do we know anything about the season2 trinket situation yet?
you can check them here
https://www.wowhead.com/ptr-2/items?filter=82;1;110007
Looks like transmitter 
I will be so mad if we have to use transmitter again lmao
transmitter + firelands timewalking 
They’re gonna crater transmitter so we can’t and force us to play one of the 2min on-uses 💪
Or we get a 1.5min goblin IQD in the new dungeon
motherlode trinket isnt awful prob
unless they nerf it
we got this beauty here. I am gonna rock that shit, fk transmitter https://www.wowhead.com/ptr-2/item=230187/lucio-boombox
This epic trinket of item level 623 goes in the "Trinket" slot. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within. Always up to date.
winning streak... why do i feels as if this will be the "everything balance" next season... hear me out
If there is no time allotted for the damage increase and u strictly lose the buff at a 15% chance per "X" ability, whos to say that "15%" loss chance could be quietly adjusted in the background per class/spec
i think i see it... maybe im crazy
Matrix Restabilized
i wouldnt be mad if i got it
looks nice with PI
Any good guides/vids for sub rogue beginners?
how are the gems even going to be farmable?
just running around and doing the events/killing rares?
I think they are adding the new events that drop the other gems today. I saw a blue post that they were working on it
They'll be on a vendor
ah I see
hopefully it's just a vendor, that'd be based ngl
Yeah for real that’d be sick
The post states they'll add all the enemy eventually ones to the tortilan vendor
And we have all the friendly ones
they would be on a vendor once you've gotten the gem once pretty sure
Check the blue post here
So are the 4 we got the alliance ones and there are 4 other horde ones? If you are ally that is
It says that about the friendly ones, not the enemy ones which are in another paragraph below it
"The gems that belong to enemy factions should now be purchasable from Taljori, the Tortollan vendor sitting on the large rock behind Bargus."
ah true
To me this is saying that you'll just be able to buy them
But you might be right and it's just badly worded by blizz
We'll know when it goes live. It could be that you just get them via events, etc and then can buy them. But I read it as them just being on the vendor now
Ye won't matter
Is it live yet?
why every class got like a book changes and rogue only got 3 lines?
rog got 1
Rogue is perfect 
!transmitter
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.

Hey folks, we finally got a ton of wow news coming in right before christmas haha very funny joke blizzard dont let me take a vacation u bastards. ANYWAYS YAY NEWS LOTS OF NEWS, we got a ton of class changes coming in, a new zone, a bunch of tier sets for class...
Give me the sparknotes on what he said please 
basically who cares, oh shit shaman changes hype
lol 
He doesn’t care unless James comes back


Maybe they make goremaws into a actual talent
I am having a cope fever here sorry lads
Goremaws Taint
OH SHIT YOU MEAN GOREAMW DOES 4 FINISHERS INSTEAD OF 3? HOLY SHIT WE'RE SO BACK
I love how goremaws has to fight with shadowcraft in the tree
Shadowcraft is simply better than goremaws at everything
Danse macabre and shadowcraft are 2 cap stones we dont get to choose
goremaw's bite costs 20 energy instead of 25

Its like a illusion of free will
Cd is 20 secs now instead of 45
Okay can you please stop comparing shadowcraft and goremaw? Thats legit rude towards shadowcraft
I just want goremaws to be good
It has a mutilate animation and purple smokes
Its a fun button to press
Yeah I’d rather see lingering and inev and PV get nuked from the orbit so we can have something other than pure aids in there
I just hope they put darkshadow baseline and put shadowcraft there
But we won’t see that. Best case scenario they nerf SF to 2.5% and make goremaw qork on 4 finishers
Cinema
I am just suprised still how darkshadow is a talent
0 synergys just damage
Its just there to consume the 2 combo points
Dark shadow is fine. There are many talents like it in all trees
What isn’t fine is putting some of the worst talents known to mankind in the capstone area to gate already 2 point talents Lmfao
Anyways gg dev team I guess. Back to league for me
oh shi gotta farm mi gems
Is bis circlet gems figured out already or should I just sim since it may be dependant on gear
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nYGWatBcmb9j6Ly4?fight=13&type=damage-done&source=123 wtf is wrong with me I have issues help

just form opening your log, looks like you completly fucked up your last 2 burst windowes. at 3/4:30
i want shadow clones and ninja arts with shadow damage and not a gameplay where i afk and auto attacks and sometimes backstab evis out of burst
you also fucked up some dances, im assumign you got charge.
a few of these fuck ups and yeah your parse is joever

bro rupture pumps
wait so you just kill the same elites over and over and hope they drop the gem
bc the vendors aren't selling shit and the gems don't drop lol
this is so ass lol
i had 0 problems but i heard some people did
just did those same 3 cave rares over and over till i got them all
and then got the last few from the turtle vendor
Yeah I've done each cave rare 4 times now and nothing
and the turtle is selling the same 3
might be a shard thing
because some people in my guild who were grouped together had 0 problems
the rock guy just stays bugged sometimes idk
and some grouped had the same problems
if flawless form is up, up to which target count do we evisc in aoe?
when does bp start outscaling?
bp at 5+
word
with find weakness debuff on them
and shuriken at 3+?
3+ outside of dance, 5+ in dance
just homies kissin homies
I cba with this ring shit I think I'm done until a few weeks befor 11.1
is the fathom gem quest bugged
yes
Hows the ring rn?
hm does anyone have an easy way to check the ring's performance
because the legendary gem makes it difficult
Are the new gems dropping yet?
it is omega rng
Do me know where thunder lords comes from yet?
yeah right now i'm scrolling through damage done and buff uptime from a key i just did
but it's really annoying to check
it also did 15% of my overall healing in this key
I mean fathomdwellers
you just spam the cave rares till you can't get any more gems
and then buy the last few from the turtle npc
Never mind d from the chat it looks like they are but some may be bugged
the rare that gives fathomdwellers can bug out
just spam it till it doesn't
i helped a guildie get it, we did 1 and it bugged, then the next time it didn't and he got it
Which rare is it?
So the one in one of the event caves? Or like a rare around the island?
yeah an event cave
The dragon, the green guy, or the rock guy? Lol
Oh you said rock dude
Thx ignore my last
so, is there an easy way to sim different gems in the new ring?
just ran two separate sims with the different gems in, stormbringer is simming higher than thunderlord, which is weirding me out
you can with top gear, but doesn't seem to be a need
the suggested combo we should be running sims the highest
then I'm taking stats lmao
fuck proc chance stuff
hm bets on someone making a WA that tracks what procs you get from the legendary ring
possbily from our own @spark tusk
fuck no
not right now
is it needed?
like do you make rotational decisions based on it at all?
I can do something if it has implications
sorry I woke up grumpy
haha no worries!
nah not really tbh
the only thing you might possibly do is react to defensive usage if you proc a heal or stam buff
is that meant to say "cat pr"
person
Don’t worry I can’t get fathomdweller or stormbringer because it just bugs

14:11 Summary
another streamer completely skipping over rogue
sad days
does the ring currently sim correctly when using nightly?
or is there something i need to manually edit to make it work
What should they say about rogue man? Oh now blind and gouge so cooool
this is an issue we talk about sometimes in here
where streamers have a lot of bias on what they play/pay attention to
and we know for a fact that blizz will iterate/pay attention to things in the game that streamers are talking about
so when streamers ignore certain classes/specs, it makes the problem worse
I understand that. But what should they say? Rogue is above middle of the pack. They do not play this class so from their point of view it is fine.
Anyone know of how to get Tides of Greed quest for legendary citrine?
or is that still locked weekly
Thunderlord’s sims higher for me, but would it be more reliable to go for stormbringer so you aren’t relying too much on rng?
is there a reason why it says to use shadowblade after first sectec in opener?
tuning has nothing to do with how the class is functioning
if they truly believe rogue is in a perfect spot atm, then i would fully expect to see them fixing all the bugs
instead of doing absolutely nothing
Sectec doesnt' benefit from SB. And you want to use SB towards the end of your flag rather than the beginning
I’m debating race changing from void elf to worgen. I love worgen but gear looks the best on void elves
create alt worgen
Good morning. I assume the gems are active now?
Ah, it is from the events and not the vendor? rip, but cool
good luck on the Shuddering Hollow gems, almost impossible to get because theres always someone making him charge to the entrance
losing faith
why change perfection? 
Just do so much damage you rip aggro and can hold the boss in a corner.
I luckily got through it eventually, but for anyone that has to do them still GL
was nerve wrecking 😄
Yeah it sounds very annoying.
I assume ppl mass report bug and I hope they hotfix it (doubt it tho)
Legendary was just on the vendor for me for some reason
But the WQ for Fathomdweller just won't complete, which is a known bug. rip.
yeah you cant let him charge to the entrance, it makes the WQ disappear
but even with the WQ still up when he charged it didnt drop the gem
so yeah, big fk up on blizz end
Took me about 2 1/2 hours but I ended up getting both
is aoe blind a cone or like a radius, because trying to use it for affix and it fails half the time
so theres something im missing
What does fathomdweller do
gotta straight up start saying prayers that it appears on one of the digs
for some reason some people cannot get it
idk if its a bug or shit rng
i swapped to an alt and it appeared for me so if you're having bad luck try an alt on a diff realm maybe
Pray the people doing it have a braincell and stand in a sensible spot until blizz fix it
Been trying to get it to work for a while, but in typical WoW fashion people aren't able to work together, and people get needlessly aggro for the most benign thing.
Got the 2 gems when i swapped to warmode on, maybe it could work for other ppl?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
event with bis gem not working anymore, said complete always now
I wonder if it's beause less people? Def worth trying
gratz, but why jail? one of the best fights this tier
Is sub still the hardest spec in the game ?
No
Incredible
Learning curve but it's pretty chill once you learn the rules and cooldown management aspect.
Yeah I've always been intimidated by sub when I saw videos on it, like my brain just zoned off
Doing Shuddering Hollow in Warmode worked for me. Got it first try
congrats
thanks
idk why but our raid dps is on another planet now compared to 2 weeks before
all skill
Am I understanding it right that the Legendary one has a chance to cast any of the other gems at 150%?
Yep
Rad, thanks!
Thunderlord doing 4% on dummy without any buffs
GOOD JOB
when you've been on a fight long enough people start optimizing their damage quite a bit
like we prepared for 3-3 charge
but we noticed after third dispel boss is on 5%
so we just went why the fuck are they so low
just ditch gimmicks and do dmg
we've also been gaining a stacking buff in raid
helps a bit
but sounds like you guys had a great pull!
Is the Legendary Skipper's Citrine obtainable yet, or is it hard locked by progression?
It is, it's on the tortollan vendor in the camp
ok i got it thank you so much
Cause technically it's from pirate week on the isle, but they unlocked them all anyways. I'm the one from the turtle wasn't counting for the meta achievement last night so probs still gotta get it from the normal way
Yeah. They're all obtainable now but note that the two BiS ones (Fathom and the other one I forget) which come from the Hollow event are a pain to get. The WQ that awards them is very, very buggy.
Especially with the holidays next week, high chance you could miss the gem you want and have to wait another 3 weeks
One thing i've found to consistently work is doing it in warmode on a quiet shard.
this is one of those rare times everyone else has been losing their minds over buggy content and i just breezed through it all with 0 issues
Hell yeah
who's ready for rng parsing
i can't wait for the cope of "damn i procced so much healing, well at least i helped keep people alive"
why stormbringer uptime so high than others in simc?
something wrong with Legendary?
keep in mind in raid/groups if everyone has legendary
there is a chance they proc yours
how does it work, is it like completely random effect, or is it someone else's
completety random on both ends
anyone can proc war queens
then it procs stormbringer
I understand, I just wonder why stormbringer uptime is so high in simc, its counts are 6 times higher than others
Do you mean, it is already assumed that we will proc war queens because of teammates in simc?
Remember snapshotting shadow rupture in df?
yeah that rng gaming was pretty cringe
Hmm I wish they'd make 4set into 6% finisher damage instead seems like it runs counter to their wanting to make both hero trees viable when it's buffing shadow damage.
yes that's a concern i have
that they're trying to pigeon hole us into DS
but it couldn't be 6% finisher damage stacking 10 times
can you imagine high rolling dance and getting 10 stack with 60% finisher damage SHEEEEESH
it would be insane
Just gotta hope it all lines up with the mega SecTec
i'm mostly hoping they just rework the entire melee side of the tier
because from what i've heard it's unanimous from the melee community that nobody likes it
Yeah, honestly caster side looks nice
When tf will they fix Shuddering Hollow...
Is it not giving gems for you too?
If anybody or their pet is outside the arena
The bonus event will bug out and dissapear

So just keep trying by joining groups and spam to go all the way in before tagging
You can also try warmode 'cos it tends to be lower population, so less chance of it breaking.
the event disapear mid boss
ok
same shit... didnt work
also, do we have to wait next week for the Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine or is it possible to have it now? it says 2nd Hollow to get it
Its possible to have all of them now
You get fathom's from the hollow event. It gives two gems, one after another. So two completions get both.
It's just.. buggy.
lol
first step. kill the dude without the event disapearing x)
I'm on it since noon x)
haha, almost feels like beta testing
think they saw the outrage and tried to do things fast
I've done it twice and gotten every gem now
The only way we made it work was layer hopping to low pop and doing it on warmode
Just zugged it in the doorway
That's been my suggestion as I got it to work consistently 10+ times. but sometimes it just doesn't. Super weird bug
Yeah, I had it despawn the event multiple times, before we even aggro'd anything
At least it's just this one and there are work arounds (of varying success) and not all of them, lmao
If you are geared enough you can zoom in and try to kill it in the opener before everyone else gets in
Scummy, but desperate times
Just more cut corners
or just wait a few days and hope for fixes
The rogue mantra
anyone knows if feint helps with any of the dmg taken during the grip of queen ansurek p1?
other than stacking with other people
It does
!wa
Not much else to press anyways if you’re running from the boss
shuriken toss ofc
are all gems now available then? a bit out of the loop :p
yes
any specific way to get them or just events n such like the previous ones?
Time to grind
And? What's ur opinion and experiences with the gems yet? Sadly I couldnt play yet and test them
Legendary is on the vendor. The rest are via the cave events, yeah.
ty !
Wait rings are out? The new zone as well?
did we have so much crit in DF that RP wasnt "as good" as it is now? + 2 vanishes lets us crackshot when we want rather than on vanish CD helps for sure
shit
yellow name
DUDE
i meant
secret technique
and flagellation
when ur sec tech goes boom right guys?
can you still snapshot the mastery gem?
yes but it is not as impactful as people may think
i don't remember if it resets on death tho
ok
yeah ok, so basicaly just go stormbringer and fuck it
ye
at what ilvl this rring will be interesting? because so far i don't see a noticeable diff
Its better right now
1.8% better whoohoo xD
with all the teasing they made I thought that scrap were about to be a game changer day1, kinda disapointed
Well ye
does anyone know if Legendary Skipper's Citrine is from a quest?
Can buy it from turtle
Not sure if I did that quest on reset but it was available for purchase last night after the hotfix
Are there any good video guides for sub after the removal of shadow dust? Thinking of jumping back in after main swapping
anyone else having issues getting fathomdweller to drop? i've done the event 3 times now
It is very, very buggy.
You can try doing it in warmode, it might work better and while I've had a lot of consistency doing it that way.. Its just rng, so goooood luck.
But the event itself just bugs out a lot and won't give you credit.
gahdamn. aight ill keep trying. thanks
someone just said this in general 🤔
might have something to do with it
Yeah, there's a lot of theories on how to get it to work. Some work more than others. I personally don't think that does anything to help, but it doesn't make it worse.
What worked for me 13 out of 15 attempts (testing and helping others) was warmode + low population layer.
yea it actually worked this time
everyone managed to keep him far inside the cave, away from the entrance, and the gem dropped
im free
What gems are we playing?
legendary fathom and thunder
how is the sim dealing with the legendary gem proc, or rather if it procs roaring war-queen one - does it assume it procs 4x thunderlord?
Im not sure
It seems kinda sus
I cant see 2 of the non-dps ones proccing in simc either
Does 'Legendary' lack an internal cooldown? I just had it, seemingly, proc two effects within a few seconds of each other.
Its just rppm
Alright, coo'
remember other people's legendary can also proc yours
from when it procs war queens
Ooh yeah, that was probably what did it. I was in a group farming torrential
so single player vs group/raid play can happen
ye I was looking at it and can't seem to put my finger on how it works exactly, looking at the implementation it appears that fathomdwellers increasing its proc rate (?) not sure if that is correct or not
what does that even mean, does it just get an extra 'free' proc
no just that for ex if you have the crackling thunder
you can proc yours
legendary and someone with
or legen dary can proc yours again
so you can in theory get like 2 or 3 procs very fast
and this also being a singing thunder
can also proc from legendary and then itself etc etc
but
ideally healrs and tanks have this one and we use the thunder or stat one i forgot the name
for now at least it does not work as theirs
that i can see
but idk if we have free time maybe make a raid of 20 and go crank some dummies
see what happens
I am so confused then 😄
because the sim gets nearly double thunder procs when using legendary
while doing some random world bosses or rares i have gotten zap zap zap zap
which I can only assume would be proccing a war-queen and having it count 4 thunders as your damage
well keep in mind you proc normal thunder and then thunder from legendary and both get amplified by dathom
the last one i cant test well
possible but inside the game things happen 1 way
we can always change it
or they might just fix it
or as always details will do a thing
likely wcl people are taking a vacation tho
for all this trash fire dps allocation
might need to do a study because this shit is staying for at least 6 months with us
its extremely confusing for no reason
they might just delete legendary and it would be funny
how is sub looking for 11.1?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Its not looking
is Legendary Skipper's Citrine not live yet?
so do i just stand at this table and wait for my gems to come up
Nah, you can do stuff on the island. Just check the map. There's a voiceline and WQ spawn.
The table is just activating the events through donations.
are all the gems we want available?
All gems are available
ty bby
Legendary is on the turtle vendor in the camp, and isn't a drop. Just incase you are wondering where it is.
you can get all gems, they hotfixed that in
it was good before but seems to edge out other options now
nice ill sim it feelsbad i crafted one last week now

yo guys, my ring appears 642 on rio but i see a sham with 645... what the actual fuck?https://raider.io/characters/us/frostmourne/Zorthar?season=season-tww-1
no clue?
supposedly they're extremely rare
guys i learned the shuddering hollow tech
you gotta have a buddy shard you to ravenholdt server
cuz its rp/pvp servers so it doesnt shard with other servers
guys, trying to get back into sub, cause assa is boring. what do i do in this situation?
send dance and symbols or hold
iam always unsure if i need to save or if cdr is fast enough
(hdr screenshot problem, thats why its kinda bad quality)
firstly, your flag and blades shouldn't have an 11 second cd difference
assuming both were at 10 sec cd there
you wait
For Deathstalker, we just go straight into the second shadow dance in our burst?
Sometimes, sec tech doesn't fit so just wondering
you wait for sectec
cuz superscharger
you can do a finisher between the dances, imo it lines up better that way
unless you get giga procs in the first dance and can just send back to back
how on earth am I supposed to get those gems from this bugged shit? I don't understand it -.-
find low pop shard and go war mode
i just killed it with one other person nearby in one blaades window
okay maybe thats it. thx will try that out
!up
OK So I know how they got the 645 (and I wished I knew it before so my main had it). Basicaly the catch up mecanics for alts doesnt depends on weither or not you have finished the quest line. So you do it with your alt, then with your main you go on the island you kill few of the rare boss until you got the Raw Singing Citrine, then you do the quest line normaly and you got a second one.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
btw this trinket if available at a higher lvl is very good
it is around 4-5k secondary on demand
some ppl have 645 ilv ring yet through a bug or?
1/67 from the weekly on my enh
zamn
wdym 1/67?
i got it on champion track specifically from the weekly chest reward
which gives a random item from a pool of specifically 67 items according to wowhead
holy
yea for alts it is very fine
even for us sadly crit is not the best but still
big boorst
at least for shaman seems pretty strong
huh i got it from chest too
i had the choice between that trink and contract at 639 for a vault and i chose contract
kinda regret it now
yeah it's magic haha
for gods know what reason
looks like physical
i killed myself trying to evasion it and the start of the season
ye me too
didnt know why it wouldnt work
also idk why but fixate on mobs before 3rd boss of nw was hitting through my evasion start of season but now it works
you might have been at a slight angle maybe
oh wait those mobs
yeah that happens sometimes
i'm actually not entirely sure why
i don't trust evasion on them anymore
which chest
more than 5 target, using black powder is better even flawless form up right?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
purple chest from siren isles
yup
but still coup
ahha thank u
How high is your gamma setting?
worse than heroic contract for st
i turned it up for brood but now im just used to it
1 gamma feels too dark now
Do you use hdmi?
brothers where i can get this socket? Fathomdweller
couldnt find it n?
its in the cringe area that bugs
its the sceond gem that drops there
i got legendary and thunderlord
Can you check in the nvidia control panel if the color settings are set to full
this one
second time you clear it
but it bugs a lot so its annoying to get
i went to ravenholdt shard on warmode to clear it for gems
ahhh oki
where that setting?
it's too bad this trinket is crit. would probably be good if it wasnt
i could see it being good on other specs though
since its all three main stats
oh wait it might not be simming the buff
lemme check
do i need to kill it over and over again to get the socket or what,
twice without the event bugging out
@vale pine it doesn't seem like this trinket buff is being simmed dunno if it's high prio though tbh
Is DS on queen viable? I dont wanna coup my entire raid down to hell
Also how is it rn compared to court
I heard it got much easier tho
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/az6qV8TqPjhhJryJop96H1 the queen ring and the rare back sim lower for me than the other pieces i have. I guess the question is, do I wanna give up those effects for a little more damage
obv i think yes lol
I feel like i have too much fucking crit with the queen ring and the rare proc cloak
is there a way to make coup not dash to your target when out of melee?
Get closer

sounds good
That shit has almost killed me a few times.
I like deathstalker better, I’m one of the few. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore lol
it just killed me in a siege I didnt even know it was a thing until it happened lol
It happens. Just gotta track when Coup is up
dont press evis at range
you will learn after some deaths
because blizz wont fix it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i don't find the coup dash that bad, it's quite rare i actually mess up
definitely would rather it not to be a thing, but once i got used to it doesn't really bother me much anymore
yeah i just didnt know it was thing until it happened to me lol i must have missed it in a tooltip somewhere that it does that
if you're not expecting it it's a pretty big wtf just happened moment haha
How diff is the DS st playstyle vs trickster?
pretty different
the biggest difference is in aoe
Trickster aoe feels banger
Don’t think I’d change that
Was wondering about ST
Nimble is so sick
trickster feels way better to play
but blizz is on a run of trying to force us to play DS
😦
i just noticed this on blizz asking for feedback regarding the new tier sets
maybe one day they'll realize sub has this issue with DS
What about ‘tier sets used to be tailored to the specs to change up gameplay’ instead of ‘everyone gets the same tier set’
so the 4 set part is at least unique to each spec
it's the 2 set part that's the same for everyone
i think it's an interesting thing to do, mixing things up is a good thing
the major issue is for melee, how winning streak works is pretty dog
hopefully they rework it
i think they do considering it's basically 1 rework for 1/3rd of the specs in the game
I mean, this is subjective, I love spamming big ass black powders on aoe pulls. I like everything about deathstalker better than trickster. Probably because I find the fantasy a lot cooler, but still.
yeah subjective for sure
but i would say most people in this channel prefer trickster
I do not think they are the same tier set because the 4 pc is not the same, the effects of the 3 specs for us are not copy/paste between the specs with spell names changed
the 4 pcs are definitely unique
and historically 2 pcs are never that special to begin with in terms of changing up gameplay
that's the 4pc
typically
And the part that is potentially "interesting" and gameplay interacting, with something to change up gameplay and/or add some interesting design/TCing
is the 4 pc
So if the 2 pc being somewhat homogenized leaves up room for them to put more time into the 4 pcs
that's good, imo
I also don't know how these specific cases will play out
it's really hard to say how things will feel until we have it in our hands
if you'll recall, this channel and many people were very doomer about sub going into 11.0.5
and then once it went live
it was suddenly "Oh, this is actually great"
there was no major difference in what was announced vs what we got, it was just a prediction that it would be bad before it went live
I am pessimistic about the concept of Winning Streak, and I think the assa version is very undercooked
I don't like the assa 4 pc
I think the sub 4 pc is interesting, though I don't like the push towards DS because I prefer trickster
yeah i liked tier sets for the way it changes how specs play, and idk to me they all kinda do the same thing, maybe it feels different to play, but the 2 piece on all melee functions the same, which removes some of the reason for why i would play an alt / swap specs for a tier
But was the 2-piece really the reason set bonuses felt good in the past?
Typically the meaty cool part of set bonuses has been the 4 pc anyways
it's more i no longer have an option that goes against something if i dont like it
That is fair
if you dont like the way the 2 piece funtions at all, you have no option
If you hate winning streak (which I'm not really happy about compared to Jackpot or Luck or Insurance) and you want to play melee, you're out of luck
that's true
but you still have the unique 4 pcs if they make them unique enough and interesting (not saying that they have for everyone)
there are clearly a lot of variance
Some 4pcs are insane and cool
otehrs are uh
real bad
yeah, i am being slightly more doomer about it than i should be, but that's cause i hate the whole goblins aesthetic
i really liked legion / shadowlands aethetic, the fantastical parts etc, i thought bastion was a cool looking zone etc, goblins just too industrial
thats because ppl dont listen to ol' Sap,played and realized and called Sub will be a thing 
98% of the ppl(leaving 2% for the benefit of the doubt) dont know what they play when it comes to this spec
Yeah it bridges further away from what I like about this game, it's always been a part of it, there've been pollution themed areas and goblin industry since vanilla (northern Barrens stuff)
maybe im closseted claustrophobic (kek irony in that wording), but maybe it's also the lack of sky for another zone
but I don't like it as a zone personally
I don't mind the no sky personally
But like
4 themes/vibes of all 4 zones of TWW that we have currently
are great, they all give good contrast for me and hit the right beats aesthetically and thematically
I like all of them, even AK
I sometimes get claustrophobic in the ringing deeps so I spend the least time there I guess but I still like it
goblin/industry zone pushes away from what I like
If you want to REALLY have a spooky time
Turn down your view distance
and go to AK
and drink an inky black potion
i dislike specifically the jank machines, they're all uber clowny and over the top. maybe it's cause i have an engineering background, but engineering is all about efficiency, and what goblins do aint that XD
My impression was that engineering fields IRL are like 98% about safety and triple/quadruple redundancies, explicitly not what goblins are about lmao
(triple/quadruple may even be an understatement)
at least civil engineering
to get nerdy about it i believe the average factor of safety we'd design for was 2/2.5
but inside of that, was cost reduction etc, and stuff to make lighter solutions with same strengths etc
i am a very big fan of minimalist design, so when i see a jagged metal shark mouth on the front of a gun i jsut dont enjoy it
I feel like what they're going for with them is the childish spirit of innovation and rule of cool combined with the sentiment 'it worked once so it's finished like this'
I mean sure
I don't not understand what they're trying to go for
I get it
I just don't like it
My eyeballs don't like looking at it
i agree, SL had incredibly beautiful zones
i still loved playing SL because it was visually stunning
I liked SL because I only played the first season and I was casual and not exposed to a bunch of the covenant bullshit
and then I stopped playing SL for FFXIV so I skipped the season 2 that everyone hated
then came back for zereth mortis
which I really really liked aesthetically
the entire of SL looked great
so I dodged all the stuff people hated about shadowlands
and just played the parts that I enjoyed so I have a more positive impression of it than others
the only thing i really didn't like about SL was how covenants worked and the coveneant bullshit in dungeons
it was VERY restrictive to pushing keys
i am a big arpg fan, so i never understood peoples hate for torghast, and i played monk so it was kinda really fun getting the right powers
i honestly think torghast was great
Torghast was fine, and I think if you sit anyone who hated it down
they'll admit it was a fun thing in isolate to play
DS master race.
the problem was it being a requirement and a chore to do
they didn't let it breath as its own gamemode
and that strangled what it could be
Which then poisoned the entire concept
which sucks
to be fair, i also miss the artifact weapons, heart of azeroth, cause i liked there being a dedicated task to do daily
i find myself stuck for anything to do in wow atm, cause there is no pressure to do anything
I think it’s a good thing that both hero trees have their own strengths and you can play either one without being that far behind.
This is awesome, I have a wife and a kid. It’s great that I’m not falling behind because I’m not no lifing content.
oh i fully get that, but i struggle with motivations to do things, so unless it's in my way, i wont do it
the entire purpose of a MMO is a huge world you interact with to advance in the game
If you want to look at it honestly, wows player base is not getting younger in age. Which means we don’t have as much time to play as we once did. I’m glad that I don’t have to grind useless content to be optimal.
people want to raid log and not do anything outside of "real" content, and then get mad that wow has nothing to do and is boring
like in terms of world quests i wont touch them. in BFA the system where you had the caches for doing 3 quests a day or whatever had me more involved
Yeah I hear that
But it also had me doing world quests for shit I had no use for just to be more involved.
yeah, i think it's over all better now, just not for me
We don’t have to be playing the game 24/7 for it to be good, it wasn’t always like that
Shit in wrath my guild needed a warrior tank. So I leveled a warrior and they carried me through icc and I was fully geared in 2 weeks. Then we continued with prog with me as the tank. That was bomb
Shadowlands was good imo once they let you switch covenants easily the abilities that came out of it were good
the story was a bit how you going, but the zones were great
The first tier of shadowlands was my last tier as a CE raider, and we had an awesome team at the time, so I loved it
Nathria mythic was a good raid outside of SLG
That wasn't very fun
Sire was one of the best end bosses I remember
How badly do you think no 1:30 stat trinket will hit us next season?
I feel like playing no active sub is typically a pretty big deal
Scenario: we will play transmitter -> blizz nerf it to the ground -> sub dead (10 players play sub) -> 3rd awakening season we use transmitter again
Hell yeah, congrats
Any recommendations for sub m+ players to watch streams/youtube?
There aren't any really. Eleem and Hachadino posts videos from time to time, but that's about it
congratulations
kush plays it sometimes,
Hachadion/Stealthi stream from time to time
I think Eleem has some mythic+ runs uploaded on youtube.
do we have a loot tables for the new raid and such
since its ptr and very early it does not currently matter
but rn there is nothing like the transmitter in the next raid aka 90 sec burst trinket
maybe we play double stat proc trinket?
i think motherlode and Darkflame crest has some
DFC one has master on it
Getting warrior ready for s2
sub will probably play double on-use trinkets

well there’s still the issue of deathstalker existing
maybe delves get a good 90 second trinket.
What flavour of Warrior?
I’m an arms enjoyer generally.
Mmhm
If I was a Warrior main, which I almost was when I started WoW, I would've been arms to death
BIG crits for BIG boys
I’ll have both ready. They can decide what they want me to play / what we need
We struggle having a consistent warrior in raid
let it all out
I still wish their class hall was more interesting
sub gameplay better. Both warrior specs gameplay better than assa or outlaw.
and you basically always have WF now in raid
I can’t remember last time I had WF in raid
As arms
The best shaman change they ever made.
the MM Hunter changes look incredible
Yeah, I'm really interested how it works out, I like MM a lot
!wa
How are you secondaries so much higher then mine, while our gear is comparable.
Consumables, secondary distribution.
What gems are those? Crit/something?
Yeah masterful ruby
I run Versatile Onyx and I'm sitting at:
how do we get the legendary gem
It's on the turtle vendor in the camp.
I enjoy playing Wow, mostly as a Rogue. Im responsible for the Subtlety guide over at Icy Veins.

ty
interesting, i also only play arms on my warr
is this some collective mind
haha true!
It was shot during raid, so stats are way higer
Higher
bro your tmog
i have no words
I think the concepts are similar enough between the specs where it gives similar copium hits
a part of it for me is when i started playing warr i was doing a lot of pvp
and arms used to be the only viable warrior spec in pvp for the longest time
(but also i remember seeing arms warriors dominate bgs during BC and they looked so cool)
Xd i havent mogged in a while since im an ugly gnome now
oh i get it, you're literally wearing 2 different mogs because of gear swapping
it all makes sense now
i thought you were pulling a max
is sub deathstalker less viable in m+ then trickster? just wondering because i feel extremely energy starved with trickster in m+
well outside of cds mostly
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
I guess yeah but blowing cds on a pack and then hitting for nothing feels meh
then likely not the spec for you
Though with deathstalker with tt feels nice

But still waiting on the answer to my question xD
Trickster is better
Sorry
You get more use of CDs, does better with variable mob counts
DS Sub in keys is a temo version of Assa
+1
The only place DS is better in sims was 3min 5 Target sim if I recall correctly.
Theyre both fine, theres practically no difference in energy regen between the two hero talents anyway
Id recommend trickster but ds is fine if you prefer that
only difference would be if you play tea as DS
also why am i sitting here reading trade chat argue politics while i'm doing my crafting
Yea tea is the bandaid, but why?
Drop the pizza question into it
sow chaos
nah i'm just gonna let them tear each other apart lol
kush played tea while he was experimenting with DS sub in keys, it does feel better to play
it at least felt better when playing DS in lower keys
say Happy Hanukkah and see where that spirals to.
but i think trickster just always feels better
trade chat on NA has just been non stop politics since the election
embrace the peaks and valleys out realize assa or outlaw prob more fun for you.
random snapshot of what i'm looking at
Hahaha
being this delusional to thinking you're actually going to change someone's mind arguing online is cute
They’ll go on FB after they log off wow
i stopped using facebook a few years back
Why couldn't they put QM's of all 4 factions in Dornogal so I don't have to fly my alt around all four zones.
I'm lazy blizzard.
Wish I could. I have to use it for dog training and selling my services.
damn i'm sorry 😦
Darn, that sucks.
i was actually in one of the early waves of FB users when the site launched
back when you could only use the site with a .edu email
it was used as a way for university students to keep in contact with each other
The golden age of fb
I enjoy how broken the content alogirhm is for me.
it was pretty sick, we were coming off the days of myspace at that time
Just the most ludicrous, nonsensical stuff served.
MySpace /LiveJournal
ICQ
IRC!

I miss irc

hahaha save me
from that hell
i like seeing the calm in the chat while everyone's on their brief time out from being able to post
and then the spam starts again
well its that with vigor and tea it feels less energy deprived outside of cds thats why i was asking if ds was viable aswell
You’re making something feel better that really isn’t helping your dps is the problem
when kush was running tea DS he was doing pretty monster overall, so it's viable
assuming high enough keys where rupture lasted
kush WAS running DB at that same time too yeah
but i tried it out with just tea DS and also rotten, seemed alright
That context is important
i honestly think tea is good if you're doing low end keys because you can get more globals off
but once keys get high enough you don't need to be filling every global
Kush isn't playing low keys tho?
nah he's not
Idk tea doesnt really make you get that much more globals
the issue with kush's build is it had not good ST
Tea probably still better used in dance. Idk
i think it's honestly more psychological for me
Yes its better to use tea in dance
i do 10s now using trickster and i have no problem with running 100 energy
tea is like 2 more globals
if you account for vigor filling up between pulls, then probably more
Thats all its for though
In terms of more globals
end of the day if it makes you happy. Play it
oh actually tea is not bad if your tank is single pulling
Its also +7% or whatever to your BP§ech
it’s just not a bandaid for out of CDs
not really, no
so then why are people against it?
people aren't against it, just don't prefer it
Because it feels ass to play comparatively, and i dont think its better
Sub is one of the best boss dmg specs while still doing aoe

it feels like the old sub playstyle with bp feels comfy
because DS makes you do some pretty turbo rule breaking
DS as kush played it is gimped boss dmg
but ds is great on bosses no or what
Not with that talent setup no
trickster feels better imo because you can dance much more often
so just play assa
more cdr on dance and sectec
There’s a lot of moving parts
the feeling of playing trickster is better because you're more able to use cds aggressively
and you destroy the boss
DS has this combo of making you build past 6 CPs to finish on DN (which is a rule break)
forcing you to cast evis in aoe
and also has way less cdr
Casting storm and getting 6 cp with DN up 
peak gameplay
here's to hoping they change the shadow dmg part of the new 4set
or else we're stuck with DS
it would be pretty tragic if next tier was "play DS everywhere"
my mental can’t handle that
i'm holding out hope for the next set of notes
Most of your dmg in aoe is bp no with MoD so using marks in aoe feels useless, hence why i think for the ST part DS would be nice? atleast that is my thought process of that
trickster has very good ST too
