wows timetable for that would just be way later ig

#

when swtor did this 'accessibility' bs what happened was they stripped half the complexity from classes and all of endgame pmuch died

swift tinsel
#

lol swotr died off because it was a half-baked game from the getgo

#

And went f2p after a year

#

Once you did the class stories, which were the best part of the game, the game was basically over until another half-baked operation launched

pliant topaz
#

in general terms of power budget of a spec. if a spec has a lot of utility, that sould come out of its power budget, if its immortal, that should come out of its power budget, stuff like that. unfortunately wow wipes their ass with basic design concepts and just buffs mages but thats why people ususally think a support spec that has a fuck ton of unique utility shouldnt be doing more dmaage than a pure dps spec with slose to 0 utility.

hazy breach
#

Tbf most of that utility is kinda pointless in raids

pliant topaz
#

eh, its still there, so in theory it should come out of soemwhere

#

but wow clearly doesnt abide by those

fiery pewter
#

Other games do this to varying degrees of extreme also. An extreme example would be like FF14, the caster classes with a battle rez have dog water DPS compared to the non battle rez casters. The physical ranged DPS do dog water dps because they can dps while moving at ranged, etc etc.

worn ivy
#

im playing assa in raid 😄

#

thats why GW

fiery pewter
#

I don't want Wow in that extreme

#

But it makes sense

pliant topaz
#

its not about being extreme or not but in general there should be trade offs to keep games interesting and unique

#

which is also why they dug themselves in this dogshit world of raid buffs

wispy bolt
#

Yeah but buff mage

pliant topaz
#

because they realiezd their design is so dogshit that every tier, people would just bring like 14 of the same class

#

so they had to force things to be different

#

but it all comes from poor design

#

and youre bandage fixing things

worn ivy
#

i also stop play M+ no point no fun without subtlety beign dogshit

fiery pewter
#

I like raid buffs, a lot actually. But in party its a bit weird

pliant topaz
#

im curious.

#

why do you like them

fiery pewter
#

Ehhhhhh

#

No good reason Ill tell ya

pliant topaz
#

fair enough

fiery pewter
#

I just like the idea of certain classes bringing certain things

#

In a raid you have everyone (or basically everyone) anyways so it doesn't matter

#

But if you are a sub rogue with no shaman RIP

worn ivy
#

Today first time 18+ ML as Assa top dps 5.4mil overall and funny part is i dont even know what am i doing

#

so cba M+ anymore ill play it when sub is good

#

maybe next expansion

#

maybe next week

pliant topaz
#

so they made a bandage and said now u gotta bring this guy

fiery pewter
#

If they reduced the number raid buffs and spread it out so all classes bring something perhaps it wouldn't be as bad

#

But then you have thing like heroism and battle rez

pliant topaz
#

that woudl defeat the point of them then. their entire existance is so that youre forced to diversify your comp and bring a bunch of classes

fiery pewter
#

Can you stop making sense? I don't like holes in my arguments

pliant topaz
#

swift tinsel
#

Also why they deleted 1:1 scrolls

#

And why drums aren’t as good

fiery pewter
#

I never liked how they just removed scrolls, especially if they are intent with keeping it how it is

U can still scroll

#

My scroll down is kick

Rogue is the only class I have where I basically don't have to worry about doing a lot of the M+ mechanics aside from interrupts, de enrage or stealthing. Feels nice being lazy, but im sure my healer hates it

void ocean
#

Yea... Interrupts...

If Hunters can sleep the poison away, Rogues should be able to drink the poison away with Vial

#

I mean sure, why not if, among 20 mobs in a pull, my main target appears to be casting 🤣

void ocean
#

I did swap targets as sub, but now since Im doing keys as assa, cbb

gritty knot
#

i just did +16 priory as sub and its impossible to keep up with people who know their shit -.-

brittle plinth
#

Looks like you did just fine

gritty knot
#

i mean also it was without shaman, warri, monk ye

brittle plinth
#

Yup

#

No sham no warr

#

At what gearscore?

gritty knot
#

ye and after 1st boss the tank just tanked those mobs inside the consecration because it seems he was used to play with ranges idk xD I was tilting superhard because I lost so much dmg there

#

681

teal prawn
#

I thought consecration made them do more damage

#

That’s why you move them out asap

chrome palm
#

I mean two meta casters with arcane int and chaos brand and pi are obvious gonna murder sub in a priory

#

But braunpyke damage

alpine wraith
#

arcane will do more but still yea

#

caster com`p

#

then sub as a passenger

#

although you did fine if key was timed

gritty knot
#

ye exactly. "passenger". That describes it perfectly in this comp 😄

chrome palm
#

To be fair rogue with priest is kinda troll

#

Doesn’t make as much sense if the healer isn’t a shammy

#

Because both rogue and priest are passengers

PI is very good on bleed build

no talk about bleed here

Sub is underplayed which feeds into its terrible logs perforamnce

#

5% is good

shut ridge
#

i will certainly take 5% but

warm marlin
#

I feel like assa is certainly still stronger in both raid and keys

swift tinsel
#

if they happened to throw a nice evisc buff on top of that I certainly wouldn't be mad

shut ridge

damage is already done i fear

short owl

were so back

but ig u cant really ask for more

5% is decent

at least we won't be dead fucking last

are you sure

hey we'll be above aug at least

are you sure

well aug just got nerfed so probs!

5% ICANT

i fear thats not enough to save this spec

worthy relic
#

buff gives hype, hype gets more players, more players will get better parses

shut jay
#

we need 8% and 5% to evis, rupture and sectech

open vortex

might be above aug and feral now

shut ridge
#

not satisfied until they take that godforsaken spec out back for the old yeller treatment

open vortex

warm marlin
#

sub is on the board again so another aura is certainly possible if it still underperforms gladge

bright elk

if we complain enough think theyll up the buff?

5% is absolutely fine

Y'all are delusional

congrats, we're so back, 3rd from the bottom boys

No where near sin but at least it's a step

was considering doing that but then i remembered that i am lazy

in time for sure

we'll see what that 5% does when other specs are still higher than that pre boosted gear

when is the 20% sec tech buff?

shut jay

they need to buff a few of our abilities

#

an aura buff isn't enough

Nah BP buff said they don’t know how to fix it

surely we possess the capability to appreciate the buff while carrying on the tradition of dooming garf_sit

it’s fine

They aura buff when things are weak but they dont want to change any gameplay

Which is absolutely fine

Is 5% buff a decent boost for keys??

I want to stay sub so badly lmao

What do u want them to buff

short radish

wait we're still under 3mill on sprocket lmao

I'd really only want to see evisc/sectech buffs

if we were to get anything targeted

aug isn't good

shut ridge

it can be worse

lucid jackal

Yeah my question is how much more do you want it to be

warm marlin
lucid jackal
#

Evis is like 30%

warm marlin
#

aug didn't get nerfed

lucid jackal
#

sectec is like 20%

coup is like 10%

and then rupture is another 9%

-Subtlety
-All damage increased by 5%. Does not affect PvP combat.

Its very unlikely this has any impact on the best build, trinkets or enchants, so we just keep playing the same thing except now our spells do 5% more damage. This does not include damage procs or auto attacks so the overall buff is closer to ~4.6%, but still a very welcome additional. Its unlikely this will make Sub better than either Assa or Outlaw in keys but for raid its a possibility, and even if its not better its atleast significantly closer than it was before this. Happy eviscerating lads were so back peepoHappy

Except

R u guys awaer of what the term sampling bias is

bleak night
hazy breach
#

Sub logs are gonna go up by noticeably more than 5%

warm marlin
#

idk if you have looked recently but the top gallywix parses for sub are turbo degenerate

hazy breach
#

Just like aug went up like 12% by getting a 5% buff

short radish
#

mugzee will pull ahead as well

warm marlin
#

I wouldn't use them as a metric

vestal escarp
#

fuck i have to recraft shit

Half of us here can’t read. Of course we don’t know what sampling bias is

Its funny that after all this time they haven't even attempted to tune Deathstalker for sub. I'm glad to commit to Trickster but crazy nothing was ever touched

not parses

If you aren't parsing well it may be a you issue. Not an issue of being a degenerate.

that's not a top parse tho is what i was just referring to

why 5% and not 10% wtf blizzard why

You can get top parses without being a degenerate.

thats nice

shut ridge

#

Just like last expansion in aberrus where sub dropped like 4% on the overall charts when assa got buffed

short radish
#

i see

hazy breach
#

Now i dont think sub is as undercooked as aug was

#

So i doubt well be seeing that big difference, but a bit more than 5% is still to be expected

#

Just like arcane went from being unplayed to being the meta key spec with just a 4% buff

lofty lance
#

i dont believe we gonna see any more sub buffs for at least 4 months for some reason

#

😦

hazy breach
#

Thats not what i said

#

The context is in the logs, not buffs

lofty lance
#

yea

random hare
#

5% is shit in keys

lofty lance
#

yea for sure

random hare
lofty lance
#

for keys we need at least 15%

#

xd

random hare
#

I can’t disagree

hazy breach
#

With 5% you could probably do some decent damage if you had your pulls optimized around you, but aint nobody gonna alter routes and optimize around somebody being decent

#

When other specs are good regardless of route

left ledge
#

how about

#

they unnerf the tier

random hare
#

Burst doesnt even do shit

#

In m+

Its useless

It’ll stay useless even if u play around sub completely

lofty lance

u burst, ur numbers go up and seconds after u end up tank dps

random hare
#

Shit ass spec

lofty lance
#

sub is only good in 12 keys and lower

random hare
#

Only good dmg it does is last boss rookery and its not even good enough on 20s

lofty lance
#

its ok new stamina belt will make the difference for 20

random hare
#

5% isn’t enough for last boss still

#

We’ll still 4 phase like every other grp unlucky

#

Might need to get full bis then i think it’ll be possible

#

We kept wiping at around 2-3%

hazy breach
#

Could probably pool some more sht

lofty lance
#

damn

random hare
#

I always pool but this time i took it to a whole new level with that boss to reach 2%

#

i pressed symbols for superchargers and never send dances

#

Only in amp

Still not good enough

5% > 2% surely it works out clueless

can prob test it on training dummies in a bit

hazy breach
#

Ping me with what you find

clever delta
#

how does that tfd macro even works

#

i just press it with vanish ready and thats its

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

It bugs out because your vanish buff gets dropped at the same time as tfd starts counting, so it doesnt realize that youre in combat

#

And keeps on ticking even if you keep hitting

#

since storm has a very very slight delay from the moment you press it until the moment it does damage

clever delta
#

alright

hazy breach
#

Does not work if you have dance up or youre in a boss fight

clever delta
#

btw robot want me to play keys in singhle target, that must be bait or

yeah i read the pin was just wondering how it works

Swap Wm for tfd

Estimate of the buff, sim:

<https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iaEtzDYtuHwQUzoC63ZFbY>
#

so ye 4% buff

#

its a buff

brisk onyx
ashen dock
#

Ey yo. I see a lot of blue posts this morning

#

With the word tuning

#

NOW I don’t know wanna get excited

alpine wraith
#

see i knew blizz would buff sub for my birthday

vale pine
#

so essentially, thats the buff

alpine wraith
#

nani 2 sub rogues!

#

it is like 2 shens

vale pine
#

haha^^

#

so we are not dead last anymore

#

but not close to outlaw/sin

#

would need another 3-4% buff to be on par with assassiantion

#

tho we take it, a buff is a buff

haughty rose
#

looks promising but i feel like this leaves us (lower)mid table for a long time. not sure if blizzard operates like that but i can imagine they won't buff us again for a long time

vale pine
#

its possible i missed a spell, so maybe its a bit more than in the sim above

#

but even if we assume 0.5% more, we are still 2-3% off

dusk stone
#

when we are doing 4 million overall in cinderbrew and outlaw is doing 6 million

#

200k will not make up that difference

vale pine
#

there is the perception tho, that performance of a less played spec is statistical worse

#

so i am not sure if thats the case too

dusk stone
#

what do you think fuu, how much higher does 5% push us up in keys?

rocky ocean
spark tusk
alpine wraith
#

1 akaari is homeless

dusk stone
#

i still argue we need like 15% more to be competitive in raid

dusk stone
#

30% or more in keys

vale pine
#

its a buff to make us not dead last on wcl

#

thats the entire reaosn

alpine wraith
#

ahaha no 5 % is enough to be mid or so

#

and they are happy leaving us there

dusk stone
#

well keep making your voice heard then

#

give suggestions to make us viable

alpine wraith
#

being in the middle is not that bad

short radish
#

yeah

dusk stone
#

aura buffs are fine for raid, we need targetted changes for m+

vale pine
#

it just means people can play sub

short radish
#

targetted change for m+ will require reworks

vale pine
#

and not be flamed for it

dusk stone
#

no

vale pine
#

so its a win

dusk stone
#

just buff evis and black powder and we're fine in m+

short radish
#

please stop suggesting buff black powder

jaunty heath
#

Don’t buff black powder please

short radish
#

i do not want to play deathstalker

vale pine
#

bp would need per target scaling if you want to buff it more

short radish
#

in any form of content

dusk stone
#

what im saying is there are simple solutions, not needed reworks if we are talking this patch

short radish
#

are never simple

#

and also

#

if evis and bp get buffed

dusk stone
#

what is the issue with just buffing bp

short radish
#

then deathstalker will be the play

dusk stone
#

all i see is it makes us more like ret paladins

short radish
#

and nobody here wants to play deathstalker

jaunty heath
dusk stone
#

so don't?

jaunty heath

#

5% buff, yay !

What is the logic of shadow step on mythic gally the shit teleports me in random ass places

jaunty heath
#

Theres no Point

alpine wraith
#

it is the 26th

dusk stone
#

but there's certaintly overthinking that is going on about it

vale pine
#

tbh i mean the buff at least make us somewhat competitive

alpine wraith
#

so still some days but they did it in advance

vale pine
#

so again, its a win

jaunty heath
#

At least you don’t get ported outside the arena anymore

#

Great memories

vale pine
#

i don't expect more changes/buffs

short radish
#

then my screen just turned black

dusk stone
#

we should still make our voices heard about it

#

clearly it works

jaunty heath
#

It only works when wowhead posts random ass chart and we are under the support spec

dusk stone
#

and fuus article as well

vale pine
#

haha, wowhead comment section

dusk stone
#

and stuff we say in here, it all matters

short radish
#

had a giggle

short radish
jaunty heath
#

In reality I doubt anything in here matters A TON

short radish
#

this was a great one

jaunty heath
#

Sure to some degree maybe

#

But also we just got buffed so not really a lot to complain

alpine wraith
jaunty heath
#

For today HOLY

dusk stone
#

if you had a very simple and easy to implement solution the devs overlooked

cloud rover
#

WE DID IT BOYS AND GIRLS

dusk stone
#

in theory at least

jaunty heath
#

Simple right?

dusk stone
#

buffing BP isn't a good change, so what would actually make us competitive in raid and keys without us then causing a problem

#

i havent been around long enough to know that stuff for sure, other people here have tho

#

currently we have a problem if we're buffed in raid to be competitive, im somewhat sure that we'd be broken in keys

short radish
#

remove FW
Make sectech not have a clone aspect

dusk stone
#

like im saying have liked a list of proposed stuff in a serious way that isn't too much

jaunty heath
#

I don’t think sub has a place in current m+ unless they do some absurd numbers so people HAVE to pull around you

dusk stone
#

if it does nothing so what

jaunty heath
#

Burst is just not that great in keys

short radish
#

yeah

#

sub will only have a play in keys

#

when there aren't giga large huge pulls

vale pine
#

our burst damage is too low for doing no damage outside of burst

#

but thats a problem of power creep

livid rapids
#

Depends what you want to be considered "competitive", Fuu mentioned that another 2-3% overall will make us on par with Assassination. Typically Sub rogue only gets % overall buffs rather than any niches.

dusk stone
#

i mean what if we did udhk burst numbers before the nerfs

short radish
#

blizzard also needs to properly cap aoe

vale pine
#

i mean we will see

short radish
#

it's stupid that 95% of classes/abilities are capped aoe

dusk stone
#

but again im not really qualified to come up with these ideas, dont understand the tc behind it all

vale pine
#

maybe we get more sub players

short radish
#

and then theres a few random ones that arent uncapped

#

and they do infinite damage

vale pine
#

and it will be higher than my estimate

#

we are closer to sin/outlaw

#

i don't think they wanted people to switch specs

dusk stone
#

it'll be too much time before we get new players, thats like patches away :/

vale pine
#

like if you look back to DF

dusk stone
#

i've paid attention every time i've seen a sub in raid or in keys, its really bad

vale pine
#

the assassination buffs every time it was bad ended up putting it at least 3% ahead of others ^^

#

so people had a incentive to switch

livid rapids
#

But anything outside of numbers, there are a few elements of the class design that creates awkward learninng curves. I saw some comment about people missing invigorating dust, even tho the skill to use that is very heavily skewed to higher tiered players, making balancing a nightmare

vale pine
#

this buff is more to make us not that far off

#

which is perfectly fine, just a very diffrent way to buff a spec

dusk stone
#

didnt like noone play arcane before they buffed it to competitive levels?

vale pine
#

also makes sense considering they want to make assassination the rogue spec you choose by default

livid rapids
sterile kiln
#

this buff is great for the later bosses in raid

vale pine
#

2 or 3% diffrences are not big

#

so we are competitive in that sense

silent ruin
#

Sub is back ?

dusk stone
livid rapids
#

I may also ad that although the buff is great, Dps in some case does not seem to be the differentiating factor to Cutting edge at this point of the tier, its mechs. So the buffs are just to make us look not like total ass

#

I have seen people time +18/19 as a sub rogue

vale pine
dusk stone
#

for raid, not for keys though

livid rapids
#

high end keys are viable, but there will always be gatekeeping

vale pine
#

sub was not bad for keys

#

its just a lot harder to make work

#

because you depend a lot more on good pulls

alpine wraith
#

you need more buffs to not have clown dmg

vale pine
#

nothing rly changes

alpine wraith
#

it is that simple

dusk stone
#

am i wrong is understanding our peak is like 4.5 on the overall of like cinderbrew

#

im seeing outlaws do like 6 overall

vale pine
#

also blizz does not care about m+ balance

alpine wraith
#

nah i have done 6.1 on cinder

#

but still

vale pine
#

they tune around raid

left ledge
#

I was called delusional for saying the 5% buff was dogshit

alpine wraith
#

if even top players say sub does not perform and it is real

left ledge
#

I need to see where sub ends up on logs

dusk stone
#

well yeah, but you cant tune something in raid if it breaks m+ which is part of our problem for sure

left ledge
#

We will move one or two spots from the bottom

faint basalt
#

I think main problem for sub on this season is tier set.
have 0 stacks - negative damage
have 8 stacks - still zero dmg.

when you checking other classes-specs for their tier set, they are gods even with bad procs

dusk stone
#

and they buffed udhk for keys for sure near the start of the season

#

arcane too

short radish
#

its enough

left ledge
#

Our tier shouldn’t have been nerfed

left ledge
#

Oop

alpine wraith
#

we will still be kinda middle of the pack

#

now void ritual might be better a biit

#

than other corruptions too

#

but unlikely

if it was 0.4% behind in st

alpine wraith
left ledge
#

I’ve jumped ship until this spec gets anything real

lucid jackal
#

Remmeber when aug got a 5% buff and ended up 12% better on wcl afterwards

left ledge
#

5% aura buff can suck on some nuts

dusk stone
#

didnt aug get two 15%'s?

alpine wraith
#

it is because better players may play the spec

left ledge
#

Yes aug got more than a 5%

#

But anyways

alpine wraith
#

so now we wait for the chinese parse runs

left ledge
#

Aug was also literally never played

alpine wraith
#

to make sub be great again

left ledge
#

Sub was still played by some people

alpine wraith
#

when you see stix with tornado

#

that is when you know shit is real

#

or oab

Ah yes tornado

#

The talent that was made to NOT work with our cds

alpine wraith

big cdr moment

lucid jackal

Nobody playin either spec rn

we are not last pog

dusk stone
#

so, what is our actual position in the hierarchy when it comes to keys

lucid jackal
#

Who tf cares

#

worse than sin/outlaw still

alpine wraith
#

if we play phys comp it is not that horrible

#

but we have no niche

left ledge
#

Sub needs to be finished

alpine wraith
#

so yea might as well be assa/outlaw

left ledge
#

Tier shouldn’t have been nerfed

#

That’s all

alpine wraith
#

even on last boss rookery and things like that

left flame
#

WTB rogue dev

alpine wraith
#

you could invite something like WW

#

Idk why we have talents like tornado and goremaw

alpine wraith

that also buffs phys dmg

#

You guys really keep the meme alive

merry agate

Yeah tier just feels underwhelming as fuck

dracthyr_shrug

alpine wraith

because arcane is kinda a shoe in

Tornado saw play for years

I think SL s1 was the clearest example of diffrent tuning strategies

i mean tier got the 80% nerf

or smth like that

Only wow players can get bugged and still complain

where assassiantion was initially like we are now behind

giga 5% buff hype here?

and then got buffed multiple times

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

to the point it was the only played spec

subtle jay
left ledge
#

Tornado has been complete dogshit post rework

vale pine
#

which is not what we see with the sub buffs

#

the sub buffs are just to make us closer to sin/outlaw

#

which is a positive

#

just not the same strategy of balancing

molten citrus
left ledge
vale pine
#

the idea of the buff is not to make more people play sub

left ledge
#

The season 3 df rework

lucid jackal
#

wasn't tornado good on tindral?

vale pine
#

it is to make the remaining sub players happy

left ledge
#

In which our spec didn’t get completed

left ledge
cloud rover
alpine wraith
#

tornado was decent on some places yea

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

but it was annoying

vale pine
#

tornado is very useless now

#

because of shadowcraft

#

you get cp during cooldowns

molten citrus
vale pine
#

so tornado gives cp outside of cooldowns

#

we do no damage outside of cooldowns

left ledge
#

Mini rework

vale pine
#

so tornado does not fit anymore to the design space

lucid jackal
#

Huh

left ledge
#

Blades got turned into a real cd

lucid jackal
#

doesn't look "worthless since the rework" to me

Seems like it's just bad this tier

i still think coming up with ideas is a better idea than just saying it wont happen and give up tbh

Just like how outlaw looked bad to you with one guy 10 ilvl behind

#

well

it was a niche use

We don’t need to cherry pick ONE situation

What about fyrak too

fyrak was pre shadowcraft

left ledge
#

Whatever man anyways

lucid jackal
livid rapids
#

I think from my perspective, the buffs have come late, which has been frustrating. 5% is great and all to make me not leave the spec, but doesnt and shouldn't leave Sub mains to be content with the current state of the class.

vale pine
#

oh you look at

#

fated statistics
