Does it apply to deez?
..
pull into p2 raszageth
do we know what the target cap is on the plague gem?
Sorry I’m bored at work and these posts are a nuisance
you mean the posts about DN?
we swapping stones after the arcane thing ?
Check pin. Was updated
Good, that shit is behind me for now 😂
Does anyone know if you can safely swap gems through the shift+right click menu and just dragging another gem on top? Or will that destroy as if you're replacing a normal gem and we need to resort to the anvil to safely swap?
oh boy i feel sad everyday that i remember personal loot is gone
HUH
Personal loot was absolute garbage
only use the thing next to the anvil
i think putting another gem over one is deleting the old one
personal loot was the only thing manking raid bearable
Uhh
Personal loot made it so rings and necks dropped like candy, and weapons were impossible to find
that isnt a problem with personal loot itself
Personal loot vs group loot makes edge of night a 1/25 chance to drop vs a 3/13 chance.
Personal loot is incredibly unpopular with raiders because of the implications it has on any item that isn't droppable for all players.
i understand why guilds dont like it
but theres nothing worse then not getting gear for like 4 weeks straight because of unlucky rolls
is the echoing thunder stone as toxic as it reads
i almost never did a single run without loot when they had personal loot and rerolls
it felt so much better
@earnest remnant 
thats the walking one ?
yea
How much do you actually have to walk
do you get full benefit from it by like strafing slightly every 5 seconds, or do you actually just have to never stop moving, cuz if its the 2nd no shot we use it
Cause melee strafing is common anyways
its actually beyond cringe the sub tierset and what it does to the spec
lol
Sprint is now a dps cd bois (?
63 apm and gloomblade+lingering is top dmg
Why is sub apm so low compared to live
Gloomblade 
Walking generates stacks, walking faster generates more stacks
So you have to sprint
lol
Cringe.
i'll take the 200 less dps on the ice stone thanks
we are outlaw legion now???? 
If sprint/roar/shadowstep wind up being meaningful then it could be bigger
There's a limit to how much i'm willing to optimize 🥲
nah bro i'm willing to go back to melandrious if that means no sprinting like crazy
Dude Gloomblade is awesome. I was so pumped when it got added in Legion.... then everyone said it's bad and I shouldn't use it so I just changed specs and never went back lol.
Same. But if it's +200 without move speed it could end up being +1k with speed.
Maybe Sub is back on the menu in 10.1!
you can just jump all the time or A/D
when was it off the menu
wait jumping counts ?
fuu said that
wtf
even then, i don't want to constantly think about jumping and moving. not worth for me.
uhm, lost about 1.5k dps by the change, and still same gems bis for me
Wtf is this dogshit game. 0 QA it’s pathetic
Nutty that the only meaningful addition to this patch is beyond bugged
It’s not you may be simming it wrong
it's not a content patch.. it's an alt catchup patch. wuuusaahh
Zone's quite lovely
I’ll agree
I’ve not been able to play a huge amount until the weekend
But it’s been fun
hello, what is the common error of assasination rotation ? i'm not doing a great dps on diurna, block at 70 k dps with 417 ilvl ( not very good stat btw ) if someone can help me ^^
!logs
There's not a whole lot to do in it.
but it was fun for a day or two.
i've opened all doors in vault, and it was exciting to open them.
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

i like the patch so far, i don't rly care about the ring changing much and just have some fun
Thanks !
Ironically, you're the only one that should care, because you're the one testing it.
but people are so annoyed about it. i don't get it.
idk
I agree
people are weird
It aint that bad
its a fun inbettwen patch
Fun to have something to do tbh
nothing more
exactly
idk dude im catching up with tons of reps! gonna have paw print backpacks soon no joke im legit excited LOL
Okay so
The zone and vault itself is fun
As someone with turbo ADHD
The ring is the sore thing
Bad communication and delayed tuning/testing is a recurring problem. Possible for it to be a fun patch and still be annoyed at blizz.
Wish they would’ve dove in the vault solo content
Is it a dps increase if I go Echoing?
I did the furbolg rep today.
That was the most "grindy" think in the patch, and it took like 1 hour to get exalted.
but people are calling vault "farming".
If it was all mog and catchup
its day2 of a patch
Would have had fun
Yeah the vault is not farming
i don't do the implementation, just the simulations.
also what i did try to say is
The vault is killing some rares or using alts to get like 30 keys on your main
This is an ongoing problem. Reasonable that people get more annoyed as it continues to happen
it is though! ring takes 2 hours to get then from here im just donig rep catchup >:)
I mean I will get the ring and it’s the easiest farm ever. But I’ve already said why I think it’s a waste of time. When they added something like the vault which had some real potential for actual fun content
the ring is a damage gain, i don't mind farming it as it is easy
i know, i said you did testing 🙂
and fun at least
That means I’m halfway there 
the exploration and mini puzzles from the vault are fun
We love you @vestal wren
the content patch gives a bit of content to do, so i see that as positive
Where can i send nudes?
Ice stone is simming higher for me but on the training dummy humming arcane is still doing more damage anyone else actually compare them in game yet?
so i don't care if i need to change gems once
I do love everything about the patch aside from the ring. Wish they would’ve used their time to add stuff to the other additions to this patch
Is there a way to sim all the stones with top gear?
the only legitimate concern i agree with
is that they had 2 months of PTR to balance gems. but they didn't touch them at all.
here
They basically just threw them out
and then suddenly were surprised when community said they were crap.
I just really hope this is a one time thing
❤️ ty bb
Why do testing when the community does it for you 
hi, raidbots update new buff stones? my sim show me now
Yeah simc should be up to date with current hotfixes
so do we know the stone setup now?
Blood + prophetic + highest DPS stone for your purposes :P
Is arcane gem nerfed recently?
are you simming nightly
a picture doesn't exactly tell us much
it was a question
what was a question
"hi, raidbots update new buff stones? my sim show me now"
oh
thanks for pointing that out
my answer remains the same
if you sim with the weekly build
it does not
if you sim with the nightly
it does
I've tested multiple times on dummies and humming arcane is still doing more dps every time despite sim saying ice stone is better 🤷♂️
Prob just rng
yes
These gems are such a waste of effort and poor gameplay balance

Shards of dragonnation
Literally pointless yet dev time is being committed to it
Is there a set order to put them gems in?
ion said in an interview with hazelnutty they want them to be worn into mythic prog next tier, 10.0.7 is likely just gonna be a cluster fuck of tuning with them
atleast acquisition and upgrading is pretty free
no
Accidentally destroyed my humming stone lol
sup
Nm papi hby
I'm going to accidentally destroy my game files
not too much just vibin
Ready to down raz tn?
Gl tonight king. I know you all have it 

yeah I accidentally got rid of my prophetic twilight. will have to use some primordial ones to buy some chances at getting it back lol
Yeah same. Had blood and twilight earlier this afternoon before changes. 😣
Stupid question, but does Atrophic Poison stack with devo aura?
yes
one is a buff on the player
the other is a debuff on the target
they are functionally different spells
Cool, thx
Is this new or
just recap from what they did
that's a recap
ty
so blood/ice/twilight is bis after most recent changes correct?
yo yo i am kinda new to rogue tho and i feel stupid to ask but which poison/s do i use 
tyvm <3
basically
people don't use pins come now
yeah true
ity
I know lurkers use them
and just simply don't say anything
cause faq/pins answers it all
and then they disappear
at least that's my headcannon to feel better about it
i use them but cant tell whewn thigns were last edited/updated
faq and pins are kingshit
spamming chats with basic bitch questions on the other hand. gigayikes
there's a thing for that
plus there were like 10 updates and chages today so i didnt know wht latest info was
ahhhh
and it'll tell you
that was like
tht helps a lot lol
no
i dont do timezone math
all these dodgy timezones
not when you have
3 different names for the same timezone
like, why is pdt, pst and pt
all the same
just use UTC 
yeah, the daylight saving is implied


nice cope
aw u raid
or you will to keep going dies
i just got back i was gonna say time to continue our quest
after raid we save these tuskar looking people whispyr
they need food
!remindme 4 hours
wow players dont know shit about the real world
now excuse me, im going to look at some feral druid looking animal gifs
xd
the pins have been updated after the %72 on a gem right?
yes
Just don't change your clock ever, and remember to add or subtract an hour when appropriate
What up with the influx of big logs from noexsang players
New rocks go burr?
They just run double shiv?
Yeah, and old stones go I SEE A RED DOOR
And I want to PAINT IT BLACK
quarter of the way there

now you just need to learn p1 intermission
then p2
then p2 intermission
p3 is kinda straight forward if you can get there w/ all brezzes
my raid doesn't learn very good
at least they let me play assas 
i also used all of my keys before doing this quest

you can gamba for more keys
cuz i didn't read how tf any of this works
tldr
it's weekly
so don't stress
you can get keys in a billion dif ways
you can even funnel them from alts

ye kill rares, pick up treasure, gamba, blender bad stones, gamba some more
i dont' have alts
but we do have a mage in our guild with 49 keys lol
in only those keys would stop him from getting hit by raz breath 


I woke up at 5:30pm at raid time yesterday, then played HC from raid end until raid start today
I think i just need a nap
took me like 2 hours ish to farm 30 keys just afk looking at map for rare spawns
got any examples?
Does this Crimson Tempest Change make it good?
Looks like they mostly got swept with the log reroll but #2 diurna parse was on boss and cranked
Finally getting p2 every pull 
Which change
Nevermind im an idiot - someone linked something from 4 years ago

oof
twilight stone is shadow?
I just need twilight
@spice spire
it's about that time mister cyon


man all these sims
ferk it, im just putting haste on the ring and not changing shit else
today, i got my first ever pink parse on spider
Man I feel bad, Log in for the first time in over a month and there's in game mail waiting for me asking about M+ talents.
ope
the in game mail character limit is too small
to give a thorough explanation on the superiority of AP in M+
Wait that was me
I stalked your io page because I’m on your sever and I didn’t know how to contact you otherwise
Oh yeah
Lol
Lol
Youre the highest on the server for assa and I wanted some tips cause I’m like 3rd
But you’re right in game mail sucks
Lanille also has the best pfp in ravenholdt
Dogs > raccoons
objectively wrong

Yeah I haven't played in a while, but basically AP over DTB trades ST for AoE. I prefer it. I think it's a lot of fun. Big numbers go burrrr in AoE. Pretty bad in CoS and HoV where there are a lot of minibusses so you're not getting value from it.
can a dog maybe do this?
Very good in AA and NO where there's a lot of big packs.
The others are a wash, would play DTB tyran weeks and AP fort weeks
Okay. Makes sense. I’ve been kinda doing that. Fort weeks feel pretty fun with ap
And definitely ap in aa and no
yeah but can he do it with his paws while looking like a trashpanda?
No but he’s cuter (trash pandas very cute tho)
neither are ducks, F tier pfps
also figured out the vault stuff. mild entertainment value. maxed current stones. surly they'll be nerfed tuesday 
What if catfish
i started a hardcore rogue today, officially a classic andy. This is what the state of sin has done to me
im playing hardcore for that reason. because if i die im kinda forced to stop unless i REALLY like it
if you die, you die in real life
got it
whats the state of the new ring w/ the changes, i havent touched any 10.0.7 but i hear its like shards 2.0 in terms of blizz nerfing after ppl already spent their currency on them.
well they didnt nerf anything with shards (actually they mightve made small nerfs to Unholy) either
but they pseudo nerfed by buffing the others
i thought the same thing was going on
wow community just going balistic that they dont have the 100% perfect Combo day1 lol
except the same combo is still the best
lmao
wow players and making a big deal out of a 3% increase as if it is the end of the world
name a more iconic duo
i mean thats like a mid/weak 2 set levels of dmg

they litearlly said that
bis for this tier, and then gets killed
wasnt it suppose to be a catch up thing
its litearlly a novelty item for sim dps lmao

are the stats predetermined on it?
no stats
ew

People getting sad about not having something passive they barely notice in favor of something passive they barely notice 
but you FEEL that 0,6%crit!!!111!!!
Any chance to sim new gems?
Take a look at #tc-research
Billion Dollar company
Gotta invest
Before they rise further in their plan to conquer the world
They will add simming functionality fo anything basically
Nono, they own the cloud service, processor hours $$$

yes, ? and ! works
the old bot before moroes used ? for commands
but don't expect it to work with everything

it works on all community commands (so stuff like !guide, !sheet, etc.)
!etc
You forgot the . at the end 
Oh thats probably why it doesnt work
did they fix the way prophetic and blood stone work or were they talking about another bug with humming stone in that post?
Which post
!meow
Why are people still talking about fixing how prophetic and blood stone work? It works literally how it says it works in the tooltip.
They never were going to fix it because it isn't broken. The broken stuff was all the low damage from their bis ring, which is what they have been fixing.
Thanks for sharing
it's unintuitive and totally the type of interaction blizzard has considered unintended in the past
Polish a turd, its still a turd.
you now smeared shit all over the place
Blizzard started it.
It is, by the choice of words, technically not a bug
But a pretty turd
It sure as fuck isnt 
If they were classified as healing/dps/tank stones or something, it would seem to be one
is assas good now?
probably worst dps sec in the game right now 
its good single target but sub benefits way more from the stones
also depends on what boss/progress area you are
goddamn
i play it quite successfully during rasza progress and only slack on first intermission
I see
only bosses i play sub/outlaw were council, first 2 sennarth kills and during dathea
As long as you guys are still progressing and need bossdmg sin is fine
yup
which is the main reason i stick to it. But I think with the stones you will be also great on sub ST wise
Someone quick link wlogs
You mean the logs where bosses die in half of the time they might need and people dont die before execute? 
🤓
Is the pin updated for the gem buff ?
yes
did someone test the flame licked stone?
Hey, is there any good resource/youtubers for m+ rogue tips and tricks? Like shroud skips etc?
or is it still proccing too much and overwrites itself?
didnt they make it a rolling dot?
I dont know anything about new rings I got so many different drops geez
pretty stones
So true bestie
anyone have kui name plate profile for dungeon?
I want my profile to play an audio file whenever a mobs get enraged
More like a clip

just look at your tanks health chunking, youll know then 
true
Did wowhead forget to release the rogue set impressions article? 
No it already released
wah, i missed it
probs got buried by a lot of ptr news, gems, etc
I mean they'll always keep the numbers competitive. It will just be a super weird, unintuitive tier set that borderlines on pointless in ST

He said it will be okay, no changes for rogue this entire expac inc
its all whisps fault confirmed
I'm Spartacus
whispyr still wasn't harsh enough, too nice to everyone outside of here 😛
maplestory time 💃
maplestory lapcat streams best streams
mandatory insane wowhead posting:
I saw that too lol
hahahahaha
his last banger
just search his name
and read the RH lore
about how fried that idiot is
"CT is first and foremost a dot"
There's no way this guy has played assassination this expansion.
Stay a while. And listen
you were blessed enough to experience his stupidity before he got banned 
or I suppose cursed enough
I honestly don't remember him. must have segmented that part of my memory.
but just random name and date search:
you probably blocked it out of your memory
and I don't blame you
at all
he was a special individual
Hi Tom
hi

I shouldn't have searched that. now my blocked memory has returned.
Core memory
He's certainly an individual.
do we know yet if the stats on the set pices for 10.1 are certain?
pinned gems still top1 combo?
@tawny bloom We know only what blizzard released. there's still time until patch.
thats what i hope for, because this amount of vers we will have seems like no fun for sin
ya
thanks
We kinda almost hit crit cap on S1 gear already. So it makes sense for them to add more vers
i mean that was mostly because the headpiece we replaced anyway with flaring cowl
even with flaring cowl, before the stat-less ring, i was at 40% crit.
due to not having eranog ring i am at 39% (i just realised its crit low vers highest on it so i would prolly be at 38% with it)
Is there a "best" configuration for the new ring for assassination rogue? is it better than raid rings?
its roughly 1.5% better than bis gear
Hello guys im kinda new to rogue and i wonder if assa is a good spe atm in m+
it can perform fine until 22-23s then its uh not very fine.
It's actually one of the worst comparatively.
But i've done all +20 as assassination well within time.
Yes, because we spec into AoE talents, which take away from our ST.
i wouldnt say its the worst. its just 20k less overall than sub thats it. u do like 10-12k less single target and also less aoe. but that doesnt mean one of the worst
Alright, which specs are worse?
Is there a place where the spe is good? It has a good gameplay I’m sad reading this
terros
Issue is it would echo and find response just for being 'penned' argumentative and more 'proper'
*heroic terros
The spec is good
It could be better
But it’s not terrible
you gotta think outside the vaccuum, if you as a player are better than the people you play with, any spec you play will slay
In heroic vault it's doing good.
other than that, not in a great spot right now.
Doom will make it seem worse than it is. I do much more dps overall more often than not than fotm classes in 21s and 22s atm
Holy based
True and real
for instance the entirety of my heroic prog i was top dps, as sin
the thing is a lot of specs are good in keys but not all can perform in pugs. its hard to do well as a f mage in a pug without pi. or arcane. or unholy or ele. one of my friends is quite litealrly one of the best eles int he world and he does like 45k on vexx (melts aoe though)
doenst he wrote something about whisper in the wowhead comment about the rogue tier set for 10.1
Xaethron is a special person
That's not a very compelling argument as to way sin is not one of the worst.
sin is okay-ish boss damage. but overall it's not good in m+. we don't need to sugarcoat that
(again, comparatively)
i scrolled back to see what i had to deal with back then.
every 2nd word he said was gay.
Did someone say xaethron
I’m currently in 21+ keys
i'd imagine that whilst 20+'s are doable, that you'd struggle and you don't have time to step off the gas
whereas something like sub can go payphone mode
Is there a good future for 10.1 ?
Sure specs can perform better than others. But it comes down to player also
bosses as of now look more low target count
honestly no 10.1 is worse imo
we can't know yet. but so far there are no changes for rogue shown in 10.1.
tier set gives SLIGHTLY more aoe.
if anything slight ranged multi dot favoured
i think the play is to snipe a dying mob with deathmark then pop off in aoe. what a great gameplay. definatley not gonna reroll. amazing design.
but mythic can change all that
I really hope it doesn't come to that. it's cursed gameplay.
tbh i honestly wouldn't hate that interaction. it at least brings some variance
how would it not though?
in aoe deathmark is just some damage to 1 target
but 40% for aoe? thats way more
if it changes it won't 
It's only nature damage
Copium is a dangerous drug mah feren
would be nice if you got a dm reset or something for sniping a mob
Ofc pvp is completely different ?
I know, but.. some sets have already seen changes.
maybe they'll remember rogue is a class sometime between now and patch.
we had a different gameplay with kingsbane
cd reduced by duration of dm left when mob dies
Heh. Good one.
DF Assa plays like the SL and BFA Assa
my cope is that they make KB good so that you sync it to do it's final few ticks with the nature buff, but build the stacks of it in dm
My cope is insane PB dmg no exsang and huge env with KB to sing me to sleep at night
where is difference not to be? I mean the only difference right now you just vanish before DM, but after that its mostly the same. I don't think the gameplay change that much (i mean in raid environment not M+)
nah RE4 Remake
We didnt have SS in SL at all
So we didnt play around the imp gar gameplay
we didn't use bone spike (for most of it)
exsang was in a good palce
yeah not played LOL
🙂
Brought my steam deck to work just to play it 🙂
what primordial stones are we going for guys? gonna grind today
Sin was trash during Nathria
So to perform the best as rogue it would be better to change spe to go sub?
play what you like
Sub prob your best bet
i started sin in nathria but had to hard swap monk for mystic touch
huntsman was a fight
Start sin then realized it was cancer so swapped sub till they brought shards in and Frost started critting for close to 200k
lol
Sin was alot of fun in SL tho ngl
Even if we had to play CT in ST
assassination in 9.0.5 was the best raid spec in the game
play the one that you enjoy, there is in the grand scheme not that much difference between all the specs, yes some have theoretically lower caps, but if you are just starting, you won't be anywhere near approaching that cap, so just pick the one that's fun to you
and 2 cov ability reworks
nice*
yeah
it was a dogshit journey
53% in aura buffs and it still mediocre as fuck in 9.2

Still M prog as sin during Sanctum felt really good once the dust settled
I enjoy sin, but it has given me a lot of time for other games since they took it out back.
and as a bonus sin and sub can share weapons and stat weights, so you can gear your character for both
right now our plane wont fly and while the other already on there way to wonderland
i swear im more pesistent sticking to sin than sticking to doing my uni stuff
even tho all of this shit was just cringe
wasn't 9.2 the pog dagger patch
9.1
ah
9.2 was death crab
i quit after liek 3 weeks of second tier
🤨
Seal of Diurna's Chosen has synergy with Flame-Licked Stone?
doesn't beat out cowl i believe
hey folks. i heard somewhere that assa has AoE shiv dispell effect. I cant seem to find anything to confirm this, can anyone help please 🙂
You gonna say S3 was the best cause meh those bosses were kinda lame imo
Except anduin/crab/Jailer
Anduid was kinda aids tho
But i enjoyed that fight
Sub and sin goes for crit masterie?
Yea but Cowl plus Seal of Diurna's and the Stone I assume that has synergy between 'em
Both are Fire dmg after all
cowl is enough to not have to worry about more fire damage, so better to take a stone that does more damage
Mostly... sin may want some more haste whereas sub might want some more verse... Just sim it
You got a point. Thanks
haste is only valuable once you have enough of the others no? i swear crit mastery simmed better until i'd got a few pieces with it
My sims are telling me to put Haste/Crit gems now
But its a minimal gain
yeah, either way we're talking ~100 dps yeah?
yeah
my sub set wants Mastery/Verse but even swapping all of them is like a 210 gain
so im just staying Crit mastery
on all gems
where is does teh blood gem fall?
necromantic
ah, I have that, how do we upgrade them all?
unstable elementium from a JC
needs 2 per gem to make them 424
you use them on the gems like an enchant
ah, ok, and we can "destroy" gems we don't need?
if you want
you get 6 material from that
the unstable elementium is 10 of it and 25 gemdust
i have 15 gems lol
so assuming you know the 3 gems you want, then you need 6 elementiuim aka, 60 dormant stuff, and 150 gemdust
ok
350 for me with 5 gems
Im just sub now 100% after the ring
Was going in to first intermission on rag last night close to 90k
we’re on brood getting to sub 10%. executed time is so damn long assa pulls ahead while i’m even up until 30%
so I don’t mind swapping gems
yeah the Sin angle got us the brood kill
How did that go
40%
nice
unsure if i'll do prog next week with them or look for another, they were 5 healing every boss
but guilds that run as a community are hard to come by
LMAOO
Hello, does anyone know which magic token drops "Desirous Blood Stone"
Thank you
necromantic
is plague stone really bad or someone figured pairing for it?
Not great
I ran plague stone with twilight/blood in two +21 AA yesterday to test and it did between 7-9M damage overall.
can we have two seperate rings? I want to make a ST and Mplus ring
Don’t think so, but you can remove gems from the ring to swap the builds. Not exactly what you are looking for but it’s what we got
i just saw the vendor for the first time
Yeah you can buy a separate ring for 10 frags
You can
Oh til
cool imma do that
you know you basically
waste resources you might need
tho
unless you have the 2 extra copies already
i only need twilight
we still dont know if the gems stay as they are
i have most of the aoe ones according to whispers diagram
The pairings are:
Blood
Twilight
Anything
Plague is best in pure aoe. Freezing in pure st, storm infused in low cleave
Which stone you use depends on the content
Personally I think plague has niche use except for council parsing
Nothing is really a pure aoe boss except that
Dungeons don't count either
do you guys also getting dced constantly ?
bcus of diablo servers are fked i guess
no
yeah my wifi was fked up

why are you only simming barely 90k with that ilvl?
ofcourse no shame, but im 2 ilvl lower with worse daggers and simming higher
that just the grief ig
why does he have multiple stone dmg in the breakdown?
Has anyone ever done a reasonable piece about the differences between sim results and actual results, and why, and maybe how expecting in-game results to match sim results might do more harm than good? Coming from a person who obvs doesn't sim, ever.
You can get pretty close to your sims if not the same or more depending on the fight... Sims have you standing in one place straight dpsing without taking mechanics in to account iirc
If you want a good idea of how you're doing rotationally you can do a sim with no buffs and hit a target dummy for 5m straight
See how it compares
any giga builds for ptr? 
Hello fellas.
The topic must surely have been discussed already, but did the last changes of the stones affect the bis stones that Whispyr adviced?
sim is "5min playing 100% perfect, no movment, all buffs/debuffs+consumables, 100%uptime"
reality is "6min 14sec, you had ~80%uptime cus of mechanics, had to use feint a couple times to stay alive and do small mistakes because you are not a sim robot, your windfury shaman played Floor PoV after 5min"
The ones in pin are currently the best but wouldn’t bet against them changing again
Oh the pin message changed already! Didn't notice! So it's gonna be twillight/blood after all... Thanks a lot!
yeah, pins dont reflect edit timestamps. when it doubt, jump to the message and mouse over (edited)
Thanks for the tip 🙂
hello guys, do you know what the breakpoint for ice vs storm is? which would be better to bring to mythic kurog which is mostly 2 target cleave
usually the adds fall over quicker in less prog groups I have found. People love to PAD
Your job on Grimtotem is ST
pump as much ST as you can
I wouldnt even send DM on add phases and save the DMs for Totem himself
yeah ive been doing that
Where are you guys getting to?
but first add phase is so perfect time-wise to send dm
You'd rather want the boss dmg
thing is I don't believe you really lose a use on boss
Cloak through the rings and DM the boss 🤔
the storm add spawns right on 2m
and it's not like you have to wait more than like 30-40 secs or w/e
into 2nd kurog phase to dm
after that next use will be in 2nd add phase and last use will be on boss
Don't think this works on mobile
Might not be a bad idea to have a "last edited on xx" for pins
Probably sending 1 DM in fire phase, 1st intermission on thunderfuck, earth phase then holding for ice phase with
your kill timer is quick
that's not mine and 730 is pretty long
mine died at 8:44 on prog kill
that's a long kill
regardless the intermissions are always the same timers
not killed kurog in a few weeks, been on rasz
and last farm night on it I took my hunter to try and loot the wep
Mo...
sup
hi
hey
Sending DM on the add phase is a waste imo
Hey guys! Just came back to make a visit to assa (not played the spec since bfa) and was super excited about getting KB back, just to see they swapped the talent tree nodes. What was the reason the devs told us for the change?
Cause to my eyes it makes a super cool spell get shadowed by the most boring talent ever
They dont want us to be happy
people complained we couldn't take dtb with anything else (capstone) and since dtb + KB would be too powerful they made them choice nodes - problem is DTB is just super strong and what kept KB a competitor before was the preeceding 3 point node (Zoldyck's) being stronger than dashing scoundrel but now dashing is 2 points and you have to go through it for KB too.
Ugh, sounds like poor design to me, numbers aside
I might be totally wrong but isnt the spec just a maintenance gamplay now? Appart from the Vendetta and Exsang windows?
Like refresh and envenom spam and something spicier every 2/3 mins
If you don’t play exsang there is no spice
Shiv on cooldown Deathmark + vanish and then maintain and spam
And exsang is spicy in the same way that like expired soup is spicy
Not to mention how poorly the cds line up xD
Glad to see I'm not too mistaken then
Thanks!
Loved the analogy
Ever had McDonald's Sprite?
Its the fire
honestly
im in favour of letting us take kb
adds some gameplay
out with exsang, in with kb
I think thats the majority of us
I can't believe they didn't just give KB like a 15% buff or whatever to compensate.
I suspect they don't like us using it
It was so good and now it's been sad for months
I mean, KB doesn't have execute, zoldycks did so they kinda fixed that
I cried when we lost the ability in BFA and I was getting sad at that level now too
being able to consolidate cds
functionally makes it better in execute
ngl feels like sin has been largely the same forever
Youre the second person to say that in here today
and i disagree
Same core mechanics sure... but rotation has changed here and there
we press ambush for blindside vs having a dedicated button for it back in MoP or whever
they kept it till
but comparing it to bfa and sl it feels the same
And not in BFA either
I played sub For castle then when they started giving us love i swapped
Did sin All of Sanctum and most of Sep
I went sin once frost set + dashing was theorycrafted
outside of that I did alternate specs on farm and played sin for like 3 farm weeks
yep, looking back on sin over the years
honestly I love the core gameplay of pooling for envenom and whatnot
was druid for legion sadly
I remember our gm and I looking through logs regarding agonising poison xd
I’ve been feral until this season
my favorite part of legion was being able to eat and drink between envenoms
nothing will beat the feeling of getting 2 poison bomb procs during MA opener in legion 👌
and nothing will beat the feeling of despair of that never happening for the rest of the night
True 30apm spec
your raid team wiped that pull there I fix for u
despair
is anyone else's sims not taking into account the correct amount of damage from the Primordial stones?
Lariat doesnt take the ring's stones into account right?
i cant believe im dropping over 700 crit for this ring
I had 5k crit man i was so proud of it
im doing lfr as assa and it feels amazing, im doing 50k at 384 with shit items
glad to hear it
the UI is kinda old and janky
but you get used to it
I don't think it's that bad
@brazen zodiac probably has a better opinion on that, she just started

honestly
