To be fair most of it should still work.

#

and if there's a unified spell for the Cov. Abilities like there was for the neck ability it's a simple ID swap.

balmy condor
#

I haven't seen it

#

but it might well exist

civic palm
#

and anyone can make a SnD WA, four click ezpz.

balmy condor
#

but not everyone can make it like you miz

civic palm
#

I mean that's sad my SnD WA would just be the template with the number colored @ a certain duration > _>

balmy condor
#

but the special ingredient of love

civic palm
#

It's the polish.

#

I beat my interns real good to make those WAs.

@balmy condor happy launch friend

balmy condor
night summit
#

has the venthyr ability been fixed?

balmy condor
#

it works as the abilityu

#

the leveling one is broken

night summit
#

thanks

balmy condor
#

np

stiff current
#

Has anyone else noticed that subterfuge is broken for anything other than garrote (eg. can only ambush once), or is it just me?

balmy condor
#

I haven't heard of it

#

but I'll check in a second

worldly orbit
#

do you lads drop an ambush on the free stealth attack from sepsis?

#

or what do you recommend

stiff current
#

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" ablobsadrain

worldly orbit
#

cheers

balmy condor
#

not free though btw

#

keep that in mind

#

still costs energy afaik

#

they're all very close

worldly orbit
#

oh one more thing, at how many targets do i just stop refreshing slice and dice and focus on rupturing/garroting everything

stiff current
#

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

balmy condor
#

you can pick whatever you want

balmy condor
#

so if its easier for you, you can just always sustain

worldly orbit
#

thank you very much!

balmy condor
#

my pleasure

sand otter
#

did you end up going Kyrian Whis?

balmy condor
#

yes

sand otter
#

sweet

#

im just now finishing the bastion story

worldly orbit
#

woops need to annoy you again, my current opener is garrote > ambush > garrote > rupture > mutilate > snd > cooldowns > sepsis

balmy condor
#

sure

worldly orbit
#

is that about right?

balmy condor
#

yeah that's close enough

#

you wouldn't want to double garrote single target

stiff current
#

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

worldly orbit
#

i always assumed for the pandemic, would i just garrote > ambush > ambush > rupture perhaps?

balmy condor
#

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

worldly orbit
#

yeah its mainly dungeoning/world content i was wondering about. thank you again

balmy condor
#

np

sand otter
#

still not sure what im doing covenant wise

stiff current
#

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

balmy condor
#

if I had a nickel for every person who's said that in the last 2 days

balmy condor
#

imo stance macros are pretty unnecessary

#

just cause me headaches mostly

sand otter
#

90% sure im going night fae

#

unless the story makes a left turn

balmy condor
#

it gets better

sand otter
#

i meant where the story ties into sylvanas πŸ˜›

balmy condor
#

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

stiff current
#
/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`)
sand otter
#

simp is such a harsh word

#

i prefer loyalist

balmy condor
#

a loyal simp kekw

sand otter
#

cannot deny that

#

idk the WC3 story and books just get me every time

#

been playing this universe since before you were born lol

balmy condor
#

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?

balmy condor
#

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%

grim thistle
#

Oh ok, perfect. Thank you!
Is there any guide / video explaining stuff a bit?
Just to make the right decision from the beginning

balmy condor
#

so pick whatever you want

grim thistle
#

Ok perfect
Fair enough
Thank you!

weary marten
#

the nightfae stealth spell you gain from sepsis, can't empower garrote right ?

balmy condor
#

correct

weary marten
#

what's the point of it then ?

#

just for master assassin ?

balmy condor
#

it doesn't give you combat effects from stealth

#

so no master assassin, no subt

weary marten
#

is it just about the dot cuz it scales well with assa mastery or some shit ?

balmy condor
#

the dot is the main part, yes

weary marten
#

but it's not good in the other specs

balmy condor
#

yes it is

weary marten
#

you don't really care about a bonus shadowstrike or embush in others specs do you ?

balmy condor
#

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

weary marten
#

drawback also : my stealth bind cheap shot is my mutilate unstealth xD so when it procs i can't mutilate anymore πŸ˜‚

#

yeah but you need to be 10-15 sec ahead of that cheap shot

dim glacier
#

Can double dps assass get far in 2s

balmy condor
#

its still a cheap shot you wouldn't be able to use otherwise

dim glacier
#

I playbwith a surv hunter

balmy condor
#

should probably ask the #pvp guys that

#

I would assume not

#

considering how bad sin is atm

weary marten
#

yeah kyrian vial fucking up totalyl assa spec

balmy condor
#

what?

weary marten
#

dispelling bleeds and poison

#

in pvp it's a huge assa slap

balmy condor
#

oh

weary marten
#

20% hp and this effect ... wth

balmy condor
#

yeah I guess it would be rough

#

I don't really pvp much

strange python
#

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

balmy condor
strange python
#

Nelf shadowmeld

#

into stealth

balmy condor
#

that's just actually not how sepsis works though

strange python
#

does it make you invis?

balmy condor
#

no

strange python
#

leave combat?

balmy condor
#

it specifically says "allows the use of a stealth ability"

strange python
#

oh

#

its a shadowdance then

balmy condor
#

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

strange python
#

a one shot shadowdance

balmy condor
#

it doesn't even give the shadow dance bonuses to sub

strange python
#

ya

balmy condor
#

it is "the use of a stealth ability"

strange python
#

a cheapshot is a cheapshot tho

balmy condor
#

and thats it

strange python
#

kinda weird since it is a rogue skill but since NF is one of the most powerful they probs not gonna care

Damn

marsh fjord
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

marsh fjord
#

ah that makes sense

#

thanks bud ❀️

latent adder
#

so like does it matter what sanctum reservoirs we pick? also what do i use anima for

balmy condor

doesn't really matter no

#

sanctum upgrades are all QoL

#

the mission table isn't that lucrative either

steep badger
#

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

balmy condor
#

sims don't really optimize lbe that much, but I think its a pretty safe bet to save a charge before you shiv

steep badger
#

slap that spike>shiv>env

#

i like it

#

perhaps wrong room but what about sub?

balmy condor
#

hold a charge before sod for sure

steep badger
#

worth to refresh during?

balmy condor
#

nah

#

slam the ss instead

quasi spoke
#

necrolord is better than night fae right ?

fathom echo
#

hey dudes wowhead is saying Nightfae is better and pins say Kirian. is one of these sources out dated

steep badger
#

super close m8

balmy condor
#

yeah they're all super close

#

necro is slightly worse than night fae

#

kyrian is better early

steep badger
#

night fae's reverse execute is mighty tempting

balmy condor
#

night fae's better with more renown

#

but they all have their niche

#

so its really up to you

quasi spoke
#

what i need for change convenant

balmy condor
#

uh, should be able to talk to the people in oribos

#

and they should tell you

quasi spoke
#

ok

steep badger
#

I feel like wild hunt tactics is going to get nerfed

balmy condor
#

if something gets nerfed its burrs

steep badger
#

seems op and too simple

balmy condor
#

wild hunt is balanced perfectly fine

#

grove invig, field of blossom, lbe, gemstone, combat meditation, dauntless

dusky lichen
#

gm guys is night fae the covenant to go instead of kyrian atm for raid?

balmy condor
#

all within 0.5% of wild hunt

steep badger
#

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

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 lul

balmy condor

balmy condor

gar build snd

#

you could gar build build if you really wanted to

wide ridge
#

so no garrote>ambush>ambush?

#

hm

strange python
#

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

wide ridge
#

would MA be better with night fae then?

balmy condor
fathom echo
#

is there a good macro for ambush / mut

strange python
#

ya but if you just put it on the same spot in the bar

#

subturfuge will do it for you automaticall

wide ridge
balmy condor
#

????

#

no

wide ridge
#

ambush won't show up, right

balmy condor
#

correct

strange python
#

oh

#

i don't do blindside

wide ridge
#

i just have them in 2 diff keys so i don't go crazy

strange python
#

i like poison (:

#

just using ambush for subterfuge

#

ya

#

it does switch when you use subterfuge

radiant dove
#

good morning all

strange python
#

want me to screenshhot? haha

balmy condor
#

subt yes

#

but blindside is the problem, not the subt

strange python
#

oh gotcha

#

damn that's actually a tough choice

#

i love poison

#

but ambush is really fun too

wide ridge
#

i like free combo points with blindside

strange python
#

oh shit

#

forget that ambush was a builder techincally

#

dammit

#

now i have to soul search

wide ridge
#

which covenant did you go said

strange python
#

i am farming rn still low level to get some of those early profits

wide ridge
#

o gotcha

strange python
#

I want to cash out gold to blizz balance to merch store stuff

#

haha

wide ridge
#

ive been looking at this damn screen for like 30 min

#

can't figure out wihch one to pick

strange python
#

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?

wide ridge
#

something like that

balmy condor
#

3% from top to bottom yeah

strange python
#

haha

#

that's actually kinda impressive

wide ridge
#

do you guys know if covenant mog is usable on other characters that didnt go that specific covenant?

#

im assuming yu cant

balmy condor
#

I don't believe so

iron nimbus
#

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

outer lodge
#

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

iron nimbus
#

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

lament dove
#

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...

undone pasture
#

Most of the consequences are cosmetic

balmy condor
#

and lore/rp consequences

undone pasture
#

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

ah that was the word i was looking for

balmy condor

that means rupture and snd's pandemic timers change depending on the cp you're at

balmy condor

like this

thats an addon?

#

yes

balmy condor

yes, you have to do it through gnome sequencer

the base game won't allow macro interactions like that

ugh, why create a talent like that then

ty for the info

balmy condor

its supposed to add a button

not replace one

#

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?:)

balmy condor
#

I would assume the latest one

velvet ridge
#

i was experiencing the associated covenant to the dungeon

balmy condor

that would also make sense

The Venthyr covenant ability is bugged in the zone, it should work if you join the covenant.

no^^

noboday is atm playing sin

balmy condor
vestal wren
#

it needs a slight buff to be relevant, its atm numerical in a bad place

balmy condor
#

by a ton

vestal wren
#

sin is probably still "okay-ish" in output in raids just because it can easy deal with mechanics and is very forgiving with mistakes

strange python
#

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
balmy condor
#

it scales off haste like other bleeds/dots

#

unaffected by mastery though

strange python
#

but other bleeds are

#

just not serrated?

#

i was just happy i didn't look like a low dmg andy

balmy condor
#

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

strange python
#

haha

#

fair enough

#

oh btw, some guide said poisons increase energy regen, i thought it was just bleeds

balmy condor
#

uh

#

they're probably mentioning that bleed ticks against poisoned targets give energy

#

poisons don't inherently give energy

strange python
#

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

balmy condor
#

lmao

#

yeah not sure I would throw knife just for the poison application tbh

#

feels like a lot of effort

low girder
#

the only time you PK is if there's no other target you can hit and you can't get to it

balmy condor
#

yeah

low girder
#

and you're gonna energy cap

#

ie you got fixated on shadhar or something

balmy condor
#

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

low girder
#

queen's court also

#

at times

balmy condor
#

true, forgot about that

#

but the uses of PK are indeed very few and far between

low girder

queen's court i mostly just stepped to the other boss if that happened lol

strange python
#

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?

balmy condor
#

energy cap as in, you're going to have more than the max energy

#

you're describing cp capping

#

and we finish at 4

low girder
#

if you can't hit the boss in melee you can't finish anyway

balmy condor
#

so that's not happening

low girder
#

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 don’t want to play it if it’s not doing well. What do you guys think?

balmy condor
#

sin is like

#

awful

strange python
#

finish at 4?

vapid canopy
#

Awh 😦 that’s to bad. Thanks for the answer @balmy condor

balmy condor
low girder
#

4+ normally, 5+ with deeper, yeah

strange python
#

ahh not not worth the energy expenditure for the extra dmg?

low girder
#

you're wasting CPs

#

mut gives a minimum of 2

#

and PK does zero dmg

strange python
#

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

low girder
#

yeah idk where he's coming from with that lol

strange python
#

i did that shit for like an hour a day on the bags for like a week

#

haha fuck

low girder
#

the exception is the opener, which idk, did you guys ever hash that out whispyr

#

which one is optimal

marble minnow
#

are u guys running crimson tempest for assas in dungeons, also whats best dungeon spec for rogues atm?

balmy condor
#

you would run ct in dungeons, yes

#

but sin is legit awful atm

dawn merlin
#

Outlaw (AoE) >= Sub (prio damage) in dungeons

#

Not sin

#

And you are fine

balmy condor
#

sub/outlaw are both viable yeah

marble minnow
#

sins bad because of lack of haste right? i noticed i out damage subs in single target boss fights

balmy condor
#

sins bad because its undertuned to hell

dawn merlin
#

It's simply undertuned, and you really shouldnt be

marble minnow
#

and if the mobs stay alive long enough i out damage in that as well

balmy condor
#

that also shouldn't happen

#

sin is 15% behind in st and over 30% in aoe

dawn merlin
#

Assuming equal skill, sub wins in pretty much every scenario

marble minnow
#

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?

balmy condor
#

its the worst at any gear level

#

15/30% is not something that gear fixes

#

when soulbinds, legendaries, and conduits combined are only ~15%

marble minnow
#

ok, thanks, ill prob swap to sub, is tht what u run?

balmy condor
#

ye

#

I can't stand outlaw

marble minnow
#

same i hate it

summer marten
#

interesting, garrote now silences when used with sepsis buff... guess all i needed was get some sleep for it to start working

marble minnow
#

stat prio for sub? crit>haste haste>crit or crit=haste?

balmy condor
#

vers crit

marble minnow
#

vers> crit?

balmy condor
#

yes

marble minnow
#

ok

magic thorn
#

So why is it stated in the pins to go kyrian and on wowhead it says night fae?

balmy condor
#

because kyrian is slightly better early, and night fae is better with more renown

magic thorn
#

Ach ok k

real bay
#

man I tried to like outlaw but just can't,, sub is da wae

marble minnow
#

so i chose venthyr campaign, is it too late too switch to another so i can optimally run sub

balmy condor
#

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

marble minnow
#

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

I need someone to push me to do it before I gear a bad class lol

while other people will tell you that sub is some book with 7 sigils

How good is assassination right now?

fleet whale
#

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

balmy condor
#

Snd first is better, almost a percent for kyrian, less so for night fae

#

Small ass margin indeed though

atomic creek
#

So you'd say Outlaw or Sub are better choices?

yes and its not even close atm

pseudo hamlet
#

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)

balmy condor
#

ye no just the next that lands on that cp XD

pseudo hamlet
#

And now I am wondering... it's jut like 40% stronger finisher once in 45s, it's not like a BIG DPS boost

balmy condor
#

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

pseudo hamlet
#

Exactly, that's actually nice

balmy condor
#

probably ~15% stronger finisher

#

maybe 25-30% compared to a 5cp

pseudo hamlet
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

valid bridge
#

is assassination doing good dps or is it getting beat by sub and outlaw?

balmy condor

its getting stomped

valid bridge

damn

balmy condor

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

valid bridge

thats unfortunate

fleet whale
#

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

frosty kettle
#

which rogue spec would you guys recommend to a new rogue player to get into eveything?

balmy condor

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

frosty kettle
#

ive tried sin and sub so far (dont like the theme of outlaw at all) and sub is kinda confusing me πŸ˜„

balmy condor

yeah, that'll happen

oh ok maybe ill just try and learn sub then ^^

balmy condor

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?

Oh okay, nice then πŸ™‚

anyone tried night fae / korayn soulbind ? with leggo that would bee 10% more damage 100-75% and then in execute

you can probably raid with sin and do good enough (even though its still REALLY far behind sub/law)

assassination in its current state

balmy condor

It’s the most undertuned a rogue spec has been

In like

Easily 8 years

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

buoyant quest
#

too much probably

balmy condor
#

We can hope

fleet whale
#

even a 10% buff

buoyant quest
#

that's what i'm thinking

fleet whale
#

puts it still behind sub

#

and likely outlaw too

balmy condor
#

10% probably not enough

#

Might be good enough for raids

#

But would still be unplayable in m+ most likely

mellow quail
#

hmmm

#

Thanks

fleet whale
#

leeching poison is nice in open world

#

about the only positive i can find for sin atm lol

mental laurel
#

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

fleet whale
#

ok when i just did a quick sim on raidbots just to see some things

#

it didn't use flag at all

balmy condor
#

But the question is

#

Would you take leeching over soothing

#

Cause imo soothing is much nicer

fleet whale
#

i just want recuperator

#

cause as outlaw yes i can kill things

#

but my self heals are low

balmy condor
#

It’s gotta suck at something kekchamp

fleet whale
#

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

mental laurel
#

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.

I have elaborate planing and it's not only ambush, i could cast cheap shot

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

balmy condor
#

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

fathom echo
#

anyone feel assass feels like poop atm

balmy condor
#

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

fathom echo
#

yeah the ability tracking atm with rogues seems overkill

#

is garrote duration also less now

balmy condor
#

nop

#

only change sin got is shiv takes the place of tb, and we gain snd

#

everything else is the same

fathom echo
#

yeah spending CP on SnD feels like im doing less damage by not spending on rupts and env

balmy condor
#

yep, a common complaint

fathom echo
#

been switching from outlaw to assass hows sub is it still top tier

balmy condor
#

sub is better single target, worse cleave than outlaw

#

you can make an argument for either spec being the best atm

fathom echo
#

yeah dunno what to play atm

distant sable
#

The info from Sept still hold - Kyrian still the overall way to go?

balmy condor
#

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

Hey is it my imagintion ro did Blizz

why

something is usually better

i wanna play high end

then you won't play sin

push 20+keys etc, mythic raid

is it just sub=

its anything

oh is sin that bad?

balmy condor

yes

15% single target, 30% in aoe

well might ttry outlaw or sub then

balmy condor
#

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

sour bolt
#

cuz i really wanna find class that plays vethur

#

venthyr

balmy condor
#

then play venthyr if you want

sour bolt
#

its just gonna be an alt, but mainly for m+

balmy condor
#

then play venthyr if you want

grim canopy
#

Why would they launch asssasin like this

shut garnet
#

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)

fleet whale
#

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

restive spire
#

are auto attacks doing like upto 30% of the damage for anyone else

#

lol this feels horrid to play

fleet whale
#

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

might switch over to sub for the first time in 5 years

fleet whale
#

i swapped to outlaw

#

it shows how bad assassination's kit is atm for dungeon content

#

i dont really like the new roll the bones

fleet whale

idk i kind of like it

#

then again i haven't played outlaw seriously since ike

#

early legion

restive spire
#

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

fleet whale
#

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

restive spire
#

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

guys, Did I read the thread correct? opening is Gar - SnD - Amb or Mut - Rup - Vend?

jagged axle
#

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

restive spire
#

i guess assa had it coming but this feels way way worse than just being under tuned

jagged axle
#

is it due to lack of attention

#

i wonder

restive spire
#

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

raw rune
#

its just insanely slow

#

cause we have zero haste

#

so no energy

main forge
#

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

restive spire
#

energy feels fine actually to me

cause of deadly venom

raw rune
#

thats always going to be a side effect of snd tho

restive spire
#

it ends up being almost 50% with the deadly poison added damage lmfao

main forge
#

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

raw rune
#

its scuffed

restive spire
#

needing to snd then rupture then finally being able to envenom feels bad

raw rune

#

agreed

main forge
#

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

restive spire
#

yeah but its weird playing around the anima combo point

gray oriole
