plus it'll all probably be in the trading post at some point
The day the ah mount shows up on there I'll cackle myself into oblivion
i need to see how much i already have i only played a few games and had to just die in 2 of them because my gf needed something
It goes really quick. I just finished now. Every item bought again.
the plunder gain seems like later plunderstorm
Yeah, it does
oh, i am at 9k already, thats not bad for only like 10 or 20 minutes
Hell yeah
Yeah. I'm wondering (hoping) it's a sign they'll keep this system in the future and keep layering more rewards on top of it. And that's to stop people grinding 100k+ this time and immediately buying everything next.
(Although who cares if people do that, honestly)
This post is blue
Hell yeah, finally
fuu single handedly saving Sub again
8.5k heroic parses on Sub the last 2 weeks, 205k retribution parses 😮
sub was and probably is one if not the least palyed spec in the game
was def. in season 3/4 DF and most of season 1 TWW
you know what's more wild to me
sv hunter has almost double the parses of sub and outlaw combined (in mythic)
can't blame them tho, I play it myself and it's fun af
Bombs
A tad
Sin being easier and doing more damage kinda makes sub and outlaw a hard sell rn
can't do much if the development does design in a way to make you play the spec
Just going to tap the "We glow purple" sign until someone gives it a go.
sub is good, one other spec was just soo much better for the majority of time
giving nobody a reason to switch away
which is fine, devs want people to play it because its the simpler spec
sub is fun and numerical competing which is more than you could ever ask for ^^
I'd wish it was slightly better in aoe/m+ scenarios but absolutely no complaints for raid
Yeah it's decent in raid
Currently switching back and forth between sin and sub on court
bp is still a joke for how much of a trade off it is between aoe and st
Yep
Sin is just so much more chill, but also way less fun (for me)
Idk sub is more chill to me because i dont need to think about the mark
I just hit boss
True
But thats also what i progressed as because sin was sussy when we were there
Yeah it's less sussy now
Even though 2 minutes still don't feel great
Parses still favour sin tho
That's a big sell, void elf too
Our purple is cooler.
Eh not really, its about the same
Theres just several multitudes more people playing assa
which ones would you say it's better on
besides the obvious one like brood I guess
ovinax 100% better
and on the beetle juice
because you have soo much time in execute
beetle juice?
i'm sorry I'm a chud
you mean rash?
i mean the bug boss that starts at 40% or so health
its a early one so it does not matter
man, why do i get chased down with 0 skills, plunderstorm please
Have you tried landing better? 
details trolling
haha, i tried to do a nosedive
was simming my alt today and noticed this in the APL. why the fuck did it do this:
that's teh second dance on second flag
is it really better to send sectech on CD than it is to get it supercharged?
just weird robot thing?
symbols into shadowstrike, evisc, shadowstrike is crazy
Jfc that’s all we get?
I mean cool, but cmon
I feel like I scrolled for way too long for there to be a single rogue change
im surprised they went against the "theme of the ability"
I mean it does get people killed
i mean im pretty happy about this, probably wont be around to experience the non aids version of coup
but still happy its gone
A small W is better than no W at all
-Sun Tzu, Art of War
Definitely true
I just hope there’s some sort of massive rework in the pipes or something at this point because it feels like I really long time since we’ve had anything meaningful addressed
We just keep getting little qol handouts every now and then
he was too real for that one
Well there was a whole ass rework in 10.2.
Nevermind the fact that it was undercooked 
But it still happened
For sure
no more charge on coup 
I really should be used to it by now it’s been 20 years
Its not in the notes but surely theres bugfixes 
(im joking ofc theres no bugfixes)
i was starting to get worried. cope addiction is very serious

I legit could care less about the coup charge.... Is that really all we get?
1 change, rogue is saved
meanwhile mages reworked in 11.0 yet here we are
or enhance
Well ye theyre mages
litterally .5
xd
either way we're not in too bad a spot
I'd appreciate if they had an elegant fix for having to hold dance charges for blades
feels lame ngl
Some other QoL would be good, like Coup giving snd, replicating bug fixed and such
other than that aoe design for sub probably needs looking at if the only thing keeping it floating is flurry from trickster / repeated BP buffs
ever since the rework this spec has been sus in keys
Personally think having to use BP on 4 and 5 targets as trickster feels bad because of needing to apply find weakness
I much prefered it when you'd just evis till like 8 and then BP:ed only on mass aoe
both hero trees have issues in aoe gameplaywise
the way deathstalker plays out for sub in aoe sucks
so bad
it's either we ignore DN and spam bp or BP and do no aoe for that global
spatter fixes it for sin but we lack it
I dont think having to evis once for DN is that bad lol
I think the gameplay is fine
Its like backstab for flawless/nimble in aoe
But we did that with trickster and nobody complained
Well that's not pressing a ST button in aoe
But also, I didn't like that
Talking about pressing SS/BS for flawless form
functionally you could compare that to mutilating for spatter, it's just the way it works out / the payoff
doesn't feel anywhere near as good
doesn't hit those neurones
there's a better solution in a dev's mind in the future, im sure - just gota give it time
same as the day they uncap flurry
might be giga cope but I believe it will come
I just dont see it as a problem that needs solving rlly
It would feel significantly better if it buffed BP instead of Evis
Cause you'd be like "oh here it comes, boom!", instead of "guess ill have to use my stupid eviscerate now"
the joy of having a buffed BP nuking a bunch of aoe adds after sec tec would be glorious
Would admittedly make the strike-sectech-storm-BP better when it lines up
Like i agree its not horrible to need to eviscerate, but its just worse than if it wasnt there
So whats the point
how bout evis AND bp
so you can choose
UwU
Well ye thats what i mean
Wouldn’t hate if it was also 5+ cp instead of 7
been crying about that one since beta
I really like that its max only 
Idm that as much either, just sometimes feels bad to be at 6 and need to storm again, but i can live with that
but it should probs work on BP as well
Might be awkward with BP on where it then decides to reapply
Presumably your target, but ye
Probably not happening because of the whole "mark your target with singletarget spells" kind of vibe theyre going for
Yeh
the only thing I dislike about DS is how it feels really inconsistent to get 2nd sectec in the transmitter
but thats a transmitter problem not really ds yk]

oh is gloomblade becoming a thing again because of our tier set
Well ye on pure pure ST
oh yeah, i was thinking about the new tier
oh nvm
4 set is just shadow dmg in dance, not outside
How can you guys play with replicating shadows I tried and the CP delay was driving me nuts. I dont know what else to take instead of it though. (ST/cleave raid fights)
Y U P
I mean theres a bunch of bugs with it even without replicating 
take imp shadow techniques instead
But ye idk, surely they fix this 1 year old bug that feels horrible to play with
Just like how theyll surely fix the deathmark bug introduced at the start of the tier that also feels bad

Its been around for 1 year? Jeez.
Sub is genuinely very hard to play well/perfectly in keys now though
Since we do no damage outside cds you need to "know" when you can get away with using "extra" dances and when you cant
yeah it's a bit to think about
if you misjudge it you int your next cd set
which is really bad
i found by far the worst thing you can do is int symbols/dance cdr before next cd set
so it's better to play it safe with charges before next cd set, but then you're playing a game of doing tank damage for extended periods of time sometimes
I think my sectech/flag/sod/dance WA’s have like six triggers each to keep track of conditions of when it’s safe to send them lol
Heavy abuse of the return t[1] function
sub could do with a bit more simplifying
no cdr on dance would be nice
and then the only spell with cdr becomes sectec
I’d be cool with that
Between sod, dance and sectech I think dance is the one I think about the least atm
Esp now with supercharger
it's just an annoying thing of our entire rotation being dictated on the cdr of a spell that has horrible cdr
Then the whole Baking Blades into Dance thing would be better imo
and requiring high uptime
there's a lot they could do
my idea was they could make it so you can only press sectec in dance
works on a thematic level too, secret technique is so secret you can only do it in stealth
Have them replicate finishers after casting it for the duration of dance
Like our s3 tier set
But guaranteed
No way they could successfully code that to work though
there's a lot they could do if they decided to cast their light upon us 🙂
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
@tribal blade where are my pages of rogue changes?
don't worry, it's coming next week
kk
and then the week after that
and then the week after that
and then the week after that
etc etc
I’ll be waiting patiently
I am not a pvper but i decided since the look of our current tier is my favorite set ever and the fact that the elite pvp purple one is my favorite version of it, I'd try to get it. I got 1800 in solo shuffle and am so pumped rn. This is so cool.
I really like the mythic recolor
i have all the mythic one too i just like the dark grey and purple. screams sub to me!
all shadowy

gz
cringe
keep Sub hard
keep it inaccesible
fuck em
What are people pushing dps wise overall in dungeons atm as sub?
2M+ overall on all keys
with good play
max of like 2.5Mish
think I saw Eleem or Hacha do 2.6M
but that's REALLY pushing it
What's the thought process in keys? Send everything all the time?
considering how little sub does outside of cds don't sit on them too much
basically send your 90s on any target count
if it will live the full length
Sub gives a lot of value because of strong low target count damage
so your overall might be lower, but team timer is better
unless you're going into liek a giga pull obviously
depends on the dungeon and tank/group, but you should compete with other classes usually
Sub burst seems absolutely insane in keys, but mine is just an alt and probably won’t ever be geared enough to see myself, for high target count pulls like a vault 10’s (so you can pull the whole screen) in like SV or NW what classes beat us with CD’s? Shaman and unh? Boomie?
Or does it fall off way harder than I’m thinking when you’re pulling 15-20 mobs
ok hold on...
it's a good thing for sure
but the volume is lacking in a big way
that should be 1 line out of an entire paragraph
everyday i rant at least once about the design of coup de grac
cuz i forget that it does the dash mechanic, then i get mad when it kills me
Wasnt that the case for the last 3 Class Changes, where everything has like a long list
and rogue gets a 2-3 liner 
besides the anniversary changes it's been like that for a long time yeah
also the tuning has been pretty hilarious too
you can tell they put the minimal amount of thought into it and just did sweeping big number buffs
Yeah
Thats why im in the acceptance stage
of the Grief circle
the sub channel got memed on for the DS buffs in particular, but anyone who actually understands the position sub was in knew how obviously little they cooked it >_<
honestly i'm trying my best to not bring it up too much, but sometimes i just can't help it haha
need to VENT
shouldnt have been in the game without the tooltip info anyway imo
shouldnt have been in the game without the tooltip info anyway imo
good change
only bug i know is range related
but that one is irrelevant now, because we lost long arms
it seems like the second clone didnt hit/come out
Weekly update, Development node.
[2;34mTrickster:[0m
[2;36m• Coup de Grace now requires its target to be in melee range, and so no longer has a dash component when activated outside of regular melee range.[0m
```Source: [> Click here! <](<https://www.wowhead.com/news/january-15th-undermine-d-development-notes-class-changes-drive-delve-testing-363229?utm_source=discord-webhook>)
Overall a good change, it removes one of the few frustration points when playing the hero talent.
lets pin it for visibility
I hope they keep the animation
Lowkey
Its cool
U just couldn't see it unless you're at range LOl
the charge killed me a few times
did the RS bug stealth past dev notes this time aswell? that sneaky bastard
fair 
i bet the animation died with the charge now ?
i hope it removes the weird lockout/delay too
i dont think so
thats because of the multiple hits (and the dfa skeleton)
me thinks
for some reason slipped through the patch notes and game for the last year
we have a lot of nice features at this point ^^
^^ well played
i would have rather gotten bugfixes to refund delays, that bothers me more than the coup charge tbh
coup charge you can at least play around
refund delay you can't sadly
At least the charge isn't a feature anymore 
silver lining yeah 😉
I'm curious if it came about from people complaining, or smoeone playing Sub and dying to it
I read it as "no longer has a death component"
Coup de grace renamed to Tricky trickster eviscerate
"we dont want people to think about dying, and the name suggested that. Sorry about the charge..."
We got to make sure our enemies believe they will live if we hit them with that. Enemies are people too!
at last,coup becomes 50% less hated
still hated to infinity though
took them only like
3months(?)

my personal opinion is that the charge component was clearly an outlaw thing
Why is blizzard nerfing our mobility again?
Because they fear us.
Thats 100 too many in blizzards eyes.
such wow
Such wow, much rogue, much stealth, much fright.

Looking at the arena for the final boss in the new raid, I am sad we won't be yeeting ourselves down the hole.
"One last eviserate!"
Dead
The renown dinar thing from Undermine is so good. Absolutely checking off a wishlist shift in loot.
Hopefully it becomes a standard thing every season to just buy an up-to-iLevel cap item from the raid eventually.
thats a very good thing yeah,makes the game all the more attractive to ppl
imagine that IVE STILL havent seen a skadryns
never
they need to add a bad luck protection vendor,this is just disgusting
Absolutely
ive went all the way to 638ilvl with 100+ keys over 10s,still no trinket
Adding a renown track for M+ too that has a similar currency would be fantastic.
So you could have 4 deterministic Myth-quality items each season eventually
Would be huuuuuge, esp if it's per character
Not sure how long it'll take to get them, though. It's late in the renown track. Probably month 2 of the patch if you do it weekly? Maybe 3?
but that's still, like. A huge improvement.
hmm, unsure if i want to play some more plunderstorm
Game is saving you from trying to play assa.
I wish I could give people Skardyns
The game is determined to give me them. Please, anything else. Mr. Lootrng
ive played most keys as assa,now ive swapped to sub coz all my gear is sub,no downside
thing is ive wasted months of my life trying to be ''optimal'' and ''reasonable'' but the game kept raising the middle finger
now its me raising that mfk@r back
you would be getting that dinar in a week or 2, so you still wouldnt have it if we had dinars in current season
It's still an improvement, though
Like, even if it's coming late (it is coming later than I'd like) it's still better than the current season's approach. That's good.
i mean its better than nothing thats true
i still dont have transmitter so i just dont even play sub
maybe just give it a month sooner
so like if we got it mid december or smth like that
thats 3 and a half months into the season?
so do i not understand how math works or what. how could human possibly sim same as night elf when human dmg racial is 2% of all stats and night elf 1% of crit or haste
i think that would be alright 
Ye
I'd say it should be a token every month or so in an ideal setting.
That'd be, imo, the ideal 'cadence' for this kind of deterministic system.
But, hopefully, they listen to feedback on it coming a bit too slow.
It's interesting that we get damage buffs and stuff way earlier, though.
hmm every month sounds a bit too much, atleast if we start from month 1
because racials for dmg are whatever

could check the apl why,this is a Dslice i suppose?
Maybe? It's hard to know for sure and I'd rather err towards "a bit much" than "not enough" if that makes sense? But since it's one item, it'd probably be fine enough. Maybe every other month.
hmm
'Cos like you say: transmitter haha
nothing special
i just dont understand how they acn be the same
should be a clear difference
maybe lord @vale pine has some insight
id say start first month with a hc piece (because many people arent even close to killing kyveza or court that soon, so just giving them the myth track trinket so soon would be meh imo)
and month 2 onwards can give myth track
You'd still have to upgrade it, etc. I dunno, I think it's fine. It's bracketless track.
I firmly believe WoW would be better if they got rid of loot brackets for upgrading in general, and simply let you take any drop to iLevel cap eventually with the currency.
as long as i dont get it after i almost quit twice its going in a good direction 
haha, yeah
facts, well maybe keep a few tracks still only for vault or myth raid so you get an incentive
but not 13 like it currently is
maybe, 6-7
They'd just drop at higher iLevel, imo
whats the question?
possible, but you wouldnt be as interested in opening your vault at that point
and imagine doing lfr, getting transmitter and upgrading it to 639 with only spamming 7s
human gives a stat bonus, stats are good -> human is good
how does human and night elf sime exact same
when human gives more stats
night elf less
Yeah, it's a good point and I don't have a good answer, really. Ultimately it demonstrates the failure of the vault haha
probably error tollerance
you can sim with lower target error
also night elf has additional benefits from the extra stealth/shadowstrike
why nelf sims the same as human
yap, and i dont think a vault redesign is gonna happen any time soon, so it giving max track items or whatever is good, just make it less annoying if you dont get your skardyns for example after 15 weeks of filling vault with 10s
its negligible ik but just to get an answer to the man's question
Yeah, absolutely
ye im not planning on swapping i was just curious
already answered ^^
iterations=100000
^ put that on top in your advanced sim
should lower the target error, but also it likely won't change the outcome much
I’m sorry someone hurt you so badly that you felt the need to play assa.
yes im whoring between rogue specs(besides outlaw ive got some self respect)
😂
i had fun playing 20 mins of plunderstorm yesterday
probably will play another 20-30 mins today to get enough plunder for the rewards
and go back to not plaiyng it ^^
im playing my orc now and my mage a bit but ye,might try classic idk
retail is sht atm
classic became a streamer chatroom and one of the biggest soap operas in existence
(not saying that its not enteratining to observe)
It's very funny
i think the current piratesoftware drama is a bit unhinged, people rly need to touch grass.
But the dramas before with e.g. sending tyler1 on a tank and be like "what can go wrong if somone unexperienced tanks first time in hardcore in difficult content" had entertainment value.
ive eaten some chips while watching the warchief best of 9 duel
lol, the duel was very funny. I've barely followed it but even I had to tune in.
but its nice, the classic established a completely diffrent audience of players and is a experience you either like or hate.
It really is a soap opera, you are right
Haha
u know,get back to mc,get perditions blade,craft TF
Oooh, that's why it's such a good soap opera. It's full of boomers 
someone in my guild said the exact same thing about people needing to touch grass
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah he's being stubborn and a bit of a moron, but people are blowing this WAY out of proportion
and the streamers are making it a massive deal because it's so much free content for them
people keep sending death threads over a youtuber making a mistake in hardcore.
It is mostly to stir drama it seems, the classic audience is extremely toxic...
He's also doing that, too. He's farming the content himself instead of just.. touching grass. He's also blowing it out of proportion but that's what he does. People are being gross and taking it too far and actually harassing him though
death threats over a video game is so crazy
it is just blown out of propotions, being mad that a streamer pussied out to not lose his hardcore character is fine
but there is just a point it moves away from that and gets into a dangerous territory, and it seems to be there
Ye
my nickname in my guild disc right now btw
Haha
Part of it is that he's successfully undermined a lot of his online 'bravado' and people are figuring out he's an intense, immense bullshitter incapable of not doubling down. And some other dodgy stuff, but like. Death threats, nah, too much. Just laugh and then ignore the guy.
wait why are there feet
FEET LORE
hmm
lmao
I respect going fully into the bit
haha, thats so funny
our RL is the brain
dude my guild is really fun, i've been in this guild for 5 years now
we have so much fun together, it's constant jokes
Extremely blessed
i got offered to trial for a HoF guild and turned it down
because i don't want to leave my guild
also i don't want to get that sweaty with raiding
i'm happy being in a CE guild that sometimes accidently gets HoF
fun is the most important thing
btw here is our casual rank in guild
progression is second
it really is
Yeah, it is. Being in a good community is so key, imo.
I'd love to do higher content. But leaving the guild I've been in for 10+ years? nope, never happening. Good community -> all
i feel that 😉
you guys could probably do at least the first 2 on mythic i think
although the first boss is strangely a long fight for a 1st boss of the raid
not sure what kill times look for it now, but iirc it was something close to a 10 min fight at the start of the tier
Yeah, we could probably do 4/8 honestly but it's the organizing aspect.
Just cannot be bothered to do that again, haha. Flex is nice 'cos it doesn't matter.
We tried pretty hard to do it in BfA, Nazjatar. Multiple times we'd have 22 - 24 people signed and then 18 would show up, haha.
And we weren't good enough to underman the content, so it just became extremely frustrating. The organizational work that goes into running a Mythic guild well is massive.
I did my hardcore organization when we were a 25-man guild
common fuu W take
Human doesnt give you flat 2% percentages of every stat. It gives you 2% more from stats on gear. So while nelf brings your crit/haste from 30 to 31% human instead brings your 10000 points of stats to 10200
Which roughly ends up being the same amount of stats as it requires to get 1% crit or haste like nelf does
Imagine if VE actually worked
any day now
Looks like i was right with the 16 notes for all of ptr
damn
Atleast no more accidental coup deaths
idk friends, i gave it a whirl in a couple dungeons and sat at the dummy for an hour
its interesting
seems like it would be fun in raid, but in m+ i feel like i give up so much switching from sin

i think i've gotten way too used to iron wire lmao
weak
most sin rogues don't really run iron wire in keys anymore
considering you can pick up some pretty high impact talents dropping iron wire
im really only considering vault keys with pugs
they might still run IW for some dungeons like SV and GB, but i haven't been keeping up
it solves a lot of pug's issues
Ye GB without IW is just painful
Turns out being able to silence a pack for the first 15 seconds of the pull and then another 15s every vanish
Is pretty good
but i could really see myself giving season 2 raid a shot as sub, im just not sure about keys
yeah the casts in GB are crazy
i'm happy blizz is going in the direction of making M+ in general easier
Like the golem packs never even gets a cast of when youre playing iron wire
If you werent you'd be sweating trying to stop everything
i also liked running iron wire in NW
but every dungeon besides those 3 it doesn't feel neccessary
Its pretty good in keys, even now. Its just not as good as assa
piloted well sub is actually quite strong
and theres no reason to believe it might change for season 2 right?
Since every route is based on pulling big with enhance cooldowns having cooldowns that doesnt line up with those 2 mins makes it a bit rough
When you do no damage outside cooldowns like sub does
well sub auto losing 1.5 min high impact trinket off the bat
Assa set also stinks while subs is really good, especially for keys
Rocking up to a pull with coup ready and 10 stacks of tier
is sub's good in keys because you can actually rupture spread between dances
Means the pack is gonna evaporate
since it's rupture spamming to maintain the 10 stack
so anyone tried Sub in the PTR yet? 😄
oh
fixing the tier set is gonna be sub's dev time
i think i need to run a few more dungeons as sub
it can get awkward because of cds
because since you do literally nothing outside cds you can't hold stuff too long
but if you do need to hold cds because the pack is gonna not live long enough or you need em for something coming up
you can send an extra dance/symbols to help kill stuff off
im getting the hang of the cd's, just knowing when to pool to have 2 dances up for flag/blades
BUT if you mess up with how much time you thought you would have, you'll int your cdr and charges for next cd set
erring on the side of caution is usually better
correct?
you want to sectec 1st finisher as trickster
ohh okay
you can do evis as 1st finisher if you want to if sectec has like ~10-12 secs left on cd
since the 1st evis will reduce sectec's cd by 10 seconds cast at full CPs
yeah ive noticed that timing as well
and if coup is up you can cast that as first finisher in dance when sectec has around 15-17 secs left on cd
the only thing im confused about is the multi target opener on fuu's guide, spreads bleeds then blows cds and starts evis
rather than black powder
it does with nimble flurry
ahh ok
nimble flurry is active when you have flawless form up
btw i wouldn't bother with spreading rupture much
if you're going into a pack with all your cds up
it was a good habit to have, but considering how fast packs die now it's not really as worth as before
more worth to get full value of your cds
if you're doing weekly 10s and packs evaporate quick there's not much point casting rupture expect for 1 with your finisher after you cast flag
BUT if stuff is gonna live a while rupture spreading very good
yea makes sense
BP is also doing way more dam than before too though
the aggressive rupture spreading was more of a thing when BP was going 55% less damage lol
what procs nimble flurry again?
unseen blade gives you flawless form
and flawless form gives you nimble flurry as long as it's up
so i'd recommend to get a WA to track flawless form
zac's tracks it i've noticed
oh sectec gives flawless too
i dont see how u play around it though, if unseen blade just happens naturally
while playing the spec
in aoe outside dance you're spamming storm to build right
so you'll naturally have moments where you drop flawless form
since UB doesn't proc off storm
ahhh yep i see now
so in that case you can backstab till you get it back up
it's not as much of an issue as before considering sub is able to dance more frequently now so you'll be maintain flawless quite naturally
kinda like the occasional mut to maintain spatter
but it'll drop
much more painful sadly 😦
no way to know if you'll actually proc it, but chances are good you will
but you can be in a situation where you're spamming backstab multiple times and it's not reset
Unless youre at eviscerating number of targets it doesnt actually matter
xD
is it actually alright to let it drop in mass aoe?
i never actually double checked that
if ur using black powder anyway?
Its incredibly minor to begin with, so ye
for 5+ targets yeah
also is it normal to be energy starved
very much so yes
or am i not pooling when i need to
kk
ive caught myself energy staved in a dance window though
so i probably did something wrong
Did you dance without symbols
if you dance without symbols, you're gonna have a bad time
not sure, i dont think i ever dance without a symbols up
I have, 0/10 do not recommend
i also dont dance/symbols without a sectec ready
or ready within 1 finisher
is that the basic rule of thumb?
i also noticed symbols lasts longer than dance does, if u want to dance again immediately after, do u wait for symbols to fall off first?
or do u utilize the energy and symbols again
for the next dance
You wouldn't want to dance without st
Outside of flag window
I think eleem has a graphic of how it works on icy veins or maybe stealthi on method guide
One of them has the cadence on where/when dance and symbols go
kk ill have to check after work
I see the sim doing a lot of symbols/dance into finisher into sectec when sectec still has cd left
So "sectec" first isn't like 100% of a must outside of flag/blades
Or am I getting that wrong?
Sim might be bug abusing
Wdym bug? It's just using the first finisher to reduce sectec's cd?
Or am I missing sth?
You'd still symbols again because you need sectech to be supercharged
If its less than 10s left so you still get it supercharged its fine
During your non flag ones ye
gotcha thats what i was doing
Do you chain dance inside pandemic window to keep macabre stacks going or do they reset with second dance?
They reset
Dance dance dance
Ah ur right I'm dumb

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Niceeee
indeed
Thank God it's gone but I'll miss it cause it killed me in some pretty funny ways
I was doing a web on silken and I coup'd the small guy right when he jumped. Made me dash across the room and we died cause no web
is void reaper hc on off hand better than any max level dagger?
Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.
Worse than a ilvl 1 dagger 
ah LMAO
i was about to ask for outlaw 😄
I think dagger in oh for outlaw is only a min max
Dagger looks cooler 
Do you guys know if focusing lens interacts with deeper daggers?
or any other shadow related?
stuff
Nop
Only thing is lingering darkness in deathstalker, but thats a bug
Theyve clearly stated before that they dont want items interacting with class talents/passives so anytime they do its considered a bug
hmm
Necklace and cape is best thing to craft for focusing lens right so i can wear better ilvl also i think u cannot craft versa on neck but you can craft focusing lens
Can probably craft whatever you want, embellishments are incosequential as shit
Wdym you can't craft versa on neck?
The embellishments this season are genuinely worse than last season of dragonflight.
In dragonflight you got like 1350 stats from your lining embellishment, now we get 750
You canot craft on neck versa embalishment
Any Siphoning Stiletto gamers? 
this sounded so stupid to me back then, still does. like theyre all about immersion and themes and fantasy, and then your class fantasy of being a shadowy assassin means u dont interact with shadowy items
like legit hypocrocy everywhere
to be fair our shadowy talents don't even interact properly
thats not really the point of it though
its the idea that they wanted to remove anything from workign with these
havoc had a lot of interactions
and they all got gutted as well (except the bugged ones like their crit bonuses)
like whats the point of removing all these interactions? to further reduce peoples excitements for unique items that interact well with their kit?
because you couldnt balance the items for the specs? whats wrong with specs having amazing items to chase?
instead of awful and boring and non consequential 0.1% incremental gains
Even from a balance standpoint, they weren't ever SUPER insane, right? Really nice, but it created diversity of gearing and chase items for specifc classes, but never to the extent one of the items was game-breaking, iirc? And even if they were, you could balance that item itself rather than cull the interactions.
Bring the cool stuff back
i think it was intra spec variance not cross spec variance
That'd make more sense, yeah
Idk my guess is they want to be able to look at those kinds of things in a vacuum without taking into consideration how it affects specs differently but then you lose all flavor like Armin said
^ but why
i think its because it meant they were tuning specs around these items and their interactions with them
I'm all for fun flavor
and the floor between very optimized and non optimized was high
but thats the entire point of an MMO
mmo is just a time sink to chase items
the less chase you ahve to do , the less desire you have to play the game
if the floor and ceiling of my spec is 3% i cant care less
Plus then you lose the payoff of getting it, but its also a bit of a double edged sword bc you feel bad not having it
Like having vs not having transmitter
like who here has looked at ptr items?
if you take away the "funny names" of the items
I had a look over some, and outside of some funny names.. yeah
is there a single item youre excited to chase for?
Oh they're super lame
is there a single item youre like super happy to get?
Not for mechanical purposes, nope.
I've been testing out each of them and zero have any interesting gameplay
Goon squad is the only interesting one and I use that term loosely
thats my whole point. an MMO without an interesting chase or grind is not an MMO
its a raid simulator
because the npc interactions change based on st vs aoe
No good trinkets, no cantrip dagger
tier set is largely meh gameplay wise
FF14 loot, imo
and potentially encourages degen play
It's all flat statsticks.
im probably fully done with wow until atleast midnight, but I am interested in seeing how I can optimize gameplay around tier for you guys still playing
Once its in sims ill start working on it
hero. I appreciate your effort, and the other TC's.
Yeah I'm not feeling too compelled to put in much effort this season but I'm happy to figure out proc/reset mechanics, rates, etc
Eleem, Fuu and I already discussed some interesting ideas for how to play with the tier
basically spent a day just doing openers to see how often it procs in vs out of dance and cd's
unfortunately they may not be very positive gameplay loops but theres optimization around them to be done properly
its jsut 10 rppm
roughly every 6 seconds
in dance it gives you x2 stacks
yea you will just refresh rupture rn
and sometimes only 2 stacks for all of your cd window
maybe
pretty sure theres a threshold where you would rupture or evis
like a stack threshold
my guess is 3-4 stacks
maybe if is a coup or DN evis
2-3 pretty much guarantees 10 stacks for 2nd sectech, if not the whole latter half of flag
it is worth to rist at x stacks
so 3-4 makes sense
- im almost 100% sure theyre bugged with tier right now
- yea its gonna be a nightmare
i also wonder if DB becomes more powerful
since more shadow damage
rupture stonks
Oooh, DB. Hell yeah
well not really
I was wondering if there'd be something there, with the Shadow tierset bit
yeah a world where db is the play is way less interesting
you woudl be giving up fun gameplay and resources for passive damage and fewer gameplay impacting decisions
would be full sail on DS I'd guess bc you're losing dance/sectech uptime from less supercharger
i cant remember but db builds are already like 4% ish behind
something like that iirc
more shadow damage might make it closer
Only allowed to have fun gameplay 1 season every 3 expansions.
we'll see what the robot says
are you? a 45% buff to the most boring dogshit passive parts of DS tree suggests u cant even have 1
maybe a few weeks/months of one
well. Those of use still playing are playing fun in spite of blizzard and Mr Robot.
fair enough
"Why aren't people playing Deathstalker?" "It's less fun" "Oh, we're gonna buff BP to fix that"
they’re going to remove coup charge and watch it some how effect the dmg
"and here's autoattack damage that does way more than most of your abilities"
wouldn't be surprised if it brings back the animation/gcd lock bc why not
I also haven’t touched my rogue except for raid. Just chilling on warrior.
funny thing is coup officially has no animation
it only had a visible animation if cast from ranged
it has an animation it just is conditional. At range and no key spamming. Gg bliz
Only took us 5 months to learn about it.
and you can still stutter yourself out of every attack animation anyways
true immersion
i had a trial with a world 100 guild last tuesday, it went well and was fun. Then it hit me that I just straight up am not enjoying wow anymore. So i unsub once plunderstorm goes away. Maybe midnights fun and I try again
Quality spec development. Inform rogue community via a tweet that their hero ability has an animation. 
"is supposed to have an animation"
Good for you. I’m teetering, but I really like my guild.
I’m over rogue at this point.
Having a taste of fun for a month to get shit on again. Nope no nadda.
Ive just been playing tft and league and its fun
my goal is GM on both this year
next year we go chally
Damn, GM? Hell yeah, hope you do it, that's a big achievement
i hit 200lp masters last season on both
league?? fun???
im not too far off

Nice
need like 250 more lp on both
its pretty fun idk
League is just a little too toxic for me
specially while u can duo for now
Assa players don’t get to dictate fun in here.
u can just mute people and play
please remove the stick from ur ass
I’m genuinely happy for you @pliant topaz Now it’s time to cook, literally. 

But if it's fun for you that's great
eh, Ive learned communicating outside of ping just isnt good
it slows down your tempo
doesnt offer solutions
and slows down your teams tempo
Yeah not too productive in general
i played a lot of league last year but sort of stopped when that anti cheat came out
And vc would end up like cod lobbies haha
over time i just got more frustrated with the game, i wish i didn't
cuz it can be fun
ty ty >3
❤️
Such an amazing slam. You’re the fucking coolest man.
Ive learned something pretty simple from my recent climb
the gmae frustrates the fuck out of you
if you look at your team mates plays/ performance
Nope. Judging based on your previous messages. 
judge my man having fun. Get judged.
you need to only looks at yours, see what you coulda done better
generally u win 33% of games without doiung anything
u lose 33% with nothing u coulda done
it was a joke
doggo time and chili cooking time.
then the other 33% u can impact the state of the game, u cna carry most of them. if u carry more than 50% of those 33% u turbo climb with good mmr
to do that, u need to look at your performance, your impact, your decisions
yea that makes sense
at the end of the day, it all took was for 1 in 20 games in a day to go south
and then my mood was ruined the rest of the day
even if the other 19 games were good

yeah and thats a pretty cmmon thing
somehow league teaches u an important life lesson
as weird as it sounds
theres things in life yhou cant control
if you get tilted cuz it rined 3 days in a row, youre gonna have a rough life
teaches you even in life, you need to look at the decisions youre making, and how theyre impacting your life and situation
another thing I learned from league climb, is that have 2 accounts. on my main if i lose 2 games in a row i swap to my other account and play for fun
even if I dont think imtilted, when i go abck and look at my play after 2 losses, i notice im fucking up alot
im playing more aggro than i should, taking more risk than I sould, and i dont notice it
yea thats one thing i never got around to doing was a 2nd account
either that or play norms
basically 2 back to back losses and youre done for the day
shrimple
Yeah kind of a weird thing your brain does
yeah ladder anxiety for me also came from me wanting to climb, instead of wanting to improve
Trying to make up for something in a previous game
specially when I got to d1 I was like oh masters spooky i dont wanna lose etcetc
Kinda senseless, but you tend to overcompensate and play worse
but then Im like, the goal is C1 not masters, i need to learn to get better, every game I play i can learn, so you play
Weird haha
yeah league straight up resembles life
yeah i definitely underform with pressure
underperform*
but oddly not in mythic raiding
i guess thats more competitive pve rather than pvp
i think its because in raid you wipe then go again. u dont lose lp, your decisions dont really matter etc
you pull 200 times u kill boss
Completely unrelated question: how long does it take to get the debuff on silken?
What debuff
Mark
Like when you soak an orb?
Nah, at the beginning
Oh a couple of seconds or so
Like 1-2
A lot of ranged go in and then out pretty much immediately
yeah, also I think league is generally much harder and more stressful than pve raiding
champs are harder to play optimally than any spec in wow
its pvp so inherently its harder to play around people rather than a scripted fight
and right now with how snowbally the game has become, a small mistake could instnatly lose u the game even 5 minutes in the game
1 bad fight at grubs could instally be over, its really stressful whereas often even if u die u just get brezed
yea thats one thing ive noticed is its gotten pretty punishing
yeah its a double edge sword, if youre good you can abuse it, but also your team can throw more often outside of your control s eh
the cognitive load of league is also insane once you get to a certain level that wow could never touch
like moment-to-moment
some1 explain
if im horde u cant whisper alliance wtf i thought he just shittalked and DC'd
nope its gated
could be that too
Only when inside the dungeon
but yeah^
Imagine responding to bait
But ye bro could just be missing his glasses too
LMAO
i called him bc he had 1 interrupt then i had to google if druids can interrupt just to be sure
I agree, its really hard sometimes. I started vod reviewing pro games to see how the midlaners are playing, and its like, sometimes the decision makings are so hard, like I woulda never made that decision. what makes it harder is that theres no feedback fro you to learn. you cannot know if that deicison was good
They can. Just a very long CD
like i watched knight on LB vs G2, and he does a tp instead of pushing top, gets isntantly chunked, misses everything and W/ R-w's out and runs away. but if he hadnt tp'd maybe they would collapsed on his team. but also maybe not, mnaybe he coulda pressured top
its hard to know
It’s different though in solo queue versus pro play, yeah?
1 minute isny very ong ot be fair
i see druids often instnatly beaming the pack on pull and they say yteah i already interrupted sry cant help time to dps
Yeah, but compared to melee 15 seconds
But yeah, that excuse isn’t acceptable for not kicking
oh yeah its really different, you really get to play aroud your strong side, like if your botside is stronger u can see both these mofos at grubz levle 5 while enemy adc at bot because they know they cant contest
but in solo q im trying to play around my strong side and these motherfuckers are running it tjhe fuck down
One GCD for damage prevented
like I legit had to explain to my 160 LP masters garen toplane, that I infact will not be helping his 0/5 ass vs a 5/0 gwen as LB when the 4/0 enemy jungler is also sitting top. And that in fact I will be playing around my 12/2 bot side
and then my adc said are you boosting his dumbass?
cinema
It seems like early game in solo queue, since that’ll get you ahead and build confidence in your teammates in you. But I’d be hesitant beyond that because of poor mid-late game decision making
it depends kinda, like most games end by 20-30 min mark
so you dont really get to late game
most games are just own through skrimishes and early mid pressure
aerly game isnt as big as you think either, because 1 bad fight at an objective and its over
ive thrown so many games like that, and Ive won so many games like that
instead of donating to charity i kidney a cast and sacrifice an evisc
Fair. Haven’t seen how fast solo w games have been going recently. I guess I was just referring to getting into fights they shouldn’t be or taking unnecessary risks with the info given
100% youre right
the thing im seeing hte most right now even in GM lobbies is people taking fights theyre going to lose because its an objective fight
like you can just pressure an objective and force them to respond and send like their toplaner to take it, which means they lose like 3 waves top, 2 waves mid, and 2 t2s
but instead, the team forces a fight, loses all waves, the dragon, 4 kills, summs for free
Yup
as dopa (probably the greatest soloq player of all time) said, just play selfishly if your teams making these mistakes, make the correct play yourself
it doesnt help if u die with them, take the tower, burn the waves
this seaosn i think im 2 tricking zed/akali
i like the assassin theme and the ionia theme
as well as their gameplays and the skill expression on both
Akali seems strong for the higher ELOs
theyre both really strong, and i prefer zed, but if we dont have a lot of AP im noticing my impact as zed is a lot less
you get super punished by armor
3 days ago I super tilted because I played 7 games (forced zed every game) and went against 4 malphite mids, 2 ksante mids, and a chogath mid
Yup
won 5 but also wanted ot punch my monitor
yea. Do you sitll play league/
I might get back into it again this season. Not playing as much soccer means need some competitive way scratch that itch
its fun, seasons kinda cool
Yeah, been following the changes. They definitely seem interesting
also its pretty cool how season been out for like a week and we've had 3 patchnotes so far LOL
