because that's just way too much energy
of course. IC would have to be reworked too
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
Wasn't there talk of rogue rework?
could make sin into a funnel spec lmao
More like.. tuning than rework. they said it's not gonna be retribution level rework.
i still dont know what actually changed with ret
kinda everything
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
I mean the only changes I am looking for is AP, 3 point nodes, exsang and Kingsbane
Garrote CD is kinda dumb in most contexts it feels
I feel like you're not playing sin in dungeons
did my highest keys in season 1 as sin
haven't played this season
What is wrong with CT?
scroll up for a link to my essay
aint reading allat
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
FaQ won’t tell you that
Nor will any guide
We don’t have a guideline for it
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
That was a shorter and easier to read essay than I tho, but a goos read
I am thinking about when CT wins over Poison bomb
yeah i pretty much agree with what notter said in there
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?
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
Same
@final star can you teach me the ass
until my MW casts ROP right after 😦
So you see the issue then or no
no @limber lion
Yea
Hey Kieron thanks for stopping by in assa
No problem
Kreem forced my hand
Not a direct CT problem tho, more envenom and poison bomb being hard to understand when it's better i think
I finally got my dispenser boys
how did you cut your image like that
snipping tool lol
looks like phone screenshot
wp for the bomb !
what, i didn't know you can do that

Wtf you doing a channel Tour?
ye channel tour before bedge
Well now i'm gonna use it all the time XD
checking all the outlaws I see typing in here
Remember to Hit the Mute roulette
I will remind myself of all the names
You can still run
You’re in the sepsis channel buddy
no @ebon notch
What makes you think i play gamba spec
Sapzilla gigachad
Didnt even realize my hero was still playing
Next to your name
as the other guy said, pirates died from sepsis all the time so its a pirate ability
You’re going to walk the plank soon if you keep that up
They should rename it scurvy
False bestie
scurvy != sepsis
I would do Gar Slice ER Rup Sepsis DM Shiv
But honestly opener logic doesn't really matter
As long as you press all the buttons in a row
get snd and bleeds up asap and press cds
and no matter the order, it'll be within like 0.2%
cev
What's up
what feelings u got about ic
thanks@limber lion
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.
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
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.
preach brother. spread the WORD.
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)
Holy based based based
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.
No it is not, you’ll eventually find the spot, you have 45s to do it, better to maximize your damage and hit it naturally than force it
Yea fok ct spam feels so dumb
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
I understand what you mean, but it does not seem logical to me to not try and force it when the 7 cp boost adds a ton of damage (and saves energy) compared to trying to reach 6 cp using mutilates and wasting energy. Do you know perhaps if someone has ever simulated something like this before?
You’ll eventually hit it in 45s
Like that’s the force. You have so much time to randomly land on 2-3-4
and yea sometimes you dont, and thats fine. sims say it be fine with it happening
I mean it's like 1/30 ERs that i don't consume all of the empowered cps
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 
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
You’re not saving energy because if you force every anima charged combo point you’re just muti to 6 every time after anyways so it’s just the same
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 😄
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
That’s a far better way of explaining it than I did, ty oxi 
I got baited by the diablo wowhead rogue changes post
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
tbf you could pin this, the whole global vs optimising for energy/cp/whatever thing applies to a lot of questions
How many questions would this really apply to (I’ve had to speak to 48 people today my brain is fried, truly) 
Yes that is pretty much what I mean, but wouldn't the 7 CP echoing reprimands boosted envenom damage make up for the lower damage caused by using one FoK during the global cd? Because else you would've missed the 7 CP window for example.
I could probably poke whispyr to get him to add it to the FAQ and have a much more elaborate explanation than that. He lives, breathes, and farts sims and the numbers behind everything we do.
You’re going to hit them in the 45 second window regardless tho
I’ve missed like 2 anima charged combo points in my last 5 raids
We run seal fate. So every time you mutilate from 0 cp it will proc either 2,3, or 4 combo points. Funny enough, those are the combo points for ER and mutilate is our primary builder
@wild lantern you're stepping on my turf stop it
She didn’t even post it (I checked)
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"
It would, if we didn't consume almost every anima charged combo point anyway. Occ. you'll miss one per ER window, but way more often than not you'll clear all 3. If the window was tighter and on average you missed more than you hit, you could make an argument for that. But by giving up mutilates, you're also giving up poison procs
squish?
No
you dirty mfers leave silec alone
Silec
Idk who that is
he's a good german lad
@wild lantern that's also your problem
😠
I just want to bully jez?
WH 
find him in germany and fight him

maybe I will
we were rogue buddies at one point don't forget
I was the rogue lead
and also I will straight up throw hands if any of y'all go for silec he is a good noodle and I will not stand for it
why are we poking me
btw
I don't follow the convo entirely
To elaborate @prime pine this is the breakdown of our damage w/o forcing the anima charged combo point. As you can see mutilate & poison damage is very high. On top of that every mutilate has a chance to proc blindside which gives us a free ambush cast. Also envenom damage is doing fine, because like I stated above it's very very very rare that you won't get at least 2 of the 3 anima charged CP

I’m sending the papers to my lawyer as we speak
are you able to sue yourself
no, I'd get disbarred for that

we're not allowed to file bullshit lawsuits
it's actually kinda rude how we're held to a higher standard
could've fucking fooled me with the way this dogshit ass country is run brother
fair
"bullshit lawsuits" is like a constitutional amendment at this point
Shamelessly imported talents, and missed the talent that gave blindside as a free proc if you use mutilate. Thanks for the elaborate explanation, cheers!
it was my pleasure, and if you ever have any other questions pop up feel free to ask
and if any of the regulars give you shit lemme know and I'll crush them

is this a "why no force animacharge on env" thing
yes
well it was more about why we don't try to force any finisher on a blue cp
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
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
so wasting 1 of the combo points every 17th pull is just an evil we have to face
ez mistake

I gave the dpet explanation cuz I'm a nerd
I gave a less detailed explaination as was ignored 
but it also generates on average like 66% less combo points
and doesn't do as much damage
sorry friend
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
which you basically never do
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
Not all I can step on
that's what I said 
idk I wasn't really keeping track of the convo all that well
HUH
Hope you’ve a great day

Is Exanguinate revived? or is it still broken?

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

ja
Makes sense tho

You know what's the best feeling as sin?
When you accidently envenom at 3-4 but PB still procs.

Winners win
Hit the 3rd anima charged combo point. Envenom. Hit muti get 3 combo points again. Think you’re getting 2 or 4, hit envenom proc pb, realize you’re a gamba master
quick question with the talent that makes shiv hit nearby targets does it dispel enrage on all targets hit?
yes
and then the warlock didnt move out of an aoe
"wipe it guys"
is sepsis necessary? I really don't like that most of our CDs have different cd and align every other moon. Will I miss out on too much dmg by dropping it?
Report the warlock for griefing my gambling dopamine 💯
sbs is around 2.5% worse if you hate the sepsis playstyle
compared to what? it's almost 3% better than SBS
so if you're willing to take that L you don't have to
i like how you both say the same message, but it feels completely different
just have garrote expiring so you can line up garrote and land that extra cp you needed 

3% can probably be overcome with the comfort diff
after taking a 447 hat and crafting some new pants, chromatic sims higher than beacon
i guess... i should be happy for less on use but that's interesting/feels weird
can I just drop that talent entirely and go for an extra pt in zoldyck? Or either skill is much much better?
beacon sims like 100 more than chromatic for me.
But I feel like beacon is better since it's on demand damage. like, you can nuke an add quick.
short answer no
sepsis very good and you would drop other stuff before it to grab 3/3zoldyks
what can be sacrified? for 3/3 zoldyck?
iirc shrouded, i don't have the talent tree's pulled up
Yes it's shrouded.
But 3/3 zoldyck is used for very specific fights
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
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.
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
For normal, I'd say, you play whatever you want
Just overgearing content will overcome the dps difference anyways, especially in normal/low m+
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
- sepsis vs bone vs whateveer else
- blindside vs tiny toxic (is 500% shiv that shit?)
500% more dmg of 0dmg is still 0dmg
- 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.
- tiny toxic blade is not good. Shiv is really a low % of your overall damage

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)
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
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

is sepsis affected by deathmark?
thanks for actual numbers. Could you give me your lvling build?
BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIkEJJJJUSAAAAAAAkIAJCAAAAAAg0QiDUSCJJJplSikIEEJOQA
This isn't optimized or anything, it's just the simplest build possible that also has AoE.
tty
No, Sepsis is not a Lethal Poison.
so do we use it on cooldown? Or do we have to wait for some other CD to align them?
also, does sepsis work with master assassin?
no
Yes we use Sepsis on CD.
I don't know if FAQ is updated, but in the pins there is information about sepsis usage.
yes

garrote should always be up anyway
yeah but i was like override on cool down or wait till pandemic
makes sense
that being said, if i know sepsis is coming up in 4 seconds
and there's like 6 seconds left on garrote.
I won't refresh it.
(just as an example)

13 handicap gang gang
I have 15
I’m working on it this year but it’s slow going
Hoping to be down to 18 by the end of the summer


If I want evasion to work how much of an angle do I have for it to count as facing something. Is it 180 degrees or is it a smaller area?
I'm a 10 rn on paper but i think i'm more like a 15
I shot a 74 last summer and i haven't recovered from it yet 
I need to drink less when I play. That would probably help
if you dont partake in the in refreshments you arent golfing
have to stay hydrated
It’s like 90-120 degrees
I hope to god in 10.2 they get rid of the facing the right way thing for evasion and they also get rid of parry
Yeah neither of those things are gonna happen 
let me dream
ok like i know the evasion thing is sticking around but like please no more parry

I originally made my WA for myself, i just shared it for whoever is also intrested
:o
is it always worth spending blindside ambush vs mutilate at full energy?
like if you get a proc in your opener
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
^this
Is the aoe shiv talent crap for M+? Like, aoe shiv + carnage sounds good on paper, but is it viable at all?
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)
yap
maybe some dumb rbg shenanigans where you jump into the 10 people in arena and do aoe
Some green name please complain to realz about our shit distribution of st and aoe talents
but like who does that as a rogue
same, just gimme KB back and remove AP

whispyr is good at it, seeing how he wrote more text for his sepsis explanation than i ever did in highschool
I am what I am 🐇
I was in the middle of raid reading that yesterday, and it just kept on going
seeing my all star points ranking makes me feel like a better rogue than i am cuz everyone is playing sub
i get to be top 100 in something
but its actually freaking good, like its 1 singel ability and he can talk so much about it and it all makes sense
thats kinda insane tho
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
I mean also exsang deadge so I mean that's also a huge improvement over s1
I lowkey don't know how in depth people want me to go sometimes with stuff
i liked it
like I added this whole shit
to the sepsis guide
which is basically the faq stuff
ah wait there is a wowhead part?
and then I had a dm telling me to kms for trying to make an easy spec like assassination complicated

i also dont, unless its your theorycrafting 
also nobody told them to read it
its for minmaxing, if you are not interested then dont read
people are dumb smh
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
Tbh I ended up liking exsang in ST
but only because it did dmg
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
I really enjoyed Sepsis + Exsanguinate combo, but it's a very typical case of stacking cds which is fun
then it's kinda not good
Having a 25s, 90s and 120s cds on stuff can be a bit weirdge
ye thats also true, its hard to find the middleground. Where you kinda explain everything about it, but also keep it short so people actually read it
I liked having to think about when I use which CD depending on boss timer and so on
probably giving a short tldr and linking to a long explanation is the best solution
Which Exsang made you do more, but the actual spell is rough
that's been my approach with sepsis and it seemed to go well
Yeah that's why I added the small bolded topics in each of the paragraphs so people can easily see what their looking for in a few seconds.
but it's a never ending struggle
Formatting is super duper important
well ye, no matter what you do there will always be complaints
It's true
and it's a matter of which downside you think matters the least
The biggest downside is Discord itself
The pin thingy is too small so even a short paragraph looks like it's 10 sentences long
delete discord, go back to msn
I used to be the biggest forum enjoyer back in 2000-whatever
Used to make some sick forum signatures in Photoshop
delete wowhead, if you want info, buy whispyrs 200 page book about assa rogue

also make sure you are subscribed to him so you get the newest papers every patch sent to your address
Same
Okay grandpa let’s get you back inside


I also think that as new generations come into the internet, they’re getting more and more used to short form content. So the attention span is less and less
That’s 90 online pal
Same
i wont live to see rogue rework
Welcome to the club 
no age shaming
Tough luck buddy
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
Little did you know, if you did the Sepsis trick, it was one of the highest bursts in the game
2.5s Sepsis
wait what
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
i missed out on a lot of fun, feck
Was pretty much only good for PvP and Sludgefist lol
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
You would never play Night Fae in M+ though
dont you dare challenge a casual player
i played everything back in S3
because i didnt know about sims yet
or minmaxing
or whatnot
What a beautiful sight
and i had a lot of fun
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

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
We love new players
Game would be deadge and boring if it was nothing but super tryhards
like me
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
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
I stopped raiding and I've killed the 3 first bosses in pugs twice. You can do it, just go slam it with pugs
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
eeeh cant be bothered, might do it if i get bored enough tho
Yeah but for a lot of people putting too much focus and effort on doing everything absolutely perfectly like a robot, results in them playing the mechanics worse or inting the progression because they don't pay attention to what's important
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
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
Yeah our definitions of "minmaxing the absolute shit out of a spec and doing the absolute best rotation" is a bit different as well
well ye minmaxing currently for me is 95+
back then i was happy with 70 as a raidlead
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.
thats why i only hc raid, cause i can get my 95 even with bad rng and no bacon
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

get owned noob
That shit was killing me on broodkeeper
My first ever, when random people logged my pugs
Pfft dh player
beacon crits on subtelty 
At leats with legion poison bomb i could blame it on something on tbe spot
Hey now, that's showing 1-4 kills per boss
Your Median average is still grey

love the 125k to 155k diff on sark p1 end
oh
Yeah Legion was the worst.
didnt even realise
fuck
But I did get AOTC, so maybe I was blasting on the other bosses, surely
Easy
Atleast i started with assa, unlike mr assa one trick dh player
If I played sin then I would legit get 1% parses
Bro I barely speaked english then
chill
😦
Wait I have even better logs
I had a purple average on my first ever tier, but that's was in Legion when it was all tied behind Poison Bomb procs. Could have been dogshit at the game and still parse well
First time doing mythic
Fair enough
I was paniced
"Assassination one trick" man comes up with havoc dh and fire mage logs
Thats what i would call player controlled dmg
Wasn't even me who gave me this name
Whispyr did it for memes because my color and icon
But for as long as I have played mythic "well" I have been sin
Or I guess I started as healer for first mythic tier where I didn't suck, but doesn't count
Oh true, all 3 specs in 1
Whispyr can rename you to assa onetrick, and i cabt even get bonespike icon
Smh
Skill issued
What build we using for Echo? Do we take CT?
Usual ST build im gonna assume
There aint enough aoe in this raid to consider losing ST dmg
Poisonn bomb wiill provide you enough value for what sin has to offer for 20 seconds of aoe
word, thanks!
As I see it, if I play sin it's because I want boss dmg only
Council was actually pretty fun with sin tho
Played council with bacon and puzzlebox
It was a shitshow
I loved it
I HAVE BONESPIKE
Best day ever

Not bacon, i mean boon
I was confused
Boon puzzle on council was fun

But I made it out to be boon
True dat, but i love me my bonespike
Sad its not played in m+
So now there are 3 Bone Spike havers??
Bonespike is such nice for energy too
But after playing it all season 1, sepsis is really nice
I enjoy bonespike a bit more personally
If I had to only pick one to play for 20 season I would pick bonespike too
If i could pick one legendary from SL it would be deathspike
But since this is the only change from last season, I am liking it
Played deathspike assa and outlaw in keys
I couldnt find bonespike to fit into sub so never played that
But all the other legos was kinda boring too no?
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.
Well ye i cant remember any other legendaries really besides the covenant ones
When I do M+ and have to take IC and dtb that keybind simply goes unused.
0 for me, since its a hungarian keyboard so 0 is just left of 1
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
ew
2nd row is shift modifier
So it messes with my head if any spec doesnt have a covenant abilty
c4 is tricks
Step on F gang
fr
You’re right, I should switch over to YUIO for spammy stuff
all movement on f and shift+f unless it's movement speed lke sprint then its MB4+shift
Bro you just messed with my head so hard, y and z are swapped on hungarian keyboard so y is bottom left
I don't like mouse buttons
Makes it even better 
My mouse has two side buttons and they're autorun/target boss1
Me neither I use it for autowalk, mounts and things like stealth/shapeshift or weird portals like monk and warlocks
and as I said sprint and hunters sprint thingy too
I have archeology/fishing, autorun and mount on mouse
based
Only non fight button i have bound is ctrl middle mouse for favourite mount
most important macro in the game
Also pickpocket on 3 in stealth
I also have blindside macroed into my mutilate with alt modifier
Dont have anymore keybinds man
What to do with new ping button
My ambush is on q
I always have spender on q
Forget it exists, turn pings off
So if i wanna ambush out of stealth i gotta press q, cause no stealth bar for me
My ambush used to be on Q but now gouge is Q
GOUGE IS Q???
Gouge is Q
I be gougin
Actually illegal
Q is Shadowstep for me
Shift q is sap
NAH
Buuut i dont raid
See everyone says mine are weird. Mine are optimal
Where do you guys keep kick?
R
Correct answer was F
x
For “Fuck your cast”
Prime spot, but not too prime
Nuhuh step is F and covenant button X
step defo f
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
I have vendetta on B and cloak on Y, those are weird right
f4 is my covenant ;3
yea u weird
I might end up getting back to using X
We can all agree that taunt goes on “T” for applicable classes, right?
No that goes on Z because tricks is Z
ER is not a covenant though, i've never played it in sl
My fingers dont go further than V F R and 5
And they're both threat buttons

Wait Varas
waiting
Cooldowns go on z
I think my farthest is H but that's just stealth
Are you the one that uses 1-0 + the modifiers for those
Someone in here does it
fucking disgusting
1-5 only
5 for me. Depending on class either a taunt or a threat drop (feign, fade, vanish, etc)
ctrl+V unless they have too many buttons then ctrl+3
same
`-6, Q-Y, A-H, Z-B
so my lateral mouse buttons are a big defensive and an ability to tag mobs from afar, and on some classes i have taunt on there
lets just say i've taunted some things when i shouldnt've
Huh
I have stealth on Q (for english keyboards) 
My ` is besides enter
Nuhuh that's '
my tab is stealth and my ` is tab targeting
so uh, cya losers
~
thats besides enter too
Stealth on F1
Ur weird
½ this is what I have left off 1
Hate that for you varas
Nordic keyboard
sucks to suck
½ = self target
It sure does pal
Kinda waste, might make that my ping button tbh
Bruh endwyr roasting is wild to see 
im mr. smart
why all dungeon trinks dog this season
t is for taunt and tricks
I miss vita shard + plumage
One thing give me haste, one thing make me vendetta more bigly
T is for teleport item thingy for lock portal
shift g

wack
Lock gate shift S
5
Bro can't let go
Deathmark 
Shift G is smoke bomb so I can gaze at it longingly
I don't even have bind for smoke bomb, I just switch my pot keybinds if I do pvp
I remember when they were making talent trees
and people were coping that we would get smoke bomb as a raid cd
it's a good idea
yea
Give us smoke bomb but it gives evasion if you're in it
but instead we just got flat 3% that doesn't apply to environmental
Btw do you know Shnaxx, Endwyr? He dipped from our guild after SoD
Only reason I'm in on sark though so I'm not complaining
These kids running around assuming genders smh my head
I personally blame quake for calling you a he
That one time
Not really, we weren't on same team in Nascent
Bro?
It's true I was there
I’ll never make that mistake again man wtf.
Don’t hate the player hate the game 
I play the stats game, and lost 😦
I even pinged 
no, hate the player aswell
And apologized
Gonna hate (kiss) you so hard if you sass me again papi
You’re good people
He sent that before he saw the thing 
He is mine back off
1v1 me irl egg boy

Square up then
I got a dozen with your name on it
imagine if you couls flirt like that irl

This is awkward when I do tell quake I’m %teamstealthi ?
All the green names pulled up 
Bro im literally engaged and played organized sports for over a decade

It’s joever
Shit spec idk
Amen brethren
See you again into 10.2 maybe?
10.2 ™️
Play 6s dance, the anxiety will fix your sleepiness
Endwyr a real one for that
Lets not pretend assa is engaging to play
Black powder killed my family
lets not pretend sub/outlaw are engaging to play aswell
These mfers spent 4 hours explaining to Realz how IC makes sin aoe pointless and are pretending now that it’s more engaging than sub

Ic killed my family wtf
