@agile bane i agree with the sentiment, but it feels like we legit have no viable traits rn
"less effort" as in "less people", right?
Everything in the game they have full control over
They are God
But they act like shit just happens
Were gonna end up using SB
i just wanna know what trait is fun
"oh tiers got boring"
@mellow pier So is mythic+, it's just not implemented yet. Neither was anything before it was popularized. I've played since vanilla, and the only way you could tell the progression of someone back then was by looking at their gear.
other than that, yeah it was justified, and ill keep playing the game
@glad shuttle you should rather get 340 sub gear then raid with sin traits in sub
"let's remove them"
@mellow pier sounds like you just play for fun bud lol
Watch how engaging this rotation is
Sounds like DK
hint: fuck no
complaining about sb being stupid isn't fair 'cuz SS is also stupid Ç_Ç
m+ is a very compatitive mode, so having it balanced somewhat is reasonable
sharpened blades is an abomination
SS was fun though
someone should be fired for even conceiving that shit
^
Legit was one of the few traits that were fun
Maximizing Garrote was interesting
^
And the rotation was clever and counter-intuitive which is fun for me
Sharpened Blades is "Hey let's make one of the most boring traits of all time that is completely against the spirit of the spec and then make it the best trait by bastardising everything else"
i actually disagree
Whats the go to trait for assa now?
I mean exsang hasnt been viable since tov
So
no matter what ability it is
Its good and they destroy it
@vestal wren what are your predictions with the changes?
Maybe they should buff the rest of our abilities
Lol
And then nerf SS
it kinda is poor design when you look at the end of a fight and see garrote at 45% dmg xD
Though I have to say I'm glad for the nerf. I hate to have blizzard tell me what to play simply because it's slightly overtuned as compared to its counterspecs. I enjoyed Outlaw way more than ass. I might even consider going back.
its very hard to say what will be best, i wait for herodamage to have the update
Sure some pple can do well, but it wasnt the best
sharpened blades look suprisingly good tbh
@vestal wren the issue is its stupid
U can find a good parse with pple running stupid talents all the time
Doesnt make them good
They look at herodamage and bloodmallet top traits and nerf based on that
my gripe now is that they nerfed laser matrix too since it gave more dps runnning that +2 SS so I wonder if that's going to change as well
@unreal coyote what issue
but if it works is it stupid? lul
So SB is a dead man walking
In Antorus TB was better though
using our ranged attack in melee
exsang is still your go-to in M+
Remind me where rogue cleave in antorus
@strange python they dont need to, just look at the m+ wcl statistic and you see that ss trait needs some change
I forgot
antorus only raid?
avatar
the question is is the Sin the way to go in m+ not exsang
hue
Hello?
i am actually not sure, sub/outlaw might be compatitive to sin again with the change
is new sims updated?
sub was what
@strange python See this from blizzard's perspective, however they nerf it - one part of the community will be affected more than the other. In the end, it's for the best. SS was overtuned, none's denying that. - Or they simply would've left it alone.
exsang was king in kj and maiden and avatar
@jovial kite just because u, one of the better sin rogues in world played it doesnt mean its the norm man
Raidbots doesnt work with the comment : override.spell_data=effect.734512.coefficient=3.007362
we werent talking the norm
but dont degenerate to using poison knife in rotation
exsang on kj
@vestal wren if you go off the sims from before changes sub will be top and outlaw/sin will be closer
We were talking about viability
wut
ty
sub was bis in tos
Just as i get 2 370 daggers
if you had a specter and didnt play sub
boom
you were special
@cursive hull maybe they should bring the rest of the class up a bit as well so SS doesn't sting as bad, a bit like how they should've handled Windwalker when they butchered them as well
period
@strange python sub sims very high bc. of sharpened what is somewhat hard to get
My point is, talent finally comes out ahead
tbh i would not mind blizz nerfing it for sub
Lets kill it
reprobate, except that sub aoe is somewhat worse than assa garrote simulator in openers at trash packs m+
@vestal wren lol back to outlaw we all go :p
@vestal wren is sharpened even viable
dropped from 13.5k to 12.9k feelsbadman
i think outlaw is quite good in m+
In high ilvl profiles
seems so janky
Tb had higher max potential
It prob still is for me
can i not use it in raidbots
exsang was ahead with enough haste
outlaw provides the most utility in m+
Tbh
@drifting elbow but sub ss combo is insane st e.g. zul mythic
But still doesnt mean ill be playing the spec lol
says that ovveride.spell_data is an invalid command
meh getting sharpened blades x3 is unrealistic at 385
🤔
hm i just ran sims using the simc overwritte and i had no change in my dps, did i do something wrong or?
how many is pure ST in m+ 
@undone cairn do it in advanced
Back to outlaw boys it got nerfed the least!!
I barely see any Subs using SB on high mythic parses
@strange python Windwalker I think have the highest potential sim atm. If played PERFECTLY, they're by far one of the best classes. However, nobody plays their class 100% to perfection, and even if your unhuman skills get to that point, it's all situational. Which is why outlaw might be better than both ass and sub, simply because it's easier to play and has more tools to use no matter the circumstances.
oh
because they dont exist sure you can get x3 340
@tight meteor the issue with sharpened is that you dont get to much of it in the raid, so you depend on the weekly chest to get high pieces
thats the issue
Windwalker is dead @cursive hull
with the whole thing
Also Outlaw parses way worse than sub and sin
tbh i hope they let m+ drop azerite
i have 2x sharpened but not sure if i want to farm for 3rd
The system is flawed when u gate traits
this would solve many issues
They're almost non-existent in the top parses on Mythic kills
isnt it just so bad in aoe
@strange python That is true, but it's still one of the best DPS-classes in game if played right 😃
or at least heavily outnumbered
@vestal wren they cant without buffing raid azerite
yeah if they let azerite drop in m+
unless there is snap cleave
everything would be fine
doesn't outlaw also scale worse than sub/sin?
Keep a track of mythic parses the next few days, it will slowly be overtaken completely by sub
@mellow pier isnt array supposed to do that?
and a small contingent of OL and Sin
@vestal wren not when its nerfed 30% LUL
as someone who was using 2x SS and 1 laser
Yeah I think OL scales worse
im gonna feel it
iirc Sub scales the best right?
badly
@unreal coyote i lost 1k with same traits
jfc
Feelsnerfedman
I lost ~1.1-1.2K
If you only base your findings on parses, you really don't know how anything works. There might be 1 player playing WW that can pull around 20% more dps than the top BM hunter, but it won't show on parses, because there's only a few that plays the class as compared to BM or even Havoc DH. Statistics 1on1 😃
i havent simmed yet
Dont do it
8head in sand*
Switching to archive on my SS chest feelsbadman
Its last week all over again
to cheer you guys up. if you manage to get 3x snake eyes build you can go all in on the snd meme
yeah
1.5k nerf with sub changes lol
i lost 900 dps
😦
eh
@vestal wren Right? How has that not been nerfed yet...good gravy
I went 15.4k to 14.4k
So you guys getting rid of SS altogether now?
APL is updated?
14.530 to 13.800 LUL
time to sim different setups
actually i have 3x sb lol
LUL
@tranquil ermine check pins
@keen inlet they just need to normalize the mh procs to fix it
to be fair, most trait should be equivalent in dps, maybe some more oriented aoe, some oriented ST or oriented pvp
Im using nightly, is it not reflecting nerfs yet?
i have a 390+sock one i need to use
@cursive hull you're treading in pure conjecture now, I understand the statistics argument but NOT when WW is completely absent from top parses. It's not just underrepresented, it's fucking gone.
Im 1 more kneejerk nerf away from quitting and just playimg a diff game til xpac is over lol
if not it's the whole reforge shit all over again
@mellow pier feelssame
guess you still have another week to play then
or just rerolling warrior
I dont like direction of game,atm and still play for friends, guild and because ive played so long
join chadnation
how about just quit now and not wait
@keen inlet I dont see any pins about SimC APL being updated? Wasn't whining or moaning just curious if people are simming for different results post maintenance
next week they nerf all rogue specs by 5% and they buff aff/havoc by 10%
Chadhold
@strange python Exactly, and they were in Legion for a while too. However one of the best players i know who was in our mythic roster at the time, pulled way more DPS than any other of our members with much lower ilvl. And i'm talking top-level players.
Hey guys quick question. Why does rogue keep getting nerfed and DH is untouched? It's actually insane
On the upside, Outlaws been left alone since stabbing Deadshot
Heroclass
@tranquil ermine #tc-updates
5% aura AND stabbing deadshot

sin is fine
5%s not as bad as shredding SS
assn is still going to be strong
@vestal wren thats directly for SS though, the archive / LM changes are not included within that though?
Stop the hyperbole
Stop defending this shit team
@strange python With that in mind, I believe Demo has higher potential than affli, especially for single target patchwerk. And they have by far the lowest parses than any other class.
LUL
I swear every time people act like buffs and nerfs are some new thing in wow
seizure inducing
Wont sub overtake sin on st next week?
fucking deleted before I could delete it myself 😠
keep that in #off-topic pls
siming higher as sub now tho
my eyes are hurting from that gif
Btw
you could see the nerf coming from uranus
how are you simming as the hotfix btw
We were OP what do you expect 🤷
Subs been on top every raid
Good, I love to provide pain
It's mostly the philosophy of nerfing good traits and leaving 90% of utter shit ones untouched
@vestal wren do you have an override for the laser matrix change?
the timing is rly bad, ppl are still in progression
my traits are still simming as the prenerf
thats pissing ppl off
Just so blizz can wank off
not an assn nerf level of pain, but mild irritation
I was actually arguing that Blizz would nerf SS last week, so it's of no surprise.
When is the last time u seen 3 5%-8% nerfs to 1 class in 2 weeks
@cursive hull i argued it since launch so
@quasi flower no sry, not by hand
MoP, Cata, WotLK, TBC
All 3 specs were top 5 in week 1 parses
so, do we run TB instead of exa in m+ now?
nws thanks for the first override regardless
actually since beta
@fiery sedge the changes are in after na goes live so in ~2h (as noted in #tc-updates )
if you didnt see it coming you were blind
Rogue can never pull top numbers because our personals and utility is too good so we'll out-compete everyone else
best traits for tomorrow
@wheat zealot so are they gonna nerf the new top classes next week?
@jovial kite I only started playing Ass a few days ago, and the only reason I did, was because I didn't get any weapons for outlaw. And maybe a little bit because they were superOP 😛
yeah i know but how are people simming them already
How does that have logic
"Who cares about Poisoned Wires lol" blizz 2018
They will nerf every powerful trait
Until none of them are good
lol
The cha ges are not reflected yet in Raidbots, right ?
SS was Assassination
And they are all equal
i pinned a overwrite for the ss nerf
the spec
ppl use that
trait was the spec 
im happy the nerf came
Oh ok thanks fuu
I am too
All the plebs will leave the channel
@jovial kite me too, it was such boring game play
but the trait was carrying our aoe and st
yes like i said
the trait was the spec
if you think otherwise you never looked at a dmg breakdown
or youre just inept
hate rh when sin is fotm
not a 1 spec wonder
i didnt play outlaw
outside of some dummy tests
should have levelled a warlock
Rogue after tlk LUL
jesus who let him back in here?
unhappy? Go sub
honestly
My only argument now for sticking to Ass is for PvP, where bleeds will actually keep rogues out of stealth. And it's more relaxed than sub.
@tranquil ermine
who let me back? 
nerfs are live already or just in 2 hrs?
nightblade is also a bleed
Outlaw is fun, but it means I have to start farming weapons again
@warm geode live
@vestal wren technically its a shadow dot :p
we get it riff you love sub and thats ok
muh classfantasy
@daring imp ty
I don't love sub
I feel like Garrote doesn’t last long enough in PVP to warrant it being a big loss in PvP
@jovial kite its a bleed technically, bleeds are dots and it does shadow damage so you are also correct
I don't love rogue
what i hate is how shitty the option are for azerite from raids
@mellow pier That's fine. Same happened to Outlaw when they nerfed Deadshot
I'm so tired, I'm a mythic progressing person and I've had to play literally all 3 specs for AoE AND ST in many scenarios just to perform to my peak. Can they stop making suck drastic changes ffs
@keen inlet Thats not the APL for all the changes, thats just a manual change for SS.
I do love people who get so passionate about a computer game
hazzikostas makes wow great again
Yeah SS wasn't great in pvp
Ion Hazzinerfedassnagain
1xSS is nice for the CP
yeah ik
i wounder if 1ss + 2 other traits are actually the go-to after the nerf
So are the nerfs live or do we have to wait till 8 PST?
Never let Gr**ks be in charge of anything
nerfs are not live til server maintenance is over
racist
@mellow pier But what i'm talking about is utility, not dps. In PvP, utility weighs way more than dps.
its not drastic if ur not clueless
Give new OP build pls
40 was heavy
server maint is over
But was expected
negative
@jovial kite I'm not clueless, I'm just tired of juggling around specs likeit's fuckin beta. I wish I could stick to one and the other for AoE.
@tranquil ermine apologies, I misunderstood you
Utility spec is stunbot Sub in pvp
@glad ferry While that's laudable I don't think that's Blizz' goal for pure classes
and hasn't been for some time
like, years
@modern osprey I was referring to a single utility which gives Ass an upper hand on other rogues in PvP, which is an argument to stay Ass even after the SS nerf.
its like you wouldnt juggle on progress aswell
plays highest level of content, wants to stick to a single spec

glwt
If it happened that way it's because of bad balancing/design on their part
Yeah lul
@cursive hull fair enough soz I missunderstood!
You should keep all specs up to scratch
^
Azerite makes it annoying though
^
not really
you shouldn't have any problem juggling specs. WQs have been giving swords consistently, you should have had a backup set for Outlaw easily.
what ppl don't understand is that 40% is a beta number nerf.
azerite is easy to get
Its about not gearing 1 week
I think we can all agree that azerite is a fairly bin system
To have to regear next week
I miss the simpler times in WoD. Combat for AoE, Sub for ST. Assa for ♿
you can very much play "highest level" of content with one spec if you're casual, I mean if you don't race for world first kills
Riff do u even have a wow sub atm
I raid mythic as assa since beginning of WoD
it's an "this trait is OP compared to the rest, so let's bring it in line with the other traits" nerf
Yes
I do
Suprised
Even for world first, Method played both Ass and Sub when progressing
no, it's really not. it's a "these traits are underperforming, let's bring the only good ones down to their level"
@cursive hull there arent any rogues atm
roll fotm
get nerfed
cry and complain
Luckily I only had 1 ss trait, and my parses were still pretty good, so I dont think this will be as bad as people are saying
lol
@tranquil ermine i am open to suggestions to apl changes, the changes are not even live else so give me, mystler and koji some time to look into it
you can stick with a single spec entire expansion highest level content if you play it well
yeah. usually a trait like this wouldnt have made it to lie in this state @wild zodiac but it did, because the game wasnt ready. If you just dont acknoledge the fact that the game wasnt ready it doesnt mean it was.
@fossil jewel did u have laser matrix?
make shallow assumption of why people are angry
add nothing to this conversation
be Bisjack
No
The game was obviously not ready for many reasons
i did it!
Wow
@mellow pier That's not true though 😛 Rogues have almost always been situational, in almost every tier there's been a fight where rogues have allowed you to ease if not all together skip a mechanic, so they're by far more useful than most classes in terms of raiding.
Triggered much
move on to what? lol
not at all
Yeah bisjack isnt the smartest person in here. shits on people but probably 5/8H
people angry about a computer game
@cursive hull being mdps is a handicap for last 2 bosses
let that sink in
if all traits are shitty, all traits are also BiS 
@unreal bear some trait that isn't on any uldir pieces obv
a guy who doesnt play rogue arguing in a class discord.
@unreal bear Poisoned Wires
UK is Brexiting, and US has Trump as a president, people here whining about a trait nerf
Best enchants for assa?
👌
I disagree with his take but hes really good rogue
herodamage updated?
good for him, he's also a dickhead
istn sharpened blades also a very competitive trait now? wondering over the pin DD/SoB
@mellow pier And so is the life of raiding. If you're not going for world first, it doesn't matter. Method will require you to have at least 3 classes ready for raiding to fit a boss' mechanics perfectly. Most raiding teams plays what they want and they make it work.
@celest swan have fun with that bin rotation
the anti-doomsayers circle jerk is always just as annoying as the doomsayers
ionno im just an m+ player
riff can't complain about multiples things and want to play good multiples specs :omegalul:
and pvp
Isn't SoB just good for AoE multi doting tho
everyone go post on wow forums your constructive feedback
Mobs dont live for aoe ruptures
mutts still fine for 3's, so is sub. But sin was reallyyyy the only way to push score
Not even in 10s
just go DH actual broken class
Lol
Garrote was only way to compete
If you're playing a class because your guild leader requires you to and not because you enjoy it the game is no longer a game... it's a job
@worthy carbon DH is too hard for assn rogues
Shit dies in 10s
too many buttons
they won't ready it @wild zodiac They'll say "boohoooo oh no we don't have any ways to filter feedback"
We are still in a way better spot than a lot of specs. I really don't get people using a broken trait and then complaining when its nerfed. Sin will still be top half of logs
remember when they fixed an assn bug in legion
quick question. does this mean I have to much haste?
SS is still top even after nerf?
bcos SS is fun
are the nerfs live on raidbots?
Like has anyone done a 10 where if its not an elite mob u can actually get 2 ruptures to,full tick
its ok even if you're a wheelchair DH you still get taken for magic damage buff great game really
I mean yeah we're not demonology warlock at least
@drifting hare no, it means you need more haste because it is your highest scale factor.
double dose most likely top
is SS stil best trait?
@karmic ingot alright thanks
I wish double dose was nh 2pc instead
I don't have a single piece of gear with double dose lol
I liked nh 2pc
Would DD stacking affect how many targets you would FoK on?
@gusty plinth herodamage will get a update later, its not yet
DD is utter shit in m+ though
I'm alright with the 40% nerf, but, shouldn't they fix the refreshing of it?
@dark shoal LOL
😄
No
@mellow pier So this is the deal with the game, not every class shines on every fight. it's true Ass rogues doesn't have burst Aoe, that's reserved for other classes (and if you really wanna go the extra mile, reroll Outlaw for that fight). That's the way it's always been. However, ass rogues shine in other scenarios and situations. Take my previous guild's ToS mythic progression for example. We would never have killed that boss if I hadn't re-rolled ass rogue for Fallen Avatar to soak a mechanic.
lol pjok
so assa is back to garbage tier for m+ ?
@cursive hull thats because u did it before they hotfixed the dmg tho
Sub could soak it just as well
Still very good in m+
but who wanted to dfa through the floor
Assassin allowed u to dmg the maiden better
@dark shoal if nobody use it anymore tout don't need to fix
Is sob scent of blood?
@real idol In that situation, my dps didn't matter. And I did shit dps the night we killed the boss, because it wasn't about DPS
@unreal coyote best dfa crit so high they broke the floor 😉
back to playing sub i guess
XD
@drifting hare it means that haste is your best stat, and your dps will go up by 1.94 dps per point of additional haste.
you guys still playing garrote trait or is it better playing with archive of titans ?
@proud grove "can't fix what we can't see"
During blades
It was like playing sub on elisande
Why would u put urself thru that
@lone junco got you thanks
Here's my avatar kill (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/176486335), don't expect much, because I had re-rolled rogue 2 weeks prior to the kill. But without me, we would never have killed Avatar.
I'm just saying
bloodmallet not updatet or SS is still best post nerf ?
i think a lot fo the people scrutinizing us for being angry misunderstand why were angry
@inner tree bloodmallet is not updated
Ya im angry cause its literally every week
oh ok hope we won't have to play with SB
Be nice if they actually talked to us.
I don't live under a rock
With the nerf of the trait according to you will lose damage?
but your tears are tasty
you cant prove it
does the advanced sim with new trait take in account of the lazer nerf aswell?
its annoying being nerfed, but they said they were going to nerf the overly strong azerite traits and buff some lower ones, it should have been expected. They didnt let DS stay the way it was, why would they let SS
Remember when riff played wow, for 1 tier in wod
i'll miss SS because it made arena dmg more competitive
@vast patio the AMA said they're nerfing OP traits
now im stuck playing in Vendetta windows
they did talk to you
@vast patio they probably did talk to us. they troll this discord just the same
"why is ss OP?"
20x rogues : LOLO GGGCT
buff some lower ones 😂 😂 😂
the simple fact is that Azerite traits fucking suck and are boring
I'm just repeating what they said.
if i was half as troll as riff id get muted/banned yesterday-i request justice
With the nerf they could've at least fixed the bug with it.
Except there is no troll
Just cus they buff some lower ones doesn’t mean they’re gonna be better 😂
single start will be fine but i'm salty because of the cleave nerf
Tier sets where basically better at this point
how big will the nerf feel overall? will it be worth going back to sub or is sin still superior ?
I'd argue the ama was just non-answers to serious concerns.
so SS is still good for aoe but there are better traits for ST?
Tier sets were easier to balance thats for sure
it will feel like a 40% nerf to the biggest part of your DPS
imaging going back to sub 
The AMA was such a joke
The only problem I have with this expansion so far, is that with the idea in mind that azerite traits replace item sets, is that you'll most likely keep the same rotation throughout the entire expansion, unless they do drastic changes to the traits. Which can get kinda boring after a while
400% buffs to shitty traits, its like they didnt even test any of them
people are angry because of how little thought was given to making a change, angry because switching specs with optimal triats is not as fluid as it should be
"how little thought"
They only value our fun you guys
angry because of the principles employed in making the changes
if you cant see that
pretty big assumption into what they actually discussed internally, no?
just exit stage left
for what its worth, i dont think I lost much on a 6T 40sec sim. so in the attempt to nerf sin in M+, nothing much happened, and I lost 1k in ST raid.
thats cool
i'm more annoyed that my pieces with SS are suddenly not good anymore, which doesn't fix the problem with Azerite traits.
I think 3x SS will still be BiS
So is SS going to be the best trait or is there better traits to stack now
29k 6T dropped to 28k.
is bloodmallet updated yet? says 2 hours ago ss is still top by far
They dont best, beta is for exposure
i'm angry the 4k dps mage got a 385 socketed ring after 2 bresses were cast on him and he managed to die every time
Not for fixing the game
everyone knew this nerf was coming
Live is beta
40% nerf to SS has to be a huge nerf in a cleave scenario tho
Idc bout the nerf
and thats totally fine
It's okay, everyone will have forgotten this shit tomorrow
40% shows they have 0 clue
Honestly the thing that pisses me off the most is rogue gets nerfed seemingly every week now, and a trait gets nerfed, so then you have to reforge, and that's so much gold. All because blizz couldn't balance this system in beta
^^^^^^^^^^^
@wild zodiac bro i dont forget rogue nerfs. i'll take this shit to the grave
lul reforge
"Everyone will forget rogues being nerfed for the third week in a row tomorrow" 🤔
tbh if you didn't expect a nerf you were delusional
ig the ss nerf isnt too bad for m+, still doing 14k st and 15k overall
^ the reforge gold is gonna break me tbh.
just image beeing a ww monk 😉
but they should have buffed garbage traits
Just wait and see what the new bis is
@unreal bear going to the grave kinda means you'd have to be taken to some content... which ain't happening after this nerf
Jesus Christ. Y’all are triggered.... seriously is SS still bis for traits? Or should you be rolling three different ones? Or?

We don't know
@inner tree 100% expected a nerf. also expcted a nerf that isnt 40% or an insanely slight recompansation
@wild zodiac arena rogue tho 8)
That's true, I believe blizzard would've been better off improving garbage traits.
@unreal bear pvp is myth
The SS nerf isnt live yet, no?
Removes set pieces. Adds a system that is worse in every way.
Its tomorrow
Why are they unveiling nerfs half at a timr too
@wild zodiac it's all we got, broski
It's tomorrow for EU
best traits now?
They say they have more, release them all
I think we all need to relax. As rogues we are clearly very gifted players and can overcome any nerf
you can still play around with the override Fuu provided to get an idea of the change
I think nerfing the traits without buffing others at the same time is kinda dumb
The reforge is what pisses me off more than anything about these nerfs. I'm fine running new traits or trying out a new spec, but can you seriously keep charging this much gold when you nerf a top trait every week?
@unreal bear join the reroll club who decided non-rogue for bfa
@modest peak 25% was iirc the numbe to set it in place, the additional 15% are likely to make it worse in m+
I survived WoD, I'll be fine. Bitching is just fun.
@wild zodiac never ever. 😦
@vestal wren 25% would have been completely fine by my book
DR on stacking tbh
@unreal bear I guess you will die taking nerfs
meh
Yoink
@wild zodiac i've survived several expansions of nerfs. gotta experience the dark times so it highlights the good times.
slight buff to rupture would have been good. Would have compensated a bit for ST loss and given more sustained cleave in m+
in all reality i just want blindside to be viable
@unreal bear that's the spirit, unlike these whiney plebs tbh
tbh I don't notice a huge difference in my damage after an hour of training dummy. Sure its there but its not as big as i wouldve thought. I believe SS will still be top 3 trait, but we'll have to see what BM says
Anyone know if raidbots already reflects the SS nerf?
@lone junco you only lost 1k in AoE trash pulls?
wonder if people go back to sub after this in m+ tho
Blindside should be base. Isn't it just dispatch?
meanwhile frost dk and dh are still untouched that's an omegalul right here
it is, no clue why it should be a talent, but while at it, why not make it a legit talent?
@proven pumice long fights with low empowered garrote uptime obviously aren't quite as impacted in dps
Sub is a horrible spec
dh is gonna replace rogue in m+ i feel
in tcupdates it says to focus on DD and SoB .. dumb question what are these short for? 😄
I didn't have 3 SS anyways so maybe now I won't feel totally unoptimized as assassination
Imagine, if there were a concept of 📌 that could answer basic questions
DH is gonna get nerfed for sure
Double dose and scent of blood
ty
they should be nerfed already

Reroll now and youll be 360 on the dh before getting nerfed.
dh is insane imo
DH doesn't have shroud
"dh is insane"
did they touch dh?
is there a way to use the top gear feature with the override line for the nerf?
windwalkers didnt have shroud in legion
So u need atleast 1 so that ur locks can carry u
They’ve never touched DH
They will.
We legit have a dh on fetid just for warlock dmg lol
@north spruce no you're just going to have to manually do it yourselr
Replacing gear
do i want 1 lazor or 1 archive when in raids?
To sim in advanced
@proven pumice ss was way good at 20s. but 40s doesnt seem to be a huge loss. we will be able to tell in M+ tho.
mmk
hopefully its updated with the changes soon
@lone junco nothing lasts 40s
Even in 10s
is the SS nerf live? i'm still pulling fat dps on this dummy
not yet
@mellow pier seli said it is realistic for his big keys.
Nope
Everything is dead in like 10 to 20s in 10s
Where can I see all the changes
US is already live O_o
@vocal harbor no, it comes after server restart
but yeah, i do most of my stuff in 20s
Oh
dh and frost dk were already not far from us in cleave will smashing us in aoe now it will be a joke
the servers already restarted for NA
server restarts
Sorry yeay
not daily reset if i'm not wrong
Nerf is live
oh
America’s live, EU isn’t
ya definitely already live on US
my bad then
so sad
its been so long and people still crying
the weekly reset did not happen, but the servers did go down an hour ago for NA
whoa
Its normal
I'm just concerned I'm going to be dead weight tbh. I was like a blue parser before getting nerfed and that's with 3 SS traits. Now i may end up in the dumpster
It'll die down eventually
Are you sure SS isn't live since rolling restarts? Changes to Frenetic Corpuscle seems to be live.. felt like it was proc'ing more in a +9 just now
@proven pumice tbf ur parse % is not represented by nerfs
If you're a blue parser with 3 traits, it isn't the traits my dude it's you
% is based on others of same spec
monkaS
SoB is Scent of Blood?
Figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it
Yes
Relative to ur raid group u will do less
hello 🍺
But ur % shouldnt change
wouldnt double dose and sharpened blades just be straight better than scent of blood, or are we talking about dungeons?
unless your raid group are all sin rogue LUL
even on tyrannical weeks?
for m+ double dose is the worst
Wait till sims are updated and soon find out
I wonder if they're gonna nerf sub since it's so OP with its gimmick in raids lol
i highly doubt sob will be better than 3x SS on high keys.
Tyrannical weeks are not push weeks imo
And this is why I've been hoarding azerite gear...
don't pick double dose for m+
For some keys
i still not sure how well outlaw is in m+
better than assn in m+
the utility is great and burst aoe

are you guys sure the patch is live on NA? i'm still doing the same dps
@vestal wren i didnt like it
Falls off hard low boss,dmg if unlucky
U want consistent with m+
what is live??
did you try the snake meme too?
Nah i didnt
any buff?
Should
check garrote max crits during vendetta @vocal harbor
Yeah new patch happened 8am est for my server
snek meme is the best shit
nerfs alia
outlaw super good for farming keys you outgear but yeah I feel it falls off
nerf??????
Snake might be a little strong since everything else is doodoo
@vocal harbor resets havent gone over yet
Nerfed on NA 
so triple SS will still be best for m+ ?
oh fek!!!!
Come join me in Channel-2! Let's talk rogue 😄
No
yeah thats what i thought about ..everyone is playing Snake Meme build tomorrow
Thank god i don't throw away gear kek
xD
Snek on my head...literally
Best channel to pass the time at work, xD
Make same situation as now
the NA servers restarted, the instances didn't reset yet
but the patch should be applied
Agreed @mighty venture 
What treat was behind SS in sims again? I forgot
what is being nerfed?
Have you tried resetting your ui @vocal harbor ?
shrouded suffocation 40% nerf @undone lodge
@knotty cedar I should have kept my blues. had like 12 shoulders etc. but i melted them about a week ago.
da fuq?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!
So double dose is best now ?
I think it was Sharpened Blades then Dagger
somehow i'm still doing similar dps on this dummy though
40 fekking percent???!!!!!!!!
I got my last piece of snek last night before I logged off 
So NA players, did they at least fix the SS bug?
sharpened blades 
Its not live EU
you can get them back @lone junco in https://eu.battle.net/support/es/restoration/characters
this is why i hold on to all my azerite pieces 😄
Same lol.
Same
i scrapped em all :((
Are SS nerfs updated on raidbots?
Yikes
Nope
is the 15 days for restore per character or per bnet?
@frosty obsidian you can use the overwrite from the pin 😉
dont worry that page is bugged
Hate to see it
its missing like dozens of items ive scrapped
For scrapping you have to have the raw scrap mats to return to get the item back
Its a way to keep us playing! Next week it will be something else, so we have to grind for another piece. Activision logic
it made sure to keep the 20 pages of greens i scrapped tho
Seems like the uldir Azerite shit will be ok. Then.
@vestal wren Rip thanks last pin I saw before bed was liavres ><
Save every 340+ piece of azerite gear you get for this whole expac
can't see archive being any good even post buff tbh
shiet!!!
yes i did it earlier today, but the changes will be later in raidbots
They make Uldir azerite trash outside of Uldir, then nerf our good traits to force us to use it for ilevel. It's genius tbh
already have 2 SS stacked 😿
@fresh bough i even save 325+ just in case lol
Azerite system is just dogshit. It legit feels like aj afterthought
And its supposed to be a core feature
YEs
@modern osprey only in dungeons
ah ok
make blindside baseline and give back KB ez
Yes, but it’s not worth doing in PvP
Thats why its good for dungeons
Makes me miss AP weapons, at least we didn't have to fish dungeons 80x just to get one
not anymore or?
So after all this crying do we have some solution ...whats we can do and i dont want answers like quite change class ...
@little sparrow weps werent a problen with ml
is it legit that ss got nerfed?
"nerfed"
Cause when that dagger dropped. U knew it was urs
tickled
100% true
True @mellow pier
Now only 1 who can get agi dagger is u lol
yea i wanna know too can some big brain tell what is best now ?
No other class csn even trade u
Nobody knows what’s best trait atm, stop asking
SS nerf only a ~4% nerf for me on ST, but i assume its much bigger nerf for m+ right
SS will likely still be the best tbh
LF bloodmallet update
They also nerfed vantus runes
I don't see another trait being better, maybe SoB for high keys
you can deduce it by doing maths stop being an ass
Siiiiiiick
Taking bets for next weeks nerf
DD is dogshit for m+
Oh we talking bout m+
Will see i think its still gonna be the best one just not that big gap between other Traits ...
Lol @main rain
Thought it was raids. My bad, no context. Just got here.
Next week we'll be back to sub and outlaw nerfs again
Snek next nerf
Nerf doesnt seem too bad, still getting 17k crits with garrote instead of 23k, hurts but def still strong
@main rain snek and sb
I liked SS cause it was good for m+ and ST
Maybe that sub trait
Where does the mythic chest hide on Alliance side?
!chest
Weekly chest position:
Alliance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKPlCI652Wo
Horde - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLjg2XCTe7U
so is it still worth stacking SS trait for m+?
Probably
id imagine itll still be good
@Xero 20 pesos on pickpocket
Chest isnt up
Thanks, sorry didnt know that command existed
The ability itself is too good to pass up.
Think of it this way, 2 SS traits yesterday is the new 3 SS today
Pretty much
not quite tho lol. feels bad
mememax indeed
I looked one of logs and reduced 40% of my garrote damage and i lost 950 dps. Sure my calculation is not quite accurate but just an idea. i have 2xss
As long as the shareholders are happy guys 🤑🤑🤑
and it wont even be 40% of your total garrote damage
I'm guessing the 40% reduction to the SS trait gonna butcher assassination rogues no?
@knotty cedar thats about right, did u have a matrix too?
i think eventually a TtK build with MP/TB will be good, when we get more mastery.
just hope we won't have to play with SB in single target that shit is already bad in sub
No @strange python
I had 2ss and 1 matrix, a little,over 1k
3x SS made you unbeatable as a rogue, it's just more balanced now.
Does the latest bloodmallet version posted 2 hours ago include the nerfs?
@mellow pier 2 ss and 1 blade throw stack thingy
@nocturne cradle no
kk
They didn't nerf garrote by 40% just the BONUS damage applied from stealth
At 355 ilvl that bonus damage is 591
Noooo
Taking away 40%from your overall garrote damage is just wrong
Tbh nerfing the FotM traits every week blizz is saving us trouble by slowly making all azerite traits worthless
just did an 11 tol, its pretty noticeable
Since trash dies fairly fast in non fortified
is ass shit now?
the SS nerf?
Garrote critting 16k instead of 25k 
Why can't they just make other traits more competitive?
are the nerfs live on US servers?
Fixing outliers is much easier
yes

they didnt even buff useless traits, ty blozzard
More reasonable to nerf one OP one rather than buff 121 useless ones
Garrote critting harder than dispatch was kinda messed up tho lol
what are the new affixes this week?
Hello, has everyone calmed down yet?
No
no
no
no
No
no
garrote now heals mobs
I'm moist
Hell no
Lmao
what's to be upset about? Not like you had a trait nerfed by 40%
its alt leveling o clock
🐍
Don't tell me to calm down 
@wild zodiac 
yes
Garrote now does damage to you
Lmao
has frost mage been nerfed this xpac yet?
It's your turn next week, subs
Was leveling an alt rogue since i like the bleeding playstyle. Did you guys all stacked the trait which is nerfed? Will that change the playstyle to smth mastery heavy poison Style(heard that was a thing in legion) or will i be fine with a bleed build where most of my damage Comes from
@icy escarp yea u r correct i just wanted to get an idea thats why i took 40% of whole garrote but it should be less than 950 dps loss for me at least
Assassination is the true EMO spec now, selfharming Garrote
My outlaw and sin are neck and neck now, but sin pulls way ahead in 3 target
If you're a DH then yes you are safe
I thought sin was single target
its like nerfing mana regen few weeks ago, if u are low lvl u had negative mana regen
Yeap, Garrote has been replaced by Tourniquet, and Assassination has been renamed Triage Rogue, to reflect it's new role as a healing spec
Is raidbots already accounting for trait nerfs?
Welp time to reroll feral boys. The true bleed class 
My rogue is going to commit not alive in wow
hey guys, does anyone know why on g'huun at the 2nd feast you sometimes get explosive corruption cross over with whole raid stacking for cleanse and lust + beam tactic?
Doesnt that always happen?
Assassination, the true cutting edge
Pretty sure that happens every time
we should all make a strike and not log in our rogues after nerf lmao
Jesus so many questions of the same thing, I've been here 5min and it's almost every 2nd question..
Once blizzard nerf everything else in the game maybe dispatch will be good for a week
Because you took a ball to the face.
I want dispatch to be good
but im sure they will add new trait soon, and also buff some of useless ones,i aint even worried
Dont use dispatch.. they'll nerf it 
archive of titans is giving 240 agility now at max stacks
100% autoattack
#AssassinationLifesMatters
THEY CANT NERF THAT
Sure they can
Dodge, parry
@strange python haha i was thjnking of that
from behind!
they add in hit rating!
just did a mythic. the nerf feels really noticeable on 3 targets but on bosses not as much
If we dont lock in our traits they cant nerf em bois 
It's ok, just reroll to Feral, all they feel are buffs FeelsGoodMan
for anyone who wanted to hear some feelycraft

is the changes there on simulationcraft.org?
No
How am i gonna beat DH dps now 
Then go update the APL yourself
is the nerf really that bad?
Maybe if we use the worst traits, theyll buff the good ones🤔
no, ppl are over reacting
Have to do manual setups 😡 what is this BS
@broken fiber swapblast them on pull timer 1
@ocean heath i lost 1k in st 13.3 to 12.2. and 1k in cleave from 29k to 28k 6t40s.
