@strange python what's power if it's not meant to be borrowed

balmy condor
slow marsh
#

It's almost like he posted it or something

balmy condor
#

You think he doesn’t have numbers

gusty mirage
#

The man designed the fucking thing boys kekl

strange python
#

anyone with brain can probably tell that 100% increase on bleeds and poisons is a pretty insane effect lol

slow marsh
#

It's what people initially thought the 4p did

strange python
#

I saw that and instantly thought "Woah that sounds really really strong"

dawn ivy
#

devs dont do sims guys he doesnt know nuffin

versed mica
#

I mean it's not if bleeds and poisons do shit damage

strange python
#

bro

fleet anchor
#

Hide the sims

balmy condor
#

I can’t wait for spec channel degeneracy

#

It’s already begun

#

A Christmas miracle

slow marsh
#

I can't wait to see sepsis inside of shiv

limber lion
#

I'm actually hyped for 9.2 now, fuck

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

Oh, I did not make it work with Sepsis

#

whoops

dawn ivy
#

oh no....anyways

gusty mirage
balmy condor
slow marsh
dawn ivy
#

^^^^^

gusty mirage
#

Ignore NF exists ty

dawn ivy
#

yeah we dont need nf sims

limber lion
#

100% damage increase on sepsis, probs still bad

dawn ivy
#

dont waste your time LOL

limber lion
#

Sadge

dawn ivy
#

nf soulbinds are balanced guys trust

slow marsh
#

I'm pretty sure even if sepsis did literally 50k damage people still would ignore it

limber lion
#

We're dps whores all of us

#

Let's not pretend

slow marsh
#

True

dawn ivy
#

they should remove the stealth bullshit with it

slow marsh
#

K try now

dawn ivy
#

and just make ti do 500k

gusty mirage
urban thistle
strange python
#

exactly

slow marsh
#

Well sepsis condie

versed mica
#

Whi would ever share a covenant with a mothbaby

fleet anchor
#

Not gonna lie

slow marsh
#

Already super buffs sepsis + WPS+ 2p

fleet anchor
#

It still bothers me Sepsis doesn't work with Mastery

#

When it's obviously supposed to be poison damage

gusty mirage
#

Genuine question: Does it bother you that sepsis even made it live?

limber lion
#

It still bothers me that the stealth effect is a thing

slow marsh
#

It bothers me sepsis isn't a 1min cd

limber lion
#

Because it's literally useless

gusty mirage
#

Because it’s such an awkward ability lmao

strange python
#

Sepsis is a really trash tier spell lol

limber lion
#

Sepsis was great for us when it restealthed

balmy condor
#

But 45 second vendetta lines up with sepsis

urban thistle
#

Don't forget slaughter poison

fleet anchor
#

But Sepsis does work with Shiv so I'm gonna assume this works with the AoE shiv too

strange python
#

probably one of the worst covenant spells ever

limber lion
#

Too bad too many whiny boys in the chat got it nerfed

slow marsh
#

Imagine they make sepsis 1min cd and fix the stealth ability to proc stealth talents

urban thistle
limber lion
#

Hate it

fleet anchor
strange python
#

would have been sick build

versed mica
#

As a pvper I was fine with slaughter if it did more damage than normal poisons

urban thistle
#

i really wanted to play shadowdust + MA sepsis

versed mica
#

But it did the exact same damage as shadow

urban thistle
#

but they ended up not letting us do 2 baseline legendaries

#

and that version of sepsis didn't make it to live anyway

balmy condor
#

Zeph planning the long con

slow marsh
#

So now we wait for deathspike + sepsis reworks or what

strange python
#

good one

fleet anchor
#

Ok fixed the Sepsis thing just for science

#

Until we find out otherwise

slow marsh
#

FOR SCIENCE 🧪

limber lion
#

Make sure to equip septic shock

gusty mirage
#

Koji unknowingly giving Cev some serious hopium

urban thistle
#

now make sepsis benefit from mastery and sim niya

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

I do enjoy the fact that Shiv, Zoldyck, Mastery, and Dashing all have totally different poison/nature whitelists

urban thistle
#

yea it's pretty absurd lmao

strange python
#

you guys huff more copium than me in here jesus

Nice of you to join us finally

hollow river

#

🙂

balmy condor
#

If the party just arrived why are the pins already updated

hollow river
#

is it still January before we get to test it?

balmy condor
#

And the sims already run

slow marsh
#

Yeah

balmy condor
dawn ivy
#

yeah sadge

#

still gotta play sub for raidtesting

slow marsh
#

I prefer it that way

fleet anchor
#

Party is over, time to go hype up Outlaw now

obtuse robin
#

still waiting for sepsis sim then its complete

limber lion
#

Yuk

dawn ivy
#

yeah outlaw sounds kinda cool

slow marsh

Waiting for Mystlers sim robot to tell me what to do

slow marsh
#

Yep

dawn ivy
#

kinda sucks the BTE buff almost certainly overwrites

hollow river
limber lion
balmy condor
#

Herodamage combinator

bronze pike
#

atleast the bte is actually free this time

balmy condor
#

And then we update shiv apl

#

And the combinator weeps

gusty mirage
bronze pike
#

no cp pooling, no energy cost, just a 6cp bte baked in pistol shot

limber lion
#

Robot goes pepe_smoke

fleet anchor
#

Just waiting for all the ideas on how we should 200 IQ Shiv

#

"Nah still cast on CD fam"

deft vault
#

hold up the 2pc works on poison too now

balmy condor
scarlet raven
#

Man I had to double check this was the assasination channel

fleet anchor
#

We might update how everything else gets cast AROUND Shiv lol

#

But that's a different issue

limber lion
#

Such a massive cd now

gusty mirage
#

Especially on CD now

fleet anchor
#

This is even more on CD

dawn ivy
#

oh yeah always on cd now

#

but the thing is

#

if we got ct

slow marsh
#

Hard cd now to make it in time for 50s vendetta

fleet anchor
#

Don't wanna waste a second of this buff lol

#

pewpew

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

It's possible

limber lion
#

CT - Shiv everytime

dawn ivy
#

i feel like our envenom uptime is gonna suffer

fleet anchor
#

That's definitely worth checking

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

Envenom uptime will only go down with CT

slow marsh
fleet anchor
#

With non-CT it's about the same

gusty mirage
dawn ivy
#

im assuming with CT

slow marsh
#

CT

fleet anchor
#

Still lots of Envenoms being cast

dawn ivy
#

CT will be cringe

slow marsh
#

Ofc it will

urban thistle
fleet anchor
#

But CT is gonna omega pump in AoE now with the AoE Shiv

urban thistle
#

with duskwalkers would you do 75 second intervals on vendetta and flag just to line up nicely with shiv?

limber lion
urban thistle
#

or do 30 second intervals on shiv

gusty mirage
#

Assassination is going to be the aoe spec now

slow marsh
#

Ye until we realize all the adds are already dead to hunter + ww

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

CT has to tick to do meaningfuldamage

dawn ivy
#

@balmy condor DO SIMS ON WHEN TO SPAM CT NOW

#

SURELY ITS DIFFERENT NOW

gusty mirage
#

Paging @marble hemlock

#

You were right all along old man

#

You knew the light before we did

slow marsh
#

Oxi calling someone old

balmy condor
#

I can’t wait to spend another 30 hours optimizing dslice for tier set

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

Subterfuge + 2nd MA lego + CT + Shiv opener in AoE? ct

limber lion
fleet anchor
#

😛

dawn ivy
#

dont give me hopium

gusty mirage

spark scaffold
fleet anchor
#

May be worth looking at but one of the few advantages of an Exsang mechanic is fitting into damage windows

limber lion
#

Either holding vend or shiv

fleet anchor
#

So you don't really want your Shiv not to overlap with Vendetta

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

But as long as it gets in Vendetta fully it shouldn't matter when

#

Start or end doesn't matter

spark scaffold
#

If your first cast is shiv you get it 5 seconds after it expires on the buffed dots

slow marsh
limber lion
#

Those are fully juiced up snapshot bleeds

fleet anchor
#

That's plausible if they keep the overhang

spark scaffold
urban thistle
# limber lion Yeh we'll have to play around it and see.

For sure. The main thing I'm thinking about is if you shiv at the start of vendetta and right after it, then hold until your next vendetta, assuming around a 65 second interval from duskwalkers. Or if you shiv 3 times per vendetta, and hold flag/vendetta until 75 second intervals to line up with the 3rd shiv

fleet anchor
#

Will need to look at the timing windows to see what the offset ends up being

steep torrent
#

Funny thing is, when you will have 2 piece from the raid, bot not 4p yet, your shiv will be a bigger CD then vendetta

slow marsh
#

I think as long as you shiv on cd then it'll naturally line up for 2 shiv's on vendetta bleeds

limber lion
slow marsh
#

If you vendetta on cd as well

limber lion
#

God I love this

#

Actual content

limber lion
#

Fuck yes

twilit python
#

sin aoe sounds insane now actually

slow marsh
#

Obed is kinda the weird one now

twilit python
#

well probably not insane

#

but significantly stronger

slow marsh
#

Er flag

steep torrent
#

4p is working with necrolord?

limber lion
#

Should do, doesn't yet

gusty mirage
#

It should, that’s the plan at least

Necro in 9.2 for m+ looking fine

#

Yeh

keen mist
twilit python
#

subt garrotes + ct with shiv sounds like it pumps

gusty mirage
#

Welp back into torgies farming renown

urban thistle
#

it's fkin ovah

slow marsh
fleet anchor
#

I mean this is a pretty huge increase to DungeonSlice DPS

limber lion
obtuse robin
#

he is a mage main now nobdy cares

fleet anchor
#

Like for example

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

For ST sims

#

Our DPS basically goes slightly higher than what we have now

#

For DS sims

#

Out DPS goes like...

#

30% higher than now lol

#

But that's assuming the 2pc stays how it is, but it'll certainly change to some degree

slow marsh
#

Ye

fleet anchor
#

Either way the design is good for our AoE

urban thistle
#

yea the design is great

limber lion
#

I love it

bronze pike
#

ya sin tier set is in a nice place

slow marsh
#

I'm v happy they listened to the feedback about the design

gusty mirage
#

Meanwhile outlaw still capped

bronze pike
#

2pc is easily tuneable

gusty mirage
umbral rapids
#

Bruh

slow marsh
urban thistle
#

wht the

strange python
#

ye this sets pretty dope

bronze pike
#

you wont be laughing when i vomit 10000000004569 bullets into dungeon mobs

urban thistle
#

it's kinda funny, this 2 piece makes sin play a lot like sub does

#

1 minute CDs with flag/vendetta, with 30(25) second half CD intervals with shiv

umbral rapids
#

How so

urban thistle
#

instead of flag with every 2nd symbols

umbral rapids
#

Wasn’t that already the case?

urban thistle
#

no? assassination was much more of an "always on" spec, neither vendetta nor shiv windows were large bursts, you just did the rotation and maintained envenom buff for winds damage, and you used 5 ish shivs per vendetta

#

instead of alternating shiv with vendetta/shiv without vendetta

#

like sub does with symbols and flag

strange python
#

yea you're basically just a "do winds spec"

umbral rapids
#

Oh it makes your cds better sure

#

But CD usage wise idk same deal.

urban thistle
#

yea but i mean it specifically makes it a 30 second half CD 1 minute full CD spec

umbral rapids
#

Yeah

urban thistle
#

although it's also possible that you delay vendetta and flag for 75 second intervals to pair with every 3rd shiv

#

depends on how low the intervals get from duskwalkers and obedience

sand sigil
#

if no dbl leggo w/ new changes we still playing doom ya?

#

only dusk w obed + dusk? or no

limber lion
#

Probs Dusk every time.

#

4pc is loaded

#

But who knows honestly.

urban thistle
#

that exact question should be simmable tomorrow

#

once the nightly build goes through

gusty mirage
#

Welcome back to assassination James

#

We’ve missed you

slow marsh
#

Lmao

fleet anchor
#

yeah I dunno I didn't look at single leggo setups just double

limber lion
#

Koji when Sepsis sim

gusty mirage
#

Also thanks for your pov vid on sylv, it helped me prep for my kill

slow marsh
#

I think that it's still obed going into 9.2 without any tier probs

Just please don't spam the thread later with "omg u nerfed us to the ground we were so great on ptr"

slow marsh
#

Ye the design is the important part for sure

Does anyone know if there’s a specific person who writes all the rogue feedback or works on the rogue changes (ie these recent tier set changes)

limber lion
dense herald
#

I’ve played multiple classes and I’ve never seen such good open communication and quick acting on feedback for a class

We're definitely in a good spot and lucky.

Hasn't been the case previously

drifting cloud
#

he said hell nerf rogues for 1% for every ping he gets

dense herald
#

He genuinely needs to be praised, it is honestly really impressive. It’s amazing to hear their reasoning and thought processes behind changes

#

We need this bloke working on other classes

limber lion
#

He does

slow marsh
#

He does work on another class i think

limber lion
#

2 others

#

Anyways

slow marsh
#

We aren't even his first choice and is still good to us

limber lion
#

There's a bunch of devs actively seeking feedback on tier sets

dense herald
#

(I also have no idea if these changes are good or not since I’m new to rogue but still.. they seem to target feedback from what I’ve seen here)

limber lion
#

Yeh, they're great changes

#

We're happy

Ya hecka good changes

I like this more vocal dev staff

do you guys also think that Theotar is also BIS for Assassination as well?

#

or more consistent?

glass tulip
#

according to sims, yes

balmy condor
#

Both

Oh, Dashing finally outsimming Obedience for me now

if anyone asks, I was at your house last night from 8 to 11

got it?!

bleak sky

yes.

I knew I could trust you.

Sims weren't accounting for the natural -2000 dps due to not being able to pool properly

Oh you mean the new 2pc oxi? It's nice i guess. Nice bandaid anyway. Not a big fan of bandaid fixes. Not sure if it'll actually make assa more viable in m+ either, we still won't even be close to ww or mage or warrior burst aoe, and unless you run a more of less sustained aoe comp, i think you'd still rather have the sub rogue prio+st

#

I look at the bonus and see wits 2.0. an ability that fixes most of the issues the spec has in aoe, but overshadowing every other mechanic so much that it almost becomes boring because it is the only thing that matters and allows us to scale.
Very happy about the ongoing communication though, feels incredible to have someone take care of our sets that's invested and reading and engaging with feedback. That by itself makes the game more enjoyable, no matter what the set bonus ends up being.

slow marsh
#

I'm not that big of a fan of band aid fixes either but it was kind of apparent we were going to be getting a somewhat boring set bonus from the get go

fallow otter
balmy condor
#

But I get the sentiment

dawn ivy
#

kinda thought the same lol

#

i kinda like the set, its gonna shake up our talents a little bit

#

thought idk about NS hype 🤮

balmy condor
#

NS?

marble hemlock
#

I think bandaid fixes for the last tier of the expansion are fine

balmy condor
#

NS stands for “No Shot”

#

Cause it ain’t happening

dawn ivy
#

yeah ive never been a fan of NS

marble hemlock
#

But obviously I'm not a big fan of temporary bonuses or rental powers being the sole reason a spec regains viability in a specific content type of environment

dawn ivy
#

subterfuge>MA>Venom Rush> NS

balmy condor
#

Venom rush?

#

That’s a hot take

dawn ivy
#

i just hate NS lmao

#

its never appealed to me

marble hemlock
#

Entire assa talent tree needs a rework

dawn ivy
#

^

marble hemlock
#

With the exception of the survivability row, every row in that tree has big problems

shut garnet
#

wouldnt that also mean the same thing for the other 2 specs?

dawn ivy
#

outlaw is almost fine

marble hemlock
#

No

dawn ivy
#

but sin and sub have severely required talents

marble hemlock
#

Both outlaw and sub are fine. Sub talents need some numerical tuning and ES +1 SHD charge needs to be baseline, but beyond that sub is fine

dawn ivy
#

id say sub is a little worse off in REQUIRED talents than sin, but sin certinaly has alot of dead/boring talents that are basically placeholders

umbral rapids
shut garnet
#

making pb and/or ct baseline sounds pretty good

#

but what else is in raging needs of change?

dawn ivy
#

outlaw has multiple talents rows for throughput that are all fine

marble hemlock
#

most of the assa talents are big ol nothingburgers

shut garnet
#

like whats wrong with first 3 rows f ex?

dawn ivy
#

alacrity row

shut garnet
#

i suppose

dawn ivy
#

exsang literally never used, and venom rush has never been used once

dawn ivy
#

hidden blades is a meme since inception

marble hemlock
#

ns vs subter vs ma is a whatever row. so is pb/ct/hb (in terms of raid/st viability)

umbral rapids
#

But yeah besides last 2 it’s fine i guess

marble hemlock
#

sure, you could say "on a fight with adds playing subterfuge over MA might give you a bit more dps" but is it actually a meaningful choice that will lead to a meaningful difference in dps?

dawn ivy
#

yeah MA row is boring af imo i wish theyd revamp it to actually make them give real through put and not an imaginary throughput increase

shut garnet
#

well it depends, is a meaningful difference in dps like a monk on 5T going from hitcombo to chiji?

marble hemlock
#

same applies to mfd/ds/vigor

dawn ivy
#

3 globals for 50% crit is so fuckin sad LOL

shut garnet
#

like what do u mean by meaningful dps diff

marble hemlock
#

something youll actually see on the meters in a 5min bossfight

#

not like

#

tripling your dps

#

but like

dawn ivy
#

multiple %

marble hemlock
#

being able to at least "notice" that you played different talents

dawn ivy
#

yeah

#

something that might effect your damage breakdown lol

marble hemlock
#

you can play subterfuge on soulrender and triple garrote the adds and even IF they live long enough, you wont be able to tell based on the damage distribution and overall dps, what talents someone played there

umbral rapids
#

How is that good Seli ?
My take is that I like talent rows that reward you adapting to the fight, like MA in this situation is good, Subt is good in this one etc

#

Idk if that’s what you mean

marble hemlock
#

but theyre not good

shut garnet
#

na seli’s right

umbral rapids
#

Oh I agree they’re not

#

That was just an example

marble hemlock
#

you can not play any of these talents and you will barely notice a difference in dps

balmy condor
umbral rapids
balmy condor
#

The fact that MA sims equal to subterfuge

#

In dungeons

#

Is uh

dawn ivy
#

like try to think about how much damage you REALLY gain from 3 globals of 50% crit

balmy condor
#

Kind of lmao

umbral rapids
#

I’m with you on that

#

I think we mean the same thing

marble hemlock
#

you can leave 3 dps-talent rows in assa empty without any talent selected

#

and you probably wouldnt even lose 5% dps

umbral rapids
#

You know what I really like sub’s last row

#

I think the most out of the 3 specs

dawn ivy
#

when you look at other specs (not just rogue) final tree row, theyre normally massive rotational changing/CDR talents

#

and then sin has pb which is like 4% dmaage????

#

doesnt do anything

umbral rapids
#

Bruh outlaw plays blade rush and that’s it lol

shut garnet
#

then sin has CT that if u take for a fight like fatescribe u just dont use on ST cuz its a loss OMEGALUL

dawn ivy
#

wrong

#

blade rush isnt the only choice in that row

shut garnet
#

is it not? kekW

dawn ivy
#

we've seen killing spree used this expac

fallow otter
#

KS

#

Ye

dawn ivy
#

on multiple fights/m+

umbral rapids
#

I used it in 9.0 with MA in dungeons

shut garnet
#

ngl tho ultimately if they were gonna change something id like them to make some things baseline and rly crack down on reworking completely unused talents that just clog the tree atm

umbral rapids
#

This patch we really just play blade rush

shut garnet
#

ideally they just do 1 big rework going into next xpac which would be noce

marble hemlock
#

and lets be real, mp/ep/bs isnt really a meaningful row either

dawn ivy
#

^^^^

fallow otter
dawn ivy
#

i think BS is awesome

#

wish it was a lkittle differen

#

but i love BS

marble hemlock
#

conceptually, sure

#

but its just not meaningful enough of a choice atm?

shut garnet
#

could make the argument that a first row shouldnt be the make or break dps wise as much as last 2, but ye

dawn ivy
#

I give MP a break because i know blizz adds talents to the early rows that are for lazy/new/bad players

faint harness
marble hemlock
#

meaningful choise is running ns+ds as a sub rogue, and getting fewer dances but more powerful ones. thats meaningful choice.

#

the fact it doesnt work rn

#

doesnt change the fact that theres actual meaning behind those choices

#

blindside is a good thing

#

but it suffers from the same issue

#

it just not tuned right

umbral rapids
marble hemlock
#

and sub design space is massively hampered by the fact you cant not play enveloping

faint harness
#

Yea thats the only thing we ever change

dawn ivy
#

hell even MoS in ST is kinda required

faint harness
#

15% dmg amp on dance is not impressive

marble hemlock
#

thats what i meant with ns+ds Kekw

umbral rapids
#

I think seli is saying he wants that

marble hemlock
#

we still used to play

#

ns+dshadows in bfa for prio damage, for example

#

in keys

faint harness
#

Yea when the dance design was completely different

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

thats my point

faint harness
#

And it didnt have 15% baseline dmg

marble hemlock
#

conceptually the choices sub has are much more meaningful

faint harness
#

Idk i think assa has just as many useful talents as sub

umbral rapids
#

They don’t work tho

marble hemlock
#

they just arent meaningful rn, because +1 dance charge is basically required. bit of numbers fidgeting, and they are meaningful again

#

doesnt take much to make the sub talent tree an interesting one

faint harness
#

I swap 1 talent on 99% of content, not sure how thats fine in a talent context

marble hemlock
#

for that to be the case for assa, you need to remove like 6 talents and buff others by 200-500%

umbral rapids
#

Idk, if talents used could be different in different content that’d be cool

shut garnet
#

ye ngl i feel like saying the choice is there but is tuned badly is a bit misleading. technically they could just number tune HB/venom rush/BS/subt into playability in niche situations too

marble hemlock
faint harness
#

Yea but you have subterfuge, MA, blindside, EP, PB and CT that can be used right? I think thats not as bad as you make it sound

marble hemlock
#

conceptually, sub has meaningful choice, its just hampered by ES +1 dance charge and some numbrs tuning being a bit off, but it offers opportunity for high and lowdance uptime gameplay which can be more sustained or more bursty depending on choice. other talents supplement that, or go in different directions with a prio/aoe focus over raw singletarget, for example

#

assa has... well

dawn ivy
#

they have similar problesm, sin has a choice in 100 useless talents so nothing matters in the end, and sub has multiple required talents on many rows so nothign matters in the end

umbral rapids
#

Coz sin has it worse doesn’t mean a spec that swaps one talent is better

marble hemlock
#

i really dont care about which spec has it worse

umbral rapids
#

I get that

marble hemlock
#

its not a competition that sub needs to win

#

so dunno why you guys are making it one

faint harness
#

I mean i agree that DS can work if they do like a complete overhaul of the talent or dance design

marble hemlock
#

b-b-but sub totally has it worse, baka!

dawn ivy
#

like if you look at sin, theres not a single talent that is required to play the class, but sub has 2-3 talents that make it playable because of how impactful they all are

umbral rapids
#

Nah i just feel like talents being good « conceptually » doesn’t do much to the actual gameplay

faint harness
#

Its because you downplay the need for work on the sub talents, and idk, i kinda feel like they need a lot of work

drifting cloud
#

I still remember that venthyr sub sim where you take 3 bad talents and you do like 30% less dmg

#

that just seems so insane

shut garnet
#

all 3 specs could definitely do with some reworks to talents and making things baseline

umbral rapids
#

All 36

#

kek

burnt latch
#

@shut garnet nerd

drifting cloud
#

on assa if you take everything except alac away do you even lose 30%

umbral rapids
#

(Okay no I’m exaggerating)

shut garnet
#

no point prioritising x y z when realistically these would be changes made going into next xpac so theyd likely happen at the same time

#

@burnt latch no u ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

faint harness
#

Yea the talents are bad for almost every spec in this game in one way or another. Blizzard is more worried about creating dopamine machines that last 24 months at a time

burnt latch
marble hemlock
#

1st row is passive damage, passive damage or execute (which is nice conceptually but badly tuned rn)
2nd row is 3 talents around vanish, none of which are meaningful in a raid environment due to numbers tuning. only meaningful one is subterfuge because it allows for triple garrote in aoe, giving you a faster ramp
3rd row is 3 nothingburgers
4th row is great
5th row is great
6th row is 2 useless talents and a good one (which is passive again)
7th row is an ability that needs to be baseline, and 2 abiltiies that give you 2-3% damage, and are again just passive damage increases

faint harness
#

Blizzard like some to have just passive dmg

#

Cus its ”easy talents”

#

Which idk, seems to be a design goal of theirs

marble hemlock
#

and when i say "meaningful choices", then there really is none in assa. i cant just change my gameplay based on my talent choice. ill still press the same buttons in the same order, at most i change my damage distribution by 1-2% one way or another

dawn ivy
#

honestly alacrity is the vlosest talent sin has to a required talent

#

and thats not because of how good it is, but how bad the other two are

shut garnet
#

given which other 2 are in that row, might as well call it mandatory

burnt latch
#

Cheat death is the only required talent for sin prove me wrong

dawn ivy
#

exactly

shut garnet
#

cuz ur not under any circumstance taking exsang or vr lmao

faint harness
#

Yea i mean i get that dark shadow COULD offer more burst, but even in a perfect world where its played, its not like it would be insane, it’s 15% more than ES

shut garnet
#

maybe if ur on some 100% pi uptime crack for a meme log

marble hemlock
#

so if it was 25% instead of 15%

#

which is just numbrs tuning

#

it still wouldnt be a meaningful choice?

limber lion
dawn ivy
#

yeah

faint harness
#

Still needs another charge too

#

But ye

marble hemlock
#

idk how thats even worth debating. choosing between fewer but more powerful dances, or more regular but less impactful ones, is meaningful choice.

faint harness
#

No I agree

#

But it’s not even close to that arm

#

Atm

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

cause ES is just

#

ridiculous

#

if it was just CDR

#

vs DS damage amp

#

would be a different story

#

but the +1 charge is just

shut garnet
#

yo dont say that instead of buffing DS they’ll just nerf ES

hey guys, im having trouble hitting 1.2k dps on the mage tower challenge. I'm assuming its a skill issue, and not a gear issue but here is my gear regardless

shut garnet

LOL

marble hemlock
#

exsang shouldnt even exist, simply because it basically requires either subter or NS to even have a difference

Lies meev can prove that i once got a r1 parse with exsanq but log got corrupted

Buff exsang

Exsanq is hidden meta

from the shit

Trinkets probably need some help

#

Tbh

faint harness

What if they would slap like 100% more damage on the bleeds in exsang

pallid bough
#

no iron dragon is good

with the cog gems

balmy condor

Is it

I haven’t seen anyone use it

its big

marble hemlock
rain kettle

its got +12 gems in it

pallid bough
#

I would get Emerald Nightmare trinket

#

from first boss

#

btw

rain kettle
#

+24 haste and +12 verse

burnt latch
#

Does the gear scale up? Cuz ur running items below ilvl 50

pallid bough
#

its a 1 min cd

burnt latch
#

Dont know how that works

balmy condor
#

Then it’s probably not gear tbh

pallid bough
#

with haste static stat

balmy condor
#

You’re geared to the teeth

rain kettle
#

just making sure lol

marble hemlock
#

problem with exsang is that its only value is in giving you more unbuffed dot-ticks, and assa only having 1 way (vanish) to buff bleeds

balmy condor
#

That’s a ton of sockets

limber lion
shut garnet
#

thing is exang feels like one of those talents that isnt as dependant on number tuning (unless ur buffing it by some insane multiplier or adding shit to it obvs) and more dependant on “scalling” and borrowed power. which just feels like dogshit

rain kettle
#

im a pvp andy so my rotation is not good i feel

#

thanks

faint harness
pallid bough
#

@rain kettle get the pod trinket from Emerald Nightmare first boss, it is exception especially over badge

shut garnet
#

cuz if the borrowed power is on the level of corruption and ur running around with 80% unbuffed haste its all good

balmy condor
shut garnet
#

but the second it isnt, its unplayable

pallid bough
#

@rain kettle just do the first boss on Normal, Heroic and Mythic

#

its a 1 min cd

#

haste static stat

#

and gives you leech

#

and drops a pool

dawn ivy
#

never forget blizzard specificlaly mentioned a talent surrounding shiv/toxic blade and then just threw alacrity at us and ran

pallid bough
#

you stack all 3 of them together

rain kettle
#

ok yeah that sounds good

pallid bough
#

and then use that shit

marble hemlock
#

if you exsang a 20tick NS rupture, itll still only be 20ticks. just faster. only thing you actually gain, is that some of these ticks might be within another overlap of CDs, like with BoTE in BFA, and you get a few more unbuffed rupture ticks because you get to refresh it faster

pallid bough
#

it does BIG damage

#

like... stupid high damage

#

but could also be your talents tbh, what are you running with? @rain kettle

limber lion
#

I just honestly want to see a massive reduction in aura buffs and more buffs tailored toward bleed/poison damage, including a better talent tree. But, a man can dream, it's never gonna happen.

pallid bough
#

Cev didnt you retire bro

limber lion
#

Aura buffs are the laziest way to buff a spec up

pallid bough
#

smh

umbral rapids
#

That prob only happens in new xpac tbh

limber lion
marble hemlock
#

idk. i dont mind alacrity. i like the idea of us starting a bit slower, and as we continue attacking a target (or the same target) we start to deal more damage and do it faster

shut garnet
#

ye ngl hot take but thats whats at least slighly refreshing about the 4pc, not just slapping bleeds, pressing vendetta then ook ooking mut mut env for 20 seconds

marble hemlock
#

its just not tuned in a way that it really represents that idea

faint harness
limber lion
#

No

pallid bough
faint harness
#

It’s an oppressive talent

marble hemlock
#

imo it should be stronger, longer duration, but reset on target swap, for example

pallid bough
marble hemlock
#

the reason you cant swap out of it

rain kettle
#

its just i went from one shotting the feral challenge to really struggling on this guy lol

marble hemlock
#

is cuz venomrush and exsang are both useless

rain kettle
#

but feral is my actual main so

pallid bough
#

triple bleed everything

#

if you arent making damage check, its because you have Sigryn cc'd all the time

#

you dont do that

marble hemlock
#

theres fight and dungeons where i loathe playing alacrity

pallid bough
#

you only interrupt her cast with blind

marble hemlock
#

i still do cuz the other 2 are basically 0dps

pallid bough
#

but reapply dots immediately

#

I had to do that

balmy condor
#

Ngl I don’t even think about alacrity

rain kettle
#

yeah i grab her after blind immediately

marble hemlock
#

i stopped giving a shit about it running out on sylv p2

pallid bough
#

hmm idk then

balmy condor
#

People were like yo during painsmith get cp on orbs for alacrity and I just like

#

Don’t care

rain kettle
#

like i have the mechanics down pretty much i just need to get my uptimes better i bet

marble hemlock
#

ye

pallid bough
#

I would have to watch it or something to understand what you are doing wrong then @rain kettle

faint harness
#

Venom rush should have been removed years ago

pallid bough
#

because it seems like you are doing everything correctly

#

esp if you follow Whisypr's guide

marble hemlock
#

its a set and forget talent, but not because its so good. it kinda isnt. its just the other choices are worse. but losing your alac isnt really a big dps loss either

pallid bough
#

and with cracked gear like that

rain kettle
#

im betting missing globals and bad uptimes

dawn ivy
#

venom rush should be like fucking 20 energy

marble hemlock
#

venom rush shouldve remained what it was

#

VW giving more energy

pallid bough
#

ahh

limber lion
#

Alacrity is a boring talent

pallid bough
#

^

limber lion
#

But VR is legitimately the worst designed talent in thw entire game

pallid bough
#

Alacrity on Sub rogue KEKWLaugh

marble hemlock
#

alacrity should be a pure st talent, that resets when you attack a different target

It's so awful

It's the laziest thing ever

tied with chiji

replace Alacrity with Anticipation

Who thought that a talent which causes our mutilate to cost 8 less energy would br any good

pallid bough
#

that should be in Vigor row

#

Idk

#

some intern

marble hemlock
#

exsanguinates entire usefulness relies on other things that make it better, because by itself its a useless talent.
