and it is why we see more content re-use than ever before
yeah
ffxiv is weird because they somehow seem to coexist as the two largest mmos without massively competing for the same player base
Its still going?
its still there
i wouldnt call it an active mmo though
FFXIV fanbase overlap with WoW fanbase as a venn diagram would barely touch
you mean the one one of the big guild leaders who streams a lot on twitch did say will kill wow?
new world kind of just exists to fund the lotr mmo lmao
people thought Aion would kill WoW, same with Swtor
that will also be ass because its the same devs making the same mistakes
that aged as well as milk in the summer sun
or 'insert 50 other mmos' here'
swtor couldve been big ngl
one of the kings of hot takes gave a hot take
its actually a really good game
there were a lot of wow killers
wow has been killed like 10 times by now
just not given the resources it would need to thrive
yeah I liked the gameplay but it just didn't have enough to compete
only Blizzard can kill wow
and they're doing it slowly
Blizzard managed to kill Cata with content droughts 2x, don't underestimate them
The problem is, you rly need to improve on multiple things to get people to play something not blizz
the class stories were fantastic, as just a star wars rpg it is a great game
the blizz fandom is extremely loyal
stockholm syndrome
and many stay within the blizz ecosystem
I think its not only that
for ppl in my generation, Blizzard is synomous with quality and games made by gamers for gamers. That hasn't been true for decades but its hard to shake the first impression.
how much of it is people being loyal to wow and how much of it is just every mmo release for the last two decades being ass
Seeing the blizzard logo triggers some nostalgia for me
like genuinely the last mmo i can think of releasing that can be considered big atm is like
eso
and that was a decade ago
New World had a massive launch
a lot of mmos have massive launches
its the cycle
and my perception of blizz has changed to "it might be a good game but I know I'm going to get frustrated with it pretty quick"
throwing in the ol WC2 CD and seeing the blizz logo 🧑🍳
There are certain other factors to it.
- The Warcraft Univers (not thanks to world of wacraft tho) is a generally loved one, there are few others with similar large fanbases.
- Many alternative games are either too close to WoW or too diffrent to appeal.
- Many players are not MMORPG players but WoW palyers, so they will stick with the game even if the formula does not change or the content amount and quality is low.
hype up your new upcoming mmo as the best thing ever>content creators ride the hype wave for a quick buck>game releases and everyone realizes after a month or two that its massively overhyped and does nothing good
new world did have a fantastic leveling experience though, i'll give it that
was a fun one
titans quest is a good classic if you like arpgs
@vale pine this looks like it's working for topgear

What's that
the changes should be in
so you should not need the overwrites
but
It still works:

same in top gear
the warning is mostly to make sure you don't do things accidentally
looks fun! I'll have to give it a try when I get home
now I wanna play Gauntlet too lol
gauntlet was turn based iirc?
they were hack n slashes
oh okay
I think it started as an arcade game but had some console ports in the early 2000's
would bike to the movie theater as a kid and play bc they had the cabinet there lol
looks a lot like roguelike
It was a game that was coin op in the 80s
Green archer needs food badly
I only know a few arcade games
Stoneage and Metal Slug are the ones i remember being the more popular ones
oh man Metal Slug was so much fun haha
its a bit of a shame that stone age did just die out, i found it to be a somewhat unique ip
think Caveman Ninja was the original title

We’re back in the distant Past, wh...
there seems to be a reboot even
i only knew because we had this one (and probably still have) at one of our bath beaches.
Idk if we have any arcade games around here besides the literal arcade bar another town up
did you know that you get cp from storm when you hit nothing but have sht stacks?
all these years of playing
you don't get cp if you hit nothing (to my knowledge)
macro
did you hit a critter
no
hm, will have to look into it when I get home
test it, autohit something, make sure nothing is around and use storm
interessting
will need to test that tomorrow ^^
aka being batman is fun 😄
Works for me aswell.
to be fair it kinda does say that. But i always thought i would need to hit something for it
right, since the attacks don't generate combo points unless they hit something
interesting development
Did a 10 minute target dummy session, forgot to turn logs on 

In terms of damage breakdown, this seems about right, yeah? Nothing seems massively out of place.
looks pretty normal
Sweet, thanks! Did have one cooldown window where I pressed flag and then my brain just completely forgot the rest of the sequence.
happens to everyone lol
But, its feeling a LOT more consistent
nice! glad things are clicking more
Its a fun spec, need to actually take it into content now, because executing it on a dummy and executing it in a raid are completely different things.
Any ptr enjoyers check to see if our tierset works?
Hoping to play sub keys today on ptr
Crit on evis is too high, minus point for too much luck
I'm in my sin gear, my stats are a bit fucked
At least for sub purposes
How much crit do you have rn? Absolute number.
Not a massive issue but yeah, I've got like 15 sparks and a couple hundred gilded so I might just craft some replacements
I also have pacemaker so, that number will be boosted a fair bit of the time
2,400 vers 
I am sitting at 10k crit rn#
i hit a dummy for 10mins because i was also curious, seems like your unseen blade/melee/shadowstrike especially are a bit high and sblades/evis/sectec/coup are a bit low
your haste is the issue, not the crit 😄
Yeah, but I have the rik neck on at the moment so, I'm just gonna get a crafted neck
maybe munching a lot of sht procs in cds so you're shadowstriking more
or lack of mastery ya
Cos thats 6,200 haste
My mastery is a bit lower than I like it, but I'm geared for sin and the robot told me to stop taking mastery
And I trust the robot
For some reason my vanish sometimes resets details
Did that for me a bunch on dummies, hit vanish, instantly back in combat before I could get a shadowstrike off
I'm prob gonna send some crafts, if I craft some vers/mast necks and a vers/mast ring it came to like a 4% increase
3.8% even, but yeah.
Yeah, pretty decent
I like vers anyways
It adds up and gives some decent DR
I am at 12% DR just from vers
Yeah, so gonna sort that out, but at least the rotation is looking like its in the right order.
I just need to not forget how to function when I press flag
yeah, that doesn't get affected by stats
I also need to find a friendly shaman for a buff, because apparently that alters the feel of the spec a bit?
skyfury buff is quite large yes
especially over a 10 minute period it is going to amount to quite a bit of extra cdr/energy
Yeah, so wouldn't mind trying dummies with that for a bit.
I really need to bite the bullet and take the sub spec into a raid, but I really don't want to do that without being comfortable.
over a span of 10 minutes from my little test it probably amounts to at least 1 extra dance worth of cdr
maybe 2 if unlucky
precisely why I keep a shaman parked at the org dummy on an old separate account lol
get skyfury at lvl 16, gg
don't need an active sub
Whatever the default is
200 sub/assa 150 outlaw
technically 250 is like the lowest you should go
depending on how fast you are mashing your buttons
if i make it higher than 150/200 i start having odd things happen, which, while should not be the result of spellqueue, go away once i decrease it
just means you really have to press your stuff fast to queue it
how much do you have ?
16,950
around 19000
Seems balanced with vers
I just need to fix my 2000 vers probably 
yea that would be a pretty big issue
I'm just gonna send a few crafts and I'll be chilling
im back at the point where pacemaker proc + alc chaos rolling crit can make my maghar racial roll crit but sims don't want me to swap so 
the extra stats in the tfd triple dance opener in lust though 
from alchemical + tempered?
ye
True
But cba seeing a haste proc
But I should swap some time to alchemical for bigger bursts
are the updated belt values already implemented or do I have to override still?
ptr down?
REEEEEE no sub content
well maybe they fixed tier set
fingers crossed, logging in
Hopefully!
Hell yeah!
did they change the buff at all
!wa
I thought it'd take them another week
time to go through the bug list
two coupes one dance not bad
still wastes a stack tho
well
yes
will check some more, but had a reset proc during 5sec buff
and when I cast 2nd coup I had zero
bro this extra cdr feel so good
makes the spec way faster. I wouldnt be supprised if the current tier 4p would turn into a hero talent in 12.0
very true
it would not be first time they got inspired with talent change by tier set
what kind of trinket i play anway, the stacking one and what else
1.5min dungeon or sigil
I assume the new house of cards from the new dungeon and then the spymaster
the new hoc is not avaible isnt it
its from the dungeon that's testable today
well you can now grind it in the new dungeon in testing 😄
Oh are you guys on the ptr
oh shit
yeah tier works
I thought changes were out
ds bug still makes that set feel bad
tbh just play pacemaker 😄
does GB work with coup?
the energy cost part?
Wait they fixed it that fast ? 
the extra coups in flag feel real nice
not 100% sure on double dance between each flag, will need to play a bit more
Are we fast as fuck boys now ?
ya
also the extra sod uptime for shadowcraft feels pretty necessary for non-flag dances
Its def faster and you can just send more cds on cds and not worry to much about cdr
also holding coup imo doesnt make sense except its right before dance just send it
Hell yeah
I need to install ptr tomorrow and test
holding a double coup for flag is juicy as fuck
bc you also stack sht so you can omegablast
I'm liking this a lot lol
Still no indicator on 2p resets right ?
nah its the same as thousand cuts resets
But you can get now triple dance in the opener
you don't know you have it until you see it proc
Does unseen blade truck now as aswell ?
With shamy buff you get easy 3 sectechs into the flag window
you can probably 4x sectec in opener with triple dance right
I see
yeah 4 is like getting rn on live 3 which is more lucky.
but 3 is np
with tfd it will for sure be easy
Sandbag a bit more pls
we're gonna get nerfed anyways gonna have some fun while I can
Before they gut it again
yeah ofc tfd is like cheating kekw
but idk if we play tfd
depends on fight length I guess
but yeah only gripe is EB waste during 5sec, they fix that and the set is golden
tfd stonks are so high rn
I like WM picks up at like 3 min before that tdf is better
15mins
yeah
maybe exaggeration but still
in the opener its insane
def agree stonks are high
tfd sims better on 5mins for me
on live?
yes
yeah it was originally like 3-4ish but Eleem fixed stuff in sims
thought was still 3min
with predisorienti
now its closer to 5
I chose the right time to try out sub
meh i played it on mugzee too
I'll do a bunch of dummy logging tonight and get a better idea
Idk depends on if we go into finality+dB for more coup damage
Then tfd is really hard to get usually
It's fine probs my guild only hits mechanics walls, not damage ones
double finality would be cool too
testing that rn and removing one symbols charge
How would the tree look if we did that?
since you have so many cds already
Like the rookery build?
drop danse time
Would make coup less annoying 
or sth like this
Remove it during ptr to hide our power level
Is the plan
Then just turn up week 1 and annihilate things
I mean, if we look at other specs' tier set it generally looks like they're going for broke
So it's not like our stuff is out of the ordinary
This season we're also not cursed by having a turbo trinket like transmitter
well they gutted enh 2p
yeah
They'll definitely have to do some tuning
good lol
yeah but first of all I am happy that not like in 11.1 we have a working tier set during ptr cycle
Still unsure how they'll deal with fatebound tier set for sin
thats a 
that shit looks omega busted
Yeah, props to them for the quick fix
haven't touched sin on ptr yet, might give it a go tonight
Could lead to dry dances 
On 5 min?
Yes
no triple symbols with extra cdr 
doesn't fatebound still do 0 in aoe
By they way: how do we sim pre disorienting strikes?
I think ive posted it here so you could probably look through my mountain of messages for it
(im on my phone so cant copy it for you)
Okay, will have a look tomorrow when I'm not on my phone 😅
raid_events+=/buff,buff_name=supercharge_1,first=0,cooldown=999999
raid_events+=/buff,buff_name=supercharge_2,first=0,cooldown=999999
raid_events+=/buff,buff_name=disorienting_strikes,first=0,cooldown=999999
I’m sure it’s searchable
Cant copy from my saved simc profiles
throw in expert mode
well that is also presymbols
but if ur doing disorienting might as well
Give em tricks
Not still on vacation are you
Pre disorienting is still a little unreliable for me, but eh
surely we dont play that cooked db build
WTB pre disorienting baseline
what exactly do you mean? Kinda like dh prestcking cycle?
trueeee
It doesn’t have a duration so you can Sectech and save the 2x ub
You hit sectec on trash before pull and don't backstab after
this is my guess personally but maybe PE is just goated
2 free ub on pull
Ugh PV
Ye pe is really good
how much % is that?
Not much, gets stronger with tfd afaik
Make imp sht choice node with shadow focus
PE into swift death
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Might just be what i linked but 3x symbols instead of db
Well see
ty
at least we can test 4p now even if its not on simc
Brother i wrote that like 3 days ago, ofc im still away 
🇮🇹
also a 4p that is imo fun
I’m actually pretty excited to play around with timings now that it works lol
All the more reason to stay away from cursed DS set
I will test pooling like you have never seen before
Dude I literally auto attacked for 20sec sitting on double coup into flag
spec is so fast rn idk where to pool and if its worth
And I’m not afraid to double that
Wym gamba fiesta was stellar design
That you could entirely ignore and was basically indistinguishable from playing around it
i dont need to stress about it is super chill
all i care about is to not use coupe outside the dance now
Should I be trying to spread nimble flurry in aoe pulls?
its funny how were are excited about fixed ptr tier set when we play assa on progress anyway :))
maybe
I could see with this tierset pooling an option and during pull get to 3 stacks of unseenblade and some shadowtech stacks
could be some oldschool stuff
coup go hard
Can’t really spread it
Unless you can find a way to be in multiple places at once
you just do damage to one target (mostly the one with the highest hp) and blast roughly above 7 targets its worth to bp
I wasn’t sure if I should be get it on one target and move on to another target once it is applied. I’m only asking cuz like when I play demo I have to spread doom around in a similar way so I was just curious if I’m suppose to be doing that as well
Ah, nope. It’s just automatic
No maintenance required to nimble besides keeping up flawless form buff on yourself
With outlaw's damage profile, I'm not sure if we'll ever have an outlaw tier
Good spec should be a tank spec
Could you already compare the average coups per 5 min with and without tier?
Can probably compare logs
Or just take a retail log and double the coups to get a rough idea
And add a few more from the extra UB
I’m gonna look at it later
also, EB insurance would be nice
But is what it is
geico might have that
Yeah, extra from two set and extra from cycling through sectecs more quickly
Might record video of testing to better check how many stacks get wasted
Bc I’m curious to see
And it might be worth mentioning in the impressions article
theres no way you can consistently double dance between flags
maybe like 2x dance 2x dance 1x dance
or no skyfury is really just destroying my cdr
Yeah I couldn’t get it to double either, gonna try with skyfury and see if that’s the key
Even then I think it might be super tight
raid buff is next week right?
Idk if it’s possible with 1/2 death perception
Even with skyfury
@warm marlin Are you testing with pre-disorienting
Or no prepull shenanigans
nah i just sent it
my raid time is soon
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is tier fixed
Hell yeah it is
Coup can now be cast a second time but still blocks EB from stacking for the buff duration
actually though i think this one does have a good chance of being fixed
bc they're already looking at outlaw and how killing spree interacts with trickster
yeah, that's what I've been hoping for
switch from 4 stacks of EB on a 5sec buff to a separate buff that enables Coup without affecting EB so it can still stack during 5sec buff
because it 100% eats resets/procs
which isn't great
maybe the 30% UB damage buff from the 2pc is to offset that lol
even though you lose Coup casts over time
@hazy breach vexie is just not possible
we push at the wrong time every week and just take forever to kill 
time!
the pirate alt is getting mugzee this week
Hopefully gally done this week
I ran pirate in lfr rep run. Gally is hilarious. Just stand still for KS then randomly teleport
losing ~7-8 UB per 5mins after a couple tests, gonna look closer after dinner
anyone know why sectec dam would be significantly lower on log than details
are you comparing a log/details of cauldron, bandit, or mugzee
if you are a long distance away from the logger (on any fight, but really only cauldron this tier) akaari's soul will yoink your sectec damage
have to log yourself or be on the same side as the logger
log yourself before you rob yourself
#GripIsNOTaRaidBuff

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
follow up question lets say i was logging myself but the other is already public is it gg
nah just also make yours public
turned my 83 into a 97 bless you
servers do be shittin themselves
picture this
sprocket buyer
tell them to tag and jump off
they do not jump off
and run around knocking people around for the first 45s
legit just sprinting around the boss
@hazy breach so this just happened
and we limp to the finish line and kill it anyway
I bet one of your range paid them to do that.

Do we still need to paste those new coefficeints to SIM the belt properly?
Unluck
Skyfury is roughly 8% more CP, so its fairly noticeable
i didnt notice i kept collecting mastery
without skyfury I'm like
30 seconds off from being able to double dance between flags
need to dial in a bit
one of the worst things about playing w/o skyfury for me is i can feel it in the rotation
also 1/2 death perception kinda works
and it makes me mega tilted
which I didn't expect
and i play worse
in DB build?
nah just 2/2 finality
ah i see
the last time i tried using 1/2 depth i was capping dance charges in aoe
tfd makes opener feel great
ah I'm just doing st testing atm
1/2 feels a little less smooth bc you don't have that buffer charge and you end up waiting maybe a second or two for like the 2:20 dance but the rest are actually decently tidy
i feel like 2/2 depth lets you have more control over where you can send dances kinda
a bit yeah, with the extra cdr from tier set though you feel less restricted on dance usage
you aren't like
swimming in dance cdr but the extra bump helps smooth things out
almost like adding extra cdr to deepening would be nice...
I'm gonna play around with 1/2 DP but I'm liking it so far
might give PV+DB a shot too
the inev uptime though helping fill out cp during non-flag dances for the 2nd coup feels nice though
so I'm hesitant to drop it for pv to be able to go DB
bc you def feel the energy bottleneck trying to send 2nd coup at 6+ so sometimes I just send with w/e cp I have at the time
Yeah its def possible, need to see how big 2/2 finality and/or db boosts the extra coups
tfd though is a big winner imo
and its possible it beats WM in even longer than 5min fights because it helps your opener even more
oh i forgot finality buffs coup
yeah it gens and consumes it
if you drop inev you can't drop deeper daggers to get db
does sectec hit adds if you cast on gally during intermissions
otherwise you cut off dark shadow/danse/shadowcraft
PV is very stinky and I don't want to take it ever
if PV is under WM, our talented tree will be much more reasonable
so I'm annoyed its essential to get db without sacrificing both points in death perception
yup our talent tree is so cursed
unless that's what you meant by under wm
it's terrible
you can't really maneuver around
that's what I mean
Like imagine if PE/WS fed into Swift Death instead of Shrouded in Darkness
Imma photoshop my own tree that makes sense in my mind lol
personally I love 100% speed
Oh yeah its really useful for sure, I just think its in a strange spot
or rather, it and swift death's proximity is odd
totally agree
maybe swap it with quick decisions
also there are too many SL conduit shit
100%
need rework
or azerite traits
personal talent removal wishlist: shadow focus, imp shadow techniques, warning signs (unless we get haste interactions but please no), weaponmaster, pv, lingering shadow, goremaws, night terrors/terrifying pace, shuriken tornado
Find Weakness
which would then open up shadowed finishers to be something else like full shadow damage finishers during dance or always
which would require nimble flurry to not be mitigated by armor
otherwise its cursed
they would just change nimble flurry to 70% if it's not ideal
yeah that could def work too
okay so pre-disorient pre-supercharge tfd opener feels fuckin gnarly
holy
with 1/2 DP you wait on sod for 5-7 seconds sometimes but besides that its not notable worse gameplaywise
but the extra coup damage is notable
how does the cdr from the extra coup work? does it just cast as if you had the same # of combo points as the 1st coup?
you have to build cp to cast it
which can get annoying when its outside dance
ofc this guy would know, guy never hits gally

yeah, essentially
you get a 5 second buff that's just 4 stacks of escalating blade
idk why i was thinking like it was a double coup back to back without having to generate cp again lol
to good to be true
been noticing ~7-8 wasted EB stacks so you lose roughly 2 reg/2 bonus coups per 5mins
honestly as long as the extra bit of dance cdr is enough to where you dont have to delay your flag/sb for those times where you have to move off the boss and you're not generating cp
sucks when you have to move off for a bit and flag/sb come up but your second charge of dance is still at like 40-45 seconds
Man, I’m glad I’m not learning this now for the first time
I did see some of you casting on boss
Most ethical rogue
you do actually 0 boss damage if you're full casting sectec on adds though
My guildies thought it was very funny how much damage sin/sub gets on that 7 min spawn
our bm hunter was dead for 90 full seconds and still beat me on boss damage
Are they still perma boss targeters
think so idk
I just remember their cleave being so bad they just tunnel vision the boss
fuck this is why i lost.
I just want a full reclear man, my gm keeps calling raid after last 3 so he can play poe 😭

Lmao
It’s funny that
The 3 min spawn I seem to do about as much as the previous spawn
Even though it’s just double dances instead of full blades cds
you need to cast that one on adds too btw
when you cast on gally the clones use the center of his hitbox to cleave
You mean the 4 min spawn?
no 3mins
No fucking way hahaha
if your tanks arent perfect grouping it super fast
your sectec will miss half the mobs
Ok then
again though
your boss damage will be turbo inted
like you cast more sectecs on adds than boss
Shhh
But
That increases the likelihood of seeing 7 min add spawn
If boss dam is lower
@warm marlin I wanted to ask
Since you like to hold vanish
Do you think it’s worth to keep spamming backstab at max cp instead of just autoing
For UB and winning streak
yep
calculate about how much dance cdr you get from 2 full cp finishers and how long until you'll be flagging, go to 7cp, spam backstab until about 5s left, rupture vanish ss flag rupture
Or like do the vanish thing if you have coup guaranteed or like 4-5 winning streak
Aha
no way all of you were sectecing boss
I kinda thought I wasn’t gonna get trolled by blizzard but
At least at this point I’m glad the clones don’t all fall down the gallywix hole
i think its near finished on gallywix anyway
with extra 3% i expect we start skipping 7min adds soon
It’s time to start tricksing your ret paladin
maybe there's a world you can recover by inversing the 3min 4min cds and flag the 3min double dance the 4min
but the 4mins just die insta
Pay off a guildie to accidentally die
cauldron is also cooked
we killed before my 3rd flag today
and we had a buyer and -1 spread cleave
near exact 3min kill time on rik, vexie, cauldron, 4:30 near exact on bandit, no more 7 min adds on gallywix
truly joever
did you try sectech as first finisher in dance? feel like it leaves more time to get both coups in dance
i kinda like the idea of holding the third dance after opener to chain dances back to back with new tier set
since you sit on so many stacks of flawless form from double coup
if you hold until next recharge is ~20s it feels pretty good
so uh
for critical chain do you just finish the delve or you gotta do something in there
is crit chain the disc we use for m+?
finish the delve

tyvm good sir
Whoever didnt try the new sub tier set be ready to not be able to cast the 2nd coup due to low energy

Amazing gameplay ngl 
And i thought s2 tier set was so bad
Then we get double coup shit fest

i thought the coup would also be free to cast
No
Unless ptr had weird ass lag, i had many situations where i couldn’t cast 2nd coup due to low energy
Ofcourse that only happens outside of cds
But ngl maybe we play a different build anyway
Is relentless strikes working properly with coup on ptr ?
Also thought it’ll be free
Haven’t had time to jump in ptr yet
Pressing coup once is already cringe because the delay DMG eating cold blood and shadowcraft so I'm sure 2x coup is very fun
How is your coup eating cold blood ?
If you coup into your cb secret technique

Just press coup and then cold blood after you should see cb be used
Vs doing reg evis into cb
Is that a thing? I assumed cold blood would work on your next casted ability and not things that are already in motion
If it isn't a thing I'm smoking crayons
That is the worst
Queueing builder in SB
But sht refunds perfect time after coup to screw you
14 cp builder np
the design philosophy of sub is apparently "delayed abilities"
well kind of yes
but the way you word it sounds a lot worse than in reality
when designing combat, you only can do so much to make classes distinct
Which in reality means you usually have on a very abstract level one of two concepts
I can see us pooling energy for a sec to yank out double coup consistently
You either only have little cooldowns, weak cooldowns or very short ones.
In which case you just use everything on cooldown
or you have impactful cooldowns, which will lead to stacking them
yet this is not either or but usually a mix
subtlety is more on the 2nd option, and it means we benefit the most from trying to stack cooldowns as much as possible
nah i meant delayed as in "Press button and damage comes out 1 second later"
oh
well thats more or less relics of the past
secret technique was designed this way back at the start of BfA to replace DfA
It's criminal is what it is
DfA was a multi part attack, and this lead to interesting gameplay
so this concept was kept, however secret was way easier to understand
Weren't there also some cases were bosses could just move away from your shadows?
Hell yeah
I'll actually try sub in heroic raid on Friday, so it is time to panic, fuck up and then die
I did mythic and I played like shit on gally
First time though
I'm guessing wowanalyzer doesn't work for sub
It says I didn't use shadow blades or flag right once
Apparently it's unsupported
Figures
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 off 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.
Thanks buddy
So the perma double dance between bursts dream is not alive with new tier?
Or is it in skyfury prison?
Any idea where to get daggers on ptr?
Need someone who's just as degenerate as us
pvp vendor
Ty
When are buff scrolls coming back, pls, I beg
coup is absolutely blasting with 2x finality
Ur the famous bingus
idk about famous
What point do you skip for double finality?
dd and inev -> pv finality
eleem suggested PE over tfd and rs earlier that i might try as well
but im kind of a tfd enjoyer now
coup doing that much is wild
huge
but we should compare comp+evis to estimate the buff
since it just turn some evis into coup damagr
Huh, I've been running a build using the rotten instead of finality, I may need to sim that to see if I should swap
im not super impressed by the damage so far
earlier on live i was doing like 2.1 on dummy no buffs and im doing like maybe 3M now at 715 ilvl
Yeah just checkout our damage profile with new tier
What was the jump from s1 to s2?
639 to 678 initially I think
What did we do on the dummy end of s1?
At least pre turbo boost
Oh I thought you meant ilvl. In my defence, I'm uncaffeinated
no, you would naturally not rly get in such situations
Decent defence. I currently don't let caffeine enter my sacred temple.
Can I enter your sacred temple
I remember doing ~1.2m unbuffed on dummy
I probably drink too much but its fine probably.
Maybe with a good gally parse
Who needs breakfast when you can sub it out for a healthy mix of caffeine and nicotine

it also seems its genuinely possible to proc coup outside of cds, coup at 6cp, then be unable to build back up to 6 before the 2nd coup expires
obviously you would just send the coup before then but it doesnt feel great
I need a decent gally parse on sin but the adds just got insta deleted by others. So it's just, OKAY, I HIT BOSS I GUESS
Sin has really good burst on gallywix for the 3 and 7 min add spawns
Imo
Can try cloaking the giga whatever and starting your ramp early
And then nuking 4 min set
5 min dummy on ptr: 403 applications of flawless form
5 min bandit kill on live: 164 applications of flawless form
Yeah I just... Didn't hold at all.
Wonder how much of that is from the 2pc
Maybe we arrived at the dawn of energy pooling?
Better off pooling sht lol
Could be
But yeah, it was the prog kill not the reclear, so there's time to optimise. I was fully focused on just surviving and killing that goddamn goblin
Having to cast 1 feint with tfd up in a dungeon
-100000 globals
is there a set of dummies I can log
Can you get your 2nd sectec into tfd if you pre disorienting with new 4p?
On live it kinda overlaps and clones usually hit during 2nd dance
with tfd almost certainly
er
with skyfury
i can do it sometimes without
skyfury + lust definitely
playing tfd is maybe a bit dubious with the spymaster trinket though
I use a different opener for tfd with no shadoeblades
it's like ss-rupture-sd-backstab-evis-ss-sod-sectech
Why? Because of the backloaded nature of the trinket?
I'd argue we could still use it as 90s trinket
There's quite some options to sim
well tfd specifically only affects the first flag blades of the fight
and you have 0 spymaster stacks for that one
so ur basically -1 trinket
Maybe! We return to Dragonflight-era
New hoc on pull, spymaster directly after - hoc on 2nd flag - spymaster on 3rd flag
Maybe spymaster at 20s to get 2 stacks
Big value triple dance
i dont think pooling even matters
a 7cp coup already refunds like 60 energy
its really just that even assuming you go to exactly 100 energy after coup
thats enough for like 3 backstabs at most before the 5s timer runs out
symbols and shadowcraft gives you enough energy
Ig that could lead to us ignoring the cp rules
so you don't rly pool
Use 2nd cp before it runs out, no matter the cp
ye we were talking about coups outside on cds on ptr
have noticed you dont really have the energy always to build to 6 before the 5s timer runs out
and if you greed an extra backstab and dont regen the energy to press coup itself in time you just lose the coup 💀
oh ye
Greed kinda costly there
for sure you just press at low cp
Pissing away free cp and flawless stacks
This season "just one little evis" -> tier set stacks gone.
Next season "just one little backstab" -> 2nd coup gone.
Maybe its time to goremaw so we have energy + min 3cp?
that just made me want to put a shotgun in my mouth
goremaw is soo expensive
you would have to give up a point in finality thats amping all the coups or a symbols charge or something
coup is slapping though
goremaw so we can send back to back coups 👀
Exaaaaaactly
yeah someone else can test that one 
it wouldn't no

this will truly be the most cursed timeline if we play goremaws
but hacha will be happy 😉
no way
unseen blade = shadow blade
What would you even drop to take it though
deez nuts
finality def
yeah I guess finality for raid but M+? rotten?
fuck find weakness
sub in m+ 
always rotten for M+
assassination is about to have absolutely bonkers prio and burst in M+
i haven't been on ptr yet, but i can smell it
It can HAPPEN, stranger things have happened!!!
this tierset is also pretty cringe for aoe i think
like youre going into a pack
and casting sectec coup coup
when are you casting bp
on large aoe
mm so it's forcing the target cap even more
also i cannot get logs to work on ptr
its just logging random people aoeing near me
instead of my dummy
i might be stupid
Found my favourite kind of guys for the day
try to sneak in there, yellow is close enough to green
Haha
Silly keys are the best keys
I did do a all monk + rogue key in DF that ruled
Sometimes on my druid I'll set up random all tank keys
We don't need a healer
Don't need damage
@runic trail aren't you the resident expert on dummy logging rn?
Ah yeah
Considering it took me 10 attempts to get it to work....
Absolutely not. 
time to untalent sectec
I just went to the dummies in silvermoon, nobody there
But you got it to work!
we're gonna have to apologize to lashga for his untalenting sectec cook
!
I don't know how but it vaguely works I think
also holy unseen blade doing work there too
ye im almost wondering if
pressing ss with a guaranteed unseen blade
is better than eviscerating on 6
Until he buys boosts end of this season. Again.
True
should point out this is with the PE cook and not tfd
still hurts my soul to see PV talented
Hate PV
Yeah, it does
Spec goremaw, I dare you
i would rather cast coup at 1cp
if nimble was soft instead of hard capped sub would be banging in aoe
Can't be nimble when you're hard 🤔
iseewhatyoudidthere
target caps are a bit weird tbh
@warm marlin have you tested fatebound sin?
hoping it's not on par with sub as a 1:30 rogue spec
could see this for raiding, for m+ we probably still want rotten
not a huge sin enjoyer
fair enough 😉
Nah, we don't hit enter every two words
rn mostly because i dont like getting parried
and i feel bad for my other melee getting parried
for sure was a st build
dw the 1 sub rogue note will be them fixing parry bug
god i hope not
if we had a 2nd rogue or someone willing to alt sub i would play assa again in raid and get some variety
but i am my guilds only rogue and not a single person has a rogue alt
I don't know, can't play sin for long stretches in raid
It's decent in m+, but feels completely ass in raid
i think every single raiding rogue is in this position haha
Nah we have 2
And also 3 dks and 3 demolocks

SHEEEESH
Your roster is something else anyways
holding 50% of the rogue population right there
At least we moved on from having 4 eleshams last season
So... Baby steps
Deleted mid response 
Not an expert on shadow stats, but probably more the play than the gear
yeah found out that I had it in my bag xd
didn't see it get there
It happens!
