My guild keeps telling me to play ass cause it's "better dps" but my performance on sub is beating 99.9% of ass rogues. Idk if I could beat my sub numbers as ass at all.

keen path
#

Nah tell your guild to do more damage

young mural
#

Would you mind telling me what the fuck is PRD

sullen hare
#

Personal resource display

young mural
#

Sub isnt too far behind sin

#

But also you for sure can do same damage as sin, i used to be a one trick sub, decided to test sin out and its waayy easier than sub

#

You for sure can learn it

#

But it should be your decision, and play whatever you want to

indigo steppe
#

Then they're gonna yell at you for not switching on rik lol

#

I think non rogue players have no idea how rogue works

young mural
young mural
#

Thats why I didnt even try to play sin in rik

indigo steppe
#

People always tell me in keys and stuff like oh why do you care about uptime you have your dots

#

It's like yeah my rupture gonna do crazy damage lol

young mural
#

Just went sub and held shadow dances for barrels and exploded them

indigo steppe
#

Same I pad the absolute shit out of barrels hahaha

young mural
indigo steppe
#

Sub feels so good on rik I evasion his first slam to get full opener

#

Makes me feel like a gamer

young mural
#

Yoooooo

#

Evasion works there?

indigo steppe
#

Oh no my parses are in danger hahaha

young mural
#

I wasnt aware, thought it was magic stuff

indigo steppe
#

Yeah when my guild was progging it I was like surely some experimenting can't hurt

#

I do the same thing in vault keys too lol best way to learn is just trying shit hahaha

young mural
#

Nice

young mural
#

The amount of times ive turnt on cloak and prayed is crazy

#

Might be my favorite activity

kind bluff
#

I lost my r1 myth rik parse. But yea it's a great fight once you learn the timers to be able to line up your big sectec with adds every time.

# indigo steppe I think non rogue players have no idea how rogue works

that s the most accurate thing i ve read in this discord. Guildies asking me to "just hold killing spree". Well no i just respec then i m not gonna hold killing spree. Or on gally "u need to do more damage on adds", yea sure i ll respec sub and lose all my boss damage to do p1 add damage if that s really needed, but that s the tradeoff i wont swap target as assa

limpid sage
#

What are you fellas simming on ST

indigo steppe
#

i think especially in m+ lol sometimes i have people be like yooo let the rogue restealth tank

#

and im like nah bro ur good

#

the rogue spec with the stealth icon actually doesn't benefit that much from restealth omegalul

paper iron
#

well

#

fun fact

#

sub is the one that benefit the most from restealth currently imo

#

the first dance is really really raelly good

#

but still, gaining, let s say, 5% damage on rogue instead of chaining and get everyone else more dps

#

is just slower

hazy breach
#

Well ye but first dance isnt really restealth

#

Thats the problem garf_sit

paper iron
#

i like so much whispyr command for that

#

now i can call them all bad tanks

#

even now as assa i ve many friends asking if i need to restealth and i ve to explain to everyone that s it s good qol but not gonna change my damage by more than 2%. Just gonna add 40s to the timers for fun cuz we gonna lose ignite / barrage proc / bloodbeast / boomie rotation. Like just nah dont let us restealth i beg it s not TBC it s fucking TWW now garf_sit

#

but u know, rogue shroud is op and rogue is the king of cc in their mind still

hazy breach
#

Shroud very useful YEPYEP

#

99% of all mobs see stealth

#

So its just mind soothe, except it has 3 min cd instead of 20s

indigo steppe
#

i rat TLD so hard

tepid trellis
#

let rogue have atleast some niche

hazy breach
#

Its assa only, but pretty sure iron wire is slept on

#

If it wouldnt cost dps to talent it im fairly sure it would be nerfed to the ground

#

Because being able to silence for ~17 seconds per stealth charge is insane

crystal bone
#

the silence alone is busted ye

paper iron
#

i mean i dont like shroud being op, like HAVING TO have a rogue to do a key is as bad as needing a priest to mindsooth or an aug

#

you know

crystal bone
#

then theres DR

paper iron
#

but now they just killed it way too hard

#

delete the spell already

#

so we got less prepull in raid

young mural
#

No way

#

I know what whispyr says

#

But a assassin restealth is so nutty

paper iron
#

it is not

#

it s just quality of life cuz people hate reapplying dots 1 by 1

#

and yea it s a bit more damage for you, like really tiny bit more, but at the price of all other's damage which is nuu guud

void ocean
#

what does sub get from restealth?

wide kernel
#

tfd

void ocean
#

thats not restealth, thats restealth + eternity

wide kernel
#

you're out of combat while stealthed no?

void ocean
#

you are but that time is not always obtainable

wide kernel
#

yeah its not about always having it

void ocean
#

assa mid pack vanish and voalla everyone has bleed, try doing the same as sub, vanish then run out of the pack and sit for tfd

wide kernel
#

i like to vanish when a mob is like 6% hp

#

you might not always get your tfd but at least its a decision you can make

#

and lets be real, the real reason people don't let you restealth is out of ignorance 100% of the time

void ocean
#

i mean, i get what u r saying but lets not pretend that sub with tfd restealths would turn into an unh

#

thats probably the main reason ppl dont give af

wide kernel
#

i mean it matters

void ocean
#

true

wide kernel
#

mastery from flag lasts 24 seconds? 26?

void ocean
#

difference is palpable

wide kernel
#

you can make an argument where you spend 3 dances inside of flag buff not 2 at that point

#

tfd also makes it a lot easier to not screw up your rotation

#

oh wow were a month out from being able to purchase hoc :/

void ocean
#

cant wait

#

but heroic hoc 😄

#

maybe mythic with a bit of luck

wide kernel
#

welp time to go buy mythic bandit

vale pine

#

#

paper iron
#

they pretty close, with these stats i ll go vers cuz it s cheaper, but it s probably within the marging of chaos

honest brook

#

you can get hero track from any difficulty below mythic

#

my guild is now suddenly considering CE

#

swift tinsel
#

"Heroic gear but will require the associated boss to have been defeated at least once in any difficulty to purchase Hero track gear"

keen dome
#

Oh, my bad. I missed that bit.

#

That makes it even funnier

swift tinsel
#

all good, its a bit of an odd way to iterate it

#

not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the changeup from previous dinar systems

keen dome
#

It's just more "fuck you if you don't raid mythic"

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

sales are gonna get a nice boost

keen dome
#

Yep

#

Good game, blizz

swift tinsel
#

my guild is thinking the extra upgrade tracks are going to carry us through to mythic gally

#

and pretend we didn't wipe to vexie bc of poorly handled mechanics for half an hour

paper iron
#

i mean

#

it will help

#

not about doing mecanics proprely

#

but dodging last sets of mecanics on every fight

#

which means less room for mistakes

swift tinsel
#

Lol that's why we're learning some of the heroic ones in mythic

#

our guild isn't the most mechanically-sound so their solution is usually just overgear it and don't worry

paper iron
#

it s the way of lot of guilds actually so nothing suprising

swift tinsel
#

idk its annoying when people are still figuring out how not to laser the raid in mythic cauldron

tbh the weeklies i do are funny

What's it like getting cool rare items

rough rivet
#

@vale pine could you renew the sims in your sheet pls? most of them are old and have been removed 🙂

lilac stag
#

What do you need to know?

paper iron
#

Bis profile setup i assume

rough rivet
#

yeah, thats what i wanted to know

hazy breach
#

Why

lilac stag
#

bis is useless

#

top gear sim + droptimizer

rough rivet
#

i know that. was regarding what to use catalyst on. dont want to sim 457 variations if theres a sheet that tells me what the optimal loadout would be

swift tinsel
#

there's a bunch of 'bis' setups

#

so its effectively useless

#

plus optimal is relative

#

to your gear

lilac stag
#

Catalyst is going to depend on your setup. Typically we avoid tier gloves

#

As you gain ilvl, ver, crit & mas start becoming interchangeable.

Catalyst is minimal aim
Options. Just run top gear and add the catalysts

Is there a list for Mug'Zee Jails escapes?

supple verge
#

So how much ya think a mythic OAB kill will run ya

swift tinsel
#

couple mil prob

#

idk what the rates are anymore

supple verge
#

I mean that's like the price of some shit myth boe off the AH

#

So ig if you're gonna buy anything you buy a carry for the dinar

hazy breach
#

Question is if you need to kill OAB or if gally is enough Hmm

swift tinsel
#

would be nice if it was like vault but I'm not holding my breath

rich crystal
#

Quick question, in m+, during the pull, should I focus on dotting every mob before popping SD + Symbols? Or just high prio targets
And if I should dot every mob, how many combo points should I use per Rupture cast?

alpine wraith
#

they said need to kill 3 in the same week

#

so might be some funny moments

#

of thug zee reprog

#

into not getting hall

#

for some guilds

hazy breach
#

But if its a non-flag pull then yes you'd apply rupture to most things before dancing

#

Things that arent absolute shitters

rich crystal
#

Ok gotcha, and should I just do backstab -> rupture -> backstab -> rupture, or should I dot with more point

#

On a non flag pull

swift tinsel
#

if its aoe use shuriken storm

rich crystal
#

Yeah true, I forget to use that too often

#

Thanks guys!

hazy breach
#

If theres 3 or more targets you should always storm over backstab

#

(still strike over storm though in dance)

rich crystal
#

Oh so always strike in dance?

alpine wraith
#

only storm once if you are going to bp after inside dance

#

like 7+ targets

rich crystal
#

I see

#

Tbf the difference between hc and mythic isnt very big anyway, it mostly just feels bad

lucid jackal
#

Heroic to mythic is like a 10k diff or smthing

gritty knot
#

I mean ye. I am used to it. I had HC Transmitter whole of the last season

hazy breach
#

Its like 0.3% or so ye

gritty knot
#

I just cant get myself to mythic raiding again. Too much pain

serene notch
#

@hazy breach do you plan on posting any runs this season on YouTube?

kind bluff
#

I've pugged through rik, working on stix. I need to just find a guild.

hazy breach
#

I dont currently have a team and pugging is just queue simulator even at 15s

alpine wraith
#

time to film those weekly 10s

#

so people can admire your prowess

hazy breach
#

Ima be real i kinda cba doing those as well

alpine wraith
#

i just log in and do 8 rookeries

#

log out

hazy breach
#

The only thing i would want is pacemaker for assa but ideally they just buff sub and then i probably wouldnt be using it anyway

alpine wraith
#

i got M pacemaker in vault

#

didnt even notice the diff vs drink

#

but it should be good

#

and now i sleep

slate marlin
#

What 2nd trinket you using on sub eleem?

hazy breach
#

Hc energy drink or kezan

tranquil garden
#

hc mechano core amplifier is surprisingly great according to all the sims I've done anyway

#

if you're lucky enough to get one

lilac stag
#

Mechano is like a 10k dps loss compared to energy drink

#

Can someone help me understand how damage rankings work? It’s not just highest damage order.

hazy breach
#

It goes by key level

serene notch
#

Key level then damage?

hazy breach
#

But m+ logs are also a bit weird, since your overall damage varies a lot based on what route or what party you have

serene notch
#

💯 but over a big enough sample size I think it can give you a vague idea of what your range ideally should be?

molten citrus
#

the vast majority of people doing m+ don't log their keys

serene notch
#

Yea, but without anything else it’s hard to gauge how well/bad I’m doing

#

People who log are probably a self selecting group to be sure

molten citrus
#

there's just a lot of factors that make it weird

#

you can be anywhere from like 2m to 5m overall dps

#

depending on gear/dungeon/comp/route/etc

serene notch
#

I just picked floodgate as a random example, based on my key levels I do (10s) I would be doing well if I hit 3 mill or so.

#

It’s just enjoyable to shot for something vs being absolutely crushed by a ret pally.

Hello, I have a problem. I'm with a subtlety rogue at level 70 in Dragon Flight and my equipment level is 285, very low. I'm trying to do missions to get equipment, but I can't do missions because I always die. How do I solve this?

vagrant sinew
#

you can buy green boes on AH

#

theyre not cheap, but not that expensive

#

if I press sectech outside of dance and then press dance before clones hit, do clones get damage amp?

wide kernel
# serene notch 💯 but over a big enough sample size I think it can give you a vague idea of wha...

There' a huge variance. I did a priory at 660 ilvl or so and got 3.5, but the rest of the group was cracked and we 3 chested it.

I did a priory with a good group recently and got 3.30 while massively messing up.

I did a priory after that and did really well, while everyone else in the group was sub par and got 3.30 again.

Raid buffs also account for north of 20% of your overall. There are just so many variables to account for tbh

molten citrus
dry cave
#

TW should give you decent gear drops that are level scaled no?

molten citrus
#

leveling to 80 would also make the missions easier

trail bison
#

you get like satchel gear from timewalking

#

but i forget if that stops at 70

orchid osprey
molten citrus
#

oof

orchid osprey
#

If I do the Legion dungeons, will I get better equipment?

might take a while because they aren't guaranteed drops

but you'll be able to get drops of lvl 70 gear

viral phoenix
#

what do you guys think is better on OAB sub or sin? does sub blow up on the certain ad sets matter as much anymore?

hazy breach
#

Sub does more add damage

#

Sin does more boss damage

#

Its way more likely you wipe due to lack of being able to kill the adds in time shrugeg

#

A lot of people have started opting for a different strat than what rwf used so they dont get the CC immune adds at 1:40, which was one of the main reasons to play sub on this fight, with that gone its probably kinda whatever what spec you play

orchid osprey
vagrant sinew
#

go turn in the quest you got and theres a vendor there that also sells gear

#

dont know what ilvl that gear is at lvl 70 but cant be that bad

Ok, thanks, if the team is 400 it's much better than mine.

i am the biggest genius in the world

i lost my mark flying up to the last boss in ToP because the tank pulled trash and i got in combat

#

had no vanish charges to reapply it

#

We don't do heroic main raid anymore either

tribal blade
#

when vanish comes up on the boss adds are out

wicked urchin
#

And our optional night has...10 people

#

I'm SOL boys

#

AND I FORGET TO USE AMBUSH DURING VANISH AND DON'T REAPPLY MARK

#

i'm a legit genius

shadow lance
#

Why you playing assa?

#

That's the question

tribal blade
#

i haven't done much pugging this season because i'm pushing with a team, and we're a bit behind

shadow lance
#

Not sure about it on ToP tbh

tribal blade
#

but i spent some time pugging 16s today and people have been very impressed with sin dmg

#

sin still does a lot of dam in TOP

#

not quite the best ST yeah

#

but you make up for it by destroying aoe packs

shadow lance
#

Sin damages are big, yes. Bit I don’t think I do more as sin than sub on top

tribal blade
#

i haven't play sub in a while in ToP so i can't say for sure

#

but i believe it

shadow lance
#

Maybe pug doesn't help having an objective view of it

#

Only pugging 14-15 atm

tribal blade
#

the routes people are doing now focus more on doing as little ST as possible

#

so skipping both mini bosses before xav

#

it feels like the key is going slow when you're playing sin until you get to the aoe portions of the dungeons

#

esp the wing leading up to kul

#

and you just mow it all down insanely fast

#

and make up the time there

#

not sure what it'll be like on anything higher than a 16 though

shadow lance
#

Issue with sin, is that I find it a bit boring

#

And I find pugging boring also

tribal blade
#

i think bleed sin is my favorite iteration of sin in M+ ever

shadow lance
#

And I don't have team

#

So, playing sub, doing weeklies

tribal blade
#

bleed sin right now does really good aoe

#

you can perform on par with boomys and udks

shadow lance
#

Ikr

#

Bit still boring

tribal blade
#

i beat a boomy in a 16 rookery today

#

and he said "how tf did i get beat by a rogue"

shadow lance
#

"Get good"

tribal blade
#

haha yeah actually the tank said "good rogue"

shadow lance
#

At my key level, I'm almost top meter each run

#

Playing sub or sin

#

Just people are bad

tribal blade
#

i should try playing sub again in workshop and top

#

yeah in 14-15s atm you don't exactly get stellar players

shadow lance
#

But in 16, I bet it's not every keynyou're first

tribal blade
#

seems to depend

#

but in a lot of em i am

#

this was 16 DFC today

#

that's all the screenshots i have from today

#

btw arcane funnel is fucking busted

#

"can't have sub rogue with good funnel, it breaks the game"

#

meanwhile arcane exists

shadow lance
#

Blizzard logic

tribal blade
#

sin feels mostly fine in top

#

i think workshop sin doesn't exactly feel very strong at important areas of the dungeon

#

i do want to try using sub again in both those dungeons

Anyone know what the biggest contributors to dps variance is? Trying to figure out if I've gotten worse or just giga unlucky

#

(not accounting for specific boss mechanics)

alpine wraith
#

a combination of crit sht rng and some trinket rng

tribal blade
#

i was in a 16 DFC and the MW was like "i'm at 150 ms, blizz is getting ddosed"

thankfully we only had the last part of the dungeon left to do and nobody dc'd

now you can go on to locken hell

and watch people completely unable to handle the tiniest shred of personal responsibility

OR kill the entire raid

we did decently well on princess

so long as your raid can read the WAs for the fight well it should die fast

best part was i hadn't won loot from raid in something like 2 weeks

also to a roll

i wasn't even eligible to roll on HoC

only had heroic transmitter because I switched to sin

i just want the season to be over so i can move on somewhere else

#

and i won both rolls

wicked urchin
#

cursed

tribal blade
#

but couldn't win

#

i'm at least having fun in M+

#

this season is actually pretty good

#

raid is fun too

wicked urchin
#

it's also painful losing it to someone when it's only a 0.3% dps increase for them

#

that's also great

#

or when they have farmable alternatives

#

idk what rank to shoot for when i app

tribal blade
#

my RL doesn't believe that you not having farmable alternatives is enough to give you higher priority on HoC

#

which i think is wrong

#

but what can i do

wicked urchin
#

it's 100% wrong

#

very least i'm gonna aim for top 400

#

hof would be cool but still slightly out of reach i think

#

next expac surely

tribal blade
#

i've had opportunties to go to HoF guilds but decided not to

wicked urchin
#

i work weekends so i have tons of free time

#

would be nice to do once at least

tribal blade
#

my guild has gotten a few HoFs and it is a massive rush

wicked urchin
#

i was creeping a bunch of lower hof guilds and logswise i'm sitting equal or slightly better to quite a few

#

not that that means a ton

#

im also a gamer tho

#

checking and i've only had one prog death so far

#

on cauldron lmfao

#

how often do they discount race changes?

alpine wraith
#

not often

#

but they may do one now that they need to pad the numbers

wicked urchin
#

oh

#

its literally discounted right now HAHA

#

i swear i did not see any announcement about that

#

Non-ethical subs padding hahaha

#

i mean there are no rogue bug fixes in this

alpine wraith
#

it is mandated by law that our tiet sets have to be bugged

#

unlucky

crystal bone
#

im rerolling arcane mage

alpine wraith
#

it is very fun

#

your abilities are not split in 2 3 or 6 numbers

#

for no reason

sly shore
#

DH hero talents break for a day and they are fixed

alpine wraith
#

hunters talent broke a whole evening

#

code red

#

also the mage bug with splinters was funny too

crystal bone
#

rogue bugs tho

#

we maybe fix those by accident on expansion releases

alpine wraith
#

they did go on a fixing spree once this expansion

#

our job here is done woosh

#

but first lets buff assa

#

and nerf outlaw

#

fuck them

twilit phoenix
#

Outlaw should be hardcapped at 5

alpine wraith
#

that is blizz take on us

#

also for sub just in case buff builders nerf finishers

#

oh your spec is going to have good burst with tier set

#

ahaha no

#

nerf 3 times

#

then also nerf the spec

#

but now builders have more crit dmg

vague schooner
#

what exactly is bugged about sub rogue?

alpine wraith
#

4 set more often than not decides to not apply its buff to sec tech

hazy breach
#

Not easily no

#

But it only works like 1/3 of the time

#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

You can see the spreadsheet for some more

crystal bone
#

is the log bug not on blizzard's end?

#

with carnage

hazy breach
#

It is on blizzards end yep

#

If the person logging is more than 100 yards away the game doesnt know who the clones belong too

#

So it just assigns them to nobody

vale pine
#

its a very old issue and people don't understand it

#

i had a lot of discussions around it

crystal bone
#

didnt feel it was relevant enough to add to the bug list then?

#

ahh

hazy breach
#

Probably

#

Its been a thing since sectech was implemented too garf

#

We had the issue on dathea in vault and again on ansurek

vale pine
#

it is a once per xpac, maybe twice problem

hazy breach
#

And now on carnage

vale pine
#

its only 15% dps

#

not a biggie ^^

crystal bone
hazy breach
#

Its not a bug, but the way sectech cleaves around the target so you cant hit both while theyre in the middle on carnage feels frustrating as hell to me

#

When nimble cleaves just fine

#

and spatter too

vale pine
#

you can just log yourself tho

#

so the issue is easy to fix

alpine wraith
#

dont worry it also happened in dres tagath and other bosses

vale pine
#

i am with you on cleave too, it is weird that it does not work on carnage as you would assume it does

crystal bone
#

if u had to ballpark a % damage increase if all bugs on the list were fixed, what would u guess?

hazy breach
#

I mean some of them are positive

vale pine
#

most bugs are not that bad

alpine wraith
#

the DS bugs are annoying

hazy breach
#

But the deathstalker ones are big

alpine wraith
#

but also one positive

vale pine
#

tier set bonus not working correct is probably a bigger one too

#

tfd related bugs can have dps impact

hazy breach
crystal bone
#

yea i noticed no tfd bugs on the list

alpine wraith
#

tfd is just super pasta

#

i wish you could just reset it with vanish or each x dances

#

or something

#

like a normal human though talent

#

instead of what we have

vale pine
hazy breach
#

The deathstalkers mark and darkest night ones are probably the biggest

#

If the mark bug wasnt there we could always guarantee 2 DNs per dance

vale pine
#

deathstalkers mark is 3% iiirc?

hazy breach
#

Since we can easily hold symbols+dance

#

Until we get DN

vale pine
#

oh ye, because of tier set too

crystal bone
#

ouch

hazy breach
#

Then go Dance > Strike > DN > (have 2 marks) > get another DN in dance

#

And obviously darkest night buffing eviscerate by 60% rather than by ~45% would be big too

alpine wraith
#

with tfd you might get 3 even

#

ah that one too ahaha

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

tfd is 12

hazy breach
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

hmm guess not enough

#

if only our lord and saviour MFD came from retirement

hazy breach
#

I mean maybe with blades

alpine wraith
#

sometimes i wonder what their idea for sub power in subterfuge would be

hazy breach
#

But i was mostly talking about the non-cd dances

alpine wraith
#

yea even non cd ones getting 2 DN evis would be kinda good

alpine wraith
#

dont worry you cant right now

#

just to make no double nutting allowed

tribal blade
#

it's truly the end times for sub when i come in here and it's DS sub talk

slate marlin
#

well hero talents are the only build variation sub has so

tribal blade
#

the most cursed build variation

slate marlin
#

Why

#

its only bugged, boring, has no cdr

#

But its purple

alpine wraith
#

and it has a wet fart execute part

#

you liberate some gasses to do 0.1% dmg when mob gest to 20% hp

tribal blade
#

it's hilarious that ability still does no damage

haughty mural
#

Id rather slam my head against the desk than doing DS

tribal blade
#

i would be so happy if they reworked DS

worn ivy
#

in reality i should do more overall compare to sub as outlaw

tribal blade
#

not gonna happen, but would be cool if they changed how the mark worked

worn ivy
#

but im doing more than outlaw

#

hows sims work i dunno

#

i sim 4.5 with outlaw

#

4 with sub

#

i dont get it

tribal blade
#

outlaw has quite a high skill ceiling for damage iirc

#

very common to screw up globals or miss gcds

#

which has a snowball effect on the rotation because of how the cdr works

worn ivy
#

i think it also depends on dungeon

#

there is no way outlaw beats me on ML

#

with 2 damage amp bosses

tribal blade
#

sin is also very good in ML

worn ivy
#

i dont consider that as a rogue spec

tulip gorge
#

it's funny how there is this civil war in the rogue discord

tribal blade
#

i would normally agree but the bleed build is mega fun

tulip gorge
#

where assa and outlaws players hate each other

#

while sub is just chilling in the background

tribal blade
#

haha dw most sin and outlaw players hate sub too

#

whenever sub is meta there's a collective meltdown of sin players

tulip gorge
#

they hate it when sub is the strongest spec

tribal blade
#

since sub is the arcane mage of the rogue class

#

where most people will only play it if it's the absolute meta spec

tulip gorge
#

well blizzard is doing their best to make sure assa is the best spec

tribal blade
#

yeah they really are

tulip gorge
#

they nerf sub and buffed assa at the start of the patch

#

I was actually looking forward to sub being the meta in m+

tribal blade
#

i knew it most likely wouldn't stay meta

#

even if it wasn't nerfed

#

very hard for rogue to be the pinnacle meta spec unless it's turbo broken

patent crystal
#

how much was the nerf total?

#

where would we be if they didnt nerf?

tribal blade
#

not a huge amount

tulip gorge
#

imagine if they kept the tier set stacks at 10

tribal blade
#

the issue was that people knew sub would get outscaled eventually with gear

#

so our damage at the start of the tier was kinda all front loaded

#

but apparently blizz had 0 clue that would happen

tulip gorge
#

if only blizzard could timegate nerfs just like they timegate content OMEGAKEKW

tribal blade
#

that's not the worst part

#

the worst part is they literally buffed all the underperforming raid specs last tuning

#

EXCEPT sub

#

sub was literally the 1 spec out of like what, 5-7 at the bottom that didn't get touched

weary jacinth
#

Surely next tuning right guys?

tulip gorge
#

yeah but that would mean they have to admit nerfing sub was wrong

#

and that's not going to happen

tribal blade
#

but who knows, history is very telling with blizz and sub

tulip gorge
#

next tuning we should see sub buffs

tribal blade
#

hopefully

#

but i'm not falling into the trap of expecting them 🙂

tulip gorge
#

imagine they buff black powder

#

and we have to play DS

tribal blade
tulip gorge
#

well I don't expect anything any time soon

#

MDI is going to happen soon

tribal blade
#

every time they buff BP everybody thinks we need to play DS but everyone just ends up still playing trickster haha

tulip gorge
#

if I had to guess it will just be a 2-3% aura buff

#

or maybe a buff to sec tech

tribal blade
#

this is the point at which you expect the over compensation buffs

#

i would hope

#

but we're not mage

#

so that's not happening

tulip gorge
#

nor boomkin apparently

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly

tulip gorge
#

I'm still in disbelief they kept blood beast as it is

tribal blade
#

they did "nerf" it

#

by a tiny bit haha

tulip gorge
#

that shit needs to be aoe capped

#

it's not like unholy's aoe is bad without blood beast anyway

tribal blade
#

they don't like messing with the meta too much

tulip gorge
#

unless assa is not the best rogue spec

worn ivy
#

btw in keys i start play more arround coup and 4 set i can say its not worth

tulip gorge
#

then we need emergency buffs

worn ivy
#

unless -15 sec

#

for flag

tribal blade
#

yeah it's definitely not worth overall

#

you lose a lot of dam trying to min max it

tulip gorge
#

wait so you can just send eviscerates?

#

even if you lose the tier buff before flag?

tribal blade
#

that's the only time it's worth doing rupture stuff to hold stacks

#

for solo dances it's not worth

#

but i think overall it's like neutral to rupture before flag to keep stacks or just ignore the tier set

hazy breach
tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Not really new no

tulip gorge
#

is pooling a thing now or what KEKW

hazy breach
#

No

tulip gorge
#

then what's the tech

hazy breach
#

Slightly better to just not finish when theres 10s or so left on flag

tulip gorge
#

so afk for 10 seconds?

#

why?

hazy breach
#

Not afk

#

Just dont finish

#

Its like 1 or 2 backstabs at 7

tribal blade
#

ahhhh interesting

hazy breach
#

Why not

#

You get more sht stacks, you wont lose tier

#

And the rupture is gonna get refreshed right after flag anyway

tribal blade
#

going into cds with high sht feels very good

#

makes sense

tulip gorge
#

I guess

hazy breach
#

and your flag wont be ready when youre at like 3 cp

#

Which would waste cp anyway or delay flag

tribal blade
#

that's sometimes an annoying situation yeah

#

when flag just comes off cd but you have like 2-3 CPs

was it even meta?

i dont recall it being that super amazing then

alpine wraith
#

y we kinda talk about it sometimes

#

same with holding coup

#

just some things

fallow nimbus
#

man, why aren't the log rankings updated when the log is better now? first my gally mythic firstkill log was a 87, then it's a 19 and now it's a 50 with 11.1.5

#

but the 19 is on my page

alpine wraith
#

they dont lock until after a certain time

fallow nimbus
#

yeah but they should update to the current best standing, in my opinion

#

like those 100 logs that got it because noone killed it yet then next week 1000 blasters overtake them but they still got their 100

#

it's kinda there already

viral phoenix
alpine wraith
#

yea

#

you just dont finish same as with before flag

viral phoenix
#

is it cause coup strikes like 3 times that can pop tier

alpine wraith
#

i dont remember how much you could hold but it is very comfy getting 2 coups in dance

#

nah it is mainly because of flawless

#

think like 10 secs should be fine

#

does not happen a lot

viral phoenix
#

ok so not finishing 10 seconds before flag is a small gain and not finishing while coup is up outside of dance is a gain? for both if you're holding for 10 seconds its fine but longer than that and its wrong?

dry cave
#

holding combo before flag is a dps gain for me because i only have the entire burst sequence in muscle memory, not parts veiNodders

#

click flag + no points = mental block gg

worn ivy

i dunno

i did 3mil cannot do more

warm veldt
wide kernel
livid girder
#

it feels like im losing tons of damage spreading rupture on literally every mob in a pack we are fighting, how mandatory is it to have it up on everyone? or how many targets should I keep my rupture on?

wide kernel
#

You're suppose to spread rupture until everything is grouped and then go Into dps window

livid girder
#

and if it's grouped almost instantly?

#

4-6 targets then go into dps?

warm marlin
#

depends on key level

wide kernel
#

The point of doing rupture is that's it's a dps waste to go Into cooldown windows because you won't hit everything

livid girder
#

this was in a 9, in the end it felt like I really overused it

wide kernel
#

Rupture is a dps gain outside of windows and a loss inside them

warm marlin
#

depends on your other dps, but in a 9 you are likely better off going into dance asap

#

rupture will only really be good if you can put out ruptures and then get your full cds off

#

spending 5s after grouping spreading ruptures is very bad if the pack then dies 5s before the end of your cds

wide kernel
#

In 9s sub won't do well because tanks don't know how to pull mobs

livid girder
#

alright alright

#

and one last but not least question, kind of stupid to even ask, but just to be sure

wide kernel
#

What's your overall though

livid girder
#

if there's more than 1 target, we use ss to generate combo points, right

#

1.82, was 648 ilv

wide kernel
#

What dungeon

livid girder
#

rookery

#

I died a lot, healer ignored me on like 2 - 3 packs in a row

wide kernel
#

That's fine

livid girder
#

also uhm, my trinkets are quite not optimal

#

and about the ss, is my statement correct?

wide kernel
#

I usually do it on 3 or more

livid girder
#

so below 3 its backstab primary target?

wide kernel
#

Either or tbh shuriken is also used as a gap closer if you have to move out of circles

#

Do you know to apply FW through the rotten with storm for your aoe opener

livid girder
#

I do now

wide kernel
#

Your opener looks like the one on wowhead?

livid girder
#

not quite sure

#

in a dungeon atm

#

dunno whats the one on wowhead, i checked method

wide kernel
#

A few things are wrong with it

#

The method one

#

You are not suppose to use flag with blades, blades is just before sectec because you waste premeditation.

worn ivy
#

i dont have logs aperently

wide kernel
#

Symbols isn't suppose to be chained atm. It goes symbols + dance and then dance and then symbols when sectec has 9 seconds remaining

#

The point of that is to supercharge every sectec

wide kernel
#

Secret technique

#

It's also just better because of flag ramp

livid girder
#

okay could u give me the opener rq?

hazy breach
#

!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.
livid girder
#

oh okay, thank you

worn ivy
#

@hazy breach maybe u can review when u have time

#

i would like to improve

livid girder
#

there's nothing before flag? no shadowstrike nothing?

#

or can I just get into pack with shadowstrike and follow the opener

final holly
#

You want CP before flag

hazy breach
paper iron
#

🥺

wide kernel
#

He did 3.4m on a mechagon 17

wide kernel
#

So your goal in that is a few things, SS gets you to the target and more importantly applies find weakness, 10% debuff

Rupture is free flag ramp

You go dance and symbols to crit backstab from the rotten to apply FW again which also builds a stack a danse macabre

#

Also if your numbers seem low at the start that's because sub is really hard to do well with, there's a LOT you can mess up and it's very punishing if you do

fun part is I've been a sub main the whole SL

I refuse to do keys without a shaman and a warrior

i know sham buff is big

but warrior also ?_

Bro why do people not know this

there is no sims

Monk + warrior + shaman is 18.5%

Shaman is 8% of that

In ST

worn ivy

if i get monk has to be heal

#

monk tanks are garbonzo

wide kernel
#

Yeah

#

Warrior is good though, it's much just a 4th dps

#

Vdh isn't bad btw it's like 30k or something for sub

#

But warrior is like 90k for me

worn ivy
#

than its gonna be like VDH - MW - ARMS - SUB - ELE

what about guardian tank instead of vdh

Maybe even good but idk how it holds up against dk in high keys

is it more dps or less

i dunno i remember 3%

I made a bunch of comps but I don't think I have it anymore

Arms is OK tho I just don't do 17s I'm a 13s pleb

What I will say is shaman healer is like bis shaman if survivability is a problem
