i think

jaunty heath
#

i had a prophecy last night SUB will rise again to the mountaintop wallahi

tribal blade
#

let me double check

#

nah sorry, god said no

gloomy slate
#

any1 know why sub gets nerfed until it was bottom spec in the game but evoker can be top 3 entire tier and untouched?

#

asking for a friend

tepid trellis
#

well it wasent nerfs that did it

gloomy slate
#

werent there nerfs early on in the tier?

tepid trellis
#

we got nerfed a week before the patch came out

#

then other classes got buffed

#

and we were untouched until a few weeks ago

vocal wolf
#

Also it's relative, sub had a high baseline, but that was it pretty much

gloomy slate
#

yeah we're like draven, good early but vayne outscales Kappa

vocal wolf
hazy breach
#

We pretty much had our bis trinket day 1 with transmitter

tepid trellis
#
  • wep week 1
hazy breach
#

And we could craft a weapon insta, so we were pretty good early on

#

(compared to 2h classes who needs 2 sparks)

gloomy slate
#

so why the nerf prepatch then

hazy breach
#

Because sub was doing insane damage in the prepatch

gloomy slate
#

its like when exsang was nerfed in mythic 0 week in DF

lilac stag
#

The tier was too strong. The Sectech nerf was not justified.

hazy breach
#

But that nerf was kinda irrelevant anyway

#

I was like a 1.5-2% nerf

gloomy slate
#

still feel like dev needed adjusting

tepid trellis
#

dev is turbo busted

#

so yeh

#

it does

#

thats kinda what happens when you take a top 8 spec

tidal chasm
#

part of the problem is we just scaled very badly this tier, due to our 3rd and 4th secondary scaling being worse than other classes & there being only 1 good trinket that was a marginal upgrade from transmitter

tepid trellis
#

and give it 6% more dmg

hazy breach
#

Has nothing to do with secondaries

gloomy slate
#

probably some1 at blizz rerolled dev evoker/and is a furry

#

like when they buff ret ST when they were top 5 in raid

tidal chasm
#

of course it does, as diminishing returns come in 3rd and 4th secondary matter

hazy breach
#

No

tidal chasm
#

ok explain then

hazy breach
#

Dev doesnt have good secondary scaling

#

They just have high numbers

tidal chasm
#

ok well dev is overtuned not what i was talking about

hazy breach
#

They rolled a +10% instead of a +2% on the blizzard dice

gloomy slate
#

they r very high haste crit

#

still pumpin with DR

tidal chasm
#

a lot of other classes scale 3rd and 4th secondaries much better than sub

gloomy slate
#

not sure why its so hard for blizz to make haste usable for sub

hazy breach
#

Youre vastly overestimating how much it matters

tidal chasm
#

i don't think i am but sure

gloomy slate
#

sub needs more options gear wise

#

the BS cards/transmitter or quit the game is silkly

#

silly*

hazy breach
#

The main things are that other classes got buffed a lot, while sub didnt (until recently, and now its good again) and the trinket thing

tepid trellis
#

way too many spinning wheels in wow for stats to be a remotely deciding factor

hazy breach
#

Secondaries scaling doesnt matter

short radish
hazy breach
#

Sure somebody else might get +0.5% more because of the scaling

#

But if you get a +3% buff

#

That makes the scaling irrelevant

tidal chasm
#

Week 1-3 we were topping lots of logs or in the upper mid pack

short radish
#

yeah then it was all downhill from there

tidal chasm
#

we scaled bad

short radish
#

until a few weeks ago

vapid ridge
#

What's the pre-pull timer for Symbols of Death?

hazy breach
short radish
hazy breach
#

The supercharger points last forever

short radish
#

just press it when you res

#

and then if your pull timer is 15 seconds

#

make sure its 15 seconds offcd before you hit ready

upbeat cradle
# gloomy slate

Me sitting here with 600 haste from the set helm that i can't get rid of garf_sit the 0 haste dream isn't far away tho

hazy breach
#

While others had jackshit

gloomy slate
#

blizz should make it where every point of haste for sub = chance to proc combo points

hazy breach
#

You mean like it currently is

tepid trellis
#

they really should not

gloomy slate
#

or like they do with crit for destro lock

#

% modifier

hazy breach
#

More haste = more combo points already

gloomy slate
#

sectech should scales off haste

gloomy slate
hazy breach
#

Its not that horrible

short radish
#

i vaguely recall there was some cook when the ShT change was announced, where the TCs were coming up with a stacking haste build

hazy breach
#

Big burst of haste is bad

lilac stag
# tidal chasm we scaled bad

We scaled like everyone else. Rogues top end was 300-400k below others in ST max ilvl sims. That’s just tuning. they never tuned sub. Spec falls while others all rise. It’s that simple.

hazy breach
#

Small haste across our downtime is fine

gloomy slate
#

bring back VOTI sub

#

was amazing

#

or sepulcher sub

tepid trellis
#

yeh

lilac stag
#

outlaw enjoyers in the chat

short radish
#

actually i didnt mind sepulcher sub. that was the combo point refund thing right?

tepid trellis
#

it was the full rng shit

short radish
#

yeah

tepid trellis
#

chance on finishers to proc shadow strikes

lilac stag
gloomy slate
#

A1 sauce

tepid trellis

and shadow strikes having a chance to proc blades

haughty mural
#

wasn’t voti the gloomblade sub ?

gloomy slate
#

no Kap

keen dome
short radish
#

tbh i was kinda vibing off it because every time i got a proc it'd play the drum beat

tepid trellis
#

it was a less version of that

short radish
#

so getting back to back procs activated the neurons in my brain

#

yeah

gloomy slate
#

dopamine

haughty mural
#

Still eww

gloomy slate
#

for adhd rogues

tepid trellis
#

it was absolute dog shit to play

#

i loved getting ranks 1

#

by just beeing turbo lucky

gloomy slate
#

dragon soul sub

#

there u go

tepid trellis
#

and having shadow blades for 2min straight

gloomy slate
#

with legendary

short radish
#

okay grandpa

#

its time to go to bed now

gloomy slate
#

back in my day

#

hahahaha

#

i had heroic vial AND legendary daggers boomer

tepid trellis
#

all these years

#

still not enough time to develop proper taste

#

smh

gloomy slate
tepid trellis
#

thank fuck for that

hazy breach
#

Probably due to you not being 16-22 or whatever you were when you were ultragaming that kek

gloomy slate
#

eu rogue xD

#

furious tabard, we were gamin

tepid trellis
#

think i was 13-14 back then

gloomy slate
#

damn

#

i was 21

keen dome
#

Damn, someone older than me.

mental dune
#

maybe stupid question but
a lotta the times during dance windows im at 2 technique stacks
so i shadowstrike to 5 points
is it really better at that point to shadowstrike again n overcap just to evis on 6+?
or is there a way to avoid this situation altogether since it happens several times per pull

hazy breach
#

Shadowstrike again is better

#

But no, it happens frequently

mental dune
#

😔
fair enough
just feels so yucky

hazy breach
#

Why

gloomy slate
#

He’s probably ocd

#

Doesn’t wanna waste combo points so wowanalyzer calls him a good boy

tepid trellis
#

tbf i hate doing it too

#

so many years of muscle memory of being combo point effecient to just not be it anymore

gloomy slate
#

Yeah

#

They should add a talent that finishers at exactly max combo points are 10% stronger

#

Boom fixed

mental dune
#

it just feeeeels good to get to shadowstrike evis nice n cleanly
esp since the duration isnt particularly long

gloomy slate
#

What are the boys playin nowadays between raid logging

swift tinsel
#

litte bit of Diablo IV, but besides that not really gaming much

gloomy slate
#

yeah i played sorc til pit 110 then realiozed they r bug abusing to do pit 123s

#

blizz needed to nerf that shit

swift tinsel
#

currently building out a death trap rogue but I need a few uniques yet

#

so I'm farming as dance of knives and speedrunning everything in the meantime

#

got into the season pretty late so I'm just kinda vibing

oak grotto
#

Is dungeonslice still legit?

short radish
#

for rogue yes*

swift tinsel
#

some would say

#

too legit

oak grotto
#

This is dungeon slice

#

Do I go Eye of Kezan instead

#

Playing 18-19s

vale pine
#

eye is good if your tank chain pulls

#

not so good in pugs

oak grotto
#

Isnt it like 5 stacks per minute

#

So since bossfights usually last more than that, does that make it worth it

vale pine
#

yes

#

especially on progress

lilac stag
oak grotto
lilac stag
#

and if you want to parse, it may not even be worth it since you’re worried about stage 1 adds

#

If you use it in m+ you’re subject to slow pulls and deaths. Would pass personally.

swift tinsel
#

if you can kinda play around keeping the stacks up in can be worth but that takes coordination so like fuu said not the most pug-friendly

hazy breach
oak grotto
hazy breach
#

its prob not worth for the overall as youll be losing your stacks quite a bit

#

But its better for last boss

#

So up to you

dawn vector
swift tinsel
#

your opener is pretty scuffed

wicked joltBOT
#

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

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

oh right this is a really old log

swift tinsel
#

says its from saturday which isn't old

dawn vector
#

apart from the opener which I have learned I need to pre symbols before pull then shaowstrike flagellate rupture then shadowblades dance and so forth what else did I xmess up

#

yeh im sorry that one is a tad old

swift tinsel
#

your whole second cooldown window

vapid veldt
#

heya more of a really basic question but wowhead runs shiv in m+ build. When do u actually use shiv in m+?

dawn vector
#

I need to be using the cold blood with Sectek every other right?

swift tinsel
hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

your abilities are quite all over the place

vapid veldt
#

gotcha thanks!

dawn vector
#

hmm

swift tinsel
#

I'd say practice the opener/cooldown window and go from there

dawn vector
#

I did a test one just a few minutes ago how about this one

#

ignoring the parse thing

#

but just timeline casts

#

and thank you for your time ❤️

swift tinsel
#

looks like you forgot to dance with your first symbols

dawn vector
#

oh I think I know why

#

the tank just pulled without timer

#

but yeh Isee what you mean

brittle plinth
#

I am loving this sub revival!

dawn vector
#

me too

brittle plinth
#

I'm dealing with the aftermaths of a 2 year olds stomach bug and the active chat has been sanity saving lol

swift tinsel
#

follow the bullet points from the post Eleem sent and that'll help

dawn vector
#

coup de gace is just a proc right

swift tinsel
#

you're sending a lot of sectechs without supercharger which is a big loss

dawn vector
#

can we get it at the same time

swift tinsel
#

its a stack from escalating blade

dawn vector
#

ah ok

swift tinsel
#

once you hit 4 it becomes coup

#

but getting stacks is somewhat random, outside of Disorienting Strikes and your first Shadowstrike

#

because of Thousand Cuts resetting the proc chance

#

without any indicator of when that chance resets

dawn vector
#

so lets say Im in a shadowdance cycle and I am about to hit sectec but dont have the supercharged should I just use a charge if an extra is available

#

it seems sometimes it gets used before I sectec

swift tinsel
#

using shadow dance is contingent upon having symbols ready, so you should never be in that scenario

dawn vector
#

ok

swift tinsel
#

and using symbols is typically contingent on using it to supercharge sectech

dawn vector
#

alright so shouldnt even come up

#

got it

#

thank yall so much:)!

swift tinsel
#

np np

dawn vector
#

;I checked the pin too should help me alot

swift tinsel
#

since the vast majority of sub's damage is condensed into flag/blades windows, really nailing them will net you the biggest gain damage-wise

dawn vector
#

and we use vanish just to keep the unseen blade going ye?

swift tinsel
#

nah its mostly for cdr farming or evading mechanics

#

or in m+ to game The First Dance talent

#

but that second bit is a bit more of an advanced optimization to learn once you have the basics of the spec down

dawn vector
swift tinsel
#

the internal timer it uses to gauge when the talent takes effect is a bit wonky

dawn vector
#

olh is that like a hidden mechanic

swift tinsel
#

kind of

lucid jackal
#

Sub rogue is 99% learning your CD window

#

and ur doing the CD window wrong, as haptics said already

#

Every sectec needs to be supercharged, which means you only press symbols when sectec is 10 or less seconds on its CD timer

#

U can bump this up to 15 seconds when u get more comfy, if that finisher is a coup finisher

#

Supercharger is important

wild hornet
#

come to think about it i dont think ive been in a situation with coup and 15 sec cd on sectec yet

#

i would prefere them adding a damage meter

#

instead of locking down the api for addons

steel jolt
#

it's going to be awesome! i'm sure it will be fully cooked and actively maintained just like the cooldown manager, which is a great addition to the game heheh

dawn vector
#

but yeh a damage meter would be awesome

vale pine
#

Its just weird, because addons are a central part of the game

#

in fact, i wish i could customize the UI of any game i play to the same degree

swift tinsel
#

I agree with the notion of not having them be computational problem solvers that trivialize raid mechanics, but that's an encounter design issue in most cases

dawn vector
#

THey just need to design raids better

lucid jackal
#

In what way

dawn vector
#

to add to your point haptics

vale pine
#

its a tough ask to improve things when they try to cut costs

#

just saying

dawn vector
#

Yeah. Well I just feel like alot of the WA bloat is due to too many things needing to be tracked

#

maybe over complex but you dont want to make something too easy either

lucid jackal
#

Somewhat true but not fully true

#

How original 2006 raids were done, and raids in classic wow with weakauras were done were two entierly different fights

brittle plinth
#

What's the modification to opener with tfd?

vale pine
#

weakauaras is mostly a problem because it now replaces addons in a not good way

lucid jackal
#

Weakauars even with extremely simple encounter design still augment how you do fights to an extreme degree

vale pine
#

because it means mythic bosses often require special weakaura managers and weakauras

dawn vector
#

yeah that makes sense I see what yall mean

vale pine
#

unlike with addons like bigwigs or dbm

#

many of these are locked behind subscriptions

dawn vector
#

I for one would like to not have to have 50 different WA's

#

But I would also like to keep my class hud

vale pine
#

and still more effort to maintain on your raid

lucid jackal
#

It doesn't matter how good encounters are designed when weakauras just exist

vale pine
#

it just in the end leads to a worse experience for everyone

#

but this experience is a self created ones from top guilds and players

#

its just that options chanegd over time

dawn vector
#

What are some things you will be doing if they do go away how do you approach your ui ?

#

What are your thoughts.

lucid jackal
#

Depends how they impliment any of this shit

#

Theres a good chance almost nothing changes for me

vale pine
#

we don't even know what is restricted

#

so no idea

lucid jackal
#

Ill probs swap to blizzard details whenever that comes out

dawn vector
#

Lets just assume then that theres a;bsolutely zero WA access

lucid jackal
#

My guess is that weakauras will still allow you to make class hud type things, just less totally encounter defining stuff will be able to be tracked

dawn vector
#

say they change the code

lucid jackal
#

They already tried with private auras, but people found work arounds for that

vale pine
#

most of what weakauras does is just buff tracking

swift tinsel
#

No auto-marking

vale pine
#

if everything tracking is forbidden, you actually can't to much

swift tinsel
#

or auto-assigning

vale pine
#

like

#

all raid frame addons would break

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

because they often include health/status tracking

#

also buffs

lucid jackal
#

It all comes down to how they actually impliment any of this stuff

vale pine
#

you could not do a weakaura ui, because thats all buff/cooldown tracking

lucid jackal
#

I'm half expecting a lot of stuff to still just be working

swift tinsel
#

if they increased the customizability of the cooldown manager that would be a nice step but I don't think it would come anywhere close to the effectiveness of Weakauras

vale pine
#

exactly guy

swift tinsel
#

unless they do a collab

vale pine
#

we don't know anything, so can't rly say

serene notch
#

Getting rid of WA is fine but needs to be replaced with a close to 1:1 replacement

dawn vector
#

If all we have is the cooldown manager but no access then we just have to deal with the cooldown manager which idk how Id feel about that personally

lucid jackal
#

Really the only weakaura i actually want is my cooldown tracker

dawn vector
#

would be rough as hell

swift tinsel
#

that's 95% of my current weakaura suite

vale pine
#

one possible direction is also

#

that similar to e.g. dominos for action bars

swift tinsel
#

is just better cooldown tracking over base UI

serene notch
#

I would welcome a native solution if it was well implemented

swift tinsel
#

with a few very niche conditions

vale pine
#

or quartz for cast bars

#

we will see more addons which just modify the baseline things

swift tinsel
#

Oh man quartz, haven't heard that mentioned in a hot minute

serene notch
#

I have a feeling that no one is using the native cd tracker, cause it’s not fully fleshed out the drawback being blizz not getting any feedback.

swift tinsel
#

its just a hard transition

#

to go from Weakauras

vale pine
#

i mean

swift tinsel
#

which a lot of people use to make very personally-effective UI's

vale pine
#

as long as the baseline addons are not locked down

vale pine
#

we can still mimic most functionality

swift tinsel
#

and then blizz drops a very obtuse iteration of their own

dawn vector
vale pine
#

e.g. there is already a addon to filter cooldowns on the blizz buff tracker

fierce minnow
#

so another addon to make the addon removing feature better

serene notch
#

Its going to be iterative, but adoption is slow which I think further delays improvements

vale pine
#

which isn't a bad approach

dawn vector
#

At least there are alot of alternative options

#

thats good

vale pine
#

you can use addons to modify the blizz raid frames too by a lot making them equivalent to other addons like grid

swift tinsel
#

they're going up against a very robust system in Weakauras

fierce minnow
#

well i am the first one who cuts back addon use

vale pine
#

its just not used in a world where we have grid and other alternatives

#

wekauras is a additional failure source

rocky ocean
#

hi rogue

swift tinsel
#

I'm fine with paring down addons/auras if the Blizz replacement is well constructed

vale pine
#

you essentially add a second layer between, which gives more overhead

serene notch
#

Hard for them to overcome 2 decades of independent development.

swift tinsel
#

which, since they're just now adding their own replacements

#

plus weakauras has real-time support in their discord

#

something blizz can't touch from a QA standpoint

#

same with plater

vale pine
#

i don't use plater

#

🙂

swift tinsel
#

heathen

#

jk jk

dawn vector
#

I love plater

swift tinsel
#

it has wonderful functionality

vale pine
#

also many of platers featrues are probably not touched, as nameplates are already heavily restricted

#

the scripting stuff might be

swift tinsel
#

and scripting/modding makes iterating or customizing very nice

#

as far as cleaning up nameplate clutter

#

especially in m+

#

far exceeds what the base nameplates can achieve

dawn vector
#

default blizzard nameplates are kinda poop

vale pine
dawn vector
#

oh yeah Kai plates are good too

#

or it it Kui?

vale pine
#

its a less known one

#

but it has features like nameplate coloring

swift tinsel
#

I use a very heavily customized Jundies profile and I'm quite happy with the relevant info and visual clarity it provides over the base plates

serene notch
#

I have not checked today but WA for me would lock my game for 5 secs and reload with artifacts all over , had to turn it off.

dawn vector
#

Do people play with zero ui?

vale pine
#

plater has basically the weakauras problem

#

where its bloated and has a high overhead

#

but people use it because streamers/players love to share their version

brittle plinth
#

I'd appreciate the lack of WA and addons

#

Bogging down the game

dawn vector
#

I just want the class packs to exist

#

thats all I want

serene notch
#

Yea this is fact, the bloat in most addons is insane ….its a continuum of customization vs convention. And addons do t have rails and tend to go hard on the customization.

fleet hearth
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
brittle plinth
#

Game has also come a long way on explaining mechanics in game vs vanilla where you just had to guess the cone or aoe

swift tinsel
#

I honestly have just as much fun customizing my UI as I do playing other parts of the game

brittle plinth
#

Not the rotational

dawn vector
#

The one button macro?

#

oh

brittle plinth
#

Just the manager

dawn vector
#

CD assistant?

brittle plinth
#

It's pretty good

dawn vector
serene notch
swift tinsel
#

CD manager has a ways to go before I'd ever consider using it

dawn vector
#

this? on the left

swift tinsel
brittle plinth
#

I personally don't need alot of info like I am not going to track things that don't impact my decisions, so it's a bit overkill for me but do are class packs

swift tinsel
#

I'm very particular about what elements I have loaded and where

brittle plinth
swift tinsel
#

you can save a fair bit of processing power by setting load conditions properly

brittle plinth
#

Yes

#

A lot of ppl over track

swift tinsel
#

I agree with your idea about not tracking/using things that don't affect your decision making

brittle plinth
swift tinsel
#

because that saves a ton of visual noise from getting in the way

swift tinsel
#

like my plater debuffs only track rupture and mark

#

maybe fw too, idr

brittle plinth
#

Like I know I'm not a 99% player I don't need to track my fazed target or coup stacks. it'll be up when it's up as per my rotation when it's played properly.

#

Other ppl will say that's dumb

#

You need to adjust to info you can use

swift tinsel
#

I mean it's the kind of thing you can invest as much effort into as you feel is necesary for the content or level you're playing at

#

which I think a lot of people vastly overestimate

brittle plinth
#

I am wasting a ton of resources on add counter atm

#

But fk me if I remember to bp

swift tinsel
#

and some of that stuff is fine if you're close enough

#

unless you're consistently within a few percentage of your sim best then its kinda whatever

#

and even then, fights usually have elements that arent reflected in your standard 5min patchwork sims

brittle plinth
#

Ya I do better with muscle memory than live decision making

#

Took me a while to arrive at those realities

#

Used to track everything

#

And never looked at it

swift tinsel
#

like for sub, my cd bar is sod, dance, escalating blade, sectech, flag, blades

#

oh and rupture

brittle plinth
#

Rupture not on plate?

swift tinsel
#

nah its a relic of setting it up before ever touching plater

brittle plinth
#

Other than escalating and rupture exactly the same as me

#

I did make draining vertical bars for dance sod flag

swift tinsel
#

was a bit more robust bc it also tracked the damage from the s3 tier set in df

#

which couldn't really do on nameplate

brittle plinth
#

Only flag one is useful I'm finding though may drop sod dance bar

warm marlin
#

alright quick team

#

people who played SL

In the end I think everyone would like a native solution and not feel like they need WA addons to track meaningful decisions no matter how granular.

warm marlin
#

is there any 90s trinket in the dungeon rotation for s3

swift tinsel
#

not that I remember

brittle plinth
#

We have s3 rotation?

swift tinsel
#

I only remember the raid ones from Sepulcher

serene notch
#

I think puzzle is 2 min?

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

phial was the only one I remember being worth farming

keen dome
#

Let's go K'areshiiiii

north socket
#

anyone seen this already?

keen dome
#

Neat

chrome palm
#

please god dont let deathstalker be good

north socket
#

i pray Trickster will be better

serene notch
chrome palm
warm marlin
keen dome
#

Tazavesh as a hub fuck yeah

serene notch
#

Kek

chrome palm
#

not for you Cheesin

serene notch
#

Dawnbreaker is such a buggy pile.

swift tinsel
#

Halls of Atonement dracthyr_love

keen dome
#

playable ethereals when

serene notch
#

Never saw the rotation till now, glad they did not go with plaguefall or DOS

swift tinsel
#

ngl that might be enough to resub for s3

#

I didn't mind plaguefall personally

#

DOS can stay dead and buried forever

keen dome
#

Curious how the artifact will work

#

Hopefully they've learned lessons

swift tinsel
#

artifact?

serene notch
#

For sure, halls, spires and sanguine depths are just way better imo

keen dome
#

We've been listening to feedback very carefully from this last season, and that's an important factor for us going forward.```
swift tinsel
#

ohhhh

#

hmm, yeah that'll be interesting

dawn vector
#

I wish either could be equal

#

instead of one or the other

lilac stag
#

Kekw. unholy before sub Pepegrin

serene notch
#

Maybe I have rose tinted glasses but I liked it, also found it funny people would use corgi glasses so the big ass blue people would not block your view

swift tinsel
#

better be an overwhelming amount of purple

keen dome
#

Also they're changing dungeon checkpoints and making them visible which is cool

vale pine
#

rly like the graphic

swift tinsel
#

if this be us, I'm a little underwhelmed

keen dome
#

Could be hunter.

serene notch
#

Help Ve’nari bring life back to K’aresh with her eco-domes.

swift tinsel
keen dome
#

But I suspect that's Rogue 'cos that's a Leather boot

serene notch
#

I liked that NPC

keen dome
#

Also peep the raid screenshots in the raid article

warm marlin
#

most tier sets are kinda gross but I like that one personally

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Oh man

#

that's actually super sick omg

keen dome
#

City. Sized. Raid Boss.

swift tinsel
#

now we just need the tier bonus reveal

#

I feel like season 1's appearance was more fitting for this kind of raid

keen dome
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

also if we aren't included in the 'and many more' Class Updates

keen dome
#

Yeah...

swift tinsel
#

nice to see brewmaster in the list tho

keen dome
#

Yeah!

swift tinsel
#

spriest, gtfo

#

hopefully uhdk loses festering wounds

#

because they're dumb af

chrome palm
#

spriest plays so bad man

#

its awful

lilac stag
#

Spriest is always awful

swift tinsel
#

that's how its played for a while

#

yeah

lilac stag
#

Just delete it

swift tinsel
#

dots, flay, mind blast

#

dp

chrome palm
#

they removed mind sear which was like the only fun part of aoe

swift tinsel
#

use whichever cd aligns with the tier set/best trinket

chrome palm
#

unfurling darkness is the most unfun shit in the game

swift tinsel
#

sear was just aoe flay

chrome palm
#

sear with the no cost insanity proc though

#

holy

warm marlin
#

void eruption spriest builds are fun

keen dome
#

Etheral Shadow Priests will go hard if we ever get them

chrome palm
#

can they just make me respawn at the boss in raid now :-)

fallow nimbus
#

Look at the patch being void guys focused and sub getting nothing kekw

#

Also we have to play DS because the set will be busted because of assa feelskek

swift tinsel
#

nah they always get "does X% more poison/bleed damage" sets so we're safe

keen dome
#

If we don't get Kyveza animations

swift tinsel
#

there is literally

#

NO BETTER TIME

#

do it.

#

ffs.

#

Realz can you confirm

#

please

#

blink twice

lilac stag
#

Expecting more than 15 minutes of dev time spent on all three rogue specs combined. Pepegrin

keen dome
#

Please give us new animations. If we don't get playable ethereals and cool purple animations this patch I'll be very very mildly dissapointed.

swift tinsel
#

dare I say

#

upsetti spaghetti

keen dome
#

Blizzard: You'll be able to grab [on the] day of the patch Champion level gear from the sources [non-bountiful Delves and Mythic 0 dungeons]. Also, World Bosses will be available. So you'll be able to jump in and have something to do right away

#

🙏

#

Pretty easy win there based on feedback, glad they took it

warm marlin
#

dawnbreaker/priory at least both have very nice sub rings

swift tinsel
#

another season of dodging signet

warm marlin
#

and there is less gear in their pools unlike top

keen dome
#

Dawnbreaker has a good passive option, at least

#

But we also get floodgate again so pacemaker

clever delta
#

rouge set not so hot

keen dome
#

It might not be rogue!! (it's rogue)

#

We already got the Ethereal theme'd set

formal helm
#

who cares as long as tier set is good

#

and tuning is good

#

and there's decent trinkets

#

ticking sack of terror here we come again?

swift tinsel
#

I care, looking cool is cool

formal helm
#

I mean sure

#

but not the most important thing

lilac stag
#

At this point it is

merry agate
swift tinsel
#

they don't have to be mutually exclusive

lilac stag
#

Gameplay is dry. Hero talents suck

#

At least improve the visuals

swift tinsel
#

that way I can look at visuals instead of details/logs

chrome palm
#

leaked sub bis

keen dome
#

If they give us really sick visuals I bet more people would play

#

Like. At least two.

lilac stag
#

if they gave us ANY visuals more people would at least try it

swift tinsel
#

agreed

warm marlin
#

since kyveza is back as the underpin equivalent she'll just drop transmitter on hero track from delves

swift tinsel
#

lmao please god no

#

if I have to hunt for that fucking orb again

chrome palm
#

post nerf heroic transmitter would still be crazy

warm marlin
#

jump 3 times!

keen dome
#

Also no this is absolutely just a cool visual decision 'cos the NPC is wearing the rogue tier hood.

#

Unless blizz are giving us glavies

formal helm
#

nah dud, void themed dhs

keen dome
#

With Ky'veza's animations?

fallow nimbus
#

Yes

#

100%

swift tinsel
#

in very angry fashion

keen dome
#

Same, but to just stand there and look very disapointed.

fallow nimbus
#

They get the kyveza animation everytime they blade dance

swift tinsel
#

Oh yeah, I'd just hang out by the doors and whenever anyone walks in or out hit them with a "really dude..."

keen dome
#

Well we've thought of it so now it will become reality

thin sinew
fallow nimbus
#

And our akaari gets another -20% visibility

swift tinsel
#

they gotta clickbait something

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

grasp at any kind of straws for traffic

#

which is weird bc they already have new info

thin sinew
#

honestly with what they gave DH over combat rogue it wouldn't even surprise me

keen dome
#

It's the Nerubar rogue head, Legion armourf or the rest and a new asset for their glavies

swift tinsel
#

idk

formal helm
#

just still praying we get a decent 1.5 min cd trinket prayge

swift tinsel
#

static agi + haste on-use 1.5min

#

just wait

formal helm
#

and hopefully let it be in m+ rotation or early bosses bc my guild is not progging a lot of mythic raid feelscryman

swift tinsel
#

same ours ended 3/8

formal helm
#

we were some % off of killing rik but since then haven't had 20 man again

#

but this guild reformed this tier so it took people some time to go back

#

mby next tier's better

#

since we have okay core players, could be fun

swift tinsel
#

I quit a few days before they downed Rik then they got hard walled on Sprocket

formal helm
#

just that our raid days are not static

#

our RL is a nurse and he posts raid days a month in advance when he gets his schedule

#

which is also fine in a way ig

swift tinsel
#

5 weeks of Sprocket prog, best pull 40%

#

only 1 night a week tho

formal helm
#

ye our RL said to us that "sure we can try going after rik, but you muppets aren't able to do it"

swift tinsel
#

I think we lost/added like six new people to the roster so it's been a bit of a shuffle getting people on the same page

#

and with a weekly subbing of three or four of those spots it makes consistency a bit difficult

formal helm
#

yep.

#

we had like 15-ish people at start of the tier

#

people came as the tier progressed

#

so we ended up with like 20-21 man raids

#

but then also some people left bc end of the season by then

#

so now we're always lacking a few and raid lead just said to not force it and chill till next tier

swift tinsel
#

we usually have 25ish during heroic prog/aotc stuff then a few fall away once mythic starts but this season we had I think me and one other guy basically call it after a week or two of myth prog

#

and because of the guild dynamic they won't force underperformers to sit in favor of letting everyone get a shot

#

which I get bc we're quite casual

formal helm
#

yeh

neon frigate
#

What is better for belt storm aura or titanium pyroblast

formal helm
#

this guild got CE in bfa, 9/10 CN

#

adn then we were 3 bosses down in sanctum

#

and guild fell apart bc our RL couldn't make it

#

was during covid and he had constant insane shifts

swift tinsel
#

I think the highest ours got is maybe 4/8 in Nerubar

formal helm
#

he even fell unconscious during some raids bc he forced himself to stay awake

#

so we just called it

keen dome
#

Deserter system seems interesting. Adding a vote abandon is good.

neon frigate
#

The belt you get from overcharged console?

#

I dont understand lol

formal helm
#

also dps bolts is the best for us

#

both aoe and st iirc

formal helm
vale pine
#

sims are in the pins

formal helm
#

but I don't really pug

vale pine
#

so you can just take a look

formal helm
#

just do a guildie group

#

we've mostly done 15s

#

missing cinderbrew and priory

vale pine
#

it should cover the most common sim scenarios

swift tinsel
#

Abandon feature def a nice touch

keen dome
#

Very curious how it'll shake out but being able to see if people are likely to ragequit is useful.

formal helm
#

waystone is also nice

#

makes it more visible if anything

hazy breach
#

The waystone is waaaay overdue, but better late than never

keen dome
#

Yeah

vestal escarp
#

Both dk dps spec are getting more changes

#

After getting substantial ones at start of expac

#

Im so so SO ready for rog to be

#

....

keen dome
#

purple

swift tinsel
#

fdk needs some of its rng toned down and uhdk needs to lose wounds because they suck and playing around them isn't fun

vestal escarp
#

Just purple

vale pine
#

i like the visuals on waystones

keen dome
#

Same, it looks good

vale pine
#

hmm did anyone identify which one is rogue?

swift tinsel
#

my guess is third from left

keen dome
#

Ditto.

#

Could be Hunter

vale pine
#

the very left one is paladin for sure

swift tinsel
#

I think the second left is hunter imo

vestal escarp
#

My guess is rightmost

swift tinsel
#

maybe priest

#

rightmost is monk

vestal escarp
keen dome
#

My guess is, from left-to-right: Paladin, Shaman, Rogue / Hunter, Demon Hunter / Druid, Warrior, also Shaman, Warlock, Monk.

swift tinsel
#

paladin, priest, rogue, mage, dh, warrior, druid, lock, monk

vale pine
#

we know this one is warrior

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

It's very cool

#

purple

swift tinsel
#

looks like purple antorus set

vale pine
#

i am surprised ye

#

it looks kinda rogue-ish

keen dome
#

They blew their Ethereal rogue set on the first tier

swift tinsel
#

if it was similar visuals but more leathery than plate I could def see it being a rogue set

keen dome
#

Same

swift tinsel
#

we get the lil eye slit things often enough

vocal wolf
lilac stag
vale pine
#

ye think the 3rd from the left is the most likely

swift tinsel
#

the head looks kinda smokey

#

a bit hard to tell because of the quality of the picture on wowhead

keen dome
#

They give me Legion vibes, so.

swift tinsel
#

yeah, was thinking the EN set

keen dome
#

Maybe a reivist of those sets?

#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

one of the cooler rogue sets imo

keen dome
#

I disliked it's spikeyness

lilac stag
#

Looks way better on b/velf

clever delta
vale pine
#

why 8 mins

#

huh

#

what do i miss

vestal escarp
#

Aaaaah ptr notes whereeereee rotating_skull rotating_skull rotating_skull rotating_skull rotating_skull

keen dome
#

Gonna bet next week? Who knows, gimme though

swift tinsel
#

soon as they drop imma be on that bitch every dayyyyy

#

I have spreadsheets to make

keen dome
#

hell yeah

swift tinsel
#

and dummies to log

#

and bugs to check

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

I'm expecting stuff to start filtering in early next week personally

#

since we're just getting first looks now

vestal escarp
vale pine
#

rogue one is in the picture

#

but hiding

swift tinsel
#

that would be on-brand lol

fallow nimbus
#

what if rogue was so neglected that they mixed up the tier sets for nerubar and new one

#

the set in the screen has a ninja star belt, it's 100% rogue but kinda fits a nerubar vibe

solar charm
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

That would be funny

fallow nimbus
#

i mean we technically never killed kyveza, but why did our set look like that? did we kill any minions of her?

swift tinsel
#

Idk I think it was a miss to send that appearance with s1 instead of s3

keen dome
#

Ye

chrome palm
#

It looked like that because she’s cool

keen dome
#

They probably just wanted to do a cool set

fallow nimbus
#

if they wanted to do cool then we would have cool animations

#

single button is wild. backstab into dance into flag and dance has a gcd feelskek

#

going stealth doesn't even change it to strike

shrewd lantern
shrewd lantern
#

The elite pvp set for dh in antorus was the original datamined mythic NH set

swift garnet
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
vestal escarp
#

erm chat

#

what about the extra 5%?

swift tinsel
#

was caught and not implemented with the patch

vestal escarp
#

goodge

dry plank
#

i was benched for entire prog on gally, and today they bring me in, i kinda get how to use cds on p1 coz we wipe like 10 times on it but i fuk up all cds during p2 and we kill it, like after p1 there is nothing happening

#

its just run in out in out omfg

#

and i waste all cds in p2 ahahahha

#

the good thing is i got mount MUAHAHHAHA

cursive vapor
idle aurora
#

Man I love sub. But god I can’t figure out why my dps is like half of assassination :/

#

It feels like the roll the dice also plays too big of a factor to my damage windows by random luck. Like no dice do 130m dmg 6+ dice do 240m dmg

keen dome
#

Dice?

swift tinsel
#

winning streak I assume

vale pine
idle aurora
#

Yeah winning streak sorry

#

My brain is bad often

#

Like do people delay cooldowns around winning streak?

vale pine
#

only thing you can do is not using evis shortly before your 90 sec cooldowns come up to stack up streak a bit

idle aurora
#

So just hammer ruptures out?

swift tinsel
#

pretty much

#

it realistically will only be a couple of casts of rupture

vale pine
#

yes, snd or rupture

#

but the pacing is slow

#

as haptic mentioned

idle aurora
#

Gotcha

swift tinsel
#

even when the thought was early on that we'd be holding at ~20-25sec left on flag it was only like...max 5 casts of rupture in that timeline

wild hornet
#

feels like sending flag on pull on gally is better PES_SusThin

warm marlin
#

If you already have your necessary cdr stacking sht and skipping rupture altogether seems better

dawn vector
#

whats the pvp build for sub?

keen dome
#

Could some more Sub rogues go kill Heroic Gallywix please

#

I need my numbers to look better

dawn vector
#

isnt logs still bugged/>

keen dome
#

No clue, actually

#

That could be it.

wild hornet
#

might be bugged

alpine wraith
#

rip parses forever for gally

#

literally died as flag came off cd

keen dome
#

damn, big rip

swift tinsel
#

bc iirc lorgs just has the top 50 logs regardless of timeframe

warm marlin
vestal escarp
#

holy fucking HOLY

#

our killtimers are all so scuffed

warm depot
#

set bonuses

#

are kinda whatever right

vale pine

Season 3 Tier set Models - Image

wild hornet
warm depot
#

actually i read it wrong

#

4p trickster kinda cool

vale pine
#

give me a sec ill give it nice colors

formal helm
#

trickster one seems nice

vestal escarp
#

lmao the DS set bonus is so ass

formal helm
#

yes.

warm depot
#

yeah lmfao

vestal escarp
#

trickster until end of triology

warm marlin
#

double coup seems very good

#

that bug was strong

formal helm
#

DS is ass as is the fucking set.

open vortex
#

trickster set pretty boring

formal helm
#

that is true

vale pine
#

trickster sounds nice, deathstalker fairly meh

hazy breach
#

Idk the trickster one is good

#

I dont understand the deathstalker one

#

Like whats the idea behind it

vale pine
#

more damage

#

^^

#

it follows the same design strategy as the hero talent

open vortex
#

will be more interesting once they release all the class change

formal helm
fleet hearth
#

!fuu

alpine wraith
#

oh no singular focus

wicked joltBOT
formal helm
#

same as hero talent tree

alpine wraith
#

actually OH NO

void hound
#

trickster gets more cdr

#

will make DS even worse to play OMEGALUL

alpine wraith
formal helm
#

yep.

alpine wraith
#

cant escape the dev that wants it

formal helm
#

lmao

alpine wraith
#

and trickster one is cracked

#

and marks the end of rotten

#

might still be good for m+ tho

#

deathstalker one is kinda weird yea we will do so much mark damage

#

it already almost does 2m

#

on crits

warm marlin
#

yo

hollow cobalt
#

Trickster set bonus is hype

vestal escarp
alpine wraith
#

it does seem like the last tier of shadowlands

warm marlin
#

predisorienting strikes

alpine wraith
#

we will have shit variance

warm marlin
#

is going to be an absolutely insane increase

sour forum
#

mooom can i play sub for a whole season w/o blizz randomly buffing assa 1 month in?

#

again

void hound
#

4 coup burst with new tier set HOLY

swift tinsel
#

dang that trickster set looks quite nice

warm marlin
#

i wonder if there's a world we bring back the vanish opener to proc coup before flag

#

with 3 unseen blade opener and 30% chance to reset you can reasonably guarantee proccing it

dry plank
#

i just looked at shaman and hunter dark ranger one (class-specs i understand) and our looks like spit into face, but nothing unexpected, everything as usual

hollow cobalt
#

Honestly czn’t wait to test and feel it

warm marlin
vestal escarp
#

assa cant play next season

#

both ds and fate bonus are

dry plank
vestal escarp
#

falling behind aoe a lot

#

like, a lot

void hound
#

that fatebound assa bonus

#

is wild

solemn lance
#

Don't get excited if it's even average it'll get nerfed just before release

void hound
#

honestly i respect it

#

for those who want to gamba

swift tinsel
#

the 2nd coup will be 60% by the time its live

vestal escarp
#

unless 4p DS affects stuff like follow the blood

solemn lance
#

Sub is right where they want it

swift tinsel
#

mark my words

void hound
swift tinsel
#

wait why would symbols consume mark

#

oh I guess faster mark cycling but w/e

#

set sucks

sour forum
#

guess u get to dankest night sooner

swift tinsel
#

all hail trickster

sour forum
#

at least thats the idea

hollow cobalt
swift tinsel
#

it'll be like Crackshot Dispatch

drifting fable
#

Hey man PTR is up where are the sims

swift tinsel
#

nickled and dimed until its down to 50-60%

#

wait are sets on ptr

#

can't check atm

warm marlin
#

did sub get to abuse the coup bug earlier this tier

formal helm
#

wth is that tier appearance tho

warm marlin
#

i know outlaw was absolutely using it a ton

drifting fable
formal helm
#

new wowhead article

vale pine
#

already added to the pin ^^

#

our tier set model

solemn lance
#

It'll definitely make cou optimization prio

vestal escarp
#

More sod uptime is so random

#

For ds

#

Trickster is really solid

swift tinsel
#

I want the purple glowing feet from the dh set

#

so bad

vestal escarp
#

2p might solve the coup in opener issue

hollow spear
#

our 2nd sectec might actually be cracked

#

TFD giga value?

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's gonna be a lotta Flawless Form incoming

#

I like it

#

blizz won't and will nerf

hollow spear
#

with the extra cdr we get from the 2nd coup

formal helm
#

wait they changed killingspree

#

on outlaw

#

what.

swift tinsel
#

oh shit really

formal helm
#

finally!

hollow spear
#

we might be able to reliably get our 2nd sectec into the first dance

swift tinsel
#

dang that sounds cool

#

barrage of gunfire vs likely killing yourself

#

and the combo point restore is a nice touch

vestal escarp
#

Nooooo i liked KS

formal helm
#

yeh

#

when sub changes!

warm marlin
formal helm
#

delete dead talents !

swift tinsel
#

tier set has some fun implications, I'm excited to play around on ptr

hollow spear
#

@alpine wraith

swift tinsel
#

do they have trinkets up?

hollow spear
#

no idea, just saw this one in the outlul channel

swift tinsel
#

ah

#

formal helm
#

holy.

alpine wraith
#

big

hollow spear

alpine wraith
#

alpine wraith
#

dont worry DS will use bp on st

#

now for sure

pliant topaz
#

theres no shot

#

what

swift tinsel
#

Heavy mastery/vers dagger

indigo steppe
#

Are we so back or trash again

swift tinsel
#

from 2nd boss

alpine wraith
#

it was already a bit close now the set increases the crit dmg talent for it

swift tinsel
#

so we get early power spike again

#

okay I leave for work again will check stuff later

vestal escarp
swift tinsel
#

ping me if yall find testable stuff and want extra eyes on it plz

hollow spear
swift tinsel
#

That’s the champ track that I linked

swift tinsel
#

Which iirc was 681

leaden plover
#

Killing spree reworked, and sub got nothing! thats how we like it 🙂

alpine wraith
#

but if it works pog singular focus(not)

vestal escarp
#

Dont think so

pliant topaz
swift tinsel
#

I’ll do a trinket deep dive in a couple hours when I get back home

pliant topaz
swift tinsel
#

We’re so
