really? does it not live quite a while if you do that
i mean its only ignition cast
u just feint/evasion or cloak
i usually cloak the ball phase with ignition cast
only scary part
yeah, thats what i do too. its not me im worried about
dps and healer both died to it lol
bad healer then :p
healer death was to wyrm explosions + ignition, dps was knockback + ignition
after refuel
how do these buffs feel boys? is deathstalker gonna be played?
ill be testin next week
will try sending hard on boss at start and see how it goes 👍 ty for advice
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
ofc hopeu beat my dmg
asa feels amazing in mt
Are the new deathstalker changes relevant in any capacity? Ig its still a dead hero talent choice
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
i mean its only 10%
isnt the biggest deal
i dont even try to get it im worried ab gettin 1 shot XD
i just wish someone would grab it T_T
more dps = less time having to heal through 2 spellbreakers
if you pick it up before sending CDs? i dunno about that
i actually dont cd that pack
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
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
yeah i could see that
just depends on ur group/what u need
yeah for sure
no
:c
Bruv you sound happy about that
are you mentally okay?
😄
Am I reading Whispyr's pin right, Deathstalker still isn't beating Fatebound?

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
yes, we're safe
still 2% behind in ST
the 1% in keys is scary tho
because funnel might just be better in some places
What's the usual stat distribution for m+ for ds?
doesnt change much from what i heard yday
Maybe a tad less haste I'd guess
maybe mastery bit better than haste, but still crit >>>>>
Its incredibly large, people think the st is bad but u just dont play ds in st keys
!crests
probably asked but, will deathstalker be playable now after the buffs?
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
Might be for the Sudden Demise build actually
i rlly wish it was a huge buff because for sub its a crazy buff for raid
best single build now
Deathstalker usef to be very problematic in raif fights with swaps
People arr rightfully traumatized
if you have 1100 haste ( 600 here)
dont have the lura+aleria haste jewelery tho
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
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?
Who's forcing DS on reset
insane people
everyone (no one)
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
Take it off your bar and not worry about it
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
Its a token/placebo buff for sub, it really does not matter
Deathstalker was better before by a fair margin, it is now better by a slightly bigger margin
Ok thanks. So my thinking was the norm
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!
not really much going on at lvl 14 since you dont have the main finisher (envenom yet) - shiv is not used, you can open with garrote - the use mutilate to build combo points up to 5 and then rupture (this is a good habit to build because we always finish on 5+)
(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 >.>)
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 😄
you could tell people that they have to smash their hand with a hammer in the middle of the rotation and if it meant that you gained 0.5% dps people would do it, so deathstalker would be played if it was better

... 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 🥲
currently, shiv is only used a soothe effect, so don't use it rotationally right now (there is an edge case to use it rotationally once you get access to hero talents). Opener is correct, if you're trying to build good habbits, try to get ur bleeds up ASAP and maintain them as your highest priority.
But Outlaw is much more Fury Warrior-esque if that is what you were looking for tbh
Sorry if this is a stupid question but do yall manually drop envenom buff or do you wait it out ?
manually as in cancel auraing or something?
yea
nah you wait it out
okay! thanks

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
reading the pin, does this mean ds is still worse than fb in most raid situations we currently have? 😄
according to the sims, yes
That is in fact 30%
People, I was unaware you could bonus roll into a set token, that's where my Chimaerus went this week 
can someone post me the rogue stand in city like npc copy pasta please?
/raid Rogue do low damage (盗贼伤害垃圾). same parse as arms war (评分红色,和武器战一样). Bring shame to guild (公会之耻). M+ instant decline (大秘秒拒). I stand in city like NPC (刪除此類)
are keys the best way to grind for gear on an alt after reaching 260 ilvl
yes bonus rolls
ty
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
I dont think its available during combat
ah it is not live-written?
Tf boss you having 4 min kills on
Rogue do low damage (盗贼伤害垃圾). same parse as arms war (评分红色,和武器战一样). Bring shame to guild (公会之耻). M+ instant decline (大秘秒拒). I stand in city like NPC (刪除此類) @spice spire
is deathstalker back?
Checka da pins-a
on subtlety it is
Do diminishing returns points for secondary stats rise as major patches come out or are they stay the same the whole expansion?
They stay the same
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
Yeah I remember late s3 i was equipping a quite bit of vers gear
why is my dmg so shite in M+ pulls but on the bosses im top dps
wowanalyzer says im doing fine 
Probably low keys
For a big mac record your keys and i will tell you if you're doing shit or not
was a 10
Rl wants me sub for the rest of the tier (currently on m alleria) but i rly dont want to run ds
Is fb sin comparable for st
is that still considered low
yeah
10s were done at first day of the season
No offense ofcourse
no flame
Mobs die too fast
pain
fair, think its most of the time best to play what you are comfortable with
I agree, but rl is pushing me towards sub hard
I was hoping for a credible screenshot to get him to leave me alone lol
I’ll just tell him I’m not doing it and to sit me if he hates me on sin 
damage should not be a concern
so idk, people over-optimize for not noticable diffrences
Ye
Idk why he wants me on sub so bad
We’re not even a t500 guild
Massive red flag btw
If anything we’ll most likely be in race to world last
if he wants to force you on a spec
I bet right now if i knew your guild name
there are people grey logging
and doing worse
tbh people are stupid like this w/e the world rank
super stupid yes
expectations set by players is often just way above resonable amounts
Dont have much choice unfortunately
It’s my first ce tier and i dont have mythic logs aside from this season so im just gonna deal with it 
the best showcase is m+
Yeah i was in the same position as you last tier.
Tell rl to touch grass and get some
I know how you feel.
Ya i stopped pugging m+ ages ago
It’s been a peaceful life
what boss are you at rn?
M Alleria
cus like, unless you are close to killing lura
your guild is not even in the top800

Das what im sayin
Everything above 200 WR should not care about what spec you are playing on what ever boss.
Eh fuck it
Either he sits me or i leave and take the tank with me 
like, we killed beloren last week and where like
wr770 something
I am well aware but unfortunately it does not seem that my leadership is
If you are struggling to clear M crown at this point in the season the RL needs to realize that you playing assa instead of sub is not the reason you wont clear it
W mentality

laura date unlocked
I was in a guild and they said to me.
Learn sub or get benched. and i refused to learn.
Quite shrimple
🦐
like
I’m fine with playing sub when i have to as long as it’s not a miserable experience
The return of ds has made me reach that threshold
tell him to show you why your spec choice is the reason the boss is not dying
giving you logs or smth
yeah DS sucks
and not the warrior that plays floor pov 2x each pull
Too much effort
It’s a video game and I’ve got too much irl shit going on to waste my time and energy giving a guy online a five paragraph mla format essay on how comp doesnt matter atp
When a raid leader tells me to play a different spec i just show him deaths after 2 and i'm always 100% alive after 2 and it just shuts people up.
It eez what it eez
Im rolling up on sin next raid night and if he gets pissed idc
I’ll link him my first message and tell him to scroll through the convo if he rly wants an explanation
Its not about being efficient its about being right
Name a more iconic duo than Raidleads and being dumb as fuck
It doesnt exist
It’s bc smart ppl know that being leadership in a video game is beans
mages and yelling "blizz hates us" when they are not a SSSS+ tier class for half a month?
This is why I can never leave Ravenholt
I love you guys
go to WCL and look at damage statistics for midnight falls at the 95th percentile
You will see something really funny
Evil numbers ragebaiting for a good cause
Ooh new cat gif, ty
Yes!
live footage of whispyr installing the brainchip
did you see it
Live footage of whispyr telling me how to sudden demise log for padding
HAHAHAHAHA
when i found that one for the first time
i laughed so hard
league of legends man
what playing league does to a mf
League bring something out in me that i do not wish on peoplee
i got 7 accounts banned
toxic numbers
Well i didnt say really crazy shit or something but i did call people dumb or stupid
The guy prying the bottle out of his hand is frying me oh my god 
hello fellow yellow men
rogue is yellow
No
piss color
Sir the yellow gamers are over here #outlaw
so ur a dk?
That's closer to priests than to rogue, unless you're dehydrated
have you guys managed top 5 dps in your raids with your guilds
Yerp 
inspirational
I havnt drank water in 15 years
Holy shit, I've unknowingly been repping outlaw and I despise that shit
All good, fixed now 😅
does anyone know why on the second log for Assa in Vorasius, hes using shiv often?
link it, i gotta see this shit
Without looking my guess would be to cheaply go from 4 cp to 5
which is an important breakpoint
timing wise it looks like kb muscle memory
Using it to go from 4cp to 5cp would be crazy though
I hope that’s not what he’s doing
Yeah, I wondered if that was ever a good use, sometimes you are energy starved and your mut/fok only gets you to 4
isn't it fairly cheap with the talent though? Something like 15 energy or whatever
Yeah cheap and zero damage
Sure, but might let you push into the 80 stack of implac rather than dropping it
Could be very wrong, just a thought I had
If you can’t get to 80 you just drop that’s fine
It would also let you chain exactly 1 more envenom in this hypothetical situation
On Vorasius, right
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
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?
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?
Sure, so the dmg amp could be DM I guess
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
but yeah, its probably not like great
Then it’s 0.3%
or envenom falling off and low energy trying to keep buff up before his dm
So when would it ever be good on fatebound
Idk, but the rank 2 guy used it 3 times more than me
Yeah and the rank 2 guy is an idiot for that

the could be rank 1 guy
it's like the old saying "rank 2 is doodoo"
Maybe if he pressed shiv more he would be rank 1
There is an objectively correct answer to this
That has already been looked into and theorized
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
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
It would definitely make me feel smart, even as I objectively lower my dps in doing so
10% skill 90% rng
There is no reason why I should have that many rank 1’s
but that 10% skill put you way ahead of most players
Yeh
But its second nature to assa rogues to just invent min-maxes that don’t exist
Such is life I guess
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
A tale as old as time
We don't really have that many buttons or things to do
gotta hyper optimize ourselves into problems
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
getting adds first is cringe, all my homies get adds last
Honestly
I’ve spent time in my life telling someone that there is not a difference between
- mut
- Ambush
And - Ambush
- Mut
what does this even mean?
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
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/95742563 my team is 5/9M and i am parsing decently tho i think
EVEN THOUGH IT CANT FUCKING CAST MUT IF IT HAS BLINDSIDE
ITS NOT POSSIBLE
“But it’s lower dps”
This is 4/9M friend, but I wouldn't say you are a dogshit player, these are good parses mostly
had to play afflock for the kill on dragons since our lock wasnt available
o7
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/40280402 the biggus f
oof
hes also playing ct no caustic and theyre funneling bugs on vorasius at 3:10 btw https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/NGKH94Y1b2pBkQjv?fight=27&type=damage-done&start=9412147&end=9436747&view=events&source=435&ability=1247227
I was melee rl for 5 years can confirm
it is not fun
it makes me sad every time i also look at salladhar
cause my team praise be upon them. fuck up deeply on the fucking ccing of adds
"uhm, dont stand in stuff ranged"
u are our dumbfuck <3
the best
if your not sending kingsbane on a blistercreep you dont get to talk about minmaxing
why when i sim sin its like 40k less dps than sub
me using deathmark on a blistercreep with the new talent so it jumps and procs suddem demise on two of them

uh wtf
CAN ONLY HAVE 5 LAYOUTS
NAHHH
this is dogshit
so idk what the fuck is wrong with my ui now

Which rogue spec is currently the go to for Season1 raids?
assa
gock
sub players pay blizzard to get buff after buff every patch notes despite being picked way higher in raid
we dont need it
@severe meadow
ive actually just been stunlocked by your sentence, what does that even mean lmao 
what kind of cooked addon are you using
idk
but we are boiling the Atlantic
homie what the hell
nothing
Thoughts about the deathstalker buffs? Will it be enough to make it worth taking? (I hope not)
check pinned note in this channel 
Hello pookie
Do you have more of this
Its peak

i just played my priest for the first time in 2 weeks and i come here to get called a rat wtf
deserved tbh

Ok technically you cant blame me for this
I was just supplying the goods to a customer
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
So Fatebound is still the way to goo after the new buffs to DS?
seems like it yeah
Fatebound still better for m+?
whats the best spec for m+ ?
they are all pretty good
do the void shards work on shields
Dunno i only have 2 daggers
I finally maxed out all the gear I have. I think the only possible upgrades are magisters cloak and myth gaze?
do we sim slice for m+
I'm not sure anyone does. Probably try 5 target patchwerk?
yes
Oh, did they update slice?
no
dungeon slice has been supported for all 3 rogue specs for a long long time now
thanks friend
Had no clue. That's great
being dumb doesnt exclude having any.plus you got nice hair
thats infinite dps gains
yo andrew tate crypto !!
!ban @quiet ruin spam
lmao
Will DS be playable after buffs?
I'm currently starting doing +19 and it feels like prio dmg is everything
patch note good?
You will lose AOE and ST damage for bigger prio damage
Whispyr made an excellent pinned message about it
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
oh right. just fatebound good
Ye, feels like, not worth it
With the current tuning there might be some bosses or something that are crazy good
Vordaza in Maisara Caverns would go hard for Deathstalker
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
you uninstall plater
the game removes those by default
but plater is shit
and brings them back
for unknown reasons
I like betterblizzard plates
do we get benefit from DH buff ?
???
i mean just poisens ?
the majority of your damage is envenom and caustic spatter are you high
important talent
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?
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
dungeonslice is not an indicator of the damage you should be doing
too dependant on the key
ah okay, so maybe better to check logs and see where I land?
I think best indicator is just how you're doing in relation to the people you're queuing with
alright, I will keep that in mind, thx a lot
Q with people that never done a key so your ego gets boosted
with class tuning coming on 27 is deathstalker looking like its going to be a thing?
Pins
?
read the pins
i dont read, explain in funny reaction gifs pls
how do i check pins
found it
and then go to pins
me rn ^
We are safe from playing deathstalker but its 30% better then fatebound?
here we go
Lower AOE and pure ST, big up on the funnel damage tho
so better for raid>?
So Vordaza in Maisara Caverns would get slaughtered
no, worse in raid
prio damage in aoe
deathstalker is funnel
you do not run into that situation in raid
Next season we get a Zul Myth Uldir style boss
And we get to play Deathstalker assa
Full zerg
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

How dare you
where's your 1100 haste set sir
In the bin with puzzle box
damn, not having 1100 haste in sub deathstalker era
didn't realize it was fucking casual hour in ravenholdt
unreal
6% ain’t enough to get me to learn nuthn
honestly
that's based
more people need to think like that
instead of chasing the 0.01%
respect that
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 
if I told a new rogue to try deathstalker I think they would uninstall the game
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
the right mindset^^
genuinely trying to think of something more universally hated than deathstalker
and kinda coming up short
exsang?
mover havoc?
I also feel trying to learn to switch between the two styles of dance will eat into any 6% gain i could make
irrelevant to wow but prolly that fermented swedish fish thingy,ppl smell it and vommit
practically biochemical warfare
yeah I mean out of wow you can score some pretty universal hatred
don't think anyone is sitting there like "yeah you know the working conditions of cocoa plantations is actually great I love it"
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?
we didn't?
it was really funny for the first month or so of legion where it was 400% faster though lmao
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

that's just the rogue classic
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

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
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
yeah lots of stuff clashing^^
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
was that an azerite power or something? I didn't play much BFA
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
yeah the boon trinket
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
Is poison bomb still rng? I got ridic rank in nighthold cause of bomb rng
technically yes but it's like 40% chance not 10
More bleeds less poisons next patch 
bleed believer Eleem believes
exang eleem
exeleem
I honestly don't even know what I want at this point, they just make shit so boring
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
or some random shite nobody asked for
Even if its boring shit I just prefer red bleed boring shit over green poison boring shit

the most probable outcome,they introduce a bleed mechanic of short that nerf it down the way
we get an aura buff 3 months later
if season 2 tier sets are just "you deal 5% more damage always and the 4 set makes it 10%"

I might actually fry the fuck out
But yeah it's not season 3 so there won't be any insano tiers probably
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
depends what claude says
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
its 1150 haste mister
its my foot up your ass
1151
how bout that
hot
why isnt it 1111 haste
fucked up world man
its my pw
I should play again, been just talking in all channels
save yourself

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
Back to destiny
ye the dungeons get old quick
can't even raid log anymore cause they make you farm your voidshards
and then they uncap crests

doesnt help when half of them are old dungeons

i love farming AA every 2nd season for puzzlebox since that dungeon got released
dont get too excited about the new s2 dungeons,its gonna be purgatory
surely they bring back upper/lower kara in s2 right
we haven't seen karazhan in almost 3 seasons
that's unacceptable
lower kara is hand myself territory
or mechagon, but only one half so you can't even use the cool rings
because cool things aren't allowed
Bringing back Dawnbreaker. They'll have fixed the bugs this time.
atleast killingspree doesnt end with you killing yourself anymore
I would imagine troll stuff,since next is troll surely
yeh it's gotta be troll
Have the cata ZG/ZA dungeons been in the m+ rotations?
nop
kings rest so warrs can jerk off on gettiku
you mean "all the reddit ret paladins and fury warriors complaining about mythic level loot because they cant get a mythic level gettiku in week -4 of the patch"

shiiiiet I pay 2milly bruh for weapon

Gotta get my ret up to speed so I can sell
poor lass only has 700k
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)
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
Then why cant I ever beat my friends who play idiot specs like arms and havoc with similar gear 
class diff
11 key
why would you assume that you're supposed to be beating your friends
yeh 11 you're not going to beat them
yeah aint no way you're beating them
The build you're using is good for high keys, just swap to sudden demise build
yeh
sudden demise probably your only hope at that key range if your goal is beating your friends
What was/is it?
I will rather get the final laugh when we hit high keys and keep practicing this spec
cd, press to increase tick rate of bleeds
so like if it was 100% faster, it would be same damage, but in half the time
single target
thats sounds broken. Did we have Deathmark already as well?
Or caustic
It existed well before deathmark, but we did have them together, yes
Did it work? So many questions
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
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
instead of exsang-> deathmark
the same as I told you earlier
Why did they take it away?
cause it was giga jank, snapshotted haste, was really unintuitive, and at the end of its life cycle had to be nerfed into a 3min cd
sorry about the duplication then, couldnt see that
that legion prepatch when it was giga was crazy, just doing a bajillion dmg to kilrog
Was bone spear around during that too
How would you change it to bring it back
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
Yeah haha
literally just skullsplitter
What is it
the same effect without the jank
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
I see why it crashed lol

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
it was one of the most hated abilitys man
like, even just the problems aside
exang or bone?
new tier set 4 piece, random exsang procs, make it happen.
re-apply bleeds for max duration->exsang->let them run out and apply bleeds again, repeat when exsang is ready
exsang would've also been okay had they just made it a passive on vendetta
which they kinda did with deathmark
you just pressed rupture/garrote more often
still not fan of DM over vendetta shits cringe
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
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
150% instead of 100% and 160 energy instead of 80
much difference
gg exsang is back idk
its just a thematic dislike yes
i mean, what thematic did vendetta have

it was literally the "points angry at guy" meme
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
yeh, they tee'd themselves up to make it interesting with the energy gameplay and then forgot to add the energy gameplay
so now it's kinda just fok and expensive fok

i like how they made the gameplay "More simple" 
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
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
I'm still waiting for my poison bomb button, dont think i'll ever get it.
to be fair, blizzard has been chasing the incredibly elusive "casual player" that they supposedly lost in the mop/wod era
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
yeah they are definitely gonna somehow capture the zoomer casual market that isnt 20 custom skins deep in marvel rivals
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
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"
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
w pop Cooldown macro shadowstrike evis spam this will do numbers with the casual audience surely
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
that sounds dope
so now you have:
- very obvious gameplay of when in dance -> double tap shit
- if you don't do the gameplay, you suck
- 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
subs apex is the most convoluted ability description ever
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
ye
for a spec that is one of the easiest and most simple specs in the game rn
its insane
like there are ways to make things interesting and add depth
and give something cool
without it being insano all over the place
but 
guess not idk
talent trees are a issue there aswell tbh
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
Haven't raided in 2 weeks, havent upgraded items to 298, i picked up the spec, spent 15 minutes in dummies and was like " yeah thats it"
cranking
get the haste requirment->get guidon->macro dance and secret tech togheter
GG, sub in Midnight

could have way better parses but CBA
100% this
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
my rank 1 chim from almost 3 weeks ago is still rank 23 now, before voidshards came out, but after bonus rolls, and I was too lazy to bonus roll anything so I have hero head/neck/rings/cloak/feet/puzzle box
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
Yeah those points where "Rng now"
oh im stroking
What
what

I don't see damage from poison bomb on my damage, is it added to the caustic spatter or something?
Its a part of envenoms damage
Thank you
is it that bad with rng or are prople just bad
we have a ~15% variance by default rn allready
S1 btw
die hear that surwly at some point u highroll
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
🤷♂️
it is what it is

what is weird is, that wirh all the upgrades that are surely a couple %
u would think uf see someone highroll much higher dps
thats not how variance works but ok
there is also the thing that most really high geared people dont really do chimmy rn anymore
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
cus like
they have their trinkets
or are proging beloren/lura/aleria rn
or finished the tier
it is? sustained % more dmg u have for sure and possibly high roll at sone point if u do ut often enough
yeah was about to say that
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
eh w.e
Gaze also adds a ton of variance
yes, but if u pop cds as its at max stacks u do more than if u have 0, is what he means
I have 230ilvl boots and waist, everything else is above 260. should i craft boots/waist or skip those and craft my bis offhand? idk how badly 30+ ilvls on 2 pieces of equipment hurt my dps
massively
This is what i mean
Two openers. two times bloodlust.
Left side 200k opener
right side 130k opener
guys can someone explain what hurt more on last boss caverns? cant feel how rly i should use deffs
Well you can vasnih the totem suck but youre playing assa so cant really do thag
I mean you can pop evasion for 20% right before tankbuster
For the incoming aoe
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
spread to all and spenders at 5cp+
in big pulls with unlimited energy you don't need to use FON ( if i remember correctly )
Because like the first pull in academy, its hard to do a lot of damage, as there are so many adds, takes a long time to spread all
only on a 16 on my alt rogue but https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WVcTCHgN9Jdny1bv?fight=25&type=damage-done&start=24772097&end=24853001
it does damage - 99% for assa on key level but my group was also good ( i had PI if i remember correctly too )
Y caustic spatter does more dps then the bleeds
Damn.. yea a lot of evenom I see, so less bleeds
I mean you still spread bleeds cause its your builder for envenom
crimson -> envenom repeatedly
Yea but if you dont have a good group, you have to spread again which takes long time in really big pulls
FON vs crimson tempest is so minimal in big pulls so spreading isn't really a cost
cause you have so much energy regen
Ah ok, just repeating ct then to spread, evenom on 5+
That's deathstalker no?
Elusiveness
nvm
I got it
He meant evasion
I forgot it does 20% on evasion too
the biggest part i miss about DS is the cloak/evasion DR thing, it was nice
I hated DS so much that i played my warrior alt in TWW
do we have any ds cooks yet?
wowhead
on Beloren, is it worth holding pot for second egg phase cause execute
even if we get lust first egg
I couldn't find it in the guides but is dungeon slice suitable when simming M+ or is it a mix of patchwork sims?
we like dslice over the options
I don’t believe so, but I’ve not summed it either
generally better than just simming 5 target or dungeon route for the average player
I forgor and pressed pot first egg
and we killed it
lols
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
Dungeon slice is for nerds
dungeon route is a for nerds
@haughty flicker
real
hell nah
do not join that key
can't be that bad, surely
Can we delete this mechanic from thistle tea that it goes by itself at 30 energy?
Its annoying
Like is there a option to switch it off which i cannot see?
wtf when did they add mmr to pisslow ranks
best you can do is talent out of it
Or not go under 30 energy
or just ignore it cause it doesnt matter when you use your teas
mfw one talent acts like a passive
Its just energy, doesnt even give mastery anymore, and even when it did give mastery having it autoproc also didnt matter 
I like to pop it manually after kingsbane and annoyed when its dried out by itself
I mean doesnt really do anything but you do you king
swap it? like u can do a 2m single + 4m aoe? or u do a sim for both depending of the % u estimate for single vs aoe uptime?
Thank you!
hello! Is there any spreadsheet for our evasion- cloak on where each one works for m+ ?
@balmy condor is Ren fun? 
hey guys for raids do we stack amp poison to 10 stacks before envenom?
amp exists
