fire's 4 pc got reworked already
Yeh
multiple 4ps got reworked
Back on the hopium
I know the hopium is gonna be the end of me
monk finally doesnt have a 3 hit proc 
i wait for the day, where we can skill poison bomb and CT
with CT having a chance to proc PB
monk still sussy requiring auto attacks
Idk if that the solution we want
If CT wasn’t in single target before that might as well say you should do it
wowhead is a good audience for it
wow devs actually read it
unlike forums
or discord
inb4 wow dev doesn't read the post because it's too long
so many times if a things makes it to wowhead
but i was cringe and died on last boss cause i was greedy and booned adds
insta nerfed 5 mins later
yes.
it was very apparent when a week after they wrote an article about how buffing BM by 5% more with the bow nerf
they actually tuned down the buff.
thats usually bugs or unintended shit though
Okay mr Soviet, you’re correct as always
like actual feedback
Very cool
i would imagine they at least get a general sense of the community feel from discord
they arent reading every single message because that would take an actual degen
like im doing hyperbole. sure they read discord or forums
but its much much much more likely to see a change after a wowhead post
instead of a forum or discord post
wowhead is curated so i would imagine it can be 'trusted' more than some random comments in a class discord though
i dont think you can deny that @balmy condor
exactly

My mom told me if I don’t have anything nice to say to someone, I shouldn’t say it
i mean just cause you disagree with me you dont have to say a mean thing lol
can just state your point of view of why im wrong etc
i wont get offended, promise
wowhead is obviously more immediate dude
its a headline
discord and forums are more long term
I simply do not have the time to argue with you about pointless shit
I appreciate you

but like youre acting like they ignore
everything that isnt wowhead
when really wowhead is just making them aware of stuff that NEEDS to be eliminated ASAP
like do you really think tier set feedback and that kind of shit has much more impact than discord/forums
they probably get the same answers from all 3
it just condenses what the community thinks
if they read this discord theyd waste so much of their day with scrolling past infighting and mutiny
if they read this discord they would change sin in -1 days
thats
not how dev works is it
how many different priest posts and community people have begged for healer interrupt
and door of shadows
also its more fun to doomer than give good feedback into the void
also all of their MDI casters are boomkins
see how well it's working for boomkins?


purple class good
we know our dev reads this discord
or at least
the guy who has done dev work for us
him not doing anything is clearly not related to whether he reads our shit or not
like
I know what you're thinking, aoe/cleave heavy tier
maybe its cause boomkin ST is good
WOW
i do think that not having a particularly popular and vocal rogue (assss specifically) content creator / streamer does hinder us getting reworks etc
THEIR DOOMING IS WORKING GUYS

so maybe you guys can ramp it up a bit
couldnt disagree more
Joke's on you, I play a Mage and we always doom and gloom 
inwhich regard
having a content creator definitely does not do anything
not really
unless your eyes don't let you read statistics
they're literally mediocre in aoe/cleave
like how many changes have warriors gotten lately they have the biggest content creator out there
ok yeah boomkins are pretty dogshit ye
but its okay guys
but i think sin is in a worse spot
believe
skill issue
idk, i saw a priest make a video about 10.1 and in the next patch cycle most of his suggestions from that video were what they did
I watch whispyr and seli all the time though and nothing changes
one priest making the video couldnt possibly have more impact than general sentiment in discord/wowhead posts/forum posts
It’s true, I saw the video, it was made by the voice of god himself
I couldn’t even see the video
It was too glorious for mortal eyes
he must be nzoth
the true void priest
hes actually been controlling blizzard the whole time
Imagine a random content creators having more power over spec design than the actual designers working on the spec

Wow the new open source game by blizzard entertainment
like idk i think most of the things that changed for priest were pretty popular
maybe not all of them
but definitely like shadow crash cd
that's not what im saying. rather that having popular content creators out there spreading word of what htey want would definitely help
and probably combining mind flay and mind spike
dumb question
It wouldn’t
can you upgrade the stones if they are in the ring
i think it does the same job as wowhead articles, it just condenses feedback
maybe this guy puts his own spin on it
Our feedback is heard constantly
is anybody running something outside of Echoing Thunder for the new ring? assuming that crazy interaction gets fixed and it's not bis... but trying to have 100% uptime on movement feels really weird trying to play around it
Having an angry streamer yelling about it might actually hurt more
it's harder to ignore it when our feedback goes beyond rogues and other classes begin to understand
It’s not recommended, check pins
What
are theorycrafters even approached by blizz
a hot take if you will, but bliz will(should) make changes that have the largest impact on the game for the better. and if other class mains see the problen of rogues and understand that. would it not make blizard faster to act?
because at the moment almost unanimously, anyone that isn't a rogue doesn't think we're in a bad way
i feel like this one of the more put-together discords out there for classes
Sometimes
and the complaints are pretty well understood by the people who "lead" the class
other classes think rogue is op because of the start of the tier
How many elementium is it to fully upgrade the stones?
6 for just the ones you put in your rings
2 each
20 of the ring dust each stone you want to max, you get 6 by smashing stones
Dope ty
i thought it was 10x stones 25x silken gemdust
the Unstable Elementium yeah
Oh
I was only gonna upgrade the dungeon ones in the pin
Elementium
i thought the current twilight thing made it bis for everything
I was gonna take whispyrs word and not mess w that cause it’s likely not working as intended
Idk
safer bet
I guess. I could upgrade that one too
i dont think you even need to upgrade it except for stam
Tbh with you as a class it’s not like rogue is stopping you killing anything or pushing, we just don’t compete with the very top end of damage vs buffed specs. Hotter take: we’re all biased about our own specs, moonkin players especially
we dont care about the damage numbers that much
more so the hot garbage that is the palystyle, specifically in aoe
pure dps classes get it ruff sometimes
sometimes the only option is to reroll
or spec sub
(or just deal with it if you're not doing super high end content because it's not that big of a deal for midcore)
Disc priests too
It’s like the difference between sub / OL and sin in keys is noticeable, but I wouldn’t think that sin in the grand scheme of things is utterly useless, just weaker. Think like 100 vs 75-80 performance
Vile
no
that would just make sense
and your comment reinforces the issue, people see big numbers and think all is fine. but the spec fundamentally is wrong
this is blizzard we're talking about
I’m so glad I asked lmfao
Our tuning in aoe is on the lower end for sure, this is no secret
@gusty mirage did some intense ring grinding today after raid
sub isnt that far off from our ST while being strong everywhere else, which is my main complaint
yeah man
insane grind
walked in
i was on 2 accounts
solved the rune ward chest
going in a circle through this massive cavern
killing mobs for an hour
rares give keys on second kills too btw
meanwhile i had to roll 15 times for the fucking shitty movement gem that we dont even use
its okay
Core of the issue is the talent trees, we have a lot of st nodes while inherently this isn’t always bad our aoe nodes are either costly to take or just not that powerful compared to sub
are you not using blood shadow arcane?
2 rogues 2 rings
🤡
we're a ST tuned dot spec, which inherently means they need to limit our ability to apply those dots to mass targets. it's why something like garrote is capped to maintaining 4 in total at once.
IC helps the issue, but mob count can either make it a waste or not enough
and because alot of our power is within a st dot, having to spec aoe you lose that st damage, making those dots weaker again
Blizzard turned their back on this idea that x spec can mainly st or aoe (see feral, shadow)
they can adjust damage numbers all they want, the interaction is inherently flawed
Or if they are maintaining this archaic stance that sin isn’t allowed to be good at anything but pure ST they should let us be very well tuned at it
except ww 
feelswwman
Yeah WW has one spec and its AoE only 
WW in nathria was actually pretty good ST
I don't think going back whole expansions helps the point
so much gamba today I remembered legion PB 
i mained ww in nathria because our team needed a monk, and of course i get flamed for fotm
Honestly one of sin’s core issues is we don’t have aoe cool-downs
At this point IC / AP feel more like pre requisites to AoE in their respective builds
Without them we’re not even in the race
thats never going to change because every other class hates rogues
i wouldn't mind being gimped in aoe if we were at least standout at ST
"looks good in m+ and pvp" = rogue not bad
we do next tier 
I’m coping that they’ll change the tier
same, I do not want to do m+ with that shit 
Atleast DM will actually do something in aoe vs now
quick bro dm the nokhud totem, its immune so u proc the 4pc faster bro
Wouldn’t mind if they gave sin strong funnel instead of real aoe (think pre BP, pre the bfa / legion finisher amp from shuriken storm funnel sub)
idk if its a hot take but I feel like the legion PB with KB cdr made aoe feel a lot smoother
Maybe, but it was one of the most warped rotations because of it
can't say i remember it fondly but i guess it worked
Fishing for a proc for ALL your damage
it got hotfix nerf i think
No good
:(((((
That’s not the combo
ye but that spec made me feall in love
what exactly am i looking at
@WarcraftDevs If you combine the Wild Spirit, Storm Infused and Prophetic Twilight stones on the PTR you get a nice (almost) infinite DPS combo. The DPS stone procs the healing stone which procs the DPS stone and so on. Seems good.

Legion was wild, blood of the exsanguinated proc in opener? W/e that wierd non poison poison was
thats from like
over a week ago
lol a twitter link, have managed to avoid clicking those for a while
i'll click this
what's this
no, fuck you elon
shhhhh im prepping for 10.0.7 its launching in 4 days
you want me to pay money to have a baseline level of security?

kek
tbf it's just the text mfa
you still have that. also, this is assassination, not offtopic. the daily "bad elon" whine-fest is over in #off-topic
fair, just living in the moment
idk if it's just rose-tinted glasses but i remember legion fondly for all 3 specs
for sin though, yeah PB was...
when being a goober and competing with friends in dungeons, i didnt like that my performance from pull to pull would vary so much from PB procs
I was happy-ish to move away from that. in hindsight, weird feelings about RNG aside, i agree it was a smooth-ish point in assassination history
if smooth is code for "the spec works"
i can't remember CT ever feeling good
cant say I disliked it at all in m+ (yes raid was a "little" casino like) but overall it did was smooth and did a lot on both aoe and st
I really dont like ct, if I could I would play the old style over current
even with the rng
its not like there isnt any rng now
outlaw was pretty disgustingly bad in legion. well, not all of legion, only the time after the first 2 weeks when they clapped all artifact traits for the spec and nerfed it by like 15%
i liked legion outlaw
ye same
also imagine casino PB funnel
50% chance to proc pb, 50% chance to do more ST dmg
hehe
yea, imo all rogue specs were better back then 
could also be that legion was an exciting expansion to play and felt neato
it was such a huge step from wod
didnt play wod but played all patches since 7.1
bfa felt like it was trying to be "hey guys legion was really cool lets do it again, except this time worse and with shittier and even more confusing storytelling"
but at least we got shrouded suffocation

Yeah that got hotfixed on ptr before the patch launched
only good thing since legion is SS, that is a good talent

i am despair
pb complaints in legion were and still are valid
it's just that the spec is overall so much worse now comparatively that we look back on those days fondly
but at least i have something to complain about on the internet. it's important to have that in your life. 
Ehhh it was op for week 1 of en, turbo nerfed after, but if you had the original green skins legendary it actually was top in tov and EN even post nerf
You just had to luck into that legendary. Same with sub boots making sub really good first two tiers but garbage otherwise
Whereas sin could work with any of em
hey guys I have a friend who does really low dps as assassin rogue, is there a place I can drop a log here for some advice?
!logs
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/
Man I got super lucky
Got all the stones within an hour
Even the ones before the new combination was posted lol
Damn
Legion sin was love
Bro this ring is crazy lmao
10.6% upgrade to OL ST and 7.3% for sub ST in raz spec
waiting on sin sims
Waiting on hotfix nerfs

I’m stockpiling my gem dust
I grouped into an m+ with a rogue from a server I’ve never heard of yesterday
Was wild
Shu’halo
Did you know that was a server
That an oceanic?
Neptulon? lolol
Gesundheit
sounds Samoan
Bis girlscout cookie
i'm a peanut butter patties / tagalongs whatever they're called fan
thin mints in the freezer also so good
"The 2023 Girl Scout cookie season started Friday, Feb. 17, and ends March 19."
dude FUCK
Gesundheit
Allergy season man
^^
this ragweed man
gets the worst of me
also makes me rag on people in assassination

That's a name i haven't heard in a while
I will always remember that server fondly
Where ring nerfs I wanna upgrade my stuff Madge
moved from bloodhoof to eitrigg when they opened up the free transfers
One of the best orc characters
But they never did anything with him after mop
Oxi the human priest
its even faster
bis healer
Big
at this point nova would've been a good war chief
wow's lore is more dead than my ambition to make the regulars in RH like me
wish they never killed Varok off
One of the few og characters they could bring back to push for more peace between the factions
we were on a first name basis
Tirion+eitrigg bromance 
Me and Go’el go way back bro
deadnaming the earth-warder smh
isn't eitrigg still in the game?
isn't he like hanging out with the blackrocks or some shit?
Son of Ka-el
wdym
he fought with saurfang
in bfa
Did he?
I vaguely remember it
Oh yeah
during the loyalist/revolutionary bullshit they stuffed down our throats
Woah can’t say that bro
just banana him
like zine did to shiennar earlier today
I’m gonna hit him with the bazinga
Looks like it's part of the orc heritage quest
Varok Orcbama
Finally got grieftorch and now my icon is simming higher with the ring 
add a moonkin to ur group to increase grieftorch dps
so how good is assassination at the moment?
Good enough for 99% of the playerbase
Considerably weaker in aoe compared to the other two and doesn’t hold a strong niche in single target for the 1%
:C
Do i play maplestory now to be good in assass too?
what about pinestory tho?
I've never touched maplestory 
I was gonna say some vile shit

self restraint
u should
Did we get set changes i heard some classes got

x D
At this point blizz is just trolling us
There are no 10.1 changes planned for rogue, thats my assumption.
Making warlocks op is priority obviously
S> Ilbis 40M @@@@@@@@@@@
ilbis are on vendor L bozo
shows how long it's been since i played
Imagine willingly playing maplestory 
I do, constantly

Both sound rough ngl
maplestory good though
I've only played 2
Why is there such a big correlation between ass players and weebdom
there's a reason they shut down maplestory 2 servers after a year and a half lets just say that
Oh fair. Makes a lot of sense
Might give it a go
After D4 beta though
maplestory is korean, not japanese, L + cringe + don't shit on people's fun or I'll shit on you
When u said ass players I thought u meant bad
No shitting, was just wondering
And I was wondering how you knew I was
I just ment the specc
but yeh dunno
Don't put words in my mouth. Tyvm
I think there's plenty of weebs
guy could be considered a weeb
and he's the biggest outlaw otp I know


Rogue players low key play the class to live out their naruto fantasies from when they were a child
And by players I mean me
I haven't watched naruto, but I have watched monster musume (don't google that)
kinda real for that
weebs everywhere, just assassin has somewhere else they'd rather be than in wow atm
any data on the interaction of prophetic twilight stone and desirous blood stone and 1 dmg stone?
Gotta escape the harsh reality of an ass player somehow
@ing you because the correct answer is Polt
yeh the data is that it's fucking crazy strong
Understandable
twilight is oppressive atm
damn whats the best dmg stone with it?
humming
did never hear about monster museum
consider yourself lucky
it's not a proud watch
do we have bug confirmation or intended
Watched it for the plot
for sure
nothing yet
the bug/intended synergy works on aoe situations,, no?
I dont think
maybe i start to get old, but my grip with most of the new animes is that essentially everything now is "MMO" or "reborn/reincarnated in a mostly rpg world"
it's just blood + twilight
so
not really an aoe interaction
the gems all seem kinda shit for aoe
just across the board
they're much stronger in single target generally
Isekai is the term old man
how strong are people finding it on ST. for instance on assa. like 10%? ballaprk?
ah yeah the 421 signet which i also dont have haha
415
are primordial gem sims out?
yes, pins
yes
BTW I recommend Emminance im Shadow (to read but the show is not bad either)
spy x family is probably the one of the newer animes that is rly good.
Not sure if the mentioned is any good.
Spy x family is class
I like the mentioned
Depends really if u can relate to the MC
Otherwise u may find him cringe

If not that, Blue Lock is really good too
Sports one but far more interesting than you'd assume

At this point, we should just wish for everyone else to get nerfed 
Well unlikely, they are all crying so hard about their tierset being useless
Theyll prolly all get buffed 
- So do we
- Some of them already have

Dw guys
I dont see many sins crying openly outside of discord actually 
Their coming up with a sick new set for us
They just want to take their time with the fix

You know a set that was pretty good and interesting though?
Outlaw 
Crying just to cry is cringe. Sandbagging is cringe. Guess we are getting slapped for not being cringe.
Facts
On the real though Arcane has a similar issue but their tier didn't get changed
So maybe its working as intended 
Sin can still squeeze some juice. It's just hunters that are shitting on everyone else, so it feels bad to play a spec that's competing with them.
And they've also had their HP buffed now. our hunters have over 400k HP now.
somethings gotta give.
(Broodkeeper boss damage. I didn't play perfectly, but acceptable)
If next season their power level will be more in-line with everyone else, it wouldn't be as bad.
Arcane tier is the same shit as sin 😁
So ye
They addressed the issues of fire and frost somewhat, while just changing tooltip for arcane
Which seems like its like they want it to be as it is
I actually volunteered to play sub on adds
Ye exactly
Seems they just want to flatten out the damage profile which is fine
But they gotta change how they go about it
No its actually not
Burst should be a good playstyle
Many people like it way more than sustained stuff
So they shouldnt just try to flatten everyones profile
Thats just how it is now
Dances are way bigger than in SL tho
That just shows that thats their direction actually
And not just a one time balance issue
Sub and sin should be more bursty while sin also has some sustained damage. Its literally assassination, you dont assassinate someone by poking them equally over 1 hour straight
why not
Sub had a player base issue; lots of ppl were constantly complaining how spec deals no dmg out of dance. Thus Blizz created the perma-dance build which felt awful (imo)
No matter what is done there will always be ppl that will complain about it. Sometimes regardless of the percentage of ppl complaining; it gets respond
Tbh WoD sub was great
those fking outlaw players ruin every spec cus they need to spam 1button all the time or the spec is bad
8.1 was a disaster for the rogue playerbase
good thing they are also the loudest 🙂
Dunno. Legion dfa Sub was fun, they could bring that back. Had a blast with HFC Sub aswell.
The people crying loud often are either a minority or even people that dont even play it mainly after changes
bfa sub was the best sub post legion gameplay wise
but blizz decided to just nuke it out of Orbit
no 24/7dance, still meaningfull dance windows
i liked meatball sub
Atleast 10.1 tier makes noone think about how bad it feels to not have symbols for dance 
I kinda gave up on meaningful changes to sin tho. Its really early and all, but dunno
Feels like it will mostly turn out to be numbers aside from exs
i mean yes
ct buff, garrote dmg buff, maybe a kingsbane buff, the end
thats ginna be 10.1
if at all 
the way rogue gets ignored since DF launch, im not even suprised if just nothing happens at all
The arcane tooltip change matters though, i'm fairly certain they didn't realise that they'd get their entire mana pool worth dumped into that set bonus
wut
here we go
They could easily Max Stack it before with normal rotation
And it still gives an amp to your not-so-high damage window
the complaints i saw were with how clearcasting didn't let them reach it
of course the secondary amp sucks, but they start off with 15 stacks isntantly with surge
it would make more sense if the amp gave more sd than surge, so they could be incentivised to use surge as a big amp
I've seen the opposite. 😁
Anyways, the 4p is counter intuitive to their playstyle
yeah
only because of the trinket
So at this point with multiple tiers shitting on burst, I think they just dont want any
Ye and they lose sbg for the alternate trinket
Might work with irideus or what its called tho
they should make it something like it is now, but let them sling free 4 charge barrages or seomthing
🤨is it just me or a lot of tier designs are currently questionable
It’s like they are trying something but making it much worse
their aim seems to be to make you use unsused talents or to change your damage profile
Passive tier bonus with better numbers tuning might be a better idea
And just use resources to tune the damn talents 
Will have bigger impact on game play
Like all those first impressions, none of them have been all positives I believe? Except outlul
we should've gotten a shadow dance tier set
varas with the L takes like always
arent you younger then me
you can still be a kid
says the guy that almost got a mental breakdown when i told him "worldquests for travelers log, takes 15min to finish the entire thing" 
Either I've got deja vu or this same thing was said yesterday 
because varas jumps bettwen good stuff and absolutely braindead shit more often than me
I mean, if there were no differences you might aswell be the same person
You haven't seen me having a mental breakdown
Inb4 logged in as tyran in the browser and varas in the app
My mental is too strong
are there any pinned msgs about the new ring?
i know a great way to find out
ok Kek
itll tell you alllllll you need to know
yeah on phone im clueless ty
ah fair
Top right
slide the chat to the left, itll bring up the user list
I'm on phone aswell
then top of that is the pin icon
We can't slide chat no more
oh? ok thats fair, havent used it on phone in a minute
It automatically tries to reply
I know it was asked a couple times, but how do i manage pushbacks on rasz? step + step; step + gate; cloak; step + step?
boon trinket 
you have 4 pushbacks?
i go step, double step, cloak, double step
gate I leave as last resort in case I fucked up something
i see, ill try it that way thank you:)
eranog oops
So gems wasnt nerfed at the end? Maybe its intended we have some fun with overtuned stuff
wasn't nerfed yet
still possible that they nerf it now
don't think they would nerf it tho if they wouldn't today
I dont think its "broken op" in current iteration. It's supposed to be bis and its only like like 2k dps higher than previous bis combo? Would actually be shite if it was only 300 dps upgrade to previous bis and not feel exciting at all. Also we desparately need higher tuning on all of the 3 specs in single target scenarios
Rip my logs cause I ain't farming them
Hey guys!
I wrote a thread on the official EU Blizzard forum about Assassination spec:
https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/state-of-assassination-rogue-spec-raidmpve/438534
It isn't that long!
You may agree with some points or not, but I guess it's crucial to let Blizzard hear our voices. Even if you don't think alike it would be nice to actually let them know that we are not happy(or we are!) how the current spec works.
Every voice/opinion/post is worth its weight in gold!
You probably remember my earlier topic on the forum: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/lets-talk-about-the-assassination-patch-105/426732 Despite providing substantive feedback from players on how the Assassination spec works, Blizzard still hasn’t made any changes regarding how it’s played and its potential. At the moment, Assassinatio...
sadly the problem isn't that they aren't hearing us
it's that they aren't doing anything with the feedback
blizzard's doing a whole lot of listening
and a bunch of hearing
it's just no changes
retination rogue
It seems to me that I no longer have any "the next patch will surely fix it" in me and it's truly time for a break. 
lets face it, 3 weeks into 10.1 PTR and not a single note. this ship has sailed
if there was anything to write home about, realz would have teased us
its like you said, the dev time assignment is just not in rogues favor... if you compare what druids, warlocks, hunters, priests get in terms of attention
just remove assa spec and give us a healing spec instead.
yes, but this could be a consequence of tuning and early tree design issues
ret rework was a consequence of their tree/talents being in a rly bad spot
most other classes had big improvements on their trees, QoL stuff and so on
priest changes are similar
rogue is in a at least tuning wise okay spot
hence i could see how it gets less attention
turning a knob 10% up or down doesnt require any effort
getting actual functionality in there does, and thats missing.
it is the problem with high tuning
if a class performs well, it is less likely to see adjustments
why chaange somthing that works well
kind of mindset
(not saying it is the reason, hence we have no idea what blizz does, but i do think the logic is not too far off)
what they did with community council should also be done per spec, have a small council of people that know spec in and out and play it, and listen to their feedback
since numbers don't give you an actual idea if the spec works or not
but assassination has lowest represenation in wcl and keys 🙂
and if they actually listen/hear they know why
this could be pretty good
Thats probably to a certain degree a result of sub and outlaw doing as well as they do tho.
Design issue aside
nah thats 100% down to assassination playing like turd in keys
but those should be then voted by the community and not randomized. I really dont want lfr/normal raider or 1000rio people tell me the spec is fine and dont need any changes
if their knowledge is good, then it shouldn't matter what their rio is
knowledge is power
Shouldnt be voted at all. Dont want random youtube nutcases in there
Should just be the TCs
you can only define spec knowledge by how much and how well they play the spec.
let's just agree that Fuu is in there
Tbf ur a spec with 3 dps classes and 2 are doing good
You're likely going to be low priority for a lot of tuning things
you got that the other way around 
i would gladly take a 10-15% nerf but rather enjoying to play it
i just care for assassination cause i like it and play it whenever its not trolling
you wouldn't enjoy it at the bottom of the dps meter
Do I? Outlaw and Sub are doing aight
as an egg player on diurna im not top dpsing either for 40% of the fight
that's just one fight
I mean you said spec and class the wrong way around, other than that you are right
i hate the argument that i should just play a different spec because i have 2 others to choose from. mostly touted by people who never have to choose between specs for content types
by community i mean rogue discord not youtubers. Obviously I would not want those in there either
the difference is that in their case, that 1 spec changes
look at feral players for shadowlands and lot of time of bfa. Spec was dog too and they were told to play boomie
and when boomie was bad they were told to go heal or tank
it's still a shit argument, people should be able to have fun with what they want. and a cop out for a development team to say it
you have it with like nearly every class except for maybe paladins
ofc it is and i wont deny it. But sadly not only us rogues are fucked by the devs decision.
pvp players have it even worse
if bad luck they gonna wait 8 weeks again to be 4p
i'm lucky in that i enjoy sub as well, but i'm sure there are peeps that play assass or a different class or not at all
Fun does not equal bis damage
agreed, sin in keys is not fun though
🤝
I dont care if its strong or not i just want it to feel fun to play with some actuall gameplay changing talents. Right now im basically playing SL sin
if they dont change anything anyway they should atleast give us the long awaited exsanguinate rework
i have no issue with the sin ST situation. i know alot do, sure there could be updates to the rotation, but i like it for what it is (why i started playing it) but aoe is atrocious and always has been. I think alot of the issues have been amplified by this tier's fight design which 10.1 looks to be a better structure for us (assuming no add phases in mythic)
hey guys, im new to assa and rogue in general, just started doing some m10's and above was expecting my damage to ramp up as the trash lasted for longer but my dps seems really low, i kinda noticed im missing a lot of my big combo spenders and idk if thats normal. Any ideas what the issue might be?
the issue is that assa is not good in m+ 
i mean you can play it in cos pugs where the pulls aint that big anyway and you bring good utility. But any other dungeons it feels depressing to play
get dots rolling for energy, then envenom for buff and spamm ct, thats the aoe gameplay with cp
what talent capstones are you running? you will have to spec aoe in keys to do much. which will hurt your single target.
Assassination and Sub have similar secondary requirements right? Is it legit to just play Assassination in raids and use the same gear as Sub for M+? Kinda naff because I did originally like the idea of playing Assa
That's a big assumption
Identical
yeah. if it's 1 add like a prio kill though we can work with that
stats are not a real problem anymore for soec swapping
all3 have crit as the best stat(giving everyone seal fate does that to a mf)
mastery is good for assa and sub and not a troll stat anymore for outlaw
aka spec swapps are not bad cus of secondarys
tbh most fights in the raid you'd be sub anyway
I guess the nice thing with Assa-Sub is that you don't need a second set of weapons like Outlaw
Oh really? Because its kit is better suited or just because it pumps more?
The nice thing with Sin-Sub is that you dont play outlaw
real rogues have a tmog set to walk around with glaives
terros is the only pure ST fight, you can work around assass to tunnel bosses but whether or not that is the best option can vary
i dont really know what capstones are but im using the same talents and stuff as the highest rated ppl on raider.io and stuff
sub rn just does everything assa does, but better
the pure st difference is very very very small, and sub is a aoe monster, no reason to play assa at all if im honest.....
which im guessing is the AOE m+
the last row in the spec tree
DTB and carnage
Maybe I just haven't played it enough yet, but there's something about Sub that seems boring but I might be missing something
it's the static dance window and gloom spam between them
i play sin during our rasz prog, our other rogue is sub. P1 im slightly ahead of him, P1.5 he gets far ahead and during P2 I get to be really close on him again. Havent done it further yet but P2.5 and P3 should be mine too
are the "misses" thing a normal problem for rogues? i usually play frost dk and i dont remember the last time my obliterates missed
The ST difference no longer exists thanks to the ring. Pretty sure sub is better in ST now
make sure you're behind the mob
i still sim 4k dps more than the other rogue with similar gear except for me not having eranog ring and grieftorch while he does
yeah sin is good boss dam, as long as the adds die
The misses you’re noticing are auto attack misses. Any button you press won’t miss
parry is a game wide mechanic and affects all auto attacks
i do play with boon on 3rd adds tho in P1.5 which boost my damage bit more there
i.e. mutilate, envenom, etc won’t miss but can get parried
thats why i normaly say "very very small" and now its "very very very small" 🙂
P2.5 is sub teritory
Push’s ST set up sims 2k higher than my assassination set up 
And we have very similar gear
on raza, you play sub for intermission and assa for boss DMG
just sucks that the intermission is the hard Part, and boss dmg is not needed at all

Is it? I will most likely have boon up there too so I should be able to not drop far on the little ones
Its pretty good when boosting
Still need some boss dam
89k dungeon dps with only 1trinket cus i forgot to eq cct and with no DF sub gameplay experience except watching people play it and reading a guide 20min before that

can someone send my their damage breakdown from details or something so i can cross check with my stuff?
is it worth to upgrade the twilight stone? Or rather why would it make sense to upgrade it?
Okay man
Sure if you include p1 and sub holds shit for shields it can do the same dam
But if you both play for useful damage and exclude p1 its not close since you play half the fight in execute
So what trinket did you have equipped? Considering cct isnt a big baller in dungeons 
This man is actually arguing with himself 
Comparing sub rogues that are specced into aoe for intermission add damage and assassination which specs into full single target has nothing to do with my original statement
But you do you king
The only difference between "aoe spec" and st for sub is 1 talent point which is a small dps increase on st
Puzzlebox and never used it cus it was not on my bar
🙂
noticed at the final boss
Has this been discussed and I missed it?
And that while puzzle is the hidden sub m+ banger
yes
Back to scrolling then lol
pin
So twilight, blood, and humming until patched or confirmed it isn’t a bug basically then
Just use those until whatever changes ye
#tc-research message I'll save you some scrolling
people in guild are saying some hotfix went out
tfd is calling
Weird, more for me
But maybe you like to use tornado, replicating or BP on ST
I dont play tornado or replicating shadows

Only bp swap for tfd
replicating applies 2 ruptures on single target. that's why it does more damage than sin's one right? 
Yeah, dont need to argue any further on that then, saved some time 
the real reason is ; assa is more fun

What is your point even? Do you actually play tornado and replicating shadows on rasz?
i think the point is that if you specced sub for the exact same role as sin, you beat it's ST
Ok, but thats not going to happen if exclude p1 which is irelevant damage
Well its not the aoe spec
Its a mixed build for that specific fight
You basically sacrifice 1 point for basic aoe capability
must be great not changing 2 sides of your talent tree for aoe

True
Must be Nice to have to spec into different parts of the tree for different scenarios and not just play the same talents all the time
^
even though it feels shit (because other's dont have to), it's how all specs should be
sorry I thought I was in the hunter discord
We want what you have
😭
I mean I play sub too
Hunter discord as a whole, not even specific spec
Its as bland as White bread
I think rn it's objectively better to have a tree like havocs tho
Where your st can cleave
But you have to make some sacrifices to get big aoe
Too bad havoc does piss single target damage
Or just be a warlock
do you need desirous blood stone equipped for it to work ?
my guess would be you need the gem, as the twilight would not proc that one
so you'd proc the damage stone from the heals from that, but the damage from the damage stone won't proc the heal from the blood stone
at least through the twilight stone
I dont think thats what he wanted to know, tho the question is weird
assa and sub both have shit spec trees
sub is just lucky that its tuned higher rn lol, it needs work on its tree ASAP aswell
yeah but for sales and something something p1 damage
or whatever that guy was talking about
Gotta nerf it so it gets used as much as before they buffed it 
Maybe the ring was a temporary bandaid and they'll leave it in its current state
I don't think they'll fix it.
okay, so outlaw gets 8% from it. who cares?
it's not like outlaw gonna be game breaking
still in the bottom half for dmg

10% more of 65k dps not gonna brake the game
bro the numbers don't matter. you get my point
it's not worth "fixing"
Ehh depends
If they wanted the twilight stone to be more of a healer niche stone then odds are they'll nerf
if it'll be BIS in season 2, then they'll change it
If not then it may be working as intended
Dunno, they are just general stones for everyone and they are strong because they interact with eachother
Which is actually more interesting than having 3 that do their individual shit
@WarcraftDevs If you combine the Wild Spirit, Storm Infused and Prophetic Twilight stones on the PTR you get a nice (almost) infinite DPS combo. The DPS stone procs the healing stone which procs the DPS stone and so on. Seems good.
163
that was patched on tuesday
And in the grand scheme of things, like notter said, it isnt even huge
Like breaking stuff or changing the balance
If anything, weaker specs might close some of the gap
But the tweet is from 3/13, what day is it tod….
That’s the worst way to fix the weaker classes
How bad is it gonna be if Rogue is carried by the ring for .7
And so no buffs or fixes happen
Implying buffs would happen otherwise 
i know but its still funny 😛
wdym
don't you remember domination shards?
they sure helped outlaw out in 9.2
It sure is bad, but its better than getting nothing. I dont see rogue getting carried more than other classes eithee, except outlaw. We aint playin that anyways 
Frost shards burrrrrrr
they are working for the fix for rogues, there's a big sheet full of changes for both sub and assa spec tree. it's just stealthed

dont give us hope


Maybe they see how much we like the ring and the gems
So they keep throwing that at us for all of 10.1


hell yeah, I LOVE opening doors
