I can’t take anymore boring tundra
Definitely not playing wrath classic
I might just to try to hit 80 and do the 5s arena shenanigans again
But chances are I’ll get to level 20 and quit like I did in regular classic
Same
Plus sin in wrath required extra hit rating for poisons
And that my friends is a yikers
Wrath is the first expansion I missed altogether
i basically skipped 80% of wod
Check it out, experiencing ICC in wrath is sick
I would only play if they made it to like mop
did like first tier then was done
Besides boring tundra, every other zone was really cool
I skipped 100% of wod, 90% of legion, 75% of Bfa
and 200% of shadowlands
Just pretend nax didn’t exist as a raid and wrath was insanely good

I never got to do nax. Took a break after aq 40 (middle school) and never did it in wrath
Yeah then you’d like wrath
Took a break in aq40 (preschool)
Nax was cool the first time around
Don’t remind me agreon
Stay woke
You weren’t even alive when aq came out
Yeah i was
Oh no
Do you know how much fucking runecloth I farmed
I’d believe it
Bro I'm older than wow ok
You ever think how different your life would be without wow?
Yes
I’d literally have the cure for cancer
Isn’t it crazy that this game brought you together with so many people?
It truly is
I’m still friends with my old GM/RL from vanilla
I’m still friends with guildies way back when
He’s married with 2 kids now. It’s crazy
My oldest is cata 
He was like 3 years older than me lol

Hey
You never told me what you wanted for your birthday
damn bro you were raiding like that in middle school?
Didn’t your generation eat tide pods?
Bill dipperly
World peace. Or your practice to get a nice bit of business
jeez he could've asked for 1 million dabloons
I raided with a laptop trackpad until I returned in 8.3.
Did heroic throne + vaults + BT 25, Aq 40 all working a trackpad
how wholesome
I’d give him everything he’d ask for. That’s my homie
Can’t wait to come visit for the wedding 
It’ll be a good time
Tfw 31 but didnt play until bfa 😦
Official Proposal in October

I may have a plus one if things continue going well
She gonna be surprised
world peace of deez nuts in your mouth
Good stuff oxi 
That’s a good gift too
Bozo, get bent
We need to @balmy condor to come out for it
you look like a farm hand on ketamine
???
Watch him get hammered and babysit him all night
You’ve seen one photo of me ever hungover?
Nothing in this sentence refuted his comment
I don’t look like I do ketamine?
I’ve never seen said photo
correct
Thats so pog
you look like a farmhand who does
that's the difference
No man
He’s got you there
I’ll farm your hand ong
do you have a drawl quake

Hey. Im starting to play Assas but I feel like I might be missing something. Im kinda torn on what cov to go and the correct talents for tyran vs Fort
Bro its the hookworms talking
I think I don’t but the EU brothers think I do
always the same, always venth
Hi, have you checked any guides out? If not they’re incredible helpful! I don’t mean a cop out answer, but it’ll always be venthyr, and essentially the same bones with a few changes. If you type !guide in chat there are three that help!
There’s also an insanely helpful #assassination-faq for some basic stuff 🙂
I checked the FAQ and tried to look at pinned but nothing there 😦

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
My DPS is alright, my priority damage seems to be pretty good but my Overall is just not there 😦
Pins are more for LATEST information.
so you're playing assassination?
@balmy condor yes.
checks out
Damn. This hurts because it’s true
In keys that’s pretty normal; assassination is in its worst spot this xpac (outside of 9.0)
In m+
im 262 with 4 set and i did 11k Overall in a 15
Yeah sin is by far the most complex for less damage than the other 2 specs in m+
I'm gonna be a slammer in df
That’s about right, maybe slightly low, but it’s not like horrendously off
Catch me getting the rank 1 title
Like you’re putting in a lot more work for less damage than sub which is easier to play in keys
doing X damage in a random pug 15 depends on way too many factors but this doesn't seem too terrible
Big thing is you want subterfuge and CT in keys.
yeh
you get 3 garrotes from stealth
focus whatever you vendetta
multi dot otherwise
and then cry cause you don't do aoe damage
that's the sin m+ experience
Master poisoner okay? I feel i did more with that over EP
master poisoner very bad
It’s tuned pretty low this xpac
L
I’d still recommend ep personally
So i assume im doing something wrong with that being my 2nd overall DPS
they do the same thing except one does it better 
poisons are your second highest?
Sadly

I can show u the breakdown if u want
sure
garrote should def be higher
You’re not garroting enough
and rupture
Cries
and rupture too tbh
Tabnstäb is an accurate description
because he got 1 cp every time the entire dungeon whispyr

Prob because i wasn't tab target garrotes 😦
fan of knives is like CRAZY high
would prefer that melee (Loyal Stoneborn) be much higher
biggest thing for assa is spread bleeds
Im used to sub rotation so that could be why sadge
typically it's between 7 and 8% here's it's 11.5
Yeah yeah
I press to make crimson tempest go br
are you using fan on 2 targets?
3+ now
you're using it LESS than you should
With that GIGA buff, it’s better on 3+ 
overcapping combo points maybe?
Yo yo yo don't @ me like that
are you going to 5 combo points every time? @lunar gorge
It’s definitely not the sun life
Yes
or are you stopping at 4 and using a finisher
I overcap a little
you should be stopping
NGl
I think the main thing is probably more melee hits, maintain slice and dice if you aren't, and tabbing more garrotes and ruptures
when vend/flag is up, just pump single target
You’re constantly fanning, tabbing m, garroting when you can, and finishing when at max-1, usually rupture, you’ll maintain CT as a dot, and extend snds with envenom
My slice and dice was 70% uptime
I have a 229 wep aswell, so that is probably a problem for melee hits
should be closer to like 97
on cd
you only sync very last vendetta if boss is gonna die in that vendetta iirc
What keeps S&D rolling tho?
envenom
cut to the chase
Cut to the chase
Oh
our passive we've had since Cata
Envenoming

We didn’t have snd for a while 🤨
ahem
:oldge:
and it was passive in wod
And it was t reintroduced until 9.0.5
Should I be spending a lot of CP on evenom?
9.0 sad days
you should look to keep 100% uptime on your 3 dots and then spend extras on Envenom
Nah, just to extend snd as needed
And as a dump on st when your dots are good, and you’ve nothing else to do
prio envenom if snd is about to fall off
Even over Dots?
especially over crimson tempest ye
Is it Stupid to put CT on a boss?
No
CT is good once you have 4-pc and double leggo
wait but snd in packs is not prio
If you’re talented into CT, you want to maintain CT period

haste raid crit m+
a little mastery is good too
just sim yourself
sin kinda wants a mixture of all 4 stats but agility>all
don't prio lower ilvl gear just because of secondaries
so uhhh, my SIM tells me to press ambush. Is that true?
i worry about you too much
same
Hows Sin doing in raids?
good
All i needed to hear 🙂
o/ is garrote a part of normal dps rotation or is it more of a stealth opener against casters?
you want to maintain garrote since its a dot
i would suggest checking out the #assassination-faq channel and the guides

Ooh so it's a separate bleed from rupture.. got ya
Completely depends on the person and how comfortable you are with either
Sin is generally better
Personally outlaw confuses me more often than not.. having to use a buff to do AoE? o.O
I've been playing fury warrior for so long that my muscle memory is set lol, so not having a "spin fast do dmg" button is weird
Outlaw has so much other buttons to press and things to deal with, you will be very thankful that you don't need to change your rotation for multiple targets.
lethal dose and vicious venoms are my 2 favorite talents, more of those plz dev thx
That's exactly what blade flurry does, you just press it less often
But it's not a spin2win attack like shuriken storm or fan of blades ;c
We have like 15 other buttons to press that all do AOE damage, though
Technically, Blade Rush makes you spin and does AOE
Roll the Bones is our spin2win
for cache trinket, do you want haste or wand? for pure ST
neither

!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
always
thanks
np
Do you guys know if we can like ...
Make a build in Dragonflight, and then SAVE that build so we can just revert to it later?
Such as: one named Raid, one named M+, one named PVP?
Yes, I do believe so
I really hope so
I think a picture showing something like that was shown during the announcement
good...I couldn't imagine trying to remember what all points to change on the fly...since I change up what content I'm doing so often.
Yep, it would be insane if blizzard didnt include that into the talent system
yeah they said we will be able to save and share "loadouts"
Awesome, thanks
Can anyone clarify what makes going shadow dance so strong for the new talent system, is the one charge with no CDR on it still good?
Or is it just for the application of Find Weakness?
Dance is 10% damage amp, nightstalker is a 20% damage amp, and it's currently thought to work with Master assassin for 30% crit during the duration, as well as improved garrote
find weakness on top of that makes it essentially an aoe vendetta but stronger
We all knew that from the start and none of us here belittled shadow dance pickers
Right whispyr?
Why are you still awake
10.0 Talent Tree Previews:
With the sheer mass of talent possibilities, I will be trying to maintain a spreadsheet with the current theorycrafted concepts and ideas. This spreadsheet will compile trees and feedback from across the community as it pops up and is discussed. If you have any feedback on the spreadsheet, please tell me what improvements you would like to see.
View the spreadsheet here: http://tiny.cc/3rftuz
Attached are also some standard Raid/M+ trees that should feel familiar to any returning assassination player.
that's why
No exsang
M+ tree has tight spenders instead of night stalker
seli fuck off
yeah well it's 4am and I'm not changing the picture right now I'll fix it tomorrow or something idk
can't be fucked
just finished spreadsheeting for the last 5 hours
sleep time for some demonic 4 hour power nap and then podcast yep
Said it himself, Demon Hunter spy
share link

It’s all set up already
Wanna add 3 days of mdi to it? 
Not particularly :)
Ngl im glad the talents came out this early but damn if this isn't a really bad time with all the other shit going on atm
Having to organize 4 podcasts in a week on a 2 day notice
Is not the most fun I’ve ever had
Whispyr probably busy all week wondering which dress to pack to look cute for our irl date
I can’t decide which pair of cat ears so I’m bringing both
send pics of the ears
More important to bring the tail
and we can vote?
Most importantly I need to be up in 5 hours

night night assassination
Don’t ping me with dumb talent questions or I will eat all your mayonnaise
nn king
@balmy condor what kind of mayo?

@balmy condor go to sleep
Not a normal one

They need to invite varas, he has based opinions
And brilliant build ideas
Fuck forgot to swap to my alt
seli, guy and whisp as always
and one guest
ah thats cool
Gotta love koji
so just trying to make sense of ass - i feel like im maybe not getting enough envenoms off - during vendetta should i be focused on keeping all 3 off or is letting dots fall a little ok to get a couple envemons
envenom is just a maintenace filler for slice and dice, bleed upstime is the most relevant thing, priority on garrote and rupture
NGL I hope they pull a sylv and burn part of the rogue tree down
why is that
he likely has pyromania and like things to burn
I'm just sad about the lack of legion stuff in the tree
Wdym poison bomb is there 
Kingsbane being mentioned 
Bring back agonizing 
no, thanks

I mean - i'll take the trees over:
- current trees
- conduits
- soulbinds
- soulbind trees
- legendaries
They don't seem that bad to me. Couple things maybe out of place -- "fan of knives" maybe?
Not if you want cut to the chase
You have no choice but to pick fan of knives
It may be that CttC isn’t worth the dps loss of picking another talent
i mean fok isn't inherently bad - when you get it for free haha
We’ll have to see how things shake up in the next 5 months
how
But anyone seeing this first draft of the trees and not being excited is kinda weird. especially considering how we’ve gotten more than we had in almost the entirety of alpha/beta for SL
Talent below shiv
This feels like a legitimate embarrassment of riches
I just remember when blizz first pruned the trees with some statement like
"A lot of the talents are traps for beginner players. A talent doesn't sound that great, but is responsible for a lot of your damage."
But I mean I see that again - which really isn't a concern for anyone in here anyway.
Maybe im high and read it wrong
Ah i read it as 50% dmg on all targets affected by poisons
I mean yeah it’s true that there are some talents that at first glance sound kinda meh and are actually huge
But unfortunately with this style of talent trees it’s inevitable
agree
lethal dose 
it's just 2% 
But this kind of tree does allow for some cool shit to be put in
So it’s kind of a trade off
Surely just 2% :clueless:
No 
Idk I’m hyped about wow for the first time since essences lol so I’m happy with them especially knowing the dude’s in here reading feedback and that he’s played rogue for years
How many different poisons and bleeds do we get?
is this vicious venoms intended to be enough to want to FoK to spread poisons and then go ST generators? or is it just for Mutilate procs of some sort? low targets?
I think 5 poisons - plus leeching so 6
we will see, i mean in the end if some things get implemented that seem wanted that is fine already
4 usable poisons, rupture, garrote, ct, doomblade(?), replicating dots and poisons with deathmark
Yeah, like I said as a first draft that will inevitably change by December. We’re sitting pretty
HELMANS !!!!! or olive oil may
Being an early talent tree means more time for feedback too
Yuppers
Good spot to be
All in all
or beta
AFAIK venomous wounds is going to get moved further up the tree already
Rogues looking good
So like, it’s huge
Give sub better utility tho
Imagine being a shaman and having to wait til 2 weeks before release to even have a talent tree
They can feel our pain in shadowlands

Imagine being a shaman
God bless
Announced the pre-patch for SL and we still had TBD talents in our trees
I think they purposely meme on shamans now or something
Biggest tier for them in a while
9.0 was our beta
It worked
It didn’t do anything
But you could like
No
Flag wasn’t flag though
Just not press it again
In beta it didn’t work
We were kinky bois
Slaughter was it right?
it changed so many times
It was coral but bad
I'm gonna miss stepsis doing 90% of someone's health
Double global 
How
SL was not prepared
Also, really enjoyed those crimson vial pickpocket buffs we were promised at blizzcon
No ones prepared for the beachpatrol tho

They put the frozen pizza that was the expansion, in the oven then set the temp
lol think next xpac will have some pockets to piock
What’s blizzcon?
Where people go to stalk streamers apparently
Like less than a blizzard but more than a flurry
Nice
Too soon?
Didn’t that person get indicted like, yesterday?
He took a plea yesterday
I’m waiting to go to blizzcon and have @bleak sky stalk me

Buddy, minalba is gonna have to hide from @lucid birch
I'm ready to go to blizzcon (haven't showered in the past 3 weeks)
(That’s still better than a lot of mtg cons)
that famous mtg convention reddit post
Dude’s a homie
Mfd to CD makes me a sad boy
you like all 3 trees?
I hate mfd
and also the general tree
I skimmed through the sub one, seems a little scatter brained but honestly there’s a lot of cool stuff in there
Converting nature damages to shadow is enormous
Just cool thematic stuff tbh
interessting
damn I have been playing rogue wrong just got back into wow and havent played rogue in a while and I wasnt playing around CT properly my bad
i mean, i think the tree has some cool choices
I read outlaw’s and saw “long arm of the outlaw” and closed it
To me, sub seems easy to balance on paper (hitting a target dummy)...but it loses so much depending where you lose uptime or have movement or hit intermissions, etc.
I will hand in my membership card
but i also think the sub tree needs a lot of work
sin seems quite good already
outlaw in between, but atm just has way to much strong interactions
Sub tree just needs some stuff moved around. Right now putting deeper behind aoe stuff is kinda sus
i think its a good start and only sub needs a lot of work, the class tree needs something better for garotte. outlaw needs some changes to restless blades
that's strange, i'd say the rogue trees have been pretty good for a first iteration - worst is sub for sure, but outlaw and assa have a solid start
But it also kinda makes sense that black powder benefits the most from deeper
I mean what is wrong with balancing sub off of a lot less uptime on shadow dance.
the right upper part seems easy to fix
Yeah needs some more cohesion
the main problem is that if you add a skip to the aoe stuff you also can go very deep into all 3
so your "choice" is lower
Only thing I don’t really agree with is why ER/Resounding is in the general tree
assassination needs venomous wounds right up top but they've already noted the energy issues and working on it
given that you skip a certain amount of points always
Seems like an odd choice
so let me get this straight we keep up CT and use envenom as a filler to extend SnD at 4+ cp
agree
the aoe stuff being early on is also for leveling purposes - they want to make what abilities you get smooth
Yea can we trade in stepsis and ER for SBS?
'supercharging' being a capstone is okay to me, i think it could be a choice capstone though with sepsis and move some more thematic skill into the spec trees
Honestly, flag makes the most sense for all 3 in the general tree
i mean, its fine to have it seperated, but if you exclude the points and are able to spend it deeper you can go down a lot
I’m 99% sure sbs won’t be returning
I mean without the conduit and legondary - i can't imagine stepsis will even be that good anyway
even non-obedience flag?
I love it, but with all of the bugs
Don’t tell me this
and unless you take optional nodes, you probably won't have a lot of build variance
still
besides some of the capstone nodes seem a bit meh
I mean, just cake in the 0.5% vers per stack
It makes sense to leave it
i agree, just understanding why they did - and why they can do it better 
Fuu, you know we’re all skipping defensives and utility for dps
I want thistle tea to be good
But I don’t think it ever will
sin tree has a low amount of utility traits
^^
Exactly
I'm taking cheat death and leeching 😄
supercharge fits with things like seal fate more than some cd bloat that should be in the spec trees imo
Don’t feed
and recuperator
ah, the days where recup was refunding energy and we had also combat readiness
I really dont know why it was put in on the last node feels so rewarding to go all the way down there NOT.
place holder most likely
How are people getting those insane Sepsis dots? Does it scale with something I should combine it with?
Master Assassin + Unity and Set
The conduit + tier set usually
Unity doesn’t affect the damage sepsis does
we call it giving people the stepsis

might also be that bug where it does all its damage in 2.5s
Oh, that's a bug?
the 4 set does speed up the dot
but theres a bug where if you macro them together it goes even faster
so your sepsis does all of its damage in 2.5s
Ello. Returning player. New to Rogue. Any pro/con to levelling as Sin vs Sub?
Sub has Soothing Shadows
How parse on lihuvim and anduin without cache
Reroll warlock or surv hunter

Is this for real?? I get killed by other sin rogues and their Sepsis is absolutely trucking me.
Mine never seems to do as much
same damage, shortened window
Well when its stun, and dead in 3 seconds it makes a difference hehe
what slot is everyone putting unity on
I have mine on bracers, but that’s also because I’ve yet to drop any bracers at all this tier
Plus bracers was the safe pick early on
Anyone that knows if we can buy Sylvanas dagger from the currency in s4?
Atleast a dagger without the proc so just the mog perhaps?
Head
yes
Really? With the proc aswell or just a regular dagger?
You will be able to trade a whole token for a whole sylvannas dagger
With proc
anything more helpful?
sublety has better healing I think, no real difference in terms of leveling
ty ty
I've only played sub and outlaw, why does my deadly poison do like #4-#5 in st when I hit dummies
but then #1 by far in sims
am I not pressing shiv enough or something?
I believe the instant and dot are combined in sims, press the arrow somewhere around there and it will split them into the two parts
oh I see ty!
What’s the macro

its just vendetta and sepsis together
is sin "simpler" than sub for a newbie? i know thats probably not a very helpful question
I’d argue sub is probably more straightforward, especially while leveling
You just dance shadowstrike eviscerate
vs trying to put up bleeds and waiting for energy
i getcha
and poisoned knife/throw shuriken isnt a go to rotational button?
seems a non-mention in any guides
Nope, it’s kind of useless for boss stuff. You’d only ever press it on a boss fight if you have a mechanic that requires you to run out
No problem at all, that’s what we’re here for 
That's a bit crazy :>
Another reason to actually play in s4. Was planning on skipping altogether^^
Yeah it’s super nice to be able to have that available. I hope they keep something similar moving forward
Some kind of bad luck protection like that
Gotta say I'm glad I went back Horde and moved servers, because my Alliance guild basically stopped caring until the next expansion.
I’m here for other reasons

What reasons 

Bro? 

you also get free shadowstep every time you restealth (shadowstrike)
What if I wanna attack from a distance ( acrobatic strikes + long arm of the outlaw….)
Does Doomblade count for Lethal Dose?
Isnt it better for st to get rid of ct instead of doomblade for 2% dmg amp?
hi, let's say theoretically stealth-guarantees-poisons ceases to exist, because you know why
are we already at the stage where people are mad at losing an imaginary thing that didn't even exist yet, j/w
yes, also Lethal Dose is OP, expect nerf or change
Which is bis leggy for Sin in raids?
depending on CT tuning, you might wanna keep both
@bleak sky answer question
hello snow
duskwalker
if you play with dashing + amplifying posion u want to spend ur finishers with envenom I guess
idk where to put ct it doesnt even dupilcate while deathmark
dont think anyones losing too much sleep over this but I guess it would be better for it to be baked in somewhere
honestly shouldn't be an issue
again, it depends on tuning, we might not need to pick it for st
@bleak sky Thank you!
doomblade loses a bit of value with ct because you press envenom less with ct, hard to say
i know we're in rogue disc but you're here so 
what do we have now like 6 trees i would assume theyll release a couple every week or 2 now
dh cant be that far off
yes

under construction, do not hold breath, "when it's ready"
ye ye
but yeah, the 'stealth/dance build' or whatever that means to assassin, shouldn't also be the best poison build probably, and stealth guarantees poison turns a totally ignorable old effect into an insane powerhouse that is difficult to tune around if it continues to exist
Realz, can u confirm if the 8 point requirement is for first 3 rows? since the mockup images and talent calc are after 4th
Punz, that was the intention, but I'm keeping an eye on builds people make and seeing if they use the broken/wrong trees to make ones that dont have at least 8 in the first 3 rows... so far i havent found a single one
if that continues to be true, i'll probably just move the gate down to where most classes have it (where it is now on wowhead calc) and change nothing
roger that, appreciate the answer
I don’t think the 8 point threshold that you intend really interferes with much
seems really hard to make a build that doesn't pick up 8 points on the upper threshold
if i see a lot of unintended things happening that undermine the desired restriction and choices to be made across the tree, then it'll say first 3 rows
No, the mitochondria is the powerhouse
i think its mostly for raid specs that ignore one side in the general tree
but its still early, im not worried
something like this @strange python
another example will be if u go assa side, u want to pick maybe both the crit and poison dmg
and u dont wanna go down lets say outlaw colum
don't think that's an issue punz
other things are bigger fs
Yeah, that tree buys a lot of extra power, in fact it should definitely take Vigor 15% energy regen over 2% versa (or 7% finisher cost? unsure)... but yeah, it's a good example of something I don't want, the point budgets for bottom-of-tree should be pretty balanced and the gate being in the wrong place can potentially change that (basically +2)
or maybe it can't because that's what it needs for 20, didn't count
yeah it is
filling out all of the row 5 dps stuff is not really the idea, it's okay to do it but it should be competing with deeper talents to do so
🥂
that tea at the end too dont give us any incentive to spent points that way
tea can be okay for like pvp openers I guess but with current thought process, there's some questions about whether we even want seal fate in single target anymore, where the tea would be most useful
and in aoe where we absolutely want seal fate, tea is a questionable pick
im not sold on cold blood
Maybe make cheat death baseline and fill that spot with something else 🥸
same but I kinda want lethality
so gotta path through it
coldblood only make sense for me if you have a heavy hitter
like in the LK classic cominig i miss a lot opening some priests and mages with a ambush for 40% their lifes 
but sin dont really have a good hit for coldblood
Neither am I, maybe realz can comment on whether it’s supposed to work with dots
But with envenom taking a backseat as a filler
It’s a little questionable
coldblood makes way more sense for sub
I can see cold blood -> CT for aoe
big mut crit trust 
But that seems kinda rough
thistle tea, tiny toxic blade... unbuffed exsanguinate which will probably never be taken

i don't even mind cold blood, especially if it will work with dots
idk it just seems like symbols but worse right
but Tea and Tiny Toxic Blade hardly make sense as capstone traits
if coldblood gave us 100% crit for 3-4s on all or dots it would work
but as a one use its just meh
and then we also have MA
could ColdBlood give 100% crit on DD and X% crit on dot affected by it; it would be interesting; Like an on demand MA for rupture without covering the totality of duration
which makes our vanish a crit steroid
Exsang seems really strong with current dance
so then we have 2
what if marked to death changed places with coldblood?
sub can use coldblood better and we could use markerd
symbols of death?
yes that one
i guess i could see the comparison
yeah
i mean it works on finishers
but like
it definitely feels at least to me that they share a good portion of spell identity
will believe it once i see numbers, as i've gotten nothing but memed on for wanting it to be good

MA getting toned down to 30% apparently; couse it affacts dance? So its not we are getting sure crits anymore
we already didnt get sure crits and it felt ass
i don't think MA affects dance stealth does it?
just not actual "leaving stealth" abilities ya
I like the on demand crit Cold Blood brings; without sacrificing vanish. Remember how peaple were compaining about MA forcing Vanish as dps cd?
just catching up briefly
discussing whether or not Cold Blood should work on DoTs, in spirit I want it to but make sure that's okay, historically it hasn't
realz about choice one is it intentional for rogue tree not having any?
I mean dance on the tree atm is 30% damage, 100% poison chance, 30% crit chance, ambush, and subterfuge, all at once
That’s kinda busted
that said, why would an effect that says, "Your next Rupture deals 20% increased damage" work, but not "Your next Rupture has 100% increased critical strike chance" ?
it working on dots could have interesting repercussions on indiscriminate carnage eh
in that case all rupture ticks would crit? could be goood
Its like this fight was made for assassins rogues
as for Cold Blood + MFD positioning, I might try swapping them for now, even if it does work on dots it matches mechanical identities better that way (MFD in assassin-land, and CB in big evis mastery sub-land)
still, I'm starting to sour on the idea that either-or are MUST TAKEs... if I come up with really good passive alternatives, I wouldn't mind making one or both of them into choice nodes
i was gonna say a lot of sin rogues would really hate mfd being required 
this channel hates keybinds
they can be fun for sure but there's a lot of medium-CD stuff floating around, even if some of it is optional
stop talking about oxi like that 
yo i dont mind mfd
I just don’t like when it competes with vigor/deeper
im speaking for the crowd minalba
well it doesn't compete with those anymore =p
vigor/deeper obviously stayed direct competitors, but MFD moved out
in any case, i gtg will read more later, whispyr read my question from ~20min ago GOODBYE
cheers realz
ty for your time realz !
might be the stealth poison thing
or wait how long ago was that

hi, let's say theoretically stealth-guarantees-poisons ceases to exist, because you know why
are we already at the stage where people are mad at losing an imaginary thing that didn't even exist yet, j/w
I'm next in line whispyr watch your throne
LOL

fixing the poison bug though 👀
But I don’t think anyone cares too much
It used to be a passive from true stealth to make the opener not painful with venomous wounds if you get crushed
By application rng
Could just do that again
If you really want the QoL
it could be a simple poison passive anyway. change it for the 1° hit while in steath and its solves he problem
Dono, ColdBlood added with X% crit chance per tick would be neat
But on the necessity ladder I think stealth poisons is fairly low
doesn't read super good to me tbh
because ticks are weird
half ticks 
partial ticks
i got here a little late did realz told anything about venomous woulds being changed to early tree ?
think its assumed to be going where stealth poisons are
mentioned it on tree release day but nothing is set in stone
That would be the same as the affect we had before that made some rupture ticks hit twice; that was a good one.
Also affected by Deathmark and Carnage too
@balmy condor watching the podcast your on what a cutie

needing a talent point for it is just silly too
i got that feeling too
it is something that we had but it does seem a little weak in terms of power equity
should be a passive of poisons to help opening life before

your first steath hit apply your poisons
dont matter if youre steath for 10 minutes its only the first hit
wow Lethal Dose actually does read quite strong
its a little more than strong
if you take Dragon-Tempered Blades, and if Lethal works with Doomblade/Sepsis/Deathmark
yeah you def take Dance/Nightstalker/Exsang with that
biiig burst windows
SD is too broken not to take
Dance? nah
only powerful if there's enough synergy
we don't get CDR and we only get 1 charge
dance with nightstalker is pretty strong
ye i agree
but without reason to take it, it's kinda w/e
imagine pressing Cold Blood-Sepsis or Deathmark

sure its the combo but the other pieces are fine alone
if you nerf everything so SD stays good sin is dead
would definitely be nice to have thistle tea be stronger or something juicier
but whatever works
what are your thoughts on Tea turning into Shrouded Suffocation
what if cold blood works with sd mass goarrote spread carnage deathmark
Exsanguinate was being considered for that afaik
not that good
but it is one
no way lol
why would exsang be on the class tree o.O
why
No, No SS was being considred to be put in place of Exan...
oh
i dislike that idea
that could be good or ss can go somewhere on the spec tree whatever
yeah true
because of it limited uses
i like the idea of exsang and it being optional
don't mind it where it is tbh
i'd like to see TTB go
Also SS is a spec thing imo
having ss in the class tree would work if they want to make garrote more apealing for law and sub
^
for SS to work you would need to take subterfuge for m+ too
which they do realz already said
way out of the path
no you don't
improved garrote is in sin's tree
dont know if ss is strong enough to be a capstone
stronger than thistle i'm sure ya?
and you can only use once
no
"has no CD for 3 sec after breaking stealth+50% damage"
im just not sure if it fits instead of thistle tea or not
true forgot sin tree one
sin has no need to take Subterfuge in class tree whatsoever
yeah
unless you want to ambush for some god forsaken reason 
it already fits in what realz wants to do
Apart from Pvp yea
make garrote more apealing for the other 2
then what could replace TTB
a lot of discussion in here we are ignoring Pvp aspect
but SS would be good for m+ and bad for raid i think
would Kingsbane work in place of TTB or na
pvp will have their own talents right?
i kinda disagree
SS buffs garrote damage and makes it give 2cp iirc
hard disagree
They wont have a saparate class tree
would be fine in raid
3 cp
Read dance as a 1 minute cd
3cp? oh shit
And not as perma uptime as is the case with current sub
imagine ss night stalker amped deathmark
thats what i was trying to explain loil
Dance is insanely powerful
giga dmg
Even if there isn't cdr
2 cps is nice and all but when you open with mfd i dont think it matter a lot
the big thing was making it give 3cp not the damage
why would you open with mfd
?????
yea u dont do that
pre buff snd
We should not forget any interaction we break just thinking by PvE aspect will limit utility/function of whole class in PvP
yeah we don't do that
lol
i could see why you might if you have mfd anyway
but even then it's ehh
whats being broken in pvp
i don't see how anything we're discussing negatively affects pvp tho?
if anything it would be even better for pvp
honestly
pvp have profiles anyway. skill does X less in pvp
they can just balance pvp after with those
it's not like thistle tea is some insane utility for pvp tbh
this isn't BC or WoTLK
if it was it should be a pvp talent too
it likely is
utility usually trumps damage in pvp
stuns, DRs, survivability and peels
etc
having crimson vial/iron stomachj/rushed setup and prey over tea
pvp build will take Elusiveness as well i'm sure
yeah
so pvpers prob won't even make it to the bottom of the tree unless going for big burst Dance
@balmy condor

he wants ttb gone
ttb 
i'm in no way trying to complain about em, i just want em to be choices we would want to take in some situation
tree is dope otherwise
yeah not a huge fan of ttb
tea just dont make sence vigor would give you more energy anyway lol
tea is what ? 2 energy per sec ?
60s cd for 100 energy is 1.6666 "energy regen"
it does say max 3 charges
so if it has 3 charges in opener it could be more in first minute
just don't see you being 0 energy ever
what are you gonna do with extra energy anyway
this
spam 1 more envenom?
its probe a 70-80 energy on use

3 charges; 1 min cd; its 400 energy in 1 min. no??
no because you will only get 1 charge per minute
it would be just 1 min CD if that was the case; no charges
all charge abilities still have a CD per charge regen
so it'd still be 1 charge per min
Yea, at start it will be 3 charges; 300 enegry banked; at end of 1 min, 1 more comes...
yes
ah....
if the tea cd was 20s
we would have 3 charger por minute
now that starts making me interested
Why
You're likely not energy starved
And you can't generate enough cps to be starved really
also true
but with a shorter cd the skill cold be situational good
right now is just garbage
so its 400 energy at start of fight, then 100 each minute. Its value drops as fight goes longer
400 at the start?
3 charges and 1 more at 1 min mark?
i think he mean your own 100 + 3 uses of tea
Sure you're a little starved on the opener and have to wait 0.5sec to apply garrote
But after that?
Unrestricted finishers until tea charges are done ; Its envenom based likely
With what cracked up cp generation?
400+yur regen is quite bit of energy for burst
Do you think I am stating we will envenom only during that time?
i dont kwon how our energy will work yet
Please dont argue just to argue?
What
Venomous Wounds is goign from 8 to 5 too
Dev said vw is likely getting buffed
And moved up
Next
DF one getting upped to 8?
cool
i mean if they buffed tea x3 what it is now it would still be bad if we dont need more energy
ctrl + f "ttb" HMM

ttb
