if u get garbage in vault u craft a spark piece for 90 and u still get upgrade

spark tusk
#

I ignore bis gear and just take items that sim better

warm aspen
#

i tend to use the green names in here for any info i want

#

these guys are the fking goats

#

not just for our class but kinda the game in general lol

unkempt trench
#

k well imma ask that green name guy above

#

@spark tusk is it still mastery > vers >>> crit >>>>>>>> haste atm?

warm aspen
#

hearing about other class APL writers fucking their sims on purpose to get buffs, meanwhile green names in here and an anime profile guy Fuu legit just run a full college course on rogues

#

absolute goats

wind canopy
#

I wouldn't suggest pinging people like that to ask questions like that.

#

!stats

wicked joltBOT
#

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

spark tusk
#

Well at the very least I was already here

warm aspen
spark tusk
#

but yeah, use sims

warm aspen
#

i meant to talk to green name senpais when they show up lol

unkempt trench
#

imma newbie to sim, i only sim my character, if i want to change the weapons and ilvl i need SimC?

warm aspen
#

jsut in top gear

#

click everything clickable tbh

#

that's how we all learn i think

wicked joltBOT

Guide to Simming yourself: https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights

For more accurate results you should always sim yourself using Top Gear for gear you already have in your bags
or Droptimizer to see which content drops the biggest upgrade for you. Do not use Stat Weights sims to evaluate gear.

warm aspen
#

oh but also, yeah i SWEAR stat weight is so depressing now

spark tusk
warm aspen
#

it used to be that u can sim stuff and balance ur gems/gears for ur own perfect stats

#

now im at 1% haste and it's still half the value of every other stat.

#

kinda crazy how bad it is

spark tusk
#

Don't use stat weights

warm aspen
#

yeh just sim normally at this point

#

but even then gears with haste on them still dont win lol

#

fake stat

#

oh actually tho

#

i wonder if we'll still get ritual knife next tier lol

unkempt trench
#

So my raidbot looks like this atm, do I have to install that SimulationCraft?

warm aspen
#

the addon will give u like

#

a whole postgraduate disseration to copy/paste ingame

#

u copy that over and start simming

unkempt trench
#

kk going to try that out

silent condor
#

Is simming Dslice maintained and safe to use ?

wind canopy
#

For rogues, yes

wispy bolt
#

sinful sluice
#

in obinax do we just spam evis on boss?

#

or do we black powder when adds are up

alpine wraith
#

evis on boss

sinful sluice
#

oki

honest scarab
#

!tricks

wicked joltBOT
#

Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
tribal blade
#

and once you have enough add damage you want as much boss dam as possible

#

basically warriors and dks just solo the adds

alpine wraith
#

i find funny how dks are unholy n ow instead of frost to blast the adds

real pike
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT

#

Negative: Failing to time a +8 because nobody has their monitor on.
Positive: Getting the Dawnbreaker trinket as a karmic reward.

sinful sluice
#

I was thinking of taking shuriken tornado on obinax as well

tribal blade
#

i just realized why i'm having such a hard time clicking stuff in delves

#

they made the clickable area to target brann stupidly big

#

and he'll stand on top of you as you try to click stuff

#

and everything won't be clickable because the game assumes you're trying to target brann

keen dome
#

He's like a real boy

tribal blade
#

this is so stupid

#

this is legit driving me insane

keen dome
#

Leaves on the first death. Constantly gives useless advice. Stands in the worst spot. Shouts about AoE while standing in AoE. Blocks picking up items. Does no damage.

#

Blizzard should be commended for the most lifelike NPC in gaming but also yes it's very annoying.

#

You know what'd be cool? If he picked up tiems / used objectives for you

tribal blade
#

yeah he is actually the most annoying npc in the game ever

#

also why can't he stand and tank like a man instead of kiting everything in random direcions when i tricks him

#

WHY BRANN

keen dome
#

Oh, also: his egg.

#

His fucking dinosaur egg.

tribal blade
#

everything

keen dome
#

Constantly putting the stupid egg down and trapping you in combat.

tribal blade
#

BRANN JUST PULLED AN ELITE I WAS WALKING AROUND

#

THANKS BRANN

vale pine
#

brann is such a buddy

#

making sure you don't get bored

keen dome
#

My favourite is when he uses his derage on a random mob I've not pulled.

tribal blade
#

i'm about to put a gun to my head

keen dome
#

And it causes him to then aoe it for some reason

#

I dunno why they didn't make him have a tank spec. He'd actually be really useful for us.

tribal blade
#

yeah he should have a tank spec

#

but i suppose it would just be too easy

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Haha

#

Expecting the S2 companion be like, Tank and Heal or something

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

best one is he escaping and resetting mobs

keen dome
#

Yeah.

#

One of the Delves in the 4th zone. Boss does the burrow spikes things. I vanished to do something and the boss aggro'd onto Brann who ran out of the room with it chasing him.

#

Frustrating but also funny

tribal blade
#

what a guy

vale pine
#

we will likely see massive changes to them in 11.1

#

at least thats how game development typically works

#

the system is so new that it should get a lot of attention and change

keen dome
#

yeah

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Right now we've got like. A load of them but they're all built around the S1 stuff / Brann. What happens in S2? We know we're getting a new season and companion. Assumably a new zone with probably 4 - 5 new delves. What happens to the prior lot? Do they get a refresh with new stories or..? It's going to be interesting.

bitter silo
#

what's the best opener to use for the most damage on subtlety

keen dome
#

I'm very interested to see how they evolve through TWW and into Midnight 'cos I think they're a good system at their core.

tribal blade
#

i think delves are fine in general

#

it's good solo content

keen dome
vale pine
#

the reward structure is flawed

keen dome
#

It is. I really hope we see them add Myth vualt to D11. I think it'd be a good aspirational content

vale pine
#

and they essentially just act as a "fill your vault" style content

keen dome
#

And also make some reall good trinkets fully viable long-term

vale pine
#

thast just good enough to not be completely ignored

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I think having them be another major pillar of WoW content is good. So D11 = Myth vault and GIlded crests. But also less grindy ideally. They're fine enough but they also suck a lot.

#

Balance wise I think they're okay now after the nonsense that happened.

#

But ideally you don't want them to become mandatory content for players to feel they NEED to do. But at the same time, they should be accessible loot content for eveyrone while rewarding the full spectrum.

#

You know how PvP gives you free weapons at 2500 conq? Something like that for Delves would be interesting. Esp as Weapons are often the most fiddly slot to gurantee.

#

But I suppose then it veers too heavily into "content you gotta do" territory

tribal blade
#

i think having the max level delves give you myth track pieces in the vault would make a lot of my guildies happy

#

the ones who absolutely hate M+

keen dome
#

Ye. It's another avenue and it opens up those trinkets whihc I think is important.

carmine portal
#

I main brewmaster and man, I'd fkn LOVE a myth track crit candle lol

tribal blade
#

you would basically be swapping out content that requires 5 players and can be very toxic to potentially solo content you can do whenever you want in your own time

keen dome
#

Yep. And it doesn't really change the loot cadence 'cos... lmao

#

16 weeks with ideal vault drops to just get Myth quality gear.

tribal blade
#

oh wait but it would be myth track delve items

keen dome
#
  • tier
tribal blade
#

issue is a lot of M+ gear is bis

keen dome
#

I think it'd be fine in 90% of circumstances.

#

Myth has trinkets, tier, weapons.

#

Sorry, Delves have.

tribal blade
#

then it would become the thing of having to do raid AND m+ AND delves

#

for max vault

keen dome
#

It would regardless for some people and I don't think you can avoid that.

#

But the positives, imo, outweigh the negatives. You don't have to do it, but some people will feel compelled.

#

That said the ultimate solution is just fixing the vault to not be a goddamn pain in the ass. Detemrinism!!!

tribal blade
#

yeah i feel like my RL would allow people to do delves for vault if that was the case

carmine portal
#

Biggest issue in WoW players rn. "Feeling compelled" vs "Having to do"

keen dome
#

Yeah, I think it's a pretty interesting and important discussion area.

carmine portal
#

Blizz could add the best system in the game and players will STILL complain about "I HAVE to do this wtf"

tribal blade
#

the way i see it this game has always had "mandatory content" you ahve to do if you want to be optimal

keen dome
#

Yep

tribal blade
#

when you take away that requirement the game becomes boring imo

keen dome
#

It's a balance.

carmine portal
#

Yes but If you want to be optimal you are agreeing to yourself that you will do whatever there is, that's on you saying "I WANT to be optimal" not "I HAVE to be optimal"

keen dome
#

Ideally you have multiple avenues to be optimal and I think Myth Delve track would really help that.

#

It also goes hand-in-hand with the gear mobility issue that TWW has created, imo

tribal blade
#

blizz has created an interesting situation where myth track items are way better than hero track

keen dome
#

Yep

#

Something that I think desperately needs resolving because it's creating an awkward bottleneck and resulting in Normal / Heroic groups struggling a lot more than they should be.

#

Which makes friction and isn't healthy for the game.

tribal blade
#

yeah you're kinda fucked with gear if you don't mythic raid

#

i see that issue in keys

keen dome
#

And then less people engaging with harder content which means less good groups and so on.

#

Simply adjusting Hero track to go to 626 on the Hero currency would solve it, imo.

bitter silo
#

thank you btw.

carmine portal
#

The main thing I've found with all my chars is getting to this weird 617 ish ilvl position where it feels like climbing a mountain to get upgrades

keen dome
#

Normal and Heroic would cease being identical in power. Myth would revert to 4/4 instead of 6/6, which'd fix the gilded grind a bit and you can return Myth crafted to 60 instead of 90 crests, etc.

carmine portal
#

Then I see some folk (who mythic raid_ at 630+ and it's like

#

That 13 ilvl jump

#

Is just

#

Insane

#

I've gone from 580 to nearly 610 in a day or two on my rogue and then it takes WEEKS to get to 620

keen dome
#

617 - 619 is super accessible, yeah. Then you hit a gigantic wall. Which becomes either pure RNG or just mind-numbing grind.

tribal blade
#

yeah i mythic raid so i'm at 631 ilvl atm

#

it's a big difference

keen dome
#

I'm 625 atm and don't. Probably 629 if I get off my ass and grind 400 gilded crests.

#

But it's not fun.

tribal blade
#

your gearing and crest spending is super scuffed as well if you don't have myth track pieces to upgrade

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

you end up sending upgrades on hero track

#

so in the long run you are taking WAY longer to uprade everything

keen dome
#

YEP

#

Absolutely sucks.

#

I've also had trash RNG on Myth gear.

#

Identical trinkets, identical shoulders.

tribal blade
#

it's a luxury to be able to only ever use gilded crests on myth track pieces

tribal blade
keen dome
#

It's also just so time consuming to do 8 10's

tribal blade
#

it is a lot of time investment

keen dome
#

I just cba. It's not worth the energy. I'll do 1.

tribal blade
#

they should probably change the numbers

#

to like 1-3-6

keen dome
#

yeah

tribal blade
#

or even 1-2-5

keen dome
#

Match it to the raid, honestly.

carmine portal
#

It's just a weird step, YES mythic gear should be hard(er) to get but progression should always be a slope of some kind

#

This feels like one step, two steps then like

keen dome
#

2-4-6

carmine portal
#

10 steps

keen dome
#

Yeah.

tribal blade
#

so one good thing is the first half of the raid is relatively easy to pug

keen dome
#

I really need to start doing that weekly.

tribal blade
#

i've seen casual players in my guild getting mythic sikran killed

#

the real difficulty of the raid doesn't start until ovinax

keen dome
#

I really want them to remove the Mythic ID system. It's absolutely dire for pugging.

tribal blade
#

the difficulty jump once you hit ovinax is kinda crazy

keen dome
#

I have to imagine it goes away sometime in TWW.

#

It's a dumb relic.

#

It also creates a toxic pug enviroment where you typically find groups only invite people with experience, because if you kill B1 but then struggle to kill B2, it's fubar for the week.

#

And then you run into situations where one or two bad players or players who don't care enough to make an effort, or even disconnects can completely ruin your vault and waste your time.

#

Let the content be hard and challenging, not the accessing it, imo.

tribal blade
#

iirc it has something to do with blizz not wanting people to do boosts for other guilds

keen dome
#

Which happen anyway as I understand it

gritty knot
#

I have a question because idk either I am too stupid to read the dwarf racial properly or not. But I realized in so many Dungeons that when I got a bleed debuff or sometimes disease too when I Press the racial nothing Happens. Nothing gets removed. Is that a Well known Bug? Is the tooltip wrong? Or whats going on there?

fallow nimbus
#

Would be so nice to clear like first 4 while progressing endboss

#

Also pugs could reinvite new ones instead of wasting the id of 19 people if like a tank leaves after 2nd boss

keen dome
#

Yeah, precisely.

#

I feel it's something that's coming in some form, although with the incredibly strange decision over cross-faction LFG queueing.. Who knows.

fallow nimbus
#

Mythic guilds are slowly getting fewer and fewer

#

Or let's say endboss killing guilds

keen dome
#

Yeah, CE guilds.

#

I'm not on a major raiding server, but it is one of the most populated. And we have quite a few Mythic guilds who do 3 - 5 bosses. I tihnk we have.. two who do CE? three?

fallow nimbus
#

With the faster content releases it will be even less

keen dome
#

We had more, but recruitment has apperently been impossible since cross-realm guidls became a thing. Anybody who wants to raid at that level joins better guilds elsewhere. And there's far less people incoming. but, I don't have practical experience at that level of recruitment so I can only go on what people've told me.

alpine wraith
#

i mean you just need to see how it is

#

we are like on court now

#

but that one already only has like 5xx to 6xx guilds on it

#

even less as they disband

keen dome
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

in the whoooole world

#

in s1

#

where the population is at its peak

#

and after some heavy nerfs to ovi nax and ky veza

#

and 2 stacks of the buff

keen dome
#

It's why I think the focus on Mythic raiding is entirely misplaced. By focus, I mean the gearing structure in TWW.

#

It's not good for the game, imo.

fallow nimbus
#

The 6/6 mythic was a mistake

keen dome
#

Very strong agree.

alpine wraith
#

i think it could be fine if the crafting one was 60 instead of 90

#

so people could craft better if they dont mythic raid but can still do +8

#

right now as a mythic raider i will have 2 sparks

#

not used because im still upgrading M gear

keen dome
#

Easily solved if you make 626 take hero crests, move Myth back to 4/4, etc.

#

It's smooth the whole incline out from a sheer cliff to a comfortable hill.

alpine wraith
#

yea that would be fine

#

i still have like 3 or 4 pieces at 619

#

to not waste gilded

fallow nimbus
#

That champion is 619 max and hc is also effective 619 without gilded crests is wierd

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Normal and Heroic cap at the same point. Myth being 20 iLevels on top of it.

supple verge
#

anyone got a good shadowcraft tracker?

alpine wraith

Do I really need to hold SB in the opener? Feels so wrong.

vale pine
#

you want to yes

#

we hold it to not waste premeditation

twilit phoenix
#

Did sub used to just send it together?

vale pine
#

but we didn't play premediation

#

now we do

twilit phoenix
#

i missed the boat!@

#

now I gotta learn with these separate cd situations

#

trial by fire bro

alpine wraith
#

it is not that diff you get used to it

#

then it just syncs well

vale pine
#

premed feels rly nice to play

alpine wraith
#

yea what does not feel good is when you forget dmg takes you out of vanish instantly

twilit phoenix
#

premed works with dance?

alpine wraith
#

so you vanish and then are like WAIT

#

and cant strike

idle aurora
#

So we mostly always just play trickster?

alpine wraith
#

yea

idle aurora
#

And from the all the YouTube guides the opening rotation has changed?

alpine wraith
#

apart from the opener only some logic has changed

#

but it makes more sense than with dust imo

vale pine
twilit phoenix

hachadino

you said vods this weekend

i'm waiting bro

alpine wraith

hmm i already did 2 bosses watching world finals on league rn

twilit phoenix

oh shit pog gonna watch them

thanks king

alpine wraith

np

twilit phoenix
#

bro has a sheet of wonders

#

incredible

vale pine
#

!up

alpine wraith
#

i did find a funny thing

#

if you play first dance mastery is a liitle bit better than usual

#

but for some reason depths is still better than radiance

#

i guess i will see after crafting engi helmet next week

warm aspen
#

not m+?

alpine wraith
#

uh yea radiant is better for m+

#

stats are better for more than 1 t

#

guess the problem about radiance in st is that it can proc a lot outside dances

#

and it loses lots of value

warm aspen
#

true

#

man being a flat damage spec is so op

#

they use use full value of radiance

paper mortar
#

anyone have some good macros for cds?

warm aspen
paper mortar
#

cool thanks

#

i need to like post the rotation on a note and paste it on my screen for reference. learning is hard

vale pine
#

potential macros:
secret techniques + cold blood (with a minor loss if you play trickster for macroing)
Shadow dance + Symbols of Death (you still need symbols on a 2nd key bind tho)
Can macro Shadow Blades to Secret techniques (you technically want to use it after the gcd, but people want to reudce button count)
Can macro Shadow dance + Tea (nothing bad about it)

turbid saddle
#

theres no spam protection on symbols right? can u get around this somehow?

#

prolly not

upper narwhal
#

Anyone else notice the bloodmallet sims are borked for Sub trinkets? Transmitter is one of the lowest lol

alpine wraith
#

yes someone makes us notice every day

#

bloodmallet does not have talents somehow

molten citrus
#

you might want to change it to reset=2 or whatever you prefer

#

sometimes i double symbols in 1 dance in pvp so i set it low

turbid saddle
#

OK SAVED actually

#

yeah 1 is enough

turbid saddle
#

ty king

steel spindle
#

do we go deathstalker again for ST yet

molten citrus
#

np

lunar bluff
#

could you also do like, vanish + trinket?

steel spindle
#

or just stay trickster

vale pine
#

oh one more

#

you can do flagellation + transmitter

#

i use that one

#

too lazy to have a extra bind for the trinket

grizzled jungle
#

anyone had a bug where on last boss in nw while playing sub the add walks to the wall ,evades and teleports?

steel spindle
#

How do people get 1.6mil in dungeons with the same gear as me? I can't get past 1.25mil most the time, I'm using my cooldowns pretty good I think so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

grizzled jungle
#

without using vanish evasion dance or w/e only backstabk evis

steel spindle
#

I save SoD 30sec before blades and try to have 2 charges of each

#

and try to save before boss by a pull or two

alpine wraith
#

best thing you can have is good teammates

#

same dungeon i can go from 1.4m to 2.1m

grizzled jungle
#

ah so its i have tricks up?

#

i can just cancel it then

alpine wraith
#

just cancel it

grizzled jungle
#

ah ty!

#

finally xd

steel spindle
alpine wraith
#

ahaha yea teammates can make things hard

#

in dawnbreaker i think i usually do 1.6m or so

steel spindle
#

how do you even get 1.6mil average. How am I not using my SoD + SD right?

alpine wraith
#

unless they troll me

steel spindle
#

It just confuses me a lot.

alpine wraith
#

no idea tbh maybe sometimes you used cds and mobs died too soon

steel spindle
#

I make sure not to do that though. I think i do pretty good with that as much as average people.

lucid jackal
#

There is no way to give you an answer with the information given

vale pine
#

if you perform well relative to others in your key, you likely doing things correct

alpine wraith
#

yea best mists i had with like 2.1 mil i got gapped by enha and dh

lucid jackal
#

Mists weekly

alpine wraith
#

they did 2.7 and 3m

#

ingra died in 9 secs

#

i did 1 sec tech into him before he vaporizedf

#

also damn guy that is almost dream comp

#

all the good buffs

keen dome
steel spindle
#

idk how :0

alpine wraith
#

guy big blaster

steel spindle
#

like do I have to record myself

alpine wraith
#

also that comp is so good for sub party buffs

fierce cedar
#

how do you use shuriken tornado effectively lol

alpine wraith
#

you use it outside of cds to get some cdr

#

or before cds to get ruptures up

#

now that flag lasts 24 secs and even with first dance you only have 20 secs of dance

#

you can just flag tornado rupture rupture rupture dance SoD sec tech etc

fierce cedar
#

ah ok

alpine wraith
#

but most of us just dont play tornado

#

annoying ass button kek

fierce cedar
#

yeah i hate it

steel spindle
#

i refuse to play it lol.

fierce cedar
#

fair

lunar bluff
lucid jackal
#

This spec isnt about shd and sod anymore

#

its a spec about sod and sectec

#

💯

vale pine
#

you could say its about secret

lunar bluff
#

let me go int a weekly key and see if u right

vestal escarp
vale pine
#

you align your cooldowns around secret technique or major cooldowns

#

so in essence

#

want to have 2x symbols, 2x secret, 2x dance every flag/blades

#

and outside of this optimize for secret technique

#

so you use symbols always if you can use secret techniques as a finisher for one of the supercharger stacks

#

and line dance up to it

lunar bluff
#

and you still only want to sectec in dance ye?

#

i dont know why you wouldnt

vale pine
#

but it can happen that you do a blank symbols with secret

lunar bluff
#

interesting

vale pine
#

this does not happen much

#

but

#

it is possible closer to flag/blades comming up again

lunar bluff
#

what are the conditons for that to happen? like sectec/symobls up and dance how much time left on cd?

vale pine
#

because you want to get this

lunar bluff
#

must learn the sub ways again

#

CP resets seem SO laggy

vale pine
#

it can be but there is a bug to it

lunar bluff
#

does m+ prefer more mastery, while ST is more vers?

warm aspen
lunar bluff
#

ya boy got too much crit

warm aspen
#

i pretty much only have crit and haste from tier, and the sims are still telling me to make everything versa mast

#

the single crit neck that i have? it apparent has to go

lucid jackal
#

Any weakaura wizards

#

How would I make it so FTD only shows out of combat, in dungeons

#

or raid ofc

#

I was testing in hallows end

#

and its not working

alpine wraith
#

first dance has 2 buffs

lucid jackal
alpine wraith
#

one where it is charging and the other when it is up

#

have to do it for both

lucid jackal
#

No it doesnt

#

Oh U mean the actual buff that ticks up

#

well I mean it works for example look

#

I have my weakaura package only show in combat for example

#

This is with all the load conditions turned off that I just sent

warm aspen
#

how tf is bro 6.3 million hp lmao, raid buff?

lucid jackal
alpine wraith
#

the first dance

vale pine
lucid jackal
#

LOL

lunar bluff
#

hm that WA shouldnt be too hard to make, you want it to show when out of combat, basically in encounters/dungeons

lucid jackal
# lucid jackal

Well yeah but for example, hallows end didn't work with these checked

warm aspen
# lucid jackal

daaaaang lol meanwhile i been hardstuck like 627~628 for like 3 weeks now

it is very good

keen dome
warm aspen

It should just be a dungeon, but it wouldn't be the first time it's classified really strangely for a one-time event thing.

Belt came with a socket too okayge

#

Damn, nice.

lucid jackal
#

Big thing I'm missing is just transmitter and contract/mandate

#

Technically queen ring too on mythic but I have heroic and soon we will be replacing it with annulet

warm aspen

#

i swear m+ is so sadge now

spark tusk
#

I don't know if that's the case, but I've seen so many buggy things in this patch

#

that it wouldn't surprise me at all

keen dome
#

Ye, same.

spark tusk
#

You can specifically exclude zones by ID as well if there's an outlier

#

I just have my TFD always showing even in town, but IIRC your pack is set to completely hide out of combat

lucid jackal
#

It is, but I have a few things that track out of combat

#

Like poisons, like TFD, like darkest night

spark tusk
#

What is hallows end? Is it actually a zone or is it the instance when queuing for headless horseman? I'm not familiar

fierce minnow
#

nimble flurry still bugged to deal less dmg?

vale pine
#

no

#

but you shouldn't test it in the new zone

#

best is to use og/sw target dummies

Yo, what thinking about starting a new main.. i am going between Survival and Subletly.. anyone here that plays both that got some ups and downs for both speccs? ❤️

spark tusk
vale pine
#

You want to know the downsides or the upsides of subtlety?

vale pine
#

Upside:

  • Satisfying Burst damage
  • A lot of dynamic in the rotation
  • Good mobility
  • Fun to play
    Downside:
  • Steep learning curve
  • Punishing for mistakes
  • Playball to tuning
  • Has a lot of bugs (tho thats probably most classes in tww)
tight bison
#

I really like the playstyle, only problem I have is the downtime.. I don’t really fancy downtime speccs.. tho when u have energy, sub is AMAZING to play. Is the energy starve a gear issue? Or just how the spec is atm? Cos in Shadowlands it felt quicker than now

vale pine
#

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

vale pine
#

the spec is designed for low lows and high highs

#

if you don't like lows, you won't be happy on the spec

tight bison
#

Aye aye! 🙂

vale pine
#

shadowlands especially season 3/4

#

had one of the most boring gameplay iterations of the spec

tight bison
#

And I really enjoy playing Off Meta speccs, and usually sub and Surv are off meta compared to the other class speccs

vale pine
#

you spammed all cooldowns most of the time

tight bison
#

True. How is sub in keys then? Is it viable? It on the low side

vale pine
#

it was rly bad before 11.0.5

#

its now good, but its not one of the OP specs

#

some specs this patch deal absurd damage in aoe, subtlety can't compete with that

#

if thats what you look for tho

tight bison
#

Do we shine on st or Aoe?

vale pine
#

assassaination is currently one of the op aoe specs

#

single target and burst damage are the 2 things we do rly good

#

cleave damage is also good

tight bison
#

I am looking for a specc that

  1. Has a high skill ceiling
  2. Bursty
  3. Off Meta usually
  4. Few players
vale pine
#

thats subtlety

#

all of it

#

literally least played dps spec in game

tight bison
#

is it usuallu the least played specc?

vale pine
#

don't think you can't be more "non meta"

vale pine
#

it is now for 3 seasons

tight bison
#

hmm, tempting

#

xD

vale pine
#

but it depends on tuning

tight bison
#

ye i played it on Mythic Nymue prog

lilac stag
tight bison
#

and it was INSANE

vale pine
#

what is good on rogue always depends on the other 2 specs

tight bison
#

@lilac stag U played both i heard. What do you have most fun with in keys and raid? 😄

vale pine
#

and if e.g. assassiantion gets heavy nerfed

#

like in DF

#

subtlety can become the rogue meta pick

tight bison
#

ye thats the thing with Hunters.. Usually people dont choose Surv, even if its the strongest specc

lilac stag
#

Sub is good right now play wise. Still too many bugs and who the fuck knows where we are with new tier set and not knowing if there will be a 90 second agil trinket.

#

SV tree is better build and designed.

#

You just need to deal with why not range bruh?

vale pine
tight bison
#

ye

jolly salmon
#

I keep swapping between all the rogue specs right now; everything feels fun and I can't choose 😂

warm aspen
#

i'm still a bit miffed that blades don't work with sectech lol

#

those are like, 2 of the biggest things in our kit

#

and then RS, yeah...

vale pine
#

we have a lot of small annoying things

#

but i think thats every spec in TWW

#

hero talents are a breeding space for bugs, so each class has plenty

warm aspen
#

k

#

hero talents = the viego of WoW

#

got it

vale pine
#

they introduced a lot of problems

for a system thats so small

I was scared for a sec

cedar rock
#

so only inside of SD do you still spam shadowstrike for aoe situations but outside of it you use shrikun storm for combo build up?

charred sandal
spark tusk
#

Like it is the only thing you can do with combo points when you don't have a mob to attack and still gain benefit

#

I still instinctively push my snd bind after combat with CP left over when I know there's a long travel time or just idling to clear my combo points

#

even though the bind does nothing now

#

It was just a habitual way for me to clear my combo points in the past

still trellis
#

i usually just open my spell book at that point dracthyr_kek

spark tusk
#

My bind is still free for it so I should probably just return it, I put tornado there but I don't like tornado and don't think I'll even use it in keys

#

so no harm to leave it there, as long as I don't have to add my SnD WA back into my pack when I'm not thinking of doing

is there a way to go around putting trick on brann and boss just resets after shadowstrikin

not because it is not good

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

It’s not great, but not horrible.

how much versa i must have?

theres no stat requirements

so u acn just milk it

yea hit ingra with cds

awesome sounds good

alpine wraith

then when he puts shield tree guy

playing mandate is good too but if they make it go to 1:30 it is also fine

usually enh + sub + whatever is enough to almost 1 phase it

it legit doesnt matter ngl

how much black powder should i be using

are you playing trickster?

or is the aoe all sec techs and flurry

Black powder is your aoe fillter when you don't have flurry up

which is very rare

ok yea thought so

Or on extremly large pulls

at 12+ mobs

@pliant topaz Oh no

#

Some keen eyed enhancement in my group sniffed out my swappero

pliant topaz

theyre getting so sneaky lately... we must use a new strategy

id like to call it, gaslighting

#

where we tell them subs better for x,y,z and bring up some random nonsense

hazy breach
#

The guys i usually play with have seen the light, but pugs are not so easily convinced

spark tusk
#

tell them details is bugged

#

there's a new post from details out that they're working on

but it shows assa as sub

Once the key has started theyre stuck, then its fine

Start the key, be like "I'm in raid talents, shit" then swap

#

60% of the time works every time

I especially enjoy not being a complete ⚓ on bosses

After playing some sub keys whenever i play assa bosses are just pure despair

that look reasonable in terms of damage breakdown proportions?

We'd be eating so good

livid minnow

#

thx

livid minnow
#

Maybe apply Rupture a bit more in AOE packs that last a bit long (meaning your group doesn't have much CDs up)

supple verge
#

right on, i didnt play RS because i heard it was bugged so i didnt have a ton of rupture dmg

livid minnow
#

yeah that's fair, its situational anyway

supple verge

maybe i should just play it and tornado anyway

RS is absolutely worth playing anyway

@hazy breach it's deffo competitive from the mists 10 I just did, still feels like if you ever have any downtime it suffers a ton

Wdym by downtime

my dmg breakdown is suspect tho

tribal blade
#

attempted 15 DB and this was the damage before 2 wipes before 2nd boss

vagrant fulcrum
pliant topaz
vagrant fulcrum
#

was 1.15 on it, was expecting like 1.3 if the positioning wasn;'t dogshit

tribal blade
vagrant fulcrum
#

i think flurry aught to be a lot higher for me

pliant topaz
#

hes a good player

#

yea

vagrant fulcrum
#

this was 1.8 overall in a mists 10

#

still a bit lower than what I pull as sin but its probably skill issue

tribal blade
#

we wanted go get him in disc but he said language barrier

#

and there was some confusion about where we were going after mini boss

#

and our shammy accidently body pulled something

tribal blade
#

because you do giga sectecs on first boss

#

inflates sectec damage

livid minnow
#

and other than last boss gauntlet, packs in Mist are annoyingly small

#

if you don't have a tank that can pull through walls in labyrinth

tribal blade
#

@pliant topaz sub feels way better once you hit 14/15

#

you can actually spread ruptures

#

and it's full value

pliant topaz
#

yeah exactly

hazy breach
#

Idk sub doesnt really need big pulls anymore

pliant topaz
#

even on 13s it kinda feels weird

#

yeah 13s stuff dies too fast

its not that bad tbh

#

theres like 1 fear

#

just kick that guy

#

yeah so long as everyone is on top of kicks it's good

and then after first boss its like a few silences

#

bt just ick too

tribal blade
#

OR your prot pal kicks everything for you

pliant topaz

ranged kick ez

#

Assa does a lot of "padd" too

pliant topaz

but I will say

pliant topaz
tribal blade
hazy breach
#

I dont think sub is better than assa, but if assa gets nerfed again it probably will be

livid minnow
#

Haven't really tried 14s yet, still on farming all 13s first. But it is way more fun to play Sub in these than sub 12s key that's for sure

hazy breach
#

Nice thing about playing sub is that youre immortal compared to assa

pliant topaz
#

yeah i really really like vanish and the shield

#

and vers stack

livid minnow
#

freaking enh sham and frost dk destroying all backs too fast in 11s, no point

hazy breach
#

+5% dr from fazed, 10% hp shield a lot of the time and then roughly 50% uptime on 10% dr or big vanish shield

#

As well as more vers

pliant topaz
#

i also really like the boss damage aspect

#

it feels really good to burn bosses

#

i swear if sub somehow had good prio damage it would be perfect

#

but it has like such little "funnel/prio"

wind canopy
#

Buff evis

hazy breach
#

Its just that assa has really insane funnel/prio

pliant topaz
#

trickster?

#

isnt it like 10%

#

at best

wind canopy
#

Nerf scent

hazy breach
#

Well ye its not much funnel, but its just pure ST so its still fine prio

pliant topaz
#

yeah, but I meant its fine to do less aoe if youre doing really good prio

#

or get alot of prio from having the extra mobs

vagrant fulcrum
#

is tornado worth in GB? if not what do we take instead

strange chasm
#

Is DS sub in dungeons more aoe or no

hazy breach
livid minnow
#

Basically build closer to what the ST Raid build looks like, and let the other broken class do the funnel, take care of the Prio instead 2ez

hazy breach
#

Also its deeper+flag, despite it being hard to see in that pic

strange chasm
#

So like NW DS sub probs goes hard

pliant topaz
#

if singular focus wasnt as bugged as it is, the prio would be insane too

vagrant fulcrum
#

what magic damage are we doing without shadowed / db anyway? just sectec clones / flag / blades?

strange chasm
#

It's the same as play style as trickster right just instead of casting evis and shadow strike you are storm bp

vagrant fulcrum
#

IDK why my brain kept telling me

#

that finality is shadowed finishers

#

xd

hazy breach
#

You could use nado instead of VT if you want

#

But im not a nado enjoyer

vagrant fulcrum
#

yeah im not a massive nado fan either

kinda clashes with rotten imo

Nado not working with blades makes the talent unplayable for me

how many mobs do we powder on in trirckster

vagrant fulcrum
#

1st pull nw is poweder then

hazy breach
#

And maybe some SV pull

strange chasm
#

Maybe GB pulls too

#

We pull a lot in our group on GB

hazy breach
#

GB has too much prio

#

For it to be worth even if overall might be higher

strange chasm

Prio < pad

Like we pull the big dragon with all the trash before the dragons you fly on

And just lust delete them

Shiv and boomie de enrage

#

in Assa with Silence I'd understand

#

but in Sub, idk if Boomy silence is enough

vagrant fulcrum
#

bloodmallet is omegacooked

#

the sims submitted to it are entirrely non functional

hazy breach
#

Because bloodmallet is simming without any talents

#

For sub

vagrant fulcrum
#

as good as mandate is, its not going to do 70% of urr dps unless you're actually not using spells

hazy breach
#

I have updated the profile so whenever bloodmallet runs its sims again it should be correct

#

Yes transmitter+anything really

#

Contract, knife, mandate, crystal are all fine

#

Sacbrood aint great

vagrant fulcrum
#

@hazy breach after a bunch of thinking I think I figured out why i feel my st on dungeon bosses sucks on rogue

#

compared to sv

#

sub included

#

I don't hold cds

#

so ill pull stuff like 3rd boss siege with like 80s cd on blades / flag

left ledge
#

Yeah that will probably do it

hazy breach
#

Sometimes its better to not hold, just depends how long it takes

vagrant fulcrum
#

i've been conditioned to not hold if the cd is litterally not useless (deathmark on a dead mob)

left ledge
#

I mean that’s fine, only hold if you want to allocate damage somewhere specific

hazy breach
#

The thing about sub rn though is that you want to make sure you have 2x dances and 2x symbols for cds

#

So theres sometimes where you do pretty much nothing but farming cdr since you wont have enough dances come flag

vagrant fulcrum
#

also it feels like if ANYTHING goes wrong during cds

#

it can be catastrophic

#

idk how but tank managed to pull boss onto pillar 3rd boss siege and he avoided coup + sectec in blades

#

i was like where the fuck is my 10m dmg in 2 globals

hazy breach
#

Ye thats burst specs for ya

vagrant fulcrum
#

also using transmitter in keys is peak cringe

#

whoever designed this trinket doesn't have love for us (the players)

I didnt have skardyn for assa for a while so i still start jumping after pressing deathmark
