how's that different

thorn thorn
#

Crazy almost as if the spec is designed to have some downtime

glad osprey
#

Not as much

glad osprey
#

it’s not that sin isn’t fun it is

spice surge
#

Youre right, its not as much, its actually more on average

glad osprey
#

but feral’s TF makes it so you don’t have to pool

#

I never find myself pooling on feral I can’t lie

#

I do on sin

runic hinge
#

Feral has a reason to pool. Like there’s gameplay attached. Sin you’re just out of energy.

thorn thorn
#

If we talk about pooling it means we will eventually talk about tea and eventually auto tea

#

And then Whispyr will kill all of us

glad osprey
#

LOL

hearty seal
#

ngl if Sin's changed to have to pool for a noticeable benefit
I'm swapping lul

glad osprey
#

Auto tea is worse yeah

royal lantern
#

aaaand here it goes

runic hinge
#

I wouldn’t. I think pooling with a purpose is fine.

hearty seal
glad osprey
#

But I find feral a lot more fun to play unfortunately, I like them both but sin is a lot more clunky

balmy condor
#

Nah I’m leaving

#

It’s fine

#

Gonna eat food

thorn thorn
#

Look what yall did

#

Feel shame

balmy condor
#

Nah don’t

Idc

hearty seal
#

smh

glad osprey
#

I don’t like it it sucks

hearty seal
#

just wanna slam but like, with purpose
current SIn is close to that for me

glad osprey
#

feral also gets like 0 energy bite procs, more to click

royal lantern
thorn thorn
glad osprey
#

it’s fixable

spice surge
#

Yep, gotta make envenom not have 150% uptime so theres a reason to hold your energy to slam it in quick succession

#

Or something else

#

I liked the tier from amirdrassil

#

Rapid injection is just way too weak for it to matter though

royal lantern
lean plover
#

amirdrassil gameplay was fun

royal lantern
#

there are 120000000specs tgat allready work like that

runic hinge
royal lantern
#

so i really dont understand why people come to the one that is slightly different and immediatly say how bad it is and should be different

buoyant herald
#

Yeah there’s hardly any specs left in the game that aren’t gcd capped yet people find their way to them and complain

thorn thorn
hearty seal
#

tbh my preferred solution would be to introduce something to the ST rotation that ends up generating more energy
but you shouldn't get it automatically or be able to press it mindlessly so it can't be a proc or something that just says "here generate X energy per press"

thorn thorn
#

That sounds like tigers fury

#

Which is just Thistle Tea

spice surge
#

It doesnt need to be more energy, that doesnt really fix the issue. There needs to be something that makes the downtime where you are waiting feel better, more purposeful

runic hinge
#

Sin is basically gcd capped rn except with the bleed build in ST. Which is like one build in one scenario. People just can’t stand not slamming buttons

spice surge
#

Both sub and feral have more downtime in their rotation than assa as an example

hearty seal
#

my thinking was more along the lines of a GCD strike, rather than an oGCD CD

lean plover
#

i want less envenom spam, bigger kb, and energy gameplay

spice surge
#

But fewer people are complaining about that downtime on those specs

#

(theres still some that complain ofc, but less than with assa)

thorn thorn
#

Bigger Kb yes

hearty seal
#

well
Assa, on the surface, looks like a very sustained damage spec (as most DoT specs are wont to be)
Sub just makes it super clear that it has several major CDs and nothing much outside of that

sweet plover
#

Hear me out, unlimited energy and 80% dmg buff to all abilities.

hearty seal
#

which is why Assa gets complaints because it's neither perceived as a burst/CD spec (which has expected downtime)
or actually able to slam forever despite being perceived as more or less a slammer with DoT upkeep

royal lantern
runic hinge
#

What did you mean by this specifically

thorn thorn
#

Buff KB 80% then we will talk

royal lantern
#

buff shadowhearth by 80%

indigo mulch
#

Give me back 100 stacks of kb! 😄

#

pewpew

thorn thorn
#

true

indigo mulch
#

It was so cancer to play around.

thorn thorn
#

Revert the KB changes

spice surge
#

Convoke eats my BT stacks and maxes the berserk extra cp, so after convoke i have to either do no BT bites just to get rid of my cps or overcap cps to get BT up

hearty seal
spice surge
#

You could make it 500% and it would still be bad

hearty seal
#

weeeeell
500% could lead to some funni degenerate PvP stuff

spice surge
#

Or well, for raid as assa it would be fine since vanish is useless ig

hearty seal
#

like a Garrote+Rupture healing you for a million per second

#

but only when stealthed

#

basically get to reset combat for yourself even harder if you aren't knocked out of stealth quickly

balmy condor
#

Long time bug

#

I don’t think they ever fixed it

spice surge
#

Ye you have to sit in vanish for 3s

indigo mulch
#

I'd rather they stopped shoving things into vanish period. 😒

hearty seal
#

true

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

They are

spice surge
#

I mean shadowheart is never gonna be good until they make it work with more things

indigo mulch
#

And that's a good thing!

#

Now for the last patch notes.

spice surge
#

The fact that it doesnt work with vanish, subterfuge nor shadow dance is just baffling

hearty seal
#

the best change this year was the +40% buff to Mutilate that made VV outdo MA+Subterfuge

indigo mulch
#

I expect to see: "Cooldblood's cooldown starts when using the ability while in assassination"

#

😦

spice surge
#

Idk why that would be limited to assa

hearty seal
indigo mulch
#

I'm guessing they put the whole thing in there because there was some cheese going on.

#

I don't see why else they would put it to be like that if not for that ;s

hearty seal
spice surge
#

But idk, even if they do fix cold blood its possible you end up using it at 2 minutes a lot of the time anyway because racial+2 min trinket+MA

indigo mulch
#

I wouldn't know i'm not smart enough for that, but i would assume you could at least use the 1.5min cds somehow if your cb arent drifting all the time.

spice surge
#

If you dont BL on pull playing prism instead of the 2 min one is probably fine though

hearty seal
#

what, is DS set back enough that people are actually considering Fatebound for S3, barring future changes?

lean plover
#

no

indigo mulch
#

Noone is considering fatebound.

#

lol

lean plover
#

fatebound is not playable

#

at all

indigo mulch
#

I just want it to be viable. Playing around 1.5min cds sounds fun. That's all.

hearty seal
#

what's CB have to do with anything then

lean plover
#

cb is the reason you delay kb

#

so not 45 sec cd kb

#

so no 90 sec dm

indigo mulch
#

Because of CB you end up at 2min cds instead of 1.5min windows.

#

When you click CB the cooldown dosen't start until you use 2 finishers.

#

So everytime you use CB your CB cd drifts futher and futher away from your KB.

#

So you end up having to hold KB and that just invalidates the entire 4p.

hearty seal
#

which is why FB is dead, right?

spice surge
#

Ye here is the fatebound set bonus for anybody who missed it

indigo mulch
#

No, it has more issues.

hearty seal
#

well, part of it

indigo mulch
#

The other issues is the self nerf in AoE.

#

People wants to play fatebound in AoE cause you don't have to juggle the mark around. So it would make add swapping way easier

hearty seal
#

ok yeah I was just thinking about it in the context of "wtf does CB have to do with DS, if FB is dead? is FB somehow not fully dead?"

indigo mulch
#

but fatebound self nerfs itself with adds up.

hearty seal
#

but it's dead
(good, trash from top to bottom, nothing good about this talent tree)

lean plover
#

yep, i would love not having to play ds

spice surge
#

Theres going to be A LOT of complaining about DS in here this tier

indigo mulch
#

Yeah..

spice surge
#

Most bosses have target swaps

lean plover
#

wdym? ill have fun as trickster

hearty seal
#

haven't been following the raid stuff

indigo mulch
#

I mean this will just be a sub tier that's all.

#

Most people will prob play sub while the rest of us stays assa 😄

visual sun
#

Play a different tier problem solve OMEGAKEKW

hearty seal
#

how many target swaps are we talking

indigo mulch
#

Many.

hearty seal
#

ye but like
every second boss kind of many
or 1-2 bosses but lots of swaps in them?

spice surge
#

First 3 doesnt, 4th does, 5 is a council boss so it has a fuckton, 6 doesnt, 7 and 8 does

hearty seal
#

shit

#

so both

lean plover
#

no worries next patch notes they fix fb and we are freecopium

indigo mulch
#

lmao

spice surge
#

Some of them are more akin to how ansurekk was

#

Theres like an intermission type thing where you need to make sure you dont have your mark on her when it starts

hearty seal
#

weeeeell
Ansurek was manageable

fresh kelp
#

is the eranog mechanic on loomithar more often than vanish cd?

spice surge
#

Well if that ends up being tightly tuned ye ig thats one more boss

hallow glade
#

2nd boss eco dome omegalul

indigo mulch
#

A lot of people just picks spec depending on the end bosses.

#

If they are heavily favored by sub then i guess a lot of people will just play sub because they don't want to swap around specs.

#

and people look at rwf obv. If they play sub (they will) people will just automatically copy what they do.

hearty seal
#

at least fishstick isn't a totem anymore so no need to hardswap

fresh kelp
#

assa might just end up being annoying to play with the mark shit

#

regardless of tuning

Pookie Video For Patch Notes, Fatebound Deep Dive Later This Week

  • Cold Blood Fixed -> Very good, hard to quantify, makes the rotation not feel like ass
  • Kingsbane bug fixed (roughly 3.5%) -> Very good #2
  • 17% buff to tails is actually crazy. This line ON ITS OWN is a 3% overall buff in single target, and most of that will be condensed into Deathmark/Kingsbane windows with edge flips, which are now also stronger because of the cold blood fix, absolutely crazy
  • 4% overall is good too, that's another 3.7%

All together fatebound is gaining roughly 12% from these changes, and possibly more depending on APL changes that come as a result of this and the (hopefully upcoming soon) death of Araz's Ritual Forge. Right now Ritual Forge is oppressively strong compared to 1:30 options which is hindering fatebound a bit.

Deathstalker
Tier buffs are good but nowhere near enough, but the extra second on shiv is nice. The Tier set before was roughly 9%, and most likely will be around 12-13% afterwards, which still puts it well and truly in the "weak" category of tier sets overall, but no longer awful.

is there any concern about trading DM, which you can control, vs the total rng of FB?

#

i always enjoyed the possibility of fb

marsh fjord
#

someone explain to me because i never played fatebound why do we use cold blood for fatebound?

#

whats the reason behind it

buoyant herald
#

Cold blood games the coin flips to let you reach the keystone reliably

spice surge
#

Theres a talent in fatebound that makes cold blood better

#

Literally as simple as that

sonic zinc
marsh fjord
#

Ohhhh

#

makes sense

haughty flicker

fatebound+cb=gud

marsh fjord
#

Thanks!

amber fossil
#

tbh, I am not looking forward to more coin bs, roll the bones is why I came back to sin

#

if this do that, if that do this, etc

haughty flicker
#

there is literally none of that with fatebound

#

you proc the coin in opener and completely ignore it

#

the entire fight

balmy condor
#

it feels like people have no clue how fatebound works lmao

buoyant herald
#

It’s all just in the background you don’t interact with it yeah

visual sun
#

Why is blizz doing this, dont they know them youtube streamers already did a class tier list this close to patch like smh

visual sun
#

Think of the fotm enjoyers

buoyant herald
#

They hear coin toss, they think roll the bones

amber fossil
#

well tooltip says you can get a chance to get a 15 sec buff or just dmg thew target

balmy condor
#

well it's not a chance, they're guaranteed

amber fossil
#

so I assume tghe rotation will be diff when you have the buff?

balmy condor
#

you either get one or the other, guaranteed

haughty flicker
#

no

balmy condor
#

and neither of them change the rotation

#

it's just bonus damage on finishers

#

either you're doing bonus damage because you have heads and everything does more damage

amber fossil
#

halleluiah!

balmy condor
#

or you're doing bonus damage because you got tails

#

and it just..... did damage

#

you don't even need to track the coins at all

#

there's no buffs or debuffs to track

#

no anything

cloud basin
#

so you saying i wont have to potentially play deathstalker this season?

#

just keep raw buffing coin damage until losing damage from extra targets just doesnt matter anymore

balmy condor
#

okay I can't overload the algorithm with multiple videos too quickly, so pookies get patch note run down and then I finish writing guides since the fatebound stuff needs to change now omegakekw

#

Sometimes things dont match what they wrote and/or theres undocumented shit ontop of it

marsh fjord
#

is fatebound considered the easier hero talent?

#

since its all passive

balmy condor
#

by far yes

pure tide
#

hi

marsh fjord
#

well it would be nice to change it up a bit

jolly heath
#

Would fatebound playable in cleave fight

#

So i dont have to care about mark anymore

marsh fjord
jolly heath
#

Some bosses require swapping target and it’s really aids with ds

marsh fjord
#

yeah thats what i meant

#

if both hero talents are good. you would play fatebound in cleave because of swapping is ass?

#

if you only care about the swapping that is

#

i dont know any other interactions.

#

but that really depends on tuning i feel like

haughty flicker
#

fatebound actively loses damage when there are any adds out, which is a big reason why we havent been playing it even when it theoretically was ahead/even in st

#

if they keep raw buffing it maybe it just wont matter though lmao

marsh fjord
#

Oh why does FB loses damage on adds?

haughty flicker
#

mainly these

haughty flicker

deathstalker actively helps your cleave

#

while fatebound actively hurts your prio

nova kelp

we kinda just suck at target switching as a baseline, like built into the spec
the hero talents just make it shittier for various reasons

Theres been no notes about it no

#

So just a wishlist

unborn wharf
#

can someone explain what the cold blood change means? was it bugged before

spice surge
#

No thats just how it worked

#

It doesnt matter at all for sub

haughty flicker
#

it didnt line up well with new tier

#

now it will line up better

spice surge
#

Its fatebound related

haughty flicker
#

is basically it

spice surge
haughty flicker
spice surge
#

But ye before you needed to use both of your envenoms for cold blood to go on CD

#

And since you want to line up cb with coldblood

#

It effectively made kingsbane a 50-52s cd

#

Instead of 45

unborn wharf
#

ahhhhh that makes sense

#

i wasnt too familar with fatebound sin tbh

haughty flicker
#

nobody is fortunately

spice surge
#

And when you get to 1:46 when your stuff is ready you might aswell hold for 2 minutes since you have racial, vanish and a strong 2 min trinket

haughty flicker
unborn wharf
#

ok so good stuff and sub CB is not really functionally different at all?

rose inlet
#

none of this changes the fact that fatebound insta loses in aoe right

spice surge
#

Fatebound loses a lot in aoe yes

haughty flicker
#

sub uses cb the same time they press it so yeah doesnt matter

#

changes nothing for them

spice surge
#

But these buffs seem big so it might do enough damage to tank the loss

#

in raid that is

rose inlet
#

would that mean our st is just out of control at that point for fatebound

spice surge
#

Relative to deathstalker probably ye

ig blizz really wants someone to pick this hero talent before the xpac ends lol

Most classes press buttons when theyre ready, sub pools a lot of them

I think its the CDR that's a bit daunting

i’ll admit to being sub-curious lately

Was for me at first

i liked it in aberrus but that’s the last time i tried it

buoyant herald

For me it’s that you kinda need to know what you’re prepping for and pug keys are a shambles

#

Like you get ready then the tank pulls one pack

#

Do I send or keep waiting?

It also just blows in world content haha

haughty flicker
#

with a group im sure its more like how it is in raid

#

where you just plan where you want to use cds

#

probably decently fun

buoyant herald
#

Yeah exactly

#

I don’t dislike the playstyle, it just brings more frustrations than assass or outlaw in pugs

humble ginkgo

is trickster better than DS now

haughty flicker
#

yes

marsh fjord
#

wrong channel

humble ginkgo
#

wtf am i saying

#

LOL

#

i meant fate

spice surge
#

For pure ST ye probably, for anything with adds unsure

humble ginkgo
#

hmm

haughty flicker
#

also remember

#

assa tier might not look great

#

but just tell your loot council you'll play sub if you get tier

#

then dont play it

pliant remnant
#

That's what I did in Undermine

#

but they still didn't give me tier

buoyant herald
#

Same as last tier 😎

Between FB and DS are there rotionals differences? i saw we play with imp garrote

So is fate bound still doa

just need to stay away from adds

haughty flicker

tell tanks to pull boss away from adds

dawn pollen
#

but isn't there alot of cleave in raid xD

haughty flicker
#

mine already do that anyway

balmy condor
#

yeah where's all the people complaining that their raid doesn't stack adds

#

fatebound is perfect

#

just play with shitter tanks

slim hamlet

Let’s gooo

#

Fatebound is here

wait my only alt is my guardian druid.. that makes me the shiter tank that helps fatebound 😕

#

@bronze pike what hero talent is ret playing

slim hamlet
#

The one with highest number from robot thumbsup

worn badger
#

the one that lets them stil have a 3 button fashsmash rotation?

marsh fjord
#

@balmy condor this might be impossible to asnwer but if current tuning stays. do we play FB in single target fights? or is it just dependant on trinket tuning

balmy condor
#

yes

rain mortar
#

Assa rogue maybe best rogue now for raid

balmy condor
#

would've probably played it on fractilus before the tuning

worn badger
marsh fjord
#

so if we nerf that trinket with the huge main stat from araz

#

its FB gaming

balmy condor
#

on at least 1 fight, yes

dawn pollen
#

fb on one fight better than 0 xD

runic hinge
#

Can I play it on every fight

balmy condor
#

you specifically yes

pliant remnant
#

No

slim hamlet
#

That's like 12.5% of the fights

runic hinge
#

Okay I will

pliant remnant
#

No don't do it

vale shore
#

If I switch to fatebound, can I also switch to Shadowheart?

pliant remnant
#

The entire game will explode

spice surge
#

With how big the buffs were its possible its solid on some of the other bosses too if you can tank a few seconds of reduced damage from adds being up

so who would be happy if you never had to press shiv again except for the soothe effect ?

balmy condor
#

that sounds awful

haughty flicker
#

why are we trying to remove even more buttons

slim hamlet
#

Literally would have less cooldowns than defensives xdx

runic hinge
#

I have a gif just for this occasion

pliant remnant
#

I'd be happy if we just had no combo points and only pressed Envenom

spice surge
#

Having the soothe being tied to one of my main damage cooldowns definitely didnt feel good in theatre of pain

pliant remnant
#

Nothing else

spice surge
#

But that piss dungeon is no longer with us

#

So

marsh fjord

if im in a group where shiv is the only soothe then im in a group that doesnt have a soothe

Is fatebound mostly passive, what changes in the gameplay?

deleting shiv might as well just rework the spec from scratch

#

there's nothing left at that point

thorn thorn
#

Not true

#

We have deathstalker

hearty seal
#

just make mutilate do everything 5hed

balmy condor
#

yeh mutilate and envenom

#

very cool

haughty flicker
#

they could replace shiv with a button that buffed bleeds specifically

#

maybe it could be on a 1m cd

hearty seal
thorn thorn
#

Ngl no jab at anyone (directly) but every cook I see come in here to "fix" the spec has always been extremely fried

#

Without fail

haughty flicker
#

could like duplicate bleed damage or something

#

that would be cool

runic hinge
#

What about a button that every 45 seconds made your bleeds tick out twice as fast, snapshotted your haste and increased their damage by 100%

haughty flicker
#

wait you're right that sounds great

hearty seal
#

all this talk is making me think of my ex

#

Give KB a 2nd charge

#

Does atrophic poison stack in raid with multiple rogues?

runic hinge
#

Yes

hearty seal
#

yes

thorn thorn
#

For absolutely no reason too

runic hinge
#

Multiplicatively

hearty seal
#

so it's -3.6%, then -3.6% of what remains, etc.

#

still, could get like a 10.5% damage reduction with just three rogues

looking at pinned post are the assa DS changes looking like a 7-8% buff in ST then? since 3-4% from tier + 4% aura buff? or have i misunderstood

subtle drift
#

QUick question, can't find it in the guide. Do i apply rupture/garrote on the main target to spread it or switch trough target to spread it? Like, is it intelligent and is applied to new mobs that doesn't have the bleeds already or could i be unlucky and refresh bleeds if i stay on the main target?

balmy condor
#

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

The hopium huffing wasen't all for naught

Bro I want fatebound to be op so bad lol coin tossing fantasyCring

I don't care about the coins, i just want 1.5min cds. D:

I mean i guess its still awful on cleave 😐

runic hinge
#

More kb damage and coin damage means more spatter so maybe it’s not quite as bad

indigo mulch
#

I dunno, it still self nerfs itself

#

and coin damage dosen't count towards spatter right? Or maybe i'm huffing glue.

runic hinge
#

Coin damage definitely spatters

indigo mulch
#

That just shows you how much spatter+fatebound i've played.

haughty flicker

cosmic damage gaming

rich dragon

I see it there but never figure it out

buoyant herald

It’s arcane/nature I think?

worn badger

its magical girl rogue powers

buoyant herald
#

Combined damage types now all have their own names

haughty flicker
buoyant herald
#

Spellfire is arcane/fire, plague is nature/shadow etc

haughty flicker
#

arcane nature and a few others even i think

#

but since its nature it spatters

frozen glacier
#

in the hypothetical scenario of fatebound being worth it does the rotation change much?

marsh fjord
#

I was looking at some reels on youtube and i just saw this picture kekman

#

This is PTR btw

#

like a Week ago

indigo mulch
buoyant herald
#

Unlikely, FB is giga passive

#

No more dry shiv i guess if that counts

marsh fjord
#

You do play with improve garrote

#

But that might be changed. was just looking earlier at wowhead

buoyant herald
#

I mean sure, there could be changes from changing your spec tree

marsh fjord
#

but when i was looking at the opener it didnt say to refresh garrote

#

which was weird

#

oh it does but a bit later actually

indigo mulch
#

I'm guessing whispyr will finish the new guide in a couple of days.

#

We can read it then 😮

#

He also said he would deep dive into fatebound in a video if you don't want to read. So patience is a virtue!

marsh fjord
#

Yeah i know he said it in his earlier video where he is finishing some wowhead work

#

and after that he would make the video

golden loom
#

Okayyy atleast we get to play fatebound on 1 fight now

indigo mulch
#

I mean prob more than that tbh

#

first boss you could prob fatebound on tbh

#

There are only adds in the intermissions

#

and they are spread apart so they aren't really affected by the selfnerfing

#

i think

marsh fjord
#

I think most fights next tier has adds

indigo mulch
#

The spider thingie you can prob play fatebound at as well. There are no adds there other than the circles that spawns.

rich dragon
#

Fatebound op pog?

indigo mulch
#

I mean its still only 2 or maybe 3 bosses where you could play it lmao

rich dragon
#

I played like 4 class this season rogue is the only class being hero talent such one sided

#

Every other one I played switch atleast some cases

golden loom
rich dragon
#

lol

indigo mulch
#

But is fatebound even good on outlaw?

#

I think fatebound been dead for both outlaw and assa for like 2 raid tiers now, maybe even a third if it dosen't do good enough in omega

golden loom
indigo mulch
#

Even with the buffs i still have my doubts that it will be playable in omega

#

Maybe if there are fights where its impossible to manage your mark with different adds? I dunno

sour skiff
#

like almost every fight?

indigo mulch
#

Yeah but in undermine those adds just died to passive cleave.

#

99% of them actually.

rich dragon
#

More buff lets pray

sour skiff
#

won't in mythic prog

indigo mulch
#

I mean most people outside of top100 never had to bother with the adds much. ;s

#

Everything got nerfed so fast after rwf and with the stacking damage buff, adds just became irrelevant really quickly and just became a cleave fest.

sour skiff
#

ok im talking mythic prog

#

after prog it doesnt matter

indigo mulch
#

?

#

I'm also talking about mythic prog.

gaunt sigil
#

We so back okayge

spice lagoon
#

fdk is doomed

sour skiff
# indigo mulch I'm also talking about mythic prog.

yes so in my mythic prog, deathstalker is maybe playable imo in like 3 fights, but no point in playing it if sub is just better or comparable. all the other fights switch targets or remove your current target etc

haughty flicker
#

just because there are adds doesnt mean you have to swap to them to do damage

#

on most of those fights you'll be able to cleave off boss and do perfectly fine

#

there are some where it could potentially be annoying though for sure

#

do dh boss and your marked target jumps to the other side of the map

sour skiff
#

forgeweaver force switches your target, soul hunter force switches your target, nexus king force switches your target, not even counting adds you need to switch to kill on any other fight

haughty flicker
#

forgeweaver and soul hunter could be annoying yeah, nexus king shouldnt be an issue

#

and the other fights you just cleave off boss

sour skiff
#

nexus king will be an issue

#

dragon spawns you lose mark

#

you go to ramp you need to kill adds lose mark

haughty flicker
#

if you struggle that much then dont play it peeposhrug

#

i dont think it will be nearly as bad as you make it out to be

indigo mulch
#

The guy wants to play what is the best. I suspect sub will be the best for almost all the fights so just play sub 😮

#

And that's fine as well

sour skiff
#

i will be playing sub probably, i was just saying, no deathstalker doesn't feel great in raid atm

golden loom
sour skiff
#

yes but you vanish for dragon then you go to platform after, so you need to juggle the mark again to platform and back down

haughty flicker
#

tbf i think nexus king is 100% a sub fight anyway, but not because of mark

#

they'll just do way better on platform than assa even assuming your mark is perfect, plus amp phase if it lines up properly

sour skiff
#

possibly, i only tested sub a little for it

runic hinge
#

Is it a timed thing? The platforms?

uncut dragon
#

Hey rogue friends. Had a hand injury probably going to need surgery. How bad is the one button rotation compared to a five finger symphony? can I get away with it in heroic raids or mid-tier m+?

#

I'd do the comparison myself but I don't have all 5 fingers at the moment

main bridge
#

!guide

haughty flicker
#

but i wasnt able to test that boss so this is just what i watched

I mean if you know a phase is coming you can just hold DN

haughty flicker
#

we'll be playing fatebound anyway

runic hinge
#

Not saying it’s a perfect solution but I mean there’s more than just sending vanish

haughty flicker
#

coin gaming

sour skiff
#

yes you can, its totally doable. it just doesn't feel good and i don't think deathstalker is great

runic hinge
#

I mean I’m coin gaming every boss

haughty flicker
#

wtf

runic hinge
#

Deathstalker has pushed me away kekW

haughty flicker
#

fair lmao

tight ginkgo
#

We're SO BACK

haughty flicker
#

there was a distinct possiblity i swapped this tier but the rogue trial we picked up just randomly left and i cant convince anyone else to swap

runic hinge
#

I am Aotc Andy anyways and my guild has 9 billion melee so I figured I’d get out of that cluster for a tier and see what midnight holds

#

I’ll be back on rogue by the .5 patch more than likely anyways

uncut dragon
#

one button keeps letting rupture and garote drop off for a second or 2 and doesn't factor in pandemic I think, messes with my ocd.

main bridge
#

OBR doesn't use cooldowns either

uncut dragon
#

just deathmark, I think?

main bridge
#

yes

#

not sure if it uses shiv but that's also important

#

with current tuning is it the case where we will play one hero tree for the 1:30 profile and the other for the 2 min profile or is fatebound just better always atm?

balmy condor
#

neither

subtle tundra
#

with current tuning you play fatebound for the pure st and then ask for a discord stream

balmy condor
#

we'll play fatebound on maybe 2 fights

proud salmon
#

what;s the reasoning for the differnece atm?

#

i can also wait on your video 🫡

balmy condor
#

fatebound is giga omega dogshit the moment there's anything other than 1 target

proud salmon
#

ahh okay 💀

balmy condor
#

most fights have moments with more than 1 target

proud salmon
#

switching for the diff timings seemed so cool to me

balmy condor

there's no clear 1:30 fight currently
