#

Not the first time it happens either

#

I hope blizzard remove that talent sometimes soon

#

It's cringe

tribal blade
#

bro i don't understand how that's a thing

#

you're playing keys as pirate right?

leaden prairie
#

Blizzard enjoy silly stuff I guess idk

leaden prairie
#

So I can't

#

I wish

#

I don't think outlaw is that behind in most keys

#

But it is with an Aug

tribal blade
#

damn that's tragic

lilac stag
#

tell your Aug to Dev

leaden prairie
#

Yeye

lilac stag
#

So you can be out of prison

leaden prairie
#

Idk I might just stop playing with these people

lilac stag
#

I will fight for your right to Pirate.

leaden prairie
#

I would rather not play than play assa rn

tribal blade
#

i would say fuck it and just play outlaw

#

fuck the meta

keen dome
#

Isn't Elusiveness getting nerfed in 11.0.7 or did I imagine that. Maybe someday we can just have both. Cheat Death would be nice to just always have, and thematic..

leaden prairie
#

But it would be lfg outlaw

#

Vs team assa

keen dome
#

Tell them the Rogue discord mandates you to be a pirate

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

@leaden prairie are you enjoying outlaw right now, or is just “ok” in the feels department.

leaden prairie
#

It's my dream

#

But ye

tribal blade
#

outlaw/warr/monk

#

massive melee comp

leaden prairie
#

While also being the worse

#

No acro feel very bad in keys

#

But the gameplay is crazy good

#

I think outlaw damage profile is the worse it's ever been also

lilac stag
#

acro meme here

keen dome
#

Acro.....

leaden prairie
#

With it being so so punished by downtime and missed gcds etc

#

But ye

#

Definitely still my favorite iteration

lilac stag
#

I’m glad you’re finding it fun

leaden prairie
#

Ace procs are very addicting

#

And kir is crazy fun

#

Kir with CTO

#

Is a banger

#

Having to react to your CTO procs

#

Fish for more before pressing kir

#

It feels very good

lilac stag
#

What’s the apm at ?

leaden prairie
#

Like 80 idk

lilac stag
#

so still arthritis inducing.

leaden prairie
#

We have Perma ADR rn basically

#

So ye

haughty mural
#

tbh - find a team that lets you outlaw

tribal blade
#

if i quit pushing this season i might fuck around with outlaw a bit

#

i haven't seriously played outlaw in a while

leaden prairie
#

Not if I want to do the keys I wanna do

#

Wox is very lucky

#

These type of groups don't exist

tribal blade
#

this kinda thing

#

oh i found one w/o nox

#

insert warrior where the lock is

leaden prairie
#

Ye

#

I wish I could find open minded one tricks

tribal blade
#

yeah this kind of setup is really rare atm

leaden prairie
#

THat push keys

#

But everyone just fotm reroll

tribal blade
#

do you want the vegan discord

#

i'm actually still in his disc

leaden prairie
#

Why

#

He has wox already lol

tribal blade
#

he plays a lot, he might be able to squeeze you in

#

i think he also runs with nessa sometimes

leaden prairie
#

Ye idk the guy anyway

#

I don't know a lot of people tbf

tribal blade
#

i only ran 2 keys with him

#

and the 1st time i met him i made the mistake of telling him "mcdonalds is that way"

#

and he gave me a lecture on the horrors of the meat industry

leaden prairie
tribal blade
#

he lives up to his name lol

#

there's very few super high IO people who are 1 tricking atm

#

almost everyone on my friends list has main swapped

#

literally every single tank has gone prot pal

Powerful name, powerful gimmick. I approve.

no flack from me about that, i respect it

i can't argue about what he says

lilac stag
#

kinda odd to me when it becomes your identity. but you do you boo and keep on keeping on.

#

not just dietary, but anything.

serene tapir
#

More common now then back when I was 10 years

tame stratus
leaden prairie
#

I hate fotm rerollers man

lilac stag
#

lol

serene tapir
#

They treaten it like a virus xD

leaden prairie
#

I wish specs where also closer to each other

lilac stag
#

tank prepping is such a common thing I feel

tribal blade
leaden prairie
#

In term of everything

#

DMG and util

keen dome
leaden prairie
#

And delete Aug please

tribal blade
#

delete aug

#

it's a disease

leaden prairie
#

The only reason I can't play outlaw rn

lilac stag
leaden prairie
#

Is cause Aug exist

keen dome
tribal blade
#

aug literally completely ruined such a balanced season in S2

keen dome
#

One trick Sub rogue for life

tribal blade
#

and every season after that

serene tapir
lilac stag
keen dome
#

Haha

tribal blade
#

my favorite part about dating a vegetarian was going out to eat

#

and not being able to decide where to eat

#

because we had to strike the balance of a place where she could actually have something to eat, and a place i could stand

keen dome
#

It's goten a whole lot better. Vegeterian is just easypeasy now. It's great. I used to work food retail and certain meat dishes make me nauseous. The smell is such a trigger, lmao

serene tapir
#

In Sweden it’s kinda easy to find a meat place that is also good at vege food

tribal blade
#

ahah not here in hong kong, this place is brutally hard

lilac stag
#

vegan and my diabetes was a nightmare. My body just does way better on heavy protein (meat based) diets. Even stuff like the (forgot the name) veggie burgers just wreck my blood sugars.

tribal blade
#

issue with veggie burgers is they're ultra processed

serene tapir
#

But I am one of those that dosent give a f about other ppls decisions 😁

lilac stag
#

we all can live in peace

serene tapir
#

Can be, depends 👍

lilac stag
#

Insecure people can’t

keen dome
lilac stag
#

if everyone was the same, fuck this world would be boring AF

keen dome
#

I'm a huge fan of food, but I don't need meat to enjoy it so it's w/e. I'd probably try regional dishes to experience them but at home I'm always vegeterian.

serene tapir
#

Yeah qourn etc isnt the best for the enviroment

lilac stag
#

watching some of the vege body builders now is crazy

keen dome
#

Yeah. Quorn is an okay alternative but like. It's not a good long-term solution.

#

Really good nuggets though.

#

Also a lot of the fake cheese and stuff is coconut oils which is another whole issue.

serene tapir
#

I mean i like it, but its just not a good chooice if you care for ”healthy” food

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Absolutely

#

I'm a big fan of southern indian because a ton of their dishes are vegeterian and easily adaptable as needed

#

I just find a dish I like and adapt.

serene tapir
#

Yeah plenty of good food idd

#

There is a brand ”called hälsans kök” in Sweden but its från Israel

#

Dunno about the international name but i love the product

keen dome
#

Nod

#

We have Moving Mountains here. It's processed but decent on occasion. There's also stuff like vivolife or w/e. Good options but it's all hyper-processed which is just frustrating. But c'est la vie.

#

Tofu is a great tool for making good vegeterian dishes.

serene tapir
#

Yup way easier to find better food now then like 25 years back 😁

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

serene tapir
#

Or more tasty I’d say

keen dome
#

Yeah. A better selection.

lilac stag
#

gluten free 25 years ago. 😩

keen dome
#

Gluten 😠

lilac stag
#

Got the double whammy of type 1 & celiacs

#

I’m lucky my celiacs isn’t awful, but man I can go from skinny to looking like I’m pregnant with a bad reaction.

keen dome
#

Yeah, that's real rough. I've got a buddy who has really rough celiacs and it's been a nightmare for him to adjust and find alternative solutions. The rise of plant-based foods has been pretty big for finding decent alternatives at least.

lilac stag
#

yeah. I got pretty good about going with meat and veggies.

#

eating out always the wildcard

#

Or family get togethers where they get livid you don’t try X food they made

keen dome
#

Urgh 😦

lilac stag

“Would you be pushing uncle Jimmy to have a drink after he’s been sober for 7 years? No? Fuck off with your TikTok cookie recipe”.

Merry Christmas 😆

#

My grandmother never understood it when I went vegeterian. "Do you still eat chicken?" "No? It's an animal." "What about Pork?" "What about salmon? That's not an animal."

lilac stag
#

“WHAT DO YOU EAT?!?!?”

keen dome
#

Soup. I live on SOUP

lilac stag
#

Chicken Noodle Soup? PogO

hot plaza
#

Guys is sub easier now than it was in df please? Ty 👍

lilac stag
hot plaza
lilac stag
#

due to trickster hero talents / flawless

#

deathstalker uses storm in ST f.ex

#

just weird interaction shit

hot plaza
#

Awesome Ty mate appreciate that ♥️👍

lilac stag
#

storm costs a ton of energy so we do nearly nothing outside of dance

#

just trying to get cds back

sly shore
#

storm if you have unseen blade up

#

else backstab

idle aurora

#

is the dm bug still live?

#

or was that only a sim bug

hazy breach
#

You cannot proc any marks while you have darkest night up correct. Its still a thing

honest grail
#

Bros

#

How is sub on silken court

#

I'm playing assassination atm but my secondaires are better for sub and it feels like the fight is more geared towards heavy burst damage in short windows

lilac stag
#

it’s good. They’re both fine tbh

#

Assa doesn’t care about anything but ilvl

delicate steeple
#

isnt it like one or the other unless youre opening from stealth with a darkest night proc up?

hazy breach
#

Almost every single time you press dance

#

Youre striking before the eviscerate

delicate steeple
#

oh ss from dance applies mark?

hazy breach
#

And you need to eviscerate and cant sectech, even though you'd sometimes want to sectech

#

Yes

delicate steeple
#

odd i figured cause blindside doesnt dance wouldnt

hazy breach
#

Dance is stealth

#

Blindside isnt

delicate steeple
#

ah right

swift tinsel
delicate steeple
#

well hopefully they snuck that fix in on tuesday aswell

swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't hold out too much hope

delicate steeple
#

tbh theyll probably break something with enhance again and itll gain another 5% dps

spare hazel
#

can someone explain this on wowhead:
Use Shuriken Storm on 3 or more targets with Flawless Form up.
Use Backstab.
for aoe rotation outside of shadow dance

#

shouldnt i use shuriken storm without flawless form?

hazy breach
#

You want to proc flawless form

spare hazel
#

aaah

#

ok

#

i get it

hazy breach
#

If you dont have it up you want to backstab

#

So youll have it up

mint swift
#

Im assuming the reason it's also bad compared to assa is cause

#

assa already uses Enven as it's main aoe finisher

#

But in DS evic isn't your main aoe finisher

alpine wraith
#

it is not super bad per se but annoying

swift tinsel
#

if they made it cleave like it does with nimble I wouldn't be mad

alpine wraith
#

biggest problem is getting to 7cp in dance can krangle as you need more than 1 builder

swift tinsel
#

with DN

mint swift
#

Ah fair

#

Only annoying thing that happens with assa like that is

#

Getting 6 CP from a FoK or going from 4 to 6 with a mutilate

swift tinsel
#

really wish they'd do away with the 7cp requirement bc it feels really disruptive

#

just keep it as >=5 as with mark

#

(also make it also apply to sectech instead of just evisc)

vestal escarp
#

Sectech guaranteed crit + 60% HOLY

swift tinsel
#

only way I'll ever want to play DS is if sectech can go from a nuclear bomb to a Death Star cannon

#

a man can dream

#

inb4 they make BP consume it too

vestal escarp
#

Whats funny about this

#

Is hero talent description in game for DS and trickster

#

And how they actually play

#

The opposite

tawny river
#

doesnt feint work on wrest?

hazy breach
#

It does not

strong comet
tawny river
#

that sucks

alpine wraith
#

elu is good

hazy breach
#

You should be having cloak for the second one during the intermission anyway, and thats the dangerous one

rocky wolf
#

would it be worth it to save cloak if im early-ish in the prio for portal?

#

or is wrest more dangerous

hazy breach
#

The wrest is probably gonna oneshot you, or atleast close to

#

Whereas the portal aint doing that much

tawny river
#

how am i 54% DR here then?

left ledge
#

I cloak as she’s in mid about to cast the thing that starts intermission, she does so much damage there, I feel like second wrest is never scary for some reason

hazy breach
#

Theyre two seperate spells

tawny river
#

i think it works

#

my intermission wrest DRs are all 50%+ with feint active

hazy breach
#

Ye youre right

#

mb

strong comet
#

Yeah it's clear with the evidence you have provided that it does

strange chasm
#

Yeah feint definitely works

#

Used it during prog and noticed when I had feint running and didn't lol

#

Almost everything on queen works with feint

alpine wraith
#

yea only the reactive toxin snap does not right?

#

as in when the debuff on you pops

#

and does big dam

elfin hound
#

start progressing Queen mythic now. what specc do you recommend for queen (any pro / cons)
can play both at the same level

strange chasm
#

Either or are completely fine now

#

Sub probably still is better but ass seems to do more damage at least on logs

sly shore
#

depends on the damage profile you need and where you need the damage

#

both are good

alpine wraith
#

sub is tankier cooler

#

and also invests better in stocks

strange chasm
#

Sub boss damage stonks going up next reset though! Isn't everyone excited to play DS!

sly shore
haughty mural
spare hazel
#

are we really switching to DS tomorrow?

#

i like trickster 😦

alpine wraith
#

for st it will be better

#

we do hate the gameplay tho

strange chasm
uneven fern
#

sub gets fucked hard by the bug right

#

cus shadowstrike is just applying that bitch all the time

#

idk i havent played this spec before yesterday

hazy breach
#

Yes its like a 2-3% dps loss numerically

#

But it mostly feels ass

uneven fern
#

ouchy

#

ya for sure

hazy breach
#

Because sectech can end up being delayed and desync

#

Since you need to eviscerate

uneven fern
#

trickster is kinda relaxing

#

until you kill yourself

hazy breach
#

Yes trickster is significantly more smooth and fun to play

uneven fern
#

i killed myself on queen the other day

#

day 1 sub already trickster death

#

Okayge nice

uneven fern
#

WORLDOFWARCRAFT black powder

#

WORLDOFWARCRAFT shuriken storm

#

WORLDOFWARCRAFT black powder

strange chasm
uneven fern
#

for sure gets fixed

hazy breach
#

fix a 1% bug for assa with echoing reprimand after 2 weeks of it being bugged
with the fix also introduce a bug that feels worse as sub and a 3% dmg loss
leave it for over 2 months
ultra buff the hero talent to force people to play with it

#

Thanks blizz

strange chasm
#

Will we aim higher ST than ass ?

granite hinge
#

Y

#

But dunno how It works

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

it is annoying because the bug they fixed for sin isn't even relevant anymore

plush roost
#

Fix ER, remove ER.

#

They're genius

hybrid prism
#

I killed myself in necrotic wake as trickster on the last boss. I got sent down and had my hour long tricks on the tank and when I tried to kill the add he misdirected to the tank and walked up the wall and went to the main platform. Then I got stuck down there with no add and after about 20 seconds just died. It auto killed me. Lol.

topaz raptor
#

if we all play trickster anyway maybe we can get another black powder buff in

fallow nimbus
hazy breach
warm marlin
hazy breach
lilac stag
#

just gotta pvp the add. kekw

hazy breach
#

To give yourself more time to click of tricks and/or kill it

lilac stag
#

kidney to blow it up

#

congrats on learning Sub in keys feelsloveman

hybrid prism
#

It was evading. Lmao. When I attacked it after my first gcd, it evaded. 😂

warm marlin
#

When you get sent down in necrotic wake you get a debuff

#

It will auto kill you at the end and it’s removed if you click the add to fly back up

#

But you can also cloak it

hybrid prism
#

The more you know!

idle aurora
#

Woah

#

lol last night in necrotic I blew everything got sent down and like couldn’t do enough dmg to kill the stupid guy lol that’s good to know

idle aurora
#

What’s the command to bring up the rules of doing dmg

lunar bluff
#

!doingdmgrules

idle aurora
#

lol

#

Someone had typed something that gave me a pin or link on the rules of when to use shadow dance and when to pool I can’t find it now

uneven fern
#

or just one of the guides yeah

#

ah the tc thread is in faq anyway

#

based

idle aurora
#

Oooooo

#

That’s it!

#

Ty ❤️

#

lol wtf when I went to pins it was a bottom all I had to do was scroll up on phone failboat on my part

tropic fog
#

yo, I can see in pinned that the buffs coming are 5.5% on ST and unclear on AOE yet, but y'all think it's enough to pull Sub into keys?

#

just wondering what the opinion is

#

feels a bit underwhelming especially considering Assa is millions ahead

swift tinsel
#

sub can handle high keys until you really start pushing

alpine wraith
#

we are also millions ahead in some situations

topaz raptor
#

sub damage is actually already quite good

keen dome
#

What level of keys are you meaning 'cos I'm pretty sure it's fine up to like 15 - 16 now?

swift tinsel
#

^

keen dome
#

We absolutely monster bosses.

alpine wraith
#

sub has more finesse and thinsg you can do with supercharger and tfd tho

tropic fog
#

True that, I mean not like we can't handle most key levels but yeah, was mostly just wondering how people felt about the buffs

alpine wraith
#

instead of press w like assa

#

so it might take a bit to learn

tropic fog
keen dome
#

I assume they won't really impact keys 'cos we'll stick as Trickster?

swift tinsel
#

Trickster is what we're running now and buffs don't do anything

tropic fog
#

BP buffs tho

alpine wraith
#

you can run as deathstalker if pulls are big enough and it will likely do more overall

tropic fog
#

still a bit more into AOE

alpine wraith
#

but you will struggle to find people that care enough

#

to even try it

#

when trickster is fine

tropic fog
#

XD true

swift tinsel
#

most non-sub folks don't know what we do lol

#

from other classes

alpine wraith
#

i will likely do some m+ next week to put out some videos

#

then shelve it

#

LUL

swift tinsel
#

lmao

keen dome
#

haha

#

I really enjoy boss 1 of Mists just to show people what Sub can do. Esp at 10's when most people don't really know

swift tinsel
#

same lol when I first ran with my guildmates after switching back they said I can play sub whenever I want

#

or you turbofuck stitch

#

see jaws drop

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's great.

#

It feels really rewarding to play well on bosses because you just rocket. Esp anything with a damage amp window

sick jackal
#

dawn hinge
#

Managed to bug out Coup the Grace on some evading mobs that snapped to tank due to 1h tricks after he died

#

Reminded me of Outlaw bug, except now it showed me having coup up perma, but it never went off, so rather didn't proc

#

Also, did anything change about vanish, it feels like it just fails to stealth at times lately, or am I missing something

alpine wraith
#

you need to alt 4 or die

#

to solve coup bug solved

sinful zephyr
#

its funny when you wipe in ara kara and all the mobs teleport to the flying point at the beginning and everyone freaks out

dawn hinge
alpine wraith
#

some combination of lag and mob dying or moving ina weird way you cant charge

#

quite random

dawn hinge
#

Cheers. Any vanish shenanigans or am I seeing things? Feels like it doesn't stealth every time

alpine wraith
#

more like it breaks easily

#

they broke the improv vanish interaction with dmg taken and other things

#

so it does not get protected for 3 secs like before

unique anvil
#

i need to have words with whoever gave trickster that random charge

alpine wraith
#

get in line

#

we just want to talk

young path
alpine wraith
#

yes tornado is not bad as deathstalker

young path
#

And if DS ends up being not too great in keys, atleast we have BP +20% (nice little bump for trickster)

alpine wraith
#

because you dont shadowstrike on 3t+

#

just remember to not krangle symbols with it

#

i did one video on df about that but i can do another one

young path
#

Please do, I genuinely appreciate any extra perspective as not many play the spec or know what how to min/max it

I take advice wherever I can

#

Does Noxious still play? I used to watch the crap out of his videos

cerulean beacon
#

whew what a buff

young path
#

But now I’m just aging myself lol

young path
cerulean beacon
#

5,5% on ST with deathstalker seems nice

#

actually nutty wtf the spac was already strong on pure ST

tidal python
#

Outlaw still sims higher no?

young path
#

I’m excited, may the wow gods pass transmitters to all with vault and hotfixes

cerulean beacon
tidal python
#

No idea tbh, the spec is just on radioactive crack

cerulean beacon
#

I was under impression the numbers were still skewed due to that bug from a month ago

young path
#

I’m probably mistaken but the output of those sims rely heavily on rtb buffs that may or may not manifest into reality

tidal python
#

Sub's minimum is still lower than Outlaw's minimum though

cerulean beacon
young path
#

Yah, I stopped attempting outlaw quite some time ago so you’re probably on point

Too hooked on the shadow ningee-star

#

I have like zero interest playing anything else… I’m not too shabby at assassination but want to stab my own eyeball when I play it

topaz raptor
#

i thought they just cooked the apl far beyond what a human is ordinarily capable of

wind canopy
#

You're also assuming perfect conditions where you don't have downtime

young path
#

Or should I say my ability to play it

lilac stag
frank bobcat
#

Might be a dumb question but Trickster still ahead on 2 target (I.e. silken court)? Any world where we play DS on that fight due to the damage amp phases?

stark zealot
#

will sub be on par with sin now?

jaunty umbra
#

sub is better 2ez

ebon tiger
#

tbh unless we're getting omega gapped I'm sticking with trickster. at least on silken court prog NODDERS

hazy breach
#

It does look like its gonna be a bit of a gap, the buffs are really big

fallow nimbus
#

Let's all switch to DS so they buff trickster for 11.1 feelskek

tribal blade
#

😉

pliant topaz
#

I am personally looking forward to pressing black powder on queen p3 to cleave the acolytes Surebud

vestal escarp
#

you're not losing dmg on boss this time!!

wind canopy
#

They should just buff sub

topaz raptor
vestal escarp
#

legit another 20 on BP and its a ST buff for sub

tawny river
#

What hero talent are people gonna play on Mythic Ansurek come buffs?

autumn flame
#

dn on sub is so ass to playAggy

edgy zenith
#

So DS is 5.5% ahead according to sims, but still has the bugs so it’s like 2.5% ahead come Tuesday, yeah?

hazy breach
#

No its not 5.5% ahead according to sims

#

Its +5.5%

edgy zenith
#

Oh, so it’s just 5.5% ahead come Tuesday

#

Nice

#

(kill me)

hazy breach
#

So its like 9% or so ahead in sims, but maybe 2% or so of that is the bug

#

Its very firmly ahead

#

Should be ahead in aoe too

edgy zenith
#

Enough to make DS the M+ spec too?

hazy breach
#

Numerically maybe

edgy zenith
#

Man I hate pressing BP

#

Remove BP

hazy breach
#

Well BP does more on 2 targets than evis with nimble does kek

edgy zenith
#

No shot

hazy breach
#

BP is like 85% of evis damage

edgy zenith
#

We are in the most cursed timeline

#

Okay so if BP is banging THIS hard. You think we’re taking that rupture talent too?

#

In DS tree?

#

Don’t remember name

hazy breach
#

Well no

#

Because it doesnt work with shadowed finisher

#

The crit thing is more damage

#

Its still just bp damage

edgy zenith
#

Mmm

vestal escarp
#

Momentum buffed bp hits as hard as evis

hazy breach
#

The 85% was with momentum, but ye its decently close

bleak wind
#

is BP still bugged with finality

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

But from the sims ive ran it doesnt seem worth it because the ST loss is too big

bleak wind
#

did you look into the dark brew vs rotten things

hazy breach
#

Ye thats what i meant

#

Its better on constant high target cleave, but way worse on ST

bleak wind
#

so you still go rotten

#

in raid that is

hazy breach
#

ye

bleak wind
#

what about tea

hazy breach
#

Seems fine, but not better

#

I havent looked if its worth to use for energy, but last time i checked that was way worse than macroing with dance

#

So i very much doubt that it would be

bleak wind
#

aight, so no changes, just despair feels

hazy breach
#

Might be worth to drop VT for tornado on some fights Cheesin

#

But then again, the best use of tornado is unironically to use it outside cds

#

Because otherwise you end up wasting so much cp from shadowcraft

#

We love synergy

bleak wind
#

ye like the ones we have with rupture

#

fits so well

#

what happened with that wow council thing, is there no one there that could push things in the right direction

To me current trickster gameplay is like the smoothest and most fun the spec has been in years, so they could just nerf deathstalker and thats a good enough direction for me Cheesin

#

But that seems to not be the case

bleak wind
#

ye I kinda like it as well

hazy breach
#

Obv there could be better talent variation etc, but the gameplay loop feels really good if we just get rid of the occasional naked symbols

bleak wind
#

not the biggest fan of the dance timings since its more or less what dust did as well and the goal was to escape from it but eh

hazy breach
#

But oh well

theres about 5-6 times more survival hunters than sub rogues and I think that speaks for itself

they made SV fun and OP

we got 4 weeks of fun
They got 4 weeks of OP

#

blizz is mistaking the fact that DS is not being played because it's numerically off

#

they see nobody is playing DS, and assume it's because it needs buffs

spice matrix
#

Are we going to be using the DS build in raid thats on Wowhead now that takes gloomblade or has anything changed recently?

tribal blade
#

when in reality it was almost identical to trickster in ST, just that trickster feels infinitely better to play

#

so given the choice everyone chose trickster

bleak wind
#

not really sure what the problem is tbh, to me it seems like deathstalker was designed more towards assa and trickster more towards sub

tribal blade
#

the DS buff highlights the fact that blizz didn't look into this at all, pretty much just a surface level glance

#

and the way they decided to buff DS highlights it as well haha

bleak wind
#

yep pretty much

COPIUM these weird buffs/tweaks are iterative steps for an easier rework in 11.1

i didn't honestly like how S2 ended, but ep 1-6 i loved

this is a dark timeline

S2 also has my favorite fight scene of the entire series

I love how FDK tuning was supposed to shift aoe to st profile. Instead aoe and st got a 1.5% buff.

#

they’re really just throwing darts blindly at a board for tuning.

I'm watching Aki stream Queen prog right now and sub def needs buffs

#

Hey can anyone tell me exactly how Elusiveness talent works?

hazy breach
#

It makes feint and evasion give you 20% dmg reduction to everything

#

It does not stack with the 40% from feint by default

#

But if feint doesnt work, its a 20% dmg reduction if you spec elusiveness

rough sigil
#

But lets say you pop evasion and feint is it additive on aoe?

hazy breach
#

Multiplicative

#

40% from feint and 20% from evasion

rough sigil
#

Oh ok got it.

hazy breach
#

0.6 * 0.8 = 0.48, so 52% total reduction

edgy zenith
#

hmmm, so I think saving CB for second sectech was only Trickster tech, yeah?

#

back to using CB on CD with first sectech?

hazy breach
#

Nop

#

Or well

#

Making sure youre always getting it inside your flag

#

Is the important part

lucid jackal
#

What are the "quirks" of deathstalker over trickster btw. Still sectec first, but also you can still start dances at 9 seconds left

#

Is it just clear the witness? Is that the only quirk really

hazy breach
#

Have to use darkest night at 7 cp immediately

lucid jackal
#

Like highest prio finisher

hazy breach
#

Yes

lucid jackal
#

What if it procs in Ur dance

#

Like first evis 9 sec on sectec, but then it's dn

hazy breach
#

Yes

lucid jackal
#

Do u dn then sectec

hazy breach
#

Yep

lucid jackal
#

Is that it

#

Clear the witness and rush evis with dn?

edgy zenith
#

think so

hazy breach
#

Rush 7 cp, so you sometimes end up striking at 5 or 6 in dance

lucid jackal
#

That's not terrible, despite being boring

#

At least it's only st

edgy zenith
#

so Eleem, you just sending CB on first sectech next week with DS?

lucid jackal
#

Wdym clueless

edgy zenith
#

was messing around with CB on second all of last week

#

felt good

#

there was liek a slight min/max of using CB on second sectech near end of flag

#

and just holding it as a 90s CD

#

but unsure now since we aren't using trickster

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

So its very possible deathstalker is the play on pretty much every boss in the raid.

lucid jackal
#

Awe man!

hazy breach
#

Well on 3 targets

#

Deathstalker bp does more than nimble evis

edgy zenith
#

wait does this mean Mandate is higher prio than contract now

hazy breach
#

Assuming you have fw up

#

No

edgy zenith
#

lingering isn't that big?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt line up as well anymore

edgy zenith
#

mm

hazy breach
#

Wasnt great before, but its worse now

lucid jackal
#

How much is trickster bug

hazy breach
#

Not sure which one youre talking about

lucid jackal
#

Parry

hazy breach
#

For the raid?

#

Idk not that much

edgy zenith
#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

But it also depends a bit on if they buff singular focus by 45%, one would assume that they would since its plague damage

#

Its very silly to buff it because thats effectively a "double dip" buff

#

Theyre probably doing it though

hazy breach
#

As you dont have dance

edgy zenith
#

is that 5.5 assuming double dip or

hazy breach
#

Singular doesnt do anything on ST

edgy zenith
#

o that's the funnel talent, right?

#

nvm

brisk onyx

What trinkets are good for sub?

hazy breach

Transmitter

sour stump
#

Brood egg any good?

tribal blade
#

yes it's good

#

but it's annoying to use

#

so i wouldn't bother

sour stump
#

Already got one from last heroic cache week

tribal blade
#

it's like +0.2% dps over contract for me

#

and contract you think 0 to get basically the same use

lucid jackal
#

Most of these fights have enough forced movement that u dont really have to think about ovinax egg fwiw

sour stump
#

Sub can use the fist weapon in the offhand yeah? Is it worth to do that with contract?

hazy breach
#

But no

#

Its horrible to not have a dagger in your offhand

#

!oh

wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

sour stump
#

Good to know

lucid jackal
#

WAIT

#

DEATHSTALKER GOES GLOOMBLDE

#

Oh its so back

hazy breach
#

I mean if its literally pure ST

#

If theres ever another target you def need the storm applies FW talent

#

Which means you cant have gloom

lucid jackal
#

I feel trickster is still just better for the actual AOE fights

#

Like, ovinax

#

Idrc about BP damage

#

But I guess U could just play st build and go deathstalker hmmmmm

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker has significantly more prio

lucid jackal
#

hm

alpine wraith
#

likely trickster only fight might be court if red team as you cant super storm to get more cps always but yea

#

even on ovi nax when 2t+ enter the fray BP just does a lot of dmg

tame terrace
#

so pretty much soon trickster is the only hero talent rogue never touched OMEGALUL

hazy breach
#

Could also be that theyre just not buffing what they said theyre gonna buff

#

Or buff something extra

alpine wraith
#

yea we will need NA sacrifice people

hazy breach
#

Who knows

alpine wraith
#

if they dont buff singular and something else

#

wellp time to work

wild they buffed sub ds

is there a write up of the DS rotation for tomorrow?

ez

lucid jackal

and clear the witness

tribal blade
#

i like to keep my witnesses

tame terrace

u better clear them 😠

tribal blade
#

so i make my court sentencing on hard mode

short radish
#

oh for fucks sake

#

i forgot about CTW

#

why is DS such a dog shit spec

hazy breach
#

Ye ig ctw is more relevant now that it does more damage.

lucid jackal
#

clear the wtiness kinda chill

hazy breach
#

As long as youre not using it in symbols

#

So you dont actually use it that often

tribal blade
#

hunt them down about to be doing stupid damage

#

for doing literally nothing

#

just existing

short radish
#

CTB works same way as agony for warlocks right? that you dont to drop rupture ever

hazy breach
#

What

short radish
hazy breach
#

Ye ideally you dont let it drop

#

But it also doesnt do that much damage

short radish
#

kk

OMG!!!!!!!!

heyo do we macro symbols to dance anymore?

#

u know cuz we have 3 charges any all

or can it fire off 2 at a time?

#

weird thing is, tornado might make the spec feel less bad

#

it can help get you some cdr

#

to ocmpensate for coup

hazy breach

Ye

#

But you also have to play tornado

#

So you win some you lose some

pliant topaz

lesser of 2 evils ig

scarlet heath
#

I'd like lower energy cost if anything

lucid jackal

Tornado should just be 30 energy

#

Idgaf, make it a broken talent

#

It just feels so bad being infinite energy

silver yarrow
#

Can you play ST Sub with Mastery/ Crit stats?

tribal blade
#

it's not ideal but you should be mostly fine

pliant topaz
#

but if there are multiple targets, it gets u a bit of cdr

#

regarless its lose lose compared to trickster

short radish
hybrid bluff
alpine wraith
#

you actually dont use tornado and dance together almost at all

#

unless you know what you are doing and use symbols 3 secs later

warm depot
#

hey what do we think about sub after tomorrow?

scarlet heath
#

unless I am missing something, you use tornado outside dance for CDR reduction mostly

#

which is why the energy cost feels so shit

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

the change makes no sense to me

#

but well

vestal escarp
#

Dangerous buffs

#

Some stuff that doesnt scale/interact with the spec got buffed

And if it's too much the nerfs are gonna go elsewhere

topaz raptor

yeah

we're ready for the black powder buff

#

catch me in the mists of tirna scithe making TORNADOS

sinful sluice
#

we running DS for m+ next patch??

hybrid bluff
sinful sluice
#

if we dont use DS next patch despite the patch

#

maybe they will add another 3000% dmg buff to powder again

lime wigeon
#

Not all buffs/nerfs are there to change up the status quo, but to make it less punishing to play what you want to play

sinful sluice
#

well tbh i kinda liked DS in mythics

#

shuriken storm -> rupture x7 times was kinda satisfying to do

#

not being saracstic btw

#

was actually fun

lime wigeon
#

Then play it, that choice will have just about no impact on if you succeed or not in the dungeon

sinful sluice
#

well it did 0 dmg but still

keen dome
#

I'm curious how it'll feel, and our boss dam moments with it.

fluid tusk
alpine wraith
#

likely deathstalker will do quite well but for it to shine you would need big pulls

#

if you go w mode 3-4 or 5 mobs a time it is whatever what yo play

#

although funnily enough it might do even more ST and we were already quite beastly there

pale python
#

Can anyone explain why they changed the Flaggelation icon so that there is no difference in icon colour when the spell is active or on cooldown?

short radish
#

because blizzard can

alpine wraith
#

becausese red means danger and danger is bad so now it is shitty grey

short radish
#

and you will appreciate their great game design

pale python
#

😄

#

this is sooooo little thing, but sooooooooooooooo anoying

#

btw, as the sub fix coming in for Deathstalker I have a question, do I use fans during the Dance + Symbol window for Clear the Witness, or Im using fans only outside Dance+Symbol window?

hazy breach
#

Only use storm outside symbols

lilac stag
mint swift
#

It’s what

#

The third time they have done it this expac

coarse nexus
#

did the buffs change what target count we press powder on?

hazy breach
#

Not really no

thorny kestrel
#

ok so DS opener is same but after 1st evisc, you use storm because of clear the witness?, then build to 6+ rupture, then continue as usual

mint swift
#

How many CDs does sub have rn

thorny kestrel
#

2 big cds, 2 shorter ones

#

i mean that you apply as a buff / window

hazy breach
thorny kestrel
#

so we don't use storm then if we don't want to

#

just do the usual opener

hazy breach
#

ye

thorny kestrel
#

kk ty

hazy breach
#

The only reason the sim does it is because its a lot of extra text in the code for practically no difference

thorny kestrel
#

got it. i like van / strike anyway, thanks

mint swift
#

Assa has like

#

3 I guess

#

4 maybe if you count tea or shiv

pale python
#

I have noticed that Sim is suggesting that I have 60% mastery, losing some versatility %, but I also notice that most of the rogues that are in the top 5% are around 50% mastery and 20% versatility? Is it something with Sim, or Am I missing something?

lilac stag
#

Vers lets you survive

#

Top keys are about survival as much as damage

pale python
#

how bout mythic raid progression?

#

same rule?

lilac stag
#

Vers higher in ST stat weights more than likely

#

Just equip you best gear

#

Don’t worry about secondary stats

pale python
#

Well I have 630, and I'm just juggling the rings and trying to min-max my stats 🙂

lilac stag
#

so run top gear and be done with it

short radish
lilac stag
#

If it has vers/mastey it’s likely going to beat a similar piece that has crit or haste. It’s not too complicated.

short radish
#

and the vers that you already have

#

is going to be way more than the random class stacking mast/crit

mint swift
#

Stack speed

#

fastest character faster cleara

#

Simple maths ;)

#

Jk ofc

lilac stag
#

speed is not a secondary stat

pale python
lilac stag
#

It’s a tertiary stat.

mint swift
#

Fuck your right

#

My joke ruined

vestal escarp
#

To know if singular focus is dipping in this plague dmg buff we have to wait wednesday i guess

#

Cause if it does the combo bp buffed + focus buffed should not be underestimated

wide magnet
#

like who is running 50% mast

#

nobody is really playing sub in high keys and rogue does not need vers to survive so i’m more inclined to infer it’s about stat budget and ilvl

hazy breach
#

A. It just doesnt matter that much how your vers/mastery is spread out

wide magnet
#

correct

hazy breach
#

B. Pretty much every single item is super heavy vers and a tiny bit of mastery

#

So naturally youll have higher vers

#

Just because theres no option not to as long as youre using vers+mastery items

wide magnet
#

ya

#

justification given was "vers = survival"

#

and i think this is misleading at best

wide magnet
#

ya you just don't have the items that would have you prefer the vers

#

is all

pale python
#

I was simming to compare with this ring

#

that gives me 20% versta

wide magnet
#

ring sucks

upbeat sorrel
#

crit is bad for sub innit

vestal escarp
#

No, but less valuable than vers mast

they call you sonic

fallow nimbus

But not super sonic

tribal blade
#

most of the time it's not noticable, but it becomes very noticable at higher key levels when there's massive amounts of damage going out

#

esp on certain bosses

wide magnet
#

idk play elusiveness

tribal blade
#

well yeah

wide magnet
#

this class is invincible

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't exactly say that

#

but yeah feint goes hard

wide magnet
#

doesnt matter....

#

not outlaw not sin......

round latch
tribal blade
#

most sin rogues are running almost no vers atm

#

so sub basically is taking a flat 10% less damage than sin at all times

#

which is very significant

wide magnet
#

not significant enough to be a budgeting factor

tribal blade
#

for sub? it's not like we lose damage by getting more vers

wide magnet
#

i don't disagree that vers is gucci just think that "survivability" to most players (and in the same vein stats entirely) exists as this kind of vague and nebulous concept to assign reasoning to things

#

which is the game's fault ultimately

#

it feels good to take less damage but if you do not die that's all that matters

#

top top keys you can assign blame to defensives or healer because the people you are playing with are names instead of classes

#

i love to blame my healer for not healing me

#

speaking of getting vers gapped

whats the worse rogue talent

this gotta be the worse rogue talent

severe prism

When to chose Deathstalker or Trickster in m+ ? From my (low) understanding of it
Deathstalker is more st/prio target and more big aoe
Trickster is like always pretty good and better in cleave (so it's probably the best in most keys)
Am i right ? (considering coming tuning)

are you guys still gated by this talent

no because the talent under it also giga stink
