The set is stronger on single target than in AoE, does not mean the spec is bad in mythic+
just saying
Ahh yeah sorry should have been clearer I meant the outlaw and assa sets
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
Yeah no one responded...was just curious..thank you
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
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.
so i wonder, do you plan to push high keys on ptr?
we might get more wins out of changing some plays
ptr push keys is where the content is
I'm not asking what is good I'm just asking how people are feeling about how the sets play that is all
it is quite interesting
although escalating blade is annoying
and resets of course are random
The tier set is numerical good
and you cant know when they happen
4pc is good but it makes the existing issues with trickster much more apparent
like overcapping escalating blade
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
also fuck deathstalker sub
Sweet thanks guys
i mean its also weird numerical
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
Tying the tier set to symbols was such a miss
(it also does not pandemic correctly atm)
I kinda felt the same way when I read it...seemed a bit odd
Its just not how sub plays currently you lose so much value
ye, could just make it dance
exactly
you can tune the dance duration + and the % bonus
but we will see
currently its just
"you already have 60% symbols uptime"
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
"lets make it 70%+
Designed for assa and sub was afterthought
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
I mean 2 seconds on shiv and progressing your marks inside shiv makes sense and allows for more DN shivs
oh yes
i mean it might be that they designed it for assa first
and just wait and see how good it is for sub
Ye and sub was the afterthought haha
I mean it could be good for sub, of they make the marks do enough damage to justify it but man is it weird
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
Yea its why i think darkest night should reduce dance cd by x amount
Would solve all issues
they could just buff the cdr
and also lower storm energy cost
would make the rotation not feel bad in aoe/cleave
Return to df season 2 8)
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
Could change the tier set to make symbols provide like -5s off of shadow dance cooldown use instead maybe?
You really feel the diff between sub and assa on OaB for example
I don't like DS sub
it locks you to the target
adds additional constraints to e.g. dots
And its another layer you have to think about
For bosses like Silken Court, Queen, Cauldron
the damage profile is "more baseline damage" instead of focusing on giving damage during cooldowns
Probably not as bad on Sub, but for Sin it was annoying
dance allows you to switch targtes a bit more comfortable
and you forget that it also needs more uptime
every annoying thing in wow is a "layer of thinking" if you want to look at it this way
hunt them down is like 10%
e.g. the RS bug
could also say "it adds nouances to your multi target rotation"
when in reality it was just annoying asf
Cauldron is at least fairly reasonable, court could fuck right off though
I guess yeah, but as sin it was really annoying especially when you used Vanish for DPS
Making sure, you spend all Deathstalker Marks on Queen before intermission
Becuase otherwise, you didnt have your Hero Talent in P2

I had several pulls where I ended up sending ruptures into her while she was immune
Ye
Though I eventually ended up just straight up not vanishing during my second cooldown set
Just for consistency
How's it applied on sub? Still through ambush?
strike
I mean its just the Natur of Hero Talents
They just didnt make good ones on Rogue
that synergize well
i still think
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
Yeah
like the enirety of TWW philosophy
of making stuff for multiple things instead of more tailored stuff
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
there is no appeal to that compared to what hero talents were touted to be. They really underestimated how much effort hero talent trees would take not just to make the balanced for both specs, but also to make them interesting to begin with
it requires effort they didn't spend
and for rogue's trees that is extra the case
you can pmuch input a lot of things instead of "hero talents" and it would still make the statement sound ^^
The whole picking killing Spree on oulaw for trickster debacle 
hero trees requiring specific talents is one of my least favourite aspects of them
tbh i am only surprised
how long it took for KS to get fixed
Trueee
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"
nothing wrong with having an ability which is literally unusable on some fights
tie it to a hero tree
It's totally usable if you don't care about the safety of your raid team 
"sorry guys, realz made me do it"
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
there is a certain title for people who did not use KS pre rework:
||Skill issue||.
(its a joke)
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
there probably hasn't been a single expansion where the teleport aspect wasn't causing issues
hey
People live in the past with rose tainted goggles
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
Classic levelling is a vibe
It's so funny
I just hit 60 and roll a new character, it's so chill
Not for me 😦
i mean, i am weird in a way
Probably heavily nostalgia based but original azeroth is legit my comfy place.
It feels like home
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.
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 
Oldge
They should start putting emojis in the rogue section
Think its diffrent for everyone
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
I just like levelling okay it's nice
🏄♂️ 🏄♂️

But that’s just me
I get that
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
I liked levling in Wotlk, Cata Classic too
classic for me just has no nostalgia even tho i played wotlk
Yeah I think I've rewatched certain series like 20+ times now, I crave a certain degree of familiarity
so while its chill and relaxing for others, its just tiresome and grindy for me
I literally replayed Cyberpunk after my first Playthrough ended

It’s pretty much the same for me fuu
I also played before wotlk
But it has not much really much nostalgia for me
And also this
high5. I do this when I just wanna.. be comfy. It's def a cmofy thing.
you forgot 👍
Think Cyberpunk is now quite good after patches?
We don't complete the ritual lest we summon him
Yes my first playthrough was also just a year ago, when Pantom iberty got out
Which is probably the best Version of the Game
only exception for me is music probably, even tho i need a lot of music on a playlist to not get tired of certain songs
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
Familiarity is comfy to me, (it's the autism speaking 100% but still)

the guy has 22k posts on the official forums, he has grown roots there. We are safe 
Music as well, sometimes it's just... One song on repeat for a while
Think thats nothing bad, it makes everyone unique ^^
Hell eah
Yes
Bis sp game if you like the setting
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 :(
isnt that just deathstalker in general
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
Trickster is not really sub oriented when you read the description of the spec
honestly could have given sub fatebound
Don't curse us with this
i'd rather sub fatebound than sub deathstalker

How about DS outlaw
i dont play outlaw so sure they can have the shitfest that is deathstalker
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

One day they'll just put the mark on the rogue, problem solved
we're going full circle wiht combo points
deathstalker feels like "what if we brought back marked for death but made it worse"

Don’t let hacha hear this
Im also glad specs getting new animations (: heard DK lacked those 
what's an animation? here's a smidge of purple poof
being tricky is kinda the rogue vibe tho ^^
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)
Bte is a self buff since a while 
dunno about fatebound being outlaw oriented
Well, it's somehow related to "fate"
it seems like some cult thing with "magical" aspects given the cosmic damage
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" 
dont tell me roll the bones are not under "fate"
But I'm also a bit of an assa hater
the rng nature of the spec does fit outlaw yes but that's where I feel it stops
Pirates like flipping coins 
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
Yeah that makes sense. Outlaw to me is the dirty fighter archetype
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?
It just pulls ahead on shorter fights
I've heard 4 minutes being touted as the tipping point
I would hate to play with DN 
Also weaponmaster is not good
So tfd pulls ahead in shorter fights
can you somehow reactivate tfd in a fight? i guess no right, even if possible not doing something is not worth i guess
Not that I'm aware of
You cannot exit combat on raid bosses no
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
Idk if I'd blame the devs for that
yeah it might not be intended
thats true
but numbers turned out to be better like this
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
even if it is intended, it's not degenerate imo. Degenerate is what you have to do with deathstalker to make it work
i guess you all have a seperate keybind for bs which does not switch in stealthbar?
or whats the recommended way
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
1 = backstab in dance 2 = backstab outside stealth, ss in stealth and I just eat the stance delay rarely
there is also that macro that combines dance and backstab
can it trigger dance double by accident? or this is not possible in general
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
!bs
Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
thanks mate
1 is just backstab in and out of dance for me
i have a separate BS/SS bind because of the ol stance delay bug
dunno if thats still a thing now
I think it is but it doesn’t make a huge difference atm
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)
i try to avoid macros whereever i can so i have a seperate backstab on shift v
Is the 11.2 PTR available in the EU to play around with the new tier sets yet?
yeah im also just too used to muscle memory now
yes
you can add the ptr server to your account in the account settings
there are never separate EU PTR servers but you can play on them
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
Okay, I've got the PTR loaded and installed however it keeps saying the servers aren't available..
they might be down
let me check
I think they will patch it today
but that's closer to midnight for european timezones
ptr servers are up rn
Cheers, I've recreated the PTR account - all working tyvm team
Best luck in finding less bugs for us 💪
'secreat' too much coffee fuu?
at least we don't secrete technique
Just hadn't heard the term so I wanted to make sure it wasn't some tech I had completely missed
Thanks
I love how @vale pine raised this 2x
Well done
❤️

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

At least they're consistent 
assa needs to get all the infinity jewels
only needs to become a ranged spec in midnight
assa just needs to be deleted
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
No need to funnel if you just delete everything
I unironically think the deathstalker 2ps buffing of all the effects is really cool
The issue is what effects its buffing

Like imagine the 2pc for trickster doing the same thing
Better nimble, better flawless
Now why the effect is separate from symbols i have no idea
watch it not work with singular
where sim
Outlaw sims higher dw
we are sandbaggin sorry
i see
where buffs
we had enough of week 1 nerfs
yea we are not making any apl changes too for new set just wing it
Idk im mostly hoping for bugfixes/fixing interactions for the rest of PTR
Unironically couldnt find any

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
The new tier is less bursty than the undermine one
but maybe putting apl things with how rng it is might break things
Can we have trackable ub resets ?
sorry indi compani
Yes trinkets bring it up to roughly the same level as before
Unless we hold the trinket ofc
depends on how important it is to leapfrog phases

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
u know what i dont get?
why did classic get 1min30 cd resets on encounter wipes
14% for the 4p is kinda low compared to other tier sets
but retail hasent?
sometimes it is what it is
18% is fine

Didn’t know that
18 compared to 40. Not fine
wtf they did
wtf
Classic has an actual dev team
Also why stop at 90 seconds and not go down to a minute or something
Or just, reset it all idk
Classic dev team?
the real question is, why don't all cooldowns reset with a whipe
so you cant be happy after a wipe
sitting there with low amount of dance charges and symbol charges is stupid
Tell me you don't play classic without playing classic
or why can't I change talents when one charge of something is on cooldown
this one is explainable, its to prevent exploitation
We will absolutely abuse the shit out of things like that
Yup, vanish with one charge left on bleed build, can't swap to a normal build with only one vanish charge until both charges are back 
Yeah like the tier set is good
But everything else
yikers
the idea is good
30% more cdr for dance during symbols
but limiting it to damage amps made it meh
Guys what's the recommended sim for m+ please? Dung slice/5t5m/m+ route in expert mode?
Dungeon slice I believe
dslice is good yes
Is route sim supported or not rly? I kinda like it
dungeon slice
Ait thanks, will use that one
Anyone know why shadow blade isnt macrooed ?
i cant macro it and idk why
!macro

its off gcd so you should have no issues putting it in a macro
I tried in french but it doesnt work
You probably missed the s or made it one word instead of 2
it's called "Lames de l'ombre"
tried with every possible combination lol
I have and yes
sin is about to be melting prio targets in keys
what happens if you copy paste what the chat command linked you previously
Can you post your macro?
doesn't work cause it's in english
here is the name in french btw
type /cast
open your spellbook
right click on shadowblades to add it to the macro
I prefer it in french tbh, much easier to not do the translation in my mind
Ok ! will try
didnt work, just activated shadowblades but didnt put it in my macro
shift click it
it just take the icon to my mouse, doesnt put it on my macro
do you have the macro open?
Yes
Theres not that much of a difference
Since envenoms do way less damage
oh is there not? sad
just to make sure, your cursor is blinking in the macro box when you shift click from the spellbook yes?
Idk tbh 🥲
yes
fcking love when macros dont work 🥲
Try /cast 121471 maybe?
Sims suggest about a 2-3% increase in prio damage on 8 targets if simply comparing the sets
But also the new set kinda sucks for deathstalker, so it will probably get buffed
nope
you can try relogging in case this is some bug with localised clients
I'll try that
i am pretty sure its the ', either macros dont accept these (which i doubt) or you used the wrong key for it
will try
I have no clue if you can cast by spellID but I'm just throwing shit at the problem now to see if it sticks
doesnt work
Well, shit
french debuff 
you can only use items by ID in macros
Well, I tried 
so they need the localised name but if shift click doesn't work that's tough chance if it's something subtle like different apostrophe unicode
does any other spell with apostrophes work?
and it didnt take 🥲
Try without apostrophes maybe?
Yeah my stealth one work
#showtooltip Camouflage dans l'ombre
/cast Camouflage dans l'ombre
/cast Camouflage
Annoying as f*ck
🤐
yeah even just glancing at the set it didn't sound like it amounted to a great deal of dmg
we'll see with tunings i guess
was there a new build today? thought I saw someone say something about servers being down before
Nah
@oblique burrow what about this in your macro window
here it seems to work
what did you do different there
No i just took the picture
ah lmao
Yeah
got baited first time lol
is it bad is it macro it on my first CD ?
now shadow Blades but the other 1.5 min cd?
Ye.
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
please double check, did you skill blades and save your talent tree?
Nah, just spend some time practicing the opener and cooldown window
I take it just typing the English spell name won't work on the french client? As a theory
na doesnt
Cos they still had to type /cast instead of whatever the french for cast is
commands work but names of items/abilities/npcs that are different do not
Okay that's my theory gone
I shall resume throwing things at the problem until something maybe works
Random idea but maybe swap spec to another one and back and then try it
I aim for quantity not quality 
Unless someone already suggested this when I wasn't paying attention
I did
NJo
No*
i'll try once again
Cttl-click? Or maybe it's shift right click
make sure macro is open and you clicked inside the macro when trying that
Just hit buttons I dunno, pretend you're a Ret paladin
just needed me. 
thx man
Next macro issue I'm just gonna ping scath
It's not on my main bar either 
There were no chances for rogue right ?
Somehow my wowhead does not load
Not that I've seen
Ah my mobile connection is just bricked i guess
Just sinking further south of mediocrity
Nope i got it
Cold blood sectec just lives on the third bar above the main bar

You got me there
It's fine we're just sandbagging before the tier
Then raid launches and we go ham
Right up to upper lower third of all dps
I'm too institutionalised to not play rogue 
Grip this 
If the niche involves playing fatebound, not worth it
If you take 5 words out of Mr W’s post as a dev, it says fix Fatebound
I'd like it to be fixed but we've got this far into the expansion without it being fixed
so be careful what ya wish for.
Like, this isn't new feedback
sounds like most feedback lol
the same issues have been prevalent with hero trees basically since day one
being alpha/beta
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
You burst. Then you flatline. Really depends on targets. You can see the burst windows in the full details
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?
How much should i burst ?
single target, no buffs, dummys
just before the second set au 1.5 min C
CD*
how long is a piece of string
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 #
I'd focus on the actual rotation
Post a link to your sim
^
Here is with 1.3 min patchwerk
there's your peak
he was breaking down sub to dps every 90s
see in the bottom right where it say Full HTML report?
that has the information you want
then get the pvp trinket
cause i'm thrash in pvp
can you fly around and open up chests ?
no real pvp skill required
put on warmode and do the spark of war I think its called
you can also get a WA to announce warbound chests and atleast on NA there are groups that farm them for conq points
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
whats conquest?
i'm a pvp noob
just looked at bloodmallet and they still recommand the signet of the priory
in Mimiron, is it possible to turn a Top Gear sim result into a gearset to use in Droptimizer?
without having to enter all of the item and bonus id's for each slot
They’re even in exactly a 5 min sim. Every other scenario badge is better. We are a 90 second spec, not a 2 min spec. Your 2 min trinket is getting turned into a 3 minute trinket and literally every other go you’re not getting to use a trinket. It’s bad.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
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?
Can you link the sim?
if i change my embellishment to my ring it is saying its an increase, but im wondering why its putting it to my offhand?
didnt tell it to enchant MH
rip lol
might be because you already have the crafted one enchanted
But the new one isn't yet enchanted
I still dont understand why its putting it on the offhand slot? Everything ive read says MH dmg is good. or am I wrong?
Because when its in the mainhand slot, it isn't enchanted
Run it again but select the mainhand enchants
it enchants offhand but not mainhand
Or have Tamaran run it for you this also works!
Okay okay that makes sense. Thanks!
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.
The rotten is used in m+ to spread find weakness
In combination with improved shuriken storm
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
It matters when you start casting black powder
rotten has the best trade off
Because find weakness + shadowed finishers boosts the damage of BP
for any tfd build
mhh I guess it makes sense
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
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
Goremaw is a meme
goremaw is trash never click it
#goremawbeliever
My phone doesn’t even like my typing it lol

Tried to stop me twice haha
Nope
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
Your computer will explode
Don’t ask how I know
Also pretty sure it’s a Lashga secret account
goremaw mentioned 
The dropping flag gave it away lol
nop that one got gunned down
idk who that is
there is one way to check
A guy who would unironically try cooking up the most cursed builds
what is your opinion of the discord server's badge colours?

Was he the sub version of Ryukage?
I’m unfamiliar
I mean the name is a little familiar
Ryukage was the person cooking up cursed outlaw builds
He also got banned due to the server icon, among other things 
Less cooked than Ryu
Thats a low bar to clear tbf
#ripthegoat
ryukage was sub for a few days, did he not cook enough for sub?
man last time I played sub seriously was in Legion pre and post rework(immune to fall dmg op btw), spec has changed quite a bit since then
Yes but also no, its actually quite similar to how it was played back then
Black powder does more than evis+nimble does on 5 targets, assuming all of them have find weakness on them
I mean back to back finishers is already a big step up and filling CP with 1 press outside of blades(which is actually good now) also is great. Plus pre rework dances kinda hit like a wet noodle even though you had 3 charges and uptime that was too high. and yea fall damage immunity op
how so? on fuu guide on wow head it says below 7 to evisc
Well it takes 7 targets for it to average out to 5 or more find weaknesses up most of the time
^ 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
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?
when learning, its a minor detail which isn't relevant, it becomes relevant if you want to min/max
snapshotting largely doesn't exist in wow anymore
damage amplifiers don't snapshot but are dynamic
outside of specific cases
outside of finality
ok thanks
iirc finality and feral bleeds are the only real snapshot dots anymore
improv garrote too i think
Who let our favorite chef back in RH?
The funny thing is outlaw players fr playing hoc now.
The mastery build cooks came true
the darkest timeline
maybe he cooks the secret goremaw technique
What did I miss who cooked?
did someone say cooking
oh its outlaw
lel
are we again at the point of discussing other specs/classes here 😄
spec confirmed
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
we talkin bout current or ptr?
ptr mainly i guess
ah
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
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
Nah I think it’s new
It’s a 1sec channel that gives crit and does damage
oh god not the channel
Drops off second boss
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
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
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 
It’s annoying for both outlaw and sub
And since outlaw is getting the attention this ptr cycle we may collaterally benefit lol
Slightly more damage outside cds with more coups is mostly it
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
I’m afraid of getting an Empowered version of Tornado because that’s the melee aoe trend
Wdym
Windwalker aoe revamp led to Slicing Winds, Frost Dk aoe revamp led to Breath being an empower spell
tornado is an abomination, don't think its normal
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
Each clone spawns three clones
Which spawn three more of their own
Multi shadow clone jutsu
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.
I think we’d all be happy with anything more visually appealing than what we have now lol
Ofc, but the tiersets were never gonna rework the hero talents, its just doubling down on what its already doing
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
in M+ aoe, is Backstab as first builder incorrect? Should it be Shadow Strike -> Shuriken Storm or Backstab -> Shuriken Storm?
It doesnt matter really
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?
i think tornado has potential
just not the way it is right now
our aoe cd SHOULD be something that empowers our finishers for either aoe or funnel
Shadowcraft makes storm give 1 sht for each overcapped cp (so all but 1 in blades)
Just using it asap is usually the best
For both dances
i don't see it
it is in conflict with so many other design decisions
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
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
it would help with big aoe rather than shadowstriking
Especially if it applied FW in aoe without requiring talenting rotten
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
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
More mobs in M+ now have truesight. There's your vision.
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
combo into flurry would be a solid option
Way better than the shit show it is now
but that’s assa now. 
meanwhile
It used to do 2x damage during dance
But then they removed that for some reason
storm was also buffed a few times baseline
trickster makes it awkward too because only BS and SS apply UB
thats true
give us dreadlords leggo
ima be real with you chief. I would sign up for this.
people's cpu's would explode
Can’t be any worse than warlocks and their 40 imps
i mean it has potential in becoming a 1 min aoe cd, it just needs to be redesigned
i think a node over there, with that cd, and focused on aoe is the potential
not specifically tornado
but happens to be tornado
a bit of a long time ago it actually used to hit decently hard
storm hit quite hard in legion
in bfa it was well
not that good but still decent
yeah with the cloak
and dnce amp
Then they gutted it when they added bp
Holy fan of knives cloak
Bring me back
One shotting people with fok in the open world
Why can’t we have good things
nothing like trivializing Faction Champions all on our own lol
August 13th probs
20th would be nice I'm at a festival the weekend before the 13th and I'm gonna need a week of staring into the void to mentally and physically recover
nah sooner better
12th would be nice, right in the middle of 3 weeks vacation 
Change wouldn't hurt me because i haven't logged it in yet 
sub buffs Sept 30th
to counter the nerfs of week 1
I think rogue would need to show up on details to get a nerf week1 
when the whole rotation bases around SS Evis on both ST and AoE with little to no change in builds to accomodate u know u got a bandaid system
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
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
also this
I mean sure you cant really swap much talents but you can change the timings of your dances and symbols a lot
all the systems overlaping each other
Which has quite a lot of depth
thats to me the little fun left, the cd managing
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
There’s way more wrong with our spec talents than there is right. enjoy what we have if it’s fun for you, otherwise move along to greener pastures
they are saving their sub changes for late in this ptr phase 
yeah late 12.0 ptr
but rogue is cool... it got daggers n shadows n stuff man... 
everything is ugly af this month at the trading post
if the armor didn't have the roses on it I'd really dig the purple and green sets
the weapons are w/e
get the scuba set 🔥
we are not that kind of sub 
Number one change rogues need is xmog daggers with fists
Everything else barely matters
u wanna tmog this ones
Those pretty slick

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Had a quick question about the Summarily Dispatched talent. Is there ever a scenario where you try to optimize that such as:
- Using Dispatch>Between the Eyes as KiR comes off CD to farm additional buffs from CtO?
- 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.
Think you’re lost bruv
?
we
on this side of the road
no new fixes
we're saved
shits still bugged, 2pc still annoying
Oop, wrong channel lmao mb
What?
no sub changes with new ptr build

unless there's bugfixes I didn't get to yet
bruh wyd @chrome palm
who is that ive never seen them before
I literally test bugs every new build, that's how I found RS last time
because they never announce any of them
nimble still goofy with blades and wm
🫡
Apply as QA tester they clearly need more 
You would join the rogue dev team wich consists of 2 dudes sitting on a dinner table with plastic chairs and a thinkpad
there's way better minds for that than mine
lol I literally do nothing but go through the list Eleem put together and replicate the bugs to see if they're still in
anyone can do that if they feel like it lol
Youre doing gods work soldier 🫡
you acting like that isnt amazing work
It’s really not lol other people do the hard part of finding them in the first place
@tribal blade we done
got Eye so yay
niiiiice
half our melee got gibbed
me the warrior and a dk all got popped by something and insta died lol
we just kept going to practice and well, killed him ahah
How many pulls? We kill this week surely 
121
Goddamn I need to get out of here asap
We on 200+
I should’ve gone out of here after 245 on sprocket
If I didn’t promise my friend I’d stay until it’s cleared…
I'm sure it's been asked 100 times but what's the deal with OAB logs where the dps for sub is so different between summary and the actual number
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/d8zKkW6hZQbNrf7g?fight=9&type=summary summary says 3.76 but then damage done tab says 3.56
yeah they dropped alll the add shit afaik
