thats my excuse for bad dps, i like it 
Green puddle with MA
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.
i think rogue has the most boring hero talents
100% ma bring it back fucking cowards
that is a take
build spend build spend, people like procs
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

i wanted a single target gigachad shadow clone that copies my rotation on the target that I used it, including interrupts and stuns
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
dont tell this guy every spec is a builder spender
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
lol even d4 has a this type of playstyle on rogue
they arent????
mate, are you trolling rn and im stupid for taking the bait
or just weird lol
they are same skills, wdym
You're off one, homie
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"
??
yes
You do realize thats most classes in the game right? They all have some builder spender System and a class unique System obviously is shared through the specs
What are blud waffling about, just build combo points, use combo points
What is that supposed to mean
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
Combo Points and energy further pigeon hole the specs to function similarly. Feral is extremely similar for the same reason
Okay I compared them and concluded both play majorly different than the other
What are we saying here
Feral is what
classic player spec analysis
Are we just saying things
at least its usually classic players
rouge specs are very versatile, we got bleedy poison rouge, stabby shadow rouge, pirate rouge, green rouge, holy rouge, furry rouge
who lose their minds upon realizing this
is green rogue havoc
anyone have a braindead weakaura
that announces when tank dies
or my focus target dies
Idk if you think high apm with procs, slow apm with many maintenance buffs/debuffs and mid apm with CD management and some buff/debuff tracking are the same
feral is the better assa rogue though
More Power to you
But its one of the wildest takes ive seen this year
Coming from feral, it’s the other way around
fr
Feral is sin without qol
feral is such a shit spec to play
Well
it feels like garbage
snapshot rotation in 2024
I don’t have feint, cloak, evasion, shadowstep
aintnoway
But we snapshot CT on ovinax for boss dmg aswell
no havoc is green warrior, green rogue is monk

Very minor minmax
You snapshot once every 30 seconds
If you can’t manage that
Then idk
Feral was great when they had claws of shirvalla, now you are just a domesticated pet cat
Bad decision
crazy how the spec didnt change at all
i miss claws of shirvalla
Feral was more fun in df tbf, I don’t enjoy the way it plays now
What???
fun police deleted gladiator warrior and claws of shirvalla
Everyone is complaining about how it now has many buttons idk
People all say smth different
same amount as df
It’s the same amount of buttons but
except throw glaive i guess if ur the other tree
It’s very specific
I mean it is
Gladiator didn't even make it out of heroic week of Highmaul. I don't even know what the point of them adding that was
but everything else is legit the same
That’s why you see
So many bad havocs
„Meta combo is different“
That’s all your damage bro
But honestly id whip out the monk. Monk is insane fun and I would alt one aswell if brew was better
If that’s different the whole spec is 
not really true
Very true since this expansion
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
Not the discussion to have on a rogue discord
i wouldnt say sin is a wildly different spec if we started pressing env dm shiv kb in a different order
„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

if u could engage in a hypothetical for 2 sec ud know thats not what i was saying 
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
Wdym
Idk what ur trying so say, they went from 5 steps during meta to 15(?)
To get their damage
Idk
Sup gaymers
but blizz said that feral players like that, so shut up nerd and shapeshift for a cr
Yes

Your opener is 19 buttons

In a correct secquence
Feral was fun in Fireland
The havoc is face roll spec is a outdated myth the spec is fairly complex
And Cata in generak
i never said it was faceroll lmao
Na but alot of people think so
just that other than meta combo its p much the same as df
normal prio and essb combo didnt rly change
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
Essence breka global 17 is crazy
ye lmao
Took me a long time to reprogram my brain
I believe that, after rolling your head on the keyboard for so long
Didn’t expect to see some dh talk in rogue this morning haha
Dh was already harder than any rogue spec last expansion too
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
My Dh mate choosing to Hunt when puddles are up on Ansurek.
Something must have wildly changed since when I played Sub in DF then
DH is for amphetamine users
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
this is some BS
How much do we benefit from pi in st? Is there any sheet with those numbers?
We don’t
i cant speak to the difficulty of sub
but havoc was 100% harder than sin
and mayb outlaw too
O.o
ye thats some BS as well
Yall got some wild statements this morning lmao
its not a fake spec anymore rly
Harder than outlaw?
i mean its not hard but wow just isnt a hard game
they came here to sniff dh copium this morning
Its not a easy spec you should try it
Havoc has a fragility to its movement and uptime that rogue specs don't have. Especially when momentum is taken
!craft
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
But Rogue also isnt easy
outlaw and havoc are similar in that theyre one of very few specs in the game that actually are an execution test
Its ragebait at this point, I'm pretty sure
u have to press the buttons well, not just press the right ones
Yea i like that
yeah its just bs from ppl that dont know anything else than yapping
havoc's mobility is a blessing and a curse
As in the speed of the button press and how much of your love you put into? 
im conflicted
Me every morning
Everyone is biased
💀
hello pumpers
Just buff moonkins
have u played modern havoc
Oop mt
in bfa and sl it was a pretty pathetic spec
Someone saying rogue isnt hard or Sap advocating for rogue being hard, thats very conflicting
bro feels confident to speak for two specs but says outlaw is easier than havoc
but its real news now
makes sense
Gday pumper
Havoc dh being called more complicated then outlaw just wild
with a couple of beers
i dunno which side i choose
never said more complicated
Harder
Do you guys also semi despair after bl? Feels like i have 0 energy 
the thing with wow is that people have a hard time differentiating difficulty and complexity
outlaw and havoc are both not very complex
I would support the old man
but you can fuck the specs up really bad if you dont execute it properly
!design
Outlaw is harder than havoc because sometimes I don't hear my game go "KACHING" and I'm not sure whether I should press BtE again
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
But the old man said Sub in S3/S4 was big hard and so complicated
just stop plz
sin is not very complex either but also has barely any execution check
if you had all the time in the world to think about your next button in outlaw...
Minmaxing with stupid killtimers was kinda complex
ya thats execution difficulty tho imo
Honestly bm more complex then sub
but hard to master
could be, for me its complexity with a time variable
different words same opinion at da end of da day
No you either can press or cant press your CD on most. I meant with the dust cdr
agreed
im playing my hunter and im watching netflix on ym 2nd screen
Helkiki gamer fr fr
I think that’s like the one spec it works well on
oops got caught
Are we back to behaving like outlaw apm are insane in the grand scheme of things
hekili is gross,i wont lose my time with silly stuff
but hunter is legit the easiest class ive ever played
That’s why it’s good for that spec
I’m pulling that out my ass if it’s good or bad
I think bm and retri are kinda equal for me
never played it, is it dumber than ret?
equally dumb
ive only tried to master hpally for pvp fam,never tried to tank or play ret
Look at the wowhead rotation
Kekw
but from ppl that play it im getting its easy
Easiest spec has to be ele now unless I'm really not understanding what that spec is doing rn
Its basically bm but half melee
I honestly feel no satisfaction playing rotations like ret
If you get hit by anything as bm you’re bad at the game
never tell a ret paladin his spec is easy they get offended
With more survivability and utility
Ret dps has always been easy to play
Many do Ive heard
Survival SL was peak
They should make it go "kaching" when you get enough holy power to use divine storm so it can be hard like Outlaw
true paladins do have those,shields and bubbles and buffs and auras ,its just a powerhouse rly
FR i get pissed off when ranged get hit by pools in broodtwister
you have like 20 yards just for yourself
without clutter and purple AMZ
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
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
God i wish SV was more like SL
It feels so bad
not stacking haste
on my survival

SV is a thing now isnt it
Ye but its slow 
ive done couple of keys with SVs
Unpopular opinion, but I liked the ranged SV more 
Your Mittagsschlaf

give me a ranged throwing shuriken rogue 
we cant say anything,they pulling out the age gun
Ranged rogue spec would kill the other rogue specs
I really tend to get bored everytime I play any ranged dps
wdym survival is alive on hunter
SoO SV was peak gameplay, when you chain procced
Just feels like the only difficulty that ranged dps has is fighting the inner annoyance that you have to move at times
Am I tweaking or did rogue use to have a combo point shuriken throw
i think the only ranged dps that makes me wanna play is mage,its just too powerful and has everything
Yeah literally 99% of the time people pick the ranged hunters over surv even if they perform worse
and even when this happens, they have some procs or instants to cover that
Dragonbreath/Blastwave is kinda fun as a mage. Because it has a positional aspect
Trap dance mate, when you had to alternate going melee to drop your explosive trap and then go range for explosive shot and wyvern. Was fun and engaging
Until you died of a frontal but w/e you had fun
Don't think I played that
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
It even was a major concern with turning wft into skyfury
when you recraft item with different embelishment, does it still ask for crests?
As in why take an enhancer if you can take ele
naw
you reuse the same enchanted crest
and spark
just need new mats
pretty sure anyway
coz in recraft tab it is currently trying to use my lower crest
should be able to reselect whatever one is already in it
Recraft only needs new mats and whatever you wanna change on it
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
like when i open recraft order for my 636 belt i just see the enchanted gilded preselected

Still dwarf and nelf for mechanics you can meld
As always
but dwarf more for the defensive aspect i assume
If you're doing higher M+, prob dwarf
Im looking forward to our st buffs tomorrow
Happy tuning day to all who celebrate
I still have 27h left to go until I can
Tauren and Hightauren animation when in stealth >>>>> any qol
oh i agree it was more in terms of which racials with utilities had more impact. Things like aoe purge from belf's etc so was just curious what current state looks like
I forgot about our EH brothers
Ye purely for what they do its dwarf and nelf
how many meldable mechanics are there currently?
Just wait until the patch and go Dracthyr
EU but I need to work 
dracthyr rogue? that sounds yikes xd
I've got orc rogue currently. Been tempted to race change to earthern allied but ill lose my shrek transmog 😅
You can stay in visage form
gnome is broken too
Can’t gnomes fail jump skips
Thats too much
and goblin!

just situational
Master assassin sims highest for me but no one seems to play it. Do I trust the sim?
ah dope - thanks!
always trust the robot
cringe tho
i dont even know what their racials do tbh haha
dracthyr racials are 2 aoe stops
MA will probs be good in 11.0.5 where you get 12seconds of it
Don’t they get extra mastery too
Well evokers get two. Other will get one
is that true

idgaf im inventing ways to use velf racial on every boss
this shit is fun
absolute cinema on queen
velf racial back before u step wrest
instead of walking away to step

cancer
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
Well I mean
Skygolems kinda bis
I do have a Druid with a full speed set I like running old content with
where in plater will i find how to do this border
?
both a generic % racials effects
assuming it has any intent at all
every 2nd race has a prof related one
unless you are human and your talent for utility is broken and actually doubles your hearthstone cooldown
and gives no second charge
almost for 4 months now

because fuck you
deserved
playing human in fantasy rpgs
just play vulpera
almost as bad as playing elves
same shit but better
im mechagnome but im going back to human or going orc
Im not human irl
mechagnome ugly as fuck tho but
Gotta play human to feel how it is
ofc, your pfp is a cat
jokes on u my mechagnome has ponytails
A kitten
Idk im kinda on the fence if I should play nelf, human or dracthyr
Every aug is dracthyr
So thats a con
will go dracthyr the second they let me transmog on them
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
just play human and be normal
also have the most beautiful hair
THAT is the real fantasy
cant relate at all
Ye male belf and female human
Or what it was
Based on
idk man i like women,call me a perv 
disgusting
i bet you also like holding hands
it shouldve been me
no i dont do that anymore man,thats creepy,im definitely holding a good sandwitch though
I wish I had one rn
Currently at about 600 ilvl. Should I use my catalysts or wait until I gear higher ilvl?
ild wait for hero track gear at least to use catalyst,would compromise for raid finder/normal ones until its actually worth
imagine dracthyr demon hunter
He has 4 wings

In dragon form
i just hate the thought that its mainly oil
Alright. Thanks
why would u combine two cringe things to create something that much cringier,thats pure evil
u are welcome friend
warsong gulch won’t see it coming
Based. I do take it on fries if there isnt anything else
good fries are tasty af by themselves
dracthyr drood would be even worse
try flapping into that dracthyr hover thing
they dont need much,some salt,maybe oregano and thats it
sap have you ever tried ffxiv
i hear it's pretty good
you should go play it and return in 2 years to tell us about it
dont have enough time to play wow,much less for another mmo fam
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
turn it all into bnet balance so you can play diablo v
after you're done with ffxiv
not by the time you come back to ravenholdt
💀
we get a catalyst charge with reset, right?
then am I missing half a spart that I just didnt get from any weekly thing I did this week?
because I did both delve weeklys
you should have 3
yeah I have 3 and a half sparks
idk i was told i should have a catalyst charge on wednesday and i had jack shit
so its propaganda
We get a charge this reset
have u ever tried lost arc?
they say its a good mmo
idk i'm on holidays, it's all a blur
sap would be coming out in a luggage bag
idk im very big man and lift for a living
lucky they have wheels
Heavy ass luggage

So do we do the item crafts with crit mastery or haste mastery?
you sim and craft what the sim tells you
Because it goes through cloak
use evasion
Unless its the literal first second of cloak
Because cloak is sometimes stronger for the first second 
ye i learned that on princess
Which rarely happens but this is one of those cases, sikrans aoe is another one
Yea that happened to me as well
Dying to aoe with cloak up...
just feint first boss if its on you...
just use evasion on that one
But ye first second of cloak works, evasion works
Evasion as in the 20% dr from hero talents?
It will dodge the frontal???
Yes
Yes
Ok this game sometimes
But stil you shoulkdnt be infront lol
It was aimed at me
It targets someone.
NW 1st boss
use FEINT
Why use feint
Or use evasion
you gotta sidestep bro ;:D
When you can use evasion or cloak
That mitigated 100%
cant use evasion more then once
And there’s 4 possible targets
Ok sure if you get 3 of them in a row
What other things like that does evasion work for then?
If u play cheat talent on a +12 key feint is not enough
But we’ll start with evasion eh
i often gets 2
But like bruh
It kills you through feint
The autos from the worms
:3
on higher yes, but since his question didnt take him for being a 12 key person xd
I mean
Well they cast some stuff that evasion doesn't work for so
It previously cloaked
Nah I'm still learning in the +10 range
There’s also a lot of funky stuff that you’ll dodge but still get the dot from
Siege horse mob’s charge
Charge from the first boss in raid
Idk game is weird sometimes
This just doesn't make sense to me though. I'm sure I tried dodging other aoe stuff and it didn't work...
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
is there a raidbots string to sim all the different ST builds out there by any chance? ^^
Is there a source where I can learn this at least for bosses?
Nope
Previously did this
Too much work
0 contribution
Now you learn via word of mouth
And if you get something wrong people will say the entire sheet is completely useless and flame you
Very fun times
So the only way is exp and warcraft logs I guess?
for a lil bit i thought you could shadowstep last boss in dawnbreaker to avoid the damage from the web aoe
Yes
not only did it not work, but i shadowstepped too early and dropped the web in the middle of the area
And asking

mega bricked the key
its weird, if you shadowstep right after the web bomb thing shoots out it still follows you into mid
you have to wait a moment before stepping
i need to be sent to jail
idk why i thought caustic is not triggered with mutilate
thought its envenom also for some reason
try it on literally everything on low keys
thats what ive been doing
does this work? procs cheat death nope
and sometimes youll find one that actually works
yo why are ppl not going CT on broodtwister, seems like it should be pretty strong no?
Probably cause spatter does all the cleave you need
and you're missing out on more DPS by taking CT
It depends on the comp
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)
except you dont
Assa felt pretty bad on Queen but thats low
CT on broodtwister is literally a ST dmg gain
🤔
Wild that all the top parsers don't use it then. Maybe they know something we don't.
add spawn->press CT once->keep hammering the boss
So there is this thing called prog
Where you don't care about parsing
And believe it or not, some groups have comps that require more AOE dmg to the adds
Uh huh
Plenty of high parses with CT
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
Yeah I guess if your group needs your CT, you should go for it.
that is a fight where you can actually play CT and also utilite that ST gain
I only see more than 20% of people using it, and it's on Mythic.
I don't think we're talking mythic here.
I find Assa talents to be wonky in raids
pressing CT is not a ST gain over running a ST build, but if you are running CT yes it is
Everyone playing different shit
ofc im talking mythic
Yeah
Literally all of the top parses are using CT lmao
I thought this was from the context of people not using it on Mythic, so I figured he was talking about heroic.
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?
ER REALLY good
yes
Double Vanish seems like a ST loss we already have amongst the weakest st of all meta classes in m+ build
2charge vanish is really really bad for no gain
Seems very bad to me
oh ye, that explains our missunderstanding then
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
Oh for sure, I just figured with that phrasing, and since a majority use it on mythic, he was talking about heroic.
!up
i tried to Rupture the spiders, but i legit cant click/tab on them lmao
reading the ST ice veins priority list says to press ambush on cd but in the diagram its only used at the start. which should i follow or what am i missing?
i try to mouseover ruptures on spiders/worms sometimes to snipe some energy
thats an opener
ambush also doesn't have a CD, its just a random proc you get in the ST build
yea that is why i said worms spiders are in tab hell
also wont survive a lot of the duration most of the time
any mutilate can become an ambush
so press ambush when it comes up and mutilate everything else?
got it thanks
I never thought about it, but does the procc'c ambush also apply mark?
no its only ambush from stealth
Does anyone know if the upcoming changes regarding our set bonus does affect us in a positive or negative way? Or even further, knows what exactly was not working right with set bonuses ?
nobody knows

they just made a pin for the hell of it
Ty
5% nerf in ST and AOE
buff*
in the CS and ST dmg change today?
so im not actually getting ambush procs unless i stealth
spatter nerf gets eclipsed by the extra st and tier buff
yes for NA, weekly reset
what? no
you get ambush procs
you get ambush procs from this
only an ambush from stealth applies the mark
You get ambush procs, it just doesn't apply the mark unless its from stealth
"free and usable without stealth"
hell yeah can’t wait to get home
is there a list of spells atrophic works on? feels like its not doing much on ovinax
3.6% is 3.6%
3.6% is 0 on absorbs
the #1 rogue didnt have that talented in his brood talent tree, i didnt notice until you guys pointed it out
Do you sometimes have a delay with getting cp after rupture during the opener? I feel like i have to wait an extra second before getting that cp for slice.
How many combo points are you spending on slice?
Sometimes i get 2 but other times theres only 1. Its oftenbthe latter that gets delayed.
is good shadow binding ritual knife trinket for m+ ?
shadow binding is very good
hiw i can take it hc version ?
get lucky with delves
The bone spike combo points have a little delay if that’s what you’re referring to
or the delve vault
But it’s like half a second
Alright thanks
You get the combo points when your bone spike hits the target. Some bosses have a longer travel time for bone spike to reach like bloodbound horror
how do you play deathstalker properly in really long fights where shit dies? like how can we reapply mark?
is there a cap on improved garrote and rupture from stealth? im switching targets to apply caustic but they wont have rupture on them even tho i applied from stealth on the pack
No thats when you eat something that doesnt agree with you. You are thinking of darkest night
why are you switching targets to apply caustic
so i have more than 1 caustic up
you can't have more than 1 caustic up
Nah
what did I just read
You put it in your main target and that’s it
Using Mutilate on a target afflicted by your Rupture and Deadly Poison applies Caustic Spatter for 10 sec. Limit 1.
emphasis on 1
When is the raid % dmg/healing buff coming?
assumption is 1 month from raid opening
ya but how do we reup when main target dies
isnt that this reset ?
vanish has 2min cd
you get darkest night when the mob dies
could be either this reset or next reset, depending if they use heroic opening or mythic opening @crystal vault
and then you slap a new mob with a 7cp envenom
!vanish
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?
Not sure if anybody has checked recently, but it would be multiplicative
i thought thats just the intended mechanism
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?
!carnage
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.
its pretty minor but technically a gain on larger packs

How long is down time usually?
the race is over so back to normal now
im told it does not stack anymore
idk what to believe
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
Thanks. So sounds like even if it's more than 5 it's not THAT big a difference. I hate having to point the mouse somewhere in wow combat...
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?
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
What
what lol
what
remove darkest night?
bro just garrote
lmao
feels better not to
??????????
someone estop this man
lol maybe ive been thinking about this wrong
you guys legit Break me
hahahaha
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.
What is the point of cancelauring it
"gotta avoid the new bug"
i actually dont know lol i just hate the bug
you can avoid it by opening with garrote
for some reason ive gotten it into my head that i should always open with ambush
you only need to ambush if you dont have the capstone
its better to open with bleeds otherwise
i am a moron
What is the bug btw
Am I not wasting combo points on large packs trying to get to 7 though?
no, you need to spread improved garrotes anyway
yeah but that wastes 2 combo points
ambush from stealth while you have darkest night bugs out bc you can't consume marks while you have darkest night
how does it waste 2 combo points
because improved garrote gives 3 combo points?
Double garrote gives you 6 cp
!transmitter
yes double garrote rupture rupture and then build actually
garrote garrote rupture rupture then consume your DN
whats the command for that, need to send to a friend
Ignore that whole train of thought
Does this mean you can put the mark an the target but wont be able to consume them?
Yes
If you never use your darkest night ye
Never noticed
But like, you should
Don't open with ambush in aoe with the capstone, I was jsut wrong
thats the whole reason 4 me
Sometimes you open with ambush, most of the time you don’t
ANYSIMS
Now i dont have to waste time ambushing haha
Wouldnt that suck though?
You're missing out on the capstone if blindside ambush procs would apply it
Why would you miss out on the capstone
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?
Wtf is blindside
ambush proc

its cursed in Here
it is but that's the fun part
Oh its talent
No, if the mark is already applied it does not keep reapplying it, otherwise sub couldnt play deathstalker
You would still consumed the last mark with your finisher
You would just reapply it faster
a valid point!
i love this channel
You wouldn’t lose any capstone things
You would end up getting more then what we already do currently
But there’s never going to change blindside to do that… I’m just memeing
Yeah if that was the case sub would sit in dance with perma 3 stacks of mark
Fr
the mark just needs a lessening of the restriction, what would be best idk
but sub has it a lot easier in that regard with dance
It feels like shit to play right now
mark is one of the only things we have to think about as assa though
Yeah but sometimes it just fucks you over
Third boss in necrotic wake takes you out of stealth instantly
imagine if blindside procced DN 
What’s dn?
oop
i guess it means darkest night, but I meant Deathstalker's mark here
i apologize
It’s actually deez nuts

Brace yourselves. We are 30 minutes from vault pictures


OH IT'S NA RESET
You mean 30 minutes from delay?
I’m sorry u didn’t deserve that homie
Imagine resetting Tuesday instead of Wednesday
I have one myth track vault slot and it’s for sure gonna contain a Skardyns Grace
Make Stealth Garrote apply mark - fixed 

why is assa rogue top parsing on rash?
easiest skardyn's grace of your life bro
It’s a lot of execute
Then make it go on more than one target
Over half the fight
the adds dont count anymore
rupture
the boss sits in execute range
For a long time
ohhhh
good for execute specs
it's just a target dummy
damn so we DO have execute at home
Yeah
i thought the 35% is just a similarity
and we're in execute most of the fight :3
It’s rashanan
both specs use rupture
rupture "marks" an enemy
there is a talent that interacts with rupture
just make rupture apply the mark ffs
idk the context but i agree
fuck ambush for proccing mark

why is sub rogue getting to pop mark on literally anything at any time
This is a simple issue
Fuck it, any ability from Stealth applies mark 
All rogue abilities from stealth theoretically should apply a death stalkers mark on a target
ive seen any ST builder, ive seen shiv, ive seen lean on without a trace (which will be less meme with the patch).
and we gotta hit vanish to just focus a diff target
“Get good” 
@simple gyro askes for alternatives for ambush
ive seen ideas with ups and downs
it would still be shit just less so, we dont have good ways to restealth during fights like sub does
Do we have the real numbers for the buffs yet? And no im asking for the numbers now %
All rogue abilities apply mark
I’d never apply it
A defensive? How about some prio healing

If I can’t distract and cast a mark on someone I don’t want it
LEts Show our vault so Whispyr would be proud of US 😉
REAL
ONE
HEAL
PLEASE?????
if they think that without a trace is a valid backup option for sin, with the patch changes, that's just so horrible
Me in siege dying in the club
I did a siege 10 this week and I was fighting for my life
Feint was basically a dps cooldown
Feint so OP
Exactly
off the gcd will be even nicer
Yea irs insane
this would be giga based
applies mark in an aoe, mark is now consumed by fan of knives

remove target cap for marks 
@glacial crypt
perma darkest night
Ass rogues going to be eating good after this patch lol
Still surprised they buffed assa
SERVERS UP
Yea their st wasn’t amazing but like sub is right there please buff that (and outlaw) instead
Did buff is on at Raidbots?

You never show up
