or mut env gar

crimson palm
#

it depends

normal olive
#

and what about env gar mut

#

or env mut gar

balmy condor
#

like I can't think of a situation where you MUST NOW refresh your garrote, and the envenom is gonna be like 4-5 seconds away from a mut

#

and if it is, pool better

crimson palm
#

thats the point

#

it removed the pooling factor

#

it's w/e

#

and probably gonna scale better with haste over the longer dur

balmy condor
#

well then its a nerf cause the dot is now 8 seconds and you're gonna override it

#

so its a QoL buff for small brainers

#

and an actual nerf for big brainers

grizzled jay
#

@crimson palm Doomblade was always 8s on beta tho

balmy condor
#

that's what I heard as well

crimson palm
#

i havent touched assa on beta

balmy condor
#

so in the end, just a tooltip change

crimson palm
#

so no clue

#

😄

grizzled jay
#

was just letting you know

surreal solar
#

it was always 8 and it functions like ignite

#

but, the dmg is very smol

winter moss
#

well i hope this is just the start of a tuning campaign and we get some buffs

strange python
#

how viable is Sin looking in SL, new to rogue. But decided to it make it my main alt for SL

balmy condor
#

looking fine for raids

#

mythic+ is a little questionable atm

#

but otherwise fine

strange python
#

i take it outlaw is still M+ king in SL

winter moss
#

so p much same as bfa

strange python
#

or am i wrong

balmy condor
#

yep

strange python
#

mmm, not a big fan of outlaw

balmy condor
#

welcome to the chill zone then :)

strange python
#

even with hidden blades is Sin not that great in keys?

#

dont make me PeepoCry

balmy condor
#

hidden blades is only good cause the other options aren't great

#

its anti-synergy to the playstyle

#

poison bomb has design issues and rng

#

crimson tempest just isn't strong enough on shorter pulls

#

(this is all shadowlands btw, if you take hidden blades in bfa you're trolling)

strange python
#

right now im bfa im playing outlaw

#

dont know anything about Sin in keys for bfa

balmy condor
#

ye, sin only works in keys atm because of SS

#

and corruptions

strange python
#

outlaw does look better playstyle wise in beta without spamming roll the the bones

balmy condor
#

I tend to agree

strange python
#

i might actually enjoy outlaw with the changes

balmy condor
#

I probably won't KEK

normal olive
#

Outlaw

grizzled jay
#

this is The Weeb Zone

#

get it right, Whispyr

balmy condor
#

that's Weebspyr to you, peasant

grizzled jay
#

excuse u

normal olive
#

Who is Schmokspyr?

verbal mantle
#

swamp peepohappy

balmy condor
verbal mantle
#

Whispyr personal quarters

balmy condor
#

swamp:
super wet ✅
slow and chill ✅
monster ✅
witches brewing love potions ✅

sin channel:
drippin as fuck ✅
pretty quiet ✅
whispyr ✅
wholesome vibes ✅

#

where's the fucking difference

verbal mantle
#

sin chan is most chill channel atm

#

i didnt study enough about castle nathria yet
but i wonder of there will be a boss more favorable for sin

#

than a ST target where sub should be ahead

balmy condor
#

bench is looking quite sin-friendly

verbal mantle
balmy condor
#

I think that's second to last boss?

verbal mantle
#

im talkin about mythic prog ofc

#

but idk

strange python
#

yea the bench prog

verbal mantle
#

will see but id love to see one or two bosses

#

for sin

balmy condor
#

huntsman seems like a pretty obvious candidate

#

but its boss 2

#

so kinda irrelevant

verbal mantle
#

yeh I thought about it as well

#

but kinda meh

strange python
#

i mean tbh, sin is probably gonna do similar damage after final tuning

#

in ST

balmy condor
#

but also sub mastery affecting rupture more than sin mastery affecting rupture

#

kinda yikes

#

we'll have to see though

#

and pray for heroic tuning to bring us back

verbal mantle
#

kinda yeh lul

balmy condor
#

cause looks like sub is still ridiculous

#

anyway, lunch time

strange python
#

for all we know, sub can get destroyed tomorrow, and sin over buffed

balmy condor
verbal mantle
#

it will be much clearer after hc tuning yeh

#

as usual

#

have a good lunch

grizzled jay
#

whispyr ✅

whispyr 📉

fixed that for you

balmy condor
#

I am undoubtably the swamp monster of sin though

grizzled jay
#

i'd more call you the token furry

balmy condor
#

Wow rude

fleet whale
#

i love how the slaughter tooltip was updated to say that you replace your poison with a more powerful lethal poison

#

still just deadly poison but shadow damage lol

balmy condor
#

Shadow > nature confirmed

verbal mantle
#

5head blizzard

balmy condor
#

reroll sub

#

Sin dead

verbal mantle
#

nothing new

fleet whale
#

that akaari nerf was kind of a joke tbh

#

combo points are still there

#

does shadow damage now

balmy condor
#

Yeah and it’s actually not even a nerf cause deepening daggers apparently

#

I didn’t think it would work

fleet whale
#

that nerf

balmy condor
#

But apparently it works on undead racial

fleet whale
#

is just further confirmation that few devs actually play rogue

#

if any

balmy condor
#

So it’ll work on akaari’s too

cosmic forum
#

no confirmation yet on the cp's working

#

just fyi

balmy condor
#

Not documented that it doesn’t

cosmic forum
#

correct

balmy condor
#

So pretty safe to assume it still does

cosmic forum
#

unless it was a bug

#

because it never states there should be cp's there

#

so who knows

fleet whale
#

well placed steel is so good

#

100% shiv damage

#

like how can you beat that?

balmy condor
normal olive
#

wait shiv does 6 dmg then?

balmy condor
#

Maybe even 9 if you crit

#

Nah but shiv actually does some damage now

#

It’s still not great

#

But it’s not nonexistent anymore lmao

grizzled jay
#

gonna be dank for Sin

balmy condor
#

Not as dank as damage trinkets

grizzled jay
#

Simp Rogue 😌

#

or Ocarina + Stone Legion trinket

balmy condor
#

Stat trinkets though

#

Big poop

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor Sepsis got added to Shiv +nature damage.

balmy condor
#

I know

grizzled jay
#

big pogchamp

normal olive
#

does it work with the shiv legendary

#

that would be funny

grizzled jay
#

Tiny Toxic hasn't worked since Alpha

#

So we can't test if it does or not

normal olive
#

still broken?

#

lul

balmy condor
#

Also sepsis isn’t a poison

#

So doubtful

grizzled jay
balmy condor
#

What even is that

grizzled jay
balmy condor
#

Looks like notepad++

#

Oh you’re reading from github

#

I see

grizzled jay
#

i trust

#

Sepsis buff adding more power to the DoT makes the Conduit slightly stronger and if it also gets affected by Shiv.. 🤔

#

I'll have to make a Night Fae Rogue rq and test it out

balmy condor
#

I fucking hate sepsis tbh

normal olive
#

:c

#

u wot

balmy condor
#

More stealth and vanish interaction for damage

#

Is the opposite of what sin needs

normal olive
#

I like it

balmy condor
#

You like having to vanish for damage when the other two specs can use it for utility?

normal olive
#

it's one more button to press

balmy condor
normal olive
#

I just like the idea of Night Fae tbh

#

since i don't have beta i can't say if i actually like it

balmy condor
#

Anything that makes the stealth talent row stronger is bad in my book

low girder
#

but think of all the subt garrotes you could throw out in M+

normal olive
#

It sounds more intresting then "press this button for an infinite dot" or "you get a diffrent poison"

balmy condor
#

Idc if it’s more interesting

#

It’s stealth reliance

surreal solar
#

i just really want to stay away from mantle, so im with whispyr, if it means mantle, im staying away from night fae

balmy condor
#

Stealth reliance is a fucking disaster

normal olive
#

Why do you guys dislike it so much tho

balmy condor
#

It’s stealth reliance
@balmy condor

#

Bruh.jpg

#

I’ve literally been saying why

surreal solar
#

mantle, was the most annoying thing for me in legion

low girder
#

idk with shadowlands both the other specs have big reliance too

normal olive
#

I liked mantle in legion

balmy condor
surreal solar
#

hated it

normal olive
balmy condor
#

No they don’t

low girder
#

count the odds conduit

#

will be mandatory

balmy condor
#

What’s sub get from vanish

normal olive
#

Well the stealth reliance is only m+ tho

#

and i fucking dispise m+

low girder
#

another slaughter hit kekw

normal olive
#

burning piece of trash

balmy condor
#

Wow great vanish kekw

#

M+ is the only content that makes me happy

surreal solar
#

i'll still take bone spike at this point

normal olive
#

I only do m+ because i'm bored and people need someone

#

otherwise i'd never touch that shit

low girder
#

i'd need a stable group

#

and i've never had one

#

so it doesn't interest me, maybe in SL i'll get one

balmy condor
#

I’ve had stable groups but we’re still bad lul

low girder
#

lol

normal olive
#

xD

low girder
#

yeah but then it's at least fun

#

pugging isn't fun

#

imo

verbal mantle
#

why you NA feelscryman

balmy condor
#

True

normal olive
#

Yeah why u NA

balmy condor
#

EU friendly stream tomorrow dw navi PepeHands

normal olive
#

Are you kidding me?

#

I'm not home tomorrow

balmy condor
normal olive
#

Y u do dis

balmy condor
#

Path of exile league man

normal olive
#

But yeah, for m+ i can see how stealth reliance is annoing, but for raiding i really like it

balmy condor
#

I don’t make the rules

#

Atal has 3 vanish skips

normal olive
#

i only do +15s

balmy condor
#

Which means as sin

normal olive
#

and some +20s when people force me

balmy condor
#

You fucking done for lul

normal olive
#

i don't use vanish and vendetta 70% of the time because i forget i can use it on adds

#

m+ god

balmy condor
normal olive
#

8.3 is the first time i actually did some m+

#

so yeah

#

Since i had a break since ToS

vital haven
#

You eu or na @normal olive ?

balmy condor
#

he's eu

normal olive
#

EU

fair ether
#

is assassination still good for pvp or sub is first now ?

normal olive
balmy copper
#

rip celerity now?

normal olive
#

yes

balmy copper
#

god dammit

normal olive
#

only outlaw now

balmy condor
#

no

#

its not

normal olive
#

didn't they change it?

balmy copper
#

sub channel says it's not proccing

balmy condor
#

celerity change is literally just a tooltip change

#

is it not proccing off of snd anymore?

balmy copper
#

not when spec'd as sub, no

normal olive
#

nah whispyr is right

#

still says during SnD

balmy copper
#

I mean I know it's a tooltip change

surreal solar
#

it's Adrenaline only on wowhead

balmy copper
#

I mean they aren't gaining AR with SnD rolling

#

from what i've read

normal olive
#

"Adrenaline Rush increases your damage by 15%, and you have a chance while Slice and Dice is active to gain the Adrenaline Rush effect for 4 sec."

balmy copper
#

if anyone could test that'd be great lol

low girder
#

People in sub were saying it doesn't proc anymore

balmy copper
#

yep

low girder
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

normal olive
#

Gotta test it

#

but no beta

low girder
#

Don't have beta though

balmy copper
#

me neither

normal olive
balmy copper
#

no beta club unite

surreal solar
#

not meant to have it anyways, it's an outlaw legendary

balmy condor
#

no beta lul

#

I have to take people's word on it as well

#

it looked like just a tooltip change

fleet whale
#

unless if blizz specifically says it

#

stuff like celerity not working for Sin or sub probably won't be visible in datamined notes

#

like akaari's no longer grants extra cps

#

even though the datamining doesn't actually mention that

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

there's just so many things that might be bugs

#

or might not be bugs

#

and not documented anywhere

#

and no communication

fleet whale
#

now if was live and akaari got the cp part remove

#

there would likely be hotfix notes on it

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but its beta

#

so fuck us I guess

fleet whale
#

blizz doesn't usually post beta hotfix notes

balmy condor
#

akaari just loses all the cp kek test it yourself nerds

vast forum
#

i'll go test celerity 🙂

balmy condor
vast forum
#

well

#

idk how long i should hit the dummy for

#

but it's not proccing on sub

balmy condor
#

that we knew

#

probably doesn't work in sin either

vast forum
#

gonna test it on assa too i guess

balmy condor
#

but can you test that for me?

vast forum
#

ye testing

#

idk what the proc rate is supposed to be but >1 min in, 0 procs 😄

balmy condor
balmy copper
#

rip

fleet whale
#

i mean the leggo was pretty clearly designed for outlaw

vast forum
#

procs pretty often for outlaw 😄

#

so yea, fixed

balmy condor
#

poggers

#

akaari cp gone
celerity gone

balmy copper
#

it's designed for outlaw but working cross spec wasn't that bad tbh

balmy condor
#

dashing, unchanged

balmy copper
#

when it's clearly better for outlaw already

balmy condor
#

don't tell blizz

fleet whale
#

I'm not a fan of cross speccing cd's

balmy condor
#

I also am not much of a fan

gray marlin
#

celerity not working anymore on sub or sin?

pallid mesa
#

correct, as it should be

balmy condor
#

Yep, outlaw only

fallow otter
#

Dashing going to remain how it is imo, you guys expecting it to get nerfed a bit?

low girder
#

Dashing? eh, maybe

#

prolly not though

fallow otter
#

Whispr is expecting the nerfs I can feel it

#

Have faith dood

balmy condor
#

I’m expecting nurfs

#

I want zoldyck m+ poison dream

#

Buff slaughter poison like the “empowered” or whatever said

#

Pair it with the fok poison stuff

#

Big poison m+

#

Zoldyck for bleed and poison single target

#

Fuck ma, reverse synergy with subterfuge

#

I’m here for it

jolly comet
#

that would be awesome imo too

balmy condor
#

All they need to do is make poison bomb 15x stronger

#

And we’d basically be back to legion

low girder
fallow otter
#

Be good if we don't need to vanish for damage

#

I agree

low girder
#

to be clear i just don't want poison bomb to be back to legion levels

#

rest is cool

jolly comet
#

didnt PB only proc on envenom in legion?

low girder
#

they changed it to rupture as well at some point

fallow otter
#

I just want it to do damage

balmy condor
#

yeah the pb part is a meme

surreal solar
#

i think it did both but it had a like, 5% chance

balmy condor
#

I'm actually sort of interested in hidden blades

#

its fresh

#

cause it sucked so bad all expac

fallow otter
#

Actually

#

Fuck sins last row

balmy condor
#

tru

fallow otter
#

CT I'm alright with

#

But it's gotta be one of the weakest last rows for a class

#

Feels like it

jolly comet
#

yea the RNG on PB is lame would be better as a cd

vestal dune
#

It was controllable tho

balmy condor
#

it wasn't tho

vestal dune
#

If you tracked the time from the last PB, you could kinda guess when the next one was coming more or less

balmy condor
#

oh

vestal dune
#

Like if you are finishing a pull and it has been +40 secs since the last one

balmy condor
#

that's what you mean

#

yuck

vestal dune
#

You hold envenom

balmy condor
#

I hated that

vestal dune
#

And you had 1 for the next pull for sure

lost portal
#

It wasn't trackable at all

#

I had a vari pull with 1 proc

#

It was pure rng

surreal solar
#

yeah, it was rng

vestal dune
#

I spent 1 hour on the dummies testing it

#

It was rng

fallow otter
#

You compare PB or hidden blades to darksoul what a joke bro

vestal dune
#

but it was quite consistent

#

with a few outliners

#

Like 80% of the time, with +1 min since last PB

surreal solar
#

because on a 1min 30sec M Harj pull, i had it doing 17% of my dmg, other times it was 7% or 12%

#

its random

vestal dune
#

you could get one in the next 2 envenoms or so

surreal solar
#

never controlled

vestal dune
#

I don't remember the numbers exactly anymore

balmy condor
#

yeah I think its rng as well

#

but I hated the fact that you would pray

vestal dune
#

Noadays I think it's different

balmy condor
#

for a pb on opener

vestal dune
#

nowadays*

balmy condor
#

I don't think you could ever track it though

surreal solar
#

*pray for tanks to not move out of pb

vestal dune
#

You could 100%

balmy condor
#

weakaura to scream when your pb procced in m+

vestal dune
#

I had a notepad with all the procs

surreal solar
#

i could get pbs, but tanks would literally scoot out

balmy condor
#

a notepad

#

well

#

that settles it

vestal dune
#

No man, but what I mean

#

I tested using envenoms instaly after getting a proc

#

and then waiting X time after one

#

I think with 2 mins since last one, you had a proc almsot for sure

#

But this was in legion

#

the way it works got changed I believe

#

And the dmg got nerfed enough not to make it worht to track

grizzled jay
balmy condor
#

wasn't work tracking to begin with kekchamp

#

also that staff with the stat changes

#

omega rip

vestal dune
#

It was a +1 million dmg proc on pulls

balmy condor
#

1 haste item instantly taking you to 20% DR

vestal dune
#

at the end of pulls you could avoid using 1 or 2 envenoms

#

and secure one PB proc on the next one

wispy quail
#

SL Question: Is shrouded suffocation built into anything moving forward? Furthermore, will assassination play similarly in m+, with garrote openers, poisons and ruptures?

low girder
#

in terms of shrouded suffocation, no, there's nothing like it in SL

wispy quail
#

Kk

low girder
#

it should play fairly similar in M+

wispy quail
#

Thx!

honest vessel
#

seems like celerity doesnt work on sin anymore? anyone else havin the same results?

low girder
#

it's apparently been locked to outlaw only, yeah

manic harness
#

I heard something about Venthyr and Slaughter Poison outscaling Bone Spike at some higher conduit level?

honest vessel
#

for sub

#

since they get way more outta slaughter

low girder
#

it didn't quite outscale for sub before this build

#

got closer than it does for sin though

honest vessel
#

? thats not what i remember seeing from fuu's sims

#

but i mean, they arent super important, since its at max conduit level

low girder
#

oh i reversed them

honest vessel
#

o

low girder
#

yeah, venthyr wins, but anyway, it's not bad for sin

#

but doesn't quite get there

#

(with conduits)

honest vessel
#

!bugs

prisma monolithBOT
low girder
#

there's a lot of tuning to go still though, so no reason to pick now

balmy condor
#

Yeah the whole “empowered poison”

#

Is ominous

lavish turret
#

I'm behind on the news, but so far venthyr is the worst (currently) for rogues out of the 4 covenants. BUT I WANT TO PLAY IT FOR THE CLASS FANTASY. BUT I DON'T WANNA SUCK. 😩

low girder
#

uh, no

#

kyrian is worst lol

#

for now

lavish turret
#

oh?

balmy condor
#

Kyrian is BY FAR the worst

ruby ibex
#

How are we looking come prepatch? Is Ass gonna still be top dog, or is it gonna tank? And how are we looking at Artifact traits? I've been told Heart is just gonna be... gone?

balmy condor
#

Like ain’t even close bad

#

Heart is fine

#

Traits are fine

#

Essences are fine

#

Literally just corruptions gone

low girder
#

the only time it's good vs venthyr is if you use literally nothing, no conduits, nothing

balmy condor
#

Take your haste set that you use now

low girder
#

and even then, the other two stomp it

balmy condor
#

Take alacrity if you’re missing sockets and mythic pieces

#

And gg

ruby ibex
#

Also, Kyrian is so solid, I love not being able to benefit from it because crit chance gives extra combo points so we will never be able to use the ability 🙄

balmy condor
#

I had prepatch sims laying around here somewhere

#

Cause someone else asked

#

Let me get back to my pc

#

I’m on a walk atm

ruby ibex
#

Walk > Sims

balmy condor
#

Definitely not

#

Walks are dumb and stupid but it’s warm inside and my therapist said I should try going on walks

#

Anyways

#

Blindside seemed mega suck

fallow otter
#

Heart is fine
@balmy condor how you going to activate it

ruby ibex
#

^^

balmy condor
#

Heart as in the necklace

#

Not the trait

#

Trait is poop

#

Take np or something

fallow otter
#

Crit build going to be the pog

balmy condor
#

All the bis raid stuff has np or dd on them

#

I didn’t sim full crit build

ruby ibex
#

Gibbering, Gorak, and Tortured would all be Nothing Personal D:

balmy condor
#

But from what I saw

#

Dd/poison < bleed

#

Cause no Tb

low girder
#

yeah no shiv r2 til 58

fallow otter
#

You mean exsang?

balmy condor
#

Exsang was also simming higher for fully geared people

#

No, I mean tb

fallow otter
#

Nah I mean

#

Exsang is bleed?

balmy condor
#

Yes

low girder
#

was beating alacrity?

#

we get a few more weeks out of it then

balmy condor
#

For fully poppin mythic people yeah

#

Like full haste stats and iris/memory

lavish turret
#

exsang has worked best

balmy condor
#

Was still pumping like 56-57 apm

fallow otter
#

Im in that pile

balmy condor
#

At 50ish% haste

#

When you got 55ish APM, that 10% from alacrity kinda suck

ruby ibex
#

I keep forgetting that Rogues are a pooling class because of all this haste

fallow otter
#

What did you sim? Just no corruptions?

#

Simcraft manual?

balmy condor
#

No corruption, memory, I changed all the hearts out for np/dd/etc

#

Goraks

fallow otter
#

Ah yep kk

balmy condor
#

Yeah on the beta branch

#

Also set level to 50 obviously

#

Which is probably why the haste is so high

#

Memory kinda carries apm super hard

#

And the guy I was simming

fallow otter
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

Was like 42% haste baseline

#

Without any corruptions

low girder
#

i think i'm higher than that on ptr

#

lmao

balmy condor
#

Yeah he had a couple crit/mast pieces

fallow otter
#

Once I gem haste maybe even wrath trinket?

balmy condor
#

Probably not

#

If you’re playing exsang the burst is still too good

#

It’s still 3x SS and goraks and all that

low girder
#

yeah ss still makes it nuts

fallow otter
#

Why not still clock

low girder
#

i lied, i'm at 36%

#

got a couple crit gems though

balmy condor
#

Goraks beats clock

bleak spoke
#

Exsang simmed best for me on prog when I had literally no expedient yeah

fallow otter
#

Even 3m?

ruby ibex
#

Are they changing what is offered in the Heart of Darkness slot? because with Gibbering/Gorak/Tortured it would wind up being 3x SS and 3x NP

balmy condor
#

Clock got buffed by exped

fallow otter
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

Why would you take NP on gorak

#

???

fallow otter
#

Lol

bleak spoke
#

Blightborne is insane

fallow otter
#

Ye bi is bigboi

ruby ibex
#

Oh I derped, Gorak isnt HoD lol

#

The other two tho

bleak spoke
#

Hod would be from the ilg shoulders

balmy condor
#

Don’t use those

#

:P

bleak spoke
#

Are they bad

low girder
#

NP isn't terrible even on live

#

it'll be fine

balmy condor
#

Yeah but goraks is strictly better

low girder
#

i meant on the other 2 pieces

bleak spoke
#

Yeh though the energy is quite redundant with the expedients

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Np on the others is good

bleak spoke
#

We probably won’t have the haste to play ct anymore

low girder
#

def not

balmy condor
#

Definitely not

fallow otter
#

Im ready for np ss vop major meme exsang build

low girder
#

we still blindside when you checked?

#

blindside exsang sounds fun

bleak spoke
#

Blindside poggering

lavish turret
#

i'm not big on blindside

bleak spoke
#

Seems unlikely though given EP in exsang window is probably pretty wild

low girder
#

yeah idk

balmy condor
#

Here, the TLDR
Ptr sin is the same as live except for:

  1. Blindside sucks because we have high apm, high EP uptime
  2. Poison bomb > ct
  3. Change all your hods out
  4. Equip memory again
#

That’s it

bleak spoke
#

As long as you’re wearing shrouded it seems unlikely

low girder
#

rip

bleak spoke
#

Lucid minor yet again

#

Hello darkness my old friend

ruby ibex
#

BotE // EotFI+BotD+MLD?

fallow otter
#

Did anyone sim without breath, I mean it's always been awesome but also required until now

bleak spoke
#

Probably clf

balmy condor
#

EotFI

#

What the fuck is that

ruby ibex
#

Iris

bleak spoke
#

Iris

balmy condor
#

Holy shit just call it iris then

ruby ibex
#

Capital I is a baby l

low girder
#

lmao

bleak spoke
#

I read it 3 times and got it

balmy condor
#

The acronym is legit longer than the short hand

#

Wtf my dude

bleak spoke
#

Seems fine kekw

ruby ibex
#

I was on a roll!

bleak spoke
#

What is mld

balmy condor
#

Breath is still pog

#

Btw

bleak spoke
#

I don’t want to use my brain anymore

balmy condor
#

Just for damage

#

Memory lucid dreams

fallow otter
#

I thought your shift button was broke

balmy condor
#

I assume

bleak spoke
#

...

balmy condor
#

Because then we got lazy

#

And forgot the “of”

bleak spoke
#

Lucid, iris, breathe

low girder
#

^

ruby ibex
#

Blood // Iris+Breath+Memories gahd

bleak spoke
#

Very easy very clear

balmy condor
#

Blood was simming higher last I checked

fallow otter
#

It's MofLD guyd

low girder
#

makes sense tbh

#

no haste amp

balmy condor
#

Yeah

bleak spoke
#

Than rock man?

#

Oh yeah

fallow otter
#

Get it right

bleak spoke
#

I guess it’s a haste % amp

#

Kinda like lust or meta or incarn

balmy condor
#

And also with CLF you would have to replace the bote/breath/Iris minor with memory/breath/iris

#

And that’s kinda rip

low girder
#

first time we've had nerfed CLF without exp holding it up

balmy condor
#

So bote/memory/iris/breath

#

Yes

#

CLF, probably not

low girder
#

back to prog essences

#

woo

ruby ibex
#

CLF is dead to me, because I don't have it, so... that's good. Healthy.

bleak spoke
#

Man prog essences were wv major for me

balmy condor
#

Ah

#

Found the sim

bleak spoke
#

Big tb gaming

balmy condor
low girder
#

our melee dropped WV so fast

#

lmao

bleak spoke
#

What

fallow otter
#

It's shocking to me that MofLD isn't catching on peepoguns

low girder
#

idk no one used it after like maut

balmy condor
#

Look at all that blindside at the bottom

bleak spoke
#

I’m not playing tb deeper subterfuge

fallow otter
#

It can stay there imo

bleak spoke
#

I literally

#

Rather do less damage

low girder
#

there's no TB

balmy condor
#

Yeah that was with alacrity

lavish turret
#

is poison referring to poison bomb

bleak spoke
#

It says poison vs bleed

#

Oh

low girder
#

yeah, but TB is gone

icy ember
#

shiv PES_CoolNerd

ruby ibex
#

Poison = Posion bomb, or... Master Poisoner? Don't hate me more, please.

low girder
#

and shiv with TB stuff is 58, so

#

rip

balmy condor
#

Nah nah nah

#

“Poison” is the shorthand I used

bleak spoke
#

Oh yeah we get shiv default

balmy condor
#

For dd builds

fallow otter
#

Inb4 dps requirement for killing nzoth is 1k pogu

balmy condor
#

It’s just like a crit build atm

low girder
#

we're gonna lose buttons kinda

bleak spoke
#

Wait what is the opener with shiv exsang

low girder
#

you don't shiv

balmy condor
#

Yeah

low girder
#

not in prepatch

#

no dmg amp until SL

balmy condor
#

Shiv does nothing in pretach

bleak spoke
#

... wat

#

So we just

low girder
#

it's lvl 58 for the r2

#

lol

bleak spoke
#

Lose tb

balmy condor
#

You don’t cast shiv

low girder
#

yeah

bleak spoke
#

Thanks blizz

icy ember
low girder
#

and replace CT with SND

#

ggez

bleak spoke
#

Ah

fallow otter
#

Fml

bleak spoke
#

So alacrity vs exsang then?

balmy condor
#

Yeah

bleak spoke
#

Surely exsang with shrouded and like a galecallers or something would own

balmy condor
#

That’s “bleed” in the middle

bleak spoke
#

Compared to just the base haste

#

Oh

#

I guess it doesn’t own

icy ember
#

well corruption is gone w/the prepatch right

bleak spoke
#

This is gonna be some venom rush tier gaming

fallow otter
#

Hahaha

balmy condor
#

100% not

#

Fuck that noise

bleak spoke
#

Yeah but exsang simmed better for me before I got any expedient

#

No but effectively the gameplay is the same

#

As if you had vr

balmy condor
#

Sure

icy ember
fallow otter
#

I felt 8 people cringe reading that @bleak spoke hahaha

bleak spoke
#

Like tb or exsang are just such a big part of your experience as sin idk

#

Rotation gonna feel so fucking empty

fallow otter
#

VR peophammer

balmy condor
#

Wat

bleak spoke
#

If we don’t have shiv to press

balmy condor
#

Prepatch always fucked

ruby ibex
#

Virtual Reality

bleak spoke
#

Venom rush

balmy condor
#

Venom rush

ruby ibex
#

Agree to disagree blobshrug

low girder
#

Vdead Rtalent

icy ember
#

i dont even know what venom rush does

balmy condor
#

Nah he’s right that it’s empty in prepatch

icy ember
#

that is how foreign a talent it is to me

balmy condor
#

It reduces mutilate cost

#

By 5

low girder
#

if the target is poisoned

bleak spoke
#

Lowers cast cost of muti

low girder
#

it's awful

bleak spoke
#

It’s fucking awful

#

Yeah

low girder
#

literally never been used since it got changed to that

bleak spoke
#

Not just awful for damage but also awful to play

fallow otter
#

What we going to change the macro button to do? /dance?

ruby ibex
#

It reduces now? No longer a refund? lol

balmy condor
#

It’s a refund

#

But it’s the same thing

bleak spoke
#

Not exactly but I’m being pedantic

low girder
#

lol

ruby ibex
#

Shallow and pedantic

balmy condor
#

Refund and reduce is the same thing realistically

bleak spoke
#

That difference is only important for subtlety innit

low girder
#

it's just so we don't break shit with some interactions

#

that they could add

bleak spoke
#

Like if deepening wasnt a refund but a cost reduction

#

It would be way more forgiving

fallow otter
#

Whisp just going to have an empty hole where exsang used to be coz he drags it down every respec

icy ember
#

i feel like im going to play sub and just forget sin exists

bleak spoke
#

Err not deepening, I meant relentless

icy ember
#

until its effective again

balmy condor
#

XD

bleak spoke
#

The 6e/cp spent passive

low girder
#

until sub gets balanced, you mean

balmy condor
#

Just play your exsang build in prepatch

#

It’ll be fine

fallow otter
#

The macro lives!

bleak spoke
#

Nah gonna be playing outlaw

marble tartan
#

Imagine pressing exsang when you only have 3 secs on your dots left thisisfine

balmy condor
#

Like 4% behind

bleak spoke
#

With both blood and bte amp

balmy condor
#

Not that bad

fallow otter
#

Im going to play affliction

icy ember
#

exsang haHAA

bleak spoke
#

Gonna be fun

low girder
#

i'll play all of em

#

what else is prepatch for

icy ember
#

ye same

marble tartan
#

@fallow otter stop that cringe war

bleak spoke
#

Yeah obviously gonna just relearn all specs

#

Though I don’t think sin will take much

fallow otter
#

Prepatch is a meme fiesta

low girder
#

it won't, i haven't played sub in 2+ years

#

so that's what i'll be focusing on

bleak spoke
#

Subtlety will take a while

#

Last time was uldir for me

low girder
#

yeah i lost track of time

#

so 1.5 years

bleak spoke
#

It’s been a while yeah

#

I’m pretty excited tbh

marble tartan
#

Uldir is like a weird one

icy ember
#

nah sub feels easy to me after playing it on the beta for a few hours

low girder
#

gotta wait for a boss for that

bleak spoke
#

I tried it a bit on ptr and it feels more forgiving

icy ember
#

i fought a target dummy for 2 hours

bleak spoke
#

At least on a target dummy

fallow otter
#

@icy ember have another go now that akaaris doesn't give cp

icy ember
#

ye i bet dance feels reduced kekBomb

bleak spoke
#

TFD and inevitability with new sub kekw

#

Prepatch gonna be big meme

balmy condor
#

Always has been

bleak spoke
#

Wits with new flurry too

icy ember
#

no wits MonkaChrist

bleak spoke
#

Really feels like sin got nothing

fallow otter
#

Ohhh yeh

bleak spoke
#

Man I’m gonna miss wits, even this shitty version of it

low girder
#

gonna miss SS

#

tbh

fallow otter
#

I mean... Sub probs the fun thing to do for prepatch

icy ember
#

^

bleak spoke
#

Shrouded combo points yeah

low girder
#

was hoping they'd add it in somewhere

#

oh well

bleak spoke
#

It actually just feels so good

#

Yeah they should have just baked it into subterfuge

jaunty crystal
#

damn I didn't even think about missing that

#

but now I'm sad

low girder
#

i think they'd have to do a big pass on the other two talents if they did

#

which i mean, they should anyway

bleak spoke
#

i mean nightstalker is so janky

balmy condor
#

All the sin talents need a looking at

#

It’s all janky

low girder
#

why does MA exist

#

lol

#

if they're bringing the leggo back

bleak spoke
#

could make it so any crit over 100% converts to bonus damage

#

then you could be the master master assassin assassin

low girder
#

comboooooost

#

wait

bleak spoke
#

no that spec is dead

low girder
bleak spoke
#

apparently fires don't spread if there aren't phoenixes around

low girder
#

well yeah, that's how it works IRL too

#

damn phoenixes

bleak spoke
#

lots of phoenixes on the west coast of the us right now monkaS

balmy condor
#

Can vouch for Phoenixes

bleak spoke
#

you'd think that after so many rebirths they wouldn't need any more gender reveal parties

#

okay that's enough this is a spec channel me sorry

balmy condor
#

Might just be pigeons on Fire though

fallow otter
#

Next you gonna tell me I can't cook on my combooosted mages

low girder
#

they should be flagged as campfires

#

why not

fallow otter
#

They already are

low girder
#

oh shit lmao

#

how did i not know this

fallow otter
#

Can cook off rag pet also

low girder
#

that i knew at least

gloomy knoll
#

lots of phoenixes on the west coast of the us right now <monkaSthe one time I come into assassination 😂

placid dawn
#

I want prepatch already, im tired of corruption 😦

sick scarab
#

agree 🙂 they sucks 🙂

full bear
#

Whoever thought corruption was a better idea over titanforging must have been out of their mind

#

And I can't believe I am saying that

sick scarab
#

tbh i am really happy about the m+ loot nerf..

#

so raid will be more relevant.. .. old times taste imho

full bear
#

Same

#

Covenants are going to be a mess though. Thank god I am part of a raiding guild that doesn't really care which one you pick because I really dislike necrolord aesthetic hahaha

sick scarab
#

m+ imho were just mhe..

winter moss
#

ahem

sick scarab
#

i will go fae i think

#

cause bonespike will get nerfed for sure

#

and i think sepsis give us more stuff..

placid dawn
#

On prepatch, we won't even be using shiv right? since it does nothing

#

so, is the rotation literally maintain bleeds and env?

full bear
#

Shiv basically functions the same as toxic blade on live

placid dawn
#

isnt the shiv nature damage for lvl 56 though?

#

so at 50 it just does the poison thing

full bear
#

Let me log in to beta and check

sick scarab
#

who cares about prepatch 🙂 shiv for assa will be like tocis blade so

placid dawn
#

not on prepatch though

low girder
#

Correct. You will not be pressing shiv in prepatch

placid dawn
#

my guild will raid since a couple guys are missing mounts

full bear
#

Seems very strange to add shiv in to the rotation whilst leveling later

#

It changes from utility to core rotation ability

sick scarab
#

imho on prepatch just play as usual .. no prob

low girder
#

Why would you intentionally hit a button that doesn't do anything

#

Lol

sick scarab
#

true 🙂

placid dawn
#

we are slowly becoming a 2 button spec

sick scarab
#

the thing i will miss will be SS

full bear
#

Sin has always been easy

sick scarab
#

well we are low apm class tbh

#

maintain bleeds that asllo

#

alll

low girder
#

We're not. We have snd, the two dots, exsang is still used in prepatch assuming you're well geared

sick scarab
#

i dont like snd on assa but i will see 🙂

placid dawn
#

forgot about snd, at least thats something

#

we might even use blindside POG

full bear
#

recupricate return when

strange python
#

We have improved poison on prepatch?

low girder
#

Like the rank 2 thing? No

#

Tbh idk if it even works yet.

#

Was bugged last build still at least

strange python
#

Ok, i would like to play with mp again

full bear
#

Can I rant about how stupid slaughter is for sin

low girder
#

I mean you can, but it's better for us than it is for outlaw

full bear
#

It does the exact same damage as ambush only it leaves a dot. It's so uninspired

low girder
#

That's what the conduit is for

full bear
#

What does the conduit do?

low girder
full bear
#

Still seems a tad uninspired

low girder
#

Kinda

full bear
#

I guess it kind of fits the theme of sin being the easier rogue spec but come on

#

It's that I am a sucker for vampires or otherwise I would be truly lost on what covenant to pick

low girder
#

It's not just a sin thing though

full bear
#

I know

low girder
#

Also it works with blindside

#

So it's aight

#

Bone spike still king for now though

full bear
#

Not sure if they're leaving bone spike as it is, but considering that rogues did not get a lot of attention during the beta I'm assuming they're leaving it how it is

low girder
#

Tuning only just started, there's still lots to do

full bear
#

I guess

#

If they do, my guess is that the Kyrian ability gets a buff as well

low girder
#

I'm sure that one will get looked at, in one way or another

full bear
#

The animacharging of the combo point is what I have the most issue with though

low girder
#

Is most people's biggest issue. Wouldn't be too hard to remake, if that's what they want. Probably too late for that though.

#

I just expect some sort of dmg buff

full bear
#

Yeah, and to be honest, it sucks but it's also understandable compared to the dumpster fire some classes were like shadow priest

low girder
#

It does, but I think they can play around within the ability they've made and make it a bit less frustrating to play. We'll see.

full bear
#

Based on the name, I think a rework where the ability "mimics" your finishers for a limited time for extra damage would be kickass

vale marten
#

has any1 tried using sepsis with nighstalker? does the whole dot duration gets 20% damage increase?

sick scarab
#

subterfuge wiht sepsis imho is better

#

but we have to wait and see

vale marten
#

subterfuge only works with garrote tho, thats why im asking cuz a 20% increase on full sepsis dot could be big

sick scarab
#

i see it give 10% mov increase and 12% damage increase while stealth is active

#

20% mov increase

#

or am i wrong ^

#

?

vale marten
#

righ, could be but still

shrewd night
#

12% is for sub

delicate bone
#

The kyrian ability is so zzzz, they’d have to fully rework it or make it the best by far for me to run it

crimson palm
tender folio
#

I'm probably choosing Venthyr , don't care about bonespike, since I dislike Necrolords zone

#

Plus the tmog is way better

delicate bone
#

uh oh

meager arch
#

does sepsis activate master assassin?

crimson palm
#

no

#

but vanish does'

keen dome
#

Both for MA talent and MA leggo?

fleet ginkgo
#

Is Sub rogue still looking the strongest for Shadowlands ?

#

for Pvp?

delicate bone
#

the world is your playground

forest garden
#

Nobody knows

#

Safest bet is make sure you have a weapon set for outlaw and one for sub/sin

delicate bone
#

in terms of pvp, outlaw is very doubtful to be a serious contender imo

bleak spoke
#

I mean you just need 3 weapons to have a weapon set

#

Dagger is better in outlaw offhand anyway when weapons don’t have special effects

shrewd night
#

wrong channel lmao

drowsy pond
#

against 3+ enemies is it better to spam fan of knives as a combo generator?

delicate bone
#

live or sl?

drowsy pond
#

live

honest vessel
#

depends on how many eb you're running

#

i think with any eb you use FoK even on 2 target

#

assuming you got enough crit for it

#

without that stuff its 3 target to apply poisons if any of the 3 are missing them

#

but you dont spam FoK until later

#

i think 4

#

but that might be outdated

#

whysper will be along to correct me

#

🙂

drowsy pond
#

eb?

sick scarab
#

echoing blades

balmy condor
#

I heard my name

#

Fok on 2 with eb, 3 without, 4 with vendetta

#

With 2 Eb you can start overcapping

vast forum
#

with DD you fok on like 6+ 😄

#

with 3xDD you fok on 8 i think

balmy condor
#

DD is add 1 more

#

Multiple DD is add 1 more

#

So vendetta with 3 dd is 6 I wanna say

#

2 dd is also 6

#

Id have to check though

#

Dd logic is kinda

drifting cloud
#

whats dd? sounds like a long forgotten memory

grizzled jay
#

what should have been in place of Alacrity

balmy condor
#

Feels like it should be baseline tbh

#

Mutilate/envenom pooling isn’t really a baseline mechanic outside of shiv

grizzled jay
#

even in TB/Shiv it isn't a real mechanic

balmy condor
#

ye

grizzled jay
#

but at least DD as a talent would allow Sin to specialize in Crit (DD) or Haste (Exsang) which is nice.

amber quail
#

dunno why them did'n mint to port this in talents for SL...

#

by talents and legos sin might be good by the start...i hope them change/fix patch-by-patch as usual

#

sub will be the start

#

not enough stats in early for sin to be competitive right now

pseudo hamlet
#

Did they officially announce pre-patch date?

balmy condor
#

no

amber quail
#

about 2weeks later? this wen

#

FB channel

#

some friends told me and minding this fit the neck fullfill

delicate bone
#

nothing has been put out

amber quail
#

dunno cause i'm freezed for beta by august

delicate bone
#

hm?

dull crypt
#

we putting our bets on very last minute announced sept 29th or very late october 5th

#

3 week prepatch seems short

delicate bone
#

theres only legit 2 weeks worth of questline so i dont see a long prepatch

#

since itll likely be chaos

fleet whale
#

i wouldn't mind if blizz delayed SL

#

so it can be more polished

delicate bone
#

lmfao

#

theres 0 chance of that happening though

loud light
#

the bulk of prepatch benefit for blizzard is finding deployment issues or bugs in the class changes so they can be fixed before SL goes live

#

shrinking that window is spooky

#

god help them

fleet whale
#

legion pre-patch was like 6 weeks

#

and the cata one was quite long too

delicate bone
#

those released in august

#

legion did

#

and cata released in december

#

so either it would get knocked back wayyy to december

#

or stay as is

#

mainly due to holidays and the raid opening

tender garden
#

You mean mainly do to Cyberpunk release 😆

placid dawn
#

SS shoiuld have been a talent

#

instead we have bootleg MA

fleet whale
#

problem is SS kind of needed subter to work well

#

if SS and subter are on the same row, dead talent

delicate bone
#

i dont think many people care about th cyberpunk release lol

placid dawn
#

SS is also good just for the extra CPs

jolly comet
#

take away venom rush and give SS

fair otter
#

I am for that

honest vessel
#

a talent tier with SS and DD in it would be sick

vast forum
#

ss maybe

#

but dd is boring af

balmy condor
#

but is it more boring than alacrity

vast forum
#

yes

#

100%

balmy condor
#

ye you right

vast forum
#

if anything

#

alac in dungeons

#

you can use slice and dice between pulls if you're shrouding or smt so you don't drop stacks

#

there's 0 gameplay implication on DD

grizzled jay
#

m+ players Weirdchamp

#

DD impacts your gearing choice, which is more than Alacrity can ever do

vast forum
#

ppl who think dd is a well-designed trait FeelsWeird

grizzled jay
#

Alacrity also just makes Exsang a dead talent

#

Even at high haste, Alac is better than Exsang
