I was energy capped for like 10s straight


were you vigor oxi 
no mfd
No
why am i questing wtf
Another tier of sub then I guess
Literally no reason to do quests
Yup
night fae time?
outlaw also looks really good early
idk
4pc is kaka
no, it's locked behind the campaign
ofc but it might be a minute before 4p anyways
but not energy capped
and the tier is the same you just swap spec so might be nice
what are the findings from the PTR, sub seems to be pretty good, Sin underwhelming as expected or does at least the 4 set boni feel nice ?
we actually are looking kinda sussy for early prog esp with our 2p being what it is
Feels decent, but we're not sure of the numbers quite yet
yeah
The 2p is getting reworked/buffed so that's good.
his testing dummy was me, an actual dumby
We'll be waiting for that
so many scuffed attempts 
did a blue confirm the 2p rework?
:p

Only Whispyr
wehre tf are the training dummies in orib
there aren't any
nowhere
go to your covenant hall or org
go sinfall
o rip
Have you even played the game
Jeez
How do you not know
Cev chose violence while he lays in bed
no im new

there usually is on the ptr isn't there
by the org port
or is that only the TOURNAMENT RELM
what is this cursed emote 
this is what i got mixed up
only TR afaik
Do Bolvar and Jaina count? 🤣
eSports only

idk im sold on ep deeper
It's a beauty
Bolvar eats riven debris damage for breakfast lunch and dinner
so def at least 1 dummy
im gonna become the new joker of the assassination channel
shilling ep/deeper until sims come out
😈
ep/deeper was going to be the play before the dom shards shook things up
so thanks for that revelation columbo
😛
at the end of 9.0 whispyr said "Hope y'all are ready for EP/DS"
wym i been ep/ds a long time ago
Oh you’re not the only one
btw i havent noticed any energy over cap with either ep/mfd or ep/ds
😈
Sick
i think mfd being free made me feel a little closer to overcap though
You will definitely overcap with lust
oh yeah
with lust
and mfd
100%
with deeper it feels like less of an issue since you generate more
idk if thats an actual dps gain compared to mfd flag stacks or not just an observation
sure
2 set: shiv now quadruples venomous wounds
i already said i didnt notice significant overcap with either when i was testing
just mfd felt slightly more energy heavy

Yeh
Why
Surprise
yeah CT during shiv
You'll never Env again during Vend

CT during shiv
just env to keep snd up

Bruh
it almost does more dam than rupture how sad is that
@balmy condor do you have a list of stuff to sim when tier sets get implemented?

Gonna be a long stream
I have some stuff on my white board yeh

Right now I need to work on finishing my content
If we use dusk and Obe it should be <30 every time
Have to add the extra gar/rup overlaps toward the end of vend on the apl

idk if this is gonna stay. seems unintended to me
exsang felt really bad
Currently is considered a bug
It is, they asked for feedback about it.
figured
your damage outside cds was doggers
Exsang does less damage during vendetta than alacrity
You clowns
yeah thats true too
and it's less sustained
alacrity in intermission 💤

I’ve held up alacrity during sylv intermission over 400 times now
Literal sleep tier content
well garrote is clearly our new highest damaging ability so there's that

on it lol
yeah idk doesn't seem to do nearly as much as the empowered garrotes
I was about say
In what I’ve seen
Subterfuge outclassed
But Gang
What if
Master assassin legendary 
what if deeper+ NS was possible
that sounds amazing one sec
venom rush meta
You'd play NS with MFD
That’s too meme even for me
And always use MFD Ruptures
ye the mfd rup
Venom rush that is
what if they buff it by 100%
middle row talent time fellas
2222221 gamers
lol
should i go doomblade or obedience for cloak?
Obedience
dashing or obedience rn

Dashing can be good too
But you can sim yourself
To know for sure what’s better for you atm
ye
Leggo can change based on your gear and ilvl n whatnot
Well I'm done with my fiddling around
So like, me next?
Yeah sure why not
yea stream it to
Why does everyone say for venthyr sin rogue to use the mad duke soul bind but night blade sims higher dps for me?

Because thrill seeker is a shit soulbind trait that procs terribly
no ptr stream whispyr? ):
and sims don’t account for crit tea
and stream what tho
it's not worth it until after they change our tier and we get double leggo imo
They average the teas out
testing the tier?
I didn’t know that about the tea
after messing with it for the last couple hours it's not anything to write home about. it's less burst than we currently have and less damage in between
It’s way higher
nah idk bout that i'd be watchin fo sho
less burst?
how tf
Yeah everyone talking about how it could be really bursty but it's just not really
I mean compared to the rest of our damage sure but meh
It's all subt garrote inside of vendetta


ok that was cute
do I bother trying to reroll haste tea
Should I use phantom fire or the agility pot
agi
Oh I’ve been using phantom fire
hey guys
Should I use oil or the stones
im new to assa rouge, and was wondering which leggo to craft
double stone
there are a lot of options
obedience
i personally liked the sound of doomblade
I'd highly recommend going with obedience since you'll have to learn how to use it for next patch anyways
and it's tied with dashing for 1/2
gonna have to recraft it tho
is vent best? im enjoying necro atm

ik
necro is a dead covenant next patch
free from the cloak leggo at last
ohh
their covenant legendary is terrible
Necro is dead weight next patch
Unlucky
yeah yeah
Pack your bags
double leggo '
energy gain on vendetta feels pretty nice
Can't wait to play around with it a bit
Hopefully 2p gets reworked sooner than later
no
alright so i guess the true lockout is how many times doing torghast in a row will it take to make ela lose their mind
oh jesus
Spamming t9 ain’t too bad
yeah
am i going to be venthyr for another year
Yes
i’m not doing mort’regar again

i’m so glad i get to stay venthyr i love the aesthetic
i woulda gone venthyr regardless of which ability is best tbh
I would've liked to have been able to have even one option like we generally have in the past but oh well
I’m tired of Venthyr
But Venthyr is great
personally really enjoying echoing reprimand, wouldn’t mind it being better for sin though
Anything but NF 
Me either
I would like it if AR and ShB were activated on sepsis cast rather than expiration
The only thing I dont like about Venthyr is that flag does not give cp
just wear Celerity 

For AR, I think it is outdated for some reason. Energy generation is no longer that attractive.
it works well on outlaw
because of all the CDR
but AR is good for sin too because
well we love energy generation
super PogO
For sin to think about AR, it is fine since we still have V.
For outlaw, there is only AR, which is kind of a problem...
Eh
nah
Whatchu mean
oh cev i tried playing with marked for death instead of vigor and i Can Not Understand it
AR is fine
We can think about AR just like Outlaw can think about Vendetta
It’s the same legendary lol
We don’t get AR from anything but TO
And To is bad
It’s really not that hard
yea, for the legendary is ok, I was talking about AR itself.
i just need to get used to it i think but it’s weird not having the extra energy
Hold every other mfd for flags
Lol.
You probs can’t tell the difference if I’m honest
Just some placebo
the thing you love should be the energy cap
extra energy generation should not be that kind of noticable
My guild is starting on Sylv tonight, what are you guys running for soulbind trees? Seeing a lot of assass rogues running Nadjia over theo, is that due to low uptime on tubbins and gubbins?
Is thrill seeker better due to the nature of the fight
Nadja for Sylv unkess Theo sims better
thrill seeker is better due to you can control it
Which it does for me
and Sylv is a typical timetable boss
Yes, Nadja’s Thrill Seeker procs well on that fight
If Theo sims better, you can just stick to it
Doesn’t really matter honestly
you will find yourself pressing exactly the same ability at the same time through ur progressing
well, almost exactly
Oh I thought we didn’t run Nadjia because it procs during intermissions
Lol.
For sylv specifically
it procs at good times in p3
It’s bad on like Painsmith
I mean I run it on sylv anyway
Just because there’s intermission doesn’t mean it’s bad
From P1 to P2, you can try to kill exactly the number of mobs you want so that the proc happens for your flag in P3
Depends on the fight
Because I cba with Theo
Theo is the homie but yeah nadj is really good for sylv
Theo sims ahead for me by roughly 60 dps
Just use Theo then
Theo is side grade for me
but if the timings for thrill line up well later in the fight it probably makes the most sense to run it and get used to timings
That’s quite a big upgrade
No
Just use Theo
Don’t overthink it
It doesn’t matter
@ me when your ep/mfd sims higher than bs/ds tho
Good luck!
No, 60dps is nothing for Slyv compared to proc line up in P3


you can line up at least two

and for the fight of Slyv, in time P1 and P2 does not matter that much anymore, most likely you're going to stop dps for P1 and for P2 your real contribution is the two window attacking her
and if you're going left on second split, you need to contribute on that golem
not like that, this boss is pure timeline boss, you do it just as you're going to down it from the beginning
In addition, with the current patches, there is no dps pressure on chains anymore.
or lets say only little pressure

if theotar sims higher you are likely to do more damage to the boss with theotar
I think you’re giving soulbinds too much value
All this minmaxing shit is super pointless and useless for prog
What matters more is how you press your nuttons, when you press your buttons, how to avoid damage, how to maximize doing damage, etc.
will dashing even be close to doomblade with shards gone?
Yes it was close before shards
Not worth
Dashing 100% dead weight
No u
someone factory reset cev
):
hes broken again
Agree
I’m not joking.
:?
nani?!
sure but no reason to go it
Whispyr has been saying doom/dash/dusk
4p gives us immense energy regen and dashing is mainly attractive because of regen
Or am I going insane
yeah dashing is close
yeah
from testing atm dusk>doom
t...testing what
Are ya’ll drunk
every single assa legendary is close
AM I DRUNK?
They're all bad
thats what we're saying
So why is it dead ):
even without double legendary from testing now for 3 hours dusk feels better than doom
Because there's better alternatives
Why would you play an inferior choice?
because dashing feels faster
ew
please dont hit me
stop

LOL

Because
scaling
All of our legendaries will be within like 3% off each other
Fun fact
Obedience is 6%
Toxic Onslaught is 4%
And TO is deemed an absolute travesty
rip no ptr pins
monkaS
Tmog terrible
Nothing crazy
its a long list
NF lore best in show tho
Miss sbs already
Sadge
it does not can confirm did test
What about SBS
worth to play internal bleeding and kidney outside of shiv during vendetta u think?
Or did I just hear the stories during 9.1 PTR about 9.0
Doesn’t work on bosses does it
Don't think so
There have been some issues here and there
Again indirectly nerfing Exsang, sadge
That’s what happens when you try to make an inifinite DoT expire 100% faster
Has there been any testing with the new tear sets yet on the PTR
Sure has
Dang
whats the stats for assas rouge
!guide
When you start on the PTR where do I get my tier set from
If you check the wowhead post it says
I’m not sure tbh
Cev should know :0
I assume it’s a vendor in Oribos though
PTR testing summary:
2p: works as it should. Still very underwhelming, very likely that we will see some sort of rework/buff to it.
4p: Vendetta applies the exsanguinate effect to existing bleeds as well as any bleeds applied during Vendetta. Currently the bleeds retain their exsanguinate-effect even after Vendetta drops. This means that we will be looking to reapply garrote and rupture just before Vendetta runs out, even if the bleed is not in pandemic. This has been identified as a bug, so it's possible this gets fixed.
The 4p effect itself is looking decent, but nothing too insane. If we get some sort of buff to bleeds via the 2p bonus, then we'll likely be around the expected value of tier sets. The effect is pure single target for both 2p and 4p, so we're lacking quite a bit in the AoE department unfortunately.

:) just echoing the same stuff as everyone else
But people keep asking about it so might as well
he has to prepare mentally for raid
didnt whispyr all but confirm its getting reworked
No
oh just a bluepost
Just waiting for a post about it actually happening
And if they have an idea on what to do
is the snap shotting effect on the 4p not a dps gain
so
Of course
they just copy pasted exsang code on the 4p
no
That's why you refresh gar/rup at the end
why is it a bug tho
Wat
because it's not intended to snapshot
It's intended to make bleeds expire faster during vend
Not after it as well
They should dynamically update to their longer durations
But they don't.
how do you even fix something like that
reapplied bleeds at the end will go to the halved duration correct?
can they even fix that
bleed.double_duration```

If statements
so it'd just increase the duration

on the existing bleed
You halve the duration during Vend
it would set it back to normal
after Vend drops
yes
weirdchamp
Yeh
how is that weird
idk because i've never seen anything like that i suppose?
Sure you have
That's how Vendetta works already
It increases your damage by 30% for its duration
This is the same stuff
But instead of the word "increase damage"
It's "expires faster"
Which implies the same thing
Kind of
It just needs to change to being a dynamic increase to the bleeds instead of a static when applied in vendetta
But in a different way
it's not a hard change
Huh
but i've just never seen anything like it
sure
what makes sense to you guys
double the remaining one

shrug
But this has to do with coding in general?
ye
needing to reapply bleeds at the end of vendetta to snapshot is pretty janky gameplay
tbh
well it does if its not supposed to snapshot last second applied bleeds
but i mean thats how exsang works too
i agree its janky
?
but idk
It doesn't though
it doesn't?
that's not how exsang works at all
i thought it snapshots
exsang you press and your bleeds are /2 durations *2 speed
right
Apparently, according to sims, the Faulty Countermeasure trinket are NOICE
so what's the point of doing that
this is you press and your bleeds are /2 durations and *2 speed, and then if you reapply at the end, and it drops, it's still /2 and *2
ig i misunderstood the exsang snap shotting thing this whole time
since i've never used it
even after the exsang drops
other things can extend snapshot tho iirc like feral
but what is the point of snapshotting your existing bleeds with exsang then
they do more dam
twice as fast to the bench
same* damage
twice the speed
Same damage faster
yeh
so it's literally just the mechanic of the ability
is why it's called snapshotting
No
for some reason i thought "snapshotting with exsang" was like some way to do extra damage
than you would by just "using exsang"
exsang would snapshot your haste value
Yes, snapshotting is where you press an ability to get extra value for the entire duration
So if you have a trinket that gives you on use haste for 3s
while normal bleeds work dynamic with haste
You press it, then press exsang
You get that extra haste value for the entire duration of exsang
Not just the 3s
Kinfa similar to like how Nightstalker works where you open from stealth with Rupture
And get a fully nutty rupture
iirc like everything used to snapshot every stat and you could also extend the snapshot so like you could get a crit trinket on warlock and just have a shit ton of crit
correct?
Yes they removed that a long time ago
Yeah, snapshotting used to be much much more populat back in the day
But they moved toward more dynamic gameplay
burning crusade type beat
There are no extra bleed ticks or anything anymore
Nah it was still a thing in cata
Lmao

burning crusade was closer to cata than we are to wod
so
suck my dick eat my ass fondle my balls

I wish man
A full course meal
Stop being in p3 jail

Jesus
Filthy KA
no KA!
I just didnt do rune
Banned
heck
idk if im ever gonna see fatescribe again
Im not sure you realize how fatescribe works
yeah it just threw me off because exsang is just snapshotting your haste or whatever from when you press it, it's just a somewhat diff type of snapshot i suppose
how much difference?
and i've never seen it happen, or used it so i didn't know
yeah exsang is just cursed
I just wanted 1 log then ill hapilly spin runes till 9.2
ye
ive also somehow only killed the boss 3 times
and sylvn 11? or 12
i still have a top 100 on fate which is ok with me for now
lmao
lucky you
dont worry I get the luck back on other bosses
hopefully i can blast up a good sylv parse on monday
duskwalkers on chest gonne be phat
@drifting cloud we're only 7 spots apart
the phattist
come na
Is sub better than assas? Higher dps in st or aoe?
I’m having giga fun with assas but every 1 is sub
depends on what you want to do?
yes to both
They are super close also double mythic dagger is a big question
If you have it then sub might beat ssass on st but yeah
in my guild, we have a 95 sub player, but he cannot beat me in Slyv P3 dmg. never
It’s an alt for now, what’s the reason that can make me go sub
it depends on what you really want. for Slyv, i cannot do too much on chain
What’s the diff
sub can be very versatile in a more intuitive way
however, it does not mean sub is that kind of flexible.
Yeah i should
I’ll play whichever more fun ig
But for raid assas is more dmg right
I mean that’s what i see
they're basically equal in raid
I dont think all 3 specs have ever been as even as they are now
sub does probably have an edge over sin in M+
sin better for prog 
sub gets more cp more easily in M+, while sin should get more energy but not that easily. imagine FoK applies some bleed gives us energy...
but of course, we get more cp with FoK as well, just not that reliable
Honestly when I was playing Assassination it always vexed me that CT didn't give energy like rupture or garrote.
It would be cool if ct had a stacking debuff so if you used it twice back to back it would give two bleed stacks of ct per mob hit etc
It would make CT mandatory for almost any fight as the extra energy regen would be pretty nutty
Yeah, I know, but still the itch is always there. 😛
@balmy condor gratz on Slyv
4 stygian ember
n i c e
grats
put the embers in the bag 

I missed it because I was driving home?
grats whispyr
@balmy condor speech?
I'd like to thank the sidewalk for always keeping me off the streets
@dawn ivy sick lap pace
So true
haha my guild was having a raid discussion so i was just running around looking at journal
so hyped to be in a guild thats sweaty af like me
where O:
Just practice for 10.0 when i go higher
SDS on thrall they were WR 400 or something on ally
pog
@slow marsh isn't root in that guild
oh did your guild transfer to horde recently?
yeah my lack of history since CN was my first tier
thats so cringe
na it's just a rando guild that xferred recently
ikr
thats what i meant
SDS was a transfer from stormrage
yeah
lack of history my dick
i know a few of the raiders from there
there's a couple rogues in there currently but one is a bench player and the other is an ok sub player
sds 
do you know
i know
slavery despair sad
didnt they move again?
spill the beans unless its just memeing
well they're horde now shadow so there's that
yea i meant after thrall
All I know is they killed sylv on stormrage and then xferred horde to thrall
then had to reprog or something
there's some weird story so idk if it's fishy or legit
its always a mix of the two
Like it seems to me like it's a legit story but then they make it seem weird
I just don't want to xfer again and then end up looking for guild again
I got denied from multiple guilds (over 30 guilds) because lack of logs on Rogue (was forced to play Hunter for CN) and my old guild wasnt letting me bring my rogue for reclears after CE to parse. Now I am slamming 90-99s with a normal sylv dagger @slow marsh
Yeah i'm not sweating it
oh they name changed
It was WR 183 guild that denied me cuz no history so it's understandable i guess even though it's still cringe
It's still SDS they just private log so it's hard to find them
yeah that's whwo i was talkin gto
Greatly Exaggerated is their guild now
SDS namechanged after transfer ya
cringe
crazy
weird they are still sds. must've been a split then
You guys are making me sus of this guild i'm joining lol

I can’t even tell you the name of any ability in the last 4 tiers
I can describe what they look like and what they do
got my legendary finally
tru
do what agreon said, not be rude but in that guild range you can hop guilds EXTREMELY quickly the instant you have semi decent logs
idk i mean they're a lot better than my last guild and the other guild i trialed for and got denied so
and you can find your perfect guild
yee
na it's not being rude at all. this my first time really trying to push so idk wtf i'm doing
right now is a really good period to get some 80-90 logs and you can get into a guild whos actually wanting to reach the same goals as you
@arctic walrus
guilds are looking for people right now a few™️ weeks before the patch is coming out
are you new here? we have guides if you need help getting started, can also review logs if you feel yourself struggling
when you say weeks I think you mean months
™️ ™️
why would that be weird
aight investing in being humbled 3 weeks into the tier I see you
we both know you're about to be vengeance dps spec
I already told josh I’m quitting dh
ye my logs are good already i think i just need sylv kill and get my purpy parse for that to seal the deal
Yee my biggest issue is time tbh not parses
and apparently not having pre SL history
!guide
Sup
nice the KT trink is kinda buns lol
yeah :C
!guides
gratz man
op
what do you guys do on balls, just throw up a garrote and rupture?
ok thank you
Is that from the legendary alone or with externals like faerie
you can get more CDR from Obe than 30sec
but idk how that'd pan out for sin idk if it's possible
Yeah but not 50%
Why without vanish
Vanish is pretty important
Ur also not a robot
We have to wait a little bit and see lmao
But yeah sin will probably be pretty good with a better 2 set
Yeah thats always the case
People say shit like that every balance patch
it's not currently
I saw so many people talk about abandoning rogue the day of datamining
Its always stupid to make any conclusions before release candidate
Any definite conclusions*
Sin has 2 decent leggos and so does outlaw
Actually outlaw has a couple
6% 6% isnt tiny compared to most classes its just a little below average
Yeah this is dumb
I was looking through and most classes seem to be hovering in 8-10 range with a few outliers
did they confirm
yes
pog
Also keep in mind that our baseline damage without all this borrowed power is pretty high from 9.0.5 etc
so much copium in here
Its not doomed
it'll at least get buffed hard
Yes I'm sorry to the invisible devs that I always shit on I guess you are the real rogues after all
just remember legion paladin
I think the sub is fine imo
we will never be that
Uhhhh
Uncapped btw
I mean a couple classes could already do over 100k in aoe
I say just throw it all out the window it's the final patch right
Id call it disgusting if Wind Walker wouldnt be like it is right now
So this is my state right now. DS+BS is theoretically better for me. You saying that i should tweak the fight lengths or use EP/MFD for council style fights?
you only play ds bs on guardian
everything else doesn't lend itself useful to it
You’re going to be hard pressed to not EP then Vig or MFD
My ep/MfD sims higher than Bs ds for st now
Same, long live EP/MFD
Link
i got a second edge of night just now 
pandemic 4 pc is fun
Oh I thought your gear would be better then this
Does this mean its confirmed whispyr knows who the blizzard mole is? 
i sim around 11400 with ep/mfd and 11450 with bs/ds
Need phial 😑
I simmed higher than you in 9.0 🙂
why does everyone here play blood elf i stg
cause belf racial is the best
lmao how
I mean yeah crit % but a tiny bit of energy every 2 mins is liek nothing
based
Ive never been belf on rogue actually
idk I used belf like 7 times in mists yesterday
you went to mists, L
yeah fuck me doing content
7 whole times dayam
Mop was bis wdym
exactly, you know what I did yesterday? I farmed sl fishing to 200
yeah and you know what it did, caused us to not wipe
Ouch
SHIIIIIIIT
orc racial
