why
where do you guys get these "X spec looks good/bad!" informations from when they did almost 0 things yet, and rogue didnt appear in patchnotes at all 
Im asking so far with what info we do have
well
0 rogue changes at all
assa tier set looks really bad
sub tier set looks strong number wise but atm will lead to some really degen gameplay
DOOOM
thats all we have
Rupture only outside dance 
Tier set wasn’t horrendous in the dungeon.
Just very feast or famine which is like obviously not great
and sub set is "dont use eviscerate outside of dance"

sub is always catching L's, even if its the winner

Assa gets echoing reprimand fixed, sub gets a bug thats more annoying and worse numerically from the same fix
The classic
I’m a hater
known
what 
Ye when they fixed echoing
They made it so you cant trigger a mark with darkest night up
ye i remember
Which feels awful as sub
i like how instead of giving us a way to apply the mark outside of stealth
with like, Rupture
they needed to make this weird af fix on echoing
which created even more weird situations
Because if that bug isnt there you can guarantee 2 darkest nights per shadow dance with proper play, but now instead you just sometimes get too many procs and end up scuffing your timings because you cant use sectech when you want to 
And cant really play around it more than that
and I guarantee you all 8 people that play sub are pissed
(I’m sorry you don’t deserve that)
If those kids could read they would be very upset
We can read
We just dont exist
A lot of people here are prob joining their ranks next season so dont burn our bridges dog
Hell yeah, a lot more Sub rogues. Dozens of us!
I’m an insane hater
They just gotta learn to live with it
I’ll clown my own spec I ain’t above it
Stay small hater
But sub historically doesn’t have many dedicated players (assassin doesn’t either)
Nobody plays rogue in general anyway 
Mf I get big when I think of you so don’t sass me again eleem or I’ll eat that shitter like an apple fritter
Outlaw has the lions share of “dedicated players” though
As we know rogue only has two specs, Assa and sub 
So true bestie
Maybe it could be three if outlaw could use daggers in mh
you sure? all i see is them complaining about playing other stuff

This season for sure a lot of the usual outlaw mains played other specs
but they are playing outlaw tho so W for us

i need to get touched......

didnt even get aug buffs until p3 smh my head
what key level should you swap to elusiveness or should that just be a lock in talent anyway in m+
Generally it just depends on what key/season it is. I'd recommend to swap once you literally die without it
This season doesnt actually have a lot of things where feint doesnt work by itself
Is there any difference at all between using the ascension weapon in MH or OH?
if you plan on pushing id recommend playing it regardless to get used to using it
No
Aight, ty
ah ok thanks ill prob just start running it anyway to get used to it i got gunned down in a 12 siege
You have cloak and evasion for it as well
yeah the problem in question waas really the tank leaving melee range on the ship boss
is there significant advantage to keep CDs till amp phase than pull on silken? I saw both approaches on logs
it depends on your color and kill timer
but the boss has like negative dps requirement thesedays anyways
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
On queen mythic: for some reason I cannot shadowstep the wrest on the second platform, is there a reason for this?
On the first platform I can perfectly shadowstep the guardian, on second platform I can't
it can be a bit weird if you try to shadowstep while not ON the platform anymore
question
just walk a couple steps back at 2 seconds and step immediatly to make sure you dont fall down
how come sometimes when i try to clear a stack of deathstalkers with 5 or more combos, it doesnt go away?
it stays at 3
you probably ambushed a target that already had a mark
im not tho :(
i thought maybe im like misclicking my envenom on another target but im just not 😭
Or you have darkest night active
Since that for some bugged reason prevents you from consuming marks
ye fuck that's what I meant, you probably applied a mark with ambush while your darkest night is active
so it wont allow you to consume the stacks unless you apply a new mark with darkest night
Ye that could very well explain it as the guy on the first platform is far away and the one on platform 2 is close to the edge when i step for wrest
that's annoying
pathing issue, I suppose
We don’t have anything for this weeks affix right?
which one is it
nah next boss is praying not to get a KB parry on pull
lmao she can do that?
Cc orbs
ye if you position yourself badly due to the first poison pools
AoE blind on a mob near the orbs
any wing buffet's?
ah yep. thats it. just tried it
so its just a bug then?
so ig make sure i consume my darkest night then apply deathstalker?
Darkest night applies it
Stupid question perhaps, but can you soak the Volatile Spikes from EDNA with CoS?
No
nice, good to know before i tank my key
8%
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
and we wipe cus adds spawned and the tanks fucking SPRINTED INTO THEM
Raiding is fun
Shift+W bind is crazy
Do you walk forward when you cast that

hey i have a question on caustic spatter, im not sure how to articulate it correctly so just bear with me.
In simple terms, does higher mastery mean more damage with Caustic Spatter? or would a high Critical Strike % would mean more dmg? Since I assume mastery would be your poison dmg, and Crit is just your burst?
Ctrl+W for a button we never us is diabolical honestly
Caustic spatter is a residual, meaning it does damage in relation to the damage you originally dealt, and it cannot crit, since that would double crit.
If you have more mastery or more crit, your envenoms for example would hit harder and crit more, which then obviously means more envenom damage, and that’s more caustic damage
What'd you call me?
But caustic damage doesn’t double dip anything cause that would be very obviously insane
got it thanks, for context i crafted a necklace and ring to increase my ilvl which resulted a change in stats crit: 27% to 32% and Mast: 51% to 48%
My eyes glazed over
its german for "you all are cute and outlaw is stinky"
I wouldn’t know I’ve never played rogue
particular stats dont matter
Thinking about joining the assassination club coming from mage
Outlaw very stinky
Just seeing how you freaks interact
are you completely insane?
leaving mage for sin?
Welcome
Yeh that poisoned knife he put on there is 1/11th the damage of a regular generator for half the combo points and it costs nearly the same energy, on a spec where downtime while waiting on energy is normal
Most class discords have freaks
So it’s just an absolute waste
There’s definitely more interaction here
Arcane mage chat has about 5 people in it
Best way to get people to chat is to say something blatantly incorrect
Freak zone is theoutlaw channel(there are many dhs hiding there as well,practically a psychiatric clinic)
Only interaction we got around here is my tongue and @spice spire’s asshole
thats a wild dry ping
I like this gif a lot. Comedy M+ deaths are the best.
Whats the haste requirement for sin?
47%
He’s used to it dry
Stat prio > ilvl

Nah that won’t work
I ain’t doing it out of horny, I’m doing it out of principle
It’s about sending a message
cringed rly hard on this
@spice spire did you get the message?
I have many stockpiled
sap thought a message in #assassination was for real, was a fool
im old and gullible 
Haha old
Have you got the Grim Batol paladin tank one where he gets bonked and falls over? It's the best this season, imo.

It's chefs kiss
What if we all decided to @ toxicquake with out of context messages
turned 40 (3 days ago)

He would love it probably, bro loves multiple dudes at once
can i enable raid abilities for trash?
Shit you really are old, happy birthday
ty ❤️
Those are fortnite terms no?
I have a lot of haste on my crafted siphoning stiletto so using it over raid daggers even if its a 3 ilvl loss
Yeees.
No
lmfao
no
They assassinated that DK.
Look at the DH
Thought about fel charge, died.
Its either gonna be the most well written document ever or make me wanna cringe my eyes out
my take is that its something structured
Okay so you gotta prep your poisons when you’re on spawn island cause you gotta know where you’re dropping beforehand, can’t just jump blind ya know, so put on your deadly and your amp poisons
Then the moment you drop from the battle bus, you have to ambush first thing you do, cause it’ll set you up for the rest of the game with big bonuses.
If you’re against 1 dude get some wood from trees and then use your wood to tower.
If you’re against a full squad that’s when you bust out the bricks for cover since they’re gonna last longer and help you out more. Every 10 seconds though make sure you just platform with some wood so you keep gaining height
You always wanna maintain rupture and garrote, that’s your bread and butter type shit, you wouldn’t go into the storm without bandies and minis, same shit here
When you’re in a big fight, you want to throw your clingers for huge damage, shiv Kingsbane and deathmark, vanish is like padding to reposition super good when you’re breaking a tower with your clingers
After that some like low priority stuff but you wanna drink your chugs obviously, gotta keep the energy up, best done when you’re using your clingers, and otherwise if you’re gonna wipe a squad you shouldn’t hold back, use all your nades together at the same time to make sure you get a dub
Hope it helps

yup,gotcha!
I'm ready to play Assassination in Plunderstorm now.
@balmy condor can you make them have darkest night cause the next rupture and crimson tempest to do what envom does too
That sounds terrible why would you even suggest bringing back snapshotting
?
?
dog are you good
No
I just explained rotation in Fortnite terms and then got flash banged by rupture snapshot in 2025
JESUS
I am not good
At what point in the rotation do you dance and emote tho?
Gratz
Next up in 37 minutes is an auto tea malder
HUGE GZ!!!!
Hell yeah, congrats!

It’s like a train schedule but all the trains go to my nightmares
beep
Blindside haters rise up, let me muttilate!!
so we are stuck with deathstalker as it is untill the end of time
Amen
The only real hate necessary is for Caustic Spatter
Actually dunno what you are talking about
Hero talents are evergreen, it’ll get changes
HUH
all this https://i.imgur.com/AugnmoP.png
why cant it be CT and rupture aswell as envenom https://i.imgur.com/FMDy7EZ.png
Because that would be bleed snapshotting and no one wants that
as a legion baby i dont really know what snapshotting is
casting rupture is a dps loss
You "snapshot" all buffs onto a DoT and it keeps that buff until it expires or is reapplied
You’re turning everything into improved garrote
Straight up ancient tech cuz 99% of things in woW nowadays update dynamically
Feral still snapshots right?
Yep
You’d have to track which rupture on which target is empowered and if your ct is empowered
And then you gotta make sure you’re not overriding those
You’re just adding a billion levels of complexity for no reason
Also how would it even work with CT
The mark just applies to whatever you’re targeting when you press CT?
As if managing the mark wasn’t bad enough already
You’re tabbing through an aoe pack for ruptures oop hold on that one’s empowered can’t refresh that
Have to track empowered bleeds on your plater or some shit with a weakaura that hooks into it cause base UI is never going to be able to be that complex
Ahahahhahaha
That is perfect thank you
I’m going to be cranking 90s
Huge
Do you have to tab target the whole pack and apply dots to each
!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.
Would be crazy to target a pack in the distance, proc darkest night with CT, mob gets marked and pulls
Yeah I mean carnage would also need to support a similar functionality on rupture

This exact same thing happened to us 😅
Oh thx didn’t know that was for me

can i enable raid abilities for trash?
whats that mean
just quick question about Caustic Spatter how big is it's range ?
12y from center of target
ty!
Whispyr I have a possibly rogue related question for you
It's possibly rogue related?
Yes, or really anybody can answer who wants to really
What is your most hot take on the game, on really any topic of it
QE strafers are more human than AD strafers and s for backpeddle is a valid keybind
Agreed
I don't know if that's my most hot take
Give me your spiciest take
Convince me its not a hot take 
My hottest take was that Thorned would have been a funny affix if it made it past testing
Would've generated some good gifs
Oh yea it would have
SL story was not nearly as bad like most people act it was, it didnt "ruin" anything, and by saying that they often openly admit that they didnt really watched/read/listened to anything anyway (aka, everytime somebody brings up "dae the Jailer is BEHIND EVERYTHING!!!?" which was never said that way at all)

Idk I also didnt think it was that bad either
It certainly had a couple of plot holes but calling it the worst story in wow I think is a bit hyperbole
ye
Yeah there's way worse
fucking WoD exists
Looking at you cata era writing
WoD was borderline a scam
Every expansion people thought was the worst ever has had people come out and sing its graces almost on the dot 2 years after it is dubbed the worst expansion ever
I still think BFA was the worst one imo
But I also will die on the hill that BFA was a clown show for most of it 
ye, the age old OLD GOOD NEW BAD
(Not talking story just overall approval of the expansion)
BFA had some good raids though
Just the entire bfa/SL sylvanas arc is boring / hidden powers from outside power (jailor) is boring
I've just seen it happen almost like clockwork
BfA was a banger expansion for PvE endgame
the rest was a bit oof
Not for sub 😭
Sepulcher had some criminally god awful fights imo
"how is sylvanas 1 shotting the lich king (noob bolvar)??" Oh she has god powers from the shadowrealm
There was a lot of leadup if you read the book
But the book is entirely disconnected from the game
And almost nothing from it is mentioned ingame
A+ story telling
And wasnt it released afterwards?
Sometime during SL the book was released
Yeah, like its not bad per say, just kinda boring and broken
There was a tldr of it but supposedly the events started before the events of legion
It makes sense somewhat with the context of the book
But if you didnt know of its existence then it looks forced and awkward because basically nothing that happens in the book is explained ingame anywhere
Like dark souls lore is conveluted cause you have to read item descriptions etc, but at least they exist in the game 
tbf, dark souls lore is 1 of the most overhyped things ever, and that comes from a fromsoft giga nerd
And then garrosh randomly dies in a makgora in the first patch
Yeah but that was funny
like, bro, most of it is just losely connected "it was good once until it wasnt" on repeat
True
that was SO MUCH WORSE
like, the entire reason why WoD happend was in a book
Ye haha
if you didnt read the boom it was suddenly "garrosh time+dimension travled into draenor"
out of nowhere
and the last thing most people saw from garrosh was beating him in the raid lol
Kinda crazy not having played wod or anything at the time, all the media around it is amazing, from the cinematic to the music, but knowing stuff now its a dumpster fire 
Platinum wow explained this
I wont spoil the whole deal but we can blame Wrathion for that one

WoD was the closest we had to a dead wow
WoD was REALLY fucking bad in all regards
Yeah thats why anduin also punches wrathion
Garrisons own and I will die on this hill
Platinum wow the goat
However: yeah wod was so bad lmao
like, just the base thing
you pay for a expansion, do the leveling questline and then it was over, no content
lol
that was WoD
m+ didnt exist
Really good leveling camapign
no world content
One of the greatest examples of character assassination
1 good, 1decent-good and 1 mediocre raid, but the last one went for a full year
nothing else
that was WoD
Also it was the first expansion with mythic raiding (ignoring the oreparch change to siege)
So a lot of 10 man groups had to scale up and 25man groups had to figure out who to cut or rotate
It did give us flex raiding though which was nice
like, again, people REALLY forgot how giga fucked WoD was, it was legit borderline a scam
I really wonder about classic, what will they do after MoP
leveling for 5hours untill max level->nothing at all lol
WoD classic, def
Surely they cant re-release WoD
No reason not too which is funny
wod had twitter integration for the first major patch wdym 
Unless its like a gigasped up like 1 year expansion
WoD with faster patch cadence is probably fine
eh, with a deceng release schedule it can be ok
anyone have an issue with macro #showtooltip /cast deathmark /use 14 not using the trinket while in stealth?
The year of hellfire man
like, 1 of the biggest Problems was that WoD had no content AND a full year of Hellfire lol
I raided every week. Fuck
did you put the macro on your stealthbar
Was hellfire assault reclear fun? 
yeah
nothing is fun when its 1 full year the same
omg im and idiot
sorry new rouge here
Its crazy that its still awful
and imo another thing that often gets forgoten
legion launch REALLY fucking sucked for endgame
like, jesus christ
Leggo rng
AP grinding so you can play a offspec at all
Legendary rng was the absolute worst

legendarys
thanks friend
Like doing tmog runs of hellfire citadel is so boring cause of assault 
dont worry, we all are dumb 
Welp my 8+ key got tanked on the stonevault.
another DPS said after the timer.. 'Wait, you have to go near not in the portals to remove debuff?'
Hey, at least they learned something this time....?
I wanted to farm the mount from hellfire but real shit assault was so boring I changed my mind

and poor tank apologised, even though he carried
My favorite is doing Naxx, going afk in Gothic room for 5min making something to eat while waiting for him to come down from his balcony
I am not built to farm legacy content
They should hotfiz that fight by just putting a gun in the room
And you can just shoot gothic
I cashed in all my patience getting the Insane title and I dont intend on farming old stuff again
I love it cause atleast most of it is kinda fresh
Fuck unlocking nylotha tho
Noone online knows which questline to do so I just gave up
Fairly sure you can just walk into that raid now
No need for any cloak or prequest
for any of the bosses
I tried, both in desert and pandaria but it doesnt appear
Still salty. I do kinda feel you need to do a pop quiz before you can enter atleast a 7+ dungeon.
And cant get summoned without questline either 
You might need to get the neck and do the nazjatar intro to get the phasing to show up but BFA is such a mess
I thought you could just go to it these days though, like eleem says
Yeah a lot of stuff is weird
You don't have zidomri in vale, right?
Like I was able to be summoned to antorus, but not nylotha
That swaps the timeline shit?
Yeah
There was one npc like that in the desert when nylotha was there that week but it didnt do anything
Weeeird 😦
Yeah, anyways most stuff from there is ugly so doesnt really matter
Another question regarding Shadowstep. I know it puts me behind the boss in most cases, but some bosses like Rashanan i'm unsure if it just puts me in front or Yeets me off the bridge. Is there like a rule for shadowstep when it will put you in the back and when not.
No rule
My favorite part of DF was doing Terros and watching the havoc players accidentally hit Fel rush and just fall into the pit 
yea i find shadowstep a bit icky when a boss is right next to a swirly or casting a frontal or something
no
if the boss actually has a backside, it will put you behind them
if they dont/behind them is literally death (like rash) it will put you in front of them
why do you need that
the game changes mutilate into ambush when you get a proc
keyboard switch that's set for ambush is fucked most of the time so im ending up with pressing it multiple times
and that's literally only one comfy button for me to use even despite switch being fucked up
So no shadowstep on Bloodbound Horror?
idk, why would i step on that Boss
legit never used it on him
after the big aoe maybe
well yeah but im used to cast ambush on different key
i usually follow a player though
you cloak that aoe and keep hitting the Boss 
Damn, another cloak i didn't know
Like everything in WoW is almost in a way 'magic', unless literally described as physical or something, i'm not sure when to cloak or not
you can just tunnel the boss ignoring going into splits/reduce damage of cone by feint to prevent yourself from using cloak early
well, everything that is not physical/bleed
poisons aswel?
cus in wow everything that is not physical/bleed dmg is magical
yes, poison is nature dmg
cool
also you can make urself immune to line -> orbs mechanic on Kyveza by using cloak
what like just hit boss only?
you have to split for the cone right?
you can just ignore going into the cones
I have 11 finery from 4 boss kills. I'm at 16% for the buff. does it only show up when you have 16?
wdym
the quest to hand in
you can turn in once per 2 weeks
ah so have to wait for next week then
isn't 16% the cap
nah
crazy
how high does it go
i miss my warchief
new raid gonna release ~4th march cuz plunderstorm ends 25th feb
so next week gonna be +2.25% more and then you can count
gonna be like ~25% buff at the last couple weeks of nerubar raid
caps at 20 apparently
oh well, my prognose aint that far from truth
can we all agree here Sylvanas > her sister
I'll finally lock in when it hits 20%
when does sylvanus come back to this shit hole ya think? i mean she knew about all this horseshit back in legion
She'll probably pop back up in Midnight. That one will focus a lot on the Sunwell, has a Silvermoon revamp and is focussed on the different High elves and Blood elf tribes. So they'll probably gonna pluck her out of the maw or something for a 'All is lost scene, but then Sylvanas.' Or something like that.
Get out of that habit then
There's no benefit from having Ambush on a separate key now
You can add stance variables to an Ambush macro if you really want
I use something like
/cast [stance:0]Mutilate; Ambush
But it's super whatever and doesn't really matter
There's is like a weird stealth/ambush bug with vanish right? Like unable to cast muti/ambush, because you're no longer in stealth
ambush is a stealth ability
so no longer being in stealth means you can't cast ambush
i know i know. I meant like i am out of stealth, but pressing mutilate it still consider it as ambush and thus unable to cast
No, nothing of that sort
weird
Mutilate only changes to Ambush with Blindside procs
there isnt a bug ... but sometimes on pulls when ur tank is initiating before the count ends, the boss will pop u out of stealth
Otherwise it's something that you've changed
at least thats what I noticed
maybe then it's an actionbar/stealth thing yea
because i got ambush on the same button as mutilate when stealth
Yeah, that's why I use a macro for it because stealth bars are a plague
oh lol
Same thing when playing Sub rogue, gotta have macros because stealth bar is bad
And you might potentially use backstab instead of shadowstrike because the game registers the change of bar too late
Or you end up not doing anything because Dance ended and your bar takes time to change back to normal
Yeah, but it takes like 0.5s to change or whatever so it's not that big of a deal
But yeah I just use stance macros to dodge that bullet
And previously in the past just used Elvui without stealth bars
yea it isn't to bad, but i do notice it on occassion
Can i find those stance macro's somewhere or just google?
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:0]Mutilate; Ambush
Pretty sure this is what I use
It just uses Mutilate if you're out of stealth and Ambush if you're in any stealth whatsoever (stealth, subterfuge, vanish)
You use a different bar than the first/stealth bar aswel?
I just slap the macro on the normal bar and the stealth bar
So if Mutilate is on 1, then I put it on the normal action bar where 1 is and on the stealth equivalent
So you drag it once to the location of your mutilate out of stealth
Then you go into stealth and do it again
cool
that.... doesn't actually fix it though
stealth bar is coded to do the exact same thing
you're just flipping stealth bar/not stealth bar on one key instead of the whole bar
but the stance swap lag is the same
The only reliable way I've found to avoid the lag is to just have separate buttons for each
The macro felt like it helped but those are my anecdotal feelings and given that it's somewhat lag based it's not going to give reliable outcomes, it didn't feel like it solved it 100% though
And hey with snd and tea gone everyone gained button slots
if button bloat was a concern for u
What if I need more buttons
Get a second keyboard

New guy here is it frowned upon to post a paragraph question in this chat?
Yessir
Gg
My question is mostly with talent choices
Just to warn you the answer is probably "there's 500 variants and they're all extremely close so play what your preference is"
But you can still ask
Don’t steal my line
I thought that was Whispyrs line
Our line comrade
Im cool with that here was the question.
For the M+ build I have been running Whispyrs hybrid build from wowhead to great success on AOE damage however now I have gotten to a point where I'm starting to look at others builds to learn what they are valuing and why. On the build I'm using it's taking Without a trace (I assume its because the wowhead post is aimed at new players that will generally be pugging and having the extra vanish for when the pug tank doesn't allow stealth resets is needed). What is the damage difference between this build and the ones in higher keys running Lethality, Recuperator, 1/2 Supercharger over that and what advantages do those 3 talents have over the prior?
i start play assa and im not sure hot to use vanish any advice?
Minuscule differences in playing a little more st, etc. in builds
I recommend trying them out and see what’s best for you genuinely
Because the differences are kind of tailored to the content you’re running
And what’s needed to complete
Would the supercharger build lean more toward ST focus in your opinion?
Yes
hey as a new rogue what is the best weapon enhancement, Whetstone or bubbling wax ?
Whetstone
foot pedal
Maybe I never had issues with the stance bar lag as Assassination, I just remember when I made the macro that it fixed many issues that I had at the time, but maybe it was something unrelated to lag and something entirely different. It's been years, idk
But I do something similar on Sub too and it seems to work fine
Idk can't remember what I did or what's what
Whatever
Havent played since early s1 but did all the deathstalker bugs get fixed
The most critical ones yeah but not all
You're fine playing it
ER doesn't exist and you don't get random 2% talents for free
:-)
Im fine playing fatebound if need be idrc just want bigger number
I noticed assa has been top boss dps on the wowhead post pretty consistently so not really worried the only thing i care about is being the best in my shit guild
Just play Deathstalker.
Hey guys, i have these trinkets, can you help me pick what i should pair for m+ and raid please.
- Deadeye
- Crystal Aof Anu'b
- Sacbrood
- Mad queen
- High speakers accred
- Harvesters edict
thank you
Do you have skardyns?
Sim?
So getting back into wow from s1 but kinda want a new mainnnnn is rogue doing good?
It’s good today
What’s the fastest way to level these days
Questing between timewalking queues
Like story quests ? Timewalking done Tuesday?
anyone have issues with this one shotting in higher keys? not the dot the initial dmg
classic m+ moment
Cool game mode
You think it’s better to go rogue or sham??
Meantttt which is easier hahahaha I’m coming from bm hunter
Compared to bm hunter they are both extremely hard 
enh is easier than rogue
Sin rogue is way easier than enh shaman. Hardest part about sin is learning when to be patient
you played enh since the rework?
it's largely stormstrike spam > spend
yeah but its like ret, proper utility use is what actually makes enh. Rogue is put on IW and maybe blind or ks lol
in addition I think rogue has more to think about defensively
shamans are inherently tankier, rogue has to learn what it can feint, evade or cloak and when
dam? - > feint. big dam? -> evasion/cloak. but ease of class is entirely subjective
other than that our aoe stop is reactive while shamans is proactive
don't get me wrong, I don't think any class is hard in wow anymore
but between enh and rogue I'd say I personally find enh easier for the reasons I mentioned
when or what dungeons is it worth to take SD + TTK
whenever u feel like it
I don’t take any talents and I just kill the mobs with sheer will
but but casualdaddy..
so TLDR next tier set is bad?
i just use fan of knives.

i'm pretty sure theres heavy changes coming to alot of stuff when they post newer ptr builds
Yeah surely
Blizzard famously does a ton of iteration on PTR and beta builds
And definitely doesn’t just slap buggy half-finished garbage onto the test realms and then leave them there to rot because they cannot keep up with the patch cadence and rush everything out
They would never ever do that
I mean aside from when they did exactly that
you can tell every decision is for shareholder value, lol
In 9.2, and 9.2.5, and 10.0 beta, and 10.0.5 and 10.1 and 10.1.5 and 10.1.7 and 10.2 and 10.2.5 and 10.2.7 and 11.0 and 11.0.5 and 11.0.7
But believe me brother, blizzard would never rush a ptr FOURTEEN times in a row
Thirteen? Maybe
Possible
but i'm pretty sure the idea of these tier sets was copy paste shit, see what happens
Can happen
This has prolly been asked before, but ds simming, favours outlaw?
Cause im simming alot higher as that, but no chance on earth i do more damage as outlaw when running m+
ds sim damage != real damage numbers
Consequence of the sim. Dungeon slice especially.
Point of that type of sim is to compare within a single spec, comparing talents/gear
Not cross-spec comparison
trying to learn assa, how important is 2 stack twist the knife during cds on st?
its something that happens naturally
but if i want to improve, what should i be focusing on, envenom uptime? tea usages? twist the knife? pooling energy? or is the most important thing to just get as many envenoms out as possible for more darkest nights?
True, all quality stuff, definetly ni tierset is in a untestable state.
with current design
like none
you just press buttons
blizzard is fighting hard to make me not like the game
I want to like the game
but they keep trying their best to make me hate it
and they're REALLY good at it
really? surely there is something u have to think about, there must be something different in the gameplay between a guy who gets 70 parses vs a guy who get 95+?
i wont stop playing slot machine ret even tho they introduce slot machine tiersets
maybe its time to take the gacha pill so they can hire more devs
yea...
surely
I doubt the problem is with the number of devs
the person who gets 70 parses doesnt do the basics right
Salvation for me is that whoever is in charge of warlock always get demo right, but if i played afflicti hoho wouldn't i be pissed.
the problem is management and lack of time
doesnt have good gear/has bad movement/has many mechanics/has long kill timers
assa ST is really just doing the basics
But i must say, some of the stuff i read about rogue tier is very idiotic.
as long as you do the rotation, theres not too much thinking involved
less than youd assume
parsing (95+) is a lot about kill time, padding into adds and RNG
which isnt to say that people who consistently parse higher dont play better
do your burst sequence( envenom shiv kb ) and then like dont drop your bleeds lol
dont waste your CP, but... thats again just the basics
theres some specs
ww can be played very mediocrely
and a good ww just dunks on him
instead we get rng tier bonuses with a chance to not lose the chance to lose on top of a spec with 12% variance
incredible
evenenom uptime, not missing DN procs, bleed uptime, proper burst rotation to name a few things
listen man im grasping at straws here, leave me alone
insane
Do you want to think about it?
take the sub pill, its fun (unless you have to play DS)
okey, thanks. But going in to deathmark + kb without any teas is bad no?
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
But what about thinking of life, philosophy, and thats in-between
All that's in-between*
That doesn't happen cause tea has 1 min cd
i know i used to play with that macro but i found myself without any teas on my second 2min cd
also during deathmark the tea is whatever cause u have infinite energy
okay and?
it'll come back up
it's a 1 min cd
you press your tea during dm, it comes up with your kb, comes up with your dm
over and over
it auto procs tho
okay and?
it'll come back up
it's a 1 min cd
you press your tea during dm, it comes up with your kb, comes up with your dm
over and over
Using tea for energy is good!
also true
i use tea manually just to feel something...
it didnt come back up this time, which is why im wondering how bad that is and if i should try to not proc it before cds
it's not bad
if it were bad, we wouldn't macro it
idk where the pin went but the difference between casting it perfectly manually, pooling exactly right, tea on legit perfect gcds every time
vs the macro
vs letting it auto proc 24/7
is 0.13%
so
who gives a shit
what do u even feel pressing tea, theres no animation and no sound or anything
i do it to men to feel something
so this spec is just keep ur dots up, press deathmark and kb on cd and pray for good kill time?
yes
sounds boring
thats like
coming from mage
the majority of the specs
unironically
why do you think this channel is 50% shitposting
spec legit plays itself
Same animation as drinking a potion I think
i recomment sub
But since it’s macroed to shiv you don’t notice it
yeah but it just blends into attack animations kek
I notice because in blizzards jank I drink a tea every time I enter an arena
if you play fatebound you don't even have to track anything on the hero talent
fatebound is super duper freelo
You get the buff and everything

blizz hates dots so
You’re right I should play feral next tier
more envenom damage for you bozo
Tnugz is 600 ilvl
dude I will never understand how they added a bunch of energy and pooling gameplay in the 10.2 rework, laid the foundation for resource-focused gameplay
and then just fucking
let it rot
40 specs in the game
39 too many
enhance and spriest reworks
but assa can't get one patch where the ideas they already laid the groundwork for can be expanded on
I mean that's not gonna fix anything varas
to be fair, that's what the community begs for with m+ specs
you become meta m+ spec by doing 100% st and 100% aoe at the same time
to be fair, i wish i didnt play m+ this season
i remember why i stopped pushing
so if assa was bad there would've been 0 chance i was playing
everything is in my self interest
imagine if like
specs did different damage in different aoe situations
so like a dungeon with big aoe a big aoe spec was better than a cleave spec
but the cleave spec was better in smaller aoe dungeons
and then like
they could enforce that
by adding target caps or something
so that people don't giga pull
idk crazy idea
and then like
dont let outlaws read this
instead of letting target caps turn to dust
and rot
they could maybe actually see a single one of their own ideas through to the end
and like hypothetically you would then not see the same 5 fucking specs
in the top 300 keys
which would also help the pug fomo a bit
dunno
could be an idea
m+ fiends would make characters for each dungeon
im a jobful fuck sweating over the same minigame...
people only care about class/spec rankings anyway
Going further into distinct damage profiles would be cool.
yeah would be
if only blizzard tried that
and then actually did it
instead of doing the same fucking thing they do with every single one of their ideas
which is half-bake the whole thing, slop it out
and then let it die
nah we need to have a couple of specs be able to do everything and leave the rest to rot
seeing them slowly dilute legion artifacts into azerite traits into soulbinds into nothing
actually filled me with an unbound rage
Same. Seeing the continual steps back in design itteration for no real benefit was infuriating.
erm ill have you know the best of those are now talents
it's like they have a different definition of the word "iterate"
where instead it means "water down"
it's fucking psychotic
Start with the best and then design away from it.
they do it with everything
Mission table, lmao
The absolute mess of Shadowlands seeming like it was a first draft concept of the entire system compared to the WoD (and Legion, argubably) ones which were really well thoughtout, concrete concepts.
remember island expeditions and how proud they were of their new super-ai advanced npc's? They couldn't stop sucking themselves off about how incredible these new npcs were and how they used CC and burst skills and had personalities
tell me where those went
Comp stomp
they are dumb as bricks in follower dungeons bro
It’s actually me in your follower dungeon
its all you?
That's just realistic to normal dungeon players.
I just wanted to hangout
That's how good their AI is now. Years of learning and building a schemata for them.
But it is absurd how they had this really cool setup for Islands, with legimately fun and interesting NPC enemies and the whole system was just thrown out. Islands could've become an evergreen system with more added each expansion (Delves) and stuff. Just a great idea, tossed away
Torghast too, for all purposes. Great system ideas, misused and disliked by the playerbase, so thrown out instead of retooling or making evergreen for cosmetics or side content (or leveling haha)
bro we went from warfronts to what
they were so proud of the arathi warfront
torghast was an interesting system during the beta but then they threw it all away by making it mandatory and removing the infinite mode
Yeah
REIMAGINED WARCRAFT TWO RTS GAMEMODE SO INNOVATIVE
okay if its so great why not do more
you already have all the building blocks
you have a working example
???????
And it was fun, too!
Those are coming back at least.
horrific visions deadass just delves
I think torghast was the iteration of horrific visions
Yeah
actually much better
cause mobs dont white hit you to death
?!!?
truth
I can't imagine that, horrific visions you had like secret finding to have permanent progression and unlocks and shit to manage your bar
fuck those kobold mages and their 2.5m white hits. Why are the mages melee machines. Did someone put a decminal in the wrong spot??
torghast was just "we made rogue-like xd"
isn't this a rogue-like?
DEVELOPED SO MANY ABILITIES FOR IT, SCRAPPED IT INSTEAD OF ADDING ONTO
?!?!?!?!?
I mean not nearly in the same way
I think there's enough connecting tissue. Horrific Visions were run-based sorta roguelike things, but with meta progression. It's just torghast went way harder into it
Def closer to Delves though
torghast had no out of run upgrades to it
you did have some upgrades
Oh right they added those later in a patch
i actually had fun in torghast runs when i got good abilities and didnt fight for my life
weren't the upgrades just weekly affixes
where you like walk in and oh look you get a thing at the start
the upgrades were making the runs easier
Weren't those added later, though? The upgrade thing in the middle, the.. box of many whatevers.
It's been a while and I am too lazy to check for sure.
I don't remember
I wanna say 9.1?
and I don't want to
I swear it was korthia
'cos I remember getting it before I quit, and I quit in 9.1
the only good things about shadowlands were the dungeons and castle nathria
real
Hell yeah vampire idiots
I never got the sylvanas dagger during 9.1
me when i have 1 hour of daily chores
was great
I remember thinking: Wow, Korthia is smaller than mechagon with half the content. And we got Nazjatar in the same patch in BfA!
And then being very sad.
mechagon the goat
8.1 was a really stacked patch
the only big memory I have of korthia was accepting the weekly, killing a rare, and seeing the bar go up 5%
and then just dread
The intro quest broke for me a dozen times before I got it to work properly.
was korthia mandatory? I don't remember
yes
I remember farming rares for the socket thingy upgrades
you also couldn't increase the ilvl of legendaries without korthia
but that was towards the end of the patch
Korthia was really just the most distilled "Mandatory login chores" moment for me, and was a big reason for why I just peaced out for a year.
these things kept me from starting wow in shadowlands
they were truly desperate for engagement metrics
only time I ever quit the game because of the game itself and not external factors
thank god for DF changing to no dps locked behind grinds
dogshit patch + new world coming out = we quit mid sylvanas prog
DF was great
they still are, they just hide it behind a faster patch cycle
yea
literally did nothing except raid
a big bunch of nothing
fuck yea
thats what i loved about it tbh
DF was good and I am continually sad to see them walking back on some of the better shifts in design.
they should make the game harder and more annoying to play, that will increase the engagement for sure
instead of releasing timegated content slower
thing is if you wanted to do something in df / now you're free to do it with minimal mandatory grinds
they instead opted to release lower quality timegated content faster
can i get reminded why we got the ring this patch? so 11.1 is buggier?
yes
21 seconds · Clipped by motym · Original video "Queen ansurek prog pog" by motym
have you seen this varas
siren island reminds me of custom zones from private servers way back in the days
We got it this patch because we got it in 10.0.7 in DF and I guess they've settled on a standard expansion 'flow' or something.
Wouldn't be shocked if we get a similar thing in 12.0.7
nope, but fairplay
if the boss decides to kill herself
gg
lmao
😭
so on a wipe
one person died
15 war queens went off
next person died
15 war queens went off
next person died
that's really funny
and they just ripped 2.5% of the bosses hp
to me, thats cinema
by wiping
thats big
I've seen people doing 2/0/28 Ansurek Heroic too, with a specific gem setup. Healers? in the bin.
this is really funny but also mostly a joke honestly
no 1% wipe insurance
cause the damage you lose having all your dps running healer gems is roughly the same as the dps loss of just running healers in the first place
Think people were clearing 4/8 mythic with no healers also
only thing it does is replace dumbfuck healers with dumbfuck dps
so like yeah it works
but it's not really anything to write home about
Yeah that was my feeling too, it's jsut very funny.
It's still going to fall foul of the same wipe issues any heroic pug is gonna have on Ansurek.
ye
But think it was automaticjack or someone else talking about it being less of a ring problem, and that its close to possible even without ring
They should add an AoE for crimson vial behind you
With how we just slam that thing in our face, a 180 aoe behind us that heals others
crimson vial as an aoe
like a heal bomb
hello guys i think one hero talent doesnt work for me. im playing assa and the talent is hunt them down, i see it on all other rogues damage breakdown on either details or recount doing a significant amount of dmg but for me its never there resulting in low dps
are you applying deathstalkers mark
Its kinda weird with all classes having so many defensives and then raid damage is concentrated in big bursts
what level

quake
