nice

#

fantastic

short radish
#

yep

#

they'll fix it

#

surely

turbid saddle
#

also isnt it supposed to not use the stored cps when u have blades active?

#

since it gets u full cp anyways

tribal blade
#

i'm not so sure spymasters is much better

#

seeing the "I LOST MY SPYMASTERS" any time a ranged dies is funny

short radish
#

true but the only hoop they have to jump through to use trinket

#

is not die

#

which is a very low bar

rustic geyser
#

realistically any time we have to think beyond "press button" there's always some kind of complaint. That trinket from the boss in the BFA underwater raid (wow names are escaping me atm) is a good example. You basically never thought about it, just had to press it twice and still people avoided it so they didn't have to think.

short radish
#

whats worse

#

this trinket

#

or puzzle box

#

the trinket from algathars

rustic geyser
#

puzzle box I refused to use

#

brother, you think I'm going to stop my adad spam?

#

HELL

#

NO

short radish
#

hahaha

rustic geyser
#

I'm ngl I think I've spent so long adading that if i stopped i wouldn't know if the circle was on me or not anymore

#

somewhere in me my internal check for "x effect is on you" is when it follows my adad

#

those bosses that give you debuffs on movement... actual hell

short radish
#

ugh yeah

unkempt trench
#

What's this Akaari's Soul pet/item? This sub rogue just pulled 1.6m dps at Court at 623 ilvl and like 300k of his dps is from this Akaari's Soul???? Should I be getting this?

hazy breach
#

Its secret technique

WHY IS IT SECRET

hit a 65M sectech in raid today

short radish
#

shiet

#

how you get it to combine like that

edgy zenith
#

a tasty WA I edited

there you go

will show your Evis, Coup, and Sectech dam

plush roost
#

its like 100% worth it to run mad queens on court over void reapers contract yea?

short radish
#

probably more like 76.4723%

#

what does sim say

edgy zenith
#

I think if you have both same ilvl, I would use mandate, but they are both very good

fair stump
short radish
#

since sdance and vanish give us a DR does that technically make it a defensive?

lucid jackal
#

Not technically, literally

#

Vanish kinda sucks for damage. I mostly hold it for utility

wind canopy
#

Yeah, it’s one of the reasons why the TCs talk about how tanky sub is

alpine wraith
#

yea

urban ravine
wind canopy
#

5% DR from Fazed + 10% from Fade to Nothing + standard DR from vers like 10% DR from the 20% you might have = a lot of DR right there alone. Add deadened nerves and elusiveness and damn, tanky.

urban ravine
wind canopy
#

It’s fine. People still prefer sin and outlaw over sub so… peeposhrug

urban ravine
#

and people might invite you into keys accidentally thinking that you are sin

wind canopy
heady quartz
#

Is sub that terrible at keys tho

#

Surely the burst has to count for something

urban ravine
#

it's not, most of the people just follow trends

#

i've seen a 10 key party with protpally, enh, frost dk, and disc looking for aug

#

level of insanity

wind canopy
#

They see people in the top keys or MDI running specific specs, they’ll follow that like sheep

tribal blade
#

the tankiness is also very noticable

short radish
#

its also more fun

#

and yeah the burst is really nice

tribal blade
#

i was pretty much playing almost mostly sin for a bit, and when i transitioned back into using sub for stuff i immediately noticed i could take hits that would kill/proc cheat on sin

#

honesly sin's aoe is pretty fun because you have limitless energy and you're doing monster dam, even w/o cds

#

but the ST in M+ talents is hot garbage, i hate it

#

so sub feels overall more fun

short radish
#

yeah

#

i dont mind the downtime in sub

#

because im preparing for big dam

#

downtime in sin is just

#

dont get to play the game lol

tribal blade
#

as soon as you can't put bleeds on a 2nd target sin is just in the dumps

heady quartz
tribal blade
heady quartz
#

Secret tech be hitting for some unholy numbers

#

Yeah no symbols+ no SD = no fun allowed

tribal blade
#

sub on the meters is kinda wild in raid

#

because depending on where you wipe you're either high in dps or low

#

wipe right before next cd set= low dps

#

wipe right after a cd set= high dps

heady quartz
#

Really like it on silken for me haha, the amount of pad dmg is unholy

tribal blade
#

i'm on red so i think that means i don't get to pad as much

#

because of positioning

#

but not really that fussed

heady quartz
#

Mb this is mostly talking about normal / heroic. But not sure why sub gets such a bad rep, spec hits like a truck

#

The non reliance on haste is welcomed as well

tribal blade
#

sub just feels amazing because of cds lining up well

#

honestly sub doesn't do pad damage on court, it's all ethical

#

because you're dumping all your damage into the bosses and cleaving off them,

heady quartz
#

Oh by pad I mean its crazy huge numbers

tribal blade
#

hell yeah 😉

urban ravine
#

yeah it's not like ret pala sending storms - that looks more like a pad

tribal blade
#

yeah if a spec is choosing to do aoe over ST definitely pad

#

but it's 2 bosses too

urban ravine
#

well ret doesnt have much of a choice

#

he can either ST or AoE

heady quartz
#

Hitting a flag boosted full CP secret tech is jizz

urban ravine
#

yeah

#

i just love burst windows when you can just send it

#

not worrying about energy

heady quartz
#

I do feel sub can be highly punished if you mismanaged CDs ( thus poor perception)

#

But otherwise I would take it over outlaw and sin anyday imo

urban ravine
#

well it lines up pretty good

pearl swan
#

any1 have a Fazed simple weakaura?

urban ravine
#

the thing that might punish you - wrong timings to use CDs

#

when you dont reset sec tech and shadow dance

#

it tanks your dps and desyncs symbols from dance

#

but it's just knowledge of the fight

heady quartz
#

Yeah for sure, coming from warrior it's always very tempting to just send CDs but I have come to realize downtime is normal on sub

urban ravine
#

and seeing sectech crit - pure joy

short radish
wicked joltBOT
short radish
#

pick one of them - they should have a wazed WA in there

tribal blade
#

i use LE's, pretty simple

urban ravine
#

im using mainx one but it's for his twitch subs

tribal blade
#

main tracking for trickster is fazed debuff, flawless stacks and unseen blade stacks

#

you can likely get away with not seeing UB stacks

short radish
graceful mulch
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
fierce minnow
#

curiously the only thing of those i do track is unseen blades for coup but not the other 2 😄

tribal blade
#

and you want to track flawless form mostly for nimble, because if flawless form is not up and you're spamming evis in aoe

#

you're basically doing no aoe

#

one of the most common mistakes by sub rogues early in the expac was not tracking flawless, and then they were wondering why their aoe dam was in the toilet

fierce minnow
#

yea true i do have a little glow for flawless form, but i dont really worry about it much

#

the fazed part is kinda like since i always open my dances with sectec first, it already applies fazed no?

tribal blade
#

flawless isn't really an issue in pure ST

#

it's just any time there's more than 1 target

fierce minnow
#

i would be suprised if my fazed uptime was an issue when i just do the regular stuff

#

curious if i missed something

tribal blade
#

tracking flawless means you know when you need to start using backstab to proc it in aoe

#

and also stop using evis and start using BP until flawless is back up

fierce minnow
#

yea thats true

tribal blade
#

i actually have a sound cue for when flawless is 1 second off dropping haha

fierce minnow
#

smart

tribal blade
#

so i know without having to look

#

and start backstabbing

#

i did the same thing for caustic spatter on sin

fierce minnow
#

the most important thing to track is shadow technique stacks tho, to know when a reset of cp will happen beforehand... all that trickster stuff partly plays itself for the most part

#

theres some room to minmax, but you wont be totally useless if you just freestyle

tribal blade
#

yeah tracking sht is good too

#

i think fuu doesn't track it, or he at least said it's not so bad if you don't

#

but then you track sht and watch when the replicating bug happens in real time

#

and get to sit in a puddle of your own tears

fierce minnow
#

bro

#

that bug

#

yesterday i went out of RS for silken court because it drove me nuts

tribal blade
#

yeah you don't need replicating on normal/heroic court

#

likely

fierce minnow
#

mythic court

tribal blade
#

oh right

#

i'm using RS for now, honestly i can take it because i've played with it long enough haha

fierce minnow
#

fuck that talent man, its a literal dps loss to munch 7cp in damage amps imo

#

i thought it can take it, but its so much smoother if you dont have it

#

its not even funny

tribal blade
#

yeah it's pretty horrendous

fierce minnow
#

realz pls

tribal blade
#

i'm gonna try not using actually, you make a good point

fierce minnow
#

i just took shuriken storm talent for more aoe FW xD

tribal blade
#

cdr might be a bit less scuffed w/o it

#

i think you can take imp sht

fierce minnow
#

yeah you can

tribal blade
#

yeah next raid night i try not using RS

fierce minnow
#

doesnt do much tho, those are close in sim dps

#

but the bug is just horrible

tribal blade
#

yes true

fierce minnow
#

just munching one shadowstrike is like 3 million eviscerate lost

tribal blade
#

the thing is rupture does a lot of dammy, so when it spreads onto adds that's quite a bit of cleave

#

but yeah playing w/o the bug feels infinitely better

tepid trellis
#

i played Imp ShT

#

fuck RS

talenting out of RS feels like losing 30 pounds

ah

#

that was causing it

tribal blade
#

it's not really something you can play around reliably, so it seriously tilts people

urban ravine
#

so you lose CPs and resets

tribal blade
#

like kush used to play sub during S3 after the rework, and the RS bug was a factor in him moving away from the spec

tribal blade
#

it's not good

i actually unsubbed from the game for a while

there was no way i was gonna continue giving blizz money for that

for me there were private/personnel/mental issues when I stepped away peeposhrug

tbh i did roll hunter in bfa when they nuked sub

@tribal blade is sub still fucked in ara kara?

tribal blade
short radish
#

i'll report back i guess

tribal blade
#

but the damage was abysmal the last time

short radish
#

doing chill 10s

tribal blade
#

i just play sin in there now, which is actually pretty good because every single boss has adds that you can spread ruptures and get energy back

#

so you don't have to deal with shitty sin pure ST at all in ara

yeah

sub is still fucked there

#

Playing around it vs it not happening are 2 very different things

shy ermine
#

It makes me furious

#

Griefs you during cds

vale pine
shy ermine
#

I know it’s a low impact bug because of how small the player base is for sub

#

And you can technically not take the talent

#

But it made me not want to play sub in dungeons for ages

vale pine
#

the bug is difficult to fix

lilac stag
#

Further proof fuu the forever optimist with “its not that bad” answer for everything that’s a problem. kekdog

vale pine
#

else it would be fixed by now

vale pine
lilac stag
#

easy to fix. Delete rs. Make a better talent.

gray zephyr

If there is no solution, there is no problem 🤪

vale pine
#

replicating is a good talent

lilac stag

not in its current form.

#

and if it’s broken for a year it’s not designed well

#

it was broken from day 1

#

but welcome to sub

#

Fuck all works as intended. OMEGAKEKW

vale pine

something can be well designed and buggy

sub had a lot of buggy stuff

gray zephyr

#

yes

vale pine
#

we can't utialize it well

gray zephyr
#

I tried it once yesterday and it felt good having tons of stored cp, so I had way more eviscerates in my opener

alpine wraith
#

something can be easy to fix but take some time

#

that is where the sub tax comes

#

we are in the why bother prio

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

in other news they broke dark ranger completely

#

and hunter is the most popular class

gray zephyr
alpine wraith

so we are not alone

lilac stag

Is it really optimism or has the brain been washed so clean that it’s the default behavior?

alpine wraith

well more of an objective view kinda

in other news sub masterrace

Oh. Need to see if they added VE entropic to ptr

alpine wraith

look at that outlaw graph

#

also surv hunter same power as sub

lilac stag

#

Imagine if hunters knew how to actually play melee

just if you play sv chances are you know how it works

@jaunty heath do you?

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

he played other classes now i think

fallow nimbus
#

Is ovinax egg simbait?

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

ovi nax is not simbait but also annoying to use

#

you want to keep 20 stacks of the stay and 11 of the move

#

so ideally you get to 20 and adadadada

lilac stag
#

I think sims run at 10 stack avg

alpine wraith
#

think there is a command for the stacks but i cba

lilac stag
#

I’m curious if the on use triggers the other trinket cd

alpine wraith
#

i can try one sec

#

it does not

#

problem is it has 2 min cd so it kinda messes up with transmitter but i guess depending on boss you can macro them

lilac stag
#

It’s just holding the stack so not crazy if you hold for 3 mins

alpine wraith
#

well it is more like for ex in court intermission 2

#

where you use cds

lilac stag
#

sure

alpine wraith
#

but most of the time you can just aaaaad

#

aaaaad

#

ddddddddda

#

seems annoying as f tho

#

2/10 experience

#

you need to move in 1 direction at least 1 sec or so

the guides are pretty in depth. make sure you're sending CDs in the correct spots on Silken

youre on a dmg amp fight, and sending flag too soon

look at the actual fight timings

its mostly the holding vs sending that i dont understand

#

even without dmg amp

lilac stag

do you understand how the fight works?

outer parrot

lol aight

lilac stag
#

if you don't that's the first thing that needs to get sorted.

#

if you dont understand the concept of sub...

#

!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".

thick cedar
#

Are people still running 0% haste?

lilac stag
#

it's impossible to

#

transmitter and tier gloves have haste

thick cedar
#

That explains the 3% i have 😄

lilac stag
#

what that someone with a visual disability has a better assa parse than you? but go on. if you want help you can give info back, if you dont want the help be my guest. if you understood how Court works you wouldn't be sending CDs before amp. THAT is what you're doing wrong

outer parrot
#

if u wanna talk about it talk about it in my thread i guess

still anvil
#

dismissing someone's valid attempts at giving advice because you think they are not perfect players is wild (nobody is, but theoretical knowledge also doesn't imply perfect executional abilities)
its rude and tbh i dont think it makes people want to help you

lilac stag
#

Not understanding when there are no parses for a spec that they swing wildly. I’m 100% casual mythic raider these days. We carry 28 people on the roster and I volunteer to sit on rekills so others can get loot and have fun. Doesn’t mean I don’t understand how the spec works or how to read combat logs and understand fight mechanics.

spark tusk
# outer parrot yeah i dont understand the logic of this spec at all, basically playing around s...

From the ground up starting from the simplest, you build into secret technique. That's your unga bunga damage. When sectec isn't ready, you sustain by just slamming eviscerate.

You use Dance/Sod to boost your sectecs. Dance boosts with damage amps and gives you access to more combo points. Sod boosts with supercharger and more combo points and energy.

Cooldowns just give you access to more of the above, more damage amps and more combo points.

At the end of the day though it's just build to big sectecs, and eviscerate in between.

The rest is minutia of when you exactly use abilities and overlap, but the above is the essential logic

#

Hope that helps Surebud

maybe they do a deathstalker angle

and buff finality by 3x

#

suddenly bp is better

lilac stag
#

So we fix the spec by turning BP into black potato? We toss spuds at all enemies?

alpine wraith
#

delet bp make our other finishers do more cool things

#

snd and rupture used to have mechanics

#

instead of only more autos and DAMAGE

lilac stag
#

I miss casting snd

#

really added to the spec

alpine wraith
#

i miss snd working with mastery

#

was funny

#

imagine if we became even more supercharged as we were stacking flag

#

although one other change i would like is for blades to make us not miss autos again

#

would be very noticeable

#

vs now in aoe

lilac stag
#

Imagine supercharged sepsis

alpine wraith
#

sepsis as a finisher like in alpha SL would be cool

#

it was a rad execute

lilac stag
#

ye

alpine wraith
#

but never saw the light of day

hazy breach
#

My main gripe is that on the very rare occasions i have to press only symbols i feel kinda bad and rupture should interact in some way with our kit

alpine wraith
#

exepct for F&F

hazy breach
#

Besides that im pretty happy with how sub currently plays

alpine wraith
#

i would love if evis crits made rupture snack some ticks

lilac stag
#

well how 1/2 of sub plays

alpine wraith
#

or empower it somehow or whatever they want to do with it

lilac stag
#

We just ignore deathstalker

alpine wraith
#

only dmg is so bland

hazy breach
#

The bug makes deathstalker feel ass, without it its not nearly as bad

lilac stag
#

I’d like the aoe energy outside of dance to get tweaked.

alpine wraith
#

yea deathstalker with no bugs would be better but

#

the no bugs part will take a bit

#

now i dont think they will make lots of class changes with holiday season coming

#

and they dont have a tier to worry about this time

just every time I hit shadowstrike it’s crash

hazy breach
#

VE is rppm now instead of 60s ICD

#

A bit unlucky

it was disabled

actually when is firelands TW?

@hazy breach where's our need more stealth guy? right now on PTR Vanish into real stealh crashes the game with a shadowstrike. kekw

Assa is kinda dog on overall on the first 4

#

Good on rashanan but you can’t pad on adds

lilac stag
#

That’s an interesting take with an extended execute boss that’s ST due to fury wsrriors

keen dome
#

My incredible Ulgrax parse contributed, I'm certain.

topaz raptor
#

I didn’t have spatter on ulgrax so i was sandbagging assa this week

lilac stag
#

You could have made the difference

vale pine
narrow shadow
#

If only shadowstrike applied a 6 second AoE silence

#

We would be good to go

hazy breach
#

Most top runs in keys dont even run iron wire anymore, assa just does a bit more damage than sub unfortunately

edgy zenith
#

“A bit”

#

It’s quite a bit. But at least Sub brings insane boss damage

hazy breach
#

Ye a bit

“Sustains 3 mill in aoe while we do 300k”

hazy breach

Well youre not doing 300k overall on a pack, at worst its like 1.2 or something

uneven scarab
#

Well yeah ofc

topaz raptor
#

What’s the nimble cap? 8?

hazy breach
#

Yes

lilac stag
vestal escarp
#

every morning

topaz raptor
#

That’s really not that low, i suppose if it was soft capped then sub might be more suited for planned runs

#

Where you could pull for its cooldowns

RS bug fix would go CRAZY

a bugless sub would see me delete all of my other toons

hazy breach
#

Theres not that many pulls this season where you actually have more than 8 targets anyway

lilac stag
#

Ovi and that’s it

alpine wraith
lilac stag
#

Oh wait. Keys. NM

alpine wraith
#

so it draws the average lower

lilac stag
#

Do you even need sub on those bosses any longer?

#

Or is this just wcl fomo

alpine wraith
#

not need sub

#

but if many people do wrose

#

it drags the good ones lower

#

like look at aoutlaw graph

like I'm quite happy staying sub on Ovi and 1. Not Lagging and 2. Helping others with parry

how do you manage your cds for the shard-boss in stonevault? I have a bad time at that one

hazy breach
#

Hold flag for shield

#

Or rather, use it on pull > use it on second or use it on first > use it on third etc

#

Ideally you want dance up for the other shields

sinful zephyr
#

ok ..but killing those shards is pretty bad and uptime for energy also not too good due to the running around

alpine wraith
#

just get 3 or 4 buffs and slam with only cb should be ok

sinful zephyr
#

Ok thank you. I will try it like that next time

i usually rip it on cd

#

Ok zed

crystal blaze
#

im kinda interested in giving sub a shot but i have a few questions

#

and they mostly revolve around something i read on wowhead where it was described as good but everything its got is slightly worse than ass rogue

#

how big of a gap is there between sub and ass

wet echo
#

depends on the content you do, it can be either better or worse

uneven scarab
#

its quite close now

#

Assa a good bit ahead in m+

#

But not by that much

topaz raptor
#

sub does far far more single target in keys which is pretty cool

wet echo
#

i reckon sub is better in lower-mid keys, but assa better for pushing

#

or maybe i'm just better at sub than assa so it reflects in performance

thatd be nice yea....

guess what job im leveling rn

#

Honestly RPR is a familiar feel to sub because of enshroud, the short burst of faster gcds feels like shadow dance

with a giga finisher like sectec

Was the main thing I played once it came out

#

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell when Thousand Cuts triggers?

#

Or if there is a way to know when Unseen Blade is ready?

tepid trellis
#

nope

#

not accurately anyway

coarse nest
#

Dang, I made a WA that tracks 20s from the damage event, and I'm working on tracking the next 2 after Secret Technique, but wasn't sure if this one was possible

hazy breach
#

We've complained a lot about it but no solutions from blizzard, its just completely hidden with no way to track

quiet pagoda
#

Why vanish insta brokes ? I cant use shadowstrike 😦

short radish
quiet pagoda
#

Its on dummies,,,

#

Happens always if I didnt press shadowstrike in 0,000001 sec after vanish, or it will break. I assume after vanish character keeps autoattacking

spark tusk
#

There aren't really any fancy tricks or apis to calls, it just has to construct the entire scenario and track/model everything

#

there's also a weird edge case where if you kill a target with a shadow strike that would proc blade, it actually starts the cd

#

which you have to account for

#

but there's no dmg event so you won't catch it without accounting for it specifically

short radish
#

what a fun designed ability

#

why couldnt blizzard just bake fazed into find weakness

spark tusk
#

I mean

#

yeah

#

But also like nowadays it doesn't really matter

#

there's no rotational impact to knowing the cd anymore I feel, there was at least some information given when we had specific rules around coup

#

but those are gone now so peeposhrug

mighty delta
#

why tf still i apply as sub, no takers, swap to sin - taken by the same group

coarse nest
#

Apply as sin, when youre in the key, swap to sub

#

If they say something, say "Why were you looking?"

mighty delta
#

yea i do that

#

so silly

grave abyss
#

is sub percieved as a bad spec or something?

#

by non-rogues

spark tusk
#

I don't think non-rogues even know what sub is

#

and many rogues too

fallow glade
#

aren't those the people who hang out in goldshire

#

If i press my 2nd sectech on like the last second of transmitter buff, will all the clones still get the full buff or nah?

#

ah oof

short radish

And then they realize youre doing good dmg

mighty delta
#

EXACTLY

#

i regret taking the mythic skardyns instead of heroic transmitter from vault

tribal blade
#

finally, 15 DB timed with sub

#

got some non shitter players in a pug for a change

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

i didn't feel in danger a single time in the key

#

sub tankiness feels good

#

have feint for everything, any bad overlap on minibosses pop evasion too

#

cloak off debuffs

#

fade to nothing uptime

#

gg

short radish
#

being able to press feint while in cds and it not taking a GCD is kinda comfy

#

you press it for no dps loss at all

#

since energy is whatever in blades

tribal blade
#

yeah no gcd on feint goes hard during dance

hazy breach
#

Ye sub is nice in dawnbreaker

tribal blade
#

being more tanky is actually kinda important in DB

#

you get to a certain key level the damage trucks

#

esp on mini bosses

#

and the shadow adds

#

@hazy breach have you been following echo's key prog

hazy breach
#

Not much no

#

Ive tuned in and seen kush yap about how bad sub is

#

After he accidently used 3 symbols at the same time kek

tepid trellis
wind canopy
tribal blade
#

they're playing with a french healer raz

tepid trellis
#

Told him to yap less and press more dmg buttons instead

tribal blade
#

and literally every single key they tell him off for 1 reason or another

tribal blade
#

i can imagine you went into overdrive focus after he said that

#

to max out details

short radish
#

spite is such a good motivator

tribal blade
#

finally broke 3200

#

that took a really, really long time

#

with a lot of people bricking the keys i did with them and then eventually overtaking me in IO

#

which was infuriating to watch

hazy breach
#

Gzz

wispy bolt
#

Any one play the DS ST build just cause? Havent touched it in a min and just curious

tribal blade
#

it's viable on ST, just not really worth when you can just play trickster everywhere

#

and trickster feels way better to play

Lmao alt raid on my dk

Okay I defend my dissertation tmrw at 10 am, then we maybe play wow again! We’re so back

#

Or maybe I go play league instead we’ll see

jovial jacinth
#

hello there fellow subs, i was wondering how do you manage the cooldowns on ovinax myth, is it recommended to pool 2x dance 2x shadows for adds even without the blades? or is it simply a loss on sectechs?

lilac stag
jovial jacinth
#

thanks, never heard about this site

lilac stag
#

you can toggle on/off any cds and defensives you want

#

but the map is pretty accurate

jovial jacinth
#

so basically i assumed it right i guess? that all the dances should be doubled into adds right?

lilac stag
#

yes. top right of map ;p

lucid jackal

#

No wonder people think sub is complicated

cloud rover
#

Just send

short radish
alpine wraith
#

there are still spreadsheets

#

but sub is not complicated just people like to see things

#

ovi is a special thing tho because of the way you get extra cdr that enables a lot of things

#

full st has not many misteries

round latch
#

sub needs more streamers and content creators to spread the word

uneven fern
#

sub scares me

alpine wraith
#

and well that picture is the one i made for my sheet and video

round latch
#

we need someone like the racoon man to push the information out there

#

or prophet,prophet could work

#

any highquality sub gamer could work tbh

#

make them guides and push them out there

#

shav it down their throats if possible

#

make sub a thing

urban ravine
#

sub is a thing

#

and people will still expect to get aug prot pally, enh, frost dk and disc priest in their average +8

#

i was actually surpsied that i could get 94s parse (ilvl) on Kyveza from my first raid as a sub, now i really want to invest more time in it

#

and it was way more fun than sin for me

round latch
#

hot take,8s dont rly obey to meta

#

its whatever

urban ravine
#

as said above

topaz raptor
#

you invite what's good

#

makes sense to me

round latch
topaz raptor
#

can't really complain when the meta exists

urban ravine
#

aug is useless in keys below 12s

urban ravine
alpine wraith
#

aug is that weird spec that also scales your tank and heal so the better they are and the more dmg they do the less they suck

urban ravine
#

i.e. ivniting DH, warlock, warrior mage and druid for dispell week might backfire you

alpine wraith
#

some tanks and heals are cracked prot pal is doing 1.4m overall and monk 1.2m

#

aug goes brrr

#

but at least we have speed shroud!

urban ravine
#

yeah if you can compensate his DPS, then it's all good, but accidental deaths with no CR available might deplete you a key on boss

#

you cant afford to lose DPS player with aug

tribal blade
urban ravine
topaz raptor
#

yeah that's not my belief, it's just what people do

#

invite what they see at the top

#

it'll always happen

#

in every game

#

kinda sucks but what can you do

urban ravine
#

cant really blame em, that's true 🙂

tribal blade
#

it makes sense why people do it

#

because if you've ever played with a top tier enhance

#

the damage is ridiculous

urban ravine
#

but difference between top tier enh and fotm enh was huge (at least prior to TWW)

#

and enh is in league of its own

tribal blade
#

i played with @lunar bluff on his enh the other day in a 15 DB and this mofo did 3 mil overall before we wiped on 2nd boss

#

(with aug)

#

but it's funny, i've played with a lot of people using meta specs who kinda blow, but they're on par or have more IO than me

urban ravine
#

that's actually another topic

topaz raptor
#

meta specs are all boosted animals in my experience

#

but if they're good enough we'll invite them anyway

urban ravine
#

that people see enh topping meters and forget that in meta comps there're 3 specs that are buffing him (prot pally lightsmith does it right?)

topaz raptor
#

s1 df all shadow priests were total trash, they were just io inflated because they were automatically invited to every key

#

so a 2500 spriest was just a 1900 player that got auto-invited to all his keys

urban ravine
#

and then in other setup people are like "wait why you are doing such low dps,i've seen enh can do much better"

urban ravine
tribal blade
urban ravine
tribal blade
urban ravine
#

yep

tribal blade
#

but it's very obvious this expac they want shammy to shine

#

the ele in my guild was freaking out when they got hit with nerfs, and i was telling him "dw blizz wants shammy to be good, i know it'll be fine"

plush roost
#

Ehh idk about that

tribal blade
#

and then blizz reverted the nerfs

plush roost
#

They completely forgot about shaman till the community complained for months

#

Then were like oh shit here you guys go

tribal blade
#

shammy has gotten insane amounts of attention for TWW

plush roost
#

I lowkey believe survival and shaman would have been ignored if there was no community uproar

tribal blade
#

maybe, who knows the inner workings of the blizz devs 😉

urban ravine
#

personally im fine with that, let the guys blast

plush roost
#

Tru that

urban ravine
#

elem was a mage ripoff for a long time

tribal blade
#

it was pretty tragic seeing the way shammy was treated in the past

plush roost
#

Dont worry theyre minorly nerfing totemic enh soon

tribal blade
#

ok wtf is totemic enh, and why are they literally doing over 50% of their dps with 1 spell

urban ravine
#

and their defensives were worse than hunters

plush roost
#

Surging totem go brrr

tribal blade
#

i saw it on silken prog and was like "wtf is this"

urban ravine
#

that's what i call "i win" button lmao

plush roost
#

Haha my enh shaman on kyveza could get good rng and just be 10-15% of everyone else

tribal blade
#

madness

plush roost
#

He doesn't even like stormkeeper playstyle so he hopes its nerfed

#

So he can keep playing totemic

tribal blade
#

imagine having different builds for your spec 😉

plush roost
#

Till .5

#

And sin has different builds for m+

tribal blade
plush roost
#

And outlaw has 2

urban ravine
#

damn being in most of the class discords i think rogues and monks are chillest communities

plush roost
#

I mean its pretty good for rogues tbh

tribal blade
#

i think it's a blessing in disguise for sub having basically only 1 build

#

means we can do very good ST dam in aoe talents

urban ravine
#

yeah that nimble flurry is doing god's work

plush roost
#

Yep the cleave is mega. Been fun picking sub back up on court

urban ravine
#

it gives cleave with prio damage and in my case gives me easier time learing the spec

#

and it's still fun as hell to just send CDs and blast

plush roost
#

Forced induction and coup working for cdr has made the spec feel waaaay better

heady quartz
#

Was doing brd heroic with guild ytd and my 608 rogue was doing some ungodly cleave

plush roost
#

I thought DS was more enjoyable but after doing trickster i can never play DS again

heady quartz
#

Nimble flurry is so good

urban ravine
#

it was by far "hardest" spec for me before TWW

#

wasnt even going to play it

#

but now ill try to put more time into it than my WW monk main (which is fun too, but damage is gigapiss)

heady quartz
#

Ww needs help on dmg tuning bad

urban ravine
#

he needs overall help

heady quartz
#

Every since they fixed conduit the spec is kinda dead

#

Shadow pan buffs were inadequate to fix the specs issues

urban ravine
#

well it's still fun to play, it's mostly numbers are the problem and shado pan has doodoo defensive

#

you can really count karma as full defensive in high keys

heady quartz
#

One thing i liked about my ww for was at ara-kara

urban ravine
#

so for some bosses you have only 1 defensive (since they removed Dampen Harm)

heady quartz
#

Being able to self dispel and run back in is amazing

#

Yeap no dampen harm is pretty balss

urban ravine
#

yeah it has good tools for S1 m+

#

i havent got a single trouble dealing with affixes

heady quartz
#

The issue is getting invites

urban ravine
#

you have ring to pop, self dispell and you can ToD Xal's copy and the MQM it

In the top runs the aug typically does the same amount of damage as the frost dk

tribal blade
#

i'm not minding running with aug as much this season tbh

#

because deaths and wipes are the biggest contributor to klling the timer

hazy breach

But ye big difference between good and bad ones. Same as enhances

I keep up with most enhances

yeah having a bad aug is seriously bad

That just astrogaps me
