season 2 is the best look since blood fang and you know it.. but what bonus should we be voting for ?

raven gull
#

missed s2, so happy if I can get this set

worn badger
#

i missed the mythic color by 1 freaking dungeon for shoulders , have the other colors , but the s3 catch up gear is still bugged and giving only lfr color =/

#

the lfr s2 all silver is amazing on mecha gnome though, we look like tiny shredder

#

real question time though. old man rogue now and i think im terrible at snap shotting and some of the mechanics around these set bonuses, are there any video guides or rogue streamers that might be able to explain it ? im a much stronger visual learner

#

neat, thanks. suprised i didnt know he had a chanel. i feel extra old now

drifting cloud
#

its pretty new

#

I can see people wanting to vote for s1 with the current power of kingsbane.

lament bolt
#

It might be getting a fair bit of the PvP player vote. Apparently the S2 bonus was bugged or something.

bright turret
#

I would hope not since it doesnt do anything for it

lament bolt
#

Sample size of like two forums posts

balmy condor
lament bolt
#

It's in the realm of possibility. I certainly don't

balmy condor
#

Mini game players

#

But yeah the tier keeps you in combat

drowsy hollow
#

I liked s2 sin bonuses but I understand if they are weak

balmy condor
#

And all 3 people still pvp’ing

#

Were very mad

#
  • some niche cases with m+ players
lament bolt
#

Totally unsurprising that S2 is winning the transmog choices.

#

Ah well, screamed into the wind for S1 mog, S2 bonus. Mog mainly because I didn't play much in S1 and have 9/9 of S2 mog in all four difficulties. Already dined on all the turtle soup.

oak tangle
#

I'd be down for a set that changes gameplay up a bit more

thorn fjord
#

What we voting boiz

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

lol

balmy condor
#

The most gameplay you’re getting is season 3 chaining envenoms instead of playing for envenom uptime

oak tangle
#

desyncing kb from dm would smoothen out the damage curve would it not, if that happened

balmy condor
#

Or season 2 maybe pushing kingsbane 2 seconds later into dm

oak tangle
#

oh

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

poopoo that

balmy condor
#

Desyncing is full troll

thorn fjord
#

Whats the most casual play? Im thinking S2

balmy condor
#

S1

oak tangle
#

i was hoping they'd go full corruption levels of busted and just change the slots you could get tier in and let us have 2 4 p

thorn fjord
#

prob too hard to balance

#

that would be cool though maybe

oak tangle
#

balance for fated raids kekl

storm forum
#

let us equip 6 pieces cowards

thorn fjord
oak tangle
#

idk about everyone else, but i'm not overly interested in fated raids. we've seen all the raids already, and progression just isn't the same in that regard. will have to see more about what they are changing up before i'm interested. They should balance all 3 sets and make the tokens redeemable for all rather than having a poll outside the game that alot of people wont see

thorn fjord
#

We get a nice long break before war within

#

Hopefully it lives up to the hype

arctic socket
#

So which sets bonus gave gave the most for sin?

stable tree
#

hey everyone--wondering what % mastery and crit i should be aiming for before evening out other stats as assa. currently 474 with 60% mastery and 41% crit

arctic socket
#

What did your robot tell you

#

There isn’t any % to aim for

#

You sim it

stable tree
#

okay cool, ty!

arctic socket
#

The only % we aim for it 228.7% haste for infinite energy! (This is a sin meme)

balmy condor
raven egret
#

well, season 3 set winning by a landslide

balmy condor
#

We’ve gotten a rework since and they’re tuning anyway

junior yoke
raven egret
#

Have you missed the buffs and nerfs of the patch so far...?

balmy condor
#

They said they would tune the bonuses

junior yoke
balmy condor
#

What

junior yoke
#

Not in the pst 20 days

#

I’m asking if they’re going to tune it now

balmy condor
#

Tune what

open reef
#

There is blue post

balmy condor
#

We’re talking about season 4

open reef
#

Yea

junior yoke
#

Uhm don’t see the blue post

balmy condor

Pins

junior yoke
#

Okok ty

#

Just got up

oak tangle
#

i just got up too, but it's 4 pm for me soooooooo

royal lantern
#

me voting for outlaw S1 cus im a hater 2ez

river cipher
#

Ngl dont understand why they couldn't have been like "fuck it" and given us the option for all 3 sets

#

Shit woulda been wild

royal lantern
#

idk

runic hinge
#

They should give us the option for any set in wow history

royal lantern
#

its a bad idea overall

last time they did smth like that, we got grimrail as m+

river cipher
runic hinge
#

Don't care I'm not here for logic

river cipher
#

Clearly not

royal lantern
#

took 2hours until casuals went from "hehe funny train" to "wtf this is bad" when everyone with a brain said that

river cipher
#

You must understand short=good

runic hinge
#

That's what she said

river cipher
#

You wish

near valley
#

So sin bros I'm casting s2 set as my vote for u guys right?

river cipher
near valley
#

Dw our s3 set has already gapped all other competition

royal lantern
#

how do you know that lmao

#

reminder that this discord is like, 0,1% of the playerbase of a class

#

your votes dont mean shit if the forum andys decide otherwhise

near valley
#

All it takes is JPC to say s3 set and its sorted

#

Ez pz

royal lantern
#

mate

#

nobody knows who KFC is outside of your bubble

#

lol

#

internet community bubbles and their consequenses are gigantic, people REALLY dont realise how much of a minority they actually often are

oak sky
#

arent all the rogue sets from the whole expansion trash

#

lmao

#

like gameplay wise

royal lantern
#

nah

#

assa s was all decent

oak sky
#

s1 didnt do anything

royal lantern
#

s1-s2 where boring, but did their job

oak sky
#

ok so

#

trash gameplay wise

royal lantern
#

s3 is cool and should be a talent

#

but atleast nothing that makes gameplay worse

#

like spriest s3 set

oak sky
#

theres no functional difference between any of the 3 tho

#

at least not a big one

#

so it shouldnt matter that much which one gets picked

#

i feel like sin basically played different each tier because of the reworks and not really the sets

limber lion
#

I liked s2 for m+

#

Send dm on a shit mob

#

And get gigadeeps after that

#

😤

royal lantern
#

what gigadeeps

#

who played assa in m+ last Patch

#

even i did not

runic hinge
#

I did

balmy condor
#

Man

#

I can’t wait to not log in for season 4

I love court mandated breaks

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

I will write the guide for season 4

#

And then play maplestory

#

In that order

royal lantern
#

fated as a 1x thing during SL to make the drought better? sure, why not

fated as a REGULAR thing? yikes lmao

balmy condor
#

They said it would be different this time

#

(It’s not)

near valley
worn badger
#

its a build your own adventure this time!

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

DIFFERENT

balmy condor
worn badger
#

it will be an invasion of pandas!

#

to hype cata classic..

balmy condor
#

Instead of affixes every week you’ll get to talk to a dragon and pick the easiest affix yourself

#

Very cool

#

Idfk

#

Fated is just a shit system

near valley
#

I hope they bring back storming affix to really gives us that throwback feel

storm forum
#

I like the idea of a short recap season, but it's just not for me. I'll play the story quests if any come out and then unsub.

balmy condor
#

I like the idea of a recap season but it would mean re-progging dogshit fights

#

And that’s not it

near valley
#

Maybe we've been jebaited and timewlaking season rumour is the real season

#

Coping hard

balmy condor
#

Oh boy we get to re-prog zskarn but this time with an affix? I’m pogging and cumming and shitting and pissing myself

#

What a fun time

storm forum
#

Next expac though? I'm excited.

near valley
royal lantern
#

i spend hours sufferimg against some of the worst Bosses like zskarn

#

i dont want it again lol

near valley
#

Gotta pray for 2 different rings

balmy condor
#

Oh goodie, we get to do 3 hours of weakaura bug fixing on echo again?

near valley
#

To go with ur volc neck

balmy condor
#

YIPPIE

#

WAHOO

worn badger
#

but hey, we get dfbd and branch!

runic hinge
#

Puzzle box despairge

royal lantern
#

outlaw brain moment

oak tangle
#

have they confirmed the dungeon pool?

worn badger
#

outlaw players dont have brains, its whjy they get guns

balmy condor
#

And then all the new trials we got since we were in vault won’t have the weakauras that we used and half of them will break so you gotta get new versions that then don’t work for 4 people so then you gotta sit there and figure out why and it turns out that it was reading the ert note wrong

#

Fucking Christ

#

What a shit game

oak tangle
#

why are people assuming puzzle box, when we could potentially not even have a single DF dungeon in the pool

worn badger
#

ive never used a weak aura, i hate them.

royal lantern
#

dont forget the macro pressing whisp

balmy condor
storm forum
worn badger
#

no im to old for that shit lol. im 40 now, 26 years of mmo raiding has left me like a 90 year old irl

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Not having WA’s in mythic prog might as well be a big sign saying “kick me from the guild”

#

Especially with all the private aura nonsense

#

You actually just fuck over your entire raid

near valley
royal lantern
#

private auras becoming more common and Augmentation

#

the 2worst things from DF

#

that will have longlasting effects

storm forum
#

I did fine somehow. Until reclear and we were wondering why the WA wasn't working again and one of the reasons (there were so many reasons) was that I didn't have bigwigs installed.

bright turret
#

looking forward to being yelled at for blinding wrong sparks on rasz

oak tangle
#

i think aug is fine if there is like 3/4 other specs that do the same, but as a singular spec, yeah is a problem, they should at least add a dh support spec

worn badger
#

yeah thats pretty messed up. when the game needs people to program alarms so that its beatable something needs to change. but i guess its fun to someone.

balmy condor
bright turret
#

private auras aren't necessarily awful, it's when they make them and then clearly do not test if a normal human can do the mechanic

storm forum
#

You can actually do the entirety of aberus with only the MD timer WA, except for Echo. Fuck echo. Fuck echo with a rusty pole.

balmy condor
#

Mythic echo hearts

#

Cannot be done without wa’s

royal lantern
#

🙂

balmy condor
#

The timing is too quick and the positioning is too precise

bright turret
#

i'd like to know how the dev cooked up fyrakk intermission and then went "yea this is fine as is"

balmy condor
#

I mean it’s a natural evolution of the game

#

You gotta make things more complex

#

Cause something like a naxxramas patchwerk

#

Just can’t cut it

#

The problem is they’re making fights more complicated

oak tangle
#

my intro to raid fights was varimathras, basically stack and burn

storm forum
#

Did any boss in dragonflight have a classic dragon tail swipe mechanic?

balmy condor
#

But then also trying to crack down on addons giving the info needed to do it

#

So then it’s just a fucking disaster

royal lantern
storm forum
#

That's a tragedy

balmy condor
#

They gotta change somehow

#

Either you fix the UI to give info and allow people to plan it, in game, naturally

#

Or you don’t make mechanics that are so fucking insane that they require weakauras

#

Echo would be very doable without weakauras had they just decided to make wall breaks do like a third of the damage

bright turret
#

Rasz was close to a perfect endboss imo, challenging, but you could pretty much do it without crazy WAs

balmy condor
#

So you would be able to break more

#

Make room

#

And then run into the room

#

But nah

#

Wall breaks = wipe

#

So now you gotta do degen shit

fringe lily
#

We're voting for season 3 tier set bonuses yeah?

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Fucking stupid design

bright turret
#

Mythic, I also liked Jaina a whole lot

#

That was just an epic fight imo

brittle jungle
#

Hi, for s4 need bonus set s1 or s3; not s2 because bugged.

oak tangle
#

i didn't actually do the fight, but it looked kinda bs that you required evokers to take a priest on it

bright turret
#

Yea, it definitely had some flaws regarding strict comp

#

but I don't recall needing any WAs for its mechs much

oak tangle
#

heroic was pretty banger though

#

i just hated it cause of the aoe sections and playing sin

#

raz with current sin though? $$$

bright turret
#

Sub will be even more busted as it is than it was back then

royal lantern
#

assa was good for raza wdym

oak tangle
#

it was good, but the intermission sections and adds sucked dick

balmy condor
bright turret
#

Depended on your comp, and prog, but sub was really good on the fight due to shield damage, and add damage during p1 intermission

balmy condor
#

Like seeing a lion in an African safari

#

Very rare sighting

oak tangle
#

also i'm not talking mythic

#

cause i won't be touching that

bright turret
#

Oh, heroic generally flops to any spec

oak tangle
#

yeah it's about the feel for me, and it felt terrible to do the adds as sin

worn badger
#

id like to see stuff like the old scholo final boss but as a raid , personal scenarios requring you to know your class.

gentle burrow
#

Yall voting s2?

near valley
#

Ofc

gentle burrow
#

Gotta help vote my fellow siblings

oak tangle
#

but having kb to cleave on the intermission adds will be nice

bright turret
#

Atleast you can do a little padding with caustic and s3 set on em if we keep it

balmy condor
gentle burrow
#

I dont play sin

#

Idk what u think is fun

worn badger
#

and yeah whispyr, you know rogue pvp is bad when pika gives up on it

gentle burrow
#

Whats a quick sumary of the tiersets?

#

Like mega shoty

worn badger
#

pins

balmy condor
gentle burrow
#

Short

#

2 words

#

Ok

balmy condor
#

Doing exactly that

#

Wouldn’t that be cool

gentle burrow
#

Well

#

U know

worn badger
#

too many words

gentle burrow
#

I dont even come here

royal lantern
bright turret
#

Clearly you just vote for S3 since the other rogue sets are doing that

royal lantern
#

there u go

worn badger
#

also i just want to say, i got the 8bitdo nes themed keyboard for xmas and its amazing

oak tangle
gentle burrow
#

Ok i read the pings idk what the fuck a kingsbane is, wasnt that a movie?

runic hinge
#

Raz will be a fun fight on heroic in s4 as sin for sure

worn badger
#

it comes with 2 extra giant A and B buttons you can macro to anything and having a giant vanish button is hilarious

oak tangle
#

it feels like they designed the sin rework to be the perfect class for raz

bright turret
#

i mean, they made it practically the perfect spec for boss killin

#

burst is almost always >>>> than flat damage

#

and they went wild with it in rework

runic hinge
#

Sub was already super good before idk how it won’t be good again

royal lantern
balmy condor
bright turret
#

i do not envy sub rogue sin fated

balmy condor
#

Seems not good

bright turret
#

trying to cook up perfect CD usage for 20 new bosses

#

ill stick with my facerolling for slightly less boss damage

bright turret
royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Wait You raid with zeross?

bright turret
#

I'm sure there is a bit more to it than that, but either spec downs tindral just fine

royal lantern
#

he joined 3 weeks ago ye

#

aka

#

they recruited him

#

and i didnt get too raid for a couple weeks now

balmy condor
#

I’d fucking uninstall lmao no shot

royal lantern
#

and when asked about it got told "dont wanna talk about it" 🙂

#

and also no logs too look for something new cus all private logs

#

im slightly pissed, ngl

#

guild going from 1 of the best i ever had too shitshow cus they chase the HoF high now

#

and going full idiot

bright turret
#

It just now starting tindral prog?

royal lantern
#

60% of raidteam replaced during progress

bright turret
#

Feel like it's a bit late in the game to sweat perfect comp

#

funny thing is KB lines up with a lot of roots so sin can feasibly do good root damage too

oak tangle
#

can sin just get outlaw S2 set but change BTE to shiv

runic hinge
#

What was SL s4 set?

#

Lmao

storm forum
#

I know BTE is between the eyes, but my brain is programmed to think of it as Blood (of) The Enemy

runic hinge
#

It was AP and exsang

quartz snow
oak tangle
#

sin = us

#

assas sin

#

sometimes we are ass, or assa

quartz snow
#

Jeez, thanks, I'm stupid.

oak tangle
#

XD

icy acorn
#

when assassination is good then its called sin

#

if its bad its called ass

oak tangle
#

when it's bad it's called sub XD

#

^ jk

icy acorn
#

sub>sin

quartz snow
#

I've tried sub,. Completely. Different game play, sin more chill

icy acorn
#

sin is cool and all

#

i also abused it

#

but it gets repetetive

oak tangle
#

i played sub for the first time the other day, literally first time playing it for H fyrakk. the fight just ends and you're unaware how you got there

icy acorn
#

sub punishes you for bad cooldown usage

oak tangle
#

sin you are aware of every minute you are waiting for cd's

quartz snow
#

But outlaw, how's the gameplay compare to sin?

#

Ahah

#

Kings bane waiting.

quartz snow
#

I barely know the rotation

icy acorn
#

deserve what

balmy condor
#

a blue neck?

#

I guess?

quartz snow
#

All this gear

oak tangle
#

cute

balmy condor
#

I mean just looks like a heroic funnel and a lot of m+

#
  • like 5 crafted pieces
quartz snow
#

For my experience

icy acorn
#

not many people need normal/hc gear at this point

oak tangle
#

if anyone else needed that gear this far into the expac, they haven't been playing so deserve it as much as you

icy acorn
#

altough some ppl might be fuming seeing double nick of time after 2 days

oak tangle
#

look

#

i've given up on that shit

icy acorn
#

:^)

oak tangle
#

i got one at 483 and i've resigned to never getting a second

arctic hare
tulip stratus
#

should i turn off crippling for sang

arctic hare
#

please god yes

#

don't torture your tank lmao

icy acorn
#

and i tell you

#

i have never seen so many sandglasses

arctic hare
icy acorn
#

dropped like 4 in 6 runs

oak tangle
#

i'd honestly take any dagger on myth track as it's probably my biggest upgrade

icy acorn
#

for my guild

#

igira still hasnt dropped the dagger once

#

after killing her every week since week 1

oak tangle
#

im 483 ilvl, without touching a single mythic raid boss

#

i could probably get 2-3 more ilvl for getting more crests, but got aotc the week before xmas and haven't played properly since

icy acorn
#

i just cope every wednesday for a dagger

fringe lily
#

Tbf, I've only ran fall 8 times this week

icy acorn
#

and a waist

quartz snow
#

Is death mark - Kris - shadow dance into kb with garot /rupture reapply for buff

The good way for burst window? Or am I doing it wrong?,

#

And reply Kris + vanish before kb ends?

quartz snow
oak tangle
#

not bis, but its ilvl

#

489 vs 483

icy acorn
#

mainhand is always Ilvl > stats

royal lantern
#

^

icy acorn
#

and if they are the same ilvl, a third extra dmg stat will almost always outweight it

oak tangle
icy acorn
#

and since Offhand is literally only for autoattacks and energy recovery, a third stat like timestrike will outweight ilvl most of the time

#

depends on how many ilvl of course

oak tangle
#

i think it's also muted by how the current upgrade system works, where you get comparable ilvl from vastly different difficulties

quartz snow
#

I've passed on it

#

But it was mythic level?

#

I didn't checked

oak tangle
#

unlikely

open reef
#

@balmy condor gameplaywise - does tier sets We gonna vote on, gonna force us to change with some talents/roation from prev seasons - lets say back towards sepsis etc ?

oak tangle
#

you have to do mythic to get mythic level

quartz snow
#

well, augure in heroic mod will dropped in mythic level tho

icy acorn
#

only fyrakk super rare items do

#

on mythic they are even higher

#

496 or something

oak tangle
#

you can almost consider the final heroic boss to be a mythic boss

#

that's how they've kinda scaled the difficulty this xpac, last boss is comparable to early mythic

icy acorn
#

cant wait to progress dathea again next seasonPogO

#

or neltharion

#

without weakauras

runic hinge
#

Dathea was so bad

oak tangle
#

i think that prog will be much easier

runic hinge
#

We never killed her a second time

oak tangle
#

strats are known and familiar now

#

and you dont have the voodoo of first time kill

icy acorn
#

all i want is

#

fated grieftorch

#

and im in heaven

oak tangle
#

not looking forward to eranog ring farm if flaring cowl comes back

icy acorn
#

it probably will

#

they nerfed it hard and was still extremely good for a fairly long period of s2

balmy condor
#

but kinda not sure

#

the new talent tree afte the rework

#

made sepsis/bone spike

#

really garbage

arctic hare
#

Which kinda sucks, both are pretty cool abilities

open reef
#

yea just was looking at season2 rotation etc

#

and there was sepsis 😛

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean it's pointless to look at previous season rotations

#

they're completely irrelevant to the current talent tree

open reef
#

kk

balmy condor
#

might as well look up the legion rotation

#

probably closer to current assa

royal lantern
oak tangle
#

i kekl'd when fuu posted the sub sims using all 3 tier sets

#

much mislead, many pointless

#

and then peeps are like "s3 is 25%!! vote that one"

arctic hare
#

I preferred the s2 Sub

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean

#

no shot anyone looks at this

#

and goes

#

"oh yeah that's informative"

arctic hare
#

Whispyr

#

you forget we're rogues...

balmy condor
#

does being a rogue remove your ability to use logic

arctic hare
#

yes. yes it does lmao

balmy condor
#

unfortunate

royal lantern
#

beeing a wow player does

arctic hare
#

Exactly

oak tangle
#

very suprised that the tier sets designed for a previous iteration of the spec don't compete with the set that was

icy acorn
indigo mulch
#

I mean maybe we can be relevant again if go for s2 set :c

icy acorn
#

def gotta pick s3 then

indigo mulch
#

I don't know! Maybe there is some weridness in there 😄

oak tangle
#

i mean maybe our rupture will do as much for us as it does for sub then?

royal lantern
#

assa is in its most relevant state in the last 2expansions mate

indigo mulch
#

Uh

#

I was refering to the other 2 specs aswell.

oak tangle
#

huh

indigo mulch
#

Yes, sin is pretty darn good in comparisson to the 2 last seasons 😄

balmy condor
#

what a terrible day for just

#

being able to read english

indigo mulch
#

lol

oak tangle
#

these the other specs you're talking about?

indigo mulch
#

Maybe D:

still sky
#

I sure do wish I were relevant 😔

balmy condor
#

I'm starting to realize that the problem with blizzard putting up a poll for people isn't the troll votes or the bugs or the community perception of the strength of certain bonuses

#

the real problem is just the lack of literacy amongst wow gamers

near valley
#

Well ofc

oak tangle
#

make a tier set, that reduces your damage when do meet a certain condition. and then people who are illiterate will do less damage, because they'll read it thinking they are meant to do those conditions

royal lantern
#

have fun

#

🙂

balmy condor
#

it's so simple just vote for the gameplay you want I don't get it

oak tangle
#

what gameplay

#

XD

royal lantern
#

people dont know how it affects gameplay mate

#

like

oak tangle
#

is it just a yes or no question for pooling

royal lantern
#

fury will be 100% s3, cus fury aith current tier set does good dmg

but s3 set plays bad and s2 played awesome

#

wow players see big bar->good gameplay, even more so in hindsight

normal mist
#

I can't really see the voting, how's it going so far?

#

(website doesn't open for me still)

oak tangle
#

Biden won

balmy condor
# oak tangle what gameplay

season 1 is very balanced on bleed/poison, season 2 is very bleed heavy/drawn out damage instead of burst, season 3 is very nature damage and burst heavy

royal lantern
oak tangle
balmy condor
#

sure

#

you'd move kingsbane around, pool differently

#

play different talents

icy acorn
#

the most fun gameplay is the one with the biggest numbers obviously

ashen orbit
#

What’s easier 😅

normal mist
#

S2 was pretty easy

balmy condor
#

they're all easy

#

the gameplay isn't "harder"

#

it's just "different"

normal mist
#

Yeah pretty much

oak tangle
normal mist
#

#

No idea what I should vote, I abstain

oak tangle
#

i think the season 1 set looks interesting for m+ so i may go for that

dark token
dark token
#

That's why I voted for s2, since I want sin to be bis m+ spec

slate crown
#

I like the explosions in s3, I like the envenom chaining

#

So I voted s3

#

Idn about the numbers

dark token
#

I like the giga bleed sudden demise gameplay that s2 set will bring

oak tangle
#

it's not that i dislike s3, but if there is any hope of having fun in fated i dont want it to be season 3+

balmy condor

Raids in s4 usually are lame only reason fated was good last time was the m+ rota was really fun

I'm voting for trump

oak tangle
#

which mog did you guys vote for

dark token
#

Really I'm just disappointed in blizz

royal lantern
#

enlightend centrist

im not voting at all, all are equaly bad

dark token
#

Not giving us all 3 sets

royal lantern
dark token
#

To mix and match xmog and bonuses as we please

#

That would be way more fun season

oak tangle
#

I am still copium that the reason they are asking us which set, is because they are gonna tune it to be giga busted

royal lantern
#

i mean ,tmog is weird af anyway

like, you can just tmog it anyway????

dark token
#

Yeah exactly

#

So this is strictly less "choose ur tier set!!!" Than if they gave us all 3 sets to mix and match 4p/2ps

#

Everyone could pick their preferred gameplay for situation, like m+ in s2 2p s3 2p or something

#

Doing nothing would actually be an improvement over this

oak tangle
#

i mean there is much less work to be done for the season than the others, (at least it seems that way) but their balance department isn't any bigger so they probably can't tune all 3 sets

modest glen
#

Just give everyone all 3 set bonuses at the same time

dark token
#

If they give us all 3 u don't need to tune em

oak tangle
#

that's not true

modest glen
#

Like a 12-set

dark token
#

Cause 1) 4fun season and 2) s3 bonuses mostly are higher

#

And I honestly doubt they will tune the bonuses anyway and they just announced to casuals ilvl will be equal

#

We will see

normal mist
#

Transmog wise, which set we missing boys?
I'm missing LFR S1 only 😦

fringe lily

All the lfr

i want to get my priest lfr mog

I have all the tier sets

So why do I even care about xmog

You don't xD

dark token

Unless they give us new color ways but they didnt say that

oak tangle
#

maybe they will give KSM actual effects

#

So am I in the minority thinking this is lazy cuntishness from Blizz? Or are all the posts on reddit/forums praising this from bot farms?

mortal pond
#

is it true? some sites tell me not to spec into crimson tempest for m+, but isn't this the main aoe spender?

normal mist
#

Depends on the build

real pike
mortal pond
#

oooh i just saw the 4set, that makes sense!

hushed fable
#

I wish that Blizz would do the only reasonable thing to do. Allow you to use any of the 3 tier sets. Make it an enchant or whatever. Balance doesn't matter in fated season anyway, it's pure casual fun season.

mortal pond
#

but i guess while leveling and untill i have to 4 set i should spec into it?

dark token
#

You should decide not spec into it when you push for 0.1% title

#

In all keys below 25 it should be better than not having it

#

Run the AP shock build on wowhead for open world content/keys up to 25

real pike
#

Not even bothering to allow you to mix and match

#

It's a joke imo

dark token
oak tangle
#

for all we know, the reason we are being asked which set me like is because they are planning to make one baseline

#

and you can equip a second

real pike
#

Think you're giving them too much credit personally, 10 years ago I'd agree but current actiblizz...

oak tangle
#

not giving anyone credit, but there is no use dooming and down badding them

#

if you go into fated season in a happier mood about it, you'll have more fun in it

real pike
#

While I agree with you about actually playing it, don't agree that if a paying customer complains about something they're a Karen and need to just accept things and be happy about it etc

#

If disappointment isn't voiced, one can't complain when nothing changes

spice sentinel
#

Not thrilled but gonna take it gor what it is and hopefully have some fun

oak tangle
#

i agree too, but there is nothing to complain about yet, as all we've been told is that they will refresh old raids, with no details on that yet

real pike
#

Happy to hold out judgement for now, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised

#

But on the surface it looks lazy and poorly thought out, people voting for their class are outnumbered 10 to 1 by potential trolls from other classes

oak tangle
#

the precedent is that SL season 4 was done by like 1 person.. this one is intentional and planned, you have to think that there should be a significant increase in quality

real pike
#

Should only be allowed to vote if you have a max level toon of that class, even though that wouldn't fully solve the issue

grim jay
#

Basically just new xpac waiting roomPogO

grim jay
oak tangle
#

for all we know, the raid will be a mash up of bosses mish mash of gear options like they have free reign over their own game here. will have to see details before I can comment on it really

mortal pond
#

sorry for the noob questions, but does deathmark work on the bleeds that are currently on the target? or do i have to re apply em after deathmark?

allright nice, thx

hey guys , Wafting or Sophic as weapons enchant ? on wowhead it says Wafting but many top ranking on Warcraft logs , i see sophic .. ?

oak tangle

sophic is not far behind and i tihnk is better for sub, so can use it to save swapping

normal mist

Whichever sims better use it

quartz snow
#

thanks 🙂

grim jay

If you multispec you can just get multiple Nichole Fulltimes for your offhand with different enchants

oak tangle

And have sophic on MH if its your high ilvl weapon

Thats what I did PogO

i'll let you know when i get a second nick XD

You just dont want it hard enough

hello, which the strongest tier bonus set for next season? 1/2/3?

balmy condor

gusty oak
#

i like 3 than season 2..

oak tangle
#

i'm all about the ap blindside build in m+ so s1 set looks good to me

#

also bring back poisons doing damage

grim jay
#

I mean

#

You can still play AP BS

oak tangle
#

i know the irony of what i said in that i play ap, and want poisons to do more damage XD, but the increase in bleed from the s1 set with ap would be nice in aoe

grim jay
#

I dont remember the s1 set tbf

oak tangle
#

Season 1
(2) Set Bonus: Envenom also increases your weapon poisons’ damage by 20%.
(4) Set Bonus: When your weapon poisons deal direct damage, you have a 50% chance to gain Septic Wounds, increasing your Bleed damage by 4% for 8 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.

#

to make that as powerful as s3 set, that means big bleed or big poison damage

pseudo hamlet
#

S1 is best because it's just passive. Won't have to play round it(like waiting for the DeathMark to Expire to use KB after from the S2 tier set or pooling for the Envenom spam from S3 tier set).
Considering that the damage gain will be the same(after tuning) S1 is most optimal. Same gain for lower effort. peeposhrug

oak tangle
#

and i dont want s3 set again so im picking between 1 and 2. the merit of s2 set is that it spreads out the damage more

pseudo hamlet
oak tangle
#

if they buffed the nature damage duration on 2 set to 1 min, i tihnk you would get the second smaller kb inside that buff

#

that would be cool

pseudo hamlet
#

I mean, you would probably still wait for the Deathmark to expire to gain the +40% damage from the Kingsbane.

oak tangle
#

i don't think so, because the first ticks of kb are piss

#

you'd want the last couple vanish buffed ones at least to be after dm though

pseudo hamlet
#

KB does higher damage during DM than in the +40% dmg window?

oak tangle
#

cause dm is a large factor in getting the stacks to make kb do mroe

fringe lily
#

You need the dm to be before KB in order for the vanish buff at under 3s to work

pseudo hamlet
#

I am just wondering how Kingsbane is doing more damage in DM than during the straight +40% dmg buff to it?

oak tangle
#

without deathmark duplicating poisons, your kb doesn't get stacks

#

(as many)

#

kb's damage is tied to it's stacks

#

each stack is a 20% buff to kb

pseudo hamlet
#

Understandable, just thought that the strict +40% dmg buff is higher than these stacks.

oak tangle
#

you can get 100 stacks

#

it's why pi is so good on us

balmy condor
#

turns out getting an extra like 600% additive damage is really fucking good

vestal wren
#

We vote for Season 1, right? (just joking)

quartz storm
pseudo hamlet
#

Vote for whatever you find most fun I guess, they will tune it anyway

vestal wren
#

^ it does matter to a degree, you can decide what part of the spec you want to emphasize on

quartz snow

#

s2 set was alright but I think s1 is more fun and s3 idk x)

balmy condor
#

always dslice

#

5 target patchwerk is awful

quartz snow
vestal wren
#

e.g. the season 2 set is thematically probably the best for sin, but KB goes brr with the current one

echo junco
#

I hope were taking s1 or s2 for big bleed builds again. Prob wont be as good as s3 set for m+ but still…

vestal wren
#

think the vote was very in favor of s3 currently

fringe lily
#

We're taking s3

#

KB go brr

winged quail
#

All the rogue specs want S3 tier sets lol

balmy condor
#

I'm probably voting season 2

winged quail
#

But S2 is the best transmog and nobody can say otherwise

pseudo hamlet
#

Did vote S1 because it seems easiest to play and it's great for PvP(S2 was bugged and S3 envenom spam almost never happens on the arena).

fringe lily
#

S2 is 100% my vote for looks

@balmy condor would s2 remove some of our reliance on pi?

I'm telling you that 90% of this guys are voting based on current tuning OMEGAKEKW

basically my vote depends on if i want to raid or m+ on sin

gaunt moat
#

Well, Season 2 set was crap that made us do more damage after DM ended.
Season 1 was just.. more damage.
season 3 at least has some gameplay.

hardy dagger
#

Season 2 tier was completely ass

pseudo hamlet
#

Did I miss something? Why people in the comments are asking if we're voting for the new different color tints?

oak tangle
#

there is 2 votes

#

spec based tier bonus, and class based mog

placid ermine
#

how do you people even vote on this thing, i cant click anything OMEGAKEKW

pseudo hamlet
oak tangle
#

reading forums comments for coherent thought is a bait

vestal wren
gaunt moat
#

tuning was fine, the bonus was bad.

#

it gave you more nature damage after DM ended.
And it increased Crimson Tempest and Rupture Damage.

vestal wren
#

season 3 set just seems to be tuned more agressively

#

so there will be an inherent bias towards the best tuned set

gaunt moat
#

I reject the notion that tuning is what's gonna dictate results

placid ermine
#

idk, im kinda vibing with s1 bonuses, idk if nostalgia cuz i liked playing season 1 the most or actually preferrable if tuned accordingly

vestal wren
#

for subtlety its quite obviouse s3, just because s1 was boring and s2 was painful to play

#

for outlaw/sin i am not 100%

#

but votes point to s3 set for all 3 currently

placid ermine
#

where can i even find the list of all bonuses for all specs, they somehow didnt provide one for a vote, and i have few alts i'd like to vote on too

placid ermine
#

ty mate

oak tangle
#

realistically, none of the sin sets make it play in a shit way. so it's more of a choice as to damage profile

vestal wren
#

oh, notter was faster

gaunt moat
vestal wren
#

s2 probably too

placid ermine
#

btw is it just me or are eu links sluggish

oak tangle
#

that's not what i was saying though

placid ermine
#

and na work just fine just cant vote there

gaunt moat
oak tangle
#

sets changing our gameplay is interesting for about 1/2 weeks while we get used to it

#

after that it just becomes the rotation. so as long as the change doesn't make it feel shit, then the choice is between damage profile

gaunt moat
#

I understood what you said, but the subtext is that if they don't affect your gameplay, they can't make it bad.

oak tangle
#

yeah but none of the sets do

vestal wren
#

s2 set could lead to some changes in KB usage

gaunt moat
#

except S3, slightly, as mentioned.

vestal wren
#

and it focuses on bleeds, what was the core of the spec for years

oak tangle
#

s3 is a possitive imo though, not a negative

vestal wren
#

so thematically quite good i would say

gaunt moat
vestal wren
#

well yes

#

but talents won't revert to season 2

gaunt moat
#

oh you mean for the future

vestal wren
#

yes for season 4

#

because of the vote

gaunt moat
#

hmm. i'm not sure it would.
Because KB would still be better during DM than with 40% extra nature damage.

oak tangle
#

you'd likely delay kb 4 s

#

or something like that

grim jay
#

Dunno, to me the nature damage buff after DM is just an abomination

vestal wren
#

probably

grim jay
#

No way id vote for that

vestal wren
#

i think the choice is more interessting on sin

#

because for sub it seems fairly obviouse

#

outlaw i am not sure about

royal lantern
grim jay
#

Even assuming the tiersets are equally balanced, the s2 Set has inherent disadvantages

#

You can more easily suffer from bad killtime and its not as universally useful

mortal pond
#

sorry for the question but all the guides conflict with eachother, once i get my 4 set to i drop crimson tempest or keep it for aoe?

gaunt moat
#

I don't think it's interesting for sin, as i said earlier, it's:
S1 - Flat Damage increase
S2 - Anti-synergy set, bad.
S3 - Has gameplay, so favored

vestal wren
#

CT isn't that strong, so many people invest the points into other talents

grim jay
#

Oh no

#

Fuu summoning the CT fanatics

gaunt moat
#

I tried cleave build yesterday, no CT. was probably doing better with it

#

which is kinda sad.

#

but tells a lot about CT

balmy condor
#

You’re lucky he’s probably still asleep

mortal pond
#

allright, so after i get my 4 set i'm dropping CT for the other talents

10/10

basically,
s1 tier, equal smaller burst, until execute.
s2 tier, equal lower burst but sustained
s3 tier, big burst and repeat

Ashes next season whispyr, the prophecy is comin

oak tangle
#

isn't the season 1 4pc 20% bleed

balmy condor
#

Yeah and the 2 pc is 20% poison

#

And the season 2 2pc is big rupture

#

And the 4 pc is nature damage after Deathmark

I’d have to play season 4

you will play it

#

whats the real difference between the sin m+ builds? the one without CT feels kinda miserable if you pull kinda heavy

#

feel like im in legion praying for pb procs

raven egret
#

The one without CT doesn't rely on PB at all, it relies on the 4pc explosion and cleaving KB (and spatter of course)

earnest timber
#

Sorry, lol I guess that was a datona super stretch I should've spoken a bit more clearly.

fringe lily
#

Your shiv is hitting 4 targets amd buffing the bleeds on them

#

The big thing u gotta be careful of is more the lack of sudden demise, rather than not having CT

keen spruce
#

the no-CT build

#

is spatter big target

#

send CDs do big damage

#

big target deadge

#

other targets were already killed by your DH

#

if small targets remaining

#

damage on them don't matter anyways

#

go to next pack

raven egret
#

That's not something to be careful about though, you just hyper focus cleave a target with no CT, spend less time spreading bleeds overall

keen spruce
#

overall worse, dungeon faster

grim jay
keen spruce
#

your group thinks you're bad but you're magically doing dungeons faster now

raven egret
#

Ain't that da truth

grim jay
#

I didnt experience a big decrease in overall tbf

lean portal
#

same

#

the overall diff isnt even big

raven egret
#

Honestly it's just even more dependant on your tank pull patterns, but it doesn't make much of a difference at the end

#

Cleaving a juicy 1mil DPS is always fun

grim jay
#

People on decent key levels all pull more or less the same

oak tangle
#

same fyrakk logs with one change, may help explain why doing less overall can be good

icy acorn
#

what

#

you are not padding on adds and go for boss dmg

oak tangle
#

damage to fyrakk, vs all damage done

icy acorn
#

cant be good

raven egret
#

Yay random logs charts things!!!!

oak tangle
#

was just an addition to the point about cleaving off big targets and making them die faster, while a dh carves up small mobs

icy acorn
#

ah true

#

imo ppl are way too focused on overall dmg

raven egret
#

I mean you can't compare Fyrakk to M+ - the point was you can pick any build for M+ and they will work out close enough

icy acorn
#

doesnt mean that having more overall is bad

oak tangle
#

adds have to die, but if they don't have to die immediately, then let them get passive killed by other peeps while you speed up the fight

earnest remnant
#

how am i supposed to ego check people if my online numbers on a website isnt higher than theirs?

keen spruce
#

The idea is

keen spruce
#

if u have big mob

#

and a bunch of small mobs

icy acorn
#

say you have private logs

raven egret
icy acorn
#

and send some photshoped bar

keen spruce
#

and you do a shit ton of AoE andk ill small mobs

icy acorn
#

with a 105 parse

keen spruce
#

big number on details

#

2mil+

#

very pog

#

but now you have to fight one big mob

#

and killing one big mob slower because you're all in mass aoe talents

#

then u lost time

keen spruce
#

or

#

u just gorilla dick the big mob

#

with some spatter

#

do 1.5m instead

#

let the DH do 2.5m dps

everything dies about the same time

dungeon faster

I dont' even worry about spreading bleeds

most of the time

maybe like a couple of ruptures

at the start of a pack if i'm in between CDs

#

Or really, the game. Pretty sure pressing any button that gains you nothing on any spec isn't recommended 😄

fringe lily
#

Yeah but the guy was talking about the big difference between the CT spec and this week's more ST focused spec

#

It changes the playstyle

keen spruce

it's not this weeks

Hi whispyr

balmy condor

I tell my group to summon me to the next boss when they’re ready

cuz like

balmy condor
#

I’m above measly trash

keen spruce
#

top keys are just cleave all the time pretty much

fringe lily
#

Anything above 24

keen spruce
#

I was still playing arty shock up till like 26s

balmy condor
keen spruce
#

cuz stuff doesn't die

fringe lily
#

You can see the % swap on subcreation every week

keen spruce
#

okay but subcreation is hotdog water

#

and smells like old people

#

i'm sure lots of people swap week to week

fringe lily
#

Yeah, but its still just using the stats of key runs

keen spruce
#

but that doesn't mean you should

#

like if you're doin 24s and captain mobs don't survive a kingsbane even on fort weeks

#

then CT probably gets some better mileage

fringe lily
#

Regardless of whether I should or not - the original question was a someone asking

#

About the playstyle swap of not having CT and using AP

keen spruce
#

oh i mean it doesn't really change

#

you just don't press CT

fringe lily
#

It changes whether you re-apply bleeds or not

keen spruce
#

it didn't for me smile_dog

raven egret
#

Sort of kind of not really

#

I'm a cleave build enjoyer

keen spruce
#

I like CT, but as some point you just kinda start to feel the ST loss

#

and basically everything important in these dungeons

#

is ST

fringe lily
#

I dont disagree, I run AP

#

But the folk on here aren't the majority

#

As we get asked the same question repeatedly

keen spruce
#

ye i played arty shock for as long as i oculd

fringe lily
#

And the stats show that folk swap back and forth

keen spruce
#

then it kinda felt like i was griefing at some point

fringe lily
#

Each week

keen spruce
#

well folk are silly

raven egret
#

Thats why you praise the Abomination in everbloom! These chads are super respectful of our needs and survive long enough for a KB! Usually. .

the same reason you want cleave build on tyran to kill bosses, you want cleave build on fort to kill abombs and witches and etc.
