Imagine you can just titanforge onto Mythic track from 10+ gear

vale pine
#

"mythic item level ritual knive"

tribal blade
#

damn that would be massive bis

vale pine
#

or even better

#

with avoidence

#

jokes aside, i think titanforging is just a mechanism

#

to keep content rewarding

#

e.g. we discussed with delves

#

how they rly only give you normal loot

#

and a heroic loot vault

#

but you barely have any reason to run them outside of like first 2 weeks each patch

#

blizz ofc gives you reasons now

tribal blade
#

would it be worth at some point taking a hero track knife from the vault?

vale pine
#

you have a battle pass for it

#

with "season 1 progress"

vestal escarp
vale pine
#

but there is no reason to use it over mythic items

tribal blade
vale pine
#

its just very good for a heroic item

#

yes

#

i also got 2x

#

abyssal trap

tribal blade
vale pine

#

now i can pretend to be a hunter

vestal escarp
#

Delves solo content is too slow for me

tribal blade
#

it's simple, fast

#

gives a lot of stuff

sly shore
#

It's pretty easy to see delves are not content aimed at me

vale pine
#

delves reward structure is meh

sly shore
#

But who it is aimed it

#

it's really good for

#

simples

vale pine
#

its good for alts

#

if they can solo it

sly shore
#

even then not

vale pine
#

whats the next question

fossil gyro
#

Horrific visions coming back though 👀

tribal blade
#

i'm someone who does stuff like achievements, pet collecting, mount collecting, tmog collecting

#

so doing delves every week is worth to me

#

i'm actually finishing up my last weekly delve as we speak

fossil gyro
#

TBH on week 1 soloing delves with low gear was fun as it was kinda new and challenging + gear was as good as you could get

alpine wraith
#

for rogue it was easymode tho

#

you can even sap the big elites

#

and just skip them

#

LUL

#

also trick brann when he was a rabid rapist

lilac stag
#

rogue wasn’t ez mode. Pet classes were ez mode on release.

sly shore
#

bdk solo the entire thing for a group

lilac stag
#

bm hunters running 11s when everyone else at 6-7. Haha

#

I like delves. Nice time to just chill and do some solo content. I wish the 11s offered heroic gear and at least 1 mythic vault option

alpine wraith
#

well we got lots of content cut

#

remember awakening the machine was meant to be a whole thing

#

it had 50 lvls and lots of achievs etc

#

delves too i guess

#

we'll never know

fossil gyro
#

Btw I'm gonna take a look at updating the WoWAnalyzer for sub over the weekend for "fun"

round latch
vestal escarp
#

For how many delves?

round latch
#

8

alpine wraith
#

i have like 20 keys

round latch
#

and i might exaggerate on time

alpine wraith
#

maybe i do some

#

but yea delve mats ar soaring

round latch
#

its like 2min each delve

vestal escarp
#

Bro im gonna chrono myself watch what you say

alpine wraith
#

i have done tak rethan in like 1 min and a half

vestal escarp
#

You also need to grind keys right

alpine wraith
#

you are bulldozer now

#

literally pull everything and aoe it down

#

with brann healer

#

the pot heals for 4m

#

LUL

round latch
#

u dont rly care,just go in storm the delve go next

#

if u get a map rng the heor track knife

vestal escarp
#

Ngl i want hero knife

#

Crystal is strong but ..

round latch
#

yup knife is poggers

lilac stag
#

I keep running them for knife

vestal escarp
#

I would like to sim mandate never critting vs crystal or knife

round latch
#

knife wins vs heroic mandate in m+

#

hands down

vestal escarp
#

Yeah not keys tho

#

Patchwerk

round latch
#

ah mandate kinda stronk st

#

stonks

#

didnt do the comparison

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

the weeks where you had paranoia

#

will haunt me

vale pine
#

i don't want to ruin anyones fun for the game

alpine wraith
#

DONT MOVE

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

feared

vale pine
#

but wow takes the crown from nintendo in re-cycling content

#

this xpac

#

old is the new new

lilac stag
vale pine
#

i think visions are fun once

#

its just not a good long time format

bronze turret
#

Nah, not my vibe

vale pine
#

did you test/play plunderstorm

#

might be fun for a little while

lilac stag
#

I’m looking forward to plunder round 2

vale pine
#

i am not sure yet

#

but we will see, i hope for a new map and skills

chrome fern
#

raid was a success!

vale pine
#

nice

fair anchor
#

Is there a reason for the sim to sometimes send sectec 2nd finisher in dance, usually popping dance with full combo points to instantly eviscerate ?

#

Even outside of the 2nd dance in the flag window cause yeah this one is obvious

#

It looks like it does it when we already have several stacks of flawless form

lilac stag
#

@hazy breach ^

vale pine
#

it is because we use symbols/dance before secret is off cd

#

so it uses a finisher to get back secret

fair anchor
#

Ah yeah so we're not fighting for of live with backstab and get Sectec quicker, smart, i see thanks

#

Might need to make a rule in my head depending on sectec remaining cd

zenith hearth
unkempt adder
#

is there a macro to like stop casting an ability if the aura is already on? like if i macro secret tech with symbols of death, i can sometimes use 2 stacks of symbol because i spam key like we all do

native zodiac
#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

native zodiac
#

@unkempt adder

unkempt adder
#

aha thank you

latent finch
unkempt adder
#

#showtooltip secret technique
/cast cold blood
/castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death, secret technique, null
/cqs

#

this worked like a charm @native zodiac

idle aurora
#

How many people bake symbols of death into sec tec or shadow?

winged prawn
#

Do we still need to play gnome on queen ?

unkempt adder
#

#showtooltip secret technique
/cast cold blood
/castsequence reset=1 Symbols of Death, null
/castsequence reset=2 secret technique
/cqs

needed to refine it. this fixes if the cold blood and symbols is on cd but still want to use secret tech problem

trail epoch
#

Weirdo

#

Remove cast sequence before tech

round latch
vestal escarp
#

Naaaaah i wanna kms

unkempt adder
#

ye true i dont need that

vestal escarp
#

this stuff aint for me

tepid trellis
native zodiac
#

But up to you

unkempt adder
#

is there an instance where i would use symbols without tech?

native zodiac
#

Theres a lot of times you will use technique as 2nd finisher in your dance for example

#

So you will not have symbols at the start of your dance then

#

I personally only use the cb technique macro as i think the others create bad habits especially if the logic changes next tier for example

coarse nexus
#

do any of you play tornado in m+?

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

Its very slightly better than veiltouched on huge pulls yes, but its completely useless on bosses and very weak on low target counts

sinful sluice
#

holy shit this was so thrilling

static juniper
#

do we always want to press SoD right before sectech for the supercharged points?

hazy breach
#

Yesnt

#

You always want your sectech to use one of the supercharger points yes

static juniper
#

++

hazy breach
#

But its not necessarily always the first one

static juniper
#

will try to turn it into a habbit as im still using SoD + dance when sectech is 7-10 sec away..

static juniper
hazy breach
#

You get 2 supercharged combo points when you press SoD

static juniper
#

ooh so you do not consume them both at once

hazy breach
#

So if your sectech has 10 seconds left and you use dance+symbols and eviscerate, it will reduce the cooldown of sectech to 0 and then you can use the other one with sectech

#

Correct you do not consume both at once

tepid trellis
#

as BMTH once said, killing it(me) 1 by 1

hazy breach
#

During your blades+flag burst you want to use it for that purpose

#

Since you end up with 10s left on sectech most of the time

#

So if you dont use SoD for those +3 then you will need an extra finisher before sectech, which isnt great

vale pine
tepid trellis

yuh, high uptime big hitter class

lol why does it seem like in some fights flag has a Lower range that other abilities i swear I use it and am three gcd into rotation and looking at it still up and just Sadge

Tornado is jarring to play

your fault CAUGHT

spark tusk
vale pine
alpine wraith
#

why would you not play first dance

#

one of the best talents for m+

warm marlin
#

its only for mists up to 1st boss so you are only getting maybe 12s of dance total

#

and 4 of those are on the 1st part of boss so not a ton of value

alpine wraith
#

yea and keep in mind those extra 4 secs are already worth almost in a 6 mi boss fight

#

even more in 3 mins of dungeon

#

where you proc it twice or thrice

#

so even more reason to run it

warm marlin
#

when i was cooking this for this part of mists I was looking at dropping RS and premed for ist/planned execution for pure burn dmg

alpine wraith
#

so you lost the sun while looking for weeds

#

but tbh we dont have many extra burst talents

#

i guess PE would help a bit more

warm marlin
#

ya it was more tfd duration gets used before the burn, and burn damage would be the main reason to swap to sub anyway, and premed does nothing for burst with blades lasting entire phase

zenith hollow
#

does anyone know of a queen log where they hold vanish for 1st root break I can look at?

uneven scarab
#

If you vanish at the start of the pull its back up for 1st roots

zenith hollow
#

good to know thanks

#

and you can vanish>cloak>dps 3rd root if you aren't gnome ya?

uneven scarab
#

Its either back up for 1st or 2nd i believe

#

yeah you can easy

alpine wraith
#

yea you vanish cloak dps vanish

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

yea idk let people be people although for mists most of the time i prefer to just send cds on pull on ingra

#

then i have cb dance + mandate on burn

#

and other people can save more things

#

still end up the boss at like 3 m 3.2m most of the time unless group sucks a bit and we have to do 3 burns

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

Imagine the trash before the boss getting destroyed faster because you took TFD. Those are easy uses.

alpine wraith
#

well these people know what they want

#

so making them change ideas is hard

#

still going PE is not a super bad idea for that situation

vale pine
#

i think tfd should get the 6 seconds removed

warm marlin
vale pine
#

simply because ....

#

it sucks

#

its bad player feedback

alpine wraith
#

but i also do the above

#

so im blasting ingra on pull where tfd shines more

#

likely that is more boss dmg than PE VS tfd on the burn

hazy breach
#

Well for sub the ideal way to play the boss is to use CDs on pull and then phase it at 1:30

#

And then phase it again at 3m and kill it

#

My main gripe with tfd

#

Is that it often doesnt start counting until like 3-4 seconds after youve left combat

vale pine
#

maybe it still uses the old 10 second timer?

gritty knot
#

I am sick of replicating shadows too tbh...so u guys would recommend using the First Dance anyway in m+ Always?

alpine wraith
#

very annoying

alpine wraith
#

the only talent i change is wm to replicating

#

if i still havent inted by getting annoyed

#

of losing cps

#

that day

gritty knot
#

Okay, nice thx. U cant reset tfd midfight somehow right? Like vanish far away. And even if it works its propably stupid right? I actually didn't Play tfd yet because i can only Play Sub in some Dungeons. In Others i am always forced to Play assa because of IW....-.-

alpine wraith
#

nope no resetting

#

on dungeons you can but doing it midpull is not worth

gritty knot
#

Okay. But still 4 Seconds longer shadowdance is huge propably

alpine wraith
#

it is

#

as said before it is almost worth on a 6 min bossfight

#

so imagine getting several procs over a dungeon

gritty knot
#

Nice, I ll try that Out later for Sure. That Sounds insane. Good for me that I ve read that discussion today and saw that, because I never thought of that Talent yet 😂

left ledge
#

It’s a very nice talent

#

But it counts wrong

#

You technically should be able to have it a lot more often

gritty knot
#

In CoT it must be insane aswell

left ledge
#

But sometimes it just counts down too late

gritty knot
#

Or dawnbreaker

#

Damn. I am actually super excited now to Test that Out later when I can come online

#

Thx guys

Hi, is it okay to hold secret tech or 15-20 secs for upcoming CDs or is it better to use outside of dance

uneven scarab

If you got cd’s coming in 15-20 def hold

thick temple
#

I haven't been accepted into a single +12 since I've timed all m+ 11s. Am I supposed to play sin to just progress IO? Do you guys have this same issue?

pliant topaz
#

think about it like this

#

12 is a big hard gate

#

jump is really big

#

keys get a lot harder

#

u and all the other people who timed all their 11s are applying

#

so the chances of you getting in, is very little

molten wagon
alpine wraith
#

yea best thing you can do is time your 11 +1 or +2

#

and then get people to do yours

pliant topaz
#

best thing is to have friends u play with and stop pugging altogether

thick temple
#

I didn't know if theres a gap between 11 to 12

alpine wraith
#

yea my friends all quit already

pliant topaz
#

theres a major gap between 11s and 12s

alpine wraith
#

unlucky

pliant topaz
#

12s feel closer to what you think a 14 feels like

alpine wraith
#

i was doing 12s third week

pliant topaz
#

rather than a 12

thick temple
#

I dont think anyone is bold enough to claim class selection trumps skill expression/talent when timing 12s

alpine wraith
#

but now i cba

#

only do 8 10s

#

yea but it is all the information people have

#

the only thing they have is keys done io class spec

pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

oh and ilv

pliant topaz
#

they see a spec and an io attached to it

thick temple
#

my io?

pliant topaz
#

its litearlly a number and a spec

#

everyone aroud you has the same io

#

and better specs

#

so which one would you take?

thick temple
#

i take the guy that has higher io

pliant topaz
#

but they all have the same io

#

youve timed all 11s so im assumign youre like 2750?

thick temple
#

tier whoring when you aren't in the top .01 percentile is like the most unhealthy way to approach competition

#

2721

molten wagon
#

Like, you need a tank, you have a monk and a dk in your list, same io, same ilvl, which one do you take

pliant topaz
#

okay 2721, how many other 2700-2850 people do you think apply to a 12?

#

put your own 12 up, youll see

alpine wraith
#

always monk it buffs me

pliant topaz
#

theres people in 2800s applying. so why take the 2721

alpine wraith
#

my groups always warrior monk shaman druid and me

thick temple
alpine wraith
#

all the buffs for me

pliant topaz
thick temple
alpine wraith
#

yea it is a bit it is what it is

#

meta

pliant topaz
#

class selection is more important in m+ than raid

alpine wraith
#

yea because of deplete

#

if you could retry it would be more permissible

thick temple
# alpine wraith meta

does meta trump like time put into a class? Skill expression? Wouldn't you want a master of x,y,z instead of some mediocre jack of all trades

pliant topaz
#

like you go to ara kara without poison dispell, even a 12 is a nightmare

alpine wraith
#

people care 0 about your exp they only see what they see

#

you can talk all you want here but they only have that info

pliant topaz
#

u go to SV without curse dispell, youre not getting past the litearlly first pull

thick temple
#

Do you advise I learn sin or just host my own keys

pliant topaz
#

do your own keys

alpine wraith
#

i just hope you dont enjoy m+

pliant topaz
#

or ebtter yet, find 4 other people

#

and play with them

alpine wraith
#

doing it without frinds is harsh

uneven scarab
#

without a group it is miserable

#

100%

alpine wraith
#

you could try and intermingle with people if you see someone good talk to them

thick temple
#

i have like nothing else to do other than work on raid parses lol

#

or play like fightinggames ig

alpine wraith
#

not everyone is super introverted

molten wagon
#

Yeah, play with friends, don't care about the meta, and the keys will go up

alpine wraith
#

some people will just talk

thick temple
molten wagon
#

Ping the guys you did the 11 with, ask them if they're down to try on 12

alpine wraith
#

yea you already have more friends than me now

pliant topaz
#

this is stealthis thoughts on pugigng m+

thick temple
#

My main concern is spec selection. Im not trying to make a speech about community bias

alpine wraith
#

they all left key

#

class selection will be biased

#

because everyone can see the data

#

it is not a hidden thing

#

some are better

thick temple
#

illusion of free choice. ive never learned assa and I dont have assa gear

#

I gave up a mythic silken neck bc I dont play sin, but ik its good on sin

warm marlin
pliant topaz
thick temple
#

I meant spec selection, I understand when you dont need a rogue in certain dungeons.

pliant topaz
#

now if you mean on a 12 why they care if youre a sub rogue or a sin rogue, well, theres 2 rogues one is sub one is sin both 2800 io. Sin is more likely to make your keys easier because its a lot easier to do more damage with it. so you pick the spec thats more likely to help you time the key.

thick temple
#

unless there is utility assa has that sub doesnt

pliant topaz
#

assa has iron wire

#

its not needed at all

#

but it does make keys a bit easier

uneven scarab
#

sub gives no parries dogeing

#

Huge party buff

thick temple
#

ive grinded tons of comp games and wow is my first mmo. I never believed meta to make an impact on perforamnce unless you are in top .001 percentile. Skill will always be the difference maker

warm marlin
#

unfortunately in wow the only approximation of skill we have are a few funny numbers

molten wagon
uneven scarab
#

That is still the case here but meta definitely has a much larger impact in wow

pliant topaz
#

okay you keep saying skill, but the only real signal towards your skill is io. and even then its not really a meaningful signal.

#

so theres no indication

topaz raptor
#

given equal skill, you take the better spec

warm marlin
#

in fact, they are inviting based on skill. if you wait more than a minute when posting a 12 there will be plenty of 2800+ applicants who by the only metric possible are more likely to have more skill

pliant topaz
#

^

thick temple
#

I dont mean to compare like the exact same IO of two rogues, one sin and one assa

topaz raptor
#

very easy to assume everyone is equal skill (bad) and you take the spec that is statistically the best

warm marlin
#

it's not really unfair but it is just the reality of doing keys, find a group/friends or suffer in group finder (the second one is very not fun from someone who did it a lot in the past)

thick temple
#

isnt rogue overall a difficult class? Is sin relatively a 1,2,3,4 spec compared to sub?

gritty knot
#

@alpine wraith U said I should drop weaponmaster talent right? and talent TFD instead

uneven scarab
#

If you wanna play tfd you drop wm yes

pliant topaz
#

LFG is just not a sustainable system for a role based game.

thick temple
gritty knot
#

Okay thx

topaz raptor
alpine wraith
#

i always play tfd

gritty knot
#

@alpine wraith aaah, okay. will try that out, cheers m8

molten wagon
#

And also, the composition matters, like you are a sole dps trying to run your key, you don't want to take other dps first because you're lacking tank/heal so first you wait because you don't want to pass on tanks tagging with their buddies. Once you've taken your tank and your heal, you already have 3/4 people in your key, and you will usually find that you are lacking some vital utility (like, you want an aug, a lust, a CR) and take the associated class. As sub, you don't bring that much if you trade the vital utility for the quality of life you bring

topaz raptor
#

i would say sub is harder because timings matter

#

yeah utility is not created equal

topaz raptor
#

cables are pretty good though

thick temple
#

per your guys' friendly advice

topaz raptor
#

yeah sin is very clearly the better spec, but fortunately sub is good enough that you aren't really griefing if you are playing it

thick temple
#

For such a long lasting franchise I just expected a little more, idk.

uneven scarab
topaz raptor
#

they don't put a huge amount of effort into balancing m+, i don't even know if it's possible

#

balance is in a much better spot than it has been in the last couple tiers

#

balance is actually really really good right now

pliant topaz
#

an LFG based system makes this worse because you can actively choose who you bring

#

it further makes it worse because the supply >>>>>>> demand for dps

thick temple
#

is it troll if i host my keys as assa and then once the group is formed i switch to sub or does my io change

hazy breach
#

Its fine

pliant topaz
#

youll sooon realize people dotn care as much who you are when signing up for your keys

#

everyones in your shoes

#

they just wanan get in a key

thick temple
#

i can see that

alpine wraith
#

yea these kinda games were always meant to be played together

#

so kinda like get into guilds/communities befriend people then play together

#

if you dont do that

#

you end up sad eventually

#

or be like me and all your friends stop playing kek

thick temple
#

wow is dying amongst my friend group slowly PlatypusCosplayingAsBeaver have a monk and a mage that will always run keys w me though

#

I see a HUGE difference in trinkets being used in keys.. what is a good pair for sub? 😄

alpine wraith

passive ones are crystal from dawnbreaker ovi nax egg knife from delve or contract

Really fuck with em and take double vanish

Is it really that few playing sub

lilac stag

It’s probably lower than post combo.

#

Assa is so fucking strong

but private logs are there too so idk

lilac stag
#

keys…. lets see

alpine wraith
#

sorry 95 public logs now

#

nerf did some things

lilac stag
#

So less than .1

alpine wraith
#

so yea lets say there are double the private logs

#

there are 180 logs of sub on ansurek

#

vs lets say

#

ok i got lazy but yea there are more than 1000 bm

#

but many of those are rekills so idk

Sub is so insanely fun. I will not be swapping for reclear now, but unfort will still be playing ass for key push.

idle aurora
#

Man I still can’t figure out how people maintain such insane dam in keys

#

I must b holding onto cooldowns too much

#

And also my awful trinket situation

alpine wraith
#

it is mostly gear

#

a lot of us are like 635

#

the diff in power is massive even if only 5 to 7 ilvl lower

strange chasm
#

637 😎

alpine wraith
#

yea im 636 rn i think

#

next week 637

hazy breach
#

Obviously its gonna depend on your groups damage and your ilvl, but ive found that ~60m or so left on a mob is usually enough to get most of the value out of it

#

So if a mob has less than that i wouldnt use

idle aurora
#

That’s a good call out

#

I wish more tanks would keep the pull train moving

#

I die inside when I’m sitting on big combo

#

And we are fighting one high health mob

hazy breach
#

You should probably still use a shadow dance+symbols

#

Even if youre not sending your big cds

idle aurora
#

Do you ever hold big dam on a big pack of boss coming up?

#

Or still send?

hazy breach
#

Another rule of thumb is that you generally want ~40s left on your second dance charge whenever you press flag

#

To make sure you get 2x during flag+blades

idle aurora
#

So 1 and under 40 on 2?

hazy breach
#

Ye

idle aurora
#

Ooo see that’s juicy intel 🙂

hazy breach
#

If you have tfd up its more like 50-55ish since you get 2 more globals

idle aurora
#

I was actually holding to 2

#

Which looking at it now is insane loss of dps

hazy breach
#

Youre still spending combo points during your first dance in blades+flag so you dont need both to be ready at the start

#

Just enough that its ready when the first ends

idle aurora
#

Another dumb question

#

When I shadow

#

Should I evisc backstab

#

Then cold blood

pliant topaz
#

u dont backstab in dance

idle aurora
#

Err the other one

#

My brain died

#

But should I do a evis right after shadow always?

pliant topaz
#

u mean shadow blades?

#

or flag?

idle aurora
#

Ok sec I need to make sure I’m saying all the right words

#

So symbols into dance

#

Then do I evisc sectec or rip sectec

pliant topaz
#

supercharger gives you 2 stacks. you want to make sure to spend 1 stack on sectech the other one is either on evis or coup.

idle aurora
#

I know if sec tec is down evis to get it back up

#

But if it’s up just send it?

#

To get on cooldown

pliant topaz
#

if sectech is up, you send it first during dance as long you dont have both coup and fazed up

#

except hte times where its off cd and you will not be dancing until flag/blades are both up, which u send sectech outside of danec as long as you can get it back by the time you will be using flag

idle aurora
#

I finally started to do this last night lol

#

And not hold it

hazy breach
#

And you generally should not be sending symbols+dance if your secret technique is on cooldown

idle aurora
#

Oh wait

hazy breach
#

The exception being if its on like 10s cd which you can reduce by a supercharged eviscerate

idle aurora
#

Damnit really

#

I usually pop symbols and go into dance next always

hazy breach
#

Every dance should have a sectech in it

#

Preferably at the start, but second finisher works too

#

Since we have multiple charges of symbols and dance we do not need to use em immediately

idle aurora
#

So dance evisc symbols sec tec?

hazy breach
#

We can hold onto them until more opportune moments without losing anything

#

Symbols before the eviscerate

idle aurora
#

Ohhhh

hazy breach
#

But yes, either dance at 6+ cp or at 0

idle aurora
#

Yeah ok get like 2 extra seconds

#

Jesus I didn’t think of that

#

It’s like a full gcd where no dmg is going out

#

Now to break bad habits

#

Thanks eleem!

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

best thing you can do is game hard

#

you will get used to it

#

you can also do some cheeky things in some dungeons and places

#

with getting extra chargers

hazy breach
#

Only a mist 15, but still, +score is +score

alpine wraith
#

i just do +10 cba with other things

#

well at least sub rogue seems good in pvp

#

won in eu now in na it is doing well

keen zenith
#

it's the first round it's played so far:P

#

its not bad though

alpine wraith

true actually

the others were outlaw

i got u

alpine wraith

also you can que 2 SoD before flying on the doragon

wind canopy

Go big or go home

alpine wraith

to get 6 chargers on pull with boss

#

or well 8

#

if you count the 2 from actually using SoD too

hazy breach
#

Who needs iron wire anyway

#

Its not like youre gonna die from random casts going through

sinful sluice
#

just tell them you are assa and swap to sub on count

alpine wraith
#

no dont lie

#

just speak a lot of good sides of sub

#

just dont say we do 1 mil only without cds

#

shhh

sinful sluice
#

its real rogue roleplaying

tribal blade

but i'm not looking forward to bricking on 1st pull to the tank dying like the last time i tried 15 NW

one of my friends is finally doing keys so we might 2 man pug now

we have 15 NW 15 gb now

hello i am in search of help

i recently started playing sub for mythic ansurek prog and im having a hard time anticipating when I'll get combo point refunds with symbols up. There are times when I'll expect to get a refund and I don't, then other times I don't expect to get a refund and I do.

For the latter I recently found out if im talented into 2-target rupture, tics of rupture can proc finishers which is kinda weird. idk if there's a way to play around that

For the former, here's a clip https://www.twitch.tv/shindigwow/clip/ClumsyRealOryxFrankerZ-Bda-xrQshmV-vfin

I send an evis at 8 stored cp's with symbols up and don't get a refund. why is that?

Twitch

Watch shindigwow's clip titled "NO REFUND??"

▶ Play video
lilac stag
#

I can’t watch your stream but if you’re running replicating shadows it can cause inconsistent delays in cp returns.

pliant topaz
#

the 2nd one is a dance/stealth bug that makes shadowcraft not refund cps until after you sod again

long sun
#

Is there any way to play around the replicating shadows bug?

long sun
spark tusk
#

Replicating shadows is broke and makes people punch holes in their walls. it's ok you're not the first

spark tusk
#

IIRC for full single target it can be worth dropping the talent just to avoid the bug

#

even if it sims worse, but I'll defer to the big brain subbers to confirm

tribal blade
#

i haven't simmed it but iirc it's a marginal dps loss

#

but you don't have to play with the RS bug

half comet
#

what is blizzards history with bugs that affect dps I feel like that would be something that has decent priority

#

or is it just cuz we're rogue

lucid jackal
#

It's random

#

Many classes have similar bugs

#

It's not a rogue specific problem

tribal blade
#

yeah like the big one i know about it is dh

#

dh has a lot of bugs too

spark tusk
#

Also like, the % of players exposed to these bugs (the player in a position to want to punch a wall when this bug happens) is extremely small

#

we think it's glaringly obvious and horrible

#

but we're tiny

half comet
#

thats true i didnt think of that

tribal blade
#

the sad truth is the dev team is obviously small

#

and they don't have time to fix every single problem

#

so we literally have to pray they decide to fix sub stuff

#

over other specs

#

BUT GOOD NEWS we're the least played spec

#

so will we get a lot of dev time? nah

long sun
#

Tyty

half comet
#

i started playing wow right before 10.2 i think is when the rogue rework came out and all i was told was that sub was basically always the go to rogue spec and most popular

#

most popualr for rogue*

#

then the dust incident happened

grave abyss
#

I don't think that's true at all

tribal blade
#

with RS

#

w/o RS

#

so kinda nothing

strange chasm
#

Is that ds or patch

tribal blade
#

patchwerk

#

oh no wait a second, i think i mixed them up

#

the lower dps sim is with RS

#

for me

#

interesting

spark tusk
#

what did you swa pfor it?

tribal blade
#

improved sht

#

i think playing with imp sht is a big QoL change

#

kinda sad we don't have it in M+ build

#

i accidently made a mists group w/o a shammy last week, and it was pure misery

#

no imp sht and no skyfury

#

my energy was in the toilet

hazy breach
#

Ye no skyfury is rough

#

Luckily all 3 shaman specs are really good

#

So you have it in most keys

tribal blade
#

i was wondering the whole time "why the fuck does everything feel horrible right now"

tribal blade
#

because the difference skyfury makes for sub is crazy

#

the last time i simmed it it gives something like +125k dps

hazy breach
#

Ye its a lot

tribal blade
#

@hazy breach i see you're a TFD gamer too now

#

hell yeah

hazy breach
#

Ye ive ran tfd in all my keys pretty much

#

If i didnt its because i accidently had my ST spec on when i did a swappero

spark tusk
#

instead of rs?

hazy breach
#

No instead of WM

spark tusk
#

ah

hazy breach
#

Think RS is too good

#

And i dont feel like im losing that much cp from the bug

tribal blade
#

yeah you lose quite a bit of cleave if you don't talent into RS

#

i haven't really been spreading rupture as much as i used to as tanks are gathering

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

oh there's a lot here lol

tribal blade
#

this is super niche and uncommon, but on master machinists in SV if you don't have a ranged kick in your comp i suppose you can step>kick the boss every time he runs away

#

oh on 1st boss of CoT you can pre cloak the debuff before it comes out

#

on 3rd boss of CoT you could maybe say you can combine sprint+cloak to help out your group and grab as many orbs as possible so your group doesn't need to soak a set

spark tusk
#

this is why I'm in this chat I just learned 3 things I don't know if I'll ever need to use them but they'll be in the back of my head

hazy breach
#

Surebud Good stuff

tribal blade
#

last boss of DB too you can step back to the boss after you've dropped a web

hazy breach
#

Ye the spiderman tech

tribal blade
#

yeah that helped me out a ton on that boss when i figured that out lol

hazy breach
#

Of jumping of the platform

#

Its kinda hard to explain without a video though

tribal blade
#

i have yet to try that, i hear it can get fucked up because of shorter height races

#

like i'm a dwarf

hazy breach
#

Nah its fine

tribal blade
#

i tried doing it at the start of the season and it didn't work for some reason

hazy breach
#

The only time where it can go wrong is if you jump very late, because when the web goes out you get "gripped" down to the floor

#

So you can glitch through the wall if you do it very late

tribal blade
#

ahhh gotcha

hazy breach
#

But you can be down there for a second or two without anything happening

tribal blade
#

i have yet to see space be a real problem on that boss yet anyways

hazy breach
#

Ye thats why i didnt mention it

tribal blade
#

main issue on that boss is just damage

hazy breach
#

Its cool tech yes, but its not really needed and is hard to explain in text without it being very longwinded

tribal blade
#

yeah true!

strange chasm
#

I know if you don't cancel the perm tricks buff on NW the last boss if you get sent down the ad cant be hit

hazy breach
#

Oh ye right

tribal blade
#

that's an important one for sure

#

the dragons in GB you can also feint>step back to them after the knock goes out

#

but it's kinda dangerous doing this at times because you can step back into aoe stuff on the ground and die

hazy breach
#

Ye for the most part id just recommend line of sighting

#

It does a decent chunk of damage even with feint up

#

Stray bolts can def kill you after it

tribal blade
#

yeah i've killed myself quite a few times trying to use the feint>step tech there

#

it's definitely much safer to just los

#

i'm not sure if it's worth saying, but if you're running a no ranged comp and get the charge on 2nd boss in ara you can vanish it

#

at least i'm pretty sure you can vanish it, i haven't actually done it

is it dm or trickster for st now

#

im going back to my roots fuck sin

pliant topaz
#

Trickster for all

foggy orchid
#

Is it crazy to macro dance and sod together. It feels like I’m using them almost always at the same time anyway

warm depot
#

word ty

hazy breach
#

Keyword being almost

#

You want to be able to cast them individually during your burst (ie the second dance of it)

#

But outside of that you could macro them ig, i just dont see the point shrugeg

foggy orchid
#

It looks like the burst always starts with both at the same time and then I always hold symbols for just an extra 2 globals or so after the second dance, meh idk. I just like cutting down my binds wherever I can

lucid jackal
#

U use them separately though

tribal blade
#

do you guys know how to pull the pack after 1st boss in mists through the wall

#

doing the pygmy thing

round latch
#

I know that dks do it with grip

#

idk what pygmy is tbh

#

😅

#

back on SL i knew druids and hunter and warlocks could do that as well with the same focus target tech but pygmy..

#

what is pygmy

alpine wraith
#

it is a mob type from cata

#

the guys with their eyes hidden by the turban

#

but i have no idea what item he talks about

round latch
swift tinsel
#

Pygmy Oil

#

fish up pygmy suckerfish and alchemists make the oil

round latch
#

so u drink the oil and u get smaller

swift tinsel
#

I think you have to drink 10

#

iirc

round latch
#

10 to perform the maze pull?

#

hmm

swift tinsel
#

its an old wotlk consumable

round latch
#

yeah ive googled the details

#

im just curious what prophet said

#

how to perform the pull

#

searching on reddit

#

nvm found it

#

cool

#

@tribal blade

tribal blade
round latch
tribal blade
#

ah ok so only spell casters can do it

#

why did i hear rogues can do it too

round latch
#

the poison dagger throw thingy

#

im a mechagnome,will test it later on today and confirm

#

says any 40y range spell could pull but im skeptical

#

im positive my mage will perform it

#

dunno about my rogue

strange chasm
#

Sub fine on COT?

#

Is this a cook

tribal blade
#

sub is pretty miserable atm w/o more symbols charges

strange chasm
#

first dance though

#

I find I dont get

#

it enough in a key

tribal blade
#

TFD is very good

#

if you think about CoT

#

you get it 1st pull

strange chasm
#

true and 2nd

tribal blade
#

then depending on how your tank pulls and skips you get it for more

strange chasm
#

because of waiting for buff

#

get it on every eye

tribal blade
#

and then you get it for every pack when you're running around doing the mini game

#

get it for 2nd boss

#

it's up a lot p much haha

#

and iirc you only need 1 proc every ~5 mins for it to be better than WM

short radish
#

Yeah tfd goes hard in cot

#

So much uptime

lucid jackal
#

TFD I feel is dungeon specific

#

Feels literally worthless in stonevaults for example

#

Feels a lot better in stuff like mists

tribal blade
#

i have yet to try using sub in SV

#

i'm afraid to run that place without iron wire carrying the beginning of pulls

strange chasm
#

ok 2.8 milly

#

we kinda blasting

#

w/ aug

tribal blade
#

sub is a lot better now

narrow shadow
#

Hey guys, how is sub in mythic palace?

lucid jackal
#

I'd say its the best spec

#

for rogue*

narrow shadow
#

Really? All the hype seems to be in assa

lucid jackal
#

Assa is also very good, its one of the best specs in dungeons overall

narrow shadow
#

I find assa in boss fights boring so I wanted to try sub in raid

#

But not sure how it's performing in mythic

#

If it's good enough for progression

lucid jackal
#

Idk about progging at this point, but for earlier prog sub was just better on last 2 for example

#

I'd say overall all 3 rogue specs are basically the same in raid, you can play any of them and they will perform well

#

Sub has the edge on queen, Idk if it even has the edge on silken court anymore

narrow shadow
#

As long as it's comparable I'll take it

#

No need to be the top

tribal blade
#

if it makes a difference you're tankier as sub over sin

#

dude i need to somehow end this not timing a single 15 streak

#

this has just been the most insane amount of bad luck i have ever had in this game

lucid jackal
#

On the hardest fights, it's just better

narrow shadow
#

Yup, thanks

#

Will give it a shot

#

Got a mastery/vers set

sinful sluice
#

does anyone have their own defensive roatation for kyveza?

#

idk if i have to use cloak on first queensbane or not

tough knot
#

Looks like it's neck and neck on court now

edgy zenith
#

if you're running DS, use Evasion for the boom blazes at the end of each intermission

#

and feint during intermission when you get targeted

sinful sluice
#

ohh right ds had that talent right

#

should i try out DS for kyveza

edgy zenith
#

no, you should try Sin though

#

lmao

#

Sin is much better

#

for that fight

#

but if you're stuck on Sub, you should be fine, just triple make sure you're not getting double hit by blazes in end of intermission

#

you can live 2 blazes with evasion and DS talent, you cant' without

#

Outlaw is actually very good on that fight too if you wanna play that

tough knot
#

Elusiveness goes hard on that fight

edgy zenith
#

yeah, that is required btw

tribal blade
#

you need elusiveness or you're gonna just get completely dicked during intermissions

#

because base feint doesn't work on anything

idle aurora
#

Well I got a heroic skarddyns at least

#

Should I use 2 clickable trinkets?

#

Or is it best to have one passive

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tepid trellis
lucid jackal
#

No idea but P1 platform is still a cooldown that very few classes can actually do

#

Sub is one of them

tepid trellis
#

pretty sure prog wise sub is better, but boss dam wise assa wins

#

atleast when p3 gets shorter

#

just 2 fat dm's

idle aurora
#

Are any brd trinkets worth going for

jaunty umbra
#

no

coarse bridge
#

we should always be using sec tech first after 2nd symbols during cds?

lilac stag
#

Yes. You want it supercharged.

#

Well first or second finisher

coarse bridge
#

maybe its lack of skyfury that makes the timing a little tight

zenith hollow
#

I have my cooldowns in an mrt note as im getting used to timings is there a way to make it scroll as the fight goes on as it is now I either need a really long window or just deal with seeing nothing once its past

lilac stag
#

that way you’re not looking at the list

sinful sluice
#

ahh

#

why does flag not reset on wipe

#

its so irretating...

tepid trellis
#

cuz it aint a 2min cd

#

unfortunately

sinful sluice
#

hope they patch it

#

i mean they do reset dance so

tepid trellis
#

it doesent reset all stacks

vale pine
#

i think there is a good argument to make 1 min 30 cds on sub reset

#

and stacks

#

but well, it is what it is

tribal blade
#

so why exactly don't all cds just reset on a raid boss wipe, i never understood

#

do they simply not have the technology

keen dome
#

Probably one of those things they never went back and updated as the game changed? Who knows

#

But it really should

vale pine
#

if you have e.g. 2 stacks of dance

#

it is technically a 2 min cd

#

but won't reset

tribal blade
#

NEW ARCAAANNNNEEEEEE

#

neeerrrwwhhh

round latch
#

i didnt like it

#

(+11)

round latch
#

u can make the pull in mists as a gnome

sinful sluice
#

Whats the best way to dodge kyveza daggers?

#

Do i have to dodge them inside the middle box

#

I get hit by balls easily if i stay outside of it

tribal blade
#

the best way to dodge is have a countdown set on bigwigs so you know exactly when they're coming out, then watch the direction she's facing right before daggers go out and try to be behind her

#

if you're really worried the safest thing to do is to move off her so you can very easily dodge the daggers she shoots out if you happen to be in the blast

#

also as you're dodging

#

a lot of people make the mistake of moving too much

sinful sluice
#

i see

tribal blade
#

you want to quickly move off any line you're on, then immediately stop and wait for the next lines

sinful sluice
#

the first dagger comes out so fast so i tried standing beside her

tribal blade
#

you don't want to be nonstop moving

sinful sluice
#

but that way i get easily lost and get hit by the orbs

tribal blade
#

it comes with practice, but yeah you want to dodge while staying in melee range of her if possible AND staying within the middle

#

but i highly suggest if you're early in prog and still learning the fight just focus 100% on dodging

#

don't worry about doing damage

sinful sluice
#

kyveza gimmicks seems quite easy compared to other bosses

#

i mean ovinax to be specific

tribal blade
#

princess is a really well designed boss imo

sinful sluice
#

yeah

tribal blade
#

you require 0 weakauras

#

and it's straight forward

sinful sluice
#

you know when you set portals correctly

#

you can just let your hand go from keyboard

tribal blade
#

haha yeah

sinful sluice
#

and gets pulled on middle perfectly

#

it feels so beautiful haha

tribal blade
#

so long as you don't stand too close to the one on her

#

you'll be fine

sinful sluice
#

the designs

tribal blade
#

the main thing about her is just live

sinful sluice
#

yeah

#

its quite easy now compared to pre nerf versions

#

at least feels easy

#

we tried about 2 hrs today and saw 30%

#

hopefully can kill tmrw

tribal blade
#

yeah it's not so bad

#

once you get the gist of the fight

#

so long as people aim charges correctly and press defensives and dodge

#

she'll die

sinful sluice
#

i heard the damage was so fucking bad that you couldnt live out even if you used everything

#

before nerf

tribal blade
#

yeah it was a crazy fight prenerf

#

they had to 1 tank it in RWF

#

and use bresses on the tank

sinful sluice
#

haha

tribal blade
#

so they could have the extra dps

sinful sluice
#

mad tactics

tribal blade
#

ovinax was the same way prenerf, really really hard

#

but i would rather prog princess 1000% over ovinax

#

any day of the week

sinful sluice
#

oviax was really fun as well

#

just the boss is way too laggy

tribal blade
#

i wish i could go back in time and prog that fight as sub

#

i had no idea caustic spatter was the main cause of my lag on it

#

doing it on reclear as sub and i have WAY less lag when the adds come out now

sinful sluice
#

i heard if you turn off cell and details it helps a lot

#

main lag comes from details trying to calculate the dot dmg of all classes on adds

tribal blade
#

yeah turning off details usually does help a lot on every fight

#

my entire raid team set up details specially when there was insane fps drops and lag on queen at the start of the tier

#

there's a setting where you can turn the rate at which details updates

sinful sluice
#

yeah

tribal blade
#

and turn it to the slowest update possible

#

that seemed to help

sinful sluice
#

tbh i upgraded my PC just for this boss haha

tribal blade
#

lol fair enough

sinful sluice
#

it kept on sluttering so i couldnt handle it

#

0 regrets tho

#

feels so much better to play

tribal blade
#

yeah it makes a big difference

vale pine
tribal blade
#

i'm doing more dps playing sub on it now

vale pine
#

i mean

#

you could

#

play trickster

tribal blade
#

because not losing half my globals when all the adds are out=more deeps 😉

vale pine
#

sry i mean fatebound

tribal blade
#

i think the issue was with caustic

#

at least that's what scath said

vale pine
#

isn't it caustic in combination with stuff like

tribal blade
#

oh in combination with DS?

#

i have no idea, but i wouldn't be surprised

#

BUT prog for ovi is over, so just playing sub on it works well

#

also the warr on my raid team is really happy to not be parried anymore on the fight hahaha

vale pine
#

i assumed singular focus

#

to be a big contributor
