Sub single target is just jacked up for my brain or whatever
@blazing jewel 
Are all your gems crit/mast?
perma sim gems
crit vers

I cba regemming
or recrafting
if I'mma minmax I'll just play sub
my sub sims 5k higher than my sin
lmao
Mine are within 300 lol
if I can get nick of time next week + sark dagger
I can play assassination and not care
cause then it's within 2kish dps
and I can stomach that
because sub don't make no damn sense man
esp 6s dance sub
I just cannot wrap my hand around sub outside of making big secret tech
I think you could pick it up quicker than you think
but if you're enjoying assassination fuck it
play assa
it feels really clunky
I've always been an assassin main when playing rogue
bro I finished on 3cp too many times
but like I do 0 damage on sub in raid (fine in keys)
ya
6 second dance is for sure wack
youre meant to do that
if stealthi didn't say it to me

I wouldn't have believed it

Absolutely juiced gear
OCE guild incoming
that's legit like making someone in germany play with the korean servers

ok can someone help me with some log review? im naeori https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/CPyThn3dmxRQLkJK/#fight=last&type=summary&source=467
with our 4 set do we fish for poison bombs after death mark expires on aoe?

Yeah we have WoWA right now
They’re not
Highly recommend running that through wowa
If you need help beyond that
I can make a thread
But I’m
0 brain cells
So it may be morning before you get a response
I just want to know if i should use envenom in aoe if i have the 4pc buff
this other rogues damage breakdown is very different from mine
What Guffin said is correct. But also don’t forget your 2p makes CT also deal nature damage so it also gets a boost.
So really nothing changes. If everything is tightly stacked and not moving, fishing for poison bomb procs is fine. I’d you’re chain pulling and constantly moving, Ct is more reliable dam
Oh that’s a dungeon review

I've never used wow analyzer but it would seem post stepsis im very bad at vanishing xd
ok so question since deathmark doubles ddots i use it then vanish and reapply garrote and rupture since 2pc makes rupture deal extra nature damage do i then reapply rupture with the 4pc buff?
No
does a new rupture overwrite the double rupture from deathmark?
oh previous dots too?
Yes
Sepsis not added
Have to use some brain for that one
Vanish will look worse
point was that i stopped vanishing as much
post sepsis existing
does feel like idk good windows unless like p3 transition on sark after gate to multi dot ads
And there was one other thing that was funky
my sark kill
it would seem i didn't click vanish until P3 gate
XD
im sure there is but im giga tired as well
ive never really looked into what i can fix
just kinda stabbed things
i've been teaing for mastery for too long
it was ok early to do that in kingsbane
but so much worse not ig
i was def playing worse since we were over time as well so ig not fully indicitive but it does show how bad my tea has been
ive been teaing in DM opener for mastery
Teaing in opener is 
Gets it on cd, and if you lust on pull you’d hold for almost a minute before you ran out of energy anyway
oic
It’s later in the fight when you tea at full energy that’s pretty rough
Eh like I said
Addressing the stuff and playing better is long term and rekill stuff
Boss deadge is boss deadge

yo how does death mark work exactly
if i have garrote and rupture already on is that ok?
or do i need to apply it after using deathmark
Whatever you already have on the target gets copied. Whatever you apply during deathmark gets copied. When deathmark ends, copies disappear
Nah, exsanguinate is currently working weird and not worth talenting into
oh
best bug ever
Opener pictures in FAQ might still show it just as a “if you really want to use it - here’s where you do it”
f u
could have been good on sark 
it "should" have snapshotted haste
So what’s the problem with it right now?
There is no problem with exsang, its just how it should be, nonexistent
doesnt copy dots correctly
dead
shoulda listened to papa shmeeps in sesaon 1
i felt it in my plums
and I was right all along

Duplicates of DoTs keep the duration reduction but not the increased tick rate
So you’re kind of getting 1.5 DoTs instead of 2
What’s the rule of thumb with shiv charges?
don't let them cap
have a charge or two for deathmark
have one for any sepsis garrote in between deathmarks
normally pretty safe to just dump 2 in your opener
then keep one in the chamber until your next deathmark
then dump two
repeat
try to dump the rest at the end of the fight
prio 1: never cap shiv charges
prio 2: shiv with deathmark
prio 3: shiv with sepsis/garrote
prio 4: don't end boss with charges
Okay thank you
^
Is it really as bad as people say?
No
May I ask a couple of Mythic+ questions?
- In a large pull, I see in the FAQ it says to use Crimson Tempest to spend points (6+). Under that, to use Envenom. I just wondered why on Envenom because I rarely get the Poison Bomb?
- How should I best be using Thistle Tea? I find if I don't go into a boss with 2, I'm energy starved. During pack pulls should I avoid using them?
They will find out eventually
Most specs are pretty balanced right now
It’s mostly the outliers at the top
Like the 4-5 op
Rest are fairly close
I’m struggling with my tea as well.
1 it would be if your poison bomb can hit everything and if you’re in tier set bonus
Poison bomb aoe is tiny so it’s hard to get full value in a large pull
In st or m+
M+
I have 4 set. If they are super tightly grouped, use envenom for bomb and hope it procs?
Id wait for one of the 3 people in here that play it in keys lol idk
I meant 4 set as in the bonus damage after dm runs out
And yea just pray for bomb procs
What about tea's? You think worth avoiding using on run up to bosses?
From mr man himself
you can always use atleast 1 so you dont overcap on tea charges. But personally i never have energy problems in aoe pulls, since rupture gives you enough energy
- addendum to my words above, but if you're not pulling big, it's probably because there's something that's important and needs to die so you don't really want to sit there and CT spam. On top of that, envenom is always the same damage, regardless of the targets, and CT is not. CT on 2 targets is 2x the damage of single target CT. Envenom on 2 targets is still Envenom. So you're just doing more damage with envenom at a certain point in cleave. You always want to maintain the dot on CT though
- if you're going to over-cap on charges in aoe you can send it with your carnage dots for a bit extra damage, but generally it's just a "if I need energy I drink" situation. If you're starving on bosses in m+ that's because the spec is slow, not because you're playing wrong
there's 3 trees in the faq, one is a single target sepsis, the other is m+ AP/IC which has the note that it's generally not recommended because the dogshit single target, and the last is m+ DTB/IC which is the recommended
Annoying bits in M+ for Sin sorted by Ion personally in 10.1.7 
10.2
fuck
10.1.7 wont bring anything new anyways, atleast content wise
so doesnt matter that we wont get the rework there
yeh the most issues you'd have is like
changes at the season/raid start
and then just mad scramble tuning to try and iron it out
but that's no big deal tbh
if that happens i can have an excuse that my spec just got reworked and i still didnt master all them talents
easy excuse for bad logs
I doubt Assassination is going to change to an extent where you just don’t know what you’re doing anymore
It’s not a Paladin rework or anything
probably not, but that wont stop me from saying it as an excuse to anyone who has no idea about rogue
True
but ye knowing you, there will be top sims and openers/playstyles already the day the patchnotes hit
and since im an EU player, i will have 1 day to look at the NA rogues play
Quartz Annulet 
i dont wanna farm another annulet
just so it stays BiS until another .5 patch comes out
L take

plays a fantasy game
complains about dragons
you also say Vanilla is the best icecream flavor eh?
Fantasy can be different

The evokers are the most soy looking dragons they could ever come up with though
Gimme some alexstrasza mommy dragons on god
dont have a favourite ice
Glorified worgen moment
gimme this and im fine with dragoons

Fair enough, worgens can at least wear transmog in their beast form
And then you watch dragons take visages from pretty much any race, your time comes - and it’s just 2 types of elf
litearlly normal armor options is all they need, i really dont fucking know why they refuse to do it
"clipping would be bad"
YEHA BECAUSE WOW HAS NO CLIPPING ON EVERY RACE THAT IS NOT MALE HUMAN RIGHT???
every elf/vulpera has their ears poking out of head pieces, all the hunch strechting on troll/orc/undead/tauren/worgen, dwarfs have their beards poking trought their helmets and chest pieces
but suddenly clipping would be a problem THERE right? 
like hell
belf/worgen/tauren/dwarf heritage armor has clipping
armor made for that 1race alone
because its the new sexxy dragoon and it shouldnt have any flaws
also i dislike dragoons the same reason i dislike druids, shitty mogs
the current druid tier set looks so nice though imo
that you never see because you are in an animal form
just cycle mirror, orb of deception, and orb of the sindorei ez value
I can't seem to find any paracausal item strings anywhere to import into muh sim or are they not ready for simming yet?
So trinks are poopy then, all 5? 👀
yep
Fucking kek. Soy looking dragons
That's really tickled me
saying soy looking as an insult it 2023 is a bit cringe, ngl 
soy milk pretty good
better than oat
oat's too chunky
i use almond
y'all complain when a race is not 90% armmuscle like orc
and then play female belf anyway

I just wanna play a white human male called Malcolm
or human
man, atleast people that play human to pretend they are Special
its funny tbh, people play a fantasy game
you can be a talking cow, a furry, a toaster, a panda, a dragon that looks like a imp
and everyone is playing the most human-like races
atleast wow humans are interesting
cus they have an actual culture/cool background
and not the "HUMANS ARE THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND A YOUNG RACE!!!!" that 99% of fantasy does, and thats it
the "generic as hell" trophy is belf
tbh blizz is also sleeping on races
give me the snake people
let me play the tuskarr

i wanna be a murloc rogue
not having sneks is pretty criminal
after the alliance quests in voldun
naga, or the fish people in nazjatar
ayooooo
hozen would be so lit
i'd be ookin so many dookers
or harpies
harpy would be lit
sneaky snake rogue man
let me play a Nymphs/centaur
Ogre?!
why tf no ogre
we could play them in wc2 ffs
and instead they gave us fuckin fat humans and robo gnomes

my point is, we have a lot of interessting non human races in the game
that we can't play
and crispy dwarves
while we have many re-skins of elf or humans

Gimme gnoll
Cant give you something i dont own lol
hey guys, quick question - I've seen a vid of a Sin who did CT over ENV in big pulls even though CT dot was already on mobs - can anyone explain why? Does CT do more dmg than ENV?
is that a serious answer? 😄
oh .. ok
when CT is running, pressing enveom for poisonbomb proc fishing or CT for instant dmg? doesnt matter
okey mokey, thank you
murloc gaming, where is my murloc race
just take vulpera, take off their fur, make them a bit more cute, and you got murlocs
gnomes?

i said cuter and less fur
not more fur and ugly
xD
aight wait i confused gnomes with dwarves, forgot gnomes exist
we all wish we could forget gnomes
🍌
It’s roughly average
I don’t. 210 max energy is fun for unknown reasons
As long as things are grouped, and they have ct your finisher doesn’t matter between ct and envenom
all of my alts are gnomes
except for my gaggle of rogues
I’ll make you gaggle my rogue
If ya know what I’m saying



@quiet oar go help that person in sub
i've run out of ideas and i'm not a good resource

Morning guys!
time to go goblin mode
its almost sleepy time here, what mornin
Its always sleepy time technically
Especially if you're a parent
We killed Zsakarn and Mag this week... Nelth prog starts Sunday
i have a dog, does that count?
Ive been playing really really bad though
The stealth animation >>>
Best in the game
Spot the Outlaw 
I like this 🤣
for a second i was scared why there where 300+ messages when i looked here
then i realised that i was in sub channel at first
phew
@spice spire complain 


I loved kingsbane in legion

Exsanguibane - Your bleeds tick 200% faster, and every time you apply a bleed, they increase their damage.
Idk it be a shame if they got rid of it or just left it to rot

Shadow dance garrote spam?
what would happen if they removed DTB, would we have more build options or would it just end up with same pathing but now KB instead of DTB
Vanish into shadow dance into sepsis 
Better : Your bleeds tick 100% faster, +50% faster each time reapplied, until they fall off
Yeah, juggling accelerates
Execute AF
guess who got less than 4 hours of sleep for the 8th day in a row again and is ready to be problematic?
get some sleep
i cant, theres dota to watch
it was an accident ok
Accidentally stabbed someone or accidentally told us you stabbed someone?
That’ll put you to sleep
DotA games have been kinda sick the past couple days
i used to do fencing in high school and usually the tips are blunted and wrapped in wire things (so the machine can detect a hit and they dont hurt anyone). sometimes there are accidents where the swords break, and those breaks can be sharp. So I was stabbing and they hit my sword to deflect it, but my sword broke and I stabbed them.
sounds like a very convenient excuse for murdering someone
Explains why you play a rogue though. Stabby stab stab stab
That and he’s unhinged
you know now that i think about it

i used to play paladin before that happened
Then you stabbed someone and were like hey that feels pretty cool
I got a blunt tip for ya
Never roll it too tight... It'll become impossible to smoke after the halfway point
anyway, Nelth prog is pretty mind numbing despite it being a pretty great fight IMO
just progging the end of p3 but the pull feels so long before getting there
We start Nelth prog Sunday 
Killed Zsak and Mag this week though which was really nice... Feel like nelth gonna be a long drawn out ride
literally just waiting on ranged and healers to figure it out
Feint simulator also
Are you guys using the overlay WA?
yup
Its a pretty good boss in theory, but you pretty do nothing as melee so youre just waiting for your other members to figure it out
Which feels bad
So its an easy fight for melee?
easier yes
I gotta do some homework tomorrow to get myself up to speed
Melee always go to the same spot, ranged can get different spots
and our defensive kit is fantastic for it which feels fun to weave in actually
So they have to pay a lot more attention and its easier to fuck up
Feint on CD essentially?
Evasion op
@spice surge got any vods of your nelth kill?
Interesting
You want to feint every big aie
Aoe
This will safe your life
When you bomb and have a dot
No, and we havent rekilled it since because of roster issues during summer so it would be before they changed the size of the circles anyway
Hope your healer like you
everytime you run away from big scary fire in p1 you just feint and crimson vial and nothing happens to you
And our tactics were pretty dumb compared to what people are doing now anyway 
Cool good to know
I cloak the 1:30 sepsis for uptime, usually the first p2 gate moment, and then second portals in p3
evasion on cd
^
True
and then also just enjoy poison bombing your friends
LOL
True teue
bro i'd get gkicked if i did that
bro our ice mage is on sight
next time he's in for nelth
he glacial spiked me for 300k
you literally have to its our only spender lmao
and froze me in 3 hearts
And give them. A kidney drive by
Prob gonna run Sub for prog
then enjoy secteching your melee and murdering them
fosh. sin is great though

ooof so theyre fucked either way eh?
@gusty mirage I catched a stray steel trap our hunter missed like 20s before he got mced 
Man I'm never going to forget our DH death sweep crit or something and killed 3 melee
granted I'm getting Aug buffs so I'm flying high
Standing rooted in volcanic hearts 4fun
Like legit rogue cheat death and 2 corpses
yeah it's a blast
I was running to the add
and I got frozen
and I just died to hearts
lmao
on the real though the clean pulls are awesome. very cinematic encounter
Nelth is actually fun now that our WAs aren't breaking every pull
@gusty mirage you progged nelth as sin?
yes
you only play sub to pad in p3
because you just get fucked
you hold in p1
you can't do damage in p2
because th eboss goes immune
at this point you just play what you want
think i did 147.7k without black powder as sub
not worried about the dmg as much
Hi sin chat
around 100
Ah ok
We took about 75 pulls for zsakarn tho
So I imagine we’ll take a while on this
Bro my WA wasn’t working properly on mag so I was never soaking and I legit got reamed so hard last night by the officers
Soaking small circles I mean
Because the wa wasn’t telling me to
that's not good lol
we had one that just put a repeating say message over the heads of the group when it was their turn
made it super easy to see
Yeah once I fixed the wa I had that also so I was fine then
But they were pissed it took 9 wipes for me to notice
Understandably so
yeah that's a tough one
he's a dirty outlaw enjoyer
don't tell him that
Outlaw the best spec tho
another question: icy veins say that about trinkets ->
- Dragonfire Bomb Dispenser
- Neltharion's Call to Suffering
- Beacon to the Beyond
- Irideus Fragment
- Ominous Chromatic Essence
though bloodmallet says:
- DFBD
- essence
- neltharions
what can I trust? 😄
you trust your sim
i knew that answer would come ^^

Dice enthusiasts arise
I got 447 dice week 2 vault so I’m with you
My guilds wowhead feed faked me out. I was super pumped for half a second before I fully read read it…
Skill issue tbh
Trust your bot
i can give you a better one, number 4 is a lie
Still rocking bomb+matrix
Except this oene

also bacon and bomb together you gotta remember, 2 on use trinkets. Neltharion and bacon are like "did you get bacon crit? juicy" "did echo trinket proc during DM? juicy"
Don't do high level keys. Just now busting into hero raid
I'm slow OK
makes sense at least
All right boys, gf and I hit 2100. 400 rating to go before we hit the next achievement, right?
What's the easiest mythic to help pad our score?
(Also probably doing Uldamann at a key higher than +12 would help)
for me personally, freehold/brackenhide/underrot
I think Brackenhide we have a timed 18 and Freehold we have a not-timed 18, so Freehold might be the one to tackle
Freehold also has the best music by far
So that counts for something
Doesn't everybody? (Jk actually she plays with the music off and I find it personally offensive)
my last uldaman was 2 months ago 
I remember asking her, "OMG do you hear this pirate music?" And she deadpan stares me and is just like "uh no I'm listening to Backstreet Boys"
well ey atleast she is playing with you, cant have everything in one package
also i heard neltharions lair is supposed to be kinda free too nowadays?
not sure if thats correct
fellow no music enjoyer

Which one is the chains one, NL or Neltharian?
Also
Way to go Blizzard for having two dungeons named almost the exact same thing in the same season
Imagine being a new M+ enjoyer and starting out this season flying to the wrong dungeon
been there, done that 
Yeah we def already have a +18 Neltharus timed
what about nl?
I think that's high enough for 2500
I think NL we have a 17 timed
So maybe we'll try an 18 NL, an 18 Freehold, and obviously we have to get our 12 Uldamann up lmao
for comparison, these are my keys and i have 2618 points with this, so 18s on both week should probably be enough
It is an achievement reward. In the Other Consumables category. An item from World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date with the latest patch.
this thingy
some transmog shenanigans that i still have no idea what actually changes
Makes your shoulders Smokey
thats all?
Yeah. And it’s annoying depending on your mounted camera angle lol
When you go to your appearances it’ll have 2 for each of this tier and one is smoky and the other isn’t
so it really is only shoulders
like last tier
i was so sure both times that there must be something else
no wonder i didnt find anything
Last tier was shoulders and head
xD
This tier is just shoulders
Some electricity effects
well there ya go, you get smoke on your shoulders
"as a reward, you get lung cancer, enjoy"
you know what's pretty neat
when sophic procs and you immediately have to run away from Nelth in p1 for 10 seconds
when that happens I go "neato!"
@keen spruce can Tell you Tales about sophic devotion proccing
But you track this buffs?
Wtf 😳
Where is the 60% one
Illegal
Unethical gameplay
Do you run with a lock evoker or dk?
Yeah unethical pal
But yeah this is insane
Exsanguinate: Love? Hate? (can say why if u want but dont have to)
I like that it makes me think more about CD's for example. But I hate that it makes you double up on garrote and rupture outside of pandemic window to use it optimally. It doesn't feel right to do
yeah that part is super unintuitive. Though I wonder how many like the clever min-max
Dislike, the idea of bleeds speeding up is actually pretty appealing, but the reality is sort of a clunky mess. Setting up before a button is sort of a cool idea, but it forces us to double cast multiple bleeds which is super awkward, especially since they don't do much up front damage. It almost feels like a waste imo. I think the 9.2 tier set was slightly better since it placed the refreshes in a window rather than a single instance of reduction. Tho tbh that also promoted a lot of other weird shit with snapshotting and ct
I think a different offering would be my choice, or a different way of speeding up bleeds :p
This isn't really directly exsang I guess, but I will say that now we don't play with exsang because it is bugged, sitting on vanish for 2 minutes until 2nd deathmark feels much worse to me, than having to press the double ruptures and garrotes for exsang ever did.
Yeah not a huge fan of sepsis either but its sort of whatever
tbh if it wasn't for sepsis right now, the spec would feel empty without exsang too imo
just smack everything on cd
I think the concept of speeding up your bleeds feels cool but theres something odd about it making the bleeds shorter overall. Like when you vanish garrote only to make them shorter? Not to mention being able to grief your deathmark and make it shorter
Yea a lot of people been here confused why its bad to exsang deathmark, not that clear
But in previous expansions (namely bfa) when garrote did a bootloads of damage it did feel cool to press exsang and have a "let it rip" feeling imo
Big number good 🥱
^
This is giga guess, but I am guessing exsang also makes it harder to balance us, since you would suddenly have giga omega burst if the bleeds were buffed a little bit
I think having the bleeds tick faster without actually reducing the duration would remove a lot of the jank, but it would also significantly buff it so 
make it 6 min cd 
tbh exsang aint the worst thing in the world for raid, but it being good enough (when not bugged) to take in m+ is rough
fan of snapshotting in general, none bugged, none 3 min version of exang would be great, interaction with DM kinda rough
More like I prefer to speed up the bleeds for damage rather than getting faster energy regen for more poison applications (even though it obv does both)
Snapshotting is interesting to me too, never got to play when everything was more or less snapshot afaik
I personally enjoyed exsang, outside of the bugs of course. The setup that goes with it felt good, heck I felt goos about doing it and didnt know why dmg went down. I think it'd be good if rogue doesnt go too much into the snapshot part with it being a huge part of Feral for example, but by itself I think exsang is conceptually fine
The more things you have to think about that isn't super obvious the more I like the spec tbh, but probably not what most think
Altho with the way it deals more dmg but forces to reapply more dots, it ends up turning to a numbers question to know if itd be better to exsang and apply more vs just apply and use normal spenders
I think exsang feels good to pull off well but setting it up is wack especially mid fight. Opener is kinda whatever. Also if you mess it up at all it feels terrible. Feels like a very min-max talent that I avoid during prog and then try to work in to parse
Worst thing about exsang is definitely "noob trap". If I didn't look at guides I wouldn't intuitively double rup and garrote
And as said earlier many have come in here confused why exsanging DM is bad
TBH I had no idea using Exsang during DM was a terrible thing until someone explained it to me
eeehhhh, honestly that just means you never looked at dm tbh
Planning to return to Sin for this season in M+, Exsang seems like a weird talent
Still so many confused by it tho
its not that you want the spec to go too deep into snapshot, but its nice to have skill expression - kingsbane, exang, and currently sepsis build all have small bits of "if you dont do this correct you lose dmg", which is nice when the spec is otherwise refresh bleeds and envenom
this is why my personal fave build for sin in recent memory was 1 min vendetta with overhang, flag.
wahtever happens with exang would be nice to see something that is not overly complciated but supports "if you play this well, you will be rewarded"
Man kingsbane was the good times
Its more so I didnt connect the dots that DM was a bleed and would fall under Exsang, admittedly, bad on my part
I like it. I don't like it tied to vanish as it has been in the past.
awkward cd alignment

My experience with Exsanguinate has been in pvp, I cant imagine having to use it in a PVE environment
what can you not imagine?
The awkward cd alignment
you just figured out what CD/trinket it was worth slamming with and prepping for that
just not necessarily intuitive
Fun in pvp because it makes enemy go boom
Yes, very fun with the insane amount of burst it can get in pvp
I havent used it in a pve environment much (yet)
imo the talent has a multitude of problems
the idea is fine, "speed bleeds up so you do dmg faster" sounds cool on paper, the problems comes with the gameplay implications it brings, so that you set up stronger bleeds just to let them run out faster and set up again (espacily bad with 45sec exsang, the gameplay just feelt like as if you where just constantly setting bleeds up->exsang->set up again->exsang the entire fight)
another problem is the weird CD alignment, 45 and 3min both never felt good tbh, 45 way to frequent but 3min had those weird "Hold the ability for 1min+ sometimes" moments
another problem is how unintuitive the ability actually is, exsang actually killing your major dmg CD is something most people dont realise, and its 1of the very few abilitys that actually HARMS you for using it slightly wrong, and then the other things like exsang snapshoting haste etc.... all just lead to an gameplay with the ability that doesnt feel good imo, while at the same time beeing an ability where you actually need a bigger amount of 3rd party information just to understand what its actually all doing/how it interacts with you
WALL OF TEXT WUHU
Wall of truth
I can vibe with that
Turn Exsanguinate into Vein Ripper from Torghast, only instead of it being triggered by vanish, it is its own cooldown. Otherwise, remove Exsanguinate. Like, build a time machine, travel back in time, and prevent it from ever happening so there is not a single reference or mention of the ability anywhere in the history of humankind.
xd
can we add the Shadowlands Covenant "talents" into that time machine?
I guess this is why we have this 
ER and Sepsis, sure.
and Augmentation
bring back flag
obediance flag was great wym
like IC
obidiance flag is flag but more stats
and cdr right/lower cd
idk what "feels better" there tbh
hot take, get rid of 1 sec gcd cap ;p
i think that goes SLIGHTLY over "update some rogue talents" tbh 
reading all, ty
considering haste is the crutch that gets used to make so many other spec feel "empowered"
idk if anything is going to make it feel like that on Assa (or rogue in general)
I don't dislike covenant abilities, they just should have been "rebranded" as the actual classes abilities
ye idk, i also think haste+energy classes is in a weird spot
leaving sark down realm and everyone is blasting except me and the ww buddy cus we do fuckall with haste is just weird when like 60% of "you do BIG DMG NOW" mechanics are haste based
Ye I definitely feel that the set on stone 1sec GCD is hindering the design a lot nowadays, lots of classes have CDs reduced and/or get a big benefit from haste procs/trinkets/bloodlust, and we kinda dont.
ER definitely the worst offender of not making any sense look wise

Most of the "you get a big boost from this boss" mechanics are haste-based, and rogue just never did anything with that outside of more melee swings. sick.
ER
are you excited for the rogue rework to make haste poggers, and then we all have no haste

Sepsis alright because I guess it's a poison and flag also fine imo
it's super apparent playing ret then swapping back to rogue. everything just feels the same on rogue.
Weirdly enough in the past, haste was still good, but rogue is now at a spot where all specs are already kinda gcd capped, so haste is no longer as valuable
I want Sin to be in a good spot for M+ so my friends wont roast me when I say I want to play it for M+ 
My machine is telling me haste is good right now
idk man, "eviscerate animation with a blue-white glow" is imo less weird then "you suddenly throw a spear made out of bone at the enemy" 
But ye idk. Just give me Vein Ripper and I'm a happy man.
M+ on bosses I feel like I starte quite a lot even going into it with 3x thistle Tea tbh
Bonespike is lit
Feels awful just waiting like im playing classic
Get a swingtimer
not the ability, the animation
and bonespike is not lit, Deathspike was :c
^
That's kinda the point. Having an Energy based class be GCD capped would be very very weird. Why even have Energy, at that point?
Honestly I like all the rogue covenant abilities gameplay wise
Bro I first timed sub in early mythic reclear the other day and wept tears... I was probably playing completely wrong and still got damage close to me playing assa (which I atleast THINK I know how to play)
kinda goes back to spec variants being able to basiaclly ignore it
I mean sub is just dance macabre and then 1-2-1-2
In st
insert the "actually sub is extremely hard because of the 2target bleed" copypasta
That old chestnut
That, and it opens the door to problems like removing a scaling agent from Assassination via Venomous Wounds. When youre already sitting at ~50apm on a 1sec GCD in st, getting infinite energy from VW on aoe isn't gonna drastically alter your gameplay feel and you won't be able to scale your AoE damage to much higher levels as a result.
Whereas going from pressing a button every 1.5sec to every 1.0 sec, is quite a significant increase in output already.
yea
plus it just typically feels better since the player notices it
idk how much it would actaully effect the other two specs, but I feel like having some actual tempo changes would be great with assa
sub wanting 0 haste just seems weird
ye i mena, the alternative for assa would be some kind of stance that you could activate that would slowly increase energy drain, but increase damage as well, so in an environment where you generate lots of energy, you can translate that into damage
btu thats a pretty massive thing obv
stance dancing assa. sign me up
Aintnoway
it reminds me a lot of the energy overcapping issues combat had in MoP, where the solution ended up being increasing sinsiter strike energy cost and damage. but that also hurt the people who werent in bis gear and already played a slow spec, which now became even slower (was atrocious for leveling for example)
yup
think overall outlaw has a solid solution with AR. increase max energy and lower GCd temporarily, but their resource overcapping is (or used to be) very cd based, ours isnt.
I'm assuming AR still on CD for outlaw, where something like that I would want to see lined up with other CDs. tea just filling in energy lows kinda meh
like ret has an auto attack ability, that I honeslty thought I was going to hate. I love it since I can actually focus on other things besides dps at times. doesnt exactly work for a class/spec that's only focus is DPS
I have to figure out why I take so much damage on Zskarn
big dots, shit on ground, ouchie
never touch a puddle
if you touch a puddle you're going to have a bad time until it wears off
there's a lotta unavoidable dots that go out too
just drink your juice
and prayge
high uptime = more leech
shadowstep the knockbacks unless traps are spawning under the boss
feint the blast waves ig

look at your logs and see what you’re taking dmg from
or post them and someone can tell you
Will do after raid I’ll post
Unstable Embers is crushing me, and can tell you that just off of details. But with like 5 melee shit is hard af to not take damage from unless I just stop dps sometimes
that’s just spreading out
5 melee is fine
it’s also not a hard dps check. staying alive more important than anything else
just got Echoing reprimand. how the hell does this abilty work
You press it and it generates combo points
One of your 5 (or 6) combo points will be lit animapowered
Let's say combo point #4 is animapowered
So if you get to 4 combo points and use a finisher at 4 combo points, it will use up the animacharge and deal damage as if it was a 7 combo point finisher instead of 4.
so what if 3 is charged and i have 4
Doesn't matter, you follow normal finisher rules
So you would finish at 5 or 6 with Deeper Stratagem, or 4 or 5 without.
You don't play around it at all
You just finish if you happen to land on it by rng
ah okay and its just use on cd all the time right
Yes
It doesn't
How long do y'all spending on training dummies?
i pretty much only use dummies if im trying a new build tbh
doesnt feel useful to me but maybe it is for others
when do i use sepsis? when i need to refresh garrote for first time?
On cooldown
I've spent probably over a hundred hours hitting a dummy
But yeah you do it for a few hours and then you're gucci and you take it to raid
even if it doesnt need refreshing?
yeah
so sepsis gives you 2 stealth ability uses right
first one can be used right away to refresh garrote
and then the 2nd one
you refresh as late as possible
yea but if i use on cd then i would use garrote from stealth then use spesis
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
and then you refresh it toward the end of the sepsis buff again
it's not perfectly efficient
but it results in more uptime on improved garrote
used to be a warlock talent then they caked it into the base game
for almost* all DoTs/HoT effects
okay cool thats simple then
If we are using fragment in raid / m+, do we just send in on cd and have it for every other deathmark, hold?
Gotcha i only do it when theres a talent change or Testing Weakauras
- You don't use fragment cause it's bad.
- If you insist, you hold for DM
Is there a trinket that's worth farming in m+?
dice
Not quite m+ but the mega dungeon stuff is kinda good too
Mirror/sandglass are both kinda okay
Whispyr, i have a favor to ask.
Can you bring up to the other admins splitting up wowhead's news hook to be only wow related in #wowheadnews ?
Cause it'a like 90% diablo right now
Notter got bamboozled by the Rogue changes for Diablo 4
Good point, let me see if I can fix that or if it’s a server owner type thing
Idk if I have webhook control
Is there a weak aura for the 4 set bonus after deathmark?
I've looked but can't seem to find one
Because you dont need it
It doesnt change anything on your playstyle so nobody tracks it
We don’t track
I don’t even remember what the tier does apart buff nature damage
is it just me or is vortex pinnacle the most miserable dungeon on the planet as this spec
all the pulls are so small
Agree
It's the most miserable dungeon.
this is so true
no matter the spec or class, its just shit
The first bridge mobs were designed by a sadist
Especially the first pull
Makes me want to snooze
when i have beacon and bomb when do i use them in the opener?
Beacon after rupture and then everything on cooldown
thanks
Sorry for the late ping but if you're using afenar's or any Class suite set with dynamic buff tracking you can duplicate an existing buff that's tracked and change the spell ID to the 4 set bonus
I made one a while ago if you wanna use it
https://wago.io/U_ROg96PJ
I color the icon green to symbolize it
guys, would u pref toxic embellishment on wrist or belt? Does it even matter?
I don’t see why it would
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
I did belt because I’ll never kill mythic sark
thanks guys
i did wrist because my wrist sucked ass
hi
The Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows trinket can you get this somewhere?
was looking at pins
you get it from the new mega dungeon
ah tx
good luck
Is the Mega dungeon out now? you need all 20s mythic level right?
mega dungeon is out now yeah
dont need any io rating/M+ completions to do it
its like South Eastish from Valdrakken
most of the group finders looks for it will probably ask for a minimum ilvl though
tx for note
Hey looking for some suggestions/help with build for Heroic Sark. Seems I need more cleave/ aoe dmg for glimmers
ya a guildie suggested that
sub gives up way less than assassination does
and does more up front damage
BUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARAJJiQASkkgkkEJkERSS0iQSJJkkEpFAAAA
this talent set for sub should be more than enough to cover your ST needs and aoe
Shmeepdk?
Shmeedhs?

he broke it like 20 minutes ago
he's at the fuckin emergency room
imagine playin soccer 30 min before raid
Shower?? To raid in wow?????
I clear my whole schedule raid day. Just sit in front of the computer until 5 minutes before. Then turn it on.
Does he play brew??
dw
in an hour or two he'll be back home
Otherwise he can probably handle not having access to pedal keybinds
they're not gonna do shit except put it in a brace and schedule him with a specialist
or just say they’re full and kick him out
Totally unrelated question: do you start the word “schedule” with a “sh” sound or a “sk”??
sk
sk
cuz i'm not from the uk
I'm not a filthy brit

I also don't pronounce bottle of water as BO'OH O WA'AH
good thing you dont need it to play wow
unless
he is a footpedal gamer
Szkhedule
Like Szkarn

mate
every raidtier
you have that 1 day where you are close to a kill, but then just spend 50% of the day wipining in p1
Dude that was us last raid. Made it to p3 for the first time on Nelth and then wiped in p1 for 2 hours.
this shit shoulda been dead last week
Oof
Yeah one of our tanks is going on holiday, reproging next week is going to be rough
Me neither
If you stab him he won't leave.
after years of playing rogue is learned that stabbing solves many problems
i need to stab my eyes
are these the poisons i use?
yerp
Ummm... does garrote no longer silence? I don't see the silence effect in the tool tip.
Thank you!

Woot got my bomb maker!@!!!!
its intersting though I would have thought Mirror and bombD would be best but its BombD and Sandglass according to sims
Yes
But beware of crippling
Half the times it hurts more than it helps
Why
Sometimes you want to move enemies quickly
Get them out of sanguine puddles or runes that buff them or group them up
Different bis for different characters
