im gonna miss my snd button

warped moon
#

i am deprioritizing it for sure

warped moon
#

are there use cases for keeping it? snd before pull or sth?

novel star
#

you can use your shit if youre rich as hell but you will be replacing it in a week no matter what you craft

#

so be aware that it is literally a waste of gold so you can have bis gear for 1 week in content that doesnt matter

there's a chance it wont even be bis by the time raid comes out because theyre still tuning stuff

FUTURE PTR UPDATES

Video
Again, these are not live changes, these are 11.0.5 changes coming in a future patch down the road

Thrill Seeking

  • This presumably replaces the shadowstep talent on the class tree, so no change for us, still 2 charges of shadowstep

Thistle Tea

  • Auto procs under 50 energy. Lowkey kinda makes our gameplay more difficult because we will most likely want to avoid proccing this, but for ye average casual carl this is pretty goated for removing a button

Cut to the chase

  • Slice and Dice removed I guess

Soothing/Echoing/Flag

  • Whatever

Fatebound

  • Tooltip changes for the most part (edge case stuff already is live
  • delivered doom change makes it scale better into AoE but nothing insane here

Twist the Knife

  • My brain hurts man what
  • First impression is probably not too impactful.... In theory can be really good for burst and more amp poison during deathmark, faster kingsbane ramping. But then you have to also recognize that kingsbane is still capped and while envenom uptime is like 96%, this doesn't actually give us more envenom uptime, it just shifts it into shiv windows.
  • So it's a dps gain in the regard of giving dps instead of dpm, slowing us down outside of burst.
  • Can be good in mythic+ maybe, especially with dashing giving energy back, but there's anti-synergy with thrown precision there.
  • This is in addition to the +2 second envenom duration, so we'll see how that shakes out, but sounds good on first glance for burst

Maybe they are top ilvl players because they HAVE the dagger

i keep meaning to ask whispyr a dumb question about plater and then thinking i should just go do a dungeon instead and answer my own question but im eating chicken so that's too hard

flint tusk

#

i wish i was eating chicken.....

balmy condor
#

and the changes got datamined time to already edit the pin

covert snow
#

if my guild pushes mythic raiding, if i dont drop the mythic dagger on 2nd boss, should i craft dagger to 636 ? (assuming i farmed crests on m+) or just keep a fully maxed heroic dagger ?

mild silo
#

horde or alliance?

terse island
#

But but but... What will I put where slice and dice was 💀

balmy condor
#

think its called writhing binding or some shit

sudden brook
#

Are the sin changes eating?

balmy condor
#

99% kinda whatever

sudden brook
#

They all seem like just imrovements no?

orchid cedar
#

no ST bufs sad

quaint spindle
#

So thistle is still an active now just with a passive to auto proc am I reading these data mind changes right

sudden brook
#

No more snd LFG

balmy condor
#

don't have to slice and dice on pull, fatebound numerical buff, twist the knife rework that is kinda hard to tell what the hell it's gonna do but is probably good

#

and then like

#

bunch of whatever

marble hemlock
#

when they announced SnD returning

#

where's ER bug fix feelscryman

marble hemlock
#

as a "iconic rogue ability"

#

and within 2 expansions

Ahh yo that motorbike mount though

why did they remove the tea

#

i want my tea back

It is not removed

the tea change is kinda whatever

yeha but it will passively trigger

you just force yourself to be above 50

it is kinda crazy to call snd an iconic rogue ability cause its kinda always been a chore

the thistle tea change is not good its fucking ass

doesn't that just mean we only press it in the opener tho

I'm going to bed Good luck Whispyr

it will just auto consumer after 45 seconds of the fight

orchid cedar
#

outlaw changes look like legit buffs

marble hemlock
#

cant wait to have to carefully manage my energy to not drop below 50 energy while not going above 150 energy cause either one of them is a DPS loss

marble hemlock
#

this is

#

such an unnecessary and stupid change

flint tusk

to thistletea

lmao

#

who asked for this?

tame nymph
balmy condor
#

yes

noble pagoda
#

super casuals who cannot fathom havign one more button to press idk

pliant terrace
tame nymph
#

at LEAST it's 50 energy value, and not 50% total energy

#

I misread it at first. 50 value is much more managable than 50%

noble pagoda
#

it‘s still going to be annoying

surreal citrus
#

still dumb

orchid cedar
#

it's unnecessary

#

for no reason

noble pagoda
#

I mean chances are they‘ll reverse it still right?

gusty kestrel
#

hear me out perhaps we gate that behind some sort of opt in mechanic blizzard, thoughts on not fucking over people who have more than 15 apm

tame nymph
#

I see it mostly bugging tf out of me in pvp more than anything. It would just slow down our burst a tiny bit to avoid dipping, right? I'm sure we can get a WA made to show if our envenom would dip is below 50 or not so we don't wiff

marble hemlock
#

so wanting to prune that, okay

#

but like

noble pagoda
#

no

marble hemlock
#

why

warped moon
#

no!

noble pagoda
#

because not every spec needs to be pruned into having three buttons

marble hemlock
#

idk this is just kinda mindboggling

#

but hey

#

go to the forums and complain

#

its like what

#

2 more months

noble pagoda
#

snd was awkward and unfun, thistle tea was actually nice to press

marble hemlock
#

until 10.0.5 anyway

nocturne quail
#

deathstalker bugs confirmed actual features

warped moon
#

wait im new, whats the dps loss for having over 150 energy

novel star
#

ya theres no way this change lasts a week with any feedback

#

its so bad

tame nymph
#

(i'm not advocating for this change at all, I also think it's dumb)

id accept the tea change if they fix deathstalker

but not before that

is this Crimson Tempest change just a tooltip update?

#

Uuuuuhm

prisma monolithBOT

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.

  • No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
  • 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
  • You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target

you are supposed to be energy starved on single target

As someone with turbo adhd and has always struggled with energy management this tea change terrifies me KEKWait

I’m just thinking how annoying a dragon rogue would be in pvp with a glide and double jump 😅

just put the tea on cd in sync with your burst so you don‘t have to think about it anymore smart

Thats just how dps works tho

#

everyone has burst windows or ramps

So are we just not gonna click it then??

nova aspen

we need a tea command already

i just took icehud off and was trying to ween myself into using the normal people energy bar and this is probably gonna spook me back into using icehud again to stare at my bars

that's just sin rogue. you have giga burst windows on ur 2min cds and in between them you are focused solely on buff/bleed maintenance

I hate the tea change

noble pagoda

prisma monolithBOT

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
  • While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

itll click it for u if it goes under 50

theyre just making it a passive

It’s still around as an option right?

outlaw rogue is just a REDUNDANT PHRASE

That crackshot change for outlaw is so nice to have ngl

marble hemlock

#

For the wowhead notes, are the CT changes just a tooltip update?

marble hemlock
#

feels like

#

theres not one person so far who said they like it kekdog

mild silo
#

is questing with alliance different than it is for horde? like if me and my buddy both start at lvl 1 but ones horde and other is alliance would there be any issues with that?

novel star
versed mica
#

Crackshot casts a small dispatch, therefore proccing snd

marble hemlock
#

but discord is also a very small group of the rogue playing community ig

nova aspen
#

why would they make us play even more around envenom uptimes then force us to use tea

#

it doesnt make sense

novel star
#

so the real shit is outlaw has even less of an opener

warped moon
#

this discord is pretty fun

flint tusk
warped moon
#

omg?

noble pagoda
#

its a lot more fun than some other class discords

raven egret
#

ok so slice and dice passive is nice, thistle tea change is... I have no idea wtf it is, of all the issues that could've been tackled, that was definitely not one of them

warped moon
#

it is maybe intended for more casual players but it is kind of weird

Is uh, is the CT change on wowhead just a tooltip update? Has anyone had a chance to compare live vs ptr values?

bold moss

flint tusk
#

You know it’s not a passive

severe sparrow
#

isnt anyone who needed help pressing tea just gonna slam through all 3 stacks of their tea automatically and then be back at square one of no energy?

flint tusk
#

It’s still an ability just that it also procs automatically

sullen mural
#

Yeah I know what automatic means, and I don't want it

slate crown
#

I don't what does it mean?

sullen mural
#

Let me manage my teas on my own ffs

marble hemlock
#

we currently use tea alongside shiv for the mastery, not necessarily the energy. so having it randomly be consumed when you hit sub50 outside of CDs is not it, and not using it with shiv/kb at all times is not a good play either

steady owl
#

you'll still want to track tea though right? And try to align it with other cds? Not sure if like

flint tusk
ashen rover
#

mfw i search for ER and when i find it, they are changing the icon

just make tea changes a toggle ffs

that change won't make it live

sullen mural

i mean

becouse it makes no sense

marble hemlock
#

it is always in your hands

#

you dont lose energy unless you press a button that costs it

ashen rover
proud pelican
#

just make it a choice node auto proc/on use gg

raven egret
#

it makes absolutely no sense, sorry, but overdoing it on the 50+ energy maintenance is ridiculous

marble hemlock

so dropping below 50energy is 100% in the players control. its just really awkward to have to fucking pay attention to it

besides tea isnt it nice?

not having to hardcast snd is at least nice for aoe as well

or open world shit

fatebound change is nice too

although i do think its kind of hilarious how the sbs change basically gave us the free snd cast we needed on pull

and now its not needed anymore

So like overlapping envenom effects means... what we go from 30% additional proc chance per stack? up to 3 times?

marble hemlock

good show to grow up with

does that mean they even pandemic anymore?

marble hemlock
#

doubt it

slate crown

theyll just have their own separate durations

It doesn't seem obvious to me though

What does pooling even look like if using ttk

flint tusk
#

That’s what whispyr is here to find out :p

slate crown
#

I keep forgetting it's with ttk, not a baseline change

marble hemlock
#

think whispyr is gonna pretend to be blissfully unaware of this proposed change for at least a while

flint tusk
#

5 stacking envenom the new strat.

#

1cp envenoms bis

marble hemlock
#

im having a hard time seeing ttk becoming a viable alternative to whatever our weakest talent is at that point

ebon notch
#

Whispyr sick that day

marble hemlock
#

couldnt they just have made ttk make envenom deal more damage or smth

#

like

#

the fuck is this stacking

ebon notch
#

Stacking is gonna be sick

marble hemlock
#

whats the problem that is being solved

#

or what interesting gameplay does it enable

slate crown
#

I have no idea

ebon notch
#

Fuck pooling gimme infinite whatever stacking gives

#

I will proc all of my tea charges in 5 seconds

flint tusk
#

So how much damage will KB do if you can max stack it in the first few ticks with 5 stacks of envenom.

ebon notch
marble hemlock
#

if i cast 2 7second envenoms, would i event want to overlap them for x seconds of double benefits, instead of just waiting to clip them for maximum duration

#

like

flint tusk
#

5 stacking for Kingsbane calling it

ebon notch
#

Surely you just stack them

marble hemlock
#

why

ebon notch
#

And then get infinite feedback loop of energy regen

flint tusk
#

Totally not doing this to make whsipyr’s brain go into overdrive

balmy condor

And you play minigame of maintaining enough stacks to maintain the stacks

Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on envenom

  • For Fatebound, sanguine blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
  • For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play vicious venoms instead of sanguine blades as well.

The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.

slate crown
# marble hemlock why

Like is the stacking from envenom +application chance additive / multiplicative? Does it heavy DR if you reach 100% poison chance? or do you even reach it? Some of these questions may be unanswerable now and may need to be tested

marble hemlock
#

id assume its just additive

flint tusk
#

Will always be additive

ebon notch
#

Just get PI and lust

#

And ascend

#

Then drop off extremely hard

marble hemlock
#

dont have to, my details has "always show me" active

raven egret
#

I mean additive or not it sounds way too wonky and complicated for absolutely no reason, no?

flint tusk
slate crown
ebon notch
#

Out here doing solo raids goddamn

flint tusk
#

We’re free from the unholy curse of s3

marble hemlock
#

i mean, the feedback loop is prolly supposed to be more poison damage (which frankly kind of sucks right now) and offer a playstyle opposite to SB; where you just pump and dump envenoms as much as you can, get poison procs which then give more energy due to having multiple envenoms up via dashing etc.

ok so feedback #1 - tea change is really dumb

So why not make snd passive at this point

cut to the chase does the exact same thing, add 3 seconds. it just doesnt require the buff to be up in advance

#

so snd is a passive

whats the idea behind twist the knife change? we pool 299 energy and then dump as many envenoms as we can? and then we wait an hour to get back to 300 again? im not sure if im reading that change right

or lethality and MA having same icon

etc.

slate crown
whole sand
#

this ain't bingo no more

potent dawn
novel star
slate crown
#

The only thing that was like "yeah makes sense" is dust is dead

novel star
#

cause you actually see them on the bar and hit them and the thing your character does in response to the active is inconsistent with the design of the icon

slate crown
#

and maybe the SnD change is on the bingo card

#

Nothing else tho

novel star
#

again, it doesnt really matter but it matters slightly more than changing the icon of a passive

limber lion

okay, giga ttk explanation time (probably deserves a video in of itself honestly)

What's the problem?

  • We have near 100% envenom uptime (I'm just gonna say 100% for easy explanation), and that's going to either cause overcapping of envenom buff (likely), or energy (not likely)

So What does TTK "solve" then?

  • We can turn any overcapped envenom into pure additive bonuses (like ironfur). So instead of 30% poison chance, we can do 60%, instead of 10% envenom damage from rapid injection, it's 20%, instead of 5% weapon poison crit from dashing it's 10% crit on poison. And instead of overcapping envenom uptime, we don't.

Okay so lets do like an example here. During Shiv right now, you're applying (again, rough averaged numbers) around 3 poisons a second for 8 seconds is 24 poisons. To note, poison chances are additive while DTB is a multiplier, so imp poison + base is 35 x0.7dtb is 24.5%, and envenom would then add 30% x0.7 = +21% for a total of 45.5% right? So then a second of envenom would add another 21% for a total of 66.5% chance

Aighty now that we covered that basis, lets try and make sense of things. Lets say you're in shiv, during deathmark, and you have 10 stacks of amp poison. You envenom does 100 damage, shiv is 130, amp is 175.5, second amp is 236.9. Before, you would then also have rapid injection on top for total of 260.6, but you're spamming envenom and clipping the duration anyway, so now it's 20% instead so you're doing 284.3 damage. So that's another 9%ish buff to envenom, during cds. (They're all multipliers so it's 9% for non amp-poison envenoms too).

Okay so that's pretty good. But then lets consider something like kingsbane. If you're applying 3 poisons a second with your current envenom, lets reverse that out. Right now that's with a 45.5% chance, so we can do some quick math, not gonna bore you, 4.4 poisons a second. SO WHAT DOES THAT DO. Well instead of 30 stacks of kingsbane in 10 seconds, that's 44 stacks. That's good. Instead of 24 poisons in a shiv it's 35. And if we run dashing, instead of like 35% crit chance on those poisons it's 40%. blah blah blah crit chance is damage, crit chance is energy, small stuff whatever poisons do more damage, more procs, more kingsbane, more damage

So what's that mean for gameplay at the end of the day?

Given we're kinda just empty inside without cds, this is just strict KB/Env/Poison buff during shiv, and then probably just ignore outside of shiv. I wouldn't be surprised to see like pooling before a shiv to 70%ish, envenom into the shiv like we do with deathmark, all that jazz

on an unrelated note, if youve ever noticed (like i have) that your nameplates seem to shimmer or move in a stuttering way i just realized they are subject to windows scaling (interpretted as text) and if your scale factor is not integer (200,400%) then it has a non even number or horiztontal vs verticals pixels which causes the judder. you can fix it by setting scaling to gpu, no scaling with override game ticked in nvcp. u can still scale windows up but the game will render all elements correctly
