Plus you’re buffing everyone’s damage by a ton which also helps
I think the evoker discord has a spreadsheet about how much damage from each spec gets in ST for example which would help wrap your brain around how impactful it really is
i think in terms of defensive power hpally might be the best
its str8 forward dmg mitigation
aura+glimmers+dusk/dawn buffs
but ye the amount of dmg aug contributes makes him that broken
Alright I’ll go have a looksy, I get the general idea of why it is good but some real numbers would be nice hahaha
hi ppl, i cant sort out one thing at Plater, when we do garotte and rupture from stealth ""ımproved"" i want to somehow notify them and seperate from normal garotte rupture, does anyone know which tap allow me to modify that setting?
has to be done through modding and scripts
Not sure it's worth tracking on nameplates honestly
ty whispyr
what u mean? where u fallow it beside?
Just a weakaura on your target instead of nameplates.
Like when you have garrotes out and you need to be mindful of which nameplates have improved so you don't overwrite their garrotes, how common is it that their improved status couldn't be inferred from your target because of IC spread
Even less so in TWW where Imp garrote and IC are now completely aligned
how can i do it lisonna?
!wa - You can look at my profile link here, there's an Improved Garrote tracker to show improved garrote on your target

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
struggling to pick between monke and rogue for tww
aaaaaaaaaaa
what to do bros
how to choose
eu
well i can give u an excuse
if u ever open ur warmode
beware of my rogue
i dont allow monks to live

ur implying like thats a hard thing
yes because of karma
so what
there is only 1 specc that can escape the rogue outdoor and thats guardian druid
this is not the answer to my suffering
i play frost dk and survival hunter for pvp 🤓
good that means u can die to random stuff from anyone
yes
surv is cool vs fire mages though
negates the bust completely
unless ofc the mage kills ur pet first
then u are completely hopeless
i wish survival had a lone wolf option in the talents
i hate having to keep track of my pet
idk,you would take away the sac
would decrease the ability surv has to brawl and trap cheese
would basicly be a hopping bunny that would be much squishier than normal
do we know if tier will be greyed out come prepatch or still active?
Still active, there havent been anything to suggest it would be disabled
you can cloak karma
yeah so take advantage of the dmg LW gives and still have another defensive layer like sac
looks like u want everything
ofc
aint happenin' 😛
Will the talent build we use change any come Tuesday?
very slightly yes
you're taking doomblade and bone spike
instead of master assassin and dashing
m+ stays roughly the same except for getting echoing reprimand back
all in all if you log in and don't change talents, you'll probably be aight
but if you wanna be a cringe prepatch minmaxer then you'd shuffle some stuff around
will you be a cringe prepatch minmaxer?
will you play at all?
I will be in Germany
Yeah I could
300 ping
Pog
I’ll log in for the event cosmetics and achieves probably and then log out
i hope you visit seli and give us proof that he actually doesnt exists
I tried last year but I don’t like going outside and seli doesn’t like going outside either
i feel that one
i always play on a laptop
have fun
austria is melting too, only 28 °C today

unclear if thats actually rain tho

our rain season is "everytime im on vacation"
Everyone says this shit till they come to Vancouver and get like 300 days of rain a year and develop severe seasonal depression
But I would still take the rain over heat this shit sucks
12 days on 39-43C in Greece bro
everything is boiling
last day tommorow then it drops to 37-35-32 by the end of the week and then again the same
at night it has 28C
at night
a good amount of the daily precipitation is right before the sun rises
all the moisture falls then
when the sun is up there is no rain or its rare
I was in Germany for 2 years at one point and it rained like 200 days a year easily and I loved it every time
Hey atleast you get like an hour or so of extra sunlight each day compared to us (in the winter), because youre so much more south 
or it rains in high altitude and doesnt drop on the ground
Hello boys, I'm new to the spec. I'm training on a dummy but when I vanish, my Details reset ... Did you know if there is any option ? Thx
2jahre ein richtiger alman werden
!details
To stop details from resetting on vanish, go into the settings and under Overall Data, make sure "Use Dynamic Overall Damage" is checked.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/316923750073499648/1173432355785027584/details_vanish.png
go into details settings and change into dynamic overall
❤️
Oh yeah u guys are uh idk how u deal with that shit. I was in Helsinki a while back, we came out of the club at like 3 am and it’s bright out. I woulda shot myself if that was the norm ngl
It goes hard in the summer
Just sit on the porch chilling until like midnight when it starts to get a bit dark
The sun going down at 3 pm in the winter aint great though
Yeah that would make me go insane. I kinda lost the concept of night and day while I was there
Another thing that made me lose concept of night and day was when I was in London and left my Airbnb at like 6 am and saw people going into the bars to start drinking
That shit changed my life
Is schon 10 jahre her brudi
sandals + socks is a germany classic
ik im just asking why
we got german tourists here
is there a hygiene issue
or just randomly wear socks
coz no obvious reason
Why not, if you find it comfy and are at the point in your life where you dont give a shit
i mean yeah sure,if u find it comfy to wear socks with 40C sure
who am i to say no
think im sweating only by watcing this
dont ask me, im not a 45+y old alcoholic in denial 
yet
Bro straight up drunk texted quake “u up” ?
funny enough, its now most of the time worn by people that arent here for long
Nah lock him up too horny
like adidas + long socks

Ain’t no way it’s only been 3
He’s missed at least 5 no?

Eleem=Shakira confirmed
I can spell your name correctly tho
Oxi = mah love
Get up close and personal and hear the haunting call of a great horned owl, followed by a great horned owl squawk!
@vernal adder
Can i get an encore, do you want more?
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
"Im sorry mam but im a paladin, best i can do is blessing of summer"
Trueeee
But also like goth and mommy
And oxi and whispyr
Too bad my gf is non of those rn smh
Bro’s so horny he’d sexualize a pan or whatever they say
so he's pansexual?
Yeh keep him out of the kitchen
Why even level
Just go act 1 and become day trader

Bro I've never league started a duelist
I have never played spectral throw, splitting steel, sunder or any of that shit
I would be in acts 1 and 2 for 4 hours just looking at what gems I can use and where to get them
lmao
That's so hot
@gusty mirage thoughts on vaal earthquake bleed glad
Does the earthquake wind up animation thingy on the ground get faster with attack speed/whateverthefuck
Or does it always take like a second for the spikes to appear

You won’t believe me
But it’s affected by skill duration
The alt quality earthquake wants to stack increased duration
I was cooking with it
Damage delayed by like 4.5 seconds after actually pressing the button
Was VERY dank
i've been finding that I essentially lose a GCD in my opener when my ambush switches back to mutilate after subterfuge ends. is using a macro the better way?
Macro may help it a smidge but it's not foolproof, you'll still have the issue.
Best way is to avoid it entirely by just using Mutilate instead. Make stealth/non stealthbar identical, and don't even press ambush ever, even in stealth
I’m coming for your pans. And skillets.
since you are probably using tight spender, always using mut is valid and might even be slightly better
you have to play the game to get gold to trade
jez in shambles
been using improved ambush
i'll switch
nice owl

Good stuff
I'm juggling like 8 auras open updating texts and finding changes to make and stuff

making bleed tracking wa's and want to know when is best to alert for a reapply
what remaining duration do you reapply your bleeds on?
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
i see i see
is there a way to track the optimal pandemic timing for rupture / does that matter
since it would then vary based on the cp you spent
unlike rupture which can always just be 5.4 right
You would have to make a custom script for that
does anyone have one or does no one really care?
It's safe to just use 7.2 for Rupture because it's the lowest amount of CP you should ever use Rupture on
And it's still a very massive pandemic window
You don't really need to track 5-7CP Ruptures at all
No one really does that, there maybe a few of them but like 99% just use a manual pandemic timer.
There's nothing really to gain from doing that.
np np
i was reading the icy veins guide which said
but why would you do this as opposed to just applying it at 6-7?
(considering the icy veins guide ig isn't considering deeper as well which is fair)
You could make conditions like this. Do you want conditions that look like this? Nah, no sane person would ever make a weakaura and publish it with their name on it that has conditions that look like this, surely.
.>
Yeah and even there all of the 1-3CP ones are just pointless because you should never reapply Rupture with less than 4 combo points regardless of setups
But I mean, it is cute
why does the icy veins guide say this then?
It's not really accurate
You should be always looking to reapply at 4+ combo points
But I think that particular line refers to a scenario where you have to make a decision to either let it drop or reapply
wait is 4+ 5-6 or 4-6?
(seriously though just do 7.2 sec on the pandemic timer and don't think about it beyond that)
Where you would rather reapply
😅
With Deeper it's 5+, with Deeper + Stratagem it's 6+
Always max-1
But you should always think about stuff in advance
You should never be in a situation where you have 3s left on Rupture and 0 CP
Unless of course the game forces that upon you because of encounter design.
i totally understand why you did it the way you did it though
something about just having the manual one feels wrong to me even though it's p much exactly the same
haha
Damn you understand more than me then
it's the principle
I did consider adding conditions for 5-6CP in the past as well
But it's just not necessary ever
I changed my TWW stuff to be just a single value, I just CBA anymore
This is clever though, idk why I didn't think of just spamming the same conditions over and over
made that change early on, made things so much easier
I'd imagine so yeah
Hoenstly I tried doing a script even to make it work but it gets complicated quickly
And didn't seem to work sometimes, I had to set up manual C_Timers and shit over and over and clear and recreate them to capture changes in CP and properly flag the aura to update itself at the right time
Not worth
Yeah, I was thinking of doing custom scripts as well at some point but after thinking about it, didn't really bother
Pretty much the only custom scripts that I use in my weak auras are to track Empowered Garrotes or Nightstalker effects
But with Nightstalker gone, the only thing to track now is Improved Garrote
Pretty chill
a beauty 😍
the custom script just let's you know when your garrote is an improved garrote?
so that you don't overwrite it ?
Yep

Luxthos' weak aura here has it built in
oh perfect thak you
Probably requires some of the engine-weak auras to work properly, but should be pretty copy paste
My collection has a standalone
There you go yeah
a custom kick script got me banned
the plater functionality you linked also seems nice

outlaw rogue is so simple compared to this 💀
Heh
Cev the scripter
Good
rude
Well, Assassination is super simple in TWW honestly because they deleted all the snapshotting shenanigans
Just gotta prepare the weakauras, maintain your dots in combat and then hit your head on the keyboard
and you're chilling
any idea why with luxthos it puts a 6 second timer above your garrote right after you apply it ?
Probably because your Garrote goes on a 6 second cooldown outside of stealth.
Yupyup

Difficulties are not the same
Its all pretty subjective and different people naturally have different strengths
That's why I say difficulties are not the same. It's pretty reductive to say that X spec is simple.
Unless... BM and ret

not really.
i think you think about it in the context of the fact that it's obviously subjective
and then you keep pushing
like saying ret is easy is not reductive
To many yellows complaining at each other
Everything is subjective
You'll have ret plates saying their class is hard, and Hunters saying BM is complex
I genuinely believe there will be players that think that way
That emote cracked me up
Its glorious
I just said the difficulty is somewhere else between sin and outlaw
And as Davyn said, each spec got a playstyle that fit more to some people than other
Yeah that's absolutely correct
Take me per example: I can only play properly as assassination
Although I can somewhat do keys up to 10 as OL
I don't complain about which spec is easy or not, i don't fcking care , i try to play the 3 🙂 I find sub way harder
Cuz you need manage cd, and as outlaw main, I don't manage any cd
Big up to the sub mains
That's why I think it's dumb comparing specs, like if we needed more beef between specs (this happens when the conversations aren't well structured)
The only joke I like to do about outlaw players (and keep in mind I dwell there as well sometimes) is about the amount of caffeine they need daily

Dont forget the zoomer jokes
That's not a joke, I drink 5-6 cup a day
It's accurate 😛
That's so much caffeine 
I’ve moved past coffee and energy drinks I take a 600 mg caffeine pill every morning






wiiiiide george
do you hate me? why do I not have widegeorge?
Me either buddy, me either
Same
Not my emote



....but your dog?




Nice gaps





and we'r eback yall


Ouch
@silk bane frick you
I'm just glad i got to provide my amazing insight into TWW even though i've done zero reading about changes
Oh shit the plug is pulled
get fast buddy
too old for outlaw
too old for 
Whispyr is now celebrating having three less channels to deal with
I had the last post in TWW channel. I’m a legend now
Everyone will remember your name
SBS is a passive now?
where the fuck has everyone been
I love how people are surprised the channels are read only
completely caught off guard
i cant wait to play rogue in TWW
Well the prepatch hasnt come out yet
okay?
Im obviously not surprised and i dont care either way 
This is OUR time to RISE bois!!!
5 whole ass days to read the announcement and understand the words within
THE WORDS WITHIN
as they say, im legit shook 
TWW 
Whispyr, was laying on the couch watching your vid when gf asked: what you watching?
OH you know, just listening to Whispyr about what talents i'll be using. LOL
If they can't read patch notes.. they ain't reading announcements.
true
did I have a vid come out today
The question is if blizzard can write patch notes

Because theyve included the dust nerf yet again, for the third time
I don't remember my scheduling
Despite not pushing it
can we take a moment of silence for the death of stepsis 
So maybe this time they do it
25 mins ago
incredible
no

good thing she asked you that so you posted this so i started youtube to look at the new whispyr vid (lot of words with very little meaning)

If it works it works

i love how whispyr pronounced the ER choice node
SAME
can relate so badly
Nightstalker gone BIG WWWWW
i could delete your message 
bonespike hybrid build 
only reason to play m+ is to play the bonespike hybrid build
7 cp is gonna look weird
i think we need to put aside our differences and bond over our hatred of outlaw 🤝
my bla or yours doesnt matter. outlaw doesnt getting in blas in is what matters
I also recorded out of order

oh well
what can a man do
(not record out of order)
count me in
you said that you are excited for the bonespike build so everything is excused 
I honestly felt the same way
"you can play this build and it will be fine - Whispyr, somewhere is the start"
What actually sold me was the "you rupture with IC, which will spread 3 ruptures, which means 3 bonespikes are also going out"
You had me at " 3 bon~"
he had me at the talent page
xD
easy to please, bonespike in keys is all i need
You and me both 🤝
the no shrouded bonespike build looks hella weird tho
@strange python Cat Form now increases the range of auto-attacks and melee abilities by 3 yards.
BRO ITS EVEN IN THE PATCH NOTES
WHAT ARE THEY DOING
STAHP
They just copied an old note
dont let the outlaws see that a melee spec kept its range
i actually went to check their channel
i regret
I doth speaketh somewhat plaited.
nev'rtheless, i shalt not checketh the outlaw channel f'r the f'rseable future
Okay
No
That’s fucked

how/why did assa not get one of those tier set changes? isnt the tier set also a talent now?
Oh
genuinely curious
I take it back
Cat Form no longer increases the range of auto-attacks and melee abilities by 3 yards.
Lmao
Quality
no
the talent is inspired by the tier set
but they are functionally different and don't interact
the tier set replacements are for the cases where a tier got baked in 1 to 1
I mean
not really that much
right now it's like 11% envenom, 7.5% tier, 2.5% poison bomb
so I guess it'll be 12% envenom, 7.5% tier, 2.5% poison bomb



So doing some looking up so I'm ready for the patch to drop
random new video pops up.

what a thumbnail
"class discord just talking about ff14 and lost ark now!" yeah but like we've always been talking about those
be positive
That has been there for now 4 weeks this buff
Let me PRETEND
First days of raid testing my Tank and I battled
ok, i'm TRYING to be HAPPY
He actually gives good feedback
I'm at the stage of learning where anything is good to hear before figuring out what i actually trust
I might the FF14 guy
we found the one guy on earth who likes bellular
I mean I don't mind the guy
tbf his video is regurgitating a lot of the discord's feedback
perfect! saving me time reading through all the dooming and baby raging xD
Like their takes on their podcast are like, fine, honestly I'm more interested when they discuss FF or other non-wow stuff
He has a big audience and if more content creators say rogue is bad the more attention it gets from blizzard
And his rogue feedback was decent for someone who doesn't play rogue
He plays wow? 
in bfa and early shadowlands he went REAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY off the deep end on a lot of stuff
ended up feeling like every video was just either rage bait or uninformed slop to feed the algorithm
Could he didn't know mb.
Dude does know the algo and plays to it yeah
Watch the linked part he talks about how bad coup and deathstalker are
I stopped watching maybe he's turned it around
but yeh I gave up on most wow content creators
I don't really like his videos
Just watch the rogue part
Like, his specific curated videos
I don't need to watch the rogue part
Same
he's just going to say the same shit I've been saying for the last 6 months
I don't mind the podcast and their takes there, it's fine banter and they talk industry stuff and it's ok
he did mention something about deathstalker and a nail 
Pretty much, but that he is repeating u is a good thing.
DID HE MENTION THE FUNNEL??!?!!

I mean sure
it's not gonna make an impact on rogue getting changes or not
but I guess it does inform more people that it's bad
so
W I guess
I still need to get dawntrail, I stopped in 6.2 endwalker and i'd have to replay the story to remember where I was
Well maybe tuning wise 
Just finished 7.0 and its pretty good, a good change from what we've been having thus far
Petko tierlist rogue middle of the pack and shaman below
Good lists 😄
I honestly just can't believe the hero talents have genuinely not changed for the better at all since they got released.
You have seen deathstalker?
there was one round of pogging changes
I haven't even started the first MSQ as i wanted to get viper going. then getting distracted by stuff
do the new jobs do anything novel with rotation? Rotations always just felt too scripted for me in lots of ways
Yeah make the capstone work for sub! XD
all 3 specs got a hero talent that makes the spec less fun, insane nothing changed
nope all i know about is fatebound forcing fient for DPS sounds arse.
Imagine not being able to trigger the capstone
its been like 2 months since any real changes right?
Like dead talent
You mean trickster?
outside of bug fixes
Yes 5 bug fixes. Still 30 to go over all 3 specs
And an embodiment of all of your hatred for the world.
ahh yeh, got them mixed up. shows my lack of knowledge xD
Don't forget that part
deathstalker got some positive changes like a month ago
I didn't try picto, im not big into casters YET, but i've been playing viper this whole time, and you FEEl cool playing and the rotation is extremely simple. And yes, i was talking about the rotations feeling scripted yesterday with my GF. They indeed are, 2 of the same job have literally no changes on their rotations from start to finish of a fight LOL. But putting that aside, most jobs feel pretty badass while doing their rotations, especially viper. I'll ping you in a sec
That the thing of needing full combos to trigger it?
I mean outlaw is with fatebound now a casino manager. You roll the dice to decide the fate of the coin and keep it rolling waiting for the hidden opportunity.
the mark used to be able to be reapplied
so sub would go into dance
and just perma re-apply a new mark
all the way to 9 stacks
and then not be able to use the 9 stacks before the next dance
so they'd constantly just ping pong between 2 and 9 stacks for the entire fight
the max combo points is a non issue on sub
they're flooded with cp during dance
they just literally couldn't get rid of the marks
Marks everywhere
.<
oh its aids on sub too. we dont commonly go to 7 in dance, most often its 6, so we go to 6, then strike again and thank blizzard for the great design
That literally just sounds like arse design.
bros making an aids tier list
its all aids and i hate it and hope its tuned 50% lower than not having a hero talent at all
So i'm sort of getting the vibes of 10.0 through 10.1.7 where every spec just feels naff?
i cant wait till prepatch
i will abbreviate darkest night with DN
someone will ask what's DN
idn dude
then i deez nuts em
whats the difference between darkest night and deez nuts?
One is funny
im working on a yo mama type of response to it. gotta consult the outlaw zoomers. theyre good at yo mama jokes
I'm sure we could all give you an animation.
does rotation have any major changes with this update coming on prepatch?



do we have any hope for talent changes before release or its just waiting for 11.1/2 ?
that sounds like a large change, b/c don't we lose subterfuge with these changes?
probably not, just hope they actually bugfix
There's nothing subterfuge was really doing for us that wasn't already being done by improved garrote
I see, fair enough
welp, i guess im not gonna play rogue for the first time lol
Subterfuge lets you cast ambush
But mutilate is better than ambush
So it doesnt do anything
fatebound sin is good, trickster sub is solid with bugfixes
so unless you're an outlaw gamer™️ like me, rogue will be fine
Fatebound sin is functional, thats teh best you get out of me
If you liked rogue in 10.2 you'd probably like it in war withing
and assuming they actually fix the bugs
, deathstalker should be fine too
Nah Deathstalker needs an intervention for M+
i didnt, s3 was the least fun i had on assa in years
that tree is beyond bugfixes
we don't talk about deathstalker for m+
we pretend it doesn't exist when we want to do m+
Then you do need to check other classes out
It's a huge game, I'm sure you'll find something to your liking
i hope so but im playing rogue exclusively for 19 years so its hard to find something that feels same-ish
Have fun becoming a mage!
Feral
They all end up being mages
I always felt like feral was so close to being assassination rogue
As in, the grass is always greener on the other side?
Yeah. I thought rogue always had better defensives but I had 300 days played on Druid and didn’t wanna lose progress. So I used df as a clean slate to switch and now we’re getting warbands so I’m pretty hyped I’ll get a lot of reputation and such
Warbands legit giving people a reason to remain playing
At last your time as a player will be (mostly) respected in an accwide progress
Way goes the need of having several same class Alts to farm stuff (mainly transmog)
Speaking of defensives, Crimson Vial costing energy is kinda silly at this point. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
we coin boys now
This vid is for pre patch/S1 TWW? Where can I find it?
Season 3 guides are still accurate rotationally
Wowhead guide updates tomorrow
Later today if you’re EU I guess
Thanks for your effort 
Np
If I may ask, how does it feel to know that you help so many people, with your guides and theorycrafts? It must be very pleasant to see the result of many people learning by reading/watching your content, and again, thank you for your services, it helps a lot at least for me, I say the same to the outlaw/sub writers
I mean there’s a bit of pressure and there’s haters ofc
But in general it makes me happy helping people
So it’s all good
I’m glad to help
Interesting question to ask from the same time zone don’t you think
Noobs sleep
Man it's really going live in this state huh?
Well we just run fatebound which is basically all passive, right?
At least our gameplay didnt get worse...
dont know how to feel about rogues rotationally playing the same from one expack to the next]
maybe im too used to borowed power expansions
Deathstalker tuned higher so pick your poisom
Tuning passes will happen, so anything is still possible
But yeah, mechanics of the trees probs not changing at this point
it answered a lot of questions
i’m telling you coin 🪙 time


Whispyr can we have a spec tier list comparing the bis gear sims against each other and showing stat weights of each spec for prepatch since it's tomorrow
Haters? Lmao sure lets hate on who puts the brains into how i should be playing in my place
I like this idea tbh LOL
Don't try to turn this around on me
i go to sleep at 7-9am, if thats what you wanna know 
We should do a tier list of doomers in discord
I'm not a doomer, just a coin hater
With Shadow Dance gone, it's going to be way more painful to not have restealth in M+ right ? Or am I missing something ?
stealths are less important for M+ than you think
far less important
Well, I know it was not that important until now, but applying garrot and rupture to multiples targets will be way longer without using a charge of vanish + missing improved garrot
is there anything to be prepared for
Disappointment
i figured
Bless
I'm actually looking forward to it. I didn't play much rogue in dragonflight and i am rolling it in TWW. Sin is my goto spec and always has been. I am disappointed with some things but i feel like i'm going to have fun regardless
can anyone give me a script for tracking improved garrote in my weak aura
trying to copy luxthos one but has a bunch of unnecesarry stuff attached to it
and i can't figure out why it's not working
:P
yeah it's unfortunate to lose some agency on IC sometimes but I wouldn't think about it too much
you'll hardly notice losing dance outside of iron wire uptime
Is there a reason you can't just use a pre-created weakaura that tracks it rather than needing the full script?
You can find a standalone ready-for-import tracker for just Garrote in my Collection page here, but it, too, is not a simple script because it also tracks if your next garrote will be improved.

well the luxthos one just had a bunch of visual inconsistencies with how my ui is set up and i broke it twice trying to fix them
but i'll try yours out ty
this is it right'?
I get that, I place the "is garrote improved" as a conditional which you can see in the Wago page, so you can take the whole thing and gut the conditions page if you'd like and start from scratch. You should be able to just use those Garrote Improved conditions in trigger 3 for your purposes
Yes
tysm i will try that rn 
GL
Also I should note that I will be republishing that one with a TWW version as it's simplified
just haven't gotten around to that one yet
wait what would change?
The version exists inside of the full pack, just haven't extracted the TWW as a standalone just yet, overall it will function the same and will still have the conditionals available for you
It's just some cleanup to account for the improved garrote -> 6sec changes and reducing some overall bloat/cleanup
I just mention it so you're aware that you may need to remake your changes in the new version too. Still probably good to practice with it and see how you like it with the old version so you know what to change for the new one
wouldn't the improved garrote duration increase automatically get reflected ? and then the bloat clean up i understand with like
removing shadow dance from that 6th trigger
the big difference between why i want to recreate it and then what you have linked is that i dont track garrote's cooldown on this weak aura itself so i don't need trigger 2 but then the whole thing kinda blows up after that
There's a reason but it's complicated having to do with the "next" tracking, don't worry about it unless you really care I can get into the minutia in dms
well i'm actually curious so if you dm'd me that would be cool
but if you don't want to then it's cool too 👍
I've had someone ask about this before, where you want something to show up only when it's actually improved right, but otherwise you are tracking the garrote elsewhere?
i'd like to ask a really stupid and drunken question sp apologies in advance.
i love my rogue, i've been a rogue main for most of my wow career, i loved playing sin (mostly) in DF (mostly because I felt like a PI beggar and if my priests missed raid it was butts). enjoyed outlaw in keys. in raids in s3, sub became top dog and i fucking hate DF sub. like hate it so much i almost quit. swapped to mage for the last ~1.5 seasons, enjoying it but just feel like i'm not at the same level as i was on rogue.
if you were me, would you go back to rogue from mage for TWW as things stand now
recognizing this is an incredibly subjective question
and mostly pointing to a reasonable competitive-to-fun ratio
Fun is subjective
did you like sin in s3/4? if you did, it's mostly the same for tww right now. if you didn't care for it then you may not like the rogue angle in it's current state. might be somethin to check back on closer to release
well it's specifically that i don't track the cooldown of garrote with the weak aura so i don't need it showing all the time, only if i target someone without garrote on them
but i would still track my garrote and improved garrote in the same place
i enjoyed S3 sin a lot, the only thing i didn't like was how much of a diff having PI made versus not having it
and have also enjoyed S4 sin
so in this screenshot i'd track it on the red highlighted garrote, i literally just want the functionality where it is blue if it's improved
Pi is less good now because the kb stacks are capped at half
kb cap is being reduced so PI isn't as quite as important for reaching it looking forward
ignore the 3 random garrotes on my screen 💀
oh nice, that's good to know.
i need to read patch notes - is there compensation for kb stacks cap being cut?
@dense aurora there's also a few weeks in between expansion launch/s1 starting so you can just try different prospective specs/classes and see that way 🙂
yeah for sure, my guild's got a roster list up for prospective planned mains and i'm still planning mage atm, but i've gotten pokes/pressure because my rogue was always ~orange parsing and the variance on my mage parses is nuts
so just trying to make decisions early so folks can make roster decisions
still tuning to be done
Does your guild roster look like this and you’re the only one playing the only class that has one single person but a mandatory raid buff?
If so - welcome to rogue prison
hahaha this is accurate but my guild is super casual and weirdly just wants to plan around main roles
they want me to play what i "enjoy" but also nudge me towards rogue because of performance
and we have no other rogues
Embrace the rogue suck - at some point we will get changes and be better than current state - maybe not be for a while or even until next tier though
we have 2 mages but they're both REALLY bad - i consistently outperform both despite my inconsistency - but no backup rogues
frankly, idc if rogue is meta or not - sub rogue was just so horribly not fun that i'd have quit if i didn't mainswap
Fate (bound) has spoken. You are a rogue
having a spreadsheet up on monitor 2 for timings on each fight was terrible
The raid buff really isn't that important to force anybody to play a class they don't want to play
yeah no one cares about me not bringing the debuff, they want me to have fun
but i have fun when i don't suck
my rogue was a consistent 90+ ilevel parse, my mage is anywhere from 20-99
Just turn off details and you'll never suck again 
sin was a blast when i had pi. when priests weren't around it was lame. then sub became king in s3 and having potentially ~5 sets of timings depending on dps role was the fucking worst
Besides, rogue was more than fine for all the previous tiers, and will be fine for the upcoming ones too
yeah, i know. frankly i could just play sin every tier (my fav spec) and no one would care
but my ocd would feel like i'm throwing if i didn't play the optimal spec when it's optimal
even if it ruins the game for me
(i recognize this is a me problem)
My guild is super casual and if I don’t play rogue I don’t think we’ll have one either.
yeah we literally don't have one if i'm not on my rogue
We have one other dude who alt swaps every week and he played rogue a lot last patch but he’s already said he’s not feeling it for tww. So I guess I gotta recruit a rogue if I wanna swap
Ive been rogue main since legion, I think im finally thinking about switching, probably shaman
Spriest has been super fun to me forever. But those dudes are dooming hard over there
Thats me
so
yeah
We haven’t done our sign ups yet but ours will look the same
Dozens of us
just in case my guild raids this week...I imagine the talents are the same except for we don't have Shadow Dance, and use ER?
I've mained rogue since TBC I'm gonna keep on trucking, but I am the only rogue in my guild.
Or, here's an idea
You don't swap and stick with us
Something something apes together strong
I change my mind every day on if I’m swapping or not
It won’t be 100% until heroic week lol
Don't leave me alone to suffer the coin
I love assa and I think it’s really fun but spriest is just so visually appealing to me. It’s a back and forth daily I swear. My friends are tired of me even talking about it
Spriest is not Sin Rogue
I know
Removing shadow dance completely kills Sin for Keys its hard enough restealthing between trash pulls as it is thank god we have shadow dance without it RiP Sin
this is just copy pasted for any class that has had changes
oh ok we doing this again? Let's go. Aerm; IC is not our main source of AoE.
we can apply bleeds in other ways, we're fine. Yes indeed, vanish does not replace Dance, so IC loses value
but believe in the Crimson Tempest
!restealth
Explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
- Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
- You can add in some sanguine/rupture value from carnage, but chaining allows for higher uptime and smoother energy overall, eliminating a lot of ramp at the start of a pull
- This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths (chain heavy spiteful weeks are only about -30% on stealths)
- You still have vanish and shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
Dance being gone doesn't actually change things that much. Also, restealths arent that important.
“Restealths gone sin dead” dont make me tap the sign
With nightstalker gone isn’t that just more damage gone off imp garrote? So restealths are even less valuable
Yeah - numerically it’s not that big - but if you telling me it doesn’t FEEL bad I’m calling you a liar 🙂
yeah, all in all CT should ideally carry more weight imo, dont think spatter will be as strong
I think buffing ct is based. No flair bias btw
Anyone running a dwarf rogue into TWW for the curse removal racial ? Seems like lots of curses and stuff in new dungeons
only 3 channels now to overflow with angry rogue chatting
so much to wait for
so much to read



Constructed alternatively
the hipster way to say build different
only 7 months late 
deer in headlights and you got lucky 

I just thought I was dead 
dwarf is life! plus we all run the toy so we can change race lol I just want the damn racial. Also a helpful weakaura which lets you know when is a good time to use it
nanya
It means none of your business
Nelf re-stealth/drop aggro > Curse removal
!dagger

Not good enough for nelf restealth never seems to work for me
Skill issues 
Yes
Make sure to trick first, don't have any dots running on you, and stay outside melee range.
There's a macro in the channel, just need to spam it till you enter stealth
Yeah fair enough, just didn’t know if dwarf was gonna be useful with how many curses on multiple people seem to go out
Might make one for the fun of it anyway
While mop still going
Not that you'd necessarily play deathstalker in keys but keep in mind Corrupt the Blood pretty much guarantees a combat entry pulse every tick of rupture.
Which may interfere with melding
I would be concerned if I would ever play deathstalker in it's current iteration

You have cloak anyways
Also make sure nothing is casting. Sometimes depending on the mob and its spell you won’t be able to stealth either
deathstalker feels very cringe,tested just yday,can confirm
That's putting it lightly. Fatebound feels better by simple virtue that it feels non existant
Which is a depressing thought 
This and the rotation is a bit easier then in retail.
yeah i rly hope for deathstalker fixes
it feels rly bad and it has so much potential
What you want fixed? Or you mean tuned?
mark applications needs a rework ye
idk how that thing makes sense
That is not gonna happen this late.
Sadly
yeah ik,im sniffin' massive amounts of hopium 
The good stuff?
the best 😅
It's not necessarily the mark only, but how everything else interact with it. We got a collection of random buff, a node that boost DMG to that target, a node that does DMG to the target by hitting others, a constant need to re-re-re apply the mark with max CP DN, etc etc etc
i think if they cook the mark application mechanic
It's so damn awkward to use it distract from playing the spec and feels foreign to it
DN will also be tuned a bit better as well
but its like mapko said
aint happening
we coinflippin sin or trickster sub
I decided to give a name to my coin, to improve my relationship with it
I name it "Trash"
Trash will help me, I believe
cant go bad 
If the no dust icon by my name wasn't enough, I also happen to very much dislike court jester as well XD
u look divided there man
I was sub rogue for the longest time, historically speaking. It was a painful break up 
But eh, I still love Sin, despite the flaws, we are thankfully still functional
I despise our hero talents across the board, that's unfortunate, but I'm here to stay regardless
Also, Shadowheart is a node that exists, that however I can't even begin to explain and make sense of 
Outside of it being a placeholder, a promise of actual updates, sometime somewhere in a far future
Does it even work with dance?
Tbf an understatement. Just take the hero talents as what they are for now, a bonus, and embrace the greatness of the spec itself 
Hell if I know, but I promise that even if it does it's still completely irrelevant 😂
just having it is enhancing for a casual, we playing a casual focused game :p
I mean it's shit. But gotta live with it for now.
See in the time span of my work day now I wanna play rogue again
Welcome home, honey ❤️
Ye got to get uh... Whatever the things you can get from pre patch event. Which is in a week anyway
Got to update my weak auras and UI this week
The Enhancer build
with Primordial wave and chain harvest

Its a shame that chain harvest didnt make it
Sin legion prepatch was crazy 
Wait did they change tsets from classes that got theirs in the spec tree now?
But doesnt sin
no
get theirs in talent tree
no
