Nothing to do with gcd, just as panda said you can’t meld while moving

#

It’ll break the meld insta

cerulean rapids
#

gotcha, so i just have a macro of /cast shadowmeld /cast stealth and dont move when i press it?

#

just for subterfuge

#

theres no way to put stealth in 1 button?

potent pivot
cerulean rapids
#

this is my current one, and i have to meld and stealth still

#

2 gcds

#

would love to have it on one button to press once

#

i assume htey cant happen without a cast sequence

potent pivot
#

Cast sequence won’t change that

Just spam press it

you Really dont know if you're going to get people who are straight up wintrading, alt character untouched, completely flubbed to high rank

#

I had a lobby this morning that almost actually got me to type to someone but I stopped myself.

#

DH would just bolt into the game and not pop any defensives, so I'm literally trinketing to defensive bomb him from getting double chaos bolted and this guy just dies without using abilities 2 games with me straight. Then plays completely normal, and the Lock with me next game starts being just as dumb

gleaming sentinel
#

its simply a matter of people following up your stuns or a healer dispelling you properly

dark kernel
#

yeah

#

well either way, I'm pushing as assa and outlaw simultaneously so we'll see where it goes

gleaming sentinel
#

once i finish these wins i'll grind outlaw

Hopped on the midnight beta to check out rogue. Sub is the only rogue spec that will be able to stunlock 3 targets in a go. Because of a sub tree talent called shot in the dark.

Anyone else agree this is a HUGE nerf to assa and outlaw? They’ll only have 2 stuns per go now. https://www.wowhead.com/spell=257505/shot-in-the-dark

The only thing worse than this was playing vs holy paladin in legion, as every healing spell removed all poisons and you did 50% less damage. Unwinnable.

But not in a bad way

Just pre DF speed

i didnt say he's bad or anything. I used to love him when he had that spark in him. But I mainly meant that he plays as a job and ive seen a lot of streamers doing 2.4k challenges for classes/specs etc

Getting 2400 in Solo shuffle is literally toddler tier for a multi rank1

#

And I don't even mean this to insult Palumor, but it's just super low hanging fruit.

If you can consistently even get regular gladiator you can 1000% hit 2.4k on any class in shuffle. At least with time.

quick question
as sub rogue in SS, do i generally try to cheap shot both DPS during a go if DR's allow it? If yes, only once or multiple times?

dark kernel
#

You can, but you need to kind of keep a mental note of your energy because CS isn't cheap. We know we got tea so you can stun the off dps, tea, then go into main.

You shouldn't....go out of your way to do this. Like if they are stacked sure. You only need to kind of cover your own damage if you think you're going to get stopped real hard, like on the opener probably

#

Nothing is worse than using too much time, energy. And your enemy healer CC is ticking down while you CC off dps before you even do damage. Can lead to broken go. But it's going to happen anyway.

and would we use a dance CD exclusively for peeling when the round is fresh and the kill target of my team has def CD's ready?
For example if a DH pops big meta so i stun lock him with kidney + 2 CS + disarm

#

right now, at around 2k, i struggle with finding a balance between peeling and doing enough damage

dark kernel
#

you need to make sure tha when you are "go" you aren't interrupting your rotation to peel. Big no no, save that for after.

#

when you don't have CDs just be annoying

#

gouge off dps, or healer far away, farm dance charges

jaunty osprey
#

Doing damage wins games

#

play too defensive and you’re not playing for a win condition

#

If you waste shadow dances just peeling, it will take longer for your turn to be on the offensive

I played a match last night into cupid with a pres evoker and I ended the game by globaling the pres in a kidney. And both the hunter and ret were free while I did it. They just couldn't stop me. And then I got to thinking just how badly they had to throw to allow that to happen. Basically the moment I killed this dragon their team had no healer trinket, no Commune, no sac, no pet sac, no lay on hands, no bop, and no sanc all at the same time.

lol they're still sticking to the haste shit

symbols gone

#

i'm dying here lmao

hidden moth
#

Developers’ notes: The changes for Subtlety in this update look to improve upon initial goals with further adjustments based on gameplay testing and community feedback received thus far. Some previous changes swung the pendulum too far, like overemphasizing Haste as an outlet for cooldown reduction on too many abilities and talent effects, and removing all generic damage bonuses from Shadow Dance.

#

kekw

potent pivot
#

they made it so that you only get CDR from your haste and not haste buffs

hidden moth
#

says this but doesnt fix the hast e chit

potent pivot
#

so like lust/pi won't give extra cdr

hidden moth
#

shit

so they couldn't figure out how to fix the darkest night/dsm bug

and instead made it even more stringent

a new deathstalker mark cannot be applied while one is already active...

so once u put it out

gotta eat all 3 stacks of it before u can place a new mark

better not mark the wrong target in pvp

Number tuning aside, what's your opinion on recent sub changes for pvp? I'm too new to really understand how it will impact the game

its going to make a spec that was already getting boring to seasoned players even more boring

true warren

Its a game wide thing too so don't think you can escape it

Yeah they're starting to grow weary of it

And now they’re just removing a bunch of buttons for no reason and not putting anything in their place

stoic spruce

Hey now

#

We may not agree but they have a reason

potent pivot
#

There’s no reason to make sub into fury warrior imo

stoic spruce
#

After these last changes, sub went a little too far tho

potent pivot
#

It’s ok to leave a couple specs with a higher “skill floor” in the game

stoic spruce
#

Fdk may be a good substitute tbh

potent pivot

At this point it’s looking like feral will be the only interesting spec left

stoic spruce

Feels like they have actual gameplay

And feral yeah

true warren

20sec CD dance, hasted CDR, so rupture, no symbols

Yeah rotation wise it's pretty easy. Just some muscle memory and that's it. Little thing to track

the part of this that is ironic to me

Numbers could change any time from now to launch so I try to focus on the mechanics

What is a rogue supposed to do without vanish if they aren't even getting decent survival buffs to compensate? Lol

#

Meanwhile paladin is more or less exactly the same and got buffed more this patch.

Hell, hammer of wrath is the judgement key now. They made it even more braindead.

because the only thing that matters on beta is design not tuning

it doesn't matter if kb is globaling on there, the spec feels way different than on live from a design standpoint

I been playing sin and outlaw on beta. Regardless of the tuning. Sin feels good to play maybe even a bit better than it does now

Outlaw feels weird to play tbh hard getting used to no vanish for offense

Sin has the best overall potential imo. Sub i'm on the fence with.

Will have to see but at least for dsm it was nice having another button to eat a stack with

Since shiv can only hit 1 tar now hemotoxin should be a 60% ms stacking with wound imo

#

Or buff it to 40% and let it stack with wound

potent pivot
#

i do wanna say tho ig i was wrong yesterday when we were talking about melee dmg in a broad sense

#

i was only looking at subs

#

some specs melee is dumb af atm 👀

I kinda like that tho. OG classic rogue melee dmg was always top but thats when you had 3 abilities doing dmg 😂

i kinda doubt it'll stay like that rly

hidden moth

A whole gcd that does 0 damage and only applies your crippling poison and a 30% ms… when we already got 20% ms …

still useful

could just drop hemo in general

Tbh with energy as it is control is king would be preferred

potent pivot

i hate that talent

hidden moth
#

I feel 20% ms 100% uptime would be better than 30% for 27%

potent pivot
#

not quite 100%

#

the whole point of hemo was that its an instant strong application, doesn't need to stack up etc

#

the reality of it is that we'll still shiv sometimes just for the slow

#

but dropping hemo isn't a big deal

Cool. This isn't in 100% correct order tho I assume

#

Everyone I talk to says you always shiv pre DM

#

Because shiv affects coins

exotic comet
# dark kernel Everyone I talk to says you always shiv pre DM

Is this true? Can anyone confirm or deny exactly what shiv does to effect coins? I was under the assumption that you shiv right before KB, to squeeze out as many envenoms as possible. If you shiv pre DM, it’s one less global for spamming envenoms in my opinion 😂

dark kernel
#

Some guy told me the from stealth burst combo was cs - garrote - shiv - rupture - cs - tea/trinket/deathmark - kingsbane - enevenom

#

This is the coldblood burdt

potent pivot
#

Coin damage is cosmic, which is a mix of nature and something else

dark kernel
#

Yeah that infograph isn't bad but it just tells you to use cooldown and when they're up on tiner

#

The order is not correct

stoic spruce
dark kernel
#

this shit looks wrong too

#

also no idea why he is vanishing to envenom

vocal surge
#

via Double Jeopardy

dark kernel
#

I think the rotation I was shown was more for the normal game play speed

#

Blowing a vanish on a 1 shot seems not ideal when the other combo does 90% of the same damage

potent pivot
dark kernel
#

also yes

#

it was

So it was easier to land a forced kill with vanish in the burst

gleaming sentinel
outer sky
#

so I just queued a handful of 3s as assa/destro and now I see exactly why the cold blood envenom talent has fallen out of favor

#

having a guaranteed kingsbane crit in 1 global during the lock's chaos bolt spam feels so good

#

its basically an instant cast chaos bolt you can add to the burst

gleaming sentinel
#

Nice

outer sky
#

I think inevitable end is probably better in most shuffles

#

but this seems really good with the casters we play with

#

destro, boomie, fire

gleaming sentinel
#

Or go with surv assa… we’ve had 8mill dmg happen in like half a second a few times

outer sky
#

With a destro lock

#

If you see a bolt I the air you can shiv>kingsbane

#

And that global will do like

#

12m damage

#

And you can kill a lot of people

#

Without them pressing shit either

#

Cuz theyre at like 60%

#

They see a bolt in the air

#

They think theyre fine cuz its just 1 bolt like no way they die

#

But you kingsbane when it hits

#

And they die

gleaming sentinel
#

Yea totally, it’s just the comp I got. And they are the homies

Nice to finally get some 3s going

outer sky
gleaming sentinel
#

Pres

#

Every 30 seconds we trap kidney and do big dam

outer sky

Yeah so your goes are basically

#

Every 1 minute you get a massive go where you have kingsbane and he has coordinated assault, fury of the eagle, and flank

#

Then every 30s in between you get a mini go with just flank

gleaming sentinel
#

Yep

#

It’s working better than I thought, took a few games to iron it out but it’s really fun playing a true setup comp

outer sky
#

Especially when he can cover his own CC

gleaming sentinel
#

I’m very new to rogue 3s

outer sky

He can stun the healer himself for his trap

gleaming sentinel

Yea

outer sky
#

Yeah I mean it definitely doesnt sound like it would be bad

It doesn't sound like its S tier either though
