The rich decedent goodness of the OxiCevYr sandwich

timid cloud
#

No, he's thinking about how we need to bring something to a raid.

#

Thinking about how dogshit our talents are.

#

Most of them dead.

oak sky
#

Whispyr already wrote about the talents

limber lion
oak sky
#

And i heard talk of a scathing report on the tier sets

carmine dawn
#

Udahoe joedead

oak sky
gusty mirage
#

that should put you out in no time

limber lion
#

Wtf

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

I don't even know what that word is

thorny pond

@gusty mirage

#

Why is thst a thing

gusty mirage
#

hello

thorny pond
#

Turkey Day tomorrow. Tell us your real political thoughts about the origins of that Oxi

gusty mirage
#

why is what a thing

carmine dawn
#

Why do lawyers become doctors

#

And then not

gusty mirage
#

we may have to move this over to OT LULW

limber lion
#

I also like Assassination

#

Whee it's my favorite spec

gusty mirage
#

@limber lion I do too, I need them to give us more life in 9.2

thorny pond
limber lion
#

Remember to slam that shivvy boys

gusty mirage
#

so I can stop getting bullied by the ninjas

slow marsh
#

No cuz you need a doctorate to be able to explain why our talents are the way they are

limber lion
#

Slam it real good

limber lion
gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

LMAO

#

Big true

gusty mirage
#

but then again

#

if Ion's rsham has crit/mastery on his legendary on his HELM for 9.1

#

I'm not sure if I want a blizz dev playing our class

limber lion
#

Sephuz actually did a bunch of really good stuff for Rogue

gusty mirage
#

he was the chosen one

limber lion
#

He was on the job for a week and he did a bunch of stuff

oak sky
#

Ion probably has been really busy tbf

gusty mirage
#

you think if I tweet at him he'll respond?

#

"pls come back rogues need you"

limber lion
#

Maybe

slow marsh
#

I'll retweet with my 2 followers

limber lion
#

No harm in trying :')

gusty mirage
#

my tweeter is private kekg

oak sky
#

He probably has a gig at riot making the new assassin class for world of arcane

limber lion
#

I'll retweet then JPC sees it because he follows me then he'll retweet it

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

JPC is maybe the savior we need

oak sky
#

Chain reaction ratio

harsh juniper
#

The Man

slow marsh
#

I mentioned the tier set in max discord and he responded to me

limber lion
#

Too bad even eith Asmon's following, nothing ever happens

#

So don't expect too much

#

Yeh James is chill

gusty mirage
#

I GOT IT

limber lion
#

Good bloke

gusty mirage
#

I'll sue blizzard

slow marsh
#

He gave a typical answer idk why people are saying what they are but the idea of it sounds fun.

limber lion
#

Eyy

gusty mirage
#

it'll be worth every $ of the filing fee

oak sky
#

Lol thats low hanging fruit oxi

#

Its so meta

gusty mirage
#

and the sanctions that'll be imposed on me

#

for filing a frivolous lawsuit

slow marsh
#

And he said relative to other specs it doesn't seem op at all like what people are saying

gusty mirage
#

I'll sue blizzard for negligent infliction of emotional distress for giving us such a stupid tier set bonus

slow marsh
#

Blizz doesn't listen to asmon cuz he doesn't play the game how they want him to

limber lion
#

Lol

oak sky
#

I mean yeah he mount farms he doesnt do relevant content

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

I mean it's just one dude in the end

gusty mirage
#

can we start a RH GoFundMe for the counter-lawsuit where actiblizz lawyers destroy me and my career?

limber lion
#

Vs a corporate of thousands of workers

slow marsh
#

Yeah I got you oxi

oak sky
#

I dont think theres anything wrong with how asmon plays the game, and I do think there should be stuff for people like him to do

slow marsh
#

I agree nothing wrong with it. But no shot blizz makes any design changes based on how he plays

limber lion
#

Based on how any individual does

oak sky
#

True

slow marsh
#

Other than Mike Ybarra right

#

All the rules apply to everyone except the person in charge when it comes to blizz

#

It's an American company afterall

oak sky
#

Hopefully cypher ends up being a fun system for casuals

slow marsh
#

I mean if it's truely all cosmetic they'll probs get more people interested in doing it

oak sky
#

Looked like theres a bunch of mounts

thorny pond
#

It just better be interactive and fun. Not just baseless “go clear this zone” or “kill 8 whatchamacallits”

oak sky
#

I mean hopefully its some stuff like that, some for exploring and whatever

#

As long as theres variety it should be fun

#

Game would be really boring if there was never kill mob quests

thorny pond
#

Sure but if the area in general is kill mob quests I hope the cypher offers some variety

oak sky
#

Oh for sure

#

I'm hoping i can have some fun messing around with it

slow marsh
#

I'm a little sus of the tier set craft coming some time after raid launch

oak sky
#

Im kinda not

#

I think itll come out like 2 weeks after mythic week

ruby coyote
#

Hey guys, Outlaw/Sub main here but I wanna mess with Assassination a bit so I have a few questions. What's the Assa opener and rotation? I tried checking out the pins and the faq but couldn't find anything.

slow marsh
#

I hope so. I'm just sus it'll be like a month after

#

!guide

oak sky
#

A month is still better than in 9.2.5

slow marsh
#

Fair

oak sky
#

Thats about the limit for me though

#

Longer than that would be very sus

slow marsh
#

I guess after having dom sets and everyone basing comps and such around full 4p tier sets it's just gonna be weird

#

Like idk if it'll be much better than 9.1 start. It'll be better but not much idk

oak sky
#

Tier sets are fundamentally better than dom since its class by class, + we dont have to also get shards

#

And its on any 5 slots

#

Or any 4/5

jaunty steeple
#

dom stuff was AWFUL as fuck for alts

oak sky
#

Which is better than needing 1 specific out of 5 + 2 more

slow marsh
#

Yeah true you had to have the right Dom pieces + the right shards

#

I've never played at the start of a tier with sets so idk the feels of how stuff pans out

oak sky
#

Me meither

#

Neither

slow marsh
#

Plus tier sets used to be tokens and now they seem to be against the token thing so

oak sky
#

Yeah ig we'll see

#

I would think its not that hard to finish your 4pc by the end of week 2

jaunty steeple
#

there's no info on weapon loot yet is there

slow marsh
#

Another tier of taking lower ilvl gear because its part of a set yay

oak sky
#

I dont mind it tbh

slow marsh
#

I wonder if they'll put more work into weaps / trinks since we're only getting tier + double leggo

#

Yeah I don't mind it much either idc

oak sky
#

I think we get basic weps this tier

#

Sanctum had the cool ones

#

I think its back to nathria style

slow marsh
#

Yeah true but this is the final raid of xpac (lul that was quick) and don't they usually juice the power scale ?

oak sky
#

Yeah i think so but double leggos + tier is pretty juice

#

Idk maybe there will be weapon effects who knows

#

Maybe its a domination rune enchant system that we learn from anduin

slow marsh
#

Yeah double leggo + tier should be juice....it's just not when you're coming off of dom shards

#

Yeah I think there's a hidden power system still

#

Somewhere

oak sky
#

I mean every class will be doing more damage next patch than this patch

slow marsh
#

It's not cypher like I thought but I still think it's there

oak sky
#

Might be a ptr problem

slow marsh
#

I'm not too sure on the dam thing idk if the main stat + extra leggo + tier will make up for dom

#

At least super alpha early experimental sims for us show it's not

#

But ptr will hammer that out I'm sure

oak sky
#

It definitely will

#

Doing less damage would just be bad

slow marsh
#

It would

oak sky
#

Us being weaker compared to other classes would be unfortunate

#

But we should still be simming for more than 12k

#

Im like 99% that we will

slow marsh
#

They gots their work cut out for them this holiday season that's for sure lol

#

I know that's probably the correct answer but I'm hesitant still after number early crunching. We're gonna need a pretty sizable boost somewhere

oak sky
#

They need to bridge about a 2k-2.5k dps gap

#

Dont think thats hard

slow marsh
#

It might be with the current iteration of 4p since we don't gain much damage at all

#

People just see 100% and freak

oak sky
#

I mean shit we probably got that since last patch and we didnt even get double leggos

thorny pond
#

Give good feedback on PTR and constructive posts

slow marsh
#

Yeah

thorny pond
#

All we can do and hope they internally balance

oak sky
#

Of course

#

I might even play ptr

thorny pond
#

Obviously we want to be in a similar place we are now relative to other specs

#

But we shall see

oak sky
#

I have a very long christmas break from college

slow marsh
#

I'm def playing ptr just so I can be in on the feedback

#

Can't be talking the talk and not walk the walk

oak sky
#

Yep

#

But i wouldnt worry about us doing less damage even if our tier doesnt change

thorny pond
#

A lot of our potential strengths and weaknesses also come down to fight design

spark scaffold
#

!tea

oak sky
#

Crit good haste ok vers reroll but ok agi bad

thorny pond
#

I hope that sin stays a powerhouse on ST, that’ll give us a spot in raid regardless

spark scaffold
#

Sorry for asking again, anyone know the command to always make the theotar tea buff give crit on raidbots?

slow marsh
#

I wouldn't say I'm worried. More just I see the hill that we have to climb in ptr and then I see wow community saying sin tier is huge

oak sky
#

Sin is probably one of the best classes for prio cleave as well

thorny pond
#

I think people are thinking it is adding on our current kit but exsang vendetta doesn’t get me hard

oak sky
#

Underrated aspect

slow marsh
spice spire
thorny pond
slow marsh
#

We are going haste again but dashing is still looking competitive for now

thorny pond
spark scaffold
#

If you're thinking about this one profileset."crit"+="shadowlands.party_favor_type=crit" it only works in the advanced sim, there was one that worked in custom APL

slow marsh
#

The big thing for prog I guess is that most all our dam is going to be inside of the 20s vend window so maybe we get brought just cuz of our 1min burst similarly to venth boomie except obvi not nearly as strong

thorny pond
oak sky
#

Just gotta sit through a few weeks of ptr

slow marsh
#

I think we can accurately say that haste will be back on the menu. The only way it isn't is if we overcap like crazy during vend

thorny pond
#

Hopefully productive weeks. Rework sepsis senpai

slow marsh
#

Yes plz sepsis 1min

oak sky
#

Remove sepsis senpai

thorny pond
#

Even with high haste duskwalker a prefers vigor

#

So anything to increase energy regen is our meta. PIs, KA as NF, Fairies

spark scaffold
#

Ah, it works with only this part "shadowlands.party_favor_type=crit", thank you anyway @spice spire

balmy condor
#

Oh

spice spire
#

Yeah that’s all that was needed lol. I just tested to check and was like ???

slow marsh
#

I could see sin possibly being a ST powerhouse with externals but ye we'll see

oak sky
#

Profileset just makes it do different sims for each one right?

#

Like split them up

spice spire
#

Yo @thorny pond you good king? The zen pfp changed just double checking

spark scaffold
#

Yeah the profileset one is to compare the dps between buffs i think

spice spire
#

Ya

thorny pond

#

Holy copium Batman

slow marsh
oak sky
#

Huge copium

#

Its not gonna happen for the 3rd tier in a row

#

True

slow marsh
#

SIN 4P INCREASES DAMAGE 100% INSIDE VENDETTA WOW THATS HUGE

oak sky
#

Lets just see if they can do anythinf

#

Anything

thorny pond
#

If they did anything else with bleeds but that 4pc it would’ve been 🥂

slow marsh
#

Just make our bleeds and poison dot do damage and we're fine

#

The fact they picked exsang is sadge cuz it's such a small damage increase

thorny pond
#

Poison ticks now cause an extra bleed tick to instantly occur

#

Yuge

slow marsh
#

Like you get +20% to like 18% damage for 20 seconds

#

I think the best way to fix it would be to change the 2p over the 4p

thorny pond
#

Noooo

bleak sky
#

watching zerocool's stream

#

wtf is this

oak sky
#

First strike insane

#

📈

slow marsh
#

First strike MA leggo open sepsis shiv

bleak sky
#

tfw night fae enjoyer and still 400 io higher than me

slow marsh
#

Oh wait you don't need ma with first strike

balmy condor
#

Man just plays whatever he wants and jebaits half the channel in the process

bleak sky
#

yep

carmine dawn
spark scaffold
#

When you play MfD and your 4th cast is like 5-6 seconds delayed from being during flag/vendetta window do you delay flag vendetta for a few seconds or do you just lose a cast to sync them properly? Assuming patchwerk fight.

bleak sky
#

you hold mfd for flag, not the other way around

balmy condor
carmine dawn
#

theoretically TO should be insane on outlaw

#

vendetta+shadow blades is insane

#

whats that, 80% increased dmg on ST?

#

or is it multiplicative instead of additive?

gusty mirage
#

It's most likely multiplicative

#

very rarely are there abilities that just add two %s together

fallen charm
#

I just realise hearthstone, mount and cannibalize break stealth if you don't have the subterfuge talent

#

rip

gusty mirage
#

well they all break stealth, but w/ subterfuge you have like a little grace period before mobs can "see" you

fallen charm
#

nop

#

with subterfuge they do not break

#

I have all of them macroed to stealth before

#

#showtooltip Cannibalize
/cast !Stealth
/cast Cannibalize

#

like this

gusty mirage
brazen zodiac
#

hi oxi

fallen charm
#

but I was using on anothe low level rogue and it was not working

gusty mirage
fallen charm
#

idk if it's monkaTOS to send videos here

#

but check this out

#

I have !stealth macroed in my hearthstone, mount and cannibalize so they don't get interrupted by random mobs

#

must be an unintended way subterfuge works

#

I thought it worked like that baseline

strange python
#

does flagellation sometimes give 0 stacks?

gusty mirage
#

ye its a bug

#

happened to me a handful of times on sylv prog

#

still no idea why

damn I'm sad

I though it was so cool to use hearthstone in stealth

I don't even know but some duder arguing with me on my comment on drat video

gusty mirage

youtube comments

yikes

Yeah ik

gusty mirage

those are right there with news article comments

slow marsh

I have made a mistake

gusty mirage

abort mission

do not pass go

#

do not collect $200

bleak sky
#

no talking to strangers on the internet iceblades

slow marsh
#

It's definitely up there with arguing on Facebook

balmy condor
#

I reached out to dratnos about the tier set

#

He didn’t respond

slow marsh
balmy condor
slow marsh
#

Ofc he didn't

gusty mirage
slow marsh

He just says whatever he wants with no accountability

Hit him up again with the "listen up dipshit"

is that defias brotherhood discord still a thing?

gusty mirage
balmy condor

No core

Clue

#

I know there’s a Russian rogue disc and a chinese rogue something

#

Idk if discord is allowed in China

gusty mirage
#

I'm assuming its a bizzaro world of RH

#

where there's a guy named Screamyng

#

who puts out scuffed sims

slow marsh
gusty mirage
#

we're kind to our fellow rogues

#

except for @spice spire

#

we flame him

slow marsh

I am being kind

also I got flamed enough in raid @gusty mirage

At worst we sit at shit tier dps up until 9.2.5 thrn get buffed

I'll cut them

shit was wildin'

lyric crater
#

wonder what spec be top dps in next patch

spice spire
#

i had to hop off the alt before I wanted to

slow marsh
#

Probably fire mage

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

oh and dps passed out from inebriation mid kt

lyric crater
#

rogues lol sorry it late

gusty mirage
#

probably sub

oak sky
#

No really its hard to know theres probably gonna be a bunch of tuning and leggo changes and stuff

slow marsh
#

If SB stacks then sub is going to jupiter

lyric crater
#

sub can kick rocks

#

pvp its fun out side of it i dont like it

gusty mirage
#

thing is we don't know how things actually will play out

oak sky
#

We cant really know whats good quite yet

gusty mirage
#

sub being bis is based on the fact that their 4pc will give CP and interact with all the other neat things shadowstrike does

spice spire
gusty mirage
spice spire
#

oxi's not wrong

slow marsh
#

If you want to be safe then yeah reroll ww

obtuse robin
slow marsh
#

But we are rogues we don't play safe

oak sky
#

Ww is the main alt next tier for sure

#

Main is rogue no chance of anything else

spice spire

I'm already on it ag

oak sky
spice spire

got the mage backpocket to be safe

another CN monkaGIGA

gusty mirage
#

I live and die with the rogue class

slow marsh
#

I'm gonna start leveling hunter maybe cuz defile is real

full tendon
gusty mirage
#

I might dabble in a little resto shaman next tier

#

me as a healer

slow marsh
#

I will forever otp rogue though unless it's actually bad which it won't be

obtuse robin
#

you promise ? SucksMan

slow marsh
#

But not a bad idea to have a ranged ready for certain fights idk

oak sky
#

Nah

gusty mirage
#

I don't ever switch from rogue ever

oak sky
#

You never play 0 melee

#

Its bad

gusty mirage
#

I even sucked it up and played outlaw for half of 9.0

#

and got flamed by whispyr

oak sky
#

Theres always times when its hard to be ranged and hard to be melee

slow marsh
#

cough sludgefist

#

But no yeah I am comfortable in my ability to outplay every other melee on rogue

#

Dont get it twisted

#

I just level a ranged cuz it looks good

obtuse robin
#

no one to play vs on ally side tho

oak sky
#

I would play some shadowpriest if i had more time

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

Dang imagine being ally

oak sky
#

Not me

#

No warlock here

oak sky
#

The old days

slow marsh
#

I miss it already

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

Spriest is a solid option for rogue just in terms of profile. You're kind of just a ranged rogue

hexed frost
#

I am expecting the destro lock tier set to be nerfed at this point. It's absolutely broken as per tooltip is concerned

slow marsh
#

Hopefully everything gets nerfed and buffed

oak sky
#

Just like our set might end up good destro might end up bad we just have to give feedback and wait it out

hexed frost
#

Imagine getting an infernal every 10 GCDs or soPES_JesusChristAlt

gusty mirage
#

Just remember gents

#

When PTR is up

#

Log in and flood them with suggestions

#

Probably won't do anything but it won't be because we didn't try

slow marsh
#

Imagine infernal doing 69 damage so it doesn't matter

hexed frost
#

I am disheartened but not surprised in the sin tier set.

Blizzard has always been lazy and unimaginative since BfA. They just made Exangiuate a base talent through the set.

No imagination. Nothing.

slow marsh
#

Well we just need to come up with a solid rework as a discord and spam them with the same singular suggestion in ptr

hexed frost
#

Yes

slow marsh
#

I don't want to outright flame them anymore. They just genuinely don't get how rogue works so we need to help them understand exactly what we want

buoyant mauve
#

I remember using ptr for the first time ever for 9.0.5 to make sure envenom could pandemic o7

slow marsh
#

Pog

#

Now we will never envenom

spice spire
#

wait @slow marsh someone actually thinking you flame? sus

slow marsh
#

Oxiheal is a thing I can see it

spice spire
#

people copying memes like they're irl

#

smdh

#

you've only flamed one rogue actively. And he was right SMH

slow marsh
spice spire
#

ah

#

lil bit, yeah kekl

gusty mirage
#

I know you have it

clever kindle
#

Hmm 1 of these is the same setup im using with the dps conduits flipped in position and one is saying equip vers mastery shoulders over my crit haste but change nothing

#

maybe I did something weird in my initial simc output

slow marsh
#

I'm not really a flamer, I can get pretty condescending though and I try to catch myself from doing it

gusty mirage
#

link the sim

clever kindle
#

oh nevermind I found the problem

#

I had crimson tempest equipped, I had unselected it but didnt realize thats what I was using for the simc output

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

Ye I mean it's obvious what classes the devs play

clever kindle
#

? Ion plays a shaman, GC played a Priest

#

current CEO plays a warrior

hexed frost
clever kindle
#

idk many other notable devs I guess

gusty mirage
#

Bobby plays a warrior?

clever kindle
#

not bobby

#

the new blizzard guy

spice spire
#

@gusty mirage

slow marsh
#

Mikey

oak sky
#

Blizzard lead

clever kindle
#

ye

#

actual warrior that parses pretty well

#

and clears CE

#

Qwik the warrior peepohappy

#

so nice to have someone who plays the game

slow marsh
buoyant mauve
#

so if were to hypothetically all copy pasta the same feedback for sin set, what changes would you guys like to see? only thing I really want is built in cdr on vendetta but that'll prob never happen SucksMan

oak sky
#

Dont want that

#

Rather have a consistent vendetta cd so we dont get cucked by not hitting the boss

slow marsh
#

We don't need cdr on vend

clever kindle
#

Spam reporting the same issue copy pasta probably isn't going to do anything, and our suggestions are also unlikely to ever get put in wholesale. You can make pointed constructive feedback

oak sky
#

Other classes can have that

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

We don't copy pasta spam but we do build around the same general idea and put it in our own words and that would be good

clever kindle
#

yeah have the discussion on the forum and devs will read it

oak sky
#

Add poisons to the shiv bugf

#

#1

clever kindle
#

rogue devs dont post but they do read

gusty mirage
hexed frost
clever kindle
#

ai

gusty mirage
#

the guy who came in the fix the hvac system 3 years ago?

#

does that count as a dev

oak sky
#

Something has to be different with 4 pc though

slow marsh
clever kindle
#

Rogue changes are randomly generated by AI every expansion and other classes are balanced around them

hexed frost
gusty mirage
#

Never

clever kindle
#

have you ever seen a rogue dev?

gusty mirage
#

I just like the gromnak kek

spice spire
clever kindle
slow marsh
gusty mirage
clever kindle
#

No but I did get GC to respond to a thread in the rogue forums once many moons ago

#

that counts right

oak sky
#

I woildnt mind if they scrapped our 4 pc and made it juice shiv instead of vendetta

#

In some way

clever kindle
slow marsh

Maybe but GC is making rito mmo so no

clever kindle
#

rito mmo is the only mmo I would consider playing at this point

slow marsh
clever kindle
#

I have 0 faith in these random ass companies trying to make an mmo

#

in 2021

#

all of them are hot garbage

slow marsh
#

It's obvious they want us to be more bleed/poison dot focused so we gotta play ball with them

clever kindle
#

the gameplay style seems weird anyways if you take exsang on top of that set bonus, wont your bleeds finish before vendetta is up

#

maybe

slow marsh
#

I think the best way to get 4p to work would be to completely change 2p

clever kindle
#

yeah so..

#

Seems funky

slow marsh
#

But exsang is just a singular set of bleeds

clever kindle
#

That is good pointed feedback

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

Which is why it's not gonna get played

gusty mirage
#

like make it so it gives double ticks

slow marsh
#

Yes

clever kindle
#

thats what I would hope it is

slow marsh
#

What oxi said

clever kindle
#

but

gusty mirage
#

adding 25% crit to poisons to the 2pc isn't going to magically make the 4pc great lol

slow marsh
#

I mean maybe that's what they're trying to do and just flubbed the wording who knows

oak sky
#

I like the 2p better than the 4p

spice spire
#

25% crit to just poisons cringe

slow marsh
spice spire
#

make it 25% crit period

thorny pond
spice spire
#

even more of a dps cooldown kekl

gusty mirage
#

but also extremely boring

spice spire
#

that's pretty unreasonable too tbh

slow marsh
#

Ye that'd be too strongk

oak sky
#

They would have to make our 4p based on crit

hexed frost
#

Buff base bleed tick(maybe poison too) by 5%
Replace vendetta buff in 4P bonus with shiv
make vendetta debuff spread to targets hit by fan of knives

slow marsh
#

I'm thinking sec

clever kindle
#

make shiv grant x mutilates a guaranteed crit

slow marsh
#

Oh

buoyant mauve
#

what if they recycled t12 4pc or t13 2pc to give more of a reason to press tricks outside of pull?

clever kindle
thorny pond
#

Both sets need to either give some form of increased resource gain or cdr

slow marsh
#

Shiv nature damage applies to bleeds

#

Whisp said that already tho

oak sky
#

Maybe the bleed crits reduce shiv cd

#

So the set plays off itself

#

Did i say that already

#

Im fried

spice spire
#

you guys are all way off base

#

the 2pc should be shrouded

gusty mirage
spice spire
oak sky
#

Boring

#

Quake

slow marsh
#

It will never be shrouded

#

Leave shrouded in 8.3

#

Buried

oak sky
#

Or make it a talent

slow marsh
#

Forever

hexed frost
oak sky
#

Sounds awful

spice spire
#

i really just want to replace our boring ass talents kekl

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

Kill it with fire

buoyant mauve
slow marsh
#

How can we MfD NS snap rupture vendetta exsang with shrouded

oak sky
#

Glad you like 1 talent OMEGAKEKW

thorny pond
buoyant mauve
#

lol

gusty mirage
#

I'd rather just them mail in 9.2 and rework our talents for 10.0

gusty mirage
#

rather than copy and paste alacrity into sin and sub

oak sky
#

Our 4 set should be shiv based or bleed crit based

spice spire
#

based oxi

oak sky
#

I believe this with my whole being

spice spire
#

fuck alacrity

slow marsh
#

K let me try off the top

oak sky
#

Assuming we keep 2p

gusty mirage
thorny pond
gusty mirage
#

I just wish the other two options were actually options

thorny pond
#

Doesn’t make it good tho

oak sky
#

Plenty of classes have boring 2p bonuses but the 4p makes it more interesting

thorny pond
slow marsh
#

Wait holy shit I'm lame I was about to make 2p into alacrity 2.0

gusty mirage
#

MFers tellin me to leave shrouded in 8.3

#

but they're still obsessed with exsang

slow marsh
#

Leave shrouded in 8.3

spice spire
#

holy shit

thorny pond
buoyant mauve
spice spire
#

oxi can't miss tonight

slow marsh
#

Make it all bleeds and poisons from stealth

spice spire
#

"leave exsan in 8.3"

gusty mirage
#

idk if a 400% exsang even saves it @thorny pond its bad man

thorny pond
oak sky
gusty mirage
#

like leveling a rogue, hitting 60 and not picking a talent is more DPS than it bad

#

yeah cause it snapshotted the ludicrous amounts of haste we were able to obtain

#

and even then

#

shrouded helped it a lot

thorny pond
gusty mirage
#

oh god I don't even remember legion

#

it's been so long

#

my boomer memory doesn't go that far back

spice spire
#

didn't even play legion

gusty mirage
#

so I didn't really get to play it much either tbh

spice spire
#

I came back in 8.3

thorny pond
spice spire
#

twinsies, sort of

slow marsh
#

Ok look

thorny pond
#

Probably snapshot it with a vanish nightstalker

slow marsh
#

I just want to NS snap rupture or CT

#

Idgaf how

#

Just let me

thorny pond
spice spire
#

i mean yeah

#

the 4 set kinda screams "snapshot me"

thorny pond
slow marsh
#

The problem is that 4p makes snapshots not as good cuz you have to refresh halfway or more through vend

thorny pond
#

MA Obedience with 4pc lul
Vendetta Shiv Flag vanish NS Rupt Exsang mutilate envenom spam

#

Degen asf

slow marsh
#

I mean add it to the list

thorny pond
#

That would be depending on blizz tuning a dead talent good

#

Which exsang is on their radar if they baked it into the 4pc

slow marsh
#

I find it hard to believe that we don't play dusk obed but I'm down for a degen MA build

thorny pond
#

Do they buff it and let us have both? Doubtful

slow marsh
#

I think we just forget exsang exists.

#

The idea that it synergizes is a mirage

thorny pond
#

Some giga brain mapped it out and it’s still going to take an external like fairies PI or NF KA to get 1min vends

slow marsh
#

We already get vend on 1min with dusk so we don't need 2pc synergy to make it work

#

You can sim it right now it's like 1.1 min vend with current stats

thorny pond
#

I saw like 1min 15sec I’ll check again but someone posted about it on Sunday night

slow marsh
#

Whatever it is you sync with flag anyways so even if it's not 1min exactly you're holding it for flag regardless

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

Cuz harder to get flag to 1min exactly than vend

slow marsh
#

But you can sim with it and check timers

hexed frost
#

Oh

#

Bruh just bring back tier 14 setMrBurnsPepe

#

4 piece tier 12(the tricks of trade one) is also good one.

slow marsh
#

Slightly less than 1 min vends

#

Some more some less

#

With more haste it for sure is 1min no shot it's not

#

And we get 25 stacks of flag on average outside of vanish without resets so that should get a bump too

oak sky
#

Bringing back old sets is just lazy

hexed frost
#

Instead of messing around with 1-2 min CD windows, wouldn't it be better to just either buff base bleeds or give the damage buff within shiv window?

slow marsh
#

Yeah I don't mind the idea behind the new set

oak sky
#

They had what 3 years to come up with ideas?

hexed frost
#

Like our strength comes from pumping as much within shiv windows, so why not just capitalize on that instead?

oak sky
#

Our strength is consistency

slow marsh
#

^

oak sky
#

A tier set could make our strength shiv windows

#

Potentially

#

But right now that just isnt the case

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

I mean the easy but boring fix is just make shivs damage boost apply to bleeds

#

Minimal changes and mostly accomplishes the goal

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

Na

#

You just change the bleed crit to flat dam boost to bleeds

#

Instead of a 1.5% dam gain we get a nice beefy bleed booster to synergize with 4p

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

It will do the same damage in half the time

#

But still the same damage

#

So you fit one extra garrote in rup in vend

gusty mirage
#

same duration, just ticks twice as often

slow marsh
#

So what you're gaining is roighly 20% dam boost on whatever those two instances of bleed are

#

The double ticks would actually double our bleed dam in vend

#

Which would be sizable

#

It's kind of like getting 100% haste for bleeds and poisons inside of vend

#

Which is much better than the exsang mechanic

hexed frost
#

Yes

slow marsh
#

I think it's what the people who are speculating "sin tier set busted mega damage in vend" are misreading that it is

strange python
#

How important is using arcane torrent

#

Like should I just go zandalari if I'm lazy

oak sky
#

Its 45 energy in a 5 minute sim nonzero gain

strange python
#

Guess it's useful to speed up any hold windows

slow marsh
#

I'm trying to get used to using it on open still

True actually I'm just jealous

balmy condor

You can color your hair too

slow marsh

Been there done that

#

Did the blue hair thing after graduating high school never going back

oak sky

Blue hair

#

Huh

bronze pike

I like to color myself blond :)

balmy condor

First time I colored my hair

#

Vibrant ass blue

#

Night before senior prom

I’m a gambling man

Didn’t even tell my girlfriend

I just rolled up with blue hair

My wife is cosmetologist if I wanted to I could really go hard in the paint with some color

Nice flex

fossil coyote
#

i was hoping to give sin a go but its -1.3k in sims

bronze pike
#

Oh I bet

#

Also I would just try out sub and sim and see which one fits you. Sub is like the best spec but I honestly can’t get into it

#

So I multispec sin and outlaw

balmy condor
bronze pike
#

:,D

slow marsh
#

Omegalul capped spec

fossil coyote
#

i like the idea of sub but it feels weird to play

bronze pike
#

I like the pew pew pew

#

And it’s fast pace nature lol

slow marsh
#

Sub not weird to play once you come to terms with the fact that you do negative damage out of dance

bronze pike
#

Stimulates the monke brain

balmy condor

I like outlaw full send mindset

fossil coyote
fallow otter

Well that depends on the fight

slow marsh

Not really

If you're holding CDs as outlaw why are you playing outlaw

Just threaten them with a nerf and they'll crumple in tears

bronze pike
#

Yes

fallow otter
#

My rogue ST sims the same as ww with 10 less ilvls ripppp

I am the dreadblades connoisseur

hollow river

rogues VS. warriors, WW's, boomkins, mages, warlocks

bronze pike
hollow river

all the inferior races

slow marsh

I tried bread blades but it didn't have enough gluten for me

hollow river
bronze pike
hollow river

i still haven't tried it

#

it sims slightly ahead for my venthyr outlaw profile

bronze pike

So if you wanna try it, do it now while it still syncs with flag

slow marsh
#

Rip dreadblades. Truely a tragedy

hollow river

no

DB for life

Sniff sniff* damn right db for right

If I get mythic ripper on my alt rogue tonight do I pass it on boys or do I flex the pog alt weapon

hollow river

pass

slow marsh

Pass cuz you play monk

Big sad. I’m still enjoying it while I can, tho come 9.2 obi will just make db feel bad to click

You literally play monk you can't say shit lmao

Nah nah

fallow otter
#

Hey I'm not skum

Lol

spice spire
#

WW are homies in raid

#

They provide a valid buff

#

Dh buff ranged

#

Hella sus

slow marsh
#

Na na enh are the homies

versed mica
#

Naw monks are cringe because they are broken

slow marsh
#

WW are the homie's homies

spice spire
#

Enhance whammies are for the boys

slow marsh
#

So they're cousin homies

#

Not as close of homie

fallow otter
#

Literally trialling a mw hence can play rogue so if ww is 9.2 trash they I'll switch back

bronze pike
slow marsh
#

Imagine thinking ww would ever be trash after uncap

fallow otter
#

But tbh ww is fun af I won't swap if they're still solid

bronze pike
#

Ww is fun, but ever since uncap

fossil coyote
#

i leveled blood to 3 cuz i was gonna do sub but want to give sin a go is that a big oopsie?

bronze pike
#

You can tell the new ww from the pros

#

Sooooo hard

fallow otter
#

Well i prio mythic prog and our ST kinda meh

slow marsh
fallow otter
#

Good burst still but

versed mica
#

what does NF have that makes db good?

bronze pike
#

Ran a 16 sd once, new ww monk decently gear

versed mica
#

"good" I mean

slow marsh
bronze pike
#

Only did spin kick

slow marsh
#

It's not good

versed mica
#

☣️

slow marsh
#

It's just the only chance dreadblades has to live

oak sky
bronze pike
#

Sepsis syncs

versed mica
slow marsh
bronze pike
#

But it will never be good, in fact it would probs be worse with 9.2 venthyr db

slow marsh
#

Kt

#

WW just needs one add fight in raid and it's insta even without the raid buff

bronze pike
#

Cause you could theoretically get your second flag to 50-40 CD range maybe more

#

After the first initial sync

fallow otter
#

Lots of bad monks though, especially kyrian ones

bronze pike
#

^

#

Not bad monks

#

New monks

#

That only went monk cause omglol meta

fallow otter
#

Haha yeh I'm sure that describes a bunch of them

slow marsh
bronze pike
#

And getting insta invited cause they’re monk.

#

Lol

slow marsh
#

There's more bad rogues right now than new monks

bronze pike
slow marsh
#

I agree it truely is a ripperino

bronze pike
versed mica
#

just get rid of alacrity

#

easy

bronze pike
#

Just takes practice, people pick up classes faster than others

#

Ehh

oak sky
#

They have to buff everything else if we lose alacrity

bronze pike
#

Alac is to good to just get rid off

#

Exactly agreon

slow marsh
#

Remove snd buff alacrity make it baseline

#

I fix all rogue problems

#

This one is free next one will cost ya

bronze pike
#

Lol imagine alac baseline for outlaw

versed mica
#

🧠 🌩️

bronze pike
#

You can’t even add dreadblades to restless blades

#

Cause that will turn into a nasty loop.

slow marsh
#

The argument surrounding snd and alacrity being bad for rogue is the same just slam them together and make them baseline I don't get it

versed mica
#

*epic loop

bronze pike
#

Only thing you can do is bake in greed procs to it

#

Like the artifact weapon

slow marsh
#

Na DB can't truely be good because it's counterintuitive with cto

#

DB means lots of dispatch which means lots of buffs but your best buffs don't really get used cuz you're in DB

versed mica
#

cto baseline next expack or i revolt

#

you saw nothing

slow marsh
#

Wut

versed mica
#

exactly

bronze pike
#

Probs should move this to outlaw chat

slow marsh
#

I want shiv to not be the way it is

versed mica
#

oh this isn't outlaw

#

lmaoo

bronze pike
#

Oh get back to sin stuff

#

Isn’t sl shiv like that bfa talent?

slow marsh
#

Yeah it's toxic blade

#

It's huge for us right now cuz envenom big dam but I wish it wasn't

oak sky
#

Shiv isnt that big

slow marsh
#

I like the idea of 9 second small burst window every 25s and a big one every 2mins but it just doesn't seem like sin gameplay

oak sky
#

Its not crazy levels of burst

versed mica
#

they need to do a huge rework of sin tbh

#

it's been essentially the same spec for 3 expacks now

slow marsh
#

Its not crazy u right but it's the top 2 most important buttons we press on cd

versed mica
#

with some minor differences from borrowed power

oak sky
#

Shiv is important for sure

#

But like they always say its an uptime debuff

slow marsh
#

Ye that's what I mean.

oak sky
#

You want it up a lot but it just amplifies our passive shit to be less bad

slow marsh
#

I wish it wasn't that way

oak sky
#

Oh i would love to have our tier set be a proper shiv as a cd thing

slow marsh
#

Ye I think my fav realistic change is to have shiv affect bleeds though

oak sky
#

Just not sure if theyre willing to make changes that big

slow marsh
#

No shot they do a cdr rider on shiv or a bleeds + poisons tick twice change

bronze pike
#

I mean

#

Fair I guess

#

How would you like sin to be like?

slow marsh
#

I'd love those but they'd be too strong

bronze pike
#

Unpopular opinion, but when a spec stays similar for three exapansions. That’s usually a good thing. Like you tune it based on community feedback

bronze pike
#

But if a spec stays the same without huuuge overhauls then it usually means it’s a success

#

Oh

slow marsh
#

People are tired of the same ole same ole on sin

limber lion
#

Instead of major rehauls, we've instead gotten 51% aura buffs

oak sky
#

It can be a success but total stagnancy is bad

limber lion
#

You can buff the shit out of a bad spec as well

#

And make it competitive

#

Doesn't mean it's good

#

It's the same spec, different numbers

slow marsh
#

We shouldn't need to be getting boosted 51% from baseline to compete.

limber lion
#

Yeh

bronze pike
#

Fair enough, That is a extremely good point

limber lion
#

More often than not a spec is failing if it relies on aura buffs instead of proper reworks/buffs.

bronze pike
#

I was just thinking in the terms of shaman, they went through like 3 overhauls and it’s still a terrible class that feels unfinished

limber lion
#

We need a talent rehaul and a look into our numbers

slow marsh
oak sky
#

Ele feels pretty good to play imo

#

But enh looks like a shitshow

slow marsh
#

That's what cev wants too I think with his degen exsang build

bronze pike
#

A talent rework would be amazing tbh

limber lion
slow marsh
#

I should feel like I'm doing some 5head shit not just pressing 1 every 25s and slamming envenom as hard as I can in vendetta

limber lion
#

Class balance is really tough to sort out

bronze pike
#

To many dead talents tbh

oak sky
#

Yeah every talent should have some use case

bronze pike
#

And that’s a given for all the rogue specs

slow marsh
#

Ye I like what we have with BS / EP

oak sky
#

Even if some utility talents are good in world and some are mostly for pvp

bronze pike
#

But I do agree that class balance is hard. Just looking at enh and it’s 3 reworks, made me kinda okay that ret and outlaw relatively stayed the same in the past 3 expansions

oak sky
#

Ret is banging rn

slow marsh
#

Even though even that example is bad since you take EP 99% of the time currently

oak sky
#

Tbh

bronze pike
#

Don’t have to tell me twice

hollow river
bronze pike
#

I main ret

fallow otter
#

Wait for 9.2 ret

oak sky
#

Wake reset looks awesome to me

fallow otter
slow marsh
#

I looked at ret bonus but it's like reading latin to me

#

No comprende

bronze pike
#

Easy translation then friend

oak sky
#

The seraphim proc is like a stat proc

#

Wake is a 45s big generator aoe

bronze pike
#

Out auto attacks proc a free 2 holy power generator (2cp)

#

Procs 4 times a min with talent

hollow river
#

OH NO

#

now ret is gonna be even better with WFT

oak sky
#

Yeah

#

Basically

hollow river
#

sadge

#

give me wft

slow marsh
#

The final nail in the coffin for dh

oak sky
#

And we get worse because frost is gone

bronze pike
#

2pc makes the proc due a generic stat % boost for 2 seconds

#

4pc makes our proc proc our heavy hitting 3 cp generator instead of our noodle 2cp generator

#

Which is huge

slow marsh
hollow river
#

didn't even have monk buff for reclear

oak sky
#

Fuck u mean ill claim sub

slow marsh
bronze pike
#

Tho I hope they tune the 2pc cause 2 seconds of serap doesn’t do much

slow marsh
#

Outlaw stonks going through the roof with 2p. Way better than sub

#

For wft

oak sky
#

Outlaw has a nice 2p but the 4p is pretty meh

slow marsh
#

Ye

bronze pike
hollow river
#

if it works with pistol leggo

slow marsh
#

If sin doesn't pan out I'm looking to outlaw to save me from sub degeneracy

hollow river
#

it could be poggers

bronze pike
#

Outlaw 2pc is a huge damage boost best case scenario

slow marsh
#

Outlaw wants 4p to buff the bte proc or something cuz right now it ain't shit

bronze pike
#

4pc just needs to make bte cost 0 cp and add a charge OR bake ace trait into it for fat btes

oak sky
#

Best case is outlaw 4p getting some updating so its actually good

slow marsh
#

Ye
