they fully remove the 2 rng traps

#

thats what makes the nerfs so big

#

because you just have less traps to deal with

gaunt moat
#

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"

vapid sierra
#

how much do you guys open for on boss with lust?

karmic patrol
#

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.

keen spruce
#

i mean really depends on when you're checkin the number

karmic patrol
#

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?

balmy condor
#

it's okay

#

there's openers in the faq

karmic patrol
#

oh

balmy condor
#

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

karmic patrol
#

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

vapid sierra
#

ignore exsang

#

its dead

#

its bugged and bad now

balmy condor
#

yeh that's just if you're talented

#

dw bout it

vapid sierra
#

progging rashok rn

#

this shit fun

karmic patrol
balmy condor
#

yeah

#

they do aoe

#

assassination doesn't

#

that's expected

#

especially if you don't have tier

karmic patrol
#

But Indescrimiate Carnage is good AOE right? Improved Garrote with that applies to 8 mobs

#

with Rupture

balmy condor
#

419 ilevel makes me suspicious

balmy condor
karmic patrol
#

I dont follow

balmy condor
#

you can't slap a decent aoe cooldown on dogshit baseline aoe

#

and pretend like it's all fine

karmic patrol
#

ah

#

also yeee my ilevel is low. It's hard for me to get accepted to anything higher than +15

balmy condor
#

garrote and rupture don't have enough strength behind them to make IC really strong

karmic patrol
#

dang

balmy condor
#

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

karmic patrol
#

what's ct?

balmy condor
#

crimson tempest

karmic patrol
#

ah

#

So after a full opening rotation I usually do Echoeing Reprimand and spam either Envenom or CT. Is that optimal?

balmy condor
#

yeh pretty much

vapid sierra
#

yeah

karmic patrol
#

Then Vanish (if I have it) to reapply Garrote

balmy condor
#

as long as you have the energy to sustain that

vapid sierra
#

might be worth holding for some bosses

vapid sierra
#

if theyre grouped and its below 6/7 spam envenom

#

or just envonem if you want to prio something down

balmy condor
#

well

#

with tier

vapid sierra
#

does it cahnge?

balmy condor
#

without tier pb kinda dookie

karmic patrol
#

I dunno what tier means 😦

balmy condor
#

like the tier set

#

from the raid

karmic patrol
#

oh I havent done any raids yet. Only mythics

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

doesn't help

karmic patrol
#

Mind if I post my talents? See if there's something I should change?

balmy condor
#

sure

#

probably just gonna refer you back to the faq :P

karmic patrol
balmy condor
#

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

karmic patrol
#

I copied this from wowhead

balmy condor
#

and you're good to go

vapid sierra
#

didnt see

karmic patrol
balmy condor
vapid sierra
balmy condor
#

I heard he's also like 6'8 and super cute

vapid sierra
#

do not trust

#

use faq instead

#

are you actually 6'8?

runic hinge
vapid sierra
#

no shot

balmy condor
karmic patrol
#

So the FAQ mentions using Ambush. I never use this skill

runic hinge
#

Two separate measurements

vapid sierra
balmy condor
#

it's a talent that forces you to press it

vapid sierra
balmy condor
#

oh

vapid sierra
#

entirely

balmy condor
#

I'm only 6'1 sadly

karmic patrol
#

Should I get that talent?

balmy condor
#

no

#

your talents are fine

karmic patrol
#

okies

balmy condor
#

it's mostly a raid thing

vapid sierra
#

so much fucking raid damage on rashok holy

balmy condor
#

yeh but you feint all of it

vapid sierra
#

actually about to start macroing feint

balmy condor
#

so healer diff I guess

balmy condor
#

brother

vapid sierra
#

gonna put that shit on mutilate

balmy condor
vapid sierra
balmy condor
#

you're cooked

karmic patrol
#

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

balmy condor
#

hekili is dogshit

#

uninstall posthaste

karmic patrol
#

ah

#

okie dokes

balmy condor
#

I've seen more people gain damage from uninstalling hekili than I have seen people gaining damage

#

its crazy how bad that thing is

karmic patrol
#

Speaking of Feint, when's a good time to use it? I only click on panic if Im taking damage

#

same with Evasion

balmy condor
#

evasion is super niche and used to cheese very specific mechanics

karmic patrol
#

and CLoak

#

lol

balmy condor
#

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

karmic patrol
#

ah gotcha gotcha makes sense

balmy condor
#

generally big magic hit -> cloak it

#

big aoe hit -> feint it

vapid sierra
#

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

balmy condor
#

and if you don't know what to evasion you just kinda dont

tall atlas
#

Or just don’t stand in it and let the rest of@your raid do it

balmy condor
#

cause it's used like maybe twice a week at best

vapid sierra
#

apart that its bad

#

it tells you what to click but not why

balmy condor
vapid sierra
#

and half the time the way to click isnt actually the 100% right thing to do

karmic patrol
vapid sierra
#

its unappealing to hit

#

i have it on control+back mouse button

balmy condor
#

don't tell me

#

I don't

#

fuck

#

why

tall atlas
#

I use v

balmy condor
#

that's so stupid

vapid sierra
#

v is sespsi

tall atlas
#

Good old v

karmic patrol
#

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?

tall atlas
#

Q is sepi

#

For me

vapid sierra
#

q is echoing

balmy condor
#

I don't use any macros

vapid sierra
#

but apart that not really

balmy condor
#

well dm potion sure

tall atlas
karmic patrol
#

dm?

vapid sierra
#

death mark

tall atlas
#

You crazy man

vapid sierra
#

for raid

karmic patrol
#

ah

balmy condor
tall atlas
#

Every 10 seconds?

#

Just put it on muti you savage

balmy condor
#

it's a 30 second cooldown

#

why would I need it every 10 seconds

vapid sierra
#

we love it when the boss parrys your mutilate 3 times in a row

karmic patrol
#

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

vapid sierra
#

run your own key

balmy condor
#

welcome to world of warcraft solo player edition

vapid sierra
#

run with the guild

karmic patrol
#

okies

balmy condor
#

if you don't have a guild or friends

#

it's a rough time out there doing group content

vapid sierra
#

i solo it

#

rogue is tank and healer

balmy condor
karmic patrol
#

What about Fan of Knives? I tend to spam it for Crits to build combos/spread poisons. Good or bad?

vapid sierra
#

for aoe?

#

its how you build cp

karmic patrol
#

not spam...but like I click it a bit

balmy condor
#

it's your generator

vapid sierra
#

you guys macro beacon?!?

balmy condor

HahahHhHhhHhHhHahahahahaha

woeful meteor
#

AintNoWay you talk about not macroing as weird when doing that

tall atlas
#

I have 2 shadow strikes on my bar on sun one 1 and 2

vapid sierra
#

i have 1 muti on my mouse button

balmy condor
#

bro

tall atlas
#

1 is no bomba

vapid sierra
#

it gets the jkob done

balmy condor
#

no no no

#

ovid

#

nah

tall atlas
#

2 is bomb which is always my builder

balmy condor
#

nah brother

tall atlas
#

So I hit one

balmy condor
#

I'm boutta butter your biscuit for that one

tall atlas
#

Bacon

#

Then go

balmy condor
#

that's just a keybind for a trinket

#

with extra steps

tall atlas
#

Listen man it works

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it works

tall atlas
#

I don’t have anything useful on one anyway

balmy condor
#

cause you just created a keybind for a trinket

tall atlas
#

So I just put it there

#

Yeah but you have a key bind for a trinket too?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

I have a keybind for both trinket slots

tall atlas
#

I just need to press the non bomb once

#

And then it’s boom boom

balmy condor
#

because I'm not deranged

tall atlas
#

Listen

#

You know that’s not true for a start

#

You crazy bastard

balmy condor
tall atlas
#

And two

vapid sierra
#

what finger do you use

tall atlas
#

By pressing it?!?!?’bbbn

balmy condor
vapid sierra
#

does it like not limit your mobility?

tall atlas
#

I dunno whichever one isn’t up my ass

#

Soz

tall atlas
#

Okay so

balmy condor
#

if I open a log of your ovid

#

will I see you just strike -> cast beacon -> cancel beacon

#

over and over

tall atlas
#

I mean I dunno

#

My logs are poop this tier go wild

vapid sierra
#

oi mine too

tall atlas
#

I was world 21 magmorax normal

Whis is quiet

#

He’s 100% in my logs

vapid sierra
#

i parsed a 100 ilvl parse on heroic mag on fire mage

#

i was 404

#

did a whopping 56k starege

tall atlas
#

You were prob the only one lol

vapid sierra
#

world 75

#

idk where that pi came from

gusty mirage
#

smh

#

filthy external enjoyer

balmy condor
vapid sierra
#

i need to figure out why my damage is so inconsistent

balmy condor
#

didi you not macro your beacon

vapid sierra
#

why would you macro beacon?

#

whatr do you gain from macroing it

gusty mirage
#

so you can use it mid-gcd

#

wdym

balmy condor
#

because that's what ovid said he does

#

one strike for slot 1

gusty mirage
#

(I'm joking)

balmy condor
#

one strike for slot 2

vapid sierra
#

what is this secret tech i dont knwo about OMEGAKEKW

balmy condor
#

but this looks like just a regular keybind with no strike

tall atlas
balmy condor
#

that is you yes

gusty mirage
tall atlas
#

Wtf you creep I knew it

balmy condor
#

the delay on this is suspicious too

#

if it were macro'd it would be lined up more

gusty mirage
#

isn't anvil off the gcd?

balmy condor
#

yeh but if he's macroing it

gusty mirage
#

why the gap

balmy condor
#

it should send same time

gusty mirage
tall atlas
#

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

vapid sierra
#

people play anvil?

#

rogues*

gusty mirage
#

yes

#

anvil p gud

tall atlas
#

When they don’t have bomb or bacon ye

#

I fucking love being a rogue this conversation has made my day

vapid sierra
#

im gonna go be a world 5 lfr parcer

#

make me feel better about myself

karmic patrol
#

Whats anvil?

vapid sierra
#

a trinket

karmic patrol
#

Ah

tall atlas
#

From amalgamation

#

It’s good but bacon and bomb is better

vapid sierra
#

i love bacon

tall atlas
#

It’s good until you get them tho

vapid sierra
#

i was running whelp+puzzlebox for a while

#

it was cancer

tall atlas
#

Id have rerolled tbh

vapid sierra
#

LMAO

#

exsang was like 2% better than sepsis too

tall atlas
#

I didn’t get grieftorch till my last kill of raz last patch so

vapid sierra
#

i got it like week 2 of vaulkt

#

that thing was so broken

#

it would be like 10% of my damage on prog

tall atlas
#

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

vapid sierra
#

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

tall atlas
#

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

vapid sierra
#

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

tall atlas
#

Whis get out my logs

vapid sierra
#

i finished at like 165k

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?

gusty mirage
#

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

it's still got exsang but the rest should be fine

Thats under ST rotation

#

The IC and exsang

balmy condor
#

ah the classic rotation tool

snow kindle
#

little bit thrown off by the races too since it says NE/BE but disc says tauren/dwarf

balmy condor

I fucking hate that thing

#

race is completely meaningless

But 400 dps

balmy condor
#

I just put most played so people would leave me alone tbh

snow kindle
#

👍

#

is this spec energy starved and need pooling?

balmy condor
#

yes starved, no pooling

snow kindle
#

i want to play it but having to refarm crit/mast gear is unfortunate

#

Boss dmg looks good since statistically 5th on WCL

balmy condor
#

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

karmic patrol
#

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

balmy condor
#

well you're also doing m+

#

different beast a bit

#

assassination by design is energy capped in aoe

for aoe do i spend on evenom or ct?

gaunt moat
#

The most general answer:
If targets spread / CT about to expire - CT
If targets stacked, envenom (hoping for poison bomb)

karmic patrol
#

Does Rupture drop poison bomb or is it only Envenom?

gaunt moat
#

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

keen spruce
#

crit haste fine

#

if you play other specs

#

crit mast maybe better

gaunt moat
#

and i bet if you enchant with haste / gem with haste
you'll get a different result

somber sparrow
#

is there diminishing value on mastery

#

like after a certain % better to go other stats or something

keen spruce
#

there diminishing value on all secondaries

#

but there's no specific breakpoint

#

and it's only diminishing relative to other stats

#

kind of

spice spire
#

Kind of is right

keen spruce
#

but like, even if you go 0%haste and just stack full crit mast you'll be fine

spice spire
#

Their value does diminish at a certain point, but really all that matters is the value they bring compared to others.

Anyway, robot smart

I hope I wont replace that ring soon

balmy condor
thin scroll
#

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

balmy condor

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

balmy condor

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

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

What makes you think something changed since 2 days ago if there has been no posts about it

spice surge
#

What, that just says he updated the FAQ to include the fact that exsang is dead

Not really it says exsang deadge. Also if you then read the FAQ the faq now says exsang deadge

vapid sierra
#

Why would rl give to a tank

cunning nest
#

Is the question why the Tank got it or why RL was the one who decided it?

pure moth
#

it was more that a tank got a dps trinket over a dps getting it.

annulet is still bis until the 11th right? is the crafted ring going to be the preferred replacement?

sonic zinc
#

yes

#

or nelth lair ring?

#

crit + whatever stat ring > annulet in 1.5

chilly rock
#

nice, thank you

sonic zinc
#

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)

vestal wren
#

you can replace annulet even now if you have good gear

#

stats are usually a mix of crit/mastery/haste

sonic zinc
#

how bad does sin feel with 0 haste

silk bane
#

its fine. u wont notic it.

vestal wren
#

we don't have insane haste levels like in laste bfa with corruption

#

any major changes since s1? i havent touched sin at all this season

#

where do u beacon in opener

tacit otter
#

... -> rupture -> beacon -> sepsis -> ...

idle inlet
eager solstice
#

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

sweet dawn
#

Hell I feel energy starved without venom rush

#

It's so sad

spice surge
#

Get 15% more haste so you can cast 2 more mutilates per minute poggers

#

Never feel starved again

void mesa
#

This almost sounds like a marketing scheme monkahmm

#

Where's my 0% haste gang at

fleet whale
#

would 15% more haste even give you two more mutilates? lol

glossy lagoon
#

after the opener i am unsure of what to do. Can anyone help me?

deep totem
blazing jewel
#

And are you talking about st

grim jay
glossy lagoon
#

@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

blazing jewel
#

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

glossy lagoon
#

sepsis and deathmark always goes together like coldblood and secret?

blazing jewel
#

Nononono

glossy lagoon
#

honestly i have yet to do any dungeon and raid, just hitting dummy!

storm onyx
#

So no need to bake them

blazing jewel
#

The reason sepsis is good

#

Is for extended improved garrote uptime

#

Not because it pairs well for dm

glossy lagoon
#

oh

blazing jewel
#

You basically always send sepsis on cd

glossy lagoon
#

do you always do sepsis garrot?

blazing jewel
#

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

glossy lagoon
#

that the 2nd sepsis right?

void mesa
#

Yup

blazing jewel
#

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

glossy lagoon
#

hold what buff?

blazing jewel
#

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

glossy lagoon
#

does that only occur with the 2nd sepsis?

#

im using the first one and it uses it immediate after i use garrot

blazing jewel
#

Well the first one is different because you have the garrote from stealth already in the opener

void mesa
#

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

glossy lagoon
#

ohh i see i see

blazing jewel
#

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

glossy lagoon
#

ok let me see, let me try to sum it up

void mesa
#

Related but slightly off topic, yes/no to doing Vanish - Ambush - Imp Garrote?

glossy lagoon
#

does mutilate take up the stealth cast buff?

blazing jewel
#

No

#

You can cast ambush but shouldn’t with the sepsis buff

void mesa
#

Make sure you have muti on your stealth bar 🙃

blazing jewel
#

But if you have a blindside proc it will use blindside first and not the sepsis buff

glossy lagoon
#

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

void mesa
#

Kinda? Stealth bar pops up, but unlike Dance you only have 1 use at a time

blazing jewel
#

Not fully up to date on that but I’m fairly confident

void mesa
blazing jewel
#

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

First vanish in st

#

For or against - Vanish - Ambush - Garrote

blazing jewel
#

Is it correct to ambush garrote finish

gusty mirage
#

define correct

blazing jewel
#

Biggest wiener

#

Most dps

gusty mirage
#

fantastic question

blazing jewel
glossy lagoon
#

do you want to send both of your shiv within the sepsis timing?

void mesa
#

Also confused by the double garrote part but open to learn

gusty mirage
#

here's a spin on the question

#

is this going to be during deathmark?

blazing jewel
#

Would be for the second dm

#

So first vanish

gusty mirage
#

if it comes down to that, mutilate is 2 attacks in 1 global (mh and oh)

void mesa
#

It should be? Since we always line van and dm

gusty mirage
#

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

void mesa
#

Does that mean muti has prio over ambush during DM..?

gusty mirage
#

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

void mesa
#

Very interesting

#

Thanks alot for the input!

gusty mirage
#

❤️

#

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

blazing jewel
#

If anything it would likely be very minimal + or - just hit your garrote timing and you’re golden

gusty mirage
#
  • it gets benefit from shiv and the 4pc because of vicious venoms
void mesa
#

I always assumed ambush >>> muti since proc and all

gusty mirage
#

tldr: too many small moving parts to give you a concrete answer

sour wraith

But i guess its not that much, mainly energy spent is the pros of ambush with blindside?

You never know

balmy condor

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

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

You could also argue just play sub or modified sub tree but I'm stubborn and sin is still more fun to me

yeah its fire damage + dh damage is a lot of fire

void mesa
#

And it procs off of fire dmg, so it all loops back

balmy condor
#

nah you know what

#

you're right

#

my bad

lucid harness
#

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.

# clever sapphire this explaind your innate hate against me not taking iron wire

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

clever sapphire
#

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

balmy condor
#

#

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
