#

Any thoughts on the other sets for a primarily m+ player?

vale pine
#

The set is stronger on single target than in AoE, does not mean the spec is bad in mythic+

#

just saying

young roost
#

Ahh yeah sorry should have been clearer I meant the outlaw and assa sets

vale pine
#

Best is to ask in the outlaw/assassination channel

#

but if you want to know what to play in the next season

#

you are out of luck

young roost
#

Yeah no one responded...was just curious..thank you

vale pine
#

if you did not start the game this season

#

you probably noticed

#

how every ptr cycle gets multiple balance passes

#

and usually balance tuning first or 2nd week of a raid

#

asking "what is good in m+ in the next season" is kind of irrelevant

young roost
#

Yeah man thanks...was just asking my free time goes in waves...didn't see much in the pins in terms of initial thoughts..was just trying to catch up.

vale pine
#

so i wonder, do you plan to push high keys on ptr?

alpine wraith
#

we might get more wins out of changing some plays

short radish
#

ptr push keys is where the content is

young roost
alpine wraith
#

it is quite interesting

#

although escalating blade is annoying

#

and resets of course are random

vale pine
#

The tier set is numerical good

alpine wraith
#

and you cant know when they happen

short radish
vale pine
#

it has little gameplay impact

#

we might end up with marginal changes to the secret sequencing

#

so the initial thoughts tl;dr:
Trickster: Strong set, good burst (unseen blade reset could lead to some min/max possibility)
Deathstalker set: Still good, but not as strong as trickster, but deathstalker also plays worse and the set has 0 gameplay impact

short radish
#

also fuck deathstalker sub

young roost
#

Sweet thanks guys

vale pine
#

why is the 2p 50% on assassiantion but only 30% on sub?

#

My assumption is, its because we can play dark brew

#

but we probably won't because we want inev for higher symbols uptime

#

inev + 4p feels weird with pandemic in the 90 sec cooldown window when you dance back to back

#

so there is that too

plush roost
#

Tying the tier set to symbols was such a miss

vale pine
#

(it also does not pandemic correctly atm)

young roost
plush roost
#

Its just not how sub plays currently you lose so much value

vale pine
plush roost
#

Dance makes so much more sense

#

+2 seconds dance now we're cooking

vale pine
#

exactly

#

you can tune the dance duration + and the % bonus

#

but we will see

#

currently its just

#

"you already have 60% symbols uptime"

runic trail
#

I'm still figuring that boss out, either I send on pull and have to weave around the dodge or I send post slam and cooldowns come up right as intermission kicks in

vale pine
#

"lets make it 70%+

plush roost
#

Designed for assa and sub was afterthought

vale pine
#

i mean its just numerical strong on assa

#

being 50% vs. 30

#

assassination ideally wants to have the fatebound set competitive

#

so they can switch between 90 and 120 sec cooldowns

plush roost
#

I mean 2 seconds on shiv and progressing your marks inside shiv makes sense and allows for more DN shivs

vale pine
#

oh yes

plush roost
#

It makes sense as a tierset for assa is what i mean

#

As sub it really doesn't

vale pine
#

i mean it might be that they designed it for assa first

#

and just wait and see how good it is for sub

plush roost
#

Ye and sub was the afterthought haha

vale pine
#

a lot of design decisions feel like that

#

from recent changes

plush roost
#

I mean it could be good for sub, of they make the marks do enough damage to justify it but man is it weird

vale pine
#

it still does not fix one of the baseline problems

#

of just not having enough cdr on dance

#

trickster is just designed better

#

for subtlety

plush roost
#

Yea its why i think darkest night should reduce dance cd by x amount

#

Would solve all issues

vale pine
#

they could just buff the cdr

#

and also lower storm energy cost

#

would make the rotation not feel bad in aoe/cleave

plush roost
#

Return to df season 2 8)

vale pine
#

to a degree yes

#

but just a litte more cdr would go a long way

plush roost
#

Yeah idk, just wish ds sub was more viable cause i do kinda like a lot of the minor nodes on the tree

#

Like singular focus and momentum

#

The shadow step cdr as well

runic trail
#

Could change the tier set to make symbols provide like -5s off of shadow dance cooldown use instead maybe?

plush roost
#

You really feel the diff between sub and assa on OaB for example

vale pine
#

I don't like DS sub

#

it locks you to the target

#

adds additional constraints to e.g. dots

cloud rover
#

For bosses like Silken Court, Queen, Cauldron

vale pine
#

the damage profile is "more baseline damage" instead of focusing on giving damage during cooldowns

cloud rover
#

Probably not as bad on Sub, but for Sin it was annoying

vale pine
#

dance allows you to switch targtes a bit more comfortable

alpine wraith
#

and you forget that it also needs more uptime

vale pine
#

every annoying thing in wow is a "layer of thinking" if you want to look at it this way

alpine wraith
#

hunt them down is like 10%

vale pine
#

e.g. the RS bug

#

could also say "it adds nouances to your multi target rotation"

#

when in reality it was just annoying asf

runic trail
cloud rover
#

Making sure, you spend all Deathstalker Marks on Queen before intermission

#

Becuase otherwise, you didnt have your Hero Talent in P2

runic trail
runic trail
#

Though I eventually ended up just straight up not vanishing during my second cooldown set

#

Just for consistency

vale pine
#

Subtlety has less problems with spreading mark

#

^^

runic trail
#

How's it applied on sub? Still through ambush?

vale pine
#

strike

runic trail
#

Yeah, much easier then!

#

Shame the hero talent has all of the other jank

vale pine
#

its just, deasthstalker is in general worse for sub than assassiantion in design

cloud rover
#

I mean its just the Natur of Hero Talents

#

They just didnt make good ones on Rogue

#

that synergize well

vale pine
#

i still think

cloud rover
#

with both Specs

#

Except maybe Trickster

vale pine
#

it would have been better if they made 1 hero talent per spec

#

each spec has one which they played primarely

#

assassination - deathstalker

#

subtlety - trickster

#

outlaw - fatebound

#

each of these talents could have had more focused talents if not shared

#

shared tier sets, shared talent trees

cloud rover
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

like the enirety of TWW philosophy

#

of making stuff for multiple things instead of more tailored stuff

cloud rover
#

Yeah the Tiersets of Undermine

vale pine
#

it just makes the design space smaller

#

because specs are by design not similar

#

even if assassiantion is now a lot closer to subtlety in design than it was historically

#

you just can't do as much if it needs to work for multiple specs

north schooner
#

it requires effort they didn't spend

#

and for rogue's trees that is extra the case

vale pine
#

you can pmuch input a lot of things instead of "hero talents" and it would still make the statement sound ^^

merry agate
haughty mural
#

But it made sense

#

Unforch

north schooner
#

hero trees requiring specific talents is one of my least favourite aspects of them

vale pine
#

how long it took for KS to get fixed

merry agate
#

Trueee

vale pine
#

it was like "this will chage during beta"

#

and its now

#

"well last season of the xpac, maybe we should fix it now before the next milestone"

north schooner
#

nothing wrong with having an ability which is literally unusable on some fights garf_sit tie it to a hero tree

runic trail
north schooner
#

"sorry guys, realz made me do it"

runic trail
#

All I'm saying is, if they didn't want to get knocked into the shadow realm, they shouldn't have gotten assigned to a different colour than me

vale pine
#

there is a certain title for people who did not use KS pre rework:
||Skill issue||.

#

(its a joke)

north schooner
#

it's true, wowhead comments said so

#

and then of course you have people asking for the "iconic" (I'm thinking of another word ending in -onic tbh) teleport aspect of it to be back. That's some stockholm syndrome right there

vale pine
#

make it a glyph

#

problem solved

north schooner
#

there probably hasn't been a single expansion where the teleport aspect wasn't causing issues

vale pine
#

hey

haughty mural
#

People live in the past with rose tainted goggles

vale pine
#

i mean wow is a nostalgia game, it is outdated in most areas and people sitll play it

#

classic is worse

#

streamers still play hardcore classic every time it releasses

runic trail
#

Classic levelling is a vibe

keen dome
#

It's so funny

runic trail
#

I just hit 60 and roll a new character, it's so chill

haughty mural
#

Not for me 😦

vale pine
#

i mean, i am weird in a way

runic trail
#

Probably heavily nostalgia based but original azeroth is legit my comfy place.

#

It feels like home

keen dome
#

My classic experience was sitting in Stormwind trying to get an invite to deadmines as a rogue, and after 30 minutes I realized I could just sit in Dornogal and not get invited to M+ instead.

merry agate
#

Just hope we get some changes and new stuff maybe 🤔

Reading thru development notes and seeing rogue section is depressing

But hey thats just rog experience kekdog

keen dome
#

They should start putting emojis in the rogue section

vale pine
#

Think its diffrent for everyone

haughty mural
#

I can’t stand autoattacking mobs for a minute before I can press smth again only for my cps to be gone after it died

runic trail
merry agate
runic trail
haughty mural
#

But that’s just me

cloud rover
vale pine
#

e.g. if i watch a movie, even if it was great. I have no joy watching it again for a long time.
Same goes with games and other media like books

cloud rover
#

I liked levling in Wotlk, Cata Classic too

vale pine
#

classic for me just has no nostalgia even tho i played wotlk

runic trail
vale pine
#

so while its chill and relaxing for others, its just tiresome and grindy for me

cloud rover
haughty mural
#

It’s pretty much the same for me fuu

#

I also played before wotlk

#

But it has not much really much nostalgia for me

keen dome
north schooner
vale pine
runic trail
cloud rover
#

Which is probably the best Version of the Game

vale pine
cloud rover
#

and a really good DLC

#

But after i was done with it

#

I felt such a great void in me

#

i decided to just start again

runic trail
cloud rover

Music as well, sometimes it's just... One song on repeat for a while

vale pine
#

Think thats nothing bad, it makes everyone unique ^^

keen dome

Hell eah

Bis sp game if you like the setting

cloud rover
#

Real

#

and true

sacred yarrow
#

thank you for the read, fuu!

While there is an improvement over last season with the new tier set design, I would like to return to the old design philosophy of more unique effects for each specs. Shared bonuses seem to limit the design space and make many of the bonuses feel the same.
This hurts once again, streamlining rogue specs is ruining the fantasy :(

short radish
fervent elm
#

hero talents in general are like "they made this for this spec and then decided to give each spec an extra hero talent option"

i mean cmon

#

Deathstalker with assa
trickster with sub
fatebound with outlaw

Riders with Unholy
San'layn with Blood
Reaper with Frost

and so on

tight bloom
#

Trickster is not really sub oriented when you read the description of the spec

short radish
#

honestly could have given sub fatebound

runic trail
short radish
#

i'd rather sub fatebound than sub deathstalker

haughty mural
brisk onyx
short radish
#

i mean with ghostly strike anyway

#

and bte

#

it make ssense that outlaw doesnt want to swap targets

#

????????????

#

wait

#

does DS outlaw acutally make sense

#

or is my brain too cooked right now from work

brisk onyx
runic trail
short radish
#

we're going full circle wiht combo points

#

deathstalker feels like "what if we brought back marked for death but made it worse"

haughty mural
#

Don’t let hacha hear this

#

Im also glad specs getting new animations (: heard DK lacked those Kappa

north schooner
#

what's an animation? here's a smidge of purple poof

vale pine
tight bloom
#

Ye sure, but to me, fatebound (by essence) and trickster (with the description itself of the spec) are outlaw oriented

#

leaving sub with "deathslaker" but sharing it with assa (as fatebound for assa is a nonsense both spec/lore wise)

warm marlin
north schooner
#

dunno about fatebound being outlaw oriented

tight bloom
#

Well, it's somehow related to "fate"

north schooner
#

it seems like some cult thing with "magical" aspects given the cosmic damage

last ether
#

Honestly I feel like Assa itself is kinda all over the place... Deathstalker makes sense for someone specialized in assassinstion but assa itself feels like "haha daggers go everywhere poison bleed everyone brr" KEKWait

tight bloom
#

dont tell me roll the bones are not under "fate"

last ether
#

But I'm also a bit of an assa hater

north schooner
#

the rng nature of the spec does fit outlaw yes but that's where I feel it stops

last ether
#

Pirates like flipping coins thumbup

north schooner
#

shooting beams of cosmic damage feels weird

#

trickster on the other hand feels a lot closer to outlaw because they both feature athleticism and dirtiness

runic trail
vestal escarp
#

OL would hate deathstalker

#

Simply they couldn't play DN

mighty citrus
#

i see a lot of people play first dance in raid. is there something around it or are the few secs more danceuptime once per fight just so good?

runic trail
#

I've heard 4 minutes being touted as the tipping point

void hound
#

class specific tier sets died cause of hero talents

#

common hero talents L

north schooner
haughty mural
#

So tfd pulls ahead in shorter fights

mighty citrus
#

can you somehow reactivate tfd in a fight? i guess no right, even if possible not doing something is not worth i guess

warm marlin
#

You cannot exit combat on raid bosses no

mighty citrus
#

seeing all those people using bs in a dance makes me angry as well. currently looking for minmaxstuff

#

but i hate this so much

#

how could some dev think this is a nice think to do, its fun to play

hollow spear
#

Idk if I'd blame the devs for that

mighty citrus
#

yeah it might not be intended

#

thats true

#

but numbers turned out to be better like this

hollow spear
#

It's us being degenerate and doing cringe stuff to get another 0.4% dps

#

Danse Macabre naturally stacks quite well with our kit, we just try to squeeze it more

north schooner
#

even if it is intended, it's not degenerate imo. Degenerate is what you have to do with deathstalker to make it work

mighty citrus
#

i guess you all have a seperate keybind for bs which does not switch in stealthbar?

#

or whats the recommended way

north schooner
#

whatever works for you, I actually use a different bind for BS out of stealth and in stealth/dance

#

since for dances you only press it once

warm marlin
#

1 = backstab in dance 2 = backstab outside stealth, ss in stealth and I just eat the stance delay rarely

north schooner
#

there is also that macro that combines dance and backstab

mighty citrus
#

can it trigger dance double by accident? or this is not possible in general

north schooner
#

no

#

you cannot dance in a dance

mighty citrus
#

then this is maybe something

#

thanks mate

runic trail
mighty citrus
#

yeah my musclememory has std bs ss on 1

#

i try the macro

short radish
#

i have a separate BS/SS bind because of the ol stance delay bug

#

dunno if thats still a thing now

alpine wraith
#

i have backstab outside of stealth

#

bar

#

crazy i know

warm marlin
#

Most of your dances start with backstab anyway

#

So your bars are updated by the time you would be pressing ss

#

(Or at least that’s my cope on why I don’t want to change it)

void hound
#

i try to avoid macros whereever i can so i have a seperate backstab on shift v

bleak yew
#

Is the 11.2 PTR available in the EU to play around with the new tier sets yet?

short radish
vale pine
#

you can add the ptr server to your account in the account settings

north schooner
#

there are never separate EU PTR servers but you can play on them

vale pine
#

and after it install it from the battlenet launcher

#

there is no eu ptr, its all on NA servers so ping is higher

#

but its not region locked, which i assume was the question

bleak yew
#

Okay, I've got the PTR loaded and installed however it keeps saying the servers aren't available..

north schooner
#

they might be down

#

let me check

#

I think they will patch it today

#

but that's closer to midnight for european timezones

bleak yew

Cheers, I've recreated the PTR account - all working tyvm team

Blank meaning sod w/o dance?

yea

you send sod and sec tech without dance

#

My favourite part of the article was all three writers saying how shit the hero talents are but how good the tier sets are

lilac stag
#

my favorite part is assa taking another sub niche

alpine wraith
#

assa needs to get all the infinity jewels

#

only needs to become a ranged spec in midnight

lilac stag
#

assa just needs to be deleted

alpine wraith
#

so it can have funnel aoe st burst and execute in ranged

#

oh wait that is mm

#

or dev kek

#

although they dont have funnel kinda

lilac stag
#

No need to funnel if you just delete everything

hazy breach
#

The issue is what effects its buffing

alpine wraith
#

if only the DS effects

#

yea you took that one out of my mouth

swift tinsel
#

Like imagine the 2pc for trickster doing the same thing

#

Better nimble, better flawless

hazy breach
#

80 minutes tricks POGGA

#

Oh right its only damage effects

#

Nvm

swift tinsel
#

Nah they’d whitelist tricks for the meme

#

Or on accident bc spaghetti

hazy breach
#

Now why the effect is separate from symbols i have no idea

alpine wraith
#

watch it not work with singular

hazy breach
#

It doesnt work with inevitability nor does it pandemic

#

So its kinda jank

hollow plinth
#

where sim

hazy breach
#

Outlaw sims higher dw

tepid trellis
#

we are sandbaggin sorry

hollow plinth
#

i see

lilac stag
#

where buffs

tepid trellis
#

we had enough of week 1 nerfs

alpine wraith
#

yea we are not making any apl changes too for new set just wing it

hazy breach
#

Idk im mostly hoping for bugfixes/fixing interactions for the rest of PTR

alpine wraith
#

randomly proc UB 10 times in a row in opener

#

get 4 coups

hazy breach
lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

well organically in fights you can move more things around

#

and better burst is never bad

#

so maybe some triple dances here

#

or a double dance in between somewhere

hazy breach
#

The new tier is less bursty than the undermine one

alpine wraith
#

but maybe putting apl things with how rng it is might break things

haughty mural
#

Can we have trackable ub resets ?

alpine wraith
#

well with the new trink not really

#

that one is big boi one

alpine wraith
hazy breach
#

Yes trinkets bring it up to roughly the same level as before

#

Unless we hold the trinket ofc

alpine wraith
#

depends on how important it is to leapfrog phases

haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

like having a fully stacked one for bandit or mug zee would ahve been good

#

or in gally to pad

#

kek

#

but also wonder if the bugged 14k crit trink is staying

#

or getting a 50% slap

#

think mythic one was like 16k+ crit

tepid trellis
#

why did classic get 1min30 cd resets on encounter wipes

steel zinc
#

14% for the 4p is kinda low compared to other tier sets

tepid trellis
#

but retail hasent?

alpine wraith
#

sometimes it is what it is

hazy breach
#

18% is fine

haughty mural
#

Didn’t know that

lilac stag
#

18 compared to 40. Not fine

leaden prairie
hollow plinth
#

wtf

lilac stag
runic trail
#

Also why stop at 90 seconds and not go down to a minute or something

#

Or just, reset it all idk

brittle plinth
vale pine
alpine wraith
#

so you cant be happy after a wipe

vale pine
#

sitting there with low amount of dance charges and symbol charges is stupid

brittle plinth
#

Tell me you don't play classic without playing classic

swift tinsel
#

or why can't I change talents when one charge of something is on cooldown

alpine wraith
#

same reason we dont have tps to bosses

#

gotta do the walk of shame sometimes

vale pine
brittle plinth
#

We will absolutely abuse the shit out of things like that

runic trail
sly shore
#

But everything else

#

yikers

vale pine
#

the idea is good

swift tinsel
#

30% more cdr for dance during symbols

vale pine
#

but limiting it to damage amps made it meh

you don't use them in the same cast

#

so macroing them is not a good idea

#

plus they do different things so you want to cast them in a specific order in a sequence

oblique burrow
#

Shit

#

i'm fcked

rapid forum
#

please double check, did you skill blades and save your talent tree?

runic trail
#

Nah, just spend some time practicing the opener and cooldown window

north schooner
#

they have it in their spellbook

#

but could try relearning the talent dunno

runic trail
#

I take it just typing the English spell name won't work on the french client? As a theory

runic trail
#

Cos they still had to type /cast instead of whatever the french for cast is

rapid forum
#

commands work but names of items/abilities/npcs that are different do not

runic trail
#

Okay that's my theory gone

#

I shall resume throwing things at the problem until something maybe works

keen dome
#

Random idea but maybe swap spec to another one and back and then try it

runic trail
#

I aim for quantity not quality garf

Unless someone already suggested this when I wasn't paying attention

alpine wraith

think you need to shift click for it to paste from spellbook

let me check a sec

i'll try once again

Cttl-click? Or maybe it's shift right click

Just hit buttons I dunno, pretend you're a Ret paladin

i need to click inside the macro?

#

not on the spell?

lilac stag

You need the cursor active in the macro

#

Then shift click the spell

swift tinsel

sounds like most feedback lol

#

the same issues have been prevalent with hero trees basically since day one

being alpha/beta

runic trail
#

Yup, and no real changes, so I kinda of doubt they'll do anything with them this expansion

closest thing to changes was making Marks not giga-stackable

and that was just a bug iirc

Whats a good idea of one rotation of dps as sub?

#

like how much dmg in a full cycle ?

#

bc looking at raidbots, he said i should do 2M and i am at like 1.8M max rn

lilac stag
#

You burst. Then you flatline. Really depends on targets. You can see the burst windows in the full details

brittle plinth
#

That's an interesting question, ignoring whether you mean single target or more, buffs no buffs, dummy's? Like what is a rotation for sub? Since we are a class of procs and cdr, where do we draw the line? End of flag window I guess?

oblique burrow
#

How much should i burst ?

oblique burrow
#

just before the second set au 1.5 min C

#

#

If you aren't planning on using your second set of 1.5 you would greed more dances. I don't think you should focus on a #

there's your peak

lilac stag

idk why you're simming 1.3 minutes but ok

he was breaking down sub to dps every 90s

oblique burrow
#

no i just tried to know

#

not just 1.3 min

#

but the cycle you know

lilac stag
#

see in the bottom right where it say Full HTML report?

that has the information you want

#

yes?

#

ok thanks !

lilac stag
#

get rid of signet and get house of cards

#

if you're playing Sub

oblique burrow
#

I dont have it

#

but yeah, i know i need to

lilac stag
#

then get the pvp trinket

oblique burrow
#

i'll just get another trinket for season 2

#

is it easy to get?

brittle plinth
#

pvp one?

#

30-40 mins of work

oblique burrow
#

cause i'm thrash in pvp

lilac stag
#

can you fly around and open up chests ?

brittle plinth
#

no real pvp skill required

#

put on warmode and do the spark of war I think its called

lilac stag
#

you can also get a WA to announce warbound chests and atleast on NA there are groups that farm them for conq points

oblique burrow
#

i'll try !

#

can someone send a guide to get this 1min pvp trinket?

keen dome
#

Turn on warmode -> fly around getting war crates which spawn ever 30 - 45 minutes (or look in group finder for one) -> buy trinket.

#

Alternatively just queue pvp and get conquest. It's 700 so doesn't take long

oblique burrow
#

whats conquest?

#

i'm a pvp noob

#

just looked at bloodmallet and they still recommand the signet of the priory

Any idea why my sim is saying to put my 684 dagger (from vault right now) in my off hand and my crafted dagger in my main hand? Isnt weapon dmg good for MH slot?

runic trail
#

Can you link the sim?

swift tinsel
#

says its a loss

viscid mulch
#

if i change my embellishment to my ring it is saying its an increase, but im wondering why its putting it to my offhand?

hollow plinth
#

didnt tell it to enchant MH

swift tinsel
#

rip lol

viscid mulch
#

ahhh okay, used to play 2h classes im dumb

#

Wait the sim shows an enchant on it?

runic trail
#

But the new one isn't yet enchanted

viscid mulch
#

I still dont understand why its putting it on the offhand slot? Everything ive read says MH dmg is good. or am I wrong?

runic trail
#

Run it again but select the mainhand enchants

hollow plinth
runic trail
#

Or have Tamaran run it for you this also works!

viscid mulch
#

Okay okay that makes sense. Thanks!

rich stump
#

I was wondering why is this not mentioned anywhere?
Dropping the rotten and 1 Symbols charge for Finality, it does seem to be better no? I run into a 5 sec desync issue after 2nd set of CDS but since I mainly play m+ it doesn't really matter.
The rotten seems fairly useless since our first ability is backstab anyway and that 3% damage from Death Perception is actually 2.6% going from 13% to 16%.
While Finality whith finality, in an m+ run those finisher are about 40% of overall damage which would be increased by 15% overall which is 6% dps increase.
I just didn't find it mentioned anywhere.

swift tinsel
#

The rotten is used in m+ to spread find weakness

#

In combination with improved shuriken storm

rich stump
#

but does it matter with nimble flurry? like is the damage from nimble multiplied again by find weakness, is it doube dipping?

#

in 7 or less targets ofc

swift tinsel
#

It matters when you start casting black powder

vale pine
#

rotten has the best trade off

swift tinsel
#

Because find weakness + shadowed finishers boosts the damage of BP

vale pine
#

for any tfd build

rich stump
#

mhh I guess it makes sense

upper narwhal
#

I tried dropping rotten for finality last I was doing M+ on Sub, but it makes your AoE burst a good bit less consistent by not guaranteeing the find weakness in mass aoe

#

sims roughly the same but in practice it definitely feels worse

rich stump
#

yea, I was also thinking the rotten + goremaw(and 50% crit dmg boost from trickester) would be nice but unfortunately there is no points no move around

swift tinsel
#

Goremaw is a meme

goremaw is trash never click it

rich stump

maybe I'll drop Flag for goremaw in a +10 just for the meme(aka DPS death sentance)

swift tinsel
#

Nope

warm marlin
#

You can take PV and force it for goremaw and rotten and only press it in dance just so it can do the damage of a singular mediocre eviscerate

swift tinsel
#

Your computer will explode

#

Don’t ask how I know

#

Also pretty sure it’s a Lashga secret account

north schooner

goremaw mentioned HOLY

The dropping flag gave it away lol

Well it takes 7 targets for it to average out to 5 or more find weaknesses up most of the time

vale pine
#

^ it's a optimization around find weakness

#

find weakness is also difficult to track, so you usually don't know exact find weakness counts

#

outside of the guaranteed application of rotten

rich stump
#

ok so it does more overall under optimal conditions but you miss out on a bit of priority damage.
Also does rupture snapshot with symbols damage increase, like after the cd windows is it worth to spread rupture again assuming enemies will live and gain the 16% damage boost for the whole duration or does it not work that way?

vale pine
#

when learning, its a minor detail which isn't relevant, it becomes relevant if you want to min/max

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

damage amplifiers don't snapshot but are dynamic

swift tinsel
#

outside of specific cases

vale pine
#

outside of finality

rich stump
#

ok thanks

iirc finality and feral bleeds are the only real snapshot dots anymore

cooking spec confirmed

alpine wraith
#

not really i will try to do some apl and other shit this weekend

#

but problem is tier does not help

#

woth how krangled it gets from escalatings

#

and resets

#

i though about triple dance on cds or getting two dances with lily in between prisms

void ocean
#

we talkin bout current or ptr?

alpine wraith
#

ptr mainly i guess

void ocean
#

ah

swift tinsel
#

I wanna futz around with the 2min plus prism a bit later, sounds promising

#

Can likely fit triple dance in it

#

And then prism 1:30 flag etc

void ocean
#

prism?

#

new trinket

#

?

#

or u Isaac Newton

swift tinsel
#

But if you end up with sub-11k or 14k agi throughout most of the third dance prism is just better there

#

Which lines up better later

#

I wanna get my hands on Halls trinket tho

void ocean
#

was that a cannister

#

or w/e was the name

swift tinsel
#

Nah I think it’s new

void ocean
#

decanter or smth

#

oh

swift tinsel
#

It’s a 1sec channel that gives crit and does damage

void ocean
#

oh god not the channel

swift tinsel
#

Drops off second boss

void ocean
#

i loved HoA tho

#

as a venth, my fav key

swift tinsel
#

That and Taz were the SL dungeons I was hoping to see the most

#

So I’m quite excited for this season which isn’t normally the case lol

midnight ledge
#

I feel like the tier set for sub barely makes a difference in improving gameplay at all for trickster. It’ll be almost exactly the same. Maybe some slightly quicker but not very impactful resets outside of blades. But then what’s really the point? It seems like a very disappointing outlook on a tier so far.

#

Dungeons are cool I guess though

swift tinsel
#

Imo there isn’t a whole lot to improve for trickster as far as gameplay is concerned, at least in single target

#

So the extra cdr bump is nice but not crazy

#

As has been pointed out though, it basically covers up not getting a little more from Deepening like we’ve asked for for a while now

#

There’s also the possibility the 2pc changes which may impact the set but dracthyr_shrug

#

It’s annoying for both outlaw and sub

#

And since outlaw is getting the attention this ptr cycle we may collaterally benefit lol

hazy breach
#

But ye it doesnt matter much, nor do i think it needs to, trickster already plays well in ST

#

We just need somebody to adress how our AoE plays, its jank regardless of what hero talent we choose

swift tinsel
#

I’m afraid of getting an Empowered version of Tornado because that’s the melee aoe trend

hazy breach
#

Wdym

swift tinsel
#

Windwalker aoe revamp led to Slicing Winds, Frost Dk aoe revamp led to Breath being an empower spell

vale pine
#

tornado is an abomination, don't think its normal

swift tinsel
#

I’m hoping that’s the view they take if they ever look at our aoe

#

I will say though, breath empower introduced an interesting idea in shifting buff duration and cooldown based on empower level

alpine wraith
#

they will make tornado use 3 sec techs

#

and call it a day

swift tinsel
#

Each clone spawns three clones

#

Which spawn three more of their own

#

Multi shadow clone jutsu

midnight ledge
#

Yeah I guess I was just hoping for something more impactful or visual or both. I enjoy the burst and speed of sub but the 30 seconds of downtime is killer.

I don’t enjoy multidotting so I don’t think assassin will sit well for me. I’ve never tried outlaw.

swift tinsel
#

I think we’d all be happy with anything more visually appealing than what we have now lol

hazy breach
#

Ofc, but the tiersets were never gonna rework the hero talents, its just doubling down on what its already doing

swift tinsel
#

Even from just a baseline perspective

#

Yeah I didn’t have any real crazy expectations

#

Now if coup enabled a second Sectech…

#

That didn’t interrupt/reset the cooldown if it was already on cd

sharp lake
#

in M+ aoe, is Backstab as first builder incorrect? Should it be Shadow Strike -> Shuriken Storm or Backstab -> Shuriken Storm?

hazy breach
#

It doesnt matter really

sharp lake
#

fair enough

#

and for burst with The First Dance active, should we still use Secret Technique as first finisher in the first Shadow Dance? Or is delaying it by one finisher for Danse Macabre correct?

left ledge
#

just not the way it is right now

#

our aoe cd SHOULD be something that empowers our finishers for either aoe or funnel

warm marlin
#

Shadowcraft makes storm give 1 sht for each overcapped cp (so all but 1 in blades)

hazy breach
#

For both dances

vale pine
#

it is in conflict with so many other design decisions

swift tinsel
#

I’d be fine if they took the talent out entirely and replaced it with nothing

#

With our aoe being what it is currently

#

Else they just make it Shadow Nimble Flurry and make nimble in trickster tree increase its damage like it does for outlaw

#

As a bandaid until they rework it all

#

Only active in dance, idc

#

Would make DN evisc slightly less aids in aoe ig

warm marlin
#

Semi serious question since I’m not a super long time sub enjoyer

#

Why doesn’t there exist a stealth equivalent to storm that actually does damage i.e backstab/ss

vale pine
#

storm does not rly need to do damage

#

its main issue is how expensive it is

warm marlin
#

it would help with big aoe rather than shadowstriking

#

Especially if it applied FW in aoe without requiring talenting rotten

swift tinsel
#

we kind of have a piecemeal aoe kit

#

it wasn't assembled with a full picture in mind, so it just exists as-is in a cobbled-together state

#

hell, we didn't have an aoe finisher until relatively recently

lilac stag
#

Tornado Sucks. Storm Sucks. BP doesn’t feel good to press. we got turned into temo outlaw flurry with CDs

#

AOE needs an actual overhaul

swift tinsel
#

agreed

#

with vision

lilac stag
#

or it gets removed

#

And bring combo back

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

storm showed up in legion, bp showed up in shadowlands

#

so actually nimble showing up in tww tracks for getting another piece of the aoe puzzle added every other expansion lol

#

so in the last titan we'll get another block to add to the jenga tower

#

which is actually just a pile atm

lilac stag
#

combo into flurry would be a solid option

#

Way better than the shit show it is now

#

but that’s assa now. kekw

alpine wraith
#

meanwhile

hazy breach
#

But then they removed that for some reason

vale pine
#

storm was also buffed a few times baseline

north schooner
#

trickster makes it awkward too because only BS and SS apply UB

vale pine
#

thats true

#

But its not really evis on aoe though

#

Thats the thing

#

BP is better when you have 5 find weaknesses up, especially during blades

#

So its just convoluted as hell

#

You want to storm for find weakness but that doesnt proc unseen blade, so you strike but that doesnt spread find weakness

#

Bleh

charred sandal
#

Yeah but to me sub turns out INSANELY repetitive real quick just cuz it got no depth, u cant really realistically change around like sin does with hybrid/bleed/cleave playing completely differently within same spec

charred sandal

I mean sure you cant really swap much talents but you can change the timings of your dances and symbols a lot

#

as eleem said BP is better. It’s just poorly integrated. Sub got turned into outlaw where your st is your cleave. Unless they fix CDR and DS we’re stuck here until 12.0

Had a quick question about the Summarily Dispatched talent. Is there ever a scenario where you try to optimize that such as:

  1. Using Dispatch>Between the Eyes as KiR comes off CD to farm additional buffs from CtO?
  2. Utilize the low energy cost if you don't have AR or Buried Treasure (from RtB) active?

I can see some niche value from the first scenario, but I imagine the second one is basically just if you play poorly. Even then it might not be worth it to do/think about. Curious what y'all think.
