#

it is only a 15% chance of it dropping

#

just dont be unlucky

still quartz
#

or probably just GAMBLE

#

yeah

#

exactly

#

time to be outlaw once

short radish
#

but maybe it is confirmation bias

still quartz
#

you bet

tepid trellis
#

best recommendation i can make is to just not track the set in raid at all

short radish
#

since i notice when i lose 8 stacks

tepid trellis
#

pure vibes

short radish
#

but idgaf when i lose 2 stacks

tepid trellis
#

had that happen in raid twice on pull

#

and then i stopped tracking my tierset in raid

#

best decision of my life

short radish
#

ignorance kinda bliss

tepid trellis
#

wont tilt me i cant see it

short radish
#

maybe i'll turn it off as well

warm marlin
#

from what I can tell the apl ruptures only once flag has 10s left

#

probably fine to do

short radish
#

thank you for confirming my feelycraft

warm marlin
#

ive also just been rupturing if i have like 15s on flag and coup up + 8 stacks

#

the amount of times ive been burned pressing blackpowder to see 8 tier stacks disappear and then only proc twice in cds is too high

tribal blade
#

i still track the set because i like seeing

tepid trellis
#

tbf i dont really do any of the minmaxes

#

i dont hold coup's i dont backstab in dance

lucid jackal
#

whasts even hold coup

#

is it 20?

tepid trellis
#

around there yeh

lucid jackal
#

I do all the minmaxes

#

Dont matter cuz 663 ilvl Okayge

tepid trellis
#

i do none of em

twilit phoenix
#

Twinning

tepid trellis
#

and i still get 100s

warm marlin
tepid trellis
#

why do more when i can do less

lucid jackal
#

dude sin on mugzee is so chill

#

Only sin minmax is DN in Lingering Shadows

#

Other than that u dont pool

#

U dont do nothin

short radish
#

i dont want to play sin again

warm marlin
#

honestly I would probably hold coup/tier if it was a slight loss because seeing big numbers in cds is fun

twilit phoenix
brisk onyx
lucid jackal
#

this tier is good

brisk onyx
lucid jackal
#

Noobs who base their entire opinion on the tier based on RWF say this tier is bad

#

but idk bro

#

I like the difficulty distribution

short radish
#

whos saying this tier is bad?

twilit phoenix
#

This raid bangs

tepid trellis
#

i dont vibe with the bosses

short radish
#

only boss i dont vibe with is stix

lucid jackal
#

sprocket a good boss

#

oab a good boss

tepid trellis
#

Locken makes me incredibly angry

lucid jackal
#

Mugzee has bee fun so far

short radish
#

sprocket is so chill for melee

warm marlin
#

locken was kinda interesting

short radish
#

like what mechanics do melee acutally have to do there otehr than just hit boss

tribal blade
#

locken feels alright so far

#

we've done half a night of prog on it

tepid trellis
#

i love when the tank that is tanking the boss is the same colour as me for 80% of the fight

#

so i cant apply FW outside of dances

short radish
#

and mald at ranged dropping drills in melee

tepid trellis
#

its a 10/10 experience

brisk onyx
#

locken is a bitch

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

horseshit mechanic

lucid jackal
tribal blade
#

bro backstab only applying FW from behind is so bad

lucid jackal
#

Its chill idk

tribal blade
#

why is backstab even a thing anymore

tepid trellis
#

just remove FW

tribal blade
#

backstab does 0 damage

short radish
#

oh yeah and that

tribal blade
#

but has a directional requirement

short radish
tepid trellis
#

personally i loved

twilit phoenix
#

Make all sub abilities like BS

warm marlin
#

removing parry with fazed just to have to stand behind the boss anyway for FW is insane

tepid trellis
#

only having 70% FW

barren wolf
bleak night
#

sub should only do damage if they're behind the target

#

to be thematic

lucid jackal
brisk onyx
barren wolf
#

wrong, monk alert(noob too)

lucid jackal
#

I just dont track shit I can't control

tepid trellis
#

and then you go

#

lemme just try and storm for FW

#

ah shit

#

45 energy

#

and it didn't crit

#

yep

#

great

barren wolf
#

bruh last time i played sub was on raszageth, i changed class before i went sub this expansion

tepid trellis
#

dogshit 15 year old mechanic (i dont fcking know when FW became a thing)

twilit phoenix
#

Sub is so fun rn

warm marlin
#

why is it not just backstab crits/base shadowstrikes apply FW

barren wolf
#

backshots should apply find weakness imo

tribal blade
#

FW in itself just creates more problems than it solves

tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

because of shadowed finishers

brisk onyx
tribal blade
#

and also backstab bullshit applying FW

twilit phoenix
#

FW should only be applied with shuriken toss

bleak night
#

shuriken toss as a rotational ability

warm marlin
#

fwiw skipping the backstab for DM and just shadowstriking for FW is a decent gain if you are forced to stand in front of the boss

bleak night
#

to lean into the ninja aesthetic

twilit phoenix
#

Shuriken weaving

tribal blade
#

it's just funny that backstab went from a huge dopamine button during vanilla critting for 1/3rd of people's hp

#

and now it's a useless button that does 0 dam

tepid trellis
barren wolf
tepid trellis
#

Deadly throw

#

in WoD

#

making you ranged xD

barren wolf
#

i was like 4 yo in WoD

#

idk

tribal blade
#

yeah i was skipping the backstab min max during the start of TWW and still parsing pretty well

bleak night
#

i only started playing rogue in shadowlands so these words mean nothing to me

tribal blade
#

start of this season*

tepid trellis
barren wolf
#

🤠

twilit phoenix
#

I was in high school

bleak night
#

when was wod

warm marlin
bleak night
#

2014

#

think i had just started highschool

tepid trellis
#

fully skib backstabbing

#

is the way

#

let blizzard know that, that button should NOT be pressed in dance

vagrant sinew
#

I was old even in wod

tribal blade
#

it still doesn't feel good pressing stab in dance

tepid trellis
#

ryler you were old

tribal blade
#

i don't like it

twilit phoenix
tepid trellis
#

when the game launched

vagrant sinew
#

why do you have to hurt me with words like that

tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

hey during the lockensprock intermission with gate

#

do you guys just insta step the boss

barren wolf
#

if you mean mythic, i didnt play rogue but just do it with gate/knock because there might be someone else not doing it properly and ending up on boss

#

and youll get touched

warm marlin
#

step another person and pull go kaboom

#

it only takes like 1.5s to run into melee after gate with sprint

tribal blade
#

watching a pov and looks a lot simpler to just stack with your group yeah

#

the whole time

random hare
#

@tepid trellis peeposmile gear check

barren wolf
#

after nerfs the boss is just play safe, kill boss

warm marlin
#

it's not really a super tight damage check and you end up holding flag for a bit anyway at the 3min mark so farming the cdr for stuff isnt too tight

#

just chill vibe through

tepid trellis
barren wolf
tepid trellis
#

i still dont raid wednesday

random hare
#

no cap

barren wolf
#

imagine not having jaster diamond on 2 characters

#

🥶

random hare
#

its shit

warm marlin
#

use the ring from top

#

as off ring

#

or pvp neck

random hare
#

what are u yapping about

warm marlin
#

u got too much mastery

tepid trellis
#

mastery becomes

#

not good

random hare
#

i mean

worn ivy
#

Ive the same
Problem

random hare
#

i guess yea

#

mastery is good in m+ or

worn ivy
#

110 mastery rn

random hare
#

sims almost the same for me

#

in dslice

clever dirge
#

guys which is better now after the patch sub or assa?

barren wolf
#

still ww

clever dirge
#

ww?

tepid trellis
#

green rogue

tribal blade
#

windwalker monk

clever dirge
#

i didnt ask which class though

tepid trellis
#

Rogue is mid regardless, the diff between the two is so minor that you can just play w/e

#

they sim pretty much identical to each other

#

one has better passive cleave other has burst cleave

#

one has execute, one does not

clever dirge
#

thanks

tepid trellis
#

so like value out those things and pick from there

lucid jackal
#

Sub everywhere

#

Sin mugzee mythic

#

💯

worn ivy
#

@random hare

random hare
#

yea im going higher vers

worn ivy
#

if my char didnt got bugged i would craft boots or wrist with versa but blizz loves me

#

apperently missing 1 spark due to bugged weekly

vernal junco
#

shit

#

still no cards

worn ivy
#

get the peacemaker bro wdym

vernal junco
#

yep

lusty swan
#

should i be outlaw sub or sin for M+. i really like sub but i feel i fall behind classes like paladins in the 12's range of keys

hoary lotus
#

play what you want

#

it literally doens't matter

#

especially in a 12

tribal blade
lucid jackal
#

both specs aer good

#

play whats fun/comfortable

lucid jackal
#

plus sin cleave can go thru walls

tribal blade
#

gotcha

lucid jackal
#

and sin gets an execute lust

#

For reference, unless sub is getting +1 cds, and idk if even then it matters

#

Sin is 20% stronger than the other 2 in execute

tribal blade
#

cool cool, i'm gonna seriously consider playing sin on that fight then

lucid jackal
#

Unless u feel like being a special snowflake

#

Id suggest sin really hard

tribal blade
#

probably depends

#

like my guild is progging locken right now

#

just started locken prog

#

so by the time we get to mugzee we'll have a lot more gear and raid buff

#

but yeah sin doing way more execute dam sounds juicy

#

damn there's only 1 public rogue log of m mugzee

lucid jackal
#

oab hard boss

worn ivy
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
warm marlin
#

they need the 2nd deathmark to really pull ahead

barren wolf
#

so assa is better uwu

tribal blade
#

fair point

#

i dig it

barren wolf
#

like you just get out of melee for 10-15 seconds during bombs in p1 to soak shit

barren wolf
#

cause dmg is irrelevant

lucid jackal
#

its an execute lust either way

#

So like

#

Its a really good deathmark

barren wolf
#

i wish i could play assa on mugzee...

tribal blade
#

i meant to look up how to optimally play around TTK

warm marlin
#

I dont particularly want to play sin so really hoping to see that it's like a 1:50 burn by the time we get there

tribal blade
random hare
#

you only play around the last 1 stack envenom buff @tribal blade

novel plaza
#

they gotta buff black powder dmg no cap

tribal blade
#

continually buffing BP dam becomes problematic

novel plaza
#

either that or give shuriken tornado for free

random hare
#

they can buff dance cdr instead and energy regen slightly if they do

novel plaza
#

somehow get easier access

random hare
#

tornado is outdated

#

must be deleted

novel plaza
#

something must be done, our aoe is not competitive enough

potent summit
#

Uncap aoe like splatter in sin and delete BP

#

Give sub banshees blight

muted agate
#

sub when everyone else gets gear 💀

potent summit
#

Done

#

Also banshees blight with the execute. Tune it a bit and sub can play the game

tribal blade
#

yeah nado is a horrible button now

#

doesn't fit with sub at all anymore

lusty swan
#

Hey prolly dumb question but is bubbling wax worth using at all? Or just use the whetstones

muted agate
#

fuck nado

#

never liked tha button

potent summit
#

Prob is Blizz doesn’t give a damn about sub. There are many dead talents and things like BP, Nado and Goremaw

lusty swan
#

I feel like some classes like ret burst just as hard in aoe and just sustain there

potent summit
#

Find Weakness needs rework. Dark Brew is kinda out of place aswell

#

Lingering shadow is odd af

#

So many talents that don’t fit into any builds or do anything

fleet acorn
#

When I spam bs 20 sec with no Energy to get fw up on the boss to Finally do my small burst dance

potent summit
#

You get fw with strike

#

So no need to farm it. But ya it’s still a shit talent

fleet acorn
#

U burst not with dance- Strike on st

#

U do dance- bs - sectec- strike- Evic

#

If u don’t have fw before that u loose dmg

warm marlin
#

do strike and skip the premed backstab if you dont have fw

#

its a 0.5% gain to bs assuming like 100% fw uptime

potent summit
#

Yes you lose 1 stack of macabre. But standing there wasting time is more of a loss

#

Just strike

#

Like he said

dusky hatch
#

Hello gents. I currently play assas in m+ and I dont mind it. Is it worth trying to pick up sub? I mean is it that more efficient / better ?

crystal oasis
#

Does Sub have any interaction with Magnet, ie do we only use during dance or something etc?

maiden oar
#

dummy sim likes to do this for non opener cd windows, should i be doing this instead of the opener order also? theyre also doing the single target black powder thing to make sure coup ends up in cds as the finisher right after shadow blades - unsure if thats a prereq for doing it this way or not

lucid jackal
#

Sometimes all it takes is a good tier set, a random trinket or synergy to turn a talent from a joke, to core

iron obsidian
#

my massive sub gamers

#

how big of a damage loss is it by using CB with my first SecTech?

lucid jackal
#

like 1%

iron obsidian
#

so not too big?

lucid jackal
#

Depends how you define it

potent summit
lucid jackal
#

Some mythic upgrades are 1% and I'd say they are pretty big

jaunty heath
#

!1% is big

lucid jackal
#

Up to u

iron obsidian
#

aight thanks gamers

jaunty heath
#

more is i dont understand this new macabre meta. How big is the backstab and shadowblades delay

lucid jackal
#

Sin doesn't really have dead talents because they have "aoe talents" and "st talents"

#

its very binary

#

And even still theres some useless stuff

potent summit
#

What about Nado and Goremaw? I think they are out of place. Rest I guess you are right

vale pine
lucid jackal
#

Yeah nado stinks and goremaws doesnt really fit with current sub

iron obsidian
lucid jackal
#

Would be nice to have less totally shit talents but at the same time I don't really envy the fact that sin has a full on "Aoe build"

vale pine
#

assassination has less dead talents because many of their talents got reworked, something that did not happen on subtlety so far

iron obsidian
#

^

potent summit
#

True it would be fun if they just delete Nado and powder 😂😂

vale pine
#

not happen is harsh, it happened

#

but not to the same degree

#

e.g. to just look over the last patches

#

assassiantion had subterfuge adjusted to work on them, which did not happen for subtlety

#

but both got some adjustments in other talents

iron obsidian
#

tho wouldnt having a subterfuge like that kinda ruin the spec abit

vale pine
#

we got the first dance reworked

#

which is tbh a good idea

#

but

iron obsidian
#

well not ruin per say

vale pine
#

the 6 sec timer is a absolutely bad addition

iron obsidian
#

but make it feel slower

potent summit
vale pine
#

there should be no timer

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

the timer does not even start when you are able to stealth

#

its based on a diffrent event

#

so its extremely convolluted

potent summit
#

Ya true.

alpine wraith
#

i wish first dance was triggered by using x finishers or by a button instead of just stealth things

vale pine
#

it is also for me hard to understand the reasoning behind the timer

potent summit
#

I’m still convinced Banshees blight as a talent would be Giga

vale pine
#

because the dev team is well aware that restealth mechanics are annoying for the player

#

so i can't rly follow how you design a talent which has the downsides of restealth

#

but makes it even worse

#

to give them ideas

#

iron wirse is a bit too good, if they want to add a timer add one to that talent

#

tfd can be easy controled by just altering the +dance benefits, tho subtlety does not look outstandingly strong in m+ so i don't think it is a problem

potent summit
#

Well iron wire won’t be taken that often, cause if the dmg downsides. You lose a dmg talent

#

But sub needs a buff after the flat buff to assa

#

For no good reason

#

ST I understand

lucid jackal
#

Assa was pretty shit in raid thats why it got buffed

potent summit
#

But the 3% overall was kinda well

tribal blade
#

well my ISP got back to me

lucid jackal
#

all 3 specs are getting played by rogues pushing keys rn

tribal blade
#

they know everyone in HK can't access wow, and they tried getting in contact with blizz to fix it but they got no reply

#

so we have to try to contact blizz ourselves to fix this

#

this is madness

iron obsidian
#

i personally think it shoulda gotten the 3% buff

potent summit
#

I feel like it’s busted in m+ compared to sub for minimum effort

iron obsidian
#

but not the extra 2% due to the mutilate and ambush buff

#

where we just take VV and TTB now

lucid jackal
#

Sin is probably the hardest key spec of the 3

#

wdym lo

potent summit
#

It isn’t by far not 😂😂

#

But well that’s personal preference i guess

vale pine
lucid jackal
#

I dont give a fuck about statistics

vale pine
#

and it is now statistically better than subtelty

lucid jackal
#

I care about the actual fights

#

NObody whos actually evaluating raid value is looking at stats

vale pine
#

tuning usually looks at statistics ^^

lucid jackal
#

Raid stats would say "Play outlaw on mugzee"

#

But nobody who is playing world of warcraft raiding is saying "Yeah Outlaw looks good on mugzee"

vale pine
#

raid statistics put assassiantion over outlaw on mugzee

lucid jackal
#

Brother

vale pine
#

you disagree with assassiantion?

#

on the fight

lucid jackal
#

Okay

potent summit
#

I played a prio 11 yesterday 2 times. With sub and with assa. Sub did a good 3,2 mil overall. Assa 4mil. And assa feels like you don’t even have to play perfect to reach that.

lucid jackal
#

I'm not about to have a debate about how worthless WCL is at 3:20am

potent summit
#

And before the buffs assa was just fine. Maybe just ST buff would have been enough

vale pine
#

haha

vale pine
#

i am just saying, outlaw is now behind on most fights

#

so the argument of outlaw being statistically better even tho its bad on a fight is not as good anymore

potent summit
lucid jackal
#

fuu I'm begging you to stop using the WCL statistics page

vale pine
#

XD

#

i am not making a argument around it being accurate

lucid jackal
#

Then why are u referencing it

vale pine
#

because your argument was based on a false promise

potent summit
#

The funny thing is even whispyr was wondering about the buffs

vale pine
#

fight specifics will always matter

potent summit
#

Cause they came out of nowhere

lucid jackal
#

wcl stats page doesnt tell you anything about that

#

WCL stats page doesn't tell u that SIn is valuable on mugzee

vale pine
#

and outlaw will, for that reason, be the worse picks on several fights

#

but sub and sin both ended up being quite mediocre on st output

#

yet only one was buffed

lucid jackal
#

itll get buffs just like rogue got all of nerubar palace

vale pine
#

the main argument is that fight timings fit better for sub or specifics you can bring, but for every fight this isn't true

#

the argument that sin was noticable worse is mood

lucid jackal
#

I mean Sin is literally a carry spec on mugzee for example when it comes to boss damage

#

having "medicore st" again

#

doesnt tell u the full story

vale pine
#

well you just make an argument

#

against the sin buff

lucid jackal
#

What are u talking about

vale pine
#

maybe i missunderstand

#

carry spec = needs to get carried by others

#

or

#

is carrying others

#

?

lucid jackal
#

Assassination rogue is top 5 boss damage specs on mugzee

#

You will never find this information on WCL

rugged condor
#

With the buffs i think sin will be the predominant spec for bandit as well

clever delta
#

It's looking rough, asaa overtake on every boss till bandit and than it's mugzee again 😄

vale pine
#

it was top boss damage before the buffs

lucid jackal
#

Okay I'm going to bed

vale pine
#

so not sure i understand where you are going

lucid jackal
#

I'm getting cancer

#

goodnight

vale pine
#

goodnight

#

but just to be clear, you made the assessment that assassination needed a buff

lucid jackal
#

NOWHERE DID I SAY THIS

clever delta
#

Man are you suppose to be sleeping

jaunty heath
#

You just said sin was shit in raid

#

Like 10 messages ago

#

Sorry guy

vale pine
#

ForeverGuy: Assa was pretty shit in raid thats why it got buffed

wild hornet
#

I think outlaw needs a buff

#

Theyre deadge

lucid jackal
#

Assa didn't need a buff

#

But it was shit

#

thats why it got buffed

#

Sin did a job

#

It did execute extremely well, a raid encounter in this raid is defined almost entierly by execute

#

This spec SHOULDNT have gotten buffed

novel plaza
#

isnt outlaw the top spec for M+?

lucid jackal
#

But it did, because on most fights, its kinda ass

wild hornet
lucid jackal
#

This is why the WCL stats page is stupid

vale pine
#

i am not following tbh, maybe its too early

jaunty heath
#

I don’t think there’s a relevant fight where subs nieche matters and without that nieche sin wasn’t behind sub

vale pine
#

but if a spec did not need a buff

#

and gets a buff

jaunty heath
#

none if this makes sense

vale pine
#

how is it shit in raid?

lucid jackal
#

Because on every other fight than mugzee it was bad

jaunty heath
#

It was not tho

lucid jackal
#

Okay

vale pine
#

also why is it diffrent to subtlety, which again if we look at statistics is very much in line with assasisnation

jaunty heath
#

Where are you pulling that from

lucid jackal
#

Okay

wild hornet
#

I think we should just nuke assa down into aug tier

jaunty heath
#

Sub was bound to be better for 2-3 weeks we knew this

plush roost
#

This is some good popcorn debate

jaunty heath
#

You knew this

#

But with gear sin wasn’t shit?

wild hornet
potent summit
#

Like I said assa didn’t need a buff. Also in m+ it’s now busted with it.

lucid jackal
#

Maybe thats it

plush roost
lucid jackal
#

Its all the sin gear scaling coming into play

jaunty heath
#

I wouldn’t call it scaling but

void ocean
#

isnt like assa st in m+ still bad?

jaunty heath
#

Having a bis trinket from last tier really helps week 1-2

vale pine
#

XD ye the 5% buff gear scaling

potent summit
plush roost
#

Sub is pretty low effort now

potent summit
vale pine
wild hornet
vale pine
#

i mean, just crit

jaunty heath
#

Udk is what it’s been a lot of times

#

An mdi spec

potent summit
wild hornet
#

Why havent i thought of just critting every spell

jaunty heath
#

whoops

#

Sorry

#

Forgot it’s banned here

teal coral
potent summit
#

Btw I’m playing assa now

teal coral
#

PACK IT UP BLUE ARMIN

#

YOURE GOING AWAY FOR A LONG TIME

jaunty heath
#

Pls sir

#

I beg sir

plush roost
#

!!! He had a family

#

Dont do this to him

clever delta
#

Whispyr what spec i play tonight

#

Any ass gaming

brisk onyx
#

I don’t know what you are arguing about. To me, all 3 specs are rogues. Any one of them getting a buff is exciting. I will never say that a certain spec does not need a buff.

jaunty heath
#

Outlaws aren’t rogues

#

2 specs are rogues

vale pine
plush roost
#

Boy we sure are here to shitstir today aren't we

potent summit
#

We played assa last season would have been fun that sub gets some spotlight

#

Im fine with assa. I was just saying. Would have been nice to be on parse

teal coral
# plush roost !!! He had a family

minor drug possession charge, he's going into the slammer for 25 years with good behavior and then will be reintroduced to a society he no longer recognizes that will ostracize him for being a ex-con and he will live the rest of his life sad and alone as the rehabilitation that the prison system is supposed to provide instead ravages his future to an irreparable extent

sorry don't make the rules just enforce them

teal coral
#

will keep in mind next time

potent summit
#

Back to what I wanted to say about all this stuff. Rework some sub talents/spells give this spec some love. That’s all I wanted to say

brisk onyx
solar geode
#

the Subtlety rogue fandom is dying
share if you're a sub

rugged condor
#

Remove goremaws bite and give us a new talent

#

Could be fun

brisk onyx
vale pine
#

most people learned subtlety, it will be a bit before people switch

potent summit
#

Banshees Blight. Now! Let’s demonstrate on Ions Doorstep

#

And don’t call it banshees blight just do it as new lingering shadow or goremaws

maiden oar
#

is it ever a good idea to black powder in st to move coup into flag / blades still? and if yes is it 20s or less on flag cd or a different threshold?

vale pine
#

we suggested the use of sylvanas dagger effect as a talent

brisk onyx
#

PLEASE

vale pine
#

it wasn't added because of concerns about giving subtlety some form of execute

#

assassiantion is the only rogue spec which is allowed to have execute from what we know

plush roost
#

Yeah specs wouldn't wanna step on eachothers toes

#

Cough

potent summit
rugged condor
vale pine
#

i mean yes, df added so many things especially from subtlety now to the other 2

plush roost
vale pine
#

but also all 3 specs now have blade flurry

#

you can discuss implementation details

potent summit
#

I don’t see where the problem would be to have a soft execute

#

Just tune it to not make it stronger compared to assa

vale pine
#

because assassiantions blade flurry is stronger than the other BF variants

#

by design, tuning ofc can differ

worn ivy
#

@vale pine brother in your !sheet in dungeon silence your talent tree is lilbit sus or am i trippin ?

potent summit
#

I think blizz just doesn’t want to tune the talents cause it would be too much work

vale pine
#

its not sus

brisk onyx
#

In the beginning, outlaw (combat) was the only spec that was allowed to cleave, then came spatter, and then nimble.

#

So

vale pine
#

the first dance is not extremely well estimated

#

so you don't get resets in dungeon slice

vale pine
#

so the question becomes, how strong is the first dance

potent summit
#

Having banshees blight would push our aoe aswell but we would be still capped

worn ivy
#

Do i play this talents or ?

#

First danc with eye if kezan is kinda meh

vale pine
#

let me finish my line of explenation

potent summit
#

The first dance is giga but with the restrictions it’s kinda troll sometimes

vale pine
#

basically, the problem this build runs in

#

is it can't easily pick up the first dance

#

because each of the talents picked work well together

potent summit
#

First dance should reset with vanish for example

vale pine
#

so if you play the first dance

#

the regular build is better

#

if you don't

#

the above is rly good

#

only marginal worse on single target

#

and better on each target count above

worn ivy
#

Im at phone so im not sure if i see correctly but u play 2x finality + darkbrew no ? @vale pine

potent summit
#

1x final no dark brew

vale pine
#

you would play this if you want dark brew and tfd

worn ivy
vale pine
#

but tfd is in favor of dark brew

unreal solstice
#

can someone hit the weakaura ! im not certain what it is ❤️

potent summit
#

Is dark brew worth it right now ?

potent summit
#

Ah k

vale pine
#

its just

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

if you don't play the first dance

worn ivy
#

Ohh ok i got it now

vale pine
#

dark brew is ahead

worn ivy
#

I will test when i go home

vale pine
#

if you want a comparison

#

^ this has simulations

#

comparing multiple talent strings

worn ivy
#

This will be better in ml and cinderbrew for sure imo

#

Wait we have less symbols with this build

#

How its gonna be on st

#

Rotation wise

vale pine
#

you use tornado also on single target

#

which is in part why tornado is relevant

worn ivy
#

Hmm like back in sl

#

Tornado st

#

You drop %5 for tornado

void ocean
#

wait, what r we cookin rn

worn ivy
#

Fuu is genius i might play this on 16 cinder or ml will try it tbh

#

Tank needs to play arround you with this build btw adds into boss

#

For more prio value

#

Btw @vale pine instad if perforate vains can u not go left side on this tree

#

I mean also f tfd just go wep master or

hallow sigil
#

I'm finding few opportunities where first dance actually comes into play especially in weekly 10s to 12s. Is there a different build that sacs 0.2% ST for better DMG everywhere else then?

worn ivy
#

I just double check actually u forced to play perforate vains

vale pine
hallow sigil
#

Can you share this build that you wanna try?

#

I really wanna try that

#

Or is it pinned and I didn't check PogO

vale pine
#

unreal solstice
#

I thought to ask when flag was closer to 15 seconds on cd I'm presuming I would hold and save up the SD charge for when flag and shadow blades are up?

hallow sigil
#

Correct

unreal solstice
#

is it 3 or 4 secret techniques on average per big cooldown window?

hallow sigil
vale pine
#

dark brew mostly became relevant because of the apl updates we did

#

we still look into finding some more small improvements

hallow sigil
#

That should still theoretically mean that it's an improvement for normal play right?

vale pine
#

yes

#

i did try to document it in a understandable way

hallow sigil
#

Ah I see. So don't tornado during dance. What's the find weakness breakpoint for? Sry I'm really bad at reading the apl code

#

And other than that everything else I assume is played normally

#

Excited to try this

#

Sin is now cooking in m+ but its such a sleeper spec on ST with how slow it is kekdog

vale pine
#

its a bit controversial

#

but you can essentially replace the target values we use for aoe atm

worn ivy
#

You can also play this build without tornado or ? @vale pine

vale pine
#

with amounts of active find weaknesses

vale pine
hallow sigil
#

Ah so 5+ weaknesses you'd powder? Or is it with 8+ mobs but 5+ weaknesses I'd still evis?

#

I assume the latter

vale pine
#

yes

#

5+ find weaknesses out, you would bp

hallow sigil
#

I assumed incorrectly peepoWork

vale pine
#

so technically rotten during dance would also become 5+

#

well

#

6+

#

5 seems to be whatever

hallow sigil
#

I was already thinking, but always forgetting, to fok with rotten in dance

#

For many weaknesses up

vale pine
#

which is what this change did

hallow sigil
#

So you'd BP on 6+ weaknesses, but still use cut the grass with any target count right?

vale pine
#

cut the grass

#

lol

#

nice name for coup_de_grace

#

you will always use it

#

reguardless of target count

#

similar, you will use strike in dance instead of storm

#

outside of the one storm for find weakness from rotten

Hi, I’m a rogue beginner I start the game I’ve just reach lvl 80 yesterday, someone can help me to have the good rotations and open in mono and multi target pls ? (I’m sorry if my English isn’t realy good I’m training ^^’)

Are you guys sending CB on your first Sectec in +10s? I feel like - no matter the comp - by the time I arrive at my 2nd CB, there's a lousy 3 mobs standing, even in big pulls 😄

brittle echo
#

do we reapply rupture during dance? or let rupture fall off and rupture after? or refresh rupture before dancing regardless of pandemic?

lost kite
#

You refresh and apply ruptures on downtime of cds

#

But on pull dont delay cds for ruptures just send 1 rupture after you flag to get the mastery stacking before blades etc

brittle echo
lost kite
#

Yeah i mean its the whole point of applying and refreshing in downtime

#

But in any case i normally always use 1 rupture just after flag

Does anyone have a First Dance weak aura? I'm tryna let my pugs know I need like 1 more second before that boss pull lmao

# vale pine its just

So is this comparing the „standard“ M+ Build to the „new“ m+ Build with brew and tornado?

vale pine
#

yes

hallow sigil
#

Seems somewhat worth

worn ivy
#

How it does this build looks with deathstalker btw ? @vale pine

vale pine
#

deathstalker looks bad in general

#

not recommended to play

#

the tier set is just way better for trickster

alpine wraith
#

i did a showcase of deathstalker aoe

#

it is not enjoyable

glass jasper
#

All i want in life is for shiv to have shorter cd, why do hunters get enrage dispel on short cd and ours is on a 400 year cd

vale pine
#

also just to be clear, dungeons might be diffrent

#

and tfd as well as pulls might make one specific talent setup better

#

so the talent build is something to test

glass jasper
#

I feel like TFD looses alot of it's value in most pugs since everyone seems to love chain-pulling

#

So you basically have it up only when vanish CD is ready

#

So I'm thinking of dropping it for m+ actually

gritty gorge
#

It should be good for dungeons with a lot of big pulls like cinderbrew, PSF or flood, right? In Theater or Workshop the tfd build should be better?!

void ocean
#

so what would be a burst rotation with nado, Im guessing flag+rupture into SoD+SD+Blades+trink+nado?

I guess it was round 15 of Guy vs. everyone else when it comes to Sin vs. Sub 😂

I 100% agree with you btw, fuu

And I'm 3k+

Luckily my guild is full of raid andies

I'd rather play with the follower dungeon tanks in 10s than the clowntanks that are queueing 10s

just do 10 13's

#

personally see more of a diff on the healer-side

haughty rose
#

is there any recommended change in playstyle with 4 set bonus?

hollow spear
#

Nope

#

@vale pine seems like Sin has caught up with Sub in ST, if Sprocket is to be believed

vale pine
#

you can compare

#

2 weeks vs. 1 day

#

single targte was a problem for both sin and sub

#

i did mention it earlier, but not everyone agrees with me on it

fallen crescent
#

Does anyone know the %chance of rolling a tert?

hollow spear
#

He's been accusing everyone of "moving the goalpoast" the last days, even though it's actually him 😄

#

First he said "sims don't matter" and pointed to WCL to show reality. Now he says that WCL doesn't matter and that it's obvious that Sub is just better for most fights.

vale pine
#

but then again, it is not a strict "this or that" discussion

#

it is nouanced

hollow spear
#

I don't disagree that Sub's kit is better for some fights, but imo Sin has now overtaken Sub on ST in "actual fights"

#

If that actually matters is a completely different argument

vale pine
#

i am happy if subtlety is better, and if it is

#

you should statistically see it

#

you can't dismiss statistics and simulations

hollow spear
#

Sin is definitely better on Cauldron, already was before the patch

vale pine
#

because it ends with no facts to back up your arguments

#

thats my opinion

hollow spear
#

Well, fuu

vale pine
#

how you use the data ofc matters, this is what is easy to discuss

hollow spear
#

I completely agree

#

You cannot just disregard statistics and say "it's obvious that X and Y is better", despite them telling a different story 😄

vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug i rather wait for 1-2 weeks and then have a meaningful discussion

hollow spear
#

I agree though that, despite Sin performing on par with Sub on Rik, Sub is most definitely the better spec on that fight

vale pine
#

because with 1 or 2 days of data

#

its hard to make a statement

hollow spear
#

True

vale pine
#

cooldown alignment is a big topic

#

and ofc niches

hollow spear
#

That will change throughout the next patches

vale pine
#

e.g. on a fight execute is extended or important especially if "holding dps" matters

#

assassianation was and sitll is the better choice

hollow spear
#

If a fight lasts 4:30, Sub will suck and Sin will shine. If it lasts 5:00, it's the other way round 😄

vale pine
#

on figths sub cooldowns align

#

or burst aoe for adds matters

#

sub can shine

#

but i don't know if i would want to argue general balance

#

based on these specific fights

hollow spear
#

Sin actually outperforms Sub on Vexie for boss damage HOLY

hollow spear
#

Nah, third more likely

vale pine
#

because for me, balance is not "who is best on the endboss"

lilac stag
#

Sub for Rik. Maybe OAB.

#

The rest don’t matter

hollow spear
#

I would say definitely OAB

#

At least for now

lilac stag
#

by the time most get there likely won’t matter

vale pine
#

i mean

#

isn't it this tier

#

you could potentially just sit rogue

lilac stag
#

yep

#

depends on your atrophic take

spark plover
#

they said they could bring a boost on the rwf ; so you can play whatever

vale pine
#

probably not wrong

#

the last boss was a dissapointment

hollow spear
#

fuu is now banned from Max's chat forever

lilac stag
#

if you enjoy the spec, play it. If you enjoy mix maxing rogue, play the best spec for the boss

#

It’s that simple

vale pine
#

the eu base was very loud about it

clear osprey
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

i did not follow the entire drama

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

About the last boss being disappointing

lilac stag
#

dumb ass preach riled up and pissy

hollow spear
#

Some used it as an excuse for Echo's loss

vale pine
#

i did not follow it much

#

but i know preach made a big video about it

hollow spear
#

I think that Echo would have lost even with double the pulls

vale pine
#

and max apperently reacted to it too

lilac stag
#

they tried something new, no boss journal. They went to soft on tuning.

vale pine
#

but its likely the same old discussion

tribal blade
#

i think it had absolutely nothing to do with echo losing, but i agree the end boss is a disappointment

#

they had the opportunity to do something cool with the secret phase

hollow spear
#

Preach had a lot of opinion with little facts, but what's new haha

vale pine
#

Max will likely say they just played better and that eu just don't like losing and needs to cope with it

spark plover
#

not even the secret phase

lilac stag
#

Liquid figuring out the entire fight was fun to watch without the journal. The mechanics just didn’t hit hard enough.

spark plover
#

it is buggy af

tribal blade
#

the preach video was hard to listen to

#

his incredible bias was kinda weird

lilac stag
#

he’s such a little bitch in that video

vale pine
#

And EU peeps will find reasons why it was dissapointing, why reset mattered, etc.

hollow spear
#

But in the end, all players in RWF have massive egos. Doesn't matter if they're in Echo or Liquid.

keen dome
#

I am sad Mythic didn't go full pacific rim with gallywix

vale pine
#

it is a very one sided discussion on both sides, always was

lilac stag
#

No one likes losing

#

Echo should have killed mugzee faster

keen dome
#

I think Liquid just played better the whole tier though. Even with all their technical issues.

mint swift
lilac stag
#

preach

tribal blade
#

NA has the argument that liquid lost many hours of prog due to ddos and power outage

hollow spear
#

They both are

#

Kinda

mint swift
#

Ah KK

hollow spear
#

haha

vale pine
#

my point

tribal blade
#

and still won

vale pine
#

both don't want to give the other sites the benefit

keen dome
#

Ye

mint swift
#

Tbh I just want one tier where a guild comes out of fucking nowhere and gets world first
And I don’t mean quality assurance

vale pine
#

but in the end the viewer was the loser

keen dome
#

Haha same, Ven

hollow spear
#

Yeah, I kinda missed the kill

keen dome
#

Even funnier if it's some werid pug group

vale pine
#

because we had no close race on the last fight

#

the climax of the tier was meh

tribal blade
keen dome
tribal blade

wihtout a vpn

#

it's madness

vale pine
#

method is the closest

#

but method did take noticable longer on e.g. the last fight

mint swift
hollow spear
#

they were closer last tier

mint swift
#

How’s it like there

vale pine
#

similarly long than limit

keen dome
tribal blade
#

but it's an interesting place, very crowded

hollow spear
#

hot take: Cauldron should have been the last boss

mint swift
#

I mean sure it’s fitting that the bodyguard is harder than the final boss
But gameplay wise nah

tribal blade
#

most expensive real estate in the world

spark plover
#

I don't think there is any ddos while a wb get pull on my server or there is more than 10 people on bandit fight

vale pine
spark plover
#

and its laggy as hell

mint swift
vale pine
#

because soo much went wrong this tier

mint swift
#

Have to sell my entire life to buy a home

vale pine
#

mugzee was mostly

keen dome
#

Yeah, that's true, Fuu.

vale pine
#

about who got the least bugs

keen dome
#

Yeah

lilac stag
#

@tribal blade we did a 10 priory with one of the liquid raiders tanking on an alt druid. Hahah 23 deaths (from their pull size) and still times it. Our 4 person guild group wasn’t prepared for mdi pulls.

vale pine
#

also nerfs did typically come to benefitial times for NA

mint swift
#

What were the mugger bugs again

hollow spear
#

I grew tired of Mugzee quite quickly

vale pine
#

NA had issues with a downtime due to power and ddos issues

hollow spear
#

which is probably why I missed the Gally kill

lilac stag
vale pine
#

and NA will always claim that the other region is actually in an advantage because they need to figure the fight out

tribal blade
#

reminds me of naohw doing a triple angel pull before the last boss of spires with a pug group

vale pine
#

and can peak at what limit is doing

#

so there is no fair discussion about the topic

#

even if limit played worse

keen dome
#

That's true, yeah. There's too many other factors

vale pine
#

the earlier reset and faster time to get to the end boss

#

gave a noticable advantage

hollow spear
#

I think Echo pissed away a potential win on OAB and Mugzee

vale pine
#

and saying this is also controbersial somehow

hollow spear
#

They would have had to be faster on those

tribal blade
#

all i know is i'm too stupid to have my own educated opinion on this matter

hollow spear
#

Should have been actually

tribal blade
#

i'm just happy for whoever wins

vale pine
#

I think of it like in league of legends

hollow spear
#

I am just hatewatching kush :^)

honest void
#

Many factors indeed

keen dome
vale pine
#

the best worlds is when we get the most amount of close games

#

not when one team stomps everyone 3-0

#

All raids should be Sepulcher

keen dome
#

haha

honest void
#

All bosses should be halondrous

hollow spear
#

talking about financially strong orgs, have y'all heard of the most recent T1 drama in LoL?

vale pine
mint swift
#

thought about this

#

the only feasable way this would happen

#

is maybe MAYBE a mid patch raid

#

So smth like crucable

hollow spear
#

yo Ven, did you actually trade your 4 buttons on Sin for 2 buttons on BM?

lilac stag
keen dome
#

I still think it'd be really unlikely, as much as I'd like it, because so many of the best players are in these specific guilds

keen dome
#

And you'd effectively need a ton of very talented people to spring up, band together, organize and then pull together for it

honest void
mint swift
#

BM rn runs a no CD build
and it added an extra button, giving us like, 5

#

And people were like

#

AAAA IT'S TOO MANY BUTTONS

#

XD

hollow spear
#

unironically?

mint swift
#

Some people yea

hollow spear
#

holy

tribal blade
#

that's fucking hilarious

honest void
#

TL is a stronger brand than echo is at the end of the day

mint swift
#

It wasn't even afully new button

vale pine
tribal blade
#

what a first world problem for BM

mint swift
#

It just replaced a CD

lilac stag
mint swift
#

Tbf, season 1 it was such a nothing button

vale pine
#

i don't know how important financial success is

honest void
vale pine
#

it seems to me not related to in game success

honest void
#

My echo lore doesn't run too deep

mint swift
#

And i was also annoyed about it but
Yknow that's more of an autism thing
I didn't mind the change, but the idea of changing is something that makes me, idk, not uspet but i can't think of the word
Like i enjoy doing the same things a lot

vale pine
#

a lot of what makes a team succeed or fail is how well its managed

mint swift
#

Getting into a routine

vale pine
#

as well as how high the human error is

mint swift
#

But the change itself is not even that bad

#

Like i didn't like the idea and i started playing it and was like

#

"Oh this is completly fine lmao"

keen dome
#

It's an interesting thing 'cos the rwf is unofficial yet official, and also unimportant to most players. it's almost a different game in places. And yet, it's such a focal point of discussion haha

vale pine
#

we watch the race because its played by humans, don't think we would watch humans try to beat ai on it

lilac stag
vale pine
#

echo can't

honest void
#

They do from what I've heard

vale pine
#

yes

#

because they can

lilac stag
mint swift
vale pine
#

fainess is not the top priority of the wfr

mint swift
#

In the end i think BM was a better choice this tier in particular

honest void
#

Tbf if ur entire life for a month is going to be balls deep in wow

mint swift
#

Cause Sub seems really fun rn

honest void
#

Might as well get some money

keen dome
#

Sub is always very fun (except when it isn't)

lilac stag
mint swift
#

But BM is like:
ranged (anti-melee season it seems)
Easy to do a ton of mechanics in raid, which helps when the overall skill of the raid is lower
Easy to play
Fun to play
And i enjoy the class fantasy
Plus collecting pets is fun

keen dome
#

I always invite a rogue or two to my pugs. This season, so far, it's primarily been Sub rerollers.

vale pine
mint swift
#

Well
I disagree!

#

I just invite what i think is good

vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug its like

mint swift
#

Like outlaw, sub, assa

#

All seem good this season

vale pine
#

we can idealize the entire thing

honest void
#

Exploit early, exploit often

mint swift
#

THIS IS A JOKE

lilac stag
vale pine
#

but both teams will abuse their position when they can

#

to win

mint swift
#

Bro what if blizzard did the shitiest thing ever

#

"To finally beat xal, you need the combined force of echo and liquid"

keen dome
#

Hahaha

mint swift
#

40 man mythic raid XD

vale pine
#

and as mentioned earlier

#

discussions will always be

#

liquid will say they played better

mint swift
#

Btw how far behind is DS in ST and AoE

lilac stag
#

I hope next tier they keep the dungeon journal dark and just up the difficultly

vale pine
#

echo will too

honest void
#

As long as it's an entertaining race idc one way or another what they do

#

Sadly this one wasn't

mint swift
#

cause i remember having a discussion with charraed as he said it was dead
And it made me realise
a dead hero tree is so much diffrent from spec to spec

vale pine
#

even if many times who played better was not the only deciding factor

hollow spear
#

I don't have any emotional investment in the whole thing

spark plover
#

more you know about rwf, more you hate
