ah gotcha
So I was just hitting the training dummies at Stormwind and noticed Deathstalker's Mark refresh on the Raider's Training Dummy, but it refreshes in the PVP Training Dummy [from Darkest Night]. Is this a bug?
Its incredibly weak though
Not sure what you mean, using darkest night refreshes it regardless of target
that explains why none of the builds take that talent anymore, I didn't even notice it wasn't the poison application one anymore since the icon is the same lol
wait nevermind I'm just dense ignore me
If they ever tune up that talent I just hope there is alternative ideally making spec a bit faster
i just did my first +16 key e ver
Waiting for energy to pool and chaining envenoms was often slow even if avarage apm doesn't show it
with 630k BH
think about it like this: We do damage when it matters, we are fast when it matters

idk if thats good but damn im proud!
You DID a 16, thats awesome
You timed key = it's good
yeah at a 17 now
Overall dmg is dependent on so many factors out of your control that it's not really relevant
What matters to me is having fun, s3 wasn't fun, mostly because it felt slower outside of cds
so true!
then this will be the wrong spec to you, because we'll play the same
s3 = s4
and TWW s1 will probably feel the same
since nothing really changed
Well I been playing assa almost exclusively for 18 years or so and I never had least fun than in s3 so maybe it's just me but there was clearly a change how it feels to play assa
i mean
But we've been pooling for so long
assa gameplay in S3 was not really different
like, at all lol
that gameplay was always optimal
the tierset just amplified it
Not true
We did not forcibly chain Envenoms. Dropping them did not matter whatsoever.
Chaining was a misplay.
who is that not-green name speaking 
Lol





pooling on its own is fine but didn't we get nerfed energy regen in s3 + sanguine? it definitely felt slower to play outside cds
Yeah but it eats energy, that's what he's saying
yeah and suddenly dropping regen when you pass 50% feels wierd af to me
But I do not buy the "18 years of Assa"
Because EP Assa was so damn slow
This is like turbomode in comparison
EP Assa around 45apm, current Assa hanging around 58apm or whatever

if env uptime was deadge would we even change anything
wed just pool before every env for 2 muts
we'd play around rapid injection and sanguine differently yeah
rapid injection would be even worse
wdym would be even worse
say they halved env duration
you'd have less opportunities to proc rapid injection in a fight
sure, and it would get buffed to compensate
either way i'd think the prio would be fitting env > mut mut maybe 3rd mut and wait
unless im mistaken I think fitting mut in env is more valuable than fitting env into it
being 2 hits and all
what
im picturing how we'd play if we had low env uptime
you would chain a couple of envenoms back to back and then break your uptime and repeat
idk why im imagining a world where chaining more than 1 env is impossible
idk why you're doing that either
@balmy condor How did the energy felt on ST?
I get that on m+ we can get decent regen on AOE but how did it feel on ST?
Did you feel a lot of downtime in order to pool?
bro this spec has energy out of the ass now
theres not a lot of downtime
you spend maybe 6 seconds a minute "pooling"
Again, for AOE yes. on ST with the chaining of envenoms and lack of targets your regen is significantly hampered
on st
if you actually follow the pandemic rule of envenom then theres almost no downtime due to lack of energy
especially with tea
I mean theres definitely downtime inbetween the envenoms, but not like 10 seconds of waiting like in s3 when you wanted to reset your chain
But ye it doesnt really matter as you keep the buff up anyway
i remember in bfa and SL starving for energy
I remember season 1 dragonflight forcing me to press envenom with nearly 4 seconds left on the buff just to avoid overcapping energy
and then I remember season 2 dragonflight doing the same thing
yep
and then I remember the rework going "hey yeah envenom uptime might be crazy high that's weird" and them nerfing it to try and curb the uptime
and then I remember logging into tww beta
and the uptime being near 100% again
THE CYCLE OF LIFE
Is there an updated bug list?
pins
Says content not available
The picture is in the message
mother fuck
discord timed it out again

piece of shit fucking app
there
should be back
We're almost at the 45 mark again 
Depending on build ofc but its like 48 or something last i checked
yah
i mean i said "mostly", high or low apm isnt the only factor (especially as its usually average) so while in the past it was lower context was also different, obviously this is extremely subjective but i just had negative experience going from s1/2 into s3 (despite raid being quite enjoyable) and i genuinely dont remember feeling as bad playing assa in the past
blizzard just actually has to go back to the drawing board with envenom
Well, might be known but I just noticed that using S&D on an ER combo point results in only a 23~ second buff
ye
ye
Its the same ER bug as the one with internal bleeding, and the one with darkest night
intended
Or wait nvm ye
no
ER is only damaging finishers
slice and dice just doesn't work on ER combo points
So it shouldnt work with snd
it definitely doesn't 
Very cool
Wow! I got a 98 parse for my first ever +16.. Let's gooo!
parsing in keys
oh i know
oh okay
still super pumped though
+16 is big
The orange color is pretty

It was my first 16 so just a proud moment! Orange color is great!
I parsed 62 for ilvl which is 521

Honestly proud of you man, lets go
keep pushing
royal <33
sin lvls up through campaign with ER right?
probably
no clue
you're out of your mind if you think I'm gonna try and waste time optimizing talents for 6 hours of cutscene-simulator every 2 years
I mean play the more comfortable thing then
hot take
doubble vanish is bis for questing
how would me telling you that something is 0.5% better make your leveling experience better
yeh that's reasonable
Its the validation, not the pecentages whispyr
that doesnt counter ER in any way though
dropping combat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> actual dps
imo its double vanish + tea
🤔
like unless you're some gigachad leveling speedrunner are you seriously gonna be chaining open world packs
that seems kinda bonkers
tea is good for the extra max energy
and double vanish for having two charges of dropping aggro
that does make sense ye
dropping aggro when you're solo questing 
thats my logic, i think er is good but the alternatives are more useful
ye, you never been aggro'd by random shit that you gota get away from
or pulled a pack and got the quest item with 3 mobs left
i think er rotates its cd pretty fast tbh it shouldnt be that much of a big deal
tea vs er
er is great, a hard hitting gen with chunky envs attatched
I'll tell you rn that the guide will be tea er deeper
im doing dogshit st
cook up ur own levelling build, it's fun
do with that what you will
do the damage you're doing, but more of it
ty for your support 🫶
that's my big pro tip
nah but like idk what the issue is without seeing logs or something
could also just be talent stuff
u maked me look like im a good rogue im doing hella dps on opener and packs and shit
bleed build is a bit behind in single target
but on st idk
yeah assa st isn't great atm
and if that isn't enough for you, you're out of luck
what do i change here to do more st and still with aoe
nothing
why are you playing deathstalker
that is the most single target
im just bad then
whyspyr told me
no, assa single target just isn't giga crank
i like to do the big envenoms
dont listen to german ppl they lie
like assa on beta slams keys because it does big aoe
the single target is lacking
single target is lacking in raids too
nothing to be done
No raid spots 😔😔
i did hear outlaw st is good 🪤

I do find it kinda funny though that everyone played basically full single target in mythic+ for season 3 and 4 because "aoe doesn't matter"
💀
And then they downtime and their st goes to marianna trench
but now that assassination aoe is huge and the single target sucks
now all of a sudden assassination is giga m+ spec

overall damage matters ^^
i mean
i remember assassiantion one tricks arguing that prio damage was the be and end all
but also not on subtlety even tho it did it better
fuu comin' in guns blazin'
yep
my point is not to say they are wrong, just that perspectives are diffrent
I'm ashamed to be one of them. Then I saw a 6M sudden demise proc and became a full blown bleedmaxxer
all of season 3 people played a raid build in single target for "big prio damage"
instead of taking scent of blood
which is easily a 10% gain for prio damage with no rotational change
bigger number better person and we might be some very esteemed individuals next patch
and what is considered right or wrong seems very subjective.
I think you ideally provide what your push group needs
Whispyrs point is that its the same people that say both of these things
With the same groups
like I don't mind if it's just "my overall damage is what I am and bigger details bar better" but at least admit that you're in that mentality ya know
Are you implying that things are more subjective than the streamer peoples lead me to believe?
you need a reason to keep playing what you like ^^
you don't have to try and gaslight people that you're some gigabrainer with the secret technology of how to time 100% of your keys
The secret trick to timing keys is to try them 20 times and one of the times youll win
m+ people are
i time all my keys whispyr
very stubborn
don't tell me to play in a way that might be more fun, I want my 0.1% dps
ret got giga aoe buffed
and st nerfed
and suddenly "Ret is more wanted for keys"
sin in same spot now
ret is trash
real
jsut sayin
doesnt help that streamers and notable m+ people here are shilling sin super aoe as m+
double vanish
HOGE
I mean lets just be real, at the end of the day people see a big details bar and don't give a shit about anything else
its sub or nothing for m+
yeah?
The restealth misinformation now that ass is being viewed as meta is infuriating and I’m just some random asshole that doesn’t even do anything meaningful for the spec community
now imagine showing the numbers on it for years and getting back "okay but XYZ plays it and he's doing +75's"
you know what to do:
Nice numbers nerd but did you even read the talents that say “from stealth”? Like c’mon big dog lock it in
these animals untalenting one of the strongest m+ utility points in the game for 1% extra dps

while at the same time dropping 5%+ dps by going double vanish

m+ is a mistake
yeah I mean you gotta take 5 steps back to take 1 step forward
Gotta break your knees to flop 2 steps forward
we out here playing QWOP
"yeah but 2 vanishes is soooooo valuable, you get double the in combat stealths!!!!!!"

i think you commented on it with max, but having the talent just give you a 1m cd would be nice

yeh, the talent doing literally anything would be nice 
problem is that 1 min vanish can't exist
because shadowdust

Subterfuge as a 2 point node than is dead for pve is certainly something
I'm overdosing copium that those 4 talents are placeholders and 11.0.5 will replace them
they just don't make any sense
which dev got roguebullied
what about a talent where, while in combat, stealth can be activated on a 1m cooldown
interesting concept
like the only usefull thing from subterfuge is that instead of ambush double garrote youll do double garrote ambush but even in that scenario dunno what is the point
does 4 include Shadowhearth?
Does fudge even let you be flexible when you apply mark? Or is that another talent that doesn’t interact with our hero talents?

honestly if they just deleted nightstalker and then left dance it's probably better than what we have now
subterfuge lets you ambush later if you'd like, sure
Like I’m not pogging in my pants over that, but it’s sooooomething
but you wouldn't want to anyway cause if you do like idk, gar er rupture ambush
you'd miss out on 1 stack of the mark
i didn't play at all in dragonflight, came back about a week ago and leveling and got some BIG 480 gear, so i haven't experience some of the changes much, but i like where sin is for the most part
so you'd have to gar ambush rupture if anything
which at that point why are we taking subterfuge?
so we can gar amb
instead of amb gar
huge
If the point was literally free then I would probably press >0 cheap shots over the course of the xpac, maybe
i mean 1 thing i can think of is when for some reason you get out of stealth you could ambush after few seconds dunno
yeah in a hypothetical where that happens and you don't have the capstone for some reason and your vanish isn't available
definitely useful
6sec stealth is for PvP. No more dance so we Can stun in stealth but longer cd
hey im jus sayin XD
make it a pvp talent then
on the nose
sadly

look at the chat yesterday
whisp explained problems
and all you saw was people screaming IT DOES DMG IN M+ BETA STOP COMPLAINING WTFFFFFFFF
guys i have Question for Nerub'ar Palace raid Assa will be good for progress?
looking at beta dmg is the biggest brainrot possible anyway lol
Mr Streamer gave you the meta crown and you DARE to ask for bug fixes and qol changes?? Impudent gnats
are you progressing in a top 200 guild?
yeah at least top 300
it will probably be fine, unless some kind of tuning passes happen to make it not fine
i was wondering cuz some1 showing me the Outlaw is the best atm for raiding
wherever you saw outlaw being the best for raiding needs to be avoided
honestly it's probably going to depend, but also remember you'll typically perform better on a spec you enjoy and understand most
even if outlaw sims higher (it doesn't), the fight design heavily effects the outcome of your dps
this though
yeah i totally agreed
big fan of play the spec you're good with regardless of spec
but yeah whoever told you outlaw is the best for raiding has a massive dent in their head
like I might still play outlaw for raid if the dps difference isn't massive
I can live with a ~10 to 15% dps loss
I'm not pushing HoF
I decided to swap to sub then
did outlaw until that boss
couldn't justify the dps diff, and I didn't like sin at the time
Same. During a trial in a guild and was replaced for being sin after 2 pulls

Yeah they said they thought I'd go sub.
If dust only affected dps cds i woulda. Having cloak for every intermission combo’d really nicely with me being a softshell crab brain
dodged a bullet with that one
if they're the type of guild to kick over something so minor
They continued to wipe on it for an hr. No time was lost on my end lol
yeah sounds like you definitely dodged a bullet
raids that wipe for an hour after pulling something like that aren't wiping b/c they don't have the damage
in my experience
This chat?
POV you’re Smolderon and you see my goofy dwarf ass cranking you without knowing wtf I’m doing
then it DOESNT matter
hope to see you play outlaw
why would i ever do such a thing to my wrists
It's like every other group. You got like 3 people never soaking orbs. Or dying to walking into fire. S3 was rough. Didn't really do much s4 because of it.
I tried another guild and got tindral. Fryak no go
Ez you just / and type the macro in
People came back when fryak was nerfed. ( the guild had people post out with tummy aches). So since I was new.. I was back to bench
The one that gets me is "I dont need that, just call my name" bruh
will Shadowmeld trigger Indiscriminate Carnage when out of stealth when the expac launchs? saw it didn't worked on Beta...
no
you have to go into stealth for shadowmeld to do anything of value
shadowmeld itself won't trigger improved garrote, shrouded suffocation, iron wire, or indiscriminate carnage
Is it a known bug or intended behavior that if you have Darkest NIght, and then you max combo point a new target that's low health, and that target dies, you now end up with no buff?
shit like that is why it's nice to play with 2x vanish tbh. That just happened to me in a key and then the tank chain pulls into a boss right after
would have had no ds buff for 2 minutes 😦
fair
yeah i didn't see it in that list
but i don't know if i'm just not reading the list right
idk considering that its impossible to keep fatebound buff up between packs, ds in keys seems like the only option
^
i don't actually know what specifically causes it, but it seems to be if the mob dies from my DN empowered envenom it just poofs away the buff
choose the lesser evil basically
I have a clip of it but idk where I'd upload it or if it'd be helpful lol
just very confusing
maybe I'm doing something wrong
who yall sub to casual addict or kush?
I like Kush
bro i got this prime sub to drop
kush plays assa?
has been playing assa yeah
Zero is my rogue 
He's alright
can you link any of the dps cds in a macro or is it best to just click them on sepret buttons ?
the only macro assa really has is the ussual "dmg pot with cd" or "trinket with cd"
new to rogue trying to learn but in m+ aoe what do i dump combos points with?
Any good guides to help get use to rotation feel so lost

for both of you: wowhead guide explains everything
is assa decent apm? idk I feel like when I watch pikaboo, play assa in pvp its like assa can be played fast. Is this false? 🙂
Well pvp is an entirely different thing
how so? You use a different build? that generally is faster?
It’s pretty fast in PvP I’d say especially to land cc combos you gotta be pretty quick on the old sticks and react fast to situations
Because you cant really track it in the same way, sometimes youll have high uptime and sometime you dont
If anything
In PvP
Getting restealths is hard habit to learn for new players. Like sometimes you legit just run away to a pillar and do nothing
ah okay kinda like subn with burst windows?
Just for improved garrotes and cheap shots
Yeah every 1 min you have a go with kingsbane and dbl shit
Shiv
In keys its quite fast with new the energy gen I’d say
Raid feels giga slow cause of pooling
nobody here really touches pvp
I wasnt asking for pvp. But have played a decent bit of it. Mostly sub though, came to pve due to 45 min SS queues.
If you want fast play outlaw 🙂
Well I do XD. But with loss of acro its gonna be hell playing dungeons
that was kinda why I asked if it was decently fast
i wonder if it's a reroll race angle
just in case law gets too horribler to play
the outlaw acro brainrot hits really hard huh
it hurts to not have it :CCC
sin is on the slower end in raid, in keys you have good enough energy in aoe but again on st it slows down
okay I see
people be calling this assa slow 😦
I dont raid much tbh
that sounds incredibly niche but I believe it
Hey yo I see Kush opening with ambush instead of garrote while mobs are grouping in m+ why ambush to start?
deathstalker probably
ok ty
its been slower in the past yeah, but still compared to modern wow specs it is on the slower end
yeah it's the beta I'm watching
Well I hope that we get some sort of acro back, but if its just too miserable ill just hop onto assa
feels like it happens to me all the time though
i have two clips from one key!! lmao
yeah i guess don't do that 😦
idk how you're so precisely killing the mobs with that exact envenom that has darkest night
like that's gotta be some sort of hidden power
but yeah that bug probably can't be fixed
the only way they could change it would be to apply the mark first, but if they apply the mark first then the envenom lands after and consumes a stack of the newly applied mark
that doesn't work
Is there anything out there for talent builds while leveling in TWW? or is it just M+ builds to 80?
i'm just trying to get that last darkest night off for mega dam
just play whatever yeah
yeah well stop it 
😦 fine
maybe then i can play er
the fuck have you been playing instead of er
umm
this nightmare will never end
look it's a skill issue
i need the wheel chair extra vanish
but if i can keep the damn debuff off now that i figured out what i'm doing wrong maybe i have evolved
to the next level

what if they made subterfuge actually good 
people would play double vanish cause QoL or smth but didnt talent acro and complained about the dps loss for it
Any of you guys notice the influx of assassination rogues running prepatch keys? is it cuz we got buffed? Also a bunch of affliction warlocks too it's so random lol
Also did we even get buffed yet I thought that was whenever the xpac drops. my damage does seem pretty spicy though
not random, assa is currently doing very high aoe and people talk a lot about it so sheep will follow eachother
I c i c. Maybe a nerf by the time mythic rolls out in new xpac? Idk why they'd want the class they put the least work into hero talents with to be doing the best dps lol
I don't think there's an argument to be made that our hero trees are all pretty uninspired, and the buffs we have gotten seem to be pretty lazy just paving over the actual issues
the expac hasn't even started yet
i think everyone that has played assa before is expecting nerfs
thats how it is normally when assa is doing well
It honestly seems like the logical conclusion based on the fact that they probably want the classes whose hero talents pack the most pop and visual flare to be the most prominent during tww s1. just a guess though idk we'll see
hey yall do you doule stack shiv in kingsbane or wait for timer
I doubt they take the visual flair into account when balancing
Double stack during kb I believe is still the right thing to do
depends what he means, cause by the way he phrased it he might mean pressing shiv twice in a row
they dont stack
DM -> shiv -> kb -> 7sec left on kb shiv again -> thistle tea at three seconds for mastery buff but maybe that's not as important anymore because of kb cap nerf....some people say vanish during last three seconds but yeah....since stuff is changing maybe it'll change? but i'm still following shiv kb at 7 seconds shiv again then thistle tea and dps is good
what?
😦
have i missed a lesson
tea isn't attached to kingsbane anymore

neither is vanish
there is no "cast X at __ remaining on kingsbane"
that's not a thing
i swear i read tea at the end of kb in dm only
When do you use thistle tea then?
during shiv if you're under 200 energy
Okay so you only use thistle tea during shiv but only use shiv during kb so therefore you're still thistle teaing only during dm/kb but no longer tied to the time in the window for the mastery buff?
correct
there's no hard timing for it
it's just energy + mastery during shiv
regardless of when that happens
gotcha 🫡 ty
usually that means during DM you only tea once, sometimes not at all if you're in lust
In aoe should I hit 2x rupture from the thing that gives me back cps or use the refunded cps on something else
There are times where you shiv for pure AP value, right? Did I read that somewhere?
and during non-dm kingsbanes there's times where you can even double tea
but it has nothing to do with any kingsbane values
whatever you need to use, can be rupture or envenom or crimson tempest
up to you king
but first tea is in dm kb even with lust to put it in cd?
it's combo points, finisher rules apply like normal
That’s what I was thinking ty BBy
yes
That talent is so tasty
with arterial precision only
I was doing keys tonight n ugh it was nice
if you have arterial precision and you're in AoE, you tea with shiv regardless of energy
I just hope they let us be good for the xpac man. I wasn’t gonna play the way rogue was 2 weeks ago but it seems to be okay now
All I wanna do it pump
Any one else getting the itch
I have psoriasis so always
Why is ER not listed in the opener for the recommended M+ build in AOE packs? Do you ignore it on more than like 3 mobs because FOK generates enough CP anyway?
Cos it’s not in the talent tree
nah, it's cause I forgor 
huh it's definitely in the tree
the images I'm adding into the guides will have it
For prepatch tho?
ah ok ok thx whispyr
it just replaces a mut/fok
its in the wowhead opener
Whis remember in vault you did the cute wee cartoon images of the openers
yes
Pleasssseeeeee
guide images waiting room
Aw shit
That’s ma boi
Also I didn’t know you were a mechanic. Do you specialise in a brand of cars?
better specialization that assassination
Fuck u eleem u creeper weirdo
real
The parts about pooling look significantly more complicated than s3/4 pooling, is that actually the case or will it likely make more sense once I’m actually pressing the buttons?

based
@mods im getting cyberbullied
i'm going to try er in a key now wish me luck, no vanish crutch for me
If I can keep my cool
“Onto Outlaw…..” states a disheveled Whispyr.
did max ever explain what spooked him
turn your PC off
Have you thought about contacting the cyber police?
@balmy condor Max intentionally gave you no time to talk about rogue SMH. Colluding with blizz to keep our class bad.
Whispyr was probably the guy that spoke the most xD
I had to do 3 specs!
WHILE BEING AT WORK
I found that really funny
meanwhile his twitch chat was talking mad shit the entire time lmao
Yeah everyone hates rogues for some reason. But I don’t think any of them have actually seen one in game.
they don't like me much for some reason
I see the hate comments and I'm like wow this dude is angry as hell
but I've never seen the name in my life
You made good use of the time given to you. If guy was on it woulda been an hour complaining about shadow dust. An hour complaining about outlaw. Then sin as a side note. 
and I'm like
dont worry, nobody likes me either, it comes naturally with being a rogue main

i think they dont like rogue
like who are these people
Find it weird chat hates rogue more than mage and aug
Man you are triple their age of course there is some disconnect
but if jpc came on he could say ANYTHING and hed be liked, he could speak about monk or something and theyd like it
They were almost silent during those sections
Why you dont do 2 Garottes at the beginning? Thats 6 CP and a larger better garrote 🤔
idk if thats good or bad
less damage
having people below 10yo on twitch
whispyr is 23 or smth
25*
basically dead
close enough pookie
one foot in the grave
Why would the chat full of mage players hate on mage 
Whisper prob one of the youngest on that stream actually
I tend to see alot of rogue players are younger actually
And he shotguns energy drinks
A lot of new heads
Ok thats weird then
most don't last
unless people (like me) really like the "rogue" theme around the class fantasy, why would you play a class thats somewhat difficult instead of picking up ret and pressing everything that shines and pops up and doing more dmg?
idk, I just show up and do the best I can to spread the knowledge and entertain and that's all I can do
has rogue historically been one of the lowest represented classes? other than maybe when lego daggers were a thing?
my composition professor always had a saying before his students put on a concert
yes
You gotta beat max on the “I love you” next time. Most important part of the stream.
Rogue has been one of the least played classes in the game
that the worst thing an audience member could have isn't hate, it's indifference
i echo this sentiment, can't let him keep getting away with it
if the audience hated the performance, they at least took the time to internalize it and form an opinion
so at least they were paying attention
whispyr i feel like you did a really good job speedrunning all 3 specs, though I don't have a lot of context from dragonflight, just from reading the discords and stuff, you did great
As a theater student , This ^
thank you
I had near 0 time to prepare

good thing you have a lot of knowledge
whispyr was better than what rogue had before!
When you said you were at work I was wondering if you were on your phone with nothing in front of you just ripping thoughts from your head and speed running it.
you said something about acro, so now all outlaw players love you
I had to do it for the boys

yup LOL
tbh acro would be nice in general, for all specs (i only ever remember it for outlaw)
Whispyr now loved by yellow boys
I read like the cliffnotes zac gave me and then when max called I just went off the dome for 20 minutes and he beat me to the love you bye and I was pissed and my guild shit on me
well if outlaw went more gunslinger like whisper said hed like, then the lack of acro would be a bit better
deserved
no offense but you definitely dropped the ball on that one
L
shoulda been faster smh
update: this was indeed true
queue it up faster i guess
he won't see it coming
amazing, talents that give dps means doing more dps
mind blowing
next time I'm gonna put the thing on the tier list and then insta fire a "okay love you bye"
mark my words
he won't even have time to thank me
"Max: So today we have Whispyr with us, hi Whispyr, how is rogue looking now in TWW?
Whispyr: Love you bye!"
gottem
if only a certain popular streamer wouldnt push an agenda

okay
but stealth?
??????
important?
why do more damage if less stealth
no make sense
ok new bug: when the phase transition in grim batol happens the ds bug disappears
there's 4 talents on the spec tree that require stealth
without a trace is a 4 point investment
coincidence?
expac in 4 days, deathstalker seems fine
i honestly have 0 idea how hero talents work
i was fine with deathstalker until you brought up that the first boss of mist will delete it and it made me mald again
that's the neat part, they dont
😄
for coin flip, as an example, does it alter your gameplay at all? or does it just exist, and you might get 7 in a row and a -perma- stat buff?
yes
it be existing
🙂
I'm gonna do a secret lil teaser don't tell anyone, but it's worse than that 
fantastic gameplay
heroic fantasy bro
ngl, i watched a wow promotional video and i got jealous of what the other classes got for hero talents
you just dont get it
what if blizzard just fixed their shit
impossible
no no you play fatebound in the mists where ds sucks
nvm you literally cant keep in buff in the maze
yeah no
last boss siege I managed to lose my capstone as well
tbh i think ds in keys is really fun
what's the potential for coins in a super long, high key, where you never left combat for more than 10 seconds (not necessarily reasonable, but what's the ceiling)
wdym
does multiple 7 in a row stack more statS?
no
the stats are one time
if you manage to flip 7 in a row again at any point while you have the stats up
it does some damage instead
ahhh gotcha
from my testing that extra damage happens 2-3 times a key
makes sense to not be completely broken in certain situations
maybe if you chain like a god you can get it 6-7 times idk
like if you're just dragging the entire dungeon
yeah
I can see it proccing 6+ times
but I was just doing kinda lower learner keys
and it was 0.2% of my overall damage
and didn't matter for shit
it's mostly a raid thing I think
but even then it's not really anything
i wonder how the dev talk went when they decided on the coin as a **hero **talent for rogue
hey whisp, can i be a annoying PoS before going to bed :?
you're already here
LOL

😦
i need a good plater profile
!wa
Assassination Weakauras/Plater profiles:
Whispyr's Afenar Edit
Luxthos's Group
LE's Group
LE's Rogue Collection
Devlin's Group
Ceverion's Plater
Whispyr's Plater
Pooling Practice Tool
is writing "its poopohead" enough?
the next week is gonna be hell
OH i didn't realize plater was in the wa command 
need to make sure youtube co-streaming works, then expac launch, youtube guides and shit for launch, update wa, update plater
then blizzard probably pushes some hotfixes
No worries, thats why the commands are there so we can easily help people
that wreck half the shit I spent the last 3 weeks doing
but then also ignore the big bugs like ER
are you going to start dual streaming to yt?
yeh
nice
might as well
i SOMEWHAT get the idea behind it
like, we know that weird cliche of "guy leaning against the wall, doing some smart talk and flipping a coin while explaining stuff" thing, which is probs the "idea" behind it
and, well, lets be honest, they didnt really think much about quiet a few classes about the "hero talents" and just picked the First idea somebody had and called it a day
yes, I've been saying this for years
it's way way better
Chat functionality is worse but I don't care about that
i like that you can go back and rewatch a portion instantly in the same viewer
only thing i use stream chats for is to ask streamers questions
my favorite is you can just hit the live button and it'll instantly skip forward to the current up to date
My primary followship of media is youtube and youtube streams, so when someone is only twitch it's me going out of my way to watch them
on twitch you pause for like 5 seconds
and it's DOOMED
gotta reload the whole page
well the thing is
and then suffer through adds again
Even if there was a lagtime or delay with yt going to live
who cares
it's a vod
just go backwards
i guess, thats a pretty low bar theme though
yeah but like for me, I'm in the marcelian stream pretty frequently answering questions and stuff they have
but if I step away
and I'm like 25 seconds behind
it's awful
Once you are on the stream ye, but finding new streams to watch is hard
so I have to keep reloading the twitch page over and over and over
just swap to double speed on the live feed, you'll catch up in 25seconds
and not miss a beat
that's not a thing on twitch is it
i watch youtube nearly exclusively on at least 1.5x
> while in the player increases speed as a keybind tip
I've never seen that
there are a couple thematic bangers, but so many are really weird at best, or just stupid asspulls at worst
archon priest doing big "YOU ASCEND INTO A HIGHER FORM" talk, and then its "halo is stronger" lol
yeah youtube is fine
but then you're not in the livestream
catching up to twitch livestream
cause twitch player is doodoo
is cringe
I mean suffer is a strong word
I figured it'd just count as normal time for watchtime
wait does increasing watch speed actually affect watch metrics?
yes
that's wild
not really though
I mean I'm giving you premium viewership buckaroos so w/e
youtube is in the business of keeping you on their platform
for as long as possible
that's fair
if you watch a 20 minute video in 10 minutes
just means i can watch more videos
that's 10 minutes for youtube
they don't care that you just sped up a 20 min video
they care that you spent 10 minutes on their platform
man grim batol sucks
yeh when you go to bed, put my video up on loop at 0.25x speed
to hyperinflate the videos watch time
good thing we'll have to target farm trinkets from the worst two dungeons
and then the algorithm will think the video is doing big numbers
but yeah
can watch this
This Video breaks youtube! How you might ask? Well the 2024 youtube algorithm is a unique creature with many fun exploits and algorithm glitches that allow us to manipulate it for extreme results. One such manipulation is watchtime! This is a great way for youtube to see if a video is clickbait or so interesting people watch it for longer potent...
it explains how it works
I tried keeping a video on loop ages ago. Eventually the views stopped counting.
it's especially crazy cause he says the average watch time is 6 min
which is 600% retention
my retention usually hovers around 35-45%
if I put out a 10 min video, average viewer is gone in 4 min typically
and surprisingly, that metric actually keeps up
28 min video gets around 9 min
lots of graphs and stuff it's honestly fascinating
mythic+ videos also get on average higher retention than any other video I release
Whispyr I watch your videos 10 times to make up for those mfers that leave after 4 mins I love u bwo
No homo
regardless of what exactly I'm talking about, if I have chapters in the video, what the title says, if I have a thumbnail or not
thumbnail usually raises the impression click through rate and gets more people to watch
but the statistics per viewer hardly waver
me homo
My fav type of video is when the content creator keeps including whatever hes talking about in the screen, like: (and no im not being sponsored) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ-j2cDvebY
During the discussions of removed abilities in WoW it’s often the case an archetype of a class was gutted for being too unbalanced, unfun, or just doesn’t fit a class anymore. In this video we’re going to go over the top ten druid abilities that have been removed, rating them on the scale of how fun they were to use, their usefulness, and why th...
its not about being a top10
its how he presents info
I edited some of the earlier videos
and then I released some that weren't edited as much and just had me yapping
and people seemed to much prefer that
The yapping ones?
now, I'm also an awful video editor don't get me wrong
but yapping for 20 minutes vs yapping for 20 minutes and then editing for 3 hours
yeah true
seems like a good deal to me
also no one has noticed that I'm basically copying ludwigs mogul mail setup where he just opens 25 tabs and then talks through them

sshhhhshhhshshshshhh
Lool. Im honestly quite experienced in the game and able to quick recognise abilities and talents when you talk about them, so i barely need to keep attention to the video itself, but if i have no idea what you're talking about, visual help is usually a +1 to keep me invested
yeah I like having a talent calc or a sim open to hover over stuff
idk
maybe I just get better at video editing
but who's got the time for that
Not you certainly xD
I touched grass today.
My condolences
I usually have to watch a video 2-3 times to actually understand things and then watch it again most to make sure I can ask Whispyr dumb questions that he already covers and I missed it cause I didn’t completely understand it which makes me cringe
That’s what I’m here for
🙂
Is there a video up or are we just discussi g the algorithm?
Found it.
Nope. Two weeks old. I was fooled.

Hopes up. Immediate disappointment.
so are assassination rogues actually S tier or are people just making shit up
they're hyping it up cause the AoE is really good right now
just brainlets pogging about numbers
Turns out if you buff a spec by 15%, the numbers get quite good
LOL so then it is S tier or it isn't?
And then they could turn around and do the opposite next week
Because tuning right now is a meme
Tiers are dumb, especially during beta
I don't fucking know dude lmao
wake up next week spec -3% and everyone will go back to saying it's unplayable
Not even, they could just buff outlaw a bit and people would be frothing at the mouth and saying "assa dead, outlaw new king"
-3% its so over
Who knows what will happen
literally what happened in amirdrassil btw
hahah damn

lmao I forgot about that
THE SECOND BUFF WAS SO UNNECESSARY WHY DID BLIZZARD KILL THE SPEC!!!!!!!!!!!!
people thinking they can play both specs at 100% is the real joke 
S tier until heroic week

just maybe not have us be a pi spec !

the slight damage nerf is exactly why sub started to see more play yep real and true

Go back to finding based Luna, kthx
Or when they increased exsangs CD from 45 seconds to 180 seconds 

just for it to be bugged the whole time the tier after 
Catching strays fr
AI is a mistake

almost good!
its kinda fun to mess around with
Y’all think assa getting nerfed
in a perfect world the aoe probably getting tuned down and the single target tuned up
but who knows
ask your crystal ball
youre the crystal ball dummy
shit
ponder your orb lil bro
mars attack is on
those aliens are so freaky, i can see why i had nightmares of em as a kid
I can’t figure out sub
Some are just natural doms. Find yourself the right goth girl. It helps.
But also. You're not alone. It's not very intuitive until it clicks
