i also played enhance last season, so calm down lil rogue fellas. u dont understand buttons until you played ehance
Get lost
why do you think im complaining about sin having extra buttons?
I mean if that is your concern, isn't it just better to pay someone to power level you?
Once the ragebait gets boring, I have a oneway ticket to Bahamas ready, so dont let it get to that.
Echo and Liquid crying coz Hanasong rejected their inv btw
im tired boss
you never gonna be efficient solo grinding anyways
i just wanna chill
good thing there are other classes to play then!
lol i never said i was good enough for good guilds?
dont gotta take away other people's fun just cuz you dont enjoy it

Awful weather this time of year too
That's no longer concern. It was a problem in DF & SL
Hope you enjoy playing bear fella 
this started by me saying i liked sins bleed spreads last season more, btw
Still a wild statement
and then i got attacked
I’m gonna do my delves as bear when I get home for practice
Thats certainly one way to represent what happened
Im impressed this is still going though
Big copium angle is that cat gets megabuffed in heroic week and I still get to be a cutiemeow
thats still a personal opinion?
Yes!
My dream as well..
nerf feral
We are already below bears what du you want orange man??
Hell would probably freeze over before our raid lead swaps off feral
@jaunty notch Stop that
everybody is
sorry
i hope ferla is the strongest

im just saying, i told the subs like an hour ago i hated shadow dance. no one gave a fuck. u guys got probs

Say it again
👍
most of us read you typing in here fwiw
We need that
and just decided to not pay you heed
Cuz thats a weird ass statement too
did you also read my legit criticisims?
or opinions at least
If they were legit, they would have engaged with you 
would they. how vitriolic u guys are, i dont know


i read it, dont agree with it in so didn't really care to engage all that much
more busy playing with pup
I actually want to play sub like it is in mop
we need pup pictures
thats cool, aint mad that tha
you are lucky, blizz has classic servers
i agree i want to see it
there do be a thread for that
ok ill go find
No way!
i am fluffing up my cat he is so cool
oh true, i forgot that the thread is not cats only
the fluffer 
also posted her in the portal room fwiw
I only saw one doggo, but you said you had three, so Im getting scammed
other two aint home
SCAMMED.
Bring them home
they wont be for about a month until puppy is settled in
i see some other names are here tho now. is it strange for people to mention a build in your spec sub and things to get this antagonistic?
Define antagonistic
depends on you go about it, if you show up with 0 data and its all about feels, you will be called out

immediately rejecting that persons hypothesis
bro you didn't even have a hypothesis
Disagreeing is not antagonistic
noit mine
you talked about some secret build on a youtube video
and didnt drop it for 25 minutes
it wasnt a secret...
idk you dropped some random vague statement about a build
and then went "prove me wrong"
@cunning needle how was food ?
i fucked up and added too much stock
yeah, and he said he didnt understand it. which is fair
I love it when ur soggy
i was trying a new method

basically was boiling the onions instead of frying them
why are you guys so opposed to hearing a diff pov?
dont think i'll do that next time
we're not. You just gotta articulate your point better
or even someone asking questions
bc what you said was non sense + 0 evidence of what you said
you won't believe this, but rogue discord is acutally one of the better class discords for both research and questions answered
Its not about hearing different views, its about them being made with data to back them up. in fact, let me flip it right on back, why are you opposed to our pov? 
because you guys are the TCers so the burden is on you to prove his statements
ehhh i have response, but i wont throw someone under the bus fo rit
Okay, so no data, gotcha
yeah, no data, but im not a dick head like u guys so...
I see, well, let me get this ticket for you

Sawgy
listen, if i cared, if throw him under. and tbh idk if he would even care lol. but you have to have your own principles
not like youd understand

he's about to ruin whispyrs career... 
nooooo
how can we fit drama between our gcds? I'm lost

Let me know in a day if you want to continue on the path of vagueposting and just generally insulting the intelligence of the channel. 
booooooo


rip
fun police
Funs over, this chat is now about why stealthi hasnt posted pictures of all his dogs
Mods chop his balls off
wait stealthi has multiple?
true
@earnest remnant dogs where?
Where's the dog pictures @earnest remnant ?
i actually have at random points
you just never paid attention
Its because I was too focused on paying attention to you
Asking for his dogs and bros gunna post his feet in here
the ger sher p at roughly 1 year
That was my plan, we still dont have Stealthistep in the emoji collection
5 year old shiba at the yearly bath day, she was not amused one bit
what guardian form is that?
feral
farole
pog
Whitch spec feel best for raiding from beta right now?
Rogue
I'm gunna wager a guess and say it's not outlaw
So u can flip a coin for the other 2
flip a coin? that's fatebound 
it might be easier to swap around sin-sub than outlaw
Im not excited either on my one year bath
it is
esp now that sub scales with haste

Sin seems like it will suck for lower keys
Plus lower keys are fine to kinda suck at anyways as long as your spec of choice feels good in higher ones
If you suck at lower keys it means that the overall group dmg is decent, in which case it doesn't matter if you suck. Lower keys will always favor the most bursty classes/specs.
Did boyo get a 24 hours !mr
Yuh, lets see what happens tomorrow
tomorrow is nothing
you mean friday

Tryan missing critical information 
DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Wish that were you
Its jsut Koffing pressing ferocious bite yo
release is the 26th at 11pm so tomorrow 😛
so should I reroll next xpac or can I do still do my 3k score and curve runs on rogue
Just wait. Till the 24th
ill be getting my sin to 3k but its going to be awful lol
Do we have any sim info available yet from beta like we have before with the patches in TWW?
i've been running beta and consistently 30k behind other classes unless its lock or mage then the gap is like 50k
the pooling does not feel rewarding at all either
Ouch that hurts
i hit 3200 before prepatch on the rogue so not the highest tier but not super scrubby either if that tells you anything
I was hoping the apex talents would fix some of that but I guess not
it helps for sure but the burst just isn't there so you pool to get not a lot out of it
I was just short of 3200 myself. Currently 50/50 between sin and sub next season
but maybe someone else has thoughts on it or played it but its looking bad imo sub feels good but after 3 min of it im like oh hey squirrel
by feels good i mean does the most damage roguewise
Fair
Please be true
i hadn't seen that yet
false
it's impossible to get aotc unless you play bm
Confirmation on that time from where?
Or is that London time release?
it releases 26th at 3PST
if you are in europe it is 0:00 from 26th to 27th berlin time, -1 for london?
it is london rerlease
Thank god
I need an addon that shows me how many targets in combat do not have bleeds up on them
Is there such an addon?
No I think they killed things like that
Nope, and you cant make one
It also doesnt really matter that much
Most of the time you probably aint gonna spread bleeds to all of them anyway, since theres likely a big prio mob you care more about than some small trash mobs right next to it
Oh man, the drama dude got 24'ed. What am I supposed to do until tomorrow now
If he actually had any log showing anything to back up his original argument maybe it wouldn’t have gone so bad for him
He just feel craft and vague posted his way to a mute
How strong will sudden demise build be early on? Last time I played assa was tww s1 and sudden demise build went hard
Did the guides get updated for midnight now that we aren't getting any changes? I need something to shameless copy so I can feel like I will be productive in my m0 dungeons
Guides should be updated soon or even now, depending on which one
12 second cd on cheapshot okay with us? really makes subterfuge way less valuable
I don't think anyone played subterfuge for cheapshot
They’ll know
This channel is more pve
yeah wanted to add maybe for PvP it's a thing
thanks
Np love you
if assa does no exceptional dps there is no point in picking them in any comp sadly
That’s true of most specs. If you do good damage the utility and route will get worked out
but rogues have very little utility
I mean they have good CC
but even that can be compensated with other classes
If rogue does the most dps the comp will get worked around rogue being in it
i wish i got the mods annoyed enough to get a 24
Didn’t you get a 72 for something not that long ago
Time is weird now. That was a while ago
yea my pregnancy is worrying

how does ass feel in raid for midnight?
I love ass in any context
i miss boner ass
Where does one acquire such statue
its giving you a discount
2700 usd, statue looks big asf ngl
How many people do you think will simp for Valeera in Midnight?
assa bros...
Schizoposting
don't need midnight to do so
eating popcorn waiting to see how they fix this class balance
It’s hilarious how half baked Devourer plays atm in pre-patch and yet it crushes everyone damage wise
its never been more over
rogues in 80s. locks in the 150s. 17th bout to see some clown lvl buffs and nerfs
Where did you see that?
The voices won 
Does assa feel like fucking shit in the prepatch due to the lack of apex talents or are the energy issues the same in midnight?
Anyone know
yes
You still have a lot of empty globals
Because thats what the spec is designed around
assa does blow in prepatch but its still gonna be slower than tww when midnight actually drops
Slow is fine, but not dealing dmg or be able to keep dots up properly because u have no energy after 20 sec
Did a +14 key and on many pulls the spec just felt awful
Pre patch is a bit of a shit show
Mostly just wondering if ppl from the ptr felt like the apex talent and chaining envenoms makes the spec feel fluid
Because now it does feel like a shitshow, but does not matter if it is fixed at lvl 90
how can you not keep dots up lol
like, thats not "wtf energy" (which is basically the same as it was in TWW, and it will get only more during the expansion itself)
thats "what the fuck are you even doing"
press CT twice type beat
not enough energy to press garrote and rupture once every 25 seconds?
Envenom maxing

mate, if you spam envenom and dont look at dot timer to refresh them
thats you playing bad
What do you mean?
nothing else
frking tourists jesus christ
Aaahh yes, someone disagrees with you and they are tourists
The apex does help with energy yes
Envenom and dot uptime don't feel problematic on beta
Thank you, 🙏
We should also have a guide up today at some point if it’s not already up
Been playing assa rogue since cataclysm, never felt this energy starved
Was just wondering if the spec felt like this also in midnight or just pre patch
We do feel pretty bad in pre patch
While his words of choice were... loving, he's not really wrong. Even in prepatch you should be able to fully maintain dots and spread effectively. If you feel you are unable to do that you are likely using envenom too much or not tracking dot timers close enough
Never said he was wrong, I was mostly implying the spec feels bad to play atm, and if it was designed like this it is not good
If you let dots drop it hurts your energy income which exasperate the feeling of starved
Tldr just log off and slam early access tomorrow or when midnight goes live o7
Apex is ~10% more energy
But also fwiw the spec is pretty much the same pace is was before
Just that you dont have infinite energy in aoe
And in some big pulls, keeping track of energy and dots just didnt feel to good compared to what is used to be
Well dot tracking you basically just track your main target now
And on bosses when you run out on tea, also felt really slow
You spread until you are content and when your main target is about to expire you start over again
True in most cases yes
Yeah idk I really haven’t felt much issue with energy on prepatch either, would definitely agree that it feels about the same pace as all of TWW
Without energy sniping some stuff feels a bit worse but yeah
But seems to be very common feedback so maybe it’s just different points of view
And how acceptable slowing down is to different people
I think in ST it feels basically the same
You do very much feel it in AOE just because we are all used to unlimited energy
But I also think it feels smoother now that you don't have pre conditions to get Caustic up and you can start spreading immediately as opposed to waiting 5 business days for the tank to finish his pull so you can leave stealth
100% agree with spatter
And the rework overall seems to be in the right direction, but something in pre patch feels abit off for me atleast
CT now a builder and spreading dots also a great change
We’re one of the lowest number specs in prepatch due to (lack of) tuning for these 4 weeks
Which inherently makes anything feel bad
Hah yeah, tried sub and that felt bad also in a +15 key
Dmg wise atleast, devour DH was doing some insane dmg
Sub should be ok, the burst is nuts and shows up pretty well in all but the highest keys
Dev is one of the more highly tuned specs right now so not surprising
Both devs actually
As long as our damage is good enough through dots during pooling phases, and the burst phases are rewarding, then it'll be fine - just need to get used to the downtime
I have absolutely no concerns
Fair
Aww man, new guide says I have to learn deathstalker for M+
boo, my all passive hero talents
though it looks like its basically just tab target envenom when you have the buff
Both are viable for M+, and if you don't like/struggle to play Deathstalker then Fatebound will probably perform better for you
Honestly
I just make my DS target my focus and keybind target focus target so i can quickly turn to do whatever cc is needed to casters then swap back to what has DS on it
I'm old and washed up now so the lower APM and the downtime is excellent.
I'm just old. To say I'm washed up would be to imply I was ever better at this game - and I was not.
I raid Heroic, push 2.5-3k io, and have a great time with friends
I killed 2 boars at once in vanilla and didnt die. Been washed up since then.
Bet neither one of the fuckers had a liver
If I wanna swap between sub and sin this expac should I just gear for sub like previously since assa was in a "all stats are good situation" during tww? or do our secondaries matter more in midnight?
Im assuming secondaries still don't have a major impact for assa
its looking like sub will have stricter haste requirements
I think people were suggesting haste/crit/mastery > Vers
i'd gear for sub then just get some rings/neck for assa if there ends up being enough of a difference to care
cool cool ty
So, the apex talents will not change the energy starvation, especially in m+ ?
They will help
Will they give you as much energy as you had in TWW? No
But the gameplay has changed
are you still a newfound priest? 
Mood
Ive got arthritic hands and probably some carpal tunnel issues starting up
Slow apm is good
Recovering Outlaw Rogue?
people were saying around 10% more generation overall
Worse
Artist
My only standing complaint is that Thistle Tea and Improved Garrote made it through the reworks
dont want improved garrote?
just more dmg frome garrote overall then or?
They removed all stealth reliant things bar Improved Garrote and Iron Wire
Should have just removed them all imo
and compensate for it how?
Yeah the stealth weaving stuff could be left to sub
I'm not a dev, so I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of balancing and how just moving the damage baseline would affect things
But yeah, I don't like that it's the last remaining stealth requirement on a spec they specifically stated they were removing stealth reliance
Healer
Why tea hate tho
I mean they achieved it, all 3 specs still have a dps use for vanish
yeah I see were you are getting at, just keeping improved garrote seems abit counter intuitive
Tea is a little awkward because it makes your opener and first couple rotations feel really good
and then its just gone
The amount of times I've had a tea proc when the mob dies
thats my feeling aswell sometimes
Also yeah not a fan of a charge reliance like that
I mean it serves its purpose, it's there helps you in opening burst in lust and with spreading dots in AOE m+
Then you are just managing energy
It's also just a button you don't need to look at
It would be worse without it imo
I think in M+ you are going to get the full benefit like once, and then chain pulls means its sorta just there sometimes
My thoughts aren't remove it and do nothing else
Obviously they'd need to compensate
You only need it once because then the dots are helping generate energy
Just not with a 3 charge energy shot
after the first pack, you need to reapply every time
and you wont have 3 stack tea for that
They won't because it would go against their design goal to just natty increase our energy income
If you are chain pulling the mobs still have dots generating energy, you also have travel time to regain charges. If you are not then either you aren't really chain pulling and kinda just griefing or doing small pulls which shouldn't require much effort to get dotted
Unlike a lot of people I won't say "do this instead" because I'm not arrogant enough to believe I know the perfect solution
But I can safely say I'm not a fan of Thistle Tea
I mean it's perfectly fine to dislike it, but it's completely passive and is just free energy. It's like slice and dice
Slice and Dice doesn't have a charge system or long cooldown
So not really the same
I get that it's a passive proc now, but it's the finite resource spike on a 1min CD logic I'm not a fan of
On how many targets we start using FoK ?
2 is what I have been told
Looking cute today Bel
Why does blindside push muti up to 2 targets?
all it is is 15% increased chance for ambush proc?
Assume it's because the CP generation of Ambush procs plus the damage etc works out better than FoK
chance at bonus dmg so you wanna mut probs
i am not a knower i am simply a parrot
but you have to ambush or mut to proc blindside
so using it at 2t for chance at the free one is apparently worth
But since the current build shown for M+ doesn't have Blindside, it's 2+ targets 🙂
In Raid yeah, 3+ as you'll have Blindside
I agree. It could be handy to use as part of a burst but I find myself hovering comfortably at around 50% energy anyway so it either doesnt proc or I'll manually use it and overcap.
Its awkward
Or, so many bugs it bugged the bug command
I feel like the biggest bug for Assassin is that Ret Paladins can see stealth for 30 seconds.

nah its ret pallies, probably intended
the melee class that can do their rotation from like 15yds away
outlaw rogues in shambles
stack a couple festering strikes then leave melee for 30 seconds
ret AND uhdk? must be a plate problem - nerf arms
the appropriate response tbh
real and true
And legs
Buff sin by 15%
ngl I was a ret enjoyer at the end of DF
I love my melee class with extra range
There is definitely the bug from stealth where garrote isn't giving 3 cp per use. The wowhead opener in AoE says to use garrote twice then rupture, which should put you at 6 cp, but instead you are at 4
?
opener
Ohh AoE, you did - my mistake
I asked whispyr about it and they said it was just a bug and use a FoK or something in between for now
because garrote, garrote only gets you 4 cp
Fair enough, he knows what he's talking about
Well although tuning dates have been confirmed for 17th March
We still might see some big fixes before then
I had a bug last week where Garrote from stealth was consuming combo points, not giving them. I submitted to blizz - not sure if that has anything to do with what u were saying
how bizarre
I thought I was going mad, or the ability/talents had changed without me knowing
Should I pull energy for kingsbane windows ?
Not really no
I assume this will also not give a noticable gain in energy regen ?
would you rather have extra energy and combo points or not be able to change targets
Mfw the power of ds is actually in ftb and clear the witnesses
And corrupt the blood xd
but ds is more dps in aoe I guess
Is Whispyr aware that the consumables page in the wowhead guide isn't updated?
Quick question, do i need a hotkey for Thistle Tea for min max or just use it automatically?
auto is fine - the mastery buff is gone
now this is content
tierlist tierlists are hype
are we getting a tierlist of tierlists again? 😮
bit of a bug but yes
alright, didn't wanna bother you unnecessarily
no worries
the wowhead guides went up early this time around
so there's some stuff that just is lagging behind
My tierlist of specs based on how likely you are to have a specific relationship with them
yeah, was wondering why there was no big post for the class guides
Hello, hello! Has anyone gained experience through the beta that Assa feels better in Midnight than it does now in the pre-patch? I love the spec, but in the pre-patch I somehow feel the Sub more.
feels better how
I currently have the feeling that there is no damage, that the bleeding and toxins have no major effects, but only enven
damage is better in beta, yes
the damage breakdown itself is similar to beta though
so like, if you think bleeds and poisons do nothing, they will still do nothing
although bleeds are incredibly strong right now so I'm not sure what gives you that impression
Yes, that's just the opinion of a noob, so I only spent a short time on Tww because I realized that the sub's secret technique is just brutal xD
But it's nice to hear that my impression was/is wrong and that I can give midnight another chance.
thank u :3
np
think WW should be bumped a little cause they def more ride a die with how many issues their spec has faced lol
ya know sometimes ya just have a crash out cant be stuck as a punchin bag forever
Ret pala mentality for sure 
lmao
They get stuck in the good coworker
The one you always like to see but wouldnt hang out with outside of work
deer god

@balmy condor thank you sir
np
Gonna be sleeping a long time
Midnight Guides
My Midnight Guides are now updated on Wowhead, and @marble hemlock has updated the icyveins guide as well if you prefer that format. For any questions regarding the spec, please check the wowhead guides below first:
Beginner
Talents
Rotation
BiS/Gear
or the Icyveins guides here:
Easy Mode
Talents
Rotation
Gear (including preseason if you're interested)
Additionally as you may have heard, I am now also the class guide manager at wowhead, and some of these pages have received a face-lift and a new template. If you have constructive feedback regarding the pages and the guide in general, please do let me know so I may better serve the community. I cannot guarantee that every class and spec has a perfect guide or that your suggestion will be put in, but I care deeply about the guides and the community. Thank you guys for your patience and support, I hope you all enjoy midnight!
P.S Sim updates and videos soon maybe (it's been busy time at wowhead as you can expect)
thx pookie
Ill kiss it dont tempt me
wait
Puzzle box is bis again

Dw its among the best for sub too

Especially for aoe

Since when was fatal concoction better than 2x lethal dose susge
all of beta
is this meant to still say s3
Also just a lil qna but your pure ST page and normal raid page show identical talents just fyi
on this breakdown, lethal dose affects 46% of your damage, 1% of which would be 0.46% dps added, poisons are doing 10% of you damage, so 20% added is 2% dps
it's like
not even remotely close
well 0.46 per stack
so still <2%
and also fatal conc right
more prio

big
well, outside of cds

will fix
Okay so who the fuck was tellin me that fatal conc was trash man
Zzzz i was jebaited
in m+, especially bigger pulls, lethal is totally fine
to be clear
like if you're CT spamming giga bleed go go
then yeh
I took someones word for it but i was like theres no way fatal conc is bad
Ye makes sense
fixed 
but yah like in raid when you transition to more AoE talents for cleave fights or whatever
after doomblade, which is like, dogshit pure ST talent
the next talent to drop is lethal dose
it's one of the weaker talents unless you find yourself in big boy aoe
what if i dont have constructive feedback?
Wait for those tuning notes..
Doomblade stocks about to go up
Imagine the only buff is like 250% doomblade 


PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX PUZZLE BOX
Please no 
Oh well, I will simply manipulate my rng so that I never get one 

Who actually wants to use puzzle box
pharaoh
That guide isn’t updated yet :)
You're min/maxing buddy
CE and all orange parses
Rogue parsing was so pog in s3 tho
not with puzzlebox in your hands
rogue [ 
Ya with puzlebox instead of blues with a few purples ill get slightly more purples 

We go plume
Fuck the box
plume gaming
puzzle box
First week myth puzzle box in vault

No other good options

2 wrists, a cloak, 2 tier slots but it’s not tier
And the myth puzzle box
Curse of ra be on you
It's a 2 second cast, yeah?
Ya
iirc you can start the cast during a gcd
so it ends up slightly faster kinda sorta
but i wont be using it anyway

Priest life
i havent even looked at what trinkets are being used
the op one but idk what the other is
Melee seems to be a lot of aln + plume
And casters are aln + that blue dragon eye thing
yeah thats exactly what it ended up being
It’s almost like I’ve been stuck reviewing and editing for like 3 days straight
I dont even expect them to nerf aln much, despite it being op, becuase its probably intentionally strong so we dont skip the 1 boss raid
Yeh
Basics section newly added? 
It existed before but got a new template
Why is puzzle box back 


Gear, rotation, beginner, talents have new templates
The season guides will as well
yuge
Slow upgrades
needs that on the boomkin guide (they said to craft an agi weapon w1 of TWW)

Am I correct in assuming these bullet points are prio in the order (so envenom at 5+ even if some targets dont have bleeds, then CT again after to continue spreading)? I tend to overthink things 
So I can just spam CT until all targets are bled even if overcapping combo points? I suppose getting the extra regen on higher target counts is more important in the long run
Spam CT that’s all from what I see!
Yes CT until everything has bleed
nice! ty
just to go back to this message for a sec, I play PoE and reading is not our strong suit
Syntax is important
it seems a little crazy to me that secondary poisoning would beat out flying daggers in M+
Not saying the guide is wrong, just definitely not what I expected
and that either would be taken over flat 20% rupture bonus dmg
Well the other people are not reading it either
Because it says if you hit 5 cp OR all targets have bleeds stop casting crimson tempest
Oh so, I was correct initially?
With an asterisk right next to it that the cp thing can be ignored in high target counts
(because its probably getting nerfed to not be the case fairly soon, so its in additional notes rather than baseline)
Yes
Well that's a first
ty ❤️
The question marks explain stuff too idk why it’s missing there
Guide looks good Whispyr. Grats on being guide manager!
Thank you
Its there now! Probably a cache issue on my end
and yeah, thank you as always for your work ❤️
also the second line changed since the last screenshot 

Caching I assume
I haven’t been home in two hours
Couldn’t have changed it even if I wanted to
Can anyone help me understand when I am supposed to be using shiv as fatebound? I see we spend a point to improve it, but its not in the rotation and I didn't even have it on my bar tbh
You don’t use it rotationally
It’s a utility key to soothe enrages
Like kidney shot
Or blind
CC type button
use it for the love of the game
But like.. why invest a talent point into improving it then?
When that seems so niche compared to kidney or blind etc
the only other options for that gate are gouge/reducedblind cd or faster in stealth right?
and imp wound poison, stillshroud and unbreakable also.
I should probably put it on my bar then
Gouge is functionally worthless, reduced blind cd is already taken
it doesnt look like it is
we got poison tracking woooooo
Yeah, was just listing that gates other options if you didnt pick toxic stiletto for fatebound, reduced blind cd isnt taken on the guide at least from what I can see but may be a cache issue my end again
In terms of pure dps I can imagine reducing shivs energy cost makes sense, because it will eat less when you are forced to use it mid fight
Whereas the other options are utility

Well
Regardless
Useless utility points
What can you do
until/unless they fix airborne irritant making blind aoe its probably pretty important to take still
but if we're assuming that gets fixed then yeah not really something that matters
Probably won't have the aoe part again if they wanted to move away from rotating cc/defensives on m+
well
it would make rogue the only class in the game without an aoe stop
which i dont think they would intend to do
Still probably worth as a hard cc in m+ on a shorter cooldown
Rogue pocket sand
dungeon dependant most likely then
Maybe, more kicks more better usually
Hey just checking the guide. In the opener, it appears we’d overcap after implacable kingsbane with this sample opener. Idk if we have enough time to hit envenom before reapplying imp garrote. What do you think?
its not an again thing, its still in the game
its just not in the tooltip
Oh!!! Shows how much attention I have been paying to prepatch dungeons then 
bel

When play shadow
ive been playing shadow ever since prepatch
im actually working on remaking my ui with arcui instead of bcdm atm
yeah
potentially healing if any of our healers gets shot or something
but shadow main
Do I use my free boost to make an arms warrior in anticipation for the inevitable giga buff? 

is there any sort of playaround with puzzlebox to not be super toxic cancer and murder improved garrote?
guessing garrote, mute, rupture, puzzle box > garrote?
or just fuggit
You do not have time and we do not play around the implacable combo points
Death
Would have to like gar mut rupture gar mut mut env box cds
I still need to sim cd logic with box to be fair
Like it “works” atm
But it’s not great
i prob wont play it unless its just giga better
just because.. you know
but its going to be farmable early and given how sims will turn out for loot prio im mentally preparing myself
Could do gar mut rup mut mut gar box envenom cds
So if I do the same opener from preseason I can potentially not waste any combo points? The only downside seems to be like 5s later on popping CDs
Or is that strictly worse?
Yeah something like that idk
Are we depending on Blizzard to fix shrouded for double garrote in aoe?
Or just double garrote anyways and cry internally
Idk what you mean by that, it’s the same opener
Who else do u depend on to fix it xd
You double garrote regardless, just need to cast a fok
On preseason I garrote mut rup mut garrote envenom into CDs
so double garrote FOK then rupture into CDs?
Ye u just wanna start mashing ct asap tbh
I mean yeah if you do a wrong opener you can continue to be a wrong opener I guess
I’m just confused why it’s wrongggg. Seems like optimal way to prolong improved garrote and not waste any combo points
You’re wasting time on imp gar
As of right now, the combo points from implacable are not worth it
You just ignore them
Hmm okay
Maybe if I fix box timing then that’ll change
But like with current info it’s just fuck the cp
We talking aoe yes?
I was talking st
St
I was speaking about AOE myself
Seems odd to me considering envenom still our best dmg but I trust the data sniffer
We dont care about implacable strikes cp ? Sheeesh
No
Oh i see what were talking about
I didnt read far enough back
I mean technically in the opener, u can land on 6 if kingsbane doesnt crit so the IG isnt wasted cp
Don’t you still get like 3 cp from it with the shrouded suff
(Assuming it’s fixed)
But even then, who cares about 2 cp in our cd window
Were energy saturated
So "inefficient" globals are still good if they come with benefits other than cp
I feel like I’m not fully energy saturated during cd’s tho. Like it’s way more energy but not unlimited spam
Still talking ST for raid
Yeah list is different
You are physically not able to spend the energy
U have to not proc blindside once i feel
And even then, without it talented on m+ beta my cd windows were unlimited
Maybe haste issue
I dont even proc tea during dm
Yeah I’m still in a build with like barely any haste so that might be the diff
Ah well anyways I’m excited love how sin is feeling and hope it’s the go-to rogue spec for Raid this szn!
Surely blizzard doesn’t leave demo lock at 140k
Surely
he manages the ppl that make the class guide
so he is whipping the slackers?
he pings guy to update outlaw guide
I make the templates, do the reviews of all the specs, fix whatever issues the writers have, instructions for the patches, compensation stuff for their work, look for new writers to replace ones that have quit, mass update the navigation bars and titles, work with SEO to optimize pages, etc etc etc.
Basically everything other than filling the guides with the info for the spec
damm
I say hey, here’s new templates or here’s the updates for your guides, they’re due X day, they write the guides, send them back
And everything before points and after that point
Is me
I also am the guy who’s like hey the guides would benefit if XYZ was something we could do
And feature request from the devs and stuff
Busy busy busy
Is the tldr

just put the wowhead guides in the bag little man
He also has to fit in lots of Maple Story between each line he put above
I haven’t actually played all week
My friends convinced me to do like 4 games of Aram mayhem
And erm
That’s kinda it
hes now buying monsters by the case
thank god you arent missing much in wow lol, this is the deadest the game has felt since ive come back
I didn’t show up to raid sales the last 2 weeks either
def felt like i missed out playing something like fellowship or arc raiders
yeah wonderful time, always people with insanely deep insight that joined the discord a month ago
and by may most of them will be unsubbed
Oh no you missed one of the worst balanced prepatches in probably the games history
Anyway
You mean since the last prepatch?
Idk I have only see DF and TWW prepatch
nah this might be the worst prepatch in the games history
This one is the worst and its not even close
TWW prepatch was also brutal with some classes just being 2x others, it just didnt also have jank scaling
mythic raid nerfed to easier than week1 heroic
Ya but there wasnt rogues getting 100s while doing tank dam 
NEVER thought id say that lol
the event is killing some rares that now spawn every 5min for 90min
after 3 nerfs to the event
but yeah i yearn for TSS prepatch vs thsi shit
This is also the worst prepatch event I have ever seen
Bear is still beating rogues even in Midnight atm lmao
Ya but that was for TWW prepatch you mentioned
So far midnight prepatch/beta balancing is like
Cataclysmically bad
Idk how bear was just allowed to beat most of the dps in the game
And how its this close to launch and hasnt been addressed

I mean I dunno, Fury War/Ret Pal and I think it was Udk? were also just miles ahead in TWW prepatch. But I will say the stat squish scaling stuff made this one worse because it killed any difficulty
ya, which is still less than how fucked it was rn
It'll be addressed when the season starts buddy
The tuning has always been shit during prepatch
common it wasnt sooooo bad
until i saw the guardian druid on #5 dmg done and thought "oh cool, no balance updates until 17th"
But this is especially shit

And the content is shit
shadowlands
took what, 4? months
I was more joking around that every one is bad not that this one is good, but yee
for them to fix most of the absurd balance
yes
remember them randomly adding SnD with no support behind it

By far
at least since I've played (mid-cata to current)
I don’t think it’s even close
The TWW one was pretty bad compared to DF but this one makes it look like perfection
The event isnt even interesting to make up for the terrible balancing

TWW prepatch was just Lame
Nah the event this time was real bad
Midnigh prepatch is BAD
TWW event was okay but this one is just hard pass
Instead I got to see @severe meadow parse a 100 and still do less than an ele shaman parsing a 45
Prepatch truly is a magical place
was funny tho
was a 100 of all time
on soulhunters or?
watching guildmates leveling a DH and doing more dmg then half he raid with normal gear and 2-3 heroic items by pressing devourer a couple times

on bosses that die in 40 seconds
Not just pre patch but for most of the first patch of BFA if you played Feral, you did less than hunter pet damage 🤣
isnt that the normal feral experience
was that bfa, thought it was shadowlands aswell same time as assa
or maybe it was both times for feral ...
Honestly, not too sure cause they dont seem to moan too much, where as in bfa it was ret pala levels of bitching
I think it was in bfa cause they couldnt even kill quest mobs
CT spreads garrote, and the tier set says Garrote applies weapon poisons. Does the Garrote spread by CT also guarantee poison application?
CT already applies poison
speaking of, are we gonna get ironwire spreading or not 😭

I thought it was a chance rather than a guarantee
i mean yeha
it is
but like, its poison applications, they are up 100% of the time anyway if you do like, anything
I kinda felt like it was, but I was also kinda hoping it meant something I hadn't really figured out yet.
Coping hard
imagine if you play frost dk and the tierset would say "pressing rime applies rime"
thats kinda what that tier effect is
Well shucks
if ct does spread the poison, at least it will speed up the energy return and feel smoother
like, you sit at a 99-100% poison uptime allready
nothing changes there really
its really just them adding text so it doesnt look like the extremely lame "% more dmg" that it is
yeah, i get you, I just mean if you get bad rng on ct procing the poisons early in the pull, its just a miniscule QoL feels craft sort of thing
You will be pressing CT enough times back to back that you will just have poison on everything
be it the second gcd or the 3rd
There’s a reason the default UI doesn’t track poisons on nameplate
fair, just me overthinking shit more than likely
Occam's Razor is lost on me haha
Whispyr
I think ive been sandbagging assa on beta
by not playing 2x fatal conc...
Also thoughts on dropping secondary poison for 1x lethal dose in large aoe dungeons? i cant gauge the value on secondary poison well at all.
Event ho secondary ges even better with 2x fatal conc
Don’t worry, assa sandbags itself more than enough
Probably not
Secondary is very good
It’s just very hard to see the value
But like for a rough estimate right, since you’re running dtb
ik its really annoying trying to parse through my logs and evaluatuing where its coming from
You can check the hits from secondary
And divide by 4
So if it did whatever 2000 hits
That’s 500 deadly, 500 amp, and 1000 with crippling + atro, which we don’t give a shit about
And then you can check the average damage per hit on amp, and the average crit rate
So like 35% crit chance on amp? That’s 350 crits, 500+500, so that’s 350 energy from dashing
And then average hit of whatever 2k, on 1000 poison hits is 2mil
It’s a bit of a mess, but you can add it up like that
And then compare that way
It won’t be PERFECT
oh shit i didnt even consider the extra energy
But it’s close
yeah thats turbo actually
Yeh that’s the real value
Cause you’re essentially giving dashing a multiplier
Like if you imagine you had 100% crit chance, secondary basically says you get 1.5 energy from dashing instead of 1
Obviously a lot messier with variable crit and all that shit
But it’s pretty good
hmm okay then good comms gonna keep that one in mind
Like secondary isn’t great in aoe obviously
But even just from autos
It essentially just says “your poisons have a 50% chance to trigger twice”
That’s the talent
- some extra damage
yeah im kindof convinced
that assa is gonna be completely busted in key and aoe situations
in like 5 weeks
when they tune it up cause its gonna underperform in raid early
like this. this is illegal prio
Feel like same story different xpac, we get hyped about assa in higher keys, tuning happens, you re roll to DK
eh thats just a result of me pressing fok more due to route
but on avg the deadly dam is way up
so W
Well slap my ass and call me shindig I learned something today
same xd
🫲 Hi shindig 😉
