Ask Whispyr

#

Whispyr what trinket do we use for sin rogue in 2028

lucid rune
#

link plater profiles pleaseeee

thorn thorn
#

I use quaziis profile

spice sentinel
#

probably sac brood and signet of the priory which will be in rotation for the 8th time bc we keep voting them

thorn thorn
#

Real as hell

#

Im not trying to say people are wrong in their opinion based on the dungeon they voted for

#

I am simply saying if you voted for Ara Kara you are wrong

humble verge
haughty flicker
#

I voted for floodgate

#

Like a real assa chad

thorn thorn
#

I voted for dawnbreaker

spice sentinel
#

theyd definitely have server flare for who voted for floodgate vs arakara

thorn thorn
#

Floodgate is a choice

#

Arakara means they are an enemy of the state

weary spear
#

Floodgate without bubbles is amazing dung

#

Minus roots and harpoons into bombs

haughty flicker
#

RIP Bubbles

#

fuck how am i gonna get by without in game voice

lucid rune
#

can someone link plater profiles?

haughty flicker
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
lucid rune
#

weeeee

haughty flicker
#

couple at the bottom, other popular ones are jundies and quaziis

#

but those two in the command are made with assa in mind specifically

pliant remnant
#

JUNDIES NUTS

#

Jundies with a nameplate colouring mod is very naaaiz

slim hamlet
#

Does Recuperator work or is it still bugged?

haughty flicker
#

i think it works now

slim hamlet
#

Massive

#

Damn we actually running no iron wire for m+ generally?

normal mist
#

Depends

#

This season was DH inflated

#

DH has the AoE silence so iron wire was not really needed

spice surge
#

You can run it if you want to, but since its a dps loss a lot of people skip out on it

slim hamlet
#

I literally know nothing about the dungeons (if less than usual can be silenced and such) and meta for TWW, just now looking at stuff since I will play 11.2

#

Yea just wondered I guess it has to be pretty big dps drop since it used to be a meme to drop it for dmg in dragonflight

#

But can check with sims myself

haughty flicker
#

it doesnt help that the common drop is double shiv

#

which is just icky

slim hamlet
#

Was also not bleed build then so

spice surge
#

With bleed build its like 3%, for the cleave build a lot of people run its more like 5-6%

slim hamlet
spice surge
#

Well an extra shiv charge isnt really that many extra shivs

haughty flicker
#

it just makes me feel bad inside

#

its not a big damage thing

slim hamlet
#

Nah but can have double shiv for specific moments

#

Gonna have to play, was just surprised to see it

haughty flicker
#

i havent missed iw but i also do shitter keys

slim hamlet
#

I guess also no shadow dance (I actually forgot if shadow dance even gave iron wire tbh)

ptr tier list

worst tuned PTR in years

#

gimme gimme yummy tier list

#

yippie!

novel star
#

it never ends

balmy condor
#

look on the bright side

#

fuu updated his sheet with PTR sims

novel star
balmy condor
#

so I get to fight the battle from inside the house!

#

wahoo!!!!!!!!

novel star
#

have fun

balmy condor
#

I love world of warcraft!!!!!

novel star
#

sounds like a blast

buoyant herald

Oh you’re fucked m8

at what point do you ff and just disappear

raidlog and play maplestory forever

coral ibex
#

well he gets paid to be the assa guy so

marsh fjord
#

@balmy condor are you losing it

coral ibex
#

as long as his employment requires it i would imagine

novel star
#

ravenholdt was a bad dream

balmy condor
marsh fjord
#

Mabye if we all would lose it they fix rogue

balmy condor
#

I mean it's kinda whatever at this point, me and fuu will never see eye to eye with his spreadsheet

#

I've said it's actively harmful since legit shadowlands

#

but he's allowed to release whatever data he wants

#

that's his right

#

so it is what it is

balmy condor

haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

the argument in favor of the sheet is "more information = people have more access to info = they can make their own decisions"

#

which is an honorable take

#

except 99% of people literally cannot think for themselves

#

and do not understand what they are looking at

#

and only see number > other number

#

and number high = good

#

which is literally just not useful

hallow glade
#

I always thought of it as “what is the highest possible combination you can get in simc”

balmy condor
#

yeah but what is the point of that

#

and that also already exists

slim hamlet
#

I just like looking at spreadsheet. I also watch almost all ptr tier lists even tho it's a meme

thorn thorn
balmy condor
#

simcraft has standarized profiles for every spec every tier

#

if you want the highest possible combination you can get in simc, this already exists

thorn thorn
#

If tettles and doctor rat nose said tomorrow that oracle disc was F tier because it didnt have direct healing a disturbing percent of the player base would actually drop playing oracle disc and vomit up that same phrase

slim hamlet
#

Remember how when we were really op in amirdrassil but we simmed the absolute lowest even before nerfs

balmy condor
#

if you want to theorycraft, those profiles are there

#

as generic bis to test with

#

the sheet for that purpose would be entirely redundant at best

#

it's not about that

#

like the reason me and fuu don't agree on it

#

is because his view is that more info = better

#

and my view is that not helpful info = not helpful

#

this has been a major tension point between the two of us for legit almost half a decade at this point

thorn thorn
#

More info is not better it just muddies the water that might have actually useful data

chrome mirage
#

Idk, I like having it versus not having it.

thorn thorn
#

Why.

#

Explain why

chrome mirage
balmy condor
#

okay but what do you use it for

#

you like having it, that's great

slim hamlet
#

To look at for fun

thorn thorn
#

What purpose does this extra info have aside from bloat

balmy condor
#

but what purpose does it serve

chrome mirage
thorn thorn
#

is that the only reason

balmy condor
#

yeah okay, and I'm gonna be honest, you looking at the sheet for funsies does not outweigh people drawing incorrect conclusions

hallow glade
#

For me it’s a quick reference like “roughly how much does sin lose without skyfury in m+”, it doesn’t need to be perfect but it gives me a general idea

thorn thorn
#

The only reason we endorse production of terrible data just because its "fun" to look at

slim hamlet
#

Sometimes u just like looking at numbers even if they don't matter. Wouldn't it kinda be same response to the tuning pins you put out? It's numbers that has almost 100% chance to be changed in a week or two anyways. But we still like looking at it

thorn thorn
#

Yes but we already know they are subject to being change

balmy condor
#

you can't be serious

chrome mirage
#

This is a fun place garf

balmy condor
#

right

slim hamlet
#

Wait pause

balmy condor
#

you don't see the difference in a pin summarizing a set of balance changes within a spec, versus a spreadsheet that is a collection of sim dick size measuring?

#

please say sike

slim hamlet
#

Wtf do you mean "caustic spatter hater" that's the most goated talent ever

thorn thorn
#

Cuz fuck that talent

#

I liked the spec more before it was added

spice surge
#

Like you legit did 20% more damage on logs the first few weeks if you had 2 augs buffing you

thorn thorn
#

Lots of confused auggies wondering why they were gray parsing

#

Turns out the Sin rogue and BM were stealing their damage

buoyant herald
#

Did caustic spatter do it

spice surge
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

ye

buoyant herald
#

Is that why you hate it

thorn thorn
balmy condor
#

plenty of things stole damage

thorn thorn
#

It also creates this dynamic that some specs have where if you buff or nerf certain abilities the aoe indirectly benefits or suffers

buoyant herald
#

You must really hate blade flurry then

thorn thorn
#

You have no idea

buoyant herald
#

Hahaha. At least CS is vaguely dynamic with KB etc

haughty flicker
#

remove caustic so i dont have to even worry about padding on adds because i literally wont damage them

thorn thorn
#

Link is the worst example of the dynamic I mentioned

thorn thorn
#

Its been changed more times than patches its been in the game

#

But dont worry guys

buoyant herald
#

Funny how link gets more chhanges than flurry and Cs combined and doubled

thorn thorn
#

We got the number right for real this time

#

Promise

slim hamlet
# balmy condor you don't see the difference in a pin summarizing a set of balance changes withi...

I do see the difference yes. My point was that they are both numbers that doesn't really matter in a week but we like looking at them.

The pins showing actual dmg change is obviously more useful for both potential feedback and to see how builds are doing. Where the sheets I assume are purely for fun while waiting for ptr (tho might be wrong, but never saw anyone that actually played much compare sims between specs seriously).

The comparison in my message was just how they both are numbers that change in a week. I assume the majority of pin checker after tuning is just like "Oh pog +12% we op now surely" idk I am eepy 5am don't hurt me

haughty flicker
#

actually thinking about it

slim hamlet
balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

if they ever removed caustic (assuming no other changes) what would we even do to adds in raid

balmy condor
#

I guarantee you

haughty flicker
#

literally nothing right

balmy condor
#

most people are not just looking at it "for fun"

balmy condor
#

like if people just like staring at a spreadsheet that's fine

thorn thorn
#

You just dot them and move on

balmy condor
#

my concern is for the people who are actively harmed by the information in it because they cannot parse it properly

#

and you can argue that it's their fault for not being able to digest sim information properly, but that's kinda not the point

haughty flicker
thorn thorn
spice surge
#

Thats what people do for rogues too

balmy condor
#

I think it's unrealisitic to assume people will try to come to logical, well thought out conclusions based on a sim

#

that will never change

#

people want quick answers

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

and the quick answers provided by the sheet are AT BEST not helpful

#

and at worst, actively misleading

haughty flicker
spice surge
#

Then some people roll outlaw because it sims highest, and then they get upset they wasted their crafted weapon when outlaw is in fact not the best spec

spice surge
#

Many such cases

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

like I don't think you understand

balmy condor
#

you are the top 1% of sheet readers here

chrome mirage
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

the vast majority has no fucking clue what they're looking at and just blindly go "oh number higher"

slim hamlet
#

Something like that might have been my first message in this discord tbh xdx

thorn thorn
#

You dont understand how dented the majority of the wow playerbase is until you actively deal with them on a frequent basis

haughty flicker
#

high parsing sheet reader

hallow glade
#

“My child will type !fuu”

#

“Mine will ignore fast”

slim hamlet
#

U remember people calling you a sandbag in amirdrassil cuz Sim low but log op?

#

That was epic

balmy condor
#

they still do that

#

they've been saying assa sims are sandbagged since legit legion

slim hamlet
#

Damn

thorn thorn
#

My first post in this server was a question about a dogshit ability

slim hamlet
#

Only saw it in amirdrassil

balmy condor
#

assa overperformed sims in emerald nightmare

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

and people were upset about it back then too

haughty flicker
#

my first post was complaining about a trinket not dropping

#

then i moved on to transmog

#

based

slim hamlet
#

Lemme ser what mine actually was

vale shore
#

Sepsis isn't worth hating while Shadowheart is still in our talent tree

marsh fjord
#

Dont mind me asking this: im totally new to this. but how does a spec over perform sims? doesnt that mean the sims were not correct then?

chrome mirage
#

They didn't consult the sheet

balmy condor
#

they don't reflect actual fights with cleave

#

or extended execute phases

#

or moments where bosses take increased damage

#

etc etc

spice surge
#

Sometimes things are also bugged in sims, and sometimes theres very hard to spot bugs ingame

#

That the sims might not reflect

vale shore
#

or the two priests who dont deconflict their buff and both give it to you...

balmy condor
#

they also report the median, so people look at like a 3min giga high rolled RNG parse and go "why are they beating sims"

thorn thorn
#

A patchwork 5m st sim is literally just a "if you hit a regular boss for 5 minutes you can expect this result"

balmy condor
#

like realisitically, you should be able to beat your sim

marsh fjord
#

is it me or isnt that super normal?

Sims just take a random ass boss for 5 minutes. if you have a amp phase obv you gonna do more damage then your sim no?

thorn thorn
#

Yes

#

But you see

#

People are not smart enough to connect the dots

balmy condor
#

the sim is basically playing correctly on a target and then telling you the 50% parse

#

if you play slightly incorrectly but just rng like crazy

#

you should be beating the sims

#

that's intended

marsh fjord
#

Yeah i got u. but how can people be that dented lol

thorn thorn
#

Like I said

balmy condor
#

well

thorn thorn
#

You would be surprised how dented people can be

balmy condor
#

people think sims are TAS

#

and not sims

thorn thorn
#

Some of them actually just dont know any better

#

Some of them legit dumdum

slim hamlet
#

I legit don't know what my first message means tbh

balmy condor
#

and some theorycrafters also make their APLs basically TAS

fallow canopy
marsh fjord
#

I take sims with a big ass grain of salt. for me it's a indicator and nothing more.

vale shore
#

what is TAS?

balmy condor
#

do you remember how old echoing reprimand worked numbers?

marsh fjord
#

gotta finish on the combo point right

slim hamlet
balmy condor
# vale shore what is TAS?

tool assisted speedrun, it's like the programs people use during other games to do perfect speedruns cause it's frame perfect timings and shit and they need computer inputs for certain tricks

vale shore
#

oh okay

balmy condor
#

this is going somewhere I promise

marsh fjord
#

right?

slim hamlet
#

Oh yea

balmy condor
#

so one of the biggest examples of us "nerfing" the sims

slim hamlet
#

I remember that sub talent in sims

vale shore
#

sub was very difficult to hit the right combo point for ER

balmy condor
#

was during shadowlands, the sub simulations had the ability to proc the combo points

#

and then instantly switch the ability they were casting

#

to react to the echoing rep combo point

#

within like 20ms

#

completely inhuman reactions to procs

vale shore
#

something no human could do?

marsh fjord
#

which was very hard i presume?

balmy condor
#

I mean it's basically impossible

slim hamlet
#

Sounds like a skill issue

balmy condor
#

and so what we did was we neutered the sims ability to do that

marsh fjord
#

So the sims were incorrect because the robot did something you couldnt do

balmy condor
#

we made it so that the sim couldn't insta-react to those procs anymore

#

and it lost sub like 3% in sims or something crazy

marsh fjord
#

did people went ape shit over it?

balmy condor
#

yes

hallow glade
#

“25%” “50%” “soon” garf_sit

marsh fjord
#

lol

vale shore
#

people got angry because the sims were now more accurate to what they could expect to perform?

balmy condor
#

theorycrafters were getting death threats for sandbagging

#

legit

marsh fjord
#

im here shaking my head in real life lol

spice surge
slim hamlet
#

I wonder, did that actually change anything for anything besides just nerf the sim dmg. I guess it would nerf mastery a tiny bit

vale shore
#

perfect gameplay, sure. not IMPOSSIBLE game play!

marsh fjord
#

But in reality your damage was still the same but people dont understand that i geuss

balmy condor
#

the APL was changed to reflect pausing your casts

fringe spear
#

think its pretty pointless if the sim isnt replicable by humans so

balmy condor
#

instead of insta swapping

#

and people could have weakauras that like said "soon"

fringe spear
#

Well it'd still be pretty close but ye

balmy condor
#

hold for half a second to see if it procs

slim hamlet
#

Ah

balmy condor
#

and then make a decision

slim hamlet
#

That sounds super tedious

balmy condor
#

yeah but it recovered like 1.5%

slim hamlet
#

To just have sudden wa telling you to stop

balmy condor
#

from the 3% it originally lost

#

and that's the point of sims at the end of the day

#

to inform us how to play better and gear

#

but some classes wouldn't, and do not, do that

marsh fjord
#

I remember a guy in my guild that went to a dummy and looked at a 5 minut fight. and looked at the how much a spell woulda been cast in the sim and he tried to be perfectly on the same number of total cast on the dummy.

balmy condor
#

you can kinda snoop through some other classes APLs

#

and there is some DEMON shit in some of those sims

spice surge

#

Hi guys thinking of trying ass rogue. How does it handle in raid and m+

thorn thorn
#

Mages?

slim hamlet
#

I remember one class or spec was cooked but can't remember which :^)​

thorn thorn
#

Locks???

balmy condor
#

like reacting to procs and multiple buff timers overlapping perfectly down to 0.1s and shit

balmy condor
fringe spear
#

I remember frost mage used to be like that dunno if they still do

balmy condor
#

I have it open, hold on

opaque geyser
#

Well those are two different answers lol

thorn thorn
#

I havent actually looked to see how degen the dev and aug sims are

slim hamlet
#

Honestly pro tip is to make the sim look op instead of sandbagging. Finally gonna get invited to keys cuz community perception

marsh fjord
thorn thorn
#

I do know that Sael is fluffing augs ptr sims by making it buff 4 shadow priests for the lols garf_sit

#

idk what the fuck this is supposed to do

#

and why we're counting in GCD timers

opaque geyser
#

Well rn is it atleast playable in both? That’s wat i really care about

opaque geyser
#

Ok cool

balmy condor
#

that's not even a bad one, cause I can SORTA parse what it wants to do

#

like I get why they have it this way

#

but it's kinda aids

fringe spear
#

do not look at feral cd/trinket logic

main bridge
#

if you think that's unreadable wait until you see Rust code

slim hamlet
#

Funny how letters and numbers and then u clikc an item on a page made of more letters and numbers and then you get numbers that is good or bad

fringe spear
#

it looks very dumb

thorn thorn
#

They probably want it to measure the theoretical max instead of an average

opaque geyser
#

I just hate when a class performs so poorly in aoe that being skilled doesn’t help. Though I know that’s rare

balmy condor
#

some TC's (mostly the older TC communities tbh)

#

treat sims as extensions of humans

#

and will not let the sims be overcooked

#

but a lot of the new generation of TCs I've noticed are like

thorn thorn
#

Which is how it should be

balmy condor
#

actively trying to make the sims reach 100% perfection

#

which also is just another reason why comparing specs through sims

#

is just a fucking waste of time

haughty flicker
#

Need to brag you have the highest sim number

slim hamlet
#

I can see the idea in both. For what sims are actually made for, showing you which is better of 2 gear pieces or talents or whatever, it being the closest to human gameplay is better tho

balmy condor
thorn thorn
#

Reminds me of when sael was working on aug sims and was trying to figure out what "realistic" would be for buff swapping until he found some chinese log of an aug player buff swapping almost frame perfectly

#

Very suspicious

balmy condor
#

like you can make some fucked rule that is insanely difficult to execute in practice

thorn thorn
#

An older time

balmy condor
#

but is that something that you would actually recommend for people?

#

if people can't pull off the tech, why should the sims have it

#

ya know

#

idk

slim hamlet
#

I remember you talked about some epic 0.3% gain where you needed superpowers to do it

coral ibex
#

what kind of tech are you holding back the sims from doing for assa?

slim hamlet
#

That you didn't even want to share xdx

balmy condor
#

it's hard to standardize and regulate this for things

balmy condor
#

is the fact that crimson tempest does an instant tick of the bleed when you cast it

#

and so you can count it as an instant damage aoe finisher

thorn thorn
haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

and I set up a matrix of timings

thorn thorn
#

If its like a 2% or less gain then most people wont even bother

haughty flicker
#

CT does instant damage confirmed

balmy condor
#

where depending on how many targets you had, and what buffs were active

#

you could refresh CT before pandemic

haughty flicker
#

Snapshot gaming

balmy condor
#

but it was not linear and not consistent

#

so like if you had 5cp and 6 targets, you could CT 1.2 seconds before pandemic or whatever

#

and with 7 targets it would be 1.4

#

and on 8 it's 1.5

#

on 9 it's 1.8

#

etc etc

slim hamlet
#

This gave me ptsd to single target CT for some reason

balmy condor
#

the APL line was legit just a multi-variable demos line of best fit

opaque geyser
#

Math wizards

slim hamlet
#

I can't believe we used to insta refresh dots after applying them because of exsangyay

thorn thorn
slim hamlet
#

I miss my wife exs_uwu

thorn thorn
#

Never forget exsang worked on DM too

haughty flicker
slim hamlet
#

Was epic

balmy condor
#

but yah like there's cursed stuff on most specs, and it's up to the TCs to filter what's reasonable and not

#

and that's not an exact science and there's no rules about it

slim hamlet
#

And somehow kingsbane shat all over it in burst

balmy condor
#

so you get a lot of different versions of sims

thorn thorn
#

I miss pre-nerf KB

slim hamlet
#

I haven't played TWW yet assa

#

My memory is still of amirdrassil kb

haughty flicker
#

Lmao have fun with deathstalker

slim hamlet
#

Let me keep it a bit longer

thorn thorn
#

Chat who is gonna tell him

slim hamlet
#

:(

#

At least it's less rng right

thorn thorn
#

Chat who is gonna tell him?

slim hamlet
#

Oh

thorn thorn
#

Dont say at least both hero talents are viable

#

Or I will have to ask again

slim hamlet
#

Yea I haven't looked at assa hero talents since TWW beta and this about the new tier sets

#

Didn't really like any of them for rogue then, finally fixed up a whole new UI today so gonna level rogue tomorrow

slim hamlet
#

Holy last question before bedge. Did they ever change the fatebound animation or is the whole epic feel fo the hero talent still just a single coin popping out

#

That was so funny

balmy condor
#

you don't like my puns?

#

Whispyr I have an idea to make us great again

#

Its called delete mage

#

In this essay I will...

haughty flicker
#

no need for essay

#

i second the motion

buoyant herald
#

fuck it im in

coral ibex
#

how does deleting mage make us do more ST

fringe spear
#

Kill caster comps

#

You get melee buffs, moar dam

#

I'm in favor of deleting mage

haughty flicker
#

cats and rogues unite to delete mages

tropic rover
#

Delete all wizards

#

Then undelete boomkins so we can delete them a second time

coral ibex
#

oh you mistake me

#

i dont care about m+

#

i mean in raid

#

where you have all the buffs already

coral ibex
haughty flicker
#

and when you feel better you play better

thorn thorn
#

And also arcane int being removed doesnt impact us

#

I see no downside

buoyant herald
#

also deleting mage means 10 devs are instantly freed up

half tartan
#

Is there a tier list dps gain chart yet for all specs?

balmy condor
#

none of those words are in the bible

golden storm
#

Thinking about the dungeon pool, is there a world where sub is better for prog keys? We’re doing lower count and none of us are playing Iron Wire anyway.

Hi guys, completely new to rogue, trying it as an alt for next season as I am healer main. I want a pure damage class and I like the class design, but I suck atm. Hekili helps.

My question : is mage tower skin affordable as a new assassination player ?

hollow river
#

Or just asking if it will be difficult as a newer rogue

#

The legion mage tower weapon skins are unobtainable, but the transmog set from shadowlands is obtainable and isn’t very difficult I suppose

#

Just have to try keep bleeds on all 3 bosses and do the proper cc/kick rotation iirc

glossy ledge
#

I know it’s obtainable I meant if fight is not too difficult as a rogue newbie 😊

#

I’ll try seems like doable

onyx rock
#

The Sin one is kinda easy. You will still need some trys and watch a Video of it first but im sure you got this.

Hey fam noob rogue question: do I CT in ST for hybrid or forced induction build or just bleed?

What changed to make a fateboudn sim way higher, and should i learn fatebound

Fatebound dead

so i shouldnt learn fatebound i should learn sub LOL

You can also just use deathstalker, that's also okay

managing the mark looks aids in the raid

at least the turn around of DN is faster though

I'm not looking forward to it

whats targetswaps

it looks like some of the bosses FORCE the swap though

we'll see

I'll probably be rocking sub for the first while until we get that patch a month in we always get that buffs sin a bit

scarlet orbit

Will stay on assa. Doesnt really matter at my wr what i play so thats a plus

yeah there is that tbh

and bleed is still the go to for m+

I just havea few crankers in my group that will make me feel bad

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the best mythic+ build(12+) for assassination rogue 11.2?(BLEED OR HYBRID?)

normal mist
#

Bleed

#

Or hybrid

#

Depends

balmy condor
#

both

#

neither

#

cleave?

normal mist
#

Cleave is a choice

pliant remnant
#

The best Mythic+ build for Assassination Rogue 11.2 is making a DK and picking Frost on the spec screen

balmy condor
deep robin
#

Is it okay to use the same build that we currently use in retail?

balmy condor
#

yes

normal mist
#

Most likely yes

balmy condor
#

nothing changed

pliant remnant
#

There's like no changes

balmy condor
#

no changes = same stuff

normal mist
red schooner
#

I'm changing my death mark macro to use slot 14 instead of 13, just so I have a slight change garf

#

A bit of variety, ya'know

deep robin
normal mist
#

Yeah that's a good one

#

You can use it until pretty high,

#

You only really swap to another one when you start lacking ST damage

deep robin
#

Yeah, Thanks

oh, yes.

Can't help you there, I don't play ptr

pacemaker araz is fine

it's a test realm for a reason, just test

deep robin
#

No. Thanks for letting me know.

normal mist
#

I wonder if there's a Chinese wowhead

#

And if so, do they have different guide writers or if they just translate everything our writers do

balmy condor
#

as far as I'm aware they have a forum style thing going on

#

they have their own TCs

#

but the community as a whole is a lot more reliant on streamers

midnight mist
#

Bac was posting on their forums for a while

#

But ye

#

They trust streamers

balmy condor
#

more parasocial following the r1 streamers than like random sims/guides

normal mist
#

So whatever a R1 says it's good it's then law?

midnight mist
#

I think it's funny how they have basically the same if not bigger community and streamer people etc and we kinda have no idea about it

normal mist
#

In a way

midnight mist
#

balmy condor
#

Yah

balmy condor
midnight mist
#

Is it

#

I know the m+ players over there just boost keys Perma

#

And raid aswell

balmy condor
#

Their m+ teams won’t compete in mdi/great push because they’re just boosting and don’t care for the tournament stuff

midnight mist
#

But that's wow

balmy condor
#

Cause if they lose they get laughed at

midnight mist
#

Ye but that's just wow tho idk about streaming right

balmy condor
#

But they just make a living cause rmt boosting is entirely legal

#

And the norm

midnight mist
#

Or you mean I guess the 2 are closely related since streaming is the publicity

#

Advertisment

balmy condor
#

Ye

midnight mist
#

Idk if you say publicity in english

#

I forgor

balmy condor
#

The cycle is get high up ranking -> stream boosts for visibility -> money comes in -> repeat

#

And you’re either big enough e-penis or big enough e-celebrity to be successful through rmt boosting

#

It’s very strange

midnight mist
#

ye

#

I mean there is prolly people doing it aswell in the west

#

just discretely

balmy condor
#

It’s similar to our culture of like rank 1 keys = twitch views or you’re like tettles/dratnos/naguura who content farmed to celebrity status

Only if you take it literally. In this case real means “PTR sim ”

marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

Deathstalker tier is undertuned to hell though

#

So might be true

#

Fatebound is unplayable simple because of the cb timing fucking everything over

#

Even if the tier bonus itself is numerically fine

#

It’s not realistic that deathstalker stays so insanely weak, and it’s not realistic for people to play fatebound given the insane desyncing

#

4.6 is hilarious though

#

Big fan of that

#

Meanwhile there’s specs doing like 6.3

#

Really cool

What you're saying is, we need to bully outlaw and steal trickster from them

midnight mist
#

im trying to understand

#

waht this means

golden loom
balmy condor
#

It means nothing lines up

#

You either sack your cold blood, which makes it useless aside from opener

#

You hold your cold blood for deathmark, which I guess but then you lose casts

#

You hold Kingsbane for cold blood

#

In which case it’s back to 1:00 and 2:00

#

Which would also line up vanish

midnight mist
#

ye

balmy condor
#

Or you play destiny defined, which is not an option

#

Or you just accept that the tuning on deathstalker is arguably worse than the fatebound desyncing and everything is cancer and gonna change and just move on with life

#

Which is what I’m doing

midnight mist
#

but i mean in a scenario where it would sims better why wouldnt it be better, even if you do cringe desynced stuffs

#

i see

native turret
#

Tell me straight chief is it a reroll angle

balmy condor
#

And I’m waiting for blizzard to be serious with their game

red schooner
midnight mist
#

sure

golden loom
#

Well also fatebound in aoe is beyond dog

red schooner
#

So why does fate bound have the condition

golden loom
#

So ST sim for that when all raid fights have aoe

red schooner
#

At least then we could ignore cold blood

golden loom
#

Is kinda whatever

midnight mist
#

Did you also consider the fact fateboudn loses all it's st with additional adds whyspir

balmy condor
midnight mist
#

For outlaw we lose 20% prio in aoe

balmy condor
#

Yea

midnight mist
#

Ye right

balmy condor

opaque geyser
#

Ok so there will be downtime?

half tartan
#

Sometimes it feels odd not hitting a hutton for 4-6 seconds.

golden loom
prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.

Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.

prisma cypress
#

the upside is it really lets you devote more attention/brainpower to mechanics and things happening around you

#

that might sound weird but it's the truth

opaque geyser
#

Not used to downtime in a spec but that actually sounds fine. I tend to tunnel which I need to get in the habit of avoiding so being able to focus on mechanics is good

vocal basalt
#

Sorry if this has been covered, but is there a WA being created thats screams out you not to use shiv when the darkest night buff is up.

#

For next season obv.

bronze marsh
#

should be quite easy to add a condition to your existing shiv aura

prisma cypress
#

yeah that doesn't sound hard to create

bronze marsh
#

add a trigger for darkest night buff then desaturate or add a glow or something when the buff is present

main bridge
#

I thought you are supposed to shiv in DN to buff envenom

#

Or is that just changing in S3

vocal basalt
#

In season 3, the tier set makes it so when you use shiv it consumes a stack of deathstalkers mark

#

However, it can also consume your darkest night proc (as of now)

bronze marsh
#

wait it consumes DN for you guys

golden loom
#

no what

#

it doesnt consume DN?
