I hate it because I'm too bad to fit two sectecs into transmitter

Surely the new trinket will solve that problem for me copium

For next patch is DS going to be the move for m+ or is it still going to be trickster? Because I love trickster compared to DS

just crit?

skill issue honestly

hazy breach
#

On average supercharger should buff it roughly as much as cb does

#

But keyword being on average

im simple terms just run it

#

Do we kill the adds on the first boss of Ara-Kara (on an 11) or do we focus boss? I feel like my Shuriken Toss and BP don't do much while trying to dance around the add that focuses me.

And then you evis boss if trickster and bp if deathstalker

Perma 10 stacks is good 😜

hazy breach
#

Its not perma 10 stacks

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Ye first week

#

Then they fixed that

#

Now it drops way more than it should

crystal rain
#

Oh, i thought there was a bug where the %dmg increase wasn't straight up working

Insane indy company

vale pine
hazy breach
#

The 2p doesnt buff shadowed finishers

#

The 4p doesnt buff any shadow damage whatsoever

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

They know

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Not sure

steel zinc
#

Like tldr bp and evis only in dance?

#

seems kinda wonky but different playstyle

hazy breach
#

Almost surely still bp

#

in aoe

#

Since you do like 4x as many finishers on aoe

steel zinc
#

I still think we kinda play around WS as sub since in dance we dont lose stacks

#

Does WS affect in any way darkest night or coup?

#

other then just removing it

hazy breach
#

Wdym

#

As in do they get buffed?

#

Should be yes

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Yes, the phyiscal part

vestal escarp
#

WS not working with shadowed finishers

alpine wraith
#

yep

#

deleted cucked finishers

#

blizz going to go sepsis on its ass

vale pine
#

they can add sepsis to assassiantion if they want to add it back

alpine wraith
#

dont think anyone wants sepsis back

#

unless it comes with some of the strong anima powers/talents/conduits

vale pine
#

i think you don't want 2 spells doing similar things

#

so sepsis would compete with KB on sin

#

and it just does not fit on sub

alpine wraith
#

for sub it would have been fine if it procced premed but it did not

#

also back when blades affected builders only too it did okaish dmg

#

but they did well on kiling it

#

also KILL PV and lingering and make wm work at least with all builders

#

and change its name to buildermaster

#

rip old WM you were so busted you got nerfed 4 times

vestal escarp
#

😭😭

#

buff flag

vale pine
#

whats wrong with flag

vestal escarp
#

wek 😭

alpine wraith
#

it is actually blades that was weaker than expected even after buffs

#

now it got a bit of power from sec tech at least

lilac stag
#

buff flag

vestal escarp
#

so called "burst" spec

hazy breach
#

Idk what you mean, sub is clearly a burst spec

lilac stag
#

ST yes. Keys? sitmadge

vale pine
#

not yet ^^

#

but maybe we are the burst spec in keys too at one point in the future

vestal escarp
#

😭

hazy breach
#

You can be a burst spec without having by far the highest burst in the entire game

lilac stag
#

That’s the equivalent of “funnel”.

hazy breach
#

Getting outbursted by overtuned shaman specs when they have BL and PI doesnt make sub not a burst spec lmao

lilac stag
#

they don’t need either to burst in keys

#

In aoe sub isn’t impressive burst.

#

st / bosses sure

hazy breach
#

It does have good burst

weary saffron
#

the lack of specificity here isnt helpin anyone

#

what functional definiton are we lookin for here

vestal escarp
#

😭

weary saffron
#

like a +15 run into mists and do first pull and compare every single spec in the game's output over 30s?

vestal escarp
#

that but wake

weary saffron
#

or what scenario are you thinking

#

ok so you are talking specific target counts then

vestal escarp
#

no

weary saffron
#

those are both aoe pulls

#

what is your difference

#

do you only care about seconds 0->10? 0->30? 0->60000?

#

burst

spark tusk
kind bluff
#

Idk, my aoe burst is absurd so far, the problem is the pack after where I AFK for a few seconds.

steel zinc
tribal blade
#

sub at it's essence right now is doing your burst and then sending as much stuff between cds as possible without screwing up your next cd set

lilac stag

@tribal blade you around tomorrow to get the vault keys done? LFG was misery tonight.

IS anyone able to say if this is still available from the love is in the air event shadowfang keep boss or not? I couldn't find any info on google https://www.wowhead.com/news/vile-fumigators-mask-available-for-transmog-in-dragonflight-patch-10-0-7-331471

alpine wraith
#

yea should be dropping

tribal blade
#

did we ever figure out if RS bug is fixed

steel zinc
#

Just hope tier set actually works

#

Rest is not gonna happen

fallow nimbus
#

That rs fix talk was nonsense?

alpine wraith
#

it was fixed on ptr

steel zinc
#

Also stealth fixes are always fun

alpine wraith
#

yea man i sure love having to log in every 3 days to check all the bugs we have

#

like doing irl net test verifications

#

as if i dont do my job already

vale pine
#

i don't think we will see these bugfixes on live before the next patch

fair anchor
#

Add to the list checking if previously fixed bugs made it back OMEGAKEKW

alpine wraith
#

nah that one is even spicier with the last oopsie they did

#

where they messed up versioning

#

and merged bad things into live

vale pine
#

you mean the return of the trickster bug ^^

alpine wraith
#

not the only one

vale pine
#

it was the one i felt everyone talking about it was the least informed

alpine wraith
#

thankfully there were bad hunter ones so they went fast into it

upper rock
#

hey guys, currently getting back into sub rogue, do i get it right that with flawless form eviscerate is now our aoe dmg spender? and not black powder?

swift tinsel
#

Up to 4 targets, you'll switch to BP once it gets higher

#

or if you have Coup to spend

upper rock
#

makes sense, thanks a lot haptics

swift tinsel
#

np np

upper rock
#

im a bit overwhelmed with sub atm haha coming back to my old rogue main after 3+ years of only tanking haha

swift tinsel
#

In AoE if you're in Shadow Dance and are talented into The Rotten make sure you strike -> sectech -> storm -> bp; storm will consume a charge of The Rotten per target hit so make sure its your second builder

#

it can definitely be pretty intimidating bc our kit isn't exactly the most intuitive

upper rock
#

oh well i always enjoyed sub and outlaw and since i dont like how the new outlaw turned out ill stick with sub, my main is still tank but feels like to play rogue again ^^

swift tinsel
#

sub has its quirks but trickster is super fun, once you get all of the kinks ironed out and your opener/burst windows down its a blast

idle aurora
#

I just started sub this season and I love it so much. Only have done trickster. My only wish would be having like 1 yard more attack range lol

swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't be mad with slightly longer arms lol

weary saffron
#

rip long arms

worn ivy
#

Checking pins no changes ptr ok see you next week

hazy breach
#

Should be another ptr build in a day or two

swift tinsel
#

prayers for functioning 4pc

hazy breach
#

There was some bugfixes in last weeks, which we noticed later on in the week but ill mention them in the new pin once a new build pops up

vale pine
#

^ just need a bit of patience, lets hope for more changes in this weeks ptr version

swift tinsel
#

is the likely release date for 11.1 early March or closer to the end of Feb?

vale pine
#

no official date, people suspect 25th/26h because thats when events end

worn ivy
#

just swapped to assa for couple of keys

#

goddam man i was playing the game as hardmode

idle aurora
#

Man my heart wants me to macro mark into shadow dance but my head knows that’s a horrible idea

#

But it seems like when I do that I don’t overuse mark lol

twilit phoenix
#

Would be crazy to rush the patch

vale pine
#

think thats a constant, game is rarely ready if content is released

steel zinc
vale pine
#

possible

pliant topaz
#

Ive heard march 11th i think

steel zinc
#

So season start in march and 11.2 in September

pliant topaz
#

it was some "leak" but idk how reliable

steel zinc
#

But still 1 month is a lot of time imo

pliant topaz
#

2 months ago season felt like it was dragging

#

idk why though

#

it hasnt been that long of a season but somehow it just feels really really bad

steel zinc
pliant topaz
#

I guess. it really only been like what 4 months for the tier? not very long. but man its boring

steel zinc
#

Also also the raid is kinda boring. That is obviously very subjective

vale pine
steel zinc
#

It's atleast 5 months more 6 months since renown track is 20

sonic quail
#

will be becoming a chad and going sub next season after playing assa this season, very curious to see what the hell happens with the class in general considering the bugs and overall playability surrounding the tier set itself in PTR.

pliant topaz
#

wait for it to go live then we'll see

#

no point in guessing whats getting fixed and whats not getting fixed

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

I'll be a bit surprised if it goes live w/o changing to all finishers vs just evisc/sectech/bp

vale pine
pliant topaz
steel zinc
#

Tier set that actually changes our playstyle

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

remember how heroic raid -> deathstalker mark behaved diffeerently? and was less aids?

vale pine
#

for incremental updates, probably ptr updates

pliant topaz
#

then week 2 -> nope, we switched it, now its aids

vale pine
#

i mean, it makes realistically no sense for people to freak out or ask before content goes live

#

yet many even of the newer folks now experienced the cycle when people start asking for the next patch

steel zinc
vale pine
#

even when there is no information about it out at all

#

There is still a information problem and question paradox

pliant topaz

Also who doesn't like watching the Mona Lisa dry out? 😜

doing keys on live is more useful

ayup

#

granted I know we get passionate in here, as well as meme the hell out of bugs and being ignored but we generally don’t need slowmode.

swift tinsel

idk if I've ever seen this channel in slowmode

#

score one for Dave

uneven scarab
#

We’re just better at hiding it

#

Hence subtlety

#

Nah but fr i dont think it was ever needed considering this channel has like max 20 active members kekdog

swift tinsel

between that and the stealth bugfixes

#

lmao true

ah that makes sense

Great design blizz

It’ll get fixed …

swift tinsel

#

What fix do you propose they’ll go with dead

swift tinsel
#

add bp, fix bug

lilac stag
#

Free level 80 reroll tokens

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

then we can at least get buffed Backstabs and plague damage hits

#

kekw

lilac stag
#

fr I should be excited about the RS fix. I’m just wondering why it took so fucking long and why it the tier so messed up. Actually making me hate logging onto my fav toon ain’t cool.

swift tinsel
#

played around with using supercharger on rupture and it feels omegabad

#

so that 2/2 perception doesn't feel so eh and to try and eke out some more cdr

its just all cursed between dances

#

does CB work on BP ?

hazy breach
#

yes

#

But sectech is gonna do more than BP anyway so shrugeg

sick jackal
#

So we can avoid it longer

hazy breach
#

But we dont want to avoid it Hmm

#

Or rather, once its procced you want to use it

#

I very much doubt its going to be worth to not use DN as deathstalker, even if it sometimes ends up removing the tier

#

Because you lose out on such a huge amount of hunt them down value by not having the mark up

#

And the mark obv does a fair bit of damage to

sick jackal
#

In aoe at least i play it in arenas

hazy breach
#

You ideally dont want to proc it to begin with in aoe

#

Use strike > bp/sectech > storm > bp > strike another target to reset your marks to 3 and proc clear the witnesses

sick jackal
#

Oh that much more shit ngl

#

If we go ds and this stays like it i might actually take a break

hazy breach
#

They could just fix the mark bug thats weve been complaining about since around when mythic nerubar was released shrugeg

#

And then we could just ignore DN while its up

#

But now the mark doesnt work if DN is up

#

so shrugeg

sick jackal
#

Can we remake a new rogue and never learn darkest night?

hazy breach
#

Well then youre griefing your ST

#

So not worth

vestal escarp
#

it's a feature at this point

fallow nimbus
naive token
#

I haven't played sub since dragonflight, do we no longer use backstab inside of Shadow Dance because of The Rotten?

pliant topaz
#

we do not but the reason isnt rotten. just that backstab does 0 dam, not worth the dm stack it gives

#

though (that might change with gb and tier next patch, we'll see)

naive token
#

I know I always used to do backstab first global inside of SD, its breaking my muscle memory lol

pliant topaz
#

yeah, shadowstrike got a big big buff to it now, so its a lot better

twilit phoenix
#

dropping backstab in dance is kind of a W change

#

shit felt so clunky

supple pawn
#

One of my online friends dmed me and called me a tin smelter should I be worried

tribal blade
pliant topaz
#

yeah that was my thought process too

#

almost 100% worth during blades atleast

#

gb that is not bs

haughty mural
fallow nimbus
#

On ptr

#

If it will make it to live stands in the stars

#

We got no ptr notes but the bugfix parts are huge. Rs, sectec with blades

tribal blade
#

it's for sure a lot less insulting than the few lines of dev notes they gave us

#

i'd still like to see sub get some love with some sexy spell/talent changes, but this is a lot better than nothing

haughty mural
#

Sectec with blades i knew but that PLUS rs is huge

vale pine
#

it is a nice qol

fierce minnow
#

is nimble flurry range still smaller than blade flurry?

keen verge
#

Out of the 3 rogue specs, how would you classify Subtley in terms of difficulty to perform well with?

alpine wraith
#

sub can be the hardest if you cant plan things around

#

but after getting to know how it works it is not super challenging

fierce minnow
keen verge
#

Ah okey! Thanks for the answers ❤️

fierce minnow
#

its like assassination you have be awake all the time but its slow and you have alot of time to react, outlaw you have to be hyperawake all the time and its blazing fast

#

sub is like you have to be awake for 33% of the time and nail the burst and then you can go chill and watch your timer until its go time again. totally different pacing

hybrid prism
#

in what world is outlaw the hardest lmao

#

sub is def the hardest and if you don't do it correctly you are actually useless

keen dome
#

They're all the hardest 'cos it's a subjective thing, and different people will struggle with different things, imo.

hybrid prism
#

ye true

keen dome
#

Each requires learning different rules, reactions, behaviours and knowledge of the content and game.

hybrid prism
#

but picking up one of the specs and doing well, at least my opinion is sub being the hardest

vale pine
#

let people have their opinion, everyone will always argue for their spec to be the hardest

hybrid prism
#

it's miiiiiiine

vale pine
#

even if difficultly is not something you want usually

keen dome
#

Yeee

vale pine
#

e.g. if you look back at 10.2

hybrid prism
#

honestly i think thats why we are one of the top 3 least played classes

vale pine
#

i did basically ask realz to make the spec easier, not harder because i thought the patch would complicate things too much....

hybrid prism
#

i think all of the specs are harder than every other spec in the game lol

#

the spec is so good right now

#

i would be sad if they changed anything

#

bp spam in aoe could be diff i guess

#

but i love it

keen dome
#

Once you learn the rules of Sub and get into the flow, it's a lovely time just planning it all out and glowing purple to do big dam

tulip token
#

I have been loving sub too. Funny how BP can be your highest damage even on trickster xD

#

Yeah it has been stupid fun

#

From a 13 SV I did today. (Super fun key with the way the tank pulled)

fierce minnow
#

sub is complicated on the surface but once you got some basic muscle memory its alot easier to do reasonably well with than outlaw imo.

hybrid prism
#

tru

fierce minnow
#

outlaw is shallow on the surface but demanding to play at a high level

keen verge
#

What streamers would u recommend for sub content?

vale pine
#

don't think there is a streamer who plays subtlety regularely

fierce minnow
#

was gonna say that, not many sub only streamers that come to mind

keen verge
#

Oh rip x)

fierce minnow
#

kush plays sub if its good, i think it doesnt get much better than this guy if you can stand his humor

vale pine
#

the spec is literally the least played dps in the entire game, and assassinations for at least 2 seasons now makes it very hard to justify playing anything else due to its power level

#

for context, rogue players will most of the time play whats best of the 3 specs

fierce minnow
#

even if assassination is a few percent points behind sub its still gonna be the main pick for 90% of rogues due to its reliability

#

outlaw in raid is a menace only the absolute die hards stick to

vale pine
#

I think it rly just comes down to design and tuning

haughty mural
#

im gonna bat

fierce minnow
#

outlaw has been tuned well for a long time now

vale pine
#

e.g. 10.2 sub had abyssal play rates even tho it was the best spec of rogue

haughty mural
#

if they do more stealth bugfixes

vale pine
#

simply because of how much unnessecery complexity the dev team decided to add in the patch

#

people don't want to do no damage unless they play perfect

hybrid prism
#

make gloomblade baseline, put dark brew in its spot, give us new talent where dark brew is. fix bugs. boom fixed

fierce minnow
#

but going into a tier saying "i am gonna one trick outlaw" is questionable, either you get screwed over by uptime or your weapons are needed elsewhere and the daggers are left unused

vale pine
#

especially if playing perfect requires you to study extrernal ressources for cooldown managament

#

the last patch made some changes to remove some complexity, sub is now somewhat more intuitive

fierce minnow
vale pine
#

still very difficult to maximize to its full potential, probably the hardest dps to do so in game

leaden prairie
#

i swear its raid viability would skyrocket

#

just from that

fierce minnow
hybrid prism
#

when it changed from combat to outlaw i lost all interest in the spec. I wanna be a rogue not a pirate. If you want a pirate, make a pirate class

leaden prairie
#

Ok

fierce minnow
#

the pirate theme is rather subtle idk

tulip token
#

It is just a rogue pirate xD

alpine wraith
#

they killed the pirate theme

vale pine
fierce minnow
#

its more of a brawler type of spec

hybrid prism
#

the class fantasy and spec fantasy of sub is just so perfect rn imo. Hope they keep it. but really, I wanna play dark brew and i want gloomblade all the time. make it happen

keen dome
vale pine
#

i would not mind being able to use any one hand weapon in offhand

keen dome
#

Yeah, that'd be so nice.

#

It'd open up a lot of options, and potentially cantrip weapons

fierce minnow
#

and if you see more assassination and less sub its because nature has done what nature does

vale pine
fierce minnow
#

dgmw i love sub, i love assassination, and i hate/love outlaw

vale pine
#

perception is hard to change, and i don't think we will see effort put into giving a lot of attention to the spec like they did with others like e.g. shadow priest to change this perception.

fierce minnow
#

but if i had to pick a spec absolutely blind to tuning or knowledge of raid mechanics in 11.1 i would 100% pick assassination just because i expect it to work regardless

craggy badger
#

To add my two cents i'm wondering about learning sub, assa maintenance gameplay is so boring to me

#

I used to play outlaw but apparently the spec is in the gutter right now

vale pine
#

all 3 rogue specs are good right now

tulip token
#

Yeah they are literally all fine

vale pine
#

assassiantion just since beta noticable better than the other 2 in toolkit

#

which is kinda what you are saying

#

assassiantion is reliable because it is less likely to stay in a dissadvanterouse position

#

but thats just up to the dev team, history just created this perception

fierce minnow
#

like literally on top

steel zinc
vale pine
#

Outlaw has the problem of damage profile

#

it does not burst

steel zinc
#

Outlaw sim is omega bait in st. Might aswell roll your dps

#

Also any downtime on outlaw its over

fierce minnow
#

my point exactly

vale pine
#

outlaw sim is not bait, but you rarely face a high uptime boss

tulip token
#

I think a good reason sin is so popular is because while it is "punishing" to not do the rotation properly. You can literally just put your bleeds and stuff out and see good damage pack to pack. So it is in a way less punishing then fucking all of your cds up on sub or not understanding how to see numbers on outlaw

steel zinc
#

Between top and worst outlaw sim is like 800k

tulip token
#

So the casual player and people running low keys just get to put bleeds out and watch Sudden Demise go crazy. Even if they have no idea what is going on

vale pine
#

numbers are what drives people to or away from something

#

it was similar in DF, but DF had tuning passes to regulate power level more

#

consequence was sub was good in 2 tiers you would else just see the same profile we see this xpac

#

as much as anyone likes to play whatever they like, we are all very dependent on devs to allow specs to compete

tulip token
#

Oh absolutely

vale pine
#

and TWW does put more effort into making whats popular better, rather than fixing other things

steel zinc
#

Still sub and sin are fine rn imo

vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug not much we can do, sub is not in a bad spot

tulip token
#

Agreed. I wish more people liked it and played it but at the same time I like being the underdog or a spec people don't expect to go crazy. It sucks trying to get into keys sometimes but I enjoy the banter and seeing people realize after the key that sub is doing fine.

vale pine
#

there are enough people who love or like sub, but they know that they are better off playing sin

#

It is just, there is no reason to play sub if assassiantion is better tuned

#

this is a statement made in Legion, you see it still holding up 8+ years later

tulip token
#

Yeah its sad but true

tulip token
#

Can't even try to argue a util difference cause sin also has ironwire. I think the only things I like about sub is that it feels tankier because of the vers and the 1hr tricks can be nice if a tank falls over and you want to save a pull. But those aren't things that a top player is ever going to care about and are kinda niche

void hound
#

when sub and sin do the same damage, its still highly advantageous to play sin

#

sub needs to do notably more damage to offset the cost in mental stack

vale pine
#

and if there is not equal effort put into specs and good tuning, we won't see this statement every change

#

TWW feels a lot more like they did not even try and rather just made assassiantion good

void hound
#

assa just got everything lol

alpine wraith
#

didnt forget to nerf outlaw just in case too

#

in case you forgot

vale pine
#

but assassiantion def. got a lot more attention and more thought out design decisions

#

a good example is the first dance requirements

#

which for no good reason add a extra timer to "out of combat" requirements

#

while it might be still good in reality

#

it was the last thing the dev team decided to change

#

so this is the "state of the art talent design" for the spec

haughty mural
#

would it be busted if it was available after every pack ?

vale pine
#

and it makes the spec a lot harder to judge

haughty mural
#

i dont think so

vale pine
#

if you read above about unessecery complexity, this talent showcases it

void hound
#

yeah
sub doesnt need to be accessable or noob friendly
it just needs to get rid of all the cringe unintuitive stuff
"shadow blades buffs your finisher"
"but not your sectec cause its bugged, should have read obscure discord chats!"

vale pine
#

let me explain why

#

getting out of combat, so the typical restealth is somewhat intuitive

#

and even then, you saw other specs write paragraphs of text how restealths are the worse thing ever because you can't do so reliably

#

somehow the design decision was to add a timer on top of it

#

means any player who wants to have a rough idea of the power level

#

does not only need to know the restealths, which was at least stated by the other 2 specs to be not reliable

#

you would need to know when you get the extra downtime

#

and judge wether it is reasonable to pick over other options

#

^ yet in reality it is most of the time "just pick it"

#

because the competiting talents are all not good

haughty mural
#

yea true

mint swift
#

I wonder how black powder tastes

barren wolf
#

woah assa received everything that it needs to be a good spec and its tuned high

void hound
barren wolf
#

aoe tools, prio dmg, reduced ramp up, burst

vale pine
#

There is a certain irony that assassiantion now does funnel way more efficient than sub

barren wolf
#

well assa has always done priority damage

#

it a pack

#

since it did envenom as its finisher

#

now it just so happens that envenom is aoe

vale pine
#

assassiantions prio was noticably worse tho

#

now its noticably better without similar trade offs

void hound
#

assa prio damage is nuts

#

cause its a feedback loop

#

more FoK targets = more envenoms
more envenms = more AoE
more AOE = more singular focus

mint swift
#

Maybe like
Fuck whats the name of the sweet

#

Starts with an s

#

I think

#

powedery

barren wolf
#

what

vale pine
#

liquorice

hazy breach
#

more envenoms = more marks = more darkest nights

mint swift
#

That doens't start with an s tho

void hound
#

everything is feeding into each other sorta, no?

barren wolf
#

is it a loop though

mint swift
#

SHERBET

#

That

vale pine
#

kind of

#

more energy = more finisher too

void hound
#

well yeah, cause more aoe targets = more ST (envenom
more envenom = more AOE
more AOE = more ST

barren wolf
#

well yeah if you change it and add more onto it

#

but what you typed isnt

void hound
#

the feedback is AOE and ST feeding each other

mint swift
#

So yea, if you take a sack of black powder and just

#

pour some into your mouth

#

i think it would have maybe a mix of liqurice (as Fuu said) but mainly sherbet

void hound
barren wolf
#

if it makes yall feel better, i dont like assa rn

barren wolf
#

caustic, ic, mark, st dam not going into any detail

hazy breach
#

Bleeds not doing any damage is stinky

void hound
#

bro just wants to press snd and auto attack 😔

hazy breach
#

I want the demisemaxxing builds to be the best

barren wolf
#

yea thats what i said

void hound
mint swift
#

You put bleeds on for the buffs they give and what they do

#

I think

lilac stag
# mint swift Why :O

It can do everything but play like an actual dot spec where you need to actually use more than a single cell to think about bleed management

mint swift
#

so everything but their damage

#

Minus CT which can do nice

barren wolf
#

for the 1 pull every 2 minutes where mobs live more than 40 seconds, you have vanish to reapply bleeds instanly

hazy breach
#

Like this bro, fuck all the green stuff just pure demisemaxxing

lilac stag
#

They essentially made it sub (pump evicrrates) but slowed down.

#

Idk anyone that enjoys assa that wanted sub 2.0

void hound
#

dont forget auto attacks doing sizable damage lol

alpine wraith
#

they got the same as feral treatment

mint swift
#

I find it fun atm at least tbh

alpine wraith
#

if you can bleed 3 targets at a tiome

barren wolf
#

without being able to swap targets

alpine wraith
#

they nerf the fuck out of them

barren wolf
#

thanks

lilac stag
#

Blame outlaw. Dance removed from class tree

mint swift
barren wolf
#

it does do dmg

mint swift
#

But like, compared to the main build

#

ST damage doesn't seem good tho

lilac stag
#

I don’t recall a time where the 3 specs were numerically so good, but gameplay was so off putting to players that have been around rogue for a good bit.

#

and looks like it’s worse with upcoming tier

vale pine
#

I don't know, i think subtlety is rotational good

#

can't say much for assassiantion because i never rly got excited about its rotation

mint swift
#

Tbh

vale pine
#

and outlaw is still high apm

mint swift
#

idk if im playing sub right but it is fun

#

I just wish the downtime wasnt as bad
But that's literally how sub works

vale pine
#

i think sub has many things which could be more intuitive

lilac stag
vale pine
#

and ofc bugs, but some of them get adressed

barren wolf
#

you have ball scratching in sub rotation, between dances. its the hidden dance

lilac stag
#

Or striking 3 targets in aoe

mint swift
#

It is fun going nuts in SD

lilac stag
#

or DS is so numerically far ahead trickster is not played

mint swift
#

spamming SSs and BPs and Evics

mint swift
#

People hate DS right

lilac stag
#

I will not speak for all, but yes I hate it

barren wolf
#

sub 🤝 assa
hating DS

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

On assa it fits better, just losing the mark is very annoying

#

On sub it just feels awkward and the bug screws over your rotation

#

But you dont lose the mark atleast

mint swift
#

I mean

#

I like DS on assa

void hound
#

now its quite boring

vale pine
#

you have most of the same complexities in this patch

#

i think dust had some rly cool use cases

tribal blade
#

i think one of the main ways i would want to both simplify and fix sub would be to make dance a flat cd unaffected by cdr

#

and just have sectec as the only cd with cdr, so you can kind of anchor your rotation around it

hazy breach
#

And/or make sectech only usable in stealth/dance

tribal blade
#

i had that idea too, would work really well imo on a thematic level too

#

since it's "secret"

vale pine
#

i did like the idea of making secret cd reset with dance or sysmbols

tribal blade
#

that could be cool too, kind of like what they did with BtE on outlaw

#

our sectec damage would be going through the roof

leaden prairie
#

But then it does less damage

fierce minnow
#

i mean bte is kinda different since you want to send it for the buff aswell, sectec doesnt buff

tribal blade
#

yeah it would have to huh

leaden prairie
#

I thought you guys wanted one big hit

#

Not multiple small

fierce minnow
#

and you would play around that in way of sending sectec before dance, to reset it and send it again

#

further complicating stuff

#

not a fan of that idea

tribal blade
#

wouldn't it actually just simplify because you wouldn't never worry about when to press sectec in that case

fierce minnow
#

yes you would

tribal blade
#

you could literally press it on cd and it'd be fine

fierce minnow
#

if you have 5 seconds left on sectec cd before going into dance

tribal blade
#

ah ok i see where you're going

fierce minnow
#

you could argue that you wait for it or not

tribal blade
#

yes good point

leaden prairie
#

Well since dance is on a charge

fierce minnow
#

and you only dance when sectec just got on cd

leaden prairie
#

You would probably always wait

tribal blade
#

it does enough damage to warrant waiting probably

fierce minnow
#

you solve an issue by introducing a new issue

leaden prairie
fierce minnow
#

sub works pretty fine the way it does rn, i´d rather have more flurry range

#

and lower energy cost on storm

tribal blade
#

yeah revert storm energy back to 35

#

45 is just ridiculous

#

we have 1/3rd of the energy pool as sin and our aoe builder costs 5 more energy

fierce minnow
#

just skill vigor

tribal blade
#

if only we could

fierce minnow
#

just do it, dont let your dreams be dreams

tribal blade
#

you know actually by S3 when there's enough stats to go around and we can get more crit

#

could possibly be worth going vigor

#

over CB

#

actually nah lethality is kinda good with our current set up

fierce minnow
#

lethality too good

#

just have 50% haste for more energy

#

damn friction

alpine wraith
#

we dont need the energy tbh

tribal blade
#

i just want a bit more energy, like an extra 25-50 would be hot

alpine wraith
#

what we could use is a bit stronger aoe or better ways to get ruptures out they do a lot of dmg

tribal blade
#

it feels like sub is kind of missing something in aoe

#

feels like we're missing a spell

#

if that makes sense

alpine wraith
#

well what changed was dance cdr

#

got nuked

#

so we are outside of it quite often

tribal blade
#

maybe since i started playing sin sub's aoe feels overly simple in our sources of damage

#

something to help get ruptures out faster could help fix that

alpine wraith
#

yea makes you think

#

unnerfed replicating would have been the best

#

instead of this weird thing we have now

#

or maybe just have both

#

and kill shitty useless talents like PV or lingering

#

or make it be there instead of silent storm

#

so we have a clear AoE branch

barren wolf
#

ok but you say you want an aoe branch until you have to take it in m+ and it kills your st

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

our mid talents are that weak

#

even the "aoe" thing in finality and db is so weak

#

it loses to 1 extra symbols

#

and some % dmg and some crits on builders

#

because inev does not even work in aoe that well and wm either

barren wolf
#

your spec sucks

alpine wraith
#

the new DS tech is kinda funny

#

im going to drop the nuke 1 week before patch and see how people react

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

i wonder if they fix the mark bug

#

making us be able to ignore DN in aoe without doing sorcery

lilac stag
fierce minnow
#

trickster sub is ok tho

#

the others can fuck off

lilac stag
#

gameplay wise sure (minus the charge). Visually it’s awful. Animations don’t work. Stuck with a utility knife over your head. Garbage. Absolute garbage.

fair anchor
#

Hey I have this situation with trickster when i have 4 coup stacks, and i'm about to send dance and sectec, and my brain goes "use sectec first so you can get the extra CDR from coup for sectec CD"

fair anchor
#

But then i waste an automatic unseen blade hit from disorienting strike

lilac stag
#

It is soon

fair anchor
#

I dont know if that is a smart decision or not

barren wolf
#

other people can see which target is marked by the DS rogue so thats neat

#

i did notice it once from another rogue

#

note:once

fierce minnow
#

much cooler than a frostfire mage dropping huge blue and red meteors on your pack

barren wolf
#

ehm err grragrh ummmmmmmmm no comment

#

what if i flip a coin

#

is that cooler

fierce minnow
#

how about a spellfire phoenix at your command?

lilac stag
median nacelle
#

feels more adapt friendly

fair anchor
#

Cheers noted, idk i felt like wasting one or the other, guess i should try to enter dance with 3 coup stacks if possible

haughty mural
#

if possible

median nacelle
#

i generally dont overthink that but ya

haughty mural
#

dont overthink tho

fair anchor
#

Gotcha thanks

weary kite
#

read the tier set

fair anchor
#

True

#

But then coup empowers sectec too ^^

#

It is a bit bad when you dont get coup in between the 2 sectecs in flag

hazy breach
#

Outside of your flag you can use them in any order, it doesnt really matter

#

In your flag+blades window you really want the cdr on sectech, so its better to sectech before

tribal blade
#

cycling through sectecs fast has a ripple effect on the entire rotation

#

fuck up cdr and it's very noticable (aka playing DS)

vale pine
#

cooldown management is def. not trivial

vestal escarp
#

Sometimes as ds you have to delay dances by quite a bit to line up sectech

wheat crypt
#

I cant read stuff anygood youtuber that explain assa or sub?

#

For rotation and cd breakdown

vale pine

think hachadino and eleem have some youtube videos for sub, personally don't follow youtube enough tho

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

the xpac will likely just have 3 tiers and then we start over again with a new xpac

I assume we xpacs will stay similar to how this one was handled so 90$ early access option and a regular priced option

I am in a love-hate relation with it

It splits the community in people who have no problem spending the extra 30$+ and these who can't

and like this xpac gives benefits to people signing up earlier

#

but it spreads out the load, means servers are more stable

edgy zenith
# vale pine I am in a love-hate relation with it

i actually am just totally in favor for it. makes launch WAY more stable, generates Blizz more revenue (which hopefully means better game), and doesn't provide any meaningful power level difference between early access and regular people. if you're a streamer, I would be pissed though.

#

i bought early access this expansion, and will not be buying it next expansion

barren wren

warm marlin
#

It was worth it purely for the brokie memes and the slaughter on the beach in warmode of people who bought it punching down

#

The only reason I bought it was because of my boys I played with, but 3 days not worth it for 30$. If it helps servers I’m not against it

I think many ppl won’t buy it next expansion

All ppl did was farming rare mounts whole day or just goofing around

The diffrence was how fast you could level

and this was a big diffrence in general, setting players who did not buy with multiple characters back quite a bit

probably not much of a diffrence for the average player

The breath/frontal from the first boss in Necrotic Wake is an attack, not a spell.

In order to immune the the breath, you must be in the first second of cloak of shadows (“a moment of magic immunity”). After the first second of cloak of shadows has elapsed, the attack will hit you and no longer be immuned.
Alternatively you can use evasion to dodge the breath.
