True, they're best at that.
but this time they actually already made some set adjustments.. so who knows.

oak tangle
#

fire's 4 pc got reworked already

balmy condor
#

Yeh

oak sky
#

multiple 4ps got reworked

balmy condor
#

Back on the hopium

gaunt moat
#

I know the hopium is gonna be the end of me

oak sky
#

monk finally doesnt have a 3 hit proc ICANT

thin gate
#

i wait for the day, where we can skill poison bomb and CT

#

with CT having a chance to proc PB

oak tangle
#

monk still sussy requiring auto attacks

balmy condor
#

Idk if that the solution we want

#

If CT wasn’t in single target before that might as well say you should do it

dark token
#

wowhead is a good audience for it

#

wow devs actually read it

#

unlike forums

#

or discord

balmy condor
#

They read those too

storm belfry
#

Just did p well in a 22 NO

oak tangle
#

inb4 wow dev doesn't read the post because it's too long

dark token
#

so many times if a things makes it to wowhead

storm belfry
#

but i was cringe and died on last boss cause i was greedy and booned adds

dark token
#

insta nerfed 5 mins later

gaunt moat
#

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.

oak sky
balmy condor
#

Okay mr Soviet, you’re correct as always

oak sky
#

like actual feedback

balmy condor
#

Very cool

oak sky
#

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

dark token
#

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

oak tangle
#

wowhead is curated so i would imagine it can be 'trusted' more than some random comments in a class discord though

dark token
#

i dont think you can deny that @balmy condor

gaunt moat
#

exactly

balmy condor
#

My mom told me if I don’t have anything nice to say to someone, I shouldn’t say it

dark token
#

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

oak sky
#

wowhead is obviously more immediate dude

#

its a headline

#

discord and forums are more long term

balmy condor
#

I simply do not have the time to argue with you about pointless shit

oak sky
#

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

oak tangle
#

if they read this discord theyd waste so much of their day with scrolling past infighting and mutiny

oak sky
#

yeah i wonder why realz doesnt post here anymore

#

really hard to figure out

dark token
#

if they read this discord they would change sin in -1 days

oak sky
#

thats

#

not how dev works is it

#

how many different priest posts and community people have begged for healer interrupt

#

and door of shadows

dark token
#

no but i find doomering constantly gets more results

#

see: boomkins

oak sky
#

weird because

#

everyone has been dooming for over a month

#

not just here

dark token
#

also its more fun to doomer than give good feedback into the void

oak tangle
gusty mirage
#

see how well it's working for boomkins?

oak sky
dark token
#

purple class good

oak sky
#

idunno man

#

like

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

we know our dev reads this discord

gusty mirage
#

WEIRD

oak sky
#

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

gusty mirage
#

I know what you're thinking, aoe/cleave heavy tier

#

maybe its cause boomkin ST is good

#

WOW

oak tangle
#

i do think that not having a particularly popular and vocal rogue (assss specifically) content creator / streamer does hinder us getting reworks etc

gusty mirage
#

THEIR DOOMING IS WORKING GUYS

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

so maybe you guys can ramp it up a bit

gusty mirage
#

so we can be as dogshit as boomkin

viscid spear
oak tangle
dark token
oak sky
#

having a content creator definitely does not do anything

gusty mirage
#

unless your eyes don't let you read statistics

#

they're literally mediocre in aoe/cleave

oak sky
#

like how many changes have warriors gotten lately they have the biggest content creator out there

gusty mirage
#

and dogshit in ST

#

weird

oak sky
#

even though he doesnt do any hard content

#

hes still incredibly vocal

dark token
#

ok yeah boomkins are pretty dogshit ye

gusty mirage
#

but its okay guys

dark token
#

but i think sin is in a worse spot

gusty mirage
#

believe

storm belfry
gusty mirage
oak tangle
dark token
#

boomkins can at least be non dogshit in 1 form of content

#

(dungeons)

gusty mirage
#

maybe you should wake up to 35% buffs next time

storm belfry
#

I thrive off negativity

#

i will do better

shut owl
#

I watch whispyr and seli all the time though and nothing changes

oak sky
balmy condor
#

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

oak sky
#

he must be nzoth

#

the true void priest

#

hes actually been controlling blizzard the whole time

balmy condor
#

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

oak sky
#

like idk i think most of the things that changed for priest were pretty popular

#

maybe not all of them

oak sky
#

but definitely like shadow crash cd

oak tangle
#

that's not what im saying. rather that having popular content creators out there spreading word of what htey want would definitely help

oak sky
#

and probably combining mind flay and mind spike

storm belfry
#

dumb question

storm belfry
#

can you upgrade the stones if they are in the ring

oak sky
#

maybe this guy puts his own spin on it

balmy condor
#

Our feedback is heard constantly

oak sky
#

i hope they hear me asking to remove rogue

#

it might happen someday

fleet pagoda
#

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

balmy condor
#

Having an angry streamer yelling about it might actually hurt more

oak tangle
#

it's harder to ignore it when our feedback goes beyond rogues and other classes begin to understand

balmy condor
unreal bear
#

are theorycrafters even approached by blizz

oak tangle
#

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

unreal bear
#

i feel like this one of the more put-together discords out there for classes

balmy condor
unreal bear
#

and the complaints are pretty well understood by the people who "lead" the class

oak sky
balmy condor
#

We were approached for the sepulcher tier set

#

And the beta talents

sweet dawn
#

How many elementium is it to fully upgrade the stones?

unreal bear
#

2 each

balmy condor
sweet dawn
#

Dope ty

unreal bear
#

i thought it was 10x stones 25x silken gemdust

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

It is

storm belfry
#

I mean you just need 6 of those upgrade things right

#

2 for each stone

balmy condor
#

10 stones, 2 for each stone

#

Is 20

unreal bear
balmy condor
#

Oh

storm belfry
#

I was only gonna upgrade the dungeon ones in the pin

balmy condor
#

Elementium

storm belfry
#

Not them all

#

Yeah sorry for confusion. I was talking the item itself

#

To upgrade

unreal bear
storm belfry
#

I was gonna take whispyrs word and not mess w that cause it’s likely not working as intended

#

Idk

unreal bear
#

safer bet

storm belfry
#

I guess. I could upgrade that one too

unreal bear
#

i dont think you even need to upgrade it except for stam

static glacier
oak tangle
#

we dont care about the damage numbers that much

#

more so the hot garbage that is the palystyle, specifically in aoe

unreal bear
#

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)

static glacier
storm belfry
#

Vile

gusty mirage
#

that would just make sense

oak tangle

this is blizzard we're talking about

@gusty mirage did some intense ring grinding today after raid

unreal bear
gusty mirage
#

insane grind

#

walked in

ebon notch
#

i was on 2 accounts

gusty mirage
#

solved the rune ward chest

ebon notch
#

going in a circle through this massive cavern

gusty mirage
#

scrapped the gem

#

gamba'd and upgraded

ebon notch
#

killing mobs for an hour

gusty mirage
#

15 minutes

#

WOW

ebon notch
#

looted 60k essences

#

22 keys

oak tangle
#

rares give keys on second kills too btw

unreal bear
#

meanwhile i had to roll 15 times for the fucking shitty movement gem that we dont even use

static glacier
gusty mirage
#

my vault gave me 8 of those

#

and 6 healing ones

ebon notch
#

are you not using blood shadow arcane?

fossil garnet
#

2 rogues 2 rings kekw 🤡

gusty mirage
#

I legit looted 8 fucking speed wind gems

#

what a time to be alive

oak tangle
#

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

static glacier
#

Blizzard turned their back on this idea that x spec can mainly st or aoe (see feral, shadow)

oak tangle
#

they can adjust damage numbers all they want, the interaction is inherently flawed

static glacier
#

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

static glacier
#

spincernedfrog feelswwman

crimson marsh
#

Yeah WW has one spec and its AoE only kekw

oak tangle
#

WW in nathria was actually pretty good ST

oak sky
#

and aoe

#

but then they nerfed the st

crimson marsh
#

I don't think going back whole expansions helps the point

fossil garnet
#

so much gamba today I remembered legion PB rtb

oak tangle
#

i mained ww in nathria because our team needed a monk, and of course i get flamed for fotm

static glacier
#

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

marble hemlock
unreal bear
#

i wouldn't mind being gimped in aoe if we were at least standout at ST

marble hemlock
#

"looks good in m+ and pvp" = rogue not bad

static glacier
#

I’m coping that they’ll change the tier

fossil garnet
#

same, I do not want to do m+ with that shit kekw

static glacier
#

Atleast DM will actually do something in aoe vs now

regal sable
static glacier
#

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)

fossil garnet
#

idk if its a hot take but I feel like the legion PB with KB cdr made aoe feel a lot smoother

hollow junco
#

legion PB lottery was a thing

#

such high highs, such low lows

balmy condor
hollow junco
#

can't say i remember it fondly but i guess it worked

balmy condor
#

Fishing for a proc for ALL your damage

#

it got hotfix nerf i think

balmy condor

No good

Legion was wild, blood of the exsanguinated proc in opener? W/e that wierd non poison poison was

marble hemlock
#

over a week ago

hollow junco
#

lol a twitter link, have managed to avoid clicking those for a while

#

i'll click this

#

what's this

#

no, fuck you elon

regal sable
hollow junco
#

you want me to pay money to have a baseline level of security?

marble hemlock
unreal bear
#

tbf it's just the text mfa

marble hemlock
#

you still have that. also, this is assassination, not offtopic. the daily "bad elon" whine-fest is over in #off-topic

hollow junco
#

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

hollow junco
#

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"

fossil garnet
#

it felt pretty good

#

and we didnt have CT

hollow junco
#

i can't remember CT ever feeling good

fossil garnet
#

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

hollow junco
#

i'd prefer PB casino over CT

#

given the choice

fossil garnet
#

its not like there isnt any rng now

marble hemlock
#

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%

regal sable
#

i liked legion outlaw

fossil garnet
#

ye same

regal sable
#

also imagine casino PB funnel

50% chance to proc pb, 50% chance to do more ST dmg

#

hehe

fossil garnet
#

yea, imo all rogue specs were better back then peeposhrug

hollow junco
#

could also be that legion was an exciting expansion to play and felt neato

#

it was such a huge step from wod

fossil garnet
#

didnt play wod but played all patches since 7.1

hollow junco
#

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

balmy condor
fossil garnet
#

only good thing since legion is SS, that is a good talent

balmy condor
regal sable
#

i am despair

drifting cosmos
#

Yea I think sin was pretty good in 7.3

#

starege even with pb that many didn’t like

hollow junco
#

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. yep

dark token
#

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

pseudo rain
#

so how good is assassination at the moment?

balmy condor
#

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%

There are no 10.1 changes planned for rogue, thats my assumption.

I've only played 2

that's a shit game

and nothing like 1

#

Why is there such a big correlation between ass players and weebdom

balmy condor
#

there's a reason they shut down maplestory 2 servers after a year and a half lets just say that

near valley

Might give it a go

#

After D4 beta though

balmy condor

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

balmy condor

but yeh dunno

Don't put words in my mouth. Tyvm

any data on the interaction of prophetic twilight stone and desirous blood stone and 1 dmg stone?

did never hear about monster museum

balmy condor
#

it's not a proud watch

oak tangle
#

do we have bug confirmation or intended

near valley
#

Watched it for the plot

balmy condor
balmy condor
flint ridge
#

the bug/intended synergy works on aoe situations,, no?

near valley
#

I dont think

vestal wren
#

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"

balmy condor
#

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

flint ridge
#

how strong are people finding it on ST. for instance on assa. like 10%? ballaprk?

balmy condor
#

non-bugged is 0.7%

#

the bugged one is like 2.5%

#

over the regular setup

flint ridge
#

which is the diurna ring which I don't have. pog

#

time to farm em. haha

balmy condor
#

well you'd replace signet of melandrus

#

over diurna

#

but yeah

flint ridge
#

ah yeah the 421 signet which i also dont have haha

balmy condor
#

415

flint ridge
#

so on m+ we just ditch these ring, right?

Let em know we mean business

steel ridge

#

On the real though Arcane has a similar issue but their tier didn't get changed

#

So maybe its working as intended PeepoShrug

gaunt moat
#

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.

near valley
#

Doubt it

#

BM is like the poster child of wow

grim jay
#

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

grim jay
near valley
#

Seems they just want to flatten out the damage profile which is fine

#

But they gotta change how they go about it

grim jay
#

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

grim jay
#

I mean look at Sub

#

Had really big and juicy dances once. Now its basically sustained starege

steel ridge
#

Dances are way bigger than in SL tho

grim jay
#

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

gaunt moat
#

why not

storm onyx
#

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

royal lantern
#

8.1 was a disaster for the rogue playerbase

#

good thing they are also the loudest 🙂

grim jay
#

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

royal lantern
#

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

regal sable
#

i liked meatball sub

royal lantern
#

then SL with permanent dance

and now DF sub where just nothing matters

#

great

grim jay
#

Atleast 10.1 tier makes noone think about how bad it feels to not have symbols for dance kekdog

#

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

royal lantern
#

i mean yes

#

ct buff, garrote dmg buff, maybe a kingsbane buff, the end

#

thats ginna be 10.1

#

if at all OMEGAKEKW

#

the way rogue gets ignored since DF launch, im not even suprised if just nothing happens at all

grim jay
#

They should just move KB to AP as choice

#

So we might atleast be able to play it again kekdog

oak tangle
#

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

royal lantern
#

wut

oak tangle
#

here we go

royal lantern
#

no, why bring up arcane now

#

what am i missing

grim jay
#

And it still gives an amp to your not-so-high damage window

oak tangle
#

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

grim jay
#

I've seen the opposite. 😁
Anyways, the 4p is counter intuitive to their playstyle

oak tangle
#

yeah

grim jay
#

Even worse than for sin

#

Actually

oak tangle
#

only because of the trinket

grim jay
#

So at this point with multiple tiers shitting on burst, I think they just dont want any

oak tangle
#

they care far less without having to use talon

#

but that's not an option

grim jay
#

Ye and they lose sbg for the alternate trinket

#

Might work with irideus or what its called tho

oak tangle
#

they should make it something like it is now, but let them sling free 4 charge barrages or seomthing

drifting cosmos
#

🤨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

oak tangle
#

their aim seems to be to make you use unsused talents or to change your damage profile

drifting cosmos
#

Passive tier bonus with better numbers tuning might be a better idea

drifting cosmos
#

And just use resources to tune the damn talents OMEGAKEKW

#

Will have bigger impact on game play

#

Like all those first impressions, none of them have been all positives I believe? Except outlul

subtle tundra

we should've gotten a shadow dance tier set

You use both then

north basin
#

So gems wasnt nerfed at the end? Maybe its intended we have some fun with overtuned stuff

grim jay
#

Its not really gamebreaking

#

Especially at this point

vestal wren
#

still possible that they nerf it now

#

don't think they would nerf it tho if they wouldn't today

rigid tartan
#

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

subtle tundra

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!

World of Warcraft Forums

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...

balmy condor
#

sadly the problem isn't that they aren't hearing us

#

it's that they aren't doing anything with the feedback

subtle tundra
#

Next week for sure

#

😤

balmy condor
#

blizzard's doing a whole lot of listening

#

and a bunch of hearing

#

it's just no changes

vestal wren

rogue just seems to be not a priority

when they assign dev time

oak tangle
#

pseudo hamlet
#

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. besad

steel ridge
#

lets face it, 3 weeks into 10.1 PTR and not a single note. this ship has sailed

vestal wren
#

i wouldn't be too negative before we get closer to 10.1

#

just give it time

steel ridge
#

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

vivid bone
#

just remove assa spec and give us a healing spec instead.

vestal wren
#

ret rework was a consequence of their tree/talents being in a rly bad spot

steel ridge
#

most other classes had big improvements on their trees, QoL stuff and so on

vestal wren
#

priest changes are similar

#

rogue is in a at least tuning wise okay spot

#

hence i could see how it gets less attention

steel ridge
#

turning a knob 10% up or down doesnt require any effort

#

getting actual functionality in there does, and thats missing.

vestal wren
#

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)

hollow dirge
#

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

steel ridge
#

and if they actually listen/hear they know why

grim jay
#

Design issue aside

steel ridge
#

nah thats 100% down to assassination playing like turd in keys

tawny bloom
#

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

vivid bone
#

if their knowledge is good, then it shouldn't matter what their rio is

steel ridge
#

knowledge is power

grim jay
#

Should just be the TCs

tawny bloom
#

you can only define spec knowledge by how much and how well they play the spec.

vivid bone
#

let's just agree that Fuu is in there

near valley
#

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

vivid bone
tawny bloom
#

i would gladly take a 10-15% nerf but rather enjoying to play it

steel ridge
#

i just care for assassination cause i like it and play it whenever its not trolling

vivid bone
#

you wouldn't enjoy it at the bottom of the dps meter

near valley
tawny bloom
vivid bone
#

that's just one fight

vivid bone
near valley
#

Ah yeah fairs

#

But u get what I mean

oak tangle
#

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

tawny bloom
uncut echo
#

That's kinda false tho memz

#

Most triple dps specs always have one that lacks

oak tangle
#

the difference is that in their case, that 1 spec changes

tawny bloom
#

and when boomie was bad they were told to go heal or tank

oak tangle
#

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

tawny bloom
#

you have it with like nearly every class except for maybe paladins

tawny bloom
#

pvp players have it even worse

#

if bad luck they gonna wait 8 weeks again to be 4p

oak tangle
#

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

unborn oasis
#

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

tawny bloom
#

if they dont change anything anyway they should atleast give us the long awaited exsanguinate rework

oak tangle
#

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)

west turret
#

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?

royal lantern
#

the issue is that assa is not good in m+ dracthyr_kek

tawny bloom
#

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

royal lantern
#

get dots rolling for energy, then envenom for buff and spamm ct, thats the aoe gameplay with cp

oak tangle
broken stump
#

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

dark token
#

Historically a lot of mainly st heroic bosses get mythic adds

#

It's very common

aka spec swapps are not bad cus of secondarys

I guess the nice thing with Assa-Sub is that you don't need a second set of weapons like Outlaw

real rogues use daggers anyway

i.e. mutilate, envenom, etc won’t miss but can get parried

royal lantern

And we have very similar gear

royal lantern
#

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

tawny bloom
#

Is it? I will most likely have boon up there too so I should be able to not drop far on the little ones

gusty mirage
#

There’s actually zero reason to play assassination anymore

royal lantern
#

i did my first sub dungeon yesterday

spark scaffold
#

Still need some boss dam

gusty mirage
#

So

#

Okay?

royal lantern
#

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

west turret
#

can someone send my their damage breakdown from details or something so i can cross check with my stuff?

tawny bloom
#

is it worth to upgrade the twilight stone? Or rather why would it make sense to upgrade it?

spark scaffold
#

How does sub do better at boss dam

#

Thats some cope

gusty mirage
#

Okay man

spark scaffold
#

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

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

This man is actually arguing with himself SMH

#

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

spark scaffold
#

The only difference between "aoe spec" and st for sub is 1 talent point which is a small dps increase on st

royal lantern
#

🙂

#

noticed at the final boss

Has this been discussed and I missed it?

#

people in guild are saying some hotfix went out

But maybe you like to use tornado, replicating or BP on ST

spark scaffold
#

I dont play tornado or replicating shadows

grim jay
spark scaffold
#

Only bp swap for tfd

oak tangle
#

replicating applies 2 ruptures on single target. that's why it does more damage than sin's one right? monkahmm

grim jay
#

Yeah, dont need to argue any further on that then, saved some time starege

heady drum
spark scaffold
oak tangle
#

i think the point is that if you specced sub for the exact same role as sin, you beat it's ST

spark scaffold
#

Ok, but thats not going to happen if exclude p1 which is irelevant damage

grim jay
#

Well its not the aoe spec

#

Its a mixed build for that specific fight

#

You basically sacrifice 1 point for basic aoe capability

royal lantern

Instead we're getting 10% physical DR as a capstone right @royal lantern

must be great not changing 2 sides of your talent tree for aoe

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

must be nice to play a spec that does damage

oh wait

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

dim estuary
#

do you need desirous blood stone equipped for it to work ?

uncut echo
#

That's a wow general moment

#

Bc idk if anyone has fucked with these seriously

oak tangle
#

my guess would be you need the gem, as the twilight would not proc that one

grim jay
#

Uhm

#

You could just read the last part

#

And get your answer

oak tangle
#

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

grim jay
#

I dont think thats what he wanted to know, tho the question is weird

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

yeah but for sales and something something p1 damage

or whatever that guy was talking about

thorn fjord
#

Nice still no ring nerf

#

Score

#

Wanted atleast one night of prog with it lol

#

Gotta nerf it so it gets used as much as before they buffed it starege

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

My OL got 10% LOL

#

10.3 to be exact

royal lantern

10% more of 65k dps not gonna brake the game

Was more like 10% of 72k

OL ST sitting at 79.6 lol

In M+ build

gaunt moat
#

bro the numbers don't matter. you get my point

thorn fjord
#

Literally only change was diurna ring for new one

#

Thats huge gains from 1 item

gaunt moat
#

it's not worth "fixing"

thorn fjord
#

Ehh depends

#

If they wanted the twilight stone to be more of a healer niche stone then odds are they'll nerf

gaunt moat
#

if it'll be BIS in season 2, then they'll change it

thorn fjord
#

If not then it may be working as intended

grim jay
#

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

thorn fjord
gusty mirage
#

that was patched on tuesday

grim jay
#

And in the grand scheme of things, like notter said, it isnt even huge

Like breaking stuff or changing the balance
