more raw than japanese sushi

meager knot
#

what 4 poisons should i use. sorry if dumb question just new new to rogue

rotund oak
#

deadly,amp,crippling,numbing for general use

#

for raid u might replace numbing for atrophic

meager knot
#

the build i got currently has atroph>numbinng for m+

#

speeds build

golden loom
#

atrophic = less group damage, numbing = less damage the tank takes from mobs autoattacking, so whichever you need that fits that

grim jay
#

Like salmon

rotund oak
#

japanese is raw iirc

grim jay

Based other cultures

When you vanish for the KB window, it’s not vanish at 6sec, it’s vanish and “break stealth” at 6 sec to be optimal right?

#

And shiv, would be better at 9 sec compared to 7, guaranteeing the last tick of kb gets covered…?

winged gust
#

better self esteem means better performance overall 😎

cyan karma
#

Just trying to polish my game and make sure I’m understanding the formula…

blissful pecan
#

Do you guys change opener after checking ambush crit?

#

If ambush doesnt crit ambush-garrote-rupture doesnt consume DS mark

#

But if i fan of knives-rupture then i might lose 1 cp

golden rampart
#

is it dps loss to macro pot + skardyns to deathmark?

#

like should i press those before i deathmark?

grim jay
#

Then its harmful

grim jay
golden rampart
#

okay cool

gloomy heart
#

taco bell is so good but so bad

#

toilet destroyer

west crown
#

just ran into a rogue on alt thats dropping amp poison for ttk and has no IW

#

just something else

shy creek
#

let him cook

shy creek
#

Its vanish in order to proc master assassin however, which also works in stealth

#

so technically speaking, if you didnt want to press anymore abilities, it would still do what it was intended to do

shy creek
#

If y ou are talking about single shiv charge, then you're hitting it on the 8th second to cover the last 8 seconds, you shouldnt ever be missing the last ticks of KB

west crown
#

earliest press is on 8

#

for 1 shiv charge

shy creek
#

^ mb

subtle tundra
#

when boss fights drag on for 4m+ you kinda appreciate some more st...

cyan karma
#

Yeah thanks guys, just want to know what was better when things get hot you know…

subtle tundra
#

fuck this btw, m+ bosses should be 3 min tops

#

even on the highest keys

shy creek
subtle tundra
#

make timer shorter

shy creek
#

Yeah im lowkey down for that

west crown
#

what takes longer, 1 boss fight or 1 pack

shy creek
#

20 minute keys sound way more fun

subtle tundra
#

4 packs is 1 boss fight

cyan karma
#

Cause it’s hard sometimes to line perfectly… but good to know going slightly later then early is better, and yeah, we’re hitting that first garrote from stealth bang on 6sec

shy creek
#

You're just reapplying an improved garrote after you vanish

cyan karma
#

Yeah I understand

shy creek
#

This is also because deathmark duplicates your bleed, and thus improved garrote is also duplicated

west crown
#

Just get in the habit of shivng on 7 secs and you wont ever fk it up

cyan karma
#

Just see a lot of people say vanish at 6… but it’s more like 7 and break at 6

shy creek
#

Well break is sorta implied, you wouldnt just stand around doing nothing in stealth

#

But yeah

cyan karma
west crown
#

no dont do it on 9

cyan karma
#

Not 7… this is my query when shit is getting hot in high keys and I’m wondering if I can fit another envenoim in

balmy condor
#

9 or 7 your kb gonna be stacked regardlessw

subtle tundra
#

well i dont play ttk for the st only

balmy condor
#

Who cares

west crown
#

last tick doesnt matter?

cyan karma
#

I get that it’s 8 btw, I undersstand every thing, just working out the rough side of the game play

west crown
#

I know a lot of sin "doesnt matter"

balmy condor
bronze pike
#

Twist DEEZ NUTS

subtle tundra
#

i like prio, and i only play it when theres an abundance of energy in ST(add fights)

balmy condor
#

It caps at 50

bronze pike
balmy condor
#

Youre hitting the cap in like 5-6 seconds during dm

#

Who cares if it’s 8 or 6 or 7 or 9

#

All the ticks are the same or at minimum like 45 vs 50 on the first tick

west crown
balmy condor
#

What’s it matter

#

Yeah that’s cause they’re brainless

#

And they think it’s 10.2

#

10.2 the cap was 99

#

So it actually ramped the full duration

#

And you kinda struggled to get to 99 a lot

#

We have ttk and the cap is half of what it was

#

We’re legit stacking twice as fast for half the cap

#

It’s not comparable

west crown
#

The more I'm here the more I understand the "play 10% of the time wrong and it doesnt matter"

balmy condor
#

Yeh

shy creek
#

I think obsessing over last tick of KB is overkill

balmy condor
#

It’s not even overkill

#

It’s just doesn’t make sense

#

There is no basis for caring about the last tick

west crown
#

fk it shiv at 13

shy creek
#

shiv at 14

#

Idk trying to get microsecond timings is probably when it becomes overkill

balmy condor
#

Your kb tick at 8 realistically is just as strong as the last

#

So like

#

What difference does it make

shy creek
#

This is only true in DM though

#

In normal KB it probably matters a bit more

balmy condor
#

When are you vanishing outside of dm?

shy creek
#

Just shiv, not vanish

balmy condor
#

Ok sure but we weren’t talking about shiv

#

Also the kb outside of dm is worthless

#

Idk if you’ve checked logs

cyan karma
balmy condor
#

But the damage during that is barely noticeable

shy creek
#

Yeah it relaly is nothing

#

ST target rogue damage is sad in M+

#

but w/e we get everything else so i dont complain

west crown
#

shit we even get single target in raid now

#

cant complain hardly anywhere

shy creek
#

I just got my first 99 parses on the ST fights in raid

subtle tundra
#

i will like when next tier we arent the top tuned ST spec in raid so our m+ st will be actually tank dps

shy creek
#

I cant wait...

grim jay
subtle tundra
#

😂

shy creek
#

surely one of the 3 specs will be solid

grim jay
#

Because who cares about outlul

rotund oak
#

Its gonna be a sub moon boys

shy creek
#

when are sub buffs coming out

#

this week?

#

11.07?

rotund oak
#

wdym coming out

#

deathstalker is already buffed

shy creek
#

o

#

what LOL

#

howd i miss this

snow quest
#

Still the least played spec in m+ I think

rotund oak
#

yup

#

and its silly powerful

subtle tundra
#

the weird thing is how you assumed it was coming out with the patch

rotund oak
#

u destroy bosses

shy creek
#

im a league player

snow quest
#

Yeah it's quite good now

shy creek
#

i just assume whatever balance changes are coming come in the next patch

grim jay
#

Not strong on overall = noone plays it

#

Especially with sin just being better

rotund oak
#

its not better

shy creek
#

idk about that

#

sub good damage, idk if it beats out garrote ever

grim jay
subtle tundra
#

sin prio

#

sub

snow quest
#

Boss damage in m+ doesn't seem that important this season aside from a few burst windows

subtle tundra
#

thats just how dungeons are designed

rotund oak
#

sin is just as good for overalls

#

sub does more st

#

like there are bosses it can do twice as much

grim jay
#

2.2m boss damage and noodling on the important pulls

#

Great

#

Also no relevant prio

snow quest
#

If you can do the same aoe pulls and have better st it could be good, but that's typically not the case

grim jay
#

In comparison

subtle tundra
#

people dont realise how important aoe is, having the dps to kill big packs fast

#

thats how you get time

grim jay
#

Ye

snow quest
#

One less pull overall in a dungeon helps timer more than boss damage usually

#

Unless there are bosses with enrage or something

shy creek
#

prob the only exception to this is mists

#

but even thats a pretty far out there exception

snow quest
#

Stitchflesh before changes too I guess

grim jay
#

Youd just respec before stitch Surebud

shy creek
#

Think NW has too many large pulls top lay sub

#

LOL

grim jay
#

As they already did

#

On high keys

snow quest
#

Yeah I've seen that

golden crane
#

Should I be using tempest in ST guys ?

grim jay
#

No

golden crane
#

Just spend it on extra envenoms?

grim jay
#

Well yes

#

Its your main damage

#

And your main spender

cyan karma
#

I asked this a couple of days ago… but it still baffles me how an extra bleed over a long period wouldn’t be a positive… like I get that it’s a chunk of energy loss and the loss of 1 envenoum which turns out to be, I guess 3 or 4 gcd’s when you consider the builders to get back to a 5cp envenoum… but yeah… apparently not

royal lantern
#

well, its simple

#

outside of crimson tempest, which is overtuned as fuck

#

bleeds do no dmg rn

#

cus a dot based spec doing dmg with dots is blasphemy or smth like that

shy creek
cyan karma
#

I’m just chiming in on @golden crane question and it’s 7pm where I live and I like to drink and ask stupid rogue questions while I watch my kids play on the lawn 🙃

#

But yeah CT in ST

royal lantern
#

not a thing

cyan karma
#

no good 🙅‍♂️

royal lantern
#

or more like

#

we are actually dangerousely close to actually do it

#

but not right now

shy creek
#

I think its like a super marginal dps gain if youre maxed out on energy afaik

royal lantern
grim jay
shy creek
#

but also its because its damage scales primarily with target and sustaining its uptime in single target over envenom would be difficult

manic sphinx
#

Any tips to stay in stealth while running down to first mini boss in arakara?

#

i know it's not needed, but as a new rogue, stealth still helps me spread stuff easier

shy creek
#

Shroud *

manic sphinx
#

ah, hmm

#

does that keep us out of combat?

shy creek
#

Technically you shouldnt be in combat as ur running down to begin with

#

Unless ur hitting something

royal lantern

ye

golden crane
prisma scaffold
#

Hi guys on stitchflesh do i prep deathmark on the hook add before boss comes down to transfer or just vanish and apply on the boss when he lands?

cyan karma
golden crane
cyan karma
#

So 5 is key. If your lazy like me, hit the same target twice with rupture to achieve exactly 5 😉

golden crane
cyan karma
grim jay
#

And you dont need energy past 5 targets either

#

So there would never be a reason you wanna spread, unless it actually INCREASED the damage of your rupture

#

Or they finally buff it bigtime

golden crane
#

I shouldve come to this discord earlier haha, im newish but looks like ive been playing the class all wrong

subtle tundra
#

unforch

#

current design + wanting to go away from dots for a whille

grim jay
subtle tundra
#

patiently waiting for legion classic

#

just a couple more years

#

(cant wait to level 6 rogues to get my legendary)

#

(cant wait to do daily world tour of every activity possible)

idle acorn
cyan karma
vocal wolf
#

chill way is the way :p

subtle tundra
#

swapping targets should be assas thing...

fallen arch
#

Oof remember SL gameplay when we tab targetted to everything all the time

cyan karma
#

I guess that a rouge thing though not assa

idle acorn
subtle tundra
west crown
#

hell nah, I don't want to play melee spriest

subtle tundra
cyan karma
idle acorn
#

you still want to if you're not in stealth tho to spread the bleeds

cyan karma
subtle tundra
#

for friendly targets you use mouseover usually so you dont lose dps

#

xd

#

(not really needed for rogue, shadowstep only exception)

cyan karma
#

I do have it all set up for mouse over though.. bleeds etc

idle acorn
#

i use a target focus keybind + focus kick

frosty bridge
#

Focus kick and stun are your friend for simplifying kicks

cyan karma
#

Yeah I do all that… what I forget is the optimal mouse over bleeds

frosty bridge
#

Get that advanced focus cast bar weakaura that reminds you to kick specific things

gloomy heart
#

gl on vaults today na brothers

frosty bridge
#

When you hear "focus" just press that focus kick

cyan karma
#

Ye I got Somthing, it goes pew pew, or di di di 😂 it’s really good trust… probably what your talking about

#

😂

blissful pecan
#

how do you guys log on heroic queen?

#

should i just discard splatter

balmy condor
#

hell no

#

#1 rule of parsing high is that if you can pad, you pad

#

caustic is legit your only aoe

#

why would you drop it

frosty bridge
#

I guess because in heroic fury warriors press 1 button and webs and adds disappear

#

But yeah, 1 envenom with caustic on the webs will still do more than internal bleeding

balmy condor
#

yeah internal is REALLY bad

frosty bridge
#

fuck instant burst classes fr

royal lantern
#

less padding for the rest

blissful pecan
#

I guess tricks of trade + cleaving between 2nd phases helps

royal lantern
#

huh

balmy condor
#

wjat

royal lantern
#

why tricks

#

what cleave

blissful pecan
#

Cuz otherwise they attack you

#

Dont they?

balmy condor
#

you just fan them as you full sprint to the shield guy

frosty bridge
#

ah the adds

blissful pecan
#

Yea

frosty bridge
#

they die in seconds, gotta fok their ass

#

But ye, press tricks while doing it

balmy condor
#

I mean you don't hit the smallies

#

you literally just fok them

#

they're combo points for you to use on something that matters

#

but you don't really even need to tricks do you?

#

I've never had to tricks them

blissful pecan
#

Maybe im still thinking the first week’s ansurek

royal lantern
blissful pecan
#

Cuz our RL told members to not touch the adds until tank gets up

#

Maybe it was hard to keep aggro or smt

balmy condor
#

you aren't touching them

#

you're pressing fok

golden loom
#

I usually tricks + evasion before attacking the guy on last platform

#

since I tend to connect on him before tank and got meleed for like 5 mill once

balmy condor
#

yeh idk my tank just like

#

runs?

blissful pecan
#

Its all g, i got 97

#

Satisfied enough

frosty bridge
#

i do it because i sprint and step them but

#

They just die too fast catcry

blissful pecan
#

Turned to pink at last

golden loom
#

is sub good on ovinaxx or did you 100 it because noone plays sub? kekw

balmy condor
#

probably the latter

grave depot
#

rank 1 of 1 surely KEKW

frosty bridge
balmy condor
#

dude it's the bottom

#

and the next lowest

#

is double

frosty bridge
#

Whispy why are you up man, isn't it like 4 am in the states

balmy condor
#

1am

frosty bridge
#

Wtf

#

West coast?

balmy condor
#

yes

frosty bridge
#

Damn, i didn't know the time difference was 9 hours ever

balmy condor
#

yeh always 9 hours to central eu

#

but like idk

#

I never sleep

#

famously even

#

I'm up till like 4:30 every day

#

and then wake up at like 9:30-10

golden loom
#

not to flex or anything but I do think I have the most impressive 100 parse here

balmy condor
#

holy he's large

#

I haven't done LFR in 3 expansions

#

is it worth

golden loom
#

got 3 irl friends to start playing so we jumped into LFR

#

was fun atleast

frosty bridge
sharp viper
# balmy condor is it worth

some good transmog is from LFR - and you can even upgrade it to get the normal appearances. 100% worth it 💯 🔥 100rogue ❤️‍🔥

frosty bridge
#

If you're lacking a piece

balmy condor
warm vortex
#

Big Tuesday lecture time

balmy condor
#

oh no I won't have tier for the 7 pulls of sikran prog

balmy condor
#

the horror

#

what ever shall I do

subtle tundra
#

yea warcraft logs, im not locked in thats why i blue parsed ovinax

#

holy shit

warm vortex
#

Or class time rather

subtle tundra
#

fuck you

warm vortex
#

Varas have you considered

#

Locking in

subtle tundra
#

i finally got my sikran 99 parse

#

(no mechanic on first cds)

balmy condor
#

gearing is already insanely fast

#

idk

subtle tundra
#

(wowwwwwwwww)(great design)

balmy condor
#

unless you're like top 100

#

you have legit no reason to sweat

#

you're not getting gear checked on bosses in 2024

sharp viper
subtle tundra
frosty bridge
balmy condor
#

for the amazing gearing systems of world of warcraft?

#

I'd fucking hope not

frosty bridge
#

making their characters stronk

golden loom
#

lowkey looking at these LFR kill times... maybe it is harder than heroic

frosty bridge
#

i mean many definitely play the game for that reason alone

balmy condor
#

gearing in this game sucks though

wind mural
#

will extending the energy bar affect the shiv/thistle tea timer at all for when to use on kingsbane for example?

Doing this so it matches the new width of core abilities

subtle tundra
#

ill fucking touch you

sharp viper
balmy condor
#

like you spam the same dungeon 50x, don't get the drop you need

warm vortex
#

Me first pls

balmy condor
#

and otherwise it's just equip random shit and throw your weekly crest cap at them

#

gg

warm vortex
#

Whispyr have you considered manifesting the grace with your mind

balmy condor
#

it's like objectively not an interesting gear system

frosty bridge
#

not saying you're wrong but humans are just animals with slightly better brains and thumbs

subtle tundra
#

i need to farm a focking skardyns for my monk

#

GGGGGGGGGGGGRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

sharp viper
frosty bridge
#

remove valorstones for one

#

currency that should not exist at all

#

especially not with a cap

snow quest
frosty bridge
#

it feels so bad gearing an alt, upgrading a 2H and all your stuff is gone

sharp viper
#

i don't mind valorstones but the cap is a tiny bit annoying (not really relevant if you play the game though)

subtle tundra
#

i have a candlestick and its actually bad asf cause i use rising sun kick to get my whirling dragon punch but i have too much haste and fists get reset and dont get to use it

#

AAAAAAAA

frosty bridge
#

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

normal mist
frosty bridge
brazen sluice
#

does our rotation change with this build? since its simming highest in dslice?

golden loom
#

make them warbound transferable, feels shit to be giga capped on main and then not have any on alts

frosty bridge
#

Gearing main feels genuinely good and paced nicely

#

But man

subtle tundra
frosty bridge
#

God forbid you try to gear an alt now

kind leaf
#

i don`t understand how u guys do it... i have no idea what i do wrong on queen to get such low logs :S

frosty bridge
#

50+ keys just to cap on gilded, at least make them transferable

brazen sluice
normal mist
frosty bridge
normal mist
#

12 per completed in time

frosty bridge
normal mist
#

We have like 1000

frosty bridge
#

It's awful yeah

subtle tundra
#

make the achivment 636 requirement already

frosty bridge
#

Will the cap cap out soon? Considering we can't spend more than 1260 crests?

sharp viper
frosty bridge
#

Well i guess crafting yeah

subtle tundra
#

so, no

frosty bridge
#

Fuck

blissful pecan
#

Im just waiting for 11.0.7 ring to come out

subtle tundra
#

im probably crafting like a 7th item on rogue

#

not probably

sharp viper
#

I'm out of items to upgrade at 637.63

subtle tundra
#

guaranteed

frosty bridge
#

Idk what to even craft anymore

#

Outlaw stuff i guess

subtle tundra
#

ill craft a back, cause my current embellishment is a ring and rings will be ansurek + .7 ring

frosty bridge
#

No Rashanan?

blissful pecan
#

So fking expensive

blissful pecan
#

For 636 gear

frosty bridge
subtle tundra
#

i have it but i dont play it

frosty bridge
#

But in maxed out on gear on reset so prolly crafting gear after that

golden loom
#

what do cape do you use if not rashanan? the ulgrax one?

warm vortex
#

I’m at 636 and I want the crest DC

frosty bridge
#

Well i guess

warm vortex
frosty bridge
#

First boss is crit mastery no?

blissful pecan
warm vortex
#

Just press feint

subtle tundra
#

like, any cloak?

frosty bridge
#

So you can get that instead of crafting a back

sharp viper
subtle tundra
#

rashanan isnt dps

blissful pecan
#

Sim it

#

But idk i just cant any capes at all

tawny geyser
subtle tundra
blissful pecan
#

All my gears are at 639 but my cape is 619

subtle tundra
#

so its gonna be a cloak

blissful pecan
#

💀

subtle tundra
#

its the slot with the lowest stats

#

so 3 ilvls loss isnt that big

#

i have 639 everything else

tawny geyser
#

My worst parse fight is Ulgrax on Mythic...I have no fucking clue how to get above 95 on that fight. I tried everything.
Internal Bleeding, Castic Spatter, Crimson Temptest...bro nothing works.
Can't hit higher than 93 😦

kind leaf
blissful pecan
#

I think u wanna save cloak for rashanan cape no?

sharp viper
#

I want uncapped crests so I can finally get embellishments crafted for m+

subtle tundra
frosty bridge
subtle tundra
#

i have the cloak i just dont wear it

frosty bridge
blissful pecan
#

Like same for rash and ovinax

#

Really hard to parse on

tawny geyser
cobalt sphinx
#

you can parse ulgrax with low add damage

blissful pecan
#

Ppl have like 3M dmg on those bosses

subtle tundra
#

yes log culture is based around being let to pad

blissful pecan
#

But

tawny geyser
#

Meh, I'm doing fine on other bosses on Mythic they're all 95+ but Ulgrax is the only one below 95. its so annoying.

cobalt sphinx
#

i got a 97 on ulgrax with barely any add damage

blissful pecan
#

We can always get sikran and kyveza logs

subtle tundra
#

everyone is except you is full st, you use cds in intermission
kill boss right after 2nd intermission

blissful pecan
#

Or court

subtle tundra
#

get 100

#

youre such a good player

blissful pecan
#

Cringe tbh

sharp viper
#

cause parses really matter

subtle tundra
#

thats how the game has always been

cobalt sphinx
#

1.4 is orange on ulgrax

#

just do more boss damage

subtle tundra
#

parses are easier than ever to get

#

cause of the dmg buff

frosty bridge
#

did you see what happened when wclogs removed rashanan add damage from logs

blissful pecan
#

No one

#

Kills adds

#

Hahaha

frosty bridge
#

Some guilds legit wiping to adds because nobody killed adds

blissful pecan
#

Everyone go full st

tawny geyser
#

and do boss dmg?

blissful pecan
#

Dont u want to still take splatter tho

tawny geyser
#

Yeah idk, im asking now

blissful pecan
#

Heard IB is dogwater anyways

tawny geyser
#

I talk with a buddy of mine @hollow elk he got rank 1 with Crimson Tempest.

subtle tundra
#

💀

blissful pecan
#

#

💀

subtle tundra
#

if ib wasnt a 30k dps talent id play it

#

but really not worth

tawny geyser
#

Well it used to be R1, now it's not anymore, but yes it was CT.

#

But then again it was also October 30th

cobalt sphinx
#

yeah i just go like 80/20 boss/add damage not like 55/45 like the rest of the raid

frosty bridge
#

why are there no fatebound parses for kyveza or sikran angrycat

blissful pecan
#

I guess no one likes casino

cobalt sphinx
#

i'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with RNG

frosty bridge
#

speak for yourself kit_clean

#

but yeah you're prolly right

#

Idk

#

its so chill to play tho

limber lion
#

Because 99.9% play Deathstalker

tawny geyser
#

Well they are shoving it in our faces, even on Sub now.

frosty bridge
limber lion
#

If Fatebound was a lot better, you'd see more people playing it

#

People play what other people play

#

It's a flock

#

A herd of sheep

#

A murder of crows

frosty bridge
#

a school of fish

subtle tundra
#

except i tried fatebound and felt like shit

#

i feel like i should ve popped off on dps, look at log after and just ?????????????

blissful pecan
#

Like

#

I dont wanna lose darkest night+supercharger 6M evenom

subtle tundra
#

only good thing about it was tracking stacks to see your highrolls, that was fun sometimes

blissful pecan
#

Thats my only dopamine playing this talent

subtle tundra
#

but then id get to 5 and lose it and just be upset

limber lion
tawny geyser
#

whispyr typing 5 min...pin incoming

subtle tundra
#

i raid without details

blissful pecan
#

He fell asleep on keyboard dw

limber lion
tawny geyser
#

that too yea

limber lion
#

His cat has attacked the keyboard before as well

balmy condor
# sharp viper how would you improve the gearing system or change it?

I mean unironically I would rip off like a half dozen ARPG games. Like take the tempering system from d4 and add some interesting effects, steal a crafting system from poe or lost ark or something

at the minimum make stats more interesting than what they are now. Every single stat is a variant of "everything does more damage". Crit has some minor things like seal fate but generally doesn't really impact players or provides anything interesting, haste doesn't provide anything interesting at least for rogues, casters the gcd gets lower and cast speed and stuff that could be interesting sometimes. Mastery? lets be real most masteries are just "90% of your damage does more damage", and vers is well, vers. So for starters just change how stuff works and interacts like that. Bring back multistrike or something, add some interactions for haste/crit that actually mean something, change masteries to be tangible to the spec. Like don't make assa mastery "poison and bleed", that's literally my whole fucking spec bro what do you mean "poison and bleed". Oh no my mutilate isn't buffed that's crazy. Make a choice node talent that buffs mastery by 50% but it only works on bleeds, or only works on poisons, idk man. Like do SOMETHING. Give me a crafting bench with +rank to talents. Obviously not actives or whatever, but like imagine if you could take a ring and craft +1 to zoldyck, or +1 to dashing or +1 to blindside or something. Put that on amulet/rings and you could have like a rank 5 zoldyck if you wanted to. +75% execute damage poggers. Or like add a special trinket like during hellfire citadel. They had class trinkets that didn't really do anything special, just like "ambush and garrote does 30% more damage" or "envenom increases the crit chance of mutilate by 20%".

Like every system blizzard introduces is meant to keep the player logged in. Thats why you can't just grind out 3000 crests in a week, or why drop rates from dungeons are low, or why there's no bad luck vendor for pve drops. It's to keep player metrics up and introduce friction, and that's fine. But they can change the systems to give us the pieces and let us alter them and craft them and change them in ways that are interesting. Like yeah maybe you want to have +3 zoldyck ranks for raid, but maybe you want +2 scent of blood ranks and +1 poison bomb ranks or some shit for your m+ set cause it lets you talent into the right side. Or maybe you can like equip a trinket that instead of doing damage just gives you arterial precision, or +1 vanish charges, or fucking idk man for the exsang enjoyers just passively makes your bleeds do +75% damage, but at half duration so you have to dot a lot more. Adding complexity like that would also go into their goal of killing sims slowly and making things more situational and is just healthier for people who want to play like that. Like that's a powerful bleed choice, but maybe you can do the same thing for amp poison, like make amp poison proc at 4 stacks instead of 10 or some shit.

I'm not a dev, I'm just spitballing random shit but like fuck

GET DOWN

frosty bridge
#

Holy

blissful pecan
#

Holy shit

tawny geyser
#

yep

#

alright time to make coffe

limber lion
#

Alrighty

subtle tundra
#

im something, hi

#

c-cheesed to meet you

cobalt sphinx
#

yeah pve dps and gearing is a just very strict numbers vs very strict numbers, i feel like it would be a whole redesign or game flow overhaul to deviate from that at all

sharp viper
cobalt sphinx
#

details and colored bars is the whole game

#

it's so hard to think of wow being anything different from that

tawny geyser
#

Man I'd love a gearing system where on gear you can choose to add a point to your existing talent, that would be dope.

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean when the games gear boils down to "is 300 mastery more than 300 vers"

#

it's no wonder why top gear exists

#

like oh which one of these trinkets is better

#

the one that gives me 4000 crit 10% of the time

#

or the one that gives me 800 crit 50% of the time

#

it's the same shit man

frosty bridge
#

Lowkey it's time to bring back power systems

balmy condor
#

no

warm vortex
#

Also if they added a vendor for pve wouldent it just make gearing faster

balmy condor
#

blizzards grubby little paws can't handle power systems for more than 1 patch

#

that's really the core of the issue

warm vortex
#

Bring corruptions back

#

Please

frosty bridge
#

why not, expansion wide power things are fun as long as acquisition isn't horrible

balmy condor
#

blizzard loves spending a ton of time designing stuff that's like half-baked and needs iteration

limber lion
balmy condor
#

letting it iterate for a year

sharp viper
#

@balmy condor should I craft +4 to shadowheart? sims tell me to go +3 to zoldyck but top logs always use +5 shadowheart

balmy condor
#

and then hammering it into the ground

cobalt sphinx
#

it sometimes feels terrible when they DO try something new like spymaster's web, or maybe evne whispering incarnate icon

subtle tundra
cobalt sphinx
#

because then you're just pvping your entire guild to try to get that item to drop

subtle tundra
#

im so dissapointed

balmy condor
#

like artifact weapons and the like gems and the crucible could've blossomed into something really cool and it was started to get there

#

and then YOINK you need to give it all away cause big sword

warm vortex
#

Yea

balmy condor
#

azerite powers were absolute dogshit at the start of the expac, but they were getting there towards the end

warm vortex
#

I’m so sad I missed legion

balmy condor
#

like they were almost great

#

and then BANG

sharp viper
balmy condor
#

nope

#

expac done

#

goodbye

#

fuck off

warm vortex
#

SL covenants were just shit imo

#

The whole time

balmy condor
#

but that's what I'm saying

warm vortex
#

Like SURE they got better but were still bad

balmy condor
#

like they need to change the FUNDAMENTAL gearing

#

they need to add a system to the gearing

#

that is at the core of it

warm vortex
#

I mean the game is fun don’t get me wrong but more gearing would be nice

balmy condor
#

not slapping another power system for an expac on top

sharp viper
#

I miss reforging, made gearing a bit more interesting

limber lion
#

Corruptions were fun because they enabled some different builds for some classes, but they enabled some absolute degeneracy and powerscaling issues among some specs.

#

Corruptions were not healthy at all, but they were fun

warm vortex
#

It’s like junk food

limber lion
#

Yes, but Blizzard's newthing are the evergreen features

sharp viper
warm vortex
#

Have it once every now and then as it’s fun, but too much of it and you will die

warm vortex
frosty bridge
#

yeah idk, if they keep doing fated they gotta do that crazy short term dopamine

#

its fun but not healthy long term if unbalanced like that ye

frosty bridge
#

i hate how boring fated was the 2nd time around

sharp viper
limber lion
#

They try to stay away from the stuff like corruptions or legendary powers of the past.

frosty bridge
#

Hero talents was their example of an evergreen system

limber lion
#

Because they are not sustainable long term

limber lion
warm vortex
#

I mean I’m happy M+ wasn’t a one expansion thing

#

It is fun imo :)

subtle tundra
#

rework our hero talents...

warm vortex
#

Or can be

subtle tundra
#

make them actually cool...

#

im fucking fatebound???

#

i make my own fate

warm vortex
subtle tundra
#

im a fucking rogue not a jehovahs witness

warm vortex
#

Also shoutout to this s tier guild name

warm vortex
frosty bridge
#

Maybe they add new hero talents in Midnight

#

And then the last titan

blazing warren
#

Dang it, it got ridiculous, the past week i just constantly get declined for hours on end and doing my own key just gets it depleted so i need to push it back up, which also isnt too easy
I thought Assassination was meta : /

frosty bridge
#

Like combining fatebound and deathstalker into Fatestalker

subtle tundra
#

which can be mage, druid, dk, rogue

warm vortex
#

What is your score

kind leaf
frosty bridge
warm vortex
#

Personally I get into 12s and below fine atm

limber lion
blazing warren
#

Im trying to get to some 14s and its just rough

limber lion
#

You're not special and there will always be someone that's higher io than you

blazing warren
#

Yeah, i understand there is a lot of people but i would assume i will get some invites

limber lion
#

Have you done 15's and all 14's?

frosty bridge
#

Also yeah, getting into 15s is giga rough because there's an insane amount of people applying

blazing warren
#

Im trying to get my last two 14s

#

Got a 15 done

subtle tundra
#

15 rn is populated by the large majority of keypushers

frosty bridge
#

Like i have all 15s bar 1, and 2 16s and don't get invited

subtle tundra
#

if you queued 15 a month ago, youd be getting invites a lot more

blazing warren
#

Yeah similar to me then but 1 key level below

subtle tundra
#

the later you are on pushing, the harder it is

warm vortex
#

Tbh this is why I’m thinking of not pushing higher than I am en

#

Might stay at 3K

#

Unless I get a group

frosty bridge
#

It's not easy getting into those keys with the scaling change, you have 3400 people pushing their 15s up while 3.2 people need to time them for score

subtle tundra
#

i was getting invites to keys i was not qualified for, just cause there was noone else queuing(more than a month ago)

blazing warren
#

I thought the perception of Assassination was that its very good so i thought i would get much more invites

#

The meta getting invites was a lie?

frosty bridge
#

DK and enha perception is better

subtle tundra
#

yes and no

frosty bridge
#

And aug is kinda always invited too

blazing warren
#

🥺

frosty bridge
#

So 1 spot is locked from the start kinda

subtle tundra
#

even if youre an enha, if you list a 15 youll see 20 enhas queuing

blazing warren
#

I dont really get why people invite Augs

#

A dead slot until 16 or some 15s

subtle tundra
#

cause they copy the +18 keys

limber lion
#

Again you're not the only one

blazing warren
#

Yeah i understand that

limber lion
#

Assa is good, but you are not special

subtle tundra
#

i am your special

blazing warren
#

But i really been qing all week with like3 invites

warm vortex
#

Tbh I’m already very proud of myself

blazing warren
#

Its crazy

limber lion
#

That's just how it is

frosty bridge
#

Idk

warm vortex
#

Usually I only get to 2.5 max
So 3K this early (for me) feels good :)

frosty bridge
#

I hate how much damage and casts there is in dungeons atm

limber lion
#

If you ever host your own key, get a tank and a healer in your group

#

You'll see literally a hundred applicants in like 2 minutes

blazing warren
#

I have seen 1 Aug this season that actually played well

frosty bridge
#

Like there's way too much going on, aug kinda helps with that

blazing warren
#

So while they do give passive survival/dps i think youre better off just getting a normal dps until like 16 or hard 15s

subtle tundra
blazing warren
#

Plus, Rogue is very tanky so i dont know

subtle tundra
#

in stovevault you can let a lot of bolts go through

frosty bridge
frosty bridge
blazing warren
#

Is it?

frosty bridge
#

yeah, there are no situations where cloak is better than ams and ams is 40 seconds

subtle tundra
blazing warren
#

Going at this pace i might just leave the game, with how terrible the S2 Dungeons rotation is the Raid alone isnt enough to keep me playing

frosty bridge
#

On top of infinite passive tankiness

subtle tundra
#

theres bosses where i run out of feint

#

LOL

frosty bridge
blazing warren
#

You have Feint through with Elusiveness, Evasion and Bait and Switch

#

Thats a lot

warm vortex
#

Fuck that place

subtle tundra
warm vortex
#

Same with CoT

frosty bridge
warm vortex
#

What bosses

frosty bridge
#

Idk how people used to play rogue with 1 feint charge and cheat death back in the day

subtle tundra
#

stonevault last boss ( i died on it cause i had no more feint to press)

#

(depleted 17)

#

😦

warm vortex
#

Oof

frosty bridge
warm vortex
#

Tbh last boss SV seems pretty tame compared to rest of SV or is that a below 15 key thing

frosty bridge
#

Dk can immune mechanics on 4 bosses there

warm vortex
#

Fuck CoT

#

Miserable place

blazing warren
#

To be honest i like Stonevault

frosty bridge
#

AMS is 40, i repeat 40 seconds

#

LIKE WHY

subtle tundra
#

no debuff

#

just the circle

blazing warren
#

Yeah it is, but you can Feint+Evasion-Cloak-Feint+Evasion the daggers

warm vortex
#

Ye

frosty bridge
#

Every single dungeon there's something that DK doesn't just live, but completely immunes

warm vortex
#

I would expect that

blazing warren
#

So it aint that bad really?

#

Plus, with Shaman in every party you just cleanse the dot

warm vortex
#

You feint because you got the debuff too?

blazing warren
#

So it doesnt really matter either way

subtle tundra
frosty bridge
warm vortex
#

In higher keys I assume you co-ordinate portals

subtle tundra
#

i never get to the portals first

#

cause range preposition

#

ofc

warm vortex
#

Sureee

frosty bridge
blazing warren
# frosty bridge Why do you dislike S2 dungeons?

Cleft is a terrible dungeon, the darkenss mechanic sucks, i never liked Motherlorde, Mechagon is so run through that i am sick of this dungeon at this point, Rookery feels okayish, so does Meadery but it has a lot of annoying casts/mobs, the water dungoen probably will have some watery gimmick, ToP is goated so thats the only one i like

#

Bring back Kings Rest for one season please

frosty bridge
#

Every single boss tip and trick has a "if you're DK you can completely negate X"

subtle tundra
#

your opinion

subtle tundra
#

is dogshit

subtle tundra
#

please?

blazing warren
#

Dang people really dont enjoy ToP?

frosty bridge
#

I like ToP, except it's a bit too long

subtle tundra
#

5 boss dungeon?

frosty bridge
#

But Kings rest??

subtle tundra
#

kings rest

warm vortex
#

Perma tyrannical 5 boss

subtle tundra
#

walking simulator

warm vortex
subtle tundra
#

gauntlet aaaah dungeon

blazing warren
#

You cannot tell me last boss of Kings Rest isnt an amazing fight

subtle tundra
#

annoying EVERYTHING

warm vortex
#

Bring us gnomer bliz

balmy condor
#

the last boss of kings rest isn't an amazing fight

subtle tundra
blazing warren
#

Rest of dungeon is fine too

#

I think the bosses are nice

balmy condor
#

nah

subtle tundra
#

?!?!?!??!?!?!

balmy condor
#

you're smoking crack

blazing warren
#

The tomb boss is hilarious

frosty bridge
#

Bro

blazing warren
#

The bird is kinda wierd, i never really liked it

#

But eh, its alright

#

I used to heal on that fight and liked it

subtle tundra
#

i love dungeons that have awful design, 0 creativity allowed, annoying mechanics

frosty bridge
#

They should have brought back HoA and Tazavesh but i guess they're saving them for the more fun later seasons

subtle tundra
#

gauntlet style mob spawning

blazing warren
#

Dang you would tell me Motherlord has more creativity than ToP?

subtle tundra
#

?!?!?!?!??!

#

MOTHERLODE IS OPEN AS FUCK

blazing warren
#

Oh yeah

#

Do most of the count in the first 1/3 of dungeon

subtle tundra
#

you can do whatever you want

blazing warren
#

Skip the rest

#

So open

subtle tundra
#

ok? that was back in bfa

#

let me remind you

#

blizz reworks the dungeon

blazing warren
#

So was Kings Rest

warm vortex
#

Kings rest is fucking shit

blazing warren
#

They reworked Mists for the worst tho

#

So idk

subtle tundra
#

blizz wont rework it being a hall

rotund oak
#

motherlode is poggers

#

love it

#

KR can burn in hell

subtle tundra
#

the bosses in motherlode are fun as well

blazing warren
#

I am really so surprised people liked Motherlorde

#

I hated it so much

frosty bridge
#

ToP bosses are kinda fun except Lich tbh

#

But it's too long

subtle tundra
#

except its 5 bosses

rotund oak
#

yup,and there is the flexibility to tp out on the camp and swap out specs

#

been doing fairly high keys in BFA

#

know all the tech

frosty bridge
#

Yeah, cut the lich wing completely and it's a good dungeon

blazing warren
#

What of the other 4 dungeons from TWW?

#

That we ll get

#

Cleft is big yuck

subtle tundra
#

rookery big fun

#

fast dungeon, fun pulls

golden loom
#

Cinderbrew is gonna pop off

frosty bridge
#

Cinderbrew will be the new Algethar

warm vortex
#

Never played motherlode but it looks fun

rotund oak
#

it is,very fun

blazing warren
#

^ lies

warm vortex
#

Isn’t there a super good trink in both motherlode and PotSF

blazing warren
#

Do not listen to this individual

frosty bridge
#

I remember Motherlode fondly but tbh i hated Waycrest in S3 so idk

rotund oak
#

azeroks heart

warm vortex
blazing warren
#

What is bad about it outside of the running

warm vortex
#

Next up your gonna say how SoA is peak and that TD is good

rotund oak
#

KR is the most unforgiving instance ever

blazing warren
#

Whats TD?

warm vortex
#

We have literally said it 100 times

frosty bridge
#

What's TD?

rotund oak
#

u couldnt die,it was gg

warm vortex
#

Tol dagor

frosty bridge
rotund oak
#

TD was some massive skipperino techs

frosty bridge
#

Fuck TD

rotund oak
#

but it was bugged

#

with the wall pulls

blazing warren
#

I liked the Rogue skip in TD but dont like that dungeon really

rotund oak
#

but the cannon tech was crazy

warm vortex
#

Spires is just shit

rotund oak
#

there are like 10 skips in TD

#

all rogue ones

subtle tundra
#

td was good if you ignore the whole being in a building thing + pulling through walls

warm vortex
#

Firstly it’s like a flashbang

#

And also I love being carried for 40 seconds by angels!!!!!!

#

Also last boss is so boring and easy but pigs still fuck it up

blazing warren
#

Kinda agreed on Spires

#

Black Inky Potion goated in there

frosty bridge
#

Yeah Spires wasn't great that's for sure, but there was fun stuff

#

Like playing double angel before last boss

warm vortex
#

We need og full wailing caverns

blazing warren
#

What about Priory?

warm vortex
#

4 hour timer

#

Prolly gonna be either mid or shit

blazing warren
#

I like the dungeon but feel like its gonna get overwhelming quick

#

That boss area with constant Consecration spam

subtle tundra
#

just hope they wont abandon dungeon changes too fast

#

like they did df s2

golden loom
#

both Priory and rookery are gonna be super quick ones tho right

blazing warren
#

Tbh i dont really mind long dungeons, i liked De Other Side a lot

#

But the running was annoying

warm vortex
#

On use: ??? My beloved

subtle tundra
#

i just cant wait for city of threads to be gone...

warm vortex
#

Me too buddy

#

Me too

blazing warren
#

Whats so bad about city?

#

Dang

#

Only bad part is the spy minigame

subtle tundra
#

love gaining 1 minute of time bcs of rng spawn + patrols

#

wow!

warm vortex
#

I hope next season doesn’t have needless RP

#

Unaware

warm vortex
blazing warren
#

Well

warm vortex
#

Everything hits super hard

#

All the bosses suck to play

blazing warren
#

I think the water dungoen will have some gimmick

#

So im afraid of it

subtle tundra
#

you just think

warm vortex
#

Underwater boss

#

Poggies

subtle tundra
#

wait for ptr

#

stop thinking about it

blazing warren
#

Dang

#

Why not

warm vortex
#

They can change the dungeon

golden loom
#

I am probably the worst player in the game at CoT last boss so im happy to see it gone (skill issue)

blazing warren
#

They often dont change dungeons tho

#

So that sucks too

subtle tundra
warm vortex
#

Didn’t they change like hollow

#

Or smth

#

Because if they didn’t it would be horrible

blazing warren
#

So just because you know nothing you cannot think what it might be or have a prediction?

#

Damn

subtle tundra
#

well youre complaining about something

#

thats based on nothing

#

so uh

#

aight

warm vortex
#

Should I eat this

subtle tundra
#

5kcal

blazing warren
#

I mean thats just my prediction

subtle tundra
#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

warm vortex
#

Yes

#

Bulk diet

subtle tundra
#

wtf

#

is that project zomboid?

warm vortex
#

Yes

subtle tundra
#

holy goated

warm vortex
#

I remember making a

#

I think it was

#

“ Beer, beer and carrot stew”

subtle tundra
#

why cant real life have that

#

smh...

#

living my fantasy through a video game

warm vortex
#

True

#

I love how drinking rainwater kills you

#

I remember accidentally fucking up while power leveling first aid once

subtle tundra
#

thers hilarious ways to die

warm vortex
#

Still find it funny how the fastest way to level first aid is to just

#

Stand in broken glass and constantly remove glass from your feet

rotund oak
#

like no one hates WM

#

ever

warm vortex
#

Well

#

I can see one reason

#

To hate WM

rotund oak
#

its just poggers,the whole dark-horror-witch thang

warm vortex
#

And that is if you are a clumsy bean

subtle tundra
#

i dont like WM

warm vortex
#

And backpulo

#

Are you a clumsy bean Varas

rotund oak
subtle tundra
#

i dont hate WM, but nothing to like either

rotund oak
#

ok no s@x from now on

warm vortex
#

Is this you

subtle tundra
#

im orange cat

warm vortex
#

This you @subtle tundra

warm vortex
#

Tbh a good response to that would be

rotund oak
#

cant possibly eat

brazen sluice
#

could any assassin expert tells me if the talent build in sheet is updated or not? if so does our rotation change? im like 2 weeks rogue who wants to learn it but idk which resources to rely on other than guides and these discord channels

warm vortex
#

Wow head should be fine for rota

#

There isn’t really an “optimal build” for M+, which I assume you are asking for

#

You have a lot of freedom in choice for your talent build

brazen sluice
#

yeh but if a certain talent build has higher numbers in sims dont we use it? and does it affect the rotation?

#

coz i simmed and talents in sheet simmed higher than wowheads talent in dslice

#

so idk

warm vortex
#

And I’ve had a build where dropping kingsbane for SD simmed higher, but it would ruin my st

warm vortex
#

Show what talent build you run

brazen sluice
subtle tundra
#

play the wowhead one

#

with subterfuge + sbs

#

why?

warm vortex
#

That is a very… interesting build
If you like it you can carry on but it is worth it to try what Varas is saying

subtle tundra
#

cause subterfuge and sbs give fun

#

and they are very good for dps

warm vortex
#

For the opener with that, you would need to FoK after a rupture

tawdry mica
#

isn't sudden demise like good for "low" keys

brazen sluice
#

also the build simmed higher for me

subtle tundra
warm vortex
#

Serrated bone spike

warm vortex
#

Without SBS or subterfuge

tawdry mica
#

like good players I mean

midnight mist
#

because its bad st right

subtle tundra
#

yea buddy cause the difference between ttk sd and sb is whatever

subtle tundra
brazen sluice
subtle tundra
#

its more st than sb

midnight mist
#

i meant

#

not sbs

subtle tundra
#

yes, demise

midnight mist
#

ye

subtle tundra
#

its better than sb

midnight mist
#

what is sb

subtle tundra
#

for st
