It's a take
i fucking hate steve
I mean, as far as I know, at least with fatebound you would play basically exactly the same as you do now right?
Besides m+ with SBS maybe
and then when we get our rework, we will be nerfed due to us getting more external buffs again instead of nerfing those external buffs
and idk about you guys but I like current assa
I enjoy delves
Same
I blame myself
Demon take
I have never been more bored than watching delves
is the idea with the 2nd shiv in each set to not let it drop or to reapply as soon as it drops? what should i be aiming for?
imagine trying to have a serious conversation with aurhrorhrorhorhrohrorahora
I do too honestly. I was more speaking of the overwhelming majority of players that don't spend time in discords
The same people hating on devs
Germany is affecting @balmy condors judgement

I aint paying premium omega price for beta
aint fucking happening
to fully cover kingsbane
ty
Wait
tbf I paid for early access and got Beta as a freebie XD
kekw
Following up with that, actually. Are we vanishing during KB to re-up a bigger Garrote?
I thought we would use it with DM again without SD now
well kingsbane is 1 minute, and DM is two minutes
vanish isn't really attached to any specific thing other than deathmark, you just cast it to have improved garrote for the duration of it
Yea, I thought he was talking MA
So it's more to align with Deathmark. Got it.
Like at the end
MA stinky
I would say that, how did you know
2x the bleed make vanish 2x as strong, math is checking out
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
or something like that
They do actually say that
beat off to mages and spriests? 
I've heard it at least once now
bonus points if you cry while doing it
This is crazy work

Gotta use the opposite hand
wat
idk that was a pretty straight forward sentence
if you're normally a righty, use your left, if you're normally a lefty, use your right
Wait you guys don't use your feet?
Wait you guys have feet?
Wait
What
well yeah
How did we end up like this
the other chats would be even more degen
How did all poor souls end up in the same spec
would you rather be discussing sepsis like sub chat?
this entire discord's been straight cooked for the last 4 months
lmao
it aint just assa bud
i wish people could fix me
I am that hologram woman from bladerunner fr
but i still play rogue
rogues 🤝 mentally ill
^
By this discord's standards, I am unfixable, because I chose to play rogue 2 weeks ago (moving off Warlock and Evoker)
wow players 🤝 mentally ill
@spice spire load up the infamous quote when I flamed my mage in 9.0
That is suicide
mentally ill? i was told it was just ADHD 
why in hell would you do that
Does ADHD count as mentally ill?
We need one for raid, and I enjoy rogues
Warlock looks strong and Evokers are just a cheat code
fair
i offered to switch to sham for my guild
Evokers or aug
but no one else wants to play rogue
damn quake's busy
sorry yeah aug
I'm going to have alts for keys, so it's not like I'm one-tricking
They understand
The classic
cus like
Devestation is cool, and preservation is the best desinged healer in the game atm
its just aug that is a giant mistake
and needs alt+f4 asap
remember friends, always flame your mages into quitting the game and going back to classic
If pres wasn't poopoo range it would be best designed
it's the melee way
Until then disc is easy choice best healer
I'm in the minority that REALLY enjoys playing Aug though lmfao
its also that im somewhat decent at the class and no one would be able to do what i do
what if i like my guilds mages?
aug may be fun, but aug also came after people were bitching about externals for over 2 years
class traitor
class traitor
get help
I'm a terrorist that enjoys the minmaxing of "make sure to buff correct people every 30 seconds"
and blizzard went "oh we should make a spec that's all externals"
but its ok cus a friend of stealthi is a friend of my
Even if I'm not the best at it, it's fun
they arent internet cry babies like 95% of a certain channel here
traitor.
well you also like me, so your choice of who you decide to befriend is already sus af
I do like that too, until I realised that what I planned doesn't happen because people randomly hold CDs
happens 100% of the time in m+
LMFAO this part can get annoying. At least on Farm. Prog is pretty determined.
can't tell if you're talking about us or outlaw
Also, I don't pug, so my group is in comms so we plan it out in keys
Both
Both
true
nah its def outlaw 
How are sub people in the same channel as assa and outlaw people
Truly the only mentally well ones
what
Sub players are goated
fr
They legit have my respect
im here, because i play all 3 specs
i just play which is best in both keys and raid
NOOOO, YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE
No cap

all 6 of them that dont jump the second Sub is not giga bis 
XD
im so mentally well
In prepatch if SBS is alreaedy on the target, in which case do we prefer using SBS over mutilate?
isnt sbs passive?
isnt SBS passive now?
Isn't sbs passive?
Yes
lol
LMAO
Isn't sbs passive?
Yea
Yes it is
Np king
Any other questions?
Comin back from s2, I guess I need to read more
You do
Will you marry me?
Also I like how all of us weren't sure
As most of us
Damn
sbs is passive
That was quick
love at first sight

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
Old +20 = current +10
+10 = portal
12 = 22 pretty much
Hey maybe a dumb question but with deathstalker will the gameplay loop be centered around holding cooldowns for that first empowered envenom and trying to get in a 2nd/3rd while CDs are running?
Hey im one of those even have a pretty certificate from my doctor thats says Paranoid schizophrenic
Actual diagnosis or undifferentiated and they just lumped into the most common?
I’m not above making it real

I mean wtf are they doing with lingering darkness man
o im 100% for real
Why
what do you mean
Why buffing such a horrible talent
Damn I hope your medication forever works for you - schizophrenia is very scary even as a simulation. Can’t imagine homie.
Why wouldnt they buff a horrible talent
To make less horrible
If talent bad talent buff to be good 
What we cooking
Nothing just ate the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever made tho so ama
How you make your dressing
And don't you dare tell me you take it natty with no lube
Your right what was i thinking about 
question, and I'll be judging you for this, do you seal your burrito by searing the fold in a pan
like the bottom fold I mean
good
See, this is why I stopped making burritos, too many sweats
It was also a double tortilla
listen I've known some freaks in my time
So like
If I don’t
That shit is going everywhere
Because I have to cool > reheat since it was a prepped one
The hottest of them all
outlaw tears?
a 100% crit KB with PI and DM in execute
Tapatio- if it’s at work I try to keep it mild
tapatio is solid, I'm personally a cholula kind of guy
You guys making words up, thinking we won't notice
True

Eh. It’s vinegary to me, I like the green tho. If it’s at home I’ll do a whiskey smoked ghost or something
But I can’t have fire coming out of me at work
I like the more vinegary taste to it, as I also drink kombucha so it fits
The office bathroom is right next to head of surgical supplies and people are in and out all day.
I cannot use that until 4pm. So we stick with mild
I love kombucha and chalula is good I just find other things better
Does serrated contribute to energy?
With what?
no, just gives cp refund iirc
I see
Venomous Wounds is specifically Garrote and Rupture
No one talked for 21 minutes, y'all waiting for energy or something?
just take a sip of your
, instant energy.

I may be late to the party, but it seems like dropping ER for 1 point in subterfuge might be really good in m+ if you are getting broken out before stealth goes to ticking aoe damage or something very often.
I havent played a lot of sin m+ so may be completely wrong
not sure how often that becomes a problem
Subterfuge for us does nothing honestly.
You don't really get thrown out of stealth that much
Improved Garrote works for 6s even without Subterfuge
Same as IC
We don't need Subterfuge to function whatsoever
do you lose the extra cp generation from shrouded?
not that it really matter
would rather have ER
nope, you essentially only get to use ambush
No, Shrouded works as well
as a "benefit", and probably don't want to use ambush over mut
yeah, def not worth
But yeah, you shouldn't get thrown out of stealth that much. Usually ticking dots like corrupting rage, won't take you out of stealth
There are some bugs and effects that might, like the Sark cloak
But those are gone the next patch anyways
We're chilling
Is this just because ambush wouldn't apply caustic spatter or something
(Not that I'm running subterfuge just curious about this statement)
it does
Ambush just numerically is worse
Mutilate does so much more. Applies poisons better, gives more cp
mut is also more overloaded, there isn't that much additional things you get from using ambush
Ambush can be better here and there and only when played together with Improved Ambush
But Mutilate is kinda king
Oh. I thought we're running improved ambush and blindside like almost all the time atm
Blindside is an energy talent
At least I was running it for keys instead of the 4x poison build
Hi there, what do you think of the rogue assa buff??
Shirley more will come
anyone wanna bet we get some more doubles and triples
although i wonder what number will be the final one on fatal intent
Yeah we run Blindside always, no exceptions really
Improved Ambush however doesn't go hand in hand with Blindside
But they did nerf Tight Spender recently, which is why Improved Ambush is starting to come up again
The past 2 seasons we have kinda only played Tight Spender

was mutilate better during shadow dance in season 3 ? 🤔
If you played Tight Spender, yes
Was better but more RNG
Right?
huh im a noob then
I was still very new at that point and ran improved ambush with blindside almost all the time
It went from "Mutilate during Zoldyck Kingsbane" to "just Mutilate always whatever"
I mean it's insanely minor
No biggies, not a massive loss
Idk the % but like nothing
Less than 1%
I was expecting like 0.2%
That simmed better for me most of the time too
It was around 0.4-0.6% ish iirc
It's a bit difficult to say because changing the talents also means changing the rotation and changing enchants/gems
Anyways small stuff
Improved Ambush good now
Or rather, Tight Spender not as good anymore
I like when the "improved" generator you only get in specific scenarios is actually better
I thought tight spender would be better when we got to a new expac with less stats
Did it get changed or just don't need as much energy?
I've noticed at times I'm getting a ridiculous amount of blindside procs below 35%, like way more than I would expect. Probably just anecdotal but not sure whats causing it compared to s4
Not the first time I've heard it. A lot of people say that
But I think I heard the same thing in S4 as well
Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't I guess
Doesn't blindside have execute?
Yes
I am confused then
But people are saying they get Blindside procs with every other hit
Yes but just anecdotally its proccing like 70% of the time in execute range
Like much more often than what's said on the tooltip
Yea
Maybe they stealth buffed it back to what it was
a little oopsie from the intern
I was wondering if ambush was doing the double hit like mutilate was and each hit had a 35% chance or something
Since they were goofing around with the ambush stuff or whatever it was
Only 1 way to find out, time to hit a dummy 10k times like we did with sub tier set in 10.2ptr
Crazy how much prepatch has thrown off my stat weights. I've gained so much dps
Hi dieslow this is friend
Well we've also just gained bonus secondary stats on every piece of armor
Ele sham and arms war are bussin rn
True
the dreaded words
not the stat weights

Stat weights on assa rogue
Assa has to be the least affected by stats in the game right?
The reason people are doing big damage now
Is because Assassination was aurabuffed by like 42%
not because of stat weights
Must be the stats
lol
Demon mode
96 with TF
idk we raided with 11 people, killed 6 mythic bosses
I have never known what my stats look like
The only way to get KB back to it's glory
2000% mastery
prepatch is a joke
I just look to make sure I have all buffs up etc
I feel like crit is the only one you feel
I tend to forget things or fuck up lol
And vers specifically in dungeons
You look at your stats to do that?
Like what are you looking for there
Numbers being off
What if he just likes looking at it
Easier than sifting through the billion buffs at the top right of the screen
Is this a crime in 2024?
But like what buffs
or just get a wa to tell you
What buffs are we talking about
Right, the easiest way is to just get a weakaura that tells you that
Raid buffs, flask and runes
I never have to look at that
Because when the raid leader slams a ready check, you get a massive notification in the middle of your screen
Bro is playing in VR with a steering wheel
that has everything in grey
then you go
oopsie daisy
flask, food, runes, slam
I think it's a BigWigs feature
or something else
Yea
Mrt
Are you making fun of my OCD? 
Definitely a thing integrated
mrt right
Yeah mrt
yea it might be mrt
Sure but what happens if you get a new piece of gear
and suddenly all the stats are completely different
then you can't tell either way
He studies it for an hour to make sure it's imprinted
Lolol
why don't you sit on deez nuts bud
PRESENT THEM PAL
😂
He needs some deez
How does the tuning feel for Deathstalker? I don't have beta access to test
But feels pretty shit to play
What’s the play loop
Hit enemy -> profit
Ive seen a number of people saying the play style blows for DS
Not sure what it is tho haven’t looked

Open with ambush, rest of the rotation identicle?
To me everything they have explained sounds like a skill oasis
fr ong fr
Hmm
No rush in figuring it out now anyway… stuff is bound to change
For my peanut sized brain anyway

I just hope they can make it work with hypercharged combo points so we don't have to skirt around them
So like, should I actually resub or should I take the chance I have and actually just not play
But the void beckons
Only reason I’m continuing to play is my guild
I’d miss the homies too much if I stopped
I am likely gonna have to find a new one
the void kekw's
Uhdk angle surely
DK is definitely the most intriguing dps spec besides assa
But I feel like if I don't play assa I just don't raid
and if I don't raid I just don't play
just become an RPer. ezpz
Sorry I only RP in helldivers 2
You will find me fighting for democracy for real in there tho
Same
Ye my guild decided to not raid so the chances of me playing tww plummeted lmao
If I’m not raiding I’m not playing wow
Just find new one
M+ gets boring quick… I’ll push past 2500 then just not care unless I need gear
I only stop playing m+ once finding groups gets too hard because I still pug 95% of my keys
Having the raid also breaks up the flow of doing that over and over again, along with ofc having extra loot to make pushing easier
PVP angle maybe?
Hell the fuck no
Been wanting to get back in to arenas also.. haven’t done so since bfa
PVP is reserved for really good tmogs or earth ele legendary shaman in SL
PVP is fun as healer, but I only like disc right now, which is not fun in PVP
Interesting
I know disc is popular to play in pvp but I just dislike it a lot
rsham and rdrood are my goats tho
Is SBS bugged on prepatch? I dont see it on my spellbook and my macro isnt working either
how is rogue looking in TWW? ive heard a lot of people dooming about it..
Sin looks the same
Fatebound entirely passive
Deathstalker a bit annoying to play with, but super strong
Same as in, quite good?
do you know about the other specs aswell?
Outlaw has seen the most changes. Sub has seen some, but not that many. I think it's best if you check out their respective channels and the pins there
thank you!
np!

hey guys, is getting a second vanish not worth it at all, haven't played rogue in a while. Just checking out the talents here
You already have improved garrotes for your deathmark
So the only thing an extra vanish charge gets you (mind you it costs 4 points to get it) is some extra imp garrote uptime outside of cds
Which is very very unimpressive
Yea that makes sense, thank you
anyone ever heard of this fella. lol
Yeah I wonder

Also I just ran a mists
Fun fact
When the first boss tree guy swaps to friendly
If you have a mark on him
It poofs
And you lose a hero talent tree for 2 minutes
lmfao
Also I just ran a necrotic wake
Fun fact
Peak class design
gonezo right
And your mark poofs
so you can vanish whenever Blizzard decides to remove the mark
Also
In mists
When you’re fighting the labyrinth boss
And you have to swap to the clones
But you still have 1 stack of your mark left
So you just dump an envenom into the now-immune boss
Because you want your mark
So you get the capstone
And then join your party on the clone
And you rupture
And then you build to a 7cp envenom
And the clone dies
and then it died!
And refreshes your capstone timer
So you waddle back to the boss
Having done nothing
I will say, when it works, it’s fine
But sometimes you stealth->ambush really quickly
And it doesn’t apply
Cause xD
And sometimes you lose the mark
And the time it takes to swap to anything is insane
So like if you can get around the 4-5 quirks and painful situations that happen literally all the time
Then it’s okay
Tree is decent
Just very boring and dumb and the mark is in no worth playing around
I love it when the thing that's supposed to be cool and exciting is instead thing that torments me every time I go to sleep and every hour I'm awake
make it apply with rupture, jesus fucking christ
so many frking problems would be solved
so many
Deathstalker actively ruining the gameplay, the flow and everything is just not it
Not the flow 
Even "ok" and "decent" is a pretty huge miss for what hero talents are supposed to be.
the fact that its possible to NEED to have to use mutilate 3 times and then envenom to get the hero talent to APPLY
suck my cock
4 times is also possible
OI MATE
if you're really, really, really unlucky
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
like
why is it max CP FORCED
just make the next envenom/evisc stronger
if its worth it, people would go max cp anyway
instead of frking forcing is akward in
Looks like around a 1.6% chance with 40% crit to end up mutilating 4 times in a row
So probably never ever gonna happen
doesnt sound like a lot, but its something you will notice
but when it does, that's gonna be glorious
The mark + hunt them down + singular focus + clear the witnesses was a total of 5.5% of my damage in those keys btw
Idk how big the envenom capstone is
Or the mutilate buff
assuming they fix the hookups, just come up with some f******* way to make it work without stealth ambush

But my melees did more than my mutilates
Hunt Them Down needs to die
did they fix hunt them down with caustic, or are we still AA bots for keys with it?
Where's all the uptime fanatics now? Imagine losing 5s of Deathstalker MELEE damage
omg
i wonder why singular focus is so hard to fix
tragedy
I've already decided against assass main but I read this discord the most, for the deathstalker drama
Don't think Hunt them down spatters, no. And neither does Singular Focus
Singular focus massive 0.5%
:)
Depends on what you mean by fix
no no no, another 10% auto hit buff and random 20% buffs to deathstalker talents instead of fucking fixing the tree
holy FUCK
we will be the next SUB rogue in m+
I mean the way theyve made the talent it cant really work with a bunch of shit because then it just lags out the game
So its just stuck being terrible
kinda what i meant
They could batch it to once every 0.5 seconds
deathstalker is a social experiment
will people take the tree that does more damage but actively makes the spec worse
What talent builds would u recommend trying out in m+ in TWW beta atm?
or will they do less damage and take the passive tree
Any of the ones in the pins
Yeah too bad numerically it's just so much better than Fatebound
Like they really need to give Fatebound a good bump for it to be a viable option
But I guess you can't get to the high Deathstalker sim numbers if the game decides to just delete marks here and there willy-nilly
Just sit on the capstone man
And pray you don’t hit 7cp or your spec doesn’t work
And also don’t worry about the mark uptime you’re losing
Very simple
:))) sounds exciting
Good thing we still get extra FOK and MELEE dam even if we don't play around the marks
losing those two would be terrible
ill fok in st even if its a dps loss to get value out of the talent. cant let it be wasted
i think ive heard someone fok in st before, ahead of the curve i guess
Gotta play around marks though to get the big juicy single FoK
make the capstone not require 7CP? Make it 5 so the talents don't affect it so to speak? idk
Yeah, some people used to do that in Legion (me included)
I don't know if it was even worth it back then
That would be too easy of a fix, thank you, next
60s darkest night timer like whispyr has suggested? make blindside able to apply mark in a bind?
that + mark on rupture
now its atleast playable on all fights
thats legit the only 2 things it needs
oh yea mandatory talent
and they dont do it
They just gotta rip the mark apart and completely change how it’s applied
I'm not a fan of the Rupture idea personally
Make it apply from any generator if you don’t have a mark
Yup, GarryD 🔛 🔝
dont make it so we're bound to a target. completely remove the hero talent and build it from 0.
i just think it would work cus its a ability that assa and sub share 
The ones in pins are for prepatch? is there any difference in beta? builds? what hero talents do u recommend to try in m+ , sry if I missed something
That too
Nothing changes, same everything, hero talent doesn’t matter
No, it's the exact same except you get a free hero tree on top.
we already have so much that makes us stick to a target, why make it even worse?
True
C L A S S F A N T A S Y
no wait, its H E R O F A N T A S Y now
gotta remind myself about the new made up buzzwords
idk why blizz didnt think of "20% mut damage from behind", its deathSTALKER
its thematic
we love restrictions
and generator damage? ohhh mama
blindside applying the mark would be more a bandaid at this point, i suspect a later patch ripup at this point
capstone should let you leave creepy voicemails
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
that one
i touched myself to this

i am a STALKER. deathSTALKER
good old navy seal copypasta
Huh? Why are you talking about Blindside
Are you confusing it with something?
wtf
Blindside is the talent that gives you a free ambush once in a while
The idea that these trees are evergreen and we have to play them in future expansions as well actually scares me. Deathstalker absolutely needs to be on the top of their list for "full redesign" in a future patch. Like give us something that actually looks like it had clear thought put into it and wasn't rushed out at the end of alpha just so there was something to release.
they are "evergreen"
aka
I know, that wasn't a question
Evergreen diarrhea
"negative feedback and them trying to somehow get that shit working results in 1-2 of the talents beeing put into the talent tree and thats it"
Did they confirm that they're evergreen?
ye
yes
Rip
im legit suprised if they survive in their current way into the next expansion
like, really suprised
its such a giant shitshow
Very weird to me that a system like the hero talents is made evergreen
They did say however they were open to even full redesigns
Fair enough
so we're not 100% stuck with it
Sepsis says hello on sub
tbf, its blizzard
they say allot of stuff
like, allot
and then dont do it, or do the opposite lol
sepsis dead now
we can go back to pretending it doesn't exist
And they realize it’s missing the 20%
good meme
I don't think the evergreen stuff however fits that bill
I'd not be surprised if they de-flavoured them and gave em similar treatment to covenant abilities
They're pretty adamant on what stays in the game and what doesn't
I mean I figured it out. Any intern can.
Jimmy the Janitor is busy
it will 100% get HEAVY changes
Absolutely
like, the entire "system"
For sure
not just the trees themself
thats why i said "it will not survive in its current way into the next expansion"
next expac will be "adding upon the current hero talents"(give each class a hero talent available to all specs)
Little Jimmy just needs to delete it from the tree, but I think they’re all allergic to touching the tree.

like, 100% that happens
and people will praise blizz for adding evergreen system
and then will be left to rot between patches
"evergreen" is really just the next shity buzzword that people repeat
its glorious
how easy they do it
say a shity word a couple times with some PR talk and they eat it up like crazy
Been pretty consistent with what's evergreen and what's not though
Don't think it's really all that
You'll never take my sparkles away
Bis spell
BiS if you need mental support, yeha
do the hero talents have any visuals like that or are they all pretty subdued?
the animation lock?
yeah the really fun thing
no idea tbh, i havent touched beta in a few weeks
With the right options, fatebound will explode in coins
thoughts on shadowstrike visuals? as a serial lagger the ambush / shs animation used to terrorise my teammates when I had stuff like fyrakk circle drop
maybe the future of rogue visuals is dh tier obnoxious visuals
I get on discord and what do I read, conspiracy to side with the coin
sigh

My thought was that if deathstalker's mark applied with ambush without ambush, it might be a bandaid til they actually fixed the hero tree
Since, you know, it really would not change anything for sub
That doesnt solve anything, it becomes a RNG if you get to apply the mark at all at any given time
Hence, "bandaid", not solution
thats.. not even a bandaid thought 
I mean I didn't think it was possible, but you found a way to make deathstalker worse 
i mean, how so, since it would still work as is, with an potential extra proc potential
waiting on that or being incentivized to fish for blindside procs would probably feel worse than just accepting you gotta wait tbh
That is fair
1- it forces you to spec into blindside
2- it relies on RNG change to pop when needed
3- forces fishing for--- yeah chunk said it
absolutely needs a rework at this point
I get where you're coming from, I just think it will -feel- worse to play around which isn't a worthy sacrifice
4- I still fckin hate the coin to be clear
you and me both
nobody cares but I need to say it at least once a day
i uh may have farmed up the death stalker title for reasons

i was thinking of bandaids til they actually decide to actually give the hero tree some actuall attention
It really just comes down to the fact that we're too late into the beta cycle for any functional changes. So if they're going to do any of that in a future patch, just go big instead of a bunch of bandaids to a clunky and not well thought out tree
I am 100% on the side that our hero trees needs to be nuked, and started back from the ground up. Throw in Oracle into that pile while we're at it, get the priests on side
does it force blindside?
maybe i've misunderstood but i don't think it does at all
what no, we were talking about the hypotetical IF it used blindside
OH
lowkey
it would actually be bad to take Blindside if it did
you'd not want to randomly add stacks in lieu of more capstone procs
maybe if it didnt somehow refresh the mark, it could work
and, you know
make it even worse in m+
cus you would need to spam mutilate for a blindside proc
until you get a mark
lol
well derping with sub on a dummy, it might work
sub, spamming SS doesnt reapply the mark, but if you have the darkest night buff, that overrides any mark you might have consumed some stacks of it appears
Looking at the builds that whispyr has done, it only "forces" if in the hybrid build. Worst case scenario, you do not run the hybrid build. Either bleed focus or cleave focus. Again, not a complete fix, merely a bandiad

I’m doing this now
!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 which gives you plenty of options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
which achievement is that one?
wait how
!stats
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.
does anyone else have issue with caustic spatter? is not working to me but when i change to internal bleeding , internal works
Uhh its garrison stuff
Are you mutilating a target who is affected with rupture + deadly poison @tiny quartz ?
You gotta do the gladiators sanctum and then kill undead
ys
I haven’t start I mean I’m gonna when I get home
I didn’t even play rogue in wod
Goodluck without buying a "boost" for it
Time to queue ashran only
ashran pog
i spent a lot of time in ashran
but most of it i was just away from the zerg doing pve lmao
I played some boomkin then so I’d get the ancient artifact and go off
Haven't had an issue. Got a log?
Look at the conditions of Spatter
is that a weak aura that shows caustic?
lmao, fair
It requires for the target to have Rupture and Deadly Poison on it
After which you would Mutilate to activate it
TLDR its an addon named Tell Me When
So either you don't have Rupture on the target, or you don't have poisons on
Or you haven't mutilated
Spatter works perfectly fine
i showed it above
its most likely the requirements

All of that activate with timers once i press the abilities, aka a scuffed WA that most of you guys use
he plays outlaw, its fine if you make fun of him a bit
kinda like that tho
I'm so used to this display of it that i CANT use the normal rogue WAs / profiles
I just make my own custom layout personally
what in the world is that wa
thing

I already said my reasons, don't hate :c
i didn't say anything
THAT EMOTE SPOKE MILLIONSSS

@balmy condor cold blood goes better with envenom or hold 15 seconds with kingsbane?

"big dmg"
It's still a big bonk
do i want more vers than before prepatch?
probably about the same stat spread as before
imagine getting your CB KB parried 
OOF
ok so... my actual stats are looking like:
Crit: 51,96% (7.865)
Haste: 19,44% (3.397)
Mastery: 101,08% (10.446)
Vers: 11,65% (2.406)
I feel like... thats a little bit off 😄
did you sim it?
nah thats what i got with my gear after patch
The more you have of a stat, the less desired it gets, and by consequence, the other's will gain value, until this repeats itself.
AkA just sim your gear and swap whatever gear the sims say
cold blood gets macro'd to fok/mutilate
Hmmmm.... And how about envenom? Shouldn't bigger envenom = bigger blast and splatter?
combo points goes brrrt
Aah I see
if you want to cold blood envenom so bad play fatebound and take the node
and then again macro it to mut and fok
cause you're still wanting it to cast on cooldown

what if i macro it to shiv and play ttb 
miss too many casts
what if i dont macro it but just track it and use it on either mutilates, fok or envenoms?

what if i just use a good talent
If i dont spec kingsbane i could hold my ttb shivs for cold bloods 
cooking
Guys I am getting more energy starved in this pre-patch compared to before. Now I have to pool more often
Anyone experiencing the same?

Shouldnt be much more starved
Haste barely does anything
Haste expansion?
And haste doesnt really impact it a whole lot
@spice surge any suggestions?
Suggestions for what
I mean imo you have to pool less than in s3/4
Haste and energy, what a duo
with ER
there is no pooling anymore

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
If you legit just spam, you'll run out of energy eventually
ER is literally fine of a talent
albeit its boring
Too much of a button bloat in M+
@spice surge any suggestions?
good suggestion
None of the rogue specs have that many buttons
without macros
