github exists too, but i would need to put more bugs onto it

#

some new ones

#

but i don't think any class is less buggy

#

the game is just too complex

#

and inherently, the bugs which matter are the ones that break gameplay

#

so to give some more concrete examples, if you look at the list in the pins

#

the bug around the 4pc fatebound is such a case

#

because it leads to bad player feedback, desync etc

#

for subtlety, you could say the bug around refund delays is on the same level

#

basically, subtlety gets cp refunds and there is always a certain delay on them, sometimes its long too

#

does still not sound that bad i guess, the problem is coup de grace causes a 1.2 sec gcd

#

so any delay you add on top during your cooldowns just adds up and you quickly lose one entire cast during your cooldowns

#

the delay makes it also so you feel bad if you send the wrong spell because it was delayed

#

anything gameplay impacting is what should be prioritized with fixes

#

everything else, is more a tuning thing

#

and while, some things can have bigger impact on dps, you can also mitgate it with buffs/nerfs

#

rogue bugged shut down the discord angery

vestal wren
#

haha

rotund oak
#

just play mage

#

or hunter

#

rogue deadge

vestal wren
#

warrior is a good example of somehting where bugfixes also introduce changes

#

they ended up being massive buffs all around and dramatically alter the relative performance

rotund oak
#

yup

#

and the good part about being a war is

#

u can surgically remove your brain and still perform

vestal wren
#

i don't know the entire story about BM/hunters

#

but why/how did they figure out that they perform massively better when switching hero talent?

#

Speaking on bugs, I can’t wait for the next expansion with them adding more hero stuff, buggy nightmare

vestal wren
#

it feels like they don't add that much

severe meadow
#

Possibly good then

#

I try not to complain about bugs too much, just wish they did a little more testing. Set desyncing feels like one they’d catch quick

#

I played sub for the first time last night during prog, not up to date on their bugs tbh

vestal wren
#

I think many of the bugs

#

are known but not fixed because of the effort involved with every bug fix

#

we just talked above (or well i voiced my opinion) how the important bugs to fix are the ones making the gameplay experience worse

severe meadow
#

Yeah, the desync isn’t game breaking, it’s just annoying at times

red schooner
#

And then I die inside a little bit

severe meadow
#

Yeah that’s a little different

#

I really feel like I don’t get that side of the bug often

red schooner
#

It happened twice in a row on fractilus

#

And I was so tempted to feign a DC

severe meadow
#

As we’re progging Fract garf

I’m just not a fan of WA fights

I literally took a break during prog because of Ovi

#

And came back during the duo and queen

weary stump
#

He didn't like that idea garf

#

We had a bug on Araz last night where we phased the 1st pylon set almost instantly and he went into damage amp xd

weary stump
#

God bless blizzard

severe meadow
#

Couldn’t replicate it

#

But he phased and pylons were at like 70ish%

Is there any talent we can forgo to take Iron WIre, I loved that talent when I played assa back in the day so much, especially for pug m+ groups

iron karma
#

Wait, do these 2 passives make evasion a -40% taken from magic?

spice surge
#

Yesnt, theyre multiplicative

#

So its 36%

iron karma
#

and you can add +40% (DRed) from feint?

#

So you literally cant die from any magical aoe

spice surge
#

Yes

#

If the spell is considered aoe feint reduces it by 40%

#

and if you spec elusiveness it reduces non-aoe by 20% (but still only 40% for aoe)

iron karma
#

And if incoming spell is magical aoe then you do evasion with bait and switch + feint and these all stack?

#

I know i can check on notevenclose but im lazy ass

spice surge
#

Yes

#

0.6 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.384 so you would take ~61.5% less damage

sometimes i rupture if im in an energy valley between cd's

but usually

#

Tangles are cursed because they spawn every 45-50 seconds exactly into your Kingsbane Window.

red schooner
#

Are people having tangle issues at this point in the patch though? Like, they die pretty quick

coral ibex
#

yes i am doing less than tank damage on the tangles, no i will not swap

red schooner
#

Just, have your classes that CAN deal with them do their job

cunning needle
zenith elm
#

It was annoying

cunning needle
#

well you see

#

when you get more gear

zenith elm

Bc ppl are dumb

cunning needle

you think "this isnt my problem anymore"

coral ibex
#

tangle damage last week

amber swan
#

by tangles do we mean the adds for loomithar?

cunning needle

yeah loomi is acutally an add fight

Oh I dont hit them unless they get close...they move in too fast for my little rogue legs and I have attrocious movement with my old hands

cunning needle
#

im nice to leaves. usually

red schooner
#

Fim, start a fight with draco, this is your time

cunning needle
zenith elm
#

Yeah fight

cunning needle
#

just gotat make a slightly stupid comment

#

and he'll be out for blood

#

its too easy

#

but he knows i'd be baiting

zenith elm
#

And he'd still take the bait

red schooner
#

I just did my normal play of hard swap for a few pulls early on, show the RL my damage and then get told to just hit boss

#

And all is well

cunning needle
#

yeah i dunno ranged just do your job and swap

#

smh melee always having to do the mechanics

#

kek that'd be a good bait

golden loom
#

I am in a pug atm and the tangles are getting 1 shot

#

and I just vengeful retreated into web and died garf

cunning needle
#

average DH play

red schooner
#

Yeah you're playing dh right

#

Good job

#

Now you just need to wipe your raid by pressing the hunt

pliant remnant
humble verge
red schooner
#

But yeah if its an add that needs to be all hard swapping to kill it or we die then sure, I'll swap and do the thing

#

But the tangles ain't that

#

If my add swap damage is the difference between us dying and us not dying then something has gone horrendously fucking wrong somewhere down the line kekdog

Hmm lily and prism for might be good no?
We like mastery in m+

using lilly + hero antenna, but tested a normal prism last night and did almost 1.5 mil more overall for the same key

why not araz forge in M+, is it not preferred?

chilly sluice
#

Anyone else having an issue where you envenom, get combo points from the coins and it then envenoms again without you pressing it?

iron carbon
#

Did you spam it? Might be still in queue

chilly sluice
#

Im guessing it's from spell queuing and I've just double pressed envelope

iron carbon
#

But it looks fucking weird

#

Don't forget the timbre

#

After pressing the envelope

chilly sluice
#

So i should single press envelope before mailing it?

main bridge
#

Don’t forget the stamp

chilly sluice

Ahh maybe that's the issue

this is just an alt and I won't be getting reshi boots

main bridge

Probably not. You should try to get the reshi boots even if you pug

lethal lynx

I remember back in DF boots were actually good to craft but idk if that changed

main bridge
#

Doesn’t your guild do alt runs?

lethal lynx
#

You guys have guilds?

main bridge
#

Yes. This game sucks without friends

lethal lynx
#

I don't raid at all outside of the one clear for aotc at some point in the season

#

Yeah I play m+ with my buddies

#

It's why I'm not very happy about those boots' existence

main bridge
#

Well if you want to get some raid gear it’s probably worth joining a guild

#

There is a recruitment discord

#

Otherwise neck, rings, wrist are good slots. Sim to figure out what works best for you

I had a choice between those HC boots or myth helm last week

#

And I ain't changing my boots for the rest of the season

Yeah they’re so good. Big passive damage

hey what's the mecanic that refunds energy on ruptured mobs dying ? is it a talent ?

main bridge

yeah I know the boots are good I'm just likely not going to get them

Which belt are you looking for?

came up then

Though it worked on harvested for me so I dunno

is it bad to craft a ring

red schooner

We don't have dates for 11.2.5 yet

glad tusk
#

^ is why i wanted to craft a ring

dawn seal
#

do we ignore loom ithar

#

tangles

red schooner
#

As a rule of thumb, yes, but if your damage is going to be the difference between killing them or not, just hit them.

#

If sin rogue add swap damage is the make or break factor for the tangles though, something else has gone disastrously wrong before that point.

zenith elm
#

difference being like 1 percent lol

#

if you do need to do that

#

play sub

main bridge
#

if you're at that point it almost certainly means at least one ranged is ignoring them

red schooner
#

Like, hit them if you absolutely need to because a dead boss is better than a not dead boss.

red schooner
#

But, you shouldn't need to.

zenith elm
#

5 ranged are enough for tangles

red schooner
#

But I'd rather fuck my overall damage and have a boss kill than just tunnel boss and die to tangles

#

Though, it abso-fucking-lutely shouldn't be needed.

ancient ingot
#

finally, Is it fine 750000g for this ?)

red schooner
#

Are you flush with gold? Then maybe. For me it'd be a hell fucking no.

ancient ingot
#

now i have 30000 ahahah

red schooner
spice surge
#

Make sure youre not importing your character via the armory thing

#

It puts the default power on the delve belt

spice surge
#

Use /simc

red schooner
#

When you went to topgear, did you use the simc addon?

#

Or did you use the armory?

spice surge
#

Not the armory function on raidbots

#

Or make sure to edit the belt power manually by pressing the + on it

ancient ingot
red schooner
#

Okay you're good then

ancient ingot
#

well, is it dangerous getting gold from hmm rmt?

rotund oak
#

always

ancient ingot
#

idk where i can find a lot of money in this game

coral ibex
#

press esc and click shop

#

buy a wow token

red schooner
#

Buying a token, because buying gold from external sources can get you banned.

analog field
#

also 2 tokens for belt is surely not worth it

red schooner

#

buy your tokens and buy that belt

#

for 750k

analog field
#

I mean at the end of the day it is personal

#

but yeah for sure not worth

coral ibex
#

if it isn't clear why spending more gold than you've ever had on your account for less than 1% damage increase is a bad idea, then go for it

red schooner
#

Yeah for sure. I wouldn't do it because god no.

#

But each to their own I guess

ancient ingot
#

but ig 2 tokens its cheap

coral ibex

jsut lvl up ur proffessions and play the game

#

farm and gold will come

#

u will also craft your potions and flasks,you wont spend for them and make gold from them,

#

can never go wrong

coral ibex
#

you will gain more than 0.9% dps if you learn to play your spec better

#

and it wont cost you any gold

#

!!!

ancient ingot
#

thats what im learning now

#

but sad because cant get invite in raids with green logs for practice

#

just HC not myth ofc

#

btw someone said i can sell gear from raid but i cant selling or i do something wrong?

analog field
#

Just play the game and forget about gold

#

go raid and m+

#

it will be slow invites but they will invite you

coral ibex
#

find a guild

analog field
#

also that

weary stump
#

Your first 10 guilds by tradition will be terrible

#

So get it over with now

ancient ingot
#

i have random guild now, i ask about can i go heroic, RL saying go normal when we watching for u

#

on my opinion how can i learn heroic if i playing normal

weary stump
#

What's your m+ io at

ancient ingot
#

im only 2.5 now

weary stump
#

2.5k?

ancient ingot
#

yes

weary stump
#

Funny that they're demanding you do normal still then

coral ibex
#

there's basically no change from normal to heroic other than things hit harder and have more hp

#

the mechanical changes are extremely minor

#

if you can do normal you can do heroic

weary stump
#

Yeah, and rn none of the bosses are that complicated at heroic honestly

#

Hardest thing for you might be flying in dimensius but even then

ancient ingot
#

im also never die from mech things on king

#

but someone did wrong mech and wipe

weary stump
#

But what you could do is just go pug a normal raid and parse your ass off and show your guild those logs

#

Might let you skip their funny initiation of normal

ancient ingot
#

funny part its random guild randomly ppls

#

i thought this guild for education new players

#

and when i ask about heroic and RL saying "why should i take u", I realized that I was wrong.

main bridge
#

Probably should find a new guild if they won’t even take you to heroic

ancient ingot
#

but also this RL saying "dont take antena from vault its uncomfortable trinket for noob and u cant take ur orbs from him"

#

I'm from Russia, but sometimes I understand why a lot of ppls don't want to interact with people from Russia.

why do you wanna sim that

lets start there

#

mine already came as tier

midnight atlas
#

my sim wants me to pick shoulders which is low crit high haste but i dont want it kekdog

#

Then you're feelscrafting 🙁

#

Which invalidates any answer

marsh fjord
#

juset take whatever you want broski

#

gotta have them all 4 anyway on mythic

midnight atlas
#

so for fights with adds do you just gear up same as single target spec even if u got some rings or offpieces that sim higher for dslice?

im having a blast with sin rn but I want so be as competative as possible as I main swap to rogue from dragon...should I start gearing sub or deep dive/get good with sin first?

#

im thinking just 1 trick sin for a bit but I dont like that it is so riddled with bugs

unborn rain
#

implying sub is less buggy

umbral flume
#

damn

#

my new class is scuffed

#

whatever I was a dragon main...I endured aug

#

I can handle bugs

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
  • Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
  • Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

Both love netherprism, otherwise both like a 1.30 but you’ll also want a 2m for sin keys

spice surge

Prism is more than playable for keys as sin too

does anyone else have issues with terrible dps on the first pull of arakara?

#

every other pull in every dungeon is fine but somehow not that one

#

I'll burst over 20m on the first big pulls of other dungeons with half the enemy density

#

then like 8m on this pull

#

like wtf am I doing wrong

coral ibex
#

its just a shitty pull

#

it almost never gets gathered in a reasonable way

#

not playing bleed in gambit is trolling

thorn thorn
#

Whispyr had receipts ready

solar flax
balmy condor
#

thought I was tripping for a second

knotty vapor
#

does sub and assa use the same stats, or do people maintain 2 sets of gear to swap between them? Or does it just not matter?

thorn thorn
#

Time went back

balmy condor
knotty vapor
#

yeah thats what I thought

balmy condor
#

you can get enough stats swapped around with like a ring/neck swap

#

it's not that big of a deal

knotty vapor
#

been playing this class since 2008 and I've still never touched sub for even a second

#

but I've been tempted lately

lament bolt
#

I'm terrible at sub, so no temptation for me.

knotty vapor
#

yeah I'm awful at it, but no reason you can't learn

runic hinge
#

I am very mid at sub but it’s passable for the key levels I’ll be doing

It’s not that bad, I’ve been dabbling, kinda fun popping off on bosses

i personally vanish as soon as i can after kb (assuming i dont have an ambush proc)

if i have a proc i wait then vanish

With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

/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.

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

Prolly doing something wrong, but it just seems that mob dies and it doesn't reset / give me the buff

waxen oyster

that means you’re hitting random targets

#

or a target died and you didnt spend at 7 to consume DN

Usually only for rupture spread

waxen oyster

to get mark on something else

regal ice

If DN expires, what then happens to mark?

balmy condor

disappears

like you don't have a way to apply without stealth then

balmy condor
proper musk
#

thank you

static glacier
#

is there a way to disqualify a lot of items from consideration to begin with

balmy condor
#

Not really unless you’re able to look at an item and go “vers mast probably ain’t it”

#

Like if you’re going to compare a bunch of crafted rings for example

#

You don’t ALSO need to compare all the stats on your other crafted piece

static glacier
#

after you outed my stats as wack I recrafted shit back to sin, took 1st boss ring from vault

unborn rain
#

outed my stats is crazy lmfao

now ive got lily + dawnbreaker crystal outsimming prism and pacemaker

balmy condor

Yeh like “stats don’t matter” counts for “do I enchant mast or crit or do I craft my offhand with crit mast or crit vers”

balmy condor

Not “I have 5k crit and crit is my mainstat but whispyr said it’s whatever”

And blue parsed on it garf

yeah parsing araz

#

entirely how much add burst you do

I griefed myself and didn’t burst at the end with adds up

waxen oyster

I sent everything before adds and was like .. why the fuck did I do that

#

And that was the kill

static glacier
waxen oyster
#

which set

severe meadow
#

Like the last 10%

#

I sent everything before adds started spawning

waxen oyster
#

usually thats boss burn

waxen oyster
#

you send on

severe meadow
#

Add pad isn’t better?

#

For parsing purposes

waxen oyster
#

not sure

#

shindig’s was orange sending on boss burn

static glacier
#

myth prism and all

severe meadow
#

I’m really sin geared

#

Idk how much that matters tho

waxen oyster
thorn thorn
severe meadow
#

I swapped out a few items for more vers

static glacier
#

i think sub can function with sin gear, starts salivating at any vers you can run though

severe meadow
#

I had uh

#

Like 14% vers or something

waxen oyster
#

I think really the most you do is swap

#

rings/necks

#

tbh…

severe meadow
#

Ye I swapped a ring and neck

static glacier
#

ye, I recrafted ring for sub

#

and changed enchants and gems

#

and ran a different chest too

severe meadow
#

I didn’t do all that but

waxen oyster
#

nah i didnt swap enchants

#

i just had a vers mast neck also at 704 from delves

severe meadow
#

I have the one from uh

#

Floodgate

waxen oyster
#

same stats i think

severe meadow
#

Yeah vers mast

waxen oyster
#

theres like 2 vers mast delve rings though

#

and dungeon ones

severe meadow
#

Is alpha the one with giga crit

#

From plexus

waxen oyster
#

Yeah

severe meadow
#

Yeah I have that one too

waxen oyster
#

sub wants everything now due to drs

severe meadow
#

I swapped it out

waxen oyster
#

so its not massive

#

i think

#

except haste

#

After Araz we got Fract down to 13% in like 20 minutes

#

What a dumb fight

#

I'm actually mad

BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. On top of this, all stats being good on Assassination means there are currently over 500 "BiS" combinations that are within margin of error. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.

Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS from world content is especially not helpful, and we do not maintain any lists of these types. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character.

It doesnt say ambush but ambush will work

Their tooltips being not fully accurate as usual

iron karma
thorn thorn
#

Cuz its a boring way to do aoe

#

Objectively strong, but not interesting

iron karma
#

On paper sounds like best prio damage profile

#

idk about actual gameplay, haven't tried it yet

balmy condor
#

Your prio damage is from deathstalker

#

Every class in the game has a caustic spatter talent at this point

#

Fire mage ignite, arcane mage has touch, shadow priest, trickster on sub and outlaw, outlaw itself has blade flurry

iron karma
#

Say that to ret apes

balmy condor
#

It’s become the default way to do aoe in the last 2 expansions sadly

#

I prefer to not associate with ret paladins

iron karma
#

Idk as shadow enjoyer I cant imagine anything else from that be decent in keys

#

Where 95% fights have a big prio target

balmy condor
#

Yah I mean it’s a bit of a failure in dungeon design tbh

#

We’re cruising back to homogenization

#

Everyone gets prio everyone gets funnel everyone gets to do giga st and giga aoe and also I did a 20 and got one shot but this mage didn’t why can’t I have defensives like that

iron karma
#

Defensives are main reason I am switching from shadow tho

balmy condor
#

It’s just always back to square one instead of making dungeon design actually reward specs having different niches

#

That’s crazy work

iron karma
#

Tried fdk, its op. Now i'm getting to try rogue

balmy condor
#

Get ready to feint

iron karma
#

Its off gcd now

#

Last time I played rogue somewhere in bfa it wasnt

#

Feels giga free to press

oak tangle
#

still costs energy tho 😦

#

but it's fair

iron karma
#

Im ready to trade some energy for infinite -20

fallow canopy
#

I feel like on sin you don't even feel the energy cost

royal lantern
#

like, 2-3 expansions ago they literally killed specs because of funnel, or made funnel they ONLY thing they can do

#

rn its just "lol if you cant do everything at once, you are borderline trolling for playing it xd"

iron karma
#

Also not related to the channel topic question, can you tldr on assa vs sub damage profiles in low/high keys and low/high target counts

oak tangle
#

idk if it's weird, if they stuck to one design philosophy forever games would be stale, not liking it is okay though

royal lantern
#

i mean, making everyone do everything because people start complaining that they cant do X when another spec can do X is not really "keeping the game fresh"

#

its more the opposite tbh

#

like, if we actually would have niche usages for stuff, that would make stuff overall more distinct

thorn thorn
#

Niche is being removed

royal lantern
#

but instead its always the age old circle of "why cant i do this thing?????"->blizz gives a spec that thing and then 4 more cry that they cant do it->now everyone cries that they cant do it and everyone gets it->repeat

#

then you get a pruning somewhere down the line

thorn thorn
#

Apparently thinking its fine for a spec to have weaknesses is a hot take in 2025

oak tangle
#

so pre DF we (sin) should just be unable to do keys? at the benefit of slightly better ST?

royal lantern
#

the fact that you can say since dragonfligh "assassination rogue is kinda squishy in m+" in a serious way is just pure insanity

thorn thorn
#

Current version of carnage would do a lot better in pre-spatter era than the old carnage

twilit cargo
#

how can i sim a fist weapon for sub on top gear
it doesnt work for me
since its a fist
but i want it as an offhand

oak tangle
#

right, i just mean how much work in an uncapped aoe meta

twilit cargo
#

i wanna change the ilvl

thorn thorn
#

Next question

twilit cargo
#

but it doesnt allow me to sim it

#

on top gear and choose an ilvl

oak tangle
royal lantern
# oak tangle so pre DF we (sin) should just be unable to do keys? at the benefit of slightly ...

ofc a baseline should be fullfilled

but it NEVER stops at a baseline

like, again, in BfA sub rogue got literally removed from the game by nerf nukes for having funnel dmg (and literally nothing else except that funnel, not even real aoe stuff)

and nowdays they just throw that shit around left and right and everyone gets it and if you dont have funnel the spec is automatically kinda outdated allready lol

scarlet orbit
royal lantern
#

how is THAT not making the game stale

marsh fjord
twilit cargo
#

well its a question that is about sims

#

and no one is acitve ins ub

#

rn

marsh fjord
#

dead spec

#

comfirmed

oak tangle
# royal lantern how is THAT not making the game stale

i agree that every class becoming the same method to do damage is lame, but i just mean that asking to fill their weaknesses isnt. no one wants to be excluded from things because they miss out on what they'd otherwise be able to do on a different spec.

#

it's a hard line to find

thorn thorn
#

You cant have both fully

#

If every class has the same method to do damage then the "weakness" becomes irrelevant since its no longer something you would be missing

#

If every spec needed funnel to do st then it would no longer just be considered a spec weakness it would just be a mechanic of the game

royal lantern
thorn thorn
#

We dont talk about outlaw

royal lantern
#

where outlaws strenght was supposed to be "perma aoe with no downtime"

#

fast forward: lol

thorn thorn
oak tangle
#

would it have been better for them if it were 5 boss council instead of 3? idk i have their channel muted and don't roll on swords

thorn thorn
#

5 boss council would still be afflock territory

#

lol

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

that would imply that outlaw is stronger at 5 targets then everything else

#

but like

balmy condor
#

It’s not about giving specs tools to do X or Y or Z

royal lantern
#

lol

balmy condor
#

It’s about giving specs the option to do so with a downside attached to balance it

royal lantern
#

was there EVER a council fight that was not doominated by ranged dps btw? dracthyr_kek

balmy condor
#

The way it’s done right now is sinply “if your raid spec isn’t your m+ spec, it’s doomed”

royal lantern
#

^

static glacier
#

issue is they don't balance the up and downsides

balmy condor
#

Like yeah, if you want to funnel that’s great, but you should give up ST or big aoe in return

thorn thorn
