man Flowi and I are so hyped for BfA
Sin compared to affli... Still pondering what that means. Could mean it's shit, could mean it's op
Probably is just nonsense tho

@gusty kestrel did u do raid testing last night
its melee boomkin
raidy
Aoe fiesta?
Outlul op 
Such diverse damage
we were doing some CC sheinigans
idk, so many classes look like this in the breakdown tho
BFA btw
yeh i've been testing some other classes in the tests
it's not any better tho

feral was rip,bite,rip,bite
since it's so slow
yeh i didnt even wanna try sub
yeh as a BM, you can do 80% of you're dmg with pet and auto shot
It's not? 
👌
nice class
yeh if you replace DK's runeforging with the 35% attack speed enchant
can prob get to 45% AA dmg
🤷
3 months to release
all classes feel like unfinished
all the bosses were dog shit
unfinished
cant wait
Your mom for mod tbh
would cap the mod limit
Savage
Agreed
all bosses were dogshit?
bosses were fine idk
sme classes feel good
e.g. wl
for bossfights, its hard to say how good/bad they are
ive been doing the dungeons at 120 they are fun and a lot of punishing mechanics
doing heroics at like 280 ilvl kinda rough
i dunno even if raids arent the best by m+ is the same or better then this expac that is enough for me
kinda burnt out on mythic raiding too much drama to deal with
i didn't play m+ and only a few dungeons on alpha, but they looked more punishing for melees
hmm yeah i was playing mage
and it was rough some of the trash
like id constantly get targeted and could barel cast
maybe more single target, and Kraut Kontrol being needed?
im all for the game being a little more difficult in general

most specs seem to not get more difficult
yeah i dont think you will get mass aoe pulls in bfa but then who knows how shit will scale in the end
so many pulls have uninterrruptable extremely dangerous casts or abilities
not for a while
I guess that was vague, I meant the dungeons
you couldnt at start of legion
yeh sure going in greens it might have hurt
2 weeks later
and after that
didnt matter
though I started playing halfway through legion, I guess dungeons were hard at the start?
who knows.....they might finetune it some more
no
Wearing greens 
it took quite a while before people could do 15s
but 10s werent a big stretech after like a week or 2 of raiding
well that logic could be applied to anything
i could say it took quite a while before people did 28's
🤷
i dunno i just got the feeling they designed dungeons more around m+ this time
but maybe i wrong
I'm all for it
and i did almost all of them in crappy gear on heroic if you dont undestand the trash it hands you yer butt
but knowing blizzard
they should hire you flowi
i think a dungeon design of 'less trash, but if you pull 2 packs, it is a pretty guaranteed wipe' that forces CC or piecemeal pulls might be a nice thing again
it wont be a thing.
Bummer
i want to see what m+ skips are gonna be a thing on motherlode
so much trash
so many knockbacks and shit
so many really dangerous mobs
i mean CC used by PLAYERS, not by mobs :p
So some of my guildies want to do a high DHT tonight and they want me to do the trick with the 2 bears before the first boss. So my question is how is it done as I've tried it before and failed badly?

you mean pulling the bears separate?
You move the bears to the side and the rest of the party move into the boss room and you vanish

But when I used evasion i get killed
You need to engage the adds for the shield to drop

strafe
And you wont die

but if u just run past theyll rip your asshole
thats why you never tank with ur ass exposed, optimally ofc
I'm dying here
this is the moment you regret asking the rogue discord for advice
I've never seen that done before so what can I say
Just kids one day they will grow up
ye
Smh
i could just say git gud
But i actually answered what he did wrong and how to avoid assrape
instead i get called a kid

🤷
And I know that you should not have your back to the mobs
I thought he was joking 😄 the more you know
As you don't know that's what I will do
Thanks to Connor for the swipe might be nature
Tbh I've never seen that done either. We just kill the bears
I'm never ungrateful I give credit were it is due
There's a million better places to skip adds in dht bears aren't that bad
Thanks that helps out alot
maybe it was an MDI thing
probably got kicked for group
Maybe
Wouldn't know never been kick maybe that's what happens to you

slagg solos every dungeon
True
M+25 solo ez
No biggie 🤷
Its cleaned dad

Go clean it again
No
Then get my keys it's time for ice cream
You missed a spot
🇺🇸

its like 1am in korea cant stay up late
Not sure if stupid or just bad joke
can it be both?
@dense scarab okay, I talked to someone to has done it before. You use distract to drop the barrier without breaking stealth, run past them a little, pull them with a knife
group runs through and you vanish asap
So you dont** really have to use evasion, or take any damage from them at all
Yes
@strange python thanks for the info
sorry I missed a word there. You dont have to use evasion
since you are just kiting them for a second or two
Cool cheers for that
@manic vigil 

Stupid obnoxious discord previews
hey guys what do i gotta do for a cool poison tag
ping Stjern
@fiery flower hey cool guy can i get a cool green color ❤


what a guy
yay
didn't work 
you have to earn the orange
RIP Toph
at least I tried
succeed or die trying
maybe another despot
@ rare can I get orange color?
CT is pretty good yeah
Busted might be a stretch
interesting
I'd always forget to save cp coz im bad to pull off that combo
although i guess ns envenom a lot
im pretty hyped shoulders got put as a talent
just pick marked for death ez
that talent has been deemed horrid
it is known?
I don't like how both tb and exsang are not worth it lol
And I don't know what they would do to fix it tbh
hate choosing between energy regen vs dps stuff
and venom rush does nothing for cleave or if you spec dispatch during execute
that whole row is whack and need to be sorta fixed
im soooo hyped to play dispatch again but its on the same tier as poison 🤔
sin seems a bit boring without kb to pay attention to tbh
CT is fun
at least you had to think a litttle bit for that
kb?
kingsbane
🤔
at least blindside gives you something diff to pay attention to and anotehr button
i really like blindside, i loved when we had dispatch during mop
but idk i dont feel much attatchment for kb
sabod is red now :x
fotm reroller 
team white is the best team
Master assassin the talent in BFA might not be as horrid as people think. It's RNG but u could easily open with 4 combo points from a single mutilate on pull. And then RNG vanish an envenom.
Sucks that it's RNG but I don't think it's horrid
opening with mutilate 🤔
ive been there
i do that when questoing
it doesnt owrk
coz mobs dont live
Why would u open with anything else with master assassin talented?
yeh
you could open with shurikens 🤔
nah
poison knife
i guess epopel will care to sim shit when things are solid and tuned
but from my testing that talent seems unwerwhelming as hell
they could buff it to 100% without breaking anything or making it op
if it was 100% for 3 seconds would it still be worth it over the others?
i guess you took the words from my mouth
i guess youd want to mut tb envenom in the crit window if you had those specced?
it might do some ok burst i guess
If it was 100% u wouldn't use the other talents they could or just made it 100% chance to proc seal fate from first attack outta stealth or some shit
It's just RNG now it's not horrid tho
the crimsom tempest ns combo on a big pull with ns seems like a good idea that someone mentioned before
when you ahve cp
and that would happen every pull in m+ if you were smart
its brokenly op 😛
U shouldn't have to wonder that
and it ticks over 2 secs instead of 3
but who knows at this point numbers wise it just all feelycraft
so pointless
i thought they tuned crimson tempest in a recent build too
i heard that gear is locked in m+ currently on beta is that right?
or is someone just talking crap
330
wtf boys
the same dude got a 100k above tyra on immonar too 🤔
6.6M antoran, every log on 05/may , fucking hell
Hello, i'm a mythic raider that recently resubbed after a long hiatus and decided to reroll a rogue and just dinged 110, what specc should i start out with? (I aim to clear mythic antorus and get some m+20 before bfa launch) also sorry if this is wrong thread to ask this, im quite new to discord.
@dusky fulcrum probably not likely to clear mythic antorus in 3 months if youre just now starting out on that character. its possible but not very likely. IF that is your goal though you probably want to go assassination
assassination most popular raiding spec by far
i checked warcraftlogs and saw assa is high on antorus but barely any seen on mythic+ ladder, does it still preform well in m+?
I'm going to first clear antorus with my guild on my warlock that i played before the hiatus, we're currently 9/11 so basically when my rogue is ready to pull his own weight i'll get it done on him aswell. no boosting. basically want to make it my (now alt, in bfa main) and i want it to carry itself forward
sub is best for m+
you can always clear antorus for a small fee of about 7M gold 😏
i got the mates to get it done for sure, but i want my rogue to actually do its part and not get boosted by others
If youre going to main rogue in BFA you're going to be playing all the specs so I'd just look at it from that perspective. Youre only limiting yourself if you choose a specific spec
i will for sure play atleast 2 speccs, but seeing as you have (2?) fast legendaries i'd like to aim for a "tricks of trade" specc first
well i mean if youre farming them you can be getting ~3 legendaries every 2 weeks from essences alone
i saw that sub is somewhat competetive in antorus but really strong in m+, so i was leaning towards that
sub really laggs behind assa on most bosses in antorus
That's true, but before i get the bis leggos etc what specc would be enough to carry itself aslong as it has a high enough ilvl?
im told the "sub boots" era is over for most speccs, is that true?
all three are about the same when it comes to needing legendaries. Youre not going to be doing very nice dps without a nice legendary set up regardless of ilvl.
alright, is the 2 legendary thingie for all 3 speccs btw?
like i said if you just want to do raids go sin. if you want to focus on m+ go sub. if you want to do both you need to really be looking at playing both and not just one.
so like after i get my first 2 from drops (not essences) i swap loot specc to 1 of the other 2 to get faster legendaries?
first 2 regardless of spec are higher % drop but still rng. the spec swap depends on what legendaries you get. if your first two are sin ONLY legendaries and you swap then you have a decent chance at getting a sub one quick. if you get a rogue wide legendary it resets all specs
ah alright
but the third legendary regardless is going to take longer than the first two
essences is your main source for legendaries
^
assuming you're min-maxing I would aim for getting the 3 every 2 weeks
ye for sure!
that requires youre doing RBGs and rated pvp too though
i recently started a feral druid, and about 3 out of 9 legos are from drops
i dont think i can do rbgs, but for sure can grind the 1500 honor in arenas
RBGs is quicker than arena imo just need 2 wins
if youre going for honor cap in both 2s and 3s its going to take a couple hours each week
my last rogue PVP exp was 2k on warmane's tbc server, which is totally different to live rogues. so i am nowhere close to beeing decent in legion just yet
RBGs can be done in like 20m
oh just 2 wins?
"if" you win ^^
might try that then
🤷 just dont lose lol
😄
i havent unlocked my assa weapons yet tho, i got a random dh invite me and boosted me from 107 to 110 xD
gotta get that and then i have all 3
i guess farming relic wq's is prio 1
thats if youre farming leggendaries lol if youre not willing to do the pvp then you dont want the lgendaries bad enough. IF hes really trying to get cutting edge in the next 3 months thats what hes going to need to do to min-max
assuming hes not getting carried
I never accept carry in actual lategame content, boosting lvls is fine imo 😛
since game is based around max lvl
@steep obsidian thats really dumb btw if you can't swap gear in m+ on beta
hopefully thats not a thing
i havent done any myself giggle
they disabled m+ in beta atm
i probably will next week
or when they open again
ahhh ok
it was probably something someone saw on stream
one of my friends mentioned it
i havent done any myself, but they removed the keystone socket in mythic dungeons
since you only got 300 gear from m+
yeah makes sense
they might tune stuff a little bit before worrying about proper focused + testing
although they doing raids
did they fixed zuldazar starting questline? or you still cant get the neck on beta right now?
idk, are you playing maghar orc?
my toon has the neck but can't upgrade it with the next part of the campaign
so i cant get enough ap to actually unlock traits on my good azurite piece
a lot of stuff is bugged as hell dunno if recreating fixes it all
the funny thing is, on mythic azerite armor you cant select any traits, they just require "0"
and the heroic pieces all require 16-20 or some shit
who is gonna farm so much on beta?
not fixed 😦
at least I already did that quest on my rogue, but I really dont want to play rogue on beta right now
yeah i sorta felt the same
im not sure if ill even bother to level another toon
i got a rogue to 115 before they wiped everything
i feel so ashamed that i got bfa beta invite 3 days after resubbing
i dont even know what is "new" since i've not played since 7.2
I suggest you not play live to save yourself all the disappointment
current patch is worse than 7.2 you mean or?
nah because your rogue will feel better on live until bfa comes out 😉 I'd just play bfa
oh, so its worse in bfa? 😮
isnt the new neck system the same thing as artifacts?
the neck is an artifact, and it gets artifact power, but it's not like legion artifacts
Hello was wondering if any1 could make me a weakaura for just rupture cant seem to get it right
okey thanks will have a look
best thing to do is just import one and fiddle
you will see how the basic ones work
monkaS
he hacked in a poison bomb button
question
is the lock shitting me when he gets a 940 gnawed and says he needs it but he is already using sephuz and a 960 ring
depends how bad his 2nd ring is that's not a leggo
check his 2nd ring
yes it could very possibly have the worst stats for locks. but its 960. he already left the group
time to check armory
there's few ocassions you don't run any leggo rings as a lock
so chances are he has a really shit ring somewhere
very few
but its 960. so i think the ilvl outweighs the stats
either way that 940 gnawed woulda replaced my 940 mastery vers
ur talking about that arcway ring right?
are you playing sub or sin
damn i thought u were playing sub
got confused
either way
that ring is far better for lock than it is for sin
so i can see why he kept it
wtf is all that blue in my assa chan?
in your ass?
Interesting to see d3 like meta come out of mdi
all the sub rogues deserting again
Like perma eye beam and fire mage do remind me of d3 ways
was wondering if someone could post stat weights cant find them anywhere 😦 not sure where to look
demon hunter, the new archon wizards
yes
i hate the white people here
i hate all people here
ops
now thats racist
Ik Blindside is better when only used on procs. but between Master poisoner and Blindside which one is btter right now
Is assa fun to play on beta?
nothing is fun to play on beta
Arms is
im not talking class design
too much inputlag for me, so i feel like i cant tell how the flow of the spec is
using wrong spells sometimes, horrible uptimes etc
I like it
whats the different between bloodbuild and poison? is it just the opener? 
it's not so bad.
Buy better keyboard
nice meme
sooo no one answered my question
because i dont know mate
Ty
i think master poisoner is better, but dont take it as gospel
and I will assume exsang is going to be better with a lot of haste
maybe, could lead to a ton of overcapping
idk why you think thats funny
BFA is 💩
well thats pretty funny
considering no class tuning has been made
and most numbers for most classes are not official
and most of them will change
so every spec is fine, because it can just be tuned
there will be changes to the numbers no doubt
#ConsoleGame
so simming anything right now is pretty irrelevant
well he said he read sims for blindside
that is an DPS loss vs not picking it
so its about numbers am i wrong
There's no fixing bfa
all im saying that simming right now is pitty because the numbers might change
and what looks like shit on sim right now may be our go-to talent when bfa is released
then we can praise the ability when its not shit
but that isnt the situation right now
So what u are saying is that TC'ing rn is pointless
beta is to test stuff and tell them if its shit or not
i havent said anything about TC
you said simming is useless
lol
this guy needs lad
my guild wants to do timewalking stead of mythic raiding lol
lmao
guess im not raiding tomorrow
blizz pls we dont want new raids just make more TW of old raids
bt tw is awesome, can't wait to do it on 7 alts
not worth it, for a normal item and a AP seal
I was helping out guildies
i wiped on supremus for 1h
it would've been fine for gearing an alt
and group disbanded
did you pug, how do you even wipe in BT TW
I'm both offended and amused
how do you say more dots

when i had german in school i couldnt say a single sentence, but somehow nailed the accent no problem
and dungeons, you get stun locked for like 15 seconds in some
let the plebs cry
pfft raggy was just finding 3 top healers and bdks
I remember tanking mimiron before they fixed his pathing tho
wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy, wazon
think just normal level just seems easier coz class toolkits have expanded since then
The scaling in TW isn't so dramatic that there are not things that won't just murder you though.
Hey guys. Just a quick question. Does the poison build have a Mastery cap? I'm at 199% now, Stat Weights still puts it slightly ahead of crit even though i only got 23%.
No
So, just stack more Mastery as long as my stat weights tell me to?
And Top Gear sim.
The build gets easier to play on higher ilvl due to mutilate crits and >30% crit stat
Assuming you wear mantle already, it's the reason your crit is dumped
Yea, Mantle+Bracers
there you go
Go go mastery, at my max I had like 223%
there's a point where crit edges out if you only have mastery/vers off pieces but not by much but in practice I've found it much more enjoyable with more crit at the cost of some mastery
Alright. Thanks guys!
@dusty hull just answering here since you cant discuss things in-depth in that other channel
people use sub in mdi because its consistent burst aoe and those teams are playing into the strengths of sub by pulling extra mobs on the boss to abuse shuriken storm > finisher for big dick ST dps
since you cant abuse sub like this in raids, sin pulls ahead
l o l
I can get behind the idea of Sin -> long fights, Sub -> short fights because ondemand burst is really nice, and DoTs are best when they can tick forever, but where is the cut when mobs live long enough in M+ for Sin to be better ?
what have i done
i can accept that
@dusty hull you cant really pack it in like that, you have to realise that rogues m+ dps is kinda limited because we dont have consistent trash aoe like monks
just use more poison bombs looooooooooooool 4Head
so the strengths of both specs are
sub: big ST dps if your team can help you abuse the finishers and on a one-time use aoe cd
sin: big ST dps with more potential aoe dps than sub if you get lucky
ct would be cool on live
I am just trying to find the right spec for the remaining few months so I can feel good going into BfA since I am doubtful of Blizzard's RNG getting any more favorable towards players joining late
^
^
^
try all 3 and pick the one that gives you most satisfaction
^
Imma go reroll
do it binch
Fite me irl
I leveled a rogue from 1 to 110 as Outlaw (alliance) didn't like it, switched to horde some 6 months back, leveling as sub from 1-60 then used my pre order bonus 😄 I have been 110 since friday, playing sub.
@dusty hull im just trying to say that the "best" dps spec will be dependent on your team as much as you
I will try out Sin a few days, but it's going to be painful with no relics or AP again XD
yes
bis talent
but goremaw doesnt even bite the enemies ankles
yeah, I legitimately think that goremaws bite is a likely possibility
I think shadow reflection is another
cause akaari's shadow
theres no way they take away dfa and give goremaw like talent in return
its just not possible
master of goremaws pog
Werps
which words
the R word

^^ its okay. now you know
removed it
wow tysm!
np my lvoe
xoxo

is it normal that boots + insigna is simmed higher than boots bracer in poison build for me ?
Question, whats the best horde race for rogue? overall pve
pretty minimal difference
you wont notice it in dps
you should pick one you like
also BfA changes racials and scalings
Belf currently
go for cosmetics/utility m8
was belf racial changed
ye
or is it in bfa
hmm yeah im split with nightborne or be
yeah, but nightblade
nightborne because they are cooler
i actually sim higher as nightborne for some reason
@rose ember just pick whatever you like most
its really not important in terms of dmg
but then you dont get the sweet nightborne heritage armor
i dont like nightborne that much
u wot
i wish horde got iron dwarf
imo
nightborne fits in alliance better than in horde
how dare you have opinions
maybe but tyrande told them to h*ck off
tyrande is a b
hope she dies in bfa
lmao
i dont like whta they did with her in legion
especially how she reacted to illidans letter
or message
cold b
that was pretty uncharacteristically heinous of her
i understand malfurions 'whatever' about illidan
but her?
did blizzard forget about wc3
wops i need to delete it
oh I should change mine too.
illidan forever trapped in the friendzone
for ten thousand years
he's been reincarnated as a giant frog in nazmir
illidan is a panda

@ moderators
thanks gagglebrush
traitor
hit him with the ban hammer giggeeeeellll

do it NOW
Liavre next in line to be mod imo
thanks boo
angry bird mod 
this is tyrande's fault
it is my goal to become mod so I can ban all pandas from ravenholdt

Quick question about the builds. I am sure legendaries need some working around, but since I have none shrug. I am guessing the Bleed Build from the Pins is optimized for high end raiding, whereas Poison builds are more/equal at lower i lvls, or how close are the two builds ?
poison build
bleed build is much harder to gear for
poison build has a lower average dps, but not by much at like 980 ilvl
but it can do better
cause poison bomb swings it more
for m+ don't even think of bleed build
okay, thanks 😄 (i was secretly looking for a reason to play poison build because i like it more)
only use shoulder and bracer ( zoldyck)
yeah but for example on bigpulls how to optimized burst dmge
you don't lol
you can equip aoe trinket IF you really want burst
just pray pb procs
that's about it
uhmmm for example what trinket ? i only use Shadow-Singed Fang and Golganneth's Vitality
😰
keep those unless you happen to have a very high ilvl engine of eradication or a mastery statstick
stats: crit 28%, haste 4% , mastery 223% , versa 12%
statprio for trash-dps is mastery>versa>crit>agi>haste
so you got pretty good stats
just try to maintain high envenom/virulent poisons uptimes while rupturing enough to be able to use abiltiies every gcd without running out of energy
what is the name poison bomb add on write th chat
that in itself is decent enough aoe, if you get a bombproc or two you can keep up with some of the good aoe classes
if you end up using aoe trinkets you're gonna gimp your overall aoe anyway so you might as well just pray for pb
theres no way youre ever going to beat a monk or bumkin tho
but if you use aoe trinkets on low keys sure that'll work
yeah
im running 20% crit for aoe, 40% for singletarget
crit is heavily devalued in an aoe setting since youre capping energy all the time anyway, atleast on bigger packs
so yeah, your gear is looking good, maybe get another vers/mastery ring instead of the kingaroth one, and just pay attention to your buff uptimes
Ssf and golganeth for ST . ; nexo + golganeth for aoe
youre never going to be able to pull crazy numbers on aoe
but thats not your job anyway, so yeah
id generally suggest playing mantle+boots for singletarget
so youre not locked into delaying vendetta just so it lines up with the execute
or even move away from mantle entirely so you can use vanish on trash instead of bosses
how viable these options are depends heavily on your non-legendary pieces
but with that gear you can easily do 20+ keys
ty vm
So simming leggos, is it legit to just play what's higher dps with those?
I've been running wrist shoulder, but I just simmed wrist boots and it's a decent bit higher
But I'm SCARED of not having my shoulder buff I've had it so long. Lol...
high crit for ST / only raid and low crit + more mastery + more versa for aoe
so mantle+boots for st and mantle+wrists for aoe?
@marble hemlock I really hope they push a penalty for large pulls in bfa m+. 5mobs is our avg prob. And the stun chains that allow 20x are silly.
But with anything they do, will be ways to cheese it.
Going back to the TBC days in terms of threat would do wonders for that very problem
That a BDK can grip everything, gtfo and still keep aggro after 20 seconds is banjo
What's the problem of big pulls?
nerds
@lone junco part of that is the mobs just blindly chasing someone who is 40 yards away instead of doing other things i think they worked on the ai to not do that, trash in bfa dung seems to have a lot of dangerous abilities that work together too lots of self buffs and things interacting with other things or the environment to kill you
it feels like they designed more with m+ in mind this time but the way scaling works we porbalby will still see big pulls at some point
Inb4 half of the mobs are immune to stuns and slows
Hey is there a mod or someone that can talk to me about my logs thoroughly
Post them here
Just post the logs and someone will rip em apart eventually.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/caelestrasz/Acero if anyone willing to tell me what im doing wrong and how to improve, much appreciated
proc more poison bomb
lol
envenom dropping under kingsbane, not using kb on cd, 2nd vanish only 2 envenoms, 2nd pot after 2nd vanish
(garothi)
to simplify that pool energy more you are spamming your buttons that isnt how sin plays most of the time
you are just spamming away all your energy when there is no point to
Hello, already got beta. Whats Your feelings about Assa in bfa so far?
Outlaw currently feels way better
Hmm its due to stats scale?
both feel insanely slow but i only tried it at 110 and shit stats
From a M+ point of view im interested to see how strong having nightstalker/mfd/crimson tempest on the start of every pack will play out
Nightstalker hardly adds anything to that combo
I see, I thought the damage would snapshot on crimson tempest, or are you saying the damage is too low on that ability for +50% to matter?
CT has an intial hit
so in AoE you would just spam fok and CT
the Nightstalker snapshot isnt strong enough to beat just spamming fok and CT
What's the cd on CT or does it not have one
it doesnt have cd
that's a good point, I hadn't thought of that
Would the bleed snapshot though? Or just the initial hit?
my thinking was nightstalker buff the CT, then put rupture a few targets and then refresh CT at the end of the 12 seconds
I just tested it, looks like the bleed snapshots
let me double check
I dont actually know, i'd assume only the intial hit
Like let's say they change numbers, reduce the initial hit by a lot
would use the Nightstalker
It would be interesting to see the interaction
it could just treat it as 1 spell
ticking for 270, 400 if i use it from stealth
intial hit + bleed
so it is snapshotting currently
Well there we go
I like it with elaborate planning too
Elaborate planning seems fantastic with AoE
too early to say right now - since sub is missing 2 talents, but i might just jump on the sin train for m+ in bfa 😄
doubt there is anything that can fix sub at this point
im hopeful that dfa will be made baseline (or a variant of it) and the two new talents offer something competetive
Yeah, no single spell. It's gonna take atleast a couple changes to make sub fun
problem is that theres nothing else you can spend your CP on that would be better for aoe than just spamming CT
so the ns+ct snapshot doesnt really matter
you reckon spreading a few ruptures out at the wouldn't be worth it?
I mean to be fair, numbers can be changed
at the start*
well rn
the intial hit is 1/3 of the bleed
to make NS CT worth
they would literally need to remove the intial hit
obviously numnbers can be changed, but as it stands right now, theres no opportunity cost to spamming CT
sure, you could rupture a few mobs instead, but thats not going to be even close to competitive dps-wise to just spamming CT, atleast in aoe situations with like 5+ mobs
But at some point the initial hit would hit less than a rupture
So you snapshot ct and start multidotting
now, im not exactly sure on how energy regen looks like in aoe situations on beta right now, so having a few ruptures for energy sustain might be necessary to optimize aoe dps
well, comparing rupture to anything id always consider it to be a 5cp rupture ticking full duration, and the player has to decide whether that is actually going to be the case
but as you said, the pack doesnt have to be incredibly large for CT to be the sole finisher youll be using
not with the numbers being tuned like they are right now
they could remove part of the initial hit and just move that into the dot
you do get the buff
but im not exactly sure if that would be a good thing
perhaps
say what you will, but the current aoe playstyle is a lot more fun than just spamming fok, fok, ct, fok fok, ct
I mean as little as it is, the dot scales with haste and I don't think the initial hit scales with anything
Except agi
vers, agi
not sure if the ap scaling on the dot and initial hit are the same
but yes, there might be a point where the dot part gets boosted by secondaries enough to be better than the initial hit
but again
what else are you going to spend your CP on?
if the dot becomes stronger, nothing changes
They could sort out the problem by adding a much higher agi scaling to the dot
its not about the CT dot
That way it's solid for levelinhg
you get that either way
theyd have to significantly buff envenom/rupture
so we want to incorporate it into our aoe rotation between CT uses
as in, we just maintain CT dot and multi-rupture
changing the CT dot would not lead to any of that
it would just make it feel even worse
to constantly refresh the ct dot pre-pandemic
(assuming it pandemics in the first place)
it does
so yeah
as it stands right now, wed be spamming fok and ct for aoe, with nothing else weaved in there
pop vendetta on a high prio target and melee it while we spam those 2 spells
I forgot about melees
and maybe, just maybe, put a rupture on it aswell
And how hard they're hitting right now
whats the energy regen like on beta right now? is it even possible to spam fok, or do we have significant wait-times in an aoe situation (5+ mobs)
its pretty bad
def cant just spam
non stop
and this was in raid testing
so 330ilvl
not sure on the numbers right now, whats the energy regen on rupture tick?
7
7?
so yeah... maybe theres a chance multi-rupturing may be worthwhile to be able to spam more fok/ct
