why are they playing sentence again? it still does piss prio
reckoning was even more piss
but I think they buffed the finisher damage thing
their builders were doing as much as their spenders
so it's just dps of sentence over reckoning?
so emphasizing finisher damage didn't really do much
Is ret still gonna be op this patch? damn
unless they dont scale
nah just uncomplicated
they still hella strong
iirc they usually end up top third
nothing amazing but just really easy to play well
overtuned aberrus sub mfers
if you want a class to just chill and blast with ret is perfect for that
its why its crazy popular
well one reason
Why is Mythic House of Cards only a 0,1% upgrade over Mythic Transmitter ?
lol they ended up with our dreaded BP build where storm is the only finisher in all scenarios
ok details condensed all dps from before 1st boss wake
because mythic transmitter is very strong for us
some might say too strong
damn
also transmitter gives on-use agi and house is on-use mastery
so less than ideal replacement stat-wise
yeah makes sense
if it was reversed I could see it being replaced earlier

They always gotta make the strongest trinkets the absolute worst to use
“Balance”
Meanwhile spymasters is a macro and forget
And that thing is insane too
I think we just had 2 unlucky tiers with hard to use trinkets
cards is a lot more macro-able
Hey guys, for the tier sets comparison sims, does it mean that equipping 2 old + 2 new decreases our dmg ?
!wa
Going from 4 current tier to 2 old + 2 new***
have ranged had anything transmitter or branch-like recently
i mean u basically do no?
u dont macro it but you press it and forget
you saved it for execute on arcane usually
Maybe you hold it
idr the other mage specs
"you just macro and forget it except all the moments you don't"

I mean yeah transmitter is more work but spymasters isn't void contract yk
i have transmitter macroed to flag
it has some shortcommings, but its fine if you pay attention
!macros
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
my only real gripe with transmitter was the visiblity of the orb sometimes
Yeah i mean the macro and forget was wrong but
Its a simple ass trinket
if anyone has some time and wouldn't mind looking at my logs from today. quite new to subtlety don't think i'm playing correctly
Compared to transmitter
even if you aimed the orb in a good spot it could troll
orb sucks when it decides to go right under the boss and all the melee spell effects
circle was only a skillcheck if you spawned it bad
Otherwise yea it wasnt so bad
what is a good vers range to be in? will my dmg increase alot of I get some more vers?

stat weights is
but simming gear or recrafts will tell you
More vers than haste/crit will likely be better yes
if you'll benefit from more vers or not
Yea
that is why i didnt ask for a specific number. just asked for a range. is 7% on the lower end?
I'm 628 with 19% vers
damn
others are 638 with 23-24%
ok, how would I sim the stat change? like rn im just fully assa stats. had some vers peices
like can I just change stat values?
No, you'd do a gear compare sim with the items you're looking at replacing
or you can do a top gear sim and replace gems/enchants
otherwise there's also the Droptimizer function but at the point its kinda pointless with s2 coming out
ok, without simming is it possible to tell if there is a big differene between 7% and 24%? dmg wise. im not looking for a specific number, only if it actually makes a difference
Like you shouldn't be saying "this how much vers I should get so that I'm swimming perfectly" but more that as you get gear you will be simming them individually to see what you should be upgrading
branch during smolderon was the most toxic gameplay
I could do it against the bis tierlist made on wowhead. but that would then be comparing 678 gear to 639. so I wont see the value of vers changed. can I just put it down to 639?
technically yes
but its work to do because you have to manually edit the item level of every piece
and not worth it imo
your stats are fine and you're going to replace whatever gear you have now in s2
which is next week
if you're that worried, recraft any crafted slots with vers/mastery missives
im not worried at all, I just have no clue how important vers is. Like for mastery I assume 10% doesnt mean alot since you get soo much from soo little mastery. while I dont know the value of vers. if that makes sense. So it really has nothing to do with performance, just value of vers
its not going to make or break your damage if you don't have as much as other people who specifically geared for sub
mastery is slightly better than vers at high levels of both, but vers also keeps you alive so...
crit is ok
haste kinda useless
7% vers is kinda sus though
ok I see. I havent been geared fully for one spec except for outlaw but when i swapped to assa I just changed the mastery, lef the crit and just couldnt be asked to recraft. and I think if I went fully assa build it was like 30k more overall dps. so didnt know if the same thing applied to rogue gamin
other than vers keeping you alive, it wont impact dam much
yeah all of my gear is kinda outlaw/assa
You'll be pretty fine as sub if you have your stats distributed mostly to mastery and vers, but if you have some mastery/crit or vers/crit gear you'll be fine
its skillz that matters. got some of that, at least for m+
just don't want to be stacking haste because we don't really benefit from it at the points where our damage is relevant (flag+blades)
yeah, the haste part was just from outlaw
if you're gonna mostly play sub in s2, look for mastery-heavy pieces, ideally with vers but its fine with crit
and we have some good options for those in our non-tier slots
yeah, im not touching outlaw XD
so there shouldbe some flexibility
and since the Droptimizer feature on raidbots has s2 raid and dungeon pool, wouldn't hurt to run that
at the content level you're going to be doing
is last boss of cot bugged or something
I ran a 17 COT and pre evasion, feint and vialed splice and im still almost dead
To splice
tf lol
power of kekstalker
what is singular focus
thats a lot of focus
what pull is that from?
first pull wake, thats dmg on gatekeeper
did nimble always ignore ccd targets?
The rotations on icyveins and wowhead are somewhat different. Do we have a veridict on which one is better?
Hey guys, for the tier sets comparison sims, does it mean that equipping 2 old + 2 new decreases our dmg ?
Whats different. Last i checked there werent any differences
the 2+4 at the top is season 2 4pc, whereas 2p+2p is a decrease from full season 2 tier but an increase from full season 1 tier
if you're referring to the sims in fuu's sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
dark magic
the numbers are much different from the Fuu sheet
No
2+4 works too
its from fuu's sheet 
You just cant win 
ye
i am people i read it 6 set
i win
Don’t mess with the Austrian. That’s not going to end well.
Are the openers the same? I think fuu has the cb second listed under the min/max stuff
and the default on first Sectech
I’m on mobile or id check. I don’t remember.
they fixed it by gutting it
haven't checked ptr for a while

Idk what you mean by fixed but pins should be accurate
not sure if they're changing anything on it
since patch is live
and can't check bc no tier yet
Ah I’m on mobile so idk which pin addresses it
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
But I mean with coup interaction mainly
Currently :SecretTechnique: does not always benefit from the 4p shadow bonus. (About a 1.5% dps loss)
And shadow buffing
ah yeah thats still there
Okay
They’ve changed some dungeon stuff on PTR idk about class stuff
ah that makes sense since they're not live yet
so its possible
lemme look
often times the best answers
I asked grok to help me summarize the differences and create a post. Here it is:
Icy Veins vs. Wowhead Subtlety Rogue Rotation—Which is Better?
I’m torn between two Subtlety Rogue rotation guides—Icy Veins and Wowhead—and need help deciding which one to follow for the best DPS in both single-target and multi-target (AoE) fights. Here’s what I found when comparing them:
Agreements:
- Both emphasize starting in Stealth (Icy Veins adds Instant Poison) and coordinating Shadow Dance with Symbols of Death.
- Secret Technique is a top finisher during Shadow Dance for both single-target and AoE.
- In AoE, Shuriken Storm is key for building combo points (though used differently).
- Flagellation should be paired with Shadow Blades for big damage windows.
- In single-target, Shadowstrike during Shadow Dance and Backstab outside are standard.
Disagreements:
Combo Point Spenders:
- Icy Veins includes Cold Blood and Coup de Grace in its priority (e.g., during Shadow Dance: Cold Blood → Secret Technique → Coup de Grace if Fazed → Black Powder/Eviscerate), while Wowhead skips Cold Blood in the spender list and has simpler priorities (e.g., Secret Technique → Black Powder on 7+ targets → Eviscerate in AoE).
- Outside Shadow Dance, Wowhead prioritizes Eviscerate for Slice and Dice, while Icy Veins focuses on Rupture and Coup de Grace.
Shuriken Storm in AoE:
- Icy Veins uses it as a secondary builder during Shadow Dance and broadly outside, while Wowhead ties it to target count (7+ during Shadow Dance, 3+ with Flawless Form outside).
Cooldowns:
- Icy Veins has strict conditions for Flagellation and delays Symbols of Death refreshes until Secret Technique is ready, while Wowhead is more flexible (e.g., Symbols with Flagellation or Secret Technique if Flagellation is down).
Cold Blood:
- Icy Veins uses it with Secret Technique during Shadow Blades for max buffs, avoiding macros. Wowhead pairs it with every Secret Technique (macro optional).
Vanish:
- Icy Veins uses Vanish into one Shadowstrike, while Wowhead uses it on cooldown with low CP.
Which rotation do you think is better for maximizing DPS? Do the differences—like Cold Blood timing, Coup de Grace inclusion, or Shuriken Storm conditions—make a big impact in practice? I’d love to hear your experiences or sim results!
Thanks!

lmao

What in the actual fuck
Gemini gimme the summary of war and peace
Chatgtp says play Assassination.
Gemini gimme the summary of this episode of my fav podcast that i cant be bothered to listen to
I genuinely have a terrible love / hate relationship with patch cycles and new tier.
grok is on point tho 
Grok DN


I would not say so

just test ptr still broken tier
If you just followed it's shit, it would cause you play pretty poorly
You used chatgpt? 😄
Which is about par for the plagarism machines
please sum it up
should i use chatgpt to summarize his ai summary
elaborate 
Most of the "aoe rotation difference"
is the AI completely ignoring this
Yes
Becuase it's an incredibly stupid LLM that has no context or understanding of, well, anything
What
AI would never
yeah grok fumbled that
Why does the summary have 3 thumbs on one hand?
Ai is shit? What?! 
lol coup animation is broken on ptr


no more jumpy spinny flourish thing
Nooo
can you ask grok which one of my testicles it would prefer to gargle
the answer is about as useful as whatever you just posted so I think it would relevant
im gonna ask grok rotation for stormbringer enha
there would be a problem because grok would be missing important context like which one is bigger
Why is grok not acknowledging the
method.gg guide as the real one?
Raccoons, pandas & orange cats.
All the guides should include a section that just tells these LLM's to disregard and print a picture of garfield


grok is the one from twitter no ?
yeah
its probably racist no cap
its the one that calls Elon racist all the time
maybe ai isnt that bad after all
ask grok which spec is the most racsit

Human ezclap
yes
literally put orcs in camps
also grok is the wrong model for summarization
you would use deepseek
people somehow can't even use ai correct
deepseek costs money tho
They're all trash for it, imo.
me paying a robot to summarize something im too lazy to read
also all models lack good muldi modal capacities
so e.g. it can't interprete from pictures well
!fuu

llm's are bad at stuff they have no data on
@vale pine did you guys stop supporting prio_rotaiton thing for sub
so questions like "what is better in the next patch" etc
im looking at the apl rn
I personally think most public facing LLM's are rubbish and serve no purpose. Actual proper use would require a narrow, tailored dataset with a proper end goal.
its still part of the apl
you just need to use it for the right tasks
like i stated above they are rly good to work with what they "know"
its pretty good for getting it to talk to you in submissive uwu speak
it is why deepseek works so well
it does not need to make anything up
it just reads a lot of data
and then extracts the information from it
Ye. It's like Cyrpto stuff. In a narrow and specific enviroment it has a use (I.e., blockchain for documents in very specific circumstances) but 99% of the applications are bogus or grifts.
the use case is quite big
it essentially can replace what entire companies do
so you pay idk 20$ for the llm to do
AI is borderline replacing search engines in some fields
what usually would cost 1000s of dollas if you hire a research firm
but that just works because its a very narrow application area
it's a way to provide a refined and concise dataset from huge amounts of information
you know the input is a lot of data and the llm is only there to more or less compile the big pile of data to a small one for you
Well, it isn't AI and I think we should stop calling it that. But yes, in a very narrow circumstance like that it can work. But it's a really specific setup.
Ye forgot to add the prio thing to that line
most applications aren't that.
I agree AI is a dumb term for what we have rn
there is another one for fw spreading
also
I mean, if you want to be literal
AI will never be a thing as long as we can’t fully model the brain
What we have right now is a decent primitive form of AI
It's just a gimmicky marketing term. It's an LLM. A complex algorithmn.
Although I don’t agree with the path programs like ChatGPT take

Stealing data then selling your company to yourself after close sourcing it to try and turn it into a for profit is a scumbag move
But oh well
At least other LLMs are coming out
Call it machine learning or AI
Doesn’t matter as long as language can in some way describe it
possible that we have some small optimizations for prio left
returning to sub after a while , can anyone help me with this question:
do we use secret Technique as 2nd finisher in shadow dance or first with s2 Tier Set ?
Currently people are using “AGI” to refer to what you may be wanting “AI” to be
i dont think they're ready for what i want ai to be
Because AI now refers to things like gpt, deepseek, grok, simplediffusion models etc
It's factually wrong to refer to them as AI. They are, and never will be, AI. It's such a nonsense term for what LLM's do. It's a search engine that you can ask questions.
In some ways it’s a necessary step in developing AI
It's not
should be first, but as long as its supercharged its pretty much fine. should always be first in first dance of flag window bc you save sectech for flag when flag's cd hits a certain point
We won't have actual AI until you can teach a computer to be horny.
Damn, this discussion really spiralled 😮
Good thing you can do this then
But yeah let’s not talk about horny computer AI
Sub rogue channel
you can always optimize for it to be 2nd finisher, the gain for doing so is higher if you have the new tier set
Who are we signing a contract with?
me
😨
done deal dot com
if you mean for the new zone, it does not matter
still note to myself
to start using shroud if sprint is down
I ran a sim and my chatbot gf is saying I cheated on her
does this change things
no
I cancel and restealth when fade movespeed boost has 2sec left
always be speedin
plus min-maxed movespeed prismatic gem
i use sub whenever i do transmog runs
you're so fast
i love it
shroud resets on boss kill so its just boss>shroud>boss
nice
Should play outlaw. You never stop sprinting.
fastest runner to the bench
2x grapple zoom tech
Genius
I never thought to try it but that is so smart
need a race between shroud tech and grapple tech
i havent tried outlaw since hero talents
the grapple tech might be faster, i'll have to try it
is the dummy rotation on raidbots supposed to be a bit weird/different from what the guides tell you?
supercharging a rupture and then casting a dry sectec
yeah, but that shouldn't make it do that stuff imo
sub is pretty fun ngl
Likely trying to get a last Sectech in with awkward resource timings
Does it do that consistently?
it is because it has low charges of dance
yeah, but wouldnt you want to delay symbols to at least get sectec as 2nd finisher?
supercharging a rupture seems whack
also there do be a pretty big disclaimer at the top
sim sometimes just does weird shit
I know
do as the sims say not as the sims do
in 1 iteration that it shows you
but something in the APL must make it do it
German engineering
or blame Armin
he’s not here to defend himself
on a serious note, can you repeat it? Or is it just a one off?
are you guys tracking the supercharger CPs now?
No
i remember when it was introduced nobody was tracking it iirc
No reason to
ok
will try
Unless you just want pretty blue lights
I changed the two cps to remember if i activated it before pull
outside of that nope
didn't even need to try, that's from the next sim
symbols straight into rupture
maybe it's the dummy sim being jank
can't remember seeing that in the normal 5min raid sim
!fuu

@tepid trellis
This is from the first 5min patchwerk I ran
based bot
what?
thistle tea build feels so much better in m+
is tea only bad cause we dont need energy in cds? only thing I could think of rn
idk why noone plays it
its pretty much useless
yea its because of flawless form
gives you energy when you do 0 dmg anyway
oh
i asked fuu
feeling better =/= doing more dmg
@tepid trellis we were discussing whether if theres a specific situation where we can send secret technique as 2nd finisher in a raw dance+cb
and the 19% mastery is such a small increase in finisher dmg that it doesent compete with CB
yeah youre just never gonna have charges for cds lol. if it just auto pops
no cds in that pull
instead of 1st gcd
only time you'd wanna Sectech 2nd finisher is when coup is up and you can fire that first
otherwise you wanna sectech to get Unseen blade procs
doesent matter
what would the gain be from using coup first instead of second? wouldnt tierset buff coup? if you secret tech first?
o ok
coup gives 5 flawless form stacks
no like i meant
so 12% more dmg on sectech
stealthi guy
we can start dance into secret tech?
trying to make a weak aura shadow dance icon with # of charges left but cant get it to display the charges properly
or can we
yes you can
doesent matter if you dance at low or high cp
if im at like 3 stacks of coup already, i can still finisher > sec tech > coup no?
you can, but you risk proccing coup on strike into sectech
you'd need to strike
wait so at how many stacks do we guarantee getting coup after pressing sectec?
you get 2 ub after sectech
sectech provides 2 stacks
instantly?
1 per strike after its use
no
and thats bad ?
oh i guess i miss a stack
ok
do you spread ruptures in opening on AOE or go straight into dance rotation (if you have CDs going into a pull)
probably like 0.2-0,3% or smth like that
spread rupture as tank gathers
but don't delay flag to do it
cuz it wont happen that often
sank you sir
correction u have to press sectec first instead yea?
can usually get 3-4 casts of rupture if not more
if you have 3 stacks of coup you'd have to sectech then strike to be able to coup
@tepid trellis if coup is up, i consumed 1 stack of sectec's free unseen blade procs, do i finish at lets say 4-5 cp? to build again into coup
oh ye i wanted to ask about tfd
the first dance
when you have first dance
sometimes
its weird
for the second sec tech
like your dance is too long
you get me
zac
guess what
its worth vanishing mid combat running away from the pack
xdd
for first dance
if the pack is low hp and ur tank is xenario that doesnt like waiting
u can do that

big gain
in some situations
can be a minimal gain
i noticed some weird stuffs with tfd which i didnt understand
but ye
like
when you have tfd
and you proc
or even when you dont proc
you dont neccesseraly have the time
to send the second dance for sec tech
so you are in a weird situation
where you need to send the sec tech at the end of the first dance
and thats kinda bad cause then you lose the damage on the clones potentially or
what bad does that do
cant u just
dance
and it buffs the clones again
or
?
@tepid trellis
ye but then its 0 stacks
whats 0 stacks
0 stack of dance
dance macabre
thats irrelevant tho no?
we don't even play around danse tho
It is still big dmg
used to be more important in DF, but not as much anymore
iirc what stealthi and eleem said
coup has the same scaling per cp as Eviscerate
ok like
apart from
sending sectec 1st gcd
is there any minmaxes with unseenblade shit
or?
im raiding in lost ark atm, so im a bit scatter brained
but no its the only unseen blade we have control over
is it bad to press a builder with coupe de grace up?
Damage
or do i still shadowstrike
because trickster is capped at 8 so its worth to bp at 7 +
well in dance you always wanna strike
aja ok
Depend if ur in or out of damce
SS then 1 storm for debuff with rotten
was thinking about trying sub on dummys
actually cap doesnt matter in that case im cooked its just bp scaling upward
and then maybe in a key idk
BP tuning vs Nimble Flurry damage transfer %
no
like if i trinket after
or maghar after
say accident
they still get buffed right
if you hit them between the phys hit and the clone hit they should inherit the buff even if the phys hit didn't
no
that's why blades timing is fine as long as its before the 1st clone hit at 1sec
i wish we could use a computer to do that kind of things for us
no cap
could be like a simulation
of your character
sounds crafty
lol fair enough
lol you dont say
why im doing them
feels
someone tell me it will give me dps
valorstones, so kinda
Do they give rep
Reknown 7 gear?
i feel like i dont get rep
I think some might give rep
no cap
it will give u dps
ye those cap super fast too
its prob for the achiev hunters
I did them all for achievements
Sojourner or w/e its called
I've been slacking on dailies there bc I cba with the lag
Yeah it’s ass
fought one of the big elites and missed almost a full dance
The daily rares are like 100 rep total anyway
bcause it spiked
Yeah
Oh I have a question too, if I don’t have windfury and don’t think I can fit second dance in between flags should I just send sod without dance
Ok thought so
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Do you guys use your cool downs as the pop back up after that first burst on bigger fights or just wait that full 1.5 mins for em all to come back and burst again
by cooldowns do you mean symbols dance and sectech
or just flagellation and shadowblades
(we have a few lol)
flag and blades are always used with each other
symbols and dance you use when sectech comes off cooldown in between big burst windows
but need to be used in a way where you're guaranteed to be able to use 2x symbols, dance and sectech in flag/blades
you should be cycling them as secret technique comes off cooldown
so 2x uses between first and second flag, one between 2nd and 3rd
repeat
Okay thank you! Sorry just swapped to sub from sin this week
all good! its very odd the way it works especially between big cd windows for a lot of people
bc most specs just hit their cooldowns when they're up
sub has to plan a bit
and adjust to cdr on dance/sectech which isn't always the same
Black Fraud vs Weakble Flurry
are there any public timings sheets so far based on testing?
rough ideas
not boss-specific ones
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uQH2cyFpJH9eVS_GC58EHYylpZM7Qtqt-CfHCF-pRBY/edit?gid=161258119#gid=161258119 has a general timeline
having vs not having skyfury will affect your cdr so keep that in mind
yeah I know general cadence, meant boss specific.
idk if anyone really did raid testing on ptr
stuff usually comes out once the raid is live though
can just ask here at that point
Hard to get good timings down on ptr when everyone is doing random shit and half of the fight doesn’t work
Gonna be a bit
thought we had some geniuses in here
we're less spreadsheety than dust days
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
"raid isn't out yet why aren't all my cooldown timings ready for me"
Some geniuses you are
based
You can predict the rythm of your fight while watching some of the serious kill vidéos out there but ... Rough idea
exactly
kids these days
For example, first boss : it's pretty static during first big CD phase and then switch boss on the other side so sprint / SS and second set of big CDs should be up. That just an example
And very rough prediction
yeah realistically just gonna watch my ptr recordings and take notes
Exact
figured i’d do a fadeaway jumper and see if anyone already had
Or other ones more serious
in aoe opener do i use vanish or do i just save it for after my cds?
Vanish doesnt do anyhting really on aoe anyway
I would use vanish in m+ for mobility and to cheese mechanics
So you can use it if you want, but it doesnt matter much
You can actually vanish quite a lot of mechanics in m+
storm does the same thing as premed at the right target count
mechanics imo m+ if you know what to look for. Keeping uptime is imo more valuable.
even in st opener its not really required
yeah it just feels nice since thats what i practiced on the dummies most
if you have to save vanish for the root break or anything like that you can just strike from stealth - flag - rupture - do your stuff
that's totally fine if you wanna vanish
if you don't use vanish are you just using back stab?
yup
yes or storm
depending on target count
nah you're getting into dance
so you'll strike
then sectech, strike, evisc
etc etc
Oh you mean to get SnD
yeah
you can get SnD in dance
i more meant to get to max cp for flag on ST opener
it feels horrible doing the raw backstabs
you don't backstab
You just dont
like in 98% of bosses you will do the standard opener with vanish
you dont I thought you ment in general
after that first rupture you're sod/dancing
On queen prog you just ignored the vanish and go SnD in dance and used the vanish for roots
and unless that first strike after dance would have been a UB reset you don't lose anything
Make rupture give snd ez
SnD will be deleted next exp. The spell is just in because its a balancing node they have.
Spell was useless and is still useless. Was already deleted once
they should already remove dance macarbe and give us a finisher as capstone
our capstone is super irrelevant
might aswell say you do in dance X % more dps
it does damage, we just don't play around it
Shadowcraft, Rotten are good capstones
which isn't necessarily the worst thing
was death from above fun i didnt play then
Danse Mecabre is w/e
if they brought it back would it be gaming
yes
it was fun but a bit wonky
legion sub was bis
funnel god
People say current havoc has funnel. Legion sub is the funnel god
It’s been fun watching them stubbornly try to keep it around
I can’t wait for 12.0 when it gets deleted and 14.0 when it comes back
back and forth 😄
DF sub funnel was kinda nuts too
DF? Nah that was good funnel
No arguement here
Current assa has significantly better funnel the DF sub or havoc
Legion sub had to have funnel we had no aoe finisher 😄
We had DfA every like 30 seconds
Legion last patch was imo best wow ever
my beloved
varimatheras?
you couldnt bring a melee on prog 😄
best wow ever would have been MoP, specs and classes had designers that really cared for them and it showed
Oh you mean Coven
pretty much every class was peak
mop was broken
yeah
classic mop will expose it 
MoP Combat rogue is insane
mop was good just I hated the start of exp
like I stopped the game for that first tier
yeah me too
middle of xpac in ToT was banger
yeah ToT was great and Soo
I mean if we're gonna compare start of mop and start of legion, start of legion wasn't exactly better, where you were literally better off deleting your character if you got a bad legendary to drop
Start of legion had 1 problem
Snapshotting made SoO feel way worse bc some specs absolutely feasted with it
and that was legendaries
while others just sat there
legion had multiple problems, the artifact grind was as much an issue as getting a bad legendary, only worse because you couldn't solve it by deleting your character
EXCEPT for legendaries, legion was flawless
Except for the major game defining system
AP grind was brutal for like 0.01% of mythic raiders lets be real
Also ap was not flawless
tbf the artifact grind wasnt an issue. People were just making to much of a fuss about it tbh
And for anyone who wanted to play more than one spec or character
They fixed it later
it was more than a small issue, it locked you into a spec
But on launch it was very much a real problem
Yeah that's fair, I wasn't multi speccing
eventually, EVENTUALLY, they gave up and just flooded you with AP and it didn't matter anymore, but we're talking about the start of legion here
Imo if you played 1 spec it was only legendary system that could fuck you
there was still people grinding the endless mainstat procc I remember
there was no cap on it or?0
Blizzard releasing a system with an insane grind, realizing its issues and fixing them last patch of the expac, then repeating
For like 4 fucking expansions
anyway I quit during the first tier when I got a defense legendary instead of the one that boosted my damage by 5% (fire mage), figured the system wasn't respecting my time so I wouldn't respect it with my dollars
concordance just kept going, yeah
Borrowed power wasn’t bad, blizzard not learning its lesson the first time was the problem
legion had some giga trinkets
some time around dragonflight they stopped doing that shit and I'm glad to be back and have it be reasonable again
do we ever sectec outside of burst window without sd
no
yes
you sometimes sectech without dance
fuck you haptics


yeah , becausee that stuff was way more interesting than what we have going on right now lol
something like corruption or essences would be pretty cool with none of the alt gating
these talent trees arent doing it for me right now lol
it was fun at the end of an expansion
ok sub question, how do you guys keep decide when to spread rupture
to just let people go nuts
is it when tanks pull, and if you get two or three out is that enough?
with 7x gushing wounds
if things will last 10+ sec and won't delay your cooldowns
ok thank you, that helps
with replicating shadows you should comfortably be able to spread 4-6 at the least
depends on how big your tank is pulling
and slow on some classes
that start of pack moment with tricks + rupturing everyone is cool
tank is pulling huge, but i cant keep up with the enhance shaman
trying to figure out what to do
he is just pressing two buttons, and at 10mil, and i am barely hitting 6 mil burst
if the enhance is killing everything in like 30 sec or less just skip rupture
bc flag is 24 sec
ok
and blades is 16
and do you just watch the other peoples cds, and dont use your cooldown when they do?>
this is the smart thing to do yes
I don't play at that level so idk
play higher keys 
idk rn everything below a 15 on live feel like a 10 from last week
the scaling rn on live is omega screwed imo
problem with outlaw is you need to have some mobs up for some time to actually do damage
you kinda ramp ngl
yeah i am only doing 10s
problem with outlaw is they are making it dogshit
next season i want to push up higher
10s rn you cant do dmg ngl
ok sounds good
We tested on wednesday with the guild some keys and was np doing 15s because scaling is so broken rn
oh wow
and no I didnt push either this season
dude everything is dying, we are doing the keys in like 15 min
but the shaman is still blowing everything up
how are they not getting nerfed
i cant keep up
yeah really do higher keys scaling is screwed
frost is still pumping, no?
if you played with 2 dps less you would still time a 10
Ok so they changed the scaling to be like it is in S2 (so lower scaling). But the season 2 baseline m0 dungeons are way harder to compensate for the lower scaling
So what ended up happening this week (and its only this week) is that its just significantly easier
if this is the scaling idk also ptr seems pretty easy with bis gear doing also 15tens
Since they havent retuned s1 m0s
like all dungeons look pretty chill just people need the knowledgebase. But dungeons people know already you can do 15tens on ptr with bis gear np and 10ens with pugs you can just run through
I guess the season will be way easier
So just like s1
Which is a good thing
this whole squish is dumb af
nah S1 was a pain because of the omega jump from 11-12 at the start
df had good balance
Its just the first season thats harder, because you dont have any gear going into it
They smoothed that out the 11-12 jump
yes I agree but also you had this imo bad tuned jump from 11-12
I just do 3k most season besides my raiding for fun since I like my spec, but this time the jump was imo not worth the grind and tbf wasnt fun. After that season was over and I feel a lot of people had that issue
you couldnt even distinguish good and bad players from the rating anymore due to the bottleneck at 12s
yup
Was a very poor design imo
The jump was more like 3-4 Keylevel imo at the start then one or two
idk why they need to fuck with the m+ scaling like that
and the dumbass expansion affix
During your Flagellation and Shadow Blades you want your second Shadow Dance to be cast immediately after the first one ends. You do not
want to cast Symbols of Death at the same time as your second Shadow Dance, but rather 1 or 2 seconds later when Secret Technique has
10 seconds or less remaining. This is to make sure you supercharge the Secret Technique instead of an Eviscerate.
Because of this a Shadow Dance+Symbols of Death macro is not ideal.
How big is the dps difference on this ^
is it bad to macro flaggation and sb together?
May or may not have had them macro'd
I have them seperate too so I dont just always push the macro but I def start the first two dances with it haha
So after our burst we are spamming rup if it’s about to run out if not we spam evis, what are yall casting to build stacks of CP? Go to right for me is shuriken storm if more than three targets if not doing back stab to build points
Unless I’m missing something major
you storm with 2 targets
so should i be saving symbols for dance? or just send to maintain uptime?
Thank you ❤️
Ok thats with tfd instead of wm
Will rewire my brain lol
But it doesnt really matter that much for this comparison
so if the fight last more than 1.5 mins and we start our next burst are we just skipping that first shadowstrike? since we cant stealth? and doing SoD into flag?
Every dance should have a symbols and sectech. And sectech should always be supercharged
or flag-dance-finisher
so skip SoD, flag evis van shadow rub Sod dance? and cont the chain that way?>
SoD is used with dance
There shouldnt be a SoD at the begining there
Not in the opener either
The wowhead guide is misleading. The "prepull sod" thats mentioned is supposed to be used 25+ before pull
Not right before pull, because that does fuckall
my current rotation is stealth Sod shadow flag evisvan shadow rub SoD dance shadow (temps and trinkets dance shadow CD SB ST shadow shadow evis
Yea the sod should be back fully charged before you pull. Just now you are supercharged
Toss that initial sod in the trashcan, its literally wasted
Skip it
so same opener just no SoD?
No man, its very wrong all around
looks like this
my rotation is the wowheads one almost to the T
yhea my bad, I read shadow and tought you meant shadow dance
eleem is correct as always
i just feel like that fall off from our spike is crazy, (im only 622 Ilevel) but on that 5 target dummy im only spike to 5.2M and can hold 2.1M
That’s intended
makes me feel like im doing something wrong lol
Very high burst, very low between burst
You might be, but that part is intended
It def throws people off at first
But it’s how you balance doing so much damage in cooldowns
Sub is not a spec when you dont have dance up
Should backstab and shadowstrike be bound seperately still? Or it’s not a big deal
Kick/kidney bot at that point
That’s why I volunteer for mechanics and stuff between dances lol
just idk what to do during CD
It takes practice
Probably more than a good amount of specs
And it’ll be different between dummy and raid/dungeons because of skyfury buff
wait, what means "Two + Four set"?
New 2 set and new 4 set
So wait, Supercharge works on SecTec but Shadow blades doesn't affect it. That how it works right?
Shadow blades works on sectech now
Blades affects sectech now
oh shit
I’ve started begging random shamans I see to give me windfury so I can actually practice with it lmao
Nice bugfix from ptr
So I want it hit before sec now
Yes
WELL DAMN
I don't understand, it simply means 4 set complete?
BRB hitting the dummies
(it doesnt matter, but if you want hit it before)
xD
Yes
ok.
Some people read 4pc as just the 4pc bonus not both
yes dude, 2 set and 4 set bonus.
what are you missing
the confusion
i mean i dont think its worded super great imo, like ofc you have 2p when you have 4p so 2p + 4p only makes people think there could be a way to do an old 2set and new 4p or something
how is it possible? XD
hey dude go back to your channel #outlaw
sorry im just kidding
There has been confusion with both wordings
Doomed to never win
Since the 2pc and 4pc have different effects some people see 4pc and think that’s just the damage bonus from that part of the tier set, not the combined bonus
i can see that
I want a poll on that lol
bud how are you so confused
It’s been asked 
but why? lol, who the f think we would dare to do a sim on something that is NOT possible? XD
he aint confused hes just saying that 2p + 4p is more confusing wording than just 4p
exactly
