I dont have it macroed because I'm not tight on keybinds

#

with how sin is currently

rugged sphinx
#

In single target, if rupture is going to fall off during kingsbane, should i reapply rupture beforehand to avoid applying it during kingsbane?

dark token
#

Usually

#

Unless it's gonna fall off during the latter half of window, u can reapply it during the window

pure comet
#

Should I get CT or poison bomb for m+ ~20

#

See a lot of variation

#

Or personal preference

#

formal juniper
pure comet
#

Alright

formal juniper
#

Also, with how unreliable sudden demise is in actually applying the lethal damage, CT can force it to execute the target

crimson zephyr
#

whats the talent called giving aoe blind?

formal juniper
#

In my experience, sudden demise only sometimes 'checks' if you're above 150%. But applying a new bleed/refreshing will always force it to 'check'

formal juniper
crimson zephyr
#

and wasnt there some talent for evasion also reducing dmg?

pure comet
#

I understand, thanks

formal juniper
#

Elusiveness

crimson zephyr
#

thanks

#

and which talent makes it that garrote and rupture affect 3 enemies after stealth?

Crit haste ring if possible

arctic socket

Just go craft one lol

#

Imma be forced to craft one myself

thorn fjord
#

Funny of you to think i have any aspects to spare

arctic socket

I can’t upgrade my gear because of drakes

thorn fjord
#

Already cleared that hurdle this week

crimson zephyr
#

ah have it ty

arctic socket
#

Big I word, carnage

#

Indiscriminate carnage

crimson zephyr
#

Does it make sense to take indiscrimnate carnage and airborne irritate for fyrakk? we have a bit of problem with those ads. figure respeccing might help here abit.

#

do non-lethal poison work for bosses? Does make sense for raiding?

grave dirge
#

is there anyway to get details to not break down a target dummy session into tons of entries?

arctic socket
#

Do you have your vanish or shadow dance up during those adds?

prisma monolithBOT

whole mason
#

has the tier set bug been reported?

spice spire
#

Which one?

whole mason
#

2pc reduce auto attack damage

arctic socket
#

If your tank is moving the adds right, you should be fine with just using splatter

spice spire
#

I don’t think so Hmm

grave dirge

#

!bugs

prisma monolithBOT
crimson zephyr
#

I thought about swapping master poisoner with airborne irritate but I lack the knowledge regarding non letahl poison in raids.

crimson zephyr
arctic socket
#

Splatter makes your poisons deal aoe damage

#

Are you wanting to silence them with iron wire?

crimson zephyr
#

but thanks for the input

spice spire
whole mason
#

this is the log

#

I'm not sure if I should ping the man

#

2pc reduce autoattack damage 1% per stack approximately.

#

tested with 1damage weapon

thorn fjord
#

hmm

#

no proc except the sandgalss, which is irrelevant

if AA gets us 5.3%, 12% is about .636%. So... not a big deal anyway

arctic socket
#

So our tier set is bugged

#

And we are getting a 3% nerf

#

Wooo

spice spire

What is this the doom and gloom hour

arctic socket

It’s finish looking at that log hour

Anyone know caustic spatter's range?

raven egret
formal juniper
#

I think its 10-15yds, its surprisingly large but wanted an actual number

spice spire
#

As ic

#

12 yards I think tho

formal juniper
#

does acro increase any of those effects or just auto attack/melee abilities

spice spire
#

Just autos

gilded oasis
#

acro doesn't increase caustic

I'm wanting to take Acrobatic Strikes for m+ as i'm often finding myself a step or two too far away from adds. What here can I chop n change?

up to you which you want to drop. I find it better for me to drop deeper side

some people here like to drop tea

How long of a list will I have to tell him tonight

spice spire
#

But two logs show the exact same thing

arctic socket

Not very I sent it already

Can I give you another log to review

@gilded oasis Why are you this way dog

gilded oasis

IDK man

#

I'd review logs but only thing I know to look at is KB sequence and uptime and wasted CP and wasted energy and general rotation

arctic socket

Can y’all rate my drawing c:

is porcelain crab actually good for sin in M+

gilded oasis
spice spire
#

That’s more than most people know

spice spire
#

Tbf I do like 80% log reviews and usually catch the major shtick. I ain’t gonna lie.
Otherwise I go global for global on them. And cba

gilded oasis
#

I know what im supposed to do, I just dont do it

spice spire
#

Ur so real for that

slate crown
spice spire
#

I just have old man hands

gilded oasis
#

Just be like me and do ranged mechanics. Look at all my downtime

#

I took a nap midway through

spice spire
#

Nice surprised the cats let you

gilded oasis
#

They were snoozin too

prime ocean
spice spire
#

What’s significant

prime ocean
#

Good point, guess it's subjective XD

gilded oasis
#

Uh I think it's a weird.. like yeah technically like percent or two loss? But in reality it's a gain usually since you actually are getting more uptime by not being out of range

#

I think whispyr has the math somewhere

prime ocean
#

Okay fab!

spice spire
#

Yeah that’s what I mean

#

Some people you say it’s a few percent

raven egret
#

I dont know, theres no situation where I needed Acro to hit anything this season

gilded oasis
#

Like in the dawn dungeons I like to take it

spice spire
#

And you’d think it was doomsday

#

Other times people are like ā€œutility is sick, thanks!ā€

gilded oasis
#

Just play with it yourself and see how it feels. Unless your pushing r1/title it probably doesn't matter

#

Dh and BM doing all the dam anyways

raven egret
#

Well we still have more power-related talents in our Class tree than say... Shamans do for example. So we're still s bit railroaded on the last nodes of the tree

#

Don't send kingsbane right before she goes immune, use it on intermission adds instead

#

That's about it

#

A "not in range" WA is also helpful I guess

If you don't already have one

What scales better on aoe, vers or crit?

Go play sub for acro

#

Is my suggestion

#

Nerfed sin with 3% less dam from acro isn't competing very well with sub

dark token
#

Legit if I have to take acro or don't get PI it's a sub angle

thorn fjord
#

We killed Lar so its a sub angle for me now

dark token
thorn fjord
#

If i really enjoy it i'll prob just keep playing on twsift

dark token

It's actually chill when you play it enough

thorn fjord

I've always enjoyed it

Acro helps a lot on tswift imo

For full dominance

The mage treatment?

can you guys please tell me why there are so many fkn stealth problems in tott whats the solution?

With the new nerf how close is sub / sin

Ran a key with a sub yesterday and mans was cracked

Super toxic tho lmao

arctic socket

#

Are you running with a mw monk or Aug evoker

quaint hull
#

YES I AJ M

slim pebble
#

I think sub rogues are closet DHs

arctic socket
dark token
#

They have abilities that can knock u out of stealth

#

If a monk status channels on u prepull

errant swallow

Or if aug evoker legendary buff falls off

quaint hull

FFS

dark token
#

It's prob the monk tho

arctic socket

That one dude that posted a monk parse

He’s gonna be happy

quaint hull

im getting kncoked out of stealth the entire dungeon

stiff pivot
dark token
#

Evoker knocking me out is really rare

#

But monk happens like 1-2x a key

#

Until I tell em to stop

arctic socket
dark token
#

Or if you are using sarkareth cloak

#

That also drops u

#

!stealth

spice spire
#

!stealthbreak

prisma monolithBOT

Stealth can break from:

  • evoker leggo buff (Unbound Surge) dropping
  • Essence trinket on buff gain
  • Voice of the Silent Star (Sark cape)
  • Misterweaver soothing mist when talented into unison (spec capstone)
  • Blossom of Amirdrassil (trinket) initial hot dropping/spreading
  • Vicious brand (Signet trinket self damage)

can we solo soack the charge with evasion on counsil of dreams or isnt that a option on mythic ?

slim pebble

I need to main something where I can consistently get into keys since I don’t have as much time as I used to

So that’s why DH swap

i used to play ww when fof was like

60% of your damage

stiff pivot

and you couldnt move during

stiff pivot

fof is fine. it's also a good way to get your energy back while you're channeling

spice spire

dunno how that ugly ass skill made it through

spice spire
#

All I know is pain

arctic socket
#

I just remember monks tapping me in pvp

waxen oyster
#

i was more impressed they got faeline in DF

#

and not weapons of order

slim pebble

I rerolled monk in s1 shadowlands when rogue was deadge when you could clip FoF and have your clones still do it

getting onetapped by monk wasnt that rare tbf

i played my monk alt in season 2

#

and killed some really bad rogue through his vanish because hit 2 sck procs

I liked to play arms warrior and just kinda stick on someone like a one of those annoying tourist scammers

ehh i find warrior boring in those

cause he feels like it

why dont you ask him why he plays things

we aren't mindreaders

instead of the streamer themselves

Is sin good in m+ pugs

#

yes it was

#

No one fucking played faeline all expac

#

Or liked it

waxen oyster
#

i genuinely think the kyrian monk ability

whole mantle
waxen oyster
#

was neat tbh

dark token
#

Kyrian and necrolord were all monks used all expac and more fun

whole mantle
#

becouse is very AOE

waxen oyster
#

venthyr was an mw thing

dark token
#

Why tf they add faeline

whole mantle
#

other ones have much more priority targets

waxen oyster
#

actually venthyr ww was a thing on sl beta

#

when it was giga overtuned

whole mantle
#

you guys think ww will be good?

#

i was thinking play with it again

stable storm
#

TLDR CT when needs more AOE cleave when prio st

whole mantle
#

yes

#

or when have a demonhunter on a pt

dark token
whole mantle
#

:v

dark token
#

I have 0 faith in ww devs to do the right thing

#

If it ever becomes good it's an accident

#

It's often forgotten and clunkier every tier

#

Shame because the core fantasy and rotation is so good

storm monolith
#

Ww?

whole mantle
#

in sl i play a lot, was fun

#

😦

waxen oyster
#

idk

#

bonedust brew was an abomination

#

and dance of chiji

whole mantle
#

remember when bone dist can crit?

#

was disgusting

#

haahaha

storm monolith
#

Oh windwalker

dark token
waxen oyster
#

entire necro ww design was disgusting

dark token
#

I liked both bdb and kyrian

waxen oyster
#

slot machine just do infinite aoe

dark token
#

Aoe blast spinning was fun

waxen oyster
#

spamming sck ignoring mastery

dark token
#

It was a short window to ignore mastery and you needed proper setup

#

Kinda challenging to execute quickly in a raid env

waxen oyster
#

i just hate severe rng swings

#

like dance provided

storm monolith
dark token
#

Chi ji was kinda dumb but the core spin2win was fun imo

waxen oyster
#

legion variant was more fun

dark token
#

And sck is a way more fun button to press than most rogue abilities

#

Visually very satisfying for the dmg

whole mantle
#

before the single buffs, i died 3 times on the last boss of necrotic wake when he pulls you to 1v1 with the add :v

storm monolith
#

I dont remember much about ww. Honestly I'd like it if it were heavily auto attack based, with abilities that count as auto attacks

whole mantle
#

was impossible to solo this add

#

0 single damage

waxen oyster
#

idk

#

that add just melted last i recall

#

bte crackshot is fun now imo even if its heavily rng to get a chain

dark token
#

You must be the guy they design these autoattack WW tier sets for

storm monolith
#

I didn't know it was auto attack based now

balmy condor
#

what a terrible day to have eyes

storm monolith
#

I want it to be similar to assassin rogue, but instead of dots your abilities count as autos and make you auto even faster. Maybe make the gameplay loop something akin yo your burst windows are "triple your auto attack speed and make them do a shit ton of damage"

thorn fjord
#

KERMIT NOOOOOOOO

storm monolith
#

Instead of calling me cringe would someone explain why the idea is not something you enjoy?

balmy condor
#

I mean where do I begin lmao

thorn fjord
#

First off you're playing Monk

storm monolith
#

Getting a haircut I'll be back

balmy condor
#

auto attacks are just

balmy condor
#

not something that should be played around

dark token
#

That suggestion is not even similar to assa at all

#

And monks historically don't care about autos at all

balmy condor
#

swing timers especially on 1 handed classes

unique sorrel
#

auto attacks imply theyre passive by design

if i wanted a passive game id go play cookie clicker

dark token
#

One of the weakest autoattk melee

balmy condor
#

are super difficult to play around

#

yeh that's problem #2

winter glade
#

With the M+ build in keys if your tank chain pulls and you cant open from stealth to spread bleeds are you best served by FoK and rupturing all targets individually? Blow vanish and open from stealth to easily get the bleeds out but then not have for use with KB?

balmy condor
#

it's just all passive

dark token
#

Or like 4 into 4

winter glade
#

Yes

balmy condor
dark token
#

If he's chaining 4 into 4 ur chilling

balmy condor
#

don't bother going for kb crit with vanish in aoe

#

ain't worth it

dark token
#

Sin is good in that scenario

#

Maintain 5 ruptures with fok + CT if you don't have access to a dance window or vanish

balmy condor
#

only if you have scent

dark token
#

If he is chaining 1 mob into 4 tell him he's an idiot

#

Cause it's bolster week

#

And if he waits 10s more you will do way more opener dam and silence the next pack to group it

unique nymph
#

Guys, in ur opinion what is best plater profile for assa rogue?

winter glade
#

so if vanish is down and i am in that scenario i post up 5 ruptures on targets manually and then CT

balmy condor
#

you'd want to maintain CT

#

and spread gar/rup for energy

#

the bleeds you have on the previous pack will give you energy back

#

so it won't be terrible

unique sorrel
#

plater's one of those funny things that you just gotta sit and tweak and test forever till you find one that fits

dark token
#

I like jundies plater

unique sorrel
#

there's no "answer"

ebon summit
#

do I refresh and spread ruptures in aoe during kingsbane, or just garrote then envenom?

storm forum
#

good morning class-place associates

balmy condor
patent snow
#

Seconded Jundies, I like it quite a bit.

balmy condor
#

both are fine, if the pack is living a long time the rupture might be slightly better

#

envenom is more up front damage obviously

#

just gotta make a decision

storm forum
#

how much crit rating would we need to get 70% so we have 100% crit with MA?

old halo
#

im a fan of rupturing late for the energy and SD proc when pug tanks are chain pulling in mid-range keys

ebon summit
#

ty Ill try it out some more and try to get a hang of when to do what ^^

storm forum
balmy condor
#

looks like around 11.5k

#

on gear

dark token
#

Idk if that's even possible

balmy condor
#

with crit flask and double crit weapon runes, and a druid for crit buff

dark token
#

Isn't druid vers

balmy condor

oh it's definitely not possible lmao

#

idk

#

either way

#

all the crit things

#

11.5k on gear

#

gg

I never thought I'd miss 50% MA

But here we are

Good tradeoff

royal lantern
#

nah

#

fuck dance

balmy condor
#

I haven’t rechecked since nerfs or whatever but 30% MA was still insanely strong

dark token
#

Dance is nice

storm monolith
#

I thought high auto attack speed would be cool sadge

#

But you make fair points

#

Game is way more high octane than it used to be, and with how button spammy everything is, something focused on autos would comparatively be boring

quick pagoda
#

anyone know if sudden demise accounts for crit rating? i've looked everywhere and cant find anything on it

old halo
#

i believe it does, ive had some huge SD procs

storm monolith
#

Oh oh what about this

#

What if they made it for ww so that if you press buttons in specific orders your get different effects?

quick pagoda
#

i imagine if it did work it wouldnt be a proc, it would work like augury or brewmaster shields and just increase the threshold by your crit chance

storm monolith
#

Like 123 gives you bonus damage on 3, 213 gives you a cool down reset on 3, 312 gives you a buff for 20 seconds that increases your auto speed (which will generate more energy from a passive or something), etc

#

Unrelated note: is there a time when we use the poison that slows?

patent snow
#

That would be hard to balance imo.

static glacier
balmy condor
#

Idk what I’m thinking

storm monolith
#

Speaking of crit, does each individual poison tic roll for a crit, or are all tics crits if the initial application was a crit?

balmy condor
#

Each tick

storm monolith
#

Ok so this is wholly, fundamentally different from ff14

#

Almost nothing snapshots

balmy condor
#

Correct

storm monolith
#

Awesome to know. Thank you

balmy condor
#

The only snapshot that exists is nightstalker atm

patent snow
#

I'm not great at deciphering the spread sheet. Is it saying Putlaw KiR is the superior spec for keys?

#

Outlaw that is

storm monolith
#

OutputLaw

balmy condor
#

If you consider dungeonslice to be 1 to 1 indicative of spec quality, then yeah

#

Outlaw kir would be the highest simming

storm monolith
#

Did my first keys yesterday by the way

patent snow
#

But in practice it doesn't necessarily play out that way?

balmy condor
#

There’s way too many variables in a key

storm cloak
#

How much of a loss is the non dance build?

storm monolith
#

I gotta say, I don't know AMYTHING about how to play this spec right. But I'm having fun

patent snow
#

I'm having difficulties keeping AR above 65%, so I was considering trying Assass. Thank you for the help.

#

Yeah that makes sense.

storm monolith
#

Being able to garrote and rupture three people at once was game changing

haughty lily
#

how important is it to pop kingbane during the envenom buff window?

quick pagoda
#

i guess no one knows?

storm monolith

I mean I was under the impression you always used KB during shiv, SD, and envenom window

haughty lily

depending envenom window expires tho

Heya ... sophic or wafting for weapon enchants ? Or is there a criteria that should be met when choosing ?

if sudden demise accounts for crit

it does not

I think they'll overall be minimal damage increases. From the article: "Hero Talents are meant to add enough damage or healing throughput to be significant without being so important that these new talents overshadow your current class and spec tree talents."

so we'll still feel like our own class, just with cool visual things, class fantasy stuff

What about the cliffnotes

whatever the hero talents are, i'm sure they'll make stealth more important in dungeons

balmy condor
#

cliffnotes are mostly just pointless to any gameplay loop, overcomplicated for no reason, insanely hard to balance

#

like the bleed poison bomb

#

the answer was "so it could benefit from shiv twice"

storm monolith
#

See, now that gives me zero reason to put any trust in your credibility on the subject. Granted, you don't owe me anything and you don't have to prove anything to me, but for most people, being told "your idea sucks" without giving an explanation makes them just not care about your stance. I do acknowledge, however, you don't have all day to explain to every jackass with an idea why they're dumb.

balmy condor
#

lets say that it would, even though it wouldn't

#

bro shut the fuck up

I'm literally explaining it right now

balmy condor
#

jesus

#

so the blood poison bomb

past forum
#

i would like to hear why i'm stupid

balmy condor
#

even if it did double dip, which is already breaking conventions of things to begin with

#

it would only be when connected to a capstone, which is fine

thorn fjord
#

lmaoooooooo

balmy condor
#

but "make it bleed"

thorn fjord
#

!whispyr

balmy condor
#

has WAY more inplications

#

like if it double dips off shiv

#

does it double dip mastery?

#

it should

#

mastery is bleed and poison

#

shiv would be bleed and poison

#

that would be consistent

#

if it's a bleed, does it give energy from venomous wounds?

nova kelp
#

look, I just want to be able to be one of these guys
then I'll be happy

balmy condor
#

would make sense, it ticks like a bleed

#

but that's obviously not something you can just slap on poison bomb

#

you'd be getting back hundreds of energy near instantly, every time it procs

past forum
#

maybe fatestalker has intent to kill as the keystone and the whole tree is shadowstep focused

balmy condor
#

it doesn't have any change on the gameplay loop

#

whatsoever

#

you don't do anything different inherently

storm monolith
#

Yeah that makes sense

balmy condor
#

but the outcome is that you just buffed poison bomb to be easily half the spec

#

for no good reason

#

could've had the same effect by just buffing its damage or proc rate

spice spire
#

Legion time?

balmy condor
#

and you would've gotten there

#

but even then, lets say that it's balanced somehow

#

the issue is that because of how strong that would be

#

you're creating such a delta between having that effect, and not having that effect

#

that poison bomb would be actually unplayable without the synergy

past forum
#

turbo juice poison bomb so you feel extra bad when it doesnt proc at good times

balmy condor
#

it becomes entangled to the effect

#

which is super duper no go for design

nova kelp
#

Whispyr has been poison bombed, he's enraged

balmy condor
#

talents have a range of gain that they're allowed to be

arctic hare
#

well, we were 5 seconds off timing my first 21 of the season...

balmy condor
#

specifically to prevent stuff from getting out of control

arctic hare
#

Truly a sad day, but hey, I can technically time 21's now, whoot

balmy condor
#

that's why things like carnage only spread to 2 additional targets right

#

like could it spread to "all nearby"

#

sure

#

people would love that

spice spire
#

This is honestly not even mad whispyr

nova kelp
#

lol

arctic hare
#

but then we'd have the 45 cd back, which is why it was limited, right?

storm monolith
#

So the idea is to keep the talent within a specific damage gain range percent wise, while also notably changing ehat you're actually doing in terms of enemy priorities and ability prio

balmy condor
#

but it's clearly an unrealistic thing

nova kelp
icy acorn
#

embersoul was 3 sec into kb right?

gray raven
#

also maybe some cool class fantasy - maybe deathstalker looks cool and is fun

#

would that be so bad

nova kelp
#

cool and theme/thematics are flavour, you can fit that onto literally anything, that's a separate discusson to what you'd hope to see in a talents impact

storm monolith
#

I'm trying to think of something involving shadowstep, but I'm having problems with the fact that I hate tying utility to damage gains, and the fact I think that ability is more tied to sub than anything

#

I was thinking of a talent like "using shadowstep reduces the cool down of vanish by ten seconds" but that sits kinda raw with me cause I'll be real, vanish is kinda like a dps cooldown because of all the stealth benefits you get.

thorn fjord
#

Dust is a thing

#

You can play sub and get a similar interaction

#

Through vanish

shy heron
#

the first step was a thing in torghast

storm monolith
#

Oh oh. What about "using vanish increases evasion of nearby allies by 50%?"

balmy condor
# storm monolith So the idea is to keep the talent within a specific damage gain range percent wi...

the idea is that if you're making something impactful, be it rotationally or damage wise, it has to come with a design space that makes that choice apparent to the player.

Kingsbane is very strong, but it's a cooldown and new button to press and something you change how you play around. Holding shiv charges, maintaining envenom, combining with deathmark or dragon tempered blades for more poison applications, tea for mastery, dance for snapshotting off nightstalker, master assassin for the crit, you have to track the time and plan your entire rotation around it. But that's why it's allowed to be like a 12-14% talent. You could do the same thing with for example improved poisons. Instead of a 5% increased chance, you could just say "all hits apply poisons". That would be the dumb version, because poison application doesn't really impact your decision making at all. Neither does something like venom rush, although it impacts your energy/resource economy, it's not something you have to make a decision on, so it's not allowed to be strong. Caustic is really strong, but there's steps involved to it. You can only have one, so you're picking a target, it has to have rupture on it, you have to mutilate/ambush in a situation you normally wouldn't be doing that, then you have to maintain that debuff and track the timer on it, you have to continue to hit that target through the duration in order to get damage from caustic. There's choices and decisions involved, which allows caustic to be strong.

Something like "your fan of knives has a chance for more fan of knives" would then fall back under the not impactful part. Maybe those tiny fan of knives could give combo points too, but.... not really though right? They'd then have to interact with seal fate and you would be basically full capping your combo points instantly when it procs, that's kinda weird, overcapping a billion cp all the time. So it can't interact with seal fate, but maybe it can generate the original 1 cp fok does. Depending on the chance for it to happen, maybe yeh. Could work. It could apply more poisons, that's fine. But does any of this actually impact you as the player? Not really. Generating more combo points and applying more poisons is generally a pretty passive thing, similar to the venom rush example. Seal fate giving cp on crit here is something to react to, but when your combo points are already random and reactionary based on crit, adding more rng on it doesn't do anything to change the feel of it. And that's why the thing we had, Echoing blades, was such a nightmare. By design, it wasn't allowed to be strong. It's just mini fan of knives. But assassination was so bad in mythic+ at the time that they said fuck it and made it just insanely strong. During that patch, we used finishers to refresh EP, not because they were worth using, and then we just kept spamming fan of knives, no rhyme or reason to it, no care for the combo points, just spam it because echoing blades was so crazy strong. And a lot of people look back at the patch and go "oh that was fun though, I enjoyed that patch, corruptions and running around with 75% crit passively or 90% haste yeah great stuff", but it was also the patch that brought a ton of specs to the breaking point gameplay wise. We were using crimson tempest in single target, spamming fan of knives with no regard for combo points, single target had so much energy it wasn't a resource you had to track anymore. Other specs and classes had that issue too, it just ripped at the seams because there was stuff that was far out of its intended budget and overwhelmed the gameplay loop on the specs, and blizzard has generally tried to be careful about it ever since (minus a couple mis-steps), and that's why we're getting kingsbane nerfs and stuff

hope that helps

formal juniper
#

Reviving an earlier topic but I would love to play a version of sin that's balanced around a poison bomb-esque passive that would regen like 2 points of energy per hit. A burst of energy like that would feel really good on a resource starved spec. Sounds like a tier set bonus level buff.
That being said, I do agree it would be unnecessarily strong if it did that as the spec functions currently.

Are you able to maintain 100% uptime on envenom buff with your build? I sure can't. If pooling energy is such a massive dps gain then the spec is resource starved to an extent

the type of damage is physical, but it's a dot versus a hit
