at least they removed slice n dice

thats my excuse for bad dps, i like it kekdog

Green puddle with MAHOLY

#

You can say that, but it's all building 5-7 combo points and throwing them at a target with the same spender over and over, then once every so often you get to use your coveted OTHER SPENDER then you go back to using the basic one again. Different pacing and upkeeps like RTB vs Ruptures, but ultimately the same loops.

feral wasp
#

i think rogue has the most boring hero talents

subtle tundra
feral wasp
#

build spend build spend, people like procs

royal lantern
#

a really really bad take, but a take

#

frost mage is actually like rogue, you generate icicles and then launch them with glacial spike after building up 6 and repeat

young dust
prime flame
#

Yeah, I mean if you want to act like dispatch/evisc/envenom arent the same thing, and SS/Mut/Backstab aren't the same thing, go ahead

subtle tundra
#

dont tell this guy every spec is a builder spender

warm vortex
#

I feel like the reason rogue isn’t played rn isn’t just cause of difficulty. A lot of people have said it isn’t fun for them

feral wasp
royal lantern
#

mate, are you trolling rn and im stupid for taking the bait

#

or just weird lol

feral wasp
#

they are same skills, wdym

prime flame
#

You're off one, homie

normal mist
#

I mean they are if we think in a super MACRO way

#

Like everything else in the game

royal lantern
#

like, rogue is the class with the highest amount of spec OTP's because they all 3 play so fundemantally different, and you show up and say "eh they are all the same cus CP generating/spending"

#

??

sharp viper
#

yes

grim jay
feral wasp
#

compare sub to assasination and frost to unholy dk

#

see the spec difference

sturdy mesa
#

What are blud waffling about, just build combo points, use combo points

strange python
#

What is that supposed to mean

grim jay
#

Rogue specs are as different as specs in the same class on the same role can get. Thats also a reason for people struggling if they switch specs

prime flame
strange python
#

What are we saying here

novel star
strange python
#

Are we just saying things

novel star
#

at least its usually classic players

sharp viper
#

rouge specs are very versatile, we got bleedy poison rouge, stabby shadow rouge, pirate rouge, green rouge, holy rouge, furry rouge

novel star
#

who lose their minds upon realizing this

wispy epoch
#

anyone have a braindead weakaura

#

that announces when tank dies

#

or my focus target dies

grim jay
subtle tundra
#

feral is the better assa rogue though

grim jay
#

More Power to you

grim jay

But its one of the wildest takes ive seen this year

strange python
#

Feral is sin without qol

novel star
#

feral is such a shit spec to play

strange python
#

Well

novel star
#

it feels like garbage

strange python
#

I liked playing it

#

It’s just

#

Idk man

grim jay
#

Ha

fallen arch

U are a cat

I mean

#

snapshot rotation in 2024

strange python
#

I don’t have feint, cloak, evasion, shadowstep

novel star
#

aintnoway

strange python
#

Snapshotting ain’t that huge

#

Big myth

grim jay
sharp viper
grim jay
novel star
#

"aint that huge" (is the entire spec)

#

minmax wise at least

strange python
#

Very minor minmax

#

You snapshot once every 30 seconds

#

If you can’t manage that

#

Then idk

novel star
#

yeh makes sense

subtle tundra
#

i had

#

to try it out

novel star
#

i was torn between monk and havoc for an alt

#

went with havoc

grim jay
grim jay
novel star
#

crazy how the spec didnt change at all

sharp viper
#

i miss claws of shirvalla

strange python
#

Feral was more fun in df tbf, I don’t enjoy the way it plays now

strange python
sharp viper
#

fun police deleted gladiator warrior and claws of shirvalla

grim jay
#

People all say smth different

novel star
strange python
#

It’s the same amount of buttons but

novel star
#

except throw glaive i guess if ur the other tree

strange python
#

It’s very specific

novel star
#

i mean

#

the meta combo is different

strange python
#

I mean it is

prime flame
novel star
#

but everything else is legit the same

strange python
#

That’s why you see

#

So many bad havocs

#

„Meta combo is different“

#

That’s all your damage bro

grim jay
strange python
#

If that’s different the whole spec is kekdog

novel star
#

not really true

strange python
#

Very true since this expansion

novel star
#

you have 2 minutes of pressing buttons between the meta cd

#

and that entire rotation is the same

#

90% of your playtime is the same

prime flame
novel star
#

i wouldnt say sin is a wildly different spec if we started pressing env dm shiv kb in a different order

strange python
#

„Outside of cds where you just press filler and spender it’s the same“

#

Bro

#

Sin changed less from df to tww

#

Than havoc

#

Come on

novel star
#

if u could engage in a hypothetical for 2 sec ud know thats not what i was saying OMEGALUL

#

dm kb is all our damage

#

if we changed the dm kb order to something different it would still be the same spec outside of the 2 minute burst window

#

it would have been cool if havoc played differently other than just meta

#

/ glaive

strange python
#

Wdym

#

Idk what ur trying so say, they went from 5 steps during meta to 15(?)

#

To get their damage

#

Idk

dawn heath
#

Sup gaymers

strange python
#

Tww havoc plays very different

#

Yo aljan

Super havoc main

strange python
#

How many buttons is felscarred cd sequence?

#

It’s pretty large that’s all I know

dawn heath
#

Your opener is 19 buttons

strange python
dawn heath
#

In a correct secquence

kindred hinge
#

Feral was fun in Fireland

dawn heath
#

The havoc is face roll spec is a outdated myth the spec is fairly complex

kindred hinge
#

And Cata in generak

novel star
#

i never said it was faceroll lmao

dawn heath
#

Na but alot of people think so

novel star
#

just that other than meta combo its p much the same as df

#

normal prio and essb combo didnt rly change

dawn heath
novel star
#

ye im relearning it

#

opener is legit the only part thats like

#

anything to learn tho

#

after that its just the same spec until meta comes back

dawn heath
#

Essence breka global 17 is crazy

ye lmao

Took me a long time to reprogram my brain

#

Didn’t expect to see some dh talk in rogue this morning haha

prime flame
dawn heath
#

It depends

#

Its very hard to play in keys imo but in raids its easier

#

Requires so much spatial awareness with movement

#

But sub is more complex than havoc

kindred hinge
prime flame
rain wraith
#

DH is for amphetamine users

kindred hinge
#

I also have a vivid memory of a high COS where I was tanking and I asked the DH to cage the add on first boss

Seen him consider it, vengeful and dash straight into a pack. Ngl that was hilarious

rotund oak
strong wing
#

How much do we benefit from pi in st? Is there any sheet with those numbers?

arctic socket
#

We don’t

novel star
#

i cant speak to the difficulty of sub

#

but havoc was 100% harder than sin

#

and mayb outlaw too

arctic socket
#

O.o

rotund oak
#

ye thats some BS as well

arctic socket
#

Yall got some wild statements this morning lmao

novel star
#

its not a fake spec anymore rly

arctic socket
#

Harder than outlaw?

novel star
#

i mean its not hard but wow just isnt a hard game

rotund oak
#

they came here to sniff dh copium this morning

dawn heath
#

Its not a easy spec you should try it

prime flame
#

Havoc has a fragility to its movement and uptime that rogue specs don't have. Especially when momentum is taken

royal iron
#

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime

Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

dawn heath
#

But Rogue also isnt easy

novel star
#

outlaw and havoc are similar in that theyre one of very few specs in the game that actually are an execution test

grim jay
novel star
#

u have to press the buttons well, not just press the right ones

rotund oak

havoc's mobility is a blessing and a curse

grim jay

im conflicted

novel star
#

buddy i have been playing sin and havoc the entire time ive played wow

grim jay
novel star
#

theyre like the only specs i feel confident talking about

#

primarily sin tho

dawn heath

Everyone is biased

hello pumpers

Just buff moonkins

novel star

have u played modern havoc

deep gyro
#

Oop mt

novel star
#

in bfa and sl it was a pretty pathetic spec

quiet oar
#

Someone saying rogue isnt hard or Sap advocating for rogue being hard, thats very conflicting

rotund oak
#

bro feels confident to speak for two specs but says outlaw is easier than havoc

novel star
#

but its real news now

rotund oak
#

makes sense

grim jay
arctic socket
#

Havoc dh being called more complicated then outlaw just wild

rotund oak
#

with a couple of beers

quiet oar
#

i dunno which side i choose

novel star
arctic socket
#

Harder

proper hare
#

Do you guys also semi despair after bl? Feels like i have 0 energy despairge

novel star
#

the thing with wow is that people have a hard time differentiating difficulty and complexity

#

outlaw and havoc are both not very complex

grim jay
novel star
#

but you can fuck the specs up really bad if you dont execute it properly

prime flame
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
quiet oar

which was not

#

the case

sin is not very complex either but also has barely any execution check

young dust

novel star
grim jay
#

But ye

#

At its core not that hard

quiet oar
#

but thats the case for most specs

#

most are relatively easy to learn

arctic socket
#

Honestly bm more complex then sub

quiet oar

but hard to master

young dust

different words same opinion at da end of da day

I think that’s like the one spec it works well on

hekili is gross,i wont lose my time with silly stuff

That’s why it’s good for that spec

equally dumb

rotund oak

Kekw

rotund oak
#

but from ppl that play it im getting its easy

prime flame
#

Easiest spec has to be ele now unless I'm really not understanding what that spec is doing rn

grim jay
young dust
#

I honestly feel no satisfaction playing rotations like ret

proper hare
primal jolt
#

never tell a ret paladin his spec is easy they get offended

grim jay
#

With more survivability and utility

arctic socket
#

Ret dps has always been easy to play

I enjoyed surv playstyle tbh

SV in SL was nice. It was also very punishing with the set bonus. Very similar to how BTE is for outlaw, but kinda even worse

kindred hinge
#

Trap dancing explosif shot was peak SV, Blizz had to nerf that in les sthan three week because they culd not have people having fun

quiet oar
#

God i wish SV was more like SL

#

It feels so bad

#

not stacking haste

#

on my survival

rotund oak
#

SV is a thing now isnt it

quiet oar
#

Ye but its slow Aggy

rotund oak
#

ive done couple of keys with SVs

grim jay
#

Unpopular opinion, but I liked the ranged SV more kekdog

quiet oar
#

Ok grandpa

#

Its time for the bed now

grim jay

I kinda wished for SV to be a petless melee

give me a ranged throwing shuriken rogue Surebud

rotund oak
#

we cant say anything,they pulling out the age gun

grim jay
#

Ranged rogue spec would kill the other rogue specs

I really tend to get bored everytime I play any ranged dps

quiet oar
#

Especially in Keys

#

you literally

#

chill in the back

young dust
dim mural
hallow sonnet
#

Just feels like the only difficulty that ranged dps has is fighting the inner annoyance that you have to move at times

arctic socket
#

Am I tweaking or did rogue use to have a combo point shuriken throw

rotund oak
grim jay
quiet oar
hallow sonnet
#

Dragonbreath/Blastwave is kinda fun as a mage. Because it has a positional aspect

kindred hinge
#

Until you died of a frontal but w/e you had fun

dim mural
#

Don't think I played that

kindred hinge
#

They nerfed it rapidly, it was during Wotlk end of first tier when BM got nerfed

#

Or when they fixed the bug that was making BM insane

grim jay
brisk path
#

when you recraft item with different embelishment, does it still ask for crests?

grim jay
#

As in why take an enhancer if you can take ele

novel star
#

naw

#

you reuse the same enchanted crest

#

and spark

#

just need new mats

#

pretty sure anyway

brisk path
#

coz in recraft tab it is currently trying to use my lower crest

novel star
#

should be able to reselect whatever one is already in it

grim jay
#

Recraft only needs new mats and whatever you wanna change on it

rotund monolith
#

i rolled Tauren rogue because i thought war stomp would be super nice in M+, but the 5 target cap makes it unreliable. And it seems like dwarfs are not as OP anymore since no more bursting. What are the bis races currently? in terms of actual usage of racials

novel star
#

like when i open recraft order for my 636 belt i just see the enchanted gilded preselected

grim jay
#

As always

rotund monolith

The other racial is fairly good aswell

arctic socket
#

Best reasons

novel star
#

wonder what they were cooking with the 2nd one

#

trying to dethrone druid as the gathering race maybe

#

idk

#

or its just some bullshit more likely

Skygolems kinda bis

Every aug is dracthyr

So thats a con

royal lantern
#

will go dracthyr the second they let me transmog on them

grim jay
#

Id stay in the normal form

#

Not the Dragon shit

royal lantern
#

the dragon is the normal form you weirdo

#

mf's play the dragon race and then run around as a blood elf again

#

i cant

grim jay

Imagine thinking dragons are normal

#

Smh my head

just play human and be normal

i hear it's pretty good

#

you should go play it and return in 2 years to tell us about it

rotund oak
#

dont have enough time to play wow,much less for another mmo fam

blazing pumice
#

the idea is you would quit wow

#

and go play ffxiv

rotund oak
#

must be a huge burden for u to never have played with me and still wanna get rid of me my man

#

and no,ill play for at least 14 months more,could basicly exxtend my game time for another half a year or something

#

or whatever 13mil gold translates to

blazing pumice
#

turn it all into bnet balance so you can play diablo v

after you're done with ffxiv

isnt it diablo 4?

storm hedge
#

Can someone explain to me why I died to frontal of 1st boss in NW with cloak up?

spice surge
#

Because it goes through cloak

maiden pewter
#

use evasion

spice surge
#

Unless its the literal first second of cloak

#

Because cloak is sometimes stronger for the first second Cheesin

wise whale
#

ye i learned that on princess

spice surge
#

Which rarely happens but this is one of those cases, sikrans aoe is another one

storm hedge
#

Dying to aoe with cloak up...

brisk forge
#

just feint first boss if its on you...

orchid pewter
spice surge
#

But ye first second of cloak works, evasion works

storm hedge
#

Evasion as in the 20% dr from hero talents?

spice surge
#

No

#

As in the dodge

storm hedge
#

It will dodge the frontal???

spice spire
#

Yes

spice surge
#

Yes

storm hedge
#

Ok this game sometimes

brisk forge
#

But stil you shoulkdnt be infront lol

storm hedge
#

It was aimed at me

spice spire
storm hedge
#

NW 1st boss

brisk forge
#

use FEINT

spice surge
#

Why use feint

spice spire
#

Or use evasion

brisk forge
#

you gotta sidestep bro ;:D

spice surge
#

When you can use evasion or cloak

spice spire
#

That mitigated 100%

brisk forge
#

cant use evasion more then once

spice spire
#

And there’s 4 possible targets

spice surge
#

Ok sure if you get 3 of them in a row

storm hedge
#

What other things like that does evasion work for then?

dawn heath
spice spire
#

But we’ll start with evasion eh

brisk forge
#

i often gets 2

spice surge
#

But like bruh

dawn heath
#

It kills you through feint

spice spire
#

:3

brisk forge
#

on higher yes, but since his question didnt take him for being a 12 key person xd

spice spire
#

I mean

storm hedge
#

Well they cast some stuff that evasion doesn't work for so

spice spire
#

It previously cloaked

storm hedge
#

Nah I'm still learning in the +10 range

spice spire
#

Siege horse mob’s charge

#

Charge from the first boss in raid

#

Idk game is weird sometimes

storm hedge
#

This just doesn't make sense to me though. I'm sure I tried dodging other aoe stuff and it didn't work...

spice surge
#

Correct, it doesnt make sense

#

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

#

Its hard to know if a spell is coded as an attack or not

winged quail
#

is there a raidbots string to sim all the different ST builds out there by any chance? ^^

storm hedge
#

Is there a source where I can learn this at least for bosses?

spice spire
#

Previously did this

#

Too much work

#

0 contribution

#

Now you learn via word of mouth

spice surge
#

And if you get something wrong people will say the entire sheet is completely useless and flame you

#

Very fun times

spice spire
#

Last time I ever listen to a br*tish man without fact checking his dog ass

storm hedge
#

So the only way is exp and warcraft logs I guess?

dim yacht
#

for a lil bit i thought you could shadowstep last boss in dawnbreaker to avoid the damage from the web aoe

dim yacht
#

not only did it not work, but i shadowstepped too early and dropped the web in the middle of the area

spice spire
#

And asking

dim yacht
#

mega bricked the key

#

its weird, if you shadowstep right after the web bomb thing shoots out it still follows you into mid

i need to be sent to jail

idk why i thought caustic is not triggered with mutilate

thought its envenom also for some reason

thats what ive been doing

does this work? procs cheat death nope

and sometimes youll find one that actually works

latent badger
#

yo why are ppl not going CT on broodtwister, seems like it should be pretty strong no?

calm grail
#

Probably cause spatter does all the cleave you need

#

and you're missing out on more DPS by taking CT

dawn heath
#

Probably not your job to pad on smallies

#

Other classes do it

calm grail
#

As sin in raid, your job is to powerfuck bosses

#

Incidental spatter cleave is a bonus

dawn heath

With our lack luster st lmao

I deal low damage on queen ansurek heroic fight compared to DK, warrior etc. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong. (Low damage = ~600k DPS phase 3, ilvl 615)

calm grail
#

According to parses

#

You're doing something very wrong

royal lantern
dawn heath
#

Assa felt pretty bad on Queen but thats low

royal lantern
#

CT on broodtwister is literally a ST dmg gain

dawn heath
#

🤔

calm grail
#

Wild that all the top parsers don't use it then. Maybe they know something we don't.

royal lantern
#

add spawn->press CT once->keep hammering the boss

Where you don't care about parsing

#

And believe it or not, some groups have comps that require more AOE dmg to the adds

calm grail
#

Uh huh

gray horizon
#

Plenty of high parses with CT

royal lantern
#

and its literally a ST gain

#

jesus

#

guys, CT is allready technically a Gain on ST with the crit proc fron deathstalker up

#

just nobody does it cus its cringe

calm grail
#

Yeah I guess if your group needs your CT, you should go for it.

royal lantern
#

that is a fight where you can actually play CT and also utilite that ST gain

calm grail
#

I only see more than 20% of people using it, and it's on Mythic.

#

I don't think we're talking mythic here.

dawn heath
#

I find Assa talents to be wonky in raids

eager tree
#

pressing CT is not a ST gain over running a ST build, but if you are running CT yes it is

dawn heath
#

Everyone playing different shit

royal lantern
#

ofc im talking mythic

gray horizon
#

Heroic def don't bother with CT

#

but mythic yes it's def worth it

calm grail
#

Yeah

gray horizon
#

Literally all of the top parses are using CT lmao

calm grail
#

Where people DON'T use it.

#

On Mythic, most do.

if i play 2 vanish i lost a lot in m+ ?

What are you trading that 2nd charge with?

blazing pumice
#

2 vanish is noob

#

just don't

calm grail
#

ER REALLY good

royal lantern
dawn heath
#

Double Vanish seems like a ST loss we already have amongst the weakest st of all meta classes in m+ build

royal lantern
#

2charge vanish is really really bad for no gain

dawn heath
#

Seems very bad to me

royal lantern
#

its just, on mythic every bit of add dmg helps, AND singular focus actually has some value there

#

cus you have the boss marked->adds spawn->CT a single time->all the ct ticks do boss dmg with singular focus there

calm grail
#

Oh for sure, I just figured with that phrasing, and since a majority use it on mythic, he was talking about heroic.

!vanish

prisma monolithBOT

Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:

  • Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
  • Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied

As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.

does atrophic poison stack still? if so how much dr is it giving?

coral ibex

no

its just 3.6% damage reduction

spice surge

#

Do we switch targets in the opener to spread bleeds? Might be wrong but seems like there is no benefit to doing that unless you have more than 5 mobs?

spice surge
#

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

coral ibex
#

its pretty minor but technically a gain on larger packs

blazing pumice
#

just mouseover spam shit

#

doesn't matter on 4-5 targets tho

idk what to believe

crisp walrus

Not swapping target on pulls with 5 or less mobs is better if you have a funnel target

#

extends duration 4 stealth garrote on the big guy

#

super small difference though just do whatever is easiest 4 you

pliant roost
crisp walrus
#

If its more than 5 i would definitely try to practice switching targets

#

so what are everyones thoughts on the new changes? Is it a nerf or a buff?

crisp walrus

Do any of you use a cancel aura macro for darkest night on ambush?

Considering getting it so I don't have to manually remove the buff after each pull lol

you guys legit Break me

Only situation I could see that being beneficial is if you have like 6 secs left on DN going into a pack and know you won't envenom before it expires.

spice surge
#

What is the point of cancelauring it

coral ibex
#

"gotta avoid the new bug"

crisp walrus
#

i actually dont know lol i just hate the bug

coral ibex
#

you can avoid it by opening with garrote

crisp walrus
#

for some reason ive gotten it into my head that i should always open with ambush

coral ibex
#

you only need to ambush if you dont have the capstone

#

its better to open with bleeds otherwise

crisp walrus
#

i am a moron

leaden viper
#

What is the bug btw

crisp walrus
#

Am I not wasting combo points on large packs trying to get to 7 though?

coral ibex
#

no, you need to spread improved garrotes anyway

crisp walrus
#

yeah but that wastes 2 combo points

coral ibex
#

how does it waste 2 combo points

crisp walrus
#

because improved garrote gives 3 combo points?

proven jasper
#

Double garrote gives you 6 cp

Wouldnt that suck though?

kinda wish the hybrid build had blindside

How

#

Huh

proven jasper
#

the capstone comes from the mark???

glacial crypt

stealth aspect they mean

xd

Consuming the final mark gives you the capstone, if blindside reapplied it you would miss out on consuming the final mark a lot of the times no?
