Day before the patch goes live "We buffed corrupted by 3% and also Sub rogue by 200%

swift tinsel
#

"But only Fatal Intent"

#

"and also Hunt Them Down"

#

"bc fuck you"

slate marlin
#

Idk i was excited to see .5 class changes

#

not just rogue ones

vestal escarp
#

There are no class changes for this .5

lilac stag
#

we get the same toxic cycle. Late changes or incomplete changes. Something is bugged causing us to do good dmg. Nerfed for heroic parses. Wash away after getting within 10 ilvls or cap.

keen dome
#

Midnight is gonna be our expansion

wicked urchin
#

fucking massive brother

keen dome
#

also rogue legendary next patch, 100%, ethereal theme'd (it's a sword)

wicked urchin
#

i raise you this

lilac stag
#

To sit in our cottage and remember the good ole days?

keen dome
#

no, not a sword. A FIST WEAPON

wicked urchin
#

buff bp

swift tinsel
#

cantrip effect: your finishers are replaced with black powder

wicked urchin
#

rogues already have max body odor

lilac stag
#

delete shadow techniques. Free the Offhand

swift tinsel
#

your builders are replaced with black powder

wicked urchin
#

i saw that you cant delete it

vestal escarp
swift tinsel
#

You become black powder

vestal escarp
#

Mh

swift tinsel
#

that also casts dispatch at 75% effectiveness

wicked urchin
slate marlin
#

symbols removed, finishers nlw longer give energy

vestal escarp
#

!

swift tinsel
#

energy and combo points become cosmetic

#

just like sub

wicked urchin
#

somehow we joke about it but i could absolutely see blizz doing it

swift tinsel
#

you get less purple

#

somehow

slate marlin
#

Sub is now 20% less purple

wicked urchin
#

all abilities are only able to be cast during shadow dance

swift tinsel
#

for every purple, your black powder does 15% bonus damage

lilac stag
#

make sub pink

wicked urchin
#

now we can FULL afk

vestal escarp
#

Cracked Clone
SecTec has no cd in stealth and casts disparch and black powder at 75% effectivness

swift tinsel
#

Plague damage buffed by 35%

keen dome
#

Just glue void contract to the sub talent tree

wicked urchin
#

Eviscerate: Replaced with black powder

swift tinsel
#

Singular Focus now transfers 0% of your damage and 50% of your party/raid's damage

#

you also do 0% damage

swift tinsel
#

if it applies atro

#

sure

lilac stag
#

I honestly hope sub turns into gunslinger. At least the spec will get attention.

vestal escarp
#

No i meant is that the so sought after rog raid buff?

wicked urchin
#

I refuse to go back to ASS rogue

#

pls halp

lilac stag
#

reroll then

#

Assa in keys is great fun

#

Raid it’s whatever

wicked urchin
#

i have only played this rogue since bc

#

honestly assa is fun in keys i agree

#

but i do not want to play assa in raid anymore

#

at least for a tier

lilac stag
#

then don’t

wicked urchin
#

oh ye i dont really plan on it

tribal blade
#

sub is good on some fights in raid

wicked urchin
#

im gearing for it just in case

vestal escarp
#

Assa in raid is so ass atm

lilac stag
#

sub isn’t preventing you from killing anything except maybe trolling on mugzee

vestal escarp
#

Like puke inducing

tribal blade
#

sub is mvp on bandit

wicked urchin
#

i am very very drunk rn do not take anything i say even remotely seriously

tribal blade
#

quite good on stix

keen dome
#

Become a raid lead, play Sub. Use the downtime between burst to issue commands.

wicked urchin
#

i got rank 36 on our first stix kill im fucking stoked

#

my progression logs are always mediocre

vestal escarp
#

Because they lose little ST

lilac stag
#

run bleed build on it.

vestal escarp
#

And guess what? They're doing insane dmg at dynamite guys and assistants

lilac stag
#

Someone needs to take the chance

tribal blade
#

yeah sub's not the absolute best spec on bandit, but it's very good

#

for add killing

keen dome
#

For all the doom, Sub is gonna be absolutely fine for most people imo. In pugs, our bsos dam is still real good.

wicked urchin
#

i normally dont care about logs that much but im feeling its time to move up guilds next tier

#

its time

keen dome
#

Hell yeah, good luck

lilac stag
wicked urchin
#

we killed queen a week before s2 and thats honestly just way too fucking stressful for me

wicked urchin
#

i also like farm

#

for a lil bit

#

also we fucking roll on loot and thats cringe

slate marlin
#

Still miles better than dust sub imo

daring marlin
#

!ss

wicked joltBOT
strange chasm
#

everyones swapped to sin lmao

dusty totem
#

Yeah even on rik alot of peps are playing sin

#

It feels like sub is now the worst spec on all bosses even though that probably isnt true

lilac stag
#

I should have to be honest. Stayed sub for adds. Our one shaman brought their 655 evoker and I did dick all dmg to adds as sub. lol

strange chasm
#

Sin is just more chill even though sub is more fun.

lilac stag
#

Devoker just destroyed them.

dusty totem
#

It is just wild that on a fight where the cooldowns line up so good sub is still not the best

strange chasm
#

Early prog it matters because sub was the best. But now that ads don't really matter anymore because other classes just nuke them + sin buffs.

hallow grotto
#

Hello! New here sub rogue looking to improve how do I request a coach to review logs normally I would press this lil + to the left and add a thread but that doesnt seem to be an option. I picked a role in welcome and checked the rules maybe it just takes a little time?

dusty totem
#

i think it is "!log"

hallow grotto
#

!log

lilac stag
#

It’s not just me seeing it… right?

hallow grotto
#

it was definetly !log thanks Juff 😄

lilac stag
#

@hallow grotto !mistakes

hallow grotto
#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals of during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

#

Anybody else prog sprocket with transmitter. I don’t know how my brain can ever go back to a normal on use

paper iron
#

well

#

transmitter on sprocket is risky as hell

#

best thing u can do is farm pvp trinket Surebud

hallow grotto
#

question since im still trying to get house of cards should the [Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet] be tied to symbols dance or blades or flang?
and follow up question is LFR house of cards worth it vs 655 ilvl other trinkets

lilac stag
#

Yes, but sim is the answer

haughty mural
vale pine
#

and cba

#

i got heroic hoc

#

its such a game changer compared to the minigame

slate marlin
#

pvp trinket simmed roughly 4.5% worse than hoc in dslice for me

#

bit of an old sim tho, idk what it would be now

paper iron
#

hoc is probably better, pvp trink is mostly for replacing transmitter if u dont get your hands on a hoc

slate marlin
#

oh ye

autumn glade
#

I swapped off my myth transmitter to pvp trink for sprocket prog and didn't look back

slate marlin
#

wont play transmitter even if it simmed better

frank bobcat
#

oh i did transmitter all the way to the kill

#

felt like a personal challenge

autumn glade
#

fuck that

frank bobcat
#

i missed my last proc (orb spawned too close to the other team), but other than that you kinda figure it out

#

2nd proc, you need to do get it done asap to avoid the suck (worse if you are in blue team), 3rd is easy since nothing is going on, 4th is also not too bad

autumn glade
#

I don't doubt that I could've made it work but, it was worth the damage loss for the coziness

frank bobcat
#

there were definitely some sketchy moments, jumping 3x during the suck while trying to keep your rotation going is madness

autumn glade
#

yeah lol

#

I still got a purple, even without using flag on pull cause blizz is cringe and tank didn't want to wait Sadge

frank bobcat
#

why 1:30 cd isn't auto reset makes zero sense

paper iron
#

🤭

keen dome
paper iron
#

you know

rocky ocean
#

Because there are 30 daves

paper iron
#

i did the whole tindral progress

#

wihtout having CDs on pull

#

and we even killed the boss, without having CDs on pull kekdog

#

cuz if i was asking a full minute after every wipe on a potential 400+ pull bosses

frank bobcat
#

im literally at the point progging one armed where i won't press the damn buttons after pull

paper iron
#

that wasnt worth

frank bobcat
#

just sitting on cds for days because i know we aren't getting past the 2:00 minute mark atm

paper iron
#

better get people used to the fight than wasting twice more times between pulls

#

but you should press cds at 1.38 tho

#

the bombs are yours

frank bobcat
#

i hate asking for the minute and people are still dropping the ground effect in the middle of the raid, so are bombs really our problem

#

but i know our warrior and paladin are thinking they are gods atm

paper iron
#

Yea but you ll maybe hit à dps check and they ll need to do more St and so relearn everything

#

Ww sub duty

#

Somehow boomie crunching them also

frank bobcat
#

thats fair

carmine talon
#

Can anyone help me figure out how to make a weakaura that shows either backstab or shadowstrike depeding on if im in stealth or not

spark tusk
#

Trigger: Aura Stealth - Show always.

Condition: If Trigger Aura Found: Icon: Source: Manual, Icon: Manual Icon: <Icon ID>

edgy wind
#

can i use sword in off hand or will my spells not work ?

#

rerolling from outlaw

keen dome
#

Sadly not.

#

!oh

wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

keen dome
#

Gotta be double daggers.

lilac stag
#

Fuck shadow techniques.

spark plinth
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
edgy wind
#

NP i have 619 daggger from nerub ar

#

we chillin

carmine talon
keen dome
edgy wind
#

Are you dead ass ?

#

thats fkd xd

keen dome
#

OH is just a statstick for Sub, but we need it for Shadow Techniques to work properly. Without it, we lose a ton of procs so less damage.

#

Because of the attack speed.

spark tusk
# carmine talon So im braindead how do I put that in?

You're not braindead and are more capable than you think.

Create an Icon aura, go to the Trigger tab, the default trigger will always be Aura, so use that. Enter Stealth (or 1784 ) into the Spell Name field. Scroll to the Show section, there will be a dropdown for "Show On", set the dropdown to "Always".

Then, go to the Display page, find the Icon section, change the Source to "Manual Icon" and set the manual icon to Backstab's icon id

Then, go to the Conditions Tab, add new condition, from the If dropdown, select "Trigger 1 - Aura Found": True.

In the Then dropdown, select "Icon", then "Manual Icon" and specify Shadowstrike's icon ID

FIX

DEATHSTALKER WITH BLACKPOWDER

#

DO U ONLY RAID OR WHAT

#

?????????????????

paper iron
#

and buff bp by 30% also so we can unbind eviscerate

#

tyvm

glossy nexus
#

Was thinking about switching from assassin to subtlety, very new to rogue. Easier transition from assassin to sub than outlaw? Just because I've got higher end daggers already and no outlaw weapons.

slate marlin
#

so

random hare
#

blizzard

#

fix

#

and

#

buff

#

deathstlkaerr

#

for sub

#

plz

#

make

#

darkest night be consumed by blackpwoder

#

and bfuf fit for sub

#

plz

slate marlin
#

give it cdr

void ocean
#

lol yesterday I, for research purposes, went on and simmed outlaw st builds with just items recrafted and what was lying around my bag and it turns out its +180k dps... insane shit

lilac stag
#

Ah you found another 80k

void ocean
#

ye

#

it has to be a sim bait

#

right

#

RIGHT???

spark tusk
lilac stag
void ocean
#

ofc, dont u know my name from the orange

lucid jackal
#

Buff deathstalker for sub is a brand new sentence nobody has ever said before

void ocean
#

yea, if we somehow found 180k dps as sub

#

that would be nice

lucid jackal
#

Just aura buff sub 5% Baseg

void ocean
#

🧮

paper iron
#

he just wants a ds buff for the single target in key

#

somehow

lilac stag
slate marlin
#

he also said fix

#

which is true

#

ds needs a fix

lilac stag
#

You really don’t want to know the gameplay for AoE with DS

paper iron
#

that is so true

#

it goes crazy shit

hazy breach
#

Cancelaura darkest night Classic

paper iron
#

Cancelclasscreation Rogue

hazy breach
#

Or they could just fix the "cant use the mark if darkest night its up" bug so we can atleast ignore the buff in peace

paper iron
#

oh yea true that bug still arround and pisses me off in keys

#

as assa

#

i m here doing my 12s IC and i ve to throw an envenom full cp middle of it sometimes cuz i m scared and i dont wanna press vanish for fun

hallow grotto
#

in the opener when do you reapply symbol dance? when symbol fades? when dance fades? when your low on energy?

slate marlin
#

or actualy rework the tree

#

to make it interesting

hazy breach
#

Obviously that would be prefered

slate marlin
#

they are the main feature of the expansion

#

and deathstalker feels like a combination of bad trinket effects

hazy breach
#

Thats when you symbols

left ledge
#

Maybe sub rogue buff when I’m unbanned

paper iron
slate marlin
#

at least trickster is decent for sub

#

cdr is good for a spec that shouldnt rely on it haha

paper iron
#

it s decent tuning wise

slate marlin
#

fatebound is a coin

paper iron
#

it doesnt really bring any rotationnal thing

#

besides you eviscerate in low target count

slate marlin
#

it brings cdr and nimble

#

thats something

#

a lot more than what ds brings

paper iron
#

meanwhile mages got stacking hot streak balls that your pheonix uses that give you hypertermia after bust which helps u do more hot streak that brings u more bust and so more phoenix and so more hypertermia

slate marlin
#

cant compare any spec to mages tho

#

its what every developer mains

paper iron
#

or frostfire is actually cool as frost mage, you have these instant frostbolts and all that good stuff that proc and metor + comet together and all of that

#

meanwhile rogue imo is just "hey if u have DN you finish at max cp, fb u just play, trickster u have bit more sectech cdr have fun"

left ledge
#

I mean trickster did slightly change our rotation

slate marlin
#

its more like. Cry when u have dn in aoe, cry when u dont get coin 6 minutes into a fight, more sec tech

left ledge
#

Idk what more you want for sub rogue the spec has like 3 buttons

paper iron
#

last season reclears as outlaw

#

i had one pull of BBH with lucky coin like 20s after the pull

left ledge
#

Fatebound sure is boring

paper iron
#

and then rashanan i havent gotten a single coin combo kekdog

left ledge
#

But deathstalker and trickster both have rotational impact

paper iron
#

fb is boring AND depressing to track

slate marlin
#

or ret

#

or basicaly every single class

left ledge
#

What’s so much more interesting about their tree exactly

paper iron
#

frost actually have lot of buttons but not a so strict rotation

#

u mostly send cd on cd, reset cd when they re on cd, and press stuff that shine on your bar

left ledge
#

Sub rogue literally has to go through a certain sequence because of our main talents

#

Our spec tree has 0 mobility

#

You either play first dance or weaponmaster

#

And in farm

#

You’re playing first dance anyways

slate marlin
#

so?

left ledge
#

Half our tree is useless dogshit

slate marlin
#

yes

left ledge
#

That’s why our hero talents might seem bland

slate marlin
#

theres shroud roar on spec tree xd

left ledge
#

Because at our core the gameplay is repetitive

slate marlin
#

core gameplay is fun

left ledge
#

Once you learn to pilot sub rogue

#

It’s the same every time

paper iron
#

well

#

dont forget

left ledge
#

At least with trickster

paper iron
#

most of the tree is useless because of tuning

left ledge
#

You have freedom to change cd sets

slate marlin
#

having hero talents with minimal visuals or gameplay effects isnt fun

paper iron
#

that s how dead talents work

#

so they can tune up and down stuff to make us play different stuff

left ledge
#

I think most melee have minimal effects other than dk

paper iron
#

general talents are fine

#

hero talents sucks tho

#

😒

left ledge
#

Coup is fine

#

It’s a good hero talent

paper iron
#

and also yea melee have less visual talents, but also u dont wanna overlow visuals as a melee

#

it s already shit to se what s happening in there

left ledge
#

It’s a stronger evis with higher cdr

paper iron
#

if u start doing xmas tree light

#

it s over

left ledge
#

Yeah

#

And as for animations

#

They scared to give rogue anything because of dfa

paper iron
#

coup as a nice animation, i just hate the gcd lock and stuff

#

or the lock in place stuff we had

left ledge
#

Yeah and it got removed

paper iron
#

some of it got fixed tho so that s good

#

dying to coup tp on queen kekdog

left ledge
#

I actually learned to use the dash as an advantage

#

Then they removed it

#

Shadowstep is a shit ability on most bosses

#

So now I just run around like a dumbass most of the time

paper iron
#

u wanna step allies most of the time

left ledge
#

I just don’t press shadowstep

#

Most of the time

paper iron
#

stepping ennemies in most scenarios in raid is just death sentence

#

or u just walk works fine

left ledge
#

Because it’s inconsistent

#

Last time I actually had to step was last tier on queen

paper iron
#

i did some step sheningans on oab to minmax uptime

left ledge
#

For essence

paper iron
#

died once to a coin

#

i stopped

left ledge
#

Imo trickster is a good hero talent for subs current state

#

Deathstalker needs huge qol

#

And fatebound just sucks

#

Maybe if we got something more interesting than fucking goremaws bite

#

We’d have gotten better hero talents

acoustic lodge
#

Sub needs a rework since yesterday

hazy breach
#

It doesnt really need much

#

Some small things can go a long way. Like giving sectech a cool animation would, without any other change, make it way more fun to play

acoustic lodge
#

Just get rid of dark bnew and goremaw

#

I 2nd, the better/cooler animation

paper iron
#

imo the only real issue of sub is tuning, general talents and gameplay is fine. And i would not gcd lock coup it s still feel weird rn

#

but other than that, even I enjoy playiing sub. Which means a lot trust me

slate marlin
#

i dislike bp and sect animations, and clones bugging

#

and i dont think shadow dance cdr is good

#

other than that the spec is rly fun

plush roost
#

Should make dark brew a 40-45 sec cd ability so sub can have the option of a flatter profile

#

Maybe make it replace sblades

#

Just so the option is there ya know

lucid jackal
#

What needs a rework in sub

acoustic lodge
#

I would say majoirty of the dead talents in the tree

#

Death mark in itself, is just terribly designed

slate marlin
#

core gamplay is good

vale pine
#

there are a lot of meh talents, so you could absolutely rework/buff them

#

need is a strong word tho

lilac stag
#

Sub works right now because of trickster. Its base has a lot of flaws. CDR & reliance on Shaman are my biggest gripes.

paper iron
#

yea i think it s mostly tuning, but that can help balancing the class to have dead talents, that way you just buff one, nerf another one, and the spec isnt somehow doing 20% more damage than intended happy_holiday_pepe

#

and yea, i dont play sub at all ,unless rookery, without a sham now

lilac stag
#

delete shadow techniques. Free up the offhand to be whatever.

boreal umbra
#

how do you guys sim sockets ?

slate marlin
#

i dont want it deleted

#

just normalized

#

difference between having sham or not is huge

#

not only damage but gameplay wise

lilac stag
#

if it’s vault item or socket, just add a socket to an item using the great vault choice.

hazy breach
#

Just slam a mastery+vers gem and move on

boreal umbra
#

kk thought cause im at 106% mastery maybe i have to gem versa mastery

acoustic lodge
#

I mostly just want something instead of goremaw

plush roost
lilac stag
#

You may actually want crit

plush roost
#

Warning signs value

vestal escarp
#

Sht scale with haste?

boreal umbra
#

and how do u sim it then ? just stat weigts or ?

vestal escarp
#

Already

plush roost
#

Ik but more

lilac stag
plush roost
#

Require 20% haste to play your spec like those guys in outlaw

lilac stag
#

we don’t use stat weights for anything except to prove people wrong

boreal umbra
#

thx 🙂

vestal escarp
#

np

lilac stag
slate marlin
#

well i like chaining finishers

#

i like when it procs

#

its fun

lucid jackal
#

True

#

Shadowcraft is sick

slate marlin
lucid jackal
#

It just needs to be higher baseline. And text that says "does not work with windfury"

#

This text exists on multiple talents already so

slate marlin
#

ye

sullen hare
#

No we're not allowed to have nice things

slate marlin
#

shouldnt rely as much on shaman

lilac stag
#

At all

#

Same minimal buff others get. Not 10% or whatever it’s at currently

lucid jackal
#

But yeah idk

#

I love the gameplay of rogue rn

lilac stag
#

DS sub is not good imo.
Trickster is fun.
Outlaw minus 15 second KS is fun.
Assa keys is fun.
Assa raid is… Assa.

round latch
#

DS Sub need a lil touch here and there,its not that far off

#

can be so damn good

#

but i hope they buff outlaw

lilac stag
#

The AOe is awful

round latch
#

yeah.

lilac stag
#

Actually cursed gameplay

#

That’s not a little touch up

round latch
#

yeah actually outlaw lvl of stupidity

lilac stag
#

if tricky outlaw was anything but KS I think a lot more would be playing it.

round latch
#

i think if anything they had to add the nimble flurry mechanic to sub in general

#

like on the general tree

#

move around couple of nodes

lucid jackal
#

Assa in raid is boring but it's fine, it's sin

#

But yeah I mean

#

There's some issues on the edges for rogue

round latch
#

yup it does

lucid jackal
#

This is the first tier in awhile where playing any rogue spec feels fun

#

Imo

round latch
#

outlaw feels atrocious idk what u find fun in the pirate

hazy breach
#

My main gripe with raid sin isnt really the gameplay per se, its that you literally cant do anything besides hit boss effectively

round latch
#

but whatever,who am i to say otherwise

hazy breach
#

Whereas after playing some bleed in keys it feels like you have way more tools to handle stuff like adds spawning and/or needing burst on them

round latch
#

idk personally for me,after playing mage i realized we are just coping hard here

#

that class is extreme

#

idk how blizzard can let a kit like that exist

lilac stag
lilac stag
lilac stag
#

and that’s ok. You need some diehards for each class/spec

round latch
#

after all those years i think i should have picked a class that doesnt require brainpower man

lilac stag
#

when it stops being fun this go around I’m just gonna be done. The alts just never have the same attachment.

round latch
#

yup

lilac stag
#

sadly there’s a lot of history

#

I envy people that can swap around every tier

round latch
#

yeah,same

#

im trying to test new stuff but i always wanna log the rogue

#

im addicted to the class

#

idk

lilac stag
#

probably a lot less mental fatigue dwelling on what you can’t do

#

but hey, we’ve got atrophic. kekdog

round latch
#

meanwhile mage manipulates time

#

we got atrophic thoough

lilac stag
#

and speed shroud

#

We alter hidden time

round latch
#

😂

lilac stag
#

until the mages attack the second to last pack in workshop

#

Then you rage

round latch
#

second to last pack in WS

#

OH

#

lol

lilac stag
#

mmhm

#

Followed by a blink into the last pack

round latch
#

yeah i dont keep names lately but that is punishable by ganking until altf4

solar geode
#

is it true that mages and rogues are all the same

keen dome
#

Mage didn't lose as much when Dalaran was destroyed, imo. Rogues suffered more

round latch
#

if anyone has jaina's number i want it

#

need to offer emotional support

#

lul

#

(by jaina i mean the voice actor behind her)

solar geode
#

laura bailey what a great voice actor

round latch
#

she's a babe

solar geode
#

uhh anyway

#

i gotta admit its super nice playing a spec that only uses 1 hero talent

#

i feel like thats a big failing of hero talents is that it feels nice to not have to switch

vestal escarp
#

switching shouldnt be discouraging or detrimental

#

otherwise it's bad design

acoustic lodge
#

I know this may sounds crazy but I wish they'd add the banshee's blight dot as a talent for sub

honest saddle
#

who's optimistic about class balance changes this afternoon?

#

kekw

#

maybe sub wont be 250k behind everyone else on st?

CT 3% to sin pls

honest saddle
#

agreed, sin 5% honestly

vestal escarp
#

5% ? id take that sir

acoustic lodge
#

I wish thye'd undo the 55 Sectech nerf

honest saddle
#

they need to undo the tier changes they made

#

but they wont

#

we need ST help badly

#

like BAD

#

we need literally 10% across the board

vestal escarp
#

you can cross your fingers for next alpha beta cycle

honest saddle
#

maybe after the trilogy saga?

#

it's crazy that 10% sub buff is actually the right number

lucid jackal
acoustic lodge
#

I'm convinced the game hates sub. Why pay money for a developer when everyone plays ret

lucid jackal
#

But yeah, sin kinds boring

honest saddle
#

just push a 10% sub aura, game fixed

lucid jackal
#

Yeah the Devs hate sub it was only the best prog spec for 3 seasons in a row

acoustic lodge
#

I will pay Stealth to be dev

vestal escarp
honest saddle
#

it literally is 10% to be competitive with other specs. It sounds hyperbolistic, but it's not.

lucid jackal
#

Well in amirdrasil it stayed the best spec the entire time, same with nerubar tnqh

#

10% buff would be absurd LOL

honest saddle
#

you forget in amirdrasil assassination was goated until the nerfs

#

like broken good

lucid jackal
#

Sin wasn't good on tindral or smolderon

#

Even pre Nerf

honest saddle
#

thats timings

#

not tuning

lucid jackal
#

Specs don't exist in a simc vacuum

#

Specs are only as good as the context they exist within

honest saddle
#

you think blizzard is aware when they make smolderon that sub is gonna be broken on it

#

I doubt it

lucid jackal
#

?

vestal escarp
lucid jackal
#

What does that have to do with anything

honest saddle
#

coincidence and luck doesnt mean blizz likes sub

vestal escarp
#

esp since shield was broken at last sec

lucid jackal
#

Okay so what about nerubar

#

It's just victim complex

honest saddle
#

I mean again, council just has good sub timings

#

ovinaxx sub was unplayable

#

and queen, sub was trash

lucid jackal
#

..?

#

What

honest saddle
#

all 3 specs were trash

lucid jackal
#

Sub was the best queen spec

#

For rogue

#

And it was very good

honest saddle
#

no it wasnt

#

it was terrible

lucid jackal
#

LOL

#

Ok

#

Whatever you say

honest saddle

if the rogue buff didnt exist

#

exile wouldnt have been in

it's true.

lucid jackal

Who is he

honest saddle

exile.

skill issue

honest saddle

you wanna talk about prog, lets talk about prog

hazy breach

Sub carried first platform and did top5 boss damage

twilit phoenix
#

simc damage > real world damage

uneven scarab
#

P1 sub was literally best spec

twilit phoenix
#

everyone knows this

lucid jackal
#

Why would I look at just exiles overall dps on a fight to say if a spec is good

uneven scarab
#

In the game

lucid jackal
#

Like what are u talking about

honest saddle
#

p1 doesnt matter.

uneven scarab
#

????

lucid jackal
#

Dude OMEGALUL

honest saddle
#

it was free

uneven scarab
#

How does it not matter

#

It was free bc of sub rogue

lucid jackal
#

You needed a spec to break webs, sub broke webs

honest saddle
#

you act like some other class couldnt have gone in and dont the same thing

lucid jackal
#

Sub also solod first platform

uneven scarab
#

Not as well as sub did

#

So yes

twilit phoenix
lucid jackal

This isn't bait

This is your brain on victimhood

vestal escarp

vegeku OUR FUARKING HERO

uneven scarab
honest saddle
#

the truth is, that if atroph didnt exist, sub wouldnt have been in the fight

lilac stag
#

I’d prefer the spec to not only be goated for hof raiders and have a general better bit of longevity as everyone gains ilvl.

Dust was fing amazing. It’s gone. I miss it.

honest saddle
#

and thats the truth

uneven scarab
#

Dude

Idk if that helps you sleep at night

That is the most far thing from the truth

twilit phoenix
# lucid jackal This is your brain on victimhood

Interviewer: how would you describe outlaw discord?

Ryukage: Well since outlaw is bullied by blizzard, the specs entire history is based on oppression. Outlaw players generally theorize how to make the spec better.

Blizzard: Fuck outlaw, here use killingspree as a main finisher for tww S2.****

lucid jackal
#

Here's what sub did on queen

#

It solod a web set, which was required
It solod platform 1 which was required.
It did great boss damage in p3

lilac stag
#

Sub filled a void most specs had nothing for

honest saddle
#

It solod a web set, which was required: hunters did it better

#

It solod platform 1 which was required.: mages did it better

hazy breach
#

No shot

uneven scarab
#

i give up already

vestal escarp
uneven scarab
#

You heard it here first sub is brought for atro

#

the worst raid buff to exist

lilac stag
#

At some point you actually have to look at prog logs and not top 100

honest saddle
#

hence why rogue wasnt in any fight this tier that didnt need atroph.

hazy breach
#

You seriously mean to tell me the BM hunters without beast cleave out damaged you on webs

lilac stag
#

fuck

#

Dead

honest saddle
#

we had survival hunters

#

and they crushed

#

p1

#

I cant speak for liquid or echos web dam, it very well may have been sub, but the idea that without sub it would have been an issue just holds no water

#

it wasn't necessary

#

so the idea that were good at something, means nothing, if it doesnt matter

lucid jackal
#

HUNTER SOLOED WEB SET?!

#

Survival OMEGALUL

honest saddle
#

I really don't think the idea that were good at killing webs, or good on platform 1 but 14th in dps is the place we want to stick our flag in the ground and say SEE, were good.

lucid jackal
#

Idk how to say this in a not rude way

#

But looking at details to evaluate how good a spec is, is fucking stupid

hazy breach
lucid jackal
#

Like beyond stupid

uneven scarab
#

We were really good in p1 queen

#

Boss dps

#

Webs

#

All of it

#

literally may have been the best p1 spec

#

u cant just judge something because you looked at it on details

lilac stag
#

we were so good they had me swap off fury back to sub.

honest saddle
#

exile himself

#

said

#

after the kill

#

sub is bad

uneven scarab
#

Poe player

vestal escarp
#

up on melancholy hill there's a plastic tree

lucid jackal
#

Oh okay one player said it's bad gg

#

Guess it's bad

lilac stag
#

Why am I tempted to ping exile

uneven scarab
#

do it so i can flame him

honest saddle
#

dude, you can look the message up

#

he typed it here

lucid jackal
#

Why should I care

uneven scarab
#

Tell him to go back to poe

lilac stag
#

You are the one stating it. You provide the proof and the context

lucid jackal
#

His guild also killed the boss with what

#

Double fury double fdk

#

His guild doesn't need web damage at the time

#

Most guilds don't omega class stack

#

So when rogue can do a job, maybe slightly worse, it's chill

lilac stag
#

context always matters

#

for guy sub goated this tier. For me, when shit is dead, assa pumping harder. Different raiding while still raiding mythic.

lucid jackal
#

Yeah i mean

#

Idk

#

Rogue is like, good enough this tier

#

Hard carries mugzee too

warm marlin
#

sub felt very strong on rik and bandit

solar geode
lilac stag
#

trying to save CDs for Rik and your 655 Dev evoker alt deletes them, I should just played assa

warm marlin
#

and assa very good on mugzee

uneven scarab
#

Im playing mage this tier cuz we didnt have a single one

#

I want to come back

vale pine
#

the gap between sin and sub/outlaw on mugzee is quite big

#

i would argue the gap between specs on other fights isn't

#

gally is probably sub favored

vestal escarp
#

so fare sure but it's not a given

lilac stag
#

and that may change as raid buffs keep adding up

lucid jackal
#

Gally it legit doesn't matter boss is sub 80 pulls

vestal escarp
#

as gear gets better and some nerfs start to roll in

lucid jackal
#

Sin is the best spec on mugzee not close

honest saddle
lucid jackal
#

It's one of the best specs in the entire game on the fight

#

Idk what point this proves

solar geode
#

i thought you were talking about the current raid

lilac stag
#

Had to do mechanics. Rogue suck because class stacked. Shocker.

lucid jackal
#

Didn't know u were in the rwf either

solar geode
#

oh im illiterate

honest saddle
#

you guys jump down my throat for an OPINION, an opinion

#

and you ego

#

then you move the goal post

lucid jackal
#

Who's ego?

honest saddle
#

and say I do

lilac stag
#

We already said it was class stacked. omegalul

vale pine
#

can we not fight over whatever the opinion diffrence here is ^^

lucid jackal
#

I can disagree with exile. I've disagreed with top players many times before

lilac stag
#

just bring up Iris vs bote

lucid jackal
#

When u aren't class stacking, which 99.99% of the player base physically cannot do

#

Sub on queen can solve problems

acoustic lodge
#

Tbh, we all need to reroll to hunters

honest saddle
#

sure it can, that doesn't mean that's where I want my class to be to be "good".

uneven scarab
#

Id rather be good than broken

vale pine
#

DH or regular Hunters?

lilac stag
#

each of the specs has some pain points but I can basically do whatever we need as a late tier CE guild to fill a dps need

lucid jackal
#

"late Ce guilds"

hazy breach
#

I think your definition of the word "good" is closer to what i'd consider "best"

lucid jackal
#

You mean anybody outside of top 10 world raiding OMEGALUL

honest saddle
#

I mean I don't wanna be 10% behind everyone on ST.

lucid jackal
#

You aren't

lilac stag
#

We prog slow so I won’t make assumptions. HoF I think you probably had 1 boss to swap off sub.

hazy breach
#

But also the raid isnt ST

honest saddle
#

I mean, we literally are 10% off on ST?

solar geode
#

doesn't ansurek have a bunch of bits with adds

lucid jackal
#

That would be relevant if the raid was all st

#

Good thing it's not

acoustic lodge
honest saddle
#

I said were 10% off St, you say we aren't, I say we literally are, you say good thing its not all ST

#

do you see the issue here?

lucid jackal
#

I don't even think it's 10% worse on st

honest saddle
#

why dont you just look

#

it is

#

its almost exactly 10%

lucid jackal
#

Ok

solar geode
#

who cares about whether or not a spec is good just do damage lol

acoustic lodge
#

Right now, I'm sitting at 662 ilvl on my rogue. Sub ST is higher than my sin. Could be a trinket issue bc I have shit trinkets

vale pine
#

it is why ease of use also matters

#

if something is hard to perform on, you will lose players

acoustic lodge
#

Is that why everyone plays enhance or ret?

#

everyone is very vague I know

vale pine
#

ret is basically 2 things

warm marlin
#

grouping enh with ret is wild

vale pine
#

its extremely simple, they simplified it to the degree my gf stopped playing it because it became too simple for her

#

and thats hard to do

frank bobcat
#

honestly sub is extremely simple right now

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

and it is the typically knight fantasy people search for

lucid jackal
#

Just broadly speaking

#

Ret is also very easy

#

Ret is also fun

acoustic lodge
#

I feel like both are simple too play and have biiger pop size than rogue

lucid jackal
#

That's really all there is to it

honest saddle
#

is paladin popular in other games as well?

#

I bet it is

lucid jackal
#

Ya

solar geode
#

yes

bleak night
lucid jackal
#

It's all ppl ask about in both D4 and Poe rn lol

solar geode
#

it's also super popular in non-competitive games/crowds

vale pine
#

ret got a lot of work put into the rework

acoustic lodge
#

I mean, they basically dumbed down UH to match ret lol

vale pine
#

and buttons are satisfying to press

#

basically, if you want to make the argument

spark tusk
vale pine
#

each class coult be a lot better if more dev time would flow into it

honest saddle
#

I mean if were playing a game as heroes, ret is kind of captain america, or superman... so it makes sense

lucid jackal
#

Ya

#

It's like, the definition of "good guy"

spark tusk
#

And be usre to disable swipe on display tab too

lucid jackal
#

Even pre rework

#

Reg was always popular

#

It's just since the rework, ret is competitive

acoustic lodge
#

The animations are solid too

lucid jackal
#

Not the best. But it's aight

bleak night

it was kind of terrible for a decade and was still popular yeah

#

people really seem to like hunters too, it's high pop I think

rogue stealth used to be a real draw for people - where is stealth relevant anymore?

solar geode
#

honestly it kinda surprises me how relatively unpopular rogue is in wow compared to other things

lilac stag
#

why?

bleak night
#

i mean off the top of my head

keen dome
#

Stealth is great for the open world. Maximum lazy.

uneven scarab
#

Rogues animations are super lackluster

bleak night
#

rogue/ninja are two of the least played classes in the two most played mmos

#

in wow and ffxiv

frank bobcat
#

when the game was more open world focused, you are right, stealth was goated

bleak night
#

i think its just not a flashy archetype

lilac stag
#

We don’t get a lot of focus, our animations are non-existent and our actual utility is not necessarily needed in a lot of content.

bleak night
#

people arent drawnt o it

uneven scarab
solar geode
#

i feel like the lone wolf sneak attack agile guy is an archetype that attracts alot of edgelords people

lilac stag
#

If you made void princess a rogue spec with the animations, people would play it

hazy breach
#

People try to do a delve on rogue and then compare it to doing a delve on a pala or dh

keen dome
#

the solution is give us Ky'veza animations

hazy breach
#

And then you go play not-rogue

uneven scarab
#

Truth

honest saddle
#

I had the original wow pc game, like original from 2004, and it had a book that told about the classes, and it said rogue did big dam, so I rolled it.

It also said shamans were capable of off-tanking and thats why they had shields so... I dunno.

Delve as Sub is pretty great 'cos there's never a rush

vale pine
#

*games

keen dome
#

The only time it gets awful is when a certain dwarf decides to pull more

vale pine
#

the problem with mmo's is the devs typically don't allow anything to stand out

#

so e.g. for wow

#

they build rogue as a "glass cannon"

uneven scarab
#

so epic

vale pine
#

but tuned the damage down to do the same as everything else

solar geode
#

yeah thats true it kind of makes it hard to fufill the lone wolf fantasy when you gotta sit around with 19-29 other guys

vale pine
#

defeating the purpose and only keeping the downsites

uneven scarab

Its not even a glass cannon anymore either

#

rogue pretty tanky

in raid or mythic+ ye

but any solo content, rogue isn't rly great

glacial orbit
honest saddle
#

were really really bad at rot damage in raid

glacial orbit
#

rogue is one of the most popular classes in games in general

honest saddle
#

like really bad

vale pine

which is the opposite of how rogue archetypes work in e.g. arpgs

lucid jackal
#

Rogue is not popular in mmos in general

#

Isn't rogue unpopular in lark as well

#

we do way less self healing than most, so if we cant feint it or cloak it or evasion it, were nearly the worst

do you just stack mastery and crit as high as you can with bleed build sin?

keen dome

Feels fun to play too, minus the boss damage

Yeah bleeds are always fun on assa

when they are tuned well

uneven scarab
#

typical rogue right there

#

smhh

keen dome
#

I think the specs having different niches is neat, though. Like, Sub being mondo big boy boss damage and Assa having this crazy good AoE is neat. It's just only one of those is really a thing right now.

#

Still love Sub though. Love the first boss of ToP as Sub.

Quick question about the supercharger talents. It says the finisher does dmg as it is +2CP so when I dot 7CP finisher and I have supercharged CP, the finished does dmg as if it is at 9CP and it reduces 9 second of Shadow dance yes ?

#

and does this mean I should try to use supercharged cp always at 7cp

You just play normally, the only thing is that you always want sectech to be supercharged

So use symbols when sectech has less than 10s left of its cd Surebud

that also has execute because why not

there are other tiers that are like that

they just didnt like dmg profile

although they did nerf the other tiers too

are these raid tuning or?

general pve tuning

i dont undersant warlocks and WW buffs but buffing classes whicha re on top seems weird

because oracle disc was more of a pvp and m+ thing

cuz all i see is buffing already really good m+ classes

lucid jackal

They buffed wws bad hero talent

alpine wraith

the ww buff is for the hero talent no one plays

It's a 0% buff unless they swap hero talents

lock buffs? frost arcane buffs? Ele buffs? where is rogue in that?
