and then they drop right after

spark tusk
#

It's still wild to me that it can drop from bleed ticks

swift tinsel
#

Their set is so conceptually cooked

#

Oh definitely, there's way too many damage instances lol

raven frost
#

Is sub any fun after dust removal

#

Havent touched in tww

kind bluff
#

Nope we just play it because we hate ourselves

#

šŸ˜‰

tribal blade
#

although doesn't that mean more chances to proc the 4pc

#

or is that not enough to balance it out

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, apparently it procs like crazy in aoe

tribal blade
#

so basically the 2pc doesn't exist

#

it's just the 4pc for sin

swift tinsel
#

it's really weird

tribal blade
#

yeah that's pretty bad

swift tinsel
#

bc it stacks, but also gets consumed but also not

#

it's absolutely all over the place atm

tribal blade
#

i wonder if they rework winning streak

#

or they gonna double down

swift tinsel
#

it's just a weird thing

#

not very popular

tribal blade
#

no melee is happy with it

swift tinsel
#

It's just a ham-fisted approach

tribal blade
#

mega rng is never fun

swift tinsel
#

nah not at all

#

even if it works as intended

#

its just hard to plan around or it encourages really degenerate gameplay

#

neither of which are fun imo

#

esp since you can generate winning streak max stack in either 9 seconds or almost a full minute

#

for sub*

tribal blade
#

needing to just spam rupture as sub outside dance

#

is degen to the max

swift tinsel
#

I have a feeling it'll only be worth it to do that ~20 seconds before flag or in the middle of cooldowns when you have that 2-finisher spot before sectech is ready again

#

which, still not ideal

#

Average 0.16ish stacks per second outside Dance so you'll hit 3 stacks most of the time in that window

#

Super interested to dig into the reset behavior once it’s working

#

Bc the stacking atm is actually pretty good, I’d be pretty fine with that portion going live as-is

graceful dust
#

Stacking is fine when it doesn't reset at 4 every time or reset the global before cd window

swift tinsel
#

Which is why you’d likely not evisc in the last 15-20 seconds of flag’s cooldown

#

And in that time you’d get stacks from auto attacks, backstab, rupture ticks, etc so it’s not so bad

#

But again, will come down to reset behavior and some tc work

spark tusk
#

While that is "interesting"

#

I don't really like suppressing our main ST finisher in favor of...what rupture spam? BP spam again?

#

in st?

#

oh wait does bp proc it too?

random hare
spark tusk
#

Rupture's the one that doesn't

#

Or slice dracthyr_kek

Imma take the eigenvalue of dance's CDR

#

I don't know quantum was over a decade ago

random hare
swift tinsel
#

Yeah it’ll be rupture/SnD which is degen either way lol

spark tusk
#

I suppose we have kidney shot!

swift tinsel
#

Just send autos, take a bio break then rupture or slice depending on pandemic as your flag finisher

#

Omg new kidney meta

#

In a surprise twist we get Recuperate back as a finisher

#

I can’t wait to see if BP/nimble evisc insta-drop it bc it’s 15% per hit between phys and shadowed finisher and not per cast

#

Cinema

spark tusk
#

Just like bleeds for assa

#

lmao

#

15% chance per damage instance

#

Except watch it only proc from shadowed finishers

swift tinsel
#

Omg

spark tusk
#

because shadowed finishers can never be bug free

swift tinsel
#

Don’t manifest that

#

šŸ˜‚

#

Coup gets stacking reset chance per hit

spark tusk
#

all the more reason to not evis

swift tinsel
#

So it’s got like 90% reset chance

#

Didn’t SF make bp do weird shit with our DF s3 set

#

I’m also not so secretly hoping that trickster’s increased dance uptime nudges ds out of the picture bc it definitely has a notable impact on stack generation

#

Maybe my brain is just cooked from five hours of trickster openers and them feeling great compared to ds lol

viral girder
#

See I dont like the effects of the tier sets in season 2

#

BUt at the same time.

#

I never pay attention to tier sets and just.. get them to get them

#

They arent like Elder Scrolls Online where set bonuses drastically change how you play

#

Its always just "keep playing the same way you normally do but have this boost every now and then"

swift tinsel
#

They sometimes do alter gameplay though

#

This next set might also

#

Too early to say until things are more functional

#

Could be mostly passive, could change how we approach finishers entirely outside of shadow dance

#

A question for the robot

tribal blade
#

pray they rework winning streak

round latch
#

aint happening

#

(well not when we want it)

#

šŸ˜…

#

my daily yappin' about to end with how much i hate coup

#

and its so much

spark tusk
#

i just wish rupture would be themed as shadow and not a bleed

rocky ocean
#

sub is still a physical spec, which I was surprised about when specced into it

spark tusk
#

cooking : 2pc: Rupturing a target with rupture on it outside of dance applies a stack of Shadowed Blood per combo point spent. Casting Eviscerate or SecTec inside of Dance Ignites the target's blood causing X damage per stack. Shadowed Blood stacks removed when leaving shadow dance.
cooking : 4pc: Casting Symbols of Death causes your Shadowed Blood stacks to explode for their normal damage per stack to all enemies around the target. While Shadow Blades is active, Shadowed Blood stacks do not reset when leaving shadow dance.

#

Idn just something that came to mind

#

Which would alter gameplay

round latch
#

this is some cooking

#

the shadowed blood thing

#

me like

#

Im obsessing with the avatar of shadow idea

#

months now

#

coz sub needs an avatar button,or passive

as soon as you name it ā€œshadowā€¦ā€ it stops doing dmg

I maybe can get on before leaving for teaching in 3 hours

tribal blade

i'll be on the game at.. around 8pm est

#

8-9 most likely

lilac stag
#

That should work

#

Just trying to figure out the time zones hahah

#

I somehow have the bis trinkets as well. lol

#

Hello!
I'm doing this opener on a dummy

#

Why is it sometimes after using Eviscerate I suddenly get a full bar of combo points that I need to react to and avoid pressing Gloomblade / Shadowstrike?

vale pine
#

shadowcraft

tribal blade
vale pine
#

you essentially get combo points refunds if you have high enough shadow techniques stacks during symbols

atomic dune
vale pine
#

it is why the sequence can be slightly diffrent depending on how much you proc

#

but should on average look like the above

tribal blade
atomic dune
#

And obviously we want to extend Symbols of Death (and Shadow Dance too?) buff during Shadow Blades? using pandemic

atomic dune
tribal blade
tribal blade
#

because you want to always buff sectec with supercharger

#

so the main timer that dictates when you press stuff is the cd of sectec

atomic dune
tribal blade
#

but then sectec won't be off cd quick enough

#

so you symbols midway through the 2nd dance when you can supercharge sectec

lilac stag
#

Why are my combo points delayed refunded?

tribal blade
#

but i assumed my brain was playing tricks or the WA was buggy or laggy or something

#

NOPE

vale pine
tribal blade
#

horrendous

atomic dune
#

Ah you mean when I press Evis and it takes some time for the bar to fill with Shadow Technques?

tribal blade
#

because the delay varies

atomic dune
#

Yeah I noticed that too

tribal blade
#

so if you try to play around it you can end up losing several gcds trying

#

but usually you can delay your stuff very slightly and sometimes catch those stray delayed procs

atomic dune
#

And is it intended that the following macro doesn't work?

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Symbols of Death
/cast Shadowstrike

It doesn't cast Shadowstrike , as if the spell bar isn't updated and switched instantly to "spell bar while stealthed"?

tribal blade
#

they broke that macro going into TWW

#

doesn't work anymore as intended

tepid trellis
#

need to double press it

tribal blade
#

it's not really worth using anymore, it's very cumbersome

tepid trellis
#

correct

tribal blade
#

i used to use it, and now i just manually dance then strike

tepid trellis
#

i stopped using it at the start of DF

atomic dune
#

I'll take it as a feature to promote playing this spec as a pianist

#

But does this spec have many more bugs or not?

tepid trellis
atomic dune
#

Cuz it feels really depressing to learn a buggy and forgotten by blizzard spec

tepid trellis
#

welcome to the red headed step child of blizzard

atomic dune
#

Even though I was really excited to learn rogue

tepid trellis
#

sub has it pretty bad bug wise

tribal blade
lilac stag
tribal blade
lilac stag
tribal blade
#

so unless you absolutely love this spec it's a bit of a headache

lilac stag
#

I’d say after a month on it most give up

tribal blade
#

plus you're trying to parse against the sweatiest of sweatlords in raid considering the only people who play sub are the ones who love the shit out of it

lilac stag
#

Those are the smart ones

tribal blade
#

i think the upside honestly is that there's so few of us we get to have very fun convos in here between the few of us haha

tepid trellis
#

time to reroll

#

fcking sweats

tribal blade
#

how's lost ark btw

tepid trellis
#

I BEG TO DIFFER MFER

#

(im not really playing)

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

worst part is

#

2 of those are still top 50 logs

#

so

#

dead spec

tribal blade
#

yeah parsing as sub right now is hell on earth

#

i play out of my mind on bosses and don't parse very well

tepid trellis
#

sikran we kill to fast to play sub on it

tribal blade
#

feels bad

tepid trellis
#

so its just awfull

#

until we shave off like 20 more sec

tribal blade
#

dude the last 3-4 times i've recleared sikran i get the first charge

#

and then i just give up from there

#

no recovery from that

tepid trellis
#

and im playing assa on thursday

#

cuz im bored

tribal blade
#

nice nice

#

my guild is in queen prison, we got her to 7% today

atomic dune
#

Is sub the only spec that has a bonus damage if you're attacking from behind? And how does it work on bosses like Rasha'nan?

tribal blade
#

backstab does so little damage it doesn't matter much

tepid trellis
#

backstab dmg mod

#

is sooooo finy

#

tiny*

tribal blade
#

like backstab is a fucking horrendous button

tepid trellis
#
  • on those type of bosses they delete the parry system
atomic dune
#

But shadowstrike has it too

tepid trellis
#

no

tribal blade
#

i think you're confusing the bonus dmg from striking from stealth

atomic dune
#

Yes I am actually

tepid trellis
#

and before you get the chance to ask

tribal blade
#

that's just bonus dmg from real stealth btw, so dance doesn't work

tepid trellis
#

that dmg amp does not work on dance

#

xD

tribal blade
atomic dune
#

In my case I immediately had a thought "hmm that's weird since SS is always pressed from Stealth"

tepid trellis
#

you'd think so yeah

#

but unfortunately dance =/= stealth

tribal blade
#

that's part of what makes sub such a clusterfuck for devs to work on

#

i honestly think the best bug we have is you take virtually no aggro in dance

#

it's kinda crazy

tepid trellis
#

thats not a bug

#

xD

tribal blade
#

not sure if you would call that a bug or unintended side effect

tepid trellis
#

its intended

tribal blade
#

damn

tepid trellis
#

no clue why its there

#

but it is

#

just -1mil threat

#

in dance

#

like fade for priests

tribal blade
#

it seems unintended because there's nothing in the tooltip about it

keen dome

Watching Brann run out the door of a boss room

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

ive killed people on purpose with it

tribal blade
#

the best part is you know when you tank dies on a pull in keys you won't be the first person to take a melee swing if you're in dance

tepid trellis
#

i tank the mobs with evasion

tribal blade
#

so you can keep attacking and then dip out right before dance ends

tepid trellis
#

just say "wanna see something funny"

tribal blade
#

haha

tepid trellis
#

and my DH friendly instantly knows whats about to happen to him

#

i press dance

#

he gets clapped

tribal blade
#

btw is there any play around your tank dying, he resses instantly and gets aggro back from tricks

tepid trellis
#

tricks wont do shit for that

tribal blade
#

i try to click off tricks quick but never works

tepid trellis
#

like yes it will redirect "some" threat

#

but its really not alot

tribal blade
#

it's just a weird issue with perma tricks

tepid trellis
#

like sure if no other dps is doing anything

tribal blade
#

you send mobs running clear across the dungeon for the tank

tepid trellis
#

then yeah

#

it would slowly get directed to him

atomic dune
#

I get an impression that this place is some hobby/sport club with a bunch of regulars who've been coming here for a long time
And then there are many newcomers who come here for their first free session because they're really excited to join the club and have this hobby in their lives
And then they never show up after their first session

tepid trellis
#

very accurate

tribal blade
#

damn that's actually really accurate yeah haha

#

pretty much everyone who talks in here regularly knows each other by now

Arms arms arms

lilac stag
#

I could feast off the visuals alone.

tepid trellis
#

ive always enjoyed arms

#

but ive always hated fury

lilac stag
#

The hero talents don’t change anything

tepid trellis
#

demolish is fun

hollow spear
#

I'll feel at home then

lilac stag
#

I prefer arms play

tepid trellis
#

that button hurts

hollow spear
#

Not like we have much choice in our talents

lilac stag
#

but fury doesn’t give me arthritis like outlaw.

hollow spear
#

Or that changing the changeable ones does matter

#

How arthritis inducing is arms?

keen dome
#

My theory of "Sub rogue -> Arms warrior" correlation continues.

swift tinsel
#

Been toying around with colossus arms and it's quite fun

hollow spear
#

What's that theory? Ppl quit subtlety rogue to play arms warrior?

swift tinsel
#

Slayer gameplay just doesn't do it for me

keen dome
#

Because it does seem to be a pretty funny theme.

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I'd never quit sub for arms unless its truly dire but def as a fun alt

#

and mw if I wanna heal bc they're amazingly fun atm

void hound
hollow spear
#

I have a dk alt

#

But I just cannot get into that gameplay

sly shore
lilac stag
void hound
swift tinsel
#

I've got everything at 600-610 but arms and mw/ww stick out as the most fun non-rogues

#

though San'layn UH is a good time

#

cleaving the big dot consume feels gnarly when you set up well

hollow spear
#

WW are pretty doom about their spec, but that's probably because everybody is doom about their spec dead

lilac stag
#

Arms biggest issue is dmg rot surviving

keen dome
#

I am always shocked by how little survivability warriors have

swift tinsel
#

glass cannons

#

if its not parryable for arms they're kinda cooked

#

or spell reflectable

keen dome
#

Survivability is probably the wrong word but like, they lack a lot of options.

swift tinsel
#

fury at least gets a dr

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Yeah

hollow spear
#

Sub is surprisingly tanky

swift tinsel
#

that's why you see guys like Bajheera with at least two healers on him at all times lol

keen dome
#

Always adored how utterly unkillable Sub is

hollow spear
#

Survivability wise it's miles ahead of sin

keen dome
#

Esp in TWW with our verse stacking on top of the baked in DR and shit. It owns.

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Oh yeah I basically feel immortal outside of when I fuck up

kind bluff
#

Enhance for me. Been playing it since vanilla.

swift tinsel
#

which is why I get assigned shit all the time PogO

keen dome
#

Sub is one of the best classes for soloing older or challenging content before it's nerfed (DF raids, etc)

hollow spear
swift tinsel
#

Does recuperator work yet?

hollow spear
#

For me a rogue has never been the picture of just shrugging off hits like it's nothing

#

Besides evasion/dodge

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

also makes passive damage trinkets more viable

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

Yeah, the 10% dr during dance is also big

lilac stag
#

and yer a cc bot in pvp

swift tinsel
#

I'm annoyed target dummies are immune to ratfang toxin stacking so I can test how much damage it does over 5mins

lilac stag
#

That’s as deep as subs class fantasy goes

hollow spear
#

Not like we're playing around that from a defensive perspective, but sometimes it aligns quite well

#

Just submit to the purple mate

#

Next season it's all we'll get

swift tinsel
#

I'll submit to the purp when we're 90% kyveza

lilac stag
#

I would encourage sub on my enemy

swift tinsel
#

I wanna become a purple ethereal when I dance

vestal escarp
#

Currently 21% kyveza

Results may vary

#

consult your doctor

void hound
#

rogue defensives are a mess, i wish they were more streamlined

hollow spear
#

YOU WILL DO A LOT OF DAMAGE WITH YOUR AUTO ATTACKS AND YOU WILL LIKE IT

swift tinsel
#

I AM A DENIER I WILL NOT

lilac stag
#

How much more streamlines is do nothing, press fient or press cloak/evasion?

hollow spear
#

Wdym? Is that related to the dance dr comment?

swift tinsel
#

Sometimes cloak/evasion don't work on the things you think they should

#

but that's a blizz thing not a rogue thing imo

lilac stag
#

that’s not a streamline issue

swift tinsel
#

well, encounter team thing

void hound
#

feint's description and when it works is sometimes quite random

#

cloak having a 1 sec "hard immune" part is also weird and cringe

lilac stag
#

of all the things wrong with sub/rogue, defensives ain’t it

hollow spear
#

I think that's more on how mechanics are programmed than what the skills do, no?

lilac stag
#

You should be the last one standing every wipe

void hound
#

well im not saying its a huge issue

#

but it could be better

lilac stag
void hound
#

my point wasnt about power level

#

but rather

#

how intuitive it is

hollow spear
#

Yeah I agree with that

void hound
hollow spear
#

Every patch is "let me die to this mechanic real quick to see if my defensive works or not"

tepid trellis
#

thats what ptr is for

#

"will this kill me through feint"

lilac stag
#

Almost like you need to play the game to master your spec

void hound
#

what

hollow spear
#

I'm not really playing ptr/am not raiding on there, but I guess

lilac stag
#

test shit out

swift tinsel
#

that's what I use Normal clears for lol

#

farming cheese

hollow spear
#

I feel like that statement is a bit disingenuous, Dave

void hound
#

hey this thing could be better
"well have you tried gitting gud?"
ok my bad

hollow spear
#

That's what innovation means

#

If a mechanic doesn't count as what it says it is in the dungeon journal

lilac stag
#

I feel like you’re looking for issues that are non existent. Press fient once. It worked? Great. Cloak didn’t work? Good to know.

hollow spear
#

How is that "not being a master of your spec"

lilac stag
#

good talk. copium

void hound
#

so you think its cool that feint works on fyrak blazes but not on regicide, when its almost the same shit in blue?

lilac stag
#

I don’t care if it works or not as long as I know it does or doesn’t after I test it

#

And it’s consistent

hollow spear
#

I know we have bigger problems than that. Doesn't make it not a problem though.

lilac stag
#

For that encounter

#

Learning and using defensives often separates good from great players.

hollow spear
#

You're arguing against your own strawman

#

But sure

void hound
#

where is the skill expression in trial and error

#

when it shouldnt be in the first place

lilac stag
#

Ah straw man shit. kekdog

#

Guess you’re just one shotting everything on prog?

#

kekw

hollow spear
#

Nevermind dude

#

No point discussing this lmao

void hound
#

the class fantasy of digging through logs to see if my defensive works

tepid trellis
#

or just stand in it and press it?

lilac stag
#

are you not doing that with offensive abilities?

#

Or are you just relying on 4 people in here to do that for you?

tepid trellis
#

nah im gonna gaslight people next tier

#

cant trust me anymore

swift tinsel
#

Idk I like the reward of figuring it out

tepid trellis
#

"it works source trust me"

swift tinsel
#

or like when you can shadowstep cheese stuff

lilac stag
#

ā€œIt works, source blizzard tool tipā€

tepid trellis
#

me and push used to just chat all the time during ptr

#

to test defensives

void hound
swift tinsel
#

The day I trust a blizzard tooltip is the day I hard switch to deathstalker

void hound
#

but for some reason we are running hardcore defense for unintuitive design

hollow spear
swift tinsel
#

If there are zero deathstalker haters left, I am dead

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

that was simple tho

#

for rogue

#

that is

#

cloak / feint the charge with elusiv

#

evasion regicides

#

and feint when that runs out

#

if you arent cloaking charges time your cloak so it lasts the last two regicides in intermission

sly shore
#

I think that blizzard has issues with the current energy CP classes as a whole

#

WW/Feral/Rogue all have issues in design

#

Idk how they fix it cos energy is either a resource or doesn't matter

tepid trellis
#

imo

#

energy should be a thing that limits your out of cds output

#

which is why outlaw should be deleted

sly shore
#

But Outlaw is always in CD's

tepid trellis
#

lets be real

#

they dont have cds

#

so just delete them

Didn't have any weapon power feast and the support was 1680 with pretty low gear (but insane uptime). Also missed a T skill right before x260 so I think my dps would have been ~165m with all these things fixed.
Missing around 55% gear compared to the top parses so should be able to do ~250m dps on equal terms

@empty hornet hi.

tepid trellis
#

but it does z

#

-.-

empty hornet
#

ye

#

but thats bad

tepid trellis
#

had to swap away from lunar to hunger

#

im not happy

empty hornet
#

the one thing that was true for arcana for most of its life was that it had one of the highest skillcaps in the game, but also did insane damage if you played it right

#

meanwhile ignite sorc OMEGALUL

tepid trellis
#

drool on keyboard

#

still insane dps

empty hornet
#

ye

tepid trellis
#

rat class

empty hornet
#

but the combo point/doomcard system together with the temp buffs from the identity cards

#

is just too peak

tepid trellis
#

but yeah i think the most broken classes atm is SE, Arcana and RE deathblade

empty hornet
#

RE blade OMEGALUL

tepid trellis
#

RE IS NOT OKAY

empty hornet
#

ngl

tepid trellis
#

they made them hitmaster

#

bro

empty hornet
#

surge blade was also very sub-rogue esque early on

tepid trellis
#

their surge is omni

empty hornet
#

i know @bronze turret really loved it

tepid trellis
#

and is nowa dash

empty hornet
tepid trellis
#

surge hard blows now

#

they back loaded their dmg even more now

bronze turret
empty hornet
#

happy belated bday cutie :3

tepid trellis
#

havent talked to him in a long time

#

dont think he responded to my last dm

empty hornet
#

is he still alive?

pliant topaz
#

Last I heard he’s a surv hunter rogue hater now

bronze turret
#

idk

#

last time he posted was in july

#

didnt respond to my dm

#

and hasnt been online anywhere for months

empty hornet
tepid trellis
#

he hides offline on disc but i aint got him anywhere else

pliant topaz
#

I think 11.0 tilted him enough to reroll, then he didn’t enjoy being something other than a rogue and quit? Idk

bronze turret
bronze turret
empty hornet
#

ye every fucking year

tepid trellis
#

im close to 27 now

#

its not good

bronze turret
#

i have 1 foot in the grave

tepid trellis
#

kids taking a toll?

old venture
#

buddy do I have news for you

empty hornet
#

ye

#

it aint getting any better

tepid trellis
bronze turret
tepid trellis
bronze turret
#

not a single gray hair yet

old venture
#

I've been graying since 17

tepid trellis
#

can imagine having 3 kids running around can get quite alot

old venture
#

I've officially had gray hairs more than half my life

bronze turret
tepid trellis
#

i dye my hair so i dont even know if i have grey hairs

old venture
bronze turret
#

ye i'm numb to stupidity

tepid trellis
old venture
tepid trellis
#

i think its tough just when my sister visits with her kid for 1 weekend

#

but i also dont do well with kids

bronze turret
#

its just one of those things, you learn to shut it out

worn ivy
#

In theory which spec you guys think we play in s2 m+ ?

tepid trellis
#

in low keys?

#

or do you mean season

#

ah

#

prolly assa/sub

#

depends on key scaling tbh

#

atleast early season

#

if shit dies too fast assa aint that great

worn ivy
#

There is no good 1:30 trinket

bronze turret
#

i mean, even if outlaw would be the de facto best spec, theres no way ur touching that dogshit

tepid trellis
#

well i wouldnt yeah

bronze turret
#

might as well quit wow if thats the case

tepid trellis
#

facts

rocky ocean
#

Outlaw because sub has no trinket and assa has no tier

tepid trellis
#

havent played it since i played with a broken arm

#

outlaw is never the answer

#

just reroll class

bronze turret
#

possibly the worst spec to play with a broken arm

old venture
#

how is stealthi physically older than all of us old men?

worn ivy
#

Too much apm needed

tepid trellis
#

cuz im dumb?

bronze turret
#

i have thicc bones

tepid trellis
#

ive got a thicc ass

worn ivy
#

Too much apm for this damage is crazy

tepid trellis
#

gotcha

bronze turret
#

played football for 18 years and never broke anything

old venture
alpine wraith
#

dont worry im more fucked up it just comes

old venture
#

I'm literally knocking on all the wood I can see

alpine wraith
#

you get used to it

old venture
alpine wraith
#

im actually glad you never had to suffer it

bronze turret
#

i think this is where being short comes in handy, shorter bones, less likely to break em

alpine wraith
#

well i've been ran over stabbed shot

tepid trellis
#

well you probably have the voice in your head going " hey adam thats not very smart what you are about to do, you might get hurt"

#

i dotn

bronze turret
#

built like a tank

alpine wraith
#

you name it

old venture
#

and the "I wonder how much it hurts to free fall 14 stories"

#

thought pops into my head

alpine wraith
#

think of the people that will have to clean it

#

then intrusive thoughs disappear

tepid trellis
#

"hey stealthi you dont have the balls to rail slide down this 20 stair"

old venture
#

what are they gonna do

tepid trellis
#

proceeds to t ry

old venture
#

bill my corpse?

tepid trellis
#

and break my tailbone

old venture
#

you have energy to do things

#

if you're just clinically depressed all the time

#

you have no energy

tepid trellis
#

i think since i got hurt doing so much dumb shit as a kid

dry plank
#

Stealthi true raccoon and have tail

tepid trellis
#

ive just got rid of the "fear" of getting hurt

old venture
#

brother

tepid trellis
#

and im also just perma unlucky

#

so i do get hurt alot

old venture
#

I hurt my back shoveling snow

#

and I've been wincing in pain for 3 days

#

laying down hurts

tepid trellis
#

i helped my dad with some wires few days ago

#

and my whole hand started bleeding

#

not sure i did it right

#

xD

old venture
#

I electrocuted myself a few weeks ago

#

that was pretty neat

tepid trellis
#

but hey our washing machine works now

keen dome
#

Was it the wiring or the blood sacrifice that fixed it, though?

old venture
#

yes

tepid trellis
#

we will never find out

old venture
tepid trellis
#

but i learned to not try and straighten out copper wires with my bare hands

old venture
#

another thing

tepid trellis
#

they sharp

old venture
#

for the future

tepid trellis
#

very pointy

old venture
#

don't try to straight out copper wires with bare hands while the electricity is still on

#

you're welcome

tepid trellis
#

dont think ill try that

old venture
#

I had a shooting pain in my left hand

#

for literally 2 weeks

tepid trellis
#

wet raccoon + electricity

#

doesent sound fun

#

(i was out in the snow before that)

old venture
#

I think you europeans have stronger voltage from your outlets too

#

you might die

tepid trellis
#

okay youve convinved me to try

old venture
#

Europe's electrical system is different from ours in two ways: the voltage of the current and the shape of the plug. American appliances run on 110 volts, while European appliances are 220 volts.

#

have fun!

tepid trellis
#

"a light tickle"

#

is what im reading there

#

i mean im dumb as shit

old venture
#

well I can tell you with certainty, unless you have heart issues, 110v won't kill you

tepid trellis
#

i used to touch voltage fences

#

for fun

old venture
#

but it fucking hurts

#

p sure voltage fences are way lower than 220v

#

or am I wrong

tepid trellis
#

yeah they are

#

way way lower

old venture
#

between 15 and 500 milliamps

tepid trellis
#

they are just scare cows / horses to not touch em again after doing it once

#

so they dont just try and jump em

old venture
#

15-20amp for US outlets

#

smol dif

tepid trellis
#

i used to terrorize people

#

id grab their hands and touch the fence

old venture
tepid trellis
#

LOL

plain jay
#

I can learn all types of things on this server, how to play rogue, don't touch copper wires with or without electricity with my bare hands

#

Euro appliance are different than us appliances with voltage

tepid trellis

New raid/season on the horizon

I am excited to Plunder tomorrow.

lilac stag
#

Island first for ring.

swift tinsel
#

Legit keep forgetting ring weekly is a thing

haughty mural
#

Is there catch up with the Ring ?

swift tinsel
#

The previous weekly ilvl upgrade quests become available right after doing the first one so you can catch up pretty quick

#

so like you start the one from the first week, finish it and then can start the next

#

they aren't very long at all, I think tomorrow will be the 4th upgrade for NA

mighty citrus
#

iam testing some stuff on a dummy. when i do opener, sometimes my vanish breaks, anyone knows why?

alpine wraith

swift tinsel
# tribal blade alright guys rogue notes tomorrow

ā€œIn fixing the tier set’s shadow damage amp we accidentally removed all shadow damage from the spec. Because we don’t actually care we’re just gonna leave that, laters šŸ‘‹ ā€œ

last bear
#

I’m so confused by these leveling guides

#

I’m just trying to figure out the talents for leveling

lilac stag
#

Use a character boost. Don’t actually level a rogue unless you really hate your life and want pain.

#

If you insist on leveling, Wowhead is shit on mobile. Open on desktop. There’s a talent color key.

dusky yew
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
rocky ocean
#

Gameplay until 30 is actually backstabbing and eviscerating
Without shadow craft
Without premeditation
Without energy refund on finishers

#

The apm is very close to assa st in M+

kind bluff
#

Do we want both daggers 639 or one crafted?

fallow nimbus
#

Yes

#

Dagger craft was/is the best possible craft because it's high itemlvl from the start and also embellishment slot

#

If you can easily get 2nd boss daggers then it might not be worth it

#

But you also would have 2 good weapons if 1 drops and you craft one

kind bluff
#

I just got double wep drops from second boss lol

#

And have crafted dagger

fallow nimbus
#

Sparks should drop a good amount and crest/flightstones are farmable, so just do it

haughty mural
#

@swift tinsel thx mate

steel zinc
#

I think next season 1 dagger has it

lilac stag
rocky ocean
#

btw if embelishments don't scale with ilvl, doesn't it force us to play new ones?
or if the new ones are on par with the previous then in s3 they are going to be like 0.00001% increase?

lilac stag
#

Some do scale, it’s just not a crazy amount.

vale pine
tribal blade
#

the game feels healthier with embels not being that good

#

considering how gated we are with crafting stuff

void hound
#

i like the ideas of embels but i hate pseudo choices

haughty mural
#

qol embelishments are great

#

like flavor pocket

keen dome
#

They're more fun than damage, but I like what they did to make flavour packet stuff more accessible with hearty food

keen dome
#

They should add some more flavourful or useful embelishments. Maybe one that massively boosts move speed in old content, or something. But I quite like they're all a bit shit this season (expansion?, who knows) and you can just use whatever.

vale pine
keen dome
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

the best one is duskthread and it is still like half the power of last expansion ones kekw

vestal escarp
#

Gm, dev notes?

hazy breach
#

Ye the 525 embellishments from df are stronger than current ones

tribal blade
#

i was actually thinking the other night about how BSL was stronger than our current embels

hazy breach
#

Yep

#

And not only percentage wise

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Just raw numbers wise it would be better to have the dragonflight 525 embellishment than the tww ones

tribal blade
#

in some ways i'm happy to have embels that aren't super impactful because it makes gearing less of a headache

#

but at the same time it's kind of like why do they even exist then

#

i think i'm over embellishments, i don't like em anymore

#

would like a new system

keen dome
#

Ye, they could remove them and it's whatever.

tulip gorge
#

They should rework embellishments to just have fun effects

keen dome
#

Agreed

#

Like i said earlier: legacy movespeed boots

#

bam

tulip gorge
#

Like increased movement speed, or being able to double jump

keen dome
#

Haha yeah

hexed sluice
#

I like gimmicky embellishments, so them being shit is nice for me cause now I can run stuff like the bumble bee buff allies one with out completely inting me

tribal blade
#

that could be cool, but they couldn't be too insane because then it would become this system where you only ever crafted 1 OP one

#

or you would craft the wrong one and then you couldn't do a boss fight the same as everyone else

keen dome
#

The idea of having a way to make a crafted item potentially have a cantrip on par with something non-crafted is cool. But the balance of it, nah.

keen dome
#

I think they should just become QoL / utility stuff.

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Flavour packet-esque, movement speed. Sew an augment rune into your gear, etc

#

Nothing that applies to Dam% or Survivability, etc. But just stuff that makes stuff easier or more convenient

tribal blade
#

like imagine you get to a boss and everyone has to zone out of the raid and recraft their gear to deal with a certain mechanic

keen dome
#

The potion tinker should be:

  1. Be an embellishment
  2. Not have the insanely stupid malus
hexed sluice
#

I am missing all the world content ones from DF that didn't really count as an embellishments, just a small bonus like the parachute, bandage amp etc

tulip gorge
#

I liked the embellishment that allowed your food buff to stay after death

keen dome
#

Yeah, flavour packet

tulip gorge
#

Just add stuff like that

keen dome
#

But they did the smart thing and bake that into cooking itself, which is the right call imho.

tribal blade
#

small stuff like that would be cool, but it would very quickly become a "who cares" system haha

keen dome
#

I think that's fine.

tribal blade
#

the novelty would wear off very quickly

hexed sluice
tribal blade
#

man i just want artifact weapons back

keen dome
#

One of the biggest requests from old content runners is movespeed. Which is why I think a movespeed in legacy content would be huge. Or letting you mount in instances below max, etc

tribal blade
#

i'm a big movespeed bandwagoner

#

i got a lot of flack during SL for gemming full move speed gems

#

like the pvpers did

keen dome
#

Also, you could take the bonus of different professions and make them an embellishment. I..e, you know how Alchemy has double potion duration? Make it an embellihsment so non-alchemists can make a choice there.

tribal blade
#

i got a lot of "why are you gemming speed, just get more damage"

#

and my thought process was i'm moving like 8-10% faster than you

keen dome
#

Yeah, movespeed owns

tribal blade
#

at all times

#

i like it

keen dome
#

It's always a shock going away from Sub to another class

#

And just being so slow

tribal blade
#

yeah people think move speed is overrated till you play something like a priest haha

tulip gorge
#

Rogue’s 1 second gcd is too addictive

tribal blade
#

1 sec gcd is a blessing and curse

keen dome
#

Movespeed means getting to, and away from, stuff quicker

#

Which is more uptime

tribal blade
#

i play with high ms anyways so more speed really helps

#

since you can't barely dodge things with higher ms

#

half my deaths and cheat procs from blades on queen are because of my ms

#

i'll barely dodge a blade and be safe on my screen, but the game says NOPE

kind bluff
#

What causes the delay on cps refunding, sometimes I hit a builder cause it refunds to 4 then right before it goes off it refunds to 7

hazy breach
#

It never refunds to 4, it always refunds to max

vestal escarp
#

!delay

hazy breach
#

But having replicating shadows specced makes it so the refunds can proc even when you didnt do a finisher right before

#

(if you get to 7 sht stacks that is)

tawdry meadow
#

How’s sub looking on the PTR,

hazy breach
#

No changes

#

So same as now

tribal blade
#

back to back sub classics

#

refund delays and no rogue dev notes

vestal escarp
#

Any day now the ritualposting will work

keen dome
#

This time next week we'll have big notes. I can feel it. In my replicating shadows.

upper narwhal
#

big notes = bugfixes please

keen dome
#

They'll take it literally. Size 500 notes. It's one word. "Nothing."

I don't think I even have a vault this week lol

I'm chasing two drops from vault, and it's just so fruitless haha

Also: ring upgrade quest live in EU early again. Prizes without having to do the dumb fill a bar quest tomorrow.

vale pine
#

na and eu get the ring upgrade at the same time, was always like this

keen dome
#

Yeah, I know it's been consistently like this but it could suddenly change, for some reason coup_de_grace

worn ivy
#

Any changes on PTR?

swift tinsel
#

Too early

#

PTR is usually evening iirc

minor aurora
#

been playing a lot of rogue (sub, obv) on the free trial, how is overall levelling with the spec in the full game? I haven't tried the others purely cause i really enjoy the quick burst sub offers

swift tinsel
#

evening NA*

keen dome
#

But the majority of the game is in the end-game, so leveling is a relatively short experience these days.

minor aurora
#

thinking of getting a membership for a month, sinking some more time into rogue after my mock exams - and sinking time into WoW in general

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Yeah I expect a lot of resources will be towards making sure plunderstorm is ready to go

#

maybe ptr update thurs

vale pine
#

is plunderstorm next week?

swift tinsel

today

hazy breach
#

Should be today

swift tinsel

Hell yeah

they just started ~30mins ago in NA

keen dome
#

Gonna get everything, again.

I think I played maybe two rounds the first time it was live lol

keen dome
#

I just did nothing but for a few days until I had the track finished and all achievements, etc

swift tinsel
#

battle royales just aren't really my jam

#

I don't have the pvp edge anymore

i guess i know what i do today/tomorrow ^^

keen dome

I'm pretty excited for it. I liked it enough the first time that i've often thought it'd be fun to just dive in

vale pine
#

okay chat, what is the highest simming plunderstorm build, i need to know

keen dome
#

Triple parrots and a slice of pineapple

sacred yarrow
#

I farmed rep through the quest/blunder method, avoided players like a plague

#

wonder if I can do that again

keen dome
#

Yeah, I suspect so

vale pine
#

i remember trying this and it felt horrible so i just went to try to play for first/second

keen dome
#

I'd land at the troll area or the hidden dock area, grind up, etc.

i done the math

They've made some changes, too. Curious how it'll feel.

Didnt ion talk about this recently

Are they doing anything about it

#

Yes and no

Its a shame 33% of the pve content is deleted because you play the wrong spec

Its not like swapping to assa really helps anyway
