stuff will eventually get changed

#

we play it anyways

burnt latch
#

i for one am excited at the opportunity to play progress as a different class, a nice change 🙂

grim jay
#

I'm pretty excited for the raid loot upgrading thingy

#

makes extending less annoying

#

and less likely to get beat up over bad rng

burnt latch
#

we didnt extend once this tier so didnt even think about that but yeah thats a good thing

#

makes getting a good trinket from heroic feel way better

#

in the long run

#

What if Crimson Tempest or a talent which upgrades it, extended the duration of DoT's by 1 second just like spriests' mind sear/mind flay

#

or fan of knives idk

subtle tundra
#

then you'd only spam envenom

#

which would make the spec even worse

#

first step to fixing assa is removing ic

#

vanish tping me and killing me is unfun

#

sectech missing is unfun

#

no smart rupture is annoying

Its a bandaid thats supposed to fix current assa aoe problems, but doesnt alow much future desing

i raid heroic every week and never heard this

m+

#

when you vanish at max long arms range, the shadowstrike tps you

#

it shouldnt

#

lots of m+ mechanics require standing at max range

#

it kills me like 1x a week

#

happens a lot more but not in dangerous spots

burnt latch
#

hmm not happen to me tbh but only do like 20-21 key for weekly chest so

#

dont need to mby vanish there

grim jay
#

happened to me once bcs I dont max range often

@burnt latch I need you to precloak runic brand so I can definitively have an answer MadgeRightNow

#

Since ur the only rogue I know that logs all of their m+ runs

spice surge
spice spire
#

Then it’s definitely a bug compared to intended design.
Again, only log I found that did it was also 3 months ago - so it also could also be fixed

#

So I need warcieft to replicate insanecat

Help me warcieft, you’re my only hope

I mean ye its probably a bug, but thats how it is

Hello, I have a question. Is it possible to retrieve alchemical flavor pot by re-crafting the gear with another reagent (Ex: fang or blue silken lining) or it gets destroyed?

burnt latch
#

and I dont think i've ever tried that

#

since u need cloak to live the triple spears on a high enough key

burnt latch
#

so i dont think i'd ever use cloak for pre runic brand

What kind of not berry are you btw??

#

oh another sin rogue suggestion

#

you know how we have pocket pick?

#

why not have elite mobs drop :) a special item that increases sin dam by 20% :D

#

to balance it, you can use pick pocket on bosses, but it'll have a rng chance to fail. so you have to pick pockets bosses a bit for this powerful dps burst gain. so ti has flavor and strength and balanced in a fair way

#

this replaces dtb too for further balancing

Feels like assas rogue is a meme spec right now lol : F tier mythic+ / Lowest dmg in raid / Struggling in pvp after the constant nerfs idk this is sad and it doesnt even show up on tuning notes

welcome to dragonflight buddy

we are allready over the dooming phase

and halfway trought the depression phase

its horny posting now

but dont forget, rogue is op, just check weekly heroic boss dmg logs(everyone is padding adds and ignores the boss, boss dies in 2min)

Heya all! Iam mainly a subtlety player and never touched sin deeply enough to know how to play it properly. I want to try the off the meta event next week and I tought its a fun way to learn how to play this spec. Is there any build you would advise for a total sin noob that is nice to learn the rotations with

royal lantern
#

faq has all the builds you need

pseudo hamlet
gaunt moat
#

I also made that one a month ago hah

deleting outlaw would improve the class and the game

I'll just play feral.

Feral is down bad too

Their tier is omega garbage

i'll just play another game starege

10.1 rn is summed up with "play ranged"

cus most melee are not that great lol

my guild is like 70% melee 🥲

And we just recruited a really good feral

let them reroll to ret

#

small question about gear for assassination, is it exactly the same as Subtlety? i just did some testing on raidbots but i sim hugely lower with my assassin spec. (iam geared mainly for subtlety)

vestal wren
#

assassination does like slghtly diffrent stats, all 3 rogue spec love crit tho

#

!ss you can look at profiles in the spreadsheet to get a rough estimate of it

prisma monolithBOT
rocky ruin
still sable
#

i just copied one of the builds of top 1 player sin spec as it has a lot of passives for M+ and multitarget damage is fine. but single target is just plainly low

deft flicker
still sable
#

sim with sub arround 85k and 55k on sin

vestal wren
#

e.g. assassination on single target

still sable
#

thank you thats helpful

vestal wren
#

vs. subtlety

rocky ruin
still sable
#

i played combat back in the day and it was fun, it was more built arround being in the shadows

#

especially pvp and eternal stunlocks

vestal wren
#

you will in the end still need to sim for what gear you have, so raidbots should help you out ^^

still sable
#

thanks fuu ❤️

vestal wren
#

i think people are nostalgic

still sable
#

i think so too, i remember it being waiting a lot on energy and cooldowns

#

definatly wasnt as quick paced

#

as we have now

vestal wren
#

there is a small but loud crowd that would love to move the retail design back to classic

rocky ruin
#

@vestal wren why does you spreadsheet so much versa? The ring, daggers and tierset?

#

for assa

vestal wren
#

its just the result of comparing each gear slot

#

you can look at simulations

#

its never as simple as one piece beeing better than the other purely from stats

#

because you have so many factors

#

like item level, talents, tier set bonus, special effect items, ....

#

and it can be that certain items are on par

#

!fuu

So I kind of get their point, but current design feels better IMO

#

Everything is better now than before. Except the lore 😦

vestal wren
#

also one thing is, stats are incredibly close

winter gale
#

Or the general feeling of the game

still sable
vestal wren
#

it might take slightly more vers because of the 10.0.7 ring effect

#

I went RFD last week via dungeon finder. Nostalgia struck me so hard 🥹

(and assa always did)

And then AI became a bitch and sent me to HoA 🤣

deft flicker
# winter gale Everything is better now than before. Except the lore 😦

I stopped following lore after the end of Legion. Got a bit tired of this whole “pitiful locals ask for your help oh great champion!! this hedgehog right here surrounded by 12 of its own corpses dares terrorise our village pls kill it we hope this piece of magic rock that everyone except us seems to know the true power of can be enough to pay for the inconvenience” thing

vestal wren
#

there is a argument for mastery for both sub and sin

#

because it works rly well in multi target

deft flicker
#

Law doesn’t mind it either it seems

winter gale
#

Same here. Before we were ‘nobody’ and world felt bigger. Now we are a champion that saves the world from patch to patch

#

But thats for some other channel

vestal wren
#

outlaw has the issue of only having 2 strong stats

deft flicker
#

I know haste doesn’t really do much for outlaw, but some said mastery sims aren’t that far from crit-vers ones

#

Especially for AoE

vestal wren
#

single target

#

dungeon slice

#

mastery seems not terrible with more targets

I'm interested in these charts. May I ask how can I see them? (Hopefully I didn't miss them on faq)

royal lantern
#

rogue secondarys are very very simelar overall

#

and "wrong" secondarys is never a huge difference

still sable
#

i was like wtf how is this possible xD

#

now all i gotta do is learn my rotation for single target as i do horrendous damage with the mythic plus build

#

and learn how not to be out of energy all the time

Oh yeah not really commenting on outlaw only, just since i dont use the simc standalone client anymore, I dont get to see these plots as much.

vestal wren
#

you can run stat plots on raidbots too

#

advanced simulations and you have the "open report" option.
All the stat simulations from the graphs showed are linked in the spreadsheet too

main blaze
#

Oh really? I didnt know that. I will try that out.

severe orchid
#

How does echoing reprimand works? can anyone explain to me please, i am lost

true basalt
#

It empowers some combo points, and if you use a finisher on a blue combo point, it counts as a finisher with full combo points

#

So lets say u use evenom on 2 combo points but the last one is blue(empowered by echoing reprimand), it’ll deal the damage of an envenom with 6 cp(or 5 if you dont use stratagem which you should use)

#

@severe orchid

severe orchid
#

like i suppose to use it on 2-3 according to the buff it gives?

red swift
#

it also "uses up" that point, so you only only get that benefit on a particular point once per cast of ER

true basalt
#

You just play normally, and if you generate combo points enough to hit a blue one, you just use the finisher then

red swift
#

it lasts 45 seconds too, so if you happen to land on an empowered point you just send the finisher then, but don't try to force it, you have time to use them up

true basalt
#

Yes exactly

severe orchid
#

does anyone have Wa for the combo points ?
Mine doesnt seems to be working

true basalt
#

I did one thing but thats just for me to use it better, i downloaded a WA which tracks this thing , and i added a jedi sword sound everytime my combo points land on an empowered one

true basalt
#

I cant atm cuz im not home but if no one gives u the WA for that, i can share it when i get home

true basalt
#

I also added sounds to rupture and garrote. If i switch to a target with no dots, that sounds just pops out and i use the dots on them

red swift
#

I'm just using elvui and it marks the combo points on the tracker so I didn't need one, afraid I can't help with this

true basalt
#

I am more of an audio reflex player 😭

#

I cant play wow with music cuz i use audio to react to stuff

severe orchid

#

NugComboBar can be used if all you need is a CP tracker

Will be still be using the same crafted gear just upgraded in 10.1?

open marlin
#

they changed how lariat works, and buffed a few of the embellishments, and flaring cowl was particularly good because it procc'd the eggnog ring... so we'll have to see how BiS sims work out, and also you'll have to sim yourself for the lariat as you lose and regain sockets over the tier

foggy temple
#

Thanks. I just got a spark and wondering if flaring or another dagger would be the safer choice going into patch

winged veldt
#

@eternal nymph since when is there a new spark? Where is this info at because only thing I was tracking is a new primal not a new spark

#

I dont doubt there is one just asking cuz it seems I am out of the loop on this

"Spark of Shadowflame" nevermind lol

yeah, they aren't available yet but will be in the new patch

hey!!

how do you get 100% chance on poison bomb?

you....dont?

#

Huh?

midnight spire
#

no, may be half the time it goes off.

#

8% chance per combo point spend... thats max 56%?

#

but when I check warcraft logs... they have 100% chance. HOW

royal lantern
#

they dont?

#

its litearlly 40-48% for everyone

#

there is no 100% poison bomb lol

#

i think you confuse it with the enemy having 100% of the PB duration as a uptime

aka the tanks never moved enemys out of it when it proced

#

must be warcraft logs thing... showing same casts for envenom and poison bomb.

royal lantern
#

yeha, thats either the most lucky MF in the world

I think it's warcraft logs being wonky, I checked my logs and on both bosses I bothered checking it says the same number of casts for envenom and poison bomb

#

is it ever a gain to mut over ambush during dm + lust?

#

since energy is a non factor + double poison app

royal lantern
#

eh, iirc there was like

#

during execute+hero going on, it would be a 0,1% gain or shit like that

#

like

#

yeha

#

but not during pull on razs for example

royal lantern
#

dont even think about it, enjoy those ambush into ambush into ambush into ambush moments

inland basalt
#

Would yall take a percent gain in mastery/vers and lose item level for the drakebreaker wrist/belt two set before being upgraded?

#

Currently have conquest gear on wrist and blue drakebreaker belt on, or is this nitpicking

uncut echo
#

Nitpicking because in pve you'll just get a piece to 415 via valor.

storm belfry
#

Could just sim it as well

warm plover
#

Why do you vanish garrote just before esxang in opener? inst more worth to vanish garrote after the bleed run out? Is it to sync vanish and deathmark for the 2nd use?

royal lantern
#

sync+getting an absolute max duration exsang garrote

#

the difference bettwen syncing it and not is trivial minimal, so we just sync for convenience

#

Would many Problems of sin disappear, if Blizz Sets the scent-talent to 2 points with the same Power (1.5% agi per rupture)? This could lead to a better accessibility to carnage overall and provide better st options for aoe builts. What do you guys think?

(And I know: exh needs to get deletet or redesigned, but it seems like Blizz will need time or a easier solution for now^^)

balmy condor
#

so the question is

#

does getting 1 talent point extra on the spec tree

#

fix the spec

silk bane
#

i mean obviously.... if i had one more point i could take doulbe shiv and just shiv both my eyes out so i have an excuse to finally stop playing this game

royal lantern
burnt latch
#

I think sin would be in a better spot if u could select every talent in the spec tree

#

Maybe no double choice node selections

#

But every other talent should be able to grab once u reach max level

oak sky
#

not enough tbh

royal lantern
#

at max level, you should be able to multiclass imo

winged quail
#

feel like 1 more point is just one more in the execute talent, nothing changes

rasz fight = wipe 100 times to p1 winds, 30 times to intermission, 10 times to p2 intermission and then finally kill boss 3rd time into 3rd phase

btw, any tips for phase 2?
Right now i'm just kinda sendin' everything whenever.
usually my pot comes off CD in the middle of 1st shields.
i use grieftorch off CD
then 3rd shields I use DM again.

obviously, shields damage is not an issue and they break easily.
I'm just wondering if you're doing anything differently

steel ridge
#

After the nerfs intermission 1 is so much shorter

#

Or easier to get up in time

gaunt moat
#

yeah, i think i'll stop potting on pull as well.
we already have our other rogue not dpsing at all that phase and we still push too quick.

steel ridge
#

we dont want to fiddle with all cd assignments in intermssion and stuff, for me it doesnt make a difference but others might not be so flexible

lavish hazel
#

do we pull energy for shiv ?

steel ridge
#

just send it if you dont have the 2 charge talent

#

if you do, you can get away with not sending it on cd asap

#

in other words, no you dont pool

lavish hazel
#

do i have to be 4+ cp to send it ?

#

to envenom just after ?

#

and how many env do i have to do in shiv window ?

royal lantern
#

you dont aim for that stuff tbh

#

like, you just send shiv on cd, ammount of envenoms is not an important thing, can wait 1-2 seconds with an envenom when you have finisher CP and shiv is comming up in the next 1-2 Seconds, but you dont massively play around it

lavish hazel
#

ok thx

#

do i have to try to maintain envenom buff ?

royal lantern
#

it maintains itself in DF

#

we have a ridicolous envenom uptime without focusing on it

#

atleast in st, for m+ aoe you try to keep envenom up after all bleeds+CT are out bettwen the other abilitys

but i'd rather play poe

just triple garrote on the skellies and then do ic after those have run out

Assassination
All ability damage increased by 3%.

Something like this i bet

i still want to see a single change to IC (applies the stealth multiplier to garrote)

and if you wanna go the extra mile reduce its CD to 30 seconds

3% is 3%

And we'll get another 3% after that

And another

the other day i thought about how awesome the fusion of IC + Sepsis would be

#

applying sepsis to all 8 IC targets and gaining a stealth ability use

#

i would nut

#

IC wouldnt be a dead button in ST anymore and do something worthwhile

shut owl
#

I'm missing where the IC improves ST in that

steel ridge
#

easy, you get more improved garrote uptime and sepsis on the target, how does that not improve ST?

deft flicker
#

Might be cooked but what if Iron Wire worked on Sepsis regardless of stealth

shut owl
#

oh; you mean what if IC and sepsis were the same button; not if they had synergies

jade abyss
#

Btw f*** exsang

steel ridge
#

sepsis on its own is a somewhat dead talent rn, give it a second life baking it into IC

jade abyss
#

Give us kingsbane back

my dude; folks use fusion/combo/wombo/whatever other thing the kids are saying nowadays fairly interchangably in the virtual meatspace that is discord

deft flicker

only hot takes on this discord apparently

steel ridge
# shut owl I did, but ok

how would you understand fusing IC and Sepsis together understand any differently? both effects in one ability, same position as IC currently, sepsis could be tuned accordingly to not deal absurd amounts of damage.

tacit wedge
#

Bring back kingslayer, spec is saved

steel ridge
#

fixing Assassination has like a few viable options, blizzard just needs to grow some balls and actually do something to its aoe that might overshoot it, but they overshoot regularly ret cough

static glacier
#

idk, ret aoe has been good for a long time

#

this expac and the last

#

before the rework ret aoe was powerful too

steel ridge
#

was talking about ret as a whole

#

its just ridiculously overtuned

#

but blizzard did it regardless

static glacier
#

I just don't understand this arbitrary decision that our aoe should be subpar while feral gets good aoe out of nowhere.

steel ridge
#

why they arent taking a risk with assassination is beyond me

static glacier
#

nevermind aoe, let us be good at low target cleave again

steel ridge
#

but aoe is fixeable via a few knobs, like giving CT a negative scaling with less targets hit and up the damage a ton

flint tusk
steel ridge
#

oh and delete exsang

#

You guys making exsang get excited

#

Going all uwu on you all

not a fan of it on raszageth at all for example

no its not just tuning, the ability sucks

not numberwise

ah to play? it does break up our regular gameplay ye

steel ridge

it literally is garbage design

deft flicker

New business plan: give exsang to sub, they like planning stuff anyways

flint tusk
#

It’s pretty unique in what it does.
And having on demand melting is pretty fun.
Especially in pvp. Got i remember when it was 400%!

It’s new CD just makes it super clunky.

Also KB is in the poison side of the tree while Exsang is bleed-oriented so that wouldn’t make much sense

flint tusk

Well apparently a second shadow priest rework in two patches was more important 😂

uncut echo

Doesnt deserve to exist in pvm

static glacier

any class with only 1 dps spec will always be fixed faster / get more attention than a spec among 3 dps specs

shut owl

gimme that pre-tuning CT damage on next tier; I want to suffer gloriously with three bleeds. just make CT copied for funsies and see what happens

look at survival, ignored for how long?

they put more time into more popular specs

unborn geode
#

i miss when haste was king and we had vemon rush to help counter energy drain

royal lantern
#

haste does almost nothing for energy mate

#

crit has a bigger impact on the gameplay cus you generate more cp, more cp=more finishers, and finishers are cheap energy wise

balmy condor
#

I mean the reason haste isn’t king and we don’t have venom rush

#

Is there is no energy drain to counter

#

The spec is basically maxed out

royal lantern

yeha, energy is insane in DF aswell

cant go much higher

@balmy condor whats your gut felling, will they tune down energy gain a bit for the next expac? cus for sure wont happen in DF

balmy condor

No clue

I hope so

My gut feeling is not tuning anything 💀

No but actually why would they tune it down they like homogenization

the stupid high energy generation is also a reason why sub is so.......broken right now

Thistle tea is the root of all evils basically

not even tea itself, just to much energy in general everywhere

the class tree can be summed up with "energy lol"

oak sky
#

No that doesnt follow my narrative

royal lantern
#

i mean, tea is 1 of the bigger offenders

oak sky
#

A lot of this shit is a result of the old trees migrating to the new trees

unborn geode
#

i feel sub has to energy regen, i haven't touch outlaw so can't say.

Tea itself i feel is nice but when you are out of charges you feel starved and have to tone back a bit to make sure you don't run out of energy to use for your bleeds

oak sky

Deeper and vigor together
