Would it be that bad? It’s 14 seconds of losing the auto attack damage + like 4 mark casts vs 5%
More cd damage

balmy condor
#

Any single target generator applies

static glacier
#

could deffo be a fix, and caustic forces mut in aoe regardless

balmy condor
#

Also technically not 5% more cd damage

silk bane
#

Probably a ripple effect of delaying darkest night too

balmy condor
#

Cause it’s either 100% + 45% + 5%of45%

#

Or 100% + 5%of100% + 45%

#

So it’s like 147.5 vs 150

iron valve
#

I'll just flip some coins 🙂

balmy condor
#

But even worse than that right cause you don’t singular focus all your damage

#

Like sanguine doesn’t work

#

So you’re already downlike 7% damage during CDs or something

static glacier
#

yall ran sims on funnel dmg with sing focus yet?

#

post buff

silk bane
#

It’s useless

#

Atleast for sub

static glacier
balmy condor
#

It’s like 3-4% in sustained aoe

static glacier
#

lame

#

actually

#

3-4% of aoe dps isnt bad

#

at all

silk bane
#

Simply because it doesn’t work with sectech

balmy condor
#

Yeah they fixed it working with caustic

#

And ct cranks

silk bane
#

For us it’s basically just rupture lmfao

balmy condor
#

Still doesn’t work with sanguine though

#

Also doesn’t work with clear the witnesses

#

Which is kinda wtf

static glacier
#

sang i understand, cotw is a bit ???

silk bane
#

Does it work with corrupt the blood?

balmy condor
#

I believe so but I haven’t been deep checking bugs in a month

silk bane
#

I kinda thought it wouldn’t work with any of the damage events from the tree itself

static glacier
#

would defeat the purpose

balmy condor
#

That would be insanely dumb

static glacier
#

lmao

urban anvil
#

Are you going to make season 1 guides on the tube?

static glacier
#

tree doesn't work with itself

slate crown
#

I like tube

silk bane
# balmy condor That would be insanely dumb

Would it? Not a single damaging event from the tree works with a single thing from sub except db. Doesn’t work with shadowed finishers, dance, sod, sod crit chance, dd,vt,blades

urban anvil
balmy condor
#

In my mind it’s not even a valid discussion

#

It should work

slate crown
balmy condor
#

No argument

balmy condor
#

Just need to do the written stuff first

silk bane
#

Would be nice I guess. I’m legit used to nothing working that I’m even considering this an option I think instead of bugs

urban anvil
#

Sorry meant before tww release or season 1

balmy condor
#

Shooting for during early access

silk bane
#

Also does fatal intent work with singular focus?

slate crown
urban anvil

visual sequoia
#

can i have ambush proc and mutilate on the same button somehow?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

The game does it automatically for you

visual sequoia
#

oh nice

#

have to test 😄

gray flower
#

are empowered Garrotes from stealth still a thing in TWW? or did they remove snapshotting like that

balmy condor
#

That’s still a thing

#

Questionable if that’s a true snapshot though

#

The damage of the garrote still changes with mastery increases and haste increases and all that

#

It’s just 50% more than normal for that cast

#

But otherwise completely dynamic

gray flower
#

keep getting lua errors on my WA related to the Garrote from stealth thing. was hoping i could just delete that part of it lol

balmy condor
#

Lisonna has a standalone you can use

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
gray flower
#

thank you

balmy condor
#

Under her rogue collection

gray flower
#

annoying that rogue class hall is bugged

#

my preferred target dummy spot

balmy condor
#

I hate dummies in class hall

#

Single target is impossible cause you end up cleaving something all the time

gray flower
#

mm fair

#

i mostly use for UI troubleshooting

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s fine

#

For testing stuff it’s aids

brazen gyro
#

Is sin as hard as people make it out to be in m+? I wanna play it as an alt (I main druid) but afraid I wont perform well numbers wise unless I give it a “mains” level of dedication

royal lantern
#

its one of the harder ones

#

but like always, wow players love to overexegerate stuff

#

its confusing until you realise that everything you do has a set in stone purpose and then you dont really think about stuff anymore

static glacier
#

there's a decent amount of similarity between spreading dots as sin and double rake spreading

royal lantern
#

^

slate crown
balmy condor
#

True

#

I mean it is technically a snapshot because that specific cast has that buff for its whole duration regardless of anything

dense cloud
#

I'm just coming to assa, which build is the best for m+?

muted ridge
#

anything with Caustic goes i'd say

dense cloud
#

fyi, idk tf that means

balmy condor
#

Oh boy

dense cloud
#

so bleed or hybrid?

#

last time i played assa was in bfa

#

lmfao

balmy condor
#

Play bleed

dense cloud
#

so hybrid. okay

muted ridge
#

sure

balmy condor
#

Hate u fr

dense cloud
#

lmao

#

I played KiR build, trust me I hate myself more

balmy condor
#

Bleed is most similar to bfa

dense cloud
#

good, thats why hybrid, i hated that shit in bfa

balmy condor
slate crown
#

GERALD

balmy condor
#

Based though lowkey

slate crown
#

LISTEN TO THE MAN

dense cloud
#

im listening, i was just assuming he said bleed cuz im just coming back and he recommended an easy build

balmy condor
#

He’s gonna have to spread bleeds like a mfer regardless

dense cloud
#

bleed spread still depends on char model position right?

balmy condor
#

Hybrid does the same but there’s more emphasis on kingsbane

dense cloud
#

oh okay.

#

good then

prisma iris
#

bro said he played kir, every sin build is easier than that spec

dense cloud
#

I might be mixing it with that garbage sub shadow technique shit

hexed frost
#

It's really funny that everyone hates BfA for being the shittiest expansion but assassination's core gameplay mechanics are from BfA OMEGAKEKW

royal lantern
#

BfA was overall good

hexed frost
#

Scent, Exsanguate and Shrouded

royal lantern
#

the problem is mostly that the bad parts where really bad

#

but the good parts where really fucking good

hexed frost
royal lantern
#

i can gurantee you

#

almost NOBODY that complains about that one ever did that

#

they just jumped on it as a reason to hate it lol

hexed frost
#

Crucible was a good fun raid though

royal lantern
#

like, the ammount of people that actually did endless island grinding is very very small lol

slate crown
#

I did a bunch of islands cause I liked doing islands peeposhrug

royal lantern
#

when like

#

no, that is not what 99,999% of players ever had to do lol

#

frking reddit/forum casuals that never enter a raid above LFR telling you how they where FoRcEd into islands, while im killing mythic Jaina and never did islands beyond the weekly stuff until all traits where unlocked and then ignored them lol

balmy condor
hexed frost
balmy condor
#

But ya most of assa is legion, bfa, and 10.2

gray flower
#

is there any reason to track amplifying poison?

#

like its all passive right? i dont need to play around it?

balmy condor
#

If you ask the sim yes if you ask a player no

royal lantern
#

no reason no

#

amp just exists

#

stacks and makes envenom stronger

balmy condor
#

There is a check for capped 20 stacks in sims to stop pooling but I don’t think it’s used these days

gray flower
#

im imagining a hypothetical where, like, i have thistle tea or trinket proc coming up and I want to hold envenom or something

balmy condor
#

Otherwise there’s nothing there

gray flower
#

but seems impossible to play around

balmy condor
#

Oh definitely not that

gray flower
#

got it. so its just about overcapping

balmy condor
#

Yeah but in tww I don’t think you ever run into a situation where you overcap

gray flower
#

seems kind of impractical to play around anyway yeah, to your point about sims vs player

balmy condor
#

In 10.2 with low gear it was possible you could end up pooling for 12-14 seconds

#

In which case you would cap

gray flower
#

bc energy regen was bad?

balmy condor
#

Not really

#

We just pooled from 0 to 80

#

Which is a long time to sit there

gray flower
#

got it

balmy condor
#

240 energy takes a bit

gray flower
#

coming back to the game after 2 years, having 300 energy is insane lol

Bruh I'm constantly doing 2M+ on trash pulls in pre-patch but losing out to pala, warrs and shamans on boss fights. despairge

Would momentarily do 850K on boss pull with pots and dm+kb but would lose eventually to these classes weirdge

#

Running hybrid build btw

balmy condor

Yeah so

Keyword is prepatch

Oh yeah, I need to complete mythic dazaralor leather set. Maybe start farming it

spice surge

So if he wants to do more damage in prepatch keys thats happening

hexed frost
haughty flicker
#

ez chilling

#

that rogue set is ass though

hexed frost
#

Tbh except the dazaralor set, all sets are trash HOLY

rotund oak
#

she got a bigmac alright

haughty flicker
#

there are some pvp sets that are good enough they make me wish i pvped

grim jay

and that one set with the skullface mask

haughty flicker

definitely going to have to hope i can get carried in solo rbgs for next seasons set

oh and bloodfang is arguably good, just a little outdated and everyone has it

Is there some talent breakdown that goes over exactly what every talent does and what value it has?

You can check the guides and read the talents

other than that, for TWW, you also can check the pins for what Whispyr wrote

Where are the guides? I can’t find them.

IC spread SBS?

or just send one stack to the target

It spreads sbs if you have the charges for it

#

Is assa looking insane for TWW? Looked at petkos video where he ranks Assa as top tier in m+. Sounds weird from what ive heard. Decided for another class as main since i dont like sub and outloaw. But i have a huge fomo on assa after i saw that 😛

shy pecan
#

Tier lists…

gleaming oar
#

yeah that's why im here asking, since u never can trust them

silk bane
#

hi mr. 🔮 is assa looking insane for tww?

#

mr. 🔮 : fuck if I know dude i dont work for blizzard, and theyre the one thatll be tuning specs for the next 5-6 weeks

covert jewel
#

legit source

balmy condor
#

I trust 🔮 with my taxes

storm forum
#

I trust 🔮 with my gut health

static glacier
#

we can easily go back there with some nerfs

#

inherent design and utility-wise sin is not bad nor amazing for keys, we're no aug or mage by design

#

but if we do enough dmg we will be meta, like any other dps

storm forum
#

We are no longer allowed to be excited about possibly being meta.

static glacier
#

if you want to 100% play something meta ur best bet is levelling rogue + mage + warlock

storm forum
#

Blizzard has made it clear that anything except explicit dooming will be met with the nerf bat.

static glacier
#

and then pick based on w/e seems to be performing well but not 1st place dps

#

since w/e is top gets nerfed and the real best specs for a tier will start out in top 6ish while stuff above it is nerfed

#

once rwf starts you're safe from tuning until it finishes

#

that'll be £20 for the crystal ball reading

thin kernel
#

We gonna be the DHs of tww, peaked too soon.

spice surge

Tbf assa was like that for 2/3 patches in DF already kekdog

how much do I have to play around coin flip stuff in fatebound?

balmy condor
#

pins

#

#

fatebound info

junior aurora
#

and needles

versed mica
#

I read in there, but it seemed unclear

#

is it just the coldblood bit?

balmy condor
versed mica
#

so do we have to track coin flips with WAs then? lmao

#

and how much of a dps loss is it to ignore it, the .5% number mentioned?

balmy condor
#

kinda not really

#

like the vanish thing lines up pretty naturally most of the time

versed mica
#

well that's good lmao

balmy condor
#

most of the time you're not even getting to 5 before vanishing

#

you just refresh garrote

#

but there are some niche situations where you're ending up with 5 and haven't vanished yet

#

and that's where that triggers

#

but it's basically just a solution to an edge case

#

otherwise you just vanish normally

versed mica
#

Gotcha

balmy condor
#

don't really need to track the coins otherwise

#

you can track the capstone I guess for m+ and then open ravenholdt and bitch about how shit it feels to drop the capstone cause your tank pulled slow

#

and then get a tank that chains and then open ravenholdt and bitch about how shit it feels to chain because of stealths

#

and either way I'd laugh at you

versed mica
#

my m+ tank buddy is based so it's fine

junior aurora
#

based on what

balmy condor
#

but yeh idk

#

I'm probably tracking coins to start and I'll see how I feel about it

#

but big chance I just stop tracking coins

versed mica
#

Basically I don't want to think about coin flips, I don't want to track them, I just wanna yolo it

junior aurora
#

im gonna flip a coin irl every time i finish

versed mica
#

Or else I don't wanna play fb lmao

balmy condor
#

yeah if that's make or break for you

#

I'd cautiously say you're in the clear

versed mica
#

hell yeah

#

I'm still iffy on deathstalker on whether or not I wanna play that

#

In raid it will be yolo but in M+ I'll have to target swap a bit more

#

but meh, you target swap a lot as sin anyway

lime crypt
#

i feel like both are shit

#

nothing fancy cool looking

frank jetty
#

Will assa be hugely affected by the patch on Tuesday/Wednesday?

royal lantern
#

what patch?

frank jetty
#

next reset they load the current beta patch on live

balmy condor
#

it's getting a buff but who gives a shit

#

quick lil damage buff for a week and a half of an already insanely imbalanced patch at the very end of an expac

royal lantern
#

ill do more dmg for our last fyrakk sell run i gues peeposhrug

# lime crypt wtf XD

It might seem excessive, but you have to realize that its 19/18 people youre buying the boost from, they can only do 1 each week (per character atleast), and they need to be decently good at the game to do it.

#

It’s not like a glad mount

royal lantern
#

ye but no 100% drop anymore

lime crypt
#

ye with 1%

strange python
#

There’s not a lot of prestige tied to it

#

Ye what I’m saying is

royal lantern
#

and you wont get it next expansion

strange python
#

He was talking about „deserved“

royal lantern
#

will need minimum until midnight

strange python
#

It’s not like glad mounts yk

#

In that sense

royal lantern
#

tbh, i never cared about the "prestige" of stuff

#

i use them if i like them dracthyr_kek

lime crypt
#

they prolly dont use it

strange python
#

Yeah same but if there was prestige I don’t think raid mounts are great for prestige

lime crypt
#

its just a number in their total mount collection ig

royal lantern
#

first guy in the guild that got the nzoth mount during BfA and i never touched that ugly pos kekw

strange python
#

If there was a mount tied to ce/Hof achievement that’s different

royal lantern
#

the mounts are "prestige" for the expansion itself and halfway into the next one

strange python
#

If you sit on it early into the patch it’s cool tho nomf

royal lantern
#

after that? farm groups can do it by outleveling stuff

#

but again, who cares

#

i use it if it looks cool lol

strange python
#

Nobody does ye

#

Well

royal lantern
#

the random drop fyrakk mount is 20000% cooler then the AotC fyrakk mount

haughty flicker
#

nobody uses them, they sit afk in current xpac main hub on them

royal lantern
#

and the random drop one is possible to get in lfr

strange python
#

I did care when I was new and I saw people on the „big mythic mount“ ngl

#

Like real new

haughty flicker
#

although the birb is pretty cool

royal lantern
#

check it out

#

its really noticable if you saw it once

#

you are like, 15% wider on it

haughty flicker
#

sometimes your modle needs a good stretch

strange python
#

I don’t like that you sit uphill

#

That’s kinda weird

royal lantern
#

the #1 perk of the mount?

#

when you get it early

#

mount up next to your druid and ask "wow, this is so cool, why are you not using it as flight form?????????????"

strange python
#

Honestly #1 perk was being a Druid that patch ngl

#

Felt good

spice surge
#

The real juice is getting the first mount on the kill so you can sell it to your mount collector richboy in your guild

haughty flicker
#

lmao

spice surge
#

We have a dude in my guild thats involved with a boosting community, that guy has gold

#

Skimming 4M or so of the top doesnt matter much kekdog

royal lantern
#

like, we dont do "real" boosting tbh

Its just "do a couple runs at the very end of a tier too fill up the gbank" so we have free feasts+cauldrons for the entire next tier

strange python
#

I just do some start of patch boosting in communities because it’s worth it at that point, mostly stop after a few weeks as it drops significantly

#

Also heroic boosting is free real estate so snagging free money early in the tier is goodge

#

right now without master assassin whats the rule to use vanish?

#

in m+ for the silence?

slate crown
#

Would any of you make a decision off of anything related to bone spike bonespike ? Got a request on Wago to add something for it with 0 context as to why and want to make sure I'm not missing something

#

I guess knowing your stacks tells you if you're going to get CP back after casting rupture

spice surge
#

I dont think theres much merit to tracking it

gilded oasis
#

I made myself one to show the cd so like maybe in packs i can rupture a target without it when I know a charge is avail and it also shows current stacks out. but idk if I like it yet ive only played with it like 20 mins

slate crown
#

And because it seemed like there wasn't really a decision point to it to me, didn't put in the effort

gilded oasis
#

yeah or maybe available charges vs charges out there? just for like you said, knowing how many cp are coming or knowing if its worth to rupture someone else to get it out or not (IDK if its even worth it for that but I assume if they live some amount of time it is worth?)

balmy condor
#

there's no reason to track any of that

Anyone know how many bullion we can get total without the quests?

I mean I'll be honest

Ya’ll liking the new buffs coming to sin?

balmy condor

I haven't checked if the ttd check on rupture needs to update from the bone spike change

#

that didn't occur to me

strange python
#

Nah I wish they didn’t buff

slate crown
#

Except I added a cooldown tracker for shadowlands bonespike for anyone who goes bcak to SL and is that covenant

balmy condor
#

I guess theoretically there might be something there

#

but I don't think that's trackable

slate crown
#

for some reason

balmy condor
#

that would just be sim logic

#

like in order to track that you would need to code up an estimator for time till death

#

and then pump all the sim logic behind it

gilded oasis
#

i love to pump

put me in

oh did I miss more apl talk

balmy condor

some guy showed up like 12-13 hours ago

and said that the APL is coded poorly and any compsci grad could do it better

and then didn't elaborate

Why’s that?

balmy condor
#

it's beta server tuning being forced onto level 70 characters

#

9 days before an expac release

#

I mean

#

do we really give a shit

spice lagoon
#

Right

balmy condor
#

prepatch is already the most imbalanced patch in an expansion

gilded oasis
#

i beat prepatch i dont even have to login

balmy condor
#

and it's probably getting worse on tuesday

spice lagoon
#

I’m glad rogues are getting love lol

balmy condor
#

they aren't though

#

that's the thing

spice lagoon
#

It don’t matter tho

balmy condor
#

like no spec is "getting love"

#

all of the changes coming on tuesday have been the result of the last 1-2 months of tuning on beta servers

#

it's not related to prepatch at all

#

they're just moving it over

spice lagoon
#

So basically before we can get an enjoyment of many classes we half to wait almost 2 months?

balmy condor
#

what

spice lagoon
#

So they balance everything out

balmy condor
#

they've been balancing

#

beta has gotten weekly balance changed since end of june

#

tuesdays patch is simply a copy paste of that data

#

onto live servers

#

once the servers come up tuesday, you're essentially playing a "balanced" version of the game as it should be at the start of season 1

#

except you're doing it with level 70 charactesr

#

and no hero talents

When dealing with aoe packs in higher keys in beta, after we’ve applied all of our bleeds etc in the opener, do we generally go over and reapply garrotes to all of the mobs as it falls off, dealing with garrotes cooldown etc?

balmy condor
#

no

floral vale
#

oh ok but rupture ya?

balmy condor
#

rupture for energy and scent of blood yes

floral vale
#

ty

balmy condor
#

you want to maintain garrote on your main target ofc

#

if that wasn't obvious

floral vale
#

trying to internalize all of these things, been reading the guide over and over and the beta info

#

a lot to take in

floral vale
balmy condor
#

a lot of assassination decision making in mythic+ just comes down to experience

#

you can kinda read all the theory for days but you really just gotta get into uncomfortable situations and be forced into making the decisions for it to fit

floral vale
#

I’m so used to sub and outlaw, it feels very cognitively taxing trying to do sin keys but i’m enjoying it

#

i like mentally stutter when trying to make a decision rather than just reacting on instinct

balmy condor
#

and then traditionally you have to have no self-confidence, show up here after a key, and ping me with some ultra niche specific situation that happened in that key expecting me to just pull the next couple optimal gcds out of my ass like I'm sort of stockfish chess bot for hypothetical encounters that I wasn't a part of

floral vale
#

ofc

balmy condor
#

and then when I tell you the thing I would've done in this one in a thousand key run

floral vale
#

we need stockfish analyzer for vods

balmy condor
#

you have to go "hm... okay I guess" and be dismissive about it

#

that way I can feel like I just wasted my time

haughty flicker

#

i thought of building an addon that tries to compare your actions on a target dummy vs the apl, and then gives you a % score after like 1 minute how close you are to the apl on a dummy

balmy condor

that sounds horrendous

floral vale
#

hah

#

just to build muscle memory

balmy condor

it's like if you took an awful rotation helper

smol question caterm does zoldyck recipe interact with sudden demise the way one would expect? i.e. when a mob falls below 35% the increased bleed damage from zoldyck is taken into account for when sudden demise would proc? or is zoldyck just a modifier that applies to the bleeds each time they tick and as such doesn't interact with sudden demise

balmy condor
#

yes it interacts

When playing deathstalker, and with Darkest Night active, do you want to rush to get to max cp to consume it? I guess I'm mostly wondering if you land on an anima charged combo point on your way to max, do you ignore that so you can use your super envenom? And do you use energy as quickly as you can to get to seven to use it to start the cycle anew?

thanks homie

slate crown

🫡

rotund oak
slate crown
#

It is correct

#

To clarify I don’t recall the exact number but it doesn’t matter point is the VW buff is not a major change, just a slight damage increase. We already had enough energy for envenom uptimes. This just adds a few more casts over a fight.

limber lion
#

The VW change is stupid, I'll say it

#

Already drowning in energy during cds and all the "pooling mechanics" that Sang and VV want to introduce kinda get dicked on by giga energy return

#

Like idk why they can't figure out a good number for it. From 5 to 8 to 6 to 7 and now 8. Like come on lol

#

Me and Whispyr would both prefer tuning the number lower, not higher.

runic hinge
#

I think they think maybe the spec needs to be more interactive? Idk if that’s the right word but people don’t generally like pooling and not pushing buttons. I think they tune VW up so they can get the zoomers in on the spec

#

Maybe that’s just my imagination

silver crystal
#

could anyone help me clarify why we spend at 40% energy but still pick up sanguine blade? Im reading the pins but im feeling dumb

silver crystal
# silk bane

my head just cant wrap around how are we still getting benefit from sanguine blades if were below 50% energy

#

is regen so high that it still procs sanguine blades?

silk bane
#

trying to stay around 40% means that sometimes u casually peak above 50 and it works. the the other times is when youre in deathmark and get so much regen that its proccing regardless

#

and as the post says, you take it because not much else to take instead ofit

silver crystal
#

ahh okay thank you for explaining it to me

royal lantern
#

(dont tell me now if its good or bad, its not my opinion on the matter, i just think that this is the thought behind it)

rare jackal
#

sin could be so good if they shuffled around some of hte damage

#

less envenom, more into bleeds

#

sanguine

#

etc

royal lantern
#

like, it is a fact that most people prefer fast gameplay and hate managing resources

#

and energy is 1 of the topics that you sometimes read on the "lower skilled" side as a negative for assa gameplay

#

so i can atleast understand where they are comming from with the changes in energy i gues...?

grim jay
grim jay
#

Except maybe a different details breakdown and balancing issues

rare jackal
#

it would make multi dotting worth it and maybe not create such convoluted pooling rules

grim jay
#

But it already is worth it up until a certain point PogO

rare jackal
#

doestn feel right that for a dot spec 90% of our damage coming from envenom and auto attacks

#

but thats just me

grim jay
#

Envenom is a poison

#

And its a bleed and poison spec

rare jackal
grim jay
#

Its not copium, its literally the definition, can even Google it

#

And Blizzard has a horrible track record with multidotting spec balance

#

Kinda not worth hoping for that just for rupturing 1-2 more times

talking about ST and raid

Which is also fine. Spec is maintaining dots and buffs and spamming during cds

Sin was op

runic hinge
#

Kingsbane is a dot

rare jackal
#

i did i played season 3

#

although s3 sin suffered the most from this

#

it was almost never worth it to go out of your way to multi dot with rupture instead of aoeing with envenom in raid

grim jay
#

Because its not real aoe

runic hinge
#

No adds lived 24 seconds in raid

grim jay
#

And you dont even have aoe talents to spread them fast there, because they die too quick

runic hinge
#

If they did it would be worth it

#

Could be*

#

I shouldn’t say would

rare jackal
#

people really love envenom huh

#

interesting

grim jay
royal lantern
#

its more like

blizz actively goes away from "apply dots, they do dmg" gameplay

grim jay
#

And its still fitting the spec identity

kindred breach
#

Envenom is a core for our spec since the dawn of time i like it

runic hinge
#

But basically a rupture will do more damage for the combo points and energy than envenom but the target has to live the full duration. So if it doesn’t why bother

cus it almost always resulted in "insane in raids, bad everywhere else"

cus they needed stuff to stay alive for a long time or otherwhise do 0dmg

and multidotting then broke shit

#

crucible of storms in BfA with most teams running 70% of their raid beeing shadowpriest lol

huge brain idea: diminishing return on multiple dots, like a target cap

grim jay
#

They sadly didnt move in that direction with the rework

runic prairie
#

sin makes me not want to play sub sometimes

royal lantern
#

another thing is that "dots do most dmg" is....a bit lame in gameplay quiet often, cus it translates into applying dots every 20-ish seconds and then do whatever bettwen that

its like ez sub mode and more dmg

You can’t want every single button you have to be pressed on cd and also complain when you die to mechanics cause you’re animation locked because you can’t take a half a second and think, can I die if I can’t move for 2 seconds.
