Yeh it’s just bad ilvl

#

It’s max hero track from vault I think

spice surge
#

Well before they changed it this week it had no passive stats and the on-use was 4 times as strong kekman

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

They already nerfed it as well

spice surge
#

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

spice lagoon
balmy condor
#

Yeah those were hotfixed in on the 25th

willow rapids
#

you can watch his video on it tommy, you'll see what happiness looks like

balmy condor
#

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

#

John Assassination... Johnny Sins? monkahmm

balmy condor
runic hinge
#

ass master but not the rogue kind

balmy condor
#

True

errant trail
#

question

#

if death mark is down

#

i’m only using thistle tea once for 1MIN cds

#

right?

static glacier
hardy rapids
#

Getting in assassination again and damn is it overwhelming in m+ sometimes

#

any tips for keeping track of bleeds in big groups?

normal mist
#

WA's are probably the best way

hardy rapids
#

okie

shut canopy
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeh big packs I'm looking at nameplates

#

weakauras to track scent stacks

#

rest doesn't matter much

#

energy I do by feel

hardy rapids
#

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

balmy condor
#

managing energy is a core part of the spec yes

errant trail
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

errant trail
#

hm yeah it will take some time

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

since we don't cast it on the last 6 of kb anymore

#

get used to it now

copper shore
#

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?

balmy condor
#

you can't macro gcds together

#

so that's already cooked

#

but trinket with dm is usually a good idea

copper shore
#

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 😛

balmy condor
#

dance did nothing

#

no adjustment needed

#

just don't garrote after kb

copper shore
#

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

errant trail
balmy condor
copper shore
#

still assass is not really in a bad place I found

balmy condor
#

np

balmy condor
copper shore
#

did 1 dungeon aside a warrior but he went out there but thats the only one

balmy condor
#

cast tea during shiv, if you don't overcap energy

errant trail
#

ok

#

also what about master assass

balmy condor
#

no gameplay around it

#

we don't vanish last 3 of kb, don't tea last 6 of kb

#

tea is now with shiv

copper shore
balmy condor
#

and master assassin just exists

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

you dont want to overcap tea charges

copper shore
errant trail
#

so macro shiv/tea is dps loss

balmy condor
#

yes

errant trail
#

that’s why my kingsbang wasn’t hitting harder

balmy condor
#

what

normal mist
#

Or maybe because of the... nerf

balmy condor
#

that has nothing to do with it

copper shore
#

my other main is resto druid so I tend to react to the situation more then working for top meters in m+

rotund oak
#

Isnt supposed KB initial hit to still be storng

copper shore
#

works against me at times

rotund oak
#

KB stacks where nerfed

errant trail
#

no because if i tea too early

#

i lose some mastery

#

right?

normal mist
#

Yeah no

balmy condor
#

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

normal mist
#

morf probably isnt aware of the KB changes

errant trail
#

i’m getting used to the new shit

#

ye

#

i’m gonna have to fix my brain

normal mist
#

We used to play around KB window

errant trail
#

i’m living a lie

normal mist
#

because BRRRRRRRRRR

#

now KB isnt doing as much dmg due to some changes

balmy condor
#

the only thing you do with KB is shiv

#

that's it

errant trail
#

okay i need to unmacro this

#

asap

#

im depleting

rotund oak
copper shore
#

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

rotund oak
#

or we dont

rotund oak
rotund oak
balmy condor
#

what else would you do with shiv

rotund oak
#

envenom

balmy condor
#

send it and then mut 4x

#

poggers

balmy condor
#

but why shiv for envenom

#

when you can shiv for envenom AND kingsbane

rotund oak
copper shore
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

you get your bleeds spread

#

and then just caustic, cd

#

and go

copper shore
#

think neltharion the first packs pulled together are a good example. just wait till tank pulls the lot and go

balmy condor
#

ye

copper shore
#

my gear isnt great 519ilvl but I still managed 1.5mil on that pull

balmy condor
#

bleed some stuff

#

pick the biggest mfer in the pack

#

mut him

#

and then send cds

#

then afk till next pack

copper shore
#

just distraught at the moment where I need 5 dungeons per night and invites are slow as fuck

#

to upgrade

rotund oak
#

que ur own keys

balmy condor
#

pugging in general is just a miserable experience

#

I don't recommend it to anyone

late surge
#

pugging is so slow

copper shore
#

haha

viral aurora
#

how come the cleave build isn´t recommended in the pins? does it play bad or something?

late surge
#

unless ur fotm 200 score above the key level

copper shore
#

well maybe some here know what mean. you play but your guild is on holiday

clever sapphire
copper shore
#

so you log and maybe 2 others are online

clever sapphire
#

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

viral aurora
#

shit die too fast etc

balmy condor
#

putting all your eggs into a kingsbane that kills mobs in 1/3rd of its duration

#

is not the move

clever sapphire
#

pretty much

#

id say ruby is the only key where cleave works even on lower lvls

#

since there is always a mob for kb

copper shore
#

well maybe a stupid question I saw a few rogues not going for Echoing R but have "without a trace" running m+

balmy condor
#

idiots

copper shore
#

the extra vanish needs time to run its course right so you might only benefit 1 or 2 depending on the dungeon

balmy condor
#

I actually cannot fathom how any respectable rogue who knows anything about this game

#

can possibly run that talent

#

with a straight face

late surge
#

I saw kush do some testing on dummies with it

#

on beta

#

pretty sure he was memeing around though

copper shore
#

only 2 vanishes taking RLP for example still is bad.

errant trail
#

we envenoms with 5 cp now?

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean vanish is basically on cooldown the whole dungeon

errant trail
#

not 4 no more

balmy condor
#

yes

copper shore
#

might be people looking at the talent and not the duration of the window

balmy condor
#

I mean you'd have to be actually stupid to not see how terrible that whole column of talents is

viral aurora
#

how many beers in are you atm Whisp?

spice surge
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

spice surge
#

But an argument atleast

copper shore
#

ER is at best good extra combos to keep bleeds rolling when indiscriminate carnage is not up

balmy condor
#

4 points for two extra vanishes in 40 minutes

copper shore
#

I guess

balmy condor
#

is super fucking omegalul

#

even just taking 2/2 lethality is better

balmy condor
copper shore
#

subterfuge with the 6 secs feels like a dummy talent to be changed

#

but I might be stupid

balmy condor
#

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

haughty flicker
#

lmfao

balmy condor
#

I'm out of anger at this point I'm just impressed

copper shore
#

still feels rogues are the playroom spec

#

that said we have nothing to complain about baseline tbh (been around since 2005)

clever sapphire

super pog

clever sapphire
#

look im not the smartest tool in the shed

copper shore
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

clever sapphire
#

the worse part was where i saw that he played shadowheart dracthyr_kek (not sure if he still does)

balmy condor
#

my brain simply does not function like his

slate crown
#

Maybe that one extra round of iron wire silences is what makes the pull doable, without it pull is impossible

balmy condor
#

the first pull of every dungeon?

haughty flicker
#

yes

copper shore
#

now we have this 15 years ago it was Aldriana's sheets 😛

runic hinge
balmy condor
#

I would hope we didn't need like 20 seconds of straight aoe silence to complete the first pull of every key

strange python
#

I feel like someone mentioning shadow dance and restealths rn would make whispyr really happy

#

And takers?

balmy condor
#

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

runic hinge
late surge
#

!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
copper shore
#

I think what Whispyr is saying "do not ever forget your bleeds"

strange python
#

It was never you whispyr

#

You tried your best

runic hinge
#

literally 4 minutes without a vanish

balmy condor
#

if people want to troll themselves and go "but I have io"

#

then whatever

so be it

my toilet needs replacement anyways ... its like shadowdance ... (basically what I did there)

balmy condor
copper shore
#

that said my role I feel still remains interrupts whenever wherever and I think it helps in m+

balmy condor
#

this is 16 vanish casts in 31 minutes

runic hinge
#

imagine 1 moree

balmy condor
#

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

copper shore
#

Rogues are the best teamplayers. if not front dps then behind the screens keeping the team safe

#

man that spatter

slate crown
balmy condor
#

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

I love spending four points just for an extra vanish over an entire dungeon though…

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

and get double lethality

Yet everybody was like "but top logs are doing it so it must be correct"

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.

these two are older on the original talent tree, the mutilate node got removed since and replaced with a passive

https://youtu.be/yusK9Nw7fNc

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

frail verge

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

static glacier
#

aff perhaps, deathstalker is very very very cringe in multitarget

#

there needs to be a better way for us to apply mark

balmy condor

the moment you're not raidbots 5min 1 target patchwerk

#

deathstalker becomes

balmy condor
static glacier
#

the change to capstone on target death did stop it being 100% unplayable, but it's still annoying

static kindle
#

Damn, so if they made the Deathstalker mark count as being consumed when an intermission happens, would that make it better/not as bad?

royal lantern
frail verge
#

so is there a viable alternative to deathstalker? or is it still just best choice despite the garbage?

balmy condor
#

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

static kindle
#

No way the devs make that happen before launch

balmy condor
#

like if the solution to every mark problem is just "give the capstone"

#

we're cooked

balmy condor
#

but 11.1 or something

haughty flicker
#

11.2 rework gonna be great

balmy condor
#

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

sick sail
#

dang love the work ur putting in for us, every time i check disc theres so much info, thanks

runic hinge
#

could just be a buff on ourselves

balmy condor
#

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

balmy condor

it wouldn't be very exciting

#

or very fun

#

but it would work in every situation

willow rapids
#

not convoluted enough sry

balmy condor
#

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

#

atleast fatebound is not getting close to fok in ST

spice surge
#

Thats just the rules for sub

balmy condor
#

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

haughty flicker
#

Sin cursed to share trees with outlaw and sub

balmy condor
#

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"

spice surge
#

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?

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?

balmy condor

so if you're good at the game

and you know what's going on

it's probably like -1%

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.

static kindle
#

night elf is better thematically imo

#

but void elf is cooler

delicate orbit
#

But the stealth animation sucks

spice surge
#

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

balmy condor
#

uh

#

mr swede

it can't be a preface if the convo is already happening

ancient tangle
#

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 ?

slim hamlet
#

DR I suppose

waxen oyster
#

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

ancient tangle
#

doesn't mast give much for the score ?

ancient tangle
waxen oyster
#

mastery gives an increase to poisons and bleeds

slim hamlet
#

I think this is right

waxen oyster
#

vers gives an increase to everything

slim hamlet
#

and then mastery is specific to each class afaik

waxen oyster
#

Tbh I dont get it

#

No stat really influences gameplay

#

besides crit arguably

slim hamlet
#

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

waxen oyster
#

Yeah more seal fate procs

#

haste and mastery just makes your dots bigger

slim hamlet
#

Yea if seal fate didn't exist I would not know besides vers

ancient tangle
waxen oyster
#

realistically

#

you just sim gear

#

No need to think

ancient tangle
waxen oyster
#

No?

balmy condor
#

90% is insane

slim hamlet
#

like 80?

#

auto attack and mutilate

balmy condor
#

what

ancient tangle
#

i think im confused to what belongs to poisons in our natures dmgs

slim hamlet
#

and trinkets/cantrips

balmy condor
#

are we counting envenom here?

slim hamlet
#

yes?

#

Isn't it affected by mastery

balmy condor
#

oh

#

well then it's like 85%

#

if we're counting all mastery

ancient tangle
#

ah

slim hamlet
#

we were specifically talking about mastery

ancient tangle
#

i wasn't that insane ^^

balmy condor
#

I read bleeds and poisons

slim hamlet
#

smh my head

balmy condor
#

thought we were talking dots

ancient tangle
#

ah no sorry

slim hamlet
#

yea

waxen oyster
#

I feel people dont realize

#

a flat increase also in turn

#

buffs your things already buffed by mastery

balmy condor
#

I mean everything is a multiplier yeh

ancient tangle
#

so thats why we need verst too ? to multiply mast ?

balmy condor
#

that's why item level is good

#

cause you just get more things

ancient tangle
#

but why isn't stack mast the better ?

balmy condor
#

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

waxen oyster
#

Agi is still like

#

2x the value of any secondary isnt it

#

So ilvl>>>>>

balmy condor
#

no

ancient tangle
#

yes i understand DR

balmy condor
#

agi and secondary atm are pretty close

ancient tangle
#

ok if its that thats work for me thx ^^

balmy condor
#

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

waxen oyster
#

^

#

Use top gear

#

dont think

balmy condor
#

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

waxen oyster
#

Am I just better at game if I proc wafting during my cds

static kindle
#

is wafting better than sophic?

balmy condor
#

yes

static kindle
#

oh I'm stupid

#

for some reason I thought sophic was just blanket always better

balmy condor
#

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

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

Its all very strange

that's cause blizzard math is funny yeh

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

slim hamlet
spice surge
#

Oh it seems like they mightve buffed em on the live client but not the beta one

balmy condor
#

it's crazy how apathetic tww has made me towards theorycrafting

like it's just such a massive mess

#

I cba doing shit

spice surge

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

balmy condor

I could go to bed right now and wake up

balmy condor

yes

slim hamlet

we both as cooked then

slate crown

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

slim hamlet

Good

balmy condor

balmy condor

what if I'm jorkin it and the smell can only be described as "papa johns garlic butter"

slim hamlet

but instead of staring at a wall I just play osu for 10 hours in a row until my hand hurts

balmy condor
#

is that normal

slim hamlet
#

because it is easy to open and just play without thinking

slim hamlet
#

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

tall jay
#

Whispyr has a YouTube series I think

limber crystal
balmy condor
#

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

errant trail
#

so

#

if you stare at the wall and do nothing

#

you are gonna get fuzzy eyes

slim hamlet
#

why

errant trail
#

it gets really fuzzy real quick

slim hamlet
#

no?

errant trail
#

because when you are a rogue player

ebon apex
#

Historically, between assassin and sub, which one has been better for m+ dungeons?

slim hamlet
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeh sub historically better

errant trail
#

does anyone enjoy sub still

ebon apex
#

Ty guys

errant trail
#

it’s rotation seems simple just a bunch of big CDs

slim hamlet
#

maybe 3

errant trail
#

it just seems like a non-fun spec

slim hamlet
#

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

errant trail
#

tbh

slim hamlet
#

but we love it

errant trail
#

i enjoyed sin in season 2

#

even tho people will disagree

slim hamlet
#

s2 was the only sin I have played where I was kinda meh in raid

errant trail
#

i was not good still not good

slim hamlet
#

it felt so empty after s1 and I would never want to go back now

errant trail
#

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

slim hamlet
#

I can't play any other dps classes now after sin rework, only healers are fun

slim hamlet
errant trail
#

kingsbane

slim hamlet
#

Yes but what do you mean?

errant trail
#

like i’ll be ramping and the mobs die

slim hamlet
#

so a mob doesnt get oneshot

#

oh, only a problem in lower keys

errant trail
#

because i have a BM hunt

#

and a ret pally

#

just pressing any button

slim hamlet
#

idk about s4 dungeons

errant trail
#

i mean a 12 is still low for sin

slim hamlet
#

but s3 had a lot of good mobs for it to not get obliterated

errant trail
#

like i said

#

i wait for first pull to be over

slim hamlet
#

yea mobs don't survive DM+KB for a long time until like a 20

errant trail
#

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

slim hamlet
#

Doing keys in prepatch for 0 reason pepe_chad

errant trail
#

for fun

slim hamlet
#

Fun in wow?

#

sure bud

#

Sudden Demise does feel good in low keys

errant trail
#

it feels so good because

#

people get mad i’m padd

slim hamlet
#

aint ever seen anyone get mad

#

aint ever seen anyone know any assa ability

balmy condor
#

I still don't understand how sudden demise is padding

#

sims don't even take the execute into account

slim hamlet
#

idk how many times people have been suprised by iron wire in my runs

balmy condor
#

the 10% bleed buff on its own is already really good

errant trail
#

warriors complain it’s pad

slim hamlet
#

why

balmy condor
#

cause they're stupid I guess

slim hamlet
#

what do they miss out on? a single execute

#

mad cuz bad moment

balmy condor
#

touch of death is pad I guess

slim hamlet
#

people do believe that

#

idk if you didn't know
