I think you mention it somewhere that you dont always play with it
Special for 2s if you dont play Night11 is there a world where you can play without shadowdance and kingsbane ?
I try echo reprimand and deeper stratagem with 2x poisen dragon tempered blades and it doesnt felt too bad
Itâs mostly in some 3s match-up that I donât pick it (and one other top Assa never picks it in 3s at all). Basically if the games are going to be a bit dampening itâs better to have (slightly) higher sustained damage and more flexibility regarding CC and Combo Points, so you go for Bone Spike over KB (since you have to play Carnage, Arterial and Demise you cannot get both KB and Bone Spike). For example against DH Ele RDruid you can just oom them with damage, use Dance to peel and reapply Garrote etc etc, no need to try and burst someone down (they are very tanky anyway, plus HoTs, plus Treants). But to be honest playing KB or not playing KB are equally valid ways of playing the game. Itâs just that if you do play KB donât fall into the trap of playing around it too much, holding it to try and oneshot⌠you need to use Dance almost on CD to stun and silence. So, you do this (as opposed to people who sit on it forever until they can try to oneshot, then fail), and you find a way to get a good Shiv KB while youâre at it.
In 2s I would absolutely play it always. Dampening is already high so people struggle to recover from bursty damage. Plus, some specs/comps are so broken in 2s that oftentimes your only win condition is killing them in a handful seconds when they do a mistake, and KB is the only way Assa can burst like that.
You always try to depict Sniper Shot as broken with your all alts and full effort.
Sniper shot is broken, if you take the MM damage profile and numbers into consideration. The only button that can get anywhere close to that damage is Aimed shot within CA threshold, which, if it crits, is still roughly 130k short, and under regular circumstances can take 2.5 seconds to cast. There is zero reason for it to scale with mastery and versa if itâs supposed to be a %-based spell.
With all that said, I do enjoy abusing the hell out of it, because itâs fun. Doesnât change the fact that itâs broken.
You also do manipulation by giving damage numbers of targets that actively have health increasing stuffs like hp trinkets/skills.
I donât.
You are barefaced and your mind is not healthy my friend. I wish you quick recovery.
Thanks :>
On a side note,
Youâre comparing a button that can be used out of stealth under ideal circumstances (a priest thatâs too lazy to mount up and run around the pillar) and outside of that scenario takes 3 seconds to cast, with a button thatâs instant and can be used by the same class that provides setup within the timeframe of said setup. MM canât pet stun and instantly Sniper shot into it.
Anyway. Damage is either too low, or too high, make out of it what you will, there are outliers on both sides of the spectrum. At the same time, there are outliers for gameplay, where one class needs zero setup to kill, and the other kills only in setups while having enough damage to kill. The game is saturated as fok, so your most effortless solution is buffing everybody to the level of S1 Ret, creating an opportunity to effortlessly set up kills as any one spec without a counterplay. Perfect balance.
Assa bursts with Dance on a fixed 1min timer. This player here also uses Deathmark, a fixed 2min timer. So, there is a Rogue who sends every single ability that he has in his spellbook, abilities that can be matched by the team weâre watching on a script since there is no CDR.
Guardian ? Still on CD for 20s. So, it was used on nothing when it should answer Dance everytime. Lock goes beyond 35% without pressing anything vs all-in, then dies because still not pressing while in execute AND cooldowns are available.
Itâs literally an all-in and they press nothing at all. Many many specs right now kill as fast as that or faster even if people are sitting here and watching when they get all-inâed (yeah I didnâtknow the verb for that one).
On a side note, he even says he should wall. He was correct.
Thank you for the free ammo I suppose.
By the way when do we complain that ToD hits harder than KB ? Because you know KB can only do that when it EXECUTES, so surely ToD should receive the same complaints no ?
In case it wasnât clear the first time Iâll say it again: you cannot just /dance 360 and hit 400k as Assa Rogue, it is an EXECUTE so people need to already be low when you press your burst, which shouldnât be happening often at all if both parties involved played correctly when it comes to trading.
I hit a tank with barely 1 mill hp for 390k with skillsbane. Iâm still trying to figure out how you supposedly hit a regular, semi-competent player for the magic 406k since best i got on a player in normal conditions was like 260k.
