Everything is cooked, not just tech
Microsft cutting 9000+ jobs 'cos Copilot is shitting itself to death at a 30b+ investment that's made like, 500m at most.
not sure what this means tbh
When the AI craze goes to shit and the bubble bursts.
The amount of money invested into it is astronomical and the technology, as they are trying to push it, has no future.
yeah i meant not sure why that would really happen
a lot of things have already been replaced or heavily integrated
and theyre fine
i mean openai isnt exactly printing money
I mean Microsoft have put 30 billion into it and made a fraciton of that back. It devours cash.
they just keep securing investment
oh yeah for sure
i mean microsoft announced theyre cutting off investing in AI research no?
they said theyre done with that, and only want to invest in building resources for it
not that atual research
that was a few months ago
i think a lot of the research is gonna be slowing down.
like the partnerships at my grad school lab with large companies has slowed down for exm
Yeah, but at the same time they're mandating that everybody in microsoft has to use copilot.
like when iw as in grad school i worked with meta, adobe, google, autodesk
but i think right now we only work with meta and autodesk
but thats because the supervisors at the lab have heavy connections
I feel like the truth with AI is somewhere in the middle
it's not
Some people make it sound like it's the second coming of jesus#
Others say it will die and never do anything
meta did buy out a lot of openai people
I think its already proved to be very very useful
yeah i heard. I think openAI is a lil cooked
their investments are drying up
people arent staying
costs are really high
but yeah this is canada i just looked up time frame is 2022-2025 may
people are clearly losing their jobs over something
atleast in tech I can def feel it
yeah its one of those things
where the government removes people from the labor force and then goes: "look, unemployment is low!"
because they arent being considered
this is employment rate
meaning unemployment is up 2%
right now in canada its the highest its been since sep 2016
idk how canada does it
but in the us labor force participation is low last i checked
so the actual unemployment rate doesnt show the full picture
Yeah unemployment rate always undershows
i think the desparity has increased in recent years
Ye
I get the feeling the next years will be come quite the shitshow 
Looks like it was a fairly steady decline from 2008-2015 where it leveled off a bit around 63% then obv Covid nosedive but % is ~62% now
Looking at labor force totals
On phone tho so annoying to look at charts
aight its time to go watch MSI. Cant wait to meet laure in person! o7
dont worry everyone knows sub players are invaluable to the world
so we cant become unemployed
no man when the class war starts rogues will be the first to go
We hide well
many will die
people got classic wow world pvp prejudice
but we wont
The devs for sure do
We don't multiply
hachadino... you have rogues under your floorboards, do you not?
!up
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
also just though about prism and forge
Seems viable
Very likely better than lily bc lily is stinky
Unless they buff it so it’s not barely better than house
leaving it in its current state would be kinda criminal
compared to what else is there
even though prism + forge is kind of a lot to ask for
won't get two trinkets from guild raids for the first couple of weeks
problem with lily is that it kinda loses value form being out of cd for longer
so the budget allocation is lost kinda
you can forge nether prism forge
etc
Yeah, forge is the closest we get to a 3min on-use to play with prism
Antenna is a decent alternative from boss #2
Idk how your guild distributes loot
Or just get pacemaker
Ye that too
And/or the delve trinkets, depending on exactly which ones are available
Crystal is back
There’s a delve/open world trinket that gives vers on damage taken proc but idk if that’s only direct damage
Assuming it is
Mastery delve trinket not too bad I think
Was annoying to play with when I tried it
Since you don’t get first pull and what not
Yeah, it procced in a weird spot too
Have to wait for things to die and as sub
That’s when your damage is over
But it would be good if it’s weak
Delve farming heroic trinkets
Idk if I ever saw a hero track drink on my rogue lol
And I did 8/8 most weeks for achiev progress
I need to summon the will to finish darkfuse farm
Thankfully darkmoon starts tomorrow I think so less needed
You're a braver man than I am
I just hit honoured but thats just through normal undermine stuff
I just need to finish revered but I keep getting groups that dip after a few minutes or don’t bring speakers
So it’s been taking longer
Darkfuse rep is exhausting
got about 4-5 hours left that I'm about to start

I do it as holy paladin so I basically just drop consecrate and throw out holy shocks and have something entertaining on the other monitor
or vdh and do all the pulling
i havent built up the willpower to do it yet
groups are hit or miss so it can get frustrating
but will prob just do it on boomkin
dots tend to kill them outside the bonus drop circles so be wary
same with starfall if they're in combat
need to venn diagram the circles a bit for more coverage maybe
or just take off some gear
unzips
Hey, whats the move that used to give us funnel called again? you guy call it combo but I dunno what it is
shuriken combo?
Yea, that seems to be it. had to double check vs what we currently have
doesn't even look taht strong compared to some of the currently available funnel
I think it was just considered very strong funnel for the time it was around, but I’m not sure as I wasn’t playing back then
I kind of get it though. I just ran a key as assa bleed build and the funnel in that build is already insane
I think it also went through multiple iterations and nerfs
but yea, also wasn't playing at the time, thanks for the clarification
So that tooltip might be from after it was nerfed
10% in legion, then nerfed to 5 on bfa beta before buffed to 8 then nerfed to 5 again
anything wrong with using 684 PvE set gear for PvP? it's prtty much the same as max PvP gear right?
jobs done
gz as sub rog?
rookery dfc i swap sub halfway
as long as you have a good amount of vers/mast. crit/haste are dogwater in pvp especially.
You also need pvp trinket set bonus n shit
if you think the funnel in bleed build is crazy try hybrid
I think I need a bit more reps on the hybrid build. I know assa is pretty straightforward, but compared to bleed builds, there are a few more things to keep track of
On a related note, what happens to kingsbane and splatter?
yeah there's for sure more to it
if I have a kingsbane ticking up, does the damage also get splattered?
it's basically raid build with IC and CT
yes
am I mega sad if the mob dies before kingsbane finishes or what?
kingsbane, envenom, and even poison bomb spatters
yeah kinda sad
that's why it sucks in low keys
you need a big target to live the entire duration of your cds
makes sense
God gamer!
nice congrats
WOOOOO
damn i'm in trouble
welp i better click this link before i get suspended
oh ye the BLLÌzzard support
it was nice knowing you guys 😦
🫡

The nasty shit i would /w the bro
Even knowing it's a bot
Now show sub only score 
(gzzz, youre mogging me as im stuck around 3.8
)
LOL
14 floodgate is beyond me unfortunately
I think my floodgate is a 10 or some shit 
But going of some logs sub doesnt even seem bad in floodgate
In fact sub seems alright pretty much everywhere besides meadery
Not better than the best outlaw/assa logs but better than quite a few of them
how much would you say sub is behind to outlaw/assa in raid rn?
they're pretty much all the same
In raid pretty much same ye, and maybe 5% or so behind in keys
@plush roost @hazy breach i'm gonna be in priory hell for a little bit
and then on to getting 0 invites for 20s 🙂
honestly seems normal, there are people that were miles ahead of me before and i'm quickly catching up because they're also stuck around 3800
i feel like the resil system has done a crazy amount of key inflation and might make the cutoff this season very hard to make
Ye priory aint much fun
Ye but id rather have inflation than having to do more homework keys
that's fair
i'm just worried because i don't have a team
But ye its probably not gonna go that much above 3.8k because 20s are definitely where the keys starts to get hard for real
yeah it definitely looks that way
the good thing is i've been running with quite a few phys comp teams recently
Like workshop, on 20 i need to feint every dispel on the dog or i die, on 19s i live anyway if im at full
i absolutely cranked a 19 rookery with phys, ended up doing the most dps at ~4.7 mil overall even while afk after the 2nd boss when hearthing to swap to sub
workshop i'm actually not overly concerned about the timer tbh because the 19 i timed timer didn't seem an issue
but yeah the damage going out in workshop is wild
those dogs are so scary
that's most of the problem right now is just living everything
Ye timer is fine but having 0 deaths on third boss is really hard
So you cant have much mistakes before that since you often need the crs for that boss
yeah we had 1 death on the 19 on that boss, but it was at the very end of the fight so wasn't too big a deal
That boss is too long for how locked in you need to be
Im personally a hater of the blue circle
less upfront damage but leaves a dot
ok yes that's just excessive
it's like
ok
there's a billion gears
a billion red circles
lasers that come out
do we REALLY also need the boss to do an aoe in melee
like is that seriously necessary
Obviously you just "get gud" and dont die, but ye, a bit too much imo
yeah i was really bad on that boss up until recently
just needed to mega focus up and seriously dial in
avoid stuff at all costs no matter what rotational mistakes you make
and it's gucci
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are you fully pushing as sub Eleem?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is that title already btw?
in eu you need resi 19 for title i believe
Im afraid not, assa just does more in a lot of the keys
Ye all 19s is pretty much spot on title right now in eu
for NA yeah
not needing to either sacrifice prio dam or aoe is a big plus as sin too
thats crazy tbh
resilient keys really pushed the bar
Turbo boost ilvl and key nerfs help
that too yeah

no chance some guy on ptr just flew into the horde dummies in orgrimmar as ally to fear people hitting dummies
that is insane work
Kind of funny because they wre talking about key levels feeling empty and doing the squish at the beginning of the expansion only to have it end up right back where it was in just the 2nd season
considering how inflated the keys are right now every single one feels like an execution check
especially as dps it's a lot of do-you-know-how-to-use-your-defensives
if it wasn't for the resil system i would guess the top end keys being done would be like 20s, 21s for DFC and ML
and title would have ended up being probably 18-19s
because the amount of 19s i've timed by just running someone's resil key for like 3-4 hours straight till you finally get it
i think resil is an oferall positive
likely there are way more people playing because of that
i think it's for sure an amazing system for people who do weekly keys yeah
it's interesting though, i've played with a lot of people recently in high keys who absolutely hate the resil system
i mean same as how gamblers hate playing dice but still make time to waste some time throwing some black quicks
i've also heard some of them talk about how they wish it was different, someone suggested resil keys only affecting +1 of what you've timed
yeah, i hear it the most when we're bricking the same key for hours on end haha
and then eventually "holy shit i hate the resil system" and then log off for the night
so they dislike it allows players to just ram their head in against the key until they eventually time it?
people need to learn that they enjoy the struggle in the moment
even if afterwards you think you wasted your time
basically yes
it was still enjoyable
but i think those people also have a short memory and have completely forgotten what it's like to have your key bricked -5 levels in the span of 2 hours
but what would be the alternative system? let's say you have resi 15 keys now, but it only has 1 charge of resilience. You bomb it once and now you're back to doing hw keys?
or finally timing the easy key
then get the cursed one
or wanting 1 key and every time you push to that lvl it is a cursed one
that was tettle's idea, you get the key at a level and it has charges
then having to find someone with that one and time it
you run out the charges and then it depletes
maybe somewhere in the middle, say 5 charges or something and then it starts depleting might be fair because if everyone brings resi keys, you have enough for a session and then some
i hate getting the cursed keys 😦
one weird thing i'm seeing right now is people basically able to ride their way through key levels because they know someone with like 18-19 resil
How are you guys timing theese high keys on sub? I find it struggles on AOE, then I’ve only played sun rouge for 2 seasons now
so they can just freeload off that person basically
very few sub players, most of us sub players went sin
Charges would kind of fix that problem right?
BP goes brrrr
wait, but isn't it more ethical to be not pressing BP if you are to push as sub?
i think no matter what system they come up with there will be issues
that's what i'm starting to see
Ahhh sin being outlaw? I go outlaw now
there is no answer, just tradeoffs
both sin and outlaw are high performing
sub is not bad, it's just not at that level
Gotcha thank you for the feedback
i mean maybe if you enjoy doing infinity less damage on large packs
yeah it's a big problem with sub
either do prio or do aoe
and as sin you do both
very well
i was bashing my head against a priory today with a 3800 arcane mage and was doing almost equal amounts of prio as him
just couldn't get anywhere close to him on the 2nd mini boss haha
needing to constantly run out of melee for that mini boss blows
how do you see where that jump-bleed-boss jumps at? he seems not to target the person or does he
Hot Take. People playing high keys will never be happy because high keys just aren’t fun. Doesn’t matter what system they do or don’t put in.
she'll leap at a random player that's not the tank, the work around is you run out of melee and then you can step your tank once she leaps
yeah i agree with that, there's literally never going to be a system that works well haha
no
they get disabled when the patch drops
It says on them that its only for season 2

Resil keys are a mistake as it only really helps all the nolifers who can play the most, and invites people who really arent good enough to be playing at that key level purely because they have more time, basically a bandaid to people that are a worse
yeah i agree with this
i think it’s an interesting take but it’s misguided
i've already seen a bunch of people get boosted with resil keys
it does also help teams that don't play often, just not as much
I know my group would have played more last season if we could have just pushed stuff back up while chilling
STOP
the fabled gain
RIGHT THIS SECOND
+0.7%
is that a storm after coup to keep UB proc

is that what i'm seeing
yeh
the idea that nolifers with free time are the ones helped by resi keys isn’t entirely accurate since previously nolifers with free time were the ones who already didn’t need resi keys
no?
hahahahahha
see that's why I kind of expected new 2p to not be as big of a deal
amazing

we're so back
(back to doing stupid rotational things)
wouldn't be sub without it
wait so we have to relearn the dance rotation again
also that's exactly how goremaw plays fwiw 
it's not so complicated, you would basically just storm after coup in cds
but it would feel dirty
and wrong
escalating blade stacking beyond 4 when
Is backstab dead now?
No
You dont storm for DM
i guess it makes sense as an optimization because you're potentially losing x2 UBs if you strike after coup
which is half a coup
nah the DM doesn't matter
I understand that
The question for me was if the DM stack we get from storm is enough to not make us press backstab anymore. But apparently not and now we piano even more.
yeah dance about to become omega cursed in cds
PM just make the BS free to do
Do we attribute that 0.7% gain to 4p? Because we wouldn't do it without the tier set.
yeah because of the 30% chance from 2pc to proc UB twice
i mean technically the value of bs for dm depends on how early you're shadowstriking in dance, if you only do your first shadowstrike with 2s left in dance, then the extra dm stack from backstab is only technically there for the last 2s of dance
casting storm as a builder delays that shadowstrike
Storming on Mugzee looking correct. 
in eleem's screenshot above for example, it danced at 1:33 and still hasn't shadowstriked by 1:39
why are sub optimizations always the most cursed thing on earth
because the spec isn’t actually complete
damn u rocking the new tier already?
bet it’s not far off with current
when i checked it this tier it was not good
It is
This tier it's shite
It's just an optimisation for the new tier set
Doesn't make it less cursed
but again it was a joke since I was talking out of dance originally. so 
the spec is just cursed.
Not a whole lot since most of the damage it does is unseen blade anyway
Seems like ss is the second last global during dance
ye so in that specific dance, you're gaining value from the backstab dm stack for exactly 1 global
Yeah but you'd get that with ss too, no?
You lose ss damage and gain a dm stack
Yes, hence why the loss of using backstab instead is lower
You either do 400k + 1.6M or you do 1M+1.6M
Is the ub guaranteed there?
With sectec triggering shadowcraft, you'd have to have some really high sht stacks to get another one on coup
Or what do you mean with sht refunds?
tbh you dont actually need that many often
even without shaman buff coup is just so long
Well you dont always get the refund on sectech
just smacking dummies on ptr if i went into flag with 7-8 sht i often had enough to sectec coup coup
Ig the extra cdr from double coup allows you to hold longer, which gives you more sht stacks?
i only did a couple hours since new tier set but its kind of scuffed
On dummies rn I eventually get hard pressed to farm cdr
depending on when you proc stuff/if you're forced to overcap sometimes you get 2 dances between sometimes you don;t
I feel like using the extra cdr to hold more and juice our flags is better than going ham and trying to force double dances
that's what i ended up doing and overcapping a little bit and it seemed fine
but when you only do 1 dance between and end up going into flag having hit 2 dance charges 3-5 seconds ago
either you overcap or you send earlier and have to find a way to spend 50 extra combo points before flag (and then you int your flag window a bit by not having prepped coup/sht)
Maybe we can try to force the sim into either and see if there's a tangible dps delta
you get a slice and dice.
You get a slice and dice.
YOU get a slice and dice.

I genuinely can’t wait to see the s3 apl compared to the rotation assistant / one button from bliz.
I figure the activation button would just spec swap you to assa and call it a day.
Just when i think, 'I'm finally understanding sub' I look at this channel and realise that I know nothing 
what you don’t know can’t hurt you
But I've seen it now
I have the one button thing bound just to see what it recommends and sometimes I just
And it does hurt me
What I’m kinda curious with, and I haven’t tested it, in content like the delve solo boss if you’re playing outlaw is it recommending vanish so you reset the encounter?
Scath is a generational doomer fr
As long as Brann is there it shouldn’t reset
But sometimes spaghetti
I know it was a possibility in first season if he was incap/dead
Because otherwise that would be hilarious
I think that’s going to be next weeks shenanigans to test
after I get my raid buff done

There’s no crazy burst needed with this late of gear for underpin king since his shield is lil so it should be pretty easy testing
I know some of the delve bosses reset
Even with our lil buddy
stealth vanish good times
imagine blizzard designing encounters with rogue in mind
Nah only dk gets that luxury 
Blizz devs still trying to learn copilot
you wouldn't know it with that one thread on PTR forums asking where all the grip fights are lol
Copilot tries reading their code, promptly goes Skynet on the company
GMs have figured it out. Maybe they got advanced training.
Secret Phase last boss requires 4 DKs
blizzard were the good guys all along
we just couldn't know it...
also 4 warlock gates required.
my faceless multi-million dollar corporation
Maybe we need copilot to write the APL for sub. 🤔
It will make recommendations on what to do in the thirty seconds of pre flag holding
Maybe some ads for babbel or coding lessons
I play solitaire while waiting for energy between dances
I'm doing some daytrading
prism at 10s and 3mins (with pot) seems to be very close (around 15k dps) to using with blades fwiw
Gambling my life savings
Ig only if we don't get to 2nd pot
Yeah
Probably something for super long fights or for farm with high ilvl
well if its around 5mins its fine
you would only really lose at 6mins since you would get 2 pots in flag
i dont think potting exactly at 5mins with a raw dance or anything would be that big a gain
Ah I just misread your previous statement
Thought you meant potting at 3 min with fully stacked prism
I did
if you pot right on pull, you would ideally press it again around the 6min mark with that flag
so any fight shorter than 6mins your second pot is gonna be a bit shit
Aren't most progression fights around 7-8?
ye so only worth if that 3min pot would be worth more than getting 2 pots in flag
could see it on salhadar. from what i understand he has a 100% dmg amp around 3 mins
if you're holding prism one pot there is maybe better than 1 pot on pull and 1 pot at 6mins
There has not been any testing so we dont know when the amp is
There generally seem to be quite some amps, if tuning is somewhat decent it might be a good raid for us
Theyre not testing last bosses typically anyway

So we'll have to wait until later on to see the timings
True
Sub has to be quite awfully undertuned to not be good in a raid with this many amps
soo many amps
They cursed themself picking that spec
or they should rather stop using AI to assist them in this.. like some of the things couldnt have been conceptualized by real humans
oh wait u are talking about APL I thought you meant the spec design
nvm me xd
It would probably help them at this point with sub. 
maybe we would have a few more usually talent options
!guide
Should just ask grok how it would improve sub
I think today I’m gonna give the deathstalker set some actual play and see just how annoying it is
Only done some cursory looking so far
Is there a world where we end up playing deathstalker this tier?
Who knows

Idk why but I have a gut feeling the script gets flipped and ds ends up being the play
Truly cursed timeline
whats the difference going from trickster to ds? needing to keep track of a really annoying buff, and losing flurry as aoe?
i mean the whole burst window is cursed since less sectec cd and less cdr
Bc less cdr
Without silly tuning DS isnt going anywhere
When darkest night is up you have to eviscerate, which sometimes means you end up feeling bad since sectech gets delayed
I wasnt playing in s1, but why is it tighter for CDR?
aha
And coup is 5 extra cp
better hope trickster comes out on top lmao
So on ST your sectechs ends up delayed and you do more solo symbols (aka without dance)
And on aoe its cursed, since darkest night sucks ass in aoe
the vanish opener looks pretty strong with predisorienting btw eleem
You ideally strike other targets when youre at 1 stack of the mark
So you dont proc DN
you can just proc coup before even pressing blades (you can without the vanish opener but less often obviously)
If they keep lingering affecting trinkets then prism gets even better too
@swift tinsel im rebuilding my keybinds
sounds like uber jank for optimizing damage?
so i can start playing without single button sht
And if you accidently proc DN
Its best to cancelaura it
Since the mark doesnt work properly when DN is up
Good luck soldier 🫡
ohh that explains why it doesn't go up again when I'm playing assa
Well it doesnt go from 3 > 2 when darkest night is up
what's the name exactly? /cancelaura darkest night?
Assa doesnt really reapply their mark often
Is it just the s1 version or something new?
i think just the s1 one
Would you prism with blades or into second Sectech then?
If you’re stacking for 3min
Or just play it like a 1.5 at that point bc you’ll have a stack or two
For opener
Idk seems to be the same in my sims
sub has so many buttons wtf
not really
the idea was mostly that unseen blades just hit so much harder you don't want to waste the one extra you get from predisorienting like we do from current opener
Ok nvm when i forced the evis instead of it doing silly things it was a bit better ye
you may also want to throw in a black powder just in case 
if you do proc coup probably don't want to send it there before turning blades on
Nah, also bp doesnt give snd
ye there was just because coup procced
But ye only seems worth it with disorienting strikes prepped
you dont get slice but you do get the extra ub in that case
jk i cooked it, they're essentially the same
i still need to clean a lot of stuff up
With essentially the same you mean vanish opener vs "normal" opener?
rupture first vs. evis first
evis therefore just better imo because you always get snd (lower variance)
Probably cleaner if you don't always get disorienting
Can just play that one opener in both cases
i dont think its worth if you dont have predisorient
the main gain is from consuming all 3 unseen blades before your first sectec that predisorient gives you
That potential BP play tho 
💀
DS is so restrictive. I don't even think assassination enjoys playing it, they just play the lesser of two evils because Fatebound is even worse somehow. Can't target swap easily, can't open the way you want to, can't easily reapply mark, it's a mess.
Neither of those are really problems for sub
Maybe I just need more exposure to DS sub
No I think you need less
Well as assa you get darkest night and you hit it on a spatter target and do big aoe right
As sub you get darkest night and you cancelaura it and hit BP instead to do big aoe
Because darkest night only buffs eviscerate, which does not do any aoe
On an optimization level I think that's really cool, but as far as the intent of the spec goes I can't believe blizzard wants you to cancelaura, you know what I mean
Is it really cool that you ignore the entire point of the tree?
It’s definitely not what blizzard wants you to do they just haven’t gotten to reworking it
I think it's cool in the sense rogue players are determined enough to do well regardless of restrictive hero talent design
but it really does highlight how poorly thought out the rogue hero trees are
It’s not cool. It’s shit design.
rogues have been figuring out degen things since IRC was our main communication hub.
I think we're saying the same thing, it's just that I haven't been here in this community long enough to feel comfortable being so direct about it lol
Spec design and talent are garbage
Midnight rework 🙏
The last titan rework 🙏
You can’t say it’s cool then say we’re stating the same thing. It’s blatantly horrific design by the devs not fully flushing out not only the base spec but any and all of the rogue hero talents.
fuck it, tww rework
DS Sub is gonna be INSANE in 13.2 guys
hes saying that its cool that rogues have managerd to find such a unique niche weird thing to improve on the aoe. not that the design is cool
Maybe they just delete rogue by then
atleast thats how im taking it
to be clear I wasn't praising the design of DS, I was praising the ingenuity of the rogue playerbase
Armin is correct
it’s not cool that we have to even look at shit like this. yay for hard work trying to figure out how moronic the devs are
someone is using thier free time to figure out the degen shit. Not being paid.
so it says alpha release was spring 2024 for tww
deathstalker was the last thing released so im guessin maybe may?
the quote i could find from myself in the archive tww-sub channel is from june 9
i cant find earlier
but i remember when we saw the tree on wowhead, without even testing it or anything
we could tell that they are beyond stupid and that capstone is not proccable for sub
thats not hard work
thats litearlly 0 work
I think they’re waiting to finish the 10.1 rework, then tackle the hero talents. 
just reading
I’m talking the work out into the apl
And figuring out the degen shit in general .
insane this took these giga geniuses 1.5 months to fix
ah another banger
i forgot about max thinking rogues are just bitchign to bitch
then read the fucking tripple feint on pull technique
and was like no shot devs are this bad
xdddd
for a second bro forgot hes being paid to not let out how bad these things are
his dumbass heard "funnel" and got a boner
I mean realz hangs out in my (max) stream while we talk specs and JPC says rogue is perfect. Clearly discord is delulu
at least it’s fun

11.2.5 we're gonna get hit with the most banger fixes including fully fleshed out aoe gameplay, trickster and deathstalker updates, spec tree lookin immaculate
trust
certainly not hopium of the highest order
where is the friction going to be to power said hopium?
from all the sin and outlaw players flocking to it
and bitching that their trees aren't as good
they should just rename one of the capstone friction
it randomly turns off one of your spec interactions
sht no longer refunds
sf doesn't proc with fw up
15% rng for Shadow Dmg to work
jk sf would be shot into space
theyre gonna touch up a little on hero talents, do another half ass job, change 3 talents and thats your 12.0
have fun
3, that’s a very generous outlook
and doesn't give any extra cdr beyond the cp you spend
there’s a better chance of them fixing something in the rogue general tree before 3 sub talents get addressed properly
nah it'll only be fatebound fixes
Which would be cold blood
but not the shit the bed aoe one
im a bit extra cranky i think today lmfao. after MSI i went to an afterparty and was drinking till 4 am, then woke up today and went to gym at 8 am hungover and tired as fuck. a bit giga cranky. also @wind canopy couldnt make it with us to MSI so a bit sadge there too
so they're still dumpstered as soon as a second target appears
it shall pass ig
oof, I cannot workout hungover or I become a puke fountain
yeh its not fun! but had to do it
legs 💀
yikes 
on my 2nd set of squats I knew i was fucked
that was mine today too and I couldn't imagine
its fine, it was worth it! yesterday was a banger
i think there was like 4-5k people at the stadium
there was so much passion for the competition
watching league live has gotta be so much fun
dude i lost my voice and my hearing
lmao I bet!
during the blg vs t1 series, everytime faker would do something or keria would get a catch the crowd would go soooooo insane i could legit not hear anything
also i got a pick with cptn floewrs, azeal, and laure

siiiiiiiick
we're thinking with friends to make a yearly tradition to fly out to worlds every year
its such a fun event
i watched the stream and that series was amazing, can't imagine what it was like in person
this was just MSI imaigne world finals
it was amazing, when crowd was chanting T1 i could feel the ground shaking
also the couple next to us were BLG fans who flew in from china
and the guy was crying
o7 to that guy
Playing the ds set has me convinced they tried to find a way to make our cooldown window feel just objectively worse in every way
The parts that feel bad about aoe creep into st gameplay
Might be exacerbated bc I’m playing without skyfury but mechanically its cheeks
bad hero talents are bad. News at 11. 
and made worse by tier set
Who wins MSI?
cfo clears
!fuu

idk man im stonks on T1 Geng and AL
like shanks was actually easily matching chovy
AL fixes a few things and i could easily see them win
T1 also gets dorans shit together and i could easily see them win
they already have the better botlane
faker can def match
and oner can also match imo
Idk Chovy has had fakers number for years
Like last worlds was Peyz running it down
Im actually hoping its AL cause I've been on the Shanks train for years but idk
A bit worried about Flandre into kiin
idk about that one lol. this LCK season? sure faker was gapped in regular season but last world faker was way more useful than chovy was the entire tournament
the worlds before that? same
flandre looked fine into kiin the issue wasnt top imo
faker was insane on worlds last year
he for sure carried games with sylas and galio
Faker did indeed go crazy mode last year but tbf if you look at the context of the tournament he had a horror show game 1-2-3 and clutched game 4 and had knight throw into them in game 5 by flash charming air in the finals.
And may we all remember Peyz walking into melee range skarner ult and throwing the entire game
With cleanse
So he can't even blame being slowed walking into it
Congrats!
Next time go for the grey parse. More rewarding CE. 
Thinking about padding on adds and getting good log got me killed. Kinda ironic
he also solo carried game 4 and game 5
whereas chovy may have been the most useless player of the entire worlds
bro had 0 games where he was erven visible
doesn't matter which one of them wins, they'll lose to cfo anyway
honq my goat
Anyone know any good sub rouge coaching?
ask away in this channel most people here are very welcoming if you want to know sub specific questions
most stuff you can read in the wowhead guide
Just how gear/stat dependent is sub rouge? im geared for outlaw but have some biss sub stuff, like trinkes and daggers
Thank you
As long as you dont stack haste youre fine
You don't like haste
Rest is w/e really
Like yes you want mastery and versa but it won't make or break you playing well
So your 15k is doing basically nothing as sub
ah ok
All it does really is shadow technique procs and a little more energy outside of CDs
You can post your logs after doing !log here and someone might look at them
thank you
so i need to start getting rid of haste and into vers/mastery
all my craft gear is haste vers
Other main difference besides weapons is that House of Cards is required
yeah i got house of cards
So just recraft my gear to mastery/vers and i should start seeing better overall?
Based on what you’ve said, yes
Thank you
Best bet is to sim your gear though
How would simming my gear help with that? i dont quite understand sims
So basically the main value in simming is comparing between two sims
So you can select a recrafted version of your existing equipment using vers/mast instead of vers/haste and the sim will generate all possible combinations of what the equipment could be
ohhh ok thats cool
It’s a very sure way to gear your character
If all you think about is “I need vers and mast” you’ll reach a point where you’d be better off with one or two pieces with crit on it, simulating your character will tell you where that point is

at this point id be happy if they just fixed cold blood for assa fb
or put cold blood cdr on tier set idk
Too iconic of a pvp spell
i'm still kinda annoyed they decided to give sin 1.5 min cd
Can’t change it
well
you have to at least appreicate that
FB aoe is still poor
and usually its not just one add that needs to die
so sub still is the better 1:30 if tuning is roughly equal
and sub is still more loaded into its cds
i dont think its that bad to give to sin considering there are a lot of sin players that maybe dont want to play sub but feel like they are being forced to by fight design
so fb is like maybe meeting them half-way
like at the beginning of this tier you saw a lot of sin-only players have some trouble with sub because they thought assa was doa
the problem is they have literally given assa everything that made outlaw/sub a unique spec
They need shit removed. Not given more.
DS assa isn’t a bleed / dot spec. It’s an envenom simulator in raid.
all they need to do is make it go on CD when you press it and not when you consume it
and if you’re playing content that needs to optimize for a fight (CE Mythic) you should be able to play the class and not just a single spec.
agree with you here
maybe thats because of amp poison
amp poison and both hero talents being envenom buffers
dots are just irrelevant in ST and barely relevant for adds.
dots are just the engine
kinda happens when you can just splatter everything
it feels weird
i kinda like the older design of spacing out envenoms
many did
i forget the yellow buff you got from finishers on assa
when you played around that uptime
one day when i ask people whats the most powerful sub rogue talent
people will get it right
ONE DAY
The respec talent?
ive been saying shadow focus is giga broken for motnhs now. pls nerf to 1% man
not atm no, all 3 specs kinda suck ass
11.2 reroll talent.

I’m curious if they’ll address any of the FB stuff for assa. I’m assuming our end gets more of what we got this tier.
considering its assa then yeah they will fix it
TFD for me. It’s just a little cringe which makes it perfect for sub talents.
comparing tfd to sf is actually insulting
go back to league. 
currently watching yamamotos new msi prediction video
can play a game. What spec talents on sub are actually good and something you’d say you can’t live without
yepge
relentless strikes
5% of them?
xdxdddddxdxdd
i win
imagine youre new to the spec
dont know much
talent
stuff randomly
huh whats this relentless strikes in the middle of nowhere
locked behind a bunch of shit
eh ill pass
o7

holy yamamoto putting shanks and honq over chovy and faker
and its actually true
what a banger
honq the goat
@tepid trellis did you stay assa for your reclears or swap over to sub?
ive been sub since buffs
I actually have to look at fights again for our first reclear. 
im not playing rogue this reset tho
Enhance?
splits or?
yep
Requirements the same as what colour had or more?
couldn’t remember
basically a week1 toon and done
😲
Now you can do all the sub keys you want at 19
oh shit true
but i think i'd rather sit in lfg and not get invited to the extremely few 20s that are ever up 🙂
some people i used to run with who never invite me anymore have a 20 dfc queued
not even gonna bother trying to sign up for it
They gonna brick that shit fr
haha who knows
Not until the prophet has it timed
so we hit the point at which most people are stuck at
so it's time to buckle down and be ready for pain and suffering lol
nice!
yeah i ran a dfc with a group and we timed it with a lot of time left
Spooky at 20
Dfc so free
I’m honestly not that intimidated by rookery but that’s just subtlety hubris
Ik itll rock my shit
yeah the 19 rook i did i carried the fuck out of the key
Very fun for sub
Wonder if that swap after 2nd boss is worth
Ah
I just do the whole thing as sub but change build
Why sin for first half?
when i timed it i still topped overall even when afk for 1 pull
Nice
it just does way more aoe
Hm
plus i run bleed garotte for first half
WHAT
it makes kicks way easier
???
hell yeah
What da
bleed gets a bad rap
Like full bleed build?
Ain’t no way
I do think tho iw is bis for bleed build
Since mobs get grouped so well
What is your boss Dam like
it's not bad because you're chaining half the 1st room on the 1st boss
I mean like 2nd boss must be miserable then no?
it's ok
What are you doing on that boss
like you're not doing amazing boss dam, but it's not too shabby
honestly not sure, never looked
Outside of the 100mil you’re doing to the civilians 
haha yeah
i saw shindigg do it that way
I run with a mostly meta comp so as long as they’re on top of their stops it’s smooth first half
hrm this is not right
Yeah it’s wrong
must be showing current talents
It’s not from logs it’s from bliz api
Wonder how bleed does there
and the tank asked "hey could you run that iron wire build again, made the rookery so free"
but we got a boomy for the psf so i just went back to hybrid haha
it does a metric fuckton of trash damage
with bleed nah
As hybrid I mean
I think bleed with dh though is insanely overkill
And Boomie ofc
Losing out on magic dam too
And you can also drop haste for more vers
And lose less dam
I run like no haste in that build but
in bleed you run no haste?
i tried running lower haste in bleed but it feels SO bad in st
No in fi
AHH yeah
i tried my best to drop as much haste as possible
and i have ~21% vers fully buffed in hybrid
yeah outlaw defensiveness so op 😦
Lived two casts at the same time from the guys after 1st boss in ml 19 without evasion or cloak
lol nice
It’s silly
It’s a lot when you consider they won’t be having KS issues anymore
how is outlaw more tanky than sub?
ah yeah
Vanish healing
you reset evasion and feint with restless
Vanish removing effects
bring on deathstalker outlaw
Yeah cdr on that and evasion
