Do u have a blindside proc
do you have spec hero talents in?
the first one is mut isnt it?
oh nvm
deadly poison
to do damage
Another day another Reddit post hating on rogue
it's the fotm rerollers from dragonflight
asking why they can't come back and fotm yet
I’ll give you a different kind of inflation
If you swap spec while blindside is up it bugs out and you need to relog iirc
sometimes in a sea of complainers and "bug fixes when" people, seeing the appreciation goes unnoticed
World of Warcraft guide writer Whispyr has released a new list of rules regarding the Rogue APL. Our damage scales, or as he puts it… inflates. Check out Whispyr Inflation Rule 34 for more information.
ive had this issue multiple times in the last week
nobody can ever help identify the bug
it only goes away by completely rebooting
bliz removing mut?? 👀
@balmy condor i have a question about simming that idk if it is possible or not to do, lmk when you're around
Blizzard just can't help themselves with the rogue bugs xd
@balmy condor i have mythic lily and champion prism and pace, sim suggests not using pace. Should i follow ? if yes in m+ or raid or both ?
what's your instinct
my instinct, is he not gonna like that question XD
^
i agree but the motto is trust the robot 😛
Do you want to play double on use
Or being pinged
still irrelevant i think
i can't play anything in full potential
we are here so we try our best
ummmmm.....
Yeah but if you misplay double on use you literally only have 1.5 trinkets
then the sim is irrelevant
Instead of two
double on use isnt hard to use in raid, you just bind lily to dm and prism to vanish and then vanish early for the 3m dm

i mean if it is the better choice i will try to do it even if it is difficult
its like saying dont take antena
coz you will miss orbs
ok maybe i will but what does it matter
Ok then pick bigger number on sim
what would u take?
that's why i ask whisp , maybe he can explain that the number is wrong or that i shouldn't for X reason
sim it, but if you want more assa it is antenna on sub idk it can be boots ?
Trinket sims 200k better on sub in D Slice and trinket sims 40 k better on assa in ST
Probably just play pace anyway, but champ is a huge oof and you probably don’t need the crit
Isn't this insanely troll
Cause you need to vanish with both dm and kb buff up
?
it doesn't matter when you vanish as long as it procs on edge case flips
you can vanish before the first shiv
or after DM
or right before your next envenom
with prism actually you have to vanish before even DM i think
if ur concerned about it you can just separately bind your trinkets
but it doesn't matter where you vanish as long as it procs on edge case flips
!dj
Vanishing On Fatebound 
- you vanish for double jeopardy, a Fatebound talent
- this causes your next flip to flip an additional coin, and this coin can be an edge-case coin
- because of this, you want to vanish when you know the next flip is an edge-case flip
- edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.
- you should be vanishing every 3 minutes, lining up with every other deathmark, and this will also align with netherprism every 3 minutes for maximum burst
edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.

28th day of checking pins
If you macro prism to vanish you want to vanish before deathmark ideally yes
But it’s not really that important

Can we assume the bugs won’t be addressed this year? Maybe in midnight if we’re lucky
They will add more bugs
i send ion an email every day begging him to block any patches that fix rogue bugs
grappling hook has been bugged in the overworld since sepulcher
obv different bugs have different prios but just to put as an example
Killing spree was unchanged in it's mechanics since it's inception in WotLK before it was changed A MONTH AGO
how do we use netherprism on deathstalker?
With DM
every 2 mins
I sometimes skip a prism use on DM in M+ so i can giga blast the next one but I'm very sure that's not useful
but it does feel good
I mean thats kinda worth it if its like the mini boss in halls and so on
it actually saves you time
but you will have like 12-14 stacks every 2 minutes
skipping a use is just a massive waste of stacks
yeah but 18>14
yea but 28 > 18
i know it's not good
that's what i'm sayin
as example im hitting 3th boss in halls. my DM is coming off cooldown. boss is 40%. netherprism is high stacks. im just holding for mini boss
Also im talking high keys. like 16/17s
Where mini add needs to die before first healing
yeah that's one of the spots i hold as well if i remember to
but also my highest key done rn is a 13 on rogue
yea i mean holding cds entirely is one thing
sending dm with no trinket so your next use 2 minutes later has 4 more stacks
is another
bugs are both in the tier set, so just wait for next tier
it doesnt in the sense of 'does it make or break the key' but i feel like if tank pulls the guy down it's a very high chance to one phase the guy
which is more fun than doing that dance like 2 to 3 times
meh its probably better to just send and then swap to wound poison for the heal cast
I really think if 12.5 patch notes comes out and there are no bug fixes for Assa i think they wont come at all.
Singular focus is kinda whatever id like them to actually fix FB tier so it's not randomly annoying
yeah FB tier unsyncing is so disorienting
I almost had a repeat of my fract RNG on plexus by getting the tier set bug into double cds in execute
but boss died..
Kaipo's guild ( i dont know if you know them) is at 350 pulls almost
23rd pull is the one

i love flexing being a 20 viewer andy cause the other top national guilds doesnt raid or are doing reclear rn

love being hatewatched

how long does it take for soulbinder to spawn mobs?
na i mean that phase it spawn lots of mobs
!shiv
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
It’s okay, I’d hate to lovewatch you
hello guys, by any chance does anyone have this macro in french please ?
it isn't working when i try to change the spell names into their french version for some reason 🙁
(thistle tea macro)
it's like on 2min so you have cd's exactly, and you hold at 4 min for like 15 ? or something
whar
but you do know you can, to inflate my viewership 
nobody talks in my chat anyways rofl
Blizzard really waiting for HoF to close to to tuning, and fix all the assassination bugs
nothing to do just press buttons
and hold dm at 4 for a bit
gg
smthiing like that
i guess that ruined me
yeah 4:15
didnt know the timings ...
also use your trinket
Is the soulbinder build shown in wowhead the same we use in mythic? My damage was so low last night
you hold DM and KB for the BIG add phases
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/28QYztw9dHrDLRn4?fight=12&type=damage-done you can compare i just did that
that dm window at 2 min is also a bit messy
Yeh ok. Will give it a crack next week. Thanks
how to fix it?
every dm window should be dm>shiv>kb and then shiv again when the first falls off
this isn't negotiable
got it
I will test this
holy shit my damage sucks since getting antenna + prism idk what i'm doing wrong
huh
yea i know it's weird
its a passive and a macro trinket
prolly didnt want to
but its better during add phase no?
well yes
basically as soon as 3 are on screen?
probably (and i hope it's this) just my raid having too much damage for heroic and that fucks me up
cause we just recleared and i felt weak
ok mutilate can give 2 at least I guess no? 
because 2 weapons?
yeah, and you can get ambush procs


I am struggling a lot at soulbinder
we raid myth again tomorow
I take all advice I can get
oh yeha, thats 100% normal lol
5*
oh i see
used to cleaving stuff, and then 3 weeks into the tier the stuff you cleaved just dies in 3 seconds
so basically I only use FoK on Naazin when we are in the middle and all adds come?
yea i barely saw adds on soulbinder earlier
otherwise mutilate?
might actually be 6 now, it was almost 6 last season, I assume with more gear and more mastery it's probably 6 now but it's whatever
I mean even then there's a good chance one of them die early and you go back to mut, but yes
idk, if its more then 3 enemys and i have the Deathstalker FoK thingy up
im gonna use FoK
stop me
well if you have clear the witnesses up you press it on 2 targets
that's not in question
that shit hits like a truck
and I hold 2nd DM and KB window for Add group in middle?
yes
2:05 and 4:30
I hope my damage will be better tomorrow
yes
So I can open with normal rotation, then hold until 2:05 and 4:30
but yeha
just dont use cds on pull
I demand plank not log
That can be arranged
Dimi?
yeah

Is it progress if you’re still in p1 after 2h?
Guys fairly new to rogue. I like the play style of Assassination, but still in a spot where learning Sub or Outlaw is an option. I'm currently only running +12s, no raiding. If I plan to go for 3500 io should I stick to Assassination or move on to any spec?
Is there a world we play double on use ?
That sounds about right
you can but its feels bad,also no real gains.Creates more problems than actually adding dmg
also what uberscot said
eating oreo cheesecake
(irrelevant but im here to make you jealy)
dw before the p1 nerfs it took me 53pulls to see p2 once
its not that bad
aint no way you are also using prism with lily

YEAH BUT THATS PRENERF
THIS IS NERFED DAWG
could be worse

Any tips for Fractilus? I got a 99 and 98 in Sentinel and Loom, but a 71 in Fract... i dont get it...
Could augmentation buffs be affecting my logs?
Fight length often has a big impact
if it's in context of answering a specific question, like for example lets say someone is asking how to deal with a boss mechanic and you use it as a visual help, then yes
i just wanted to show
some weird ass devour wipe we had on dim here
we pulled and insta died
Yep, no forge
you have the opposite of me tho
i have hero lily and myth prism


We have been insanely unlucky with trinkets this tier
How does vanish help fatebound single target?
I saw my first myth dagger of the tier in my vault, took it, and we dropped our first loom dagger immediately after

Thanks
we see one of those every week, guess how many antennas though? 
(I'm the only rogue)
Most people already have the mog by this point
WELL...
Yall beat salad bar???
yeah

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/MLt4PCJbZXknKrBc?fight=35&type=damage-done riddle for you what did I do wrong on this pull? 🧠
could I trade that reward in for drilling a screw into my urethra instead

Hello, am screw
World of warcraft
The Burning Crusade
Why does it sometimes feels like my KB comes back earlier than expected ? Its weird
Bug
lovely
It's in the pins
are we supposed to delay or send then ?
the post is over a motnh old
Because blizzard doesn't care about rogue, hence why im not one anymore
that's myth raid
depends on timers, top logs on fract mythic abusing the bug
sell it!
Forge Prism returns..
Yus
Prolly isn't good for assa
but it's the nuts on BM
it's not
it's just funny when people ask about running them both
swap to sub
why
forge prism op on sub
Bro your playing rogue
a guy with parse of 18 and 3 potion in 98 pulls got myth antenna
in my guild rn
xd
that's how it always goes
what can i say
it was LC tho
^^
im not mad or anything 3rd week in the guild tho
still a trial
so no right for loots anyway
my favorite is the "forge prism is so bonkers op" and you open like a rank 4 sub log and they lost a cast of forge and only cast it twice in 7 minutes
super insane

its like forge prism forge prism tho
every 1:30 min so its normal 😄
ATLEAST THE FIRST BURST IS HIGH BCS OF FORGE xd
anyone got some tips for me?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/fpdWn2DYNTFw3QHk?type=damage-done&fight=42
not satisfied with 64 tho
yeah and then there's the rank 1 sub rogue on araz, rank 8 all classes
getting 1 and a little at the end in 5:40

why did he used 2x netherprism back to back? WHY HE BURSTS WITH NETHERPRISM INSTEAD OF FORGE WHATS GOING ON HERE 😭
9,670...
i have no right to say why
but why...
bro I swear to god, if this is the best that double on use has to offer
I don't want any part of that cult
I see that shit and I simply cannot believe its worth it
you cannot convince me
same same
lol poizen was in us and showed up fully drunk on one raid, and then he left or had a fight with RL
wtf lol
tbh wow isnt a hard game idk why some people are soo bad at it
like after 40 try you shouldnt make any mistake
(atleast on most bosses lets not talk about KJ in TOS)
We got araz down to 8% at last
is it harder than loom?
ARE WE COOKED? xd
yes
do we have any boss difficulty tier list?
OH
Id say it is harder but for some peculiar reason it's going better
today we one shot re cleared first 3
3% buff is pretty big
people mastered rotation on 116 pulls i guess
xd
when you're just passivly getting it
I was 2 weeks away and they couldn't kill loom and when I came back we killed it in 1 hour xd
they needed THE ROGUE B)
Buff is like 2 weeks no?
is there a sheet for timings on certain bosses for when to send cds
https://lorrgs.io/spec_ranking/rogue-assassination/plexus-sentinel is a rough guide but largely it depends on your own fight timings and knowing the fights
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
Another one for my collection
We killed loom on monday! I think we are going to have tanking/healing issues for forge though...
Soulbinder < Plexus << Loom < Frac (if good output easier than loom) < Araz <= DH <<<<< Nexus << Dimmy
it's not terrible
you get like half the fight with two targets under rupture and garrote
we're getitng to p3 more often now wondering if its better for the single target
@normal mist pookie pookie
but i guess during the amp its not as good as sub
nothing is ever going to be better than sub during a 20s amp
yo, whats up
you peep the FF monhun crossover stuff?
You bet
How nasty is that Dark Knight thing
weapon wise?
everything really
28 days later … 
weapon was GS
DRK my beloved...
i'm no speedrunner, so i just do everything every update // craft all the new sets // do all the challenges
Do we still macro cold blood to kingsbane for st fate?
yes
ikr
2032
2025?
2843
2025???
yeah prolly when tier is over idk
i can boost you in dimmy LFR
are you saying you dont want that boost gold
idk, do i
do you?
buyers totally wouldnt grief dimmy
!macro

There is any tip to bind the yelding trinket with some?
I didnt get how to better use it
then with DM
Im using at moment anntena and yelding
Wtf
I need all of the glorps





our trial 2nd warlock decided to be responsible and value his time for school instead of cutting edge

how do we find these freaks
Where are they
does heads coin work for you guys? 
Reveal them to me

oh this is it
Idk about whispyrs but the ones I used are from my personal emoji server
This has now been fixed, +3% dps gained
~~ Fatebound Heads is bugged and has been the entire season.~~
initial % damage doesn't work correctly on skills, only the +2% per stack works. This causes Fatebound Heads to be terrible compared to
Fatebound Tails
The impact of this is around a 3% loss, but can cause bigger swings as flipping a chain of heads is just simply not good.


Exciting, how did you discover this one 
New pin
Outlaws
Koji looked at the spell data and went "wait a minute"
there was a convo in internal tc
I reckon an amazing Whispyr wowhead article raising awareness of these bugs could get blizzard to double time fix it
He was browsing spell data and just so happened to discover that almost all the TWW made stuff was missing ID 416
Which means it doesnt work with breath of eons
it wouldn't
there were other issues with tails and coins, we were discussing a couple weeks back in tc-outlaw, so might be an investigation from then onwards
like for example tails damage comes before their buffs

I can't wait to see people melt down over this
the damage loss we potentially may have as fatebound could be more than we think
but its hard to say
but it sucks about the heads one
why would it be more
I'm not sure if the tails damage coming before the buff is implemented in simc yet, but i think there could be a minor -% from that once it does
I think simc currently thinks tails damage comes after the buff application
thats all i meant by that, just a combination of bugs
ah ok didn't know that too
Frost is as well
BM as well 🙂
Def gonna be back on rogue for midnight but frost dk is so dumb in keys
The amount of times i die to aggro
Reminds me of playing back in Wrath and getting yelled at by the tank bc i pressed my buttons too early
Jump to 20m dps in 7 globals, die to aggro
Literally unplayable
Exactly
Yesterday i killed myself by immediately pressing 45s cds when i saw the last pack before dragon in gambit being pulled
Didnt even get a 2nd global off

Oh fun more bugs. Really not expecting them to fix any of these until midnight.
I wont lie
When I get a fdk I put timelessness on the tank and hope they die to aggro problems
Cuz I hate fotm players
Very fair
All they gotta do is wait 2 seconds
Same with devokers
'Dont send all your damage immediately when you see the mob move' challenge
Very hard tbh
Coming from rogue
I dont typically see others devs since I play aug, most groups I play with lately are prot pal, rdruid, fdk, and either hunter or mage

Not a poe2 enjoyer?
Waiting for legion remix
I got through the story this patch, which was a lot better than last one
And i didnt play lightning arrow
But it needs SO MUCH work for me to even consider sinking time into endgame
Game is pretty solid now but they gotta change how towers works and how juicing the maps work
if they can nail that
then its cheff kiss
I dont like that expanding atlas thing(not a deal breaker) and the map layouts are horrible
Esp bc i just wanna be able to pick one
Like PoE1
You can
Your not forced in any of them
did t16's juiced my build up tot 100 divine
did uber
and pissed off
PoE2 is just tower gaming
Yeah they gotta fix the towers
That’s why I don’t care for it for now
Now the meta is findign 3 towers in the same area but 9 tablets in them. juice your map and get rich
I sunk almost 2k hours in poe1 so hopefully it gets fleshed out more
Merc was great, I wouldn’t want it to go core tho I don’t think
it can go core just not the hiring
Im close to 5k on steam for PoE1, think with the few leagues i played on standalone its over 5k
Yeah that’s fine
Nah the hire part is the cool part
But also impossible to balance
Guess they could replace rogue exiles in a way
Or supplement them
Yeah because of doryanis
Like chance to spawn infamous merc instead of exile, has 1 unique, well rolles rares and some good currency to choose from
The two most broken shit was doryanis and sin
Just using them as a 2nd AG is really strong
Lads
Garb on them was very nice tho, they gotta do something about the action speed shit
Gave away my double corrupt mageblood and stopped playing the league
With petrify

I think i had ~a mirror into viper strike
What is your hottest take
Also very fun
I was gonna try to get FRoSS up and running but it was too much work to research and build another char that cant do more than my current char
@fallow canopy you guys have a disc instead of holy?
i was just looking back at comparing our guilds Xddd
we have a holy and a spriest that if for any reason our holy can't make it that night plays disc
if needed
lmao
goated
very rare, has happened like only twice this season

also, you guys dont have a pala?
50g and a mcchicken
tempting offer but I'm out of mcchicken
Unfortunate
Is that for boosting?
Wowee
also omega glory
i lol'd
Coulda left it broken, i got my hearthstone and meta achievment
me when i return to the rogue discord after a week of playing BM hunter to see a new pin and its just another uncovered bug

Oh, a harmless bug? Hotfix in seconds. A damage-loss bug? Guess it’s invisible. Just my opinion.
Dont worry lads they are saving the bugfixes for midnight
considering rogue is an old class and one of the least played atm, they surely think it's not important enough and they'd rather focus on popular classes
maybe by 12.25 they’ll finally have all the bugs fixed…
Complexity of the fix also plays a role
If its too much effort to dedicate to fixing it they wont bother
would be faster to remake it completely from zero
I wouldnt go that far
would a hero netherprism outperform myth lily on FB? or just sim? i assume it does outperform forge on DS
If either solution takes too much dev time then they just wont do it
Especially with a new xpac coming up
At some point they gotta admit they utterly failed and must fix their shit asap.
Remake is much needed. Not only every specs of rogue are based on old af mechanics, they're also either bugged, undertuned, or it isn't fun at all.
Rogue as a whole has less usage than Warrior Fury in high M+ keys, and that says a lot considering I never cross Fury warriors in my keys

Fury is one of the "more popular" off meta picks 
Hello, do you guys keep tracking your energy to not get <30 to prevent thistle tea autocast?
5% of dps are fury in +15 keys
Fury alone is almost as popular as all 3 rogue specs in 15+ keys
that was my point
That still puts it in a good spot 
Its in the middle
After warrior the popularity starts to drop off hard
No you do not have to do this or think about tea at all
imagine having 3 dps specs and all three combined cannot top a 5% dps pick rate lmao
Rogue not meta
Idk what your point is but generally the higher you go the higher the pick rate of the meta specs is
Well if I want to tea always at last 6s of kingsbane to increase dps i need, im looking for things i can do better
They’re only fixing this CD issue now? Seriously?
But also some specs have it far worse than rogue
Evoker DPS isnt popular currently
And neither is WW
brewfest bugs on top of prio wdym

it might have been fixed for days, these posts dont go out instantly as the hotfix goes live
I might be old school, but I do believe a 3 dps spec class should have at least one doing decent results.
Having less than 5% usage all spec combined isn't just "off meta". It's a HUGE sign of something broken.
As for Evoker, yeah, they're in the same kind of trouble, sure. Worst ? I dunno, last class to be released, they look like shit and nobody wanted to play them even when they were meta. Evoker player rates always were insanely low. Even then, just because another class is going bad, doesn't mean nothing have to be done to one of them.

Yea the thing being broken is frost dk going the entire xpac in its current state lol
Its not like its unplayably undertuned
Havoc and BM are doing insanely great aswell lmao
Outlaw can't for instance
fair and balanced spec
I mean, we struggle battling against tank druids lmao
Im sure it cant 
Zac your spec is literally unplayable rn why are you griefing
Bind shiv to tea
!shiv
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
A havoc or fdk would prolly do more if piloted well
But that was a 20 gambit and 19 floodgate respectively, so like i said its not like it doesnt pull the numbers
Not everyone is Tomelvis, it's litteraly the second rogue world. And you dunno how much luck he had on his rolls. I've seen Woxtoxic getting destroyed in keys by Elem sham and frost DK, by far
with much higher ilvl
Yea but you are comparing broken specs to one that is normally tuned
It doesnt help your argument
FDK will shit on almost any normally tuned spec because its just profanely overpowered
you're dellu if you think outlaw rogue is normally tuned
Not everyone can smoke that many cigarettes please be more realistic
You are the delulu one here
Cigarettes are absolutely disgusting
You are the one that compared FDK to a "normal" spec
But ok, maybe you are sub core
Sub also puts up the numbers
And look at that
Its only beat by fdk by a little bit
Almost as if the core of the issue is with the people playing the specs and not the specs themselves
Very true
The class tuning for M+ in TWW is closer than it has been historically
Naturally the dungeon pool plays a big part of it too
Also very true
Ask your magic 8 ball
It will probably be addressed eventually
Whenever that is
Probably at some point in either midnight
Either that or during or post legion remix
That's one hell of a bullshit lmao.
Even the worst LoL champ all time can be good in the hand of Faker, doesn't make this statement relevant.
Not only you're dependant on your own skill, but also on every other aspect of your key such as your mates, your procc lucks and route.
Tomelvis plays with people his league. They're all world class players average joes can't compare. They manage to pull up numbers with strats and skill despite numerous bugs.
Average joes can take FDK, BM, Fury, DH, any other class and have decent dps.
at this point i'm starting to feel silly telling people to read the tooltips
Why are we comparing league to world of warcraft
cuz that's the easy picture I had in mind
Assassination rogue needs faker hands to be competitive
Incredibly difficult spec
Very deep and complex animation canceling and combos
And I literally just gave you evidence that the specs can pump numbers
best i can do is fake hands while i headbutt the keyboard
For sin it's different, it's just bugged

Ok buddy
You are just a rage baiter lol
Clearly there is no further discussion worth having
I literally just gave you evidence that the rogue specs are doing fine in terms of throughput
And your response is essentially that its not feasible for everybody
Like yea of course its not
Everybody wont be doing +19s
or 20s
You gotta play really well to do those kinds of keys
And by coincidence the rogues doing those keys are playing them really well
Popularity is not the absolute defining metric for a classes performance
All I'm saying is while 50% of people will be able to pull up numbers in every other specs, on the other hand only 0,1% of outlaw will be able to pull up numbers
Bro it feels so bad progging and every 10th pull my cds are just changed by 30 seconds
Your initial argument was specifically in high keys
The people playing outlaw in high keys
Will be playing it properly
Otherwise they wouldnt be playing outlaw
???
Like yea it makes sense outlaw is the least popular spec
Its hard as shit and annoying to play
But its not like it doesnt have output
It does fundamentally have the output to make a place
Counterpoint: I hate outlaw so it’s bad
counterpoint: you a qtpie
no u
I’m gonna kiss you on the lips bbgirl
my point still stands. There's a reason if it's 0.5% usage atm.
What point bro
The reason being that not many people like playing it?
If thats it then yea you do got a point
But that doesnt mean there is an issue with it
The specs have their own audiences
You should take a look at Outlaw chan from time to time. People like Outlaw, just not in its current state
And changing the specs to conform to certain audiences is how you lobotomize a spec and ultimately kill its initial audience
unless you're literally getting paid to compete in RWF, picking a spec for any reason beyond "i like playing it" is brainlet activity
true
I have met very few actual outlaw players
There is only 1 I have ever met of all the rogue players I personally know
The rest play either sin or sub
there's probably a little more analysis to be done there
generally speaking rogue itself is just unpopular, and has been for quite some time
the lean in spec allocation in an already small population does and has typically shifted mostly towards sin, even when other specs are significantly stronger overall
some will say this coincides with "outlaw" as a theme and that people just PREFER "combat" but I've always called bs on that, coz I don't think a significant proportion of players play their spec for THEME more than mechanics. If the timing was to hold true it's likely becuase people generally dislike "uptime" specs.
Sub and outlaw regardless of periodic strength have always struggled for numbers.
I'd normally put this down to iterations of poor intuitive nature. The popularity of ret since it's rework somewhat steelmans this view.
Idk the rogue players I know just have never liked any version of outlaw
They have always stuck with either sub or sin or both
yeah fuck outlaw, respectfully (disrespectfully)
I have heard many reasons, but the most common reason is that it "isnt exciting" since you just mash buttons on cd
Its excitement in a different way
I 100% agree to this.
Tbf I play Outlaw rogue cuz it has high apm gameplay, could be Hannah Montana theme for all I care as long as it has high apm mechanics
The class is just unpopular
And its not exclusively because of throughput limitations
People just dont wanna play rogue
wcyd
there was a time that "combat" was really popular, but it was also when it wasn't so tied to "constant uptime"
GENERALLY speaking though if you're looking at the wow community rather than the ROGUE community... Rogue is just unpopular
people generally steer clear of outlaw and sub save for very tangential and casual engagement - because they're MORE unpopular
Even in S1 when sin was considered "meta" it still didnt quite have major popularity numbers
dark sorrow?
kk
People just dont wanna be a rogue
idk what her name is
wcyd
you know the one
I would actually be content if hunter sucked ass
Maybe I wont see them everywhere
Ret too
nooooooooooooooooo
you can't nerf ret
then they actually just quit the game
and discord
I see no downside to this
even if they're fine
You are supposed to convince me this is a bad idea
Not give me reason to think its a good idea
oh sorry, try this
more ret (like 70% of casual players) means a lot more overall playerbase
this means more money for blizz to not spend on QA
but it also means more money for blizz to make cool xmog
i like cool xmog

A necessary sacrifice to rid the world of ret paladins
Im still seeing no downside to this
hey, i have a few ret pally friends and now im questinong myself why
this felt good for mythic im usually ass XD
True you did play ass rogue on that boss
Well yeah I’d hope you’re ass, that’s the spec
yikes
we are mostly ass here
Unlucky
walked into that one
Should have shadowstepped instead
gonna deathmark myself
@nova kelp
are you the reason for this emoji
Dog WHAT
He asked are you the reason for this emoji
Oh ty for clarifying king
Np
Since there’s been a new pin I assume the bugs have been fixed
And there’s just a new bug
Surely
Teehee
its only a bug if you miss your coinflips
fuck, I hope I was
I mean look at 21 and 22
obviously this is empirical proof that a hunter buff is necessary
also sin rogue needs a nerf clearly
fdk is fine, those are just really good players
I can tell


New pin.. surely.. 
We got a new pin
guys wake up! new sin bug just dropped!
love our defensives being tied to energy
We can't ASK about bug fixes, but can we COMPLAIN about bugs no being fixed? (only joking)
I don’t remember how much energy cloak and evasion cost



my raid comp
finally got home and could add the emotes to my guild server
198.2
Very based
3 warriors is crazy though
feint is like 25 it is minimal i'm just super titled tonight in raid
We have 2 surv hunters on our team
Soul hunters is miserable
luckily its a 5 heal fight so you just put all the ranged in and then whatever is left for melee!
Actually I think we held one of our surv hunters at gun point (asked nicely) and they swapped to BM for SH
honestly, if a hunter hard line refuses to play either of the ranged specs it's kinda a doomer situation
I understand hard railing a spec, but man
that's a roughy
i think i've found the exact image that bliz used to determine who to buff
we just have to hit the 82nd percentile
for buffs
a community enslaved to fotm rolling
ppl without personality
had the same issue with my ex
would you still double mana oil for M+ or would one be bubbling wax at all
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
dont put a space between them
Ty
do people like it?
you are welcome friend
!energy
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.
Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.
thats a surprise 
They are a breed of their own
yeah sin has issues but at least we are not outlaw
Freaks of Nature really
it's not a new bug
shows you how much impact it really has
