#

I didn’t realize they cdr feint lol

#

That explains why I was pressing it so much

tribal blade
#

iirc they do unless they changed it

chrome palm
#

Also more energy than outlaw and sub so

tribal blade
#

lemme check

chrome palm
#

They’re able to press it more freely

#

I think you’re right

tribal blade
#

yeah

chrome palm
#

Sheesh

tribal blade
#

so insane

chrome palm
#

Remember that dks are stronger than this by standing still

short radish
tribal blade
short radish
#

wait

#

spiteful isnt a thing anymore

tribal blade
#

i do not miss spiteful

short radish
#

neither

chrome palm
#

Remember in s3 df when sin was strong as the start

tribal blade
#

looking back on it legit all the old affixes mostly punished melee

chrome palm
#

And then they nerfed it and the same week it was spiteful

#

So no one played sin after that week kekdog

#

At least I stopped after that

short radish
tribal blade
#

oh shit true haha

tribal blade
#

biggest non affix ever

short radish
#

yeah

#

best week

tribal blade
#

"oh no i have to slightly side step every once in a while as ranged"

#

@chrome palm so you have a group?

chrome palm
#

Yes I do

#

Pugging as rogue sounds very rough

tribal blade
#

it is 😦

#

unless you can find phys groups

#

i think i might not make cutoff w/o a group tbh

chrome palm
#

Waiting for a brew to log on is very annoying

round charm
#

Do you guys use feint a lot in keys? It feels so bad to wait for energy between cds for cdr and then press feint and wait some more 😦

chrome palm
#

Yeah feint is your primary defensive

#

You can press feint after a finisher in cds

#

Since you’re overcapped on energy anyways

#

Certain mechanics will just kill you without feint

#

Like the beam on mechagon last boss without feint is 1 shot

#

And you only have so many evasion and cloaks

round charm
#

That's true.. I should get used to it

#

It's probably not even so big energy/cdr wasted as I think

chrome palm
#

Easy rule of thumb is, if you’re going to take damage press feint

#

Feint can also generally be used whenever you use evasion or crimson vial outside of a few niche cases

#

This is assuming you’re playing elusiveness instead of cheat death

round charm
#

That's a lot of feints and lot of energy besad

#

Wish it was free as it is for assa in muli target and I guess outlaw (never played it, don't like pirate-theme)

chrome palm
#

It doesn’t really have a big impact

#

It’ll feel bad if you’re starved and you had to spend all of your hard earned energy on a feint

#

But if you’re starved the only other thing you’re gonna do is like press backstab

#

Which does nothing

#

But feint with elusiveness is basically the best defensive in the game so you should be using it

shrewd lantern
#

Immunes everything

chrome palm
#

Ok you used ankh

#

I’m gonna hit you in the head now

#

What are you gonna do

shrewd lantern
#

rez instantly

#

what other class can do that

#

Oh wait warlock….

chrome palm
#

Guess what

#

I’m gonna hit you in the head again, and it hasn’t been 30 min

shrewd lantern
#

Its shorter than 30

chrome palm
#

What is it

shrewd lantern
#

Also probably not fair to compare to the two god classes mage and lock

chrome palm
#

Maybe but mage is strong because they have so many defensives

#

Rogue is strong because of feint alone

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

#

we’ve been crept up on over the years

chrome palm
#

I think mage is an outlier

#

I don’t know how they got away

shrewd lantern
#

lock

#

dk

chrome palm
#

With ice cold and all that

#

DK too sure

#

Warlock has always been strong

#

But we also have super juiced feint with two charges off cd with low energy cost

#

So I dont think it’s all that bad

hollow spear
#

I wonder how many rogues actually have feint bound

#

I feel like the average heroic raider doesn't

shrewd lantern
#

ngl when it was on gcd

#

good luck asking me to press that

#

mid dance

chrome palm
#

I was pressing it just for fun in my cds when they took it off

hollow spear
#

That was such a good change

shrewd lantern
#

I barely see pug rogues

chrome palm
#

Remember when we got changes

shrewd lantern
#

when i play alts

chrome palm
#

😭

shrewd lantern
#

that was all

hollow spear
#

I can't bring myself to spec elu in raid

shrewd lantern
#

Realistically assa got the lion’s share of rework changes

#

in df s3

#

nah fuck playing elu in raid

chrome palm
#

Yeah elu is a bad idea in raid

shrewd lantern
#

we already have enough cds to cycle through in raid

#

well ig sub doesnt have evasion for magic dr since no ds

chrome palm
#

Besides you’re not getting hit by bleeds in raid and if you are that’s what externals are for

shrewd lantern
#

but 5% passive dr+vers

shrewd lantern
#

is what you saying

chrome palm
#

I prefer begging for an external but sure if you wanna be a little stout man go for it

shrewd lantern
#

i was for 2.5 years

chrome palm
#

Healers will do anything if you beg them enough

#

That’s why they’re healing usually

shrewd lantern
#

pug healers in rookery dont dispel me

#

until i ping them 10x

chrome palm
#

Think they just pug players

#

Or maybe I am more convincing

shrewd lantern
#

also im convinced

#

ams is better than cloak

#

in most situations you cloak

chrome palm
#

It is with the stupid 1s rule

#

Cloak just randomly not working on way to many magic affects with no indicator of it

#

Needs to be a full immune if it’s gonna be a 2 min cd

shrewd lantern
#

ams already prevents debuffs

#

if you have 2 braincells to pre press

chrome palm
#

Also like the rookery thing

#

Where the boss just ignores you when you cloak instead of deleting the debuff

shrewd lantern
#

lmao

#

every time i play my dk alt

#

im confused how people die as this class

chrome palm
#

The only acceptable reason for DK to die is basically being outside of death strike range

shrewd lantern
#

our dk had most deaths to ansurek pull

#

dont ask how

chrome palm
#

0_0

tribal blade
#

yet dk is allowed to have ams at 1 min

hollow spear
#

I had our dk on focus step

#

Theyd probably argue that we don't have a dmg limit

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah i usually focus step bdks

hollow spear
#

Which is kinda pointless in a lot of cases

shrewd lantern
#

I feel like since legion they've severely cut down on literal nuclear levels magic hits

#

besides tank mechanics

#

or you can have a prot pala run spellwarding

#

That button is super useful garf
Makes you only need to burn a brez on your priest healer 1/3 of pulls.

#

Instead of 2/3

heady shell
#

Question, this is basically my first season ever playing wow, I know sub isn't in the best spot, but I was able to get to 3444 io, would it be reasonable for me to try and push for M+ title next season? I think the bump at higher keys are expontentially harder right?

alpine wraith
#

you can always get title if you know the right people

heady shell
#

I guess for me it would be pugging

alpine wraith
#

but if you want to pug it will become difficult unless you begin to show yourself out there

#

there are not many people at a high lvl so eventually they kinda know the others

#

and if you dont omegaint and do decent dmg maybe you can sneak in sub here or there

#

but there are some dungeons assa is just so much better for rogue and even outlaw overtakes it quite a bit most of the time

heady shell
#

yeah

#

sad I suck at assas

#

granted I haven't played it too much

tribal blade
chrome palm
alpine wraith
#

i think sub can be ok on ML and workshop mostly because of bosses

#

maybe on darkflame as a change to not die on candle king

chrome palm
#

yeah ml is at the end for a reason

alpine wraith
#

but there outlaw is better

#

tanky and does more dmg

chrome palm
#

candle king there is weird because i always feel like i dont get 3 1:30s as sub

#

maybe in 20+ you do

#

i also play triple 1:30 comp though

alpine wraith
#

tbh sub in next season seems to be way better

#

the trinkets and set seem good for dungeons

#

prism + forge or antenna or lilly and forge

chrome palm
#

is prism + forge real or is it cope

tribal blade
#

isn't sub being kinda forced into being hard capped

alpine wraith
#

seems real but i need to try more things

#

sadly i got mind controlled by a horse girls game

#

so i havent been on the ptr that much

#

but dmg is quite there

runic trail
chrome palm
runic trail
#

I'm surrounded Pepegrin

alpine wraith
#

im at the point where im looking for 3* sparks

#

i kinda have many diff ones

chrome palm
#

i think ill watch the show before i try the game

alpine wraith
#

i havent watched 1 second of the animes and still enjoy the game

vale pine
#

what game?

chrome palm
#

uma musume pretty derby

#

🙈

#

have you seen it fuu

vale pine
#

is the game f2p?

runic trail
#

I saw people playing it but I'm terrified of falling down the gacha rabbit hole

vale pine
#

i have not seen it

chrome palm
#

its gacha so you gamba for characters but f2p

vale pine
#

it looks like a mobile game

#

is it on android/ios too?

chrome palm
#

originally i think

alpine wraith
#

it is a mobile game but also on steam

vale pine
#

ahh fair

#

reviews are funny

alpine wraith
#

people are already doing tournaments and betting on them

#

gacha+gambling same as sub rogue

#

cant escape

chrome palm
#

if you draw the horse girls as lewd the company will send the yakuza after you

#

so ive heard

runic trail
alpine wraith
#

it is mostly for pr reasons too as they need permission from the owner's horse

#

there are already a ton of r34 as you might expect

runic trail
#

I'd have been shocked if there wasn't

alpine wraith
#

you will just get jp people yelling at you

#

but then you say me no speak japanisu

chrome palm
#

if the horse girl isnt japanese its fine :-)

runic trail
#

Subtly change one aspect of the horse girl. Problem solved.

haughty mural
#

How much dmg is magic again ?

#

Roughly

chrome palm
#

looks like about 40%

#

in st

hollow spear
#

Didn't know I was 40% magician

haughty mural
#

Ty - couldn’t access my sims right now but got asked

hollow spear
#

My raid leader didn't approve of my idea of swapping to arcane mage. Maybe he'll understand once I tell him I was already 40% of the way there.

haughty mural
#

In aoe it should be a bit less, because of nimble ?

hollow spear
#

I think so

chrome palm
#

possibly

hollow spear
#

Black Powder is also physical

chrome palm
#

sec tech clones will do more as well

#

BP probably less likely to hit a target with FW than evis in ST

#

but idk

haughty mural
#

Yea

haughty mural
#

Since coup and ub will make more

chrome palm
#

yeah any raid cleave phys is gonna shoot up as well

#

more so than dungeons

#

like some fights where nimble goes crazy

haughty mural
#

Yea

lilac stag
#

I swear we don’t exist in normal recruitment pools

runic trail
#

scath wanna take my place on my raid team thanks

lilac stag
#

SV main. Sure.

#

I almost recruited Quake to take my spot this tier. HOLY

hoary coyote
#

yo guys have a question my details does not work in ptr
does anybody knows the problem?

#

should i install a sepcial version

haughty mural
#

I am too weak

#

I’ll forever be in the yellow prison

lilac stag
#

Details should work fine on the ptr. Just grab the latest version and make sure it’s active. (Not disabled due to being out of date)

lilac stag
#

Our Warrior roulette continues. Another new Warrior next tier. garf_sit

runic trail
#

Meanwhile my guild is a constantly rotating set of people

#

There's so many trials

vale pine
vestal escarp
#

Stranglethorn?

lilac stag
#

for some reason we added like 5 people. dracthyr_shrug

lilac stag
vale pine
#

lol

haughty mural
#

I’d argue more

runic trail
#

Just over the last 2 weeks

lilac stag
#

Hipsters gonna hipster.

haughty mural
#

Okay then ignore me please

runic trail
#

It seems kind of even

nocturne hollow
#

Just recrafted all my gear since i want to start playing sub, did my first key and did ok dmg, do we have a lot of prio as sub? was a 12 ML, and nuked the extracter very fast

tribal blade
#

but not amazing

nocturne hollow
#

or black powder biss in 5 target also?
for overall dmg

tribal blade
#

actually i remember doing pretty high prio one of the last times i ran sub whenever i spammed evis

warm marlin
tribal blade
tribal blade
#

yeah i self corrected myself there haha

tribal blade
#

i remembered when i ran dfc as sub i was doing really good prio to the creepers

tribal blade
nocturne hollow
#

About to go into a cinderbrew 17, so i guess that is a lot of BP mashing

tribal blade
#

probably yeah, ALTHOUGH i'm gonna be real, if your comp has 2 other pad aoe classes you might just be better off full evising muscles

#

but i haven't run cinderbrew as sub in forever so i have no idea

#

on higher cinderbrews we pull 3 muscles at the start so it's a race to kill them off asap

remote shuttle
#

Like in cinder 1st pull if u have other dps doing good aoe u can evis muscler, and funneling Is like shuriken to have max cp with a single cast aoe and evis on prio target... U get more resource on builder with aoe and unleash damage to major target by evi (cleaving others) ...doing this Just need to backstab/SS for escalating blades

#

Less overall but musclers die faster and maybe your party doesn't die

hollow spear
#

They should turn shuriken storm into something else when we have dance up. Just like the backstab shadowstrike thing.

#

Or did that already exist at some point?

remote shuttle
#

Dep on what your party needs more for that pull you decide what to do... Brainless pad (bp) or prio/funnel evi (if pox)

hazy breach
#

Theres not that much difference either way

#

BP does like 75% of what evis does so youre not losing that much prio anyway

#

Striking and secteching the prio target is the more important bit

remote shuttle
#

Ye but you known... When in a pack u have a single really dangerous threat, that more dmg on a single target can some times be the Better choice

hazy breach
#

Its not +25%

#

Its like +5% more prio damage overall

remote shuttle
#

Just lets say more dmg

warm marlin
#

people are far too prio brained now

#

5% more prio for 50% less aoe is not worth except in rare cases

lilac stag
#

Thanks Max and Tettles

hazy breach
#

Its not 50% less aoe anyway

#

Like theres very little difference either way

lilac stag
#

just press buttons. Get CDR. Win.

remote shuttle
lilac stag
#

If priority is that important. sin

hazy breach
#

Or you can play deathstalker sub kek

haughty rose
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
remote shuttle
hazy breach
#

I mean it does unironically do better prio than trickster, about on par with assa

#

But thats assuming you use darkest nights on eviscerate even in aoe

#

Which is kinda questionable for overall

remote shuttle
#

Brrrr

#

Feel so lone and cold 🤣

#

To even think playin ds

#

Ts has a very nice flow to me

#

Enjoying so much the actual gameplay (less numbers... But Is fun to play anyway)

hazy breach
#

Heres a bunch of fairly small changes i would like to see that would improve the AoE situation for sub quite a bit, since weve pretty much been relegated to be a raid spec ever since the 10.2 rework.

  • Fix all of the bugs associated with Nimble Flurry
  • Change the tierset to allow coup to stack while 4p is active.
  • Change secret technique to be softcapped at 8 instead of 5. (Since our other spells are 8)
#

Theres also the hero talent situation where unseen blade not being proccable from storm and darkest night not working on BP are way overdue changes that would make the spec way more fluid to play since i believe those are just needless friction

swift tinsel
#

Honestly those would solve almost every gripe I have for a not-full-rework set of updates

remote shuttle
#

Wish they Will listen your huge knowledge bud

#

First two of your three point should be mandatory btw

hazy breach
#

First one would be roughly ~20% more damage to nimble, third would be roughly 25% more damage with sectech on big pulls and the middle one is hard to guess but not munching procs feels good

haughty mural
#

That makes me think how comes that the free coup is coded like that

swift tinsel
chrome palm
#

fix coup refund 🙏

swift tinsel
#

It’s such a ham-fisted implementation

haughty mural
#

Ye

#

Should have just been another instance and not some krangled shit using the other ones stacks

#

If it makes sense what I mean

swift tinsel
#

Like it’s the least-elegant way they could have done it

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Agreed, make it a unique buff/aura so it doesn’t conflict

warm marlin
#

you kept the escalating blade stacks for 1 second which allowed outlaw to double cast it

#

they just extended it to 5s

chrome palm
#

can you imagine how bugged it would be if it was a separate proc as a free ability

haughty mural
chrome palm
#

if it was unique none of the interactions would work with it

haughty mural
#

„Let’s just copy paste a bug and give it to them as a feature huehuehue“

swift tinsel
#

Fel scarred dh has that and it seems to work fine

chrome palm
#

it would make sec tech look like john carmacks finest work by comparison

haughty mural
#

Mhm could be

hazy breach
#

@tribal blade You know how i mentioned 20s are kind of a wall? The EU title has stopped going up by the standard 3 rating per day and its now going up by 1 per day instead KEKWBASS

tribal blade
#

i was looking through my entire friends list and i have quite a few people who haven't budged beyond ~3800

#

in weeks

hazy breach
#

Like as soon as it hit ~3770 which is pretty much all 19s it dropped from 3 to 1 per day

tribal blade
#

i'm honestly dreading going beyond 3770 which i'm at right now

#

the amount of 20s in lfg at any given time is basically 0

hazy breach
#

DFC and Motherlode 20 is probably easier than priory 19

#

Just have to get the key

tribal blade
#

yeah if i can game with the people i timed 19 rookery and psf with

#

those 20s will be piss easy

#

but they have a group sadly

#

good thing is they know i'm solid now because we essentially 2 shot rook and 1 shot psf together

#

just need to see if i can weasel my way into anything

vestal escarp
#

tf is left

hazy breach
#

Shadow damage gets reduced by armor so shadowed finishers cleave way less than they should

#

And any crit bonuses do not get cleaved (so no lethality or surprising strikes)

vestal escarp
#

yeah i was reading

hazy breach
#

And blades

vestal escarp
#

i think the only part accountable for a bug id the crit stuff

#

the others are questionable for as much as it sucks having them

hazy breach
#

Well blades should just work

#

Not necessarily be cleaved

#

But a 100 nimble hit should also hit with blades for 20% of it

vestal escarp
#

thats every instance of nimble hitting for shbaldes too

#

(it absolutely should but gl with it)

#

it's one year it's in

hazy breach
#

Well we got sectech working with blades after more than a year

vestal escarp
lilac stag
#

careful. They’ll take it away

vestal escarp
#

is this back? i remember being gone at some point in TWW

hazy breach
#

I dont think it was ever fixed

tribal blade
#

found blizz's development process for sub

lilac stag
#

We should be so lucky

swift tinsel
#

Redo the gif with the tape removed

warm marlin
#

so i have been seeing if any degenerate pacemaker stuff is possible with holding the proc

vestal escarp
warm marlin
#

and my last time in the raid I found it procced almost insta despite me just auto attacking, which didnt happen on dummies in dorno

#

i auto attacked a dummy for 10 minutes and it happened once

hazy breach
#

I dont think the pacemaker proc is strong enough to warrant it ngl

warm marlin
#

i checked the logs from the raid and did some big testing

#

i think the thousand cuts unseen blade cd reset

#

procs pacemaker the first time it occurs

warm marlin
#

however i dont think it is possible with the thousand cuts thing

remote shuttle
warm marlin
#

nvm it just happened 7 minutes into autoing a dummy as deathstalker

#

i dont get it

tribal blade
remote shuttle
#

Did u have any fun at least?

warm marlin
#

oh someone procced fatal intent kekW

#

maybe that was it

swift tinsel
#

I’m Screams of a Forgotten Sky-pilled for deathstalker

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Just bc I like the name

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

this is for this tier

#

and i did test that but that crystal is too hard to control

hazy breach
#

Ah

#

Just play azerokk/alchemy trinket and proc it at the right time garf_sit

warm marlin
#

if you can get it to proc nicely in 3min prism cds it goes bigly

swift tinsel
#

Azerokk, foul temptress trinket

hazy breach
#

Unironically the highrolls with those trinkets are very very big

warm marlin
#

but some pulls it procced at 1:10 just randomly

#

its too hard to game i think

hazy breach
#

It stacks up when you get a killing blow

#

So might be really strong for assa in keys

#

As you always get the killing blows

warm marlin
#

ye for keys it could be

#

if you can get it to 12-13 stacks around the 2:20 mark you can just afk not even autoing to pool it for big prism burst

#

the real dream

#

but it often procs before then

hazy breach
#

Rolling into the 200% burst on the last boss with coup, 12 stacks of that trinket, fully stacked prism and 7+ sht

warm marlin
#

I think i was like 453% mastery or something ridiculous

#

maybe less

hazy breach
#

And get out bursted by boomies that go into bear with their new set KEKWBASS

warm marlin
#

maybe 353

#

even on a dmg amp fight though it just seemed too random, you're going to often proc it too early and then you're cooked

hazy breach
#

Ye its probably not it

#

But when it procs

#

Youll be slapping

#

Imagine if we got a set like the boomy one though

warm marlin
#

also unlike pacemaker void frag does consistently proc off autos

#

so if you're trying to hold you are actually full afk running around outside melee

#

it would be extremely funny to watch in someone else's vod

hazy breach
#

"Sec ill go grab a coffee"
Just pop that in discord in the middle of the fight

warm marlin
#

itll probably get nerfed anyway

#

no way 30k mastery makes it to live

runic trail
#

I took my turn now to afk for a bit

hazy breach
#

Which obviously sucks for sub

warm marlin
#

aren't all of those trinkets just mega insane numbers

hazy breach
#

ye

warm marlin
#

monakS please no

hazy breach
#

Well their numbers are high because their uptime is low

warm marlin
#

that is what i do not like, am not a variance enjoyer

haughty mural
warm marlin
#

hmmge last procced it at 0:53

#

trinket just has a mind of its own sometimes

hazy breach
#

Speaking of overtuned trinkets

#

The one from Halls is not balanced

#

For some reason it just gives an absurd amount of stats

swift tinsel
#

maybe that's why they're trying to hide it from us by not having it on the vendor

chrome palm
#

devious mm developer snuck that one in there

swift tinsel
#

gotta add more stuff for pookie

alpine wraith
#

the one that gives a bazillion crit

#

?

hazy breach
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

ah yea that one is getting hammered

hazy breach
#

For reference at the same ilvl as house of cards its giving roughly 60% more stats

alpine wraith
#

ahaha

lilac stag
#

Watch none of them get touched. “We hear you wanted good trinkets”

alpine wraith
#

tbh would be fun for once

#

imagine being exited about gear

lilac stag
#

Though I think we’re back on the Ion SL arc

hazy breach
#

I'd prefer the prism being strong compared to a basic bitch one like the halls

#

Surely they change the prism to cap at 20 stacks so we dont have to waste stacks if we want to hold for 3 min instead of sending at 1:30

lilac stag
#

I don’t recall seeing a 90 str trinket.

swift tinsel
#

they don't have one kekw

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

It’s same boat through with stacks

warm marlin
#

the halls crit one is also str

lilac stag
#

Was that on use?

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

Wonder where that lands in ST

swift tinsel
#

funnily not that great for the 1.5min str specs bc fury and uhdk do not like crit lol

#

idk about arms tho

lilac stag
#

and we all love a good channel. kekdog

#

Usually crit haste.

#

Not positive with changes

nocturne hollow
#

in M+ i find that im out of symbols of death and shadow dance quite a lot, like im saving them for CDs, what is a good time to start saving for cds? 30seconds?

lilac stag
#

Treat the dungeon as one long boss encounter. Learn when to save and when to send. You’re going to have dry times just getting CDR going.

#

it’s more about pack health than specific time left on CDs

hazy breach
#

But theyll get tuned down to reasonable levels soon enough

swift tinsel
#

for ones like fury or even fdk the crit portion is eaten by Recklessness/Obliteration

#

though I think unholy is getting crit interactions with their changes

hazy breach
#

For reference that trinket sims around 3.5% higher than prism right now as sub

swift tinsel
#

ye running top gears atm

hazy breach
#

Because the numbers are like 60% higher than it should be

nocturne hollow
#

Thank you mate, also in this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sa0-tfel1pc he is pressing storm during his shadow dance, is that not troll? i thought we shadow strike during that and then spend on evis

Im getting a bit confused with the AOE rotation, is there a youtuber who does high keys with sub that i can watch?

#

I cant seem to find any vods of high keys for sub

lilac stag

what are you confused on?

#

no one is doing high keys as sub

Do i shadowstrike in AOE? or Storm? ik i sotrm out side of BD window but during it i ST right?

you can pretty much afk between shields and you'll match everyone else's dps

it seems rare for rogues to do the hearth out swap to sub strat

i have the feeling a lot of rogues aren't comfortable enough with sub to do it

tribal blade

every group i got in and told i was gonna hearth to swap to sub were slightly surprised and very happy

warm marlin

that reads like the old rules before hero talents

back when you used strike on 3 targets and only storm during dance on 4+

DO you trsut in Raccoons

haughty mural

does anyone remember if they had any actual reasoning why they nerfed the self-heal from shadowdance and replaced with this utter garbage leech that only scales on damage?

i don't even play my rogue anymore since that change, it's so weak as fuck solo

Yes garf_sit

warm marlin
empty plume
#

like it's less shit if oyu just overgear everything, but man leveling an alt and trying to kill elites is like bruh

#

i don't have enough damage for that 'leech' to do anything, it's a joke

hazy breach
#

Not sure which leech youre talking about

#

Shadowheart in the class tree?

empty plume
#

yeah, that replaced the shadowdance heal

hazy breach
#

Because that doesnt work with shadow dance nor subterfuge, its literally only during stealth

empty plume
#

wait really, so it doesn't do anything

lilac stag
#

and what can’t you kill, use defensives and blow it up

hazy breach
#

Or do you mean leeching poison

empty plume
#

i use that too on that alt

chrome palm

leeching good

Yes shadowheart is completely useless

who designed that shit

Exhilarating Execution in the sub tree is good though

They'd have to nerf us super hard to give us something that nice

also with the changes to slice and dice... why is that even still a buff and not baseline and the ability just removed lol .-.

cloud rover

Just press feigndeath

cloud rover

Its basically removed

hazy breach
#

Theres lots of good questions to ask about why things are the way they are on rogue

#

And most of the time the answer is shrugeg

cloud rover
#

Why is stealth so buggy eleem

empty plume

this class needs a visonary to declutter, redesign this shit class

cloud rover

tell me like im 4

lilac stag

let’s us get CDR back between packs in m+

im so sick of it

let me play rogue without feeling like i should play literally any other class to have a better experience

BP knocks you out of stealth

Why doesn’t sub get any blue posts Eleem. Tell me like im Tiramil

hazy breach

Well ye but stealth has 2 sec cd

haughty mural
#

Tell me why

alpine wraith
#

we dont get blue posts because they are saving power

#

for sure

warm marlin
#

BP will also drop your tier set stacks

even if it doesnt hit anything

vestal escarp

it's the crysis

rogue blue post, in this economy?!?!

hazy breach

Yes but the tier is gonezo

lilac stag

i did with tww

i just can't anymore, this class is just getting not what it needs

SnD is one of Sub’s best abilities.

Read into that what you will

hollow spear

Fair enough it wasnt fixed

PTR copium has run out im afraid

Hey we've still got two PTR's before 12.0 stuff.

There's still time

I'm telling myself we're getting top-tier fixes in 11.2.5

keen dome

high5 same braincell

Blizz is exhausting this guys copium reserves

swift tinsel

even though I know we aren't

hazy breach
#

Like sub is probably gonna be good for raid

left ledge

He not lasting as long as he used to

hazy breach
#

But keys is just

#

doomed until we get fixes

swift tinsel
#

we're 'good enough' to be shelved indefinitely

left ledge
#

But flurry and goremaw

keen dome
#

I'm super curious what the hero talent gimmick will be for midnight, and what they're gonna do. Maybe they'll add a new spec to all the mono-DPS classes. maybe that's their gimmick and how they 'improve' rogue

left ledge
cloud rover
swift tinsel
#

idk maybe they add another row of hero talents

hazy breach
#

Ye and tripling the deathstalker tier set

swift tinsel
#

or a secondary set of them like with artifact weps

left ledge
#

Midnight will prob not go into changing talents

swift tinsel
#

after seeing ours not get anything all expansion idrc what they do

hazy breach
#

If anything the only thing we are likely to see is buffs to deathstalker and its tier

keen dome
hazy breach
#

Which is unwelcomed

left ledge
#

At least not drastically

keen dome
#

Comedy option: artifact weapons 2.0

swift tinsel

the cloak continues into midnight

one less slot

Haha

#

chat..... im tired.... i wanna play sub.......

#

let me play sub

#

pls

left ledge
#

Play sub then

vestal escarp
#

😭😭😭😭😭

keen dome
#

The cloak is pretty interesting 'cos at this point Midnight is gonna be hammered out for launch so it makes me wonder if they're doing artifacts for Midnight and this is a "see what works" shit? But that's probably cope

left ledge
#

I hear it’s meta next season

keen dome
#

'Cos they are specifically calling the cloak an Artifact.

swift tinsel
#

idk

hazy breach
#

Mfw im the burst spec but i get absolutely dunked on in burst by boomies and their bugged tier set

swift tinsel
#

I'm fully expecting nothing at all

#

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get positive changes for sub

keen dome
#

Shove hero talents into artifact weapnos. Make them run from Midnight -> LAst Titan. Add new stuff every patch, cry because it's a balance nightmare.

cloud rover
swift tinsel
#

but I'm holding out zero legitimate hope

vestal escarp
#

if only it was only the boomies garf_sit

swift tinsel
#

because the track record is

#

literal ass

left ledge
#

Listen

warm marlin
#

tettles will still say boomie is weak

left ledge
#

Let’s not doom guys

#

If they see us underperforming it’s simple

#

They’ll buff assa

keen dome
#

Just buff nimble flurry again. job done

hazy breach
#

Sub is undoubtedly going to be good in the raid with all the damage amps

vestal escarp
#

the least i wanna do next season is playing assa with 50% uptime on kb

S3 atrophic arc part 2

vestal escarp
warm marlin
#

fundamentally, a raid that favors sub will not favor outlaw

#

even if they fix stuff like the trickster tier being 2.5x as good for sub as outlaw

lilac stag
#

Outside of the first 3 weeks it won’t matter

#

Then it’s gunslinger go time

left ledge
#

I don’t see it as exclusive fundamentally

#

Outlaw can do fine with sub doing fine

lilac stag
#

let’s not kid ourselves how useful dmg amps are to anyone outside of top 50

left ledge
#

Outlaw is very consistent damage

#

This discussion already took place before

lilac stag
#

mmhm

left ledge
#

Damage amp good for everyone not just sub

#

Depends on how and when the amp even happens too

lilac stag
#

Sub was the you need to kill shit asap.

#

That’s not exactly an exclusive these days

left ledge
#

Like if an amp is at 4 minutes

#

Is that.. good?

#

Maybe?

chrome palm
#

40s amp at 4 minutes uglyassdog

lilac stag

#

Anyways though what matters is how good the player is outside of rwf as long as we don’t get comp brick walls like oab

chrome palm
#

if they are serious about the grip raid buff thing

left ledge
#

They are most likely

#

Last boss is going to hard require a dk

chrome palm
#

the issue is that every fight in this tier

warm marlin
#

in max's video he suggested last boss probably needs 2 dks

#

one for each side

chrome palm
#

the answer was split cleave

cloud rover
#

alright

warm marlin
#

wouldn't be surprised after the grip incident this tier

chrome palm
#

rik barrels? split cleave
stix bombshells? split cleave
oab assistants? split cleave

left ledge
#

Did dk grip anything this tier

lilac stag
#

and if the spec you’re playing matters for your push to top 50, im thrilled for you. When the lowly mortals of the mythic raiders start parsing, I expect outlaw 📈 if tuning isn’t fucked

cloud rover
#

🙂

left ledge
#

Oh yeah

chrome palm

good for gripping under your friends ball

Outlaw cope will always amaze me

warm marlin

they made poor loktark play sub on that fight omegalul

left ledge
#

I remember early ish this tier

#

Or not too early

#

Sprocket

#

The highest outlaw was like 200-300k below windwalkers

#

Despite outlaw simming high

#

But the thing is that dude was in shit gear

#

And simmed for less than he even did

lilac stag
lilac stag
#

it’s still kinda funny how all three specs dumpstered even further overall dps in raid with the belt.

cloud rover
warm marlin
#

zac plays sub on prog

#

or do u mean he never played outlaw

#

because that is cursed

lilac stag
#

in general I think the uptime stigma keeps people away on prog. Killing spree really did it no favors as well.

I physically can’t play the spec (or fury) that long in a single sitting without triggering my fibro.

#

circles back to play what you enjoy if you’re most raiders.

shrewd lantern
#

I mean sub is pretty inted by forced downtime too.

#

unless they ever make dance a flat cd again

lilac stag
#

it’s perception.

cloud rover
alpine wraith
#

you can also play around better as sub

cloud rover
#

played outlaw on tindral afaik

warm marlin
#

just hold a dance charge as sub 4Head

alpine wraith
#

yea in between dances are whatever anyways

#

just have them ready for cds

#

more important

cloud rover
#

Im not even sure if he did play outlaw on mug'zee yet

shrewd lantern
#

Idk I’ve seen people still cite rtb

#

as an rng factor for outlaw

#

its funny

swift tinsel
#

mafic kekw

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

i mean especially early tier the weapon thing is unironically a large factor

lilac stag
#

yup

warm marlin
#

you craft mh for sub/assa and outlaw is cooked unless you burn 60 gilded

#

and another spark

shrewd lantern
#

and then pvp sub andys created a brainrot perception

#

of sword offhand

#

Run out mechanics feel worse as sub imo.

#

Can’t just last second hook out

north schooner
#

why did they normalise fatal flourish but not shadow techniques?

shrewd lantern
#

and come right back in

warm marlin
#

i mean outside cds you actually lose almost nothing running out as sub tho

#

you're not gonna overcap on energy

#

rupture still ticking

#

not many shadow techniques lost since no symbols

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah i mean depends how long you’re out for

lilac stag
#

Silken court is the last boss I think uptime mattered for fitting CDs in

#

as sub

warm marlin
#

especially with new tier set you're just shitting out cdr

shrewd lantern
#

1-2 sec downtime i still feel is not so bad for outlaw

#

due to hook

warm marlin
#

no skyfury ptr is almost more cdr than live with skyfury i think

swift tinsel
#

it feels fairly close

#

if not outright better

warm marlin
#

i can sometimes do 2x dances after the 130 flag without skyfury on ptr

shrewd lantern
#

worst part about btm as sub

#

doing no skyfury keys

#

why is enhance banned

#

hello blizz?

swift tinsel
#

yeah that one is a bit baffling bc its barely above the middle of the pack using their metric for determining spec popularity

haughty mural
cloud rover
#

Yes

#

exactly

haughty mural
#

Was glad when they yeeted that

lilac stag
#

Just renamed it Deathstalkers mark

lets keep deathstalker stuff out of subtlety

But.. purple 😦

wild hornet

but dstalker is cool

Deathstalker vs. Trickster

wild hornet
#

so a deathstalker looking like a legitimate rogue vs a circus actor

#

hmm

vale pine
#

hey... how dare you critisize my art

swift tinsel
#

when I hear trickster I picture something closer to the picture on the right vs whatever theme they went with for the hero tree

#

bit of whimsy, bit of madness

haughty mural
#

I picture a lot of smokebombs and feints and surprising moves as well as distractions as when I picture trickster

#

So for me they kinda nailed it

#

But I think that’s an unpopular opinion

warm marlin
#

the feint and smokebomb talents are unplayably bad tho

haughty mural
#

That’s true

warm marlin
#

they're just there as choices so they can say the theme is there

haughty mural
#

But they are there

lilac stag
#

or 70% of the spec talents. garf_sit

haughty mural
lilac stag
haughty mural

I mean could just a real smokebomb in there

But let’s not get over ourselves

warm marlin
#

you know what is surprising

#

the rogue vanishing in front of you

imagine if you just got unseen blade procs from real stealth

#

and disorienting/thousand cuts just reset cd of vanish

#

you know, where the blade is literally unseen

lilac stag
#

We got this instead

haughty mural
#

Commit with the theme ??

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

dps tied to a defensive complainers when they proc soothing darkness 80 times a fight
