chilly kite
#

am i just doing it wrong, i'm getting much higher damage using tea instead of CB, grantide i'm not optimized what so ever for sub so i'm all crit/mastery

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

lol actually not bad

alpine wraith
#

likely you are playing it wrong yes

#

but the question is how?

chilly kite
#

probably because i've played sin for so long lol

#

good morning prophet

#

hello

#

or goodnight, i'm headed to bed

young mural
#

lol

#

good night

Are there any changes to the M+ trickster build?

swift tinsel
leaden prairie
#

i just watn to finish at 5

swift tinsel
#

new meta

leaden prairie
#

!

#

why build atr 5

young mural
#

zacro the troller

leaden prairie
#

also yu are prolly messing up

#

your sim

#

no cap

#

i can check for you

swift tinsel
#

actions.build+=/shuriken_storm,if=combo_points.deficit=2&buff.shadow_dance.up is the call I added for storm

leaden prairie
#

well send the whole sim

tribal blade
#

is that shuriken toss in dance i'm looking at

#

or am i high

swift tinsel
#

I'm messing around with apl modifying to see if I can do stuff lol

tribal blade
#

ahhhh i see

alpine wraith
#

in a world of 100000 iterations more cps more damage

#

when you crit

#

the diff between a 5 cp finisher and a 7 one is around 20%

#

or a bit more

#

builder dmg is not that big

#

and gcd economy in dance is already quite fine and shadowcraft resets help a bit making 5 cp finishers not as good

tribal blade
#

being at 5 CP in dance with skyfury is quite rare

#

whenever i hit 5CP in dance i notice there's no shammy in the raid/party

#

and then i mentally check out

keen dome
#

Ye, same

#

No blue class? no care

tribal blade
#

ok i got sleep night night lovelies who are maining sub and will have a great tier suffering with me ❤️

leaden prairie
#

you remember how we said its from top to bottom

swift tinsel
#

ye

leaden prairie
#

that means the first line encountered that is true

#

will activate

#

in your sim here

#

all the lines before shuriken

#

if one of them activate

#

you never get to it

#

in that case shadowstrike

swift tinsel
#

ahhh duh

leaden prairie
#

you would put it above all the lines really in your case

swift tinsel
#

I'll send that then and see, thanks!

leaden prairie
#

dont forget the first line of an action list is with =

#

the others are with +=/

swift tinsel
#

appreciate the help

vestal escarp
#

Keep it rerolling zac

keen dome
#

Learning programming with Sub rogues. hell yeah

swift tinsel
#

so its just actions.build=shuriken_toss/storm or build=/

leaden prairie
#

you have to think of it as a variable, its the variable build, if you put = you start over since you reafect the variable

#

and then +=/ add it to the list

swift tinsel
#

gotcha

leaden prairie
#

since well its an action list

swift tinsel
#

makes sense

#

yeah its showing as a loss now by like 2-2.7k each

#

this is fun lol

swift tinsel
#

#

Hey all. Is maghar orc is bis pick for sub spec?

lilac stag
#

yes

vale pine
#

orc or maghar orc

#

both are about the same

#

also terrible for transmogs

swift tinsel
#

um excuse me

bleak night
#

dont strikethrough that, thats the most important part

swift tinsel
#

orc female is one of the better transmog models

bleak night
swift tinsel
#

nelf/human female > orc female > belf/velf/nightborne mf

human male supremacy

!prepull

#

Undead also have their grippers out for no reason

swift tinsel
#

yeah like I get the lore reasons for the ones that have them exposed

alpine wraith
#

you only need to use symbols pre pull

swift tinsel
#

but gimme the option

alpine wraith
#

ideally at least 20 to 17 secs before pull for optimal usage

#

but if only for supercharger as soon as you rezz you can use it

#

the other one is also to get 2 crit strikes from rotten but it is whatever

#

as you might expect

swift tinsel
#

also humans can't frontflip so they lose to nelf on principle

#

how are you gonna go for frontflip streaks with your straight jumps

the feet don't look orc like

Human and elf are best for tmogs

sub is fun af atm

swift tinsel

I'm already a human, why be one in game

alpine wraith
#

yea it is cool hope it keeps you enterteined the burst is so good

clever delta
#

we went from shaman healer in every key to no shaman helaer ever

there are many min max things to do in keys with supercharger and tfd

that makes me remember i have to config XcT again

i made it show sec tech FULL JOINED DMG

#

and it was kinda cool

vale pine
#

to be fair, humans have somehting going for them

#

they are not mechagnomes

swift tinsel
#

they had Varian Wrynn

proper latch
swift tinsel
#

I don't even have them unlocked lol

uneven scarab
#

I can respect all the races but mechagnome man

#

So ugly

swift tinsel
#

because nothing could ever force me to roll one

uneven scarab
#

ya same

alpine wraith
#

havent found a target count wa that does not brick sometimes

swift tinsel
wild hornet
vale pine
#

human is dps wise great, and it is one of the better model for transmogs because its basically the standard model.

swift tinsel
#

True, I'm just bored of seeing every armor set modeled on human male on wowhead

alpine wraith
#

i began as undead then went human the blood elf then back to human

swift tinsel
#

Lol I was undead then human then blood elf now maghar

bleak night
#

blizzard makes every armor set for human then just hope it works for everyone else

swift tinsel
#

Actually I think my rogue was a troll male first back in cata

bleak night
#

then we end up with glaringly obvious transmog bugs on other races that never get addressed

swift tinsel
#

idk what it is but armor on human male model looks like 10% bigger than it should

#

homeboy looks a bit bloated

#

there real question is

#

do you have a mog in a dress with dual cleavers

uneven scarab
#

No but i have a mog with double kitchen forks

#

goes kinda hard

swift tinsel
#

that's badass ngl

vale pine
#

i am still undead

#

and i hate how much of a dps loss the racial is

#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

people: "bruh, i can't play this trinket its 0.3% worse"
meanwhile: "play whatever race looks best to you" means:

alpine wraith
#

ehehe

#

you are permitted to use CB on second sec tech

uneven scarab
#

Man undead needs a buff so bad

#

buff touch of the grave!!

wild hornet
#

if i wasnt a fan of human id play the race w highest dps

#

but wts is as important as my left eyeball

uneven scarab
#

i was undead forever but swapped to human at the start of df

wild hornet
#

also im an avid hater of horde

uneven scarab
#

smh

wild hornet
#

all my characters that can be human are human

uneven scarab
#

horde goated

swift tinsel
#

been horde 99% of my time playing but swapped to alliance to pvp with friends when human racial was super broken

wild hornet
#

instead of playing with m*dallion

vale pine
#

sry, this is the right value, had the wrong race to compare to selected

swift tinsel
#

this was like 10+ years ago and they all quit to play League so I went back to horde lol

wild hornet
#

troll, orc or what

vale pine
#

orc

#

ye

#

orc/maghar orc

#

undead dps racial is terrible, and would need a massive buff/rework

serene moat
#

Which weakaura is your guy’s favorite one?

wild hornet
#

as a minmaxer id rather lose 2% than look at something i dont wanna look

vale pine
#

but dps racial balance is off for long

wild hornet
lilac stag

#

i remember it being turbo good

swift tinsel

its just flat damage

sometimes

even to the point id play horde so i can play undead

turbo classic

but touch of the grave is doodoo

wild hornet
#

i mean to be fair i also sort of agree w ppl that say to play smth that looks cool

#

id hate to look at an orc 24/7

uneven scarab
#

Touch of the grave just hasnt really scaled at all

#

compared to other racials

#

I feel like

swift tinsel
#

nah its like Fatal Intent level damage

wild hornet
serene moat
#

Yeah, but which of the wa do you guys prefer?🤓

wild hornet

including short people
||for legal reasons this is a joke||

uneven scarab

they’re all good in their own right tho

swift tinsel
#

Goblin jump is unironically useful very often

wild hornet
#

but my priest jumped off platform with it

uneven scarab
#

Dude when i was healing on my resto sham

#

Goblin jump went crazy

swift tinsel
#

as a pseudo-blink it goes hard

uneven scarab
#

Fr

wild hornet
#

isnt it more like a disengage

pulsar hemlock
swift tinsel
#

idr, it didn't interrupt casting did it

#

I've only ever been goblin on melee

uneven scarab
#

i dont think it does but idk

#

Its been forever

random hare
#

ok its time

random hare
#

to absolutely

#

fuck this dungeon

#

in the ass

#

and open up a new asshole for siege

tidal marsh
alpine wraith

And to not be a gobo

swift tinsel
#

doesn't ve port have a cast time

lilac stag
#

it has a very fast travel time now. Needs a second of planning.

random hare
#

they jsut kept dying

#

going to ptr

#

cba XDD

uneven scarab
acoustic lodge
#

Odd, question. Do devs purposefully keep dead talents around for fun? like, gore maw is never used and then the weird shrould speed bost to get the SoD Cd reduction

lilac stag
#

you don’t want the real answer

uneven scarab
#

Shroud speed boost goated

#

couldnt tell you why they decide to leave goremaw in forever tho

jaunty heath
#

why when i press SS>Flag>Evis>Vanish that this vanish pulls me out of stealth?

acoustic lodge
#

Tbh, I'd like to know!

vale pine
# random hare

it is time, i think your colors look way to washed you need a better color profile

#

also still no font with unicode support

uneven scarab
lilac stag
# acoustic lodge Tbh, I'd like to know!

The spec is one of the least played. Even with the reworks it’s never fully iterated on so 1/2 ass shit gets left in while the good stuff is buggy as hell. You end up playing sub because you love it and just get used to dealing with it.

vale pine
uneven scarab
acoustic lodge
#

I'm not trying to hate on realz or cause negative energy. I just like to understand why things are down ya know? like there has to be a reason because I feel like they don't just make something with no intent.

vale pine
#

uhh hot take

#

boxbox was not that good, eu had quite a lot of better riven otps

lilac stag
uneven scarab
#

i always like to wonder if any blizz employees actually play sub rogue

swift tinsel
#

they had him working on rogue and dh rework in same ptr cycle

uneven scarab
acoustic lodge
#

jesus poor guy

vale pine
#

he is entertaning for sure

acoustic lodge
#

THen DH was in a horrible spot so he had to dedicate more time to havoc

lilac stag
#

the time allocated to rogue is either insufficient or mismanaged. Take your pick.

swift tinsel
#

and gets funneled into assassination

uneven scarab
acoustic lodge
lilac stag
#

Have a 35% BP buff while you wait.

uneven scarab
#

for the finisher spec

swift tinsel
#

if we ever end up back into Lingering Shadow...

#

I shall cry

uneven scarab
#

i think ill be logging into fire mage if that happens

#

Basically ranged sub rogue

acoustic lodge
#

I really enjoy how sub plays at the moment. Thank guys for the clarification!

swift tinsel
#

We're def in a good spot gameplay wise

vale pine
vale pine
#

the talents we can play are good

swift tinsel
#

if they inject some meaningful choice points, that'd be pretty cool

vale pine
#

it would be amazing

uneven scarab
#

Yeah i mean the stuff that works, works good

vale pine
#

but hey, we can't have everything

swift tinsel
#

like right now, we switch 1 talent between st and aoe

acoustic lodge
vale pine
#

subtlety will remain one of the lowest played specs in the game

#

and as such we won't get that much attention

acoustic lodge
#

WIld to me

swift tinsel
#

they'd have to make it more accessible if they want bigger engagement numbers with the spec

vale pine
#

its intentional

acoustic lodge
#

I remember, enhance was barely played until they got a a giga rework. Now it's all over the place

vale pine
#

they can lower dev time/costs by focusing on what people actually play

uneven scarab
#

Community perception also still kinda digs this spec into a hole

acoustic lodge
#

^

uneven scarab
#

“pvp spec”

acoustic lodge
#

Facts

lilac stag
#

@tepid trellis you around? Trashpandascheme

vale pine
#

it also makes a lot of sense why assassiantion is typically tuned higher since S4 or gets more attention, it is easy to pick up and perform compared to more complex designs like subtlety has.

swift tinsel
#

and has a lot of important niches like funnel, execute, etc

uneven scarab
#

Sub needs an execute

#

Fr

#

We are the executioner no?

swift tinsel
#

Edge of Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

replace goremaw

#

for the love of god

vale pine
#

wdym

swift tinsel
#

with Edge of Night

vale pine
#

people wanted goremaws back for some reason

#

i still haven't figured out

swift tinsel
#

Idk if that's true

uneven scarab
#

who tf wanted it

swift tinsel
#

unless you mean devs

uneven scarab
#

besides hacha maybe

bleak night
#

it was me

#

im people

#

what does goremaws do

swift tinsel
#

the 10.2 rework felt like they grabbed prev legendaries, azerite powers, and cov abilities and threw them in

vale pine
#

goremaws is overall not bad in design

#

its just

swift tinsel
#

it doesn't fit

#

imo

shell willow
#

goremaw is kinda pvp niche

vale pine
#

the problem comes from it solving a problem that does not exist anymore

swift tinsel
#

It can be a pvp talent

uneven scarab
#

It doesnt really fit with the way sub plays at all rn

vale pine
#

we don't struggle with energy

acoustic lodge
#

Tbh edge of night was legit. I wish they’d give us another cool weapon interaction like that

swift tinsel
#

yeah we don't care about energy

vale pine
#

during cooldowns

#

so goremwas is kinda whatever

shell willow
#

it needs to be redesigned or binned

solemn creek
swift tinsel
#

and as an in-between cd button it doesn't really do much to fix like you said a problem that doesn't exist

vale pine
#

and everyone who likes the idea behind goremaws

#

and tells me its their favorite spell

swift tinsel
#

having an opt-in execute would be so much better

acoustic lodge
#

Midnight will be our expansion for a sub rework. I can feel it

vale pine
#

also told me how they would change EVERYTHING about the spell

#

basiclaly making it a completely new spell

#

just keeping the name

shell willow
#

execute would make this spec a shoe in though you'd swap been sin and sub based on fight timers at that point

uneven scarab
#

I mean the name is cool

swift tinsel
#

also I'd like to see weaponmaster and swift death swapped

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

since the lower left is all SoD talents

uneven scarab
#

the right side of the tree is really where i question stuff

vale pine
#

one example

swift tinsel
#

and rework some of the pathing

#

right side makes little sense too

vale pine
#

"what if goremaws instead of giving energy empowered a finisher to do more damage"

#

"and make it give you full combo points"

swift tinsel
#

so combined flag/blades

clever delta
#

rewrite the trinket guides righ meow

swift tinsel
#

mini

vale pine
#

"and it should do at least as much damage as secret technique"

#

"maybe it should cleave too"

wild hornet
#

what if goremaw acted like touch of death but it was from 95% health instead

still sundial
#

Sounds good, ship it

swift tinsel
#

"and also does my taxes and laundry"

#

I think all of that points to the issue of goremaw in that if you replaced it with anything else, its a positive change

vale pine
#

don't get me wrong, a goremaws which is a auto cleave secret technqiue, fills your full combo bar and gives you 3 charges of supercharger sounds great

#

but thats exactly my point

#

thats not goremaws

#

thats a new spell

shell willow
#

haha word

swift tinsel
#

put goremaw where tornado is

still sundial
#

Make it half cd if target is below 30% too

wild hornet
#

i think in faith of this season goremaw should have the following stats:

99.99% chance with a successful crit that you oneshot the target youre hitting...

0.01% chance you get banned from the game

swift tinsel
#

I think anything builder-related doesn't really belong, so scrap WM, PV, Lingering

shell willow
#

if it was like a version of serrated bone. on pull you stab em with goremaw and all your shadow damage done infuses the dagger when you are ready you reactivate to release all the stored damage

still sundial
swift tinsel
#

unless its dance-dependent and buffs strike

vale pine
#

we have a lot of bad talents

#

but hey

wild hornet
vale pine
#

sub is fun

swift tinsel
#

sub is super fun

shell willow
#

sub is an absolute blast

wild hornet
#

ret got a bit boring

swift tinsel
#

I think if we had some options to change the flavor of some of that fun, it's healthy

uneven scarab
#

Just give all rogue specs iron wire and we can be meta too

wild hornet
#

at least i hope this season i get pink parses

shell willow
#

reminds me of ret when it was a 2min burst spec

wild hornet
#

and not give up on sub

swift tinsel
#

if they take 1.5min niche and make us 1min or 2, that's bad

still sundial
wild hornet
#

and everyone was a mouse clicker

shell willow
#

lol that is a call back to a dark time bro

uneven scarab
vale pine
karmic hull
#

Red was OP bro

shell willow
#

ret got way too boring for me no complexity

wild hornet
#

tru

#

i had fun tanking

shell willow
#

I like sub having to actually think

vale pine
#

its not all iron wire

wild hornet
#

silken and queen

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

ret gets holy power thrown at them at breakneck speed, it feels kinda bad

wild hornet
#

(i had 0 choice i had to)

vale pine
#

the spec had iron wire in DF already

shell willow
#

just hate not being able to like tank or heal for faster q's but sobeit

vale pine
#

its just that

wild hornet
#

divine purpose procs

vale pine
#

assassiantion did look completely busted in m+ since beta

wild hornet
#

and the free DS cast

vale pine
#

and somehow dodged all nerfs

wild hornet
#

on top of that

vestal escarp
#

@vale pine source for sub is you?

vale pine
vale pine
karmic hull
#

Arcane lol

wild hornet
vale pine
#

so the ring being slightly worse than a 678 would put it in the ilevel 678 bracket

#

ye

swift tinsel
#

lemme de-ilvl my ring plz

shell willow
#

Do we drop it due to the amount of stats lose? The TOP ring is a ton of vers and mastery. @vale pine

uneven scarab
#

Actually my ring isnt even maxxed

#

I do get to drop it earlier garf

swift tinsel
#

top ring 678 is bis

vale pine
#

its like 0.3% dps diffrence

#

which is rly low

#

still means we will use the ring for quite a while

shell willow
#

i'll likely start running top gears next week but i figured we'd keep the ring for quite sometime

swift tinsel
#

which goes against their directly-stated goal for the ring lmao

vale pine
#

what was their goal

#

it being irrelevant in 11.1?

shell willow
#

half way through season replace

swift tinsel
#

they wanted it to be heroic-competetive

wild hornet
#

especially before you get one with dinars

swift tinsel
#

but replaced before mythic gear

shell willow
#

yeah the mythic rings are likely dinars

vale pine
#

ye

wild hornet
vale pine
#

some tanks

swift tinsel
#

lemme see if I can find the post

vale pine
#

might play the ring in s3

#

even

swift tinsel
#

but basically the stated intent is to have circlet until you get max hero track rings

wild hornet
shell willow
#

lol unless they nerf the ring not happening

wild hornet
#

like for ret if they could use 2 they would

wild hornet
shell willow
#

I'm fine with them being solid for s2 and getting replaced in s3

#

the ring choices are kinda walls to acquire

wild hornet
#

i still have 0 clue why they make a majority of bis gear on the last bosses

shell willow
#

atleast it isnt weapons

wild hornet
#

true that would be worse

shell willow
#

this season is especially bad in that respect

vale pine
#

tbh all these short term systems are easy to solve

#

just give players who did not play the content

#

a option to get the ring

#

via a dialog or so

wild hornet
vale pine
#

they can

#

but need to farm quite long

#

it not low effort

shell willow
#

yeah on a new character it is a few hours to get it upgraded which isnt terrible when you think about the dps gain

wild hornet
#

i think it took me like 2 hours on my rogue

#

to get it to 658

swift tinsel
#

the full upgrade is an hour, maybe two. not sure how long it takes to get gems

vale pine
#

and people hate to need to go back to old content to get current content power level

bleak night
#

its pretty low effort

wild hornet
#

u can buy them

swift tinsel
#

yeah

bleak night
#

but i agree people shouldnt need to go back and farm old content to do current content

swift tinsel
#

idk how long it would take someone doing it for the first time

#

the gems

bleak night
#

its fast

wild hornet
#

its not that slow

#

the bosses are easy to kill

shell willow
#

the gems just need to go to each mini boss and kill

#

it really isnt that bad

wild hornet
#

except where stalagmatos was bugged

bleak night
#

you can straight up buy skipper even without having it before

wild hornet
#

and people were farming him for hours

bleak night
#

and the bosses are perma dying

wild hornet
#

just to not get a gem

#

i saw the same 6 people from when i left for work

shell willow
#

when you think about the time investment and roi for the item it think it is a pretty fair trade off

#

whats the alternative? Farming M+ for a trinket that WILL NEVER DROP

wild hornet
#

i think they should make dungeons and raids mutually exclusive

#

as in being able to get fully geared with only one

vale pine
#

splitting content isn't good

bleak night
#

that sounds like a terrible idea

wild hornet
#

i was just about to say im coming with the worst take

uneven scarab
#

Bring me back to doti farming 60+ runs for the daggers

swift tinsel
#

NO

uneven scarab
#

Great times garf

shell willow
#

oof

bleak night
#

me when i never got the dagger

wild hornet
#

i never said its a good idea

#

i just would avoid mplus if i could

uneven scarab
#

I got two back to back after the 60 runs lmao

vale pine
#

like let me give you one example

wild hornet
uneven scarab
#

crazy

vale pine
#

we currently have delves, m+ and raid

#

now lets assume you can only farm gear for the content you do

#

so delve gear would only be upscaled to work during delves

acoustic lodge
#

Delves are so bad

vale pine
#

mythic+ gear only upscaled in mythic+

bleak night
#

when is blizzard going to give up and admit transmog is more of a pillar content for wow than delves

swift tinsel
#

I actually quite like delves

bleak night
#

i dont think they're terrible

vale pine
#

and raid gear only upscaled in raid

#

for blizz this would be insane

#

because you now created 3 times the content

bleak night
#

but i dont think they deserve to be a pillar like they claim they want it to be

vale pine
#

because if you would want to paly mythic+ you suddenly can throw out all other gear and only can farm in m+

bleak night
#

they do keep improving them though so maybe my opinion changes in a few years

vale pine
#

and for delves/raid the same

wild hornet
#

by mutually exclusive i didnt mean that you can only use the gear for raid/mplus

vale pine
#

but for a player

#

i can't farm gear outside of raids anymore

#

sounds like a bad time

wild hornet
#

i meant about being able to fully gear from 1 to do something else

shell willow
#

This is why pvp is so frustrating

#

To play optimally you effectively need multiple gear sets

vale pine
#

no?

wild hornet
#

i meant being able to fully gear from 1

shell willow
#

Which increases play time but its annoying as hell

wild hornet
#

without the need of the other

vale pine
#

like, per definition

shell willow
#

that gets boring and kills the player pop

wild hornet
bleak night
#

but people lost their shit

wild hornet
#

word it how i wanted it to sound

swift tinsel
#

having multiple pathways allows for more engagement

#

bc if you only get gear from raid which you kill each boss once

vale pine
#

the opposite would be

shell willow
#

Yeah also speeds up gear acquisiton

swift tinsel
#

you're hard locked out

vale pine
#

a token system you can buy gear

#

you can farm tokens in any cotent at diffrent rates

shell willow
#

without M+ seasons would have to last a whole year or you'd have to run lfr/normal/heroic every week

wild hornet
swift tinsel
#

plus raids don't give things like rio rating with prestige attached

wild hornet
#

i just threw it as an example

swift tinsel
#

you have stuff like HoF sure

#

but that's a diff metric and isn't pushable

shell willow
#

Yeah of course but whats the point of say doing m+ if the best gear comes out of raiding.

swift tinsel
#

ladders

#

challenge

wild hornet
#

some people do it for the challenge

shell willow
#

Lol

wild hornet
#

i only do it so i dont get benched

shell willow
#

human psychology will go to the path of least resistance

swift tinsel
#

titles

wild hornet
#

my tipping point was bieng in q for 1 day and bricking 3 keys

wanton flame
#

What is the best way of gearing alt chars now to 638 ish? Have a fresh toon i want to get going until next week! Any smart tips that came with the patch?

shell willow
#

the m+ community would die

swift tinsel
#

most of the time the best weapons and trinkets come from raid

bleak night
#

if pvp didnt give gear competitive gear it would immediately die

swift tinsel
#

you don't see m+ dying those seasons

bleak night
#

99% of the community dont are about the ladder or challenges

shell willow
#

Yes because there are gear incentives to do keys

bleak night
shell willow
#

notice how once we get into latter in the season key competion rate tanks

bleak night
#

and even then m+ did see a downturn in seasons where gearing was easy

swift tinsel
#

but why do people keep pushing dungeons when they're effectively gear capped

vale pine
#

raid is actually extremely bad in reward

#

it is why mythic+ was such a success

bleak night
random hare
shell willow
#

no need to run keys

vale pine
#

you need to farm months of raid to get gear

wild hornet
#

yeah as you said there could be token systems for each

#

since it is indeed insane farming for a year to be full mythic

vale pine
shell willow
#

The first week of every season i usually run damn near 60 keys to try and replace as much gear as I possibly can. If raiding was the only gearing system most people would just raid log and call it.

vale pine
#

at least thats how it worked for 2 xpacs

wild hornet
#

not mythic

#

would take about the same amount of time

bleak night
#

heroic gear is effectively bis for the majority of the playerbase

shell willow
#

thats a big ilevel increase and dps gain though

vale pine
#

upgrade tracks ended up very close

#

between heroc and mythic

#

only this xpac

#

introduced a big "gap"

#

so even with upgrade tracks, you had high power level from doing mythic+

wild hornet
#

i mean yeah, mplus is the fast gear path up to heroic and then raids was for the better loot

vale pine
#

it was partly so extreme that guilds simply kicked people who did not do enough m+

#

because due to their opinions,

vale pine
#

they sabotaged the raid and inted

shell willow
#

we can likely farm 10s next week the drops are 655

wild hornet
#

cuz of that

vale pine
#

or in other words

wild hornet
#

and i was trying to queue mplus

shell willow
#

that is a substantial power increase

wild hornet
#

maybe my first mistake was being in q as ret instead of prot

shell willow
#

the only limiting factor is time and drops and stats

vale pine
#

"should not be raiding mythic, rather do some world quests"

wild hornet
#

i mean to be fair the current implementation isnt bad at all

#

im just hitting a Copium

bleak night
wild hornet
shell willow
#

lol tough sledding

wild hornet
#

i wasted so much time trying to get in keys

#

or creating ones

vale pine
wild hornet
#

i got burnt out this season and stopped at 2.7k rating

#

and just finished ce last week

vale pine
#

i wonder if that changed in s2 noticably

shell willow
#

There are still limitations to the upperbound

#

crest caps and what not

vale pine
#

yep

wild hornet
#

crest caps go only so far

#

cant be too low

shell willow
#

I'm torn. I like the degen but its not healthy so if they have to put up guardrails for me sobeit

swift tinsel
#

removing myth track from the m+ end of dungeon was an interesting move

wild hornet
swift tinsel
#

I get they wanted to slow down acquisition

shell willow
#

yeah but it clashes with their own philosophy

#

Is M+ not endgame content?

swift tinsel
#

you get 3 chances at myth track gear in vault per week from m+

#

vs raid where you get 3 vault chances + however many bosses you kill

shell willow
#

They attest it is so why dampen the rewards unless it is the little brother to raiding

swift tinsel
#

and can do funnels and whatnot

shell willow
#

Yeah but that requires coordination and friends lol

swift tinsel
#

so a guild

shell willow
#

Lol you wont find me complaining

bleak night
#

they could maybe do something similar to how weeklies work

swift tinsel
#

and I'd argue more often than not a mythic guild has loot considerations

bleak night
#

x number of keys at y lvl will drop a mythic piece

shell willow
#

i mean im only fighting for tier slots basically

swift tinsel
#

m+ is tricky with how timing and chests work

shell willow
#

daggers are all mine and offspec pieces that are vers/mast are basically mine as well

wild hornet
#

same

shell willow
#

yeah i love it

wild hornet
#

we had no rogues

#

and my gm recruited another ret for some reason

shell willow
#

yeah thats why i swapped

bleak night
#

in amirdrassil igira would not stop dropping daggers

wild hornet
#

so i just got sent to the yellow chamber

bleak night
#

and i was the only rogue lmao

alpine wraith
#

i had an igira dagger with leech

#

big

sour girder
wild hornet
#

guess being a rogue isnt all that bad

#

ur only competing with other yellows

shell willow
#

My biggest gripe is the stat distribution being so different between the 3 specs its obscene

wild hornet
#

while being 1/2 max

wild hornet
#

just to offspec

bleak night
#

sin can use either sub or outlaw gear perfectly fine

shell willow
#

outlaw hates mastery though

swift tinsel
#

and we dont like haste lol

bleak night
#

thats what im saying

shell willow
#

like you really need 3 different sets

bleak night
#

the gap is big between sub and outlaw

swift tinsel
#

perfect mismatch

lilac stag
bleak night
#

also

#

its a good thing

shell willow
#

sin wants a little of everything vers aint a killer but i'd rather be more mastery/haste as sin

alpine wraith
#

next raid not even a ring

bleak night
#

blizzard saving you from even considering playing outlaw

alpine wraith
#

as both use jastor

swift tinsel
#

I kinda love our stat preference as sub

uneven scarab
wild hornet
#

but im avoiding assa like the plague

alpine wraith
#

and even if bone ring or wheel sim better im not taking signet off for 1k dps

lilac stag
#

Jastor DN

alpine wraith
#

it has so much neat things

#

that can proc

alpine wraith
#
  • raid people also proc things
wild hornet
#

that trinket was so goated

lilac stag
#

I kinda want to run NE if I get it.

alpine wraith
#

circe's signet

bleak night
#

me when i get a slightly better ring so take off circes to fuck the raid

wild hornet
#

oh

#

not amirdrassil talk nomore

#

kek

swift tinsel
#

A. No one else wants our rings/neck/off pieces
B. We're very tanky in raid and m+
C. We get a bonus when we use damaging trinkets

alpine wraith
#

i will once again be weird likely i kinda want to use engi helmet and wrist again big mastery enjoyer

#

it is nice boots are boe with vers mastery

#

so i can craft belt

keen dome
#

Hell yeah, being weird and being a Sub rogue

swift tinsel
#

how much haste do you end up with with tier gloves?

keen dome
#

hand-in-hand. (this is good)

shell willow
swift tinsel
#

if you go engi helm

alpine wraith
#

not much more

swift tinsel
#

and what's the mastery diff?

wild hornet
#

stacking vers in dragonflight gave me nightmares

alpine wraith
#

also mastery stonks with ring trust

wild hornet
#

and being slapped by bosses

swift tinsel
#

fr fr

alpine wraith
#

around 7k more mastery almost

bleak night
#

stacking vers is bis

swift tinsel
#

jeez

wild hornet
swift tinsel
#

thats what 25-26k?

#

total mastery

wild hornet
#

so when tanks die im their first target

alpine wraith
#

no idea havent checked

#

should be at least 23k or so

swift tinsel
#

iirc its like 19.9k with traditional 678

#

that was early sim days tho

alpine wraith
#

jastor is too good tho

swift tinsel
#

with all gems and enchants

alpine wraith
#

so that one instead of wheel is like 2k less but still

swift tinsel
#

yeah

alpine wraith
#

but who am i kidding

#

im staying with ToP ring for all the tier

swift tinsel
#

they've already nerfed the stat steal once didn't they

alpine wraith
#

imagine giving jastor to a rogue

bleak night
#

imagine getting jastors

#

maybe wont need to spend dinar on kezan

#

then jastors will be mine

swift tinsel
#

If I could hard-res an m+ item it'd be top ring

alpine wraith
#

the bad thing also of being in a decent but not op guild is that i will likely have 2 vaults filled with M items that cant be jastor

#

and only 1 slot with hc

#

for so long

swift tinsel
#

we always extend our mythic clear lockout and kill each boss once

#

so its heroic farm slots in vault

#

except first week of mythic prog if we kill 2 bosses lol

bleak night
#

yeah my last guild basically never recleared once we got about halfway through

shell willow
#

Yeah depends on the tuning

bleak night
#

so i never got mythic pieces lmao

swift tinsel
#

like last tier I think we killed first two bosses twice but only sikran and rash onces

shell willow
#

Once we started on silken court we were locking out

alpine wraith
#

that is kinda sad

bleak night
#

we needed all the raid time we could get to attempt prog

#

no time to reclear

swift tinsel
#

luckily got dagger on first myth bloodbeast kill

#

never saw a stitchflesh dagger all season so I have a hero-track delve oh

alpine wraith
#

my off hand is a crafted one

bleak night
swift tinsel
#

I debated crafting but I think the gain was minimal since my oh is already crit/mastery

#

i forget what the % dif was

alpine wraith
#

yea off hand diff is not that big

#

but at least you get some stamina

next fjord
#

That's why I did an offhand

swift tinsel
#

my gilded crests were at a bit of a premium on my rogue since I swapped back later in the season and missed like 8 clears worth and didn't do as much m+ by that time

uneven scarab
#

valorstones had me fucked up

#

mainly cuz i was playing 3 characters after aotc but

swift tinsel
#

didn't realize I only did 6 heroic clears and 1 kill of mythic first 4 bosses lol

uneven scarab
#

felt like it took forever to get any

slate lantern
#

Racoon gang

swift tinsel
alpine wraith
#

gwb_uwu got a buff you missed it

rain ingot
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

still does not cleave tho

swift tinsel
#

gonna try and only play rogue for the season and not divert my attention all over the place like I have since cata lol

alpine wraith
#

i used to have many alts

#

now i only kinda play rogue

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

was an lfr hero for SO long so the concept of locking in to one character didn't really matter

uneven scarab
#

Mage does sound enticing

shell willow
#

just stick with 2 alts and a main raid toon

vale pine
#

Okay, my wishlist for this raid:
#1 Subtlety rogue > Assassination rogues for the higher dynamic it brings.
#2 People not undervaluing the benefits of "no parry" we provide.
#3 Raid strategies starting to utialize [spell=382507] for raid mobility.

swift tinsel
#

SL was the first time I joined a raiding guild since Wotlk

vale pine
#

haha

#

okay... i think i wrote too many wowhead guides recently

swift tinsel
#

hahahaha

shell willow
#

lol

swift tinsel
#

that's shroud boost right

alpine wraith
#

fuu is talking in numbers

vale pine
#

its Shrouded in Darkness

alpine wraith
#

tbh shroud speed is so good in m+

#

if people know it exists

ember hound
#

fuu the no parry thing with trickster is a bug tho yeah?

swift tinsel
#

1000%

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

call it a feature

swift tinsel
#

might as well be a raidbuff at this point

vale pine
#

it is a bug

swift tinsel
#

but we don't wanna say that part too loud

vale pine
#

but also, i like it

ember hound
#

so interesting

#

me too

lilac stag
# tepid trellis Waddup?

I got tossed back to rogue on Queen last night. They’re going to have me do a platform portal. What portal would be best for our CDs? Hold them on shield and full send plat 1?

bleak night
ember hound
#

so no parry for all of melee if you have a trickster correct?

bleak night
#

isnt it basically a roar

vale pine
#

yes

bleak night
#

just it has to line up with your shadowdance

ember hound
#

crazy

bleak night
#

so a bit more restrictive

uneven scarab
# vale pine

Prot pallies/dks’s been kissing my feet for this one forever now

swift tinsel
#

you'll still get 1 or 2 bc its not up 100% of the time but its a large improvement

vale pine
#

but you can reduce the cooldown

ember hound
#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

lemme find something quick from the other night

vale pine
#

so can have it quite frequently

ember hound
#

its from fazed right?

uneven scarab
tepid trellis
#

and then you have 2x cds in p3

swift tinsel
#

from our fury warrior for a full clear

ember hound
#

thats sick

swift tinsel
#

now multiply that by every melee

#

and their respective dps implications of landing most melee hits

#

for resource gen, procs, etc

tepid trellis
#

and if you wanna help with killing spiders in p3 you time your first set of cds, so you flag when she starts moving to the corner for spider drops

#

then your 2nd dance sectech will rdy to snipe spiders

wild hornet
dense mountain
dense mountain
#

holyyy

#

i thought it was just me

#

its worded as "your attacks". blizzard tooltip moment i guess

bleak night
#

well

#

its questionable if its intentional

#

but we wont bring it up

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

you can snipe them faster than any other class

#

think i did 80m to them in 3 seconds

wild hornet
#

havocs arent that fast or smart

lilac stag
wild hornet
#

they take their sweet time with fel rush and beam

spice saffron
#

!log

vale pine
#

i thought it did, but got told it does not

bleak night
#

hm

#

it definitely gives you the speed in combat

#

just tested

#

but

alpine wraith
#

they need to be out of combat to get the buff

vale pine
#

yes, but not your raid members

bleak night
#

your allies probably cant stealth

#

yeah

lilac stag
#

@tepid trellis did you clear this week? Didn’t see a log when I looked yesterday.

bleak night
#

just make them all go shadowmeld

vale pine
#

you can just use it with vanish/dance

tepid trellis
#

we never raid on prepatch

vale pine
#

but if its only applying the speed buff to you

tepid trellis
#

we thought about doing it

vale pine
#

limits the use

tepid trellis
#

but we only needed ansurek ring on people

bleak night
#

yeah that definitely ruins the plan

tepid trellis
#

and that thing is obsolete after a few days of m+

lilac stag
#

makes sense

alpine wraith
#

they are getting their asses ready

#

to farm ToP

#

also this trinket from cinderbrew for tanks holy

#

need tank to sit on pull

#

to get crit

#

want agi

uneven scarab
#

Yeah that one just got buffed too

latent parcel
#

Any video guide for m+, pref aimed at a 5 year old.

alpine wraith
#

have many m+ videos but best you can do is just ask if you ahve any questions

shell willow
#

trial by fire

#

spend time on the dummy getting the muscle memory for the rotation

uneven scarab
#

Best way to do it for sub

alpine wraith
#

m+ is a bit more complicated than just st or aoe

uneven scarab
#

No cap

#

Trial by fire

shell willow
#

then apply it in a key and fail fast and try again

alpine wraith
#

best advice i can give is that if you see no shaman on the group

#

suddenly you need to have piano classes and gtg

still vector
#

im having some trouble after the opener, what should we do after we are outside our burst window?

manic ivy
#

why is my cb + st macro not working in combat wtf

vale pine
#

you essentially fire your cooldowns

alpine wraith
vale pine
#

then relax, get a cup of green tea

#

put in some honey

alpine wraith
#

gotta separate them

still vector
#

hahaha

manic ivy
still vector
#

i can do that

vale pine
#

and press some storm/bp and spread ruptures to everything that survives a bit longer

alpine wraith
#

but likely what happens is that you forgot to

#

yea tha

lilac stag
#

Or you speced fate assa

manic ivy
alpine wraith
#

ah true fatebound assa also bricks cb

#

you need to alt f4

stoic forge
alpine wraith
#

then come back

#

a bad macro

slate lantern
frank musk
#

There is no macro, there is only the Sub.

vale pine
#

and if you get secret ready

hollow spear
#

we want cold blood to be < 12 seconds when we go into flag right?

vale pine
#

you can do symbols dance and secret

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

still trying to get a rhythm for the cb between bursts....

and back to your tea

at wake 17 first pull i was 14M peak he was 11M

bro 11M with no burst class?

and still ticks after

you mean shake the heavens?

vestal escarp
#

empyrean hammers

wild hornet
#

yeah u can carry over shake the heavens if youre fast enough

swift tinsel
#

yeah hammers were doing bonkers damage for a whiiiiile

vestal escarp
#

no sense

#

wake and mist inted ret this season

wild hornet
#

i wouldve been playing ret but we dont have a rogue

#

and im just a chill guy like that

vestal escarp
#

otherwise you could bring one near enha despite the prot meta

#

nonsensical dmg

swift tinsel
#

going from sub to ret is so wild

bc

#

you go from thinking about your abilities

to not
