m+ bad emplussers worse CAUGHT

#

@hallow glade please help me explain why aoe damage doesn’t mean shit beyond a certain point in keys. Because I can’t get it through to them.

lean plover

balmy condor

severe meadow

?

lean plover
#

we all know padding doesnt equal good timer

coral ibex
#

wait wait

lean plover
#

you can have insane aoe without padding xd

balmy condor
#

Bro who are you arguing against

hazy helm
#

CT spam is literally padding

spice surge
#

Bro is schizoposting

coral ibex
#

are we in the "only prio damage matters" part of the m+ discourse??

lean plover
#

or having insane aoe while doing insane prio

balmy condor
coral ibex
#

"only overall matters"
"only aoe matters"
"only prio matters"
"only boss dam matters"

#

where are we in the cycle rn

balmy condor
#

Literally who the fuck are you arguing against

balmy condor

Bro you’re so fucking schizo what is happening

#

Can you make one coherent point

#

This is crazy

hazy helm

Everything

Brother is arguing against no one and losing

balmy condor

This has to be bait

Well he’s bi polar

#

Or whatever

hazy helm
#

And you’re a cuck, I’m not judging though

severe meadow
#

I’m going to not respond as per usual because I genuinely think you’re mentally unwell

#

But I do wish well for you

haughty flicker
#

At least this is good old fashioned shitposting instead of the ai stuff on the forums

hazy helm
#

^

runic hinge
#

I wouldnt call it good shitposting

severe meadow
#

Shit posting has really gone down hill me thinks

hazy helm
#

You think?

coral ibex
#

so you would say we're in the "only boss damage matters" part of the cycle?

severe meadow
#

I think we might be

hazy helm
#

Now who’s rage baiting 🙁

#

So, anyways. Moving on. Who likes beef snacks?

normal mist
#

Yo momma

winged quail
#

That was a fun read

fleet atlas
#

Ya hopped on towards the end and had to go back. Good stuff

severe meadow
#

It’s fine, we get all of the schizo posting out of the way before launch

thorn thorn
#

Such a low effort bait that people were trying to fall for it and couldnt

#

Actually pretty commendable accomplishment Clap

haughty flicker
#

ur mom is a low effort bait

thorn thorn
#

This is true

haughty flicker
#

you have very good genetics

thorn thorn
#

Thats why I am here

#

I fuckin wish

#

You cant lie to me

haughty flicker

well sometimes they skip a generation

#

I should do a drinking game when the tier starts.

#

Anytime someone thinks "prio damage" matters and they aren't doing wf level keys.

#

Take a shot.

lean plover
#

well prio dmg is always nice

#

not fun murdering a huge aoe pack only to see big guy 40% hp

thorn thorn
waxen oyster
#

Thing is 90% of people only say prio damage because some streamer said it.

#

And think repeating it makes them sound smart.

#

It's the same as people who toss "per capita" into a statement without reading context.

severe meadow
#

Erm.. Prio damage is really important in my 10 bro..

coral ibex
#

"guys assa is literally bugged -15% damage bro its literally TROLLING TO PLAY IT" - kira

#

never forget

waxen oyster
#

listening to non rogue mains talk about rogue is often as reliable as

#

asking a lender how much should you pay back

thorn thorn
waxen oyster
#

I mean i dont understand the point of watching wow streams.

#

It's probably the most boring game to watch someone else play.

#

It's only fun to watch people like gromnak freak out.

"HOLY DOGSHIT, TRADECHAT BUYER"

I like witnessing Whispyr fall for bait every time

waxen oyster
#

thats not as good as zeross arguing with himself

nothing will ever top that

#

Am I wrong in thinking this looks better than the tier set

hallow glade
severe meadow
wooden timber
#

i like the tier set minus the hat

bronze marsh
#

I’m personally not a fan of the tier set but transmog exists so it’s w/e

wooden timber
#

but i am a big fan of jesters and clowns and guys like that

severe meadow
#

Yeah this is really not hitting anything for me

urban fern
#

I love the new tier set

#

the puffy arms do it for me

wooden timber
#

hats bad but i like the puffy sleeves and shirt

#

yea

waxen oyster
#

I wish i cared about new sets

#

but the old sets just look so much better

urban fern
#

looks way better on elves tbh

thorn thorn
severe meadow
waxen oyster
#

belves 🤢

#

too smol

hallow glade
#

i mean

severe meadow
hallow glade
#

one of these looks like the armor you get from exiles reach or something

waxen oyster
#

Yeah no idea why it wasnt the MFO SET

waxen oyster
severe meadow
#

s2 was hot ass

hallow glade
#

s1 set went well with a lot of s3 stuff too

#

like the delve helm

waxen oyster
#

i did that at the start of the season

#

my kyveza from temu fit

#

it looks better now with kyveza fist+arcane enchant imo

#

Basically that

waxen oyster
#

but fun police now removed the capability to put illusions on ghostblades

haughty flicker
#

I like pieces of the new tier, my main issue is it doesnt match very much

#

The colors are kinda faded in a way a lot of things dont match

waxen oyster
#

Although imo, the LFR variant was the best color

#

of the tww s1 set

severe meadow
#

Fully agree

waxen oyster
#

i dont think they were planning on making mfo because this set just screams manaforge

severe meadow
#

idk I still think s2 was awkward

waxen oyster
#

yeah that set was wish.com plunderstorm set

#

with a skeleton mask

haughty flicker
#

The coat was pretty good

#

But not a fan of the mask

thorn thorn
# waxen oyster

Where does dracthyr rank on your list of races that are likely to be terrible

waxen oyster
#

Male very high

thorn thorn
#

female

waxen oyster
#

Not that high tbh

urban fern
#

I loved this set personally

dusty crag
#

best set for sin so far, glad i can tmog daggers to swords now

urban fern
#

Same set but I thought the green on here was good for that too

latent kernel
dusty crag
stone oracle
dusty crag
#

with outlaw artifact weapons

latent kernel
#

Thanks, two 🐐s right here

dusty crag
#

this would be my outlaw set if it came with some boots

final star
buoyant herald
#

I quite liked the kareshi themed sets, they match some of the artifact weapons perfectly

dusty crag
#

who knew this set was going to be a spoiler for season 3

stone oracle
#

well there was datamining files in beta (or was it alpha) which mentioned goblin raid and etheral raid

bleak star
#

few questions , just came back to retail after playing classic for a long time, was curious if snap shotting was still a thing or if everything is just dynamic now? also a question about aoe when refreshing garrotes is it worth to just refresh a full CP rupture and spread with CT to avoid re CT'n again in a few seconds?

stone oracle
#

most snapshotting have been removed, improved garrote still exists

bleak star
#

ok but such as trinket/weapon procs and such i dont need to worry about then?

spice surge
#

Practically nothing snapshots your stats anymore no

stone oracle
#

nah those are dynamic (sorry letting Eleem do the rest, he knows way more than me!)

bleak star
#

ok sick ty

hallow glade
#

believe this is assa's only snapshot

bleak star
#

ok cool and that one is pretty strait foward it seems

#

im assuming reapplying with 2 secs left doesnt snap the improved right?

hallow glade
#

no it overwrites it

bleak star
#

so let the improved actually tick all the way off then?

hallow glade
#

believe so

balmy condor
#

if you miss a tick or two it won't matter much

#

but yeh

nova kelp
hallow glade
#

the inverse is also true, improved garrote can be used with garrote up

balmy condor
#

in theory let it tick to 0

haughty flicker
bleak star
#

ok ty all! also is it worth to refresh rupture to max duration if reapplying garotte for CTs so the timers semi line up? for aoe*

haughty flicker
#

but idr if its the mythic variation or not

nova kelp
#

it's not the black one

#

I don't remember which either, but I often use myth dashing with the boots, so I KNOW it's not that one

haughty flicker
#

honestly the boots look kinda dumb anyway

balmy condor
haughty flicker
waxen oyster
dusty crag
#

@waxen oyster the glad set?

nova kelp
#

alas, I can't use coz going horde is poo poo on oce

waxen oyster
#

yeah

#

I dont make the rules

dusty crag
#

who pvps nowadays they should make the elite sets cost marks

#

id do pvp for that

bleak star
balmy condor
#

Yep

bleak star
#

ty for your help all

barren yarrow
#

ready to here how unpopular we are in this tierlist Max is doing lol.

balmy condor
#

tier list is just for content anyway

#

it's whatever

#

tuning is still giga fucked, nothing on that thing is remotely relevant

stone oracle
#

he should do 1 the night before season starts just to see how much of it is true the day after

barren yarrow
#

yeah lol, I just like hearing people fighting for the A slots

balmy condor
stone oracle
#

I'm well aware >.<

balmy condor
#

he could make one every week HOLY

stone oracle
#

would make liquid have an army of mathematicians!

barren yarrow
#

lol

balmy condor
#

petko is a sentient tier-list AI

severe meadow
#

I cooked up a tier list real quick

balmy condor
#

hmmmm

coral ibex
#

outlaw should be in a lower tier

spice surge
fickle geode
#

dont even feel the assa buffs

balmy condor
#

well they weren't impactful at all, so that makes sense yeah

severe meadow
#

Just slightly more aoe damage

flint tusk
#

Shindig rogue time 👀

#

lean plover
#

frfr imagine taking guys spot, the king of the love you bye

severe meadow
#

Who is Max even talking to about rogue

earnest remnant
#

shindigg

severe meadow
#

He's sandbagging us, buffs inc

flint tusk
#

He slamming "rogue overall was overpruned" imo assa was perfect

#

fuck shiv amp timing other than that it's a better form

severe meadow
#

I think he said that about outlaw, no?

earnest remnant
#

he did say overall which i dont think is untrue

#

if 2/3 specs

#

are overpruned

#

id agree with him

lethal turtle
#

I mean sub pruning

#

I feel like I’m in TBC

flint tusk
#

sub wasn't pruned

#

it was gutted

#

I wanna see Whispyr's face right now

severe meadow
#

Is he even watching this

lean plover
#

wtf

earnest remnant
#

dont think whispyr gives a shit

#

ngl

severe meadow
#

Yeah that's why I asked lol

lean plover
#

yeah but to say assa is the worst dps in the game in m+

severe meadow
#

tier list slop

lean plover
#

bit of an overreaction no?

balmy condor
#

what did I do

severe meadow
#

Max tier list

#

Rogue talk

balmy condor
#

oh yeah I couldn't give a shit

magic thorn
#

Who is talking about Assa there ?

severe meadow
#

Basically sandbagged the piss out of us

lean plover
#

he learnt from locks

balmy condor
#

?????

earnest remnant
balmy condor
#

wtf is midnight default ui tier

earnest remnant

bottom

severe meadow
#

Really bad doo doo dog shit

earnest remnant
#

swamp ass

flint tusk
#

gigashit tier

balmy condor
ashen wharf
#

Think he's focusing on design for ass

lean plover
flint tusk
#

"bleed spreading is awful"

severe meadow
#

He basically said worst dps for m+

flint tusk
#

Yeh ok buddy

plain plaza
#

Why yall acting like Shindig is a bad rogue?

balmy condor
#

he's not a bad rogue

#

he's a very good rogue

lethal turtle
#

I mean I think sin compared to most melee specs is well done

haughty flicker
#

good players can have questionable opinions

glad snow
#

I literally played a M+ dungeon with an Assa Rogue and a Mage and they were both competing with each other, and now I see Assa the worst for M+ ?

balmy condor
#

but putting it bottom of the barrel omega giga shit

barren yarrow
#

BLIZZARD!

balmy condor
#

is fucking delusional

flint tusk
#

energy starved in aoe apparently

#

🙃

gloomy steppe
#

I think he's talking design and less dmg

#

Like the CT spam design is rough

#

Even if numbers are good

lethal turtle
#

Yeah design I like

bronze pike
#

so its dead

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean that's just cause they obliterated caustic and haven't nerfed CT for god knows what reason

bronze pike
#

obvi

flint tusk
#

CT spam is awesome
you want vanish bleed spamming back lol?

lethal turtle
#

I would put sub there before sin lmao

gloomy steppe
#

I mean, CT better than Vanish for sure

#

But it spreads super slow + makes M+ big pulls p annoying

balmy condor
#

literally they nerf CT damage and problem goes away

gloomy steppe
#

Agreed yeah

#

It's a tuning fix

#

He said as much

glad snow
steady prairie
#

Ct is better than vanish, but energy starvation is big doo doo imo

balmy condor
#

lmao

#

yeah I don't understand that at all

midnight mist
#

he never said that tho

earnest remnant
#

he did say "it can be fixed with tuning"

midnight mist
#

you guys are legit inventing stuffs

hollow lily
#

i think deathlord is lying

earnest remnant
#

lets not talk complete shit

bronze pike
#

first he said its a tuning thing

gloomy steppe
#

People just making shit up lmao

balmy condor
#

okay well you guys figure out what the fuck he said cause I'm not going back and listening to it

midnight mist
#

im reading 2 guys in here

lethal turtle
#

Yo I fucking hate shindigg

glad snow
midnight mist
#

that are legit

bronze pike
#

second i do think the dooming that sin is giga shit is also ya know

midnight mist
#

spouting

glad snow
#

Reading is hard

peepohappy 🍿

bronze pike
#

streamer filler

fiery mauve
haughty flicker
#

nobody lies on the internet though

midnight mist
#

maybe assa players brain tho

balmy condor
#

I mean regardless of the reasoning, omega dogshit tier is pretty insane

bronze pike
#

like people always either doom on their main spec during maxs thing

digital raft
#

He clarified that it feels like dogshit to play, not that the damage is dogshit

bronze pike
#

like only a handful of people tell it as it is

obsidian oracle
#

we're cooked

steady prairie
gloomy steppe
#

He said:

  • Bleed spread is slow and clunky in M+
  • Spamming CT even at full combo points due to tuning is bad
  • The CS bug makes our prio damage sad
  • Energy regen feels a little slower than it should
proper tulip
#

sin is no where near the worst designed spec this is some salty discussion

digital raft
bronze pike
#

i like to say

uneven sable
#

y'all are putting too much stock into the max tier list lol

bronze pike
#

that outlaw is more shit design wise than sin

#

and also ya its a max tier list

drifting cloud
#

dont forget to follow and subscribe to the yt video of this livestream

glad snow
bronze pike
#

its a meme and always inaccurate every season

amber yoke
#

That amp poison/avulsion thing is annoying, true enough

balmy condor
midnight mist
#

i mean regarding energy he was more so saying that there was no point

#

like nothing to pool for

balmy condor
#

yes, that is my issue with it too

gloomy steppe
#

I think the CS + Singular Focus bug / fix / whatever the fuck Blizz did and hasn't fixed sorta blows

balmy condor
#

I think it's intended at this point tbh but even if they fixed it

#

it's like

#

super whatever

gloomy steppe
#

I know you said you think it's intended now, yeah

balmy condor
#

like even numerically if they add it back

#

it doesn't... change anything?

bronze pike
#

optics

#

like how

#

bear having its overheal nerfed "killed it" during season 2 df

#

when it didnt

#

optics is one hell of a drug so if the cs was fixed. people will probably treat it as the holy grail or something

#

cause streamer says "its good now"

gloomy steppe
#

Idk I feel like prio showed up a fair bit in dungeons in TWW, so having that prio with the additional spatter damage back was useful

#

Is it game breaking? no, definitely not

#

But it gave us a small niche

balmy condor
#

like okay, you have a 10 target pull, you're doing giga aoe it's bloodlust you're slamming, caustic is doing like 7%? 8%? damage

#

singular is doing 5% just from the bleeds and the aoe naturally

#

lets hypothetically say they fixed the interaction right

#

fuck it, make caustic 10% for all I care, that's a round number

#

with a reasonable amount of mastery, singular focus is doing around 7%

#

so you're getting 7% of 10%

#

?????????

#

singular goes from 5% overall to 5.7% overall

#

holy fucking poggers

drifting cloud
#

thats like 23% dmg buff

balmy condor
#

that's what makes us meta?

onyx scroll
#

0.7% is pretty big guys

gloomy steppe
#

Idk if it makes us meta

#

Also hey shinny

bronze pike
#

and think it will

#

granted

elfin flame
#

Guys I know controversial take with assa but I'm rly unhappy with the state of it in m+ compared to how it was in early TWW

bronze pike
#

i will say

last skiff
#

I will still ask the tank to not chain pull garf_sit

bronze pike
#

it would be nice if things are fixed

chilly sluice
bronze pike
#

and not bugged

#

but blizzard is poopyu with that

elfin flame
#

I forgot to bring up that we still need stealth for some reason too

balmy condor
#

like yes, you had giga caustic + singular, and now you don't, but also the spec fucking changed man, bringing it back solves zero

bronze pike
#

no harm

plucky quail
sturdy adder
#

Guys rogue is dead because the higher hierarchy internet ppl said so

balmy condor
#

idk, they literally just nerf CT and buff caustic a bit more and all problems are automatically solved

#

big nothingburger of an argument

bronze pike
#

hopefully they do that

#

i wish they rework outlaw a bit tho

hollow lily
#

@elfin flame logging in to prepatch and playing assa is not fun at all, i feel the same

#

waited 1,5 years for fixes and its still bad

chilly sluice
proper tulip
#

the spec is not the worst in the game tho

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean putting the spec there and then not putting sub in the same spot for having the same issues

#

is pretty insane to me

#

sub is also using generators to overcap

#

they're just doing it in ST

#

and sub is legit like 3 buttons

#

so why would assa be omega dogshit

#

and sub not be

sturdy adder
#

realest shit holy

balmy condor
#

it's 1 to 1 identical problem, except for some reason on assa its world ending

proper tulip
#

yeah it's also weird half the people rating based on "design" half based on actual performance. it just comes across as super salty to put sin down there

onyx scroll
#

I mean all of us should expect more from Assa

proper tulip
#

there are clunkier specs

obsidian oracle
#

Looks like blizzard took sin out to pasture

earnest remnant
#

likely to just play it out itself now

#

guess we will know once eleem the goat plays around with it

spice surge
bronze pike
#

i like to point out

#

outlaw should be in the shittest tier too

#

because capstones do nothing

#

one capstone fights with the core engine

#

mechanically our "high point" aka bte resets are ignored in all content

#

killing spree sucks for trickster

#

ect ect

haughty flicker
#

outlaws ride horses they dont have engines

bronze pike
#

if sin is in dumpster tier for silly things, why not outlaw?

#

or sub

spice surge
midnight mist
earnest remnant
#

cuz shindigg didn't think they belonged ther, it was afterall his opinions about the specs

sturdy adder
#

Subway fuckin sandwich that spec is, went from a cool rotation to literal crank and spank

bronze pike
#

i guess my issue is how fundamentally divisve tierlists are

sturdy adder
#

They done did my boy dirty

bronze pike
#

not between spec communities

obsidian oracle
#

@midnight mist will you be hard maining outlaw in raid?

bronze pike
#

but in between class communities as a whole

bronze pike
#

until he didnt

sturdy adder
#

tierlists are for people with ..placeholder insult..

midnight mist
#

then i will play it in reclears

#

as always

plucky quail
#

Zac what are some insults I can use on tanks who refuse to pull exactly 8 mobs so I can shine as Outlaw

midnight mist
#

imagine going into a new tier thinking its not a sub tier

balmy condor
#

@elfin flame for the record, didn't watch, but I got a couple snippets at this point and I'm not targeting this AT you specifically but I'm curious to hear about the thoughts

Pooling isn't rewarding

it's like 1.5% to play the apex correctly, and the apex is the only thing rewarding pooling, that sucks. I wish there was more. Rapid injection and the poisoner's drive choice node is just free damage because you couldn't care about it. This is a systemic problem assa has had for a decade at this point, because envenom has insane uptime with zero effort, and that should be addressed. As a devil's advocate, playing around pooling is currently, the strongest it has ever been numerically. There are some dogass talents though like doomblade? systemic failure? That shit's gotta go, put some pooling stuff in there and let rip

The CT dilemma

CT just hits way too hard. That's it. The design intention is CT spread bleed for expensive, Fok do dam for cheap. The issue is that CT also just does giga dam for some reason. Nerf that, and problem solved, no spamming or whatever

Energy

Assa is faster than it was for all of war within, and the apex is already ignored in aoe because you just don't have the time to drop envenom or you'll overcap. That being said, yeah they normalized energy in aoe and single target. Venomous wounds is still bugged and losing a bit of energy, but assa is just.... fast, idk. The only reason it's not giga APM is CT energy cost being high and the current rotation rewarding mongospamming it 35 times in a row, which I get.

Prio damage

Literally just as good as it was in s3? Idk like I get wanting more to everything, put it's legit just not bad I don't really understand it other than from the pov of "me big number prio ooga booga", and the boss damage is way better too, so I just don't know the disconnect. Is it legit just "more pls?"

Misc

Idk if you talked about any of the jank but rapid fire style the big issues for me that I would see are having no cc, no defensives, and no utility, which is trumping everything above imo. But in general like what's not fun about the spec, it's not that pruned, there's some moments to optimize with the apex, you get to pick which button to press shrugEg

Never felt such a diff on sub

lol

#

if a BUFF gives us that much, then we need serious tuning

thorn thorn
#

So far my only complaint about midnight assa is that the energy gain in St seems a little too heavily skewed towards just passive regen, especially when there is no real pooling gameplay susge

bronze pike
#

I think it was 3+ before caustic. With caustic it might be pushed to being worth in higher add number situations like 4+ I would imagine.

I am too old to care to track down the exact formulas and math at this point. Just feel it out.

i'm a bit behind on the new expac stuff, are the apex talents something you can opt not to take for more capstone talents?

spice surge
#

You can skip em yes

#

But theyre tuned in a way where that is generally not the ideal thing to do

signal karma
#

have we seen it be optimal to do that yet on anyone, whispyr was mentioning we ignore our apex currently in aoe at current tuning but i'm not sure if there's nuance i'm missin there

You could make the argument to skip the last point but math says probably shouldn’t do that

I keep seeing them buff It's AoE so surely it has ok ST?

#

And it's doing above average AoE on keys

balmy condor
#

Yeah I mean it’s probably fine

#

Hard to tell what a decent ST should be

#

Some initial sims from specs are like 115k on the giga high end

#

And then the low end is like 70

#

Brewmaster is at like 85k

#

So

glad snow
#

You play Ambush stuff on ST right?

balmy condor
#

In pure st yes

#

In cleave fights (most of them), debatable probably not

spice surge

Idk what's with Assa but Ambush for it feels better than Outlaw, Like Assa is more energy manage so those free ambush procs come in clutch

balmy condor
spice surge
#

Yeah

buoyant herald
glad snow
buoyant herald
#

Exactly. For outlaw it’s a few more combo points but you’re not exactly struggling to build cps so

#

Doesn’t help that at the moment it’s WAY behind SS builds numerically as well

glad snow
#

I think they should just get rid of Ambush stuff on Outlaw and bring something new in place, like they claimed that they didn't want Outlaw to use Vanish offensively but if Ambush is actually good, I think that would make you do it anyways

hi guys im new at rogue, anyone else is energy starving as assa?

ripe edge
#

is bleed build not good in prepatch or just non existent

buoyant herald
#

assa is kinda non existant in prepatch tbh

#

but the "bleed build" is pretty different from what you remember

balmy condor
#

“Bleed build” in general just like

#

Doesn’t exist

#

The talent tree changes streamlined us

#

To where you don’t really have that much choice anymore

weary matrix
#

Hey guys i wanna look into assa on beta but never played before, is there a prio list/rotation on wowhead which can be applied for beta with apex?

balmy condor
#

Only change is you want to drop the envenom buff when you hit max stacks on the apex

#

So you can get the energy

#

Identical otherwise

weary matrix
#

okay thx 🙂

Not that I want to, but are you required to take the apex talents or could you spend those four points on other things?
This is just out of curiosity

balmy condor
#

You can put them wherever you want

#

You would be trolling to do so

#

But you could

fleet whale
#

honestly just playing around im talent calculator i'm struggling to create a "full bleed" build that makes sense

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

That will happen

#

Bleed build is dead

like in order to get avulsion you need to take amp poison

Yeh, avulsion isn’t particular good regardless, but yeah

comparing anything to mage is a losing battle unfortunately

maybe ambush will pump if you get a bunch of blindside procs

delicate turret
#

lul

haughty flicker
#

never forget the max stream where everyone was able to pick abilities from every class to make the most op class they could

#

and growl just made mage

fleet whale
#

I also love how blizz makes a tier set that buffs mut damage

#

when they removed a talent that buffed mutilate

lethal turtle
#

Ran out of ideas

#

Copy paste from trash bin

fleet whale
#

I wonder if the pre-patch set bonus is actually stronger than the S1 midnight one for assassin

#

you know the pre-patch bonus that's literally just a flat damage buff lol

balmy condor
#

It 100% is

#

S3 tier sets are tuned to what, 6 and 10?

#

S1 tier sets are usually 4 and 4

lethal turtle
#

Yeah lol pretty sure most sets are what like 6-9%

balmy condor
#

Like if you go back, you can see s1 tier sets being 4% per bonus, s2 being 6-8% per bonus and s3 being 8-10% per bonus

#

So even the generic s3 tier sets

#

Should obliterate the new s1 sets

novel storm
#

Wow, assa feels fucking amazing, so many qol changes in midnight. Do you guys like it also?

balmy condor

Depends who you ask I guess

Generally people have been very positive about it

I like

balmy condor

But given that shindigg went on Max’s stream earlier and allegedly ripped it to shreds for 10 minutes and then dropped it into dogshit tier

#

Prio damage is such a meme

balmy condor
#

Prio damage is important, I just think we’re losing the plot

You got people willing to die for a crumb of prio damage

And people who just want big overall dps

And both of them are idiots

Can you track the apex talent envenom stacks with the blizz CD manager? Or can a diff addon track it? I don't like the default buff icons

balmy condor
#

you cannot track it at all atm

Seems weird to have these restrictions on talents and trinkets embellishments and all that. Hope they lift those restrictions soon

I mean

you're supposed to be able to track it

Ah

im the smart one

#

yep

wicked vector
#

@balmy condor most of the complaints were that so much of the damage is in bleeds and technically depending on target count it is apparently advantageous to spam builders to spread bleeds instead of using combo points so it's mostly playstyle annoyed that dropped it into dogshit tier, but I am a bit behind on rogue stuff

#

though prio damage going away was also a big complaint

wicked vector
#

Oh I believe you I just read you didn't watch it so I was saying what it said 😄

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

I mean honestly I'm not even that upset about the complaints, the complaints are fine, even if they are insanely doomer to me

#

but putting sub in like b or c or whatever tier

wicked vector
#

Glad to go watch and get your opinion though, i've been gone from the game for a LONG time so i'm just returning and playing rogue no matter what

balmy condor
#

when it has the same issues if not worse

#

and then assa just being relegated to worst tier gutter spec garbage

#

that's weird

wicked vector
#

I personally am just hoping 1 of our 3 specs gets a ST buff

#

and i'll be happy lol

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean both specs will be fine

wicked vector
#

Yup, I just want a strong raid spec for ST and i'm mega happy

#

doesn't have to top

#

just an option for the pure ST fights

#

So, being late to the party, how did assa lose the prio dmg?

balmy condor
#

it really didn't

#

but early in s3, there was a change to caustic that made it stop interacting with singular focus

#

and with caustic being like 30% of our aoe at the time, that kinda sucked

#

but caustic is like 8-10% of our damage now

#

and the other stuff does work with singular focus

#

and envenoms hit pretty hard compared to before, where we played a bleed build, which doesn't exist anymore

#

so boss damage is higher, prio damage is technically "higher" or at least comparable

foggy moat
#

Aha, i do recall early m+ where like 5 targets on boss made assa like 2x ST of everyone else, thats dead now then?

balmy condor
#

that's still kind of a thing

#

not that insane obv

#

but functionally all the pieces of that puzzle still exist

I see, thanks.

idk how ww works but yes

there are niche situations (first pull algethar) where you can spam CT instead of envenom (losing prio damage) and gaining a sizeable amount of overall damage (entirely pad on the lashers btw)

balmy condor

if you're in like 4-5+ aoe, cut out the pooling part at the end

but yes

bleeds, cds, spread, envenom

if you need cp, you either CT to spread

or you fok if you don't need to spread

aside from the target being in enrage obviously :D Just thinking that 10 energy for 1/2 cp doesnt sound too bad no ?

hollow dirge
balmy condor
#

yeah sounds great until you realize that shiv does legit the same damage as an auto attack kek

#

but for generating half the combo points of a mutilate and doing a fifth of the damage, it does cost 40 energy less

sharp mango
#

i was just imagining sitting on 4cp and thinking : Shiv gets me to 5-6 and mut gets me to 5-8 for a fifth of the energy so it didnt seem too bad to me xD

balmy condor

yeh, that is a thing, but is very minor, and it applies to getting from 6cp to 7cp for darkest night

not just willy nilly on every finisher
