It’s…..something either trick the tank or trick a non tank for a short dmg boost

blazing totem
#

dont think this was worth it tho

wooden basin
#

Old tricks feelswowman

blazing totem
#

back in the old ways, it was meant to increase the threat generated by the target so more dmg

#

obviously it is kinda counterproductive to drop on fellow DPS cuz you push his threat xD

#

but they could tweak it

#

or yk

#

just give us the damn smoke bomb back

#

that was at least one raid cooldown we had going for us

#

but they took it and gave it to DH basically lol

weary spear
#

They have a hard time giving rogue a bigger kit due to PvP I think. Lust, brez, or raid buff would work tho

royal lantern
#

but....rogue has not really a special kit for pvp....?

#

im pretty sure warrior and paladin have more PvP based things for like a decade now

weary spear
#

Agreed

#

Idk

#

Damage balancing is one thing but kit balancing rogue feels behind

wooden basin
#

I do feel for pvp players when I say this but I really believe it should be true

#

They should stop developing for PvP

weary spear
#

Dk and lock kind of in the same boat but at least they have brez

wooden basin
#

making any decision with pvp in mind when it is such a marginal population is stupid

royal lantern
#

DK and warlock have absoluely insane toolkits, wdym lol

weary spear
#

Raid buff I mean

royal lantern
#

i mean, same really

#

Warlock is 1 of the God Classes in Raids anyway, iirc Warlock is literally the #1 Class for Raiding since the Game exists, and there is always 1-2 fights that need gateways

#

and DK is basically always tuned very high, is unkillable, ignores half the mechanics by default and there is always 1-2 fighs where atleast 1 DK is a hard requirment dracthyr_kek

weary spear
#

Damn true

royal lantern
#

like, they literally had to change how AMZ works because stacking DK's was so stupid effective

blazing totem
royal lantern
#

the only group that ignores PvP more then WoW players themself, is blizzard lol

blazing totem
#

They did mention that so clearly they do

#

or they just use it as an excuse

wooden basin
royal lantern
#
  • again, what does rogue even have that would "not allow stuff because of PvP"
#

the class has no special PvP things lol

blazing totem
#

beats me

hexed frost
#

At this point, I'm pretty sure blizzard will just remove caustic spatter before 12.0.5

royal lantern
#

like

#

back in 2006 where Kidney and cheapshot where a insane thing? yeha sure i gues

hexed frost
#

From 40-35-15

royal lantern
#

but its 2026

#

lol

weary spear
#

Tryan do you think class kits could use some balancing in PvE

wooden basin
#

Atrophic gets memed and usually rightfully so

#

But it does something

#

I wish we had more of a raid buff though

blazing totem
#

in some cases it's just DR for your tank when he is getting smacked by AAs, which is for prog but then kek

#

well in general the dmg reduction is good for prog

#

but then people just want dmg

#

and dont rly care

wooden basin
#

Yeah

#

We are already the least played class by a pretty big margin

#

I really am surprised that we haven’t gotten a second look at our toolkits

#

Ah maybe evoker is less played

#

But it’s between the two

#

Forgot about monk!

wanton spear
# wooden basin lol

is that just counting windwalker monks? i thought brew & mw was pretty popular

spice surge
#

If you look at max level characters only then rogue is quite a bit behind monks

wooden basin
wanton spear
#

feel like it would be pretty difficult to get an actual count, i mean doesn't everyone have a random rogue alt. at least everyone i know does, none of the play it but they just have them.

#

should have like an io score minimum to actually get a count

hexed frost
# wooden basin lol

At this point, blizzard has killed almost any class fantasy around rogues except for lockpicking and pickpocketing (more or else useless in end game PvE). Ferals and hunters also get stealth/invis so nothing unique. Only saving grace is damage output, even that is gg i guess. Until unless someone is hardcore sadomasochist , idk why would they pick rogue.

wooden basin
#

I think rogue is looking better than it has in a while, class fantasy well that’s subjective but yeah

honest sand
#

@wanton spear mw is the least played healing class in mfo behind even pres

wanton spear
#

honestly tho, can we have our wotlk unique stuff back, like bring back pickpocket being a real thing, guys remember when we had shady dealer

wanton spear
honest sand
#

Yeah they make mfo a lot easier

weary stump
tender surge
# wooden basin lol

Evoker would be more popular if it 1 it had a transmog and 2 didn't look like a furry fetish class.

#

Dracthyr look astoundingly bad

#

Stop making races and classes that are immune to transmog

frank trench
royal lantern
#

man

#

why do people say that

#

when like, Draknoids exists and literally are Bara Bait

frank trench
#

Evoker is VERY satisfying to play

royal lantern
#

Dracthyr are just the typical blizzard "cool concept that then gets dropped after a single patch"

#

which they LOVE to do

tender surge
royal lantern
#

remember when they said "tiersets will be displayed and you will unlock more barbershop stuff later"?

umbral rock
#

Honestly if they made it so Evoker functioned like other Dracthyr casters, where you could be in Visage and cast all spells (the animations already exist on the Visage model). It would be far more popular

royal lantern
#

i mean yeha

#

but also

#

fuck that

tender surge
#

I mean it's fine, go fuck a girl in a fursuit this is America, but similar to pandaren it doesn't look "warcraft" that's why Chen was a joke character lol

royal lantern
#

dont need MORE elves and humans running around

#

the game is allready World of Elfcraft enough

umbral rock
#

I feel like Visage form looks unique enough but it does have the same animation base as Human so I feel ya

royal lantern
#

(the only thing Sylvanas did wrong was not finishing the Job with the nightelves)

frank trench
#

This is why I have five mechagnomes

royal lantern
tender surge
#

How about tieflings

#

We already have manari tbf

royal lantern
frank trench
#

My mechagnome mogs are my favorite mogs :0

tender surge
#

This is Europe go fuck a girl in a fursuit with free Healthcare

tender surge
royal lantern
#

and they look really good

#

but thats kinda it kekdog

frank trench
#

lol can I pm you my mog 😄

#

I don’t wanna post it to channel lol

tender surge
#

Is it cuz the baby diaper?

frank trench
#

No I feel like someone will slap me or something

tender surge
#

Oh is it baby diaper + slut mog+

royal lantern
#

whatever it is, we had it worse

frank trench
#

Ok ignore the talking by two people in discord

marsh fjord
#

WTF IS THAT

frank trench
#

My rogue

#

Alt my main is undead

marsh fjord
frank trench
#

He puffs out alot of smoke in combat

wintry vapor
#

My rogue's a mechagnome, as well

#

Just less overgeared

royal lantern
wintry vapor
#

It looks very cool, yeah

frank trench
#

It looks really funny with killing spree

minor pendant
#

yo do we keep snd up ?

marsh fjord
minor pendant
#

thanks

#

<3

frank trench
#

So question.🙋 what do you guys do in situations where there are two mobs. Like in a m+ do you crimson tempest to only move one bleed?

#

I feel like trying to keep bleeds up on just one additional Mob is too energy starving

#

With ct

#

Or just let spatter spatter or manually apply the bleeds?

balmy condor
#

You CT

night delta
#

Is there a verdict on if FoK > Mut in 2 target scenarios ?

#

Or roughly equivalent

balmy condor
limber yoke
#

is it only me or is assassination really bad in prepatch?? In raids I am always at the bottom. It was not like that before!

gritty laurel
#

prepatch tuning is a meme, check back when season 1 starts

placid snow
#

I basically stopped playing the pre-patch. Hopefully we perform better in S1

buoyant herald
#

It cannot be stressed enough that there is zero tuning for pre patch. It’s not meant to be balanced. You’ve also got a pruning and a stat squish and a bunch of spec redesigns

coral ibex
#

i paused my sub for feb bc the next few weeks are 100% fake

fleet whale
#

Is there anytime where secondary poison may be used or is it just a bad talent?

balmy condor
#

It’s utter shit

fleet whale
#

Shame, I actually sort of like the concept behind it

#

But limiting it to just ST is a bit ehh

#

I been doing 12/15s and that’s been a little brutal.

#

Def need that energy boost from the apex I think. Once I burn through teas I feel like I am on a deserted island searching for energy to drink.

#

Can keep all bleeds up and spread but getting out envenoms is brutal

#

Like I want to see once beta is pushed to live if we will have to play around teas. If you know you have a massive couple of pulls coming up like in priory where you back to back some huge groups if you have to conserve energy and teas before those pulls so you aren’t bone dry for the second big pack.

buoyant herald
#

Stack haste, good for the bleed damage as well, might help

#

Fatebound also gets a bit more energy at cap

lean plover
#

haste doesnt solver energy issue

#

not even an issue

#

its the spec design

balmy condor
frank trench
#

Overall spec feels great though ❤️

#

Very engaging def my top rogue spec pick

Fell like atm its my top choose it have just enough to keep me engaged

magic summit
balmy condor
#

I didn't play assa at all until legion

#

played mostly outlaw

#

well, combat

#

then it was outlaw and I didn't play it much

#

played slightly more sub than assa until like dragonflight?

#

then I was assa main

#

and I hardly played any sub in TWW

magic summit
#

oh yeah, fair enough. That’s fair. I was a Mw main for 12 years then moved to augmentation and now I’m playing road

#

Man, I miss the old combat rogue…I didn’t like it when it changed to outlaw…glad I finally settled on SIN lol

But then again, I didn’t play for legion or bfa so…idk

drifting cloud
#

mine isnt that bad for 20 years garf most of the alts are just mount farming hours

#

warr/monk were split alts in legion and bfa

I think I will try this addon tonight

finally some metrics, i can calculate your hours played and parses I will be compiling data for you all in my folder

balmy condor

should be part of the application process

#

it took you how long to 99 average?

#

earnest remnant
#

i only raid log in wow so my playtime is fairly low

#

never just have the game open

balmy condor
#

realest shit you've ever said

most of my play time is from DF

for race changes

i do not!

drifting cloud

dm stealthi for free gold

earnest remnant

never know when i might need it (i will never need it)

drifting cloud
#

for lvling boosts for your 25 split chars when you join method/echo

earnest remnant
#

im too old for that

#

ship has sailed

nimble tartan

72m wow

#

i have 100k

#

no bitches

#

no mogs

#

no mounts

drifting cloud

should have gone hard this season omr

earnest remnant
#

made most of it in SL

drifting cloud
#

ive seen people with 15 maxxed out chars boosting

earnest remnant
#

from doing key boosts

drifting cloud
#

they probably making 10mil+ a week

#

well were before prepatch

nimble tartan
#

im a brokie

barren yarrow
balmy condor
#

we do

barren yarrow
#

ok so im not an idiot

#

ty king ❤️

balmy condor
#

I just don't know what that has to do with tea KEKL

barren yarrow
#

has their been a time that classes have been this simple?

balmy condor
#

pre-cata

barren yarrow
#

oh word

#

lol, RWF just got more interesting. No one can sweat now.... what will happen!

balmy condor
#

vanilla mage was deadass like 2 buttons and one of them was a cooldown

#

they can still giga sweat

barren yarrow
#

true.

#

rupture is gone with sub btw, learned that today.

#

Flag is gone

balmy condor
#

correct

barren yarrow
#

at this point one button rotation feels 10/10 lol

balmy condor
#

it still sucks pretty hard

barren yarrow
#

oh facts

balmy condor
#

basically unplayable on sub as far as I understand

bleak sleet
barren yarrow
#

yeah its gross

bleak sleet
#

so ty

bleak sleet
barren yarrow
#

lol

balmy condor
#

I'm going to overhaul your rotation page so you have to rewrite it

#

watch it bugboy

bleak sleet
#

sounds like more hourly Gladge

balmy condor
#

flat rate Gladgi

barren yarrow
#

do you think blizz will come with more clarity of what theyre going todo with us?

balmy condor
barren yarrow
#

watching your vid theres some energy concerns

balmy condor
#

I mean my energy concerns are that the apex gives too little and the spec is too fast baseline

#

but it's not inherently "wrong"

barren yarrow
#

i see

#

misunderstood

balmy condor
#

I just think it would've been better had they targetted the tuning differently

bleak sleet
#

🌉

balmy condor
#

like without the apex talent there's no point in chaining or pooling or managing energy at all

#

and that's their core stated concept for assassination

#

and playing the apex talent correctly is like 1.5% dps at most

#

which to me is like

#

okay

#

core rotational concept for 1.5% dps

barren yarrow
#

ehhh, doesnt scream end game "apex talent"

balmy condor
#

bit limp dick

#

the apex talent is worth like 8%

#

it's not the talent value

bleak sleet
#

y'all take your apex?

balmy condor
#

it's the value of playing it correctly

bleak sleet
#

crazy

balmy condor
bleak sleet
#

Jaydaa is doing it for me dw

barren yarrow
#

right, but 1.5% isnt something insane but its a bonus?

balmy condor
#

my devourer doesn't have enough haste to even press that button if I wanted to

barren yarrow
#

idk ill have to get on the PTR lol

bleak sleet
#

rip lil gup

balmy condor
#

envenoms uptime is so stupid high

#

that you just don't get half the value

#

like full brain off slamming envenom you'd be at like 85-90% uptime in season 1 gear

#

that would be playing it "incorrectly"

barren yarrow
#

ok ill read up on it. Pre patch we have like 5 seconds?

balmy condor
#

nothing changes

barren yarrow
#

ok

balmy condor
#

it's 1s per cp I think

#

but it's stupid high

#

and there's no twist the knife anymore

#

so it doesn't stack either

barren yarrow
#

oh wow ok thats why its "easy"

balmy condor
#

2.5 years of moving towards fixing envenom's fucking problems

#

and they just deleted everything

barren yarrow
#

hahaha

balmy condor
#

immediately back to infinity uptime buff with zero effort

#

and you just stop casting envenom for the apex talent

#

core rotational concept my ass

barren yarrow
#

that doesnt make sense at all

#

but ill have to read what apex talents do lol i didnt do that yet

balmy condor
#

in big enough aoe you just have too much energy even with all the nerfs

#

so you just ignore the apex talent

barren yarrow
#

wow

balmy condor
#

cause you'd end up overcapping anyway

#

and there's no point in optimizing an energy talent if you're overcapping it

barren yarrow
#

right

balmy condor
#

now, granted you need like

#

really big aoe

#

but it definitely can happen in like plant pull on algethar and stuff

#

like it's not just a theoretical thing

#

I think the worst part of all of the energy/pooling/whatever gameplay stuff

#

is that the cracks now only get worse with more gear

barren yarrow
#

yeah ive noticed and i might be talking about something separate but in pre patch pulling more mobs > bleeds = way more energy then less but if CT caps after like 5-6 targets what do we benefit from>

balmy condor
#

by season 3 we're either stacking haste until some breakpoint and then ignoring talents

#

or we're untalenting energy talents to try and slow down

#

or we're just forcibly avoiding haste to try and keep it down

barren yarrow
#

omg math gymnastics lol

balmy condor
#

fuck ass game

barren yarrow
#

runescape here i come

balmy condor
#

if you have more targets you just keep pressing ct

#

and keep spreading

#

why would it cap at 5-6

barren yarrow
#

because after the first 2 mobs does it goto 2 more indefinitely? or does it eventually go 1 by 1?

balmy condor
#

it spreads to 2 targets every time you press it, and it prioritizes targets without bleeds

barren yarrow
#

ah ok

balmy condor
#

if you have 21 targets, you apply to main target, 20 left

#

and you can just CT 10 times in a row

#

and get it to the other 20

#

(obviously you'd dump combo points, but like, ya know)

barren yarrow
#

and the application goes off the timer set on the mob your currently targeted?

#

timer being bleed

balmy condor
#

it copies the longest duration

barren yarrow
#

ohhh ok just w/e the longest is

balmy condor
#

so if you apply to your main target, and let it tick to like idk, 23 seconds

#

and then press ct

#

it would apply 23 seconds

barren yarrow
#

no wonder I do no damage in M+ right now lol

balmy condor
#

so all the bleeds are synced

barren yarrow
#

ive been stopping CT after 1-2 mobs because In my head there wasnt a point in doing it more

balmy condor
#

yeah that's troll as shit

barren yarrow
#

but then im brain dead like where is my energy

#

yeah i suck

balmy condor
#

okay well it won't fix your energy really

barren yarrow
#

and i paid for coaching

balmy condor
#

but yeh

barren yarrow
#

heh

balmy condor
#

1 energy per tick

#

you'd need uh

#

a lot

#

of mobs

barren yarrow
#

yeah

#

i liked last season, felt alot better

#

infinite

balmy condor
#

yeah they're trying to make energy matter in aoe

#

but it didn't quite work out garf

#

it's the thought that counts I guess

barren yarrow
#

yeah i feel like a starving energy crackhead

balmy condor
#

and that's technically where the apex would come in

#

but the apex also isn't really strong enough to "fix" that

barren yarrow
#

yay us

balmy condor
#

and at the same time is entirely pointless in big aoe

#

so it's a failure both ways

barren yarrow
#

omg

#

lmao, so ive been playing rogue since DF season 3 and after the combat = outlaw change so i didnt know about rogue earlier in these years but why in the hell do we have the most issues when theres so little we ACTUALLY do in terms of damage lol

#

the earliest i played rogue is when indescriminate carnage was a button

balmy condor
#

prepatch tuning is just nonexistant

barren yarrow
#

so blizz just slaps stuff together, calls it "pre patch" and lets everything go wild? lol then enough ppl get tired of it and they do something?

balmy condor
#

correct

#

blizzard loads all the midnight changes meant for level 90

#

onto the level 80 characters

#

and then walks away

barren yarrow
#

multi dollar company

balmy condor
#

and then on tuesday, all the tuning meant for the level 90 characters at endgame

#

just gets dropped onto the level 80 characters

desert crest
#

They bid of more they can chew for sure

balmy condor
#

but we're missing talent points in the class tree, hero talent tree, and the apex talents

#

so the tuning doesn't really make much sense

barren yarrow
#

yeah no idea why they would do that. Isnt midnight released like in march?

balmy condor
#

the other really fun part is that the 3 points we're getting on the class tree right

desert crest
#

yub

balmy condor
#

you can't use them in the bottom third of the tree

#

they're purely for the top 2 sections

desert crest
#

You would think someone would catch that

#

and fix it

balmy condor
#

no, that's by design

#

on purpose

#

but that means the point requirements to open the gates has to change

barren yarrow
#

they use people like whispyr to spot it and get free help

balmy condor
#

or else the gates would open at the same point requirement, and you'd have those 3 extra points

#

with the patch on tuesday, the gate requirement changes

balmy condor
#

so we're essentially just losing 3 points in the bottom part of the class tree

#

so you get here

desert crest
#

It really seems like housing + changing all specs + addons was a bit much for a single expac

balmy condor
#

and then you're out of points

desert crest
#

But i guess who knows maybe they pull trough at the finish line

balmy condor
#

so get ready for tuesday's patch, you kinda lose class tree points

#

and we're getting like all sorts of fuckass tuning

#

unholy is getting basically a rework

#

new talents and stuff

#

prepatch part 2

#

this time with double the jank

mint urchin
#

It's okay the only thing that happens in prepatch is a bunch of people making alts based on beta tier lists that will get nerfed and then dropped on raid week

fleet whale
#

imagine not running Kingsbane in Midnight

#

how bad would that be?

mint urchin
#

What would you even drop KB for?

grave osprey
#

uhdk getting another rework after the rework!?

fleet whale
#

i remember back in MOP, windwalker got a new mastery like every patch

stiff fern
#

Yeah I appreciate the frustration about prepatch being weird and this is probably a bit long for a prepatch

#

But there's nothing going on atm, if there's a time for things to be weird, it's now

fleet whale
#

I think part of the reason is why this pre-patch is weird is that they launched some class changes that didn't match the up to date beta build

stiff fern
#

Yeah the dev branch split is also weird

#

But in the end midnight launch is what matters

balmy condor
#

blizzard and shit version control

#

a tale as old as time

#

I don't understand why they have beta, ptr1, ptr2, a dev ptr, and an internal build

#

like

#

what a fucking nightmare

wooden basin
#

Midnight lunch..

lethal turtle
#

What did I miss. UHDK dying next week?

balmy condor
neon burrow
#

was looking through some of the FAQ and saw that we don't really play around the envenom buff uptime. Question though, would that be an energy pooling opportunity to try and maximize the uptime of the buff and envenom when its at like 1 sec left? or do we just always send envenom with 5+ CP?

balmy condor
#

Envenoms buff might as well be a passive

neon burrow
#

hm, that's unfortunate. It'd be a cool mechanic to play around

royal lantern
#

well, they try to push it sometimes

#

but to push that the buff would need a lower duration overall

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

and at the same time it kinda clashes with the "midnight specs are supposed to be playable and optimized for the average forum user" thing they do

#

so we have this weird middle ground that does neither kekman

balmy condor
#

Ye

#

Envenom is just a billion% uptime and when they try to make it not a billion% uptime they rip it back out later

#

Like twist the knife

#

Twist the knife wasn’t perfect but it at least was an attempt

#

And now we’re just back to infinity uptime for some fuckass reason

royal lantern
#

and a big problem is also always

having to play around envenom uptime would mean you having GCD's where you do nothing

#

and like

#

99% of the playerbase HATES that

#

and is very very vocal about hating that

balmy condor
#

So… the thing we have anyway?

royal lantern
#

blizz is somewhat trying to push it, and most just....dont want it really, which ones again creates this weird middle ground where both sides are kinda unhappy kekman

balmy condor

Yeah well

#

Eat rocks

#

Idk

#

Forum idiots

neon burrow
#

so instead of playing around the uptime of a buff and wait for GCDs, we wait for GCDs while our energy comes back?

balmy condor
#

Yeah right now you just don’t care about any of it

#

And then with the apex you envenom 5x and wait for the buff to drop

#

Except sometimes when you don’t cause you have too much energy to do that

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

1.5%

royal lantern
#

ngl, thats 1,3% more then i expected

balmy condor
#

To be fair, it’s like a bit more energy than dashing scoundrel

#

It’s not nothing

oblique sorrel
#

I see all these rogue experts posting on the forums and none of them play rogue

#

Half of them are under 3k

balmy condor
#

Forum posters are the biggest experts in the community

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

They’re actually such expert geniuses that they think class discord theorycrafters are just far less knowledgeable

oblique sorrel
#

You write the guides lol

balmy condor
#

I remember I wrote an editorial about the bleed build in m+

#

And someone went into the comments and was like

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Whispyr is completely wrong, assa is about THE POISONS

bronze marsh
#

I purely exist on the forums to ragebait and I've gotten pretty good

balmy condor
#

I think about that guy a lot

#

I hope he’s doing good

oblique sorrel
#

I got to 3300 of your bleed build so yeah reading those guys comments is mind blowing

bronze marsh
#

that's Mafic and Saifu's territory I'm just there to stir pots

oblique sorrel
#

Your all up in there

#

lol

bronze marsh
#

that bm hunter guy was having a blast

balmy condor
#

I haven’t gotten a Tomrus comment yet

bronze marsh
#

he pops up on some of the general posts

royal lantern
#

isnt tomrus only in news posts

bronze marsh
#

always an event lol

balmy condor
#

That would complete my wowhead EGOT

drowsy hollow
#

I honestly would love if Deathstalker was one day a pure poison hero tree haha, but Sin's not bad right now

royal lantern
#

class based stuff is way too much MADE FOR THE TOP 1% for tomrus

oblique sorrel
#

That pally Arahgon is the biggest troll of all case closed

bronze marsh
#

nah

#

but he can get under Mafic's skin real nice

oblique sorrel
#

I wanna see his rogue

bronze marsh

he lurks, might see him pop up now and again

oblique sorrel

His raider io is hidden on his pally 2.7k phenom

Is it over 365 days

drowsy hollow
#

I was actually shocked rogue wasn't my least played class somehow

nova kelp
bronze marsh
#

I didn't realize my paladin was that far ahead of the others but it was the literal only toon I played from like late bc until maybe late wrath

#

didn't even make my rogue until maybe dragon soul patch?

nova kelp
#

that's just 1 server

bronze marsh
#

also I thought I played a fair bit but a lot of yall blow me out of the water lol

oblique sorrel
#

Dang

drowsy hollow
#

I struggle so hard to play the pure dps classes. Maybe they'll add the rogue tank one day.

nova kelp
#

the crazy thing is, this fucking addon doesn't account for characters that have been deleted

#

I feel sick

drowsy hollow
#

I rarely ever delete mains

bronze marsh
#

yeah if it did my playtime would be like 2.5-3 years probs

oblique sorrel
#

That’s because the get smashed by hybrid classes for some reason. Or any new class of spec

bronze marsh
#

instead of 1.8

nova kelp
#

my hunter bar should be twice as long, the dh and shaman bars are DEFINITELY longer

bronze marsh
#

I'd have like triple+ the druid playtime bc of resto

drowsy hollow
bronze marsh
#

and probs double shaman

nova kelp
#

pure dps has it's benefits, mostly the avoidance of "do you have tank/heal set?"

#

I'm dps, I do dps, making me do other roles is kinda... invalid
even if I was a good tank or healer, losing out on me in a dps role is a loss

oblique sorrel
#

Tanking is fun

nova kelp
#

so I like just avoiding the issue entirely

oblique sorrel
#

You play the game more

nova kelp
#

you mean you play the game more as a tank?

oblique sorrel
#

Like instead of waiting for invited

#

Invites*

nova kelp
#

yeah, just clarifying, I think that's a fair statement, even philosophically

oblique sorrel
#

I main my rogue and alt a war and dk

nova kelp
#

I switched to rogue in legion because they delted hunter traps for a minute there

#

but I'm not gona lie... I'm pretty fucking close to being a DH main atm

drowsy hollow
#

Regardless I'm still down for rogue tank, lock tank, hunter healer, and mage tank/healer from the survey

#

More specs the better

nova kelp
#

mage should get tank imo, battle mage style

#

shields

drowsy hollow
#

that was one of the specs on the survey, elemental shields and all

nova kelp
#

rogue could get bard

bronze marsh
#

as long as their defensives are relegated to the tank spec tree so they aren't crazy livelords again across the board lol

haughty flicker
#

barrier mage spec

#

to tank

#

ez

bronze marsh
#

that would be kinda dope

drowsy hollow
#

I mean it's not like the tank hybrids right now have stupidly tanky dps specs

nova kelp
#

also further the main character dealio

bronze marsh
#

true bury them out back

#

can't feed the ego

nova kelp
#

I've never been a fan of the rogue tank deal, but rogue could get a ranged spec or a support spec

drowsy hollow
#

This was the mage tank description

nova kelp
#

alchemist, bard etc

drowsy hollow
#

The only reason rogue tank is there is because it was decently popular in SOD and an Evasion tank has been a long time request

bronze marsh
#

I always saw rogue slotting more into the gunslinger 25 yard range niche they're adding to

oblique sorrel
#

What’s the difference in keys right now? Like was a 15 comparable with in this prepatch

nova kelp
#

I DO NOT understand the idea of a short range gun spec lol

bronze marsh
#

mayyyybe like a sawbones healer like in swtor

drowsy hollow
#

Keys are easily like 3-5 levels easier right now

nova kelp
#

I already have issues with the fact that FUCKING pistol shot is 25 while THROW KNIFE is 40

#

it makes NO FUCKING SENSE

#

it's a FUCKING

#

GUN

drowsy hollow
#

some guns have really bad accuracy at range

bronze marsh
#

yeah but if you have two its harder to aim at a distance

nova kelp
#

my god

bronze marsh
#

and with a throwing knife you just kinda send

nova kelp
#

try throwing a dagger

bronze marsh
#

you've seen the CoD killcams

oblique sorrel
#

Blunder buss 10 yards

bronze marsh
#

knives can do crazy shit

#

360 throwing knife headshot across the map

nova kelp
#

I promise you, accuracy be damned, you're more likely to hit shit at 40 yards with a bad gun than a dagger

bronze marsh
#

bouncing off the ground into a ballsack

drowsy hollow
#

for a long time throwing and archery was way more accurate than guns

bronze marsh
#

knives are ballistically mischievous

nova kelp
#

even early muskets shat on any thrown option and the vast majority of bolt/arrow weapons without extreme training

#

give man gun, pull trigger, instant benefit

drowsy hollow
#

ooo, how much energy does the apex talent give? That must speed up the spec a ton

nova kelp
#

imo if we get a short range option, just go with big shuriken spec, or throw vials via alchemy

balmy condor
#

It’s like dashing or tea

bronze marsh
#

I'm hoping since sub is slowly Naruto-ing we get ShadowRasenShuriken

drowsy hollow
#

I don't totally hate the downtime right now on sin because it's to be expected, but I do feel like I'm pooling energy a lot for Kingsbane windows.

balmy condor
#

don't need to do that

royal lantern
#

its just a extremeley general "is there any interest in new specs as a concept at all"

bronze marsh
#

tbh I thought that whole thing was AI bait lol

royal lantern
#

the stuff they wrote there is just random things thrown at a wall

drowsy hollow
#

I know it's not a we will add.

bronze marsh
#

we still need artificer/tinkerer/bard/etc

drowsy hollow
#

I'm expecting Tank Shaman and maybe the Ranged DK for 14.0

well it's just it seems to prefer this stat prio Crit > haste > mastery

that's fine

these would be my stats with the suggested gear 40% crit / 35-37% haste 52% mastery

I have no clue if that's good or not

secondaries are pretty meaningless

while when i check murlok.io/archon most people have 15-20 haste / 70+ mastery 40-50% crit

I am not, I miss my shiv in the rotation PeepoCryFloor

winged gust
fleet whale
#

I've personally never been a fan of having utility abilities being repurposed for dps

jolly stirrup
#

So basically you use CT as a CP builder until all enemies have bleeds

#

Then switch to FoK

fleet whale
#

I love how the new CT works, I just have to kick my tab rupture habit

jolly stirrup
#

And since you main target will (almost) always have the longest bleed times, you dont need to switch anymore dracthyr_nod

winged gust

lmfao is it like a 60 second bleed or something

jolly stirrup

No

Good morning, new to the discord. I have been searching online, to no avail, for a poison macro. The one I have isn't working. Basically I want to click the same button 4 times (castsequence??) to apply all four poisons. Any help would be super appreciated!
Edit now i'm confused...can I only apply 3 poisons?

humble verge
#

i dont think there exist one like that

#

but it should never be a problem to click the different poison, since you can sequence them

solar harbor
#

so as someone who only barely dipping into assassination during TWW, how is it now? Is it worth picking over the others?

but tuning will happen

ah well

the big change is crimson tempest

youre not shivving, and youre just still pouring 5cp+ into envenoms
