and if there's a unified spell for the Cov. Abilities like there was for the neck ability it's a simple ID swap.
and anyone can make a SnD WA, four click ezpz.
but not everyone can make it like you miz
I mean that's sad my SnD WA would just be the template with the number colored @ a certain duration > _>
but the special ingredient of love
No idea what covenant to pick lol
yea same
kyrian here :D
yolo
I just dont wanna get fucked
they're all fine
yup, thats fine

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

has the venthyr ability been fixed?
thanks
np
Has anyone else noticed that subterfuge is broken for anything other than garrote (eg. can only ambush once), or is it just me?
do you lads drop an ambush on the free stealth attack from sepsis?
or what do you recommend
is weird... i can garrote multiple times no problem, but i hit ambush once out of stealth and then it goes grey and "requires stealth" 
cheers
not free though btw
keep that in mind
still costs energy afaik
they're all very close
oh one more thing, at how many targets do i just stop refreshing slice and dice and focus on rupturing/garroting everything
yeah but with 170 energy i should be able to hit it 3 times back to back and I can't hit the button after the first from stealth
you can pick whatever you want
6, but the difference from sustaining at 5 vs just always sustaining isn't really noticable
so if its easier for you, you can just always sustain
thank you very much!
my pleasure
did you end up going Kyrian Whis?
yes
woops need to annoy you again, my current opener is garrote > ambush > garrote > rupture > mutilate > snd > cooldowns > sepsis
sure
is that about right?
figured out what it was... I had a /cancelform [form:2] in my macro in case i'm in soulshape... apparently that somehow is sufficient to cancel the special stealth state from subterfuge lol
i always assumed for the pandemic, would i just garrote > ambush > ambush > rupture perhaps?
the double garrote for pandemic was connected to shrouded suff
but yeah, garrote ambush ambush if you're going subt
we technically take MA on pure single target, but that row is very competitive
yeah its mainly dungeoning/world content i was wondering about. thank you again
np
still not sure what im doing covenant wise
Thanks for the sanity check Whispyr... lesson learned: apprently subterfuge is considered a form and not just stealth so it counts as form2 just like soulshape so /cancelform [form:2] in a macro that uses stealth stuff is bad juju
if I had a nickel for every person who's said that in the last 2 days
yup
imo stance macros are pretty unnecessary
just cause me headaches mostly
it gets better
i meant where the story ties into sylvanas π
oh right, you're one of those simps
I keep forgetting even though I stare at her face constantly
thoughts how? I think its fun
/cast [stealth,nocombat] Pick Pocket
/cast [bonusbar:1][nobonusbar:1,mod] Ambush; Mutilate```
Is pretty useful for me personally... pick pocket and ambush if stealth or subterfuge or sepsis buff, else mutilate... can basically just spam it and it'll swap to ambush in every case except a blindside proc (hence the `mod`)
a loyal simp 
cannot deny that
idk the WC3 story and books just get me every time
been playing this universe since before you were born lol
probably true

Hey there guys.
Quick question: Venthyr is currently the best covenant for all around the rogue, right?
Or is it pure preference at this point?
they're all close
pretty much pure preference
venthyr is probably 3rd
kyrian and night fae are the two at the top, then venthyr/necro towards the bottom
but even that is like
2-3%
Oh ok, perfect. Thank you!
Is there any guide / video explaining stuff a bit?
Just to make the right decision from the beginning
so pick whatever you want
Ok perfect
Fair enough
Thank you!

the nightfae stealth spell you gain from sepsis, can't empower garrote right ?
correct
is it just about the dot cuz it scales well with assa mastery or some shit ?
the dot is the main part, yes
but it's not good in the other specs
yes it is
you don't really care about a bonus shadowstrike or embush in others specs do you ?
well like I said, the dot is the main part
the free ability is basically whatever
can see some niche in pvp with a cheap shot or something
but for pve, doesn't really do anything
drawback also : my stealth bind cheap shot is my mutilate unstealth xD so when it procs i can't mutilate anymore π
yeah but you need to be 10-15 sec ahead of that cheap shot
Can double dps assass get far in 2s
its still a cheap shot you wouldn't be able to use otherwise
I playbwith a surv hunter
should probably ask the #pvp guys that
I would assume not
considering how bad sin is atm
yeah kyrian vial fucking up totalyl assa spec
what?
oh
20% hp and this effect ... wth
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
i bet you can re-enter stealth from the end of sepsis kinda like with nelf shadowmeld
just once your invis hit the stealth button and its like a vanish

that's just actually not how sepsis works though
does it make you invis?
no
leave combat?
it specifically says "allows the use of a stealth ability"
it doesn't drop combat, it doesn't stealth, it doesn't give the combat benefits of stealth, doesn't give you stealth legendaries, stealth talents
none of it
a one shot shadowdance
it doesn't even give the shadow dance bonuses to sub
ya
it is "the use of a stealth ability"
a cheapshot is a cheapshot tho
and thats it
kinda weird since it is a rogue skill but since NF is one of the most powerful they probs not gonna care
fairy is da wae
yep

which covenant for subt
Yer same

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
is sin looking good (raid/m+) or outclassed by sub/outlaw ?

Does sepsis activate subterfuge
Damn
So guys, im playing sin and i just got to bastion and got the covenant ability with the combo points, but i dont get how it should be used, can anyone explain
you use the ability, it empowers a combo point, if you finish on that combo point, it acts as if it were a 7cp finisher
just dump into envenom
and gg
np
I just tested it i did a 2.2k envenom
anyone know if essence of bloodfang works with crimson tempest?
oh wait i misread nvm
same question, but with fan of knives i guess lol
yes
nice
so like does it matter what sanctum reservoirs we pick? also what do i use anima for
doesn't really matter no
sanctum upgrades are all QoL
the mission table isn't that lucrative either
Whisp, meant to ask the other day. What's the best way to use lead by example as sin then as sub?
as in best times to toss it up energy efficieny wise
sims don't really optimize lbe that much, but I think its a pretty safe bet to save a charge before you shiv
hold a charge before sod for sure
worth to refresh during?
necrolord is better than night fae right ?
hey dudes wowhead is saying Nightfae is better and pins say Kirian. is one of these sources out dated
super close m8
yeah they're all super close
necro is slightly worse than night fae
kyrian is better early
night fae's reverse execute is mighty tempting
night fae's better with more renown
but they all have their niche
so its really up to you
what i need for change convenant
ok
I feel like wild hunt tactics is going to get nerfed
if something gets nerfed its burrs
seems op and too simple
wild hunt is balanced perfectly fine
grove invig, field of blossom, lbe, gemstone, combat meditation, dauntless
gm guys is night fae the covenant to go instead of kyrian atm for raid?
all within 0.5% of wild hunt
feels like 10 extra % for the first 25% seems like a lot, then again that's usually a lust/burn phase on a lot of bosses
they're all very close, pick your favorite
cheers mate
fuck i wanna pick venthyr for mog but wanna pick nightfae for the abilities
anyone know the ST opener now having SnD confsung me 
for subt/ma, and what cov
subt / nightfae
gar ambush(or mut) snd mut rup vend sepsis shiv
is shiv used like old TB
yes
so only 2 combo builders before snd? or you mean third ambush can be a mutilate? im kinda dumb
that's what I just figured out actually haha
2 points each from ambush
into rupture
then garrote
i just have my ambush where my mutilate was to proc off subterfuge
feels really cool haha
would MA be better with night fae then?
no big difference there
is there a good macro for ambush / mut
ya but if you just put it on the same spot in the bar
subturfuge will do it for you automaticall
but how do you do blindside
ambush won't show up, right
correct
i just have them in 2 diff keys so i don't go crazy
i like poison (:
just using ambush for subterfuge
ya
it does switch when you use subterfuge
good morning all
want me to screenshhot? haha
oh gotcha
damn that's actually a tough choice
i love poison
but ambush is really fun too
i like free combo points with blindside
oh shit
forget that ambush was a builder techincally
dammit
now i have to soul search
which covenant did you go said
i am farming rn still low level to get some of those early profits
o gotcha
ive been looking at this damn screen for like 30 min
can't figure out wihch one to pick
i know can't decide either, the best is kryian but i'm all about flavor
peeps know more about it than me, they say what 3% diff?
something like that
3% from top to bottom yeah
do you guys know if covenant mog is usable on other characters that didnt go that specific covenant?
im assuming yu cant
I don't believe so
I do have to say, despite there not being a lot of difference I think I put the most thought into covenant choice since aldor/scryer maybe
Blizz made it feel like a very important choice at least
I think part of the reason it feels important is because we've become so accustom to Blizz just nerfing/buffing things randomly, and with a now with this "semi" permanent choice it feels scary
Thats fair, but you can fail up. It would be a clever design choice to exploit the player base fear about that to enforce the importance of the choice
tbh I don't even know what Blizzard wanted with this "meaningful choice" thing
or maybe that was about the quests that you get within a covenant
because if it's meaningful, that means it has consequences
but if it's perfectly balanced, it shouldn't have consequences...
Most of the consequences are cosmetic
and lore/rp consequences
But the main thing is u cant just swap to the other 3 abilities at will like talents
Yea they are balanced overall but one is better than the other slightly at different things

hm, I just started to look into soulbinds, and I don't get one thing, in the picture in the pins, why are not the dmg traits selected...?
alright, I see, I hope I will understand this whole system when I get there lol
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
good mormning fellas
guess its also based alittle on the covenant no?
yeah i can imagine
but its pretty consistently haste > everything else
so.. after the 50 to 60 and did some dung etc. i can say that SnD at the moment with assassinasion really suck.. it feel cluncky and out of context
SnD?
we start to dps too late .. i hpe blizz will do something
slice and dice
because it is not good.. in bfa it was a minor factor but now.. mha
in my opion ofc
we didn't have snd in bfa
well prepatch
i mean bfa gear etc
now snd it is too cluncky.. we are already cluncky, energy starving.. and that snd dont fit well at all
idk, I don't think its that clunky
Snd still good on st boss fights id imagine :)
well snd is our strongest finisher
we can better without or passive or dunno
i play gamplay wise not numbers etc
do you like it in the rotation ?
yes
me no π
I dont mind it, but it often comes in abit weird in the opener
for me snd is not good for us as it is.. they shoudl do something i dunno
i dont like
you like it
be happy and relax
you dont have to convince me
whats next, rupture too clunky?*
guys chill
no
its snd who cares
its an uptime finisher that makes you do more dmg, whats clunky about it
that you dont do a 2k dmg envenom instead of it?
- energy reg
i kinda like our uptime atm
is garrote and rupture still below 5.4 refreshing ? same for snd?
pandemic is always a max of 30% of the new dot
ah that was the word i was looking for
that means rupture and snd's pandemic timers change depending on the cp you're at
pandemic
and garrote is still 18*0.3 = 5.4
yeah, it's just 30 % got ya
whispyr what kyrian soulbind are you running

how do i make blindside cause ambush to replace mutilate on my hotbar
thats an addon?
yes
yes, you have to do it through gnome sequencer
the base game won't allow macro interactions like that
hm, during leveling, since the covenant ability changes if I switch zones, which one gets picked when going into an instance? the latest one or the one I'm standing in when queueing?:)
I would assume the latest one
i was experiencing the associated covenant to the dungeon
that would also make sense
The Venthyr covenant ability is bugged in the zone, it should work if you join the covenant.
LULW

what best is the pick for covenant?
If sin then what cov? Pls I ned respond.
Wanted to go with Night Fae(it's only about clicking one button each 1,5min), but noticed that Bastion is best now... my brain hurts with that amount of thinking 
good thing
they're within like 3%
and you decision
doesn't matter
from a dps perspective
Nah, I am just kidding. I actually find that ability pretty cool. The best thing is when you click on it and you get the 2 anima powered CP immediately
NIGHT FAE 4 LIFE
strictly right now, kyrian is ahead by like
1%
and then in 2 months when you can unlock the full niya tree, night fae is ahead by 1%
@balmy condor what cov do you recommend ? 
it's pretty good yeah, not sure about 'invaluable' though. mikanikos is also pretty gud, and even at the high renown levels, its still like 2.5% to kyrian
Higher guilds ans sin rogues?

it needs a slight buff to be relevant, its atm numerical in a bad place
by a ton
sin is probably still "okay-ish" in output in raids just because it can easy deal with mechanics and is very forgiving with mistakes
i just kept my damage higher than a hunters in a dungeon keeping my bleeds up and using serrated
for some reason serrated does way more than the tooltip says
is it the higher tick from the haste?
- mastery
baseline bleeds, yes
ye idk, I was doing okay as well as sin
but then I swapped to sub and instantly did like 250 dps more at the end of the dungeon
haha
fair enough
oh btw, some guide said poisons increase energy regen, i thought it was just bleeds
uh
they're probably mentioning that bleed ticks against poisoned targets give energy
poisons don't inherently give energy
oh because they were saying always keep your poisons going and throw a knife at your other target if they were too far
but it was the same guy who wanted me to do 7 moves in 3 secs
lmao
yeah not sure I would throw knife just for the poison application tbh
feels like a lot of effort
the only time you PK is if there's no other target you can hit and you can't get to it
yeah
I would also throw knife if its like 2 target spread cleave and you have bleeds ticking on the far boss, but the poison is going to expire
I remember doing that on coven in legion
queen's court i mostly just stepped to the other boss if that happened lol
i'm pretty handy with the knife throw but i'm not gonna worry about it if it doesn't give energy
you mean energy cap like 5cp using poison knife instead of mutilate?
energy cap as in, you're going to have more than the max energy
you're describing cp capping
and we finish at 4
if you can't hit the boss in melee you can't finish anyway
so that's not happening
outside of snd, which does nothing until you get there
Silly question here - but is Assa doing well in Shadowlands as far as dmg goes? I prefer assassin slightly over sub but donβt want to play it if itβs not doing well. What do you guys think?
finish at 4?
Awh π¦ thatβs to bad. Thanks for the answer @balmy condor
4cp
4+ normally, 5+ with deeper, yeah
ahh not not worth the energy expenditure for the extra dmg?
k just read a guide saying it gave energy back and to keep it up
but that guy also said some other crazy stuff
he had me practice a 7 combo trying to get it in 3seconds
yeah idk where he's coming from with that lol
the exception is the opener, which idk, did you guys ever hash that out whispyr
which one is optimal
are u guys running crimson tempest for assas in dungeons, also whats best dungeon spec for rogues atm?
sub/outlaw are both viable yeah
sins bad because of lack of haste right? i noticed i out damage subs in single target boss fights
sins bad because its undertuned to hell
It's simply undertuned, and you really shouldnt be
and if the mobs stay alive long enough i out damage in that as well
Assuming equal skill, sub wins in pretty much every scenario
ye its just random heroics so i cant tell
interesting, figured, i think im going to keep trying out assas tho, have they tried it at max gear for m0? its still the worst out of the 3?
its the worst at any gear level
15/30% is not something that gear fixes
when soulbinds, legendaries, and conduits combined are only ~15%
ok, thanks, ill prob swap to sub, is tht what u run?
same i hate it
interesting, garrote now silences when used with sepsis buff... guess all i needed was get some sleep for it to start working
stat prio for sub? crit>haste haste>crit or crit=haste?
vers crit
vers> crit?
yes
ok
So why is it stated in the pins to go kyrian and on wowhead it says night fae?
because kyrian is slightly better early, and night fae is better with more renown
Ach ok k
man I tried to like outlaw but just can't,, sub is da wae
so i chose venthyr campaign, is it too late too switch to another so i can optimally run sub
they're all optimal
but you can change to a covenant for the first time without any repercussions
just have to do the story for them instead
ahh ok, ill just stay with this one then appreciate the tips, i was running assass this whole time lmfao no one told me xD
man I'm thinking about switching to sub for this xpac
but I've only played since 8.3 and I only know law and sin from mythic raiding/keys
I need someone to push me to do it before I gear a bad class lol
spec*
while other people will tell you that sub is some book with 7 sigils
it really isnt
if you are used too assassination, you can play sub after 10min of hitting a dummy,the gameplay is really simmelar just with different ability names tbh 
How is assa doing right now in m+ compared to sub/outlaw?
pretty bad
I'm mostly worried about mythic raids
also bad in raids?
I really love sin and I'm very familiar with law but I'm guessing I'll end up pidgeonholed into playing sub


might be a stupid question but I have hard time understanding why Reverberation is our best MM+ conduit in the pinned message

what spec should i be using for pve (lvling/dungeons) assa or sub? (refuse to play outlaw :D)
sub
jeeeesus why does it feel like i hit everything with a wet noodle and i am constantly at 0 energy
Same bro... gotta progress fast π¦
i think because it assume you are kiryan covenant
well sure but even if I am, I don't really understand why it is better in AoE case when it's just a ST bonus
or I understood the conduit wrong

W/e you feel comfortable with for covenant
Yeah, isn't all covenant more less equal?
Though, night fae has 2nd potency unlocked week 4
and for talents because rn im using 2222231
What stats are prio for sin pvp other than ofcourse versatility?
Idk for pvp, but pretty much haste...
Consensus overall I think is that assa just feels bad.
where does zoldyck drops?
Torghast
for single target is it rupture then snd then rotation or snd then rupture then rotation
rupture first right?
How good is assassination right now?
There isn't really a noticeble difference if you SND or rupture first
i think SND first might be better... by smallest margins of dps to near irrelevance
Trash
Snd first is better, almost a percent for kyrian, less so for night fae
Small ass margin indeed though
So you'd say Outlaw or Sub are better choices?
yes and its not even close atm
Aight, switching to Outlaw when I get weapons then

it's like top 5, but there's dungeon trinkets that easily beat it
they bumped up the chance for poison bomb?
no
CT it is then lol
CT for extended aoe, like higher m+, yeah
can anyone confirm or deny if the drop chances for the lego parts are different per difficulty?
they're 100% drops I think
I didn't play BETA and I did read the Kyrian ability totally bad... I thought that I'd have these Anima Charged thing EVERY finisher for every 45s(I mean I'd have to have ideal number of CPs each finisher)
ye no just the next that lands on that cp XD
And now I am wondering... it's jut like 40% stronger finisher once in 45s, it's not like a BIG DPS boost
much less than 40% stronger
the main damage comes from casting the ability itself, not the combo point
the animacharged combo point is basically just a couple free cp
not some omega big dick finisher
Exactly, that's actually nice
Even better
considering that the differences are so miniscule I think that I'd go with the Night Fae, it's "just" one abilit being used every 1/1,5min
yeah I went kyrian because I love the ability and the owl and shit
but then I switched to night fae because I'm playing sub in dungeons
and hitting the animacharge cp is fucking impossible
I love kyrian on sin though
is assassination doing good dps or is it getting beat by sub and outlaw?
its getting stomped
damn
this is probably the weakest a rogue spec has been
for a very very long time
definitely wasn't this bad in bfa, neither in legion, I don't think in wod either
thats unfortunate
yeah i got sick of it, so now i'm outlaw
and yeah, even in wod when assassin was known to be the lesser of the rogue specs
it did excel in its niche
right now in SL, it excels at nothing
I think theres a bug on Venemous wond regen
Something is not right
A full garrote is giving 6x 7 energy
afaik garrote and rupture proc'd venomous wounds every 2 secs
and now its 3 secs

would go straight to logs
which rogue spec would you guys recommend to a new rogue player to get into eveything?
I personally would say outlaw or sin
most likely sin
outlaw has a ton of buttons
but with how bad sin is right now, would switch off real quick XD
ive tried sin and sub so far (dont like the theme of outlaw at all) and sub is kinda confusing me π
yeah, that'll happen
oh ok maybe ill just try and learn sub then ^^
you're in good company to not like outlaw though
Do we know if normal dungeons droprate for the legeendary memory is lower compared to heroic/mythic?
its the same
Do every spec have the same conduits from the covenant?
dope
you mean the ones you start with when the quest tells you to slot your first soulbind?
Yeah, I meant soulbinds
well each covenant has its own 3 soulbinds
the conduits you get from that quest at the start are the same generics + the covenant conduit
Oh okay, nice then π
anyone tried night fae / korayn soulbind ? with leggo that would bee 10% more damage 100-75% and then in execute
but if it's not ahead it's dead!

wow or iv
its the same information
k thx
with sin getting stomped, do you mean in all aspects of the game? mythic dungeons as well?
especially dungeons
you can probably raid with sin and do good enough (even though its still REALLY far behind sub/law)
but if you pick sin in m+ you're probably trolling
so the very first WQ emissary thing i ever did
gave me a sword for a reward, lol
it's like even blizz is telling me
don't go sin lol
because its very slightly better early on
they're within like 2-3% of each other
there isn't an op one, or a weak one
Enjoying the expac so far? @balmy condor
yeah it's pretty good
which one?
someone know a macro to use backstab with blindside talent but without backstab in the no stealth bar?
You mean ambush? And why not just have ambush on your bar? Sin has like 7 buttons
@cold rampart Wild Hunt has the best mount

Only doable with gnome sequencer, base game does not support macro interaction like that
Is assassination better than subtlely in general?
It's more forgiving than sub but worse
Assassination is worse than sub in every single measure
if you like comfy dot stacking
By a lot
then you'll like sin
since cata maybe
Necrosin is even more dotty than it ever was
when all three specs were kind of low in the first cata tier
that's why i'm playing it. this underperforming, it'll have to get buffed come raid week
will it be buffed enough though
too much probably
We can hope
even a 10% buff
that's what i'm thinking
10% probably not enough
Might be good enough for raids
But would still be unplayable in m+ most likely
leeching poison is nice in open world
about the only positive i can find for sin atm lol
I did find leeching to be really nice in BFA. Have you tried it in Torghast? I've only done Torghast as sub so far and while Soothing Darkness feels really good when Shadow Dance is up, you feel really terrible when dance is down.
It is a nice self-heal between packs though which Leeching can't provide
ok when i just did a quick sim on raidbots just to see some things
it didn't use flag at all
But the question is
Would you take leeching over soothing
Cause imo soothing is much nicer
i just want recuperator
cause as outlaw yes i can kill things
but my self heals are low
Itβs gotta suck at something 
blizz gave me swords so i don't really have a choice, i have found this SL iteration of outlaw fun though
still have to get used to it
I mean in BFA I loved Leeching. I did enough damage that I was pretty much unkillable in solo. But I haven't given it a shot yet. I do quite enjoy soothing in the open world though.
@balmy condor thx
Is there some kind of bug with assa which makes me able to use stealth abilities while not in stealth, it pops randomly during combat. I didn't vanish so it's not subterfuge
that's a talent called blindside
I have elaborate planing and it's not only ambush, i could cast cheap shot
are you using sepsis
what would it take to make sin great again, aura buff with echoing blades added on fok? never thought I'd miss something from bfa
lmao
lot of stuff they could do
I don't think they're bringing back something big
so Imo, the best outcome would be like a 5-10% aura buff with a rupture/fok/garrote buff
a 10% aura buff would be enough to make it viable in raids most likely
m+ needs some more love than that
anyone feel assass feels like poop atm
damage wise? I think 95% of the discord would agree with you
just feel wise? dunno
feels fine to me
but there's a lot of people hating on snd
and I'm a weirdo who loves snd
yeah the ability tracking atm with rogues seems overkill
is garrote duration also less now
nop
only change sin got is shiv takes the place of tb, and we gain snd
everything else is the same
yeah spending CP on SnD feels like im doing less damage by not spending on rupts and env
yep, a common complaint
been switching from outlaw to assass hows sub is it still top tier
sub is better single target, worse cleave than outlaw
you can make an argument for either spec being the best atm
yeah dunno what to play atm
The info from Sept still hold - Kyrian still the overall way to go?
they're all within 3%, play whatever you want
they'll each be slightly better or worse depending on niche
in terms of every last dps, kyrian is better now, and then with more renown, night fae will take over
Thx
well
sin was just as undertuned in beta
so can't say its surprising
but yes
sin is the weakest rogue spec
that's why this channel is dead
hi guys
is there any decent assa rogue's guide?
for the basics, like building and gearing
yes. So its like I finished my rogue and im like...im with th Fae cause of the benefits..but now waht do i do
its like I am not sure what the best spec is at the moment. Should I just go to an alt or something for the time being till its fixeD?

Sub and outlaw are both very good
oh
Is Improved poisons bugged? level 59 and I'm noticing poisons aren't always immediately applied from ambush.
currently i have no swords just daggers so COmbat would be Number 2 in specs experience
God I was hoping sin would be good based on what I was hearing. I havent changed specs in several years
ye it's been bad since it hit beta and all the borrowed power disappeared
So are you still rocking it ? or na
I'm going to play it in raids unless I get stomped
but in m+ no way
if it gets buffed a decent amount, I'll reconsider
but its so far behind right now
i remember it in legion
it was such a timing issue i got tired of it
is it still the same?
my pleasure
bfa was pretty good to outlaw and sin
legion wasn't bad either
especially ToS
tons of rogues there
yes but dps wise i mean it was okay
well it kinda is
why
then you won't play sin
oh is sin that bad?
well might ttry outlaw or sub then
covenant choices are very close for sub as well
sub is within 1.5% for all of them
each covenant will have its moment where its better
then play venthyr if you want
its just gonna be an alt, but mainly for m+
then play venthyr if you want
Why would they launch asssasin like this
cuz usually if assa is within 1% of sub youd just take assa
sub really sucks with 2T
and sin is pretty nuts at 2T
n more often than not you get some sort of secondary target in raid
(also sub sucked for basically a whole expac and i guess they wanted it to have the spotlight for once)
there is a big difference between being just 1% behind and 15% behind
there are also things sub has with it's profile that could make it more appealing than sin depending on the raid fight
even if they were that close
are auto attacks doing like upto 30% of the damage for anyone else
lol this feels horrid to play
i think assassin actually has higher aa percent than outlaw lol
just snd things
u could always do a quicksim and compare % to make sure ur not like massively doing stuff wrong
if you're unsure

ty blozzard
i think its a combo of losing traits like shrouded suffocation and twist the knife and then snd being a thing
now the spec is an open and go make toast kinda thing
might switch over to sub for the first time in 5 years
i dont really like the new roll the bones
idk i kind of like it
then again i haven't played outlaw seriously since ike
early legion
it def is more friendly old roll the bones was kinda counter intuitive just waiting for a good one
but needing to decide if it was worth to roll again was kinda cool imo
idk, i didn't really find buff fishing to be that fun, so i prefer it being a mini cd
and stuff like BTE and SND makes outlaw involved enough, for me anyway
snd really feels like it should be a just outlaw thing
i was low key happy when they deleted it
at the very least bring back cut to the chase
i was so sad when kingsbane got removed
one of my favorite abilities theyve ever made
guys, Did I read the thread correct? opening is Gar - SnD - Amb or Mut - Rup - Vend?
i also ultimately decided on outlaw
i've been playing assassination consistently since like end of mop
sub is kool in instances but outside of that general content is a slog
i guess assa had it coming but this feels way way worse than just being under tuned
idk they probably didnt care to add anything to its gameplay cause it was strong
but then again destro locks were right there with us and those are fine still
well they added shit to assassination and didn't balance around it... especially since it was pretty trash even in gear in Ny'alotha... until we could get targeted corruption
energy feels fine actually to me
its just whatever you can spend it on doesnt do anything
Melee hits being 20-30% of your damage.....
thats always going to be a side effect of snd tho
it ends up being almost 50% with the deadly poison added damage lmfao
I don't even get SnD up sometimes because i hate it... would be at least fine if it refreshed the duration
by rupturing or envenoming or had a talent for that
or had some sort of synergy or interaction with other abilities
ye aight ill agree
you mean like sub's premed?
its scuffed
needing to snd then rupture then finally being able to envenom feels bad
its clunky as fuck, and I think most of us called that when they told us we were getting snd back
its like the shadow priest or warlock rotation that took 30 seconds to get rolling
can anyone tell me which covenant is best for sin arena
Should probably gar ambush snd mut rup vend, if youβre running with subt
night fae @gray oriole
why so jw
free cheap shot when they use their sepsis?
yes
Ye itβs saucy
theoretically you could get an 8 second kidney with kyrian
but like, is that really going to happen?
yeah but its weird playing around the anima combo point
and sepsis is just a strong dot
im real sad that sepsis doesn't empower garrote
same i thought it would at first
i just hit 60 and tested it on the dummy :/
last i played beta was back when it just auto-used a free vanish
i liked that version better
lol, a tier list someone made for dps specs in raiding for SL
actually put sin in B tier lmao
and outlaw in C tier
how many stacked two target fights are there in nathria?
id be surprised if theyre above the bottom 5 in reality
the only things ik that could beat this in bad are ferals and surv hunters
cause unless that number is 4 or more, idk what that dude is smoking
he also has sin b tier in M+ lol
M+ is going to make me miss SS so much
