tribal blade
#

but reading this sounds like you don't want to sit on coup at all

#

and just send asap

hazy breach
#

Bro you cant stack new coup stacks during the 5s of the extra coup? ICANT

pliant topaz
#

?????

#

Bro said what

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

Its that 5 second buff

#

If you proc an escalating blade during it

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

Its just gone

#

Fucking classic

#

Also i dont think the 2p works either

pliant topaz
#

Not sure how it won’t stack, unless it’s unique?

#

Nvm it’s not unique because I remember getting like 14 stacks with 2 coups

hazy breach
#

Because the 5s buff from the tier is escalating blades

#

So it tries to +1 it, sees "oh its at 4 stacks"

pliant topaz
#

Which means unless their scrip is the worst thing any one has ever written they made it not stack

hazy breach
#

and then goes on about its day

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

Its not a new buff

#

Its just the coup effect

#

But now it has a 5s timer

pliant topaz
#

But application of coup should give u 5 stacks though not escalating blades

#

Unless I’m mistaken in what you’re saying

tribal blade
#

am i reading this right, the literal only change to rogue is outlaw KS

swift tinsel
#

So far

tribal blade
#

why am i not surprised

swift tinsel
#

Squeaky wheels and whatnot

tribal blade
#

usually it would be "dw this is early on"

tribal blade
#

but from the history of blizz with sub

#

not looking good haha

hazy breach
#

its nothing about flawless

swift tinsel
#

Should have the 5sec buff plus escalating if it works properly

#

Or what I’d imagine properly to be

hazy breach
#

Like without the tier if you go sectech > coup > strike you are at 1 coup stack, ie 1 escalating blade

#

With the tier if you go sectech > coup > strike you are at 0 coup stacks

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

Because the extra coup buff munches the procs

warm marlin
#

so it works just like a normal coup

hazy breach
#

Because then if you dont get a shadowcraft refund inbetween your coups

#

You'll always waste 1 stack

warm marlin
#

ye ik the 4p is bricked

#

but that interaction is why i think 14sht will be very important

hazy breach
#

I mean the 5s buff should be completely seperate from the coup stacks

#

Theres no reason for them to be related

midnight ledge
#

I haven't seen this mentioned yet. is this new for next season? thoughts on it?

short radish
#

oh are we dooming already?

#

excellent

hazy breach
midnight ledge
#

oh ok

#

mbad

hazy breach
#

Its just awful

warm marlin
#

maybe also good feedback for realz

pliant topaz
warm marlin
#

but i somehow doubt it since its just how regular coup works

hazy breach
#

Well the second coup doesnt work on ptr

#

So not during cds

#

Youll go sectech > coup > waste all of your disorienting strikes > coup

#

Almost all the time

pliant topaz
#

Yeah that’s why I was saying coup coup sectech so u get big buff and don’t waste escalating stacks

hazy breach
#

Like it cant be designed this way on purpose

#

Its just awful

#

Deathstalker levels of bad

warm marlin
#

maybe itll just be one dance between flags and you just do coup coup cb sectec

#

turbo pool for flag

pliant topaz
#

I can see triple dance with flag tbh

hazy breach
#

I mean we already do that

#

Like half the time

warm marlin
#

instead of 1.5 charges of dance going into flag just sitting at or near 2

pliant topaz
#

Im so far behind hahahaha haven’t caught up at all

warm marlin
#

if you're gonna be turbo pooling sht anyway you won't have much opportunity to really be dancing often between flags

pliant topaz
#

So yeah it’s just the same then. Triple dance in flag + more naked sectechs and wrap it up

warm marlin
#

i auto attacked for 18 seconds straight on sprocket this week

#

0 gcds

#

this is the future they want

hazy breach
#

Why did blud not backstab

#

Also our kill timers are so cursed man

warm marlin
#

i refreshed my rupture at 115

hazy breach
#

How am i supposed to get a good sprocket log when it dies at 4:30

warm marlin
#

since it was going to expire

#

and then had no reason to build

#

already had my cdr good to go

pliant topaz
#

Eleem what’s aoe gonna be like? Backstab cuz mashallah maybe got 2 set proc? Or fully ignore 2 set and don’t use it! So Pog

#

Kekw

hazy breach
#

Its just a during dance type thing

tribal blade
#

sub parsing about to be hella rng

#

with trickster tier set

hazy breach
#

Dont think so

warm marlin
#

i dont think itll be that bad

hazy breach
#

Should be less rng than now

warm marlin
#

ye this tier is sooo bad

#

especially if you arent giga gaming the tier set

tribal blade
#

oh true good point haha

hazy breach
#

Im not even talking about the tier

tribal blade
#

very good point

hazy breach
#

Just unseen blade in general

warm marlin
#

the delve belt is turbo cringe

hazy breach
#

Like you will very rarely get the no-coup inbetween sectechs with the new tier

#

Which can happen quite a bit now, especially if you dont have disorienting strikes on pull

zenith prism
#

make unseen blade trackablegarf

hazy breach
#

Like youre not really gonna play different either way

pliant topaz
#

In aoe specifically

tribal blade
#

i assume this would change backstab rules in 2 target

hazy breach
#

Why

#

This just makes backstab better, so its the same as now. Might make backstab worth at 3

tribal blade
#

i thought maybe more UB procs would mean backstab better

full lagoon
#

At least theres a new house of cards trinket in dungeon loot now

warm marlin
full lagoon
#

i mean it gives main stat

#

Almost no others do

#

think its pretty decent, the big main stat onuse is 2min so

#

not much choice

hazy breach
#

Theres the spymaster one

#

Which is probably what were gonna be rocking with

warm marlin
#

my initial thinking with our tierset and whatnot looks like we are somehow putting even more of our dmg % into our 90s windows

full lagoon
#

oh missed that one

warm marlin
#

having primary outside of them is kinda whatever

hazy breach
#

The 2 min one looks better than it is because it decays

full lagoon
#

thought it was a remnant of darkness reskin i think

warm marlin
#

5k primary + 9k mastery twice vs. 55k agility

full lagoon
#

If i remember what u mean

full lagoon
hazy breach
full lagoon
#

decay and no main stat on base

hazy breach
#

But ye

#

The spymaster one is 55k

#

For 15s

#

Every 2:30 roughly

warm marlin
#

it lasts 20s

full lagoon
#

can you send tooltip if you have it somewhere

warm marlin
#

almost covers 3 dances

hazy breach
#

Oh is it 20s

#

Thats even better

#

Or well, 15s but stronger wouldve been better, but its fine

warm marlin
#

you either send on every 90s or overcap a bit and wait for 3 mins

full lagoon
#

I just didnt see that one straight up damn

#

Yeah thats cracked

hazy breach
#

We probably send every 90s

#

Unless you know you need to big bang

#

Because otherwise you waste stacks

warm marlin
#

i wonder if maghar will weigh it to 3mins hmmge

hazy breach
#

And 33k mainstat is still good

warm marlin
#

idk there's a world to me where you send dances a bit more aggresively and don't turbo pool for your 90s flag like you would for your 3min

#

probably just worse than casting spy every 90s but

#

maybe a way to play around it

hazy breach
#

You waste like 1/3 of a use if you hold it for the 3 min though

warm marlin
#

yea...

hazy breach
#

Or well, 1/3 of a 90s pop

#

So probably only worth in situations you know you need enormous burst for

#

its also from the 6th boss

warm marlin
#

perhaps you send it before your cb sectec in opener to avoid overcapping a bit

#

idk

#

then you waste only 2 stacks

#

still probably bad

swift tinsel
#

shoulder off-piece, with heavy mastery/vers shoulders from raid available

#

not a bad sitch

tribal blade
#

i'm enjoying the fact that sub is the niche 1.5 min spec for rogue

#

and then they're giving that to sin

bleak night
hazy breach
#

Just gotta do some cooking to make sure this one is up for the burst too @warm marlin

#

55k agi and 30k mastery go boom

short radish
warm marlin
#

i tried it

short radish
#

i dont like the sound of this

warm marlin
#

it can proc off auto attacks

#

seems cooked

hazy breach
#

Ye

#

Just stop auto attacking at 14 bro

warm marlin
#

hmm

#

10s only too

#

gotta tactically proc it 6s into blades

short radish
hazy breach
#

Its 10 rppm

short radish
#

can we please stop having degenerate stop damage built into our shit

hazy breach
#

So ig if you start burst at like 13 stacks of the trinket

#

It should be good

warm marlin
#

aint no way ur juggling getting coup ready getting your sht and also getting your trinket to 13 stacks omegalul

hazy breach
#

And/or hold non cd dances for it in the downtime period

short radish
warm marlin
#

listen if there is downtime i am goddamn READY to auto attack

#

i love it

short radish
#

downtime is the best

#

holy shit

hazy breach
#

He draws the line at NOT auto attacking though

warm marlin
#

i play outlaw in keys and go zoom zoom 100apm

#

and then i play sub in raid and afk for 20s straight

short radish
#

unironically my favorite part of playing the game is when i don't have to play the game

warm marlin
short radish
#

it makes me feel free ya know

warm marlin
#

as i unfortunately learned this week feint will proc it though omegalul

#

gotta actually cast nothing

hazy breach
#

Well then your 3 min burst doesnt have pacemaker

#

So its shrugeg

warm marlin
#

doesn't matter if there is no 3min burst 🤔

swift tinsel
#

okay yeah this 4pc thing is fucking weird

#

not being a separate buff makes zero sense

#

also it chains off itself sometimes

warm marlin
#

wdym chains off itself

swift tinsel
#

3 back to back coups

warm marlin
#

your tier set is working?

hazy breach
#

Thats just one coup though

#

Like a regular ass coup

#

6 hits

swift tinsel
#

lemme get logs setup quick

hazy breach
#

Like a single coup cast

#

Is 6 hits

swift tinsel
#

right

hazy breach
#

3 phys + 3 shadow

swift tinsel
#

that doesn't show what I'm trying to say, I got to 4 stacks, then cast coup, then my stacks stayed at 4, cast coup again, stacks stayed at 4 again after the 2nd cast

hazy breach
#

Well youre not casting coup

#

Youre casting eviscerate

#

(because it doesnt work)

swift tinsel
#

ohhh its a visual bug then with escalating then bc it keeps saying I'm at 4 after casting it

hazy breach
#

No

#

You cast 1 coup

#

Then you cast evsicerates

#

So you cant use the 5s buff

#

Because its bugged

#

But the 4p buff being tied to escalating is sus because then you cant stack inebtween coups, even when they fix it to work

swift tinsel
#

ah yeah now that I can see the log better I see what you mean

#

Void-Touched Fragment stacking around 3ish mins sounds kinda nice

hazy breach
#

It should be roughly every 90s, but again, rppm is random

tribal blade
#

oh i thought i was gonna have to race change off nelf, but that new pot is on the same cd as combat pot right?

#

good

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

So should share cd

swift tinsel
#

latent energy acting weird tho

tribal blade
#

they can't figure out how to fix the skip meta, so they do something that requires the least amount of work

hazy breach
#

Idk racials usually worth more than a single use of pot anyway

#

Better to have the option than to not have the option

tribal blade
#

sounds like it's gonna be one of those things where everyone will have to have combat pot off cd on certain points of M+

bleak night
#

we dont want everyone to need shroud/invis pot to do skips

#

so instead we added a shadowmeld pot that everyone needs instead

tribal blade
#

rogue utility losing value by the second

swift tinsel
#

looks like fragment can proc off poison and/or rupture (its both)

tribal blade
#

now EVERYONE has vanish 🙂

swift tinsel
#

same for netherprism

short radish
#

holy shit

#

its actually such fucking stupid monkey ass logic

bleak night
#

we're back where we started but now its just more annoying to do

short radish
#

tin foil hat theory - theyve done this to make everyone pay for race changes to dwarves

tribal blade
#

they legit did the simplest fix they possibly could

#

which doesn't fix anything

#

except make the skip meta even easier to do?

#

or maybe it's ok

bleak night
#

but if you want to make the skips ok why not just use the pot we already had for doing skips

#

and stop putting eyes everywhere

hazy breach
#

Developers’ notes: Spell Block required a lot of specialized knowledge to use. Not only did you need to know when damage was coming, but also whether it was a form of magic damage that could be blocked or not and thus affected by the ability. AOE damage isn’t blockable, neither is periodic damage. Some tankbusters are and others aren’t. We weren’t happy with the knowledge demanded to use the ability effectively.
Warrior cant have this but rogue has 4 spells that work the exact same way garf

tribal blade
#

holy shit kill timers so incredibly cooked for sin now

#

i might just play sub for reclears

tribal blade
#

others can't comprehend

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

I love playing sub when we had like a 4:20 sprocket

#

But thats cursed for assa too so its gg, need more dps and less buyers

warm marlin
#

we 2healed it this week

#

helped a lot

tribal blade
#

just killed locken at 4:04 kill timer

warm marlin
#

even with a buyer and some deaths still had a 3:51

#

getting closer to perfect

tribal blade
#

so what's the over under on sub getting no changes whatsoever

#

or very minimal attention

swift tinsel
#

I'll huff the copium and say we get at least 2 talents changed

warm marlin
#

hopefully #nochanges

shut jay
#

our tier set will be nerfed severely a week away from 11.2 going live garf_sit

swift tinsel
#

maybe not on the level of "remove dust and add death perception"

brittle plinth
#

I have to assume that at the very least we eat a nerf but some bugs fixed from mid xpac wowhead post

warm marlin
#

nah unlike s2 transmitter isnt going to pump the numbers up as much as before

#

and there are other specs currently looking omega broken

bleak night
#

they already made the rogue change for this patch

#

ks is fixed what more do you want

tribal blade
#

t r u e

shut jay
#

'the' rogue change

hazy breach
#

My guess is that sub is going to be quite low on overall dps but have insanely strong burst, esp if we can get the 2p to be an extra hit instead of a cd reset

hazy breach
tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

same, will look more tomorrow

hazy breach
#

If the tier set works like you'd expect it to

tribal blade
#

that's actually kinda crazy

hazy breach
#

(but again, it doesnt work right now on ptr so)

#

But then again were also missing like 30% damage on our finishers from the current tier

zenith prism
warm marlin
#

30% damage on finishers from current tier -> 30% damage from flawless form from coup

#

but only one of them actually works on sectec

#

saved?

tribal blade
#

i imagine trickster OL is gonna be banging with the new tier

hazy breach
#

Its only the shadow part of current tier thats bugged with sectech

shut jay
#

that extra 0 was a typo

hazy breach
#

But ye were also expecting the new tier to just be numerically stronger than the current one

warm marlin
#

excited to see once it gets fixed what is possible

tribal blade
#

"if" it gets fixed

#

🙂

shut jay
#

is that 2 minute on use raid trinket intellect only or is it just visually not updating to agi for us?

warm marlin
#

it literally doesnt do anything on ptr

tribal blade
#

ah i didn't realize it was that broken

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

its actively a damage loss actually since you can't build coup stacks during the 5s

hazy breach
#

Why bother with 2 min trinket when theres ones we can use on every burst

shut jay
#

Wasn't house of cards 2 min during ptr?

hazy breach
#

First week or so yes

shut jay
#

Then we pray

hazy breach
#

What

#

For what

shut jay
#

They make it 90secs

hazy breach
#

Why

#

We already have trinkets we can use

#

Theres a 90s one like house of cards from the new dungeon and theres a spymaster type one (thats more likely to see use)

shut jay
#

Oh right the new dungeon one

fiery grove
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

still have no idea how fatebound works, rereading the tree for the first time in months just in case

#

something something flip coin

#

something heads

#

something tails

warm marlin
#

apparently the damage proc of the spymaster trinket isn't even bad

#

that thing is gonna be busted

twilit phoenix
novel vector
#

Am I trippin or is sub tierset kinda boring compared to sin and outlaw? Double coup seems cool but the deathstalker bonuses seems very uninspired

swift tinsel
#

nah ds set just kinda objectively sucks

tribal blade
#

ds set is very last minute homework

twilit phoenix
#

Double coup cdr will be interesting

tribal blade
#

it has a cool idea of cycling marks faster, just barely scratches the surface

#

i have a feeling the trickster set will be very impactful for sub

tribal blade
#

ds is gonna become even more unplayable for sub

#

next tier

#

trickster gonna be SWIMMING in cdr

#

i'm looking at my best locken parse, i got 14 coup casts

#

so it would become 28 with new tier

#

that's 70 CPs worth of extra cdr

warm marlin
#

so many flawless form stacks

fleet wharf
#

Will that let us dance one more time between cds?

tepid trellis
#

Mayhaps

fleet wharf
#

How do you guys feel about assa also being able to do 1.5 min cds with the coin talents?

warm marlin
fleet wharf
#

sht?

warm marlin
#

shadow techniques

#

stored combo points

fleet wharf
#

so many acryonyms lol

tepid trellis
fleet wharf
#

yea, on one hand, I liked specs having distinct niches, but I could also see assa liking that flexibility

tribal blade
#

for some reason

tepid trellis
#

First gotta proc the coin OMEGAKEKW

native zodiac
#

its guaranteed im p sure now

tepid trellis
#

Its so fcking dumb

fleet wharf
#

on the opener from what the pinned post says

tribal blade
#

this is just classic blizz giving sin what all the other rogue specs have

tepid trellis
#

Just delete sub

fleet wharf
#

we might not be far away unfortunately

tepid trellis
#

Fcking joke

twilit phoenix
#

sub 1.5 min niche bangs

tribal blade
#

it's actually kinda crazy

twilit phoenix
#

i don't think long-term they'll leave it like that ngl

tribal blade
#

for sin to have the option of being 2 different cd timings like that

twilit phoenix
#

we might have a scuffed double 1.5 min spec for a tier or two

fleet wharf
#

next they'll let assa move its cds around between cds and it's all over

tribal blade
#

dust was an issue

#

got removed

#

dw

#

we put it back in sin 😉

warm marlin
#

no way assa is actually playing fatebound right

#

i havent been keeping up but isnt the ds set good for them

fleet wharf
#

they might on some fights for better cd lineups

native zodiac
#

that tierset is not even close to what dust was tbh

tribal blade
#

prob not in aoe

bleak night
#

fatebound still has the issue of being fatebound

fleet wharf
#

i mean I like sub so I'm gonna try to make it work but it seems like you can very easily just one trick assa and be completely fine?

native zodiac
#

fatebound just loses a shit ton of value as soon as theres adds involved @warm marlin thats why ds is so dominant

tepid trellis
#

If they end up fixing FB being a massive loss in more than 1 target

#

Its gonna be good

fleet wharf
#

randomness?

bleak night
#

well the coin is guaranteed in opener with 2p

fleet wharf
#

I've not touched fatebound yet

bleak night
#

the problem is you literally lose damage if there is more than one target

tribal blade
#

sounds like DS sin will be quite bursty

bleak night
#

and if next tier is anything like this one there never wont be adds

tribal blade
#

if you're gonna need to play a 1.5 min spec in raid might as well just play sub

tepid trellis
tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

Cuz clearly sub isnt allowed to have anything in this game

tribal blade
#

honestly i started laughing when i read the sin fb tier set

#

"there's no shot this is happening"

tepid trellis
#

Will see but might be my last tier. Out of stuff that keeps me wanting to play

tribal blade
#

this is gonna be my last season of key pushing

#

i'm already feeling the future fomo right now

#

but i think it's time

twilit phoenix
tribal blade
#

my dad also got diagnosed with early stage of alzeihmers so it's a good time to do it

tepid trellis
#

They have a bit of time to show they give a shit about rogue. And if not im just gonna dip

tribal blade
#

we're already off to a horrendous start haha

#

that single rogue change so far

#

wheeeee

fleet wharf
tribal blade
#

like once again

#

looking through the notes to see paragraphs upon paragraphs for everything else

tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

and then rogue is basically nothing

#

it's fucking insane

swift tinsel
#

Was playing around with new fdk talents and they’re bangers so I’ll probably play that if I come back this season

#

Empower Breath is low-key fun

bleak night
#

ive only seen people say its shit

#

lmao

chrome palm
#

Frost in my guild thought it was weird it’s like desynced from everything

short radish
tepid trellis
#

Well. Is shit and plays like shit is two different things

bleak night
#

plays like shit

fleet wharf
#

Do they add more to PTR after the initial notes?

swift tinsel
#

The cdr element was lining up with pillar/DB nicely idk

tepid trellis
chrome palm
#

Usually just updates to respond to feedback

tepid trellis
chrome palm
#

If they had rogue changes planned, they’d be in the notes

#

Unless something changes

swift tinsel
#

Outlaw rejoice, they got the attention this cycle

short radish
#

yeah it'll be outlaw changes if anything

#

good for them

swift tinsel
#

The one crumb

chrome palm
#

I’m gonna lose my mind how hunter gets 5 paragraphs every patch

short radish
#

oh and im sure some stuff about assi will be dropped

tepid trellis
#

Fuck outlaw

native zodiac
#

tbf that outlaw change with killing spree should have been made when they made the hero talent trickster for them

tepid trellis
#

Fuck hunters

swift tinsel
#

Fuck Bob Duato

chrome palm
#

Literally a fight in the raid that is impossible to use it on

tribal blade
short radish
#

why won't blizzard notice me pepecry

tribal blade
#

but there needs to be like x10 more of that spread across all 3 specs

native zodiac
#

ye

#

still waiting for the day they adress cdr on sub rogue

chrome palm
fleet wharf
#

pour one out for our boy ks

tribal blade
chrome palm
#

I like the zac clips of him falling into the floor with killing spree

tribal blade
#

but it just makes DS even more unplayable for sub

tepid trellis
#

Good

tribal blade
#

btw wtf does the "increased effects" of ds 2pc mean

tepid trellis
#

Plague dmg

tribal blade
#

oh is that it

tepid trellis
#

Yup

tribal blade
#

hrm

#

that sounds very underwhelming

tepid trellis
native zodiac
#

does it not also work on the dn dmg?

#

i would have assumed so

tribal blade
tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

i think ds sin will have crazy funnel next tier

#

with zeroess build

#

in cds

fleet wharf
#

Assa might actually be the more complicated spec next tier right?

native zodiac
#

i doubt it

#

making assa complicated is a hard task

tepid trellis
#

Good for Them. They should take subs tankyness next and give it to assa

tribal blade
#

from reading this one thing would be you can't press shiv if DN is up

native zodiac
#

i mean you most likely just press shiv when you have 1 or more marks

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly

native zodiac
#

and then prob the same rule as now with lingering

tepid trellis
#

Assa about to get shuriken combo aswell

#

Just to really rub it in

tribal blade
#

bring back combo for sub

#

it wouldn't be op

tepid trellis
#

Nah goes to assa

tribal blade
#

😦

tepid trellis
#

Sry bud

tribal blade
#

arcane and sin exists

native zodiac
#

they can take our niches but they cant take our bugs

tribal blade
#

but combo for sub is too much

tepid trellis
#

We arent about funnel anymore we are outlaw lite

tribal blade
#

btw did they give dh a new spec

#

with the kyveza animations

#

instead of sub

short radish
#

lol

#

no fucking shot they did

bleak night
#

probably

tribal blade
#

i dunno if this is my guild memeing

fleet wharf
#

wait DH got nothing in patch notes except for pvp

tribal blade
bleak night
#

yeah because they cant drop the new spec yet

tribal blade
#

this is me talking out of my ass from stuff the dh in my guild is talking about

#

i have 0 clue if this is real or not

remote eagle
#

is it too early to doom bc of no changes?

bleak night
#

theres apparently a few signs that there is a void dh spec coming

fleet wharf
#

the only thing I've heard is that they are being teased in a similar way to aug was teased before being added to the game

bleak night
#

idk anything about it

shut jay
short radish
#

dooming is eternal

warm marlin
tribal blade
bleak night
#

theres some actual spell data and stuff too

#

but also some random pictures that might just be ai

man, it would suck if dh slurps up all of the kyveza and void themed stuff up

warm marlin
#

its either a void spec or like customization options to change all your spell animations and stuff like glyphs

remote eagle
#

i saw tons of healthy changes to shadowpriest and was excited that devs actually started doing their work but then i saw rogue tab lul

bleak night
#

with the void dh boss being optional

#

it might just be like the green fire for warlocks

shut jay
bleak night
#

and be a recolor

warm marlin
bleak night
#

yeah thats the probably fake picture i was talking about

tribal blade
#

especially sub

bleak night
#

well spriest was due its annual rework

fleet wharf
#

only the 17th one bro

short radish
#

they'll get it right this time

swift tinsel
#

If those shitbag demon hunters get our kyveza animations I’m boycotting sub

remote eagle
#

spriest is even more dogshit than sub rn

tribal blade
#

someone is gonna have to put gestalt on suicide watch

fleet wharf
remote eagle
#

mine too, used to be

fleet wharf
#

i seem to have an affinity for shitty specs

remote eagle
#

i need more shitty specs to reroll

short radish
fleet wharf
#

but 3.6% dr

#

doesnt work on environmentals but it's something

remote eagle
#

cant get invited into 17s cuz its strictly meta comps :C

tribal blade
#

people care so little about dr that half the player base doesn't know atrophic exists

swift tinsel
#

I’m preemptively mad about this dh thing

bleak night
#

lmao

swift tinsel
#

Bc it’s gonna happen

fleet wharf
#

yea, kyveza's whole theme was being an assassin, I really hope we get the void themed shit

short radish
fleet wharf
#

but actually they pull a quick one and gives the void animations to assassination because fuck sub

swift tinsel
#

Nah give it to the edgelord spec

tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

Fuck them

short radish
#

and the fact that it's existed this long as well lmao

fleet wharf
swift tinsel
#

Nah they have some sick ones already

tribal blade
#

yeah you would think people would have found it out, then started stacking x2 rogues

swift tinsel
#

Plus the new ones they just got today

bleak night
#

oh i did see the notes mention updated animations

#

are they good

swift tinsel
#

Mostly played frost but I really like it

short radish
swift tinsel
#

Plus with their tier set you get infinite exterminates in aoe

#

It’s insane

fleet wharf
#

does it always take like 30 minutes to copy your characters in ptr?

swift tinsel
#

Just drowning in procs

native zodiac
tribal blade
#

3 rogues unheard of

bleak night
#

ok but we have one button rotation now

short radish
#

yeah our guild is wack with how many overlapping classes we have

bleak night
#

just multibox and play a second rogue yourself

short radish
#

we have had 3 warlocks since sanctumn

swift tinsel
#

Locked into frostscythe and glacial advance which is a muscle memory change but they can get auto RW

native zodiac
#

we had 5 mages for a short time this tier

tribal blade
#

having multiple locks is good though

swift tinsel
#

And ERW is different in a fun way

bleak night
tribal blade
#

considering how turbo required they are for everything

swift tinsel
#

It’s kinda like sod

bleak night
#

im still the only rogue

swift tinsel
#

Same lol

short radish
#

yeah i know. other guilds out there begging for one warlock meanwhile we have 3

native zodiac
#

been the only rogue since amirdrassil 😎

swift tinsel
#

Our rl is gearing his outlaw tho

tribal blade
#

yeah i'm the only rogue in my guild too lol

swift tinsel
#

Which idk how he’s gonna lead as that spec

#

Then again he’s a hekili enthusiast

bleak night
#

outlaw raid leading holy

short radish
warm marlin
short radish
#

but im still only rogue

#

ecks dee

swift tinsel
#

Yeah he’s leading as ret atm

short radish
#

i even had a rogue mate to recommend

warm marlin
#

something tells me theres not many rogues out there garf

short radish
#

but our roster to full and also who cares about rogue buff that much

swift tinsel
#

I was seriously the only max-level rogue in our guild until like a week or two ago lol

tribal blade
#

my favorite thing is guildies playing their alt rogues and slowly discovering that it's not a simple class

native zodiac
short radish
swift tinsel
#

Outside of one guy who pvps sometimes

short radish
#

like overall we're the lowest

swift tinsel
#

Lol we had two evokers before two rogues

short radish
#

but feels like there's still a decent amount of us out there

swift tinsel
#

One pres one Aug

short radish
#

delete aug

warm marlin
#

I only have my spot in my current guild because literally every single prior rogue or potential rogues they would have asked quit

fleet wharf
#

Aug barely got shit this ptr

swift tinsel
#

If I don’t play one next tier I don’t think we’ll have one

bleak night
#

at this point its just rogue and warrior we only have one of

#

oh and monk bc both of ours left

#

so tank swapped to brew

swift tinsel
#

We have a couple of fotm rerollers but I think we have two of most classes

short radish
#

or something

#

(the class not you)

swift tinsel
#

No one to hoover the mastery/vers dagger drops from second boss next season

#

Quick look has us decently itemized tho

native zodiac
#

jokes on your bro we gonna be crafting a dagger with the same emb for the 3rd time in a row

swift tinsel
#

Shoulders will be off-piece

#

But can get real good raid ones

warm marlin
#

once again early boss with mast/vers dagger into late boss with crit/mast dagger hmmge

swift tinsel
#

Necks, rings good too

native zodiac
#

the loot this raid is p good tbf

bleak night
#

who cares about itemization, tell me which off pieces we get of other leather tier for transmog

warm marlin
#

there are a lot of vers mast pieces in the rotation

swift tinsel
#

I want purple dh boots

#

Maybe gloves

warm marlin
#

plus we won't have hoc weighing down our mastery valuation anymore

#

can invest a lot more into it

swift tinsel
#

Nah just new dungeon trinket

#

If we run it

warm marlin
#

spymaster lite on top

swift tinsel
#

That one takes like 2.5-2.75mins to stack for me

#

So yeah pretty spymasters

warm marlin
#

unlike spymaster you don't need to wait for it to full stack

#

if you just cast it at 90s its 33k agility

#

and the damage proc is actually quite good on its own

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I’m gonna play around with sending different stacks but that sounds pretty nice

#

The other stacking trinket is a lot closer to Eye for me atm

warm marlin
#

I think there's a world you cast it early with 2 stacks in your very first burst then hold for 3mins but we'll see

swift tinsel
#

Wait I have that reversed. The auto-consume one

#

Is like 1.5ish to 2.25mins to stack so far

#

Brain is cooked spaghetti atm

warm marlin
#

yeah the spymaster one is just 1 stack every 10s

#

15 max

swift tinsel
#

Void one will be hard to game a bit bc rupture ticks can add stacks so hovering at 13-14 will be tricky

#

Esp if you want it to proc in flag

#

Bc then you’re going in with no rupture

warm marlin
#

idk that one seems kinda unlikely

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

warm marlin
#

again it also only lasts 10s

swift tinsel
#

It’s early days, they may change them

warm marlin
#

super hard to game properly

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that one was more of a “what if” kind of thing

sly sleet
#

n00bie trying to practice my sub rotation, is our burst during flag/sb supposed to be as high as it is during the opener? Trying to figure out where I'm going wrong

swift tinsel
#

I haven’t looked too hard at the others, the pacemaker is back plus another pacemaker-ish one added

#

The rest seemed kinda meh when I was perusing

#

Uhdk down bad bc no 1.5min for them

warm marlin
#

antenna thing not so bad

#

uh can also play spymaster

swift tinsel
#

Yeah that’ll probs be the play

#

Which one was antenna

warm marlin
#

generic crit proc

swift tinsel
#

Eh nvm I’ll poke around more tomorrow

#

Ohh yeah

warm marlin
#

could also definitely be pacemaker if we end up doing the 3min thing

swift tinsel
#

Too annoyed with too many things, love going to bed like that lol

#

Wait going 3mins is on the table?

#

Yikes

warm marlin
#

no not really

swift tinsel
#

Oh thank god lol

warm marlin
#

just a long shot cook of holding spymaster stacks for 3mins

#

not holding flag for 3mins

#

pacemaker would line up well

swift tinsel
#

Ah so treating it like maghar racial

warm marlin
#

ye

native zodiac
#

i reckon the use of that trinket is gonna depend a lot on the encounters aswell

warm marlin
#

for sure

swift tinsel
#

Idk, not really hyped at all for sub as it stands

chrome palm
#

Does atrophic poison overlap/stack

#

:-)

swift tinsel
#

Might fiddle with sin/outlaw tomorrow

swift tinsel
hexed sluice
#

where are we seeing the loot tables, im only seeing cosmetics and other bullshit on wowhead

swift tinsel
#

On ptr

#

Vendors have most trinkets and dungeon journal has everything from m+ and raid

#

Tier sets are also on ptr but ours is currently scuffed

warm marlin
#

on the topic of how good the spymaster's trinket will be

#

I saw a details of it doing like 4% of someone's damage

#

and it gives more primary stat than a 723 transmitter

#

scaled up

fleet wharf
#

is it if you hold until it fully stacks?

warm marlin
#

33k vs. 31k

#

no just as a 90s macro

#

its 55k if you wait

fleet wharf
#

that's fucking sick

warm marlin
#

if you ever need to hold a bit for mechanics or anything

#

you just get more free value

#

3.7k extra primary on your burst for every 10s held

fleet wharf
#

But i dunno, you don't have anything for your opener, that was really annoying if you were using spymaster in S1

keen dome
#

Good morning. Did they make us more purple on the ptr.

tulip gorge
#

With the new trickster tier sets, is sub going to have an extra dance window due to the extra cdr?

tribal blade
#

it looks like they're giving the kyveza animations to the new dh spec

#

unironically

keen dome
#

No way there is a real DH spec

#

Absolutely no way they'd do that.

tribal blade
#

yeah hate to break it to you

#

i said earlier we better put you on suicide watch lol

pearl swan
#

no sub changes is wild

#

with 8 dead talents

#

ig we pray for them soon

keen dome
#

Well the only image I can find for it is clearly fake

#

so I'm firmly on "Nah, no chance" until I see it actively on the PTR and playable

tribal blade
#

i just had the most classic sub experience

runic trail
tribal blade
#

doing dfc>hey i can play sub>swap to sub>hey there's no sham in the group>swap back to sin

keen dome
#

the killing spree stuff is cool at least

runic trail
pearl swan
keen dome
#

About time they changed it.

#

I'm fully expecting we won't get anything going into 11.2 aynway.

#

And it'll be the same cycle

#

Sub is good on early prog. Sub is fine but nothing speical. We fall off because other classes are stronger. We get a buff to middle of the pack

#

Rinse repeat

#

I imagine it'll just result in less and less people sticking to the spec as people migrate to other things.

tribal blade
#

the trickster tier set sounds sick af

keen dome
#

It does

runic trail
#

I'm just learning sub because I want add damage in raid, also something new might be fun

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

tribal blade
#

i'm gonna play sub on my next reclear

keen dome
#

Assa getting a 90s change with tier is super interesting, too. That's quite a dynamic tier set.

tribal blade
#

because sin's timings are fucking wack right now

#

all the bosses are dying too fast now

dry plank
#

If they give kyveza animations to dh I’m reroll dh

keen dome
#

If they give DH anything it's either goign to be ranged, healing or another suppot imo

#

Because otherwise you are just giving them another DPS spec which competes with Vengance and immediately create a balance issue there. It needs to be something more than just "it does purple slashes and this one does green"

fleet wharf
#

DH getting the 2nd support spec ever in wow history would be pretty ~~interesting ~~weird

dry plank
#

Warrior exist and dh can 🙂

keen dome
#

It'd be like if they added a 4th Rogue spec that used two daggers.

#

I think if they put the time in to develop an entire new spec, it's going to fill a niche that the current class doesn't have.

#

Be it ranged, suppot, healing, tanking, etc.

dry plank
#

Tanking?

keen dome
#

In general, I mean.

dry plank
#

Ah ok

keen dome
#

It's why I think them adding a third spec and it just being Vengance But Purple is unlikely.

fleet wharf
#

But on to the purple theme, the new dagger and fist weapon look pretty cool

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

short radish
#

i find it extremely funny that we have yet another melee spec in the game

#

and when i say extremely funny

#

i dont mean extremely funny at all

#

i mean absolutely fucking stupid

keen dome
#

Also a DH not using warglavies would be funny

runic trail
#

What's the new spec, did I miss this on patch notes?

short radish
keen dome
#

Speculation. I don't think it's real or will exist.

fleet wharf
runic trail
#

Still never playing outlaw but I'm happy for the outlaw people

fleet wharf
#

Oh you mean for rogues in general, yes KS shouldn't be grief to use any more

#

I might give it a go, I finally got enough haste pieces to try it in M+ now

short radish
runic trail
short radish
#

so it wont put you in stupid mechanics

#

i dont get why blizzard is so keen on putting animation locks

short radish
#

i guess its a channel so it's TECHnIcAllY NoT aN AniMATiOn LOCk

#

but

#

they could just

#

make the animation happen

#

while not locking you

fleet wharf
#

just like the charge we had

short radish
#

like it summons shadow clones to shoot pistols or something

summer lynx
#

Do you think well see any changes towars Sub coming? Kinda underwhelming seeing barely anything for rogue over all.

runic trail
#

Also, shadowmeld potion is weird, why not just let us select a racial independent of which race we play at this point

keen dome
#

talent tree of every racial. Unlock them or have themj ust available. Pick any. Bingo bongo winzo

fleet wharf
#

But then they'd lose out on racial change service they sell

runic trail
#

My boy was born a troll and he'll die a troll but being able to racial select would be nice

short radish
molten citrus
#

Not “you move at 20%”

short radish
short radish
runic trail
fleet wharf
#

line must go up

short radish
#

just press sprint beforehand

molten citrus
#

Rogue is already fastafboi

runic trail
#

You want to look different? Here, drop £5 on fantasia

molten citrus
#

So -20% is completely manageable imo

fleet wharf
#

the current race change is a bit overpriced tbf and also pretty annoying to actually go through isn't it?

#

like it's not seamless and you have to redo a bunch of shit even after you race change? I haven't bought it but saw some streamers deal with that shit

tribal blade
#

blizzard is really into micro transaction money

keen dome
#

I doubt it makes a lot. They're going to be making more off people doing it for asethetics than mechanics.

tribal blade
#

it's very annoying

serene notch
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

Also, if they were so determined to milk race changes why would they add a potion doing the effect haha

tribal blade
#

the majority of the playerbase are not doing high end content

runic trail
#

If they dropped like a £5 option I'd be more tempted to use it for aesthetic changes for alts, than at it's current price

keen dome
#

"Damn, we can get 6 people to race change with this change. Think of the money!"

tribal blade
#

i thought at first this was screwing me over being nelf, but now i think it'll still be good having meld

short radish
#

its defs more than 6

#

few ppl swapped to void elf

#

for mugzee this tier

tribal blade
#

meld is always powerful in M+

warm marlin
#

and sprint during it

#

its not a scary button at all anymore

short radish
#

noice

wispy bolt
#

theyres actually no way they make anew dh and give it kyveza abnimations

#

that has to be fake news

#

i will unsub if true

lucid jackal
#

Double coup looks really good for sub

wispy bolt
#

also our tier set looks so good but theres no way we makle it through to live being good in m+ guarneteed not allowed

lucid jackal
#

Exceited to see what the rotation looks like

keen dome
#

Same

tribal blade
#

double coup is making me look forward to playing sub more

#

sounds so cool

keen dome
#

Would be cool fi we can fit another dance in because of it

short radish
#

i am but at the same time i dont want it to be some weird cringe shit where we're holding forever to fit 3 dances into flagblades

lucid jackal
wispy bolt
tribal blade
keen dome
#

The 2p giving us more procs of unseen so more coups is probably going to help.

lucid jackal
#

I think DSM could elad to some neat gameplay too

#

We might go flat SUb with all this CDR and added dance uptime who knows

#

We are going to have soooo much more CDR in the spec

short radish
#

like this current rotation of sub feels really fucking nice and clean

#

send off cooldown

fallow nimbus
#

Maybe 3 dances with cds into just 1 between

short radish
#

only annoying thing is tier set

#

but thats whatever

#

dont want some weird cringe bs where we end up holding for 2 minutes due to trinket as well

wispy bolt
#

no way we make it to the patch being decent at aoe tho. many ptr nerfs incoming

#

if its good

lilac stag
#

Wait for it to be a 30% tier increase and their design goal for tier to be 10% increase only to get gutted week before patch goes live. Pepegrin

wispy bolt
#

assa getting special treament

lucid jackal
#

Can u shut up

keen dome
#

I still wish Trickster had better themeing..

short radish
warm marlin
#

decays

short radish
#

true

warm marlin
#

unless it gets omega nerfed the melee spymasters is tuned absurdly high rn

fleet wharf
#

it's also 2 min we wouldn't want to use it though right?

keen dome
#

Ye

warm marlin
#

and you can use that as a 1min30 too

#

but given that spymaster's survived nerubar

formal helm
warm marlin
#

itll probably just be busted

formal helm
#

fuck this

keen dome
#

Just so much stat

formal helm
#

the thing that kinda annoys me

keen dome
#

Dev's going to absolutely supernova

formal helm
#

is why's one tier so full of good trinkets

#

and then there's tiers where there's only garbage.

lilac stag
#

Last tier shenanigans

#

suffer before that

keen dome
#

Wonder how much the perma-thing will cost or if it'll be in their raid rep track

#

If they do the raid rep track again

hollow spear
#

My money is on melee spymaster getting gigaclapped tuning wise

formal helm
#

but we can cope

shrewd lantern
#

melee isnt allowed nice things

#

besides grieftorch

keen dome
#

grieftorch my beloved

warm marlin
#

dinars again hmmge

formal helm
#

they either cap it or lower the stat probably

warm marlin
#

hopefully

formal helm
keen dome
#

Could they put them earlier this time

formal helm
#

but it was so good.

shrewd lantern
#

i liked bugging it

keen dome
#

grieftoch + bad pugs

#

the best combination

shrewd lantern
#

and doing like half my damage

hollow spear
#

I like that it's main stat though, so it won't mess with our secondaries

short radish
warm marlin
#

im more afraid that there will just be omega competition for the spymaster

formal helm
warm marlin
#

and if sub isnt tuned highly it will be unlikely to get

short radish
#

spymaster is a m+ trinket though right?

formal helm
#

it was just that I hated it doing so much dmg

hollow spear
#

I have to be in bed with our officers

formal helm
hollow spear
#

From the get go

warm marlin
#

like bandit

short radish
#

fuck

#

lmao

formal helm
#

ffs.

keen dome
#

At least we have some nice passive options from M+

formal helm
#

I'm never getting the mythic variant feelscryman

warm marlin
#

there is a hoc lite on use from m+ though

lilac stag
#

It’ll be ok

warm marlin
#

so no more pvp trinket at least

formal helm
#

thank fuck

keen dome
#

Nice

formal helm
#

altho pvp set's kinda nice

keen dome
#

Easy to farm a hero one

hollow spear
#

Sub might like it better than other classes though

formal helm
#

might go for 1.8k for it

hollow spear
#

Because of our damage profile

warm marlin
#

like arcane was by far the best user of spymasters iirc

#

they are the only spec still using it this tier

#

on occasion

hollow spear
#

So even if we're weaker overall, it might put us in competition for the trinket

#

That's my copium take

keen dome
#

I find it funny how the expansion is called The War Within and we're off to another planet now

short radish
hollow spear
#

I mean, look at how good transmitter was for us

shrewd lantern
#

im surprised they didnt bring back seat

keen dome
#

Same

shrewd lantern
#

since ethereals

hollow spear
#

HoC was absolute garbage compares to transmitter

maiden oar
#

if you send flag at 30s on gally can you get it done before the blazes go off or are you just gambling? currently doing the lorrgs timings but with flag #1 at 0:00 so i dont have to gamble since im not greeding blazes in prog

lilac stag
#

Gamba

hollow spear
#

Took multiple nerfs to a trinket with 26 less ilvl

warm marlin
formal helm
hollow spear
#

To make heroic HoC better

formal helm
#

planet*

formal helm
#

I can't fucking write

#

it's too early

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah unless

#

you run to bumfuck nowhere

#

with blaze

lilac stag
# maiden oar ah ok

Just can’t hit the adds when lines come out which is what you should be on

hollow spear
#

Our rl requires us to run to China with that

formal helm
keen dome
#

What if they changed Killing Spree because of the final boss hitbox

shrewd lantern
#

watch him still parry

maiden oar
#

ty

formal helm
#

you'd probably get a fucking loading screen if it still worked the same way

#

or imagine poor healers

#

trying to heal you

keen dome
#

You hit KS and then have to spend 3 minutes running back

formal helm
#

while you dart around a fucking planet sized boss

shrewd lantern
#

you’d probably hit ks

#

fall under the bosses model

#

and die

formal helm
#

true

keen dome
#

Absolutely

formal helm
#

or it'd spawn you 100 m above

short radish
#

cant wait to shadowstep to this boss and somehow load into argus

keen dome
#

I'm certain it was changed because of very constant feedback oni t being shit but

formal helm
#

and you'd fall down to your death

keen dome
#

the timing is very funny

warm marlin
#

hit ks -> teleport into 18 swirls and effects around the city -> come back with 9 dots and "Killing Spree ticking for 27% on me!"

shrewd lantern
#

I mean

formal helm
#

or in some classic dungeon

shrewd lantern
#

i’ve fallen through the floor in upper karazhan

#

with dfa

hollow spear
#

I mean at least on farm they could use you to parse

formal helm
#

true

shrewd lantern
#

someone goes dark iron

formal helm
#

but I think some of my healers would cry

#

unironically

shrewd lantern
#

to secretly get 9 debuffs

formal helm
#

if that happened.

runic trail

And Prophet does more than most of the Sins
