U should just play the OP easy one; sin, and then swap to different specs 4fun later if bored

#

@vale pine , great read and hopefully breaks through to the dev team. Just wanted to say thanks!

sacred yarrow
#

it did read exactly as a letter to the devs, like asking "dudes whats going on??"
loved it awebongocat

alpine wraith
#

dude where is my car?

#

where the car is sub

#

and it is just forgotten midway of the movie

#

to fight with aliens(buff sin)

sacred yarrow
#

and then?

brittle plinth
lucid jackal
#

Only issue I have with it is the framing that sub has been bad for an extended period of time

sacred yarrow
#

we gotta pull our own leg when we can

lucid jackal
#

I disagree because how are we suppose to get actual solutions when we are inventing the problems as well

where's the article? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Dumpster fire but cool theme and fun to play

Perfect

who is lappland

#

that comment has to be a troll post

#

"I find fuu completely missed the point" then proceeds to poorly reword what fuu said in the article with some sprinkles of their hatred for energy for whatever reason

lucid jackal
#

The wowhead comments are very unique

left ledge
#

how do they spend that much time writing that up

#

but not read

tepid trellis
#

tbf id be down to remove energy from sub to add some unique resource

#

fck it we ball

lucid jackal
#

Yeah maybe make it purple

#

cant be worse than it is

yeah

lucid jackal

and call it darkness

#

Its just wrong to say the spec has been weak for muiltiple seasons

#

This is the weakest the spec has been since BFA

left ledge
lucid jackal
#

All of SL it was the best prog spec, I'd say straight up all of DF it was the best prog spec

tepid trellis
lucid jackal
#

In nerubar, it was the best prog spec

void ocean
lucid jackal
#

Sub genuinly hasn't been this weak in over 5 years

left ledge
#

i will refrain from letting my imagination run wild with these new ideas for sub rogue

#

for one simple reason

void ocean
#

Castle Nathria all over

left ledge
#

we will never actually get any of that

tepid trellis
#

xD

left ledge
#

ill be happy if they just finish the spec

lucid jackal
#

Even the specs getting the most attention aren't getting discord fan fiction

left ledge
#

sub is a spec of doom and desperation in times like these

tepid trellis

buff sub by 10%

#

nerf outlaw by 5

we would be about ww sims

surely thats okay

meanwhile devoker

#

simming 3.3m

#

while i sim 2.5

#

hmm

hazy breach
#

Max MM log on sprocket is 3.731M and max sub log on sprocket is 2.691M garf

alpine wraith

hmm

#

tbh mm can omegahighroll but it is still silly

#

sub can omegahighroll but not in a good way

kekw

#

gotta love tier set when i see 9m 7.8 m sec tech

#

1.2 dmg to the nether

#

wooshg

keen dome
#

more purple = gooder

#

they call it gloomblade because we're all.. gloomy. 2ez

lucid jackal
#

Yeah remember how well recieved night blade was PEPW

keen dome
#

They call it the nightblade because you say goodnight and log off?

alpine wraith
#

because it lasted 10 secs less than rupture

#

because fuck you

#

because dmg "scaled" with cp

#

then decided to just do away with that

#

and then it was just worse rupture

keen dome
#

I didn't have any critical thought on Nightblade. I'm sure if I had it now I'd have strong opinions

alpine wraith
#

think rupture but it lasts 18 secs

#

instead of 30+

worldly portal
keen dome
#

Yeah I recall the ability during Legion? but I just don't remember having a strong opinion on it haha

alpine wraith
#

you spammed it kinda in bfa because of NV but in legion it was tedious

#

well the nightold set was so strong

#

it had to be nerfed

#

because of +10 secs to nightblade

keen dome
#

Ye I remember that and us wanting to do 2/2 for a while in Tomb, right?

alpine wraith
#

you could 2/2 in antorus

#

if you had a good enough TF

keen dome
#

Oh yeah, right

alpine wraith
#

skipping tomb set altogether

#

i was so close i got good TF gloves

#

but i never procced another on any piece

#

even saved them

#

but it was pants it seems not gloves

#

btw the 4 set was 100%

#

but got nerfed to 30%

#

KEKW

keen dome
#

What a time to be a Sub rogue

lucid jackal
alpine wraith
#

ah wait i remember you also could get 2 set or 4 set of other things

#

because tier could also go on cloak etc

#

so you could go 2/2/2 or 2/4

my rogue wishlist:

  • bring back DFA for pve
  • smoke bomb
  • if we vanish in the overworld, have enemies stiill aggroed for a few seconds (like the - enemies are aggroed to an invisible entity so maybe i can still do crackshot on outlaw)
  • shadow dance on a toggle ๐Ÿ˜ฆ i hate blowing the cds on one mob in the overworld and then now im just sitting awkwardly with a few seconds of SD. Kinda like the DVA defense matrix change they did
keen dome
#

Smoke bomb ๐Ÿ™

worldly portal
lucid jackal
#

You are willing to deal with the baggage of actually playing DFA..?

#

Did u play legion at all?

void ocean
#

u cant even shadowstep properly this season, imagine dfa

#

could easily end up in narnia

worldly portal
lucid jackal
#

And u played legion sub rogue and want to play with DFA again?

#

With all the clipping thru the floor, the forced movement and everything?

worldly portal
#

yeah at least it had flavor

lucid jackal
#

Interesting

pastel rampart
#

๐Ÿ’€

worldly portal
#

i wanna look awesome

#

also hot take, rogues should have gotten slicing wind instead of monks ๐Ÿ˜ 

#

but with like an aerial type of move spinning w the blades

hazy breach
#

Ye the movement thing sucks, but having your big hitter feel like a big hitter goes very very hard

#

Theres better ways they could achieve that

alpine wraith
#

yea having an ability that is 1 hit

hazy breach
#

But DFA is certainly one of them

alpine wraith
#

could revolutionazie

pastel rampart
#

if i saw ur rogue having a seizure halfway underground while rookery 1st boss is phasing only to do the lil spin bc u technically fell off the platform "wow! such an awesome animation" is probably the last thing im thinking

keen dome
#

DFA would 100% kill us in Rookery and that'd be hilarious actually

pastel rampart
#

we just got coup fixed and ppl want dfa back....

keen dome
#

Bring it back

#

Hey @hazy breach I can't get my head out of that tfd bug. You mentioned that is possible to proc it on dummy. What success rate do you have on dummy, cause I've understood that is not consistent to proc.

hazy breach
#

Extremely low

half remnant
#

I've been fooling around on dummy and I've been pretty consistent with retaining buff, but I might be doing something wrong here.

vale pine
#

haha, i love how we as rogues try to abuse bugs as much as posisble

#

*possible

half remnant
worldly portal
keen dome
#

I'm good at falling down holes

worldly portal
#

but yeah i feel like rogues need way cooler animations

limpid sage
#

how much dmg do we gain from hot sauce?

worldly portal
#

it'd be awkward on taurens but eh fuck em

keen dome
limpid sage
#

sub 1%?

keen dome
#

Probably less than 0.5% in a 6+ minute fight

lucid jackal
#

I mean wow is a game of, broadly speaking, not flashy animations. Especially for melee dps. Its by design low key

#

I don't want anime shit in my wow

worldly portal
#

idk

#

if rogues can do flips here

#

i wanna see it in the game

#

i wanna be nimble as fuck

#

also monks and demon hunters and night elves do flips

#

even the female undead special animation from classic had front flips (and still has)

vale pine
lucid jackal
#

Doing a front flip =/= doing a jump over 4x your current height

keen dome
#

I would like Ky'veza animations 'cos they fit the theeming of Sub imo

#

but I agree that GW2'-esque stuff is just too over the top

#

And on Ky'veza it's mostly the after images and shadowy stylings

worldly portal
#

which is fine

worn ivy
#

1 more weewk

#

no sub buffs = quitting wow

#

for sure

vale pine
#

it is between patches, so no big deal

alpine wraith
#

dont worry surely with belt and corruptions

#

we manage to get even more behind aug

#

then they buff us

#

unless frost mage ints more than us again

round latch
#

also give sub an avatar button

lucid jackal
#

Does avatar even do anything?

#

Doesn't it just make u big

round latch
#

in my head could do alot but its all in there

#

been yapping for it

lucid jackal
#

What

vestal escarp
#

Sub in my head is the best spec in the game

alpine wraith
#

avatar also makes you grey

round latch
# lucid jackal What

imagine D3 monk's ascendance + desert armor=>increase dmg and resistances/defenses(monk becomes totally black,make that shadowy for sub,give some buffs,its supposed to be an avatar button)

#

would be so f@kin amazing

lucid jackal
#

Symbols makes u purple wdym

#

Or is it dance

round latch
#

..

#

i think of it

#

something like sylvanas in saurfang cinematic

#

or like

#

how is firemage when u press bust

vestal escarp
#

Dance makes you glow purple

round latch
#

glow ๐Ÿ’€

vestal escarp
#

Sod give you black smoke aura

round latch
#

or not enough to satisfy me

vestal escarp
#

It's whatever

limpid sage
#

can echoing reprimand stack?

round latch
#

wdym stack

#

how would u stack er

vestal escarp
#

Sod is supposed to be ninja sigils or some stuff like that

#

With being an off global ability as in setup

round latch
chrome palm
#

They should make Danse Macabre start at 5 stacks, reduced for every unique attack used in dance, so that you are rewarded for utilizing shadow craft well

vestal escarp
#

Blizz doesnt like giga instant burst bro

#

It's either short ramp or setup

chrome palm
#

Cucked by pvpers yet again

vale pine
#

if so

#

it acts like combo points

#

so you can use symbols to store up to 7 charges

#

but this isn't useful, only the first 2 anima charged points stay active if you pull a boss

#

so you can't do more than the one symbols use to get extra benefits

limpid sage
#

like if you use 2x supercharged finisher, does it override the first echoing reprimand?

#

if you don't backstab in between

alpine wraith
#

dont use that one lad

limpid sage
#

I'm not

#

but I don't understand why it's worse than Forced Induction

#

on ST at least

round latch
#

if that was a thing in pvp we would onetap bears

limpid sage
#

what

#

no but does it give you 2 stacks for you to consume on 2 different backstabs?

round latch
#

u can test that

#

im not exactly sure but doubt it

limpid sage
#

will report my findings after raid

#

nope it just overrides it

#

so you lose the stack

Tell them its because u dont have shaman buff

alpine wraith
#

well something is not right if they are doing double

#

maybe trolling with pulling and other things

lucid jackal

Sub is not that weak LOL

high flint

nah that guy defintiely was trolling

#

i went to get lunch so they ran one without me

#

that was hilarious

#

good thing i didnt join

#

LOL

short radish
#

im so cooked

#

i actuall dreamed that we got buffs

#

all ability damage increased by 3%

#

sectech buffed 20%

#

tfd timer brought to 2 seconds

#

put me back to sleep

alpine wraith
#

tbh if they put tfd reset on vanish

#

wonder if that would be enough

plush roost
#

Sure it would be right?

short radish
#

it would feel a lot nice thats for sure

plush roost
#

Tfd already beats weaponmaster till 4:30

#

So its tfd every 2 mins

#

Seems kinda good

fiery pewter
#

I just want them to buff Black Powder enough so that we use it over Eviscerate in single target

short radish
#

wait reeally its better than wm till 430?

plush roost
#

Yerr

short radish
#

i swear it wasnt after 2.5 when i ran sims

alpine wraith
#

tfd beats wm forever for me kinda

#

even at 6 mins

plush roost
#

Idk it varies but eleem was saying 4:30 is the average

#

And eleem is law down in these parts

#

Yeehaw

alpine wraith
#

depends on gear

the more mastery you have the better it is kinda

hey i just returned to the game,can someone explain why we dont use sectech with coldblood on our first in opener anymore?

can someone TL;DR me how to quickly get corruptions on reset

#

i looked at the corruption mega post on wowhead and my brain immediately turned off

short radish
#

did you play bfa?

#

holy fuck

#

that article is massive

round latch
#

yes it is

#

its also silly

#

in a way that u get to do visions

#

๐Ÿ˜›

#

u get some currency(mementos) and when u finish objectives like chests u pay some of it(like 500 or 1k iirc) and buy them enchants

#

its a quest

worn ivy
#

can i see articles

#

link someone

brittle plinth
#

So basically

#

Do content get currency buy chant

round latch
#

u can vulture here and there,many links from visions as well

#

dunno if u need them though,we done it a million times

short radish
#

pretty sure it's just

#

tl;dr

#

run corruptions over and over

#

run as many masks as you can

wild hornet
#

Does feint reduce the damage of rockets or it doesn't count as aoe damage?

short radish
#

which rockets

#

there are a lot of rockets in the game

wild hornet
#

Oh yeah

#

Sprocket

short radish
wild hornet
short radish
#

this sheet says no

#

duno

#

press feint

#

check logs

#

see wha thappens

#

either way they dont kill you

#

even if you soak it

#

so its kinda whatever

wild hornet
#

Yeah my idea was to talent out of CD to get more Dr on feint

#

So I can take more rockets

lucid jackal
#

U could but idk

#

U can kinda tank em fine I feel

wide kernel
#

for the gilded augmentation matrix it says it requires a spark

#

that isn't correct is it?

#

oh im not looking at the recraft option

worn ivy
#

Do we go greater void ritual is that 100% confirmed?

upbeat cradle
#

Fuu says otherwise on wowhead

alpine wraith
#

void ritual if there is more than 1 target

#

so yea kinda

wide kernel
#

ok so

#

ive found something with TFD in keys

#

so the rules for 'out of combat' are very weird

#

TFD resetting or not seems to have something to do with DISTANCE of someone in or out of combat, i tried this throughout this last key i did. Even with my team engaged in combat i could sit a little bit away from the group and it did not break tfd timer

#

like its very consistent

short radish
#

yeah

#

my feelcraft also says something about LoS

wide kernel
#

its not feelcrafty tho

#

this was the entire dungeon no issues as long as i could stealth, never lost tfd

#

like for example: you can NOT be engaged in combat but 3 meters from the target and you will lose TFD counting down

worn ivy
#

does CB works with evis / coupe ?

wide kernel
#

and your team can be engaged in combat but if you're 15-20m away, TFD is fine

short radish
#

oh yeah im not disagreeing with you

#

im just also saying i think i've had LoS stuff also count towards that

#

noticed it in cinderbrew

#

but i havent paid as much attention to it

#

i mainly just do the distance th ing

wide kernel
#

well this means TFD isn't some thing you dont have agency over

short radish
#

well

#

you still n eed to stealth

#

and also wait for the timer to start

wide kernel
#

largely* ig

short radish
#

and also be able to restealth far enough away

wide kernel
#

nah, as soon as you stealth, just sit away from the mobs timer doesnt matter

#

the real calculation is do you lose dps by not sitting on the mob for 2-4 seconds or do you gain dps from doing it

#

for example, if you are waiting to engage the 1st boss rookery/PSF/ETC while your team is running to the boss and engaging it, just chill a little bit away until timer finishes and SS in will work 100% of the time afaik

short radish
#

bosses is different

wide kernel
#

idk if you can press vanish during a boss encounter, go sit 15 meters away if that will also work

#

in theory it should

short radish
#

i think boss range you need to be further

#

but also depends on the boss

wide kernel
#

but thats really nice, TFD is no longer some unknown random ass thing

worn ivy
wide kernel
#

i think you can actually get closer

wide kernel
#

its not very far at all you have to go

#

can we get this put in the guide or something

#

everyone seems to know already and i would have liked to have known ages ago ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

haughty mural
#

Sounds like you are defending tfds behavior with some gimmicky stuff that should not be mandatory to play around

wide kernel
#

well

haughty mural
#

But yea also experienced a lot of those

wide kernel
#

im just pretty happy i can have some consistency with it more than anything

short radish
#

and needs to just be "whenever restealthed"

wide kernel
#

but also, its kind of on theme to disappear, be out of combat and etc then reappear with benefits

worn ivy
#

the problem is with TFD on high keys u need to feint during dance and than u dont have energy to spam SS

#

thats why i tell u dont believe everything you see in sims

#

does not reflect the real stuations

wide kernel
#

i would be happy with either a buff to TFD dps, or making it on stealth

#

on stealth seems kinda weird though

haughty mural
#

Wdym TFD dps buff ?

wide kernel
#

like it giving 4 seconds of a DPS increase directly

#

blah blah when you consume TFD gain +30% for 4 seconds

worn ivy
#

again u guys not listennig ๐Ÿ˜„ TFD is the best out of what u can get right now

#

but again it does not fix the issue where u need to feint

alpine wraith
#

even if you are not far away as long as you dont get hit it is fine most of the time

worn ivy
#

during dance

alpine wraith
#

but also it is kinda a hateful talent

worn ivy
#

im considering play with with planned execution

wide kernel
#

i think its about 15-20 meters away at most

worn ivy
#

playing tea

wide kernel
#

i dont think tea is good

alpine wraith
#

as long as you have fun

#

sub dmg will be mid anyway

haughty mural
#

Just reroll WW

wide kernel
#

i want tea to be good because it makes non burst windows not feel like garbage but its ehhhhh

alpine wraith
#

ww are not that great either in m+

haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

you can try arcane

#

it is sub but better and ranged

#

and has a buff

#

and bl

haughty mural
#

Yea crazy how good arcane is again

#

After they buffed them 2 weeks in a row

alpine wraith
#

it only needed that little 4% but it was already outstanding in big D funnel

#

tbh sub would need a 4% then it would be mid but still if you check actual performance

#

for ex in sprocket it is kinda silly

#

top MM almost 3.7m

#

top sub 2.69

#

hmm

#

maybe it changed from yday let me check

#

so almost 1 mil diff

haughty mural
#

Wasnโ€™t only the 4% though, wasnโ€™t it ?

#

Wasnโ€™t it 4% on top of the first buff ?

wide kernel
#

sub needs more damage outside of flag/blades and a general buff

fringe palm
#

Rogue rework in 11.2 Copege

wide kernel
#

i like stealthies idea of loading more of subs kit into dance itself

#

also, am i ever replacing circes circlet in m+?

haughty mural
#

Dont need a rework

fringe palm
#

Yes it does, have you looked at the class tree

#

You can double the value of half the points and it's still garbage

wide kernel
#

we basically have 1.2 builds for all of the game

#

i agree they need to buff a lot of talents.

ashen dock
#

"Backstabs damage increased by 5%"

haughty mural
#

Working on some talents is not a rework though

#

Talent overhaul

alpine wraith
#

yea class plays fine it just has demonic talents and useless parts that could die

#

and no one would bat an eye

#

like FW-shadowed finishers

fringe palm
#

Well it needs work on most of the class tree and imo sub also needs big changes

alpine wraith
#

and all the multi hit nonsense

void hound
alpine wraith
#

or sec tech

fringe palm
#

2% conditional leech is an actual talent we spend points on ICANT

void hound
#

hopefully not damage outside cds xd

haughty mural
#

His name checks

wide kernel
#

am i ever replacing circes circlet in keys? it seems to give around 8.7k stats + whatever fathomdwellers does

fringe palm
#

I'd like to have dance with every sectec and 2x in CDs. Idk if that's that controversial

haughty mural
#

Massive rework

fringe palm
#

I'd also change other things but let's not be unrealistic here

keen dome
void hound
#

cooldowns that make more sense, thats a sensible change

fringe palm
#

It's going to be 2 lines of pathnotes

keen dome
#

So basically just sim yourself and see what beats it

wide kernel
#

it cant be better though right?

#

8.7k stat

keen dome
#

Well the crafted simmed as better

void hound
#

i do enjoy the way cooldowns work right now but its objectively kinda bad

wide kernel
#

sim can be wrong though yes

keen dome
#

By about 20k. So I mean, sim yourself and see

haughty mural
#

I mean one of those 2 things you stated we already have

#

Or do you not dance 2x in cds ?

fringe palm
#

You have 2x dance if you play 1-2 sectecs without it

alpine wraith
#

but iirc depending on gear a crafted 681 + jastor can beat it

#

not for me tho

wide kernel
#

it just seems odd it would be better with all the raw stat it gives, so figured its worth asking

#

having 658 ilvl abomination hurts my eyes

alpine wraith
#

it can be

the more mastery you have and mastery procs the better it gets

๐Ÿ™__** Corruption:**__

Visions return and with them Corruption, you buy Corruption enchantments with the currency earned from Visions. The enchantment is for the Head slot.

The overall best enchantment is Echoing Void.
The damage gain from using corruption is roughly 2% dps.

Update Echoing Void rppm seems to be lower than in spell data, we need to wait for more data but potentially sims too high. A good alternative with a low amount of chances to bug out is Void Ritual, wounds is also a solid enchant but only does damage to a single target.

vale pine
cloud rover
#

Is it like an Hour thing?

vale pine
#

you can now run visions infinitely

#

so no more farming of currency to start them

#

i hope at least, because thats how it worked on ptr

cloud rover
#

Ye, but di someone test it on PTR

#

how long it takes to buy one greater

vale pine

essentially, you should be able to farm currency fairl fast

*fairly

i don't know if they keep the ptr numbers, so no idea how fast but i assume a few hours

#

I'm excited for visions

#

They were fun content and it's another thing to work on and do stuff in

#

I'm excited goinginto them at 682 ilevel lmao

vale pine

its 1:1 from bfa

#

but you have new masks

keen dome
#

hell yeah

#

Yeah

#

Also some new rares and stuff

vale pine

and a new talent tree, so they should be overall slightly easier

keen dome
#

Nice

#

That's good

#

I have extremely fond memories of doing them with my BDK buddy in BfA. we'd login early on reset and full mask them together

vale pine

the most annoying thing was to grind currency to run them

Yeah, it was

vale pine
#

if that stays like it was on ptr

#

its a huge qol

keen dome
#

Having currency to run stuff is dumb as heck and I'm glad we've been moving away from it in most things

#

It just adds a middle step

vale pine
#

mask runs are iirc still limited

keen dome
#

Makes sense

vale pine
#

but you get hero? or so gear

keen dome
#

Yeah, hero

vale pine
#

if you do 5 masks

#

which is rly good

#

but also 5 masks ended up very hard on ptr

#

so unsure

keen dome
#

I wanna say you get a load of runed from it too?

vale pine
#

people with mythic equipment also seemed to struggle a bit

keen dome
#

So it'll be good for heroic-level raiders (although most of them won't touch it and we cycle back to another issue but c'est la vie)

vale pine
#

rly depends on how difficult it is

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

i have the fear it will be too hard for people who benefit from heroic gear

keen dome
#

Same. Or the currency from it for upgrading gear. Which then defeats it's purpose to some extent and it becomes a "who is this content aimed at?"

#

But that's an issue in WoW in general a lot of the time. I'm in / raid with a very casual heroic guild and something I notice is most of them just raid log. Most of them are still around 650~ iLevel

vale pine
#

ye i mean the token system has the same problem

keen dome
#

650 - 660

#

This was half the group from last night:

#

A lot of them won't touch content outside of heroic. They don't do T11 delves or M+. So they end up very limited in gear progression once they hit 4/8H

#

It's an interesting situation with how gilded impacts more casual enviroments so heavily

short radish
#

4/8 heroic??????

lilac stag
#

It doesnโ€™t impact them if theyโ€™re only doing that content

keen dome
lilac stag
#

If itโ€™s a guild that is

keen dome
#

If you raid normal / Myth you can take your gear to cap but Heroic is still in this dumb middleground

short radish
#

oh right heroic gear

#

not 4/8 heroic raid

keen dome
#

Yeah

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Yes, 30 a week if you are killing them

lilac stag
#

Youโ€™re also not doing content you need the ilvl.

keen dome
#

So?

lilac stag
#

Short of getting a lfg invite

keen dome
#

Like if you wanna make that argument you can say that you don't need the iLevel in Mythic

lilac stag
#

You have chosen to sit in that lane

#

If youโ€™re not doing any content

keen dome
#

I feel like if you raid Heroic, you should be able to upgrade the gear it drops to cap. Like, that should just be how it works?

vagrant sinew
#

you can?

keen dome
#

Which, yes, eventually you can

short radish
#

cannot unless you full clear

keen dome
#

But at 2 upgrades a week if you are clearing it

vagrant sinew
#

you can literally get to 680 with only delves

#

ONLY delves

keen dome
#

Which if you want to do the math on how long it takes

lilac stag
#

you can. Just not as fast as someone doing ALL FORMS OF CONTENT

keen dome
#

It goes back to how Hero should have more runed steps.

lilac stag
#

If I only recleared 4/8 mythic bosses, my upgrade progression is limited

vagrant sinew
#

being 650 3months into the patch barely qualifies as casual, its just simply not playing the game

keen dome
#

I don't really disagree, yeah

lilac stag
#

^

keen dome
#

But I do think it demonstrates a problem with the Hero tier of gear explictly and how it shouldn't require as many gilded as it does.

lilac stag
#

Thatโ€™s a made up issue just to rage

#

Play the damn game

keen dome
#

No it isn't

#

I didn't just make it up, lmao

short radish
slate marlin
#

you can get infinite crests doing +7s...

short radish
#

when it only needed 2 upgrades of gilded

keen dome
#

Yeah, it wasn't as extreme. The turbo boost just made the gap worse.

#

But I still think it shouldn't require gilded to cap a Hero piece

short radish
#

the thing is though right

#

nothing has changed for them

#

they have not grown any weaker

#

if they dont want to do the content

#

that's up to them

keen dome
#

Yeah, absolutely

vagrant sinew
#

but like even if you dont do delves or dont do last 2 on heroic

lilac stag
#

You are purposefully not going into +7 or doing 3 delves and complaining about ilvl? Fuck right off. Upgrade with your 30 crests a week and enjoy playing the game for less than 2 hours a week.

vagrant sinew
#

you can still craft 658 to unlock uptrading crests

lilac stag
#

What donโ€™t you understand

keen dome
#

I don't think you understand what I'm talking about

lilac stag
#

Those players are deciding stay in that lane on purpose

short radish
#

i dont think anyone does

#

i half understand

lilac stag
#

Thereโ€™s zero impact on them if thatโ€™s their choice

#

The ilvl means nothing

#

If they cared about prog, you are going to do more than that content

keen dome
#

My point is that Heroic, esp in Turbo Boost, continues to be less rewarding than it should be. Espescially with the additional gilded cap. People like to progress their gear as it's a core part of the game (even if it is ultimately a means to an end) and if you only raid heroic which a majority of people playing the game do you end up in this strange situation where you are expected to be doing harder, higher content to cap your gear.

lilac stag
#

pve has always required more than the raid youโ€™re in

keen dome
#

Which isn't true in either Normal or Mythic difficulties. Which is a strange dynamic, in my opinion.

lilac stag
#

Normal got no upgrades

#

Mythic requires you to do content youโ€™re already doing OUTSIDE of raid

short radish
lilac stag
#

You literally cant max mythic upgrades only from raid

#

Itโ€™s no different

vale pine
keen dome
#

I mean, you have more access Gilded but that's actually a good point, Scath. I agree, you can't and there is absolutely more of an expectation there to be doing stuff elsewhere

short radish
#

tell that to gesalts guildies

vale pine
#

haha

keen dome
#

I think a lot of people would be surprised that this is absolutely the norm in the game and how a lot of people play it.

vagrant sinew
#

delve gearing is actually just on crank

keen dome
#

Most people in here are pretty far outside that norm

keen dome
vagrant sinew
#

even without turbo spamming them for crest uptrades

#

just doing 3 11s a week with bounty is already so much stuff

keen dome
#

Yep, it's super efficent

vale pine
#

how do people gear in delves

#

just spam 11s and exchange crests?

lilac stag
#

You get 41 gilded a week

vale pine
#

ye

keen dome
#

Doing the 3 gilded a week is that, yeah. And a hero peice

vagrant sinew
#

yeah my char can farm 15hc crests in 6min in undermine delve

vale pine
#

but 41 is not much with how much upgrades cost

keen dome
#

It's a bit more than 41 if you can upgrade 'cos you get 15? runed per so you can add another 15 gilded

short radish
keen dome
short radish
#

like i know these people exist

vagrant sinew
#

even with only doing the 3 11s with bounty you can craft mythic ilvl pieces with same rate as you get sparks

short radish
#

and i know they are the majority

leaden prairie
short radish
#

but i also refuse to believe they are teh majority

leaden prairie
#

how

keen dome
#

Map now gives 20 gilded

vagrant sinew
keen dome
#

7 * 3 for the chests

leaden prairie
#

isnt it 3x7

vagrant sinew
#

yes and map is 20

keen dome
#
  • 20 for the map
leaden prairie
#

ah sure ye the map

#

forgot

keen dome
#

And then +15 for the runed -> gilded if you do that too

#

Because you can get 45 runed for 3 T11 bountifuls

lilac stag
#

Literally ran heroic for that

#

So stuck doing even more content for my mythic track gear. garf_sit

keen dome
#

Like, it is extremely easy (if time consuming) to grind gear up and progress it. I am not in any disagreement there. And if these people wanted they could gear. But I think the dynamic is interesting if we look at Heroic from their perspective. Because if it's your primary goal in the game it's.. in this really weird spot. And yeah, 20%~ of people getting AotC

lilac stag
#

cause I canโ€™t fucking stomach another m+ this week

keen dome
#

It'd be really cool to see the iLevel spread and like, a heat map of averages or something

short radish
lilac stag
#

Absolute shitters

#

Since patch

keen dome
#

I've seen some absolute terroirsm in 10's this week

#

And some incredible decisions in some 12's

vagrant sinew
#

yes because of the rescale the skill levels you can meet there varies by insane margins

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

We had a priest in a +12 rookery who never once pushed barrier. Not once.

vagrant sinew
#

like were 680 now, people were doing 12s without huge issues at 660

lilac stag
#

You can duo the 2nd and last workshop bosses with a bdk on a 12 as a rogue if you were wondering.

keen dome
#

I was not, but that's really good to know lmao

lilac stag
#

Donโ€™t ask me how I know this

keen dome
#

I have seen a lot of ranged and healers die to the final Mechagon magnetic arm

#

They really love to die to that mechanic

lilac stag
#

how did you guys hit 2900 io

keen dome

Man I saw a 3.2k healer die to it

that happens to the best of us

#

same way DHs also die to the hunt on that boss

keen dome
#

true

#

I did a ML 12 where we had a Shaman who died 14 times

#

That was impressive

vagrant sinew
#

didnt repair at some point or ...

keen dome
#

bad

vagrant sinew
#

how do you even die 14 times unless youre turbo undergeared and straight up trying to die

keen dome
#

I'm embarassed when I die once in a key

vagrant sinew
#

theres not even that many spots in the whole dungeon to die that many times

#

I guess you can easily get multiple in on last boss

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I wonder what, if we looked at the whole population, the average iLevel breakpoints are for keys done right now.

what is FI, forced induction?

And from what i can tell its pretty much the same overalls regardless so its shrugeg

you're either afking at 0 energy or 50%, no diff really

Isn't it just the regular bleed build and you take the points out of your tea tree and put them into your fi tree?

lilac stag

wait no tea

If we go by the data, a high key is around 10 - 12. Majority of keys tend to be 10's and then it MASSIVELY falls off. Which makes sense

# leaden prairie It's not big anyway I think

Ye since at best it would be +3% dmg, but realistically you only have like 1/3 of your raid being melee, and a lot of melee classes have a bunch of stuff that cant be parried anyway and youre not always going to be infront of the boss. So its more like +0.2% or something

vale pine
lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Dont think so

lilac stag
#

I was trying to figure out a string

#

But couldnโ€™t

#

Our dps swings as melee on locken as sub was noticeably better. Was trying to see if it was just rng or actually useful.

#

execute assa ended up being better for prog kill since people were dead

hollow spear
#

Our rets always parse well

#

Does people dying giving them a buff still?

#

Because if yes, I know why

leaden prairie
#

Well manually I mean

Like it you go into a damage thingy

You see % of parried for each abilities

Just have to be careful for melees cause most of it is just normal melee miss

Oof

Not parry
