still feel like im doing something wrong

tall sonnet
#

stealth class having neon, very bright clothes?

#

makes sense to me

rigid iris
#

I have noticed the similar, and while doing M+s, BP only raises to #2 if big pulls are consistent

tall sonnet
#

is it bp on 5 targets or 4?

vale pine
#

PvP got a better color than pve somehow

#

the pvp ones

tribal blade
vale pine
#

vs. pve

tribal blade
#

the pvp counterpart tends to look better

#

the color scheme is just not good, a lot of clashing colors

rigid iris
#

Dunno, I kind of like best the one on fuu's post, the red one

tribal blade
#

i think they're trying to play on outlaw and pirates and giving us a parrot colorscheme

vale pine
#

Hunter one looks kinda lame

tribal blade
#

so bright, clashing colors

#

did you see the dk set??

#

holy

vale pine
#

Mage one looks like it should be shaman

#

Monk is kinda funny

tribal blade
#

the dk set might be the best set wow has ever made

vale pine
#

Shaman is meh

rigid iris
#

Especially the mythic looks

vale pine
#

dk one has a rly nice color

tribal blade
#

this is absurdly amazing

vale pine
#

Dh one looks like its warden

rigid iris
#

My alt has a job to do :p

vale pine
#

I think the mage ones are rly good ngl

#

but it looks more like a melee set for shaman or so

#

outside of probably the pants

tribal blade
#

it does like shammy like, not mage

rigid iris
#

The helm gives DBZ vibes 😅

tribal blade
rigid iris
#

Oh maaan 🙂

vale pine
tribal blade
#

it looks like the same person who did the dk tier did the pally tier too

vale pine
#

monkey king

tribal blade
#

haha! yeah it does

#

interesting you know that, the monkey king is such a chinese thing

#

i grew up watching it as a kid

vale pine
#

Dragonball is based on it

tribal blade
#

ahh i didn't know that

vale pine
#

and there was black myth wukong this year

#

the reference is now a lot more common/known

tribal blade
#

i don't watch any anime so i'm completely oblivious haha

vale pine
#

fair, dragonball is something peple know tho

tribal blade
#

yeah even i know that

vale pine
#

dragonball, pokemon and probably silor moon

tribal blade
#

yes i knew about sailor moon a LONG time ago

#

because it started out as more of a kids show

#

very popular over here

vale pine
#

i haven't watched it, the magical girl genre isn't exactly interesting to me

tribal blade
#

me neither!

vale pine
#

but i watched a bit of pokemon and dragonball

tribal blade
#

the only anime i ever really watched was the original ghost in the shell because a friend of mine forced me to against my will 😦

wind canopy
#

“Forced me to against my will”

#

Were they trying to end the friendship or something if you didn’t? sus

keen dome
#

Sun Wukong monk set is cool

#

but Venetian highwayman rogue owns

vale pine
#

sadly need to pvp for the best colors

keen dome
#

Yeah..

#

Set bonus seems.. interesting?

#

By interesting i mean not.

vale pine
#

I think the entire concept of "per role" design limits what you can do with the set bonus

keen dome
#

Hopefully the tradeoff is it's more balanced and worthwhile for everyone.

vale pine
#

it is tbh a fairly boring "do more damage", but it works with how the spec is designed

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

It could be worse, and I'll take "works with how the spec is designed"

vale pine
#

so i would say "could be worse"

keen dome
#

high5

vale pine
#

haha ^^

tribal blade
#

so it was more like "we watch this or nothing"

vale pine
#

If you want to watch a good anime, spirited away is probably the best you can watch.

tall sonnet
#

im switching around channels and servers a lot so i dont know if this have been clarified. When the new tier set says there is a chance to remove winning streak, does it mean the entire stack or a single one from the stack?

keen dome
#

Some neat stuff in 11.1. Not sure about the catalyst change (No free tier but you get +1 catalyst charge. I guess in theory that's better). The change to depletes is very interesting.

steel zinc
tall sonnet
vale pine
#

It is hard to say without having the chance to test it

tribal blade
#

if it's just 1 stack then the entire tier set is good

#

if it removes all stacks then it's worrisome

vestal relic
#

does no one care about the stacking buff on every classe making everyone have dogshit perf in raid ?

keen dome
#

Yeah

wind canopy
steel zinc
#

I think the median will be balanced around 50% of uptime and then have high and lows depending on the streak

wind canopy
#

If it’s what it reads, it’s any spells or abilities, so a lot of ways to trigger it

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

It's possible it stacks very fast.

vale pine
#

But it sounds like you get a short buff on a proc, which can stack to 10.
The 4 set sounds like the buff duration is infinite during shadow dance and you gain two stacks instead of one per trigger + you deal shadow damage every time you trigger.

🤣

vale pine
keen dome
#

I'm really interested to see how the no depeletes once you hit 2850 will work for key pushers. It sounds like a really cool way to solve the key pushing stuff.

steel zinc
vale pine
#

I don't know, i think the current set is better

#

but we will see

steel zinc
#

Our current tier set is so forgettable I don't know anymore what it does

steel zinc
vale pine
steel zinc
#

I like sepulcher one

vale pine
#

Symbols/secret technique focused

#

think thats better

steel zinc
vestal relic
vale pine
#

there will be a season 3 set too, hard to say which one is the best

#

but season 1 > season 2 in terms of design

keen dome
#

I'm sad they aren't more gobliny theme'd.

vestal relic
vale pine
#

one thing i am happy about is that we did not see the same approach to seaosn 2 we saw in DF

#

where they try to force people to play the less popular hero talents with tier set bonuses

tall sonnet
steel zinc
vale pine
#

It would be fun if we could steal stuff from raid bosses

keen dome
#

Haha

vale pine
#

but i think would be a bit too strong

keen dome
steel zinc
vale pine
#

image you fight illidan but have 2 rogues which stole his weapons and now its a fist fight

wheat edge
tall sonnet
vale pine
vale pine
keen dome
#

I hope it has more abilities

vale pine
#

a diffrent map and diffrent abilities would be the ideal

keen dome
#

Yeah. If it's 1:1 the same then it's 'solved' so it'll be easy to grind to the end but, ye

#

New abilities or additional plz

wheat edge
#

I wonder if its gonna be pirate theme again? maybe Tanaris or some BFA location would be cool

keen dome
#

It's going to be Arathi again, imo. No chance we get a new map this time.

wheat edge
#

probably always gonna be a classic location to be fair so it attracts players from all versions of the game

hollow spear
#

First dance value with the 4 set will be yuge, no?

candid mural
#

Siren isle would make for a great Plunderstorm location, but it's not gonna happen imo...

keen dome
#

Way too small 😦 but I agree

haughty mural
#

Those sets

#

Are interesting

strange rover
#

tierset looking cracked no? any thoughts

keen dome
#

My thought on it is that I wish it was more gobliny but I think it'll be pretty simple and potent. Nothing amazing, but not bad.

strange rover
#

it adding kinda gamble element to it on your second and all other dances which sounds fun for me idk yet

#

well not second third

keen dome
#

Probably no more gambling or randomness than a typical set. Just the potential for THE BIG HIT

pliant topaz
#

I can def see it impacting the gameplay for sub

#

we can fullly control when we dance/sod with charges on both

#

so we can def try to dance around stacks

#

will know more once its on pbe server

vestal escarp
#

"pbe"

#

Damn leaguebrain

strange rover
pliant topaz

#

No 1:30 trinket looks a little sad, though.

pliant topaz
#

lmfao gg sub then

#

see yall in 11.2

#

maaybe

keen dome
#

Maybe they'll add one.

vestal escarp
#

not even from new dungeon?

strange rover
#

do we even have new raid loottable yet?

keen dome
#

It's been datamined, yeah.

keen dome
#

But it's just datamined stuff so I could've missed it, or it might not be in yet.

#

11.1.5 will be the poison toggle though. Unless they sneak it into 11.1. But I can feel it. 11.1.5.

strange rover
#

can anyone drop link pls ? is it on wowhead?

#

cant find it

autumn flame
#

Both arcane and unholy have 1:30 CDs so seems odd not to do one that's similar too transmitterpeeposhrug

steel zinc
haughty mural
#

im too stupid to find the datamined loot tables

#

but no 1:30 trinket seems rough

vestal escarp
#

i dont get it tho

#

it's a no brainer

#

just turna a strenght one into agi int strenght

vale pine
#

how strong transmitter is will depend on the season 2 loot pool

lilac stag
#

they have no brain. The item design doesn’t really seem to acknowledge any overlap with class design and just tries to make “cool stuff”

#

assuming it’s the same dude that was working on rogue at one point, it’s not surprising

vestal escarp
#

bomb dispenser

lilac stag
#

waits for 90 second Delve trinket

vale pine
#

relax scath, we don't know anything about 11.1

lilac stag
#

we know what’s out there. Zero rogue changes (again)

vale pine
#

the tier effect is not even worded in a way to know how it exactly works

#

there could be class changes later

#

11.1 literally just got introduced

lilac stag
#

Same ole same ole

vale pine
#

I think you set your expectations high for a 20 year old game with very similar development cycles for at least 8-10 years now

sly shore
#

There is some items on wowhead already

lilac stag
#

every thing is perfect. Yay rogue devs!

My expectation it to get looked at. Not fucking ignored every tier.

#

reality. Ignored and thrown together last minute

#

Reality, Hunter another full rework.

vale pine
lilac stag
#

thinking things are fine like this is the actual fantasy world

vale pine
#

the tier set seems fine

#

but also comes down to implementation

sly shore
vale pine
#

so we will see

vestal escarp
#

when the

#

line is hot

vale pine
#

oh you mean the wowhead database

sly shore
#

Yes

vale pine
#

i thought there was a post about it ^^

keen dome
#

that owns

#

"While exploding" is a blessed line

vale pine
keen dome
#

Huh, that's pretty big

#

If that is Agi too I guess we'd use that maybe?

vale pine
#

is strength still ap?

#

but i don't see any super good trinket outside of this

lilac stag
#

arms & unholy trinket. kekdog

keen dome
#

I wonder if it's 100% of the previous blast or 100% of the first? Will it go 500k -> 1m -> 2m or 500k -> 1m -> 1m

#

I like the trinket themeing at least. They're all very silly and gobliny

lilac stag
keen dome
lilac stag
#

Looks like just STR

keen dome
#

Depressing.

sly shore
#

The names of goblin stuff always gonna be goated

keen dome
#

Have you seen the raid boss names?

#

There's some 10/10 goblin names

lilac stag
#

what’s the sim dif of lfr transmitter and 639 skardyn? OMEGAKEKW

#

watch mythic transmitter be bis all s2

#

Until they nerf it

sly shore
#

💀

keen dome
#

haha

lilac stag
#

Because reasons

keen dome
#

Cursed timeline

sly shore
#

No 1.5m on use for agi would be fucked

lilac stag
#

no one else uses 1.5 agility

keen dome
# lilac stag Because reasons

"Our intention was for this trinket to be replaced in 11.1 by a new raid trinket. As such we are nerfing it by 100%"

vale pine
keen dome
#

Unless... Sub strength angle

#

We become the warriros

vestal escarp
#

Face it

#

Radio giving all stats and being on a 90s clock was a fluke

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

i'm less worried about the trinket and more so about 3 lines of rogues changes

keen dome
#

It's because they're all bugfixes and aren't included.

#

right??

tribal blade
#

the cope is they haven't gotten round to doing rogue yet and had to ship the notes on a deadline

#

but i dunno

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Pretty weird change imo. Duel owns

tribal blade
vestal escarp
#

Pvp spec

tribal blade
#

i don't pvp anymore, but i know it's big

vestal escarp
#

Oh wait

keen dome
#

It's just weird because it's such a thematic, fun ability.

lilac stag
#

legit time to get warrior ready

tribal blade
#

people cry a LOT about sub rogue in pvp

vestal escarp
#

Dh looking snacky

tribal blade
#

warranted though, because sub is a monster spec in pvp

vestal escarp
#

For keys

#

20s eyebeam

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

sub also has the issue of being the top cc bot in the game in pvp

keen dome
#

Sub is also pretty hard to play in PvP imho (i'm bad)

tribal blade
#

oh it's by far the hardest spec

#

dps spec

vestal escarp
#

Oh heah

tribal blade
#

it's very hard

vestal escarp
#

You cant just flag dance sod one guy and pop

keen dome
#

Losing duel just seems super weird and frustrating because it's such a potent tool in their kit

tribal blade
#

you have to track a LOT of stuff

keen dome
#

Yep

tribal blade
#

if you mess up your cc chain

#

you're boned

keen dome
#

CC chain, knowing every enemy ability and when to kill. How to engage / disengage

#

Absolute kings of RBG though, it's wild what you can do

tribal blade
#

you also have to work your cc chain with your team

#

it's a lot of coordination

lilac stag
#

The knowing every enemy thing is what kills me the most for wanting to play more PvP.

tribal blade
#

1 mistake and it's all for naught

keen dome
#

I need to finish getting to 1.8k before the season ends for the transmog, but I had a lot of fun turning bg shuffles around by myself.

lilac stag
#

My brain doesn’t have that much room left for WoW

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's just too demanding.

#

Esp in arena where you have to not only know what they can do, but what they might do, it's wild

lilac stag
#

Plunder was so much fun because of that

tribal blade
#

i started getting way too mad in pvp so i quit haha

#

it just wasn't worth the hair loss

keen dome
#

Yeah..

#

I had a chain of shuffle BG's where I would win and still lose rating

vestal escarp
#

Wow pvp is very foul for entertainment/fun

keen dome
#

So I just went "you know what" and stopped bothering for a bit

tribal blade
#

pikaboo going off on sub rotation

keen dome
tribal blade
#

the amount of planning you need to have to play sub in pvp is unreal

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I hate that pvp elite sets are still FOMO

lilac stag
#

Wow PvP has the same issue as m+. The amount of knowledge you need for mid/high end is staggering compared to being sure to just sit down and blast for fun.

keen dome
#

Just going away forever after the season ends, and getting 1.8k is a mixture of luck and skill

keen dome
tribal blade
#

it is a lot for sure if you're pushing title range keys

#

but it's a bit more scripted

wheat edge
#

you are fighting NPCs that are designed to lose in M+

lilac stag
wheat edge
#

you are fighting humans that want to win in pvp

keen dome
#

Yeah

lilac stag
#

Take away all your nameplates for what mobs do

#

How hard is learning m+ now?

keen dome
#

That'd be a really interesting experiment.

tribal blade
#

i think honestly one of the hardest parts of pushing M+ is the relationship aspect

lilac stag
#

Instead it’s pink is a frontal. Purple is a caster…

keen dome
#

Two teams. Equal 'skill' (however you decide that). One team has full addon usage. The other must never use addons.

tribal blade
#

maintaining good relationships is literally the difference between someone 100 points below title and someone 100 points over

keen dome
#

As with everything in life

#

It's not what you know, but who you know.

lilac stag
#

Not having a menty b is the other 1000 points

tribal blade
#

haha

#

yeah the ability to keep going is actual mental illness

#

the sane thing to do is to quit pushing

lilac stag
#

My mental was at a boiling over point last night

tribal blade
#

every time i've gotten title it's just been pure stubborn bashing my head against the wall over and over and over and never giving in

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Sitting in Dornogal for 45 minutes applying to 10's to try and do weeklies. I can only imagine how much worse this is when it's to get into 15, 16, etc keys where you get one shot

lilac stag
#

ADADADADA intermission

tribal blade
#

lol

tribal blade
#

intermission is actually kinda chill once you're used to it, you just strafe left and right

#

only adjust to other lines

lilac stag
#

I have a naughty list of those that can’t do that

#

lol

tribal blade
#

the one big thing i learnt on how to do princess properly is to not move without intent

#

every movement on princess i do now is with 100% intent on where i'm going

#

same thing with court

lilac stag
#

and we’re bare minimum melee

tribal blade
#

should have no issue with intermission with no melee

#

all that free real estate

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Posion toggle?

lilac stag
#

Reality says otherwise. OMEGAKEKW

tribal blade
#

this was our prog kill positioning for intermission

lilac stag
#

now two weeks of who knows if we’re raiding

tribal blade
#

i was literally sandwiched by one of our warrs

#

it was terrifying

#

i just played at max melee range and he played as close as possible

tepid trellis
#

rogue is also a lucky mfer

#

you can take 3 lines with feint up and still live it

tribal blade
#

yeah rogue SUPER chill on princess

#

not deal with queensbane dot ever either

#

i got the dot 1 time over the entire prog

dry plank
#

huge buffs upcoming, we are probably get the most attention in new patch, sure, and thanks for all bug fixes, great job blizzard, cant wait for new 11.1 patch

tribal blade
#

before getting round to doing rogue

#

so they just shoved in what they had started to do with rogue and then the plan is to put out what they cook later

tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

because if not, that means they once again have 0 plans to do anything with rogue and will do some half baked shit when everyone complains

#

give us 1/4 of what everyone else got and be like "we did it"

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

i am running on some high grade cope right now

#

i hope they prove me wrong

lilac stag
#

Go play league or lost ark

#

Less disappointment.

tribal blade
#

well we'll see what happens in the upcoming weeks

tribal blade
#

but this is the second time during TWW i've gone into the forums to complain

#

it's becoming a trend

lilac stag
#

haha

tribal blade
#

1st time during beta, now before tier 2

lilac stag
#

Did they even remember to put up a feedback post for rogue?

tribal blade
#

i'm not sure if they have a feedback post this time

#

i just posted it in the general rogue forum

lilac stag
#

S2 break the meta. Brewmaster, Sub Rogue + who else gets ignored

#

More than 7 lines of spec changes? No invite

tribal blade
#

man it's just CRAZY looking at how huge the paragraphs are for other classes

#

hopefully ours comes next week or something

#

oh you right, brewmaster got literally nothing lol

#

least popular M+ spec in the game and gets nothing

tribal blade
#

BUT i'll stop complaining now

lilac stag
#

11.3 they will rework ret and sv again. Rogue changes: cloak of shadows

vestal escarp
#

.3??

#

get me out of here

sick jackal
keen dome
#

I'm telling y'all. 11.1.5 will be our patch. Posion toggle. Fix to SecTec animation. All of it.

tribal blade
vestal escarp
#

on farm i just cos phase rush and play feint eva during eclipse

lilac stag
#

Princess teaches you how difficult defensive planning is for people

#

I like it, but fuck it’s triggering at times when some don’t get it

sick jackal
#

and does more pure st

lilac stag
#

and is trash to play

tribal blade
#

ah i just used cloak only on queensbane

#

so i never ever dealt with the dot

lilac stag
#

and doesn’t give raid no parry buff

tribal blade
#

intermission you're chilling with just feint and evasion

sick jackal
tribal blade
#

i'm not saying you're wrong btw, it just feels like cloak is so well spent on not getting the queensbane

#

and then rotating feint, evasion and you also get decent fade to nothing uptime too during int

lilac stag
#

Removing the dot from 1/5 targets helps more than saving it for intermission

#

we’re in 4 heal prog mode as well

#

it also gives your raid less shit to dodge

#

but that’s personal responsibility yadda yadda

vestal escarp
#

really depends on the raid

#

cause in intermissions healers are split

#

and you as a rog can give the guy one player less to heal

tepid trellis
#

if done right you are always in range of 2 healers

lilac stag
#

yep

vestal escarp
#

was never the case for me in prog

#

dunno why

tepid trellis
#

cuz your healers dont have hands?

#

jk

lilac stag
#

Dorf arms?

vestal escarp
lilac stag
#

No Acro?

#

Unplayable

tepid trellis
#

cloaking intermission is def not the play

vestal escarp
#

at this point of the season def not

tepid trellis
#

you are gonna take more dmg from that queenbane dot than you will to lines in intermission

lilac stag
#

I also like just getting right back to the boss

tepid trellis
#

i fat fingered cloak last night

#

so had to go out with the debuff

tribal blade
#

the dot trucks

lilac stag
#

whoops

tepid trellis
#

and my cdr on dance was ruined the rest of the fight

tribal blade
#

yep losing that uptime is horrendous

lilac stag
#

I’m kinda liking how tanky maghar feels

#

could just be in my head

tribal blade
#

big orc shoulders=more tanky

tepid trellis
#

i cloaked to late on queenbane

#

so i dodged 50% of it

#

and it still did that much dmg to me

#

that shit alone is 10+mil dmg

drowsy moon
#

U take 4 lines
If everyone was alive

tribal blade
#

yeah my RL was continually reminding us to immune it if we could

#

because of how much it trucks

drowsy moon
#

Each line is approximately 4-5m damage

#

U should immune orbs

#

Not intermission

#

It's about healing

#

U should use feint actively

#

On intermission potions etc

tribal blade
#

you just feint whenever you get a line

drowsy moon
#

If u don't get healer attention

#

Its hard

tribal blade
#

and then use evasion before the final lines go out

drowsy moon
#

Don't pop it on cd

#

Time it with ur line

#

If u can u can get of 2 line damage with 1 use

#

Almost

#

Its good

lilac stag
#

im gonna go down a rabbit hole later and see what other clssses are doing on it.

drowsy moon
#

Ye u pre cloak it if u can for quens bane

#

I say u should cloak the dash

#

If it makes u dodge the dash damage

#

As well

#

If u get a dash u won't get it again

#

Basically

#

Until the intermission finishes

#

And u go back to p1

hazy breach
#

As expected theres no 90s or 180s agi trinket Classic

keen dome
hazy breach
#

Genuinely we might just play transmitter unless they nerf it

keen dome
#

That's my fear.

hazy breach
#

Or we play the 2 min trinket and roleplay that its a 3 min trinket

#

Like blood fury

keen dome
#

I assume there's also nothing in the dungeon pool we could use?

lilac stag
#

Nope

keen dome
patent crystal
#

is it time for the 2x on use

lilac stag
#

possibility

tribal blade
#

this tier is shaping up to be uh

#

yeah

#

words

#

insert your words of choice

keen dome
#

Much like the goblin weapon designs: It'll hit hard and then explode horrifically.

tribal blade
#

remember when we were all excited to not need to use transmitter next tier

#

i remember

keen dome
#

There's still hope. They could nerf transmitter!

tribal blade
#

hope dwindling

#

on all fronts

#

save us blizz

fallow nimbus
#

Maybe that 3min trinket gets agi added

vale pine
#

they broke out of the ah

fallow nimbus
#

It's a bit wierd that a trinket with a secondary has just 1 stat on use

hazy breach
#

Theres an int 3 min one too

tribal blade
#

time is money friend!

#

well running double scuffed on use we're not strangers to as sub

hazy breach
#

But even if they add agi to the str one it still gives way less stats than transmitter does on a twice as long cd

#

(obviously it does damage too, but still)

hazy breach
#

Ye ik

#

Now the new trinket gives a fair bit more stats than skardyn on average

#

So its probably going to be better at completely maxxed ilvl

#

But feelsoofman

tribal blade
#

i didn't realize being on a 1.5 min cd static would cause this many problems

brittle shard
#

Neither did blizzard

alpine wraith
#

yea it is as always

#

we planned nothing and are surprised

small juniper
#

prob same theme

stray plank
stray plank
#

Unfortunately on use trinket is much more important for sub

tribal blade
#

yeah sub has a lot more damage in cds than warrior

#

that's why a lot of the other 1.5 min specs have sidegrades they can use

#

sub does not

Well historically there hasnt been a 90s agility spec

stray plank
#

I want spymasters for agi

#

That would be sick

swift tinsel
#

Did they forget to tell the itemization team we exist

tribal blade
#

i was thinking that, transmitter is an exception

real panther
tribal blade
#

to the rule

real panther
stray plank
#

Spymasters is for any class on 1.5 tbh

jade urchin
#

i just hope i dont have to jump 3 times for much longer

#

im tired of it

swift tinsel
#

If I have another tier of hunting the orb I’m deleting

jade urchin
#

i prefer orb over jumping at this point

stray plank
#

I actually like that one, I don't like chasing the tiny orb, it floats to bad places sometimes

swift tinsel
#

You just..jump

real panther
#

the standing pod spawns*
Tank goes away*
cry

swift tinsel
#

Time the last one with sectech

jade urchin
#

its not that its hard

#

its just annoying

swift tinsel
#

Whereas orb can float into a big-ass boss hitbox or melee spell effect shitstorm

jade urchin
#

orb always spawns same location tho

#

u can prevent that

swift tinsel
#

But it moves

stray plank
swift tinsel
#

Erratically

real panther
#

the orb is the best of the 3 really.

jade urchin
#

ye but u can just preposition it to a good position and run there immediately

#

works 9/10 times

swift tinsel
#

But you don’t know you’re getting orb

#

Could get platform and need the time to prime

real panther
#

the pod spawn at the same place tho

jade urchin
#

i mean it spawns same location as the platform

swift tinsel
#

Or 3 globals to jump

jade urchin
#

just muscle memory to location always

swift tinsel
#

It’s a time thing not a space thing

#

Location is irrelevant to my point

real panther
#

remember the branches? 😄

stray plank
#

Yeah but you gotta push early to prep for platform or jumps, but orb kinda wants to be pressed late

swift tinsel
#

Because you play around them differently

#

Branch was ez bc they move the same way

stray plank
real panther
#

yes

stray plank
#

I hate catching orb mini game in general

jade urchin
#

transmitter is annoying in general

swift tinsel
#

Idk branch was way easier to me bc it was the same every time

jade urchin
#

i just think orb is the least annoying one

real panther
stray plank
#

I just want a stat stick that I can just macro into potion button or blades or something

#

Give me 1:30 ashes

jade urchin
#

branch as dh was mad annoying

#

cause u had to retreat into the first one and hunt into the second one for optimal opener

#

or 2nd and 3rd i dont remember exactly

thorny rivet
#

I found love with transmitter on queen

vestal escarp
#

if no collect minigame

alpine wraith
#

just give us coral back

#

i promise i wont tell anyone

#

bfa TW

vestal escarp
#

it's gonna give positive main stat in odd seconds and negative mainstat in even seconds

stray plank
#

is there nothing good in next seasons dungeons?

#

we dont know raid or flood gate trinkets though right

keen dome
#

We know raid, I believe.

#

No clue on the dungeon, though.

hazy breach
#

But theyre all goblin themed so hard to know for sure

silent ruin
#

Does coup de Grace correctly do 15 combo point finisher with symbols n forced induction n fazed enemy?

hazy breach
#

yes

alpine wraith
#

this may work kinda

#

you just need afk for some secs after 1 min kekw

#

but still crit is not big

#

likely we run the deck anyway

#

even if it is 2 min or ther eis also hope on this one

#

maybe it is a 1:30 or 3 min

lilac stag
#

doubt

stray plank
#

maybe this will switch to agi for rogues 🙂

alpine wraith
#

nah that would be nice of them

#

that cant happen

stray plank
#

seems like it would be pretty good for sub tbh

alpine wraith
#

it would be decent

keen dome
#

Swap it to agi and slap a 1:30 cooldown on it

shy ermine
#

That’s not a lot of main stat for a 3min trinket

#

Less than transmitter with double the cd

keen dome
#

Yeah, 619 transmitter has 14k Agi veruss than 10k 4 ilevels higher.

stray plank
#

lol this one is funny

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

stray plank
#

goon squad

swift tinsel
#

man dungeon trinkets in general next season are ass

#

both 1.5min agi trinkets are just damage on-use, what a whiff

stray plank
#

ye

#

i feel like they forgot about mages, rogues, and warriors

swift tinsel
#

gonna play Signet like its a 3min

stray plank
#

gross

vestal escarp
#

electric boogaloo

stray plank
#

i wonder if transmitter just stays bis kekw

swift tinsel
#

they're gonna nerf tf out of it

stray plank
#

unlikely though, if it's good still they nerf

swift tinsel
#

John Blizzard does not like last season's toys coming into the next

stray plank
#

maybe they should consider that if an old trinket is still bis that maybe their new selection blows

swift tinsel
#

Lol you'd think so

#

Many patch notes say otherwise

#

is Scarizard still the itemization guy

stray plank
#

its like how they made the new boot enchant same as the old one for speed and instead of fixing it they just made the old one un-useable

lilac stag
stray plank
#

damn

#

doom doom doom doom

lilac stag
#

you can basically open everything up in wowhead and see what the data is setup for

stray plank
#

i think spymasters style trinket design should become more common, it's a fit all cd design

alpine wraith
#

they dont like those

#

after the coral situation

#

same reason they nuke all double on use things

swift tinsel
#

azerokk heart and transmitter angle

alpine wraith
#

the eye of kezan is better than azerokk likely

#

but one is farmable other is not

stray plank
#

or what is they just made a trinket that activated a stat buff on <insert major cd> used

alpine wraith
#

yea warlocks had that

#

had to be nerfed like 4 times

#

meanwhile ours was random ass rng

#

as always

stray plank
#

lol

swift tinsel
#

eye of kezan?

stray plank
#

oh yeah we had that in aberus too with class trinket

alpine wraith
stray plank
#

is that what you were talking about

alpine wraith
#

basically better smolderon trink

vestal escarp
#

call to suffering lmao

alpine wraith
#

call to cuckering

stray plank
#

i kinda like the trinket personally

#

was kinda busted that you could stack it with an on use though

alpine wraith
#

i used it because i like big crits

vestal escarp
#

aberrus had such meme trinkets

#

but this goblin cave is gonna beat em

keen dome
stray plank
#

idc if its meme, just lemme pump my blade windows

#

lemme summon fucking rainbow unicorns on a 90 seconds cd that give me main stat for all i care

keen dome
#

That'd rule though

stray plank
#

honestly BFB but agi would even be good

swift tinsel
#

agi bfb would be amazing

stray plank
#

honestly the worst part about that trinket was how awkward it was to use on casters

swift tinsel
#

even more so if they made flag 20 seconds

#

actually

#

idk if I like the frontloaded main stat

#

make it build instead of decay and its great

stray plank
#

front loaded main stat is a bit weird for us now with stacking finisher damage tbh

swift tinsel
#

stacking finisher damage, stacking flag, flawless form for trickster

stray plank
#

we have the best ramp

#

by that i mean we vommit damage and at the end it does more

swift tinsel
#

can't wait to lose some of that when we invariably have to play DS with 4pc

stray plank
#

in m+

#

?

swift tinsel
#

you get up to 60% shadow damage

#

which DS would love

#

and doesn't help trickster

stray plank
#

i'll probably play other things if it becomes DS in m+, nimble flurry just makes everything feel more smooth

#

i like st DS but i hate the lack of ability to cleave that trickster fixes

#

you get to funnel too which is nice

#

also managing your mark in m+ sounds annoying

swift tinsel
#

its not as bad for sub bc you're dancing often

#

but still less fun than trickster imo

stray plank
#

oh just cuz you can move mark more than sin?

swift tinsel
#

Like we were talking about last night though, it'll be interesting to see how the hero trees shake out with the new tier set bc Trickster gets an extra SoD/Dance over DS, but DS will take better advantage of each window with the shadow dmg amp

#

yeah

stray plank
#

i mean im guessing DS will definitely do more in any pull where trickster starts pusing BP

#

im guessing this tier will reduce the target count for nimble flurry too cuz more shadow damage means bp go brrr

alpine wraith
#

well trickster getting more dances may be impactful

#

but sadly not enough to overtake HUNT THEM DOWN

#

and also mark dmg

#

and singular focus for aoe

swift tinsel
#

Gotta love autoattack giga pump

#

compelling gameplay

alpine wraith
#

i tried to keep the rant short

#

i controlled myself quite a bit

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I'm trying not to doom too much

#

But like

alpine wraith
#

proc rate will be the clincher

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

if it is high enough it will be fine

stray plank
swift tinsel
#

if you can stack it reasonably fast it'll be alright

alpine wraith
#

even if you krangle before dance if you can get like 4-7 stacks inside

swift tinsel
#

but if its slow and are open to bad reset timings

#

I'll be tilted off the planet

alpine wraith
#

one funny thing is misplays will be punished heavily by rng

#

if you byt SOME reason send an evis outside dance in between the 2 dances on cds

#

and lose all stacks

#

GG

swift tinsel
#

Yep

alpine wraith
#

go next

swift tinsel
#

was saying last night you could get a zero stack sectech or 10 which is 0-60% shadow damage

#

on the first

#

obv not for opener

#

but later in fight

stray plank
#

yeah thats a big difference

swift tinsel
#

but if you can rectify that with a 7-10 stack for the 2nd bc it stacks fast

#

lessfeelsbadman

#

just have dance act like Shadowcraft and it grants any missing stacks up to 10

#

tune the 2pc % accordingly so its not insane

swift tinsel
alpine wraith
#

i mean as sub we are lucky we have this AMAZING gameplay

#

where we can build to full and let sht stack

#

then refresh rupture spend some sht to not cap then sit there again

#

that can cover at least 10-15 secs

#

or maybe more

serene notch
#

we are the best class/spec in the game thats why blizz left us alone in upcoming patch kekdog

vale pine
#

thats a wild swing

keen dome
#

Gigantic, haha

serene notch
#

yesh..

swift tinsel
#

I think lightsmith only takes that sometimes

vale pine
#

i actually never thought i see a talent nerfed to like 12% of the original value

swift tinsel
#

Blizz has a vendetta against holy paladin so I'm not surprised

silent ruin
#

as trickster do we press black powder ?

vale pine
#

on 5+ targets

silent ruin
#

even if flawless form is up with good stacks ?

swift tinsel
#

I'm 99% sure some holy paladin kicked the dev's dog or something bc they like to antagonize their community

serene notch
#

i feel like we never got back anything for shadowdust, playing around the CDR made sub so much more interesting.

vale pine
#

i think the current iteration is fun, it is the best case outcome

#

also it feels to me like blizz tries to make patches/development easier by cutting corners where possible lately

serene notch
#

its prob unpopular but i dont like how nimble flurry works, it makes the specs between the rouges feels to same-y for me

swift tinsel
#

It opens up choice to either focus on prio damage or pure aoe which would be nicer if it was more thought out

vale pine
#

they started to make the specs more similar in shadowlands

#

it is a long term effort

#

assassiantion for example is a lot less (classical) assassination and a lot more subtlety now

#

if that makes sense

swift tinsel
#

Which is funny bc they took dance away from them

#

and ended up more subby

serene notch
#

yea, i guess if thats the intent, to homogenize the specs then it is working. I just dont really like it.

swift tinsel
#

You're definitely not alone in that

vale pine
#

it is what i was mentioning, cutting corners

#

you can balance things easier if the diffrences between things are lower

swift tinsel
#

I think a lot of people disliked the aoe cycle of storm -> bp which they kinda got away from but then got right back to with the bp buffs

#

so nimble was a bandaid

#

but agreed, the corners do be gettin cut

#

idk its annoying bc sub's single target damage rotation outside of downtime is really fun and compelling, and the traditional storm bp cycle is the complete opposite

#

and pushing DS with bp/plague damage buffs just seems like trying to make the spec less fun imo

#

esp in aoe

#

Sub's my favorite spec in the game, and trickster made it even more fun but unless they have some good changes stashed for later in ptr, I don't really see myself playing it

#

and that sucks as a player

silent ruin
#

Why can't sub get aoe kidney if assa got iron wire

vale pine
#

because one was assumed op and the other was not

#

opinions matter a lot in development and can lead to decisions you would say are not logical

swift tinsel
#

their move away from aoe stops being more impactful than kicks/silence makes it make more sense

#

"more" being used loosely

#

just wish it didn't feel like blizz was designing a different game than people want to play

#

obv that's a blanket statement

#

but rogue didn't get any of the dev insight in their notes that any of the other classes/specs did

#

some of them even said "we're happy with how X spec is/isn't performing" so they know where the devs stand

#

we're just kinda in a void

keen dome
serene notch
#

well if major overhauls are off the table, I would ask for better ways to apply faze. a 20 sec CD on application seems weird to me. Sin rouge has no issues apply caustic splatter at will, but I will have windows of no AOE with sub.

uneven scarab
#

you should always have aoe when ur using cd’s

#

What do u mean

serene notch
#

do you never find yourself in a window when Sectec is down and you cannot apply faze?

uneven scarab
#

Yeah thats called sub rogue outside of cooldowns

#

where you cant do anything

#

But press rupture

azure mauve
swift tinsel
#

casting backstab at best once and possibly multiple times in aoe is not fun gameplay with updated trickster target counts

#

to try and game flawless

lilac stag
#

very slight tweaks to storm/bp energy costs would make it feel less bad out of CDs without hopefully making it too strong that they want to lower burst dmg in cds

swift tinsel
#

is there a world where they revert the storm energy increase bc I don't really see them doing that

#

unfortunately

lilac stag
#

there's too many moving CDR parts imo that they wont

#

yet assa just drowing in engery kekw

swift tinsel
#

lol sin energy flooded is fine but prot warrior rage flooded requries paragraph of nerfs

silent ruin
#

Relentless strikes at max cp should be a profit not break even

serene notch
#

i guess from my perspective removing a 20 CD on fazed application would allow us to retain the identity that you described above, while also smoothing out game play in terms of how AOE works, that feels really relevant on a 3 pack in between CDs. I wouldnt feel like it would make us busted either.

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

enh might finally be getting reigned in a lil bit with no more tempest cleaving via prim wave

uneven scarab
#

yeah but imagine

#

They reworked ds

#

for us

swift tinsel
#

just let me replace all of my keybdinds with black powder

#

and let hunt them down give combo points

uneven scarab
#

still a better playstyle than current ds

swift tinsel
#

and fatal intent has a baby giggle soundbite when it goes off

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

to go with its baby damage

uneven scarab
#

I forget about that talent

#

for good reasons

lilac stag
# uneven scarab They reworked ds

short of them deleting it and redoing everything. the theme is the theme. the mark, aint moving. it's supposed to be funnel to kill the mark. logically I don't see them doing anything that goes off the theme. two other hunter specs need another rework

swift tinsel
#

like the sun baby from teletubbies

lilac stag
#

theme unfortunately goes against gameplay

swift tinsel
#

theme is cool, implementation is dumpster ass

uneven scarab
#

Unfortunately yeah

lilac stag
#

of what people want for QOL

swift tinsel
#

less rigidity with Darkest Night

#

outside of the obvious bug fix

uneven scarab
#

just coping for any changes bc we are 100% playing that shit with the new tier

swift tinsel
#

fatal intent removed or becomes Edge of Night

uneven scarab
#

God please

swift tinsel
#

hunt them down does something interesting and then does less damage to compensate

lilac stag
uneven scarab
#

i didnt see outlaws

#

lemme look

lilac stag
#

no, the mog

#

duh

#

the actual set

uneven scarab
#

OH yeah the pirate set

#

Im a fan

silent ruin
#

Idk, imma just pop lucky coin with winning streak n call it a day

lilac stag
#

not the nerd numbers. the real endgame transmog

uneven scarab
#

the skull helmet goes hard

#

Big fan of that

lilac stag
#

the shoulders are shit

keen dome
#

Belt is cool, too

uneven scarab
#

I like the cape and the helmet

#

If only we were monks

#

They get to go super saiyan

lilac stag
#

looks like some goodwill bought druid shoulders

uneven scarab
#

The colors tho

#

Idk about

#

Not super great to me

keen dome
#

Yeah, they're a bit mixed.

twilit phoenix
#

how much vers are you guys at?

uneven scarab
#

Last time i checked i had like 23%

#

24% ish

twilit phoenix
#

damn alright

#

that's without vers flask?

keen dome
#

Sitting at around 19% unbuffed / 22% buffed. Running a mastery flask atm, so could be a tiny bit higher.

uneven scarab
#

Might’ve been with it but idk

#

I run chaos flask only

twilit phoenix
#

i've just been playing in my sin gear

#

only at like 12-14% vers

uneven scarab
#

Thats not bad

#

Mastery better for aoe

#

Anyway

twilit phoenix
untold bone
#

is deathstalker better than trickster in m+ now after last patch's buff?

swift tinsel
#

I think eleem said it’s better for 3min + aoe pulls

#

Trickster has better burst

lilac stag
#

Trickster is the play for m+

swift tinsel
#

And everything else

lilac stag
#

Or DS Assa

twilit phoenix
#

trickster lowkey super fun

#

feels way better on sub than outlaw

silent ruin
#

Cause they get invited only to low key I guess

stray plank
#

Doesn't it explode in an AOE?

swift tinsel
#

doesn't what

stray plank
#

Tempest

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it does splash damage but the main hits themselves can cleave via prim wave

#

so it scales

#

like crazy

stray plank
#

Yeah, bursting sores type shit

swift tinsel
#

New way is way less degen/busted

#

Aug changes are fucking wild too

twilit phoenix
#

what could you drop for exhilarating execution?

#

if we're delve-maxxing

#

only thing I can think of is replicating

swift tinsel
#

what build

storm vault
#

I wish blizz could stop treating rogues likes this FeelsWeird

twilit phoenix
#

was thinking of swapping those for delves

swift tinsel
#

replicating probs

twilit phoenix
#

just for some extra survivability

dry plank
#

You are optimists guys. It was obvious from the start of exp that with that lvl of effort putted into class design and new trees we need to wait new add on and miracle

swift tinsel
#

Haven't seen a lot of optimism in here today

#

idk what you mean

dry plank
#

Prophet is still very optimistic

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

you nuke everything fast enough you wouldn't need both healing talents

hazy breach
#

The healing talent doesnt do anything

twilit phoenix
#

ty

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

unless your ilvl is low

#

in delves?

#

dude's making a delve build

hazy breach
#

Or well sure i guess his pots

twilit phoenix
#

636 atm

steel zinc
#

same

twilit phoenix
#

cooking delve builds though

steel zinc
#

absorbs are always better then healing xyz

hazy breach
#

Ofc but the healing number is way higher in raids

#

In keys the shield is really good to avoid oneshots

#

But raid rarely have oneshots like that

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

play airborne + blackjack if you really need a def though ig since tricks is kinda w/e

#

brann likes to rip aggro even when I'm in blades so you don't really need it

glossy turtle
#

Imp shuriken storm is pretty nice to have for m+ right?

hazy breach
#

Yes you should always play it in m+

#

Shadow focus is close to completely worthless

glossy turtle
#

I was playing hella clean with it, thinking I was proccing it every time, but I didnt even have it talented XD

manic island
#

man i like the new tierset but not sure how i feel about being pirate themed for all specs

glossy turtle
#

I was confused abt everything being a winning streak thing

gritty knot
#

they just announced they will do a hotfix today removing the timegating of the citrine gems so u can have all this current week

keen dome
#

Yeah! hell yeah

#

Not active right now, just went and checked.

alpine wraith
#

likely will go up today as NA work hours end

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Extreeeeemely good change.

alpine wraith
#

think it is like midday/afternoon

keen dome
#

Means we'll get to use fun stuff

alpine wraith
#

we can enjoy the feeling of rngfuckery

#

in 4k

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

vale pine
#

Nice, blizz removed the time gating from gems

gritty knot
#

hell yeeee

vale pine
#

now we can finally farm all of them and play the best setup

keen dome
#

They'll just be on a vendor, which is good.

#

Probably 50 iron per, since that's the price of the others

manic island
lilac stag
#

wait for NA hot fix beta test

manic island
#

time gated gems was so dumb

keen dome
#

The post striahgt up says "now" in it so I imagine it's coming sometime soon

#

I'm doing absolutely nothing useful so I'm just glaring at the vendor that'll have them.

lilac stag
#

I wonder if it’ll go with the midweek reset time

manic island
#

atleast blizz listens now, but they still have to make the mistake first

keen dome
#

What's the uh term. Where you make a mistake that didn't need to happen

#

Non-something error?

lilac stag
#

Mistake is the term

vale pine
keen dome
#

Yeah, but isn't there another phrase that is like.. Where you did it.. Hm.

swift tinsel
#

Sounds like it might be today

keen dome
#

I'm hoping so, I'm staring this poor turtle out.

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

today, could mean they started the Dev process

#

Today

keen dome
#

Unforced error! That's the term I'm thinking of

lilac stag
#

Gems sooner than later

#

RS still can fuck off

#

apparently DH discord has a dev active again.

#

we’ve been abandoned

manic island
#

im guessing its pushed on the daily reset then

swift tinsel
#

the post says can get them all in the current week

#

so I would assume before reset

manic island
#

wonder if i should save a bunch of the blue crates you get from the 3 rares and open them when its out

tulip gorge
#

so do you actually have to do the events to get them or can you buy them from the tortollan guy?

swift tinsel
#

depends on which ones you mean

#

friendly faction gems will need to be unlocked, enemy faction gems just say they can be bought

worn cape
#

I'm a noob 🙈 Do embelishments get better at higher tier? Like if I recraft my runed wrists into gilded wrists. And should I upgrade crafted gear first or spend my crests on upgrading things like weapons and trinkets first?

sullen hare
#

embellishments do scale with item level yes. The only exceptions are when it's a nerubian piece that increases the potency of other nerubian pieces

hazy breach
#

And the few that do scale very very poorly

#

Especially compared to dragonflight where it had good scaling

worn cape
#

So probs use my gilded crests on my daggers first

glossy turtle
#

I can play transmitter pretty well now in m+ and my dmg is getting good, and that was without imp shruiken strom XD. But the transmitter mechanic there has this big pad you need to stand on, how does taht work?

#

Cause when I step on it, doesnt give me the buff immediately

dry zodiac
#

You have to stand on it for 2-3 seconds

glossy turtle
#

damn :c

#

I thought I was doing something wrong

dry zodiac
#

Yeah the ball is instant, but sometimes more annoying since it moves. Once you get used to turning your character so it spawns where you want it none of em are that awful

glossy turtle
