aah even better
Yes
we levelled up
Poggers
how important is staying above 50% energy for extra dmg on your bleeds?
Not at all
In AoE its happening naturally cause you get flooded with energy, in ST its not relevant
in ST you definitely should stay above 50% for sanguine blades
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
No you shouldnt

You guys seen the new trading post? 🤔🤨
Is it out already?
Nah, that’s why I am asking
yeah havent seen a post about it yet
THIS MONTH NO TRADING POST BUT INSTEAD ROGUE GET FIXED
*assa get nerfed
outlaw*
it's kind of insane that arcane is still unnerfed
Well its a mage spec
Im surprised they havent buffed fire to oblivion this expansion
I mean everybody was playing fire in undermine
Until they buffed arcane out of the wazoo
i have no problem mage being at the top. I dislike when hybrid classes are at the top (DK)
pure dps classes should be at the top always
thats some classic wow take
I mean does hybrid even exist now
you can't heal as shadow priest
or tank as arms warrior
its mostly a classic wow thing
ye
I dont understand what the hybrid side of a class has to do with the DPS side of a class?
Thats the most cooked take ive heard in a while LOL
Trade off for good utility = less dmg
Dk has good ultilty?
I’d say so yeah
the original thinking was if someone invested into a class that can't be heal/tank, they should be rewarded by being top of the charts. Old school thinking with many flaws
Brez
but now with the ease of making alts it's a non issue
horn of winter back in the day
DKs have literally been key masters the whole season
One frost strike isn’t anything
i mean it inst no. but i feel like even if a class have a lot of utility, this has nothing to do with the DPS side of the class.
All your dmg is mainly from oblits
I dont feel like if you have a lot of utility your DPS needs to be less then other classes
I’m just saying that’s what the logic was for back in the day
Yeah understandable
If you had more utility typically yoi dealt less dmg
Like moonkin & ret
I honestly still think it’s true for those two classes tbh
Moonkin always fkn sucks in raid and ret only sometimes hovers top 5
why not? is it because our tierset is not buffing bleeds like in s2 so it ain't worth it anymore?
We getting reworked in pre-patch
assa back to wotlk rotation is the dream
rupture in between if no other class applied bleeds to boss
Even in season 2 it was not really worth thinking about
DK has been one of the best classes for m+ the entire expansion
and was also one of the best dps classes for S1 AND S3 Raids, and above average for S2

I meant expansion wrote season lol
If I’m in a key a red class is always present, unless it is some stupid fire mage/chicken comp or multi rogue
i mean yeha sure, frost DK is just so busted rn, no reason to not bring one
they were also good in DF
during the augvoker hegemony 
I mean the spec was played despite being forced to use the DnD build
now with the frostscythe it will never stop being played
well yeha, it was strong af the entire time lmao
like, i still think its hilarious how you had DK's cry about "nobody will play DK without a ReAl RaIdBuFf when its not tuned high!!!!" during S2
meanwhile it was not a top raid spec, and Unholy alone had more mythic raidboss kills then all 3 rogue specs combined

i remember hoping on retail after playing wotlk and looking for my HfB after seeing the kit was the exact same lol
even just playing some frost DK this season in m+, just having grip is so insanely nice
having agency as dps is sick
makes rogue lack of utility feel even worse when you go play that
wdym we have blind

btw why is our kick 15s cd just let us kick the shit out of someone
curbstomp rogue new spec
would be sick if single target cc was actually impactful and rogue could shine there
tbf, thats something you notice kinda often if you play something else
think different classes having different niche utility that stand out would be sick
like, you always read "omg solo stuff is so hard with rogue" and it sounds weird cus its SOLO content, aka its trivial by desing
then you play another class and just go "oh yeha, thats what they mean lol"
think raid buffs makes it more of a problem
bc some pro team will find some bullshit strat where a particular class saves them 2 seconds of timer on a +24 key and all the little timmies will only invite that class
but also having classes shine in different keys doesnt sound like a problem to me
but also, i don't feel like rogue has ANY niche utility, since they basically got rid of shroud after giving every add in a dungeon true sight
but yeah I just wish every class I played had dk grip 
like, what are we even doing on keys? sapping? there's like 3 classes that can do the same
caster in narnia? dw team I got him
blind? EVERY spec has some aoe cc
ye I mean stuff like kidney shot isnt relevant in a world of aoe stops either sadly
i'm still mad at ranged players afer doing a HoA the other day
makes dungeons in BfA/SL where youu need to skip stff all the time or you end up with 140% trash
people play rogue shroud and use invis pots
blizz gives everything true sight, and at the same time makes mind soothe reduce enemy aggro range
mindsootthe is now literally shroud but without a CD and working on more stuff

houndmaster in narnia fucking freecasting and they couldn't be bothered to kick it
honestly i feel like at this point the only ONLY thing rogue brings to the table is numbing poison
and even that is just
meh
thats not a unique thing
dk has attack speed slow as a fully passive thing
and warlock has cast speed reduction curse
but ye the difference between melee range kick and a 15 yard kick feels so insane
once you play with both
true
i mean i understand why rogue's kick is not ranged
you´re literally
kicking them
ye
you don´t have 15 feet long legs
and we have the cast restrict which is kinda nice
but i feel like nowadays the secondary effect is not that relevant
you mean mortal wounds? the thing that DH/WW monk apply passively? and Hunter can do with pets aswell? or Warrior?

you mean the lockout?
like, how many dungeons have adds that are perma casting?
not all of them, right?
dk kick 15 yards 3 sec lockout
dh kick 10 yards 3 sec lockout
rogue kick melee range 3 sec lockout
warrior kick melee range 3 sec lockout
oh
dont forget that the DH kick gives offensive resources
and tbh, i dont really understand why they nerfed the rogue kick lockout lol
ye, rogue and shaman was 5sec
classic one is 5 sec atleast idk about the rest
but they nerfed it down to 3sec in DF
We need that mop pvp set bonus as a talent, where kicking gave combo points.
sheesh
It's funny how inconsistent blizz is with that kinda thing
tbf, atleast rogue is one of the classes that doesnt need to skill their interupt
that shit is so cringe
agreed
that it exists in the first place for some lol
kick being baseline very nice
true
Our class tree's middle area is kinda crap tho
warrior kick is also baseline and its melee range
like DH atleast has to take a talent to increase range, and DK has to talent their kick
rogue class tree is kinda dogshit in general
thats not a new thing lmao
Some of the left tree feels like someone ran out of ideas idk
i feel like that's just the entire tree
atleast the capstones are all pretty sick for rogue
its so weird when some classes have mandatory dmg talents in the class tree, while others dont and just have that dmg baked in and isntead get deffensive/utility talents all the time
huh? 
Whoever made auto thistle not a choice node should be slapped.
Imagine CB being KM procs
like the capstones are all good damage nodes, some classes dont even go into their capstones cause they are awful (fury for example)
so they just fill out their trees with utility shit instead
i mean
i feel like capstones should define your talent set
like our does
hey, take icc for dungeons
having capstones be so bad that you don´t ever take them is just
yikes
Most class trees are awful. Least awful is probably mage
like M+ tree for fury for example, you have roar here but you barely press it, and you dont even think about taking any of the capstones
having so many dmg talents IS bad lol
theres just a bunch of dogshit
They are thankfully improving the class trees in Midnight
aka "only played cus its literally forced into fatebound"
Don't worry I'm sure they'll dumb us down to be just as boring as ret paladins.
idk I like that it creates some choice, for example sub choosing between tea or coldblood in m+, last season assa choosing between double vanish or FI
ay
don't talk shit about my boy cb
i loved that dude in classic
the big 127 envenoms were sick
dementia patients deserve better
you can talk shit about thistle tea

like okay what the fuck even is the DK tree, one capstone is extra charge of grip/deaths advance and dnd, the other is a 5% magic DR, AND THOSE ARE THE CAPSTONES YOU TAKE
that shit is boring as fuck
Id argue their tree is designed with spear/roar/avatar as the capstones
So they're using 2/3
thistle tea is suuch a filler talent, its funny, ngl
"fck, we need a talent for rogue and ignored it the entire time again, what do we do?"
"idk, lets take this weird old consumable that wasnt used for 18years and make it a capstone"
only avatar is useful

like you talent roar but you dont even press it

you press it if you have to run out of melee range maybe
ikr, who the fuck asked for tea to come back
probs the same brainlet that brought SnD back
PEAK
let me hit fast
is slice and dice
->proceeds to make assa unplayable on SL launch until they give it a passive extender 
That's literally just a tuning issue though not a tree issue
making rogue unplayable is peak rogue design though
yee I guess
Yeah bro imagine youre just hitting the boss with your auto attacks right, but then you press the divine slice and dice and BAM youre now hitting the mob even faster
How cool is that
the DK tree is horrendously boring though, I will die on that hill after just looking at it
i agree
ngl, SL launch was just such a genuis stroke
like, outside of the extremely bad tuning
you literally had moments where your gameplay was "pull boss, apply SnD->apply bleeds->SnD is running out so you apply it again->rupture runs out so apply it again"

well, and doing less dmg then prot warrior
/j
true
18% aura buff or smth like that
remember when we used a legendary requiring 27 second prepull and talent swaps just so we would be able to cast snd prepull
but also if a boomkin pulled early we'd be stuck with a shitty legendary and lose 20% damage
good times
that's why ppl saying SL was worst expansion ever right ?
people that say SL was the worst expansion ever are dumb
cus WoD exists
and WoD was borderline a scam lol
SL had bad parts but was still a full package
yeah but wod had its moments
Nah man
pvp was great
WoD was literally not even a full expansion lol
WoD was not bad
dw WoD classic on a 12 month cycle will surely be a banger (I never played wod I just like the music)
yeah it had it's good moments
like when it ended
and
that´s it

BUT BRO THE WOD RAIDS
(never played during WoD)
(i quit wod half way through season 1)
ONLY LOGING INTO THE GAME 2x A WEEK AND CLEARING THE SAME RAID FOR A FULL YEAR POG IT WAS SO GOOD THE RAAAAAAIDS!!!!!!
It just lasted too long, stayed too long with HFC

like holy fuck, WoD had literally nothing except 2 kinda good raids lol
no content
nothing
you know what releases in 2 days?
what
nothing ?
naxx on anniversary servers
NAXX OUT 
idk, but in 4 days the new digimon game finally releases and im hyped for that
5 HOURS RAID POG
I dont play anymore but I am hyped to watch my old hardcore guild do naxx
always banger content
DISTRACT STUN LOCK PATCHWERK WHILE ALL IDIOTS TRY TO WALK UP POGGY
hardcore KT is a banger cause its just the most RNG fight of all time
yes
good answer
why do you care? not like rogues gonna get touched
sorry that'll cost a raid tier in midnight
Slice and dice no longer auto applies. There's the change.
God speed
take your 4 bugged hero tree talents and shut up
next season tier set will just be
2pc - whenever you enter combat, you spawn a cuck chair. interacting let´s you sit on it
4pc - your hero tree is disabled
that 4 set finally makes deathstalker play good

I’m wearing 2 pc already
it'll be 2p+2p from this season
to be fair i aint complain much since sin rogue is one of the easiest spec to play
u can play this spec with only one half of your brain
real
i started a MM hunter last week
4 button rotation
i felt like sin was giga brain playing MM
kekw
assa is easy until you play like 70% of other specs and realise how fucking braindead most specs are
and then you kinda cant understand how so many people do no dmg

playing hunter is like starter pack for playing wow
true
honestly only reason i made a hunter is so i can go dark ranger and have sylvanas in my warband lol
Good decision
but it's fun, it's pretty chill and easy

i mean
paladin is braindead
Frost DK is lierally blue ret paladin
Arcane mage got dumbed down like crazy
ele shaman is 3 buttons
Hunter is Hunter
Warlock has 2 specs that literally just go "apply dot->spam burst ability" and demo lock got all nuance removed over the years
WW monk looks complicated until you play it and understand how simple it actually is
Balance druid is the BM hunter of casters
Devestation/Augmentation are 3 button specs
Fury warrior is a ape spec
tanks are tanks
"omg hard gamplay" from a class/spec perspective is not REALLY a thing in wow
isn't WW just LITERALLY no rotation, just APL?
the difficulty is from the encounters
cast abilities as soon as they are up=
not the specs/classes
there is stuff like outlaw yeha, but outlaw is "hard" for the wrong reasons
and then you have sub and have to press 700 buttons in perfect sequence
and then just chill casting 1 backstab every 4 seconds for an entire minute
i love me some backstab soup
tbh sub rotation isnt even that hard
the rotation is relatively static when you do burst
700 (4 buttons)
yeah that part is easy
sub is punishing if you screw it up
but its so static that screwing it up is a bit weird
the "noob" trap of sub is having cds that you arent pressing whenever they are available its the most common mistake i see when log reviewing
how are my lads in the assa channel
i'm falling asleep at work thanks for asking!
slow descent into madness as usual
nice
that sums up almost every spec in the game tbh
sitting on cds = bad
i was literally reviewing someone last night, asking me how to do dmg on soulbinder, the guy just sent everything on cd not lining anything up for adds what so ever
yeah its where sub is different
alot of holding
not really that different tbh
you just need to have 3 cds instead of 1 to be allowed to send it on cd
Oh God he's gonna roll ass
Brace for impact
like sod dance adn sec tech
most classes is just rip on cd
with all their min cds
and it just naturally lines up
for sub you funny enough cant do that
i guess
but if you tell the guy once
that he needs to have the 3 things ready to send
its just about it being intuitive or not
Or wdym i cant macro all those thing together <.>
tbf i made bank during the shadowdust era of sub with coaching and log reviewing
for some reason people really couldnt understand that
Tbh the regular buttons are so few you don’t really need macros
i miss dust ..
People paying for coaching is fucking crazy to me.
bro im so sorry for hurting your feelings
2 button rotation
its ok, we can make out anyway

literally just
install hekili 
Cant people just ask for a log review in here people seems to really helpful in this discord
free coach
i really enjoyed it on prog, on farm it was pure torture
Or just read the damn guides/watch good players on twitch or something
other discords arent as good as this one
thats me with sub
in general
also some people need to be told
i just hate sbu in farm
exactly what to do
im kinda the same
and have someone read a guide out to them
If I'm ever confused by something I just watch a good player do it and I'm like "oh OK that clears it up"
yeah but youre probably smarter than the average person
alot of people have no idea what to look for
reminder that only 20% of players get aotc
I enjoyed experimenting with timers for it on prog, felt like a puzzle to be solved yknow
there's no way
the % is THAT low
I cannot fathom how so much forum drama centers around +2 keys.
it is
that high you mean
And how the leaver penalty evidently is due to that.
only hafl the people playing can get ksm
majority of the people in the game dont set foot in HC
that is insane
i had a person buy coaching
Ghuun broke my aotc streak 🙁
that only did lfr and world quests
majority of players dont do content beyond normal/heroic queue dungeons and LFR mate
I wasn't guilded and pugs were terrible
delves has been a godsend for the average wow gamer
CE must be a crazy low % then
again thats fake
CE is like top 1% of wow
and just think how bad the average RFWL gamer is
1-1,5% of the playerbase
cause its not a % of all wow players
are you saying the number should be higher or lower
its a % of wow players that did enough keys to be in raider io database
its way lower
^
you need to time 2 keys i think to be in raiderio
that inflate it
but then it also probably inflates it the other way around as well
¯_(ツ)_/¯
iirc, 2,7k score is top10% score of players that actually did m+ last season
or smth like that
Isn't twws m+ scene in particular pretty hated
no?
its "hated" by the title pushers
but like
nobody cares about those, espacially not blizz
I remember a lot of drama in s1
cus thats a handfull of people
ye cus for the average m+ player, s1 was "overtuned"
what
its why S2/S3 is so undertuned
I hope we never get another sl dungeon
cus s1 had such a pushback
Imma be real
i dont think high m+ has ever been more enjoyable
Sl had the worst dungeons of all time
No more pls
until they find out they abused some bug and take their title back
season 1 or currently?
i cant believe it took them this long to remove affix's
just current m+ compared to like before affixes
wdym
is "mixed opinions cus of turbo boost and resilient keys making pushing m+ very weird over the entire season" a better way to say it?
you guys don't like
having to eat your party's balls?
m+ stopped being fun after BFA
ye turbo boost is weird af
itspushweek.mp4
Sorry the ghost spawned three packs back enjoy not timing
resilient is onyl weird for low title pushers
which i guess is the majority of title pushers tho
I only play with friends, and even then we only do enough for vault (Maybe 2 slots)
I got 12 resil but that was enough for me
only interaction I have with resilient is seeing people be cringe about it in group finder
I have a genuine question zac, is there a reason to go outlaw besides the raw flex when pushing that high
fun
maybe if u have fun on the spec?
thats all
i play wow for fun
The realest gamer
not if you play wow
i know its like
you play to sweat
Based af
WDYM YOU ARE NOT RUNNING A 24/7 SIM TO GET A 0.0001% DMG INCREASE???
but i still play wow for fun idk
i am
but on outlaw
"removed outlaw, turns it being a spec was a bug"
ngl, for me its more like
man, giga sweating for World of Warcraft out of all games feels so weird lol
"Removed indiscriminate carnage because fuck nathanos"
the game is NOT competitive at all, its insane how serious some people are about some stuff in it lol
NOOOOOOO MY CLEAVE ;-;
BASED BASED BASED
Would assassination even function outside raid lmao
isn't it the best spec for pvp?
nah
Well that too
thats ret
But carnage helps a lot
true
i mean, sin would need a FAT buff for m+ if they removed icc
bc probly half the players wouldn't be able to play it anymore
Imagine they remove a bunch of stuff from outlaw and sin, but ret remains exactly the same.
but once you get used to rupturing manually it's just
idk waht you mean
a comfy talent, not even that important
people do competition on the most random games
fucking most osbscure speedrunning category
like
Banned in zacs chat speedrun
tryharding in games is fun
wow is quite competitive compared to most game lol
i mean
talking more about the weird "im stuck at 3,1k score because im not playing the current FotM" guys 
there's esports, ratings, achievemtns for WF, HoF
I dreamt about assassination buffs
Wow esports scene is sad.
I play to get the lil numbers on warcraft logs dot com to go up 
that incentivises a lot of competition
Numbers you say?
i play to raid with the bois
you guys remember my 5 parse on M Plexus
i got it up
8:12 kill timer on a pug


almost hit the enrage
mf plays around the double heroism
lust prepull lets gooo
idiots couldn't even hit soulbinder tubes with the orbs
i don't know how they could make these fights easier than they already are
pugs are just built different (braindead)
bro fucking
mugzee
was INSANE
progging that boss was SO FUN
killing it felt so good
We unironically struggled more with locken than anyone else
Mugzee went down waaaay faster
most good players are not pugging mythic because they play with their team
so you are kinda doing it with rat alts or people that want loot without looking stuff up
and we are still so early that rat alts cant hard carry the fights with gear bruteforcing
true
Our mugzee strat sucked for parsing but it got results I guess.
Legit only killed one of the drones waves lmao
well the drones got removed from logs
See I didn't know that
Wish they had done the same with rik barrels
to me this will always be funny
That way ranged would have had an excuse to ignore them
what an endboss
!richard
i still think that they had an another phase for that boss during internal testing
didnt get it to work, and just removed it
Sorry i will always be salty about richar reverberations
Mugzee was the true final boss of undermine
Forcing me to go sub bc 13 other players couldn't be bothered to do barrels
Dick Vibrations was a fun time, ngl
Richard had some banger lines
Worst fight in the raid is Stix >.>
Official hypeman is a good title
Locken was harder but fuck stix
I hate random assignment "fuck you, you wipe" mechanics.
I had to take a break in s2, I really disliked the raid
stix felt bad cus everyone had to do mechanics randomly assinged
aka the bane of most guilds
man, even with constant chainpulls i was still topping
but then tank somehow ninjapulls miniboss before last boss with patrol and right side


sprocketman was ass because i'd just randomly die to someone else fucking up and have to sit there watching the pull go on for two more minutes
and we wipe
I will never be able to erase the "RIKA RIKA RIKA RIK REVERB HERE TIME TO GET DOWN" from my head
im boosting sprocket tomorrow

...why
Lmao
people pay for transmog runs
Guys im progging m rashnan any tips
...
Jump off the edge to dodge the acid
PARTY FOUL IN THE BACK
was this one of his voicelines?
yeah
yes

on pull and when he dropped amp
i have turned down dialog
you guys play with voice
so i cant really hear it anyways
You just blot it out
thats crazy
thats how its supposed to be tho
i cant
Zac can't hear peepee shaker over the obnoxiously loud phonk
if u hear your raid lead
Hello! Got a question about the bugs in assassination spec, did they got fixed anyhow? I mean, i still see some of them, like sudden demise not proc'ing
somethings wrong
"Gallwix is gonna FLIP when he sees this"
how else am i supposed to know when i have something on cd if i can't hear my dude say I CAN'T DO THAT YET
thanks!
??
that only happens in overworld tho
I like how the raids have special death effects
100% sound cues
Like how falling off for lock has that torrent of blood, and dimensius just vaporizes your ass.
In raid? Rly
Maybe i should do the same to giga focus no cappy cippy cop

Same but mostly because I haven’t had to do fuck all this tier
Especially on hunters and Fract
I just shadowstep in and go to my little cuck corner on Fract
does turbo boost unlock trinekts in the same way as vault for myth raid?
aka, does soulbinder unlock loom trinkets
So if you have killed frac and but not soul hunters
you cant get a chip to get the boots
raid kills are account wide, but resilient is character wide?
Raid kills are char wide

It doesn’t follow vault rules?
nope
On HOA, is it better to take anti-heal poison for miniboss or it's big damage lose ?
Swap to anti, and then swap back after
so it's better to swap ?
Yeah
@quasi pine u see
And take the improved wound talent poison
if you want to be really cheeky
you can swap to wound 5seconds before the heal
Its different because it requires you to kill the boss
and the vault doesnt do that
Fair, just figured blizzard would keep to the same pattern
But it’s blizzard
gotcha
But the sim won't show much difference
its just 6 items levels op top of the items
so my mythic netherprism is now 1.2% upgrade
it will prob go to 1.7% ish
Yeah, this isn't causing a shakeup in what's best, it's just making the best better typically
I have to suffer a full set of 12s though, idk if I really want to suffer that when this is the last major patch and Legion Remix is right around the corner
What i would suggest is capping all your crest ( also the lower ones) if you want to be a degen. and turn them for gilded when its 17 oct
isn't it the same? bc the H prism also gains more ilvl?
More item level is more main stat
that it gives
Or what do you mean
yeah but H prism also gains more main stat
Yeah. but i got H prism already
i feel like an upgrade difference of ~50% is a bit too much
and mythic right now is 1.2% upgrade for me
with 6 more item levels it will be a bit more
how much exactly we dont know
but around the 1.7 im sure
makes sense
And im killing frac mythic on this reset
So im set already if i dont get it from the loot

Myth + Turbo will be 729?
oh you can do that
das for me tho
wait let me ping the person
me
I mean yeah, you can manually put in ilvls
2% upgrade LETS GOOO
710 prism
You can put manual item levels in raidbots
Jay you are a blessing bro
holy moly, thats smart. Thx for the help

I have a question regarding DM, if you reapply garrote/rapture after DM does it mess up your DM or is it ok to do it? I sometimes forget to reapply before DM and wasn t sure if it matters. Thx
It do be ok
Don't force trying to refresh bleeds before dm
Although if you get raptured before pressing dm that could change things
the only thing that really matters is improved garrote for dungeons
so ideally in that case you reapply it with <2s remaining
or vanish and garrote after deathmark
looking for the daily "Is [Many passive] fixed yet?" to get my daily chuckle
Hey, what are the best trinkets for m+?
a passive and a 2min active or prism
with my gear, simms recommend me antenna and signet 717, but im getting better numbers with prism 710
are you simming on dungeon slice?

if this happens you dont have to think about much
only the sins you've committed in life
Hey everyone 👋 Struggling with the bleed build during mythic+ during the trash packs I seem to do fine, I've gotten up to 15-20m DPS during some pulls. However, once the boss hits and it's time to kill a single target, I drop tk an abysmal 1-2m DPS. I'm sitting around 701-ish item level and I have my 4 piece. Any best guesses for what I'm doing wrong here?
your tank isn't pulling adds onto boss
Nothing
Our ST sucks, either have the tank pull a pack into boss or suffer
Man, that feels so bad 😭☠️
You will likely have some optimizations on your rotation but nothing major to make it much better
it feels great with a good tank
We're able to push 10s pretty normally, we're starting to tease into 11s and up. I also usually tank and assassination is kind of my off spec, so I guess as a tank I should be pulling adds to the boss then eh ☠️😂
arcane / assass / dh
1-2 million sounds pretty low. Is this with cooldowns?
all pop off if you pull onto bosses
1-2m is kinda low tho, yeah
Yeah, I know I kind of suck at using shiv but yeah popping CDs and trinkets
Yeah if you aren’t using shiv properly your damage is going to be bad everywhere
Shiv is going to be pool energy, shiv, envenom dump during the debuff yeah?
it's more the bleeds
How so?
look what shiv does, and why we call it the bleed build
I dont know why but got a feeling that the Bugs will Star untill Midnight
u dont pool energy
shiv at least to not cap charges, and try and use it with amps, so in st,m that's during deathmark, and below 35%
i want something like the arms warrior, stacking execute damage that gets consumed once they get to low hp
ngl that would be cool
give me more "assassination" stuff
i feel we had that at one point
something that made bleeds tick faster but it wasnt dm
yeah, that was exsanguinate
yeah that
general concensus was no to exsang tho
had snapshotting and weird rules around tuning
imagine like a bleed collapse from surrounding targets into a prio mob
might be too much funnel lol
all we'll actually get is 2 of the 3 tier sets as our new talents, class and hero
I genuinely think that blizzard is trying to reduce everything and make things way more simpler. If you look at the past iterations of Assa.
it feels more in depth than BFA
We have something kinda of like it and it’s fucking awful lol
Beside the bugs I actually enjoy this iteration of Assa but I do hear from people that a few expansions ago there was way more to it then it is now
Stack for 10 years and enough damage to kill a critter
if it wasn't a hero talent thing it might be useable
i just want capstone choice nodes
is probably more what i would say
fatal intent would have been a great talent in 2009
I wonder if alpha comes next week there is changes to our tree. i don
think so
but who knows
when white hits were still top dmg in ur breakdown
It really should have been some ramp like effect that actually did damage the longer you stayed on a target and along with execute range interaction. Could have made ST more bearable in keys for bleed as well
"per combo point spent on attacks against the target"
With out a singular point for payoff but consistent damage ramp
Idr the tooltip
In the end .1% of a parse for 5 minutes so relatively useless
first deathmark after 35% health lasts for # more seconds per x cp spent on bleeds against target
That would be giga OP
probs incentivise rupture spam
not a great thing
you could make it a choice node with DTB or KB
Speaking of kb
I stg if our apex talents revolve around kb I riot
What would you want the apex talents to be
what if the apex talent is kb is now a bleed
bleed or poisons are getting got in midnight
They said every apex talent is gonna be a must take in a interview
so im really curious
but gonna be a while before we gonna see them
how do you guys get your caustic to be more damage than other spells?
monkey paw curls
Monkey paw, 3 apex talents for envenom
i keep my uptime up alot
new apex talent hunger for blood
More envenoms

more uptime
new bleed style inquisition buff
rogue apex talent - "poisons now have no duration and no longer need to be applied"
i would howl
1 talent point per extra envenom overlap

if that would be the case
One is Shiv, One is Tea and the other is a Minigame
5x envenom overlap!!!
loll

One gives back snd 
Envenom can now stack to infinity and poisons can also stack and actually we lost the plot on envenom’s buff uptime after legion and it kind of just exists now but we got no clue just enjoy green eviscerate doing 40% of your damage please
i wonder how absolutely off chops this discord would go if we went back to having to maintain SND with it's actual button
Apex talent slice and dice
yo i actually just cooked
new apex talent 
they should dramatically reduce energy regen so we actually play around envenom uptime again
bring me back

no
it is 2025 we go fast now
SND gains a stacking buff per melee attack while not on the player. after activating snd the player rapidly pokes it's target letting lose all stored stacks as attacks

dear realz,
Apex talent:
Carnage now also affects deathmark
ONE EXSANGUNATE PLEASE
kb now drains your energy every second, but has infinite stacks, will end once your energy hits 0
oh wait we had that

I can already tell,
Its oct 23, @balmy condor wakes up, get out of bed. gets a monster, get a water, brush his teeth, turns on his PC. logs into midnight alpha. sees our new apex talents and the first thing he says:
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DOGSHIT
Hiya, this is absolute dogshit*
Apex talents will bang
I actually have a really long record of being positive about new stuff
Trust
I just love your rants bro. it's actually really insightful
And it just kinda falls apart because of small things
3 Weeks and we know
All I’m hearing is we need Whispyr to be hyper critical of new stuff from now on, to break the cycle
i know peeps may disagree, but i want more to do on ST
guys whispyr is already plying alpha dont make him have to act it up anymore in here!
also wouldn't mind normalising our dot timers
What do you mean with normalising
But like going back I don’t think I’ve been overly negative on anything released in the last like 3 expansions outside of saying the s1/s2 tier sets are super boring
like, garrote being more in line with a higher cp rupture etc
Nah i did not mean it in a way that you are overly negative because you are not. i just love your rants about certain stuff
Lower dot durations bigger damage 
Casting dots with higher cp actually lowers duration
Less envenoming then

We are also getting 3 more points in the class tree. mabye we can go overcharged all the time now
WAT
loll
?
10 combo point cap?
without a trace
I don't think you'd take that in st even with 3 more points
i wonder if it will mean we take wat, and go MA build again
Actually real
You take cold blood
Ye that's what I figured
Which is boring
But we already do on FB.
Coldblood is going away with midnight
for hotblood
!bugs
This thing is really good if they just fix this small little part about it
Then it just never gets fixed for 2 years
it already is used that way
Yeh except it doesn’t do anything on deathstalker and you can’t macro it

Yeah and then I complain that it doesn’t get fixed and I’m big Mr angry rude negativity all the time 
but wouldnt it mean we do this on FB with 3 extra points?
make thistle coffee, and instead of mastery it gives crit
Coldblood ambush garrote rupture opener pog
Correct
I'm taking shadowheart with my points
The cynic in me is convinced more than half of the tiersets from this tier are going to end up as part of the new talents in the hero talent trees 
You have a little crush on shadowheart bel?
I absolutely believe this
I wouldn’t actually mind that, the s3 sets for assa are cool and epic
Some tier set bonuses i wouldn't mind
Whats the coolest tier set bonus of all time for assa
