keep your hp above 0 while bringing the boss hp to 0

subtle tundra
#

I got like 14 score yesterday dumbo

#

Fake fan

bleak sky
#

Too busy with poe to pay attention to the homies

subtle tundra
#

Poe this league

#

Boring

vestal wren
#

you need some more score to beat ivazz

subtle tundra
#

Well I won't play much in the next month

vestal wren
#

exam season?

ebon notch
#

They have to try rekill jailer

subtle tundra
vestal wren
#

well good luck for that 👍

subtle tundra
#

Amen

drifting cosmos
#

Just need to come back in that one push week to get all the io 👍

subtle tundra
#

@ebon notch if you want I can kinda explain how we bugged jailer

#

How I understood it

fallow otter
#

Differently to the regular bug?

subtle tundra
#

There are some conditions and spell queuing fucks it

ashen scroll
#

Varas, I noticed you play venth in keys when you play sin, is it just slamming bosses compared to necro?

#

i wanna start doing more sin keys, sub is boring

subtle tundra
#

Yea boss dps

#

But necro good too

ashen scroll
#

Where outlaw 👀

#

xd

subtle tundra
#

Fuck outlaw played enough s1 for a life time

#

And I didn't even play much

fallow otter
#

It's some mage venthyr shenanigans isn't it, with door and a conduit? @subtle tundra

#

Or you guys did something different

subtle tundra
#

It's way more conditions

#

Well like 3 more

ebon notch
#

Could you link me?

subtle tundra
willow kite
#

Would you always run subterfuge for m+?

bleak sky
#

yes

glad siren
#

in keys is there ever a point where the 272 daggers will out dps the heroic EON?

bleak sky
#

eon is pretty trash in keys

#

does nothing in aoe

ashen scroll
#

ye, i use non EON daggers in keys as sin

#

as sub you still use it tho

vestal wren
#

assassination in general replaces sylvanas daggers quite early

shy axle
#

hey guys, just came back and still a little bit overwhelmed. I read that assa is the best St specc ( even for more idk right now) with Venthyr. The spreadsheet in assa faq seems to show NF is better, what am i missing?

zinc frost
#

The info will be out of date if it’s the spreadsheet in the faq. Venth sims very much ahead of NF

#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
shy axle
#

ok thank you

#

that one here is up to date then?

zinc frost
#

Those are the up to date sims

shy axle
#

ok thank you

#

i am playing sub for eevrything right now, did many people switch to assa for the raid or is it more boss to boss switchero things? Idk how that all plays out in reality

zinc frost
#

Well sub was very strong at the start of the tier, assa has caught up with tier set, more gear etc. both very close in ST to play either though.

trim cairn
#

Play sub if you want to have excess capacity to do other stuff than your rotation like make calls etc, if you want more engaging ape gameplay then play sin and force ur healer or tank to make calls

shy axle
#

what makes assa more engaging? would have thought the opposite

blazing pumice
#

cuz it's not sub

vestal wren
#

assassination is at least as good as sub in the raid

#

so just play whatever you like more, it comes down to taste

steel ridge
#

with halondrus not dogding melee attacks, we have more instant poison daamge, right?

#

so in theory poison bomb should be better for that fight with more envenoms and in consequence more poison procs, or is that not the case?

vestal wren
#

you can sim it

#

put auto_attacks_always_land=1 under custom apl

steel ridge
#

oh nice

#

well its not a big difference, but its something xD

scarlet sequoia
#

vigor WEIRDChamp

steel ridge
#

vigor is life

#

its just what i am used to, might try deeper on sunday tho

bleak sky
#

deeper?

steel ridge
#

nightfae

bleak sky
#

it's mfd

#

oh

#

isn't nf supposed to play subterfuge?

steel ridge
#

subterfuge sims slightly ahead

#

like 20 dps or something

bleak sky
#

also why nf

scarlet sequoia
#

feel like playing vigor when mfd sims more than 500 dps better is a bit of a bad idea

bleak sky
#

venthyr is just the better choice

steel ridge
#

actually subterfuge sims slightly lower

steel ridge
#

besides, nightfae is probably better for the task´s i am told to do in my raid

bleak sky
#

...damage?

steel ridge
#

ritualist, schematics

#

the amount of damage sepsis delivers in short timeframes is insane

scarlet sequoia
#

those are the tasks everyone has

bleak sky
#

also nf on pantheon very weird choice

steel ridge
#

yeah well, tell me about it

#

i would go necro if i wasnt on rituatlist duty

scarlet sequoia
#

some guilds never fail to amaze me

steel ridge
#

what am i to do, the whole fight falls apart as soon as i dont blast that add

scarlet sequoia
steel ridge
#

maybe they became too reliant on that after a few tries

oak sky
#

I dont even cd the add usually

scarlet sequoia
#

i dont even touch it

#

it dies to cleave

oak sky
#

Some of us get assigned to a far add

steel ridge
#

our warlock even said "do i even need to touch the ritualist, nerazar is just murdering it alone"

scarlet sequoia
#

truly unfortunate

oak sky
#

It doesnt matter that much you can get pretty decent logs even if youre hitting a far add

steel ridge
#

so i just take that compliment and move on with my life

limber lion
oak sky
#

It is what it is boss dies i guess

steel ridge
#

not like it matters anyway, yeah

limber lion
#

Warlock loses nothing from cleaving off of it, in fact it's either 100% free for Demo or literally just extra funnel/overall dps for the Affli

steel ridge
#

the boss dies, when the ritualists die

limber lion
#

You should just play Necrolord, it's really good for add-swapping and cleaving add-spawns.

scarlet sequoia
#

we have boomies kill them

#

melee one gets cleaved

limber lion
#

Using Sepsis on the add is just omega overkill

scarlet sequoia
#

rest ranged kill

steel ridge
#

so i just overkill it and move on

oak sky
#

Not everyone cares about their logs

bleak sky
#

and you don't play subterfuge on pantheon either?

bleak sky
oak sky
#

Its really up to how much you care

limber lion
#

Yes, completely killing your potential (boss) dps throughout the fight is just unnecessary, logs or no logs.

oak sky
#

A lot of people dont even care to learn their class properly or guilds like mine wouldnt even need melee swapping to adds

steel ridge
#

where did this whole argument even come from guys, i was just wondering if poison bomb was better for halondrus xD

limber lion
#

Warlocks literally either gain dps or don't lose any dps from cleaving the adds, it's completely unnecessary for them not to blast the ritualist

steel ridge
#

i am in a casual mythic guild, what does it even matter

oak sky
#

If you play nf pretty sure its just subt deeper pb all the time

#

Ct for cleave

oak sky
#

Is ct better on everything now

#

Havent really been paying attention to other covenants

steel ridge
#

yeah CT is better in theory

limber lion
#

Pretty much

#

CT is either better or marginal with PB

#

Without losing any value, compared to PB losing value from movement/procs

steel ridge
#

i was just wondering IF halondrus is a case of poison bomb being actually ahead

#

and it is by 2 dps

#

😄

limber lion
#

It's not though

#

because it assumes you get full value out of the poison bombs, which you likely won't

#

PB is still dependent on RNG, whereas CT is not

#

But in all honesty, it does not matter which one you choose

#

If you want to kill the boss, play the one that makes you more comfortable

scarlet sequoia
#

but you definitely dont play vigor

limber lion
#

yeh

#

that's super int

steel ridge
#

😄

oak sky
#

"Comfort" just like all the anti mfd bozos in sod i guess

#

This tier will show them

scarlet sequoia
#

but its like saying u play venom rush and master poisoner cus youre used to it

steel ridge
#

comfort is a heavy drug

scarlet sequoia
#

just makes no sense

#

something is 500+ dps better

#

u should prob play it

oak sky
#

Like youre right but who cares what some other random does

limber lion
#

you'll never get used to playing other talents

scarlet sequoia
#

just trying to understand the thought process

limber lion
#

if you never play them

oak sky
#

The thought process is "dont like change"

limber lion
#

of course you're comfortable with one set of talents if you've played with them for 2 years straight

#

never changing a talent

oak sky
#

The ideal sin player doesnt like change

#

Because the spec never changes

limber lion
#

ideal

scarlet sequoia
#

huh

limber lion
oak sky
#

Typical

#

Ideal

#

Same shit

limber lion
#

it's not

scarlet sequoia
#

the spec has changed a lot

limber lion
#

not even close

scarlet sequoia
#

wym

limber lion
#

also

#

the spec is super duper different

oak sky
#

Ok argue with me on my word choice

limber lion
#

than it was in CN

oak sky
#

Great hill to die on

steel ridge
#

i love how this discord always escalates every conversation 😄

limber lion
#

There's people who don't want to play the current spec because it's too difficult

#

even though it was considered the easiest spec the previous 2 patches

#

lol

oak sky
#

Yep you're right its very different right now, I was just referencing the fact that sin hasnt generally changed a lot in the past few.... expansions

odd heath
#

The spec is really very different from past patches.

scarlet sequoia
#

no spec has changed much

oak sky
#

I, too have played with the 4p

scarlet sequoia
#

sub is the same as it has been since legion

#

minus dfa

limber lion
#

Yeah, that's the entire thing about specs and classes

#

they are the same

odd heath
#

The core of the spec is the same

scarlet sequoia
#

they havent rly done any major class changes since wod -> legion

limber lion
#

they work around a certain niche usually

#

just slapping in borrowed power here and there

#

and that's it

odd heath
#

Rotation changes with borrowed power

#

And that's it

scarlet sequoia
#

sub has been ss ss evis ss ss evis since legion

#

assa is keep ur bleeds up

#

and envenom if u can

crystal glen
#

How many stacks do you normally get on flag in ST? I have a hard time reaching more than ~22 stacks

odd heath
#

28+

slim wagon
crystal glen
#

Ye just not very used to it yet - mainly play sub just trying to get better at assassination as well

#

Think I just gotta stay at a dummy a bit to get it more consistent xD

steel ridge
#

the most important part is to start flag with 4 or 5 cp

#

and a bit of energy^^

crystal glen
#

You’ll always start with flag - finish - MFD - finish right?

steel ridge
#

yep

steel ridge
#

does assa finish at 4cp with deeper strategem or mutilate again?

sonic schooner
#

The rule Is max or -1 of max cp

#

Whatever how many combo point u have

steel ridge
#

kk

brazen zodiac
#

shit maybe it is time

bleak sky
#

yep

brazen zodiac
#

didnt kill pantheon so no 2 vaults sad

#

1% zzz

#

how we one shot it last week but this week nobody target add :(

gusty mirage
violet jackal
#

Killing it once means boss is on farm time to parse peophammer

brazen zodiac
#

yeah it was gonna be my 99 too

#

but the vault sir :(

#

parses are meaningless, a shot at 278 phial then the rush of disappointment is the real rush tbh

west karma
#

guys this is maybe a dumb question but anyone know why fan of knives sometimes only gives me 1 cp against multiple targets? isn't it supposed to give me atleast 5 cp if i'm hitting 5 targets? thanks

balmy condor
#

Fan of knives is 1cp + 1cp per crit

#

Shuriken storm on sub is 1 cp per target Hit

west karma

#

@balmy condor are you no longer raiding?

balmy condor
#

I am benched for anduin amd Lords Because rogue is a shit ass class

#

And they killed anduin yesterday

ebon notch
#

how low did they get lords

balmy condor
#

Let me check

violet jackal
#

where the trackmania gameplay then with raid comms as background noise Macky

@balmy condor wanna do lords

scarlet sequoia
#

if u play to do as much damage as possible on anduin like other classes at the top do u can do the same amount

#

unless u play assa obv

balmy condor
vestal wren
gusty mirage
#

You can do as much damage as a destro lock on anduin?

#

No shot

balmy condor
#

Its about having a winners mentality oxi

scarlet sequoia
#

last time i played sub on anduin i ended top damage

#

we did skip an add phase tho

#

so might be that

#

or well not a whole phase but 1 add wave in 2nd intermission

gusty mirage
#

Because looking at logs after Wednesday I wanted to jump into a river

#

I’ve never felt so useless

scarlet sequoia
#

think rogue is fine on every boss tho

balmy condor
#

My destro lock said my funnel was crazy on lihuvim

gusty mirage
#

Oh for sure, rogues fine on andy

#

But not particularly great

scarlet sequoia
#

kidney is nice

#

for the fear adds

gusty mirage
#

Ye prey is giga for it

balmy condor
#

And then we pulled up logs, and he did more damage to lihuvim during his Rain of fire on the adds

gusty mirage
bleak sky
scarlet sequoia
#

an add wave

#

not a whole phase

bleak sky
#

had a skill crisis right there

nvm figured it out

tropic oar
#

am i just unlucky or is it just really hard to get decent agi daggers fast

fleet anchor
#

If it weren't for the intermission damage amp

#

Rogue would be an A++ class on Anduin

#

But we just can't at all take advantage of it the same way a lot of specs can

sour wraith
gusty mirage
#

Yeah outside of intermission

#

We’re more than fine

fleet anchor
#

Even mechanically if the intermission didn't have a damage amp we'd probably not even be that poor either

gusty mirage
#

Just sad how far we fall off because of damage amps lol

vestal wren
#

how long was the damage amp on sludge?

sour wraith
#

10ish seconds?

fleet anchor
#

But it is funny like

#

On our kill I was 2nd in damage in P2

#

3rd in P1 and P3

#

End the fight second to last overall 👌

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

Rogues have good utility on the fight, handle all the other phases well. Good CC for caster adds, Crippling helps downstairs, immunity for P3, good survivability.

#

But end up trash just because of intermission damage amp

bleak sky
#

anduin damage is good

#

but then this happens KEKL

Man I can only imagine what Balance Druid damage on the boss would be if they didn’t adjust things from last tier lol

#

Just stack 4 Balance Druids and push him straight to P3 in first intermission 🤣

void needle
#

Heya, can we reduce flag cd to less than a minute? I'm switching to using tea time and it's got that 1 min internal cd but doesn't apply a debuff and want to make sure I'm getting every proc. Alternatively, anyone got a good weakaura for the tea time internal CD?

bleak sky
#

don't use tea time

brazen zodiac
#

sup minal

bleak sky
#

sup vita

brazen zodiac
#

whts popin

void needle
#

It's a dps increase for the raid overall isn't it?

sour wraith
timid cloud
#

No. You only do tea time for super situational M+ burst comps where you’re not the main character, but you still need to be there.

#

Raid overall though.

#

But really though, you need to play for yourself.

lethal magnet
#

how big of a difference is duskwalkers vs zoldyks for lords? logs seem to favor zoldyk a lot

void needle

prisma monolithBOT

#

Losing a potency is not worth it, but at the same time, you shouldn’t even be playing Theotar if there’s any sort of movement. I think the sims account for more shade than is realistic in a fight, last time I checked.

void needle
#

Fair enough, I'll switch over to nad instead then

nova flax

#

Does anyone have a link to the updated pandemic wa's that got linked a while ago?

harsh anchor
#

do you mean cevs wa

amber fossil
#

I know we are supposed to switch to Subt with 4pc, but I am doing more damage on a dummy with MA still

#

as Necro

violet jackal
#

Not sure about suppose to switch, Subtley was very far ahead assuming you had 2 mythic Sylvannas daggers, early in the tier. Now that item level is catching up assassination is pulling ahead ever so slightly

amber fossil
#

the top dog logs are about 50-50 between MA and Subt tho

violet jackal
#

Oh you meant talents

#

That’s covenant based

amber fossil
#

ya talents

violet jackal
#

Necrolord prefers master assassin

amber fossil
#

52% to 48% in my ilvl, logs are Necro only

#

not arguing, just trying to fig it out

violet jackal
#

Some people might of just read guides and made assumptions and never bothered to aim their own talents.

Everytime I simmer my talents master assassin came out ahead

amber fossil
#

ok, ima run a sim now

#

hmm, +14 with subt

#

I kept vigor cause deeper makes me feel starved

violet jackal
#

Mmmm that might affect the choice

amber fossil
#

it might also be I am doing lower on the dummy cause it's difficult to unlearn the muscle memory of MA after using it all this time

#

so rotation is prob not at its peak

#

with Subt, that is

misty holly
#

SBS to build cheap combo points and get Ruptures out helped a lot.

#

On the other covenants if you find yourself out of energy and out of combo points it can be a long wait to get things happening

amber fossil
#

I can see how sbs would help

#

maybe its just my rotation then

bleak sky
#

You should never be starved in a dungeon because you have many targets to get regen from

amber fossil
#

I mostly raid

#

but I see your point

#

apprec the input guys

#

on paper, DS prob makes the 4pc set bonus less chance to drop bleeds

#

all sounds good, I will try it again

bleak sky
#

Oh you meant 14 dps

amber fossil
#

yes, it would prob be more if I simmed DS, too

#

14 isnt all that big of a reason to switch tho

#

without switching DS too

bleak sky
#

The problem with Necro is the legendary is kinda useless in single target

#

Have you tried out venthyr?

amber fossil
#

no I havent

bleak sky
#

Should be the go-to pick

amber fossil
#

bones is really fun

bleak sky
#

Fair

amber fossil
#

yup I know its best for meters, but I chose fun

bleak sky
#

Yeah keep at it, have fun

amber fossil
#

apprec the feedback

#

with MA, are we using ambush after vanish or still mut?

bleak sky
#

mut

violet jackal
#

if you have 5 combo points after the vanish could also hit a fatty envenom

placid dawn
#

is there a setting that makes the shadow wall on anduin easier to see?

blazing pumice
#

turn your monitor on

#

you can try inky black potion but the walls are incredibly easy to see anyway

#

blasphemy is worse

placid dawn
#

maybe im blind, i can see blasphemy easily but the wall is sometimes super hard to see

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

it's just an open eyes type deal

true tusk
#

Zoldyck its better for Lords, right? But in which piece should I create it

zinc frost
#

Feet is fairly solid choice

true tusk

Legs are behind head by about 50 DPS for me

So.... That's cap.

monkahmm it is like it depends on what gear you have

did someone say hidden blades Sinscheme

pastel onyx
#

I think I read somewhere that we use mutilate over ambush from stealth right?

#

whats the logic behind it

#

that we hit it with both hands?

zinc frost
#

With MA window, mutilate generates more CP

#

Good CP gen into a garrote gives us a juicy flagellation window

viscid spear

ok, makes sense

rotund oak
#

isnt there a WA for iqd that tracks the circulation like cache?

crystal glen
#

IQD don’t circle - there’s one that warns you when it’s gonna heal/give mana and you can get rid of the execute by /clear target /use 13 /targetlasttarget

#

It only taunts if you have a dead tank

rotund oak
#

what is the WA that warns u its gonna heal/give mana

#

and how to avoid that when we are about to press our cds

crystal glen
#

You can’t - prey that your boomie innervates the low mana healer just before you press it xD

rotund oak
#

so its a simbat

#

cringe

crystal glen
#

It’s good in m+ ^^

rotund oak
#

cant argue to that 😛

crystal glen
#

Often you’ll miss a use especially on long raid fights

rotund oak
#

jsut had a 278 iqd on my GV was kinda happy with the assumption i could track it

#

yeah thats normal,happens with all trinkets

crystal glen
#

Or if you CD during a high damage phase it might just heal someone

rotund oak
#

yeah

#

thats not ideal

#

unless u aim for lego heal parse

crystal glen
#

Miss a use as in a healer will eat it or a dps eats the heal effect xD

rotund oak
#

gotcha yeah

#

was thinking of it jsut now

#

so on a 5min+ fight if u miss one

#

it basicly becomes worse than sigil

crystal glen
#

If you loose a stat buff then yes

rotund oak
#

so,im already inclined for sigil

#

f this trinket rly

crystal glen
#

Used it all of last patch as boomkin and just decided never to use that shit again xD

rotund oak
#

yep aint happening ill either sahrd it or vendor it

#

should have gone with a socket instaed,wasted my GV

#

Is assa worth it in M+?

craggy oak
#

Define worth it

#

If you want to work overly hard for minimun reward, and generally underpeform next to most other specs, but still it enjoy it

#

Then yes it is worth

subtle tundra
#

i wanted to see what trinkets other people play in m+ lol but im the only one playing it :((

craggy oak
#

The only key i will play sin in is top.

#

I genuinly think it is better than sub in that key

subtle tundra
#

you wrong

#

but fine 🙂

craggy oak
#

But how is it now

subtle tundra
#

i can tell you its better than you think

craggy oak
#

Vendetta on every big guy

#

Like where do you want or need sub over sins st in that dungeon

#

Please explain

subtle tundra
#

too lazy

solid mica
#

The ppl need to know

bleak sky
#

retire varas

subtle tundra
#

NO.

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

bleak sky
#

also new warlock

subtle tundra
#

he aint new

bleak sky
#

you had another guy

nova flax
#

Sin is better on the first boss probably

#

And might do a bit more ST. But sub brings massive gorechop funnel and much more trash damage

subtle tundra
bleak sky
#

fuck you

craggy oak
#

Too clarify @subtle tundra you are saying sub, is better in top, than sin?

subtle tundra
#

nope

craggy oak
#

Then why are you saying im wrong...

#

Re read what i put

subtle tundra
#

im in key

#

cant type

kindred heron
serene gull
#

So, would it be fair to say playing ass in keys is high effort low reward, compared to say Sub?

bleak sky
#

yes

kindred heron
#

For sure

echo geyser
#

At least u can type in discord while playing keys on sin happy_holiday_pepe

echo geyser
#

kermit_pepe we love that

subtle tundra
#

yea halls fortified is a bp spam dungeon

#

we love those

blazing pumice
#

are you guys running zold or dusk on fort

#

trying to ween myself off sub for top

echo geyser
#

I wanna say dusk or die, but dont listen to me i played not even 10 keys as sin

blazing pumice
#

I kept vanishing with garrote on cd in a top 26 so

vestal wren
#

dusk sims highest in slice for all covenants

blazing pumice
#

by a big margin?

#

feels like it would be less good with urh

echo geyser
#

Why

violet jackal
#

Uh it even better with urh

storm onyx
# blazing pumice by a big margin?

With dusk, you have Vendettta up each pack, you funnel the prio target each pack. With uhr you even get more uptime. Dont get hold on overall dmg much

blazing pumice
#

I dunno, not a sin in keys expert, my feelcrafty just makes me think that you would be potentially holding off c/d vendetta longer with dusk + urh

echo geyser
#

Also are u playing sin for mega giga aoe

#

Or st

violet jackal
#

With a minute of not less cooldown with urh never hold just send it

echo geyser
#

Isnt dusk like 6-8% more st over zoldycks?

#

Or is it even higher

violet jackal
#

Somewhere in that 6-8 range took a glance at herodamage

#

pretty close in dslice for me, 0.5% increase using duskwalker

storm onyx
#

but they do very different things, you cant compare it in dslice

blazing pumice
#

ye that's fine, I'll just use dusk in future

subtle tundra
#

if youre gonna play zold, might aswell spec sub

blazing pumice
#

necro sub tho

storm onyx
#

if dmg is that close in dslice. it actually means you have swapped bulk of dmg from group execute to st on prio, and yea; what Varas said

vestal wren
#

necro sub or kyrian sin

subtle tundra
#

i mean, i havent tried zoldyck so i cant say how much worse it actually is

blazing pumice
#

first time doing a proper key as sin, pretty sure I wasn't getting high value vendettas

#

kek

#

also it's sanguine so mobs are doing laps

subtle tundra
#

if youre gonna ignore vendetta target in aoe, then zoldyck would be better

storm onyx
#

as you said; you are holding the cd a bit much maybe

#

Also, with Zold; if there are other execute classes; you are actually getting shorter dmg windows

blazing pumice
#

I don't think destro or surv have any significant execute?

#

if anything it feels like their damage is front loaded

storm onyx
#

destro has shadowburn?

echo geyser
#

Sin finally has something it does better than sub and u kinda make it weaker if u dont play dusk

#

Thats my take

storm onyx
#

hunter has something i dont knwo

blazing pumice
#

they have kill shot

#

but I don't think it does much of their overall

vestal wren
#

Sin finally has something it does better than sub and u kinda make it weaker if u dont play dusk
looks at 2/3 target cleave 🙈

blazing pumice
#

well that is the intention for playing it in top

fair vector
#

In M+ with a pack of 3 or more mobs once you pop vendetta are you swapping off that target to apply bleeds or waiting for vendetta to drop and only dpsing the vendetta mob?

blazing pumice
#

you have to mouseover

storm onyx
vestal wren
#

i am quite excited for 10.0

#

because it offers the option to re-design classes

#

so that big deficits in what should be baseline for each spec can be fixed

echo geyser
#

Spec removal only classes kekdog

blazing pumice
#

legit want this

#

would make balancing so much better if every class was 2 specs

#

instead of having the 30something specs currently in the game

#

sub and sin are basically the same fantasy

storm onyx
#

ahaha, global spec removal after ppl were complaining ability prune messed the game and Dhs dreaming of a 3rd.. that sounds interesting

storm onyx
#

they somewhat swapped how they behaved around a patch i forgot when

blazing pumice
#

so many dumb specs could be pruned, bm, fury, elemental, unholy, feral, sub, destro, arcane, mistweaver, ret

and Shiv...

#

hey man sub got rupture back right? or was that a patch in SL

vestal wren
#

so iconic that blizz decided to change #assassination so you don't need to press it

#

rupture and early nightblade are very similar

gusty mirage
#

Oh wait

vestal wren
#

yep

#

but we can pickpocket squeaky bats

gusty mirage
#

HUGE

#

Rogues got scammazed

#

We got a maintenance spell no one wanted

#

Utility that’s half assed in shiv

#

And removal of all our borrowed power that made us great

#

But at least they kinda fixed sub, until 9.2 but hey that’s a step in the right direction

vestal wren
#

i don't mind shiv

gusty mirage
#

It’s not dead in the water anymore and I appreciate that

vestal wren
#

i just don't think anything that was unprouned was exciting

gusty mirage
#

Tying a soothe to a 25s cd is kinda cringe

vestal wren
#

preperation was a iconic spell

having soothe attached to your damage amp is very cringe

#

why did they not bring that back?

#

Prep was amazing

vestal wren
#

it is only for assassination

#

but i agree

gusty mirage
#

Just having insta resets on CDs was sick

#

Esp in pvp

vestal wren
#

(i mean shiv can be a rotational spell for outlaw too)

storm onyx
#

i miss those tbh, and yea a spell to be maintained but not to be maintained was given..lol

vestal wren
#

(it even is a marginal damage gain, but ... no)

gusty mirage
#

Just we got shafted hard

#

And it’s unfortunate

#

Took us the entire alpha and beta lifespan to get 4 covenant abilities

vestal wren
#

tbh the dev time rogue had was very limited

gusty mirage
#

Sub and sin had “TBD” talents until like a month before release

vestal wren
#

for what its worth, those who worked on it made the best of it

gusty mirage
#

And oh let’s just copy and paste alacrity

#

And then add premed but make it not work for half of 9.0

vestal wren
#

i mean

gusty mirage
#

Imagine how awful it would’ve been if Sephuz didn’t come in

vestal wren
#

we did give direct feedback in late legion that hidden blade is a terrible talent

#

and reason why

#

and it still is on assassiantion

No, but you can buy 1-40 skip once you hit 80

From 40 doing the cov campaign should be enough to cap you, or close enough that the perf diff is minimal

hollow river

if you can get a Haste tea roll go Theo

most just go Nadjia and use Theo for sub in m+ etc

reef axle
#

Hmmm figured as much

reef axle
#

Sub still more difficult and more punishing than the new bleed meta 🤔?

balmy condor
#

I wouldn't really call sub difficult honestly

#

it's pretty simple, especially this patch

#

punishing is another can of worms

#

like punishing how?

#

being off the boss for a mechanic? bout the same

#

fucking up your rotation? how badly? in what way?

If you incorrectly overwrite the snapshot after vendetta ends vs subs poor use of symbols but yeh I would say which rotation is more easier to screw up

reef axle
#

Hmmm true but from what I’ve seen doesn’t seem too hard to get it right with abit of practice

dim yacht
#

or does haste work out to be better due to faster ticks?

reef axle
#

Essentially get a garrotte and rupture off if possible before vendetta ends and leave them until the duration is finished 🤔

lethal coral
#

how are we assassins feeling regarding relics? do we love the out of stealth aoe they cast? or the tab targetting nightmare when needing to throw out empowered garrotes when breaking stealth? do we like them when we jump to boss in some cases where we accidentally tab target one and vendetta the shit out of one? lol

balmy condor
#

urh makes vendetta come up real quick, that's pretty cool

dim yacht
#

i feel like urh does nothing for us outside of bosses though

lethal coral
# balmy condor I have no idea what the question is I'm going to be honest

just wondering if any other assassination really doesn't like relics as much as i do. they are a nightmare when it comes to breaking stealth and opening up 3 empowered garrotes, and they get wasted on relics on accident. or vendetta a relic on accident instead of boss, effectively decimating an assassinations opening burst on the boss

dim yacht
#

i dislike them as much as you do

balmy condor
#

I mean the easy solution would be to just not troll your cooldowns into something that doesn't live for 3 seconds

#

they don't feel that bad

zinc frost
#

Have you tried not using vendetta on a relic?

balmy condor
#

but I get if you're messing up it would be pretty awful

dim yacht
#

my problem isnt the above, i just dont like that urh seemingl does very little for us on trash

I'm sorry what

you have vendetta macro'd to shadowstep?

i mean it works lol, i was doing 24's last season

but this season, really sucks

#

at least i know i need to change things

#

different season and all

#

but still, relics aren't fun

balmy condor
#

yeah I can imagine OMEGALUL

dim yacht
#

okay but anyone got anything to say about urh relics on trash for sin? am i missing something

#

i guess on packs where theres prio targets

balmy condor
#

they're not?

dim yacht
#

i dont understand what im missing

balmy condor
#

vendetta good, big damage on vendetta, having more vendetta more big damage

#

I don't understand either

lethal coral
#

but yeah, i'm fine with urh

zinc frost
#

Urh just isn’t giga strong for rogues compared to other classes that’s all

dim yacht
#

thats what i felt too, just seems unbalanced

balmy condor
#

yeah that's just a difference in classes

dim yacht
#

i guess i communicated my point a bit poorly

#

i know it does something

hollow river
balmy condor
#

rogue cooldowns are probably the weakest in the entire game

dim yacht
#

but i feel like we get far more mileage out of vy

balmy condor
#

shadow blades

dim yacht
#

but other classes dont want it

balmy condor
#

3 minute cooldown btw

dim yacht
#

i feel like blizzard missed the mark with covenant abilities for rogues, i would have liked something that felt epic. its not the damage that bothers me

#

i just feel like we dont have anything that feels super cool

hollow river
#

sbs feels super cool

zinc frost
#

vy is okay, Urh is just too strong when it comes to healing/CDR for the bigger pumpers etc. plus vy is dumb af when it comes to trying to cleave it down on a boss

dim yacht
#

like what if we had something that was killing spree-esque, where we bleed the living shit of everything and anything, and it gives 1 energy per tick or something, so itd be a powerful aoe cd and st cd

balmy condor
#

that sounds like crimson tempest with extra steps

iron orchid
#

we don't really need more energy tho

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

just need some aoe love and some combo points

#

the fact that we are forced to talent into any aoe at all

dim yacht
#

i miss echoing blades

balmy condor
#

is just ridiculous

dim yacht
#

and shrouded suffocation

#

just replace hidden blades with echoing blades

#

everyone is happy

balmy condor
#

yeah

dim yacht
#

i really liked shrouded suffocation for its on pull burst aoe

#

or cleave rather

balmy condor
#

I would be more enthusiastic if that wasn't our recommendation for hidden blades for the last 3 years

#

it just doesn't seem like they're too interested

#

we'll see if they change our talents in any major way in 10.0

#

that's the opportunity

dim yacht
#

agreed

#

idk if i should have high hopes or not

#

but im looking forward to seeing what we get from the new talent tree stuff in 10.0

balmy condor
#

I wouldn't expect much if the druid trees were anything to go off of

dim yacht
#

i havent looked at them

balmy condor
#

druid tree was basically "here's a bunch of baseline stuff and you can buff some things and then here's all the talents back and also convoke is here"

dim yacht
#

the change in ownership of blizzard could mean something though. i know people said 'its just alpha' etc or 'its too early to judge' for shadowlands and then we got garbage

#

but the fact still exists, we dont know what might change from that if anything

feral rivet
#

The biggest thing in the druid trees is that feral can go innervate

balmy condor
#

yeah except it's still going to be feral

#

and feral sucks

zinc frost
#

The TCs of this discord (and other class discords) should be guaranteed alpha/beta access

balmy condor
#

we had a feral druid one trick in my guild, and he legit just straight up quit because feral was such a terribly designed mess

balmy condor
#

not like our feedback really changes much though

dim yacht
#

im pretty sure i got beta because i got carried to gladiator lol

balmy condor
#

in the past when we've tried it was sorta almost listened to

#

tier sets this time around were listened to

#

kinda

#

like sin 2 piece got reworked because they listened

#

that's big

#

we like that

dim yacht
#

what was the original 2 piece?

balmy condor
#

it was single target

hollow river
#

lol

#

crit

#

on shiv

balmy condor
#

and yeh

hollow river
#

trash

balmy condor
#

was crit instead of bleed damage

#

the crit was admittedly a placeholder effect

ashen scroll
#

still do shit damage tho starege

feral rivet
dim yacht
#

doesnt feral also have an extremely high skill cap?

#

or so ive been told

balmy condor
#

kinda but it's so fucking slow that you can do your homework between gcds

#

so

#

you have more than enough time to plan out your super 900 iq rotation

feral rivet
#

Not with owlweaving

balmy condor
#

oh the fucking weaving

feral rivet
#

But yeah new ppl to feral find bloodtalons hard to play but I wouldn’t say feral is harder than most specs

balmy condor
#

what a terrible design

feral rivet
#

Yes

#

Assassination is more like old feral than feral is tbf 😅

high storm
#

what is open for nero ass

vestal wren
#

and even then it seemed for a while that people still don't like the tier set

zinc frost
vestal wren
#

this is in no disrespect to the devs. i think esp. public communication was very high for the tier set

#

one of the only complains of the sub tier set was the rng nature

#

but it felt more like there was a disagreement between the two sides, when the community asked for something more deterministic and the devs did say that the rng is fun and healthy

#

for outlaw in addition the tuning of the set did directly impact their competitive position

i can search for the 30 ability "opener" cast sequence macro somone send me during legion

balmy condor

I had a guy send me a pastebin of a cast sequence macro for his “burst rotation”

#

And he said it didnt fit into one macro because its too long

#

So he was asking me if I could condense it down

#

So it would fit

vestal wren

haha, the one i got just told me to use a addon that allows you to have unlimited length

subtle tundra

hi TCs can you fuck my wife with the correct rotation so i learn when watching?

And I never heard from him again

fun story, we got a new social in the guild

a 50yo woman

and she is using those "one button rotation" macros

but thats cute

she says it helps her to oncentrade on mechanics, her damage is barely over tanks tho

I personally dont mind it. In my mind the only reason to parse is cuz u wanna app out to a different guild

guys, about dots , i remember that back in bfa when you reapply a rupture or garrote the remaining duration was a added to the new one, but now even if you reapply during pandemic i dont see garrotes lasting longer than 18sec and ruptures more than 24sec , why is that?

they do

in fact i have been playing the last 10 days and it never worked for me, maybe im bugged

do 5cp rupture into mfd rupture on a dummy

could be your addons or something I dont know

yes, i also thought it could be my nameplates addon incorrectly displaying the number, but even without addons my ruptures are never longer than 24sec and garrote 18 sec, no matter at what time i refresh it
