Bro poisoned knife has never left my spell book

balmy condor
#

you're telling me shift2, a prime keybind

#

is POISONED KNIFE

gaunt moat
#

are you insane? it's shift+f

balmy condor
#

instead of literally

#

any other ability

#

only crazy people don't use shift F for PK

gilded oasis
#

well it was shift 1 but I needed somewhere to put ambush

gaunt moat
#

SHIFT 1 for PK???

#

that's prime realestate

proven jasper
#

yall out here using prime realestate

How do you think they’re going to double down on Kingsbane

proven jasper
#

FOR POISNED KNIFE??

gilded oasis
#

I like PK how else was I supposed to keep poisons up and get CP while running around?? hello

plain moon
#

Gentleman realize poison knife is shift+v

gaunt moat
#

i can't

spice spire

PK is literally unbound

#

Ur all lit

Zar is too far gone

gilded oasis

most my keybinds are on my mouse or ctrl modified

proven jasper
#

I seriously don’t think ive pressed poisoned knife a single time in my now 3 years of playing assa

shy heron
#

Shift+v is shadowstep

gilded oasis
spice surge
#

I threw a poison knife or two on sark to get some extra cp before going down after p1

#

But its not like it was consequential

gaunt moat
#

PK is even bugged

proven jasper
#

just make pk a nuke

#

ill press it then

#

Yeah doesnt pk reset ur poison stacks?

gaunt moat
#

PK doesn't apply two stacks of poison, but only if it's deadly poison

royal lantern
gilded oasis
#

ok well it wasnt always bugged

proven jasper
#

close enough

gaunt moat
#

basically, it only matters if you're trying to build stacks of poison during Kingsbane using PK
like, don't

#

(unless you're playing deathstalker, that's ALL ABOUT poison knife)

I clicked on outlaw and it said something like 1k+ message in the last hour??

Are they dooming or are they just real happy x)

royal lantern

dooming

#

tree is bad

#

really really bad

void mesa
#

I think it has some interesting concepts

#

But overall it seems... meh

spice spire

Defensives as damage is unpog

void mesa
#

Yeah

spice spire

Hate it here

shy pecan
clever sapphire
regal sable
#

if distract actually becomes ranged smoke bomb i maybe be pogging

void mesa
#

That choice node felt wacky and just funny

#

The smoke bomb thing felt... like a cool brainstorm that wasnt done cooking?

regal sable
#

90 sec ranged smokebomb that lasts 2x as long as the 3 min smokebomb

clever sapphire
#

im not even sure whats worse, feint becoming a builder and actual dps cooldown, or that the rest of the nodes could just be a "your finishers do more dmg"

regal sable
#

but its probably just flavor text

spice spire
#

Idk. I’m not going to comment on the thought process behind everything because I’m sure people worked very hard on it, and it was a time consuming ordeal.
I can say I’m not a fan of utility/defensives being moved to a damage option, and have always been outspoken about how much I dislike it

void mesa
#

I think the idea of the Fazed proc may not be too bad, but also, outlaw mayyy become too random proc at some point, or these wont be significant enough and it will be fully ignored

clever sapphire
#

the reasoning i can see behind it is legit that outlaw and sub are spamming feint currently anyways and thats the only ability really in common with the 2, so they just tried to make that button more effective

hallow token
#

of ~course~ the first rogue hero talent tree they show is sub/outlaw.

#

going to have to fix assassination before they can do either of our hero options.

shy pecan
#

Eh. Not like it matters. If anything, people getting up in arms over the first passes of the tree

hallow token
# royal lantern fix what

the 3% across the board damage nerf they applied to Assassination back in December, for one thing.

regal sable
#

just get more vers

#

?

hallow token
tepid hornet
#

i rly like assass but also rly dont like thistle tea what a bummer, but ure kinda forced into it

regal sable
#

sorry im saying something equally as dumb because ur post made me laugh

#

if a 3% aura nerf that gets normalized literally every xpac is what makes a spec "broken" and warrant fixing in ur eyes idk

balmy condor
#

Assassination is a broken and unplayable package

#

Give me 3% number big

#

Such a nuanced and well thought out position could only come out of the forums

regal sable
#

wait im about to blow his mind

#

7% aura buff earlier so

#

we're actually at net +4%

#

you're 104% efficiency

#

modified by vers

#

holy fuck assassination is fixed

#

login

#

raid rn

royal lantern
#

like???????

#

everytime i think im cooked i read stuff like that

balmy condor
regal sable
#

i love assa chat

#

its good to be back

balmy condor
#

Slight correction though, that 7% means 107%

#

Already factoring in all the + and - nerfs

royal lantern
#

thats when this channel peaked

regal sable
#

oh so the -3% nerf post 7% buff is actually a 3.21% nerf?

hallow token
regal sable
tepid hornet
#

why dont they buff assass if its considerably weaker than the other specs? and was it stronger earlier in this expac?

#

also how was it in shadowlands?

balmy condor
#

Cause it’s -3% of whatever it was before

#

They’re multipliers

#

Like say a spec aura is 150%

#

A 3% nerf wouldn’t be 147%

#

Because that’s not 3% of 150

regal sable
#

yeah but if the spec is 100% baseline, buffed by 7% to 107%
then 3% of 107 is 3.21?

balmy condor
#

Yeah, so it was 110.21 before

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

(Most likely they just chopped the decimals off though)

regal sable
#

yea

#

ok now we just need exsang back

and we're gaming

why does garrote need a cd to begin with? In what does it help the balance?

and nothing does dmg outside of kb

750k isn’t that big

royal lantern

ye, with cds its like 2million

feelscryman the secret bug

tepid hornet

ive been swapping specs back n forth almost a week now, i like most aspects of all of them but i like many things on assas but that damned thistle tea i dont like that as a whole

hallow token
# regal sable for u to know everything i say is pointless

If you're not good enough to solo with assassination in PVP you can still have fun causing trouble. Like stuns in interrupts and dismantling and shiv for healing reduction and all that, to help tip things in your teams favor. Or stealthing off to unattendaed flags or whatever.

balmy condor
# regal sable ok so no

Talking to you feels like that scene where doctor strange gets punched out of his body and floats there like a spirit except I have to watch myself have a stroke trying to read words you say

not discord banned

wow banned

is it a positiv or negativ bug ? 🙂

no dps pls

#

I have noone to share my pain for dislking thistle tea with why dors everyone here seem to love it its such garbage as a mechanic

#

coukd it be you are used to it

royal lantern
#

i accept tea

#

would not sheed a tear it its gone, but w/e that it exists

tepid hornet
#

thankfully we dont have to constantly apply slice n dice too thats another meh mechanic

regal sable
royal lantern
#

yes yes YES

embrace SnD hate

regal sable
#

we like tea

#

it also uses 2% milk icon on it

royal lantern
regal sable
#

i say we a lot im sorry

#

i do mean me

spice spire
tepid hornet
#

yea sure could just take it out and fix those problems by not needin it in the 1st place

regal sable
#

yea but we could take out bleed maintenance and snd and every other mechanic in the game

#

and u could auto attack for 200k dps

tepid hornet
#

yea not going that far but idk maybe im weird for not liking it as a mechanic

royal lantern
#

im proud that somebody starts enjoying rogue and allready hates SnD

tepid hornet
#

thistle tea - snd = old and outdated

royal lantern
#

eh, tea not really

balmy condor
#

tea and snd are definitely old and outdated, but they aren't really causing issues either

royal lantern
#

^

tepid hornet
#

no they dont

regal sable
#

bring back hunger for blood

royal lantern
#

again, tea is a non issue for rogue cus its just "use when yellow bar low" in most cases

SnD for assa might aswell doesnt exist

#

is SnD stupid and kinda pointless? yeha sure

is it a problem that needa to be solved? not really when we have free talents that make you never re-cast it anyway, focus on more important things instead

balmy condor
#

I can't believe I read a 3 paragraph tryan post and went "what a reasonable response"

royal lantern
#

🫡

tepid hornet
#

but thistle tea u have to use at least once every kingsbane under 6 sec? so u need to mamage it to have at least 1 right?

shy pecan
#

❤️ Tryan

royal lantern
#

thats 1 use at the very beginning of a fight, and then automaticaly will line up for every single kingsbane

#

cus kb 1min cd and tea 1min for a charge

tepid hornet
#

So u basically have 2 charges to use when u think u need em

royal lantern
#

yes

#

the kingsbane charge is always up for kingsbane

tepid hornet
#

still dont see how it helps it kinda helps and doesnt i mean i can press tes cause im low yes then what ill do 2 mutilates and a finishiner and im back at the same

#

maybe im just bad

royal lantern
#

lets you keep envenom running for a bit longer

tepid hornet
#

i would pref to just do nothing than actively press an ability to get some energy for an extra finisher but its just the mastery dmg increase makin it mandatory

royal lantern
#

or you can use a tea to get energy before a kingsbane cus you went a bit careless with energy when it was about to come up

hallow token
tepid hornet
#

around how much haste u guys have

royal lantern
#

30%

no, haste will not make a big difference in Energy

shy pecan
#

🙂

tepid hornet
#

the dots tick faster!m

#

?*

shy pecan
#

They help with dots ticking, yes.

#

But same could be said with crit, vers, and mastery.

hallow token
tepid hornet
#

Im checkin the whysprvvids now ill see that too

#

So i vanish every 2nd kingbane btw?

#

Which goes off with deathmark

balmy condor
#

yes

#

deathmark and vanish is 2 min

#

kingsbane is 1 min

#

so every other kingsbane will be deathmark and vanish as well

tepid hornet
#

so the vanish will always be at last 3 sec of kingsbane

#

The same applies in m+?

#

I shouldnt use vanish just to spread garrotes on adds for whatever reason?

#

Just keep it for a kingsbane?

shy pecan
#

You can use vanish for spreading garrotes, yeah.

#

Or dance.

hallow token
#

If you have a boss fight happening or likely to happen before vansih refreshes, i'd not use it for random garrotes and would save it for the boss. but also, if you are playing shadow dance, that's less of an issue, I think.

royal lantern
#

on adds you probs get more value for using it to spread bleeds if you need to do it, or for aoe silencing with garrote

balmy condor
#

yeh vanish for kingsbane is only in single target

hallow token
#

am a big fan of the aoe silence on garrote from stealth. very satisfying.

storm forum
#

Necro-ing the tea talk a bit, but I love tea cause it bails me out when I play badly (don't pool for non-DM KB).

tepid hornet
#

and always enbenon before i pop deathmark dance kingsbane?

#

Why is it important to envenom before them?

storm forum
#

5+ CP env dm shiv dance kb yeah

#

so that it's up for the beginning of KB

#

there are fights where you dont do it in the opener though for timing purposes

tepid hornet
#

but why envenom helps before dm/kingsbane

storm forum
#

DM is 16 sec and KB is 14

tepid hornet
#

It only increases weapon poison application chance? What else

storm forum
#

you only get 1 global between them so they overlap fully, that global is shiv

#

so you need to send env early if you want 100% env uptime during KB

#

the poison application chance is really important during KB because thats what scales the KB damage

#

every poison app is +15% or whatever damage

tepid hornet
#

Oh yes thata why it helps

#

so the plan in the kingsbane window is envenom as much as i can maintaining shiv?

I don't do advanced sims

Deathmark duplicates the dots that were active before u apply it?

hearty swan
#

i truly love sin.... i was determined to practice it and now it feels so comfy

tepid hornet
#

If i have a normal garrote, do deathmark, then apply improved garrote while deathmark is running?

#

What goes then?

balmy condor
#

deathmark will duplicate the improved garrote

tepid hornet
#

Duplication is dynamic?

balmy condor
#

if that's how you want to refer to it I guess

#

deathmarks duplicates whatever is on the target, and whatever is cast during deathmark

tepid hornet
#

Whatever version of a dot is applied at any time during deathmark, that wjat is duplicated?

balmy condor
#

yea

tepid hornet
#

very good to know

#

Does improved garrote have different id?

balmy condor
#

no

tepid hornet
#

Thsn normal one

#

Damn

#

do i cant differenciate it on an aura or plate i guess?

balmy condor
#

most garrote trackers do it via seeing if stealth is active when garrote was cast

oak tangle
tepid hornet
#

yea

oak tangle
#

You can’t differentiate I guess, but you’re talking roughly 20 seconds of time where you just remember it’s buffed

#

Did I stealth apply the last garrotte? Yes? Wait it out

tepid hornet
#

So the main goal of all in kingsbane is keep envenom buff on you and shiv debuff on enemy thats it?

oak tangle
#

Auto attacks and tea windows

#

As well

tepid hornet
#

and top it off with some thistle tea mastery at 6 sec and vanish for stealth crit+ at 3sec

oak tangle
#

Kb is all played towards maximising the last couple of ticks

tepid hornet
#

it gets clearer now i might actually not be lost

oak tangle
#

God forbid you mess up shiv

#

It’s better to have shiv for the end of kb than the start

versed mica
#

The last time I messed up shiv I literally died and went straight to hell

tepid hornet
#

the 2 shivs last for the whole duration of kingsbane easily dont they

oak tangle
#

Yes

tepid hornet
#

So i only every shiv every minute on kingsbane, we dont spare charges outside of it?

it just happens

#

oh for sure. Im glad I got taken off flying lol

#

though it was fun to dive bomb

tepid hornet
#

venomous wounds, its 7 energy per tick of garrote and rupture individually and stacks to 14 with both dots up? or its always 7 no matter if you have just garrote just rupture or both at the same time?

#

Its just 7 for either of them and they dont stack right?

regal sable
#

pre sure it says "each time they deal dmg" which means u get 7 on a rupture tick and 7 on a garrote tick

tepid hornet
#

that on paper on top of 10 energy per sec sounds enough to have a smooth regen, dunno how it feels so dry

spice surge
#

Mutilate costs a lot

regal sable
#

^

balmy condor
#

10 energy per second and 14 energy every 2 seconds

spice surge
#

Before haste youre getting 17 energy per second, mutilate costs 50

balmy condor
#

is 17 energy a second

#

and if you're looking at a 40-50 energy cost per gcd

#

good fucking luck

#

lmao

Shrouded suffocation silence only applies to the very 1st garrote from stealth? or more?

#

wrong, not that talent nvm

#

silence is 6 sec ok

#

But yes, silence garrote is only on the 1st after stealth?

quiet oar
balmy condor
#

improved garrote/subterfuge

tepid hornet
#

so anything talent that is "from stealth" works along subterfuge? improve garrote, master assassin, iron wire, shrouded suffocation?

balmy condor
#

well improved garrote on its own is already 3 seconds

#

so shrouded suff is as well

tepid hornet
#

independent from sub

balmy condor
#

but yes, subterfuge extends stealth effects

#

improved garrote is basically just subterfuge for garrote effects

tepid hornet
#

and iron wire and shrouded suffocation have no duration on their own, they only proc for the 1st hit from stealth, BUT while subterfuge or shadow dance is active, they apply for that whole duration?

balmy condor
#

what

tepid hornet
#

xD

#

i know right

balmy condor
#

nah it's just

#

I know all of those words individually

#

but seeing you string them together like that

#

is very different

tepid hornet
#

so, shrouded suffocation, without subterfuge

#

it would only proc for 1 garrote coming from stealth

#

no more than that

balmy condor
#

do you have improved garrote?

tepid hornet
#

but while subterfuge or shadow dance is up, every garrote will make use of shrouded suffocation?

balmy condor
#

yes

tepid hornet
#

i have improved yes

balmy condor
#

improved makes it 3 seconds then

#

subterfuge would also make it 3 seconds

tepid hornet
#

just trying to understand very specifically which goes with which to make my weak aura

#

i get it now ty

balmy condor
#

np

tepid hornet
#

so much theory to study

balmy condor
#

idk if it's theory so much as just basic talent interactions

#

but sure yeah

tepid hornet
#

yea i jut said it jokingly

#

just

balmy condor
#

idk why we're tracking shrouded suff though

#

the combo points track themselves kinda

tepid hornet
#

maybe i dont need to

balmy condor
#

idk maybe you do

#

I don't personally see any reason to

#

I just watch my combo points

#

but if you need another something to tell you "hey garrote gives 3cp right now" then more power to you

#

that's what weakauras do

tepid hornet
#

mostly wanted to understand if its interaction is with subterfuge or improved garrote

balmy condor
#

yeh

tepid hornet
#

i see they work at the same time but individually and i got confused a bit

balmy condor
#

subterfuge extends everything

#

improved garrote extends garrote things

agile geode
#

what kind of class fantasy is fatebound?

#

assassin 2.0?

#

or something else?

balmy condor
#

fatebound?

#

that's the sub/outlaw tree that got revealed

#

or is it trickster

#

oh it's trickster

#

fatebound dunno

#

that's assa/outlaw

#

could be like manipulating rng stuff

#

chances to proc

#

that kinda stuff

#

coins and secret society shit

#

john wick maybe we get a pistol too

agile geode
#

nooo

#

no pistols pls

clever sapphire
#

we getting a pen

balmy condor

"your fate is sealed"

#

and we get soulcap back

#

and life is good

#

we're back in legion

#

im home

#

back when m+ was a funny "pull everything we overgear" and you hung out with all your guild mates for hours grinding maw of souls

#

and then the tank would try and pull actually everything on the ship

#

and die

#

and you'd laugh about it cause yeah of course that's ridiculous

#

take me home

silk robin
#

i prefer randomness

balmy condor
#

spec is random enough already tbh

#

assa atm is one of the most rng specs in the game

silk robin
#

yeh aside from crit and procs, im talking something like mana tea effect on monks that empower random abilities

agile geode
#

more than outlaw?

balmy condor
#

top 5 most rng specs dps wise are the rng proc build for enchance, frost dk, outlaw, assa, sub

#

storm or whatever the enhance build is called

agile geode
#

i dont know what to expect from hero talent

#

trickster seems cool

balmy condor
agile geode
#

just a defensive cd for dps is not

clever sapphire
agile geode
#

i like the killing spree stuff

balmy condor
#

the idea atm is that they don't really need to press feint for dps

#

cause the uptime is high enough without it

agile geode
#

yea

balmy condor
#

and it wouldn't be worth the gcd rotationally

#

so I think it'll probably end up being mostly fine

agile geode
#

at first impatc it seems like you have to spam it

balmy condor
#

but the feint stuff is a weird choice

#

the rest of the tree is great though

#

it's just the weird feint/distract stuff that's a bit wtf

agile geode
#

just let smokebomb as it was pre legion

#

or pre draenor? i dont remember

balmy condor
#

can't do that

silk robin
#

might just be for pvp, they did the same with speccing into kidney shot bleeds and snd on use for cheapshot

agile geode
#

we'll see with more tuning in future ofc

balmy condor
#

they don't make things "just for pvp"

silk robin
#

kidneyshot doesnt work on bosses tho

#

or cheapshot

balmy condor
#

adds and m+ exist

#

m+ probably more popular than raiding right now

silk robin
#

you right

#

but what would you need aoe parry for

balmy condor
#

that's my point

#

you don't

#

it's basically just flavor text

#

which is really weird to put onto a hero talent tree

#

I think it's a pretty minor design gripe overall though

#

the tree looks good compared to some of the other shit we've seen

silk robin
#

in whispyr we trust, save us

balmy condor
#

I ain't got shit to do with it

silk robin
#

save us all

balmy condor
#

I'm just a dude

#

I just get to post an article on wowhead every now and then

silk robin
#

if you can't make sense of the spec then we are doomed, DOOMED

balmy condor
#

can't wait to do another sepsis cook

#

getting all of that working was brain melting

#

idk

#

the good news is that all the hero talents seem thematic over gameplay

#

like they're just "cool stuff"

#

and I think that's much nicer

#

than like trying to force something that might not work

#

trickster is just "dispatch and sectec do more damage and you get some passive damage"

#

banger

#

neat

spice surge
#

Gotta prep that cast sequence macro

balmy condor
#

I'd fuck with deathmark stuff

#

realisitically if assa is supposed to be a burst spec

#

I'd rather it be in deathmark

#

compared to kingsbane

#

I'm excited for deathstalker too

#

I smell a banger cookin

normal otter
#

Do we know when deathstalker concept will be released?

balmy condor
#

no

#

they just release a couple every week

normal otter
#

Okay 😦

mountain thane was the very first one, and we just got the last warrior one

#

Struggling on my vault and done some sim's etc but it seems counter intuitive... do i take a signet brand heroic (which has eluded me all this time) or Mythic 489 gloves

Currently have 483 Sandglass and 483 gloves

clever sapphire
#

are you mostly playing m+ or raid?

sinful socket
#

its for raid primarily, M+ i just fill vault and chill

clever sapphire
#

answer without you answering: Unless you are doing high end mythic, signet is not worth it

sinful socket
#

we are about to start Smolderon prog

clever sapphire
#

signet is probably the way to go imo

#

atleast in that case

royal lantern
#

i gues yeha

but tbh would personaly grab the gloves and just do smoldy heroic for a chance at the trinket

sinful socket
#

Witherbark/Signet then over the myth track gloves

sinful socket
royal lantern
#

signet just suffers that it is a VERY niche trinket

I'm praying for sin/sub tree to be so goated u never think about pressing feint for dmg

dark token
#

We should get a passive in the sub/sin tree where flagellation gets a 30 sec CD reduction and also applies a stacking shadow dmg poison to the target and kingsbane gains you % haste (or mastery) based on how many combo points u spend in the duration

thats very kinky

also cook instant poison procs on bleed ticks

unrelated to assa

#

but man, the demo/destro tree looks sick af

#

like, THATS what hero trees should be

#

fits thematicaly very very good into those 2 specs, simple effects that play into the specs themself really good and make the gameplay better and at the same time dont warp everything around "play around this thing now"

#

more things like that pls

thorn fjord
#

Locks usually have it pretty good

gaunt moat
thorny pond
royal lantern
#

its good because its not trying to be overly complicated and forcing things

#

its just

#

"you play like you allready do, but now also gain cool effects that mix it up a bit but dont make huge changes"

vestal wren
#

i hoped that the trickster tree was more about gimicks

#

and only had some central dps nodes

thorny pond
#

That's the trick

#

they got you

royal lantern
#

tbf, its weird how different the trees are in general

#

you have some trees that are just "you gain 1 new ability that you will use on CD, the rest is mostly passive stuff that makes this 1 ability stronger and generic % buffs"

#

you have the 2 evoker trees that are litearlly just "you do the same shit you allready do 100% the same, but stronger/more often"

#

and you have some that litearlly warp the entire gameplay around themself

#

and they said that THIS was not the goal

#

so why is it so common then lol

#

(im not a fan of the entire concept anyway when normal class/spec trees are still lukewarm at best for quiet a few classes/specs)

gaunt moat
#

You know that situation where couple who have children don't get along well, find a solution to the problem by bringing another baby? (and it never works)
So that.

royal lantern
#

eh, i get the idea and why they do it

#

its just.......we are not at the stage where you can pull something like that off

#

when things like the druid class tree are a thing

Or (ww) monk trees

or sub spec tree

#

instead of focusing and refining those first, we allready get the first borrowed power system slaped on top of it, and im scared that they just ignore class/spec tree problems now because it will make even MORE problems trying to change them when there is an artifical 3rd tree slapped on top of it

#
  • that imo the entire talk around the hero tree's felt like "casual bait" if that makes sense

they keept repeating "its for increasing class/spec identity! you are a X guy from Y class now!!!" and then pull random terms out of their backside, idk man

#

like, if that would atleast be the case, but its not really

gaunt moat
#

what, you don't feel like feint makes you tricky? starege

royal lantern
#

how is dark ranger hunter a dark ranger, when its all just "you have 1 dark ranger themed ability that you use every 30seconds on CD and then just do your normal hunter stuff that looks the same"

#

or everything around rogue

#

what the fuck is a trickster rogue, or a deathstalker rogue, or a fucking FATEBOUND rogue

#

what are those terms, where do they come from, whats the "fantasy" behind them

gaunt moat
#

To me when i think trickster, i immediately think "fazing the enemy to deal extra damage" starege

royal lantern
#

or also

#

why is priest suddenly an oracle with premonitions

#

since when has wow priest anything to do with future sight lol

gaunt moat
#

Valen?

#

i don't have issue with that

#

I remember like 4 months ago on whispyr's steam Realz said there was a bug he found in assassination that's "emberresing"
and that he's not gonna fix it because sin was really strong at the time and it would make it stronger.

i wonder if he ever got around to fixing it.

royal lantern
#

idk, i sound overly negative again

#

if they react to feedback fast like they did with the misstake that was Oracle, its gonna be allright in the end, or just w/e at worst

gaunt moat
#

They will, maybe in 11.2 11.2.5

clever sapphire
#

you dont have to press feint as a dps ability anymore

vestal wren
#

where some talents fall into the category of X/Y subclass

#

and depending on what talents you skill, you are X or Y

#

it would have allowed the addition of hero talents in the regular tree

#

because now, its unclear if they are borrowed power systems

royal lantern
#

its litearlly slightly more elaborate covenants, but with no lookout system from the start

vestal wren
#

unsure

#

war within is a arc so they might want to make the hero tree bigger over time

#

the baseline problem for me with hero talents is

#

you don't even know what each spec is supposed to represent

#

now you throw 3 more hero versions on top

#

and the only thing you know about them is the name

manic coral
#

is long arms legit for fyrakk or is it only nice to play with

dark token
#

if u really want long arms, play sub which gets it for free with no loss

#

that was the main reason i went sub over sin on those bosses

manic coral
#

i get that

#

idk im just so bad at sub after the rework its barley even worth it for me lol

dark token
#

imo if you didnt use it on tindral, fyrakk will be easier to go with out

kinda bad vault this week but its ok 🙂 Having already higher trinkets good branch included 🙂

yeah simming concurs 😄 socket time it is then..

Mydas is very w/e on Assas. You want branch or ashes for on-use. Then either pips, sandglass, or signet brand for passive.

Hey guys I am trying to get my assa going but with all the top-gear and dropimizers i do my assa ST is at least 20-30k below my outlaw/sub. I know my outlaw/sub are more "optimized" i.e. u know more juts crit/vers stacking but im wondering if im doing something wrong.
I have been trying a bunch of stat combos but i know that's not a magic +20k dps button. Is assa meant to be this much lower?
(i've simmed all stat combos this is just an example) https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7RR6r9egGdTGoeBNFHBEvG

quiet oar
#

Sin has just a low sim

#

It always simmed low

oak tangle
#

In saying that 207k is low for 484

limpid sonnet
#

ah ok thanks. ye my experience with assa is very limited always been an outlul into sub prison in the recent past 🙂

limpid sonnet
oak tangle
#

No branch is a starter I guess

dark token
#

man sin is kinda better on fyrakk since the nerf

limpid sonnet
#

alright i do have branch can run that. I didnt know if it followed the classic rule of "ash is easier and not too bad"

dark token
#

timings line up so well for it

oak tangle
#

It is kinda like that, but branch is more betta

limpid sonnet
#

can run branch/signet etc

#

gotcha

oak tangle
#

Signet needs like 3 mins to be worth

limpid sonnet
#

running branch/ash on sub on tindral kinda made getting orbs easy now

dark token
#

I hated running branch on tindral as sub

#

You have to collect orbs right after I run somewhere so not enough time

limpid sonnet
#

ye it do be like that

oak tangle
#

Oh the big one is you sim without pi

limpid sonnet
#

aye intetional, not getting PI in raid but i can see the diff there

#

too many UH/locks for me to even ask the 1 priest ;D

oak tangle
#

Ye we get cucked cause we balanced around pi

limpid sonnet
#

aha gotcha. i might then nnot even think about assa unless i have a secure PI

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

I mean imo it’s a fun spec, but we so bursty we gain too much from pi

#

I will amend my statement from balanced around it, to being competitive with top dps with it

#

Which is a problem sub does not have

grizzled jay
dark token
#

We were def balanced around PI, even now most of the sin rogue at 95% percentile are getting PI and it's solidly middle of pack

grizzled jay
#

I wish 90% of the Leather helms didn't look stupid on Undead lol

dark token
#

Without PI ur dooming and one of the bottom DPS on ST

grizzled jay
dark token
#

The only thing saving sin from bottom logging without PI is a nice dmg profile for sniping add dmg

quiet oar
#

Wasnt the reason we got nerfed

#

Or one of the reason

#

Thst spatter exploded

#

With These kingsbane dmg

oak tangle
#

But let’s be honest, would we have been nerfed if pi did not exist

bronze pike
#

yes

balmy condor
#

yes

bronze pike
#

cause sin was a outlier

oak tangle
#

It was an outlier cause of pi though

bronze pike
#

yall are obsessed with pi and it lowkey kinda shows

dark token
bronze pike
quiet oar
#

Sin was just Too op

bronze pike
#

sub surviving this long is also a deviation from the norm

balmy condor
#

the problem is that people go "look look, 99 percentile mythic it's not keeping up" when blizzard is tuning around like 70% heroic OmegaLUL

#

like actual braindead shit

bronze pike
#

agreed

quiet oar
#

Sub not getting the nerf hammer

#

Is quite suprising

dark token
quiet oar
bronze pike
#

who knows why theyre not getting nerfed. could be ton of reason like how blizzard tunes for the 70 crowd

dark token
#

I think they just kinda put DF into life support and are actively devving TWW more

#

There are less changes than usual this season I think

bronze pike
#

thats probably the case

oak tangle
#

At the end of the day a spec has to be the top, so as long as it’s not significantly ahead there shouldn’t be that much concern, I get the sin was significantly ahead, but how much of that was pi and aug hooks. That we now lost both

bronze pike
#

fated will probably see minimum changes as all hands on deck for tww

balmy condor
dark token
#

I think it's more rwf timing to not affect the race

balmy condor
#

its very simple

#

sin got tuned down

#

cause it was too strong

#

nothing to do with pi

#

or aug

#

or any other cope reason

#

it was just too good

grizzled jay
#

is sin still a good funnel spec for pi/aug

balmy condor
#

yes

#

not top

#

but it's good

#

spec with and without is still fine

grizzled jay
#

PI will soon be gone anyways inshallah

quiet oar
#

I mean if sin gets tundd around pi

#

Sub is tuned around wft

#

Wft for sub is almost same gain as pi is for sin

bronze pike
oak tangle
#

Yeah but sin also gets wft gain

bronze pike
#

no spec gets tuned around externals guys

#

not sure if meming or not

quiet oar
#

Ye exactly,

bright turret
#

I doubt anyone in here actually knows how things are tuned

#

Cause sometimes its just wild

balmy condor
#

like stats and stuff

grizzled jay
# bronze pike we pray

they already said Oracle was gonna replace PI (with a better mechanic than that FF14 junk they thought up). Prayge

balmy condor
#

could call those people statistic people

#

idk

grizzled jay
#

Just need the Shadow-Disc and Shadow-Holy ones to heavily incentivize self-PI

balmy condor
#

they communicate about it pretty regularly with dev notes in the tuning these days

#

it's not that hard to get a picture from that

balmy condor
#

there's just a large portion of specifically mythic raiders

#

that refuse to believe anything

balmy condor
#

and live in an actual bubble

grizzled jay
spice spire
grizzled jay
#

it'll still replace PI, but it won't be the cringe minigame they stole from FF14

bronze pike
#

oic

grizzled jay
#

ye

bronze pike
#

well as long as pi is replaced by something that doesnt give haste and thus its damage can be linked back top the priest like blessing of summer

#

then we good

#

but you'll still have disc pi to worry about

grizzled jay
#

that's why i said hopefully Shadow-Disc and Shadow-Holy heavily, heavily incentivizes self-PI.

Question. On tyrannical weeks ;like this week. Should I still run the M+ arterial shock build with crimson tempest? I was in an 18 Waycrest earlier and I couldn’t even get all my bleeds up because the other two dps were a ret pally with Lego and a BM hunter that were just nuking everything. Seems like a waste for me to be there. Should I just focus one big target and KB > caustic splatter all the others?
