it is more than 150 because of fathomdweller

tribal blade
#

oh that's right

#

iirc the conversion for fathomdweller was something like 1% per 1 point of mastery

#

hm those numbers sound crazy, i might have misread it

glossy turtle
#

Something change abt the rings or?

keen dome
#

In the pins. But they buffed it so it goes to higher ilevel. But we don't have the good gems so it's junk right now.

hazy breach

#

I love having 21% versatility and almost 80% mastry in the raid already

#

just so much stats

vestal escarp
#

the mastery snap is gonna be so cancer

vale pine
#

you dont need to snapshot for it to be good

vestal escarp
#

yeah agree but it surely gonna come to 2 lanes of rogs that do it and rogs that dont

hazy breach
#

Idk what youre even gonna try to snapshot

vestal escarp
#

i saw an article on wowhead

#

you can stack consumes and effects and equip the ring

hazy breach
#

We have as close to as much mastery as we can

#

I wasnt asking how

#

I was asking what

vestal escarp
#

13k mast simonshrug

#

all the more happier if it's useless for performance

alpine wraith
#

i have 16k

#

get on with the times

#

engi gear rises

vestal escarp
#

engi head and bracers?

alpine wraith
#

yes

vestal escarp
#

im stuck with raid vers head

#

ara mask doesnt drop from vault

alpine wraith
#

it is what it is shite gems this week

vestal escarp
#

rings are bis what you on about

alpine wraith
#

i mean the ring from this patch

#

we have no dps blue gem so it is useless

vestal escarp
#

oh yes

#

ofc

upbeat sorrel
#

Do I ever use mastery flask in raid

#

Or just vers and chaos

swift tinsel
#

Mastery simmed highest for me for early gearing but chaos has taken over

#

Mythic prog is officially over at 4/8, now consume farming season is upon me

upbeat sorrel
#

Nice

#

I am hoping we can get CE this week and save Christmas

lilac stag

Yeah chaos tends to sim lower if you aren't simming pot with it

torpid silo
#

which stones do we use ?

#

for ring

alpine wraith
#

check pins but the good ones are still not available

#

so right now unless you are undergeared ring is not that good

torpid silo
#

oh x)

#

full 570 alt with 642 ring

chrome palm
#

Is there a big variation in terms of dps for authority of the depths? It did 35k dps for me on kyveza but 70k dps for another rogue

alpine wraith
#

yea proc rate and crits influence it

#

losing a 3 stack will make it go down

chrome palm

twilit phoenix
#

is evisc always our first finisher in dance?

#

for DM stack

lilac stag
#

Sectech if it’s up usually to get it back in CD asap

#

dm stack not a huge prio

twilit phoenix
swift tinsel
#

Evisc can be first if you know you can supercharge sectech as second finisher

#

if sectech isn't up for first finisher

twilit phoenix
#

i just gotta play more sub to get a better feel for it

#

hella fun!

swift tinsel
#

there's a rhythm to it that you get used to the more you play it

#

its mostly just recognizing when you can send sod/dance with sectech to make sure you have 2x sod and 2x dance for each flag/blades window

rocky axle
#

Hey it looks like Sub is very good for Ansurek MM, should I try and learn to play or its not worth it ?

swift tinsel
#

are you switching from a different rogue spec or different class?

rocky axle
#

from sin

vale pine
# torpid silo for ring

pin states the best combo, #tc-research has instructions on how to sim combinations.
I did wait to update !sheet, i will do tomorrow in case blizz bugfixes/hotfixes something today.

vale pine
void hound
#

do i need to get this ring done before the raid in an hour?

swift tinsel
#

not likely

#

unless you're really hard up for rings

edgy zenith
#

Sub is slightly more "helpful" for prog (blasting 3rd root set and 1st platform to carry the 2min specs)

#

but Sin is kinda just better

vale pine
#

ansurek is pmuch preference, you could argue all fights are

#

tho some of the fights benefit sin more like slug boy

strange chasm
#

At this point I have gear sets for both

vale pine
#

nice

hazy breach
#

Maybe not super relevant for ansurek but the tankyness difference between sub and sin is wild

#

Assa: 3% more leech
Sub: 10% damage reduction from more vers, 8% more healing taken and like 10% more damage reduction thats up most of the time

mystic ether
#

!ring

#

Any of the 2 ring combinations worth using right now?

hazy breach
#

No

#

hazy breach
#

Next week when we get more it might be worth

#

Depends on which ones it gets

mystic ether
#

Very disappointing

strange chasm
#

Which rings does the bis profile use the island ring and what other one?

fallow nimbus
#

if the log guy is in the other group at bloodbound does akaaris soul bugs again? lost 39k dps

alpine wraith
#

there are rumours saturday we get a new batch

#

because the one to fill is biweekly

alpine wraith
#

in queen ansurek too

swift tinsel
#

always be loggin

fallow nimbus
swift tinsel
#

I just like having them to reference to see how I'm doing from pull to pull for certain metrics

#

also love seeing how much damage we don't take as sub lol DTPS while active is always super low and I'm vibin

storm vault
#

Gloomblade is best fr? I've been using improved shadow tech to the same gain in ST

swift tinsel
#

If you play DS in pure ST

#

but its not mandatory

storm vault
#

Well for me it sims equal... just i now get exhilarating on top and free aoe from the shuriken storm talent.

#

Also a generally smoother rotation

steel zinc
vale pine
#

we will see once 11.1 hits ptr

lilac stag
#

It’s only in a good spot due to random buffs instead of fixing what’s actually broke. Please fix the damn talents across all three specs

#

warcraftlogs bugged again?

#

i see akaaris soul as a seperate raid member

gusty plume
#

is sub still the best in m+? i havent played since legion

swift tinsel
#

Sin

gusty plume
#

dam

swift tinsel
#

but sub is still very good

#

Sin is also one of the highest overall dps in m+ so its not sub being bad but sin being very good

#

You can realistically play either up to like 15-16's before sin really takes over

gusty plume
#

u mean compared to every class?

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

#

Sin is very strong compared to most dps specs

gusty plume
#

even to enha?

swift tinsel
#

Nothing beats enh lol

gusty plume
#

my friend has been saying its broken

swift tinsel

their damage is comical

are there any rules for deathstalker? except for the mark

Any good povs or YouTube guides to watch sub rogue in keys?

for youtube videos

Ah Ty thought adding rogue/sub rogue after would filter results better but guess not

yea you cant tag the channel

only the videos

I have finally conquered the giant slug (heroic, though)

as we didnt knew that already....I remember that post from Blizz where they stated that they won't repeat the mistakes they did with the onyx ring from DF again. Well they were right. They even fucked up more now 😄

A new mistake. dracthyr_kek

the ring rn is equivalent to a 575 ilv ring haha. U gotta love Blizz.

midnight hemlock
#

Hello guys, i'm new to the spec Do we use Clear The Witness during Shadow Dance ?

swift tinsel
midnight hemlock
#

Nice thx

swift tinsel
#

Shadowstrike hits significantly harder so you'll stick with that

#

there's times where you don't consume CTW before you get a new one, that's fine

#

Exception would be if you're in aoe and using storm to consume the second stack of The Rotten to spread Find Weakness but that's more coincidental

vale pine
#

Shadowstrike is our strongest combo builder

#

i also stay with the opinion that storm needs a energy cost reduction

swift tinsel
#

Was it 30 or 40 before they increased the energy cost?

dry plank
#

guys meanwhile

#

do we get new coup animation and fixed charge bug? no we get new island xD

swift tinsel

to the surprise of no one

dry plank
#

today i accidentely charged into webs twice on queen, so exited about that ability xD

swift tinsel
#

krill issue

#

must be master baiters of the webs

#

you also have 360 degrees around the boss to attack from bc no parry

@wind canopy do I ever hold coup for dance

wind canopy

#

Nice thanks

#

I’ll definitely remember for when I finally get to play again Saturday

keen dome
#

Huh, the ring is only applying the iLevel boost to it when equipped (I.e., 1.8k stat uneqipped, 2.3k stat equipped). Weird.

#

This also means the sim is getting the wrong values. If I sim it in my bag, it's showing up as 211k damage / 1.8k stats. If I have it equipped when I pull the SimC from in-game, it's got 241k damage / 2.2 stats. Or not. It's just got the wrong values.

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

#

blizzard keeps giving us the best player experience^^

keen dome
#

Yeah..

#

It's also scaling the gems in my bag even if I equip the ring without them in lmao

#

But right now, with 642 iLevel the damage proc is 244k per, and 2.2k secondary stat from the other gem. Which is decently higher than the sim has them at.

#

A difference of 33k damage and 400? stat

Hell yeah, congrats!

#

Hello all new to sub rouge what cooldowns should I be paying close attention to in order to be a good sub rouge?

alpine wraith
#

flagellation

#

but a one more often used would be secret tech

wet cave
#

I was thinking shadow dance or symbols of death

alpine wraith
#

those you kinda use at intervals

#

the finesse is from sec tech

#

super resumed thing but you can also have it prettier on the wowhead and other guides

wet cave
#

Are there any weak aura reccomendations for cooldown of secret technique , symbols of death, and shadow dance?

i suggest reading from aobe

My ring is 643

fallow nimbus

Equip it and look at the gem in it

fallow nimbus

I upgraded it with gems placed inside

On my dh it's 2.2 too

Weird

fallow nimbus
#

I check it tomorrow

keen dome
#

Whe the ring is unequipped

fallow nimbus
#

That's probably it then

keen dome
#

They're only scaling when equipped

#

For some very strange reason

violet grail
#

is there a certain vers/mast amount we aim to stop at for dimishing returns on sub or is it just follow the sim

hazy breach
#

Just sim

violet grail
hazy breach
#

Generally we cant really get that high anyway this tier

#

But regardless its always just a sim question, the sim takes it into account way better than you or i would

violet grail

yeah i gotcha

there is nothing worse than pressing shadowstrike a little too far from boss on court and betraying your friends because it TPs you behind boss 😦

wet cave
#

How do I setup weak auras in game?

spark tusk
#

like how do you use the addon?

wet cave
#

You go to menu addons click the checkmark

pastel rampart
#

LOL

wet cave
#

Wow I am dumb

spark tusk
wet cave
#

My weak aura does not show up in addons

spark tusk
#

if you type /wa in the chat

#

does it bring up a window?

wet cave
#

No

#

Using curseforge instead of what I was using currently

spark tusk
#

I use curseforge for addon management

#

I'm sure youtube has some guide videos to walk through the install process to ensure you have everything done correctly and set up

steel sierra
#

Anyone's ring doing less damage compared to yesterday? Over 30 wipes yesterday on M Queen, the ring was 6th highest dmg overall. Tonight it's 14th consistently

#

Nothing else has changed

wet cave
#

all the other addons and the weak aura were out of date which probably explains why they were not working.

(are you telling your non essence carriers to go through the portal first)?

upbeat sorrel

im doing a essence and im supposed to step

but was just wondering if i can cloak it

short radish
#

nah cant cloak

#

but also for those going through the portal

#

non essence carriers should go through first

strange chasm
#

@hazy breach how much of an increase was it degening the first CB to your second Sec instead of first

hazy breach
#

Without using CB anywhere else it was a 0.5% gain over the standard macro

#

But using it inbetween the cds is tight since you need to use it pretty much exactly on cd

strange chasm
#

.5% over the course of the entire 5min patchwork?

Yes

Its not only the first

do you guys go leach or avoidance on your cloak/wrist

cloak+wrist enchants together as avoidance is exactly 3.01%

which is so small

we step the add that does the beam during P2 on queen correct?

short radish

since theres a fake wall

tribal blade

cool cool

i think that you might be able to step to friendlys though

damn thats some crazy speed

short radish
#

ima zooming

tribal blade
short radish
#

yeah

#

its just awkward

tribal blade
#

it's happened to me on heroic

#

since the wrest+beam hit like back to back

short radish
#

gotta manage steps as well

#

feels wack

#

since theres so many pulls

#

what i do is after being knocked over

tribal blade
#

yeah i had to make sure to stop using steps before intermission

short radish
#

sprint -> vanish ss to the guardian

tribal blade
#

ooo good idea

short radish
#

that way you can step for the next two wrests

tribal blade
#

it's awkward at that point because i'm sending transmitter there

short radish
#

yeah

#

thats why i send the sprint there

tribal blade
#

mm gotcha

short radish
#

since we gate the first one

tribal blade
#

i've only gotten to see P2 a few times now

short radish
#

p2 is weirdly hard

#

it feels like silken court prog

tribal blade
#

it does look shitty

#

there's a lot going on

short radish
#

yeah

#

i dont like it

#

its my least favorite part of queen

#

everything else is kinda comfy whatever

tribal blade
#

yeah P1 is pretty chill

tribal blade
#

man watching these top teams swap players around like pokemon cards is interesting

short radish
#

the portals?

tribal blade
short radish
#

hahahah

tribal blade
#

i've been following a few teams and there's been a lot of player swaps happening

short radish
#

i didnt even realise that was a thing

tribal blade
#

oh that's misleading, it's not like they're trading players like football

#

more so players are hopping around teams

short radish
#

oh

tribal blade
#

like casual has cycled through 3-4 teams in the past month or so

short radish
#

yeah at the top end

#

everyone kinda knows everyone

strange chasm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
short radish
#

so its like oh 4 ppl are online and we need a 5th

wind canopy
#

Could also be because teams aren't playing as much?

short radish
#

see whos on

tribal blade
#

nah they are actually dropping people

short radish
#

wait really?

#

okay that is kinda interesting

tribal blade
#

like casual was running with kirapal's team and then either they dropped or he dropped

#

they also dropped ayije

#

maybe this is totally normal, i don't usually follow M+ teams this closely at the top end

#

i was tempted to ping casual and ask him what happened, but i don't want to be that guy

formal flame
#

hello, what main and off hand enchants i shall use? Faqs say different things

tribal blade
#

some people mix and match those 2

#

i just run x2 radiant power everywhere, but if you mostly raid depths would prob be better

keen dome
#

Radiant power for maximum lazy. That's the way

tribal blade
#

i guess maximum lazy would be 1 depths 1 radiant power 😉

keen dome
#

Oooh, true

#

Damn, I'm not maximum lazy. Shameful

tribal blade
#

hm actually seems like depths is just a small dps increase over radiant power in pure ST, 0.1% for me

#

you lose more relatively using depths in M+

keen dome
#

Pure stat go brrr after all.

tribal blade
#

it's rng, but yeah getting main stat in cds beeg

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Consistency versus gamble

vale pine
keen dome
#

I'm currently torn between getting a 636 LW helm or a 636 Eng helm done. Eng helm is better (0.6%) but the difference is very minimal (0.2% between them). But I'm going to be losing a ton of crit sooner than later when I swap to the ring (which I can't properly sim yet). So I'm thinking LW helm in case I need to recraft stats...

#

I'm sad the tinkers are so rubbish this expansion. Not a single fun one 😦

vale pine
#

Crafting in general is meh, and the effects iirc lack item level scaling

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I think the LW is the smarter choice if only because I can swap it to crit/mast if I end up lacking too much Crit or something. Whereas the singular Eng stat is more fiddly.

fallow nimbus
#

Craft both kekw

keen dome
#

A thought I had too, haha

#

Since I have nothing left to craft after it's done and nothing to spend crests on until reset.

fallow nimbus
#

I have no loot left pepelaughemote every week is socket week now

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

fallow nimbus
#

Maybe a normal crafted helmet

#

Got normal and engi bracers + engi helmet

keen dome
#

I just need Myth gloves (to make tier), and a secondary trinket and I'm fully done on gear. I'm never getting a Mythic transmitter, so Heroic is the goal.

vale pine
fallow nimbus
keen dome
#

I wish we could farm the new ring.

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

i haven't had time yesterday to do the questline

keen dome
#

I don't mind them making the ilevel weekly. I think that's fine. But the gems themselves is such a surreal choice.

vale pine
#

how long does it take, an hour or longer?

keen dome
#

30 minutes, tops

#

Less, probably.

vale pine
#

oh thats quick

keen dome
#

And the weekly for the ilevel takes about 10 minutes. It's very good and I think how quick it is to get is worth complimenting.

#

But the problem is the gems are just.. (so far, it seems) weekly locked. So we can't get the fun ones this week.

#

So what's the point. But it also raises a question about what if you miss this week.

#

Do you just not get these 4 gems? Why is it like this.

fallow nimbus
#

What was the weekly? The storm thing?

keen dome
#

Yeah but that didn't give anything worthwhile for the ring.

#
  1. iLevel+ item from a weekly quest to open 3 hidden chests
  2. Gem from Excavation 1
  3. Gem from Excavation 2
  4. Gem from the meta 'WQ' of just killing vrykul on the island
fallow nimbus
#

Annoying was that some quest extra action button blocked another quest button kekw

keen dome
#

And the final gem is from the intro questline for the ring (Thunderlord)

#

I imagine it'll be worth using next week, assuming we can even sim it..

#

Can't get accurate numbers on it right now as the sim has the wrong numbers for what it actually is 😦

#

And I'm too stupid to figure out how to write my own version to test it

plush violet
#

Hi a question regarding queen, would you hold your 3rd set of cds and destroy first platform add ? (also delaying your 2nd set after blades) or don't delay and send 2nd set during web blades and might have it at last pull in on intermission ?

tribal blade
#

a lot of sub rogues end up holding cds for 1st platform add because that tends to be a gap in where most people have damage

upbeat sorrel
#

i just send everything 1st platform, it comes back up for when p3 starts

#

seems to be most optimal timing

#

if you send 2nd platform wont have it up for when p3 starts

#

damage shouldnt be a problem on platforms with everyone alive

plush roost
#

My raid comp has so much damage on platform 1 idk how to parse this fight

#

I've given up and just gone full boss damage

#

Maybe just play sin idk

#

The adds die after my first shadow dance -_-

#

And im a platform 2 portal person, so sending cds there is also pretty cursed

#

One time we killed the expeller so quick I couldn't even shadowstep to it like i normally would on the wrest

#

So i had to panic target an ally lmfao

winter python
tribal blade
#

yeah the "problem" with us scaling with a raid buff

plush roost
#

Yeah i have a mouseover macro

#

Yeah its pretty cursed i legit think I'd have more relevant use playing outlaw or sin

#

Like we're done the tier, but my logs need to look pretty

#

Tbh maybe i just ask to do an earlier portal or no portal and just use cds on platform 2 so i can get full value

#

Fight usually ends before my 6th set of cds anyway

vale pine
plush roost
#

Haha good luck with that one

vale pine

did work 0% of the times i tried it ^^

#

great success rate

keen dome
#

Need to be more aggresive about it.

#

Swapblaster the top DPS off the platform.

They've found a weakness in my habits, a prime swapblaster target

wait

#

i wasnt meant to reply to that

tribal blade
tribal blade
short radish
#

i was meant to reply

use cds 1st platform p2 because no other good point to use. your raid also might need to hold damage a bit on platform 3 for you (and mainly the warriors) so their yours and their cooldowns are up for p3

how are his death clips always this good

For raid its all deathstalker? And for m+ its trickster?

lilac stag
#

DS is ST, maybe Ovi

glossy turtle
#

But ds is used on ulgrax

#

Raided yesterday and was checking wacraft logs to see what ppl built, we only did first 4, but still only saw trickster

vale pine
lilac stag
#
  1. There are very few logs for sub. rng and what mechanics you get will matter.

  2. The choices sim closely

  3. It really doesn’t matter. DS sucks to play. Trickster is better overall for your Menty

glossy turtle
vale pine
#

Deathstalker is technically better on pure single target, so you can absolutely play it

#

but as scath mentioned, it is gameplay wise less engaging and numbers are close enough to ignore the small diffrence

glossy turtle
#

Okay nice, i like trickster more tbh

lilac stag
#

run with it then. Enjoyment matters

haughty mural
#

the guy above me is right Dogue

rocky ocean
#

Trickster does a little of tomfoolery

glossy turtle
#

I do haha, and i have that mindset always. But havent played trickster and it just seemed like it was used by everone

rocky ocean
#

You can cloud smoke a void zone every 1:30 minutes

i think honestly next reclear i'm playing trickster on everything

#

can just use imp sht instead 😉

#

trickster unironically gains a bit of ground on DS with the new ring maybe?

#

because fazed target will be taking 5% more ring damage

keen dome
#

That's a good thought on it, yeah

tribal blade
#

i assume it would work that way

hazy breach
#

It does not

tribal blade
#

damn

hazy breach
#

Fazed only works on rogue stuff (but not on nimble Cheesin)

CAN YOU SEE MY SMILING THROUGH MY TEARS

#

another thought is PE might make a comeback

#

?

alpine wraith
#

yea it will be stronger

#

thx to ring

keen dome
#

Hahaha

tulip gorge
#

what is PE?

keen dome
#

The standard sub experience: Does X work with Y?

#

"no"

tribal blade
#

it's kinda rough picking it up though

keen dome
#

the crit during dance node

#

Sorry, during symbols

tulip gorge
#

that would also mean crit in general gets more value?

keen dome
tribal blade
tulip gorge
#

I still don't get why Symbols giving haste is a talent luldog

tribal blade
#

it's called "warning signs" as a warning to stay away

keen dome
#

They should make haste give movespeed. I will not put any more thought into this idea than that.

tribal blade
#

imagine if haste increased our gcds during dance

keen dome
#

Hahaha

#

Now we're the pirates

tulip gorge
#

I assume haste just gives you more Shadow Techniques procs?

tribal blade
#

only dance so we feel even more starved outside cds

tribal blade
vale pine
tepid trellis
#

more stats is never really bad

tribal blade
tulip gorge
#

ok but isn't haste mostly useless for sub?

#

I have so many priests using PI on me when I play sub dead

keen dome
#

As I understand it, it's pretty whatever but the other stats just give us more useful things?

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

more autos. more energy more cps

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

great idea

keen dome
#

Same

tribal blade
#

we're lucky it's mastery and not haste

#

we got so lucky

haughty mural
#

sure

tribal blade
#

because usually blizz will lean on haste for this kind of stuff

#

historically

haughty mural
#

but atleast from the wording of our mastery you'd not think about that

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

they said they want ring to be replaced vs a mythic one

#

next raid

#

lets see

tribal blade
tulip gorge
#

they'll probably nerf the ring if it's absolute bis for next patch

keen dome
#

I'm fully expecting a repeat of the Annulet where it's really good for very specific classes for longer than they expected and then they need to nerf it.

tribal blade
#

it won't be bis next tier, myth track rings will outscale it for sure

#

that's their plan anyways

keen dome
#

I just wish I could start using it

tulip gorge
#

how many gems are there in total?

keen dome
#

12, I think.

tribal blade
#

only 4 we care about currently

keen dome
#

And we only have 1 of those right now, right

alpine wraith
#

yea

#

the thunder one

keen dome
#

still holding out hope for midweek reset giving us another load.

tulip gorge
#

so assuming they timegate 4 gems per week, we still have to wait 2 weeks at least dead

#

absolute disgusting behaviour

keen dome
#

It's very strange.

#

And also the way the ring behaves with how it scales only when equipped too

tulip gorge
#

they're back to their timegating habits from shadowlands

#

when the game was at its lowest

tribal blade
#

yeah me and a guildie figured that out earlier

#

i got confused with the tooltip of the damage

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's super weird. And makes simming it impossible right now I think?

tribal blade
#

i'm not sure because in the sims it shows the gem in fully upgraded ring as base damage

#

so i have no idea what the sim is doing

keen dome
#

When I looked earlier, it was giving me the values for the base unequipped version (I.e., 1.8k secondary and 411k damage)

#

And not the actual values

tribal blade
#

BUT when i simmed it in a fully upgraded ring it was a dps increase

keen dome
#

Neat

tribal blade
#

and in the current ilvl it's dps downgrade

#

so must be working properly

keen dome
#

Come on midweek reset and four more gems.

tribal blade
#

pray!

keen dome
#

I wish they'd detail how it's meant to work though.

#

Weekly iLevel is fine, it's whatever. But the gems is just frustrating for no reason.

#

And limits the enjoyment of playing around with it.

tribal blade
#

it's also this weird thing where you get punished based on what gems are good for your spec

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

so people who use the gems that are released early get to use it faster

keen dome
#

And, if they are on a rotation. It means you could miss the good ones and have to wait which is.. absurd

tribal blade
#

there might possibly be catch up

#

i would assume so, because it would be insane if there wasn't

keen dome
#

It's possible they simply remain active forever and you can earn them all, yeah.

tribal blade
#

mine did bug out where i wasn't awarded the last gem from the final storm event

tulip gorge
tribal blade
#

but i went to the vendor and was able to purchase it with 50 of the currency

#

(thank god didn't need to talk to blizz)

keen dome
tulip gorge
#

ok but I mean in a bis gear scenario

tribal blade
#

since it's a mix of everything they can use

keen dome
#

Oh in a BiS scenario I bet the answer is a resounding no.

tribal blade
#

well anyone who isn't doing high level content for sure

#

will use it

#

even with a healing gem in it it'll be a big upgrade over a champ/hero track ring

keen dome
#

I've got buddies I occasionally raid with who are still 615ish and it's a pretty good upgrade for them.

tribal blade
#

oh yeah huge

#

i don't think the heal is even bad if you're at low ilvl haha

#

because you're getting railed from not having gear

keen dome
#

The guild I'm in is still chasing AotC and it's going to make that, even as it is right now, massively easier simply because everyone is gonna be doing 242k on a proc a lot during the fight

tribal blade
#

yeah afk damage is really good for

#

uh

#

i hate to say it, less skilled players

keen dome
#

Yeah. Casual or less skilled players or players who get overwhelmed, etc.

#

It's just straight up free dam

tribal blade
#

if you're chasing aotc right now the heal will also unironically be really good

keen dome
#

Absolutely

#

Healing is being carried by one extremely stressed out priest haha

tribal blade
#

i checked how much that heal did while i was running around the isle and it was almost my top healing done

keen dome
#

Huh, not bad

tribal blade
#

yeah your entire raid team gaining a bunch of extra healing (which hits 2 extra people too) will take a big load off healers

keen dome
#

That's real good, yeah

tribal blade
#

look at us coping so well over them not releasing all the gems

keen dome
#

I'm coping by fishing on the isle

#

that's what they've done to me.

tribal blade
#

oh god that's terrible 😦

keen dome
#

Just got the rune, so fishing complete for another expansion

plush roost
#

It heals a lot

#

7 people with the ring in this alt raid

#

Quite a bit more healing from the whole squad

keen dome
#

Damn

plush roost
#

What i really wanna know, is if some 4 dps strats can develop in keys

#

Just like Onyx annulet

tribal blade
worn cape
#

I had a 606 ring and this ring def seems to be better luckily

alpine wraith

#

It's blue quality too so it has an ilevel lmao

vestal escarp
#

I re-did mists and dawn after timing them as sub

#

As sin

#

They kinda felt better

twilit phoenix
#

sub or sin felt better?

vestal escarp
#

Sin, the second time around

twilit phoenix
#

ah, interesting

#

i actually like sub for mists more

vestal escarp
#

Despite DB bosses being atrocious as sin

twilit phoenix
#

especially for first boss

vestal escarp
#

But in the emd

haughty mural
#

DB 2nd boss is crazy good for sin no ?

#

with the adds

vestal escarp
#

The weak boss dmg for sin is not as impactful as the overall you gain

vestal escarp
#

Also if you dont clear the plaza right before wich current routes dont do anymore

#

You can rup only one webbed guy

#

Because the other is too close to a patrol

#

So you have just 2 ruptures up for like only half fight

haughty mural
#

okay, you got a point

vestal escarp
#

Also on rash you cant send DM as sin but you can send flag as sub

haughty mural
#

been a minute since i last played sin there

vestal escarp
#

And in the end it's more padded dmg but still looks good

#

So rn im pondring which spec to send on the 16 for both

haughty mural
#

i am biased

vestal escarp
#

First option for me is sub too,for example in mists im too confident up to mistcaller

#

After that it kinda falls behind

twilit phoenix
vestal escarp
#

No if you play correctly, 6 bombs spawn in about 1 min

#

Not solid on it tho, bacause it also depends on if other guys send shit

#

If you're well fast dm is back too laste into lust when you're down

Yeeee sub friends! One more of us above 3k!!! Timed my 4th 13 yesterday and got 3004.io

#

I'm 1st sub of my server and 3d rogue 🎂😉🎉

keen dome
#

Hell yeah!

remote shuttle
#

Ty bro 😉👌

worn cape
#

Congrats! How was it? Is it very hard for sub to do?

remote shuttle
#

@leaden prairie u removed cp back sound on ur wa? May i ask if reason is it cause a delay on cp refund?

keen dome
#

@alpine wraith it won't let me upgrade the lockbox dracthyr_cry

remote shuttle
#

So had to time my 12s with most people in grp having done max 10s/11s

#

So was a pain... But as soon as i was like 2950 went better... Better ppl and better tanks=better routes (must have for decent sub dps)

remote shuttle
#

So is better now tryin timing 13s than couple weeks ago tryin 12s

strange chasm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
leaden prairie
#

maybe you have that sound channel off

#

its in condition, follow the sounds icons

remote shuttle
#

Naaa channel waa fine, just no sound was selected, but i noticed like cp back is lot smoother w/o sound (may be hw related, idk)

leaden prairie
#

thats cause i use a custom sound sorry

#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
remote shuttle
#

After yesterday wa update

leaden prairie
#

i mean idk why it would change now tho

#

i think i have always used a custom sound in my wa pack

remote shuttle
#

Aaah maybe i fixed sound when installed wa first time (i used bite from wa sounds) and forgot to have changed it...

#

Btw in my pc removing sound on that is a lot better (mean instant cp back wo any 0.0?s delay

leaden prairie
#

the sound shouldnt impact that

#

sub is bugged tho

#

on the refund cp thing

#

it can be delayed a lot

#

when you play the aoe rupture talent

hazy breach
#

Its only been a thing for over a year

alpine wraith
#

wow sound channels can still get overloaded btw

#

it is year 2024

hazy breach
#

Just like the mark bug with deathstalker celebrating 3 months

alpine wraith
#

still no 64 bit+ infra

vale pine
#

21th december

#

1 year bug anniversary in 2 days

leaden prairie
#

With the stealth during subt not allowed for outlaw

#

Both bugs are so disruptive and should have been fixed

#

Day one

#

Unlucky no devs

alpine wraith
#

there are devs but they are whipped and only can work on things in a per priority basis

#

likely rogue bug is prio low

#

in their head

#

meanwhile

#

us every time RS bug happens

hazy breach
#

Theres also the new sht related bug for this season, where it almost always fails to refund cp at the end of your first dance before you symbols again

alpine wraith
#

AAAAAAAaaAAAaAaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaA

vale pine
#

the sht bug seems similar

alpine wraith
#

or just after using Symbols

#

for some reason

vale pine
#

i don't think its low priority, but it is difficult to fix and as such probably shelved.

hazy breach
#

It can if youve just used symbols

#

But not if its at the end of symbols for some reason

#

But its consistent atleast so its not as annoying

#

Still feels odd to eviscerate at 10 sht and not get a refund, then you symbols next gcd and get back to back refunds Classic

alpine wraith
#

yea it is funny getting 2 or 3 craft procs afterwards

#

maybe they did a study and this one makes people subscribe for longer

leaden prairie
#

btw

#

why is it that

#

90% of the times i vanish

#

it just insta break

#

i think its cause i vanish after a finisher or smth idk

hazy breach
leaden prairie
#

its not only me right

hazy breach
#

I wouldnt say it happens that often to me, but its fairly often ye

leaden prairie
#

i know how to not make it happen but

#

like if i just wait for gcd to be ready to vanish strike insrta

#

it always works

#

but idk

#

if i just vanish randomly it always fail gg

#

shit spec no cap

hazy breach
#

not worth fixing awfully feeling bugs because nobody plays the spec
nobody plays the spec because of awfully feeling bugs
Repeat Classic

leaden prairie
#

crazy thing is

#

i think sub is peaking rn

#

trickster

#

better than every iteration ive played since sl at least

#

same as outlaw

#

yet they are the most broken iterations in term of bugs

#

that i have known at least

#

dont start talking to me abotu some random icc rogue tier

lilac stag
#

Just buff BP another 35%. Truely peaking then.

leaden prairie
#

i disagree

#

i like how sub trickster rn does a good bit of dispatches

#

among bps

#

its not just bps

lilac stag
#

It was a joke kekdog

hazy breach
#

So does deathstalker, but it feels way worse Cheesin

lilac stag
#

Too early

leaden prairie
#

ds is trash design anyway

lilac stag
#

My bad

hazy breach
#

Nimble should just work with blades and fazed

leaden prairie
#

i hate ds

#

cal mdown then eleem

lilac stag
#

Rs needs to be fixed or deleted

leaden prairie
#

you know what needs to get deleted

#

that tornado shit talent

lilac stag
#

that needs a redesign

hazy breach
#

I much prefer either always BP or always evis

#

Rather than weaving them inbetween each others

lilac stag
#

Like 1/3 of the tree

leaden prairie
#

Really?

#

I find sub much more interesting now

#

That it was in df

hazy breach
#

Think the cooldown timings of the spec is complex enough

leaden prairie
#

Having to weave a few dispatches

#

And build with SS and SS

#

Is cool

leaden prairie
#

I need micro rotation to also be interesting

#

You can't just have the cd part of the spec

#

Otherwise there isn't enough idk

lilac stag
#

The out of cd part needs nothing to be interesting

hazy breach
#

Idk i dont feel like them changing the BP target count every month leads to satsifying gameplay

lilac stag
#

Just not a 3 sec between ability play

hazy breach
#

I enjoyed sub more in keys before the bp buffs because the rotten storm thing just feels ass

#

Cus it also means you often miss coup in dance because you didnt have enough strikes

lilac stag
#

idk if it would feel better if you could actually storm first

#

But it’s disjointed

#

Just to press more buttons

digital aspen
#

do you press storm as first generator in dance before sectec?

lilac stag
#

No

hazy breach
#

No

digital aspen
#

hmm

lilac stag
#

Second

hazy breach
#

Because storm consumes both rotten charges if you use it first

#

(a bug)

lilac stag
#

It eats both rotten charges

digital aspen
#

oooh right

#

lovely

#

assuming it didnt

#

would we do that

hazy breach
#

Yes

digital aspen
#

to have all targets with FW

hazy breach
#

Or well, it wouldnt matter much which one you did, but always first is easier to remember

digital aspen
#

and nimble flurry hits cant proc FW right?

hazy breach
#

Sectech is mostly shadow damage anyway

digital aspen
#

alright makes sense

#

when s the next key video coming eleem

#

as sub ofc

hazy breach
#

Not sure, had a couple of keys that went like +20s over timer so i felt bad for playing sub

lilac stag
#

That’s the video right there

#

Sub talent tree is a key 20 seconds over

hazy breach
#

So ive been mostly playing assa since its with friends

leaden prairie
#

Coup does that a bit it's nice

#

And with st

#

Also break up the rota a bit

#

I like

#

And I like doing a SS in dance before ssing

hazy breach
#

It doesnt really add much fun but a lot of complexity imo

dry yarrow
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
still trellis
#

so i have this sectec macro and if i press it in the new zone it doesnt cast cold blood (says spell not learned). Is it possible its looking for some bfa cold blood thingy since im technically in a bfa zone?

#

even tried unspeccing cold blood and respeccing into it

spark tusk
#

Entirely possible

still trellis
#

just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue, because this is the macro i used the whole season dracthyr_kek

spark tusk
#

Spell IDs can change with zone, like with shadowlands abilities

#

So it's possible something got borked with the fact that Cold Blood has multiple versions now

#

with fatebound

#

something weird with those getting mixed and not accounted for by the new zone

#

a weird problem to have but I can see it

still trellis
#

sounds logical

still trellis
#

nah

#

why?

lilac stag
#

That bugs out CB for sub

still trellis
#

aight lemme check if i was for some reason specced fate

#

nope specced deathstalker

#

had to relog, now the macro works weird

hazy breach
#

If youve ever specced fatebound assa during your play session you have to relogg for CB macros to work as sub Cheesin

#

Or well, fatebound outlaw probably as well, just the fatebound cb talent screws it

still trellis
#

well i did spec it to save it in case i wanna try it

#

but i didnt even activate anything

hazy breach
#

Well ye

vale pine
#

CB isn't even that good on subtlety

edgy zenith
#

yeah bro just crit

#

little off topic, but are we just macroing orc racial to Flag?

#

or better to send at a different timing?

#

also also, I saw on a log that one of my sectechs last night during ansurek prog got evaded, wtf does that mean? does that mean target died and clones didn't go off on it, or?

twilit phoenix
#

might need to reforge some stats to expertise

#

is there a target count at which it's better to shuriken over backstab?

#

assuming nimble is up

vale pine
digital aspen
#

expertise stayed for too long in this game

lilac stag
#

Then hold till 3m

keen dome
#

The two-set bonuses will be unique per role while the four-set bonuses will cater to a specific specialization, lending themselves a little something special to everyone. Huh, that's interesting.

#

Curious to see why the 2p in the new tier is a generic role one.

#

Oh, they put out a thing showing it. That's cool.

fallow nimbus
keen dome
#

They still seem pretty tailored, though.

#

Like, the tank one is calling a specific Warrior ability, rather than a generic buff.

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah but that's tank and heal

swift tinsel
#

I'm sure it'll be a tank defensive across the board

#

Meta, Ardent Defender/GoaK, etc

keen dome
#

I'm sure, but it's not just a generic buff is what I'm saying. So it's still tailored, which is neat.

fallow nimbus
#

A pure dps class like mage and rogue probably has 1 for all 3

keen dome
#

Maybe, yeah. Be curious to see.

swift tinsel
#

if its role specific I'd imagine its all the same one

keen dome
#

Could be really fun if it's Symbols or something for Sub

fallow nimbus
#

1 dps 2set for all classes is even less work

worn cape
#

Is that what the tank set looks like as well?

keen dome
#

That's the Warrior set

#

I think them taking this approach could be pretty interesting though.

worn cape
#

Oh so we do still get a different look for each class? Still I had hoped for something more goblin-y

keen dome
#

I assume it's going to be a unique visual for each class, yeah.

#

Warrior looks like a battlemech style thing.

swift tinsel
#

someone better get a G.M.O.D. tier set

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

fallow nimbus
keen dome
#

oooh yeah

#

Good catch

#

Rad hat.

fallow nimbus
#

Big fan of the skull mask. Very swashbuckler

Super curious on what colour is from where - red is typically the pvp conq variant.

#

But it's very early so I shall needlessly speculate.

vale pine
#

basically 2p will be about equally good for everyone

glossy turtle
#

how is void elf with the buff they got?

#

for raid content and m+

keen dome
#

Probably Evis/Dispatch/Envenom

vale pine
#

keen dome
#

Haha

past herald
#

Trying out outlaw a bit and just want to check something. I assume it's more important to refresh Blade flurry over spending your CPS to not waste the CPs you get from pressing it? Or should I spend them before I press it even if the buff is not up?

pastel rampart
#

probably ask in outlaw chat

swift tinsel
#

Sectech makes Fazed stack twice

Sorry, was in the wrong chat 🙂

vale pine
#

secret techniques now summons n'zoth who fights alongside you

keen dome
#

Hahaha

#

and casts Twilight Devastation at a random target in the instance

preferring those not already in combat

just full on indiana jones scene it.

"Replicating Shadows now causes your combo points to delay refunding by an additional 1 second"

"A goblin literally comes and steals them off your combo point bar"

huehuehuehue

#

Wouldn't be surprised if the dps role 2pc is just a generic dot that has a ppm proc for the 4pc

pastel rampart
#

casting shadow dance summons 3 goblin shadow dancers who give all tips to you after 10 sec

keen dome
#

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised either. Probably tied to your main 'damage' ability.

Kinda hope its not something like "dot ticks reduce Dance/SoD by x seconds"

#

NOOOOO

keen dome
#

Hahahaa

keen dome
#

A 4p that just makes you go super sayain (but made of shadowy so it's cool) would be funny

wind canopy
#

Having the 2 pc kinda be the same kinda makes it easier balancing wise, yeah? Though, makes it seem a lot less interesting...

keen dome
#

It should be, although I guess it'll depend heavily on what they tie it to per class.

left ledge
#

I wonder if we will get an actually creative tier set

keen dome
#

But I'm hopeful about it. I think it might work better as a design approach, depending on how the 4P interacts with it.

left ledge
#

This should open up creativity more

#

So if we get another bland ass passive 4p like

uneven scarab
left ledge
#

“Symbols of death extends shadow dance by 2 seconds”

#

I don’t care if it allows me to flick my nipple for an extra evis cast

keen dome
#

Yeah. Simple 2P that does something easy to balance for everyone. And then 4P being more interesting in how it interacts with the 2P mechanic, on a spec level.

left ledge
#

That shit is boring

#

I want to summon shadow spectres that zed ult in on that mfer and I want a FAT JUICY EXECUTE

#

Give sectec execute damage

keen dome
#

Maybe the 4P will just be "We gave SecTec the void contract animation: Are you happy now?!"
