I mean it's very simple

lime edge
#

tbh

#

its such a lame apex

analog field
#

I tank these questions so you have a peaceful night

balmy condor
#

people just fucking overcomplicate it

lime edge
#

why tf do we have this

#

and not something cool

balmy condor
#

it's the most interesting of the 3 rogue specs idk

lime edge
#

i mean maybe idk

#

still seems boring

balmy condor
#

is this "something cool"

quiet star
balmy condor
#

wdym

plush isle
#

just found a addon "nooka implacable", seems to work

balmy condor
#

all of this has been calculated

quiet star
#

With sim

#

People can't decide what item their bis without sim

loud light
#

it's literally just start pooling if you're at 80 implacable, send envenom anyway if you're gonna overcap energy

#

if you read the tooltip this is obviously what you do to not waste energy

balmy condor
#

well yeah, there's like 250 items in a given season

#

and if you're comparing them at 6/6 myth

#

any single swap is not impactful enough

#

sims are a necessity for gear

quiet star
balmy condor
#

correct

#

where are we going with this

quiet star
#

We going to the point that "overcomplication" is the nature of this game

balmy condor
#

of the community yes

#

not of the game

quiet star
#

So it's fine sometimes

analog field
#

stats don't work in a way, especially for rogues

balmy condor
#

the game is inherently designed to where you can just do whatever you want at pretty much any given time

analog field
#

You can't choose your gear based on stats most of the time

quiet star
analog field
#

I mean you can and the difference will be small, but you will not pick the best combination probably

coral ibex
#

the overcomplication comes from the humans playing the spec. i promise if you just slam buttons and dont even think about the apex and do everything else correctly (unlikely) you will have great logs

quiet star
#

It's like saying "we have so many addons because of community and not because game ui is dogshit"

coral ibex
#

this spec is literally designed to be low thoughts per second

velvet hornet
#

do you guys have any theories on why there are so few rogues compared to other classes? like is it thought of being to hard to play, or the lack of utility? just wondering

balmy condor
#

the game created a need to sim and optimize because it can't be tested by humans

the community created a delusional dreamworld where things are more complicated than they actually are because they think they're so much smarter but in reality we're all insanely bad at conceptualizing the best thing to do given 50 different buffs and combat states

coral ibex
#

source: i ask people in every guild im in

balmy condor
#

we can solve for those with sims, and we do, that's why we play around apex talent the way we do

waxen oyster
balmy condor
#

but overcomplicating it because people think they can find some edge case that's better in a hypothetical that doesn't exist

quiet star
waxen oyster
#

and most players are hyper casuals

balmy condor
#

is not the games fault

#

that's just people being idiots

quiet star
#

How about ring enchant text?

#

Am i overcomplicating by checking actual numbers?

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

yes

waxen oyster
#

Alot of overcomplicating gearing is because wow players try to find something else to blame

#

than their own gameplay

balmy condor
#

your ring enchants have no bearing on your success as a player

waxen oyster
#

”its not i suck its the gear”

quiet star
#

Like I can imagine someone to try and create his own build

waxen oyster
#

idk i paste the wowhead build

coral ibex
#

actually WHISPYR changing to crit eff enchants was an upgrade within margin of error i'll have you know

quiet star
#

When you don't know what is working and how

waxen oyster
#

i havent read half the talents

quiet star
#

Like internal bleeds with ct

trim cairn
fallow canopy
balmy condor
velvet hornet
spice surge
#

Idk id argue ct+internal bleed is doing the expected outcome when reading the talents

quiet star
#

Still it sims better on my feral btw

waxen oyster
#

i just paste what whispyr’s guide says

quiet star
#

And even so, why the f we have same numbers if they are not same

trim cairn
waxen oyster
balmy condor
#

internal bleeding is so giga op btw

waxen oyster
#

bruh people overcomplicate lethal dose

balmy condor
waxen oyster
#

put on poisons

#

game plays itself

#

????

#

why we overcomplicating shit

glacial relic
#

Heyo whispyr the new patch raid build how come we dont want dtb? Other talents bigger number?

royal hazel
#

Factually i dunno. But i could make an assumed understanding why zerocool was running it.

waxen oyster
#

bruh

balmy condor
#

that might be the worst explaination

waxen oyster
#

everything a streamer plays

balmy condor
#

I've ever heard

waxen oyster
#

must be correct

#

if zerocool told you to drink 10 monsters in one sitting would you do it

spice surge
#

Them ciggies gotta crit

royal hazel
#

In the huge pulls. Envenom crit dam could be the difference and boss dam is very important at high keys

trim cairn
waxen oyster
#

yeah let me logically think

#

that 2% crits

#

is more than 4% bleed

trim cairn
#

I'm not arguing for that part lmao

#

Thats fked

waxen oyster
#

the first time i read that talent i was like

waxen oyster
#

who the fk balanced this node

royal hazel
#

Rip

balmy condor
#

and canny actually kinda sucks in huge pulls too cause you're not getting more cp

#

so like

#

none of what you said

#

makes any sense

waxen oyster
#

but if i was fr doing keys that high

royal hazel
#

I am not saying its right. Internal is gigga for me

waxen oyster
#

i wouldnt be playing rogue

royal hazel
#

Why not

trim cairn
#

to play a rogue you need to have a chip on your shoulder and a dildo in your ass

royal hazel
#

Prob a dh guy

waxen oyster
#

rather play something useful

#

to the group

quiet star
balmy condor
#

like it's pointless to just sim and say "here's best" without any context

waxen oyster
#

belf is ass

#

might as well play panda for more mainstat

balmy condor
#

just look at sub haste breakpoints

#

those are simmed technically, but they're heavily feelcrafted

trim cairn
#

ye they account for the human factor

quiet star
waxen oyster
#

false

#

pretty sure dragon is better than some races

#

i.e vulpera undead

quiet star
#

Glide

#

That's it

waxen oyster
#

nightborne

strange onyx
#

Every night, all you do is fight, fight, fight

balmy condor
#

but now the sub players are saying mastery is shit stat cause crit gains good value with trickster so ya know KEKW ROUND AND ROUND WE GO MORE PEOPLE JUST BRAIN OFF

waxen oyster
#

and the guidewriters say stats dont change much

strange onyx
#

Crit makes my number bigger, haste make my number faster. How could it ever be anything but best?

waxen oyster
#

i also racechange my rogue every other season

#

out of boredom anyway

hot topic elf discount on mogs is fun

#

but spatial rift is dick

storm forum
#

Rift on immobile ranged caster? Incredible. Rift on mobile melee dps? Donkey dick.

waxen oyster
#

if it went over holes in the ground

#

or z axis

#

it would be cool

#

but it fucking doesnt

#

by immobile ranged caster you mean lock/spriest?

#

thought its better to be drac

storm forum
#

I was thinking of my priest

keen raven
#

Y'all reckon they're gonna buff asa now that they put outlaw and sub ahead of it

pliant remnant
#

No

waxen oyster
#

drac priest is sick

storm forum

Dragon is great for certain mechanics, but a long range gtfo button is life saving in way more circumstances for me

trim cairn
waxen oyster
#

yeah i mean thats what playing priest does

fickle girder
waxen oyster
#

idk i thought glide is op on priest

solid yew
#

when do we fok over mutilate? when theres 2 or is it 3 targets?

storm forum
#

Depends on talents. With blindside 3 targets, without blindside 2 targets

solid yew

ahh ok ty!

storm forum
waxen oyster
#

spatial just feels like

#

a really bad door of shadows

#

and i think half the time i used door on rogue was just to disorient people

storm forum
#

Maybe it's cause disc is rly mobile recently, and that's what I play most, but I find getting knocked back isn't too bad most of the time and being able blink through a bad puddle or a wall or wherever the tank needed to freestyle dragging the boss to is better for me more often.

#

Yeah rift being 3 minutes compared to no CD sucks sometimes though

#

I miss door of shadows

#

Except for all the times it gave me "no path available" on what looked like a flat surface

SD is like reverse Aug, make allies look like they're doing less damage and not giving it back in logs

trim cairn
#

In theory yeah but in practice nah

#

I don't see the demo locks blasting the low hp stragglers in the back and I don't see party members live calculating my bleed damage to stop their dps on mobs so they can naturally bleed out on the last ticks

Monks touch of death ain't got nothing on us

Totally not holding cds on last boss until he is low just to pad the max number

wintry trout
#

With the set does garrote spread through CT apply poisons to the target?

balmy condor
#

no

#

it's easier if you just pretend that whole "garrote applies poisons" thing doesn't exist

#

because functionally it doesn't

wintry trout
#

Ah ok

#

That's silly

balmy condor
#

it's actually so abhorrently bad that you can't tell immediately if it's working or not by looking at sims

#

the 30% garrote damage is obvious

#

but when the poison thing got added to sims, the damage was within margin of error

#

and we had to go and look at applications and debug

storm forum
#

whispyr can you confirm for me again that not using crippling poison won't deprive me of 2% damage from lethal dose?

balmy condor
#

and go "yeah, thats working actually, it's just that fucking bad"

wintry trout
#

Imagine just auto attacking

balmy condor
#

auto attacking is 85-90% of your poison applications

storm forum
#

it guarantees to slow whatever you open up on when you use crippling poison

balmy condor
#

yeh or just don't use it

#

crippling that is

storm forum
#

the solution is to not use crippling poison or wait until everything is grouped

balmy condor
#

I don't think crippling is really that big of a deal considering people play with frost mage literally constantly and they just slow everything in an 80 yard radius by simply existing

#

but ya know

#

some people also go ape shit about restealths

#

so I guess there's clowns in every circus

im a fan of crippling poison if there are pulls i think my tank will wanna kite out, or right side nexus point

I did 3 pulls and we got him to 7% because some people went into the 4th soak and then I got kicked cuz the raid lead was scared the best healer would leave if the RL didnt invite his friend to the raid

#

and then they killed it the next pull

#

raid lead parsed literal 0 btw

#

I need to become a sociopath and start raid groups to carry me

zealous moth
#

He was too busy leading to parse

I mean it is unironically very difficult to parse if you're actually raid leading in a remotely useful way

trim cairn

How good are you at leading if you can't reliably communicate your core strategy

do we always just immediately press envenom at 5 cp or is it better to last second chain to keep energy up permanently

balmy condor
#

you press on 5

#

the uptime is already near infinite without waiting for the last second

boreal mist
#

is that also the case in m+ on bosses? seem to be running out of energy so think i may be the big R word

coral ibex
#

no, running out of energy is by design

balmy condor
#

running out of energy is the default

#

you still have infinite envenom uptime though

#

envenom duration is just

#

dummy long

boreal mist
#

just seem to be running out of energy to keep going to max of apex then dropping it

balmy condor

that's fine

worn geyser
#

is crit the best buff for us to take in algethar or how does that specific buff work, it just adds flat 3% crit rate right? so doesnt matter if i have 50 crit or 1200?

storm forum
#

yeah it's 3% regardless of rating

#

technically vers is the most effecient in that way

#

and haste is the worst

#

actually dont quote me on the haste i dont remember

worn geyser
#

interesting, ive never taken the vers one, does it give proportionally alot more? I think mast gives 5% flat right

storm forum
#

mast buff gives 1111 mastery or something

#

cause all mast %s are different depending on spec

#

so they cant do the flat %

worn geyser
#

that seems pretty good

#

ill try out the vers one tho ty goat

haughty flicker

watch whispyr stream for first time in forever and get called weird

dont quote me on that exact amount of mastery either

haughty flicker

latent kernel
#

Best buff depends on your current secondary stat distribution if being really technical about it, stats gain and lose value depending on how much you currently have of them, so if you’re super capped on crit something else might be better etc…

regal sable
#

best buff is haste/crit because theyre right at the start and u dont have to walk as far

#

gg

latent kernel
#

This is the answer^^

storm forum
#

haste for the haste gods

#

3% haste is 3% more envenoms per minute or something

haughty flicker
#

me grabbing vers because its the one right at the ramp to the pull anyway

regal sable
#

me grabbing the healing buff because i died on bird boss and its the only one u walk past for the rest of the dungeon

worn geyser
#

true it is more complicated than just % amounts but i feel u, if vers was competitive could be good to take cause the crawth boss fucks on higher keys

storm forum
#

yeah just cause vers gives "the most stat points" if you convert % to points, doesnt mean its gonna give you the most damage

#

haste is definitely the wrong choice for me but it gives me the most whimsy

haughty flicker
#

this is all significantly more thought than ive ever put into the choice

I has so much whimsy at the start of SL

then assa was unplayably bad week one

and then once we got buffed to a reasonable state my guild fell apart

oak tangle
clear ingot
#

it goes off your highest secondary stat

#

i.e if you pop it pre puzzle box it will give crit

#

after puzzle box it gives mastery

right, so i'm just confused why you say you don't know how to change it, it likely updates on the fly no?

solar wyvern

No u hit mastery DR too fast

#

Lights pot wins

clear ingot
#

well the sim always just pops the pot pre puzzle box

#

not sure how to get it to pop it after puzzle box so i can sim mastery

#

i've seen a lot of very good logs with recklessness so just curious

balmy condor

it does it pre puzzle because it's better than post puzzle

i see, i imagine whispyrino has worked all that out already

balmy condor
#

reckless is like -1.5% as is

#

after box its like -2%

clear ingot
#

yea ok tysm

solar wyvern
#

Agility gud

oak tangle
#

as for how you would do it, you gotta get a hold of the APL and shift the pot lower down

balmy condor
#

you'd add a conditional for the potion to just say &buff.puzzle_box.up

barren yarrow
#

@balmy condor do you have any suggestions on vids that teach you how to advance sim?

balmy condor
#

depends what you're trying to advanced sim I guess

oak tangle
#

need some goated coder to make a node like version of apl so i can just type simple names

balmy condor
#

raidbots has built-in syntax and autocomplete now on the text editor

#

it's pretty neat

fresh kelp
#

very nice change

oak tangle
#

are you able to run sims locally on your own pc

balmy condor
#

yeah but idk why you would

#

it's just more effort and slower

oak tangle
#

blast it on the uni mega pc

spice sentinel
#

whispyr

#

plz fix ass

#

ty

balmy condor
#

you know how I run those?

#

I fucking send it over to raidbots servers

#

cause simming it locally

#

would be miserable

barren yarrow
balmy condor
#

oh that's just a droptimizer

#

like you sim m+ dungeons

oak tangle
balmy condor
#

sort by expected value

#

and you just go from the top down

barren yarrow
#

ok word

balmy condor
#

even a giga top of the line super pc you have at home

#

is gonna take 5x as long

oak tangle
balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but that's what I'm saying

#

even if you could take raidbots GUI

#

and you could skip all that leg work that top gear or whatever does

native heron
#

how much should i trust sims when its telling to use crit/ver crit/mastery rings instead of my her void ring and champ light ring?

balmy condor
#

the queue time + the sim time on the servers

#

is still miles faster than simming it locally

#

none of the theorycrafters sim anything locally anymore

#

it's simply not viable to do so

oak tangle
#

inb4 someone pipes up with "i run a threadripper"

#

but yeah getcha

balmy condor
#

also the set bonus blows fucking ass

#

so that's not surprising to me

native heron
#

roger. jut my haste is at 16% now

balmy condor
#

champ light ring probably loses to like 8 different rings

#

16% sounds like a lot

#

probably also makes sense

native heron
#

oh foreal? lol!

#

i been trying to get to 25% o.O im dumb af

balmy condor
#

are you in the wrong channel by chance

#

this is assassination

native heron
#

nope im not. lol

balmy condor

oh

well I'm out of excuses for you then idk

Hope you have a good night!

balmy condor

balmy condor

or you have like a demon hunter submitting dev and havoc

and they're agi/int differently

#

I had to make

this fucking ugly thing

cunning needle
balmy condor
#

and then in order to add it properly right

#

now I have to check

#

against that list

#

its actually so gross

#

I'm sure there's a better way

cunning needle
balmy condor
#

but just

#

it's rancid

#

this is some of the worst code I've written

cunning needle
#

okay

balmy condor
#

but it works

cunning needle
#

i get the reason why you have to do that

balmy condor
#

so I just pretend the horrors do not exist

cunning needle
#

and i get the reason why you made it like that

#

and i understand what that is happening

regal sable
#

this is u on 6 months of feet

cunning needle
#

but like

#

have you considered therapy?

balmy condor
#

but it's really cool

#

I one button sim my entire guild

#

and it sorts by tier token

#

and by trinket

oak tangle
#

can i join your guild for free sims

balmy condor
#

my guild doesn't get my sims

#

I sim

oak tangle
#

not even monetary reasons, jsut purely so i dont even have to sim

cunning needle
#

you know.... im pretty sure this is how ulria started his sheet

#

actual harvey dent moment right here

balmy condor
#

and the sheet is only slightly awful

#

but it's okay

#

cause I just import the CSV

#

and all of that works too

regal sable
#

all of this to assign bonus rolls

balmy condor
cunning needle
#

you either die a hero or live long enough to make your own cross class/spec simulation spreadsheet

balmy condor
#

and it's good for early tier

oak tangle
#

i'm playing windwalker, our raid asked who should get PI, i said it's good on WW, raid leader said i thought monks hate haste, i didn't get PI, and yeah..

#

this crazy style organisation

balmy condor
#

we don't even follow it like one to one

#

but it's good to have

#

so we can be like

#

yeh ele tier is huge

#

enhance is tiny

#

sub tier big, assa isn't

#

how likely is it whispyr's playing sub

#

should we give him tier

#

etc

regal sable
#

thats cool but u ever try equipping world quest trinkets to make raid ones a bigger % increase

#

easiest gaze of my life....

balmy condor
#

because I'm the one running the sims, I can also see when that happens

#

it happened this tier actually

regal sable
#

you're also in prime position to do it

balmy condor
#

someone tried to sandbag their droptimizer

#

and I went "that's not +4k"

fallow canopy
#

that's evil lmao

balmy condor
#

it was a trial and they failed

#

it's fine

#

but still

#

also I'm not the only loot council

oak tangle
#

rouuuuuuuuuugh

#

but also what a fuckin idiot

fallow canopy
regal sable
#

i like the confidence to do that on trial

balmy condor
#

the other funny one is like

#

3 mages

#

I sim the first 2

#

and gaze is like +1500 or +1600

cunning needle
#

lmao what an absolute rat

balmy condor
#

and then I sim the third

#

and it's +2500

#

and I go "hmmmmm"

fresh kelp
#

I am glad to not be required to submit specific sim numbers this tier with the haste breakpoint stuff with sub

balmy condor
#

(he just had unlucky trinket drops he didn't sandbag)

balmy condor
#

we don't do this for like

#

random fuckass belts

fresh kelp
#

there have been other tiers it was standard for us to give a number for most items

regal sable
#

wait haste breakpoints are so op

balmy condor
#

yeh, that's a standard we have as well

fresh kelp
#

I really cba explaining that I need to do a full top gear for everything

regal sable
#

gemming and enchanting wrong to sandbag for haste trinkets

fresh kelp
#

And droptimizer don’t work

balmy condor
#

but if it's a breakpoint thing we understand

#

and they just go "idk breakpoint but it's really good"

#

and we're like yah fair, don't mind giving it to that guy

solar wyvern
#

The only thing ive put bis and put a note on was guidon where i slammed "OOGA BALUGA YUN YUM YIM"

fresh kelp

Ye similar

balmy condor
#

we have people note every drop

fresh kelp

The rest I just put note “my class sucks” so if they give it to me they know what they’re getting into

how long do we think cloud cover survives

fresh kelp
#

isn’t the amp fake news

balmy condor
#

a week?

barren yarrow
#

a week tops lol

#

i read that and got a headache

waxen oyster
#

ngl outlaw having 15% dr

#

for 60% uptime

fresh kelp
#

it heals or something after p2 so effectively p3 isn’t even an amp

fallow canopy
waxen oyster

sounds wild

solar wyvern
#

So having more in that period of time is still valuable

fallow canopy
#

I'm kinda tempted to play outlaw but I'd be so rusty I'm definitely gonna grief insanely hard

fresh kelp
#

The way it was explained to me it isn’t actually an amp because damage earlier in the fight ends up being double value as well

balmy condor
#

that's intended surely

fallow canopy
#

Surely

balmy condor
#

why wouldn't a random node just triple the entire tree

#

makes sense to me

fresh kelp
balmy condor
#

guy ain't got shit on me

#

I'll just tell him to go rewrite his guide

#

and if he doesn't I fire his ass

fresh kelp
#

he was not pleased when I made this point

balmy condor
#

got that boytoy on a leash

#

I love guy

#

why was he not pleased

#

is that not whats happening

fresh kelp
#

He fully believes it is intended and we need to stop predooming about “nerfs”

#

and that the interactions are in fact, completely normal

balmy condor
#

I see

fresh kelp
#

And if they were to even fix it, that there would be plentiful compensation buffs for such an event

waxen oyster
balmy condor
#

I mean, I can get behind the "stop pre-dooming"

#

the doom in here is miserable whenever anything happens

fresh kelp
#

I mean I think the most likely outcome is that they just fix it

balmy condor
#

but it is a funny meme

fresh kelp
#

Compensation seems wack

balmy condor
#

I think it's kind of insane to think this is intended though

fresh kelp
#

Is good content

solar wyvern
#

150% crit surely intended

bright turret
#

be silly to axe it when it won't even make rogue close to OP

solar wyvern
#

Smile

fallow canopy
balmy condor
#

like hypothetically right

#

lets say mutilate/fan of knives was 40% of our damage dealt

#

same overall damage, but generators at the top

#

that's clearly a problem right

#

this is the same thing

bright turret
#

I'm not disagreeing it's very silly and definitely not intended, but Blizzard tuning is...chaotic

fresh kelp
cunning needle
balmy condor
#

it is very chaotic of late, that's for sure

cunning needle
#

ahhh

bright turret
#

cloud cover will propel rogue up, but they'll still be behind a bunch of range

cunning needle
#

yes

#

okay now i see

fresh kelp
#

The dr too!

bright turret
#

just dont see it catching blizz's radar

cunning needle
#

100% intended

bright turret
#

probably get changed later again

cunning needle
#

so that means this is 9%

balmy condor
#

yes

cunning needle
#

okay thank you

fallow canopy
bright turret
#

would like to see sin get a little love after it falls behind though

fresh kelp
#

The total fazed amp goes from 8 to 24% and then the crit damage too and the dr gets tripled

balmy condor
#

150% crit damage on shadow strike

kinda weird!

ill re read your guide. I cant remember why lol.

balmy condor

I mean you do vanish for imp gar

but there's not a timing to do so really

as long as you have it during deathmark or whatever it's chill

imp gar is kinda whatever these days

barren yarrow

ah ok

Anything for assa this patch or it's gg?

balmy condor

we are not getting a buff

barren yarrow

you still get the new upgrade and bad luck protection systems

so patch makes everyone stronger

hexed frost

but some are more stronger than others fuu

golden loom

And assa is totally fine?

vestal wren
#

Hard to say, its more that assasssination is currently the best option

#

but the patch does not buff it

#

so sub/outlaw get ahead

my friend whos playing sin wants to know why does his envenoms sometimes crit for over 100k and other times his crits dont hit for much

Welcome to 12.0.5

Hiya, here's a compiled short list of the 12.0.5 things to keep a note of:

Cloud Cover? Trickster? Sub? Outlaw?

Yes, Sub and Outlaw both got insane buffs with the trickster changes. We did not get any buff. We are still fine, in high keys we provide much more prio damage than sub. Outlaw might be better in keys, but we're still totally fine. In raids, the balance seems to be roughly the same. If you played sub before, it's still good. If you played sin before, it's still good.

Bonus Rolls

Mythic+ costs 1 roll, Raid costs 2, making mythic+ rolls much better. If you don't know what you're supposed to be bonus rolling, do NOT bonus roll raid items.

  1. Pit of Saron (Dagger + generic items)
  2. Algethar (puzzle box + generic items)
  3. Skyreach (If you don't raid, has more decent items + dagger and a second trinket)
  4. Mythic Chimareus for Alnseer (or Mythic Beloren for plume if you want)
  5. Doesn't matter, roll for whatever you want (don't roll for hero gear, 10's are very doable)

Realistically you will be in Pit of Saron prison for a while if you're wanting to be efficient. You can of course go and get your puzzle box first, especially if you are getting most of your myth items from raid, but algethar has "bad" items that you can roll, where are basically everything from Pit of Saron is great.

Voidcore Upgrades

THIS IS NOT ACTIVE FOR ANOTHER FOUR WEEKS
You can get +9 item levels on a Max Hero/Myth Item, or +10 on a myth crafted item (weapon/trinket only). You should generally never use these on Hero items, especially with the bonus roll system.

  1. Main hand dagger (doesn't matter which dagger, any 6/6 myth dagger works)
  2. Puzzle Box (good trinket yep)
  3. Gaze (or plume, good trinket yep)
  4. Crafted offhand dagger (what else are you going to use it on)

Spec Changes

Nope.

  • There's a new button for deathstalker to move the mark around. It's obviously worth using if you're in a situation where the mark is off in a different country, but deathstalker itself still sucks. If you really must play Deathstalker, you would want to snipe dying targets if you have 2-3 stacks of the mark still, in order to move the mark and instantly get a darkest night. This is super degenerate, hard to execute, requires a lot of brain power, and the dps gain is incredibly hard to nail down. This does NOT make deathstalker better than fatebound. You should still play fatebound everywhere.
  • The new deathmark-jumping talent negotiable contract is entirely non-negotiable. This talent is arguably the worst DPS talent ever added to Assassination. Not only is it genuinely terrible on its own, it's also on a choice node with finish the job (10% all damage during deathmark), which is genuinely a really good talent. I don't think anyone can make an argument for why this exists.
  • AoE blind is back! We were already taking airborne irritant though, for the blind CDR so nothing really changes
  • Sanguine Vial is actually pretty decent, except for one problem. When you DEAL THE KILLING BLOW. That is very important, and kills the talents viability in Raid, makes it pretty awful in mythic+ (although you can get a lot of killing blows with sudden demise if you swing that way). Where this talent shines is for the open world/delvers out there. Probably won't see much use outside of that.

Sudden demise gamers rise

#

Now we heal

hexed frost
#

man those 47M demise pops in TWW S2 used to hit different man. Palas and mages were always malding because the big adds used to drop dead from 30% HP before they could finish their CDs

#

Good times

rugged basalt
#

Sudden demise to guarantee sanguine vial it’s pretty trivial actually clueless

#

What ilvl does a hero track item upgrade to?

#

Oh 9

runic hinge
rugged basalt
#

Chimaerus cage into pit prison into algethar academy I guess

golden loom
#

im just gonna get gaze from vault tmrw and then first roll puzzlebox garf

zinc frost

At least with pit prison or algethar prison you have a rough time frame of when you get released garf

#

dafuq everything in pit is crit haste

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

I think nexus point has no less than 7 bis items for shadow priest

normal mist
#

O.o

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it's insanity

#

two rings are set and crit/haste and hast/mast, the staff is haste/mast

You can get 3 tier slots, cloth hands are crit/vers (cata'd to haste/vers), the legs are crit/vers (cata'd to haste/mast), the shoulders are haste/mast

#

so realistically with haste being the best stat

#

everything in there has haste or can be cata'd into haste

#

the back piece is mast/vers, and I don't think the cata can save that one

#

but it's fucking bonkers

golden loom
#

atleast rolling a gaze shouldnt be too hard garf

balmy condor
#

I think for clothies, maisara caverns is all crit as well

old obsidian
#

then in saron we got dagger, neck, ring and belt?

#

then academy? for trinket?

spring needle
#

Progging dragons atm, anyone that know a way to make an addon scream at you if you are targeted for breath? 🌬️ Or make BW scream even harder, e.g. with custom sound for example?

golden loom
#

pit of saron for me is like only the ring Sadge

balmy condor
#

yeah for us the dagger is crit/haste, the neck is crit/haste, the ring is crit/haste, the back is crit/vers, the wrists are crit/haste, the belt is crit/haste, and there's legs

#

which are haste/mast but you can cata if you don't have myth tier

#

legit every item is usable

balmy condor
old obsidian
#

I've had "bad luck". I have everything Biss but Hero, I have over 300 unused mythic badges D:

deft vault
#

We get 2 bonus roll token tmrw?

#

+300

balmy condor
#

although it's kinda unclear what we get tomorrow

rugged basalt
#

If your luck is utter dogwater in gv then you get 3 a week garf_sit

balmy condor
#

like maybe there's a prequest or something

#

and we don't get it until next week

#

but the PTR actually fucking blows

#

so no one has any idea

rugged basalt
#

Honestly I think it’ll be flavor text conversation

#

Augh..me balls…do like idk an LFR…more balls…

#

If he asks me to help him with crafting again I’ll beat his ass personally

flint tusk
#

In before lazy people complaining they didn’t do Decimus’s weekly so don’t get bonus rolls

old obsidian
#

So is getting that dagger in Saron better than upgrading the one from the second boss in Void?

shy heron
rugged basalt
#

With tunneling into crit/haste sure, but sims may differ based on other equipped gear. The agi jump is far more of a focus anyway imo

shy heron
#

I think it's specifically under private auras though

golden loom
#

max ilvl dagger is max ilvl dagger

rugged basalt
#

I feel like the alert sound it gives when you have to walk out of tether, gloom, or run out of breath are like the only things you’d need to listen out for though, no?

so crafted myth weapon will be worse than original myth?

after upgrade I mean

@balmy condor u reckon theyll buff asa with the buffs coming to outlaw/sub?

balmy condor
balmy condor
keen raven
#

lmao so u think theyll just nerf the sub/outlaw changes?

deft vault
#

I mean have you seen how bonkers that talent is lol

keen raven
#

honestly i wish they gave energy restore back on mob deaths

#

that felt so good

keen raven
#

rogues like midpack

deft vault
#

Gotta be in contention for one of the strongest single node in the game no?

balmy condor
deft vault
#

Yeah sure rogue is mid but theres a better way to buff them then to make one random ass talents give like 20% dmg

keen raven
#

oh i mean i agree 100%

#

the changes to rogue have been omega lazy

#

even if they made rogue top omega bis

#

the class still feels awful to play

balmy condor
#

ah yes, my 14 talent point hero talent tree is worth a total of 11%, except if I swap this innocuous talent randomly now it's 25%

#

this is completely reasonable and intended

#

surely

deft vault
#

Whats the general public opinion on how assa design/feel?

rugged basalt
#

Shirley they hot nerf it

keen raven
#

in huge packs its fine

#

but anything else

shell plaza
#

i like how assa feels

balmy condor
#

yeah... that about sums it up

keen raven
#

i feel like im a target dummy waiting for energy

rugged basalt
#

I’m biased. Starving occasionally. Feels nice otherwise

balmy condor
#

"energy starved and dogshit"
immediately followed by
"this is great I love it"

keen raven
#

it feels awful

rugged basalt
#

It’s over (5 seconds) we’re so back

shell plaza
#

feels great

balmy condor
#

basically the public consensus is the same as its been for the last decade

#

there is no consensus

#

and people who hate it hate it

#

and people who like it like it

shell plaza
#

real

keen raven
#

eh
