Also 10% is so low
10% is the general goal for M+, stacking Crit and Mastery instead.
^
oh good to know ๐ฎ
WHY does blizz nerf shit all the time ๐ฆ
I've been going for raid stats I guess
Because SS was too far ahead.
10% is high for m+
Ew, i much preffer just going 20 for bosses
On aoe you literally need 0
I mean low M+ do whatever you want > _>
really?
I'm done here lol, bunch of <300 score LFR heroes who legit believe that scent of blood is a good choice kek
by 40%?
kek kek kek kek kek kek
yeah in my raids I get decimated by sin rogue with 17% haste but I decimate him in m+ with 11% haste
On a high key it has potential imo
scent? no, it doesn't
mmm so, any idea what top traits are now?
have fun mate, you'll get to the acceptance stage after denial
The more mobs you have and the longer they live the less haste matters
shit dies in the duration of a rupture or your group is garbage
On a 13?
ty Miz
Doubt
when is NA reset?
yes, on a 13
Werent you just bragging doing above +2?
6 hrs
gee, i'm bummed i don't do low keys anymore for shit to die in the duration of a single rupture
Damn ur nuts my dude killing huge packs in 20s always
@bright vessel Was wondering the same thing. But given the Uldir nerfs and SS nerf, was wonderign if SB and DD might be worth stacking or at least using 1 or 2 of
Weak he was shitting on everyone else for not being UberPlayers.
He himself, is the best person in this channel atm.
man outlaw chat wasnt this wild when deadshot got nerfed
I'm actually amazed at how bad you guys seem to be if you actually think that mobs taking longer than 30 seconds to kill is normal

A person of such knowledge that speaking out against him should result in you being struck down by divine retribution.
did you ever do any 10+ key mate
I wonder where the line in trolling is in our rules
hahaha
@thorn timber your knowledge OF heroic dungeons doesnt apply to us ma dude
When it comes to straight up ban
this entire conversation started because I came in here asking other people for their opinions, @civic palm. you were the one who called me a FOTM reroller and to shut up and wait for sims
wow rykham is such a bad troll
Just check is post history Weak.
I'm putting my trust in Mizerok tbh
because it's pretty clear it is
It's telling.
@thorn timber Enoughs enough now. Knock it off. I'll only say it once.
no no i'm pretty sure "rupture not worth it to cast on more than 3 mobs per pack" was the reason
wow @sudden brook I'm not sure how much faster those goalposts can move? First a high key was an 8, then it was a 12, now it's a 15?
Ive just been quiet
I mean assuming every pack jusr insta dies in a 12 is a good meme
Rykhan equipped Mantle of the Victim.
Surely SS still can't be that bad for M+ when the nerfs roll in?
since when is an 8 a high key
@solid nova I'm not even trolling? I'm legitimately trying to have a discussion and people are having a go at me
Since 10 is the cap for highest chest ilvl
First and only warning
Leave Rykhan alone
@ rykhan you are not adding anything of value to the discussion
Chats a mess as it is, dont contribute further
@dawn wraith lmao w/e man, sorry about it. just let these other guys keep piling on me though because that seems fair?
Drop the bait conversation. It's not to be discussed further
oka
@thorn timber If you want to @ me, my dms are open.
Will do.
They are regulars so its allowed
@daring imp you forget he rolls with top .01% m+ and is in the invatationals all the time
I forgot to bring my popcorn
We tend to not want the Discord to go to shit.
anyone got some to share?
๐ฟ
๐ฟ ๐ฟ ๐ฟ
Fuck I fucking hate the shitty stupid Azerite system
there you go
๐ฟ
I have plenty to share
that nerf triggered people so much
Regular or not, no one is exempt.
I'm more interested in what new traits they have to offer over the old ones
Not even mad about the nerf, it was needed for SS.... but I spend weeks farming the best traits and they get nerfed and back to square 1, fuck you blizzard
i mean it was expected to get nerfed just surprised by how much
We should all calm down, because we are not WW monks today.
to be fair , you could expect it to be nerfed @fierce ingot
My ss traits just sort of fell onto my lap. I'm just salty I don;t have any azerite peices with DD on them
they should have nerfed the trait to 1 combo point on top of it
i have my double dose set waiting to go just for this nerf occasion
Yes I expected a nerf
Sucks to lose dps as already weak prog spec
feelsgood
It's still a stupid shorty system
Bench time continues
Shitty* lol
Enjoy the bench
I'm at 1 Shroud, 1 Lazer, 1 throwing knives
the core azerite system is just garbage atm
you can try and slay ghnnng in the mean time benching
it's expected yes, but there is still bug there, and no good way to farm other azerite pieces.
i think sharpened blades > double dose
When looking at "new" traits remember that Thunderous Blast and Laser Matrix were nerfed as well, so the top few targets have been shifted a little.
yeah
Youll never use sb either
dagger in the back lets go
double dose remains unaffected
go safe, x3 Dagger in the back
we will see in the sims I guess
Cause you would want 3
And you have to use one uldir
Wait, LM and and TB were nerfed too?
yes
yes
sharpened blades is also flexible
God damn.
30 and 35%
i have a 385 sharpened blades and a 370 one, that's my piece of happiness
damn, not bad
Ggwp!
waiting for sims ๐
People actually want poison knife in their rotation?
no
I reckon 1 SB and 2 DD will be the go to now
No
need 1 uldir trait
Why would someone toss a knife when you're stabbing it? Makes no sense 
My general guess is you want 1 SS for the CP gain, 1 uldir trait, and 1 of whatever you can get
Meh even 1 trait sometimes sims higher then some others, what are you supposed to do then, not take it?
well i think i should have a scrapped one on item restoration lul
Then 1 uldir trait and 2 dd
One ss is likely staying good
it's a pity poison wire is so garbo
i got a plethora of azerite gear. im sure i could mix and match a set.
tbh at this rate I'll just sin on vectis stick with 2x SS
I am curious if aott buff is meaningful
One uldir one what ever
they should really be resetting reforging costs with these nerfs
the basically guaranteed mut crit after garrote would be nice
It still looks like SS/DD and Twist are good @ 1 stack.
Where i can find info about ss nerf official ine?
how often do you reroll traits so that you need a reforg reset lol
i used it......2x since the expac is out
I mean the 40% is not bad. It still be worth taking 1 or 2 if u are that unlucky
i like trying shit out.
wait you want to try builds
well some people like to try oujt differenct specs
you do it a lot
try out builds?
some people dont just choose one fotm spec and stick with it
back to the day sim says is snake shit
you can't sim feelcraft
I got raidbots permium because it was cheaper than tokens for azerite regforges
feelcraft has no place in here
^]
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
@dapper moat mmo champion should have it
well if builds are simming in their close margin, you'll have to see what build feels better for you/you can play better
This place is nothing but bad feelcraft
guys i am still confused about that SS bug
Does it mean that, when there are 4 enemies and i apply SS garrote on 3 of them that those 3 garrotes lose the SS bonus damage when I apply garrote on a fourth target?
sim says sb traits are best for sub. but so clunky
@indigo goblet you shouldn't care anymore
There's only bad feelcraft
Why that
because the trait is ded
@indigo goblet yes, if 4th is unbuffed
You need 1 uldir trait
Yeah that's obvious.
i'm even more confused now xD
@indigo goblet but you could vanish and apply again to rebuff all ticking ones
so what class are u guys rolling? dh? mage?
Already wlock main
LM and Archive might be close O _O
i dont have that kind of luck. no uldir azerite
next ded class
Well LM is dog
@small island enhancement
Wait. Was away a week. What are they doing to rogue?
Roll mage if you want to have another chat warming up the bench your rogue is sitting on
Unless st

I gaveaway an archive last raid because it was better for someone else with how bad it was
ye i know phot
i was just confused about the bug itself
actually i never apply garrote on more than 3 targets
why is SB out of consideration i dont understand
LM ST by item level post nerf is ending up near Archive.
u need 3 of them for it to be good
@dry void the more you have it the more it is worth it to cast poisoned knife
@indigo goblet basically, the bug acts as if we pandimic refreshed a buffed garrote on all targets when there are buffed ones ticking and vice versa
and you don't want it to be "a bit worth it", you want it to be "god damn worth it"
Just Vanish for three more Garrote ezpz > _>"
@indigo goblet basically, the bug is, if you garrote a target outside of stealth while you have a stealth buffed garrote on 1+ targets running, the buffed garrotes will lose their multiplier
Just vanish 
Anyone got tips for fetid mythic today
imma see if nightstalker vanish poisoned knife is worth something ๐ข
Been stuck on it for 3 days
Don't die
in theory you can have 7 buffed garrote ticking on 7 targets
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation

GL Horde > _>
o o f
@rich magnet if the gcd allows it
wtf is blizzard doing, they could have at least fixed the ss bug
Nerf the damage was more important
but nerfing it so no one wants it is way easier for them
Who cares about bugs
It's not a bug, it's a feature
heh
one thing though, azerite gear i think we can all agree is pretty poor ๐ BUT the dunegons they releiased with BFA are great
That troll
M+ is so fun atm
Still feels like im playing on the beta
live btw
O _O
agree m+ is fun
MMOs are ever-changing, nerfs and buffs are going to happen.
beta for azeroth?
dungeon designs are so good
@hard plaza its gonna be fun being behind tank on damage tomorrow
Bugs will happen in anything complex.
Bring back CM's
๐
lol
hit boxes are clunky in dungeons
m+ is only fun when you aren't getting trolled, lost 3 10s today because healer or tank trolled and quit at start
yikes
battle of demon hunters
When will be SS nerfs affected by te nightly build via raidbots.com?
gotta see if i will be playing sub st, assa mt duh
cause he couldnt be fucked
time to panic switch trait
when are you supposed to use exsang other than in the opener?
on cd, unless vandetta is coming of cd
when garrote and rupture is at max benefitable uptime
kk ty
i mean, garrote like 20+ rupture 25+
freshly applied rupture with vanished garrote and vendetta
i am doing some m+ with it right now just to see how much dps i was missing out on lool
outlaw main
@indigo goblet exsang will be used 1 more time before next vanish pops up
ikr
i wish there was a way to avoid combat reset when hitting dummies. can't get an accurate dps reading with that
what does the SS nerf mean for exsang though, does it push TB ahead
Soo.. after the shrouded suffocation nerf.. What is the best now?
w8 for sims
soom (tm)
when you are out of opener go for mutilate(as you have 2cp+) > vanish > garrote > rupture > garrote > envenom
@wintry compass you will have to sim yourself and see
wait, instead of fixing it, they nerfed it?
dont panic!!
i suggest you to panic
for me exs wasn't much a gain with my gear in the first place but higher haste means different things
so, now that SS gets nerfed by down to 40% are there any other good perks to use instead? finally got done farming for 3xSS so i'm fucking annoyed to say the least
im pretty sure they left the bug too
you will be likely -10k on opener
For me it looks like sharpened blades will be the best for pve atleast. According to bloodmallet

#tc-research aethys suggested some traits
fuck sharpened blades.. such a boring trait.. its probably gonna push double dose up.. since thunderous blast got nerfed aswell
nerf SS. not even fix the bug. I woudlnt expect much more from blissard at this point
time for enevenom trait with crit mastery stacking
which bug
SS has not been nerfed without us knowing whether or not the bug has been fixed.
All these BFA traits r so fun and engaging ๐
DD with MP and TB could be a thing I guess
Put away the dagger you plan on stabbing people with > _>
i guess outlaw and sub will be forward on sims now
why owuld it suck koczan ๐ฎ
my guess is archive and lm will be on par so either lm/archive and 2 dd for raids
as long as you dont loose your stacks its not bad.
it could be good when executing boss mechanics
Snake eyes build on outlaw will be the best
SS was great, it changed your opener and made aoe garrote godtier. Don't really want to run boring passive traits
you move, you throw poisoned knife
but tbh, assa doing better opener than sub? that was crap\
.. lets be honest - the nerf was needed, the trait was way above all
the first time vendetta comes off CD after opener, should you use on CD or wait a few seconds for vanish to come up? ravenholdt guide isn't super clear
Atleast i can farm all the m0s tonight and then again tomorrow after reset before raid I guess
assa was op
40% doe?
40% might be a bit too much, its still gonna perform good anyway tho
when i pull like 60k on zul opener what are we talking about
Nerf was needed but now sin is ded 
50k on ghuun so duh
and most lilkely stay on top, because other traits are just straight badยง
@cedar anchor instead of constantly nerfing the good traits to the ground, why not buff the less favourable ones instead?
still gonna be good for m+ most likely
could they atleast buff the other shitty traits we have tho
why oh why do they keep nerfing traits and they neglect our other traits thats garbage tier
because other classes couldn't pull 60K on zul opener...?
40% down from 80% is f'ing huge
Rogues not allowed to be top dps
for example, if you take a look at other classes.. their top trait is usaaly the universal one, not their class specific one
whys sin chat full of sub/outlaws
atleast in the same patch buff other trait and nerf the strong ones instead of just nerfing one and leaving the shit trait the way they are
which all just leads into one point -> bad azerite design
Because i play both outlaws and sin
cus we all rerolled sin after the outlaw and sub nerf ๐
๐ค
Design is fine, the initial balance was shit.
hopefully they fix all that shit in next big patch
I don't know HOW they thought it was OK, but at least they are trying to fix it.
exactly
omg
@misty hemlock lol its not 40% from 80
you are all so dumb or what
jokes on you, sin is life, i aint gonna switch just because they try too balance the trait lol
you were fucking 20k ahead at opener and you think that was fine
^ that
Yeah SIN is pretty set after the nerfs.
exaaactly
40% is fine
is tru tho what alacrity said
dont tell em
they even buffed a hunter trait by 400%.. its times like this you KNOW they have no clue wtf they are doing 
ss was just broken, its funny how yall cry tho
3x garrote too top dps is fine dont you know
feels like i got moderated
I can now finally compete on the meters with our tanks and feral
yeah the hunter trait needed a 400 buff, it was abysmal
so if anything it might be in line with other top traits now
Also not nerfing the GIANT NAIL that was SS and buffing a bunch of GENERIC traits would be a fucking nightmare.

it was the only reason we were doing well?
POG
no reason to cry or migrate to dh right away
and if you only buff stuff and never nerfe other things you get a power creep
but go ahead and gtfo if all you do is cry
Nerf the trait but buff something else
We might get an aura buff to compensate of things are too low though.
time to play hunter
assa doesnt need a compensation buff, its still gonna be really strong
@strange python idk wich kind of weed you smoke, but i allready did the same dps as sub/outlaw BEFORE they got nerfed and with only 1x ss
We could get that 4% back > _>"
So PvP-wise.. Im guessing Twist the knife or Scent of blood stacking?
@civic palm you talk like whole spec was 50% nerfed
i dont know.. 40% of my single target dmg was garrote with 2 SS traits.. i wonder how my dmg is gonna be now 
Is this really a big nerf? My SS trait says it does 400 extra damage...so now it will only be 240 extra damage? Doesn't seem too big of a difference, am I missing something?
ye
you would think that after 15 years of balancing, that wouldn't have happened
anyway time to enjoy last m+ before ss hits and i might not top every dungeon from that point on ๐
you garrote damage is not like 50% of dps from traits
ss is still gonna be really strong in M+
Ppl thinking that ss nerf will make them do as much dps as tank
LUL
xd
@high siren yes thats what is running through my mind
people cry like its a 40%overall dmg nerf and we are bettwen holy priest and restro druid dps wise now lol
we sharpened blades now bois
then you see 400% or even 50% adjustments
Am I gonna be forced to play this fuckin' sharpened blades bs now
when sub was nerfed fod shadowstrike trait and 5% overall that was a reason to cry
just wait till it comes out of beta before complaining lmao
no
I bet disc can actually out dps sin now
cause it made 80% of subs switch to assa
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uWtup7hpLi1uf1sEjJ8BeN haste in front of agi wtf?
just like me, +1.2k more dps on sim
@true thistle Nah just one of our large damage contributors, and getting that 4% back would mean that we were that much behind on their intended RaidDPS scaling.
Fuck..just move from outlaw..got 370 SS heroic chest last night..today i got nerfed
^ lul
@dusky tiger its been that way forever for me
@dusky tiger I sim haste > crit > agi
welcome to beta for azeroth
1 shrouded suffocation 2 sharpened blades meta ๐
dead spec
was reset already for na?
holy priests beat u in damage now
How do you guys weight stats when the wow armory takes forever to update gear?
/simc
Simulationcraft.
simc
sb garbage withoout trple stack
ss trait wil be in met astill
they honstely should let us pick pvp chest reward again
Doesn't simcraft pull stats from the armory as well?
Actually it seems like it's better to go 2x SS and 1 uldir trait? Atleast I sim better with it
i just need to know if i wanna run 3x ss for m+ after the nerf, or include some other traits like SB
nope @stiff geode
good thing i have my bank filled with 340 azerite armors for a rainy day..
in M+ u probably still want 3 SS
in m+ you wanna run sub.
nah
sub is weak in higher keys
sim to be sure what traits you need
Sin is king in m+
the best rogue spec for M+ is comp/gear dependant
Wait, did they Nerf assa?
@spring prawn why tho
mut pops off in higher keys when things don't just fall over
@stiff geode download the addon
if you need funelled ST, then sub is obviously what your team need
am i seeing this right, the 40% nerf to SS makes it worse than some of the boring ass generic traits? how the fuck does blizz think it's great and fun to have spec specific unique traits be worse and those stupid generic passive ones?
its extremely comp/key dependant
padding LUL
Prio dmg just get vendetta up lmao
sub is great at low keys but higher keys it falls off on sustained dps
on m+ environment it is all about overall damage
No respect for outlaw here 
@misty hemlock yep

outlaw?
Assa> sub in m+ cause of specific affixes and because of SS.
becasue we are kings
what is outlaw
and they know it
yeah but vendetta is a 2min cd, where as sub can do it pack tp pack. I run mut in m+ anyways because our team needs the cleave
@strange python Ahh I see, thanks
even without ss, sin > sub on high keys
snek >>> sin & sub
Does raidbot take the ss nerf ?
you will see
sin = slows/multidot, outlaw = cleave, sub = priority damage
even tho snek is not the best for uldir
SS nerf isnt live yet?
it depends on what ur comp needs
one more hotfix and all subs and sins to outlaw xD
blissard be like "rogue rank 1? nerf." dh close? "doesnt matter, plebs complaining about rogues"
wait for the NA reset i think
ss nerf is live
but dh wasnt close
it is?
rogue was WAAY better in M+ than dhs
"Ah, more of that Blizzard Brand Tuningโข where you nerf the hell out of the strong instead of just buffing the weak. People were taking traits like Thunderous Blast mostly because the class-themed alternatives were garbage by comparison. But instead of making those weaksauce traits more desirable by buffing them, I guess it's easier to just break the legs of the better traits. I'm not sure why I'm so surprised though, this has largely been Blizzard's "balance" methodology for years." so true....
๐ค
@sudden brook send me ur rio.
damage they were close but utility rogue wins out errday
what does my rio have to do with anything rofl
alot.
hero dmg not updated but nightly build is for new azerite nerfs?
Got 2 DH on a m+ run the other day jumping around my screen. Almost gave me nausea ๐
He is stuck in 5's
@spring prawn what is your score?
MonkaS
there were a 64 rogues at 15+ and 33 havocs at 15+
only 1k, but i dont have a group, so pug 1k pretty decent :P
does rio tell people how many keys you have left lol
not much time for running m+'es
ofc it does
fml i hate blizz leaderboard/rio for putting a few of my best runs as "unknown" and not register that shit
rio tells people if you have ilvl
if were talking pure volume there are way more sins than there are havocs at high keys
or you know stuff
Please dont tell me theyre gonna force me to play fuckin sub or outlaw again braindead specs
whos forcing you
๐ค
braindead spec sub?
guy. what do you not understand.
said sin XD
oh c'mon sstorm on 5+ packs isn't exactly what you can call not brainded @_@
dude sub is legit 111211121112112111211121111211112112
no
garrote 40% of damage, other specs are braindead 
Tbh sub is way harder to play
lol
click
damn boy
Sub is actually brain dead spec
sub is sooooooooooooooo boring
but like, all 3 specs are kinda easy af to play tho
greetings to the guy who tried to argue yesterday that SS wont get nerfed 
There's no hard specs tbh
It's not. I'm playing assa myself at the moment. But sub is not an easy spec for sure
its about mastering
arcane hardest spec
sub isnt harder.. it just requires you to not fuck up those few gcds that have to be executed properly every 20sec or w/e
Sub not braindead? SS SS EVISC SS SS EVISC --------------- LETS CHANGE IT UP ----- BS BS BS BS EVISC BS BS BS BS
wtb traits that changes play style.. pls
Arcane hardest LUL
assa is tab garrote tab garrote tab garrote
Lemme master that 112112112 sub gameplay
we can shit talk the other specs all day and figure out whats easiest if we want
4head
start counting autoatacks in your rottation as sub
arcane is harder then all rogue specs lol
so we can talk about sin being hard
@sudden brook probably not anymore seqLUL

managing shadow techniques isn't easy lol
play what you want and run those 5's ^
i wanna play combat for my 5% hit rating ty
I just wanna play what puts me top of dps chart. easy or not 
So what's the thought on BiS for PvE traits now then? Scent of Blood? Double Dose?
^
but maybe.. just maybe.. when we see the sims.. its not gonna be so bad with a 40% nerf to SS
yeah who even give a shit about which spec is better, and this ainโt the place to talk shit about the other specs seriously
SS for M+ unsure for raids
subterfuge
"my spec is better than yours"
without other bonuses
youre never gonna run DD on m+... and raids drop nothing... sooo
SS
Even with 40% nerf?
mines better tho
๐ฟ
ofc
Bring back tier sets FML this azerite ballache
@true thistle โno your spec is 1 buttonโ
when are you ever using mut in m+?
pretty sure even with 40% ur gonna run atleast 2 SS for m+
besides bossfights
if they fix the bug
u 100% want SS in M+ still
then even more sure
Okies. TY
ill run 2 ss and engineer helmet
its just stupid strong cleave
cuz its bonkers
I think as long as they don't remove the 2 CPs, 1 SS will always be an option
Why dont we all just play ww and taunt the boss for karma damage
I will laugh if the bug is still there even after a nerf
just play bm and turn monitor off
best thing is, they nerfed monks LUL
just reroll feral
roll ur fingers on 1-5
did they even fix the garrote bug
no
Nope
@dense blaze tbh I think it'll still be there
Bring legion affli back
so they were faster to nerf it than fix it when it wasnโt working for over a week, nice one
I don't think they are even aware of the bug tbh
stay safe people, sims are out soon-
its like the achievement on ghuun that tells you exactly the opposite of what you have to do
Has anyone told them lmao
i kept using 4+ garrote on trash since like forever.. and i had completly forgoten about the bug and was wondering why my dmg was so shit on 4 targets but better on 2 targets.. you would think they would have atleast fixed the bug before nerfing the trait
do you think we will use something like 1x ss for combo points on pull and then 1x twist the knife/double dose now for st?
imma go 3x sharpened blades meta
well you want at least 1 raid trait for the reorigination
they might still fix the bug
ranged rogue 
full patch notes are not out
this is so stupid, you grind and grind and grind for specific traits... so much time spent and they nerf it. First with sub and now with assa
gl with that when you can only use it 2x cus of the raid trait pal
narrator: they didn't fix the bug.
how were u grinding for traits
Unless you are grinding Heroics.
and only taking 2x sharpend blades is not that good
doing 8 dungeons
well, those cunts did it again; rathe than buffing shit traits they nerfed our only goo done
is not grinding lol
@royal lantern joke's on you, can't use raid trait if i never get lucky to drop it :thomkin:
(and they gonna nerf it 100 % too)
you do 3 mythics with the SS trait and you pray
thats a grind?
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
Because grinding in MMORPG is bad lol
so, what will be next favour trait of the week?

still after the helmet from shrine mythics.. even with 4 friends using leather.. still have not got the helmet
Hang on, so raidwise, sub will get ahead with shadow blades trait?
have you heard of our lord and saviour, tidal surge
Maybe.
yup
i would not say only
Best rogue spec is havoc now
Reroll
you're still gonna be good on aoe
reroll class is dead
dont overreact
sin aoe is sustained
@arctic agate 
ss just made us do burst aoe
crimson tempest boi
just reroll feral rogues dead
cus it was overtuned
our AoE is great in high level Mythics. horrible in low level mythics
where does ss chest drop ?
fetid
People complaining about the fact they nerfed SS, instead of buffing the other talents need to step outside of the rogue only bubble there sitting in. all 3 rogue specs are top 10 in m+ and raid atm. If they were to buff the lesser traits to bring up to part they would have to do that with ever singel trait in the game to match every other class.
Rogue is still going to out perform against most other classes in the game,
Just roll Feral, you won't be nerfed. 
MY issue is that they nerfed it without bug fixing
god bless thank you
for saying that
underrot is the SS chest
this is not the time for measured and steady reason
how the fuck can you justify a change to a trait and not fix the bugs surrounding it
it's time for abject horror and panic
Enhancement shaman. Nerf immune 
thanks
ok jesus
SIN hanging with the holy priests now
@magic thistle full patch notes arnt out yet
who knows if they fixed the bug
RIP
BUT MY TOP DPS 
it could just be stealth fixed, chill
that text was literally JUST the azerite changes, there will likely be plenty of other details in the patch
Look at unholy Dks
if u wanna complain
If thats true then id be fine with the changes
roll uh DK
imagine if they gonna hit sin with hammer too
you sure ellmo

yeah rogues are in an extremely favourable position, literally all 3 of the specs are very close and all competitive
Inc sin flat 5% damage nerf
is there even another spec that has this luxury
its the best class ive played in any expansion atm
There are no changes
closeness wise
Was SS really that great? It says it only causes Garrote to do like 400 addl damage, not a whole lot...
yes
per tick
Link the atch notes @strange python
Wait so there will be more tuning in the patch (like compensating ss nerf with a 5-10% flat buff or sth)? Didnt know that
People say that sin still has amazing aoe. Maybe I'm just bad - very possible - But I can't manage over 20k dps on every aoe pull now
warriors, dh and mages have no problem with that
SS was expected to get nerfed.
Ohhh per tick...wasnt that clear
@little frigate but ... the nerf isn't even in yet ...
@little frigate what traits are you using
Look. We knew it was gonna happen.
Noooo Fuuu........DEAD CLASS
i mean, 20k+ garrote ticks was bound to get nerfed
u could pull 30k+ easy in 3 target cleave
having garrote crit for 20k with 2 SS traits in vendetta.. was pretty nice
Just triple garrote with ss was enough to do 20k dps in aoe
im using 2 SS and 1 dagger in the back
i agree with aethys there, a nerf by ~25% would have been fine, they overdid it with 40%
sin shouldnt even be the burst aoe spec to begin with
^
its a dot spec doing 30k burst
and i neer had 20k garrote ticks, 15k crits yet
40% is a knee jerk nerf
๐
i assume the 40% root in m+
Tell that to affli before they nerfed it
I think for =<3 targets, 3x SS will still be best
sin was just op in m+
Deathbolt LUL
thats also my guess, they probably nerfed it by 40 to deal with M+
I like when people say what should spec do or what not
@hard plaza i dont see a bug fix so unless they stealth fix it its not here
40% with the nerf to TB and LM though?
There is none
25% would have put them closer but competing still.
Idk why you would listen to some random pleb
AOE # Cleave Garrote
Claiming class changes
time to reroll to dh
What race is best on alliance for raiding?
@magic thistle i didnt say there was one, i just said the full patch notes wernt out, so there could be more changes ๐
troll
Dwarf
Alliance raiding 
They are out?
WOW i've just seen 40% nerf to SS.. why?
Cant you read
was it that strong really?
ye
yes
Why? Really?
it was broken as hell
cuz rogues are #1 dps, nobody is allowed to be #1
The damage was per tick
3x garrote=24k dps->balanced
i am not trying to back up blizzards decision, but if you just looked at m+ statistics once you probably saw the issue
ss trait live on raidbots?
maybe we just need to be patient and the grand scheme down the line is that sin rogues are getting a better trait after the SS nerf 
LMFAO
yeah good joke
No, I agree thatn SS was broken. No doubt
that log is so funny
@vestal wren if they fix the Empowerment bug how much DPS is made up having the 4th Garrote?
but 40% ?
what else gets a blanket 40% nerf
what
to something
Monk gets a 55% neff
they didnt get a blanket nerf
yes iirc 25% seemed to make it in st still be extremely good
monks just got a 55% nerf to a trait
You rly think they will fix the bug? LoL
hehe ye monk was rly huge too
@civic palm iv played around with the bug alot.. and having 4 garrote not empowered was like 8k dps vs 3 empowered garrote that was 20k +
but i talked about that in #wow-general some days ago
@vestal wren donโt you dare be logical and level headed, we want mindless speculation and misinformed outrage
I am not talking about during the bug.
To be fair, monk trait literally broke their spec
the monk nerf was because it broke the class
having the 4th garrote means you gain DPS you would not have due to the bug.
Will the bug be fixed now?
yes
lol
monks with 3x the trait never even used fist of fury, just rising sun kick cus it did so much dmg
i hope they fixed ss bug
it litearly broke the class cus they didnt use some skills anymore
You expect to much
doubt it actually
If you think its fixed
Losing ~1k damage per tick from Garrote from 2xSS but gaining an entire Garrote is gud.
They fixed it by reducing the dmg
is the nerf live btw or tomorrow with reset?
reset
on reset
I don't mind the nerf, i do mind having to refarm my azerite gear every.single.patch.
still 1 day of beeing the FotM op class my eu bois
tbh i doubt the nerf is too big
Just keep them lul
yeah its so shit
I do keep them
so what traits do we go for now ๐ค
I spent 4 weeks trying to get azerite head
Blizzard fixing bugs?
now the trait is worthless
on m+ i had ~ 30% garrote dmg with 2 SS traits
Because 20k dps with one button on a dot class was fine ๐
is raidbots uptadet with the ss nerf tomorrow?
so is exsanguinate dead again?
hehe limit will have fun with the hotfix
lul
I already have like 5 different chest pieces.. ready for everything 
@neon sequoia still trying to get my SS helmet from shrine 
gl ๐
Same @serene glacier
This is why you never throw away azerite gear 
vantis rune + class nerfs lul
Wanna bet the new bis trait isn't on it?
gonna be fun ghuun
maybe that 370 azerite chest with laz0r thingy will be good now
Lazor nerfed too
Laser nerfed
Laser got nerfed as well
lazor nerfed
Poor spookie got swapped from ghun. Press f
With the SS nerf should we still aim for 1x SS for the combo points?
ur still gonna want 1 raid trait just for the reorigination array
well method go all ranged for g'huun
lets enjoy sharpened blades together bois ๐
hehe inb4 sharpened gets nerfed ๐
are we gonna get something like this? https://gyazo.com/ce04786a71c77b92b7c68d6cb362cd98
aw
@weak pine to be fair you would think a release expansion wouldnt have such drastic changes. Like a hunter trait getting a 400% increase
just reaks of a rushed product

i had a paladin with 371 ilvl in my m+ the other day.. everything he had was 370-395 his azerite items were all 340... i love this system blizz.. its the same with myself.. got a bunch of 340 azerite and my gear is 360+ its such a snoozefest
i hope they delete sharpened blades
they gonna nerf it for sure
Well SB is shit
No one cares
Next week - (Outlaw) Snake Eyes: Damage bonus reduced by 50%
doesnt with the class at all
why would they nerf snake eyes
ss nerf is live?? I saw it changes during maintenance
y do ppl keep saying this
what
still wont be using the 370 shoulders from Arathi WB ... Rupture trait ๐คข
what did I say
how good is it that if your neck ilvl isnt high enough you cant even USE a higher level azerite piece even though the traits do the same dmg???
@magic thistle
so is exs dead again?
i sim lower today using nightly
@warm cove is that sub chart? if yes i already talked with bloodmallet, sharpened looks extremely strong their bc. of the talent change in the base profile
they have war and DH
@weak pine in response to throwing away azerite gear
for orbs
2 tanks = melee
@serene glacier apparently rupture trait is good in arena 
Buffs and orbs
Oh yes
Its not for orbs
yup it is @vestal wren i just don't want the assassination chart to look like that..
Lol
Bloodmallet up to date with ss nerf?
Battlecry too stronk
oh fuck laz0r was nerged too
You shouldnt expect blizzard to essentially take away a piece of your gear
-.-
They just announced they will so
They didn't.
because before i got 3x ss i had 2x sb and I hated it @vestal wren
sharpend blades has 1big problem, its 100 % ussules for aoe and a big windup
You cant use ANY abilities on mythic if u have orb
They brought SS in line from being busted.
Those classes have nothing to do with orbs
Is it in line tho?
so SS is still BiS tbh?
"in line", hopefully
im not gonna play with sharpened blades. fuck that shit trait
even if SB becomes bis im not using it
It's a lot but LM and TB were nerfed as well.
@warm cove herodamage has a page for ES and Dark i would cross compare to have a better estimate. bc. Tl;dr: dark just fucks up other traits in that chart
If SB is bis doues taht make Venom rush Viable?
So things are closer together in regards to Twist, Double Dose, SS, LM, Archive, TB.
etc.
Minus the really awful generic procs.
wonder how much frenetic corpsucle was buffed by.
yes i saw that, so herodamage is more reliable? @vestal wren
well for me it sounds like we dont stack SS anymore
gonna laugh if later on they will also nerf sin base damages
Yeah I am curious about the trinket buff as well.
but its still hard
like they hit disc dmg
and that it was the ONLY trinket buffed/fixed.
so with SB you just use knife at 30 stacks? thats it?
yeah
i love shuriken toss lol ๐ฎ
SB is like the legendary chest from WW monks in legion
Is herodamage already taking the nerf in to consideration?
Is the ss nerf out?
because it is still telling me to take 2x Ss
@warm cove the issue is you have problems getting 3x sharpened, if you look at the top raid teams you will almost see noone use it
Weโre planning to make the following changes during this weekโs maintenance period.
i have 2x 340 and 1x370 with SB
SB 
fuck SB honestly
its so horrible skill design
you guys think outlaw or sub will be better than us in m+ noow?
its probably gonna be Double Dose meta on single target with the nerf
So I take it a sin nerf is coming lol
the best rogue spec for M+ is spec/comp specific
No DD meta
I was just gearing up to switch
Is going to happen
We legion monk now, just with poison knife 
best rated rogue on m+ is an outlaw with meme build sooo
Nooooo
not in higher keys
Ffs
definately not
he is
lets just see SB taking top spot and we'll talk how many still refuse to take it ๐
https://wago.io/SkXtjMSDX use this for sharpaned blades, we will all use it tomorrow
Shows glowing icon when Sharpened Blades trait reaches 30 stacks.
But I dun wanna be a meme
Since Shrouded is bad, whats BIS ST azerite trait now? any updated sims?
Blizzard thought of us and said: This spec was designed to be ST only. Let's remove the one aspect that makes it competitive in thrash and dungeons.
do you hold vendetta for SB stacks at opener?
You dont use SB
yo is nightly updated or not? i sim lower today than yday
Ever
DONT use SB
cmon guys stop panicing
competitive? assassination was completely broken op in m+ lmao
first rule of SB.. you dont talk about SB

wtf dont even consider it
sin was nutso bongo with SS in M+
what do we do about traits now? wait bloodmallet updates?
