#

btw. i lvld a wl and hunter on vanilla

#

but started after initial lvls

marble hemlock
#

eq/rs had better crafting

vestal wren
#

but i didnt experience all the "pro stuff"

marble hemlock
#

its not like wow did anything better than the other MMOs, except for maybe pve endgame (i.e.raids)

#

it just had the mass-appeal, allowing for a shitton of servers that eventually created their own sub-communities which is what made people enjoy the game

vestal wren
#

well it let you do content solo

#

rather then requireing groups

marble hemlock
#

it combined most of the interesting features other games had into a single game

vestal wren
#

so that was kind of new

marble hemlock
#

it succeeded in some aspects, failed in others

fast nacelle
#

you rly did a lot of things in groups. there were way more group quests

#

you also grouped for quests in mines etc cause of respawn timers etc

marble hemlock
#

you were grouped up for the majority of the time

vestal wren
#

sure but you where not forced to have a group to progress

#

whatw as by the time not common

fast nacelle
#

you started a quest with some fellas you invited and then sticked with the group

#

for hours

marble hemlock
#

because everyone was in this frenzy of "omg this is amazing, i need someone to talk to about it"

fast nacelle
#

talking about random stuff

#

also traded some stuff etc. it was rly great

marble hemlock
#

sure you werent forced, but it naturally happened that you grouped up

fast nacelle
#

lvl 40 grouped with healers to grind mobs

marble hemlock
#

for group/elite quests, and stuck to that group

fast nacelle
#

wasnt fun though

vernal adder
#

I cant wait for DH's in classic

strange python
#

it was, and it will never come back. I am suggested it wont happen on classic realm again

vestal wren
#

i cant wait to play my bloodelf paladin on classic

marble hemlock
#

i still remember doing ZA with this grp and we had like a lv50 paladin with us, a healer, who would just solo packs after we wiped to some stupid shit, felt amazing, and i stayed in contact with those guys for years

vernal adder
#

Im gonna go shaman ally in classic

marble hemlock
#

since it was new for everyone

strange python
#

xD

marble hemlock
#

it felt completely different

vestal wren
#

it will be the same game

marble hemlock
#

thats something thats not going to happen with the rerelease

vestal wren
#

nothing changed, so you will have the same feeling

marble hemlock
#

you will have people who are new to classic, and you will have people who played it already

fast nacelle
#

you cant ever feel the same even if you didnt play classic ๐Ÿ˜„

#

too biased of new (and better systems)

strange python
#

it isnt "new" anyway ..

vestal wren
#

its the same as saying you cant experience the new witcher bc. you didnt play it on release day

fast nacelle
#

back then most ppl were noobs and wow was the first mmorpg

vestal wren
#

it will be far worse now

fast nacelle
#

dude

marble hemlock
#

thats apples and oranges though

#

its like you cant experience any game the same again when you completed it once

fast nacelle
#

most vanilla stuff is so outdated

vestal wren
#

it will be the same experience, just that the enviroment around it evolved

fast nacelle
#

how would you enjoy it if you have "newer" stuff

vestal wren
#

so you will have the same experience

marble hemlock
#

it wont be the same experience

fast nacelle
#

its like you go back to black and white tv

#

and say "you can experience the same like ppl in the 60'"

#

or whenever

marble hemlock
#

the time you drove y our first car, no matter how shitty it was, was something special

fast nacelle
#

you cant cause you experienced full hd already

viscid helm
#

still better than BFA so who cares omegalul

marble hemlock
#

now, 30 years later, when you get that same car again, its not going to be the same

#

or rather

#

driving it will be the same

#

but it wont "feel" the same

#

which is what im talking about

fast nacelle
#

ppl can enjoy the "lvling not for being fast and efficient but meeting ppl and gather"

vestal wren
#

what will feel diffrent

fast nacelle
#

but not the "wow this is all new to me"

marble hemlock
#

it will "feel" worse because youve had 30years of car development that you compare it to now

#

okay so

#

something simple as loot

#

it will not feel nice

#

to have loot drop

strange python
#

so many ppl get stucked on the bwl raid tier .. today on privet realms they chees this shit out

marble hemlock
#

and everyone has to write N or G or S in chat

swift pine
#

ive played both vanilla and legion recently and prefer vanilla over legion by a lot

marble hemlock
#

so you know what everyone wants to do with the item

#

youre so used to easier loot-allocation

vestal wren
#

i did not like legion

#

but i am maybe the minority

marble hemlock
#

that the way we used to do it 15 years ago

#

just feels ancient and bad

#

im not looking forward to vanilla from a gameplay-perspective

vestal wren
#

it does not feel bad for me to work on a windows xp system

marble hemlock
#

im looking forward to it because it has "community-driven" written all over it, which legion does not

strange python
#

i loved my 1h fury warrior on classic :)))

vestal wren
#

it still feels the same as when it was an actual system

#

even tho it has less features ๐Ÿ˜‰

marble hemlock
#

and i play MMOs to be part of a community

vestal wren
#

and the OS enviroment/etc changed

marble hemlock
#

and wow doesnt really enable that anymore

#

except for m+

#

what type of new communities have emerged in the past few expansions?

#

rated BGs were on a good way, but then they made it shit

#

server-communities are nonexistant

vernal adder
#

class discords, idk

vestal wren
#

community moved to discord/twitch/reddit

marble hemlock
#

class-based community have always existed

fast nacelle
#

technically vanilla lvling was bad and exhausting.
mana regen was dog shit
everything did too much dmg
often stuff respawned too fast
you didnt have any noticable gear for a long time
as caster you used wands most of the time
as melee you regen after every 2 mobs and if you pull more than 2 you prob die
way less fly points
no stuff like aoe loot
no stuff like scaling lvling
no stuff like "do w/e quests you like there are dozens of quests and areas you can quest" < you ll run out of quests in vanilla

thats all stuff that got improved and you experienced in improved version

marble hemlock
#

theyre only easier to get into now, thanks to stuff like discord

fast nacelle
#

which is totally fine
vanilla wasnt perfect or even good. but still the best for 2000's standards

marble hemlock
#

i hate everyone saying "community moved to xyz"

#

thats just different ways of communication, but in order to build a community, you need to have a foundation to build it on

swift pine
#

it made leveling a challenge, a journey it wasn't something to just rush through

marble hemlock
#

and wow doesnt deliver that foundation anymore

vestal wren
#

i assume there are more sides to the medal

vernal adder
#

medals are a circle

marble hemlock
#

discord, twitch etc. are all just means of communicating inside that community, but you dont build one there. even here, we are a rogue community, based on a class inside wow, using discord as a means of communication, but the foundation is still based inside the game

vestal wren
#

everyone has diffrent opinions and perspectives on vanilla. We will see once its out how well it manages to attract players

marble hemlock
#

and over the past 10-15years blizzard has repeatedly robbed people of what their foundation was based on

#

by creating lfr, crossrealm etc.

#

vanilla doesnt have those, and thats what i personally am looking forward to

strange python
#

now ive to play with zombie pugs ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

wiping aggra hc

marble hemlock
#

becasue it means people actually have to talk to each other again

vestal wren
#

you do not sit before og for hours chatting now

#

you did that back in earlier iterations

marble hemlock
#

have to play with the same people, need to behave because otherwise they will quickly become an outcast etc.

vestal wren
#

ppl spend more time doing shit ingame, now we move more to efficient time management

marble hemlock
#

i know i spent hours upon hours just sitting in ironforge or dalaran

#

talking to people who did the same

#

just idling while waiting for guildies to come on or whatever

#

talking to each other

vestal wren
#

if you are german you can just watch barlows yt video about vanilla

#

he sums it up quite good

marble hemlock
#

ive spent hours in front of IF doing duels with other similar-minded people, and sometimes we wouldnt duel but talk for an hour or two, or start a BG grp

#

we didnt jsut log-in to do something specific, with random people we didnt give a shit about

#

it was the other way around. we logged in to see who was online, and do something we were interested in doing together as a group activity

#

and since group-sizes were usually larger back then, atleast for easy-to-setup activities like dungeons, you almost always had to find a few random people who you then got to know, because youve already seen them ride around in your capital hundreds of times

#

none of this is possible now

#

so fuck legion and bfa

#

long live vanilla/tbc

vestal wren
#

๐Ÿค”

marble elm
#

vanilla reeing has moved to this channel

#

i see

marble hemlock
#

oh, and #tertiarystatswereamistake

vestal wren
viscid helm
#

I feel like at this point blizzard might as well remove Mastery all together

#

it's becoming Vers 2.0 more and more

#

cos they are obviously to lazy to redesign it to actually something different for all classes

marble hemlock
#

while i didnt like it personally, the design of something like the combat-bracers is what mastery/azerite traits/talents should be like

vernal adder
#

BfA really not looking appealing to me atm, even less after talked about it here hours ago

marble hemlock
#

somethat that significantly alters your playstyle, and you choosing which playstyle to take (with one always being better for raiding than others obviously)

#

but coming up with stuff like that isnt easy i suppose

viscid helm
#

idk it can't be that hard

#

to make it something special for everyone

#

rather than %increased shadow dmg

#

or frost dmg

#

or holy dmg

#

etc

#

i mean they came up with bunch of artifact traits for every class

#

sure some where just flat % dmg for specific spell

#

ik

#

god bless

marble hemlock
#

hm

#

assa mastery

vernal adder
#

they were too busy with making gcd

marble hemlock
#

"you got a x% chance per combopoint used on rupture/envenom to proc a poisonbomb, scaling with mastery"

#

id like that :p

viscid helm
#

yeh something different

#

rather than % increased dmg

marble hemlock
#

or rather "to make your next enveom cast proc a poison bomb"

viscid helm
#

which affects like 90% of our skills

#

in BFA

marble hemlock
#

so you can actually hold it if you want to

#

for burst aoe or whatever

#

fuck no

#

all tertiary stats are godawful

viscid helm
#

Multi caused a lot of server issues

vernal adder
#

armor pen

marble hemlock
#

even armor pen was kinda shit

#

and all the new stats after mastery are just bad in my opinion

#

mastery was a nice thing to give classes some more flavour

vernal adder
marble hemlock
#

i was thinking something naugthy

#

but thanks for not going there

manic vigil
#

Weebs

vernal adder
#

๐Ÿ‘บ forsenWhip gachiBASS

manic vigil
#

I liked the vanilla discussion tbh

marble hemlock
#

which one?

manic vigil
#

Sel makes some good points

marble hemlock
#

number 2817 or 2816?

manic vigil
#

Hehe

marble hemlock
#

well, i spent a lot of time thinking about why i dont enjoy wow the way i used to do

manic vigil
#

Tbh don's no transmog point shocked me

marble hemlock
#

that ultimately led me to the conclusion i base my arguments for vanilla on

manic vigil
#

Not a transmog nerd but looking like a clown sucks

marble hemlock
#

i think a lot of people are just looking through the rose-tinted glasses and hope that vanilla wil magically fix everything, which it wont

#

i mean

#

youre not looking at your character during raid

#

and most people i know just had a different gear-set they would equip when going "casual" and sitting in if/og/dalaran for hours to talk to people

manic vigil
#

Also a fair point

marble hemlock
#

friend of mine was always wearing a pink robe and the engineering fishing helmet

manic vigil
#

Plus noggenfogger

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

used like 15k noggenfogger on my dk over the course of wotlk

manic vigil
#

I found it baffling that fuu didn't see that you can't have the same experience now than you could have back then tbh

warm parcel
#

jose*

manic vigil
#

Yeah I'm a noggaholic still

marble hemlock
#

the second one is just from one expac, and i didnt play my dk anymore during ICC

#

<

#

now you know why marin has a vault full of gold

vernal adder
#

you made marin

marble hemlock
#

we all did

manic vigil
marble hemlock
#

i actually stopped using noggenfogger when i transfered to horde back in cata

#

i just never liked the hu-female attack animations i g uess

#

or preferred the ud-male ones

vernal adder
#

ud females got good attack ones

warm parcel
#

I wouldnt mind if the animations werent broken

marble hemlock
#

hu-female was always spinning in circles

#

annoyed the fuck out of me

manic vigil
#

Yeah human female two hand is still gross

#

Literally swinging like a girl

marble hemlock
#

yeah, that was horrible on my dk

manic vigil
marble hemlock
#

every style made you pirouette

manic vigil
#

Yeah

marble hemlock
#

so spamming noggenfogger 24/7 was a rational solution

#

what was the price for 5 of them? 40s?

manic vigil
#

Ikr

#

Not sure

marble hemlock
#

ate a lot of gold :<

#

not even close to respec-costs tho

#

no dualspec is going to be one of the big offenders for a lot of people, since i expect it to stay out of vanilla

manic vigil
#

Well I played mage and I was okay with the casting animations there. But I was addicted to being small

#

Because the animations are quicker and it feels faster

marble hemlock
#

feelycraft

manic vigil
#

Yes

strange python
#

that shadowrelic from vault is an never ending story

marble hemlock
#

hm

#

i got one thats haunting me, mephistrophs nail, got like 30 of them

strange python
#

lethal heart

#

๐Ÿ‘€

vernal adder
#

ye clicking a table is combat

grave pagoda
#

The pin dint mention the argus legendary ring. Is it any good at all. Sry for the questipos but did just resentlybstart playing again.

marble hemlock
#

nah, its terrible

strange python
#

ive two relics with ma/malch and torment the weak but there are only 940 and it ends up in an dps lose .. its only a gain for exsang .. simming arround on 2.260...

marble hemlock
#

i need a better pk/malch blood relic, mine has shadowbind :/

manic vigil
#

I was a disc priest in wod kappa

marble hemlock
#

strange python
#

xD

grave pagoda
#

While im lacking wrist and shoulders a boot / head is the best to go then?

marble hemlock
#

youre a monk-reroller

lethal heart
#

#

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

marble hemlock
#

manic vigil
#

And fucking all healers on farm. Can't heal if no one loses hp. Uni op bigWOW

vernal adder
#

head is good

lethal heart
#

I PLAYED ROGUE TODAY

marble hemlock

lethal heart
#

marble hemlock
#

3sec ago

lethal heart
#

i'm just online ok

#

๐Ÿ•ต

#

need to start using offline mode

marble hemlock
#

need to idle on your rogue

#

if you want me to consider you one

strange python
#

i wanna dooooo some recleaaaaaaaaars ...

lethal heart
#

i made a severe mistake

#

of not making warlock though

#

i have like 8 warlock leggo tokens already

#

so big chances are i get something that is decent at least

strange python
#

its a sign

marble hemlock
#

just need sephuz

#

rest doesnt matter

vernal adder
#

ya'll need jesus

lethal heart
#

but ranged isnt my thing

#

especially pet classes

#

never liked that concept

marble hemlock
#

theres no pet-classes anymore

vernal adder
#

rogues are warriors pets thou

strange python
#

seli gogo loot some decent mephistros for me

marble hemlock
#

that sentence

strange python
#

๐Ÿ˜›

marble hemlock
#

reminds me of the picture from tbc

#

of the warrior who had a mace-rogue strapped ontop of his mace

strange python
#

rogues kitet warriors in the past :p

marble hemlock
#

good old times

#

innocent times

lethal heart
#

i'd love to play spriest

#

but spriest is just meme

#

and my spriest got kj as 1st leggo

#

so i just

#

ditched it

#

still rethinking if i should delete it already

marble hemlock
#

i dont need mephistrophs, i already got 2x955 malch/mos/mass shadow-relics that i dont use, dont need a third :x

vernal adder
#

mace rogue was fun

strange python
#

u should loot for me man :p

marble hemlock
#

nah

#

once i trade it, the NLC traits become worse

#

only works for me :3

strange python
#

hopefully i dont become mad and sacrifice my shit and go bleed build

vernal adder
#

go alac

strange python
#

ive 1bb and 2x shocklight

#

maybe it worxx

acoustic yacht
#

I just simmed with shoulder+head vs shoulder+boots and shoulder+head does more dps why?

marble hemlock
#

still remember how it hurt replacing my 895 rupture-damage relic with a 860master assassin one back during EN :x

strange python
#

but it was an huge gain seli

#

Too many variables to know for sure

#

45vendetta

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

still

lethal heart
#

and then nerfed

marble hemlock
#

was my first 895 item

#

from a halls of valor

strange python
#

best times in legion

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

first content

lethal heart
#

but yea

strange python
#

as exsang

lethal heart
#

having triple MA and vendetta boots back then

#

you were a god

marble hemlock
#

theres multiple reasons why that legendary combo could be better for you @acoustic yacht

lone creek
#

DEing a 975 FoN/MAss relic FeelsGoodMan

marble hemlock
#

most likely one is that you have good non-legendary boots, but your non-legendary helmet is kinda bad

#

the top4 legendaries for assa are all fairly close in strength

strange python
#

ive become argus relic 975 with malch :(((((

marble hemlock
#

so off-pieces can easily tip the scales in favour of one specific combo

strange python
#

head mantle is straight of my best setup too

#

mate

prisma gull
#

Woohoo

strange python
#

2.341.633 DPS crown/mantle .. with deeperstrategem 5-6k+ on sim, my bracer/boots setup is 6k behind(ns with subt. 2k) and mantle bracers 12k

manic vigil
#

5-12k youdontsay

strange python
#

but yeah there are even close

feelsgood

vernal adder
#

Europe is the worst country tbh

manic vigil
#

Agreed

strange python
#

its ok man

manic vigil
#

Fucking commies, all of them

strange python
#

i think u dont need to live there

prisma gull
#

as a eurotrash I can confirm

stable lichen
#

question, are there cases where you'd alter the rotation listed in the Assassination guide?

marble hemlock
#

if you happen to have multiple PK relics, you may want to fok at 3+ CP instead of mutilate

#

and then finish 4+ as usual

#

apart from that, no

strange python
#

seli how much pk traits needed ? 5 ? 6 ?

#

7 ?

#

lรผl an shadowpriest mindcontrolled me and put me into the dungeon

marble hemlock
#

to fok at 3+ instead of muti?

strange python
#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

marble hemlock
#

2 or 3, depends on your gear

#

for me its ~25k dps gain to fok instead of muti

#

with 3 relics

#

so 2 might be the threshold where its better

strange python
#

so u are sitting on 7pk

#

reasons m+

#

๐Ÿ˜„

marble hemlock
stable lichen
#

I'm gonna guess pk is poison knives?

strange python
marble hemlock
#

yes

stable lichen
#

for normal raids not used to really watching my relics, but I'm starting to think for H+ they're gonna make a big diff?

marble hemlock
#

compared to just weapon-ilvl, assa benefits greatly from having the right relics, yes

#

you can check on herodamage.com how much of an impact its going to have

stable lichen
#

nods gonna guess with a poison build master alch is the best relic?

#

lol ok

marble hemlock
#

noone saw that

manic vigil
marble hemlock
#

just check on herodamage ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

stable lichen
#

ok

manic vigil
#

I saw and took a screenshot

marble hemlock
#

link screen

manic vigil
#

Erm

#

No

marble hemlock
#

thats 3xPK vs 3xMAss

#

~50k difference

#

used to be less, but i guess my gear has gotten better :/

#

or maybe its just because i only got 15k mastery in my singletarget gear now :/

stable lichen
#

so is the boots/wrists combo the best with 4pc t21

manic vigil
#

Big boi deeps peepothumb

marble hemlock
#

when all the other slots are on the same ilvl, thats usually the go-to combo, yes

#

since that rarely is the case, it is best to sim yourself and see what combination of legendaries and non-legendary pieces is ahead

#

where the fuck did i drop all my mastery that i only have 15k now :<

stable lichen
#

is there a cutoff on crit where it starts to become a diminishing return to stck it?

marble hemlock
#

once you hit 100%, yes

stable lichen
#

lol ok so never basically

marble hemlock
#

pretty much, yes

#

im running 14k crit (with stacked eoc) right now and its still somewhat close in value to mastery

manic vigil
#

14k gachigasm

#

GieF

marble hemlock
#

:/

#

even with 14k

#

so yeah

#

crit is gud

stable lichen
#

wow

strange python
#

best use for swirly

#

second boss vault

marble hemlock
#

++

#

well

strange python
#

niceee

marble hemlock
#

as assa it doesnt matter as much

#

can just use mutilate

#

since it doesnt trigger the +10sec cd for some reason

#

probably because it hits twice or something like that

strange python
#

but for sub

#

playing a bit sub

marble hemlock
#

for sub/combat its great, yes

strange python
#

its fun ๐Ÿ˜„

#

on low keys

manic vigil
#

"Combat"

strange python
#

ive zipped my combat gear

#

:9

spare cloud
chrome tuskBOT
#

:game_die: rip rtb :game_die:

marble hemlock
#

i hate having to update gearsets

#

:<

spare cloud
#

imagine you had as many as the BRAH

#

then you would hate it even more

stable lichen
#

So is loosing an ilvl or 2 within reason as long as crit and mastery go up quite a bit?

strange python
#

seli

marble hemlock
#

got 15, so im not even close to his level :p

strange python
#

i dont find any crown/boots logs from u ? :p

marble hemlock
#

usually @stable lichen the answer is yes

#

but as always, sim yourself

#

or rather, sim your statweights, and incorporate them into the game with the addon pawn

Along with some remake/remaster stuff.

which is somewhat weird

might be

then again

#

whats to "show"

civic palm

eg. Here's how design mantra, and the changes we are making to make this not a fucking failure Day 1.

lethal heart
#

Improved the visuals for Patrol Captain Gerdo's Streetsweeper ability.

#

marble hemlock
#

i mean

#

that line has been in every hotfix-update

i mean

this is from the hotfixes 2weeks ago

"Patrol Captain Gerdo's Streetsweeper ability should now always properly line up with its visual."

so, you know, the boss had some issues over the last year :p

lethal heart

actually

manic vigil

Xd

lethal heart
#

have they finally fixed brh 3rd boss?

#

i think i havent done brh for like 2-3 weeks

strange python
#

what was the issue

#

i did brh yesterday and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary

lethal heart
#

you dont see lines

#

from bats

strange python
#

from bats ?

marble hemlock
#

no

#

its not fixed

lethal heart
#

yea last time i did brh

#

it was fiesta on this boss

#

coz you run out of space

marble hemlock
#

yup

#

did a brh26 two weeks ago, wouldve intimed, but then we got cucked by the beams on that boss

strange python
#

i did brh last night and all was fine

marble hemlock
#

and it was a depleto instead

the lines where visible

is there anything you dont hate?

Plenty of things

care to elaborate?

I don't hate you

#

For starters

marble hemlock

okay

#

but i like digimon

and you dont

manic vigil
#

So

marble hemlock

so i dont think ill ever consider marrying you

manic vigil
#

Fair enough

hoary copper
#

Poor Uni

manic vigil
#

Quite interesting that not hating leads to considering marriage

#

Btw

marble hemlock
#

you miss every shot you dont take

#

so everyone i dont hate could be considered marriage material, yes

#

until i find a reason to hate them

manic vigil
#

So you eventually hate everyone you are not married to?

marble hemlock
#

makes sense to me

#

and no

#

thats not the logical conclusion

#

i dont consider anyone i hate for marriage

#

thats the logical conclusion, which makes sense

you're highly undergeared, don't have proper stat weights

Okay so i keep hearing thereโ€™s no pvp gear in legion, so so I just get the world quest gear or is there a specific set? Icy veins doesnโ€™t list a particular set anymore

plain thistle

that shouldnt happen

lean hill

@jade lion just wear the highest ilvl you have for pvp. Doesn't matter where it comes from

jade lion
#

Cool beans thanks all

plain thistle
#

3 vanish either way

lean hill
#

@grizzled trail how you deal with vanish using wrist/shoulder really depends on fight length. If you will only get 2 uses of vanish in a fight it doesn't matter if you hold vanish for a while, you want it during execute and with vendetta

grizzled trail
#

Yeh that makes sense. Thanks guys

is the 125% garrote dmg buff from Subterfuge permanent or only during stealth/subter?

gaunt moat

it remains for the duration of that garrote (aka "snapshotting")

if you override it with a regular garrote, it will lose that damage bonus.

frigid jasper
#

so it's only when garrote is applied during stealth or subterfuge?

gaunt moat
#

yes, if you chose subterfuge.

alright good to know

gaunt moat

same deal with nightstalker and rupture

yeah because it was tyra

are u dumb

you wont see an assa rogue in eu

no need to get toxic about it though ๐Ÿ˜„

the only non viable things in m+ is like a mw and enh shaman

SIN was played in BRH and HoV on winning teams as well, was Skyline.D though both times.

it has nothing to do with the map

its because of tyra

So a quick question. I got two upgrades from Heroic Ant this evening. The trade off is +3% vers, +4% crit, +1100 Agil, +200k hp, + 2 ilvls, at the cost of -20% Mastery. My Mastery would be at 180% if I did this. I simmed both builds and apparently the 180% mastery one out Dps's the other one by about 50k. But I don't know, I need advice from Rogues who know more than I lmao.

Quick question, does t21 2pc (for assassination), the increased crit chance for deadly and would poison, is that only on your current target? or all targets afflicted with deadly?

all targets

makes you not have to rupture a target when theres enough shit to hit

jaunty dove

Great, thanks!

lunar coral
#

how much dmg do u guys do to the vari add usually? our raid thinks sin rogues should be able to do comparable dmg to ww and rets.....

steep obsidian
#

your raid is dumb

supple hearth
#

you're helping the raid more by tunneling the boss. If you're struggling with the adds then thats a raid issue not a you issue

lunar coral
#

yea i mean we've had vari down for a few months now but tonight we struggled hard with it so people started pointing fingers

steep obsidian
#

even fi you get a poisionbomb the thing shouldnt live long enough for it to fully tick

supple hearth
#

my guild usually blows up the adds before I even have an opportunity to swap. if I do swap I get 1 or 2 hits off and its dead

#

so not worth it for me

lunar coral
#

kept linking dmg done to adds and showing rogues at the very bottom, implying we're tunneling when we're actually fok spamming and using env on it

steep obsidian
#

i guess you could save cp and envenom every one

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

warm parcel
#

Or your ele could solo it

#

And rest kill the boss as intented

lunar coral
#

even saving cp and env is going to be probably 1/5 the dmg of a ww or ret, which has fof and ds that hit way harder

steep obsidian
#

yes

lunar coral
#

ya i mean they kept calling for hard switch on adds from everyone and the melee add still didn't die fast enough sometimes so they focusing in on how the rogues are doing the least

supple hearth
#

๐Ÿคท if you need your raid leader to come here and ask if its wise to have u on adds have them come. we'll all tell them he doesn't understand how the game works lol

steep obsidian
#

unless you are runnin like 8 rogues it shouldnt be an issue

lunar coral
#

it's like come on......not all specs are equal. i get 1 env cast before it dies and it hits for nothing

supple hearth
#

we had a rule even back in NH if the sin rogue is using agonizing poison they are allowed to tunnel

steep obsidian
#

no point complainin in here you preaching to the choir dude

supple hearth
#

doesnt make sense to have ur member lose a ton of dps cause the rest of the team cant do their job

lunar coral
#

ugh...i know, i just wanted to make sure i wasn't insane. it's so ez to just be like u're tunneling so hard it's wiping us

#

even when we're actually not and losing dps by saving cp and waiting to env the add once

#

and still be on the bottom for add dmg

supple hearth
#

DW its not your fault your raid wiped

steep obsidian
#

go sub and dfa every one and do no boss damage at all /nod

#

that will make them very happy i bet

#

probably still lose to other classes

lunar coral
#

thx guys. needed a sanity check. it was tilting to have ppl link the add dmg meters trying to imply there's more we could do

warm parcel
#

Well also

#

If youre getting one env in the add is dying insta

#

So whats the issue even then ๐Ÿค”

supple hearth
#

probably the rest of the raid is ignoring them and tunneling as well

#

tbh

steep obsidian
#

i like to go to replays and see exactly wha people were targeting and see how long they take to target swap

#

logs dont lie

lunar coral
#

i'm taking marked prey so i'm not able to get an env on the add every single time

#

but like the one time each pull it dies too slow, then they go back and link overall dmg to adds and are like, why are rogues tunneling so hard when we said to swap

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

steep obsidian
#

i always used to say to my raid if you even see me on add damage and im not last you guys are sucking ass

#

it just the way sin works

#

was worse back in the ap days

lunar coral
#

yea we had this issue back with ap too

#

cept new RL/leadership team

#

still thinks the same tho..

Target swapping when AP was a thing ๐Ÿ‘€ fuck that

AP was like a free tunnel card

U could switch to sub with mfd for adds LUL

That's what i did... But after the first 5-6 kills i said fuck it, i'm done with that :x

warm parcel
#

Lemme tell you a secret.
Frost mage can guarantee 7-13 mil on every add depending on gear and cds on

#

An ele is 5-13 depending on crits/procs

#

A hunter like 5+

plain thistle
#

our elemental just destroys the add, you cant even compete with him

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

warm parcel
#

So it takes a combined 5 people to actually do their job and noone else has to even touch it

#

Frost mage can

#

And depending on how fast it dies frost can win

#

If it dies in a global frost loses

#

But give 3 and frost starts winning

#

And ye

#

Vari adds

#

And even 3 globals at these haste levels are sub 4 sec

400k Muti p much useless

especially if it doesn't crit so u can't even 4/5cp env

We got the kill so I'll take it. No thanks to my glowing parse. ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

probably a dps upgrade to hold judge a few seconds and get a crit cleave judgement on it as it spawns

#

that the whole point though ret and other spec has the tools for the burst can save procs etc

#

sin really cant in any meaningful way

marble hemlock
#

fairly simple, really

#

as an assassination rogue you shouldnt be expected to go on the add

#

if your raid struggles with it however, you should think about changing that approach and help out in any capacity you can, knowing that its still not going to make a huge difference

and if your raidleader specifically asks you to help out after youve wiped to plenty of times already, that just confirms you having to help

#

is it efficient? no. but firstkills arent about about playing 100% efficiently with all 20 players, its about getting the mechanics down and killing the boss

That dont switch

if you progging 6 months after raid come out you prolly dont have much of a competent bench

lunar coral
#

well they focus on the meter to find their answer

marble hemlock
#

you never have a competent bench

lunar coral
#

so it's not that the ranged aren't switching fast enough

if you had, theyd be in the raid, and the inept players would be on the bench instead

it's that there are ppl (sin rogues) doing almost nothing compared to the top (ww, rets, booms)

marble hemlock
#

yeah, but every little bit helps

lunar coral
#

yea i mean it's like, 15-30m from sin rogues vs. 100+m from ww/ret

#

clearly the problem is the rogues not doing enough
