#

not a lot of tauren rogues squeezing out that last 100dps

#

That sweet sweet 1% crit chance

balmy condor
keen spruce
#

I was right

#

it was bag of dicks

#

theivin vulpera

steel ridge
#

well 1% crit is nothing to scoff at

clever sapphire
#

and we all know a good lookin rogue is better than a tauren/dwarf rogue

gaunt moat
keen spruce
#

i've been tempted to swap dwarf with how many uldaman's i scuffed last week

steel ridge
#

delete racials

winter gale
#

And with essence I go for mastery buff?

gaunt moat
#

Just don't wear cloak, cause i can't survive any bleed 🥲

keen spruce
#

probably depends

balmy condor
#

like 80% of the time it's mastery

#

19% of the time it's haste

#

and 1% of the time their character is giga scuffed

keen spruce
#

ye crit simmmed like cheeks for me

#

-400 or so off mastery

Low high key miss legion weapons and their powers as they were

keen spruce
#

yeah they were cool

#

i mean we have most of the passives in some form just in our tree now

gaunt moat
#

Half our talent trees are just set bonuses from previous tiers and legendary items

keen spruce
#

i would like my deathmark to also do 1m damage plz ty

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

technically it does

keen spruce
#

no 1m more damage

gaunt moat
#

Considering how they've made the talent tree
I won't be shocked if that returns. maybe next expansion when they add another row

limpid lava
#

assa spell book is so funny to look at 😄

winter gale
#

Is something new confirmed for us in upcoming patch or we are postponed?

balmy condor
#

looking postponed

winter gale
#

Assa rework is like my monday morning alarm

keen spruce
#

even if they announced somethin this week that wouldn't really be enough time for testing/feedback

winter gale
#

But I dont mind, some1 needs to kill the boss as well 😂

keen spruce
#

and it would be turbo scuffed

balmy condor

I always get the PTR patchnotes delivered directly into my dms no less than 2 dozen times when I wake up on wednesday and I just see "NO ROGUE CHANGES?????????????" every time I open another dm

Makes sense yea

if your raid leader can't tell a 3% difference

they're not gonna tell a 3.6% difference

well yes also that

43 pulls on sunday, seems managable but miserable

#

big no fun

balmy condor
#

I know hall of fame guilds that are contemplating buying a skip from like liquid or whoever until they have the skip themselves, just to avoid zskarn reprog

gaunt moat
#

@balmy condor you're lucky you guys killed it while still cheesable
it's so horrible right now

keen spruce
#

I mean to be fair, i think good guilds would have just smoked the dps check

keen spruce
#

maybe a few of the guilds that like giga cheesed it

#

with 14 tanks or w/e tf people were doin

#

new zskarn has less health than kazzara

keen spruce
#

this is illegal

#

the extra annoying part about the new mini traps in the safe zones

#

is that they're kind of right where u wanna hide with lines

spiral pasture
#

i still cant get over the fact the guy who designed the boss killed it with chesse most likely extended himself and then made it absolute cancer for the rest of us

keen spruce

and i always get booped against the wall and slide into htem

LOL

keen spruce

hes like "let me nerf the boss more before we come back to it but the higher ups wont allow me just yet" xd

his guild was probably shitting on him ruining their prog

"we're not fuckin raiding until you fix this you mfer"

why would you not extend that

just gotta like

"don't phase until 2nd bleed finishes or we're fucked"

o look someone's pet chewed on the bosses angle i guess we get extra bombs now

balmy condor
#

just play maplestory instead idk

#

:3

keen spruce
#

and that third guy will sometimes just deep breath instantly when he spawns woohooo

#

i should reinstall mushroom

#

how is new update

balmy condor
#

big

balmy condor
#

each one of the level 200+ zones is dailies + mini game

#

but now mini game is weekly

#

took the time required to do all 6 zones down from like an hour 20 to maybe 20 min

#

very big

keen spruce
#

oo that is handy

balmy condor
#

event itself kinda meh

#

but it's timegated

#

and new class hasn't released yet

#

so kinda just chillin with that

#

Does the back from Sark worth it in compare to 447 back?

balmy condor
#

it's more damage ye

dark token
#

You don't need to hold damage

keen spruce
#

i mean not anymore

#

u just smack them and figure it out

dark token
#

You never did

pseudo hamlet
keen spruce
#

but an extra bomb set during prog was a big pain in the ass

#

or at a different timing

dark token
#

Yes the boss phases earlier and drops a bomb earlier

#

But it's not an extra bomb

pseudo hamlet
dark token
#

All you do is focus the 2nd guy instead of cleaving off the first boss

#

It kills him faster so it's still only 5 bombs

keen spruce
#

then you have more bleeds

#

i mean the same point could be made about slg

dark token
#

Let a few more bleeds go out it's piss lol

#

Legit half the classes can avoid or remove

keen spruce
#

it doesn't brick the fight but it's a huge pain in the ass to plan timings and raid CDs around one set of abilities

dark token
#

One extra bomb will often brick you

keen spruce
#

then just run into a completely different timing

dark token
#

2 more sets of bleeds? No one cares

grim jay
#

Why are people discussing actual things here rn? I was anticipating a hefty load of dooming with the patch announcement and "no changes" kekdog

dark token
#

That's why you just plan for the fast timing the whole time

#

It doesn't change

keen spruce
#

right but in prog you don't always get the fast timing

#

or can't get it

#

or whatever

#

it's hotdog water design that everyone's hated for years

#

just because it's on an early boss that you can just suffer through doesn't make it good

winter gale
#

Does anyone here knows, can I by any chance see how many ppl my beam killed on zskarn?

#

In logs*

earnest remnant

can go to replay and watch it

or find the time the beam went off on you and see who died to the beam hit

u can buy it from the socket guy now

why not just catalyst pants

pseudo hamlet

Have them already on 447

keen spruce

o

yeah maybe the play the

then

Yeah the only thing that could've been an upgrade is chest... but I'd have to wait till 10.1.5 to upgrade it to 447 starege

i want to kill M Zskarn just to be disappointed that he still doesn't drop the trinket

#

so next time i see my therapist and he ask me why i'm feeling so depressed, i can just show him the kill video and the clear absence of bomb dispenser

just need 2 more crests to craft my toxic patch gear, so i can justify spending all my time having fun on Diablo again

oh yeah, i'm just memeing, my officers dont give a shit

i'm always on time for raid, do good dps, and do mechanics

so they don't care if i slack on m+ and have fun on other games instead

it's a guild, not a jail

He will die tonight for my guild

I was sarcastically being told that we will kill it once I stop killing ppl with beam. If I move to side with my beam and leave that middle clean, I dunno what else I can do.

# onyx crane he doesn't like simtraps?

things can be one of the following:

  1. Bugged in sims, working in game (fairly rare but it happens)
  2. Simming well but not realized in game
  3. Accurate to the game

usually when people say "simtrap" they just mean the second point, with 0 thought behind it. Just "my log don't say number sim say sim bad simtrap item gg". And that's just the dumbest shit you could possibly do, because you're basically announcing that you have no clue what you're doing or looking at. Simulations are a tool. Tools are meant to be used. You don't blindly just follow whatever sims higher because the number go up. I'd probably argue if that's how you're thinking about the game, you shouldn't sim at all.

You gotta think about what you're fighting, versus what you're simming. If you're simming 5 min, a 2 min trinket looks pretty good. But if you're on magmorax and you're not getting another cast off, why does it matter. What's the point? Mark of dargrul is a frontal line, it will hit in sims. You have to be cerebral enough to stop for MAYBE 3 seconds and go "yeah idk, mobs aren't grouped up in a line a lot of the time, probably shouldn't do that". It's the same deal with fishing for poison bomb in aoe. Yeah sure it sims better, but if you're only hitting half the mobs with a poison bomb then your precious 1.3% increase in a simulation doesn't really mean shit does it.

And all of that ain't the sims fault. The sim did its job, which was comparing the options in a sterile, consistent manner. How you take that information and apply it to your gameplay is your own damn problem. The sim didn't bait you, you baited yourself

tacit wedge
#

if i do more than 5 runs of the same dungeon, i just want to uninstall the game and log on League

onyx crane
#

yeah I get that, I think the trap part of the simtrap lies in the blind reliance on sim results rather than seeing what a trinket actually does.
Also I just reckon you prefered the 'other' kind of trap wink wink nudge nudge

@balmy condor am I weird for talking about outlaws like that while genuinely liking the spec myself and wearing a yellow nickname??

Yea, ig

grim jay

Honestly, thats just me, but I wouldnt even have a yellow name if I would mainly play outlaw

faint jacinth

What do you have against yellow name

yellow names got some brain damage

Actually fury and outlaw are really close

#

Mechanically they might be similar, but somehow fury feels very… flavourless??

only 1 resource to manage

deft flicker
#

Like all I do as warrior is swing the thing. Nothing else

grim jay
#

So do you consider energy as a resource to manage on ol ?

#

Thats the first mistake

deft flicker
faint jacinth
#

You could play OL without seeing the bar tbh

grim jay
#

^this

deft flicker
#

The only decision you might make depending on energy bar is “do I press one of my energy buttons”

faint jacinth
#

Although when you don't get procs the spec feels horrible

#

Dmg too

#

When you don't have energy you can't even generate some

#

You can with blade rush but that's it

deft flicker
#

I genuinely tried to play warrior and find stuff I like but every time I’m sitting there thinking “what did I just play??”, as if there’s nothing even remotely memorable

deft flicker

Don't have the juice

So blade rush

#

And even less ambush procs ofc

I don't feel like I need it in sub tho

I'm rarely out of energy

true, the previous rogue from my current raid got CPS from playing outlaw

what does CPS means in this context

my stealth and regular bar are completly the same

i have ambush on an extra action bar that doesnt change no matter the stance

Actually, I just need to make some WAs anyway.

The only spells that will consume sepsis buff are garrote and ambush without a blindside proc right?

Macro a [stealth] and a [nostealth] together and put the macro on both bars same slot and forget a stealthbar exists.

Outlaw is one of the highest APM classes. I enjoy high APM, but I was ready for a change of pace, so is witched to assassination

Can you sim the different choices for ominous chromatic essence? Also: Should we generally trust the bloodmallet secondary stat distribution grid or sims more.

Finally getting to a point where DRs kick in

subtle stream

just sim the gear in your bag, there's no specific DRs or breakpoints on stats

DR is irrelevant

Stat weights/distribution sheets are trash

and without using advanced sims, you just gotta run multipile sims

#

is there any smart way to track improved garrot with weakaura? improved and not improved have somehow the same spellid 😄

#

i know there is a rogue wa pack which can do this, but its somehow deeply bound with other stuff

clever kindle
#

there is the sepsis weakaura that can track that stealth timer though it still runs the issue of not seeing an improved garrote visually

solar tangle
#

ya

clever kindle
#

so you dont clip it by mistake

solar tangle
#

okay and one question regarding deathmark.. it duplicated existings dots too or just dots applied while deathmark is active?

gusty mirage
clever kindle
#

question about the opener for sepsis on my end, we're just destined to lose time off of our early improved garrotes right

clever sapphire
#

exsang only duplicated existing dots, thats why you couldnt apply a new one until the ones before fell off

clever kindle
#

That is to say, after we garrote on opener, then sepsis, there's no way to really extend them to maximum duration because of the sepsis stealth windows right

#

just trying to get the max time during cooldowns that imp garrote is up?

Ye not sure why mutilate isn’t dropping stacks in sims

From the DH discord, basically IRL shit + he gets brigaded in the communities.

strange python
#

I mean. I saw that. That's not really what I meant. We stopped getting much communication when the vault nerfs happened

eager sorrel
#

Tuning isn't a solo dev thing, it has been talked about in the past about how all the devs get together to talk about it.

Realz being the only dev that really engages with the community has had a lot of, displeasure vented his way across both communities.

I get it, 1000%, sometimes you don't have the drive/emotional space to deal with social media.

There is a reason 'community managers' exist for games.

clever kindle
#

We appreciate Realz but it's not like no communication on rogue changes or intent is a new thing. It has been a constant struggle for the entirety of WoWs existence

#

How is it you can have literal volumes of notes, explanations, blogs and feedback threads on Warlocks, Druids, Shadow priests, and Mages, but we can't even have a short blue post that addresses concerns

#

It's sitting in the dark having no idea the direction they want to take you that drives people to doom

clever kindle
#

Beyond that I think people in the rogue community would love to engange and give feedback on changes, but how can that happen when for instance last patch Rogue changes got pushed 3 days before the patch launched with aura buffs

#

I missed that. I see. Potentially last minute talent swap around. The rumor I heard was unfortunately focused towards outlaw.

deft flicker
#

The only thing that qualifies as a change is new dice buff for outlaw that got mostly negative reaction from the players

gusty mirage
#

Show me explicitly where anyone at blizzard stated that

deft flicker
#

Some stuff is on the way though, gotta wait till Friday and hopege

gusty mirage
#

I'm going to be real with y'all, if you're going to continue expecting something in 10.1.5 you're probably going to be upset and disappointed

#

set your expectations for something maybe in 10.1.7 or more likely 10.2

#

They said they're going to look at it, I don't see why they wouldn't. Shit happens

gaunt moat
#

But SURLY in 11.0

clever kindle
#

just in time for outlaws tier set fix

clever sapphire
#

i expect rogue changes till 12.0 so i cant be disappointed

gusty mirage
#

The guy in charge of rogue and DH had a sudden death in the family, if anything be mad at blizzard for putting him out on an island instead of having a contigency in place in case someone had to take personal time off

gaunt moat
#

10.2 is another 5% buff

gusty mirage
#

which is just a terrible business move

clever kindle
#

I think most people would agree it's egregious to have one person working on an entire class let alone 2

gusty mirage
#

but given the fact that they ruined half of their employee base by removing the WFH after 3 years with minimal notice

#

and lost a shit ton of devs

deft flicker
clever kindle
#

If there's an entire team I have yet to see a reference to them, because it seems like Realz is the one who works on most of the fixes.

#

And if there is an entire team is there not one other person who could engage with the community

gaunt moat
somber fractal
#

We have a major talent just sitting in our tree that doesn’t work. Imagine that being the case for any other class

clever kindle
#

Even just something acknowledging concerns would be nice. It seems to reason having more people working on a class would be better since you have more viewpoints and people who maybe say main each spec, there's under 15 classes it's not like asking for 2 primary devs on each is some crazy huge stretch thats going to bankrupt blizzard

royal lantern
#

cant see it anymore

#

You're right, but usually that could be the QAs

But at this point I'm just more annoyed with communication lanes then anything

Warlock Changes: Volume XIII Chapter 7 Page 452

#

we decided to buff them again because warlocks are wicked

gusty mirage
#

even when there's a head dev designing a boss

#

there's a team designing it with them

#

people underestimate how much effort goes into implementing anything into a game that's older than 99% of #outlaw

clever kindle
#

I could always message Xelnath on steam to see what the warlock team looked like back then, but Im pretty sure it was just him

#

that was mop though

gaunt moat
#

In the end it's the team lead (and above) that dictates where they should focus their attention
So it could be either bug fixing, new features, future features support or a rework.
But reworks would take the most resources i assume, so it's usually not on top of the list of urgency.

clever kindle
#

so times change anyways

gusty mirage
#

yeah back in the day they'd assign certain devs to classes

#

but before they lost half their workforce due to the "move to southern california or leave" policy change

#

they bought out that dev in Boston

#

with like 200 people

#

that's a lot of people lol

#

management at AKB is sus

tbh

somber fractal

You know what doesn’t take a lot of work. Like two sentences telling the community literally anything about their current plans

#

All I want is for someone to tell me why a talent like triple threat in the outlaw tree doesnt affect ambush when its in a specific tree limb with no connections dedicated to ambush modifiers

or why exsang is completely broken

the new blood is trying to fix that, but I reckon a lot of upper management is standing in their way

somber fractal
#

It’s been pretty good lately in other places. They are just letting us rot for whatever reason

gusty mirage
#

and you're right, they should've 100% said "yo rogue things aren't coming because some issues arose"

#

and people would've at least been less annoyed

clever kindle
#

I hope mike ybarra is playing hardcore and wanders into a PVP area

#

in d4

they could've kept it vague af

#

and just said "shit happened sorry, aiming for 10.1.7"

#

and people woudl've been pissed, but still at least been able to stomach it better

somber fractal
copper hazel
#

unfortunately, telling people "its coming, just not quite yet" is the kind of thing other people on the team will miss/ignore and the weeks of no comms on it timeline is really not long to them vs a lifetime for us looking at it in microscopic detail

Question, on the sepsis opener, when/where would you put a Beacon use? I'm currently using Bomb+Beacon, I've been using bomb on pull and Beacon after the 10s but not sure if there's a better way

runic hinge
#

after rupture is what i think people are doing

void mesa
#

During the flag window, but before DM/Sepsis

royal lantern
#

flag window?

void mesa
#

OH

#

Im dumb

#

Been playing back and forth with sub and sin x)

#

So just slip in Beacon after rupture but before Sepsis/DM

royal lantern
#

was just a bit confused kekw

gusty mirage
#

if you're running bomb & beacon,
for sin: garrote > snd > ER > Rupture > Beacon > rest of the rotation (if you have bomb macro'd into abilities this'll make sure you can get every beacon cast off without a problem
for sub: you beacon before going into flag > rupture > etc

void mesa
#

I also confused myself hard x)

#

Any pros/cons with garrote>snd>ER>Rupture or garrote>snd>muti x2>rupture, as suggested with the picture guide in #assassination-faq ?

#

Now that you mention using ER faster, I feel like its just, better?

gusty mirage
#

from personal experience, it's a smoother ropener, and it puts ER on CD sooner

deft flicker
#

Picture is a bit oldge

#

ER in opener is tge move

gusty mirage
#

yeah the ER 3rd global thing is like a smol optimization discovered in the last 2-3 weeks

void mesa
#

I feel like its gonna help out having a faster and longer rupture early

gusty mirage
#

and you get a juicer 7cp rupture

void mesa
#

And also puts everything on CD faster by saving the GCD before sep/DM

gusty mirage
#

so you're juggling less while getting through your opener

void mesa
#

exactly

deft flicker
#

@gusty mirage where would you macro bomba as sub (assuming you’d want to do that)??

void mesa
#

Still learning Sepsis and its been very weird not hitting ambush 🙃

gusty mirage
deft flicker
gusty mirage
#

yeah or I just blast it and eat the 10s icd

#

as long as you get the first beacon cast out asap

#

it's sort of a non issue

#

cause you're getting an x amount of casts per boss fight

#

right

deft flicker
#

Yeah

void mesa
#

Unless your fight ends literally at 5min yeah hahaha

gusty mirage
#

ideally I'd like to not macro bomb

#

but I tried that and forgot to press the button

void mesa
#

I enjoy not macroing bomb 🙂

deft flicker
#

I was looking for something like BtE (stuff you press every 15-20 seconds)

gusty mirage
#

I went a minute before I was like "oh shit I should press bomb dispenser"

#

crits reset it faster though

#

that's the shitty part

#

so for sin I have it macro'd to mutilate and shiv

#

which I 100% recommend against if you have double on-use

#

but if you're stupid like me

#

just macro it

#

who cares

#

I had that icd ruin a magmorax kill for us 🥲

#

boss was at 700k hp

#

and I was evasion tanking it

deft flicker
#

Yeah, fair enough

gusty mirage
#

and I couldn't get beacon off

#

🥲

void mesa
#

lmao

#

unfortunate

gusty mirage
#

could've saved us about 15 pulls

#

🥲

void mesa
#

Gotta say, feels good to evasion tank the last 1% of a kill hahaha

gusty mirage
#

it was me and our mage left

#

and he was in ice block

#

it would've died to my dots

if beacon didn't crit

and we killed it

gusty mirage
#

might be closer to 10%

but still

#

you're in literally the top 10% of all players

#

that's nothing to sell yourself short about

Its funny and sad cuz I realistically know its still decent

But whenever you look up stuff and help and optimization... Its all like "Doesnt matter for H anyways cuz overgear lmao" and thats still true

sounds like optimal usage of CD

gusty mirage
#

even with the 10% nerf

void mesa
#

Very stupid Q: does dying from a 1 shot (like, not a dmg ability) still kill you or does it proc cheat?

gusty mirage
#

depends on how much the hit is for

spice spire
#

Depends on how hard you got hit

gusty mirage
#

if it's beyond a certain threshhold you die through cheat

void mesa
#

Like staying in the underground in Sark

gusty mirage
#

oh you for sure just die

spice spire

Ur dead

#

thats what I tho

Like if Oxi hits me cheat will go off
