Well before they changed it this week it had no passive stats and the on-use was 4 times as strong 
That was a good trinket, now its mediocre just like all the other trinkets
It also has a 1.5 second cast which is annoying
But you can use it off-gcd so its not that bad
@balmy condor #wowheadnews message
Yeah those were hotfixed in on the 25th
you can watch his video on it tommy, you'll see what happiness looks like
For reference when it says “hotfixed” and “have been pushed”
It’s already active by the time that post goes live
If they weren’t active it would be “upcoming tuning” or “next reset” or something
That’s usually the terms that get used for those situations
hotfixes are instant
Bigger tuning changes for reset
wow
i learn the blizz/wowhead language today
any talent trees for beta raiding?
pins
from Wowhead himself no less
truly a glorious day
a celebrity
The pins + your favorite hero talent
John Assassination... Johnny Sins? 
Don’t tell them my secret
ass master but not the rogue kind
True
question
if death mark is down
i’m only using thistle tea once for 1MIN cds
right?
yes
Getting in assassination again and damn is it overwhelming in m+ sometimes
any tips for keeping track of bleeds in big groups?
WA's are probably the best way
okie
I think most standard WA's will show a little number above rupture, garrote etc to show how many ads have the bleeds on them but there's also nameplates for it
yeh big packs I'm looking at nameplates
weakauras to track scent stacks
rest doesn't matter much
energy I do by feel
i have a hard time with energy management, it feels like i have to actually management with this spec
thats probably due to needing constant bleed on all targets and timing thistle teas well
managing energy is a core part of the spec yes
so i did like
2.7mil on dragon pack after frog boss in halls
i feel like i’m still having a hard time using thistle tea on the last 6 seconds of kb
well, good news is that in less than a month, you won't have to
well
even now you don't
but I get the habit
hm yeah it will take some time
yeah my mage talents were reset,can confirm
just cast it with shiv if you need energy
since we don't cast it on the last 6 of kb anymore
get used to it now
would it make sense to macro the prime 3 being dm/shiv/kb and play with trinkets when needed or just macro trinkets and such with dm and keybind the rest?
you can't macro gcds together
so that's already cooked
but trinket with dm is usually a good idea
ofc thanks for the reminder. that was not well thought trough
currently I have everything worked in dm and I find I just focus on maintaining garrote and rupture more and I get by
still having to adjust not having dance
so at times when I forget everything gets REALLY slow 😛
yep thanks for the reminder. just did a few m+ yesterday and now I am working through the wowhead wall of text for pre-patch rotationals so I can adjust and muscle memory from there. Thanks for going deep there @balmy condor
that’s a good way to put it

still assass is not really in a bad place I found
np
wdym, that's just the logic
did 1 dungeon aside a warrior but he went out there but thats the only one
cast tea during shiv, if you don't overcap energy
no gameplay around it
we don't vanish last 3 of kb, don't tea last 6 of kb
tea is now with shiv
some pulls that becomes tricky especially when you have a lot of bleeds out during the opener
and master assassin just exists

well in aoe obviously you can just slam the tea
you dont want to overcap tea charges
true I tend to be too preservative though. my learning curve
so macro shiv/tea is dps loss
yes
what
Or maybe because of the... nerf
that has nothing to do with it
my other main is resto druid so I tend to react to the situation more then working for top meters in m+
Isnt supposed KB initial hit to still be storng
works against me at times
KB stacks where nerfed
Yeah no
if you macro tea to shiv
you actually are doing MORE kb damage
cause you're just slamming teas during kb
when you probably shouldn't be
morf probably isnt aware of the KB changes
We used to play around KB window
i’m living a lie
we still cover the entirety of KB with 2 shivs aight?
having to react more to the situation feels better though. before it was just very formulaic. reminds me of doing spine during realm firsts where subt was VERY formulaic
or we dont
yes ofc

ty
what else would you do with shiv
envenom
well yeah
but why shiv for envenom
when you can shiv for envenom AND kingsbane
yeah exactly why i had my 2nd thoughts,u cna just have both
I think when you go for spatter and have enough energy tier does the rest with the chaining and works well right or am I wrong
after bleeds and such are done
assuming bleeds are spread and then you go for the kb moment
think neltharion the first packs pulled together are a good example. just wait till tank pulls the lot and go
ye
my gear isnt great 519ilvl but I still managed 1.5mil on that pull
bleed some stuff
pick the biggest mfer in the pack
mut him
and then send cds
then afk till next pack
just distraught at the moment where I need 5 dungeons per night and invites are slow as fuck
to upgrade
que ur own keys
pugging is so slow
haha
how come the cleave build isn´t recommended in the pins? does it play bad or something?
unless ur fotm 200 score above the key level
well maybe some here know what mean. you play but your guild is on holiday
cause its shit in keys under 14-15
so you log and maybe 2 others are online
with prepatch tuning its probably even higher than that
you prob need to do like a 17-18 for it to really work better than the other builds
ahh! right, gotcha! ty mate
shit die too fast etc
putting all your eggs into a kingsbane that kills mobs in 1/3rd of its duration
is not the move
pretty much
id say ruby is the only key where cleave works even on lower lvls
since there is always a mob for kb
well maybe a stupid question I saw a few rogues not going for Echoing R but have "without a trace" running m+
idiots
the extra vanish needs time to run its course right so you might only benefit 1 or 2 depending on the dungeon
I actually cannot fathom how any respectable rogue who knows anything about this game
can possibly run that talent
with a straight face
I saw kush do some testing on dummies with it
on beta
pretty sure he was memeing around though
only 2 vanishes taking RLP for example still is bad.
we envenoms with 5 cp now?
yeah I mean vanish is basically on cooldown the whole dungeon
not 4 no more
yes
might be people looking at the talent and not the duration of the window
I mean you'd have to be actually stupid to not see how terrible that whole column of talents is
how many beers in are you atm Whisp?
The only excuse to run that is "i know its a dps loss but i like having the extra silence available sometime"
Which is sketchy
soothing darkness -> does nothing
subterfuge -> does nothing
subterfuge 2 -> does nothing
without a trace -> at most 3, usually 2, sometimes 1 extra vanish casts in a dungeon
But an argument atleast
ER is at best good extra combos to keep bleeds rolling when indiscriminate carnage is not up
4 points for two extra vanishes in 40 minutes
I guess
stone cold sober I wish I was drunk
subterfuge with the 6 secs feels like a dummy talent to be changed
but I might be stupid
seeing high ranking assa rogues run without a trace makes me want to just chug everclear from the bottle
it's actually crazy how we're still doing this
lmfao
I'm out of anger at this point I'm just impressed
still feels rogues are the playroom spec
that said we have nothing to complain about baseline tbh (been around since 2005)
i somewhat get it or seemed to maybe get it. Zero does it because it seemed like his garrote silences were in their aoe stop rotation so his vanish was legit only used for there
yeah and then he double vanishes first pack of the dungeon and never gets a second charge back cause he's always casting it basically on cooldown
And the thing is at the level they're at, there aren't many others that are willing to run ER/lethality instead, they all just copy each other, and they won't listen to anyone else unless they're at their io level
super pog
look im not the smartest tool in the shed
cuz rogues are the pinnacle spec for creative people and in the end it feels great to be welcome in a team and still do your thing
you can pull up his logs, it's legit just double vanish pack 1
and then he doesn't get another extra cast
I cannot explain it
the worse part was where i saw that he played shadowheart
(not sure if he still does)
my brain simply does not function like his
Maybe that one extra round of iron wire silences is what makes the pull doable, without it pull is impossible
the first pull of every dungeon?
yes
now we have this 15 years ago it was Aldriana's sheets 😛
where were you when i was trying to convince people of this the other night
I would hope we didn't need like 20 seconds of straight aoe silence to complete the first pull of every key
I feel like someone mentioning shadow dance and restealths rn would make whispyr really happy
And takers?
bro I'm so over it
I've been screaming about restealths and vanish and dance for the better part of a DECADE at this point
and they refuse to fucking listen
it's not on me anymore
bro this guy was actually saying he'd sit on the vanish charge so he could have both for certain packs
!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
I think what Whispyr is saying "do not ever forget your bleeds"
literally 4 minutes without a vanish
do people ever vanish from here bro? if so anything epic people remember?
good times 🙂
God I wish I would vanish
I just did in RL... just call my toilet (911-rogue
yeye exactly that pull every time
That’s the spirit, can’t fix what doesn’t want to be fixed
Feelycraft > facts
my toilet needs replacement anyways ... its like shadowdance ... (basically what I did there)
that said my role I feel still remains interrupts whenever wherever and I think it helps in m+
this is 16 vanish casts in 31 minutes
imagine 1 moree
I mean they got their +1
and they got their double ups
this is literally the best possible
without a trace doesn't get any better than this
does this look like it made a difference
Rogues are the best teamplayers. if not front dps then behind the screens keeping the team safe
man that spatter
Steelman picture of WaT usage
that's with a bleed build btw
this is the breakdown from the first sbs hybrid I could find
you're gonna tell me 15.5% of your damage is bleeds
and you give a shit about restealths and +1 vanish charge for 4 points?
get out
M+ players are not human
Yuck at those rupture numbers. Please buff.
Obviously, would a human ever enjoy keys
I love spending four points just for an extra vanish over an entire dungeon though…
Theyre just experimenting 🙃
rupture is up but shit is dying quicker
yeah they're just experimenting in every key they've played since prepatch
surely

the rupture is only energy
Heya, wich buff is better with cuel dreamcarver ? Giant ?
!dagger
speed
typically speed from dragon
but yeh it's kinda all whatever
rupture is gasoline and the mutilate plus the rest made it so
so i the guide thoroughly and i’ve made some improvements to my keybinds
thank u 🙏🏻

glad to help
ONE WHOLE VANISH 4 WHOLE POINTS 
I was so heated on thursday, I gotta relax
People really fucking hate ER man god damn
Sometimes its everyone tbh, season 3 dust sub i couldnt convince people to not use 2 on-use trinkets either.
Simc and just straightup math on a log all showed it wasnt worth
I mean you can play ER too
and get double lethality
Yet everybody was like "but top logs are doing it so it must be correct"
Cant win
you're telling me people acc played 2x on use in keys? bruh
yeh sorry eleem math is fake
told me that having an on use with every one of my cooldowns is better aight?
Was about to say "tell that to all the WaT players" but the whole point of this is you already have are and will
math only exists when it fits into my worldview
we some masochists or something
also I swear branch or ember + pip's was cracked
pips was great
pips is good
holy shit it happened
act 8 I finally found a usable 4 link
I'm gaming
Dude, I found 3 6L's in A7. All just randomly dropped off one mob
yeh
archnem is cool
I haven't found a gggr until now
this is a dex/str 1h sword
1 chrome and it went double blue
fuck this game man
Yep, and obviously im paid by big sim to lie to you
yeh

we do all this math for free just to mislead hundreds of rogues
could you believe it
guys i’m gonna be honest
rogue doesn’t feel that bad
like if they fix death stalker
we could be a threat
correct
remember they keep the real math in their secret discord
the numbers were never a concern
fatebound has 0 gameplay and deathstalker has -0.5 gameplay
that's the problem
Guys I'm going to be honest, I was an ass the other night and told my tank to give me time to stealth between pulls. Forgive me.
What's wrong with deathstalker, is there any resources I can read/watch about it? Considering maining assassination rogue in TWW
one moment
look the only numbers that im concerned with is that you are legit simming fok in ST and that it might end up happening
Theres nothing thats really right with deathstalker, its just a bunch of unrelated passives hobbled together for the most part
that happening would be very funny...in a very sad way
"one moment" 
LMFAO
UR kidding RIGHT

yap, imagine if fire mages had to flame pillar thingy in ST, they would go crazy about it and blizzard would change it in a few days
I don't know anything about rogue since Shadowlands
well u missed the fun times
deathstalky is very bugged and requires you to forget you are able to AOE
I hope this is the right place to ask
and the opener requires ambush everytime
Just let whispyr cook
It is, youre getting an essay, just hold on
god i hate ambush
Prepare your reading glasses
ur about to hear about deathstalky
another whispyr masterpiece on the horizon
u have opened a can of sanguini
one moment for him probably means he's about to write a 20 page essay
I like reading
btw if you need info about assa i would look into whispyrs youtube channel. He covered pretty much everything you would need to know about assa (besides pvp, but who does pvp)
reading is good
Same name on Youtube? or somewhere else?
it’s ok i bother whispyr daily about things i’ve asked him 10 times already
yap same
don’t feel so bayud


sorry royal, you do it for tmog ik 

is it still hundreds
me waiting for essay 
MMO PVP is a meme anyway, just go play a different game
Wow pvp is pretty good
when u dont encounter it, that is
Sure
i mean i gave it a try quite a few times and i never found it enjoyable at all
its probably me tho
Every time I try pvp I feel like I need to spend 2 hours researching all class combos and my own reactions to them (I ain't doing that shit)
I pretty much only did pvp today
That’s actually a valid concern about wow pvp
I've never liked mmo pvp but I have trouble articulating why exactly
just doesn't feel fun mostly lol
@static kindle you’ve come to the right place
everyone here has made me better at this class
very engaging compared to the lock disc
lol
I mean until you understand what you're doing in pvp, you're most likely just having a floor PoV
whispyr is still
this is too real
so is deathstalker or fatebound looking better for M+
with these deathstalker buffs
I've done fine in like average level arenas but I think gcd-based combat feels bad for me outside of pve
deathstalker in m+ only if you like stepping on lego barefoot
Someone asked why deathstalker was bad, so he's writing a dissertation
I used to play shadow priest and that discord is only so-so
my main gaming hobby is street fighter tho so maybe I just find mmo pvp too slow
(I like dot specs)
i think the biggest turnoff for me in pvp is the amount of abilities in like 1 single spec
That might be it. I sometimes have to pvp in ff14 and I wanna throw up now
in league as example everyone has 4 abilities and done, in wow everyone has 20 abilities
ff14 combat put me the fuck to SLEEP man idk how anyone plays that game
If you're under level 70 I can understand
Someone has 10, some shapeshifters have 6/7
But yeah x)
okay there are special cases
Just depends on the MMO for me. Not interested in wow pvp, but I loved it in games like archeage and aion
same, and I'm really liking aff lock rn despite prepatch jankiness. but if you ask the warlock discord aff is actually so bad that you're actively causing yourself physical pain and ruining your life for logging into a warlock
100%, just memeing you 😉
Sounds like some of this discord too tbf
isnt the aff community like always saying its the worst spec in the game and unplayable and noone even trys looking into it?
it can create a lot of mindgames, rock paper scissors type situations where you work to force favourable trades of cds then eventually you will win by having a "go" on someone who's had their trinket and major defensives forced already while ccing heal

these two are older on the original talent tree, the mutilate node got removed since and replaced with a passive
That's caught up here with patch notes:

and if you don't want to consume all that content that's okay neither do I and I'm the one making it. TLDR (the too long don't read) is that the mark application sucks and it can brick on you if a boss disappears for example in m+ it happens on the first boss of mists, the tree guy goes friendly for the intermission, if you have a mark on him and he goes friendly he removes all debuffs and you're shit out of luck. Same issue with the 3rd boss in necrotic wake, he jumps up on his platform, if you have a mark it poofs. So you gotta sit there and hold vanish to reapply, or you have to sit there with the capstone, not using the capstone, not having uptime on stuff. The tree itself wants you to have uptime on the mark because of hunt them down (which cranks a lot), and because more uptime means more marks to consume which means more mutilate damage and more capstones which is more energy and more envenom which is more everything you get the point. But then you gotta sit on that shit for some reason to make sure you can even apply the debuff. So you're just babysitting this mark the entire time, not because of the gameplay of finish-finish-finish-BIG FINISH, but because at any point in time you could possibly fuck it up with no recovery for 2 minutes. It's insanely cringe. On top of that the fok node is almost making fok used in single target (it's barely not good enough), auto attack damage is just omegalul, lingering darkness gives damage after cds and we were outspoken that it's the worst tier set from dragonflight and they added it in anyways. On top of that especially in mythic+ the tree doesn't do shit for damage, I added up all the actual tangible sources of damage over 6-7 beta keys and the actual damage sources were around 7%, 3% of which was babysitting the fucking mark for 40 minutes like a hawk. Most of the power is in the capstone with big envenom and extra energy, but guess what, gotta babysit the mark for that! It's buffing basically every ability in our kit, has no direction, no thematic through line, no visuals, and what little through line there is with babysitting the mark ends up being a mental battle with your own patience and attention to detail to make sure you can get your 3-4% dps off. All of that being said, if you're just hitting a single target boss in raid and don't need to ever target swap or the boss never has an intermission, it's actually quite good and decent fun
at its best wow pvp is incredible, at it's worst it's awful
God damn
Oh lawdy it’s here
It's here
yay
yeah it's pretty funny
Let me put on my reading glasses for this one
So tempted to pin it
I think it's gonna be Fine in tww once hero talents all come into play. I don't need it to be top 1 if it's fun I'm just a KSM guy not trying to get all the portals or raid mythic
aff that is
aff perhaps, deathstalker is very very very cringe in multitarget
there needs to be a better way for us to apply mark
thats a long moment
your gf never complained
the change to capstone on target death did stop it being 100% unplayable, but it's still annoying
Damn, so if they made the Deathstalker mark count as being consumed when an intermission happens, would that make it better/not as bad?
@spice spire can you confirm?
so is there a viable alternative to deathstalker? or is it still just best choice despite the garbage?
it would be better yes
the viable alternative is fatebound
I think at the end of the day for deathstalker
half the tree just gotta go
and they gotta rethink the mark from the ground up
No way the devs make that happen before launch
like if the solution to every mark problem is just "give the capstone"
we're cooked
ofc not
but 11.1 or something
11.2 rework gonna be great
at this point deathstalker is being held together with spit and hair because they're duct taping every situation where the mark sucks with "oh well if the mark sucks just give the capstone then"
which like
I get
but that cant be the solution
I'm more than glad that they're giving us the capstone on dying targets
that's great
100%
fantastic
love it
but that can't be the solution man
and now we got intermissions bricking the tree
and the natural solution is just "give the capstone again"
well why the fuck am I even applying the debuff at this point
dang love the work ur putting in for us, every time i check disc theres so much info, thanks
could just be a buff on ourselves
yes, actually
if they deleted the mark
and just said "every 4th envenom does big fuck and give energy"
tree would be fixed
overnight
I like big fuck
not convoluted enough sry
and I wouldn't feel cucked talenting into it
like why the fuck do we need a debuff that has stacks and deals damage when you spend cp and then buffs the next mutilate
overengineered to shit
wouldnt that just be pretty much fatebound but a different color? passive dmg but at different places
isn't that what deathstalker already is
Well its a tree assassination shares with subtlety, so it has to be convulated
Thats just the rules for sub
deathstalker is just the trickster debuff, with a couple of chromosomes removed, and then taped onto a tree full of passives
I mean
that's just fatebound with extra steps
Sin cursed to share trees with outlaw and sub
and the extra steps suck shit
so get rid of the extra steps
I'd rather have 2 fatebounds in different colors
than 1 fatebound and 1 "dear got I wish I could play fatebound"
But think of the pogging you can do with a big envenom crit
how much of a dps loss is fatebound? Could we just lose 1-3% and say fuck it?
they managed to make a tree that is so garbage that people think "god, please let the coinflip be good"
so that's why trickster is so scuffed for outlaw then? 

i can see this happening even if its a 5% loss

hell i would do it even if its 10% at the current state
Partly, but msot of that jank is because they just removed the feint actiavation and then forgot the tree existed
people are dropping ER to play double vanish
Instead of fixing stuff that didnt work
Fuck that
Just play CB
ER master race
work complete
isn't ER just use on cd and press button if you are on the right combo point?
think it's 5% atm but who knows what it'll actually be in the end
yes
ER doesn't seem very difficult
because it is easy, its just some hate that i will never get
when people tell me dance was more interactive
i get confused
I have no regrets
obviously we won't know for a bit about eventual tuning but I have to wonder if the 5% loss practically disappears in situations like those boss intermissions
cause I'm always correct
With a name like that you have to be
I mean you can anticipate most of them with good play to be fair
but I'm just picking up the spec so I don't claim to know what I'm talking about
How much are you thinking about what abilities to press to be on the correct combo point for ER? Is it super gamey, or do you just use it if you rng into it?
so if you're good at the game
and you know what's going on
it's probably like -1%
This is junk. You literally macrod and forgot about it pretty much.
which hero talents are more "fun"?
but my issue isn't how the 99 parsers are going to play
cause you could feed 99 parsers absolute slop and they'd play it
right
you have 45 seconds to land on the 3 points. Its gonna happen in those 45 seconds even if you dont try
I'm worried for the heroic raiders that don't know the timings
game shouldnt be designed around 99 parsers
they're the ones getting fucked over
schnauze
dont have beta but from looking at it id say fatebound, because i dont have to interact with deathstalker marks
sorry I'll be more sensitive to their needs
Sorry for the interruption 🙈
Is this how assa looks now? The bleeds are heavy 😅
Sorry, its german, but you know the icons 😜
yeh looks reasonable
sometimes it should be
half of assa is german anyways so alls good
Heavy bleeds
HUH
halts maul fickser
Lol

Oh, i didn't do the DM, the person who made the list did
that's because the regen is slow and you're supposed to use the max to manage it
running out of eneregy is part of rogue
otherwhise, why would energy exist
what if i get more haste? 
shut up

I agree remove energy

Is the new race gonna be bis for rogue dps?
Is it looking like echoing reprimand for TWW?
yes
Racials are generally not very impactful in terms of dps, but i very much doubt it, the racial bonus looks not great
Well fed +a dps attack?
Yes thats their racials
The well fed isnt a dps gain in most cases and the extra spell is awful
So 
Is night elf for restealth in m+ worth it mr whispyr?
I think racials should be deleted …or u could do some q and choose them like backgrounds in DnD …..I hate it that every roq is dwarf or n811 just cause the racials where used in some 30+ keys
Im gonna hit filter
I was going to ask about races. I'm currently a Gnome but I'm Goblin curious.
I know DPS isn't really impacted. I'm more of the mind that transmog and animations are more important.
The envenom animation on night elf is so unbelievably smooth
But the stealth animation sucks
Preface: Racials have a very low impact on your damage and if you care about how your character looks at all you should choose what looks the best to you
If you dont care orc seems good, dwarf is good for dispels in keys but a bit of a loss compared to orc and nelf sometimes lets you stealth in keys which isnt as impactful as you might think at first glance
uh
mr swede
it can't be a preface if the convo is already happening
would be a postface

madge cause you didn't take a podium at the olympics today
bozo
5th place in the womens relay
4th place in the butterfly
actually washed country
I always watch a little

very fun
getting to watch people go fast as fuck
it's like m+ irl but better
Infinitely better
irl TGP
If you dont watch your tone ill cook up some more cursed builds
getting rid of imp garrote is blessed
JOKES ON YOU
IM INTO THAT SHIT
Thrown precision and fok on singletarget
RIP the talking cat 
STOP
Hammer time?
Not being able to get MA without imp garrote kinda sucks though ngl 
where's that meme with the brain "are you sleeping" "yes" "what if 1/2 VV and thrown precision" 
Bro if they fix all the VV interactions the nature part of ambush could be hitting like 1.5M
Builder gameplay pog
pog
Does anyone know if the misdirect WA has been updated? Mines stopped working
Thanks
Are you getting any LUA errors from it? I can see an immediate problem but I don't know if that's the whole problem
Night elf might be goated for a different reason, deaths in TWW are 15s off the timer. I know restealthing is a meme or something
a dumb question im sure but i dont understand why we need verst at all as assa (apart from tankyness) as almost all of our dmg are bleeds and poisons, why don't we just stack mast ?
DR I suppose
It’s a flat damage increase
for everything
I don’t get why people undermine vers but praise haste so much
When both do the same thing effectively
numbers go up
doesn't mast give much for the score ?
what is the treshold for the dr to start ?
mastery gives an increase to poisons and bleeds
vers gives an increase to everything
and then mastery is specific to each class afaik
idk if it's just DR, but that would be my first thing to think about
Crit is the only I ever notice
And vers for DR
Yea if seal fate didn't exist I would not know besides vers
ok thx dude 🙂
but bleeds and poisons are 90% of our dmg right ?
No?
90% is insane
what
i think im confused to what belongs to poisons in our natures dmgs
and trinkets/cantrips
are we counting envenom here?
ah
we were specifically talking about mastery
i wasn't that insane ^^
I read bleeds and poisons
smh my head
thought we were talking dots
ah no sorry
yea
I feel people dont realize
a flat increase also in turn
buffs your things already buffed by mastery
I mean everything is a multiplier yeh
so thats why we need verst too ? to multiply mast ?
but why isn't stack mast the better ?
and more things are better
because DR and other stats being good as well
if you have 100% mastery, which is basically a full stack, you could realistically also get 70% mastery, 20% haste, 10% vers, 20% crit because of DRs
so instead of doing 100 damage +100% = 200 damage
you're doing 100 damage + 70% + 20% + 10% + 20% = 270 damage
no
yes i understand DR
agi and secondary atm are pretty close
ok if its that thats work for me thx ^^
I mean none of this is important in any way
it's literally just a sim question
there is no chance you're ever doing this math in your head ever
have to factor in extra seal fate procs from crit and energy from haste increasing ticks and all sorts of shit
just isn't even remotely worth it
don't get me started on partial ticks lmao that'll make your head explode
is wafting better than sophic?
yes
agi > haste, but wafting is like 1200 haste vs sophic being like 700 agi
and that's not agi > haste
that's bigger number > smaller number
Bigger number 
Smaller number 
decades of work of millions of people across the planet compiling data and analysis to come to the most important conclusion of them all
yeah insane theorycrafting from ya boy
been doing this for 6 years

I'm like master oogway in this bitch
am sorry I did not realize haste was that close to agi
it's fine, it changes for every character and especially with patches
at the start of an expac, agi is like easily gapping every secondary by a mile
and then by the end they're basically neck and neck
It doesnt really seem to be like that in tww though
Its all very strange
that's cause blizzard math is funny yeh
whispy
their secondary to stat ratio is much more lenient than it was in dragonflight I think
Gems, enchants, tier sets and trinkets all seem purposefully undertuned compared to what im used to
don't think it's worth it
Idk seems odd
did they nerf the weapon enchant
that shit looked bonkers
Yes
unlucky
They slashed the agi by like 10
I don't have the mental capacity to keep up with consumable and trinket tuning man I'm just gonna top gear it a week before release anyway 
Well ye it definitely seems very unfinished
The blue weapon enchants are worse than DF enchants for example
ye
Just random side point on enchants I just happened to log in and check profession stuff like an hour ago
and the profession tool enchant numbers were like, triple what they were earlier
the numerical values
don't know if there was an overall numbers change on enchants that went through but may be worth looking at the weapon enchants again
but muh watuh balls
Oh it seems like they mightve buffed em on the live client but not the beta one
it's crazy how apathetic tww has made me towards theorycrafting
like it's just such a massive mess
I cba doing shit
Wowhead data says the enchant gives 11487 vers if i have it on live but 910 vers if its on the beta
just in case anyone else didn't know
Although 11k seems a bit much, idk
I could go to bed right now and wake up
and we're pressing fok in single target

why live
The one that sims higher
wafting
usually
true
2x wafting on live yes
didn't we used to have something else like that

huh
she's talking about blindside
I am confused
she's talking about having to press ambush separately
Just came home from a party and unluckily decided to open #assassination
and I'm making fun of you for your lack of english comprehension
aight bro is fully lost
bro
If you want another similar good one look up anhedonia
english not my main language :(
I still don't know
unless we still talking about this
which was like 20 messages prior
I blame you
my parents blame me too
the whole thing just means you're depressed and your orgasms suck
yes
we both as cooked then
It means if you typically look forward to jorkin it even if you're depressed about anything else, but instead you decided "meh" and instead sit and stare at a wall for hours and do literally nothing else because nothing else seems worth it
Good
what if I stare at a wall for hours and do literally nothing else because nothing else seems worth it just as a default state of being
so this is not normal then?
^
Then you don't need to read these words you know it already 🫂
what if I'm jorkin it and the smell can only be described as "papa johns garlic butter"
but instead of staring at a wall I just play osu for 10 hours in a row until my hand hurts
is that normal
because it is easy to open and just play without thinking

osu is fr the goat
listen to music while having to focus just enough to not be able to think about life but not enough to where you get tired of it
any good sin guides for pre patch? videos i mean
Whispyr has a YouTube series I think
thanks!
I just have two talent discussion vids for prepatch
one for m+ one for raid
but all the guides from 10.2 are still accurate aside from master assassin vanishing the last 3, that's not a thing
and tea on the last 6 of kb
that's also not a thing
everything else is the same
why
it gets really fuzzy real quick
no?
because when you are a rogue player
Historically, between assassin and sub, which one has been better for m+ dungeons?
sub for as long as I have knowledge
by quite a lot
can just look at raider.io and see how high ranked each spec has been
yeh sub historically better
does anyone enjoy sub still
Ty guys
it’s rotation seems simple just a bunch of big CDs
it just seems like a non-fun spec
I have always thought that, but then a lot of people like it
It's just different
Like how assa is one of the most unpopular specs, only gaining popularity when it was op after rework
and even then was less popular than outlaw
tbh
but we love it
s2 was the only sin I have played where I was kinda meh in raid
i was not good still not good
it felt so empty after s1 and I would never want to go back now
idk sin feels fun now
just takes me a min to get those cds going
i have to watch everyone else’s CDs
so i can play around it
otherwise kingsboing doesn’t do dmg
I can't play any other dps classes now after sin rework, only healers are fun
what?
kingsbane
Yes but what do you mean?
like i’ll be ramping and the mobs die
idk about s4 dungeons
i mean a 12 is still low for sin
but s3 had a lot of good mobs for it to not get obliterated
yea mobs don't survive DM+KB for a long time until like a 20
every goober will blow their load on the mobs next pack
i’m a problem 2 society

well tbh i’m only doing 12s and now that prepatch is out it’s even worse cuz everything dies super fast
so i have to go the “pad bleed build”
as some people say
Doing keys in prepatch for 0 reason 
for fun
I still don't understand how sudden demise is padding
sims don't even take the execute into account
idk how many times people have been suprised by iron wire in my runs
the 10% bleed buff on its own is already really good
warriors complain it’s pad
why
cause they're stupid I guess
