Yeee.. That's going to be pretty awkward

viral girder
#

That was the recommended raid single target build on wowhead was deathstalker

#

That @vale pine did

#

So.

uneven scarab
#

well

#

If you read into it more

#

He kinda says dont play it

#

Trickster is like 2% behind but its wayyy better to play

#

not that you CANT play it

#

but its a pain to

#

Compared to trickster

keen dome
#

Deathstalker is reeeally janky to play, and I think with your macroing it's going to feel even worse. Like, won't you run into DN issues and wasting stuff?

viral girder
#

The wowhead

uneven scarab
#

Yes

viral girder
#

literally says "PLAY THIS"

hollow spear
#

Your reasoning for why you want the castsequence does not align with playing DS

#

DS distracts me and I don't even have mild adhd

uneven scarab
#

Its most likely outdated or not updated

viral girder
#

its updated for 11.0.7

#

The current patch

uneven scarab
#

Hmm well

#

I promise you most people play trickster

#

even with the dps loss

keen dome
#

It's been a while since I played DS but without the CDR from Trickster, would stuff even align properly for a macro at 1:30 to properly execute it all?

#

Namely SecTec, I mean

swift tinsel
#

you'd probably just hold everything at that point then send the macro

keen dome
#

Yeah, I guess.

uneven scarab
#

depends on how he uses sd and dance inbetween flag+blades

viral girder
#

between the rupture plague damages, the 30% more shadow damage for gloomblade and shit after shadow blades ends, etc. the crits for the gurneteed eviscerate crits, etc. Its things I dont have to really worry about. I attack boss. I just naturally do more damage from the single target things

swift tinsel
#

which felt gross to type ngl

guys is m+ bricked when I got 2 invites at all in the last 2 1/2 weeks for keys? i even que up as assa and then do the switcherino afterwards (if i ever get invited). Its always fkn aug/enhancer or ele/dk or balance....this is just fucked up at this point. and when i play my own key ppl fk it up in 10 seconds too

swift tinsel
#

lfg is a wasteland

uneven scarab
#

Game is dying and m+ is even more dead

#

its that time of the xpac

swift tinsel
#

depending on the time of day and key level there's maybe 0-3 keys

uneven scarab
#

Unless you have a group you play with gl

#

Seriously

gritty knot
#

i am lf some 15s and 16s. ye its impossible without a team

swift tinsel
#

if I didn't run with guildies I wouldn't run at all

uneven scarab
#

^^

swift tinsel
#

only time I queue is as MW for fun

uneven scarab
#

Same

swift tinsel
#

and I use the term fun loosely

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

tried healing a prot pal with 50% sotr uptime

gritty knot
keen dome
#

Rough, that sucks 😦

gritty knot
#

tbh this is 100% blizzs fault, as always. because they dont give any shits

viral girder
#

If not for my brothers and guild, Id just keep my sub canceled and play rivals all day

swift tinsel
#

yeah it really feels abandoned and whatever they do now to mitigate isn't helping

keen dome
#

My hot take is I think M+ is pretty unfun and bad right now but this would spiral into my whole loot issue speech and I've done that enough.

vale pine
viral girder
#

When it was the build you have on your guide

lilac stag
viral girder
swift tinsel
#

got a bimodal distribution of changes and too many people left in the middle

keen dome
#

Ye

viral girder
#

Imho the dungeon difficulty spike in mythic is not fair. I dont wanna risk all that time, annoyance, possible deaths and wasted golds on repairs... to not even get enough crests to upgrade a piece of gear. Or to not get gear at all.

lilac stag
#

DS is an easier to understand version of the spec and in a bubble of ST with certain fight times it sims / performs better.

vale pine
lilac stag
#

also fuck DS

swift tinsel
lilac stag
vale pine
#

ah perfect if the confusion was cleared

#

👍

viral girder
#

I can tell why its better st just by reading its passives with the extra damage after shadow blades for 30%, the extra rupture duration, the plague damage, etc.

#

Its a ot of passive single target buffs to my normal kit that I dont really have to pay attention to it just "happens"

hazy breach
#

It randomly makes your auto attack do like 12% of your damage

#

Very fun

vale pine
#

I would just play Trickster everywhere, its more fun

swift tinsel
#

I wonder if blizz has a bot in here that logs whenever people say that and when it hits a certain number it buffs BP

keen dome
#

hint hint, blizzard

swift tinsel
#

You actual menace

#

I want Dave to be a real spec

By God that opener macro had a family!

swift tinsel

Every spec gets Crackshot

but it does more for Sub and Sin

#

just to piss off the pirates

Don't summon zac

"Acro was overrated"

What if!

Goremaw in the class tree.

swift tinsel

So...from what im telling is the opener, is literally just... the same macro if I do this cast sequence macro thing... just one has trinkets/probably 30 second combat flasks wile the other doesnt...?

Never tried that spec. I'm afraid I might like it 💀

and one doenst have vanish while the other does

Been playing mistweaver bc its fun to play a spec that gets regular positive attention

sullen hare

Mistweaver is a pretty good time. That's my healer alt

swift tinsel

rogue is usually at the or near the top on boss dmg

hollow spear

Have you met shamans?

sullen hare
#

The plural of anecdote is not data and having specs with literally 3000 parses on the board is not a great dataset

vale pine
sullen hare
#

Always has been

swift tinsel
hollow spear
#

I'm convinced the parses are all from the nerds on this discord and that's the reason I barely manage to get orange parses

swift tinsel
#

erratic boss movement by tanks is my 13th reason

#

I get so tilted when things move for no reason lol

viral girder
#

I did notice in the rotation for flag that @hazy breach Has up , i cant do a secret techniques in that combo because theres no combo gen after the initial eviscerate after flag

#

Wait...

#

nvm am I just stupid

keen dome
viral girder
#

I am

#

Forgot to shadow strike

#

Nvm this time its user error

#

skipped over the shadow strike for what ever reason

hollow spear
#

Can't wait for priory m+ without acro

hazy breach
#

What

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

Feinting on CD is gonna be fun

keen dome
#

Actually pretty hyped for that dungeon 'cos it's so short, and so dense.

#

I think it's going to be fun.

tepid trellis
#

DS angle just Storm + BP that pack

hollow spear
#

More fainting than feinting, amirite!?

viral girder
swift tinsel
#

tank strat gonna kite in a circle around the room constantly

viral girder
#

I read this and my brain didnt process the shadowstrike

#

So I was confused why I had no combo for ST

#

Its user error. Dont worry about it

swift tinsel
#

Lol coup in paladin room is gonna be a liability for sure

keen dome
#

It's gonna rule.

swift tinsel
#

Gonna make an MLG montage of it

keen dome
#

I need to collect a stupid death from every dungeon and raid boss with coup.

swift tinsel
#

Omg that would be so funny

tepid trellis
#

if i had mic on stream for prog, i would have had a funny one

swift tinsel
#

"Here's the best way to anhero in every dungeon, like comment subscribe"

tepid trellis
#

died to coup on queen

#

started ranting

#

made myself more angry with the rant

#

then i threw my mouse across the room

swift tinsel
#

the classic snowball of rage lmao

hollow spear
#

Did the mouse survive?

#

Prog cancelled thanks to coup

tepid trellis
#

nah it died

#

had a another one tho

vale pine
keen dome
#

rip mouse

viral girder
#

See once I get everything set up. Its gonna be a now "when the fuck do I use which defensive"

keen dome
#

..I guess it proc'd coup de grace itself. And charged into a wall.

hollow spear
#

Maybe you can make a castsequence for your defensives too 😛

viral girder
#

Like they have... weird fucking defenses

tepid trellis
viral girder
#

Does dodge work on Aoes

swift tinsel
#

Feint aoe

tepid trellis
swift tinsel
#

Dodge melee and some weird mechs

tepid trellis
#

some yes

#

some no

#

hf

#

learning that

#

trial by error BABYYYYYY

swift tinsel
#

run elusiveness and hit everything lol

hollow spear
#

Feint is all about using it and checking your logs afterwards

swift tinsel
#

Swifty macro but make it defensive

viral girder
#

Feints an obvious one.
If a giant aoe is under my feet about to hit me, press it.

#

But the evasion is more so the one i'd prob have trouble knowing when to hit

tepid trellis
#

yeh until it doesent work on it xD

viral girder
#

What you mean

viral girder
#

Come on wow

viral girder
#

I gotta get better at shadow steps

uneven scarab
#

Get ready for your rogue defensives to only work on half of what you expect them too

viral girder
#

I might just... ally cast or mouse over that to shadow step to healers or some shit

#

Basically the only time I use it is if I get hit with a knock back

tepid trellis
viral girder
#

Shadowstrike does its job when im not in combat

viral girder
#

Give me a sec to find my reaction for this

tepid trellis
#

new season new things to learn KEKW

viral girder
tepid trellis
#

hmm this magic dmg spell

viral girder
#

Found it. My boi

tepid trellis
#

can i cloak this?

viral girder
#

This is my reaction to this

tepid trellis
#

lemme try

uneven scarab
#

Classic oh yeah lemme evasion this oh too bad its actually an attack AND A SPELL

tepid trellis
#

nope it did not

uneven scarab
#

So i STILL GET HIT

viral girder
#

Just give me a normal DR ability like eveyr other class that works against everything you bastards

swift tinsel
#

I love the game of "Can I shadowstep this beam or will I die"

tepid trellis
#

does the 1 sec full immunity from cloak then work on it?

viral girder
#

I have 2 defensives and it sounds like the most unreliable shit

tepid trellis
#

dead nope

viral girder
#

Like come on

#

I thought boomkins had it worse

swift tinsel
#

They're just louder

tepid trellis
#

well you spec into it

swift tinsel
#

and more consistently annoying

tepid trellis
#

then its a flat DR

viral girder
#

Atleast boomkins get bonus armor while being in boomkin

tepid trellis
#

Evasion feint + cloak can all be % dmg reduction

viral girder
swift tinsel
#

Yeah but how much killing damage is phys vs magical

viral girder
#

Oh this gonna be a blast

swift tinsel
#

so the extra armor is meh

worn cape
viral girder
#

I assume Im grabbing avoidance on my bracers/cloak

tepid trellis
#

stand in shit

swift tinsel
#

Avoidance is nice fs

tepid trellis
#

and just press a defensive to see if it works

swift tinsel
#

I hop in to lfr for some of that

tepid trellis
#

i just terrorize our HC runs

uneven scarab
#

My favorite is NW first boss, without elusiveness the only way you live is the 1s immunity on cloak

tepid trellis
swift tinsel
#

follower dungeons too for the base mechs

uneven scarab
#

Otherwise instant dead

young steeple
#

i just got a myth sikran arsenal drop but my other trinkets are passive and like ilvl 600, when should i use these ?

#

im assuming outside of shadow

worn cape
viral girder
#

bro this timewalking event coming up soon is gonna be so nice to get gear for my rogue.

swift tinsel
#

yeah I thought wretch was an evasion angle

viral girder
#

Every weeks a new time walking for a new heroic piece. dead

tepid trellis
#

you can evasion it + 1 sec cloak immunity it

uneven scarab
#

I swear evasion didnt work on it hmmm

#

damn

#

Im just washed

wind canopy
uneven scarab
#

its been too long

tepid trellis
#

dont take my word for it tho

#

i jsut remember SL

#

i havent done m+ this season

tepid trellis
uneven scarab
#

i swear

worn cape
#

I guess I should make one for myself next season then 😛

young steeple
#

when should i use sikran arsenal on use?

#

before opener?

#

or after blades

uneven scarab
#

After

#

you want a cd trinket for opener

hollow spear
#

I remember having to explain to my RL why I didn't have cloak after using it before my killing spree during some beam mechanic 😅

young steeple
#

okeoke

swift tinsel
uneven scarab
#

Killing spree HOLY

#

kill me please spree more like

keen dome
#

It does what it says on the skill name, though.

#

It just doesn't kill the enemy.

hollow spear
#

It doesn't discriminate

uneven scarab
#

Hahah

hollow spear
#

My hands are too old for outlaw now

tepid trellis
#

if i could play it with a broken wrist then so can you old man

hollow spear
#

Now I need the safety blanket for coup huehue

#

Outlaw is like sub during cooldowns, it just never stops

tepid trellis
#

85apm aint that bad to keep up

#

pretty sure if tracked my apm when i play sub its a good bit over 100

#

i spam my buttons alot

hollow spear
#

True

#

But it feels different

viral girder
#

Wait... why do I no longer have access to the channel that eleem had up for combos

hollow spear
#

He probably found out that you played DS 🫣

uneven scarab
hollow spear
#

Jk, I don't have access either. Maybe he's making adjustments.

tepid trellis
#

i dont have access either

#

so something changed

hazy breach
#

Ye i removed it

tepid trellis
#

ah

hazy breach
#

Because its outdated

#

But people keep referencing it

tepid trellis
#

aite aite

hollow spear
#

I kinda liked it

tepid trellis
#

should prolly have fuu remove the link to it then

#

in his pin

hazy breach
#

Oh ye probably

tepid trellis
#

@vale pine

#

^

vale pine
#

sry

#

what needs update?

tepid trellis
#

the pin

#

with the link to the channel eleem used

rough rivet
#

this one

tepid trellis
#

remove it PogO2

vale pine
#

what part of it is wrong

tepid trellis
#

the channel is removed

#

to the link to it

vale pine
#

oh, the link to the tc

#

ahh

#

moment

tepid trellis
#

should get yeeted

vale pine
#

updated

#

thanks

#

okay, removed some pins too

#

should all be fine now

lilac stag
#

@vale pine can you remove !symbols

vale pine
#

i can ye

lilac stag
#

Pretty sure it’s outdated

vale pine
#

gone

viral girder
#

Whats the 2 poisons im using? Instant and Atrophic?

twilit phoenix
#

In keys you’d use mind numbing

tulip gorge
#

is mind numbing that good tho

#

3% dr is pretty solid

hollow spear
#

for high keys, probably atrophic

#

for low keys, I'd for sure take mind numbing

open vortex
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
hollow spear
#

How many targets are implied for when flawless form is not up? 2 or more?

ember mural
#

!logs

steel zinc
#

That's roughly a 1/4 healer

#

Rogue has one of the strongest raid buffs for high end raiding and one of the worst for farm.

viral girder
#

Thats fucking insane

#

For just a simple poison

uneven scarab
#

Atrophic is either insane or useless

#

no inbetween

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

but it's very good, shame nobody really cares about it as much as a dmg buff

vague oar
#

hey i have a question. i got assigned to use my vanish on first root on queen. since i can't vanish rupture on pull, do i bother applying rupture, or do i just eviscerate and go strait into dance window?

viral girder
#

Bringing that for literally noting

tribal blade
#

i don't understand what you mean literally nothing

#

other classes bring damage buffs for literally nothing too

viral girder
#

I mean. It is literally nothing.
Its an a free to cast hour long buff

#

tht procs for existing

swift tinsel
tribal blade
#

doesn't almost every thing that exists like atrophic

swift tinsel
#

flag - rupture - cd's

vague oar
#

gotcha, so rupturing is higher prio than evis there

#

ty

viral girder
#

And is that 350k in raid or a dungeon scenario.. because thats also vastley difference

swift tinsel
#

you want to have it up for your cooldown window so you don't refresh it during

#

or apply during

tribal blade
#

put it this way, rogues will never ever get taken to keys because of atrophic

swift tinsel
#

its still good damage

vague oar
#

appreciate it

swift tinsel
#

You'll lose a bit of SnD uptime but with the guaranteed Unseen procs from using sectech (assuming you're playing trickster) you aren't missing out on that much

tawdry meadow
#

Hi all, just curious. Why is rupture high prio in the rotation? Is it purely just the dmg or is there a second order effect of having it up?

Sorry for the newb question. Trying leveling Sub as an alt and I’m 625 IL but I’m parsing low blues 😢

hazy breach
#

It just does damage

tawdry meadow
#

Thanks Eileen - what would you say is the biggest factor is getting parses up for Sub? Like, what do you think people do wrong consistently?

hazy breach
#

Prob not doing your flag windows correctly

tawdry meadow
#

I usually pop flag-evis-symbols-dance-SecretTech-blades

fallow nimbus
#

Bad flag windows are often a result of bad dance/sod/sectec management between cds and/or unlucky mechanics

#

Last few weeks i always got the damn sikran charge in the opener

tawdry meadow
woeful barn
#

Some fights like sikran im pressing the second sectech and the boss is dashing for first set of spirits. The timing is so close.

tawdry meadow
#

Ah do you pop transmitter right before your first sec tech? That I think gets you enough time to pop sectech again before transmitter runs off?

lilac stag
#

@tribal blade got to first intermission night one with 19 people.

tribal blade
#

progging court gonna be pretty fast after the nerfs

#

they made orbs a complete non issue, which is nice

lilac stag
#

web bitch is interesting.

#

I’ll try sub next night to see how the timings feel there.

tribal blade
#

cdr might be iffy, but probably will work

lilac stag
#

I think it’ll be ok. Just have to look a little closer when to pop stuff

#

Thankfully the boomie I’m paired up with is good about communicating so we’re sorting out web baits on him.

tribal blade
woeful barn
swift tinsel
#

DS has a much harder time fitting second sectech into transmitter

vale pine
#

timings on DS are quite tight, it is more punishing for mistakes

#

Trickster is just design wise better

brisk onyx
#

Agree

lilac stag
#

Design wise I’m not sure. It has a pretty steep entry for understand how it all works together.

Cdr is def better on tricky

#

neither is great design. Just those already comfy with sub be having fun with trickster. Fml if I had to learn all of it fresh.

jaunty heath
#

And it was uhm

#

An experience

#

Especially because it was much less comparable to now

#

Triple secret tech opener trickster HOLY

#

I kinda miss that tho

lilac stag
#

I think the “skill expression/difficulty” is still part of why the spec struggles with getting play time in mythic

jaunty heath
#

Even tho the window was tight as shit

jaunty heath
#

Like you can read your Talent tree

lilac stag
#

it’s a fuck ton to keep in mind compared to so many specs

jaunty heath
#

And you don’t have a single clue what’s happening

lilac stag
#

So we have 2 90 second CDs, and we don’t stack them? OMEGAKEKW

jaunty heath
#

I mean tbf it’s better than before

lilac stag
#

Maybe delete blades. Give Flag 2 charges

jaunty heath
#

All tied in with transmitter this season

#

It’s a bit much

#

But ye it’s been better

lilac stag
#

It’s actually comical the difference between ST assa and sub

jaunty heath
#

Pre rework was crazy to learn

#

But also a very fun experience if you are into that

#

Im part of that minority

#

But it’s pretty bad for anyone not into complex/steep learning curves

lilac stag
#

Which is most of the aging wow player base. dead

vale pine
#

subtlety got a lot easier ^^

#

10.2 was hard to learn, the baseline now is fairly simple

ember mural
void hound
#

i find this tier to be harder than 10.2 for sub

rocky ocean
#

no idea what 10.2 sub was but the 1 charge symbols scare me

void hound
#

well you had two symbols every time you went into cds cause of shadowdust

#

also one symbol charge made it easier cause you would always send it

#

there was hardly any decision making

#

plus supercharger wasnt a thing

#

so it really was a fire and forget kind of spell

keen dome
#

10.2 was a lot of fun, but def fiddly. Figuring out when to send vanish for dust, etc. Smolderon was a ton of fun with double on use.

#

I reaaaally like current Sub though. Supercharger, symbol charges, etc. It feels great.

rocky ocean
#

subtlety

void hound
#

id argue 10.2 was easier cause you only ever had to think about vanish use, and thats it
now you have to think a lot more about every dance, symbols, cold blood and sec tec (if you want to min max)
also the fact that you can get into situations now where depending on cp generation (or lack thereof), you can squeeze in extra spells, adding even more decision making to the mix

void hound
#

also very high skill cap, i dont think ive seen a log where someone performed the double cold blood + snap shot tech perfectly on every intermission

#

smolder was also great, cause it 100% came down to execution
kyveze is unfortunately a lot more RNG due to how the fight is designed

rocky ocean
#

someone said RNG???
*Blizzard enters with goblins and gamba season

void hound
#

kvyeza is a great fight to progress on, but can be frustrating when you want to parse

keen dome
#

Sub Queen best queen

void hound
#

i agree, silken court too

keen dome
#

Oh I mean Kyveza. She's the sub queen.

void hound
#

oh

#

agreed, all her animations and spells are so cool

vale pine
#

blizz should add them to subtlety

void hound
#

we will get them when the sub clone rework comes around

#

sectec will do little regicides

tribal blade
#

dust sub goes down as one of the hardest rotations in the game

#

second to arcane mage

void hound
#

only hard part about 10.2 was playing smold to perfection

#

well

#

not saying 10.2 was easy

leaden prairie
#

i mean the only hard thing is figuring out dust timers tho

#

once thats done

#

its done

void hound
#

yeah exactly

tribal blade
#

i guess so

leaden prairie
#

and 99% of people werent even doing thatr, just checking a sheet

#

or lorgio

#

or whatever

tribal blade
#

but i think it's still universally accepted as one of the hardest rotations

#

"nuclear difficulty" as yoda put it

void hound
#

i disagree

keen dome
#

Extremely easy to mess up, and if you did mess up, you couldn't realistically recover.

void hound
#

maybe as a baseline, sure

#

but when talking about min maxing

#

current sub is head and shoulders above

tribal blade
#

nah i don't think so

#

but it did shift the focus on what we track now

#

i think sub is still not simple

#

for sure

leaden prairie
#

sub is always the easiest spec in the game CAUGHT

void hound
#

so true, just shadow dance lol

keen dome
#

glow purple, destroy boss

tribal blade
#

it's just crazy to me that everyone was losing their minds over dust sub

#

and now that it's gone you guys in here saying it was easy

void hound
leaden prairie
void hound
leaden prairie
#

i tought dust was piss free on progress

void hound
#

(except for smold)

leaden prairie
#

it was just mega annoying on reclears when timing changed every week

keen dome
#

I think the reason Sub is seen as really difficult back then is you have no room for mistakes, and it has a big learning curve. Min/maxing is something else entirely imo, too. But like for most people the baseline spec stuff was a lot and one error and poof, damage gone.

void hound
#

you never had to think about sec tec or symbols, now you do
and there isnt one sheet solution for every boss

leaden prairie
#

but it wasnt even hard, just had to think about it for more than 10s

#

on god

keen dome
#

Whereas modern Sub today is a lot easier as a baseline, it's simpler to understand and play and errors aren't as punishing. But all the weird little things you need to do to really push that damage up make it waaaay more complex.

void hound
#

i only yesterday discovered you can sneak in an extra sec tec on ansurek p1 if you lust on pull

tribal blade
#

yeah sub right now still creates quite a bit of complexity for the average wow player it seems

#

i did a weekly mists a few weeks ago and there was a guy talking about how he couldn't get his sub rogue to do damage

#

and then i did 2.5m overall

#

and they were so confused

keen dome
#

I had one in a pug raid I ran where he did like.. 460k DPS on Court?

void hound
#

it doesnt help that only giga sweatlords play sub right now
so many good players i know only parse green because of it

tribal blade
keen dome
#

If you don't know to sync stuff up, and don't know how to properly leverage your big buttons, you do no damage.

keen dome
tribal blade
#

that's for sure

void hound
#

yeah

keen dome
#

I'm sad I lost my rank 69 bloodbound parse. It was perfect.

tribal blade
#

even if i play out of my mind on bosses i'm still purple parsing

void hound
#

although i gotta say

tribal blade
#

when i was expecting an orange

void hound
#

lots of top logs out there, which play imperfect timings

#

unfortunately RNG can carry you really hard currently

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

rng and timings

#

kill timings are so important for sub atm

#

you can see it on wipes

void hound
#

well less so for the later bosses

#

but yeah

tribal blade
#

wipe on a boss right before your cds are coming up you're low on details

#

wipe on a boss right after a cd set you're on top

keen dome
#

Ye

tribal blade
#

it's crzy

void hound
#

we killed ansurek a bit too fast last night, missed out on the big cold blood sec tec on the last little spider boys

#

unluck

keen dome
#

rip

void hound
#

at least on ansurek and silken you cant get fucked by mechanics

#

(aside from bad portal timings i guess)

keen dome
#

I hit my firsy 6m+ burst on Court last night (Heroic, though) which felt good. Just absolutely monstering the bosses.

void hound
#

silken court is fun

keen dome
#

I love it

void hound
#

although thats the boss i struggled most with this tier

keen dome
#

I did manage to find a tank on Wednesday who decided the best way to tank them was seperate, though.

void hound
#

nah thats cooked

keen dome
#

And most of those parses are probably in here posting, haha

void hound
#

real

leaden prairie
#

nice

tribal blade
#

mental becomes better once you stop chasing parses

#

and just care about killing bosses

void hound
#

well

keen dome
#

A kill is a kill, esp a first kill.

void hound
#

with proper execution and ethical gameplay you can pretty much always parse purple

keen dome
#

And then it's comedy funtimes.

hollow spear
#

You notice that Sub is played mostly by the die hard spec enjoyers

#

On Sin, it's relatively easy to get orange parses

#

On Sub, you have to have good fight timings and still sweat through the entire fight 😄

rocky ocean
keen dome
#

Hahaha

hollow spear
#

Sectec now teleports you to your target if you are standing further than 3 yards away.

tribal blade
#

i feel sorry for all the sub rogues who missed out on every single strike tping you to your target

#

now THAT was podracing

#

and a lot of dying to stuff

void hound
#

i feel sorry for all sub rogues who happen to to press coup at the apex of the ansurek jump only to come down crashing like they were using death from above

coarse nexus
#

striking the worm boss in shadow moon is a core memory of mine

keen dome
#

I have fond memoeries of a wipe on Razageth 'cos another Sub strike'd the boss in the final phase with the bomb on them.

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Bring it back..

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

dismounting someone and falling with them in unison only to land clean as they go splat.

keen dome
#

Yeeting myself towards the raid instance by dismounting was a lot of fun

hollow spear
#

min-maxy question: if you go into symbols outside of flag and you have coup up, do you coup or sectec first (if you'll have sectec up for your next burst window)?

#

Probably doesn't matter, but it just happened and I wondered.

short radish
#

but TWW dust sub was okay

#

i liked that functionality

worn cape
#

Do you still use Vanish on cd for dps or save it for mechanics?

short radish
#

Once for opener, then save for mechanics

#

The little dps you gain is offset by its utility

worn cape
#

Right, thanks!

vale pine
#

i did like the flexibility of dust

#

it just added a lot of complexity, so i am okay with what they did

#

the main problem now is the reliance on good trinkets

rocky ocean
#

how can they fix it?

random mason
#

move power from trinkets into the base kit

plush roost
#

MonkaS

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

having to stand in melee range or else dying to the beam

#

i remember that so well on trilliax

plush roost
#

It made me better at the game

#

My uptime went way up!

#

(for fear of dying)

tribal blade
#

i loved sub during legion

alpine wraith
#

dust was kinda cool if you knew that optimal performance was not the goal sometimes

#

being able to crank when needed

tribal blade
#

foreseeing needing cds in a key and then planning ahead of time and banking vanish charges

plush roost
#

Dust on prog HOLY

Dust on parse F_

tribal blade
#

maybe it's because i have smol brain and not galaxy brain

#

but dust squeezed my tiny brain for all it was worth

keen dome
#

I prefer Sub how it is now but I came to like Dust in S1 of TWW. But S1 of TWW sucked fo rother reasons lmao

tribal blade
#

dust was also horrible if you are terrible at math like me

keen dome
#

1Dust Brew though. Now that was the goat

plush roost
#

I have to thank hachadino for cooking up THE ROTTEN in df season 2. Made me wrap my head around dust before it was cool

tribal blade
plush roost
#

Was it ever good idk i never parse well. But it was a great break from "i spam gloomblade"

keen dome
#

Same and without this discord I wouldn't have.

tribal blade
#

gloomblade doing damage

#

i remember those days

fallow nimbus
#

Dust in farm/hc boosts was goated if you knew how to pull cds

plush roost
#

I kinda wish there was a viable lingering shadows build

#

But then again, that scares me

#

I also wish we had seal fate again

#

Crit being a good stat felt right on sub to me idk

keen dome
#

Same.

#

I liked Crit/Mastery stacking

plush roost
#

Always super hype to gloomblade twice and already be at 6cp from sht procs

#

Who am i kidding tho, shadowcraft is the best thing to happen to this class

tribal blade
#

a lot of people didn't like what seal fate did to sub, but i loved it

round latch
#

seal fate was goated idk

#

racoon said it was trash iirc

tribal blade
#

it also fixed sub's cleave issue

#

yeah quite a few people didn't like it

#

to me that was the best CP generation sub has had in a while

#

you had a constant flow of decent CPs always

#

it felt good

#

but it also caused sub to have quite a flat damage profile, another thing people didn't like

round latch
#

cant imagine anything good enough as seal fate,across all rogue specs

#

loved it,still do

vestal escarp
#

Anyway we got craft for seal fate

#

So all good

tribal blade
#

i phrased that badly, it was part of the reason at least

#

haha yeah, craft that hyper pushes all the CPs into symbols

vestal escarp
#

The flatness came from dancing every 25s period, not speccing into flag and aberrus tierset + lingering giving good damage outside dance

lilac stag
round latch
lilac stag
#

carry on with delulu feelsloveman

sullen hare
#

I don't exactly miss being a gloomblade spam gamer

lilac stag
#

Why would you miss spamming backstab?

#

Just play classic at that point

void hound
#

seal of fate sucks

#

backstab/gloomblade doing damage sucks

sullen hare
#

I think my biggest problem with the spec right now is that it feels like they have to take one or two things back if they give us one good thing

#

revert the duration change to shadowblades and I'll be (mostly) happy

#

having to put it at the end of the opener is cursed

swift tinsel
#

or shorten flag and buff the mastery

#

and/or its damage

lilac stag
#

Blend blades into dance and delete the ability. Give flag 2 charges.

#

adjust whatever cd length you need to. Remove cdr

uneven scarab
#

Rework tornado to be an actual damage ability

#

instead of the trash it is rn

lilac stag
#

delete it

uneven scarab
#

while ur at it

swift tinsel
#

and also rework tree pathing and almost everything else about it

uneven scarab
#

Tornado makes ur next sectech cast twice poggers

#

Ultimate nuke

swift tinsel
#

2nd sectech + max flag + flawless stacks + double cast = orbital strike

#

with CB

fallow nimbus
#

Tornado should replicate the next 4 finisher

uneven scarab
#

Literally an ion cannon

fallow nimbus
#

Instant dmg finisher

swift tinsel
#

tornado turns any on-use into a 1.5min cd

uneven scarab
#

LMAO

swift tinsel
#

so we aren't stuck with what's coming in s2

lilac stag
#

Just keep it simple. Aoe rupture spread

swift tinsel
#

or lack of what's coming

lilac stag
#

but imagine rogue, specifically sub getting looked at

uneven scarab
#

id like to see more interactions with fw tbh

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

I'd like to see fw either deleted or made better in any way

uneven scarab
#

To me its just there and like

#

You pay 0 attention to it

swift tinsel
#

Its like worse Mark of the Crane for windwalkers and I'm jealous theirs is getting deleted in 11.1

#

bc you need it for shadowed finishers

#

but it isn't even interesting

#

in st it doesn't exist bc its always there, in aoe you gotta do the janky 2nd rotten storm thing

uneven scarab
#

Its a mess in aoe

#

and yeah its nonexistent in st

#

It just feels pointless

#

Its just there

lilac stag
#

FW is pointless

swift tinsel
#

Agreed, I'd like it better if it did something impactful for one or the other so they can make the interaction deeper

lilac stag
#

flavor my ass

swift tinsel
#

instead of having it for both and it ends up like it is currently

uneven scarab
#

Make it give cdr or something when you hit a target with fw idk

swift tinsel
#

or double your cdr

lilac stag
#

Fuck that. Delete cdr

uneven scarab
#

Ideally yeah

swift tinsel
#

I'd be okay with that too

#

uptime-driven stuff is cursed

uneven scarab
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

because you can get giga fucked for no fault of your own

uneven scarab
#

Love my dance being 10 seconds delayed of where i expect it to

#

cuz boss dashed across the arena and i couldnt hit him

lilac stag
#

adding a second flag would give us flexibility. Not necessarily tie us into a 90 sec trinket and could just get rid of all cdr

swift tinsel
#

had sikrans where I got 3 charges and 2 deleters and basically afk'd

lilac stag
#

people like having charges.

#

Peasants are happy

uneven scarab
#

massive opener lust burst HOLY

#

I do like charges of things

swift tinsel
#

Charges are great

#

100%

lilac stag
#

you’d likely need some type of throttle to not just hit it twice

uneven scarab
#

I more meant back to back

lilac stag
#

sure

swift tinsel
#

built in csq

#

imagine if both flags could stack if you double hit

uneven scarab
#

Speaking of that i just remembered the triple sectech opener

#

Miss her

swift tinsel
#

so yo ucould either send an ion cannon or flex it

uneven scarab
#

Cant wait for a damage amp boss to show up and we just press all cd’s on one part of a fight and afk the entire rest of it 💀

rocky ocean
#

Im simming 639 transmitter and it tilts me so much that its gonna be bis s2 and Im probably not going to get it

uneven scarab
#

Its 100% gonna be nerfed next season

split jay
#

yk what i noticed?

#

rogue players

#

have the biggest mucles

uneven scarab
#

And of course they’ll take the time to nerf it but wont take the time to make a 90s agi trinket

uneven scarab
split jay
#

poopstalker u give me 4 inch vibes

#

❤️

uneven scarab
#

I was gonna say big daggers

#

But yeah that too

split jay
#

its not the size of the wave, but the motion of the ocean

uneven scarab
#

Absolutely

hollow pawn
#

Quick question, I’m simming like 600k more than i average overall in dungeon slice. Do I just suck or is that normal?

swift tinsel
#

without logs its hard to say

warm marlin
#

Dslice is not really representative for actual key overalls

#

That sort of thing will depend hugely on dungeon/route/other dps/raid buffs/deaths etc

viral girder
#

let sub rogues use fist weapons you cowards. #blizzard

#

And im not saying that to use the steam punk fist weapons.... Totally not

#

(I am)

keen dome
#

Letting us use a fist OH would be nice.

#

We can totally equip them, we just can't ever realistically use them, which is sad.

viral girder
#

Wasnt there some shit in dragonflight where we would use a dagger main hand t make use of dagger skills but off hand wise we used a sword for better damage and stat prios?

keen dome
#

I don't believe so, no.

#

!OH

wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

viral girder
#

I remember there being something like that due to stat weights on the pvp weapons at the least.

#

Maybe less relevant in PvE

alpine wraith
#

last time we used slow off hands was in bfa

summer mica
#

really curious what they are cooking for season 2 - sub def needs muuuuuch love

alpine wraith
#

because folly and ra den first wep were kinda op

molten citrus
alpine wraith
#

likely they are cooking nothing

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

yea just in line with crimson vial pickpocket things

uneven scarab
#

One day maybe

silent ruin
#

Is it normal for flawless form to drop off for sometime during st rotation

alpine wraith
#

yes

silent ruin
#

Ok thanks

uneven scarab
#

yeah outside of cd’s it drops

#

cuz ur chances are quite low

sick jackal
#

christmas is officially over right?

#

we should expect changes this week

tulip gorge
#

More like next week

silent ruin
#

Changes to sub?

keen dome
#

Christmas isn't over until the raid bosses stop wearing christmas hats

sick jackal
twilit phoenix
#

Changes this late into the season?

#

What are they gonna change

sick jackal
#

for next season

#

lets say development notes

silent ruin
#

Is trickster or stalker better for mythic court

uneven scarab
#

trickster iirc

silent ruin
#

Also, is there some bug when coup de Grace doesn't cast, instead it does old slice n dice animation n combo points are lost for literally nothing

formal helm
#

Sub getting changes?

#

Mby they buff bp again.

alpine wraith
silent ruin
idle aurora
keen dome
#

Well, it'd be cool if they could fix the laundry list of bugs. And some of the big issues with the tree. Also coup's charge.. And all of Deathstalker

#

Also poison toggle

idle aurora
#

Sure then you get to see we fixed this bug and in returned lowered dps to compensate 😄

#

But yeah I’m all for bug fixes

swift tinsel
#

That's my biggest gripe with sub atm

#

besides blizz trying to shoehorn us into DS

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Yeah, which feels awful

vale pine
#

DS suffers from cdr problems, it is why trickster is in general more fun to play

#

outside of that, we have a lot of mediocre or bad talents

swift tinsel
#

I exclusively play trickster because it feels very fun

#

but agreed, many talents are either weak, badly designed, or their intended interactions are bugged

#

and pathing is odd in some places

lilac stag
#

Odd? We have like one, maybe two viable paths. Surebud

swift tinsel
#

The whole thing has felt more or less abandoned besides swapping dust with perception

#

since 10.2

lilac stag
#

well supercharger made the spec playable

#

there’s just way too many minor and major issues for it to be as good as it really could be

#

ie more than 30 people want to play it

novel plaza
#

did they change something with the first boss of mythic? i did 2.1m dmg but the logs show a grey parse....

warm marlin
#

the adds do not count

novel plaza
#

when di they chnge that o.O

warm marlin
#

.7?

#

i think

#

or just after

hollow spear
#

Ever since they made that change, adds take surprisingly long to die 😛

#

Before the change they got instagibbed

novel plaza
#

thatz so lameee

#

do adds on rash count too or no?

jaunty umbra
#

no

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

I more so mean the entire rest of the spec tree

#

there's been quite a few pain points with it that haven't been addressed since the 10.2 rework

#

and before that

vale pine
#

many of the talents ended up already bad/outdated in the very first iteration of the tree

#

it just happens that the dev team felt diffrently and found other specs/classes more in need of attention/change

swift tinsel
#

Right, which is why it feels abandoned

#

because it was only partially iterated on before attention was given elsewhere

vale pine
#

i think there was attention given to it

#

but

swift tinsel
#

and the followup has been very piecemeal; supercharger + death perception was a good change, but there's still alot of work to be done

vale pine
#

the problem was so many bugs

#

so rather than trying to make sub good, bugfixes took priority

#

on top of that, the attention was shared between assassiantion and subtlety

#

and comparing how many talents got changes/iterations, you can argue sub wasn't that much of a focus

swift tinsel
#

precisely

vale pine
#

but i am not complaining, as mentioned sub is fun

#

which is probably more than you can ask for

#

also if i would look at rogue atm

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I'm not saying sub isn't fun. Just that my biggest gripe has been bugs that are still around

vale pine
#

i would rly want to rework killing spree

swift tinsel
#

and how those bugs affect the tree

vale pine
#

the spell is core to one of the hero talents and so outdated i am still surprised it unchanged

swift tinsel
#

Meanwhile pack leader for hunter is getting its third rework

#

dark ranger another update

#

priest healing specs

#

shaman updates

#

it's hard not to feel ignored

vale pine
#

I think play rate palys a central factor

swift tinsel
#

Oh for sure

#

hence why paladin gets new toys constantly

#

(ignoring blizz's beef with holy paladin)

vale pine
#

it makes sense why assassiantion was intentionally tuned so high

#

and why it recived so many talent updates comparably

#

at least it is my theory

#

subtlety seems to be seen as "good enough" to keep in the current state

swift tinsel
#

That makes sense though, if sub got that kind of tuning and influx of players I'd assume we'd see a bit more dev time

#

More eyes on the spec

#

Sub pops up on the Wowhead weekly raid charts and folks don't question much

vale pine
#

sub is now tuned rly good

swift tinsel
#

I'd argue its the barrier for entry vs sin

vale pine
#

so nothing to complain, being in the position of doing good damage is not the time to get feedback heard

swift tinsel
#

bc sub is seen as way more difficult to pick up

vale pine
#

for what its worth, i hope we see more changes in 11.1

#

but i don't rly know if we do, e.g. the tier set is only rly remotely interssting on sub

swift tinsel
#

Even if they just give a prospectus on how they feel sub is doing currently and if they have any future plans

#

like they have for a lot of other specs

vale pine
#

and this probably means the dev focus will be on tier set rather than the specs

swift tinsel
#

From what I've seen there's a lot of unhappiness around tier sets

vale pine
#

and after that, there might be problems which affect more people on sin/outlaw

swift tinsel
#

which is justifiable imo

#

idk my tinfoil hat hopes for a big set of new patch notes with ptr release

vale pine
#

i mean, it is possible

#

blizz isn't the company where transparence is a high priority

#

so what is in the works is always seemingly super secret

swift tinsel
#

I mean to a point that's true

#

but if you look at the patch notes that came out for 11.1 ptr so far there's sections of why they're making the changes they are or aren't making for some classes/specs

#

even if they said something along the lines of "we're happy with sub's current performance in raid and mythic plus so changes aren't likely to be coming with 11.1" it would make a very big difference in perception

#

instead of the dooming into the void we have now

vale pine
#

it might be that the team/person working on rogue has not finalized changes

swift tinsel
#

Which would be totally fine

#

if that was communicated

#

iirc that kind of thing has been the case previously

#

I'm 100% okay with having information even if its to say "changes incoming, stay tuned"

twilit phoenix
#

“We’re scaling up transmitter item level to the current tier”

swift tinsel
#

If they do I'm quitting lmao

formal helm
#

At least transmitter lines up w/ our cds

#

Iirc there's no 1.5min cd trinket in 11.1?

swift tinsel
#

No stat ones, just damage

formal helm
#

Someone correct me if I'? Wrong

#

I'm*

swift tinsel
#

there's a pair that do a single instance of damage on a 1.5min cd

#

Cleft has a minecart one and I think priory has another?

#

wait meadery

#

its a bee bomb I think

formal helm
#

Isn't the priory the one with that trinket that gives stats too?
But I think that one's 2 or 3 mins

swift tinsel
#

That's 2min

formal helm
#

Yes that

swift tinsel
#

Cinderbrew and Cleft have 1.5min on-use but they just do damage once

formal helm
swift tinsel
#

Same

#

mandate is interesting to a degree bc you can snipe with it

#

but if its just like Dreadfire Vessel again I'm not excited

#

I like when I do my damage

vale pine
#

I don't rly like to set expectations high, we had too high ones for 10.2 and further when what we got ended up mostly small changes and often changes which did not improve the status quo

swift tinsel
#

Oh my expectations are subterranean at this point

#

My only real hope atm is that the stacking damage from the tier set is a rate that makes it not feel awful if you get reset going into cd's

#

or encourages degenerate finisher gameplay loops to preserve it

vale pine
#

i hope realz or whoever is in charges of change is willing to discuss things

swift tinsel
#

100%

#

it was very, very nice when he would pop in here and discuss

#

He's been in Fel Hammer lately

#

here and there

vale pine
#

but he kinda did not do that since Dragonflight, so chances are fairly low

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I'm not holding out much hope

formal helm
#

Yeah that tier set looks stinky

#

Fuck that

vale pine
#

but again, the latest changes ended up positive

#

the gameplay loop atm is fine even with some problems

formal helm
#

I mean somewhat, yeah

#

Doesn't feel awful to play at least

swift tinsel
#

I think current trickster basic gameplay loop is very good, arguably one of the best feeling dps specs while in cooldowns

#

and I'm perfectly fine with having high peaks and low valleys

#

Having the bit of flexibility we do in the absence of dust makes the spec feel good, as good as it could without dust

#

I do miss triple sectech though

vale pine
#

wdym you miss sectech

swift tinsel
#

being able to triple sectech as trickster

vale pine
#

oh ye

#

dust was interessting, i wish we kept it in some form

swift tinsel
#

Same, I was a fan

vale pine
#

but the current baseline is a lot easier to understand, and the game moves towards that

swift tinsel
#

For sure, no boss-specific spreadsheets needed for new players

formal helm
#

Yeh
But dust was fun to play

vale pine
#

it was, but also hard

formal helm
#

I mean yeah

#

But still...made up for a really interesting and fun gameplay

vale pine
#

the design goal is simplicity it seems, so dust is a problem and it made sense to just remove it instead of keeping it in a form

#

the game as is has too much complexity thats not needed

#

dust was not one of it, but still a problem

open vortex
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
pliant topaz
#

Like 1.5 min cloak vs 2 etc etc

vale pine
#

i did like the idea of compressing cooldowns into a short window

#

not only defensives

#

i still think the current version of sub is unique enough to stand out

#

on a diffrent note, i wonder how many rogues farmed or bought the new glyph

twilit phoenix
#

the animation for that is so sick

vale pine
#

my gf farmed the recipie on her rogue, its a shame its only lootable with the right profession

random mason
twilit phoenix
#

gives it like an "azerite" flash/glow

twilit phoenix
vale pine
lilac stag
#

Does the rogue need to farm it, or is it just a pattern

random mason
#

you can just throw up a work order

lilac stag

I’ve got a scribe so I’d just farm it
