#

Aldrachi is something like

#

~20%(?) loss to even talent into

#

and arcanes funnel is now down to something like 8 or 10% of their overall garf_sit

solar wyvern
#

I think you may legitimently switch hero talents based on comp and key ngl

thorn thorn
#

Meanwhile assa having 2 cds hit one mob and a big portion of aoe coming from slamming damage into one enemy

solar wyvern
#

There is a thing known as "too much prio"

thorn thorn
#

Imagine having prio damage that nuclear and still being considered undertuned

solar wyvern
#

Well when ur boss dps in keys is like 75k :/

thorn thorn
#

yup BlankStare

#

We dont talk about that part tho

hazy sundial
#

how does Assa compare in ST fights to sone other top ST specs?

solar wyvern
#

Badly atm but nothing tuning cant solve

#

It SHOULD be a top st spec just based on its design but yknow

#

Numbers op

balmy condor
#

just do golf rules

#

and compare everything to shadow priest

ocean shell
#

arms ignored even when being shittalked

balmy condor
#

arms is just shit

solar wyvern
#

Arms? Yeah i have a couple.

balmy condor
#

shadow is legit unplayable

somber badge
haughty flicker
thorn thorn
balmy condor
#

yes

thorn thorn
#

Somehow I have not heard of this lore

#

I thought arms was the most down bad

solar wyvern
#

Arms is worse numerically but spriest is like

balmy condor
#

shadow legit ain't pressin shadowform

solar wyvern
#

Ugh

balmy condor
#

or voidform

thorn thorn
solar wyvern
#

Thatll get fixed just like not pressing pyro surely

thorn thorn
#

By not pressing shadowform

#

Do you mean that thing that gives them 10% damage dealt

#

Or the stuff from void eruption

#

Or both

balmy condor
#

eruption

haughty flicker
#

We did end up using voidform

#

They buffed it

balmy condor
#

massive

haughty flicker
#

Still dogshit but usable

thorn thorn
#

Are they still running that talent that makes you multidot swp manually

haughty flicker
#

Shadow word death is at best neutral to press under even perfect circumstances though so thst might just not be talented

haughty flicker
#

And yes in raid

thorn thorn
#

I do not like this version of shadow

#

Put it back

haughty flicker
#

Its still pretty fun

#

Just very worrying tuning decisions

thorn thorn
#

I almost alted shadow

#

And almost alted sin

haughty flicker
#

Rogue op

thorn thorn
ocean shell
keen spruce
#

yeah but you're him

split grail
#

So for keys is it better to do the 65 secondary food or the 50 prime. Assuming you dont want to use a whole ass feast

balmy condor
#

prime

split grail
#

I figured as much, jsut making sure

hidden robin
#

how come sudden demise sometimes works and just sometimes doesn't lol

balmy condor
#

it's a weird thing like that

hidden robin
#

i just want a bleed build i can use for leveling/open-world

#

idk where i found this but this is where i'm at

balmy condor
#

that's the leveling build

hidden robin
#

how do u know

fallow canopy
balmy condor
#

no clue

hidden robin
#

something tells me that i'm lacking critical information

balmy condor
#

I write all the guides

#

well, I don't write icyveins

#

but I give seli all the info for icyveins

solar wyvern
#

Whispyr knows the wowhead writer

balmy condor
#

I made that build

balmy condor
#

pretty much yeah

#

if it's anything related to assassination

#

I am kind of impossible to avoid

hidden robin
#

oh wait that's right

#

u also gave me that build from yesterday

#

i saved the img but never imported it

#

but i wouldn't have dragon-tempered blades Sadge

balmy condor
#

yah well

#

if you wanna bleed build

#

you can't also have all the non-bleed stuff

hidden robin
#

lowkey

#

i'm thinking the bleed build sucks

#

LOL

balmy condor
#

correct

hidden robin
balmy condor
#

that's what I told you yesterday as well

#

but you insisted

hidden robin
#

yeah that's true

#

you even obliged with a build for me to use

#

that, i appreciate

#

i am a glutton for punishment

red spire
#

Probably a very common question - how much worse percentage wise is Fatebound over Deathstalker in AOE scenarios? I did a few heroics as Deathstalker and feeling like I want to change specs, if not classes after those 😄

balmy condor
#

depends on the aoe

#

the more the aoe, the worse fb is

#

but it's comparable on like 8 targets

#

and fatebound is more overall damage in dungeons typically

red spire
#

Well on anything over like 6 targets the spec plays awfully anyway so I'll take it 😄

balmy condor
#

it plays the same on 5 as it does on 50 though

red spire
#

More crimson tempest casts though? Or am I playing it wrong and just supposed to cast it like twice max?

balmy condor
#

I mean you just ct -> envenom

#

instead of ct -> envenom and then fok -> envenom

#

but like on 5 targets you'd ct twice

#

on 50 you'd ct more obviously

#

but it's still ct -> env

#

your rotation doesn't really change at all

red spire
#

I meant more feeling wise as I feel like I have to afk a couple of seconds energy wise after two CTs, dunno probably doing something wrong

balmy condor
#

oh

#

yeah

#

that's the good part though

#

if we didn't have to afk and proc implacable and shit we'd just be sub rogues

#

and everyone bitches about sub being boring garf

red spire
#

imma assume that's sarcasm because there's no way you've been stockholm syndrome'd into thinking going afk for a few seconds in a huge m+ pack is enjoyable 🥸

solar wyvern
#

well in a huge packj

#

u dont play around apex

#

dashing becomes your energy

balmy condor
#

and I always have said taht

#

assassination is slow

#

its been slow for 20 years

red spire
#

Game feel is different now though - I can afk autoattack in classic all day but it still feels awful to do on retail

balmy condor
#

yeah, and it's a damn shame the only thing that exists to manage energy is the first apex point

red spire
#

Same way I feel for SnD before TWW pruning, there's slow and methodical and then there's just going afk while everyone else gets to press impactful buttons

balmy condor
#

cause I wish there was about 6 more of those talents

red spire
#

Yeah might just be that implacable is bad/undertuned - maybe it'd be better if it activated on envenom cast rather than expiry without stacking or something so you felt a bit more control over the regen

buoyant herald
#

I think the concept is that it procs when you need it ie not enough energy for another envenom

red spire
#

But it still feels bad, at least to me - i'm not sure if it's because it's just undertuned or because the gameplay concept doesn't appeal to me as you feel penalised for chaining properly and then your reward is to afk for a long time with your next set of chaining being gimped further by no longer have thistle tea as a crutch

calm grail
#

I did everything I can think to do and am still like 60 veteran crests shy of cap.

#

Is there anything not obvious I'd be missing? Did all hard prey/0's events etc.

buoyant herald
#

I think you just farm heroics?

balmy condor
#

yeh

haughty flicker
#

can also do random heroic hunts apparently

#

i havent bothered farming crests though

buoyant herald
#

Yeah they’ll cap out when mplus comes out with all the overflow

snow kindle
#

and theres no cap on doing them.

shadow agate
#

Is it still crit>haste for m+ prio, I mean everything is really an upgrade at this point, but thought I saw people talking haste a day or two back

balmy condor
#

yes, crit > haste everywhere

boreal lichen
#

Is there a threshold of %life on mobs in mythic+ were spreading bleeds with crimson tempest is not worth it? If a non prio mob is 20% life and should I get bleeds on it in aoe packs for example.

static glacier
boreal lichen
#

Looks like most mythic+ guides don’t use it so I prob won’t

knotty vapor
#

has tricks always been a 1hr buff for sub?

#

oh wrong channel :3

static glacier
static glacier
#

Normally we don’t look at mob % hp, instead using TTK (Time to Kill) instead. Back in tww it was 9 secs to spread rupture (we had much better energy refund / sniping though)

haughty flicker
#

i think the worst part of midnight is they stole bonespikes vfx for unholy apex talent

real pike
jade abyss
#

we can track apex now right?

woven urchin
#

Hello guys,

Is it normal i feel i have no energy every time ?

balmy condor
#

yes, it's intended

shell plaza
#

can i ask 2 Q for clarification:

  1. with the m+ talents we use FoK on 2+ targets?
  2. on aoe opener - after the 2 garrotes - do we rupture on 4 cp and ct it or use one fok to get to 5+ cp and then rupture and ct it?
#

thx in advance

balmy condor
#
  1. yes
  2. no, you never finish on 4cp ever ever ever ever EVER it's really fucking bad, press a fok
shell plaza
#

thank you, good sir, may your fortune be abundant (gloriously)

real pike
#

Holy shit is that Zendaya??

shell plaza
#

in between 2 movies, got some time for wow

vernal adder
late kestrel
#

is shiv not needed for kingsbane anymore?

scarlet orbit
#

no it does not amp dmg anymore its pretty much just a soothe now

late kestrel
#

also is vanish still able to amp kingsbane dmg if used during the ending seconds? or just normal priorities during kingsbane

scarlet orbit
#

No, the use for vanish now is to enable improved garrote for dm

plucky ember
#

are we rogues just fucked in pvp atm?

runic hinge
#

they have the answers you seek

blazing kayak
#

sub or sin for M0s/mythic +

latent kernel
tawny geyser
#

Sub just slams everything, but theres a small downtime between bursts which is normal ofc.
I am an Assa freak, but first time I am investing time in Sub, as its more simplified and actually feels rewarding.

red jolt
#

Does anyone know of the pitiful energy back on Venomous Wounds (kill) is intentional or not?

#

I feel like weird if they nerfed it this much, wasn't that overpowered was it? Kinda niche quality of life thing

brisk forge
naive dragon
#

not a fan of the apex talent regen

royal lantern
royal lantern
brisk forge
red jolt
#

I remember echoing reprimand not working with Deathstalker for months :')

viscid cloak
#

Apologies if this has been asked, are there any sort of Sims for rogues? cant seem to find any for reference

royal lantern
#

the refund was 2x higher then it was supposed to be

#

and that got fixed, and at the same time DRASTICALLY reduced

slate crown
#

So I hate the way the CDM looks with the overlayed buff duration, how it's the pale yellow transparent radial swipe

#

Has anyone found an addon that masks it differently?

#

Or adds the old "Edge" thing WA used to have?

#

where the edge of the swipe had a distinct clock-hand

#

ahh cdm centered has some settings

earnest remnant
#

think arcui and ajie cdm or however his name is spelled

#

both have those

pearl dragon
#

Pretty sure this is a basic question - but, do you actually play around kingsbane? I know it stacks with letal poisons but I can't tell if I should be adjusting my playstyle in the kingsbane window

loud galleon
#

is assassination super weak feeling rn or is it just me

severe meadow
loud galleon
#

Im bout to change speccs like.. im hitting my buttons and im just tickling them.

loud galleon
#

I mean, I have an Arcane mage that I can reroll to

#

or a paladin

severe meadow
#

Assa is a ramp class so it's not like we have instant big damage

#

Personally in what I've done, Assa has felt pretty alright

loud galleon
#

let me finish gearing her a little more.. im.. curious

#

It could be literally because she isn't in heroic gear yet.

coral ibex
#

max level pre-gearing is about as weak as a wow character can ever feel

#

bc the world is scaled to max level but you have no stats

loud galleon
#

See, I didn't feel that with my mage.

#

I was melting shit over and over again

#

but like, Mage just feels super busted rn

severe meadow
#

I'm leveling my mage rn and I can say it does feel pretty smooth

balmy condor
pearl dragon
#

ty - Thought as much, just wanted to make sure I'd not missed anything

slate crown
#

no

#

it’s just my personal one, i’m not publishing work anymore

#

also it’s pretty much just luxthos with some thing nudged around (he put out a video about a month ago with all the details)

slate crown
#

for leveling purposes

balmy condor
#

So it’s kinda okay

slate crown
#

not for the rupture return on enemies dying which is constantly happening while leveling

balmy condor
#

The thing that got nerfed by 90%?

slate crown
#

IM FUCKING STARVING OUT HERE OK

balmy condor
#

1 energy per tick btw

slate crown
#

you don’t get it do you you selfish monster hoarding all the energy for yourself

#

btw thoughts on punk punch?

#

it doesn’t help that i have refused to equip a single piece of gear a quest has given me since starting this character so things hurt and don’t die quickly

distant plinth
#

Went for enhance as an alt.. both F tier but soon SSS+ tier

solar wyvern
#

Do you guys think whispyr prefers assa being an energy starved class so he has an excuse to drink more white monster?

normal mist
#

Absolutely

balmy condor
balmy condor
fringe spear
#

If u can't tabweave or monster-weave during rotation whats the point

fringe spear
#

That spell is so bad it won't even make it into pure single target builds

runic hinge
#

thank god

solar wyvern
spiral warren
#

Gonna respec assa to lvl, rip

severe meadow
#

I mean surely Paladin isn't this bad

balmy condor
#

looks like a leveling dungeon

#

I don't trust shit from pre 90 dungeons

#

the level scaling is all sorts of loopy

stuck lodge
#

I played with some rets that were doing fine damage, so yeah

#

Or they just didnt have cds and spagetti'ed their rotation during the pack

wooden timber
#

does this go crazy for sin

#

or do i give it to my friends potential non main character

#

he said i should take if its good for sin (on paper it looks like it) but idk how it is relative to average m0 trinket

#

sims good for me but it could be bc im in poverty and there is no droptimizer

balmy condor
#

it's fine yeah

wooden timber
balmy condor
#

a bunch of the pre season stuff doesn't work in sims, but also like

#

does it matter

wooden timber
#

so i probably give him it

#

in that case

#

if it is just fine 4 me

#

ty

balmy condor
#

np

solar wyvern
#

That trinket isnt on m+ roto anywau

#

Youre using pbox and you will LIKE IT

balmy condor
#

double passive

#

my beloved.....

#

charrend, if I never fix puzzle box cast sequencing in sims

#

and you just tell everyone its bad

#

together we can gaslight the community into not using that shit trinket

#

thoughts?

shy heron
wooden timber
sick edge
#

So what's the thinking so far, are we thinking there will be any tuning on the 17th in sin rogue favour? I've played it a bit and it seems to be lagging behind somewhat.

solar wyvern
#

Unlucky

balmy condor
#

if 85k ST is the tuning goal, then we're not seeing anything, and like 35 specs are getting nerfed

#

tanks are doing giga dam

#

demo lock is doing giga dam

#

they're getting nerfed for sure

#

the rest? no clue

hardy pawn
#

am i imagining things that the spec feels SOOOO energy starved its almost stuck at times?

balmy condor
#

there are moments where you have downtime yes

pliant remnant
#

Nerf all ranged specs, buff all melee specs

subtle tundra
sharp bramble
#

damage was fine though so i guess thats how blizz wants it

balmy condor
#

yep

#

the issue isn't that there's downtime, it's the apex is the only thing to do in order to "manage" energy

sharp viper
#

i wonder how many tuning passes will happen after the 17th

balmy condor
#

with how fucked the tuning is right now

#

they probably need like 15

#

they also said they don't intend to tune during the race

#

which I find impossible

#

idk how they imagine that happening

frosty cedar
#

did they not say they were going to tune every one of the 4 weeks starting from HC week launch, but after the first two tuning passes, once mythic launches, the changes wont be as heavy handed?

balmy condor
#

something like that

#

but like

#

they have to be heavy handed with how shit it is KEKW

#

they have put themselves into a corner

#

for no reason at all

pliant remnant
#

Fucking yolo, at least the shit show will probably be memorable

frosty cedar
#

I agree, but I am expecting big dick swinging changes for March 17 and 24 at least

balmy condor
#

god I fucking hope

frosty cedar
#

my headcanon is blizz got rid of whoever was doing internal sims, got used to using community sims, the community sims are giga late this tier, so they put off any tuning as long as they could OMEGAKEKW

#

they need to take demo lock out to the back and guardian druid whilst they are at it

#

UHDK is giga as well

red schooner
#

Race might be interesting to watch then if balancing is scuffed. I'm intrigued.

low sundial
#

Rwf will be 14 mages of various specs

spice surge
#

Yeah surely theyll just do nuke levels of tuning on 17th and 24th

frosty cedar
spice surge
#

"Demonology: Damage reduced by 30%"

frosty cedar
#

bring out the nuke on 17th for hc week, then adjust for some semblance of normalcy on the 24th for mythic launch

#

with HC data

drifting cloud
#

well considering they have literally never done that dont get your hopes up

pliant remnant
#

Arms Warrior: Damage increased by 60%

#

jk Arms is probably getting another nerf

frosty cedar
#

then when mythic data comes in and specs that got fucked from HC data (assa season 1 dragonflight my beloved) they adjust for mythic i guess

pliant remnant
#

'cause fuck 'em

frosty cedar
#

I will say though that part of this is cope because I would love a giga tuning nuke

balmy condor
#

Its going to be a shit show

drifting cloud
#

no balance during that 1 month period of end of beta-early release is pretty common

frosty cedar
#

it does seem plausible

drifting cloud
#

its just the general balance has never been so bad as its right now

#

not even start of SL

frosty cedar
frosty cedar
gloomy steppe
#

Guardian Druid is going to get nuked from orbit

#

That should be fun

frosty cedar
#

so maybe im just seeing the absolute state of balance atm and the only conclusion I can draw is that a nuke is coming cause otherwise just FF it

#

no one is working at blizzard otherwise

drifting cloud
#

like Eleem said

#

expect alot of notes on hc week but probably very few nukes

#

and then the rest will come 3 weeks after

polar sail
#

Is there two more tunning right?

drifting cloud
#

since the "real" race starts on 31st

frosty cedar
#

march 17th patch notes:

demonlogy nerfed (it ends up being 0.7%)
arms buffed (in pvp)
ret pala bug fix (its a nerf)

thats it

polar sail
pliant remnant
#

guardian druid bug fix (it's a buff)

frosty cedar
#

then about monthly after that

polar sail
#

hope the fix assa

pliant remnant
frosty cedar
pliant remnant
runic hinge
frosty cedar
#

might as well give feral an assassination hero talent tree to let them poison their claws

royal lantern
sour oasis
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
runic hinge
frosty cedar
#

nah its a new hero talent just called assassination and they just get our class abilities

sour oasis
#

guys, do you use elvui ?

#

or Shadow unit frame ? and its possible to chargez a profil ?

molten harbor
#

so after scrolling up a bit, it isnt just me? Sin rogue is in the grave atm

runic hinge
#

Yes after half of the first week of a untuned pre-season Assa is dead for the expansion. Pack it up.

molten harbor
#

so when I put "atm" I was referring to the upcoming balance patches. I apologize if this was not clear

balmy condor
#

I wouldn't say assa is in the grave

#

there are far worse specs

#

there's also just far better

solar wyvern
#

Assa just needz st help

#

And its g2g

#

Tbh

molten harbor
#

I feel like Aff lock is pretty low in ST and its blowing out my Rogue Sadge

#

which, most of the raid isnt ST, so

balmy condor
#

buff apex1, apex4, and give 10% envenom buff

#

ggez

molten harbor
#

imagine implacable just popped at max stacks

balmy condor
#

I'd rather not

molten harbor
#

I think you should still be able to let it expire how it does now, but also I cant count to 5 and over use envenom

balmy condor
#

If it auto procced at max then the only piece of energy management is deleted instantly

#

Like at that point just delete the energy bar

#

No need to look at it

odd bluff
#

does subtlety have the same energy issues as assa?

nimble tartan
#

no

solar wyvern
frosty cedar
#

issue or part of the spec gameplay? OMEGAKEKW it feels right to me. Maybe they could reduce it further somewhat

balmy condor
#

I'd prefer if they changed like 3 or 4 talents to help promote actually managing energy

#

made the base spec slower, and then buffed the apex

solar wyvern
#

I wish implacable really made us pool and amped the damage we do each stack but increase energy costs so hitting 5 stacks mattered

balmy condor
#

yeah or that

#

but like

#

just make that a talent

solar wyvern
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

put rapid injection higher, and then put that in there

#

every envenom in chain does 10% more

#

banger

solar wyvern
#

Would break aoe but i like the idea

#

Fok envenom to the moon 8)

mint urchin
mint urchin
balmy condor
#

10% more damage and 5 extra energy cost

mint urchin
#

That would be sick

hazy sundial
#

i have an easy proposal to fix assa. Implacable duration increased from 5s to 12s. It would fix most of our problems

molten harbor
hazy sundial
#

i would also love removeal of stealth dependancy

balmy condor
#

stealth dependancy of what

severe meadow
balmy condor
#

what's stopping you from casting regular garrote

severe meadow
#

But that's not improved.. My dps, or something

balmy condor
#

true mb

#

no stealth gameplay, no stealth damage, no dead gcds, infinite energy, pressing a generator more than twice is dogshit, combine ct and fok, then combine fok and mut, and also combine rupture and garrote, and also this spec is boring I hate it

ocean shell
#

I thought sub was down bad but I guess all specs got fucked huh

balmy condor
#

assassination is fine

severe meadow
balmy condor
#

its good

#

it's fun

#

community seems to not know what the hell they want

#

cause sub is seen as giga boring 2 button gameplay

ocean shell
#

can we turn our energy red and have it give us more when we hit stuff?

balmy condor
#

but then all the suggestions of how to "fix assa" are just turning it into giga boring 2 button gameplay

#

so like

#

what the fuck is blizzard supposed to do

mint urchin
balmy condor
#

I don't mind managing energy, I just want energy to never stop me from using abilities that cost energy

#

what's so hard to understand about that

#

but also backstab feels bad cause it doesn't do damage and also ct feels bad cause it does too much

#

and don't give me any buttons

#

just give me the same spec

#

but with everything changed

mint urchin
#

Finally you understand

whole mason
#

just get CT with Fok talent should be a very good start point of optimization for now. There is no reason to wait and see data to do this.

severe meadow
royal lantern
#

common, you know its true omegalul

balmy condor
#

always has been

royal lantern
#

survival hunter going from "its ruined wtf" into "the rework is SO AWESOME" in 3 days cus it is overtuned

#

and you just know what will happen in 9 days

whole mason
#

for a class that help in almost no aspect other than its own output, it is normal people dont know what they want about it other than bigger numbers.

royal lantern
mint urchin
#

People are mad it got a gun

balmy condor
#

so outlaw then

ember condor
mint urchin
#

Bro I have never seen people so thematically driven as the hunter community

balmy condor
#

if survival is following the outlaw lore, get ready for survival hunters to be mad about everything for the next decade

#

dude it's fucking sunny outside fuck blizzard

royal lantern
#

everytime people say "its so much fun", its 99% cus it does big dmg

mint urchin
#

Honestly I think surv is just really fun

#

But also true

royal lantern
#

and "its so clunky and needs fundamental changes"? almost always just when tuning is low lol

cunning needle
#

if wow players could do a 1 button dps rotation and top the meters

#

they'd enjoy the fuck out of it

#

and say it's the best rotation ever

cunning needle
ember condor
whole mason
mint urchin
#

It happened with the helikeli one button shenanigans

#

Got nuked pretty fast tho

whole mason
#

I think they said something like " I just used blizzard one button rotation and topped damage meter"

balmy condor
#

to be fair, brewmaster rotation is just tiger palm

cunning basin
#

Based gameplay

torn token
#

does CT bleed spread prioritize mobs that don't have bleed on them already?

balmy condor
#

yes

odd bluff
#

so i guess even at max level assa runs out of energy? is there no build to make it not run out of energy even if it sucks?

spice sentinel
#

you'll generally have higher energy when it matters during kingsbane and deathmark, with higher levels of haste and crit it will probably feel pretty good energy wise but yeah there will be some downtime

balmy condor
rough haven
#

energy still an issue at max level?

severe meadow
balmy condor
#

I wonder

whole mason
#

you cannot expect ever another 10.0 endless energy patch to arrive to Sin any more.

molten harbor
#

Wish more classes had the Warlock's content creator equivalent. Would probably make things a ton clearer for gen pop players like myself

severe meadow
fallow canopy
#

Mfw the energy class has to manage energy

mint urchin
molten harbor
#

Nothing against, will look them up

mint urchin
#

Whispyr literally said something 3 messages up lol

molten harbor
#

I have seen someone named Marc** and dalaran gaming, which were good initially, but not a lot of depth

molten harbor
polar sail
#

Assa better than sub but energy is hell

molten harbor
#

Nor would I know he does content without seeing him in my personal searches

polar sail
#

is devs show the feedbacks about classes or not?

Am i supposed to re-cast envenom when my current envenom buff is about to drop off? Or should I be chain-firing envenoms until I'm OOE

Content creators are cool, but Wowhead guides are generally a solid go to for learning a new class/spec. Ironically, Whispyr is our writer there too (and a bigger employee overall I think for wowhead). I think he's also a Diablo fiend on the side like me.

There’s no headroom to try and maximize the uptime

Do you want to blow all your energy so you'll naturally let the energy stuff from implacable happen?

balmy condor
calm grail
#

Otherwise when I was pooling and got lucky I could be at 80 for a while.

worn monolith
#

i dont understand our apex talent then

balmy condor
#

Well, naturally or just stopping on purpose

worn monolith
#

we want to keep envenom up

balmy condor
#

If you hit max

worn monolith
#

but we're energyt starved

#

if we let if fall, we'll get more energy regen

#

but we dont want that?

balmy condor
#

We don’t care about letting it fall

calm grail
#

I felt like when I stopped on purpose I would get precariously close to energy capping sometimes

balmy condor
#

Like aside from being at 80 stacks of implacable and waiting for envenom to drop

#

There is no reason to look at envenoms buff

i cant for the life of me enjoy subtlety cuz the effects are corny so i guess im stuck with ass

ive been energy starved since i started

balmy condor
#

it's been a core feature of assassination since like 2014

#

I've been playing since the end of mop/start of wod

#

and assassination has been slow, energy starved, with downtime and dead gcds

#

since I've started

does anyone have any youtube links of assassination doin mythic0?

odd bluff
gilded oasis
#

good

balmy condor
balmy condor

everyone doesn't need to like every spec

and every spec shouldn't play the same

#

it's okay for assassination to be capped by resources, it's one of the few to do so

having that gameplay and archetype be available for people is a good thing

I dont disagree but it kinda sucks that the one spec i like aesthetically has such a massive turn off

autumn frost

Did they get rid of weakauras?

balmy condor

yes

odd bluff
#

I hate subtlety aesthetic why am i naruto

balmy condor
#

pretty traditional rogue aesthetic idk

gilded oasis
#

just close your eyes when you play then they all have the same aesthetic

balmy condor
#

regardless of how I feel though, blizzard did say they want assassination to be slow and methodical, managing energy as a core rotational gameplay

#

they kinda failed miserably in that, not because it's slow, but because there's basically no management KEKW

#

idk

it's fun still

I cringe a little everytime someone says energy starved

balmy condor
#

to be fair, blizzard said they wanted to add more energy management

#

and their fucking energy management ended up being a single talent

#

so that's a bit cringe

#

my copium is that if blizzard would stop being such pussies about resource management

#

and just fucking commit to something for once in their god damn lives

#

instead of half-assing class design every 2 years like clockwork

#

maybe it would actually be appealing and rewarding and people would stfu about "fix energy"

night delta
#

Arcane mage has mana management, and I know at one point they had a spell that dunked on their mana bar, dealing more dmg depending on how much mana was spent

#

Maybe our energy management could have some similar mechanic, idk

#

Or a buff that ramps stacks while we hover about ×%, and triggers an effect scaling from stacks when we reach below ×%

balmy condor
#

arcane "mana management" if we're even calling it that

#

is basically nonexistant

night delta
#

Feels like there's plenty ideas to be had for resource management mechanics other than "just space out your casts"

balmy condor
#

like arcane is often pointed to as "the resource class"

#

and they just could not give a shit

night delta
balmy condor
#

their 90s cd gives them a stupid amount of regen and they still have evocation

#

so what ends up happening is if their cds are coming up, they don't care

night delta
#

But if it existed at some point and I am pretty convinced it did, this may be something for inspiration

balmy condor
#

if their cds aren't up or they have 45s, they press evo

#

and otherwise they don't care

#

whatever flavor of not barrage

jolly stirrup
#

They could take the enery cost from Crimson vial and add something like: Crimson Vial regenerates 30% Energy in addition to the healthy regen. (Maybe there is a reason i am not a dev wheeze)

balmy condor
#

yeah maybe

jolly stirrup
#

Maybe the reason I am not a dev or maybe a valid change

balmy condor
#

I say nothing

jolly stirrup
#

Speak up buttercup

night delta
#

Envenom additionally costs ×% of current energy, dealing increased damage based on that + casting Rupture consumes envenom buff, dealing damage based on remaining time and restoring y% of missing energy

#

Like, i spitballed this in 1 min and this is demonstrably more involved management that we have

#

Maybe it's a shit idea but come on, they definitely can come up with something inventive if they actually tried

balmy condor
#

yeh, that would require them trying though

#

which is the problem

does deathmark poison bonuses only apply to poisons applied during the deathmark window? or if you have garrot/rupture on a target prior to deathmark does the damage modifier apply to those already applied?

Why do we take secondary poisoning over the fan of knives talent

spice surge
#

Most of your poisons comes from auto attacks, which means you get a very noticeable amount of extra poisons

#

Like if you never procced any poison from other sources that talent is practically "50% more poisons"

#

Now you do proc from other sources, and the more targets the less that number is, but its still fairly high

the value in holding 160 vet crests is to craft bracers/boots/cloak with 2x embellishments so you can make your first heroic week easier/splits easier. It's a decent gain for no real cost

balmy condor
#

bis for assa is crafting a dagger with embell anyway

#

worst case scenario you get a myth weapon and the crafted moves to offhand

violet island
#

this is for vet (non-spark) crafts

balmy condor
#

oh oh

#

yeh true

violet island
#

so for rogues, just hold 80 like you said

#

craft dagger with sparks with embellishment, then 80 vet bracers for 2nd embellishment

balmy condor
#

do we still get a free hero crest

plain flower
#

crests dont exist

Datamining shows no reward (but it always shows no reward until it goes live)

My yolo guess is it'll give 80 uncapped hero crests

Either through buffing envenom or nerfing CT’s direct damage

#

So today you can ct if you need to spread bleeds and that may be correct depending on target count and some other things but in two weeks I have hope that will be incorrect

#

(Im hoping they buff envenom a bit for some ST and maybe like 5% to spatter too)

#

Bleeds doing a lot of damage is cool but spatter feels like it should do a bit more than it does currently with how poison centric the talent setup and apex is
