#

i remeber swapping to assa cuz sub did way too low dmg

edgy zenith
#

just go DS and hit the boss

#

or swap Sin like a good boy

sinful sluice
#

like

#

at first i was only gonna practice sin for ovinax

#

but im doing assa for every bosses

edgy zenith
#

yeah, it be like that

#

Sub is good now though

sinful sluice
#

cuz it does more dmg overall

#

+I suck at sub

#

wanna get better but idk how to

edgy zenith
#

smack a dummy for an hour and ping eleem

#

with questions

#

(DO NOT ping Eleem)

worn cape
#

but the guy just got 26 responses disapawnted

uneven scarab
#

(Get the flag+dance windows down)

#

And u will be a sub god

#

trust

sinful sluice
#

i thought i was doing that

edgy zenith
sinful sluice
#

but my numbers are...

edgy zenith
#

0 responses

worn cape
sinful sluice
#

this is opener yeah?

#

and save symbols + 2 dance for another round

#

but idk i just do no dmg at all

edgy zenith
#

yep, but most sub people lose damage around 1min-2min

uneven scarab
#

Yeah i mean looks good to me

topaz raptor
#

did you waste the point sfrom premed

sinful sluice
#

whats premed?

uneven scarab
#

nah dont think he did

#

He went ss -> evisc

#

should be fine

edgy zenith
#

impossible to tell you what is going wrong without the full log. but just make sure you have 2 SoD and 2 dance ready for each flag while getting off as many sectechs as possible

#

that's how you do good basically

sinful sluice
#

heres the log

topaz raptor
#

oh nvm there's a rupture

sinful sluice
#

if anyone could give feedbacks id be greatful

#

wanna get back to sub tbh

worn cape
#

At how many seconds of flag left should you then hold sod and dance?

edgy zenith
#

this is wrong

#

hold your SoD and dance until sectech comes back up

uneven scarab
#

^^^

swift tinsel
uneven scarab
#

Synch everything around sectech

sinful sluice
#

so use third dance+symbols a bit later?

uneven scarab
#

Yes

sinful sluice
#

ohh ok

uneven scarab
#

Wait till sectech is ready

#

Should be your first finisher in dance always

edgy zenith
#

make sure one of your first 2 finishers after a sod is sectech

#

this is BIG damage loss

uneven scarab
#

Ya not supercharging sectech is a fat L

sinful sluice
#

i thought i was stacking up the stacks for sectech

#

but this is old tech right?

edgy zenith
#

even if that was the tech, you didn't do it anyway lmao

uneven scarab
#

Dm stacks are old news

edgy zenith
#

but no

#

DM is never thoguht about ever

sinful sluice
#

so

1.never use dance+sybols without sectech on

2.first finisher after dance+symbols should ALWAYS be sectech

edgy zenith
#

correct

uneven scarab
#

first or second but ideally first

swift tinsel
#

unless you're playing DS and have DN active

uneven scarab
#

but yes

swift tinsel
#

then Evisc first

edgy zenith
#

fuck all that min/max

sinful sluice
edgy zenith
#

this mans needs help first

sinful sluice
#

this is dmg loss too, yeah?

edgy zenith
#

yes

uneven scarab
#

yeah very bad

edgy zenith
#

a lot

#

like a lot a lot

sinful sluice
#

cuz is spent two supercharger with evis

#

ok ok

swift tinsel
#

not supercharging Sectech is verrrrry bad

sinful sluice
#

i think im starting to get a hang of it

edgy zenith
#

supercharging sectech (espeically 2nd sectech in flag window) is like CRUCIAL

#

if you don't do that, you'rel osing literally millions of damage for free each time you do it

sinful sluice
#

outside this. follow the baisic rule:

opener + dance/symbol once, use third dance/symbols with sectech on/ when flag is at 30 secs do not send dance, send symbols+sectechs only

#

repeat at 1:30

#

right?

edgy zenith
#

that'll get you most of the way there, yep

uneven scarab
#

2 dances 2 sods +flag and blades in burst window

sinful sluice
#

alright i should go practice on dummies

edgy zenith
worn cape
#

Wrapping my head around sub is a bit hard lol

uneven scarab
#

if you can watch a streamer with an action tracker it might help alot

edgy zenith
#

no amount of thinking about it is going to help, just do it

#

no amount of watching is going to help

uneven scarab
#

see when and why they press their buttons

edgy zenith
#

just do it

uneven scarab
#

true

sinful sluice
#

i spent a lots of times doing dummies but i was doing the wrong way the whole time 💀

#

now i know what to do

edgy zenith
#

also, I found hitting a dummy for like an EXTREMELY long time instead of doing like back to back 3min pulls

#

is way more helpful as Sub

sinful sluice
#

btw whats the meta now?

#

DS for all?

edgy zenith
#

because it gets you in the mindset of watching your charges and thinking about what to send. instead of just "I press these buttons"

#

uhhh, look at logs for each boss and copy them

#

depends

swift tinsel
#

DS single target, either or for cleave/aoe

sinful sluice
#

cuz, top logs are quite often padded

#

so idk

#

maybe i should just copy eleem's

uneven scarab
#

trickster still the play in 90% of cases i believe

edgy zenith
#

pad is good on almost all bosses this tier

swift tinsel
#

That's what I do, trickster supremacy

#

comfy double sectechs in flag/transmitter is too nice

sharp kernel
#

Just be in a dance during pad, and you win

uneven scarab
#

Yeah the cdr from coup makes it way easier to play

#

either way

hazy breach
edgy zenith
#

think that's what he meant by comfy

#

no min/maxing the task

sinful sluice
#

eleem do you use BP for ulgrax and ovinax now?

#

wanna try out that build

hazy breach
#

If you wanted max overall or youre playing deathstalker ye

edgy zenith
#

bro just hit the boss, I'm telling you. it don't matter

swift tinsel
sinful sluice
#

i know it dont matter but i want dps pepehands

swift tinsel
#

bc I think its only simming at like ~1% diff between the two in ST for me

sinful sluice
#

our team is strong enough to push without me

#

just wanna get some dmgs done

subtle jay
#

!stats

wicked joltBOT
#

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste

swift tinsel
#

I also think transmitter orb is coded to my GUID bc I get that shit too often

vale pine
#

trickster def. feels nicer to play

swift tinsel
#

we're aotc only so I have zero pressure to min/max for that minimal of a gain in the context of the content

edgy zenith
#

and you get an extra raidbuff

#

which is sick

#

trickster raidbuff is OPOP

swift tinsel
#

we're melee-heavy so its a net benefit

uneven scarab
#

Truuu

sinful sluice
#

next week its 11% right?

#

damn huge

#

i bet thats worth few thousands of versatility

swift tinsel
#

Huh?

#

Oh are you talking about the strands one

#

we're talking about parry-proof from trickster

upbeat escarp
#

guys i am carrying an essence in 2nd set of p3 ansurek, cloak works for passing through the ring?

hazy breach
#

No

#

But you can step over it

upbeat escarp
#

ok thanks!

polar dragon
#

Hey situational question, If secret technique is up, symbols has 10+ seconds of CD left, are you sending the Secret Technique?

Is there an agreed upon time that you can always refresh ST cooldown in in standard practice?

swift tinsel
#

No, you want supercharger from SoD

polar dragon
#

Ok so it's ALWAYS best to hold ST for SoD with 2x supercharger

uneven scarab
#

Yes

hazy breach
#

If by 2x you mean using only one symbols and getting 2 supercharged points and not 2x symbols ye

polar dragon
#

Lovely, and if you're at 6/7 combo points about to send a ST, you get up to 7/7 combo points?

hazy breach
#

You'd get 9/10

polar dragon
hazy breach
#

Not 7/7

swift tinsel
#

forced induction affects 2 finishers

hazy breach
#

Or wait nvm i missunderstood

#

Nah you can send sectech at 6 too

#

Most of the time its gonna be 7 anyway

polar dragon
#

I understand the 9/10 because of the 3 "added" combo points

#

I find myself at 6/7 on my bar a lot and wonder if its worth sending another builder

swift tinsel
#

Nah

#

with the relative strength of finishers

uneven scarab
#

Oh definitely not

polar dragon
#

Because my haste is garbage and I don't think I can afford that downtime

swift tinsel
#

Haste is supposed to be very low

uneven scarab
#

you dont wanna waste a gcd on a builder in your cd’s

#

If you can help it

polar dragon
#

I just figured if we're whoring for SoD combo points, maybe forcing max combo points even if you're at 6 might be worth it

uneven scarab
#

nah

#

Just send

polar dragon
#

love it

#

Thanks!

uneven scarab
#

Finisher spec likes to use finishers

polar dragon
#

Makes sense, but my understanding was that we're sending finishers to get more ST out

#

and building all our burst through that

uneven scarab
#

Yeah but building from 6cp to 7cp is a big waste of a gcd

polar dragon
#

agreed i have been skipping that but figured its worth askign if i should be doing it

swift tinsel
#

and combo points, if you're in dance

uneven scarab
#

yeah for sure

polar dragon
#

Subs a fun spec, without Slice and dice bloat it feels really nice. It's simming higher than assa in assa gear, so it's time to re-learn! Thanks everybody!

@vale pine confused.com, what is performing better sin or sub raid/m+? I can play both and enjoy both. But on paper which is better?

hazy breach
#

Except for rashanan and ovinax where assa is better

open vortex
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
sinful finch
#

M+ i’m guessing still goes to sin

uneven scarab
#

It does

#

Sub blows up bosses in m+ tho

sinful finch
#

By the look of the sims there isn’t much between both sin and sub ST anyway. So, i’m guessing play what you want is the answer

vale pine
sinful finch
#

Fair. I guess we are in a good position

cursive vapor

upbeat sorrel
#

do you guys pop a symbols before pull during raid

hazy breach
#

Ideally yes

sinful sluice
#

Idk why but i slowly keep on losing track of my symbol/dance sequence after 2 mins

#

I dont have 2 dances and symbols ready to go for cds even if i send blank symbols before 30secs

hazy breach
#

You dont need both ready when you press flag

#

You need 1 charge and then atleast like 40 seconds left on your second charge

#

And for symbols its just like 10s left

sinful sluice
#

Yeah but i experince a situation where i have dance ready but symbol is on cd for like 18 secs

#

Do i hold dance a bit in this situations?

hazy breach
#

Then youve used too many symbols beforehand

sinful sluice
#

Hmm i better record myself with streamer plugins on

bleak wind
#

so how come between the eyes gets cdr off itself but sectech doesn't can we talk about that

left ledge
#

Sectec doesn’t even interact with our “main” cooldown

#

So

#

Let them start there first man

there is also a funny one if sec tech is at like 3 secs off cd

The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.

At same ilvl

sinful sluice
#

do i send blank symbol here or nah?

hazy breach
#

You will not have 2 symbols for flag if you do

sinful sluice
#

yeah just expereinced that

#

maybe I have to change the way of thinking

#

cuz ive been sending blank symbols everytime before flag is at 30secs

how many targets do we rupture before going into aoe big dmg?

wind canopy

Just whatever you can if they're not gathered, then fire CDs. If they're already gathered, just fire CDs

just doing +8-10, stuff is dying pretty fast nowdays, so i guess insta bomb after 1-2 ruptures

Im kinda tilted by that egg trinket, any way to sim it not playing perfectly

#

its like on heavy movment bosses really hate it

sorry i don't know why i screenshotted instead of copy pasting

where can i find new DS mythic+ build?

#

nvm found em

shell bramble
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
forest furnace
#

can i just macro shadow blades in with flag or is there a reason not to?

hazy breach
#

It would waste a lot of your shadow blades

#

Since flag doesnt really do any damage itself during its gcd, nor does the rupture you apply afterwards

#

And you already have premed for the strike afterwards from entering dance so you'll get full cp regardless

#

So the last gcd is entirely wasted, but its only the damage on a strike, which is worse than having the damage and the cp later on.

#

The reason there arent many macros recommended isnt because we hate macros, its because using our spells at the exact same time is not ideal

sinful sluice
#

what is black powder doing to them

#

never saw theses before cuz i only slahsed trickster

lucid jackal
#

They need to nerf black powder again this shit is so fucking annoying

#

This spec was so perfect and then they buffed black powder

#

Unreal

the add when taken away on last boss necrotic wake why does it evade all attacks sometimes? can i not press dance or what

lilac stag

You have tricks up

And it’s snapping to tank

oh makes sense

lilac stag

Cancel tricks or kidney shot it and kill it.

Goto WA discord maybe?

Esp with the annoying rules now with it for trickster

I've been pretty flippant with gold so far

I have a sneaky suspicion that s2 ain’t gonna see a material jump that is of any worth. Way too many doing nothing with mats right now.

anyone have any tips for starting out queen prog, anything you wish you knew before you started

#

nothing is too simple/stupid

swift tinsel

shadowstepping wrest in p2 is fun

#

that's all I got lol

tribal blade
#

mostly asking because sometimes i start these bosses and then find out tech halfway through prog that would have made the start of prog INFINITELY easier

swift tinsel
#

step in general is extremely useful

#

for queen

tribal blade
#

yeah i've seen the step tech in P3

swift tinsel
#

assuming you've done normal/hc and know about vanish/cloaking tombs

tribal blade
#

i haven't looked into exactly where i'm gonna be using them for the roots, but i'm aware yeah

#

have 2 warriors on my raid team so i assume some sets will explode

swift tinsel
#

if you have people assigned to solo or nuke them you're golden though

#

yeah

tribal blade
#

and these 2 warrs are REALLY good at padding lol

swift tinsel
#

sub can handle them really well too

tribal blade
#

yeah sectec goes hard

#

can you survive the blades and poison waves with feint up

#

i know feint at least works on wrest

lucid jackal

Use ur cds asap on 1st platform so its up as shes RPing in p3

So many fights just force u to run around

They all got the fuckin contract

i would play contract over egg if i have mythic one

#

same ig

clever delta

im getting tilted by egg

lucid jackal

just dont think about egg and u cant get tilted

but is propably so strong that i just need to stop adhd and accept it

lucid jackal
#

3k dps loss to go contract

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#
  • it just doesnt work on bloodbound for example
clever delta
#

trisckter

tribal blade
#

first pull using skardyn's seems like equal dps

clever delta
#

so i need to balance my gear so if i play DS i throw in vers flask and for trisckter mastery flask :D:

tribal blade
#

for less hassle

lilac stag
#

clearly you need more haste

clever delta
#

many chinesese rogues play skaradyn

if you immune an orb set with cloak you won't spawn any with circles overlapping you right

not sure about that, i usually go under boss

hey fellas i was playing trickster before i see we use gloomblade in St now, when do i send it ?

wind canopy
#

Pretty sure gloomblade is only with DS...

lucid jackal
#

well it replaces backstab either u

#

u "send it" when u would "send" backstab..

wind canopy
#

And yeah, you'd use it outside of CDs

robust light
#

wtf

#

ok thx

robust light
tribal blade
#

you'd probably get more value out of imp sht

low agate
#

When you shadow dance do you want your 1st finisher to be secret tech or evis

robust light
#

meaning i take guess w hat

#

gloombladeeee

#
  • i mostly raid on sub
tribal blade
#

yeah gloom is good with DS

#

although i legit found it feels better to run imp sht

#

cdr becomes noticably better

#

but that's just preference

round latch
#

cool cool

tribal blade
#

i feel like those talent options are such low impact it doesn't really matter

round latch
#

its more like the ultimate minmax pov

tribal blade
#

and imp sht means you can get fucked on uptime and still make cdr checks

round latch
#

or that 😅

#

btw

tribal blade
#

heehee

round latch
#

someone HAS to give u a green name

tribal blade
#

LOL hell no

#

i do not do near enough in this discord to be a green name

round latch
#

u have more knowledge and quality that the vast majority in here

#

my old eyes see that

#

😂

tribal blade
#

ehhhh i dunno, i'm just a parrot

#

i just see what the green names say and mold my life around that

round latch
#

Ill start open war with Eleem and Armin

#

joking ofc

#

u r just fine

vale pine
#

whats the question?

round latch
#

idk,i didnt tag u mr fuu starege

#

but now that u are here,give this man a green name

vale pine
#

green names don't need to be TC's or high raiders, just helpful people

round latch

prophet is positive energy,i love positive energy,the man has the vibes

please don't give me green name, then i have to do stuff

hacha was a green name for a bit

#

So I started using black powder with the rule you guys told me. I can def see the difference but good god it is sad that BP sits this high up on trickster

uneven fern
#

why sad

#

big damage

tribal blade
#

imagine if as trickster nimble just replaced BP or something

round latch
#

even on trickster

#

im gonna try it as well

tulip token
fair anchor
#

Am I the only one that doesnt hate the new BP priority as trickster ? 😅

#

I like that it interacts with some of our capstones that were basically passive stuff we just talent and forget

tribal blade
#

BP doing big dam is fun 😉

haughty mural
keen dome
#

Nothing could've been funnier.

pliant topaz
#

I think its nice that bp has its place in the aoe rotation

#

like you can make meaningful choices

keen dome
#

I like that the playstyle of both hero trees is a bit different, too.

pliant topaz
#

u can still evis at 8 target if you want the extra prio, or you can pad for more overall

tribal blade
#

i honestly think i'd be alright with it, i just haven't been doing many keys recently so i haven't practiced it enough

haughty mural
#

yes tbh the more i play it, the more i like
a little change of pace depending on the target count is kinda refreshing some times

tribal blade
#

it'll probably feel better with more muscle memory

pliant topaz
#

yeah I enjoy it, the only thing that is awkward is the FW tracking

tribal blade
pliant topaz
#

but with the strict dance rotation with rotten that ones rpetty good too

haughty mural
#

yea FW tacking is kinda meh

cursive vapor
#

this the only thing we should craft?

pliant topaz
#

you dont really want haste/mast

#

also you want a 2nd embelishment as well

haughty mural
#

kinda hate that shadowed finisher is tied to FW

tribal blade
#

yeah it does feel like shadowed finishers is kind of holding back sub

#

both in terms of design and bugs

haughty mural
#

🤏 we are this close

keen dome
#

I guess you could say it's casting a long shadow.

alpine wraith
#

yea fw and shadowed are super bad rn

#

fw because it got made irrelevant

#

and shadowed because it breaks shit half the time and also makes no sense

keen dome
#

Put SecTec as the first choice on the tree and just.. I dunno. FW is very weird. Bake it into the spec as a bonus? Remove it entirely or re-work it? It just doesn't seem worthwhile or thematically interesting.

tulip token
# cerulean beacon Used at 4+ targets?

Yeah 5+ targets. But like they said, if you have a scary add that needs to die like the shadow guys on the stairs at DB you could evis for prio damage or BP for meter pad

vestal escarp
#

But chat

#

Big hit is a no no

#

Evis should be fragmented into 3 hits

#

Or 6

keen dome
#

I live for the BIG CRITS. More BIG HITS.

vestal escarp
#

Some dn can hit for 9M total

#

But you see 6m and then the shadowed part

#

I always liked shadowed finishers thematically

pliant topaz
#

I dont think that was the reason tbh

#

from what ive seen it was introduced around the same time (in terms of functionality) as other specs got their "crit scaling"

#

except, its not really functional as ctit scaling, so they introduced gauranteed ways of proccing it

#

so its just broken

#

but as a concept, i think theres a lot you can do with FW. just depends what u wanna do as a developer

#

like a few examples : if u want sub to has insnae uncapped aoe -> you can make FW hit each target its on seperately without the sqrt added to it

#

u want sub to have cleave? instead of nimble just make targets with FW take damage again

#

you want more burst? make FW stack then sectech pops it, or after dance it pops or w/e.

#

like theres things u can do just depends if u wanna do anything with it

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

you can just make FW only applied on dance and vanish like way back and make it 100% arpen and go full phys

#

almost the same dmg and no shitshows

keen dome
#

Putting more stuff into dance is cool, imo

tribal blade
#

that was partly why sub cranked so hard during dance

alpine wraith
#

i was so mad in legion

#

it paned out but i guess the worst was going from bfa to sl

#

if people didnt know beginning of legion was a super wash

#

and also the dance spam was super high

tribal blade
#

it was so long ago i have a hard time remembering exact specifics

alpine wraith
#

i have selective memory

#

but my madness goes further

tribal blade
#

i do remember i only found out about the goremaw's WM bug until after it got fixed

#

and then i was mad i didn't get to abuse it haha

#

i would have liked to have seen gorewmaw do it's damage three times in a row

alpine wraith
#

it got bugged again eventually when they fixed dfa

#

it was more than three times

#

you one shot fools

#

i do miss old wm

#

the one we have now is so sad

tribal blade
#

i feel like they could make WM work more like back then

#

so include storm and other abilities

#

probably only builders

vestal escarp
#

Wm is boring anyway

tribal blade
#

if they included finishers like back then it'd have to go back down to a small % again

#

i think WM interacting with storm would be sick

#

more combo points in aoe

vestal escarp
#

Would be useful at low targets situations only

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly

vestal escarp
#

During sod with craft storm gives full anyway

tribal blade
#

i'm always thinking of ways that our downtime can be made to feel less crappy

alpine wraith
#

there is no way for an energy class for it to not feel bad

#

it is what it is

tribal blade
#

35 energy storm UwU

lilac stag
#

just casually ignore energy as a resource. It’s fine

alpine wraith
#

well assa and outlaw are special in that regard

#

and tbh assa does feel like sewage on st with no cds

dreamy badger
#

It kinda does imo

#

Not in raid

#

But in m+

#

Assa that is*

tribal blade
#

sin has the curse of sacrificing quite a lot of ST to do the insane aoe it has

vale pine
#

it does enough prio damage to make up for that easy

#

so it only rly matters when there is forced one target situations for extrended time

keen dome
#

M+ is so dire right now. Weeklies are such an exercise in frustration that it's actively unfun to even try.

vale pine
#

hot take

alpine wraith
#

yea people have been getting worse for some reason

vale pine
#

its not a new one, we discussed it before

alpine wraith
#

maybe most people cba now

vale pine
#

but wow needs a solo q system

keen dome
#

Is i- yes

#

YES

alpine wraith
#

would be a solution

keen dome
#

Just give me a way to queue into a key at +10 and blast. I waited for an hour to get into a single DB+10 this morning, applying to over 40 keys. And then I get in and it's a tank who's never touched the content before somehow and we wipe to the first bsos. And then trash. And then more trash. And then he just runs at people with the fear circle and goes "I can't survive this"

vale pine
#

if you give them a more convinient alternative via soloq, you reduce the bad player pool in grouped m+

keen dome
#

Solo queue creates it's own issues. But it'd smooth it out and make it a little less frustrating, yeah.

vale pine
#

or iterating on delves, make thema actual fun to play and improve reward/difficultly

keen dome
#

Easy to make it flow by letting you queue for content you've timed+1 (So if you time a +9, you can queue for a 10 and so on)

alpine wraith
keen dome
#

Yeah, absolutely hacha

alpine wraith
#

im almost there to stop btw just need some more gildeds

alpine wraith
#

then fuck that content

#

and they suck at their alts

#

then

keen dome
#

So weeklies become more of a slog. I should try doing 11's I guess as it migth be smoother

alpine wraith
#

no way we wipe on first boss NW 10

#

some weeks ago

#

even the most krangled ass group did fine

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Like, looking at my details this tank I just had didn't use a defensive once on boss 1 of DB+10.

#

It's just depressingly trolling levels of stuff

alpine wraith
#

one spriest did 800k overall

keen dome
#

Solo queue wouldn't remove this, but it'd limit it and if you could only queue for content you've done+1, it'd elminae a lot of smaller issues.

#

You could still have long queue times but it's preferable to applying to 40+ keys

#

I also think they need to delete this affix. It's too punishing to fail it.

plush roost
#

Man i keep seeing people doomering about weekly keys, am i blessed with good groups or smthn?

#

Idk it doesn't feel that bad to me

#

Tbh DF season 2 weekly keys were much much more painful. Zero dungeons freebies like shadowmoon

Maximizing FW uptime, rupture, sang veins

keen dome

And then strike evis spam for légion launch

plush roost

Yeah i can definitely see that

dreamy badger
#

Gaming with friends is the solution

keen dome
#

I don't even mind not timing. It's the outright.. not finishableness

plush roost
#

I'm sure when I was learning DH i was public enemy number 1

plush roost
keen dome
#

I think if you know the dungeons it's fine to learn doing it. I keep running into people doing 10's who just don't know the content

#

and I don't get that attitude at all

short radish
#

or how to play the class

plush roost
#

I wonder if they know the content but are so overloaded learning a new thing they can't do it

short radish
#

somehow i played with a 630 ret pal who did 1.1m overall

#

i didnt think that was possible to play that bad as ret

short radish
#

when its the most mongo bongo spec there is

alpine wraith
#

i would be glad if they did 1.1

#

i was with a 700k hunter and 800 spriest

🙃

alpine wraith

i think i ended the key with 2.7m overall

#

leaden prairie

i was just bad

short radish

poor non vers stacking classes

leaden prairie

its hard to have the same survivability

when you are learning a spec

plush roost
#

The switch from 20% verse to 5% verse is definitely something.

leaden prairie
#

you dont have the same brain avability to allocate to mechanics

plush roost
#

Truth, mental bandwidth is real

keen dome
#

When I was learning Assa, I kept dying to the 2nd boss in DB because I fixated on damage like a sillybilly

leaden prairie
keen dome
#

Wasn't used to the ability cadence and feint wasn't OGCD so I was struggling

plush roost
#

Me when the group burst the adds before i can even get 2 finishers off

tribal blade
#

i dunno what you're all on about, i have literally never died once in wow

#

ever

plush roost
#

I believe it

keen dome
#

Haha

plush roost
#

You'd be the goat in hardcore retail

tribal blade
#

(except when i'm perma dead on the floor)

#

dude hardcore scares the crap out of me, there's no way haha

#

i wouldn't make it out of the starting zone

plush roost
#

It looks fun to be in that only fangs guild

#

Alas i am a pleb

leaden prairie
#

I don't really get the point of hardcore

plush roost
#

Playing solo sounds mad boring, frostbolt spam and then die cause im oom

leaden prairie
#

You do piss easy content all day, that is mega boring

#

But if you make a single mistake you die

keen dome
#

I'd find a way to die to the first mob in hardcore

tribal blade
#

i have no interest in going back to content i did when it was current

keen dome
#

I'm just that hardcore.

plush roost
#

I mean watching people do dungeons and watching them go wrong

#

And just having that panic

leaden prairie
#

Sounds like the challenge is to just not fall asleep

plush roost
#

Is pretty cool

#

But everything else is so w.e

tribal blade
#

hardcore death videos are pretty legendary

leaden prairie
#

Hardcore players seems to also be barely human ngl

keen dome
#

Haha

leaden prairie
#

Every time you see a clip of a guy dying in hardcore

tribal blade
#

my guildies actually got featured on a bunch of streamer's videos because they had an epic RFK wipe

leaden prairie
#

They are just panicking for 0 reason

keen dome
#

I can def see the attraction but just not my thing. I feel the same about revisiting content I did like that. Dull.

leaden prairie
#

Clicking their spells

#

And forgetting they have spells that can help them

#

Buddy pressing one spell a minute and still doing mistakes ain't no way

keen dome
#

I did uh.. up to DM's and it was so.. "wow this is so boring" to me. No real mechanics, nothing to do but push 1 button.

tribal blade
plush roost
#

Well a lot of hardcore players aren't gigagamers i think. If they were they would just play retail mythic, since that is inherently more enjoyable

keen dome
#

True, ye

#

If you have fun with it, power to you.

tribal blade
#

hardcore is actually more about knowledge than gameplay

leaden prairie
#

its silly knowledge tho

#

you have to know what every mob in kalimdor does

tribal blade
#

the people who do well in hardcore have an insane knowledge of classic wow

#

yeah it's kinda dumb

#

it's much more fun to figure out a hard mythic fight

#

i like actual gameplay

plush roost
#

I used to love playing Fate, Torchlight 2 or Diablo Hardcore since it added an extra train of thought to my gameplay. Probably the same for classic players doing hardcore.

#

Ik if retail had a hardcore mode i wouldn't play it tho haha

#

Too much to lose too easily

tribal blade
#

i dunno what's gonna happen with classic players when they're cycling into exapansions with far more difficult content

#

because a lot of those players are basically unable to do the content

plush roost
#

MoP might be the first real wakeup call imo

tribal blade
#

yeah MoP is a starting point to that

plush roost
#

That's when the game became more modern

tribal blade
#

most of the classic players won't be able to participate in mythic siege

#

if they literally can't do a target dummy boss and watch threat meters

plush roost
#

Tbh, a lot of retail players couldn't participate in mythic seige

tribal blade
#

this is very true

#

good pint

#

plush roost
#

Dark animus even

#

killing that boss on heroic during remix

keen dome
#

25-man heroic siege

plush roost
#

Absolute banger

keen dome
#

Prior to the Mythic change.

#

That was an amazing time.

tribal blade
#

"ok everyone take out your aoe tinkers"

#

and then have to inspect every single person

keen dome
#

My guild had the highest prog on our server for 25-man Heroic. We ended uh.. on the big dinosaur just as the Mythic change in.

plush roost
#

My favorite part of mop remix was week 1, my guild did world tour and we actually had to fight the bosses

alpine wraith
#

classic players already got destroyed in ulduar dont worry

plush roost
#

It was so much fun mini-progging those fights

alpine wraith
#

now it is like 1/4 of the population or less

keen dome
#

Yeah

plush roost
#

Then the dk played for 100hrs in 1 week and was monstering the meters with their threads

tribal blade
#

was week 1 the meta gem cheese

#

i forget the holy one

the one you put on the tank

#

Ah yeah waed

#

#

Tactical Tank Explosion

#

I am excited for Legion Remix at the end of 2025

plush roost
#

I hope legion remix has something better than meta gems

keen dome
#

100% gonna be the weapons

plush roost
#

Like just give us all legendaries

keen dome
#

YES

plush roost
#

And maxed weaps

keen dome
#

I bet you we get equip all legendaries + weapon gimmick

tribal blade
#

i'm actually really hyped for legion remix, was it confirmed?

#

or is it still speculation

keen dome
#

No but highly hinted at

#

The green bar at the end of the roadmap + Ion's comment

tribal blade
#

that green tint

plush roost
#

No but its hinted hard

keen dome
#

It'd make the most sense since it's the logical one to do imo

tribal blade
#

imagine if we get artifact weapons back

keen dome
#

Weapons are the obvious Cloak replacement

tribal blade
#

holy shit

plush roost
#

Hy shit

#

Imagine a world

tribal blade
#

no fall damage sub incoming

plush roost
#

Where we are immune to fall damage

keen dome
#

I bet it'll be the weapons as the cloak variant but you get a new talent tree

#

And they put it all into that as a way to power

#

Also a lotta cool stuff they can do. A lot of good raids.

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't be able to kill people on their flying mounts though sadly

#

no dfa

keen dome
#

Haha

tribal blade
#

i did that a LOT during legion

#

because if you did the right sequence

#

you could kill someone on their flying mount

alpine wraith
#

killing people in mounts was peak in wod and legion

#

cloak and dagger and shadowstrike tp were silly

tribal blade
#

abuse all the strikes, dfa and vanish haha

keen dome
#

Doing the warden towers and someone knocks you off. "Aha, you think GRAVITY can beat ME?!"

#

I am curious what the next remix would be after legion

#

MoP and LEgion are both very self-contained and easy to adapt

tribal blade
#

maybe wod?

keen dome
#

WoD would be a good one yeah

tribal blade
#

or they go newer and get like bfa or SL even

keen dome
#

BfA is a logical one but it's two land-masses which makes it awkward and the old world zone stuff

#

MoP worked well because it was exclusively one location.

tribal blade
#

i would be very depressed to go back to bfa

keen dome
#

Wouldn't be shocked if they just do Legion and MoP and cycling between them.

#

But I could def see a SL remix working well

tribal blade
#

SL remix but it's only torghast

#

1000 floor torghast

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

#

See, they could do some cool as heck stuff with Torghast in remix

#

SL remix: you can be in all 4 covenants at once

tribal blade
#

i'm in a very small minority of players who actually enjoyed torghast

keen dome
#

Another thing about legion remix is that they can do mage tower stuff.

#

And while i would highly like to see them bring the mage tower apperances back for it because come on blizz, I imagine they'll do entirely new ones

tribal blade
#

they would honestly have to dial back the legion content for remix

#

because legion had an insane amount of content

keen dome
#

I dunno, I think it'd work well. MoP did too.

tribal blade
#

it will be very fun going back

keen dome
#

Ye

#

They're such a good place to finish up achievements and stuff

#

I'll be very torn on what to level.. Druid in MoP was a ton of fun.

#

But legion-era Sub.. ooooh.

#

I wouldn't be shocked to see dragonflight remix after legion actually.

#

Another expansion that lends itself to the formula pretty easily

lilac stag
tribal blade
lilac stag
vale pine
#

torghast is a good concept with poor implementation

cursive vapor
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

instead of a fun side adventure option

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Delves are better because they're expressly not mandatory at all. It's like IE's in BfA too. Or any other system where as soon as it's mandatory to be cutting edge or stay up-to-date.. It's dire.

#

Being able to put it down and go "I'll come abck to this in a week or six" and not be any the worse off is good

#

Torghast, IE's.. They're really good basis for 'evergreen' systems that reward cosmetics and achievements and work as an alternative gearing system. Just.. not when you tie major player power to them.

tribal blade
#

i can imagine the feeling people who don't have a great amount of time to play wow feel with chores like that yeah
