and you dont dance without symbols

#

and you dont flag and sblade without also having those cds

#

obviously there are exceptions to that

#

like when you need to send naked symbols

#

hence the 80% thing

topaz raptor
#

Both to 50 at the same time works better for a lot of groups

#

It means any CDs will cover both

warm hare
lilac stag
rustic geyser
#

we doin things

tribal blade
#

i felt bad at first but then remembered i'm doing this shit on like 14-15 haha

#

so the tree takes so much longer to phase

#

it's actually such a conundrum, whenever i send my cds on pull into the boss the tree takes too long to phase

#

and when i send all my cds on pull into the tree the tree phases way too fast to get cds back

#

and since i'm pugging i can't predict what the other dps are gonna do

lilac stag
#

I enjoy that there are CD choices with those packs into boss, but it really is all over the place in a pug with what is most beneficial.

#

at least for vault keys it won’t matter in the end

tribal blade
#

you kinda need to discuss it beforehand with the other dps

#

because if say you're playing with an ele playing 3 min ascendance

#

they can't send on pull and have to sit on their cd

lilac stag
#

NA pugs you’re luck for a “hey”. Hahaha

tribal blade
#

so you're better off putting everything into the tree on pull

tribal blade
#

although once you get into higher keys people actually respond to that shit haha

lilac stag
#

I think we also hit the drop off point where people don’t care about m+

#

just a task

#

Unless you’re pushing

tribal blade
#

this season is very tough

#

for pushing

#

i'm starting to see the breakpoint of where people who aren't title caliber are getting stuck

#

around the ~3100 range

#

or the mid 3100

#

this season is very unforgiving on mistakes

#

i've been invited by 2 seperate groups of players to push with them this week for a few keys

#

who are around that IO

#

and they can't cut it, it's pretty bad on their end

lilac stag
#

our shaman hit 3000 and just said fuck it

tribal blade
#

3k in itself is a feat

lilac stag
#

I still need to get my portals, but actual desire to do so is sooooooo low. I want to game to have fun and it’s just not.

tribal blade
#

i helped a friend do a 13 CoT today to push his key back up, and the players you get for 13s are pretty horrendous

#

i can't imagine what it's like at 10

lilac stag
#

interrupts are usually the issue at 10-11

#

I can carry boss dmg

tribal blade
#

yeah interrupts are once again vitally important

#

since they changed how cc works

#

i actually just recently set up a focus kick WA

#

and tailored it to my needs

#

it's helped a LOT

lilac stag
#

nice

#

I did that for worms on ghuun

tribal blade
#

mostly having a TTS saying "kick" every time my focus casts

#

helps me so much

lilac stag
#

I’m hoping s2 gets better

tribal blade
#

i was struggling with kicks recently, and now it's mostly fixed

#

haha next season is looking hard already

lilac stag
#

could also be season change shit too brining mental down

tribal blade
#

the dungeon pool is rough

lilac stag
#

darkness at 4pm is no good

topaz raptor
#

yeah the dungeon pool feels like it is just overwhelming aoe damage

#

every single key is just insane amounts of aoe damage hitting the whole group

#

if you never wipe, your damage doesn't matter because the timers are so easy

#

but you can make up for a wipe by doing good damage i guess lol

lilac stag
#

tuning, as always, gonna be interesting.

#

I wonder what the devs think of how this season’s balancing has gone.

vestal escarp
#

Im gonna do 10s next season

#

Already decided

#

Unless sub is turbometa

#

Shit rotation

#

Mechagon and junkyard i hate them so much

topaz raptor
#

mage somehow became the worst

vestal escarp
#

Cleft and priory already felt like shit

short radish
#

fuck doing ToP

lilac stag
#

I haven’t even looked at the loot pool, what are trinkets looking like?

short radish
hollow snow
#

i dont see any 1.5 trinkets

lilac stag
#

ToP makes me want to strangle myself.

vestal escarp
#

Theater was shit only in high ranges

#

For me

hollow snow
#

theater pvp minigame kekw

vestal escarp
#

I know i can tolerate a 10 next season

hollow snow
#

triple dr cheap shot

lilac stag
topaz raptor
#

save flag and blades for the pvp minigame

vestal escarp
#

Thats gonna be fun

#

Flag boss

hollow snow
#

the pvp flag boss is the only fun part

vestal escarp
#

Go down

#

Cb sectech the guy

#

Get up

hollow snow
#

dance symbol sectec gg

#

wonder if itll bug out if you vanish down there

tribal blade
#

ToP is a complicated dungeon

#

doing that place at title range was truly hell on earth

sly shore
#

I think it was one of the best MDI viewing dungeons though

#

Every team had a different strats

tribal blade
#

it's interesting to watch because the routing is quite unique

sly shore
#

there was basically zero teams who did it the same way

#

was crazy to watch

tribal blade
#

yeah everyone had different ideas on how to min max the banners

#

that was a big part of the routing

#

also how you got lust where you needed it

hollow snow
#

always had to have a dk

tribal blade
#

considering you could go several different ways

hollow snow
#

to MC the buff bro

tribal blade
#

i have had so many bricks in that place to bronn

#

spawning on pvp boss

#

you jump down after the boss

#

and bronn or a pet runs down the corridor and pulls the pat you shrouded

#

and key's over

hollow snow
#

lmao that sounds goated

tribal blade
#

bronn was a true menace

sly shore
#

the pvp boss omegakekW

#

"Okay I will die fast"

#

proceeds to unload my entire rotation and stun lock them

tribal blade
#

dude watching people actually try to fight each other

sly shore
#

aka I lied

tribal blade
#

when you're trying to get them back up asap to kill the boss and banner

#

was infuriating

#

dude i do remember sub was complete dogshit on the 1st boss

#

like, so bad

sly shore
#

Unless you pulled the trash on it

tribal blade
#

yeah true, i forgot about that

#

but once the trash was dead

#

you're just doing no damage

#

well, WERE

sly shore
#

not any more

tribal blade
#

sub will be fine on that boss now

sly shore
tribal blade
#

perfectly fine

#

that's a trickster key if i've ever seen one

#

flurry is gonna fix so many issues sub had in that entire key

sly shore
#

if they rework trickster

#

at least keep flurry

lilac stag
#

accurate prayer

tribal blade
#

do you think they'd rework trickster? i feel like DS would be the main target

#

because DS is fucking horrible

#

but trickster also needs some love

lilac stag
#

how “horrible” is it on assa

sly shore
#

I'd rather see trickster be build entirely around sectech

tribal blade
#

it's mostly the mark system

#

is so bad

sly shore
#

cos pressing bs in aoe

tribal blade
#

it's actually such a dogshit system

sly shore
#

🤢

tribal blade
#

yeah i want to see UB be procced by storm

lilac stag
#

outlaw is using fate ye?

tribal blade
#

yeah 100%

#

they can't use trickster sadly

lilac stag
#

Tweak each for each spec and don’t reinvent the wheel

tribal blade
#

coup is complete grief on trickster

#

outlaw*

lilac stag
#

I’d be curious if anyone who is big feels for sub actually doesn’t like trickster and wants to run DS (more than just thematically)

#

the rupturing kills me

tribal blade
#

i don't miss playing DS as sub at all

#

because building to 7 CPs during dance for DN is so bad

upper narwhal
#

honestly coup isn't the problem for Outlaw Trickster anymore, it's the reliance on Killing Spree, horrid talent

tribal blade
#

also needing to cast evis for no aoe dam is pretty bad

tribal blade
#

fuu was saying that's the highest priority rogue change that needs to happen

lilac stag
#

people used to not have an issue with KS. Now everyone old and arthritic and KS sucks. Haha

tribal blade
#

i loved KS back in the day

#

but that was when it was combat

lilac stag
#

ye

tribal blade
#

so the rotation was piss easy

vivid cobalt
#

Did they announce the s2 dungeons?

tribal blade
#

fun fact, they're bringing back mechagon workshop AGAIN

#

because bringing it back during S4 SL wasn't enough

#

i'm actually in shock at that decision

lilac stag
#

Mental fart, I enjoyed outlaw when you were going for red buff

#

Legit can’t remember talent

tribal blade
#

uhhhhh

lilac stag
#

Internal memory leak hahaha

tribal blade
#

bandit's guile?

lilac stag
#

Ye

tribal blade
#

that was a weird system

lilac stag
#

I liked trying to game around it

tribal blade
#

it was strangely convoluted

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

have to keep the theme going for rogue

#

nothing can be simple

lilac stag
#

I genuinely don’t know what your would do with the spec to keep the 80 apm zoomers happy and actually slow the spec to grow and develop more.

#

I’d really like to see assa get more emphasis on casting bleeds as well.

tribal blade
#

there's some simple things i would like to see happen to sub

#

35 energy storm again

#

storm affects WM and inev

#

maybe buff deepening

#

those 3 changes i would be very happy

lilac stag
#

WM flurry

tribal blade
#

AND all the bug fixes yes 😉

#

is WM not flurrying a bug?

#

i think it is

lilac stag
#

who knows

#

Intent matters

tribal blade
#

it's so weird how with sub we have so many things that should interact, but they don't

lilac stag
#

I’d love to seem them iterate on the bugs and then make tweaks

#

The current base of trickster is very good

#

Storm outside of dance energy is awful

tribal blade
#

i feel like bug fixing is way more difficult for them to do

#

considering how rare it is they actually bug fix

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

or give a storm talent in the tree that reduces cost or whatever

#

choices

tribal blade
#

i think they should just revert it back to 35

#

it started there

#

bring it back

lilac stag
#

I agree, but also thinking ok a middle ground

tribal blade
#

that's fair 😉

#

they could literally tack it onto an existing talent

#

i dunno, imp storm

#

boom

haughty mural
#

didnt even realized as i went from rs to wm for some keys

lilac stag
#

Just random thought, I wonder how much of a concern is with lowering the cost that it would make “funnel” too good again.

They could do some shit where cost stays the same, but finishers excluding evicerate refunds energy

haughty mural
#

because i cba to deal with the bug anymore

lilac stag
#

so you would be encouraged to get your ruptures out and maybe press BP outside of dance without it feeling awful

haughty mural
#

well i'm not too surprised tho kekdog

short radish
lilac stag
#

Oh I totally get that, but I rather seem them try to work in some way to make BP useful which I think they could do

short radish
#

just give another 35% buff to BP

#

surely this time will make it good

lilac stag
#

Or charge it up per evicerate cast

short radish
#

for longer than 3 days

#

each target hit by BP makes your next evis do 12% more damage?

#

up to 5 targets

lilac stag
#

No. Each evicerate cast adds a charge (pick a dmg amp percent) to Bp dmg

hazy breach
#

Thing about DS is that the eviscerate from darkest night actually does more than BP up until very high target counts

lilac stag
#

Stack up to 3 / 5 times whatever

hazy breach
#

But i feels real bad since its only a pure ST spell

short radish
#

mhmm true

#

i dunno

#

i just miss bp spam

#

was very mongo bongo

#

dont need to worry about positioning

lilac stag
#

I’d just like a little more interaction so it’s not flat out spam

short radish
lilac stag
#

or just juice it and put it on a CD

short radish
#

except its shuriken storm

#

and black powder

lilac stag
#

30 second BP. Dmg amps per target up to 5 so you’re not using it in ST

#

Big boom

haughty mural
#

and inbetween ?

sinful sluice
#

I wish i never tired assa rogue in m+

#

Now i cannot go back to sub…

#

I know its better in few dungeons but in overall assa feels so much better

lilac stag
#

tweak the Storm cost outside of dance

haughty mural
#

35 would be great

#

*again

hazy breach
#

Idk i think sub feels great rn in dungeons

round latch
#

i love how sub is rn

hazy breach
#

If blades worked on nimble so our aoe burst was a little bit more distinguishable from a pure st one it would be close to perfect

round latch
#

so smooth and cozy

#

also idk whats wrong with 10-11s rn

#

mobs die in 5 seconds

#

i cba bleedding them out

#

no time to juice

grizzled hornet
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
grizzled hornet
#

does anyone encounter a strange interraction during vanish? for example i vanish to ss during opener but it just doesn't allow me as it breaks stealth

haughty mural
round latch
#

i kinda need higher keys now

#

like 12-13

#

qued some 10-11s with surv hunter and boomy

#

packs died in seconds

#

and surv stole my dmg with the stupid bombs

#

ended up losing to the boomy,not by alot but lost still

#

need an ego boost

haughty mural
#

gap them in boss dmg i guess kekdog

round latch
#

sin is average and boomy was 5/8M

#

ended up getting them PIs

#

ill show them how its done next time dw

#

stupid@ss surv

plush roost
#

Just play outlaw hehe

#

You'll wreck everyone in overall when packs die and you're always in subterfuge hehe

round latch
#

im an original outlaw main but no,dont think so

#

dagger guys are much more reasonable

#

too much toxicity in the pirate channel

plush roost
#

Haha

#

Ahem.

#

"Acrobatic Strikes"

hollow snow
#

Yeah survival getting slept on

round latch
#

survival is for ppl that made a mistake picking up hunter and now they want a melee

#

never in my groups from now on

summer mica
#

!up

hard ember
round latch
#

stuff dies in the blink of an eye

hard ember
#

like legit i swear garrote garote kb rupture muti fok env is real

round latch
#

dks,hunters,mages

hard ember
#

yeah i mean in 10s

round latch
#

like even in 10s

#

ive been queitly observing my bleed extends

#

they literally dont juice more than 4-5sec

hard ember
round latch
#

packs get deleted

hard ember
#

on ilevel i think i win here

#

(actually with resto shaman i think i win but whatever)

round latch
#

dont worry about it,it makes sense

#

they steal ur dmg

#

esepcially dks

#

just stupid dmg

#

blows up everything

#

also some cringe@ss tanks chainpulling 2 mobs at a time

#

a considerable factor for killing ur dmg

hard ember
#

i think 2 is fine if they survive long enough enough for you to get sob value

#

i tell the homies that if they're gonna chain actually chain and don't be wishy washy about it

#

like if you're gonna trail a mob at 5% hp into the next pack i will queue my mic and call you names etc

round latch
#

i think its understatement that 2 mob chainpulling kills our dps

hard ember
#

and i could have probably gone even faster

round latch
hard ember
#

like garrote kb rupture is probably real

round latch
#

im always going into buttons depended the density

#

i might go gar=>rup=>fok=>ct mut in 3 mobs

#

to ramp fast

#

my dps averages otu eventually but what u say is legit

#

need to send asap

hard ember
#

tbh if it's not chunky mobs, garrote kb rupture muti ct

#

assumin you get the bonespike

round latch
#

yeah thats a given

hard ember
#

and then depending on how it's going you can choose to not shiv

round latch
#

its the only thing that enables me to

hard ember
#

to hopefully extend the mob's life

round latch
#

yup

hard ember
#

the joke in my guild is "who killed my kingsbane target" whenever we're doin weeklies and anyone gets their cd scuffed by anything dying too fast

#

like whenever someone's ascendance or breath is still going and the pack's dead, or if there's an infernal walking around like a tourist, etc

#

seomthing i've thought about but i haven't done yet is i've considered shivving an off target

#

cuz theoretically your spatter dmg on that target would improve right

#

so you could maybe split the dmg up a bit

#

but it's probably a net neutral/veering towards bad cook

hazy breach
#

Better to just not shiv at all then

#

Usually is better to not shiv even the kb target

#

Unless you really need the prio damage

glossy turtle
#

what talents would you use for mists sub, like up until the first boss? just standart m+ build?=

pliant topaz
#

just the nromal build. take tfd over wm

glossy turtle
#

tfd, wm?

alpine wraith
#

the first dance

pliant topaz
#

the first dance

#

weapon master

glossy turtle
#

thanks

#

and for NW, it would just be pure ST I assume. like a princess build

pliant topaz
#

the main difference between full single target buid is u take shadow focus over improved storm, and u take weapon master over the first dance

#

other than that, u run the same thing everywhere

#

there are no other alternate options really for sub

glossy turtle
#

ah okay

edgy zenith
#

I'm a WM enjoyer. TFD is too annoying for what it's worth

#

especially with the affixes fucking bricking you into combat forever so you can't stealth if orbs spawn at bad time

#

or random combat entrances with the other affix

#

but mists it probably owns

alpine wraith
#

tfd is quite strong but if you dont like it is fine

#

same with tornado

#

fuck that one

edgy zenith
#

tornado OP

#

I'm def bringing that one

dry plank
#

This bugged new affixes are annoying as fuk. It’s break stealth in africa and put you in combat even if your group not fighting

plush roost
#

Tornado was great. I loved season 2. First i pressed tornado. Then, i went to the grocery store. After, i took a shower. Then after that i sit at my PC and check. Oh yes I still have a global to wait for. Then i cook dinner. Then finally the gcd is ready. And I press Dance, Black Powder, Sec Tec, Black Powder, Black Powder. And I feel great

real panther
#

wtf is tfd?

vale pine
#

the first dance

real panther
#

oh ok. And why is it a subject lately? 😄 is it good now? always looked shit to me

grave abyss
#

it got changed last patch and now it's good

real panther
#

good? what gain do you have hover the talent you replace?

uneven scarab
#

its kinda situational but when its good its good

real panther
#

oh ok, seen your edit lol

#

still not a "real" option

hollow snow
#

I just wish the out of combat required to trigger it was lowered

uneven scarab
#

Yeah it should be halved

#

3 seconds instead of 6

hollow snow
#

Random hots will pull you out

#

Cringe

real panther
#

I know i'm controvercial about this but: talent trees are "fake" free will imo

uneven scarab
#

There’s def some truth to that

hollow snow
#

Not very controversial

#

Yea

#

Don't take cold blood

#

gg

real panther
#

I prefere to put a disclaimer in case i get bashed x)

hollow snow
#

No ur right

uneven scarab
#

Its dif for every spec tbh but yeah

#

Like look at assa

#

They have like

hollow snow
#

Sin right now is chillin

uneven scarab
#

15 talent builds

hollow snow
#

Yup

sacred yarrow
hollow snow
#

More like 1500 builds

grave abyss
#

tfd is a good option mostly because weaponmaster kind of doesn't do anything. iirc you only need to get tfd combat resets a handful of times in an M+ for it to be better

uneven scarab
#

Afaik hacha said tfd was even almost worth on a st encounter so yeah

#

Its good

grave abyss
#

of course, in pure single target, you only get tfd once and weaponmaster much more over a fight

hard ember
uneven scarab
#

Tornado some ass

hard ember
#

Weaponmaster makes you feel good in single target which is underrated

hollow snow
#

Tornado gigashit

#

Unless like

real panther
#

tornado boring

hollow snow
#

Mass aoe

#

When the bring algethar academy back

#

Kekw

hard ember
#

i'm sorry, did you mean theater of pain - blizzard, actually

#

absolutely ridiculous

hollow snow
#

Ayo take theatre of pain and give us academy

uneven scarab
#

Top goated tho

#

Cmon

hollow snow
#

Pvp mini game goated

hard ember
#

if you measure fun by how often you can kidney your friends, yeah it's pretty great

hollow snow
#

That's it

uneven scarab
#

I love that dungeon

hard ember
#

otherwise not really

keen dome
#

The year is 2028. We are in the final season of Midnight. It's brought Al'geth back. The same season Blizz removed Tornado from Sub. dracthyr_kek

hollow snow
#

Like even halls of atonement

#

Blizz pls

keen dome
#

ALL HALLS

hard ember
uneven scarab
#

Just make it an actual aoe ability pls

keen dome
#

They have the potential to do the single funniest april fools joke in gaming history

#

Which is make the ALL HALLS a reality for a week during april fools.

hard ember
#

tbh like if it refunded combo points when you pressed BP in dance or soemthing that could be fine i guess

hollow snow
#

Yo are there even any 1.5 min agi trinkets in the m+ loot table season 2?

#

I never checked

hard ember
#

uh nothing from workshop or top i don't think

#

nothing from motherlode for sure

hollow snow
#

I don't recall the new ones having it either

uneven scarab
#

Yeah i think fuu said it might be looking bleak

#

For 1.5 on uses

hollow snow
#

Ok gg

uneven scarab
#

Bigtime gg

hard ember
#

are the raid trinkets previewed yet

hollow snow
#

Guys ping me at fated

uneven scarab
#

We lose tier set and 1.5 min trinket

hard ember
#

maybe there will be something there 💀

uneven scarab
#

Its joever

alpine wraith
#

tier set is not that big

hard ember
#

okay like relax it's a first tier of expac tier set you'll live

alpine wraith
#

but yea transmitter will be a fun one to replace

hollow snow
#

I'm not paying 200k to the bm hunter that rolls need on a 1.5 trinket ever again

hard ember
#

yeah it'll be really fun to not have a buggy minigame NODDERS

uneven scarab
#

Next tier set full flat profile inc

real panther
hard ember
#

time for a GLOOMBLADE tier set DIESOFCRINGE

uneven scarab
#

i do think its funny deathstalker ended up playing gloom

#

makes sense tho

hard ember
#

i mean what was holding it back was actually flensing

hollow snow
#

on god if the 4pc bonus reduced the cost of shuriken id buy Activision stock

hard ember
#

gloom didn't proc it

#

just backstab OMEGALUL

uneven scarab
#

What else is new

hard ember
#

that's a certified blizzard hood classic for sure

uneven scarab
#

Rogue talents working??

#

Nahh fam

hard ember
#

no, they work, see mandate + lingering kapp

#

like what were they thinking man

uneven scarab
#

yes very intended

hazy breach
#

WM is practically useless on anything that isnt pure ST, and even in a pure 5 min ST sim tfd isnt very far behind it

alpine wraith
#

yea tfd if you even can get 2 procs every 6 min it is very worth

hazy breach
#

Which you are going to get in pretty much every dungeon

ornate quest
#

I've noticed that my Secret Technique triggers before my Cold Blood on my macro. is there a way to fix it?

hazy breach
#

Place cold blood before it in the macro

ornate quest
#

it is before

hazy breach
#

But CB isnt going on cd until you cast a spell, so youre probably just seeing it not being on cd and thinking its not getting used

ornate quest
#

oh, that may be why. I just look at my cooldown tracker and notice that secret technique enters cooldown before Cold blood

glossy turtle
#

3x^2-12x+11

#

can I send blades, and cds in mits first boss? thinking for keys above 12. Like will I get them back in time usually for lust phase?

alpine wraith
#

nope you wont get back them usually

glossy turtle
#

damn

alpine wraith
#

but you can do that anyway

#

to help get droman to 20% what i do is send cds on ingra and just let cleave go into droman

glossy turtle
#

yeeah

alpine wraith
#

then when it breaks i send mandate and likely have cb again

glossy turtle
#

hmm ok

#

but if I just cleave the tree dude, down and focus boss. it still wont result in blades coming back up in time?

alpine wraith
#

well depends most people dont bother to phase him super late

glossy turtle
#

yeah I mean only if I did it

sly shore
#

If you're not sending cd's on ingra don't bother doing the key

#

simples

glossy turtle
sly shore
#

the sequence of words in that sentence

#

are accurate

glossy turtle
#

so what if I only sent cds on ingra translates to me not wanting to send cds on ingra?

sly shore
#

?

glossy turtle
#

have you read the whole thing?

sly shore
#

yes

#

are you alright

glossy turtle
#

so what suggests I dont want to send cds on ingra?

pulsar sky
#

guys which are the best 2 embellishment for sub rogue?

sly shore
#

Guess you got lost in translation thinking I said you didn't

glossy turtle
sly shore
#

the conclusion to be drawn from what I said is to send on ingra no matter what

topaz raptor
#

You can’t send blades on droman

sly shore
#

I never suggested what time in the fight to send them

topaz raptor
#

50-60s is standard

sly shore
#

Not having cds for the biggest burst phase is not a good idea

#

Sub rogue is probably the burstiest spec in the game rn

#

You really want to capitalize on that

#

You can send a dance or two on tree, as long as you can guarantee your cds for ingra

#

The ideal way to play the boss as sub is to use CDs on the boss on pull and then have the amp phase at 1:30 > next amp phase at 3:00

left ledge
#

Yes but that will never happen

#

Unless your group coordinates that

#

Tree usually phases too early

hazy breach
#

Its usually 1:10-1:15

left ledge
#

For a 12?

hazy breach
#

Prob not for a 12

left ledge
#

Yeah well if you’re doing higher ofc it’ll be group dependent

#

But for most pug keying around 12 just save for the burn

alpine wraith
#

usually you wont 1 phase him in random pug anyway

#

so yea just slam it

left ledge
#

Nah you won’t 1 phase but second phase will prob be very low

#

I would very much take comp into consideration too

patent crystal
#

do u need to hit small adds in p3 ansurk to actually do dmg to them, feels like my sectech isnt hitting them when i use on boss

alpine wraith
#

if they are far enough you wont hit them yes

hazy breach
#

Sectech typically wont hit them unless theyre like ring of peace close

#

But your nimble cleave is gonna hit them if you stand inbetween them and the boss

patent crystal
#

okay thanks

hazy breach
#

Typically though youre there for the boss damage, and it can be a good idea to stand on the opposite side to try to bait webs there

#

Depends on how much add vs boss dmg you have ofc

glossy turtle
#

@hazy breach do you play sub throughout all dungeons or just sub on some?

lucid jackal
#

Probably only sub

hazy breach
#

I think its fine to play in all keys

#

But GB and SV i play assa in when pushing

#

And first half of nw

glossy turtle
#

I dont play it was just wondering? 🙂 idk if shuriken storm was less cost I think I would try sub

glossy turtle
hazy breach
#

I dont feel like it matters much with the cost

hazy breach
glossy turtle
#

yeah

#

thought you meant sub for first half

hazy breach
#

Ye assa first half

#

Sub for last half

fallow nimbus
#

The assa rogue explained to me what he has to do with DN to not lose marks at queen mythic

#

Who plays that must be insane

glossy turtle
vale pine
#

most streamers play assassiantion

#

kush sometimes switches to sub for fun

#

also causualaddict and some switch in certain dungeons to sub mid key

#

assassination is just overall the stronger option and sub is as such not that popular

glossy turtle
#

I also plan to stick with assa, i just wanted to see what it looked like in a high key environment. Like 15 and up

#

Iill check out kush

lilac stag
#

it will look the same as in 12+ keys. Get a few ruptures out. Burst down a target. Rinse and repeat.

glossy turtle
#

Yeah but its mostly just what happens when trash lasts a long time

lilac stag
#

you send cds if it takes them down. You hold if they’re almost dead.

#

There’s generally not a lot of thinking with it.

#

Dance and SoD are short

#

Relatively speaking

glossy turtle
#

Ig with 2 charges of dance, and 3 with symvols you dont go deal that fast, orr?

#

Like i mean run out of energy

lilac stag
#

you have no energy outside of dance.

#

During dance you really don’t worry much

scarlet trellis
#

anyone else vanish just break randomly after cloaking

#

You likely still took dmg or hit shadowstrike too quickly.

check logs

does Bubbling wax out scale Whetstones still?

#

Hello can i macro symbol of Death and shadow dance or is thst terrible

hazy breach
#

Its not great

#

You want to use them seperately everytime when you do your second dance in your burst

#

Ahh

hazy breach
#

And/or when your sectech has more than 10s left, in which case you'd end up spending your superchargers on eviscerates and not sectech

Which isnt ideal

Can somebody explain this coup de grac thing to me, is it just saying to send evis on like 1 CP?

hazy breach
#

You can send it at any CP

#

And it counts as +5

#

So 7 = 12, 6 = 11 etc

quaint lodge
#

So whats the play with it? Just send it higher, or use it after one builder?

lucid jackal
#

send it like u would normal finishers

quaint lodge
#

Okay, thanks 🙂

#

Learning sub feels weird, the shadow dances feel nice, but the downtime feels so bad

lucid jackal
#

That's not a bug, that's a feature!

quaint lodge
#

Yipee!

#

I love sending backstab off cd for 15 second!

lucid jackal

YESSIR!

lmfao

I'd take that tradeoff. Weaker downtime for bigger burst Smile

# quaint lodge Spamming backstab

Aftering playing assa a bunch I'm used to moments of pooling, sometimes I'll just pool as sub with 5 combo points and wait to finish

#

not for any logical reason

#

it's just what I've trained my brain to do

quaint lodge
#

Pooling on assass has options though and decisions to make, pooling on sub is just sitting there praying for ur next hit

#

Just need to chill outside of CDs. Not like you’re gonna be doing the same amount of damage as you would during those major CDs with dance/SoD/ST alone

prime glen
#

i noticed warcraftlogs has a lot of people using transmittor and void reapers over the double on use

#

is that optimal? or certain bosses? or could be due to drops/not clearing mythic raid and getting the drop?

wind canopy
#

Why would you want double on-use when you have transmitter covering your 1.5 min CDs? Aside from maybe using Mad Queen’s Mandate?

#

In dungeons, when fighting packs of 7+ enemies, am I supposed to strictly use shuriken to build cp? Not sure when to use shuriken over ss/backstab on different packs. Is my objective to spread the cleave nimble fury debuff?

hazy breach
#

Shadowstrike in dance (or when its available with vanish/restealths)

#

Shuriken storm outside dance if there are 2 or more targets

thick temple
hazy breach
#

Fazed has nothing to do with nimble

thick temple
#

O

hazy breach
#

Its flawless form, a buff on you that enables it

#

Yes its stupid that theres multiple debuffs/buffs

#

But it is what it is

thick temple
#

Maybe need to reread

#

What's the debuff I'm spreading onto hit enemies called

#

Lastly, if there is ever more than 2 targets on screen, there is no reason to backstab?

lucid jackal
prime glen
lucid jackal
#
  • Theres Unseen blade, which procs fazed on the target and grants 1 stack of Escallating Blade, which is Coup
  • Fazed is a debuff that causes the target to take bonus damage, and be unparryable
  • Flawless form is a buff that is given to you when you proc Unseen Blade, or use Secret Technique. It stacks but doesn't refresh and gives you finisher damage, and activates Nimble Flurry

Transmitter and then any 2nd trinket really

#

Contract, Egg, Mandate

#

They all kinda do the same thing, have their own pros and cons

fair stump
#

How does warcraftlogs assign a parse without seeing the log itself on M+?

hazy breach
#

Because the "parses" are based of the key level and how fast you did it

#

Not how much damage you did

fair stump
#

Oh

#

What's the metric for raids?

hazy breach
#

How much dps damage you did

fair stump
#

So the parse % is dps across all ilvls?

hazy breach
#

Yes

fair stump
#

I see, thanks

you want contract cause the proc looks the coolest 2ez

i wish some of this seasons boss/item procs would be for abilities of rogue

iterate on it for future seasons

and not throw it all away

there was a interview recently about rewards in s2

they are happy with how delves work out, what surprises me tbh

I had it all recorded and everything but then the fight became so easy I felt theres no point in it :(

i want to watch it

#

Next szn Ill probably do it the day of the kill

#

Or day after

#

Since we did reallyw ell this tier

#

I just wasn't expecting us to do so well ig

tepid trellis
#

just do a cooldown explanation video

#

farm the rev

#

going over like Silken and Queen

#

prolly alot of people that get confused on those

alpine wraith
#

yea those are the ones i havent done yet

#

still stuck in silken jail

tepid trellis
#

make a video explaining how you go into bosses and what you look for and prepare

#

that would be good

#

for lower wr people

#

deff has an audience

lucid jackal
#

Do ppl care still

tepid trellis
#

most of the people who would watch are not HoF players xD

lucid jackal
#

also I can't even do a good silken CD usage video because our guild does the worst strat of all time and trolls my cooldowns as hard as possible

#

I could do a queen video tho

short radish
#

isnt it still open

vernal yoke
#

Does The Rotten make both Weaponmaster shadowstrikes crit, if it procs? Anyone know?

lucid jackal
#

P sure it just got filled this week

#

I think over 100 guilds killed is just this week

short radish
#

with 2 days

lucid jackal
#

Yeah

#

It was like 35? 40 or something pre nerf

#

the nerfs made the boss soooo easy

short radish
#

also theres still another 1000 guilds that will kill this between now and end of tier

#

thats like 800 rogues who want to watch your video

lucid jackal
#

LOL true

#

Might as well upload it I guess

#

I can on Tuesday

short radish
#

ayyyyy

lucid jackal
#

Busy the next few days

#

im hoping it doesnt fill this week

#

so we have a shot at hof

rapid crystal
#

maybe i am dumb and don't understand something again, but sometimes when I am doing group content I get a combo point while auto attacking. Is this some latency stuff where a "forgotten" shadow techniques CP was added late or am I missing something?

Its the talent called replicating shadow

#

It just causes it to happen

#

huh okay 😄

round latch
#

isnt first 200 for HoF?

tepid trellis
#

yes

round latch
#

that means its still open sus

hazy breach
#

Its very possible 19 guilds could kill it today

round latch
#

yup sure,was jut moved by what guy said

hazy breach
#

Or well, 23 guilds i guess

#

Since the official HoF is what matters

tepid trellis
#

to me

#

HoF is still only top 100

#

cannot change my mind

short radish
#

lots of fake chinese guilds

lucid jackal
#

WEll the chinese guilds aren't fake

#

It's that blizard has to manually add them

round latch
#

fact is hof is still open mr Guy

#

😅

lucid jackal
#

17 guilds easily kill it today lol

#

Over 100 guilds have killed it this week

#

and with it closing they are going to add today

round latch
#

yeah but u claimed it just closed,im not saying they cant

lucid jackal
#

fair

round latch
#

with all the love in the world ofc 🫶

tepid trellis

there are "bus" guilds

#

which they remove

tribal blade
#

my guild just started silken prog, surely we're gonna get HoF right

alpine wraith
#

silken is annoying im there jailed

tribal blade
#

it feels alright to me so far

#

the most annoying thing was my ISP was shitting the bed the entire day today

vale pine
#

surely

tribal blade
#

so i was lagging and it would fuck up my opener

#

my favorite part is shrouding across the room to give both teams shroud 🙂

tepid trellis
#

silken is a chill boss

#

no rng really

tribal blade
#

and yet someone people still find a way to not make it in the ring in time

tepid trellis
#

just the same shit over and over again

tribal blade
#

yeah feels pretty good so far

alpine wraith
#

tell priests to mind soothe

#

dont be lazy

tribal blade
#

haha they are mind soothing

#

i honestly have no idea how people aren't making it in time

#

i keep telling them i'm giving everyone shroud

#

which is 100% increased move speed

#

and you can stand right up against the boss with mind soothe AND shroud going

keen dome
#

Maybe they're scared of bugs

tribal blade
#

maybe

tepid trellis
#

even without shroud

#

if its mindsoothed

#

you can almost walk into its hitbox

yeah you can literally be kissing the bosses

cool cool

i went sub for the amp gaming

#

after playing sin on all other bosses

hazy breach
#

12s of amp is annoying for sub

fierce minnow
#

oh and no deathstalkers mark cringe

hazy breach
#

Since you typically have roughly 12 seconds inbetween your sectechs

#

So 14 or 15s wouldve been significantly better

tepid trellis
#

just afk a bit before

#

store up some ShT

fierce minnow
#

just auto attacking is a valid strategy for sub

#

its so funny

I prefer sub on silken court just so I don't have to deal with deathstalkers mark

u can always be coinflipin'

high roll very poggers low roll,chatting with the tanks

alpine wraith
#

yea that is a secret tech i wanted to explain

#

to just save sht for the long bursts

#

"just think about everything you do now will be less than doing double there"

fierce minnow
#

always did that for intermission on fyrakk and went in there with 14 stacks

#

whats really annoying is nimble flurry range

alpine wraith
#

im in red team so i dont even hit the mobs ahaha

fierce minnow
#

if the 2 bosses arent stacked very close you dont hit both

alpine wraith
#

nimble is coming from you so you have to be closer sometimes yes

fierce minnow
#

yeah same, i barely hit any mobs

#

ye and being closer is dangerous if you collide with a blue

#

or being too close in the middle so you catch a dispell

#

wasnt there something about its range being fixed soon?

alpine wraith
#

dont think so

fierce minnow
#

or was that just aknowledged that it didnt get the same range treatment blade flurry got

hazy breach
fierce minnow
#

ah damn

#

pirates

#

for that particular reason, caustic is better on that boss

#

or ovinax

#

it just hits everything more easily

sly shore
#

Ours is red team so blue team don't hit them

fierce minnow
#

damn, ours is blue

alpine wraith
#

dk on red is weird with so many ranged there

fierce minnow
#

so our enhancer (also blue) just destroys all those adds in seconds

alpine wraith
#

but no idea

sly shore
#

4 melee either side anyway

alpine wraith
#

usually adds will survive a bit always because they spawn with 80% dr

#

but not a lot

gaunt vortex
#

Yo is there a reason why most people cloak acid rain at 1.27 and not on pull? Looking at court logs

alpine wraith
#

to not spawn motes

#

also to not get 2 stacks of acid rain

#

you cloak either 2 or 3 cast

gaunt vortex
#

I was using it on 1st cast but what is the diff between 1st and 2-3rd, less space?

tepid trellis
#

set is more annoying than the first one

alpine wraith

the time between 1 and 2 lets debuff go away

is assa and outlaw rly better at st then sub?

I thought sub was kinda thé single target spec

of the 3

in terms of single target

tepid trellis
#

so on a close to 100% uptime boss

#

yes it would not be the best

#

Outlaw ST is actually pretty bangin. Did some 4fun outlaw keys and every boss i did 1.4-1.5 mil dam too

glossy turtle
#

huh. I was soo sure it would have been sub on top. But I havent played much rogue in raid, mostly DH

haughty mural
#

just crit more coups and sectechs Clueless

plush roost
#

True

#

Just get lucky

#

!

glossy turtle
#

so is it every optimal to play sub, on anything else then queen?

tribal blade
#

the issue with sub right now is the downtime is way too punishing it feels like

tepid trellis
#

optimal is a weird word

#

if you wanted to be "optimal" you would have to swap on a boss per boss basis

haughty mural
#

a little juice to deepening could help

tepid trellis
#

but then you would also need to EQUALLY good on all 3 specs

#

which nobody are

#

and equally good gear for all 3

#

and then go fuck it all on last two

#

and play sub

tribal blade
#

you can exclude the first half of the raid because it doesn't really matter

tepid trellis
#

on those

tribal blade
#

what you play on those bosses

modest river
#

!up

glossy turtle
#

but ig theyre not

tepid trellis
#

but would have made u think sub would be better?

sub does well in any scenario that includes damage amps, if you tune sub to be on par with everything else on a normal basis, it will be a smolderon situation all over again

tepid trellis

tbh

and it doesn't stop

near junco
#

I just asked in the assassination channel, but can not get a clear answer: When is an ability AOE for feint purposes? Is it indicated by 'Radius' on the wowhead page for an ability?

For example: Heaving Retch from Blightbone in NW. Someone said "It is not AOE because it is targeted" and right after, someone else says "It is AOE if it damages in an area of effect".

But Heaving retch targets someone and becomes a cone of damage after. So is this an AOE and will feint reduce the damage by 40% or is it not? This is why it would be nice to go of an indicator on wowhead for the spell. Or have a list of abilities that feint reduces by 40%.

alpine wraith
#

the answer is: you have to search or ask

#

because there are a lots of things that may seem aoe but are nt

near junco
#

Yeah, that's why i'm trying to find out on wowhead. The only thing I can think of that indicates AOE is the 'radius' indicator (f.e. in this image for heaving retch)

glossy turtle
tribal blade
#
near junco
#

I know about the 1 sec cloak interaction because it is an attack and not a spell, but i'm just wondering for feint now

tribal blade
#

you can use this site

near junco
#

Oh, great!! That's perfect, tysm.

#

Because spew disease from rotspew is also very weird to me

tribal blade
#

seems like spew disease is not aoe dam

#

since if you click on/off elusiveness the damage taken changes

near junco
#

Yeah, i've died to spew disease with feint up

#

because 20% was not enough

#

the pool it leaves is aoe, the ability itself is targeted

tribal blade
#

interestingly the site doesn't take into account that if you use evasion on the heaving wretch you dodge it completely

#

thankfully this season isn't really a big 1 shot type of season

#

like in previous seasons

#

S3 of DF was a crazy one for 1 shots

#

literally everything was a 1 shot

#

i have bad news

i mostly don't like it because it looks visually like ass to me

but the consecrates on those mobs

#

how is sub compared to assa in delves ? i try to solo them

lilac stag
#

ez

way easier because you can perma tricks brann

you’re also more tanky

yeah double the amount of vers

#

as trickster

with so tricky talented in the hero tree

it basically turns brann into a tank for you, but you have to put up with him trying to perma kite mobs

and then yelling at you when he starts inting and you're dying
