good point

tbh

proven jasper

i think i still put the Opener wrong

#

x)

i do shiv > Tea > DM > Ashes > SD+KB makro

#

wait O_O

#

do i even need tea ?

shy pecan
cursive owl
#

i mean more mastery = more dmg no ?

proven jasper
#

you dont NEED one at the start but some people do that

#

it doesnt really matter

clever sapphire
cursive owl
proven jasper
#

Its literally a 0.1-0.2 difference

cursive owl
#

OK

proven jasper
#

I also just tea last 6 seconds

clever sapphire
#

also its envenom - dm - shiv- dance/kb

proven jasper
#

Yeah ur shiv a little early

clever sapphire
#

not shiv - dm

cursive owl
#

i put envenom as "general knowledge"

clever sapphire
#

it was more targeted towards your shiv before dm

proven jasper
#

As long as shiv covers all of kb its fine

cursive owl
#

i go apply the bleeds, 1 snd 1 envenom and then start KB opener

#

yes yes

#

it does 😄

i have it tracking :>

With greif and ashes ur always getting lots of value out of them

even on short fights

im short one aguryr trinket

#

Bone !

#

i did figure out

clever sapphire
#

also signet can be a little biatch and proc so little it doesnt do anything

#

The Red snake Trinket

cursive owl
#

Is gigachad when u have high crit in M+

#

in 5+ enemy pulls i do like 15% of dmg with that trinket

proven jasper
#

Oh the snake idol thing

cursive owl

i was using that on outlaw last season

#

Went hard af

is it really that good? i never used it dracthyr_kek

#

im aiming crit cap

proven jasper
#

It’s surprisingly decent

#

idk about amazing

cursive owl
#

I do like it

forest nacelle
#

its a meh trinket w/o crit tho

clever sapphire
#

but is it as good of a passive trinket as echo trinket that just randomly hugs you outside of your cooldowns?

#

i dont think so

proven jasper
#

Yeah with crit it gets alot better

forest nacelle
#

yea

proven jasper
#

yeah no probably not

#

I love getting hugged by big void old god

#

That floats behind me

clever sapphire
#

same, need to get the trinket for m+

#

even if grieftorch is big

#

i do enjoy just not having to think about trinkets

cursive owl
#

snake idol i can recommend of testing in m+ OwO

proven jasper
#

High rolling echo feels so good too

cursive owl
#

because snake idol does "procc" from Dot Crits from your poison and bleed

clever sapphire
#

imagine echo/wafting/sark cloak/pi/bloodlust during smolderon intermission in execute, now that is a 100% log if i ever heard about one

proven jasper
#

I have a 98-99 or something parse from when it was current due to getting echo procs in legit all my dm windows

i bought it rn just for raid

clever sapphire
#

nah

#

i bought a weapon/2 trinkets and eranog ring

potent raven

clever sapphire

kinda regret eranog ring

upper kraken
#

What will be best for me to use from Trinket which will probably progress 4 maybe 5 mythic bosses?

potent raven
#

ashes

#

why?

#

its good ring

#

u can multispec with it too

clever sapphire
#

i dont multispec so tahts whatever

#

but it does like 0.2%-0.5%

#

could have gotten sark cape or hugging squid instead

potent raven
#

ingore my cape

#

its for m+

but ye i feel u

#

i think its good stats anyway

vestal wren

even for assa

clever sapphire

Saw you're using them already but I love the blizzard progress bar textures they added for Maelstrom/Fury/Insanity etc, look very nice

I still like the solid texture for energy but I'll probably poke around with the other options when I revamp for tww

i will revamp tww also

i think i will take part of illidan blades

separate from my caustic target

subtle tundra
#

HUAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW .8% DPS?!?!

#

AS MUCH AS A DAGGER FROM DOTI

balmy condor
#

that 4% from corrupted blood btw

#

is the only thing that's even reasonable kek

marble hemlock
#

ye i mean

balmy condor
#

fatebound stuff doesn't do shit for damage either

#

and like I get "numbers don't matter"

#

I agree

marble hemlock
#

i think its safe to say that they threw deathstalker out there because they "needed" all hero trees to be available prior to moving to beta, but this definitely aint it

balmy condor
#

but they're like

#

not even close to a ballpark number

#

usually things go up with numbers that are semi-reasonable

#

and you get things that are way too strong and way too weak and then eventually it gets tuned

#

but it feels like they didn't even bother making an attempt to get close

cursive owl
#

is it Difficult to add a "progress texture" in wa ?

balmy condor
#

not really

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

weakaura discord also has great documentation

balmy condor
vestal wren
#

that sounds big

cursive owl
#

i see oki thanjks

balmy condor
#

I mean it sounds big

#

but it's also 10 dps talents

#

or 9?

#

9

vestal wren
#

yes, but some are more passive

balmy condor
#

so like, if the initial node, and the capstone are 10% combined, then we're looking at 15% for the other 7 nodes

#

2-3% per node

#

kinda adds up

willow kite
#

!wa

balmy condor
#

like the fatebound capstone is easy to estimate the impact

#

that's around 5%

#

and I assume tails/heads are going to be tuned similarly

#

math kinda adds up to make the coin and the capstone 10-12%

#

without any of the talents that augment them

THE FUNNEL IS SO INSANE

royal lantern

idk why but i just loved that part cus of how insane it sounded

sees a node that says "3% of your dmg to other targets is done to this single target with a mark, and you cant really juggle them marks fast anyway in aoe rn cus the desing is borderline not functional"

and just turns brain off and goes "YEHA THIS IS STRONG CUS IT SAYS FUNNEL"

marble hemlock
# balmy condor BUT THE VISION

the funniest thing is that we all know that IF the funnel would be as good as people expect it to be, it'd get nerfed into oblivion within minutes anyway cuz blizz doesnt want that kind of funnel existing anymore

balmy condor
#

"we" all know

slate crown
balmy condor
#

well

slate crown
#

That said, I can't test it myself to verify the chain of making it functional cause no alpha access

balmy condor
#

it dont

#

madge

#

but I also needed an addon to fix other addons

slate crown
#

If I had alpha access I'd have put in the effort to make it work

balmy condor
#

alpha addons are still a disaster

slate crown
#

yeah I'm not surprised

balmy condor
#

maybe I reinstall and try again

#

I couldn't even get the alpha details to work until I had someone zip their addon folder to me

#

disaster

marble hemlock
slate crown
#

yeah maybe try again :/

marble hemlock
#

i still remember what it was like PTSD

slate crown
#

I am not sure

#

That was 3 days ago

balmy condor
#

yeh I tried yesterday

#

think I probably wait until next alpha build

#

and hope it fixes something in the background

slate crown
#

I'm going to be fervently trying to get it to work come next week but so will bajillions of other people I'm sure

#

Assuming I'm in the first wave

royal lantern
#

removed the problem

#

then NUKED the spec into obilivionfor the rest of the expansion for no reason at all

#

like, what the fuck

marble hemlock
#

i can believe it. wasnt the first time, wont be the last

balmy condor
#

I made an hpal to help queue for it

Was the problem just lack of people?

balmy condor

you ever see me play hpal?

balmy condor

why would I have seen you play hpal lol

if i manage to make my WA fianly done , may i post it in here and u guys tell me if looks good :3 ?

vestal wren
#

(i am just joking)

slate crown
#

I don't know the reference D:

fluid drift
#

If i play the aoe CLEAVE build from wowhead in filler rotation, do i change target to dot garrote and rupture or not?

balmy condor
#

rupture and garrote give energy

#

so you should be using them to get energy

sand ice
#

Nokhud in elemental area. Which target to cleave off? Since totems seem immune to bleeds

junior aurora
#

the named mob

#

its the named mob for every pull in nokhud

sand ice
#

tyty

#

what i been doing o7

runic hinge
#

NO kinda a banger for just having a big mob to cleave off every pull

left radish
#

Is there a pin anywhere on which assa streamers you can watch? I'd preferably like one, that has the addon/wa which displays which abilities are being pressed

balmy condor
#

Other than that, no

#

Making a pin like that quickly leads to favoritism and “why am I not on there” and “why is XYZ higher on the list than me” etc etc

left radish
#

Understandable. Still, is there someone with the streamer wa/addon? I'm not very good at the game and tracking spells without that is very very hard for me and I'd really like to see what people actually do in practice compared to the theory

proven jasper
#

you mean trufiGCD?

#

think thats what ur lookin for

left radish
# proven jasper you mean trufiGCD?

Something like that, only for oneself though. Details has that as well. Just something so I know what the streamer is pressing so I can better understand what cooldowns the person uses in which circumstances to get a feel for it. Just standard learning by watching

ancient tangle
#

The haste only affect tick rates of dots isn't it ? It doesn't increase the damage done by the dots right ?

spice surge
#

Well having more ticks means it does more damage overall, but yes it doesnt increase the damage of the ticks

ancient tangle
#

Ah ok I misunderstood, I thought the total dmg was the same but only the frequency changed

spice surge
#

No the duration remains the same, so increased frequence of ticks means youll get more ticks overall

#

(and theres no discreet breakpoints or anything, the last tick can be 1/3 of a tick, 1/2 of a tick, 1/6 of a tick etc)

ancient tangle
#

Yes but I tough the ticks were adjusted to reach the same amount of total dmg

#

Oh ok

#

Thx Eleem 🙂

#

But for say rupture that says the amount of dmg it will do in X seconds, the tooltip shows the dmg adjusted with haste ?

spice surge
#

Idk tooltips in wow are famously unreliable

ancient tangle
#

Ye ..

spice surge
#

I wouldnt put any weight on what the tooltip says, you just have to hit dummies to find out Surebud

ancient tangle
#

Ye it's more reliable ^^

#

Ok but the basic is that a dot as a base dmg per tick and the haste is adjusting the frequency

#

If I understand correctly

balmy condor
#

Yes

ancient tangle
#

Ok thx ^^

#

Another thing why don't use 2 charges of Tea every 1 min ? To cover almost the entirety of KingsBane Dot and to empower Deathmark and the duplicated dots (every 2minutes) ?

spice surge
#

You cannot use a spell with a 1 minute cd twice every minute

#

And while yes, it does have extra stacks, its more worth to use em for energy than empowering the meek start of kb

ancient tangle
#

Ok

#

But couldn't it be worth to empower Deathmark?

rotund oak
#

it might not be that worth if u have ur envenom chain broken coz no energy

#

we normally want 1 tea to cover those last KB ticks

#

its what eleem said^^

ancient tangle
#

Yes ok

#

Ye I'm not contradicting Eleem, I'm just wondering ^^

#

Ok so we can't empower DM because envenom chain is hard to maintain

spice surge
#

The main part of tea is the energy

#

If you use two of them during deathmark youll surely waste some it, which is not good

rotund oak
#

and what eleem said about wasting some of it^^

ancient tangle
#

Ok but it's a waste energy wise in that context

rotund oak
#

trying to decipher the context

ancient tangle
#

No I meant if the mastery is not worth

rotund oak
#

mastery is a flat thing gain when press tea

#

energy is more like the gas u dont have to continue

#

idk if that makes sense

ancient tangle
#

Yes it does, but does the mastery from tea immediately empower all dots ?

spice surge
#

Yes it does

rotund oak
#

at all times,everytime u press

#

thats what i meant by flat thing gain

#

i think u need a sim that compares the different tea use in terms of absolulte numbers to compare and understand

ancient tangle
#

Yes ok but then I thought the mastery buff would be huge when you have DM with all the active dots

ancient tangle
rotund oak
#

@balmy condor lord whispyr sir sorry for the tag but is there a sim where there is a comparison between pressing tea twice on each KB+DM window(if im not mistaken its what its hypothesized)compared to using tea to extend the envenom chains

balmy condor
#

every day with this stupid fucking double tea shit

#

smh

rotund oak
#

im out peepoVanish

balmy condor
#

wish I could be too

strange python
#

Whispyr isn’t it better to use 2 teas during kingsbane? Macky

balmy condor
#

frankly if you're getting pi and the fight is omega short like it is now, probably not terrible

#

meme season

#

but god it hurts me

#

even mythic larodar these days has like 3:30 kill times

#

just slam teas whatever

#

its not going to affect your parse regardless

ancient tangle
#

But there is no sims for it already existing ?

#

For curiosity

balmy condor
#

last time I simmed it with normal kill times it was -0.6%

#

I assume with fast kill times it's probably close to neutral or better

#

but even with sims it's kind of unrealistic to begin with

#

parsing in this season is insanely dependent on having good kill times, good proc rng, and the ability to pad on stuff like fyrakk

#

if you can get big procs during a caustic pad

#

double tea is probably going to be better

#

but in a vacuum it's hard to justify

#

if you're playing for the giga god roll

#

go for it I guess

ancient tangle
#

My exact plan would be : 2 tea first DM then 1tea on KB then 2 tea on Dm and then 0tea on this KB and repeat. This way you have always 2 teas available on DM and you only have 1 KB without tea every 4 KB

balmy condor
#

sure

#

seems reasonable

ancient tangle
#

Ok ^^

#

But I don't have the APM skills to craft the sim for it 😦

balmy condor
#

don't bother

#

just hit the teas

#

get your good kill time

#

it'll be fine

ancient tangle
#

I'm not after parsing ^^ I'm just wondering what's best ideally 😅

balmy condor
#

isn't that the same thing

ancient tangle
#

I meant I'm just wondering after theory crafting but I don't care about kill times etc ...

balmy condor
#

yeah but your kill times inherently impact whether or not it's worth it

#

it's not worth it on longer fights

ancient tangle
#

True

balmy condor
#

cause you're going to run out of energy more

ancient tangle
#

But its dynamic

balmy condor
#

if you're in a 3 minute blaster fight

ancient tangle
#

I'm more in a general way for start

balmy condor
#

I don't understand what the question is

#

you can't ignore the kill time for this

ancient tangle
#

Ah ye I understand

balmy condor
#

given how quick the kill times are this season

#

you should feel empowered to hit your teas during cds if you'd like

#

on short kill times, it's probably better

#

you're not going to run out of energy on short fights, and if you do, it's either at the very end, or you have a tea charge left

#

it's always better to end the fight with no tea charges

#

so using them early during cooldowns is better than not at all

ancient tangle
#

Ok

#

Short is less than 3min ?

balmy condor
#

yeah

ancient tangle
#

Ok

balmy condor
#

3:30 probably works too

ancient tangle
#

Ok

balmy condor
#

as you get to 4:30, 5 min you start running out of energy

ancient tangle
#

Ok thx

balmy condor
#

np

ancient tangle
#

Do you have the APL lines that you used to sim the teas on CD just to try to play with that on my own ?

balmy condor
#

I don't

#

haven't simmed it in a while

ancient tangle
#

Ah ok

balmy condor
#

busy with all the alpha stuff and merging in the last couple changes before refactoring for tww

ancient tangle
#

Ha ok nevermind then 😅

#

Force may be with u

balmy condor
#

I get to double check tea logic for tww again

#

this time with giga nerfed kb

#

and gear reset

lean portal
#

every time i hear something about alpha im sad

#

dust nerfed in sub and now kb nerf

ancient tangle
#

Yes me too 😦

balmy condor
#

kb was kinda overwhelming for the spec in 10.2

#

I mean they tried to fix it with the poison application nerf on dtb

latent copper
#

How do you do your rota in AOE in real situation where you have to send dm fast?

balmy condor
#

but it's so rough

half condor
#

should i be using crimson tempest in m+? because a streamer just said something that i didnt understand, Like on the first boss of ruby you dont want to use it on add phase can someone help me understand why please

lean portal
#

agree but i hope they make up for the nerf

balmy condor
lean portal
#

and were not just useless for 2 first month

#

i wonder what the playstyle will be

balmy condor
lean portal
#

hope were not a pi class anymore

balmy condor
#

I don't think we will be

#

none of the hero talents atm open up some haste-cooldown-stacking nonsense

lean portal
#

cool

balmy condor
#

and the kb cap change + no nightstalker

latent copper
balmy condor
#

takes a lot out of it already

lean portal
balmy condor
#

your question was trying to get out cds quickly

balmy condor
#

so you gotta gar -> rup -> cds

#

or if you need it REALLY fast

latent copper
#

And if i got time?

balmy condor
#

you just gar -> into cds and rupture during them

#

well if you got time then what's the problem

#

just do a normal opener

lean portal
#

gar on 6 targets rup on 5-6 if you have the 5 rupture talent thing

#

then go

balmy condor
#

yeh

latent copper
#

Ok but normal is not going to 6 cp and evenom and then cds?

balmy condor
#

it's always set up dots, pick a target, cooldowns

#

it's optimal to 6cp envenom into cooldowns yes

#

that's the setup

#

if you need it faster, you skip the envenom

#

if you need it faster than that, you don't spread as many dots

toxic olive
#

Whisp New to Assa, so I have like 2 basic questions: during KB should I let first shiv run out and reapply next global or refresh with the global before when it’s like <1 sec remaining. 2nd at times I have envenom running still outside of pandemic but close to capping on energy. Do I refresh preemptively or sit for a global on max energy?

balmy condor
toxic olive
#

TY highly appreciate it. Bad habits die slowly so don’t want to build them in the first place

balmy condor
#

Yep

rotund oak
#

be ur samwise

#

actually super hyped for beta

latent copper
balmy condor
#

If you want to play acro you drop deeper + alacrity and go lethality + acro

#

But remember that acro doesn’t exist next expac

#

So probably worth getting used to it

royal lantern
#

+acro ws never that good for assa anyway

balmy condor
#

Acro is fine

latent copper
#

It wont exist but range wouldnt be expended next exp?

balmy condor
#

No

#

They just removed range talents

#

There is no compensation

potent raven
#

good mornbing

balmy condor
#

My face when we didn’t have acro for like 15 years and then we got it for 1 expac and now everyone’s losing their shit that it’s gone

brazen zodiac
frosty bridge
#

It's better to never have it than to have it and lose it :'(

potent raven
#

yes

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Idk man

#

Change happens

#

Game would be stale without change

frosty bridge
#

my quote is right

#

assa never had it and it was k, but it sucks having it for a brief time and losing it :3

balmy condor
#

Your quote is right, but the saying is “Tis better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all”

brazen zodiac
#

i think in this case he's saying it'd be better to never have acro at all

frosty bridge
#

Oh, didn't know you were a poet

brazen zodiac
#

but i am probably wrong xD

#

also hi whisp cxcx

balmy condor
balmy condor
frosty bridge
#

ic ic

brazen zodiac
#

xD

#

that is fair boss .

frosty bridge
royal lantern
#

again, the only thing that annoys me there (or more like, confuses) is their statement WHY they do it

aka the entire "we increased melee range across the game" thing

when if anything the melee range problem got worse over the last 2 expansions

frosty bridge
#

Idk, melee have been really strong recently

rotund oak
#

It all led to rets being this stupid

frosty bridge
#

I think it's better to gut all the range increases and just design the game around nobody having it imo

royal lantern
#

like

#

do you even know what we talk about rn lol

balmy condor
frosty bridge
#

And i have no idea what you are refering to

balmy condor
#

I think it’s easy to forget how bad like bfa was for melee range

#

Remember dazaralor? Mechatorque or whatever his name is, having to kick the bombs and the robots chasing you? Get fucked bozo

rotund oak
#

yeah that was a nightmare

balmy condor
#

King rastakhan pushing you off of the boss for a whole phase

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Literally all of jaina’s aoe

rotund oak
#

even the kingkong dude was weird in bod for melees

balmy condor
#

Shrine of storms was swirlie hell

frosty bridge
#

The clutter and unecessary ground effects and all these animations are awful

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Crucible of storms was ranged stack

#

Like idk man

#

Melee range has gotten way friendlier compared to 5 years ago

#

Their whole thing of range increase is bullshit

#

But to say melee has gotten worse is insane

vestal wren
#

it comes down to one simple thing

#

game design got more aware of melee range, it is why we have less extremes in raid

#

if the design team does a good job, you barely notice it as a dissadvantage

#

but if they get it wrong it is immidiatly apperent

balmy condor
#

Yeah

vestal wren
#

it is (as with a lot of other things in the game) something more memorable because it stands out if done incorrect

#

(also we as human tend to remember negative emotions better, does not help here)

royal lantern
#

im always negative, so its not something i need to remember

pliant terrace
royal lantern
#

it doesnt matter how many classes lol

#

the game is balanced around having each class beeing in your raid 1x anyway

pliant terrace
#

Yeah well when most of those classes are melee it does kind of matter.

royal lantern
#

there is just this really stupid exception with shaman, where the raid utility is bound to the melee spec only

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Idk how amount of melee classes changes the impact of acro

#

Raid sizes are the same

royal lantern
#

^

balmy condor
#

You take similar amounts of melee and ranged

#

Like instead of 3 warriors you take 1 warrior 1 dh and a ret

#

But it’s 3 melee regardless

royal lantern
#

like, again

your normal raid will have by itself 13 spots reserved by default

6 minimum will be melee simply because you kinda want those classes

no amount of melee specs in the game will change that lol

pliant terrace
royal lantern
#

dont need to tell me about shit fights for melee

#

i suffer them since forever

balmy condor
#

They nerfed fetid precisely because of groups taking no melee

royal lantern
#

and btw, the "more then 4 melee makes the fight unplayable" was once again people parroting world first teams that did the fight on week1 with no gear

#

like always

#

like yeha, you didnt want 70% of your dps comp beeing melee dps

but you dont want that regardless on any fight lol

balmy condor
#

But again, why does the composition of melee affect acro

pliant terrace
royal lantern
#

progged it, or pulled it for 1 hour and then was next reset

#

cus thats a kinda big difference

balmy condor
#

The fact that you get to mythic fetid week 1 is already impressive enough

#

But also if you’re progging that fast, you lowkey don’t get to complain

#

You signed up for degeneracy and it’s degenerate and you’re mad about it

#

No sympathy from me

vestal wren
#

just to talk about it historically, you could absolutely run ranged only raid combos.
And at least for most parts having more ranged dps than melees was benefitial

#

but raid buffs and less extreme melee unfriendly design now balances it out

#

before that we had:
ranged unfriendly fights - would be mildly annoying for ranged and give them slightly lower output
melee unfriendly figths - highly punishing for melees, to the point of the fighe becomming much easier if you just stack ranged dps

#

so "how much worse" each was on fights designed for the other one was noticable in favor of ranged

#

it also leads to things like blue posts mentioning raid design being always ranged favored, something i don't think still holds up today

royal lantern
#

they went a bit too far with it

#

but honestly, its a hard thing to solve

#

espacialy when many ranged dps give blizz the signals that they always want to cast with instant cast procs and shit, instead of standing still and hardcasting

#

so rn we have quiet a few fights where for often 50% of the melee dps its just "afk at boss and do dmg"

tropic tundra
vestal wren
#

bm hunter is basically a melee in ranged position

#

but i agree

#

if you play classic servers, casters are more in line of mobility and often limited by mana

#

but its all design space, having lower differences between melee and ranged restrictions
is a philosophy we saw more in modern wow

fallen arch
#

The struggle as melee is more real in m+ though

#

Looking at you affixes like spiteful

vestal wren
#

rly comes back to this

#

affixes shouldn't punish you for spec or class choice, if they do its bad design

potent raven
#

melee is pretty hard rn

#

esp with no acro

#

cant relax for a second in these dungeons lol

fallen arch
#

That makes no sense to me

royal lantern
potent raven
#

what doesnt

fallen arch
#

No acro

#

We never had acro

frosty bridge
#

full rework affixes

#

they suck

potent raven
#

i played other specs so

fallen arch
#

We need fun affixes

potent raven
#

judging from that

#

its harder w. no acro obvsly

fallen arch
#

Yes for sure

#

Give the Prideful affix back OMEGAKEKW

spice surge
fallen arch
#

The damage buff it gave was tons of fun

#

Until you got to like +25 and it was borderline unkillable in a reasonable amount of time

spice surge
#

Or you ever deviated from your route in the slightest

fallen arch
#

I think at some point that shit was just skipped because it wasn’t worth the time or effort right

spice surge
royal lantern
fallen arch
#

Ye exactly

royal lantern
#

did 1% too much?

#

sorry

#

cant do boss now anymore

#

key bricked

fallen arch
#

And I remember it being a pretty steep healing check

#

On higher keys

royal lantern
#

less healer check

#

more "you have X seconds before the healer has no big cds anymore and you all just die"

#

like, the only could rotate their cds and hope you killed it before they where over

vestal wren
#

all affixes we labled as fun

#

had some benefit to them

#

so in terms of "lessons learned"

royal lantern
#

legit 1 of the worst ones we ever had, togheter with infested and the shity azhara one

vestal wren
#

affixes that reward you for the trade off > affixes only designed to slow you down

royal lantern
#

man, fuck affixes at this point

#

we legit only have "gets ignored cus they dont really do anything" and "GL getting into a group as warrior/dk/rogue lol"

vestal wren
#

season 2 bfa

#

you could completely skip the affix

#

or pad the damage meter

#

both positive outcomes

grim jay
#

I legit never felt like it was an issue

#

and I play all 3

#

even tho 2 are tanks

royal lantern
#

WELL I WONDER WHY

grim jay
#

I sure do aswell

#

bcs our rogues should be the same

#

I only ever notice a difference that comes down to tuning

#

no difference at all between weeks

fallen arch
#

Tell your basic pug piece of trash mage or priest groupleader that

#

Pugging is pretty aids as rogue ngl

grim jay
#

im talking about pugs fam

#

Its obviously not something you notice with premades

#

unless you got weird ones

latent gazelle

lunar thicket
#

mates, should the seal be doing more damage? :/

strange python
#

It doesn’t do a lot

#

How much damage does your other big stat ring do tho?

#

Exactly

tropic tundra
#

it's free anyways, and not 0

#

and you can't do anything with it shrugeg

lunar thicket
#

i just thought it would be doing a tad more

#

but every time i go check its super low

tropic tundra
#

Maybe you can compare with your sim numbers?

nimble zinc
#

I don’t think the fire ring does a lot of dmg unless your a class with actual fire spells in your rotation. Like mage, DH, Warlock, etc.

#

To me taking the fire embellishments and flaring cowl isn’t worth it for assassination.

#

I just went for stat rings.

tropic tundra
#

Worth if your sim said its an upgrade(and better than the other options available)

#

no class actually take embellishments just for that since that's a marginal loss afaik

spice surge
#

0.4% is very reasonable amount for a free proc peeposhrug

hearty coral
#

guys do u recommend using this weak aura?

potent raven
#

yes its fun maybe

sonic zinc

its fun seeing big kb number

potent raven

ye that

#

its not like u cant figure out if dont have shiv/envenom uptime

hearty coral
#

well im just lvl 38, i don't how kb works but i think it will help and like zomb said seeing the big number will feel good

lean portal
#

ur plater should tell u for shiv envenom

hearty coral
#

im trying to track sad and others importants buffs

lean portal
#

this is just for fun

#

but i have it

hearty coral

at high lvl keeping sad up is easy? cause at my lvl feels like a pain

lean portal
#

what is sad sorry

hearty coral
#

slice and dice

lean portal
#

not good with acronyms

#

okay yeah its auto

copper hazel
#

keeping sad up is super easy when you have spriests and locks in the group

lean portal
#

maybe u dont have the talent

#

idk

#

how would it drop

potent raven
#

use a class weakaura

lean portal
#

how you meant tracking it

#

yeah personalize ur plater or use class wa

digital venture
past forum
#

I kept seeing ppl post screenshots of the kb weakaura and i was dumb compared the total damage number to my highest tic damage and i was like “why tf am i so bad”

storm forum

To be fair, sometimes the final tick of a good KB during DM is more than a whole non-dm KB

I don't use it because it would only ever make me mad

potent raven

kinda hard to track it on plater was are a bit easier

lean portal
#

but yeah its better to get used to play with wa

slate crown
#

Do you use personal resource display or something?

#

How does it show you a player buff

lean portal
#

i dont have a wa i use plater to track all my buffs

#

like i have my personnal bar

slate crown
#

Ah

#

Seems like too much work given platers an absolute pain in the ass to customize but if it works for you

lean portal
#

yeah and im used to it now

#

but definitly annoying to set up

#

i juste hate class wa, covers too much of my screen

hearty coral
#

fan of knives should not give 1 combo point per target ?

royal lantern
#

no

#

FoK gives 1CP +additonal CP for every single crit

vestal wren
#

subtlety has 1 cp per target hit with shuriken storm

sonic zinc
#

when do we want pi? just on dm?

potent raven

ye i macro with dm

I like that rogues are so dead in M+ that they have to repeat same lvl keys from 2w ago, literally only one is a small boosted streamer with a single 20 AV (easiest key)

slate crown
#

We aren't

grim bison
slate crown
#

People's definition of what is bad in M+ is highly skewed by their play level

grim bison
#

i’m just telling from playing other “meta” classes

slate crown
#

Sure

#

If you're coming in with expectations of what it's like to be a shadow priest in high keys, you're going to be disappointed

grim bison
#

yes u can be screwed by your own skill issues etc.
purely stats can confirm where rogues are

lean portal
#

rogue is mega good in m+

slate crown
#

Just trying to not communicate that rogues are trash to someone who is new and leveling. You aren't bricking your keys because you're playing a rogue

lean portal
#

not being invited in pug =/= being bad class

slate crown
#

Stats in this game are useful but are also easy to misinterpret and be used for the wrong points in the conversation about viability or potential, or how "good" a class is

lean portal
#

legit one of the best classes for every key that is not top 0.1%

#

immortal + big dmg + insane prio dmg + very very decent cc

#

not invited anywhere cause of affix situation + no bl no cr

And it's fun 🙂 I have a lot of fun aoe managing for sin at least

I think it is a fair point that rogue, especially sin, struggles with surviving high keys. That's a fair point.

lean portal

I also don't care

kinda disagree

sin is def the squishiest of the rogue specs by far

but its still a rogue

is outlaw tankier than sub ?

That too

alot more mobility

sub has mega vers tho

i just love versa honestly

can go but not as high as outlaw

outlaw just stacks vers

i run 35 versa in assa

#

dont care

rotund oak

same

lean portal

but ye its main outlaw stat

potent raven
#

Do u press stealth afterwards

#

Thats how u should do it

#

Press meld macro then stealth

spice surge

And sometimes it doesnt work at all

rotund oak

in m+

#

sin doesnt care all that much for stats so i kinda found my comfort zone there

#

tanky but not as sub,tankier than regular crit/mast

lean portal
#

i was sub early szn and swaped at buffs

#

so i still have my sub crafts stats etc just swapped some pieces

#

but mostly sub gear so same

rotund oak

i was going back and forth between sub and sin for the entire expansion

lean portal

same XD

rotund oak

played some outlaw but didnt rly like it

and im an outlaw main btw

this iteraiton is cringe

played sin until i died in a key then swap to sub until im bored
