vagrant sinew
#

doubt thats very different than other seasons

tribal blade
#

usually NA participation is higher

#

given how large the NA playerbase is

vagrant sinew
#

s3, 15 out of top 120 are NA

tribal blade
#

OR i'm completely wrong

#

this is the first season i've actually looked hard into it

wind canopy
#

There's usually some person that does a chart that shows how many keys are ran a week during a season

wind canopy
#

Yee

sharp kernel
#

Can I sim dslice for keys or should I sim some other way

wind canopy

Mainly for gearing aspects. Not for actual expected overall.

edgy zenith
#

pressing Evis is still more funnel, right?

#

like am I pressing Evis still on first pull of CoT

#

even if it's like 5 targets?

#

or just BP?

tribal blade
#

if you're playing trickster it's definitely more funnel

tribal blade
vagrant sinew
#

no clue

vale pine
#

guess we will all farm the ring now that they made the base item level so high

tribal blade
#

i might not have enough time to get it before raid if the gems aren't easy to get

#

would feel bad if my guild decides to do a reclear and don't have the ring

short radish
#

what if we just

#

refused to get the ring

#

and we all took a stand

vale pine
#

first week is whatever

#

its like 0.3% dps

#

but it goes up in power level after

#

item level carries it

edgy zenith
#

ring sims updated?

#

with buffs?

tribal blade
#

less stress for me on patch release

lilac stag
short radish
vale pine
tribal blade
#

gotcha

pliant topaz
#

eleem was saying the buffs werent on ptr yet. surely they dont just merge again and have to emergency hotfix

vale pine
#

Ring seems to be about equally strong on all 3, interesting

meager kelp
#

Hello guys, maybe someone can help me, im almost new on wow and i leveling a sub rogue for playing it PVP, my friend give me some gold to buy gear, when i reach 80 is there any gear i can buy with gold that will help me?

short radish
#

how much gold?

meager kelp
#

Like 200k

hearty girder
short radish
# meager kelp Like 200k

buy crappy greens/blues at 561 ilvl to get you started -> farm random bgs to get honor to craft pvp gear

#

save that 200k to buy enchants

#

and gems

pliant topaz
short radish
#

!ring

hearty girder
vale pine
hearty girder
#

Where can I see what these do

pliant topaz
#

wowhead should have it

vale pine
#

pin has all the links

pliant topaz
#

the description of gems

meager kelp
#

Like dragonflight i know there were some items that could be crafted with professions

vale pine
#

i also updated the disclaimer^^ ring is now def. worth it

hearty girder
#

Thank you again lol

pliant topaz
vale pine
#

now need to update wowhead too -.-

#

thanks blizzard for the last minute changes

pliant topaz
hearty girder
paper siren
#

So the ring will be good?

hearty girder
#

Lol

vale pine
hearty girder
vale pine
#

it was a bit better than 639 at 639, now it gets even more item level ^^

#

so yes, it will be good

fringe palm
#

fun .0x patch item and its barely 2% dead

hearty girder
# vale pine

This is so good for alts, immediately have a 638 ring

short radish
#

fun?????

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

imagine having alts

hearty girder
vale pine
#

yes

hearty girder
#

Yeah that’s insane

fringe palm
#

is max still 6 weeks?

hearty girder
#

Looks like it

vale pine
#

There is a item which gives you additional upgrades

pliant topaz
#

whens patch over? 8 weeks?

vale pine
#

but it seems like a catchup one

vale pine
#

but the patch will last at least 6 weeks dracthyr_kek

fringe palm
#

rumored date is 05.03 raid

lilac stag
#

The gems are 3x / week

pliant topaz
#

well it was roughly 1 month from .5 to .7

lilac stag
#

So can’t just grab bis

pliant topaz
#

doubt ts more than 2 months from .7 to next patch

fringe palm
#

2 months + holiday break

pliant topaz
#

yeah makes sense

#

plunderstorms out on 17th im assuming for like a month

#

till next patch

lilac stag
#

Time to gear the warrior

vale pine
#

a month sounds short, ngl

lilac stag
#

6 weeks first time. 4 weeks this time.

molten citrus
#

it's pretty pointless to buy the auction house gear

vale pine
molten citrus
#

Delve gear doesn’t scale up in pvp

#

Only PvP gear does

#

I just go straight into regular BGs as soon as I hit 80 and get honor gear

#

And farm bloody token gear

vale pine
#

makes sense, thanks

#

i guess the ring will be good in pvp too ^^

molten citrus
#

@meager kelp good is only used for enchants, crafted gear and embellishments. You won’t need any of that until you start earning Conquest for 639 ilvl gear

molten citrus
#

The ring won’t be used im 99.99% sure

#

It has no stats and every effect is nerfed by 75% in pvp

vale pine
#

ah pvp modifiers

meager kelp
#

Thanks guys, appreciate the help

vale pine
#

didn't look at them, well makes sense. PvP is its own mode typically ^^

vale pine
molten citrus
#

I was about to say^ :p

edgy zenith
#

how do the gems work, can you get all 3 first week or nah?

#

if not, what order we choosing

molten citrus
#

Feel free to ask any questions in the pvp channel if you need help later

# edgy zenith how do the gems work, can you get all 3 first week or nah?

Wowhead has the info. If you prefer visual guide: https://youtu.be/Xs4rqC0oXVo?si=nOowcuML3AtatWJN

Patch 11.0.7 is finally here, and with it comes the powerful new Cyrce’s Circlet ring. This ring was just MASSIVELY buffed so everyone will want to get their hands on, upgrade it to item level 658, and collect every possible gem to give you maximum flexibility. Let’s go over how you can get your ring and upgrade it to that crazy 658 item level.

#

I think the gem acquisition system isn’t on the PTR yet or something (the vendor iirc)

#

But the ilvls are weekly time gated

lilac stag
#

The ilvls and gems are weekly gated

vale pine
#

it is worth it the first week

#

so not too bad

molten citrus
#

Oh is it

lilac stag
#

it looks like 3 gems per week

molten citrus
#

Whispyr was saying week 2 for assa ig

lilac stag
#

well assa has the queen ring

molten citrus

But idk pve ain’t my thing these days kekdog

The become warbound purchasable after you acquire

random hare
#

Cant u just stack upgrades from alts

molten citrus
#

Gotcha

random hare
#

To main?

#

Or?

#

Did nobody try

lilac stag
#

Huh?

random hare
#

Can u upgrade gems on alts and send them to ur main

#

New ring thing

lilac stag
#

It’s a quest reward to upgrade ring

random hare
vale pine
#

you can probably send the upgrade item to your alts so you don't need to do the quest again

lilac stag
#

Don’t worry. NA will start beta testing it in 16 hours

vale pine
#

true

haughty mural
#

thx testerman

vale pine
#

^ the sims for the ring

vale pine
#

@tribal blade > Simulation <
The ring base item level with the best combination

#

Legendary rly brings it up from 0.3% before that

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

If you’re on prog still it’ll be worth

#

but yeah day 1 w/e

tribal blade
#

we're on queen but we might be doing a reclear to get the skip

lilac stag
#

Watch a proc be busted

tribal blade
#

it would just feel bad to get like a 94% on a boss and then be like "damn, that would be an orange parse if i had the ring"

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

It shouldn’t take long to get it

tribal blade
#

sounds like the ring itself won't

#

but the gems i couldn't figure out

lilac stag
#

They’re quests

tribal blade
#

ah ok, is it targetable?

lilac stag
#

Just 3 the first week

#

They still have time for last minute blizzard changes during patch. kekdog

vale pine
#

I think the ring is fine as is, not rly much to change outside of bugfixes

#

there might be problems like one effect breaking stealth or pulling mobs

#

or maybe they do a 11.0.5 again and forget to merge hotfixes/etc.

hearty girder
keen dome
#

Hell yeah ring buffs.

raven rover
#

hey all, came back to wow after a long time, ehm i can see there has been some changes

#

but also

#

is it bugged or is it normal that we can use shadowstrike now out of stealth?

lilac stag
#

You’re taking damage or hitting it/stab before getting into stealth

raven rover
#

well what i am trying to ask it

#

i can use ss out of stealth

#

like i am out of combat not in stealth and i can use it

#

used to always be in stealth or dance only ?

sacred yarrow
#

could you provide a quick video grab

lilac stag
#

Backstab is out of stealth

raven rover
#

trust me

#

i can use SS out of dance or stealth xD

lilac stag
#

so short of actually seeing whatever you’re doing via video and logs gg to you

#

for all I know you have a show tooltip macro going and you think you’re hitting ss.

sacred yarrow
#

could you provide a quick screenshot of My Actions Log of it being cast outside combat if video is not possible

raven rover
#

sure give me a moment!

#

in a key :D

#

and laying on the floor on a boss haha

#

okay i guess it was bugged

#

after i died its back to normal

sacred yarrow
lilac stag
#

welcome back

native zodiac
#

@vale pine does the new ring have a big variance from pull to pull in terms of dps?

vale pine
tribal blade
#

if i'm not mistaken this ring is gonna have a lot of variance because of the legendary proc

#

if i understand that proc correctly

alpine wraith
#

both legendary and also the storm one

#

CASINO TIME

#

also might want to put what legendary etc does

#

also time to craft engi things people welcome to mastery town

#

it is a bit funny how flag is going to make our ring procs better while it lasts

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

yea and for more hilarious things resonating crystal too

#

if it procs mastery

#

so even more rng

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

wait so would this work- you build up 30 stacks of flag before zoning into a dungeon to do a key

#

and it snap shots your mastery with flag into that instance?

#

i assume it would get reset down after the key starts

hazy breach
#

Its only stats

tribal blade
#

gotcha

leaden prairie
#

Can equip mastery gear tho

#

Pop master flaks

#

Also you can still swap gear in the bubble

hazy breach
#

Yes, hopefully they fix that

leaden prairie
#

So even if it resetin the loading screen

#

You just swap gear while in bubble or some shit

tribal blade
#

oh my god i'm dumb, i was reading the wrong gem

#

mb

#

if they don't fix that there's going to be incredibly annoying prepull shit going on

#

just for this ring

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

proc the heals a bunch of times and then sit there crying

alpine wraith
#

dont worry as more people play legendary

#

this can proc

#

making theirs proc yours

lilac stag
#

Our warrior brining more raid dps with their deaths

alpine wraith
#

think legendary can only proc the first effect

tribal blade
vale pine
#

The ring is overall fairly boring, but well its not too bad

alpine wraith
#

it will be a funny rng festa

#

they like those

vale pine
#

the snapshotting is a bit stupid

#

dracthyr_shrug i think its a in between patch, so most just like to get stronger for free

tribal blade
#

hopefully more fine tuning happens

#

probably inevitably it happens

lethal gale
#

Is the patch for ring today for NA?

alpine wraith
#

yes

gritty knot
#

The least thing they couldve done is to bring back a ring similar to the legendary ring from WoD HFC content, make it completely op so that we can have some fun in this boring phase, killing bosses on mythic in 15 seconds after everybodys ring explodes.

vale pine
gritty knot
lilac stag
#

@tepid trellis & his lost ark campaign. Did you win yet?

real panther
#

is it me or this combination will be our best?

molten citrus
hazy breach
#

So Cheesin

real panther
#

but do we know yet if it's based on what is equiped or is it ANY effect?

alpine wraith
#

legendary procs any ring effect that can proc

real panther
#

so if its even from a citrine that is not equiped, why not use the other 2 slot for stats?

alpine wraith
#

we just use what does more dmg overall

#

dont care about 1 effect or the other

#

so legendary/x/fathom

strange chasm
#

Does the ring mean sub will be back in keys

alpine wraith
#

ring does not change much

#

we just like mastery more maybe

#

but we already did so

strange chasm
#

Pray for sin nerfs I guess

lilac stag
#

Why? Just play sub.

strange chasm
#

Push keys :/

lilac stag
#

if assa is keeping you from playing sub, as soon as it’s nerfed the next highest dps taking its place (which I doubt is sub)

strange chasm
#

Ass is just currently much better.

alpine wraith
#

isnt enha better than assa

#

or did it get nerfed

lilac stag
#

Then they replace it with ret or enhance or ele when it’s nerfed

#

so careful what you wish for

alpine wraith
#

i think sub is quite fine tbh most of the problem will come from other people's thoughs

strange chasm
#

Oh that's fine. Just means with my group I can play sub and not be troll

alpine wraith
#

more than performance

#

sadly they culled flag working with fathom and other quirky things but still

hazy breach
#

You can def play sub without it being troll

alpine wraith
#

idk how it will pan out

lilac stag
#

you’re a troll for not playing a meta class then if that’s the take

alpine wraith
#

well m+ pushing is like that a zero sum people always try to use the best comp

#

even if other things are available

#

like take warr tank or druid tank they are kinda good and give more dmg but pala just

#

does everything

#

big dmg gives more surv utility etc

lilac stag
#

mmhm

strange chasm
lilac stag
#

and your tank probably has 3 tanks ready

hazy breach
#

Its like the best break the meta spec (besides ele)

alpine wraith
#

surv gets my vote

#

it sneaks quite well

#

sad what happened to feral tho

hazy breach
#

Think sub does about the same as surv except its also immortal

lilac stag
#

Surv > Ele > Sub for off meta

alpine wraith
#

yea sub is so tank

hazy breach
#

Whereas surv isnt kek

alpine wraith
#

hunters idk they use to be quite durable

lilac stag
#

Surv has lust

alpine wraith
#

then suddenly

lilac stag
#

and has defensives

#

it’s not squish like it used to be

vale pine
#

sub is bis, most fun spec in game atm

alpine wraith
#

it will be even funnier tomorrow for EU today for NA

swift tinsel
#

trickster sub*

alpine wraith
#

we can proc like 6k mastery

#

randomly

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Based and actually

alpine wraith
#

imagine they fixed some DS bugs

#

but we didnt notice in PTR

#

because who played it

hollow spear
#

I'd also like to get some of that copium @alpine wraith

#

Not sure if this belongs in tc-research, but I've noticed that the apl seems to send random "dry" sectechs:

does any1 know how to stop transmitter tts to go to discord?

#

Hey guys, outlaw player here! I keep pressing SoD, but it only gives me the damage amp from Grand Melee, and none of the other buffs? Is this a bug? Thx!

#

Hmm now that I've made my shitpost i kinda wonder how sub would play with rtb..

leaden prairie
#

sub is peaking rn, after stealing half of outlaw cool spells CAUGHT

plush roost
#

Hey you stole shadow dance and step first just saying

#

We just took it back, and then some

strange chasm
#

Outlaw sims the highest tho

#

Technically it's the best spec lol

leaden prairie
#

now

#

SB got transformed into dreadblades and is now a fun cd

plush roost
#

On the contrary

#

You stole my heart

#

UWu

swift tinsel
#

I still have dreadblades on my action bar for nostalgia

plush roost
#

Wait holy shit thats so true haha

leaden prairie
#

and you guys took ace cp refund to create the only fun gaemplay loop of sub with shadowcraft

#

you also stole bf to fix sub aoe

plush roost
#

Cant wait for our tier set to give us a gun next patch

fair stump
#

what is BF

plush roost
#

Bladeflurry

fair stump
swift tinsel
#

as long as next tier set casts Dispatch at 100% effectiveness I'm happy

sullen hare
leaden prairie
#

ye i think it was a azerithe thing in bfa

#

i didnt play back then

sullen hare
#

Tell you what if stealing azerite powers is a thing you can have that stupid ass stacking damage bullshit that was good in uldir

#

For us it was shuriken toss but for you it can be bte

#

It'll never stack all the way up because you're pressing bte all the time kekw

young path
#

Which rogue spec do y’all think will scale the ring best once it’s maxed out?

sullen hare
#

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=272911/sharpened-blades
For any new-ish rogues who didn't play in bfa this was actually the best azerite power you could get at the start

plush roost
#

Ahh that fuckin talent

sullen hare
#

And it was so SO boring

plush roost
#

Why'd you remind me

sullen hare
plush roost
#

Sub is quite different from season 2 DF

#

For example, Gloomblade isn't our number 1 dps button anymore xd

#

Assuming they get rid of the snap shotting I doubt it will be better than myth rings

swift tinsel
#

that's their intended tuning target but we'll see

hazy breach
#

I mean the sims are done without snapshotting

plush roost
#

I mean for next tiers myth rings not current to be clear

hazy breach
#

Oh ic

plush roost
#

I'd hope its better than current haha

sullen hare
#

Same lol

#

but thanks!

I made purple in red group )

#

And I lost 1 use of transmitter on burst. Fuking orb drive me nuts

swift tinsel
#

I will not miss orb

#

hunting that little fucker down during spell effects was my 13th reason this season

#

inb4 the new one makes you /highfive, /hug, or /kiss a goblin for a stat buff

#

yes please

swift tinsel
#

and they all have the same npc ID so you can't use a weakaura

#

gotta zoom in first person pov

#

Don't threaten me with a good time

swift tinsel

I mean if you aren't already raiding/doing m+ in first person are you even gaming

deft solstice
#

hey all im very new here and a new rogue player, sub seems like so much more fun but i got kinda convinced to go assassination, all the guides seem to put assassination higher as well but sub seems higher on the damage profile. Can anyway give me a brief reasoning why assassination is rated so much higher than sub?

hollow spear
#

because you can play assassination on your second monitor kekdog

swift tinsel
deft solstice
#

heroic raiding and nothing above +10s

swift tinsel
#

Sin tends to do higher damage overall in m+; their aoe damage is stellar but their talents give up single target to do it, whereas sub can do very good aoe damage without having to sacrifice single target damage so you kinda pick which is more important to you

#

in general though, sin is tuned better and can take advantage of funnel/prio damage better

#

but that's not to say sub is bad, its actually very good

barren haven
#

Also u have like fixed CD windows at 1 and 2 mins as sin. Sub has to plan a bit more ahead

swift tinsel
#

and for the content you're doing, sub can absolutely perform and even excel

deft solstice
#

thank you i appreciate the input

swift tinsel
#

if you're having more fun with sub, I would definitely say stick with it

#

because it is incredibly fun lol

#

and who knows how long it will stay that way

pliant topaz

a lot of people prefer it this way

swift tinsel

that was feral

#

not ol

twilit phoenix
#

it was already a slow spec, and they slowed it down even more

#

to the point that it feels sluggish

pliant topaz

didnt read the whole convo

holy fuck those are ancient times

swift tinsel
#

still watch Worlds and sometimes MSI

#

lmao right dude

shut ridge
#

another week, another no mythic transmitter dead

#

it does not exist

swift tinsel
#

I just couldn't vibe with it, all my friends quit to play it during Cata and I was bitter

dry peak
#

ty vm, was thinking about switching to mag'har

swift tinsel
#

played a few games as Jarvan and Talon and perma-logged

pliant topaz
#

its really fun

#

but its really tilting

#

like i just got back in after 4 ish years got placed like emerald or soemthing and when people sucked di was like yeah ahha they just dont know better

swift tinsel
#

I left my competitive edge in my 20's lol

pliant topaz
#

its oaky, i have my last final today! and will finally graduate

#

then we shrimply lcimb

swift tinsel
#

hell yeah

#

I'm going back to school next fall and not looking forward to giving up gaming time for it lol

pliant topaz
#

its hard, not a lot of time to plpay :/

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I'll be working full time the whole time too so my schedule is going to be super jam packed

#

thankfully I work at the university I'll be taking classes at so I literally walk across the quad to lecture/lab then walk back to the lab when its over

pliant topaz
#

oh thats nice actually! a lot better setup than mine

#

should be managable then

#

but gonna be hard

#

be ready hehe

swift tinsel
#

Lol right, I've taken the undergrad version of two of the core classes so it'll mostly be review, then the second level of multivariate stats/research methods are going to run train on me

pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

Cool

pliant topaz
#

then the other ones are giga space aids

swift tinsel
#

I think its only like a 30 credit masters program and 19 of them come from stats, research methods, theory, and the actual thesis class and the electives are all super interesting sounding

#

and 90% of the stats courses are plug-and-play in SPSS

pliant topaz
#

nice gl gl. I had to only take 5 courses for mine, the rest was just research and publication

swift tinsel
#

that sounds super fun

pliant topaz
#

so that part was nice ig

swift tinsel
#

I'd much rather just do research lol even though data aggregation can be a fucking slog

pliant topaz
#

I guess depends on the degree, but lot of tmie you have large scale datasets you can use. like in CS research alot of time you just use existing datasets that get published.

#

like some large companies have their own hidden datasets, like I did a partnership with Meta to make them a dataset for human robot interaction but most god datasets are publicly published papers

swift tinsel
#

okay yeah that sounds like an actual blast lol

pliant topaz
#

it sounds mre fun than it is

#

atleast in grad school level

swift tinsel
#

the program I'm getting into is really methods-heavy so they emphasize good data collection and analysis so you're on the hook for all of the experiment design, data collection, analysis and presentation

pliant topaz
#

cuz you kinda have to do the research that your supervisor also wants to do, so its a lot more limited

#

if you had full freedom it would be more fun, but not everythings publishable and the supervisor only cares about publishing so forces you to work on publishable stuff

swift tinsel
#

Ah, I think they'll let you kinda tag along with some of the faculty research but you have to do the heavy lifting and come up with a semi-unique research qeustion

#

Are you at an R1?

pliant topaz
#

what do you mean R1? is that an americn slang? :p

#

oh i googled it, yeha its R1 in CS i guess

#

I think like top 10 world , top 2 canada?

swift tinsel
#

Lol its a university that prioritizes research and publication over teaching

#

as opposed to faculty focusing on teaching and doing research on the side

#

might just be an American term

pliant topaz
#

we have 2 prograams here, one is course based and you pay for that, another one is research based and you get paid for it. its like a mini phd

#

i did the 2nd one

swift tinsel
#

So like the big universities here will have really big names who only have to teach maybe a class a semester, or year so they can focus on publishing more and bringing in more notoriety to the program/university

pliant topaz
#

was fun, i got to work with meta, google, and boston dynamics

#

but also i was miserble 99% of it so Surebud

pliant topaz
#

k

swift tinsel
#

That sounds pretty dope, you can get paid for your phd here but its a pittance and also not guaranteed

#

same with a masters program

#

but yeah its like subhuman wage

pliant topaz
#

yeah its not great .

swift tinsel
#

I think the one I got into in Mississippi paid like...12k a year

#

and the masters was 300k

pliant topaz
#

i got a PHD offer with 50k gauranteed but industry offers a lot more soooo

pliant topaz
#

nah you dont pay here

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it was a crock of shit

pliant topaz
#

its cool though like you can take as many courses as you want without needing to pay

#

and u need to pass 5 of them for graduation

swift tinsel
#

ugh I wish lol

#

I loved being in school

pliant topaz
#

u kinda just take coruses to learn instead of to pass them

swift tinsel
#

That's kind of the idea of a liberal arts education here but its too expensive for that nonsense now lol

#

The place I work now is trying to streamline everything bc enrollment is super low and last year they were $18mil in the hole with depleted reserves

pliant topaz
#

Ive heard its happening everywhere. I went for coffee with an old prof. shes the head of PHD for finance and was saying how enrollment is super down everywhere except CS

#

and now with cutting backs on international students in canada its gonna be even lower everywhere

#

and with CS hype dying CS is gonna die too

#

prbably gonna see some new degrees in streaming/youtubing LMFAO

swift tinsel
#

Dude they're so behind on that, it would have been MASSIVE to go in on

#

add some cert to the RTF degree

pliant topaz
#

it is weird though, like i had to teach a course and TA a couple of other courses

#

and like people are real bad

#

half the stuff i got was just LLM based responses.

#

the other half was just nonsense

#

and its like... were fucked

swift tinsel
#

For sure, the professors I work with share whenever they get student submissions that are just baffling sometimes

#

Idk what happened

#

but it def feels like the collective intelligence has been dropping year after year lol

lilac stag
#

Let the beta testing of 11.0.7 begin.

swift tinsel
#

its a weird distribution. The top end is super high but the low end is bottoming out

#

def right skewed lol

pliant topaz
#

I think it sjust people trying less hard idk

swift tinsel
#

I could see that, there definitely feels like less payoff for it

pliant topaz
#

and schools are more focused on getting money by passing students instead of teaching

#

so its just a downward spiral

swift tinsel
#

For sure

#

they just want people in the door, who cares if they're capable

#

you get their tuition money for a year or two

pliant topaz
#

like the course i taught, i was talked to by the head of faculty.

#

they were like the midterm waas too hard

#

even though it was a copy paste of assignment questions

#

and bro was like, yeah everyone needs to pass

swift tinsel
#

fuck thaaat

#

I'd be tilted

#

af

pliant topaz
#

i mean, the masters is the cashcow program for the school

#

they make so muchh money off of it

#

they need to keep people happy and graduating and placed in jobs

swift tinsel
#

The place I work has really, really good job placement but they never market themselves towards that so their recruitment is in the dumpster

#

the amount of high school students that come here for college courses is the second highest in the state but they aren't able to get any of them to come here for college once they're out of high school

!symbols

wicked joltBOT
#

How to Use Symbols of Death:
Symbols of Death is used with 3 or less seconds of the Symbols of Death buff remaining or if the buff is not up.
Watch your Shadow Dance cooldown before using Symbols of Death. If Shadow Dance is not on cooldown or if the remaining cooldown is lower than 10 seconds it is usually better to delay the Symbols of Death cast till after Shadow Dance.

rapid kite
#

Is there a picture showing the usage of Symbols in ST as trickster ?

#

There used to be a picture showing a timeline with dance and symbols

hazy breach
#

Yes but that was when it was more streamlined

#

Now you can do it pretty much whenever

#

As long as you make sure youll be able to use two of them during Flagellation and ShadowBlades

#

Which is 1 charge and ~40s or so on dance

#

Typically thats 1 inbetween, but on pull you sometimes get 2 inbeetween

I just got Skardyn's in vault. Is it worth now that DB is 90s? Sim says yes, but IDK how ass it will be

rapid kite
#

Damn I'm so confused with the sub changes since launch

honest saddle
#

I really suggest reading every single word in the guide, and then watching a vod of someone very good

rapid kite
#

Isn't there like a baseline to follow for Dance, Symbols, Tech ?

#

I read the guide

#

Watched top ppl's cd usage on lorg

#

The guide is super vague and only shows the opener which actually differs from sims

#

i mean the guide is omega well done but

#

I'm used to coaching level of insights, ofc it can't all be in a wowhead guide

#

i'm feeling a lil lost with prior to change sub brain

#

but I do recall seeing a picture with a timeline for CD usage that went beyond the opener

honest saddle
#

it's pretty simple once you understand it. Flag, into symbols into dance into blades

#

into another dance

rapid kite
#

like for a full rotation from opener cds to 2nd round of cds (1min30/2m)

#

yeah it's really the in-between cd's that got me confused

honest saddle
#

just dance with symbols and once you have ~40 or so seconds until flag is left, you pool your dances and symbol charges for your flag blades window

hazy breach
#

Then once you get more comfortable try to squeeze in an extra dance inbetween whenever its possible

edgy zenith
hazy breach
#

But getting the burst sequence down is the most important

wind canopy
honest saddle
#

which is why even if it sims good in some kill timings, it isnt used on actual top logs

steel zinc
honest saddle
#

because often, it doesnt line up with actual kill timings as well as treacherous

#

but its still pretty good, yeah

hazy breach
#

It doesnt really sim good compared to transmitter

#

But if he doesnt have transmitter is likely looking decent

steel zinc
#

Its better to have it at 639 trinket then to never get it.

#

Most seasons you wont get it except you grind a lot m+ and even then its luck based

warm veldt
#

kinda bummed that seemingly the only blue gem you can get this week is the one that heals

this week we get thunderlord, mariner's, windsinger and roaring war queen

which means you have to put in a healing one, so there's no way for the ring to be good for any dps this week

guess no hurry then

yeah it's unfortunate, but means there's no rush to get the ring

Maybe when WQ's shift?

possibly

#

would be funny if it's a weekly lockout

keen dome
#

It would be a very strange decision since, surely, if you miss this week you'd miss gems?

#

Why not just let us get them all.

tribal blade
#

i assume you'd be able to catch up

lyric thorn
#

so tldr its not worth for me to get it before my raid this eve?

keen dome
#

Stamina is nice but probably not, no

all i know is me and my guildies have spammed that island for a good few hours before raid and everyone got the exact same gems

i appreciate your guilds service

make sure you're doing the purple quest btw, not the campaign quest

Thanks!

ring takes like ~5 mins to get

#

Blessed day: dagger in vault. Crit Mast.

tribal blade

also make sure you keep the ring equipped while on the isle

i got a crazy good vault

I did precisely 1 +10 this week because I have been focusing on INdiana JOnes. My laziness is rewarded

keen dome
tribal blade
#

big for sub 🙂

keen dome
#

Extremely. Hell yeah

I'm only missing two items from vault now (Trinket and Tier gloves). GOnna craft my helm and boots to 639, so hell yeah dagger makes life good.

noice!

lyric thorn
#

wdym craft to 639? can u craft 639 items now?

keen dome
#

Sorry, I meant 636.

lyric thorn
#

ah okay xD got confused for a sec

keen dome
#

Haha, yeah, my bad 😄

#

At least we get the highest secondary stat gem this (week / reset / today)

grave delta
#

Do I have to do the ring weekly or just catchup once it's at a high enough ilvl

torpid silo
#

I've been playing sub for a tiny little while, and so far I feel like I can't use abilities fast enough, the 1s gcd feels super long
has anyone felt the same way or am I just weird ?

bronze turret
#

ur weird

torpid silo
#

huhhh

still quartz
#

👀

torpid silo
#

there's no way

bronze turret
#

rogue is gcd locked

#

to 1 sec

#

cant cahnge it

torpid silo
#

yeah I know

bronze turret
#

so whats the issue

torpid silo
#

but it feels slow
idk xd

#

just sharing thoughts

bronze turret
#

fair, but.. Just so you understand that the entire gameplay is based on the 1 sec, so ur not missing out, trust

torpid silo
#

yeah fair fair

#

I guess I just need to get used to it

#

only played pres evoker so far and it felt different

bronze turret
#

its nice to have 1 sec at the start of expansions

#

when everyone else is hovering around 1.4-1.5

torpid silo
#

yeah for sure, has to be nice

bronze turret
#

outlaw got lower gcd when using their cd

torpid silo
#

I started playing at season 4 dragonflight and (at least with preservation) it felt super fast

leaden prairie
#

rogue (mostly sub out of cd and sin in st) are limited by energy tho

#

so you will get more time between gcds than 1s in some cases

vestal escarp
#

aww yikes

#

matrix is so weak in tww

keen dome
#

sad

vale pine
tribal blade
#

being gcd locked to 1 second is in itself a win/lose situation

#

lose because haste does very little, and whenever there's a big haste buff on encounters (which happens quite a bit) rogues don't get the same benefit as everyone else

#

BUT win because whenever there's haste reduction we don't feel it much

#

and also means we aren't tied to haste effects like lust/PI to do dam

keen dome
tribal blade
#

like in RLP in DF i didn't even realize there were mobs that decreased haste until i played my warr in there

keen dome
#

Wait they decrease haste?!

tribal blade
#

exactly haha

keen dome
#

Damn

#

poor warriors

tribal blade
#

there were mobs in the upper floor right before last boss that decreased haste to people in melee who got hit by their aoe

#

completely unnoticable by rogues because of gcd lock

keen dome
#

Haha, damn

tribal blade
#

it is an issue though when there's a massive haste reduction, then you can feel it because we become energy starved

#

no melee swings = no sht procs

#

we're also playing a fine line with our energy management since we're stuck at 100 energy

keen dome
#

Yeah

fading elk
#

can someone explain why sometimes my combo points fill back up after using a finisher? i cant find out what it is

keen dome
tall gorge
#

gems are week gated? cant seem to get all gems we want this week

keen dome
#

Unsure if it's weekly gated but it might be, yeah. Just four so far, which is annoying.

tribal blade
keen dome
#

All my sims put the current arrays as a big decrease atm, too. Sad.

tribal blade
#

yeah it can't compete at the current ilvl and 1 healing gem

keen dome
#

Versus Queen ring, anyway

#

yeah

#

It is a very strange choice to timegate the gems themselves, imo

#

Maybe it's a daily rotation though.

#

So maybe we get the next four tomorrow.

tribal blade
#

my guildie said something cynical which might honestly be true

#

i think he has a point haha

keen dome
#

Nah, I don't think so because it's such a whatever thing to timegate

#

Most people won't care.

#

I don't think it was done to keep people subbed. There's way better options to do that and they didn't.

tribal blade
#

the isle itself has very little to do relatively, so this is likely their way of stretching the centent out

keen dome
#

I think it's just a weird decision that wasn't adjusted when they buffed the ring.

tribal blade
#

it is a TINY isle

keen dome
#

For all we know it's a daily rotation

#

I also think it's a pretty fine bit of content for catchup / collector

#

I am either expecting them to adjust the gems to all be available, or it to turn outt o be a daily rotation.

tribal blade
#

hopefully we get em quicker

keen dome
#

I'm holding out for daily

lilac stag
#

Unfortunately people would care even less if just the ilvl was gated. Who is going to really care about ~16 ilvl on a ring, sooooo…. We gate the gems.

keen dome
#

My gut feeling is that they adjusted it last minute and didn't think it through

#

Gating the gems is such a nonsense thought for them to have simply because it's going to impact different classes differently haha

lilac stag
#

Nah. Just didn’t think it through is the equivalent of actually saying we didn’t make any substantial content for the players to be interested in so we’ll ration out the 2 days worth over 5 weeks.

#

the legendary effect looks to be the real gate, and by that time we’re all playing plunder storm.

tribal blade
#

i completed most of what the isle had to offer in around 2 hours

keen dome
#

I think people are far too quick to ascribe malicious design to it when I think the likely answer is: rushed content changed at the last minute.

lilac stag
keen dome
#

I don't agree because malicious requires intent.

lilac stag
#

Their intent it to stretch out content.

#

been doing it since weekly story quests

#

or stretch out their own resources

keen dome
#

The latter is more likely.

#

If they didn't timegate them then people would do them all in one day and immediately go "WHERE CONTENT"

#

Impossible to win lol

lilac stag
#

where is the content is still valid

#

The gating doesn’t change that

#

the gating just forces you to log in because there is no content that is sustainable

keen dome
#

Does it force you to login though?

lilac stag
#

if you ultimately are still in prog or want to chase logs yes

#

I have one more thing I have to do now instead of raid logging and crying

keen dome
#

That's fair, yeah. I'd still argue it's not forcing you to do that. You've chosen to do that. But at the same time it's put a new upgrade in and yeah, if you wanna chase logs (or prog, as it'll make it easier)

#

but considering how little time it takes to get it's kinda w/e? But, the gem gating is dumb, I just don't think it's done with malicous content mill design

lilac stag
#

RL says get ring, you get ring.

keen dome
#

If they wanted to do that, why not stick it behind a rep gate?

#

Now you've gotta login and do dailies every day for a month.

lilac stag
#

That’s a more obvious piss people off.

keen dome
#

But it'd keep you subbed and engaged

#

INstead of simply logging in, doing 30 minutes, logging off, and then coming back in a week

lilac stag
#

I wonder if the numbers would support that

keen dome
#

Which if we are talking design intended to increase MAU, isn't very good

lilac stag
#

That would push me closer to unsub

keen dome
#

I think so too but I don't think the design intent is that smart.

#

I hope they immediately fix the gem acquisition and the only thing that's remotely gated is ILevel / legendary effect

#

Because then I'd be right about something on the internet and that's the real victory

lilac stag
#

Sadly the optics blizzard puts out show they either don’t have the time to make quality adjustments to classses (ie bug fixes) or substantial mid tier content patches. They toss out buffs to cover for broken class design, and gate (one way or another) a low volume of content to keep a sub going for maybe 1-2 extra months.

keen dome
#

Ye, I don't disagree with you there at all.

lilac stag
#

Wow sucks as a seasonal game

keen dome
#

I think it's fine if people can go do something else. But I think we've talked about the AP grind stuff before.

lilac stag
#

mmhm

keen dome
#

There's a middleground where it's more engaging without becoming a chore.

lilac stag
#

The island it fine. It’s cute whatever.

keen dome
#

Ye

lilac stag
#

Just let me fuck around with the gem combos

keen dome
#

S a m e

vestal escarp
#

so it's normal that day1 we only have the shitty gems?

#

and the ring is basically useless?

keen dome
#

Seems so

vestal escarp
#

kk ty

lilac stag
#

the heal is kinda like the sporecloak, just not as good.

keen dome
#

Which is very strange and silly and i'm hoping they address / fix it asap. You can get 4 atm (Thunderlord, Mariner, Queen's, and the heal one)

lilac stag
#

The dot was between 6-8% of dmg

vestal escarp
#

cuz i did everything i could on the isle and i was wondering if i need to go mad to find fathomdweller/stormbringer

keen dome
#

Sadly not yet

lilac stag
#

So closer to 5 once you adjust down to losing stats

keen dome
#

Maybe if it's daily and us reset shows something but I dunno.

lilac stag
#

NA reset in 5 ish hours

#

Will check back after haircut.

keen dome
#

Hopefully we'll see 4 more gems up then

lilac stag
#

My guess is midweek reset

keen dome
#

If not then I guess maybe WQ reset at the weekend, and if not then: lol weekly.

lilac stag
#

With them overlapping

#

If they change it

keen dome
#

Yeah, I think that's likely

lilac stag
#

I’m disappointed I cants socked it

#

Need more holes to fill

vestal escarp
#

if we're locked into thunderlord and windsinger im still using the crafted ring

keen dome
#

Ye, if it is weekly then we're basically sitting on a worthless ring for a week which is very very silly

lilac stag
#

one the plus side. Zone wasn’t lagfest. kekw

keen dome
#

It is a very nice and smooth experience

#

I like the stormy variant. It has vibes

#

Trying to farm the rare drop rune for the birb and it's not 100%.

#

But at least I can easily solo him and there's not loot lockout

lilac stag
#

I liked islands 🏝️ so I’m probably in the minority that will find enjoyment in sitting down and not thinking to farm some mogs

keen dome
#

Same, buddy

#

Loved islands.

lilac stag
#

I wish the alt gear was higher ilvl though

keen dome
#

Yeah it should all be champion at this point.

#

It being vet is.. absurd

vestal escarp
#

forbidden reach gear was

#

lfr

#

upgradable to normal

lilac stag
#

I have to run 2-3 keys. Spyglass in vault and I stopped farming crests.

vestal escarp
#

so basically veteran

keen dome
lilac stag
#

pray for me

vestal escarp
#

people belive in spyglass?

#

even for sin uptime is horrendous

lilac stag
#

I want to see it in action

keen dome
#

I'm curous

vestal escarp
#

fair

lilac stag
#

Plus tricky likes crit

keen dome
#

I like the empowering crystal a lot though

#

But I'd take Spyglass if only because it'd be a good way to get a ton of crit for trickster which I'll be dropping soon on my crafted replacements

lilac stag
#

Also the agility from 639 over 626 contract probably worth it

#

I did 1/2 our prog with ring on just to see what it did

hollow patio
#

do you guys know how to obtain legendary and fathom socket?

tribal blade
#

everyone only has access to the same 4 gems for now

#

Oooookey, thank you!

alpine wraith
#

yea right now ring is -70k dps for me

#

idk about you

still have to get it tho because eventually the good gems will arrive i guess

tribal blade

so next week with more gems and more ilvl it'll overtake my current rings

Yeah

the ring is basically working at 2/3rds of it's actual power atm because we have a dead gem in

sorry to be a noob but what does legendary mean with the ring gems

alpine wraith
#

#

i assume proccing the good damage ones at 150% outweighs getting bad procs with the shittier damage/heal ones

so it's a net positive
