Do we apply slice and dice manually as sub or just do it through eviscerate? Ty

vestal escarp
#

Evis

hot plaza
lilac stag
#

Apply it manually if for some reason you don’t have it up and coup is next evis

viral girder

Huuuuge.
SO to those that know and been helping me, thanks. For first ever raid and going straight into heroic at 600 item level, I was doing a consistent about 700k dps on the single target bosses with horrible weapons, not maxed out enchants, etc.
But in that raid I managed to get a Blood-Kissed Kukri in my vault because of it. 😄

silent ruin
#

Someone had mentioned rotten both stacks are consumed if use storm, but I tested it n I can see the rotten buff 1 stack remaining after storm. What am I missing?

runic sequoia
#

How many targets did your storm hit

vale pine
#

there is a new glyth which adds some fancy particles to the pistol shot animation in this patch

#

sry for the late response was busy re-wireing stuff in the house today.. because my gf's mother needed a new reciver and there was a lot of custom cabeling etc. which did not make it easy to install a new one.

pliant topaz
silent ruin
#

yes, the bug is on multiple ?

#

full cp multiple or just any multiple ?

pliant topaz
#

its not a bug. every instance of damage is considered a hit, so rotten makes it crit and takes away a stack for it

#

so if u hit 2 targets, takes both stacks

#

2+ *

silent ruin
#

ah ok so 2 targets = 2 crit, rotten gone

#

ya, thanks !

pliant topaz
#

yes, the "bug" if u will, is that you can spend 2nd stack of rotten to make ALL hits of storm crit

#

which is why u do the strike finish storm finish thing

silent ruin
#

ya, got it

hybrid prism
#

should i use the rashanan cloak even though its a .2% dps loss?

hazy breach
#

If you want to, it doesnt matter either way

#

The defensive effect is kinda doodoo

hybrid prism
#

yeah for real. It's a shame I have all 3 of the rare pieces in hero 626 but am not using any of them because they are all downgrades

#

would be really cool if the neck has vers instead of haste, that proc would be money

fathom adder
#

i do not get what activates flawless form. is it just the effect from backstab/shadowstrike?

hollow spear
#

Coup also gives five (?) stacks

hazy breach
#

Its the top node in trickster

fathom adder
#

thank you

hybrid prism
#

petitioning blizzard to let us hold one of our daggers upside down if we want

fallow nimbus
#

like guildwars 2 thief

haughty mural
vale pine
#

i had to dissasamble and solder a bit, but everything works now ^^

haughty mural
#

good shit

gritty knot
#

the weekly ring quest is again already online in europe btw, i dunno if anyone wrote that before me, didnt check sorry

#

seems like last week again, so u can take the quest in europe already now too since NA reset and propably tomorrow after europe reset again^^ enjoy

hollow spear
#

I cannot find the graphic with the goofy sub icon anymore

#

Want to make that my profile pic

hollow spear
#

I could swear there was an even goofier version 😄

grand wyvern
#

i always thought the stealth icon had blue hair and mustaches

viral girder
#

I umm

#

My hero timewalking chest for my like.. give or take 2 week old rogue

#

Gave me a Void Reaper Contract

#

Thats not what I was expecting. Normally those chests dont give me shit

hot plaza
#

is storm used inside dance pls guys above 5 targets? also is Sectech ok to be used as first finisher inside dance? ty ❤️

barren wolf
#

q gargaggle maaaaaah dick!

#

wrong chat thats for assa

wind canopy
hot plaza
wind canopy
#

Why wouldn’t they be current?

swift tinsel
#

11.1 ptr appears to be on bnet client

wind canopy
#

Check for changes?

swift tinsel
#

I'm gonna cream my jorts if there's a bunch of bug fixes

molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

I'm expecting nothing tho

wind canopy
molten citrus
#

i don't think so

swift tinsel
#

nah maybe in a couple weeks

molten citrus
#

dunno if there's any bug fixes without testing ofc

#

but this is just tier set/cantrip testing basically

wind canopy
#

Yeah that was the next thing was the bug fixes

swift tinsel
#

gonna see if the tier set stacking is really 10ppm or whatever it said

#

Hm, they have the s1 tier sets but not s2

hot plaza
swift tinsel
#

oh wait I'm dumb they aren't in org

void hound
#

wait since when do we finish on 6 cp inside dance

#

my god

wind canopy
void hound
#

i guess ive been playing wrong all this time then

#

its like finding out santa isnt real

lilac stag
#

Yeah cause we’ve kept cp finishers secret in here

void hound
#

i knew it....

lilac stag
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

There. You can see what else you’re doing wrong Santa.

void hound
#

you know what

lilac stag
#

Merry Christmas.

void hound
#

i think i rather live in ignorance

hazy breach
#

Seems like a delve/world quest trinket

#

Although its haste or crit

wind canopy
hazy breach
#

So maybe not

lilac stag
#

insert haste not that bad copium

swift tinsel
#

so it's been taking ~50ish seconds to stack to 10 for me

wind canopy
#

Wasn't there a change to get hero gear from 11.1 delves? 11s or something?

swift tinsel
#

Idk if its hero gear but you can get gilded crests from them

wind canopy
#

Ah

keen dome
#

You can already get hero gear from Delves. Vault from 8 or bountiful map from 8. Just obnoxious to grind. And ye, 11's giving more gilded or something

wind canopy
#

Because yeah, even if it was good, still annoying to have to deal with that loot pool to get it? 😐

swift tinsel
#

wouldn't be surprised if 11's drop hero track from bountifuls though instead of just map/vault

keen dome
#

Same

swift tinsel
#

if they're giving gildeds now

#

iirc its a small number of crests

lilac stag
#

Eleem and I both have 626 knifes. Loot pool clearly not bad. Trashpandascheme

alpine wraith
#

just be a chad and never get bullied

#

just buy the lantern biggly

#

alts eating good

#

until new raid drops

swift tinsel
#

done a handful and it doesn't really drop ever

jaunty umbra
#

so you're winning son

swift tinsel
#

still ~42-45sec to stack

#

how do you log dummy tests again, just regular /combatlog and go?

wind canopy
#

Yeah

#

And then turn it off that way as well

fierce ivy
#

I've been hitting the dummy for 7 minutes and never dropped the winning streak aswell. Seems quite bugged

swift tinsel
#

also you can't cancelaura the buff

#

gonna log out with the 10 stack and see how many eviscs it takes to drop it

#

nvm that clears it

hazy breach
#

Ye and the shadow damage doesnt seem to work either

wind canopy
swift tinsel
#

over 30 casts of evisc outside of dance and it hasn't dropped yet lmao

#

I'm curious that if when its not bugged if its on cast or hit bc then coup could be problematic

#

and sectech too

hollow spear
#

it's not like it's a very complicated set, the heck is that QA

jaunty umbra
#

what QA

hazy breach
#

Sub one never gets dropped

#

Assa one gets dropped on ticks rather than on casts

#

So its perma up in aoe Classic

swift tinsel
#

yeah even at 5mins its perma

#

wait the dot ticks for sin can drop streak

#

thats so cursed

hazy breach
#

Its not cursed

#

Its really good

#

Theyre 4p maxes out the stacks once you drop it

swift tinsel
#

oh wait they get the good buff from that

hazy breach
#

Neither of them work as intended

swift tinsel
#

well we were worried about it dropping too fast

#

lmao

alpine wraith
#

surpreise MFER

#

imagine thinkind a shadow amp would work first day

swift tinsel
#

RS bug still exists for those who were hoping lol

keen dome
#

Maybe tomrorow....

grand wyvern
#

maybe next expansion

alpine wraith
#

just control C control V indiscriminate carnage

#

i swear i wont tell anyone I dont have garrote

#

oh wait wont work they would need to make it work with dance

#

rip

swift tinsel
#

new best, max stack at 34 seconds

grand wyvern
#

new meta, dont use any finishers outside of dance to get stacks? lmao

teal coral
#

@hazy breach new 1:30 trink just gamba 5head

#

either hit crit and be meh

vale pine
#

lol

teal coral
#

or hit haste and be shit

#

GAMBAGAMBAGAMBAGAMBAGAMBAGAMBAGAMBAGAMBAGAMBA

void hound
#

thanks ion

vale pine
#

next season seems to be gamba season

keen dome
#

Just stab faster.

teal coral
#

it has the same stat budget as 2 min trinkets though

#

so

#

idk

vale pine
#

we probably play it then

teal coral
#

like this is 13 ilvl higher

#

and gives roughly same amount

#

but 2 min and not 1:30

teal coral
#

yeah well

wind canopy
teal coral
#

I had to test assa tier (it's jank as fuck)

wind canopy
keen dome
#

Maybe they can make that one 1:30 for Sub because we've been very good this year.

wind canopy
#

Sounds like it

swift tinsel
#

I'm getting like 20seconds + pendulum swings on getting to 10

#

sometimes is just over 30, sometimes its almost 60 seconds

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Precisely. We've been so good this year. It's coming.

swift tinsel
#

is giving 40-45% uptime, beating azerokk by a lot

alpine wraith
#

that seems nice

swift tinsel
#

heart has been close to 25% but could just be lowrolling

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

azerokk may get buffed

swift tinsel
#

yeah its not impressive uptime wise atm

keen dome
#

Hopefully, yeah. It seemed a little weak in comparison to the other ones on offer?

swift tinsel
#

gonna do a ton of 5min tests with all the passives and see where the numbers land

keen dome
#

Try the Strength one for comedy too.

swift tinsel
#

lmao I bet it beats most agi

#

it feels real weird not using transmitter, can't get used to that feeling since we're gonna ride that train until they crater it lol

vale pine
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

logs are acting janky so I'm gonna try and get that sorted before diving in

hazy breach
#

And deathstalker like haste more than crit

swift tinsel
#

Servers just go down?

vale pine
#

don't forsahdow it

#

dead we maybe play trickster, reminder that we thought the same at the start of the last patch

keen dome
#

Maybe they'll buff Coup De Grace

swift tinsel
#

you misspelt Black Powder

vale pine
#

you misspelled shuriken storm

hazy breach
#

Idk maybe the burstiness of the tier makes trickster okay anyway, have to wait until we can test the tier out to see ig

vale pine
#

+1

hazy breach
#

If were at max stacks then thats a whopping 108% more damage to our sectech

keen dome
#

geez

hazy breach
#

Instead of the 20% we have rn

alpine wraith
#

imagine thinking tier set will work on sec tech at all

#

you will enjoy the buff to hunt them down and mark

#

wonder if it will even work on shadowed finishers

#

or blades not blades

hazy breach
#

And ye we get stacks fairly quick, but its very probable that we just dont send eviscerates outside dances

swift tinsel
#

Just over 4 mins to fully stack Eye of Kezan to 20

hazy breach
#

Because 30% damage+60% shadow damage is a very large number to be losing out on during your burst

#

Or atleast we hold of when the big burst is coming in like 10-15s probably

grand wyvern
#

fun and interactive

vale pine
#

we will see, patch won't be that soon anyways

hazy breach
#

For the most part thats only 1 or 2 finishers anyway

#

And one of them is rupture either way

#

So its like 1 eviscerate your skipping

alpine wraith
#

yea as i though it all depends on how much it takes to stack

#

if it is like 20 secs we might not evis that much at all outside

#

if it was like 15 we may take some risks

swift tinsel
#

It's been anywhere from 32 seconds to 57

alpine wraith
#

yep that is a noper

swift tinsel
#

very annoying

alpine wraith
#

but well we can stack up to 14 cps

#

and also refresh rupture like eleem said

#

so it is not as bad as you thinkj

swift tinsel
#

Kezan is consistently ~4mins to max

#

so def a slow burn

#

Cola beating all the rest so far

alpine wraith
#

kezan will be quite op as expected but yea

#

others are good too

vestal escarp
#

no notes?

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, just playing with the passive ones to get an idea. Amp is kinda weird and is feast or famine

#

They didn't change anything for us

#

so no notes

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

poison spell thing opens sideways instead of upwards

#

hm

#

not the qol I was hoping for

vestal escarp
#

good night gentlements

alpine wraith
#

yea notes are bug bug bug

swift tinsel
#

sub seems to be the only one that doesn't reset

#

crackshot dispatches don't reset for the pirates so they should be happy

vestal escarp
#

infinite streak?

#

tier fixed?

swift tinsel
#

Lol havoc is completely broken too. Chaos strike is taking 10 secs off eye beam so you can spam it every 3 spells

vestal escarp
#

20s cd right?

swift tinsel
#

the new Cycle talent is broken

vestal escarp
#

good talent for them yeah

swift tinsel
#

new inertia feels extremely weird

ripe flame
#

!transmitter

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.

gamers

#

this is the correct ptr right

#

11 1 0

vale pine
#

yes, the 11.1 one

fallow nimbus
swift tinsel
#

It’s triggered from the hunt and VR instead of immo aura

#

And you can either fel rush or felblade to activate unbound chaos instead of just rush

fallow nimbus
#

Doesn't sound so bad

#

Different but not bad

swift tinsel
#

It’s just awkward to get used to after using immo for the trigger

vestal escarp
#

you dont have to spend unbound with rush now

swift tinsel
#

Gotta rethink how you use VR

vestal escarp
#

but you're still flipping every 20s cause of eye beam

#

it's less crunchy

swift tinsel
#

Well, less atm bc beam is bugged af

fallow nimbus
#

VR into rush/fel then ibeam into that one dmg amp spell into spam

swift tinsel
#

But it’ll be nicer once I’ve played it more

vestal escarp
#

yeah havoc is basically dancing every 20s now

swift tinsel
#

Not just flip beaming, gotta add that gcd between

vestal escarp
#

we asked so much for a deepening buff that it overflowed and went to the purple rog

swift tinsel
#

Same dev, bound to happen

fallow nimbus
#

Flip into felblade

vestal escarp
swift tinsel
#

Realz was in fel hammer talking about working on it

vestal escarp
#

huh idk about that

fallow nimbus
#

If trickster is on par with DS or better than i am happy

swift tinsel
#

You can see the messages 🤷🏻‍♂️

lilac stag
vestal escarp
#

catch me being in fel hammer on god

#

lmao

lilac stag
#

at least they don’t tell the dev to unalive

round latch
#

😂

lilac stag
#

We’re just as bad

vestal escarp
#

nah toxicity for newcomers here is way less

swift tinsel
#

maybe in sub

lilac stag
#

They’re just all hyper condensed into one Dps spec

swift tinsel
#

sin can be a minefield

lilac stag
#

And there are like 30 people in here tops

swift tinsel
#

ol I don't touch lol

#

and mostly the same people in here

lilac stag
#

Sin and outlaw are shit shows

round latch
#

sin is fine,just alot of humour and some trolling

#

outlaw is just as vile as fel hammer

lilac stag
#

BS

#

Nerf assa and it’s slow mode

swift tinsel
#

I've seen people dogpile in sin chat a fair few times

lilac stag
#

Hardly stable

round latch
#

so u will see some weird stuff as well but the OG's are amazing ppl

swift tinsel
#

cursed by the fotm

lilac stag
#

I’m sure they are some amazing people in havoc chat as well

round latch
#

ive went once,then left the server

#

didnt last more than 5min

#

it was impossible

swift tinsel

#

is fel hammer the DH server?

swift tinsel

just hopped in hoping for a screengrab and this was one of the first messages I saw

#

didn't let me down

jaunty umbra
#

that's so cool

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

We can’t even get coup animation to work right lol

modern marten
#

I like sub because he tunrs purple

leaden prairie
#

shaman got new visuals

#

before we did

swift tinsel
#

it's 100% their expansion, of course they did

leaden prairie
#

no

swift tinsel
#

they probably figured pistol shot glyphs were good enough

molten citrus
#

Midnight better be the sub rogue expansion

steel zinc
#

Midnight

#

if not we are doomed

#

gotta /deletespec then

swift tinsel
#

they'll find a way to make it about literally any other class/spec

#

they're planning to push as many people away from playing sub so they can nuke it

steel zinc
#

The current playstyle is not bad tbh

#

Actually fun

tribal blade
#

am i here just in time to see no rogue changes

steel zinc
#

Issue is class animations and overall feel

swift tinsel
#

playstyle generally isn't what people are upset about

steel zinc
#

Yeah tbf I made my rogue in wod because how cool dfa looked

#

Same with warrior bladestorm

molten citrus
#

i'm pretty bored of the playstyle

#

personally

tribal blade
#

i don't think sub is anywhere near perfect

#

right now

#

better for sure

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

there's a TON of minor things they could do

steel zinc
molten citrus
#

i'm kinda tired of the basic strike->evis spam of all 3 specs though

swift tinsel
steel zinc
molten citrus
#

ye i just think it'd breath a lot of life into the class if that changed some

steel zinc
#

Evis is in classic 😅

molten citrus
#

this game has changed a lot since classic

tribal blade
#

quite litearlly half the talent tree needs to be updated

steel zinc
#

But also in order to balance classes they all have to fit the two damage patterns that exist. Either constant or spike/burst dps in intervals

steel zinc
tribal blade
#

that one's pretty bad

steel zinc
#

I think the tree for sub should have the upper part more about utility. I loved aoe kidney the 1 week it was in

tribal blade
#

they removed aoe kidney because it was "too op"

steel zinc
#

And tbf iron wire is even better then aoe kidney

tribal blade
#

but other classes have on par utility

#

so i don't get it

steel zinc
#

Yeah but 10 sec iron wire

hazy breach
steel zinc
tribal blade
#

easy solution would have been to nerf the duration to secondary mobs by like 50%

#

then the talent becomes balanced

hazy breach
#

Ye but stunning is significantly better than silencing

steel zinc
tribal blade
#

they could bring it back for free, it would require no work on their part

swift tinsel
#

6 sec aoe kidney is still quite strong

hazy breach
#

Its absurdly mega turbo strong

swift tinsel
#

and has more use cases than silence

steel zinc
#

Idk shaman has every cc in the book

swift tinsel
#

yeah bc this is their xpac, they get everything

steel zinc
#

Knock/up-back cc frog etc.

swift tinsel
#

purge, aoe stun

steel zinc
steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

and that's what we get for the next few years

#

1 tier

#

this one isn't so bad for sub

#

just outshined by sin

#

and obv enh/fdk

steel zinc
#

Tbf sub is also been middle or top during prog or slightly after

#

It's never really the numbers

swift tinsel
#

once kills hover around 3mins

steel zinc
#

Also they balance around hc and arguably sub is the best spec for hc

fair stump
short radish
#

We really don't have utility

hazy breach
#

Its literally always the numbers

worn ivy
#

Ohh yes

#

love to see 't

swift tinsel
#

don't get too excited

#

its not up very much

worn ivy
#

any trinket you suggest

#

bois

swift tinsel
#

try them out, its day 1

worn ivy
#

do we need to download different details for ptr?

swift tinsel
#

if you use curseforge there should be a Retail PTR X you download them under

#

alternatively you can copy your interface folder from retail

tribal blade
#

did they buff the proc rate of the ring as well as giving it more animations

tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

roughly 3800 agi per minute

#

for azerokk

#

if it lines up with blades its nice

hazy breach
#

The averages doesnt really matter that much if you do 0 damage most of the time kekdog

swift tinsel
#

lmao right

#

if it procs outside cd's its go agane

tribal blade
#

i have 5 ring buffs up right now

#

what is going on

#

i got 5 buffs again

wind canopy
#

Are you playing outlaw or something? sus

tribal blade
#

ok so the ring will give 5 buffs

#

and then do this animation on your char when it happens

wind canopy
#

Oh

hazy breach
#

On the isle ye

#

Thats the buff from the weekly

tribal blade
#

OH

#

ok

#

that makes more sense

worn ivy
#

subtlety does not look

#

hot bois 😄

pliant topaz
#

idk chief, go to a barber i guess

#

mine looks hot af

hazy breach
#

The "not a trailer for not arcane s3" from league was so dope

#

Too bad theres probably atleast a year or so until fortiche drops something new sadgesipjammies

wind canopy
#

fortiche?

hazy breach
#

The animation studio riot worked with for arcane

wind canopy
#

Oh

pliant topaz
#

jeeeesus

#

i dont think there will be a new show for atleast 2 years

#

these are afaik a lot of setup for the mmo

wind canopy
#

Yeah

hazy breach
#

Im not really holding my breath for the mmo seeing there hasnt been anything said about since they said theyre heavily shifting direction

#

But ye looking real cool

pliant topaz
#

the way you know what theyre working on is looking at what theyre hiring for

#

theyve been mass hiring for the mmo based roles

wind canopy
#

Yeah

hazy breach
#

Well ye but its still far off

pliant topaz
#

oh yeah for sure

#

earliest 2030 is my guess

wind canopy
#

They hired a buddy of mine right after he finished with the release of SL

pliant topaz
#

yeah and from the post mm made on reddit

#

the show and all of it really is kinda a setup for the mmo

worn ivy
#

they only put tiersets and trinkets for PTR right

#

no daggers there is a fist wep but

swift tinsel
#

correct

#

tier set, trinkets, and cantrip weapons

#

agi daggers not so lucky

hazy breach
#

Well theres no special dagger

#

And all content you'd do on ptr scales your ilvl anyway so you can use whatever in the other slots

pliant topaz
#

and he said yeah there is

#

then pulls out a trinket that either gives you haste or crit

#

and I was like Surebud

swift tinsel
#

there are but there aren't any stat ones besides the haste/crit

#

big doodoo pile of trinkets

#

kinda considering just

#

not playing this season

pliant topaz
#

eyooo same

swift tinsel
#

Might tag in as mistweaver if I'm gonna play anything

worn ivy
#

this ?

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

caps at hero track so I'm assuming its a delve trinket

#

so many trinkets are just laughable

worn ivy
#

xD

hazy breach
#

But also that one is from world content and/or delves

#

So the ilvl is gonna be stinky unless you get peak rng

swift tinsel
#

fucking 13 of the agi trinkets do damage as their main/on use effect

#

why

#

just garbage itemization

#

5 1.5min agi trinkets but all ass

hazy breach
#

Its gonna be fine

#

Cant have perfect items every single season, thats just how it goes

#

Tier set is looking good though (in theory atleast, hopefully they make it work Cheesin )

swift tinsel
#

idk, the huge disparity in stack time has me a bit concerned

#

if its down to 30-40sec I'd be a bit more optimistic about it

hazy breach
#

Just dont drop it 4HEad

swift tinsel
#

lmao ez

#

Hunt them down stonks 📈

hazy breach
#

Presumably the shadow damage is only during dance

#

But who knows

swift tinsel
#

yeah, that's what I'm assuming also

#

or expecting, but you're right who knows

#

getting it to work is step 1

young path
#

how are you supposed to use Ovi'nax's Mercurial Egg Trinket? I'm assuming as little movement as possible? Or is it better to freeze it with the mastery buff?

hazy breach
#

Stay below 20 stacks

young path
#

(just got one from vault haven't used before)

hazy breach
#

Doesnt really matter which

young path
#

ahhh, ty!

worn ivy
#

after checking all this trinkers

#

mythic transmitter might be still better

#

😄

half comet
#

=any animations updated :3

hazy breach
#

Do you think we are shamans

#

Ofc theres no updates Cheesin

half comet
lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

nah it'll get nerfed 2 weeks before 11.1

lilac stag
#

They’ll forget about it and spymaster

#

Then see it in heroic

swift tinsel
#

the unholy dk's will ruin it for us

lilac stag
#

Nah nerf the fuck out it.

#

If we’re reliant on a trinket fix the fucking spec

pliant topaz
#

I am genuinly heart broken mages havent gotten their visual updates yet. this is unacceptable. these poor mages

lilac stag
#

drown your sorrows in league

swift tinsel
#

yeah the visual update they got a few months ago wasn't a full revamp, the agony

tribal blade
#

ok i am hating jump puzzle on ansurek

#

i want orb every time

*** Initial PTR impressions and findings ***

  • Tier set is current bugged, the stacks can never be dropped and the shadow damage part of the set just doesnt work. shrugeg
  • There is a 90s stat trinket from outdoor/delves but it unfortunately gives haste or crit, so that coupled with lower ilvl means its probably not ideal. So we will just have to wait until the trinkets are implemented in sims to see which of the damage trinkets we likely end up running with.
  • Still no bugfixes or changes to subtlety or any of the hero talents.
hazy breach
#

Not much to talk about but figured i'd put one out there

#

Bugged tier set for a bugged spec

swift tinsel
#

I'm sure people will be asking about the trinket so it'll be nice to be able to point to it lol

#

starting to get rapid-fire booted from ptr

celest mulch
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
pliant topaz
#

like between sectech and shadowed finishers

#

which one we think tiers not gonna work with when it goes live

worn ivy
#

Its shitshow again

wind canopy
pliant topaz
#

theres a plot twist though! shadowed finishers could work with normal evis

lilac stag
#

warrior or quit time

pliant topaz
#

but with coup?

#

with darkest night?

#

darkest night STILL doesnt work with shadowed finishers

#

sectech STILL doesnt work with the shadow amp from DS

#

pure cinema

#

theres so much potential

lilac stag
pastel rampart
#

inb4 unseen blade procs randomly make you lose tier stacks

pliant topaz
#

idk about that

#

but i can see coup making you lose stacks

#

I can also see darkest night not giving or taking stacks

hazy breach
#

Surely 2p works on coup clueless

pastel rampart
hazy breach
#

(i havent checked)

pliant topaz
#

surely

lilac stag
pliant topaz
#

pog

#

hopefully they remove the coup animation when you do it from range

hazy breach
#

Getting new animations typically requires you to have animations to begin with clueless

pliant topaz
#

we do!!

#

we stole warriors charge and rampage!

lilac stag
#

You me just turing the player purple isn’t an animation?

pliant topaz
#

it doesnt work if you do it from melee though!

lilac stag
#

or if you spam abilities

bleak wind
pliant topaz
#

well animation only works when u do the charge

#

but yeah

#

both hopefully go

lilac stag
pliant topaz
#

but that wont happen because "spells identitiy is in the charge wawawaawwa"

lilac stag
#

When they delete sub

pliant topaz
#

thatd be sweet tbh

#

ill be free

swift tinsel
#

inb4 coup ends up with a 45% chance to reset

#

1x per hit

pliant topaz
#

oh thats a good one!

#

i can see that

#

it wont be 45% but yeah

swift tinsel
#

was the first thing I checked before realizing it never, ever resets lmao

bleak wind
pliant topaz
#

yeah but you being completly miserable isnt important to the designer though

swift tinsel
#

omg how cursed would it be if its stacked deck among all finishers, not unique

pliant topaz
#

what matters is the "design" and the "identity"

swift tinsel
#

I'm just gonna play warrior and monk

#

mw and ww devs have been doing god's work

pliant topaz
#

u mean the 2 classes that had the charge, were miserable because of it, and had it removed? so the left over shit can be given to rogue?

swift tinsel
#

surrender to madness

#

lesdo

#

spam finishers until you die

#

which is basically how you feel outside of blades

#

so the theme is kinda there already

tribal blade
rocky ocean
#

wake up
read pin
PEAK CINEMA

tribal blade
#

they're gonna spend all their timing fixing the tier set

#

instead of actually giving us anything new or any changes

#

and that'll count as "rogue dev time"

lilac stag
#

u funny

molten citrus
#

how so

#

it used to be that one guy

#

scarizard

#

idk if it still is or not

swift tinsel
#

Idk if he's still with blizz

lilac stag
#

thinking we have a dev looking at rogue.

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

boy let me tell you

#

I wrote a list

#

hint

#

its almost all of them

swift tinsel
#

16/25 agi trinkets just do damage

#

4 of 5 1.5min cd trinkets are among them

lilac stag
#

legit feel like I’m gonna play warrior and take a break

swift tinsel
#

the 1 1.5 min cd trinket is 50/50 crit or haste

lilac stag
#

Missing shout again on a prog night

molten citrus
#

warrior can be fun

#

brain off n chills

spark tusk
#

ok I'm finally going to the island

#

am I going to have fun

molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

if you wanna turn brain off on island, its fun

pliant topaz
#

you create your own fun

lilac stag
#

I generally enjoy it. I like the tankiness of rogue. My shitty vision sometimes needs it

swift tinsel
#

you just kill stuff

spark tusk
#

cool I need to kill some stuff

molten citrus
#

is rally still busted for raid

swift tinsel
#

busted as in strong?

#

bc not really

molten citrus
#

ya

swift tinsel
#

they nerfed it a lot going into tww

molten citrus
#

it used to be giga

swift tinsel
#

yeah now I think its like 15%

#

nvm its 10% lol

molten citrus
#

yea looks like 10%

swift tinsel
#

yeah it was super strong before

lilac stag
#

It’s still good

molten citrus
#

yeah ofc

lilac stag
#

Just not crazy

molten citrus
#

mhm

#

it used to be, what? 30%?

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

at one point

lilac stag
#

the death by rot dmg on warrior is the negative

molten citrus
#

yeah i remember running at least 2 warriors was nice a lot of the time

lilac stag
#

I think one of our tanks wants to play warrior, which is great until you need dk grips

molten citrus
#

i think Arms plays faster nowadays too which is nice

#

it's still chill but fun

lilac stag
#

arms pacing is good

swift tinsel
#

Yeah their rage economy is pretty fluid

lilac stag
#

Fury is better too

molten citrus
#

i hated Arms in SL

lilac stag
#

I will almost always find a way to enjoy arms

molten citrus
#

felt slower than assa

lilac stag
#

Unless it’s completely rage starved

swift tinsel
#

Played arms in sanctum for a while before stopping playing

molten citrus
#

but i was prolly undergeared or underleveled when i tried it back then

swift tinsel
#

what cov?

lilac stag
#

I enjoy execute phases. Wish it felt better on assa

molten citrus
#

ik i mostly played venthyr fury

swift tinsel
#

I think you only ever played night fae or kyrian for arms iirc

molten citrus
#

one of the seasons

lilac stag
#

NF arms

#

Kyrian fury at one point

molten citrus
#

i never cared much about covs on my alts in SL

swift tinsel
#

I think I only ever played venthyr fury, I couldn't stand spear for whatever reason

molten citrus
#

i just went with whatever wowhead said was best in raid for my preferred spec

swift tinsel
#

I messed around with each across rogue and druid in torghast to get a feel

#

so, so much torghast

molten citrus
#

i played all 4 on rogue for sure

lilac stag
#

What bothers me is, I’m not going to enjoy playing assa, or DS sub. Losing tier, and likely trinket and I feelycraft see our burst as tricky taking a hit that just won’t be fun

swift tinsel
#

I think that's really valid

molten citrus
#

why don't you like DS?

swift tinsel
#

bc that's similar to how I feel going in

lilac stag
#

it’s shit

molten citrus
#

just an aoe dislike? or

lilac stag
#

The cdr is shit

molten citrus
#

ahh

lilac stag
#

The gameplay is stale

swift tinsel
#

darkest night just feels obtrusive to me

molten citrus
#

i love darkest night

#

in pvp

lilac stag
#

It shows all the flaws in the base spec in pve

swift tinsel
#

^

molten citrus
#

even though it's nerfed by like 66.666...%

swift tinsel
#

the power of it is nice for sure, the implementation just feels clunky

molten citrus
#

i guesso

#

it's just so easy to cycle marks as sub

swift tinsel
#

outside of blades when you're gonna hit 7cp no matter what

molten citrus
#

but pvp is way different from pve

#

especially for sub

lilac stag
#

We had one of the better tier sets, and face it we are pretty reliant on transmitter to really pop

swift tinsel
#

ah I can imagine, I haven't really pvp'd since cata

molten citrus
#

i wish sub had better sustained dmg

swift tinsel
#

100%, dps between having transmitter and not is extremely noticable

molten citrus
#

which is the opposite of what i'd like it to have in pve

#

but it feels so bad in pvp rn

swift tinsel
#

I really like sub's burst and prio damage profile

#

in pve

molten citrus
#

yeah i like it a lot from a pve perspective

#

i mean burst is really good in pvp too but

#

we basically afk outside of burst

swift tinsel
#

just gotta be a peelbot lol

lilac stag
#

Sadly my faith in bliz giving sub any attention is at an all time low, even by my standards

molten citrus
#

deepening shadows nerf not getting reverted after dust was removed... really kinda fucked us

swift tinsel
#

which isn't really compelling gameplay

#

Yeah I'm not expecting any spec changes at all in 11.1

molten citrus
swift tinsel
#

MAYBE 11.2 but that's a very low expectation

#

that's so sad

molten citrus
#

legit doing 250k dps while everyone else does 400-800k

#

kinda insane

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that's just kinda bad

#

and by kinda

#

I mean really

#

idk it was kinda disheartening logging into ptr and not really feeling any excitement

molten citrus
#

hopefully once they fix the tier set it feels good

#

i'm praying for another good tier set we actually use in pvp

swift tinsel
#

yeah, it'll take some tweaking with the stack rate

spark tusk
#

you sold me words

swift tinsel
#

the time I went I just killed pirates and stuff!

#

I also put in like

#

1 effort

#

maybe .6

#

its all domination sockets to me

#

which made me quit in SL lol

spark tusk
swift tinsel
#

dang

spark tusk
#

going to have to make some serious decisions

swift tinsel
#

hmmm

#

well

#

idk

#

tbh all I really did was kill the guys to get gems on one toon, then sold bought the ones I needed for alts lol

#

and I waited a few days bc they were bugged to hell and required a full Oceans Eleven heist to get to drop

spark tusk
#

yeah I heard it was a shitshow

#

glad I waited

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I think now you just kill the elites twice to get both, then the rest you can buy from the turtle guy

#

the elites from the table*

The following macros are an exception:yaml /cast Cold Blood /cast Secret Technique

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

#

shadow dance tea it is still bis?

#

i thot with the changes on the tea, we dont need to pop it with dance

alpine wraith
#

we dont really play tea

rocky ocean
#

something tells me that a spec that doesn't benefit from haste won't scale well into expansion

void hound
#

finally got the ulgrax cloak

#

we are bis everywhere now

teal prawn
rocky ocean
#

I like aura buffs

void hound
#

i dont, its cheap and lazy

#

but its better than being in the gutter so

teal prawn
#

I mean it depends really if they just aura buff stuff to be bonkers despite it playing like shit then yeah it’s cheap and lazy but if a spec has decent design and plays well and it’s just a bit behind I don’t mind it. Context certainly matters

vale pine
#

Many people play for dps and not fun. Because doing good damage is fun to them.

teal prawn

True

I have not followed ranged dps design a lot. Isn't frost mage simple? Also didn't they rework arcane to be easy?

molten citrus
#

frost has somewhat beefed up

#

on it's amount of buttons at least

#

idk about pve rotation

alpine wraith
#

arcane used to be the big D 1 button

#

but they also fell off the button hole

haughty mural
#

nothing changed then

#

bugged set for sub is kinda fitting

vestal escarp

all in all max stacks and no shadow dmg is good

true dat

keen dome
#

At least the timewalking event gives a heroic raid item each week. Maybe I'll have a heroic transmitter..

vale pine
#

you still haven't gotten one, damn

fair anchor
#

Be careful what you wish for, i did the last one with an alt, got heroic transmitter when my main still has champion

#

I almost unsubbed right here 😆

keen dome
#

I have a normal one, so not the worst. Heroic is only about 1k more agility.

fair anchor
#

Yeah true but at this point its just obstination haha

keen dome
#

Ye absolutely

#

I want ilevel

fair anchor
#

Like still doing HM DotI runs last season for the timestrike dagger, getting it when season was basically over

keen dome
#

I've got two non-636 / 639 items atm and they're tier glvoes and transmitter haha

fair anchor
#

When it didnt matter but it felt awful to not get it haha

keen dome
#

I wish to make the number go up more.

vale pine
#

i think it is one of wow's main weaknesses

#

you rely on drops too much, it can feel rly good if you are lucky but terrible if unlucky

keen dome
#

Yeah. Or chasing that final item that refuses toe xist for you..

lilac stag
#

I wish drops felt good. More like a sense of relief for me.

keen dome
#

Yeah...

tepid trellis
#

i think the chinese parse runs are ratting again

lilac stag
#

To each their own. I just want to enjoy the content I run. I despise the gearing process. It’s not fun or enjoyable (for me).

#

being able to buy let’s say transmitter would make grinding way more tolerable than hoping for a hit

keen dome
#

For a lot of pieces, it's whatever. But then you run into specific ones and it's just a goddamn nightmare. Gimme (more) determinism, bad luck protection, etc.

round latch
#

only need to boost him through a full mythic run

hollow spear
#

I feel like gear becomes a problem once you have specific pieces that make or break a spec

#

The difference between an armor piece with meh stats and great stats is comparably small for most specs, while having no transmitter on some specs is an absolute nightmare

keen dome
#

Ye, absolutely. Or the Smolderon trinket, etc.

#

It's always trinkets!! (except when it's daggers)

lilac stag
#

EoN kekdog

hollow spear
#

They "solved" the problem for tier sets, but trinkets are real bad still

I wasn't playing during EoN times. I'm happy I wasn't.

I did not have to suffer.

#

Just put in some currency to buy bracketless gear.

#

Bam solved gimme £5 blizz

hollow spear
#

I feel like weapons aren't that big of a deal anymore with the crafting system that we currently have

lilac stag
#

EoN laughs at you

keen dome
#

Yeah, I think the crafting system was a huge improvement towards more deterministic gear in weapon / other slots. The problem then becomes if there's a macugffin weapon or something but

rocky ocean
#

imagine a 678 vrykul lantern

hollow spear
#

I just hope they don't come up with sth like that again

keen dome
#

It's still a really good improvement, esp with the reverting back to 60 crests for 636. It makes it a good option to fill out slots with

lilac stag
#

lego 2h in DF. Good times.

tepid trellis

Not like 5% or so

tepid trellis

11% best i can do

hollow spear
#

I take it

lilac stag
#

I don’t think I got a dagger until a month before season was over

It's the gambling goblin patch. The very rare weapon has randomized damage values.

I'll just make my own raids for Heroic and they'll be stuck with me.

Not progging as assa or outlaw. I can handle one boss as assa, arthritis handels like 45 minutes of outlaw tops.

Could do worse than Sub. We being valuable utility like glowing purple

hollow spear
#

True, lighting conditions have significantly improved thanks to Sub

#

Every 90 seconds, there's also a chance for a nice and shiny orb lighting up the scenery

Sometimes it lasts quite long even, if I cannot find it in all the chaos 😄

Is spyglass better or crystal

keen dome
#

I'd recommend simming to see which is better for you, but I like crystal more.

alpine wraith

spyglass is bad for us

#

Spyglass acutally not that bad with trickster

alpine wraith

likely worse than even vrykul bell kekw

It’s true

Just open world

You get a little toy that turns you into an ethereal dude

When you do evis animation is cool but storm animation sucks

if you use the trinket in open world, it has a low chance to summon a rare mob. if you kill it - you get a toy

oh ^^

When you do storm it spins like crazy

But the other animations are ok

I wish they changed sectech animatio to something crazy

But instead they change spell reflect animation

#

For no reason

vestal escarp
#

Unfortunately there are reasons

worn ivy
#

Such as

vestal escarp
#

Sub is the least popular spec

worn ivy
#

Require a lilbit brainpower

#

And need to think before press 🙂

Its pretty much just dependant on tuning, which is all up in the air rn

Outlaw looks good but it also has bugs ye

But the idea is solid enough and the incrase chance at 5 roll is fun

this is fake news on the wowhead guide, right?

you don't BP anymore?

In a pure ST dummy scenario you dont need to no

edgy zenith

you think it's worth holding if you have adds as well?

so like third root ansurek, you proc coup, you BP until root set or nah?
