Hello hello
Anyone done underpin as assassination lately and what build did you use?
how is assa in particular and rogue in general looking for s3 raiding?
how are we supposed to know the future
hard to tell, theres a lot of tuning to be done still
hope its not awful :X only class i enjoy
It won't be awful
then play it
if you're not rwf you can play whatever you want
rogue is never awful
They normally get all classes close enough to each other
Me playing the meta spec is crucial to the success of my rfwl team
I'll have you know
none of you wonderful sinners have done underpin?
you just take a raid build
the fight is incredibly straight forward
it's just long
Oh yeah Underpin
ah fair nuff, just thought I'd check there wasn't some fatebound shennanagins since I think you were saying it was only good in single target or if that just applied to s3
š¤
that sucks, sounded like you proposed some pretty reasonable fixes to make it not dead
anyone with a picture of the new tier pieces stats and values ? I want to budget stats and check off-tier piece thanks
Why do you want to budget stats?
(gets some mythic ring first vault and makes everything planned irrelevant)
I'm sure it's incredibly well thought out and they have accounted for reasonable things

much easier to make a flawless plan than just pressing 3 buttons to sim
Much easier to feel craft and just equip ilvl and then whatever anywhere else
Dont equip anything and raid naked o.o
Good help. Thanks. Must have some leftover poison in your coffees
It enhances the flavour
What you asked for and planned to do is just incredibly unnecessary and borderline useless
They saved you time

I have no idea what you asked, can't even find the question
this is a banger message
i will reuse that ty
They asked for what pieces are bad tier sets pieces to plan out and people said it was stupid as a response
For next tier
It doesnāt but responding like some people did was indeed giving a sour taste š
tbf it was
stupid
@balmy condor ty for showing me the way king
13 mb
damn u boomer ass
I was clueless at 21 that's crazy
unc
Yeee
ive still got 3 more years until its truly joever
I'm over 30, its already joever

i barely function as a 27 year old, like its truly joever for me at 30
got too many issues to count with my body
I already had heart issues before 30, rip
@midnight mist are you happy with outlaw in next patch
It's worse than in s2, the st is very meh, the AOE is nothing to write home about, the prio is even worse than the st
But it's ok I have had worse outlaw seasons
Gameplay wise the new ks is legitimately worse than old one appart that it doesn't kill you
All the trickster awkwardness on basically every node is starting to get old and annoying
It's weirdly rng cause of 1 point in fth which doesn't feel good
But it's ok I think it's still my favorite outlaw iteration (if you ignore no acro)
wall of text alert
you asked fuck you
zac do i play sub so i have to use my brain or do i stay assa for brain off bleed
didnt say i didnt read
you rude ass
ill have you fingered
Sub tier as every season
You do what you want

Same
Also same age
Pog
19°c, only water falling down the sky
I have a house and a dog and I still feel like I canāt function like a normal adult holy fuck
Sme shit
28, owning my appartement and still living like a teenager
I did notice
Iām more upsetti about grocery prices now a days
Progress? Am I finally evolving into an adult?
Where dog pictures?
is the st/prio that bad even after buffs? thought it would improve
Okay thank you, I an sated
I love her too, she's precious
She 11
Still a baby
Booble
It's better than before of course, but outlaw has always been a spec that did very high St in keys, and rn it seems to be under instead of being ahead like every season
Even when outlaw is terrible like it was in s1, it still did the most st really
Prio gets worse cause ks is rng damage instead of on your target for some obscure reason
i think depending on your wr you can prob just play it if you enjoy it
like if a fight is with lots of uptime outlaw could be a good choice
If one is not racing for world first, any spec is viable
yeah sure but that could troll if ur going for a solid wr
but idk above 1k is prob fine to do w/e u like and enjoy/is the best at
yeah as a first time hof enjoyer, we didnt really get any enrage tight timings so dmg is never the deciding factor
And Rogue almost never is the tipping point
but like some fights eg mugzee early the execute from assa was prefered in my guild, same on oab
But stuff like Affli/Destro instead of Demo on Stix/Bandit is a thing
But Rogue almost never is the tipping point like i said
i think if your more comfortable and can do mechancis better on one spec better than others its surly the pick
Yes
Me, a never mythic raider, agrees
But you are a mythical Raider of my heart
the whole question of whatās āviableā has become such a pet peeve of mine, as has people saying something ādoesnāt matter unless youāre top [x]ā
thereās whatās optimal, and then there are varying degrees of suboptimal
thatās it
hey there
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/assassination/deathstalker/DANFVVFRRBUVRihFDQRQNVUVRVEYFQRKFUBEEVVVUCEA
theres any chance that tha build is viable on m+ when pugs dont pull funnil to bosses?
hey im new to assa rogue and just wanted to ask something regarding thistle tea. when you get below 100 energy should i just afk in order not to proc a thistle tea and save it for my shiv
Nope, you dont need to play around it
okay thank you
I guess that If you need to ask, you should not play this
Classic hybrid / Bleeds perform the best in pug experience
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/assassination/deathstalker/DANFVVFRRBUVRihFDQRQNVUVVFEYFQFKFUBEEVVVUCAA
you mean this one??
i have seeing a lot of top world rogues playing with it in raider io, the single target isnt trash? still worth use it?
well, except that its REALLY fucking rare that something is so suboptimal that you cant play it outside of the absolute top end
Are you a top world assa rogue playing with a team and with specific needs?
i mean, the top world rogues are playing the standard haha
not the one i link in first case
Trust us brother
So your question is weird ^^
If top player use it, it's cause the ST isn't trash
they play a different build because they play in specific comps that have different needs
Bleeds is the go to
Hybrid if you don't like bleeds / keys are hight enough to have a target living 20 sec after aplying dot
ok
i will go to it so
haha
just trying to understand
Play what you enjoy and do best rotationally on for pugs, the dh is gonna over pull and brick the key anyways
!builds
Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:
- If you have to ask, you should play bleed
- If you're not doing +17's or higher (or rookery), you should play bleed
Some general concepts as to why people play different things:
- Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
- Boss damage: The cleave/zeross build is mainly for boss damage. Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and the bosses would not be possible otherwise
- Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal.
- Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead until bigger AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage.
Didn't want to look rude btw
i know! u did not
tl:dr
Bleeds good normal pulls and overall damages
Hybrid more or less same if targets live long enough and go higher on big pull
Cleave/Zeross (First you linked) big ST and bigger is the pull, bigger it deals damages
for 17+ and more witch one is the go to? hybrid?
I go hybrid in my own case
Cuz I don't like bleeds
And I play with a premade tank that bring lot of stuff on bosses
thats giga for assassin š¦
some pugs are afraid to bring adds to bosses
I wish I had a pre made for this reason. Damage is just so inconsistent cuz pugging
I wish i had 4 premades
what do you mean by ācanāt play itā? if something is suboptimal for ordinary players, itās usually suboptimal for top players too
i said when was the last time something was so bad that it was actually not playable for normal people
its really rare that stuff is tuned so badly that you literally cant touch it outside of the absolute highest level of gameplay lol
but when you say not playable, what do you mean
that your spec choice will actually make a difference bettwen managing something or not
cus 99,9% of the time its not based on your spec/talent/whatever choice, but its people doing mistakes in general gameplay lol
i donāt think itās ever happened
that something is so bad that it single-handedly prevents your group from killing a boss even with optimal play from everyone involved
eh you can find some examples
theyre just not super realistic
like for example gl beating sludgefist enrage with 4 assa rogues before aura buffs
iām not familiar with that example
pre nerf kil'jaeden any comp 
you dont understand their internal team definetly beat that boss
It did. Everything at the top 1% of anything is defined by meta and meta meaning effective. Sure you can do it differently but that just makes it way harder.
when did it happen?
something being āharderā with spec A than with spec B doesnāt mean spec A isnāt a viable option, it just means itās not optimal
most classes and specs in the game arenāt the optimal choice for any given boss
i really dont understand how to achieve decent ST dps with bleed build. Trying to keep energy > 150 leads to less dps than spamming envenom and that is still garbagte
Have adds ontop of the boss
you donāt do decent ST, thatās normal
The 150 thing can pretty much be ignored, its only if you dont have shiv up, dont need to refresh bleeds or have darkest night up
So its insanely rare
But also even with the cleave FI build your ST is still not good
SL launch assa was one of the few examples i can remember lol
Assa just doesnt have good ST in keys unless you have funnel
Ye sure, its better than s1
Do you guys think with a premade next season doing 10s in the first week induction build is worth it or still bleed I think things are quite tanky
And envenom is also buffed
Iām not to sure
Depends on your comp
If your running havoc and arcane play bleed
Brew/resto shaman/me/MM hunter/feral
From what i could tell theres pretty much no difference compared to now
Thats what we running
Ye CT does less, but garrote and rupture does more, so it kinda evens out regarding bleed vs not-bleed
Yeah I think I will just have to do see how longs things are living for
Yeah also play what is fun. Start of the season just play around
Then play ptr and test it rn
Best thing to do if you really wanna prepare
If itās anything like this seasonās week 1 10s you are not gonna brick to time and should just play st/prio
With a comp like that
I think we died like 30 times to bosses in top and still timed it
Bosses sometimes scary tho
You're welcome man
All the mobs are running away with my new transmorg daggers
no problem dude, glad i helped
Im looking at timelines and do we always lose between .003s and .0012s between globals? Just looking at opener.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/VqyCQKRTJvFPcpd3?fight=19&type=casts&view=timeline&source=16
Those numbers are so small surely it is just the difference of ping/player error
Thatās the difference of 1-3 ping so 
I think I have spell queue at 250 which I thought spell queue eliminated this issue?
Or is there some that you cannot do anything about, thats the real question.
Is my spell queueing incorrect and theres a player/setting issue? Or is there some level of loss that is unavoidable.
sometimes good sometimes bad
unavoidable
For st in keys
What should my rotation even look like?
Is it worth to vanish and use ambushes or is that basically just the same as mutilate
the same
and also is CT worth it in st
assuming not like last season but idk i havent been up to date
i think thats in the guide
if you are playing the bleed build yes
Yea i am playing the bleed build
next patch maybe not since CT is getting nerfed so who knows but atleast until then u should CT in ST
And what about when to vanish
is it just to reapply improved garrote during your cd
or is it worth it to use ambush as a builder
nah ambush and mutilate are effectively the same button
Not worth to ambush as a builder
but u vanish during deathmark yeah
yeah thats what i thought š
this is what im running
iron wire instead of 2nd shiv because im crest farming and groups dont kick like a bunch of idiots
my st feels horrid tho like actually horrid
im playing a worse feral druid rn
Yeah essentially
Feral good this tier
We have good aoe but dog st in keys
Good st in raid
yea yea feral is going to be my main even next season but i kinda miss my rogue so i think im going to roll it as my main alt
i had a lot of fun playing it last season
its kinda changed tho like last season i dont remember the st being this bad in keys it IRKS me
It was pretty bad last season ngl
Iāve avoided warrior prison next tier so I live to rogue another tier
One of us
For now
Idk how many tiers our warrior tank can be there the first five weeks (heās usually just there every other week)
im sure they will and it will perform too good at adds on the first raid and then it will be deadge again time is a flat circle 

Iām eventually going to be trapped in that hell unless we recruit a warrior (havenāt recruited since inception)
jesus christ, ive never sweat this much at the gym in a while 
its easier to dig up a grave and putting a dead body in front of a PC
- its what the average warrior plays like anyway
yo can we have a new sin pin just so I have some kinda feeling that things are happening
Havenāt had one in a week Damn
im suffering withdrawals here
next sin pin when prepatch to midnight hits

and it fixes a typo
'main alt'
dude you just solved the wordle for me
huge
Enjoy the peace, 2 weeks and this channel will be bombarded.
hey guys, is it a dps increase to remove the Darkest Night buff when stealthing in between packs ?
since i've noticed that if i carry the buff with me to the new pack, my marks doesn't proc on 5 combo points and i need a full 7 combo points attack to regain it
No, the crit and damage buff on the envenom is worth more
so we just build up to 7 and then send
Yes you always send a 7cp envenom when darkest night is up
Cool thanks mate!
I read this and it still took me 5
6 what!

Arre there already tierlists for rogue speccs for n3ext season?
tierlists are not ever to be taken seriously, especially not while the PTR is still up
alright
Also like tuning isn't done or even close yet so any tier list you see is extremely wack
Donāt let them gaslight you I got the tier list ready,
Assassination is S+
Sub is B
Outlaw is F
Hope this helps
sub is b+ actually
outlaw F-
Na outlaw is uninstall tier
Oh mb thanks boys


we love outdpsing 30 ilvls under the mage

Yep thatās frost for ya
frost mages are blacklisted from my keys, they are never human
Frost unnecessary here king
Stay woke
i like frost but itās obsolete
being the ā2T cleave kingā isnāt a thing anymore when every class now does a bunch of cleave for free
frost does still have some funnel, good prio dmg in general
mage just seems to have a lot of incompetent players on it that struggle to do dps
Clearly not everyone can grasp the acuity of portal magic
ngl I'm not playing mage because I'm not smart enough to play mage well (survivability-wise) and I recognize that
damage is fine, but having to actually think about survival rather than hitting Feint with Elusiveness and shuffling out of circles underfoot is too much
sometimes that's not enough
meanwhile Feint is like
15 seconds CD and you can press it again if you somehow fuck that up
and evasion
and CLoS
minmaxing alter time effectiveness will get me killed
May i suggest DK?
what for? spamming Death Strike or whatsitcalled?
well, I already don't die as Assa (as long as I know what the mechs are, of course)
Changing talents would imply the spec got changes
don't think anything changed
like some numbers got shuffled around but they aren't gonna change builds AFAIK, and Assa set is just "gotta have two shiv charges, yep"
Yo whatās up poison dudes
I know you guys got the ins at blizz balance team so when you hit them up for that seasonal assa buff, can you do a fellow rogue a favour and ask for like 4-5 more black powder buffs alongside your buffs
Thanks so much guys
what +% are we talking here
The balance team will know, just a couple more of whatever % and it will finally replace eviscerate
ok gotcha, 0.2% buff inc
black powder in ST is the real goal
Donāt say that out in public
just a small 50% bp buff for st usage 
double it and give it to mage
What raid
With the Hybrid build in M+ we do not use CT on Single Target but hold up Garrote?
You only use CT in st with bleed build
merci
learn both
And so far all 3 specs seem to have good fights for them
Aight ty
very likely to be sin
Thereās damage amps on some of the bosses so I think itās likely to be sub
Take that
there's an hp bar meaning that damage will be an important element to defeating a boss encounter

Hell yeah bring back Temple of Sethraliss
Or ICC
How about you ICC Deez nuts
Gotemmmmmm
You're too kind
Or sanguine depths
Loved that dungeon as outlaw
Will it be bleed or hybrid build for m+ next season?

!shiv
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
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
i havent played rogue since like week 1 of season 2 what has changed and whats the best spec? or are all 3 strong?
I'm currently in sin and was thinking about playing it >:)
Is MH:Wilds optimized yet?
Way better now yes
Excellent
Play whatever you want
idfk what sin is looking like now, i see no DTB and kingsbane
im scared
absolutely nothing
im scared for my life (im prob gonna cook)
i havent played rogue in a fat minute, i switched to maining mw and dh all season
but it's the same
yeah but i might've lost my touch </3
Not true we got spatter in Amirdrassil

that was dragonflight
All 3 specs will be playable
It's because he's shit
Or he's literally afk
better but far from great
For people to post their horror stories?
Not a bad idea
Or rogues with a bad tmog
every rogue and dh is the shity blackfuse cloak
its literally the leather "male human paladin in T2" 
Yeah i hate the darkfuse coat nowadays
I just got it while it was abuseable
due to fomo
Why he say fuck me for
Also passively insulting my mogs smh
Bro dont lie
As an evoker player you arent inviting other evokers
I got it before the last nerf but itās hard to make an actual GOOD mog with it
"bro, IM using it with sunglasses!!!"
Thatās not just boring nothing personnel kid hijinks
Yo, we getting some cool class tuning later today perhaps?
Doubt

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
I feel like I can't get this spec to perform for me in raid at all
would need to see logs
Prolly get some decent ones to look over next week
I know there's some things that after some thought/self analysis I think would help improve it besides some obvious things that I know I messed up
dk anniversary set
The anniversary sets are my official "idgaf about this character and the set looks acceptable" tmog
Yeah y'all, am I missing something? How are garroting this much in AOE with a 6s CD?
Is there a CD reset I'm not aware of?
improved garrote
even without subterfuge
ah ty
If youāre not pressing garrote 12 times in a row playing imp garrote and subterfuge why even play assa
Whats best weapon enchant transmog on daggers?
for daggers, i've been enjoying the green version of the random number perforator from undermine
black coat obviously
@balmy condor Sorry for the ping but can you remember from what raid boss daggers dropped? i can't seem to find it and PTR is not accesable at the moment for me
loomithar and salhadaar
Thank you bud!
np
Loom Over and Salad Bar?
wellp, time to annoy my guild with salad bar all tier
guys, am I missing out a lot by macro Shiv and Tea?
add lemonade to the tea for a nice Arnold Palmer
then macro it to shiv and make it /say "Arnold Palmer Alert! Arnie Palmies in-bound!"
Is it generally better to put the mouseover garrote/rupture on another keybinding or can I use something like
#showtooltip /cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Garrote
With the 6 second rule for garrote and rupture for pandemic passive, do you guys follow the same 6 second left to refresh with crimson tempest as well? Not really seeing a anything in writing about it on any guides!
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
Its not quite 6 seconds, a 7cp rupture pandemic as deathstalker is way longer
But again, its just leeway, you can refresh it at anytime and its fine
So same with crimson tempest, just 30% of the duration
Crimson Tempest does have some snapshotting though so, that's something to be aware of, it does more damage when you initially casted it to hit 5 vs. recasting and it hit 1 target
In that case, you'd let it expire
Ok cool, thanks for insight!
Is assas. gonna play very different next patch? Haven't looked much into PTR notes yet since I just started gearing my rogue up this week
No, hero talent cycle just goes a bit faster with tier but, rotation is the same
A lot of the time you end up needing to use shiv with darkest night up anyway so you dont even use the 4p effect
The set is just kinda cheeks
We only have also aura increases and i dont think anything will change it's to close to the patch.
I really dont get why they gave us a longer shiv on a tier set š
makes no sense at all lol
You think they know how to play rogue? When they showcased one button rotation still using Slice and Dice? Lol
I dont think they know anything 
I mean the DS effects getting buffed is kinda cool
Moreso buffing the amplifiers being cool, rather than the flat damage part
Poisoned. It's rogue only and looks very good. Not too flashy either. Just my opinion of course.
Gear (in this case tier) buffing up talents or giving talents is imo very interesting and fun, like the legendary ring in legion that gave you a specific talent
Like having a trinket that buffed your right or left capstone talent(s) specifically would be way more interesting than Agi+mastery on-use effect or mastery+agi on-use effect
For me, Mythic Antorus without the helm and shoulders (and with the missing boots they finally put into the game,) or Bloodfang. But I am a bit of a traditionalist. Also the black trench coat as stated above. Everyone like to do their best Neo impression.
imo specifically it being hero talents makes the idea a little less interesting but still better than nothing yeah
I agree ye, but thats because our hero talents arent interesting
hero talents getting a buff like what the tier gives is basically just an aura buff idk, thereās no decisionmaking with hero talents so thereās no ability for tier to impact a decision

abysmal dogshit
true true
Theyve "diablofied" other aspects of wow but this bit with somewhat more interesting gearing has seemingly eluded them

the wowhead ST build doesn't take subterfuge. does that mean if ambush isn't your first global, you just lose the fight
it also doesnt take any talents that interact with stealth so you can freely vanish to apply it if you forget without losing much damage (i.e. essentially 0 except the loss from delaying cds a global or whatever)







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
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

racial as a human would be hilarious
pop deathmark potion and human racial + trinket
waste of a gcd


We love to remove stuns






Morning chat
Morning Chad
I feel like I'm coming down with the sickness
well yeah but that is because i like the sound of silence when playing games on my own
But I am Indestructible, so I will not break even when my pugs stand Inside the fire š
Playing in Pugs is like saying Hello to the Darkness, my friend
as an ex DH.. noone actually stands in the darkness, my friend
Thats because of the Decadence, they dont even value Help anymore
Wa ah ah they are idiots
I mean depending where you live, they are American Idiots
I dont want to be an american idiot
honestly.. wake me up when september ends as I am going on Holiday
I hate to break it to you, but thinking Rogue will be meta next tier is like walking on Boulevard of Broken Dreams
well I am paranoid but rogue is mine so I tell you Mama, I'm coming home!
mid mentioned?!?!?
Yeah im out of puns now
you'll come up with more when november ends
context - edited for release confirmation?
hopefully
oh shit, my dates were way off, it's feb or march, fuck me we're going to be waiting a while
Bro are you good
Just in time for 11.2 to be playable
Guides are due next week btw
What the fuck am I supposed to do about that
Half the specs are doing >6 mil
And the other half is doing <5 mil
????????
0 trinket tuning as well
Just btw
This patch is so fucked
IDK, just make it up.
I assume Blizzard will just adjust stuff to make it worthless approximately 30 seconds after they get posted.
The whole guide should just be "check the pins."
yeah I'm not looking forward to this patch
If Iām feeling myself Iāll throw in a haste piece for fun
Copy paste rotation guide
Cause what the fuck am I supposed to do about that
Delete all mention of fatebound
Turn it in
Ggwp good patch
Sounds legit honestly.
bro you're going to get so many questsions about "optimsation of shiv"
Rogues in the bin, update guide to dead and gone
Yeah the sick optimization of āidk try and avoid casting shiv with a darkest night upā
lol it won't stop peeps asking
although everyones probs going to gravitate to sub for a bit, realise they're not having fun and reroll hunter
āHow do we dry shivā
Hear me out right, insane tech, you just⦠press it with 1 stack
which you couldāve already done this patch
itās the same thing 
Does it eat the Darkest Night, or just waste the shiv fast forwarding a charge of the deathstalkers mark?
Splitting hairs at that point. Just hit it at one an DN during the extended window.
If you eat a couple mark forwards here and there itās like 0.3-0.4%
gross
Cause like just hitting it naturally youāre not going to troll it every shiv
even the only optimisation the set might give you some variance on is worth nothing
Makes sense.
this patch is big sad
and so like just ignoring it entirely youāre maybe missing like 2 forwards in 5 minutes
Which is
Not great
But also who cares
good thing that spriest got it's 43rd rework
Hey, I am swapping off my BDK to main Rogue. It definitely could be even worse.
For the first time since before shadowlands I am not maining a tank.
Iām gonna be dead honest, Iāve done basically 0 theorycrafting for the patch
When the tier sets got implemented I checked like 3-4 things
And then shrugged and went āaight well nothing changed, Iāll wait for tuningā
And then there was no tuning
So I just kept waiting
And now guides are due next Friday
And Iām like
"But aura buff!"
?????
you legit should just copy paste from last patch and call it a day
see if anyone notices
just put like a
11.2 update
Nothing changed
click here to go to the old info
I gotta change the tier pages and stuff at least
Or else my copy editor will throw a fit
I mean, yeah. But the rest can be a control c, control v.
imp garrotte coming back?
we got the opposite of what basically everyone wants, less bleed, more big envenom
Yes but no
I was asking if that was the chage they were referring to
If you played no imp gar in m+, you would still play no imp gar
I'm a simple man who doesn't do above 15s. I play bleed build and zug.
and itās not back in raid
Thank fuck for that
oh shit, that was one thing I was going to ask you actually whispyr
with them pushing us FURTHER into envenom are we sticking to VV?
I can save vanishes for mark fuckery
Yah but itās mostly because of the tier
VV on deathstalker is good cause of the mark buff
I thought for a bit there you were thinking that MA might be slightly better within the raid no?
maybe I misunderstood
And the mark buff is more buff mark shiv buff good higher mutilate and mutilate buff bigger and buff ambush too so buff and more buff and then mark more during shiv and more mark during shiv is more vv during shiv is more nature damage good buff yes
Makes sense?
fuck me, who am I kidding, I'm probably just going to be playing sub until we get whatever the "its 2 months in we should probably do the obligatory sin change now" patch
I think imp gar is probably āplayableā the same way fatebound on sprocket is āplayableā
But the VV spatter actually cranks
Itās pretty sleeper
lol fb sprocket, that dream died for me quick smart
Thatās not changing
Yeah, I know
I just meant you might consider that point in some version of the cleave M+ build since the change to CT and the rebalancing of the dmg profile of abilities
Probably not, but you could
But yeah if for some insane reason you need some huge condensed burst window on a boss like the dragon on salhadougsdaledimmadome or whatever then maybe imp gar, but I highly doubt it
Yeh probably not
What is this Fatebound you talking about
Bleed stuff with sudden demise is way too good for non-title keys
afaik Sin has only one Hero Tree
True
Lemme just huff my copium that some day I will have enough talent points to take iron wire and not hate myself for it
Just take out double shiv
And then shiv on cd like a monster
And pissvibe in vault keys
yeah, that was about half my season to be fair
im always pissvibing pboy
That's my secret Cap.
I'm always pissvibing.
Am I cooked for putting hot sauce and garlic powder into ranch dressing for my chicken sandwich
that sounds good
I'd eat that
It always feels weird putting shit into my ranch but itās a banger
My best friend irl works for Clorox so I always feel like Iām vaguely insulting him for making a shit bland ranch

Some of that shit is crazy btw
Is that a bleach joke I'm not getting or something
Like they make lavender scented air fresheners, but lavender is allergenic, so they have to make a fake, Non-allergenic lavender
Is Blizzard done with tuning? Or why hasnt anything happened the last few days?!
And then it doesnāt aerosolize
So they have to add some other shit to make it aerosolize better
Shit is WILD
Oh! Is that why lavender scented things all smell different and nothing like lavender?
YAH
Tuning famously isnāt done until like 3 weeks after the raid
Just so happens that this ptr cycle is atrocious in comparison to regular
They are REALLY behind
No not really
I wonder if they'll delay the patch at all
I doubt that
Sure feels Like itā¦
No because the story has to be out by gamescom
(I'm hoping they do cos I'm at a festival the weekend before season starts and I'm gonna be dead the week after)
they didn't start late, they've been behind on everything since the start of dragonflight and it keeps getting worse
4 days of camping needs like 5 days of staring into the void to recover
Changing it would result in people having their Vacation on the wrong date
they have a strict 8 week patch cycle that they couldn't keep up with during dragonflight
and every single patch they fall further and further behind
Which was stupid to begin with
Yeah well they had more people back in the day I suppose
Yes one exp
in legion it worked cause they had a full year of work pre-done because of hellfire citadel
legion also had more dev time at the start from stealing from wods dev time
True
hellfire citadel was deadass like a 60 week tier
with 0 other content
WE LOST SHATTRATH RAID FOR THAT
Wow team is now bigger then its even been
but they said they're not doing long final tiers anymore
so they lost all that time between expansions
They have Wow classic, mop classic, Legion Remixā¦
miau
that's why amirdrassil was rushed, and then season 4 was garbage, and then war within launch got rushed, and then undermine was super rushed, and then now 11.2 is insano rushed
like every patch they just fall behind and behind and behind
not to mention all the little random time gated events in the .5 and .7 patches
Like I feel bad for lots of specs still having tiersets not working
I hate it 
gotta keep people on the sub hamster wheel
Let me just no life what I need to do in a patch and then I can play other games while raid logging
fun fact, that was originally the goal with classic and stuff
But at some point an Executive has to realize that they need to put the foot down and fix their shit right? RIGHT?`
but then classic blew up and they realized the overlap in playerbase isn't as much as they thought
yeah and now they are in sync

Lines gotta go up
so now instead of having classic offset for players to play during downtime
they just have two games
Well lines are about to go down bad if they keep doing this
also reminder that we're getting legion remix later this year
what the fuck is that

This is so clear in the mop launch. Literally mop raiding starts with s3 retail wtf
No long term planning, only line go up
Gotta secure those shiny bags
yah it's just them moving forward cause it's two distinct playerbases and not one split base like they thought it would be
Tbh was so sad to see that I cba even playing mop first tier
like the original idea was "we release classic, some oldheads come back and maybe get the itch for retail, and we just alternate patch cycles so there's always something to do in wow"
Then there's SoD which is its own thing
and then they got retail players trying classic for a week and hating it
and the oldheads just perma play classic
so now they just have two playerbases to feed
the thing about classic that confuses me is more like
when do they "Stop"
like, when is it not "classic" anymore
is it suddenly legion even thought during legion the same guys said that its a bad modern game and they want the good old days back?
that's the thing, they already re-released classic a second time and it was like 90% the size of the first release
and then during legion its "BfA with fixed azerite stuff"?
if they just do a SoD thing or tweak classic
they can legit just re-release classic servers
ad nauseum
Listen, levelling on a fresh server is peak okay
give them some nostalgia slop and they will throw money down your throat for the same thing 5x in a row
like what, we've had the first classic, the second classic, SoD, classic hardcore?
and then the anniversary classic?
I love classic levelling, it scratches an itch in my brain
and legit each one of those releases has been an absolute banger
I just don't care for the endgame so I hit 60 then relevel
Which cracks me up. I tried it once and it made me want to kill myself.
I played vanilla 20 years ago when I was in high school. I am way happier with the game as it is now.
Leveling imo is an outdated thing and most of the story should be just lorewalking etc.
I get classic hardcore Leveling
tried classic once out of boredoom, in not even 5min people where ranting about THE WOKES in general chat, and i left
did all that stuff when it was current content anyway
The LFG Chat in Classic
I really a special Place of people
I like aspects of both, still mostly play retail because the raids are better
The Fifa experience just for boomers instead of zoomers
But sometimes I just wanna level a character in vanilla and vibe
It can be cozy yeah
eh, strokes for different people
BUT the fun thing is that the "classic is actually about the LEVELING JOURNEY" thing only started after they screamed for years how its the ultimate OvE endgame experience
idk how leveling by fearing for my life if i pull 2 mobs at once or having to drink after every mob is cozy but you do you
Ofc everybody play what they like its just for me this ain't it
Oh for sure.
and then when classic stuff got destroyed 3min after it released all the time, it immediatly turned into "uhm, actually everyone knows that raids where not the big thing, its about the LEVELING JOURNEY"
while they all spammed scarlet crusade dungeons 24/7 with mage masspulls lol
I mean its perfect content to wathc stuff nex tot it
I was only commenting because some of us old heads are actually retail Andys. š
Encourages group play and working with random people. Or just play frost mage and become god idk
mate i play WoW for 18years now 
Bro my guild I think the youngest is 25 and oldest reaching 40. And all killing some mobs for 8 weeks during prog. š š š
This game is for old people. Even the up incommers in the raid scene are like early 20 and in other games they are just teens
For gaming yeah
Over 30 for gaming is old
I legit beta tested this game.
I remember trying to level on Sargeras and Illidan on release when the game was like a powerpoint.
I am. Old.
Yes
Decrepit.
When the game came out you can run it on xp now we are at 11 š š š
ngl, that always felt like Something league of legends players spewed around all the time because their brains go "esport = sport = most football players in their prime are in their early 20's = if you are not in your early 20's you are too old for competitive gaming"
with like, 0 facts behind it
shoutout to @warm vortex
Meanwhile half of them probably couldn't compete if you took away their adderall.
Imo its just when your young you have 0 responsibility and now older you still game but different

i feel like most of us who grew up with nintendos are now adults with pc's
i mean yeah, for me the most part too
I grew up with a PC since I was 4, and I was 4 in 1999
You old fuck
Imagine being in your thirties
couldnt be me, atleast for the next 2-3 years
I dont want to hear that
I grew up on an original Xbox at 4 playing SSX tricky and NFS underground
You are not my real dad
N64 was goated
Real, my mom gave hers away and I was pissed 
To be fair she gave it to her brother but
Do we have to refresh rupture/garrote on 2/3 target or just refresh on main target ?
Guys, I stopped playing mostly S3-S4 DF is it worth coming back to play to do mythic raiding?
Sir this is off topic, how dare you. (In m+ generally you want 5 ruptures out for scent stacks and keep garrote on main target)
āI want to sit in a comfortable chair, and watch television, and go to sleep at a reasonable hour!ā

Do you want to raid?
Yeah the intent is to CE again
I mean, then coming back for raiding isn't really a question, it's a certainty
I mostly quit cause my guild fucked me S4 DF and had hella issues with S1 early mythic raid prog.
They had insane expectations going into TWW because we did well in awakened 
Waiting for this to happen to the guild I'm in.
Did good in Undermine because it was an easier raid
Waiting for the implosion when we hit a wall 
I got to rank 94 Assa world in 10.2.5 and I wanna get back into top 100 and I feel like getting into a guild will be hell having not really played this expansion
To be fair like no one played assa then but I still think I could do it again if I had a fair guild behind me too
I quit was raging a lot that season over assa with KB parries and downtime during KB
KB isnāt as big anymore though right?
Also can't be parried anymore
lol what's KB?
I knew that, one of my fav former guild mates sent me a screenshot of the change cause I literally had a WA that would /yell when KB got parried 
idk if this is a hot take or not
but shadow dance was more fun and cool to engage with as sin/outlaw than it's ever been on sub
In m+ bleed build ya
I was never a dance hater. Plus it had snapshotting which I also like
I canāt not press KB guys
Bleed build it is
Hybrid is like the same dps and same build as before
it's pretty easy to not press a button you don't even have
Itās in my name 
some would argue even when we spec kb it barely matters
Rip, honestly prolly for the best
Dragon tempered blades + KB was genuinely a mistake
It was fun to hit HUGE KBs but it wasnāt healthy for the spec imo
i mean, KB is no big deal anymore
How s ROgue doing for S3 M+ and Raid ????
Isnāt there Envenom clipping now
I hardly played S1, I felt like they fixed some issues I had but not my main gripes
Wdym clipping?
Playable
I ended up playing arms 
Twist the knife probably
are we like Mid Tier? as usual haha
The zug life is behind me though, I am not gonna be someone who RPs rogue by just never saying a word 
Yeah ttk
Doesn't matter, most of us don't care about tier list and they are fake :p
bro, we're more zug life than ever atm
wee can't even change target
you literally have to bribe your raid group into working around our limited target switching ability atm
so you can just zug zug more
Iāve sorta-kinda kept up with the spec but not with the state of the game and raids
Pure ST is tragic, we donāt even tab garrote or anything?
Depends
you CAN snipe some ruptures on adds
seems like it
looks lime the same dance rogue has since SL
new tier comes out->sub is more or less the objective best option if you care about that because it can burst important adds down, assa is kinda allright but underwhelming->assa gets aura buffs ->everyone stops playing sub cus its sub
Outlaw eats glue and complains about target caps
Man it used to always be worth to spam spread your dots whenever you could 
Sudden demise goes ham
Also yeah I can pretend to be a dot class again which is nice
Swag, I loved bleed build but when I last played the Zerocool build was all the rage in high keys and youād just prio target
Yeah but like, if you're doing under 18s, just play bleed
bleed build also kinda pisses me off though
it's super fun
but it tricks my guildies into rocking a sin alt, and then COMPLETELY NOT UNDERSTANDING any of my class complaints because of
"idk man I've been playing my rogue a bunch and it's super fun"
Cleave build is only worth it for the high keys
I'm like fuck off dude, go play your 20 hours on rogue for more than a fucking day, come raid mythic with us instead of playing your ret
Gaslight them into playing deathstalker sub 
wdym
the only time a guild mate tried rogue, he asked me after 2days "how can you play this shit, its all so weird" and stoped

dude, I got peeps telling me "outlaw is super fun, I love having such a big cd"
and I'm over here like "FUCKING WHAT CD?!"
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
"at least it's a fairly simple spec though..."
MATE, ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME QUIT THE FUCKING GAME?!
outlaw is simple if you wanna stomp people in +7 keys
but like
you stomp them as a prot warrior that spams thunderclap on CD
this mother fucker is doing 10s and world questing like "man outlaw go pew pew, idk why you don't have fun on class?...???"
Just direct them to the outlaw channel
Bleed specs have always just clicked with me so I stick to bleed specs
