you're ignoring envenom's buff

#

you only care about the buff when you're at max stacks, because you need to drop it

rancid anvil
#

Ok just hitting envenom when I have the combos and energy. Thank you

hollow moss
#

anyone know how i can move tracked bars?

static glacier
#

What you’re talking about would become relevant if they reduce our energy and force us to intentionally play for envenom chains under energy constraints, as it stands we don’t care, it genuinely feels like we’ve not pooled outside of df s3 for like 4 or 5 expacs now

rugged basalt
hollow moss
#

it is not

rugged basalt
#

I’m almost certain you can move them as a whole, just not individual bars natively

I heard from a trusted source that ass will get a 300% aura buff and 200% more energy regen

whats a good delve to spam run to lvl to 8?

hearty junco
#

can we do 8 now?

dry mural
#

what build yall running for dungeons? the fatebound one?

rugged basalt
#

I think 8 is on season start

#

I was running collegiate calamity invasive glow but I didn’t know about the rogue trick

astral pine
#

shadowguard also comically easy to grind to 8

#

Deathstalkers mark*, unfortunately the naming is insanely similar to Deathmark, our main cooldown

severe meadow
#

I also play deathmark

sullen bramble
#

Since the removal of some plater functionality and whispyrs setup where deathmarked mob gets coloured in a pack

#

I find it incredibly hard to easily track who is deathmarked in a big pack

#

Which is fine if i don't target swap

#

but sometimes i find i need to

olive whale
#

What’s the point of stealth if every caster in dungeons just pings me out while I’m generating no threat

real pike
#

am I understanding correctly we don't need to press envenom before DM>KB any more?

snow kindle
hazy sundial
#

Does anyone know why sometimes my FoK generates only 1 CP even tho it hits 5+ targets?

shell plaza
#

bad rng

#

happens all the time to me too

#

2-3-5 targets - 1 cp

real pike
#

is that interaction gone?

#

also, how are people tracking cloak/feint/envenom durations? are you adding them to Whispyr's UI import?

snow kindle
#

Yea before we did want to do it. I couldnt tell you why exactly it changed

real pike
#

ok thanks for confirming

real pike
vale marten
#

whats the sim DPS looking for assa atm?

real pike
#

also does the Whispyr CDM track imp garotte? not when it can be applied, but that the garotte on your target is empowered

solar wyvern
#

Its not like u have to build 3 times then envenom anymore

royal lantern
#

i would just crit if i where you

shell plaza
#

true and real 🤪

solar wyvern
#

@balmy condor is it intended in your m+ guide to run poisoners drive over inspiring strike? Seems like losing 5% damage for 1 cp in aoe is bad no?

#

Also whats the diff between inspiring and poisoners drive st simwise

royal lantern
#

i mean, you still have many moments with lower target counts and bossfights

solar wyvern
#

Yeah but drive would have to be a pretty monumental gain to make up the difference imo

#

Maybe key dependant...

#

Nexus and windrunner are pretty low target outside of a couple spots

#

But pit and magisters is like 90 healthbars on my screen

fossil sand
#

does this talent increase dmg to every target while DM is up or just the target that has DM

solar wyvern
#

Just all damage in general

sullen bramble
#

should i be always playing for 80 stacks of implacable? i find sometimes im capping energy

#

feels like sometimes less stacks is fine

sullen bramble
fading belfry
#

the gap between deathstalker and fatebound is big? in aoe and in st? cause man fatebound feels so much better

coral ibex
#

ds has significantly more prio damage

fading belfry
#

oh fatebound is better in overall ok nice i'll keep that for the moment

warm vortex
#

The best Assa rogue hero talent is trickster

#

You need to do some tricks to get it

fading belfry
#

i can see where ur going with that 😒

severe meadow
warm vortex
#

Grrrr
I can’t use the excuse I’m playing rogue for heroic as I’ve now rerolled off that too

#

No longer an outlaw and instead a shadow priest

coral ibex
#

that's tough

warm vortex
#

Nah I chose to

#

We needed more ranged and not 3 outlaws

#

I didn’t have to change but SP is fun

real pike
warm vortex
#

A cool guild

severe meadow
#

HOLY 3 outlaws

plush oasis
#

I don't see it in the pins - anybody else having trouble with deathstalkers mark bugging and not applying at all anymore?

#

Ended up switching to fatebound because of it.

frosty cedar
#

I'm not sure but I do know that we hate deathstalker

plush oasis
#

Aw I kinda liked it.

#

Fatebound makes me sound like Santa's frickin reindeer.

Plenty of opportunities where it bugs out and you cant apply it

pliant vessel
#

IMO it would be better if the hero talent worked

runic hinge
#

That’s a crazy take bro

#

Idk

sullen bramble
#

Is the general concensus that sub>assa in AOE ? I can't hit anywhere near the numbers as assa than I can with sub right now

pliant remnant
#

In pre-season content where everything dies in a couple globals?

#

Absolutely.

spice surge
real pike
#

does Whispyr's UI package show somewhere the duration of Feint/Cloak/Evasion buff?

#

and does it show when the Garotte on an enemy is empowered?

lethal turtle
#

ping him

real pike
#

I try to avoid pinging him it must get annoying

#

but I might if I haven't found the answer when he's next green

lethal turtle
#

If it doesnt you can easily have it turned on

#

is it a BCDM UI

real pike
#

what is the B?

lethal turtle
#

better

real pike
#

I just copied both strings from the guide

#

one CDM one base ui

severe meadow
#

He loves being pinged, I got you

royal lantern

real pike
#

lethal turtle
#

If you dm him photos of anything + peach monster he also loves it

severe meadow
#

He’s a lover for sure

real pike
#

My favourite monster is the mango loco one

runic hinge
#

My favorite monster is the next one

severe meadow
#

On a serious note why did they gate that shit for 4 weeks

royal lantern
#

idk

#

but fuck pvp

#

those weirdos dont deserve anything

fresh kelp

#

So we don’t have anything new this week? Just waiting for m+ for next week?

severe meadow
#

“Will be pleased to learn”

#

No the fuck I won’t

gray hazel
#

Its not even that bad

#

Just collect crates, or treasures, do the non PvP WQs and youll get it done in no time

#

likely with no PvP at all

#

Even more so if youre Alliance

coral ibex
#

can you cheese it by colluding with opposite faction guildies?

hearty junco
#

anyone tried ayije cdm?

royal lantern
# severe meadow

blizzard really has some of the dumbest fucks in the world making calls

haughty flicker
#

10 sparks from world quests, 5 from treasures, only 1 from any pvp kill

hearty junco
#

for some reason, garrote does not have a timer like rupture?

coral ibex
#

probably a complaint to make to the atrocityui discord

azure carbon
coral ibex
#

real?

runic hinge
#

just fly around and farm treasures

royal lantern
#

im suprised that they remove pet battles but left PvP in the game, when pet battles had more though put into them

coral ibex
#

is there a weekly limit to sparks? what is this quest?

azure carbon
#

Yeah but like. The reason no one cares about PvP is because it's the just cancer new player experience ever. You get dropped in with no skill against better players - but then like - they also just have better gear than you too.

You're basically guaranteed to lose for like a month or more.

"Why does no one really like PvP?!" Like gee, I wonder why.

royal lantern
#

its very serious PvP

#

where you need to lose for hours to get the gear so you can even properly play it in the first place

#

very serious man

azure carbon
#

Lol exactly.

royal lantern
#

and when we had a solution for it

#

the "pvp players" complained about it until it was removed because they could not roflstomp random bgs

#

i fucking hate the wow pvp playerbase because its insane how they manage to cry so loud about any changes that would improve the mode because it means that they cant roflstomp people with gear adventages anymore

#

and blizz listens to them

azure carbon
#

I mean that solution was kind of scuffed. Kind of bs not being able to choose your stats. But even still - make it an option so the stat applications on your gear can carry over to the PvP stats but scaled... Don't get rid of the consistent PvP scaling completely.

royal lantern
#

thats it

#

make it like GW2 and put the templates on a Neck

#

problem solved

azure carbon
#

Or that. Lol.

royal lantern
#

and if somebody tries to tell me "omg but i need 28% haste, you cant play frostmage in arena becase the haste template only gives you 25% haste" i will push them into a locker

azure carbon
#

But try to tell PvP players that the new player PvP experience is absolutely atrocious and they'll just get mad.

#

Be easy to push em into a locker because they don't have 28% haste, tbh. 😂

coral pivot
#

Well, was Legion active on PvP?

#

or is it the same handfull of people that it always is

mint urchin
#

Granted they just nerfed the honor by 50% lmao

azure carbon
#

To a degree. But like if you want to PvP, still sucks to have to not PvP in order to PvP.

mint urchin
#

Yeah I mean true, but I will say they greatly improved the entry point from TWW

azure carbon
#

That's fair I suppose.

I still think it's fundamentally kinda bad. But ah well.

mint urchin
#

I mean the toxic part ain't going anywhere for sure lol

#

But like gearing and addon requirements are def better

wide berry
#

Any PvP game will just be toxic anyways, no matter how many emotes you remove. Just comes with the territory

polar sail
#

Assa tier set cool

cunning needle
#

even in keys i never really got mad at people or flamed them in party chat because why bother

#

but we started to lose against bots in training grounds and i couldn't resist

something about pvp brings the worst out in people

#

it's okay m+ isn't out yet either

severe meadow
#

Enjoying sub actually

balmy condor
#

and then most high end players will play assassination

pulsar coral
#

high end players will play ass but the other two are higher on the meters? does ass have better prio?

severe meadow
haughty flicker
#

actually whispyr is just gonna gaslight high end players into playing assa

#

to draw more attention to the spec

#

and therefore to his youtube channel

#

fucking content creators

gray raven
#

To me sin feels better as keys scale higher and big packs live longer. I’ve been doing all of EA on sub though

ember condor
#

Im enjoying assa too much i dont even know why

#

Are they going to do something about the energy stuff?

balmy condor
#

depends what you mean by "do something"

balmy condor
#

sub is powder spamming, it's full pad

balmy condor
#

I made that gif in like 2022 how is it still alive

ember condor
balmy condor
#

the might tune it up slightly via the apex talent

#

but in general that is how the spec is designed and intended

#

so I wouldn't hold my breath

ember condor
#

if so, isn't it doomed to be the worst spec of the 3 in long term?

cunning needle
#

this is normal and expected

#

sometimes you just chill and ponder life

balmy condor
#

if anything, in the long term that would mean it's doomed to be the best

ember condor
#

because assa cooldowns aren't as explosive as the other 2 idk

balmy condor
#

assa cooldowns aren't as explosive as outlaw?

spice surge
#

Dps and spec pacing aren't related

balmy condor
#

sorry what

ember condor
exotic hearth
#

Since I crafted dag and only have shoulder, glove, ring for 2nd embellish, I should put it on ring, right?

spice surge
#

Fwiw assa cooldowns are more explosive than subs during execute

balmy condor
ember condor
#

well if it is better then its good news for me

balmy condor
#

famously explosive outlaw cooldowns

#

it's got a lil willie up during bloodlust

constant explosion maybe xD

exotic hearth
cunning needle
balmy condor
#

if you're going to craft a ring, you might get like 0.3% more out of it, and then instantly replace it with your third craft and an m+ ring

#

crafting anything other than wrists just doesn't make much sense to me

#

but you do you idk

exotic hearth
#

Fair point. Was kinda focused in on "ring is lowest non tier slot" lmao

balmy condor
#

yah at this point that's kinda moot

#

you're probably replacing every piece of gear you have equipped right now within 1-3 days

#

after next weeks reset

ember condor
#

do you guys have any recommendation for the spell que window? 400 feels like shit

balmy condor
#

feels like shit how

ember condor
#

im pressing the same button twice because im spamming it

balmy condor
#

spell queue window shouldn't really make a difference unless you're playing outlaw and having to react to procs hella

weak cypress
#

@balmy condor yo are praying for ass buffs on the 17th or are you happy?

balmy condor
#

set it down to like 250 and see if it's better idk

ember condor
#

alright thanks

balmy condor
ember condor
#

i was just wondering if you guys are playing it at some set number or even at 0

balmy condor
#

so like, idk, maybe everything needs nerfs

balmy condor
severe meadow
balmy condor
#

I would never go under like 150

ember condor
#

good to know tyvm

balmy condor
#

np, you know what it actually does right

ember condor
#

i kinda don't tbh but i haven't had any issue before the midnight pre patch, then suddenly it started to feel like shit across all the classes so im just trying to figure it out

balmy condor
#

the spell queue window is a buffer, in milliseconds, where it'll queue up a button you press

#

so like lets say it's 250, if you press a button in that last quarter second before the next gcd, it'll automatically queue it up and send it as soon as it can

weak cypress
#

Wait yall playing with q on ? Is that a thing now

balmy condor
#

usually you'll see some weird people who don't get it saying to like lower it to your ping, which makes no sense

#

but the reason 0 is awful

spice surge
balmy condor
#

is because you literally eliminate the window

#

so even if you're full slamming your keys

weak cypress
balmy condor
#

you're going to have delays between the gcd coming up, and you hitting the button to cast

spice surge
#

And it's been in the game since cata

balmy condor
weak cypress
#

Damn

#

Where have I been

#

I’m playing on 250 ping bc I’m in Asia what should I set mine as

spice surge
#

Scroll up

weak cypress
#

So 250

haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

are you double casting abilities you don't want to double cast

severe meadow
ember condor
#

For example i've suddenly started to do 3 blackout kicks back to back on windwalker since midnight pre patch, because naturally im spamming the buttons this is literally never happened before so im quite lost xD

balmy condor
#

spellqueue is like, if you're double casting for some reason, lower it by 50-100 and see if its better

weak cypress
#

No and I’m also not Qing abilities either if I press 1 for mut and then 2 for garrote nothing happens I have to wait for gcd then press 2 other wise nothing

balmy condor
#

don't go under 150-200

spice surge
balmy condor
#

but if you're not double casting

#

then don't fucking touch it lmao

weak cypress
#

Ima have to play around and find out what’s going on with it

balmy condor
#

I hate it here

haughty flicker
#

i love you too

ember condor
#

is he joking or should i stop? xD

balmy condor
#

it's not you

#

but this is like the third time I say "don't do this" and hobo has gone "man I should do something with this"

#

and I'm just

#

so fucking tired

ember condor
#

for assa im double casting envenom with poisoner's drive and sometimes like casting 4 crimson tempest until my energy is exhausted. I have constant 50-55 ping and i think its on 300 now i will definitely lower it and try it like that

balmy condor
#

yes

#

you're fine

#

keep lowering until you stop doubling

ember condor
#

thanks a lot, huge info

balmy condor
#

np

weak cypress
balmy condor
#

I mean maybe

#

but realisitically if you didn't know that it existed until now

#

it should be 400

#

and so your issue is most likely between the keyboard and the chair

#

it's possible with your insane ping that you would need to raise it, but it's very unlikely

weak cypress
#

I’ve been playing since bfa and I’ve never even heard it mentioned didn’t even know it existed and I’ve got decent parses for 250 ping

balmy condor
#

well yes

#

it's not a dps gain or loss unless you go extreme with it and set it to like 30 or 900 or something

main bobcat
balmy condor
#

it's literally just the responsiveness of your buttons

#

so idk why you're mentioning your parses

#

makes me think you don't really get it, and if you don't really get it, you probably shouldn't be messing with it

weak cypress
#

How would you ever learn if you don’t touch it

balmy condor
#

....by understanding what it does?

#

do whatever you want man idk

#

you have my recommendation

#

I'm sure you can figure it out from there

ember condor
#

last question, do we ever use ambush for anything in m+?

balmy condor
#

no

#

and if we would, it would be from blindside

#

which doesn't require a button as it replaces mutilate

cunning needle
#

wait i dont need ambush on sep bind anymore?

balmy condor
#

nope

#

why would you

cunning needle
#

dunno

balmy condor
#

me neither

cunning needle

needed it before

is sin rogue still weak ST with the M+ build?

cunning needle
balmy condor

"still weak" compared to what

#

last season?

#

or compared to like

#

top ST spec in m+

raven fiber
#

just compared to the other classes, where are we sitting ST middle of the pack ?

balmy condor
#

yeh our st is fine but it's nothing crazy

#

could probably use a buff

#

but we're below average in raid as well

#

so if they buff us for raid or even just nerf the overperformers

#

it probably inevitably makes the m+ st good too

I hope both buff sin nuff op

If you looked at the sheet from manaforge and then saw what was actually played

#

You would be in for a surprise

golden loom
primal oasis
#

I don't really care about raids tbh

#

It's fine for m+ boss dmg

distant helm
#

A sheet based off numbers might be even worse for m+

golden loom
#

yeah was gonna say kekw

distant helm
#

We know whats somewhat good from beta for m+ but theres still 2 tuning patches before that

#

So youre pretty much just guessing

primal oasis
#

When I sim ST in a m+ build that's usually close to the dmg I'm actually doing on a boss in a m+ dungeon

#

And if it's not then I know I'm probably missplaying somehow

golden loom
#

do you sim it without buffs/no lust etc?

primal oasis
#

Only lust

golden loom
#

cause I can imagine simming full buffs everything 5min patchwerk and then going into m+ having a 2 min boss where you come in without cds would be pretty different 😄

primal oasis
#

Since lust is used for a lot of the boss fights anyway

#

Sometimes I sim without lust as well. But in the past it barely mattered for rogue

stable pasture
frosty cedar
#

you can add items to a top gear sim near the top of the UI where you can select your gear. You should be able to add whichever item at whichever ilvl. I suppose you could run a sim with one equipped and one without, or have them both in the same slot and highlight both of them only in that slot, so it Sims them against each other

#

I’m just holding to see if we get an embellishment tuning as well

#

I would get to change that when I recraft with higher crests, right

#

yeah but lets say row walkers becomes best, then you wont be able to create the two piece because you used sparks on dag

rugged basalt
#

I see what you mean

#

I hope fish hook doesn’t come back

I mean if you just get some vet daggers for now you're cruising

#

at current levels haste has higher prio than crit, but thatll prob change as we near higher tier gears

#

sin being weaker on lower keys due to mobs dieing faster, gonna get better overall gains in ST, im demolishing charts on ST currently.

#

but even aoe packs on good pulls with clean setup can hit 150k with CD

Eleem do you overwrite garrote when improved garrote has reached pandemic or you just wait until expires

storm forum
#

Assuming there's no damage bonus, this is going to be the most random tech for getting to DN from 4cp

desert salmon
#

I wait improved garrote expires and continue even in pandemic

#

Am I right?

You generally want the improved garrotes to expire yes

#

am i just bad or is assa misserable in dungeon?

plush umbra
#

m0 is not a good representation of how a spec will play in dungeons, stuff tends to die quite fast

#

and assassination suffers a bit from that

eternal sandal
#

i just constantly feel like i never have energy to play the game T_T

plush umbra
#

but no way to accurately answer your question because for all we know, you may have done them without having poisons applied or something

#

that's expected

#

assassination doesn't have energy to spam buttons the entire time, that's how the spec is supposed to work

eternal sandal
#

i mean i mained assa for the last 3 seasons so i imagine im not a total potato

plush umbra
#

energy regen from bleeds is much lower compared to previous seasons

#

so if you're used to having infinite energy in aoe, that's no longer true

eternal sandal
#

ye

#

feels so bad now with how you play around crimson cause if you dont spam it you dont get a good prolif going and idk, i feel like what i heard about assa is more true now than last expansion

distant reef
#

How is Assa in ST nowadays? Is a good spec for switching targets now?

#

In raids, is it better to play sub or outlaw?

Our energy regen rate is absolutely killer so far. Even just spreading your bleeds uses up all your energy and then you just..... stand there

sacred oyster
#

the problem is worrying about it so much. its ok to have a few seconds of not pushing a button. your bleeds are still doing damage.

royal lantern
#

but assa apm is the same as it was in tww

sacred oyster
#

if your damage is fine, its ok that you have some downtime on actions

gray horizon
#

I mean that's boring though

sacred oyster
#

then play another spec or class. but you know sometimes things require a few seconds of not doing dmg

royal lantern
#

man, look at the apex talent, its literally the intend lol

sacred oyster
#

you are doing damage still, its just not requiring a button push

#

you can continue to spam even w/o energy if you need the button pressing

royal lantern
#

like idk man

#

its a spec where the apex talent literally says "when your envenom buff drops, AKA when you cant use abilitys anymore or chose not to do it, something happens"

gray horizon
#

Just because it's intended doesn't mean it's enjoyable

royal lantern

and just because you dont think its enjoyable doesnt mean its bad

gray horizon

true

#

I've been playing sin since wotlk though and I gotta say this is the most boring it has felt in a long time

royal lantern

but its literally the same apm as it was in tww

and tww assa was one of its fastest versions ever

oh trust me i am the kick lord in these 0's

what i meant is, meow

#

Honestly the energy will only get better because as your crit gets higher, you need less FOK and CT to be able to chain envenoms

#

Same in ST with mutilate

subtle tundra
#

what

#

you press the same amount of CT, to spread bleeds

#

or am i stooped

gray horizon
#

he's talking about the increased CP from crits

sacred oyster
#

yeah the main starvation comes from the burst CT

gray horizon
#

i think

sacred oyster
#

yeah, and DS will also help energy a lil bit with crit too

subtle tundra
#

yeah but you still want to spread yo bleeds

#

what are the rules on opener?

sacred oyster

dashing scoundrel i mean, i realized DS could be misinterpreted as death stalker lol

subtle tundra

ct spam until eveything bleeds?

sacred oyster

yes

and then spend?

sacred oyster

ignore dumping CP until all is spread

subtle tundra

meowzerz this spec sucka

#

sub so much fucking better

its incredible

latent kernel

I mean sure but that’s why tea exists lol

sacred oyster

and hold DM/KB until all bleeding too

except tea is auto used and you cant hold it

so you have 0 uses all the time

no cdr shenanigans on sub makes it so good

this is my first expac release played (i hadnt played for 15+ years....), will mythics still be raid locked on season start or is that only for pre season

royal lantern
#

you mean mythic raid?

sacred oyster
#

no, m dungeons

#

like m0s are raid locked atm

rugged basalt
royal lantern
#

iirc m0 will be daily lockout

#

which is weird when m+ exists

#

but i dont understand many things blizz does

rugged basalt
#

Yes when the season starts. And it’ll be champ 1/6

sacred oyster
#

its weekly atm, is what im asking about

#

so itll go to daily lockout on season start?

subtle tundra
#

if youre a rogue main and dont have a hunter to play cause rogue will be unplayable, youre trolling

rugged basalt
#

I thought it did that in tww as well

sacred oyster

i wasnt here for previous expacs, i only played end of tww where nothing was locked and you could grind it as much as you wanted

assa kinda ass in general ngl

drifting cloud
rugged basalt
#

I’m an amnesiac at best, I recall it being both ways for some reason

drifting cloud

but m0 are basically irrelevant as soon as m+ opens

but blizz gonna blizz i gues

drifting cloud

Other than collectablr farming

sacred oyster

Yes

ye

and we can grind for gear as hard as we can during the week

when m+ is out

you can spam your brain out 24/7

rugged basalt

m+ won’t have lockouts since key levels change and so will gear

sacred oyster
#

how long does the crest caps usually last?

royal lantern

halfway into the season?

drifting cloud

like 4 months

#

3-4

rugged basalt

At least based on tww

sacred oyster
#

and does anyone know how the crestless upgrades work for trinkets. my buddies was able to upgrade their 2nd trinket for free once upgrading first, but mine was trying to charge me crests still.

rugged basalt
#

Sounds like they maxed out two trinkets

royal lantern
#

for "dual slots" like trinkets/rings/both weapons on dualwielders, you need both slots upgraded for the discount

#

example with made up numbers

you have a 295 and a 300 trinket, that means you have the discount up to 295

sacred oyster
#

ah, i thought youd only have to do one slot then it marks the trinket slot as maxed and you can do the 2nd one. thats what it sounded like they thought the expeirence was, but maybe they didnt realize they upgraded both

exotic hearth
#

You should still be able to do the work around of swapping which slot it's in, no?

coral ibex

#

Based on the wowhead guide, we are supposed to spam Crimson Tempest to spread bleeds after Kingsbane even though we will be at full combo points from Kingsbane/our apex talents. Is that correct?

#

for the aoe opener

slate scarab
#

I'm not a cutting edge rogue by any means, but me and my guild usually finish the raid on heroic difficulty in time for the Ahead of the Curve achievement (just for a frame of reference on difficulty)

I've read the dagger to have made is the regular one and then embellished with the stat buff. I think the Fish Hook one sounds really cool though and I wanted to try that out.

I know it will be a damage loss (otherwise the fish hook would be the one suggested in the guide!), but is it a really low difference? If it's 1% or less overall DPS I can live with that. I'm not sure how to sim it before I get the gear to test it, so asking advice here from the guys who know. Thanks.

coral ibex
#

in very large target count pulls yes but otherwise i believe you should be finishing with envenom at 5+ while you spread bleeds

maiden wave
#

okay thanks

coral ibex
#

if you want to craft it, its your account

#

nobody can stop you

balmy condor
#

problem with fish hook is that it's a single target effect that's like -0.3% in single target

#

compared to effects that give raw stats

#

which would obviously give aoe damage as well

weary stump
severe meadow
#

But yeah you can use whatever for AOTC gaming

weary stump
#

Or like +1 fishing skill

severe meadow
#

1% dps won’t make or break you

slate scarab
#

OK, thanks for the feedback. I know its just a game and I can do anything for fun, but I don't want to intentionally hamper my DPS too much, that feels rude to the rest of my team.

I wish they at least made the fishook better for single target dps, at least then I'd have SOME reason to get it. Bummer, but really appreciate the quick feedback. Thanks!

balmy condor
#

also just for the record

#

cause a lot of people go "fish hook so cool"

#

the bleed doesn't have any interactions with assassination

#

item effects never do

#

it's just a flat added damage thing that's standalone

coral ibex
balmy condor

On another note, wow do I love the new crimson tempest design. Doing dungeons has been a blast for me, the tab targeting has been reduced immensely. I don't know about the overall Sin power level, but the fun factor has gone way up for me. Love it!

So we dont have even plater scripts, that change colors of target with certain debuffs ?

#

I was using one on some classes, but now it changes colors only when im out of combat

balmy condor
#

correct

#

you can change color of stuff based on how blizzard determines mobs

#

there's like a caster/mini boss tag

#

that you can use

#

but that's on blizzards end, you have no control over that

#

and coloring based on debuffs is hard no

Fuck no

#

i really appreciate blizzard for nuking all the utility of weakauras just for my ui to look literally identical just lacking some recoloring options in various places

Burn your energy before you have to leave

balmy condor
coral ibex

no

#

i didnt want any of this

balmy condor
#

“Don’t touch my UI I want my UI to look the same, but you can kill boss weakauras”

coral ibex
#

the exact same goals could have been achieved by updating the terms of service to ban certain kinds of computation

balmy condor
#

How do you ban for that

#

The API is just there, the addons can just read the combatlog

#

All the computation is done locally

#

Like yes, sure

#

But how are you testing people for that

#

Throw some riot vanguard anti-cheat into World of Warcraft?

haughty flicker
#

make them pinky promise

balmy condor
#

That would’ve been an even bigger shitshow

#

Cause if you’re not going to change the API to block the computation, and you’re not going to do some kernel anti-cheat

#

You literally can’t know

coral ibex
#

yea i dont have the answer but maybe if they spent more time on the transition instead of just hard breaking everything and then walking it back over a short beta they could have figured out a solution that didn't mean every non-combat weakaura that players used had to be broken out into separate addons to be installed

haughty flicker
#

well a lot of them didnt

#

its just weakauras decided not to update and instead of forking it people just made their own addons

#

although now there is a fork i think

coral ibex
#

in other words, a solution that didn't cause the unpaid maintainers of one of the most widely relied on addons to give up instead of attempt to work with it

haughty flicker
#

there wouldnt be a solution like that

#

blizzards goal was to strip a ton of that functionality

#

and the wa devs didnt want to do that

#

which is 100% perfectly valid

#

now obviously blizzard didnt handle the situation well, we shouldve had the restrictions put into place slowly over midnight instead of dropped in all at once

#

with not enough time for them to develop their own solutions
