If it was great where was the conduit energy

Checkmate boomer

gusty mirage
#

I can’t take anymore boring tundra

oak sky
#

Definitely not playing wrath classic

gusty mirage
#

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

spice spire
#

Same

gusty mirage
#

Plus sin in wrath required extra hit rating for poisons

#

And that my friends is a yikers

spice spire
#

Wrath is the first expansion I missed altogether

grizzled jay
#

i basically skipped 80% of wod

gusty mirage
#

Check it out, experiencing ICC in wrath is sick

oak sky
#

I would only play if they made it to like mop

grizzled jay
#

did like first tier then was done

gusty mirage
#

Besides boring tundra, every other zone was really cool

spice spire
#

I skipped 100% of wod, 90% of legion, 75% of Bfa

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

Just pretend nax didn’t exist as a raid and wrath was insanely good

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

Ulduar probably one of the best raids they ever made tbh

spice spire
#

I never got to do nax. Took a break after aq 40 (middle school) and never did it in wrath

gusty mirage
#

Yeah then you’d like wrath

oak sky
#

Took a break in aq40 (preschool)

gusty mirage
#

Nax was cool the first time around

spice spire
#

Don’t remind me agreon

oak sky
#

Stay woke

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

Yeah i was

spice spire
#

Oh no

gusty mirage
#

Do you know how much fucking runecloth I farmed

spice spire
#

I’d believe it

oak sky
#

I dont know what runecloth is

gusty mirage
#

I also farmed darnassus rep to get the sabers on my priest

#

I was a masochist

oak sky
#

Bro I'm older than wow ok

gusty mirage
#

You ever think how different your life would be without wow?

oak sky
#

Yes

spice spire
#

I’d literally have the cure for cancer

gusty mirage
#

Isn’t it crazy that this game brought you together with so many people?

spice spire
#

It truly is

gusty mirage
#

I’m still friends with my old GM/RL from vanilla

spice spire
#

I’m still friends with guildies way back when

gusty mirage
#

He’s married with 2 kids now. It’s crazy

spice spire
#

My oldest is cata despairge

gusty mirage
#

He was like 3 years older than me lol

Meanwhile my ass is arguing with toddlers in ravenholdt

Watch him get hammered and babysit him all night

spice spire
#

You’ve seen one photo of me ever hungover?

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

I don’t look like I do ketamine?

gusty mirage

I’ve never seen said photo

balmy condor

that's the difference

You’ve been in VC with me

#

You tell me

lunar gorge
#

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

oak sky
#

Bro its the hookworms talking

spice spire
#

I think I don’t but the EU brothers think I do

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

Damn whispyr beat me to it

#

I’m washed

spice spire
lunar gorge
#

I checked the FAQ and tried to look at pinned but nothing there 😦

spice spire
#

!guide

lunar gorge
#

My DPS is alright, my priority damage seems to be pretty good but my Overall is just not there 😦

spice spire
#

Pins are more for LATEST information.

balmy condor
lunar gorge
#

@balmy condor yes.

balmy condor
#

checks out

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

In keys that’s pretty normal; assassination is in its worst spot this xpac (outside of 9.0)

#

In m+

lunar gorge
#

im 262 with 4 set and i did 11k Overall in a 15

gusty mirage
#

Yeah sin is by far the most complex for less damage than the other 2 specs in m+

oak sky
#

I'm gonna be a slammer in df

spice spire
#

That’s about right, maybe slightly low, but it’s not like horrendously off

oak sky
#

Catch me getting the rank 1 title

gusty mirage
#

Like you’re putting in a lot more work for less damage than sub which is easier to play in keys

balmy condor
spice spire
#

Big thing is you want subterfuge and CT in keys.

balmy condor
#

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

lunar gorge
#

Master poisoner okay? I feel i did more with that over EP

balmy condor
#

master poisoner very bad

spice spire
#

It’s tuned pretty low this xpac

lunar gorge
#

L

spice spire
#

I’d still recommend ep personally

lunar gorge
#

So i assume im doing something wrong with that being my 2nd overall DPS

balmy condor
#

they do the same thing except one does it better KEKW

balmy condor
lunar gorge
#

Sadly

balmy condor
lunar gorge
#

I can show u the breakdown if u want

balmy condor
#

sure

lunar gorge
hollow river
#

garrote should def be higher

spice spire
#

You’re not garroting enough

balmy condor
#

and rupture

lunar gorge
#

Cries

hollow river
#

and rupture too tbh

balmy condor
#

and melee

#

why is fan so high

#

what

spice spire
#

Tabnstäb is an accurate description

hollow river
lunar gorge
#

Prob because i wasn't tab target garrotes 😦

balmy condor
#

fan of knives is like CRAZY high

drowsy crescent
#

would prefer that melee (Loyal Stoneborn) be much higher

hollow river
lunar gorge
#

Im used to sub rotation so that could be why sadge

balmy condor
#

typically it's between 7 and 8% here's it's 11.5

spice spire
#

Yeah yeah

lunar gorge
#

I press to make crimson tempest go br

balmy condor
#

are you using fan on 2 targets?

lunar gorge
#

No

#

4+

balmy condor
#

excuse me

spice spire
#

3+ now

balmy condor
#

you're using it LESS than you should

spice spire
#

With that GIGA buff, it’s better on 3+ kekl

hollow river
#

overcapping combo points maybe?

lunar gorge
#

Yo yo yo don't @ me like that

balmy condor
#

and it's still so high

spice spire
#

No you’re good!

#

Better to ask and learn than always play incorrectly 🙂

hollow river
#

are you going to 5 combo points every time? @lunar gorge

spice spire
#

It’s definitely not the sun life

lunar gorge
#

Yes

hollow river
#

or are you stopping at 4 and using a finisher

lunar gorge
#

I overcap a little

hollow river
#

you should be stopping

lunar gorge
#

NGl

hollow river
#

max or max -1 combo points

#

try not to overcap if you can

balmy condor
#

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

spice spire
#

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

lunar gorge
#

My slice and dice was 70% uptime

#

I have a 229 wep aswell, so that is probably a problem for melee hits

balmy condor
cedar otter
#

one question guys : shiv on CD or wait a little to cast it with vendetta

#

?

balmy condor
#

on cd

grizzled jay
#

you only sync very last vendetta if boss is gonna die in that vendetta iirc

lunar gorge
#

What keeps S&D rolling tho?

hollow river
grizzled jay
#

cut to the chase

spice spire
#

Cut to the chase

lunar gorge
#

Oh

grizzled jay
#

our passive we've had since Cata

spice spire
#

Envenoming

grizzled jay
spice spire
hollow river
#

ahem

grizzled jay
#

:oldge:

balmy condor
#

and it was passive in wod

spice spire
#

And it was t reintroduced until 9.0.5

lunar gorge
#

Should I be spending a lot of CP on evenom?

hollow river
#

9.0 sad days

grizzled jay
#

you should look to keep 100% uptime on your 3 dots and then spend extras on Envenom

spice spire
#

And as a dump on st when your dots are good, and you’ve nothing else to do

lunar gorge
#

In ST is it Prio after Dots?

#

Ah okay

grizzled jay
#

prio envenom if snd is about to fall off

lunar gorge
#

Even over Dots?

grizzled jay
#

especially over crimson tempest ye

lunar gorge
#

Is it Stupid to put CT on a boss?

spice spire
#

No

grizzled jay
#

CT is good once you have 4-pc and double leggo

ebon notch
#

wait but snd in packs is not prio

spice spire
#

If you’re talented into CT, you want to maintain CT period

ebon notch
#

hold on i didnt read

#

and typed before i didnt read

#

im sry

spice spire
lunar gorge
#

Sounds like I got some work to do 🙂

#

Stat prio crit haste?

grizzled jay
#

haste raid crit m+

hollow river
#

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

lunar gorge
#

so uhhh, my SIM tells me to press ambush. Is that true?

balmy condor
#

technically yes

#

I wouldn't worry about it too much

ebon notch
balmy condor
#

same

midnight reef
#

Hows Sin doing in raids?

balmy condor
#

good

midnight reef
#

All i needed to hear 🙂

slow marsh
#

hi you are all cute

#

that's all

#

bye

lucid brook
#

o/ is garrote a part of normal dps rotation or is it more of a stealth opener against casters?

oak sky
#

you want to maintain garrote since its a dot

#

!guide

midnight reef
#

Sub or sin for raids?

#

Which is easier to handle?

lucid brook
balmy condor
#

Sin is generally better

lucid brook
#

Personally outlaw confuses me more often than not.. having to use a buff to do AoE? o.O

balmy condor
#

I feel like that’s the easiest part of outlaw

#

Press button, get aoe

lucid brook
#

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

echo patrol
#

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.

balmy condor
#

And then you equip blunderbuss

velvet ridge
#

lethal dose and vicious venoms are my 2 favorite talents, more of those plz dev thx

deft flicker
lucid brook
#

But it's not a spin2win attack like shuriken storm or fan of blades ;c

tame stump
#

Technically, Blade Rush makes you spin and does AOE

deft flicker
#

Roll the Bones is our spin2win

rocky sluice
#

for cache trinket, do you want haste or wand? for pure ST

balmy condor
#

!cache

prisma monolithBOT
#

Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand

rocky sluice
#

oh okie

#

use axe on mythic jailer prog then?

balmy condor
#

always

rocky sluice
#

thanks

balmy condor

strange python
#

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?

late birch
#

Yes, I do believe so

strange python
#

I really hope so

late birch
#

I think a picture showing something like that was shown during the announcement

strange python
#

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.

late birch
#

Yep, it would be insane if blizzard didnt include that into the talent system

midnight mist
#

yeah they said we will be able to save and share "loadouts"

strange python
#

Awesome, thanks

late birch
#

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?

balmy condor
#

find weakness on top of that makes it essentially an aoe vendetta but stronger

late birch
#

Damn, didnt look that much into it. That's insane

marble hemlock
#

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.

No exsang

balmy condor

there's a tree with exsang in the spreedsheet

#

:)

marble hemlock
#

balmy condor

yeah well it's 4am and I'm not changing the picture right now I'll fix it tomorrow or something idk

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

balmy condor

Having to organize 4 podcasts in a week on a 2 day notice

#

Is not the most fun I’ve ever had

marble hemlock
#

Whispyr probably busy all week wondering which dress to pack to look cute for our irl date

balmy condor
#

I can’t decide which pair of cat ears so I’m bringing both

strange python
#

send pics of the ears

marble hemlock
#

More important to bring the tail

strange python
#

and we can vote?

balmy condor

Most importantly I need to be up in 5 hours

They need to invite varas, he has based opinions

Fuck forgot to swap to my alt

and one guest

empty hinge
#

is it a surprise guest

vestal wren
#

koji

midnight mist
#

ah thats cool

ebon notch
#

Gotta love koji

prisma gorge
#

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

violet jackal
#

envenom is just a maintenace filler for slice and dice, bleed upstime is the most relevant thing, priority on garrote and rupture

jovial adder
#

NGL I hope they pull a sylv and burn part of the rogue tree down

bleak sky
#

why is that

vestal wren
#

he likely has pyromania and like things to burn

twilit hollow
#

I'm just sad about the lack of legion stuff in the tree

vestal wren
#

kingsbane?

#

or what exactly do you miss

gusty mirage

Kingsbane being mentioned despairge

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?

gusty mirage
#

It’s a first iteration, and a damn good one at that

#

We’ll be fine

dark garnet
#

Cant you build to barely ever press fok?

#

Auto and mut aoe dmg

gusty mirage
#

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

strange python
#

i mean fok isn't inherently bad - when you get it for free haha

gusty mirage
#

We’ll have to see how things shake up in the next 5 months

strange python
#

i love having it

#

yeah

bleak sky
gusty mirage
#

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

spice spire
#

Yes man

#

Compared to 9.0

dark garnet
#

Talent below shiv

spice spire
#

This feels like a legitimate embarrassment of riches

strange python
#

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.

dark garnet
#

Maybe im high and read it wrong

bleak sky
#

?

dark garnet
#

Ah i read it as 50% dmg on all targets affected by poisons

gusty mirage
#

But unfortunately with this style of talent trees it’s inevitable

strange python
#

agree

gusty mirage
#

But this kind of tree does allow for some cool shit to be put in

#

So it’s kind of a trade off

spice spire
bleak sky
#

oh no quake

#

you don't have a clueless?

spice spire
#

No despairge

gusty mirage
#

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

dark garnet
#

How many different poisons and bleeds do we get?

icy agate
#

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?

Being an early talent tree means more time for feedback too

Good spot to be

bleak sky

I just want to play with the new trees for a bit

#

gimme alpha

spice spire
#

All in all

bleak sky
#

or beta

gusty mirage
#

AFAIK venomous wounds is going to get moved further up the tree already

spice spire
#

Rogues looking good

gusty mirage
#

So like, it’s huge

spice spire
#

Give sub better utility tho

strange python
#

Imagine being a shaman and having to wait til 2 weeks before release to even have a talent tree

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

God bless

gusty mirage
#

Announced the pre-patch for SL and we still had TBD talents in our trees

strange python
#

I think they purposely meme on shamans now or something

thorny pond
#

Biggest tier for them in a while

gusty mirage
#

And flag just didn’t work at all

#

Like

spice spire
#

It worked

gusty mirage
#

It didn’t do anything

spice spire
#

But you could like

gusty mirage
#

No

thorny pond
#

Flag wasn’t flag though

spice spire
#

Just not press it again

gusty mirage
#

In beta it didn’t work

thorny pond
#

We were kinky bois

spice spire
#

And no change

#

Oh I’m talking 9.0 kekl

thorny pond
#

Slaughter was it right?

gusty mirage
#

Like the button did nothing

#

Yea

thorny pond
#

Old code iirc

#

So flag didn’t work

icy agate
#

it changed so many times

spice spire
#

It was coral but bad

strange python

I'm gonna miss stepsis doing 90% of someone's health

Then I was hit with a PREPATCH INC SL READY

And I’m like wut

gusty mirage

How

#

SL was not prepared

gusty mirage
#

Also, really enjoyed those crimson vial pickpocket buffs we were promised at blizzcon

spice spire
#

No ones prepared for the beachpatrol tho

gusty mirage
thorny pond
#

They put the frozen pizza that was the expansion, in the oven then set the temp

strange python

lol think next xpac will have some pockets to piock

gusty mirage
#

Where people go to stalk streamers apparently

thorny pond
spice spire
#

Nice

gusty mirage
#

Too soon?

spice spire
#

Didn’t that person get indicted like, yesterday?

gusty mirage
#

He took a plea yesterday

spice spire

Nice

#

Good timing on the joke (I knew nothing of it until yesterday)

I’m waiting to go to blizzcon and have @bleak sky stalk me

Dude’s a homie

But yeah our trees are kinda sick rn

And can only get better

Kinda?

Don’t sit on a fence. They’re great

gusty mirage
vestal wren
thorny pond
#

I hate mfd

vestal wren
#

and also the general tree

gusty mirage
#

Converting nature damages to shadow is enormous

vestal wren
#

30% of its damage

#

what just means adding fw to it

gusty mirage
#

Just cool thematic stuff tbh

vestal wren
#

interessting

stiff frost
#

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

vestal wren
#

i mean, i think the tree has some cool choices

gusty mirage
#

I read outlaw’s and saw “long arm of the outlaw” and closed it

strange python
#

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.

stiff frost
#

I will hand in my membership card

thorny pond
#

Don’t shoot

vestal wren
#

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

gusty mirage
#

Sub tree just needs some stuff moved around. Right now putting deeper behind aoe stuff is kinda sus

icy agate
#

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

brave gyro
#

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

gusty mirage
#

But it also kinda makes sense that black powder benefits the most from deeper

strange python
#

I mean what is wrong with balancing sub off of a lot less uptime on shadow dance.

vestal wren
gusty mirage
#

Yeah needs some more cohesion

vestal wren
#

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

gusty mirage
#

Only thing I don’t really agree with is why ER/Resounding is in the general tree

icy agate
#

assassination needs venomous wounds right up top but they've already noted the energy issues and working on it

vestal wren
#

given that you skip a certain amount of points always

gusty mirage
#

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

vestal wren
#

agree

brave gyro
thorny pond
#

Yea can we trade in stepsis and ER for SBS?

icy agate
#

'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

gusty mirage
#

Honestly, flag makes the most sense for all 3 in the general tree

vestal wren
spice spire
strange python
#

I mean without the conduit and legondary - i can't imagine stepsis will even be that good anyway

bleak sky
spice spire
#

I love it, but with all of the bugs

thorny pond
vestal wren
#

and unless you take optional nodes, you probably won't have a lot of build variance

spice spire
#

still

vestal wren
#

besides some of the capstone nodes seem a bit meh

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

It makes sense to leave it

brave gyro
thorny pond
#

Fuu, you know we’re all skipping defensives and utility for dps

gusty mirage
#

But I don’t think it ever will

vestal wren
#

^^

thorny pond
#

Exactly

strange python
#

I'm taking cheat death and leeching 😄

icy agate
#

supercharge fits with things like seal fate more than some cd bloat that should be in the spec trees imo

ah, the days where recup was refunding energy and we had also combat readiness

#

How are people getting those insane Sepsis dots? Does it scale with something I should combine it with?

bold heron
#

Master Assassin + Unity and Set

gusty mirage
#

Unity doesn’t affect the damage sepsis does

torpid fulcrum
#

I'm off to oneshot some peoplePU_PepeNarutoRun

strange python
#

we call it giving people the stepsis

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?

viscid spear
#

Sub has Soothing Shadows

strange python
#

How parse on lihuvim and anduin without cache

red plaza

Reroll warlock or surv hunter

spice spire

Mine never seems to do as much

bleak sky

same damage, shortened window

misty holly
#

Well when its stun, and dead in 3 seconds it makes a difference hehe

stiff frost
#

what slot is everyone putting unity on

gusty mirage
#

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

craggy nimbus
#

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?

#

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?

daring kraken
#

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

soft tapir
#

oh I see ty!

ebon notch
pulsar apex
#

is sin "simpler" than sub for a newbie? i know thats probably not a very helpful question

gusty mirage
#

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

pulsar apex
#

i getcha

#

and poisoned knife/throw shuriken isnt a go to rotational button?

#

seems a non-mention in any guides

gusty mirage
#

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

pulsar apex
#

ok so its not getting a premium keybind

#

ty for all the help btw

gusty mirage
#

No problem at all, that’s what we’re here for aGibbonHug

craggy nimbus
gusty mirage
#

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

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

@bleak sky answer question

bleak sky

hello snow

bleak sky

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

@bleak sky Thank you!

bleak sky

#

Realz, DH tree is still far away yeah?

oak sky
bleak sky
#

i know we're in rogue disc but you're here so SmileW

oak sky
#

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

sharp falcon
bleak sky
sharp falcon
#

under construction, do not hold breath, "when it's ready"

bleak sky
#

ye ye

sharp falcon
#

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

brave gyro
#

Realz, can u confirm if the 8 point requirement is for first 3 rows? since the mockup images and talent calc are after 4th

sharp falcon
#

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

brave gyro
#

roger that, appreciate the answer

strange python
#

I don’t think the 8 point threshold that you intend really interferes with much

bleak sky
#

seems really hard to make a build that doesn't pick up 8 points on the upper threshold

lucid birch
#

Isn’t the powerhouse just squeezing cds together like shiv exsang and DM

#

And dance

sharp falcon
#

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

spice spire
brave gyro
#

but its still early, im not worried

#

something like this @strange python

strange python
#

ah yea none of my builds went like this

#

although I can see people doing that

brave gyro
#

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

bleak sky
#

don't think that's an issue punz

oak sky
#

other things are bigger fs

sharp falcon
#

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

jovial adder
#

🥂

chilly marsh
#

that tea at the end too dont give us any incentive to spent points that way

balmy condor
#

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

oak sky
#

im not sold on cold blood

jovial adder
#

Maybe make cheat death baseline and fill that spot with something else 🥸

bleak sky
#

so gotta path through it

chilly marsh
#

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 Macky

#

but sin dont really have a good hit for coldblood

balmy condor
#

But with envenom taking a backseat as a filler

#

It’s a little questionable

chilly marsh
#

coldblood makes way more sense for sub

balmy condor
#

I can see cold blood -> CT for aoe

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

But that seems kinda rough

hollow river
#

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

oak sky
#

idk it just seems like symbols but worse right

hollow river
#

but Tea and Tiny Toxic Blade hardly make sense as capstone traits

chilly marsh
#

if coldblood gave us 100% crit for 3-4s on all or dots it would work

oak sky
#

like a 45s cd for 1 ability to crit is what cold blood is right

#

idk

chilly marsh
#

but as a one use its just meh

oak sky
#

and then we also have MA

storm onyx
#

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

oak sky
#

which makes our vanish a crit steroid

balmy condor
oak sky
#

so then we have 2

chilly marsh
#

what if marked to death changed places with coldblood?

#

sub can use coldblood better and we could use markerd

oak sky
#

i mean

#

isnt cold blood just what symbols is rn but worse

hollow river
#

symbols of death?

bleak sky
#

yes that one

hollow river
#

i guess i could see the comparison

oak sky
#

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

hollow river
storm onyx
oak sky
#

we already didnt get sure crits and it felt ass

hollow river
#

i don't think MA affects dance stealth does it?

oak sky
#

everything works in dance supposedly

#

but break stealth like subt is different

hollow river
#

just not actual "leaving stealth" abilities ya

storm onyx
#

I like the on demand crit Cold Blood brings; without sacrificing vanish. Remember how peaple were compaining about MA forcing Vanish as dps cd?

sharp falcon
#

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

chilly marsh
#

realz about choice one is it intentional for rogue tree not having any?

balmy condor
#

That’s kinda busted

sharp falcon
#

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" ?

bleak sky
thin trout
#

Yet killed jailer

#

Cant believe i played outlaw for like 5 nights om this boss

chilly marsh
thin trout
#

Its like this fight was made for assassins rogues

sharp falcon
#

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

bleak sky
#

a choice for those 2 would be neat

oak sky
#

i was gonna say a lot of sin rogues would really hate mfd being required OMEGAKEKW

#

this channel hates keybinds

sharp falcon
#

they can be fun for sure but there's a lot of medium-CD stuff floating around, even if some of it is optional

bleak sky
oak sky
#

yo i dont mind mfd

balmy condor
#

I just don’t like when it competes with vigor/deeper

oak sky
#

im speaking for the crowd minalba

sharp falcon
#

well it doesn't compete with those anymore =p

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s why I’m not complaining

#

Me be quiet

#

:>

sharp falcon
#

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

hi, let's say theoretically stealth-guarantees-poisons ceases to exist, because you know why

lucid birch

I tried to ping you but your name didn’t pop up so I pinged minalba

balmy condor

Oh

#

No we don’t care

#

Stealth poisons is quality of life atm

bleak sky
lucid birch
#

LOL

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

The dance interaction is the strong one

#

It’s a neat idea

oak sky
balmy condor
#

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

chilly marsh
storm onyx
#

Dono, ColdBlood added with X% crit chance per tick would be neat

balmy condor
#

But on the necessity ladder I think stealth poisons is fairly low

bleak sky
#

because ticks are weird

oak sky
#

half ticks starege

bleak sky
#

YEPJAM partial ticks

chilly marsh
#

i got here a little late did realz told anything about venomous woulds being changed to early tree ?

oak sky

think its assumed to be going where stealth poisons are

obtuse robin
#

@balmy condor watching the podcast your on what a cutie

oak sky
#

this seems to imply vw going in the stealth poison slot

#

this wording

obtuse robin
oak sky
#

stealth-guarantees-poisons ceases to exist, because you know why

#

just my interpretation

chilly marsh
#

needing a talent point for it is just silly too

hollow river
oak sky
#

it is something that we had but it does seem a little weak in terms of power equity

chilly marsh
#

should be a passive of poisons to help opening life before

hollow river
chilly marsh
#

your first steath hit apply your poisons

#

dont matter if youre steath for 10 minutes its only the first hit

hollow river
#

wow Lethal Dose actually does read quite strong

oak sky
#

its a little more than strong

hollow river
#

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

chilly marsh
#

SD is too broken not to take

hollow river
#

Dance? nah

#

only powerful if there's enough synergy

#

we don't get CDR and we only get 1 charge

oak sky
#

dance with nightstalker is pretty strong

hollow river
#

ye i agree

#

but without reason to take it, it's kinda w/e

#

imagine pressing Cold Blood-Sepsis or Deathmark

chilly marsh
#

sure its the combo but the other pieces are fine alone

#

if you nerf everything so SD stays good sin is dead

oak sky
#

would definitely be nice to have thistle tea be stronger or something juicier

#

but whatever works

hollow river
#

what are your thoughts on Tea turning into Shrouded Suffocation

obtuse robin
#

what if cold blood works with sd mass goarrote spread carnage deathmark

storm onyx
hollow river
#

nvm i see what you mean Black

#

(:

obtuse robin
#

but it is one

hollow river
#

why would exsang be on the class tree o.O

hollow river
storm onyx
hollow river
#

i dislike that idea

oak sky
obtuse robin
#

you would have to change or remove improved garrote

#

to bring in ss

hollow river
#

yeah true

chilly marsh
hollow river
#

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

storm onyx
#

Also SS is a spec thing imo

obtuse robin
#

having ss in the class tree would work if they want to make garrote more apealing for law and sub

hollow river
#

^

chilly marsh
#

for SS to work you would need to take subterfuge for m+ too

obtuse robin
#

which they do realz already said

chilly marsh
#

way out of the path

hollow river
#

improved garrote is in sin's tree

oak sky
hollow river
obtuse robin
#

o.o

#

ofc it is

chilly marsh
hollow river
#

"has no CD for 3 sec after breaking stealth+50% damage"

obtuse robin
#

ss is stronger then er

#

and tea

#

and if u sd its not even close

oak sky
#

im just not sure if it fits instead of thistle tea or not

chilly marsh
hollow river
#

sin has no need to take Subterfuge in class tree whatsoever

#

yeah

#

unless you want to ambush for some god forsaken reason OMEGAKEKW

obtuse robin
storm onyx
#

Apart from Pvp yea

obtuse robin
#

make garrote more apealing for the other 2

hollow river
#

then what could replace TTB

storm onyx
#

a lot of discussion in here we are ignoring Pvp aspect

chilly marsh
#

but SS would be good for m+ and bad for raid i think

hollow river
#

would Kingsbane work in place of TTB or na

chilly marsh
hollow river
#

SS buffs garrote damage and makes it give 2cp iirc

obtuse robin
#

hard disagree

storm onyx
hollow river
#

would be fine in raid

obtuse robin
#

3 cp

bleak sky
hollow river
#

3cp? oh shit

bleak sky
#

And not as perma uptime as is the case with current sub

obtuse robin
#

imagine ss night stalker amped deathmark

hollow river
bleak sky
#

Dance is insanely powerful

obtuse robin
#

giga dmg

bleak sky
#

Even if there isn't cdr

chilly marsh
#

2 cps is nice and all but when you open with mfd i dont think it matter a lot

oak sky
hollow river
#

?????

obtuse robin
#

yea u dont do that

chilly marsh
#

pre buff snd

storm onyx
#

We should not forget any interaction we break just thinking by PvE aspect will limit utility/function of whole class in PvP

hollow river
#

lol

#

i could see why you might if you have mfd anyway

#

but even then it's ehh

hollow river
#

if anything it would be even better for pvp

#

honestly

chilly marsh
#

pvp have profiles anyway. skill does X less in pvp

bleak sky
#

And pvp can be tuned while leaving PvE alone

#

Wouldn't be concerned

chilly marsh
#

they can just balance pvp after with those

hollow river
#

it's not like thistle tea is some insane utility for pvp tbh

#

this isn't BC or WoTLK

chilly marsh
#

if it was it should be a pvp talent too

obtuse robin
#

yea grabing all the utility up top might be worth more then tea

#

in pvp

hollow river
#

it likely is

#

utility usually trumps damage in pvp

#

stuns, DRs, survivability and peels

#

etc

obtuse robin
#

having crimson vial/iron stomachj/rushed setup and prey over tea

hollow river
#

pvp build will take Elusiveness as well i'm sure

obtuse robin
#

yeah

balmy condor
hollow river
#

so pvpers prob won't even make it to the bottom of the tree unless going for big burst Dance

#

@balmy condor

obtuse robin
hollow river
#

what are your thoughts on TTB and thistle tea

#

i'm curious 🙂

obtuse robin
#

he wants ttb gone

spice spire
#

ttb despairge

obtuse robin
#

i think he wants tea gone 2

#

along with exsang

#

iirc

hollow river
#

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

oak sky
#

ttb

#

right

hollow river
#

tree is dope otherwise

oak sky
#

yeah not a huge fan of ttb

chilly marsh
#

tea just dont make sence vigor would give you more energy anyway lol

#

tea is what ? 2 energy per sec ?

obtuse robin
#

makes sense like in the first 5 sec

#

then what

chilly marsh
#

60s cd for 100 energy is 1.6666 "energy regen"

hollow river
#

it does say max 3 charges

obtuse robin
#

its gone during lust tho

#

prolly

hollow river
#

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

chilly marsh
hollow river
#

spam 1 more envenom?

chilly marsh
#

its probe a 70-80 energy on use

hollow river
storm onyx
#

3 charges; 1 min cd; its 400 energy in 1 min. no??

chilly marsh
#

no because you will only get 1 charge per minute

storm onyx
#

it would be just 1 min CD if that was the case; no charges

chilly marsh
#

its like SD now

#

you start with 2 charge and get one back

hollow river
#

so it'd still be 1 charge per min

storm onyx
hollow river
#

yes

chilly marsh
#

if the tea cd was 20s

#

we would have 3 charger por minute

#

now that starts making me interested

bleak sky
#

Why

#

You're likely not energy starved

#

And you can't generate enough cps to be starved really

chilly marsh
#

also true

#

but with a shorter cd the skill cold be situational good

#

right now is just garbage

storm onyx
#

so its 400 energy at start of fight, then 100 each minute. Its value drops as fight goes longer

bleak sky
#

400 at the start?

storm onyx
#

3 charges and 1 more at 1 min mark?

bleak sky
#

Sure but

#

I don't see how having that much energy is good

chilly marsh
#

i think he mean your own 100 + 3 uses of tea

bleak sky
#

Sure you're a little starved on the opener and have to wait 0.5sec to apply garrote

#

But after that?

storm onyx
#

Unrestricted finishers until tea charges are done ; Its envenom based likely

bleak sky
#

With what cracked up cp generation?

storm onyx
#

400+yur regen is quite bit of energy for burst

bleak sky
#

Cp generation

#

Not energy

#

How are you getting cp to spend them

storm onyx
#

Do you think I am stating we will envenom only during that time?

chilly marsh
#

i dont kwon how our energy will work yet

storm onyx
#

Please dont argue just to argue?

bleak sky
#

What

chilly marsh
#

Venomous Wounds is goign from 8 to 5 too

bleak sky
#

And moved up

#

Next

chilly marsh
#

nice didnt know about the buff

#

it just makes tea even more pointless

storm onyx
#

cool

chilly marsh
#

i mean if they buffed tea x3 what it is now it would still be bad if we dont need more energy

sharp falcon
#
