comes across as a little disingenuous

#

its a value talent that currently doesnt provide enough value for how the spec is played

subtle kiln

It has more defensive value in keys

spice surge
#

Technically yes but not really

vanish just helps refresh that juicy empowered garrote

Idk garrote aint that juicy

And you don’t think calling it a “value talent that doesn’t provide enough value for how the spec is played” is a bit disingenuous?

The whole point is that subterfuge is pointless cause we have 6 seconds baked into all our stuff, and that +1 vanish charge is equally pointless on a spec that casts on cooldown.

Yes it provides no value for how the spec is played, but what kind of argument is that? Deathmark/vendetta have been 2 min, vanish has been 2 min, since the dawn of time itself, the spec has played this way for at least a decade. It’s okay to just admit the talent is utterly pointless you don’t have to jump through weird hypothetical hoops to try and make it sound better

Stealth can break from:

  • Ominous Chromatic Essence trinket on buff gain
  • Voice of the Silent Star when wearing it yourself
  • Misterweaver soothing mist when talented into Unison
  • Blossom of Amirdrassil (trinket) initial hot dropping/spreading
  • Vicious brand (Signet trinket self damage)

well I think a lot of the capstones are just thoroughly shit, dunno why cold blood exists, echoing is whatever and vanish is whatever… I think it should be made better but I also don’t think its just the same as how you are using vanish today + 1 other use in the dungeon overall, it can allow you to slightly change how you use your vanishes especially if the spec moves away from a ST focus, which is possible in m+

balmy condor
#

Okay but again that’s all hypotheticals

subtle kiln
balmy condor
#

That’s not actually what’s happening

flint marsh
#

a lot of m+ is aoe and playing around your DM is less required

flint marsh
spice surge
subtle kiln
flint marsh
#

in context of assa yeh

balmy condor
#

Like your argument for why it could possibly be anything other than 0 dps is entirely rooted in gameplay that doesn’t exist for assassination

#

Which is why this is confusing

flint marsh
subtle kiln
#

guess what all three are effected by it.

spice surge
#

Between +1 vanish charge and er

#

(also ER comes with 2% crit)

subtle kiln
#

rip apart the assa capstones

balmy condor
#

With deathstalker and coin buffs over the last couple weeks we’re more caustic focused in m+ than ever before

flint marsh
#

1 vanish charge isnt the same as 1 vanish use in entire dungeon

spice surge
#

It is

subtle kiln
#

Or how your spec tree has everything built in so subterfuge is near useless

spice surge
#

In most cases it is the same

flint marsh
#

‘most cases’

spice surge
#

Thats the point, and best case its 2 uses

balmy condor
#

I see the future of the expansion in front of my eyes

subtle kiln
#

Can I get a 3? Loads of values at 3

flint marsh
#

are there even good logs out there atm for it

balmy condor
#

Yes

spice surge
#

Even if we are being excedingly generous and say its 3 casts

subtle kiln
#

3 nails and a cross and your are forgiven

flint marsh
#

who has em

balmy condor
#

Zero has been playing it exclusively

spice surge
#

3 casts of vanish VS 2 lethality points and 40 ER casts

balmy condor
#

He double vanishes the first pull and then on cooldown

flint marsh
#

his logs arent public as far as I can see

balmy condor
#

Then open your eyes

flint marsh
#

could you link them then

#

they not on WCL

austere sorrel
#

His eyes vanished x2

subtle kiln

Vanished off rogue

flint marsh
#

idk why being toxic im not even saying its good

#

it’s just competing against weak stuff

proven jasper
#

I wouldnt call er weak

slate crown
#

It's weak against weak and I'd argue the other stuff isn't really weak (Lethality + ER)

proven jasper
#

its not insane OP

silk bane
subtle kiln
#

it’s general tree. It shouldn’t be strong. It should hold use in some form for all three specs

#

sorry subterfuge is useless due to your spec tree

silk bane
#

nah, general tree should be mostly for utility and defensives not this bs "heres a fuck ton of damage" as well as how your entire spec gets played (dust for sub) in your class tree

flint marsh
#

I picked random dung and looked at highest logs I could find and its 0.4 vanishes vs 0.5 so what like 3 uses or so in dung but also you get to time them not on cd

subtle kiln
#

we back at give assa everything and then some argument unironically

balmy condor
#

He took his logs down but rylle’s pretty good

#

Can look at him if you’d like

haughty flicker
#

Didn’t want people to know he was playing double vanish

#

Classic

balmy condor
#

I’ve gone through literally dozens of these to try and estimate the value

#

There is none

flint marsh
#

so when you are flaming me for saying his logs aren’t there they actually arent

balmy condor
#

They were earlier in the season bite me bro

I ain’t doing all this work just to have to google logs cause you want hypothetical situations that don’t exist

I just log on and check if there are any new builds

no dramas

subtle kiln
#

I’m here waiting for the CB build to drop in pins

flint marsh
#

the first log I checked had more extra vanishes than the 1 you’re saying about though

#

so idk its hard to get good data sorry if it seems like im being a dick

Whatever

#

Play double vanish

#

It’s just restealth v3

proven jasper
#

The pain never ends

haughty flicker
#

I can’t believe whispyr is misleading us about the double vanish tech

#

Fortunately we have heroes ready to argue to the death about it

runic hinge
#

You can’t reason with these people. They see top logs playing with a team and using vanish for specific pulls and think it’s the meta

balmy condor
#

We’re on the verge of dropping improved garrote in single target cause bleed damage from gar and rup has literally never been worse

#

And I can’t even win that +1 vanish charge provides near 0 value

#

Pointless

#

Actually just pointless

#

Sisyphus work

spice surge
#

Im fairly sure we just do drop the imp garrote, the zoldyck and dashing interactions just aint in sims yet so cant be 100% sure

subtle kiln
#

Well 4 points

Because at best it’s 4 wasted points for 1.5 vanishes in 30 fucking minutes

Also, it would be kinda weird if even the wowhead guidewriter was intentionaly telling you to play a worse build than all the other ones that were simmed and tested

its certainly harder to manage if people act like discussing another talent is discrediting his builds or something though

dunno why it has to be viewed that way

But for the last 7 years I’ve been fighting against restealths being the majority of your damage and assa being unplayable without vanish and without restealthing and without dance

And nothing I do gets through

We don’t talk about the NASA experiment enough

balmy condor

And now we have +1 vanish charge

#

And we all agree it’s objectively a shit talent

proven jasper

But for some reason high end m+ players are still doing it

#

And still feeding this delusion of stealth being the utmost importance

#

And I’ve been so sick of it for so many years

It’s a shit talent and it costs 4 points!! Like wtf. Subterfuge does nothing. Heal on vanishing isn’t saving you either

!vanish

storm forum
#

!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

Moroes did

i think it also makes sense thematically that the ones using restealths should be subtlety players lol

hopefully they also dont line up too well and assa eats another nerf on launch haha

I mean we’ve gotten consistent changes the last month

#

I think they needed a wake up call on deathstalker and stuff

#

After the insanely negative reviews rogue has gotten attention

#

Feels like they just got caught off guard

agile geode
#

Hope we still get stuff "fixed" till the release of the xp

#

Hoping Is not a sub exp again

hearty reef
#

hu whuspyr

grim jay
#

as in

clever sapphire
#

i hope recup gets fixed dracthyr_kek

balmy condor
#

They’re like 2-3 fixes to deathstalker away from it being totally fine

grim jay
#

what?

balmy condor
clever sapphire
balmy condor
#

Deathstalker is just things disappearing = rip mark

#

Yeah

#

If they do that and buff the duration on the mark/capstone

#

I think we’re totally okay

#

Mark probably doesn’t need duration

clever sapphire
#

ah and make it work with ER

balmy condor
#

But capstone is a bit tight sometimes

grim jay
balmy condor
#

Yeah ER also would be nice

agile geode
#

Overall it was Better for all the exp ofc

#

I mean, specs were balanced but sub was a bit ahead

thorn lynx
#

@balmy condor I got some questions in regard to Fleetfooted and a certain dagger.

slim hamlet
#

Did anyone check if caustic spatter gets removed off target if you remove deadly poison during it on beta btw?

#

I feel like that could maybe be some jank where it doesn't notice it's your deadly poison then and just removes spatter

balmy condor
thorn lynx
#

Woah woah woah, that's a bold claim.

thorn lynx
#

Wait, you joining us?

balmy condor
#

It just times out

slim hamlet
#

Alright

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

Do we know the talents Kush used?

grim jay
slim hamlet
#

You do it PogO

thorn lynx
balmy condor
#

Was a pretty standard cleave

slim hamlet
#

I kinda wanna buy beta just to sit and hit dummy and find out

grim jay
#

and you wanna hit dummies

slim hamlet
#

I aint fucking doing that dogshit prepatch

#

Would 100x rather hit dummy for 10 hours

grim jay
slim hamlet
#

Same but it's sooooo bad

#

Hoping they are changing it so I can get ring

spice surge
#

They did

slim hamlet
#

Like today?

spice surge
#

Late yesterday ye

slim hamlet
#

I saw they removed the old wowhead post about it

#

Oh

grim jay
slim hamlet
#

Is it any better?

grim jay
#

barely any playing involved

haughty flicker
#

It’s still not a very impressive prepatch but it is significantly better than waiting an hour and a half to do anything

slim hamlet
royal lantern
grim jay
royal lantern
#

like, BfA, WotLK and maybe Legion (and the legion one was mostly just a XP grind going crazy)

grim jay
slim hamlet
#

DF was fun as 2nd screen content

#

or idk if fun is the word

#

It existed

grim jay
slim hamlet
#

and I wasn't mad about it

haughty flicker
#

I use impressive in the loosest sense of the term

#

But it’s not bad now I would say

#

At least you can consistently be doing something

#

Or just afk at boss spawn if you want

grim jay
balmy condor
#

The doomsayers with legion were cool

#

Think that was legion

static glacier
haughty flicker
#

I liked shadowlands prepatch, but that was more for thematic reasons than the actual gameplay being great

clever sapphire
raven egret
#

Man all pre patch have been slight variations of the same thing for several expansion, no idea how this is somehow news dead

haughty flicker
#

Couldn’t be me

raven egret
#

Oh that's me. I totally afk in the memory zones to sip tea.

clever sapphire
#

i just fly to the fast spots easy as that

raven egret
#

No shame

austere sorrel
#

I think it's a cute PP, with the deviant fish and other nostalgia

haughty flicker
#

Pls don’t call it cute

#

Makes me feel small

velvet ridge
#

I have good memories of duskwallow as a child. Prepatch does bring some of it back with going to old zones

austere sorrel
#

Bonking the lazy peon felt nice

#

And gave me old man thoughts like "THIS is when wow used to be GOOD"

raven egret
#

member the barrens?

static glacier
#

question is what lvl the heirloom trink goes to

#

im guessing 60 or 70

spice spire
raven egret
#

they all go to 69 (70)

#

like all heirlooms do

haughty flicker
#

nice

slim hamlet
static glacier
#

and I meant w/e the new heirloom is, might be a ring

raven egret
grim jay
#

going up further?

#

than the others

#

unless I remember it wrong

raven egret
#

Not anymore, they all been standardized when the level caps went up

static glacier
#

that was what made me ask

#

I remember we could use the demonbane heirlooms

#

when levelling

grim jay
#

until the next time they pushed heirlooms

raven egret
#

Not that it matters much the number of uses heirlooms have are.... Limited. But yeah that's not been a thing since forever ago. They all still follow level cap.

grim jay
#

rather redundant nowadays anyways

#

even if they made new prepatch heirlooms that level with you until new max on release

#

we are basically in full heirloom gear with mythic gear anyways

static glacier
#

now see davyn

#

you made a critical error in assuming I played s4

grim jay
#

yeah I guess

static glacier
#

503 ilvl atm

haughty flicker
static glacier
#

been doing some tmog runs and socialising with new guild on disc for wow related things

#

mainly still playing other games, other hobbies til tww

#

no need to get more gear, been invited to a few mythic runs but it feels pointless

haughty flicker
#

guild wasnt raiding s4 so i became a catgirl

#

and now guild is deadge so maybe catgirl forever

#

but i need prepatch gear for transmog so had to resub

static glacier
#

tmog changes lowkey best thing in prepatch

#

it's sooooo good

raven egret
#

I mean heirlooms would change anything then, they too low Ilvl to compete with anything bla

normal mist
grim jay
#

and scaled up to legion max lv immediately

#

that way they kinda would be relevant

#

for what its worth

haughty flicker
#

i just want the ring because its a +1 to a collection

#

so it must be obtained

grim jay
normal mist
#

Post buff, its fast, but you still need atleast 1 rotation per map

#

so, 3 hours total gameplay

grim jay
normal mist
#

"gameplay"

#

You just need to fly around

grim jay
#

sounds like a job for my mage

normal mist
#

Actually unsure if you need to participate in events or not to get rewarded, since i always helped, but its fast nontheless, even if you just kill the final boss

slim hamlet
#

Sounds like a job for some random guy in lfg I can click follow on

haughty flicker
#

sit at final boss

#

get 5 memories per

#

ez

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

im sorry, not irl catgirl

balmy condor
#

Despair

haughty flicker
#

i shouldve clarified so i didnt get peoples hopes up

#

i have girl cat though

slim hamlet
#

Was just about to dm

#

man

haughty flicker
#

ignore the scruffy ass beard and hair i havent been to the barber in a while

#

just look at cat

slim hamlet
#

Cat do be cat

#

so smol

#

Ours is a chonker

normal mist
night cipher
#

Too much thistle tea

austere sorrel
haughty flicker
#

so fun issue ive just found with prepatch

#

the memories are capped at 20

#

and they drop in groups of 5 from the boss

static glacier
haughty flicker
#

so its going straight to my mail and i cant pick them up

static glacier
#

Practising stealth

slim hamlet
#

Don't you only need 20?

haughty flicker
#

yes but you cant go over 20

#

so i have 17 in bags and 5 in mail

slim hamlet
#

Delete 2

haughty flicker
#

but it wont let me pick them up

slim hamlet
#

easy

haughty flicker
#

since that would go over 20

#

thats work

#

i would rather complain

slim hamlet
#

True

austere sorrel
#

My cat, showing extreme discipline

slim hamlet
#

make a ticket instead

haughty flicker
slim hamlet
#

Also yea he hella long

haughty flicker
#

yeah both of mine would never do that

#

0 discipline there

austere sorrel

oh wait, not offtopic

slim hamlet

Yea

#

Offtopic-2

pure mauve
#

Hi, does fatebound change anything in rotation?

raven egret
#

well I mean, make sure you use 5+ CPs

#

or them sweet delicious ER charged nodes

#

if I think of those as cookies, its not so bad

pure mauve
#

is ER mandatory?

raven egret
#

well theres nothing else better. Sooo it kinda wins by default

#

ER flips more coins, thats pretty much all there is to it

oblique jackal
#

Is there an M+ build that takes SBS?

#

I can't find anyone

unborn wharf
#

yo just to double check without the s3/s4 4set we dont do envenom chains, we just maintain the envenom uptime roughly above 50% energy right?

errant trail
#

i go shrouded

#

cuz big rogue says so

#

SBS feels good but like shrouded just helps with ramp imo makes opener feel smooth

#

ask @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

What I do

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

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

Ah gotcha so no SBS

balmy condor
runic hinge
#

Now with the talent tho it becomes less definite and you can do whatever I think

balmy condor
#

Don’t have to be under 50, don’t have to be over

#

Rapid injection is okay but nothing crazy

unborn wharf
#

if ur at like 20% energy or something and envenom is about to go out r u going back to 50% or just kinda envenoming

balmy condor
#

Sanguine eats too much energy

#

Literally doesn’t matter

am i bad if i’m hanging around 150 and dipping occasionally?

raven egret
balmy condor

I mean if you don’t have tier ofc

#

If you have tier then idk what you’re doing

errant trail
#

my sanguine hangs around 7-8% overall dmg

runic hinge
errant trail
#

i’m guessing that’s okay

balmy condor
#

That’s not really a metric to value

runic hinge
#

Jk jk

rain mortar
balmy condor
#

Who’s he playing with

rain mortar
#

Gulagcool - i think thats zero?

#

i think its a well known rogue im not 100% sure

balmy condor
#

Maybe

rain mortar
#

i mean there is an aug

#

but hes slapping the survival hunte aroind like a rag doll

balmy condor
#

Sounds like Aug

#

Survival sucks with Aug me think

rain mortar
#

yeah i mean its anectodal one stream, im just saying, he's making the dmg look big right now maybe its BS who knows

balmy condor
#

Yeah insane

#

Spec gets 20% worth of buffs

#

And it does damage

#

What a concept

rain mortar
#

there is that sass i was looking for

balmy condor
#

That’s what I do

#

and its at least 20% of why i love you

also due to your video today i've coined and extremely creative new phrase - MDGA

balmy condor
#

errant trail
#

sanguini works with crit effects?

#

dumb question

balmy condor
#

It shouldn’t crit

#

If that’s the question

errant trail
#

okay makes sense

#

i’m curious is envenoming first before your DM kingsbang window worth

#

for the 30% poison chance

balmy condor
#

Yes that’s why we do it

errant trail
#

okay so i was doing it right

balmy condor
#

Envenom deathmark shiv kb

errant trail
#

does it have to be 5 CP envenom

balmy condor
#

Yes

errant trail
#

hm how much dmg do you lose if you forget

balmy condor
#

Like 0.5%

young geyser
#

is sin also the best 1v1 class or only sub is?

normal mist
young geyser
#

sry

errant trail
#

so like let’s say i apply empowered garrote right

#

i have 6 seconds to reapply if i want

#

do you ever double refreshed when you have 1 second left?

#

or is that a dps loss

slim hamlet
#

What does that even mean

#

You wanna press double garrote in stealth on 1 target or?

#

If so then no, that was only something we did when we had exsanguinate

No one was expecting anything

And then we get mad when one gets something

raven egret
#

Thats not exactly a good representation of the situation thought, is it. Blizz went :

errant trail
#

i worded it wrong

raven egret
#

then we gave feedback for months with 0 acknowledgement or, to use their words, 'refinement'

#

so feedback was given into the void for absolutely nothing. It wasn't about expectations out of nowhere, buf if you going to ask for our feedback it's reasonable to expect some form of communication in regards to that feedback

it’s so fucking annoying

I mean you press it once

errant trail
#

true

raven egret
#

then just, keep on going on

errant trail
#

but why do we have it

raven egret
#

is it kinda stupid we have to press it once now? yeah, sure, but I mean, 1gcd

#

Maybe it'll get looked at when we get our inevitable updates in 11.1.. or was it 11.2

errant trail
#

think about it

#

slice n dice doesn’t feel cool to press at all

#

it’s just maintenance

#

atleast for me who’s new to the spec

runic hinge
#

I mean it’s a maintenance spec. Maintain dots. Maintain envenom. maintain your sanity while you pool

raven egret
#

RIght now its more of a 'it is what it is' vibe.

I guess we could hard cast it regularly to actually get recuperator to work dracthyr_kek_animated

I wish they would combine flying daggers and thrown precision

Two talents that shouldn't be seperate

balmy condor

Flying daggers in general is pointless with sanguine now

oblique jackal

exactly

balmy condor

At least with venom rush there was a bit of thought on the choice but it’s just unplayable now

its the dumbest choice node in the game I'm fairly sure

when i do the burst deathmark shiv kingsbane do i thistle tea after or in between shiv and kingsbane

Thistle tea during shiv when you will not waste the energy

Dont waste the energy

#

And use it in shiv

there any bugs with MA not working?

so deathmark shiv tea kingsbane?

some rogue in trade chat complaining about it, just curious

If you are not wasting any of that energy yes

long island
#

i dont really understand the energy waste part ill keep it a g

spice surge

Tea gives 100 energy

You want it to give you 100 energy, and not 78 or whatever because you ended up at max energy

u mean so i dont overflow?

yea i understand now

It only works for 3 seconds still. That ain’t a bug tho

balmy condor

Yeh

#

I guess I haven’t checked if it’s 6 with subterfuge

#

But pointless anyway

slim hamlet
#

Another bug to the funny list tho

long island
#

how big of an issue is that i sometimes cast finishers at 5 combo instead of 6

balmy condor
#

You should be finishing on 5

errant trail
#

takes getting used too

#

also one thing that has seemed to been helping me is

#

i watch peoples CDs

#

if they pump and dump first packs

#

i wait to death mark the next one

and i’ll just kingsbang
