Crazy almost as if the spec is designed to have some downtime
Not as much
Yeah but someone was asking to compare
it’s not that sin isn’t fun it is
Youre right, its not as much, its actually more on average
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
Feral has a reason to pool. Like there’s gameplay attached. Sin you’re just out of energy.
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
LOL
ngl if Sin's changed to have to pool for a noticeable benefit
I'm swapping lul
Auto tea is worse yeah
aaaand here it goes
I wouldn’t. I think pooling with a purpose is fine.
will he have to drink tea for it tho?
But I find feral a lot more fun to play unfortunately, I like them both but sin is a lot more clunky
Nah don’t
making him eat

enjoy king
Live with your delusions
making a guy eat
Yeah pooling with sin is just energy
Idc
smh
I don’t like it it sucks
it's fine
but not for me
just wanna slam but like, with purpose
current SIn is close to that for me
feral also gets like 0 energy bite procs, more to click
then play something else, you are not the Protagonist?
You are extremely quotable
I do play it, but not liking something about a spec doesn’t mean I shouldn’t talk about it !
it’s fixable
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
and the fix is not "give it mindless endless energy"
amirdrassil gameplay was fun
there are 120000000specs tgat allready work like that
Have a good night pookie
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
Yeah there’s hardly any specs left in the game that aren’t gcd capped yet people find their way to them and complain
Surprisingly the concept of a specific playstyle or concept having a small but dedicated population because it is not homogenized is a foreign concept to people
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"
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
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
Both sub and feral have more downtime in their rotation than assa as an example
my thinking was more along the lines of a GCD strike, rather than an oGCD CD
i want less envenom spam, bigger kb, and energy gameplay
But fewer people are complaining about that downtime on those specs
(theres still some that complain ofc, but less than with assa)
Bigger Kb yes
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
Hear me out, unlimited energy and 80% dmg buff to all abilities.
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
average mage patchnotes be like
What did you mean by this specifically
Buff KB 80% then we will talk
buff shadowhearth by 80%
true
It was so cancer to play around.
Revert the KB changes
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
tbh I wonder if buffing shadowheart to be like
50% leech when it applies
without changing anything else
will do anything at all to its popularity and usability
You could make it 500% and it would still be bad
weeeeell
500% could lead to some funni degenerate PvP stuff
Or well, for raid as assa it would be fine since vanish is useless ig
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
Shadowheart doesn’t heal from vanish, only full stealth
Long time bug
I don’t think they ever fixed it
Ye you have to sit in vanish for 3s
I'd rather they stopped shoving things into vanish period. 😒
true
I mean shadowheart is never gonna be good until they make it work with more things
The fact that it doesnt work with vanish, subterfuge nor shadow dance is just baffling
the best change this year was the +40% buff to Mutilate that made VV outdo MA+Subterfuge
I expect to see: "Cooldblood's cooldown starts when using the ability while in assassination"
😦

Idk why that would be limited to assa
even if it works permanently it's just 2% leech
so it's just
borderline meaningless regardless
it's just borked on every side
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
it could also be how the ability's worked for a while and nobody's touched it
can't remember if it was like that in vanilla
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
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.
If you dont BL on pull playing prism instead of the 2 min one is probably fine though
what, is DS set back enough that people are actually considering Fatebound for S3, barring future changes?
no
I just want it to be viable. Playing around 1.5min cds sounds fun. That's all.
what's CB have to do with anything then
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.
which is why FB is dead, right?
Ye here is the fatebound set bonus for anybody who missed it
No, it has more issues.
well, part of it
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
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?"
but fatebound self nerfs itself with adds up.
but it's dead
(good, trash from top to bottom, nothing good about this talent tree)
yep, i would love not having to play ds
Theres going to be A LOT of complaining about DS in here this tier
Yeah..
Most bosses have target swaps
wdym? ill have fun as trickster
haven't been following the raid stuff
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 😄
Play a different tier problem solve 
how many target swaps are we talking
Many.
ye but like
every second boss kind of many
or 1-2 bosses but lots of swaps in them?
First 3 doesnt, 4th does, 5 is a council boss so it has a fuckton, 6 doesnt, 7 and 8 does
no worries next patch notes they fix fb and we are free
lmao
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
weeeeell
Ansurek was manageable
is the eranog mechanic on loomithar more often than vanish cd?
Well if that ends up being tightly tuned ye ig thats one more boss
2nd boss eco dome 
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.
at least fishstick isn't a totem anymore so no need to hardswap
assa might just end up being annoying to play with the mark shit
regardless of tuning
speaking of
With hotfixes that will be deployed over the next few days, we will be making the following class adjustments on the Ghosts of K’aresh PTR: Death Knight Hero Talents Deathbringer Frost Wave of Souls critical strikes now increase the Shadowfrost damage the target takes by 3% per stack (was 5%). Swift and Painful now increases Strength by 5...
They fixed cb
WHOA WHOA WHOA
this is the post I would expect about rogue changes but there is actually more!
Yo pog
lol lmao
Kb fixed too for fb

Manaforge Omega 4-set bonus – Now increases Shiv duration by 3 seconds (was 2 seconds).
11 seconds of shiv...
Lmfao
Maybe we won't just be above Prot Warrior is damage now?!?!
Fatebound playable yet?
is cb change enough for fatebound tho? thinking you kinda want vanish still or its just vanish on opener and then 3 min in?
I mean
the design isn't changed
so that delve trinket got like a 50% nerf?
WE ARE BUFFED
POGGIES WOGGIES
Coin damage buffs
Poggies
true
Think about the cosmic damage

No mark swapping
@flat pier waiting for those feetpics
Fb tier
Where Whispyr? Where pins?
i mean if fb wasnt ass in anything other than pure st i'd swap immediately
fuck mark
all my homies hate mark
Maybe I'm the majority but I don't mind mark gaming.
Where pookies
Minority***
I am just tired of mark gaming after 2 seasons of it
https://www.wowhead.com/news/hunters-nerfed-again-patch-11-2-ptr-class-tuning-377950
@balmy condor wake up they fixed fatebound
Can we not ping the guy 15 times lol I’m sure he knows. He went out to dinner
I think he went out to eat. Quick someone chew his food rq
Yall are crazy
Okay but how about 14
don't like mark
but hate FB more
stop pinging him tho
let the man enjoy his evening
you rogue babies can wait for a few hours
ROGUE CHANGERS AJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
only ping whispyr with feet pics thanks

“Changes” is a loose term haha

It’s more like aura buffs and bug fixes
BROOOOOOOOO
when everyone is getting nerfed, but rogues getting buffed, you know we were cooked
I'll send him my dogs and tell him to get to werk
whispyr come
my dogs are barking rn
ALELUYA
Not familiar with the other class ptr state, did they get the nerf bat?
hype¿
fatebound saved
wrong
fatebound in raid?
You cant play it still lol
Nah it’s playable at least in the sense that it doesn’t just break
DS getting buffed and aoe situations, I doubt its touched at all
One week before the patch whisp gotta suddenly figure out if fb is worth it

THIS TIME
Fr
the cold blood thing would need to be changed i think
oh word
Sentinel, Man with wall and kyvesza’s dad all ST right?
Surely Fatebound is gonna see some play this tier
why do they wait until last week of ptr to fix rogue shit
You’re a boomkin main anyways
after all raid testing is done
Stealth buffs
Learn to live for the excitement
fatebound is kinda cringe and ill be glad it stays dead tbh
execute phase
wonder if they fixed anything with coup
LMAO
Chat how do we play with Fatebound, Ive never even speced into the talents
my boomkin still had its details showing our first stix kill up until i logged in to farm raids on it
i refuse to be a boomkin
yeh mans typing an essay
Im just waiting for him to post his essay
He is typing up a pin
pin for the pookies
maybe i can get him to check my logs from S1?

How long can it take to screencap wowhead and pin smh
Whipsyr
Whispyr
Tell them to fix ret
Please
I can’t
Have Gerald of the sun dead
Patch gonna be bonkers/ broken on day 1 when devs arent even done tuning this close to patch
For all expansion
We are rogues here sir
dont care about ret
I’m not fatebound for rogues
save rogue
Yall can have the shitty dead hero tree
wrong discord bro
Sir this is the Rogue discord.
Fix mine
are you fatebound for anything
I’ll bless u
wait werent herald and templar already kind of close on ptr after the divine hammer nerf though
With light praise
LMAO
@spice surge good job you beat assa with the pin
idk man i saw like one pin one time
Ohh whispyr is
i try to avoid that place
smh
Holy Fu....atebound buffs
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.
POG
Ya that’s the larp we tell people
@balmy condor I owe you feet pics.
Herald is bugged to shit
i cant wait to play fatebound gaming
Fatebound playable
Ty mystr whyspr
@balmy condor i love you im gonna sub to you on twitch
is there any concern about trading DM, which you can control, vs the total rng of FB?
doesnt the 4% then buff DS more
feels like good changes but shame there wasnt more tweaks makes me wonder if midnight is a good rework
Fatebound with tier isn’t actually that much more rng than deathstalker
no major tweaks would happen 5 days before patch
Can’t wait to see the new sim spreadsheet and find where rogue sits now
i mean surely they could be able to play fatebound with an add up
ye waiting for sims
i always enjoyed the possibility of fb
someone explain to me because i never played fatebound why do we use cold blood for fatebound?
whats the reason behind it
Cold blood games the coin flips to let you reach the keystone reliably
Theres a talent in fatebound that makes cold blood better
Literally as simple as that
fatebound+cb=gud
Thanks!
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
there is literally none of that with fatebound
you proc the coin in opener and completely ignore it
the entire fight
it feels like people have no clue how fatebound works lmao
It’s all just in the background you don’t interact with it yeah
Why is blizz doing this, dont they know them youtube streamers already did a class tier list this close to patch like smh
teach me 🙂
Think of the fotm enjoyers
They hear coin toss, they think roll the bones
well tooltip says you can get a chance to get a 15 sec buff or just dmg thew target
well it's not a chance, they're guaranteed
so I assume tghe rotation will be diff when you have the buff?
you either get one or the other, guaranteed
no
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
halleluiah!
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
so you saying i wont have to potentially play deathstalker this season?
it plays itself
I mean it's looking a lot better now
thats great news
just keep raw buffing coin damage until losing damage from extra targets just doesnt matter anymore

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
and then y'all will get a fatebound rundown later this week
deal?
as long as we get more hiya
Very nices changes, would fatebound buff be enough to counter Deathstalker damage profile ? In M+ ? 😄 i guess the futur will tell us
Patch was out for 20 minutes and no sim yet? Hello
Oh shit whispyr sounds positive this must be REALLY good
8/10 ragebait
Patch isnt out, just notes
Sometimes things dont match what they wrote and/or theres undocumented shit ontop of it
by far yes
hi
well it would be nice to change it up a bit
DS doesnt change in cleave? so if fatebound is good then you wouldnt have to play FB
Some bosses require swapping target and it’s really aids with ds
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
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
Oh why does FB loses damage on adds?
mainly these
i think it’s more that it doesn’t really have anything that benefits your aoe
thats also the other half
!macro
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
deathstalker actively helps your cleave
while fatebound actively hurts your prio
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
The rik reverb treatment
Its time for me to play fatebound sin
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is the araz trinket actually getting nerfed or is that just a wishlist?
can someone explain what the cold blood change means? was it bugged before
Its fatebound related
is basically it
Oh my bad were in #assassination 

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
nobody is fortunately
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

ok so good stuff and sub CB is not really functionally different at all?
none of this changes the fact that fatebound insta loses in aoe right
Fatebound loses a lot in aoe yes
sub uses cb the same time they press it so yeah doesnt matter
changes nothing for them
But these buffs seem big so it might do enough damage to tank the loss
in raid that is
would that mean our st is just out of control at that point for fatebound
Relative to deathstalker probably ye
ig blizz really wants someone to pick this hero talent before the xpac ends lol
Theres a lot of target swapping this raid
Hopefully its the last hurrah before they NUKE them all for midnight and give us something not trash.....
yeah thats not happening
fwiw i think they're pretty close to being ok

but then they just have some bigger problems that make them feel terrible
Does the rotation feel more like Sub or Outlaw then? 
is this up on ptr already btw
Sub
No
dang
It's funny as fuck watching people on Acherus, in the Frost channels, talking about how they're happy to have a week to gear rogue
Guess we're in god comp now

How? this doesnt even make us really good
DK Discord is ridiculous
well you see
People are overdramatic as per usual 
rogue got lines that say + in the same note dk got lines that say -
Frost is still going to be absolutely bonkers
#AtrophicIsNOTaRaidBuff
therefore rogue is now better than dk
That’s bonkers

But ye rogue should be good now, i still think people are sleeping on sub
Are people actually that demented that they assume the most recent buff recipient is therefore meta
i already thought sub would be good (in raid) before and now it got buffed
kinda nice
yes
yes
holy we eating good, arent we
Objectively harder spec so people are less inclined to play it too I imagine
I was mostly talking about keys, but ye raid we should be fine either way
Would say its not nearly as hard as people make it out to be. Its just different
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
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?
Honestly excited to see sub in action with thoses buff and fixes
It also just blows in world content haha
yeah i didnt enjoy it in keys but i always pug
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
Yeah exactly
I don’t dislike the playstyle, it just brings more frustrations than assass or outlaw in pugs
is trickster better than DS now
yes
wrong channel
For pure ST ye probably, for anything with adds unsure
hmm
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

Same as last tier 😎

Between FB and DS are there rotionals differences? i saw we play with imp garrote
so you vanish after deathmark i geuss
you do press vanish at one point yes
is FB in disscussion now with the buffs?
Yes
This is the tech I am in this discord for
no your not
only reason why you are in this discord is for this
Sir?
Yes sir
Hmm I wonder if fatebound will be good beyond pure single target though
not likely unless they rework hero talent
sometimes fan of knives gives me two combo points in PURE ST and it isn't CTW, what is causing me to gain two combo points instead of one?
you're critting
Today good day to be yellow


math checks out
Are you sure that's right
math is mathing
Did you do the math correctly
Idk I saw some video thta said 1=0
So might need to double check
link it
Whispyr asmr for bedtime yippie
New emoji unlocked
70s fridge
yeah but it's sad
really hopeing for some fatebound gameplay in raid
im so happi
Is there a happy fridge too?
no
:(
So is fate bound still doa
just need to stay away from adds
tell tanks to pull boss away from adds
but isn't there alot of cleave in raid xD
mine already do that anyway
yeah where's all the people complaining that their raid doesn't stack adds
fatebound is perfect
just play with shitter tanks

Smart
Oh this is me
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
The one with highest number from robot 
the one that lets them stil have a 3 button fashsmash rotation?
@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
yes
Assa rogue maybe best rogue now for raid
as science intended
on at least 1 fight, yes
fb on one fight better than 0 xD
Can I play it on every fight
you specifically yes
No
That's like 12.5% of the fights
Okay I will
No don't do it
If I switch to fatebound, can I also switch to Shadowheart?
The entire game will explode
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
even more if you skip dh boss
math is mathing hard
Was about to say
Do you really mean shadowheart? That talent is unironically useless
wtf stop shitting on shadowheart
and yet Larian says its the most-romanced talent in the game!
2% leech on my ambush on pull
I for one welcome our new Fatebound overlords.
Shadowheart my love
Karlach >>>
Karlach does not give us leech in stealth!
yeah we dont have a talent named karlach
owlbear is the real love of our lives
Another karlach glazer 
❤️
owlbear cub my beloved
this




so who would be happy if you never had to press shiv again except for the soothe effect ?
that sounds awful
why are we trying to remove even more buttons
Literally would have less cooldowns than defensives 
I have a gif just for this occasion
I'd be happy if we just had no combo points and only pressed Envenom
Having the soothe being tied to one of my main damage cooldowns definitely didnt feel good in theatre of pain
Nothing else
Did you kill owlbear on first playtrough be honest

Aoe shiv for enrage affix 
if im in a group where shiv is the only soothe then im in a group that doesnt have a soothe
Isnt Sin the only spec that presses it rotationally 
and its the party leaders fault
well yeah i kill the mom to assert dominance
bully
then steal the baby and make it love me through stockholm syndrome
that gif is going to age like fine dwarven milk
exp is exp
Is fatebound mostly passive, what changes in the gameplay?

nothing, its just standard og sin
you spec into CB and press it in opener
They aren’t taking shiv away from assa.
deleting shiv might as well just rework the spec from scratch
there's nothing left at that point
just make mutilate do everything 5hed
they could replace shiv with a button that buffed bleeds specifically
maybe it could be on a 1m cd
don't you love the new and improved rotation of
1-1-1-2 x20
Templar
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
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%
wait you're right that sounds great
all this talk is making me think of my ex
Give KB a 2nd charge
Does atrophic poison stack in raid with multiple rogues?
Yes
yes
For absolutely no reason too
Multiplicatively
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
fatebound inc 
Hear me out
Assassination with wands
Bro stop
someone yesterday said: poison knifes throwing spec. and your idea is even worse then that
idk i like the idea of ass wands
okay but that sounds almost good
though kinda stupid because you could just make outlaw lose like the last 3 melee abilities they have instead and make them embrace the gun
BLIZZARD REMEMBERED FATEBOUND EXISTS?!?!?
It was a coin toss...
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
yo is fatebond gonna be op? After this?
OP no
lol OP
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?
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
Ty
Bro I want fatebound to be op so bad lol coin tossing fantasy
I don't care about the coins, i just want 1.5min cds. D:
I mean i guess its still awful on cleave 😐
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version

More kb damage and coin damage means more spatter so maybe it’s not quite as bad
I dunno, it still self nerfs itself
and coin damage dosen't count towards spatter right? Or maybe i'm huffing glue.
Coin damage definitely spatters
cosmic damage gaming
What is cosmic damage? Like is it a special type of damage does anything special?
I see it there but never figure it out
It’s arcane/nature I think?
its magical girl rogue powers
Combined damage types now all have their own names
its just a hodgepodge of magic types
Spellfire is arcane/fire, plague is nature/shadow etc
arcane nature and a few others even i think
but since its nature it spatters
op
in the hypothetical scenario of fatebound being worth it does the rotation change much?
I was looking at some reels on youtube and i just saw this picture 
This is PTR btw
like a Week ago
no i don't think so unless there are some major apl changes.
You do play with improve garrote
But that might be changed. was just looking earlier at wowhead
I mean sure, there could be changes from changing your spec tree
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
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!
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
Okayyy atleast we get to play fatebound on 1 fight now
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
I think most fights next tier has adds
The spider thingie you can prob play fatebound at as well. There are no adds there other than the circles that spawns.
I mean its still only 2 or maybe 3 bosses where you could play it lmao
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
Think Dark ranger for BM hunters was -30% in all content this season 
lol
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
Better ST and gets self nerfed in aoe just like assa 

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
like almost every fight?
Yeah but in undermine those adds just died to passive cleave.
99% of them actually.
More buff lets pray
won't in mythic prog
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.
We so back 
fdk is doomed
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
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

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
forgeweaver and soul hunter could be annoying yeah, nexus king shouldnt be an issue
and the other fights you just cleave off boss
nexus king will be an issue
dragon spawns you lose mark
you go to ramp you need to kill adds lose mark
if you struggle that much then dont play it 
i dont think it will be nearly as bad as you make it out to be
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
i will be playing sub probably, i was just saying, no deathstalker doesn't feel great in raid atm
I mean a swap there doesnt sound bad, can just vanish
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
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
possibly, i only tested sub a little for it
Is it a timed thing? The platforms?
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

IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
afaik platform is timed and lines up well for sub, but the amp phase after is hp % based so that timing might get thrown off
but i wasnt able to test that boss so this is just what i watched
wowhead shows the damage loss in those guides above
I mean if you know a phase is coming you can just hold DN
we'll be playing fatebound anyway
Not saying it’s a perfect solution but I mean there’s more than just sending vanish
coin gaming
yes you can, its totally doable. it just doesn't feel good and i don't think deathstalker is great
Deathstalker has pushed me away 
fair lmao
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
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
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.
OBR doesn't use cooldowns either
just deathmark, I think?
ahahahh
laughing at the whole spec rn
Hehe
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?
neither
with current tuning you play fatebound for the pure st and then ask for a discord stream
we'll play fatebound on maybe 2 fights
fatebound is giga omega dogshit the moment there's anything other than 1 target
ahh okay 💀
most fights have moments with more than 1 target
switching for the diff timings seemed so cool to me
Are we Back?!
sub is pretty back idk about assa tho
we are front
Man when I saw the title to your video I was really hoping we saw a change to delivered doom and fate intertwined to help fix that multitarget problem.
80% there
Chat are we happy or still sad?
Honestly if they fixed both of those things it would still just be behind
Fixing those is a good step
But half of deathstalkers tree is deadass just aoe talents
You can’t compete with that
i think we're pretty happy i mean. general buffs + some bug/dumb interaction fixes
This is big for the rogue community
I just like how the top comment on Dratnos video is “wow the devs remembered rogues exist”
Fatebound changes let's go
where we going
to the moon, obviously
actual and factual
Wait the cold blood change is actually a nerf for me standing around with a blue hand in dornogal
hahahahhahahah
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEE
COOLHAND MODE NERFED!
Sounds like a con

what bleeds do we track? newer to sin coming from outlaw
ahahHahahaha
i track bonespike when im dead just to say im still contributing =/
Oh no i've been corrected by GOD himself
the 3 that we've been playing since dragonflight
Im cleave pilled
you're the reason envenom keeps getting a billion buffs every season
Yes and i am happy
Fdk obliterating treatment
I am a simple man, I bleed build
does cold blood make all the kb hits crit?
it doesn't work on kingsbane
why some ppl macroing it to kb
and with fatebound the hero talent explicitly states "only applies to envenom"
the timing
ok i thought so
macroing to kingsbane just guarantees perfect timing every time
missed you
@balmy condor when can we expect video about fatebound and the new PTR changes in general?
:))
Whispyr helping everyone so that ass rogue pump and we cant sandbag it 😦
idk I'm aiming for the weekend
Can’t wait 🙂
The pookies are eating good this week
Double vids of whispyr ? 
dont?
like me
prague will feel so much better knowing i could be playing wow
but i will be in prague
🐐
Being an m+ andy is simply the most enjoyable way to play the game
the slurs are just the cherry on top
Being a m+ andy without mythic raiding guild is misery though
Big Same
Also being an M+ Andy without a Mythic raid guild only sucks when it comes to trinkets.
priory trinket exists tho
I'm not saying it is impossible, I am just saying that's the time when it sucks the most.
Especially if the forge remains ridiculous this patch. At least it is only from boss 4 and not a super-rare marked item.
Fair
Are we meta now after yesterdays changes?
my mom said we are yeah
impossible to know
Gross how dare they make me learn both tree's
there is legit nothing to learn with fatebound
I guess we will probably treat vanish as a 3min cd and play VV on fateboundington
or is that fried
