simming more than playing

clever sapphire
#

im not raiding so i dont care about all buffs sim šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

steel ridge
#

if you wouldnt sim so much and actually grind grim batol

#

you wouldnt have to worry about that shitty trinket :b

maiden sierra
#

...

#

I have 2700 score...

#

I did a LOT of grim batols lol

clever sapphire
#

aye i only have 12 grim batol runs or so, but its so feckin hard to get into it i just hope for vault loot or whatever dracthyr_kek

steel ridge
#

what ilvl is that serum thingy?

clever sapphire
#

its from delves

#

so hc max, aka 626

steel ridge
#

so vault 626

#

or map if you get lucky

maiden sierra
#

I got it through map

clever sapphire
#

isnt map also only hc loot

#

i thought you couldnt get myth loot from delves

maiden sierra
#

Its not mythic

steel ridge
#

map is 1/6 hc

maiden sierra
#

626 is max heroic

clever sapphire
#

ah i misunderstood smth mb

#

anyways, i would still take skardyns @maiden sierra if its only a 2k dps difference

#

unless its gonna be like 3-4% im not touching a cast time trinket

#

nor a minigame

steel ridge
#

thats like a 0,2% difference or what not

clever sapphire
#

yap

#

3.8k was 0.5%

cerulean compass
#

I got this in +8 but I died some times, do you see anything wrong ? šŸ¤”

#

Hey man, my guilds othet rogue is cracked, anything to not get benched xla

i need to share my pain

#

@balmy condor boss need your input for this one too

frigid pilot
#

What’s the best way to word it for the peanut brain tanks doin 10s to not chain pull at 1% hp left with a sin rogue in group

clever sapphire
#

you cant, stand back, wait for the mob to die and for you to drop combat

frigid pilot
maiden sierra
frigid pilot
#

Which puts me in infinite combat

maiden sierra

#

!up

clever sapphire
#

well in that case link iron wire in the chat

vocal minnow
clever sapphire
#

and tell him infinite silence

frigid pilot
#

I link them carnage

clever sapphire
#

maybe he will wait that 1 sec

#

nah thats dps, and they dont care about dps

frigid pilot
#

Still doesn’t work lol

clever sapphire
#

i barely use vanish in keys so not sure what tanks you guys have dracthyr_kek

frigid pilot
#

Just annoying af

clever sapphire
#

but also

#

!stealth

frigid pilot
#

Are you eu

clever sapphire

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.

That’s why

Na tanks are garbage

kindred elm
# clever sapphire !restealth

I think this would apply to ā€œnormal chain pullingā€ tho. That shit that pug tanks do when mobs have 2% hp is just bad play I’d say

clever sapphire
#

oh ye it is, but still its not that big of a loss as people seem to think

#

does it hurt? yes

#

would it feel better if they waited that 1 sec? yes

frigid pilot
#

Benefits nothing

#

I don’t know why the fuck they do it

#

Like either chain them early or don’t chain at all

vocal minnow
frigid pilot
#

Frustrating as fuck

royal lantern
# frigid pilot Which puts me in infinite combat

first: it doesnt matter, assa doesnt need stealth for value, thats outlaw

2nd: no you are not "stuck in infinite combat", i pug ALLOT and never see that happen to the extend some people here act it happens tonthen, most pug tanks pull1-2 packs togheter and dont move until they are dead, its maybe 1-2x a dungeon i cant stealth

3rd: stealth doesnt matter for assa

frigid pilot
royal lantern
#

look at your dmg lol

clever sapphire
#

play double vanish, problem solved

#

thats what that one guy in the pins does dracthyr_kek

vocal minnow
royal lantern
clever sapphire
#

xD

royal lantern
#

not funny

kindred elm
clever sapphire
#

its funny for me because this is legit a daily thing that happens, the conversation is always the same and the conclusion also always seem to be the same

vocal minnow

#

your bleeds do fuck all dmg

#

its all spatter/crimson tempest

limber lion
frigid pilot
#

Uhm having 20% agility from rupture in 5 targets

royal lantern
#

bleeds generate Ressources, thats it

kindred elm
#

For me it’s more getting to silence the next pack to grp them most of the time

frigid pilot
#

Which allow you to spam envenom into caustic

limber lion
#

Just because tanl pulls a pack, doesn't mean you have to as well

royal lantern
frigid pilot
#

Restealthing matters

#

Huh?

royal lantern
#

NO IT DOESNT

clever sapphire
royal lantern
#

JESUS CHRIST

#

every day the same shit

kindred elm
#

Remember we are talking about pugs here not grps in comms

royal lantern
#

i cant anymore

frigid pilot
#

Carnage helps putting ruptures out faster

royal lantern
#

allright yes

#

it does

frigid pilot
#

What’s so hard to understand

royal lantern
#

or you just fok rupture 4x and its the same

#

cus rupture does 0dmg

steel ridge
#

oh no its starting again

royal lantern
#

and you dont fuck your group by crying BUT MY STEALTH STOP PULLING

frigid pilot
#

Literally dorki on his tier list said sin rogue is good but needs tanks that aren’t dumb and chain pull last 5%

#

Cus of restate

royal lantern
#

dorki is a fucking idiot

#

like

frigid pilot
#

Restealth

limber lion
#

But Dorki doesn't even play rogue

royal lantern
#

legit braindead ape

limber lion
#

Literally doesn't matter

royal lantern
#

he doesnt even play rogue

frigid pilot
#

He plays with rogues

limber lion
#

It's like me or Whispyr giving advice on resto druids

#

There's no correlation

royal lantern
frigid pilot
#

The rogues he plays with have obviously mentioned it

limber lion
#

Just because we play with them, doesn't mean we know shit about them

frigid pilot
#

It’s not like he’s getting the shit out of thin air

vocal minnow
frigid pilot
#

Otherwise he wouldn’t have been so adamant about it

royal lantern
#

again

#

dorki is a fucking idiot

#

its well known lol

frigid pilot
limber lion
#

Idk why you would ever listen to Dorki but refuse to agree with the facts

#

We have videos and commands about it

vocal minnow
frigid pilot
#

They can walk up to the next pack until rogue is stealthed

royal lantern
#

listens to a guy that doesnt play rogue instead of the people that literally maintain the rogue API

#

is that a joke

limber lion
#

But you trust a guardian druid player instead the people who have played the spec for 15 years

royal lantern
#

like srsly

#

like yeha

#

i cant be assed anymore

#

every day the same idiots

#

not Listening

#

fuck me

limber lion
#

Just because tanl starts a pack doesn't mean yoy have to shadowstep in and press fok

#

Learn some positioning

#

Will help ya

frigid pilot
#

Combat chains

limber lion
#

That doesn't matter again

#

You don't have to engage the new pack

#

Even if the tank pulls 20 packs on top of your 5% pack

#

Doesn't mean you get thrown into combat

#

Unless you start hitting the new pack

frigid pilot
#

you sure about that?

limber lion
#

Wtf

royal lantern
#

making up some imaginary " i can NEVER stealth!!!11!!!" scenario

every day

and then acting as if its some giga big impact when we have the mathematical and practical proof that it doesnt matter

every day

limber lion
#

Brother I've played this class for 15 years

#

Yes I'm sure

#

That's how combat works

#

Combat is not global when one party member starts combat with a new pack

normal mist
limber lion
#

You get thrown into combat if you engage the nrw pack, jist like would from stealth initially

#

Going too close or hitting them puts you in combat

royal lantern
#

yeha but Dorki said

limber lion
#

You literally just learn some positioning and if you see a tank chaining at 2%, then you take a few steps back and let the pack die

#

Then stealth

#

And go off

normal mist
#

This is the way

frigid pilot
#

Then why group being in combat sometimes triggers combat for me even when I’m not right in them

royal lantern
#

or you dont, just engage and rupture a couple times manualy and thats it

or you vanish

frigid pilot
#

On*

#

Unless you’re backing up a ton

limber lion
normal mist
#

We do have something throwing us out of stealth

limber lion
#

Throwing out of stealth doesn't matter

#

We're talking about dropping combat

normal mist
#

Let me explain

limber lion
#

Alright

kindred elm
limber lion
#

It happens everytime

#

Consistently

frigid pilot
#

Yeah

clever sapphire
#

its when the mobs spawn so you gotta wait till mobs spawned

fallen arch
#

Ye once the mobs spawn I feel

deep gyro
clever sapphire
#

let mobs spawn, then press stealth

#

After GB 1st boss, my tank yesterday pulled 2 groups and didn't survive and I had everything dotted.
I died, released, went into stealth, and halfway to get back to the mobs that were still aggroed, my stealth just goes off randomly

kindred elm
#

Yeah

limber lion
#

Plenty of stealth bugs yeah

kindred elm
normal mist
#

It isn't REALLY annoying if you can reach the mobs because you have ic for 6 seconds

limber lion
#

Unfortunately we got plagued with stealth breaking bugs in DF

normal mist
#

But still annoying

limber lion
#

Which we have never really had before

normal mist
limber lion
#

We had one issue with Shroud in Shadowlands

#

But that's it

limber lion
normal mist
#

Yeah that's why I get somewhat frustrated

#

Being in combat doesn't mean losing stealth

kindred elm
normal mist
#

No, I meant legit coming out of stealth

clever sapphire
#

i mean you get put back into combat, the issue is that sometimes it gets you out of stealth also

kindred elm
normal mist
#

Even if I received 0 damage

clever sapphire
#

now you are in combat out of stealth and like 15 sec away from the pull

normal mist
#

Exactly!!!

clever sapphire
#

i know that feeling, solution is to just not wipe

#

works for me 100% of the time

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.

Can u evasion the frontal of the necrotic mob ?

fallen arch
#

I think so

#

Side stepping might be better though

clever sapphire
#

dunno, but if you have time to press evasion, you might aswell just shadowstep

#

if you have him in target you will get behind him anyways and now you dodged the frontal and saved a defensive

#

When do i Use shiv, if i only have one charge?

bitter badger
#

last 7 secs in KB

tawdry sedge
#

wait what

#

is that some secret tech?

#

as far as i am concerned shiv is being casted right after kb

#

with enough cp to cast envenom right after

slow tulip
#

if you play 1 shiv you send it the last 8 sec

#

cuz thats when KB hits hardest

limber lion
tawdry sedge
#

yeah makes sense actually

slow tulip
#

if you have 2 - you have shiv for the whole KB

tawdry sedge
#

i have to rewire my brain now

#

damn it

limber lion
#

You either send it on cd regardless, thus before KB for KB's initial to benefit from it

#

Or last 8s of KB

limber lion
#

The mobs you shouldn't ever need to evade on

slow tulip
#

well in m+ scenarios if the mob wont last the whole KB you obv send shiv right before KB

#

but in a boss fight etc - the last 8 sec

yo we just rip ER on cd right

Does transmitter sim better then grace for anyone else Surebud

novel star
#

yes

#

trinket is very good but hard to use

#

skardyns is recommended over it because u just macro it and forget it

#

but transmitter actually takes effort

#

and has annoying rng on it

ebon notch
#

Why

golden loom
#

I have barely done any M+ but would want to get started to for example get skardyns, is there a difference between like a +0 and a +5 for the ilvl of the item or when does that start mattering? I think I saw +10 is for myth track gear but not 100% sure?

tropic tundra
#

m0 one would still be one of the strongest on-use if you fully upgrade it I think

tropic tundra
#

its just too good with 2min cd

#

also that yeah

#

you can spam +7s gb to get a hero track of it

oak eagle
#

the lowest key you could get the strongest version at, would be +7

#

which arent very hard

#

if the people you play with

tropic tundra
#

getting myth track is vault rng

oak eagle
#

arent monkeys

#

but most of them are

ebon notch
#

!up

oak eagle
#

but still

ebon notch
#

Here

oak eagle
#

its ez af

golden loom
#

so wait does myth track not drop from m+ at all currently?

oak eagle
#

no

#

only vault

#

like it always has

golden loom
#

yeah I had no idea, started playing last month šŸ˜„ but alright sounds good, thanks!

proud pelican
#

+2 loot and +6 loot can max out at the same ilvl so you could spam 2s with a higher success rate than spamming 7s if you’re just pugging in order to at least have the trinket then farm a hero track one later thats what i did

oak eagle
#

yeah but whats the point

#

of spamming 2s

#

just to spam 7s after that

golden loom
#

I guess it drops as champ track in +2 to +6?

oak eagle
#

might aswell just spam the 7s

proud pelican
#

If you’re hard farming it on hero track the yeah there’s no point in spamming the 2s

oak eagle
#

yes champ drops from 2-6

proud pelican
#

I got mine on champ track now just gonna wait until I get one natty I’m not farming a hero one

golden loom
#

done like 5 m+ dungeons total, the highest being a +5 so guess doing +2s to also get some raiting isnt the worst idea šŸ˜„

fierce sigil
#

Yo!
Does anybody know why im getting Knocked out of stealth in the maze Event of mists? How to fix that dumb Problem?

oak eagle
#

nope

#

been a bug since SL

#

was a bug then

#

still a bug now

#

its dumb

fierce sigil
#

Uff… thats Crazy dumb…

oak eagle
#

just gotta stealth after the mobs spawn

#

but before you get global combated

proud pelican
#

Certainly when mists makes it back into the dungeon rotation 3 xpacs from now it will be fixed don’t worry

oak eagle
#

lol

#

nt

#

but doubtful

#

the weird thing is

#

im pretty sure early on in mists

#

it used to not do that

fierce sigil
oak eagle
#

and then they changed something with the maze

#

and made it so that

#

it started to happen

fierce sigil
#

Ok tyvm for ur answers guys šŸ‘šŸ’Ŗ

proud pelican
#

Anyone know if I’m at max CPs with darkest night and 8s left on kingsbane, is it correct to shiv and waste the CPs or envenom-shiv and lose a second of shiv/KB overlap?

#

Can’t seem to find an answer on this

oak eagle
#

thats a Whispyr question

arctic socket
#

Send the envenom then shiv

proud pelican
#

That’s what I’ve been doing it feels right but idk

#

But what if I’m at max but DONT have darkest night Hmm

golden loom
#

Then wouldnt you still wanna envenom -> shiv cause the combo points gets you closer to DN

arctic socket
#

You would still send the envenom followed by shiv

gilded rune
#

im ready for mythic

pliant roost
#

ballpark how much % damage does Tier set add?

limber lion
#

If you don't have DN, then it's not even a question

#

You Envenom first then Shiv

#

But whether or not to use Shiv before DN with 10 Amp Stacks

#

Now that's a good question

arctic socket
vocal minnow
fathom nest
#

I would shiv first. Havin 30% more dmg on your big envenom feels right to me...

limber lion
#

I would personally do too

vocal minnow
arctic socket
limber lion
#

That's the point of the apl and theorycrafting

oak eagle
#

^

#

its their job to overcomplicate things

gilded rune
limber lion
#

the beings

gilded rune
#

the beings

oak eagle
#

slate crown
#

The wasted cp from shiv at max is minor imo. Applying its buff is more pressing. Envenoming first gets your mark applied sooner but is then less damage

#

Also

#

This is often forgotten but shiv is 8 sec not 7

#

It is more than half of a kingsbane not exactly half

#

So you technically have one gcd leeway on when you use it during kb

oak eagle
#

^

limber lion
#

Well

slate crown
#

I would also probably shiv first then env

limber lion
#

If you were to use Envenom when Shiv is ready, and Shiv right after

#

You would risk wasting one tick of KB outside of Shiv

oak eagle
#

i personally also shiv then envenom

limber lion
#

Or rather, very likely would miss out on a tick

slow tulip
#

Well its the same logic with mutilate at 6 cp if you have a darkest night - overcapping CP is fine - cuz spending DN / having shiv buff for KB is more important than the CP

neat smelt
#

does Mandate sim correctly for sin or do we need to add a custom apl

limber lion
#

It does yeah

neat smelt
#

my sim is in love with Ritual Knife then

limber lion
#

Yeah Ritual Knife is pretty good

#

You can cloak the debuff as well for more dps

#

Which the sim doesn't do

#

:-)

neat smelt
#

it outperforms mandate and spyglass on same ilvl

spice surge
#

yes

limber lion
#

Yuppies

#

It will fall off later

spice surge
#

But mandate and spyglass is available at higher ilvl

neat smelt
#

most likely pulling Ovinax today

limber lion
#

Can't get a 639 Ritual Knife

neat smelt
#

I could send upgrades on them, still have 105 gilded

#

being a bit greedy waiting for tommorow's vault

#

maybe i see a myth track trinket

oak eagle
#

yeah dont send upgrades tonight

neat smelt
#

not like we re killing ovinax in half a raid lol

oak eagle
#

nah whatchu mean

#

you got this

#

with the nerfs coming in 3 hours

#

itll be ez af

neat smelt
#

we havent pulled it yet

oak eagle
#

dont matter

#

1 pull

#

boutta be the best pull youve ever seen

neat smelt
#

just dont die Surebud

#

what do you guys think about CT and no CT on Ovinax btw

#

strictly for boss damage

oak eagle
#

i do what my guild tells me

#

they want me to play m+ build

#

i will

slow tulip
oak eagle
#

if they want me to absolutely blast the boss

#

ill do that

slow tulip
#

ye, if its like a specific guild plan ok

neat smelt
slow tulip
#

other than that - trolling

oak eagle
#

well that was probably their raids gameplan

slow tulip
#

do as the guild asks is the answer here i guess

oak eagle
#

^

neat smelt
#

I understand CT's worth for add damage, but iirc there's been a discussion about doing more boss damage with CT

#

is that just cope

oak eagle
#

probably

#

i havent pulled ovinax yet

#

but seems like cope imo

limber lion
#

Whispyr just did some sims yesterday about that

#

I would play CT on Ovinax

lean plover
#

Theres a deathstalker talent that makes the marked target take 5% of the dmg dealt to other mobs, and ct deals more dmg basen on targets as well

spring sigil
#

I've just noticed my haste is really low lol

neat smelt
#

And I assume we'd only press it when adds are out?

limber lion
oak eagle
#

!haste

#

!design

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
neat smelt
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
  • Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
limber lion
#

But it's safe to just use with adds

spring sigil
#

So i'm not handicapping myself here with only 9% haste?

limber lion
#

It'll be a bigger loss to play ST CT incorrectly

spring sigil
#

oh good šŸ˜„

limber lion
#

Assa likes all stats

spare nimbus
#

Weird question, but in M+ you kind of only really need to apply deathstalker a few times throughout the whole dung through stealth with ambush right? cause the rest will just happen when minions die?

neat smelt
limber lion
spare nimbus
#

very nice

oak eagle
lean plover
limber lion
#

And you'd only use FoK on single target with Clear the Witness procs

#

Assuming you don't play VV

oak eagle
#

and if you arent playing VV

limber lion
#

Too slow

#

Too bald

oak eagle
#

fuck

#

im so bad

#

im gonna just retire

neat smelt
quasi swan
#

is envenom poison damage?

oak eagle
#

yes

limber lion
#

Nature damage

oak eagle
#

same thing

limber lion
#

Not quite

oak eagle
#

pssh

neat smelt
oak eagle
#

no you dont

limber lion
oak eagle
#

yeah VV is def weird

quasi swan
# limber lion Not quite

whats the difference? everything that i think would be "poison damage" says nature damage in the tooltip

limber lion
#

It's only good on full ST with no adds whatsoever

limber lion
#

It's nothing to really think about or know about

#

Doesn't change anything

neat smelt
#

So, on Rashanan, would you consume CtW when adds are out?

limber lion
#

But just theorycrafting thingies

limber lion
#

On Rash you wouldn't probs even play VV

oak eagle
#

yes you should be pressing FoK when theres 2 or more

#

at least, thats what whispyr says

#

when playing DS

quasi swan
#

but for assassination its generaly everything thats nature damage is poison damage? (asking for the set bonus for example)

limber lion
neat smelt
#

Alright, that's some good notes taken for tonight's raid. Haven't played assa in a minute so all this feedback is much appreciated

limber lion
#

You can try it out on dummies

#

Try sending a 5CP Envenom on a dummy without tier

#

And then once with tier stacked up

stark scroll
#

@normal mist

#

I see people upgrading champ gear to set piece to get 2-4 set. I was waiting until I was upgrading all hero pieces but its taking longer, does it make sense to upgrade champ or should I wait for all hero

limber lion
#

Should just wait for hero

#

Our tier set is of such low impact

#

It does not really help much

oak eagle
#

yeah

limber lion
#

Other classes are getting 10%+ from their tier set

stark scroll
#

Does all tier sets have the same stats?

limber lion
#

We get less than 3%

oak eagle
#

i was really surprised that i got 2p from raid

#

on week 1 tuesday

stark scroll
#

or if i upgrade one piece of armor over another

oak eagle
#

guild gave me 2 normal curios

stark scroll
#

my tier set will be diffrent

limber lion
#

Yes tier sets always have the same stats

stark scroll
#

or if i am in outlaw when i ugprade

#

itll be different than a sub tier set

limber lion
#

No

#

It's the same

stark scroll
#

ok cool

#

thanks bro

#

I feel like the set bonus for rogue needs a lil work

#

subs sounds ok though

oak eagle

not sure about the outlaw tier set

#

but i could see the sin tier

#

getting a lil buff

stark scroll
vestal wren
#

they nerfed outlaw

#

but buffed the set

#

its okay

stark scroll
#

it was decwent then they nerfed it

#

and it equated to a 1% damage boost to class

vestal wren
#

i think they did not need to nerf outlaw

stark scroll
#

no lol it did not

cyan dew
#

what's the consensus on transmiter? Worth using or Skardin + Sac/Mandate is better?

vestal wren
#

but was like overall close to no diffrence

stark scroll
#

correct

quiet oar
stark scroll
#

hurt a little bit for those without set

quiet oar
#

seeing the first week

stark scroll
#

but if you had it

vestal wren
stark scroll
#

it did nothing

quiet oar
#

OH NO OUTLAW IS DOING GOOD

#

nerfing and it falls behind

vestal wren
#

i woudl recommend using a weakaura for it

stark scroll
#

What is the transmitter minigame

#

?

vestal wren
#

it was like 1-2%

#

thats a area you don't see diffrences

stark scroll
#

But arcane is running rampant

vestal wren
#

the problem is raid design

stark scroll
#

nerf outlaw

vestal wren
#

or rather cdr

#

downtime in raid punishes both sub and outlaw

stark scroll
#

fury warrior cleave and frost warrior is op

#

nerf outlaw

vestal wren
#

for sub thats because talents did not get re-evaluated

#

so a lack of attention from the dev team

#

for outlaw its just because of their core gameplay design

vestal wren
#

but tuning isn't great

stark scroll
#

Frost warrior

#

I just noticed that

#

lol

#

I don't have 8 years of experience like yall to know whats right or wrong

#

I played BC, MOP-LEGION then dipped during the dark ages and am back

#

Ninety percent of that time was combat/outlaw rogue

#

I never touched sin or sub still now

#

In fact I played sub for the first time on sunday

gritty laurel

no time to think, just put your opinion in here and you're right until/unless you get righteously dunked on with sim numbers

how is assassins damage curve

vestal wren

Damage curve?

how big is dmg fall off

vestal wren

#

We cleared it after 5 tries or so I beat everyone in damage other than warriors

vestal wren
#

big damage every 2 minutes with some burst every mintue

stark scroll
#

One wipe I did beat the warriors though

quiet oar
limber lion
#

hehe

stark scroll
#

Its an interesting spec

quiet oar
#

rogues are only chosen because of atrophic

limber lion
#

Well

vestal wren
limber lion
#

Rogues are chosen if it's a guild that doesn't care about giga minmaxing what specs to take

stark scroll
#

My issue with sub is I dont know where to put my abilities

SIN and OUTLAW are simple

vestal wren

How do they look at ER

royal lantern

it got lower in tww cus you dont cancle disintergrate 2/3 trought the cast anymore

but arcane is now easy to play

stark scroll

no phoenixs or shit

spice spire
vestal wren
#

and good

stark scroll
#

I want to be kaelthas

vestal wren
#

so people see less reason to play fire

stark scroll
#

and worst part of fire is there is no daggers no stabbing and no stealth

crisp pine
vestal wren
#

it is kinda like rogue where assassiantion is the easier to play spec with good output

stark scroll
#

imagine class with one dagger

frigid pilot
#

its braindead in ST

royal lantern
stark scroll
#

Admittedly envenom feels good to use

crisp pine
#

fair point actually

frigid pilot
#

danse mcabre in df alone meant alot of rogues were doing 0 dmg

crisp pine
#

I have 0 clue about mage

stark scroll
#

you know when you hit an execute on a target

crisp pine
#

I think they cast bolts or smth

stark scroll
#

and you just know a big number is going to come

gritty laurel
#

skb makes me hate fire mage gameplay

stark scroll
#

envenom hits and the poison bomb comes out and that sound effect plays

#

thats peak

royal lantern

and tf you mean danse made rogues do no dmg

echo tartan

im not finding builds

royal lantern

2nd finisher secret tech

vestal wren
# frigid pilot its braindead in ST

its not only that, sub changes too much. It seems like it is not allowed to keep a niche for long and often has problems meaning you are noticably worse on certain fights

echo tartan
#

nvm

#

i found

royal lantern
#

congratz, you now understood danse in DF

crisp pine
vestal wren
#

e.g. subtlety in s1/2 df had the best aoe of all 3 rogue specs

jovial idol

The rotation is easy

vestal wren

subtlety now is rly not good in aoe

royal lantern
stark scroll
oak eagle
#

you guys remember when Sub was just a funnel bot

stark scroll
#

it does not feel good in aoe

gritty laurel
#

did someone say two sides to the coin? i like coins

spice spire
vestal wren
#

so plaers that lerned sub in 10.0 and palyed in 10.2 are suddenly put in the positon where a strengh of the spec simply gets removed

stark scroll
#

I elected to just kill one target fast

vestal wren
#

and its a common theme

jovial idol
royal lantern
stark scroll
#

It is insane to me that sub will match peoples dps killing one target

vestal wren
#

11.0.5 removes dust, which is atm one of the niches

frigid pilot
#

but sometimes change is good

stark scroll
#

in time it takes them to do the same damage to multiple

frigid pilot
#

sin is just bread and butter put dots, big envenom rinse repeat

#

trickster sub is fun rn

vestal wren
#

like fundermentally

#

its the same, you have 1 and 2 min burst

stark scroll
jovial idol
stark scroll
vestal wren
#

but it looks more like subtlety gets to do 1 min burst cycles

jovial idol
#

But in aoe it's chilk

stark scroll
#

its boring

royal lantern
#

and they dont

frigid pilot
stark scroll
#

I do think sin is fun on fights like Silken court

normal mist
vestal wren
#

the two min cd (blades) isn't increasing it as noticably

stark scroll

but then i played sub on silken court

frigid pilot
#

just cus its fun doesnt mean its ez

and i was like wait these cds line up with all the vuln windows

The energy starvation on ST feels horrible

royal lantern
#

mate, you talk about "sub so hard" and then say in the next sentence "having to pool for envenom is crazy"

vestal wren
royal lantern
#

you are NOT in the position to talk about "spec difficult" (which is always a stupid topic)

frigid pilot
#

pooling isnt hard, but comparing energy to df levels

jovial idol
vestal wren
#

pvp?

royal lantern
#

assa speed up compated to DF lol

jovial idol
#

Corrected

rose wharf
#

is there a "optimal" way for crafting?
my plan was to go Boots and Belt because i can do it myself and maybe get Bracers or Weapon after that with higher Crest because it is a fresh Char anyway and i will have to recraft.

i feel pvp has too much impact on pve design

jovial idol

im debating on leveling my sham

novel star

energy being a real resource on one spec is good actually

limber lion

limber lion

The Stormbringer gameplay with Tempest is great

spice spire
#

Amen

near vale

nah dude when you aoe pull and get like 10 maelstrom resets 3 times in a row its so crazy

limber lion

Yeah spamming Chain Lightning because you get resets over and over

  • the primordial wave tempest interaction
jovial idol
#

Ok it's shaman discord now

near vale
#

got nerfed but its still cool

vestal wren
limber lion
#

Very cool

vestal wren
#

but they have this thing where you can tune/change spells for pvp specific

limber lion
#

Like I do a pull and Tempest is doing 45% of my damage

vestal wren
#

since 10 years

limber lion
#

Don't see that on a Rogue spec

vestal wren
#

so i feel like pvp should not lead to pve changes

limber lion
#

I have to scroll the details meter pretty far down to find Deathstalker's Mark

jovial idol
#

They can make dust a pvp talent

royal lantern
jovial idol
#

Fixed

limber lion
#

Deathstalker buffs everything else in the kit except the hero talent niche itself

#

So it doesn't feel like it's doing much

#

Whereas Stormbringer is just full on Tempest everything

vestal wren
limber lion
#

Everything in the tree just buffs the interaction

#

Very cool

gritty laurel
#

yeah but coins man, think of the coins

vestal wren
#

also your statements did contradict

limber lion
#

No lazy "aa does more dam" or "fok does more dam" or "ct does more dam"

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

wasn't the initial statement - sub is too good in pvp due to dust

royal lantern
#

such a clusterfuck

limber lion
#

or "wowza 2 coins instead of one!"

vestal wren
#

why would you want it as a pvp talent then

limber lion
#

I didn't even realize how much I disliked the rogue hero trees

#

Until I tried other specs

vestal wren
limber lion
#

Like it's crazy

jovial idol
royal lantern
#

thats what im saying all the time cev

#

in a Vacuum they are allright

#

but then you look at other things and its oof

near vale
#

yea its been a while since i played rogue and going from shaman/windwalker spamming abilities constantly with procs and ability resets on aoe/st then doing fuckk all waiting for my envenom buff to hit 1 sec is uhh interesting to say the least

limber lion
#

Like sure number is bigger or whatever

#

But eh

royal lantern
#

like, even the really passive ones like Slayer/mountainthane warrior

#

have more feel/impact behind them

gritty laurel
#

i've been dabbling with mm hunter and it's insane how impactful the hero talents feel compared to rogue

jovial idol
#

I just want trickster to have shadow clones

gritty laurel

even if the dps % is similar

stark scroll
#

Dark ranger hunter?

#

do they stab people with daggers

gritty laurel
#

sometimes yes, with disengage

limber lion
#

Like literally the ONLY talent for Stormbringer that does not interact directly with Tempest, is Voltaic Surge which increases Chain Lightning etc. damage by 15%. BUT you get bigger/free Chain Lightning casts from using Tempest and using Chain Lightning has a chance to refund Maelstorm to build Tempest faster again

#

Like even though it does not directly impact it, it still kinda does

#

Like every single thing in the tree interacts with each other

near vale
#

ah man i forgot about the chain lightning buff after tempest lmao

limber lion
#

Like why do I start every sentence with like

near vale
#

why the fuck would you ever go the totem hero talent

royal lantern
#

like, why does the Deathstalker mark by itself buff MUTILATE/BACKSTAB

#

like??????

stark scroll

I watched a video of elemental shaman srtormbringer

zapping the fuck out of everything

did you see liquid doing splits with the ele shamans?

more like consider going 2.5 minutes into a pull without getting the agi coin because fuck you that's why

near vale

limber lion

Consuming the mark causes your next Envenom to apply the mark to ALL targets

oh good, sub still higher than assa by a little, their channel can get the "should i play X spec for raid?" spam

for AoE or ST

It doesn't have to be one or the other

i pugged aotc earlier

Anyone have advice for surviving several casts of Retch in the blightbone fight in NW? In high keys it oneshots me. I'm also confused that evasion works to dodge the cast, but I still die with cloak

The issue is of course only in the odd chance that I get the cast multiple times on me

you're only immune to it within the first second of casting cloak

aka "empowered cloak"

u might be able to vanish before its casted also?
