Bro who tf are you HAHAHAHA
HOW DO U KNOW ME
M+ers are usually mostly good in my experience, just unreliable.
my ravenholdt shitposting isnt as effective if the green names know who i am 
You were on mg s1 maybe 2 in shadowlands.
And like 5 people played sin
So I remembered the name
And just r.io’d it
I recognize the chungess when I see the name
What's my server, guild name and io?
Dorki and junkrat are in my guild and theyre both good players. We’ve had other M+ fiends that arent as good tho
Same
The biggest problem they face is never checking or listening to assignments
And just doing whatever they feel like

What’s mine? 
Gemini 9 inches
Sec
Send me a pic to confirm please
I wanna commit to the bit and post a pic of my ID and penis, but I think I'd get banned too fast for anyone to laugh
Gotchu king
Yeah you would

Trivial pursuit - wyrm crest accord (I don’t think your in this guild but I know you have connection somewhere)
Nope. Though I use to raid with them
!pooling
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
I knew that
i couldn't find video sorry
I also am like 90ish% sure you’re on hyjal
but i found it now 😄
How dare you use the command 
Good stuff enjoy!
Tf
You joined a friend of mine’s guild (I’m guessing as a trial look and didn’t like) and I was like hey I know that guy. But rarely spoke in there sadly
Which guild?
Chaos muppets
Oh
Museless is an absolute king and I’d die for that man.
I was in there to run a couple of keys

2+2 sometimes = 4
But I could also be off but guess is you’re not playing rn and ur shitposting like I am in appropriate channels. (Like here)
Pretty much let the cat out of the bag with that

@keen spruce comrade you’re looking fly
👀
Oh hey look it’s a trivial pursuit rogue
This guy…
?
😄
?
NEVAH LEFT
I hope Stu goes crazy next time you drink mister nugz
When you logging on for keys Mister Quake?
Thats what she said
Also woulda been better this week so I could chain spiteful on top of you
Anyone else wanna kms because of ass rogue?
?
I think i drink whiskey tonight and launch CS2
Hey, understand the context here. But just be careful about that acronym 
But also it isn’t that bad
You add a y instead of an m and it’s filtering 
Gotta run with the buds
Been running most of them at work this week and nobody really plays during the day
Next week
So they kept your PC hostage or what
Ye
The spec just feels so..... BAD to me
Also those ticket prices you put up last week werent a joke... They had a grand total of like 250 people attending the game LOL
Its the same it was last week minus 3% how does it feel bad?
You're placebo'ing hard
tbf I'm actual ass and should kms anyway but
It aint that serious
tanks chain pulling in dungeons so u cannot restealth and get garrote's/ruptures

Dance and vanish

!restealth
Long In-depth explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
https://youtu.be/DoZDPFk_Zog
The TLDW (I understand, it's LONG):
- Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
- This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths
- You still have vanish and in 10.2, shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
Use vanish for restealth only and not for kb crit
Its more of a dps loss for OL not being able to stealth between pulls @spice gull
Keep your chin up

and has boobs
Which is my only metric for deciding race
Night elf propaganda in my holy sin chat
You can take a propa gander at DN
Vulpera does flips
I just dont understand fundamentally how it works I suppose
That’s what the atomic recalibrator is for
Doing flips?
You just jump
Yw
I do less damage than a disc priest when i'm at 440 ilvl with 4 set, like brother man
You gotta get that gear up and do bigger keys
Trust
Things live longer your dots tick more and you do more damage
I mean
Yeah you’re just fundamentally missing the bar then
With 4set you do a lot of damage without your dots
There seems to be a problem here, not just the keys being too low
Even without restealth and just doing one garrote one rupture into kb shenanigans should outdamage a disc priest
if he's not like 480
Like what are you
doing when engaging a new pack?
If in stealth I try to garrote/Rupture as many targets as I can
Then fan till CT
and then attempt to KB a big target
Most of the problem comes from incoporeal for me
Blind is great 😂
Can't really stop it, sure with blind if I have it or kidney if I wanna step to it
Ait first
Which keys are you running?
And second
Are you mutilating the big target first?
This is an example, overall in a 12 rise with aug
pretty garbage
Yea I mutilate the target to activate spatter
can you send a screen of the cool damage breakdown?
Looks fine. Probably just gear
Why is CT so low though, usually its higher for me
Or tanks will do wack ass pulls
Everything dies too quick in a 12
Looks fairly alright except CT being fairly low, even for a 12
Yea I doubt I was using CT as much as I should have
Yeah this doesn't really look right
is it always the thing you build to and spend after applying ruptures/garrotes
It is a pretty major part of your aoe
You want to maintain it for the dot, don’t spam it
Right
Indeed, hey cev, is it just me or is his rupture dmg unnaturally low?
Hmm, alright

What should I do then? Cast Envenom less?
However KB, CT and Spatter should be higher
It’s a 12 tho on tyrannical week. Envenom is gonna be decently high and trash is gonna die before you get value
Sang Blades should be higher as well
Playing with a dh
Sure, thus Garrote/CT should be much higher both
How? Trash gets deleted by the dh
Because the faster mobs die, the higher your Improved Garrote uptime is
Also Sudden Demise could be higher as well
Literally just do Gar Gar Gar CT
And then mobs die
and you're sitting at 500k overall

The faster the DH kills them, the more value SD gains
SD stonks ftw!
I'm kinda confused about what's going wrong if you're engaging every pull by putting bleeds up on the mobs tho @spice gull
There's no time to Kingsbane/Envenom/Spatter spam in those low tyrannical keys
just bleeds up asap and then sd explodes them
Maybe chalk it down to throne being a shit dungeon
It’s a rise, his name is throne
I agree and if your tank is pulling like a baby when you also have bad gear your damage isn’t gonna look good
yea I guess I just need to apply bleeds more and focus on kb less and stuff for now
It's good to focus on KB and spatter once you're doing keys where the mobs will live the entire KB duration
all of them
otherwise it's just pointless
just use dance and vanish for reapplying garrotes/ruptures
maintain ct
and you're chilling
Even doing a 25 most packs don't live long enough for full duration dm kb
Kinda annoying
At least on tyrannical weeks
was the last assa nerf overkill?
We’re only sixth, 
Yes
being the #1 pi and aug spec, yeh not great
arent we "only" third pi targert by now
Not #1 PI
Yes in terms of value we are 3rd
But Assassination is the most PI'd target
It's worse than BM or UDK
yes but:
dont benefit as much from PI > dont get PI > do less dps > dont benefit as much from PI etc
Yes exactly
but that's not the case yet
it's getting there
but it's not there yet
assa is way under 6th place without PI
As for Aug, that isn’t reflected in the logs so mut
it would be nice to not having to rely on pi though
blizzard saw that and decided to buff mages
cant have a season without mage being on top at some point
Mages my number one opponent
It is the lowest simming spec together with MM
So yeah
It should be #25th
But you do have to consider the raid design as well
Assa's burst is still favorable in many of the bosses
And Spatter still pads hard
true but the last three are sub dominated
Pretty sure sin is still fine for tindy and fyrakk.
Smolderon not so much 💀
i was about to say the last 2 arent realy sub dominated
but you have to keep in mind
really? that's messed up. Was fun to play assa in raid progress for once but it did not last long enough imo
kinda fucked that blizzard nerfed it even more instead of nerfing PI or something
frankly seeing the damage Sub does on Tindral there is no way my rl will allow me to swap and give me PI over our BMs
Definitely feels like the worst week for sin rogues in mythic+. Shit affix for stealth, nerfed while others are buffed so our dmg isnt rlly that impressive in keys anymore.
nerfing pi would also nerf other classes and we dont do that here
Sin only for boss damage
If you need other shit
Yeah
You’re not going sin
Was already nerfed
Eh Assa was kind of pad with Spatter
Wasn't really the king of boss damage
not nerfed enough
and even less now
should be priest only imo
Assa legit sims 20k less than Sub
I mean you can.
But then it’s even less now.

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
go tell that to Ion that contrarian F
20k
They aren’t the only ones 
wdym?
but isnt that without pi?
Yes
with pi its more like 8k
I mean Sub still sims like 8k more even if you gave PI to Assa
But that's 1. wasting a rogue spec
- wasting a PI
Eh different topic different day
i mean playing assa wont be troll in a normal raid guild
but sub is just so much better
right now
dmg wise that is
please do tell
im also thinking about hard swapping to sub now.
progging on smolderon makes me start liking that shit
i wonder if devs forgot PI exists when they decided to nerf sin twice and leave sub alone
I mean on smolderon you have to be an idiot (me) or an idiot (shmeeps) to stay sin
They didn’t

sub in raid can be so tiring in the end, it's like so scripted to the gcd when you optimize it to the encounter, assa was a breath of fresh air, I did not play assa since Nighthold
either an idiot or a chad
We have 3 priests so I’m still getting a pi
guys is this spec dead?
dedge
nah
unplayable
people keep telling me its dead
worst spec 10/10
tindral and fyrakk aren't tight enough that doing a few less % boss damage on sin loses the fight
assa is still a top spec but people got used to being number 1 xd
3% nerf feels terrible (/s)
Yes
until proven otherwise
yea sin is still better than a lot of specs, it's just criminal sub didn't get any taps

dw sub will get tapped then outlaw will be best for the rest of the tier
There’s kind of a nuance to this conversation though.
In 10.0 we started up top. Got nerfed to the ground (with everyone else) then everything but us got buffed
Which kinda domed us
that was last week, you forgot a /s for now
nah, the raid damage profiles are still very good for sin
I can really feel myself doing 215k instead of the original 223.5k
That people worry about the same shit
this tier really shows how you can't believe everything about sims
real
still getting PIed?
It shows a 5m patchwerk can sim low and raid design can make you still blast
hopefully fated continues the trend of the raids being pushovers so you don't need to play min/max spec
I played Assas after the bonk in season 1. I played Assas in s2. Now I’m still getting a PI so why the hell would I stop playing Assas now

Because you wisened up
Oh I should stop memeing
Like
also no one decided to call me out for the bad math cause 223.5k before -> 215k after is 4% you fucking bozos
because spec ded!!11!!
Sin is fine
I am, yes
Gonna have a bunzy moment
So the 3% nerf was 4%???
people crying about an actual 6k dps nerf because they lost their already difficult to justify PI to a hunter and are now down another 10k compared to when they had it
50%
4% 
no it was 8.5% I think if you remove PI
Is there a spec that you would consider trolling?
ww before buff
I don't think it's unreasonable for people to feel frustrated over getting nerfed because of PI distorting stats
we're talking about current
spec still good though
My calculations had us nerfed 420.69%
I ruined the joke with a typo
Yw
oh it's completely unreasonable actually, because despite the apparently common belief, the devs tuning the specs aren't actuall fucking idiots and know what specs are getting PI
🫂
explain why sin is second to last spec on sims then
Whisp
I would certainly say there is some issue with devs and balance
@swift magnet explain why JFK slumped backwards if he got shot from behind

Or there wouldn't be so many necessary changes, but it's likely more to do with many different devs interacting
cause he didn't but that's kind of my point
IMagic bullet
JFK shouldn't have turned his back while tanking rookie mistake
HE WAS MOUNTED
if irrelevant nonsense was your point you should've led with that so I didn't have to waste my time reading

Shoulda bought horse armor smh
MERRY PRE CHRISTMAS FRIDAY WHISPYR
balance in wow outside of them releasing aug has been closer than it ever has been in the last decade
are you high
you people
We should buy Whispyr a mouthguard for Xmas.
this is incredible
lets get him a trip to Cabo
Ah yes, if we completely ignore the buggy and unbalanced release of aug, everything was actually fine
To save the grinding teeth
no need to get agressive my dude you are the one saying nerf is reasonable while also saying that devs knew assa numbers were inflated by PI
Aug really is a root cause of many issues
yeah, and turns out, it's still a top spec even with a tiny nerf, and no pi
how crazy
wasnt aug also "somewhat" fine until they fucked up the hooks?
Just one of the many reasons aug was a mistake
aug is fine it just needed more time to cook all the hooks around it, support specs are a nightmare without the infrastructure to support it
aug has been nerfed overall what 30-35% since inception and it's still a problem in m+, less in raid
I might have been a mistake
define top spec? part of the half best specs? I cant disagree but still the last nerf was too heavy handed
Yea I'd probably be less mad about Aug if it worked properly out the gate
yo how long is it going to take people to realize 3% aint shit
less value than a really good trinket lol
I dont think 3% is the problem is, its 3% on top of other nerfs since raid came out
it's just people being dramatic about sin possibly being slightly behind sub on boss damage
when none of the fights are that tight on damage anymore
ass is still fine its not like bottom tier dps but constant nerfs when we are situationally good feels bad
Wdym? My wife left me, she took the kids the dog, the car and the house becuade of it
on logs you mean?
3% is big when balance between top and bottom is measured in about a 10% diff
Damn bro the dog too?
I wish they would buff not nerf so heavily, DH players feeling it too
Dh is still strong lol
Yeah Man
logs, balance, fight design, M+, etc
no ones saying they aren't
I just finished an entire heroic raid and I didn't win a single item
You know damn well tuesdays nerf was not that big a deal... Dont play devils advocate lol
I mean I think the nerf was unnecessary
but from a psychological standpoint seeing your class nerfed and nerfed and nerfed makes you feel somewhere along the line the devs didn't really think something through
If you played NA i'd be more than happy to get you a branch brother
thoughts on the current combo

Serpent is yuck
Could be worse.. Looks like the game is telling you to play OL tbh
very kind of you sir, but we're eu frogs here
and you know if sin slips to mid pack after BM starts taking all the PIs that 3% aint coming back
Sin without ashes or branch is not even a spec
More value than sin and frees up ur rogue to go sub
too bad my physiotherapist is telling me differently
3% oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

doomed
THROW IT IN THE DUMPSTER
its joever
The dmg in mythic+ is alot closer when you get -3% , which I agree isnt that much, but then a bunch of other specs got buffed a couple % as well. For me its just compounded by hating spiteful so im more pissed than usual.
yeah but maybe blizzard devs live in a parallel universe were only their fun matters, and as we know numbers are fun killers. I swear if they could find a way to fuck definitely wcl and such forever they would
Heroic logs are always pretty sin biased
and?
and they dropped behind a spec no one plays
you think they tune specs for mythic?
this post is already aging like milk
that literally how our fucking mage is acting everytime he isnt ontop or doesnt get PI
Still remember the ER nerf like it was yesterday 
wat
Remember it used to be “we have literally no cleave or aoe built into our single target build so we should be the number 1 ST spec”
But now we have extremely good passive cleave and even dencent access to aoe in a mostly st build… AND we’re doing some of the best st. Then we got nerfed by a WHOPPING 3% and the sky is falling.
But by the old logic we should really be more like middle/lower pack because we have such good cleave now

That's exactly where we are now
Old logic is sound
did the dooming brainrot take your ability to type in english?
Middle pack, slightly on upper end
You can tell who wasnt here the first 2 weeks of last tier 
It's a fine spot to be in tbh
dooming brainrot 
We're chillen hard my dude
2 weeks is old data
do with only last week
it doesn't change significantly
I do have to say that my dumb Sub simming 30k more than my gigachad Assa does make my peepee a little bit smaller and sadder
now that you fixed it
ah shit oh fuck we're DEAD
Just sim with PI and you'll feel better
huehuehue
in fact its basically the same
1 week is not really it
yeah because you're looking at last weeks logs
was a typo is all...
ok
Ye this is why I swapped, even with PI my sub simmed more
I'm assa for m+ and sub for raid now
fantastic, now tell me what it means
Damn
what do you want parses from the last hour?
gigachad
Im so bad at sub right now lmao
did like 15 pulls on Smold as sub but my brain kept turning off
Gotta practice for next week
Yes
Cant be thinking about my rotation and mechancis simultaneously lolol
Mainly assa m+ because cba playing outlaw and it's more fun than sub, you can easily aquire 0.1% title with assa atm
let's see a 99% within one day 483-485 ilvl please and thank you
and blizzard doesn't even tune anywhere near to that
95% mythic is so far above the tuning metric
it's actually silly
funfact
my RL asked me to play sub on tindral, i said no cus we dont have any problems at all with roots dmg wise, and swapping specs now would make more problems then good cus i would have to somewhat re-learn the fight again for some time
he recruited a 3rd rogue for some mysterious reason now 
In fact let's see a character speed parse
yeah idk what else i need to post LOL
because as the community reacts to the ripples of the nerf waves, the logs will tell the story with some delay
95% mythic from 1 day ago
and yet its still up there
it only changes significantly at max
which is a troll metric anyway
Anyway Merry Christmas guys... have an amazing weekend
whoever got the most buffs wins that
It only takes like 10 pulls to learn the sub timings tbh, look on lorrrgs.io and stuff is realllly scripted that fight
You always do exactly same thing
Warm up the bench big guy
Feel like you'd have to already be on bad footing for raid leader to try and replace you that quickly
You too 
oh so parses within 1 day, half a week after the nerf, isn't indicative?
are you expecting people to play worse now that they have 3% less damage?
but you thought about the fact that dust sub is shit and i dont wanna play it cus it doesnt matter? 🙂
And it feels really nice to play on tindral cause of acro range
i'm expecting raid leaders to tell priests to swap PI targets
I’m benched now in my 7/9 aotc guild thanks
Why are we only looking at boss dam btw
because they said we suck at boss dam

ah yes, of course, the heroic pugs telling the priests to pi different targets for +250 extra dps
you arent really worried about rogues doing anything more than boss damage this tier
my apologies sir
who tf would look at heroic logs?
bruh
(i got PI'd as bdk in heroic pug this week i bet its because of the 3% nerf)
blizzard?
blizzard doesn't tune classes because of mythic
that's basically saying
'these 50 guilds
decide what gets buffed
LOL
ass rogues fighting again smh
if something is over performing in mythic it's probably over performing in heroic anyway
^
ya
Unless it's highly specific to a mythic fight mechanic
it's legit the most basic of lessons when making a game.
Do not balance around your best players.
and the reverse is true
it's something you are ok with or..?
yeah?
that's how every game works
how else should they do it lol
raiding with benched for Zeross

well, not for now, but man thats a message if anything lmao
they should nerf Demo lock
legit every competitive game, since the dawn of time, has balanced around the median/average player
legit killed my drive to raid
the rank 1 parses have 2 pis
that's how game design works

They balance around me in my heroic guild absolutely slaying everyone on the meters. I’m sorry guys
he does have a goat char name tho now
the only time you balance specifically around your best players
I think seeing those details with rogues on top during rwf also weighted against sin
????????
They nerf/buff the classes based on Heroic. They nerf/buff the encounters mainly based on Mythic.
the skill gap in this game is so large that you couldn't even consider heroic average/median
what
im sure blizzard watched RWF and saw rogues topping meteres every boss and said
our second rogue doesnt rly want to play anymore so my spot seems saved unless we implode over cata classic
ok so we can expect sub nerfs then?
the average player likely hasn't even killed heroic fyrakk
Selling coaching I perform over 100% on wcl
the average player can't even get into a pug to kill heroic fyrakk
I can't on my 480 dk

the average player doesnt even enter a raid at all mate
lol
like
100.1 average and not even r1 asp? smh!
except LFR
Aotc is super above average
well you don't tune raid performance around people who don't raid either you dolt
there's a range up and down
the average player is parsing in classic wow
or some more sin nerfs maybe then?
ok, so then if they're going to tune around the "average" player, you'd do normal
aight I give up
i thought we already decided 2 weeks was too long?
confidently incorrect kekw
They have to tune around the average raider not the average player
there's just
consider i posted it and people said 2 weeks is too long when the nerfs were tuesday

nothing to do be done sometimes
you see someone
and realize
I cannot reach them
Nothing wrong with stating they tune around heroic, but the reality is that doesn't really represent the average wow player
this logic wont stop me because i cant read
Now if you're tuning around guys that are like 7.5/10 rather than 10/10 yea that makes sense
normal is too low and casual that they aren't worth tuning around
Tuning doesn't matter for people who never do content where it matters
mythic is too optimized to tune around
i mean you shouldnt be balancing around the 10/10 players
unless they break something specifically that only breaks if its all 10/10 players
only concern about tuning around heroic is how short many of the fights are
kalista in league is a good example of this where she's super super mid in solo q but when you have a good team around her she's oppressive
so she gets to stay shit
aug falls into this category btw
Poggies I'm a big boy now :3 hi mom!!
its far above average
people love to forget that you are allready a top 1-2% of the playerbase with 1-2 mythic kills late into the tier
Due to them actually having esports
the reason why zeri wont be good ever again
I mean my point was specifically kalista but zeri falls into it too, once you have a full team of 10/10s theyre just too broken to leave as is
which isnt really the case in wow with anything except aug
but they're determined to make aug work
\o/
I think he's refering to the designer of Zeri literally stating that they can never buff Zeri again because her kit is beyond broken for pro play
We need to just rewind time until aug does not exist in 11.0
i mean they should have seen that coming because the mobility thing is the exact reason kalista was made to be shit

200 yrs
i mean aug could work but the thing is. if he is doing the same (or more) dmg as dev evoker, aug will always be picked because of all the utility this spec gives
no
aug could not work
soon as you bring external buffs into the equation theyre either broken or literally worthless
and if theyre worthless, why are they there
I feel like the real issue is that they buff healers and tanks, on top of being as valuable as a full DPS
and in typical fashion blizzard will double down on it
they are actually
buff affliction
one of their hero specs gives buff type effects to the other specs
Aug is already them doubling down on PI
leveling my lock rn
"we make it work, we put work in it to make it not frustrating!"
1 tier over, log hooks all where broken and took ages to fix them, many still broken and general log shitery happening with it
other 2 specs needed giga buffs to be even worth a thought anymore
litearlly 2 are a hard requirment for mythic rn

thats like "we wont do m+ dungeons older then pandaria"
and 5 months later do cata dungeons anyway

and
before they nerfed them
you were gonna take 4
though i think the aug players still prefer u take 4 because it makes it significantly easier lol
we did it boys
sin is considered s tier now, above its brother outlaw in a tier
according to some dude's arbitrary dps ranking
aw man just when i got a sword
dont worry, according to another dudes arbitary ranking outlaw is actually SS tier
aw man just when i deleted my sword
dont worry, according to my arbitary ranking, outlaw is actually F tier because its not a real rogue spec
Only ranking I need
Sorry my alphabet looks like this
actually
Fake
hey hey hey
buff assa name to aassasination pls
people are allowed to make up statistics that say assassination sucks now after 3% nerf
and you go fact checking my alphabet?
double standard much
but they are right tho whispyr
its dead
All because they didn't trust in the "ASHES" tech
I unironically hope all of the slur using demon hunters that chase flavor of the month end up in your dms
if everybody just ran ashes
Is the ashes tech you are referencing something new or just using it 3 seconds after KB
facts or nah?
That’s too smart
ive only played rogue
he's shitposting because the huge influx during race to world first of "why are none of the rogues using branch, do they know secret tech? is it bugged?"
Ahh
I used branch for 5 pulls on tindral and immediately switched to heroic ashes I had laying around
my Ashes propaganda won
jpc slipped up cause he got annoyed on stream and told people he's not using branch stop asking
and the actual torrent
of frogs
that showed up
asking why he's not using branch
was fucking insane
ive had so many people ask me, why i never played Branch
!dagger
its the small enjoyments in life uknow
actual question: when deciding on using ashes for simplicity, your gear would need more mastery right?
yes
im just gonna start responding with "JPC said it was bad"
I play branch in sin m+ basically and that's it now
what did you hate more? that or the whole "BUT Kush is doing xyz"?
I feel like people asking why not use branch haven't tried using it on the last 3 M bosses
so i have a general question: what are some good ways of dealing with spiteful since stealthing is so difficult this week?
like not even a fair comparison I hate it way more
i played branch on 2 bosses this tier
on smolderon branch is actually playable
Nymue and smolderon
tindral is ass because of root timings
its fine on pull for sub, since we dont take 10sec to press our cds
you just kinda do the same thing you would've done idk
I kind of remember the accelerated opener JPC used during rwf, was gar rupt mut env shiv dm kb
might even not have env before dm/kb
Lol that's kind of what i figured. My tanks are asking if there's anything they can do outside of just stopping pull to make sure i can stealth. I basically told them to let me worry about it and don't change how they're playing, because i don't want to to focus on just my needs which is ridiculous to expect but did ask that i at least be able to be clear to stealth before bosses. Is that basically the whole of what can be done?
they shouldn't really be doing anything for you at all
chain pulls and keeping the group in combat is way more important
yeah dm shiv ofc I swapped the 2
Cool, just wanted to be sure and that's what I've been telling them
thank you!
nabend auch paar Deutsche hier?
hab ein kleines Problem, würde mir gern ein Makro machen mit !
Todesmal
Königsmord
Schmuckstück
kann mir da wer weiter helfen?
todesmal und königsmord sind beide gcds, geht schon gleich gar nicht, schmuckstück kannst als macro schreiben indem du /use 13 oder /use 14 nimmst, 13 ist oben, 14 is unten
whispyr german confirmed?
ah ok das erklärt einiges 🙂 danke dir
I can't read German at all but I'm guessing he is talking about a kingsbane macro
/cast Deathmark
/use 13 oder 14 mit branch

sounds like a soviet macro tbh
didnt you cast sequence opener 
for Assault speed kill yeah, since it was a freak show of a talent setup and i cba'd to learn it for that one boss
are sims broken? Simming way less than 3%
/wa
works fine
thanks friend
im also parsing way less, smh my head
is everyone simming about 20-30k less than sub st? Are we depending on PI and externals to keep up?
Yeh, my Sub is around 30k more than my Sin
imagine having a priest or evokers who actually give you externals lol
we just got to drop to the bottom of rankings and then they give us buff cuz we sheet without externals
I'm not trying to doom just want to see what's working and what's not. Most streamers including zero looks like have swapped to sub
!wa

just do more dmg 🙂
yea pi and aug would definitely turn this 2 into a 99
well I dont see a general discussion where this would probably go, but is rogue gear versatile? I do be kinda stupid sry, just found it lmao
like say I play sub, and then I wanna try out outlaw or sin, is the gear just workable like that?
workable as in ur dmg just doesnt completely fall flat if you swap
Is there a resource somewhere for accelerated openers? (new idea to me) I’m still in lower keys and would love to open on M+ mobs without getting cut short as they die. Sorry if this noobish/covered elsewhere!
!stats - our stats are very similar, most gear sets will work just fine for sin
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.
just skip envenom or rupture and apply it during mark
for m+ skipping envom will be the play since you need to get up spatter
I see you asked in general too, Sin’s stats are pretty ambivalent. I think Outlaw and Sub care a bit more but even then it’s not a big deal
not sure if there is math on which of the 2 is correct in raw st but it's minor anyway
Just swap and play
I have a video about it but it really is as easy as tamaran said, you just cut out rupture/envenom to speed it up, in m+ it could be as fast as just going gar rup dm kb
But it’s not really anything set in stone
ok, I am currently lvling my rogue to play as an alt, sub is my main interest, but i would enjoy occasionally playing the others, and I was just making sure that is an option, ty
adn yea I just put it there for the more correct place lol, because I am blind and didnt mean to ask inthe wrong spot
In single target prep before your cooldowns, dropping rupture is the best, followed by envenom, followed by slice and dice being awful to drop, in aoe you need caustic up so envenom is better to drop than rupture for those situations
But you can drop both and get it up later
It’s all relative to what you need
alright
i've got money now after spending all goddamn day in bfa pulling a shit ton of mobs for gold
i have purchased swords, and i'm gonna go try outlaw
uh
oh
that is........... a lot of buttons
really considering how much I'd be inting by dropping iron stomach and tea from cleave build to get acrobatic strikes
Iron stomach's shit, doesn't matter
Tea loss is what you have to weigh
Happy Holidays Cev\
the dagger from Galakrond's Fall, but thats not a leggo
well yeah, just wanted to include as it takes 2 points
good seeing ya
tx
Another general gripe I have with rogue is that why the hell does CV cost resource?
Does any other classes personals actually cost resource anymore? Jesus
I mean if you count mage shield I guess
ignore pain warrior
Flash heal pally
but at this point all specs are perma capped on rage anyway
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Not talking about healing spells
And mana doesn't matter for mage beyond arcane anymore
More like personal defensives/heals
Like exhil, renewal, dark pact
None of that shit has a "downside"
Oh is it 10? Thought it was still 30
20 and you take nimble basically all the time
does it matter if you use garrote directly after vanish? or can you just use envenom after vanish and then refresh improved garrote? if you are on max cp for example before using vanish
can use at any point during imp gar/subterfuge
So the Shrouded Suffocation Talent also counts in for subterfuge?
yes
ok great thank you 🙂
Are there any sin abilities that take off hand dmg into account?
#showtooltip
/cast [nostance] mutilate;ambush
WIth this macro, there is a split second delay in when it switches back to mutilate, is there a way to circumvent this or?
I think I realize that I enjoy the idea of sin, but not very much so playing it
hey, thats me and df sub
Not being able to press something and like chaining envenoms is just kinda boring
Just add more challenge by constantly pressing wasd like an adhd kid 💪
I think i'm more of just a ranged player in general
I literally am just playing the rogue because I really like the heroic mog for this tier lol
It's as good a reason as any I suppose
Mythic tmogs are usually really good
Only mutilate
Nope that’s just the game swapping stances
fun times,
Thank you.
do you send any extra garrotes in the opener on council or just the normal opener and cleave what you can with ic?
this 
I miss it every day big dog
is there a way to make rupture/garrote bigger in plater? im having a hard time tracking what mobs have what. im strugging hard with my aoe rotation
What profile are you using?
Cev's
can you meld/vanish the iridikron DoT before the chromie soak in Fall?
How can I resize Cev's rupture/Garrote debuff?
okay, is there something wrong with the sim for Spiked Counterweight?
I'm looking at my 441 veteran piece on my monk (tank in this case),
But I just simmed it on my rogue, and it did this.
Tysm!!
And this is what it looks like at 463 as well.
This looks like a broken item
on Simulationcraft you mean?
No like a scaled up version of the old one
That drops from the legion dungeon
Not m+
Thats the icon it sent in the simulationcraft
The icons are just wowhead hooks
okay, so it is properly simming with the updated version of it
Damn, really thought I had somethin there lmao
Meh it's not that bad
next week is kinda free
But I agree it's not super fun
Yeah it is, if you trust the other 4 to deal with it -_-
its not bad ye, but it just feels trash
makes me consider dropping iron wire
as it barely sees play
there's so much to iron wire this season tho
Are you not garroting in shadow Dance?

That's something i raised before and was promptly dismissed.
we got a talent that lowers CV energy cost.
i don't see why wouldn't it just make it cost zero energy.
what is cv?
Crimosn Vial
Once
Peepin in to ask if sudden doom is worth running in Mythic+ vs Arterial Precision anymore
in 20+ keys never
boss damage is too valuable
I noticed people are taking Atrophic poison too btw when the heck did we start taking that?
in high enough keys you need any bit of mitigation you can get on unavoidable damage
New ability
What's the easiest way to use tricks?
talent blackjack
I know that one, but aside from focus macro, is there anything less annoying?
You either bind it to Focus target or you get the misdirect weakaura, that's how i've done it
you could probably use party1 etc, but i've no idea how to make that work
Greetings guys. I have a question, I play a 480 ilvl assa rogue, and Im feeling uncomfortable by now having 60% mastery. I'm currently at 33% crit, 54% mastery, 18% haste and 12% versa. What can I drop to gain mastery, I keep siming, and raibots keeps putting versa and haste items above mastery ones
are you using branch?
Yes, hero maxxed out
yeah try simming with ashes
You have prob way too much mastery for branch
Seems weird, because I see alot of rogues above 60% mastery unbuffed
And for me to reach that, means I would have to drop, haste or versa and Sims, don't let me drop those, always bring that pieces as top choice
Are they using branch or ashes?
The ones in murlok.io using ashes are above 60% the ones with branch are actually below
Well there you go
Thanks for pointing that out, will try do work around it
!fuu

looking for a good german assa player for some questions
i mean if you can translate its ok, do you think my stats are ok? i think i do low dps for my gear..
gibt keinen stat focus brudi
ich seh halt schurken die machen mit weniger gear mehr schaden mit "vergiftende explosion"
das heißt er hat mehr mastery oder?
weil gifte ja mit mastery mehr schaden machen
das ist das 4set?
ja
spielst du darum? also envenom chains usw...
weil der gameplay loop momentan halt ist darum zu spielen auserhalb von cd's, dann ist der dmg davon natürlich höher
das heißt einfach vergiften stacks auf dem ziel zu halten oder wie meinst du das?
muss ich mal probieren hab das noch nicht wirklich beachtet vieleicht liegt daran das problem, ich habe halt immer geschaut vergiftgen mit 4 oder mehr combopunkte zu usen
halt nicht finksher spammen, energy conserven, nur finisher nutzen um envenom buff am laufen zu halten dammit du das so lange wie geht oben hälst
!pooling
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
alles klar danke ich werds gleich mal austesten
das erklärts

My man clicked the small hyperlink and ignored all the massive yellow warnings and still simmed stat weights
Idk what else to do other than to remove stat weight sims altogether
Is there an affix that gimps a class/spec the way spiteful does for assassination
good thing it doesnt gimp assa
@vestal wren is it possible too make an automated moroes response everytime spitefull is mentioned? 
yes. most of them
because it barely matters for assassination
and it barely matters for most specs
think the only affix thats really annoying (and for multiple specs aswell) is volcanic
