i'm fine with this iteration of outlaw. legion version kinda sucked and made me want to die whenever i played it.

#

bfa was aight too

hollow escarp
#

I'm a sin main with rank 4 celerity PepeLaugh

frail fossil
#

This iteration is amazing

versed mica
#

take outlaw, tinker, and necromancer, and make them all specs for Clown class

stoic needle
#

Or just like let rogue have 4 specs

quaint sequoia
#

really missing toggle blade flurry on outlaw

stoic needle
#

I can't abide by outlaw since it comes at the cost of combat

versed mica
#

what was combat if not outlaw without rtb

quaint sequoia
#

I liked when only diffrence between ST and aoe was a toggle

low girder
#

blade flurry may as well be a toggle atm\

hollow escarp
#

you have it on CD anyway

stoic needle
#

Think about how much they could develop outlaw if it was it's own class. You could have a pistol bomb and cannon spec, a tank spec and the current swashbuckler spec

hollow escarp
#

bring Smuggler buff for rouge - for extra loot in raids

low girder
#

kinda stepping on current sv with the first one

stoic needle
#

Sv has one bomb

#

One

quaint sequoia
#

well sv should never been remade so

low girder
#

well yeah

strange python
#

what a fun and engaging class

low girder
#

not gonna argue there

stoic needle
#

BM should have become the melee spec

strange python
#

mash raptor strike and throw bomb sometimes

low girder
#

no, they just shouldn't have touched any of them

versed mica
#

again, what makes outlaw much different from combat with the exception of rtb?

low girder
#

they were fine, but let's add ANOTHER melee spec

quaint sequoia
#

hunter should just be ranged 🤷‍♂️

stoic needle
#

The theme

versed mica
#

like what would making outlaw it's own class do lmao

stoic needle
#

Combat doesn't have a forced as hell pirate theme

low girder
#

bandit's guile is the primary thing i miss

versed mica
#

they pulled back on it a bit

low girder
#

the leggo doesn't really come close to what it was

#

you can't delay it like you could with combat

stoic needle
#

It lets people who want to be pirates be pirates without ruining a classic part of another class

strange python
#

there's barely a forced pirate theme, guns aren't exclusive to pirates. The only thing that's really forced is the animation on RTB (I guess)

stoic needle
#

Barely?

#

Come on man let's be realistic

#

Drink up me hearties

#

The grappling hook

versed mica
#

playing outlaw in pvp

fleet whale
#

Outlaw isn’t as piratey as it was in legion

versed mica
#

pirates don't have grapple hooks lmao wym

stoic needle
#

Greenskin? The flintlock pistol?

low girder
#

not nearly as much, no

stoic needle
#

How do you think they boarded enemy ships

vocal cipher
#

!bis

prisma monolithBOT
stoic needle
#

With grappling hooks

#

And ropes

#

The pirate theme is there idk how this is even an argument

frail fossil
#

Pirate def feels pirate

low girder
#

rip ghost ship

frail fossil
#

Roll the bones, bte, even acrobatic strike is part of the fantasy

low girder
#

you were never used, and that was a shame

versed mica
#

not really, they used grapple hooks to like, hold their ship to the other ship

#

they didnt throw a grapple and then zoom to the other side

hollow escarp
#

acrobatic strikes talent can only be played with Thunderfurry

stoic needle
#

Just cuz it's slightly less than legion doesn't mean that is not still there and not any less forced

hollow escarp
#

for immersion

versed mica
#

bte and acrobatic strikes is arguably not exclusively pirate

low girder
#

i mean it's a lot less forced. at least it's not "sabre slash" and "run through"

#

for no reason

versed mica
#

yeah it's ss and dispatch

#

and they got rid of "ghost ship" aoe talent

stoic needle
#

It still feels wrong

versed mica
#

god that was such a lame talent

low girder
#

nah it was cool

torpid spoke
#

You guys think assassin will be good after buffs

low girder
#

they just half assed it

#

should've gone all in, make a good animation

low girder
#

instead of just generic explosion with no ship at all

#

why even mention a ship

stoic needle
#

I just think it would be better for everyone if they made it it's own class and turned the pirate thing up to 11

versed mica
#

that would be even more stupid, a pirate summoning an entire ass ghost ship like what??? omegalul

stoic needle
#

Instead of this weird half combat half pirate thing we have now

low girder
#

yeah, why not

#

fuck it, you're gonna go pirate go all in

#

make it fun

versed mica
#

why would a pirate go to the shadowlands tho

stoic needle
#

And let us boomers have combat back peepomad

#

To steal all of the shadow booty

#

Duh

versed mica
#

and what is a pirate without his ship

#

a thug

#

a bandit

#

a

#

hmm

#

an outlaw

low girder
#

rogue?

#

damn

stoic needle
#

Honestly if they used the glyph system to give us less piratey versions of rtb and pistol shot and stuff I wouldn't mind that either

torpid spoke
#

Are there breakpoints for haste?

stoic needle
#

No there are not

torpid spoke
#

The more the better? Lol

stoic needle
#

Give us a glyph that makes RTB into combat senses, changes the flintlock pistol into a different model and I wouldn't complain

median aurora
#

sim it but remember that SL introduced diminishing returns for stats

stoic needle
#

You can't get to stat DR this early in the expansion

median aurora
#

im pretty certain i hit vers and crit DR already

stoic needle
#

Even if you got to the first or second DR it would still be good

#

Haste is just good

median aurora
#

you still just sim

torpid spoke
#

How much haste do y’all have right now

stoic needle
#

I had 21% but I have some pvp gear now so I'm back down to like 18%

torpid spoke
#

All other secondaries are like close?

#

Would it be good to just plop on a fuck ton of vers and call it a day

fierce rivet
#

Do secondary stats priorities differ for m+ and raid content variants?

winter gale
#

Is high end outlaw gear good for start?

#

Haste Versa?

#

I just want to insta switch to assa

median aurora
stoic needle
#

Crit is more important than vers in my opinion for aoe because you need to get more reliable CP from FoK

fierce rivet
#

So haste crit on leggos?

stoic needle
#

My stat priority is haste > crit > vers > mast

hollow escarp
#

that's what I did

stoic needle
#

Haste vers or haste crit is fine

hollow escarp
#

vers gear is so easy to get with conquest vendor anyway

stoic needle
#

My zoldyck is haste vers and it doesn't really matter

#

As long as you pick crit or vers, the one slot from your legendary isn't going to make a huge difference

winter gale
#

If I prioritize raiding and play Ms as Outlaw...which leggo is bis for Assa?

hollow escarp
#

zoldyck

stoic needle
#

Don't get baited and craft dashing

#

Zoldyck for all pve content

hollow escarp
#

I'm kinda sad I crafted Finality on sub, should have went with Akaari as I rarely play it and I could have used it in pure single target fights

stoic needle
#

Using dashing just makes you a worse sub rogue

fiery wedge
#

i crafted doomblade is it gg?

hollow escarp
#

pvp EZ

stoic needle
#

It's good for pvp and that's about it

toxic tusk
#

Any of you alliance types on want to team up/do random stuff?

fiery wedge
#

F

stoic needle
#

When/if we can use 2 legendaries it might be a solid 2nd

#

And technically it's equal to zoldyck on st but that's only in bis gear, and again if you aren't using zoldyck in raid you're kinda trolling

fiery wedge
#

leg or feet better for zoldyck?

stoic needle
#

Legs

hollow escarp
torpid spoke
#

In the sim of sub vs assassin

stoic needle
#

That just seems... Wrong

hollow escarp
#

I wonder why the set talents for single target is subterfurge

torpid spoke
#

What legendary is sin using?

stoic needle
#

Herodamage is using some pretty unoptimized gear for sin so I think those legendary sims are kinda wrong

hollow escarp
#

I guess I need to dump some gold if I wanna craft my own rank 4 pants

stoic needle
#

If you have haste/x stuff in every slot zoldyck catches up

fiery wedge
#

my haste rating is about 800 right now lol

stoic needle
fiery wedge
#

24%

torpid spoke
#

So dashing scoundrel would be like bring it even closer then?

stoic needle
#

Yeah

#

Dashing is kinda bait though

torpid spoke
#

How so?

stoic needle
#

It's only good for single target fights

#

And the execute value of zoldyck outweighs the small dps increase from Dashing

fiery wedge
#

fok poison dots doesnt count on multiple targets?

stoic needle
#

You have to envenom to get the effect to activate

torpid spoke
#

And it last the duration of the envenom right

stoic needle
#

Yeah which is pretty short

fiery wedge
#

oh right didnt realised the envenom part

torpid spoke
#

Hmmm Idk I’ll have enough soul ash to make a leg for sin but this convinced me to make zoldyck

fiery wedge
#

i need to farm more.. since i went all in on doomblade F

stoic needle
#

Someone posted a couple logs here earlier that showed a sin rogue only 100 dps behind an outlaw rogue during p3 of sire which is all execute

#

This is before the buffs we're gonna get on Tuesday

feral basin
#

Oooooofffff that could be big

#

I'm on site progress tomorrow

#

sire

hollow escarp
#

that's perfect execution though

feral basin
#

And it's tempting

torpid spoke
#

Mythic?

hollow escarp
#

no

stoic needle
#

But if it works in heroic it'll work in Mythic too

hollow escarp
#

my first sin kill on sire was with Vendetta getting out of CD at 500k hp, so I didn't get much value out of it 😦

feral basin
#

The DPS gain from outlaw is P1 isn't really worth anything from the add cleave

stoic needle
#

It's just padding

feral basin
#

Yup feels good NGL but in the big picture

stoic needle
#

And sin's 2 target cleave is almost as good as outlaw's

torpid spoke
#

Add cleave p2 is good though

feral basin
#

So P2 will be interesting

stoic needle
#

Sin's cleave is better than sub's by far

feral basin
#

Suberfuge maybe good for the garrote on the two adds

stoic needle
#

Yes it is

feral basin
#

Might have a look at it

stoic needle
#

And you can multidot sire and remornia

hollow escarp
#

I didn't play subterfurge becuase our melee ads die fast

novel surge
#

You just reapply the empowered garrote on vanish

stoic needle
#

Getting 2 empowered garottes on sire and remornia is big

hollow escarp
#

gonna try it next week

#

this week I killed it as outlaw PEPW

stoic needle
hollow escarp
#

hey, new guild

stoic needle
#

Lol

hollow escarp
#

don't wanna play the bad spec Sadge

stoic needle
#

Well you have an excuse soon

#

Burrs next week too

#

And first strike after that poggers

hollow escarp
#

no excuse, will play sin EZ

#

also in my guild there are 3 rogues, they play sub and outlaw

feral basin
#

Wonder if it's worth trying sin on Sire this weekend to compare it to next week after the buff 🤔🤔

hollow escarp
#

so next week we'll see what's the best spec Stronge

stoic needle
#

You better bring it

feral basin
hollow escarp
#

the only issue I have with sin on sire is doing no damage in phase 1, but that's just padding

stoic needle
#

Just tunnel sire

feral basin
#

Come P2 the meters are almost reset

#

Cos of the period of down time

hollow escarp
#

yeah, I fok once or twice

#

and attack sire

native turtle
#

Have all the negative IQ people left?? Can we go back to memes yet??

hollow escarp
#

not yet

stoic needle
#

You could ||rupture snipe||

native turtle
#

Sadge

hollow escarp
#

did that a few times PEPW

#

phase 1 on outlaw feels so good though if blade rush is not on CD Kreygasm

pseudo hamlet
#

Boys, the 5% assa buff means we're going to be at last on pair with sub?

stoic needle
#

It's not a bad idea for sire to get more damage in

#

Yes eazye

pseudo hamlet
#

PRAISE THE ASS

hollow escarp
feral basin
#

Outlaw has always been more suited to both styles , but the playstyle is headache city

hollow escarp
#

I like it

stoic needle
#

I like it but I don't like being a pirate

winter gale
#

Blindside is the way to go?

north pewter
#

I use it, and it procs quite often. It's a quick way to fill CP.

#

It does a decent amount of extra dmg as well

winter gale
#

Ty m8

#

I should put Zoldyck on pants?

#

Or?

#

I feel the hype going back to assa

vocal sierra
#

It's just a hype...nothing is certain yet

winter gale
#

Well, 5 % upgrade is ceratain and then it will be 18% since release total.

stoic needle
#

Sounds like coping to me

#

The math doesn't lie

#

Zoldyck goes on pants

toxic tusk
#

What if it went on boots?

#

WHAT IF IT WENT ON BOOTS?!

stoic needle
#

You done hecked up son

toxic tusk
#

Frig.

vocal sierra
#

wait

topaz saffron
#

Lmao

vocal sierra
#

9% and 5% are 18%?

stoic needle
#

You could've had zoldyck legs and dashing boots when we get to use double leggo

toxic tusk
#

I bought the 235 boots before I realized what I was doing 😦

topaz saffron
#

We had a 5% before the 8?

winter gale
#

5+8+5

vocal sierra
#

k

stoic needle
#

Now you'll have to have zoldyck boots and dashing cape

#

It really doesn't matter but it's less stats than legs and boots

vocal sierra
#

but is assa after buff nr.1 or not?

stoic needle
#

No

toxic tusk
#

Number 1 in our hearts.

stoic needle
#

Outlaw is still #1 but sin will be roughly equal to sub

vocal sierra
#

ok so no reason in dmg terms to play assa

winter gale
#

Its close enough to be viable and I since I play it better I will surpass my percentiles with it which means for me it will be better 😄

stoic needle
#

Yes there is, you do more damage on fights with lots of mechanics and you do more damage than any rogue spec in execute phase which is important for progression

vocal sierra
#

That's your Reason, it's fine 🙂

toxic tusk
#

On percentiles and parses. We raid on Thursday’s, so if the reset is on Tuesday’s am I realistically parsing against two days worth of players?

#

Oh god yeah @vocal sierra, play for whatever reason you want to!

vocal sierra
#

Serious, they better fix that we can change sec stats on any item

stoic needle
#

They won't

vocal sierra
#

It happened to me twice

winter gale
#

Only issue is gear dropping on low rate and I am almost full Crit Versa

vocal sierra
#

sitting now on 2 items who arent optimal

topaz saffron
#

I just want some synergy with SnD, increase it via finishers?

winter gale
#

Luckily I did some Outlaw and on mythic reclears I gathered some ok pieces

vocal sierra
#

Yeah @winter gale Castle is no good for Assa

stoic needle
#

In the grand scheme of things having 1 item with suboptimal stats literally doesn't matter

vocal sierra
#

Maybe next Endcontent

winter gale
#

For sub u mean?

vocal sierra
#

For Assa

stoic needle
#

You have far more important things to worry about than one item having a suboptimal stat

winter gale
#

Sub is crit/versa

vocal sierra
#

Yeah

winter gale
#

Assa is haste/any rest

#

And castle is low on Crit/Versa

stoic needle
#

All secondaries add damage, just because you have a stat that adds slightly less damage than another doesn't mean you can't perform well

vocal sierra
#

It's possible to gear up from Castle/M+

stoic needle
#

One piece of gear isn't holding you back

winter gale
#

No ring, cloak etc

toxic tusk
#

I’m doing alright in castle on normal and heroic I think.

winter gale
#

There are plenty more items in dungs/raid for assa than sub

stoic needle
#

Let's be real, no loot drops from either kekw

#

You get pvp gear and vault gear no matter what spec you are

vocal sierra
#

😄

#

ok! clap 😄

stoic needle
#

I'm gonna hit 1600 this weekend and get more gear than I have gotten from every week of raiding so far

vocal sierra
#

Assa viable for M+ or Outlaw still 1?

hollow escarp
#

outlaw still better

#

but you can do keys with assa 🙂

dense narwhal
#

MA is pretty sweet for all 3 specs in M+ right?

hollow escarp
#

only in necrotic wake and in low keys

dense narwhal
#

Low keys. Good point

iron orchid
#

For sin Zoldyck is much better once you get to higher keys

#

In NW you could play with MA

dense narwhal
#

I got Zoldyck first

hollow escarp
dense narwhal
#

But I was playing more sub recently just to get comfortable with it

#

and did some outlaw this morning too

hollow escarp
#

KSM with assa before it was cool

#

I know the 2nd guy

#

from my realm happyge

iron orchid
#

Still have to peen down the rankings ehe

dense narwhal
#

I wonder what's the most complementary spec to pair with sin... Is sin's biggest strength spread cleave still?

hollow escarp
#

I don't wanna show my sin rio score PepeLaugh

iron orchid
dense narwhal
#

How does it's ST stack up these days?

hollow escarp
#

@iron orchid do you have a premade or just pugged?

#

I just realized how stupid my question is

dense narwhal
#

I used to like it when sub was the funnel spec, sin was ST/spread cleave and combat/outlaw was aoe

iron orchid
iron orchid
hollow escarp
#

most of my keys with guildies were depletes PepegaHands

iron orchid
#

two teams fighting top rankings on the server in my guild so I join them when there is someone missing

hollow escarp
#

is Hyjal alliance heavy?

iron orchid
#

Nah

#

Horde Hyjal is a bit tougher

iron orchid
hollow escarp
dense narwhal
#

So sub started as the favorite, but now it's all about outlaw for throughput currently

dense narwhal
#

So having sub as an offspec only makes sense if I can't find a good outlaw weapon

iron orchid
#

Easy cleave, strong ST

brittle pawn
#

outlaw just has too many buttons and is too wackamole for me

hollow escarp
#

it's easy to play all 3 specs tbf

brittle pawn
#

i like the predictability of sub/sin

hollow escarp
#

you only need 2 daggers and 1 sword

dense narwhal
#

Which I have atm

hollow escarp
#

223 sword, 220 and 207 daggers YEP

toxic tusk
#

Now I know you’re lying.

#

Weapons don’t drop.

dense narwhal
#

I loved out dpsing outlaw rogues as sin in m+ last xpac

iron orchid
#

210/207 daggers

toxic tusk
#

Tell me I’m amazing if I’m wrong, but no weapons drop in LFR do they?

hollow escarp
#

this week

#

got the 220 dagger the week before

#

you just need to click the Great Vault

brittle pawn
#

why wouldnt weapons drop in lfr >.>

toxic tusk
#

I just didn’t remember seeing any in the loot list.

hollow escarp
#

there aren't

brittle pawn
#

theyre tokens

hollow escarp
#

those are tokens

toxic tusk
#

Oh right.

#

Well.

#

It’s early. And a weekend.

#

I forgot those tokens exist.

dense narwhal
#

egads...

#

Maybe I'll go sin/out-lawl

hollow escarp
#

there are still some good fights for sub

dense narwhal
#

I really wanna play all 3 lol

#

I guess I'll be able to eventually

#

My main is ele/resto this xpac, because of the melee struggles in CN

#

but I've mained sin since Wrath

raven egret
#

melee struggle is the real test of loyalty

#

traitor playing range spec

hollow escarp
#

it's not that bad to maintain alts

raven egret
#

yea its really not

#

you barely have to play

hollow escarp
#

it might be harder to get to hc gear level first week you dinged

#

but the loot progression is not that bad

#

even solo

raven egret
#

yea

#

and for maintaining after

hollow escarp
#

and starting with next week you can pretty much get 200+ ilvl from WQ

raven egret
#

you just go 1-4 14s a week for chest

#

and do your weeklies

#

literally no playtime to maintain

hollow escarp
#

I haven't timed a 14 on my main yet depressedchamp

winter gale
#

Do we use Ambush only when we have that proc? Not when in stealth etc?

#

Asking purely for the sake of bind 😄

hollow escarp
#

only with blindside proc

winter gale
#

Ok, ty

hollow escarp
#

I also moved ambush from the mutilate keybind PepeLaugh

#

moved it to the "execute" button I use for most specs

winter gale
#

Same,y 😄

north pewter
warm plover
#

I am redoing my WA for assas atm cause the buff, whats the pandemic timer on garrote and rupture?

north pewter
#

All the rogue specs are viable to the average player. Dont not have fun because you're convinced you're about to join an esports team. Play what you like.

hollow escarp
#

garrote 6 and rupture 8 iirc

obsidian willow
#

How do you dps on sire with sin? On p1 do you just fan of knives and funnel everything to sire? Then p2, multi dot and go back to sire?

north pewter
#

I swap to crimson tempest and pretend it makes a difference

warm plover
warm plover
obsidian willow
#

Lmao

hollow escarp
#

sorry

north pewter
#

No ST spec is going to perform amazing. The echoes should die fast if your guild is doing mechanics so for that part im basically a useless little baby.

warm plover
north pewter
#

Not dying should be your focus in phase 1. Smack denathrius. Do mechanics. Win.

#

And cry to yourself that you parsed on every other boss

#

Against, I think last week it was like 1700 other ass rogues on my server 😂😂

hollow escarp
#

I doubt

north pewter
#

There's def not many.

proper meteor
#

mb globaly

late birch
#

Assa any viable now with bugg anyone know :D?

raven egret
#

what bug

late birch
#

or same shit different day?

#

buff

raven egret
#

oh

#

its good

#

equal with sub

#

better in execute

late birch
#

if i switch now i wont regretti?

raven egret
#

probably not

#

sub would be 1% better sometimes

#

and ofc for fights like kaelthas

#

but our execute is so valuable on fights like sire

#

we are even better than outlaw on sire

halcyon grail
#

Sludge needs to be part of this conversation. His 30% health always lines up with a pillar.

#

And it's GO TIIIIME~

raven egret
#

we probably cant contest subs burst cds on sludge

#

but yea its not bad

halcyon grail
#

Depending onna groups DPS sub only gets 1.5 uses out of shadowblades.

raven egret
#

on mythic youd always get 3 uses

halcyon grail
#

Sin can hit 2 pillars and opener with vendetta

raven egret
#

or 2

#

sorry

brittle pawn
#

you get 3 with stacatto

halcyon grail
#

Mythic vendetta will prob be up for everybpillar

raven egret
#

yea

#

3 with stiletto

dense narwhal
halcyon grail
#

MMM true.

raven egret
#

its just subs burst is way stronger

#

sin does consistant

hollow escarp
#

crimson temptest is on T PepegaHands

#

so is Blade Rush and Black Powder

dense narwhal
#

Alt+1 or Alt+` are usually my aoe spenders/builders

#

So just a casual ring finger move going from FoK to CT

#

Or Shuriken to Smoke Bomb

#

Outlaw is just blade flurry Alt 1 lol

stoic needle
#

Don't use crimson tempest on sire btw

dense narwhal
#

Oh no way

brittle pawn
#

do i spend 60k to buy r3 zoldyck next week or wait another week to go straight to r4 pepehands

dense narwhal
#

Only use CT if your guild can't get to p2 lol

dense narwhal
stoic needle
#

Imagine not having rank 4 z omegalul ldyck already

spice spire
#

Imagine not having r4 Zoldyck’s for over a month now kekw

dense narwhal
#

I love my ride or die 'sin fam

brittle pawn
#

i made akaari asap because i was too impatient to wait for finality f

#

scrapper plz

#

will sin get my raid spot back??

hollow escarp
#

gonna make some gold this week crafting umbrahide pants

brittle pawn
stoic needle
#

I wish I was on a server small enough to actually make money with legendary crafting

paper stratus
#

If you don’t have a raid spot that’s on you not your spec

toxic tusk
#

Well, it could be because of the guild too.

#

Let’s not discount some guilds aren’t great

unkempt creek
#

I perform fine lol. Guild just prefers to bring FOTM

paper stratus
#

There’s a lot of choices

hollow escarp
#

I feel bad for you

unkempt creek
#

Its all good i get in for farm. Anyway, looking forward to check out sin this expo

#

Heya humans, does garrote snapshot the crit lego?

hollow escarp
#

no

#

buff falls off after the 4 sec is over

polar apex
#

hmm okay how do you open in M+ then?

hollow escarp
#

triple garrote

polar apex
#

ah okay same as usual

#

hollow escarp
#

I made the thing for pvp but my only other lego is the envenom one 🙂 rerolled two weeks ago

I checked pins but

#

what if Outlaw beats my Sub in single target

#

PepeHands

brittle pawn
#

get more gud

manic harness
#

Guess I need to work on some Assassination gear then

#

This is really, really interesting

#

god damnit rogue don't do this to me

#

I literally told myself yesterday I was gonna stop Mythic raiding this tier since I can't find a guild

#

since no one wants a Rogue

One more round of buffs and we are good

grim canopy
#

15% more

#

I will stick with sub for now , if the next set of buffs happen then maybe it will be worth rerolling to assa

#

Why are sims using zoldyck? Isn't dashing better for st ?

grim canopy

i wonder with 5% if Sin will now be at least good ok M+

dang

azure carbon
#

Per hero damage, Outlaw in DS does 8.7k DPS, sub 7.8k, and Sin 6.8k. Even with the extra 3.5%, thats only like 7.1k.

#

Or

frail fossil
azure carbon
#

like 81% of Outlaw's dmg.

frail fossil
#

hero damage monkaS

azure carbon
frail fossil
#

like sin is better than sub on 4 targets for sure

azure carbon
#

100%.

frail fossil
#

it's same(ish) on st

coarse coral
#

Does zoldyck increase envenom damage ?

frail fossil
#

sin is on par with sub in m+ with that

#

imo

#

which is not very good

#

but still a thing

#

i'd say sin in m+ is harder than sub in m+ tho

#

and more effort

unreal parcel
#

I don't understand. I see in the pins dashing is better but theres a lot of talk for Zoldyck.

frail fossil
unreal parcel
#

Thank you my guys

storm forum
#

I did a couple M+ this week as sin and it feels fun, but it's definitely worse and definitely more work. Damage-wise, idk if I'm just out of practice or something, but I did ~5-10% less damage than sub. Utility-wise, Garrote silence (even with iron wire) is definitely worse than losing infinite cheap shots(sub) or gouge+CDR(outlaw).

frail fossil
#

infinite cheap shots is overrated NGL

#

like i dont want to see no sub stun 5 times in their shadow dance

azure carbon
#

Yeah, but one in a dance window is fine. And better than garrote silence.

frail fossil
#

gouge is fine, but also world first 23 outlaw did cast it like, 3 times

storm forum
#

I mean you don't want to use it, but sometimes the tank needs something to help drop grievous and I found that it was great for spiteful

dark hollow
#

i dunno that the garrote v gouge v sd-cs utility is as deal breaker as everyone pumps it tbh

frail fossil
#

i dont think it matters as much as people think lol

azure carbon
#

Basically "infinite Cheapshot" is just Gouge with more leg work and a shared DR.

#

I think gouge is better in practice, tbh.

frail fossil
#

and also

#

u loose dmg

#

while gouge is a dps increase

#

so

storm forum
#

I mean you can't gouge 4 things

frail fossil
#

yeah but also

#

just take a rsham LMFAO

storm forum
#

it is just worse than like shadowfury or leg sweep though

#

yeah or cap

#

but sometimes your comp sucks okay

frail fossil
#

there's 0 situation almost where i felt like i need more than kidney, gouge and blind

#

like

#

if u use them correctly

azure carbon
#

And even if you do, you Mage / Hunter / WW have better tools for that scenario that hurt comp DPS less.

frail fossil
#

and when i play sub i almost never feel the need where i need to fucking stun 5 things

#

dont forget, the biggest utility is unironically damage

#

shit dies quicker > tank take less dmg, heal use less mana

#

like a sub bursting sod+dance is prolly more useful to the grp than 3 cheap shots

azure carbon
#

TBH, unless I'm running MA for NW cheese, i usually cheap out of vanish. Less DPS loss, imo.

frail fossil
#

like people hugely overated "utility" imo

#

specially in term of rogues

#

like naguura during the mdi pogging at rogue getting a st soothe with 24sec cd lmfao

#

"WOW ROGUE GOT SO MUCH UTILITY" like aint nobody taking rogues for shiv

azure carbon
#

When every team already has a Hunter...

frail fossil
#

yeah like

#

just do dmg

#

unironically

azure carbon
#

I think Shiv soothe is good though.

frail fossil
#

it is

#

it's a nice plus

#

but not. something gamebreaking or anything

azure carbon
#

I think a lot of people think of rogue utility like you can still save 5 minutes of trash you dont need for %, when straight up you can't really skip trash like that in SL.

frail fossil
#

but like, i feel like a lot of rogues in m+ feel like people bring rogue for utility and their dmg do not matter

#

and that's just straight up not true

#

like in 8.3 i've seen so much ppl say "ppl bring rogue for utility not dmg haha"

grim canopy
#

lol

frail fossil
#

that's just flat out wrong

azure carbon
#

I do think people bring rogues for utility over damage. I dont think we really have a lot of it though, realistically. Can't compete with AMZ or RoP in the slightest.

frail fossil
#

yeah but like outlaw in bfa was so strong because it's utility weaved so well into dps

azure carbon
#

I'm personally OK with that being the perception, tbh.

frail fossil
#

like outlaw had survivability, had a stun which was part of their dps rotation, which also gave a 10% dmg increase on the target, with a relatively low cd, didn't need to be played around like a fire mage to do dmg, was pretty much self sufficient

#

like it's just that the outlaw toolkit fit so well m+

#

utility is a part of why ppl like it, but like people dont take outlaw for utility and doesn't care abt dmg

#

also something important, outlaw was very much not hurt by the fact they had to stack vers

#

with corruptions

#

anyway, sin in m+ will prolly be fine i think, prolly at sub level

#

but also prolly takes more effort

heavy ocean
#

whats the legendary to use atm?

frail fossil
#

zoldyck

manic harness
#

given that sin takes almost zero effort to begin with

#

that's not saying much

azure carbon
#

Idk, all DoT specs are kinda troll in dungeons, tbh. Probably feels decent to good in high keys where stuff stays alive super long, but even then its kinda bad because unlike say Shadow Priest or Aff the multi-dot damage isn't really there.

onyx hemlock
#

Yeah, low keys plus dot specs are a recipe for low performance

#

Sin still fine, but targets have to live

frail fossil
frail fossil
onyx hemlock
#

For sure, even at 10 prideful makes anything feel good, just for a lil bit :)

frail fossil
#

i think vanishing and seeing all ur dot crit with MA is very funny xd

onyx hemlock
#

Havent finished my mage yet, but i have a dream of arcane maldraxxus with full cd's right after prideful on exactly 3 mobs - the dream

frail fossil
#

is NF bis for arcane ?

onyx hemlock
#

Its not about whats bis, its about the dream

stoic needle
#

As someone who's been doing keys as sin for the past month or two, it's been better than sub for a long time now

#

It does more aoe damage than sub, has only slightly less cc

#

Ppl talk about how sub is good for prio damage on prideful but that's kind of a meme

winter gale
#

Whats propper usage of shiv?

#

in rot

stoic needle
#

For prio damage, on cooldown

#

Only save it if you need to soothe something

#

As sin you come out the gate with a 3 second silence on the 3 most dangerous caster enemies in a pack. When your sepsis procs, you get a other 3 second silence or free cheap shot. Then you get to vanish and do it again. That combined with kick and kidney I have never felt the lack of cc unless my group mates don't have any whatsoever

#

If you have to burn multiple gcds in dance cheap shotting, you have larger problems

azure carbon
#

I dont think Sin does more AoE damage than Sub. More cleave damage, sure.

stoic needle
#

Granted it's not as good as gouge, but it's decent

azure carbon
#

Depends on your tank / healer and how much you pull.

stoic needle
#

It does though

#

Like it literally does

prisma monolithBOT
stoic needle
#

!fuu

#

Look at the aoe numbers

#

It's gonna be even better once we get first strike and can get more CP in aoe

#

Black powder just isn't that good unfortunately

azure carbon
#

The sim links died.

#

What is the sim actually simulating?

stoic needle
#

Look at the numbers on the spreadsheet

azure carbon
#

Right, but is it like 5 targets that all stay alive for 5 minutes?

stoic needle
#

5 target aoe damage with different legendaries in good gear setups

azure carbon
#

Because thats not a realistic scenario in a dungeon.

stoic needle
#

I dunno exactly, but the higher keys you get into the more realistic that scenario becomes

#

CT does comparable damage to black powder, just needs a second to ramp up. Sin ruptures do more damage, and there's also garottes

azure carbon
#

I also think that given how Sub has a target cap of 8, simming at 5 is a touch misleading.

stoic needle
#

Sub has burst aoe but as it becomes more sustained sin wins out

azure carbon
#

But you could be right, it could actually do more damage.

stoic needle
#

Well crimson tempest also has a target cap of 8

#

Honestly going up to 8 would probably shift things even more in favor of sin because that's more targets to rupture

short hamlet
#

it might be time to come to the dark side bois

stoic needle
#

Sub doesn't really have the luxury of multidotting things with rupture in aoe

frail fossil
snow arch
#

Having to pick CT as a talent is not cool

frail fossil
#

and maybe it has slitghly less dmg on aoe, but it just balances out with sin having better cleave

frail fossil
stoic needle
#

It should be baseline

#

Fam, imagine if we had CT AND PB

timber pawn
#

Would be too powerful if it was baseline

frail fossil
#

bro if i counted the number of sin talent that should be baseline

stoic needle
#

Don't think so

timber pawn
#

Then you'd be getting Vial and CT on top

stoic needle
#

Rogue would need a lot more than ct baseline to be OP

#

Why is everyone afraid of rogue being good

timber pawn
#

In AOE situations it'd be broken

stoic needle
#

give us the sauce! Let us be good!

frail fossil
#

BROO CRAZYYY

timber pawn
#

I'd love Rogue to be good

frail fossil
#

CT BRO

#

INSAAAAANE

stoic needle
#

Even with CT we'd still be behind boomkin and fire mage

timber pawn
#

but this is apparently our tier to be shit

snow arch
#

Broken? There are so many better aoe specs.

timber pawn
#

everyone gets a tier

#

this is ours

frail fossil
#

fire mage and hunter are thing but u think ct being baseline is op

timber pawn
#

If we were getting FOK, Poison, CT, And Vial all at once

#

our AOE would trump all

frail fossil
#

no

stoic needle
#

No it wouldn't lol

frail fossil
#

that is just

royal lantern
#

what do you smoke

timber pawn
#

especially sustained AoE

royal lantern
#

lmao

frail fossil
#

not going to happen

royal lantern
#

LMAO

frail fossil
#

INSANE DMG

royal lantern
#

sin and aoe king

frail fossil
#

CRAAAAZY

royal lantern
#

cus of ct

#

sure buddy lol

frail fossil
#

CT + POISON BOMB IS JUST OP

#

LIKE IT JUST IS

stoic needle
#

Like I'm happy plugging along doing 6k sustained on most pulls

#

The fire mage is doing fucking

#

15k

#

17k

#

Every pull because combustion is up every pull

frail fossil
#

wild spirit is a thing but ct and poison bomb is where i draw the line

stoic needle
#

Anyway I think we should get CT baseline because then we can have a niche of having small scale uncapped aoe

#

If dks get to have uncapped aoe we should too

frail fossil
#

isn't CT capped ?

#

at 8

stoic needle
#

Yeah but PB isn't

#

Get some good LOS pulls or dk grip going to stack things up and let it rip

royal lantern
#

@stoic needle btw wanna know the good part about the entire SUB PRIORIRTY DMG FOR PRIDEFULL!!!! thing?

#

sub does high priority dmg when you blow stuff out

#

and gues what, blowing stuff out 20sec before you pull a boss is not a good idea

#

meanwhile adrenaline rush is up every 1min anyway

frail fossil
#

yeah like

#

AR is enough

stoic needle
#

I vendetta prideful sometimes if we're not using it for a boss

royal lantern
#

AR+pot with 1oil is enough for 5k+ dps for the pirdefull add

stoic needle
#

Cuz vendetta is single target buff anyway

frail fossil
#

u AR, if u cant fire just combust

#

like literally, fire have the best pride cd

stoic needle
#

But a lot of times I don't blow CdS on prideful at all and it doesn't matter

#

When have u ever wiped to prideful

frail fossil
#

if a pride is. truly scuffed just ask ur mage to combust it

stoic needle
#

One time we literally fought prideful and mordretha at the same time

#

Now THAT was some shit lmao

frail fossil
#

but ar cd is so short, u have have it for pride, and the pakc after

stoic needle
#

We missed count by 1% because the tank forgot to pull a ghost

frail fossil
#

the sub for pride is a meme

stoic needle
#

So he controls undeads it and we take the teleporter up but somebody pulled mordretha before we could kill the ghost so we had to fight both at the same time omegalul

frail fossil
#

LOOOOOL

stoic needle
#

We wiped with the pride at 3%. We killed it and still timed the key

#

I think now that I'm ilvl 210 people might actually let me in a 15 feelscryman been stuck doing 12s and 10s for a bit now

#

But this is a shit week for keys in general

placid cobalt
#

sub is not that good in keys, the ST gain over outlaw is not nearly enough to justify the inexistent cleave. There isnt much else to say about it

#

busted in beta, gutted on retail, will not see much serious play, and niether will assa sadly

stoic needle
#

@marble hemlock are you going to try sin in keys after this next buff?

azure carbon
#

How do sims handle execute damage? Is it just not included or is Zoldyck giving a flat 9% damage buff in sims?

dense narwhal
#

Are we all #sepsisgang?

stoic needle
jaunty arrow
placid cobalt
#

problem is consistency

#

good on 1 target

#

good on 5+

#

trash in between u feel me

#

so 2 mobs, 3 mobs, 4 mobs, not that good

stoic needle
#

Which is the majority of m+

placid cobalt
#

im curious to try assa after buff though

dense narwhal
#

Sin is great 2-4 targets

swift rapids
#

Outlaws too good in keys

placid cobalt
#

i memed a +18 for fun a couple weeks back and closed it around 6k overall, with this nerf it might actually be okay

stoic needle
#

I don't think sin will unseat outlaw as the best spec for keys but I think it's even more than viable now

placid cobalt
#

*buff

dense narwhal
#

Sin is pretty versatile overall I feel

stoic needle
#

The thing about sin is that it doesn't need cooldowns to do its near maximum damage

#

It's cd is basically only for single target

placid cobalt
#

i think what blizzard does not realize is that sin requires different weps/leggos etc. compared to outlaw

#

at high levels, people will not switch if it's not worth it

#

if you buff it 3 times only to be slightly worse than sub, people will not play it imo

stoic needle
#

I'm praying for a talent rework in 9.1

dense narwhal
#

I'm not resistant to change, but assassination is just so ingrained me after all these years

stoic needle
#

Maybe they will pay attention to it not really being brought in the next MDI even after all of the buffs

dense narwhal
#

It's like my native language

placid cobalt
#

tbh what i hate is raiding as outlaw

#

so inconsistent

#

if sin was within 100 dps sim, id gladly take it so that every pull i can do the exact same dmg give or take bar crits

jaunty arrow
placid cobalt
#

but it kills me when i roll 5 buffs on one pull, and buried treasure next

#

@jaunty arrow tbh i feel none of the rogue spec are really performing that well damage wise, outlaw included. Im rolling a mage for fun and my 214 mage with random trinkets and random stats does the same overall as my 224 rogue with 5 sockets

swift rapids
#

Outlaw does feel pretty shit in mythic tbh

stoic needle
#

But our utility pepeclown

placid cobalt
#

i feel like sin could be fun to play in specific keys like ardenweald area of DOS

#

for example

#

cos u can crimson tons of mobs

#

compared to having 20 mobs in front of you but damaging 5 with outlaw

stoic needle
#

It's good in mists too

placid cobalt
#

all the dungeons where u get consistently 7-8 mobs i think sin can be somewhat competitive now

stoic needle
#

I haven't had any trouble in any dungeon except plaguefall but that dungeon just sucks shit no matter what class you are

placid cobalt
#

the bottom line remains the same tho, if you wanna do big dmg, ure better off rerolling monk rather than agonizing over which rogue spec to play

jaunty arrow
stoic needle
#

Yeah but that's not why I'm here. I'm here because I like playing sin

placid cobalt
#

@stoic needle if you like sin play sin, unless you are pushing 19-20+ keys it doesnt really matter what spec you play

#

i wish on top of this 5% they added something more to sin, unless it's actually better than sub/outlaw no actual need to reroll to it and commit resources, other than ease of play really

stoic needle
#

Just wait for 9.1 man

#

I have a good feeling

jaunty arrow
#

Its not super good but playable

stoic needle
#

Keep some soul ash saved up

placid cobalt
#

i mean, i easily timed an 18 as sin with 4 mins or so left on itmer

#

with gear u can play anything in 18's

stoic needle
#

What ilvl are you telarian?

placid cobalt
#

as long as u got mage/ww/hunt/boomie with u XD

#

224 as outlaw 221 as sin

stoic needle
#

Nice.

strange python
#

is the sim spreadsheet up to date?

placid cobalt
#

the problem is, none of the rogue specs are that good going higher tho

strange python
#

with sin buffs

winter gale
#

When to use Covenant ability with MA talent?

stoic needle
#

Yeah that's true

#

No they aren't updated yet

placid cobalt
#

like u see top rogues playing 21-22-23 keys and timing them simply because they play with insane players on busted classes, rogue on it's own doesnt have much potential to carry dmg in high keys, even as outlaw

stoic needle
rugged dragon
#

The only reason outlaw was used in MDI too was only because they could abuse MA with the things in NW

winter gale
#

Ok, ty for responding entire day 😄

rugged dragon
#

and the CC

jaunty arrow
#

Rogue do control than dmg

placid cobalt
#

@jaunty arrow yeah but this conception of rogue there to do cc is already vanishing after less than 3 months in the expansion. These dungeons, do not require much cc at all compared to bfa, hence a rogue is not required at all

rugged dragon
#

Exactly

placid cobalt
#

moving forward, unless tuning changes happen numerically, you will see less and less rogues as top teams realize that they can just bring a monk that does 2k+ extra overall damage and still is able to interrupt/paralyze/sweep/ring

jaunty arrow
#

True

rugged dragon
#

Litteraly, why take a rogue when there's WW monk.

placid cobalt
#

we are no longer in the bfa meta where every pack you need sap blind gauge cheap and kidney (think swarmers packs in underrot)

jaunty arrow
#

Its same with dk

placid cobalt
#

there is nothing like that here

stoic needle
#

I hope that blizzard is paying attention to MDI group compositions and seeing where changes need to be made

grizzled ruin
#

theres 0 reason to take a rogue-just try pug 14-15 and u ll end 1 hour in que getting declined

placid cobalt
#

i mean tbh

#

the actual issue is that they made even shroud useless

#

in most dungeons

rugged dragon
#

Like, im litteraly being asked to log my 207 hpally to heal a +15 rather than my friends asking me to join on my 220 outlaw rogue.

placid cobalt
#

like half our toolkit is negated

rugged dragon
#

Thats.. just straight up sad.

grizzled ruin
#

we dont provide anything no raid buff no raid cd

#

and since our dps is not top

#

we have no spot

placid cobalt
#

mark my words, rog will see less and less play

#

lots of people also play at high level cos they got top geared rogues or followings or are streamers and they make a living playing a certain class

jaunty arrow
grizzled ruin
#

unless our dps is undisputed top theres no reason to bring us

placid cobalt
#

at the moment if you have a magic device that allows you to have any characters in the game maxed out insta, nobody will take rog

rugged dragon
#

atleast, thats what people will whine about.

grizzled ruin
#

or if we get a raid cd thats needed like how smoke bomb used to give 10% dmg reduction

rugged dragon
#

Yeah, that would be cool.

#

or like, if you feint. you feint for the whole party.

#

smthing like that.

jaunty arrow
placid cobalt
#

what needs to happen is one of either 2 things: reword rogue to have actual impactful cooldowns, or nerf hard the classes that do like mage ww boomie hunter

#

all these classes have 1 thing in common, they press a button and for 10-20-30 seconds they are god on earth destroying everything

#

pair that with prideful, and it's clear why the meta favors these compositions

rugged dragon
#

Right now its all about burst meta.

placid cobalt
#

rogue has nothing like that, hence the damage suffers

grizzled ruin
#

its not only the dmg-take moonking for example

#

dispell enrage dispell treants innervate root mass root

#

off heal

placid cobalt
#

on my mage i can easily do 40k dps on an 8 mob pack after a prideful, with rogue i need to pray for good rolls to do 12-13k, it's just the way it is

grizzled ruin
#

i mean they are overloaded-even if they did 10% dmg less they would still be far better

ornate dawn
#

MFW I read through all this FeelsWeird

stoic needle
#

I would rather them buff our damage to match boomie and fire mage and ww

placid cobalt
#

idk what will happen, i just dont think the issue with rogue is necessarily about tuning as much as it is about the lack of proper damage windows as a class, the constant damage profile we got now just doesnt really cut it. Unless they rework the actual specs, it will be like this the whole expansion, i cant really see them buffing anything as far as outlaw is concerned

stoic needle
#

Let us pump Sinscheme

placid cobalt
#

they cannot buff our damage, because our damage is constant you see

#

they would have to rework adrenaline rush into an actually strong cooldown, and lower our damage outside of it

#

that way u can adrenaline after pride and do big dmg

#

but like this, there is no way

#

if they just buff dmg suddenly we become top parsing spec in raid for no reason

stoic needle
#

I mean boomkin and ww and fire damage is kinda constant too

halcyon raptor
#

Assass making a come back yet? (this is my obligatory 2 week check up, not too current with status of rogues)

stoic needle
placid cobalt
#

boomie does nothing outside of incarn/convoke, neither does mage tbh

halcyon raptor
#

word up

placid cobalt
#

thats why the busted, cos every 3 mins they press one button that destroys everything thats in front of them

#

thats what we need in this meta

stoic needle
#

Mage gets to have combust up every pack

placid cobalt
#

yy that too

#

but it will get nerfed imo

grizzled ruin
#

assasin will be viable but at this point into the expansion u ll need diff gear and leggos and everything just to do about the same dmg as u do now on the othert 2 specs

#

so does it rly worth the effort?for me it doesnt but who knows

placid cobalt
#

assa needs more to be good imo

#

atm it's just about rerolling to do same dmg or slightly worse

#

makes no sense

stoic needle
#

To be fair you only need a different legendary because outlaw gear does fine as sin

placid cobalt
#

imagine 5k dust for leggos, different stats, different weapons

stoic needle
#

The execute niche is very powerful for progression

tired adder
placid cobalt
#

to do same dmg

grizzled ruin
#

yea but i am sub so i need haste gear

stoic needle
#

But I agree that it does need more

placid cobalt
#

if they gave it say an additional 5%, and now you have sin topping out/sub

#

then sure everyone will play it

#

but right now

stoic needle
#

I mean it kinda already does

placid cobalt
#

meh

azure carbon
#

Does Outlaw gear do fine for Sin though? Idk, seems like Sin wants haste way more, and doesn't value Vers near as high.

stoic needle
#

With the mechanics in the equation and the execute

placid cobalt
#

my sin goes haste/crit

#

on sims, idk about you guys

stoic needle
#

Vers and haste are the 2 best stats for single target

placid cobalt
#

on sim versa is last for me idk

stoic needle
#

You do need some crit for aoe but the natural amount you get with higher ilvl is usually enough. Depends on which kind of content you are doing

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

stoic needle
#

Like would you do better with a haste crit focused set? Sure but your haste vers gear is more than fine to do well as sin

empty cradle
#

i simmed with my sub gear

#

and sins still at like 5.1k

#

with like 7% haste

stoic needle
#

I mean yes you need haste for sin

azure carbon
#

Also most OL's aren't stacking haste, crit is similiar value for ST and is much better for AoE than haste.

#

So

stoic needle
#

And the other part of the equation is: who is actually getting their sub sim numbers in practice?

#

Almost no one

azure carbon
#

Haste is in practice 3rd for OL.

empty cradle
#

im just sayin that realistically your gear isn't that non transferrable

stoic needle
#

It's much easier to reach you sim dps as sin than it is as sub

azure carbon
#

On a target dummy I hit within 5% of my Sub sim number almost every time.

stoic needle
#

On a target dummy

#

I'm talking about in a key or on a log

#

I can tell you that I've been matching or beating sub rogues with the same ilvl as me in heroic pugs for weeks now

#

Nathria is just not a good raid for sub compared to sin

#

People hyperfocus on sim numbers too much when they never get close to them in practice when it matters

azure carbon
#

Yeah, nathria is a trash raid for Sub.

#

Only fight that is particularly good for Sub imo is Sludge, and even then its outclassed.

short hamlet
stoic needle
#

I really think they need to buff sub's single target

#

It's not fair that we are getting buffs but sub isn't

#

I don't like that sin is so close to sub now, it's not a good thing for the class as a whole

lean geyser
#

So with the new buffs coming Tuesday will this help assassination now?

fleet whale
#

sub is in an odd spot because of it's damage profile

#

it actually sims really high atm

empty cradle
#

everything has to go perfectly for sub though

azure carbon
#

Part of sub simming high is Rogue just has better theory crafters than other specs.

strange python
#

Yeah, sub doesn’t need a single target buff - it needs cleave damage

fleet whale
#

the spec honestly isn't built very well for progression raiding

#

no cleave

#

bad aoe

#

uptime reliant

stoic needle
#

I don't think that sub should be good at everything

azure carbon
#

Up until like 3 weeks ago Affliction locks literally did more sim damage on 1 target then 2 targets. LOL.

empty cradle
#

i kinda wanna try sin next week

stoic needle
#

Giving it a cleave buff means there's no reason to play other specs

strange python
#

It has almost no gain on 3 targets

versed thicket
#

How is sin vs outlaw in raid guys?

empty cradle
#

i got asked to swap to my mage or monk cuz subs not the greatest in later fights

fleet whale
#

yeah that's why its in an odd spot

stoic needle
#

That's fine, but it should be an omega giga pumper on single target to compensate

#

Un-nerf akaaris imo

fleet whale
#

sin should be really good for sire after this buff

lean geyser
#

Will sin be better now with this buff next week?

ornate dawn
#

i mean its a buff it cant be worse eh

empty cradle
#

pins show its close

stoic needle
versed thicket
#

Ok ry

empty cradle
#

6700 vs 6550

#

but thats 6700 with akari which most ppl dont use'

#

so its probably closer than that

azure carbon
#

Blizzard also scared to make Sub too good in PvE because they are terrified of them in PvP. Although, they were fine with Arms, being the best DPS class in PvP, getting an aura buff.

stoic needle
#

The PvP argument is just not valid

empty cradle
#

arms isnt the best pvp dps class

fleet whale
#

they can tune pve separate from pvp

empty cradle
#

theyre the best at stopping everything

short hamlet
stoic needle
#

Because you can balance pvp separately from pve

empty cradle
#

since they have like 40 different answers

fleet whale
#

though it appears for this sin buff

#

it's a buff in both pvp and pve

stoic needle
#

Sin is pretty meh in pvp so I'm fine with that

short hamlet
#

all they'd have to do is give (just wildly making up numbers here) +20% damage in dance in pve, -20% damage in dance in pvp

#

so pvp stays the same

#

pve buff

#

they did it with arms like 3 weeks ago

stoic needle
#

Exactly

azure carbon
#

I dont disagree.

#

Just... Blizzard never really buffs sub and cites that as why.

stoic needle
#

Like I said, un-nerf akaaris

azure carbon
#

And any time Sub is slightly strong in PvP they are like isnta nerfed.

stoic needle
#

100% full combo points again

versed thicket
#

There is no comparation between outlaw and sin in raid checking pins

stoic needle
#

I genuinely think there's someone on the balance team who just hates rogues

short hamlet
#

sub is also in a weird spot because it's super unforgiving -- untill you learn to time your dance rotations right with mechanics and whatnot you can really hard gimp your self

nocturne orchid
#

are we back?

short hamlet
#

compared to other underperforming melee specs

lean geyser
#

Good question is sin back

short hamlet
#

pins

stoic needle
versed thicket
#

Outlaw vs sin is non pinned

stoic needle
#

There's literally a whole sentence about it

#

In the pins

#

You can also just

lean geyser
#

So from the pins yes

nocturne orchid
#

FUCK YEAH

stoic needle
#

Sim it

nocturne orchid
#

welp now i'll have to gear up for sin now

versed thicket
#

Asking for someone who already simmed it

#

XD

stoic needle
#

It's been less than 24 hours since the buff was announced

#

Sim it yourself

void pecan
#

Gotta have daggers to play sin :(

versed thicket
#

Im not at home otl

#

Is dual dagger spec?

jaunty arrow
short hamlet
#

i will say

#

i tried sin today

#

after playing it a small amount in bfa/legion

#

it feels really gutted

versed thicket
#

So still shit compared to outlaw?

stoic needle
#

3% less is not what I would call shit

azure carbon
#

Idk that I'd say its shit. I think its likely viable.

short hamlet
#

fixed for you

versed thicket
#

So after 5% buff sin will reach outlaw dps in m+?

ornate dawn
#

Viable in the mid-shit tier tho

jaunty arrow
#

Do u read pin?

versed thicket
#

Yes still dont find the comparation between ol and sin

jaunty arrow
#

U can sim it for yourself

versed thicket
#

How can i do it adding 5%?

brittle pawn
#

A fucking calculator

azure carbon
#

3.5%, to be more accurate.

Raidbots Nightly now includes the Assassination hotfix based on assumed values prior to Tuesday. So sims should now reflect the expected performance after the hotfix.

versed thicket
#

Ok ty raizen

azure carbon
#

Does it? My Raidbots says its running the hotfix from 2021-01-20.

#

Should be 3.5% low, as buffs were announced the 29th.

jaunty arrow
stoic needle
#

I think that might be the last 5%

#

But you can calculate it easy, just subtract melee and trinket and other non-ability damage

#

And add 5%

jaunty arrow
#

Its w/e kinda we will see at 9.1 what happend

azure carbon
#

Also worth noting that the sim from the pins has a database override.

#

Might only be for premium users?

brittle pawn
#

You copied the text from Jan 10 in that channel doofus

stoic needle
#

It's just a custom string

exotic sundial
#

We are back baby lol

arctic brook
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
stoic needle
#

override.spell_data="effect.179721.base_value=51"
override.spell_data="effect.191052.base_value=51"

#

Paste this at at the end of your simc input in an advanced sim in raidbots

#

And you can sim for yourself with the aura buff

open swift
#

holy

stoic needle
#

Don't need premium to do that

open swift
#

sin rogue was just picked in the awc and it dominated

jaunty arrow
open swift
#

piakaboo popped off on sin rogue

#

he beat a warrior mage team
