LLM's are gonna burst and everybody will go to shit

lilac stag
#

Everything is cooked, not just tech

keen dome
#

Microsft cutting 9000+ jobs 'cos Copilot is shitting itself to death at a 30b+ investment that's made like, 500m at most.

pliant topaz
keen dome
#

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.

pliant topaz
#

yeah i meant not sure why that would really happen

#

a lot of things have already been replaced or heavily integrated

#

and theyre fine

chrome palm
#

i mean openai isnt exactly printing money

keen dome
#

I mean Microsoft have put 30 billion into it and made a fraciton of that back. It devours cash.

chrome palm
#

they just keep securing investment

pliant topaz
#

oh yeah for sure

chrome palm
#

surely it will pay off

#

eventually

pliant topaz
#

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

keen dome
#

Yeah, but at the same time they're mandating that everybody in microsoft has to use copilot.

pliant topaz
#

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

hollow spear
#

I feel like the truth with AI is somewhere in the middle

keen dome
#

it's not

hollow spear
#

Some people make it sound like it's the second coming of jesus#

#

Others say it will die and never do anything

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

I think its already proved to be very very useful

pliant topaz
#

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

chrome palm
#

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

pliant topaz
#

this is employment rate

#

meaning unemployment is up 2%

#

right now in canada its the highest its been since sep 2016

chrome palm
#

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

pliant topaz
#

Yeah unemployment rate always undershows

chrome palm
#

i think the desparity has increased in recent years

swift tinsel
#

Ye

hollow spear
#

I get the feeling the next years will be come quite the shitshow garf_sit

swift tinsel
#

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

pliant topaz
#

aight its time to go watch MSI. Cant wait to meet laure in person! o7

alpine wraith
#

dont worry everyone knows sub players are invaluable to the world

#

so we cant become unemployed

chrome palm
brittle plinth
#

We hide well

alpine wraith
#

many will die

chrome palm
#

people got classic wow world pvp prejudice

alpine wraith
#

but we wont

brittle plinth
alpine wraith
#

we are dozens so harder to kill all us of

#

with spread we are

brittle plinth
#

We don't multiply

alpine wraith
#

i wonder if classic pandaria will have the deadly throw situation

#

was very fun

chrome palm
#

hachadino... you have rogues under your floorboards, do you not?

alpine wraith
#

not for others

#

but for me

potent relic
#

!up

prisma rain
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

also just though about prism and forge

swift tinsel
#

Seems viable

#

Very likely better than lily bc lily is stinky

#

Unless they buff it so it’s not barely better than house

hollow spear
#

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

alpine wraith
#

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

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, forge is the closest we get to a 3min on-use to play with prism

swift tinsel
#

Idk how your guild distributes loot

hazy breach
#

Or just get pacemaker

swift tinsel
#

Ye that too

hazy breach
#

And/or the delve trinkets, depending on exactly which ones are available

vestal escarp
#

Crystal is back

swift tinsel
#

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

chrome palm
#

Mastery delve trinket not too bad I think

swift tinsel
#

But we probs can’t get it

#

Voidstone?

chrome palm
#

But I’m not a big believe

#

Believer

swift tinsel
#

Was annoying to play with when I tried it

chrome palm
#

Since you don’t get first pull and what not

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, it procced in a weird spot too

chrome palm
#

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

swift tinsel
#

Idk if I ever saw a hero track drink on my rogue lol

#

And I did 8/8 most weeks for achiev progress

alpine wraith
#

i got it on my alt

#

but not main

swift tinsel
#

I need to summon the will to finish darkfuse farm

#

Thankfully darkmoon starts tomorrow I think so less needed

runic trail
#

I just hit honoured but thats just through normal undermine stuff

swift tinsel
#

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

brittle plinth
#

Darkfuse rep is exhausting

swift tinsel
#

got about 4-5 hours left that I'm about to start

bleak night
swift tinsel
#

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

bleak night
#

i havent built up the willpower to do it yet

swift tinsel
#

groups are hit or miss so it can get frustrating

bleak night
#

but will prob just do it on boomkin

swift tinsel
#

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

bleak night
#

or just take off some gear

brittle plinth
#

unzips

swift tinsel
#

another disbando

#

lmao

fleet wharf
#

Hey, whats the move that used to give us funnel called again? you guy call it combo but I dunno what it is

fleet wharf
#

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

molten citrus
#

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

fleet wharf
#

I kind of get it though. I just ran a key as assa bleed build and the funnel in that build is already insane

molten citrus
#

I think it also went through multiple iterations and nerfs

fleet wharf
#

but yea, also wasn't playing at the time, thanks for the clarification

molten citrus
#

So that tooltip might be from after it was nerfed

shrewd lantern
haughty rose
#

anything wrong with using 684 PvE set gear for PvP? it's prtty much the same as max PvP gear right?

fleet wharf
#

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?

tribal blade
#

yeah there's for sure more to it

fleet wharf
#

if I have a kingsbane ticking up, does the damage also get splattered?

tribal blade
#

it's basically raid build with IC and CT

fleet wharf
#

am I mega sad if the mob dies before kingsbane finishes or what?

tribal blade
#

kingsbane, envenom, and even poison bomb spatters

tribal blade
#

that's why it sucks in low keys

#

you need a big target to live the entire duration of your cds

fleet wharf
#

makes sense

(gzzz, youre mogging me as im stuck around 3.8 garf_sit)

plush roost
#

LOL

#

14 floodgate is beyond me unfortunately

hazy breach
#

I think my floodgate is a 10 or some shit garf_sit

#

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

lean cradle
#

how much would you say sub is behind to outlaw/assa in raid rn?

warm marlin
#

they're pretty much all the same

hazy breach
#

In raid pretty much same ye, and maybe 5% or so behind in keys

tribal blade
#

@plush roost @hazy breach i'm gonna be in priory hell for a little bit

#

and then on to getting 0 invites for 20s 🙂

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

i'm just worried because i don't have a team

hazy breach
#

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

tribal blade
#

yeah it definitely looks that way

#

the good thing is i've been running with quite a few phys comp teams recently

hazy breach
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
#

That boss is too long for how locked in you need to be

tribal blade
#

they should have changed the gears

#

just like they changed stuff for next season

hazy breach
#

Im personally a hater of the blue circle

tribal blade
#

less upfront damage but leaves a dot

tribal blade
#

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

hazy breach
#

Obviously you just "get gud" and dont die, but ye, a bit too much imo

tribal blade
#

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

in eu you need resi 19 for title i believe

hazy breach
#

Ye all 19s is pretty much spot on title right now in eu

tribal blade
tribal blade
opal basalt
#

resilient keys really pushed the bar

molten citrus
#

Turbo boost ilvl and key nerfs help

opal basalt
#

that too yeah

molten citrus
warm marlin
#

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

fleet wharf
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

alpine wraith
#

i think resil is an oferall positive

#

likely there are way more people playing because of that

tribal blade
#

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

alpine wraith
#

i mean same as how gamblers hate playing dice but still make time to waste some time throwing some black quicks

tribal blade
#

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

tribal blade
#

and then eventually "holy shit i hate the resil system" and then log off for the night

fleet wharf
#

so they dislike it allows players to just ram their head in against the key until they eventually time it?

alpine wraith
#

people need to learn that they enjoy the struggle in the moment

#

even if afterwards you think you wasted your time

alpine wraith
#

it was still enjoyable

tribal blade
#

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

fleet wharf
#

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?

alpine wraith
#

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

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

then having to find someone with that one and time it

tribal blade
#

you run out the charges and then it depletes

fleet wharf
#

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

tribal blade
#

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

nocturne hollow
#

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

tribal blade
#

so they can just freeload off that person basically

tribal blade
fleet wharf
#

Charges would kind of fix that problem right?

fleet wharf
#

wait, but isn't it more ethical to be not pressing BP if you are to push as sub?

tribal blade
#

that's what i'm starting to see

nocturne hollow
tribal blade
#

there is no answer, just tradeoffs

tribal blade
#

sub is not bad, it's just not at that level

nocturne hollow
warm marlin
tribal blade
#

yeah it's a big problem with sub

#

either do prio or do aoe

#

and as sin you do both

#

very well

warm marlin
#

also bp is still like a high % of an eviscerate right

#

like 85%

hazy breach
#

Thats with the deathstalker talent

#

Its like 70% or so as trickster iirc

tribal blade
#

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

fathom adder
#

how do you see where that jump-bleed-boss jumps at? he seems not to target the person or does he

ive got a take on this season

#

that i got some hate for by some friends xD

tribal blade
#

oo hit me

#

i wanna hear this

uneven fern
#

they get disabled when the patch drops

hazy breach
uneven fern
tepid trellis
# tribal blade i wanna hear this

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

uneven fern
#

i think it’s an interesting take but it’s misguided

tribal blade
#

i've already seen a bunch of people get boosted with resil keys

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

@tepid trellis @warm marlin

warm marlin
#

I know my group would have played more last season if we could have just pushed stuff back up while chilling

tepid trellis
warm marlin
tepid trellis
#

RIGHT THIS SECOND

hazy breach
#

+0.7%

tribal blade
#

is that a storm after coup to keep UB proc

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

is that what i'm seeing

tepid trellis
#

yeh

uneven fern
#

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?

tribal blade
#

hahahahahha

warm marlin
tribal blade
#

amazing

uneven fern
tribal blade
#

we're so back

#

(back to doing stupid rotational things)

#

wouldn't be sub without it

fleet wharf
#

wait so we have to relearn the dance rotation again

warm marlin
#

also that's exactly how goremaw plays fwiw garf

tribal blade
#

but it would feel dirty

#

and wrong

tepid trellis
#

not the first time we have done this

#

unfortunately

hazy breach
#

I love not casting strike

#

Backstabing and storming instead garf_sit

tribal blade
#

escalating blade stacking beyond 4 when

tepid trellis
#

i do like the piano

#

but it just feels wrong

hollow spear
#

Is backstab dead now?

hazy breach
#

No

hollow spear
#

You storm AND backstab?

#

For DM?

hazy breach
#

You dont storm for DM

tribal blade
#

i guess it makes sense as an optimization because you're potentially losing x2 UBs if you strike after coup

hollow spear
#

Yeah ik

#

But you get a dm stack from storm

tribal blade
#

which is half a coup

hollow spear
#

So I thought maybe that's enough

#

And we stop using the single backstab

tribal blade
#

nah the DM doesn't matter

hollow spear
#

Well it does rn

#

Or else we wouldn't backstab once

tribal blade
#

for backstab yeah

#

for storm it's purely to not lose UB

hollow spear
#

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.

tribal blade
#

yeah dance about to become omega cursed in cds

tepid trellis
#

PM just make the BS free to do

hollow spear
#

Do we attribute that 0.7% gain to 4p? Because we wouldn't do it without the tier set.

tribal blade
#

yeah because of the 30% chance from 2pc to proc UB twice

warm marlin
# tribal blade nah the DM doesn't matter

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

hollow spear
#

I'd be curious how much of a gain the backstab is now

#

It should lose value

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

in eleem's screenshot above for example, it danced at 1:33 and still hasn't shadowstriked by 1:39

tribal blade
#

why are sub optimizations always the most cursed thing on earth

lilac stag
#

because the spec isn’t actually complete

tepid trellis
lilac stag
#

bet it’s not far off with current

warm marlin
#

when i checked it this tier it was not good

hollow spear
#

It is

#

This tier it's shite

#

It's just an optimisation for the new tier set

#

Doesn't make it less cursed

lilac stag
#

but again it was a joke since I was talking out of dance originally. so dracthyr_shrug

#

the spec is just cursed.

hazy breach
vestal escarp
#

Wth happened

hollow spear
warm marlin
#

ye so in that specific dance, you're gaining value from the backstab dm stack for exactly 1 global

hollow spear
#

You lose ss damage and gain a dm stack

hazy breach
#

Yes, hence why the loss of using backstab instead is lower

#

You either do 400k + 1.6M or you do 1M+1.6M

hollow spear
#

Is the ub guaranteed there?

hazy breach
#

But also you often get shadow tech refunds on the coup anyway

#

Which is better

hollow spear
#

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?

warm marlin
#

even without shaman buff coup is just so long

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

just smacking dummies on ptr if i went into flag with 7-8 sht i often had enough to sectec coup coup

hollow spear
#

Ig the extra cdr from double coup allows you to hold longer, which gives you more sht stacks?

warm marlin
#

i only did a couple hours since new tier set but its kind of scuffed

hollow spear
#

On dummies rn I eventually get hard pressed to farm cdr

warm marlin
#

depending on when you proc stuff/if you're forced to overcap sometimes you get 2 dances between sometimes you don;t

hollow spear
#

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

warm marlin
#

Shrug 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)

hollow spear
#

Maybe we can try to force the sim into either and see if there's a tangible dps delta

It ain’t much and it ain’t honest work

I think that’s going to be next weeks shenanigans to test

after I get my raid buff done HOLY garf

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 play solitaire while waiting for energy between dances

hollow spear
#

I'm doing some daytrading

warm marlin
#

prism at 10s and 3mins (with pot) seems to be very close (around 15k dps) to using with blades fwiw

hollow spear
#

Gambling my life savings

warm marlin
#

probably worth doing on amp fights

#

maybe not worth saving pot if you lose a cast

hollow spear
#

Ig only if we don't get to 2nd pot

#

Yeah

#

Probably something for super long fights or for farm with high ilvl

warm marlin
#

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

hollow spear
#

Ah I just misread your previous statement

#

Thought you meant potting at 3 min with fully stacked prism

warm marlin
#

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

hollow spear
#

Aren't most progression fights around 7-8?

warm marlin
#

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

hollow spear
#

I agree

#

Last boss had its amp at 4?

There has not been any testing so we dont know when the amp is

hollow spear
#

There generally seem to be quite some amps, if tuning is somewhat decent it might be a good raid for us

hazy breach
#

Theyre not testing last bosses typically anyway

hollow spear
hazy breach
#

So we'll have to wait until later on to see the timings

hollow spear
#

True

hazy breach
#

Sub has to be quite awfully undertuned to not be good in a raid with this many amps

warm marlin
#

soo many amps

hollow spear
#

I love them amps

#

Outlaws cursing raid devs again

fallow nimbus
#

They cursed themself picking that spec

proven plover
#

oh wait u are talking about APL I thought you meant the spec design

#

nvm me xd

lilac stag
#

It would probably help them at this point with sub. garf_sit

#

maybe we would have a few more usually talent options

frail skiff
#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
hollow spear
#

Should just ask grok how it would improve sub

frail skiff
#

@hollow spearhey

#

i gave up on any other specs but sub 100%

swift tinsel
#

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

fleet wharf
#

Is there a world where we end up playing deathstalker this tier?

swift tinsel
#

Who knows

hazy breach
#

With current tuning no

#

But who knows what theyll do

fleet wharf
swift tinsel
#

Idk why but I have a gut feeling the script gets flipped and ds ends up being the play

#

Truly cursed timeline

fleet wharf
#

whats the difference going from trickster to ds? needing to keep track of a really annoying buff, and losing flurry as aoe?

swift tinsel
#

Lose flurry, cheeks aoe gameplay

#

Flag windows tighter with second Sectech

warm marlin
#

i mean the whole burst window is cursed since less sectec cd and less cdr

swift tinsel
#

Bc less cdr

vestal escarp
#

Without silly tuning DS isnt going anywhere

hazy breach
#

When darkest night is up you have to eviscerate, which sometimes means you end up feeling bad since sectech gets delayed

fleet wharf
#

I wasnt playing in s1, but why is it tighter for CDR?

hazy breach
#

Trickster gives cdr

#

10% on sectech

fleet wharf
#

aha

hazy breach
#

And coup is 5 extra cp

fleet wharf
#

better hope trickster comes out on top lmao

hazy breach
#

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

warm marlin
#

the vanish opener looks pretty strong with predisorienting btw eleem

hazy breach
#

You ideally strike other targets when youre at 1 stack of the mark

#

So you dont proc DN

warm marlin
#

you can just proc coup before even pressing blades (you can without the vanish opener but less often obviously)

swift tinsel
#

If they keep lingering affecting trinkets then prism gets even better too

frail skiff
#

@swift tinsel im rebuilding my keybinds

fleet wharf
frail skiff
#

so i can start playing without single button sht

hazy breach
#

And if you accidently proc DN

#

Its best to cancelaura it

#

Since the mark doesnt work properly when DN is up

swift tinsel
fleet wharf
#

ohh that explains why it doesn't go up again when I'm playing assa

hazy breach
#

Well it doesnt go from 3 > 2 when darkest night is up

fleet wharf
#

what's the name exactly? /cancelaura darkest night?

hazy breach
#

Assa doesnt really reapply their mark often

hollow spear
warm marlin
#

i think just the s1 one

swift tinsel
#

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

hazy breach
#

Idk seems to be the same in my sims

warm marlin
#

or prism

steel jolt
#

sub has so many buttons wtf

lilac stag
#

not really

warm marlin
#

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

hazy breach
#

Ok nvm when i forced the evis instead of it doing silly things it was a bit better ye

warm marlin
#

you may also want to throw in a black powder just in case kekW

#

if you do proc coup probably don't want to send it there before turning blades on

hazy breach
#

Well its the first finisher for snd

#

So you wouldnt have coup

warm marlin
#

oh i thought the old opener had you rupture first

#

like so

hazy breach
#

Nah, also bp doesnt give snd

warm marlin
#

ye there was just because coup procced

hazy breach
#

But ye only seems worth it with disorienting strikes prepped

warm marlin
#

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

hollow spear
#

With essentially the same you mean vanish opener vs "normal" opener?

warm marlin
#

rupture first vs. evis first

#

evis therefore just better imo because you always get snd (lower variance)

hollow spear
#

Probably cleaner if you don't always get disorienting

#

Can just play that one opener in both cases

warm marlin
#

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

hollow spear
#

That potential BP play tho HOLY

warm marlin
#

💀

tender granite
#

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.

hazy breach
#

Neither of those are really problems for sub

tender granite
#

Maybe I just need more exposure to DS sub

chrome palm
#

No I think you need less

hazy breach
#

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

tender granite
#

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

hazy breach
#

Is it really cool that you ignore the entire point of the tree?

chrome palm
#

It’s definitely not what blizzard wants you to do they just haven’t gotten to reworking it

tender granite
#

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

lilac stag
#

It’s not cool. It’s shit design.

#

rogues have been figuring out degen things since IRC was our main communication hub.

tender granite
lilac stag
#

Spec design and talent are garbage

chrome palm
#

Midnight rework 🙏

chrome palm
#

The last titan rework 🙏

lilac stag

#

fuck it, tww rework

chrome palm
#

DS Sub is gonna be INSANE in 13.2 guys

pliant topaz
lilac stag
pliant topaz
#

atleast thats how im taking it

tender granite
#

Armin is correct

lilac stag
pliant topaz
#

hard work?

#

hmm let me see if i can find it brb

lilac stag
#

someone is using thier free time to figure out the degen shit. Not being paid.

pliant topaz
#

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

lilac stag
#

I think they’re waiting to finish the 10.1 rework, then tackle the hero talents. omegalul

pliant topaz
#

just reading

lilac stag
#

I’m talking the work out into the apl

pliant topaz
lilac stag
#

And figuring out the degen shit in general .

pliant topaz
#

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

lilac stag
#

I mean realz hangs out in my (max) stream while we talk specs and JPC says rogue is perfect. Clearly discord is delulu

pliant topaz
#

ythinking blizz would let anything meaningful to be given to rogue xddd

#

w/e

lilac stag
#

at least it’s fun garf_sit omegalul kekdog

swift tinsel
#

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

lilac stag
#

where is the friction going to be to power said hopium?

swift tinsel
#

from all the sin and outlaw players flocking to it

#

and bitching that their trees aren't as good

lilac stag
#

they should just rename one of the capstone friction

swift tinsel
#

it randomly turns off one of your spec interactions

#

sht no longer refunds

#

sf doesn't proc with fw up

lilac stag
#

15% rng for Shadow Dmg to work

swift tinsel
#

jk sf would be shot into space

pliant topaz
#

theyre gonna touch up a little on hero talents, do another half ass job, change 3 talents and thats your 12.0

#

have fun

swift tinsel
#

ye most likely

#

or they add eb stacks but it consumes a random amount bc fuck you

lilac stag
#

3, that’s a very generous outlook

swift tinsel
#

and doesn't give any extra cdr beyond the cp you spend

lilac stag
#

there’s a better chance of them fixing something in the rogue general tree before 3 sub talents get addressed properly

swift tinsel
#

nah it'll only be fatebound fixes

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

but not the shit the bed aoe one

pliant topaz
#

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

swift tinsel
#

so they're still dumpstered as soon as a second target appears

pliant topaz
#

it shall pass ig

swift tinsel
#

oof, I cannot workout hungover or I become a puke fountain

pliant topaz
#

yeh its not fun! but had to do it

swift tinsel
#

I respect the grind pepe_chad

#

what day was it in your split?

pliant topaz
#

legs 💀

swift tinsel
#

yikes Reeeee

pliant topaz
#

on my 2nd set of squats I knew i was fucked

swift tinsel
#

that was mine today too and I couldn't imagine

pliant topaz
#

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

swift tinsel
#

watching league live has gotta be so much fun

pliant topaz
#

dude i lost my voice and my hearing

swift tinsel
#

lmao I bet!

pliant topaz
#

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

swift tinsel
#

siiiiiiiick

pliant topaz
#

we're thinking with friends to make a yearly tradition to fly out to worlds every year

#

its such a fun event

tender granite
pliant topaz
#

this was just MSI imaigne world finals

swift tinsel
#

also Laure dracthyr_heart

#

dude worlds has to be the most insane event on the planet

pliant topaz
#

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

tender granite
#

oh man, poor guy

#

that's passion for sure lol

pliant topaz
#

cant wait to do the world thingy every year tbh

#

so much adrenaline ahha

haughty mural
#

noice

#

can imgagine the crowd going crazy after the final game and score

swift tinsel
#

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

lilac stag
#

bad hero talents are bad. News at 11. feelsloveman

and made worse by tier set

gg gally finally dead

the pull that my log isnt purple or orange is the kill always

pliant topaz
#

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

plush roost
#

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

pliant topaz
#

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

haughty mural
#

faker was insane on worlds last year

#

he for sure carried games with sylas and galio

plush roost
#

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

proper latch
#

Finally got CE

#

And green parse

runic trail
#

Congrats!

lilac stag
#

Next time go for the grey parse. More rewarding CE. HOLY

proper latch

Thinking about padding on adds and getting good log got me killed. Kinda ironic

pliant topaz

whereas chovy may have been the most useless player of the entire worlds

nocturne hollow
#

Anyone know any good sub rouge coaching?

steel zinc
#

most stuff you can read in the wowhead guide

nocturne hollow
#

Just how gear/stat dependent is sub rouge? im geared for outlaw but have some biss sub stuff, like trinkes and daggers

hazy breach
#

As long as you dont stack haste youre fine

steel zinc
#

Rest is w/e really

#

Like yes you want mastery and versa but it won't make or break you playing well

nocturne hollow
#

i got around 15k haste, is that really troll?

#

10k mastery

chrome palm
#

So your 15k is doing basically nothing as sub

nocturne hollow
#

ah ok

chrome palm
#

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

nocturne hollow
#

thank you

#

so i need to start getting rid of haste and into vers/mastery

#

all my craft gear is haste vers

chrome palm
#

Other main difference besides weapons is that House of Cards is required

nocturne hollow
#

yeah i got house of cards

#

So just recraft my gear to mastery/vers and i should start seeing better overall?

chrome palm
#

Based on what you’ve said, yes

nocturne hollow
#

Thank you

chrome palm
nocturne hollow
#

How would simming my gear help with that? i dont quite understand sims

chrome palm
#

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

nocturne hollow
#

ohhh ok thats cool

chrome palm
#

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

chrome palm
#

or put cold blood cdr on tier set idk

lilac stag
#

Too iconic of a pvp spell

tribal blade
#

i'm still kinda annoyed they decided to give sin 1.5 min cd

lilac stag
#

Can’t change it

chrome palm
#

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

lilac stag
#

They need shit removed. Not given more.

#

DS assa isn’t a bleed / dot spec. It’s an envenom simulator in raid.

tepid trellis
lilac stag
#

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.

chrome palm
#

maybe thats because of amp poison

#

amp poison and both hero talents being envenom buffers

lilac stag
#

dots are just irrelevant in ST and barely relevant for adds.

tepid trellis
#

dots are just the engine

lilac stag
#

kinda happens when you can just splatter everything

tepid trellis
#

envenom is what moves u

#

the wheels

chrome palm
#

it feels weird

lilac stag
#

blindside is the turbo boost.

chrome palm
#

i kinda like the older design of spacing out envenoms

pliant topaz
#

many did

chrome palm
#

i forget the yellow buff you got from finishers on assa

#

when you played around that uptime

pliant topaz

people liked sin for its bleed / slow pace style

#

not the xd envenom go brrrr

people will get it right

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

comparing tfd to sf is actually insulting

Need to catch up to a certain sub otp

tribal blade
#

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

chrome palm
#

They gonna brick that shit fr

tribal blade
#

haha who knows

chrome palm
#

Not until the prophet has it timed

tribal blade
#

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

chrome palm
#

I have 19 dfc timed with 5 min with my group

#

20 should be easy

tribal blade
#

nice!

chrome palm
#

Ml too ig

#

The other keys though

tribal blade
#

yeah i ran a dfc with a group and we timed it with a lot of time left

chrome palm
#

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

tribal blade
#

yeah the 19 rook i did i carried the fuck out of the key

chrome palm
#

Very fun for sub

tribal blade
#

i do the first half as sin

#

last half as sub

#

it's good

chrome palm
#

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?

tribal blade
#

when i timed it i still topped overall even when afk for 1 pull

chrome palm
#

Nice

tribal blade
chrome palm
#

Hm

tribal blade
#

plus i run bleed garotte for first half

chrome palm
#

WHAT

tribal blade
#

it makes kicks way easier

chrome palm
#

???

tribal blade
#

hell yeah

chrome palm
#

What da

tribal blade
#

bleed gets a bad rap

chrome palm
#

Like full bleed build?

tribal blade
#

it's not as troll as people think it is

#

yeah full bleed with iron wire

chrome palm
#

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

tribal blade
#

it's not bad because you're chaining half the 1st room on the 1st boss

chrome palm
#

I mean like 2nd boss must be miserable then no?

tribal blade
#

it's ok

chrome palm
#

What are you doing on that boss

tribal blade
#

like you're not doing amazing boss dam, but it's not too shabby

#

honestly not sure, never looked

chrome palm
#

Outside of the 100mil you’re doing to the civilians Cheesin

tribal blade
#

haha yeah

chrome palm
#

Bleed is crazy work in rookery

#

Idk I just stay sub but

#

I can see it

tribal blade
#

i saw shindigg do it that way

chrome palm
#

Oh interesting

#

What comp though

tribal blade
#

at least he did it that way earlier in the season

#

can't remmber

chrome palm
#

I run with a mostly meta comp so as long as they’re on top of their stops it’s smooth first half

tribal blade
#

hrm this is not right

chrome palm
#

Yeah it’s wrong

tribal blade
#

must be showing current talents

chrome palm
#

It’s not from logs it’s from bliz api

tribal blade
#

ah ok

#

but the group i did it with i timed psf with an hour ago

chrome palm
#

Wonder how bleed does there

tribal blade
#

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

chrome palm
#

Ahh

#

Do you run forced induction

tribal blade
tribal blade
chrome palm
#

As hybrid I mean

tribal blade
#

oh yeah

#

the full prio/st build yeah

chrome palm
#

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

tribal blade
#

in bleed you run no haste?

#

i tried running lower haste in bleed but it feels SO bad in st

chrome palm
#

No in fi

tribal blade
#

AHH yeah

#

i tried my best to drop as much haste as possible

#

and i have ~21% vers fully buffed in hybrid

chrome palm
#

Nice

#

It is very fun to do keys as outlaw because they are build like tanks

tribal blade
#

yeah outlaw defensiveness so op 😦

chrome palm
#

Lived two casts at the same time from the guys after 1st boss in ml 19 without evasion or cloak

tribal blade
#

lol nice

chrome palm
#

It’s silly

tribal blade
#

i think they need to do something about outlaw's survivability

#

it's too much

chrome palm
#

It’s a lot when you consider they won’t be having KS issues anymore

tribal blade
#

yeah basically invincible

#

barring standing in stuff

chrome palm
#

But it’s mostly how they use vanish

#

IMO

short radish
#

how is outlaw more tanky than sub?

chrome palm
#

Cdr evasion

#

More vers

short radish
#

ah yeah

chrome palm
#

Vanish healing

tribal blade
