Our prog point is basically the first dispel gate in p3
So I haven’t really gotten to test sin p3 much
we fucked up boss pos after going down in p3
so the boss was not in melee
during hide xD
that just means u got more wizards
Yea….
hey gents, I could use some advice on itemization. I understand fragment is oversimming. i have nelth trink, bomb, and fragment available to me all 437-441. when i spend time on a training dummy unbuffed; about 3 and a half minutes. my fragment/bomb is putting up almost identical (about 2-3k dps more overall) relative to nelth/bomb. the 4-minute mark of combat is going to be heavily in favor of the fragment for that whole CD line-up. especially in a real scenario where the boss would be entering execute range close to that point (still grinding heroic raid
). am I missing something that's baiting me into thinking Fragment is playing better for me right now? is there any chance it's due to my itemization outside of the trinkets? i.e. being 2pc+2pc.
gotcha
i was about 13k dps less on first boss last weekend with the nelth/bomb trinket compared to frag/bomb the weekend before that, although I accidently had two howling runes in place of buzzing runes too. felt pretty gross but I was genuinely lost as to what was the largest factor for that severe drop

what dosage of copium did you take to come to that conclusion(I have no Idea where you raid and what you best % is)
would assume bone spike is at least equal but 2t cleave doesn't exist in the game atm so I haven't really looked into it
When u click in "all combos" shows one build but when u export the build is a diff one, is that ok?
forgotten expiremnts?
i mean its not 100%
more like 75/80% 2t cleave
forgotten experiments isn't that heavy on cleave
it's single target with an add spawn to burst
and you're playing assassination
you don't have anything for that add
yes that's intended
echo is like the only boss with decent cleave, and even there its only 2t for like a minute and a half
sub just feels better on this fight
So, that means that we playing assa is just a desperate and useless attempt to be different
it helps us channel our inner 2008 emo edgelord spirits
hahahahahahaha
i mean personally i play all 3 specs
i just find sin funnest in a raid setting
outlaw funnest in m+ and then sub if i want to do a fuckload of damage
thats me tho
is the icyveins talent tree up to date?
I was gonna say i took a month-ish break right after the sepsis changes, coming back now and was curious if it was reverted back
thank you!
Nah, it's just a more beginner friendly build, but not by much, and at this point, everybody should play Sepsis.
I didn't really hate it
doctored image
lies and slander

neither were your parses
yeah they were pink since 2006 baby
I was banging 99's before I was in school
eat it

so who volunteers to teach me assa
i can promise 2 things
ill ask very dumb questions
and ill forget the answers to those dumb questions
Keep Dots and Snd up press everything on CD except Vanish that one you hold until 2 min
Done ✅
just dont make cast sequence macro openers
the man that plays less assa than me
HEY
that was one time
i was lazy okay
cba'd learning the KB opener for a hc run
some times my genius freightens me
tbf I think it would take me longer to learn how to make the cast sequence work then learn sin opener
it worked on the first try
Could you macro rotten opener thi 🤔
was kinda ez tbh
really dumb question and want to learn, is it normal to do like 20% less than patchwerk sim on a target dummy?
yes you can't execute a dummy
also raid buffs or whatever you have en/disabled in patchwerk
you also just like
sim a dummy
if you're hitting a dummy
there's literally a fight type called "target dummy"
i simmed both and wasnt sure if i was picking the right options since i dont do it that often
20% less i was seeing was on the dungeoneers dummy vs the patchwerk sim
alright thats a bit of a relief, sorry for the dumb question

im not sure what im doing wrong but when I try to copy paste the talent build into wow it says its invalid
How much of an approximate DPS loss is breaking the 4 piece set bonus from season 1? I'd sim it, but apparently Simcraft hates my ISP for some stupid reason (even tried it on my gf's computer, doesn't work there either)
Very weird, because it was working fine months ago
Are you breaking it for 2+2 or just ilvl?
I got u
me too please

can you forward my sim results via carrier pigeon? my isp and usps also don't cooperate with raidbots
no
okay 
None for you. You willed lingering shadows into existence
You must atone for your sins
Is there any news about 10.1.5 Rogue changes yet? We’re supposed to be getting a re-work right?
I work for USPS I’ll talk to my supervisor for you
@runic hinge just for ilev
anyone here by any chance has made a weakaura with a Charged Combo Point trigger and can give me a hand real quick please?
elaborate 
WA has a Charged Combo Point condition that Im not sure how it works
oh said trigger and meant condition, sorry
what are you trying to do with it?
create a condition for when my combo points = charged combo point, something happens
like a notification that you have any number of charaged cp remaining?
i think you just use that screenshot there but just have multiple triggers under the condition for each cp
there's probably a better way to do it but that's where i'd start
no, like, combo point 3 is charged and I currently have 3 combo points, the bar changes color
just really wanna know what is that charged combo point condition
then I can make it work
i think like what you have there
cause it has charged combo point from 1 to 4
is just the condition that the 2nd cp is charged
so you'd need that condition AND you total cp equals that number
it isnt unfortunately
doesnt activate with just combo point 2 being charged
well, research must continue then thanks tho
ok, seems each different charged combo point refers to one of the auras you get, with talent to get 2 extra, 1 is always 3
2 is always 2
3 is 4, cause fuck you thats why
without talent I think 1 changes from 2 to 4
Do you just want a trigger that pops when you land on a charged CP?
cause charged combo points 2 and 3 dont exist
yes but also later I will need to determine which is still up to show on my combo bar
but is there something for what you said?
Yeah, i can send you my custom F()
so there is no way to do it with default conditions?
function()
CP=UnitPower("player",4)
if WA_GetUnitBuff("Player",323558,"player") and CP==2 then
return=true
elseif WA_GetUnitBuff("Player",323559,"player") and CP==3 then
return=true
elseif WA_GetUnitBuff("Player",323560,"player") and CP==4 then
return=true
elseif WA_GetUnitBuff("Player",354838,"player") and CP==5 then
return=true
else
return=false
end
end
was gonna do it by adding 3 aura triggers, but then saw that condition
hmmm I see, thanks
oh, can easily overlay charged combo points
Idk man, default option make WA more complicated - each charged point is tracked in buff so I look for that buff and if I'm on the corresponding CP
gotta make 3 triggers like these but works
nvm, condition changes only other solution would be multiple aura triggers
are the buffs in Nightly currently?
Buffs will be in sim when they go live (in like 35-40 hours)
Zac has a really good one that plenty of people use, me included
can you link it please? tho, I will probably keep mine cause I mad eit work how I like it by now lol
thanks
Mine looks completely different as I changed all the colors and sizes and everything, but the functionality is the same
Works flawlessly and dymamically adapts to 5-7 cp depending on talents

wake up guys its almost buff day
they call it assassin rogue because they’re caked tf up
could even call it double cheeked up
🔜
is there a way to log dummy fights ?
okay thanks

I have way lower Dmg of Rupture than in my sim, the uptime isnt the problem, someone has an idea what could be the cuase ?
you're comparing raw rupture damage to rupture + tier probably
bit blurry but looks like your rupture is doing 1.6 raw
with tier that sounds about right
but shoulnd it not be shoing in details aswell ? atleast as another bar ?
ah I see
tyring to learn assa atm, to be prepared for next week, I struggling to get my sim dps on the dummy 😄
no real reason to try and do either of those things
but I have faith you'll figure it out
😄 well getting into the rotation and Sepsis/Deathmark/Exsang Timings^^ 😄
tbf
its mostly "use Sepsis on cd, use exsang with dm and not alone, use dm on cd"
dont overthink those 3abilitys
^^
is master poisoner worth it at all for atrophic?
eh, not really tbh overall
like, you can take reduced energy cost for your own deffensives instead
there's nothing stopping you from taking it
These words hurt 
master poisoner should be good value if feint is bad for a fight
tbf, if feint is bad for a fight, chances are high that atrophic does nothing aswell

good to know... not many rogues seem to take it guess fck everyone else 😄
it's not so much that master poisoner sucks
it's more so that atrophic sucks
so buffing it isn't great either
yeah fair
hey, i accepted exsang as a shity part of my life allready
not even mad anymore, its just "yeha, it sucks, but it is what it is"
Exsanguinate - dwain (a pewson, animaw, ow owgan) of bwood.
"cawotid awnd juguwaw vessews wewe cut tuwu exsanguinate the heawt"
The uwu translator has my heart
if atrophic was like devo aura and would always reduce all dmg by 3%, yeha sure, master poisoner would be a must Pick and good
but because of how it actually works, aka you need uptime on an enemy, only reduces direct dmg from that enemy, everything that is envoirmental ignores it etc .... its just kinda bad and not really worth the point, rather take reduced vial/feint cost instead
When I have an improved Garrote up, and no Improved one to follow, to I refresh last possible sec or just in pandemic ? Is the improved one overwritten by normal one ?
okay, is there any weakaura indicator to know id the garrote is improved or not ?
any form of modified dot(exsang/stealth/sepsis) = you re-appky at 1 or 0seconds

But I can reapply Imp Garrot with Imp Garrote right ?
Yes
damn master poisoner doesn't even increase leeching poison
not like +1% leech is particularly much
But you can get 0.6% more DR 
Do anyone think assassin will ever have a mechanic that reduces CD's based on CP spent like Outlaw and Sub does? Going back to ass and losing that feels so bad.
Well, it's 20% more 
I think that exact mechanic is what most sub and outlaw players hate
Really? Why? Maybe i'm just bad, but it feels amazing to have AR almost always and shadow dance CD majorly reduced
having cdr is fun gameplay wise but for balancing usually not something you want to have
basically both sub/outlaw have no extra benefits that outweigh the trade-offs you get from cdr
If you have two specs that are balanced to deal 100k dps over 5 mins but one has cdr on the cooldown. The cdr specs cd has to have reduced value compared to the non cdr cd
Does ass have extra benefits from not having it?
And usually strong cds are heavily valued in a lot of content
yes
A way to view that is look at the damage graph on a sin log vs a sub log to see their damage profiles
Or a more extreme case look at an uh dk
the gameplay can be a lot more scripted/planed. You see people basically planing out every global for assassination
I'm way too smooth brained for that. lol
also downtimes you can't create cdr on still regenerate the same amount of cooldown reduction
so your cooldowns might be up while cdr specs still need to wait
cdr is in a sense more punishing, and hence should in theory produce higher output
given the higher risk
That makes more sense.
but there are alot of specs above it that don't have this drawbacks and do significant better damage
(just showing all specs abov ~133k dps)
I'm nowhere near that level. Usually get AOTC and maybe 4-5 mythic kills a tier. I just like having fun. Did my first 20 last night and that was neat.
I love assassin and I want to play it, but the past few weeks I've been tooling around with outlaw and more recently sub, and it just feels cleaner to me.
tbh the assassination buffs are a great reason to play it
Hey, sorry for multiple versions hassle, but I'm just updated the Sepsis WA with another bug fix
- Fix for shiv indicator not appearing with one charge available
I'll def keep trying. I keep being told that ass doesnt need restealths but I just cant make it work in high level M+
It's most likely a me problem not a spec thing, I just need more pratice.
i pray to god it never will, CD'r is a blight at this point, just get slammed into all specs for no reason
I'm very likely in the wrong. I understand all the points above, but personally, I like pressing the buttong twice even if it only does 1/2 damage each time. It's most of the reason why i played ass in the first place. Smaller numbers, but loads of them.
Perma-Dance characteristic of Sub is one of the reasons some of the old players hated it. It’s so bland
Im relativley new to trying sub, so maybe thats why it doesnt bother me.
DM to me feels so weak in M+, which is where most of my gameplay time goes.
i enjoy the simple style of sin
Its a priority target CD, with big impact. The shorter CD, less impactful it would become due to tuning. We don’t want bland/empty buttons just to smash )
Also spec is functional still up to a good point.
if you ever felt a specific add is an issue in m+ you will love DM
i mean, its more Like
people should play specs that have that stuff then
and not want everything to be the same
outlaw is CD'r based, so its allright
sub always had cdr on dance for ages now
but shit like unholy dk cdr on army is just braindead
just turn it into a 3min cd at that point
If you like that kind of impulsive play, Outlaw or Fury is for you tbh. SuB lost its identity to a point because Blizz decided to appease ppl complaining about dmg profile.
Agreed. But theres usually 1-2 of those adds in every other pull. DM just doesnt cut it for me at that point. Again, just a me problem.
I appreciate all the discussion though! Especially since none of you flamed me or just told me to get good. I never really knew CDR was a universally hated thing.
its not a hated thing
it is just that tuning is not consistent enough to make it appealing
the trust put in blizz to get tuning correct is just to low to make higher trade-off design choices appealing
is ass worth trying this season for m+?
if you like the spec, can play it, it isn't stronger than sub/outlaw
how big do you think the jump in the dps difference is between ass and sub/outlaw
does toxified armor patch quality matters?
you see, sub is pretty complicated in aoe, having to spam exactly 2 buttons all the time, so they have higher dmg
they also get a better fan of knives that doesnt need to crit to generate combo points
😄
it matters for the one who crafts the boots, if you want a higher chance of max item level you probably want a rank 3 armor patch
i see, thanks !
storm, rupture, bp, shadow dance, shuriken tornado, symbols of death, flagallation, evi, secret
i know
exactly 2
im mostly miffed by the improved fan of knives...sometimes you feel the fact you need to crit to generate combo points
fuu, common
it is, mostly
really
Huh
You have so much damn crit
With the talents
yes
and sometimes on 4 targets i still need to FoK three times
Its really not an issue
storm - bp - storm - bp 
Some people still living in shadowlands
its a meme, and there is a certain trueth in it
I remember the biggest problem for sub in sl was people not seeing the s3 procs
And it seemed so fucking hilarious
They can't look at the 1 resource
And 1 thing they have to track
i think the s3 tier sesign was not that good
but for sure, not being able to react to a proc seems sus
people still macro everything
In case they proc
so general consensus im hearing is learn sub lol
you have your daily "macro tea and symbols to dance" guy question if thats fine in #subtlety
subtlety is meta in m+
so if you want to have a easy time finding groups, it is probably the best choice to play
if you just do your weekly 20 or spam some keys around the level, it isn't rly that problematic
can play whatever if you don't push the high world ranks
I think you are not alone in that thought
Sub’s tier set was absolutely awful
yeah might just mess around on ass because rogue is my alt
not gonna push high keys
can i macro tea and dance and shadowblade and shadowstrike and gloomblade and potion and trinket togheter?
i am honest, i think most tier sets s3 or later didn't end up that exciting/interessting
you can, its just not good
Trying to play around procs like that was just awful gameplay
You either did all the damage or none
It felt so shitty
i think the biggest complain was the impact on gameplay
you ended up in a more "send everything on cd" loop than before and even had some min/max options people mostly ignored
DF ironically continues to push this trend in terms of gameplay
CDR means your dmg profile become flatter. In the end you may have same dmg output overall. Yet what you can accomplish on your own in a fight gets a big hit. In WoD, Sub could kill boss adds on it’s own each go while it took 3 ppl to kill by others for example. That’s power.
funnily enough "on cd" was most of the time the cooldown use from assassination
Sepsis requires your monitor to be turned on which is nice
its more like, assa was send on cd always, so its allright
sub was allways more about stacking things for its more complicated parts, but when all that goes away it feels barebones
hence why storm->bp is a meme
like yeha, ofc sub does more overall, but its just "lol use it when ready" anyway in the far far far majority of cases
and its just wrong for sub
to the defense of sub, it has quite some conditions to multiple cooldowns
tea as boring as we assumed it would be, integrates rly nice into subtlety
Main reason why i like the rotten, with that you can atleast shift some stuff around, even though you still need to use dance on cd
to bring one example
Yea, so bland now compared to what it used to be
i mean yeha, current tier makes it slightly more involved with the snapshotting symbols from dance
but thats it
i mean yes, it feels very unituitive
Like on neltharion i dont vanish at 1 minute because theres a stop dps part from like 2:10-2:30, so i dont need to reduce my flag by 30s, its fine if its ready at 2:35 instead of 2:05
but assassination's tier set is also kinda passive
assa set sucks
outlaw to a degree has the "best" tier set design
I'll have you know using exsang in my dm is not passive
when you can't give up the 0.5% dps from exsang
Gamer
Isn't it more for dslice
me refreshing SnD actively since I cct is a 0.5 loss wont be passive either
curious how annoying that will play
cct did sim higher for the top build
i really do wonder why they decided to put cttc in a far off corner like that
so its probably just about getting better gear
Well outlaw will have to press snd and that's nice
Always happy for outlaw suffering
i don't think pressing snd on its own is a problem
its just that it adds to the already high effort of maintenance buttons
SnD needs to be deleted; it’s beyond archaic atm
We have enough maintenance and it’s already automated
And no, its not flavor as marketed
outlaw players explaining why its still the BEST SPEC IN THE GAME and that outlaw is not a bunch of random things thrown togheter with a single string holding it all in place
))
let people be happy with what they got
You can sacrifice that automation for a sizable dps increase though
So have at it

do people really play without cut to the chase?
I will try it in HC next week and if it doesnt bother me I'll do in mythic
getting the double shiv to have another rule to think about seems kinda nice
no
it will not even be a dps increase lol
like, its a pure sim thing
yeah seems awful lol
fairly certain that maintaining snd is not that big of a issue, just inconvinient
What would you do for 600 dps?
I’d kiss you for free 
i like being at least a bit lazy so ill prob never play without cttc
Instantly recrafted all my gear so I could play the superior best spec in the game

what talents are you running?
i usually hold my shiv like 5 seconds too for sepsis, same with DM
but if its like 15 seconds hold i wont do it
Double shiv no exsangue
i mean if you have double shiv just always hold 1 for sepsis and dm
Ye its pretty scripted when you use shiv with that one lemme see if I can find a picture with timings
Thx
@balmy condor why do you shiv at 30 sec it isn't during dm nor sepsis or does the tset count for the shiv rule
also sry for the early morning or very late night ping
You Shiv on CD with single Shiv
With Lightweight you sync with Sepsis or Deathmark, but the 30s Shiv and the one after don't sync with either
#1 rule is not to overcap Shiv charges
Lightweight = double shiv ?
Yes
Idk the name of the talents
yes
Ok Thx
Ye I mean with double shiv from my understanding the third shiv should be at like 55 sec to avoid capping, I guess you could just send second charge earlier, but all the logs still shiv at 55 which confuses me
So we double shiv at open then just dont overcap but hold 1stack for sepsis / dm right ?
Yes
obviously small sample size opened like 5 logs all did it
Looks simple
outside the sepsis dm windows is there still the ideal of tripple envenoms you wanna aim for or is that whatever
#1 rule in wow: dont overthink stuff
Should have 1 shiv for every sepsis and 2 shiv for every deathmark
its often simple
I do it on outlaw aha
Nothing like that
#2 is fuck boomkins
Sure some low energy so and er ready shenanigans so you get 7cp envenoms with tea buff without overcapping energy or charges
But honestly nothing super
And btw on sepsis we always garrote ? Juste press it at the end of sepsis to min max the garrote duration right ?
Yes
Okay then I’m assa on nelth now thx guys
Immediately at the beginning then just before it runs out ir garrote runs out
first 23 majority has third shiv at 30 and fourth at around 1 min
Oh immediately at the beginning except at start right ? Cuz you have your first garrote from stealth
Yep
I mean except at pull
No you still do it immediately
Because of Exsang
Good
Because I don’t have engough haste / mastery I guess ?
I don’t really like it
just accept it lmao
I thought double shiv wasn’t the best build
im a casual so, it can sim as high as it wants i aint touching it
Am I missing something
I looked at rashok and the majority are playing double shiv venom rush
it isnt unless you play double shiv, exsang, no cct
Idk depends on your sims I guess
think was cause the 6:10-6:40 killtimer
I’ve only been simming the normal sepsis exsang build
Oh you know what yea
Kill timer probably shifts things
If it’s 6:40 you can 3 exsangue so why they don’t play it then
sending exsang at 3 and then getting exsang dm with pot at 6 seems pretty good, but you arent suppossed to send exsang at 3 anymore so idk
Why
It would be on dm 1 and then hold for dm 3
But dm 3 on that fight wouldn’t get full value if the kill timer is 6:10
Yes
So exsang likely not good for most kills
Idk i guess I’m not gonna play it at the start especially on neltharion lol
sorry, if that may sound obvious for you... but with a kiil timer of 5:30 you sit the 2 exanguinate for the 4 min DM? or you throw it on cd with ER?
Dm 4 would be the one that wouldn’t get full value
I can only speak for myself
I have waaaay more fun since I dropped exh
Legy parses are possible btw
Like dude wbove said.. No matter what sim tell you, many bosstimer favor having none
Parsing 
And most importantly: Opener is not THAT stupid long

Literally unplayable. Buttons disappear off keyboard if not crit mast
parsing is so skill based this patch
just get beacon and hope it crits on all pulls
and that sophic procced during the opener

Bacon crits 
Just be the better player idk
Better players crit more

I loged 2 Times 100 with bacon technology 🥸
beacon should have never been allowed to crit
Easy rank 1
I crit both of my beacon casts on rashok like 3 weeks ago and did 127k

I was just clearly the better player
you killing it before 3rd beacon?
On heroic*
ooh
I decided to ride waves on our kill
After not getting hit with waves the entire night
Cause I’m a good player honest

My mythic parses are hot ass garbage
And stealthi insists on saying I don’t suck
yh i dodge every wave, dont check logs tho, trust me
it is funny tho when i get hit and never die from it and then our enha gets hit dies with like 22k overkill and then gets memed on for the rest of the night because he would have survived if he didnt have the cloak equipped
The true gamers are last one alive evasion tanking the boss to a kill. Not parsers 
I almost made it happen on magmorax

600k left before my shit ran out
Was casting bacon
And he just deleted me
Cause he tried running out of it with the wave and got double tapped
Amateur move
yep
only thing that sucked ws my dmg on our Sark kill

i wasn't last alive but i was evasion tanking Rashok for the tank mechanic and full duration as all the pallies used their shields to drop aggro -_-... ate 1 more hit after duration ended and then the raid killed him
Imagine they bring back the 45sec cd 200% faster bleed exsang kek
200%? 
Give duskwalkers patch
Is it better to play beacon or irideus
Me too
i have hc beacon and 441 irideus sims +1k
on sst
Are you aware the fragment is oversimming?
no didnt know is it bugged?
Check the pins.
hmm so here is a weird questin about oversimming cause cant find anything about it on the pins
i just droptimized crafted items and toxic thorn boots sims 1k more than my slimy on assas
is it bugged too?
no
toxic thorn is better in ST than slimy
it was bugged
well not exactly bugged
but the way the spell data worked is that the one the sims used didn't account for the haste loss
so they had to put that in
but toxic thorn is also oversimming a bit
because it'll munch damage procs w/ heal procs
and its inevitable as a rogue
would you craft both slimy and toxic to swap between raiding as assas and m+ as sub?
I would not, just pick one and stick with it tbh
Hell no
the dif is small enough where it doesn't actually matter
probably go toxic thorn
fwiw
Who cares about 0.1-0.2% dps in Mythic+
Tank pulls one extra mob, you already deal more damage overall that way
SnD gone; Boots fixed */nod
only in your wettest of dreams my friend
Oum, didnt see Dnd sorry

I actually had token slimy but the stats kinda sucks should i replace it in aim to stat weight ?
And take toxic instead ?
recup is considered in the sim
I thought they fixed it by assigning it a ratio of damage/heal procs
from what i understand, gastank added support for healing procs
recup/passive snd heal/soothing are parsed automated so both should work as intended

but correct me if i am wrong, i still haven't had a lot of time to dive into the codebase
I'm not sure, I always thought it was a ratio thing
I haven't looked at what he submitted tbh
overall it should perform about as good as in game, so can trust simulations
Two rogues on fight should go for both numbin and atrophic?
One for each* if there are caster adds/enemies
how much better is toxic even?
yes, if you have 2 rogues always coordinate who uses atrophic
like 0.5-0.6%
rogue is sadly not that popular, so most raids only have one
0.6% last time i checked
so if you already have slimy
lower in m+, think was about equal
not even worth recrafting unless you have nothing else to craft
slime is also better on sub 
yeah
prolly less than 0.6% now w/ the aura buff
wrists next spark then boots then belt cuz my current toxic is on head
should have made belt but went all in on sub
tbh even tho a buff to sin was expected (due to performance on wcl statistic), i think its fair to stick with subtlety
but lets see how the meta evolves
what meta?

the only reason people bring a rogue is because they think atrophic is useful
"eh play w/e you want, you just here for atrophic bro" XD
bringing the "best of the worse" might be relevant still
the Meta off "it doesnt really matter cus all3 are mediocre at best, but people chase that 1k sim dps harder then a drug addict a needle"

Wdym, rogue is op, why would anyone bench a rogue
the 2nd* rogue
jokes aside, i think it is in general tuning that is not ... great
and it does not help that all 3 rogue specs bring essentially the same
on the bright side, it is more or less a "play what you want" patch
guys 1 question
how much % do u sit roughly on ST Haste
stat wise %
cause im at a point where hasta outsims pretty much my other stats
but dunno how much it will change with bomb dispenser
"bis" gear has ~17% haste
cause when i unequip darkuul or w.e its called (N L trinket) ima lose roughly 600 crit
uff
i need rashok necklace then
or roshak or what his name is
but also i don't think its reasonable to just down that rabbit hole
because gear and other factors can make things diffrent for you
nana im 9% Haste rn, in raid i equip 2 x howling rune and m+ 2 x buzzing
so raidbots is your friend ^^
yh its just
i swap 1 trinket get a new trinket which scales well with crit
and lose a trinket that gives crit baseline
so i was curious
id:202610
can just use ilevel=441 to set it to 441
its a TC thingy
Well you can still pose it, there are plenty of knowledgeable people in here besides fuu
Like this cutie @gusty mirage 
Wait so u targeting 17% regardless at this point? Haste is also simming higher for me like 5.8 and rest is betwen 5 to 5,6 so not much difference, i was avoiding the haste and keep it below 10%
we aint targeting shit
I looked at best assa rog logs and everyone playing different amount of haste, i saw minimum 800 points or up to 2200
lots of people are lazy, look at a bis list, and just gem/gear crit/mastery
or just haven't found optimal gear
or just don't care cuz the difference isn't that significant
or play other specs and don't want haste to scuff their OL or sub sets
🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨
this is why bis lists dont exist here
o.o
Stat weights 
I prefer to go with top gear most of the time rather than stst weights
Stat*
Fuu just said, bis gear has 17% haste, that is why i asked 🙂
Well if you use top gear and you don't have haste gear available you end up with less haste
Its not rocket science
I literally have every single neck or ring piece available and i check them.
yes and thats why i said bis lists arent available
Then you don't 
you see bis say 17% and people will immediately thing they need
and thats why you dont use stat weights
I know i am in same situation, dont take me wrong. I also font understand:)
Yes i try to avoid stat weights as much as i can
Ehat about vers :))
Well, a logical check you can do is to see if Droptimizer favors Haste items on some of your slots in similar lvls
Very good point, and i did that too, it is only 447 weapons or/and higher ilvl things nothing with stats
well yes, but i did also say you should not use it as a reference
So like i am giga confused, because in logs, there is a dude with 700 haste and 2k haste making same dps, and the difference usually on vers.
Yes u are right, sorry to not mention that part
so its just like
Stats are mostly so close it doesn’t really matter

gear is diffrent and people use the best gear they have
You're thinking about it too much mate
Yeap unfortunately
people don't focus on specific amounts of stats since cata
You are reading in to it too much. The issue is that between those instances the total dmg done can be the same; but where the dmg comes and talent out puts differ
somehow there are still a lot of ppl who ask for specific stat amounts
to be clear, i get where this comes from
but gear is not one dimensional, you have tier set, you have embellishments, special effect gear etc
the "best gear" will be the combination that makes the best trade-offs
I’m a real
when it comes to TCing stuff, I leave that stuff to whispyr fuu and koji
e.g. you might take a tier set piece that has a bad stat, even tho you would ideally not take it
I have hunches but we don’t like feelcraft around these parts
I usually bother Koji, fuu or whispyr with my hunches

but you want the tier set bonus, so you try to find the piece that has the "least amount of bad stats" instead
tbh, if you have any idea just post in the tc channels
^ that’s how we find new stuff
all of them are active enough and someone usually comes back to your question/suggestion
nobody on its own does find all mistakes/improvements, and it is easy to miss stuff
so it is always a collaboration, you don't need to know simc or apl to contribute
Someone has a thought, they post it, we go through it and we find new stuff all the time that way
This community is fuckn awesome, they need to buff assa rog to s++ tier rn
pls no
don't gas them up
dont infest this channel with sub and outlaw brains(they are both outlaw brains)

Yea i also try to find better ways to play, try talents stats etc, but i never shared there tbh
Haha they ll never understand anyway :))
How come you can get blade flurry with your first spec tree point and ss/bp with your first 2 but CT is on the same tier as dm and exsang
cus BF is kinda the big thing in outlaw
i would say BF is a BIG part of the outlaw idenity lol
or do you think sub without BP woul work fine in aoe
We don’t have shuriken storm as outlaw
isn't rtb the primary part of the identity
So flurry is there to enable any interaction with extra targets
It’s in like row 4 and we go there anyway because it’s right after restless blades and adrenaline
she answered "the dice thing"
What does she know about sub??
nah, the big 3 outlaw things imo are "fast and high apm gameplay, CD reduction, Bladeflury cleave"
idk
are the buffs in raidbots btw?
shadow dance and shadow step
you can use the overwrites from #tc-research to sim it
nono I just simmed wrong so I simmed way higher than before ^^
i think Restless, RTB and BF are the 3 core things, but i am not sure if this is what people know about the spec if they are not involved
What do u sim if i may ask 🙂
Dice, grapple and restless are probably the three flashiest outlaw things
Havent simmed with WF in a while since we dont have, but 114 without
take that back Madge
Flurry is that high just because we have literally zero cleave outside of it. Sin has fok, sub has storm, they both have dot spreading in rupture/garrote
Well, maybe blade rush but that’s a row 8 thing
I kind of miss blade flurry
i personally see BF as a enabler, you basically can cleave/aoe with it.
this man litearlly said fok is aoe cleave susge
Yup. It was weird in SL being part of the single target rotation. But it hit…
BF, not FoK
BP is in a similar way, you basically need it to enable resonable aoe, secret more or less adds some passive cleave
Sectech is also a bit deeper into the tree
its a cooldown, so think its similar to what the other 2 trees have
Anyone know if it’s possible to sim with the up coming tomorrow/Wednesday ?
i mean, people will say RTB cus:
its the only thing you can see from a outside perspective, the rest is just "hit stuff with a sword", its the only real animation (same with assa and sub, rogue is really REALLY low in animations, its hard to tell what they are doing if you dont know rogue cus its all just some kinds of stabs/slashes)
and RtB cus the community has some weird fixtation on the ability beeing a big RNG thing that dictates your dmg
i did put the lines you need in #tc-research link:#tc-research message
yes, question is if that makes it a core of the spec or not
I think dice are a core outlaw thing
And we get them pretty early on by following a route with other core things like adrenaline and restless blades
outlaw is knockoff furry and sub is outlaw u order off of wish ripge
and sin is just the internet explorer of specs
getting shit on by people that have no clue about stuff, because they think its clever and smart?

So we have a knock off feral, a knock off fury and a knock off ret with night mode. Truly one of the classes of all time
Still better than Edge!
what getting neglected does to a MF
nah dude it was good like 10 years ago but now its just clunky and sad
when paladin gets sub gameplay and sub gets gloomblade 
bro i feel like arcane is more similar to sub than sub
anyone ever go watch a paladin or warlock hit a target dummy
legit having a blast playing arcane/fire right now
and just think about why our animations look like they're from 2009
honestly, idk why people always say "assa so clunky omg" when it has the same flow for almost a decade now, and current assa has probably the most "fluid" gameplay flow by beeing never really energy starved
It’s just, sin’s capstone is instant multi dotting and it’s a 9 point investment into an aoe finisher. While sub and outlaw can get theirs for 1/2 points. The tree is really made for us to not do aoe things
I'm always dry af right before my 1:30ish sepsis
feral has some concepts that would be nice on assassination
ret/arcane has some concepts that would be nice on subtlety
not sure if there is one spec that has something that would fit outlaw
i think outlaw has the best design currently of the 3
internet explorer also has the same flow it had for the past 10 years. its kinda smoother than it was 10 years ago too :p
tbf, IC is a mistake and should not exist if they want an actual aoe flow
like
not perfect but has a pretty fun, involved prio system
IC is a bandaid for the current situation
IE is retired.
possible, subtlety is for as little change it got from the trees in a good position
Ask Jeeves about it.
thats the issue, sin is just bandaid on top of bandaid the spec. everythings a bandaid.
i like how you say IE when IE doesnt even exist and its edge for 5+ years now 
sums up outlaw brains perception from assa tbh, shittalking about points that dont even exist
(not an insult to you)
can't buff IC cuz it would be too strong
i dont play outlaw Susge. I play sub/sin. also Ie is just a meme. yeah its edge now but edge is basically IE with a pretty bow on it
also i hate how microsoft is forcing all the weird bs with edge and chat gpt oh u want this plugin? use edge. bro fuck off
its not about to strong
its more like, IC limits multidot rewards really heavy
cus everything that rewards multidotting also has "yeha but IC makes it instantly max" in the background
manual multi dotting would require garrote to have no cd
and for our dots to do enough damage to be worth the globals
and for adds to live long enough to make it worth
FoK —> Rupture, right?
if we had shuriken storm cp generation it would be okay
but fanning 17 mobs and getting one cp
makes me wanna eat broken glass
Might be a weird idea, but maybe Breath of Sindragosa would be good on outlaw
like KIR could be a passive rtb extension thing that works like breath 
Passive KIR sounds poggers
idk i think ol seems fine atm
just overshadowed by sub but it's kinda cranking in all content
It’s interesting to me that they made shadow crash just better ic and it’s not even a capstone. It’s a little different because shadow doesn’t rely on their dots for all their damage but Jeeze it seems good
ironically "spin to win" would possibly fit outlaw
the spec has a warrior vibe to it
Warrior is more of a brute force thing, outlaw is more of a duelist finesse thing
buccaneer could be it's own class
fuu make an outlaw called Garen, then macro DEMAAACIAAA everytime you bf ez.
So idk if a Bladestorm thing would fit otherwise very dynamic spec
i mean yeha, outlaw is a swashbuckler
OL already sort of gangplanky
i think there was a missed oppotunity with outlaw
making outlaw the finess/rapier fighter
then make a sword one hander, beer offhand for the rapier thing ^
They could fix Sin AE rotation by just making Crimson Tempest instant damage or a very short dot instead of what it is.
and a cannoneer
would also allwoed it to differ from warrior more
Imagine an ability for outlaw that's GP barrels that you place and only you can damage
and they all blow up
thats how i play warrior
dude 200iq. give outlaw oranges. heals them based off of hp missing + get out of cc
i said this and everyone called me an r-word

Oh shi
congratz, you just invented [Black Powder]

Or the new feral druid basically
outlaw had cannon barrage
no no
make buccaneer a class:
ol same
cannoneer get's tristana/cannon barrage
rapier one handed boi
I didn't say I invented the idea, just that it would fix it. FoK is still a dot, but I can live with that. 😆
All I can picture is inigo Montoya from Princess Bride
could bring back manual multidotting with CT as a capstone that extends ruptures and garrotes instead 
delete ic
and probably does other stuff cuz that would be dogshit by itself
idk kinda fried
i think i asked this early in beta already
i'm just throwin pickles at the wall
but i don't remember the answer.
Is IC something positive or not gameplay wise?
for me it kinda felt like manually applying rupture was part of the skillset of assassination
given how much single target we lose speccing into IC it should just be a passive
not saying its a great mechanic, just it seemed like a core gameplay element
manually applying rupture was a chore
That’s a vibe for sure
but i also agree about manual multi dotting
not a great mechanic but was kind of classic assas loop
also higher fort keys you have to reapply anyways at a point so honestly IC is a big plus taking away barely anything mechanically
I would rather have a capstone like I described that increases in power the more efficiently you multi dot
like have it's damage scale off how many ruptured/garrotted targets it hits
and extend bleed durations
so the old assas ramping AoE comes back
aoe exsang
i think most people dont like Ic because it supports bleeds being weak since you just get them out easily, also people dont like that other multi dot specs can just ge their aoe dot spread far up the tree like ferla and spriest but for sin its a capstone). but more casual newer sin players i think enjoy IC cuz it helps them actually do something in aoe insteda of running around helplessly. another thing Ic helps with is lowish keys where packs would die before u can multidot without IC
pretty sure those words aer illegal around here
i think part of the problem is more that there is no real exciting filler once you have bleeds applied
u can exsuck my nuts with that kind of heresy 
envenom PB fishing
its more than that, its that theres no direction for AOE fillers. with TC, if you spam it, then youre wasting the dot since youre over writing previous dot, but it does do aoe on hit damage. with envenom youer donig single target in aoe and hoping that you proc poison bomb and everything is stacked inside your poison bomb. its just terrible design
also yea, fan is just...eh
cuz you can just get kicked in the nuts for 1cp randomly
yeah fna is also dumb af
exactly, so no exciting filler to use once you have bleeds up
fan id say is my biggest gripe with aoe
u fan and go to 2 cp like okay i guess ill just jump out the window thanks blizz
i dont mind envenom pb fishing
if there were reasons to prio certain mobs getting aoe dots out and dm focusing an add would be fine
but it feels like these dungeons dont really have that
@vestal wren now that I’m thinking about it, the idea of a cannon barrage-themed Ravager sounds very appealing. Like you mark a zone and it gets bombarded for 5-8 seconds while you continue doing stuff
yeah, but also people want the bleeds to be strong. because then that makes sin very strong in low target cleave. but if you can get your bleeds up instnatly with no effort. then by default you cant have strong bleeds. which then kills your low tsrget cleave as well, making you a single target bot
well yeah we'd rather have strong bleeds than IC
assas always had ramping AoE and the skill cap was efficiently managing and spreading dots before dumping into harder hitting finishers. timing that transition was sort of the whole skill expression
i feel like for multi dotting the old way to feel good wed need something better than what fan is right now
fan should just be storm 
doesnt have to be storm
Maybe make it trigger extra cp from applying poisons as well
"generate a CP for each target hit that has an active Bleed effect"
there you go
no copy paste storm, better then the current version
that could work
it just sucks getting low crits on fan while also having to reapply garotte for 1 cp on targets
Why does garrote have a cd again

Was introduced for pvp if I remember right
CD should go imo
it's always had a cd
but sure put the cd in pvp
or leave the cd in pvp
and get rid of it for pve
Wait why is @balmy condor a PURPLE NAME NOW
I am hazy; kind of remember at some point in classic it didn’t
HUUUUUH
...it used to be a proper stealth ability with a silence on it
so didnt have a cd per say
Ah yea, right
He ascended
tbc it silenced
Double/Triple garrote was bound to vanish
it silenced basically forever after that
in mop they removed the "behind the target" requirement 
WoD they removed stealth requirement
and added the CD
and got rid of the silence ofc
