of course. IC would have to be reworked too

gaunt moat
#

I don't know if that's gonna happen.
They don't intend to fully rework rogue

#

Poison bomb reworked as a spender that deals AoE depending on poisons on target? With amp venom stacks counting?

#

So you decide envenom vs bomb

More like.. tuning than rework. they said it's not gonna be retribution level rework.

Would something that does damage to garroted targets as a CD be the best contender? Do people like when garrote is an on cd ability in AOE?

Hmmm assass is weird I see how it got in the state itsin

Ok so I read like 2 lines

#

I agree it is very unclear when to use which spender, but just look at the faq xd

balmy condor
#

Nor will any guide

#

We don’t have a guideline for it

gaunt moat
#

okay well tl;dr:
it's not a great burst and it's not a great bleed, it's very mid but it's our only AoE.
then it also competes with envenom that can proc poison bomb

void mesa
#

That was a shorter and easier to read essay than I tho, but a goos read

slim hamlet
proven jasper
#

yeah i pretty much agree with what notter said in there

void mesa
#

And I think poison bomb might be a reason for CT to feel weird? Our AoE talent seemingly is good ST, but our ST finisher has an AoE proc chance?

slim hamlet
#

Still unsure when to just spam CT over getting envenom buff tbh, just do it when it feels right

personally i enjoy the feeling of proccing bomb in aoe more than spamming ct

The moment I heard about IC in Shadowlands, I was super excited about a massive, bursty AoE button that does giga damage. But with all the reductions to the cd, it's gone from a big bursty CD button to something that's a necessity in every single pull. I think the problem for me is that when you have your garrotes/ruptures up, there's very little to do other than spam CT and I'm not a big fan of FoK - CT - FoK - CT gameplay.

Garrote and Rupture are basically buttons that you press a few times between IC casts and completely ignore them for 20s after you slam down an IC Gar/Rup combo and I don't know how I feel about that.

prime pine
#

Guys, I have a question. When using echoing reprimand, you get animacharged combopoint(s) . Is it worth it to reach that combopoint slot using fan of knives--- instead of mutilate and missing the slot--- if my doomblade DoT is already on the target? Fan of Knives uses 35 energy instead of 50, does ~ 1100 less damage than mutilate, but gives me the one cp that ensured the execution of an animacharged envenom f.e.

Single target btw

limber lion
#

I understand that the oldschool multidotting gameplay doesn't work in modern games, so I'm at a bit of a loss. I think IC is a great addition, but I would want something to press after IC instead of spamming 2 buttons over and over for 15s straight.

#

Subtlety had a similar issue with Shuriken Storm - Black Powder spam when it was first introduced in Shadowlands, but I think it's gotten so much better with the introduction of Danse Macabre, big Ruptures and buffed up Secret Technique. It's still heavy on the BP, but you're encouraged to press other buttons as well to get most out of the spec.

subtle tundra
limber lion
#

We've never really had an AoE spender as Assassination other than CT but CT has always been the dot that you maintain, not something you want to spam. CT is a difficult one to get right because the maintenance part of it is great, but it can't be too strong so it doesn't get into CT spam category or CT in Single Target which a lot of people don't like (which I'm personally indifferent to)

spice spire
#

Holy based based based

limber lion
#

I would love an AoE finisher button that I can press along with CT after getting IC bleeds up. It just feels like I have to spam CT because there's nothing better to press. Or you run Poison Bomb, spam Envenom and pray for PB procs which was the worst part about Legion Assassination.

spice spire

#

Yea fok ct spam feels so dumb

subtle tundra
#

also IC limits the spec so much. the feeling that having to wait until the mobs are pulled and stacked before you can start attacking is so awful. starting a pull without ic means you tickle the mobs. doing an ic late into the pull many times means you get low value out of it cause the mobs die before ruptures get close to expiring and then you start next pull without it again and its a never ending cylcle of feeling dissapointed. if you use it mid-pull it doesnt even feel like a cd since it doesnt spike your dps either

#

im not a person who can link 2 thoughts so maybe these random ramblings dont make sense

#

also. just by existing it makes dots be weaker

prime pine

You’ll eventually hit it in 45s

keen spruce
#

I mean it's like 1/30 ERs that i don't consume all of the empowered cps

spice spire
#

Using a sub-optimal ability in rotation is a damage loss

#

I’ve been known to garrote a GCD early to force. But using FoK is hmm

keen spruce
#

if you have additional charges of shiv and ER is about to run out you could use that for 1cp

#

like if you're floating one anyways

#

but that might goof up your sepsis/dm if they're comin up soom

#

soon

runic hinge
prime pine
# runic hinge You’re not saving energy because if you force every anima charged combo point yo...

Well, while your anima charged combo points are active, I just try to force it if possible, but yes, after echoing is over, you will use muti to 6. I don't really see how forcing it with a cp finisher, does not save energy because your next 0 -> 6 cp is built using mutilates. You still end up saving 15 energy because you finished earlier using FoK.

At least, that's how it's running in my head right now

#

I am not really good at explaining it though, will just try it out. Thanks for thinking with me though 😄

gusty mirage
# prime pine I am not really good at explaining it though, will just try it out. Thanks for t...

I think you did a good job of explaining the thought process.

So essentially your point does make logical sense, you would probably save 15 energy by forcing the anima charged cp, but in modern wow the big thing is globals more-so than energy. Essentially you're trying to get as much damage per global. A better, albeit more confusing for most, way to look at the rotation would be through DPET (Damage Per Execute Time, which factors in the GCD of pressing the ability). While you may save 15 energy forcing that anima charged finisher, you're losing DPET by using an inefficient builder to get there

#

if that makes sense

spice spire
#

That’s a far better way of explaining it than I did, ty oxi WideGeorgeHappy

gilded oasis
#

I got baited by the diablo wowhead rogue changes post

keen spruce
#

Forcing anima CP would also only have value if you don't consume every charge within the ER window

#

but by normal gameplay loop you almost always consume them all anyways

You’re going to hit them in the 45 second window regardless tho

It sounds like you're thinking about it as only single chance to consume them. like in the scenario where you have 2s left on ER window. and you only get 2 more globals. then maybe FoK is slightly more efficient by like a few hundred dmg or something. but in 99.9% of scenarios. mutilating doesn't lose you that Charged CP, it just delays it. so no damage is lost. and the argument becomes, "should I FoK over mutilate because it's more energy efficient" which we know is "no"

balmy condor

ah

#

very simple

#

gusty mirage
#

well it was more about why we don't try to force any finisher on a blue cp

balmy condor
#

too rigid, the ways to force it are either too shit or too rng

#

like you could fok

#

but fok is garbage

#

and also seal fate rng

#

you could throw dagger

#

but that's actually dogshit

keen spruce
#

i think they weree just unaware of the other modifieres/benefits to mutilate and only looking at the raw damage to energy cost values of the two abilities

balmy condor
#

so wasting 1 of the combo points every 17th pull is just an evil we have to face

keen spruce
#

ez mistake

balmy condor
#

oh

#

yeah no

#

can't do that

wild lantern
gusty mirage
#

I gave the dpet explanation cuz I'm a nerd

balmy condor
#

double hit, double poison, blindside, extra combo points

#

like yeah fok is cheaper

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

but it also generates on average like 66% less combo points

#

and doesn't do as much damage

balmy condor
#

so like even not counting the blindside proc or whatever

#

it's just terrible

#

and the entire thing rides on the fact that you MIGHT miss the combo point

keen spruce
#

which you basically never do

balmy condor
#

like you don't know in advance if you're going to miss it obviously

#

which would mean you would have to do this in like the lasts 3-4 seconds of the buff

it's just a headache

balmy condor
# prime pine I understand what you mean, but it does not seem logical to me to not *try* and ...

also reading back on this:

when the 7 cp boost adds a ton of damage
I think you're super overestimating the effect of 1 combo point here. The combo point damage gain is linear, so the flat damage difference between 5 and 6 cp is the same as 6 and 7. That being said, the relative increase is actually decreasing, a 2cp envenom does double the damage of a 1cp envenom, but because it's linear, you would need a 12cp envenom to double a 6cp envenoms damage. 6->7 or even 5->7 just isn't anything impressive. In fact, most of the gain you get from echoing most of the time ends up being the fact that you just get straight up more casts of envenom because you saved gcds that you would've spent using a generator. Like a 3cp empowerment gives you technically 4 combo points of bonus, but you also saved the saved the effort of mutilating in the first place. So trying to force a generator in as an extra gcd, in order to hit the combo point that saves you a gcd normally just doesn't add up. At that point, you can just to a raw DPET like oxi pointed out and compare damage to damage since the gcd and the combo points are being used either way. And that's then when things like throw dagger get actually obliterated. Whats worse is that its also difficult to factor in the concept that you just legit get another shot at it. If I miss a combo point cause my mutilate crit too much, I just finish and mutilate again. At no point in that loop are you introducing inferior gcds into the mix, because there's a chance you hit on the next one, and the chance is fairly high. So instead of trying to force a bad gcd to get the animacharge IN THAT MOMENT, you could just take the loss and try again on the next build/spend

iirc shrouded, i don't have the talent tree's pulled up

gaunt moat
#

Yes it's shrouded.
But 3/3 zoldyck is used for very specific fights

keen spruce
#

it kind of depends on the content you're doing Metal

#

like it's strictly worse in most situations

#

but it doesn't make the class unplayable if you're just doin like heroic raid or somethin

gaunt moat
#

If you wanna play around with talent, you could just save some builds on your character, then run them all together on raidbot's "top gear"
and you'll see exactly the difference.

junior lagoon
#

unfortunately due to time constrains, I'll likely just aim for normal raids or some M+ (<10)

#

probably for that kind of content, the execute phase is short anyways and zoldyck might not be as good, don't know

gaunt moat
#

For normal, I'd say, you play whatever you want

void mesa
#

Just overgearing content will overcome the dps difference anyways, especially in normal/low m+

junior lagoon
#

the thing is, in my head I have a talent build that looks "fun", on the other hand I don't want to drop like 20% dps and underperform and drag everyone down because of it.

My main thing was

  1. sepsis vs bone vs whateveer else
  2. blindside vs tiny toxic (is 500% shiv that shit?)
royal lantern
#

500% more dmg of 0dmg is still 0dmg

gaunt moat
#
  1. Dropping both sepsis and SBS will be a big lose. but does it matter for normal mode? probably not really. you just need to stay alive.
  2. tiny toxic blade is not good. Shiv is really a low % of your overall damage
royal lantern
gaunt moat
#

but i'll give you a personal example of the differences in builds

#

I've got a "questing" build, which is the simplest build possible, no CDs almost except ecoing reprimand.
And i compared it to sepsis meta build

#

Sepsis build : 128k
Questing: 110.5k
about 13.5% dps difference.

#

(questing build could be made more ST, it has AoE talents)

junior lagoon
# royal lantern 500% more dmg of 0dmg is still 0dmg

my rogue is still only lv60, so I can only look at the ingame numbers. With the talent on, my mutilate would do 1504 dmg, ambush 3257 and shiv 5033.

Unless something hard changes at lv70, buffed shiv would be doing more than 3x muti dmg... ofc if muti dmg is just a tiny component of our dps, then it's not so good, but wouldn't the same apply to blindside? Just going by the numbers i see ingame, help me see things because I'm probably unaware of other passives and such that amplify other sources of dmg and make shiv shit

gaunt moat
#

We don't play blinside just for the damage, but for the utility.
It's a free builder - > no energy wasted -> more envenoms

#

and using envenom is a lot more damage than shiv (also considering shiv has a cooldown)

#

And ambush can also proc blinside, which makes them chain

dont be top heay on races that are "smaller" or "thinner" then human male

have 1 colour theme trought out the set, but dont go mono colour

dont have fully clashing different colours on leg and chest

if possible, matching feet+chest area(actually real fashion tip for irl btw, shoes+shirt same color is how you look decent)

clever sapphire
#

ah i have a lot of sets, playing undead and tbh i like my simple farmer transmog xD

#

sometimes i try to mess around and make something cool, but not possible usually since im missing pieces that would make it look good

did you get any loot since you simmed?

a single socket on helm

suuuurely a socket gonna give 4k dps

is it always worth spending blindside ambush vs mutilate at full energy?

#

like if you get a proc in your opener

royal lantern
#

if it doesnt waste CP, yeha, just use the proc

#

ambush does more dmg

#

you can also just hold the proc for a good while

like, if you are full cp and have ER up

you can still just go finisher->er->finsher->ambush

Is the aoe shiv talent crap for M+? Like, aoe shiv + carnage sounds good on paper, but is it viable at all?

not worth it

you lose a shitton of ST dmg

(ik cause i played it for 2 weeks straight to trigger whispyr)

the aoe shiv talent was good for 1 thing, council last season

thats it

Ahh, so it's like, exclusively for aoe scenarios (and there's no 100% aoe content scenarios)

Yea

I didn't wanna play sin because I thought it would be the same as season 1

But Sepsis alone actually changes it a lot

which is basically the faq stuff

and then I had a dm telling me to kms for trying to make an easy spec like assassination complicated

and I'm like

uhhhh

mb I guess bro

#

a lot of people don't enjoy reading

clever sapphire
#

i also dont, unless its your theorycrafting dracthyr_blush

#

also nobody told them to read it

#

its for minmaxing, if you are not interested then dont read

#

people are dumb smh

balmy condor
#

yeh I get it though

#

like I can ramble for hours about some shit

#

but at the end of the day, I also need to reach as many people with the info as possible right

slim hamlet
#

but only because it did dmg

balmy condor
#

writing a pin that hits character limit might be cool and all

#

but if 2/3 people open the pin, see it's a million words long

#

and then close the pin

limber lion
#

I really enjoyed Sepsis + Exsanguinate combo, but it's a very typical case of stacking cds which is fun

balmy condor
#

then it's kinda not good

limber lion
#

Having a 25s, 90s and 120s cds on stuff can be a bit weirdge

clever sapphire
slim hamlet
#

I liked having to think about when I use which CD depending on boss timer and so on

clever sapphire
#

probably giving a short tldr and linking to a long explanation is the best solution

slim hamlet
#

Which Exsang made you do more, but the actual spell is rough

Formatting is super duper important

balmy condor
#

you always have downsides

no matter how you format it

clever sapphire
#

well ye, no matter what you do there will always be complaints

limber lion
#

It's true

balmy condor
#

and it's a matter of which downside you think matters the least

limber lion
#

The biggest downside is Discord itself

#

The pin thingy is too small so even a short paragraph looks like it's 10 sentences long

clever sapphire
#

delete discord, go back to msn

limber lion
#

I used to be the biggest forum enjoyer back in 2000-whatever

Used to make some sick forum signatures in Photoshop

how do i get bonespike

Tough luck buddy

It’s an elite and special club

#

Best I can do is sepsis

clever sapphire
#

elitism

#

nah i dont want sepsis

#

i want deathspike

spice spire
clever sapphire
#

i enjoyed sepsis in S3 of SL, because i was still dumb back there. So pressing sepsis and then the tierset vendetta looked like big damage and was fun

#

even if i was wrong

#

but seeing sepsis now used as garrote refresher is just more meh

limber lion
#

Little did you know, if you did the Sepsis trick, it was one of the highest bursts in the game

#

2.5s Sepsis

clever sapphire
#

wait what

limber lion
#

If you macro'd Sepsis and Vendetta together, Sepsis would double dip the 4p tier set effect

#

So it would reduce it to 5s once and then again halving it to 2.5s

clever sapphire
#

i missed out on a lot of fun, feck

limber lion
#

Was pretty much only good for PvP and Sludgefist lol

clever sapphire
#

ey upper kara first boss if i may okay?

#

that boss was very important

#

xD

#

also im pretty sure i always used vanish for ambush in SL

#

no wonder i was gray parsing every fight

limber lion
clever sapphire
#

dont you dare challenge a casual player

#

i played everything back in S3

#

because i didnt know about sims yet

#

or minmaxing

#

or whatnot

limber lion
#

What a beautiful sight

clever sapphire
#

and i had a lot of fun

limber lion
#

But yeah, I remember discovering all the sims and minmax possibilities back in Legion

#

Was a good time

#

Raidbots wasn't really a thing yet back then

clever sapphire
#

my first ever logs

#

and i felt good about them

limber lion
clever sapphire
#

i didnt even know until end of SL that logs existed

#

🤣

#

i was praising a rogue in our guild that was green parsing

#

he always seemed like a god compared to me

#

and i would ask him for stuff

#

he also told me outlaw is good on soulrender, not my outlaw buddy

#

i was doing less dmg than my assa

limber lion
#

We love new players

#

Game would be deadge and boring if it was nothing but super tryhards

#

like me

clever sapphire
#

im only minmaxing if im actually doing hard content

#

and i stopped with that this season

#

got 7/8M last season

#

this one i didnt even bother to get 1 mythic kill

#

21 is my highest key

limber lion
#

Oh usually it's the other way around where people don't minmax progression and whatever

#

And only start that shit on farm

#

So they just put full focus on the progression and less so on the absolute best rotation and whatever

limber lion
clever sapphire
#

personally i like giving my best even during prog, so i know that if we died because lack of dmg, its not on me, because i gave my best

clever sapphire
limber lion
#

Rather do 5% less damage and not wipe the raid

#

I'm a mega tryhard so I aim to do both at all times, but I've also played the spec for 5+ years so it's pretty natural to me

#

Could never do it on something like a Fire Mage

#

The second I combust, my eyes are on my weak auras and my weak auras only

clever sapphire
#

pffff i raidlead a guild on sepulcher, doing my 70 logs as kyrian outlaw. That shit taught me how to do everything at once, not good enough for 90-95 logs, but good enough

#

but ye i get your point

#

its usually not worth it on harder bosses to minmax dmg when mechanics are the thing stopping the raid

#

unless you know the mechanics inside out and its your group thats messing up

limber lion
clever sapphire
#

well ye minmaxing currently for me is 95+

#

back then i was happy with 70 as a raidlead

limber lion
#

Dragonflight is an expansion that's so heavily tied to rng that it's just not worth thinking about parsing or anything of that sort

#

I could consistently get r1 on every boss on every difficulty in Shadowlands and now I can't get a 99 to save my life.

clever sapphire
#

thats why i only hc raid, cause i can get my 95 even with bad rng and no bacon

limber lion
#

It's a bit of a shame that Blizzard wants to kill replayability by introducing externals and so much rng in the game. But it is what it is

#

Skill ceiling/- expression is also going down every expansion

#

Like Assassination is very easy to play 100% correctly like the robot

#

But still your pulls vary 10k one way or the other

#

140k one pull, 125k the next

word, thanks!

As I see it, if I play sin it's because I want boss dmg only

I loved it

Bonespike is such nice for energy too

#

But after playing it all season 1, sepsis is really nice

clever sapphire

I enjoy bonespike a bit more personally

slim hamlet
#

If I had to only pick one to play for 20 season I would pick bonespike too

clever sapphire
#

If i could pick one legendary from SL it would be deathspike

slim hamlet
#

But since this is the only change from last season, I am liking it

clever sapphire
#

Played deathspike assa and outlaw in keys

slim hamlet
#

Yea was nice for dungeons

#

I played outlaw then tho

#

Dirty gambler

clever sapphire
#

I couldnt find bonespike to fit into sub so never played that

slim hamlet
#

But all the other legos was kinda boring too no?

misty holly
#

Bonespike got one of the 2 coveted keybinds on my mouse durnig Shadowlands (kick has the other one). It is never being replaced unless I have no choice.

slim hamlet
#

Echoing reprimand giving 1 charge baseline tho xd

#

Kick is on x

#

change my mind

clever sapphire

#

When I do M+ and have to take IC and dtb that keybind simply goes unused.

clever sapphire
slim hamlet

I'm a weirdo with my keybinds tbf

I minmax my keybinds to not hurt my fingers

all you other weirdos having most used on 1-4

I always have spender on q

My ambush used to be on Q but now gouge is Q

Gouge is Q

Q is Shadowstep for me

why

x

For “Fuck your cast”

slim hamlet
#

Prime spot, but not too prime

desert inlet
#

Nuhuh step is F and covenant button X

slim hamlet
#

step defo f

deft flicker
#

For me Q is movement, E is kick, R is stun/blind stuff, T is some maintenance thing, V is defensives, F for AoE. Shift + those in case I need another one

4 for heals, 5 for threat, 6 for something I put on others

Rest is rotational stuff

slim hamlet
#

cov has always been some kind of V or C

#

Usually shift+C or ctrl+C

desert inlet
#

I have vendetta on B and cloak on Y, those are weird right

slim hamlet
#

nuh uh

#

oh

#

didnt read last part

subtle tundra
#

f4 is my covenant ;3

slim hamlet
#

yea u weird

deft flicker
#

I might end up getting back to using X

agile osprey
#

We can all agree that taunt goes on “T” for applicable classes, right?

desert inlet
#

No that goes on Z because tricks is Z

subtle tundra
#

ER is not a covenant though, i've never played it in sl

slim hamlet
#

My fingers dont go further than V F R and 5

desert inlet
#

And they're both threat buttons

#

Wait Varas

Cooldowns go on z

I don't even pvp I just bound it cause I want the button

I remember when they were making talent trees

it's a good idea

Give us smoke bomb but it gives evasion if you're in it
