My guess: Diablo 4, Season 10

static glacier
#

Does whispyr play Diablo

#

I swear yall wowhead lot are some secretive cabal

real pike
#

I'm playing wind waker atm and I found one of those old school gamefaq ascii guides

#

Only real ones will remember

balmy condor
#

it is in fact my main job

jolly stirrup
#

You play Diablo for a living?

balmy condor
#

I mean, kinda I guess

#

that's not quite how I would describe it

#

but yeah I guess

jolly stirrup
#

Hmm

#

Game Support?

balmy condor
jolly stirrup
#

Thats kinda cool

balmy condor
#

I am john wowhead

real pike
#

What do u prefer d4 or wow

balmy condor
#

d4 is my job, wow is my hobby

zenith elm
#

So you prefer wow

balmy condor
#

yes

#

if I have to play an ARPG I play poe 1

#

cause poe2 is the most dogshit awful thing I have ever played

#

and d4 is just meh

orchid pewter
#

Pö2 is cool

real pike
#

I enjoyed d3 but d4 never gripped me

#

Still not finished the story

#

Wish Lilith gripped me

balmy condor
#

poe2 is like if you took the poe 1 skill system, but you told a 3 year old to redesign it

#

but then you also decided to randomly give the game perma temp chains

buoyant herald
#

mmm its certainly a choice they've made

#

well i mean different lead so

#

but yeah i can't get into it like i did poe1

#

struggle to push through campaign

balmy condor
#

attaching skill gems to weapon types and then you need like 5 different currencies and until this patch you couldn't wear the same support gem in two different skills

#

like

#

?????

buoyant herald
#

i don't hate the skill gem/slot thing tbh

balmy condor
#

this is your upgraded version after 15 years of poe 1 design?

#

what the fuck is your brain damage

buoyant herald
#

but the support gem system is madness

balmy condor
#

you designed an ARPG for over a decade

#

you're like okay

#

sequel time

#

and your first decision is to add 17 layers of arbitrary locks and rules and currencies to the skill system

#

like you have to be stupid surely

buoyant herald
#

the game LOOKS beautiful, i can even get behind the "no more one button build" stuff but

zinc frost
#

The ascendency system alone is enough for me to not want to play it

buoyant herald
#

why did it have to be so slow

balmy condor
#

"you guys loved sanctum, right?"

#

"why are you upset"

buoyant herald
#

my hopium is that they haven't finished that system but the want ascendancies

#

so just ctrl c ctrl v

balmy condor
#

the thing that drives me up the fucking wall even further is when some poe2 cocksucker hits you with the "it's still early access like stop crashing out, it'll change, it's not even 1.0"

buoyant herald
#

mmm nah i think the direction is pretty well set now

#

i wouldn't buy that

balmy condor
#

like shut the fuck up you twat GGG didn't have to release an absolute slop fiesta

#

they made the decision to release early access like this

#

like deadass I'd rather play release d4 than current poe2

#

it's that fucking garbage

orchid pewter
balmy condor
#

it is unfathomable to me how shit that game is

zinc frost
#

When im going back and enjoying poe 1 lab because of how bullshit poe 2 ascendency is you know its cooked

winged sun
#

Poe 2 overhyped bullshit

#

Poe can suck my balls

crisp steppe
#

I don't think poe2 ascendancies are that hard if you play a decent build. balance is just awful so if you play the wrong thing its an issue

crisp steppe
#

I mean

#

you enter the area and you collect ur point?

winged sun
#

Ur talking as if u 1 shotted every boss with ur builds on poe 2 release day

crisp steppe
#

I didn't

winged sun
#

It stayed fucked up for an entire week then literally everyone stopped playing it

crisp steppe
#

but I'd be lying if I entered a trial of ascendancy right now and failed it

winged sun
#

It was literally darksouls on poe

#

Thats omega fried

#

Crazy how ppl flamed d4

#

When it was so goood

crisp steppe
#

yeah what does the trial from 9 months ago have to do with current trials?

balmy condor
#

d4 was giga rough on launch too tbh

#

it's pretty playable now

#

second expansion soon

#

hopefully fixes the rest

#

and then it's an actual good game

winged sun
#

Druid felt rly nice to play

#

Bearform just smashing everything infront

#

And werewolf tornado

#

Was kinda cool

crisp steppe
#

I liked leveling and seeing the zones first time in d4. got bored at endgame. the talent system they had was also really poor. haven't tried the new xpc

winged sun
balmy condor
#

nah he's kinda real for that

crisp steppe
#

no

balmy condor
#

d4 skill tree sucks

winged sun
#

I never touched poe and i saw the talent system to be fine until recently

crisp steppe
#

on d4 launch I could talent my fireball to be

#

the exact same

#

or the exact same

#

repeat for every single skill

#

instead of allowing you to change ur skills to feel meaningfully different

balmy condor
#

yeh, they attached those to uniques for some reason

hearty seal
#

no new pins
what's this, week four of no fixes??

actually checked, it fucking is, week five on tue/wed

balmy condor
#

but even then, it's nowhere close to poe1

crisp steppe
#

I like poes talent trees but it really doesn't have to be a giant web. its a bit much for a lot of ppl

winged sun
#

Im not a fan of uniques personally

winged sun
#

Rest is all kinda good i like the uber uniques

balmy condor
#

the problem is that skills don't really augment skills, they just give it additional passive shit

#

and items are required to just make the builds work

winged sun
#

Very true yea

balmy condor
#

like if you don't have X basic skill unique item, you just

#

can't play basic skills

crisp steppe
#

Anyway I might try out d4 next xpac its just that people are so turbo negative about these kinda games

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

d4 next expac

#

banger

crisp steppe
#

like if I read ur conversation here I'd come to believe that poe2 is the worst thing ever but the player retention is just fine. people are having a decent time despite plenty of things that can use a lot of improvement

balmy condor
#

I firmly believe poe2 will be a great game in 2032

#

but releasing it as early access in this state

#

is actually offensive

#

but I guess that's just how games work in current year

#

you release some half baked garbage

#

slap an early access sticker on it

#

put a 0.x in front of the patch number

#

and then are absolved of all crimes

#

so many games do it these days

jolly stirrup
#

Escape from Tarkov goes into 1.0 in November...

#

That game is NOT 1.0 READY

balmy condor
#

the game was out for almost 9 years

scarlet orbit
#

Im a burnt child with early access. I played ark in it for years and while i still played the game got to 1.0 and i just didnt noticed it till someone told me. I keep my fair distance from early access games nowadays

balmy condor
#

and then you said "oh yeah btw 1.0"

#

be so fucking fr

#

most games aren't around for 9 years

crisp steppe

#

warframe has been in open beta since 2013
no official "actually the beta is over" statement has been given since, I think

crisp steppe
# balmy condor to each their own

yeah of course. I'm just saying I think theres a lot of discourse around these games that is insanely negative which I don't think is entirely fair, it just comes from being jaded.
Like I haven't played diablo4 recently and part of it is because I have to read all this insane shit like its the worst thing ever, when its probably a decent enough time

potent lintel
#

Can someone take a look at my logs? AOE i feel like im ok in mythic plus but when it comes to single target on bosses I am very lacking always thirdd some times behind tank

its interessting that a mincraft mod basically created an entire genre ^^

what's the (should we?) third item everyone's crafted? or do i just fill a low slot?

#

!craft

prisma monolithBOT
#

Preferences currently are wrist/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" overall, but Blessed Weapon Grip + Dawnthread can be VERY VERY slightly better in m+

Always craft a dagger for at least an offhand. Put Ascencion or Blessed Weapon Grip on it. Additional Crafts should be Wrist (maybe Belt later in the patch after dropping the delve belt) for your second embellishment, after that whatever low item level slot is fine, necks can be good crafts.
If you have a myth track weapon in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

(I have 0 idea about arpgs) mister Dominic Diablo

balmy condor
#

Rogues in Diablo 4 are kinda weird ngl

#

They tried to do like an archer/assassin hybrid thing

#

So you end up having like traps but also sniper skills

#

And a combo point system

#

But it’s all a bit jumbled together

static glacier
#

Sounds like more typical assassins realistically, Also screw you for spamming wowhead with Diablo bc most of us can’t figure out how to filter it

balmy condor
#

There’s separate webhooks for discord servers and you can set your news preferences using the filter on the home page if you’re logged in, that will remember on your next visits

!bugs

midnight atlas
#

is d4 barbarian bugged as well?

vestal wren
#

d4 is a way newer game than wow

#

wow just has a massive backlog on bugs on all specs

balmy condor
#

But it’s really hard to test things in d4 cause you have to just kinda hit dummies and look at the numbers flying out

#

So a lot of it kinda goes under the radar

#

The funniest bug I remember is they added something on ptr, a gem you can socket

#

It went live for 1 season, then they removed it

#

And for the next 2 seasons, people found exploits to get it back

#

And they had to hotfix patch it out on like day 2

#

Just for another exploit to happen the next day

#

They’ve “removed” that damn thing like 7 or 8 times now

midnight atlas
balmy condor
#

There’s still a bug where you randomly get a minimap icon for an event from like 1.5 years ago

#

And there’s nothing there

#

It’s just the icon floating on your map for no reason

#

That’s a fun one

actually thats lore accurate

purple wins

oak tangle
#

my rogue is both better and worse

#

some call me a one trick pony

kindred imp
#

do u guys swap to infused tangles on Mythic Loom or sit on boss? Seems like it dies way too quick for anything except maybe an envenom or two?

oak tangle
#

i wouldn't swap

#

don't plan to if/when we start doing mythic

kindred imp
#

yeah i dont either, but now have to pull some logs to explain to RL why 🙁 most rogue logs have it at like 0-5% max dmg on it

oak tangle
#

as assassin no point

spice surge
#

Not really a point as sub either, because either you are outside dance and do literally nothing or you use dance on them and waste half of your dance globals and you do even less boss damage than youre already doing

oak tangle
#

if they are not dying, and you are wiping to it, then i guess you can try and envenom them, but if your raid dont got the dps to kill the orbs, i dont think you have the dps to do p2

kindred imp
#

yeah that seems to be the conensus and what other rogue logs show. thx

oak tangle
#

as tryan likes to say, 9/10 times there is a boomkin not swapping

Boomkins are basically arcane mages with feathers if you think about it.

#

Both casters, both use arcane spells.

#

Both idiots.

#

Like, same thing. One's just in a fursuit.

oak tangle
#

is now a bad time to say i've played arcane

oak tangle
#

there is an arcane mage that comes to our guilds social raid, this is their opener on fractilus

potent lintel
red schooner
oak tangle
#

that is normal

#

XD

shy creek
#

Or keeping caustic sptter up on mobs

#

I'd recommend you to go read the wowhead guide a bit more carefully and practice on the dummies, your problems are pretty baseline assa rogue

oak tangle
#

is the log bugged for me, how are you timing a 12 with that dps

red schooner
#

Yeah, that just seems.... very low across the board unless I'm missing something.

#

M+ logs ain't my forte

drifting cloud
#

its streets and log dps isnt same as details

potent lintel
#

Ok what about single target damage against boss?

oak tangle
#

ah

red schooner
#

Use crimson tempest in single target

main bridge
#

you don't even have 100% uptime on garrote and rupture on the first boss corncerned

#

and no CT uptime at all

red schooner
#

First boss he died twice I think

#

So, I skipped that one.

potent lintel
red schooner
#

Yup

#

If you don't run amplifying poison (which we don't on bleed build), you CT in single target

potent lintel
#

ok but what wsa the uptime for my garrote?

#

is it a matter of a 2k dps difference?

main bridge
#

all of it matters

red schooner
#

I mean, garrote on target gives you energy back which is, sort of needed.

main bridge
#

assa ST damage is not great so you need to maintain every bleed all of the time to get the most damage you can

potent lintel
#

are you spamming envenom as soon as you fill up or do you have to wait til 50% energy like gide says

#

guide(

red schooner
#

Do not wait for 50% energy, its a minimal gain and hard to execute without fucking yourself over.

#

Just hit envenoms.

oak tangle
#

also if your tank wasn't an ass you coulda pulled the last pack in mailroom onto boss

potent lintel
oak tangle
#

also for singular focus funnel

#

and bonus CT damage

red schooner
#

Single target, ignore the 50% thing. AoE you should be drowning in energy so its no big deal.

oak tangle
#

i played with a tank yesterday that just understood the assignment in a halls

#

it was one of the most fun experiences i've had in keys

#

pulled adds onto every boss

potent lintel
#

On your details what is the number one damage dealer? Mines shows garrote and rupture

red schooner
#

Pure single target or overall?

potent lintel
#

overall

red schooner
#

CT and caustic

potent lintel
#

interesting

#

mines is garrote and rupture

red schooner
#

CT should be the highest normally I thought.

oak tangle
#

you're not pressing CT on bosses, that's alot of lost uptime

normal mist
red schooner
#

That was my overall in the last m+ I did, I ain't the best m+ player but like

potent lintel
#

for CT do you keep spamming it until all the adds are affected?

shy creek

Rutpure is pretty high up there in high keys, no?

#

And then I return to my natural state of raidlogging

#

Big pulls?

#

Hard to know if I’m shit or tanks shit in some dungs

burnt star
#

M+ dps in +10 is very variable

lunar pond
#

Big pulls, drag groups once casters die, stack groups on boss to reduce dps dips. Basically the only spot with ST is boss 2

main bridge
#

you can compare yourself to the other dps in the group

burnt star
#

How big is tank pulling. Is he bringing add into boss. Is everyone insta killing everything

#

U cant really compare yourself in +10 depending on comp

shy creek
#

Yeah, the tank variance is probably the biggest thing

#

The average tank doing a 10 for vault is

#

Ehhh

lunar pond
#

I’ve seen more tanks gun shy of chain pulling pugs in the 14-17. Like some assassin rogue has been mentally abusing them into thinking we need absolutely everything dead and restealths between each pull

isnt this guy paying loads just to have this listed? xd

i dont even get to play the game before ppl give up xd

shy creek
#

i just despise that first boss with everything

#

Pally divine hammer is very troll in there (ARA)

unborn rain
#

healer panics lets an early heal go and back to lfd

unborn rain
shy creek
#

What do you not understand

#

The general idea is p simple

unborn rain
#

do i need to get an orb

shy creek
#

You stack for the hammers when they drop, you move away

unborn rain
#

thtas p much it

shy creek
#

Then you stack again so the shields come down in the same place so you can move to soak

unborn rain
#

i cant tell if im being gaslit to grab an orb

shy creek
#

You grab one orb, you hit feint

#

Yeah, you can soak 2 usually with cloak of shadows

#

You grab both, then cloak

unborn rain
#

oh okay

shy creek
#

You can't cloak, then grab them

#

Has to grab both, then cloak and you'll be okay

#

Other than that, you're pretty tanky on rogue, so I do my best to always grab one orb

#

Also if you grab one orb in the beginning, and then you wait until the very last like 4 seconds, you can grab a second orb without stacking the debuff

#

^ this is common tech for 5 soaks without immune classes

unborn rain
#

yeah i usually run w immune classes and then guild groups dont have em

#

so i forgor

spice surge
shy creek
#

^ Yea cloak has this very niche wording

unborn rain
#

am i tripping or is there a knock back too

spice surge
#

And it doesnt immune the knockback

shy creek
#

"You are granted a moment of magical immunity"

unborn rain
#

okay

shy creek
#

So its not the 5 seconds, its just that singular tick or w/e it is

unborn rain
#

oh lame

#

is it like 99% magic resist after then

#

or

#

Ish

shy creek
#

Can post a log in sub chat and see if you're doing stuff wrong

But sub ST is not amazing, sub is mostly a good spec for meeting damage checks and optimizing damage amps

Thats where sub shines

shy creek

i see now! so this is where rogues start to shine

shy creek

Yeah, its not great for pure ST, just very good for damage amps and dmg checks

severe meadow
#

Keep in mind, boss damage itself is really important

sleek spear
#

even for loomithar, the execute phase where the moth takes increased damage. cant match other classes

shy creek
#

Yeah assa is a bit better for loomithar for boss dam

#

Heres the boss damage chart for loomithar

sleek spear
# shy creek

do most rogues keep changing spec for each boss?

#

or stick to 1 spec and just blast the entire raid

shy creek
#

Sub/assa rogue players tend to go hand in hand

#

The early prog rogues will generally play both

#

And outlaw rogues are just freaks of natures (don't tell them I said that)

#

Honestly more people would probably play outlaw if you weren't fucking urself over by crafting a one hand sword

severe meadow

Cuz you can flex between sub/assa stats p easy

and then only go back again after the 10 sec

yeah

#

and go in after it officially begins

desert crest
#

Well thats it i will never be out dpsed by my warlock friend first pull again

#

gg

#

i love u

waxen oyster
#

if first pull is real soon

cunning rivet
#

What build are we running in key? Bleed build?

severe meadow
#

bleed

desert crest
#

If u are not in like a +11 key then pull will llast plenty long

#

18 stack is a very big dmg increase

static glacier
waxen oyster
#

its casually like

#

66k agi

#

yeah

static glacier
#

litterally only thing keeping rogue relevant is the trinkets

#
  • dmg amps
desert crest
#

First pull is also somtimes a crazy high % of the dmg u do entire key

static glacier
#

can be

#

but i find sub has cds every pack if you do high enough keys

#

sin giga consistently good aoe regardless of cds

desert crest
#

Yeah but not everypull is as large as first pull of key

static glacier
#

ol clearly is tank dps on mass pulls

desert crest
#

Yeah i remember in cinderbrew first pull as outlaw was a joke

static glacier
#

one of the things that really bothers me about rogue (sub/sin)

#

is actually a massive strength they have over ol

#

the fact out of cds what you do doesn't matter much

#

on st / raid

#

i like having constant feedback if im doing well, outlaw kinda provides that but it just comes with so many qol issues and points of failure

#

like the fact i can say ye ill do every x mechanic, im not in cds idgaf

#

feels off

waxen oyster
#

thats more for sub

#

sin a bit less

static glacier
#

both are similar

#

keep in mind dance cdr

waxen oyster
#

yeah its just subs highs

static glacier
#

my 1 wish is to just let sub cds be static in future

#

enough of this

waxen oyster
#

are really high

static glacier
#

or bring back dust and all in on fully flexible cds

coral ibex
#

yea but you can literally fully afk on sub for 10s before flag to build up shadowcraft

#

this is not the case for assa

static glacier
waxen oyster
#

play fury warrior

#

no cds just

#

brrr

static glacier
#

idk man, if they don't fix some shit with rogue for next expac ima try my hand at maining another melee

#

sv would be 2nd choice but it's so undesirable

#

probably will look into dk, dh and perhaps warr

coral ibex
#

id just play mage if rogue ever got fully bricked

lunar pond

not really played fury in forever, maybe since wod

played arms in amirdrassil as an alt tho

its like outlaw kinda

#

you have no burst really

We only do these things in pandemic EXCEPT when we won't be able to refresh it due to downtime

would have rather done ara but no one invited me

Also you deathmarked at the beginningof this fight, and not at the end, so your cds didn't kline up for higher damage

#

Which isn't a mistake of your own, just how the spec goes

pastel grotto
shy creek
#

The person you're comapring to also didn't use CT in st which is a mistake

#

It just tells me when you used deathmark in the fight

pastel grotto

Oh

Just says you uesd it at the beginning and not the end

pastel grotto

Yea they clearly didn't play optimally but still outperformed me by a huge margin

To be fair, you are in a 6 LOL

This is pretty stnadard six gameplay

Probably faster to farm it in 10s

I had a few of those trying to run for certain items its bad

I agree 10s are usually easier

more than being dumb dumb

10s are still pretty demonic territory

but not as bad

unborn rain
#

its over

#

time to join a guild

shy creek
#

I wish guilds were better in m+

#

Like on average yopu'll find better players, but the real trick is just to have high io and get into keys with people farming vaults

#

Just check tank io and if its reasonable do the key, if not leave go find another

Yup!

Fractillus dropped prism on M, got it, ahh 😄

speaking of Prism. We macro it with vanish right? And use it during deathmark/cold blood overlap (for edge case)?

marsh fjord

So shiv/vanish/DM

marsh storm
#

okii

#

during that vanish before deathmark, does it matter if i follow up on an envenom or ambush, depending on combo points?

or just use keybind for trinket 2ez

and you go back in afterwards

prisma monolithBOT

Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:

  • Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
  • Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied

As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.

clever sparrow
#

should i really target swap on loom? to hit the orbs?

coral ibex
#

no

clever sparrow
#

im just putting a rupture on it

#

and he says its not enough you should full swap to it

royal lantern
#

tell him that the ranged dps should wake up and do mechanics for once in their life

#

instead of killing the boss dmg by letting melee do it

red schooner
#

Realistically, if you hitting the tangles is the difference between a kill or not a kill, you should hit the tangles. But additionally, if you're the one thing standing between tangles dying and not dying, something has gone disastrously fucking wrong before that point.

main bridge
#

if it was me i'd look at tangle damage from every ranged and show your RL all the ones that aren't swapping

red schooner
#

Should I have to hit tangles? Nah cos the ranged are lazy fucks. But am I gonna refuse to hit tangles and wipe repeatedly due to that? Also no.

main bridge
#

because if they aren't dying then there is certainly a few ranged that are tunneling boss

red schooner
#

Could always employ the strategy I used. Hard swap to tangles for a few pulls, then point aggressively at my tangle numbers and how shit they are regardless.

Hello there! i have a quick question regarding Assa, i saw on wow head that the stat prio is mastery>Crit, but when checking high rated assas in murlok.io i saw they are doing mastery>versa instead, and i wonder if this is coz they are mainly playing sub so they go mastery>versa, or for mythic+ is just better to go mastery>versa instead of crit?

coral ibex
#

stats dont matter

#

people arent bis

#

they are equipping what they have

#

there's no intelligence in murlok btw if someone logs out in troll gear or talents it will just show that

red schooner
#

Also, high end m+, vers helps for damage reduction

solemn cove
#

I get that, but still people lean towards one stat or the other, specially with crafted gear and jewelry

#

and i was just a bit cautious, i dont want to craft and lean towards mastery>versa if it turns out its just an artifact coz they play sub

coral ibex
#

you should just craft whatever sims highest

#

if you also play sub, you should probably consider that with your craft

balmy condor
solemn cove
#

I mean, i need to look at somewhere

balmy condor
#

Yes, sims

desert crest
#

Does anyone know if there is a portal at gambit entrace?

#

like after u put in the key

#

can u still leave?

solemn cove
#

yeah, but its hard to sym how you perform best in dungeon, for patchwerk i get that tho

balmy condor
#

We have dungeonslice for that

solemn cove
#

well, dungeon slice not always works as intended, so thats why i look at other players, anyway, ill be looking at syms to see what to do, thanks!

red schooner
#

Other classes do their own things.

#

But we slice

balmy condor
#

Twice even

#

Two daggers for more slicing

vestal wren
red schooner
balmy condor
#

But most classes are fine to run in slice

#

It might not be the most recommended thing but it’ll be aight

#

Patchwerk is a hard sell for especially assassination, because you’re essentially ignoring all restealth/chain pulls

#

You could realistically sim patchwerks for like 1/3/5/8/10 target and then compare back and forth and try and splice everything back together in a way that’s coherent

#

But that’s 1. A lot of effort

#
  1. A lot of human interpretation
#
  1. Most people frankly have no clue what they’re even looking at or lack the ability to reason and weigh those options objectively in the first place
red schooner
#

Oh hey, I'm number 3.

you can ask in the class specific discords, and they will tell you their prefered style of evaluation

if you want to be sneaky, you can just ask if their sim supports fights with add events

as if the answer is yes, dungeon slice is just that ^^

hi guys, can someone help, how i should sim correctly for m+? what should i put

dungeon slice is good for gearing, use that

Normally if I need information quickly I'll just confidently assert something that I know isn't true.

I'll immediately get 40 people typing

thats the beauty of class discords ^^

I know atleast havoc has stopped support for dslice

Thankfully I only play rogue at a level where my performance matters so, I can just remain here and hide.

golden loom
#

Like u cant even sim it on raidbots garf

vestal wren
#

the fight style dates back to bfa when we created it^^

#

its a rogue invention ™

lucid silo
#

can we get that bfa talent that made us do more funnel

vestal wren
#

shuriken combo on subtlety?

lucid silo
#

yeah that shit was so OP

vestal wren
#

devs expressed funnel to be too good of a niche

#

so they won't bring shuriken combo back for subtlety that is

#

tho we luckily now have it on other classes and assassination, so it seems their funnel is less problematic

lucid silo
#

isnt Sin funnel bugged right now

golden loom
#

Ye

lucid silo
#

they'll fix it when they rework rogue again for midnight

golden loom
#

In m+ you still benefit from funnel but in raid build its fucked

vestal wren
#

we don't know if they rework rogue outside of outlaw

#

which was the only spec name dropped in the interview

lucid silo
#

can we just get rid of one or two sub CD buttons TIA

static glacier
#

it was litterally all ur multitarget power is funnel

vestal wren
#

subtlety had clear trade offs, which other funnel specs don't have

static glacier
#

the most extreme kind of funnel i think

#

that's true

vestal wren
#

tho thats on blizz to figure out

#

i prefered having niches more split between specs, think most are now shared

#

like all 3 rogue specs now have their own verison of BF

static glacier
#

sub doesn't function without flurry i don't think

golden loom
#

The problem is that it doesnt "function" because every spec has everything

vestal wren
#

aoe is even with it a interessting mix

static glacier
#

I like how it ended up as the sub rogue

#

but from other class's pov it's unfair

#

it sealed outlaw's fate

vestal wren
#

because dotting multiple targets is done to a higher extend compared on assassiantion, which is basically the "dot centered" one

lucid silo
#

but like why does sub spread rupture outside of stealth easier feelscryman

static glacier
#

would be cool if they got rid of spatter but then that breaks a lot of other things for sin

vestal wren
#

stealth is fairly diffrent integrated between rogue specs

static glacier
#

and why does outlaw do the whole shadow dance thing better than sub

#

ican't man

Hello everyone, I have a bug, caustic spatter doesn't apply on my target after I garrote and rupture it, I tried to remoke gear, change talent, switch to sub, outlaw, then go back to assassination, closed and reopen the game, but caustic spatter doesn't work anymore, anyone knows what I could do ?

!causticbug

prisma monolithBOT
#

Caustic is not bugged. The Green Puddle on the ground is Poison Bomb, not Caustic Spatter. You are either:

  1. Not using Deadly/Amplifying poison (or its not applied to your target)
  2. Not using Rupture on your target
  3. Not using Mutilate/Ambush if the above two are applied

And are you using mutilate/ambush to apply it
