If it's really just 2 near traps now + nerf to elimination protocol
that's equal to saying "This boss was a failure, just move a long"
how much do you guys open for on boss with lust?
Hello Im new in this discord. I really need help with Assassin rogue. I have a lot of questions about this spec and Im not sure which guide or person to follow. I usually run +12 - 15 mythics but Im usually tied or below tank in dps and overall damage.
like 170k-200k if beacon crits
i mean really depends on when you're checkin the number
What's a good opener? I usually do Stealth, Indiscriminate Carnage (assuming it's not on cooldown), then Garrote, Rupture, Mutilate, Mutilate, Envenom, Fan of Knives once or twice then Crimson tempest. I try to rinse and repeat this best I can. Is this good or bad?
oh
assassination AoE is a bit messy
conceptually you're trying to keep up enough ruptures and garrotes for energy, maintain crimson tempest, and then pound away with envenoms for poison bomb, or continue spamming crimson tempest
I read the FAQ opener and it's pretty confusing >< I always do triple Garrotes if my Indiscrimiate Carnage is on cd. But im not sure what the FAQ is talking about with Exsanguinate. Which is a skill I honestly have no idea how to properly use. That and Im not sure when to properly drop slice+dice. I never use Ambush, not sure if thats bad or not
okies Ill ignore Exsang. I also typically try my best to follow this but dang I do so little damage. Im 419 ilevel but DK's, warriors, hunters below that blow me out of the water in damage
yeah
they do aoe
assassination doesn't
that's expected
especially if you don't have tier
But Indescrimiate Carnage is good AOE right? Improved Garrote with that applies to 8 mobs
with Rupture
419 ilevel makes me suspicious
it's a bandaid on a bullet wound
I dont follow
you can't slap a decent aoe cooldown on dogshit baseline aoe
and pretend like it's all fine
ah
also yeee my ilevel is low. It's hard for me to get accepted to anything higher than +15
garrote and rupture don't have enough strength behind them to make IC really strong
dang
so most of the time it's just CT spam or envenom spam and hope for poison bomb procs
with tier
and neither one of those is really that appealing
what's ct?
crimson tempest
ah
So after a full opening rotation I usually do Echoeing Reprimand and spam either Envenom or CT. Is that optimal?
yeh pretty much
yeah
Then Vanish (if I have it) to reapply Garrote
as long as you have the energy to sustain that
yes
might be worth holding for some bosses
maintain ct, ct if there are more than 6/7 targets or if the targets arent grouped
if theyre grouped and its below 6/7 spam envenom
or just envonem if you want to prio something down
does it cahnge?
without tier pb kinda dookie
I dunno what tier means 😦
oh I havent done any raids yet. Only mythics
Mind if I post my talents? See if there's something I should change?
but we can talk about why some things are bad etc
oh
yeah that's the recommended stuff
just swap exsang for master assassin
cause of the bug
I copied this from wowhead
and you're good to go
okies
yeah that guy knows whats up
wowhead guy writer likes to microwave chicken nuggets
I heard he's also like 6'8 and super cute
I heard this too
no shot
does it destroy the lore in your head if I'm not
So the FAQ mentions using Ambush. I never use this skill
Two separate measurements
so mutilate can proc a free ambush
yeah and you don't have blindside talented so you don't need to
it's a talent that forces you to press it
yes it does
oh
entirely
I'm only 6'1 sadly
Should I get that talent?
okies
it's mostly a raid thing
so much fucking raid damage on rashok holy
yeh but you feint all of it
actually about to start macroing feint
gonna put that shit on mutilate


you're cooked
Would you guys recommend the mod Hekili? I installed it today because people told me to get it to improve my dps. But I feel like the mod doesnt look at timings for things like death mark, slice and dice, Echoing Reprimand, CT
I've seen more people gain damage from uninstalling hekili than I have seen people gaining damage
its crazy how bad that thing is
Speaking of Feint, when's a good time to use it? I only click on panic if Im taking damage
same with Evasion
evasion is super niche and used to cheese very specific mechanics
feint you gotta know when the big aoe hits are coming in
same with cloak
if you don't know mechanics you can't really defensive them
just a knowledge thing
ah gotcha gotcha makes sense
i actually did make a shiv+feint macro for expiremnts because i had to pop it in opener everytime for expirements and clicking feint was fucking with my head
and if you don't know what to evasion you just kinda dont
Or just don’t stand in it and let the rest of@your raid do it
cause it's used like maybe twice a week at best
hekili only somewhat bleh for super scripted specs like fury
apart that its bad
it tells you what to click but not why
on rashok you just feint every jump idk why it's so bad
and half the time the way to click isnt actually the 100% right thing to do
yeeee thats why I dont like it
my feint keybind needs to change
its unappealing to hit
i have it on control+back mouse button
I use v
v is sespsi
Good old v
I also have zero macros set up. I've never used them and I know thats bad lol. Is there a guide here for some useful ones?
q is echoing
ain't really any useful ones
dm+potion
I don't use any macros
but apart that not really
well dm potion sure
Even for bomb dispenser?
dm?
death mark
You crazy man
for raid
ah
keybound
we love it when the boss parrys your mutilate 3 times in a row
dang guys....I dont wanna sound like a downer but it looks like there's not a lot I can do to improve dps besides getting gear. But thats hard b/c I get declined from most mythic groups
run your own key
welcome to world of warcraft solo player edition
run with the guild
okies
if you don't have a guild or friends
it's a rough time out there doing group content
also please tell me how I'm supposed to beacon on sark like that
What about Fan of Knives? I tend to spam it for Crits to build combos/spread poisons. Good or bad?
not spam...but like I click it a bit
it's your generator
Have 2 mutis
you guys macro beacon?!?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
HahahHhHhhHhHhHahahahahaha
you talk about not macroing as weird when doing that
I have 2 shadow strikes on my bar on sun one 1 and 2
i have 1 muti on my mouse button
bro
1 is no bomba
it gets the jkob done
2 is bomb which is always my builder
nah brother
So I hit one
I'm boutta butter your biscuit for that one
Listen man it works
I don’t have anything useful on one anyway
cause you just created a keybind for a trinket
because I'm not deranged

And two
how do you build with 2
what finger do you use
By pressing it?!?!?’bbbn

does it like not limit your mobility?
Okay so
if I open a log of your ovid
will I see you just strike -> cast beacon -> cancel beacon
over and over
oi mine too
I build on 2 aswell and it feels fine, also you really dont need to move much if you move correctly from the start for most bosses
Get rekked
fair enough
21<54
i parsed a 100 ilvl parse on heroic mag on fire mage
i was 404
did a whopping 56k 
You were prob the only one lol
i need to figure out why my damage is so inconsistent
didi you not macro your beacon
(I'm joking)
one strike for slot 2
i was about to say
what is this secret tech i dont knwo about 
The is this me
that is you yes

Wtf you creep I knew it
isn't anvil off the gcd?
yeh but if he's macroing it
it should send same time

It is macrod so dunno why that’s like@that
MYbe just bad game is bad but god knows
If you look at my Rashok prog
When they don’t have bomb or bacon ye
I fucking love being a rogue this conversation has made my day
Whats anvil?
a trinket
Ah
i love bacon
It’s good until you get them tho
Id have rerolled tbh
I didn’t get grieftorch till my last kill of raz last patch so
i got it like week 2 of vaulkt
that thing was so broken
it would be like 10% of my damage on prog
Gonna try and get some decent parses in this patch see if I can get into a good guild next teir but I need to stop clowning in my guilds hc runs
that was my last teir loll
now im trying to get good parces in a mythic guild so i can move onto a guild that gets ce early tier and not late
The dream
I don’t mind my shit guild tbh it’s so fun
And the longer we take the longer I have something to do
i play with a casual aotc guild ocasionally
and so does a juicer fire mage
and last tier we went in towards the end on their heroic reclear and fucking juiced the damaged meters
he opened for like 400k on council
Whis get out my logs

Is this where I get free V-bucks?
what thta?
Ikr
raz dropped a grieftorch? 
interesting you farmed rasz for grieftorch
considering it dropped off brood


!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
What're the assassin rogue stat prio for mythics? Ivy Veins says: Crit, Mas, Vers, Haste while Wowhead says Crit, Mas, Has, Vers. Or does it not make a difference?
general guideline to follow when gearing:
Agility > Crit > Mastery >= Haste => Vers
so ilvl ends up beating all on non-jewelry
and at high enough gear levels the last 3 are interchangable
Highly recommend when you start getting more gear to download the SimulationCraft addon and using https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/topgear to sim what the best gear set-up is
the robot will make gearing choices easier
subs or dubs for the wow anim?
e
Is there a WoW anime?
I have disected the trailer to many time ;-;
I know the HEX codes of every pixle ;-;
Didn't those end up not being a full series? Just a few short videos
I recommend the Korean dub
"Potential wasted" - everything
Warcraft movie
If it was about Arthas and it was very gritty, it would have been amazing
why is the sin wowhead all over the place.
idk
what's all over the place about it
it's still got exsang but the rest should be fine
ah the classic rotation tool
little bit thrown off by the races too since it says NE/BE but disc says tauren/dwarf
But 400 dps
I just put most played so people would leave me alone tbh
yes starved, no pooling
i want to play it but having to refarm crit/mast gear is unfortunate
Boss dmg looks good since statistically 5th on WCL
whatever you have now is fine
I'll see about how to simplify the rotation tool, the code on the backend is basically unusable for complicated stuff and the way it's written atm just means there's like 200 lines for builds that aren't quite optimal anymore
but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
no promises
cause any touching I do to that thing is probably gonna be a full rewrite angle
and that's a fuck ton of time to spend when we're waiting for a rework with baited breath
I find that energy isnt too bad. Like it's bad but I wouldnt say starved. I think what stalls our DPS (at least for me) is our unforgiveable cooldowns. Vanish, deathmark, indicrim Carnage. Like whyyyyy
well you're also doing m+
different beast a bit
assassination by design is energy capped in aoe
ah
oh OH! I just realized you're the one who writes the rogue wowhead guide! Very cool!

He’s also a qt
for aoe do i spend on evenom or ct?
The most general answer:
If targets spread / CT about to expire - CT
If targets stacked, envenom (hoping for poison bomb)
Does Rupture drop poison bomb or is it only Envenom?
only envenom
Im gonna craft a titanic insight ring. I know crit/mast are the good stats, but sims showing me crit/haste is better. is it just my gear or is crit/haste fine
and i bet if you enchant with haste / gem with haste
you'll get a different result
is there diminishing value on mastery
like after a certain % better to go other stats or something
there diminishing value on all secondaries
but there's no specific breakpoint
and it's only diminishing relative to other stats
kind of
Kind of is right
but like, even if you go 0%haste and just stack full crit mast you'll be fine
Their value does diminish at a certain point, but really all that matters is the value they bring compared to others.
Anyway, robot smart

trust robit
Now that Zskarn is getting nerfed, i'll actually be sad if we won't get him down tomorrow
This is the kind of questions simc was designed for. You let a robot play your character on its own testing thing and it tells you which combination of gear yields the highest results
my sim for rings showed haste/mastery, but maybe its because I have 5k crit?
haste good
I hope I wont replace that ring soon

well, since I started gearing for sub first, haste good almost non existant in my build haha
I suppose having more haste on gear means having a more 'smooth' rotation with extra energy to spend
You’ll never notice the difference
But if thinking that helps you sleep at night
Then yeah
Sounds good to me
I will spend all raid night looking at my energy bar
I promise you still won’t be able to tell
10% haste adds roughly 1.3 casts a minute
Specially after I die to avoidable aoe cause I'm looking at my energy bar
If you can tell the difference between 58 beats per minute
And 59
You should become a drummer
And play for a philharmonic
Cause like
Im a Pianist, does that count
Kinda?
I will sleep happy tonight then
I study music in university and I’m not that accurate in my time keeping

Skill issue perhaps
We all have lies we tell to ourselves to sleep at night. That will be one of mine (noticing) together with "I could have CE if I had a raid team as good as me"
TRUE
why complicate it
just lie to yourself that you could be happy if you achieved your next goal
covers all bases in all aspects of life

I have no goals
Lie to me sweet cheeks
your parents love you

oxi 💃

That doesn’t work somehow
But it could’ve been a nice cheese strat
that's too complicated: "I could be happy" should suffice
There's a song i learned in the past where the left hand is playing regular sixteenth notes, but the right hand is playing sextuplets... confuses my brain haha
Hand independency is really tough in general tbh
yeah, two eighth notes in one hand a triplet in the other is ok for me, but more than that is pretty difficult
looks like i will just be passing on all future heroic loot in my guild lol.
i was just happy to get one in LFR ... like all 25 people rolled on it
we cleared mythic eggnog yesterday after our heroic reclear for the last time

the nerf annoucement came out like 5 min after we got the ring for our pally
We clear heroic sarka everyweek, we see cloak everyweek, but spoiler : never for the rogue yet 
just craft the sporecloak :^)
Bruh I have still yet to see a bomb drop in any tier period lol! Literally the worst luck 😂
We had 2 bombs drops, but the RL decided to gave them to the hunters... who are still using Harlan Dice and Ominous Chromatic Essence 
Had one drop and RL gave it to the tank 😉
I got our first cloak along with bomb and beacon 😄
i mean, its the same dmg for most Specs?
i know sadly 🥲

Your guild just free roll? Lol.
Dps trinkets for tanks first is a thing in my guild, too, and its really annoying.
Sadly thats not even a dumb decision when you think about it and kinda just the new meta; so dont blame your RL.
But I miss good "old" time, where tanks had defensive trinkets as meta picks
as I said I’m not mad, just sad I didn‘t get the trinket 😛
My guild hasn't seen one drop yet 😦
But at least almost everyone else has it from their vault
What makes you think something changed since 2 days ago if there has been no posts about it
in FAQ
What, that just says he updated the FAQ to include the fact that exsang is dead
weird way to says it tbh XD
Not really it says exsang deadge. Also if you then read the FAQ the faq now says exsang deadge
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Rework when 😭
Probably next season but maybe in the .1.7 update
It's okay though we're good enough for now and our time will come
Yeah everything is fine! Just wanted to let you know that I feel you 
Why would rl give to a tank
Is the question why the Tank got it or why RL was the one who decided it?
it was more that a tank got a dps trinket over a dps getting it.
Loot council 😛
idk men we could surely do better as a pure ST spec. if we wouldnt sac so much st for aoe in m+ i wouldnt even mind. But its either this or that for us. So surely it would be better giving as some more ST strenght
which is fine
annulet is still bis until the 11th right? is the crafted ring going to be the preferred replacement?
nice, thank you
i actually havent paid much attention to sin itemization, but i imagine its roughly the same idea as sub/outlaw (but haste being more valuable than vers)
you can replace annulet even now if you have good gear
stats are usually a mix of crit/mastery/haste
how bad does sin feel with 0 haste
its fine. u wont notic it.
we don't have insane haste levels like in laste bfa with corruption
so don't think you would notice a diffrence
exsang isn't played anymore
sepsis is played
but you can read about it in the faq or pins
where do u beacon in opener
... -> rupture -> beacon -> sepsis -> ...
Depending on gear level annulet gets replaced with stat ring so sim yourself
Saying that you don’t feel the difference between 0 and let’s say 12% is cap
You feel it and at 0 you feel more energy starved
Get 15% more haste so you can cast 2 more mutilates per minute 
Never feel starved again
would 15% more haste even give you two more mutilates? lol
after the opener i am unsure of what to do. Can anyone help me?
I agree, I had 0 and it felt horrible. switched up a couple pieces and it feels much better
Which part are you confused about
And are you talking about st
yeah, energy SURGING in basically 
@blazing jewel yep just st, i know that i will keep uptime of shiv garrot rupture and snd at all time. I am just confuse what is my goal after hte opener. Is it to wait for sepsis and deathmark to come back in order to pump and in the meantime i just mut and envenom
also should i vanish garrot? and how to use ambush becauyse i have to be in stealth to use it
Basically to be as energy efficient as you can and not sending a dry shiv with no energy
And to hold shivs for sepsis/dm
Like if sepsis has 30s of cd left and you have no shivs just start holding for then
You hold vanish for the second deathmark
And then 2nd vanish gets slightly complicated based on timing
How exactly are you using sepsis that’s a common mistake people make
sepsis and deathmark always goes together like coldblood and secret?
Nononono
honestly i have yet to do any dungeon and raid, just hitting dummy!
No, Sepsis is excluded from DM
So no need to bake them
The reason sepsis is good
Is for extended improved garrote uptime
Not because it pairs well for dm
oh
You basically always send sepsis on cd
do you always do sepsis garrot?
Yea
So you do the opener right and you have a while in improved garrote
Then once those fully run out you refresh with a normal one
Your goal is at 1:30 to press sepsis garrote and shiv
that the 2nd sepsis right?
Yup
And then when that sepsis buff runs out and you get another free stealth cast
You hold that buff as long as you can to refresh garrote
hold what buff?
Because those garrotes will last long enough to be in the start of your second dm
The sepsis stealth cast buff
When sepsis runs out you have 10s of a buff that lets you cast a stealth ability
Same buff as when you cast it
does that only occur with the 2nd sepsis?
im using the first one and it uses it immediate after i use garrot
Well the first one is different because you have the garrote from stealth already in the opener
Sepsis - 10s during the bleed where you can cast a free stealth
After that 10s, you get a different buff for 10s that lets you cast another stealth ability
ohh i see i see
So you mostly just pandemic it the best you can
But what I said earlier about the first vanish being around 2:05-2:10
The garrotes from your second sepsis
Should last into your 2nd deathmark
And then when they are in pandemic range get to no cp and send a vanish garrote
ok let me see, let me try to sum it up
Related but slightly off topic, yes/no to doing Vanish - Ambush - Imp Garrote?
does mutilate take up the stealth cast buff?
Make sure you have muti on your stealth bar 🙃
But if you have a blindside proc it will use blindside first and not the sepsis buff
ok ok, better improving we doing more dmaange now
so sepsis is basically like dance of sub?
you can use any stealth ability you want
Kinda? Stealth bar pops up, but unlike Dance you only have 1 use at a time
I’m 99% sure you just want to send 1 garrote from vanish so the other globals are whatever you want
Not fully up to date on that but I’m fairly confident
Reasoning was that well, since were likely to go Imp Garrote - Muti - Spender, why not use Ambush instead? Not fully sure what the potential loss would be (outside slipping and missing the 3s window)
It would be pretty easy to plan for
Just don’t know the exact gain so I’m not going to be like yes do this
@gusty mirage help

Fair enough^^ Still a scrub sin so just spitballing stuff out
First vanish in st
Sure you can do that, this topic comes up every once in a while. The only time I'd advise against that is during DM with SS talented, since in that case: van - Gar - finish - Gar - Finish is the play
For or against - Vanish - Ambush - Garrote
Is it correct to ambush garrote finish
define correct
fantastic question
I thought double garrote was dead
do you want to send both of your shiv within the sepsis timing?
Also confused by the double garrote part but open to learn
if it comes down to that, mutilate is 2 attacks in 1 global (mh and oh)
It should be? Since we always line van and dm
double the chance for poison applications
during a cd that doubles your poisons
the double garrote thing
is just an old habit that's hard to kill for a lot of people
Does that mean muti has prio over ambush during DM..?
ideally you just want to pandemic your garrote as much as possible (gar x gar guarantees that)
or even (gar gar x)
I won't give you any concrete answers regarding this cause tbh I haven't simmed any of this shit
but just a few things to consider
mutilate > ambush in regard to poison applications
and realistically I wouldn't be able to give you any real answers beyond that unless I sim it
❤️
I'll probably take a whirl at it sometime today, cause it is a very fair question
ambush does do a good amount of damage
If anything it would likely be very minimal + or - just hit your garrote timing and you’re golden
- it gets benefit from shiv and the 4pc because of vicious venoms
I always assumed ambush >>> muti since proc and all
tldr: too many small moving parts to give you a concrete answer
Bs proc yea but a natural ambush is a whole different story
But i guess its not that much, mainly energy spent is the pros of ambush with blindside?
Tf is vicious venoms 
You think I read at all
I've never once crafted a theory and I'm a happier person for it
lol no
slovenian education system fails you
Oxi
Do you know how long I played sub and didn’t know that generators have a ton more crit
In the talent tree
you know how people overcomplicate openers?
all the pulls on sark
I did a dif order of the opener
During DM imp Gar gives 5 cp if you're talented into SS, so it is better than a single Mut unless you're playing kingsbane
prepull beacon so whispyr hates u
I always like it if we have similarities 
shouldnt be hard to get nelth trinket

then mythic beacon everyone else can get
nice minigame to pass some time ^^
I mean the question was if you would ambush first and then garrote later not if you mut
The difference is small since it's just like one drop in the ocean, but getting another finisher off is what I'd personally recommend so Gar finish Gar during DM 
Is there a trinket sim that’s still up
if its not bomb dispenser, neltharion trinket, beacon, anvil, or dice
it's probably dogshit
there ya go
Irideus?
the amount of people who dont read pins...
Are there any povs of mythic raid assassin rogues you can recommend to learn?
endwyr
oxi an opp
Yeah that's not right. His bis sim uses bomb + nelth, the sheet is just outdated
ofc I am
I'm a lawyer
a fed's worst nightmare
imma use the 5th amendment to slap my nuts on roujin's face
Jealous

My worst nightmare is something bitting me in the ass when I got to take a shit, so I guess thats the same thing as a lawyer

this is the kind of person the US Federal Government hires btw
Wanna be scared?
They hired me too
yeah but @gray crest a bitch
I will not accept roujin slander in this holy assassination topic
You’ll hear from my lawyer soon mister oxi
oxi is your lawyer
Fuck
you can sign a consent waiver to allow me to still represent you in the matter
although I recommend you take it to another lawyer to review
Consent to this pal 
sorry can't sleep with clients
Is that a law? 😮
yeppers
Damn
can't have sexual relations with a client, unless the relationship preceeded the professional relationship
There really is a law for everything
Ohwait
Can it preceed and continue throughout legal procedures/professional relationship?
Valid
Ur a bitch
mad cause cheddar smelling
And I bet you don’t even know bird law
fuck
Nah, quite the opposite really
asking for a friend of course: if you pay gold for an full Aberrus boost and the raid falls apart mid raid and the lead does refund the gold partly, does blizzard intervene or is it an grey area blizzard tolerates but doesnt interfere with?
How does a boosted raid fall apart?
Boosting Communities are banned Guild Boosting is allowed
If you get scammed while getting boosted Blizz wont care
Clarification: its a guild group for the most part
if you made an agreement with a guild group ingame chat i think blizz might do something
hard to say
Then why would blizz care
yea i mean, we havent started yet. but ive seen things in 14 years of playing wow

they dont care about all boosting in EU being run by communities either
true
everyone advertising as guild or private group and its all advertisers from communities
i just see it this way: offical chat for selling services, they advertise x for y gold
tbf service chat was made with crafting in mind i think
no idea 
They won’t care
They’ll laugh at you
they'll print out a screenshot of your character, pin it to the wall in their meeting room and laugh at you every day they meet up in the next 7 days
f
How much does sophic devotion rng affect our damage?
sophic laughs?
I'm not entirely sure how to quantify that though tbh
the difference between enchants and no enchants is 3.5%
so lik
I guess that's the average to 0 procs
you could technically also use a 95% confidence level
and compare the two
so like without enchants your 95% confidence interval is around 12.5%
and with enchants it goes to 12.7%
could also look at min/mean/max, accounting for the 3.5%
actually don't think that works
scratch that
i was already tired, and now i read this and im still not sure what i read
Start laughing now 
I'm sure it's been said, but man blizzard really giving us the cold shoulder after promising stuff 
rogue dev had to take time off after his dad died idk
Oh. OK. That's fair
I can't complain then, that is very unfortunate
rogue ain't that bad
anyone just been running raid build for keys? been seeing it crop up in m+ leaderboards
Nah it's not, new stuff is fun though
every day we stray further from gods light

I mean... my sims are telling me to do unholy things, so yeah
your sims aren't telling you to run solo dtb in keys
But think of the prio damage 
they aren't; but they are telling me to run msepsis for bolstering/tyrannical
For my group in 20+ tyrannical it helps honestly
yeah; I'm looking at 20+
this week just not seeing a ton of mongo aoe with bolster anyways
In dungeons like NL and VP
outside of kamikaze on freehold first pull
I assume this is like some janky 3 min 1 boss sim?
do we have a good cleave build? or is it just either AOE or ST with sins tree?
Sims tell you to run it on bolstering/tyrannical? Where's the option to sim different affixes?

negative; standard dslice/patchwerk nobuff sims
So uhh
cleave would be DTB/AP, it's not great though
Nevermind Whispyr will handle it
Too many demons
the difference of the dslice overall is about 200dps... so negligible; but the difference of the boss damage is 2k, so maybe less negligible this week specifically
So if your running with friends and they agree it can honestly help, pugs will get mad
My difference on bosses is obviously high, and in low pack size dungeons it's kinda worth it on tyrannical week
might give it a go tonight and then bin it for the rest of the season hopefully XD
You could also argue just play sub or modified sub tree but I'm stubborn and sin is still more fun to me
I'm specifically looking to sin leaderboard chase
so "just play sub" is antithetical to my goal of play
idc about overall io
Well it's possible for sure
I'm kinda same way but my motivation to push past 21's is low lately
I rather play other classes, it's fun to mix it up
So uh
I just switched back to rogue .. havent played it since legion lol.
Is it normal that i can apply 4 poisons to my weapons? lmao
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Seems like assasination is the only thing ressembling kinda combat of old.. Im switching off of DH and sub seems too complex for my dh brain
assassination is nothing like old combat
I just mean build dots build spend
hahahaha
quit cata -> didnt play mop (RIP)
came back legion as DH
tired of being bottom of barrel this xpac so im trying to find a replacement ;p
you didn't swim very far up from the bottom
if you wanna be epic dps in raid be evoker, if you wanna be epic dps in m+ be shadow
bro's playing a class with a required raid debuff, a raid defensive, an aoe stun, and a ranged interrupt
and said "I wanna play rogue"

you won't be tired of being bottom if you're on the bench I guess that's kinda real
Lmao
Whispyr why you so real with him, he just wants to enjoy the poisons and bleeds and all
and you think other classes aren't getting that same treatment?
I mean the man speaks the truth
annulet and eggnog nerf just affects dh?
never said that brother you ok fam
Here in Sin disc, we doom'n'gloom 🙂
what is eggnog, im missing that lingo...
I just don't understand the argument
tbf its only because of your ST, but if the tank pulls big its just gloom and doom moment with the raid build. I did it at the beginning where boss dmg mattered a ton for us because we were kinda shit. But i dont think its ever gonna be worth to go full ST build for a whole dungeon
the ring off eranog from last tier
Eranog ring from S1
yeah its fire damage + dh damage is a lot of fire

And it procs off of fire dmg, so it all loops back
The issue is that the buff is coming on the tail end of a nerf. So while most classes get a compensation buff to stay in the same place, we will also stay in the same place at the bottom of the barrel
so the buff technically does nothing to remove us from bottom on boss damage
Anyways youve managed to convince me not to play rogue, if that was your objective! lmao. Cheers.
Except on st then assa good
well yep

so we win by default, nice!
a class that has all of that which is getting another giga buff 
photoshopped image smh...
is there anywhere i can find the loot table for dawn of the infinite? i tried googling and i couldnt find any thing besides the trink
nvm found it
i can already see someone pulling up this image after the 9% outlaw buffs and complain why it was needed
it's compensation for ghostly strike though

ik
yeah; just finished a brackenhide in a raid + CT build... felt really weird, but my overall was close enough to my usuals and boss damage was notable. not a huge fan lol
but people who complain dont think why its 9%
they see number, they go doom and gloom
i prefer my AP/IC/CB over raidbuild in M+, imma choose aoe over boss dmg if i have to decide. Though im just usually not running keys on tyra weeks 🤣
(no worries whispyr, im running the faq build)
IRL has prevented me from doing fort week pushing so my io is shit lol
i wasnt really playing the last 2 weeks, and i did like 4 keys before realising its tyra
hopefully next week I can finally get a fort world tour 😛
most of my keys are 18s, fort i have 20s and so on but tyra week im pretty sure my highest is a 20 untimed vortex that i did like 4 weeks ago
i just have a downright hate against tyra week somehow 
idc what people play as long as they can justify their choices
at the end of the day, damage is like
one of the least important factors
to pushing m+
agreed
this explaind your innate hate against me not taking iron wire
we play still exsang ?
nope
no
not taking IW feelsbad :/
hahaha
Exsang deadge, rejoice
my whole thing is like sims are a tool, if you decide to come to a different decision than the sims because you think X situation requires something else, okay fine. We can agree or disagree about the importance of that choice, but you made an effort to think about what you're doing and why you're doing it, and using the sims as a tool to inform yourself. That's good, great stuff
but if you're just simming and then going "number higher see? Sim says number higher!"
then it's WWE steel chair from the top ropes
i mean i cant even explain why i didnt take it, i dont think i even realised i didnt have it skilled till you pointed it out
because i usually just copy pasted the faq/pinned build without questioning it
brb making random green number sims so I can get slammed with a chair
yeah that happens
idk
half the stuff about AP IC is like "okay but why would you play this"
and it's like "more aoe smile my overall goes up :D"
and we already went in circles about this in season 1
i kinda ignored it in S1 and only recently saw the build
it just felt good to have some form of aoe even when IC was on cooldown
ye
but the boss dmg part hurt me badly so i havent touched the build since
I thought AoE was for the other specs 
I had it in the FaQ in season 1 because fun big aoe
and then people are like "yo this is terrible boss damage and prio it's just aoe pad why did you put it in the faq if you don't even recommend it that's stupid"
and I'm like yeah okay you're kinda right
remove it for season 2
month later
WOW AP IC AOE

the circle of life
to me it was the fact that ER wasnt taken xD
yeh the shiv buff and some other random changes like tier and stuff was def underestimated
i mean you could have left it in faq with a notice that boss dmg sucks and its only for aoe if, and put it in like a red text or something so people cant complain
that's on me
I did
oh
well you know the assa rogue channel, if there is nothing to complain about, we turn off the monitor
because if i dont see something, i can complain about it
Whispyr posting the ap/ic build
I remember reading AP and being like
Damn, this was made for Council
Then its not played on Council 🙃
it was
huh
Oh it was?
that was the only place you played it
Damn, guess I looked at the wrong place or I was too dumb back then
sin rogue on council 
But yeah, talent literally read "specifically made for council" to me
The hardest prog fight of the tier
I remember playing sin on council and trying to play decent, getting a medium parse
Then mashing random keys on sub and doing 40% more dmg
Explain the 10 
I think my best fight from T29 was Sennarth and i have no idea why
that was the day I hid my UI and played first person mode for immersion
But on all toons it just clicked with me, I miss it
So like sub on raz 
"Is garrote in pandemic yet??"
gigachad move, bossfight where its legit a clusterfuck and you do that
half my screen was just on fire
