But stacking up to 14 takes too long outside of symbols

warm marlin
#

this was happening fairly often on ptr for my testing

swift tinsel
#

I've been holding onto coups going into 2nd/3rd flags and that's been a good play

#

to bank the sht

#

does outlaw have issues with the EB portion or do they not really care about it either

north schooner
warm marlin
#

outlaw kind of has the opposite issue

#

you don't actually need to press sinister strike that often

swift tinsel
#

ah true

warm marlin
#

so ignoring the trickster tree there would be long periods where you would not press it

lucid jackal
#

Any goremaws cooking

warm marlin
#

get in there and test it guy

#

i believe in you

shrewd lantern
#

remember when goremaw was good (aka never)

#

In legion it was a last ditch energy resource

swift tinsel
#

maybe one day we see it get the sepsis treatment

north schooner
#

they keep unchanged goremaw around in case it accidentally becomes non-garbage after the spec is reworked twice

#

it's like when you hoard old cables/chargers in case they are needed in the future

swift tinsel
#

trust me bro I'm going to use that coax cable

pliant topaz
lucid jackal
# pliant topaz why though

@warm marlin was talking about it. Finality kinda low impact, helps not waste Eb procs in between Cd windows

warm marlin
#

woah woah

#

this is a misrepresentation

lucid jackal
#

Is it

swift tinsel
#

thats a bold accusation

#

Ryldd Goremaws Enjoyer confirmed

lusty epoch
#

guys do you have any tips for bandit mythic? Like general mindset with CDs etc.

I blow everything at pull but then flag comes off cooldown like 20 seconds until next assistant spawns, is it worth holding on for 20 seconds? Feels like flag always ends up in between assistants.

I experimented a little and i did more dps when just blowing cds into boss with no adds, ofc i wasn't playing perfectly but man i'm doing gray parsing... not really had this problem on earlier bosses

lucid jackal
#

I didn't mean like, he was making an apl or whatever, just spit balling an idea

#

Was wondering if that discussion amounted to anything

warm marlin
#

I briefly memed about it allowing you to avoid wasting unseen blade procs between coups and providing energy to make it play cleaner, but i definitely think finality is way better

pliant topaz
#

i can see the vision, i can try different ideas with it once tiers implemented in sims

#

but i kinda dont think so

#

shit does too little damage, resources are completly useless

#

so youre losing finality for it, to gain a dm stack + some damage + save 1 eb proc

north schooner
#

ryldd was blessed by the spirit of ryukagge himself PraygeRapture

swift tinsel
#

just throw out a storm instead of having to see goremaws on your bars

pliant topaz
#

nah

#

storm does way too little damage

warm marlin
pliant topaz
#

i doubts its difference with strike is enough to make it worth

swift tinsel
#

yeah unfortunately, we're likely in an EB waste timeline

warm marlin
#

you dont have the energy to build to 6 before your 2nd coup

pliant topaz
#

its a 45 sec cd

warm marlin
#

ye maybe if it was shorter cd

pliant topaz
#

with 2 pc, your coup cadence outside of dance is gonna be around 12-18 sec imo

#

so youre cooked regardless

warm marlin
#

finality just seems hard to drop with how hard coup is hitting

#

seems like a high damage talent

pliant topaz
#

what

#

coup barely works with it

warm marlin
#

I know its bugged

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's why I was toying with 2/2 finality 1/2 death perception

pliant topaz
#

i think finality is gonna be even less value

north schooner
#

does finality see coup as an eviscerate or a coup?

pliant topaz
#

cuz youre gonna get more coups

#

vs evis

#

ratio wise

swift tinsel
#

idk if its bugged or just how they want the buff to be

pliant topaz
#

and finality is worse for coup

warm marlin
#

how many strikes does it buff

swift tinsel
#

every other iirc

warm marlin
#

because it does generate and consume finality itself from what i can tell

swift tinsel
#

but idr if its split between phys and shadow

#

it was fucky

swift tinsel
#

or is treated as such usually

#

by the game

#

so its buffed by stuff like shadowed finishers

plush roost
#

What kinda dungeon overall are y'all doing in ptr rn anyway? I was playing with a somewhat scuffed group/route and got to about 6.5m overall which is low

north schooner
#

yeah but because it overrides the spell I wasn't sure whether finality considers it a different spell or not

pliant topaz
swift tinsel
#

ah yeah its still considered an evisc

plush roost
#

But I did burst packs for about 20 mil if I'm banked on shadow techniques going in

#

I also found that the second boss of ecodome does his intermission every 1.5min so if you can time flag to be up as that occurs you're cleaving during flag blades on boss

#

Kinda mega

swift tinsel
#

haven't popped into there yet, might try it tomorrow

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

some guildies were talking about doing some testing with me but we'll see if they do

plush roost
#

I need to see what its like

warm marlin
#

if it is 3 eviscerates in a top hat it's probably generating with the first one, consuming with 2nd, not generating with 3rd

plush roost
#

To have skyfury on ptr

#

Probably insane didf

warm marlin
#

idk for sure though

lucid jackal
#

It time for goremaws

swift tinsel
#

unless the first hit of the coup that's cut off is the one that consumed the prev buff, 2nd generated, and 3rd consumed

chrome palm
#

goremaw truthers stay winning

warm marlin
pliant topaz
#

havent looked at it for a long time

plush roost
swift tinsel
#

what I mean is that first one consumed a prev Finality buff

chrome palm
warm marlin
#

oh ya no it didnt

swift tinsel
#

and generated one for the 2nd

#

ah

plush roost
chrome palm
pliant topaz
#

than its choice node

swift tinsel
plush roost
#

Nobody xddd

swift tinsel
#

two eviscs and no finality to show for it

north schooner
#

would the universe collapse if the goremaw build included PV and Lingering Shadow?

swift tinsel
chrome palm
#

gloomblade build bring it back

north schooner
#

forgot Warning Signs

swift tinsel
#

I have my pc set to explode if that talent combo is input unironically

pliant topaz
#

xd

#

get rekt

plush roost
#

Gloomblade warning pv and goremaw

#

Exodia

swift tinsel
#

truly forbidden tech

chrome palm
pliant topaz
#

its basically this :

#

I can see the vision tbh

#

but it just never panned out

#

and also the energy/ haste stuff just was super off base

swift tinsel
#

like the rest of 10.1.5 rework

pliant topaz
#

since energy as a concept kinda got removed from sub

swift tinsel
#

yeah

north schooner
pliant topaz
#

it doesnt

chrome palm
#

when haste doesnt let you do more casts it isnt as good crazy thought

plush roost
#

Should just make subs energy pool 200 and costs higher but harder, make pooling great again

north schooner
#

that's what I thought

pliant topaz
#

its always worse and the extra haste will NEVER be felt

swift tinsel
#

no more casts, no hasted cooldowns

pliant topaz
#

unless you have like 60%

chrome palm
#

all the builders cost like 40 energy

#

i think storm is like 45

#

half your energy for one move

north schooner
#

it's 6% extra haste, it won't multiply shit

pliant topaz
#

i think just too much power has been put into a few talents

#

things like goremaw coulda been cool

#

if energy actually was meaningful

#

no need for 200, it doesnt really solve your problem

#

u just spam 2 extra backstabs and youre out again

north schooner
#

does it have to be energy though? It could empower 3 finishers in a different way, no?

pliant topaz
#

you need systems, gameplay loops that reward that playstyle

swift tinsel
#

could see if finishers worked like ferocious bite where extra energy consumption added damage

pliant topaz
#

if thats something u want

swift tinsel
#

with the finisher energy redux component

pliant topaz
#

ah yes shadowed finishers to buff

#

then finality to buff

swift tinsel
pliant topaz
#

then dance to buff

#

dance macabre to buff

#

sod to buff

#

sod charges to buff

#

dark shadows to buff

#

like okayt i get it

plush roost
north schooner
pliant topaz
#

you go strike -> finish strike

#

refund from finioshing covers the cost of finishers

#

strike cant cost more either

north schooner
#

it could however convert 3 finishers to full shadow damage or something dunno

plush roost
pliant topaz
#

sure, but again, it just depends on what u want from the spec

#

if you have any vision / idea for it

warm marlin
#

what if shadow focus was energy cost outside dance hmmge

pliant topaz
#

which i doubt they do

alpine wraith
#

i want devs to put all the builder talents

warm marlin
#

and not terrible hmmge

alpine wraith
#

and just delete them dont mind if they just leave a blank

pliant topaz
#

again, its all what u want from the spec

alpine wraith
#

you can put this picture there

#

🦖

pliant topaz
#

do u want it to spam outside dance? spam in dance? starve outside? starve inside?

alpine wraith
#

like we had for NS for like 1 year

pliant topaz
#

as long as u have a vision u can make it happen

#

i personally think this version of sub is fine

#

im not that attached to energy

plush roost
#

They should make a button thats identical to backstab but it requires you to alternate with backstab out of cds so i have some varitey

#

Ong

pliant topaz
#

but if its like this, i wonder if theres better ways because energy being like this outside kinda feels suffocating at times (atleast did for me)

#

backstab could just hit really hard but have a x second cd

#

and no need for energy

#

u could get the exact same pattern of button presses

#

but less suffocating feeling of being dry

#

idk

#

it all depends on what u want

plush roost
hazy breach
north schooner
#

I mean, they clearly don't envision sub builders to do much. So why are half the talents (lie) about builders? What is their expectation of those talents?

hazy breach
#

Just not it

warm marlin
#

@hazy breach how much does finality actually affect coup

#

since we were discussing it

alpine wraith
#

it works but not greatly

#

finality might get a bit more power

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Idk seems to have changed since i checked in early s2

alpine wraith
#

old goremaw was almost 900% ap

pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

this one is 300%

#

wonder what would happen if goremaw did triple dmg

lilac stag
#

half backed neutered talents is what we get instead

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

im still so sad we have krangled WM

#

instead of real wm

warm marlin
#

but finality SHOULD be good since evis/coup are such a massive part of your damage profile on ptr

north schooner
#

900% ap is like ~5 shadowstrikes

hazy breach
#

This is from march

pliant topaz
#

oh they changed the behaviour

#

big buff to coup then

hazy breach
#

But evidently your screenshots are different

warm marlin
#

yeah from my logs this month it was not working that way

hazy breach
#

So idk

warm marlin
pliant topaz
#

xD

warm marlin
#

wait

#

is it because you're only showing phys part of coup

swift tinsel
#

The screenshot I post was from ptr last night

hazy breach
#

No

#

I only showed phys because it was easier to see

lilac stag
lucid jackal
#

Stuff like the rotten, gloom blade, and such have always been a part of the spec, despite it being "the big burst" spec

#

Even look at sl with the er big boom builds

#

They were PvP mainly but the idea and pieces have always been there

pliant topaz
north schooner
#

rotten somewhat makes sense with SS and FW for instance. The damage boost is like getting a piece of candy as a treat

warm marlin
pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

Well ye because it works like I described in sims

pliant topaz
#

if its how eleem says (which he says it is) then itll be more

pliant topaz
#

but is sims the same as how it works on live?

#

not even allah can answer that one chief

hazy breach
#

Idk havent checked since i made that post in march

#

Probably some silly version control oupsie got it reverted

pliant topaz
#

would be funny if they had 2 scripts and everytime you called coup, it would randomly execute one of those scripts

#

just to mess with you

hybrid prism
#

@hazy breach What helm enchant do you recommend?

pliant topaz
#

dont tell him, hes only the 2nd coolest connor. imposter

plush roost
#

(this is a shitpost)

warm marlin
#

thats brazy

pliant topaz
#

im armin what

plush roost
pliant topaz
#

from what I know they did tie in the past random events to UIDs based on player accounts

warm marlin
#

oh i just read his name

#

lmao

pliant topaz
#

like i saw a post from shadowlands (before i played so idk) that some raid events were only going on specific players

#

and it was because that player had like idk lower values on something related to their accounts

#

or w/e

#

but idk

plush roost
#

Oh the UID stuff yeah. Being the lowest means you got every mechanic hahah

#

Its not like that since DF afaik

pliant topaz
#

usually if they use something like your account ID as a seed itll be fine but idk they could always fuck it up

swift tinsel
#

The GUID curse

raven maple
#

Heard all rouge specs are looking bad. Chat was I misinformed?

hybrid prism
north schooner
#

GUID-based targeting pepeW

swift tinsel
#

Rogue will be the strongest most handsomest class in the game

hazy breach
hybrid prism
#

ELEEM HELP ME

hazy breach
#

With the boys i push with ive never been in there with my dk

swift tinsel
#

Search your feelings

hazy breach
#

Its always shaman+x

hazy breach
raven maple
hybrid prism
#

what helm enchant do i use

hazy breach
#

Gushing or void ritual, like the pin says

hybrid prism
#

i have been using twilight dev since echoing void was bugged but idk what to use

#

oh its pinned

#

that would require me to have a brain my b

#

is one better for both raid and m+?

#

nvm thats in the pin

#

thx for the help!

swift tinsel
#

Hehehe

north schooner
swift tinsel
#

All of them lowrolled

hazy breach
#

All im saying is our shaman is down there literally 100% of the time

#

Not almost always

#

Literally always

swift tinsel
#

That happens with one of our hunters in raid

#

They get every single ranged mechanic known to man

hybrid prism
#

how much worse is gushing wound in m+? I like that effect more than void ritual

north schooner
#

what I have seen with abilities which use GUID for targeting in the past, is that they tend to heavily favour specific people but still target 1-2 other people occasionally. So it might be that it always favours 2 people in the duels

swift tinsel
#

We have another guy who has to have high rolled his because he never gets shit but his rolls are immaculate and he’s gotten tons of the old mount drops in the game on just a couple of attempts

#

Gmod, mimirons head, alar, invincible

hybrid prism
#

how do i change my icon to trickster?

swift tinsel
haughty mural
#

Feel the trickster

#

Be the trickster

swift tinsel
hybrid prism
#

there we go

#

thanks friends

#

haha

#

soon though deathstalker will be better and ill swap back and be so happy

swift tinsel
#

You say that but I urge you to try it on ptr lol

#

Because you will not think that for long

#

Whatever frustrations there are with trickster tier are objectively worse for deathstalker

#

Unless they stealth fixed mark bug

hybrid prism
#

I do like the trickster play style marginally more but i like the theme of ds better. Plus the mark is a cool concept

#

makes me feel hella shadowy and roguey

swift tinsel
#

It could be cool if not for the bug

hybrid prism
#

ye

#

so would yall choose void ritual to just set and forget for all content?

runic trail
#

Thats what I'm doing

swift tinsel
#

Spoiler I don’t even have a helm enchant or belt on my rogue atm

hybrid prism
#

traitor

swift tinsel
#

I just resubbed a few days ago lol

jade urchin
#

is it just me or does every tset on ptr stink super hard for all 3 specs

swift tinsel
#

I kinda like the fatebound one from the bit I played it on outlaw

#

Sub one is potentially nice depending on what they do with 2pc

jade urchin
#

depending on if we get energy for second coup u mean

swift tinsel
#

That doesn’t come into play too terribly often

jade urchin
#

idk i felt like it happened all the time

swift tinsel
#

And it’s more often building the cp vs having energy to finish

#

Farming a lil bit of sht stacks before the first coup helps tho

#

And depending on how close you are to flag you just don’t send anyways

#

So you can go into it with sht stacks farmed and 2x coup ready to rip

jade urchin
#

fair fair

#

but thats mad annoying

swift tinsel
#

I need to toy around with double on use a bit more

hybrid prism
#

yall like static charge or critical chain?

swift tinsel
#

Though I’m probably just gonna go with execute sigil and spymaster

#

Gonna try and get better logs if ptr doesn’t kick me out every couple minutes like last night

jade urchin
#

im just gonna cope that release will feel better to me

swift tinsel
#

People were dooming hard about s2 set and it ended up being pretty whatever

#

Plus it’s still early and things can change

alpine wraith
#

s2 set was good in spec identity

#

but what we got was fine too

hybrid prism
#

I enjoyed this tier

alpine wraith
#

a bit of an overnerf but what can you do

jade urchin
#

they removed the 30 seconds of rupture last minute tho

alpine wraith
#

we were mid to bad now only mid

hybrid prism
#

I'm just a pugger these days though and usually only clear about half the raid in mythic and go for 3k

#

I'm cool with being mid

#

that means we hopefully wont get nerfed

swift tinsel
#

That comes a week before it hits live

#

Kekw

hybrid prism
#

I'm just sick of all the people on reddit that have rogue ALTS and complain because they can't handle the specs advocating for complete reworks. It's really annoying. The playstyle of sub is so fun rn

swift tinsel
#

Yeah forums are like that too

#

That plus Xaeth and Mafic arguing

jade urchin
#

i think the only thing about rogue thats unfuin to me rn is killing spree

#

the live version that is

hybrid prism
#

it pisses me off so much. like just because you cant handle the sub cooldown window doesnt mean we have to completely rework the spec so you can have an easier time on your freaking alt! The actual rogue mains are pretty content with what we have right now. They can kick rocks

alpine wraith
#

sub cd window is argubly the hardest it has been kinda these last years

#

you have to do dmg for almost 30 secs

#

global by global

#

before you had some setup and timing

#

but it was 5 secs

#

or 8 secs

jade urchin
#

and thats fine because we have other specs in the game that are the opposite

#

diversity is fun

hybrid prism
#

Yeah, its awesome and so fun

#

i would be super pissed if it changed

#

if you do it right, you freaking pump. If you do it wrong, you are cooked and a chump

#

so are the sims also wrong on echoing void? it is simming half a % better for me

hybrid prism
#

oh i see. The sims are bugged at showing higher than it actually does in game. TY.

#

y'all taking static charge or critical chain?

jade urchin
#

autopilot crit chain

#

no think

hybrid prism
#

So i've got a 671 jastor diamond, ritual bone band, and a 681 crafted ring. The sims are saying to use the bone band with the crafted ring and not jastor with it. Does that sound like the call?

haughty mural
#

If robot tells so

jade urchin
#

we trust robot

hybrid prism
#

beep boop

haughty mural
#

I sit on double crafted ring atm because robot told me to

hybrid prism
#

you can use double crafted?

jade urchin
#

ye

haughty mural
#

Yuh

hybrid prism
#

like 2 ring of earthen craftsmanship

#

?

jade urchin
#

yes

hybrid prism
#

what the hell

haughty mural
#

Yup

hybrid prism
#

i have no clue

haughty mural
brittle plinth
haughty mural
#

One crit/vers and one vers/mastery

hybrid prism
hybrid prism
jade urchin
#

if it tells u to not wear jastors u prolly have enough mastery

#

but sim if i unsure

brittle plinth
#

They ain't gonna change much cause of reddit. They would look at low player count and think something might be needed but it won't be cause of reddit.

haughty mural
#

I believe so yes

brittle plinth
#

Heroic jastor isn't all that good based on my sims

fallow nimbus
#

Does our new set work on the ptr?

jade urchin
hollow spear
#

Myth jastor is 9k better than a crafted ring for me

brittle plinth
#

9k is worth it for the ilvl increase

graceful crown
#

i tried sub for 1 month and had fun, but i was so used to the rotation of outlaw, that having 30s of doing just ruptures in pulls waiting for cds to comeback to do real damage... is ugh

brittle plinth
#

That 0.01 ilvl

graceful crown
#

still an honorable spec tbh

#

skilled

brittle plinth
#

It feels like im driving on ice

#

It really is a fun spec that is poorly designed in all the right ways

graceful crown
#

yeah haha

#

i had a fun season with outlaw

#

sad i had to stop at 17s i didnt have more patience waiting for keys in pugs

brittle plinth
#

I'm waiting to finish my 3k up before diving in deep outlaw

#

50 points off

graceful crown
#

fight! :)

brittle plinth
#

Have my dbl tfury xmog ready to go on my weapons in my bag

river hedge
#

How strong is Ratfang Toxin for Sub? Bloodmallet is saying's it's not great and the guides also say the same thing, but sim are saying not to replace it with any other trinket of the same ilvl.

brittle plinth
#

What's your other trinkets

#

There's a lot of missing info

river hedge
#

I have house and junkmasetro's mage magnet.
Running 8/8 hero, upgrade all equipped gear to the same level, patch 5 min.

#

If it's ok I can throw the sims into chat

hazy breach
#

I mean magnet isnt fantastic either

river hedge
#

Like I know eye does get value after 6 mins, but shouldn't be the only trinket out of say hotline, seaforium and stuff

hazy breach
#

Most trinkets are fairly well balanced as your second trinket

#

Would generally just recommend pacemaker for most things just because it requires no extra thinking

river hedge
#

I know most classes do enjoy pacemaker, but the sims are putting it as a 6,5k dps lost or .3% over cards and ratfang combo so just was a bit confused on that

fallow nimbus
#

For me it a tiny bit worse than the goon squad but not having the lust effect is like a 5k downgrade

hazy breach
#

Ratfang isnt available at myth track and most recommendations are based on the highest ilvl available

#

Especially now that dinars allow you to buy a guaranteed myth pacemaker once youve done all 12s

river hedge
#

True on that. This toon still needs to work up to 12s so working mostly on heroic upgrades into mythic stuff. I'm sure the sims would be difference siming for a mythic trinkets.

#

But I'm also seeing the small upgrade from the hotline only giving me like 200 extra dps. So maybe the sims are right?

brittle plinth
#

Ratfang isn't objectively bad but the on use would be hoc which is better. Do you have any passive ones?

#

I guess objective is the wrong word, it's not great but two on-use makes it worse.

hybrid prism
#

how much mastery is too much?

river hedge
#

No sadly some what just started gearing this rogue up. Why I was doing drop sims to see what I would want to hunt for. If I was going off bloodmallet and the guides I wouldn't mind the thug hotline just to not have so many clicky trinkets.

brittle plinth
#

Can you target floodgate 7+?

river hedge
#

That's a hard maybe. At worst I can kidnap people to run me through 12 floodgate XD

brittle plinth
#

That may be helpful too, since I believe anyone can roll on it?

river hedge
#

As long they are dps and not a caster I think so

brittle plinth
#

If you got 12m friends who can also roll on it, you don't even need to time it

west tide
#

i feel like we gonna be good

river hedge
#

Time to cash all those healer favors I've been stacking XD

polar vessel
#

hello, I have a problem everytime I do a +7 target rotation with storm and powder I deal a lot less damage than just basic backstab eviscerate rotation

#

maybe my stats could be the problem since I'm only 661 but I feel like I already have a solid stat distribution with 19k mastery and 16k vers

#

do you guys have any idea why

chrome palm
polar vessel
#

no sorry I don't have any logs I've only done 10s and 12s for gear, I'll log some keys where packs don't die instantly

#

alright I've pretty much spammed storm instead of backstab so I'll fix this next time ty

#

but yeah it's not even close when I press powder instead of evis

chrome palm
#

You still use storm to build outside of dance

#

instead of backstab

polar vessel
#

yup I got this

graceful crown
#

man, there's always something new to learn with sub LOL

#

i always learn new things

chrome palm
#

but in dance with symbols you want to consume the first stack of the rotten with backstab or shadowstrike and then the next builder in 7+ should be storm to spread find weakness

#

find weakness makes your black powder do 30% extra damage as shadow (shadowed finishers)

#

assuming that youre running the standard m+ build

polar vessel
#

ya for premeditation also right

#

I think I am

#

but still that wouldn't explain the difference between evis and powder rotation

#

I'll just come back with logs 😄

graceful crown
#

what's the difference between the normal build and the dark brew one?

#

like dps wise

chrome palm
#

dark brew build sims higher but only because TFD's value is not reflected in dungeon slice

hazy breach
fleet wharf
#

I was messing around a bit on the PTR, but shouldn't deathstalker's mark work a bit differently for sub if they want us to ever take it? llike both backstab and shadowstrike is so shitty for us. Like wouldn't this be a lot more exciting if it buffed our next finisher instead?

lucid jackal
#

Deathstalker was good in s1

fleet wharf
#

Wasn't it only usable on pure ST only? like it was barely better than trickster iirc?

chrome palm
#

It was 3% ahead in pure st

fleet wharf
#

oh, that's not insignificant

chrome palm
#

So still better on fights like bloodhound horror very late in the tier on reclear

fleet wharf
#

why not also on kyveza?

chrome palm
#

Also on kyveza

fleet wharf
#

i guess there was a fair number of ST fights last tier, Sikran too

lucid jackal
#

This is a near 0 ST tier so

#

We just play trickster on everything

#

It's not like its 30% behind or smthing

#

Its probs like, 5% at most, if anything

fleet wharf
#

but isnt deathstalker also way behind even on ST fights?

lucid jackal
#

It might be better on pure st, legit duno rn

fleet wharf
#

oh, no one tested it huh

random hare
#

i did

#

trickster is very good numerically from when i tested on st, gameplay is quite shit, but its eearly so we cant know

#

sub is always good early on

#

st is super super high in m+

fleet wharf
#

until they buff us with 3 weeks left in the tier

random hare
#

actually i lied

fleet wharf
#

then we're gaming

random hare
#

sub isnt super super high

#

mage does 1m more dps

#

but mage is mage idk

#

they're doing 4.5m st

#

their tier set is crazy

#

its nice to fit double sectechs in 1 dance

#

legit a coup pump simulator

#

feels rly bad that coup costs energy

#

that should be changed

#

because sometimes u cant even cast the 2nd coup due to low energy

#

but thats only in st and when u cant send a symbols

#

happens quite often in m+

#

it'll be fine in raid tho

tepid trellis
#

time to pool energy for double coups

#

the real energy mingame we have all been lookin for

random hare
#

btw stealthi

#

theres a trinket better than the one we had in s1

hybrid prism
#

my 671 energy drink is simming higher than my 671 kezan and pacemaker. guess were going with that for my second trinket until i get a 684 pacemaker

random hare
#

the orb one

#

forgot what its called

hybrid prism
#

which i think will be better but who knows

random hare
#

we got a spymaster trinket

chrome palm
#

Oh prism

random hare
#

when i checked the amount of agi is very similar

#

i think the new one is better

chrome palm
#

The damage effect on that is also higher than any other trinket too

random hare
#

by a good amount

chrome palm
#

That is gonna get nerfed for sure

random hare
#

also

#

the new trinket is undersimming

fleet wharf
#

i think it's even m ore than what the transmitter gave if you'd scale it at 1.5 min

random hare
#

its like spymaster

#

so

#

it wont be nerfed

chrome palm
#

I mean the damage effect might get nerfed

random hare
#

idk about that

chrome palm
#

It did more damage than the soul hunter trinket for me

fleet wharf
#

i thought it was mostly a stat stick

random hare
#

maybe

random hare
#

u need to be aware of that

#

so

#

it is definitely op i know, but i dont think it will get a nerf, low chance imo

#

because its like

#

trying to be a normal trinket

#

but in real gameplay, mechanics and downtime etc buffs the trinket alot

#

and makes it op

#

cuz it ramps

chrome palm
#

I’m not sure how good it will be since you don’t have the on use for opener

warm marlin
chrome palm
#

And you don’t get stacks outside of combat in m+

warm marlin
#

Which is still very good for that kind of trinket to be clear

random hare
#

we'll see how sims

#

im sure it'll be great tbh

#

but ye might be shit since it starts at 0 idk

chrome palm
#

Atleast we get 2 trinkets we can use this tier

random hare
#

honestly u know what

#

i think sub might play double on use

chrome palm
#

Maybe we use that and the forge master trinket

random hare
#

ngl

#

the 45k agi and the 55k agi trinket

#

use 45k on opener, 55k on 2nd window

#

45k on 3rd cd

#

55k on 4th cd

#

could be very good

#

ngl

#

@tepid trellis thoughts?

warm marlin
#

Definitely an option

tepid trellis
#

Doubt

random hare
#

why

chrome palm
#

Also the spymaster type trinket lasting for 20s

random hare
#

or?

chrome palm
#

I thought the stat on use was for 20s

random hare
#

idk i dint check

tepid trellis
#

Passive trinket available would have to be actual garbage

warm marlin
#

Running a second on use griefs your spymaster window

chrome palm
#

But that would let you maybe fit 3rd sec tech in?

#

Idk

random hare
chrome palm
#

Probably not

warm marlin
tepid trellis
#

They Will Tune Them

warm marlin
#

The execute one has potential

random hare
#

HOWEVER CHAT

#

listen for this one

tepid trellis
#

Its early ptr Pepegrin

random hare
#

there's an op delve trinket that gives 30k mastery, be ready to wait for that to be at 15 stacks so u can send ur cds

#

and u all know what 30k mastery means

#

double ur dps

#

passive btw

chrome palm
#

Is that the overlapping one

fleet wharf
#

is that a new trinket?

random hare
#

new delve trinket

#

idk what du mean by overlaping

fleet wharf
#

surely I'll get it week 1 and not 13

random hare
#

it just stacks ramps to 15 stacks then 10 seconds of 30k mastery

chrome palm
#

One of the passives has a stat proc that can overlap

random hare
#

so sub rogues will play around that im sure of it

#

its also agi main stat

#

so its great

chrome palm
#

Pray that it procs before adds spawn

random hare
#

30k mastery, 20% uptime in m+ btw

#

super great in m+

#

cuz it gives stack per kill on any mob

#

ngl

#

i think the 55k 45k agi trinkets will be good together too

#

might be rly good ngl

#

because the 55k agi ramps to 3 mins

#

so its legit perfect

chrome palm
#

I wonder if the forge master one is better if you hold for 2nd dance in blades

#

Since you lose primary with every ability

fleet wharf
#

it's kind of weird, because spymaster was only good if you were able to juice it up all the way. on shorter fights not having a trinket on opener really sucked

random hare
#

u send double sectechs in first dance window

#

its super op

chrome palm
#

Without tfd?

random hare
#

tfd is about to sim very wild

random hare
#

if u pre ramp i assume u can

fleet wharf
#

btw can we get better weapons in PTR or what? I haven't used PTR much in the past

random hare
#

pvp vendors

#

they scale with ilvl in m+ and raid

#

so np

chrome palm
#

That’s why you’ll see super low ilvl trinkets from ptr vendors

#

Cuz they just get scaled

random hare
#

cant wait for raid tests

#

to use my dmg abuse gear

#

and do 10m pure st

#

i love ptr

#

i have a trinket that sims 10% dps gain over the bis sin trinket rn

#

one of the op old trinkets

chrome palm
#

They’re gonna nerf us pre season again 😭

random hare
#

xdd nah dw its guild raid we dont log

mystic minnow
#

Is there a reason people are using TFD in raid? I thought the reset macro didn't work on bosses?

brisk onyx
fleet wharf
#

if the fight's below 5 min it's better than weapon master from what I understand

random hare
#

tfd is very strong thats why its worth even in long ish fights

brisk onyx
#

Any cocked @random hare

tepid trellis
#

Sims equal or better on shorter fights

random hare
#

weaponmaster is essentially useless

mystic minnow
#

heard, ty

random hare
#

or what stealthi said

or u mean cooks

just dont want it fixed pre season

#

cuz its kinda cool

pearl swan
warm marlin
#

I despise variance and avoid these proc trinkets whenever possible

#

Idc if it’s slight dps loss on average

swift tinsel
#

Caps at hero track too

random hare
#

the stats it offers is way too high in comparison to any other passive trinket in the game

#

its incredibly overtuned

swift tinsel
#

Have you seen the execute one

random hare
#

30k mastery is alot, idk login and check ur mastery and you'll know what i mean

swift tinsel
#

Yeah but getting it to proc when you benefit most is tricky

#

Bc you have like no control

random hare
warm marlin
#

yeah it’s turbo amount of stats but even with the extra uptime in m+ from mobs dying it’s still only 20%?

random hare
#

no u literally see

#

when it procs

swift tinsel
#

Yeah but the stacking isn’t like spymaster

#

Assuming you’re talking about void stone

random hare
#

u literaly see the stacks idk its easy bro

#

ye

warm marlin
#

but you can’t sit there and hold blades for when it procs

swift tinsel
#

I tried getting it to line up and it was annoying

random hare
swift tinsel
#

Bc you literally have to babysit it

random hare
warm marlin
#

It procs off auto attacks too

random hare
#

do u see what i mean?

#

thats literally

#

another flag window

#

on top of a flag

warm marlin
#

You can’t hold it for cds

random hare
#

so

#

ur sending double flag's

#

at once

#

xd

#

thats r1 sub gear full bis

#

19k mastery btw only

#

imagine 30k

#

thats like

#

100% mastery

#

xdd

#

im sure sims will do sketchy stuff

#

its way too broken op atm

warm marlin
#

You can hold dance for it for sure

random hare
#

i did 10m pure st no raid buffs on sin rogue with it btw

swift tinsel
#

It was proccing at like 2:45 for me

random hare
swift tinsel
#

When I was testing it

warm marlin
#

But then how are you also holding coup

random hare
#

idk maybe u stop dps

#

and let it sync up for 3 min

#

u have so much cdr with coup anyway

#

so why not

#

u just snd snd snd

#

idk

#

we'll see

#

im sure the most fuccked up logs will have it on

#

im also sure it'll get nerfed but who knows

warm marlin
#

yea it will giga highroll sometimes

#

I hope it’s nerfed personally

random hare
#

30k mastery is way too stupid ngl

#

like

#

its fun af

#

i like it cuz

#

for M+ its strong

#

i love m+

warm marlin
#

I wish pacemaker didn’t scale like dog

#

4k crit at 723 ilvl

#

💀

random hare
#

💀

#

anyways

#

for those who think its bad idk rethink how good tfd is

#

because

#

i think this is just as good

#

cuz if it lines up once entire fight its already huge dps gain imo

#

but idk we'll see

#

i didnt raid with it obviously so im not sure of it at all

swift tinsel
#

Idk I’ve been liking double on use

#

Send 1.5min on opener, spymaster at 0:30, 1.5 at 1:30 then have a 55k mastery buff for 3min flag

#

Plus all the cosmic damage procs in the meantime

#

I’ll try out voidstone when I get home and see if I can get it to work

warm marlin
#

When I was trying it it seemed very difficult to work with

#

You have to full stop auto attacking and I’m somewhat sure even rupture can proc it

#

Didn’t seem possible to hard hold it for cds

swift tinsel
#

Rupture and poisons/autos did for me before

#

So it might be literal 180 away from boss lol

#

It’s too azerokk to me imo

#

Do you guys know when SecTech calcs its damage? Is it as soon as you press the button? or is it after the 1.5 sec time delay? Only ask cause sometimes I send my second SecTech in my burst window with about 1-2 sec left in Shadow blades and it seems a bit lack luster.

warm marlin
#

blizzard has asked for feedback on tier sets

#

i provide absolutely devious yap session

warm marlin
#

they prob never read it or do any suggested changes but oh well

#

fun thought exercise

swift tinsel
#

so if the first hit lands in dance and the clones don't, they don't inherit the damage bonuses

weary crescent
#

oh ok thanks! So i need a solid 3 seconds left of shadow blades for it to get all the damage amp from it

swift tinsel
#

same with blades

#

the clones hit 1 and 1.3 seconds after the phys so as long as you have 1.5 sec left you're good

short radish
weary crescent
#

ok thanks haptics

short radish
#

it's funny that the solution of "allow stacks to go past max consumption" just makes life so much easier

#

aka add charges

swift tinsel
#

@warm marlin how high are you able to burst on ptr atm

warm marlin
#

ye it really solves most of the issues

short radish
#

adding more symbol charges

#

adding secret technique charges

#

we even had that with combo points

#

could go up to 10 but consume 5

warm marlin
short radish
#

good times

warm marlin
#

im playing with no flask no buffs and full new ptr gear so stats are wonky

#

was like 30% vers

swift tinsel
#

ah yeah same lol

#

80% mastery, 28% vers

warm marlin
short radish
#

Not exactly a tier set specific issue, but having Disorienting Strikes active before combat (e.g., from trash or a prior pack) drastically impacts your opener.

no don't tell them that Sadge

#

now theyre going to fix it (like they didnt already know)

warm marlin
#

well

short radish
#

honestly surprised they hadnt patched that yet tbh

swift tinsel
#

are you popping any trinkets or anything in the opener

warm marlin
#

i explicitly didnt mention doing cringe stuff

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

ah

warm marlin
#

just like "oh oopsie had disorienting from trash hehe haha"

swift tinsel
#

I'm holding it to max it for 3min blades

short radish
#

raid leader still wont give me 53 second pull timers

#

its so jover

swift tinsel
#

but I'm gonna try just macroing it to blades

warm marlin
#

someone asked for a 2min break on gally this week and like 4 of us hearthed out to get the stupid flower buff and i took the chance to also get my disorienting

#

we then insta wiped

short radish
#

flower buff?

#

ugh

#

i hated insta gally buffs

warm marlin
#

you get 3% crit for 2 hours (lose on death)

short radish
#

wtf

#

no wonder my parses suck

warm marlin
#

we ofc 2 pulled sprocket gally mugzee this week

#

so i lost it every time

short radish
#

i think im just forever doomed to not get a sprocket parse

warm marlin
#

i posted a picture briefly

#

our sprocket buyer this week refused to jump off

#

he just ran around with the polarity

#

he knocked our tank around

#

he blocked us out of melee

#

he killed people

short radish
#

yeah

#

thats acutally wild

#

how did you resolve that

#

or just power through

warm marlin
#

thankfully he ate a beam on the second pull after forcing half our melee to drop 8 globals straight in lust

#

so we killed like 30s slower

tribal blade
#

2 changes i would want to see if letting escalating blades stack beyond 4 and put UB procs on storm too

#

those 2 things

The last 12 key i need is priory and once i finish it i can replace my 671 energy drink with the 684 pacemaker and that makes the rogue cloak from catalyst better than my 684 trashmaster mantle. So i can finally get rid of that piece of shit when i can time this 12

you can do it 👍

so you can just skip with shroud or invis potion

like a proper human being

just remove skips from the game

short radish

#

i legit can't believe they put meld into a pot

they can also put maghar orc in a potion too! oh wait...

tulip gorge
#

I want dwarf in a potion PepeLaugh

tulip gorge
#

what if they just made shroud stronger than true sight

tribal blade
short radish
#

what if they just deleted true sight from mobs

tribal blade
#

make it so shroud ignores true sight

tulip gorge
#

so shroud is stronger than mind soothe

short radish

b-b-b-b-b-but then you'd need to have a rogue for every key

how will mages find a group now

tribal blade
#

you mean you can't do half of the pulls right now without vdh and boomy soloing the cc??

#

this has become a rogue staple btw

#

"it's too powerful on rogue"

#

and then they give better versions to other classes

short radish
#

rogue having an aoe stun is too powerful

#

no other class has aoe stun

tribal blade
#

off the top of my head

#

sub loses combo

#

then a bunch of other specs get massive funnel

#

they put truesight on half the mobs because shroud is too powerful

#

then give priests no cd mind soothe

tulip gorge
#

remember when mind soothe ignored true sight

tribal blade
#

funnily enough priests kind of can get around true sight

#

with fade

#

i still remember priests soloing every single cage in brackenhide

Good ol Brackshots

oh they took away aoe kidney because it was "too strong"

now look at vdh cc

or boomy

wasn't aoe kidney an aoe 7 seconds stun tho

yeah but very easily tuned

by cutting the aoe portion down
