its funny how its still a common issue

lilac stag
#

I assume we have a steady flow of people getting invested in the spec for 2 months then saying screw this.

#

“how do you people live like this?!?!” omegalul

#

I run assa bleeder for the trash with garrrote. Swap to sub for the bosses. Never need to slow down for CDs.

can just play with a tank

Okay, so I actually did some testing and figured out what's happening, and it's a weird niche bug.

I had her switch to assassination to try it out, we're currently questing through pandaland and she's on a character locked to 67 while I'm on a lvl 39 evoker I started to level. I thought the change, especially without doing stealth things, would make the threat problem better.

Anyway, it didn't. We'd start a fight, she'd have aggro, she'd take a couple hits and as soon as I heal her I take all the threat. When I delt damage though, I didn't pull threat at all.

What's happening is that my healing scales to her much larger healthpool in chromie time, so when I would heal her my heals would tick for 45k vs my damage which was at only 1.8k per cast. This would mean that even with the .5x threat modifier, I'd pull threat with just my healing almost immediately.

This was all happening on top of the subtlety just droping threat when she played it as well.

Mayb cheeky buff this week ?,

Ohh is that why I seemed to be having the easiest time doing my tier 11 delves despite being very undergeared?

whens the fuu article about how dumpster sub coming out

high flint
#

i actually need to make a macro like this

worn ivy
#

my sim as assa with subtlety gear

#

and my subtlety sim

#

i start believe the d/slice sim is dogshit

#

for M+

#

coz i do like 1mil more than subtlety every key

#

even on top / ws

#

assa does more how do i sim less than ? i need explanation

short radish
#

dslice dps results shouldnt be used as a "this is how much damage I will do in a key"

#

but only as a gearing option

#

dslice results also shouldnt be compared to different specs

worn ivy
#

what u saying does not make any sense to me

#

how do i know on paper which spec does more than

short radish
#

you don't pepeGrin

#

either way

#

sub is da poop

hey - is there an option in raidbot to check my gear in "new max ilevel" settings?

alpine wraith

you can make a gearset in advanced with new ilvl

thanks!

Do you know is there a way to set kezan stacks on simulation? Let say I want to start a sim with 20 kezan stacks.

Augmentation Rogue when ?

keen dome
#

never

#

rogue tank though

wraith solstice
short radish
#

frost will be below aug next week

wraith solstice
worn ivy
#

I can beat some healers

wraith solstice
#

if you have a good run sure

final holly
#

If you're doing more damage on sin in real keys then trust that

wraith solstice
#

do not need Rocketscience to figure out sub is ass

grave shore
#

But I did smth wrong because my current sim = 2,480 not 2,411

#

But I think in average it will be ~ +170k dps

#

Try to do clearly after work from pc not smartphone

edgy socket
#

Is subtlety a spec that requires gear to feel good about DPS? Currently gearing an alt @ 620 ilvl and dps feels low. Doing the rotation from icy-vein

short radish
#

also are you talking m+

#

or raid

edgy socket
#

Talking about m+. Played mage(frost and fire) before and their "dps floor" is a bit higher than with the same gear.

short radish
#

yeah

#

sub sorta requires

#

a bit of nuance when to press buttons and what not

#

because you do 0 damage outside of cds

#

so if tank pulls 3 mobs when you send all cds

#

you do no damage

edgy socket
#

I see, so it benefits from the "common" routes in high keys rather than in +2-+4 where its just random

short radish
#

yes and no and yes

edgy socket
#

I meant, pulls are random per run

short radish
#

in low keys everything dies too fast for it to matter

#

but in higher keys, assi is also just better than sub

lilac stag
#

sub just doesn’t output high enough or consistently enough if you’re not playing around it which No one does at that key level

short radish
#

sub is the definition of: high effort mediocre reward

lilac stag
#

All to be purple

short radish
#

you know

#

i wonder how parses would change

#

if it was % against every class/spec

#

instead of just your own spec

#

like what that would do to the game/parse mentality

edgy socket
#

Damn. Still feels good to play it since its the rogue spec that feels rogue the most. Is the subtlety set a game changer? For example for frost it does not change A LOT

lilac stag
#

the form chasing would go even harder I think

short radish
#

end of the day play whats fun

#

if you enjoy sub

#

just play it

alpine wraith
#

you dont play around it unless in m+ or to plan for some special things

#

like phase changes

#

or priority adds

#

but those are calculated decisions not for optimal dps

lilac stag
#

We are doing relatively the same dps we were doing w2 of the season. Get mh weapon, get 4 piece. Everything else minimal upgrades if coming from s1.

short radish
#

yeah

alpine wraith
#

yea we are around 600 to 700k dps down from the big dogs

short radish
#

but sub feels good to play

lilac stag
#

If you’re new. Get PvP badge trinket

short radish
#

so who cares

alpine wraith
#

about to get bigger

#

so just enjoy game

#

do delves they drop good gear

#

and next week you can also get more ilvl

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

yea it will be fun

edgy socket
#

Thanks for the answers guys. Cheers

alpine wraith
#

but hey at least i can get 34k mastery now

#

so we can cry with bigger numbers

lilac stag
#

You can’t though

#

Split Sectech who cares

alpine wraith
#

well now instead of 8m it will be 9 or a bit more

#

meanwhile some specs doing our burst but for 40 secs

#

brrrrr

I‘m still rolling too

It’s fun

keen dome
#

sub 4 life

short radish
#

sub 4 lyfe

tribal blade
#

watching sub gradually go lower and lower whenever yoda makes a tier list

#

is chef's kiss

alpine wraith
#

ehehe

tribal blade
#

sub started this season as #1

short radish
#

wait really?

tribal blade
#

now it's almost last place

tribal blade
#

right when the season started

#

sub was REALLY good

short radish
#

true

#

then week -1 happened

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly haha

#

everyone got gear

#

and buffs

short radish
#

tbh even week 1

#

we were "strong"

tribal blade
#

and sub got no buffs and no scaling

short radish
#

and everyone was like sub op

#

and none of them fucking knew

tribal blade
#

haha yeah the only people who knew were in this channel

short radish
#

yup

#

im pretty sure we were dooming from w1

alpine wraith
#

even before week 1

#

i knew

tribal blade
#

yeah the dooming was already happening then i remember

alpine wraith
#

you knew

#

many knew

tribal blade
#

and everyone was right!

alpine wraith
#

at the exact moment we got baseline buff + triple nerf

#

we knew it was joever

#

had a funny tier being benched

#

whole tier

#

except 1 boss

tribal blade
#

the one thing nobody knew was coming was blizz intentionally only ignoring sub on tuning

#

because it has to be intentional

short radish
#

yeah it's to save face

#

they cant nerf a class

#

to absolute oblivion

#

then suddenly buff it again

#

otherwise they'll just look foolish and stupid

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

they did it with warrior tho

hazy breach
#

@tribal blade Ive realized something btw, DFC is a cheat death key

short radish
hazy breach
#

The only thing that feint doesnt work on is the bleeds on first boss (and the random bolts obviously)

tribal blade
#

is elusiveness not good on candle king?

alpine wraith
#

and arcane after everyone forgot

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

does base feint work on the rot dmg?

hazy breach
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

doesnt the rot ramp quite a lot

tribal blade
#

OH SHIT

alpine wraith
#

dam

tribal blade
#

ok that's so good to know

#

yeah i might just run cheat in dfc then

#

(if i can remember to run it)

leaden prairie
tribal blade
#

i'm dwarf as well so i can stoneform the bleeds on first boss

#

it's grim batol all over again

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

btw @hazy breach thoughs on going nelf

#

over dwarf

hazy breach
#

I prefer maghar for the extra trinket

#

But nelf isnt bad

tribal blade
#

that is another option too, i'm just trying to avoid going horde

#

someone in the sin channel said it's not worth going nelf

#

you can't get enough extra stealths to proc IC

#

or it's not consistent enough

leaden prairie
#

I have been mega trolling my healers

tribal blade
#

40% DR is crazy good on that boss

alpine wraith
#

that is so funny

hazy breach
leaden prairie
#

Last boss dot ?

#

And second boss?

hazy breach
#

reduced without elusiveness

tribal blade
#

can't wait to talent cheat for dfc and then forget to swap back

#

and get absolutely destroyed in other keys

leaden prairie
#

No way right

hazy breach
#

Ye

leaden prairie
#

Wtf

#

!!

#

I did like

slate marlin
#

??

#

wtf

tribal blade
#

blizz and their weird coding

leaden prairie
#

19s of these keys and I never knew

hazy breach
#

And then you have shit like cinderbrew where practically nothing gets reduced

slate marlin
#

and we are told about it 2 months after season ends

tribal blade
#

i guess hobgoblin charges

alpine wraith
#

well some of us knew

hazy breach
#

Well no i did talk about it back then too kek

alpine wraith
#

but i tell people then kinda forget afterwards

tribal blade
#

can't think of anything else lol

alpine wraith
#

didnt know about candle king th

slate marlin
#

ipa aoe right

tribal blade
#

the intermission dmg i have no idea what that is

#

but it hurts

hazy breach
#

ye ipa aoe, but not bee aoe, nor last boss aoe

tribal blade
#

can we talk about the criminally small hit box on bee boss

#

every time

#

it makes me want to throw my computer out my window

slate marlin
#

So clear aoe abilites

#

arent aoe

leaden prairie
#

I complained about that on beta

#

I remember

slate marlin
#

alright blizzard

slate marlin
tribal blade
leaden prairie
#

Right

tribal blade
#

"bro blizzard has no idea what they are doing, look at this shit game, i cannot hit this fucking boss, this is most bullshit"

#

in russian accent

leaden prairie
#

He is right tho

slate marlin
#

Its not russian accent tho

leaden prairie
#

Acro was good for the game

tribal blade
#

he is right

#

it's horrendous

slate marlin
#

its cig in mouth diff

leaden prairie
#

Made the game not shit to play

tribal blade
#

true

#

cig + sunglasses

slate marlin
#

Tbf zero is the reason i swapped to assa in df

#

i could light a cig while pooling

tribal blade
#

yeah i ran his build last season

#

i tried out all the builds and liked his the most

slate marlin
#

Assa has no pool conditions atm worth playing for

#

sadge

hazy breach
#

Workshop is the only other one where cheat could be good

slate marlin
#

i liked clipping envenoms

hazy breach
#

The only thing that it doesnt work on is the dogs, but those are def dangerous

#

So shrugeg

tribal blade
#

yeah those dogs are really scary

#

wiped on dog pull in 17 today

hazy breach
#

With the 2x massdispell+cloak angle it could be fine

alpine wraith
#

that pull is sub forte

hazy breach
#

And if you cheat there its still back up later on anyway

alpine wraith
#

cheap shot

#

the dawgs

#

and kidney

#

if only stunning secret existed

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

no sir have a dot that ticks for 3m

slate marlin
alpine wraith
#

that was the same expansion they introduced busted dragons

#

that let you cc mobs for 8 secs in aoe anyway

jaunty heath
#

Aoe kidney would’ve been lit

#

Actual useful class in keys

keen dome
#

Maybe it comes back

jaunty heath
#

But also kinda op

haughty rose
#

bruh i love this game

did my first +12 key in priory

beside 1 death from a dps the run was flawless. we pull last poss with 8 minutes left on the timer but the tank ninja pulled where everyone was still half health and hunter hit BL. we go to phase 2 and wiped shortly after because the healer couldnt keep up healing and adds were too much. the second hunter said "good job. ninja pull + BL on pull i'm out" and left the group

tribal blade
#

so your tank did an oopsie and didn't clear them first

#

we actually do that intentionally on higher keys now to get some funnel for that boss

tribal blade
#

OH

#

oh i read that as the tank ninja pulled adds into the boss

haughty rose
#

the only oopsie he did was not letting everyone go full HP after that debuff mini boss right before last boss

tribal blade
#

does it actually mess anything up going into that boss with half hp

haughty rose
#

and BL on pull from the first hunter although idk if that matters TOO much

tribal blade
#

i suppose it matters more what your healer's mana was like

tribal blade
#

also x2 hunters and 1 rogue adds should have been no issue

#

they can just kite and you can pop evasion

#

damn

#

that sucks 😦

slate marlin
#

people in low keys

#

are built different

#

u get to last boss with 17 minutes left but your healer asks for a stop for mana? better get out csnt time the key with those noobs

tribal blade
#

i helped a guildie of mine get a 13 top done today to help him get to 3k

#

he's a hunter

keen dome
#

People def freak out over the strangest key issues

#

And then like, self-select out of pretty salvagable situations

tribal blade
#

as the key is starting he asks me about lust timings, and i realize i have no idea what it'll be like for a 13

#

so i just say "not sure, we'll see where we can use it, probably on cd"

#

and then he doesn't lust 1st boss

slate marlin
#

On a 13 top just send 1st, 3rd, last boss

tribal blade
#

🙂

keen dome
#

Yeah, seems like Boss 1 is always a safe send

tribal blade
#

i think we use our first lust in the hallways going to xav

tribal blade
#

but he thought not haha

slate marlin
#

U have to bl 1st boss tho

tribal blade
#

yeah i thought it would be obvious

#

but apparently not

keen dome
#

I've done multiple 10's where like, they won't lust boss 1 but'll lust the first gladiator add or something after boss 1

tribal blade
#

craziness

keen dome
#

Lust timing on lower end is always hilarious and strange

#

Pug some of the cursed key ranges and you'll see the funniest stuff (So like, 8's or 5's)

tribal blade
#

that sounds horrible no ty

short radish
#

ever done the famed motherlode hold W strat

tribal blade
#

and get like 130% count?

short radish
slate marlin
#

I mean

keen dome
#

Yes, it's hilarious

keen dome
slate marlin
#

why would anyone care about count % on those keys

#

those tanks dont rly care about mob efficiency

keen dome
#

Because they don't have perspective or understand the game. And their pinnacle content is probably a 7

slate marlin
#

They shouldnt either

short radish
#

what is mob efficiency

#

is that needed for timing keys?

keen dome
#

Most people doing 5's or 8's don't have a clue what count is what

slate marlin
short radish
#

damn that sounds useful

slate marlin
#

hopogoblins are turbo inefficient

short radish
#

but they're in the way

#

so we must pull them

slate marlin
#

i think they give 1.7% 'count

short radish
#

this is the Way

slate marlin
#

do lot of dmg

#

have lot of hp

keen dome
#

@short radish The two ways of doing low keys

#

You either pull eveything

#

Or you skip and someone pulls everything

tribal blade
#

how is this possible

slate marlin
#

or try to emulate kira routes akd always fuck it up

tribal blade
#

what kind of psychopath did this

short radish
#

thats actually criminal lmao

tribal blade
#

it's insane

keen dome
#

Do a +5 where the tank is trying to do an MDI route but doesn't have thrash on his bars.

slate marlin
#

Its the reason u skip as many of em as u can

hazy breach
#

And they used to spawn even more adds when they died

slate marlin
#

brew is a key with a lot of mobs

#

and cant skip many of them

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Not only are they dangerous, have a lot of health and give no count

#

They also spawn in more mobs

tribal blade
#

a lot of tanks don't know the strat for where to put hobgoblins either

#

you can put them up against walls where there's los from barrels and shit

#

and then when they charge whoever gets the charge just los's

#

and they literally don't move

#

and melee keep uptime

#

everyone happy

hazy breach
#

the void diffusers in rookery also suck to fight, but atleast they give good count

short radish
#

same with lightspawn in priory

#

shit mob

#

good count

#

dunno why hobgoblin is so trash

slate marlin
#

i cant imagine what fighting the double diffuser is with no cloak

here's the tech

#

it's a gamechanger

#

hobgoblin packs become WAY easier if you do this

#

my tank showed it to us and it's by far the best tech i've seen this season

slate marlin
#

lol

#

Huge

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

i'm not sure why literally every tank when i was trying to time this on a 16 doesn't know that

slate marlin
#

im yet to play rhis week a

#

i need to finish my 16s

tribal blade
#

esp as sin watching the hobgoblin just charge a mile away with your mark on it

#

is tragedy

#

when we did this for the first time we were all doing like at least 20-30% more dmg

#

in that pull

#

because noone had to move

#

at all

lilac stag
#

you mean you don’t like them running off at your hunter 40 yards away?

slate marlin

its even better when u skip corner pull

have you tried using shadowstep?

This was maybe 4-5 weeks ago. We were just looking for vault keys end of week. It was a bear with an 11 priory so they took our group of 4. I think we had 35 deaths and still timed it with 3 minutes to spare. omegalul

#

Priest was having a panic attack 24/7

keen dome
#

Haha, damn

tribal blade
#

i think trying to time 16 cinder was one of the hardest keys to get done i have ever tried in this game

#

i did so many of them

lilac stag
# keen dome Haha, damn

It was a lot of fun looking back at it. But it’s crazy to see just how built different they are.

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I've had the pleasure of doing key content with very good players on occasion and it's always startling. The skill gap is immense and I can only imagine how much bigger it is when you get a WR1 - 3 player in

#

We had a CE tank join one of my Heroic pugs a while back and seeing how they tanked certain bosses was so incredible, too. Just the difference in movement, precision and damage compared to a typical heroic pug level tank lmao

lilac stag
#

There’s def an art to tanking and positioning.

keen dome
#

Stix with a really competent Mythic tank, haha

lilac stag
#

or just pissing off your melee

tribal blade
#

i would describe the skill bracket i'm in as good players who make a lot of mistakes

#

the barely making title cutoff crowd

keen dome
#

I like to think of myself as Above Average and Competent, but then I play with really good players and I'm just pushing random keys lmao

tribal blade
#

you're definitely above average

keen dome
#

It's also why I think the reverse is useful. Going into lower content (I.e., 5 / 8 keys. I use those as they're the unrewarding cutoff so it's the most cursed groups) can be really interesting and useful

#

My best OAB damage on Heroic is from me helping my very casual, not very good raid community try and kill him, 'cos I have to play so much better to support them.

#

(Also more add damage lmao)

#

I think Max said something similar on their podcast. Sometimes going into content that isn't as high level with worse players can be useful because you have to perform under far from optimal contexts

You can learn something at any level

young path
#

I’m just hoping for a few minor tweaks for the spec:

A change to TFD that allows it to activate upon returning to real stealth (via vanish)

Aura or set bonus buff would be nice but honestly, TFD change would probably make up for aura/set bonus buff

Make goremaws viable to be a giga priority target ability somehow

regal tinsel
#

stupid question, i notice you get clear the witness if you shadowstrike different taget during shadow dance.

is it bad to change between target to keep reapplying deathstalker mark

young path
#

Perhaps it could take cleave damage and auto funnel it back into your target

short radish
pliant topaz
#

I never got the fascination with goremaw, what’s the point? Just replace one button with another button? What problem does goremaw solve for you

short radish
sullen hare
#

Either way you shouldn't be prioritizing clear the witnesses over shadow strike damage anyway

regal tinsel
#

on 5+ target wowhead guide say it's worth pressing

hazy breach
#

You get it whenever you reapply it with strike or darkest night

vestal escarp
#

pissmaw

hazy breach
#

But deathstalker kinda weak rn

vestal escarp
#

oh no i typed it

#

better delete that

hazy breach
#

The ideal way to play the aoe rotation in dance for deathstalker is to strike > finish > storm > finish > strike a new target to proc ctw and prevent you from proccing darkest night > repeat

#

And if you happen to get a refund from shadowcraft so you do 2 finishers instead and proc darkest night

#

Cancelaura it

#

Absolute dogshit gameplay loop

regal tinsel
#

ye, darkest night being pure ST kinda cringe. technically it's not, because it gives you clear the witness

hazy breach
#

Yes but a strike does the same thing

#

Deathstalker is just designed for assa and no effort went into making it usable or fun as sub

#

Id recommend just sticking with trickster since its numerically better and actually plays well

haughty mural
hazy breach
#

I mean feint is the strong button

#

But randomly the strong button doesnt work, and then elusiveness is fine as a replacement, but unless you specifically know that you need elusiveness to survive something (like the nokhud arrows for example last expansion) its usually better to go cheat

#

Since elusiveness only works when feint doesnt, its not 40+20

#

And when feint works and when it doesnt is fairly random, but most of the time it works, even on things you might not expect

#

Like i said earlier, in DFC its only the random fireballs and the bleed on the first boss that feint doesnt work on

alpine wraith
#

also if anyone is curious you can still evasion soak mines in mug zee

short radish
#

yeah but you gotta face it correctly

alpine wraith
#

did a funny in a wipe call yday and went flying three times

#

you will still get the magic dmg

#

so have cloak or cheat

hazy breach
#

In priory its the random smites/fireballs/potshots and the beam from lightspawns

#

The beam is usually dangerous enough to warrant it but still worth keeping in mind

strange chasm
hazy breach
#

ye

alpine wraith
#

you take the magic part dmg

#

so cant soak 2 unless you have also cloak

#

at least i took a truckload of dmg

#

but didnt die on soaking 1

short radish
haughty mural
#

Thanks Eleem

#

Maybe I should use cd more then

worn ivy
#

still no sub changes?

slate marlin
#

yet

#

Still time for blue post

north schooner
#

it just takes a long time to write that post because there are so many changes

slate marlin
#

Exactly

#

spellslinger rework for mages

leaden prairie
#

I'm more concerned about the fact we had no class changes in 11.1.5 and we still have none on .7 ptr

slate marlin
#

yes its very weird

#

tere were reworks last .5

#

and theres been major chsnges in every patch

#

but this one

#

i hope they arent sacrificing class development for hekili and 1 bottom dps

swift tinsel
#

how else will the ret paladins and bm hunters get their 99's?!

slate marlin
#

one would think good fantasy and tslent diversity appealed casuals

slate marlin
#

theres like 5 weeks or so for .7

#

but god if the only thing coming this patch is thst

lilac stag
#

think how glorious it’ll be, eat your burrito and raid at the same time! Peak WoW efficiency. Nothing but purple parses on a full stomach from here on out.

slate marlin
#

purple lmfao

swift tinsel
#

resubbing brb

slate marlin
#

more like green

swift tinsel
#

peak content

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

omg say less

slate marlin
#

belt and hekili

swift tinsel
#

truly the most blessed timeline

slate marlin
#

will be so fun to play other games

lilac stag
#

I guarantee someone with 1 button will get a purple parse. Idk which spec, but someone will.

swift tinsel
#

I'm gonna spend time outside getting rid of the sub-tuning depression weight gain

alpine wraith
#

dont worry you too can enjoy

#

being last on dps

#

maybe invite another sub rogue so you can go neck and neck

slate marlin
#

if no changes happen

#

sub will be even lower

alpine wraith
#

like a disabled marathon

slate marlin
#

remember amirdrassil

swift tinsel
slate marlin
#

when wlogs didnt register clones

#

nd sub was last dps by far

fallow nimbus
#

Ridicule everyone who does less dps than the sub rogue kekw

slate marlin
#

well, that

alpine wraith
#

but hey at least we are almost at 9m secret tech

#

we may get to 10m

#

with coorruption etc

spare garnet
#

ye would be nice

#

my max tectech is 8.7 atm

glacial hinge
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
worthy relic
#

wish they would bring this back but for sectech

alpine wraith
#

was nice yea

vestal escarp
#

57

swift tinsel
#

hey that's Fatal Intent damage!

north schooner
#

sounds too strong; how about a 3% buff to perforated veins instead? starege

delicate wind
#

When’s the sub article coming out so blizz can ignore it entirely like the rest of our spec 🙂

keen dome
#

Just publish the DPS chart with Sub below aug and call it a day, imo

alpine wraith
#

you can post many charts

swift tinsel
#

just throw this one in

#

no words

#

oh and this

slate marlin
#

better the one with subt below aug

alpine wraith
#

we have many with sub below aug

round latch
alpine wraith
#

no need to post that one yea

slate marlin
#

dont worry guys

#

lorewalking coming

#

thats important too

round latch
alpine wraith
#

next week we will get the 35k mastery power spike

slate marlin
#

huge

#

still below aug

slate marlin
#

gg go next

alpine wraith
#

fighting hard to win vs tank warr inc

#

i can see it

swift tinsel
#

hey we're only bottom of the pile on 2 of the last 3 bosses

#

and on the last one we're 2nd from the bottom

random hare
#

check last week

#

not last 2 weeks

#

2 week ago aug was not buff

swift tinsel
#

presumably for the article

alpine wraith
#

yea we already talked that one is for the time the buffs came out

brittle plinth
#

Waiting for Sub one

alpine wraith
#

would be funny if the sub one was just 3 lines

brittle plinth
#

3rd line: burn after reading

swift tinsel
#

"Play something else, we're deleting it soon"

#

We'll get a hodgepodge tank spec bc people liked it in Season of Discovery

dry plank
swift tinsel
#

I mean that infographic I linked from fuu is pretty telling

#

"we don't have a plan for sub so we're just gonna let it bottom out, cya later nerds"

alpine wraith
#

likely devs were busy playing expedition 33 and poe2 and last epoch etc

#

understandable they dont look at sub

swift tinsel
#

Sin bleed build is the new hotness so rogues are good for a while

#

no need to look at anything else with the class

#

let them play with the bleedy new toys

#

put up the dev blinders

#

coast until 11.2

#

come up with good tier set for sub on ptr then destroy it a week before patch

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

tier set was like someone actually though about the spec

#

then some middle manager came

#

and looked at the graph

#

and said

#

NO

lilac stag
#

@vale pine can you make the mid season review just a haiku?

swift tinsel
#

lmao that honestly sounds right

dry plank
keen dome
#

I'd just go yeah that's fair it is the best game in recent memory

alpine wraith
#

yea or if they were like wod demo locks

#

we'd rather you not play sub

#

we would be like ok sure

#

in bfa they did the sneak

copper vapor
#

sup, do yall unbind shadowstrike for sprocketmonger

alpine wraith
#

what

copper vapor
#

well

#

to not dash on the back of the boss

alpine wraith
#

you mean shadowstep

copper vapor
#

shadowstrike

#

ah it only does it on the pull and vanish

#

whatever then

#

forgot about that garf_sit

vale pine
#

did they release it?

slate marlin
#

wait they release it whenever they want?

#

or is it shortly after u submit it

vale pine
#

every guide writer had the same deadline

#

the release shedule is decided by wowhead

slate marlin
#

guess it makes sense

vale pine
#

tho i think last time, i got at least a message before

#

but i don't think its released yet or was it?

vale pine
delicate wind
#

oh they havent released. even wowhead ignores sub existence

vale pine
#

thats why i was confused

#

but i also posed it in discord

#

they have 36? specs to cover

#

so they won't release all at once

delicate wind
#

yea just funny how they choose their order

#

wait until all the pre patch work is done and sub is untouched before they release the sub article inc

vale pine
#

blizz isn't planing more tuning to my knowlage

#

so its rly not like there is anything lost

slate marlin
#

is this sub final form then?

swift tinsel
#

I'll be quite surprised if there is any for sub before 11.2 ptr

#

likely it of the season

#

if I had to guess

keen dome
#

Yeah, I think it's likely

pliant topaz
#

woops that was 4

keen dome
#

The season is, effectively, 'done' anyway I guess.

delicate wind
#

as of today here you go

slate marlin
#

is it hard to do a 5% aura buff tho?

swift tinsel
#

but no tuning to upset that

keen dome
#

The turbo boost will carry the rest of it since it's going to bring people up in power.

slate marlin
#

cant rly be cost intensive

vale pine
keen dome
#

Yeah, and they're working on 11.1.7 so development is, I assume, fully on 11.2 and 11.2.5 so there's probably nothing much left.

#

C'est la via, is sad.

vale pine
#

what you saw the last 3 seasons is basically how legion and bfa worked

slate marlin
#

i was turbo casual bsck then

delicate wind
#

already canceled my sub (rogue and subscription)

swift tinsel
#

same

delicate wind
#

not coming back for a season buff just to get shit on again after week 1 of the new season

keen dome
#

I had a guy in Dornogal come up to me today and ask for some Sub tips. Poor guy.

swift tinsel
#

unless 11.2 is stellar idk if I'll play for a long while

delicate wind
#

even if it is stellar, they will bait and switch you for big nerfs and force you into sin again

vale pine
#

visions are very low effort content sadly

#

don't know if i rly want to spam visions

#

they are essentially 1:1 what we had in bfa but a bit easier

delicate wind
#

i am not doing visions and the belt is stupid and doesnt solve any problem

keen dome
#

I like the collectonism in WoW, achievement points, etc so it's just more of that fo rme.

#

I think the Belt is very stupid though. I don't think we need another circlet.

delicate wind
#

at least let me replace the stupid ring before i need the belt like ffs

magic ruin
pliant topaz
lilac stag
pliant topaz
#

they legit bait you every patch

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

they get max to say some stupid shit like woah 11.1 best raid ever, we tried, super good, great patch

keen dome
#

What if they give us playable ethereals in 11.2

pliant topaz
#

then patch comes out, its dogshit

#

and then he bitches and does other shit

slate marlin
#

well i hope they work on the hero talents that are trash

vale pine
#

which makes me think they won't spend more time do tuning when their tuning patches are already out

pliant topaz
#

then comes back on next blizz paycheck.

#

guys 11.2
prb best patch ever

#

then cycle repeats

keen dome
#

I wish Blizz would pay me to say stuff in WoW is cool

lilac stag
#

Enjoying it tbh

pliant topaz
#

glad youre having fun

keen dome
#

It's really good at Heroic level, too

magic ruin
#

Didn’t they do a few small tuning tweaks late season 1?

lilac stag
#

it’s easy to shit on blizzard but the renown nerfs are at a good pace. The raid itself is enjoyable. Way better than season 1.

slate marlin
#

idk this is the point of the patch were i should be excited for .7, instead i am already bored of visions and cyrcle belt

keen dome
#

We get a pseudo-enchant damage proc this reset, which is interesting.

lilac stag
#

I don’t like having to go into lfr for renown when we’re extending

swift tinsel
pliant topaz
#

its funny i actually just had this argument with my friend

#

he said its good that the dinar thing or w/e they call it doesnt give u max gear

#

one sec

pliant topaz
#

this was his argument

#

and it made me realize

#

people have been so braindwashed and gaslit by blizzard

#

that the game doesnt even need to give them anything good or meaningful

#

gatekeeping a 0.2% upgrade is a meaningful thing to them

#

actually gaslit the entire community

swift tinsel
#

Honestly thats close to a revelation I had when I played a game that had a definitive ending

lilac stag
#

it’s a bad luck protection systems. They should have changed the currency name. Every MF went to give me free gear.

swift tinsel
#

there's no moving goalposts

#

there's no chasing the smallest optimizations

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

you get resolution and it feels good

keen dome
#

It's a transient item

pliant topaz
#

its like why make a fun game, why create a reason that makes people enjoy the game and want to come back, when we can gatekeep the addiction of getting 0.x% upgrade to forcing them do farm

#

guilds (litearlly in top 50) are dropping players every single patch because people cant take the farm anymore

#

and theyre slowly waking up to the carrot and stick

#

its insane how wow manages to mindfuck you like that

meager coyote
#

rogues of the world

#

did they ufuck the shroud bug that hunters keep bitching about

keen dome
#

The actual system is a good one, if it was live with the launch of the season from the get-go. Really good idea. But the way they're doing it this season is hella stupid and a bad way to do it.

lilac stag
#

people aren’t waking up, it’s the cycle of growing up and having other responsibilities.

keen dome
#

It's also done a really good job of demonstrating how little Blizz care about the heroic-tier playerbase who can't go onto Mythic lol

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, or just shifting priorities in general

lilac stag
#

and coming to realize free time isn’t unlimited.

pliant topaz
#

idk some people ive talked to have litearlly said the gear farm chase / weekly reclears / are basically why they quit

#

like consequence lost 2 people to that this tier

vale pine
#

the problem with wow is, there is no similar universe and game to play instead

pliant topaz
#

prob best ww world

#

quit over not wanting to do farm anymore

lilac stag
#

if you only care about HoF you could push for 3 weeks out of the season and be on vacation until next season

vale pine
#

final fantasy is too diffrent to appeal to most wow players

pliant topaz
#

u gotta keep up shit for split

lilac stag
#

You don’t

pliant topaz
#

u do

lilac stag
#

You could literally use all the catchup mechanics and have something ready in a week

meager coyote
lilac stag
#

We had a BDK go from 70 to 665 in a week

keen dome
#

If you just want gear? Fucking buy it lmao

lilac stag
#

so don’t pull this you have to farm shit

meager coyote
pliant topaz
#

look at liquid, they have 20 alts, why does each alt have to have a somewhat good amount of gear

meager coyote
#

good talk now someone tell me if shroud bug is fixed

lilac stag
#

665 is 20 ilvls behind?

pliant topaz
#

idk what ilvl is now and idrc

keen dome
#

So much of the system collapses because you can just use real money to buy a token to get a boost. There's no "Oh, only those deserving get the bet items"

wispy bolt
#

685 is on Tuesday so yes it’s 20

pliant topaz
#

but theres a reason theyre not doing that

#

consequence

keen dome
#

Someone in my guild bought a Ansurek CE boost. It's meaningless outside of you personally finding meaning in doing that content

lilac stag
#

It’s uncapped tomorrow

#

So in 2 weeks you have a max ilvl toon

#

Can literally afk and come back at the end of the season

#

And it won’t fucking matter

#

unless you have to pay out for RWF in mounts

pliant topaz
#

and do the farm, the thing they hate doing anyways LMFAO

wispy bolt
#

I mean yeah I don’t understand why anyone would push keys rn. Just wait for the last week of the season and turbo run

#

Infinite power increase all the time

lilac stag
#

Who fucking cares what liquid and echo do. They’re going to degen no matter what

#

Your HoF guild doesn’t.

#

Farm the Mount. Quit

#

Resub.

pliant topaz
#

crazy how theyre not donig that but okay

wispy bolt
#

It’s hard to justify paying for this game when not raiding just puts you in a second class citizen tier. I’m not tryna deal with 20 degens on content that is easier than +18 dungeons but no one has brains or hands to clear this late in the season somehow

placid tendon
#

you think raiders would have great gear if they did no m+?

lilac stag
pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

I guess you can quit and not farm

wispy bolt
#

I’m still just mad that “bad luck protection” doesn’t extend to any useful m+ gear

lilac stag
wispy bolt
#

I need a dagger for the gilded achievement

#

I already crafted one and I don’t want to craft another

tepid trellis
#

it is fcking dumb

lilac stag
wispy bolt
#

I can craft in 2 weeks

#

Let me get it on Tuesday

#

With a dinar

pliant topaz
wispy bolt
#

“Bad luck protection”

tepid trellis
#

and we STILL HAVE TO HOLD DMG

#

like???????

#

just cuz gear every week and then every third week

#

3% dmg

#

-.-

lilac stag
#

Just go play lost ark. Come back two weeks prior to start of next season

tepid trellis
#

not allowed unfortunately

lilac stag
#

“Allowed”

pliant topaz
#

its a guild. there are rules, you cant say its okay stealthi u dont have to do this thing that all 20 people here hate doing

#

because youre a cute trash panda

#

thats not fair

#

either everyone does it

#

or no one

#

u cant just say fuck u guild im out, cya in 3 months

lilac stag
#

and everyone should do it if they’re miserable

pliant topaz
#

then guild dies

tepid trellis
#

yeh

lilac stag
#

Nah

pliant topaz
#

k

tepid trellis
#

farm is just a necessary evil

lilac stag
#

if it’s what push used to say. Guild does more outside of wow. Maybe that’s changed

median nacelle
#

send jastors if i have hoc hc and what lol... u guys sending pacemaker myth track? with dinars

lilac stag
#

So 3 hours a week or what 4 boss kills keeps guild together. Then you can bugger off

alpine wraith
#

likely going to get jastor

molten citrus
tepid trellis
#

gambling laws

#

batchest

molten citrus
#

yeah

#

but it doesn't stop them from playing gacha games HOLY

#

cs2 and lost ark? illegal.
genshin and LoL? legal.
😭

lilac stag
#

I haven’t fucked around with the extra ilvl sims yet

alpine wraith
#

heroic is 665

#

but i can get mythic

lilac stag
#

ah didn’t realize you were raiding

alpine wraith
#

i was benched almost whole tier but didnt leave kinda

#

just was a rogue sucks unlucky

uneven scarab
#

glad i went mage the start of this tier man CAUGHT

slate marlin
#

subt sucks*

uneven scarab
#

feel like the main character rn

slate marlin
#

now? the past 10 years lmfao

uneven scarab
#

i played rogue those whole 10 years man

#

Ive lived in the shadows

#

not knowing what couldve been

brave moth
#

When sub mid-expansion retrospective coming >

vale pine
#

soon™️

#

(i have no information on when they release it)

lilac stag
brave moth
#

So???? Never ?

vale pine
#

lol

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

i explained it earlier, they will roll them out slowly

swift tinsel
#

they'll probably do a few a day

brave moth
#

They will throw us 1% dmg to all spells every week for the next 2 months

#

and we will be "happy"

swift tinsel
#

lmao sure

alpine wraith
#

i mean a 4% buff would be enoug

#

to be middle of the pack at least

#

if they want to be lazy

swift tinsel
#

or

#

embrace the truly lazy

#

and give us nothing

brave moth
#

Give me 5% buff to BP and I will be happy

#

just something

swift tinsel
#

nah we get nothing

#

maybe a lil something with 11.2 but not as much as everyone else (again)

#

tasted true power on 11.1 ptr and it scared them

sullen hare
swift tinsel
plush roost
#

Backstab buffed by 2%

sullen hare
#

oh, and another 10% buff to black powder, obviously

lilac stag
#

sub rogue development at bliz hq

brave moth
#

there is no sub rogue development

#

idk if sub is lower prio than surv

fallow nimbus
#

Lowest prio, not even mentioned in any meetings

swift tinsel
#

since surv just got a pack leader rework that fits very well with their kit, I'd say they're more prio than sub

fallow nimbus
#

Removing the spec would be more attention for it than anything else

lilac stag
brave moth
#

Basically this

lilac stag
#

Hunters got a good amount of attention across the board. Basically what assa got and what outlaw and sub didn’t get.

#

It also helps being one of the most popular classes in the game.

brave moth
#

Ya lets not compare class to specs

#

But I feel like sub is good for the first few months of patch

#

and then everything else gets buffed and sub is left in the dirt

honest saddle
#

sub was ok the first few weeks of patch

#

like first 3 weeks

#

its been below average since

#

and now its the worst spec in the game

#

fucking aug does more damage than us now... AUG

lilac stag
#

You had 2 upgrades this tier. Weapon and 4pc. Everything else minimal.

delicate wind
#

And you got those week 1 and two basically

#

Then you got ilvl scaling and then the only way ur dps goes up is by raid buffs on time gating

swift tinsel
#

It was super fun watching my damage week over week increase but my position on meters drop from top 3, to top 5, to middle, to bottom third

delicate wind
#

My fav part is orange parsing to lose to green parses on other classes

lilac stag
#

When your spec discord is trying to rationalize how to get HoC when you have transmitter you know there are issues.

delicate wind
#

Oh 99 parse. Well enjoy 8th dps spot

brave moth
#

I spec ass. Do 90s 85s

#

300k more dps on ass than sub

#

NOICE

delicate wind
#

Ya and I refuse to go sin

#

Even have another sin rogue asking me when I’ll go sin so I can help him with his low parse issues

#

Like bro your green parses still more dps than my orange why care

lilac stag
#

What is there to help with? Hit envenom more

delicate wind
#

Idk I don’t play sin so I can’t help

honest saddle
#

it has 60 apm

#

or less

#

maybe 60

lilac stag
#

Less

delicate wind
#

I looked at the rotation once and was like ya seems ez idk

honest saddle
#

as long as you keep bleeds up, and you do your 1-2 min burst windows correctly, there really isnt much you can do

#

the min max is making sure you dont use thistle tea outside of cds

#

WOWWWWWWW

#

SO HARD

slate marlin
#

couple more hours for them to release blue postcopium

brave moth
teal prawn
lilac stag
#

Sub is 56 apm. Assa 52 I believe.

teal prawn
#

Anyways what do I macro HOC to

brave moth
#

I think you just have to only manage energy now

#

nothing to fuck up

honest saddle
teal prawn
#

Shiv is during cds why would you not want tea then anyways

delicate wind
#

I’m still using lfr HoC bc rng hates me and I’m stuck

void ocean
#

aaand the garbage bastard is dead, rejoice!!!!!!!!!

honest saddle
#

cant use 2 teas every cd set

#

only 1

#

so you shiv the first part

lilac stag
honest saddle
#

and shiv tea the second

teal prawn
#

Yeah i mean that isn’t gaining you any damage

honest saddle
#

yeah it does

#

its just minimal

#

since shiv gives you mastery

#

and you want that mastery to come at the end of kingsbane when its doing more dam

teal prawn
#

Kb is worth less than a darkest night envenom these days

#

That’s df stuff

#

Anyways what do I macro HOC to on sub

lilac stag
#

Blades

teal prawn
#

Kk ty

brave moth
#

and gonna replace it with mythic one in 2 days

delicate wind
#

260k gold? So you’re saying it dropped at least? I haven’t even seen it drop yet

#

No drop no vault

void ocean
#

bruh if u killed Bandit M, u dont need any more gear 😄

delicate wind
#

I haven’t done that so either I have to buy the kill or get a heroic version with dinars which I honestly don’t even have a lot of interest in. Idk how that system works. I kind of checked out lately of the new stuff

haughty rose
delicate wind
#

I mean I have to do something that involves playing the game that isn’t my 10s for the week or raid? Bc if so I’m out lol

#

Sub is expiring in like 2-3 weeks anyways

void ocean
#

sub expired in preseason mate

#

oh u mean subscription

#

nvm

keen dome
void ocean
#

😄

brave moth
#

You can do 4 lfr bosses and get HoC on HC with dinars

haughty rose
keen dome
#

Hahaha

delicate wind
keen dome
#

It's not reset yet

brave moth
#

next week

keen dome
#

Tomorrow in the US, Weds for EU iirc

brave moth
#

in 1/2 days (depends on region)

delicate wind
#

Oh okay so tomorrow I can afk 4 lfr bosses and then go buy hc hoc?

alpine wraith
#

yea

latent finch
#

You just need to afk 2 bosses if your really lazy

haughty rose
#

thats kinda... weird no?

brave moth
#

it is gucci

#

Or do 4x12s

haughty rose
#

ok then i want mythic HoC for clearing HC

#

seems fair
