Too busy with poe to pay attention to the homies
you need some more score to beat ivazz
Well I won't play much in the next month
exam season?
Yep
well good luck for that 👍
Amen
Just need to come back in that one push week to get all the io 👍
@ebon notch if you want I can kinda explain how we bugged jailer
How I understood it
Differently to the regular bug?
There are some conditions and spell queuing fucks it
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
It's some mage venthyr shenanigans isn't it, with door and a conduit? @subtle tundra
Or you guys did something different
Is your log unlisted?
Could you link me?
It privatw
Would you always run subterfuge for m+?
yes
in keys is there ever a point where the 272 daggers will out dps the heroic EON?
assassination in general replaces sylvanas daggers quite early
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?
The info will be out of date if it’s the spreadsheet in the faq. Venth sims very much ahead of NF
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Those are the up to date sims
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
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.
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
what makes assa more engaging? would have thought the opposite
cuz it's not sub
assassination is at least as good as sub in the raid
so just play whatever you like more, it comes down to taste
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?
vigor 
deeper?
nightfae
also why nf
feel like playing vigor when mfd sims more than 500 dps better is a bit of a bad idea
venthyr is just the better choice
actually subterfuge sims slightly lower
was thinking about giving venthyr another shot, but i played it all of 9.1 and nightfae is fun too
besides, nightfae is probably better for the task´s i am told to do in my raid
...damage?
ritualist, schematics
the amount of damage sepsis delivers in short timeframes is insane
those are the tasks everyone has
also nf on pantheon very weird choice
some guilds never fail to amaze me
what am i to do, the whole fight falls apart as soon as i dont blast that add

maybe they became too reliant on that after a few tries
I dont even cd the add usually
Some of us get assigned to a far add
our warlock even said "do i even need to touch the ritualist, nerazar is just murdering it alone"
truly unfortunate
It doesnt matter that much you can get pretty decent logs even if youre hitting a far add
so i just take that compliment and move on with my life
and completely destroying any potential overall damage you could be doing
It is what it is boss dies i guess
not like it matters anyway, yeah
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
the boss dies, when the ritualists die
You should just play Necrolord, it's really good for add-swapping and cleaving add-spawns.
Using Sepsis on the add is just omega overkill
rest ranged kill
yeah but we had a few wipes during progress where i couldnt finish the add as necrolord and it got tedious to argue about it
so i just overkill it and move on
and you don't play subterfuge on pantheon either?
while I understand that, you can def make better choices under bad choices you feel me?
Its really up to how much you care
Yes, completely killing your potential (boss) dps throughout the fight is just unnecessary, logs or no logs.
A lot of people dont even care to learn their class properly or guilds like mine wouldnt even need melee swapping to adds
where did this whole argument even come from guys, i was just wondering if poison bomb was better for halondrus xD
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
i am in a casual mythic guild, what does it even matter
Just play CT
always
yeah CT is better in theory
Pretty much
CT is either better or marginal with PB
Without losing any value, compared to PB losing value from movement/procs
i was just wondering IF halondrus is a case of poison bomb being actually ahead
and it is by 2 dps
😄
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
but you definitely dont play vigor
😄
but its like saying u play venom rush and master poisoner cus youre used to it
comfort is a heavy drug
Like youre right but who cares what some other random does
you'll never get used to playing other talents
just trying to understand the thought process
if you never play them
The thought process is "dont like change"
of course you're comfortable with one set of talents if you've played with them for 2 years straight
never changing a talent
ideal
huh

it's not
the spec has changed a lot
not even close
wym
Ok argue with me on my word choice
than it was in CN
Great hill to die on
i love how this discord always escalates every conversation 😄
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
I definitely dont
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
The spec is really very different from past patches.
no spec has changed much
I, too have played with the 4p
The core of the spec is the same
they havent rly done any major class changes since wod -> legion
they work around a certain niche usually
just slapping in borrowed power here and there
and that's it
sub has been ss ss evis ss ss evis since legion
assa is keep ur bleeds up
and envenom if u can
How many stacks do you normally get on flag in ST? I have a hard time reaching more than ~22 stacks
28+
are you playing marked for death?
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
You’ll always start with flag - finish - MFD - finish right?
yep
does assa finish at 4cp with deeper strategem or mutilate again?
kk
didnt kill pantheon so no 2 vaults sad
1% zzz
how we one shot it last week but this week nobody target add :(

Killing it once means boss is on farm time to parse 
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
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
Wrong spec
Fan of knives is 1cp + 1cp per crit
Shuriken storm on sub is 1 cp per target Hit
ty
@balmy condor are you no longer raiding?
I am benched for anduin amd Lords Because rogue is a shit ass class
And they killed anduin yesterday
how low did they get lords
Let me check
where the trackmania gameplay then with raid comms as background noise 
6 pulls, 70%
Because i do other things during raid now like eat food

@balmy condor wanna do lords
You can have my spit
Spot
You can have my spit too ig
Not really
rogue is good on both! what the hell
Honestly, fair.
Yeah okay 
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


Its about having a winners mentality oxi
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
How do I winners mentality a destro lock doing almost as much damage as me in intermission with just chaos bolt?
Because looking at logs after Wednesday I wanted to jump into a river
I’ve never felt so useless
You dont
think rogue is fine on every boss tho
My destro lock said my funnel was crazy on lihuvim
Ye prey is giga for it
And then we pulled up logs, and he did more damage to lihuvim during his Rain of fire on the adds

you skipped an add phase on mythic? 
How’s anduin
Dont mind if i do 😳

What's more prio in shiv windows, tempest or env? assuming no vendetta
nvm figured it out
am i just unlucky or is it just really hard to get decent agi daggers fast
I mean I said this in here the other day
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
I dc'd twice on our kill and the only worry my guild had was for blasphemys, everything else they were fine with 
Even mechanically if the intermission didn't have a damage amp we'd probably not even be that poor either
Just sad how far we fall off because of damage amps lol
how long was the damage amp on sludge?
10ish seconds?
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 👌

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
6.66
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 🤣
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?
don't use tea time
sup minal
sup vita
whts popin
It's a dps increase for the raid overall isn't it?
Assuming they didn't get hit by the wall while tunneling 
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.
how big of a difference is duskwalkers vs zoldyks for lords? logs seem to favor zoldyk a lot
So does this mean it's not a raid DPS increase then, it's only coming back as a 70 dps loss for me which doesn't seem very big.
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Zoldyck is better and simpler to use
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.
Fair enough, I'll switch over to nad instead then
Just dont move then. Stand still.
:3head:
Does anyone have a link to the updated pandemic wa's that got linked a while ago?
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
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
the top dog logs are about 50-50 between MA and Subt tho
ya talents
Necrolord prefers master assassin
52% to 48% in my ilvl, logs are Necro only
not arguing, just trying to fig it out
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
ok, ima run a sim now
hmm, +14 with subt
I kept vigor cause deeper makes me feel starved
Mmmm that might affect the choice
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
I found Deeper felt okay with Necrolord, but def felt energy starved with the other covenants.
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
Necro will just get so many combo points that it can't spend, ds is a better choice
You should never be starved in a dungeon because you have many targets to get regen from
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
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
The problem with Necro is the legendary is kinda useless in single target
Have you tried out venthyr?
no I havent
Should be the go-to pick
bones is really fun
Fair
yup I know its best for meters, but I chose fun
Yeah keep at it, have fun
mut
if you have 5 combo points after the vanish could also hit a fatty envenom
is there a setting that makes the shadow wall on anduin easier to see?
turn your monitor on
you can try inky black potion but the walls are incredibly easy to see anyway
blasphemy is worse
maybe im blind, i can see blasphemy easily but the wall is sometimes super hard to see
Zoldyck its better for Lords, right? But in which piece should I create it
Feet is fairly solid choice
@zinc frost Thanks!
@balmy condor Thanks mate!
You got asked too many times huh lol
Nah
I just like pointing out that frequently asked questions and frequently asked

Cause im an ass like that
Legs unity bis you heard it here first
it is like it depends on what gear you have
Weird huh
Hmm we better get some 30 second sims with aoe just to be sure
return of MA/Deathly
did someone say hidden blades 
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?
With MA window, mutilate generates more CP
Good CP gen into a garrote gives us a juicy flagellation window

isnt there a WA for iqd that tracks the circulation like cache?
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
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
You can’t - prey that your boomie innervates the low mana healer just before you press it xD
It’s good in m+ ^^
cant argue to that 😛
Often you’ll miss a use especially on long raid fights
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
Or if you CD during a high damage phase it might just heal someone
Miss a use as in a healer will eat it or a dps eats the heal effect xD
gotcha yeah
was thinking of it jsut now
so on a 5min+ fight if u miss one
it basicly becomes worse than sigil
If you loose a stat buff then yes
Used it all of last patch as boomkin and just decided never to use that shit again xD
yep aint happening ill either sahrd it or vendor it
should have gone with a socket instaed,wasted my GV
Force yourself to track/learn how to use it; then it’s a very good trinket
Is assa worth it in M+?
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
i wanted to see what trinkets other people play in m+ lol but im the only one playing it :((
The only key i will play sin in is top.
I genuinly think it is better than sub in that key
But how is it now
i can tell you its better than you think
Vendetta on every big guy
Like where do you want or need sub over sins st in that dungeon
Please explain
too lazy
The ppl need to know
he aint new
you had another guy
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
yea but that doesnt mean its new
fuck you
Boooo
Too clarify @subtle tundra you are saying sub, is better in top, than sin?
nope
I think he’s saying TOP isn’t the ONLY good sin key…. He says that sin is better than u think
So, would it be fair to say playing ass in keys is high effort low reward, compared to say Sub?
yes
For sure
At least u can type in discord while playing keys on sin 
😂
i was playing sub
smh
we love that
I kept vanishing with garrote on cd in a top 26 so
dusk sims highest in slice for all covenants
Why
Uh it even better with urh
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
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
With a minute of not less cooldown with urh never hold just send it
Somewhere in that 6-8 range took a glance at herodamage
pretty close in dslice for me, 0.5% increase using duskwalker
but they do very different things, you cant compare it in dslice
if youre gonna play zold, might aswell spec sub
necro sub tho
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
i mean, i havent tried zoldyck so i cant say how much worse it actually is
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
if youre gonna ignore vendetta target in aoe, then zoldyck would be better
Dont know your kill speed, but if a pack fight is 90 secs, with dusk, you can even get 2 vendettas there if need be
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
I don't think destro or surv have any significant execute?
if anything it feels like their damage is front loaded
destro has shadowburn?
Sin finally has something it does better than sub and u kinda make it weaker if u dont play dusk
Thats my take
hunter has something i dont knwo
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 🙈
well that is the intention for playing it in top
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?
you have to mouseover
I stay on vendetta target, after all thats the one that needs to die or HP equalized

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
Spec removal only classes 
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
ahaha, global spec removal after ppl were complaining ability prune messed the game and Dhs dreaming of a 3rd.. that sounds interesting
Sub /Assasin used to be vice versa
they somewhat swapped how they behaved around a patch i forgot when
so many dumb specs could be pruned, bm, fury, elemental, unholy, feral, sub, destro, arcane, mistweaver, ret
hire me blizz

rofl. wtb my Gauge back
thats why we got..
our raid buff back
or premeditation
or smoke bomb
or...
oh wait, we got slice and dice
such a iconic spell
and Shiv...
hey man sub got rupture back right? or was that a patch in SL
so iconic that blizz decided to change #assassination so you don't need to press it
rupture and early nightblade are very similar
Don’t forget that vial nerf in expectation of buffing it with stuff we pick pocket
Oh wait

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
i don't mind shiv
It’s not dead in the water anymore and I appreciate that
i just don't think anything that was unprouned was exciting
Tying a soothe to a 25s cd is kinda cringe
preperation was a iconic spell
having soothe attached to your damage amp is very cringe
Also that^
why did they not bring that back?
Prep was amazing
(i mean shiv can be a rotational spell for outlaw too)
i miss those tbh, and yea a spell to be maintained but not to be maintained was given..lol
(it even is a marginal damage gain, but ... no)
Just we got shafted hard
And it’s unfortunate
Took us the entire alpha and beta lifespan to get 4 covenant abilities

tbh the dev time rogue had was very limited
Sub and sin had “TBD” talents until like a month before release
for what its worth, those who worked on it made the best of it
And oh let’s just copy and paste alacrity
And then add premed but make it not work for half of 9.0
i mean
Imagine how awful it would’ve been if Sephuz didn’t come in
we did give direct feedback in late legion that hidden blade is a terrible talent
and reason why
and it still is on assassiantion
So that adelgab can one shot his way to gladiator every season in SL
The most viable content for hidden blades is a pvp cheese 
lets say
its very volatile lately, i think that is a good neutral way to describe it
Do you just triple garrote-ct-then st vendetta the prio? Or you use fan to get bleeds in aoe still
GARRET 1 GARRET 2 GARRET 3
FAN OF THE KNIVES
FLAG THE BITCH
CRIMSON TEMPEST THE ASSHOLES
VENDETTA
SHIV DAT ASS
sorry
all fine, it is a iconic meme
Love the enthusiasm
Do you Mean prio?
Are there triplets all named Garret
Single target mainly
Like sub m+ setup vs dusk sin is just big diff in st, esp with relic 2t sin gains nicely
Yeah you definitely lose a lot of st with the way you setup sub in m+
@gusty mirage pikaboo found that out recently and has been spamming it on YouTube
I love when him and palumor call things "1 shots" but really it's like a 6 button combo including vanish... Like buddy that's not a 1 shot that's just a full go
Yeah they just feed into the YouTube clickbait trend
Sepsis does kill ppl in 2-3 seconds
You never just naked sepsis though
100% of the time it's going to go with vendetta and/or shiv
one shots are typically meaning someone dies within a few seconds
the amount of set up doesn't necessarily matter, it's about when the big amount of damage starts to when they die


in very big aoe packs in m+ do u still apply serated bone spike to build combo points or is fan of knives more more worth?
Yeah you should always be spreading all bleeds
Deathspike leggo from your Unity makes SBS cleave
spread the love
No thanks, the Monkey Pox is enough
don't worry
but lets not dive to much into it in the spec channel, and use #off-topic for further discussions
Let's dive into Lords prog. Keep meaning to make Zoldyck
how do i convince my rl that rogue sucks as* for anduin?
cosplay @gusty kestrel
😏
i mean i can try xd but that doesnt help me because i dont know how or why 😄
meh dunno my guild isnt that good so i'd like to try to dodge the 400+ trys :d
what
we literally ran a rogue cause we knew its good
was trolling u mate
i hate u
general misconception that rogue is bad on anduin
ill tag u again tomorrow
u cant time me out anymore

😉
I thought when you swapped covs with 80 renoun that it went to 80 with the new one??
uh oh lol
No, but you can buy 1-40 skip once you hit 80
So I had to buy before I swapped?
Or I can buy now?
I was 80 with venth and swapped to nf
starting at 1
nm got it. ty for the heads up.
From 40 doing the cov campaign should be enough to cap you, or close enough that the perf diff is minimal
Doing the Cov campaign will drown you in Renown
There's also the Korthia & Zereth Mortis campaigns, just need to invest the time
Is there a way to quickly grab a higher ilvl cov specific conduit?
Run the specific dungeon
Yeah they updated dungeons to drop higher ilvl conduits this season so if you do a 15 mists you should get nf conduit I think
Idr if we even run that conduit
Sepsis conduit is gud
is assassination ass good as sub in mythic plus?
no.
viable though yes
viable, just less good
Depends on key / comp tbh
Think sin is the correct choice in some keys
Overall sub is better tho
what's the best cache for ass?
!cache
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
Narrow? We are girth gamers over here
nevermind that wand is just worse and also has crit rng
why does the crit matter when its going inside me


Mfers really making this the horny chat


CT used in ST now?
just for venth, I believe
cum into my room and I'll show you a horny chat

But in that order I have to step over the cum on the floor
To get in and see the chat
I'd rather sink in the cum than cum in the sink




has anyone tried doubling down with exang on lords? 



plz be our pioneer hero
im playing mp
For the 'Holdt!
Hmm pins say theodor, but logs say majority are nadja, which one is the optimal choice for sin atm >.<
doesn't really matter they're both about the same
if you can get a Haste tea roll go Theo
most just go Nadjia and use Theo for sub in m+ etc
Hmmm figured as much
Sub still more difficult and more punishing than the new bleed meta 🤔?
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
haste or mastery for pvp, anyone know?
I think it's easier to screw up sin's rotation currently if you aren't familiar with how to do the overhang properly
haste/vers
vers i figured, does mastery not have a place? i thought itd go pretty well with sepsis for burst damage
Hmmm true but from what I’ve seen doesn’t seem too hard to get it right with abit of practice
or does haste work out to be better due to faster ticks?
Essentially get a garrotte and rupture off if possible before vendetta ends and leave them until the duration is finished 🤔
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
I have no idea what the question is I'm going to be honest
urh makes vendetta come up real quick, that's pretty cool
i feel like urh does nothing for us outside of bosses though
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
i dislike them as much as you do
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
Have you tried not using vendetta on a relic?
but I get if you're messing up it would be pretty awful
my problem isnt the above, i just dont like that urh seemingl does very little for us on trash
i have it macro'd to shadowstep
I'm sorry what

you have vendetta macro'd to shadowstep?
yeye
it's never been a problem until now

I thought I'd seen it all
XD
that is one of the most cursed things I've ever heard
and I have like 300 thousand messages here
I've seen a lot of cursed things
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
yeah I can imagine 
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
they're not?
i dont understand what im missing
vendetta good, big damage on vendetta, having more vendetta more big damage
I don't understand either
i actually like urh on trash lol, i love the buff, i can vendetta a lot more because of it, i just don't like the relics popping me out of stealth with that AOE they do, and when i open up on trash, i will accidently throw out empowered garrotes on them
but yeah, i'm fine with urh
Urh just isn’t giga strong for rogues compared to other classes that’s all
thats what i felt too, just seems unbalanced
yeah that's just a difference in classes

rogue cooldowns are probably the weakest in the entire game
but i feel like we get far more mileage out of vy
shadow blades
but other classes dont want it
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
sbs feels super cool
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
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
that sounds like crimson tempest with extra steps
we don't really need more energy tho
yeh
just need some aoe love and some combo points
the fact that we are forced to talent into any aoe at all
i miss echoing blades
is just ridiculous
and shrouded suffocation
just replace hidden blades with echoing blades
everyone is happy
yeah
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
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
I wouldn't expect much if the druid trees were anything to go off of
i havent looked at them
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"
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
The biggest thing in the druid trees is that feral can go innervate
The TCs of this discord (and other class discords) should be guaranteed alpha/beta access
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
I wish we did
I haven't seen a beta once since I started playing
not like our feedback really changes much though
im pretty sure i got beta because i got carried to gladiator lol
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
what was the original 2 piece?
it was single target
and yeh
trash
back to back flag+symbols is so pog
still do shit damage tho 
I main feral, it has a few really good fights this tier and for once the endboss is one of them. Its definitely not in a great place tho and hasnt been for an extremely long time
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
Not with owlweaving
oh the fucking weaving
But yeah new ppl to feral find bloodtalons hard to play but I wouldn’t say feral is harder than most specs
what is open for nero ass
only for #assassination sadly
and even then it seemed for a while that people still don't like the tier set
What you don’t love rng blades and rng strike?
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
mastery's okay too, but you just kinda stack haste after you hit your vers threshold that you're after
Im running like 350 mastery rn, sim likes it so 
Theyre talking pvp
i don't think you had the oppotunity to get in as TC given that you started contributing during sl
but i think you have a high chance to get it this time
i used to be able to watch series during prog but now with 4pc and being 1 min class is harder :/ i hate when blizz nerf my spec
man playing assa in lords is kinda fun shame boss is a pile of straw after the nerfs
my luck is always the worst for sub had like 3 or 4 pulls with no 4p or 2p procs and like 3 diff vulnerable phases too much gamba
Ngl this is like the worst shit I've ever read
i can search for the 30 ability "opener" cast sequence macro somone send me during legion
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
haha, the one i got just told me to use a addon that allows you to have unlimited length
hi TCs can you fuck my wife with the correct rotation so i learn when watching?
I told him that if 3 buttons are too much then hes playing the wrong game
And he just said “okay thank you”
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
Not sure if learning how to macro is harder, or actually learn 3 button rotation is harder
"mechanics? what? sorry, im a rogue"
haha
there is a ambush/mut macro tho ^^
acting as if you dont volunteer for the mechanics because everyone else is to stupid to actually do them
jesus i hate druids/warriors/mages 🙂
Mages are mechanic kings
The only reason I hate volunteering is cause if I get assigned to something on prog, I'm always gonna be assigned on reclear too so I can never parse
Like I never got to parse on kt in sod
Cause I was always going up
And holding cds
This x1000
We had the same trap popper on painsmith every week
Etc etc
I personally dont mind it. In my mind the only reason to parse is cuz u wanna app out to a different guild
But any decent guild is gonna look further than ur parses to see u did mechanics. Which will probably help your potential trial even more
U must play with some pretty shit players then
so, the far far majority of wow players? 
i mean, tryan is right
unless you play in like a top 100 guild
they're gonna be pretty shit
eh its more like, dps greed and tunnel vision is real

in my entire raiding time, i had 1 mage, 1dh and 1hunter where i would say that they where REALLY good
(and that hunter was a survival only main
)
thats literally being a bad player
i mean, for many people big dps numbers=good player
As someone who just picked up and started playing my rogue in this expansion; is sin aoe m+ dps supposed to feel like darkness and depression?
ST feels nice, but aoe is..
I'm hoping I'm just utterly trash at it, maybe the 2p set bonus will help
yes
Sweet
if youre feeling those exact feelings, youre doing it right.

Are you okay?
yea ofc im an assa m+ player how can i not be mate are YOU ok though? asking such silly questions

It's ok bro
Were thinking what am I gonna raid as tonight then it hit my mind oh assa got nerfed to the ground so the choice is easy then I remembered oh that was just a really really weird dream I had last night
thank you Kanye, very cool
Very cool indeed
what cache weapon do u take on assa in st and aoe respectively?
holy shit what a gamer🏆

Doesnt shiv do something
Double shiv is kinda fun
!cache
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
Lol
Just use Axe everytime
guys how is the single target opener rotation with subterfuge now that i have the vendetta legendary? also how do you guys use vendetta on aoe situations? should i just use it on the biggest guy of the pull and forget about it? thanks!
vendetta the biggest target and rail them, AOE is someone else job 
Hey you with the face, you’re cute

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
are you lvling, is it a passive you maybe dont have? no clue otherwise
nop, lvl 60, damn i might be bugged then, gonna open a ticket
Don't think that is the case but hope you resolve your issue
I swapped night fae for PvP. Have not attempted a key. My io was only like 2.4k as venth. Can I still run the same lvl keys or wont have the deeps now?
what could it be then?
yes
deeper yeah?
ofc
dont forger you can rupture on 4cp
wait actually?
what is the reasoning for it, not disagreeing, just havent heard of this before
Need to get your energy regen going
This is an opener only thing
