Imagine trying to insult someone because you feel the game you play is 'harder'

waxen oyster
#

i mean its just ironic people talk about old wow was difficult

glass viper
#

The same could just as easily be said aobut Wow in its state today...oh look TAB TARGET mmo ez mode

waxen oyster
#

when it was largely considered a casual game

glass viper
#

Just play what you find fun Wow..dota..fps whatver

waxen oyster
#

Its just something funny about classic andys

#

you can never replicate the no internet era

#

now you can wowhead 90% of the game

sacred oyster
# waxen oyster when it was largely considered a casual game

lol yah back in my young days I was an FF11 player who tried wow but considered pre TBC more casual than FF11 then TBC was like the super casual update.

But to me it was more about the grind and time commitment when i considered something casual. WoW was def a huge time commitment to a non gamers perspective, but man did i spend some fucking time on FF11

#

3h world boss spawn windows that only 1 guild can claim, but then potentially spending another 1-2hrs hoping they wipe, for a chance that a rare gear may drop that only 1 person can get, so you spend 2 years waiting for your turn to get it

waxen oyster
#

wasnt 11 single player

#

i thought 14 was the first multi

sacred oyster
#

11 was the first mmo

coral ibex
#

“anyone can enter a dungeon instance and spend an hour getting no loot? hah, casual garbage.”

sacred oyster
#

came out 1yr before wow

#

14 was their attempt to take on wow

#

11 is still being updated and actually grew in subs

waxen oyster
#

i mean classic lost its appeal to me when half the playerbase is about speedclearing powerleveling and gdkp

coral ibex
#

original wow was difficult because you didn’t know anything and your pc sucked so you were playing with high ping and low fps and zero game knowledge

waxen oyster
#

it doesnt have the community sense

weary stump
#

If I want to play classic I'll just go to a retirement home and beat old people at wii bowling

waxen oyster
#

this was before there was a million guides and maps

sacred oyster
coral ibex
#

i remember when there were no questing addons and people PAID for “optimal” quest guides

#

times change

#

now people pay for questing addons

weary stump
# hazy helm

The best part would be that I'd lose every bowling game garf_sit

sacred oyster
#

theres paid quest addons? wtf lol

coral ibex
#

yes rxp is a paid service

#

and you have to buy it every time classic re releases

hazy helm
#

Hell naw, put those old people in the ground where they belong. Out with the old in with the new brother.

sacred oyster
#

bro over here advocating genocide of old people

runic hinge
weary stump
#

They out here getting strikes in bowling with Parkinson's shakes i can't compete with that skill level

coral ibex
#

imagine you bought (lol) restedxp tbc a few years ago

waxen oyster
#

why would you need to buy a new one

coral ibex
#

and now tbc anniversary is out

#

AND THEY MAKE YOU BUY THE SAME QUEST GUIDE AGAIN

waxen oyster
#

the base game didnt change

coral ibex
#

because rxp is owned by greedy mfs who know classic andys will pay

hazy helm
#

I mean, they don’t actually have to buy xpacs, so fk it why not

#

I like it when they by the rxp guide then just dungeon grind

#

Or the guide tells them to dungeon grind lol

coral ibex
#

whats even funnier is you can pay more for the "streamer/creator" guide which directs you away from all the high-traffic areas the normie guide directs you to

sacred oyster
#

and no one else has made a basic quest helper for classic to kill the demand for the paid one?

waxen oyster
#

yeah but its not like tbc itself changed

#

so the route shouldnt change

#

in theory

sacred oyster
#

id expect someone would make a free addon out of spite lol

coral ibex
#

yea but the rxp addon changed in such a way that the original guide doesn't work anymore

#

so you can't just use the old addon or something

coral ibex
hazy helm
#

Anyone else do the experiment in elementary where you had to write the steps down for making a pb&j and no one actually ended up getting to make one?

waxen oyster
#

like classic aint a private server where mob droprates or spawn times etc are adjusted

hazy helm
#

That’s questie

#

Rxp made that damn pb&j and got to eat it

alpine lion
#

What are everyone's thoughts on Assassination energy regeneration going into Midnight?

hazy helm
#

Buff it, anything else?

waxen oyster
#

It feels fine

sacred oyster
#

in actual beta its going to be diff than what we see in prepatch due to apex talents

hazy helm
#

That’s rage bait right dere

weary stump
#

It makes me feel energetic to some extent antennaglorp

waxen oyster
#

Not really i think assa had too much energy last season

shy axle
#

it is true, it is nearly the fastest assa was/is for years

#

and that at the start of an xpac

hazy helm
#

It’s fine as long as you’re going for prio > overall damage

#

The minute you follow CT even at 7 cp bullshit on 10 mobs that don’t matter you’re gonna feel a lil thirsty

waxen oyster
#

prio is realistically just saying st

#

but people want to sound smarter

shy axle
#

yeah, i doubt that is gonna stay long

#

weird shit gets fixed fast

waxen oyster
#

but yeah its probably jarring if you’re used to when assa is literally drowning in energy

#

i.e aoe assa since df s3

hazy helm
#

They honestly just need to swap some of the talents in the tree around, tune a lil and it will be fine. Just like outlaw would legit be fine swapping sleight of hand and deadly pursuit in the tree. Literally would fix outlaw

waxen oyster
#

vw gave you infinite energy the last expac

hazy helm
#

They weren’t bothered by that, they just shift how you got it

waxen oyster
#

I mean assa should play slow

hazy helm
#

Then tuned to make it unrealistic to be able to get it. Just counterintuitive tuning

waxen oyster
#

thats the spec

hazy helm
#

In aoe at least

waxen oyster
#

outlaw is the adhd fiend and sub somewhere in between

hazy helm
#

The spec is absolutely fine in st, as long as you play fb. DS stands for dog shit atm

waxen oyster
#

bring back 105 apm outlaw

#

though

hazy helm
#

105apm outlaw would be so over buffed simply because of the lag on beta it’s not even funny lol

waxen oyster
#

it was live for a bit

#

played fine

#

its just outlaw sucked to play on high ping

hazy helm
#

I mean if it were tested on this beta cycle, the lag pmuch = gl playing a 105 apm spec. Would be artificially buffed because of that

#

False data vs true data etc

waxen oyster
#

maybe i got lucky with beta not lagging too bad

hazy helm
#

I didn’t, made things interesting. Following up a 7cp dispatch with 2 co dispatch felt good

#

I’m sure they’ll tweak Assa enough to be energy regen friendly in aoe without robbing from Peter to give to Paul. They’re good at balancing stuff.

#

Or just give venomous wounds 7 back and buff caustic to 25% and leave it tf alone. Would be cool too

runic hinge
#

I don’t think they want you to ignore your apex capstone in aoe so idk if they tweak the energy

halcyon flame
#

Also I hate how assa spread bleeds now

waxen oyster
#

dot spec has to dot things

sacred oyster
urban fern
sacred oyster
#

wanting to spend all your time putting both bleeds on each target 1 by 1 is masochistic lol

waxen oyster
#

thats part of why assa wasnt much of a real m+ spec

#

until IC

severe meadow
shy heron
#

cut down to... the current cost

desert crest
#

5 is less than current no?

balmy condor
#

But when the beta had no reduction, ya know

humble verge
#

still feels like the new upgrading system is cooked

#

10 20 30 40 and 50

#

instead of just max 90

solar wyvern
#

Well they wanna slow gearing and player power down ig this is a way to do it

#

If they remove the scaling 3% bi weekly raid buff its alright

humble verge
royal lantern
#

probs cus people dont know it yet

#

that will be funny in the first few weeks when people suddenly see "lmao 50 crests for a single upgrade xd"

humble verge

I am playing a rogue in midnight

severe meadow
#

Holy shit we go from 14 people to 15 people playing rogue

thorn thorn
#

yup

#

and with me maybe a couple of people will get more pinks and 100s

severe meadow

#

Going into midnight

buoyant herald

Hyped to play rogue in middy

#

I have a good feeling about assass

shadow lark
#

TWW was my first time playing rogue as well. I enjoyed it a lot until I had to pug keys. then i hated it completely

thorn thorn
buoyant herald
#

Exactly, this expansion was MADE for rogues

@humble verge aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

#

they changed crest costs

#

damm

#

im a prophet, if i complain about stuff they change it

royal lantern
#

ehm

#

DELETE BOOMKIN

thorn thorn
#

Can you complain about pooling not being rewarding next POGfish

whole snow
#

I think they should rework assassination rogue into ret paladin next

royal lantern
#

i think they should rework ret paladin into DF S3 Sub Rogue Next

thorn thorn
thorn thorn

And we can laugh even harder

plush isle

crest change now full circle

humble verge
#

than it was

plush isle

hope the new turbo mechanic doesn't require crests

humble verge

it will

spice surge

Its still 4 upgrades worth of crests

Ye tww, mb

humble verge
runic hinge
spice surge
#

Yes chef

#

In S1 rogue is meta for a month or so before it gets nerfed

tall jay
#

So crests cost go up…do crest we earn go up too?

spice surge
#

The cap goes to 100 instead of 90

thorn thorn
#

Does that make me fotm if i plan on playing rogue BlankStare

coral ibex
#

yes

#

reroll dk asap

haughty flicker
#

should be playing an underdog class

#

like mage

haughty flicker
#

new meta

#

main mage but only ever play whichever spec is currently the worst

halcyon flame
sacred oyster
#

im genuinely not sure if you are being sarcastic

thorn thorn
#

It also gives you combo points and does damage

#

Im failing to see the downside

sacred oyster
#

its all about damage to energy ratio

thorn thorn
#

Most other dot specs are still doing it the old fashioned way of multidotting

#

Shadow has shadowcrash but they currently take a talent that giga buffs swp so you have to manually multidot that too

sacred oyster
#

the bleeds are literally your #1 and #2 in AOE DPS lol

thorn thorn
#

Aff also has to multidot agony but it has "cleave"

runic hinge
thorn thorn
#

Boomie is also multidotting moonfire but it cleaves too

halcyon flame
thorn thorn
#

We have it pretty well comparitively

sacred oyster
halcyon flame
#

They removed the old design so u cant do that ofc.

thorn thorn
#

Then just press ct

#

Very easy

halcyon flame
#

If it spread to 3 more targets it felt better for me

runic hinge
#

garrote is 45 energy and ct is 60 but also applies rupture which is 25

thorn thorn
runic hinge
#

like youre saving energy here

coral ibex
#

idk bro when i dont like how a class or spec plays i just play something else. if the ct change is this much of a boulder around your neck just reroll bro

thorn thorn
#

Its not just that it also generates combo points too so like

#

Idk

#

If you wanna multidot the hard way then play shadow or aff

tall jay
spice surge
#

no

#

Not that we know of

tall jay
#

Cool

halcyon flame
#

Beside the fact I havent seen 1 assasination rogue on prepatch or beta , must be because its so ez now spreading bleeds

coral ibex
#

no its because the tuning is garbage

thorn thorn
tall jay
#

I’m playing sin on prepatch lol

thorn thorn
#

If anybody falls for that bait I will personally be emailing blizzard to cancel your sub

haughty flicker
#

do it nerd

thorn thorn
#

witness me

tall jay
#

I can’t play anything else though lol

thorn thorn
#

Playing sin in prepatch when it can be beat by guardian druid is pretty based

runic hinge
#

sub is 2 buttons so I did that for the little prepatch i played but i think assa plays fun af now, qol is through the roof

royal lantern
#

btw, its funny that they nerfed deffensives across the board

#

except on DK

thorn thorn
#

they forgot to nerf dk

royal lantern
#

DK even gets more tanky in midnight cus they use apocalypse enchant

spice surge
#

They did nerf DKs

coral ibex
#

dk is literally in its own separate tier

spice surge
#

It just matters less

coral ibex
#

above everything else

#

lol

spice surge
#

-8% stamina and they lost a 15% dr cooldown

thorn thorn
#

Lichborne is kill

coral ibex
#

fucking wheelchair class man

#

if a dk ever dies they need to be mocked into a gquit

royal lantern
#

as long as AMS and will of the necropolis exists

#

DK is busted

coral ibex
#

walking around with a passive feint on

#

get real man

thorn thorn
#

Nothing makes me happier than seeing mages at the bottom of the list now

haughty flicker
#

well their passive dr was always bottom

#

or close to it

coral ibex
#

yea

haughty flicker
#

they just had 300 actives

coral ibex
#

but their actives are now also just average

#

honestly i dont get why mages think they should be tanky

#

other than delusion

haughty flicker
#

idk as much as i love to meme about mages i never really had an issue with their defensives

#

they're strong but at least they had to actually use them

#

maybe mirror images was kinda too silly

#

as a new priest main though i will gladly accept others being dragged down to my level

thorn thorn
coral ibex

they can be as strong as they want offensively, but the tradeoff is weak defenses

copper hazel
#

blizzards new accessibility settings

plush isle
#

so blizzard saw mr tomatoheads video

spice surge
#

Disappointingly their takeaway was to buff the weaker ones instead of nerfing the stronger ones

#

But it is what it is

solar wyvern
#

My turn

haughty flicker
#

and they did nerf the strongest outlier

crude helm
#

I think sub numbers would drop if AMS got nerfed

haughty flicker
#

now did they nerf it noticably? probably not, no

runic hinge
#

they should double the cd on divine shield

haughty flicker
#

but i dont think the strongest ones need to be nerfed, the weakest need to be brought up a little

spice surge
#

Idk i just think there should be less/weaker passive DR talents overall

crude helm
#

Agreed

haughty flicker
#

i mean i'd be fine with dk not permanently having a passive wall yeah

#

but outside of that i dont think passive dr is too crazy

solar wyvern
#

We have a passive wall that costs 20 energy allegedly

west gyro
#

its very passive ye

haughty flicker
#

passive except for it being an active

plush isle
#

Rogue should just have a talent like "if you don't have any group members you take -30% damage, doesn't work in pvp", so open world content and delves is a bit less of a pain in the ass

west gyro
#

that sounds like a way too good of an idea, so its not happening

severe meadow
#

DK nerfed pog

buoyant herald
#

that one was a no brainer

spice surge
#

"nerfed"

buoyant herald
#

still a clear winner on the tankiness front i'd guess

nimble tartan
#

guys do you like the new crimson tempest?

haughty flicker
#

afaik only unholy used the rune that got nerfed anyway

#

and frost was still a large bit above the next tankiest

thorn thorn
#

I love new CT

shy heron
dense swan
#

they should combine ct with fan of knives

fleet pagoda
#

They kinda did 🤔 I like that they exist as two separate buttons, personally.

buoyant herald
#

I think it’ll work a bit better once they make the use case for each clearer

#

Ie not have CT and bleeds do so much damage you ignore capping cps and spam it in large aoe

severe meadow
#

Baking CT and FOK together would be so giga boring tho

#

That’s the sliver of decision making we have

#

Do I CT or FOK

haughty flicker
#

fok off

#

And @thorn thorn is watching

sinful verge
#

Watching petko playing assa on beta and he's just energy starved all the time - Is that how assa plays in midnight? or is he likely just playing wrong?

#

/ is it likely to be fixed if assa is just energy starved

static glacier
#

Was petko’s dps starved to the same level as his energy?

sinful verge
#

i mean his energy is floating on the bottom end, 30-50 energy waiting for it to tick up

#

dps looks mid

static glacier
#

Let’s separate two issues that have been conflated here

sinful verge
#

dps value doesn't matter because it'll be tuned ]

static glacier
#
  1. With all due respect to petko he really can be clueless on some of the specs he doesn’t play while testing - solid player overall but he just doesn’t have understanding
sinful verge
#

what matters is how it plays

static glacier
#

And generally sin isn’t any more starved than it was in tww

#

If anything it’s less energy starved

#

The whole idea behind sin is decision through restraint. You CHOOSE to not press something, that in itself is a choice on this spec

#

Whereas on outlaw or fury ur just griefing ur dmg by not pressing stuff all the time

sinful verge
static glacier
#

Not just that

#

Before the apex ever came into the picture, what is pooling?

#

Like conceptually, you’re saying I have a limited amount of energy and combo points to use over a set period of time, I’m going to use them when they would deal the most damage and save / pool energy when they would do less

#

That’s why sin starves (even then it’s not enough to really reinforce the gameplay)

sinful verge
#

Okay so i guess secondary question is are there globals where it is correct to press literally zero globals?

#

If so assa probably isn't for me

static glacier
#

The moment sin is 60apm full energy 24/7 you’ve basically take away choice and turned it into an execution check (can you press this button fast enough)

static glacier
#

I predict petko misplayed tbh

sinful verge
#

Yeah fair enough, so referring to pooling, how do you pool correctly? do you just melee hit and afk?

static glacier
#

But yeah after a long chain / around a rupture refresh you will stop pressing stuff to let energy recharge and env drop for ape

#

Apex

So your globals will look like mut mut -wait- envenom when previous envenom would fall off soon or you would overcap energy

#

It’s a rhythm of sorts

sinful verge
#

ah okay, i get you

#

so you're minmaxing envenom uptime kinda

static glacier
#

A lot of the time it degenerates into gcd spamming for like 20s

#

Then you have to wait for a bit

#

Since blizz have overtuned the energy, it doesn’t starve

#

Also don’t actually underrate the ability to have a break from gcd mashing, watch the screen - check fight timers / position / call things for your group

#

Though ngl with how simple they made everything idk how much of a benefit that is anymore

sinful verge
#

Yeah that's fair enough. I've gone from playing havoc to swapping to rogue for midnight so i'm used to spamming globals

#

I'll try it out at 90 and see how i get on

runic hinge
#

sub kinda too

solar wyvern
#

Sub has a few empty globals leading up to shadow dance to pool energy and sht stacks.

#

Outlaw can occasionally have empty globals since it just expensive on energy and you can miss on opporunity procs but thats pretty uncommon

#

Id say sub will be quite energy saturated with enough haste

#

Apm is suprisingly high

static glacier
#

As you can see @sinful verge people back me up that the starvation scare was blown out of proportion. the design of the spec is acting like it should have large downtime to force gameplay based around the new talents, but reality is you still get to mash a lot of the time

Hey now

#

Great time to start rebuilding your UI

#

As well

stuck lodge
#

Hey rogues, quick question (though I think I might understand where I am confused). The icyvein guide talks about letting improved garrote run its whole course, as normal garrote will override it, but in its opener section it specifically mentions using garrote again to refresh the duration - wouldn't this override the improved version? Or is the intention that you are doing the full opener and hitting garrote again within the 6 second window from razor wire?

balmy condor
#

hitting garrote again within the 6 second window from razor wire?
improved garrote is the talent window, but yes

stuck lodge
#

That feels like a lot of button presses to hit within 6 seconds, but I will try it on some dummies

balmy condor
#

should fall on the last gcd

#

it's not too important regardless

#

like if you want to, you could technically just garrote -> garrote immediately from stealth and move on with your life for very minimal losses

stuck lodge
#

Would that just maximize the pandemic addition right away? Still trying to understand how pandemic works fully

balmy condor
#

yeah so the way pandemic works is it will extend your next cast by up to a maximum right

#

!pd

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

balmy condor
#

that 30% is the max

#

so if you double garrote back to back (in this example without razor wire cause the math is right here)

#

the next one is 23.4 seconds

#

18 from the cast, and 5.4 being the max transfer

#

if you had waited lets say to the end of the imp gar window

#

you would've had 5 seconds of garrote ticking

#

but it's the same math

#

now you're at 13 seconds from your first garrote, 5.4 is the max transfer

#

so your next garrote is still 23.4

#

by delaying the second garrote cast, you essentially just gained the extra damage from the time between the casts

#

which like yeah, its "free" damage

#

but your garrote would've been ticking regardless right? It's just empowered for those 5 seconds

#

so you're getting 50% more damage for 5 seconds

#

which is the equivalent of 2.5 seconds of regular garrote ticks

#

not world ending in the slightest

#

you lose like 2 ticks of damage

#

so if it's more comfy, just double garrote, easy peazy

#

hopefully that makes sense

stuck lodge
#

I'm not a math person, but I think I get the gist. Razor wire would mean more damage left off due to the longer duration right?

balmy condor
#

razor wire slots into this by making the base duration longer

#

which then inherently means you get more pandemic as well

#

the real power of razor wire is that you have to cast garrote less over the course of the fight

#

which is just more energy efficient

#

but it does have the side effect of making this pandemic interaction better

solar wyvern
#

Goes up to 30 seconds 8)

#

Which conviently lines up with rupture pretty well

balmy condor
#

yeah in aoe when you're spreading that's another good QoL

solar wyvern
#

Yeah worst part of assa aoe rn is being in a pull for over a minute and your rupture is at 40 seconds and your garrotes at 24 and u have to respread cts

#

And then respread them again

#

A shame u can only ig every 2mins

stuck lodge
#

crimson tempest does seem a little clunky only spreading to 2 enemies

solar wyvern
#

Meh thats w.e, old assa spreading was 3 targets and it was way less important to get the 6th rupture out from it

stuck lodge
#

Do you just spam it until the pack has the bleeds after you set them up basically?

solar wyvern
#

Currently yes, since ct base damage is so high

#

But the idea is u ct to 5+ envenom

#

Until all bleeds are out

stuck lodge
#

so you basically aren't pushing mut in aoe

solar wyvern
#

Never

#

If 2 targets, fok is your guy

stuck lodge
#

I would have thought you still use mut because it generates more cp for envenom chaining

solar wyvern
#

Mut is 2-4 cp for 50 energy, fok is 1-3 for 35 energy

balmy condor
#

fok generates a cp for every crit

#

so more targets = more cp

stuck lodge
#

I'll have to work on that muscle memory then, thanks!

Guys, I need your help... I've been trying to improve my DPS for days... but I'm still having the same problem with the damage I'm doing with "Caustic Spatter"... could someone help me?

I always see that it's the greatest damage by a long shot, but I can't manage it.

balmy condor

that looks pretty normal

sudden pawn
#

PD: that is a +16 key u.u

balmy condor

what logs are you looking at

that is the best +16 ara kara in warcraflogs... that and others always have caustic spatter on first dps

that's pre-nerf caustic KEKL

Hahaha... even though it's the pre-patch, I'm still worried, I want to switch to rogue for this season, and don't want to get kicked from the core team for bad DPS u.u

if you're getting kicked for bad dps during prepatch

the "core team" is full of dumbasses

does envenom count as a "weapon poison" for 2ndry poisoning?

no

#

weapon poisons are specifically the 1 hour buff

crude helm

One day we’ll be able to track the important portion of implacable

#

Wait can’t you make an addon?

#

It would probably be tricky with the dynamic timer of envenom

balmy condor
#

you can't track it with an addon either

crude helm
#

Well you’d make a bootleg one

#

That just counts your envenom casts

balmy condor
#

can't do that either

that would need to read combat log

stuck thistle
#

True to assume assa is broken without its apex talents? Seems im starving during every encounter and kinda getting discouraged to play it in midnight.

balmy condor
#

the apex talent "fixes" that, but not really

#

downtime is the name of the game with the spec

#

and it always will be

#

the apex gives you a reason to play around that downtime and gives you energy ideally when you're starved to bump you back up

#

but in the greater scheme of energy, the apex is only giving you like 10% extra energy

#

so you will still inevitably starve

stuck thistle
#

Right. Ye thats what im thinking. It seems so broken now compared to before pre-patch.

#

Thanks for the insight.

#

Concerning.. 😅

buoyant herald
#

whats the waiting time in current sims

sharp stump

Well handy just in general to know what has my poisons on it and what doesn't

balmy condor
#

Everything has poisons on it

#

You’re pressing fok and ct on 2 targets

#

They spread bleeds, guaranteed even with thrown precision

sharp stump
#

Yeah, but still it's a personal preference thing

balmy condor
#

If you insist I guess

sharp stump
#

??? alright dude

#

Could've just said no and left it at that, not sure why you felt the need to hit me with attitude for something in my UI that might not be necessary, but is something that I'd like to have

Maybe he tried to make you realize that there is no actual reason to put more clutter on your ui and help you by doing so?

it's just that it's actually just bloat, youre not going to change anything if one mob or w/e doesnt have poison, it will have it any second from base play

The best part about all of this is that the first part of whispyrs reply was answering the question

balmy condor
#

If I may be allowed to graciously to give my opinion, I actually liked tracking deadly poison

But with the changes even if there was an addon that could ignore the filtering

#

I just can’t get myself to justify adding it

#

And that’s fine

cunning needle
balmy condor
#

I play my game

balmy condor

It’s just visual bloat at the end of the day cause I can’t make a decision off of it

#

And I’m trying to be as minimal and no-addon as possible

#

It is what it is

civic trellis
#

tracking poison application was a relic from way back when it was quite important, but it lost meaning more and more. now blizzard ripped the bandaid off.

balmy condor
#

Pretty much

#

It is very strange that half of my spec is poisons, nature damage is the majority of my damage, and yet the only gameplay involved in any of it is a single apex point

#

But that’s the midnight vision idk

#

Frankly I’m surprised envenom still has a buff at this point and they didn’t just get rid of it

lethal arrow
#

i liked tracking wound poison in pvp

balmy condor

Is wound poison gone too

That’s rough

lethal arrow
#

maybe, i havent done any 3s on rogue since patch

balmy condor
#

Rip random throw dagger from a mile away to refresh the poison

lethal arrow
#

very useful

balmy condor
#

Although I guess PvP is all focus frames and shit anyway right

#

What’s the meta for that

#

I remember people doing like 900 keybinds cause they could target like party1 and party2 or whatever

lethal arrow
#

i think we had

#

frame sort

#

that makes it more straightforward

#

but yeah target party 1/2/3 and arena 1/2/3 still mandatory

#

framesort was nice cuz it just had a @enemyhealer thing so ur spell always goes on the healer if u needed to

#

and now its gone tired
