Someone said this a long time ago just gonna quote it "Ninjas ruined this spec"
sectec is fine 
Can we just go back to armour reducing non shadow bs
is FW working on it?
yesyesyes
Lets assume fw is up on all targets and no fazed for the comparison:
Your eviscerate does 100 damage before armor, 50% of that will cleave.
So to your main target it will do 100*0.77= 77 physical
It will cleave 100 x 0.5 x 0.77= 38.5 physical
To your main target it will do 30 shadow damage (assuming no VT/DD/DB)
And because nimble is physical it will cleave 30 x 0.5 x 0.77 = 11.55
ah
Makse sense since nimble isnt a finisher it just takes all the dmg and 50% converts to physical
i feel dumb that i've never thought about armor for this but does blade flurry work the same way
for outlaw
Yes
Honestly yes
If we went the Shadow dmg fantasy since legion than keep it up
Why even make it physical
Guess cuz outlaw shares the hero talent?
iirc for outlaw it just increases BF damage
Wouldn't make much sense for them spec fantasy wise
does not matter, nimble works diffrently for them

something like +15% bladeflurry damage or something like that
even worse
but also https://i.imgur.com/5PcFTEI.png
Ok than just make it shadow for sub
LOL
which seems like a oversight
NO WAY
is it like a second on-hit
that's a separate dmg event
or something like that
For outlaw it would have made MUCH more sense to make nimble increase the target cap of bladflurry by another 5~7 targets
for some reason Nimble on Sub hits a second time based off post-mitigation damage and gets mitigated again
well assassiantions cleave works diffrently
but i am rly surprised why nimble isn't shadow
it would make sense for subtlety
yeah it's uncapped 
It aint
tbh yeah
Isnt spatter caped
"soft" capped
5t sqrt
Soft capped at 5
Yea
Which is worse than hard capped at 8 in most situations
watching warriors pretend thie class is ruined going to soft cap at 5 is silly tho
taht's how i explain it to my tanks/to my guildies etc, "mutilate in aoe flurries my poison dmg"
sure it's not exactly like that but effectively that's what it does yeah
Its undoubtably a big aoe nerf
yeah but it opens them up for singletarget buffs
Its like -20% dmg to those abilities in aoe
subtlety has BP which should hit noticably harder
Fury has the Outlaw problem
I find nimble fun for sub since sub has the best ST rotation but the way ita just a hard copy of actual BF is kinda lazy and 0 imagination
so nimble is for sub only a in between
At least the assa one is kinda diff
Biggest nerf for warri was Add dmg being remnoved from logs lmao
Its still bf but it has a cooler designe
At 13 targets soft capped at 5 is better than hardcapped at 8 btw
when i first read it, i had the impression of "sectec activates blade flurry", wchih would have been cooler i think
like if sectec cast would have like started a flurry window or something
but as it is, it's just always on
yeah I was not expecting the uptime on the buff to be this high when I 1st read the tree
Btw hero talents being linked to non baseline talents is absolute disgusting design
i dont understand why sub needs to jump through so many hoops
just to get bflurry up
it's the actual theme of sub holy shit
What
having to prayge for proc
Imagine if every stack of nimble was likea bomb that ticks cleve dmg based on the ST dmg you do and it speeds up its detonation the more dmg you pump into it, finally exploding and doing accumulative dmg to all mobs, kinda like tristana bomb from league if anyone knows what im talking about
tbh sectec forces prog its not that bad
It's still bf but much more imaginative
nimble has a high uptime
not being able to track resets on backstab activations can be annoying
so not rly that big of a deal
yeah imo the uptime is too high
what i dislike is that i cant track the cooldown of hidden blade
is it too high?
I would have preferred it to be more powerful and to be limited
yeah that's also true
Wouldnt surprise me if the backstab activation thing isnt even worth it anymore after the bp buffs
probably not worth fishing
It was like 0.4% before
like either it should be 100% or it should be like tied to some cd and reflect that in terms of dmg probably
i dont fish anymore i just bp until 2 targets left then i backstab evis again
it feels more natural that way, even if it's a loss
tbh i think storm -> bp feels meh. I always energy starve
well that depends on target count yeha
i do find myself missing seal fate
like unless i'm completely tripping we had it for a portion of dragonflight iirc
i think it was where vigor is now or something
or roundabouts that area?
i cant remember when we lost it
I think seal fate is better of as an assa exclusive talent, but ye we had it for a bit
10.2
yeh i think it's better assa exclusive
i just wish that like, 2-3t didn't feel so anemic
i wish for a lot of things 😦
!up
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
for the ST of dark brew build, do we always evis on full combo points? (for deathstalker mark)
I feel like i have to use way too much backstab to get full combo points which takes so much energy
If you have darkest night you need to get to 7 cp yes
im lv 626 and can barely get 800k single target dmg on boss.. this should be normal right?
Storm should proc hidden blade and we would never worry about bs in aoe again
you mean shouldnt
ig
It costs 45 energy, as much as strike, and is our aoe builder
Just let backstab die already.
Every day I wish for Backstab to be gone.
Gb is right there
Why not baseline?
Like you start with bs then evolve it to gloomblade
Its been long dead since legion
ye, if only
You could do something very fun with BS for PvP, too.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is it possible for us to look at like
target dummy logs or something lol
been messing with DS on the 5 target dummy and im just casually 300k dps behind my sim
Ye dont be in dornogal or valdrakken
And its gonna match up better 
For some reason theres some open world jankiness that makes some spells do less (like nimble or shadow blades)
WHAT THE FUCK
HUH???
WHAT
how does that even work man
doing different dmg in different places
Nobody knows, not even blizz
So ive been kinda lying because i was a silly goose and tested stuff like nimble on those dummies+some mobs outside to confirm it wasnt just dummies
ngl tho i feel like im not doing that much dmg even in keys
But ye nimble is 50% in dungeons
OOOOH
Not 40%, thats only on certain dummies and in the open world
Mobs have extra armor, we do less dmg, the aliens did it, choose yourself
Its got nothing to with that, its just 
giant pulls with like 20 mobs
im doing 5 million dps with trickster and 5 million with DS
and i feel like that CAN'T be right
and i dont think im playing DS wrong right, like prioritizing DN unless im about to sectech, im facerolling bp at 6 cp
The illuminati did it
i have deadly momentum and not follow the bug
idk
is it literally just tornado gap?
like DS will do the same big aoe as trickster
unless i drop inev + wm and get tornado?
wait wut... ?
flawless form does not work on nimble
*fazed
thats the bug
and its just complicated
because find weakness and fazed exists
so all that "use the advanced code" stuff when simming we don't do then when dungeon slice simming trickster?
cause my trickster sims pull ahead of deathstalker, thats for sure
(and honestly plays 1 billion times more fluid)
how the hell did u manage that
well, haven't simmed in over a week, but lemme take a look, will share results
Me when I spread misinformation :^)
Hehe how could you 
The good news is there’s only like 40 people or less that are affected by this.
How do I cope with my BBH log being less than I want though
Eat a snickers?
Seems I've picked a great time to try and get updated info on my sub alt that I haven't played in months
i still wanna know why im doing 0 dmg with DS in keys man
!wa
like the sim tells me i should be doing 8% more than my trickster sims
that'd be like viable dps
TLDR
still better
not nearly on sin's level but mayb just a bit below ret
instead of abysmal 1.3 million overall in a +11
and it's just not there even on the huge pulls
i dont get it
strap it in, about to witness a meltdown. 
nah im just genuinely confused lol
Could be a lot of things, spreading ruptures correctly, using DN correctly, ensuring you have FW up in big packs for BP value
That may be numerically true but this toon is for the lulz atm
well, DS simming higher now... I literally linked sims from a week ago comparing my trickster vs DS builds on dungeon slice showing trickster winning... Got told i was wrong and have to run some 40% advanced script, then DS won...
At this point, I've lost all confidence in any accuracy of the sims and will use my in-game performance details meters which almost always has DS losing in keys
like how is me facerolling BP over and over with FW everywhere
the same dmg as cleaving 5 targets only
does not metter, sub is cooler 
Fun fact. Dslice (and sims) are not perfect. They are an effort to recreate something that has many variables. Typically dslice is great for gear choices and talent decisions.
With how krangled sub cds, cdr and gameplay is currently it’s not out of the realm of possibility that optimum talent choices maybe extremely difficult to generate via dslice.
i think
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
What's the verdict for Tuesdays updates?
also 100
here
you’re also taking one or two instance of details vs 5000
^ is fairly obviouse that one of the specs might be a bit undertuned
Good for sub? Seems overall good for rogue
or that there is a problem with the fight style
Rip
subtlety is not bad or terrible
it gets a marginal buff in 11.0.5
still behind sin in m+
also because sin is honestly just overtuned
and sub possibly undertuned
but fear not
i discovered the pinacle of gameplay for sub
in raid will do better than now?
uncertain if sin is overtuned, there are a couple of specs that can easily surpass it in overall
oh no
wtf is fw waving
even
waving is a other word for tab targeting
means
you keep find weakness up on multiple targets
because its only worth on 2
in any situation you play trickster and have 2 targets
o that's 2 target patchwerk sim?

Please delete this.
On 2 target its not a big deal, even 3. Tab targetting FW at 4+ targets is cursed tho
sure will do
LOL
Tab targeting on that many targets generally sucks lol
you are correct, i should post the correct (up to date) result and not the one i run earlier
i mean, we still work on the sim
so take anything with a grain of salt in terms of optimizations
Yeah I'm just shitposting ngl
also welcome to #subtlety
we always find some nice edge cases
and if you follow the chat you have the burdon of knowlage
Plays mostly like non-dust did before the update, numbers slightly up
Lambos and knowledge
wish we could get a % lol
even if it's REALLY rough
👍
Plays worse does more basically
Fdk is getting like 7-8% st with the deathbringer changes

can blizzard just send out their employees to actually shoot us sub players in our homes already
bcuz at this point that seems like what they WANT to do
and they're just being phony and disingenuous
Idk people overreact too much, raid balance is good right now
enha already ahead of everything with fdk
And it almost always is
DK st isnt amazing, its very mid
Theyre cleave is what makes em good in m+
...but raid isn't even the main mode anymore
Fdk st is terrible
it's to fill out specific slots like trinkets
i meant m+
and they're hard failing M+ balancing
Its strength is in cleave and aoe
Its literally middle of the pack on a boss like kyveza though
Thats kinda the definition of mid innit
Tends toward lower and I think that's because kyveza has a bunch of stuff to feed rp through ams
Was just looking through wcl data
timers for kyveza might just be nasty, first dashes are mid pillar
iamgine being shit on ST and AOE
oh wait
we dont have to imagine it
What specs are those I need to know
people like to say fdk balance unholy and enhancer, yet I'd still have to see any of those except fdk dealing really high dmg overall
a friend mentioned he had an unholy with 2.6m overall on a stonevault without aug
but duh stonevault ig
Unholy needs big pulls to excel
yeah but thats kinda what people are doing whenever possible
I kinda hope they go for some buffs instead of nerfs this time around tho
Isn't enh topping the raid charts?

wät
no class does even close damage to assa from my experience
Even if you lose overall by a slight amount, the prio assa does is insane
i dont think its posssible to lose overall as assa eleem
in higher keys prolly not
only thing i could see be slightly up there would be Fdk / enhance
the only thing stopping assa from turbo gapping others is keys not being high enough
its litearlly spriest in s4
once keys get high eough you cant even get close to it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I agree
the only time i feel gapped as assa is in pure pure single target fights vs an arcane mage
and even then if i get a good kill timer im chilling
but prio is our niche 

they dont really seem to care too much about high keys, so its whatever ig
how much better is sub next patch ST and AOE?
Yeah I've very rarely been beaten as sin in a key on the overall
A couple of percent, sim ST is up about 4%
thats roughly as conclusive as "ive never been hit by a car"
AOE still not competitive with ass then
does ass get more benefit than others from aug?
Not really
like BM gets a lot from PI
guess the fly thing goes well with deathmark
Aug doesnt really matter though
Like youre not playing something because its better or worse with aug
I see
Theres tons of top keys without aug
is there m+ achievement for +15 right now?
man i dunno wtf im doing wrong
ret is still a middle of the pack spec right
im 625 ilvl, i should be doing more in overall no?
ret is OP as fuck in keys
you won't beat a ret in overall ever if the ret has a brain (impossible challenge)
do same thing every pull this time it somehow hits me 
but like i shouldnt be that much lower right
i mean, what key was that?
as your spec is what you're doing wrong 
you can't beat tuning
yeah, just pick assa do double everyone else while also having never played the spec before
hes obviouly beaming with his buttcheecks
legit not saying it to be cute or edgy. I'd love to be playing sub right now and not feel like I'm an inting asshole
NW

but like there are sub rogues doing +12s rn no?
are they just doing that with this dps?
Third wheeling most likely
We'll hit so hard the boss will explode.
bro thinks hes a shaman
explode
this goes hard
I feel like high keys require some nice pulling around sub cds
There are BM hunters getting carried in 12s too
ain’t no way I’d pug keys as sub. If you can orchestrate pulls probably in better shape but shit is rough.
assa just slaps which makes it even more inting
and you’re losing whatever extra defensiveness you had as sub in a few days.
I must have missed something. It feels like sub was doing well in raids and has since fallen off. Sin seems to have gained a lot of ground looking at the heroic raid dps parses
was there some tuning buff that I missed?
Probably just time and gearing
the bosses that majority of playerbase get to
Sin got a ST buff, Sub didn't.
Didnt sub get a minor dps increase from the changes?
u mean 0.5?
yea something like 3 to 4%
Assa got some tuning. It’s pinned in that channel. Sub wasn’t exactly blasting, but defensively it was better. Raid nerfs & the defensiveness was less needed.
but the changes are a bit a loss on some bosses
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
feelsbadman
worst part is, that pali is my bro lol
it's 2 of us against the world and im falling further and further behind every reset
is deathstalker worse numerically in m+?
nice
im looking at this shit rn https://www.archon.gg/wow/tier-list/dps-rankings/mythic-plus/10/all-dungeons/this-week
3 minutes late 
and i can't help but feel like this is bullshit lol
boss dam doe
Did you have to change to gnome
ur loot basically the same as what we got
yes
Why next week?
no double vanish
rn you can vanish cloak vanish vanish
you lose some p2 dmg
but it is whatever
after patch it is donezo
that too
of course not if you are gnome
yea hopefully the roots are fixed when i we rekill in 1month+
or just sit last one kekw
you get benched or go gnome (you go gnome)
pray to alla
We get another 2% buff next week or the week thereafter
for queen
yea some had none
3 minutes faster than you 

So sub is effectively dead in 11.0.5?
not really the standing wont change much just more annoying to play
oh and way more squishy
how did they manage to make it worse xD
It's an achievement
yea they try their hardest
They’re only putting attention to assa while throwing random shit at sub. One of the dagger specs works. Good enough for the 2nd to last played class.
think rogue is only ahead of evoker because you can have more than 1
isnt realz around these days to give an explanation?
he came here when death's perception was revealed
we indicated it was too weak and needed more
so now you get some % extra dam
This is something that i will never get
why blizzard plays favorites in terms of specs
why is feral so neglected
do they make 0 sense?
like u really thought about it and came to the conclusion they dont make sense?
constantly bugged, think of how coup was in the beginning, the removal of acrobatic strikes from outlaw that needs to be constantly hitting something, as if ret isnt literally ranged
and theres more
like there are constantly SO MANY bugs
so when they removed acro and ALL other range increasing abilities that was a rogue only thing?
or like, rogues the only class thats buggy?
have you seeen the 11.0.5 enhancement interactions?
like, im as unhappy with the dev team as anyone here
im not saying that only rogue changes dont make sense, a lot of changes dont make sense
but like, the changes made sense why they were made
its just that they didnt spend any time fixing the spec once the changes were made
fine, still plenty of reasons to complain
im just reading tc post by eleem and i got the feeling im not playing sub this tier again
as for the no ned to min max before boss pull
you can still SoD at 20 pull timer for 2 rotten charges
i find it hilarious how they make already chill spec more chill and the one more "complex" fucking dogshit 😄
well as you get used to it not a huge change
the surv hit you notice fast tho
soothing was kinda good
look very cursed on paper
yeah idk our hps is so low dat it barely matter i think
you notice it
play on ptr a bit vs tank dummy
and then on live
you die like 1 or 2 mins earlier
also idk why this guy had no exil execution but maybe 8% healing was big for him
this is one with exil
either way we lose like 20k+ hps
thanos snapped
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Will DS be better in m+ after anniversary patch or trickster Will come back?
trickster dead
10%+ behind
unluck
also coup has weird bugs with charger
havent confirmed all of them
trickster is not dead
its more like 3% between the two
or 4
but deathstalker still benefits from the ds mark bug in sims
so they are even closer
really when i put it on the situations you would use trickster for
it got rinsed
dont need to do much just hit the 5 by 5 dummies a bit on dorn in ptr
or the 3 by 3
trickster should be better on 2 targets tho
one thing is true DS is still annoying to play
use og dummies
the other ones are buggy
damn now even dummies are bugged
thats actually nothing new
we had this problem in bfa and sl with dummies
just means we might draw wrong conclusions if we don't use the main city dummies
Hello peeps!
I am going to start Mythic Progging and i can choose between Sub Rogue and Feral Druid. Got and tips what to do? I am REALLY torn..
practice
Change spec to 
at this moment sub is pretty weak
Ye Ofc… But what are the benefits of Sub? Sin? Na, not my jam
Sub dps is mid at best. Assa is top boss dmg.
Ye But its not as fun 🙂
If you only care about fun no one in here can help you
And Sub is getting buffed on the 20 anniversary right?
Fun is subjective.
well it will do some more damage if played correctly
but playing it is a bit more complicated
Ok so play better = do better xD like it should
honestly i have been playing feral recently, and its funny as hell to play, imo
the druid of the claw hero talents are awesome, not very strong but i have been having a good time running keys
Would u say its more fun than sub?
How Will it be more complicated btw?
its okay, you can play it in raids
similar playstyle, harder to play in my opinion but funnier than sub atm
in my opinion
It is not really that complicated really
Its just 1 naked symbols every rotation
Except the first after opener
i think it plays fine as it is now except for the flurry being the opposite of what i wanna do and deathstalker feeling super underwhelming
oh and coup de grace feeling like youre having a lagspike
trickster is probably the most fun
yeah i think so
11.0.5 plays a bit diffrent
some things simpler, others more complicated
overall still very much the same tho
guys i have a question
do you still use cold blood only with tech or do u use it also with coup
?
sectech
imagine if that realz person somehow comes thru for us against all odds
and at least patches us up with a 5% aura buff or somehting next reset
just to make us playable for now
well 5% would help but i dont think many people would be happy with that
because almost no one "plays" sub
yea i think if ur happy with an aura buff you should just reroll to a meta spec
they just go into it if it is better than assa or outlaw
cause ur priority is on dmg over gameplay
im not happy about sub after dust removal
like we are not happy with these changes
and i was big sub enjoer
ijust rarther play assa where its even
we lose agency surv and fun
and for normal people it is impossible to know
you want to use x or y bug to do more dps
I have a feeling sub will just go back to BFA levels of players
that new playstyle looks horrid
likely it is like that on player count but tuning a bit better
we were 20% behind assa in bfa
we are now midpack or whatever after the changes
Guys, do you think it’s worth switching to assa for broodtwister prog ? I have no stats at all…
you will do more dmg likely
trixter sub might be actually decent in m+ with changes ? thoughts
nope
Just tried assassin, why does envenom do over 1m and Eviscerate does almost nothing, I know we spam it, but overlal they can spam env too with multi target, I am confused.
it is worse but hey
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa why am i cleaving as a sub rogue
remove dust which was press vanish every 1min 30 which was confusing people apparently to the playstyle of juggling symbols charges with naked symbols and holding symbols 
is it though pretty high uptime on symbols + supercharged cps kinda benefit most sub out of 3 specs
i hope it plays better than it sounds
hey guys, haven't really checked in in a long time here but i was curious if anyone thinks sub will be viable in m+, i really enjoyed the gameplay in bfa, shadowlands and DF, but now it feels like way too much effort for little payoff
it is viable rn dependin on range of keys u doing if you are fine with being 3rd on meters
well i swapped to assa then i kinda stopped because im not a huge fan of the playstyle, just got keystone master today on a different char
yeah i hate assa playstyle too but before patch assa is ahead of sub by miles not sure if patch will change something
yeah, i saw that in m+ this week there were like 6k assa rogues and 27 sub
i'm not even expecting it to go #1 dps, i just don't want my mid burst top dps to be lower than my assa overall dps
lol it's the onlly thing that's remotely possible man
u think they gonna fix how shit dance alone feels in like
3 days
fact is they don't care about us so im hoping they at least slap on bandaid on the stab wound
it is an interesting change that is probably better for the longterm health of the spec
Idk maybe i should reword the post
Because i dont think its as confusing as people seem to think
maybe but naked sods could sitll be confusing
or like "dance if u can fit a sectech in your dance but also sod on darkest night" could be confusing
Ye i guess
trickster is quite confusing tbh
because you also have the <20, >40 rules
u have the extra stack rules
its definitely more confusing than vanish after blades
but regarding the changes and dust
i think its easier to tune the spec without dust
Well ye but then you get to fights where we pull blades to flag or the opposite
And its back to being very confusing
but also, adding the sod charges gives you freedom on when to dance insetead of having to dnace on sod cd
you can move things around. specially with the new sectech rules
that is a good nieche that made it more interesting imo, that you can pull your last blades if the boss is dying
it is also a niche that breaks the games concept of balancing
Interesting and confusing often overlap
and u end up with right now. where its really good on heroic, and some mythic fights, and awful on others
I agree with you fwiw
Taking out dance cdr would’ve helped more than removing dust I feel
Im also dumb so i could be very wrong
But having a button that reduces a flat amount sounds easier to manage than variable cdr
idk depending on the button that reduces the flat dance/sod/sectech cdr it could be very problematic
and very confusing
its also if you get a new player on rogue 90% of them will choose assa or outlaw and will think sub is hard / confusing, and I feel like its gonna be even more confusing without dust
Dunno I meant that being paired with looking at those cds I guess
Sub has always had cdr
its just you generate much more nowadays with shadowcraft
and blades
throw a brick at whoever designed the lingering/pv/gloomblade side of the tree
Ye idk the cdr being tied to cp generation and cp generation being pretty different pull to pull is something I had many problems with when I started playing sub
It gets easier over time for sure
Like in my eyes sub’s design has gotten problematic
ever since they started making
sustained damage talents
for a burst spec
i do agree that having multiple charges of dance and sod
and dyanmic cds of dance and sectech
and needing to align these
is very confusing
I think they need to do a little bit more for double dance, if anything dust made that feel good to do
like if we didnt have the sims to test things we would never know
I just want to go back
to post legion rework sub
is that too much to ask for
I seriously dont think they thought blades and shadowcraft rework
with dance cdr
I don’t think charges are the problem
Worked really good before
i dont think it did
bullshit lol
when did u have multiple charges of sod?
multiple charges of dance = having to deal with how many charges to send and when = cancer
I mean dance charges
having just multiple ance charges is very very very different
than multiple dance AND sod
That I agree with
like its not even similar in concept
That’s why I think the sod charge talent is a horrible bandaid
thast why i disagree though
i thnk its healthier for the spec to be able to move dance around with more freedom
than to move flag and blades around
i think sod charges create a really unique and interesting (and a bit more complex) playstyle
specially for trickster
my issue is with the placement of the talent
and the profile it creates
Fair point
i think if we ever want to change the situation where ppl bitch about having to learn sub whenever it's at all viable
making us send everything on cd like OL is the nly way
You mean to make the spec more appealing for more people?
with dust you essentially had double sod with blades/flag and it seems that is what they were trying to do with the sod charges but it just doesn't really work the same way
if u had 2 sods that probably is what you would do. but weith 3 sods it creates an entirely different dynamic
legion sub your dance was up roughly every 30
but even with 2 sods, the idea of having multiple sods during cds, but also freedmoe to send your extra dance outside depending on when u want is a good idea
i mean make it so ppl dont actively hate us lol
i remember df s1
ppl were SO salty that sin wasn't hard shitting on sub in keys
and that sub was even an option
yea thats what I mean, but even with 2 sods it 'kinda' works but you still have to hold
conspiracy theories are usually cringe but like
i rly feel like blizz is purposely keeping us dogshit
to appease the bigger playerbase
lke there is NO WAY they dont have time to give us a quick aura buff to at least make us not completely worthless
okay but like thats kinda cope tho
is sub so bad it needs an aura buff here?
what about here?
its only really bad on mythic and m+
holding symbols is the most horrible thing you can do with current sub, you might as well go afk, you do negative damage outside of sod/dance
m+ is kinad design problem / kinda tuning but also they dont really tune for m+
mythic is hwoever, stuck because sure its the worst spec in the game, but also its doing really well on normal and heroic.
and why should they tune for mythic when more players play normal and heroic?
and this disparity in performance is caused by dust, which theyre removing
so they can tune the spec
(this is my cope they might just be aasking chat gpt for what to do next i cant know - but this is my thought process if someone was taking logical decision in there)
realz said hes fine with that. I disagree with a lot of his opinionis on the spec but hes deciding, and just because i disagree doesnt mean im right.
oh god
i guess, but i dont think he sees that as problematic either
he was fine with holding flag
he likes the friction usually
df s1 was fine imo
holding flag is not as impactful, playstlye wise, its symbols and dance that affect your gameplay
and blades I guess
what lol, are we saying herioc andys deserve balancing lol
holding symbols makes you press backstab for a minute
while probably being the slowest class in the game for that 1 min
most player base also raids normal and heroic only
most player base will only do < 10 keys
and sub can easily do 10s
so like, by the defenition of what theyre aiming for. specs fine
by definition of what they're aiming for they literally don't need balancing lol
u can crush heroics with ilvl
and +10s too
like so what if sub is dominating in heroic raids lmao, are heroic andys gonna be forced to reroll over it
pretty sure and heroics only RL demanding that would be laughed out of the room no
now youre getting it
yeah so balancing only exists for ppl trying to push 3k+ anyway
and that's where sub's having massive issues
thats not true...
if youre doing heroic raids and u see a sub rogue doing a billion dps and they get buffed
youre not gonna be happy
it has nothing to do with rerolling
you play the game to feel reward for your good play
they should just go into a mythic raid for once in their life no
and if u dont get that, youre unhappy
idk
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste
one good thing at least is that with sod charges downtime would be a bit less punishing
honestly as cringe as Riot nerfing champions for gold and below lol
sin actually has a coherent tree
slap a bandaid on our stab wound now
so we arent literally forced to rr if we wanna go anywhere beyond rick fox low
which is why i've oinly played like 1 tier per expac since legion lol
rly fking annoying
what if ppl just accept that having to get 20 ppl together is fucking cancer and nobody even wants 20 friends irl
beyond ppl who are like 40+ years old xDDD
and all abilities could be tuned seperately between raid, M+ and pvp
it's more realistically like 24-25
because if you don't have a bench if 1 person calls out of raid you're boned
yep
would honestly prefer raiding to be purely for cosmetics lol
i think my raid team right now is 30
and it means doing heroic queen fucking blows with the fps
that's really rare
lowkey
i mean the basic fact of society is that
and technically a downside of playing the 1 of raid buff classes
the more ppl you involve in an effort
like dh
That’s also a consequence of social media
nah
people want more instant gratification
nowadays
there are much better games for if you only have
20-30 mins to sit down
and play something
lol didn't armin JUST say that ppl wanna play games to be happy
so all gratification should be instant lol
nobody wnts to sit on a call with 20 other ppl and wipe for hours
let me get into a key and give it my best shot
”No one”
you just equated your own enjoyment to instant gratification
some people literally play just to level alts
or flip the ah
are u trying to say ppl who lvl alts or flip the AH enjoy raiding lmaoooo
also there's literally nothing wrong with instant gratification lol
it's not like keys are loot pinatas with 0 effort
Yes but its not everyone’s cup of tea
and there’s much better genres of games for that
being able to see the results of your effort sooner
is most people's cup of tea
and realistically same logic can be applied to higher keys
the content doesnt change at all
only numbers go up
alot more people raid mythic than than the amount that does high keys so you just cant see past your bias
I can see how keys with the same 4 people can be rewarding
but if you’re a pug hero
you’re really just a moba player
in the wrong game genre
most people in m+
thats why they circlejerk meta so much
the people who say you cant get title as a “B tier spec”
most certainly do pug
not true
at least in a bricked key im not locked into an hour-long campaign of suffering with a heavy leaver penalty
would love to see the fking metric on that lol
insane ppl are that inbred
even in league u always duo to rank up no
i mean
having 1 guy who you KNOW isnt a dog on ur team
is a big deal
when the team is only 5 ppl total
look at people asking
i have a mythic raid team, a full guild, and a static i run keys with on my tank
what is meta in m+
but i pug on my MW monk and rogue
most of those people are pug andys
like i genuinely think m+ with a real constant team is rewarding
but get help if you’re pugging m+
most people do pug and realistically having a static just isnt in the cards
for anything besides gear
5 people with the same goals and gaming schedule can be tough
but i imagine it doesnt seem that way if youre young or have few responsibilities
honestly in some cases
raid rosters are easier imo
if your healer for m+ has an emergency
yoy cant just slot someone else in
usually
yeah 2-3 days a week at set times to raid, whereas keys are just when everyone happens to be online with no other priorities
but yeah i dont duo climb in dota
if 5 ppl is tough
it can be counterproductive
then raids are undoable lol
nah its just that raid takes priority and you have ways to hold people accountable
people want to have a structured raid team with a schedule
nobody wants that shit for m+ unless youre literally just a key hero and nothing else
lol are you not playing for title if ur focused on M+?
and if im already raiding 2-3 days a week, i dont really want to commit 2-3 more nights to run keys
Should authority of the depths used on both weapons. from what i can tell you dont get 2 separate dots with 2 enchants.
what if we dont have to commit 2-3 days a week to raids
i just mean its usually 1 or the other
and just play the mode where you need less ppl who are willing to follow the structure
the comparision would be alot easier if all raid teams ran on only 20 members
does the actual dot get stronger?
which is never the case
yes
indeed
the comparison is even better becuz u need even more than 20 ppl for non dog level raiding
i think in reality most people pushing high keys like 12+ arent pugging more than 1 or 2 people per run, if that
but thats like 2% of the playerbase if i had to guess
Very much less than 2% of the player base
thing is, people post when they cant make it
in any respectable guild
m+ its hella flakey
understandable when m+ gives literally nothing
for non title players
tbh
lol making it in a guild
This sounds like you’re projecting
Has the prerequisite that u dont want to shoot everyone present when it's a bunch of ppl talking at once
is it rly to work together with others, or is it so they can have people to beat
Means there’s likely something with you that’s the issue.
There’s alot better games for the latter.
pvp games namely
dont shit on wow lol, this game is insanely comprehensive in terms of what u can do
comprehensive he says
u play any fighting game, ur only options are faceroling and changing skins
Yeah, at some point, if you're constantly struggling to find a group to be a part of and going from guild to guild or group to group, might need to change your standards/perception on things
meanwhile u get to fking beat a key and then go do fishing
or play literal pokemon
in this crazy game
I feel most fighting game players who dedicate their time to it
would disagree
extreme bias is showing
they'd disagree that they don't have nearly as much options in a fighting game as they would have in WoW?
seems pretty cope lol
i mean if you ask better players they will say most specs in wow
play very similar
I mean, fighting games, you're playing for like championships and prestige. And a lot more money
when super simplifying it
and the thing is it's always easy to find a few buddies to play m+
but idk
there's always a few ppl i want dead in every guild lol
Can just queue up in fighting games in ranked
Then why arent you doing it
wait what
This is a fucked up statement btw.
did u think i pugged my way to where im at
Hasnt this always been the case
exaggeration lol, sry if it doesn't come thru in typing
Sure, but there were other modes/ways of going about it
"Exaggeration"
yeh i say i wanna kill my little brother too
but in a verbal conversation i can make goofy noises as i do to give context lol
Yeah, pretty much Xiani
idk in any game like this there are always builds or specs that are
numerically better
also idk why social skills should factor into gearing of a game at all lol
there are games where its not relevant
kinda disgusting
there should be no games where its relevant
BUT ur absolutely right that there's always gonna be a shittiest spec and a greatest spec
just saying blizz can always respond to it with an aura buff for now, and then get back to true gameplay overhauls later
i personally dont see the negative repercussions of them doing that
i mean sub’s problem is the design
like i literally called sin being the best spec
