How does it feel to play? I dont care too much about numbers. I'm more curious how the rotation feels

balmy condor
#

I think it’s great, much smoother than tww

stuck lodge
#

Spin two plates and count to 5

balmy condor
#

People will bitch about no energy though

shadow lark
#

Hasn't that always been an issue thats had to be worked through?

analog swan
#

thats cuz ppl never used regicide or tried to understand it

#

Hello super new rogue here, QQ. During Kingsbane is it okay to mutilate during the 5 free attacks it does? it sometimes doesn't get all 7 combo points so I'm wondering if a mutilate during the sequence, does it cancel it out at all?

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

You should just kingsbane -> envenom once you get to 5

shadow lark
#

people are always flipping out tbf

analog swan
#

i know alot of rogues that never tried to use regicide on pre season cuz people were going mostly dashing scoundrel with scent of blood and complained bout energy

cedar pelican
balmy condor
#

You don’t take regicide for energy

#

Also it’s completely passive

shadow lark
#

but cool, if it feels better than TWW assassination, looks like i'll be leveling rogue tonight

balmy condor
#

what do you mean understand it

#

It’s just haste

#

I have so many questions

stuck lodge
#

Has the opener changed? I think I saw Sims using imp g, mut, rupture, imp g, mut, mut, envemon, DM, KB, envenom, then normal rotation

balmy condor
#

Won’t be taking imp gar on a lot of raid fights

#

But you just mut instead

static glacier
analog swan
# balmy condor I have so many questions

well on pre season atleast you would get like 20%-30% haste on it, decreasing by 2% every second. it gave a nice energy boost i recon. nothing crazy but worked well with venomous wounds and dashing if energy was an issue

static glacier
stuck lodge
#

Gotcha, I think before we weren't envenoming before the DM, KB. Or at least I wasn't.

static glacier
#

Caustic feels super hit / miss this raid

balmy condor
analog swan
#

each 10% is 1 energy per second +/-

balmy condor
#

This I want to hear

analog swan
static glacier
balmy condor
#

It’s 2% haste per 5 stacks of kingsbane

#

Idk what preseason has to do with it

#

You’re getting the same amount as you did during preseason

analog swan
#

preseason was very bad on energy no?

balmy condor
#

No?

static glacier
#

Was it?

balmy condor
#

Why would it have been

#

It’s the exact same as now

static glacier
#

Hold a moment, before you continue - we are not trying to “fix” energy and reach gcd cap, it’s impossible

analog swan
#

i started playing on it thats why i go back to it, saw alot complaining bout it. auto attacking on mythic cuz no energy for envenom

#

it was preseason anyway

#

now u got implacable for more energy

balmy condor
#

That’s just how the spec plays after the changes

static glacier
#

That’s what sin is, my man - you build cps, wait for envenom to get low (I don’t even think this matters atm) then env > build cps and repeat. You spend time waiting for envenom duration to tick down while autoing

viral aurora
static glacier
#

The spec by design has downtime

balmy condor
#

You’re correct btw mo

#

Envenom duration is ignored

analog swan
#

ur right, i get it. i didnt complain on preseason either

royal lantern
#

just slam envenom

#

dont think

#

just slam

#

thinking is stinky

analog swan
#

i did take regicide to help my cause back then tho

static glacier
royal lantern
analog swan
#

wait what

royal lantern
#

10% haste is 1 energy

analog swan
#

10% haste = 1 energy per sec no?

static glacier
#

And I honestly think this iteration of sin might be the most energy overloaded I’ve seen in a long while

fallow canopy
royal lantern
#

look how much mutilate costs mate lol

balmy condor
#

It’s not that big of a deal

royal lantern
#

10% haste is a single mutilate in 1 minute

analog swan
#

damn

#

ur right

royal lantern
#

well, when abilitys cost 50 energy

#

1 energy more for 10% haste is not really something you will see or feel

analog swan
#

im never using regicide again

balmy condor
#

that’s not the takeaway

royal lantern
#

haste is not used cus "omg more energy"

its just more dmg

analog swan
#

oh wait

#

haste has alot more than just energy doesnt it

#

let me google im acting dumb

royal lantern
#

well yeha its dmg

stuck lodge
#

It do be more energy though

analog swan
#

cast times for spells, increasing auto-attack speeds for melee/ranged, and increasing damage-over-time (DoT) or heal-over-time (HoT) tick rates

#

ah

stuck lodge
#

Just not like.. significant unless it's pretty high amounts

royal lantern
#

realisticaly its not something that will make you go from "omg im starved" to "omg i can spam 24/7"

#

we talk about like, 1-2 more abilitys in a minute if you get 10% more haste or smth like that

stuck lodge
#

How does it scale? If you get 20/30% more does it go to 3/6 more

#

I imagine it's not linear like that

royal lantern
#

.......what? ofc it is

stuck lodge
#

No diminishing returns?

royal lantern
#

and where do you suddenly get 30% haste from kekman

#

like, 30% is a LOT

stuck lodge
#

I just mean 30% haste overall from gear or whatever

analog swan
#

so on 20% more haste its 2 more energy per sec, all the damage over time ticks 20% faster, attack speed 20% faster

#

not bad

#

ofc regicide ticks down quickly, just tryina see the max value

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

its value is "you do some bonus dmg after kb ends"

#

again, #1 rule in WoW is "dont overthink stuff"

analog swan
#

fk that rule

stuck lodge
#

Oh so its the raw value that diminishes rather than the %

#

Cool

balmy condor
#

You need more to get the same percent yeah

analog swan
#

i only started overthinking now and look how much i learned in this last hour

balmy condor
#

and that’s only true of raw secondary values

#

Like if something says 20% haste

analog swan
#

i shouldve joined this server when i started playing

balmy condor
#

It’s just 20% haste

#

But if something said +2000 haste

#

That would hit the dr

analog swan
#

how tf am i top dps with so much stuff badly understood

#

jesus

stuck lodge
#

Like lust or whatever, sure.

Talents especially

#

If you’re picking random talents

analog swan
#

thats how damage over time works dude, u either watch them bleed or u dont

balmy condor
#

You’re gonna get pretty close to perfect without really trying

balmy condor
#

Because it doesn’t really matter if you’re picking talent A or talent B, when they’re both 2.5% value

analog swan
royal lantern
#

and when the trees are build in a way that makes it almost impossible to not take the important things

#
  • point gates that force you to put points into things
analog swan
#

also i did a nice thing on prepatch that helped me boost damage on some mythic+ that was putting 2 points on scent of blood to do fok>CT>CT and get 20% of agility on a pack with 155 energy (after garrote and rupt)

#

i dont think its valuable anymore cuz things die too fast for now, need to get into mythic+ to test again with packs that do take time to kill

#

so i make max value of that 155 energy

tall spindle
#

Hi, i'm new to the spec and I've just seen that the additional poisons we apply have less application chance, so in wich order should I use them ?

jolly stirrup
#

Isnt scent of blood rank 2 not more damage, but yiu need less mobs to reach max stacks?

#

Or am I stupid

royal lantern
frosty cedar
royal lantern
#

its just a small decrease on all poisons

#

but that doesnt matter cus poisons have a 100% uptime anyway

tall spindle
#

oh I see, I misunderstood that, ty

crisp pine
#

Imagine if it worked like that tho

analog swan
analog swan
stuck lodge
#

I dont believe it has ever mattered that way

analog swan
#

that would be a pain

crisp pine
#

in classic you had to craft your poisons

analog swan
#

to be fair its already a damn pain to have to do it every hour

stuck lodge
#

Yeah, but once you applied them they just went on

crisp pine
#

I wish they just gave us a toggle

royal lantern

No chance to fail

waxen oyster
#

idk how peopl remember shit

#

from 20 years ago

analog swan
#

this beauty saves me from embarrassment

stuck lodge
#

Yeah its pretty annoying during the hour long pulls, huge dps loss to reapply

waxen oyster
#

hour long pulls garf

#

huh

analog swan
#

imagine starting a raid pull, realizing u got no poisons and have to sit there applying 4 of them LMAO

#

never happened to me cuz of the addon

#

i cant imagine the embarassment

royal lantern
crisp pine
#

I just play without poisons

analog swan
#

fk that lol

#

i would die

waxen oyster
#

i've done it on farm

crisp pine
#

can't be bothered

analog swan
#

holy chad

waxen oyster
#

got orange still

stuck lodge
#

I just obsessively reapply them with like 50 minutes left

royal lantern
#

"pull a boss, realise that something is really weird with energy, notice that poisons are not applied" is a universal part of playing assa that happens atleast once

waxen oyster
#

and frankly i'd rather put my crotch in a grinder than do m+

what does cosmetics, transmogs, house, achievmeents, mounts do?

#

ur playing the wrong game bud

waxen oyster
#

its not even a nice mount

#

the deathwalkers in SL were kind of neat

analog swan
#

true

waxen oyster
#

couldnt name off one m+ mount since

analog swan

i prioritize 3k more so i get invited more often

the only point of housing is to win rolls over other people in your raid

waxen oyster

#

Whisp I have a question about Sims. Can I somehow change the SIMC code so I change spec?

#

Like I want to do for assa and sub

#

Or do I need 2 different strings?

balmy condor
#

I.. what

#

You want to sim two specs at once?

#

Or what

coral ibex
#

i think he wants to top gear diff specs

jolly stirrup
balmy condor
#

Top gear diff specs is just two sims, no?

#

How would that even work logistically

analog swan
coral ibex
#

the question is: is there a way to choose diff specs like you can choose diff talents

#

in 1 sim

vestal wren

balmy condor

Okay fuu but let’s be serious

#

Who’s changing to outlaw

coral ibex
#

i got a hero sword drop from raid bc i said "outlaw might not be a meme"

balmy condor
#

Agi mace went to the enhancer

spice spire
#

Surely

balmy condor
#

But I’m getting the next one

coral ibex
#

we have no enhance or even a surv hunter

balmy condor
#

We have a surv hunter

#

But he played mm because it’s stupid

coral ibex
#

yea the MM bar was looking way too big imo

balmy condor
#

And has like +30% worth of bugs or something idk what he said

spice spire
#

Pao a freak tho

balmy condor

Also being higher on the meter doesnt mean you are more valuable for the raid

Anyone know the target stats for the assasin? I know crit is best then haste, but addons keep telling me some items with haste are an upgrade vs items with crit, I was wondering if anyone knows the exact numbers I should be aiming for? (x % crit, y % haste, etc)

strange onyx
#

Crit haste

#

sim

#

Nah we dont have any breakpoints like that

stuck lodge
#

Getting to something like 80-90% haste would be real good though

#

in terms of energy gain

stark sparrow
#

Well I'm at 17% so it's a bit far..

#

how do you even get to 90% haste

strange onyx
#

he is lying to you

stuck lodge
#

You don't have tier yet, give it time

stuck lodge
#

Whoa whoa, it WOULD be good to get to 80-90% haste

stark sparrow
#

Is it even possible to get that high?

stuck lodge
#

no

every gear qestion in wow is "sim stuff"

these are the perfect stats for assa atm

they are mine

and I am perfect

Should I trust the addons to tell me which gear is best..?

#

thats INSANELY low, wow

#

its one extra mutilate

spring moat
#

balmy condor
#

Over a fight it gives roughly the same as venomous wounds or dashing scoundrel or thistle tea

worn monolith
#

im mentally blocked on sin's design with this energy economy. I feel like we're fundamentally misunderstanding something for this to make sense

thorn thorn
#

Pooling gameplay incentivized but without the pooling gameplay

#

Cuz they forgor to make pooling actually matter

#

Or exist

stuck lodge
#

idk when I watched Whispyrs raid stream it seemed like he was always pretty set on energy

#

but I'm shit and run out

worn monolith
#

I was saying last night, after my opener last night, I had used all 3 thistle teas, which feels like a mistake, but i dont know how it is

stuck lodge
#

probably the lack of managing apex currently

thorn thorn
#

Thet did say they want energy management to be a thing for sin they just kinda forgor to actually make it a thing

worn monolith
#

the only way I found energy decent was if I envenomed right before the buff dropped off

thorn thorn
#

They want you to pool but envenom has infinite uptime and thus so does apex garf

worn monolith
#

so i held envenom and just autoattacked for 3-4 seconds

strange onyx
#

if u dont look like this u are whack

worn monolith
#

Implacable needs to change to 80% increased regen for like 20 seconds or something, to cover a full 5 envenom cycle

#

or not, i dont know

#

it just feels like it's missing some core step

balmy condor
#

Yeah that would make it worse

#

Cause you just turned it into yet another 100% uptime buff for assassination

#

Cause that’s what we need right

worn monolith
#

yeah, but it currently makes no sense

hollow mesa
#

you can cancle aura it

gilded oasis
#

I wish implacable just put a picture of Whispyr in a murloc onesie on my screen

worn monolith
#

right now it's a contradictory talent, that doesnt have much of a payoff

strange onyx
#

i legit do not get this discussion about energy

rancid anvil
strange onyx
#

it feels fine??

balmy condor
#

It makes plenty of sense it’s just not strong enough and envenoms duration is way too fucking long

worn monolith
#

thats interesting, shortening envenoms uptime

hollow mesa
#

you can cancel aura it and apply a new one. losing no uptime and getting your buff. mostly usefull when using CT

balmy condor
#

like here

#

think about it this way

#

if the goal is to manage something

#

anything at all, doesn't have to be energy, just generally speaking

#

that thing you are managing, cannot be always active

#

or else you just.... don't manage it

#

it's just there

#

there must be headroom on whatever thing it is you're managing, otherwise you have no reason to manage it

#

that's the inherent payoff you get

balmy condor
#

the really stupid and dumb analogy that doesn't entirely make sense is money, you invest into your retirement fund because you want the number to go up so you have enough money to retire

#

if you just had 25 million dollars in your retirement fund

#

what's the point of the retirement fund

#

you can just quit

#

and that's the same shit with all this energy and envenom stuff

#

implacable exists, rapid injection exists

#

there's all this "envenom during envenom"

#

even dashing is "envenom's effect"

#

people don't really even realize that dashing is conditional on envenom being active

#

but like, that's a thing

#

it's not just passive 1 energy per envenom crit

#

functionally, it is

#

but that's the missing headroom

#

the spec is designed inherently to "manage energy" through envenom

#

in theory, the intention is that there is headroom on the uptime of the effect, and you're able to for example get more envenoms under the effect of rapid injection, or get more dashing scoundrel uptime

#

but if you completely ignore the buff on envenom, and just slam on 5cp (which is the correct thing to do)

#

you end up at 96-98% uptime completely by accident, in blue leveling gear from heroic dungeons at the start of an expansion

#

so it's just double-fucked

#

not only is there no headroom for actual management, there's no headroom for gear

#

you get more crit -> more combo points

#

you get more haste -> more energy

#

what is that going towards though

#

it's not actually doing anything, other than making people press another mut-mut-env during a fight

#

and that's why I hate this whole energy discussion all the time, because the "easy" solution is always "oh just buff energy" or "oh make CT cheaper"

#

and that doesn't fix anything

#

it's just more envenoms for the sake of more envenoms

#

because pressing button > not pressing button

i really dont think so

stuck lodge
balmy condor
#

wdym you don't think so

#

do I have to pull up the blue posts that say literally that

strange onyx
balmy condor
#

this isn't an opinion or a theory

#

that's just.... what they said

hollow mesa
#

the dmg is just being shifted into Envenom dmg, more crit = more cbp for envenom, more haste = more energy for the same

slate birch
#

i know i read the blue post im not saying ur wrong but i think class simplification is their main goal, regardless of how it aligns with what they said

thorn thorn
stuck lodge
#

yeah but what does the guy who writes the guide say about it

strange onyx
#

not even about the guy who writes the guide, it is just waht they said xd

thorn thorn
#

I would like one pooling designed spec

#

But without the pooling

fallow canopy
sand elm
west crown
#

When does Blizzard mean what they say

runic hinge
balmy condor
slate birch
#

like to me it feels like they are willing to strip spec identity entirely in order to achieve simplifaction

runic hinge
#

spec is already pretty simple lol

sand elm
#

isnt the identity we're more about poisons than the others

thorn thorn
#

The spec really didnt get much easier going into midnight

west crown
runic hinge
#

pooling and making us not press buttons seems simpler too

thorn thorn
#

The only significant change is CT being just a fusion of fok and ic

balmy condor
thorn thorn
#

Which is a fairly minor change compared to what other specs got

spring moat
#

isnt it literally managing bleeds and spam envenom at 5+?

balmy condor
#

assa at its core has always been "energy starved" or whatever you wanna call it

#

by design

#

they just haven't managed to make that design worth playing around

#

cause they keep adding a bunch of shit that sounds cool in theory

#

but squashing the spec into a perma uptime mess

#

like dashing scoundrel could be 2 energy, it used to be 2 energy

#

can't do that though if it's 100% uptime

#

you could if it was 60% uptime

#

rapid injection is 15/30%

#

could easily be 25/50

#

if envenom wasn't full uptime

#

there are ways to fix it

#

they just stop halfway

I think if they actually committed further to the poison fantasy of the spec it would run smoother. Take the cool bleed things out of sin and give it to feral. Make new poison things for sin

runic hinge

I don't even think they need to take the bleed things out

#

they just have to take a look at envenom

My ideal version of the spec would be pooling to be like a 10% gain and set spatter to only activate off KB

And we return to poison bomb gamba for aoe

Using abit of both Method and wowhead and icyveins, but they are abit different all over.

Mostly for M+, but maybe also one for raiding. If theres much of a difference.

Use wowhead

I might be doing something wrong, but i donno. Usually PvP only untill Midnight release.

For PVE use wowhead, IV should be similar

we do this instead. Before I get to your thing, I shuffled venomous/caustic higher up so you get it earlier, moved the fok stuff to the left, avulsion is under shrouded, poison bomb is under finish the job/lethal dose/fatal conc

there's two new talents which for the sake of brevity I'm gonna call red bomb and blue poison. Red bomb is an extension of kingsbane, which makes every tick of kingsbane explode in a poisonous burst. This would essentially function the same as poison bomb/caustic but just do one aoe hit, reduced after 5 targets. This would be affected by mastery/dashing scoundrel/zoldyck/spatter just like poison bomb, etc. We rework the 4th apex talent and give it a new name because it's stupid that all 4 implacable points are called implacable and this is my fantasy dream land, so I get to do whatever the fuck I want. So like I said, we'll rework the last apex point to toxic collapse, which adds a 2 second dot to the poison bomb/red bomb cloud, and pulls mobs towards your target like the delve boss gravity orb, and your poison bomb and red bomb gets to hit it all yippie. If you don't want the suck-effect, you can turn it off while not in combat via a toggle. Then because, again, I can do whatever the fuck I want, I'm splitting apex 2 into two parts, the first one can stay 10% mastery whatever, the second part makes poison bomb stronger and proc more often. Then for the blue poison, because we moved avulsion out of the way, we can add a new passive, which bridges the gap from poisons to bleeds, and this does basically what the 2 set/secondary should do, but actually worth. Every time a bleed ticks on a poisoned enemy, it does an instant hit equal to a % of the remaining damage of deadly poisons dot. If you want that to be its own poison instead, you could do that and just have a dot attached to it and make it deal a % of that instead.

then we nerf bleeds as a whole and nerf generators to balance the red bomb, apex, and blue poison additions alongside all the other tuning I'm about to do which is buff caustic, nerf envenom to a flat 4 second duration whenever its used with 5 or more combo points, buff dashing to 2 energy, rapid injection to 25/50, inspiring strike to 8%, poisoner's drive to 2cp. Sudden demise we're buffing the execute effect from 150 to 125 and upping the execute range to 40% for the delve/open world/low keys. Scent of blood goes from 2%/4% for a max of 20% to 4%/8% for a max of 12%/24%

and now I'm tired and I finished my monster and I'm gonna take a nap wake me up when tuning

uhhh uhhh uuhhh, okay so deathstalker, just like it is now, but instead of the mark right, it's uhhhh, a stacking buff for your envenom when you apply a poison (no this isn't just amp poison shut up), and uhhhhhhhhhh, when you apply 100 poisons, then uhhh the next envenom goes giga kaboom and uhhhhh has like an extra 9 gorilliion percent chance to apply poisons for 10 seconds
