They were

#

Its not a new bug

#

I just thought i accidently hit an evis that reset my stacks but the buff wasnt dropping before

alpine wraith
#

they went from not working at all to now just bugging out sometimes because they reset their own buff

hazy breach
#

Like the difference is that i can see the buffs dropping, so i know it didnt drop

alpine wraith
#

so it was never not bugged

hazy breach
#

But the same thing happened before

steel zinc
#

And will scuff sims

lilac stag
#

finally got around to

hazy breach
lilac stag
#

something scuffed with sub going into NA beta test. Everyone is shocked.

#

would be more shocking if the devs actually looked at it. Havoc seems to be the teams priority

I mean they were broken broken and now broken

Same with all busted specs atm, they need to survive next 2 weeks of balance tuning+rwf balance tuning+early season balance tuning

Buff sin so rog can play m+

#

It hasnt been long since I decided to main rogue, but its a hell of a emotional rollercoaster. If it has been Like this every time, U old dogs must have the mental strength my mom wished I had in school

#

Wake me up in March. This channel will be back to normal by then. coolpanda

lilac stag
#

this channel was very normal. Happens when there’s ~20 people all enjoying something in common

upper narwhal
#

Just wait until Sub becomes meta

#

the yellow names will come pouring in

lilac stag
#

I’ll be dead by the time that happens

mint swift
#

Tbh I talk I’m this channel

#

It isn’t normal if I’m talking

lilac stag
#

do you actually play sub? Genuinely curious.

mint swift
#

Yea

#

I play sub on M+ like every now and then
I played the spec for a few seasons aswell

#

Just play assa atm

lilac stag
#

when I say ~20 it’s more the dummies like myself that just hyper focus on sub

#

Rogue is whatever.

#

I can play assa. I don’t consider myself an assa player or enjoyer.

#

I just send quake dog picts in their channel. kekdog

#

I think most people lurking here like the idea of sub. Play it and get frustrated quickly.

umbral saddle
#

Hey, i wanted to ask someone.
I’ve been playing rogue quite alot in this season.

This is my first exspansion to play wow, and i’ve played every class.

I’ve liked rogue, pala, sham alot this season, so i wanted to ask anyone with knorledge on how to interpritet the class changes for season two.

How is subtlety looking into s2?

lilac stag
#

we have no changes

umbral saddle
#

Is that a good thing or a bas thing?

#

I see many classes getting bunch of changes

lilac stag
#

I mean look at that playrate this season

#

Tuning hasn’t happened fully

#

If you like the spec play it

#

If you’re meta hunting it’s likely not here.

umbral saddle
#

I’ve been playing assasination quite alot in this s1, and liked it alot.

But i dont wanna do the same for two season, since i wanna experience the game. So i dont really know what im jumping into in when it comes to subtlety.

grand wyvern
#

30sec of glory and 1 min of pain

vale pine
#

also

#

please don't post the same message in all channels ^^

#

no changes is not entirely correct, we saw some bugfixes which is good

#

to answer power level

#

subtlety offers a lot of burst, so even if it is overall not the strongers dps it will for sure see use for this reason

umbral saddle
#

Yea, i’ve heard that sublety is very strong for raid, and assasination for m+.

This season i was maining pala so i raided on my pala. But this next season, i’ve decided to fully invest in rogue. So that was why i asked in assasination and sublety, because i might play assa in m+. But highly to sublety in raiding content

vale pine
#

assassiantion was extremely dominant this season

#

you basically had no reason to ever play something else

#

it was mostly because of tuning and power creep in their talents

#

but power level will change in the next patch, e.g. the new tier set can impact one specs position, trinkets can, etc.

#

subtlety was buggy on ptr, which is why streamers picked it up

#

it is still buggy, but also in some not beneficial ways

lilac stag
vale pine
#

The tier set itself, assuming no bugs seems a bit too good, it is why we expect tuning changes

lilac stag
#

maybe Armin still playing if they actually fixed bugs on sub

vale pine
#

but like, if you want to know NOW what to play in the patch

#

you are out of luck

#

there is only one profession who can help you on that

#

called fortune tellers

lilac stag
#

I think any of us that consider ourselves sub mains can easily enough swap to assa and play it. The reverse is not necessarily the case.

umbral saddle
#

Nono im pretty sure i Will be maining my rogue, im just kinda worried about getting into a new spec as sublety, because i heard the cd management is Hard

lilac stag
vale pine
umbral saddle
#

And i’ve looked at it a few times, but couldn’t rlly get the grasp of it

mint swift
#

Tbh it is fun to go between dps huge busting dude to wet towel

vale pine
#

but a quick tl;dr of sub cooldown management

#

you use your 1 min 30 cooldowns with 2x dance, 2x symbols 2x secret

vale pine
#

and in between align your cooldowns (dance/symbols) around secret techniques

umbral saddle
#

Everything, when i look at it its like a plate with 5 different means on it. Everything smells good tho

vale pine
#

so essentially the core gameplay is to make sure to have the 2x dance 2x symbols during the 1 min 30 cooldowns (blaes/flag)

twilit phoenix
#

finally getting the hang of DS sub

vale pine
#

and deciding when to spend or wait between

lilac stag
#

Sectech is the meal. Everything else is ingredients

mint swift
#

Make black powder apply mark

vale pine
twilit phoenix
#

mark management feels so much easier on sub ngl

vale pine
#

thats true

umbral saddle
#

Is there a Big difference for single target and aoe scenarios? In the rotation

vale pine
#

just like on any spec in the game

#

you typically want to know when your cooldowns are up

vale pine
#

there are some details

#

but if you start out, you can also play it simpler

lilac stag
#

Drizzle in a storm every second builder in dance. Hit BP at 5+ target.

vale pine
#

e.g. for trickster, you would start using bp on 5+ targets

#

but its fine to just keep using evis during cooldowns

#

and over time transition to making more detailed decisions

umbral saddle
#

I’ve find this so interestesting, because the classes i’ve played alot, either have mid cds and High cds. Like u pop ur cds every minut -3 minuts but sublety its like the cds is into the Core rotation, or i might be totally wrong

lilac stag
#

Sub is its own monster

umbral saddle
#

This might be why im not quite there for my brain to understand it

solemn creek
lilac stag
#

Why very few play it

#

It’s anti wow spec design.

#

also why some of us play it

twilit phoenix
lilac stag
#

why would I be talking about assa?

twilit phoenix
#

there's a sin comment right above yours

umbral saddle
lilac stag
#

And I’m ignoring it

#

Fuck deathstalker

twilit phoenix
#

DS sub kinda bangs though ngl

#

in raid at least

lilac stag
twilit phoenix
#

i was a DS hater chud, and then I tried it

#

bangs for sure

#

in keys though, I cba

#

DS playstyle in keys is ass

umbral saddle
swift tinsel
#

I love having less cdr

#

and DN

twilit phoenix
#

you do more damage dracthyr_shrug

lilac stag
grand wyvern
#

who thought it would be a good idea to make you press aoe builder in single target

lilac stag
#

Keys. Idk 11-12? I can’t be bothered with m+ this season

#

I’m also disable (eye issues)

#

So yay it’s fun and I enjoy the challenge

umbral saddle
lilac stag
#

it’s bugs were also infuriating

#

Thankfully one fixed (hopefully still once it hits live)

twilit phoenix
#

all 3 specs have been a banger to play this tier (barring bugs)

lilac stag
#

M+ if you have friends ez. Pugging as sub can be a challenge

twilit phoenix
#

a sub tier would be cool in undermine

lilac stag
#

tanks will impact your dps more than say assa where your bleeds just pop off

umbral saddle
lilac stag
#

one of our better m+ talents requires us to actually get out of combat and in stealth for a considerable amount of time

grand wyvern
umbral saddle
umbral saddle
#

I guess i Will be stück on the dolls in dorn a few hours a day the next week or two, and hopefully be blasting after

#

Oh yea, the stats, is that the same as assa rogue?

swift tinsel
#

mastery/vers

#

typically

umbral saddle
#

Im crit/mast rn on my rogue

swift tinsel
#

crit isn't bad

#

only one that's truly meh is haste bc we don't really benefit from it much

#

bc we're essentially energy capped in cd's

umbral saddle
#

Do u as a sub, get into situations in longer durationed fights, where u low on energy? Like assa

lilac stag
#

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

swift tinsel
#

ty

#

was about to send that lol

lilac stag
#

I have more haste apparently

umbral saddle
#

How Long is this burst Window for an experienced sub player?

swift tinsel
#

25 seconds or so

#

for flag/blades

lunar bluff
umbral saddle
#

And then its like 30 secunds with no dps or?

swift tinsel
#

there's a bit of an ebb and flow with sod/dance/sectech between major cooldowns

#

main thing is making sure you have 2x sod/dance/sectech for every flag/blades window

umbral saddle
#

I see, i should prob log my rogue and start practicing

swift tinsel
#

practice is very important for sub

umbral saddle
#

Sounds alot, and i wanna be prepped for s2

swift tinsel
#

first step is nailing your cooldown window

#

bc that's where most of your damage will come from in fights

#

then get used to when you can send your shorter cooldowns between flag/blades

lilac stag
#

figuring our CDR is generally the speed bump

#

and that will change without a shaman

#

well the flow will

umbral saddle
#

Is shaman important for a sub rogue?

swift tinsel
#

extremely

umbral saddle
#

How come?

swift tinsel
#

I think eleem said something like 12% more cp from skyfury

lilac stag
#

More cp. more cdr. More mastery

swift tinsel
#

its the single most important buff for sub

umbral saddle
#

Ugh so i gotta find myself a shaman buddy for my m+ content for season two

swift tinsel
#

shouldn't be hard

umbral saddle
#

So much homework

#

Hard to find a good one

#

I did play a bit of enc sham aswell, only hot to 2.8k Rio tho

#

Do yall Watch a certain sub streamer/youtuber for knorledge that you recommend?

swift tinsel
#

I just hang out in here

#

ask questions when I have them

#

Eleem and Hachadino have solid videos

granite river
#

hachadino's stuff i find to be very detailed and informative

lilac stag
#

Eleem has a intro video

#

All 3 guides are good.

#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
granite river
#

what is Eleems YT channel called? couldnt find it earlier

lilac stag
#

!wa LE’s pack is probably best overall for sub imo

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

might have to search for "Eleem rogue"

#

look for the Raichu

slate lantern
#

(Just because sometimes I've had trouble finding it even when I searched eleem rogue huh )

lilac stag
#

I still think the thumb need the 2% gray on there

granite river
#

yeah same, i googled eleem rogue wow and just now found it

slate lantern
#

Also Hacha's sheet is great, the full guide video is very nice for a total introduction

#

I like the visual representation of the different CD window timings as I am learning

umbral saddle
#

The choise between deathstalker or trickstar, does it have a siginificant influence on ur dps output?

lilac stag
#

No. Just one sucks to play

#

Trickster is what you want.

umbral saddle
#

I played deathstalker on assa xD

lilac stag
#

it fixes many of the base spec design issues with CDR

umbral saddle
#

Trickstar for sublety

lilac stag
#

mmhm

#

you wanted something new

umbral saddle
#

I fo

#

Do

lilac stag
#

Never touch DS as sub.

umbral saddle
#

Imma play trickstar

lilac stag
#

but I don’t have any strong opinions on our awful hero talents. OMEGAKEKW

umbral saddle

Good for you

#

I love watching broken tier vods

granite river
#

brother what about the tier is broken at this point

swift tinsel
#

BP pad strong with broken tier set

granite river
#

stacks fall off

tepid trellis
#

before that stacks would never drop

cinder steppe
#

tier not working and sub still pumping?

tepid trellis
#

thus making DS do more than it should with how strong BP is for the spec

tepid trellis
tulip gorge
#

you have no idea how happy I am we still play trickster

lilac stag
#

Pumping

tepid trellis
#

30% perm dmg buff from bp does indeed make it look very good

swift tinsel
#

dslice

#

seems off though

cinder steppe
#

am i crazy that i miss sub from season 2 dragon flight ?

#

it was so fun

lilac stag
#

Yes

cinder steppe
#

lol

lilac stag
#

It sucked

tepid trellis
#

seek help

cinder steppe
tepid trellis
#

i recommend therapy

twilit phoenix
#

cock n ball therapy

tepid trellis
#

or it will leave lasting dmg

cinder steppe
#

i played outlaw in season3

lilac stag
#

or just play outlaw

cinder steppe
#

yea

twilit phoenix
#

also trickster is fucking SICK

#

outlaw season 3 was the shit fr fr

tepid trellis
#

yeh "shit"

twilit phoenix
#

are those s2 sims real though?

#

is trickster really that far head of DS atm

tepid trellis
#

early ptr sims

lilac stag
#

Play tickster outlaw with that s2 take

tepid trellis
#

alot can still change

twilit phoenix
#

hmm would be pretty sweet if it stayed that way

#

I really enjoy trickster sub

slate lantern
granite river
#

but without perma stacks

granite river
swift tinsel
#

Take all ptr sims with a grain of salt

tepid trellis
cinder steppe
#

so how dose it look this week?

lilac stag
#

Take everything on ptr with a grain of salt. pjsalt

cinder steppe
#

still good dam?

tepid trellis
#

its okay

lilac stag
#

It’s not meta if that’s what you’re asking

cinder steppe
#

still good dam when cds not rdy?

lilac stag
#

Haha

umbral saddle
#

What is the meta classes in ptr?

cinder steppe
#

dumb question ik

lilac stag
#

Have you played the spec?

vestal escarp
#

sub? Pfftt

lilac stag
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows.

cinder steppe
#

i just want sub to be meta dont @ me

tepid trellis
#

i dont

#

makes my life harder

#

just upper middle of the pack and im good

lilac stag
#

Certain people want BP spam meta. They need to go back to wherever they crawled out of.

vale pine
#

i don't think sub can be meta

#

even if it was good

#

people did stick to assass

vestal escarp
#

it cant anymore garf_sit

#

this season tuning was close between the three and good for sub

#

and still it happened what happened

swift tinsel
#

Top third would be nice

#

just under meta to keep the fotm out

tepid trellis
lilac stag
#

Enough people playing it that it registers on RIO would be nice

swift tinsel
#

^

#

but low enough for BTM

#

jk jk BTM is a meme

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

nah can't have sin and sub both be that strong

tepid trellis
#

well they have allowed outlaw to stay dog tier for 9 years of raiding

vestal escarp
#

i mean you cant rely on overtuning of a spec to be meta

tepid trellis
#

so why not

vale pine
#

haha

swift tinsel
#

double outlaw keys

vestal escarp
#

unless you're shaman kanyestare

vale pine
#

outlaw down bad

swift tinsel
#

gone are the days

vale pine
#

but outlaw was quite dominant in m+

#

guess not anymore

tepid trellis
#

hasent been since bfa

swift tinsel
#

was BFA the last time they were

twilit phoenix
#

triple outlaw keys in s3 DF

swift tinsel
#

last I remember seeing it

twilit phoenix
#

Zac, Casual, and Zero timing that 30 TOT

#

triple outlaw

#

it was like a r1 key

vestal escarp
#

i saw a RISE run of zac zeross and kush

#

they wiped at the maiden part of the first pull

cinder steppe
tepid trellis
#

nothing was target capped back then

#

but outlaw had a turbo broken azerite trait

#

called Keep your wits about you

kind edge
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
cinder steppe
vale pine
#

subtlety also did not rly compete in aoe for most of its existence

#

and assassination was in between

swift tinsel
#

didn't black powder not exist until bfa

vale pine
#

yes

#

it did not exist in bfa

#

and it was extremely bad in SL

#

DF was the first time it did some damage

swift tinsel
#

ah thats right

vestal escarp
#

Bp was alright s2 and 3 of SL, well alright for being BP

vale pine
#

BP got changed in SL

#

mid SL

#

the physical damage of it was buffed

#

but the shadow damage part nerfed

#

so overall nerf in scaling but buff in base damage

#

given that FW had lower uptime in aoe back then

#

was a momentary buff

#

however DF was the first time it did competitive damage

#

and even got nerfed after

#

it is why i am still surprised assassiantion was not touched since beta

swift tinsel
#

touched as in their aoe?

vale pine
#

10.2 also nerfed aoe again, because we have less energy in aoe

#

and ofc also more damage in cooldowns ever since

vestal escarp
#

spatter got nerfed 10.0 fuu

vale pine
#

keep in mind that BP is extremely buffed

#

we got a huge buff in TWW

swift tinsel
#

spatter didn't exist until 10.2 I thought

vale pine
#

and it is still worse than assassiantions aoe

vale pine
#

it came with a big rework to the assassiantion tree

swift tinsel
#

I've had a few friends pick up sin and say they have no idea where their aoe damage comes from and how its always there

#

yeah that's what I thought

vale pine
#

in an attempt to make it competitive in cleave and aoe

#

i mean just to be clear

#

i am not saying anything needs a nerf

#

or hate on a spec

#

but just logically seen, it made no sense to keep the damage of something this extreme

#

because historically things like this got nerfed heavily

fallow nimbus
#

You are allowed to hate on it

vestal escarp
#

yes

swift tinsel
#

isn't the tradeoff supposed to be they have this big aoe bc their single target is lacking when specced that way

vestal escarp
#

bp numbers are silly rn

cinder steppe
#

atleast do some changes after one season

vale pine
#

assassination does the best aoe and st ^^

#

but needs more than one target

swift tinsel
#

but they have to pick

vale pine
#

so yes

#

its single target is worse

#

if you have ONLY one target

#

but if you have more

#

well

#

and having more than one target is def. not common in m+ or raid

swift tinsel
#

in the sense of m+ where their aoe is most pronounced, isn't the tradeoff that their boss damage suffers

vale pine
half comet
#

Are any new rotational changes in the tc channels?

vale pine
#

there are no real rotational changes so far

half comet
#

O damn

vale pine
#

we still try out if we

#

well

#

i don't know if i want to forshadow bad gameplay

#

but there is potential to not use evis outside of cooldowns

#

to keep the stacks

vestal escarp
half comet
#

Nice

vale pine
#

which could happen

half comet
#

No daggers rogue

willow pawn
#

sub fixed on ptr?

half comet
#

Powder one trick

willow pawn
#

we do worse damage now?

vale pine
#

well you would rupture and snd

#

not bp

swift tinsel
#

from playing on ptr it actually doesn't really hurt to evisc outside of specific conditions between cooldowns

vale pine
#

because you want to keep your stacks

#

which sounds...

#

not very fun

half comet
#

Oh yeah I see

#

Surely that wont to through

#

Surely.

swift tinsel
#

and if they fix the 15% reset it'll be a lot less gamba

vale pine
#

cooldowns probably will be played exactly the same

swift tinsel
#

only real change I see is no sod/sectech without dance

#

which was what, once per 1.5 min cycle maybe

willow pawn
#

how many targets do we prioritize storm spam over shadowstrike?

#

8+?

swift tinsel
#

Chuffa's said something about only not-eviscing at flag cd <20sec like we do with sectech atm being a gain

#

which I tried out and its actually fairly reliable

#

but likely nothing wrong with fully anti-gamble playing outside of dance if youre realllllly worried about it

vestal escarp
#

depending on hero talents and talents choices

willow pawn
#

trickster rotten build

#

with shurikan storm

vestal escarp
#

in dance you press strike at all target counts as your builder but you want to use storm to cosnumer second rotten charge

vale pine
#

yes

shell willow
#

why storm on 2nd rotten charge?

willow pawn
#

35% damage increase and it crits

#

not sure why 2nd

#

tho

vestal escarp
#

rotten is bugged and storm consumes both charges if avaible

willow pawn
#

ahh

#

i dont spec premed for tornado build

vestal escarp
#

and strike crits do a lot of dmg so you wanna use rotten with strike in some capacity

#

tornado might not be the best talent choice for trickster

willow pawn
#

feels really good for some dungeons like cinder first pull and workshop first pull

#

just feels fun doing like 20mil xD

shell willow
#

Okay these aren't ST scenarios. I was tweaking

willow pawn
#

But for like ToP ill spec into premed

#

but i keep the first dance for both

#

instead of weaponmaster

#

You guys feel a difference speccing into tea path instead of cold blood?

vale pine
#

but you essentially want to use premediation on strike

#

and then storm for the find weakness spread

shell willow
#

okay makes sense

vale pine
#

(the bug is, storm will consume both rotten stacks because it does consume per target hit)

#

is the bug

#

its old

half comet
#

Do people stilll hold cold blood for the second sec tec

vestal escarp
#

better fix backstab

all hail our lord and savior Petko

swift tinsel
marsh magnet
#

Out of 200 top dps in raider.io just 6 rogues. All 6 are Assa. Subtlety is still shit in M+ confirmed 😛

uneven scarab
#

just because a spec is underplayed

steel zinc
uneven scarab
#

Does not mean its shit kekdog

marsh magnet
#

is not about low pop. is about that no subtlety has pushed enough to be in top 200s

swift tinsel
marsh magnet
#

i wonder why...

steel zinc
#

the link

marsh magnet
#

because Sub is shit

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

Most m+ stop at 1 brain cell

uneven scarab
#

sand ore
swift tinsel
#

sry

marsh magnet
#

we are not speaking of being able, or being in the top 200s. My question was if Subtlety is still shit.

steel zinc
marsh magnet
#

People get so defensive when they attack "their" spec/

thin lion
uneven scarab
tepid trellis
#

The real answer to that is. Assa does slightly more dmg from less efforts we are talking within a few %

uneven scarab
#

when you were told you were wrong

lilac stag
#

No people just call you out on bullshit when your descriptive are the equivalent of a 1st grader going poopies

slate lantern
lilac stag
#

if the spec is bad, people would say it

marsh magnet
#

so good or bad is fun?

tepid trellis
#

also everybody means "is the spec shit" in different ways

jolly pasture
lilac stag
#

Deathstalker, for example, is shit.

marsh magnet
#

not about if is meta and u get invited faster on M+?

thin lion
marsh magnet
#

i play neither

tepid trellis
#

to me shit would mean you arent able to get title on it

#

which you very much are

marsh magnet
lilac stag
#

Be one of 47374 Ret applying to dps and see how those invites roll in

tepid trellis
#

no?

swift tinsel
#

or can't be competitive in damage, which sub certainly is

marsh magnet
#

what i disliked was needing to go invi to do a good opening and chain pulls fuck u up

uneven scarab
#

bro doesnt even know title ranking, and hes claiming sub is shit and talking about top 200 kekdog

#

Chain pulls do not fuck up sub in the slightest

#

btw

tepid trellis
#

would be this

#

thats title

marsh magnet
#

i dont have time to play that much

#

but good for u! Grats

uneven scarab
lilac stag
marsh magnet
#

so is Subtlety going to be tier A atleast? so u don't get discriminated when pugging?

#

i hate assa having to wait for energy pooling is aids

tepid trellis
#

anything that isnt in the god comp is gonna get discriminated against

#

so GL with that

marsh magnet
#

that's why i was asking

lilac stag
marsh magnet
#

sorry if my "shit" take was taken too negative

#

didn't want to trigger the chat like that

swift tinsel
#

how would you expect it to be taken?

uneven scarab
#

Bro u came in here with some massive hater energy

tepid trellis
#

nobody knows whats gonna be meta next tier

swift tinsel
#

lmao

marsh magnet
#

i have never played lost ark too p2w

uneven scarab
#

What did you expect yeah

marsh magnet
#

i didnt hate at all

tepid trellis
#

the meta evolves over the first month or so of the tier

marsh magnet
#

i asked if it was shit

lilac stag
marsh magnet
#

u ppl are just being defensive. but i will be mature enough to say im sorry and let's leave it in the past

uneven scarab
tepid trellis
#

does sub have a shot at it? very likely since it has an absolute insane dmg profile next tier

marsh magnet
#

yeah is still shit is not meta so u will get discriminated in M+ if u have 2 hrs to play max daily u can't play a spec like that sadly

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

or dont play until the meta is settled

uneven scarab
lilac stag
#

Warlock. Not shit. Havoc not ahit.

swift tinsel
#

I need other people to confirm they fixed the on-hit for coup reset

#

bc I think they might have fixed it *edit they did not

marsh magnet
#

i have been playing Enh and boomy

#

but i love sub

lilac stag
#

mmhm

swift tinsel
#

its only resetting on first hit

#

or not at all

tepid trellis
#

anything can change with just 1 week worth of tuning

#

so anybody who says they know whats gonna be meta

#

is lying

marsh magnet
#

sadge

#

welp ty and sorry

tepid trellis
#

next few weeks is gonna be peppered with tuning changes

lilac stag
#

so spend the few hours a day and get 6 classes ready

#

Ez reroll

#

Chase the god comp

uneven scarab
#

If it makes you feel better sub looks likely to be the best rogue spec atm but can still change at any time

marsh magnet
#

thats great

#

outlaw is okish but i hate assa...

#

having to wait 3-4 seconds for energy wtf is that

#

😛

uneven scarab
#

Thats assa bruh

tepid trellis
#

just wait until he plays sub more xD

lilac stag
#

oh you’re gonna love sub out of dance. omegalul

uneven scarab
#

Intended single target assa design

#

LMFSO

tepid trellis
#

shits the same here lol

uneven scarab
#

yeah..

native zodiac
#

i was about to say thats not much different to sub omE

marsh magnet
#

damn :c

lilac stag
#

on to the next discord server

tepid trellis
#

energy classes usually arent global locked

#

so

marsh magnet
#

thats why Enh is so fun

#

is like playing drums

lilac stag
#

try fury

#

Buffed to the gills

uneven scarab
#

Warrior looks good on ptr

marsh magnet
#

😮

uneven scarab
#

Ya

Huge dam

marsh magnet
#

they started the same S1 remember??

#

then gutted

uneven scarab
#

Yeah

tepid trellis

i wont let it slide

marsh magnet
uneven scarab
#

we know

#

Just funny meme

slate lantern
marsh magnet
#

really? worked for me so far

#

started rogue druid and shamy S1

#

planning to do the same for S2

lilac stag
#

for someone that doesn’t have a lot of time to play that seems like a lot

#

frfr

marsh magnet
#

lol once u do the campaign u just spam dungeons

#

rogue is like 610 druid 620 and shamy 637

lilac stag
#

so you have one playable toon

marsh magnet
#

im 31yo i don't have the time anymore brotha

lilac stag
#

just figuring out what your angle is

marsh magnet
#

so if im planning on playing the game i want to b able to pug a fucking dungeon before the day is over

lilac stag
#

have you tried making friends?

marsh magnet
#

no

lilac stag
#

could save you some waiting around

marsh magnet
#

i don't know if u realized but my takes get kinda weird and ppl hate on me

#

XDD

sand ore
#

I think by weird you mean bad

marsh magnet
#

XDD

uneven scarab
#

LOL

swift tinsel
#

Okay I just chained 10 BP's on 4 targets with FW outside of dance with no reset something is up

marsh magnet
#

im trolling

#

welp im leaving take care and thanks for the insight

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

if they fixed SF affecting reset chance

#

coup is resetting way less often and same with BP. Might be anecdotal

#

need to bulk test to get better numbers tho

barren wren
#

do we know what BoEs will drop from new raid ?

swift tinsel
#

helm/boots

barren wren
#

I'm just wondering if there will be something like ring in s1

lilac stag
#

Look at raid guide on ptr

#

Should show everything

swift tinsel
#

wowhead has them all too in the raid page

#

only universal slot is neck

barren wren
#

vers/mastery boots

#

neck is like for assassination

#

well ty for info

swift tinsel
#

its not bad for sub, we don't have a ver/mastery non-crafted neck

swift tinsel
#

idr if they cap BoE ilvl but its competetive with our likely BiS

#

its fine, we have tons of mastery from other gear next season

#

almost 20k with certain gear setups

uneven scarab
#

The haste mastery neck?

#

4300 mastery is a good bit

#

wait does the roulette wheel ring just drop with random stats?

swift tinsel
#

afaik yeah

#

like throne of four winds raid in cata

uneven scarab
#

Oooh

barren wren
#

imagine vers mastery drop

uneven scarab
#

Thats enticing

#

Exactly

#

Even more rng

#

and when it hits ur gonna pog

gritty gorge
#

Which poisons do we use in M+?

woven ruin
#

any sub ptr players to watch?

thin lion
#

casual addict has some ptr videos on yt

#

as sub

woven ruin
#

cool

thin lion
#

but remember its bugged on ptr so dmg numbers can be highly inflated or deflated

uneven scarab
woven ruin
#

still bugged? damn nvm

thin lion
#

and yeah gameplay wise it hasnt changed that much except for minor things like to gambling tier set boni befor flag/blades window

#

not gambling*

#

if i read anything written here correct

formal pollen
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

gameplay is pmuch not big

#

we might not use evis outside of cooldowns to preserve stacks

#

but also depends on how the tier works after bugfixes

swift tinsel
#

I think they might have fixed the SF part but I need to look into it more

#

which I can't really test until tonight

thin lion
#

sorry but i cant wrap my head about it, what does sf stand for?

#

😄

swift tinsel
#

Shadowed Finishers

#

its been doubling the reset chance because it counts both the physical and shadow hits of Evisc/BP

#

so it turns Coup into 6 separate damage events, each with their own 15% chance

#

and BP gets 2x chances to reset per target hit

#

which is obviously not ideal lol

thin lion
#

so basically BP and coup rset tier set

swift tinsel
#

did some quick looking when ptr came back up this afternoon but I couldn't spend more than 20mins looking at it

#

and coup and bp have been resetting seemingly less often

lilac stag
#

So coup and BP don’t seem to be resetting as much. It maybe just me but build seems to take longer to restart after clearing.

young path
lilac stag
#

still sitting here after full 90 sec send. other times it's gone at 4

alpine wraith
#

yea rng be rng

#

aaay

tepid trellis
#

10rppm

#

and they removed stuff like autos and rupture ticks

#

so could just be a meh run

lilac stag
#

yea

#

its very all over just from doing default stuff

young path
#

Here ya go… 14 mists… few days ago, feel free to look up their io’s

lilac stag
#

may actually need to rebind SnD

young path
#

“For the meme’s” sub ain’t “shit” this season

Just under represented

lilac stag
#

to keep it going depending on not spending evic out of dance

swift tinsel
#

I've been having to hard cast it every so often so it might be worth if you're playing full safe-mode

alpine wraith
#

i have some solutions for that kinda

#

basically you dont insta dance when sec tech is ready after cds

#

but wait until CB then use dance after that one instead of just after cds

#

then it gets easier to piggyback the stacks

#

as in instead of

#

move the 30 one to the 60-70

swift tinsel
#

I've tried that a bit and it feels pretty good, I'm on board

alpine wraith
#

that way you do the SoD alone at 30 and if it resets you get a lot of time to get them back and also you get 3 dances where you get high stacks

#

so if you reset after cds until third dance with CB it is whatever

#

but then you get them all the time

lilac stag
#

Just autoattacking it took 53 seconds to go from 0-10 stacks

alpine wraith
#

yea it is quite safe getting to 10 stacks from that second dance at like 4x to 90

#

that way you only risk resets at the SoD alone after pull cds

#

and you reset like 3-5 at most

swift tinsel
#

I thought they took autos off the stacking, unless its from instant poison

alpine wraith
#

depends it also procs from hunt them down and other things

#

like poisons maybe yea

lilac stag
#

I mean you’re not running around without poisons

alpine wraith
#

they mainly did it for rupture ticks

swift tinsel
#

mostly mean I thought they tied it to ability damage only

#

yeah rupture was nice so you could get stacks while off boss

lilac stag
#

Poison is a spell 1.5 sec cast time

swift tinsel
#

based

#

noice

lilac stag
#

rupture does nothing as well

swift tinsel
#

I wonder if they forgot to remove Corrupt the Blood

alpine wraith
#

yea dont tell anyone

#

about poisons

lilac stag
#

What about poisons?

#

I was talking rupture. omegalul

#

carefully deletes message history

swift tinsel
#

wondered why chat was jumping around lol

dry plank
#

Boss damage xD

lilac stag
#

We’re so back!

vestal escarp

Impossible as sub to die

dry plank

He was alive entire fight

jaunty heath

Okay but

What fight

#

This has to be immense downtime

lilac stag
#

But yeah BM and Mage & Locks are all thumping

dry plank
#

It was a boss near stairs don’t remember name of it

lilac stag
#

Fury and havoc too

#

Rip rogue. It’s joever

jaunty heath

The 400% dps increase bug

vestal escarp

tbf all bosses are somewhere near stairs lol

dry plank
umbral socket

Wasnt one of the bugs intended in latest patch notes or smth?

swift tinsel
#

ah, sub sucks at 2 target cleave lol

umbral socket
#

Idk i am not havoc playet

tepid trellis

@random hare Ayo , what is this dps sir

swift tinsel
#

also rerolls sub against a mage onetrick, good luck in general

shrewd grail
#

I thought you were a gamer

Guys we are fine. Just few screenshot where zeros not top1 relax

twilit phoenix
#

Ya azsuna is the literal fire mage god

shrewd grail
#

Where is jpc

swift tinsel
#

check runescape

shrewd grail
#

Maybe he can save sub

swift tinsel
#

supposedly he's coming back for s2

#

stream when

twilit phoenix
#

He’s at a gooning addiction retreat

#

#roadtorecovery

swift tinsel
#

he still at MIT

twilit phoenix
#

Yeah he’s finishing his thesis on fluid particle cryptography

swift tinsel

wicked

shrewd grail

Any dh news since last buff ?

swift tinsel

try fel hammer

lilac stag
# shrewd grail Where is jpc

jpc is a German music-retailer based in Georgsmarienhütte near Osnabrück. The name stands for jazz-pop-classic.

shrewd grail
#

Ty bro

dry plank
#

Did not make a screen but zeros was below hunter which was dead entire p2 on last boss

#

That’s weird but he is doing prot pala damgur

twilit phoenix
#

would be funny if hunter pets stayed alive if hunter dies

shrewd grail
#

Bring him here

twilit phoenix
#

and still did more ST than rogue

alpine wraith
#

please stop blaming fellow rogues

dry plank
#

We are not blaming. It’s just weird. Zeros good rogue

#

Which means we are fuked or?

tulip gorge
#

sub is probably bugged as hell

shrewd grail
#

Zeros used to put casualaddict in no pants position

#

Now protpal take zeros pants

dry plank
#

Overall does not matter they were dying a lot on this 13

shrewd grail
#

Fighting tank damage in key is wild

dry plank
#

On bosses yes

shrewd grail
#

Also in aoe

swift tinsel
#

didn't they just buff tank dam by like 20% for all of them

shrewd grail
#

I've heard outlaw also suxx 11.1 is that true or ?

dry plank
#

It coz of deaths

upper narwhal
#

3 more weeks of tuning before raid stressing about PTR balance is still not worth it imo

shrewd grail
#

Yeah blizzard Always release a really good tuning patch before rwf

#

They never fail this mission

lilac stag
#

especially when the spec has nearly zero data during testing. omegalul

shrewd grail
#

0 data for a reason i guess kekw

tulip gorge
#

if they bothered to make the spec testable they would get data, but oh well peeposhrug

dry plank
#

They don’t test internally and rely on players of course

#

And they surely care a lot about perfect balancing

random hare
#

u know that i have r1 logs on sub right

#

i play all specs

random hare
vale pine
random hare
#

no longer 10 stacks

#

died in cds 2 times that key tho it was a messy run the dungeon is hard

#

also mage is the best spec in the game atm on ptr

#

100% meta in high keys

tepid trellis
#

skill diff

#

unlucko

thin lion
random hare
#

yea its very bad in keys rn

hazy breach
random hare
#

u barely have uptime

hazy breach
#

They made it not perma 10 stacks

#

But its still bugged as hell

shrewd grail
#

St looks shit ?

random hare
#

well

#

the dung had 2 target fight

#

im not playing decent st talents

#

so it can do good st i think

#

its just mage and bm are too op atm

vale pine
#

they fixed the bug that made it do a lot of damage

tepid trellis
#

having 66% chance of your sectech not getting any benefit from tier

vale pine
#

^^

tepid trellis
#

does indeed make your dmg kinda not great

hazy breach
#

When it was perma 10 stacks

tepid trellis
#

yeh and not that you have lost the BP helping your overall

#

it just shows its current state

random hare
#

also

#

60% shadow dmg

#

from 4 set

#

was perma kinda

#

in dance

tepid trellis
#

well if you have 10 stacks yes

random hare
#

ye we always had 10 stacks

#

vigor+tea made raw bp dmg good

#

because we just spammed dance here and there

#

probably could've played trickster instead on that key but it is what it is

hazy breach
#

Its gonna be fine once they they make the tier actually work

random hare
#

for raid ye

#

but m+ sin is rly powerful

#

prob stronger than warrior even

#

in higher keys tho

lilac stag
#

Something changed with it. Didn’t seem to be munching as many stacks with coup

random hare
#

well its working correctly i think with the stacks

#

not sure tho but i think it does function as it says

lilac stag
#

Had to leave for teaching so didn’t go crazy

random hare
#

its just the design is verybad

shrewd grail
#

The 4p is bugged?

hazy breach
#

Unless it was fixed today the tier is still bugged yes

lilac stag
#

There was a patch 60 minutes ago

shrewd grail
#

Is there new bugg ?

#

Oh ok

random hare
#

the 60 min patch definitely didnt involve tier set fixes i think

#

the tier set fixes were yesterday

#

it might be a firemage+destro aug season monkaSpeed

#

i swear that spec does more than anything rn

#

destro too op

lilac stag
#

Hunter posted this. 13 priory.

random hare
#

fun times when outlaw did 10m overall in priory

vestal escarp
#

?

random hare
#

30m dps burst on 5 targets omegalul

#

the buff made us do insane dps

#

double the dps basically

swift tinsel
#

Sectech is still bugged damage-wise, but SF reset is feeling less impactful/fixed but need to look into it more

#

as of patch this afternoon

thin lion
#

is assa also as bugged as sub atm?

alpine wraith
#

it is undertuned too

#

double down

thin lion
#

so the only rogue which is working as intended is oulaw?

#

outlaw*

vale pine
#

assa 4 set needs numbers

random hare
#

sin's 4 set is completely useless tho

#

so u just play 2 set + 2 set

lapis hatch
#

what should uptime be in aoe for nimble flurry

vestal escarp
#

you start your dances with sectech so it's pretty much all you need

#

whatever it is

thin lion
tepid trellis
#

shit drops all the time

swift tinsel
#

Really? I’ll have to hop on again after work bc it was like one in three coups was resetting instead of 80-90%

tepid trellis
#

9 out of the 15 coups i did over the last 10min

#

dropping winning streak

swift tinsel
#

Yeesh

tepid trellis
#

very nice indeed

#

thats like 66% drop rate or smth

swift tinsel
#

If it was 6 hits you’d expect closer to 90%

tepid trellis
#

which kinda adds up

#

thats not entirely how it works

tepid trellis
#

so it adds up

#

sorta

swift tinsel
#

Where’s that number come from?

hazy breach
#

1 - 0.85^6

tepid trellis
#

just from a probablity calculator

swift tinsel
#

Ah makes sense

tepid trellis
#

set that shit to like 2sec

#

0 headaches at that point

shrewd grail
#

Sorry guyz what is coups?

tepid trellis
#

fuck if we dont get a 15% chance on Shadowcraft refund finisher

#

but atleast there isnt any headaches

tepid trellis
shrewd grail
#

So the drop chance is 9/15 coup so 66% is that what you mean?
