Bruh if ur going to cheap shot as OL you'd use vanish
why would you be considering using it if not for that reason
But also I don't think any sane person cheap shots in pve content
Its pretty unlikely you ever need it
Never in raid, very rarely in certain m+ keys
But like if i was in stealth and there was a mob casting and no kicks up and somehow i had no other stops
I cheap shotted a haunting gaze a few times. y u do me bully 😦
Its definitely omega rare
Like temple or academy on scary fortified weeks you might stop some casts when your tank has run out of cds
Especially with gouge
Dw I already knew u were insane
If you're pugging 25's with no coms and people don't have CC for something and you're forced into cheap shotting to stop it, then yes you do. And you don't always have vanish as sometimes you need to use it to get back into your proc rotation.

based af bestie


My point is that you have 2-3 stops b4 ur considering a cheap shot tbh
3 if ur taking gouge ofc
i really dunno how you guys have the space on your keyboard for all these skills
i dont
ez gouge is r, focus gouge is shift r
Who says I have space kek
is there any i can combine in a macro lol
gouge on r is meta
Yeah and pugging places like TJS is aids, and you can't trust anyone to do anything so you use literally all of your stops within 10-15 seconds
Gross, clean your keyboard
sap 0 blind -

then shift for the focus version ez
i click blind, sap, and my defensives

I am a clicker

Oh so they should expect buffs right? Wtf
no tettles said its A tier
Thats super low for it

Oh i see nvm my bad
Ya but assa will have more uptime
we got 20% shiv buff
Then other melee
huge buffs apparently
So we will win
Gaps the dps loss
At least 10k gap
Yo is there any place that gives an openings rotation on ST?
Blizz balance has the power of foresight
Thank god they caught that

Tbf I like playing sin at times
Sometimes I just want to be able to change my Spotify playlist mid fight
Without dropping damage
you guys remember the anxiety feeling before a test where you didn't study... i got that because im swapping to spriest and still dont know how to play it
Completely out there question but how busted would having access to both DTB and Kingabane be?
insanely
There’s a reason they aren’t 
you wouldnt be able to change you spotify playlist in combat if you had both
Every lethal poison proc makes the final hit punch harder.
So double the procs is exponential increase
Ah gotcha. Thnx for the explanation bud

!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
uhm, ackkeaulyallylly sir


an exponential increase would imply that the stacks multiply the current tick damage of kingsbane, which would cause the stacks to multiply each other, but that isn't the case because the stacks modify the base damage, making the stack count a linear increase


ackshually
dtb would just double the stacks by 2
imagine if my balls weren't in quake's dad's mouth
imagine if you could write a your dad joke without needing 3 apostrophes
english is a second language bigot
english is your job dumbass
Indiscriminate carnage should just be standard not at the bottom of the talent tree.
I wish you two would relieve the tension 
he would have to suck's my's ball's for that
But youre quaking, shouldnt you interrupt their casts?
The only thing quaking rn is Whispyr thinking about oxì
mods shitposting again
I'll ban you for having a dissenting opinion sir this is a dictatorship
Which spec looks best next tier? Or is it still looking like all three are quite even?
destro lock
Warlock
mods shitposting again (positive vibes)
much better
Yea trust me I know
out of the rogue specs
outlaw is looking like the least shit
Yeah those ones
but like
Outlaw ST is so miserable to play
it's still shit
so
you're looking at like a pound of shit, or slightly less than a pound of shit
hope you enjoy the gamba build
that's the correct answer tbh
not a gamba build tier
Keep it gamba
their 138k is gamba
yeah but idc about that specific sim
IDK, I'll prolly stay rogue for atro and just deal with it, was fun last tier
Outlaw ST is depressing to play though
your jobs offer a 401k?
open an IRA
I did
and not the Ronkles kind of IRA
(I'm smarter than you)
my IRA has no money either though dw
we can share ramen together
I have an ira with 4k in it (I’m never going to retire)
sell butthole pics for money
@stuck knoll thoughts
Man I'm a sub main and practicing the rotation for assass and I'm lost
you ignored my question last night
fuck you
which one sorry
Are you playing aoe cuz if then yes
the meme about slovenian men vs women
Onlyfans > being a loyer
it's the same thing, except there's like 3 more buttons
what
maintain rupture/gar, use shiv and er on cooldown, mutilate to 5, spam envenom
that's....
literally it
I guess use sbs charges on cooldown
I don’t like the er either brother
Man 3 buttons is massive
think of gloomblade like envenom, but also like mutilate, and also like shiv
One of my biggest question is
and then think of gloomblade like deathmark
and also vanish
and just think of gloomblade
when do I vanish during rotation not opener and do I use it on Ambush 100% of the time or do I want to garrote sometimes?
vanish then deathmark or deathmark then vanish?
every 2 min it's vanish->gar->deathmark
I mean
you can do either
it doesn't matter
but for the sake of argument lets say before
probably, cant tell you I dont leave the house
because then every 4 minutes you vanish -> gar -> exsang -> deathmark
could also become enlightened and simply refuse to play exsang
like a true gigachad
and then literally nothing you press matters
just use things when they come up
very based
what, did you do double shiv or some cursed shit
I just had the point in imp poisons past 5months
yeah
or is that only a thing now?
that's what you're supposed to do
on your link for 10.1 its not
oh so its because of the buffs
buffs and tier
well I simmed it on my gear was +300 !
!
idk
whack
imp poison good
you did good
no problems detected
I'm like your dying computers antivirus
nothing to see here
would have been more funny if I played wrong talent for 5months
so until tier, run imp poison 2/2?
no its just the non-exsang build
ah
Is my 2nd exsang supposed to line up with death mark?
most of the time yes, but depends on kill timers
Then I'm doing something wrong.
ah I see
quik mafs
2 + 2 is 4
any reason why assassin is gonna be A tier next tier ?
because said individual is a clueless idiot
It was a dratnos tier list xd

3 buffs
I bet only 2 buffs would be enough!
but they're actually just full on clueless if they think it's A tier right now

They said every team is gonna have a sin rogue lmao
chicken brain
dratnos in 9.3 saying that our tier bonus is 100% increase during burst
and it wasn't
pog
I was curious why in the guide, Slimy Expulsion Boots (Mast/Vers reduces Haste) is recommended over Toxic Thorn Footwraps (Haste/Crit reduces Stam) when they both do the same damage and have same proc rate. It just seems to me the stats from the Thorn Footwraps is better.
wait did he actually said that
neither one of them returning my DM's
because they don't want to handle the truth
pog
those tier lists are entertainment to be fair
love tier lists
LOLLLLLLLL
more tier lists please
!tierlist
aight this says enough i just thought i was bad
but people don't listen to disclaimers, just skip to end
but
Anyone has a link to the tettles video ?
nvm its jsut assassin thats not so great
ah, gotcha. So the two embellishments recommended are Slimy Boots and toxic patch?
looks like it
If we're using Toxic Patch, wouldn't the Spore Colony Shoulderguards be the better choice for the other? It seems like it does more per minute than the Slimy Boots.
or when it triggers the immediate decay, does that not damage the enemy and just eats the procs?
do they? The description sounds really good, but I know sometimes they work differently in practice
ah, gotcha
your first mistake was trusting tooltips in this game
rookie move
"it says it does the same damage"

the day a tooltip in wow says exactly what it does
Idk what your on about Whispyr
I will eat a shoe
Better be happy spore shoulders arent bis
Less restrictive for tier
We up never been down
I got it. Rogue class is actually promoted to buff class for DR. Like one Mage for int, damage no longer matters.
Compared to ww for physical buff, rogue's ST is actually high enough for A.
Lots of "it"s towards the truth

All rogues are a tier.
yep, thats it. A tier. What that tier is, who can say? But its definitely one of them.
Ready to have to build my groups for all my io rating again because that tier is "not the one for pugging" 
Building a dagger with my spark of shadowflame-any ideas on what secondary stats I should pick for both assassination and sub?
crit mast or crit vers depending on which spec you wanna lean into more
I really prefer assassination but its tough in M+. Prob better to not look bad in raid
then crit mast I guess
hey @balmy condor can i dm you about your guides?
yeh
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
Was looking at your sims whispyr is sophic devotion still best weapon enchant?
They are close in general.
Yes
The only way you would play shadowflame is either to enable eranog ring without flaring cowl
Or to troll
my raid leader has /gkick macro'd to a hotkey so I try not to troll
is it mouseover
-0.4% per shadowflame enchant is not particularly close
lord I hope not, I'd like to have him at least click my raid frame first
sounds like a great guild you want to part of

I kid, I kid. that said my raid leader does probably know most of the classes as well as if not better than the people playing them. their breadth of knowledge regarding wow is pretty impressive.
So what would should we craft for the toxic patch?
so any crafted piece i gather from that. its not specific
ya thats what i was thnkn
Kinda whatever life bound thing you got
There’s a 450 belt from end boss that’s an upgrade
i dont have any atm
But if you’re not getting that far, belt is fine too
thx
@balmy condor with current gear and tier, the buff gives some to m+?
2-3%
ty
i need you on tuesday ned
tell me everything step by step, Play my character for me 🙂
only in m+
so how do i convince my loot council to give me tier first 🙂
u don't
how much money do you have
our tier sucks bro
i know...
go t to meme thought the pain
when you have to put on 2p/2p
depends how hard the buffs be hitting week 1/2
filthy fotm player
iv played nothing but BM hunter for 6 years
time for a change
how did you manage that
welcome to rogue life, we live and die by the magic internet number go up
you like azor?
i miss SOD sin
iv talked to him some about hunter but i like you guys more i think
seem more fun
acceptable response
told my raid i was done with hunter, and tired of playing it. I asked what they wanted and they said a rogue would be nice since we didnt have one
so here i am
im a memer at heart so i feel like i fit in
@scenic jetty I don't miss sod sin
calling us memers smh 
muffled Just a Memer sounds
i mean BM has been pretty bad since corruption outside of this tier, so you kinda have to meme. Feel like this is a fitting tier for rogue
with all of our time on the bench this tier we are going to have some top tier memes in here
raid said they wouldnt bench me since i have atrophic
when they realize its not even that crazy
They must love you
i died 99% less than half our raid on hunter, so no shot i ever die on rogue
Yea, I was the only rogue in my guild... Now I got a trial I gotta compete against :/
poop on em. you got this!
Then your sub ran out and couldnt sim anymore

im embracing the pain and just having fun playing sin
i might sim lower than my hunter last tier, but it is what it is
pro tip:never mention that
just let them belive atrohpic is a 2nd Devotion aura
dont worry i havent, they think its 20% DR right now

yeha, that Sounds like something non-rogues think
everything op cus its on rogue 
wait till they see me playin sin in keys 
i mean, assa in keys gets a bit overhated
and i dont even say that as a filthy assa 1trick
iron wire+IC is mad undervalued because nobody knows that its a thing
just sucks at low keys when shit dies fast af
if you have a tank that you reguarly play with, they will LOVE you for ironwire IC lol
its litearlly "everything gets grouped+tank external"
ill say the reason i stick with sin, is because no other spec feels better than when you play it right
aoe or ST

some days ago you mentioned that dtb+ap could be a thing, will you elaborate more on that or will that happen when youre done checking for sim stuff?^^
brother I pinged you with some giga post
^^
wasnt that about IC+AP?
then im cooked nvm
is assa good yet?!?
sorry
That means play ret
If i may say operator, your chosen warframe suits you!
flipping any coin is just rolling a 2 sided dice
it was always outlaw
Not warlock but dratner and tettly put in A tier for raif so probably best melee
watching #subtlety brewing a build without secretech/shadowblades is 10/10
great burst spec btw

doesnt need a full rework like assa
Did tettly also put boomie c tier again?
Nah A tier
Time of sandbagging is over
Assas doesn't need a rework it just needs to be the best ST spec in the game and its fine
shadowblades has been close to optional for a while now lol
wdym its almost the best, we got into A tier on a random tierlist for raid
ik
probably the worst "major cd" in the game lol
Im actually so hyped about the 20% shiv buff its gonna give assa insane burst on 25 sec cd very good for add swaps etc
is it tho
and it was 3min for HOW LONG 
actually not true
deathmark will do enough st damage to outweigh the shb aoe lol
It smells like 128k in here 
I'm so glad we replaced our useless st cd vendetta with great value vendetta!
131k is so much better when others pull almost 150k right 
man

all 3 suck rn
Okay but if our random bullshit proc damage high rolls we do 140k just get good
Its funny that they changed vendetta have more depth to it but deathmark just str8 up has less depth than s3/4 vendetta with the snapshot
Wdym, tettles said assassination received very large buffs, like 20% on shiv!
almost 70dps
when we do over 100k
800 damage a hit

LETS GOOOOOO
📈
Maybe we wont be buffed but all others get nerfed
Blindside > Tiny Toxic Blade even after the buff I guess?
Are some other classes really doing 150k?
nvm seen the sims
last time i heard lock can do 148k
fury and enha are around 145k or so if i remember correctly
~132
Sad
I would understand 1/3 spec to be lower/lowest
But all 3 to be underperforming
I guess they will tune stuff on week 1 or 2
they will nerf rogue again because we do too much dmg on heroic week 🤣
i have the perfect plan, everyone plays with kingsbane, so blizzard sees how dogshit it is, and then they still ignore us on patch notes, but promise kingsbane buffs
surely we will be top ST spec 10.3
Did Tryan change name?
huh
Huh, he didnt. Weird having two people in assa with cooked memes 
hehe, cock memes
i just want my kingsbane back, i miss seeing it in details 😭
Just wait for 10.2, they will surely fix the class!
Can we keep the dooming to a minimum? Thanks.
Guys no dooming my sin rogue sims 5k higher than my outlaw right now
Is Neltharions trinket still amazing for us or is beacon better after the nerfs?
Nelth was cooked before the nerfs
Now it’s really bad
Try simming outlaw with a 2.6 attack speed weapon in main hand

is there any item in the raid where i can gaslight my guild into giving it to me because its so insane even on hc? like diurna ring/grieftorch was
How does this matter at all
I have a one handed my boy
dispenser or beacon
It would be like 45k dps less 

Oh
demonhunters got inspired by the one and only Whispyr and made their own spreadsheet
im somewhat convinced that whisp didnt invent the concept of spreadsheets
yah
Aldriana did, obviously.
Whispyr doesn't even have an item named after him. Rip bozo
yet

Yes and no. What made assa the superior ot is that it doesn't have certain users

I don't know why I expect anything to change but yeah...
it's the same
Psure 80% of the specs play exactly the same as before the patch
^
Idk why i kinda hoped something spicey would happen with assa a kingsbane or something
anything honestly
Until whispyr births a new abomination of talents, things will remain the same
KIR hater
I trust in his ability to create a monster
yo wtf
I don't hate kir specifically, i just hate every outlaw spec. I don't play favorites
seli it's happening
No
yes
the unholy creation of kb+ap
Don't
Please don't
oh no
Whispyr delete the sim go to bed
Hope you step on a Lego and trip face first into a bunch of Playmobil figures
you were happy about AP
Libel
Liberal*
Defamation of character
No
It has ap
based
of course
Just like the dwarves dug too deep in moria, or i dug too deep into my nose when i was 7, you're playing a dangerous game with this... Thing.
I mean it's not really a double dip
AP increases bleed damage
more bleed = more nature
yeah of course
Self inflicted rupture
i mean, somewhat cool i gues?
Replace ap with hemorrhage. Thanks.
Will do better
NO
seli this is fuego

Oh I’ve always wondered
What is the math that makes sbs bad to cast, but good to cast once every minute?
You're getting paid by big pharma for all the chemo we will need after you unveil this build
no math involved, sbs is good to cast
So why don’t you spam it
because why would you
When it’s up
Because it’s more dps
it's not though
just use the charges up when fight is about to end, or use for adds
Right so that’s my question
you use spike when you have no energy for mutilate
If it’s not more dps
that happens quiet fast
@marble hemlock have you ever seen a more beautiful dungeonslice tree
Yeah

no IC gaming?
I mean this doesn't take iron wire
Love playing a bleed boosting capstone together with all the poison talents
This build makes my eyes bleed
and if you want iron wire, you can drop venom rush
:)
and if you want more aoe, you can take ttb
:)
Looks like a damn fine build
whiso, stop cooking
someone who understands real art
Can you drop venom rush for ss??
Whispyr opening up his discord smurfs to support this
thank you outlaw player
your opinion is of little relevance to me, but I will use you to piss off seli
which is a much more noble cause
Art is in the eye of the beholder, but in this case you would need to be blind to not recognize all the beautiful swings in that happy tree
Whispyr casted Exsanguinate
It was very effective
Can't wait for people to actually play this, have 50% envenom uptime and do tank DPS cause it's awful to play
but it does save a point
IC builds also have 50% envenom uptime btw
You don't play ic on st
Hacha is playing rotten on sub the whole time
this is dungeonslice seli

Oh
Please keep cooking, I need a M+ build that doesn't suck at ST
warlock
You could play demo
step1: dont play assa
Whew you were faster
that's what my gf tells me too

But I wanna be yellow 😦


oh look
you need help
m+ andys going into ROGUE UTILITY arguments again
anyway
would you like to help seli
psure this build will suck compared to any IC build
Details has the option of changing the color of your bar
it's -2.5% in dslice
okay and that happens how often? once per 2-3 iterations?
idk the distribution of pulls, but when i last checked (granted,that was 2months ago) it was largely 3-6t
which is kinda prime territory for AP, obviously
but when you do smth like an azure vault, or in new season, brackenhide or nelth, you dont do baby pulls
and ic silence is still very good for grouping up packs, which is dps increase for entire grp
Is the nature damage from ct going to tick as well if it’s spammed in aoe?
IC+Iron wire is so mad undervalued man
grouping everything+tank external every 45sec on a pull is not bad lol
This is beautiful whispyr. Is exsang a hard req though?
as hard as it is in other builds
the tier is just extra damage, spamming CT would give you the same damage, but 20% more because tier
I jokingly told my friend we might be pushed into some bs playstyle with AP. Don't you dare do this to us
Oh, so much less once my box implodes the second I get a better swimming trinket?
🏊♂️
dont play exsang, grab a 2nd point improved poison, do more dmg because you dont make micromanagment mistakes with exsang 
enjoy your swim
look at it that way, now you can play AP on raging weeks and not feel bad
i mean
youll still want to soothe
meaning youll hold shiv
Where'd you get this vid of my dad
Because nothing feels better than having to hold on to your DPS for utility
okay
Im not ur dad
Please give me hope this spec is competitive this tier..I don't wanna gear my unholy 
youre still sitting on a charge each pack
you dont hold on, you just hope that they either die fast enough that it doesnt matter, or they live long enough that you have shiv by the time its needed
this wont be competitive
same as ic assa isnt competitive
not in the sense that most people think of in terms of "competitive"
i was competitive with assa in first 3-4weeks of DF, didnt mean i couldnt have done better if i played sub
you're just a hater hater masterbater seli
i mean i applaud your efforts, you know that
so you are the reason assa got nerfed, understood
i just dont see how itll hold up in dungeons where you consistently go big
assa was very good in certain dungeons
azure vault probably the best one
but you also need a tank who is skilled enough to know how to chain like a god
There were some thundering hero sin players. Just don't expect to be invited to pugs
and there isnt a whole lot of those
Love tanks that know more than w
If by some you mean "one", then yes
lets not go down that road
Every vengeance player this tier
You seen this shit?
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
Honestly don’t think you should have issues getting into pugs as sin. Outside of like much higher keys. I’ve not had a problem up to 24 this past season
but ye idk, i still think assa is viable in highkeys, and not just viable but actually good. but you need a godtier tank, and theres like 5+ other specs that would still be better dps wise
Might be once in a blue moon someone comments on it
I’ve only had one person actually kick me when I joined and that was when I was gearing up LOL
i would say you could struggle in keys between 15-18, people there only want the S+ specs
Yeah well
Those ppl are saving you
From a shit time
And that’s when you just do your own key man
why do your own key when you can apply for keys 4levels higher, not get invited due to bad score, blame spec tuning and then cry about it. not saying that thats anybody in here specifically, but thats the majority of the community
Yep
I've been complained at/kicked many times in 20s. People at large enjoy shoving their head into feedbags with regards to "t h e m e t a"
It feels like 95% of tanks have no clue what IC and ironwire does
Everytime I have told someone in the past about doing their own key they make another excuse
tbh i dont think i ever got kicked for playing assa, but i got kicked twice from AA because i was specced into outlaw and not sub 
95% of tanks have no clue what they are doing.
The key I did get kicked from while gearing was an AA tho. Iirc it was just a damn 13. This was months ago
My guild gave up on our drunk 23aa XD
We did it every wrong way and said yeah let's go again, then got beat by router boss on 22
They invited an outlaw then he made a comment and they kicked me
This is why I have three different friendgroups I can run keys with. I never have to struggle with "why you non-meta spec" shit ever

majority of issues that people encounter while playing m+ or trying to push score, have virtually nothing to do with class tuning, and are solely self-made problems due to not putting in the effort thats actually required to succeed at pushing m+
i.e. building a network of friends
This
Unbelievable
Haha, good joke Tryan
Seli lies
...Oh wait
xD
what if you use personality A in friendgroup B

@clever sapphire are you a furry? important question
The only folks in my social circles running keys think they are MDI at 2200, and I haven't gotten a single ping back from .io
Seli how do I social
I’ve just had ppl add me
i also simply dont believe that the "got invited, they saw i play assa, kicked again" happens nearly as often as people claim. im 99% certain that its actually jhust "didnt get invited when i applied" moments, which have absolutely nothing to do with the spec you play, and everything to do with how the grpleader has to choose from 20+ applicants and obviously hes gonna take the one who looks the most promising. thats not a judgment on how good/bad your spec is.
And I get invited sometimes
i play feral, does that count?
and have a vulpera enhancer
download friendgroups addon. add people after runs you think were good. whisper them the next time you wanna play.
join m+ friends discord
play fotm
all viable choices
Yeah I mean I agree. I know they say everyone’s experience is different but I do a shit load of keys and it’s only happened to me one time
i had it happen ONCE that somone said something about me playing assa, and it was just a "oh wow, never see that spec" and thats it
idk what people are doing that they get kicked for the "wrong" spec
And it was on a key level where it legit didn’t matter at all lmao
Yea I have done quite a few pugs as assa when I wanna have a different type of fun. Not once was I kicked because I was assa ever
Yeah I do get comments a lot like “oh assa? Okay” or “you’re the first assa I ran w all season”
I have had that happen as hunter , but like 1 out of 100 times
But never kicked or shamed on
unless the grp is omega tryhard, theyll actually say "´´´´´´´po0ß
THANKS NOVA I WAS TYPING
All the kicks for me are either prior to pull or 30 seconds in cuz some dumb dumb didn't notice till after locking and just want to go next
Hi nova
unless the grp is omega tryhard, theyll actually say "oh wow, spec xxx with such score, he must be good at what he does"
Cat

what people dont seem to understand, is that m+ score is a grind. you dont sign up to a key and gain score. you do it over the course of weeks if not months, get better at the game, and that will naturally improve your score.
Who invited a Feral druid to this server? xD
Mine never does
@shrewd night you are right, he is starting to replace me wtf
And the 2 week system feeds into this so much imo
But seli I want my score right now
took me 9+ months to build a network of friends in legion to play keys with. was a hard grind, but it paid off, and its still paying dividend today
My spec is holding me back
wdym?

buy a boost
Lmao

Hahahahahahahaha
Some just get lucky with the people in their guild tho
Got em
whats lucky about having guild members that enjoy the game?
Speaking of boosts I’ve made quite a bit of gold recently 
Could also be getting kicked for reasons beyond gameplay but i like to not think about those in my escaping from irl nonsense
With tyr/fort separate score it feels like you need to play every week or you are behind on score
yeah
thats... good?
do you play to get score or do you play to actually get better at the game/m+?
maybe youre playing for the wrong reasons and its holding you back
I’m a 3k Andy. We have a few in guild at 3300 I’m sure I could learn from to improve too.
Same
maybe if people stopped giving a shit about their score and just played for fun and the social aspects of it, theyd gain more score automatically
I would rather just play every week cause i can/want, not cause i have to
I always play for fun
so how does the 2week cycle affect you if you wanna play every week anyway?
well i got to 2.7k got bored and stopped really playing m+. Did a 25 court yesterday with 10 min overtime, and i was wondering how people do these keys, second boss was freaking melting the group
i dont understand
Well I heard from most people that they have negative experiences with that. The people I've seen before my current guild also mostly run keys with groups that arent in the guild. I think its not as popular tbf 😁
i mean, its not like finding out how many people play m+ in a guild is a dark and hidden secret. you go to raider.io and you find out how many people in a guild play m+ before you apply
Problem is m+ is infinitely more fun when youre in the tier of players who actually play like that, but if youre looking to build a network, skipping 1 week you easely get idk 100 score behind and suddenly youre in a pool of players who dont wanna play like that
thats such a cheap excuse
the entire point of building a network is that your score doesnt matter
It happened to me every season idk
The only class i can really see this happening with is survival hunters
Don’t think 100 score puts you that far behind
i havent played since january, i still got asked for keys in the last few weeks
Nah m+ way more fun when people don’t flip shit over the little shit. When you deplete and hear “all good we go next” that’s the best tbh
I play a lot early, having a blast, then skip 1-2 week of pushing and suddenly only have scoreobsessed ppl in pugs
Aggressive use of defensives, and not having a healer say "I'm at 22k what more do you need"
the entire point im trying to make, is that you want to move on from pugging sooner or later
Actual words from our feral trying resto in a 22
2nd boss is harder now than last week. We all have less self healing. And damage is a bit weird. Also healer need to heal more. So they run out of mana faster too
Cause people stop playing, or join other groups etc
Scaling of some things healing wise felt really weird with the 25% shift
and then you come back and say "hi wanna play" and 2/5 may so no, but the rest says "sure"
whats the problem exactly?
Ya. U need to burn her faster then she can burn u
oh he did 90k, heal was blasting, i was thinking when i should cloak because it seems like constant dmg more than dmg i can react to? dunno boss always just fell over on 20-21 so never thought about it
maybe 4/5 say no. thats still 1 player you found
Diurna was weird at first 
if your network isnt just 10 people
you still have no struggle finding a grp to play with
Eh it’s like a 2 key lvl diff roughly
like i said. its a grind
Not that big
my m+ friendslist is about 120 people
ofc most of them will be in grps already or busy
but the ones that arent are up to game
I mean; it felt real bad on quaking moreso, where it felt more spikey that before
maybe they dont wanna push score upgrades immediately, but even if they were, it wouldnt work anyway right
i have 5 
Brb adding seliathan now!
people just want the quick fix to their score and as a result they party with terrible people and create their own problems
Maybe i just got too comfortable as soon as i have 4 others we play back to back weeks
ye
and then when you leave that grp you join others, cause word gets around
you wont have the same success, and that can be demotivating
i dont like pugging anymore cuz most tanks annoy me, because none of them are as good as fem and it makes me wanna cry

MDI takes away too many good players 
i need to get the second part down and then im all set for S2
Its more fun than pushing tho imo
At least had tried 1 meme tournament for speedruns and when the route and pulls finally fit together its insane
At least i enjoyed it more than week 10 of pushing
but ye idk, people are just lazy. i can empathize. i was lazy too in legion. i played up keys with people and then i was ditched because "sorry we want sub rogue" even though i was smoking most of them anyway.
so i was depressed for a while "nobody wants to play with me" until a good friend asked me "well, how often do you reach out to others to ask them if they wanna play" and i realized i didnt really do that, i was jus sitting on my ass waiting to get invited. obviously that didnt happen.
once i became more pro-active about it, and started adding people, i found a bunch of cool people to play with, and after a few more months, i was pushing #1 keys with my boy sebbe. was a lot of work, but the success in game and the friendships i built were 1000% worth it
why not do both? have a group of friends thats more for those 20s that do insanely big pulls where you can see big dps. And have a group with which you can try to pushyourselves to the limit.
Thats my plan atleast
Nah you dont speedrun live
you also have to take chances on people
in early bfa when our dk tank quit, we needed a new tank
so jay suggested this kinda unknown but decently high scored brewmaster. brew was kinda dogshit in s1 of bfa, but we said "sure, why not". that person was andybrew.
turns out the man was a baller
I used to be very proactive, but then kinda burnt out of it. Was tanking, so i was making the group, making route, calling kicks, stops, basicly doing everything than i just had enough
i wanted to just play without having to do much else, so i guess reverse of yours
yeah, thats fair. tbf, tanks have kind of a "rockstar" position in most m+ groups, cuz everybody always wants to play with a good tank
many of them develop an obnoxious ego as a result
the ones that dont, are absolute keepers
If you look at it from that pov tho, if you do basicly everything and you wipe cause your mage who has 0 jobs outside of doing dmg, misses a kick
Thats very tilting
but ye, being a "career" m+ player aint like raiding, and by career i mean someone who just plays m+ all year round.
you can just apply to a new guild and start blasting your first raid and stick with them for years, m+ doesnt work like that.
M+ groups fall apart regularly, or someone quits and you need to work another person into your grp, but the more sociable and likable you are, the easier it is to find groups consistently and be able to play the game without sitting in LFD or trying to find someone to play with for hours on end
but its a lot of work, itll have upsides and downsides. but at least, even if your score still sucks, you made a lot of friends along the way, and those dont reset every season.
thats the most wholesome thing somone ever said about m+
Seli, do you think depletion is good for the game?
ofc
youll deplete the majority of your keys. people gotta get used to it
im guessing a majority of people didnt play when you could just leave a m+ key, and it wouldnt downgrade a keylevel, youd just not get loot at the end. it was the most degenerate pushing imaginable, and im really fucking glad they got rid of that
I think it gates too much. People rather sit 2 hours in lfg to find someone overqualified than to just give a chance to someone who might as well be good enough
if depletion would not be in the game, those wannabe pro gamers would burn themself even harder
Thats when the key got depleted but same level
?
instead of accepting that they need to improve/play different/reached their limits

But who cares about those
people dont remember or werent around when meowchan was sitting in upper karazahn for 12 hours trying to go for a perfect run and insta resetting everytime smth didnt die according to the pre-planned splits
like
its beyond degen
90% of the m+ playerbase ARE those people mate
