when we’re bottom 1/3 of all dps with 3 specs exiting the tier. gl

#

rogue tuning is still bad

swift tinsel
#

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

pale spoke
#

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

keen dome
#

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

lilac stag
#

odd you’re vocal on one area of communication but accepting in another.

swift tinsel
#

forums are a wasteland

#

where you get takes like these

warm depot
#

its okay im a horse trainer now first and foremost

#

haru urarar will win the URA FINALE FINALS

swift tinsel
#

this legend

keen dome
#

I won with the spanish horse today, that felt good.

bleak night
warm depot
#

hell yeah

#

we love horses here

north schooner
lilac stag
hollow spear
#

I also want our spec to move from strong finishers to strong gloomblades.

bleak night
#

real

warm depot
#

😟

keen dome
#

I want gloomblade baseline but not for the reason everybody else does.

bleak night
#

why have big sectecs when you can press gloomblade

pale spoke
#

oh not anger, just discussion. i’d like to align better with what’s needed so i can help be an advocate

bleak night
keen dome
#

more purple

bleak night
#

thats why it should be baseline

lilac stag
#

Finishing the 10.1.5 rework would be a start

warm depot
#

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

hollow spear
#

That's the problem

swift tinsel
#

its the same dude asking for less RTB rng bc its breaking the spec

hollow spear
#

Our raiders get worse over time

swift tinsel
#

while having also played zero content

warm depot
#

theyre not sparking right and your support cards suck

warm depot
#

we must invest in support cards

#

i must uncap my fine motion now for my tanks to have fine motion

keen dome
hollow spear
keen dome
#

it's basically as random as horses

hollow spear
#

So many bozos on the forums

#

Pug raid leading is like herding cats

warm depot
#

and what if every raider got an ultimate

#

with a sick ass name and cutscene

keen dome
#

people can't push heroism properly

warm marlin
keen dome
#

you want them to have even more responbility

warm depot
#

itll be a random proc

swift tinsel
warm depot
#

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

keen dome
#

haha

warm depot
#

ive become horse pilled as quickly as ive become anti sub pilled

bleak night
#

is this a fetish thing

keen dome
#

nah

warm depot
#

no

keen dome
#

it's a fun gacha that's basically a roguelike princess maker for horse racing

#

except the horses are women

bleak night
#

oh

#

so yes

warm depot
#

it rules

keen dome
#

it's legitimately a fun game

warm depot
#

no its about the horses idgaf that theyre girls

bleak night
#

its ok i dont judge

warm depot
#

nothing is more satisfying seeing number go up and you getting first

#

its like wow

#

but with horses

keen dome
#

number go up, good brain juices

bleak night

hollow spear
#

I am intrigued by the game's concept, but that manga/anime girl stuff repels me

pale spoke
warm marlin
#

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

swift tinsel
#

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

hollow spear
#

yeah I like 6

swift tinsel
#

unless you get omega degen and try to game it

pale spoke
#

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?

warm marlin
#

even then you probably end up just pooling to 6 escalating stacks

hollow spear
#

with 8 you'd probably make it a bit too strong even

warm marlin
#

because then you're guaranteeing 2 coups before your cb sectec

pale spoke
#

like does the double coup over a fight period make up the dmg difference if energy management is better

hazy breach
#

For AoE thistle tea is fine

#

For ST no the crit is just worth more

bleak night
#

Just always crit then you don't need cb

#

Dead talent

swift tinsel
#

crit pilled

warm depot
hazy breach
#

Sectech just doesnt do as much in aoe, since its softcapped at 5 when all our other spells are 8

#

Relative to ST

clever delta
#

raid hopefully sub tier

#

with all that target swaps

#

i cant stand playing assa now

lilac stag
#

they’ll fix Fatebound in 3 weeks

bleak night
#

Surely

fathom adder
#

i mean shouldn`t just deleting the 2p selfnerf line + cb changes be enough

#

"just"

warm depot
#

just delete rogues from the game

swift tinsel
#

no leave sub

haughty mural
#

im scared

#

i see us getting nerfed again

fathom adder
#

yeah

#

less cdr reduction + even less reg outside of dance

#

that`ll teach em

haughty mural
#

or they'll just gut our tier again

#

since 27% is kinda big

swift tinsel
#

nah that's par for the course for some specs

haughty mural
#

last tier there were sets also kind of as strong as ours

vale pine
#

hmm, so they have a month to fix the balance druid tier set

bleak night
#

just remember

#

no crafting dagger week 1

#

and for safety dont use trinkets

swift tinsel
#

Imma get 2 dagger drops from 2nd boss day one

bleak night
#

as long as you dont kill any bosses with them

haughty mural
#

oh second boss it is this time ? poggers

lilac stag
haughty mural
#

(did not have a single dagger in vault this season)

haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

yeah loomithar drops vers/mastery dagger

haughty mural
#

Rad

tacit pond
#

how is sub doing on the ptr so far

swift tinsel
#

some days we hoopin, some days we ballin

#

idk if we take anything from last boss

bleak night
#

we take his life

#

and his mount

haughty mural
#

are we actually able to take his life ?

#

i mean he is a void lord

lilac stag
bleak night
#

a void lord summoned into our plane

keen dome
bleak night
#

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

keen dome
#

We already fucked him up once. It's time for round 2

keen dome
bleak night
#

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

warm depot
#

shes gonna step on him

#

and dimensius gooning causes midnight to happen

hollow spear
#

sounds cursed

left ledge
#

dude i am so excited for s3 sub

#

we eating GOOD

swift tinsel
#

are you fucking kidding, they add Darkfuse to rep bonus

#

eat my whole ass

summer lynx
#

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.

bleak night
#

wdym we did get changes

#

better poison selection for one button rotation

#

what more could you want

keen dome
#

Poison toggle....

summer lynx
#

lol so true

lilac stag
haughty mural
#

just pray our set goes untouched

hollow spear
#

They could do what Haptic and Ryldd are asking for

#

Then I'd vote for some set touching

swift tinsel
#

I'll be very surprised if we see any changes that aren't number tuning

hollow spear
#

Me too

runic trail
#

Unfortunately, same.

haughty mural
#

what where those again ?

hollow spear
#

They'll buff the living hell out of deathstalker so we're forced to play that

swift tinsel
#

that tier set is just a dumpster fire in cooldowns sometimes

hollow spear
#

Fitting

#

Deathstalker is in the dumpster, the set just lights it on fire

swift tinsel
#

get a stray ShT refund at the wrong time? bricked

hollow spear
#

Believe it or not

#

Bricked

patent lichen
#

There's 5 weeks to buff/ bug fix us. Surely they have time COPIUM

fathom adder
#

@hollow spear what are they asking for?

hollow spear
#

The 2nd sectec is so cursed in ds

#

I hate it

hollow spear
#

They're asking for more escalating blade stacks (like 6 or 8), so we don't waste as many

fathom adder
#

sounds good

swift tinsel
#

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

hollow spear
#

Yeah I'd be fine with that

void ocean
#

so whats the current state of sub on ptr, we bugged oor...

#

trying to remember if someone said smth about set not working

swift tinsel
#

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

void ocean
#

u sayin theres a chance we get to be properly tuned before the season starts?

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

equally possible

keen dome
#

Really, anything could happen

swift tinsel
keen dome
#

Except what we want

#

Ye, it's chill

swift tinsel
#

or pressed holy shock and consecrate lol

keen dome
#

I'll slam it out during it too

swift tinsel
#

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

keen dome
#

Ye, typical behaviour

#

no thought, only button

swift tinsel
#

Dh probably goated bc super mobile and they melt everything when its stacked

keen dome
#

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)))

swift tinsel
#

lmao I did see one sub rogue pop into one of the groups I was in but it was a pvp hero

swift tinsel
#

ended up dropping every toy on the planet into the amp area so looting was annoying

keen dome
#

haha

pliant topaz
#

freak ah rogue player

#

no wonder bro plays sub

#

caught

void ocean
#

guys wtf 😄

pliant topaz
#

I miss scana

pliant topaz
#

this is the sub channel i missed

keen dome
pliant topaz
#

aight we stop before whispyr comes and yells at me again

swift tinsel
#

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

pliant topaz
#

sounds more like shmeeps

swift tinsel
#

ye I think you're right

spice matrix
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

As a band-aid solution to the problem tier creates, yeah

bleak night
#

i think bandaids are the best we can hope for

lilac stag
#

maybe they don’t see it as a problem

swift tinsel
#

^thats my thought

bleak night
#

it would track with them not wanting us to track stuff

swift tinsel
#

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

lilac stag
#

reminder. certain devs like friction

swift tinsel
#

but the 4pc blocking stack gen is cheeks

lilac stag
#

and my expectations are just low for any quality development at this point

swift tinsel
#

I just throw shit into the aether

#

if it happens, neato

#

if not, eh

lilac stag
#

all you can do

void ocean
#

Doomtime

lilac stag
#

Nah. Just reality checks.

void ocean
#

Dead spec

#

Wheres my ww

bleak night
#

friction is fun

swift tinsel
#

sub will be fine/good in raid, m+ isn't our show to steal

void ocean
#

(never had ww)

bleak night
#

feral not being able to brez in cat form and having to waste multiple globals to do it is fun

#

acceptable friction

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

brez on dk needing RP to cast

#

kekw

hollow spear
#

The amount of reality checking you're doing certainly goes deep into doom territory dracthyr_kek

void ocean
#

Scath the old doomer

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

tbf its rooted in past experience

void ocean
#

I heard Dr Doom spot is open for a few days

swift tinsel
#

lmao its so based tho

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

You can visit any spec reddit

#

They're all dooming no matter what

swift tinsel
#

forums are like that too

bleak night
#

...there are spec reddits?

swift tinsel
#

some warranted, most not

bleak night
#

that sounds like a hellscape

lilac stag
#

we’re in hell. Just accept it.

void ocean
#

I knew dk will suffer, called it in the first week of march

bleak night
#

even worse than here

lilac stag
#

Soul sold to sub

#

Guy will have fun and that’s all that matters

void ocean
#

Cant wait to shadowstep Dimensius

swift tinsel
#

I will, then by like week 6 I hide Details window and never look at logs

void ocean
#

Wake up in Westfall

swift tinsel
#

once we get out-geared again

hollow spear
#

I feel like this patch should be better

swift tinsel
#

Idk we peak early again

bleak night
#

thats why i said

#

no dagger crafting

#

no trinket using

hollow spear
#

I feel like it won't be as bad as this season

lilac stag
#

I think it’s going to be a rinse and repeat for all three specs

swift tinsel
#

early daggers, relatively early trinkets

hollow spear
#

Transmitter really messed up

void ocean
swift tinsel
#

depends on trinket tuning ofc

#

could run into Prism getting dumpstered in a week

void ocean
#

Just pls god no more pvp

lilac stag
#

Assa will lose execute timing.
Sub will just not scale after tier.
Outlaw will get lost looking for rum.

swift tinsel
#

then Sin gets 6% buff

#

maybe 8, fuck it

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Spatter buffed 30%

tight bison
#

how will Sub be in s3? any predictions? ive seen som eof us doing hella loads of dmg

vale pine
hollow spear
#

If you ask these guys it will be the worst spec

void ocean
hollow spear
#

Literally below tank damage

tight bison
swift tinsel
#

at least in raid

#

m+ is just

lilac stag
#

Below Aug dmg and fuu drops the fine. Classic fuu.

swift tinsel
#

not sin

hollow spear
#

It's not great, but the delta between specs is quite small in the bulk

#

There's just some big outliers at the top

vale pine
lilac stag
#

My guild tag. kekdog

#

very fine indeed

hollow spear
#

Without their 4% buff I'd argue that sin would have been quite shite, they just overslept the deadline for our buff

lilac stag
#

Sin had one good fight. Mugzee. Then speed kills destroyed that.

hollow spear
#

Nobody gives a shit about late season anyways

#

Sin was pretty good when it mattered

lilac stag
#

Late season raiders do. dracthyr_shrug

lilac stag
#

trying to play sub before the 5% was pain

lilac stag
#

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.

bleak night
#

every tier is a bm tier

#

comfiest raiding you'll ever do

patent lichen
#

!upgrade

lilac stag
patent lichen
#

crap

hollow spear
#

Transmitter and our aura buff to compensate for tier set nerfs wrecked us

lilac stag
#

Sectech didn’t help either

hollow spear
#

Perception was that we're too strong and didn't need buffs

lilac stag
#

just don’t need to rewrite history on how good the spec (or rogue was) this tier.

bleak night
#

next tier is rogue tier

#

trust

hollow spear
#

Rogue wasn't even that bad

#

Sub was

#

Numerically

lilac stag
#

Mid sums up assa to me

#

and it overall was best of the 3

#

raid wise

hollow spear
#

Well, someone has to be mid

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

mmhm. Just be nice to not have one mid, and 2 bad

hollow spear
#

End of last season sin and sub were top

#

And people still whined

lilac stag
#

but by play numbers it’s always an assa tier.

runic trail
#

Lowest barrier to entry

lilac stag
#

I think people were sick of transmitter

#

at least in here

bleak night
#

transmitter was definitely a curse upon the land

hollow spear
#

Yeah and people always find something to be mad about garf_sit

lilac stag
#

And let’s not forget the coup charge.

#

on Queen.

hollow spear
#

Once you're a top 1/3 spec, it's back to complaining about something else

#

Kind of a never ending doom cycle

lilac stag
#

I’m more irritated by game (and spec) bugs than the tuning.

hollow spear
#

But that's true for any class discord

lilac stag
#

I can’t wait to not be able to get renown 20

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

I wonder what they complain about

#

Maybe they find their rotation too complicated

lilac stag
#

could do more dps omegalul

#

looks at mm overall

#

had a turn brain off spec for m+ as well

haughty mural
#

Tbf before s2 mm had a rough going

hollow spear
#

I think s1 bm was quite strong

lilac stag
#

bm was strong. then mm.

#

mm and dev are the overall outliers currently.

#

just funny chasing the if not absolute top dps menty

clever delta
#

did you guys figure out how we play around new tier set yet?

#

@hazy breach

hazy breach
#

If you have blades press storm inbetween coups

#

Thats all

clever delta
#

no way

#

for real real?

north schooner
alpine wraith
#

there are some tactical things you might want to do but they are not an overall dps increase

hazy breach
clever delta
#

is it only for in between coupes

#

in blades

#

outside blades we do normal buildeR?

lilac stag
#

gloomblade

clever delta
#

did we get any updates on builds yet?

warm marlin
#

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

daring raptor
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
hazy breach
warm marlin
#

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

clever delta
#

whats diff about cb?

warm marlin
#

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

clever delta
#

damn casting no symbols sectech will be something i need to get use to

warm marlin
#

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

clever delta
#

that raw sectech is actually cool

#

you feel like playing game actually

#

talent wise we are same?

hazy breach
#

Yep

clever delta
#

with 1/2 finality

chrome palm
#

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

hazy breach
#

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

chrome palm
#

So you’re pretty much relying on storm while spreading rupture

#

To build fw

#

Man

hazy breach
#

Well you just stop BPing when you lose the find weaknesses

chrome palm
#

Ah so even at very high counts nimble?

#

If we have no fw

hazy breach
#

Which is why its so cursed, idk my ingame testing has it feeling better to just do the old thing

hazy breach
chrome palm
#

Damn

#

They really need to make sec tech spread fw or something

#

I feel like between fw and fazed

#

They are just too similar

hazy breach
#

Well neither need to exist really

chrome palm
#

Yeah

#

But it’s really weird to have both

hazy breach
#

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

chrome palm
#

Should really just be nimble in nimble target count otherwise bp

hazy breach
#

Yep

swift tinsel
#

Do we wanna take bets on changes tomorrow/this week’s build?

#

I got $5 on 1 bugfix

chrome palm
#

1 bug fix not announced in notes and reduced KS duration

swift tinsel
#

Double payout if tier change

#

I’ll personally Venmo realz for EB change

hazy breach
#

Blades working with nimble is the main fix i would like to see, but ye theres some other things too

swift tinsel
#

Oh yeah 100%

hazy breach
#

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

swift tinsel
#

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

hazy breach
#

I dont think two on-uses is gonna be a thing

alpine wraith
#

strategically i can see it

#

overall full st unlikely

#

the passive ones are very good

hazy breach
#

Maybe if there was 3 min cd trinkets

alpine wraith
#

i will try and get a forge anyway

swift tinsel
#

Unless they bring back garg unholy I don’t see 3mins making a return

#

Even though it’d be nice

hazy breach
#

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

alpine wraith
#

yea passive ones have cool effects

#

or well strong in general

swift tinsel
#

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

hazy breach
#

But ye trinkets have clearly not been tuned yet

#

Since the cursed stone idol from halls gives like 50% more than it probably should

bleak night
#

surely this time trinket tuning

pliant topaz
lucid jackal
#

This, but unironically

pliant topaz
#

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

swift tinsel
#

Is sub rupture the only maintenance dot that doesn’t gen resource or proc anything

#

Besides CT ig

pliant topaz
bleak night
#

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

pliant topaz
#

Pretty sure the ticks from your rip or w/e could proc the free bite in aoe

#

but could be wrong

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, apex predator

pliant topaz
#

but also in large aoe targets die and u keep getting resets on your energy buff thingy

warm marlin
#

enh flame shock is kind of just damage depending on the build

bleak night
#

murder of crows for bm as well

swift tinsel
#

To the point they were doing pretty wild prio

bleak night
#

but thats passive so eh

warm marlin
#

you need one up to trigger prim wave every 30s but otherwise it just does damage (as stormbringer)

pliant topaz
#

still does something ig

#

also the other hero talent pretty sure it does more

#

idr

warm marlin
#

ye with other hero talent you're proccing stuff

swift tinsel
#

Voltaic blaze?

warm marlin
#

i mean that's just a damage proc that happens to also apply the dot

bleak night
pliant topaz
#

sure, youre still getting more procs of bite + more uptime on your buff + more energy in aoe

#

thats resources

bleak night
#

you arent getting more bite procs from thrash, thats entirely from rip

pliant topaz
#

yes but you get more rips out in aoe

bleak night
#

or is that druid of the claw

#

idk either way probably not the best example

warm marlin
#

sub rupture is definitely the most boring i would say

pliant topaz
#

we were talking about sub getting litealrly 0 things in aoe

#

after new no storm ever tech

bleak night
#

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

pliant topaz
#

oh yeah i guess

#

also rupture is the most aids one to spread

swift tinsel
#

Yup. If it did better damage or contributed something mechanically I’d hate it less but as it stands

tribal blade
#

they should give replicating to sin

warm marlin
#

havoc historically did not gain any additional resources from aoe until aldrachi became playable this tier

swift tinsel
#

Big ol stinker

tribal blade
#

then give sub something new

swift tinsel
#

I just don’t want a maintenance dot for the sake of having one

pliant topaz
#

its called IC

swift tinsel
#

And it’s way better

tribal blade
bleak night
#

well as it should be

pliant topaz
#

and it works really well for sin because sin doesnt need to get 15 garrote and ruptures ouyt in aoe

#

unlike subs dumbass

bleak night
#

rupture gaming on sub

#

peak gameplay

tribal blade
#

i wish they'd put IC on it's own button

#

remove it from vanish

pliant topaz
#

IC is their peak creative design

#

dont think they wanna change it to a boring button

#

thats their holy grail

#

their peak performance

tribal blade
#

it's so CRINGE

bleak night
#

i mean

#

it also literally was its own button in the past

tribal blade
#

yeah it was, but had a cap to it's spread

bleak night
#

only applied to the first garrote and rupture

#

remove rupture from sub and put the power into sectec

#

deal

#

orbital missile sectec

pliant topaz
#

Nah that’s pretty boring

bleak night
#

they arent going to make rupture interesting to press so why have it at all

pliant topaz
#

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

swift tinsel
#

Yes please

#

Siphon damage

bleak night
#

and what color would you like your dragon to be

Finishers spent into targets stacks the dot damage higher

swift tinsel
#

Was a fun series to watch for the matches I got to see

pliant topaz
#

watch the rest of MSI

#

its legit only bangers from here on

#

fly vs blg

#

t1 geng

#

oh my god

swift tinsel
#

I’m gonna try to, just saw the rest of the weeks games and yeah it’s bangers all the way

bleak night
#

god i hope fly vs blg is a good series

swift tinsel
#

I wanna go back and watch the full game 1 and 2

#

And 3 lol

bleak night
#

im gonna be so disappointed if fly get shit on

pliant topaz
#

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

swift tinsel
#

Is NA still a meme

bleak night
#

yes but now eu is again as well

pliant topaz
bleak night
#

fly definitely seems like best western team ye

pliant topaz
#

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

bleak night
#

i think mid is the only role where theres a turbo gap tomorrow

#

massu 50/50 depending on whether he shows up or not

swift tinsel
#

Oh shit they’re owned by the Bucks too lol

#

Well affiliated

#

But that basically makes them a local team

pliant topaz
#

yeah im worried quad gets destroyed by knight

#

if they get 3-0d i thnk its jhust gonna be mid gap

upbeat sorrel
#

Blg isn't even that good compared to the good China/KR teams

plush roost
#

Name good china teams xd

#

1: AL
2:
3:

#

#

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

pliant topaz
#

then it just shows the insane giga gap

upbeat sorrel
#

i think fly can make it close

#

could see fly winning or going to 5

tribal blade
#

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

@sly shore thats you in ascendance?

sly shore

That's me in ascendance

clever delta
#

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

tepid trellis
#

it aint the first time he is in there

sly shore
#

I was in that guild from

#

jailer to end of abberus

clever delta
#

i had some raid with them in the S3 i think (df)

sly shore
#

uh idk why they looking for rogue

#

definitely not me leaving lmao

clever delta
#

ryian was very honest back than, he liked me but said that trials usually dont see much of progress

sly shore
#

probs the other rogue

#

maybe his ethos on that has changed idk

#

guild has massively massively improved in the past few months

clever delta
#

nice

#

for semi 2-3 day raid guild very nice progress on S2

sly shore
#

3 day for first 2 weeks I think it was

#

I forget

#

it's basically the same as 2 day to me lol

tepid trellis
sly shore
#

After NA got bodied for multiple tiers in a row

#

Looks inside guild > 50% EU players

tepid trellis
#

to quote michael schumacher you are only as good as your last race

clever delta
#

rogue community so small

#

you basically look at any guild and know them

sly shore
#

high end rogue community is tiny

#

basically all rogues know all rogues at this point

clever delta
#

whats high end

#

what you consider by that name

#

becasue i basically look at random hof guild and i know them usually

sly shore
#

basically high hof

tepid trellis
#

i will never not consider the word Hall of fame

#

to only be top 100

#

im too old

clever delta
#

there are some openings for next tier, look like many rogues actually quit

#

i had fun last season idk

vestal escarp
#

Undermine was so ass for rog

runic trail
#

I didn't think it was that bad, barring spread cleave issues on some fights.

clever delta
#

im not playing in good enough guild to be tanked in meters 😄

#

im always among top

runic trail
#

Granted I'm raiding in very low end CE so my experiences differ a bunch

tepid trellis
#

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 strafewheeze

One went spriest and the other is going warrior

runic trail
clever delta
#

damn raiding in two guilds

#

at same time?

honest basin
#

Yuh, one is tu/wed/Thu, other is fri/sat

clever delta
#

well we lost other rogue too

runic trail
#

Committed

#

I'm on 2 nights a week main raid group and then the Friday drunk social raid

honest basin
#

Idk I like the WoW video game and the rogue class even tho devs seem to hate us lol

haughty mural
#

I wish I had that much time

runic trail
lilac stag
#

You could play Woyer

clever delta
#

i think next raid will be good for sub

#

more than for assa

#

with the council propably decent for outlaw

runic trail
clever delta
#

warrior is very brain dead dont have fun with it

tulip gorge
#

assa buffs at the start of the season confirmed

clever delta
#

im talkin about deisgn

#

not the numbers

#

there is lot of target swapping

tulip gorge
#

there are also more pure single target fights, no?

honest basin
#

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

sly shore
#

Most rogues are rerolling or quitting

#

This class has been handled atrociously

tulip gorge
#

now my question is for how long are we going to keep house of cards? KEKW

runic trail
#

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 uglyassdog

clever delta
#

not much since there is same trinket from new dungeon

tulip gorge
#

doesn't HoC give way more stats though

clever delta
#

idk does it?

honest basin
tulip gorge
#

usually raid trinkets are overtuned compared to m+ trinkets

clever delta
#

there will be tunning pass on trinket closer to release

sly shore
#

Im old

tulip gorge
honest basin
runic trail
#

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

honest basin
#

X d

runic trail
clever delta
#

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

tulip gorge
runic trail
honest basin
#

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

tulip gorge
hazy breach
#

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

tulip gorge
#

the one that gives crit?

hazy breach
#

Yes

tulip gorge
#

isn't that strength only?

hazy breach
#

str/agi

clever delta
tulip gorge
#

interesting

hazy breach
#

At the same ilvl as house of cards it gives roughly 50% more stats

#

(on ST)

tulip gorge
#

but I kinda doubt crit would beat mastery

hazy breach
#

Well 14k > 9k

runic trail
#

The math checks out

clever delta
#

i dont like crit

#

you can just get lucky

#

and crit useless 😄

honest basin
clever delta
#

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

runic trail
sly shore
#

Two is good

hazy breach
#

Its funny how people interpret assa being buffed as sub having bad stat scaling

tulip gorge
#

stat scaling is not that relevant nowadays

#

with how frequent tuning is

runic trail
#

We'd also then not have a rogue so no atrophic which, isn't a huge deal, but also, it's something

tulip gorge
#

(assuming they don't forget to buff sub like the last few times)

runic trail
#

You going evoker fully next season then?

sly shore
#

Idk i think evoker gaining 100k dps from an item that rogue gets 30k from is kinda a lot

runic trail
#

Our evoker went ham on prog, did some wild damage

sly shore
#

Evoker does silly damage still

clever delta
#

That was when I swapped from sub

#

Sub was running out of juice during that time anyway

vestal escarp
#

Halls of atonement 🥹

tulip gorge
#

you guys really expect them to not ruin halls of atonement? PepeLaugh

vestal escarp
tepid trellis
#

Sub only started falling behind cuz every other class/spec Got buffed

#

Sub was about middle

sly shore
#

Other classes got buffed from where sub was too

#

Which was funny

clever delta
#

yeah but monks and sps were flying under radar

#

for whole tier

tepid trellis
#

Monk was nerfed

clever delta
#

it was still best by far even after nerfs

tepid trellis
#

Nah dev was

#

Cuz they Got buffed at the same time

clever delta
#

i mean good for monks

#

they were overlooked for some time too

eye?

#

Oh you mean kezan, its not particularly good no

#

was looking more for how long it’ll last or if it’s getting replaced week 1 with a dungeon trinket

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

swift tinsel

runic trail
#

At least I never did halls of atonement the first time so it can't be ruined for me kekdog

hazy breach
tulip gorge
#

honestly how dumb must you be to design these huge ass aoes and not realize it's dogshit for melee

hazy breach
#

I dont think the penultimate boss works like that, but i have no idea about the last boss so shrugeg

lilac stag
leaden prairie
#

im like

#

ok my guy

#

how about fun in a video game tho

tribal blade
#

it's literally every single season as melee in M+

#

is utter dogshit

vestal escarp
tribal blade
#

you're nonstop dodging while ranged are chilling laughing at you

north schooner
#

brown circle hell combined with red circle hell garf_sit

lilac stag
#

simple solution. play ranged or ret

opal basalt
#

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

north schooner
#

also the packs in rookery which have the succ + the targeted circle around people

tribal blade
#

that for sure sucks

#

but at the same time you're not dealing with 50% of mechanics by default playing ranged

opal basalt
#

my main game still is raid and i feel like melee are chilling there much more

tribal blade
lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Ranged often just have to sidestep a few pixels

#

And have an ABC-enabling ability

#

We have storm

lilac stag
#

ranged have more movement planning. Melee is just following the tank.

swift tinsel
#

Kekw

tribal blade
#

as ranged you can also dodge in any direction you see fit

fallen crescent
#

Just throw a shuriken easy

tribal blade
#

as melee you're generally trying to stay in melee range while dodging

swift tinsel
#

And almost each ranged spec has a displacement ability

opal basalt
#

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

lilac stag
#

they’re just different.

tribal blade
#

i think in raid it's a coin toss between melee and ranged usually

opal basalt
#

subjective thing

tribal blade
#

depends on who the devs want to punish more

#

for M+ it's 90% melee being punished i feel

opal basalt
#

on neltharion i was big chilling

lilac stag
opal basalt
#

mistweaver = count as melee, do big heals fully ranged

#

that felt good

tribal blade
#

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"

opal basalt
#

i mean halondrus clip is good enough no?

#

but yeah i remember that naowh clip

tribal blade
#

sums it up perfectly for me haha

lilac stag
#

Oh wait that was melee doing nothing.

tribal blade
#

yeah haha

lilac stag
#

forgot the /s

hazy breach
#

Well raid often has exceptions

tribal blade
#

i'm talking solely about M+ though

#

raid it's 50/50

runic trail
fleet wharf
#

OAB felt significantly easier as melee compared to ranged too

lilac stag
opal basalt
#

bro i'm just watching the halondrus melee vs ranged meme video

tribal blade
#

blizz is generally pretty good about heavily punishing ranged on encounters in raid

opal basalt
#

and theres a sub rogue toping the meters

swift tinsel
#

No miss auto attacks go big

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

Plus that tier set was dumb

tribal blade
#

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

swift tinsel
#

Perma blades

tribal blade
#

yeah literally

swift tinsel
#

Cleave strike cleaving quadratically via nimble

tribal blade
opal basalt
#

cannot look at logs anymore

swift tinsel
#

85-90% blades uptime

tribal blade
#

would also be proccing the 4pc quite a bit more because of FI

opal basalt
#

sounds good

#

bring it back blizz

tribal blade
#

that was also a nerfed set sadly

#

it was incredible on ptr

#

then the nerfs to the %s made the rng way worse

vestal escarp
#

They were cracked for a reason

#

This power level is not normally coming back

opal basalt
#

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

fleet wharf
#

Will it be a clvl squish, ilvl squish or both?

tulip gorge
#

I expect the numbers to be squished to shadowlands level

opal basalt
#

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

tribal blade
#

they would go below 1 mil probably

fleet wharf
#

what range did shadowlands start at?

#

I think like 3k dps right?

tribal blade
#

honestly can't remember, i vaguely remember thousands of dps
