most azerite traits
wit?
are bandaids
it just solved all the issues outlaw had in m+ with one trait
yeah, where does sin get those bandaids, i'll take 2
and then you can pla the game for 1-2 years and pretend that your class isnt misaligned and badly designed at its core until teh next expac comes around and you are confronted with the same lack of vision on how youre supposed to translate from a st spec to an aoe spec
so they just made bf essentially 100% uptime. nice.
great "fix"
lazy
yep
and before legendaries got nerfed, assa was in the same spot
we were back to spamming fok with dashing
for dps
atleast that had a higher maintenance than in bfa since you needed to maintain envenom on aoe
wonder why they never explored making ct baseline, or what the findings were if so
i mean it was back in mop/wod 🙂
ive complained about this a lot already, but not having aoe builders+finishers baseline is just dumb as fuck
and unbelievable that its still like this 3 expansions in
imagine if they made divine storm a talent instead of being baseline
yeah, and toss in a more meaningful talent there to spice something up? instead of just beating us up in the tunings because our sub brothers were melting everything. One streamer compared it to the younger siblings getting the beating because the older brother was misbehaving. I think its deeper though, they just can't figure out how to fix it
or if warlocks had to talent rain of fire
or eleshaman needing to talent earthquake, boomy starfall etc.
its just asinine that the spec that has its core mechanic be a combopoint>finisher mechanic, is the one with the least options in that regard. but its always been like this
member when we still had target-specific combopoints in mop, but paladins got holypower in wrath
took them 3 expansions to give us combo points on the rogue, not the target, when other classes had it for years
lmao, the neglect feels were real
and its the same now
still are just different places
just frustrating that youre a builder>finisher class and you dont have an aoe builder as outlaw, or aoe finisher that you dont have to talent as, well, sub outlaw and assa. atleast sub has one now, and lo and behold the spec feels interesting to play in aoe again
what a surprise
amazing how that works right?
meanwhile every other class in the game has aoe builders and aoe finishers
or rather, low and high dmg aoe abilities
but pb!
anyway, enough ranting
(slightly sarcasm laced)
lets just hope theres some ranged dps nerfs
so melee can atleast be considered viable
cause in the current state, theres no reason to bring melee for anything but interrupts or utility
certainly not on aoe, and not even on st
¯_(ツ)_/¯
necro
just curious
for starters
might switch to fae at 34 for first strike if it hasnt been nerfed by then
any specific reason for going necro?
lead by example
I feel like necro's a strong pick only because they're all so close and in my eyes the easiest to maintain
least the ability
my opinion ofc
its the most interactive covenant, it has group benefit, and its undersimming quite hard imo
spike is a fun button to press
and will stay strong as it scales with prim stat and better gear
I kinda find it hard to balance for me personally. I'm doing pvp at around 2.6k usually, I do PvP and raid semi-progress. this time it seems really fucked up to pick something for all of it. not a fan of having a second rogue
the 350haste from grove invo will always stay 350 haste. good now, not as good later on probably
meanwhile 13% agi will always be good
People are writing off everything but Kyrian but I think necro has a pretty high skill cap potential with the CC immune ability. And the defensives are gonna be big. But it seems everyone is fiending for anything bursty rn and calling it the best
and SBS cooldown lines up very well with shiv/symbols cooldown
Would love if they'd entertain adding serrated bonespike to the doomblade bleed buff
but god forbid they do some math
you dont want that
math?
no
you dont want legendary powers being balanced around having a specific covenant
ahh solid example
its much better to remove those synergies to be able to balance properly. its also more boring
but that way it can atleast be an alternative for all the covenants that arent the one that scales with it
if sbs worked with doomblade, youd have to balance it around that, and any non-necro would never look towards doomblade
would just add to the balancing nightmare
so i just discovered this interesting feature of assassination:
mutilate currently deals less damage
@marble hemlock based on current sims and stuff, wouldnt it make more sense for you to go kyrian and swap to nf later?
no
combo pts
first of all, i dont like kyrian. echoing reprimand is an awful covenant ability
second, i dont think kyrian is as good as everybody thinks
could only imagine ER once sub players are geared.
mut generating more cps does not justify its pathetic damage
third, i like the interactivity of SBS+lead by example with the current rogue specs
setting up a spike for 13% before every shiv or dance
just makes for much more fun and min-maxing gameplay
i don't think there is really a huge amount of min maxing with any covenant
the sim currently just uses SBS on cd pmuch, which is why i believe it to be undersimming
they all seem really close
and thats not counting the 2% prim stat for 4 people in your grp/raid
emeni sim also only uses 2 allies (the one that fuu did, anyway)
so its only 9% agi, not 13%
does haste effect sbs tick times?
oh, he added 4ally sim now
and lo and behold
its the strongest t1 soulbind
without even counting proper lineup or the ally benefit
where are you seeing this?
oh damn
and that is without lining up sbs before CDs like shiv/symbols+dance
just random use. sometimes it lines up, sometimes it doesnt. and thats not counting the benefit to the grp/raid
yo im digging that whole necro thing now
sbs also becomes better on cleave
looks like its doing wonders for sub
and if you have adds and get resets in so you dont just have SBS every 30sec, but a bit more often
then it justb ecomes even better
cant remember where I heard it, but somewhere I've heard that burrs conduit only applies the damage if the target is slowable, is that true?
not sure if someone tested
yeah but burr just gonna be avaible in weeks
burrs is hilariously broken atm
since its a second potency and one of the highest dps soulbinds
SBS honestly isn't my cup of tea
in fact when playing beta, it was my least favorite of the abilities
i dont particularly like sbs
but i love lead by example
it gives so much room to play around
I might end up playing kyrian because its pretty good everywhere and its the only covenant ability I can see being useful in pvp aswell
since everything else is prolly cleanseable
they need to make sepsis undispellable for sure
seems so dumb that you can just remove a covenant ability
Thanks for the insight m8, was a pleasure
i think with sepsis its going to turn into baiting the cleanse, forcing the healers to work in overtime and have to sometimes decide between heals/defensives/cleanse
also I think it could open up a new meta, just nuking the healer first with it, keeping them locked up and blowing all your cds on them
seems like even good healers have trouble keeping up with it already with normal bleeds
also if you smoke and lock them up, the healer is going to have to decide between a life saving heal or cleanse on your target
As someone who played Classic over BFA and preferred Sin over Sub in Legion, how sad am I if I want to be reasonably competitive?
Pretty sad
If you don’t like outlaw or sub in current iteration
It’s not a good time
so sad that i've just switched colors
Traitor
i think the coolest thing for sin rn with the squish is our dots really actually add up when everyone only has like 18-20k ish healthpools
seems like enchants hit different now too, suddenly that 8 haste is hype
so now a full rupture is like 1/4 of their life instead of like 1/15th
i think 5k ish dmg is baseline too, that's before your haste/mastery bonuses
ah i didn't know this was pve only, just reads spec discussion
Assassination Rogue discussion, Shadowlands information is in the pins. !guide, !help, !sims, !fuu
so is this pve only then?
Usually yeah
that's dumb haha
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Won’t get a lot of pvp nerds in here
like how most discords functions
I’m just saying that you’ll find pvp discussions more fruitful in pvp
makes sense
Because usually this isn’t a pvp channel
There’s the odd convo bout it here or there
But pvp usually stays in pvp
i like having a litle assassin hangout to discuss pvp stuff
away from those subs
(:
heckin subs
You're the only one and it's only in this channel that cares whispyr lol
Bruh I’m just trying to help the guy find a discussion on what he was talking about
jk just seems more organized keeping it in here that's all
I don’t move masses from one channel to the other
well keeping some of it in here
and using pvp to kind of talk shop with other specs about it
I’m literally just pointing out that it’ll be more successful over there
ya haha i know
i just drank some fucking gfuel to finish my work faster i'm wired haha sorry
and that 2 days till shadowlands hypetrain is in full effect choo choo
woo!
i am in need of some helping finding out what the best legendaries will be as of now for assassination rogue? can anyone put me in the right direction?
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
i mean, like everyone else (almost everyone else anyway) I too will be swapping to sub this xpac, but the sub channel is basically cancer with aids on a daily basis.
so I will hide in here with my fellow soon to be artists formerly known as assassination rogues
:) welcome to the swamp
I'ma just play sin anyways cuz it's fun
I’m gonna flex sin and sub I think
It will be more fun to fight the meters as sin
And show everyone u can still top it
And if you don’t, join a worse guild until you do 
well there is another benefit to playing sin
less people overall, easier to get orange parses
here is another benefit, the channel is not cancer
Channel wasn’t cancer during 8.3 either
Real comfy
Slow, consistent, comfy, unchanging
And that’s why we call it the swamp

can we call you shrek then 
If it makes you happy 
Whispyr is love; Whispyr is life.

last minute changes i have faith haha
they will likely do some spec tuning around mythic release
who knows if it will be enough though
Varo swapped to Sub 
i'm both
it prio's sub though
Ye little bit
i dont care if sub is the best spec period im not going near that channel lmao
i just asked what the st talents would be for havoc at level 60
they are the same thing
and the legit answer i got was "sim yourself"
No other Discord TCS other than maybe Mage and Balance Druid is as aggressive with simming as Rogue TCs are
Hunter TCs didnt even do beta sims lmao
so no wonder their entire class feels clunky and broken
havoc not doing too hot as well right?
i think Koji helps with havoc sims
not nearly as bad as they make it out to be, no
they are like middle of the pack, and decent in M+
Koji helps with havoc yeah
havoc being bottom tier is just a false narrative bad take
that somehow has become "truth"
yeah, but it ain't bottom tier
wonder what spec that spot truly belongs to
thats how they classify themselves
@jagged axle Right now, BM Hunters
prolly assasin sadly
BM hunters bad? thats new wtf
weren't they slapping in Legion?
not rly. MM was pretty good tho
they will be bottom until they increase range to 60ft...
thats how survival is doing
Survival will be as it always is. On the cusp but never excelling at any one thing.

@drifting cloud when are you going pink 
Fair fair
btw on the topic of Havoc, I hate you all
This Slice and Dice rabbit hole Seli and Whispyr sent me down.. it's only actually worth 0.2% DPS. Stupid pointless openers. 😛
Will go back to my ol' standby
Turns out you can really just mash buttons randomly as Assassination 10% of the time and it really doesn't matter 😛
(Also Havoc is not bottom tier, people are just whiners.)
ITS STILL 0.2
I was right seli was wrong 
That’s 0.2% closer to sub man don’t take this from me I need it
What were you right about?
is sin really that far behind on the sims? that sheet is awful telling
id imagine we have to get a buff before mythic week lol
@balmy condor wrt "before" vs. "after" I'll note that "before" seems to actually only be notably better when using Echoing Reprimand and I think that might just be RNG 😛

But it's really close anyway
like 1/3rd less dps
oh cool, I'm glad Venthyr isn't bad. For some reason I thought it was
Hey beautiful people, sin loyalist here, but new to the Discord. I've been lurking around, and i think I've found out everything I need to know going into Shadowlands, but I just want to clarify the soulbinds situation. We going whatever until 30+, and making the switch to Necro, or am I reading the pins wrong?
who knows what changes they are going to make the first couple weeks though
ya
i like that the flavorful covenants are doing well
kryian just seems so boring
@rare blaze kyrian is better early from what it seems atm
Ahh, right on. What about at 30+, we making the switch elsewhere?
so you can switch covenents now?
you always could
oh sweeet
its a 2 week quest chain
You can swtich to a new covenant whenever
at 30+ you're going to night fae
It's going back to one you've abandoned that takes a reset
Bet. Thanks. I guess I was reading that image wrong..
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
That soulbinds image. I think I'm reading it wrong.
Yeah, isn't that purple arrow pointing at a Necrolord after 30?
that's the better soulbind for necrolord players at 30
so if you're going necrolord specifically, heirmir will be better at 30
left to right is soulbinds in each covenant, top to bottom is kyrian, night fae, necro, venthyr
:)
no problem
So we're going Kyrian early on and Night Fae later on. This is pending any changes.
yes
but they're all so close
that it really doesn't matter
if you want to do venthyr because you like the aesthetic
more power to you
go do that
I don't believe so, you keep the renown of that covenant if you swap back
but each covenant has its own renown
I've read that they're all super close. I might have to do some more homework, and see if anything appeals to me.
If I'm going to settle for mediocrity, might as well get jiggy w/ it.
yeah if you're playing sin, you're already fucked 
might as well play what you enjoy
So what would be the all round rogue if you say started sin find out its realy sub par and then whent sub and cried in the corner trying to learn it and then wiped away the tears as you show ppl pritty numbers?
As a tank I wouldn't turn my nose up at assassination
faster application of numbing poison is a niche
So, if I'm reading this correctly, Sepsis should scale w/ Shiv?
yes
Neat.
I do kinda wish rogue had a legendary like Cat's Eye Curio to speed up assassination
is sin really "being laughed at" ? looking at the sims fuu posted we are just majorly behind in dungeon slice, and a couple hundred dps behind sub in patchwerk
@balmy condor I'm gonna give you a moral victory by putting it before, if only because I don't have enough time to figure out if there's anything better for ER and it's about the same for the others.. but probably the real answer is that it largely doesn't matter. And I think I'll find something marginally better for ER someday.
"a couple hundred"
is like
15%
@fleet anchor its hard to find gains for sin when none of the buttons I hit matter man cut me some slack 
18.8% on the early chart
i mean unless you are pushing Mythic raiding content is that really going to matter?
kinda, yeah
sin atm is behind sub and outlaw as much as sub was behind basically all of bfa
sub got laughed at
a considerable amount
i think sub was closer in bfa...
but yeah, when you get to 10%+ dif, its not great
F
at least the sub guys still had like "look at my evisc crit" or "watch me funnel 6cp foks into this boss"
but we legit just have nothing atm
The only situation it competes (with sub, not outlaw because outlaw blows it out of the water here) is 2 target cleave
And even then it's not winning by a lot
Someday Blizzard will do something with bleed build like makes exantanguish works in aoe and make it right
someday i hope
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
blizz just axes the whole bleed thing
I don’t know how to spell it in English sorry x)
and center sin around poisons again
yeah... before legion wasnt sub the bleed spec?
Ah yeah it is just leggo comparison
Kk
oh baby
necro sin 4217
venthyr sub 4191
WE GOT EM BOYS
VIABLE
on sustain 2 target
Huge gains
and nothing else
PauseChamp
Sadly there are a lot of youtube vids with titles such as "melee specs ranked in SL"
BUT WE TAKE THOSE
and most of them rank Sin either in the middle or sometimes even high
k
yes
gm to the hoel assassin community
Ah ok
remember when we were gonna have a "TB" like talent in SL?
hole
is there any sustained 2 target fight in castle nathria?
Ye prolly closer to 4400 with all that
even if there was
No, afaik
how is outlaw's patchwerk dmg
Better lol
quite decent
uh oh
higher than sin
i think default outlaw sim also doesnt reroll, so can be higher than in fuu's sheet
sin is like massively undertuned
by a good margin
tanks may even sim higher than it
Sadge
It's roughly between us and sub
unless thats been fixed in the apls
In ST
2 target cleave is also good for assassins....we can use EP and subterfuge with the doomblade legendary we can EASILY sustain dps on 2 even 3 targets bleeds
except as of now
it isn't really
3 target sub overtakes us again
Lmfao
yeah, should be actions+=""/variable,name=rtb_reroll,value=buff.buried_treasure.up&rtb_buffs<2|buff.grand_melee.up&rtb_buffs<2"
Yeah that's what I figured
unless you have sleight
well im not talking about dmg done im talking about viable playstyle
which shoudl reroll any rtb_buffs<2
maybe blizz will do a soft revamp like what shadow got in 8.1
that helped pump shadow up a bit
spriests and warlocks seem busted for this first raid tier
I think more likely we'll get an updated talent or two
i mean i would even take that
And another aura buff
I think they're kinda done with reworks during xpacs
but... shadowlands is literally here
a man can dream
aura buffs are the biggest kinds of bandaids
Yeah
shadowlands may be here
but blizz did give ele and shadow soft revamps in 8.1
so they do sometimes change specs during expansions
half assed ones, you mean
also don't forget legion sub
@jovial haven yeah idk, that line simmed equal to me, but I have no idea what I'm looking at cause outlaw 
I'll let the outlaw nerds handle that one
that got changed a bit in the middle of the expansion too
its fine
do we have sims for best potency options?
it simmed higher than sin which is what was being looked at
for those soulbinds that have 1 potency and not 2
sin plays mostly fine, it just doesnt do damage when you hit buttons
yes
In st it's fine
is that the shiv one?
yes
yes
In aoe I don't think it's fine
increased nature damage from shiv
hm
shiv at lvl 58 will become the old toxic blade
-10%
that got replaced by 10% haste alac
Sin feels slow to me compared to the flow of say, Sub right now
old tb is 30%, shiv is 20%, then wps gets you back 10% at rank 1, 24% at rank 15
so eventually shiv will do 44%
do you guys think we'll eventually wear more than 1 legendary like we did in legion
then take the legendary. 😄
tiny toxic blades is shit
Yes, they've heavily implied in interviews that we'll have more than one legendary eventually
Possible, but not likely for a while. I think they would've talked about it more.
If it was soon
yeah
true
probably like 3rd raid or something
nah, we don't know anything about 9.1 yet besides flying
in a year
even tho we could ear 2 leges the best for ST will be doombalde and zoldyck
the one we kill sylvanas? 

both mid-fight till 30% and execute >30%
I think scoundrel would probably look good at that point
we would prolly combine zoldyck and dashing scoundrel
over doomblade
more poisons crits
the bleed isn't the main part about doomblade
the envenom part is the main thing on it
don't think it would win
that might just fuck up our vendetta syncing though
but its possible
I can force some haste and see if I can get it down
it's not like scoundrel drastically increases how many abilities we'll cast
i think sin has just been fast lately and now its back to normal
you have to be able to see a few secs into the future for sub
reflex wise
I forget what kind of gear you forced to get it to -48s
since we scale haste and since haste buffs both tick rate and energy regen mean we can sustain 15% extra dmg on envenom...also rank 2 snd gives 10% energy regen same as vigour 10% so with haste main stat and 20% energy regen i believe is kinda too much for dashing...so i would prefer dmg
dw bout it
🙂
I'll crank the haste to like 900%
ya i'm starting to kinda get a grasp for it, still need more time on sin to build a better foundation
and go from there
Lmao
i think the burst combo is like 17 keys rn for sub
then you sometimes wanna situationally switch stuff up
also dont forget that crit=versa=mastery as secondary stat
so mutilate bleed scales with mastery and versa and crit
envenom 15% dmg scales with versa and crit
😄
ahh i wish i knew how to sim, i wanna see what an assassin crit build is like
so imo its a win-win over scroundel with all that haste main stat and 20% enrgy regen and passive ( and 7energy per rapute garrote tick)
wdym "is like"
if its viable again with the talent tree changes
master assassin is our go-to talent in single target
ik was just curious about other builds too
and if anyone tested out the crit stuff yet
what crit stuff
is kyrian our best single target covenant still? even after pelagos nerfs?
early, yes
hm
something like this
venom rush is shit compared to alacrity
isn't venom rush garbage
but the rest of the tree is just our single target talents
haha
no getting round that
i love haste now that it scales with bleed
curious tho that sort of build use to be really badass with rogue
and without haste, mastery kinda gets worse
not by a lot
but its already at the bottom of the totem pole
i have a feeling at some point this build will be viable again
why else would the put the talents in
with slice and dice
oof that would be sweet
I don't think that's how that works
is it viable on dps check bosses to use exsa instead of alac?
haha
no
tru but I don't see how game design would work if they built it around 1 build
exsang is about 6.5% down
yes
the idea is to actually get a few builds but it always shakes down to one it seems like
vanish to 80% garrote isnt better than vanish to 50% crit fro 5 sec?
this is from the bis list I made earlier today
3 sec
you can compare talents there if you want
I'd assume w/o Shrouded Suffocation, SBTF doesn't shine on ST anymore.
50% crit for 3 seconds is kinda giga
especially when you get it into a shiv window
and you have wps
and you'd be correct
subt wins on 2+, handedly
but on single target without garrote getting buffed somewhere else
not really happening
they're still very close
0.5%
but ma does edge it out
@low girder even with 126% haste from gear and a blistering 62apm, we're looking at 69 nice seconds on vendetta
without blindside
, it goes to 65 seconds
so uh
close enough I guess
just hit 62apm
Decided to main assa rogue for sl my dudes :^)
I know it’s not in a fantastic spot but I have the most fun on it so yolo
adding 900 haste and going to ~50apm without blindside takes us to 72seconds
it syncs with every other vanish as intended
but 2% behind zoldyck
Do we have a command or page on here for current best subject to change covenant and legendaries for assa?
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
has a lot of the gritty numbers
Thanks 🙂
yeah
does 1st strike on boss fight garrote getting buffed by ma?
Vendetta shit cooldown confirmed 
so opener will be garrote>shiv>soulbind? all that 3 in MA?
I assume I can force nightfae and shiv to line up every 2nd time with a 90 second vendetta, but like, can't be asked
Ye
opener with ma would be mut snd mut rup most likely @primal zinc
No reason to do immediately without subterfuge
yeah but you don't need it in the first 5 seconds
first 3 seconds you got full energy, just get the most out of ma
then you can put up the garrote
mut snd mut rup gar
ez
Yeah making sure you get the most out of the big CP gen from muts is important
i mean time together
shiv into vanish envenom mut envenom
wdym
i still ran the legion the opener when i ran MA in BFA lol
its not really important info
so raidbots doesn't show it
gotta open the full report and dig it out if you're interested
i did gar mut rupture mut vend tb vanish envenom mut envenom
@fleet whale that's before snd right
you wouldn't open with gar mut rup in ma nowadays like that
seems kinda troll
well its ok
gar mut rup mut snd vend shiv vanish env mut env
mut in between
snd
i mean after snd
mut snd mut rup gar cov/vendetta shiv vanish env mut env
gar mut rup with ma
is not gud
So we're expecting blanket adjustments across multiple specs launch day right?
!stats
Pre patch: Versatility > Critical Strike > Mastery > Haste
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
hm?
wiht no ds
I don't understand the question
my english 🙂 mm let me put it down in a decent way 🙂
kirian abiity can give us 7 point combo finisher
wiht DS it is always 7 or go up to 8 ?
7
not necessarily
ds still gives 5% increased finisher damage, and that affects the kyrian 7cp finisher
well wiht vigor we gain more energy and more power from abiity covenant
5 cp go to 7
instead 6 to 7
but less energy
i am mad ?
okay but that doesn't change how much damage you're getting from it
y y
its 7 cp finishers either way, and with DS its doing 5% more
you're getting less finishers, because less energy
but more damage of
but that doesn't change the power of the kyrian ability
ofc
I think DS actually synergizes more kyrian than vigor, because not only does it increase finisher damage, kyrian ability lets you finish on like 3cp
which means you don't have to build as many cp
obviously its not "oh my god insane DS is crazy!"
but at least to me it makes the whole 'fantasy' or whatever fit better than vigor would
i get the point
@primal zinc no idea
and it is correct
you can see the gear haste, so its just that + all the other haste stuff
alsmo more easy to hit the correctp 7 combo finisher
which will change throughout the fight
so it's a bit difficult to give a straight answer on that
and elaborate planning is waay behind blindside ?
wahts the best endurance and utility for raiding in venthyr atm im kinda ok with recuperator ssstep and prepared for all
talking about raidwise and raidhelp both for me and grp
recup and whatever
imo recuperator isnt really worth for raiding id rather go nimble fingers
recup the only one that's really "important"
Recup is pretty spicy in my opinion, there is a lot of dots in the raid
sstep?
take the dot out of the stacked grp and then come back to boss from WAY dowtown
i mean quick descisions
yea quick decisions is the only useful one kinda
doesn't really matter all that much imo
tnx Whispyr for the sim , it is interesting mm
you're not shadow stepping THAT much
well lets just assume that i have to take a debuff out of the stacked grp to the edges...its still better to gain some extra yards to get faster to boss
i just cant see 28% over 36 seconds ever saving your life
whats that?
recup
If you're going venthyr Nadjia, you'll end up with 2 finesse and one endurance, and Recup is the only really decent endurance one
more than "this tick is gonna save me"
its still even 0,1% better that anything else
im talking about min-max in raid
imo recup is the ebst
as about utility i would go sstep and prepare
reduced energy cost on feint and vial is defensive and dps gain
prepare for all i mean interupts reduce cd of cloak
cloak is better defence and also at cloak you do 100% dmg
😄
whispyr what if we wanna use both wps and letal poison?
what is the best pick?
uh, if you specifically want both wps and lethal poison, that rules out all of venthyr, heirmir from necro, niya from night fae, and kleia from kyrian
so.... probably best bet is pelagos
some of those choices will probably still be better by just choosing the suboptimal route no ?
why in wowhead guide best covenant is night fae for all?
most well rounded across everything
okay, why in the pins Kyrian is best for all? 😮
cause early on, kyrian is better
last two weeks here is like 90% "what cov is better" jeez
Almost like people will have to pick their covenants soon
just take what you like, skill in playing class is far more important than ~4% power difference
@sterile jackal Oh just wait for Monday my dude
It's gonna be incessant
I hope @vestal wren has something in place to make people read the Shadowlands guide before they can post a single sentence 
on monday i will be busy grinding the shit out of my rogue
why not divide into pre-raid and raid? or write like: all covenants is close, just stfu and take what u like
in the pins and guides
cause fuu does this for free lol
it's his choice
because saying stfu and take what you like
If you write the second people ask anyway
isn't accurate to the numbers
and then people go
OKAY BUT WHATS BETTER
he's fucked if he does
fucked if he doesn't
if he shows the numbers, people get butthurt cause they're so close and some are better in certain situations than others and depending on renown etc etc
whats the question?
if he doesn't show the numbers and just says "good enough", no one would be happy with it
the question originally was "why does wowhead say night fae but the pins say kyrian"
im just askng
He's explaining
and it morphed into "if they're so close, why give a tier list"
Don't take it personally
btw did some1 simmed zoldyck on sub/outlaw?
Sooo what is best covenant?

Kyrian ofc :p
But i want to be a fairy
i dont want to be schmetterling rogue
well, NF have flower gardens, where you can make gold, its pretty good tbh

ardenweald marijuana is pricy
Nah i want to be poor like every expansion
the diffrence between WoWhead probably comes from 30+ renown sims
also ovenants are quite close
Where is that general guide for Shadowlands?
The one for leveling and stuff to do the first week?
what do you think ios the best covenant for multispeccing? is it still venthyr or nightfae?
Pins say top covenant is Kyrian for every spec right now. This should answer it, I guess. 
wowhead says that nightfae is best for all speccs, updated 21.11. 11pm... thats why i'm confused :>
after pelegos got nerfed
When in doubt, trust the mighty fine theorycrafters of class discords, they make sure to be on point with classes/specs, no halfed ass things here. Wowhead might be a good site for wow in general but class discords will have the top people working on delivering you the best results.
Confused sheep, lovely
That's true, very true. But what goes on in this discord is not that. In my own flawed opinion
People just come for easy already digested answers, and they want it on a platter.
Are you a theorycrafter or have contributed/worked with the theorycrafters of this discord to provide detailed/correct information for the public? If not then you as everyone else that is not, we search for answers here, ask around, look at pins and take it from there.
People can and will do as they please
is CT aoe capped?
yes, 8 targets
you can see all target caps here : https://www.wowhead.com/guides/shadowlands-target-capped-abilities-uncapped-capped-spells#rogues-assassination
how does assa look right now compared to other classes and speccs? for pve or pvp
you can make cross class comparisons
but only if you know what you do
and this just means jumping through a lot of hoops to create relevant data
btw do we have sims/anything on potions and enchants for Patchwerk ?
hello all!!! so night fae best covenant? kyrian is vial also?

Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
The best for (the lazy) me is: less buttons, less punishing rotation, more accuracy on rotation, more fun without a huge DPS loss. I will go Venthyr!
they got a sick transmog
Wait, every class except Rogue has a Covenant AOE ability?
Also, sorry thats a question for general

necrolord is probably the closest to aoe
so is no one going sin for raids?
and Kyrian empowered Black Powder
outlaw and sub are pretty much better than sin at everything atm
could be there's a balancing pass before hc opens tho
if there is balancing it will be when mythic opens, when bliz sees whatneeds buffs and nerfs in hc week
Anyone who actually has a sin rogue atm 😛 Armory link for proof
Imma stay sin for the first 2 - 3 weeks of release... if nothing changes ill have to .....go ... to..... s
I cant type it
i feel the very very same
Does anyone know of a weapon swap macro to the legendary daggers with the wings? Like swap to them and use them as gliders or something?
@balmy condor knock knock, you at home?
hey so now all specs have to go night fae? I didnt like them...
the difference
is litearlly less then 20dps
not 20%, 20
people need too learn how you read spreadsheats lol
aka pick what you want
sorry I just see the wowhead article
dont use wowhead for serious stuff
trust me
good for informations about news, thats it
they just pump out any and all informations too have stuff,doesnt amtter if it is good or bad information
perfect then, so we are the more balanced class for covenants seems xd, every covenant is very similar each other in all spec...
yeh sin just didnt get any changes, and people equated that to bad class
Yeah wowhead has always been good for like database things, walkthroughs and comments, not so much for guides imo
Hi
I'm new around here I'm going to play rogue this expansion that you recommend to me for pve raid an m + I've always played murder but how do they say it's wrong that you recommend me? thank you very much greetings
anybody know stats for m+, crit+vers/mast?
Pins
- sim what you get
i know, but prio haste in m+ seems kinda odd
Why
other posts are out of date so, mostly checking first 3
All the Sin rogues are just in stealth
It’s true
Waiting for the tank to pull 3 targets for subterfuge
Ok fine I will bite. What's the best covenant for assassination guys?????????
I mained sin for two expansion tho
so it will be nice to take a break since the spec hasn't changed much
A former DH who wants to play assassination. Help me
Whispyr hitting them straight faxe machines

Lol
🗞️ @fading wigeon
Haha
I still think people would just like sin more if kingsbane was talent
or even baseline
Or if we did damage
@balmy condor People would still call the spec boring and ignore it if it wasn't waayyy ahead
All my homies gone
If all specs were in line I would pick sin

But no reason to gimp myself and then be benched to prove a point lol
