what is an optimal haste percentage?
Xddddddd
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
optimal haste is generally around 390%
Aint no way 55% is optimal with branch
Ahahah
I am at 32 Crit, 19 Haste and 47 Mastery
55% pre branch use
(For the people actually asking/wondering, I am fully memeing and you shouldn't stack anything unless robot says so. Sim responsibly)
Yea that is an insane amount
not bad then
tudorot can u post gear
Why can’t blizzard not do their job for once. I know I complained that they weren’t balancing enough in shadowlands and I bitched and moaned all day and whispyr muted me a couple times because I was crying that blizzard devs don’t do shit for their job, but now that rogue is good, they’re doing their job and I don’t like that! I want them to only do their jobs when it’s in my favor smh my head shaking my head
and ilvl
is sin rogue parse stil affected without having 2 augs?
No
The realest thing I have ever read
dope
im at 53% pre branch use
Why they gotta do their job the moment I don't want them to do their job
not THAT insane
i assume they werent fixed retroactively though on WCL
9/10 sim robots hate him
Click here to see why
clicks
I got this and sims would like a tad bit more mastery
With pooling I should get to 5/MAX CP and then wait for 200 energy or max?
post branch
It is ever so slightly better than other stats
@analog path if you wanna post logs i think the gang can have a look at em and help you
only 100%? lol noob
:(
Perma 100, m+ god
Don't worry guys, after blizzard sees that other specs surpass sin when they get legendary, they'll buff us again 
Imagine it still wants some mastery when we are DR'd out of our minds during CDs
if youre at 4 cp and just pooling envenoms you could go to 6 cp but if you havea bllindeside proc i assume just wait at 4 cp since youre gonna overcap otherwise?
The next meme is gonna be
"I showed you my mastery% why wont you answer"
Does this mean we aren’t scaling anymore? @balmy condor
Mastery is one of the stats of all time
Might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen scroll across my notifications
I LOVE SCALING 

34% chance of scale
Just like how fire mages scale insanely well and is why it was op this raid
And I’m including the guy that asked for 7-8 second 3 target sims so he can optimize his pawn string for his leveling speedrun
Doomblade aoe spread?
please tell me this is a shitpost
what about that one?
PEOPLE DO THAT xDD
That was cursed af
my damage on M volc felt horrible and I cant tell if its because i had 0 augmented damage or its just me
I could not come up with something this deranged if I wanted to I’m afraid

what the fuck am i reading bro
Wait
Is that guys name Harldan?
i averaged like 30-40 parse across all pulls we did before downing

Thats the only speedrunner I know of, but I wouldnt expect him to be that deranged
He got really upset that I wasn’t going to change the entire APL to take out cooldowns and talents he didn’t have access to
And then called me a slur
And left
was the slur germ*n?
Gott I wish
which one was it
That sounds like a wowhead comment section or something
God*
It can't be the worst sentence posted here even in the last 24 hours
We've really become degenerates ever since the rework huh
I felt like the channel was pretty tame in S1/S2
That joins, barely loses the sprout role and begins cooking
We’re PI junkies, can’t get more degen now
bro anyone know wtf these are for?
Despair
???

new poe season man
💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
i've never had any desire to ever even download POE
i took one look at the POE talent tree and decided that the game was not for me
So like here’s the thing with the wowhead comment section. The average intelligence in there comparable to a fish bashing its head into the side of its tank to escape. But they’re consistent. Discord channels are home to on average more reasonable people, but there’s insane extremes on both sides. You get really really smart, super friendly people. And then you get people that make it difficult to believe in humans having shared evolutionary ancestry
You place them on the ground for the new ascendancy, blood hunt, so you can get the damage bonus against that type
Oh I need to be specced into that ascendency?
Yeah
That is probably one of the smartest roasts I have ever read, big W if u thought of that one yourself 🏅
ah yea nevermind then
I was reminded of this when we went through some of the copypastas in RH history in OT, truly some unique people out there
Is the IQ talent a hero talent not yet available?
im gonna buy random bodies and give them to friends that are specced into it
Or is it just about leveling more?
So what you're saying is I could be real smart and/or real dumb and I have to guess which one depending on my favorite secondary stats
The 3 typos I left in 
Most people here, lurk or otherwise, are in the middle
Omni go back from whence you came
Still
I guess I stopped posting logs since they are terrible (wtb WFT)
Is that one specific wowhead commenter still there everytime btw Whispyr?
u know who I mean
Yes
Xaethron
that's the one
warcraft logs doesnt count PI / aug dmg right?
Is it bepples?
Professional hater
xaethron the goat
He has to be paid to be so consistant
PI and Windfury yes, aug no
Imagine being so wrong on something you can easily prove is wrong, you mute somebody for calling out your bullshit act, which is acting right when you are actually wrong about the subject currently being discussed (soothing got a nerf which means it isn't a net 0 change) While LMFAO'ing me despite you clearly being wrong if you thought for one second about it.
"LMFAOOOOO"
"He still has no idea"
But no you have the special role so whatever you say is law.
1984
Still my favorite pasta in this disc this year
This was about crimson vial / soothing adjustments btw
Aug is reattributed to the Aug, PI and windfury are given to the person benefitting from them
okay thank you
PI yes, aug normally no, but there are some shenanigans right now with stuff not working
i didnt know man i usually like
only play windwalker so im neglected by everyone
and pi is bad on us
yea rn I think spec is over
does 3% auto attack dmg matter
D tier 100%
3% ability and aa damage gangy
windfury is op just for poisons too so that wouldnt matter
I wish we had dust instead of sub
Get out

i wish ass had monk xuen instead of kingsbane, and the xuen would give you the 30% haste from the talent, alongside applying poisons instead of doing autos/lightning dmg
Imagine that, every 10 seconds it's CTs as well
at least double
sounds good
Im pretty sure when I saw the nerf I literally shrunk 3% in height
I picked a real good time to gear up my feral

my pp size definitely shrunk
I'm seeing a pattern lately of late night and insanely burnt kitchens in this channel
nah but like assa so good rn bro i cant complain like i do with windwalker
2.988262838374639282629592716% smaller?
only thing i can complain about is how bad i play it sometimes
around that
its autos didn't get nerfed tho
so idk
prolly like 2.7%
ok, so? it's all about time efficiency, you shower faster, you pee faster (less travel time in urethra)
all of this allows you to have more uptime in wow with assa dots
its bis tbh
My kingsbane was parried on Wednesday, wtf is life
I SAW THAT ON TWITTER
"less travel tme in urethra" 
nah bro bosses being able to parry kingsbane is CRAZY (go behind the boss)
I wish we had swords, and caustic spatter did all damage, but it was a buff on you, and every time you spent combo points, your cooldowns got reduced, but then right, I think that maintaining bleeds with that might be a bit weird, so we can get rid of the bleeds, and then instead of that, just have a bunch of procs. And maybe the proc could be like a gun or something and you hit them with a quick shot. Maybe call it uh, blicky clicky idk. And then you could have this other thing, like a bigger gun, and you could pull it out and big damage, and you could like be a sniper with it or whatever like “shoot em between the top of their forehead and the bridge of their nose” or something, make it a voice line.
Idk maybe that would be cool
Press all my cds, look at my WA's and kingsbane is greyed out. Like cmon
Sounds good as long as we still use double dagger
Hit em with the blicky clicky
And we should change the name to something cool but slightly edgy
Like ruffian or smth
Just grow a 3rd arm then we can use 3h swords
Street Hooligan
Distasteful individual
would be nice to have a spec in the game like this
Devious Delinquent
Call it inlaws
Outcast maybe
I'm vibing with desperado
whispyr how much do you need to drink/smoke/snort to get through the nerf days?
Is crab and branch a good trinket combo?
No wonder I hate them so much
Yeah it’s pretty good

What's BiS?
||
||
I KNEW IT
Box box?
Already did that twice today
Branch + pips in m+, with crab being close
Branch + sandglass/signet in single target
you like bubble wrap?
the only question was how much it was vibrating
Ok i don't raid so I have BiS for what I'm gunna get

How logs work do we just parse lower when we spec gets nerfs or?
is this some deez nuts joke
Logs work like a stat sim, don't do it
I use branch + sandglass
Stat weights and pawn is all I live for

As long as you’re not getting rank 1 parses or 0 parses then it is kinda meh
It took me a good 15 clicks before I realised it was meant to be like bubble wrap

I'm popping

this feels like minesweeper, click all the pops before you click a nut
Thought it was some kind of hidden message
at some point it would be an emote or something
it's pixel art
but you have to make the image yourself
I've got some dank pixel art on my single player minecraft world
What does this look like to you?
how about other encounters?
Like one of those personality tests
it's abstract
Certainly
two bears high fiving

my moms fifth wedding
Looks like a 3 laid down flat, like a 3% nerf or something
kind of disappointed there weren't any nuts in the bubblewrap
alright
!up
time to resume leveling
oh god
U sure u can kill mobs with 3% nerf?
not on nerf day
about to find out

i actually did die to a rare yesterday while in draenor lol
Time to game some world quests Whispyr
I only parse 100 on world quests
I'm opening maplestory, I'm at work, sorry can't answer any questions anymore
what even is this game
never heard of it
If we do 3% damage when this patch comes out, how much less damage will we be doing?
the daggers in the icon are christmas trees
it's a majestic piece of shit
Also that world quest sim option coming along or?
can't be real
Would u say its fallen off about 3%?
I peaked in high school
I peaked in elementary school

i still think assassins are cooler than cowboys and pirates, but i can't help but wonder
what about shadow clones?
Is 3% less damage impactful still if I have 34% crit?
ehhhhhh
Is Sin still the best spec to play in raid and M+?
the whole pirate thing is dumb af. Give me combat back.
Anyone else doing 3% less damage all of a sudden? Trying to comb through my logs and figure it out
the only time i think shadow clones is cool is if we can make a SHIT ton of them
at 34% crit it's about a 3.0126% nerf actually
i want an army of me's
I’m doomed
it's why i think windwalker is garbage
My guild might kick me
Please don't
I'm playing sin because I couldn't decide between ninjas and pirates
best decision paralysis of my life
why do people call it sin
Hopefully next xpac when they bring out the new sub classes one is called naruto
be funny and call it ass
assasSIN
anyway man i cannot lie
ass^2in
you guys are like the windwalker players, most helpful, godbless
Oh wait I’m in smolderon sub prison kekw
I send a question in BM discord 3 hours ago
At least we are more civilised then dh discord
There hasn't been a message since
oh wait it just didn't load
i would imagine bm discord is filled only with "which pet is best" discussions
ahHAHAAH
They got 3? I’m counting 2
i mean i like bm as a spec tbh
is there a bis pet?
per like pet family thing
Poodle is bis tmog pet
I like the idea of playing a hunter because my hunter tmog is sick
take that back
That's about the only reason
damn errone rerollin now
you can pet him? oh shit
yes
every time i tried hunter id get the raptor from the wotlk dungeon
big
or a gorilla or smt
if you wanna pet Razhan, you have to physically walk into the dungeon in normal mode
some mail mogs slap man
(yes I called it Zylvah because it was kinda like sylvanas so what bozos)
oh i also rly like the insect pets
i hate most insect pets i'll be honest
I farm cockroaches irl
Ur Hunter looks like a rogue
im not dropping asssa until im 3k io
It feels like home
quick question
Good
why does io matter
well well well
maybe boost a DH whenever i get ww but im not touching the dh discord
You will have many questions dear apprentice
like from my perspective, i've never understood io
isn't the number of X keys you've cleared an indication of your skill?
U dont understand wa's
I am not suprised
Not the number but what level of key
It's basically a measurement of penis size
But it actually matters
i had a single visual misunderstanding about one weak aura. the rest is me not being able to utilize them the way most people do because my brain just won't look at the bigass icons in front of me, it just automatically goes to my hotbar
If io wasn't a thing u would never ever be able to pug anything
right, X keys. how many of X level key have you done
not rly
I only ever look at their highest key done and the highest key done for the dungeon they apply for
Its just highest key per dungeon, with Fort/Tyr split
I have never looked at amount of 20+ runs for example
Doing the same key 20+ 10 times doesnt give more IO
i'm running on the assumption, then, that io calculates based on more than just key level and number completed then?
no
Number completed is irrelevant
Highest key done for each dungeon for tyran and fortified
if u have done a 20 darkheart fortified, and do 200 19 darkheart fortified your io will go up a grand total of 0
then why would you care about it if there's such an information gap? i know i'm missing something here
Then they can see, oh this guy can obviously do these keys
If they know u have done 200 +20's who cares
aren't players able to see what keys you've completed with default ui?
IO is in default wow
what does the addon actually do?
Addon shows the highest key and highest for current dungeon iirc, + the number of timed per bracket
Default wow is only ilvl and IO
it definitely does imo
but I would much rather look at their highest done
Ideally you just combine both info
i could have swore default told you what the highest key someone has done is
if someone got a 27 done but 3k io I am picking him over a 24 max with 3200 io
easily
the rio addon also gives main stats for alts
oh yea that do be important
technical question. does the addon only calculate io based on keys you've completed with it installed, or can it check your backlog and calculate based on keys you've done before you had it?
2nd
that's actually super cool
IO is blizzard based, not addon based
think of IO akin to CSGO rank, LoL rank, chess elo, etc
if u got it or not
please don't do this to me i play league
oh god no i can't unthink that
you fauck
It is elo
i can feel my inner elitist rising
for dungeons
you fuck
goddamnit
imagine if raider io was as rigorous as chess ELO
and the different cute colours are ranks
yea i mean it is elo
except you cant lose it
that isn't the issue i have
it's the fact it exists as that concept
my desire for beeg number is so astronomical
when it comes to ranking systems
yea u just lose irl sanity when u deplete instead
i like ELO as an idea
oh man id be insane in one weekend
ya know, i've never done super high keys, so i have to ask something for those of you who have
assume that you're doing a 20 key, you've got all the affixes at that point right?
20 is kinda md
ok and when you get to higher keys, the only difference is the damage and health increase for mobs right?
yes
So u got less time aka u gotta pull more so there is also a different mechanic check
so mechanically speaking, there is no functional difference. am i to assume, then, that the actual difficulty comes from having your cooldowns displaced more and more because you're spending more time healing and dpsing the same group of enemies?
I guess
most mechanics turn in to one shots the higher you get
U are ideally not spending more time for each mob
U just gotta be able to pull more
and live it
the higher you go the more you want liveable specs
Specially this season
i would imagine there reaches a critical mass point the higher you go then, where you CANNOT pull more to keep the key timed, cause you just don't have the raw healing and DR necessary to keep people alive
the passive damage gets out of control
This season is fucking demonic with mob health vs mob dmg
They have way too little health compared to dmg
Trust me it isn't
That aint how it is
All it does is predefine some specs to be absolutely unuseable because they can't live
Even tho they might do more dmg and have better util
this week is a wild example. Fort AND Bolstering, a combo that never shoudl exist
ye aman
not getting those 30min back
The best tanks are the ones that can help rest of group live
maybe 1hour if you queueing for higher keys
so just paladin
wait DEMON HUNTER helps the party live?
that class doesn't look like the helping type. what does it do?
And they got big cc for packs
im still surprised that bolster and fort is allowed to be a thing
i saw a video today about some guy saying bolster is an affix that can't be salvaged
I'm still suprised that bolster is allowed to be a thing*
what does it even do?
I wonder how much the dungeons completed chart goes down this week
give dmg to other enemies near ones u kill
well shit
Real quick becomes one shotty
uhhhhhhhhhhh i guess a pseudo way to take care of it is to cc important mobs away from the group then kill stuff?
sounds like infested
ingested is the single woest mechanci ever put in to dngeons
Maybe some very specific mobs with very specific pulls
Didn't play
L bozo
brign back baron salami affix
Only played during awakened which everyone loved
show mog
no it's bad
i am happy that the devs said we wanrt the dungeon mechanics to be front and center
not affixes
ok but did they actually deliver on that
people thought shadowlands would be better than bfa
what is this bowling alley strike display lmao
i am a pax dei fan, i am already overloade on copium
do you think they'll add a new class in 11.0?
TINKER PLEASE
but we already have engineering crafter
I would also accept a rogue tank
show mog
no it's bad
that uses staffs
show mog

I miss asmons transmog comps 😦
i am a set wearing Andy, i lack creativity
mind, this is literally only on me cause i'm leveling
can we really judge a non max lvl char tho
hell i'm in shadowmoon RIGHT NOW to go through black temple for a set of pants
same
speaking of mogs, i gotta find some people to go through nighthold mythic with me
i just wear mage tower set cos its shiny and bright
speaking of, if i go through mage tower now can i get alternate artifact appearance for weapon?
not anymore
sadge
man it's gonna be WEIRD if our world egg hatches
0 creativity
you're gonna see an npc named "Azeroth"
Same tho
I saw a paladin in Valdrakken the other day called Uther, no ASCII, no special symbols
and his title was The Lightbringer
I thought blizz banend direct copies of lore character names
probably some chinese character put in the name that the ui doesn't recognize and made it appear blank
bis mog

I still think I win
scana wannabe
looks a lot like that
full set andy

Not fully but so?
scana is a cutiepie
It looks great with belf zombie + venthyr tombstone back + sub artifact
That aint even close to mine 
i like this one but i haven't used it in a hot minute
I wanna get all up in those veneers kyle
meow for me
meow



im getting an irl pi rn


woof
dis what i been usin
I'm just rizzing myself a side piece
and i have the logs to prove it
DH looking ahh

and scana

yo it's fine, 1 girlfriend, 1 boyfriend
if weekends are for "the boys"
then I need to get myself some boys
ya know
it makes sense if you don't think about it
Thought u were egirl Scana
scana is an eboy
All my DM's for nothing
no
how much will the nerfs impact sin? in terms of %'s
3%
idk I still think u should sim that
2.9%
overall for aoe and st?
Doesn't sound right
3% to all abilities and auto attacks
and the external damage is minimal
so
sounds like 3% to me
Sim it or riot
Nice enhancement shaman
I'm too lazy to do all the overrides
link items plz ;D
for it to say 2.85% or whatever

and then will need to increase iterations
and then the sim takes forever
nah
fuck that noise

thats a lot of effort
if you have to ask what a 3% nerf is in numbers then the granularity of it being 3% of 2.9%
is actually irrelevant to you
wasn't there export thingy in the dressing room in wow 😄
a little too much of a desperado main fit but 
how do i put a dagger in my other hand in mog preview mode?
blizzzard: "it's a 3% nerf to everything assas rogue related"
chatter: "So numerically... how is this gonna affect our damage?
"
- moral impact nerf calc
ive been playing all night and havent even felt the nerf yet /s
its basically the blizz shop firebird set and the chest is from one of the nighthold bosses
yah
what kinda goofy ass
are we still bis PI target
burgerking crown went to mordor
is all that matters
this is the set i'm aiming to eventually make. i'm on the hunt as we speak
lookin ass
cause as soon as we aren't bis PI target, we lose everything
We lost pi target to uhdk, sin is basically dead now sadly. The nerf really ruined it all.
We're all just here to pay respects to what we all knew as sin rogue
just blackmail your priest? 
isn't like 99% of groups "the highest dps is usually the best player, not the best class?"
yeah but i mean like unironically, when sin no longer is a pi target, our nerf gets a bit bigger than 7%
i mean, any top logs of any spec are getting pi, so it doesnt really matter
If you want meta DPS just bail, if your here for haha funny dots go brrrr it doesn't matter tbh. Just play the 7% better so no pi isn't a DPS loss 
just pump and stop dooming, youre still not playing ww 
top logs dont matter, what matters is optimal
Wrong
and even then doesnt matter
????
what's the optimal way to use witherbark's branch?
i think outlaw is fine
change your name they don't have quacamole in france
I'm memeing

which one
what matters is I have to press my buttons perfectly, and im competing with a kill command spammer
Both hot
Whispyr never been to French Taco Bell and it shows

le bell a la taco
Wee
There's a note about it in wowhead but use with DM and pick up 2 orbs wait like 5s and pick up the 3rd. It will usually be referenced as 1/1/7 or 1/1/4. You just don't want to be too early because you will lose the buff on the last ticks of kb

Pooling Practice Tool
the alliance mog
is at least more original
bloodfang + EN shoulders
is like
83% of rogues
Whats poolinh practice
Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back
- If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
- Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
- Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
- With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
fair, i just got these shoulders to finally drop, same with back piece and matchign dagger
check tha video #assassination message
I'm more of a love is I the air gas mask + blood troll chest and pants + slime backpack kinda guy
That Bane au Natural
does nerf "all abilities" also refer to talents? such as caustic splatter or suddendemise
Indirectly yes?
Does vers gain value in M+ for sin?
yes
I mean the damage that is reflected by those things got nerfed by 3%
actually, I didn't think about it. I was wondering if 3% nerf would be a real 3% or less 🤣
Yep, its stupid question
It’s sad
Unholy dk gets to be crazy with pi for like 3 years now
And we get 2 weeks

Rogue players are the biggest victims, it's no longer boomkins and warlocks
Hey guys I was just thinking about coming back to the game but I just saw that sin got nerfed and the sky is falling so I'll just wait a bit longer
I just feel a pure dps spec should always be near the top
Rogue still is?
Because it’s all e we do
Sin is still goated
No I know we are still giga
give rogues brez 
Just not as
What's ur point then
I dunno if my dick was 3% less hard my wife would feel if I guess
And it’s not as nice
I think rogues die too fast, they should def give more survivability then it'll be fine if we do 3% less damage


😂😂
I'll never talk shit about #outlaw again I'm sorry
always have been bro
So . . Time to pick up sub now eh. Before the next inevitable nerf that pi and Aug will give us
i have to get a new one with shadowblade tho
M telling u, let outlaw be op, I'll deal with the masses
It's really just to help you guys out
man heck outlaw. outlaw spec go to hell 
this chat on balancing days is way more braindead than outlaw
I’ll help
it's incredible
i mean that lowkey was already the case prior to these changes if you cared about highend mythic progression
how one note in tuning blue posts
sub is infinitely better on smolderon, and makes a better prog spec on tindral as well
our survi is really high 😁🤣
craters the entire IQ of the channel
if you get the full simp, then yeah, its still good
could do a societal study on mass hysteria using class discord chat logs honestly
Yes
Yep. And yet we still get more nerfs despite not even being the strongest. . Because pi and Aug exist. Which unfortunately do way to well with the damage profile we have (and demo last tiwr)
what annoys me about this shit
Uh... whaT?
is that a class like demo or uhdk stays stupidly good for months, or entire patches
lmao
the funny part is most of the people crying about 3% probably don’t even play at a high enough level to feel the 3%
guess we had our 4weeks of fun
This is what I’m saying man
lowkey no one plays at that level
when the dps swing between pulls is like 10% completely uncontrollably
no one is gonna notice 3%
I’m still trying to feel the last 4.4% 
So is my wife
Ya demo kept their limelight for awhile as did dk. The other pi abusers. Were kicked out so fast.
nerfs don't hurt, but puglife after bluepost🤣🤣
make some fucking friends then idk
Do you think outlaws op in an m+ sense? I just don't like getting nerfs when it's been the only real time assa has had an m+ presence. This spec always gets fucked over due to raid performance lol
Mainly for forever guy
Sin is still very strong in raid
This will just give my raidleader another reason to force me to play sub on tindral 😦
And M+

my guild friends only play raids 😉
Strong enough yes. But now weaker than sub in probably most cases if I were to guess
It does the job. Not as well as OL but it’s capable if you feel like it
i gotta be honest with you on this one: why would you ever play assa if you can play sub, and let a hunter get PI on top, while doing same/more damage at this point?
is waycrest manor 1st boss bugeed for sin rogues?>
ive had multiple runs wherein after i get MC'd i cannt use skills
Even ww eqs technically strong enough outside bleeding edge. .
i dont wanna doom too much, but this fucking stinks
You could argue that Outlaw is too good in keys, personally I think there are a handful of good M+ specs right now and I think outlaw is just one of the good ones. Demo is good, havoc/bm are ofc good, sin has its usage still, ww just got some big buffs too
Outlaw could probably get a justified small nerf, but I'm not too invested in clases getting nerfed
like I get pugging stuff every now and then, but you're playing an mmo where all end game content is group-play. If you're unable to play the game because of pug meta you gotta figure it out
just join a guild lmao
Being in a guild is fun
it ain't the games fault
Just join a guild
yeah
Your thinking it's bad now? Wait till hero talents are released on ptr or 11.0 beta starts
All 3 spec channels on 5 min slowmode again

Even guilds will make you swap specs if the performance is noticeable enough. . Sin may lose pi and then the difference is noticeable
lol
I slammed a 10 min slowmode during 10.2 ptr
idc
I'll do an hour if I have to
I remember that, that was fun.
someone got irritated 😆😆, I'm just kidding, dps is always difficult to get into the group, unless there's a DH or aug
He's gone wild with power
??

yea i understand that take forsure appreciate the insight. Just wish sin could have its time to shine in keys a little longer
Even with dh/Aug it's annoying unless also a paladin or druid for bres
Idk, I pug 100% of my keys bc I’m anti social af, and I haven’t had any issues not playing outlaw
I'm just a little sad that they are shoving us towards sub. I feel like sin kind of lost its place when sub is stronger ST.
Agreed
yeh I mean it's kinda irritating cause every time any blue post with tuning gets posted it's the same shit "oh no, insert spec name got insert way to say decreased damage, now I can't pug every again and I'm gonna be sitting in queue for 5 hours unable to do anything
even as a joke
it's just
so old at this point
Sub also has better cd alignment in some cases and a less rigid burst that leaves more room open to adapt
At the start of 10.2
Plus better survival
ive been an exclusive sin player since like mop and ive never had issues pugging keys by myself or anything so 
yall overconcerned about a meta. just play what you want 
Pre any nerfs
It still took 5 hours to get into pug groups
with decent io
Like it's just how it is with pugs sometimes
nerfs didn't cause that
I t hink the fact that sin has good synergy with aug, and PI gives it something worth building comps around still
I legit hate Pi, i think pi should be removed from the game completly.
I think keys aren't in a super coordinated spot atm, and sin requires some optimal setups still
I think it has a pretty good niche there as a battery for externals
well gonna keep pushing as sin still currently at the 25 range but just a lil disheartening
bruh it's 3 percent
dead spec
people acting like blizz came to their house and kicked their dog
They totally did! Trust me bro
The annoying part is that people come in here and try to use PI as a crutch for just being ass
as if doing bad dps is because they don’t get PI
on top of the already 2% dungeon nerf. Stop dismissing the bigger picture but yes its still not much in the end
I've always been a no sayer to pi. I don't think it has a place in wow. I played warlock last tier, it felt so bad not getting pi if you lacked a priest. I think pi creates more issues among the community than it does good for the game.
I mean yeh, if I'm being real for a second, it's my "job" if you wanna call it that to educate and optimize and give info to the community through my guides and streams and videos etc, it's not my job to do damage control and monkey-wrangling. There comes a time in a patch cycle with heavy rogue changes where there's 20 gorillas in the cage and one of me. So what can I do?
- I could start mass-muting for dooming, which then people would get butthurt and "it's just a joke man" and I have to sift through dozens of DM's of people taking the anger and doom they had pointed at the tuning, but now pointed at me directly. Not really a vibe
- I could slam a fat slowmode on the entire channel and the regulars and lurkers won't really care too much because they just read the pins and move on, while the angry horde has to vent their frustrations 15 minutes at a time and can't scream into the internet for free
- I could do nothing and let the server burn to the ground
for me that's an obvious choice
Understandable
letting the server burn would legit benefit everyone the most
na not a chance
On a real slowmode is low key the most helpful tool
We would all be free
True enough. I usually don't get either and so just fine. But when it's as far behind sub as it will be. Plus less defensive on top?. What's the point
would be more helpful if people took it seriously and didn't just start memeing that they're pooling energy irl
but yeh
slowmode good
It’s only behind sub in certain situations though. If you played sin well, you’ll still play well after the 3% nerf
It is unavoidable
Ye basically
Sin still pretty good against some of the fights in there. Its not a completly dead spec lol
Theres no real "good" option when it comes to controlling extremely irrational people
Sin is still very good
We got 15 minutes to think about some stupid shit to write, so it's honestly your fault 
Idk why ppl think a 3% nerf makes sin bad
Sin does jobs in raid
It does its job very good
If you play the game through WCL, yeah a 3% nerf kills the speec
Nobody who knows what they are talking about views the game, in the WCL page
Thats how my raidleader plays the game though. 😦
Educate him then

Thats your job
That's how u get 1984'd huh Guy
He points at big number, why u no do dis number?

my raid lead asked my why i dont do rwf rogue numbers 😭
Then explain the game to him then
U dont need to explain the game to people
Will it be a big enough nerf to miss bosses etc? No. But it's already a little behind sub outside niche scenarios. Add in that 3%. Idc if I'll still do fine on sin. I don't see the point in just playing sub. I'd need to addicted to sin to justify lower damage, lower survival, and a more strict burst window.
They would know if they cared
Hes also comparing logs from nov (pre-nerf and pre-aug hooks fixes) to my logs. 😄
"You mean the numbers with 3 aug and 2 PI boss?"
this is always such a weird thing to me where are people are like "my raidleader is gonna force me to X" or whatever micro-managing raidleader thing you wanna use.
My response deadass would just be "didn't realize you were the one playing rogue"
I am my RL, all i ask is why i can't get a mythic track dagger
Then explain the game to him
been pooling energy all of november just for you
"energy"
Then just go play sub my dude
why the fuck is your raidlead managing you
I was about to say
you're the expert

tell them to fuck off
Dude can eat a dick
you're the rogue player
If I ever got told to play a spec, without them having a perfect reasoning I would unironically just insta find another guild
the moment someone tries to force me to play outlaw, they get gkicked
Yeah I mean, solve ur own problems bro
If ur issue is social issues idk
Figure it out
Not the games job to be balanced so you don't have to communcate with your team
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Most likely will. Blizz has spoken on which spec they wish to he stronger. Just going to be a week or two of practice. . No sub guides even close to whysper for sin
i mean ill be honest, ive been OTPing for such a long time now, and even i am looked at now and asked "why are you still playing assa, isnt sub just better?" and i make my arguments and its just called cope. doesnt feel particularly great.
Yo
that's my art you got there
There is no way
U have been told
to play sub
right now?
my copium, is that if we take the nerf now, we can be stronger again next patch
surely not right?
on smolderon/tindral? absolutely
💀
imagine not just playing the spec you wanna play and saying youre being forced to play something else bc "my rl said so :("
I'm still in smolderon prison.
Smolderon maybe possibly in some world
Oh really ? I just searched for sin rogue in Google
Very nice art
But also sin is just the 2nd best spec for smolderon
@marble hemlock
That is actually wild to me
I thought you raidlead your guild no? Maybe i remember wrong.
yeah a friend commissioned it based on my belf at the time as a birthday present 2 years ago
that a sin rogue in current patch (specially a long time main) is being asked to switch
well sure but its worse by a significant margin, and if you struggle on tswift roots damage because your WL has 2 left hands, then not playing sub is kinda troll on that fight as well
whispyr can you chill out with the skills please, got a whole population out here feeling inadequate
what I do
I just remember hearing max and scripe talk about the sin vs sub for tindral
seli beat me on smolderon I'm washed up dude
Damn, is there something you can't do
it's joever
and was 99% sure that they said sin is better for roots
if you pop dm on pull, then its up like 5seconds into the shield in p2, and your KB will be up exactly as the roots are spawning, so you basically have no KB caustic spread either unless you desync your CDs or do some rancid blessing of autumn shit
or fuck your opener on purpose
Haven't looked at anything myself yet we only just got to smoldy
I mean accepting a birthday present I guess is a skill

obviously I didn't draw my own birthday present
timers for mythic tindral are really fucking awkward to play honestly
Maybe your just very lonley and wanted a bday present? 😮
u guys dont give yourself presents?

mostly because the opener takes so long to do, that by the time you actually press KB, youre so deep int othe fight that it fucks with all the subsequent timers you want it for
im kinda thinking just doing some scuffed opener on tindral just so i get CDs to line up better for the rest of the fight
so just accelerate it like everyone else
I mean looking at WCL sub is still doing slightly better than sin on tindral, but there isent really a huge pool of logs so its hard to say for someone like me who didn't start prog on him yet. :C
to be fair, by the way you said "my art" i assumed you made it
sub just does way better root damage if they play for it, which can make progression a lot easier. with the recent nerfs it might not be as required
and again, theres other classes that are better at it than rogue, mostly hunter, DH, WL
oh actually a decent ish amount
Wait
There are like a lot more sub than sin parses
didn't expect that at all
Didnt kush play Sub on Tindral?
"a lot" is an overstatment though
Totally different topic, but how important is pooling
How much am i losing by spamming abilities till 0 eneegy
holy
i did, it arrived with bent pins, and is currently waiting for manufacturer to repair/replace but they closed intil 7th January
Average LFR enjoyer
singlehandedly sandbagging to dodge nerfs
assa isnt bad on the fight
same as it isnt bad on smolderon
