Armor penetration goes brrrrr

arctic venture
#

Anyway this prepatch graphics update I really liked

#

Icons

haughty flicker
#

warband bank will be really nice once its working

#

if it ever works

long island
#

does assassination only use daggers or swords as well?

normal mist
#

Daggers

#

Swords are for fighters

#

We are assassins

grim jay
#

But we got daggers that look like swords

#

Many

loud gull
#

how are the rogue buffs in beta, bandaid fix or actually decent ?

grim jay
#

Needed because undertuned

#

Fixes still needed

hollow stone
#

I think this is the perfect time to bring up again that daggers should be moggable to swords

grim jay
#

No

hollow stone
#

imagine mutilating with 2x thunderfurys

#

the RP

#

the immersion

haughty flicker
#

it will happen eventually

#

just like different armor types will be moggable

#

their argument originally was they wanted you to be able to recognize classes at a glance, and that is so far out the window it looks like a russian economist

#

i am 100% certain it will change

#

not in the near future

#

but eventually

quiet oar
#

Itll happen

#

when players are getting mad

quiet oar
#

and they need their occasional W

slim hamlet
#

Someone said mogging?

quiet oar
#

to get possitve feedback

haughty flicker
#

ye pretty much lmao

grim jay
#

Even in games where you have no armortype specific moggs, they are atleast class specific

#

Often

#

Which is good

#

Imo

haughty flicker
#

there would probably still be class specific sets

#

like tier sets

grim jay
#

Dont want even more people to run around with the same mog

haughty flicker
#

the amount of mogs you could make would multiply exponentially

quiet oar
#

@normal mist

#

Write an Essay about why Transmog shouldnt be locked to armor specific

grim jay
hollow stone
#

transmog update in tww is kinda big tho, pantless? now I can finally live me real life in game

slim hamlet
haughty flicker
#

the ability to take my pants off is the best part of prepatch for sure

grim jay
normal mist
#

I agree

haughty flicker
#

paladin armor btw

slim hamlet
#

Bro got summoned but didn't read his assignment

#

smh

normal mist
#

More cosmetic armor? Yes.
But old models that are already attached to some classes? No

grim jay
#

And your plan fails

slim hamlet
haughty flicker
quiet oar
haughty flicker
#

having class sets be unique is good for fantasy, but i see no reason the generic pieces cant be used by everyone

normal mist
#

And TWW is already giving us a LOT of cosmetic armor

#

And most you can see already in game

hollow stone
#

Male or female?

We call it technical surpirses

haughty flicker
#

everything is intended

#

dont worry

clever sapphire
#

guys good tip, dont try trading

haughty flicker
#

yeah trading is working as intended too

#

locks you out for 10 minutes to punish you

#

for trying to avoid the auction house

hollow stone
#

a character with that name already exists

normal mist
fierce sigil
#

f.e. my kingsbane is just doing 2,8m damage... isnt that a little low? im pressing the right buttons

normal mist
#

No

#

It was even nerfed

quiet oar
clever sapphire
quiet oar
#

What did you just call me

clever sapphire
#

gotta wait till the game logs out your char

hollow stone
#

oh, I know, I was commenting on the trade bug

clever sapphire
#

ye it kicked me after like 10 minutes

hollow stone
#

it kicks you out of the game and then hits you with the ol' classico

quiet oar
#

Well

#

How dare you trying to use the auction house

clever sapphire
#

i was just spectating the sennarth kill, got to roll on the loot still and got the vault slot

quiet oar
#

??

clever sapphire
#

oh nah it was me trading loot from terros

#

and broke both our games

quiet oar
#

One of the inventories was full

fierce sigil
#

but round about 500k dps in burst seems fairly low on st dummy with m+ bleed build no?.. i dont get it

normal mist
#

St

#

M+ bleed

gusty mirage
#

no buffarinos

quiet oar
gusty mirage
#

a lot of damage is tied to shit like battle shout/chaos brand/potion/etc

quiet oar
#

It was your Bonespike from 3 weeks ago

fierce sigil
#

with flask, runes, food...
Y but in my m+ build last season i did great ST damage and good AoE... i didnt play Bleed Build tbh

normal mist
#

I believe you're getting to the point

fierce sigil
#

y is bleed build that bad? 😄

spice surge
#

Its not

normal mist
#

Awful

#

Oh sorry Eleem

#

You go ahead

spice surge
#

Idk you cant just compare the burst

#

KB was nerfed a lot

#

Damage was put into other spells insead

fierce sigil
#

hmmm so ST got struck relatively hard in the new M+ Build?

spice surge
#

Not really

#

You can just play the cleave build still if you want

#

But playing a singletarget build for m+ always seemed odd to me

balmy condor
#

It’s just one of those things man

spice spire
balmy condor
#

One guy up high said prio damage

#

And it just snowballed out of control

And now it’s full single target everything

Maybe he saw the legendary item called Grass, that everyone says I should touch

quiet oar
#

Imagine touchign grass

#

Couldnt be me

haughty flicker
#

i try to avoid it

spice spire
#

Good gif for that

haughty flicker
#

what do you mean this patch isnt working perfectly immediately

#

and my class isnt doing enough damage

#

blizzard must pay for these crimes

spice spire
spice spire
haughty flicker
#

there are certain things that i dont excuse

quiet oar
haughty flicker
#

like the bosses randomly breaking

#

but i think its understandable that stuff like the warband bank isnt working right away

#

with the amount of stuff that must be going on in the backend

spice spire
#

Yeah sure

haughty flicker
#

the talent tree stuff is disastrous though

quiet oar
spice spire
#

Warbands should work by TWW though, I think that’s pretty reasonable

quiet oar
#

Thats vacation how i imagine it

haughty flicker
#

releasing broken trees then saying its intentional

#

and yeah if it doesnt work by TWW then i'd have a big problem with that

spice spire
#

Yeah no that’s not the people I tell to “touch grass”

#

The “rerolling BM” mfs

#

But also @balmy condor

balmy condor

It’s gonna be schnasty

TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back

  • If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
  • Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
  • Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
  • With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use

get the addon called azeroth auto pilot and do what it says (it will tell you what quests to do)
and while you are doing quests you can queue for dungeons in the dungeon browser and wait until the group is formed automaticly

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

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 which gives you plenty of options to get your stealth effects
  • This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years

Is it fair to say the bleed build is a little easier than poison one in m+? less punishing if you missplay your envenom windows

strange python

the wowhead guide mentions that, bleed build is easier for noobs

#

can also flip out of splatter

I simmed both builds the dps is really really close

yeah, in current prepatch it's about like a 2-3% dps increase over improved main gauche, but outlaw's damage is so low that I was trying to eek out whatever damage I could

still ended up doing tank dps on ST fights

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

After playing a decent number of keys and doing heroic raids this week - I think I actually like having SBS and ER. The play feels a little bit more engaging overall. I don’t like feeling a bit more energy starved in ST than normal, but overall I’d say for prepatch we feel pretty good.

Now… when the hero talents come into play may feel different

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

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 which gives you plenty of options to get your stealth effects
  • This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years

Generally if a standalone exists inside of a pack, it's a pain to extract and maintain it standalone, from documentation to gifs / screenshots to simply keeping all the export codes in sync, which is why most just make a pack and never go further

dense glen
#

With the changes for pre patch, I see it’s no longer recommended that you try to line up thistle tea with the end of kingsbane. Am I reading that right? Guide says tea with the first shiv, not the second one (which generally lines up with the last ticks of KB)

normal mist
#

Yes you are homie

#

you now want to use one on the opener with shiv to get the CD rolling

loud gull
normal mist
#

and then use it with shiv IF you would take full energy from tea, or just use it when starving

dense glen
#

Is that just because of the KB nerf, it’s less strong so stacking everything on top of it isn’t as good?

balmy condor
#

Yes

slate crown
# loud gull in the WA pack or make a new aura by itself ?

What I mean is, if you only want the poison reminder auras but don't want the rest of the pack, then you'd create a new aura group by itself to place the poison reminders from the pack in, then delete the rest of the pack.

You don't need to keep the pack if that's all you want. If you want to use the pack instead, you don't have to do anything, just use the pack and they'll be in place.

#

It ramps up faster and hits the cap

So the end isn’t as important

Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back

  • If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
  • Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
  • Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
  • With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use

Deathstalker Buffs

With these buffs, Deathstalker is likely the play until stuff gets changed or Fatebound gets tuned higher. Going slightly into depth with each change:

Clear the Witness:
Interesting change. Could potentially mean that we always want to FoK once after consuming Deathstalker's Mark. FoK however hits like a wet noodle, so not sure if this is enough to push it. A change to the CP amount gained would have probably done more. We'll try stuff in the apl and see what the sims say.

Deathstalker's Mark:
This is probably the biggest buff to the tree numerically. However it's just a bigger %, so nothing crazy exciting.

Fatal Intent:
I know, it looks like a mistake. The intent is probably to get rid of the flat damage and add AP scaling, but it is just worded weirdly. With AP scaling, it basically means that it will do more damage the more Attack Power (gear) you have, instead of doing a flat amount at all gear levels. So now it scales both with AP and Versatility.

Lingering Darkness:
The talent that everyone loves is now better and more similar to the Dragonflight S2 4p tier set. Bigger number better yeah, shouldn't affect the rotation whatsoever though as the final tick of Kingsbane already lands slightly outside of Deathmark, thus benefitting from this node automatically.

Momentum of Despair:
Critical Strike damage isn't something you see often. Interesting change. Bigger number better.

Singular Focus:
YAY MORE FUNNEL

Symbolic Victory:
Still super useless node, do not play it. Play Lingering Darkness instead.

Deathstalker still plays poorly and increasing the numbers doesn't really address those issues. Hopefully in the future the talent tree itself sees changes and not just numerical tuning. Get ready to play Deathstalker boys, it's starting to look pretty strong.

# austere sorrel What did you write?

Basically double vanish is 1 extra vanish in a key regardless of how you play it. And sure you can save some cd waste by having 2 charges or maybe double iron wire a couple times but that still means you’re just holding vanish which will result in less casts not more.
