The idea to make poison bomb apply a poison dot debuff instead of just damage while standing in it sounds like the perfect fix to me. Could also add some extra synergy with Lethal Dose depending on how they change that to tune it down from being incredibly OP

meager granite
#

Also, global question I have, what would be the impact of cutting 1 point in cut to the chase, and putting in doomblade (which is quite strong in its current status)? We would have to sometimes press SnD again instead of an envenom but since it could not be that high on damage. (this would also make a +2% overall damage due to lethal dose)

Love rogue theorycrafting

balmy condor

ye

so will just have to see

Nothing to theorycraft class sucks

#

Do not bring

meager granite
#

Hard to fathom assa without sealed fate, I'm scared that the spec gets even slower to play

strange python
#

sigil > cache?

main solar
#

Things will definitely change and be moved around. I feel like its kind of pointless to try and figure out optimal builds damage wise, but more to look at specific talents and figure out their value, if it needs some changes, or should be moved somewhere else in the tree.

#

Seal Fate for one feels like a staple for assassination is a bit too low in the tree imo. Or perhaps the problem is that the capstone thistle tea is.... meh to put it lightly compared others talents that force you to spend too many talents elsewhere

toxic locust
#

a thistle tea buff would be great

#

i think seal fate and FW are both great but thistle tea vs dance is just not a choice

main solar
#

also the lack of being able to jump between sides of the tree, since you literally have to go alllllll the way down one side of the tree for their last 3 talents

toxic locust
#

if tea was buffed then we could also maybe get "sinlaw" and "sinsub" builds

#

like sublaw and subsin

storm onyx
#

I was surprised to see Sealfate that low in tree; considering how spec revolves around it and it is baseline

main solar
#

Not a fan of mfd being a forced playstyle just for going down the sub path. Cheat death also feels in a shitty spot. Cold Blood is kinda of boring and can probably take some looking at to make it worth taking up a keybind slot. I can honestly see Vigor or Deeper Stratagem being made a choice node somehow. ER is meh for assassination, but maybe a better choice for the other specs? If so, nothing wrong with that, not EVERY talent in the tree has to be appealing to every spec as long as they have other equally appealing options. Aside from that, and the seal fate/thistle tea stuff mentioned above, the general tree feels pretty good to me.

storm onyx
#

just read, in Cata; SealFate was at tier 7; then moved up to tier 4 for more access

toxic locust
#

i think realz said swapping mfd and cold blood was likely

#

and maybe adding choice nodes to them

storm onyx
#

rightly so tho

main solar
#

just adding my feedback mostly. I doubt mfd will be completely removed, but it should absolutely be moved somewhere to make it feel more like an option than forced to take it for cheat, FW, or shadow dance.

storm onyx
#

yea, would like it to be an option also

toxic locust
#

they're good spots for choice nodes

storm onyx
#

I am not sure I like choices a lot; they limit play possibilities

toxic locust
#

i'm pretty sure their intent is exactly the opposite of that

storm onyx
#

I would prefer an off branch like CT is for example

toxic locust
#

either works

oak sky
#

they want certain things to be choices

storm onyx
#

A choice node automatically blocks either of the talent. it limits possibitities

toxic locust
#

for what's gonna happen to sin spec tree: VW buffed to 7-8 and replacing stealth poisons, shrouded suffocation likely taking it's spot, kingsbane maybe becoming a choice node with TTB, SBS maybe choice with sepsis

storm onyx
#

It makes them accessable at set tier depth yea, i understand that part

main solar
#

A choice node could work if the choices fit. I'm not directly for or against it. Like I said, Vigor and DS could be a good choice node. Im not sure I'd agree for mfd being a choice node. Its equivalent in the tree is cold blood and I feel like that's hardly even a choice numerically. If they found a compelling choice to mirror it, sure. If not, an off branch seems a better fit.

storm onyx
#

Dev said he may consider Coldblood to cover dots

toxic locust
#

also MFD and cold blood wouldn't be a choice between each other

#

it'd be MFD on sin side vs something else, and cold blood on sub side vs something else

storm onyx
#

aha

toxic locust
#

definitely makes the sin side more appealing

storm onyx
#

interesting how ColdBlood is originally an Assa talent, and how ppl swear its Sub )

main solar
#

thats seems weird to me thematically

toxic locust
#

it fits sub's big finishers and amps

#

meanwhile sin gets marked for death and deathmark

#

cold blood also was a sub pvp talent for a while

storm onyx
#

I sometimes miss the old Assasination; before devs swapped the specs dmg profiles, guess my affinity is a bit nostalgic

main solar
#

dragonflight looks like it'll make assassination pretty interesting with some of the new tools and synergies. Interested in seeing how all the talents settle down and what kind of playstyles we can have. Just as long as we don't have a repeat of this current raid tier lol.

toxic locust
#

it looks pretty close to being the ideal version of modern sin

storm onyx
#

This tier was obvious tell tale they need more raid difficulties; or the old 'Hard Mode' choices i guess

oak sky
#

what

#

you think they should make lfr easier?

storm onyx
#

no

#

isnt it already toned down twice?

oak sky
#

I dont understand what you were trying to say

#

like

#

the raid difficulties are fine

main solar
#

I personally just hate snapshotting stuff. Also, anytime crimson tempest becomes a ST gain. Honestly feel like it should just be kept to being an AoE thing, or if its going to have some ST gain, it should be lower down in the tree.

oak sky
#

its pretty easy to make ct not an st gain

#

you just make envenom good

storm onyx
# oak sky I dont understand what you were trying to say

General critisizm about this tier was that it was tuned for extra high-end raiders; and they needed to nerf the bosses how many times to render it accessable to majority. I was suggesting they should bring back the "Hard Mode' Boss choices for that target instead of releasing high end difficulty and toning it down gradually maybe. So more guild would be able to advance early in time

main solar
#

could give doomblade back its envenom buff per bleed portion, but then its be way over valued of a point for where it is

oak sky
#

well

#

dashing is back

#

and theres that envenom poison talent

#

which obviously could be better

#

ttk in the same row

storm onyx
#

I am not a fan of getting CT for st either; but not sure it will be that way with 4set+Obedience gone

oak sky
#

its not unlikely that we take it in raid since as a 1 point gain it might be better than a lot of pure st talents when we have fights with adds

main solar
#

Also depends on how they adjust lethal dose

storm onyx
#

it becomes a choice then; as you stated if we take it for adds

main solar
#

if it counts towards it, could definitely see it still being used

gloomy knoll
#

dashing makes ct worse in st

#

by itself

oak sky
#

but yeah think about it this way ct is off to the side so it competes with every single talent in the tree in a way

balmy condor
storm onyx
#

LethalDOse will change; maybe they will limit it to Garrote+Rupture only? There are ways to tone it down other than lowering the prcentage gain

oak sky
#

so if any point at the end of one of our roads is weaker than ct we take ct

toxic locust
#

ct is one of those things that i never want to aoe without and i never want to st with

oak sky
#

uh

#

bad take

oak sky
#

its a great aoe button imo

#

super thematic to sin

balmy condor
#

that's what he said

oak sky
#

dot good

#

im blind

storm onyx
#

But yea; it will get slower; inevitably. Maybe at start of expansion

main solar
#

I enjoy CT in M+, but it just feel pretty bad to use in ST.

toxic locust
#

ct aoe good st bad

fast nacelle
#

I want ss azerite trait back for m+

toxic locust
#

good news!

oak sky
#

Maybege

toxic locust
#

for what's gonna happen to sin spec tree: VW buffed to 7-8 and replacing stealth poisons, shrouded suffocation likely taking it's spot, kingsbane maybe becoming a choice node with TTB, SBS maybe choice with sepsis
here

fast nacelle
#

Susge what is this

toxic locust
#

tl;dr of stuff realz talked about

balmy condor
#

the tldr of 2 hours of realz talked about today

toxic locust
#

(that's the rogue tree dev)

fast nacelle
#

Oh cool

#

Wow good stuff

gloomy knoll
#

sin just straight up best spec in the game now

#

with those changes

#

and by best i mean coolest

toxic locust
#

i don't even know what to complain about after those things are done

hollow river
#

POGG

gloomy knoll
#

literally perfect

toxic locust
#

there's like, the shiv stuff and tea being weak

#

who fucking cares at that point

gloomy knoll
#

i don't even know what to add same unless it's just like

balmy condor
#

yeah and the best TC as well for sure (not biased) [I look at myself in the mirror sexually]

gloomy knoll
#

some broken ass shit

#

lmao

#

like

oak sky
gloomy knoll
#

mockup?

oak sky
#

with the pb points

#

1 point zold

#

kingsbane

#

HEAVILY

gloomy knoll
#

i'm cool with zoldicks being a 3 point investment

#

it's a pretty powerful ability

fast nacelle
#

okay so we do have a dev for rogues now?

toxic locust
#

yup

fast nacelle
#

it was kinda sus that we got our stuff done so quick

toxic locust
#

realz is the dev for rogue and dh

fast nacelle
#

compared to other expansions

toxic locust
#

he's quite talkative

hollow river
#

scarizard was also pretty talkative

bleak sky
gloomy knoll
#

he was also kind of a dick

fast nacelle
#

i only liked assa tier set tbh

gloomy knoll
bleak sky
#

sin tier was bad

fast nacelle
#

i mean it was the only "cool" one

bleak sky
#

sub tier was shit

hollow river
#

lol nah

bleak sky
#

outlaw tier also bad

gloomy knoll
#

i mean sin tiers ok

#

its just the builds that came out of it and the fights not being st

oak sky
gloomy knoll
#

kind of make it suck

storm onyx
fast nacelle
#

compared to ol and sub assa was at least engaging
you got the aoe amp and the snapshotting

gloomy knoll
#

zoldyck is just good

fast nacelle
#

ppl calling it shit is ppl who couldnt handle it in progression

gloomy knoll
#

especially in aoe

#

and having an execute is huge for any raid encounter

fast nacelle
#

thats nice to hear - whats kinda funny though:
i always tell people that legion - sl has so many good stuff that it doesnt even need innovation for good class design
and now it seems like they just bring all "good" traits conduits lego and shit from these expansion and call it a day
which is pretty cool

bleak sky
gloomy knoll
#

what

bleak sky
gloomy knoll
#

whoever says you don't need good class / spec design

#

at any point

#

for anything

#

is just dumb

#

lol

#

that's literally the main point of the game

hollow river
#

sin tier for many became clunky especially with mfd CT on ST

gloomy knoll
#

class / spec design > content design > other shit

toxic locust
#

honestly why i didn't really enjoy the start of legion

#

until legendaries and artifact weapons got goin

gloomy knoll
#

once they did

#

zooweemama

#

funnest shit ever

fast nacelle
#

did i miss spell smth
df looks like it just sums up all "good" traits n stuff from the past expansions

toxic locust
#

yea

gloomy knoll
#

yea so that = good class design

fast nacelle
#

so you dont need to create new stuff

harsh anchor
#

The faster my bleeds tick, the bigger of an erection I get

toxic locust
#

it's pretty much "borrowed power best of" with a bit of old stuff thrown in

fast nacelle
#

yeah which is fine for me

#

bc often you got the "good power" from legion.. combined with a good azerite trait and stuff

toxic locust
#

rogues get a nice mix of both class identity and spec identity

fast nacelle
#

however im wondering how they wanna go from there in further expansions

#

also who thought tiny toxic blade is a good last tier talent

#

did anyone in existence of wow build this lego

gloomy knoll
#

every1 in this channel whining about ttb

toxic locust
#

you know the tree's good when that's the biggest issue

gloomy knoll
#

like you don't got the greatest iteration of this spec ever seen

fast nacelle
#

oh i wont complain..

gloomy knoll
#

it needs to be absolutely 100% perfect or no deal

lmaoooo

no relapses

gloomy knoll
#

oh i'm not playing df

#

regardless of how amazing sin looks

#

i got irl shit to fix/work on before wows even an option

fast nacelle
#

bro you can fix your rl after df copium

gloomy knoll
#

no thanks

toxic locust
#

i'm fully expecting 11.0 to add some fucked up new shit that completely breaks sin

#

and then 10.0 will be people's nostalgia xpac for sin

gloomy knoll
#

besides last patch is usually the funnest anyways

toxic locust
#

when the spec was literally perfect

gloomy knoll
#

tho it wasn't for this xpac

fast nacelle
#

wow would be the best game in the world if you only play last 6 months of an expansion

@balmy condor Hi; were there anything mentioned about how Lethal Dose would be toned down? Limiting to interact with certain bleeds and lethal poisons only would be a way. Also if excluded it would free us from picking CT for ST as well. At the moment we have 5 bleeds in the tree with CT.

#

I know Dev wants majorty of talents to work with eachother but

#

still it goes up to 16% ?

#

Tho Deathmark is 2 min cd, so without CT it would be 3 bleeds

balmy condor
#

Tentative Interactions with 10.0 Talents:
Shadow Dance:

  • Works with all "in stealth" talents (including improve garrote/master assassin)
  • Does NOT work with "after stealth" mechanics such as subterfuge

Lethal Dose:

  • Works with all effects including Doomblade/SBS/Kingsbane

Deathmark:

  • Fully replaces Vendetta, Vendetta does not exist
  • "Duplicates" Adds another instance of each garrote/rupture/lethal, meaning the target will have 2 garrotes for example
  • Dots are duplicated on press, as well as any reapplied. Unsure about how overhangs and snapshotting works with this.
  • Cold blood should apply to both instances, as do things like improved garrotes

Carnage:

  • Applies buffed bleeds (improved stealth garrotes, cold blood, etc)

Other random mentioned things:

  • Cold Blood should work with bleeds
  • Tea could be buffed with an additional effect
  • Tiny Toxic Blade is staying
  • Envenom Buffing effect is not out of the question

I want to extend a thanks from the entire community to the developer for being so open to feedback and taking time out of his day to speak about the trees. Also this is all still pre-alpha/early alpha, everything here can change, these are simply thoughts and ideas getting mentioned.

balmy condor

#

Hell yea. I can’t wait to apply buffed garrotes and ruptures in 3 different ways in big pulls with stealth vanish and shadow dance 🙂

fathom swift
balmy condor
#

both

fathom swift
#

👍

storm onyx
blazing totem
#

to be honest I never really cared about Kingsbane, looking forward to Shrouded and possibly SBS

dire schooner
#

Snapshotting bleeds with death mark?

balmy condor
dire schooner
#

Ooooh. I look forward to finding that out

hollow river
hollow river
balmy condor
#

no like unironically, envenom and poison bang

hollow river
#

yeah i know

#

so we might actually have slight funnel

#

but it's looking like we will have good aoe for sure 🙂

hollow river
#

i am one with the hopium atm

balmy condor
#

also CT still happens

hollow river
#

yeah

#

i wonder if zoldycks would be better on the aoe side of the tree

#

or a middle node you can get from either side

oak sky
#

i think middle node you can get from either side is kinda the move

#

feels like we should have it in aoe and have it in st or as an option in st

hollow river
#

yeah

oak sky
#

tbh im picturing that on an add heavy fight with an execute requirement

hollow river
#

doomblade and sepsis being on the aoe side of the tree is a bit eh

balmy condor
#

yeh realz said he like zold being the execute with blindside

#

on that side

#

and I'm like aight

#

I guess

hollow river
#

hmm

oak sky
#

not an awful idea

#

i just feel like we should always have access to it for aoe

balmy condor
#

he sees zold as an execute tool, not an aoe tool

#

and I think he's kinda right honestly

oak sky
#

guess so

balmy condor
#

I don't think zold is actually that great for aoe

#

but instead we just have never had anything good

#

so zold is what we're left with

oak sky
#

it does naturally scale for aoe

balmy condor
oak sky
#

since all our aoe is bleed and poisons

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

also a good point

#

we'll see how strong it really is

oak sky
#

smaller % of damage as fok mut and envenom means closer to the actual 30%

hollow river
#

atm i don't think we can get Carnage and Zold at once

oak sky
#

we can

#

think its just bad

hollow river
#

yeah

#

can't get qatar or flying blades then maybe you get zold?

balmy condor
#

I'm ready for sims

oak sky
#

bro im

#

so excited

#

🙂

#

lmk if i can help you out in any way

#

doing some light sim work sounds fun

hollow river
#

nvm you'd just leave off katar

oak sky
#

not like apl or anything

#

but you know

#

if you need anything

balmy condor
#

yuh

#

I'll let you know

oak sky
#

awesome

#

always happy to do anything to make the spec sick

hollow river
#

so hidden blades is actually just dead

#

yay

oak sky
#

yeah

#

@hollow river just a quick mockup

#

damn man im really gonna miss iron wiree

hollow river
#

leave off katar though

#

we'll need the node where stealth poisons is atm

oak sky
#

ye

#

im sure a few things can change

hollow river
#

katar/flying daggers will actually be a good choice, dungeon dependent

strange python
#

I cant wait to see how blizz fucks it all up

oak sky
#

yeah you can drop flying sometimes for sure

hollow river
#

actually you just take katar>flying daggers always right now

#

read the tooltips a bit more closely lol

#

but for big target counts could grab flying maybe

hollow river
oak sky
#

nah flying like

#

if its like a full cleave dungeon

#

and you pull 3 mobs and shit

#

you would just drop it i think

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

I wonder if carnage would be a drop in that case as well

oak sky
#

kinda doubt but maybe

#

if sbs comes back

#

you could go that

#

you never drop ct

#

yeah so

#

i would definitely like to either see the left fully committed to execute style shit

#

or some cleave spread around

#

cleave is cool

hollow river
#

My biggest hope is that we can get better at target swapping

oak sky
#

eh

#

dot classes are naturally worse at that

hollow river
#

Like in raid with adds like on Sausage

oak sky
#

thats mostly the tier set talking tho

hollow river
#

Yeah but with like Cold Blood/Exsang

#

Could be some decent swap damage there

oak sky
#

or just burst then generally speaking

hollow river
#

Kinda, but without committing your full 2 min unless you actually need to

oak sky
#

kingsbane sepsis build

hollow river
#

Like pantheon adds, you could send 2min on big ones like that if you had to still, as it is now

oak sky
hollow river
#

Our swap damage is fine when we have enough time to get everything rolling on the target

oak sky
#

as it should be

hollow river
#

But adds that have to die within a few second of spawning we are trash at

oak sky
#

thats called not having burst and being a dot spec

true pelican
#

isn't that the point of a dot spec?

#

if you want target swap you can play sub or outlaw

oak sky
#

covering every single weakness of the spec would be a design flaw

hollow river
#

A lot of raid leaders don’t seem to care

hollow river
oak sky
#

the only fight where that wouldve giga mattered without this tier set is rygelon

hollow river
#

Ye

#

I mean technically sausage too

#

But yea

oak sky
#

nah

#

sausage you can get full dots rolling

#

it has enough hp for that

hollow river
#

Rygelon just aids as there’s 6 adds coming in sets so you’re screwed there as assa no matter what kek

oak sky
#

which is fine

hollow river
#

We were aiming to kill them before they ever spawned a single set of puddles

oak sky
#

well

#

with mfd it was usually like a 4-5 global commitment

#

not too bad if you ask me

hollow river
#

Yeah just wasn’t enough damage when it came down to it, for my experience at least

oak sky
#

i mean

#

yeah

hollow river
#

Played sub and topped dam on most of the adds instead. Assa didn’t really do a third of the damage to em

#

But yeah

oak sky
#

its not like youre gonna get full value out of your dots if something needs to die fast

hollow river
#

What I’m bringing up is kinda arbitrary

#

Just sucks for the one tricks the most

oak sky
#

strength of an actual class with strong dots is doing damage outside cds

#

there do have to be some tradeoffs

#

keep in mind that other classes are doing 0 to the boss while they hit the add

#

and in the right case we gain funnel from adds that die slower

I have Unity on bracers now but I finally got a 278 helm from vault just now. Would it be worth to change unity to shoulders (where I have 259 right now) pure statwise? I couldn't find if you can do that comparison on raidbots or not.

balmy condor
#

you can use that to compare legendary set ups

#

hit the green button

and you can see it adds unity

To be fair. If you don't follow the dev updates and don't randomly click new things in the UI to see what they do it is rather easy to miss.

#

I missed any update that mentioned it but I have a bad habit of pressings buttons and going "Ooooo what does this do?"

craggy nimbus
#

Thanks for taking pity on me but no need^^

balmy condor
#

Nah but for real end of expansion simming is always a mess

balmy condor

Best tip I have is literally to just sim more

Why did they have to nerf ticking sack. I'm stuck using a 262 flayedwing and its an almost 200 dps downgrade to get a 278 sack pepehands

#

Out of interest Whispyr. What would you change about Exsang so you didn't feel like exsanguinating yourself each time someone mentions it?

balmy condor
#

no haste snapshot

#

that's it

#

that's all I care about

meager granite
#

Random question. Did realz shared gis thoughts about the fact that the shadow dance tree is so strong currently that Any spec wants it (it also has cheat death in it...) making the rogue tree quite similar for all spec?

craggy nimbus
#

Meh, my new combo of items is just a 126 dps increase

meager granite
craggy nimbus
#

But that ilvl increase is nice I guess :>

Which doesnt align with our cd

Since the LAUNCH of SL I have been running countless Mists for the int/haste trinket on my holy paladin, haven't seen it drop once. Then I randomly do a 15 on my resto druid and I get it, first time. Then I get a 278 in the vault the same week and another the next week aswell - all on my druid and not my paladin. Still no trinket on her yet :>

# craggy oak why do you dislike haste snapshot?

Because it’s an unintuitive mechanic for players and leads to a number of curious interactions like with flag right now where you want to vendetta slightly into it, creating a very rigid sequence of actions you need to take to fully play around the snapshot

#

It’s just not feasible for a player to look at exsanguinate and play around it without the help of an external source

timid cloud
#

That’s also why Exsang is buns.

#

We ain’t never touching NYA haste again, so fuck that talent, let it stay dead.

balmy condor
#

And on top of that, you might be like “well the snapshot stuff is clearly explained in guides etc, I don’t have a problem with it”

#

But the fact that you’re in this channel talking already puts you at like the top 2% of the community

timid cloud
balmy condor
#

There is a VAST ocean of players who either lurk in here and do nothing, or aren’t even in here

#

Majority of the community doesn’t do higher than a +5

#

So do you expect those guys to understand haste snapshots?

timid cloud
#

Weekly no leavers don’t be a dick learning group 5’s

balmy condor
#

With 0 in game explanation

timid cloud
#

Talents chats have Whispyr hitting diffy.

spice spire

The low no leavers are wholesome tho

timid cloud
#

Leveling my new Warrior through M+, I’ve seen some shit the past few days….

craggy oak
# balmy condor So do you expect those guys to understand haste snapshots?

but, having a mechanic, such as a snapshot, as unintuitive as it is. do you think that is inherently a bad thing? giving you the ability to showcase your skill, maybe if it was explained better in the game you would see less of a problem with it? personally i do like mechanics that you can leverage such as snapshot, if you play them correctly.

timid cloud
#

Yes.

craggy oak
#

but in regards to sin, i have only played it since 8.3, so i have only played, snapshot bleeds, and boring vanish envenom builds, so i don't have any other playstyles to compare to.

timid cloud
#

Because it is hella extra & not needed.

craggy oak
#

and out of the two, snapshot is the more engaging, imo.

timid cloud
#

Haste Snapping? What’s next? Want the hit caps back? The expertise? It’s just outdated ish.

meager granite
slow needle
#

It would kinda have to though. If Blizz fully embraced snapshotting again (which I don't think is unreasonable considering if they're okay to fully embrace it with rogue then they would with others) then how do they tune bosses? Do they tune them to be a challenge for those who don't ever snapshot correctly because they don't know what it is, for the group of players that do it perfectly, or somewhere in between?

#

Any but the first one suddenly increases the difficulty of content for players who don't understand.

#

Even if its just for rogues, having large gaps between the top performers and the bottom performers makes it difficult to balance the class in a way that feels fair.

#

There is something satisfying about lining everything up perfectly to execute a really big cd window. I think there are better ways of doing it than unexplained (in game at least) mechanics like snapshotting.

balmy condor
#

^

meager granite
#

Whispyr would a change to exsang to something like not affecting bleeds duration but doubling the tick rate would be something more appealing to you ? With no haste snappshotting.

The spell would then have the effet of a small damage window with bleed damage and energy regen.
Cooldown could be changed for balancing

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

That would be more appealing to me

meager granite
#

That sounds like deathmark with extra steps...

#

Thinking more about it

balmy condor
#

I love Deathmark

meager granite
#

Yeah me too

#

Is your exsang issue also about the fact that duration of bleeds are cut in half ?

balmy condor
#

I personally don’t even mind playing it all that much

#

I just have a deep seated hatred for mechanics that the game does not explain and requires people to go looking for externally

#

I think that’s a just a failure in game design to have something like that

cursive summit
#

I think changing how Exsang works to doubling tick rate and leaving the duration unchanged would make it super good

craggy oak
#

I can see the dislike from that perspective

#

in terms of play, i think it's great, again not played a bleed-focused build that has not been centered around snapshotting

cursive summit
#

I'm looking forward to trying out a SD, stealth poison, DTB build

balmy condor
#

In my opinion, it’s fine to go looking for a guide on how to play optimally right, like if you understand the class but you’re like “oh exsang is 45 second and Deathmark is 2 minutes, should I hold for 2:15 then or do I hold exsang to a minute” or “when is it okay to hold shiv”

#

That sort of stuff

#

I’m perfectly fine with

copper hazel
balmy condor
#

But when you have like “I have no fucking clue how this ability works”

#

That’s an issue

cursive summit
#

Games really should be explaining mechanics better in the game

balmy condor
# copper hazel poe would like to have a word with you there

I actually think poe explains it’s mechanics fairly well. Each weird thing like “fortify” has a small explanation in related tooltips, and there generally isn’t really anything that is an exception to a rule. If you’re self-poisoning, you can easily follow the logic of “my hits poison -> poisons you inflict are reflected back to you -> while you are poisoned, X”

#

There’s a difference between “I don’t know what this does” and “this is really confusing”

copper hazel
#

yeh true, when you break it down it does make more sense

balmy condor
#

Confusing implies a lack of mastery, but the knowledge is available

#

Not knowing is simply the lack of knowledge

dark garnet
#

Ok guys, new ttb:
Shiv applies a poison dealing Nature damage over 10 sec. Each time your lethal poisons apply to the target the damage is increased by 15%

cursive summit
#

thats basically kingsbane

balmy condor
#

No I’m pretty sure that is actually just kingsbane

#

Near verbatim

#

It’s word for word

dark garnet
#

Thats the joke

oak sky
#

the ttb we wanted

balmy condor
#

We have ttb at home agreon

balmy condor
blazing totem
#

ok that’s the best case scenario, linking it to shiv

#

that is pog

cursive summit
#

can we stop putting so much power into shiv

meager granite
#

Kingsbane with double lethal seems like meme potential

blazing totem
#

although part of me wishes it was still a utility spell

cursive summit
#

it is very meme potential

dark garnet
#

Ppl were so hype about kingsbane and hate ttb

meager granite
#

TTB is not fun at all and would change 0 thing in the gameplay

balmy condor
meager granite
#

Ofc we dont like it

cursive summit
#

Is it?

balmy condor
#

According to blizzard apparently

dark garnet
#

Just make double lethal + kings impossible

cursive summit
#

Didn't they remove the healing from Feral Spirits because they didn't like it as an offensive AND defensive CD?

meager granite
balmy condor
#

That was the conversation yeah

balmy condor
cursive summit
#

????????????????????????????

dark garnet
#

From what realz said i understood it as too many buttons being seperate

balmy condor
#

Between the eyes on outlaw was also kidney shot

meager granite
#

More button is not an issue especially for something that you would not press that often

balmy condor
cursive summit
#

Its so weird that they changed those abilities because of the exact reason that Shiv gets hate and think that Shiv is a success

balmy condor
#

But another part of me says “okay but we just lost some buttons”

dark garnet
#

And with df you get dance mfd and cb

#

And more possibly

#

Like aoe garrote rupture

#

Tea kek

#

Or, could make the double poison talent combine two poisons, creating a single super poison

#

So you proc as if there was only one, but get both effects

cursive summit
#

Whispyr suggested putting Kingsbane where ttb is and then making it so you couldn't reach both Kingsbane and dragon tempered

#

Which is a good idea

#

cuz Kingsbane + dtb would be insane

dark garnet
#

Ye i like that as well

#

And having two capstones need eachother is bad imo

#

Ofc its cool with synergy, but gotta be a choice of what combo you go with, not just a single busted one

#

But would combining shiv and kingsbane be a good idea? Would have to be weaker cause of shorter cd, but saves a button

cursive summit
#

replacing shiv entirely with kingsbane is probably fine

#

Adrenaline Rush gives +60% energy regen (so +6 energy/s) for 20 seconds (for a total of 120 energy per button) and is on a 3min cooldown. Thistle tea gives you 300 energy over the course of those 3 minutes and you choose when you get the energy (so no fear of wasting it due to overcapping) and you get it in chunks you can use at once (instead of just "waiting faster")

Thistle tea > Adrenaline
