It’ll be like 40 ilvl under the gear you’re getting

Fair enough
Its a pity thou such trinkets are pretty cool, and just completly useless with the new expansion start
even if it was good enough going into tww prog, they'd nerf it so it's not. they don't want people doing that
more recent examples would be them nerfing trinkets tier-to-tier in DF
That's a little different because it's just a tier instead of a whole expansion
That’s not an expansion
also, the rings from s1 getting nerfed to make them less valuable in season 2
ohh ye forgot about that
How is state of assa for raid right now on beta? Is it going to be good enough to not feel down comparing to other class and specs?
It’s fine
Nothing crazy
But tuning is all over the place
Basically not worth mentioning atm
They just buffed some warlock thing by 800%
And they buffed us by almost 20% overall in the last 2ish weeks
So like your guess is as good as anyone else’s
One more is there a moments in fight besides kingsbane where we press envenom immediately after filling combo points or we always wait for enevenom buff ending?
How are we looking compared to Sub?
deathstalker capstone, if you really need the burst, or you have a lot of energy like in aoe
I'm not a pro, but I will do it immediately if I'm high on energy / about to cap, so you can build cp back up for a dot that will probably be close to needing refresh or whatever
See replied message
All the specs will end up fairly close

guys
is there a RLP bug
where healer can't heal you
on first boss
like it's happened to me three times now
and my trinket wasn't working either
i thinkit's after vanishing once on first boss
Sounds like me as healer
there's a weird bug that always happenes to me
it's happened to me three times now where the healer can't heal me
I have a feelling it's a rogue bug I don't know
First I’m hearing of it
pvp or?
Yeah I have no idea
This is not the first time I am hearing that
I have to like leave dungeon, walk back in
i'm just floor pov first boss lol
Every time I think I’ve heard the weirdest bug of this patch another one takes the cake
How to fix my energy bar, so I don't go low after few combos with assa? 
are warcraft logs bugged for you guys
i’m checking my ilevel parses for mythic awakened abberus and it seems wrong
How come you think so
so is Deathstalker just launching in this state or what. its still completely unplayable
No it’s definitely possible
There’s like 10 people playing
we got fate bound
Ilvl parses are a small bracket
So definitely possible
Put on poisons
I've 4 poisons active
I still get low after few mili damage
With all Tea's used
that makes so much sense
Correct
thanks for the clarity
That’s how the spec plays
I mean assa just plays like that
i was like i suck
Alright, atleast I am not doing anything wrong then
Makes my sleep better
I mean you kinda are
That's not goodie
Cause it sounds like you’re not pooling
But it’s like 1.5% dps
So it’s whatever
And it’s changing in tww a bit
To better or worse?
On the other hand, should I buy dagger now for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions or wait until new patch?
Since I am running with some 460 ilvl dagger
New patch makes your bullions worthless
And most of your gear too
Cause it’s the new expac
So idk
Would spend it
Can we use bullions on non leather tmogs now?
on weapon transmogs, no armor pieces afaik
Trinket xmogs
So, how do you guys feel about Rogue pushing higher-level keys in TWW? I'm trying to place the Rogue (Any spec, really) in the list of class priorities when pushing high keys. Yes, ultimately, you can play any class and find success, but let's wait to play that game. Will rogue utility continue to find them a place?
What hero spec does we go as assa now ? Havent tested rouge at all yet.
continue to? rogue utility?
Deathstalker atm, looks like fatebound could be an option.
It’s going to boil down to tuning which we are continuing to see go through rounds.
Continue to find a place in the LFG queue getting declined or ignored
Poggers rogue util
Okay ill play around with it
Got a m+ team. And they are gladly taking my rogue 😂😂 so no pugs
Yes because ur the only mf raiding
Yes you can
Yeah I only play in guild
Pugging is a nightmare I avoid at all costs
Me to
Ye i got 2500 io on the rogue erali on in s4 and havent really touched rogue since went to play uh dk insted 😂
I tried RET Pala today and hell it's doing a lot of damage 
My guild lead has a fuckt work schedule aswell but somehow we allways seem to getting some doungeon done
You played season 4? My condolences
Just had some fun with it went to uh dk and shadow priest insted had some fun there and the larst couple og weeks ive been lvling alts and main cause im kinda sick of looking at the same model 😂
My rogue is Bloodelf and i kinda want a undead or a troll
I DO VERY BAD DAMAGE........ i dont like
can some1 explain to me what this means? they strike an additonal time when seal fate procs?
I did aswell for some time but i lerant to manged my cd and pump hard with kingsbane and now i do good
if they crit they give you +1 cp
Do you do bad damage or do other classes do bonkers damage cause it’s prepatch
so if either hit of mutilate crits, you get +1
if both crit, you still only get +1
if fan of knives crits 1 target, that's +1
if it crits 45 targets, also +1
i know how to play the class
spec*
Hmm well i dont know then
Im not there looking at the rotation and what you are doing ? 😅
varas used to be competing for r1 assa
now look at him
washed up and unable to do damage
this is what happens when you're old

are ya winning
y
rogue on top then
Ya boy back with another dumb question:
BiS Rings are Diurna's Chosen and Seal of Filial Duty
I see Grieftorch as well.
Is Grieftorch the only fire damage to proc rings?
And head enchant
Helm enchat
Derp! Thanks homies
Ahhh good to know! I have 7 Bullions atm. I'll get the 2 trinkets and the Shield one for now.
ashes + grief
Also, beware that weapons are also important in case you dont have them
I got the Dreamcarver and the event dagger for now
yeah dreamcarver is alright
so
seems like we
are looking good
even tho i hate death stalker
we can still go fatebound
yes
those buffs are great
i’m sure whispyr is drinking monster rn
Ashes, grief torch, offhand would be what I would do
I'm not
I could though
considering it atm
Crime
6.30am in Australia Whisp, load up on caffeine
The hero track one, or is there a bullion on?
Also, do not macro Grief to Deathmark right?
Ashes gets macro’d to KB
you want to press your buttons during your cooldowns not stand there and waggle a fire stick
If you can get Nick of time sure but otherwise there’s a bullion off hand or just get a good drop
I’m gonna have to go hard af in S1 running a rogue and an aug for keys
Expansion is over in less than a month, don't force yourselves to farm items that will be obsolete in a few days
Thanks all! You all are super helpful and nice to dummies like me ❤️
spend bullions on transmog
Thanks. Reddit says otherwise
heard, going to be mean next time to balance it out
If you do, I'll start to mention WoWhead backend again 😛 Get you really fired up
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The trick is to NOT participate in any other class discord other than Rogue
I have no idea what happens beyond these borders
The stories are amazing tho
Yeah I just go there for weak auras and basic questions 😂
Aug is far easier then I expected too
The hard part about aug is probably the player and not the class (not memeing)
Pity I’ll barely get use out of it until +12 key lol
A good aug that knows when to pop stuff on your CDS is a god
those that just pop stuff randomly in a key...
Hahahaha yeah exactly
Hopefully I can still main assa for pushing but my tank really wants me on aug and I don’t hate it so
Therefore, i believe the class might be easy, but pushing it to the next level is entirely on the player
Absolutely

Do you think they’ll change the ilvl different from raiding/keys?
Gonna upset a lot of people
real question is do people NEED gear immediately?
answer is not really
2024 people are FOMO addicts
it's an mmorpg this is what we signed up for
asymmetric power based on gear is the definition of FOMO
that mythic endboss item that's really strong is only cool bc it's powerful and hard to get
bullion type aquisition pushes the game towards being more competitive since it's a more level playing field
but blizz won't ever give us that, they know it makes people stop logging in when there's no more carrot
That’s certainly 1 interpretation. I don’t think the mythic enables item is only cool because it’s hard to get
My brain says ilvl go up, damage and healing go up, key level go up
powerful and hard to get
personally as a more competitively minded player I hate rng in loot aquisition
So the gripe is that m+ items are easy to get
and id rather them let us farm full myth track from keys
any racial that pulls ahead? orc/tauren/dwarf?
so I can compete with liquid players gear week 1, but they won't ever do that
If they said something like
you can sim it, if you're doing challenging content one of the more utility / defensive racials (dwarf / nelf) is best
First 4 weeks ilvl gear from mythic raiding is higher, following that mythic+ ilvl gear will match
Yeah dwarf nelf
If you are super minmax
planned on it just not home atm tbh but appreciate it
if you dont absolutely need stoneform / meld to play ur content
id honestly say go for w/e you like the look of
if you give no fucks about aesthetics or defensives then sim awaits
outside of smeld / stonef is there a dps racial ?
in cow we trust
most races have a small dps racial
3% crit and an aoe stun? sign me up
tauren** n dwarf are 2% crit dmg
thank you
Thought cow was 3
nah, they do have extra stam tho :beefy:
chonky boi
thanks for the info btw was trying to make sure that deathmark + idk bloodfury interaction didnt pull ahead or something silly in pve
nah, for the most part
havent pve'd in awhile outside of keys
the only notable stuff is specs with bursty 3 min cds liking troll (unholy before the changes) and specs with a lot of crit chance liking tauren / dwarf (fire / outlaw / frost mage ) though that is more relevant towards the end of an expac
nelf lets you get restealths but they're a bit unreliable
other than that they're all generally very very close (under 1% diff)
The only time you will see more than 2% difference in race is unholy DK and dwarf/tauren for shaman/outlul
hey numbies is numbies even if im dogshit i want the best chance i can
You will play better if you play something u think looks cool
not really how that works
Factual statement
^ you're right
look
from my experience dealing with bad tanks
night elf can kinda restealth in m+
not bosses tho but that’s BIG
2m CD tho
I mean yea
Night elf is also just good for mechanics in m+
Every sinlge top assa rogue is night elf, doesn't mean it matters, just if you REALLY just only care about performance
feels more like a bad tank fix
cuz tanks don’t care about restealth
they literally just run 🏃
To be fair
Given that Rogue is the least played class in the game, it's hard to find one tank that actually understands
Ok nvm
Moroes is sleeping on the job

Nah it’s just you guys
Fuu is already hitting moroes with an hammer
moroes is up tho
was !stealth removed?
!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
maybe this one?
He did say it
Which ones?
interessting
So it drops at 2/6 instead of 1/6?
Saves some crests I guess 😂
15 crests times 14 gear slots is quite the savings yeah
In the case of, obviously, not raiding heroic and not having any other source of Hero gear
Same 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
came in here to do that, lol
Only thing I loot is DN
Same quake, same
What do I do when I'm playing with 2 fury warriors
Do I just cry
Since they murder my everything
:(
Just enjoy the carry and your key getting timed
So I judt cry cool ty
How are we currently using vanish in m+ do we stull use it before kb like dance or how are we using it?
so just use to reapply garrotes like old times
kk cool
boys, might have to transition to alliance =/ started this new echo event stuff, all i see is ally
always wanted to night elf anyways
Warmode off
just dont see enough horde to tag with etc
I mean, unless you're farming the event after the first 10ish minutes where you want to tag the rares and then the final boss
I don't see it being a problem
I do it in war mode and don’t see anyone else
What is DN? 
Darkest night
19 in French
guys if u had to define Assassination with a colour yourself, would it still be red? 
It would be red or green
red, black and green
i know prepatch is not a big deal but out dmg is kind of fat right now

that’s GIG
yeah kind of big boy
crimson WHAT
what?
i was playin g the SBS build too so i could make CT bigger
damn ima practice some m+ CT rotation/sanguin
guys can u remind me the one disadvantage to being a different faction from a friend?
How does SBS make CT bigger?
I don't think you can party up and queue dungeon finder
lethal dose
Also mists of pandaria got faction specific thing
Ok but that is everything not specifically CT
Correct
Ahhh okay, I think once I’m max level I shouldn’t need to queue up for anything with my horde buddy
Probably not the best use of words there
was certainly a choice
gG indeed
Real
ty
dont let whispyr see this
bros gonna go bald
DS tier is his biggest enemy
Deathstalker sucks no matter what they do to it
DS is basically: Mark + set of randomly selected buffs to random shit; Changing the mark is akin to just getting a new hero tree altogether, Deathstalker has to die
kinda troll
Biased as I am, I think its the worst tree in the game, worst than the Oracle tree mini game
thats not the deal with deathstalker though
I'm not trolling at all, its a terrible tree
yeah we have the only tree in the game that is ST specific, how does that make sense
I mean idrc, one talent tree is just gonna be numerically better for st anda oe
Not defending it but like, I don't really care
Why is deathstalker bad on st tho
Idk how ti works
just to be clear, was that question to me? because I wasnt saying it was bad on ST
we never did fam,ppl just dont understand the power hiding behind it
also outlaw still remains bad
lmao
tlaking about the worse tree
in st deathstalker is probably fine as long as it isnt an intermission boss
there was talk of fok in st but that isnt actually the play yet, just a possibility
you have the 7 cp envenom stuff which is a bit annoying
but not game breaking
Just anybody
here we go
Are the AP changes in the indivdual abilities' notes just reflecting the aura buff to rogue abilities or are they seperate changes to the skills themselves, on top of the overall aura buffs?
this feels actually bad
thing is, I dont believe for one second that if Deathstalker reigns on top of ST it will be left as is, its a one trick pony tree that does not have any future
What does this even mean

its a tree fam
this is hate
I mean you can dismiss what I am saying all you want, it remains a fact that that tree is headed to be only really usable in a single scenario, pure ST.
A lot of this game is pure ST, at least in a raiding context
How good its cleave is doesnt really matter when rogues job every expac is just "do st"
The class tends to specialize in that
Idk how bad it is to play in m+ is also a bit overblown
I don't hate it. Honestly it's just a couple of things that I don't specifically like that could be changed.
I do not like casting a mutilate at 6 CP. I do not like the prospect of casting FoK in ST. Both are fixable.
I do not like the fact that
does not work with Mark or Darkest Night. This is also fixable.
There is also the possibility that we now need to hold Shiv for Fatal Intent pop which could be interesting but just as equally could be very intrusitve and frustrating to other CD alignments.
If you changed a couple of those things, I would feel fine to play deathstalker. I'm not looking forward to it, but fixing all or some of those things would raise its profile for me
it has issues like:
- if boss leaves, immunes, removes debuffs etc, you lose mark and its very hard to get it back as sin.
- it promotes a flatter damage profile
- it basically warps your entire gameplay to get as many envenoms out as possible leading to shit like : dropping almost all bleed related talents and taking vicious venoms instead, and like 25% of your damage is just envenoms.
- it has miserable gameplay, with how often you get to 6 cp, then have to mutilate to 7 cp for darkest night. not only it feels bad, its also kinda makes you starved on energy since you have to add one more builder before you finish.
- it breaks all the fun things sin likes, like pooling, chaining etc. this one just makes you hover over 50% energy and maximize envenom uptime
Anyways back to cooking
- the gear that it wants is mostly just crit/haste making it harder to multi spec
"it basically warps your entire gameplay to get as many envenoms out as possible leading to shit like : dropping almost all bleed related talents and taking vicious venoms instead, and like 25% of your damage is just envenoms."

I dont hate this
I think, at least last tier, bleeds were p good for sin
I kinda am down for envenoms to be OP again
AT least for a tier
Just a diff playstyle right
Or like can u explain why it sucks more
my man,what about deathstalker sub now

well theres a few things like its litearlly unplayable on a few bosses in next raid.
its not playable on council
or first boss
its not playable in a few keys
I don't see whats fun about just being an envenom bot
but other than that, idk, the playstyle it had, was not something i enjoyed for sin.
but thats preference.
Fair
It being bad on some fights kinda sucks, but Personally I dont hate mutalating at 6
I get why its icky tho lol
I want to have something better than fatebound, dont get me wrong
deathstalker just aint it 😦
and I'm talking mechanically, fun wise
numbers are obviously whatever
They should just let us apply marks with max combo point Evis at anytime and remove the stealth requirement crap
pretty hard for sin to use max combo evis
You know what I mean

Don’t be a turd
they could just make it so whenever you lost a mark for whatever reason -> you get darkest night
and make darkest night last over a minute.
Yes yes I like
this still doesnt solve the problem of council though. because youre not losing marks there, the boss just leaves and u cant go to it because youre stuck with your color group
that is counter-intuitive to the specs economy coz u spend more than u actually generate,results to starvation..
irrelevant but i think sin will still be ok with spatter and CT buffs
its gonna be the go even for m+
new tier new spec idk
betas up if anyone wants to test it. im in a tft game going 100% 8th
ill check it out after
Sure, But I would argue personally, I think its kinda interesting that theres more of a choice to make with a talent tree than just "this is highest st patchwork raidbots"
Id think it'd be cool if more talent trees worked like that
yes but unfortunately thats not how the game is tuned/designed.
a good example is sub
having a weakness doesnt mean you get to excel when the weakness isnt there
so just because your "best build" is unplayable in a fight, doesnt mean its really good when it is playable
but also, at the end of the day, its a new expansion, new features, we should be excited and looking fortward to them, (like me with trickster sub)
instead of finding ways to not hate them
its time to be toxic 
im looking forward to the 1hr tricks tech 😎
youre lucky scanas not here, he would whoop yo ass
blizz is gonna cap distance on tricks for sure
Have not caught up but just to also mention, one of the things I didn't like before was that mastery didn't effect the plague damage, though that isn't because of gameplay interaction, it's just because it feels like it should. It's poison damage. Sin should conceptually be masters of poison damage, that's the whole thematic point, so when we have something that specifically boosts that, and doesn't interact with this new plague stuff, feels weird. Also though that's a lesser consideration as it's not a gameplay consideration (Which, now mastery does impact it, neato)
I’m still trying to sort out if you actually are excited or if you’ve mentally jumped through enough hoops to convince yourself you’re excited. It’s basically least shit option for me right now, doesn’t mean is good let alone great or exciting. It still need gameplay love to get there.
have you seen scana? i miss him sm
Im excited
i like how trickster plays

I like the new tools it gives sub
are these your colour trial logs?
trickster sub wont be a problematic damage profile at all 
Purple fart in ST. Great gameplay
you think doing 4M dps burst, and cleaving 50% of it is gonna be problematic? 
there would be a very angry raccoon at my door if I ever played in colour lol
he would be heavily armed too
isnt sin still a giga 2 min spec
or has that flattened a bit with the changes
Assa 2, sub cooking to be 1:30
hes coming for you
He’s in LA. Ain’t coming for no one.
racoon mans in LA now/?
yeah but not as much.
like its still a proper 2 min burst spec
but its not like s3 levels of burst, a bit lower
technically it should flatten our dmg profile a tiny bit, lower highs, higher lows (not by a huge margin, just a bit)
Rookie numbers
Cev no longer green my life is in shambles 😿
Same tbh
with the new tuning buffs is sin super chilling?
I feel like people were already saying our numbers were good
then we get 2 back to back buffs which seem big lol
in keys? yea
youre actually like insane
ooo
Does this have anything to do with what happened like 1/2 days ago?
there was another post 4 hours ago
implementating those changes + more
like what sap linked
I just woke up
Deathstalker plague damage got added to sin mastery
the rest is a sum up of the changes from the last couple of weeks
Oh ok ok ok, thanks Armin
That seems big I guess
Back to sleep
DS stonks to the moon
Wait till they figure out what fatal intents supposed to do so we can add it to the sims too!
Gonna be super stonks
they mostly baked the aura buff into the abilities and removed the aura right
thats what i gather
and a bit on top
ye
really nice
the fact this still happens
still cracks me up so fucking much tho
ability never even made it into a full release, was canned in beta already, yet its still in the database and is still affected everytime they do an aura adjustment like this
ye its pretty big
haha i thought the same when i saw it
spaghetti leftovers
It will be added in 11.1
Yeah, will be the new talent in place of doomblade

doomblade is fine, its just undertuned as heck
bringt back the 5% envenom dmg and its feasting
Its an uninteresting talent and bad in aoe nonetheless
well
its a tax node for boner

and boner is omega goated for questing!
soooo it has that going for it which is.... nice?
Idk about that
man I'm so tired of playing kingsbane in keys - and deathmark just overkills anything that isn't a captain
Nodes can still be interesting and kinda go with the trend of the following talents
So?
so it doesn't take any time off the key
dude I'm going to flip
why do they keep fucking changing the talent tree imports
every week
Just play a different build?
Hi hello gm whispyr
Sounds like you are playing cleave
hi
Ok I go to bed now
kingsbane and deathmark are standard in all builds
They wanna keep it fresh
The impact is different and demise works with dm
I'm playing demise
It's that time again
Then its not really an issue unless you play low keys or dm what you shouldnt DM
Tbf
low keys = weekly 10
and holding DM/KB again is just wasting power
would rather have something else
Came back after extensive break, checked outlaw, got depressed. Guys tell me that sin is absolute fire for war within
Solo told me to wait till seris up :((
name one time it's not absolutely
in OL
Low keys at this point is everything below like 14
And holding DM for another pack aint wasting power if the impact is way bigger
I mean sin is pretty good, thats true
And outlaw often is depressing
Is it competent for m+ play?
yeah, it'll be fine
Niceee
I mean it works I just have to fix all my imports
Has everything you need, a tad lower on survivability than the other 2, the rest depends on tuning
how did it work for you? all my imports directly from game were fucked in mimiron
I'll give it some time before deciding to buy sub, low-key glad that rogue is not absolute beast on release as it tends to get triple nerfed shortly after
yeah you don't do imports from game you do them from wowhead bro
Good old DF treatment
game imports are giga fucked
ah i see i see oki oki ty mr whispyr me learning
I mean they are still pumping out adjustments, could still end up that way
op spec gets nerfed 
what
(I don't know the situation about other classes and what happened to them past half a year)
But that shit was crazy in s3
not any crazier than we were
pretty sure we were better in raid, they were better in keys
I'm looking mostly at m+ and I don't remember assa being giga big in there, no?
but they dont tune based on keys
Yeah
Don't get me wrong assa orenerf in s3 was crazy
Loved it
Then I geared that spec and it got nerfed :0
didn't assa take a 6% nerf and fall off the map? IIRC most of that damage was mis-attributed aug damage and being the PI target
and tswifty was an assassination rogue dream

They nerfed blindside and KB and then another nerf on top
assa nerf was around 4% in m+
and had nothing to do with aug
aug hooks got fixed week 2
Forbidden knowledge: you get older every second
also has nothing to do with PI
source?
because they don't tune on PI
and wasn't caustic spatter misattributed that whole tier? let me check
Got passed down in my clan for generations. Its written with blood on a scroll that the patriarch needs to freshen up before he passes the heritage on to the next head. 
hmm
not even the wf guilds played assa for tindral xd
like shrunken head
Sin on tindral was just 
you said guilds
lil plural mistake
😭
my bad
I got traumatized when I had to play sub on smolder
one killed tindral first tho
Quit the game right after the kill
but nah shitposting aside assa like out of the gate was bigly busted but many people me included did say from day 1 that if assa gets nerfed it has 0 impact on rogue because sub was the second best spec in the entire game
Fk that boss and fk sub
if your spec is ever an outlier like that it should always get nerfed
¯_(ツ)_/¯
sometimes it doesnt happen
like fire in nyalotha
sin was crazy since you needed nothing to invest into aoe very fun though
The craziest thing about season 3 was how sub didn’t get nerfed week after week
idd
they allready where at the bottom
get it, cus its name is Sub
i stop
did they only nerf sin specifically cause aug/pi was giga for it
Nerfing for aug would literally be peak brainrot
Do we not pool or wait for envenom to get to 1 sec in aoe?
I thhnk they either felt bad, or it had to do with heroic logs, or player counts or something
cuz yea...
Oversight
but Nerfing Aug is giga based
Real
they just nerfed aug a bunch no?
Hopefully
finally
it still exists, not nerfed enough
it has been dead for m+ many times and still came back
in raid youll still run 2 but i doubt youll see it in m+
holy mother of 
awwww u think that mattered? Dorki was going through some logs from their keys today, aug was sooooo far ahead of the other dps in terms of damage that after a 30% nerf, theyre still ahead
A man can dream, leave the hopes untouched
hope they relax with rogue buffs though, dont want some giga nerf 2 weeks into season 1
They should rather nerf utility/survivability

but still it was rarely the dmg that matter about aug lmao
aug can buff dn
or your healer can heal through this thing that woulda killed u otherwise
I mean you could change values
i mean they did.
they made aug do a lot of its own damage now
instead of a large part of their damage come from buffing others
and now theyre like the best dps in key
s
so u run them cuz theyre blasting
No I mean the values of the tank and heal buffs
Thats kinda fine imo
If they blast they blast
@silk bane are you talking beta or prepatch? prepatch doesnt really matter
beta
Blasting isnt what secured their spot, every spec can blast
as of this second the strongest spec on beta is ret
are there any dungeon in tww that caut is op in
the "fixes" to a certain talent resulted in you having 100% wings uptime
Cauterize?

I think the funniest thing about people saying sin got nerfed because of pi and Aug is that the only reasonable way to think that’s the case would be to also think blizzard isn’t capable of estimating the impact of things
Like the community and TC’s have the numbers for how much PI matters, how much Aug matters, the Aug hooks all got fixed. But for some reason people are like YO IT GOT NERFED CAUSE OF PI BLIZZARD DOESNT KNOW WE GET PI!!!!!! Like please be so for real lmao are you actually so dentbrained to think blizzard isn’t capable of taking 5 minutes out of their day to estimate PI impact, or better yet just look at the vast public theorycrafting? It’s their job
they got a whole team
actual 0 critical thinking
yes
this is kinda a strawman take
as if blizzard is infallable
we still don't have correct aug attribution according to max
and the same thing happened to demo in ............. S1 I think? or maybe it was shadowlands - huge PI value and they get overnerfed
u are drawing lines where they dont need to be drawn
"oh this spec has good pi value and got nerfed must be nerfed because of pi"
the line is simply that blizzard regularly overnerfs and overbuffs classes
"no other possible explanation !"
Seems like you really held back with your wording. 
People grasp whatever it is to hate on something they think isnt right. If blizz would balance stuff bcs they are giga with PI, unholy wouldnt even be close to surviving many of the tiers as they did. Almost all the time they gapped others by a decent amount it was because of PI iirc
Oh okay you’re gonna play a gotcha on a strawman take but then 3 seconds later appeal to authority 
WHY WOULD MAX KNOW WHAT OUR AUG HOOKS ARE LIKE
i will say that their balancing team is also largely clueless and/or disinterested about what goes on in the high end of content
Max isn't talking specifically about assassination
I’m not saying they’re infallible either
I literally said blizzard made a tuning oversight
Not 5 minutes ago
Balance was pretty good these entire tiers for raid brother
But you’d be dumb to think blizzard isn’t capable of taking things into consideration when tuning
They literally have to
That’s how tuning works
of course they're doing their best - and I'm not even saying they're stupid/incompetent/etc
its been ok in DF i certainly wouldnt call it good
It takes near no effort to quickly eyeball how much PI is affecting specs
Its been better than in other expansions imo 
i thought df tuning was p good for everyone
Like the less reasonable conclusion is that the entire balancing team is just looking at the numbers and woefully, ignorantly, just blasting past it
idk why max is used as a source tbh
21th raider MF, not even playing the game
watches his guys do the raid while filling the #21spot and then afk's until the next raid, and people act as if he is the WoW jesus with infinite knowledge about the game 
when was the december rogue nerf, I can't find it
good morning 
are u aware of the deathstalker buff
I'm saying there's literally no way to accurately judge aug power without tooling - and the tooling was deeply flawed right up until the S3 rogue nerf. Kingsbane was nerfed 15% on Dec 5 it looks like
that's the thesis
I made a whole ass video what
for mastery affecting deathmark?
Sounds like hating for the sake of hating rn tbh. Tell me, m+ god comp aside, what wasnt well balanced?
I think its the other way around. blizz made a 4% nerf, people stopped getting PI, their number in deails went down a lot, they thought it was blizz overnerfing
some poopstalker stuff affected by mastery, thats all
I mean I didn’t mention it but who cares
it affects most deathstalker stuff now though 
as in the mastery
Yes that’s how it works
When things get affected by mastery they are affected by mastery
source?
Family clan scroll brother
But like it doesn’t really need to be mentioned does it
oh yea, i forgo
yup ive seen them all
dw jsut sayin'
no panick or anything
wanted to learn if that makes deathstalker even better than before
or its within that .5% range it was mentioned on the vid
(in respect to fatebound)
No clue
I mean all the sims I showed were manual overrides they weren’t actual game data
I had to put in the buffs by hand
So its already inaccurate to some extent to begin with
0.5% here or there isn’t really worth mentioning
basically every raid in the early stages (when it mattered) had massive outliers in either direction (unplayably bad or absolutely busted) and this is talking about just damage or healing and not getting into the mandatory utility aspect we had in at least amirdrassil and vault
Whispyr made fatebound look better because he doesnt want people to mention deathstalker confirmed
when it mattered for who? like 40 people??
no point in balancing the game for .1% of it either
Based
yes which is why blizzard doesnt do it
I actually made fatebound look worse because I left out one or two smaller buff to fatebound cause the spell data was a bit weird and I wasn’t sure exactly what they’d do
Meta exists either way for the top end
So sim sandbagging?
so yea i gues
It does bcs balance = fun
Game needs to be fun
No, sim eyeballing buffs that aren’t in the game yet
but sub didn't get PI so it's fine
Yeah for that one group of people
Imagine the game consists of many classes
With many players
Just kidding 
Think at this point id prefer fatebound to be better until they fix the issues/QoL on deathboi, even if I prefer it
You mean bcs they dont balance pvp differently anyways?
All my homies can't wait to try deathstalker
PvP is a 4 fun game mode. They don’t even include it in vault anymore like pet battles
balancing is compeltely different,design is a 2 part scale,its dynamic
tree applies to the entirety of the game
Didnt do any late beta m+ just to not be biased on release

as much dooming as I do, I think deathstalker is honestly fine like 90% of the time
it's the 10% that REALLY blows
I aint buying that stupid cuckass version

Yeah those 10% kinda do look like an oversight tho
I wish they didn't keep buffing mutilate in the mark tuning
Cant imagine that being what they want it to be
I wish the auto damage wasn't a thing
I wish lingering darkness wasn't a thing
but like
nothing I can do
ah i wanted to ask u about CT and ST though
will that be a thing?
😅
ct as in crimson tempest?
yup
But on the other end, how exciting are fatebound nodes?
CT will never be ST thing since its change to do more per npc hit
Main hero tree mechanic aside, even some of the other classes arent really exciting
Holy fuck they gotta buff it to oblivion
Yes they should
Can't wait to spec FoK and CT talents in sludgefist boss
the thing is, fatebound is a boring passive overall, but the talents are interesting within that right? Like mean streak is "boring" but it fits within the coin, double jeopardy is passive but it's flips from stealth. Like the talents themselves are more interesting because they augment what's already there. Deathstalker doesn't have that
So when will someone make this a gif?
sorry I form coherent, thought out opinions before hitting enter I guess
Yea
Personally I just send the first thing that comes to mind, which is clearly better
I'll use my 125 word per minute to just spew nonstop rot
i just send
no thinking
type on CD
It doesn't even reach the mind 
Bro is never pooling
!pooling
Read About Pooling

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
there you go
outlaw habibi typing
Yeah thats kinda true. Overall some potentially random increases that dont really interact with eachother.
Fact, the passives of deathstalker are very boring, but the mark itself is nice imo
They made VW 8 energy again, I have slightly less time to type
Didnt anyone ever tell you that you are most of the time typing menacingly
2 more dumb messages a minute I heard

Damn the triple ping
quadruple
Wish they would buff Volkswagen energy, shit is dying
Oh shit
We’re on our bullshit tonight for sure
Tonight?
idk I guess so
I haven't slept yet, it's actually over for me
I give it 2 hours before I crash horrendously
Might aswell be because you lately choose to ignore bad takes and triggerwords
And people expect you to react if they see you typing right after

It’s just restealth
I always need to reply, happened so often that people felt attacked because they didnt connect the messages right

Smort
hahahahahahaha
laughed so hard on this

Guys
Remember how we have a talent that gives 2% leech for 1 GCD every 2 minutes?
I just remembered
Never played dnd even once

you are missing big time
Last time someone said that I had to get a notification of illness and stay home for 2 days

Only 2 days?
Well it was food related, nothing broken or anything
wdym stepbrother 2% leech while stealthed is pretty important

I cannot fucking believe that they nerfed that talent btw
That is crazy
I thought it was a placeholder
They nerfed across the board
It's a placeholder joke that went too far
Well tbf if you just nerf everything and buff specific outliers later, its actually a well thought out method that involves less work
