Or do lots of damage and be nearly unkillable and have required raid utility like Warlocks? 😄

whole mason
#

wonderful, but I dont want to see a patch stating rogue is removed...

sharp falcon
#

Rogue DPS bar 2x next highest: "That's just their raid identity in DoT comps, ok"

gloomy knoll
#

I’m ok with that but just st Dps

#

My class identity is stabbing the boss

No one knows that you're doing 3x damage if you have no dps meters

gloomy knoll
#

Trueeee

faint harness
#

wait until they lose seed and soulshape

fleet anchor
#

More seriously, not really against "tradeoffs" but they get into somewhat dangerous territory in a raid environment because it assumes that all the classes/specs are balanced around the same concepts. Which they often aren't just as a matter of complexity.

oak sky
gloomy knoll
#

They are literally always good and I have data to back that up

faint harness
#

i dont get why there are so many complaints about warlock either, not like they steal slots from us

fleet anchor
#

The same issue has always come up with "niche" specs like in the past "ST niche" for Feral where realistically they never had enough of an advantage vs. other specs that had tons of AoE to actually make any sense.

whole mason
#

and gates.

fleet anchor
#

One designer may have an idea for some interesting trade-off idea

gloomy knoll
#

Fun fact rogue is also like top 4 classes to be above average a majority of the time

fleet anchor
#

And another designer will just make a well-rounded spec

gloomy knoll
#

Pure Dps class go brrr

fleet anchor
#

And that just ends up with the trade-offs being flat downsides

bleak sky
gloomy knoll
#

It mostly is lol

#

It’s like locks mages rogues and some1 else

sharp falcon
#

hunter

bleak sky
#

If you can only bring damage and you're not top/near the top, why even live

gloomy knoll
#

Sounds right

velvet ridge
#

the only classes with 3 dps specs.....

#

1 of the spec HAS to be good

bleak sky
#

Ya

faint harness
#

poor hunters man

#

no raid utility and just constantly on the floor

bleak sky
sharp falcon
#

they had a pretty good expansion, idk

gloomy knoll
#

That’s what they get for mobility

fleet anchor
# sharp falcon this is one of the most grass-is-greener things I've read in a while

I mean, I don't really care since as Push mentioned they don't directly compete with Rogues for spots but it's not really that grass-is-greener. Warlocks have had the highest average raid performance of any class for like the last 5 xpacs, are super tanky, and have gate which is designed around. They have very few obvious weaknesses. It's a well-designed class, nothing wrong with that. But they easily outpace more one-dimensional classes regularly.

gloomy knoll
#

Yea they did dead

oak sky
#

bro hunters went mm mm sv

faint harness
#

i mean we still had to bench hunters simply because they couldnt live certain encounters and you have demo locks that just do more dmg and cant die

oak sky
#

crazy

bleak sky
#

Real good

cinder scaffold
# sharp falcon hunter

Can you sort out the guy who made the SV tree please. Tell him to spec into it and try play it before making the tree 😜

Lmaooo

#

The next highest class is 70%

velvet ridge
#

when was it not

gloomy knoll
#

Yea they were taunting people in my guild with that data a few days ago

faint harness
#

EN

fleet anchor
#

Briefly last tier

gloomy knoll
#

Everyone picks on the locks lol

fleet anchor
#

lol

faint harness
#

and they still complain about EN

#

remember that one time 5 years ago when we werent instantly brought to a raid taht was cleared in 16 hours by ruskis

sharp falcon
#

Answer: Buff all specs to have representation equal to historic Warlock

faint harness
#

give rogue gateway through grappling hooks

gloomy knoll
#

Give them the sub rogue treatment

velvet ridge
#

Ziplines

faint harness
#

zipline gameplay

sharp falcon
#

Outlaw Rogue can summon a boat, ppl ride the boat to where they need to go

whole mason
#

grappling hooks one group of players!

gloomy knoll
#

Orbital nuke them for an entire xpac to teach humility and the fear of god

sharp falcon
#

by 'boat' i mean 'pirate ship'

faint harness
#

oofc

#

cannonball barrage

#

can be used by members in the boat

gloomy knoll
#

I loved that ability in legion

#

It was so bad but it looked so cool lol

velvet ridge
#

sub rogue makes a shadow gate where they were when the shadow step, members can go through the shadow gate with them

faint harness
#

broken

gloomy knoll
#

So like the portal game

#

That’d be funny

velvet ridge
#

maybe we can hand out some crimson vials that restore hp to members

bleak sky
#

But back to reality: prayge rogue good

faint harness
#

imagine if rogue had these like power up potions

#

that we could hand out

gloomy knoll
#

Oh shit yea

#

Dps pots

faint harness
gloomy knoll
#

But like not on the Cd with regular ones

fleet anchor
faint harness
#

ye

bleak sky
#

Handing out spiked drinks with a random effect

faint harness
#

just extra pots

faint harness
fleet anchor
#

That's the real Smoke Bomb. Just move a group of people across somewhere. Neat.

velvet ridge
#

assassination has a vial/apothecary spec line in there tree, our vials debuff targets physical and magical resistance

gloomy knoll
#

Extra pot that your rogue makes from poison and shot he found in the sewer

bleak sky
faint harness
fleet anchor
#

lol

gloomy knoll
#

Also it’s completely fucking rng

#

And the pot has a 1% chance of no Dps and just making your character smell bad

velvet ridge
#

smoke bomb works like darkness in pve

faint harness
#

i think the idea of a shroud "roar" is quite cool

#

actually

bleak sky
#

It sounds great in m+

velvet ridge
#

everyone stealths, boss resets

bleak sky
#

Makeshift wo drifter

vestal wren
steel ridge
#

like a wormhole after stepping?

vestal wren
#

we can make mass teleport for sub only

#

so we have 3 specs with unique raid benefits

oak sky
#

bruh i would rather have mass step than raid DR

steel ridge
#

that would be crazy

#

not a big fan of the shroud movespeed thingy... theres already enough group speed ups

copper hazel
#

the smoke bomb party teleport is cool idea. Throw first smoke bomb at location you want everyone to go to, stack the 5 man group on the rogue, rogue throws down second smoke bomb at the parties feet and BAM all teleported to first smoke bomb location

vestal wren
#

a aoe teleport instead of shrould would also open up unique gameplay for keys

limber lion
#

I can already see it; you mass-step and the tank with Neural Silencer on just gets left behind and dies

copper hazel
#

loooool

vestal wren
#

well

copper hazel
#

his loss kekdog

marble hemlock
#

Mass step everybody to their death at .3% boss HP

vestal wren
#

^ the one who didn't get in

marble hemlock
#

"Woops miss click"

limber lion
#

Then you tell everyone to take Neural Silencers off, then you have people trolling people with swapblasters

copper hazel
#

the trolling of my guild melee i would do with that, holy shit

vestal wren
#

neural silencer already can be painful with tott

copper hazel
#

pugs with it, so annoying

I did a Streets last week where the tank was still mounted when the run started and the first trio activated, and I hit my Tricks and opened on all three, just to get punched into the ground because I was too busy getting ready to open

strange python
#

oh god yes i hate when tanks literally stay mounted forever

#

I just quit trying eventually

So have it up for replay asap

balmy condor
#

That’s entirely up to how much twitch wants to suck ass and how quickly @stuck knoll and @gusty mirage can have it up in places

subtle tundra
#

Sucks to suck tennocon will be going on

balmy condor
#

Last podcast the twitch thing was a disaster

#

And wouldn’t let me download vods

#

So I had to wait for it to clear

#

And then manually splice sections together

#

Was awful

whole mason
balmy condor
#

He’s re-streaming it to the Chinese community

whole mason
#

Yes. I know that.

balmy condor
#

Ah I see

#

I’m not familiar with who knows who

#

Sorry

whole mason
#

Or maybe we do record and translate the video. 1am not really a good time for east time zone.

whole mason
#

all good.

balmy condor
#

The vod will be up, should be able to download it

#

I’ll get a link for you guys

whole mason
#

Great

How do I see the past podcasts

Because I'm going away for a week next Thursday

strange python
#

If we play venthyr and MfD - we just hold MfD for the next flag, or we send it?

spice spire
#

MFD on opener > in between > MFD with flag > in between > rinse and repeat

strange python
#

ok got it - i'm gonna read the guide that whispyr wrote a little better too

spice spire
strange python
#

Alright...I guess I'll try venthyr tonight on Sausage...hope i dont regret trying it.

#

I just look over the logs and the differences are astonishingly high for people that play venthyr.

#

I can be in top 5 dps in the raid as necro (which is arguably easier)...so i'd hate to go in as venthyr and just suck or keep messing it up.

#

See...but this is where i get messed up...

#

If Dreamweaver is only like 400 dps less than a perfectly played nadjia - and it's also easier...why not just play dreamweaver.

spice spire
#

Dreamweaver assumes 100% field uptime

strange python
#

Or heck niya if you're worried about standing in the circle

#

yeah what about niya - maybe that's just super easy

spice spire
#

Which isn’t always possible

#

How much of a loss do you take with niya though?

strange python
#

that's just from whispyr's guide so

#

not my wim

#

*sim

#

It stands to reason playing Niya is like super easy compared to all the snapshotting and stuff from venthyr.

bleak sky
#

can you link your sim?

strange python
#

oh yeah lemme go find one i did this morning

#

i think i have one with venthyr and nf

bleak sky
strange python
#

14,930 as venth - and then dreamweaver is 14,745 (assuming niya is just a bit lower than dreamweaver)

spice spire
#

Talents off

strange python
#

MfD was 18 dps higher btw than DS

#

See, that's the other part of the equation - i'm not sure comfortable with DS and using CT either lol...that's half the reason I'm thinking of just going Niya

royal lantern
spice spire
#

You’re also missing CT yeah

#

If you’re worried about it, my honest advice is to dummy practice for a bit

#

To get comfortable with the keybinds

strange python
#

yeah i'd have to move my warlock portal thing to get mfd back on my bars

bleak sky
#

sim running might take a while

strange python
#

oh wow yeah 15,161 hrmm

spice spire
#

I just did a quick couple of changes

bleak sky
#

makeitquake fastest simmer on NA

strange python
#

lol

bleak sky
#

mf got that mimiron raidbots

#

red = fast

spice spire
#

I’m sure minalba has a lot more in his yejoice

spice spire
#

(I don’t even have swiftsim)

strange python
#

I probably have a 272 IQD

bleak sky
#

so goes even higher

strange python
#

didn't realize it was that good

bleak sky
#

iqd strong

strange python
#

wow

spice spire
#

IQD is juiced

royal lantern
spice spire
#

Wait that’s cursed

royal lantern
#

not like as if you use warlock gates 20000x druing a fight

spice spire
#

IQD + SGT 💀

strange python
#

I rarely use the lock gate thing anyway haha

#

only really loved it on m pain

bleak sky
#

iqd stronk

spice spire
#

Yeah IQD + phial is a 14 loss

strange python
#

worth it to me to not have to have two on use

spice spire
#

Just SGT > phial seems cursed

bleak sky
#

but yeah 272 IQD kinda nice if you can upgrade it

#

and you can keep phial

#

because they're about the same damage

strange python
#

yeah i probably have it at 272 already - and i think i have like 9k valor anyway

#

well thanks guys

#

i'm gonna try this out a bit today before raid

spice spire
#

No problem papi yejoice

bleak sky
#

so while nf isn't downright trolling, it's a good ~750 dps behind venth theo

#

I just realized I didn't sim nadja with dauntless duelist

#

💀

#

I forgor

spice spire
#

💀

bleak sky
#

ran another, ~700 dps from nadja

spice spire
#

I was like “damn theo is really ahead wtf”

strange python
#

thanks

#

So if issue with kingsbane is dtb being too strong with it, why not make those 2 a choice? Would also make sense being in the poison path

royal lantern
#

why would kingsbane be to strong?

#

it doesnt even exsist

dark garnet
#

Been a lot of discussion here with the dev about adding it, but this issue is one of the biggest reasons not to

royal lantern
#

i mean, its wow

dark garnet
#

Since you would always pick them together

royal lantern
#

its all just a question of "how will you adjust the numbers"

#

if you make the numbers that its more or less supposed to be played togheter, why would it be to strong

subtle tundra
#

my opinion that there are too many buttons already still stands

dark garnet
#

You would end up either picking both or none of them, which isnt what talent trees are for

subtle tundra
#

(on the df tree)

bleak sky
subtle tundra
#

not when you add 5 more

#

like 2 is fine

bleak sky
#

+5 = we are current outlaw

royal lantern
#

dude, assassination is not big on buttons

bleak sky
#

but you're really just adding exsang/carnage/dance/MAYBE kingsbane, MAYBE gouge (?)

royal lantern
#

mut, both bleeds, envenom, FoK, did i miss something in the assassiantion only kit there?

dark garnet
#

Its about builds being close enough where different damage profiles or preferences can be expressed

royal lantern
#

everything else tends to either be talents, or general rogue stuff

#

im sorry man, but there is close to 0 chance that this will actually be the reality of how it will end up

#

the reality will be that we have 1 general playstyle that is just better then everything else, and you can swap 2-3 things max

subtle tundra
#

i believe in a world where i can play my no seal fate + er build

hollow river
#

The thing is most of the extra abilities have a decently long CD @subtle tundra

royal lantern
#

^

hollow river
#

Dance and Cold Blood are like 1 min ya?

royal lantern
#

and assa is low on rotiational stuff

#

OUTLAW suffers from getting to much new stuff cus its allready playing piano sometimes

hollow river
#

Mfd is 30sec which is a little meh, I agree

bleak sky
royal lantern
#

but assa? eh, you can just do a shift modifer on your normal abilitys and its done

hollow river
#

Shit is bugged af

royal lantern
#

almost like an alpha

hollow river
#

Yeah

royal lantern
hollow river
royal lantern
#

+you also need to remember that there is a high chance for some stuff to just go away

hollow river
#

What else does assa gain?

royal lantern
#

the current tree is the first ALPHA VERSION we have

hollow river
#

Sepsis maybe

royal lantern
#

they can just say "oh, dance for all specs is a mistake(and pls do it cus it is a mistake lol)" and its gone and replaced with something else

subtle tundra
#

nah

#

realz said he likes it

hollow river
#

I really don’t think it’s a mistake tbh

#

I like the idea

subtle tundra
#

and so do i xd

dark garnet
#

Sublaw looks really interesting

royal lantern
#

do you like the idea or do you like that it is broken af right now?

#

honest question

hollow river
#

More stealth ability time is good for all specs

subtle tundra
hollow river
#

I simply like it thematically

royal lantern
#

everytime somone says sublaw, a puppy AND a kitten dies

#

horrible

dark garnet
#

Well ambush build

subtle tundra
#

i dont think its gonna work out with outlaw since they dont have burst to fit in 9 seconds every 1 min

hollow river
#

I like the idea of a 1 minute bit of burst outside of our regular 2 minute burst

subtle tundra
#

assa maybe will

dark garnet
#

Building cto in dance and then pop keep it rolling

hollow river
#

Would be stronk

royal lantern
#

wich is weird af

#

like, dance and the burst it gives is supposed to be the sub thing

subtle tundra
#

shadow dance is 1 min cd with no cd reduction

hollow river
#

Imo sub should play with 60-80% Dance time

royal lantern
#

fuck no

hollow river
#

Lol

bleak sky
#

that's a lot of dance

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

Sub r purple boys

royal lantern
#

make sub a BURST spec again

#

go away with that shity 1-1-2 spam

#

much gameplay

#

strike strike evis

hollow river
#

Sure but do it by giving it better CDs other than dance

#

Backstab is lame af

royal lantern
#

meaningfull dances should be the goal, not the current dance spam

#

like WoD sub had

subtle tundra
brave gyro
#

depending on tuning it could already be different (gloom build with a lot of modifiers for juicy dmg in-between dances

hollow river
#

I do agree with you, but I don’t think Dance should be that burst

brave gyro
#

there is also the vanish cdr potential build with rotten that gives you extremely high uptime on SoD

royal lantern
subtle tundra
#

no, fuck sub

royal lantern
#

yes, you fuck subs

#

thats the thing

subtle tundra
#

i only care for assa 😏

#

i only care for ass 🥺

brave gyro
#

idk, i like my class as a whole, if i can play all 3 specs, noice

royal lantern
#

spec 1tricks are icky

#

true chads play all specs and prefer 1

subtle tundra
#

NO. FUCK OUTLAW. FUCK SUB.

#

😠

brave gyro
royal lantern
#

aka: be like me and only play assa 80%of the time anyway kekdog

deep dagger
#

Holy shit, the new DF talents might actually make me go Rogue in DF

limber lion
subtle tundra
#

i honestly just hate rogue players/outlaw 1 tricks cause most of them played it in bfa and only played outlaw and are just obsessed with outlaw. if outlaw isnt meta its the end of the world for them

royal lantern
subtle tundra
#

and those being the high m+ rogue players

deep dagger
#

For insane AoE capabilities, while still having Death Mark + Exsanguiate for Single-target funneling

#

Thoughts?

royal lantern
#

exsang is a meme

#

forget that ability pls

subtle tundra
bleak sky
deep dagger
#

For single-target funnel in m+ though?

brave gyro
royal lantern
#

and hope blizzard forgets it aswell

bleak sky
deep dagger
#

Where else would I put the point tho

limber lion
#

Outlaw SLG, Assa Sire, rest Subberino

subtle tundra
#

and not caring

bleak sky
#

Highly doubt we ever play ER; you likely want dragon-tempered blades; you want seal of fate for m+; you want alacrity

bleak sky
#

varas no trolling

subtle tundra
#
  • 2 gdkp no more loot for you
#

idk what gdkp is

bleak sky
#

good boi points for showing up to the raid and not fucking up

#

so you get to use your good boi points to "buy" items from the raid loot / go up in the prio list (back when master loot was a thing)

limber lion
deep dagger
bleak sky
#

too good not to pick right now

brave gyro
deep dagger
#

So no Reprimand?

limber lion
#

You don't go middle tree on Assa

bleak sky
#

no reprimand

#

reprimand bad

limber lion
#

Left and right trees

subtle tundra
#

:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

#

this is catastrophic

limber lion
#

What Punz linked is pretty solid

bleak sky
#

ya

deep dagger
#

How come Twist the Knife, rather than Amplifying Poison?

brave gyro
#

and if u want u can sbterfuge and drop the crit

limber lion
#

Some things would be different in an ideal build, but it's decent

#

Like we wouldn't take 3 points in Alacrity f.ex

limber lion
#

Amp is likely much better in ST

deep dagger
#

Isn't it just 1 Garrote opener, due to Indiscriminate Carnage?

#

Garrotes everything + silences everything for 3 seconds

limber lion
#

Yoy use IC to spread Ruptures

subtle tundra
#

doesnt empowered garrote allow for 3x garrote?

limber lion
#

For SoB

deep dagger
#

But it spreads both

subtle tundra
#

so you dont need subterfuge

limber lion
#

Read again

deep dagger
#

Next Garrote and Rupture

bleak sky
#

I think this is what I'd run for now in the very alpha stage

#

but yknow

#

alpha

#

very volatile

#

subject to change

brave gyro
#

so yeah, what i linked originally

limber lion
#

Well it is interesting wording for sure

deep dagger
#

Yeah, IC isn't Garrote or rupture

#

it's bothj

limber lion
#

Who knows how it'll actually work

subtle tundra
#

should be both so i can spam CT afterwards

deep dagger
#

Cause if IC is both, then we'd not want to triple garrote opener

subtle tundra
#

welllllll

dark garnet
#

When ic is up

subtle tundra
#

hmmmmm

deep dagger
#

Click 3 buttons, everything in AoE has garrote + rupture

subtle tundra
#

you dont always have ic, its 1.5min cd

deep dagger
#

Into 1 FoK, into 1 CT

limber lion
#

I'd imagine it's either or, but who knows.

brave gyro
bleak sky
deep dagger
#

But I'm just purely talking a CD-ready M+ opener

brave gyro
#

its probably still worth it, because u get to extend

bleak sky
deep dagger
#

Yeah

#

The wording literally can't be anymore specific

bleak sky
#

tbf tooltips in wow aren't great

deep dagger
#

Fact

subtle tundra
#

omg you arent great

deep dagger
#

Fact

bleak sky
#

also true

bleak sky
#

the real question cev is: will cold blood work with bleeds? PAUSE

limber lion
#

But yeh, we still spread garrets because packs usually live longer than 18s or you don't have IC up

bleak sky
#

realz seems to be undecided yet

subtle tundra
brave gyro
#

he said it'd make sense, but as usual - nothing confirmed and its mostly thinking out loud

bleak sky
#

imagine the repercussions of dance -> cold blood -> carnage -> garrote (?)

subtle tundra
#

45s cd cb + 1 min cd shadow dance + 1.5 min cd ic

limber lion
subtle tundra
#

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

bleak sky
#

would be fun though

deep dagger
#

What about our raid builds though?

bleak sky
#

sepsis costs 2 points

brave gyro
#

but its doomblade, for raids it'd be good probably

bleak sky
#

and gated behind doomblade which I don't really want for m+

subtle tundra
#

i want IC to be 1 min cd

#

i hate 1.5 min

#

its very very cringe to play in m+ with 1.5 min cds

#

😬

bleak sky
#

this would be my take on it, I like the idea of doomblade and maim mangle

deep dagger
#

I thought Exsan was meme?

bleak sky
#

there are some trees flying around in here though, I'm sure you can search in:assassination has:image on discord and things will show up

brave gyro
#

i'd take 2 points in EP over exsang

subtle tundra
#

samesies

#

ep is HUGE

bleak sky
deep dagger
#

What I think will be the play

bleak sky
deep dagger
#

Either this, or 2x Alacrity, 0 Strata, and then have 2 in Seal Fate

main blaze
#

yeah I think you will need the seal fate

bleak sky
#

idk

#

who knows

deep dagger
#

I'd hate raiding without the 8 energy refund when Mutilating from Venom Rush

subtle tundra
#

wat

bleak sky
#

like sure the talent is nice

deep dagger
#

I haven't played rogue for a while, so I'm out of touch currently

bleak sky
#

but we can live without it

brave gyro
#

deeper strat no longer give u extra finisher dmg

#

2 points is plenty to keep stacks up

bleak sky
brave gyro
#

seal fate is useful both in aoe and st

deep dagger
#

By how it's written, I'd expect it to just scale to 6 and 7 points

bleak sky
subtle tundra
deep dagger
brave gyro
subtle tundra
#

no

bleak sky
#

been there day 1

brave gyro
#

i still think it just means 6 p > regular upscaling from 5

main blaze
#

Yeah thats what I take it as

brave gyro
#

rupture is duration, envenom dmg/duration etc

bleak sky
#

idk

#

we don't know

#

can't really know

subtle tundra
#

go on the alpha and test dumbo

bleak sky
strange python
#

Honestly based on realz chat yesterday I think the tree will change enough that talking about specific builds at this point feels pointless

bleak sky
#

yes

brave gyro
#

well we can kinda guess from Outlaw, since they moved the 5% dmg to dispatcher

#

i doubt they'd give free 5% on finisher

bleak sky
#

but it's still something fun to do

#

people are interested, it's good

bleak sky
strange python
#

I agree. Just saying focusing on specific point allocation probably a waste of time, compared to general ideas

bleak sky
#

we can't know

copper hazel
#

it all helps realz make decisions as well though, more points of input on stuff, etc

subtle tundra
#

lets gaslight him

#

nvm

bleak sky
#

bad varas

spice spire
#

All hell gather is rogues are boomers obsessed with kingsbane and dfa tho hmm

a 6cp envenom adds to the duration of rupture/garrote??!?!?

#

😭

#

a man can only dream

copper hazel
#

"your envenom re-tears the rupture and garrote bleeds on a target, extending the duration by 0.5seconds per 6 combo points used"

subtle tundra

it tears my assssssssss

copper hazel

can call it "Tearing Wounds"

have you guys thought about updating the Shadowblades term to something more inclusive

Shadowblades seems oddly specific

what are the recommended legendaries for assa in pvp, seems to be pretty mixed in the pvp ladder

bleak sky
boreal cedar
#

ok mb, thought this was for discussion, ill just google it and use the same wowhead article as they have pinned in PVP

bleak sky
#

it's for discussion yeah but mostly PvE focused

#

but the pvp channel should be good

spice spire
#

Yeah, unfortunately this channel is for PvE andys despairge

bleak sky
#

he could help for sure

boreal cedar
#

nothing so far, just gathering mats for legendaries

#

but i'll continue in the pvp channel, so not to muddy up this one

gusty mirage
#

I’d just craft a haste vers duskwalkers then

#

You can get away with other stuff in 2s esp if you play double dps

#

But dusk was super viable pre tier set and now it’s just too strong with the tier

boreal cedar

alright thank you

All the phials look garbage though

Well ye the phials are flasks

#

There might have been an aoe one thats tood

#

Good

#

But the st one is the stand still one

#

Which is for sure garbage on melee

gusty mirage
#

Any aoe potion they’ve ever tried making ended up sucking

oak sky
#

Yeah idk

#

I just want a boring flask again tbh

#

The rp of putting it on is enough for me

violet jackal
#

Imagine asking melee to not A-D-A-D during their burst window OMEGAKEKW

oak sky
#

Or jump

#

Or a fire mage to not jump

unique kettle
#

do you not use ambush as sin?

bleak sky
#

very rare cases

#

rare = talented into subterfuge

#

and even then it's a very very small optimization to do so

unique kettle
#

can i get a reasoning as to why?

woeful meteor
#

there is a command for it but cant remember which one

#

!ambush

prisma monolithBOT
#

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz
Showcase Video: #assassination message

lucid birch
#

Minalba should try ! test

bleak sky
#

slightly

#

the command you want is !mut @woeful meteor

woeful meteor
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used with non-venthyr builds using subterfuge
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3) and it's interaction with Flagellation.
You also have to consider the additional poison application chances. Ambush is not considerably worse or better in any situation, so you aren't losing out on much if you don't use it.

unique kettle
#

so mutilate crits give 1 extra combo point?

spice spire
#

They give up to two additional combo points

bleak sky
#

mutilate can crit with both weapons so it can roll 1 extra crit yeah

spice spire
#

One for each strike

unique kettle
#

mm ok ty

bleak sky
#

but i'm pretty sure venthyr builds with subterfuge also ambush

#

and the only real use case is m+ single target

#

or cleave

have they said why there isnt any choice nodes in any of the rogue trees compared to something like druid

druid is a mess of a class that's why

Guide to Simming yourself: https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights

For more accurate results you should always sim yourself using Top Gear for gear you already have in your bags
or Droptimizer to see which content drops the biggest upgrade for you. Do not use Stat Weights sims to evaluate gear.

strange python
#

Gotcha

#

Cna you tell me what i'm looking at there?

balmy condor
#

Idk how advanced we need to go

strange python
#

like eli5, what "is that"?

#

PS I appreciate it

balmy condor
#

Yeah that link you sent is the default profile

#

A profile is basically the same as a character

#

This one doesn’t exist irl

strange python
#

ok i got it - this represents a "character" that is a mechagnome, etc

#

I was hoping this was the "APL"

balmy condor
#

But it’s the one that simulationcraft uses for the big chart

balmy condor
strange python
#

ahh ok

balmy condor
#

If you look under the renown

#

It’ll say consumables

#

And under that chunk

#

It’ll start talking about action priority list

strange python
#

ahh yes: # This default action priority list is automatically created based on your character.

balmy condor
#

Yeah

strange python
#

ok cool thanks - the top part was throwing me off i think

balmy condor
#

And everything under that is the APL

strange python
#

gotcha

#

applies to ALL covenants

balmy condor
#

Yes, there’s conditionals for each covnenant and stuff

strange python
#

ok great, thanks man

balmy condor
#

If you do a sim on raidbots, there’s a “full html” button on the right

#

That can also take you to the apl

strange python
#

ahh yes i have clicked that before

balmy condor
#

Because it sends you to the raw simcraft report

strange python
#

perfect, this'll keep me busy for a while

balmy condor
#

Yeah it’s pretty interesting but honestly not that useful

strange python
#

who builds these, you do?

balmy condor
#

Well they were originally built with the first simcraft builds in mop/wod

#

And then just iterated on every time someone found a gain

strange python
#

Now there is an "engine"

#

where food=feast_of_gluttonous_hedonism

balmy condor
#

These days that’s mostly me, but it’s all open source, so people like cev help out

strange python
#

means something - obviously it gives the "actor" the food buff

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

The engine is a spooky place

strange python
#

that's all in here too right

balmy condor
#

I don’t touch that

strange python
#

gotcha - but if i wanted to find all that code, that's all in here?

balmy condor
#

That would be in the GitHub yes

strange python
#

cool

#

thanks man

#

i know you're busy

balmy condor
#

Well

Im just waking up atm
