current trickster tier set 2nd coup is implemented in a way where you cannot accrue Escalating Blade stacks for 5 seconds, or until you spend the 'free 2nd Coup' buff so the ask is to allow Escalating Blade to stack to 6-8 while still only consuming 4 stacks to alleviate it
or change the way the 4pc is handled so that it doesn't eat EB stacks and lose casts of Coup over the course of a fight/dungeon
bc the 2nd Coup buff is literally just 4 EB stacks with a duration
ahh i see. apologies- i was unaware. for the record, i haven’t been vocal about lack of changes on forums— just moreso a quick perspective just now here
i can understand that being bad
thank you
Sub has a load of dead or annoying nodes and could use refineemnt. The core is solid, imo. We just need polish and some shifting. Also the tier stuff
Also more purple
odd you’re vocal on one area of communication but accepting in another.
its okay im a horse trainer now first and foremost
haru urarar will win the URA FINALE FINALS
hell yeah
I won with the spanish horse today, that felt good.

apologies.
👍 🏄 🏄♀️
No apologies. It’s ok to be angry here. Just an observation.
I also want our spec to move from strong finishers to strong gloomblades.
real
😟
I want gloomblade baseline but not for the reason everybody else does.
why have big sectecs when you can press gloomblade
oh not anger, just discussion. i’d like to align better with what’s needed so i can help be an advocate
gloomblade more thematic than backstab
more purple
thats why it should be baseline
Finishing the 10.1.5 rework would be a start
what if sub rogue all became trainers and we got to train our horses (other raiders) to do better with each pull
my tank will be gold ship
That's the problem
its the same dude asking for less RTB rng bc its breaking the spec
Our raiders get worse over time
while having also played zero content
theyre not sparking right and your support cards suck
we must invest in support cards
i must uncap my fine motion now for my tanks to have fine motion
i tried that, it's called pug raid leading
His input is as valuable as yours. Picture that 
it's basically as random as horses
people can't push heroism properly
shameless shill for my feedback post from a while ago
#subtlety message
you want them to have even more responbility
itll be a random proc
I'm unironically terrified his input will make its way into the game
it's a very good post
my arcane mage eyes will flash the screen and she'll yell
THE VIEW FROM THE LEAD IS MINE
as she blasts towards the sunset
and we kill
all thanks to my training
its so easy folks
haha
ive become horse pilled as quickly as ive become anti sub pilled
is this a fetish thing
nah
no
it's a fun gacha that's basically a roguelike princess maker for horse racing
except the horses are women
it rules
it's legitimately a fun game
no its about the horses idgaf that theyre girls
its ok i dont judge
nothing is more satisfying seeing number go up and you getting first
its like wow
but with horses
number go up, good brain juices
good post
Just split the horse into 4 hits and it’s more satisfying. -Blizzard
I am intrigued by the game's concept, but that manga/anime girl stuff repels me
great read and brought me up to speed. can see these issues clear as day where i haven’t before. will come back to reference it. thank you for writing and sharing it 💙
Some of those issues are a bit controversial/reflect my own opinions (mainly the coup fazed thing). If you removed the requirement for fazed from coup it would likely lead to pooling being a bit easier than previously, which some people do not like
I know guy doesn't want escalating blade to stack higher to 8 since you might just end up holding 2 coups and still overcapping in the end
and I see that as not a problem bc its a tradeoff you're willingly making
partially why I've suggested 6 as the cap
so you can't bank two coups' worth of stacks
yeah I like 6
unless you get omega degen and try to game it
part of me wonders about energy management too. with double coup & needing to spend- assuming things stay as is, would there be a world where thistle tea is a better trade off than cold blood?
even then you probably end up just pooling to 6 escalating stacks
with 8 you'd probably make it a bit too strong even
because then you're guaranteeing 2 coups before your cb sectec
like does the double coup over a fight period make up the dmg difference if energy management is better
crit pilled
it genuinely is a fun game but if the aesthetics throw you off i wouldnt recommend it because its a big part of the game unfortunately for some
Sectech just doesnt do as much in aoe, since its softcapped at 5 when all our other spells are 8
Relative to ST
they’ll fix Fatebound in 3 weeks
Surely
just delete rogues from the game
no leave sub
nah that's par for the course for some specs
last tier there were sets also kind of as strong as ours
hmm, so they have a month to fix the balance druid tier set
Imma get 2 dagger drops from 2nd boss day one
as long as you dont kill any bosses with them
oh second boss it is this time ? 
Crafting 1H sword week 1. Duh. 
(did not have a single dagger in vault this season)
nah you cant play outlaw - nice bait tho 
yeah loomithar drops vers/mastery dagger
Rad
how is sub doing on the ptr so far
Exact same way it be on live.
a void lord summoned into our plane
We've killed Titans (Argus) so why not.
which we know makes them significantly weaker
odds are we beat him and he either just gets sucked back into the void or xalatath gobbles him up
We already fucked him up once. It's time for round 2
10 gold on her getting the dark heart back and sucking him up
yeah im very sure she absorbs his power in some way or another
probably using the dark heart
then that leads into the events of midnight
sounds cursed
Man I just wish we'd get any changes lol.
My cope is that they are saving it for midnight, but imma be real. I feel like we wont get shit then either lol.
wdym we did get changes
better poison selection for one button rotation
what more could you want
Poison toggle....
lol so true
I mean technically it’s closer if OBR is applying it.
just pray our set goes untouched
They could do what Haptic and Ryldd are asking for
Then I'd vote for some set touching
I'll be very surprised if we see any changes that aren't number tuning
Me too
Unfortunately, same.
what where those again ?
They'll buff the living hell out of deathstalker so we're forced to play that
that tier set is just a dumpster fire in cooldowns sometimes
get a stray ShT refund at the wrong time? bricked
There's 5 weeks to buff/ bug fix us. Surely they have time 
@hollow spear what are they asking for?
They're asking for more escalating blade stacks (like 6 or 8), so we don't waste as many
sounds good
that plus change the way the buff works
achieves a similar goal
but would be healthier for the baseline hero tree to add stacks
granted like Ryldd said it could potentially lead to stack banking
which I think is fine if you choose to play that way
and unless its omega powerful to do in all cases it's a choice which we don't get many of
Yeah I'd be fine with that
so whats the current state of sub on ptr, we bugged oor...
trying to remember if someone said smth about set not working
nah set works as designed
no weird interactions with double ub proc that we've found yet
was bugged previously where you couldn't spend 2nd coup but that was fixed by week 2
u sayin theres a chance we get to be properly tuned before the season starts?
this is why being lazy is the key to success in WoW 🫡
What a time to be alive 
that or they do nothing for 4-5 weeks
equally possible
Really, anything could happen
honestly it wasn't even that bad. Just watched stuff on the other monitor and threw glaives around to gather stuff
or pressed holy shock and consecrate lol
I'll slam it out during it too
beware of monks bc there's a bunch of mongo-brained ones that love spinning crane kicking everything as its running to the amp circles and killing them so no bonus drops
same with boomkins that kill everything with dots and starfall
Dh probably goated bc super mobile and they melt everything when its stacked
I can melt everything when it's stacked (every 45 seconds (If it's during cooldowns (If it's able to live for 1.3 seconds)))
lmao I did see one sub rogue pop into one of the groups I was in but it was a pvp hero
ended up dropping every toy on the planet into the amp area so looting was annoying
haha
guys wtf 😄
I miss scana
The grand journey
TIA...
aight we stop before whispyr comes and yells at me again
I wish I had the gif someone made of Link throwing him into the ocean
actually I might be able to get it
it might have been scana that made it iirc lol
or was it schmeeps
sounds more like shmeeps
ye I think you're right
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Wouldn’t that be enough ?
So they won’t have to worry about stack banking shenanigans
As a band-aid solution to the problem tier creates, yeah
i think bandaids are the best we can hope for
maybe they don’t see it as a problem
^thats my thought
it would track with them not wanting us to track stuff
its just a 'quirk of the set' or whatever
bc realistically we do waste stacks with thousand cuts resets as-is its just not as in your face
reminder. certain devs like friction
but the 4pc blocking stack gen is cheeks
and my expectations are just low for any quality development at this point
all you can do
Doomtime
Nah. Just reality checks.
friction is fun
sub will be fine/good in raid, m+ isn't our show to steal
(never had ww)
feral not being able to brez in cat form and having to waste multiple globals to do it is fun
acceptable friction
Check your camp site
The amount of reality checking you're doing certainly goes deep into doom territory 
Scath the old doomer
Ngl dk not being able to res because “my breath” going is one of my favorite raid calls
tbf its rooted in past experience
I heard Dr Doom spot is open for a few days
lmao its so based tho
I’m in my mephisto arc
forums are like that too
...there are spec reddits?
some warranted, most not
that sounds like a hellscape
we’re in hell. Just accept it.
I knew dk will suffer, called it in the first week of march
even worse than here
Cant wait to shadowstep Dimensius
I will, then by like week 6 I hide Details window and never look at logs
Wake up in Westfall
once we get out-geared again
I feel like this patch should be better
Idk we peak early again
I feel like it won't be as bad as this season
I think it’s going to be a rinse and repeat for all three specs
early daggers, relatively early trinkets
Transmitter really messed up
No dagger using
Just pls god no more pvp
Assa will lose execute timing.
Sub will just not scale after tier.
Outlaw will get lost looking for rum.
That’s actually 9% because things
Spatter buffed 30%
how will Sub be in s3? any predictions? ive seen som eof us doing hella loads of dmg
i mean this season was fine ish
Same shit it is now
If you ask these guys it will be the worst spec
Woah
best spec in the game as always
Literally below tank damage
^^
if we got the aura buff a few weeks earlier I'd agree
at least in raid
m+ is just
Below Aug dmg and fuu drops the fine. Classic fuu.
not sin
It's not great, but the delta between specs is quite small in the bulk
There's just some big outliers at the top
i mean sub was good for 1-2 weeks, so more than you would expect in a asassiantion themed xpac
Without their 4% buff I'd argue that sin would have been quite shite, they just overslept the deadline for our buff
Sin had one good fight. Mugzee. Then speed kills destroyed that.
Late season raiders do. 
honestly valid point
trying to play sub before the 5% was pain
That’s like saying every tier is a bm tier. Even when assa was hot garbo it still had most parses in mythic
Sub got instant gratification by bringing over transmitter and having no raid trinkets worth a damn.
Then poof
We weren’t good / setup for more than 2 weeks of gearing. we had carry over.
!upgrade
Just like assa
crap
Transmitter and our aura buff to compensate for tier set nerfs wrecked us
Sectech didn’t help either
Perception was that we're too strong and didn't need buffs
just don’t need to rewrite history on how good the spec (or rogue was) this tier.
Well, someone has to be mid
pretty sure that's what fuu was saying by it being an assassination xpac
mmhm. Just be nice to not have one mid, and 2 bad
It wasn’t at the start
but by play numbers it’s always an assa tier.
Lowest barrier to entry
transmitter was definitely a curse upon the land
Yeah and people always find something to be mad about 
Once you're a top 1/3 spec, it's back to complaining about something else
Kind of a never ending doom cycle
I’m more irritated by game (and spec) bugs than the tuning.
But that's true for any class discord
I can’t wait to not be able to get renown 20
Our hunter is mad at himself for not rerolling dev at the beginning of the season. 
Tbf before s2 mm had a rough going
I think s1 bm was quite strong
bm was strong. then mm.
mm and dev are the overall outliers currently.
just funny chasing the if not absolute top dps menty
how much of a boost is doing that?
there are some tactical things you might want to do but they are not an overall dps increase
Not much
gloomblade
did we get any updates on builds yet?
all of my testing for holding dance to ensure 2x coup into sectec and doing the current cold blood stuff was not very fruitful i must admit
zugzug seems pretty good
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
Ye its pretty much just send unless flag is coming up
i do think in real world non-full uptime st gameplay itll probably be good to hold coup like that
saving dances for add spawns or whatever
but ya unlike current tier where the cold blood thing is at least equal ish its def not in upcoming tier

whats diff about cb?
playing for cold blood kind of requires not casting raw sectecs with no symbols
unlike s2 you are not gonna lose your tier set by casting these raw sectecs and the unseen blades you get from them are slapping way harder
plus you have more cdr to cast them more freely
damn casting no symbols sectech will be something i need to get use to
a zugzug between flag window will often look like dance/symbols/sectec at 25-30ish seconds, another dance at 40-45, raw sectec/coups at 1min ish (maybe throw symbols here)
cold blood can't cast raw sectec at 40 and get it back up for 1min easily
at least, that is my guess on why it would be worse
that raw sectech is actually cool
you feel like playing game actually
talent wise we are same?
Yep
with 1/2 finality
does proccing EB take prioty over storm in dance for aoe?
seems like it pushes back your coup by a bit especially with 2 set
Even before this sim didnt like storming in dance
When we changed the BP condition from 7 targets overall to 5 find weakness up it just stopped wanting to use storm, even with rotten
Well you just stop BPing when you lose the find weaknesses
Which is why its so cursed, idk my ingame testing has it feeling better to just do the old thing
Yes
Damn
They really need to make sec tech spread fw or something
I feel like between fw and fazed
They are just too similar
Well neither need to exist really
Just fix all the nimble bugs and/or buff eviscerate relative to BP so we can just skip BP or relegate it to massive pulls only
Sub already has complicated decisions to make with its CD timings, i feel like that should be the focus of the spec rather than small minmaxes like tracking the amounts of FW you have out and using the correct finisher relative to that
Should really just be nimble in nimble target count otherwise bp
Yep
1 bug fix not announced in notes and reduced KS duration
Blades working with nimble is the main fix i would like to see, but ye theres some other things too
Oh yeah 100%
Like making prism cap at 18 or 20 stacks instead of 15
So holding for a bigger burst makes more sense
Right now its mostly just an annoying 90s trinket that you dont get on pull in a lot of cases
Yeah that’s an annoying drawback, and I don’t think just giving a few stacks on pull or first hit would fix unless they changed the stacking around a bit
Juggling two on use in order to have burst on pull isn’t the most fun
I dont think two on-uses is gonna be a thing
strategically i can see it
overall full st unlikely
the passive ones are very good
Maybe if there was 3 min cd trinkets
i will try and get a forge anyway
Unless they bring back garg unholy I don’t see 3mins making a return
Even though it’d be nice
But you waste so much value by delaying your trinkets and you waste value by not having a second trinket during any of your bursts
That is unironically something DS has in its favor with the cosmic damage trinkets being affected by lingering
I think one 5min test had Screams at ~6% but the variance is a bit prevalent and need to look into a bit more
Ye which is not particularly good since it doesnt have mainstat, but who knows
But ye trinkets have clearly not been tuned yet
Since the cursed stone idol from halls gives like 50% more than it probably should

I really like not using storm in aoe! I think its really cool that when I go in aoe and theres more targets to hit, I just do what I do, get no extra resources, and just watch other people enjoy the more extra resources they get and blast! while i sit there and do single target! im so happy
This, but unironically
well i was being ironic! but to each their own ig
also really weird take to get 0 benefits from having more targets to hit
even outlaw gets value from having more targets to hit
but not sub ig
Is sub rupture the only maintenance dot that doesn’t gen resource or proc anything
Besides CT ig

i dont think thrash does anything specifically for feral
like it can technically be used for bloodtalons but thats not really from the dot part
could easily be wrong though i havent messed with feral in a while
otherwise cant think of anything
Pretty sure the ticks from your rip or w/e could proc the free bite in aoe
but could be wrong
Yeah, apex predator
but also in large aoe targets die and u keep getting resets on your energy buff thingy
enh flame shock is kind of just damage depending on the build
murder of crows for bm as well
To the point they were doing pretty wild prio
but thats passive so eh
you need one up to trigger prim wave every 30s but otherwise it just does damage (as stormbringer)
ye with other hero talent you're proccing stuff
Voltaic blaze?
i mean that's just a damage proc that happens to also apply the dot
rip yeah, but thrash doesnt work for that
sure, youre still getting more procs of bite + more uptime on your buff + more energy in aoe
thats resources
you arent getting more bite procs from thrash, thats entirely from rip
yes but you get more rips out in aoe
sub rupture is definitely the most boring i would say
we were talking about sub getting litealrly 0 things in aoe
after new no storm ever tech
well yeah that was a seperate thing, im just talking about the "maintenance dot that does nothing else" topic
i agree sub gets nothing in aoe and its shit
Yup. If it did better damage or contributed something mechanically I’d hate it less but as it stands
they should give replicating to sin
havoc historically did not gain any additional resources from aoe until aldrachi became playable this tier
Big ol stinker
then give sub something new
I just don’t want a maintenance dot for the sake of having one
And it’s way better
true
well as it should be
and it works really well for sin because sin doesnt need to get 15 garrote and ruptures ouyt in aoe
unlike subs dumbass
IC is their peak creative design
dont think they wanna change it to a boring button
thats their holy grail
their peak performance
it's so CRINGE
yeah it was, but had a cap to it's spread
only applied to the first garrote and rupture
remove rupture from sub and put the power into sectec
deal
orbital missile sectec
Nah that’s pretty boring
Make it a prio button
U keep it on 1 guy, helps u push damage from other targets to that guy
Either in terms of resources procs of big evis etc
and what color would you like your dragon to be
Purple pls thank you
you can have it only if cfo wins
good luck
sub rework squarely in honq's hands
its not looking good for the goats
I believe in doggo app
Aph
Surely game 3
@bleak night OPUT THE DRAGON IN THE BAG
THEY GOT UFCKING OMEGA GIGA WOMBO COMBOD
AL fistfighting cfo 2k down and against elder dragon and still almost get it done
just started watching at the dragon fight and it's been a trip lol
you missed out the fucking 6k down soul down into tripple skarner ult rumble cookout throw
9k gold swing in 1 fight
- baron
it got them elder and mid inhib and next baron
kaiwing actually pulled a labrov in game 3 vs fly
god damnit was driving home from work
idk the last time I watched MSI, I usually tune in for Worlds
Ocean soul too OP
i think cfo had to end with elder
I think I'm bad luck 
gold lead doesnt mean anything anymore
Ryze has dcap now it’s gg
we r5 gnar its doomed
roa oriana
its fucking
cooked
why the fuck did we pick gnar man
this guy reciting the fucking romeo juliet in perfect enlighs
its fucked
outdpsing a lock who has 30 ilvls on me in a 10 fg
with my warr i literally just started playing again yesterday
To be fair he got beat by the tank so I think that’s more him than you
But pallies are low key monsters so I’d be proud you got that close to him really
At 20ilvl behind
oh yeah for sure
it's just funny
welp.
DOGGO WTF
thats one way to turn it back around lmao
this guy has balls of steel i fucking swear
turf tape, hes afraid of burning his arms when he gets tackled
no clue, i havent watched lcs in a long time
idk why but he just irks me so much

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
HONQ THE GOAT
i have been goonin to CFO game 4 for like 20 minutes
im so proud of them man
theyre so good
dude doggo posturing is insane
they legit faked 30 second of tempo
damn
it was a good run
give them a good top/support
and i swear they can compete with lck
im very much so looking forward to worlds
mnow
Was a fun series to watch for the matches I got to see
watch the rest of MSI
its legit only bangers from here on
fly vs blg
t1 geng
oh my god
I’m gonna try to, just saw the rest of the weeks games and yeah it’s bangers all the way
god i hope fly vs blg is a good series
im gonna be so disappointed if fly get shit on
i hope so.... if fly gets 3-0d by blg its a terrifying wakeup call for west
but i dont think the gap is as big as people think
I think bwipo cna match bin for sure
and i think massus better than elk already
Is NA still a meme
yes but now eu is again as well
not really, fly is probably the best western team
fly definitely seems like best western team ye
but the thing is west vs east gap is too large right now
we will see how large exactly tmrw though with fly vs blg
i think mid is the only role where theres a turbo gap tomorrow
massu 50/50 depending on whether he shows up or not
Oh shit they’re owned by the Bucks too lol
Well affiliated
But that basically makes them a local team
yeah im worried quad gets destroyed by knight
if they get 3-0d i thnk its jhust gonna be mid gap
Blg isn't even that good compared to the good China/KR teams
Name good china teams xd
1: AL
2:
3:
xdd
IG aint it, TES aint it, WE got on a hotstreak but we all knew that was fake, JDG is mental boom, WBG aint it
whats left
thats the point if fly (best western team) gets 3-0d by blg (worst eastern team at msi)
then it just shows the insane giga gap
just AL really china imploded after last year
i think fly can make it close
could see fly winning or going to 5
this is actually very gratifying
this healer i know and another dk friend i have were way ahead of me early on
i was playing with a team who had less exp so i fell behind where i should have been
and now i'm mostly caught up to where i know i can play at
big karma

Teach us how to find team please
oh nah no flame on the healer haha
It's not about whether you win or lose, but how much the other person loses.
i just knew i was behind because of those reasons i said
so to catch back up and then some feels good
i have no team right now /cry
personally i never care what other ppl do,i try to get better by myself.Carrying about other ppl rather than yourself,for your own goals is the weak approach
its how that saying goes
small minds speak for other ppl
big minds speak of ideas
based chang fck the opps
that quote has lived rent free in my head ever since I saw it
Me everytime we have no shami buff and i switch to assa. Did you know that dh essence brake can be parried? 
just play with a subtlety rogue and you don't care about parry
PARRY THE PLATYPUS???
Remember when you used the excuse you were just playing for your team mates?
This would make Assa Dr. Doofenshmirtz?
!wa
could still be true!
(even though i'm alone now)
@sly shore thats you in ascendance?
That's me in ascendance
why you guys look for rogue, sus
i think i was about to join couple tiers ago, you are not that long with guild right
it aint the first time he is in there
i had some raid with them in the S3 i think (df)
ryian was very honest back than, he liked me but said that trials usually dont see much of progress
probs the other rogue
maybe his ethos on that has changed idk
guild has massively massively improved in the past few months
3 day for first 2 weeks I think it was
I forget
it's basically the same as 2 day to me lol
found THD in a lost ark stream earlier today
to quote michael schumacher you are only as good as your last race
whats high end
what you consider by that name
becasue i basically look at random hof guild and i know them usually
basically high hof
there are some openings for next tier, look like many rogues actually quit
i had fun last season idk
Undermine was so ass for rog
I didn't think it was that bad, barring spread cleave issues on some fights.
Granted I'm raiding in very low end CE so my experiences differ a bunch
it sucked

I used to be one of two rogues in both guilds I raid with, and now I'm the only one in both 
One went spriest and the other is going warrior
We lost our other rogue so it's just me at the moment
Yuh, one is tu/wed/Thu, other is fri/sat
well we lost other rogue too
Committed
I'm on 2 nights a week main raid group and then the Friday drunk social raid
Idk I like the WoW video game and the rogue class even tho devs seem to hate us lol
I wish I had that much time
I just can't play another class so I'm stuck on rogue 
You could play Woyer
i think next raid will be good for sub
more than for assa
with the council propably decent for outlaw
Nah I've never played DPS warrior before
warrior is very brain dead dont have fun with it
not if blizzard has something to say about it
assa buffs at the start of the season confirmed
there are also more pure single target fights, no?
I'm gonna try to force sub personally just bc I'm really tired of feeling forced to play sin to make prog smoother lol. But I know I'll probs end up swapping sin again
now my question is for how long are we going to keep house of cards? 
It takes me a long time to get proficient with something in WoW, I can't learn classes quickly so like, if I want to raid next season and not be a floor tank then it's rogue or nothing 
not much since there is same trinket from new dungeon
doesn't HoC give way more stats though
idk does it?
Yeah I don't even blame them tbh. The lack of... Well, anything for this class is depressing lol
usually raid trinkets are overtuned compared to m+ trinkets
there will be tunning pass on trinket closer to release
I picked up evoker quickly you can do it
Im old
Yeah just a crumb please
hey man you can't mess with perfection 
...yeah... Perfection...
The lack of updates is a bit grim though. I still think we'll get something before the patch but the issue is that leaves limited time for testing and further iteration if it comes too late
X d
I'm just not the best at this game so it takes time
we not doing splits, our RL dont have time for anything extra, its kinda as i enjoy doing something extra at start of season... so only one rogue for me
I wouldn't expect anything more than tuning numbers
I want to believe
Kinda replace it asap
It's just tough bc like it'll be season 3 so without any sort of buffs to sub we're gonna fall off like a rock bc we scale like shit with secondaries
that's nice to hear
With current tuning (which is whack and unlikely to be final) the only trinket thats even worth considering is the Halls of atonement one
But its way overtuned for no reason
So probably gonna end up with prism
the one that gives crit?
Yes
isn't that strength only?
str/agi
there is big raid testing this week and than they will the data they need for tunning of stuff
interesting
but I kinda doubt crit would beat mastery
Well 14k > 9k
The math checks out

it will be same scenario, sub strong at start and slowly get passed by assa later on
than they will buff sub little bit to compesate lack of scaling
We also already have an evoker so, yeah dunno. Maybe not the best plan.
Two is good
Its funny how people interpret assa being buffed as sub having bad stat scaling
We'd also then not have a rogue so no atrophic which, isn't a huge deal, but also, it's something
(assuming they don't forget to buff sub like the last few times)
You going evoker fully next season then?
Idk i think evoker gaining 100k dps from an item that rogue gets 30k from is kinda a lot
Our evoker went ham on prog, did some wild damage
Evoker does silly damage still
They buffed assa during week 3 or 4
That was when I swapped from sub
Sub was running out of juice during that time anyway
Halls of atonement 🥹
you guys really expect them to not ruin halls of atonement? 

Sub only started falling behind cuz every other class/spec Got buffed
Sub was about middle
Monk was nerfed
it was still best by far even after nerfs
Did you run any of the trinket sims using eye?
was looking more for how long it’ll last or if it’s getting replaced week 1 with a dungeon trinket
They already did
You can't dispell the stun anymore, you just get stunned
And last boss you have huge aoes you need to run out from and afk
Like actual huge
Entire room huge

if only blizzard devs bothered to play something other than mage
At least I never did halls of atonement the first time so it can't be ruined for me 
I mean for general use kezan is kinda bad but its got its niche and could still be good if the later fights are like mugzee where nothing before 40% matters
honestly how dumb must you be to design these huge ass aoes and not realize it's dogshit for melee
I dont think the penultimate boss works like that, but i have no idea about the last boss so 
Was more so thinking longer prog fights if they exist at the start.
motherlode aoe dudes
im like
ok my guy
how about fun in a video game tho
No, only misery
you're nonstop dodging while ranged are chilling laughing at you
brown circle hell combined with red circle hell 
simple solution. play ranged or ret
ironically i feel worse playing ranged
like having to cancel a cast because of a mechanic
feels worse than going out of melee for a bit
also the packs in rookery which have the succ + the targeted circle around people
that for sure sucks
but at the same time you're not dealing with 50% of mechanics by default playing ranged
my main game still is raid and i feel like melee are chilling there much more
it's sometimes much more than just a bit
This is why the melee run outs are big.
Ranged often just have to sidestep a few pixels
And have an ABC-enabling ability
We have storm
ranged have more movement planning. Melee is just following the tank.
Kekw
as ranged you can also dodge in any direction you see fit
Just throw a shuriken easy
as melee you're generally trying to stay in melee range while dodging
And almost each ranged spec has a displacement ability
i'm not saying ranged doesnt have it easier
i just think it feels worse to cancel a cast than step out of melee range
idk why
they’re just different.
i think in raid it's a coin toss between melee and ranged usually
subjective thing
depends on who the devs want to punish more
for M+ it's 90% melee being punished i feel
on neltharion i was big chilling
Killing a global and activity stopping something vs insta cast and running out
i wish i could find the clip of naohw playing his mm hunter in junkyard during S4 of SL
and was going like "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING, LOOK AT ALL THOSE MECHANICS I DON'T NEED TO DO, IM CHILLING"
sums it up perfectly for me haha
So lockenstock?
Oh wait that was melee doing nothing.
forgot the /s
Well raid often has exceptions
Sprocket was chill, boring fight apart from the fear of random drills
OAB felt significantly easier as melee compared to ranged too
Ask range how chill it was
bro i'm just watching the halondrus melee vs ranged meme video
blizz is generally pretty good about heavily punishing ranged on encounters in raid
and theres a sub rogue toping the meters
No miss auto attacks go big
I don't speak to the ranged, they know the choices they made 
Plus that tier set was dumb
that tier set could have been very cool
imagine if they brought back that tier set with our current sub build
it would go insane
Perma blades
yeah literally
Cleave strike cleaving quadratically via nimble
85-90% blades uptime
would also be proccing the 4pc quite a bit more because of FI
that was also a nerfed set sadly
it was incredible on ptr
then the nerfs to the %s made the rng way worse
only thing i remember from sepulcher is jpc not being able to get tier at all in splits
i wonder how hard the number squish will be in midnight
like next tier we're gonna do absurd numbers
and i dont really like looking at those rly
Will it be a clvl squish, ilvl squish or both?
I expect the numbers to be squished to shadowlands level
totally arbitrary but my line would be like, 1m single target dps as like an aspirational thing with very good play is nice
or if you wanna g further down, make that 100k idk
they would go below 1 mil probably
honestly can't remember, i vaguely remember thousands of dps
