I N S A N E

#

You’ve never seen difficulty this insane

#

Gar -> rup -> cds

Mut -> mut -> env
Or
Ct x253 -> maybe envenom

#

I can’t fathom pressing more than 2 buttons

fresh kelp
fallow canopy
#

I think I need to see who this Petko guy is

#

For science

calm grail
#

I'm a little late to the conversation. I remember someone asking you the other day is using CT was better than envenom at a certain point. Is this about the Sims you said you'd run to check it?

balmy condor
calm grail
#

What was the verdict? At what point is using your finisher a dumb move

#

Whenever something isn't bleeding?

balmy condor
#

If you can bleed things, you bleed things

calm grail
#

Can't wait for a 30 mob pull where I'm just assuming there's not enough bleeds out.

#

I'll just count my CTs

balmy condor
#

Slam it a couple extra times what’s the harm

#

Does nearly 70% of an envenom at that target count anyway

#

Not like you’re losing out on much

fallow canopy
calm grail
#

If I break stealth and I'm at 4cps, I still mutilate again before I can rupture right? Always 5cps? Even in AoE?

balmy condor
#

I mean obviously don’t mutilate in aoe

#

But yes you would generate

spice surge
#

Does thrown precision always apply non-lethals too?

fallow canopy
#

Apparently a rework is not enough to put accurate shit on tooltip

spice surge
#

Or wait maybe secondary doesnt work with fok

balmy condor
#

Doesn’t work with fok

#

It’s a very strange talent

#

I thought it wasn’t doing the instant damage on deadly at first

#

And then eventually realized it was just proccing from crippling

spice surge
#

Tbf it doesnt specifify that its only lethal, but it obviously should be

balmy condor
#

Yeah I mean in hindsight reading the tooltip after knowing it

#

It’s like well yeah that’s what it says

#

But it’s so giga weird

jolly stirrup
#

Excuse me wat

spice surge
#

Pressing envenom at 5+ combo points = Insane difficulty
Tracking your sht stacks to make sure you only strike at 7 cp with 5+ stacks = Easy Mode

balmy condor
#

Because fuck it why not I guess

jolly stirrup
#

Even with the comment, I mean no disrespect, I love my class and spec, but I played wow for like 4 months and was rank 4 on frac. Our spec is piss easy OMEGAKEKW

#

It's hard to play because it's looking trash 😄

It’s looking good

#

No dps in prepatch

balmy condor

#

🙂

balmy condor
#

But yeah prepatch is legit irrelevant

jolly stirrup
#

You doing another guide when live live hits? Or just updating the written one

balmy condor
#

You do 30 min of beta and realize prepatch makes absolutely no god damn sense

#

But for some reason blizzard was like yeah sure let’s tune beta

strange tundra
#

its rog good for m+ havent played since tww 2nd season

balmy condor
#

And then just copy paste all that tuning onto prepatch

#

With classes that are -10 levels

jolly stirrup
#

Assa at least

#

For me

wanton spear
#

this entire pre patch made no sense, to last nearly as long as it has

strange tundra
jolly stirrup
#

I dont think so

strange tundra
jolly stirrup
#

Whispyr correct me if I am wrong

balmy condor
#

What’s wrong with you that’s peak world of warcraft

#

We need dirt to dig at least

balmy condor
#

Gotta log in to collect twigs in my neighborhood man

wanton spear

#

the jump puzzles were kind of legit in the neighborhood at least?

balmy condor

Slap a fence a couple times or whatever

#

I messed around with housing but when i found out i had to pay for each individual peice, went nope not wasting my consumable money on some b/s windows

balmy condor
#

Wake me up when the outdoor budget is bigger than 3 rocks and a fence

stiff fern
#

Mounted lumber collecting is pretty sick idk, good for those who enjoy crafting

onyx scroll
#

I don't care if they want you to pay for each placement, but don't make me go back and buy each item from a vendor

#

make it just cost gold to place or something once I aquire it

bitter crow
bitter crow
#

so after collecting 1000 of each or whatever, why TF would you wanna collect MORE?

stiff fern
#

Lumber is but decor isn't

#

Lotta gold in them trees

wanton spear
onyx scroll
#

That killed it for me

#

I suck at planning stuff out

balmy condor
#

Remove valorstones, add gold cost in its place

#

Me blozzard

#

Me smart

#

god they are so bad

balmy condor
#

Change crests for some reason

#

Now you can be excited to craft gear because it says 40 crests

#

Yippie

red schooner
balmy condor
#

It definitely didn’t do that

red schooner
#

Or at least some way of figuring out why they put gold in there

bitter crow
balmy condor
#

They put gold in there because they don’t fucking know what to do with gear anymore

red schooner
balmy condor
#

I’m pretty sure they considered finally changing the stupid ass 4 secondary system

#

But in doing so the game would catch fire and every server would explode instantly

#

Imagine a world where secondaries aren’t just 4 versions of vers

spice surge
#

Unlike haste which..uh...

blazing totem
#

bring back Multistrike?! HOLY

onyx coyote
#

They could always bring back reforging and make us min max secondaries even more

#

Do not miss that system

static glacier
#

is this that sim based on shindig's question? if so what's the context, is it dslice? x mobs

wanton spear
#

lets bring back rng legendaries that made it so you had to reroll a character if you got the wrong ones while we are at it. lol

lethal turtle
#

Man I loved that xpac

onyx coyote
#

oh you mean when the system was like HERE have the secret ring...it will help your guild (evil laughter as you get benched)

lethal turtle
#

First leggy getting Anger ring on Havoc

static glacier
# balmy condor 15

bro it's so fucking over if envenom doesn't beat 2 ruptures at 15 mobs

#

jfc

onyx coyote
#

i was lucky and got the shoulders first shot was insane that your entire raid damage profile was who got lucky iwth legendaries

spice surge
#

Lowkey they should bring back some form of grind, people love all the rep shit in BC as an example. And when theres nothing you need to grind for everybody just fotm rerolls, which means blizzard doesnt want to nerf stuff because everybody rerolled already

wanton spear

balmy condor
#

Before any poisons

#

Or the bleeds

static glacier
#

I do remember it hitting quite hard ye

#

im predicting them to dial back the spatter changes

balmy condor
#

Blizzard just forgot how numbers work, all good though

static glacier
#

how're poison bomb stocks looking this time round?

balmy condor
#

It’s a talent you take

static glacier
#

and env still loses on aoe kekw

subtle tundra
#

babe wake up, fok spam is back

balmy condor
#

I mean it’s not a good talent

#

It’s just a talent

#

It’s fine

static glacier
#

I don't think it's been powerful for a while

#

last time I remember it actually putting out numbers was raszageth adds

#

the 2nd intermission

balmy condor
#

Was better with 40% caustic garf_sit

spice surge
#

Very strange that it worked with caustic to begin with

#

As it was already aoe

static glacier
#

ngl the venemous wounds change created this issue

balmy condor
static glacier
#

if you decouple energy from extra targets the aoe damage has to be made up somewhere, and it looks like bleed / ct dmg is where the power showed up

spice surge
#

Ye

blazing totem
#

I remember back then when it still procs on Rupture

balmy condor
solar wyvern
#

Thats it 250% to fok

#

Thatll fix it

balmy condor
#

Energy is basically where it’s always been

solar wyvern
#

🙂

balmy condor
#

But they decided ct needs to hit like a truck for no reason

#

And then also decided to destroy caustic

balmy condor
#

Any of those individually is fine

#

But they actually just tuned themselves into problems

#

Unprompted

#

Had they left it and just aura buffed we wouldn’t be here

solar wyvern
#

If they dont intend on returnung caustic to its glory. Is the solution simply reduce energy on CT and reduce damage? It kinda needa decent dam if its so expensive.

balmy condor
subtle tundra
#

this isnt really what i meant when i said i want bleed build

solar wyvern
#

Yeah in insane mass aoe, but clearly 5 target is a struggle

subtle tundra
#

meow..

balmy condor
#

The solution should’ve been nerf damage on ct, buff fok and env/rupture simultaneously

red schooner
#

...I've missed things. We just... Not envenoming in AoE now?

solar wyvern
#

Whats the cutoff for this? 8-9 target?

#

Like where its better to not envenom

subtle tundra
balmy condor
#

Yeah you can do it on lower but it’s just what you were doing before so it’s not different right

lethal turtle
#

FOK still bootyhole even with the 25% buff and our 4set in Midnight?

spice surge
#

Prio loss though, why bother spreading rupture to pissers instead of envenoming the big guy based

static glacier
# balmy condor Energy is basically where it’s always been

maybe it's just noise by the apex not working back when I tested it, idk it's wierd - energy feels notably higher when compared to non IC situations (think stuff like first boss algethar spawning mobs) but other than that we were strictly gcd capped before. st feels better imo. I imagine actual numbers can confirm or deny what i've observed

solar wyvern
#

But ye, ez fix is lower damage buff fok to compensate ig

balmy condor
static glacier
balmy condor
#

Yeh idk

#

Maybe

#

But whoever is doing the napkin math back there ain’t doing their job

solar wyvern
#

Not saying i agree with it

balmy condor
#

But… it’s 2 globals

solar wyvern
#

Its 2 globals that eat like half ur energy ye

#

And dont even guarantee fill your cp

balmy condor
#

But then you’re fine

#

You fok

static glacier
#

the issue is the bleed spreading makes the damage per energy of CT monsterous

subtle tundra
#

meow!

solar wyvern
#

Idk it just "feels bad" i dont know how else to explain it

#

Less if u have DM up but ive had pulls where i literally garrote garrote fok rupture ct ct. And then im ooe already

#

If no tea u cri

subtle tundra
#

yeah but fok is 35 energy you should get that quite quickly right?

#

and so is envenom, you might be at low energy all the time but its not like you cant use stuff

#

but idk

#

i havent played

runic hinge
#

you played me

subtle tundra
#

meow

solar wyvern
#

Maybe i just dont like empty globals in aoe makes me feel yucky

#

Like its fine at the end of the day, the damage will be fine once its tuned correctly

static glacier
#

remember sbs

solar wyvern
#

Imisssbs

static glacier
#

that shit carried opener so hard

solar wyvern
#

Ye i started playing haste just to not have as mant empty globals lmfao

#

I dont think its very good tho

static glacier
#

I think we're just gonna have to get used to it, idk why but I kinda miss master assassin

subtle tundra
#

stealth effects 🤮

#

yeah bro i love begging for a restealth

#

yessssssss

#

please my team be slower for me ;3;3;3;3;3;3 pleaseeeeeee

solar wyvern
#

Could be worse,they coulda made it so every 5th poisoned knife gives u MA

#

For funsies

#

We need poisoned knife gaming ima say it

but that amount of free crit

subtle tundra

"free"

#

bruh

#

Just open trade with tank before dungeon to bribe for restealths 😏

frosty cedar
#

you know what I'm gonna say it. Spamming CT to spread bleeds being optimal in aoe over envenom spam sounds fine. Am I cooked? Maybe they should add a way for it to eat combo points HOLY

The tempest must crimson

#

Thats just how it goes

shy axle
#

is it really worth to just ct over fok all the time or is it just a meme ?

#

can not tell anymore

spice surge
#

To spread bleeds yes

#

otherwise no

shy axle
#

so just like the guide says until every target living long enough has bleeds up? nothing new?

spice surge
#

That is not what the guide says

severe meadow
#

Over 8 targets I believe

spice surge
#

Again, you dont spam

#

You CT until everything has bleeds on them

#

Before you envenom

shy axle
#

i thought thats just ct until 5 -> finisher -> not every target has it? ct and so on

spice surge
#

Yes, and that is different than what i just said

shy axle
#

Can not follow you right now, what do you mean

#

i did not saw your replay above, nvm

#

finishing at 5 was implied from me

humble verge

shy axle

i guess he understood it that i want to spam ct even if i have full cp, which you will not do

real pike
#

I think that is exactly what you do

real pike
shy axle
#

true, i misread that too

spice surge
#

Guide says CT until 5 combo points > envenom

#

I said CT until everything has bleeds on them

humble verge
#

is CT still bugged?

calm grail
spice surge
#

yes

wanton spear
#

odd question, is there anywhere like fuu's sim sheet that shows the dps of all classes>? like to compare where we sit?

spice surge
#

No, and if there is i wouldnt trust it

wanton spear
#

all 3 of our specs are pretty close, but i just wanna guage where the other classes are at dps wise currently.

spice spire
#

We’re 2 weeks away from a new xpac it does not matter - even for the xpac as tuning will happen often until 2 weeks after raid likely so nothing matters atm just play whatever

wanton spear
#

idk why i thought the sim sheet was for beta and not pre patch lol

glass viper
rough haven
#

anyone else having energy regeneration issues?

severe meadow
rough haven
#

im constantly starving for it, ... and if im below 30 energy it drinks tea for me automatically?

earnest remnant
#

it indeed does that

rough haven
#

why would they not allow us to control that?

#

ffs

earnest remnant
#

doesnt really matter as it only gives energy

rough haven
#

pooling for burst

earnest remnant
#

and during cooldowns you dont run out of energy ever

#

would say it was more "annoying" when it still gave mastery

#

but tbf im not entirely up to date with Assa in terms of pooling rules anymore

You do not need to play around tea in any capacity

hallow glade
#

are we double digit gamers in midnight 💀

#

what no raid buffs does to a mf

solar wyvern
#

I think

solar wyvern
#

They may just be not playing optimally in a low overall key

#

Just a hunch

spice surge
#

You mean the first key tomato does on the spec without reading anything online wasn't played pixel perfect?

#

Unbelievable

severe meadow
hallow glade
#

i clicked on

#

this one

#

and i thought "man its so stupid that mage and warlock are playing with brew"

#

but its not brew

severe meadow
#

Hey but this one is

hallow glade
#

they need to inject rogue with some hopium on the next tuning pass ngl

severe meadow
hallow glade
#

something man idk

#

remove skyfury and we are back

#

delete shaman honestly

#

and we are back

#

and death knight

#

we might get played

severe meadow
#

I mean surely all 3 of the rogues played really bad

hallow glade
#

no its

#

you lose insane damage without giga buffs its not even funny

#

on every spec

#

im sure they didnt play stellar but

balmy condor
#

(don't check the math on his defensive video)

hallow glade
#

He didn’t make mention of sub mogging assa and outlaw defensively either

spice surge
hallow glade
#

Having two extra defensive nodes

spice surge
#

The takeaway from that video is that DK is OP and should get nerfed, everything else is tertiary garf_sit

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

if you count will of the necropolis or whatever

#

as a passive defense

#

and then also add the numbers up additively sometimes

spice surge
#

If youre looking at oneshots you would include it, similar to how you would include stamina

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

I just don't know how

#

he got to 37%

#

cause even with 4 riders active, which they aren't

#

the math maxes out at like

#

34%

#

or something

#

the math just

#

doesn't make sense

jade igloo
#

My dad said he would be proud of me if I mained assa, should I make him proud?

eat the rich

#

dks should have their defensives taxed

violet island
#

I live to serve

fleet whale
#

eh, i don't mind dks being really tanky.
I think themetically it makes sense, plus the fact that they are turtles in terms of mobility

spice surge
#

Theyre not really anymore though

haughty flicker
#

rider kinda zooms

#

im ngl

#

plus unholy is a ranged spec

spice surge
#

Rider is what, 45s 2 charges sprint thats also knockback+slow immunity

haughty flicker
#

(note that im not actually serious that dk needs defensives nerfed)

fleet whale
#

Well then nerf unholy's ranged capabilities and I guess their mobility
I don't think DK's defensive capabilities should be the thing that gets nerfed though

spice surge
#

Very immobile

haughty flicker
#

but yeah they definitely arent super slow atm

fleet whale
#

ah ok

haughty flicker
waxen oyster
#

Tbh i feel even just DA kind of makes bad mobility a non issue

haughty flicker
#

although i dont think you normally do anymore

what do you even need crazy mobility for

severe meadow

fresh kelp
#

me when my theme is just to be op af

spice surge
#

I dont think deathstrike being OP is a problem, just like feint it has opportunity cost

#

But the enormous passive DR thats bigger than some classes active walls is a bit silly

haughty flicker
#

is rune of the apocalypse actually just 18% passive dr

#

mfw i play priest and using my gcd to cast flash of light + use fade is barely better than one random passive dk has

balmy condor
#

it just sucks when you're making a good point

#

with shit math

#

cause then like

#

why should I trust you

#

can't even multiply numbers together like bruh

haughty flicker
fleet whale
#

A little off-topic but does anyone know why one icy veins that utility has a "purple" ranking for sub and outlaw while for assassin it's "blue," when the utility for all three specs are almost the same?

balmy condor

petko moment

spice surge
#

I think seli assumes the aoe blind is staying

#

Whereas i was writing with the assumption that it wasnt

fleet whale
#

ah ok
some of them are little funny though when looking at other classes though

fleet whale
#

Ret paladin one especially is quite funny

haughty flicker
#

they're nerfing airborne irritant in pvp, i wonder if they glanced at it and realized it was aoe

Who knows

Until then a 24s cd blind with blackjack is solid

yeah its very nice

you can still purple parse under the tank btw

you can r1 parse under tank

@thorn thorn link it

Yep....parse purple and do literally HALF dps of a DH or DK now in prepatch

hello , been a while, is assa still a burst class ?

#

sounds like no 😄

balmy condor
#

I mean, what's your definition of burst

severe meadow
balmy condor
#

is this burst

nova kelp
#

A strong dribble

cursive owl
#

neko_heremyheart whispyr still alive nice

balmy condor
#

is this burst

#

or this

severe meadow
#

A single spurt

balmy condor
#

there's levels to it

cursive owl
#

well both seems to me burst

#

its not constant that is

#

so yeah :3

severe meadow
#

Cooldowns erm

balmy condor
#

the three graphs I sent are assa in midnight, assa in s3, sub in s3

#

in that order

cursive owl
#

hmhm

#

well

balmy condor
#

what did you play in s3

cursive owl
#

i thought i can play mage in midnight , but it got nerfed hard

earnest remnant
#

they might just nerf w/e you are rerolling too aswell

cursive owl
balmy condor
#

unless ironically it's mage, cause mage always wins

earnest remnant
#

mage or lock usually

haughty flicker
#

the frost changes arent actually nerfs btw

earnest remnant
#

always have atleast 1 spec in top 5

balmy condor
#

the last time it wasn't a mage season, dinosaurs roamed the earth and stones weren't invented yet

haughty flicker
#

main character of wow

#

you can expect them to get nerfed

cursive owl
#

well frost specc is for ppl who also play BM hunter

lethal turtle
#

Whats simc dps tho

haughty flicker
#

thats just midnight in general

cursive owl
#

i want at least a FUN clas not a 1 button rotation

earnest remnant
haughty flicker
#

fyrakk was a dinosaur

balmy condor
#

yeah amirdrassil was rough

haughty flicker
#

so whispyr is correct

balmy condor
#

but fire was still like

#

pretty strong

#

you know what, lets go look

#

I was slightly incorrect

#

still top 5 tho

cursive owl
#

yeah

#

fuck wow

balmy condor
#

sepulcher was a bad mage tier I think no?

earnest remnant
#

iirc 10.2.5 came quite fast so this is the tuning most remember from raid

ele sham

#

that's crazy

haughty flicker
#

ok but only 2/3 of them were in top 10 instead of all 3

#

thats a bad mage tier

balmy condor
#

true actually

earnest remnant
#

sepulcher was def a 1 mage only tier

cursive owl
#

how is this even allowed

earnest remnant
#

it was just warlock playground that tier

fierce mirage
#

after stat squish, whats a good dps target on dummies? im getting about 22k

i just wanna look for a burst class to have fun

Holy destro gap

balmy condor
#

They weren’t even playing the good covenant btw

Was like 15-20% ahead in dungeons compared to whatever they were playing at the time

#

And just no one played it cause the sims were giga shit

bro saved Warlocks and condemned everyone else

balmy condor
#

I went to warlock discord and was like hey do we know that this just… doesn’t work

#

And they legit went “oh yeah good fine, we don’t have a destro tc right now”

haughty flicker
#

Damn

#

Ive lost a lot of respect for whispyr suddenly

severe meadow
#

I was about to ask if they just didn't

#

have anyone working on that stuff or not

haughty flicker
#

Can't believe he helped warlocks

haughty flicker
#

This isn't my president

fringe spear

cuz thats totally the point

balmy condor
#

Arguably the strongest destro patch ever btw

#

No tc

#

I was floored

severe meadow
#

Yeah that is a little silly

#

Maybe we get the strongest Rogue tier ever if you take a break for a tier

haughty flicker
fringe spear
#

warlock theorycrafters get consumed by their patron every tier. no continuity

haughty flicker
#

Good point

balmy condor
#

I have taken a break for one tier and it was crucible

they cant keep anyone to save their lives

Where you didn’t even play melee

#

Let alone rogue

earnest remnant
#

Did you just have an obession with venthyr sims that expansion

#

As u also did sub in season 2

balmy condor
#

No

#

It’s just everywhere I looked venthyr sims were broken

#

Cause I fixed obedience after you and push were like nah this is crazy

#

Just happy coincidence that venthyr was stupid in multiple specs

how we feeling about Sin right now boys?

#

Guys how important is it to get first caustic up? Do we do it asap or not care about it and get it up with first env/kingsbane not worrying about it just following prios and rotation?

#

Dumb question but do you think the s1 tier set will change any gameplay? Or will it just end up being a damage buff?

balmy condor
#

It will not

#

And that is by design

#

S1 tier set bonuses are weak and boring

latent kernel
#

crimson tempest is still giga in AOE right? compared to FOK with buff?

#

i missed the convo above

balmy condor
#

After the buff fok is pretty strong especially on ds

#

Unsure

Hopefully not back to the DS mini game 😭

Fatebound will be fine

balmy condor

sweaty bitchless grass allergic minmax in m+ will still be ds probably

severe meadow
#

We obviously needed more aoe tuning

balmy condor
#

Everything was making sense until like a month ago

#

And then they started turning knobs that didn’t need turning

#

And turned certain knobs way further than they should’ve

severe meadow
#

I hope they buff caustic by another 1% and nothing else

balmy condor
#

It’s like they saw that things were close and said “you know what…. We need to pad our work metrics”

#

And then just added some bullshit they have to tune around even more

#

Legit just pointless busy work

#

Like the CT/fok balance

#

We already had it

#

It was exactly what they intended

latent kernel
#

to be completely honest, im surprised they didnt just nuke FOK and CT into one ability

#

maybe im just in the spirit of pruning, but atp it just seems like that would make the most sense

ivory latch
#

now there isn't much of a point to fok over 7-8 mobs right?

latent kernel
#

for the kind of gameplay they're going for with this pruning

balmy condor
#

And then they obliterated caustic and ct hella good kicked fatebound in the teeth

#

And it’s just

#

?????

#

Whispyr made me question my choice

severe meadow
#

You just get bleeds on everything and then FoK

ivory latch
ivory latch
#

I probably misunderstood though.

balmy condor
#

Not really how that works no

#

Ct is a bleed spreader in the rotation

ivory latch
#

Is it spam till bleeds up then you can switch back to normal fok/envenom?

#

I thought with the higher mob counts you were saying CT hit within a decent percent of envenom

balmy condor
#

It does

#

If you’re needing to spread

#

Ct takes priority over envenom

#

If you don’t need to spread

#

It’s a dogshit button

ivory latch
#

Got it!

balmy condor
#

If you’re fok->envenom spamming

#

And overcapping on energy

#

Then maybe you hit it once or twice to burn energy off since it’s hitting harder than fok atm

#

And that’s about it

#

And apparently blizzard thinks buffing fok is the solution instead of nerfing ct and buffing envenom to compensate

#

But what do I know

ivory latch
#

Ah ok, I misunderstood the last bit. I appreciate you clearing that up for me.

solar wyvern
#

Lemme pad aoe 😠

#

131k dps garrote isnt it beautiful

#

This is how god intended us to play, fatebound only roll heads...

severe meadow

bleed build in full effect

i mean tbf with garrote being so much of our aoe, tier set is gonna go giga with the buff lol

Who knows what tuning will do

Just hard to say right now

Yea

severe meadow
#

Blizzard be turning some random knobs right now lol

It’s beyond my understanding

severe meadow
#

Yeah I just let them stress @balmy condor out

runic hinge
#

sims without apex talents kinda stinky

lethal turtle
#

Do we have a ballpark for sim profiles with rogue yet or still waiting

latent kernel
#

hot take, give our kick a combo point modifier, and the amount of combo points determines silence duration

#

make us good in m+ again

little tulip
#

kingsbane apex talent looks ye

#

even if deathstalker is a lil cursed it works better on sin for what its worth

latent kernel
#

or just give us smoke bomb back in m+

#

i loved using that

#

it was so fun

redirect on deathstalkers mark would be kewl

once a minute let us swap it so we can fish for kicks and cc stuff

hi, whats the deal with shiv and tea now in midnight/prepatch, supposedly you dont press shiv, and leave tea auto but ive seen many logs where theyre pressed intentionally both in m+ and ST

little tulip
#

i think it flips a coin but don't really remember

#

or applies a stack of non lethal poison it's one of those

rigid trail
#

non lethal yes

sacred oyster
#

@balmy condor i was actually meaning to ping you about the CT thing few days before you said it but just never got around to it lol. I finally figured out the custom APL Stuff and this is what I did to test it wanted to make sure same thing you did

actions+=/call_action_list,name=core_dot

#new entry
actions+=/crimson_tempest,if=!variable.single_target&(active_dot.garrote<spell_targets.fan_of_knives|active_dot.rupture<spell_targets.fan_of_knives)

# Build combo points until 5, or max with darkest night
actions+=/call_action_list,name=generate,if=!buff.darkest_night.up&combo_points<5|buff.darkest_night.up&combo_points.deficit>0
actions+=/call_action_list,name=spend,if=!buff.darkest_night.up&combo_points>=5|buff.darkest_night.up&combo_points.deficit=0```

I saw up to 3% extra DPS on large pulls, with no negative on DS or small pulls either.
solar wyvern
#

Do i want 14 stacks of kb or do i want 20% extra damage to 98k dps?

little tulip
#

is that that first big pull in algethar?

solar wyvern
#

Ye

little tulip
#

solar wyvern

Too bad smallies go kaboom

#

#

Does the tuning today also have us using CT until everything is bled and only then using finishers

latent kernel
#

yes

latent kernel
shy heron
little tulip
#

ye storing it on enemies is definitely cursed

#

and very old wow

latent kernel
#

i mean using it from stealth was only like 50% of the problem

#

and they fixed that and said ok good enough

onyx crane
#

so are rogues still in a meh spot?

lethal turtle
#

Charrend has the midnight sim

solar wyvern
#

Nah Whispyr is the sim dude

#

I just log keys and draw conclusions

onyx crane
#

so what is your conclusion so far

solar wyvern
#

If u meab numbers:

Sub was probably in top 7 specs

Assa way undertuned, today may help a lot.

Outlaw is fine, probably needs like 3-4%

#

Gameplay: sub has optimizations but theyre rather small, i could find it very boring if it remains this way for more than a patch.

Assa is kindof enjoyable, being forced to hard stop envenoms at 80 implacable stacks is xd. The new CT spam tech is also XD. But it plays rather similarly to before.

Outlaw is fun if u didnt enjoy the perma ar crackshot playstyle, maybe still fun even if u enjoyed that style, its just slower now. Capstones need work. Deft being 50 energy feels bad

#

Thats just my feelings on it rn

#

Id say not meh, but decent and better than some other specs

fickle coral
#

hi, im looking to make a character that will be least played race/class/spec combo in midnight. would i be right in thinking that alliance earthen assassination rogue would be pretty near, if not at, the bottom of the list of 'popularity' ?

solar wyvern
#

Itd be that or sub probably ye

lethal turtle
#

You won’t see class changes now.

#

So if you hate sub

fickle coral
solar wyvern
#

Ye tuning dependant

runic hinge
#

i bet outlaw is less played

glass viper
#

In prepatch Assassination is awful

lean plover
#

yeah but thats prepatch

glass viper
#

I thought that's what he meant when he said 'at the moment'

lean plover
#

i didnt catch that mb

lethal turtle
#

It’s either rogue or WW Leveling both waiting for heroic release

fickle coral
#

well I more meant for midnight beta but eh

#

I dont have beta so cant check

lean plover
#

thing is theres tuning related to beta happening but its going on live rather than beta

#

and they will merge in release

#

so theres no way of knowing how things are atm

fickle coral
#

ahh. okay. so no way to know which will be worst? I very much want to play the worst class/race/spec combo

lean plover
#

no way, the recent balance tuning is not on beta

fickle coral
#

well, worst/least played, I assume that'll match

lean plover
#

and prepatch numbers are fake

#

so who knows

fresh kelp
#

least played and worst isn't the same

fickle coral
#

ok ill just wait

fickle coral
spice surge
#

Worst race is probably undead

lean plover
fickle coral
#

I just assume the worst SPEC will be the least played

lean plover
#

its the worst numericaly

#

the best in everything else

fickle coral
#

for rogue specs

fresh kelp
#

assa is usually most popular rogue spec by a decent amount

#

earthen sub/outlaw is prob the move

fickle coral
#

okay ty

lean plover
#

hows the new race btw, the haradiir or whatever

spice surge
#

yeah earthern is bad too, and way less popular than undead

spice surge
#

They have half of dwarf/tauren racial

fickle coral
lean plover
spice surge
#

Panda male is generational aura farming though

lean plover
#

i read someone saying the racial does quite some healing and dps

#

but i have seen 0 of them

fickle coral
#

yeah but its channeled

#

so like... Id think itd be a dps loss

#

unless for some reason you're stuck at range for a mechanic I guess?

lean plover
#

haranir or earthen one?

fickle coral
#

earthen, azerite whatever beam

lean plover
#

ah yeah

#

i dont like these empowered spells

fickle coral
#

i havent looked at haranir at all, since i was too cheap to pay for beta

low sundial
#

New to rogue and is assassination relatively easy to play?

lean plover
#

yep

faint crescent
#

I think outlaw is the most "complicated" atm. Sub also really easy

#

Especially if you macro things together

low sundial
#

Thanks for your answers, I’ve always wanted to play rogue but couldn’t be arsed learning it so picking it up now since it seems easier

buoyant herald
#

Assass is probably the most forgiving as well, and plays really nice. Good class fantasy. Good recommended entry point to rogue I think

faint crescent
#

I really like survi hunter playstyle but fucking god that shotgun ability, boomstick, why 😄

sacred oyster
#

i did all kinds of settings to see if any was a net negative and none were

balmy condor
#

Movement isn’t really relevant for 99% of tc work on melee specs

#

Movement in sims just adds a break where you stop casting and autoing

#

Doesn’t really do much other than lower your number

glass viper
latent kernel
#

No I was just messing around with a meme build, our ST in pre-patch is pretty solid rn

latent kernel
#

Idk about beta

glass viper
#

Solid in prepatch? I'm getting out dps by 30k by both DH/DK on a 99 parse xD

hazy helm
#

If you’re in an m+ build it’s not the best. ST is fine. Good even.

glass viper

oh we're talking about strictly m+, mb

Pre patch is meme patch

#

Who cares basically

#

Pre patch in a nutshell

buoyant herald
#

I’ve been so surprised by how many people are unaware that prepatch has had literally zero tuning

#

And are trying to draw conclusions

#

But I guess I’m just chronically in discord so

latent kernel
#

A couple of my guildies have switched mains several times already based on pre-patch lmao

#

“Unholy DK really resonates with me” as it’s overtuned by 30%

buoyant herald
#

Hahahaha

#

Love it

latent kernel
#

“Affliction lock is what I always used to play, it feels good!!!”

hazy helm
#

It’s fun to do big numbers. But……at level 90…..I have some bad news for them regarding DKs. Are they sitting down?

latent kernel
#

Simultaneously probably have had a ton of people switch away from devourer not realizing how much their apex talent affects the gameplay lol

hazy helm
#

Opposite tbh. They’re basically #1 in all pre patch content

balmy condor
#

The “I really love the spec” crowd when they can’t admit that they just like big number

hazy helm
#

Also DKs were murdered this morning during patch. DoA, unholy at least.

buoyant herald
sacred oyster
#

i feel like im always drawn to the underdog lol

buoyant herald
#

The best place to be is on a spec that’s slightly undertuned but fun as f to play

#

In prepatch / before heroic week

#

At least

hazy helm
#

Just have fun during pre patch it’s what it’s for imo. If you’re wanting to get that sweaty you should be on beta not pre patch. Pretty sure it’s open beta at this point no?

stiff fern
#

unholy is still fine, idk where that conclusion is coming from

buoyant herald
#

I think the point is that if it’s more in line with other specs numerically then all of a sudden a bunch of folks might miraculously no longer vibe with it as much

lethal turtle
#

just dont play pre patch

#

as soon as prepatch hits i tlel my guild im not playing

#

grind league for 6 weeks

Prepatch really is just the time to vibe in another game and catch up on single player backlog

As soon as pre-patch dropped they should’ve just made myth gear available at vendors, I mean literally nothing matters, easy to gear alts, fun to mess around with

Or rather just make the event drop myth gear

Nah, better to go fetch a rare every 5 min and sit in a rock while waiting

Hey, everyone. I'm quite the newb when it comes to assassin/energy. Should I be pooling my energy so that I'm not activating thistle tea, or does it not really matter?

I assume thistle tea is good for burst windows so that when I pop kingbane I'm not starving for energy.

spice surge
#

It does not really matter

#

The absolute vast majority of your KB poison applications come from auto attacks anyway

#

Oo okay. Tyvm! Looking to start raiding in Midnight and didn't wanna look foolish in front of my guild lol
