and then it makes ur 2mins on a longer cd for the rest of the dung

#

i did 270k in last mt in 21

#

asa brr

dim yacht
#

prob better to send it on the pyromancer than boss though, no?

#

pyro prio?

keen raven
#

na

#

you should just be cleaving pyro

#

naturally

dim yacht
#

really? does it not live quite a while if you do that

keen raven
#

more funnel

#

usually dies after first down

dim yacht
#

yeah, just that constant dot hurts. but ifhealer can handle it yeah

#

makes sense

keen raven
#

i mean its only ignition cast

#

u just feint/evasion or cloak

#

i usually cloak the ball phase with ignition cast

#

only scary part

dim yacht
#

yeah, thats what i do too. its not me im worried about

#

dps and healer both died to it lol

keen raven
#

bad healer then :p

dim yacht
#

could very well be

#

same key level too, 21

keen raven
#

but they prob just didnt press a defensive and soaked a ball

#

with the ignition tick

dim yacht
#

healer death was to wyrm explosions + ignition, dps was knockback + ignition

#

after refuel

keen raven
#

uh

#

shouldnt be getting another knockback/ignition

unique nymph
#

how do these buffs feel boys? is deathstalker gonna be played?

keen raven
dim yacht
keen raven
#

sry daddy @balmy condor i just wana clarify #s to make sure i understand

lets say i do 10m to a prio target in a 5 pack cleave
youre saying next week deathstalker would do 13m in a 5 target to the 1 prio target

keen raven
#

asa feels amazing in mt

pliant falcon
#

Are the new deathstalker changes relevant in any capacity? Ig its still a dead hero talent choice

dim yacht
#

my personal issue is nobody ever wants to take the energy crystals

#

then i take the one in hallway for the big hero pull

#

then get holy fire + glaive and have to cloak

#

and bye bye crystal buff lol

#

every key i ask if someone wants to take em, someone says they will and then they never do

#

i ping it, gets ignored

keen raven
#

i mean its only 10%

#

isnt the biggest deal

#

i dont even try to get it im worried ab gettin 1 shot XD

dim yacht
#

i just wish someone would grab it T_T

#

more dps = less time having to heal through 2 spellbreakers

keen raven
#

u could also argue the 10% prob is relatively close to u losing the globals

#

XD

dim yacht
#

if you pick it up before sending CDs? i dunno about that

keen raven
#

i actually dont cd that pack

dim yacht
#

really? you just send it on pack before? i find usually i have all cds on the pack before it, and i send KB and hold deathmark for the next to burn it faster

keen raven
#

yea i send it onm the trio mobs because it takes so long

#

and it makes ur 2min align at start/end of kill for the future bosses

#

which for me i find more important

#

i do 100k on 2nd boss and did 270k on 3rd

dim yacht
#

yeah i could see that

keen raven
#

just depends on ur group/what u need

dim yacht
#

yeah for sure

shell crater
#

Oooo death stalker buffs

#

Do we finally see the return of deathstalker?

are you mentally okay?

viscid spear
#

Am I reading Whispyr's pin right, Deathstalker still isn't beating Fatebound?
Peepers

dim yacht
#

probably would if you did the sweaty strat

#

but its not very practical at all in keys

keen raven
#

i just wana know if our prio dam actually goes up 30%

#

like if we do 10m to a prio targ do we do 13m now

dire flume
#

In aoe supposedly

#

But st stinky

iron thorn
#

still 2% behind in ST

#

the 1% in keys is scary tho

#

because funnel might just be better in some places

spare kayak
#

What's the usual stat distribution for m+ for ds?

iron thorn
#

doesnt change much from what i heard yday

spare kayak
#

Maybe a tad less haste I'd guess

iron thorn
#

maybe mastery bit better than haste, but still crit >>>>>

solar wyvern

rugged adder
#

probably asked but, will deathstalker be playable now after the buffs?

solar wyvern
#

I can see ds in pit maisara

#

I think magi is probs just fb or outlaw tho

#

Too many small pulls in the first half

open mantle
#

is the buffs for assa good

#

is it a deathstalker angle

trim cairn
open mantle
#

i rlly wish it was a huge buff because for sub its a crazy buff for raid

#

best single build now

sharp viper
#

Deathstalker usef to be very problematic in raif fights with swaps

#

People arr rightfully traumatized

spare kayak
#

dont have the lura+aleria haste jewelery tho

open mantle
#

just craft engi stuff get haste mastery neck if u have or ring

#

if u havent crafted

#

its rlly easy to switch and farm m+ stat haste gear

#

having guidon is also nice

spare kayak
#

guidon for assa? this would feel criminal

#

does SD damage funnel with DS?

#

is there some insane cursed tech here for first pull/boss AA?

Question about Thistle tea. Do I blow my charges as often as I get them? I usually save them all as a "oops I didn't manage my energy right " accident protection

severe meadow
#

Take it off your bar and not worry about it

storm forum
#

they don't give stats any more so we just let tea auto proc now

#

I think of them as badluck protection, sometimes you highroll with giga crits and sit on 2-3 stacks for a while, sometimes you need 2 charges to get a full 80 stack on apex

#

Deathstalker was better before by a fair margin, it is now better by a slightly bigger margin

Hello! I'm playing Rogue for the first time. Wanted to play Assassination rogue cause poisons/vibe looks cool and my friend told me it's the more zug zug spec of the bunch (I main Fury Warrior, and Prot Paladin) and I'm wondering what I should be focusing on rotationally. I'm only level 14 but it hasn't really clicked for me what I should be doing rotationally.

Like when do I want to use Shiv? Do I use Garrote and then Rupture for opening attack? I know I'm really early in leveling so the gameplay of the spec hasn't actually opened up but I don't want to develop any rotational bad habits so I would love some clarity on what I should do!

#

(tbh I'm kinda glad it is? Deathstalker isn't ignored because its damage is bad, it's ignored because its core mechanic is inherently obnoxious as all goddamn hell and everyone hates the way it works ^^' They could give it +400% damage and I'd still not be sure I wanna deal with it >.>)

golden loom
#

Slice and dice is also automatically applied when casting envenom so before that I guess u need to press it yourself, but lvl 14 doesnt really have much in terms of retail gameplay 😄

golden loom
spark warren
#

... fair. Tho ngl after playing DS last season, I do not want to ever have to deal with it ever again for any reason, and I just don't care about the damage. xD
If that means I'd be "stuck" in +18s instead of +20s, so be it 🥲

storm forum
golden loom
#

But Outlaw is much more Fury Warrior-esque if that is what you were looking for tbh

wispy bison
#

Sorry if this is a stupid question but do yall manually drop envenom buff or do you wait it out ?

golden loom
#

manually as in cancel auraing or something?

wispy bison
#

yea

golden loom
#

nah you wait it out

okay! thanks

I have a question, is live-reading the combatlog to provide analytics against the TOS? I am really into this idea of creating a script that tells me how many adds still need bleeds

Do diminishing returns points for secondary stats rise as major patches come out or are they stay the same the whole expansion?

buoyant herald
#

They stay the same

waxen oyster
#

Kind of why you saw some specs in s3 last expac go for stats they normally don't.

#

Purely because hitting drs on their better ones

buoyant herald

Yeah I remember late s3 i was equipping a quite bit of vers gear

We’re not even a t500 guild

does anyone know why on the second log for Assa in Vorasius, hes using shiv often?

runic hinge
#

link it, i gotta see this shit

stuck lodge
#

Without looking my guess would be to cheaply go from 4 cp to 5

#

which is an important breakpoint

balmy condor
#

OmegaLUL timing wise it looks like kb muscle memory

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Using it to go from 4cp to 5cp would be crazy though

#

I hope that’s not what he’s doing

lone pasture
#

virgins?

stuck lodge
#

Yeah, I wondered if that was ever a good use, sometimes you are energy starved and your mut/fok only gets you to 4

balmy condor
#

It’s awful

#

Like it’s just a full waste

stuck lodge
#

isn't it fairly cheap with the talent though? Something like 15 energy or whatever

balmy condor
#

Yeah cheap and zero damage

stuck lodge
#

Sure, but might let you push into the 80 stack of implac rather than dropping it

balmy condor
#

Okay?

#

What’s that matter

stuck lodge
#

Could be very wrong, just a thought I had

fallow canopy
#

its too late Big Shiv got to him

#

its over

balmy condor
#

If you can’t get to 80 you just drop that’s fine

stuck lodge
#

It would also let you chain exactly 1 more envenom in this hypothetical situation

balmy condor
#

Sure

#

Or you’d chain that same envenom later Shruge

stuck lodge
#

Yeah

#

maybe in like a dmg amp window or something

#

but its pretty niche

balmy condor
#

On Vorasius, right

balmy condor
#

Think about it like this right

#

On deathstalker, it’s 0.3% to shiv from 6cp to 7cp, if you have 3 or less targets, if you have a darkest night

radiant otter
#

he only casts it 3 times so its not exactly a lot

#

and it looks like he's trying to squeeze in a finisher before deathmark falls?

rancid anvil
#

I read earlier someone saying that deathstalker would be good for funnel. Is there even a fight in s1 raids that you'd take deathstalker over fatebound for this reason?

stuck lodge
#

Sure, so the dmg amp could be DM I guess

balmy condor
#

So if you know that your next envenom is going to crit, AND be giga amped, AND your mutilate was going to overcap cd guaranteed

stuck lodge
#

but yeah, its probably not like great

balmy condor
#

Then it’s 0.3%

radiant otter
#

or envenom falling off and low energy trying to keep buff up before his dm

balmy condor
#

So when would it ever be good on fatebound

stuck lodge
#

Idk, but the rank 2 guy used it 3 times more than me

balmy condor
#

Yeah and the rank 2 guy is an idiot for that

fallow canopy
radiant otter
#

the could be rank 1 guy

reef wagon
#

it's like the old saying "rank 2 is doodoo"

stuck lodge
#

Maybe if he pressed shiv more he would be rank 1

balmy condor
#

There is an objectively correct answer to this

#

That has already been looked into and theorized

radiant otter
#

shiv at 4 and low energy to prevent envenom buff downtime could certainly be a feelsgood way to use it even if it's not

balmy condor
#

This the shit that pisses me off about the game cause parses are actually just fucking clown shit

#

I have like 4 rank 1’s this season

#

Fucking why

#

I’m a dumbfuck

stuck lodge
#

It would definitely make me feel smart, even as I objectively lower my dps in doing so

strange wolf
#

10% skill 90% rng

balmy condor
#

There is no reason why I should have that many rank 1’s

strange wolf
#

but that 10% skill put you way ahead of most players

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

But its second nature to assa rogues to just invent min-maxes that don’t exist

#

Such is life I guess

strange wolf
#

IMO everybody that can reach top like 90 parses all have the potential to reach rank 1 this tier cause of how bad the mechanic scaling is this tier

balmy condor
#

A tale as old as time

stuck lodge
#

We don't really have that many buttons or things to do

#

gotta hyper optimize ourselves into problems

balmy condor
#

Even when we did, people were just coming up with the silliest things

#

vorasius mechanics. ALR DID YOU GET LUCKY ON ADDS TIMER? YES HUGE

stuck lodge
#

getting adds first is cringe, all my homies get adds last

strange wolf
#

Honestly

balmy condor
#

I’ve spent time in my life telling someone that there is not a difference between

  1. mut
  2. Ambush
    And
  3. Ambush
  4. Mut
strange wolf
#

i am a shit player

#

but i got a 95 on vorasius

#

like i am actual dogshit

balmy condor
#

Because he could not understand why it said mut first and I went “yeah you’re right, I should delete the ambush line” and he went fucking feral

#

Cause he was screaming about the sim losing 0.1% because the order on mut and ambush was wrong

strange wolf
balmy condor
#

EVEN THOUGH IT CANT FUCKING CAST MUT IF IT HAS BLINDSIDE

#

ITS NOT POSSIBLE

“But it’s lower dps”

aha ill check thx

wtf why nerf aeo :p sad

coral pivot
#

There are no rogue nerfs

#

They buffed Deathstalker, but it is still worse than Fatebound in everything

#

Except, if there are a lot of mobs. You can absolutely annihilate a prio target

novel dock
#

oh right. just fatebound good

you uninstall plater

the game removes those by default

Does Dungeon Slice sim work good for sin rogue or should I be simming Patchwerk? Also, how much dmg am I leaving on the table if I do not use Improved Garrote?

balmy condor
#

dungeonslice is good

#

improved garrote is like a 5-6% overall damage in a dungeon

lilac saffron
#

alright, since I got you here, maybe I could ask another question: So the sim says 140k DPS, per dungeon I am averaging around 110-120k, am I doing good or should I be sweating a bit more

balmy condor
#

dungeonslice is not an indicator of the damage you should be doing

#

too dependant on the key

lilac saffron
#

ah okay, so maybe better to check logs and see where I land?

balmy condor
#

I think best indicator is just how you're doing in relation to the people you're queuing with

We are safe from playing deathstalker but its 30% better then fatebound?

buoyant herald
#

here we go

balmy condor
#

30% higher prio

#

not 30% better

coral pivot
foggy fog
#

so better for raid>?

coral pivot
#

So Vordaza in Maisara Caverns would get slaughtered

balmy condor
#

no, worse in raid

#

prio damage in aoe

#

deathstalker is funnel

#

you do not run into that situation in raid

coral pivot
#

Next season we get a Zul Myth Uldir style boss

#

And we get to play Deathstalker assa

#

Full zerg

balmy condor
#

for the record it was already like 24%? better in prio before the tuning

#

23%?

balmy condor
#

the tldr is if you played deathstalker for some reason before the tuning, you are happy and will continue to play it

#

if you didn't play deathstalker, which you shouldn't have, then you still won't

#

and if you're like a giga m+ pusher then maybe you cope about the funnel in some instances that you should've realistically would've been coping about already

#

or you play sub, those guys love deathstalker

mortal crag
#

How dare you

balmy condor
#

where's your 1100 haste set sir

mortal crag
#

In the bin with puzzle box

balmy condor
#

damn, not having 1100 haste in sub deathstalker era

#

didn't realize it was fucking casual hour in ravenholdt

#

unreal

mortal crag
#

6% ain’t enough to get me to learn nuthn

balmy condor
#

honestly

#

that's based

#

more people need to think like that

#

instead of chasing the 0.01%

#

respect that

sage cosmos
#

Or try it out and see if the playstyle of deathstalker is more fun to play for you and enjoy the video game your way unlike the majority of people aPES_Sip

balmy condor
#

if I told a new rogue to try deathstalker I think they would uninstall the game

mortal crag
#

It’s a big investment for something that didn’t play

#

Plus it’s not good for 80% of the content I do so

#

It’s kinda not worth bothering with for me

rotund oak
#

the right mindset^^

balmy condor
#

genuinely trying to think of something more universally hated than deathstalker

#

and kinda coming up short

#

exsang?

#

mover havoc?

mortal crag
#

I also feel trying to learn to switch between the two styles of dance will eat into any 6% gain i could make

rotund oak
#

practically biochemical warfare

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean out of wow you can score some pretty universal hatred

rotund oak
#

yeah then warlock

#

coz f@ck them

#

not allowed to live

#

and dh

#

F@ck them as well

balmy condor
#

don't think anyone is sitting there like "yeah you know the working conditions of cocoa plantations is actually great I love it"

sage cosmos
#

But if somebody asks genuinely if something is viable and doesn't know how to navigate to pins, why shoot them down instead of encouraging them to explore it?

balmy condor
#

we didn't?

nova dome
# balmy condor exsang?

it was really funny for the first month or so of legion where it was 400% faster though lmao

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

I think the main problem honestly was the snapshotting and the deathmark stuff

#

which somehow they managed to avoid with skullsplitter on arms

#

but kept on exsang

vernal adder
balmy condor
#

cause they hate us I guess

#

same effect just 30x more jank and unintuitive on rogue

nova dome
#

that's just the rogue classic

balmy condor
#

a bit annoying

#

cause like, exsang as an effect CAN work

#

you just have to be really careful about it

#

and they were both not careful about it

#

and then also didn't care to iterate

#

and just kinda fiddled with numbers and cd and shit and then got rid of it

#

which like, yeah

#

it's good that it's gone

#

but if it wasn't the thing that it was, it would've been fine

nova dome
#

yeah, I liked it a lot back with vendetta, but then they completely broke it in DF and it became unfun and had very toxic gameplay

balmy condor
#

even with vendetta is was kinda questionable honestly

#

like in bfa that shit was giga toxic too

#

but people only remember haha press button infinite energy burst number go up brrrrrrr

rotund oak
#

yeah lots of stuff clashing^^

balmy condor
#

oh yeah just stand in this tiny circle on the ground for the haste buff when you press exsang

#

makes sense

#

and if you aren't in the tiny circle then you're BAD

#

and your parse is GONE

#

and you should FEEL BAD

nova dome
#

was that an azerite power or something? I didn't play much BFA

balmy condor
#

there was an on-use haste trinket

#

but it spawned a tiny rune on the ground

#

and you only got haste if you were in it

#

but we played giga haste corruptions

rotund oak
#

yeah the boon trinket

balmy condor
#

so we had like 90%+ haste

#

during lust up to like 150%

#

and you eventually hit a haste breakpoint where you had to talent CT and press that in single target too

#

because it just outscaled poison bomb

rotund oak
#

bleeds ticking like 8-9 times a second

#

was rly fun

balmy condor
#

I mean it was ticking once ever 0.8ish seconds during lust

#

but yeah close enough

vernal adder
#

Is poison bomb still rng? I got ridic rank in nighthold cause of bomb rng

balmy condor
#

1.2 times, 8-9 times

#

same shit

balmy condor
spice surge
#

More bleeds less poisons next patch prayge

rotund oak
vernal adder
#

exang eleem

rotund oak
#

exeleem

balmy condor
#

next tier gonna be some shit like your bleeds deal a gorillion % extra damage to poisoned targets

#

and we're all gonna clap

#

only the 8th time they've done a tier set like that in 3 expansions

vernal adder
#

or some random shite nobody asked for

spice surge
rotund oak
#

we get an aura buff 3 months later

balmy condor
#

if season 2 tier sets are just "you deal 5% more damage always and the 4 set makes it 10%"

vernal adder
balmy condor
#

I might actually fry the fuck out

rotund oak
spice surge
#

But yeah it's not season 3 so there won't be any insano tiers probably

balmy condor
#

they have so much space in the class rotation now

#

to actually do interesting things

#

and I guarantee you they will not

#

or they'll be like "we're trying something new this season

vernal adder
#

depends what claude says

balmy condor
#

and then never do anything with it

#

"oh this is just a test, and if it goes well, we'll iterate on it and make it better!" and 7 years later that idea has never come back

#

brilliant stuff

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

its my foot up your ass

vernal adder
#

1151

balmy condor
#

how bout that

royal lantern
#

hot

vernal adder
#

why isnt it 1111 haste

balmy condor
#

too many 1's

#

stats only exist in nice even, round numbers

#

like 17

vernal adder
#

fucked up world man

balmy condor
#

is 1111 prime

#

maybe 3

#

900 + 291

vernal adder
#

its my pw

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

okay

#

nvm

vernal adder
#

I should play again, been just talking in all channels

balmy condor
#

save yourself

vernal adder
vernal adder
#

I play wow, I meant other games

balmy condor
#

sorry to hear that

#

after the first month-ish of a new season in wow

#

I spend most of my time in wow thinking about how I can play less wow

mortal crag
#

Back to destiny

vernal adder
#

ye the dungeons get old quick

mortal crag
#

Oh

#

Wait

balmy condor
#

can't even raid log anymore cause they make you farm your voidshards

#

and then they uncap crests

royal lantern
#

i love farming AA every 2nd season for puzzlebox since that dungeon got released

vernal adder
balmy condor
#

surely they bring back upper/lower kara in s2 right

#

we haven't seen karazhan in almost 3 seasons

#

that's unacceptable

vernal adder
#

lower kara is hand myself territory

balmy condor
#

or mechagon, but only one half so you can't even use the cool rings

#

because cool things aren't allowed

red schooner
#

Bringing back Dawnbreaker. They'll have fixed the bugs this time.

royal lantern
vernal adder
#

I would imagine troll stuff,since next is troll surely

balmy condor
#

yeh it's gotta be troll

red schooner
#

Have the cata ZG/ZA dungeons been in the m+ rotations?

balmy condor
#

nop

vernal adder
#

kings rest so warrs can jerk off on gettiku

royal lantern
vernal adder
#

Gotta get my ret up to speed so I can sell

#

poor lass only has 700k

snow compass
#

Anyone able telling me what Im doing wrong in M+ based on this 🥸 ( sorry if this does not belong in this chat just delete in thats the case)

balmy condor
#

looks fine to me

#

everything is in the order it should be

#

maybe rupture is low I guess but like, that would depend on how things are being pulled and the key level and all that idk

snow compass
#

Then why cant I ever beat my friends who play idiot specs like arms and havoc with similar gear prayge

normal mist
#

because they deal more dmg

#

what key level is that

vernal adder
#

class diff

snow compass
#

11 key

balmy condor
#

why would you assume that you're supposed to be beating your friends

#

yeh 11 you're not going to beat them

normal mist
#

yeah aint no way you're beating them

#

The build you're using is good for high keys, just swap to sudden demise build

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

sudden demise probably your only hope at that key range if your goal is beating your friends

jolly stirrup
snow compass
#

I will rather get the final laugh when we hit high keys and keep practicing this spec

mortal crag
#

It’s the same spec

#

You just take sudden demise

balmy condor
#

so like if it was 100% faster, it would be same damage, but in half the time

#

single target

jolly stirrup
#

Or caustic

balmy condor
#

It existed well before deathmark, but we did have them together, yes

jolly stirrup
#

Did it work? So many questions

balmy condor
#

if you pressed it after deathmark it would reduce the duration of deathmark as well

#

that was cool

#

you just lost all your damage if you did deathmark -> exsang

timid pollen
#

on plater nameplates how do i ignore the weapon poisons and some other buffs like internal bleeding? if needed i can switch to platynator or any othe one too since it's too bothersome to see every single debuff/dot on the enemy
checked several settings and none worked so far

balmy condor
#

instead of exsang-> deathmark

balmy condor
jolly stirrup
#

Why did they take it away?

balmy condor
timid pollen
#

sorry about the duplication then, couldnt see that

worn geyser
#

that legion prepatch when it was giga was crazy, just doing a bajillion dmg to kilrog

mortal crag
#

Was bone spear around during that too

jolly stirrup
balmy condor
#

yes but that was hotfixed to not work with exsanguinate

#

because on PTR people bone spiked a world boss and exsanged it 5 times

#

and it crashed the world server

mortal crag
#

Yeah haha

balmy condor
mortal crag
#

Bone lance and spear was sick

#

Bring it back

jolly stirrup
#

Explain

#

I am baby im WoW

balmy condor
#

take the skullsplitter ability from arms warrior

#

and copy paste it

jolly stirrup
#

What is it

balmy condor
#

the same effect without the jank

jolly stirrup
#

Got it

balmy condor
#

exsang's entire problem was that it didn't technically speed up your bleeds

#

when you pressed the button it would look at the bleeds on the target, save all the info about it

#

remove the bleeds

#

then reapply a new bleed based on the info it saved and the speed multiplier

mortal crag
#

I see why it crashed lol

red schooner
balmy condor
#

talent was held together with fucking spit and duct tape

#

like if you thought deathstalker's mark was buggy

#

exsang makes the mark it's fucking bitch

royal lantern
#

like, even just the problems aside

mortal crag
#

exang or bone?

royal lantern
#

the gameplay with exsang was also just not interesting or fun

#

like it was just

red schooner
#

new tier set 4 piece, random exsang procs, make it happen.

royal lantern
#

re-apply bleeds for max duration->exsang->let them run out and apply bleeds again, repeat when exsang is ready

balmy condor
#

exsang would've also been okay had they just made it a passive on vendetta

#

which they kinda did with deathmark

royal lantern
#

you just pressed rupture/garrote more often

balmy condor
#

but then deathmark and exsang both existed

worn geyser
#

still not fan of DM over vendetta shits cringe

royal lantern
#

its literally the same ability

#

except 1 is a bit more thematic

balmy condor
#

anyway exsang should never come back unless the spec gets an overhaul or something cause you can actually just buff the numbers on deathmarks bleed bonus and energy regen

#

and you get the same effect

#

but without any extra work

#

like make negotiable contract that instead

royal lantern
#

like

2min cd where you point at the enemy and do more dmg cus you do more dmg

vs

2min cd where you do more dmg cus you duplicate your dots

balmy condor
#

150% instead of 100% and 160 energy instead of 80

royal lantern
#

much difference

balmy condor
#

gg exsang is back idk

worn geyser
#

its just a thematic dislike yes

royal lantern
#

i mean, what thematic did vendetta have

#

it was literally the "points angry at guy" meme

thin kernel
#

If they gonna stick with the simplicity they have now, the least they could do is make our aoe builders a bit more "flashy" it feels like your pressing the same button

balmy condor
#

so now it's kinda just fok and expensive fok

jolly stirrup
#

But we get to spread our bleeds garf_sit

#

Fancy

royal lantern
#

i like how they made the gameplay "More simple" garf

balmy condor
#

I don't mind more simple, I also don't mind the direction they took

#

everything they did is totally fine

#

they just kinda half-assed it

royal lantern
#

the 81 year old Mom of one of our healers is in our guild

like, she mostly just does tmog farming and stuff

#

she stopped playing because "the gameplay of my Shaman has become too boring"

#

was kinda funny to read

thin kernel
#

I'm still waiting for my poison bomb button, dont think i'll ever get it.

balmy condor
#

it's like a ghost they keep seeing

#

and thinking its there

#

isn't the first time they've tried to bring back the lost casual playerbase they think doesn't exist

#

unsuccessfully each time

worn geyser
#

yeah they are definitely gonna somehow capture the zoomer casual market that isnt 20 custom skins deep in marvel rivals

royal lantern
#

ngl, there is in general this really weird perception of "casual players"

like, people always bring up that only 0,0000000000000000000000000001% of the playerbase ever enter dungeons or raids and all that stuff

and translate that into "that means that EVERYONE ELSE is a bigtime tmog and mount farmer that 24/7 levels alts and runs around in the world and does world quests!!!!"

#

when like

#

no?

#

a huge chunk of the playerbase literally just stops playing after a couple weeks of a content drop

balmy condor
#

making specs simpler and stuff is totally fine if the intent is to flesh it out and like double down on the thematics

#

like sub doubling down on clones or assa doubling down on energy

#

like that's cool

#

neat

#

do that then

#

but what they did instead was kinda just remove stuff, have a good base, add the beginnings of those things

#

and then leave

#

and went "casuals love this"

#

"job done"

normal mist
#

As a casual i can now play sub and parse purple

#

Job's done

balmy condor
#

the "Correct" way to do it would've been to just make one thematic/core mechanic with the apex talents, and have it be like if you do this mechanic correctly, you do damage, if you don't play the mechanic then you are not playing the spec and you're like -25%

#

and assa kinda has that except it's -1%

#

and most specs don't even have the one core mechanics anymore

worn geyser
balmy condor
#

like sub's clone thing just to toss out something

#

could be like you can double cast your abilities during dance

#

and the second cast is a clone attack

worn geyser
#

that sounds dope

balmy condor
#

so now you have:

  1. very obvious gameplay of when in dance -> double tap shit
  2. if you don't do the gameplay, you suck
  3. it is the core mechanic of sub, if you don't like that, then you don't like sub, go play something else
#

it's clear, it's obvious

#

good stuff

#

but like

#

"your shit banks stacks on a buff and then if you have more than some number then you get a passive and a proc that you don't really notice and then you have more cp but you don't want that you want to use the thing again to proc it again"

#

what are we doing

royal lantern
#

subs apex is the most convoluted ability description ever

worn geyser
#

more simple than the adv optimization they got for that also, like i dunno if casual people are really going hmm do i have 5 sht stacks and supercharger and its 5pm on thursday then press ss

balmy condor
#

ye

royal lantern
#

for a spec that is one of the easiest and most simple specs in the game rn

#

its insane

balmy condor
#

like there are ways to make things interesting and add depth

#

and give something cool

#

without it being insano all over the place

#

but Shruge

#

guess not idk

royal lantern
#

like, they are in a weird spot

#

cant add active abilitys cus then people start with BUTTON BLOAT

#

cant add % stat increases cus "thats boring"

#

so its like 80% passive effects on top of passive effects

normal mist
worn geyser
#

cranking

royal lantern
#

GG, sub in Midnight

normal mist
#

could have way better parses but CBA

worn geyser
#

idk the passive trees are more complex than they were quite a while ago, yet they are on a mission to simplfiy rotations/button bloat doesnt make sense to me

#

like before i could just look at the tree and be like ok these 4 things affect my shit, now its like 10 small things that passively affect it

balmy condor
#

full haste enchants cause I played sub the night before

#

shit is actually a clown fiesta idk

#

like if you open the log and you're like wow this guy must be juiced out of his mind and omega geared

normal mist
#

Yeah those points where "Rng now"

balmy condor
#

and you see this shit

#

you'd have a fucking stroke

runic hinge
#

oh im stroking

balmy condor
#

What

runic hinge
#

S1 btw

glossy dust

#

i mean yeha

#

that means sometimes you just do up to roughly 15% more or less dmg just because of random things you cant controll

#

🤷‍♂️

glossy dust

it is what it is

coral ibex

#

what is weird is, that wirh all the upgrades that are surely a couple %

#

u would think uf see someone highroll much higher dps

coral ibex
#

thats not how variance works but ok

royal lantern
#

there is also the thing that most really high geared people dont really do chimmy rn anymore

shy axle
#

do you even bother anymore with ct on bosses with fast dying adds like the first one or saladhar in spire? or just the full st + splatter build that some/many use on alleria

royal lantern
#

cus like

#

they have their trinkets

#

or are proging beloren/lura/aleria rn

#

or finished the tier

glossy dust

there arwnt many reclears

#

wasnt it always havy rng tho? i swear i feel like ive been reading high variance in rogue discord since forever

#

or ist it now for all classes

analog field
#

it is for all classes at the moment

#

the minimum I think is around 12 or something

glossy dust
#

eh w.e

marsh fjord
#

Gaze also adds a ton of variance

isn't it locked to a specific ppm ?

I mean you can pop evasion for 20% right before tankbuster

For the incoming aoe

terse warren
#

Hey guys, I have a question. In big pulls you just using using garotte, rupture ( on 5+ combo Points) and then spread with crimson tempest till bleeds are spread to all targets ? Or just a bunch?
And when you have 7combo points, always cast evenom first right? Instead of spread first
And for the rest its just fan of knives to build combo points i guess.
With cd's ofcourse

charred wind
#

spread to all and spenders at 5cp+

#

in big pulls with unlimited energy you don't need to use FON ( if i remember correctly )

terse warren
charred wind
#

it does damage - 99% for assa on key level but my group was also good ( i had PI if i remember correctly too )

terse warren
terse warren
golden loom
#

I mean you still spread bleeds cause its your builder for envenom

charred wind
#

crimson -> envenom repeatedly

terse warren
#

Yea but if you dont have a good group, you have to spread again which takes long time in really big pulls

charred wind
#

FON vs crimson tempest is so minimal in big pulls so spreading isn't really a cost

#

cause you have so much energy regen

I couldn't find it in the guides but is dungeon slice suitable when simming M+ or is it a mix of patchwork sims?

storm forum

we like dslice over the options

static glacier

#

generally better than just simming 5 target or dungeon route for the average player

real pike
#

and we killed it

#

lols

wooden jasper
#

IS THere a more precise way to sim assassination for m+ high keys?

#

cause lets be real the dungeon cleave is absolutely not representative of how m+ goes

oak ember
#

I just do single target boss and swap it to 6 for aoe

#

For a rough estimate

coral ibex
#

dungeon slice

#

that is the best way to sim aoe for assa

oak ember
#

Dungeon slice is for nerds

dungeon route is a for nerds
