No I think it was the one from the James Bond one

wind canopy

pliant topaz
pliant topaz
#

I tried buying a real one, and it was so much work I don’t think I’m gonna get one anymore

swift tinsel
pliant topaz
#

That’s good I guess. I have some ideas now how to optimize it. I was worried rppm would be lower

pliant topaz
#

Nah clearly not baller enough

#

went in and asked for the one I wanted they said they’re out even though I’m sure they weren’t

hybrid prism
#

from a retailer new

pliant topaz
#

yeah maybe

hybrid prism
#

not maybe, they do

#

you can buy one from an aftermarket vendor though

strange chasm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
pliant topaz
#

Ill look into it more again later maybe, ill probably get one by the end of this year

molten citrus

lmao

alpine wraith
#

we actually have 4 rolex and mostly it is because they make numbered batches of x model

#

so sometimes they dont have some

#

but you can backorder

@pliant topaz fuck Rolex go for the Jacob & Co Casino Tourbillon

#

My dream watch

vale pine
#

true gansters go for aldidas ^^

rough rivet
#

@vale pine remember removing eleems tc writeup link off your pin? its still in the sub faq. just letting you know in case you want to remove it there as well

tribal blade
#

just found out apparently sin is completely busted in pvp atm

molten citrus
tribal blade
molten citrus
#

venruki especially is always spreading libel towards rogues

#

been nerfed time after time yet he'll continue to say rogue is broken in pvp

tribal blade
#

goddamn mages

#

this is how little i've been paying attention to pvp recently

molten citrus
#

sin is good, but outlaw is considered better in 3s in most cases

tribal blade
#

mmm interesting

#

is it because outlaw doesn't sacrifice cleave for ST

#

or just outlaw tankier and more dam

molten citrus
#

not really, it isn't even about dmg

#

outlaw just has cdr and is kinda tanky

tribal blade
#

like outlaw prob has 100% uptime on feint

molten citrus
#

sin does the most dmg out of the rogue specs, but it's nothing 'broken' or unhealable by a regular good healer

tribal blade
#

gotcha

#

bro i feel like they gotta do something about feint on outlaw

#

100% uptime is ridiculous

#

having 20% dr rolling 24/7 kinda batty

molten citrus
#

we're also getting a new pvp talent that buffs feint's DR during stuns

#

but they're removing veil of midnight and shadowy duel

tribal blade
keen dome
#

This is a crime.

#

How dare they take the best pvp talent away from me

tribal blade
#

shadowy duel is a huge loss for sub in pvp

keen dome
#

It's such a fun button.

#

What are they dooooing

molten citrus
#

i can understand it from a gameplay health standpoint

tribal blade
#

i think it was inevitable, people have been up in arms about sub's cc capabilities for a LONG time

molten citrus
#

i'm just very tired of them removing things and not compensating rogue whatsoever

keen dome
molten citrus
#

sub is in a bad state rn even WITH duel

tribal blade
#

in pvp

keen dome
#

haha

molten citrus
#

it's not BAD, but it's not good either

keen dome
#

Also depressing to hear. I still need to try and push to 1.8k for the set

#

But I got super lazy at bothering.

molten citrus
#

1.8k is insanely ez

tribal blade
#

i imagine sub lost a decent chunk with the removal of dust too

keen dome
#

I'm sure it is but I am really bad at pvp.

molten citrus
#

if you know how to press stuns and do your dmg rotation

#

all you need to do is press the queue button fr

keen dome
#

I'm hoping my medicore skillset and general knowledge will carry me, yeah

tribal blade
#

you can actually get pretty far in arena by just using the bum rush strat

keen dome
#

I just hope the inflation helps.

tribal blade
#

just play super aggressive

#

at the start

#

and panic kill the opposing team

keen dome
molten citrus
keen dome
#

DH zooming over and behind the pillar because he say me in stealth: HE DEAD NOW.

#

blam blam

molten citrus
#

as sub i like to open with just a subterfuge window

#

to see if it baits anything

#

then use flag/blades/kidney etc

keen dome
#

Oh that's smart

tribal blade
#

nothing worse feeling than popping everything straight into an immunity

keen dome
#

Letting subtefuge fall off to see if they think it's a dance or something?

molten citrus
#

sometimes at low rating people just waste stuff the moment you open

#

like stunning you or using a defensive

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Trinketing out of a sap

molten citrus
#

getting cc'd during flag/blades sucks

tribal blade
#

are you playing DS or trickster as sub in pvp

keen dome
#

Nothing will top the shuffle I had where a warrior flamed me when he was on my team, and then the next round he was against me. Then I killed him in 6 seconds and he ragequit the lobby.

tribal blade
#

makes sense

molten citrus
#

trickster is viable

#

but DS is more burst really

#

our big dmg rn is evis

tribal blade
#

DS gives you a lot of passive damage too

molten citrus
#

you can press rupture as your first finisher before flag

#

to line up finality with darkest night

#

for max evis

keen dome
#

Makes sense, that's really helpful

tribal blade
#

omg playing around finality and DN

keen dome
#

At least it makes sense in pvp where the BIG HIT is gonna be monsterous

molten citrus
#

symbolic victory and forced induction as well

#

sub's got pretty decent burst

tribal blade
#

glad to hear symbolic victory is seeing some use

molten citrus
#

against good players can't really get a kill without duel though, at least in the opener

#

even then some classes can deal with duel

#

like pally or dh

tribal blade
#

sub might fall off hard after losing duel

#

sad to hear

keen dome
#

I just want the 1.8k set so I have all the etheral colours..

molten citrus
#

If they compensate with some damage buffs it’ll be fine I think

#

It needs sustain dmg bad

keen dome
#

I loved Shadowy Duel in RBG's, though. So much fun hitting it when a healer is about to drop their biggest buttton.

#

And then blam, it's in the shadow realm

lilac stag
#

That and old vendetta base defending.

tribal blade
#

dealing with sub rogues can be kinda simple from what it sounds like, you literally just cc/defensive during dances

#

and you're fine

#

i saw some pvpers running WAs that scream whenever dance is popped

keen dome
#

Damn

tribal blade
#

sub's damage outside cds is hilarious

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Ticklestab

lilac stag
#

yeah pvp’s finally realized WAs are useful

keen dome
#

Haha

tribal blade
#

absterge is running SO MANY was

#

all over his screen

keen dome
#

I wish Batleground Blitz wasn't so infurating because I really enjoy Rogue in RBG's. RBG's just feel way more fun to play

tribal blade
#

back when i pvped i did mostly rbgs

#

as my serious pvp content

molten citrus
tribal blade
#

it must make arena infuriating now

#

you pop a cd and instantly get cc'd

lilac stag
#

I loved solo defending calling for backups. You could do so much carnage to one of two people trying to sort out where you were and then stealth hitting vendetta preventing any cap

tribal blade
#

i agree rogue was so much fun running solo missions in rbgs

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's was a lot of fun when I played earlier this season. Sitting the cap point on the gilneas map and just wasting so much time when the enemy came over to try and cap

#

At one point having 3 peoplet rying to cap and just being an absolute menance

tribal blade
#

i feel like the full scope of the rogue concept is realized in pvp

#

in pve not really

#

it's halfway there

lilac stag
keen dome
#

The ultimate annoying gremlin class.

tribal blade
#

the entire rogue toolkit is incredible in pvp

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

and all equally useful

#

in pve we have a bunch of stuff that becomes borderline useless to straight up useless

molten citrus
tribal blade
lilac stag
tribal blade
keen dome
#

haha

tribal blade
#

yeah there is a big disconnect between rogues in pvp and pve

molten citrus
#

The entire player base hates rogue because they are bad at the game

keen dome
#

Oh man. Shadowy Duel as a PvE burst button. You lock enemies with the mob. Enter a shadowy arena and in eight seconds it dies. Like a turbo massive dance window

molten citrus
lilac stag
#

Like maybe one more braincell needed than ret

molten citrus
#

Is it though

tribal blade
#

bring back smokebomb for pve, maybe not create los, but something similar

keen dome
#

oh yeah, smokebomb

molten citrus
#

Compared to a warrior or ret idk

tribal blade
#

i miss having smokebomb

keen dome
#

Smokebomb would be really nice in M+, in my opinon. Just making mobs run into melee with the group

#

Esp with the kick change

tribal blade
#

they won't put it back in the game as los i don't think

keen dome
#

Nah

tribal blade
#

it created too many problems

keen dome
#

I mean it could work as a defensive for the group like Darkness too

lilac stag
#

Warrior has survival issues in pve, well where most struggle.

keen dome
#

Just make it reduce cast damage

tribal blade
#

something like that yeah

#

or even you make the spell hit chance of everything in the smoke bomb reduced by a number

lilac stag
#

Ret is light up. Assa is remember one condition, hit buttons close to in order.

tribal blade
#

imagine popping smokebomb and the hit chance of everything in it got reduced by 50% or something

keen dome
#

And without a Paladin it can be awkward to group them up for melee.

tribal blade
#

rogue just needs a bit more utility in pve

lilac stag
#

Just shroud 4head

keen dome
#

ye, heroism button and a rez

molten citrus
#

i'd love for rogue to get a paladin level rework

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Disarm would be another fun button in pve

tribal blade
#

but rogues getting dev time not a thing

keen dome
#

But I dunno what it'd do

keen dome
molten citrus
#

turn sub into an actual shadow magic something or other

keen dome
#

All about them clones

molten citrus
#

base rogue specs are so bland after 20 years

tribal blade
#

agreed, they should go all in to sub being shadow damage

keen dome
#

Steal the Ninjitsu system from FF14 and give it to Sub

tribal blade
#

just model sub after kyveza

molten citrus
#

i'm leveling Ninja rn

keen dome
#

I love the NIN cast system because of how flexible it is

molten citrus
#

just started poking around ff again a week or so ago

keen dome
#

And being able to just adapt to any pull or situation or movement

molten citrus
#

level 40 so far

keen dome
#

However: doton is dumb

molten citrus
#

heard of it, haven't gotten to it yet

keen dome
#

What if Death and Decay but on a rogue

lilac stag
molten citrus
#

i feel like assa just got some good QoL

#

it's pretty good now

lilac stag
#

Assa can do everything

molten citrus
#

i'm more worried about like

lilac stag
#

and use talents to make choices

molten citrus
#

the actual thematics, animations, etc

lilac stag
#

That is pali rework

molten citrus
#

as opposed to performance

lilac stag
#

We are never getting animations

#

Because rogue

molten citrus
#

SAYS WHO

lilac stag
#

And I hate it

keen dome
#

Kyveza animations when

molten citrus
#

ONE DAY

keen dome
#

Can you do animation replacement mods in WoW like you can in 14.

#

Can I just do it myself

#

I assume not

molten citrus
#

yes

lilac stag
#

they haven’t done shit with rogue animations for YEARS and when they do you you don’t even know is there because you actively avoid the ability from trying to kill you.

molten citrus
#

technically you can yes

#

but no one has authored any sick animation packs i'm pretty positive

#

because it's technically ToS

keen dome
#

Yeah, I imagine so

molten citrus
#

people have used mods like jmorph, tmorph, imorph in wow for a looong time

#

you can choose any existing model in the game files and change your character into it

lilac stag
#

The last good animation rogue got was machine gun on outlaw.

#

And that’s a low fucking bar

molten citrus
#

our thematics are just bland af

#

they're the same as 20 years ago

lilac stag
#

You’re sneaky. Can’t be flashy. OMEGAKEKW …. ~bliz

molten citrus
#

strike->evis->strike->evis->strike->OMG SEC TECH?? so cool......

keen dome
#

Wasn't one of their points about the removal of +range nodes for Melee an animation argument? That it looked silly we were so far from the mob doing melee stuff

#

Which is just. What a silly point

lilac stag
#

when you macro purple fireworks to Sectech so you have some visuals it’s clear what blizzard actually thinks of this class

molten citrus
#

i feel like everything on Ret has nice gold/hammer animations

#

like

keen dome
#

We glow purple when we dance. That's visual

molten citrus
#

they actually get to feel like the main characters

void hound
molten citrus
#

if they did some work to the class

keen dome
#

A hundred people with the posting power of thousands.

molten citrus
#

more people would play it

lilac stag
void hound
#

(im being tongue in cheek)

molten citrus
#

ikik

#

but it's really just a side effect

lilac stag
#

We have poisons, shadows and pirates. Our biggest visual dopamine hit is fucking poison bomb.

molten citrus
#

paladins get loads of changes and updates -> they have a lot of representation

keen dome
#

I've convinced two people to play this spec this expansion. I'm doing my part.

#

Both quit the game but that's neither here nor there.

void hound
#

its a chicken and egg problem that plagues modern day gaming

dev time devoted to proven formulas
vs
dev time devoted to unknown outcomes

molten citrus
#

yeh it just sucks for the few die hards that love the class

void hound
#

even before the rework paladin was way more popular

molten citrus
#

ofc

lilac stag
#

Rogue in pve is only popular when it’s busted

molten citrus
#

easier specs will always be more popular as well

void hound
#

blizzard development resources are already stretched incredibly thin

void hound
#

in 10.2 rogue was incredibly strong and it didnt really impact player numbers

#

we still got mogged by hunters and paladins

lilac stag
#

It wasn’t

void hound
#

huh???

lilac stag
#

That’s not busted

keen dome
lilac stag
#

10.2 it was strong

void hound
#

sub was like the best dps spec for 2 out of 3 of the relevent bosses last year

lilac stag
#

3x outlaw in keys is busted.

#

Words matter

void hound
#

and before sub, it was assa

#

they played two assas in the RWF

lilac stag
#

Best being strong and best being busted are two very different things

molten citrus
#

i remember when surv was busted

#

in late sl

lilac stag
#

Bombs for everyone

molten citrus
#

every raid jumped from 0 to 4 surv hunters

void hound
#

we can quibble about what is busted and what is strong, the point stands
rogue power didnt meaningfully impact the number of people who played rogue

lilac stag
#

Because the power was not do far ahead that it matters

keen dome
lilac stag
#

That’s the actual fucking important part

#

No one plays this class of it’s strong

void hound
#

so youre saying if rogue was another 10 or 20% better all those ret mains would have rolled sub?

lilac stag
#

In keys. Yes

#

It would be meta chasing

keen dome
#

Yeah, I agree.

#

It's like we saw with all those terrible Shadow Priest rerollers in S4.

lilac stag
#

Raiders don’t care as much these days

#

Look at augs

void hound
#

rerolling and and meta chasing is a thing, but you are overestimating the willingness to reroll for the average playerbase

#

ret was popular even when it was bad

lilac stag
#

When did you start playing?

void hound
#

dragonflight, so my history is lacking

lilac stag
#

100

molten citrus
#

i feel like the meta chasing has only gotten 10x worse no?

#

in the past couple expansions

keen dome
void hound
#

yes, but that has more to do with a bleeding playerbase
so you are only left with the sweaty tryhards who havent touched another game in 15 years

molten citrus
#

like for raid you need at least 1 of a lot of classes for buffs etc

#

but m+ meta chasing has gotten a little insane

lilac stag
#

So follow along. Rogue isn’t a popular class. Paladin is.

The only time rogue gets considerably more play is when it’s actually broken and needs a nerf. You can look at outlaw numbers when people were running 2-3 in keys.

void hound
#

dave is not incorrect in saying that meta chasing is prelevant

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Most people (I.e., the average player which is, I'd argue, 95% of the playerbase) is going to pick a class for esoteric and cosmetic reasons. But a lot of the endgame playerbase will metachase which massively skews population of a class.

lilac stag
#

We only track numbers for mythic parses and keys

#

That’s all that matters for higher end

keen dome
#

Yeah, I think that's why the conversation needs to focus on the latter part, not the former. And why I completely agree with you, Scath.

keen dome
#

'Cos I know an absolute ton of people who play rogue... for roleplay and don't touch end-game at all.

lilac stag
#

Yup

#

Yar har I’m a pirate. Here’s my mog.

keen dome
#

Rogue is an extremely popular class for roleplayers on Argent Dawn, it's fascinating.

#

But I'd say an absolute minority of them touch end-game content.

lilac stag
#

And that’s fine. It doesn’t change the fact this is a dead class in high end pve and it’s been like that forever.

keen dome
#

Yeah, absolutely.

#

It's just to reinforce the point of focusing on the end-game population who do that content, which means ignoring the collective whole of the playerbase, 'cos otherwise it's just.. skewed weirdly.

lilac stag
#

Zul was probably last time sub was giga busted

keen dome
#

And we know how that ended......

lilac stag
#

Teaching 3-4 raiders how to main a rogue for one fight

#

because a AH blue geared rogue did more dps than mythic geared locks and mages.

keen dome
#

It was so frustrating how they just slammed that change with no testing or thought.

#

And then had to nerf the fight later.

#

Well, "no thought" is absolutely unfair, but it felt that way at the time.

lilac stag
#

Only time rogue really wasn’t worth bringing At least one to in mythic was what, nathria when all three were undercooked

#

maybe missing a raid

keen dome
#

Nathria was really painful and I went outlaw for it. And then quit.

lilac stag
#

Assa got fixed and was good , but took time

molten citrus
#

i started playing again not long before sin got buffed so i just swapped

lilac stag
#

sub had one small niche fight use for shield break

molten citrus
#

i had started heroic/m+ as outlaw

#

rogue was nice in SoD

#

also decent in jailer raid, except a couple fights

lilac stag
#

The gems

#

What was it frost assa. That slapped

molten citrus
#

yer

keen dome
#

Went through the entire of Nathria without ever getting a Heroic weapon. not one drop, not one vault. Nothing, nada. Multiple people who could get the token from council and it never ever dropped. Raided every single week.

molten citrus
#

yeah i don't think i ever got a helm either

#

i still have to go back and farm the mythic helm

keen dome
#

The absolute worst the game has ever been imo. And then I quit with Sanctm and came back in DF.

lilac stag
#

to get back to where we started. I’d kill for actual animations

keen dome
#

Sameeee

molten citrus
#

yeah

keen dome
#

There's honestly so many good rogue-esque animations in the game they could just adapt. Kyveza is the obvious one.

lilac stag
#

I started gearing arms warrior. Forgot how satisfying it is to play just based on visuals

keen dome
#

But what about Lillian in whats it called.

molten citrus
#

i feel like if the class' thematics and animations were modernized, it would bring a lot of players to it

keen dome
#

I agree.

lilac stag
#

We had amazing audio effects and those are all gone

keen dome
#

Most people pick a class based on three things: Vibes, visuals, and versatility

molten citrus
#

look at reaper or darknight in FF14

keen dome
#

Viper

#

God, Viper is so cool

molten citrus
#

adapt that into rogue animations

keen dome
#

Two swords that become a glavie

keen dome
#

Let us connect our daggers during dance

lilac stag
#

I think outlaw has the best chance to get fun animations.

#

and/or gunslinger

molten citrus
#

outlaw goes in the fire

#

shh

#

i bet

#

that they'll make a whole new class

lilac stag
#

Nah

molten citrus
#

that's like tinker/gunslinger/etc

#

before we get a thing

keen dome
#

I'm firmly of the belief that we're never getting another class.

#

I think at most it's going to be new specs.

lilac stag
#

Gunslinger will be a spec

#

Tinker a class

keen dome
#

Tinker could just be a hunter spec I dunno

molten citrus
#

i'm pretty positive we'll get a new class next expansion

#

bookmark these words

lilac stag
#

Nope

keen dome
#

I will bet you 5 gold we don't.

lilac stag
#

After housing

#

Not with it

keen dome
#

New class: Interior Decorator

molten citrus
#

we'll see in a year and a half BatChesting

keen dome
#

I would, personally, prefer more variety of specs (No more mono DPS classes) than a new class.

#

Shaman tank, Warlock tank, Mage Healer, Hunter... tank. Rog.. Rogue tank.

lilac stag
#

Mid range rogue spec would be fire

hollow spear
#

Rogue heal

keen dome
#

DH Ranged spec

lilac stag
#

Delete sub for this and I’m ok

keen dome
#

Evoker tank

hollow spear
#

Stealing bandages from actual healers and using them on other players

molten citrus
#

i've been saying outlaw should be a gun only mid range spec

#

for a while

keen dome
#

Red Mage imo

#

But with finnese.

#

Basically a ranged spec that does it's big finishers in melee.

lilac stag
#

I think outlaw hits the sword slinger

molten citrus
#

that just sounds so bad for wow mechanics

hollow spear
#

What is mid range?

molten citrus
lilac stag
#

Ret is range

keen dome
#

it'd be cool

lilac stag
#

Evoker is mid

hollow spear
#

I thought that was long range 😅

molten citrus
#

actual ranged is like hunter/mage

#

30-40 yard shit

hollow spear
#

Isn't ret also 30?

lilac stag
#

Ye

#

lol

molten citrus
#

they also have to auto attack n shit tho ya?

lilac stag
#

At some point sure

keen dome
#

Haha

#

But like - I think a single (or three or so) new specs would be easier to build up than an entire new class 'cos you can adjust and adapt stuff from existing areas. Warlock tank that pilots a huge voidwalker mech

lilac stag
#

I’d be more excited for adding fleshed out specs to some of the lesser played classes than a new class

keen dome
#

Yeah, agreed too.

#

As with anything in WoW: More work towards a strong foundation than building on top of it.

lilac stag
#

I think it’s a better use of dev resources as well

molten citrus
#

I mean I agree

#

I just don’t think it’ll happen

keen dome
#

Yeah, it doesn't really sell the expansion

lilac stag
#

why?

molten citrus
#

Because it’s wow

keen dome
#

Although I think Housing will probably make Midnight one of their biggest selling expansions ever.

lilac stag
#

You do house and add specs

keen dome
#

yeah

lilac stag
#

Then you add a class

molten citrus
#

A new class is a selling point

lilac stag
#

And maybe a new race

keen dome
#

We're getting Hannar this expansion for sure

lilac stag
#

You don’t need a selling point until after houses

keen dome
#

I'm betting Etherals in Midnight

lilac stag
#

People are going to buy that up faster than the AH mount

keen dome
#

Yeah

lilac stag
#

assuming it’s no total trash

molten citrus
#

That stupid leak

keen dome
#

Housing is one of the single most requested additions to WoW, imo.

molten citrus
#

Has me convinced

keen dome
#

Which leak?

lilac stag
#

the DE emails?

keen dome
#

Shaman tank leak?

molten citrus
#

The survey emails ye

keen dome
#

Oh yeah

#

I got one of those, it was funny

molten citrus
#

Evoker got leaked, no one believed, guess what we got

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

But like. Thematically. Tinker in midnight

#

Although, like Scath says.. Next expansion. A titan-tech based class in Last titan

molten citrus
#

It doesn’t have to be tinker

keen dome
#

Now that'd fit

#

True

lilac stag
#

I think people just need to not assume new class when some of those clearly have no depth past one when others do. Bard has 3 specs. Support healer dps (we just got that). Tinker (mech user) can do any. Everything else was more singular.

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Maybe they'll fix Agility Daggers someday too..

lilac stag
#

A gunslinger ain’t tanking or healing

molten citrus
#

Ye I mean even if the surveys had any substance you’d think if we were getting a new class in Midnight it’s already be in the pipeline as well

#

So maybe it’d be the following expac

#

But I just get the feeling we’ll def get another class before it’s all said and done

lilac stag
#

New classes need a lot more after the fact with tier and shit

keen dome
#

Another tier set every patch.

lilac stag
#

a new spec? Same visuals.

#

mog wise

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Also can re-use asssets heavily in aniumations

lilac stag
#

They can’t maintain the current classes correctly

#

so when it actually happens, that will be the only expansion feature im guessing

#

I would also kinda laugh a bit if instead of adding specs, they just replaced underplayed/developed specs

keen dome
#

The survival treatment

lilac stag
#

Dagger/Swords/Midrange all rogue themed.

Lock loses a spec for tanking.

Shaman get the Druid treatment and gets a 4th spec.

DH no changes. kekdog
Etc

keen dome

@hazy breach yo man,what keys would u suggest i sub instead of sin(thinking of pushing until 15s,currently 11-12 territory)

Coming from a tier where they basically played 10.2 sub darkbrew

But I think that 15 could be timed as sub in any dung

# dry plank But I think that 15 could be timed as sub in any dung

my overalls prolly would cover any key until like 13-14-ish range,sub or sin,i just wanna know what spec out of those two would be more impactful,like sub on mists that blows up 1st,2nd and the shield on the last boss,or idk sin dmg overall in GB,stuff like that

#

Im pretty much certain Sub does more ST in keys,like i dont even wanna ask that

#

just wanna know what spec overall looks more optimal in certain keys/areas thats all

Assa prob makes LFG easier if that’s a factor

Ye, I mean u can def que ur own keys until 13, some 14s. But then its starting to get horrible with pugging and just frustrating. Had +16 Ara Last week and within Not 2 hours it went down to a +12. I just shutoff my computer in silence, went to bed and watched some anime to calm down. Otherwise I was on the Edge of smashing my computer

#

Maybe that sounds stupid but, i play DS and i was wondering should i press BP or Evis on necromancer packs in NW. Considering we're ethical of course and want to kill the necromancer asap.

#

Because singular focus deals more damage to my marked target i thought maybe BP was actually more ST damage

hazy breach
#

It is

#

BP does almost the same damage as eviscerate by itself anyway as deathstalker

#

(it does like 85% of eviscerates damage on pure ST)

severe prism
#

Cool thanks 😄

strange chasm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
severe prism
#

at what target count BP is more ST then ?

hazy breach
#

Like 3 or 4

severe prism
#

That's a lot lower than i thought it was 😮

hazy breach
#

Effectively you never eviscerate when theres more than 2 targets

#

Without darkest night up

hazy breach
#

Thats what happens when you just buff BP by like 65%

#

Just like if you read nimble flurry you'd assume that its worth to eviscerate up to 8 targets, but nah at 5 targets its time to BP

#

Because it just does more

alpine wraith
#

yea bp got the Deathstalker hero talents treatment

#

just this time instead of doubling or trippling they just went 20 20 30

#

SURELY NOW THEY USE IT

#

yes boss we use it

severe prism
#

I didn't really like flurry because i felt like it took away the choice of funnel or big aoe sub usually have, but ds is the exact same issue but in the opposite way then lol

hazy breach
#

Trickster still has that

#

But idk its not a very fun choice anyway

#

Its a choice between two options that both feel bad most of the time

severe prism
#

I like it that's one of the reason i play sub but it's just an alt i can understand it's frustrating as a main

#

When i strated to gear my rogue as trickster it felt like i was just doing st rotation basically almost everytime (was before bp buff), it was weird

hazy breach
#

Yep but the current play pattern feels so fiddly.

#

Since BP is only good if you have find weakness up

#

But you dont want to storm to apply find weakness since nimble makes your strikes do a lot of damage

#

So you want to use rotten for a single storm to guaranteed apply it

#

But if you do it as your first rotten gcd its bugged and consumes both stacks

#

So pretty much every dance has to be exactly symbols+dance> strike > sectech > storm > bp

#

When theres 4+ targets

#

Mostly due to find weakness being rather pointless nowadays since its just always up (and really annoying when it isnt up)

cloud perch

can anyone tell me whats wrong with my macro

#showtooltip

/cast !Stealth

hollow spear
silent ruin
hollow spear
#

Aye

hazy breach
cloud perch
#

so about the macro

hollow spear
lilac stag
#

It’s pointless

vale pine
#

find wekaness was specifically introduced to add crunchiness to the system

#

so i don't think they want to remove it

lilac stag
#

Yeah def need more pointless shit to everything else you’re managing. /s

cloud perch
#

why is macro not working but typing it works

lilac stag
#

Do you have it on your stealth bar?

cloud perch
#

i am so dumb XD and for years i thought my client is just bugged

lilac stag
#

Applicable here as well.

#

lol

#

Glad I could fix your client for you. kekdog

vale pine
hexed sluice
vale pine
#

for find weakness

#

before the change you just did more damage

#

but now you do the exact same damage than before

#

but ONLY if find weakness is applied

#

so blizz added a system by splitting out damage and adding additional constraints

#

changing something from being simple to complicated

#

in rollplaying you usually say crunchy to systems designed like this

hollow spear
#

I mean, they are half way there by making it auto apply while being behind the target 😄

vale pine
#

and some people like design thats not simple and adds a lot of extra work for no reason

hollow spear
#

now we need the other half of the target

cloud perch
#

idk that macro was on my stealth bar all the years but the other XD

vale pine
#

it kind of is also part of any game system

#

you want to keep it simple but not so simple that you remove all thought

#

wow isn't that good in following this direction

#

but the game is also 20 years old

hollow spear
#

They are pretty bad at that, based on what I see in the sub tree at least

vale pine
#

i am not judging their design, their team seems extremely small and wow is still the most popular at least traditional mmorpg

hollow spear
#

It basically just makes me want to set up more weakauras to bandaid

#

I just hope that our tree sees some love soon-ish and that some of the long standing bugs get ironed out. Probably coping, but hope always dies last.

vale pine
#

most of the new systems are designed in a way to add additional things to keep in mind

#

hero talents are kind of a mistake if you want to keep things simple

hollow spear
#

I don't have an issue with juggling things, but imo they should be a little more 0/1

#

I wouldn't mind keeping up FW by using a backstab here and there

#

But sometimes you just cannot reliably get behind the target and it feels bad to hope for crits

sick jackal
vale pine
#

but again, the game exists for 20 years and sticks to a simialr deisgn philosophy. It works for them so i am not here to critisize it.

hollow spear
#

Yes, but that doesn't (and shouldn't) stop you from constructively criticizing their talents/approach, when necessary.

vale pine
#

But all just comes down to how much dev time a spec gets, you see specs who get more typically have more choice in talents for example.

sub rogue felt goos cuz when you pressed dance your stelth abilities did big damage

#

right now 16 dmg amps do the damage not stealth abilities

#

being able to spam ss felt like cheating for a while

#

rn its just you dont do dmg outside dance

uneven scarab

Ya i kinda agree with that bigtime

sick jackal
#

and the combo point system is just dead rn as we dont even think about it most of the time

#

just pressing gen into spender is bis for most of the time

If sub was that good (design wise) more people would play it. Hot take but aging wow player base don’t want to be bothered with all that and want good visuals / topping meters without a crazy skill cap.

Never needed healing even on 14s

Nah sub is paper compared to DKs

#

But ye sub is incredibly tanky compared to all the other specs

#

DKs are losing 4% DR and 8% stamina come next patch and theyre still gonna be the tankiest Classic

jaunty umbra
#

so long they have AMS ez

hazy breach
#

Not even AMS, they just passively have so much damage reduction and extra stamina

jaunty umbra
#

yea I mean even if they nerfed all the passives, they still have good active defensives

#

and Deathstrike

#

that thing is also disgusting

wicked joltBOT

The orb and circle from Treacherous Transmitter always spawn in the same spot. Relative to how your character is facing it spawns northeast/1:30 o'clock/frontright, this means you can know where it will spawn and react accordingly.

how much does it matter that sectec is one of the first 2 finishers used for supercharger during dance? I see some logs where rogues use sectec as the 3rd finisher but it doesn't really benefit from supercharger

pliant topaz
#

alot

#

sectech being first 2 is more than just supercharger btw

#

its very important for the cadence of trickster

#

and its also important for fitting both sectechs in transmitter window / flag window

spiral marsh
pliant topaz
#

because trickster has coup de grace, which a major activator for it is sectech

#

also it has 10% sectech cdr which deathstalker doesnt. which is also one of the reasons u also sectech asap as deathstalker during flag windows. so the 2nd one is back up in time

I think this is the distribution

how many people hit that in actual numbers

sounds like it would be below 1000

pliant topaz

well masters is pure climb, u win games u climb.

but after that its # of people

so like challenger is litearlly only 500 people i think??

and a lot of challengers have multiple challenger accoutns

so really its like 100-200 people

Do we hold coup de grace usage if we have <25 secs left on shadowblades? or can we just hold for regular dance if its coming up soon?

Or is it just safe to burn coup outside of dance altogether?

rocky ocean

it's definitely safe, as nothing depends on it

latent oracle
#

About to ask some stupid questions
For context I am a returning player who left shortly after MoP, so a lot has changed so it appears. Even then, I didn't really play rogue.

I want to PvP but don't seem to be doing much at the lower levels (I'm 24 right now, undead) what rotations should I be using at this level?

molten citrus
#

if you're talking about retail

latent oracle
#

Right but I'm still finding battlegrounds as soon as you can play em, or do you mean a rogue isn't effective at pvp until end game?

molten citrus
#

no class is really useful in pvp until end game

#

i think battlegrounds have level scaling, but it's likely incredibly wonky

#

most people you're going to run into are probably twinks which you won't stand a chance against

latent oracle
#

Twinks doesn't mean the thing I'm thinking of rn does it

molten citrus
#

twinks in wow are people who exp lock their characters

#

for example at level 20

#

then they get BiS level 20 gear

#

and do wild damage because level scaling is wonky

latent oracle
#

Might just have to go back to cata classic where I'm at least somewhat comfortable in what I'm doing lmao

molten citrus
#

Pretty much everything in retail is end game content now

#

Doesn’t take long to level at all either

pliant topaz

the question was is it safe to send coup righ away, and I answered accordingly

its pretty annoying how it turns the camer a

i rly like the wow camera movement

#

i think wow has a action camera mode too

keen dome
#

Same. I like a lot of 14's stuff, but the minute-to-minute combat is so dire compared to WoW. WoW's movement, the fludity of combat, the snappiness, the camera, etc.

vale pine
#

one thing i hoped would be an option to change was camera with shadowstep

#

it is quite a bit confusing if you use step and have your camera reset to a certain angle/position

#

the same problem with killing spree but probably more annoying

keen dome
#

haha, yeah

#

I streamed a key to a buddy who only plays 14, because I wanted to show him the typical WoW endgame content. And he was getting so disorientated whenever I'd step something.

it is def. not intuitive

hello :) im trying to learn sub, coming from assa. Do i use symbols of death only with secret technique?

and shadow dance with symbols of death, or hold both for flaggelation?

sick jackal
fathom adder
#

when would you "cleave" with your st rotation in trickster build and when using storm? i do not understand that right now

sick jackal
#

in a dance window you always want to generate combop points with strike and if you have less than 5 enemies youll want to evis

stone robin
#

okay so i dont hold anything?

sick jackal
#

basicly you press shadowdance everysingle time when you can send a secret technique as the first combopoint spender

#

and when you have send 2 dances you check how long is left until your blades/flag and cook up some dances

stone robin
#

and when can i send secret technique as the first combopoint spender? i thought i have to use it second always

stone robin
#

oooooh

sick jackal
#

with our new tierset we send tech as the first spender

stone robin

i see

so if my technique and symbols are up i press shadow dance, symbols and then technique?

sick jackal
