i mean it is more dmg what pad

worn ivy
#

Did u watch the opener i do ? @alpine wraith

alpine wraith
#

nah im going to shower

#

might do after

worn ivy
#

ye maybe elem tells me if im doing it wrong

#

@hazy breach brother can u watch this and telll me if im doing wrong opener

#

i know i missed 1 gcd on Coup

#

but in general

uneven scarab
#

Looks fine to me but i think you want cold blood on ur second sectech in opener

fallow nimbus
#

Coup is rng, you get 2 stacks after sectec, that means you get atleast 1 coup guaranteed inside cds

pliant topaz
#

i thought they fixed this in 11.0. funny af that they broke it for GB though LMFAO classic. fix the positive bug, ad a negative bug back in peak blizzard

hazy breach
#

They fixed it working without having the talent in 11.0

pliant topaz
#

oh yeah thats what htey fixed. good thing they keep making it more and more aids!

#

my blizzard, my devs ❤️

hazy breach
#

Not that it particularly matters

#

Its like a 0.8-1% talent

#

And thats including the crit

pliant topaz
#

its just funny that they broke it for GB

hazy breach
#

And if we end up preserving our tier set stacks its even less

worn ivy
#

I do like this SS - FLAG + (On Use) - EVIS - VANISH - SS - RUPTURE - DANCE SYMBOLS CB Sectech- Storm - BP - Evis (If coupe) otherwise BP than SS

pliant topaz
worn ivy
#

i forgot shadow blades

#

this was trickster

#

deathstalker is completly different im doing

#

maybe thats also wrong 😄

#

can i show?

#

im trying to learn tbh coz trickster iwas doing wrong all time

bleak wind
#

@worn ivy you could've used symbols when sec tech was on 10sec cd and then you would have your second sectech inside your transmitter as well

worn ivy
#

but i lose blue point

#

sectech

#

if i do that no ?

bleak wind
#

you have 2 charges of it, first one goes to bp second one to sectech

worn ivy
#

really need to know if im doing something wrong

#

maybe brother @vale pine coach me for free

slate lantern
worn ivy
#

Yes going for #1 sub rogue in M+

#

gonna take this russian boi down

alpine wraith
#

best of luck

bleak wind
#

strike after the vanish is probably better as trickster and try to time your transmitter so you activate it just before your first sec tech, that is more of a thing for deathstalker since its tighter there and the thing I already mentioned about fitting your second sec tech inside the transmitter, but I guess those are more minor

slate lantern
worn ivy
#

i dont agree with this

#

you alway ask rogue discord

twilit phoenix
#

I bet that russian dude doesn’t even use disc

His country is in wartime bro

You’re not beating him

worn ivy
#

they play like mw ele sub dk

#

all physical

#

unholy dk mw ele

alpine wraith

like they should sub rogue power

all the buffs for us

#

#

warr monk ele druid rogue ez

or enha instead of ele

#

and monk heals and druid boomkin idk

vestal escarp

thats why

#

some dungeons u need range bro to bait mechanics

willow pawn
#

whats rank 1 for sub rogue? Like 3050?

#

3100?

worn ivy
#

3.5 😄 😄 😄

#

coz its really hard

willow pawn
#

Or is it actually decent in keys

#

oh

vestal escarp
#

about three fiddy

worn ivy
#

you legit play on hardmode

twilit phoenix
#

That russian dude is cranking bro

willow pawn
#

do we still stack mastery/vers

worn ivy
#

i mean if i was playing assa i would play #1 keys right

#

like in BFA

#

but who wanna play that booring spec

#

i sit in que everyday 5-6hr to play 2hr

slate lantern
#

Don’t break an arm jerking yourself off there bro

willow pawn
#

i mean. If you played assa and pugging youd still be in que everyday 5-6 hrs

#

i dont think spec matters

worn ivy
#

it matters

#

i didnt start playing yesterday brother

willow pawn
#

nah if you play enh/aug/sub youd be doing r1 keys rn with a group

#

i believe

twilit phoenix
#

Nah bro trust I can do r1 keys on my feral druid

willow pawn
#

i watch your stream rn

slate lantern
worn ivy
#

i crack the code i will sign as assa

#

than swap sub just before key starts xD

dry plank
alpine wraith
#

it does fine actually they kinda pop things on cd for uptime now

#

just other specs are way better

#

baseline

worn ivy
#

3x DPS comps better for sub

dry plank
#

No it is not man

#

Try it out and you’ll be surprised

alpine wraith
#

ye 3x dps for more dps buffs

worn ivy
#

it is trust me

alpine wraith
#

i wont be surprised because they suck for me always

worn ivy
#

3x dps

alpine wraith
#

im a lizarist

hazy breach
#

Which enhance isnt

#

If you had like an outlaw/assa type spec that always had cds+aug+sub it would be fine

alpine wraith

you need to outplay your enemies and teammates

so you ramp

He’s gaining the mental fortitude to deal with the shit blizzard shoves down rogue’s throat.

So you are telling me, that I can become rank 1 sub rogue in Draenor by pugging? 😮

jaunty heath
#

Yes you can

pliant topaz
# hazy breach Not sure youre gaining IQ by playing league

nah ive ascended. I have a better understanding of human psyche now than ever. you think league is a game of strategy and skill, but its all psychology. simply roam botlane, perma camp the enemy draven, he will afk at 7 minutes. thats how u win.

lilac stag
jaunty heath
#

Does feral have more players nowadays than sub, and in players id mean people that do endgame content

#

Of course there’s millions of druids outside of that

Yes

it frees you from petty things that makes you angry

you understand the meaning of life

#

Im just vibing playing the bazaar

alpine wraith
#

more people should try WC3 or SC or SC2 pvp

hazy breach
#

Game goes hard

swift tinsel
#

idek the last rogue key I ran

hazy breach
#

Very chill

alpine wraith
#

that one helps you purge all bad things

#

ah i like seeing kripp play bazaar

pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

i might also play it when it releases

still trellis
alpine wraith
#

everyone does but the most sweaty people

lilac stag
still trellis
#

i did the story like 10 times already, but i just suck at that game dracthyr_kek

alpine wraith
#

2 min matches

#

getting ran over

#

you have like 4 dudes and they go at you with like 50

still trellis
#

2 minutes into im happy to have placed a new base

vale pine
still trellis
#

they have 3 bases, almost at unit cap and a drop on my drones

#

(im exaggerating but you get it)

alpine wraith
#

should have also bough zonhya

#

that rat

pliant topaz
#

nothing helps you achieve enlightenment more than when your jungler runs in 1v5 when enemy botlane roamed for grubz while ur botlane didnt. dies 1v5. spam pings the team. instead of idk doing liteally anything else on the map like getting enemy botside jungle, dragon, covering top in case of dive litealrly anything

pliant topaz
hazy breach
pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

you can even do it like multi table poker

hazy breach
#

Although since its beta they do sweeping balance changes every patch so its changing a fuckload kekdog

alpine wraith
#

if you have more than 1 acc

#

play 4 boards at once

pliant topaz
#

like no one could match, so they couldnt end, cuz they needed litearlly 3

alpine wraith
#

those are the cool games tho

pliant topaz

we were 10k gold behind at 20

I got a bit bored of bazaar, i think they still figuring out the game

alpine wraith
#

i like seeing weird things work

#

but sometimes you get metaed

#

unluck

hazy breach
pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

But ye waiting for release could be a good idea

#

Should be soonish in like 2 months or so

void hound
pliant topaz
#

id play too but i dont wfh today

#

sad

vale pine
#

e.g. the december patch did give you the highest amount of control, you had a clear idea of your strengh and when you woudl win/lose

#

this patch is still to a degree "hope you don't get hit by random bullshit"

alpine wraith
#

just get gamma rayd

#

bzzzt

hazy breach
#

Its me, im the random bullshit aquatic lad

alpine wraith
#

ah the turtler

vale pine
#

and the game sucessively turns into a coinflip then longer you need to play with each lose you get

alpine wraith
#

i saw kripp have a fun haste ray game

#

where he got like 4 jellyfishes and other haste thing

#

+beginning of combat haste

#

the mfer had like 2k dmg in like 1 sec

#

or the super inferno sword

#

man i love some items

hazy breach
#

Unfortunately every item has a 0.2s minimal icd

alpine wraith
#

wonder if he will upload that one it was super entertaining

hazy breach
#

So cant proc it more than that kek

alpine wraith
#

i mean remember the dagger that had no icd

#

and you could freeze it but you still died

#

from leftover procs

vale pine
#

for some reason, it has multiple charge triggers and each one has its own icd

#

aquatic is also not rly random bullshit

#

the problem atm is there are certain too strong outliners and some unique but unfun stuff you can face

#

e.g. hitting level 10 gives you 3 enchants, which can vary insanely in power level. One of the NPC fights has a roughly 10% chance to give you a Overpowered skill. Multiple level ups give you skills, where you actively try to get very specific ones because they are op....

#

you can never be sure if you are in a good position because your enemy at any point can just completely destroy you

alpine wraith
#

new fort is also op

vale pine
#

which does not make the game bad, but i think still needs to be tuned further

alpine wraith
#

and funny

#

some enchants are super umbalanced sadly but that is part of the fun i think

vale pine
#

facing a pyg day 12+ means you 90% of the time lose the fight

#

neverless, #off-topic probably better place to discuss

hollow spear
#

it's not like there's any sub news to discuss

#

I find bazaar discussions entertaining 😄

alpine wraith
#

they fixed blades with sec tech

#

big news

#

now the 10 people here can rejoice

hollow spear
#

biggest change we'll get

alpine wraith
#

fazed with nimble too

hollow spear
#

and tier won't be ready for 11.1 launch

yeehaw

if they fix RS I'll rejoice from the rooftops

Don’t

pliant topaz
#

im not logging in but thats bigger than i thought ngl

alpine wraith
#

send 1 sec tech log out

#

what i did

pliant topaz
#

im guessing still no blades with nimble though

alpine wraith
#

nope

#

my PoV rn

pliant topaz
#

cinema

lilac stag
#

The real question, will the fix be included in the distribution to live. kekdog

alpine wraith
#

wait until they make tier set work

#

then dont merge

#

CINEMA

pliant topaz
#

so blades works with clones now? not just the intiial hit right?

worn ivy
#

do i still need mind numbing to dispell enrage?

alpine wraith
#

yea works with both

worn ivy
#

or shiv itself is enough?

alpine wraith
#

shiv itself

Do y’all use vanish as an offensive cd? I am not sure how worth it it is. I pretty much save it to negate abilities on me

#

It doesn’t feel necessary any more

rocky ocean
#

I use it to crank up my flag

pliant topaz
#

I personally use vanish when im trying to cosplay as devs working on rogue

its useful for premed but its def better used defensively

#

shoutout that change!

hybrid prism

I should be clear, in raid

tulip glade

Hope this is the right place to ask - I’m trying to decide what melee class/spec to play next season. Right now I’m deciding between WW, havoc, UH and maybe Sub. I play around 3k IO and somewhere between 6/8 and CE. Guild had a lot of quitters this tier, so spots are pretty open (and I can’t stand Druid for another season…)

How is sub looking so far? It’s the only rogue spec that I seem to vibing with from my initial testing (havent touched rogue seriously since Vanilla/BC 😅)

Appreciate any input!

hybrid prism
#

Play sub I don’t even have to read. We are way cooler

rocky ocean
#

I agree with the above

hybrid prism
#

Plus honestly you can get way better info, especially on here. We have a small community but those of us that do play it have a pretty massive amount of knowledge between us. And you can just @ the dudes that write the guides and ask them questions

lunar bluff

play outlaw

me when i press shadow dance as sub (symbols of death was also used)

rocky ocean
#

Hell yeah

hybrid prism
#

Honestly popping our opener(when you figure it out) feels so fucking sick. Butter smooth and you feel like an absolute powerhouse

twilit phoenix
#

wouldn't call it butter smooth lol

lunar bluff
#

yeah but what about getting 5 BTEs off in your crackshot window with RP up?

alpine wraith
#

yea man now we only need sprint vanish back

twilit phoenix
#

sub opener awk af ngl

hazy breach
#

Unless you get unlucky and dont get coup before second sectech

twilit phoenix
#

i'm a certified trickster enjoyer

hazy breach
#

Casting your second sectech right as its ready feels good imo

lunar bluff
#

me when i shadowstrike flag/trinket rupture dance symbols shadowstrike boom boom BOOOM!

#

(is that even right)

rocky ocean
#

Subtlety

hybrid prism
#

Bop bop muthafucka

#

Okay I need to actually pay attention in class and take notes, I take my leave. To summarize, sub is the best, play that. Outlaw uses a bigger weapon to compensate for tiny pp.

Now.. to ancient history masters classes…. ✌️

Man I am still struggling with weaving in black powder lol was so much easier when it was all evisc xD

lunar bluff

edgy zenith
#

feels soooo good

#

or the rare 15s left on sectech with coup up

kind bluff
#

we still not working on ptr?

hazy breach
#

The tier set is still bugged yes

swift tinsel
#

would laugh pretty hard if they just remove that part of our 4pc instead of making it work

tulip glade
#

Sounds like I can safely lock in sub as an option! 👍😁

worn cape
#

Imagine not having a tier set in S2 😂

hardy snow
#

it gives 2 stacks during dance, but no shadow bonus

hazy breach
#

It also doesnt work on shadowed finishers

#

And the 15% chance to lose the stacks are calculated per hit, not per cast

#

Which includes shadowed finishers

#

So on 5 targets with bp you have 10 rolls of 15%, which is roughly a 80% chance to lose your buff

swift tinsel
#

And if you talent out of SF you very, very rarely reset your stacks

hardy snow
#

then you stack on hits either

pliant topaz
hardy snow
#

but anyway, that's not a very big issue

pliant topaz
#

that would be cinema

hazy breach
#

Wdym not a big issue

#

It makes the set completely useless in aoe

pliant topaz
#

least insane lament take

#

im down

hazy breach
#

It doesnt increase how many stacks you get

#

How many stacks you get is 10 rppm

#

Just like everything else in this game

pliant topaz
#

I think he means u cant lose during dance

#

so its only outside of dance u lose

#

but also kekw man

#

outside of dance if u have ruptures going, the tier still matters

#

a lot

hazy breach
#

Ye so you end up with like 6 stacks during your flag window and then instantly lose them

#

And never get any until your next flag window

hardy snow
#

why you lose them

pliant topaz
#

read above

#

eleem commented

#

on why

swift tinsel
#

or you drop between dances in flag

hazy breach
hardy snow
#

rupt then

#

or consume your DN

hazy breach
#

Ye lemme just rupture in aoe

#

For 40s straight

swift tinsel
#

gonna have a big rupture icon cover my screen when not in dance

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

Ideally you dont even proc DN

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

You swap your marks to avoid DN

hardy snow
#

adapt to it, i say, if that's what ended up. not optimal anyway

pliant topaz
#

elemefeyooh

vale pine
#

problem solved, just stick to trickster

hardy snow
#

this is like sin tier, most likely they just fix it

#

not a big deal to discuss or complain anyway

pliant topaz
#

maybe they fix, maybe they wont

#

theres nothing else to talk about

hardy snow
#

if they dont fix it, then we get buffs somewhere else

#

dps space is locked anyway

hazy breach
#

But also "yo lads here are some new tier sets, go try em out on the ptr and let us know how they feel"

#

"oh yeah your tier aint gonna work for the 6 weeks ptr is up"

hardy snow
#

it's very agile now, we're not their priority.

#

rogues in general look good next patch

hazy breach
#

Wild

pliant topaz
#

based on the 0 changes recieved, looks solid.

#

u heard it here first

#

bet

fallow nimbus
#

It's all bugfixes kekw

#

This time for real, source: dude trust me

cyan lava
#

is there a prelim bis list

#

is it just house of cards+kezan

pliant topaz
#

I do think that is insanely cringe and stupid of them to fix the least relevent bugs that most people wouldnt even notice that do nothing except slightly shift around your details numbers

#

instead of fixing bugs that make the gameplay experience worse

swift tinsel
#

yeah not taking on RS first was weird

pliant topaz
#

but hey, who am i to tell them about priorities

alpine wraith
#

i guess finally a proper dev got his tea break assigned to rogue

swift tinsel
#

I'm cool with sectech blades fix

#

but like

alpine wraith
#

and he fixed those 4 bugs in 30 mins

swift tinsel
#

RS is literally causing people to quit

alpine wraith
#

then now we wait

hardy snow
#

what's RS

alpine wraith
#

replicating shadows

pliant topaz
fallow nimbus
#

IC but bugged

alpine wraith
#

has an annoying bug making shadowcraft refreshes go between instant and 1.2 secs

swift tinsel
pliant topaz
#

its a pretty large buff numerically

#

but like yea

#

idk

#

kekw

hardy snow
#

it's very clear we dont have priority and also should not in a degree.
anything, like you said, if can be fixed in 30mins, they would just fix it some time.
and all numbers will get fixed again after week 0.

pliant topaz
#

"should not in a degree."

swift tinsel
#

bold of you to assume

pliant topaz
#

thats dumb

#

btu im down

hardy snow
#

and for RS, it is most likely they simply dont know how to fix.

#

it would be nice if they give UB cooldown somewhere or an event that could be monitored

swift tinsel
#

Like flawless form or fazed debuff?

pliant topaz
#

he means the UB cd

#

the attack itself

swift tinsel
#

yeah, you just make a timer that counts after that hit/buff application

#

idk what they'd do blizzard-side to monitor that

pliant topaz
#

cant, because autos reset the cd

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, so the timer just resets

pliant topaz
#

and theres no event associated with the cd reset, so u cant track it

swift tinsel
#

LE has a WA that does just that

hardy snow
#

it's server side thing

#

...

pliant topaz
#

sure but thats not the point, the timer always counts down from 20, but u dont know if a reset has happened until you press backstab

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

and see a reset has happened

#

he wants to know when reset has happened so u can act according to it, instead of pressing backstab and seeing reset has happened / or not

hardy snow
#

you cannot track UB cd if you have the talent causing your auto reset it

swift tinsel
#

sometimes 2

hardy snow
#

and waste several gcd there

swift tinsel
#

tbf that's between dances where our damage is kinda neglible anyways

hardy snow
#

how about cps?

swift tinsel
#

I'd argue still pretty negligible

pliant topaz
#

before .5 patch

#

we used to bp in single target

#

to not consume coup

#

if we knew when it woulda been reset

alpine wraith
#

coup is big

pliant topaz
#

we coulda played around it

alpine wraith
#

i fonly flickerstrike

#

was not such a sack of shite

#

like if it reset 2 or 3 every like 30 secs or something

pliant topaz
#

1 more bp buff and we prob bp in st again

alpine wraith
#

so we could yknow PREPARE

swift tinsel
#

I guess I don't see having to BS once or twice in aoe as breaking cp economy

alpine wraith
#

like usb does

weak bridge
#

you just need more frenzy charges

alpine wraith
#

flicker uses power charges now

#

unluck

weak bridge
#

Can’t flicker with a sword anymore I sleep

lunar verge
#

man rogue/sub abbreviations are cursed or what

idle aurora
vale pine
#

a good example is ss

lunar verge
#

nah I just come in here and I see CP, DN, USB

vale pine
#

which means something entirely diffrent on all 3

alpine wraith
#

yea they are

lunar verge
#

its like the devs are doing it on purpose

vale pine
#

universal serial bus iirc

alpine wraith
#

uber secret blade

#

but unseeeeen

hazy breach
#

But yes you'd just ignore it

void hound
#

finally, im never playing this boss agin

twilit phoenix
#

how did sub feel on that boss?

void hound
#

if you have to mark worms you might as well afk

#

otherwise its fun

#

especially when people get infested

#

so you suddenly have a ton of CDR

#

and you can adapt

#

sneak in some extra sec tec

twilit phoenix
#

very cool

#

nj king

vale pine
barren wren
#

kings of m+

tulip gorge
#

surprised bdk is so popular

molten citrus
#

i think bdk is just very fun

alpine wraith
#

it is very strong with gear

swift tinsel
#

It's never really that bad, just very easy to be overshadowed

alpine wraith
#

same as pala

swift tinsel
#

Plus this is all key levels so paladin is gonna have a ton of representation no matter what

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

all-season is a bit interesting

#

vs week 20

lilac stag
swift tinsel
patent crystal
#

Does tier set work in ptr yet?

swift tinsel
#

not the shadow damage portion

vale pine
patent crystal
#

surely they fix soon

swift tinsel
#

ehhh

#

+/-

#

they're on a Winning Streak atm

#

gotta let it keep stacking

pliant topaz
#

found @hazy breach

alpine wraith
#

we are doing our job ok

#

one key at a time

lilac stag
#

Sorry. My keys swapped from rogue to warrior 3 weeks ago.

#

So like 12 less keys. kekdog

barren wren
#

maybe I'm trippin

alpine wraith
#

did you people remember when they changed blades?

#

was it 3 years ago

#

or 2 and something

#

i remember it was s2 DF to S3 DF

lilac stag
#

Check spell changes on wowhead?

#

I don’t recall

pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

Is time really going that slowly?

alpine wraith
#

actually almost 3

#

so 2 and something almost

#

nov 2023

pliant topaz
#

thats the old blades though

alpine wraith
#

yea im counting from the next one now

barren wren
#

next one is new blades

pliant topaz
#

oh yeah nov 14 2023

#

that was amirdrasil release

alpine wraith
#

so 1 year and 3 months more or less

pliant topaz
#

yeah makes more sense

#

15 months

#

also, crazy to think this patch has been live for only 4 months

#

yet feels like 9

#

time really do be going slow when youre not having fun

alpine wraith
#

yea bland things do that to you

barren wren
#

real, this patch killed pug m+ for me

vale pine
#

the problem is the in between content wasn't that interessting

tepid trellis
vale pine
#

so it feels a lot longer

alpine wraith
#

wonder how many glass tables have been broken because of RS and shadowcraft things

barren wren
#

I still cannot time 12+ dawn cause ppl wiping on firt boss

pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

stealthi not even abusing wroms

#

smh

tepid trellis
#

we were boosting that night

alpine wraith
#

rip

#

just needed to crit more

#

i cant wait next patch on any aoe fight to lose my win streak first bp i do

#

vs someone rnging 3 or 4 in a row

#

or stacking eye of kezan in 2 mins vs me on 5

barren wren
#

maybe you will be that someone

alpine wraith
#

and then wipe

tepid trellis
#

would have been higher if we didn't boost

alpine wraith
#

that is me

#

we have been doing some 6/8 ones but 8/8 is still dicey

tepid trellis
#

this was just a 6/8 run

lilac stag
#

What do 6/8 boosts go for these days

alpine wraith
#

2m or so

#

depends

molten citrus
#

i think mount alone is down to 6m now

#

it's dropped quite a lot

#

nvm it's 5m now even

lilac stag
#

@molten citrus what are you mostly pvping on

molten citrus
#

the only thing i've q'd in the past month is rogue really

alpine wraith
#

notrickz going big into other games

molten citrus
#

but i've mostly played feral this season

#

feral > rogue > dk > hunter > warrior > pally

tepid trellis
#

not sure

lilac stag
#

Pvpers upset that arns got buffed?

molten citrus
molten citrus
#

but we'll have to see how it plays out when it goes live

#

lord knows if those changes were pushed on live right now things would be BAD

molten citrus
#

BM, Ret, Fury, Arms are the most played things in pvp

lilac stag
#

Pve warriors were down bad on both specs until buffs

molten citrus
#

i think most of those buffs should've had a "(not applied in pvp)" to them

#

but i know they'll do some pvp tuning the first few weeks of the season

#

BM right now is so good and easy

lilac stag
#

Assuming aura modifiers

molten citrus
#

you can probably buy AH green pvp gear and get 1.8k on BM

lilac stag
#

Solo shuffle or?

molten citrus
#

yeah

#

shuffle and blitz make 1.8k piss easy as any class really

#

shuffle rating gains are just much faster

lilac stag
#

The ah greens better than heroic or mythic gear?

molten citrus
#

they're 613 pvp ilvl

#

honor gear is 626 pvp ilvl

#

bloody token gear is 636 pvp ilvl (very easy to get too)

lilac stag
#

Ah. I hadn’t kept up on the scaling

molten citrus
#

if you're starting out with pve gear, you just need a lot of vers

#

and pvp trinkets

balmy thorn
#

What WA packs do you guys use? I have used Luxthos in the past and tried Zacs and one or two others but can't really seem to click with one

lilac stag
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

LE is lovely

balmy thorn
#

I've tried Devlin's which is great for outlaw

lilac stag
#

I modified LEs. Ultimately pick what works for you. Not what works for someone else.

balmy thorn
#

Yea that's what I'm trying to do. I've go so used to Luxthos' over the years but I want to steer away from his and into someone that actually makes it for rogues

#

Also I hate how everything he does is with a shitload of custom code which means if you want to tweak things it's virtually impossible and it also seems to run very slow because of all the custom code

lilac stag
#

LEs coding is very good. Fuu’s s well. Can’t speak to the others

upper narwhal
#

Luxthos is super easy to customise tho

#

I know cuz I use a heavily customised version of his pack

vale pine
#

In the end its personal preference

wicked joltBOT
balmy thorn
#

Ok in the event that I have symbols on cd but dance is coming off cd, should I hold dance to line up with symbols?

hazy breach
#

Yes, and hold both of them if it would make it so you couldnt 2x dance+symbols during flag+blades

#

You generally need 1 charge of dance and ~40s left on your second charge when you press flag to secure it

balmy thorn
#

Right so it's all about fitting 2 x of those into flag window

#

And as for shuriken storm, my understanding is you only press it in aoe if you don't have dance up, which in that case you press SS as your builder?

#

Also assuming that flagellation damage is really not something to write home about on aoe but it's the mastery it provides?

slate lantern
balmy thorn
#

I'm not sure what though lol so I'll keep sticking to his for now

slate lantern
#

im a devlin truther for outlaw for sure so just was seeing

balmy thorn
#

I think for me I would prefer a larger, cleaner look for the energy/combo points bar

#

Similar to kierons or luxthos' but his everything else is goated

ember hound

idle aurora
#

I also liked that kicks and potions didn’t pop up or weren’t around the core abilities so I could really focus on those few things vs seeing a mass of objects but I’m also colorblind red green so I need less clutter or stuff literally disappears from my vision

balmy thorn
#

See that's the thing I hated about LE's. The resources are so hard to follow. The colours blend in which each other and they are also hard to understand when you're at the right CPoints for spenders

idle aurora
#

lol see totally to each their own 😄

balmy thorn
#

I like Devlin's for that. I just modified his base colour for "spend now" to be white which is what I'm used to

idle aurora
#

For me it made the spec click and instantly made me better once I got it

balmy thorn
#

But I love everything else about LE's lol. I wish I could just mash them together

idle aurora
#

I mean you totally can

#

Turn off the auras you don’t like from one

#

And do the same for the other

#

You could do it in an hour or two

balmy thorn
#

Yea I suppose I could do that. It would mean running two packs side by side. Surely that has a performance hit no?

idle aurora
#

It’s putzy but VERY rewarding

#

Well if you turn half the pack off

#

It’s the same same

balmy thorn
#

True I could put never load and it shouldn't load those at all

idle aurora
#

All a pack does is hold like 89 weak auras your just cherry picking the parts you want

balmy thorn
#

I'm just trying to save my load times which are already like 20-30 seconds long lmao

idle aurora
#

Don’t get me wrong I love trying every weak aura but I usually selectively turn off off or keep one or two triggers from others I like

#

Sometimes people “overdo” everything they display

#

On the flip side you might be running elvui and that might be your entire visible display so I get it lol

thick temple
#

Hey sometimes my luxthos wa is green for like 5/7 or 6/7 but then when I try to BS to make it white 7/7 it like magically reaches 7/7 before the BS goes off so I essentially use bs when I am 7/7

#

Anyone know what's going on there, very punishing during an dance/sod window bc I'm wasting time

idle aurora
#

I just wish I knew why my weak aura constantly says fatality in a weird high pitched voice xD

You spread while tank gathers and if they’ll live long enough

btw i think i know why my parses are getting better

#

i've had enough time playing the new version of sub to be able to glance at the cds of dance+sectec+symbols charges and remaining flag+blades cd and make faster judgement calls on what to send

#

sub right now at it's core is just executing dance windows properly and using cds appropriately in between cd sets

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

do i have this right, coup is not coded like evis to grant snd, yet coded like evis to p much guaranteed drop 4pc stacks if you press it outside dance

cloud rover
#

Bold of you to assume it was codede in the first place

rocky ocean
#

If (player press stuff)
} do something {

haughty mural
#

its schroedingers evis

#

is it an evis or not ? you will find out when you press it

hollow spear
#

I am trying to move away from macroing CB to Sectec, but now that I have to think about when to press, it's getting confusing 😄

vale pine
#

coup is still based on the skeleton of death from above, it is why it behaves so weirdly

hollow spear
#

I feel like the CB in between Flag burst make it difficult to line up with the 2nd Sectec

#

(in the next Flag window)

hazy breach
#

Unless you can use it within like 2 seconds of it being ready

#

But most of the time i guess its actually fine to delay flag a bit for it, as long as you dont lose a cast. But in the sim its literally just using cb during flag

void hound
#

yeah there is some room to min max if you know your fight timings well

#

generally i find it worth it on silken/ansurek

#

but less so on kyveza

hazy breach
#

Most of the time you can use it exactly on cd though

void hound
#

ye

#

it still delays your burst a bit i think

hazy breach
#

No

#

if you use it on cd its the same

hollow spear
#

So the 0,5% (?) dps improvement of using CB on the 2nd sectec even includes not using CB outside of your flag window?

hazy breach
#

Yes

void hound
alpine wraith
#

yea bigger hit bigger dickus

void hound
#

i got used to checking my cb before entering burst

hazy breach
#

I mean then you didnt use it on cd

lilac stag
#

You’re just shifting the start time

drowsy moon

What's cb

alpine wraith
#

cold blood

drowsy moon
#

Oh

alpine wraith

it is like blood but cold

drowsy moon
#

I do it wrong some how

#

I csnt have cb on every sectech

#

😭

void hound
#

well you cant

drowsy moon
#

Oh

void hound
#

max you can have is one sectec in your burst, and one between burst windows

#

with cb that is

#

Hmm

molten citrus

more new animations

maybe rogue soon HOLY

Well its not like that they are actually massive

im pretty certain most wouldnt have realised them

the warrior ones yesterday were kinda big

that's 3 classes now that've gotten a couple animation updates this ptr

just looked into the warrior one

you are right, those are noticable LUL

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Mastery >= Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste

molten citrus
sacred yarrow
#

disregard new animations
invest in hot rod vehicle parts in undermine

lilac stag
#

The hunter ones are weak.

#

Warrior much more noticeable change

still trellis
#

the question is, do we want animations or a working spec monkahmm

#

cant ask for both, this isnt christmas

keen dome
#

Well, the spec does work. So.. ANIMATIONS

cloud rover
lilac stag
#

Actual visual animations.

jaunty umbra
#

yes you're right its working great

keen dome
#

You can play Sub and it does work.

sly shore
molten citrus
sly shore
leaden prairie
keen dome
#

Yeah, when they changed the icon or w/e it got a new vfx

#

Or wait, no. When they replaced all the SL covenant effects

sly shore
#

exactly

lilac stag
#

Another very obvious rogue visual

still trellis
#

another?

lilac stag
#

Yep. Stands out like every other rogue visual except poison bomb. No one can ever see poison bomb.

keen dome
#

My favourite is Shadow Blades

#

Which, unlike it's name, does nothing to your blades

#

the effect is purple dark farts around your hands

#

Flagellations effect is actually on the weapon, but is so hard to notice.

lilac stag
#

as noticeable as the weapon poison visual.

keen dome
#

There's a poison visual?

cloud rover
#

I mean sin and Outlaw have a coin flip

#

Thsts something

keen dome
#

Sub has a giant glowing multitool if you want it.

lilac stag
#

Sub has a Swiss Army Kniff over their head.

keen dome
#

High5 Scath

cloud rover
#

And

#

Sub and sin

#

Have a purple x above the enemy

#

??

#

How cool is thst

alpine wraith
#

the coins are cool

keen dome
#

it's so you know who you are fighting.

alpine wraith
#

they even drop on the ground

keen dome
#

X marks the spot

alpine wraith
#

with the face or cross animation

keen dome
#

Shadow Dance is almost a good visual. And with the elite season set, it actually looks really cool.

You guys …

fallow nimbus

Red flag is best flag kekw

i love the fact that they changed the flag icon for literally no reason

not a single rogue actually wanted it

it was probably

5 minutes

its okay dh was the same way til the most recent ptr, now some of it sort of works

Yeah DH is apparently getting what little attention realz and team has for the 2 classes. coolpanda

subtle bramble
#

yea we can sort of test it now so itll be interesting to see, it still needs more tuning for sure tho

lilac stag
#

tuning would be the least of my concerns

subtle bramble
#

was just curious about sub cause ill probably kms if i have to play adrachi all tier

lilac stag
#

I’m sure they just buff BP again for sub

subtle bramble
#

i havent played sub since beginning of the expac, do we still not press buttons outside of dance

lilac stag
#

Like 4 buttons in 12 seconds outside of dance

subtle bramble
bleak wind
#

@hazy breach are the bugfixes for ptr or live?

vale pine
subtle bramble
bleak wind
lilac stag
#

You can’t press anything because there is no energy and even if there was they don’t do anything beside help get cdr reset

hazy breach
#

Like ye sure you could get a couple extra 60k backstabs

lilac stag
#

we do zero dmg outside of cds

subtle bramble
#

ya i was jw, havoc is the same way but atleast u can press ur 60k dmg buttons

lilac stag
#

I just finally said fuck it. I’m playing SV.

#

at least there are blue text updates

#

that aren’t just PvP nerfs

hazy breach
#

Fairly sure havoc does significantly more damage than sub does outside of dance

#

Like significantly

subtle bramble
#

ya it does, sub has higher peaks lower lows than havoc

lilac stag
#

Sub does Veng auto attack dmg outside of CDs kekdog

subtle bramble
#

dmg profile is kinda similar tho

tulip gorge
#

idk why people expect for energy classes with 1 second baseline gcd to always be casting something LULW

lilac stag
#

I don’t. Best part of the spec right now, at least with trickster cdr

cloud rover
lilac stag
#

still uphill battle, you could just play range. PlatypusCosplayingAsBeaver

tulip gorge
#

honestly it feels great to just chill until you have to use your CDs

cloud rover
#

Ye but isnt seen as "haha the meme Spec" anymore

lilac stag
#

I’m having fun this tier if it kills me

cloud rover
#

its more common

lilac stag
#

Ye for sure

cloud rover
#

Like Feral is still memespec

hazy breach
#

Like i pulled up the kyveza pull prophet mentioned. At 2:45-3:05 he is doing 410k dps, where 120k of it is the ring, 60k is his trinket and 30k is an enchant. So just the class damage for these 20 seconds is roughly 200k garf

lilac stag
#

our RL also knows it’s good so that helps

vestal escarp
lilac stag
#

How quick are beam resets these days?

vestal escarp
#

40s live

#

20 ptr

subtle bramble
#

ya cycle of hatred is super convoluted on ptr but 20s cd when ramped

vestal escarp
#

Cdr on your miniburn spell just for pressing it and not for spamming stuff outside it

#

If only.........

lilac stag
#

it really is the same team working on both. HOLY

subtle bramble
#

yeah... i feel like both specs are intentionally dsyfunctional

#

havoc definitely has an easier time though

hazy breach
#

Wouldnt say sub is dysfunctional, its just not very intuitive

bleak wind
lilac stag
#

Design by unmedicated adhd gamers

hazy breach
subtle bramble
#

yeah maybe unintuitive is a better way to phrase it

#

it might not be that much more dmg but would it feel better to play

#

probably right?

hazy breach
#

Would punish downtime even more

#

So not sure

subtle bramble
#

u think so? if its just a flat cdr

bleak wind
#

sustained aoe would be alot better though

hazy breach
#

Oh ye if dance was just a flat cd it would be better imo

subtle bramble
#

oh ya is sub aoe still ass after they buffed black powder for the 15th time

hazy breach
#

I was assuming you meant infinite energy

worn cape
vale pine
#

energy is not as big of a issue due to symbols/shadowcraft

hazy breach
#

Idk when they try to introduce stuff to make sub easier it often ends up not really being easier. Like the removal of dust shouldve in theory made the spec easier, but that just shifted the complexity from timing your flag/blades well to timings your symbols/dances well

lilac stag
#

They never take just the simple approach design wise

#

so it spirals

vale pine
#

think dust was harder to get a mental model for

#

so it is easier than before, but also still complicated

lilac stag
#

I honestly don’t think it gets better until they put a different team on rogue.

#

this one either doesn’t have time for it or just overcooks

vestal escarp
#

Wouldnt be so sure

#

Alpha hero talents for rog

#

Looked like they were designed by someone rather new to the class

#

Still, stuff is not signed so everything is subjective

lilac stag
#

mmhm. Maybe someone new is what the class really needs.

#

Clearly what is being held onto isn’t reaching mass population in fun

tulip gorge
#

idk if trying to please everyone is the right solution

jade urchin
lilac stag
#

but yeah. Nothing is signed so just mindless chatter

haughty mural
lilac stag
subtle bramble
#

I feel like a small team of people who play the spec would be the best way to balance instead of just 1 person but blizzard probably wouldnt do that

tulip gorge
lilac stag
#

Assa has everything. Playrate still shit.

tulip gorge
#

idk why people have this obsession with play rate

haughty mural
#

what are you on about ?

subtle bramble
#

ya i dont think play rate is a good correlation to how well a spec is designed

hazy breach
#

Specs people enjoy have decent playrate regardless of how well their numbers are

subtle bramble
#

especially a spec like sub which is pretty niche

hazy breach
#

Specs people dont enjoy only have numbers when the numbers are high

tulip gorge
#

enjoyment of a spec is subjective

hazy breach
#

To some extent yes

#

But there some things thats universally disliked

tulip gorge
#

I enjoy rogue specs very much despite it not being such a popular class

#

I find ret paladin and bm hunter boring

hazy breach
#

(like the coup dash for example)

lilac stag
#

enjoyment is a very important part of design, you don’t set out to design a spec to be played by nearly no one. HOLY

vale pine
#

(the coup dash will be removed tho)

tulip gorge
#

it is okay to design something for a niche segment of the playerbase

hazy breach
#

I genuinely think sub would be significantly more popular without any gameplay changes whatsoever if they made evis/coup/sectech all 1 hit instead of small hits

tulip gorge
#

not every class has to be dumbed down to the most common denominator

hazy breach
#

It would play the exact same way yet be way more satsifying
