#

And did lot more dmg, sure

#

But thats not part of "feel good" to me

teal kettle
#

starting a pull and garroting 3 mobs for 3 cp is awful

grim canopy
#

hmm so buff fok?

hollow escarp
stoic needle
#

I personally have no problems with the current feeling of gameplay of sin, except fok being shit and putting up Ruptures not feeling rewarding in aoe

#

Making rupture ticks cleave via some talent or effect would work

warm parcel
#

Like whats that gonna achieve again

#

Other than pad meters

stoic needle
#

Making multidotting feel rewarding?

warm parcel
#

It is?

normal mist
#

Another 5% buff for us in February?!

warm parcel
#

Are you not seeing your energy bar fill up

#

And speed up your rota x5

raven egret
#

try spamming fok out of combat

#

and then with 5 ruptures

grim canopy
#

so sin multidot is good dmg in m+ atm?

hollow escarp
#

idk how rewarding multidotting is when melee is top damage

raven egret
#

difference?

warm parcel
#

Its a night and day when it comes to regen on aoe

raven egret
#

yep

warm parcel
#

Melee isnt your top dmg if youre doing keys above 5

#

Where mobs outlast a single garrote

#

Like yea obviously in a real fast paced mongo, assa is going to feel bad

#

Im 100% with you on that

normal mist
#

I just did a +10 where my 2nd top dmg is melee xD

cinder yoke
#

would be super nice if assassination had a moderately long cooldown for spreading dots

#

1-2 mins

stoic needle
#

Energy regen is good I will agree but the dmg isn't there

warm parcel
#

But its not designed to be strong in quick burst scenarios in aoe

cinder yoke
#

cap it at 5/6

strange python
#

blindside and MA talents?

stoic needle
#

Like our bleeds just don't do enough dmg

warm parcel
#

Well if the enemies last long enough, assa will do real good steady aoe. It just again isnt something most players come up to in regular play

#

So dots feel weak

#

I get that

normal mist
#

Btw idk if this is true or not but:

balmy condor
#

dude another 5% to sin

#

no way

normal mist
#

YES WAY

balmy condor
#

NO WAY

hollow escarp
stoic needle
#

I mean I'm not doing 15+ keys, but in 12s and such the sustained aoe is decent but it's still not quite there

normal mist
#

YES. WAY.

balmy condor
#

(we already have updated sims and 2 pins on the matter btw, ya snooze ya lose)

warm parcel
#

To be honest, Id say 12 in todays gear is low

normal mist
#

Shh I was doing m+ :(

warm parcel
#

Even 15 tyrannical will be too low for assas dots to really show their power

normal mist
#

Just... Resharing the happiness

warm parcel
#

So even at when theres an extra target only occasionally your melee quickly falls off

#

Targets just need to live

stoic needle
#

I have no complaints about the damage profile

#

My logs look similar

oblique flare
#

GUYS, will sin become viable after next weeks 5% buff!????

warm parcel
#

HELL YES

#

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED ALREADY

oblique flare
#

GUYS I SAW SIN IS GETTING A BUFF

#

VIABLE!?

hollow escarp
#

would need a 5-10% buff if you ask me

grim canopy
#

well everyone else is being buffed too who is low so sin might still be bottom

oblique flare
#

GUYS, VENTHYR OR NECRO FOR SIN?

hollow escarp
#

yes

warm parcel
#

Sins bottom cause noone good plays it

#

Just like all the other specs that are low

#

They wouldnt be that low in reality

grim canopy
#

NF

warm parcel
#

Just as an example, top 5 logs for shriek are an average 5-7 ilvl lower

#

And likely worse players than those that are sub

#

And likely worse kill times

#

so on n so on

grim canopy
#

so Peen isn't really that big?

warm parcel
#

A what

grim canopy
#

Peen, the premeire assasin rogue

warm parcel
#

No clue who that is sorry etu

#

I mean rank6 shriek is a rando finnish casual

grim canopy
#

nevermind hes not first anymore

rugged dragon
#

How's assass compared to outlaw ST now?

#

Ah, I didnt see another pin got added.

#

Just saw the top one. My bad ๐Ÿ˜›

tidal gorge
#

Damage go brrrrrrrrrrr

warm parcel
#

If I were to go into this tier now with these numbers, Id 100% be assa

rugged dragon
#

I do hope so

#

I love assassination.

warm parcel
#

Before sub was quite bit better pick for proge

#

But now, especially knowing how some fights work, sub has clear weaknesses

faint harness
#

Which fights are those and why

#

in particular

#

just curious

obsidian willow
pliant apex
#

Hard as nails to parse well

warm parcel
#

Council I feel breaks dance quite often, but maybe subs swap for attendants makes it better

pliant apex
#

Yeah

warm parcel
#

Huntsman I feel assa should easily beat

hollow escarp
#

you can make council 95% single target

torpid spoke
#

lol

tidal gorge
#

Huntsman because 2-4 targets
Darkvein because 2-4 targets
SLG because 2-4 targets
Sun King debatable. It doesn't parse well but does well for shields

pliant apex
#

Sub is hard as hell

warm parcel
#

Hunger is straight up target dummy

torpid spoke
#

is 5% going to make sin good?

warm parcel
#

So up to pure st dps

pliant apex
#

Sub is spec for ppl who like difficult play style

#

Outlaw too

warm parcel
#

Inerva sin if it were proge day and adds didnt die in 5 seconds, now sub/ol

faint harness
#

Sub is quite good on council cus you dont have to use backstab

#

same with inerva

warm parcel
#

Yea I get fok is nice for sub on council

faint harness
#

more cps, more dance, more dmg

pliant apex
faint harness
warm parcel
#

But the constant melee breaks during dances makes sub suffer

faint harness
#

Its just how the spec works

cinder yoke
#

it depends on if people are trying to fluff numbers or kill the boss

pliant apex
#

Itโ€™s a VERY hard spec

cinder yoke
#

sub is amazing for council/inverva

faint harness
#

For boss dmg ye

cinder yoke
#

because you have plenty of irrelevant adds to funnel real targets

pliant apex
#

Only if youโ€™re a good rogue

warm parcel
#

Sludge is hidden op for sin as subs burst sucks balls

pliant apex
#

Above average at least

warm parcel
#

Sins burst however is ๐Ÿ“ˆ

#

SLG I feel sin too

faint harness
#

I feel like most fights are just bad for rogues overall, not like outlaw shines on slg or sin shines on huntsman. Just better than worst

warm parcel
#

Denny I honestly dno

tidal gorge
#

Quite good compared to what though? Sub on Darkvein is 4th from the bottom

#

At 90th percentile

faint harness
#

Boss dmg is the metric

#

on that fight

warm parcel
#

Im at least talking rogue spec vs rogue spec

faint harness
#

Adds are passively cleaved

warm parcel
#

Im not looking at other classes

faint harness
#

Yea ofc

#

Still think outlaw is the best rogue spec on slg and denny

vast patio
#

how many tuning passes will it take

#

just saw the feb 2 notes, lol.

cinder yoke
#

outlaw is absolutely the play for slg

pliant sorrel
#

until sin gets to rock zoldycks and duskwalkers again

regal cape
#

Or dashing zoldyck

hollow escarp
#

which one was the lower CD vendetta?

pliant sorrel
#

duskwalker

hollow escarp
#

boots, right

#

yeah

pliant sorrel
#

idk if its the nerfed legion version

#

or unnerfed

#

i forget

lost sentinel
#

I wanna play sin but I have not kept up with my weekly torghast lol

#

I guess next tier is a thing

regal cape
#

Dusk, but that was reliant on the relics and reducing the cd to sync with other cds

warm parcel
#

Boots kinda will not be something you wanna have if it desyncs vanish

#

As assas generally been all about the 2min window

hollow escarp
#

I was kinda weird and played vision of perfection in 8.3 PEPW

pliant sorrel
#

yea boots got nerfed and every assass swapped to MA

#

when u poison bomb with vendoota shiv and MA up

slender peak
faint harness
#

Don't care a whole lot for the farm logs tbh

#

For prog you want boss dmg mainly

pliant sorrel
#

apl inst updated with hotfix right?

#

oh no

warm parcel
#

apl isnt what handles that, but no that change likely isnt in rb

pliant sorrel
#

cause iits not live yet

#

goes live tues right

#

yea

warm parcel
#

With the weekly reset

grim canopy
#

anyone here stream assassin

pliant sorrel
#

if i maff good

#

put sin behind sub for me about 100-200

faint harness
#

Its in pins

grim canopy
cinder yoke
#

never

#

sweeping prediction

pliant sorrel
#

o

#

its literally is in the pin

#

guess i maffed good

faint harness
#

I mean its like 3% better than before

#

๐Ÿ™‚

grim canopy
#

too much auto attack

faint harness
#

m+ stonks rising

pliant sorrel
#

dont hold the line

grim canopy
#

i told them dont put in SND

pliant sorrel
#

sell all rogue stonk

grim canopy
#

they dindt listen

slender peak
#

rip having to make another legendary ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

hollow escarp
#

apply as outlaw, change spec before key is in

#

and outdps the boomkin

grim canopy
#

wtf

hollow escarp
#

it's easier to notice when that happens, because it is expected for boomies and fire mages to be top dps in keys

#

when they are not, you are more likely to notice LULW

grim canopy
#

so no single sins streamer exists?

warm parcel
#

There are no sin players etu

grim canopy
#

i even see Demo ones dude

#

lol

slender peak
#

all the rogue streamers probably went sub or outlaw

pliant sorrel
#

or windwalker

hollow escarp
#

or hunter

warm parcel
#

I had to play the ap bot this tier Sadge

faint harness
#

Rogues broadcasting their stealth shenanigans seems quite counterproductive, makes sense

warm parcel
#

Maybe we back to assa next tier

hollow escarp
#

I can stream oribos laps, I'm sin specced sillyChamp

grim canopy
#

in rated BGs what is Rogues role?

pliant sorrel
#

sap flag takers

grim canopy
#

defend a point?

pliant sorrel
faint harness
#

Be an annoying piece of shit

hollow escarp
#

harrass and afk at point

#

and call for help

pliant sorrel
#

maybe dbl leggo save rogue

#

pls roon carver

grim canopy
#

ahh lame i like being w/ group and just killing people 1 by 1

faint harness
#

Why do you still assume they will allow 2 legendaries monkahmm

pliant sorrel
#

wat u think he gunna do with his other hand

faint harness
#

make the 1 stronger

#

aka more levels

hollow escarp
grim canopy
#

rogue has the lamest cov powers

#

all 4

hollow escarp
#

I'm ok with that

pliant sorrel
#

im not thats lame af

slender peak
#

what and just add more secondary stats? that sounds boring

grim canopy
#

sepsis shoulda spread to targets

hollow escarp
#

I can play what covenant I want without being dead weight

grim canopy
#

true

faint harness
#

They are bringing back set pieces

hollow escarp
#

well, I play rogue

#

so I'm already dead weight

pliant sorrel
#

and? stack the power creep

grim canopy
#

venthyr xmogs elite for rogue

pliant sorrel
#

lets gooooooooooo

grim canopy

hollow escarp

faint harness
#

mogs

deft sparrow
#

Will sin be better than outlaw on pure ST?.

faint harness
#

No

hollow escarp
#

using current content mogs

rugged dragon
#

Sin wont be better than outlaw on pure ST?

grim canopy
#

make 1 of each crafted set for that mog. the feet are fucking huge for leather set tho

rugged dragon
#

I thought sub > outlaw on ST

pliant sorrel
#

more like

grim canopy
#

outlaw deserves to be first, u need cat like reflex to play it

pliant sorrel
#

sub = outlaw if outlaw get good buffs

rugged dragon
#

''if''

pliant sorrel
#

ya

rugged dragon
#

cant rely on the if.

pliant sorrel
#

but if ur obssessed with logs

rugged dragon
#

meaning, outlaw is worse on ST

pliant sorrel
#

thats what ull see

faint harness
#

Outlaw is practically equal with sub on st

pliant sorrel
#

yes

faint harness
#

So therefore

#

sin is worse than outlaw

#

on st

slender peak
hollow escarp
#

the rng aspect of outlaw is not that bad

rugged dragon
#

Its way better with CtO yeah. But still

pliant sorrel
#

people still think rtb is from legion

#

its not bad at all lol

rugged dragon
#

it annoys the shit outta me, I wanna switch to assass asap

strange python
#

sin is just leather warrior

hollow escarp
#

so many baits tonight

gusty mirage
slender peak
gusty mirage
#

sub has rng of its own lol

#

but ok

faint harness
#

Its very low rng

#

One of the least rng specs in the game afaik

pliant sorrel
#

pretty consistent rng too

hollow escarp
#

the cp generation?

slender peak
#

it doesnt have RTB and takes way more skill to manage your SDs or your dps will be trash

pliant sorrel
#

dont even need to worry about it when ur dancing

#

i find my self clipping over more abilities as ol than sub

#

maybe cause i play sub more idk peeposhrug

sullen pagoda

ye i was actually checking the server out how they doing few days ago only like them and unknown entity raiding seriously

hollow escarp

sullen pagoda

#

True assa fanboy right here, just haven't been able to play it in raids because it was underperforming too much.

old snow
raven egret
#

sounds like sub in disguise

old snow
#

i assure you it is not

hollow escarp
#

3850 something dps

raven egret
#

best dps or parse

#

oh wait

#

yea on shriek u should probably do more as sin

#

really bad downtime

hollow escarp
raven egret
#

well maybe u could do better as ol

#

just the downtime is real bad

hollow escarp
#

yeah

#

those pistol shots don't do much

raven egret
#

spam spam spam spam

hollow escarp
#

yeah, I'm bad at outlaw

#

even on huntsman I had more dps LULW

raven egret
#

i play decent on ol but i might get to play assa now on prog

#

which is really nice

limber lion
#

Yeah comparing my best two parses it wasn't far off

hollow escarp
#

haven't played sub for over a month now

#

I want to try korayn sin on huntsman

#

not sure how to reliably sim if it's better

#

better than niya I mean

and zoldyck

cursive quiver
#

im parsing better then sub on most fights

dense seal
#

man

#

im gonna go back to sin after this reset i think

#

i have enough soul ash to make a rank 4 leggo cant decide btwn dashing and zoldyck tho

rigid wyvern
#

I'm like pretty sure thats not how the numbers work out

loud horizon
#

Will assa be a option with the 5% buff

#

Or still to weak?

hollow escarp
#

check pins for more details

rigid wyvern
#

its still only a 10% buff on 1/10th of your damage or so + 20s of crit over the course of the fight

hollow escarp
#

last 2 pins

rigid wyvern
#

just doesnt seem worth over niya w/ brambles

hollow escarp
#

that's what I'm thinking

cursive quiver
#

i use niya with two p otency

hollow escarp
#

right now it might be better

#

but not next week

#

niya bis YEP

loud horizon
hollow escarp
#

np

loud horizon
#

Will you switch ?

hollow escarp
#

I already multispecced

#

didn't really ditch assa

loud horizon
#

Ah okay yea i currently play sub and Outlaw

#

Dont know if i should learn assa aswell

hollow escarp
#

maintaining all 3 specs is fun and not that hard

cursive quiver
#

once beter gear comes out ass will be up there

hollow escarp
#

wish they made spec specific conduits

loud horizon
#

Yea would be nice

fleet thorn
#

are...are we back boys?

gusty mirage
#

maybe

#

it'll be interesting to see how it plays out over the next couple of weeks

inland heath
#

can i play assa now i only do mythic+ i am soo sick of outlaw T-T

pulsar coral
#

lol no

inland heath
#

fuck

gusty mirage
#

probably, just gotta find people who are okay with you doing no damage outside of the bosses lol

#

it'd be fun to try on tyran weeks

strange python
#

Sub will still be better for that playstyle because black powder gives it aoe viability

balmy condor
#

powder isn't that good though

strange python
#

Better than sin sustained non-cleavw aoe

#

Cleave*

inland heath
#

i miss bfa assa aoe potential dude was soo good for big fans

balmy condor
#

against like 6-7 targets maybe

#

not against 5

wow

mortal tartan
#

theres more sin buffs?

vocal sierra
#

Assa get buffed again

strange python
#

Sub back to worst spec

hollow escarp
#

wouldn't go that far

strange python
#

Nathria mechanics are so anti-sub

mortal tartan
#

are they just damage buffs?

vocal sierra
#

How much will this 5 % be in practice?

hollow escarp
#

just tuning, yes

raw tusk
#

im sure this has been asked a bunch but ive been afk since the update popped. Are the sims updated for it?

dark arrow
#

Just got enough soul ash to get my 2nd 235 legendary (I save my ash until I can get the ilvl 235 outright). I got the pants last time, what would everyone reccomend for a second legendary?

raw tusk
#

@balmy condor alright thanks

vocal sierra
#

What is that Whispyr

balmy condor
vocal sierra
#

Lead me to nowhere, but thx

balmy condor

that's the point kekw

#

it's right above you

hollow escarp
#

it does highlight the message for 1-2 sec

vocal sierra

๐Ÿ˜

dark arrow
#

I think i will just go with the ring

hollow escarp
vocal sierra
#

Assa gets closer, if its true about that 3.5% its still not equal to the other Specs

drowsy hollow
#

How many more buffs. ๐Ÿ˜„

mortal tartan
#

pve content is kind of a joke so im hoping these sin buffs are okay in pvp

#

but if its just number buffs then its probably not

stoic needle
hollow escarp
#

totally forgot that

stoic needle
#

I think it's definitely got potential

#

That means zoldyck double dips too

#

Same for sire

hollow escarp
#

I guess I'm gonna wipe my group next raid so I can test both niya and korayn PEPW

mortal tartan
#

i gave up on rogue so i've been playing feral

#

convoke is so much fun

#

rogue covenants are so boring compared

hollow escarp
#

my feral alt is venthyr

stoic needle
rigid wyvern
#

shit you right

#

didnt think about the shared damage

hollow escarp
#

I knew about it on my first time doing the boss

#

but totally forgot since then

stoic needle
#

You also get bonus damage on the shades too

#

If they die fast enough that you don't need to swap you can just poison knife them or something for a first strike proc and keep tunneling huntsman kekw

hollow escarp
#

I haven't been focusing shades since my first hc kill

#

they die too fast

mortal tartan
#

shades don't count towards the logs right

hazy plank
#

the damage is normalized

hollow escarp

stable moss
#

so i noticed that i was trying out assa with my outlaw conduits and ambush is procing some roll the bones buffs for assa lol

pulsar sluice
#

sin just needs cut to the chase back

hollow escarp
#

not sure if it was fixed

#

or maybe it's intended

strange python
stable moss
#

true berrings dosnt work for vendetta

#

just tried it

hollow escarp
#

lol

stable moss
#

idk if the buffs are showing and not giving the effect or the tool tip says additional

#

so if i dont already have a cdr effect then it wont work im guessing

balmy condor
#

(the conduits are also bad for sin)

stable moss
#

just tested and the buffs show up but doesnt give effect

#

had the slice and dice one proc and didnt give me slice time on finisher

#

Is Niya the best soulbind at renown 30? Thinking about swapping from kyrian

livid temple
#

Feels so weird that somes classes have Giga covenants, legendaries or conduits, and rogues are all kinda meh it's almost like the class teams don't communicate with how balls to the wall they go, because balance Druid went crazy and rogue just kinda half assed it

drowsy hollow
#

Rogue was the most disappointing of covenant abilities. Maybe they were scared to give a lockdown class like rogue a bigger button to press?

#

But even shaman abilities are 7-10% of their overall

hollow escarp
#

but at least you can actually make a choice

#

and you are not forced in a covenant

#

I'm ok with covenant ability being less than 5% of my dps

#

or impact

stoic needle
#

A choice between 4 different kinds of shit is still shit

karmic tusk
#

Rather have one covenant actually do something instead of them all being shit

hollow escarp
#

and then ya'll will complain that you are forced to play the covenant you don't like PepeLaugh

stoic needle
#

And you still can't really pick whichever one you want because some of them are just complete garbage

livid temple
#

I mean covenant design seems all over the place, some people got big cooldowns (wild spirits, convoke) or mid sized CDs that help with downtime (abomb limb, blood mist) and others that help fill gaps in the rotation (condemn go Burr, primordial)

#

And all of rogues doesn't really change anything

stoic needle
#

And we get flagellation

hollow escarp
#

flagellation is fine, it's like what, 0.8% of dps?

livid temple
#

Yeah exactly, is it really a choice if the choice doesn't do anything

hollow escarp
#

but you get big gorgoyles in HoA

livid temple
#

At least a hunter can choose to have a Giga CD or the wrong covenant

strange python
stoic needle
#

It's literally impossible to get max stacks of flag at current gear levels

#

As sin *

drowsy hollow
#

It works better for sub who gets a decent amount of haste

stoic needle
#

Sub doesn't have haste, they just have good combo point generation

drowsy hollow
#

I like it's mini game with the rotation the most so my rogue went Venthyr

stoic needle
#

My condolences

drowsy hollow
#

I mean they get the most haste out of it

hollow escarp
#

I get max stacks pretty often on my venthyr rogue, but I rarely play it

#

it's the horde alt

stoic needle
#

It's only possible as sub and outlaw

#

Cuz they get CP out the wazoo

drowsy hollow
#

I split up my leather classes between the 4 covenants for transmog purposes, none of the others were going Venthyr so rogue got it by default

#

Works out that I like it the best of the 4 anyways

stoic needle
#

I want them to rework venthyr so I can go back to it

#

But it's just actually handicapping yourself as sin

hollow escarp
#

well, if we go for actual the bests, pretty sure venthyr is not

#

atm kyrian is

stoic needle
#

Nf though

hollow escarp
#

and prob nf next week

drowsy hollow
#

I said I like it the best, not that it was

livid temple
#

@strange python classes that have good covenant abilities tend to also have good conduit(s) anything that makes their giga button more Giga is win

hollow escarp
#

ohh

#

I see

#

I have a 48 characters spreadsheet that I wanna get to max level until the end of the expansion happymalddent

mortal tartan
#

i just got swapped to windfury group for pumping so hard ez

hollow escarp
#

you got 2 melee groups?

so im outlaw and i want to switch to sin when the next buffs come out is haste,verse good?

Lol sorry around 18% haste was when Crit started being weighted more than haste

sometimes I question my current knowledge when I see these questions LULW

livid temple
#

But haste is always good

hollow escarp
#

not sure if sin has diminishing returns on haste

#

or where is that exactly

livid temple
#

Also what did they do to rogues mastery going into this expansion? I know it always sucked for Outlaw, but I remember it use to be good for Sub and Sin and now it's trash for both?

stoic needle
#

Vers is just better

#

Because it does whatever mastery does but also buffs the rest of your damage at the same time

#

Stupid stat

#

I hate it

fleet whale
#

ep or blindside for sun king

#

what shouldi run?

livid temple
#

I mean they could make it better if it actually had good interactions

stoic needle
#

EP for sun king methinks

hollow escarp
#

ep + subterfurge

fleet whale
#

well i run subter for everything anyway

#

fuck MA lol

stoic needle
#

this PvP gear gives me so much vers I hate it

inner granite
#

So is it looking like Sin will be a good contender in raid going forward?

stoic needle
#

MA is great get outta here

hollow escarp
#

MA is better in single target

stoic needle
#

I don't get why people don't like having 1.5 legendaries

#

Because that's what MA is

mortal tartan
#

MA is sick

fleet whale
#

more like 1.25

stoic needle
#

??

fleet whale
#

shorter duration and half the crit

hollow escarp
#

the opener with MA is a bit annoying

stoic needle
#

It's the same duration

fleet whale
#

MA talent is 3 seconds

#

isn't the leggo 4

stoic needle
#

Oh wtf

hollow escarp
#

it's a lidl legendary

#

still good

stoic needle
#

Okay so 1.45 legendaries

#

Lmao

#

Idk I like being able to get up SnD instantly and a longer rupture

echo cargo
mortal tartan
#

you cant cap stats this early

fleet whale
#

I just hate how unreliable MA is

#

getting 3 or even 2 cp muts isn't fun

hollow escarp
#

didn't have issues

#

but I play Vigor

#

easier to cap cp

mortal tartan
#

if you vanish after your opener nearly all your bleeds are crit

#

i don't see the problem with it

hollow escarp
#

wait

#

are we talking about the legendary or the talent?

mortal tartan
#

talent

hollow escarp
#

talent is 50% crit

mortal tartan
#

fk the leggo

#

yeah on top of your like 20% that you probably already have

#

"nearly" all your bleeds

hollow escarp
#

yeah

fleet whale
#

i play vigor too

#

still don't like MA

mortal tartan
#

i couldn't imagine not playing with vigor lmao

hollow escarp
#

I want Deeper Stratagem to be better

fleet whale
#

apparently if you are ultra geared an using dashing scoundrel

#

DS sims higher

mortal tartan
#

deeper strat will be better late expac

#

when we have more haste

fleet whale
#

maybe maybe not

#

i think vigor is too good personally

hollow escarp
#

maybe next tier

fleet whale
#

also note that every secondary drs hard eventually

#

in sl

hollow escarp
#

why is that though?

#

or how is it different than bfa?

slender peak
#

why would anyone use MA talent as sin? empowered garrote with subterfuge is so much better

hollow escarp
#

MA is better single target

mortal tartan
#

in mythics yes

#

single target its awkward and makes you hold vanish for like 20 seconds

slender peak
#

even with a vanish reapply garrot during pandemic on ST its better?

mortal tartan
#

not reliable really

hollow escarp
#

you can sim it

mortal tartan
#

if garrote is at 5 seconds left, and your vanish is at 10 seconds until its up

#

stuff like that

#

MA you can use off cooldown ez

slender peak
#

meh doesnt really matter for me. I'll likely switch to Sin for m+ but stay sub for raid

sinful sentinel
#

So, another 5% buff.

hollow escarp
#

it's the 2nd ๐Ÿ™‚

peak jungle
#

after the 8 percent buff

#

so... 18 percent?

hollow escarp
#

yep

peak jungle
#

LOL

sinful sentinel
#

I wonder where this will get us

hollow escarp
#

is it multiplicative though?

peak jungle
#

I believe it's 5 percent on the current DPS

hollow escarp
sinful sentinel
peak jungle
#

looking at the parses, I am not sure 5 percent will make or break assassination, might need one more to be competitive

hollow escarp
#

I mean

#

define competitive

sinful sentinel
#

I've got leggo and daggers in my bag waiting.

hollow escarp
#

sin buffed after 223 poxstorm dropped in GV for me PepegaHands

#

only have 220/207 daggers now

mortal tartan
#

pvp daggers?

hollow escarp
#

you need to pvp for those

mortal tartan
#

i swear pve is such a waste of time gear wise

#

i geared my feral off pvp alone 10x faster than my rogue

sinful sentinel
#

I was ready to swap and play around with sin but then the GV bestowed upon me a 223 mace from ToP.

hollow escarp
#

yeah, if I got to 1800 rating, I could upgrade 7 gear pieces

#

and actually get good items

#

gearing path is certainly weird, after you get some heroic loot, you either pvp or hope for good items in GV

#

if you don't mythic raid that is

thin gate
#

all u do is 3 or 7 mythic bosses a week some m+ keys and try to push ur pvp rating

#

welcome to sl

hollow escarp
#

2/10 M PepegaHands

thin gate
#

ouch

#

well M+ and pvp then

#

1/4/10 keys

#

and maybe last 2 heroic bosses

hollow escarp
#

I always got upgrades from M+ row so far

inner granite
#

Is it possible that sin ever beats outlaw in M+?

hollow escarp
#

I highly doubt

thin gate
#

i dont think so

hollow escarp
#

but I wish

thin gate
#

there must be some badass T set for assa and maybe legendaries

#

to make it possible

rugged zephyr
#

hello , when will night fae be above kyrian for assa rogue?

thin gate
#

and even if u want just to cleave as outlaw kekw

hollow escarp
#

keep in mind that outlaw is target capped to 5 while assa is 8

#

and outlaw still does better

hollow escarp
#

they even heavily nerfed blade flurry in beta

#

isn't it 30 Whispyr?

rugged zephyr
inner granite
#

But sin is very very close to outlaw and sub in ST now right?

thin gate
#

this guy actually has good logs as NF

hollow escarp
#

most top sin rogues are night fae though

thin gate
#

but i feel like u try your luck atm

#

to get thoe nature damage trinkets from GV

balmy condor
#

?

#

is it a surprise that he's logging on night fae

hollow escarp
#

why would I need that when Dreadfire Vessel crits for 35k? PEPW

inner granite
#

it seems to me that outlaw still has such a huge edge over sin despite all the buffs

slender peak
#

I mean most Sin rogues prolly started as sub and didnt want to swap covenants pepechortle

inner granite
#

I mean a fight like huntsman is where I would expect Sin to shine

#

but outlaw top logs are 1.5k ahead

hollow escarp
#

I would rather compare the same players parsing on that boss

slender peak
#

Sin changes still aren't in an likely anyone who is good isnt playing it nore has 235 lego yet

hollow escarp
#

the amount of sin rogue parses are too small to compare

inner granite
#

Yeah that's a fair judgement

hollow escarp
#

that's why I tried to kill most bosses on different specs to compare somehow

inner granite
#

Do you think Sin will be a close contender?

#

Or will outlaw still edge ahead?

hollow escarp
#

I'm gonna play both

thin gate
#

sin will need another 5%

slender peak
#

I mean its hard to compete with BF on cleave fights

inner granite
#

Sin is the cleave spec

#

always has been imo

#

2-3 targets is where it shines

cursive plaza
#

what stats and legendary does sin run for celave

hollow escarp
#

zoldyck all around

slender peak
#

yea but thats before legos and conduits that make outlaw shine

cursive plaza
#

and i know stats are super dependent, but do some tend to be better for cleave?

thin gate
#

mastery crit for cleave i guess

true lark
#

hey guys, just started up again and am like 48. i prefer the sin to others. quick question is opening with a cheap-Ambush, then garrote the best route? im having the ability to hit all 3 coming out of stealth to open. is there a particular order to use?

#

going cheap-ambush-garrotte, then shiv, 5 point rupture, or envenom depending on how much health is left on mob

hollow escarp
#

are you talking about pvp?

true lark
#

just in general i havent yet fought anyone in pvp yet since i returned

hollow escarp
#

you don't wanna start with cheap shot

true lark
#

can mix the order up seems great to be able to open with 3 stealth abilties in a row!

hollow escarp
#

garrote all targets if you have subterfurge talent

#

other than that, mutilate is your friend happyge

slender peak
#

i mean if you are just leveling and hitting one mob why not garrott ambush ambush kill it faster

true lark
#

i assume im not going to mutilate coming out of stealth thou. but yeah can replace garrote with ambush

#

er cheapshot with ambushx2

deft vault
#

in pvp ?

#

generally u wanna mfd kidney garrote ambush rupture

balmy condor
#

but while leveling you can do whatever you want

#

cause it's leveling

#

and is therefore irrelevant

thin gate
#

guys 1 question do we even slice n dice in pvp

deft vault
#

yes

hollow escarp
#

I don't really know when is the best time to do it

thin gate
#

but never in burst i guess

#

i think just for preassure or?

hollow escarp
#

snd gives some healing with the right conduit

thin gate
#

@hollow escarp thats a point.

deft vault
#

that conduit isnt really insane tbh

hollow escarp
#

cloaked in shadow is better

deft vault
#

energy reduc is pretty nice for assas too

hollow escarp
#

I heard that dots don't take you out of stealth if you have that absorb

hardy rapids
#

will sin finally be viable with the new 5% buffs?

thin gate
#

at least it wotn be a troll@hardy rapids i guess med.

deft vault
#

its already ''viable''

thin gate
#

wont be a top tier tho

hollow escarp
#

yeah, it was since last buffs

deft vault
#

its wont be better than sub

hardy rapids
#

i mean i dont think i've ever seen a sin in a pug

deft vault
#

i think sin is already pretty good in heal/sin

mortal tartan
#

if you play rogue then you probably wont see a lot of rogues in your pugs

hardy rapids
#

i meant in Heroic nathria pugs

#

not dungeons

hollow escarp
#

yeah, we don't really get invited

#

unless good ilvl

mortal tartan
#

rogues aren't really high prio for raids either

hardy rapids
#

i only ever see outlaw get invited

#

or sub for single target fights

hollow escarp
#

doubt people check spec

mortal tartan
#

^ boomkin vs feral

hollow escarp
#

happened to me

#

the feral pumped though

mortal tartan
#

feral always pump because people who play feral are dedicated

#

but nobody takes them ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

hollow escarp
#

I feel like that's always the case with niche specs

#

you either get a very good player

#

or a very bad one

low junco
#

That feel when assas stat is haste but i have around 5%

balmy condor
#

that's fine

low junco
#

Best stat*

#

I mean it should be ok

hollow escarp
#

main stat, best stat EZ

low junco
#

I am rocking 226 eq so yeah

stark heart
#

PvP being such a good source of gear doesn't help Assa that craves haste/crit

balmy condor
#

people tend to really overvalue the value of secondaries this expac

low junco
#

I mean obv

#

I am still in bfa

strange python
#

Small brain question, but does burrs or sepsis interact with any poison bonuses?

thin gate
#

no @strange python

#

just the Ambush nature damage increase

strange python
#

I see

balmy condor
#

the what now

thin gate
#

as much as i know since its an overall nature damage increase

#

or not

strange python
#

Thats kinda silly

stark heart
#

What is ambush nature damage increase

hollow escarp
#

I wanna know as well LULW

thin gate
#

i mean

#

#

pls killme

#

Boys we are BACK

placid dawn
#

the 5% buff should bring sin to similar levels right?

balmy condor
#

pins

stable moss
#

What secondary to put on my zoyd other than haste

hazy iron
#

Can you really ever go wrong with versatility?

stable moss
#

Vera is damage overall I guess lol

#

Vers

hazy iron
#

Probably sim it, i have no idea what i'm talking about at the moment lol

balmy condor
#

vers or crit are fine

honest lake
#

Zoldyck gonna be the go to legendary?

drifting cloud
#

@balmy condor do you know how much dmg assa gains overall if boss hp were to start at 70% eg sire p2

balmy condor
#

compared to what

drifting cloud
#

to a normal 5min patchwerk

#

I guess sire p2 and p3 on mythic are basically a fixed 7min duration anyways

#

shouldnt change much just another set of cds

balmy condor
#

yeh idk

#

I don't see the point of that

drifting cloud
#

the point is sire p1 is irrelevant for overall killing the boss and if the boss hp were to start at 70% I was just wondering how much better the lego gets

#

are we talking 30 dps or 100 for example

balmy condor
#

I mean there's adds

#

so its definitely >100

drifting cloud
#

yeah just thought you already had a similiar sim stashed somewhere because I thought I remembered you refrencing it

balmy condor
#

I have a p3 sim sitting around

#

not a p2

drifting cloud
#

wasnt even that interested about the add dmg thats just a bonus

#

problem is sire p2 hp is important current state

#

since you phase on a timer not pushing him to 40% on prog

#

I guess its not a huge difference eitherway

placid dawn
#

is it a good idea to stay inside the hungering while he is casting consume?

balmy condor
#

you can cloak it

placid dawn
#

yea, thats what i meant

#

thanks

fiery wedge
#

vigor or DS for talent?

fervent beacon
#

vigor

urban thistle
#

Whispie can you link me the default sin APL

balmy condor
#

change your spec to sin

#

and sim

urban thistle
#

Yikes

balmy condor
urban thistle
#

I'm doing it I'm doing it

#

wait where do I grab the full APL from a quick sim?

#

ah profile

balmy condor
#

yes

sour oasis
#

I realy think assa is becoming the first rogue spec in raid

balmy condor
#

it's not

sour oasis
#

On a fight like sludgefist for example

balmy condor
#

definitely not

fleet whale
#

maybe in 9.1 we'll see

balmy condor
#

sludge is a sub fight

fleet whale
#

but you probably could go sin if you really wanted to an like it

candid token
#

You could also go Moonkin form when in Feral spec

fleet whale
#

i mean don't ferals actually do that now

candid token
#

Shhh

#

Welp I guess Iโ€™ll craft Zoldyk with my mountains of Soul Cocaine I have left over and play around with sin for fun

fleet whale
#

wow looking the forums and mmo champion, some of these people are dumb

#

they see a spec being 30% behind on a boss in logs

#

and think that spec needs a 30% buff

candid token
#

Itโ€™s free real estate

summer cedar
#

Is it worth it to swap to Night fae for Burrs?

candid token
#

I think so, burrs Sims best when I last simmed it

fleet whale
#

while it does sim highest

#

it's not like you would lose out that much

candid token
#

True, but Night Fae plays nice imo so itโ€™s nice

fleet whale
#

soulshape is amazing though

#

and sepsis is easy

candid token
#

It simmed 46dps higher than Pepegos for me atleast

#

But donโ€™t take my word for it

urban thistle
#

what's the APL trigger to check for cooldown left?

#

if=cooldown.X.remaining=?

balmy condor
#

yes

urban thistle
#

safe nacelle

Just got 3.6k average DPS on 8 Mist. Damage is getting there finally

Well for me anyway lol

inflated by 1st boss :p

MORE BUFFS BABY LETS GO

uneven summit

So how much have assa gotten: 5%, 8% and 5%, and its still gonna be bottom tier, gj blizz

balmy condor

it's not tho

uneven summit
#

Bottom tier?

ornate raptor
#

In logic assa might be bottom. But in real assa ainโ€™t bottom ๐Ÿ˜‚

balmy condor
proven ferry
#

9.1 sin will be better than sub

balmy condor
#

based on what logic

proven ferry
#

It happened before it will happen again

pliant sorrel

his dad is ion musk

shadow helm
#

still having second thoughts on going nf from necro

proven ferry

I am the oracle

balmy condor

when did it happen before

balmy condor

it's perfectly okay to just not say anything if you're going to just post shitty memes and bait

deft vault

do it @shadow helm necro is garbage

shadow helm

muh mission table

no covenant is garbage for rogue

shadow helm

had 2soul ash missions this week

im switching after this augment rune mission

What ryler is saying is all covenants are garbage for rogue

lyric badger
#

do i want zoldyck insignia for leggo for assassin?

balmy condor
#

yes

lyric badger
#

sweet, thanks

#

just got it

radiant pollen
#

new buff gonna make assass not ass?

#

what do we reckon lads

lyric badger
#

that would be nice

radiant pollen
#

I honestly wanna try out venth with assass and do the bleed build

lyric badger
#

thats what i am

radiant pollen
#

venth haste + bleed build could be good

balmy condor
fading wigeon
#

No it's not

balmy condor

bleed build is dead though

#

like utterly dead

lyric badger
#

flagelation or w/e

fading wigeon

Exang baddddd

radiant pollen
#

uhh still not top with the extra 5

#

unlucky

drifting cloud
#

if youre feelycrafting venthyr and bleed builds youre not hitting top5 with another 10% dw

radiant pollen
#

unfort, bleed build in bfa was very fun

drifting cloud
#

it was but then alacrity happened

radiant pollen
#

tru

lyric badger
#

where does everyone go now?

#

covenant wise

radiant pollen
#

night fae pretty sure, next week nf are gonna be nuts

#

we get burrs

lyric badger
#

burrs?

fleet whale
#

"nuts"

#

it will be dps increase for sure

#

but it won't be "nuts"

radiant pollen

Niya's Tools: Burrs Icon Niya's Tools: Burrs โ€” Your damaging attacks and spells have a chance to toss Niya's Spiked Burrs under your target. The burrs latch onto the first enemy to cross them, reducing movement speed by 20% and inflicting Nature damage over 6 seconds.

@fleet whale relax stop being triggered

balmy condor
#

he's not triggered

#

he's spitting facts

radiant pollen
#

lol cry more

balmy condor
#

we're sin rogues

#

we cry enough

lyric badger
#

i might be one of the few people who picked covenant not only based on spells but what the armor, mount and theme was lol

gray fjord
#

๐Ÿ’”

radiant pollen
#

be happy its a dps increase

balmy condor
#

we are

fleet whale
#

we are

#

but people are hyping it way too much

balmy condor
#

it's just not insane omega deeps

#

it's like

radiant pollen
#

its good cunt

balmy condor
#

40 dps

gray fjord
#

Pretty sure Burrs is about a 4% DPS gain on average, whereas most conduits are like 1.5-2%. Unless things have changed since we were simming it in beta.

balmy condor
#

I suggest slowing your roll with the insults

gray fjord
#

^

radiant pollen
#

man not allowed to say cunt as an aussie

#

lmao

#

imagine

balmy condor
#

outside of australia, that word holds meaning

gray fjord
#

An aussie on the internet of the whole world.

#

^

balmy condor
#

and you're pretty hostile already

#

so I'm asking you politely

fleet whale
#

not everyone is from Australia and the UK

radiant pollen
#

shh

#

didnt ask

gray fjord
#

Because on beta for a while it didn't work on boss enemies, so once they reverted that (if it stayed that way) it became a pretty decent increase.

#

Herodamage shows it being like 100 ish DPS I think, but it means losing a potency

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it's pretty minimal

gray fjord
#

Maybe more, but then potency is the offset

#

^

#

Right.

#

I actually like the sound of the interrupt poison as a free DPS gain for dungeons and you still gain the potency, but for raiding burrs is most likely go-to.

#

Like wearing a leviathan agi gem

balmy condor
#

any draenor gems in the chat?

gray fjord
#

tbf I was still using diver's folly and force mult until nerf

balmy condor
#

smh

gray fjord
#

It worked pretty well for a while, road that out while I could. Rip.

balmy condor
#

yeh, equip effect weapons have always been a little problematic

wise creek
#

So, what do u think. Will assa be playable in raids after next buff? :/

balmy condor
#

yes

#

it already is

pine grove
#

Woo! Another sin buff.

wise creek
gray fjord
#

It's all perception/sheep mentality at this point.

pine grove
#

I'm raiding as assassination.

balmy condor
#

well that's cause no one can be bothered rerolling

gray fjord
#

^

main forge
#

They will be next week.

balmy condor
#

but it's definitely fine

grizzled jay
#

I'd play Sin if I had a weapon.

pine grove
#

I started after the 8%. My sim was within about 50 DPS of my sub sim, so I made the move.

balmy condor
#

yep, same here

#

except it was 350 dps

main forge
#

I haven't touched sin since week 2

grizzled bough
#

assa is fine, melee in general is not really sought after in raids currently (and sadly)

main forge
#

I am enjoying sub but I love sib

gray fjord
#

You'll see more people try it with this next tuning pass. I think on fights with important execute damage (Sludgefist/Stone Legion due to 2 targets at end/Denathrius) you'll see a bit more of the Zoldyck coming though. Denathrius is a tricky one because of the super heavy AoE in P1.

#

And yeah, Imakandi is kinda right. Melee is not exactly the golden child in raiding right now (or since like WoD prolly lol)

celest ruin
#

how are people having close sims with sub and assa ST? mine is like 350 dps diff with every gear having haste

balmy condor
#

do you have an off piece for your legendary

#

that's respectable

#

are you comparing equal ilvl legendaries

pine grove
#

My gear had a lot of haste (and mastery, but that's junk for both) and not so much crit/vers, so it wasn't as good for sub as it was for sin. My sub legendary also had a much better replacement than my sin legendary.

celest ruin
#

for some reason my sim wants me to keep using my 225 MA ring

gray fjord
#

Master Assassin is definitely not bad for assassination by any means, especially since it lines up with vendetta easily.

celest ruin
#

ah that makes sense

gray fjord
#

It's not the best option, but it's still not terrible. Most rogue leggos aren't more than 2 ish% difference unless it's like really bad from what I remember.

#

Of course depending on fight type, patchwerk/addcleave/etc

#

Unless you're outlaw.

urban thistle
gray fjord
#

And then you run celerity forever because blizzard made Guile Charm shit and I hate them forever. >_>

balmy condor
#

a lie has not been said :P

#

MA isn't that bad

#

depending on your stats and stuff

#

it's quite good

gray fjord
#

The less crit you have, the less stats you waste running MA technically xD

#

But it's like 4 seconds every 2 minutes

#

Sooo

#

๐Ÿคท (assuming raiding and not M+ of course, but even then crit doesn't drop that hard due to MA)

grizzled bough
#

sespis should procc MA ionWOAH

gray fjord
urban thistle
#

Once upon a time

grizzled bough
#

it procs vanish related anima powers in torghast... so itโ€™d be logical... lul

urban thistle
#

on beta it did

#

it true vanished you

gray fjord
#

^ Yep, then they couldn't figure out how to balance stealth-based talents/legendaries/people felt forced to use it (and it kinda sucked to use in solo PvE content due to that) so it went away.

drifting cloud
#

zeph in assa channel monkaW

Wait, does Sepsis use Vein Rippers in Torg?

balmy condor

no

Oh. Good. I've always been skipping that annoying anima power.
