Whatre the changes to sin season 2? Planning on rolling with it again

I heard some minor changes to the rotation

Does anyone know where I find these ?

minor change in shiv for 0,5% i gues

is ass looking good for s2?

runic hinge
#

Always looking good

buoyant herald
#

i think it's gonna overtake sub when the adjust sub 4set

#

unless key heavily values burst

royal lantern
#

they didnt ask about keys

#

keys always value burst

#

assa is a burst spec aswell

spice surge
#

Its obviously not a flat spec, but its leaning more towards sustained damage than burst in aoe

#

Like on ST deathmark: doubles bleed damage, (nearly) doubles your energy regen and makes kb+envenom do more.
If you have 10 targets doubling the bleeds on one target is not as big of an increase, the regen doesnt matter so its only the last two parts thats really relevant

#

And CT goes hard

how do you handle tanks pulling and not waiting for restealth. feels like i lose alot of damage not being able to stealth

lavish wing
#

leave 😄

spice spire
#

You vanish

#

Or just feel

late gulch
#

ofc i vanish when i can :p . but it still got a big cd and most tanks seems to do it each pack 😛 maby ive just been unlucky with tanks

lavish wing
#

tott healer, drop dm on the biggest pack and alt+f4

#

that will teach em

spice surge
#

A. It doesnt matter as much as you think, having mobs with rupture already up on them going into a new pack is actually good
B. If theres like 1 mob remaining with like 5% health you can stay back, finish of that mob and then stealth and go into the next pack

#

Very few packs actually put you in combat unless youre close to them

#

The main point of stealthing is to apply bleeds so you dont run out of energy and get scent stacked, but if you already have ruptures up on the previous pack you already get the extra regen and the agi

Anyone else hate when your DM mob dies before full DM duration? UGH!

I once did a random sin key at the start of the season where I forgot that ambush applies mark

Siponing Stilleto damaging effect to enemies increased by 7%.

balmy condor

#

That’s definitely what was wrong with it

runic hinge
#

Whisp should I craft a stilleto rn?

haughty flicker
#

wait did they never fix the speed

spice surge
#

They did

#

It just sucks

haughty flicker
#

lmao

celest helm
#

stilleto is so back

marble hemlock
#

does that constitute as the first actual assa buff this patch?

indigo leaf
#

guys is stiletto good now?

#

should i craft a stiletto in season 2?

#

stiletto guys?

haughty flicker
#

im already crafting it

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

well we didnt have that one before so

#

its just a new item

#

but stiletto is an actual buff compared to 11.0.7

balmy condor
#

Sure yeah

royal lantern
#

oh they buffed depths a bit?

runic hinge
#

And power

royal lantern
#

oh ye just saw

spice surge
#

I mean the power buff doesnt really matter, most of it is in the agi

#

But its shrugeg

sharp falcon
#

7% stiletto?

earnest remnant
indigo mulch
#

Oh noes, he has come.

#

Hide your children and sims.

balmy condor
#

Think of the authority of depths damage though

#

That’s actually maybe useful

royal lantern
#

isnt the LW thing a embelishment aswell

spice surge
#

Ye prob time to swap for ST

marble hemlock
#

idk why they even buffed that?

misty holly
#

static damage effects tend to fall off as gear level goes up

balmy condor

why

everything else is reduce after 5

"we REALLY want you to take this talent... please?"

Maybe it's a pvp change. BG Blitz is 8v8, so they want us able to hit everyone.

storm forum
indigo mulch
#

But 6% rupture dmg!

indigo leaf
#

they REALLY want sudden demise to be locked in dont they

marble hemlock
#

how bad would your mental be whispyr if they had that on our 4pc?

storm forum
#

im glad im swapping to disc

spice surge
#

Sub in amirdrassil was just stealth changed

indigo mulch
#

I thought our ST was pretty bad already, not sure why they are just buffing our AoE though.

marble hemlock
#

well it is a stealth spec

#

sooo

spice surge
#

True

tawdry halo
#

oh boy, random tuning changes poggers

dense rapids
#

Random is the right word, confused what their goal is

runic hinge

The goal is obv to increase the aoe 😄

marble hemlock

i dont think this makes whispyr's all nighter redundant, but I'm not an expert

that one is pretty obvious imo

with ct/rupture/ap buff

Oh no..

marble hemlock

Why though I thought aoe was kinda fine

tawdry halo

holeee CT on single target miss me with that

indigo mulch
#

That is not a world we should strive towards.

#

😦

haughty flicker
#

just pretend its rupture 2

#

actually though they really do like buffing ct huh

buoyant herald
#

is a bleed focussed m+ build a thing?

indigo mulch
#

Ah, if i use WA to replace the icons i wont notice the difference right?

tawdry halo
royal lantern
# marble hemlock i hate you

even when they give CT a "scales with target count" effect, they just make the base dmg so high thatbCT on ST arrives kekman

tawdry halo
#

maybe ok for like really low keys?

#

bit of a meme tbh

rancid gyro
buoyant herald
#

oh sweet so i can meme as assass in low keys now 😂

indigo mulch
#

Bleed focus in m+ is horrid. We had so many different iterations of rogues were dot's was the main focus and it always sucks.

#

remove bleeds tbh

indigo mulch
#

Yes!

it means im pressing a button that is not envenom

Let us only do damage through evi.

Tuning for 2/21

Big Mega Tuning Video for pookies
Patch is tuesday btw

Buffs are around 3% in dungeons and 0.7% in single target

Authority of the Depths is +1.2% in single target, Radiant power is still recommended overall

These buffs don't really..... do anything? They are very strange overall including the awkward target cap increase on arterial which is now the only aoe ability which isn't 5 target on Assassination. I am so confused, as this is neither what assassination actually needs, nor is it in any amount that matters. If the goal was to make bleed damage more relevant in m+, it would've had to come with either an envenom or a caustic spatter nerf, with larger compensation towards bleeds. The way they did these buffs ends up just being essentially glorified patch note padding and an ovi'nax (or bunkjunker in 11.1) buff. The other strange thing about this is that buffing arterial would lean us towards maybe taking a cleave build in m+ that takes the left side, which would maybe help single target, but they also just buffed sudden demise, which pulls us in the opposite way.

The best way to describe these changes is simply aimless.

haughty flicker
#

we'll know how to feel once whispyr finishes typing

#

there it is

royal lantern
#

Glad I'm not the only one confused on what they're trying to achieve

a nice 0.5% ST increase. Woawz

Yes, 0.5% was all it needed.

they just see "oh, lots of bleed? lets go and buff it" even though it makes no sense when you actually try to talent into these improved versions

Glorious changes.

tawdry halo

John blizzard really be over here spinning the wheel of tuning fortune

burnt drum
#

sin still to the go-to raid spec? seemingly***

indigo mulch
#

Can't we all just make a pact, all the rogues in teh community just forgets how to press buttons so the rogue data points towards rogues doing no damage at all so they maybe buff us for the raid release? 😄

timid sonnet
#

Warriors were ahead of BM and they got nerfed less, sin was near bottom and got buffed an insignificant amount - idk

#

its just random

tawdry halo
#

you can get a real answer in 2 weeks when the wheel stops spinning

timid sonnet
#

last minute tuning is more like rage bait at the moment

dawn condor
#

But fire mage got away again… why?

burnt star
#

well, maybe they are starting to look at rogue

#

when patch is in 3 day

#

XD

spice spire
#

I had to reread that buff again. We buffed crimson tempest Hmm

indigo mulch
#

I mean to be fair, it dosen't really matter since they most likley will do another round at HC/mythic release as well.

burnt star
#

then they push the change to the x.5 XD

spice spire
#

I’m curious on that decision.

marble hemlock
#

and during maintenance

hollow river
marble hemlock
#

and then half of those dont make it to live week1 cuz they just pushed the last build candidate that didnt include the hotfixes

indigo mulch
burnt star
#

still curious at outlaw getting an aura buff last week

#

but sin ignored on that point

timid sonnet
royal lantern
#

no

#

you dont compare sim numbers

#

thats not what sims are made for

tawdry halo
#

comparing between specs is uhhh

#

not good

#

for sims

timid sonnet
#

yes I know thats the conventional wisdom but what else do we have to pass time until patch - watch Peetko make tier lists out of his purely anecdotal experience?

tawdry halo
#

yes

#

and critique

haughty flicker
#

as a pastime of choice

timid sonnet

haughty flicker

I tried playing DH tank for the first time, and i quickly figured out that if you don't press demon spikes before pulling a pack you just die.

timid sonnet
#

well yes but no

royal lantern
#

yes, tanks need to use deffensives

timid sonnet
#

just press something

royal lantern

thats tank gameplay dracthyr_kek

Everytime a tank buster comes i clench my buttsheeks in hope that i don't get clapped to hard and just instantly fall over.

just get a weakaura pack that tells you when to press dr buttons before tankbuster mechs

then afk

royal lantern

like, its something yeha

#

but its far from a big noticable thing

#

cus soooo much of assa dmg is envenom/spatter

haughty flicker
#

at least dk got buffed

uneven plume
#

Do spatter and envenom really need more buffs?

balmy condor
#

people complain about assa single target, so they buffed the aoe

#

by like 2.5%

hollow river

it's deifinitely a change

hollow river

extremely odd

tawdry halo
#

definitely one of the changes of patch 11.1

hollow river
#

i assume that's them trying to make it worth using in m+? logs

tawdry halo
#

yeah, maybe

balmy condor
static glacier
tawdry halo
#

or maybe they didnt really think about it

balmy condor
#

and a bleed build that takes both doesn't take kingsbane

#

and does even less single target

indigo mulch
balmy condor
#

so It'll probably never be viable

static glacier
#

more than anything the 8t shiv change helps raid aoe veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slightly

severe meadow

pls god not lower ST damage

I think I can actually override the arterial target count change

lets see if it does something

You could have caught a stray like sub. And take a 5% nerf for nothing

tawdry halo
maiden sierra
main blaze
#

Its not a doom per se. Its just like it wasnt a focused or thoughtful change it seems. And like Eleem mentioned, 0 changes through the whole PTR and this right at the last minute. Just feels like they are throwing in some buffs just to pad out the notes to show all specs got something.

balmy condor
#

poooooooooooooggggggggg

indigo mulch
#

I'm i'm pretty confident that sin will see some ST adjustment the coming weeks. Not sure if its going to be big or small but i don't think they will leave sin ST in the gutter like that.

almost 4%

I guess demise is locked in for 11.1 though

I actually like SD 😦

balmy condor

I do too

#

but this ain't the move

buoyant herald
#

buffed the slice without buffing the specs

indigo mulch
#

I mean the staple has always been ST = assassination = good.

#

AoE = sin = bad, now we're like mediocre AoE and horrible st. Not sure whats going on in balance land.

maiden sierra
#

damn we a month away from april fools

indigo mulch
#

From what i've seen of the new raid i don't think our aoe profile will work at all with bleed talents. The adds seams to be small and die qickly so any attempt to aoe them will just be meh with a bleed spec and since our ST is so low caustic wont really do much for us D:

royal lantern
#

the raid is "boomkin does aoe"

So... does this spec look OK for ?? Zekvir as Assassination? lol. I read a few things... to not use Cheat Death, for example...

runic hinge
#

Why not use cheat

#

Personally I’d also run dashing over blindside

pearl bluff
#

I read something a friend sent and said not to use Cheat Death. "on’t use cheat death, use Elusiveness. This will give you a blanket 20% less direct damage on a 45 second cooldown which will be invaluable for dealing with both the dot in bad situations and cheat death won’t keep you alive through the dot anyway." 🤷‍♀️ I'll look at dashing. Thanks!

runic hinge
#

I don’t think elusiveness will keep you alive through the dot either tbh and cheat will save you one fuck up

pearl bluff
#

ok I'll switch back lol. Got him to 35% on 1st 2 attempts today. Probably have done right over 10 total on him. pheoriFoxLUL

runic hinge
#

You can cheat and then pot right after if you mess up or there’s like a bad egg spawn in aoe or something. Idk. You’re really just hoping for good dispel rng and him not full cleaving the egg

pearl bluff
#

Thanks 🙂

runic hinge
#

Just keep pots rolling and be ready to vanish the dot

#

Brann pots

pearl bluff
#

yah I just found out about vanishing the dot, so I haven't worked on that yet pheoriFoxLUL

runic hinge
#

That helps a lot when you have 2 vanishes

kindred cobalt
#

Elusiveness is way better to M+

haughty flicker
#

I’m tempted to go back and try zekvir

#

I beat him when brann was giga broken and did like 3x my damage

kindred cobalt
#

CD is better in raids

haughty flicker
#

I kind of want to beat him legit lmao

pearl bluff
#

yah I also didn't have the 2 vanish charges... I thought one of my specs, either M+ or Raid, had it, but I was accidentally in M+ spec for some attempts, and then my Raid spec didn't have it either. A friend found that spec with it, so I just switched, lol.

pearl bluff
runic hinge
#

Took me 15 tries at like 609

balmy condor
#

scent + sudden demise kinda blows for zek idk

runic hinge
#

I think I ran the wowhead delve recommended page lol

#

Without ic tho

balmy condor
#

yeah probably fine too

pearl bluff
balmy condor
#

just full single target and you take 2x vanish for the dot dispel

pearl bluff
balmy condor
#

p1 is much harder than p2 though

#

just because he autos you way less in p2

#

and getting auto'd is kinda the biggest issue

pearl bluff
#

yah I got him to P2 a few times. First 2 attempts today were 35% -.-

balmy condor
#

so the build is probably fine but scent/sudden demise seems pretty overkill for the eggs

#

they're not up that often and the execute probably doesn't do shit

#

probably better to just slot heal gems into circlet, take a raid build, 2x vanish, and then just get a clean pull into p2

pearl bluff
#

would you go tiny toxic blade and zoldyck instead?

balmy condor
#

and then from there fight just dies

#

no

#

just blindside

#

tiny toxic is giga shit

pearl bluff
#

oh ok lol

runic hinge
#

Imagine if shiv did big dam tho

#

Like they put in the patch notes shiv damage increased by 30%

Cause ap is sick

cause blizzard invested into bleedmax3000 stocks

just watch, internal bleeding buff before patch drops

That would be a single target buff

yeah

i mean im more confused than i could ever be

it directly points on arterial shock build again,think i like t

its just the target count thats sus

maybe they want us to juice more on our shiv windows

I don’t know what blizzard what from us, or if they even know wtf they are doing

quick question does anybody know if we'll have the new season M0 at weekly reset ? with updated ilvl ?

rocky zodiac
#

Whispyr mentioned in the Pins that he removed to envenom pandemic Logic from Sims. Dies that mean we no longer Care about that and Just Hit envenom no Matter If 2nd Stack of envenom isnt in pandemic range yet?

sharp viper
#

he probably accepted that we, the players, are just dumb and press buttons when we should be pooling - now he wants the sims to be more accurate to the players

lusty kraken
#

I don't think that should be the right approach

static glacier
#

If you know what I mean

#

I personally still like to play around 2 stack uptime but it won’t really give you any noticeable change in dps vs just sending env

rocky zodiac
#

Yeah ok i understand. Just means that im Not published hard for fucking up xD still new to the spec

sharp viper
#

@balmy condor

marble hemlock
#

i doubt that specifically is the reason for it, but whispyr tends to prefer APLs that are a bit more "realistic", i.e. stuff that needs multiple very specific conditions to be a tiny gain, but is somewhat impossible for a regular human being to do, will not be added

#

at the end of the day sims are supposed to be able to inform gameplay choices and rotational priorities, its not just a "look at me i can get a .8% higher sim" game

subtle tundra

hey i read the buffs and i got an aneurysm

sharp viper
bronze pike

sooth me with sin changes

marble hemlock

balmy condor
marble hemlock

perfect

bronze pike
#

another example is outlaw in general

#

with the amount of rules of sub 1% gains

#

that the average player wouldnt be able to do without a large amount of spec awareness

balmy condor
#

yeh this isn't sub 1% gains or anything it's just legit I checked pooling conditions and playing around envenom uptime didn't get out of margin of error

marble hemlock
#

thank god

It's not like you can apply bleed/dots as easy as an affliction or spriest for example. So dont see the buff helping much for reverb

grim jay

with "dont like how they think about rogue"

primal burrow
#

I mean the nerf for tier set sub without enough compensation (imho) and the buffs for assa who is clearly aimed for M+ profile. Casters will just be too good this season.

Sry I read french site for patch, they messed it up. English one indeed nerfs many OP. Big winner in that is shaman and lage untouched yet.

shaman isn't TOO broken imo

it is strong, but it isn't fire mage

primal burrow

And for now our raid group lost his mage so I may end up switching anyway for opti

royal lantern

"first major patch of a expansion, fire mage is OP now" is weirdly consistent

primal burrow

Blizzard clearly screams "this time it's caster time"

hollow river
#

dunno, people say that every season

#

"this raid is bad for melee" or "these dungeons are bad for melee"

primal burrow
#

Yeah, but first test and stats show caster at 1.5/6 M and melee at 1.3M average from what I saw on spreadsheet

Ye and that was 4 tuning patches ago

That data is completely irrelevant

A little bit but hey ain't gonna gain 300k

primal burrow

The difference seemed big to me

spice surge
#

That sheet is completely irrelevant

primal burrow
#

Maybe it's more balanced now

#

Ok

spice surge
#

Not only is the tuning different

#

But on ptr testing people dont have set strats

#

Or they run around and try things

#

Like standing in fire for fun to see how much damage it does or just not trying to do the best dps because its just ptr

grim jay
#

I wonder if its another izen sheet

spice surge
#

Its a complete meme to draw any conclusions from it

golden loom
#

Isnt it like prot warrior simming high in damage, but its spamming execute which it would never do in a real situation

spice surge
#

Yes sometimes tank sims are a bit of a meme

#

But its probably gonna do very high damage either way, even with having to use rage defensively

Yep, just the general idea that you kinda have to take things with a grain of salt
