alright
What’s your mainhand’s ilvl
i have 2 blues, this is a "fresh" char and i did not get weapons on my m0s
can you realistically play fatebound in m+
so 665 and 662 for both weaps
no
smodge
or you definitely shouldn't
Defs craft 675 then it’ll help. If u have gold for it
no one does
hey guys can i make mobs with no bleeeds on plates bigger ? Same question with DST mark
ez fight was never close to crashing out 
gzzz
hell yeah
I should give that a go
I'd probably slave away at the renown degen stuff before I do that boss
60? Not 90?
I was able to get her down as well
nope 60
90 was only because of the extra item levels you could get on the item
That's not here at the start
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
do you always crimson tempest before deathmark even on ST? I saw that on the wowhead opener it doesnt mention crimson tempest for st even though on the rotation/prio it does say to mantain it (bleed build). Thanks!
In the bleed build so M+ you also crimson tempest on ST yes. if you want to do that before deathmark or after is up to you. it does not have a big difference. because CT doesnt do anything for deathmark.
But the important thing to mention here is during deathmark youj get a lot of energy and you want to spam envenoms and not get energy capped
so would u ignore CT on the opener and then apply when deathmark is off and matnatin throughout the fight?
No. if you are on a boss. i put up CT before i go into my deathmark
cool thanks
Because in my deathmark window i just want to spend my energy + combo points on envenoms
and if you don't CT before hand you jgotta CT after deathmark
sounds good, appreciate it
why are we good compared to other classes rn specifically in m+? I see no specific change on sin
huge funnel
anyone know how to get simc to work on mop? works on retail but doesn't rec /simc in chat on mop
!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
Use this to cast cold blood with Kingsbane, which is optimal for Fatebound. The order does not matter, as Cold Blood is only consumed on Envenoms.
#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane
Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
For fatebound is the macro also + vanish?¿ or is the vanish later on?
This is probably a better question for a Mop/classic related discord
But also im pretty sure simc doesnt support old expansions, atleast raidbots doesnt
Ig you could manually grab one of the old branches and run it locally, but idk about that
in my guild in cata we used the wowsims website instead
looks updated for mop
a lot more primitive than raidbots is but it does the job
How many tries
like 50
does this give any power increase rewards ? gz btw
🙁
Hell yeah, amazing job
definitely not a 200 attempt boss

Did you have the outline mode on?
It is for some 
2,000 attempt boss
I always have outline mode on
this boss or not
yeah makes the boss way easier lol
because the clones show a red line around them and have way better visibility.
and way easier to see
you should always have outline on high anyway 
I did. but it didnt work for most people
Outline mode + no AA + graphics 1 have made massacre very easy to handle.
Frustrating 🙁
I relogged, changed them both in base + raids
desiabled anti-ali
even downloaded a weakaura for it
but alas
Hopefully some solution is found 'cos that'll help other people too
it doesnt help that they made the floor also red ish
and the lines are also red
😄
Sire prog all over again
haha, yeah
what build yall running for ?? kyveza
I've had the best luck on Fatebound with raid talents
If you want more execute damage then DS would be better
But damage isn't really the issue on that fight
aite ty
Ye, it's a marathon.
still better than kicking bombs last season
10000%
He really likes going into the portals
Is atrophic or mind numbing the play for ?? Kyveza? The portal damage is environment right? Like the suck dot not stepping in it
I need your help guys.
In my raid group, we distribute loot according to a priority list in which we can specify the items ourselves. Which of the following 3 items should I list with priority 1, 2, and 3? Priority 1 is best.
The 4 items I have to choose between are:
Reinforced Sandals
Ritual Forge
Astral Antenna
Netherprism
I did aptrophic because her melees actually also hurts
well if ur dying to auto damage numbing should be better
Slower melees
cause ur slowing her attackspeed
oh i thought numbing was only cast?
nope
Nah AA's and casts
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
isnt a slower cast worse
attack and cast
then 3% DR?
Probably have to math it out but I imagine more delay between her white hits is potentially better over the course of the fight than them doing 3% less.
Since everything else is a one-shot
Yeah only the aoe damage + melee doesnt one shot you
Yeah it's auto attacks and the dot from the portals as the only damage you can take. I wasn't sure if we had knowers if the portals counted as her dam though
I'm wondering that too
Hell yeah! That's real good, you've got it.
tricks before you vvanish tho it reset on me a few times
Im at about 75% on 30 pulls, but I feel like 675 ilvl is not ideal lol
i did it at 681
Ok so it's doable I just have to do better
What i would advise: feint + 1 defensive on portal
and if you see potions on the ground just use feint and walk over them with sprint
without using a defensive
ive had good luck going far and staying moving for dashes
thats hardest part for me
i have preheat line WA too helps a bit
Also what helped me also was stop dpsing when you look at the clone
Just gotta play consistent and clean for the entire 8 - 10 minutes. Which is what I'm struggling with, haha
Seconding this. It's really good and you are in a marathon, so it's not a big loss. You've got time.
im gonna do a quick run with atrophic and die on the ports then a mind numbing the same to see if the port dot is reduced at all from atrophic
hell yeah science
it does look like atrophic affects portal dot. I got 471,603 ticks without and 454,344 with. double checked the math and it is 3.6% less
Hey guys, the guide only talks about spreading rupture outside of IC. I suppose it is for SoB. Does it mean it's not worth spreading garotte outside of IC ?
You can but it's slow and not worth at all. Just garrote the main target if you need energy, otherwise don't.
Poisons the target with a mentally crippling poison, reducing casting speed by 50% for 12 sec. In the NPC Abilities category. A spell from World of Warcraft.

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
since when?
the patch before this one
didnt even notice
What nameplates is everyone using?
as a horrific visions enjoyer - saved me time from getting food from AI mages
is there a way to get around death mark not working properly during darkest night?
what do you recommend for the first spark ?
if you can feasibly get ahold of gilded crests next week i suggest you craft a weapon wityh it
Do we play around serrated bones outside opener ?
? ofc you play amplifying
i copied the build from wowhead for M+
i think they were meaning the m+ build
oh ye, bleed build plays only 1 poison
Wait yeah, I jsut joined this convo but also just copied wowhead. Is the current m+ build wrong?
no
no
there's a whole video whispyr made on why bleeds are better than the hybrid build now
i'll watch it now thanks
yeah it's a lot of maths i don't quite remember the specifics on
I would have thought a bleed build woul use aterial precision
it does if you took the m+ one on wowhead
you are on 11.1 or some season 2 version of wowhead
Wait wasn't there supposed to be a new whispyr video out today or am I tripping?
the new season suggested builds has fatebound for the raid single target
I'm not, it says season 3 right above it
Imma get in bed w the homies to watch it
Did they change the refresh timing of rupture/garrotte since S1 ? I remember we needed to refresh at less than 6sec but my platter shows values of 4x secs now.
No, its always been 30% of duration of the dot you are refreshing
well if you think about it. whispyr is NA and currently it's EU time. in the evening. it's morning for him now. and he doesnt really go to bed early also. so he is probaly still sleeping
See you soon
Already saved a spot for you <3
The single target also doesnt have cold blood. I think the quick import buttons are just wrong
Let me check
this is the current season 3 m+ build
for me it does
idk what's up with your wowhead, but it is not on the current info
yeah as soon as deathstalker was the single target build in your screenshot, I knew it was on your end
guys, I need some help, is there a WA for Rupture and Garrote to track the number of DoTs? Or what do you guys use?
Yo guys, one question related to the raid ST Fatebound build - can we macro kingsbane and cold blood?
Using whispyr WA

I just made my own to track rupture + garrote. i dont look at how many targets. i just look at the pull and dot according to that
this is also updated for me
I see where you are now. click the talent build part on the tabs to the left instead of the overview
Weird. I guess it doesn't matter so long as I have the right ones in the end
Sup guys, im coming back to rogue after ive played it in season 1 tww, is assa still looking to be the best spec for m+? And is rotation much different since then?
Guess I need to learn how to play fatebound now. I don't even know what the talents do
the overview does look outdated, but the actual talent build section is correct
Is there as well a list where to play which build? Some are ST but need some cleave for example second boss with the thingis to cleave - confuses me a bit tbh 😄
i use a WA to track how many garrotes and ruptures i have on in any pull 🙂 like this. itll say 2/5 etc
Nice, can you share it pls?
ye ill DM you
If you talk about raid encounters, yes. there is
if you go into the season 3 overview, the talents are not up to date there. took me some searching to find how Balrund got there
can you send me a link
im curious
oph i found it yes
yeah
will let whispyr know
Yes, thats what im talking about - is it as well on wowhead linked 🙂 ?
No its not out yet.
soon TM
wait so are are we playing the s3 build or s2 build from wowhead
Depends what encounter
is the KB build for m+ the right one for this season?
You play the bleed build
!builds
Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:
- If you have to ask, you should play bleed
- If you're not doing +20's or higher, you should play bleed
- Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
- No, Fatebound is not good, you play Deathstalker in every key.
Some general concepts as to why people play different things:
- 11.2/Season 3: Bleed has gotten stronger through some buffs and the single target damage you get from singular focus is ridiculously good with the tier set. During PTR testing many high end rogues were just playing bleed everywhere.
- Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
- Boss damage: The cleave build is mainly for boss damage (note: not prio, there is no significant difference in prio). Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and some bosses during season 2 were not possible on high keys otherwise. It remains to be seen what push keys in Season 3 will bring in that regard.
- Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal. Rookery is not in the rotation in Season 3, and there are a lot of AoE dungeons. Dawnbreaker might be a candidate, but unsure currently.
- Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead outside of low target cleave and higher target AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage. At the end of the day, the builds are extremely similar, but Bleed is looking to simply be the best.
Thx for the info mate!
ok so last seasons bleed build
how much is a good ammount of crit % ?
sim yourself
just follow the robot
but if you want to know im sitting at 34% atm
and how much mastery on top of that 34 % crit?
sure, i understand, thank you
Sup guys, im coming back to rogue after ive played it in season 1 tww, is assa still looking to be the best spec for m+? And is rotation much different since then?
I dont know how it was in season 1. but it's the same in season 2.
and depends on the dungeon. the new tavahesh dungeon & dawnbreaker sub is better
is there bis trinket list sheet? like prev seoson?

So learning fatebound, I see we vanish after kingsbane. Is it immediatelyt after or...?
you want one of your 2 cold blood empowered envenoms to be from stealth (vanish) after kingsbane and cold blood macro. doing your first envenom after is probably easiest imo
Hi. Is this your number of nearby Garrote/Ruptures tracker? https://wago.io/2S0Eyvf5N

guys, is the best crafting order still -> dagger with embelishment and then bracers with embelishment?
Wich delve we have to do for the DISC belt?
ANY delve would work
I'm pretty sure that's the wow head recommendation, and that's what I did
Someone mentioned only if you farm the gilded crests to upgrade it tho
but wich power we need for our disc belt
It's the one in the spider zone at the top
I can't remember the name, but it has the puppet master
Spiral weave
fatebound the play for st?
Pure ST yeah
yes
Even if you don't, it's good
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/talent-builds-pve-dps
does anyone know of the cleave build is competitive in high mythic keys 17-19+ or is it primarily the hybrid build?
On ptr people were playing bleed at all levels
Hmm I see, sweet okay thank you.
You can play it, you’ll do better st and worse aoe than the other builds
It’s meant for high keys where boss damage is a roadblock / sins other builds have pretty bad boss dmg
just wanted to share with my fellow assa enjoyers
@haughty flicker i found you
What is the ratio of mastery crit haste I need?
Deathstalker or fatebound ? gratz on the kill
Im witnessing 👀
deathstalker, ty ty
!up
Whatever sims better for your character
Better start sandbagging m+ shits gunna get nerfed
casual out here doing 20m overall in floodgate before big momma lol
you know overall goes down over the course of the dungeon right?
i'm not the one calling people names
haha he spiked 65mil on momma
it can only go up for me
My overall goes up during the course of a dungeon (I died on first pull)
lol
shit was wild
😎
Turns out funnel is very good
wait who
casualaddict on ptr
Is this in a ptr key or on live
ofc 
Oh ptr disgusting lol
yeah
thats disgusting
shits wild
Hi one question, can I sim a full crafted 675 tier set somehow? Like comparing it against my own set of gear
yes, top gear has a search box
Stat squish soon™
There’s a menu at the top of “top gear” where you can add each piece
Nice thanks
tbh im excited to play rogue in m+ this season
hey, is it big difference if sending on fatebound st after using big cds>vanish>(ambush) instead of mut?
rolled a dk alt just in case though
lol
yeah sorry i am having too many conversations lol
id say probably not
and if it is probably not enough to notice the difference
i have a bad habit of pressing ambush all the time because i only played deathstalker, and now its mutilate after vanish on fb therefore i asked myself of how big the punishment is for pressing ambush
Like most things on this spec im gonna assume its on the minor end
how much yal simmin rn?
i'm like 3.4 in fatebound
i like
no idea havent simmed myself lol
1 less keybind
Spec is op in M+ until you put it in raw ST with nothing to funnel off of
true but i think most people will perform better with bleed
Even with bleed
Thats just sin in a nutshell in M+
Do crap raw ST, with funnel do lots of st and aoe
Big stonks
when playing bleed, on 1st pull floodgate, did he put rup on evry mob?
i sim 3.2M with fatebound atm
0
probably just to get the buff from 5 maybe one more rupture but you want to get CT out and cds
aight thx a lot


What a gamer
Is that portuguese blood I tell you

some who did kyveza (??) can share talent string?

I used the fatebound st from wowhead
doable with lvl 53 bran?
should be
prob, brann is just there to throw pots
just use defensives during the succ and dont get one shot by mechanics
okay ill attempt thaaanks
CMQAA0tw2gAD7pPTLoW5IGZDeMjZmhxM2mBAAAAAgZDWmBAAAAAg2WmZGMzYMzMLz2MzMmBDzMzYmNbjZA2MLDMglglhJwwCA my brann was also lvl61

@balmy condor our sim has execute rige
does the ara kara sacbrood trinket not sim properly? even at 691 ilvl raidbots says its about equal with a 671 signet of the priory. d slice. seems weird
Of course
That seems correct
Ok
Sacbrood got nerfed
ah. good to know. thank you.
my sac ain't what it used to be
Outlaw diff
Outlaw is for chumps
Dont be a chump
What is the stats priority? How more important is crit and mastery than haste?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
- Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
@midnight mist handle my lightweight
Ngl tho outlaw hasnt been the same since haste scaling

You and what burst
Ty
1v1 me karesh delve speedrun lil bro
We boutta do a triathlon, delve, pet battle, world boss
i cant help but notice
It’s gonna get freaky
Ill let her solo you
Hmmmmm
Left shark ain’t gotta even raise a flipper to smack yo ass
16 in a row
Without mana pots
Unfortunately for you I have the single most powerful spell to ever exist
@solar wyvern you couldve won 1 million if you used 1 dollar flips
I want you to undestand that
frigg
What is this KB bug I keep hearing about
Gamba gamba
I cannot feel disgust
For i have been doing fatebound ptr keys
so i am already disgusting
The duration of kb’s buff with the extension from fb 2 pc is fucked
Fatebound is better anyway aoe
So the duration sometimes dont increase
Just hit tails 42 times in a row
Incredible
Per pack
the stacking buff duration isnt increased
No, the duration of the stacks just drop
so midway through your kb you just drop all your stacks
Wait
Damage loss ig
So you just get like 2 extra ticks of a KB that has no damage buff
New to assa how does it look
Where the fuck is spatter
Whats that

Im new new
Would suggest a guide then
Thats world boss
That’s fine
Should still be seeing spatter
If CT is that high then there’s plenty of aoe
And if there’s aoe, there’s spatter
what build are you running that has ct but not spatter
Maybe he is running internal

also this guy doesnt know to go down during intermission and hit the world boss in phase diving, everyone laugh at him

This one
When the heavens open up for us all and we are beckoned into his eternal realm you shall be denied
You really wanna read this one
^ that green shit is your main aoe not named “crimson tempest”
Very big aoe talent
deadly poison?
If target count is >1 it will be doing a large chunk of your overall
Bel is dragging you to hell with him
Nah "Ätzender Spritzer" is obv the aswer
Other than that how does it look
Poison bomb obviously
Looks okay enough
Idk what the breakdown of the world boss should be
But seems fine
Okay thanks
dont let whispyr talk down to you, ib is important and some would say above average!!!!
And it’s a world boss so idk
I started yestarday and its quite different from outlaw but its ton of fun
Also is the build good or i should focus on something else
I just copied this one for delves and keys
Yep that’s just standard bleed
bleed build is op
hide it
told them to close streams
stop using details!
@keen mantle need you to start sandbagging my dude
Oh goodie more random ptr details screenshots

My favorite
Cant wait for people to just blindly paste that repeatedly
Sin! OP
Can i see the damage breakdown
I heard it here!
good idea, sent to the priest and mage discords ASAP
Thank yoy
spriest needs buffs, you right
ok singular focus being higher than envenom does go insanely hard though
Triple dipping 
psychic link buff on the way
the tier set doubling it makes it wildly good tho
Me when the talent says 5% but the whitelists are fucked and you press shiv and it ends up being closer to 17%
I actually greatly appreciate Whispyrs ability to make anything at least seem a little bad. He will never let our heads and egos get too big and that is the bastion of truth we all need.
Its called just being realistic
Realistic is realizing that PTR data is not useful and just generates views
My ability is in not giga glazing every little thing whenever anything happens
I’m not actually all that negative
Whispyr is based
PTR data is not useful lol?
But when the internet is nothing but infinite glaze and CLICK THIS LOOK HERE GIGA DAM MOST OP
Correct PTR data is not useful for current version of the game
It’s kinda difficult for me to see positive
Cause I’m not out here doing fucking backflips every time someone posts a details

Its like a daily discussion everytime people talk about PTR data 
14 mil overall is some shit
If me not getting excited over the same ptr shit we’ve seen for months makes me seem negative then my bad I guess

Anybody know if the caustic damage from mobs funnels into your dm target from singular focus?
But if that’s the case then maybe I don’t want to be positive
Yes it does
Its almost as if the PTR isnt always a reflection of what is or is intended to be the final product of the game

It is tho
No it isn’t lmao

Especially rn
Its testing

Ptr is by definition unfinished
Are you baiting
Brother, to make some blanket statement that “PTR data is useless” is the most absurd thing of all time.
this is bait
Show me all that useful raid testing data then
Its delusional to think data from a testing realm is useful

What data is useful
to blizzard maybe
To us
The bosses mechanics
As the players
The set tier bonus %
and as it gets closer to next raid
The actual numbers

Classes are locked during rwf
Both of the last 2 are subject to change
Where do sims come from? Where do boss starts come from? Where do we figure out which mobs we want to prio in dungeons, where do we find out how to farm rep? There are a million things on PTR that are useful
Baseless claim
bro, why we using garf at the end of every point made like it's a mic drop
How the new transmog looks like 
Just because you get annoyed at people posting a probably inflated details log doesn’t make all of ptr useless lmao

Everything you just listed is stuff that can be found in real time and can be changed by tuning at any point during testing
Yes it can be changed but when its changed… its new data
Now this is the big one
What? Everything you do on live can be changed at any point too haha
Does this macro work btw?:
/cast Shadowmeld
/cast Stealth```
Constantly pressing meld and not pressing stealth fast enough to actually benefit from it
The actual important oen
Having a linear view of testing is the fault of the entire argument
Factually inaccurate
I mean, all of those things you mentioned were so shit this ptr that I had to pull a triple all nighter in one week to get sims and guides done because it was so poorly tuned that I couldn’t make any concrete theorycrafting from them
Almost as if its testing
They’ve changed so much shit
But closer to raid its basically concrete
And being reliant on incomplete info is not helpful
We might get one more change before tuesday
Holy shit dude if all the testing data is pointless why do they test? It’s like your brain is broken lol
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Im not the one living in delusion?
Test phases dont change very rapidly the closer we get to goal time
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
They tell us to play PTR and test stuff but the objective truth of it is that a lot of things still dont get fixed
Even after testing and numerous bug reports
because they need players to go in and bug report and find broken interactions that they can fix
So it solidifies the point that not alot of stuff changes
public TEST realm
The PTR at this point is to feed the communities insatiable brainrot
Kb duration bug will surely get fixed next reset
I think ptr just widens the gap between skill levels

And addiction to any sort of information regardless of its credibility
Having so much time to practice is insane
honestly if people like vram are indicitive of how the community treats PTR, they probably just need to get rid of it entirely
Yes they should really
Especially since the PTRs have become increasingly buggy and live patches become increasingly buggy
sepulcher was a banger raid
Not for rwf
Cool
who cares
the game shouldn't be designed around 200 people
A small portion of the playerbase
im not one of 60 people who do
Do you think rwf is some random thing
Its world of warcrafts biggest pull in new traction for game
source?
Its insanely important
Its incredibly stupid to design around the top players in any game
And scripe and max have both said this
That blizzard needs to stop balancing the raid around them
max mentioned, opinion invalidated
not a single one of my non-wow friends gives a shit about RWF
Max relevant to the topic
Bait rejected
they open it up, see splits, go "wtf" and close it
Splits are horrible for it i agree
they open it up, see a fight they don't understand and another 50% wipe and go "wtf" and close it
Heroic should be open week 1

that's how normal people interact with RWF
Correct but not the top 100 people which was their point
And its extremely delusional to think that is the way to do it
but they will watch kids 360 noscope people in cod lol
if they're cod players, yes
lol true
Nobody said balance purely around them but if ptr didnt exist blizzard wouldnt know how to balance a raid
the entire argument was that's it's new traction for the game
yeah sorry came in late thats mb
and that simply can't be true because the vast majority of new players doesn't have a fucking clue what's going on 
screen full of weakauras
Very true
there's tuning during every rwf so that kinda falls apart
"yeah this is great content"
@runic hinge yea because whoever is on balance team sucks
Before playing wow, this is exactly how I felt
Wow players will hold onto anything that doesnt dispell their idea that the PTR realm isnt micky mouse house
Its a character trait
Dunno but weak auras, strats, bis , ext ect all come from the data ptr gives
i mean, yeah, ptr exists and they still cant balance, so your argument for ptr being needed for balancing the raid kinda falls apart
@runic hinge if it didnt exist it would be 10x worse
Weakauras need to go
I'm gonna do rank 1 world m+ keys on closed beta of midnight since its so meaningful
Still needed, it would just be in an even worse state without it
So true bestie 
why is wowhead writer getting early access he's gonna be so far ahead when the game launches from all those closed beta keys he ran

Maybe balance would be better than it is after having a bunch of degens running keys in bis gear
Would balancing be better or worse without PTR? It’s the same as anything in the world. You practice / test things to improve on them. Acting like PTR is useless is complete mental ineptitude. Could it be better? Yes. Is it limited? Yes. Is it completely “useless” no. If you actually believe that you are brain dead.
The practice is real you dont understand
You are living in micky mouse house brother
Idk what to tell you
You may be autistic if you disagree with this
Ok so how would you make the ENTIRE basis of new content then @thorn thorn
yeah practice is super important, that's why JPC got turbo boosted 2.5 months into a season after having not played any of the dungeons and started doing like top 10 keys with yoda

The amount of shit we pull from ptr to live is immense
Id love you to just come out and say it - “the game would be better without PTR on release” with a straight face.
Without the involvement of the wow community because its fill of fucking idiots
@thorn thorn ok so who does it
The game would be better without PTR on release
at least on the class tuning side of it, the amount of shit we pull from PTR to live is immense and also 95% wrong
Pretty easy actually
Easy ?
Pretty sure they blind balance as it is
Even wrong data is somewhat helpful
We balance how many classes how many specs and how many hero talents
And now - you’re just simply brain dead.
Btw
They are already going to be doing it based on live data
that's simply untrue
It's simply true. It is a basis of comparison. Right or wrong
RIGHT
and a class is 20% ahead
For 1 week
Then they nerf it
Someone else finds ANOTHER spec 30% ahead
They nerf it
a basis of comparison requires that you have a basis itself
Thats how live without ptr would ve
You say this as if it would be like dominos and the over performing specs wouldnt instantly stand out
you can't compare two equally awful incorrect things and then go "look data"
that's not how statistics work
The release candidate is the basis.
@thorn thorn they fucking would
Yes. Even if the basis is wrong. You have something to check for at release. Go into it blind you will miss more things. Wrong data is still useful data
Red flag for attacking the opponent not the argument
You think simc is like some old machine
bro shut up I'm not even talking to you
Correct thats my point

what are we "missing" here
Its not like they are going to be like "oh this one is over performing" and next week "oh this one is over performing too oops"
They would find the ones shooting far above the marker instantly
like what do you think falls through the cracks

if there's no PTR
@thorn thorn you sure ? When fotm exists without testing thats exactly what would happen
And how would you learn your new rotation
kyveza sucks as rogue man
How would you learn new talents new specs new classes
i need the title
I would learn them on live like a normal person
Bugs, improper interactions, numbers not actually changing, shadow changes that always seem to happen
Fotm happens because of testing but it would make the problem 10x worse without it
we already know all of that without PTR
Patches that massively alter the current game state would be forced to happen during the raid
It’s so obvious logically that is painful people don’t see it. People complain that the PTR is bad when released. Then they also argue that we shouldn’t do a PTR to fix things. Why? So we they release a live version of the game like PTR when it first came up. Like come on.
And that by definition is the dumbest thing to want
The severity of the problem does not discount its existence at all
Just because its going to be worse without testing doesnt make it less bad
Its still a problem
Raid bosses would be released either tuned horrible low or high
By a wide margin
Which would need to be patched again
clearly the patch releases in a fucked state regardless of PTR
Which would be an opportunity for PTR to actually be useful data if they actually responded to feedback given
But they dont always
Like how many fucking patches you want per day
the PTR released with nothing testable
Because a lot of shit slips through the cracks
@thorn thorn they dont always but they still do
There are specs with bugs from TWW PTR that have existed the entire xpac
is realz still the dev for both rogue and dh
Reported every PTR cycle
that's not a fucking thing
And still arent fixed
Massive changes every week
Don't argue with the chronically online discord mods. All logic evades them.
Imagine that during eaid
what is the best build mm+ ?
good one
you got me
Red flag for attacking the opponent not the argument

Say something useful next time
Downtime would be massive and hotfixes would come through like water
as opposed to now where that's not true, or what
woosh? 
It would WORSEN THE PROBLEM
like what dont yall get
Ptr might not be perfect but it does the job its meant to do
Does it?
it would worsen the problem if they had no idea what was wrong
Like arguing against that is literally unthinkable
Which is the only point I will give you
@balmy condor and how would they know without testing
It does indeed do its job enough in terms of testing
you are
@midnight mist they want to remove ptr
ty
you are zac
HAHAAH
do you think KB bug is so blind that they need a PTR for that
No need for PTR - the data is 100% useless. We gain nothing from ptr.
this discord would be better without ptr
So true bestie
there are clearly obvious bugs, you don't need people testing that
I think we can all agree on this one
Yes
Bugs are a coding issue from the sphagetti they made the game with
That much is apparent
ofc
ptr is prolly my favorite part of wow no cap
Meanwhile, in the Sub thread
thats the only time you go blind
and test things
yourself
like in raid or m+
so cool !
you get to feel like a world first raider
holy shmoke !
The community as a whole would improve without PTR

at the end of the day, yes removing PTR would be more chaos and smaller things fall through, but there's so many things that are so painfully obviously wrong that don't get fixed even with people reporting it for actually years, how long have we bitched about deathstalker mark+darkest night being fucked
no ptr would be hell for people that like to reroll every season
the major bugs that don't get fixed
still wouldn't get fixed
you don't need people testing that a tier set simply doesn't function
Dont we have a rogue dev in here
there is no such thing as "rogue dev"
Boomie bugs get fixed instantly
Yall need to make twitters im saying
And bitch like boomie
BLB
NEW WOW PHRASE
BLB
are there any major rogue bugs that affect damage this season
bf is capped at 7
As I’ve been saying from the start that for some reason was controversial, PTR is useful but flawed.
why did my shit caps
you used #
that's not a bug that's "interesting" gameplay
@rain mortar their thoughts are wow is better without ptr
Not that its better to have it then not even if flawed
Specifically my thoughts were the community would improve without it
Cuz the community as a majority is dumb as fuck and doesnt understand how to parse the info on the PTR or what it even means
What you guys think, we only use council talents on the demon hunters or any other boss?
And its evident when people post details from PTR and people are like "omg sandbag its so op we cant let blizzard know"
If its doing that much on ptr its not a secret, they already know
nop, CT only for the council
ty ❤️
so theres really no big rotation changes with fatebound for raid right
Well specifically your comments were that PTR data is completely useless in all cases lmao
Im struggling to learn opener on cleave/council talents. The opener guide for multi target is with IC right? Manual bleeds on 3 targets takes ages
And it will always be that way because there will always be a lack of understanding on the PTR
And it will always be a headache to deal with
you just hit one target for the most part, spread rupture by hand, and CT
it's basically the same
When do i rupture other targets? after mark/kb or before?
We have had worse
And might actually see worse
Is there such macro to shadowstep to ur focus target and also kick it? and not shadowstep if target in kick range already
Not possible afaik
Conditional macros arent a thing nowadays
before, after, during
what, today? people can top my stupidness?
you don't need to babysit your KB that bad
The best you could do is set a macro that casts step and kicks
We have no idea what the future holds
i will top it myself
But the answer is yes there was worse
There is a certain unnamed individual that was dumb enough for whispyr to block

#showtooltip
/cast [target=focus] Shadowstep
/cast [target=focus] Kick
You just have to press
It twice
no
there are 3 people in this discord I have blocked
one I believe just doesn't play anymore
the other only shows up once a patch to post stupid shit
So far I have just the 1
!up
ty
and then the guy from earlier
How';s assassination aoe and funnel?

Mine is also the guy from earlier
very good

I don't really like blocking people
But pure st is dogshit with the m+ build, right?
I dont either cuz I like to talk shit
I'd rather passionately yell at people and try and understand where they're coming from
like vram is chill most of the time
So basically you must pull into boss if you want sin rogue to deal decent st
I don't mind the guy
I wouldn't block him over some petty PTR difference of opinion
as heated as it may get
but some people wear me down over long periods of time
yes
I make an effort to bait any yellow name that comes in here
Except zac
zac is cool
Who are we taking about here by the way?
You’re cool too even though sometimes we all get a little grumps
I agree with basically anything zac says so no
His plate is already full
I am compelled to say that legit 80% of the shit I say is pure nonsense and you can just assume im posting nonsense
lads
there is only me and a woman here at the gym
do i kidnap her and stockholm her into my gf
quick tuck your tail between your legs
If a silver alert goes out im calling the authorities
I also hate caustic splatter, only working with mutilate is annoying
were not even in the same country, and we dont use those alerts most of the time
When I manually rupture targets should I use max combo points or just as few as possible?
This seems to imply you live in a country where it would be legal

What is the talent that gives me max combo points when I use rupture on a target without dots or something. I cant find it 
What poisons to use as rogue TWW s3, bleed build
Its bonespike but its only full in aoe
Mythic +
Assa power
