I dont think that should matter for gamedesign tho

marble hemlock
#

depletion is important because as with everything else in life, you learn the most by the things that go wrong. if something works out or you "succeed" you dont really think about what you couldve done to improve, you just move on to the next thing.

if something fails, you are forced to analyze and figure out what you or the people around you couldve done to keep that from happening. so fail-modes are incredibly important to self-improvement.

brazen lantern
#

But you still fail, you still sink time into it

marble hemlock
#

worst kind of player to play with: "yo guys this run we just did was #1 world key, fucking POOOOG"

best kind of player to play with "yo btw it seems the run we did earlier was #1 key, lmao that was such a shitshow how is it even #1"

marble hemlock
brazen lantern
#

I mean if you go in and fail the timer anyways, wouldnt you still want to fix it and analyze how to?

#

Why does your key have to go down a level?

#

Feels like unneccesary punishment

marble hemlock
#

success wouldnt feel as meaningful if it wasnt preceded by failure

#

because youd be backto what i just said

brazen lantern
#

But the failure would still be there

marble hemlock
#

thats how m+ used to work, and it fucking sucked

deft flicker
#

IMO depletion is more about getting a different key than lowering its level

storm belfry
#

Depletion isn’t a problem imo

marble hemlock
#

theres also a few other important factors that go into "having to play up keys again":

playing up keys is a skill in and by itself. youve seen that during TGP, where some teams were able to 3-chest their keys when playing them up, others didnt. so by being good at playing up keys, you save a lot of time compared to other teams that cant do that as well as you. thats skill expression

it also allows some phases of rest during a long pushing session. pushing toptier keys 8hrs straight is exhausting as fuck. but when you push for 2-3 hours, adn then you deplete a bunch and can chill a bit in lower keys, thats a lot less stressful

then theres the benefit of being able to actually try new stuff. you wouldnt try that in the possible score upgrade, but when its 2 levels lower cuz of some depletes, youre more likely to just try a new route or pulling trash with boss, and if it works in a +24, you might try it in the +25 next

storm belfry
#

It’s not having just a blank keystone w a level and affixes on it to be put into any dungeon

keen aurora
#

But you always have the option to just deplete the key manually if you want

marble hemlock
#

so depletion of keys serves a lot of purposes, that are very critical to becoming a better player, and id hate it if it was no longer in the game. people would just throw themselves at the same key over and over until they succeed

#

thats fun for a few days, and then its exhausting as fuck

keen aurora
#

That's already what they do. That's literally what pushing IO is

brazen lantern
#

Thats what they do already yep

marble hemlock
#

spoken like people who never played MDI time trials

storm belfry
#

Yeah but they can’t do it to the degeneracy that he is saying

#

If you would’ve read earlier you’d know lol

marble hemlock
#

you have no idea what it means to spam the same key for 3 days straight 14hrs a day

#

and how fucking garbage it is

#

maybe that comes off as elitist, but like, i cant imagine anybody actually enjoying that

#

i dont know anybody who enjoys it, at least. the fun part about it is finding strategies, but thats because its a one-time event, not all year round

storm belfry
#

Unless a group gets insanely lucky they won’t have the same key all night

marble hemlock
#

variety is important

#

and blizzard understands that, and removed degen strategies that allowed people to circumvent having to play all keys, of different levels

brazen lantern
#

But then what youre saying it would be degen at the very high end

marble hemlock
#

they got rid of just resetting the key without depletion, they got rid of key rerolling like we had it in bfa

#

it would be degen everywhere

keen aurora
#

You're acting like people won't have the option to run someone else's key if we take depleting out of M+. There are still 4 other players with keys, and if you acknowledge smashing your face into a brick wall is just breaking everyone's mental you can just run someone else's key for a bit for a breather

storm belfry
#

I am a bit in between on it cause I do wish we had a blank keystone

keen aurora
#

If you decide not to do that that's your choice, not bad game design

marble hemlock
#

because the majority of players dont play m+ because they have fun doing it. they play m+ to gain score because high score = good player and good player+highscore = they can become the next big m+ streamer and earn lots of money just by being good at m+ but that needs high score.

keen aurora
#

That is objectively not why the majority of players play M+

storm belfry
#

I bet you it is

marble hemlock
#

its objectively why many people in the top100 play m+

storm belfry
#

There is so much ego

#

In the high end m+ scene

marble hemlock
#

its also objectively the reason why no one talks during breaks anymore, because everybody is busy talking to chat while 1 or 2 people discuss routes 🙂

#

then you start key

#

"what are we doing again?"

royal lantern
#

i do keys for gear and thats it kekdog

storm belfry
#

So many though imo don’t even have the personality for it. And ppl are there cause “copy streamer Nerdge “ but that’s another story

royal lantern
#

idk, never saw the appeal of pushing, but thats a personal thing

storm belfry
marble hemlock
# keen aurora You're acting like people won't have the option to run someone else's key if we ...

with how teamfocused m+ has become, that doesnt really happen. a group of 5 isnt gonna kick one of their players after depleting all their keys, just to keep spamming highkeys. they are forced to run "low" keys for a while and play them back up, and they can do so while doing a weekly for one of their alts or boost it to gain gold or simply to chillax and clown around a bit.

all of those are pretty important to the m+ ecosystem

#

if were talking strictly about the pugging scene, ofc that happens a lot. which is why youd want to not pug keys, but play with the same people, or people who dont have these shitty traits.

brazen lantern
#

But 90% of people are scoreobsessed

marble hemlock
#

theres a reason why people with such an attitude have to pug keys, instead of playing with the same group all the time

brazen lantern
#

At a high level even

marble hemlock
#

at the highest level its a lot less frequent

marble hemlock
#

than in the "t2" scene

storm belfry
#

Need that 1 score man

#

Just a drop of IO pls

marble hemlock
#

if youre stressing out over score upgrades at the very top, youre not gonna be liked very much

#

because it makes you less fun to be around, and it makes you perform worse

brazen lantern
#

Ye its so much less fun

#

When you have someone rambling about score all the time

storm belfry
#

Yep. Same goes for staring at damage/healing meters or prog parse whores

marble hemlock
#

watch the real goats of m+ and youll see that even if they deplete, their demeanor doesnt really change. they still laugh, have fun, and arent getting mad at each other even though that couldve been a new best score run

storm belfry
#

You just play bad focusing on shit that you shouldn’t put your focus on

storm belfry
marble hemlock
#

only time ive seen robin get a bit mad, and even that didnt last long, was in our #1 atal when stone decided to taunt the boss into the spiders at 3% boss hp cuz he thought wed kill it anyway. well, we didnt. we wiped and lost the key. unlucky, go next.

storm belfry
#

The better players do not point blame. Instead they look at the situation as a whole to see how it could’ve gone better and how they themselves could’ve helped for that etc

marble hemlock
storm belfry
#

See in pugs all the time pointing fingers like

#

Dude you’re gonna be stuck here

marble hemlock
#

for the most part, the reason people dont climb in score is because they wanna climb score, and because they look for external factors why theyre not succeeding, instead of looking inward

royal lantern
#

@marble hemlock you gonna do keys next reset as assa again?

marble hemlock
#

that applies to every competitive scene, btw

storm belfry
#

Exactly

#

Oh for sure it does

marble hemlock
#

not just m+

#

its the same in dota or lol

#

and even in real life

storm belfry
#

Yep in any game or aspect of shit like that

#

Wanting to strive forward

But blaming things around you

i have to work from 9am-9pm and fem doesnt finish work until 10pm so

hah, you got got a life and responsibilities? losers peepomad

#

I adjusted my days off this week

#

To have off two days after launch starege

royal lantern

yeha sorry,but i refuse to take days off for wow lol

storm belfry
#

I’m not taking them off for WoW

royal lantern
#

storm belfry

Well I am but

#

Not like extra days

#

My days off are mondays and Tuesdays

#

(I chose that)

#

So that’s why I’m working today

gaunt moat
#

Tyran, would you have taken days off if a new expansion came out

storm belfry
#

I couldn’t take any off for DF

#

Was such a weird release

gaunt moat
#

When legion came out, I took 2 weeks off
i told my boss the real reason, and he said "i got you" and just told everyone else I went on vacation somewhere abroad 😂

I usually just take like 5 or 6 days for an expac launch

gaunt moat
#

these days a lot of people are working from home so it's also less necessary

grim jay

there just isnt much to be gained from that

storm belfry

Couldn’t be me

Wish I worked from home

winged veldt

couldnt be me who took off 3 weeksl ol

storm belfry
#

(That’s directed towards notters comment)

grim jay
#

cant grind much on release of an expansion, but on new tier

#

its a different story

#

tho the 2 weeks I took off just magically aligned with t30

#

wasnt planned

#

this time

storm belfry
#

I mean technically I take off 3 days. Cause I just do it around my original days off

#

So I may not even get the full days for the launch

#

But I agree new tier is a good time to take off generally

#

If you were to compare

gaunt moat

It's kinda nice the way they released 10.1
this week you get familiar with new zone, do most of the campaign etc.
then raid/m+ week you can concentrate on doing those

only downside is that it took like 2 days to get bored of new zone

Should I craft Torc of Passed Time as a replacement for Lariat going into s2?

I dont have any other, not even from item restoration

#

Crafting it to 421 is kinda whatever

#

I have a 421 crit/haste neck from raid and it’s less dps than lariat rn

grim jay
#

honestly I would safe the spark for possible embellishment combinations that end up changing

#

getting a neck isnt that hard

winter gale
#

Then I will go with Lariat/Cowl into s2

#

Dagger will be our 1st s2 spark?

grim jay
winter gale
#

It will be non embellished?

gusty mirage
#

Yeah dagger will be the safest craft and should be first

winter gale
#

Im fully socketed, y

gusty mirage
#

You can toss the food buff one on the dagger

grim jay
#

mostly

#

just as you get to replace gear with sockets it loses value

gusty mirage
#

Yeah lariat will lose value when you start replacing socketed gear for ilvl

#

By then you’d have a 2nd spark

winter gale
#

And a neck!

pure moth
#

Double shadowflame doesn't stack the benefit correct?

gusty mirage
#

And you’ll also be a vault or two in

#

Which will put less pressure on what you should craft

winter gale
#

Yeah

#

I will wait till tommorow and then ill craft the dagger, I think crafting it before reset will keep it a bit less expensive?

gusty mirage
winter gale
#

Or prices already went high?

grim jay
#

no procrate or anything

gusty mirage
#

Should be somewhat cheap still, tomorrow everything will sky rocket

winter gale
#

Yeah, EU here so I am counting tommorow as my last day

#

Dunno can something change this last day before reset, I guess dagger will stay as best choice for 1st one

gusty mirage
#

Yeah dagger will always be a safe bet

#

Cause you’ll use it all tier

winter gale
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
gusty mirage
#

Even in OH when you reach the top ilvl gearing

grim jay
#

and even OH is still better than wrists

#

and close to cloak

#

people underestimate OH stat value

gusty mirage
#

And over estimate ilvl of OH

grim jay
#

actually dont know if the 450 is better in OH with the new stats

#

than crafted

#

maybe

#

but within margin if at all

#

and you need to get one or even two in that case

gusty mirage
#

With new stats for sure for assassination

#

Crit mastery gud

#

But by the time you’re getting double 450 daggers it’s kind of a wash

#

Not everyone is as blessed as whispyr to get double max ilvl daggers in one reset

Hello Rogue friends.

My plan was almost 100% to main feral next tier but it's looking kinda rough. My fallback is Rogue but I only really enjoy assassination. How is Assass looking in Keys in 10.1? I do a ton of keys and really love it so I really need a decent all-rounder spec.

weak horizon
#

mediocre at best

#

has the rogue utility but low dmg

spice surge
#

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anybody calling assassination a decent all-rounder spec for m+

worthy moon
#

Well my allrounder I meant raid + M+

#

I mean, I don't hate sub so I could raid Assass raid + sub M+, I suppose.

#

I just hate Combat rofl

#

Tried it at the start of the tier and it's just too spammy and unfun to me

weak horizon
#

sub is stronger in ST than sin right now

#

so until there's balance you could go sub in raid too lol

worthy moon
#

No doubt but I did a bunch of raid testing and there feels like a ton of downtime which I feel hurts sub more than sin

#

I mean I for sure didn't optimize positioning or anything so kinda feelycraft

craggy oak
#

the downtime not effecting sin as much is kinda meme

spice surge
#

But like you lose 80% of your damage and he loses 85%

#

When out of melee range so its just a non-argument

worthy moon
#

Even with the CDR?

spice surge
#

Neither of you do basically any damage outside of melee

#

Ye sub loses cdr but assa loses poison stacks and envenom casts

#

It used to be a thing back when assa did damage with its bleeds

#

But now its just envenom and poisons, so it doesnt really matter

worthy moon

because technically, with exsang is more damage in the sim itself vs without

hi has everyone! I start on the game (less than a month) so I have a lot of questions and especially I am often afraid to make mistakes on which or what item improve ^^ ( I play rogue assa ) 1st little question on the item champion that we can win with the quest of the 4 or 5 heroic dungeon is it well started the improved or better it is better to wait? thank you all 🙂

#

Being new to the spec, Kingsbane/Bone Spike and Exs look like so much fun to play with being bleeds. But sticking to BiS or min-maxing, it's a shame not having builds that can compete with them for M+

Seems crazy to think a capstone talent like adding a single Lethal poison to my weapons is more effective than a 1 min cd 😦

#

what happened to it?

gusty mirage
#

they moved it from the left side capstone

#

into a choice node

#

and everything in the middle column just works better w/ dragon tempered

#

like it immediately doubles dashing scoundrel

unborn sierra
#

so adding Deadly Poison to my daggers does more dps than Kingsbane on CD?

#

damn

#

Ohh I see now. Damn.

I know people are saying Outlaw and Sub out-do Assassination regularly but I've ran 10 11's this week in prep, 5 as Sin and 5 as Sub. My Average for Sin was 70.2k overall and my Average for Sub was 68.2k. I feel like I'm playing them both really well in terms of min max but surprised people are saying it's a substantial difference

#

No set pieces I guess I should add. That might make the difference

bitter compass
#

Are we sticking with Phial of Elemental Chaos for Raid, or are we swapping to Phial of Tepid Versatility??

gusty mirage
#

we've recommended tepid vers all tier, so you're safe to stock up on it

gusty mirage
#

and bad chain pulling can make your life miserable

bitter compass
gusty mirage
#

we went with tepid vers cause it was more consistent than ele chaos

#

but iirc ele chaos was a little bit better?

unborn sierra
gusty mirage
#

yeah bad chaining will make any DPS's life miserable, but assassination either needs a clean restealth or it needs some dots rolling to get back to maintenance levels of energy asap

#

I watched a podcast where Whispyr was just pretty unhappy with the spec and felt kinda demoralizing. Hoping to see some positivity from the spec this season

gusty mirage
#

I've always enjoyed assassination in m+

#

it's just a satisfying loop for me

unborn sierra
#

Very much agree

gusty mirage
#

you stay on top of multi dotting you get rewarded

dull cloak
#

when people say assass does zdps that's an exaggeration

gusty mirage
#

problem is the reward is doing less damage than outlaw or sub PepeLa

#

plus on lower keys your DPS is nonexistent if you have a blaster AoE class

#

you just have no time to do any significant damage in aoe

subtle tundra
#

problem is ic existing

eager sorrel
unborn sierra
gusty mirage
#

I suppose you could make the argument that they're scared to buff dot damage because of IC

#

and that's fair

well they would be tuned higher

Idk why they would go through the effort of making cool talents like ic and stuff and let the spec be garbo due to tuning

gusty mirage
#

crit phial uptimes is actual dogshit outside of niche situations

#

like on kurog it had an absurdly high uptime

#

because it didn't take into account all the environmental damage

#

which was like 99% of the damage going out in that fight

#

so you'd get like 80-90% uptime on it

thorn fjord
#

Ah I see

gusty mirage
#

like this was the last week of 10.0.7

#

on kurog

#

I noticed the uptime was a lot worse

#

and I think it had something to do with the HP changes

#

because this was 10.1:

#

on kurog

#

lol

#

surprised it took so long for it to hit wowhead tbh

how impactful where the buffs. i want to go ass but in prog my raid lead insists i stay sub until its on farm

gusty mirage
#

if your RL is worried about 1-2k ST dps he should be asking you to play outlaw

#

not sub

haughty flicker
#

he should be asking you to reroll

gusty mirage
#

the dif between the 3 specs is like

#

3k dps at most

#

and all 3 are mediocre enough where it doesn't matter

#

unless some crazy tuning happens this week

#

rogue is just there to apply atrophic to make the RL and healers feel better

subtle tundra
#

gagah

carmine dawn
#

There’s a weird intersection of “if it matters, you’re good enough where it’s not a big deal.” And “if you’re not a top 100 team, it doesn’t matter”

gusty mirage
#

I mean if RLs are worried about damage

#

they should ask their rogues to reroll

#

atrophic is terrible raid utility

carmine dawn
#

Exactly

slow tulip
#

realistically the diff between specs matter if you are in a top 50 guild at most

carmine dawn
#

If you’re good enough. It’s not a big deal

slow tulip
#

if not - play what feels better

carmine dawn
#

Go reroll

#

If it doesn’t matter. Play what you want because that’s what you’ll perform best on

And do the most dps

ulduar cut short by ToGC

Ulduar should not have been pre-nerf

which is also kind of a banger raid, it just never had a chance to be accepted because it cut arguably one of the best raids ever made short

lmao

1k more ST dps

clearing? no, getting invited by picky RL's that got no clue, that's the real boss, luckily we're A tier so we will get invited

winged veldt

yea im not swapping for 1-3k dpsl ol

gusty mirage
#

when warlock is doing 14k more dps

winged veldt

ever

tight sparrow
winged veldt
#

A tier baby!

gusty mirage
#

yeah the dif in specs becomes less of a concern when you have 80% of the specs doing more damage than all 3 specs

winged veldt
#

cuz we do hella damage with dots when not in melee!

#

Wish my details reflected that lol

gusty mirage
#

like you could be like I have to play outlaw

#

it does 2k more than sin

#

but then you could also swap fury warrior

#

and do 10k more

#

ya know

But then you wouldnt be able to come to RH and doom

@gusty mirage dont forget you can improve it by taking another node on the tree 😛

misty holly
#

I bet that would be significant

gusty mirage
#

still wouldn't apply to 100% of incoming damage

28 rogues vs raid would finally be a thing, no more of that hunter / mage / druid bs

Just have to feed the propaganda on Atrophic. I just multiply all the damage taken by .03 and claim I basically healed that amount

Take off atrophic to juice your healer parses

I think its definitely possible for people to like die to lack of healing or something but even then you wont notice and just assume they played bad

proud cosmos
#

Atrophic is like a lot of dragonflight rogue, really thematic but flawed to have theme

#

Deathmark is cool in concept but vendetta just worked for everything, and poisoning the target is cool but defo not devo

gusty mirage
#

I mean deathmark is better than vendetta ever was

#

in every single way

#

it's more thematic and it's more damage

subtle tundra

except its ST

#

so its the same

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What if they just turned atrophic into a raid buff that gave everyone avoidance instead. Or fucking leech

Actually leech might be really good

Just have us have a buff that increases bleed damage in targets by a certain percentage. It’ll fit the class fantasy BS and also give us something that’s better then what we have

So I reapply dots? Make sure they’re near max?

Try and time pandemic window with exsang cd?

just full send the refresh before exsang

just untalent it like a sane person

Kinda literally doesn't matter

What are the reasons to play sin next tier over outlaw? Or are there none? Outlaw is just doing more st and is Miles ahead in m+. Is it just a personal standpoint or if the raid needs execute?

can someone tell me whats wrong with this sim so zac stops bullying me

longer answer is: check if there's a prio target, is the pack about to die, etc etc etc that can maybe change your decision making

#

but not by enough for it to even matter

silent furnace

outlaw and sub share the stat prio

outlaw and sub are closer to stat prio than assa

oh, did it change?

holy shit outlaw is cursed

And outlaw still crit vers

outlaw has never been haste

haste does nothing for rogues

I made a script and just keybound it

You would want to use it on prio target.

and if i dont have snd up

do i snd fok and then ct?

it doesnt say what to do if you dont have snd up in faq

#

its sharing a node

balmy condor

Well if you don’t have it up, you would snd

#

And if you do, you need to do something else with that finisher right

So you would ct

#

It’s a choice

That’s why it’s shared?

vapid sierra

but if i snd

how would i get crimon tempest?

do i add another fok and then ct and continue?

If your group pulls well you will have slice up pack to pack which is why you have the choice. You dont gotta recast slice if its already up.
