#

with this fking game u usually gotta wait for like an entire tier to get any help lol

#

so grateful for death perception and supercharger

vestal escarp
#

we still waiting

pliant topaz
#

u do realize sub and rogue as a whole litealrly got nothing going into tww right?

#

and the "rework" youre talking about was the removal of the most impactful ability in the entire subs kit

warm aspen
#

OOOOOH you mean this is literally just them turning in late homework?

#

lmao nevermind then

#

but hey, still glad it happened tbh

pliant topaz
#

its about 10% of what every other spec got in tww

warm aspen
#

i'll take what i can get man, anything over actually having to reroll

vestal escarp
#

ret still blasting even without lego

#

got a huge mastery rework

warm aspen
#

just wonder how long it'll take WoW to get into a proper balancing rhytme like riot lol, since they seem to be trying for that now

#

like, steady 2 week pure balance patches that are actually thought-out

tribal blade
#

the beta cycle for rogue was pretty bad

warm aspen
#

i've always disliked the idea that you can't nerf/buff classes too much just bcuz the game is an MMO

tribal blade
#

actually not pretty bad, really bad

warm aspen
#

like, to play league at any non-dog level you gotta pour countless hour into champions too, and onetricks getting nerfed is just as impactful as ur main toon in an MMO getting gutted

#

there's no REAL reason to go light on wow balancing other than "less work to do"

pliant topaz
#

wow is fundamentally very different than league

#

these are characters people gear and invest into

#

you cant have giant balancing patches that shift the meta

warm aspen
#

bcuz you need to grind league even more than wow to actually get good

pliant topaz
#

getting good is irrelevent u have the freedom to change your champion every game

#

u cant reroll and get max gear every day in wow

warm aspen
#

technically u can change ur champ every game, but you'll never rank up on a champ u don't master

#

balance changes/meta shifts are giga-detrimental to both "competency needed to hit CE/title" and "competency needed to hit masters+", and completely irrelevant to any lower goals, so I tend to think in those terms right

pliant topaz
#

thats not really a valid argument

#

because u do have the option

#

still

#

u being a 1 trick

#

is not a valid excuse

warm aspen
#

basically learning a new champ pool is just as hard if not harder than max gearing a new char in WoW, yet league still forces people to do that bcuz it

#

is the fair thing to do

#

for balance

#

is what im saying

pliant topaz
#

thats also not true

#

because u can hit challenger on any champion in leaguye

#

because solo q exists

#

regardless of the meta

warm aspen
#

uhhhhhh

pliant topaz
#

i hit gm as zed when it had litearlly 46% wr

#

while getting perma sniped

warm aspen
#

there were 0 garen mains in challenger for like

warm depot
#

beast mode

warm aspen
#

6 years

#

no

pliant topaz
#

but there are now

#

there are garen one tricks

#

teemop one tricks

warm aspen
#

yeah bcuz he's actually strong now

pliant topaz
#

sure, but its not the meta

#

its not broken

#

its viable

#

and 100% of classes in wow right now are viable for most contents such as mythic raid / pvp / delves / m+s until 15s/ etc

warm aspen
#

oh yeah i think that actually kinda helps my point even more lol

#

like more strict but fair balancing technically doesn't force ppl to reroll right

#

it's just that ppl are naturally dramatic

#

and blizz caters to people who are objectively wrong

#

to keep farming sub money

warm depot
#

i think slower cadence with more meaningful balance is better

#

league intentionally balances often because they choose certain champs to balance

#

they also have to pick and choose from a roster of >100 vs wows like 13 classes or whatever

#

even with specs its <50

pliant topaz
#

i kinda agree with stella. league enforcing metas is different than wow enforicing meta.

#

the goal for league isnt every champ is perfectly balance

#

the goal for wow is that every spec is viable for most content the game is offering

#

but then with any competitive game, if you have LFG based systems u can get what u get now

#

like this is litearlly hwat i sent wjhispyr today

# pliant topaz i kinad like sub in some of these keys ngl

My sub struggle atm is being in a pull that’s halfway dead and CDs come up. I don’t know if I should send or not. Sometimes I do send and it does so fast I regret it. Sometimes I don’t send and I do less damage than the tank. But when the CDs are lining up right with pulls it’s magical

#

Sometimes you’re in a dungeon and it’s like the stars aligned and the CD timings are perfect. That’s so beautiful

short radish
#

sub in keys when you can take advantage of TFD

#

is fucking great

#

when you can't take advantage of it as much

#

kinda not as great

#

need to reduce it by like

#

2 seconds

#

because it takes 3 seconds to drop combat or something

tribal blade
#

i broke 3k the other day

#

i wanna run some sub keys too

#

it's been hella fun in 10-12s

btw u guys wanna see brust? my friend sent me from their sikran today. this is their shamans dps after lust was over so 40 seconds in the fight

#

top one is totemic bottom is storm

pliant topaz
tribal blade
#

oh ok so coup can completely bug out and stop being used for an entire fight

#

BEAUTIFUL

#

just did heroic court and couldn't cast coup the entire fight

spark tusk
#

yeah

#

it happens if you get a lag spike at exactly the right moment

#

(or, wrong moment)

tribal blade
#

ahhh i see

#

well it's a good thing i play with 200 ms

#

smile

#

how bad is it i still beat some people on my raid team

#

with not being able to cast coup the entire fight

hazy breach
#

Big burst = big fun Pog

pliant topaz
#

i dont think it can do 2.9M dps by the time its done 122M damage tbh

#

but maybe

Had a 4.3 mil burst last raid

Whats the reason we vanish after first evis ?

lucid jackal
warm aspen
lucid jackal
#

SS does bonus damage, and also, the alternative is you press backstab 5 times

prisma stump
#

Understood.,

And are we still only doing 2 x dance in opener ?

warm aspen
#

and u happen to have flag in opener xD

prisma stump
#

Haha, gotcha. Ty!

warm aspen
#

yeah and ur gonna have to send a symbol without dance

#

to get 2 dances back by flag cd

prisma stump
#

Thattle be after my 2 x dances I'm guessing

warm aspen
#

ngl it doesn't rly matter

prisma stump
#

Just send when available

warm aspen
#

no like, u gotta skip one dance some time from 1st to 2nd flag

#

it can be at any time

prisma stump
#

Alright, just always have 2 dances for flag

warm aspen
#

but it's easiest to basically remember not send dance wehn flag < 25 sec

#

but if u hold the 2nd single dance after opener for example, it's still the same effect right

tame terrace
#

so we still need to be sending naked symbols sometimes huh

steel horizon
#

even though you will have 1 sectec w/o dance every 1:30

warm aspen
tame terrace
#

OH

#

oh ok

#

got it

#

danceless sec techs huh

warm aspen
#

i think this is actually the only remaining issue left to sort out with sub

#

the naked symbol

steel horizon
#

its just because we dont have enough cdr on dance

#

even though we have a lot of cdr now with supercharger and coup fixed

warm aspen
#

i mean with the way current dance works

steel horizon
#

still not enough lol

warm aspen
#

we'll NEVER have enough cdr

#

the diminishing return of % remaining cd scaling

#

so yikes man

#

i think bringing dance back to like 0.7/0.8 sec per cp like b4

steel horizon
#

thatd be nice

warm aspen
#

and maybe more

#

but yeah current version is just a little cooked

steel horizon
#

fuggit just make it 1 second lol

#

better than pre 11.05 at least

warm aspen
#

we kinda dont wanna live in perma dance tho

#

it's honestly pretty awkward

#

obviously the easy solution is just static 30 sec dance and 30 sec sectech

steel horizon
#

Yeah if it was 1 second then we would be holding symbols instead

lilac stag
#

we don’t need to be always dancing. Makes everything worse, and the cdr in keys / aoe vs st is one of the pain points

warm aspen
#

with the "building to 2 stack" core mechanic of the spec

lilac stag
#

it’s improved this go around

warm aspen
#

i think cdr makes more sense for a spec that's all about firing everything on cooldown

lilac stag
#

and playing around sod/sectech is a nice change

warm aspen
#

like law

#

or df s1's sub

#

and yeh current version is nice, just the last little hitch to sort out

#

is actually gonna require drastic changes

lilac stag
#

I’m more concerned about maybe cdr adjustments come 11.1 when tier changes

lucid jackal
#

Sub feels perfect rn

steel horizon
#

Man all i want rn is the RS bug fix. Shit drives me nuts

#

That would be enough for me lool

lilac stag
#

rs is pain

steel horizon
#

So many wasted generators

lilac stag
#

Dropping premed & rs and taking crit felt way better

steel horizon
#

I heckin love premed lol

warm aspen
#

yup same

warm aspen
lilac stag
#

Rs just that big of an annoyance.

lucid jackal
#

Dropped a fucking bomb on queen todayu

lilac stag
#

But no idea what replaces tier so just have to wait and see

warm aspen
#

and wouldn't trickster still want to sectech first just to a coup in dance

lilac stag
#

Dance feels good right now because Evis claps

warm aspen
#

i mean dance feels good in general compared to doing half of ur prot pali's dps out of cds

#

and it's not like blizz is gonna let tier set be unusably bad, they already showed that with OL

lilac stag
#

Out of cds should be meh.

warm aspen
#

oh yeah ofc

lilac stag
#

but the balancing act that is dance uptime vs bigger finishers is where the struggle tends to happen.

#

I’ll take a dry symbols to keep dance feeling good

spark tusk
warm aspen
#

the logic of designing

#

since cdr is kinda weird for a spec that's about lining up cds

lilac stag
#

Fix deathstalker without trashing trickster gameplay.

#

That should be the design challenge

warm aspen
#

LUL deathstalker is just cooked im afraid

#

i SWEAR, the whole "mark one target" and "only 7 cp" thing

#

feels like something straight out of vanilla wow

lilac stag
#

im just glad tricky spec is fun. Thats been missing for too long.

lucid jackal
warm aspen
#

armin was telling me abou the beta/prepatch fiasco i missed

#

but this is such a step up from bfa lmao

lilac stag
#

this is a close second to dfa for me

warm aspen
#

i will say though, dragonflight season 1 was the only time the cdr on dance REALLY made sense

lilac stag
#

It’s chill and rewarding for paying attention to cds

warm aspen
#

that whole "send on cd" gameplay

when mandate and transmitter somewhat line up around 4:30 we just sit on mandate until after the flag window right

That'd be why

plucky sphinx
#

Is there a guide anywhere? I'm not sure where I'm screwing it up. Or you have another suggestion for figuring out which gear is an upgrade?

vale pine
#

raidbots

#

you download the simcraft addon

#

then type /simc in game

#

then paste the text in top gear

#

select options

#

and click the button to compare gear

plucky sphinx
#

Thanks ill do that, I've been having trouble with raidbots because I'm missing some slots still. And they say it doesn't work as well at a lower level? Staying at lvl 19

vale pine
#

if you have the option to choose, can take master/vers over other stats

Good morning, is dslice accurate for DPS or its just used to sim gear? Since i get around the same DPS in Dslice for assa and sub

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

and if you're not on a raid team you (almost) never want to pick a hero track item over a myth track one

fair anchor
#

Hello, out of curiosity, how long would you hold on dance if you have sectec ready and a mech is coming that having dance for would be good ?

half comet
#

i sthe pin still accurate? deathstalker and trickster are similar in ST?

lucid jackal
#

FIGHT BACK

fair anchor
#

Since à lot of sectec cdr comes from the dance window, i Wonder how long holding dance/sectec can be acceptable

alpine wraith
#

yes but deathstalker has more annoying things

#

and you can get parried

#

that makes people AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAaAAA

vale pine
#

trickster applies the no parry benefits to the entire raid

#

🙈

tribal blade
#

trickster is more fun to play

#

DS makes me want to claw my eyes out

half comet
#

are people using sod before pull now?

tribal blade
#

yeah

#

i still need a WA for that, i keep forgetting to make one

half comet
#

is that in the wowhead

tribal blade
#

not sure if anyone has made one for it

#

i tried searching "symbols prepull" on wago.io but there's nothing

half comet
#

i see the rotation is updated but unless im blind i dont see symbols pre pull there either

tribal blade
#

not sure

alpine wraith
#

i have the devlin one standalone

tribal blade
#

iirc you just wanna symbols ~17 seconds before the actual pull

alpine wraith
#

if i dont see the charger thingy i do it usually

tribal blade
#

or something like that

alpine wraith
#

you can symbols as you revive

#

np but there is extra value 20-17 secs because of rotten

#

but that one is super minor

tribal blade
#

i know how to do one for when ready check goes out, but how do you make one that'll remind you when you get ressed?

#

is it a condition

alpine wraith
#

nono i hav eno reminder

#

just a visual indicator if it is up

tribal blade
#

ah gotcha

half comet
#

does trickster and deathstalker do the same thing now

#

double dance with cds

#

dance symbols

#

dance symbols

#

naked symbols

#

back into cds

alpine wraith
#

after 1:30 you skip the dance symbols after cds

#

and only do a sec tech alone

#

then sec tech again when CB is up and it comes up almost at the same time

half comet
alpine wraith
#

after you end 1:30 cds you get sec tech back but you wont have symbols or dance

#

so you send that one dry as f

#

then it comes back if you have good uptime for when CB comes back off cd

#

if you see cb is like 10 secs away dont use it tho

light imp
#

During CD roation for second dance, are we sending Symbols as soon as the first ends and supercharing plain evicerates, or is it better to hold and wait till Sec tec has ~10 seconds left and super charge sec tec again during the cooldown window

lucid jackal
#

I have some maybe mega mind sub questions

#

Any sub megaminds in chat

alpine wraith
#

sure ask

alpine wraith
#

usually you do want to charge sec tech

#

now that we have several charges we dont need to insta send it on pandemic

#

so you can hold it a bit longer

#

so charging sec tech/coup is good

light imp
#

figured as much, but figured i'd ask

lucid jackal
# alpine wraith sure ask

- If dance is on cooldown for 5 secondsand symbols and sectec are up do you send sectec and then dance or just fully hold the dance
Or just hold the symbols
- Also when it comes to coup, we still want to prio Coup with fazed on the targert in ur dances right
- And for supercharger in your double dances, how useful is it to delay the sectec all the way until the end to supercharge sectec
That's what I've been doing as it feels intuitive, but unsure if pandemic is more valuable. Probably not with the charge system but wanna double check

alpine wraith
#

dont do first one you are losing DM

#

yea you always want to coup with fazed flawless form stacks are big

#

the last one just above

#

we can still pandemic but now as we have more than 1 stack you can delay SoD to charge coup or sec tech or both

lucid jackal
#

am I suppose to play around flawless form

#

wut

alpine wraith
#

nah it just stacks

#

only in aoe/cleave you care about it

#

so you know if you need to backstab or storm

lucid jackal
#

Sure got it

#

If you sod for pandemic, you dont supercahrger sectec

#

my question is pandemic more valuable or is supercharger hitting sectec more important

sly shore
#

if you coup with fazed active it's +5 flawless form stacks

#

so it's important to do it with fazed

#

it's why you sectech first in dance if fazed isn't active

rain smelt
light imp
lucid jackal
#

wdyd

sly shore
#

you just send coup now

#

but if you can go into dance

#

or are going to dance

#

you pay attention to fazed

Feelsbad. Our guild are currently stuck on M Ovinax. Filling the weekly vault with 2 slots of mythic gear from first 4 bosses only allowing 1 spot to be HC Transmitter is just.. Meh. Can't really be excited for weekly vault knowing chances for my Transmitter are close to non-existent.

#

pvp sub amazing, pve, arcane rotations

vale pine
#

pvp is just a diffrent mindset

#

you can completely ignroe a lot of optimizations you would do in pve

#

because you optimize for burst

#

i haven't played pvp too active so if i state something incorrect i am happy to be corrected

#

but the problem of pvp is healing, so the main goal is to:

  • surprise enemeis with burst so that the healer can't keep up with (usually unlikely, healers have many tools to deal with it)
  • Setup cc chains to actively kill a target while keeping the healer impact as low as possible
  • Play long enough for dampaning to be high enough to even make one of the above work
#

for pve you optimize differently:

  • Boss uptime because it is one of the most important metrics for dps
  • Cooldown efficiency to get as many casts as possible without losing damage elsewhere
  • Boss mechanics, and this means:
    • Adjusting cooldowns to boss timings if needed
    • Learn patterns of fights to plan out cooldown rotations.
#

PvE has a more static enviroment, so you over time can optimize the handling of cooldowns and boss mechanics and play against the metric of DPS.

#

PvP is a more reactional enviroment you play against the healers mana bar, and abuse mistakes to create situations or preasure. Optimizing for burst is more relevant than trying to optimally use abilities for the entire match. There is also no metric you can easy see mistakes.

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

might as well ditch sin and play sub

btw what kush said about sub double dipping on vers when we activate blades

#

is that true?

that is a TW bug thing

If you were given the option for Myth track gear or a HC transmitter would most people go for transmitter?

#

Would u craft the engi head with mastery and cr if u mostly just play m+ as sub now?

alpine wraith

depends on which M track item it is

if you can upgrade and already have normal transmitter you could get more from it

we dont have cr anymore

you use pot tinker

The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.

one of my guildie's has an alt rogue, and he whispered me asking "hey i have myth track boots with avoidance and hero track contract in my vault, i should take the trinket right because i already crafted embel boots"

#

and i was like "NO NEGATIVE TAKE THE BOOTS"

#

just recraft your embel later and sit on the boots

i saved that guy from making a gigantic mistake

#

Great, thanks

tribal blade
#

but you really don't want to macro it to anything to be real

#

because you can cast it and actually not activate it for some time

#

so it means you can precast it before all your cds, and then activate it right as you go into cds

#

some people even precast it before pulling a boss

#

(not sub though, we precast before cds)

#

if you macro it to your cds you may have the situation where you have to run out of melee or jump 3 times to activate it

#

as your cds are going, and it's super awkward

short radish
#

i still think macro it to flag

#

because theres enough delay between flag and needing activating

#

saves a bind

^ that's my basic bitch "i don't wanna think about anything" trinket combo btw 😉

tribal blade
#

i have a 13 mists and i'm gonna run it as sub

sly shore
#

it's probably better to do up to first boss as sub, then as assa

#

but sub isn't actually bad in that dungeon for sure

tribal blade
#

i feel like it'll be fine for the whole dungeon

#

i ran 2 10 mists today as sub and it felt pretty good

sly shore
#

sub deals with the pulls after the 2nd boss better

#

will i get transmitter this week so i can fulltime embrace sub again ?

sly shore

it felt ok

the last boss is also nice as sub

sub probably nice in an organised group too

#

cos you know what pulls are coming and can send cd's more freely

tribal blade
#

it's actually easier to send cds as sub because you have 1.5 mins instead of 2 mins

#

a bit more frequent

#

but i

#

yeah I have fomo in dungeons as assa

tribal blade
#

i'm also enjoying it more, i really dislike playing DS as a whole

#

and sin plays only DS

bright solstice
#

1,5 instead of 2 really does make a difference

tribal blade
#

yeah you need to be sin if you want to get invites

#

i've done the non fotm thing of playing sub when it was bad in M+

#

and it's miserable

bright solstice
#

I still probably wouldnt play sub

sly shore
#

the main thing about sub too

#

is less caring about stealth

it's much nicer for weeklies with pugs tbh

!symbols

wicked joltBOT
#

How to Use Symbols of Death:
Symbols of Death is used with 3 or less seconds of the Symbols of Death buff remaining or if the buff is not up.
Watch your Shadow Dance cooldown before using Symbols of Death. If Shadow Dance is not on cooldown or if the remaining cooldown is lower than 10 seconds it is usually better to delay the Symbols of Death cast till after Shadow Dance.

#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns.
The following macros are an exception:yaml /cast Cold Blood /cast Secret Technique

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

Do you know how it happened

that can happen

now quite a bit

you lose casts and its weak

quite a bit less strong than transmitter

i'd still take that skardyn;s

Or you take transmitter for both

Take both when the vault isn’t looking

If so, I haven’t seen it once either, on any chars both pug runs and guild runs

I just bought transmitter in HC second week idk. 300 k and the guy sold it to me 😂 same with the other trinket from nexus princess on HC. I think it was 250k. And no more worries or anger for the rest of the season

Can’t buy hc one if it’s not dropping ig

I finally got contract this week. Think it’s our last reclear.

we’re not assa, but we v good

I always had faith. Please ignore the strange other icon on my raider.io and warcraft logs page. I don't know how it got there.

Assa and Sub both being really good is lovely to see, though

#

I'm not sure how outlaw is. But I hope they're having a nice time too.

haughty mural
lilac stag
haughty mural

also a reason i stayed assa till 11.0.5 since i got skardyns and myth track egg so fast

#

but i can't anymore

lilac stag
#

yea I remember you getting assa lit

haughty mural
#

atleast i got hc mandate 2ez

lilac stag
#

Reclearing as sub was nice. Assa still seems tuned crazy high, but didn’t feel like I was not holding my own

vale pine
#

transmitter is quite big for sub

haughty mural
#

tbh the diff in my last reclear as sub was huge

#

but i was bit rusty AND i have kinda optimal assa gear

lilac stag
#

Our rash reclear was a cluster with new people. Ended up 2nd overall just behind our lock

#

RS is maddening

haughty mural
#

it really is

#

since 10.2

#

(:

for the love of all that is rogue Realz please fix it.

he will

When it gets deleted?

he is back

haughty mural
lilac stag
#

I think that it is quite possibly the most annoying bug we have

haughty mural
#

i 100% agree

lilac stag
#

idk if anything triggers me more

haughty mural
#

the difference is so huge

#

playing with RS and without

#

atleast it feels really huge

lilac stag
#

I dropped it and premed, for sht and crit and life was instantly better.

vale pine
#

we have many annoying bugs

haughty mural
#

ye i also tried that

lilac stag
#

idk if I really want to drop premed

haughty mural
#

though i like premed right now (not that it makes vanish offense cd again)

vale pine
#
  • delayed combo points from the RS bug
  • Coup de grace charge or randomly not working
  • vanish sometimes not allowing you to use shadowstrike
lilac stag
#

have to mess on dummies more

alpine wraith
#

premed is quite good

lilac stag
#

the crit also seems quite good in actual play

#

so idk

alpine wraith
#

helps us get more value for blades but improv sht and PE is fine too

haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

yea you need to alt f4

#

mid fight to fix it

lilac stag
#

yeah that came back last night

alpine wraith
#

wow pay2win

#

i actually have a video where it happens mid key ahaha

lilac stag
#

I think coup DCd me as well

alpine wraith
#

kinda funny

haughty mural
#

didnt have the amusement of it yet

lilac stag
#

It charged me and insta dc

haughty mural
#

thats why i was so surprised

lilac stag
#

RS is a vibe killer

alpine wraith
#

does not happen that often but when it happens it is annoying

#

yea RS coup etc anything that krangles how we can proc shadowcraft or extra cps

#

is a bit annoying

#

worse is they can prov even 0,5 to 0.7 secs later

haughty mural
#

Without RS, spreading is kinda no bueno

#

So pick your poison

#

guys i want to switch to sub on last boss of NW , do i need to go trickster or DS ?

alpine wraith
#

trickster is better

#

and usually you also want to be sub for stitchflesh

oak ice
#

i see, gonna check the guide right now, is trickster harder than DS ? or not much of a diff ?

#

btw does stats makes a lot of diff or ? cause i got a lot of crit , not sure if sub wants too much crit :3

alpine wraith
#

stats are weighted towards vers and mastery but crit and haste are not horrible anyway

#

haughty mural
#

i really need to try to storm first builder in dance more

hazy breach
#

You should not

haughty mural
#

didnt someone said yesterday it could be a gain because of FW

#

maybe i missunderstood

hazy breach
#

Storm consumes two stacks of rotten on cast (its a bug)

alpine wraith
#

not in dance you would not storm as trickster

#

maybe after consuming rotten if you can fill all cps

#

otherwise it seem krangled unless it is a first dance

#

where you can benefit more from the extra DM stacks on more globals but the gain would be so little

hazy breach
#

Yes having FW up on all targets means your nimble does 10% more, but youre losing a massive amount of damage by wasting rotten on storm that doesnt do damage instead of strike that trucks

vestal escarp
#

also you wanna spend your UBs after sectech asap

haughty mural
#

yea i meant rotten

#

typo

#

but good thing i didnt

alpine wraith
#

yea after spending rotten it could be fineish but the win would not be noticeable

haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

also yea with our lvl of crit

#

the chances of getting alot of FW is not that high anyway

haughty mural
#

in theory rotten would be a guaranteed crit but yea

#

not worth it

vestal escarp
#

on 2 targets?

haughty mural
#

no

vestal escarp
#

if it sucks up all stacks with one cast i guess the bug would guarantee a crit on the 2 first struck

alpine wraith
#

yea rotten is bugged with storm

#

only works once per target

#

so you would get 2 crits in a pack kekw

vestal escarp
hazy breach
#

Theyve fixed that, it does work on all the hits now

#

But it still consumes 2 charges

vestal escarp
#

because yes

#

"and stay dead" -blizzard to shuriken storm

the story of our life

so now maybe a dps win a first dance spending second charge of rotten

vestal escarp
#

dubious interactions

alpine wraith
#

to get all FW hmmmmmmmmm+

#

time to waste more time

rain smelt
#

Do we never storm in AOE then? Always backstab/shadowstrike?

vestal escarp
#

outside dance for cp

#

unless you wanna proc ub

haughty mural
#

outside of dance if flawless is up

#

Ah cool

#

So basically strike > storm > backstab

not flawless - whatever thing ub procs

Hi, im new to sub rogue, and i keep getting these blue combo points when i use Symbols of Death, what do they represent?

vale pine

supercharger

#

each combo point is a stack of it

#

(your next finisher gets +3 cp added to the cast)

#

(and you lose one stack)

hollow maple
#

Ok, thanks! Does this mean that i should expend combo finishers with two less points, or does it scale as if i used 10 combo points

spark tusk

It scales and lets you go higher than cap

you don't need to really react to them

just play normally and benefit from mroe damage

then cds 2 dances with 2 sod

then 1 dance with SoD on eggs

flag ?

you flag every 1:30 and hold sometimes when an egg thingy is close

Yes, they are, I assume.

#

Limited time early 2015. With new rewards.

#

..2025, even.

#

I would imagine it's returning to let people get stuff again. And then I bet next time it comes back it's a fresh thing. Maybe they wanna test some changes.

#

Good time for it to come in between the end of 11.0 and 11.1

#

Stuff to do in the downtime periord, ye?

#

I'd really like it if they made it a permenant mode. Have it run for 4 - 6 months. Then a new map and new 'season'. (And still retain the original rewards so no FOMO, just play when you want)

I think they would need to improve on it

problem is theyre not quality content

like the anniversery stuff is uh sus

  • the zone looks boring
  • plunderstorm is potentially 1:1 the same
  • the ring is likely very similar to anulet
  • they mentioned that all of the mounts you get are not new content, just unused one.

Stuff sometimes doesn't get used. It's cool to see it finally be getting use.

i don't think its a negative

keen dome
#

That's fair

#

Although I'd argue if they are unused in the game anywhere, they are new content, no?

vale pine

but it fits into the perception of rushed content

yea it is a bug but a good one

also yea connectivity has been krangled

vale pine
#

can see it as bug or feature

#

I'd seen some of those issues over the last two weeks, yeah. It's very frustrating to see that there is even less QA (or time to respond to QA) than normal. Or, that's what it seems anyay.

alpine wraith
#

they likely run a very strict prio with their rushed timeframe

vale pine
#

it is common for blizz to have mistakes with spell data or flags

alpine wraith

so anything not flagged high prio is left a bit to the wayside
