiplier on a multiplier like ww monk's had in shadowlands

dark token
#

How is that anything like what I said

fossil garnet

I don't think KB needs to spread.

neither AP nor IC should be capstones. they should come up 1-2 tiers earlier, with the subseqeuent talents further boosting its usefulness in certain niches

Guys it's okay for Feral to do good AoE, since we're the ST spec, and feral doesn't have that much ST
