Imagine being so wrong on something you can easily prove is wrong, you mute somebody for calling out your bullshit act, which is acting right when you are actually wrong about the subject currently being discussed (soothing got a nerf which means it isn't a net 0 change) While LMFAO'ing me despite you clearly being wrong if you thought for one second about it.
"LMFAOOOOO"
"He still has no idea"
But no you have the special role so whatever you say is law.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Realz gets feedback, and yet nothing changes for months.

I can only conclude that either:

  1. Blizzard somehow missing feedback
  2. Blizzard is deliberately leaving us in the dust
  3. They don't have the man power and have to work on other specs first

And all of these seem like a problem that should be addressed

Because numerically assa aoe isnt really that bad, so you cant really buff it significantly without it being too strong, so you have to tune something else down or make it feel different somehow. And to figure out the best way to do that isnt something you can do in 10 minutes

# gusty mirage there's a stark difference between a class being undertuned and the theorycrafte...

It wasnt overperforming in any aspect of raid testing either, unless my guilds mages are playing the spec really badly. Just seems like a really weird thing to cling on some 9.0.5 apl change and just determine that theyre being dishonest with their sims, whilst actively advocating for buffs for your own class. I personally would like to see all classes get the tuning they deserve, not only rogue, even if I dont play them

I also loved back in SL when i was playing warrior (mostly for pvp so i had a pvp covenant) and proposed an APL change to one of their theorycrafters that would make this underplayed covenant ~1% better in sims and the response i got was that "nobody is gonna play that anyway so why bother".

# gusty mirage as if Cev hadn't been a vital part of theorycrafting for the majority of SL

He could’ve been, he could not. My point was that going into the tier we werent playing the spec like that because TCs missed it. It doesnt matter to me if it was Cev who figured it out, whispyr or the warlock discord, but it still got figured out later which is what happens from time to time. And as I said earlier Cev wont care about what I consider his ”role” in this discord to be, and I find it weird that youre pushing THAT out of this as your agenda, that im trying to somehow diminish him, when I just randomly used his name for an example

why you should play assassination wowhead guide "Is a rogue, and provides all the powerful effects rogue is known for. (You can also play the other rogue specs, one of which will almost always be good)"

Tbh I think you struck the right tone. Like it was obvious how much doom and gloom there was for the spec but it didn't come off as overly negative or whiny to me. It struck the right balance of 'Yo, shit is fucked' without it coming off as petty.

#

Though Atrophic maybe should have been referenced as a raid buff.

oak tangle
near valley
slow needle
#

For most people maybe but 3.6% dr is useful for the subset of players that are hitting bosses they don't overgear.

balmy condor
#

3.6% sounds good

#

but it's only from direct boss abilities

#

and doesn't count towards environmental effects for example

#

no raid is setting up a group and looking for a rogue because of atrophic

#

which makes it less of a raid buff and more of a "well it exists"

#

which is sort of how I framed it in the article

#

Most things come from bosses nowadays though.

Atrophic is just nice to have but far from mandatory to bring

I genuinely thought the reasons not to play sin began a lot earlier than they actually did (after the Rogue being Rogue part). Then I saw the subtitle and was like “oh, those were the good things”

Great article nonetheless, thank you Whispyr

lmao i had the same reaction at first

#

one of the issues brought up is the button bloat. I feel like assassination has the least button bloat out of all 3 rogue specs. every time I try sub I just can't figure out where else to put more keybinds, so I switch back to assassination

cobalt hemlock
#

does hekili help only with more the basics of the class or can it help with better parses too?

grim jay
#

If you are gigabad

#

It might help

#

But we generally advise not using it anyways

frosty cedar
#

Usually parsing is going to take into account your whole fight strategy going in to an encounter so it won't really help you with that if your looking for high logs

sleek shale
grim jay
#

High parses on sin is ignoring as much of the fight/strategy as you can anyways kekdog

frosty cedar
#

I mean more your personal DPS strategy rather than a raid wide one OMEGAKEKW

grim jay
#

Oh, fair enough prayge

royal lantern
#

ignore mechanics, dont get hit by forced movment, get externals, if possible pad like a insane ape, have decent spec gameplay rng

grim jay
#

As long as your aoe pad is good enough you actually get rewarded for playing atleast one or two platforms on dathea for example 2ez

#

Which is technically playing the mechanic

#

But yeah, in general it is that way

#

Still, for hekili to help you get better parses you need to be kinda bad (no offense)

#

And its pretty meh in general to use something like that

royal lantern
#

yeha, the big problem with stuff like hekili is, you dont actually learn the Spec or why you are using X now

#

and instead just press what it says

#

and, well, ofc its also not optimal gameplay

I was sure BM would be lowest on WCL DPS ranking this week. it was very very close.
oh well, 11th week in a row for us. we're gonna close this season with 3 months of worst performing spec.
But I'm hopeful for next raid. I expect we should at least be mid there.

How important is the gem ring dps wise vs a bis from before the ring ?

It takes like 1 hour to get it

Its like 1.5% ST compared to 421 with socket

And maybe even BiS next tier

Yeah That's true

gaunt moat
#

It definitely won't. Not even compared to the other specs.
But performance-wise, I expect the spec to do better than some other classes. unlike this season where we've been at the overall bottom for 3 months.
And it might ignite some interest in the spec. but that's not super likely.

Depleted by 10lvls.. damn

raven knoll
limber lion
#

As if that matters at all

#

You're gonna be doing a bunch of keys anyways and pushing the key higher

#

Doesn't matter if you start at 20 or 13

raven knoll
#

It kinda does. When an item drops from +13 you cannot upgrade it to max ilvl possible

spice spire
#

Eventually you can

#

I mean he’s right. If you’re doing keys anyway, you’ll push to where you should be

spice surge
#

All it means is that you have less choice in what dungeons to play unless you grind up all of your partys keys and play with the same people all the time

raven knoll
dark token
#

I think this means if you do a +20 you are getting a +10 ilvl item out of the vault also

Looks like ima aim for a 24

spice spire
#

omw

spice spire
#

Looks like you’d have to run appropriate keys to upgrade to a level where higher upgrades apply tho

#

Which is kind of annoying

spice surge
#

I mean ye we dont know the new dungeons that well, but the new +10s are the equivalent of current ~+13s and most people that do their weekly 20 would probably consider a +13 way too easy

#

Just seems like an excessive drop, but it is what it i guess

oak tangle
#

they are also rebalancing stamina and mob damage which maybe adds to that

fleet pagoda
#

i think the ability to upgrade is also less time gated, so maybe that's a factor in it all?

limber lion
#

Who cares lol

spice surge
#

4

#

Or well if you meant to the equivalent of a current 20 its less

#

But since you want to be running 20s its gonna take atleast 4 keys to push it to 20 from 10

limber lion
#

You'll be doing like a bunch of dungeons that week anyways, so it doesn't really matter

spice surge
#

Idk its not really a problem for me i have plenty of time, but it just seems like it forces people to play dungeons they dont need anything from until they get the ones they actually want to play

oak tangle
limber lion
#

Shouldn't you get upgrades from every dungeon

spice surge
limber lion
#

Mm alright

oak tangle
#

i thought a 7 is 415, so a 10 would be at ilvl

limber lion
#

But yeah I do get that it might be annoying initially, but it legit takes less than a day to get back to where you want to be

#

You'll be playing the next patch for like 4 months, so one day won't matter too much.

oak tangle
#

or was 7 410, idr

spice surge
#

Its just needless extra grinding, which is something they tend to avoid now in dragonflight

#

But ye

limber lion
#

Yeh, but also if you think about it

#

It kinda forces people to do keys that they don't need gear from

oak tangle
#

told all my raiders to get 410 before new raid

limber lion
#

Which means that they're forced to try the new dungeons out

spice spire
#

Instead of just no lifing two dungeons

#

For gear

limber lion
#

Which is a valid thing in itself

spice spire
#

Which ig ur right technically

#

But it does feel like a weird step

spice surge
#

Ye i know, i just think -7 or something would be better

spice spire
#

Idk maybe I play the system

limber lion
#

So you get to try out all the new dungeons at least a few times before you start grinding one or two dungeons

spice spire
#

And I’m like “damn, this makes sense, we’re chuckling”

#

But from a gut reaction it does seem like an odd move

oak tangle
#

i think they should not deplete your keys at all tbh. because the panda is still there for you to manage your own

fleet pagoda
#

i suspect they want to avoid people getting a key above their weight class, as well, and then stubbornly get owned trying to finish it for the maximum rewards at the detriment of fun
