fornow
aside from the start when he was pounding his chest for "I said necro for LBE and no one listened to me, and now everyone's necro for LBE"
and then people actually played LBE
and realized it's not great
and then he got real quiet
at the end of the day
my TC was the most correct in the way it counts
Kyrian best
Cos Pelagos is a sweetie
Dom > Sub for sludgefist
god I miss 1.2min cd on vendetta for a fight like that
They should make triple vendetta relic vendetta the regular cd
i would try exanguinate for sludge if i play assa for it
so why wouldn't kyrian be better for m+, for anima charged CT
exsang probably isn't the move either
what is the best for M+?
considering how bad exsang is
JPQ is the man
didnt you just say his name a bunch of times as well lol
hahaha
he does pump deeps tho right
having gear doesn't make you any less of a dumbass
imo he is really good sub player but not as good in outlaw
he went nearly naked and still did naerly 4k deeps
except he isn't really that great in sub either considering his prior statements
correct statement or not , he was so good as sub imo
i am the most intelligent and serene of rogues
but we don't really need to discuss whether or not he's doing damage
the point still stands that he's banned, not welcome, and he spreads misinformation
gotcha

you ever really regret chosing threads of fate?
Every time
Been leveling up my rogue for the assa buff, assa feels pretty good atm 😮
good FLOW
Hows it feel in raids?
Definitely have felt energy starved every time I've tried ass
Ass
your snd, rupture and garotte uptime is directly linked to how energy starved you will be
keep them all above 85% and you'll have enough energy to do anything you need to do
the worse you play the worse sin feels
That is good to know
would suggest closer to 95%, but yeh, bleeds are your energy, drop your bleeds, you don't have energy
inb4 they give Sin combat potency
not quite sure
Thank you
best assa conduit? 
you can sim it
Hi.
can someone tell me this streamer's name just by DM? i'm curious to see his highlights

also idk if anyone of you noticed, but in twisting corridors, jack of all trades has a bug for sin
mutilate isn't generating extra cps from shadow blades
but every other sin ability does
that streamer is not bad at the game, but like whenever u go on his stream he is on about some giga dumb shit he feel crafted
like good player can still say dumb ass shit and their dps or w/e isn't making what they say truer

Hey there. Anyone knows why I can access to all the settings? Im not in Combat?
I mean the left bar with all the options.
same issue atm
nope, will check tomorrow
If yes, downgrade, if no, update and try again
Ah found a way.
Just Delete Elv UI and Config both from Addons Folder.
Dont worry ur settings are saved in WTF Folder.
And just reinstall it with the normal way.
Yeah a fresh reinstall should do the trick
It did. ^^
Dumb question but im new into assa. Startet right now a clean character and cant find any easy rotation guides.
All ive found is pretty dumb and confusion. Any1 has a better idea?
Maintain garrote rupture and slice, cast vendetta and shiv on cooldown, generate with mutilate, finish with envenom
sounds good so far.
So is this spec viable?
Soon ™️
losers
any german in here? 😄
Did sin buff roll out yet?
Tuesday.
thx
So do we think sin will compare to Outlaw in M+?
We will be weaker most likely
If it ends up strong, I'd imagine it'd be on high keys that allow ramp up on trash.
Contrary to popular belief, subterfuge garrotes are actually a very big part of the damage
The ramp time isn’t actually that important
I remember that was very good when using shrouded suff in BFA. Will it compare now though?
Then again, outlaw wasn't aoe capped then.
Why up 8% to abilities and not 8% to overall.... sin doing like half damage as white melee attacks..
We like take a bone and shut up
Overall would include white attacks no?
Staying outlaw til next tier ) , not enuf buff imo
gg
have any sims been updated yet :o?
no reason to as the changes aren't in yet, or final for that matter. still puts it below sub for st and outlaw for aoe as it is now
Hello there, i'm thinking about putting Zoldyk on feets, is there any drawback putting zoldyk on feets instead of legs
?
Hi guys, have seen the 9% ability buff. Am I right in thinking it wont do much for us seeing as though our damage is now overwhelmingly melee? Idk
yes, legs have more stats on it, on boots u get 66 agi, and 2 secondary stats with +55, while on legs u get 88 agi and secondary stats with + 74 (on max rank)
I have a complicated question. Its possible to get Pathfinder Achiev as twink when u dont quest?
Ive switched my Main from Hunter to Rouge and idk if I should quest it all again or if i just skip cause of the achiev..
also feet slot is easy to get on high lvl via BoE
thanks @serene elbow appreciate 🙏
Which Pact ist the best for Assa?
Which ones does you guys use?
I assume Night Fae is the best one at the moment in terms of DPS
night fae or kyrian
I'm not sin but kyrian is probs better until burrs or first strike
First strike is better on M+ yeah
but kyrian and night fae are pretty close still in general
yes
we have quite some german speakers in discord
Wondering if I should go ahead and craft zoldyck for Tuesday
Have to sim it first I guess
Assuming Shiv is up and I'll need to rebuff bleeds during shiv window, do I hold shiv or use it?
If I'm in this situation, this means I fucked up basically right
And should have rebuffed bleeds a little early (assuming no subterfuge)
Not really, u can hold up that shiv with no problem, sometimes its just gonna be that way lol, u cant literally plan 2 minutes ahead of when you're gonna need to reapply bleeds because doing it early is bad too
You dont hold shiv
The only condition for shiv is that you have put up your first rup
Obviously you wanna hold if we talking sludge or dispel in m+
!bis
Whispyrs Bis list: http://tiny.cc/76r5tz
Is that BiS flow sheet pre buff?
nothing really changes with the aura buff afaik since it's flat damage
!bis
Whispyrs Bis list: http://tiny.cc/76r5tz
how is assassiantion with the buff?
Approximately ~6.5% better
still behind the other specs?
sub right now,
?
I am spec sub right now
It's close enough that you can pick whatever spec you want and not be griefing your team
In cleave we may be really good. Will ha e to wait and see
Ok i am kind of a new to rogue, only been playing one from the start of shadowlands
Play which spec you enjoy the most you can't go wrong
yea i tried outlaw and sub, never really assassination ill try it out
assassin is fun but it sucks so much rn
uhh ok so why Zoldyck over Dashing?
Dashing sucks once there's more than one target
And it's not that far ahead of zoldyck in pure ST
I’ve always liked sin
I love bleeds and poisons
Sucks that I started sub and had to buy all new gear and maybe new legendary too
Never played sub other than this season
Ya I regret crafting celerity lol
Gonna have to wait until the week after next for doomblade for pvp
At least I made master assassin. It’s ok for all specs
I’m still debating the best legendary for sin PvP
Doomblade seems like the best to me but I haven't tested it yet
It adds more pressure and more burst
!guide
I only played sub rogue, but Sin is my Baby and i want to play him again on wednesday. But i have only 18% haste..is that enough haste to play sin to some extent?
That's more than enough
I have that much and my sims tell me to go for other stats now
The bleed from Mut on Doomblade is weak but it adds an extra bleed so more envenom dmg
And is there currently a streamer who plays Sin and also has a clue about it?
Well.. I'm hyped af for wednesday 😄
The best thing about it is that it's a bleed that doesn't cost any extra resources to apply
Like if they cleanse your bleed you can just reapply it with another mut
I’m passed I even bought the conquest mastery ring to have 2 mastery rings for sub
Oh well
what was the last sin buff ? @balmy condor
so we pick last nightfae covenant with 10% increased damage to targets above 75% then craft zoldik. and yolo?
5% aura buff to spec =/= 5% buff
it's not giving you 5% more white hit dps and whatnot. the 8% i think it was koji said would equal like a 5.5% buff
We got 5% a few weeks ago and 8% coming this next Tuesday for a total of 13%
yeah. still at the very top end if youre max dps vs max dps i bet it's trolling to not play otl or sub. but i think this is a big step in the right direction. another 3 or 4% buff would really put sin where i can play it in raid and not get benched
Yup, back in the beta the big brains said it needed about 20% total to be in a good spot
If we got a few more % and some talent reworks we would be in a very good place
30% of sin damage comes from whitemelee+ oil+trinkets +pot . so 70% of remaining got buffed by 8% . do math )
not huge (
Whispyr posted a string in here a while back that lets you sim with the 8% buff
For me it was almost a 300 dps increase which is pretty solid
i just don't know how you play the spec when garroting from stealth gives 1 cp
If I hit 1400 this weekend I'll get lvl 4 zoldyck, 8% buff, and fill up like 3 sub 200 slots with 207 gear in the same week. Talk about an upgrade lol
feels awful
hmm so when you switch specs it doesnt switch your soulbounds
It doesn't switch your conduits but it switches your soulbinds
ahh yea correct
hey question i am wielding a sinful gladiator shanker and sinful aspriant dagger, should i buy a offhand gladiator weapon i finally got another 900 conquest
Sim it with the droptimizer
i did download the simcraft add on
No it's in raidbots
raidbot addon?
Oh sorry I misunderstood
Type /simc when you're ingame
And copy and paste that text into raidbots
On the website
In the droptimizer section
And then click the conquest pvp gear tab
whats better in thorgast twisting coridors, assa or outlaw ?
Sub
ok i am at the page now
on the page i see compare sets of gear, currently equiped gear set and gearset name
kk thx cause i wiped at the final boss with outlaw after a 2,5 hour run at difficulty 6
how do i add the new weapon?>
Cant you get vein rippers as sub somehow
Are you in the droptimizer section
It should show you the different dungeons, castle nathria raid, and pvp conquest and pvp honor gear
You want to click the conquest button and then sim
Vein rippers as sub 🙂
i think i figured it out
seems to be much less skills in assassination
compared to other specs
Uh, maybe I'm blind, but he doesn't use vanish in this clip
He just eviscerates it for 1.5 mil
Like you can look at the ability log and his buffs
He doesn't cast it or get the vanish buff
Lmao
thats with the step buff
Yeah its a thing but i think just first step being main damage
Vein is for sure way better as sinc
ohh
And it's telling you that axes are bad for sin
let me try that again
I’m not sure the doomblade bleed counts onto the envenom damage
It should
it should... much like sepsis should be a poison.
if your current weps are higher ilvl that what you're simming at then you'll need to sim it at a higher m+ or raid setting
lol i got no idea how to run this
ran it againt PVP seaons 1 conquest see if that makes sense
Select the item level you’re simulating for, and it’ll tell you which items are upgrades
If it's not showing up in that list it's probably not a big upgrade
i see, so you got compare it againt a dungeon or boss?
Yeh, the default for raids is patchwerk 5 min 1 boss
Click the show all variations button
For dungeons you would choose dungeonslice
ok let me see what happens after this sim
Gotta compare to a fight type to know how much either choice happens to matter
Seriously?
anyone pay for premium features
Yup
I am considering
not that expensive if i can remember to cancel it at some point in my life 🙂
This picture tells me you picked world bosses, not conquest gear
That's why no weapons are showing up
Because the world bosses don't drop weapons
For your offhand, yes
ok thanks
so really nothing to buy with these conquest currency if biggest i get is 1 percent
I wish I still had 1% upgrades
:(
Also if you get higher rank, the ilvl goes up
That’s where the real stuff is
200 is nothing
Yup
ahh i am rank 7 now
conquest rank?
Yes
Yeah
ohh ok
1800 is 220 gear for example
Apparently 1400 and 1600 are relatively easy to get to as a rogue
i done nonrated, and not very good at it
Practice makes perfect
Whispyr do you have the string hanging around for the stone legion trinket paste for sims?
shadowlands.stone_legionnaires_in_party=0
Thank you
assassination is missing that nice stealth heal talent
Is sepsis affected by shiv
Yes
Thank you
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
assassination will be good in pvp now??
how are you guys healing, i am so use to sub spec with the stealth heal talent
Leeching poison
Ends up being better than the stealth healing talent if you're referring to torghast
Also the recuperator conduit
ahh ok thanks, let me check those out
well i liked it in PVP also at least in battlegrounds
Recuperator and cloaked in shadows
It's quite a bit of extra survivability and healing
so i need a friend to do 2v2 pvp ranked 🙂
Yup, or grab someone from group finder
ha ha yea thanks
Anyone here that plays Sin in PvP; any tips on surviving more than 3 secs? I find if we are up against melee times and I get in the mix I just explode. Too much cleave dmg
Kite kite kite
and don't leave stealth
Ideally you want to Cc one of them and then burn down the other
Ya
That's not necessarily your problem lol
But if one of them breaks out of your cc, both you and your partner should try to disengage
That’s partly why I like sin at least I will prob do some dmg with my bleeds and poisons when I’m running away lol
Or try to get a kidney off and buy yourself more time
That's why rogue mage is a good combo
They can just poly after your sap and blind end
I just find there is just too damn much aoe/cleave dmg
I don’t play with a mage lol
I mean if both of them are up and attacking you're probably already screwed
Idk maybe I'm a scrub but a head to head 2v2 is an uphill battle
Unless you both have mongo burst and just delete them
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're caught in a situation where both of your opponents are cleaving you you probably won't survive. You have to blow all of your defensives at the very least
That's bad placement on your part.
short of a DH, you shouldn't get popped from stealth
Do you guys use SnD in PvP?
stay out of the middle, off pillars... make them work to find you.
I really haven't pvp'd as sin this expansion much, but I don't think snd is good for pvp, but I may be wrong on that.
The prob is if I need to put my bleeds up and SnD that’s 2 finishers. When do I envenom and get at least kinda decent burst
unless you can stay on the target for the entire time it is up... or you have the recuperator conduit.
bleed playstyle aint really a thing tho....our bleeds currently do negative damage in pvp....i tried
That’s way too much ramp up
It needs to be passively added like before
I honestly recommend playing Sub, I hate to say it, but it is better for pvp.
Neverrr
I was sub. The burst is awesome but wasn’t for me
And outside of dance I hit for nothing
sin just doesnt have the numbers right now to do much in pvp
you hit harder than Sin.
I’m not trying to get 2k+ anyways. Just want to have fun but rolled isn’t fun lol
nor does sin offer more control either
If you get off the fat NS envenom I'd say it's got pretty decent burst
So if you can outplay people and bait all their shit out you can end them but it's hard to get to that point
I like it 1v1. More so then sub
If you mfd kidney out of stealth sometimes people think you're sub and blow everything 
Especially vs warriors
Then you just wait a bit and actually kill them
to be fair anything beats warriors 1v1
Sadly in arena they can see my spec lol
yeah... aren't warriors like the weakest right now in pvp?
What?
they are good in arenas but suck ass in 1v1
Warriors are really good in pvp right now
Yeah they have kinda bad defensives and no sustain but they do shit tons of damage
idk, I don't have a problem with warriors... pallies, warlocks, mages, druids, so many other classes scare me
yeah lol warriors are the least of our problems
anything with a pally is annoying though
Paladins in general are just the worst
do you guys take vigor or mfd
Least defensive?
Warriors may have the most lol
Including def stance that’s perms 20% dmg reduction
Die by the sword, rally cry, disarm, aoe fear, ranged stun, can heap out. They may have the least self healing though.
Leao*
Leap* lol
Well a bunch of those are CC, and some are mobility
They have die by the sword, spell reflect, d stance and rallying cry I guess
Plus what else you stated lol
Just no real self heal
Which is why with a healer they are OP
Warrior can sit dstance the whole game and do double your damage no idea how anyone thinks they suck defensively
Were really just splitting hairs here about what constitutes a defensive
people also still say that cloak is the most op immunity
its clueless idiots
warrior has way better deffensive skills then rogue 
deffensive stance is borderline broken
Ya. I’ll trade that for lol elusiveness
You mean prep?
There is a PvP channel guys
OG premed was like 2 cp version of mfd
until your sims tell you that other stats will give you more damage
so... how big is the 8%?
i would say more then 7%, but slightly less then 9%
i don't think the buff is really going to matter, sin rogue just feels awful rotation wise
slice and dice doesn't really fit in the rotation and it makes it a pain to have to keep up
its excatly the same gameplay we have since legion, just with SnD now
and the numbers will be somewhat close too sub
wich will maybe "kill"sub 
snd just feels so awkward
i feel like i need vigor because mutilate and sht costs so much energy, but then i lose out on mfd which would be a free 5 cp snd
yeah vigor is pretty mandatory unless you're doing M+
but idk i just make sure to put it up first and refresh during pandemic and i get 96%+ snd uptime
Honestly feint needs the energy cost removed
if my scrub ass can do it anyone can do it 
use nimble fingers conduit
save 9 energy woohoo
10
I think mine is still 9 haven't got the upgrade
And feint needs an energy cost
It's one of the best spells in the game
not at the low haste levels with the cost of energy right now
it could be halved at the very least
Nimble fingers almost halves it
I have zero issues using feint when I feel the need to
Never have I felt the energy cost is dicking me
On any spec
35 - 10 = 25 ... yeah that's half alright >_>
yeah ive never really had a problem with it now that i think about it
I don't know, get good at energy management is all I can say
Legit never heard of anyone complaining about the energy cost on feint
I've heard complaints
35 energy is fairly expensive
without dbm i can see a problem with the cost
It's a 15 sec CD that reduces all AOE by 40%
Most classes wish they had something as strong and useful as that
like it wouldn't kill or make it overpowered to reduce it's energy cost to 15-20 energy.
mate, not really
Some classes DO have something as powerful
feint is shit cus it doesnt work for so many things
and needs a talent too actually work on everything
and its only really good when talented
That's why nimble fingers does exactly that
and cloak is allready limited by default
Cloak is also an insane spell
Until its on cooldown
We can cheese so many things
Oh yeah let's just not have a CD on a full 3sec magic immunity.....
Cloak doesn't work on many thing these days like it once did
In Nathria maybe
the 8% doesnt really feel like 8%, considering 25% of your damage is our auto melee attack, and the buff is only for our abilities
nor does evasion
But in the past....not
ive soaked a lot of shit with cloak in nathria
if you still think feint and cloak are some insane broken shit
maybe dont play wod/legion lmao
Didn't say they were broken
feint and cloak got gutted so hard at this point, its sad
They are very useful and strong
It works okay. but pally bubble I found to be superior for say clearing traps on xy'mox
warrior and dk have better deffensive abilitys on less cd at this point
DK is overpowered
"Why bring a rogue?"
no one is arguing that
AMS is cloak with less cd that also gives you dmg 
i had this beautiful clutch cloak that completely cancelled an inerva add yesterday
but that's about it
No reason to bring a Rogue with DKs in their current state at the highest level
we are arguing that... we are arguing about being stronger and you are saying they are fine
good thing its 2017 and not 2021
Can't wait to play in BC servers again when people complained about CoS being the "IWIN" button relive 2007 all over again
haha we're not strong because other classes are just busted
Rogues generally aren't bad
besides our 1 meme spec
if 50% of the classes are doing better... that means we are weaker... doesn't mean they are busted
Except it's not 50%
correct, its definitely higher
Even our "soothe" is on a 25 second cooldown and part of our DPS rotation
i can't even remember the last time i used shroud in high end content
Bruh shiv doesn't soothe
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Im done here
shiv doesn't soothe he says
u wot m8
I'm rolling
I mean I just learned this myself at the start of the expac
Oh right they changed it
Mind-Numbing + Shiv = soothe
that's cause it didn't soothe before the start of the expac
nah it does soothe
tbf whisp
most of the time its better too use criplling anyway
cus tanks cant facetank anyway lmao
Yeah I forgot on tooltip it doesn't show unless you got numbing on
not really tho
That's sadly true for M+ tbh
like
Nah it doesn't show with mind-numbing on either i swear
It does
I use crippling more often than mind numbing nowadays
I just checked it
i put criplling on 90%of the time and switch too mindnumbing quick when you reach a soothe pack
i think it might only be for sin rogue
Since tanks don't actually tank anymore 😛
It works for sub rogue too
but sub doesn't use shiv as its dps rotation
you telling me that "dh puts his 200k aoe dmg nuke into the pack and then leaps max range away" is not REAL tanking koji?
lol
oh nvm i cant read
but ye, i still say that add dmg in m+
Our real utility is tricks+crippling so the tank doesn't have to tank 
right now is simply too high
cus ye, ofc kiting is important and should be done too some degree
but tanks beeing forced too kite all the time in +12 keys is stupid lol
Honestly Blizzard just seems to have completely missed the mark with damage intake across the board since the start of SL
I'm still convinced they think we have Azerite HP bonuses or something
well they may have factored in renown 40 into it too
i can't even play torghast
it doesn't feel good to play when your anima powers slowly disappear because of some lame bug
I love torghast but I totally am envious of other classes powers in there
Like things doing over 120k melee swings in groups, 48k melee swings solo even on layer 1.. like who thought that was ok lol
I don't get hit that hard
probably subs best anima power just gets deleted from your powers slowly as you climb floors
Did you forget to repair your gear? layer 1 is roll on face keyboard mode even as a rogue... I mean it is probably more difficult then other classes but still
I have no idea how to play my boomkin and totally walk in layer one and just aggro whole rooms down
Unmitigated final bosses swing for about 20-30k depending on the boss
torghast isn't hard for me at all it just sucks that its so bugged
And can crit
some mobs hit super hard even on layer1 lol
but my rogue as sin or sub... definitely have to be more methodical
The crits are the problem because they will essentially one-shot you without high HP
So after just doing a BG I did pretty damn good but mutilate dmg is terrible. I think that’s prob of Sin prob
And totally RNG
Mut is hitting for 500 max
wanna know how bad cloak is right now?
if you get 3 of the powers that reduces your crimson vile by 10 seconds and the one that gives you a random defensive when you use it you literally never die
even better... if you the +hp stamina buffs, your crimson vial heals harder
you cant even cloak the wipe mechanic in sunking
and its fire dmg
smh
ussules ability
50k heals easy
you mean
fuck that sentinel... he's actually one that does hurt, I forget about him...
praying that you have 100%evasion uptime with step/hook at floor 12, cus otherwhise you die in 2melee hits
yes
is not a good desing?
😄
and then pray you actually HAVE 100%evasion and cloak uptime
and not get feint 4x in a row 🙂
feint needs to be taken off that shit
On my Layer 4 Assassination run I got lucky with HP bonus stuff
And had like 140k hp lol
And 35% Leech
So that mostly worked as long as I had like 70% evasion uptime
yeah it's nuts
evasion is not up for 1 melee hit=you instantly die
basically yeah, it's kinda crazy
you can get lucky and get the power that gives you a 1.5m pally bubble on the last boss
ive got it like 3 times
feels good too spend almost 2hours going trought that
I get layer 8 isn't supposed to be easy to clear on the very first week, I can mostly accept that
and then fail the run cus evasion rng is not perfect
Yeah I got it 3 times on my 3 anima balls..... and still turned it down for layer 1
I don't think we get an armor upgrade either for anima power
My Boomkin got a 100% more armor buff... holy shit going from 30% mitigation to 50% or something stupid
I haven't seen it in awhile then
on my rogue at least
got it twice on my boomie
Never seen that as a Rogue, might be Druid specific not sure
Or just some rare
Would be pretty sweet lol
if you use the red orb on them?
nah, rare i mean those minibosses that always drop a power
ohh
i never buy those orbs every time i've used them i've just got some bs anima that is somewhat useless
eh
when you get soulforge
you use the pokeball orb on the soulforge mages
for 65%fire dmg reduction
and the passive dot doesnt do anything anymore then
its the only time where its REALLY good
It's ridiculous how easy torghast is on my lock compared to rogue.
Rogue feels like garbo in there
Totally need to get that for soulforge... drop that on 4th floor on the first mob and boom ... 65% reduction in fire damage
but not I wasn't talking about that.... It might just be a druid anima power.... we don't get one that ups our dodge or armor % afaik and we should
seems like every class has longer stuns then rogues I thought we are suppose to be the stun masters
Overgrowth Seedling Increases your armor by 100%. - yeah that's what I got on my druid 2x the past two days....
nah all stuns are 6 seconds i think... ours is 7 if you have the 6th combo point
eh, kidney is still the longest default stun
not so much difference anymore
the problem is more like, many other classes have stuns that cant be avoided that easy, kidney can be dodged/parried by like 80%of the classes
so you always need too do step->kidney

and you need the combo points to pop it off
Crazy thinking with it... but it would be nice if we could build up past 5-6 combo points and "save" them for a burst phase. Like hold on to 10-20 combo points.
maybe only for a single target that can be possible to build up
You mean like rogue used to have for years
.... we could never build up 10-20 combo points on a single target
Chief
I missed that expansion if that happened
10 combo points was the default for quite some time
Anticipation was a talent you always picked
i think?
from mop till wod
wod
anicipation was still in the game in legion i thik?
mists, almost
atleast for sub
was it really?
Definitely don't remember using it in Mists
i don't remember it being there, but i also mained sin there
but yeah looking it up it was there
whatever other talent there was... was our goto... but that was also probably during the switching target = loss of combo points
damn actually yeah I probably did use it... shit, don't even remember that
lol still why we have combo_points>=cp_max_spend everywhere in the APL.. maybe someday it will come back
lol
Would definitely be nice these days since Mutilate/Outlaw SS procs/etc. have a lot of overflow potential atm
idk if I want at as a talent but naturally baked in some fashion
even sub has overflow potential but sub is a whole nother ball game
Sub does have overflow potential but in the normal sequences it's a little less common. They don't have to finish at lower CP amounts quite as much as the other two. Even with the logic to avoid it, Outlaw wastes almost a quarter of its SS extra CP procs. And Assassination has to finish at low CP a lot to avoid Mutilate capping. Just kinda funny how often Rogues don't finish at max CP currently due to all the layered mechanics.
And so many wasted SS Garrote CP in BfA 😦
When I came back I probably was still used to anticipation kept going up to 5-6 combo points.
wasting so much of that double mutilate and garrote CP
qustion what covent better for assasstion ?
@lyric crater night fae is a safe choice
ok im kyian atm since they are buff assasstion to where i can raid with want to see what covent i should go
pelagos was a good soul bind early thats why a lot of people went kyrian but its getting to the point where the night fae soul binds are getting better so people are moving towards them
Hopefully it doesn't take long to go back
cool i like dungen
i wish flagellation wasn't such garbage and i didn't feel the need to switch T_T
flagellation is just so not fun to use, I really don't like it
The main reason of changing covenants are soulbinds. Covenant's abilities are pretty equal.
I like the venthyr aesthetic and story but flag is just awful. Clutters up the rotation and doesn't feel as satisfying as any of the others

Whispyrs Bis list: http://tiny.cc/76r5tz
the rogue abilities feel pretty underwhelming imo
compared to some classes abilities
like whenever i see dks swing their arms around it makes me want to play one
What does everyone Mut hot for in PvP? Imo gay needs a 25% buff
Imo that needs *
Lol no idea how that got there
Echoing reprimand is fun to play with compared to flag
None of the others are as annoying
None of our abilities are even flashy are they? Like they don't have any animation or anything to go along with it... Like I notice other classes do.
So if I'm siming Assa on RaidBots, any what sort of % should I be adding to the total dps for after servers reset?
Ok, thanks
Where is the rogue convoke
Or like faeline stomp on monks
Or condemn or spear
Every other class has cool covenant abilities except us 
Kyrian is the only one that comes close to being cool because you get a fat 7cp finisher as a reward but that still pales in comparison to all the others
But it doesn't show anything cool. Like drops big fat anima puddle or anything like you did something cool
Even the druid kyriam ability is neat and makes you glow with your partner.
I think the worst part is we'll probably never see covenant ability reworks 
Not unless they add another covenant
i feel like the kyrian signature ability could've been a lot cooler than summon steward
and not a rework but just we all switch to the new covenant
summon steward is amazing
summon steward is frigging great
legit the best signature ability tbh
still 400dps behind my outlaw 😦
probably tied for the most useful signature ability honestly
I just can't stand kyrian as a concept
Fucking death cops
Otherwise I'd just switch because they're definitely the best
honestly idgaf about any of the covenants i think they are all meh
There's a difference between balance and boring
When they all look like vanilla ice cream.... you still happy you got ice cream
not really
Yes really
balance is boring
i swear i couldn't tell the difference between the oribos stuff and bastion when they first revealed the covenants
If they made the effects actually interesting instead of a pain in the ass to use they wouldn't be boring
No I mean like
The abilities could be cool but they've gone out of their way to make them boring
Sepsis is the perfect example
Well they had 11 other classes to make interesting abilities for
It used to have all of this awesome stealth interactions but they removed them all
that would cost a raid tier to focus on making rogue useful
sepsis was cool when it gave you a vanish proc
No it's not the same outcome
I'd rather it give a vanish proc
minus the bullshit qol you would lack
then you can at least time it to use on something
You don't get cto bonuses, no subterfuge bonuses, no ma bonuses, literally nothing
okay
That's boring
im assuming it was true stealth so that would give you an extra master assassin proc if you had the legendary
It's cool to get your stealth passives used outside of stealth
but you are in stealth in vanish
Getting an extra vanish proc would surely help us with all the vanish powers in trogdorhast
Ending sepsis with an 80% extra damage garotte is cool even if it doesn't look cool
so to you more dmg is cool
Interacting with our class's talents and passives is cool
Flag could proc poisons with every lash
offers utility... silence, cheap shot, ambush. we could sap(LOL)....
That would be cool
I'm just spitballing here
cause you're not applying flag to something without poisons
In general I just think it's a mistake to make covenant abilities not interact with any of our class features
the necrolord ability could tether enemies together or something like that
slowing them or some shit idk literally anything better than what we have now
How exactly does divine toll interact with ret
I would be okay with non-flashy, even slightly awkward to use covenant abilities if they actually gave us some utility and nuance along with it
I think a solid buff to Mut would make Sin perfect. After the buff next Tuesday
Ct baseline
And something done to SnD
I am not happy about the straight buff... Wish it was buffs to our abilities and
Mut needs min a 25% buff
Yeah, SnD needs to go or needs something to happen
Envenom is ok
I just want a badass bull whip sound effect with flag
they need to make another one of sins abilitys refresh snd in some way
that would fix the awkwardness probably
Like it use to
remove combo point compoent to it. or bring back cut to the chase....
The passive
Cut to the chase it was...
Losing the Combo points is a big deal
Or proc off even white swings
flat duration like SoD or Shadowdance
It would be baseline duration
or blade flurry
Like lasts 15 secs
Either that or it should give us more of a damage buff like making our dots tick faster
SnD for sin is 40% haste instead of attack speed 
the duration could be lower than the cd of the spell then make it so spending cp increases the duration of snd
something like that maybe
something that makes dots tick faster... I feel like we have something in our talent tree about that...
Ya extinguishe
i thought that doesn't increase the damage though
it doesn't but it gives us burst
Anyhow no disagreement about something needing to be done about SnD, I don't think anyone thinks its fine as is for Sin.
its really weird to me that sin is slow for an expansion and a half, then can't stop overcapping energy for 1 patch. Then it goes back to being faster than normal
and everyone now starts complaining about the pace
i dont have any complaints about the pace
i just think the numbers are way too low
Im loving sin in PvP so far
I am happy with the pace and the flow.
how
But I’m more familiar with it then sub
must be a masochist
I’ve been just doing Bgs lol. That’s how. It’s fun
nowhere near as much control and 0 dam
I play for fun. It is a game after all
punishment is fun to some people
if you're happy with the pace and the flow
then what
you just don't like pressing snd?
Just not with SnD
I don't like it stealing my combo points to do more white damage >_>
The dmg is fine just not bursty
i dislike sin being an autoattack spec
but people play outlaw and enjoy that
outlaw is way more autoattack spec than sin
Sub is all shadowdance or nothing. That’s boring to me
I think the spec becomes far too simple if you are only maintaining rupture
outlaw is fine
its already brain dead easy
like its not that complicated as it, but if our only finishers were rupture + envenom i might fall asleep
but i want sin to be bleeds and poisons first and foremost
people just don't like snd
Survivability is the problem
Although it would be nice to have some sort of "chance" to add seconds on to SnD maybe not a full refresh like Cut to the Chase did, but say like 10 seconds or some sort of synergy
i would like SND to buff our bleeds and poisons more than just giving us energy to upkeep them
and more AAs for procs
like people see snd and they like the damage, but hate hitting the button
Mut just needs a buff and SnD a rework and sin is fine
you want the benefits without having to press a button every 40 seconds
its mind boggling
no magic feelcraft numbers in the channel pls
honestly I just be happy with my combo points back
It’s not a matter of hitting the button for SnD
If SnD boosted our dot tick rate instead of attack speed I wouldn't say a word about SnD
In PvP for example games last 3 secs
I don't feel like other builder spender specs have something that is so lack luster
It just gives us a reward I'm not interested in it doesn't fit the class fantasy
You need to rupture first then if you SnD that’s 2 rounds of CP for no dmg hardly
sub and law little have the same thing
Especially when Sub has Shadowdance and Symbols of Death that cost 0 combo points and feels good to hit them
Then maybe get 1 envenom in before you have to rupture again
rupture and snd "no damage"

what the fk am I reading
Blade flurry costs 0 combo points... same with Roll the Bones
they have slice though
In PvP ya lol
slice and rupture are our 2 highest dpet abilities
they don't have to maintain atleast 3 different dots on multiple targets though
outlaw literally presses 1 button and continues their single target rotation for cleave
yeah but are they starving for combo points?
Ok sin channel getting juicy again I love all of the information that is wrong
if you dont like maintaining dots and buffs, why are you playing sin
I felt like i was starving for combo points as sin
You guys know what PvP is right? Lol.
like every discussion here is just "snd bad, sin slow, ree"
point for point who gets more CP between all the specs?
recycled over and over and over
Setting up rupture and SnD will take about 10 secs or so
wut
yeh but this isn't a pvp channel most of the time
By that time other classes already have done 50k dmg
Same shit that was said months ago just resurfaced again 😂🤣😂
Let's trade new Shiv/TB for HfB, ree?
so you're complaining a dot class doesn't burst
I like Shiv
the pvp meta being based around burst doesnt mean sin should become a burst spec lol
bruh this channel never ceases to make me lose my mind
just wait for people to have more stam and arenas stop ending in 30s and sin will probably become more relevant
I said up Mut by 25%. Lol. It hits for 500 in PvP.
That would make it 750. If that’s burst to you .....
Dude this is the only channel I actually understand enough to get the joy out of the complaints
I read sub and it’s all Spanish, but this shit..... OMG
who cares about pvp nonsense
Dude ive been playing sin in pvp, the strength of the class is in multi-doting
sin does fine for what it does
you hard swapping on reset whisp?
big
also doomblade for pvp is apparently a big help
I have master assassin for now sadly
does exactly what you want in making mut/enevom stronger
And torghast is hell so it will be a while
anyway back to the main topic, when I press snd I don't see big numbers flying across my screen, any fixes?
genius
you have too play balance druid
guranteed big numbers
I thought the main topic was does the 8% buff make us good again?
