the only thing i dont have there is caustic spatter and kb, kb is on a seperate wa.
Eh
That's not really true
You're missing out on a lot of really important things
and tracking many useless things at the same time
Where's your Envenom weak aura?
At one point I had two envenom trackers and a timer going
my envenom weakaura only shows when its up
i only use the buff bar, not the rotation bar. it shows pretty much everything i use. When its up. But not trinkets, caustic spatter, kb or dm. kb got a seperate weakaura that shows above the buff bar when its up.
if im only really solid at sin rogue how much of a crutch is that if my guild/team needs a rogue cause we dont have one? i know smolderon and a lot of bosses sub rogue is huge
sin is really good on tindral/fyrakk
it's okay on smold, but sub is noticeably better on smold
outside of smold it's chillin
Is sub as far ahead if you take out smold
okay cool that works for me!
like i can learn but in the immediate time frame id like to be playing sin
fwiw sin is good enough on fyrakk im considering running it over sub for next week's clear since our timings suck for sub. The specs are pretty close there
tindral is probably leaning more toward sub (and sub feels way comfier cause of acro) but sin is still decent
Do you have a stream video when you play sin on smolderon?
you can see timings and stuff from top sin rogues on lorrgs.io
dont really need a video, its hard to see these things from vid
isent it worth waiting to after orbs for buff dmg with kb/dm?
I have one video from reclear from like december but probably not helpful
the beginning of kb doesn't really do much, can just do whatever
no big deal either way
okey, on heroic it made a diffrence for me
as long as it's not like deathmark -> wait 10 seconds -> pick up orbs
proc rng is way more of an impact than whether or not you're waiting 2 seconds to pick up orbs
not really convinced you're noticing the difference or just proccing better
could be that, mabye i just learned to use them better, but i tried saving dm and only used kb untill phase 2. And it buffed up my dps pretty good.
on heroic that'll definitely do it
kill times on mythic mean you just slam on cooldown
and i found it harder to get the whole rotation spotless in phase one. sence its alot of moving around
okey, i have tried smolderon on mythic, that wasent easy. And then i mean to get it all right in phase one. So would be fun to se how other sin rouges do
It’s not really that bad
You have your stack points for everything
Tank slam gets a stack point, the tornados spread in a line on either side so there’s a column to run through for the tank soak people
Rinse repeat forever
It’s a mess really early on prog cause people are just panicking
But once it’s a little more organized
Pretty chill
tbf, the timings are
slam on nearly cd
Thats a important part ofc, when i tried it the guild i was in were still progressing on smolderon. So it was pretty messy. But still even on heroic thats the boss i got most problem with to max my dps. Prob a little mix of everything, not organized enough, bad planing too. But i still feel that on smolderon i should have the option to choose a diffrent spec

That does more consistent dmg
Smolderon has been a sub fight for awhile now
Their dmg spikes line up better for the fight and the orbs
What about outlaw?
we talk about rogue specs here
so you are not a fan of outlaw?
Outlaw is a flat dmg profile. You put your trinkets in the intermission, and you just send your stuff all the time
No thought or planning involved, doesnt benefit much from the dmg and as such isnt great but isnt bad
Okey, so pretty much a beast mastery hunter then?
Rotation wise i mean
just go for it
i will say yes just because it makes a shitton of yellow names angry

not really, outlaw just doesnt really has big burst windows you plan and play around
I'm telling zac
BM has burst cds and dmg windows. Outlaw aims to get maximal uptime on its dmg buffs and is always sending
I gotta start trying out sub and outlaw in low keys and normal raids. Its leaning towards sub right now. I really like sin but as an alternetive spec
Outlaw people are harmless
Except solo. Don’t be mean to solo
bring back pre nerf sin, they did it dirty
ye, they are on their sugar crash rn

That emote…
Anyone know if any changes are coming in assasination?
Yeah. We’re gonna be strong in s4 release then about two to four weeks in they’re gonna nerf us to be mid as hell and leave us there for the rest of the season
🔮
i am living on strong doses of 10.2.6 copium currently
It's too late
now where would you get that idea from? 
Nah it's the best set out of the 3 even with the cringe 4pc
we'll add another progression bar WA line
Big CT 
I just use a couple different light up WAs rather than the bar, with like 6 ticks on the bar it gets confusing
Like my vanish glows red when to use it, tea glows gold, etc
Based
I kinda wish we could to mix and match tier sets. Like s2 2 set and s3 4set could be fun
!spreadsheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I had a nightmare where that set won and we had to KB partway through Deathmark so we max stack it right as DM ends so the nature dmg empowerment applies to the last ticks. Don’t make it a reality
switch up the gameplay for a patch, i'd be down
You think you want that but trust me you don’t
It’s like this current tier set for dev, same power numerically as s2 but utterly wack in real situations since it prolongs ur cds
yeha, down bad
Hello, I have a stupid question and I don't know if anyone can give me an answer. I'm a beginner in Cac classes and I wanted to play a dot class. are feral and assa gameplay similar? what are the differences ? I'm having a hard time deciding between the two.
furries are cringe
mate, thats like, 70% of this channels users 
+yellow name calling others cringe is 10/10
Didn’t realize you were 70% of this channel 
you're an actual dog
????????
how tf are you even typing with those paws
my favorite judge
Low bar fwiw
the Honorable F. McFuckFace
On tswift is it really a matter of preference to play sub or sin? Or are there external buff considerations?
I don’t have to get an orb at all. Im kinda hating sub life cd management. It’s fun on good pulls. Awful when I lose the pacing.
Sin is Totally fine
Just need to Do accelerated opener afaik
If you are in the first bomba
But you are no bomb. Duty
No bombs now. I have a feeling if one of our warriors gets the leggo on Tuesday I’ll get sent up
Whyre you a judge
Iykyk
Our raid comp was scuffed this week so we had almost no ranged. I volunteered to do hose/duck duty cause dead bosses > parsing on wipes. Was rewarded with mythic pips 🙏 and also 6/9M now, the most mythic prog I’ve ever had.
sorry, is this a better color to call furries freaks
don’t dress up and think you’re a dog
yo im 13y old
without summers and autumns
(and some winters but lets not talk about that)
No kink shaming. 
sorry normalise animal kinks
Don’t become the thought police.
Nymue so far has been my favorite boss to do as sin. You feel rewarded for properly playing around the mechanics but can still execute your rotation optimally pretty much every pull
Conversely Larodar was hell (for the healers that had to deal with my greedy ass)
you know, the funny part is
for 90% its not even a kink, its just a hobby


he just like me fr
Do we have anyone in here rocking 4k ish IO i'm wondering what you consider BIS for M+
i'm 2850 but idk if i need to move something around to do more dmg to push 28+ keys
I was using Archon but it seems to have deleted the assassin load out
dont wanna discourage u or anything but as assassination u wont be able to do it
if u want high r.io rogues hop in the outlaw channel
and just a heads up
the current highest rogue rn is about 3.9
Is anyone actually 4k io
dont think so
Asking about 28’s when he’s at 2850 
asking about 28's when he's in assa channel 
LOL true
is there even an assa player in this channel that plays assa in high keys
even zero went outlaw lately
🥚
I think the survivability just isn’t there
im unsure why, but this overwhelmed my brain
Idk tho my highest key is a 24 so I’m no authority
agg
i have a 27 brh, so can count it as a 24 also
It gets pretty impossible above like 3.6k
U can't live on half the keys and even where u can live ur bad at add swapping for bosses like brh last boss, everbloom last boss, thorns boss WM
I hit like 3550 and went sub instead which at least can live
Sub and outlaw actually takes like 20% less dmg than sin
It's nuts
Through passive DRs and more vers
sub defensives in m+ goin crazy with the dark brew build
extra leech wdym 
i sometimes feel like a leech
Sin gets more leech than the other two from the same talent
How much more
we need to get overleech
no cap
acting like a
uh shield
sorry cant type a whole sentence
shitwatch!
Overleach with 300% max HP cap
Ye this would be good
Sin actually does leech a lot just it's worthless most of the time
yea im just smart like that sometimes
good enough for blue slilken uptime huh
But honestly 12% leach is not that much
If you do 200k St that's only 24k hps
And mechanics truck you for much more than that
Ur HP pool like 850k
i do 200k st?!?
So leaching from a full health hit gonna take like 35s
Just example
i was asking........
no you dont, but he does
i dont have details nor any keys done in the past many time
its fine, neither do we
this assa channel, you wont find key doers here
With no external buffs
man, its so crazy
like
its rogue deffensive stuff
and we reached the point where thats not enough
imagine telling somebody that 2 years ago
"yeha, cant push with that rogue spec, its too squishy"

and assa got more tanky with the update cus elusivness is really good now

actually ye its very cool now
to the point u dont rly need more than8-10% avoidance in ur gear
or something like that
but sin idk
push above 25s
like trying to break a wall with ur head
its not happening
It's only because all of the 1shots aren't aoe
Well actually I mean some of the aoe ones still get you very low
Like tree boss dht
If you don't feint u die
If you do ur 10% hp
As assa
If I tried on a 30 I would prob die
Ret pala had it after rework
Guess what happened
You mean like sub has? 
Hey all, new here. Looking at assassination guides on Wowhead, but also looking at Raiderio and I can't tell what the correct build to go is. I see some builds go down the right party of the tree with scent of blood + sudden demise, but don't take poison bomb or dragon-tempered blades and then other builds go and take that, but don't take the right side. Some builds are even skipping over crimson tempest? I have no idea
go with any 🙂 they are all equal the just have slightly different playstyles
sudden demise is a more bleed focussed / multi dotting style, whereas the others are more of a cleave kingsbanes off a single target. I recommend the sudden demise at lower key levels which takes some power away from kb's if mobs are dying before you can have all the ticks go through
The cleave build is primarily for high m+ like 23 and above, wouldn't use it below that
Although it's nice for tyrannical weeks for pure st
why is assa placed in C Tier for m+? Currently I am doing 20s and I feel like assa is very strong dmg wise. Especially, when mobs are lasting long enough?
thats the biggest problem, they dont last long enough
and even if they do you are not doing more dam than the other 2 specs
If u play with Dhs and Hunters and Rets and Fury wars mobs get deleted
bleeds dont even tick 😄
you can do insane dam, if the pull is good, if there is a big target which nobody else is focusing, and you have pi
happens once in a while, but almost impossible in pugs i feel like
did this WM 22,before the tree boss tank pulled everything,pressed everything on the witch
i did something like 1mil dps
its all about having spatter before u press KB
big dam happening
also in rise,before last boss the 3 mob pack
thats a full send on the drake
and the packs before lady waycrest
Cause youre mostly comparing to bad players. People that are struggling timing 20s
And 20s this season isn't something to brag about
Stop caring about tierlists. Sin is good enough for the most content
Tierlists are just bait
yeha its just
yes assa is weaker then outlaw/sub for m+
but it still strong and 1 of the best melee options tbh lol, just kinda sucks in lower keys cus stuff dies too fast so you cant really do your big aoe dmg that has windup
It's fine in lower keys
Just play sudden demise
You don't need windup it pops everything
I do my weekly 18s as assa
It's quite fun
Both dawn keys and Throne are rly fun as ass cause most packs have a good kb+spatter target
But yeah Sudden Demise is a fun way to yoink overall from those pesky dh/ret 😈 assuming they don’t 100-0 the shitter mobs, 1 tick of CT will snipe em
Luckily fall was a quick and easy dungeon for farming Nicks
Super obvious when to cd and what to send on
This season is making me appreciate DF dungeons more
is a season that made me not carrying about playing keys outside farming GV chests
generally ngl
i dont like DF
you see I'm on board, until I think about ruby life pools
or azure vault without skipping all the frogs
After they fixed ruby like 2 weeks into the patch
It was among my favourites this entire expac ngl (including all old ones)
Academy first and rlp second
Ye and we have to remember
Thundering
Was a thing
Which made many things more annoying

RLP was a banger

Imagine caustic splatter no nerfs in AA
imagine caustic splatter in "insert any dungeon or raid encounter in the last 8+ years"
S1 SL kiting meta woulda been kinda sus for Spatter, woulda been big for IC though
Why kite when you can Thrash 
tanks just couldn't tank. Vdh was meta bc it was best at kiting, took them like two rounds of buffs to all tanks
why thrash when you can just not play m+ and enjoy life instead
engi-belt target dummies / boomkin treants were very high demand
i dont know if anyone is using whysper's WA but it does display unused abilities when changing specs
thats when on sub
on sin its not as bad but now im wondering if pistol shot would have poison rounds

it don't do that shit for me man idk
go into the load settings and change them back to the specs they're intended for
i didnt touch anything since i got it but the ones that keep showing didnt have the spec load ticked
yah
also thanks
thats me for the last month
took me some time to realise it tho
sad life
not really anything wild tbh
either cds on pull->shield->boss until dead
or pull->shield->golem->boss until dead
aight so its either on boss or adds
depeends if your group needs add or boss dmg
thats still to be seen, we starting today with fyrakk
your first 2-3 days will be exclusively p1 anyway
like
takes a good bunch of time until people manage to dodge beams and lines
How hard do blaze lines hit on mythic
depends, are you pressing feint or not


why not 26
pressed feint
Hey don’t parse shame me

true
my biggest issue currently is getting the new priest used to pressing pi
new guild had a priest that was used to give PI to bm hunters
and is now giving to me
first 10 pulls he was using it on pull instantly 
well he used it correctly for like 3 pulls
now he either completly forgets it
or gives it to me after 40 sec
so exactly between cooldowns
is there a wa i could send him so he gets a popup for pi? 
just asked, he is just relying on the whisper sound currently
doesnt seem to work well
My priest got a weak aura for DM so now it’s been great
ye gonna talk with him about it later
Which talent do i sacrifice for aoe blind on fyrakk?
Deadned nerves? (5% physical dmg reduction)
does Bonespike benefite from Nightstalker? guessing it doesnt
the instant damage does
On Whispyr's YouTube cooldown usage video, he suggests a cast sequence macro for Shiv, ShadowStep, Kingsbane, Garrote, Envenom.
What does this look like?
Is there a way of adding Death mark to it? Like, if it's off CD use it, if not, ignore command?
Is there a reason why I shouldn't add Death mark to the list, since it's also supposed to be used as soon as it's available?
fuck no I don't do that
whispyr suggesting cast sequence? take away his purple color
im not trusting that guy anymore
the only thing I suggest with cast sequence macros is removing them from the game
maybe its your evil alter ego
I can do the opening sequence in my sleep I think, its just about repitition
@woeful meteor you prefer deadend nerves over recuperator?
exactly, if we find enough shitty improvements for bonespike only, one day it shall overtake garrote

deadened nerves is useless recup is turbo bugged and just doesnt work half the time so it's useless as well 
pick your poison
Whispyr on council: just bonespike or you reckon I need to use Scent of Blood/CT
dont use either 🙂
well, at least recup sometimes works, i guess?
also why tight spender over imp ambush
yeh like tamaran said, neither
Rypsihw strikes again
i didn't even know blinside was nerfed 
aight pi problem solved, sent the priest a wa and now he almost presses it correctly
but i'm looking at the talents taken on wclogs
and only 6% of kills had tight spender, everyone else had imp ambush
Exhibit A, your Honour
that's not a suggestion
that's a "if you wanna troll yourself go for it"
at the end of the day you're the one playing the game
if you wanna be dogshit you can make that choice
just leave my name out of it
Why is it a bad idea? I've never heard of sequence macros before
because they're incredibly rigid
swapping talents cause synergys got nerfed is hard 
you learn nothing about why you're pressing the buttons, you have no control over what you're actually doing
and if your macro fucks up at any point in the chain, rest in piss
you're playing sub now though, can i really trust you... 🤔
I killed Tindral on Sin this week 
I see
Alright, gonna go ahead and try tight spender, thanks! 🙂
I do this in farm content where I dont feel like calculating the kill time
Screeym, the Evil Twin
assa feels really nice on tindral
nothing feels nice on tindral
hope its padded
Need an assa reclear on tindral to remove my disgusting sub green parse
Our healing officer is a 5head, benched himself on tindral
When are we leaning more towards the bleed build in M+? Yesterday we did some 24s and I was playing the poison focused build and lacking a bit of dmg, falling behind a demo and a shadow by roughly 20k dps
arterial is mostly lower keys like weekly 20s
the higher you go, the more value generally gets put on prio damage and single target
which is where the poison focused build comes in
hello mighty whispyr. What build would you then recommend for 24s upwards? Going middle + right side? (if leaving arterial behind)
they're all viable
you just gotta pick what you wanna do
if you wanna do more overall, should keep crimson tempest and play like a hybrid thing
people have been playing this
as disgusting as it is
seems to work
if things are dying too quick and you need to move damage out of kingsbane
just go full arterial
move the DTB stuff to sudden demise
it's just what you need
yeah I guess its the beauty of the talent tree. So many things seem to be working and you can adapt
generally there's 2 big thoughts to do
- are you taking DTB, cause that's a big jump for kingsbane/prio/caustic damage
- are you taking CT, if you aren't you're getting a bit more low target cleave and single target, if you are then you're getting a bit more aoe
CT in like everbloom for example has the potential to be one of the biggest damage sources
but if you as an individual think that it's all pad and you decide you're boss/abomination duty
then fuck the CT, grab dtb, smash them
seems logic. Thank you very much
np
when playing the screenshotted build I guess we are using deadly poison + instant? Since we do not have amplifying
yah
What’s your guys thoughts on the current state of assa in m+? I’m not a sin main since I do not have any clue but it always seems that sin lacks behind every other spec in every season. This season it started really well but was burned down afterwards with the nerfs.
It feels like sin always needs to much prep and too much attention to be viable. I love this spec, just curious what the experts think about this.
unless you want to push 28s or 29s it is irrelevant
assassination is fine, tuning is just lower than f.ex. #outlaw
i think ive found the specc that doesnt have a rotation
(kinda irrelevant but funny and real)
the rotation is basicly 2 lines 🤣
''rotation''

idk man,it has both and its pretty much the same
u just multishot for beastcleave thats all
''use barbed shot for 3 stacks with 100% uptime''
''intelligently''

yeah I mean beast mastery is famously a simple spec
why dont i just play bm
but 2 lines is a bit reductive idk
sry its basicly 3 my mind was focused on the quantity of spells used
yeh it's a lot of shorter/medium cooldowns
barbed shot is short cd
kill command is short cd
death chak is a medium ish
they got some cdr on stuff
they still gotta press buttons
but it's a lot of "press on cd" for sure
yup
idk man,ive tried BM on some keys now,as an ''escape'' from playing rogue 24/7
i just do 200k+ overalls 465ilvl
its so simple anyone can play it
yep
Idk, you just need to ignore your defensive
Just dont press any of your 50 defs
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
if i have macro "/cast mutilate" does it still change to ambush?
yap
it might appear too much of a reaction but

Do you always aim to be above 50% energy for sanguine blades?
No
IIRC you want to envenom chain if you have 4 set over worrying about sanguine blades
!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
whispyr sir sorry for the tag but an irrelevant question
do u think rogue suffers somewhat for alot of buttons to press
as in a ''bloaty'' class in general
and if yes which specc do u think is the most out of the 3
TY!!
!macro
😒
Does anyone have any good macros I need? Coming from wrath so any tips would be super helpful
not really many things
can macro kingsbane and shadowdance togheter
and deathmark+active trinkets
thats it

yes ping
pignged

You can macro shadow step to things you really don't want parried too, but use at your own risk.
We getting hero talents revealed tomorrow, likely to have one of the rogue ones in there
Poggers. We get slow mode
we get too see the tree that makes outlaw op in m+ again
Or the tree that makes sub broken in raids again

wonder what rogue hero talents we get
Hopium, we see the one that will be amazing and awesome and all
ive got a hunch,might be compleetly wrong,we are getting something like an avatar
idk why
this idea is inside my brain for quite a while
Whatever it is I hope its a Sin one, still not a fan of shadowdust on sub, doubt a hero talent would change that. So, in Sin we trust
For assassination probably something strong they'll be able to nerf to the ground after 3 weeks
nerfed into mediocracy ;3 my beloved
My bets on sub/ol and it doubles down on the CDR or extra charges
theoritically speaking, if i were to do this
#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Kingsbane
/cast Thistle Tea
thistle tea would cast after kingsbane?
Wasn't it rumoured that we'd be getting a shadow clone typea thing
I think so, but don't do that. You want tea at the end of Kingsbane, not the start.
Like 9-10 seconds after you cast kingsbane
Kingsbane lasts 14 Seconds iirc
You tea and shiv with like 3 secs left of kB
yes it does
if i were to macro tea on something, what could that be
or just dont?
Yeah, tea mastery buff only lasts 5 or 6 seconds, it doesn't really line up well with anything for a macro
Id keep it unmacroed personally,
Shiv lasts 8 seconds, vanish at the end is 3
If you really don't have the button space, vanish would be better so it lasts for the final few ticks, but ideally don't macro it.
It's nice to use your extra tea charges every now and then when your low energy too, just make sure you save a charge for your burst
so we need it xD
Like all the top builds use it so if you wanna min/max then Defo imo
I don't really look at the numbers, but I really like tea. It feels good and bails me out when I fuck up pooling for my non-DM kingsbane
in terms of numbers what kind of dps loss would no tea make?
ill just have it though ok
Resource management is massive as assassination, thistle also helps with that am
If you didn't use tea you'd probably have to go with a haste heavier build and that's not really ideal in the current "meta" of things
To get a number you'd have to sim it yourself aye but I'd reckon I'd be quite marginal for most players
sim it is my suggestion, but not having tea sounds like a pain in the butt
even if not for the mastery buff for the last 6 seconds
what are some things that i should rly be tracking? in terms of buffs or whatever
not dots
neither cds
just buffs to maintain and such
envenom is important imo because of the chaining
aura stuff
and thats about it i guess if you dont wanna track cds/dots
!wa
Assassination Weakauras/Plater profiles:

Devlin's Group
Ceverion's Plater
Whispyr's Plater
Pooling Practice Tool
would also take a kingsbane wa
(im using notters)
it just tells you when to shiv/tea/vanish
really convenient
i could use that i think
thanks!
Buff wise you don't really have to worry about snd as envo will keep it up no problem, I don't think you'd need a w/a for any buffs, just for tracking CDs and bleeds
My advice is The thing that'll improve your skill as sin most imo is learning to pool energy so you can envenom back to back for the set bonus, other than doing that the rest of the rotation is pretty scriped so id just hit a target dummy for abit and get the muscle memory down
very well
i hope not
wdym, more cds for sub
lets make it 70seconds cd aswell
just for fun

make playing sub even more of a headache with cd timings
On a different note my guild archived 5/9 mythic last night, big pog
Any rouge tricks or tips for larodar prog?
you can use cloak as a dps cooldown on the fight
can i make this macro swap depending on spec?
#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Poisoned Knife
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Shuriken Toss
unsure why you would wanna do that, actionbars change when changing specs no?
rogue has other specs?

ye it has sub rogue for smolderon and tindral
weird never heard of it

Yeah, windwalker is the best one atm
spinny spin

Zar when someone mentions
Quake when he
Oxi
When I
scan
on m+ i use crimson tempest on boss too? st?
no
how relevant is the sudden demise pop damage in m+?


Why are you a hater man
I admit nothing


Tell Willow I love her and hope she gets a treat and a nap
shes trying to steal my pills is that a treat

Don’t kill ur cat wtf
I said TRYING not that I was letting her!

Hey girl

I think it kinda depends on what perspective you decide to take. Like assassination macros shadow dance, sub macros cold blood, so that “removes” a button, but if you’re just a casual player you probably won’t know that and the result would be everything on its own button. From that perspective I think yeah, it’s a bit much. The mutilate/ambush change is nice for that for assassination, but I think subtlety suffers a lot more from the bloat. Outlaw is spammy but the buttons aren’t actually that crazy, and you could kinda argue that lots of buttons all at once is sorta outlaws theme anyway. Assassination could do with maybe 1-2 buttons removed, sub probably 2 as well. I think the biggest stuff for that would probably be covenant abilities, cold blood/tea. Having something like sepsis for assa is kinda neat, but aberrus last tier showed how confusing it is to play, and it kinda filled the role we have now with kingsbane. On sub’s side it’s much less interesting as well. Bone spike on assa was cool in shadowlands, but we have other ways to aoe now and our ramp is long enough without trying to snipe and cleave bone spikes. It’s just not fitting into the spec. Echoing reprimand I respect a lot for trying to do something interesting with combo points, we don’t see a lot of combo point stuff in general, but at the same time it’s not all that exciting for any of the specs and 7 combo points is already something sub/outlaw have so it’s pretty ??????? In terms of cooldowns. Cold blood is just a dumb ability in general from an era where stuff like that was the interesting choice. That’s not the game anymore. Thistle tea kinda the same thing tbh. Without the mastery tacked on it’s pretty meh, and buffing the energy won’t do anything numerically and cause more headaches, it’s just not really a great button overall. You could also argue that we have a lot of non-rotation stuff, evasion, cloak, feint, vial, step, sprint. Those are a little more off-limits for people when talking about buttons to remove, but hell, removing healthstones or gateways would free up a space too for a lot of people.
From my personal perspective, I don’t think the specs are too bloated, but I’ve also been playing rogue since WoD and I got a ton of keybinds to work with so my perspective isn’t really all that important here since it doesn’t impact me. But it is a lot of buttons for a lot of players out there. Buttons a lot of the time add complexity, but stuff like cold blood, tea, they don’t really add complexity as much as they just add one more thing for your weakauras. I’d prefer stuff like the 4 set, sanguine blades, etc to help push complexity. Like blizzard could ditch all the covenant stuff and lean into pooling for assassination as a gameplay feature instead of the 1.5% dps it’s worth now. That would keep a part of the spec “complex” without adding any buttons, rotation altering without shoving shit like tea into it.

congrats on writing all that on mobile
wish I could tea irl
it's such a longer cast irl :/
Y’all don’t got thumbs?
Willow took all my thumb
My least favorite talents with the old talent system when I didn’t have as expanded of a pallet of keybinds were the active talents
Because of the feeling of increasing bloat
(Old as in mop talents)
One thumb huh
For me the major challenge block for buttons is the GCD vs off GCD distinction. Having tons of buttons which are all on the GCD isn’t really a problem for me
Because you always have the GCD time to hit them and don’t have to combo them in sequence on the same GCD or between GCD
waiter!! more off gcd buttons please
It’s why buttons like Symbols always tripped me up for finding a keybind when setting up sub
It’s also a problem for Dance for me, but dance has a very distinct flow for assa right now so it was easier to incorporate AND it’s used by all 3 specs so placing on the same keybind helped be flexible
This was actually a Problem when df came out for me
My sd bind Was the bte bind on my law
That one Was weird to adjust
And for sin ct was in the sd bind
Not saying I don’t like off GCDs inherently, they’re just a part of the puzzle that can make things harder for setting up keybinds and managing button bloat
The Thing is, if you have many off gcd things it feels weird to play another class
Like i had often the Problem, when i played my monk thst i Pressed Tiger in gcd
And didnt realize it. Because im used to have my CDs offgcd
u can blacklist the duplicates of garrote and whatever else comes twice on the nameplates?
or ots the exact same id?
its*
Yeah, different id’s
perfect
The deathmark duplicates are in the 400,000 range
The originals should be closer to like 1000
I need to remove the bloat from dots, i dont think i need to have every single dot on the plates do i?
Where my sponsership 
Mostly just gar/rup
Crimson tempest also isn’t entirely necessary cause it’s hitting everything most of the time
great
i dont need the passive poisons either right? i mean lethal and nonlethal 1hour buffs
or its good to track?
from what i see so far i can have only garrote, rupture, shiv, kingsbane? anything else?
naw, I can pound an energy drink then go take a 3 hr nap no problem
Tracking poisons could be okay, most people have a reminder to tell them to refresh the hour buff
woof

Tracking envenom for tier
Otherwise yeh good to go
no i meant the dot on enemy plates
oh yes envenom
noting that too lol
Oh, probably just gar rup
Shiv/kingsbane is better tracked on a target level with a weakaura tbh
You’re not gonna cast kingsbane/shiv and then swap targets
hmm i see
8 more hero talents tomorrow
assass doesnt have any cd reduction aspects like sub and outlaw right? the cds are standard?
!prekey
guess nothing for prekey needed
the kingsbane/dance macro, its important to put shadow dance 1st?
yes
these 2 cds will always line up right? neither of them gets reduced by anything
yes
yes
excellent
I love when you do the long talk
Big dog?
Keep combo points, remove energy, profit.
With sub and assa, you always have energy when you need it. anyways

Most people running toxin thorn foot wraps or BSL?
there's a couple people running BSL, specifically for m+, but it's in no way common
Cool thank you
Your YouTube guides have been super helpful btw
Hard agree. I don’t think I’ve actually felt this level of understanding of a spec before and it’s largely in part to how well you explain not just the what but the why. For me it’s really hard to lock it in when the best guides for a spec are essentially “do this because it make number big, end video”
dont compliment him
he gets awkward when people are nice to him
whispyr feeds off disappointment

hey I just killed a druid
just one? as a rogue you can do better. kill all druids.
Congrats Zar. Sorry I wasn’t there 

one was enough for now
Yes
I’m sorry 
Please forgive my transgressions
Depends when I get home from work or if I decide to work from home
Game time decision ya know
You know what judge mcfuckface? I’m sick of your shit
Fair
Lmfao
That is already way better than cocomelon
Would never let my kids watch that shit
Quake actually has bangers waiting for him and he just doesn’t watch them
My son is into blippi rn
It’s so depressing
And little Einsteins
Smh how bald of him
thx my man,had this conversation with a brewmaster monk from my guild about bloating in classes in general and was mentioned that brewmonk was the most ''bloated'' specc in the game so it moved my curiosity.had to ask
No I don’t
I’ve watched every single one
It may take me a few days
still cant understand how brew is that ''bloaty'' but didnt get into comparison with rogue,cant really know,havent played brew ever
But when I see a missed message from my goat I read it

banger
@storm belfry @gilded oasis This man just angry reacted me because he picked the Mesopotamian standing worshipper statue and lost

@spice spire explain yourself

I fucking lost bud
Pissed me off 😡

what's new? I'm fresh from almost 2 weeks in hospital
wb

Brew is definitely bloated tbh, got a fuck ton of buttons
@spice spire can I get a 48 hour mute so I stop posting I here while I’m harrmwred
!mute @runic hinge 48h self mute
Monka
brew unironically needs some passives
Slice and Dice should be hanged and quartered.
branch do we just macro into deathmark? or do we want to use it separately?
Branch to deathmark, ashes to kingsbane
lol 48 hours is a long time to be drunk haha
Yup went yday from simulationcraft to check the spell quantity and stuff.. Comes out they got about 70 apm,guess alot of stuff obeys to GCD,but they got many procs happening
they also got a ''slower'' version (niuzao) about 65 apm
but specc is like a lottery or something
procs happening
cook snd into mastery for sub
i believe

Only with this mindset
While pooling i can afk autoattack for 3-4 globals, then mutilate x2 > envenom and repeat
?
no you wanna pool on finishers instead of builders
will allow you to chain finishers more easely, and you wont waste energy by proccing while building
Oh so after the pooling the 1st move will be envenom not mutilate for example
I like pooling
But its tough to get over the mentality, no casting =dps dlos
Loss*
but here its increase
yeah it's cause we aren't gcd capped like most others
hmm?
assa is more or less gcd capped
how so











drinkin my haterade
