until phase 3
mythic mechanic better be sick
that's all I'm saying
because that fight on normal?
i cant wait til limit hits P4 on crab boss 
"this boss on LFR sucks it doesnt even have any mechanics"
it's just boring
it's not a bad fight
it's just idk how they make it interesting
it's legit burn as much until 3rd pillar hits the middle and he starts killing azeroth
then you get juiced and its a race to the finish and hope people don't stand in the giant black puddle
like anduin was infinitely more interesting

think were similar
bring me so i get 4pc in 1 reset YEP ๐
idk if anybody has 4 in our guild
well think how easy itll be to trade!
i can confirm, i am the other rogue ๐ฆ (not really but also 0 tier)

I can't wait to loot heroic gloves tuesday
and not be able to trade them

cuz I have normal
i am using 291 leggo doe because ill just recraft if needed not too many problems
on hc it is already quite hard
lmao it's literally the same fight minus a pillar making people move out of orbs in p1 & an add in p3
that's a cold take man
redeemable for a piece you don't have
like freezing cold take
๐ฆ
you dm them saying "yo delete your character rn jk you're the best jk go fork socket"
Frfr
you wanna hear a wild idea? what if blizzard made the tokens non-class specific
and ANYONE with tier could trade to ANYONE
what if the free tier crafting station was here from the start
Buff sword nerf axe
That would never fly
wild, then they could justify the 1 week cd
insane
Too much qol
i got the xymox neck 
true lol
Blizzard would never allow players that much freedom before a .5 patch
Cuz then they don't have .5 content
i thinkits more they dont want players that powerful that quickly
should have never brought back tier
less about wanting to limit content until a .5 patch
Could've allowed it w1 at limited ilvl
well the ilvl of tier clearly doesnt matter when specs gain like 20%+ dps from it :p
and the amount of splits done one very difficulty
Ofc not but that's the point
Even if it's lfr ilevel capped or something week 1, it's still worth grinding the catalyst for it
Would give even more reason to do ZM outside of unity
should just be a catchup fueled currency item that drops from "tier" bosses
where like u get x currency from holdanrus or you get a full piece
and then every y currency you can make a tier item
which is bsically the creation catalyst but
right away
i think its a hard balance to figure out
because they could have made tier easy to get, but then the raid has to be tuned around EVERYBODY having tier insanely fast
seems like halondrus is tuned the way it is for a reason
to me the issue is that tier is too impactful, and splits are too effective
Yeah it is kinda weird that tier seems a lot more impactful than "legendary" gear
they might do it in 9.2.5
like they did with that second tier in archimond iirc
well its compounding systems right
nah too busy trying to break out cross-faction so people 3 years from now go "maybe SL wasn't garbage"
Idk. I'm chillin now after attempting h anduin for another couple hours and not being able to kill because people are too focused on padding on ghouls and not target swapping to the abom blowing us up. And RL had MM hunter in wft group because healers wanted frames a certain way.

Gonna be a long tier so may as well strap in
Yeah
But don't worry damage doesnt matter
they just do double damage in keys now
That's their favorite line
urh just giga juices them
they played their tier set right into their strength
Ye mm gets kyrian every pull
MM shits out damage even w/o tier
- trick shots slaps
Ye
They just get nut cleave for free
yep
seems very powerful
4pc is just a 35% dps increase KEKW
legit saw some mm hunters with 2pc making 17k overall

yeah
Meanwhile
10% tier target
THE PROBLEM WITH OUTLAW IS THAT HE IS CAPPED
same guy designs 31% for sin 


I finally broke the 1k difference between my sin and sub sims so I can no longer justify playing sin
sin might be a interesting choice for m+ after 4pc/2l
pay your dues for 9.0
But sub is balanced
i never wanna hear a sub mfer ever complain again after this expac
black powder the dumbest button they gave the spec
i will
just lets it be good at everything
sub needs buffs YEP
stupid fucking spec 
ill still complain about bfa dw
make CT baselin
this a clip of you during the first podcast?
Making CT baseline doesn't fix the 53% aura it has
true true
dont need guests every time
let you and seli rant about how dogshit 9.2 is
I'll jump on
get jpc on the next
So guy can complain the whole time about how he was lied to. Can't wait for that tbh
or maybe after the tier
im having an alright time with kyrian sub
but this tier will forever be tainted with being lied to
Ye I played kyrian sub first time tonight and it feels fine. I'm more upset at the fact that sub is just flat out better in everything and it's annoying

i hate the fact that we play 2 covenants only because is a hassle to go back to oribos to change covenants
As soon as black powder was revealed I had a feeling the spec would just begin to overshadow everything
It's not even necessarily BP to me
they can always remove it
Like BP is good for pad sure
remember burst of speed?
I just don't like when you have a 3 DPs spec and they don't have a niche
It's just that they get a full CP bar for pressing one button
And black powder kinda lleans into that
Because before it was outlaw aoe sin cleave sub st
And funnel
But now it's just sub aoe cleave st
Ye BP does give sub the aoe title
Nerf outlaw dmg by 20% but make blade flurry 80-90% cleave aoe uncapped

wouldnt mind having that back tbh guy
make BF also hit the primary target
Ye
I'm a real sucker for things being very unique and potentially terrible
I liked when sub didn't have BP because it kinda forced the spec into always being a funnel spec.
The spec could not do aoe. It was impossible
I mean as much as I don't think they could've completely uncapped BF it would've been nice to get some kind of change. To literally get nothing was just wrong
I liked that
I like rtb because it feels like nothing else any wow spec has
Even if it's had its up's and downs design wise
I'll take a unique idea over "being good"
Which is kinda what BP feels like to me
It's a button that was designed to "make sub good"
And a lot less unique to me
Well it's just stupid to me that sub has the best ST AND the best aoe literally at the same time because they can press storm + evis or storm + bp
shuriken still has the functionality of sub being a funnel spec
meanwhile I'm foking for 3.5 years to get 5cp
Yeah that's my point
It's just like
BP allows the spec to be whatever it needs to be
Ofc sub can just be undertuned and just be bad at everything, but I still don't like the design of BP in general to me
And they don't have to talent into anything either. Like even without nado they still have great aoe
i dont think anyone should have to talent into having some sort of aoe spell
super cringe
make ct baseline
I said it before but I like when specs are unique
etc
Sub always being a funnel spec is unique to me
sure unique is good, sin aoe is balanced around dogshit generation, but that doesnt mean that ct shouldnt be baseline imo
But now BP just means it's just a damage spec just like any other
That is only good when it's tuned highly
Rather than it being "oh so we can abuse sub rogue funnel here"
It's just "oh sub is tuned the highest it does everything let's just use that"
Ye funnel / bursty cd based ST, sin is consistent st/limited cleave, outlaw aoe. Bring that back
Either way outlaw will be fun on farm
Also glad they made sure to make the sub 4 set to shore up a sub rogue weakness

Just so it can do everything the best 
Yeah that's another thing that felt like a slap in the face
and also have sinergy with legendaries and conduits
i wonder if a pistol shot conduit existed
Sub cleave existing 
"we want to push specs more into their niche, except sub....we'll gpatch up their only weakness"
instead of the travesty we have on ambidex
meanwhile the outlaw one only has light synergy with 2 bad legendaries

It does
same as wickers
Just not very well
just badly
Yeah
true true
Not using pistol leggos with pistol tier set explains the injustice towards outlaw
didn't you hear? it'll be a sin tier because sin tier is the bigger %
despite it being less damage than sub still

well at least sin will have dreadlords
Sin on 2 fights 
pantheon is kinda oof
Playing outlaw anyway 
Being a lawer 
Hey guys don't forget about downtime sin is the prog spec
well just play triple threat and proc a lot pog
you got somethin against lawyers?

d o w n t i m e
I'm going to sue Ion for negligent infliction of emotional distress
So what usually happens with an expansion announcement
Is it basically just the name
Or do they do big details
Or like if they were gonna do a new race or class and shit like that
Right
So its the big shit thats gonna be in 10.0
Like for sl it was like covenants and soulbinds and whatever
"return to class fantasy rather than spec fantasy"
Im assuming
Epic fail
i mean a lot of ppl like it lol
I mean its like fine
But did they really do that
Ig covenant abilities by class kinda
Wft is literally spec tho
yes but its part of the shaman class fantasy to totems
Poisons is cool snd is just boring but its fine ig
which enhance didnt have as much before
i mean idk every example because its been so long
oh u guys were talkin
but a lot of class wide buttons werent before
legion had stronger spec fantasy
what did i miss
I miss class halls
the order hall was the class thing
vibing in the sewers with my boys
yes but the actual spec designs were like two different planets away
oh fif this is legion talk
Oh sure
sub rogue in legion, and outlaw rogue in legion were two different classes
legion was more spec fantasy opriented cause every spec had their special weapon
they had almost nothing in common
then sadly i have no idea whats going one
Ye i get u guy
i waant asking for u to fill me in idiot
it was cool as fuck too
what u talkin for then huh
having your weapons set for the entire expac
Like the main similarities were super core class stuff like combo points and like armor types and main stat and stuff
Whereas now theres more overlap
yes
wouldnt mind it being more like legion in terms of specs tbh
exactly
i was simply wondering what the convo was about
#lThen I was excusing myself for not knowing
like sub rogue in legion was doing backflips, applying nightblade
Like shiv and snd 
I dont mind gameplay within class being similar but they should at least do different shit
sin was applying bleeds, poisons flying out on your finishers
Like niches small cds
quit being a hater guy
outlaw was shooting dice everywhere, had 10 gun procs

then stop derailing 
I WASNT
Bro the fuck is nightblade
nightblade is 
it was a sub rogue flavored rupture
What thats way cooler
it wasnt
Yeah it was
it was cringe
it was the worst button sub had
O
actually so stupid
which in SL was removed in favor of adding rupture to add more overlap into "classes' rather than "specs"
well yeah sub rogues dmg profile was so frontloaded into evis
I like shit like that kinda though
and thats coming from me
nightblade was a rupture that was so bloated with damage and it had half the duration
rather than being 36 seconds it was 16
it did a fuckload of damage
it was also a mortal strike
and it also caused you to do 15% more damage to the target
very annoying ability to play with
O
low duration, high impact, had to be reapplied a lot
I like the idea that its a different version of rupture but it sounds like the gameplay wasnt great which sucks
ye it was a bummer
More damage to target is pretty interesting honestly
for some reason blizzard couldn't decide what was good spec fantasy
and just nuked a ton of it
Imagine you apply that before dance and just gigablast
nop
it was literally just rupture
you keep it at 100% uptime
because the bleed damage it did was also very high
if your goal is 100% uptime anyway it doesn't really matter if it gives % increased damage
Gotcha
you had 1 azerite you played around
at least for ST gameplay
it was just a purple rupture, that had a lot of other text on it
but it was kinda ooofers
Thats pretty disappointing
it was purple rupture that made aoe ugly
Give it a cd or something

true
before it saw the light of ptr exit
I miss azerite
tier ๐ฅธ
azerite 
azerite > Tier
azerite made you be able to do funky builds
and i did like corruption after vendor came out
azerite also got an entire expansion to be iterated on
instead of just getting a month or 2 then being shit for the entire tier ๐
Watch Hachadino's clip titled "1.9 Mil Getting even Closer to that 2 mil(this time i realized I said 1.1 instead of 1.9 fast)"
azerite was super wank on uldir tho
the old clip
balanced blades
or first SS
also first iteration of first dance with 2 charges
no iteration can fix it when you remake it every tier
my other favorite topic
stats that are useless for no reason
and never adjusted or fixed
Mastery
So many masteries are boring too
Mastery works sometimes for sub aoe no?
Like they do nothing meaningful
remember when haste did not affect bleeds or poison

for no reason
yeah lol
I think they need to abandon this energy class 1second locked GCD thing
and let our GCD scale with haste
maybe not to the degree that it does for 1.5gcd specs
but something
Idk i dont hate 1s gcd
let the noobs fail
and i dont need more feels based Haste related discussions and debate in my life lok
im too old for this
it's a way to fix the haste problem for energy classes
I'd rather look at mastery honestly
we have a bigger problem with mastery
Ye mastery should be looked at
its just bad for sub because sub doesnt do damage with energy/autos as much
Haste can be compensated by "proc on attack" effects like sht or outlaw energy proc
it's a problem that crops up from expansion to expansion
Bro i hate looking at my breakdown and seeing like 35% passive damage why is everything poisons and white melee
it's not a problem right now for outlaw and sin ofc
but last expansion only sin even wanted haste at all
well ye thats my point
yea haste and mastery can be stinkers for us
it feels like they don't try to maintain it in any way it's just random
which is the core of my complaint
no need to rework a whole stat just because sometimes its bad/good
if we dont rely on borrowed power fiesta
in my eyes anyway
no effort on blizzards part to manage stats in any significant way
Agree
But if stats are boring and always bad....
i also dont know why they changed outlaw mastery
i think in general more mastery stats need to be looked at
because a lot of them suck
LOL
Outlaw mastery not increasing chance for main gauche to proc is pretty disappointing
main gauche getting extra % proc was way better
than getting a lil more dmg when it procs
yea it was actually quite good as the expansion went on
even if it was not the better of the 4 stats you got something from it
i miss pandaria combat
Extra % would also make the tier set better
mainstat 
it's just everytime mastery is close
we get some kind of borrowed power that nukes it
due to our mastery offering no synergy with it
honestly mastery should just increased the damage of everything that can't proc MG
would need to take power off other things
then also give MG % chance
outlaw should be the combo point class
make mastery get extra chances to proc cps or get more cps after finishers
also I think outlaw having % increased potency of finishers is like the perfect mastery for outlaw lol
๐ gun ability damage ๐
to make the machine rolling faster
but that's literally the sub mastery
pls no
man i miss ace sound
just gun ability damage ty
CHCH
I don't want a complicated mastery that blizzard will never be able to balance
and subsequently be too afraid to buff
Gotta low how we have a dead dice talent for the entire expansion
i want a complicated mastery stat thats overpowered
like just make it so mastery is worth 3dps
Bro like half of rogue talents are dead
and the next best stat is 2dps
Its pathetic
I mean sometimes talents are dead by design
To be fair outlaw is pretty good in that department
if a talent is bad it's because blizzard doesn't want it to be good
lot of variety and use for almost everything
Sin talents 
sin talents are good too no?
last tier was all over the place with what people were using in top logs
Like 2 rows maybe
dude sin logs were all over the place
And that useless fok ability
between ep mp sub ma mfd deeper vigor
Thats just bad players bro

It's the bottom half
its the bottom 2*
Exsang is dead, venom rush is dead, hidden blades is dead.
Yep
i mean its really hard for EVERYTHING to be good
PB may as well not exist
Ns is pretty dead
Dogshit talent
but theres a bunch of diversity for sin/otl overall
rn I think outlaw actually has flexibility in every damage row lol
Mp is dead
there's a HB 1 shot cheese in pvp
outlaw talents are perfection
What are some truly dead talents for outlaw?
There's weaponmaster, loaded dice
my feedback from when BR was added to the game still stands
BR feels like the talent you take to replace KS with a better spell
BR is sick as fuck tbh
Vigor at the beggining of shadowlands 
blade rush is also perfection
BR is a blaster

probably the coolest rogue ability in the game
Yeah killing spree is just disappointing to look at as well
i feel like you could make KS such a cool talent, and buff it at the same time
They butchered the damage of the ability
that's about it
where instead of you doing KS, you summon "dread pirates to do killing spree"
so I can choose how it works
yo @wheat onyx have you seen the post about mfd+sbs tech on rygelon?
which post

ur blocked
and with that ill go to sleep
Get got guy
sleep well
LOL
fellow crab watcher
Maybe echo kills crab today
I'm glad they are tuning the raid around RWF
I think they do
the funny thing about it, is that i linked to one that oyu posted yourself

it makes the raid so much more cool and engaging
Liquid got it to 5%
forgot an asterisks
yeah thats why i hate it
๐ค
Sin for sure seli dont back down
id say thats otl tech
Both
nah mfd can go in the trash where it belongs
1 spike on boss, 1 on usntable matter
I'm done playing venthyr because I'm fucking over mfd
replace dancing steel talent with
a stronger cannon ball barrage
instantly yes
give dancing steel wits
Ks summon dread pirates
make loaded dice cause your RTB to always roll at least a match

make dreadblades have greed
idk, i honestly liked cannonball barrage, and was sad that it was never good enough
same tbh
one of the few thematic spells the spec had
if anything it was iconic for outlaw
Loaded dice should just give 1 additional random buff for Xseconds when you cast AR
and make it work like old tier19
loaded dice should just cause you to always roll 2
where if you reroll the buff changes
were it x seconds you could actually tune the talent
yeah thats fair
but man, i want to just always roll 2
make loaded dice add harlins dice stat buffs per roll

loaded dice should just be an active ability that grants you a buff you dont yet have
on a cooldown, ofc

all rogue specs should have a way to boost damage of builders/finishers but lower energy generation
overcapping is fucking awful
id be a great ideas guy for blizzard
let me tell you
first idea, remove mages
second idea, remove boomkins
promoted
Mages arent people
you have my support already
third idea, remove parrying
you can stop selling me
some other specs spend more focus/rage/anger/hatred when they are nearly capped for additional bonuses
right off the bat
mage as a class attracts mage players
for ONE tier
whhich is the thing
Ill pay you if you can get this through
extra mut crit chance, extra SS double hit are both things that could consume spare energy
its like sweden and swedish people. great country, if it werent for the people living in it
and I'm sure sub has something you could slap onto a generator
@hollow seal "killing spree lasts until you run out of energy"
outlaw should have a passive like fire mages
to make ss proc pistol without rng silliness
gn
gn
have fun brainstorming for a dead spec
gn
fk u bitch
gn
okay
parry is so fucking stupid
I hate parry bro
I feel like KS used to make you immune when it first came out, unless I'm misremembering
I love that bosses erratically spin
When shiv gets parried i want to int the raid so i can get another pull
and just get shit parried
Parry ghostly strike 
"killing spree; all damage outlaw deals is doubled, lasts until you run out of energy" - youd make it have a cd, and then it would rampingly drain energy per second
parry is a dumb fucking mechanic
hmm that would give outlaw a actual burst
Halondrus is so satisfying because the crab has no parry 
Uncap outlaw
like for the sake of understanding, 1 energy per second for 10 seconds, 2 energy per second after 10 seconds for 10 seconds, 3 eneryg per second after 30 seconds for 10 seconds etc
TRUE i have no fear
but then we will be pigeon holed on tal;ents that up eneergy regen
way to make energy stacking good\
aka vigor
vigor
alac
quick draw
I think during AR you should be able to overcap on energy
for my killing spree
bro what if outlaw could use double daggers
then after AR ends the spare energy is returned to you over 30 seconds
and maybe have shadow dance and symbols of death
Daggers 
and maybe not exist
It did in bfa
its called kyrian sub?
haven't heard that one in a long time
combat
yea just delete outlaw
make bladeflurry a toggle again, make it so that builders and finishers deal 20% more damage while it is active, but also consume 20% more energy. done.

legit the only reason why im gonna play lk classic
make it so BF can trigger BF
Although kyrian sub definitely feels a bit outlaw to me
this effect can chain
Which I enjoy
seli rn
Danger to society fr
a man of culture
IM BRUSHING MY TEETH OKAY
I wish the BF active did more
mop was
I actually like the idea of current BF
mphm
if only the active just did something
make it a proper generator
i can shitpost onehanded
make it just actually do damage
bf was strong enough to use in st
anything
Cant wait for SL classic
classic wrath is likely the last classic server
actually I think letting the BF hit trigger the BF passive is a good fix for the skill lol
the old bug from beta
Isnt cata still boomer wow tho
dear blizzard. give back anticipation. thanks. regards, all rogues.
since it would then only do significant damage in actual aoe
which sucks cuz I missed mop
everything before wod is boomer wow
but like, cata is when the game became very different
Cata was "modern" wow
yeah
The two expacs i would actually want to do as classic are mop and legion because i started 9.0
I'd say big shifts happened during cata and legion
back in my day we had to download an excel spreadsheet to sim ourselves
Unlucly i guess lol

cata was when wow started to change
I only started engaging with sims in wod lol
Cata, and wod were the 2 biggest shifts in wow to me
I really wish i had known wow was a good game when legion was going on
downloading simc 'nightly' to my computer
Same
running a slow ass 100k iteration sim
Ppl in classic still use excel spreadsheets I think
you didn't miss anything, the spreadsheet was confusing af
if it makes you feel any better, people were equally negative about legion when it was out
I wish I could get the raidbots ui locally
every wow expansion is "bad and terrible"
I would actually run sims myself a lot more
until its over, and then its good
just because I could run something truely massive and come back in an hour
Oh no that I was there for
Wotlk was good :(
I didn't play cata but it seems like the expansion brought in a lot of really good long term features
I'm on record of hating the vast majority of legion
Except bfa right.....

Oh wait
every expansion before is betetr than the current
bfa i considered to be shit
see
Literallt everyone rn is like bfa wasnt that bad
Atleast it isnt pre 9.2 slands 

i still consider bfa to be a kinda lame expansion
bfa is when i became a person
Bfa didn't make me quit
That's why no one takes you seriously
If you were a casual who didn't raid like me
I guess there's that
but overal people like bfa for a load of good reasons
1 blocked message
doing mythic crucible straight out of a guild that was barely getting Jaina down
Raiders hate mechagon
I love mechagon
the was the first and last time I played sin too
and i can see and respect those reasons. cough aces cough
my biggest disappointment of BFA is not getting to do uunat
uunat made you play sin
my next biggest is not being able to do TOS
but overal, i was really happy to see bfa go

Casuals didn't need to worry about ap grind as well
Btw guy, there's a special neck in sepulcher, do you think it's good? It's called iris something
oof
sl i enjoyed at first, but all the stuff happened which kinda killed sl as a expansion
i do too
I've had a lot of fun with SL
i see its potential and i love alot of the new systems added in sl
Then we went back instead of killing m ashvane and killed it in two pulls
1 blocked message.

Content drought is the biggest issue with sl
just a bit of a shame due tot he content drought
but overal covid and scandal's hindered its potential
there isn't really anything specific to SL that I have a problem with
outside of covenant swapping
which directly led to the content drought
Yeah i think the content we got in SL was pretty ok, but qol came pretty late
unless we count the return of tier as a mechanic
i think there was a canceled mini tier
covenant swapping, conduit energy, less loot to try to make "loot feel better"
idk about a full tier
well mini or full
just onetrick
I never ran out of conduit energy on any character
it's just that easy
I kinda wish the catalyst became available earlier
i feel like there was suppose to be a KJ, helya raid
something got canceled which kinda disrupted the flow of the story and content
People are still convinced 9.2.5 will have a mini raid
and it just never happened
Yeah a drust mini raid seems pretty likely tbh
So idk
Still sitting at 1/4 ๐
exactly
Like it was gonna happen
I ran out of conduit energy so much in 9.0
helya is gone, mezula loa gone
Isnt kj dead or smth
nathanos gone
Yeah helya just randomly dying was so fucking weird
wait
That made no fucking sense to me
when did she even die
during the korthia quest
Primus just yeeted helya lmao
9.1 campaign
the amount of stuyff that feels like should be biggger but isnt, is staggering
Yep
y'all paid attention to any of that?
lok skipped the cutscene 
Nah
idfk
To be fair it just shows how powerful the primus was

I assumed she survived
conduits have extra levels that we cant get
I haven't watched one cut scene that I could skip
Bro only cutscenes i dont skip are raid end cutscenes
but i guess you can say its the "empowered" conduit" data
cutscene skippers 
we are still 1 level short of the cap I think
Should've skipped the jailer ones
I'm not wasting my time watching this dogshit lore
which if anything tells me they axed the renown we were going to get this tier
just alot of things, are weird and outof place and cut
And i do love how they made a big deal about tyrande killing Nathanos and how that was kinda his plan, and now the writers just forgot about him
imagine watching the lore
more conduit empowerments up to 100 renown
L
R E
this
I do think ppl overreacted to shadowlands lore too much tho
true
100% felt like we were supposed to have a conduit tree extensionm
people just like to be angry
i just found out the runecarver is the primus
80% of it is fine
but they cut it due to grind

I forgot about him after bod too
its fine
I love gaining a higher ilvl conduit so i can deal .2% more damage. Major expansion feature btw
Especially with dreadlords transforming into random npc's in raid
sylvanas deciding to randomly become evil is my primary complaint
the last like, huge story in wow was arthas
Story's been bad a lot longer than sl
^
People tend to forget
true
for the most part, wow story has been really corny, full of holes, not too serious etc
HUGE DAMAGE
