slate crown
nocturne hawk
#

I giv creds sheeeee

outer cairn
#

you don't need to anymore

#

it does it automatically with blindside

jagged yoke
#

what do you mean? arent they still separate abilities?

slate crown
#

No

#

They did a fusion dance

keen spruce
#

when blindside procs, mutilate gets replaced by ambush

nocturne hawk
#

like weeks ago

keen spruce
#

i mean weeks ago on ptr yeah

#

today on live

outer cairn
#

yeah huge qol

rustic minnow
#

Does sin have any bugged talents like sub atm?

outer cairn
#

ambush does apply the debuff for caustic spatter now though right?

keen spruce
#

i believe that was fixed yeah

honest vessel
#

can't wait til they make it so pressing mut with full cp envenoms instead c:

outer cairn
#

ok. tooltip doesn't reflect it so wasn't sure

novel arrow
#

Guys do we have to cap the vault this week or no?

balmy condor
#

no

#

this week is a season 2 vault

arctic hare
#

!whispyr

#

nope, didn't work lmao

#

trying to find an updated weakaura to use

outer cairn
#

also looks like we just do the quick open now

runic hinge
prisma monolithBOT
arctic hare
#

oh, those are ALL updated? damn.

jagged yoke
#

can we macro shadowdance and kingsbane?

dark token
#

Yes

#

You may want a separate bind for dance for m+ usage tho

jagged yoke
#

would m+ kinda just use kingsbane on cd tho?

outer cairn
#

i do keep trying to hit my old keybind for ambush with bs procs

sweet dawn
arctic hare
#

he was talking about SD

sweet dawn
#

My b dawg

#

I'm tired

#

And... Can't read?

dark token
arctic hare
#

How do I import Whispyr's plater profile?

torn atlas
#

am i missing something here? dont improved garrote and subterfuge conflict with each other?

dark token
#

Subterfuge let's you get some ambushes as builders especially in the opener

torn atlas
#

okay cheers

storm forum
#

ok so

#

spatter owns

runic hinge
#

You own

storm forum
#

thin portal
#

does Zolyck and Sudden Demise stack?

#

kind of hard to talent them both tho

#

both 35% damage boosters 😮

#

i mena

#

they both boost damage, not 35% each lol.

dark token
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

I mean sudden demise doesn't really "boost damage"

#

it's by definition inefficient

thin portal
#

Sudden Demise looked lack luster in the description yeah

balmy condor
#

but it takes zoldyck into account when it's doing damage

#

sudden demise is not lackluster in the slightest

#

shit is crazy strong

thin portal
#

thats why im testing it 😮

dark token
#

In addition to execute

balmy condor
#

what

#

it's got a passive 10%

thin portal
#

^

#

yes 10% bleed dmg passive.

azure surge
#

Idk guys, clearly says 40%

dark token
#

Did number change during ptr or did I hallucinate a 4 because I wanted it to be a 4

#

It's 4 am I don't even know dude

thin portal
#

well, it should be a 4...

balmy condor
#

40% bleed damage is insane lmao

dark token
#

Must have been a wet dream

balmy condor
#

we would forcibly pick that in all content

thin portal
#

wet dream confirmed. Blood everywhere.

balmy condor
#

the passive bleed damage alone would be like

#

easily an 8% talent

#

in single target

#

that's like DTB levels of good

dark token
#

Well it is a capstone... Hmm

balmy condor
#

not for single target it's not

thin portal
#

hehe

#

I gotta say

balmy condor
#

if sudden demise is good in single target something is very wrong

thin portal
#

Indiscriminate Carnage is still bad.

balmy condor
#

what

tall cloak
#

I love it

thin portal
#

2 targets >_>

#

then you have to vanish again to activate

dark token
#

I like it but I think I would have preferred the sub replicating shadows version instead where it's permanent on

#

Vs just in stealth

astral leaf
thin portal
#

it looks like tempest is still main aoe to me

#

cant go without it for M+

dark token
#

Nah it's garrote and caustic

I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage

thin portal
#

oh I havn't tried caustic yet im just debating in my head still on talents.

runic hinge
#

Or anything about 10.2 today?

thin portal
#

im just speaking out my ass sorry guys.

dark token
thin portal
#

first impressions for me.

runic hinge
#

Then come back after you’re slightly informed

thin portal
#

im curious how much Caustic actually adds up to

astral leaf
#

Shit ton

thin portal
#

nice

dark token
#

Just look at dslice sim breakdown

#

It should be in ur top 3 dmg probably in a dungeon

thin portal
#

oh thats big

#

is Sin high KPM to play yet

#

I keep going to outlaw for that.

#

looks like a lot of new things to play out now.

shut owl
#

what is kpm?

tribal hornet
#

apm probably

shut owl
#

you get one kingsbane per minute

thin portal
#

did i say it wrong

#

keypress per minute or something

runic hinge
#

Usually it’s action

thin portal
#

action per minute?

runic hinge
#

And no, it’s lower than last patch

#

Yes

thin portal
#

got it, i see.

eternal heath
#

Oh I gotta get a new crest/fragment WA

thin portal
#

well Im still a rogue at heart. Gotta play Sin and Outlaw and see which one I like.

#

i didnt play sub last season

#

not sure how that was.

#

hows everyone like Sin right now?

#

feels goey like melted butter?

#

i mean melting caramel

#

😮

dark token
#

I can see people in sub channel just dying from all the slightly diff builds that all take dust

errant swallow
#

are you guys recrafting stuff to haste/mastery or something?

dark token
#

I crafted 2 extra pieces of haste mast jewlery

errant swallow
#

Im currently crafted mastery/crit

dark token
errant swallow
#

Simming right now, just curious

dark token
#

I was heavy crit vers so I moved 2 pieces to mast haste

#

Based on my sim

errant swallow
thin portal
#

anyone ran some interesting

balmy condor
#

don't use stat weights

drifting cloud
#

damn those are gonna be big 20dps gains

errant swallow
#

brb, cat playing with something

thin portal

dark token
errant swallow
#

mb

jagged yoke
#

what poisons do we use?

thin portal
#

Amp and deadly last time i looked

errant swallow
#

ap/dp

thorn fjord
#

So whats the cast sequence for our second DM?

#

Where do i squeeze the imp garrote in

#

Do I use 1 gcd in SD for it?

runic hinge
#

You’re always gonna garrote in SD for nightstalker

thorn fjord
#

Should that be the first button i press after pressing SD?

#

like SD Gar KB Shiv?

dark token
#

No

#

KB first always

#

Shiv before dance always

thorn fjord
#

and wheres the DM?

dark token
#

Sequence is envenom, (deathmark), shiv, dance + KB(macro if u want), garrote , envenom, build to 5, rupture

dark token
#

Always those abilities in order

thin portal
#

well damn, i only kept my outlaw gear

dark token
#

It's fine

thin portal
#

will test anyways

dark token
#

Sin doesn't really care stats as much as other specs

#

It's more balanced

thin portal
#

coo

rotund wagon
#

I hate that answer, obv sim is king but don’t act like we all aren’t gonna end up with a bunch of crit and mastery on our stuff

dark token
#

In full outlaw gear except weapons and trinkets sin simmed only 2% behind bis gear

#

It really doesn't matter lol

gusty mirage
#

my degeneracy has been spotted

dark token
#

I liked ptr seeing some random NA peeps again

spice spire
#

Wait

#

Wasn’t that a regular?

gusty mirage
#

yes

spice spire
#

Is that the person I’m thinking of hmm

azure surge
#

God I miss her

gusty mirage
#

you're thinking of our friend @storm belfry

lime willow
spice spire
oak sky
#

I miss me

spice spire
#

I’d literally never forget cyon I miss him daily @storm belfry Stop playing resto Druid

spice spire
#

God what a king

#

I see him in the Druid disc

#

So I assumed

#

Sue me bozo

thin portal
#

so i been listening to phonk music

#

and playing rogue

#

I think it goes together well

#

im liking the blind buff, I havnt even used it yet.

rugged wadi
#

Vanish during the last 3 seconds of Kingsbane to utilize Master Assassin. this is what wowhead suggests but wouldnt it be better to still use vanish for improved garrote before deathmark?

balmy condor
#

that's what dance is for

rugged wadi
#

ok

#

There is something I'm having problem with which I don't undestand why or how to fix it, so if i make a macro exp
#stt
/cast mutilate
/use 14
that macro works regardless of blindside proc (it will cast mutilate or ambush)
but if i make a macro with castsequnce ex
#stt
/castsequence reset=20 mutilate, mutilate, mutilate, mutilate
the macro will break if blindside is proced

#

Any suggestion how to fix this?

Whats the base ilvl I can craft the toxic thorn footwraps at with the spark of dreams?

nocturne hawk
strange python

I want do biggest number

nocturne hawk
#

PTR chat was way better ngl

errant swallow

My take:
I will be playing Sin in raids, Outlol in keys and sub in pvp.

Dang son

apologies for the stupid question. where can i find 10.2 trees?

Wow head

other than amirdrassil, obvs

groovy.. I made the mistake of finding icyveins first

balmy condor
#

icyveins has the same builds

cerulean nest

man the no acro is rough lol

did a reclear and you gotta be UNDER those boys

rugged wadi
outer cairn
#

hmmm. is that right? I earned a splintered spark of dreams from one dude, then I turned in a quest to lady moonberry which was to give me two splintered sparks which means I should have 3 but i only had 2 total

balmy condor
#

the quest costs 1 splinter

#

to give you 2

outer cairn
#

guess i should read

crude hornet
#

very confused on how sudden demise works. just looking at from questing, it seems like it does a small chunk of damage when they hit 35%, not fatal damage

#

Am i missing something with this?

balmy condor
#

the mob has to be under 35% to even consider the effect

#

at that point, every bleed tick checks if the total remaining bleed damage on the target exceeds 150% of the remaining health

#

so if gar+rup+ct is 150 damage remaining

#

the mob needs to be under 100 hp

#

if that is true

#

the mob dies

crude hornet
#

So i would expect every quest mob to basically go from 35% to 0% if they have gar/rupture up considering im fighting like 200k health mobs, im confused why that isnt happening, and ill see mobs take a little bit of damage from sudden demise and not die from it

balmy condor
#

you probably are killing them before a bleed tick has a chance to tick

gusty mirage
#

🫠

storm belfry
#

Yeah I’m almost 9

#

But my baby made me get off

gusty mirage
#

I think this weakaura is broken or wrong

#

cause uh

storm belfry
#

And I lost my rhythm so I’m going to bed

gusty mirage
#

2 of these side quests don't exist

#

and one is stuck at 7/8

#

lol

storm belfry
#

One doesn’t come till next week

gusty mirage
#

which one

#

TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

#

my character is constantly on fire in the new zone and dieing, and i dont know why

I’m going off of like

would you craft a weapon and consider it safe or is nick of time bis to a point where the crafted weapon is junk

storm belfry

Oh wait

storm belfry

wtf is that wa oxi

#

Hi whispyr

#

You handsome devil

gusty mirage

same one I used for rares in s1

storm belfry

Man I didn’t get to kill rares on main

I guess it’s okay

grim coral
#

well, turns out my insulated mug is insulating very well, that hurt

Mob is not dead, yet sudden demise damage is showing. Top 10 things science cannot explain

ive literally never felt this strong while questing before

#

we're so fucking back

grim coral
#

yknow what should be in your blood? @storm belfry poisons

#

mostly blood though

#

you should get that rdruid stuff checked out

slate crown
#

My map is empty

#

how do

#

where

past forum
#

how much of the rep stuff is daily?

balmy condor

gray hazel
#

I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t seem to like shadow dance, why I never played sub to begin with.

#

Might be too boomer for it with the stealth bar always taking over and messin me up

tame cloak
#

do we do m0 this week or wut

hexed basin
#

how far behind dance is no dance on ST?

grim coral
#

im not a big fan of dance, but i do not like echoing

gray hazel
#

Feel like we have to learn to do it, I don’t know if there is a no dance M+ build

!fuu

#

If you're already breaking them apart because of keybinds, then suggesting making all buttons available at all times is probably not what you want to hear because it does mean more keybinds.

gray hazel
#

Trying to relearn sucks ass

slate crown
#

For sure, I understand this. Just takes time with it

gray hazel
#

It’s mainly just envenom and cheap I have to deal with, since their both on 3 heh

#

Or I might just wait to we what pvp meta is, if they don’t dance then neither will I 😈

signal badger
#

!whispyr

slate crown
#

But it's also a muscle to flex and exercise. I've played since 2005 and I've been able to challenge myself on keybinds I thought were set in stone, and trying to be more flexible has led to the process being easier

gusty mirage
slate crown
#

FWIW in pve content, cheapshot is a rarely, if ever, used button

gusty mirage
patent snow
#

Has anyone tried using Hekili? It's promting to use Shiv during dance which seems wrong.

gusty mirage
#

you shiv in dance w/ kingsbane so it's not entirely wrong

unique sorrel
#

did someone make a plater mod for spatter recoloring?

gusty mirage
#

but those rotation helpers kinda fall apart when rotations get complex/conditional

slate crown
#

Technically you don't shiv during dance

#

You shiv the global before, then the 2nd global after it fades

gusty mirage
#

but human + dmf

balmy condor
#

oh

#

degeneracy

#

I see

gusty mirage
#

I can't wait to redo all of this on my main when I get to renown 10 on this shit alt

balmy condor
#

???

#

why

#

just don't

gusty mirage
#

wdym

#

you save like 3-4 weeks on the infinite augment rune grind

#

why would I not do it

balmy condor
#

holy you're actually degenerate

#

no shot

deft vault
#

can we do the a dragon in hand questline yet?

gusty mirage
#

I don't think so

deft vault
#

A passed torch either?

gusty mirage
#

wdym no shot

balmy condor
#

yes

#

and you were ill for that

#

seek help

gusty mirage
deft vault
#

the fuck how are you 9 then

#

ive done all of that too and im 7 lol

slate crown
#

where does memory start

gusty mirage

#

nerd

gusty mirage
earnest remnant
#

im taking it slow with it

#

i have like 410 augment runes anyway

#

gonna last be for a good bit

slate crown
#

I'm just glad that they fixed the rep threshold bug

#

where you could bank up a bunch of tokens until you are at like 2499/2500 at renown 9

#

then click them all at once and keep the 100% bonus for a few seconds after hitting 10

#

doing that was tedious as fuck

kindred carbon
#

Still seems like assassin has energy problems :/

shy pecan
#

What were the conditions for when you could have improved garrote but not have it NS empowered (or vice versa)?

kindred carbon
#

Using the AP build

Right, I forgot about Sepsis. Was trying to find it but I think it was in the PTR channel 😦

I might be in the minority but I kind of miss having IC as a button.

slate crown
#

oh sick they added a teleport option to the dream with the wyrmhole

arctic hare
#

And that my good sirs, is a 463 toxic thorn boots!

slate crown
#

without having to do anything

cyan kestrel
#

Is there a reason not to macro Dance into KB for raid? (Dance then Kb)

balmy condor
#

no

slate crown
#

@gusty mirage did you get all the rep treasures too?

gusty mirage
#

ya

pulsar apex
#

if im learning Assassin.. would playing AP version of the M+ build be better because its closer to the single target build? ie has tea.

balmy condor
#

they all have tea

pulsar apex
balmy condor
#

the gameplay should be basically the same

pulsar apex
#

doesnt have tea

kindred carbon
#

so im using the AP build and just running out of energy at some points and just sitting waiting for it to regen. Am I doing something wrong orrrrrrr is that just how it is?

balmy condor
#

@marble hemlock ???

kindred carbon
balmy condor
#

what this

kindred carbon
#

does the DTB build have less of the energy problem or not really?

pulsar apex
#

the mythic+ page recommends the DTB without tea

kindred carbon
#

also I thought envenom was supposed to cleave but maybe im remembering it wrong?

gusty mirage
#

it does with your spatter target

fleet coral
#

nope da bomb cleaves and its have a chance to pop when you envenom

balmy condor
#

the spec is slow

#

and you have to manage your energy

kindred carbon
#

Ah ok

balmy condor
#

that's a core foundational gameplay feature of the spec

kindred carbon
#

just didnt know if it was a me problem

balmy condor
#

nop

kindred carbon
#

ty

balmy condor
gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

i mean idk

#

seli might've just said fuck it acro

#

and gone with that

pulsar apex
#

is the wowhead more uptodater?

balmy condor
#

we updated at the same time

#

it should all be the same info

#

for all I know, seli just decided to run acro in his m+ build as a recommendation

#

which would be fine

#

but the build looks goofy to me

fleet coral
#

still sepsis better ? think i missed exsang 😦

balmy condor
#

we don't use sepsis

pulsar apex
#

the wowhead one looks 'right' ... tea + DTB

#

for M+

#

btw ty for all the hard work the videos. they have been just great.

fleet coral
marble hemlock
balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

ill rename it and add the no-acro version for those who like getting hit by mechanics in m+ :p

fleet coral
#

ah ok ma bad i've just checked discord guides

pulsar apex
#

ty all

kindred carbon
#

In AOE if im using spatter do I just want to refresh tempest when the timer runs out or like am I building with evicerate in AOE or Fan?

balmy condor
#

what

balmy condor
#

crimson tempest is a bleed you want to maintain in aoe always

marble hemlock
#

@balmy condor real talk though, if you were to pick up acro, what would you drop?

kindred carbon
#

Ok so I realize I didnt word that very well.

If I have splatter am I wanting to build with fan or evicerate

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

yeah basically

#

choice was like

#

lethality vs ER

#

cuz i dont think vigor is the play

balmy condor
#

it's just like a solid 3% worse overall

marble hemlock
#

ye

arctic hare
#

Hey Whispyr, why is it that your plater profile flashes?

#

like, the bar flashes white, is there a specific reasoning behind it or what?

marble hemlock
#

i feel like... leeching/acro is worth 3%, but thats just my opinion ofc. so ill add the ultra omega maxdps build even though i dont recommend people play it :p

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

i have no clue what that is

gusty mirage
#

realz said it himself, it's a dps talent even if it does nothing for sim dps

arctic hare
#

Hmm, weird

pulsar apex
#

the Leeching Acro is still the recommended build as default on IV btw. just FYi.

arctic hare
#

I originally thought it could be ticks of my bleeds, but idk about that now

marble hemlock
#

well yeah, thats been my stance for a long time as well

balmy condor
#

just want to make sure we're on the same page

marble hemlock
arctic hare
#

And it only seems to start once Caustic spatter is on.

feral mason
#

Not sure how it is this season but last season had a fair bit of spinners that you could continue hitting with acro

gusty mirage
feral mason
#

was pretty nice

balmy condor
arctic hare
#

Yeah, but after its applied, and it turns green, it flashes white, trying to get a recording of it rq

pulsar apex
marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

do you have a fancy name you want to call it

marble hemlock
#

Kyrian sucks

#

ER sucks

#

dont @ me

cerulean walrus
#

Kyrian CRINGE

#

Based Seli

balmy condor
#

also shroud cooldown over iron stomach

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

that's definitely a pick

marble hemlock
#

i put it like

slate crown
# gusty mirage ya

Got to 8 and 1953/2500 to 9. DMF was up for everything, though this character is not human. So, that's probably the difference right there

gusty mirage
#

gives 1k rep

slate crown
#

o.o

marble hemlock
#

i feel most people

#

will probably see more value from stillshroud than iron stomach

balmy condor
#

fair enough

gusty mirage
# slate crown o.o

with the pvp weekly + the rares I should be able to hit renown 10 on my alt tomorrow

marble hemlock
#

many a run was ended cuz "wipe, no shroud, go out"

kindred carbon
#

Lmao I searched up rotation guide and @balmy condor comes up so looks like I have all the info i need

feral mason
#

how is shroud value this season?

marble hemlock
#

pretty solid

tepid idol
#

heyo ! As lang as we“re sittung on old tierset, should we delay kingsbane several seconds after deathmark so 4pc bonus is buffing last seconds of kingsbane?

gusty mirage
#

so shroud was giga useful

marble hemlock
#

shroud can typically be replaced by invis pots ofc, but like... shroud is very good in many dungeons

feral mason
#

Guess we only have 2 df dungeons now so there isnt as many ā€œevery mob is invis sightā€ dungeons now

marble hemlock
#

waycrest, dht and brh all have at least 1 very good use to shroud

pulsar apex
#

shroud is taken for GG?

marble hemlock

i unironically have no clue about doti

#

ye atal as well

feral mason
#

Pretty sure doti is as linear as can be

#

Except for the one big trash area with the portals

gusty mirage
feral mason
#

I really hope next xpac has more open dungeons again man

gusty mirage
feral mason
#

But it being nearly all underground worries me

gusty mirage
#

then people will complain that rogues are necessary

#

like they did for all of legion & bfa

marble hemlock
#

rogue wasnt necessary in legion tho

#

cuz you had pylons

feral mason
#

Eh

marble hemlock
#

just deathskip

#

if you didnt have rogue

gusty mirage
#

tru

feral mason
#

Idk I thought SL was a great balance of the two

marble hemlock
#

wtb pylons back

feral mason
#

As much as people shit on SL ,dungeons were great

marble hemlock
#

not the scuffed as fuck df version we have

#

that kills you half the time cuz you forget you have to move away from the robot

gusty mirage

#

hypest announcement of blizzcon was cata classic

#

only 1 more expansion and we get to enjoy good wow

feral mason
marble hemlock
#

tbf sub in cata is pog as fuck

gusty mirage
#

nothing will top combat in wrath for me

feral mason
#

prayge they skip wod after

gusty mirage
#

sorry pal

feral mason
#

gimme non-private private server legion please

gusty mirage
#

wod wasn't even that bad, there was just nothing to do

#

I'd rather play wod + bfa for 6 years than ever play shadowlands again

feral mason
#

depends what part of SL

gusty mirage
#

no I can confidently say every part of SL

#

that expansion was hot ass garbage

feral mason
#

I will take halls of atonement from SL

#

and uh

gusty mirage
#

was very cool going into beta with 3/4 of our covenant abilities either not working or not existing

runic hinge

We need wod classic so we can have Twitter integration and the selfie cam patch

#

any WA for tracking if have snapshot properly?

gusty mirage
#

I think notter and @slate crown were working on one

trim sedge
#

What is likely going to be PI pri for raid?

gusty mirage
#

It tracked kingsbane damage iirc

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

yeh it's like assa rogue, uhdk

#

and then some crazy shit

#

MM hunter

#

and a mage spec

#

or something

trim sedge
#

Dang ok so what i heard was true

gusty mirage
#

I think top 4 is uhdk, sin, bm and then mm

balmy condor
#

oh is bm good now too

gusty mirage
#

of course

#

azor hasn't seemed sad lately

balmy condor
#

I don't pay attention to azors mood ring

mb

gusty mirage
#

assassination really polevaulted to the simp choice

#

wild

kindred carbon
#

Ik this is the assassin channel but did outlaw get any less arthritis enducing this patch?

balmy condor
#

more arthritis

gusty mirage
#

no KEKW

kindred carbon
#

Fuck

balmy condor
#

it's faster

kindred carbon
#

Guess im just playing assassin then lol

steel ridge
#

Outlaw is zooming like crazy

quartz prawn
#

so u think outlaw is more worth this patch?

steel ridge
#

imo it’s better, i may return to it

marble hemlock
warm raft
#

do we have average Dps sin rogues are busting with PI?

quartz prawn
#

i thought it would be subtlety .... so dont know wich spec i choose x.x.... i played last season retri pala and rerolled to rogue now... i lvled to 70 with assa, but dont know what would ne better for high keys and myth raid

gusty mirage
#

take whatever assassination sims at and add 12-13k

oak trench
#

Am I not supposed to spam envenom if I’m running the blood build for keys

#

I feel energy starved when I do that

gusty mirage

warm raft
#

thats awesome

marble hemlock
#

i mean it seems appropriate imo

earnest remnant
#

i mean

marble hemlock
#

playing outlaw makes me vanish, put a gun between my eyes repeatedly, until i finally do the pistol shot

earnest remnant
#

Between the eyes is what i wanna do to myself when i play that spec

gusty mirage
marble hemlock
earnest remnant
#

lmfao

marble hemlock
silk bane
#

unironically outlaw has better theme and flavor, youre litearlly gunning down people. idk pretty piraty to me kekdog

gusty mirage
#

pirates sword fought and shot cannons more than guns

earnest remnant
#

or americans

icy ridge
#

outlaw is the worst thing to happen to combat rogues

gusty mirage
marble hemlock
earnest remnant
#

common misconception

icy ridge
#

its like how surv hunters felt when they got turned into a melee class

marble hemlock
#

usually they immediately ran away the moment a proper authority showed up

silk bane
#

i was gonna say american pirates but stealthi stole my joke

marble hemlock
#

just like outlaw players

quartz prawn
#

when u rate outlaw and assa, is assa a+-tier and outlaw s-tier?

marble hemlock
#

even proper cutthroat highwaymen wouldnt really use their guns that often

quartz prawn
#

cause the style of outlaw fucks me up xD

runic hinge
#

I rate assa as A tier and outlaw as O tier

silk bane
#

tooooo based

gusty mirage
#

in terms of raid, with assassination being the new poster child for simping (PI/Augvoker buffs) it'll probably end up close

quartz prawn
#

subtlety is completly out of theme?

gusty mirage
#

subtlety competes with outlaw in ST and simped assassination if you play the shadowdust build

kindred carbon
#

Oh ok so youre really just using fan to apply your non lethals?

gusty mirage
#

and sub is also solid in m+, but still worse than outlaw

#

outlaw just does bonkers damage right now

#

idk if it stays or not

earnest remnant
#

i would be surprized if outlaw does not get a slap on the wrists

gusty mirage
#

I would too

earnest remnant
#

they are beating everybody by a mile

gusty mirage
#

considering all 3 specs got absolutely beat with the nerf bat for being this strong early in 10.0

earnest remnant
#

would even say outlaw is stronger

#

rn

#

than back then

gusty mirage
#

outlaw suffers from being a rogue, rogues aren't allowed to be that strong

keen gulch
#

Hey, is the afenar WA package updated for 10.2?

gusty mirage
#

if they were a purple or blue class would be fine

silk bane
#

idk, outlaws litearlly the best spec in the entire game if you pull <= 8 mobs, but you pull a 9th one and suddenly its not that great

#

like i remember on PTR they were getting gapepd by boomies, mages, dh...

gusty mirage
#

so

silk bane
#

i know, ofcourse, but i also doubt theyre gonan enrf a spec that probably wont even end up being that insane in keys

gusty mirage
#

also pretty sure DH is also bonkers strong rn

#

as well as boomies

earnest remnant
gusty mirage
#

so šŸ˜›

silk bane
#

close to 250k

#

sub needed 12 targets to beat outlaws 8

#

but also subs turbo bad in aoe rn, we lose to sin until 9 targets i think

marble hemlock
#

lol

somber dove
#

Is outlaw still just hitting buttons fast or do I need to use brain?

gusty mirage
earnest remnant
#

really good with aug

marble hemlock
#

we lose so much st compared to outlaw for going an m+ build

#

but its actually recovered through aug

silk bane
#

^^

marble hemlock
#

that wasnt the case before

slate crown
silk bane
#

still an issue with sin

#

u guys like lose 22%? i cant remember

runic hinge
#

You can also bring a healer priest since shadow is down there and enhance for windfury and now you got a group going

gusty mirage
#

bring a prot warrior too for bshout

#

or a vdh for chaos brand

#

yolo

#

build the group around the assassination rogue to compete with outlaw

slate crown
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
marble hemlock
silk bane
#

oh nice, thats much much better than i thought then

marble hemlock
#

gotta keep in mind

#

that outlaw sims very high

kindred carbon
#

I assume between DTB and AP neither is really just easier than the other right

warm urchin
#

i thought ambush was supposesd to just replace mutilate when in stealth now no?

marble hemlock
#

but, contrary to the belief of every outlaw player ever, they cant actually do that damage in game, becuase no one plays the spec as well as the sim does

silk bane
#

^ guy about to have a mental breakdown kekman

#

but youre right!

#

idk though, looking at ptr performance i doubt outlaw is even in top 3 highest damage specs in the game (in keys)

marble hemlock
#

outlaw will be very sought after

#

cuz its an easy pick, its been good for a long time, so no one will give it a second thought

#

and itll likely perform very well across the board

silk bane
#

it'll definately overperform early on, new season, low ilvl, lack of pathing, people are gonna pull low

#

and outlaw just destroys

marble hemlock
#

it depends a bit on what the season will end up being like. i can see outlaw being very solid this season because theres a fuckton of bosses you can play with trash

silk bane
#

but then you start pulling more and more packs and at that point its hard to justify brining outlaw when you can bring aug mage havoc or aug boomie havoc or aug boomie mage

#

but also i do think that hte closer the tuning, the more impactful the raid buffs

marble hemlock
#

dont @ me but comp this season will be protwarr, havoc, enhance, rogue, disc.

#

myabe theres some wizard comps

silk bane
#

thats the comp we're running this season but with ppal

gusty mirage
#

Woah seli playing it real dangerous there

marble hemlock
#

no aug, i know

silk bane
#

oh wait u didnt have aug there

#

nvm

marble hemlock
#

but thats because i expect them to realize that having a dps spec give permanetn rallying cry is kinda stupid

silk bane
#

get him outa the kitchen

potent dawn
#

Yea not having Aug is a LOL

marble hemlock
#

and nerf it

gusty mirage
silk bane
marble hemlock
#

it most certainly is

gusty mirage
#

Everything is the worst part of aug

crude hornet
#

can anyone explain this? how can sudden demise do damage but not kill the target? It reads like it kills the target instantly if the conditions are met but it clearly does not

gusty mirage
#

The entire spec

silk bane
#

what oxi said tbh

marble hemlock
#

they nerfed throughput of aug pretty significnatly

silk bane
#

like the fact that the spec makes ur healer heal more

#

and ur tank becomes immortal

#

is what breaks the game

marble hemlock
#

the problem is that the spec makes keys way easier for tanks and healers

#

you basically play the keylevel at 2-3keylevels lower in terms of survivability that aug brings. no other dps spec does that

silk bane
#

like just ebcause htis dumbass spec exists, u just pull infinite, and u live it and heal through it

#

exactly!

#

but thats not been addressed yet

#

theyre like oh we'll reduce aug damage a little

#

and its like, that doesnt really matter

potent dawn
#

They don't know how to address it without making the spec so dirt it might as well not exist

silk bane
#

idk, i think there are ways

novel arrow
#

@balmy condor Hey Sexy Beast. I thought I'd pay you a compliment before I @ you with questions none stop the whole season. Do you think assa will be competitive in M+ against other rogue specs ?

marble hemlock
#

cant wait to have my personal augvoker pop his shit and at that exact moment some DH felrushes into his meleerange and gets the ebon might instead of me

proven jasper

thats why we have prescience seli

thats fair

potent dawn

Dont gotta spell it to push it BB

quartz prawn
#

hey^^ so when i dont like the style of outlaw its the best decision for my to play sub? im totally new in rogue, but i think assa loose a lot of time by hide and sub seems fun too
i played with retri high keys, so 22-23 and was in myth progress in aberrus so i dont wanna choose a spec, train it and than its trash xD

snow kindle
#

istg sin is so sleeper

#

this spec feels so good

#

and probably is good at what it does

Is everyone sticking to sin? sims suggest sin is balls now

Sin is suffering from some bugs right now in game. Sims reflect those bugs and are therefore lower than they previously were by a fair margin.

grizzled mist

should i be using envenom as much as i can? or should i be using it just before the buff falls off?

royal lantern
#

guide explains it

#

in cd windows spam, outside of cd windows maintain buff is the tl:dr

hexed willow
#

Besides not pooling and the double shiv window, is there anything mechanically different about Kingsbane window compared to the maintenance rotation?

hexed willow
#

Just confirming I understand what I read

late birch
#

Maybe im not seeing it, but any reason why rotation says to finish most things on 4+ CP in opener? isnt it normally max -1 since we have 6 CP in total?

#

Or is it just to fit as much things into KB and SD window?

flint tusk
#

It changed

distant helm
#

Its changed a bit with the talent tree as you could technically overcap if both weapons crit on your mut on 4cp

thin gate
#

i mean mut could always crit with mh and oh

#

or am i wrong here

royal lantern
#

it has nothing to do with mut crits

#

mut giving up to 4cp existed since forever

thin gate
#

4 cp was possible be4 aswell

royal lantern
#

its just that the current energy-into-cp-into-dmg logic changed

#

+4 set wants back to back envenoms

late birch
#

that 4+ thing messing with ma brain

thin gate
#

just envenom at 4 cp if u crit mut i guess

distant helm
#

You better of finishing on 4

#

As cps are more valuable now

#

Instead of the chance to overcap

late birch
#

so even outside of cd's the rule is always finish 4+?

#

I just change my 4th CP to green too for my WA and its fine?

thin gate
#

cant wait to get included into the pi discussion in raid again

You never deviate from the rules

just wanted to know for early prog with probs no 4set

Like these pooling conditions were always basically the same pooling conditions for like the last 2 expansions.

They just didn’t matter enough to justify the headache of trying to get people to read 2 or 3 paragraphs until now

Am I missunderstanding how sudden demise procs or is it bugged for you guys?
Been testing it out in some low keys and on quests and sometimes it works just fine and procs the reasonable amount of damage and at other times it does not proc at all or super late.
Open world mob was easily in execute range with its hp and my dots ticked from 50-34-7% and then took another sec or so before it actually executed the enemy. The mob was 100% in execute range right at 35%.
Tried 2 dungeons aswell and it is very clear when it works since it pops enemies with big numbers but at other times it doesnt proc at all or if they are below 10% health (when they had multiple chances to proc before)

Have noticed that my poisons also reset again every time i zone to a different instance-.- ^^

normal mist
#

You make it better @balmy condor RHlove

flint tusk
keen spruce
#

the more actual hp the mob has, the lower is has to get for those bleeds to pop it

fair ingot
keen spruce
#

oh idk would need to see logs

fair ingot
#

I am 445eq had full bleed duration up and the mob was at 220k hp at 100%. at full bleeds my execute damage does over 300k dmg

keen spruce
#

but i haven't encountered that issue no

fair ingot
#

so I had more than enough damage to proc him at 35 šŸ˜„

#

So I dont understand why the bleeds ticket to 34% then 7 and only after that it procced the execute eventho my bleeds hat pretty much full uptime

#

In timewalking I had 0 problems and it was actually hillarious how op this talent is in there.
but in open world and in the +6 I tested it seems buggy multiple times where it just didnt proc the execute eventho they should have more than enough bleed damage remaining
