Backstab/Shadow Dance Macro:yaml #Showtooltip Shadow Dance /cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow DanceThis will cast Shadow Dance on first key press and Backstab on second key press.
Fuck yeah loved warlock tanking
Okay so how's this: Warlock tank but it's an armour made of imps. You are just covered in imps.
XD
Shaman: Earth, water, lightning A mix of % dmg reduction, spell reduction and thorns
and maybe an elemental pet at your side all the time that you could command to go and pick up adds or smth?
Like a mobile brewmaster totem
I was more thinking of something kind of, built new from the ground up, because a lot of the jank we see nowadays might be to do with building open a 20 year old game
Soul link like mechanic where it takes a percentage of your dmg as an elemental Tether link
And u have to Feed it with elemental forces by using abilities
To regenerate him
Simillar to brewmaster stagger healing ur Ox, kinda cool
They tried it with project titan
I don't know much about that other than it got killed off or something?
Yessir, dead and gone
Unrelated to Wow but am I the only one sad about the Blizz survival game being killed
They canceled it yea. It was supposed to be wow2 like you described it
I would've really liked to see what it could've been.
Same, survival games are my JAM outside of WoW/League/r6,
got like 2k hours in Dayz, way more in the fallout saga
I'm excited for Abotic Factors launch this month
How's subs damage looking in comparison to the other specs in raid next patch?
Too early to say still there will be more tuning in the next 3 weeks
I doubt they leave ptr tuning as is given the current state of enhance and fdk
I wasn't following it too closely, are they OP or not functional?
90 second cd btw
seems about right. they should that to our dance next
Yep breath having 80% uptime surely nothing wrong here
rawdogged a cinderbrew without shaman
The spec rn is busted like hunter spriest
Rogue still dumbster
Isn't it better to not be busted right now? like there's enough time to fix shit, so being busted now just means you get nerfed which means you might be shit when the patch launches
there's my mega copium
I thought frostfire fire mages were pretty good, I guess not
Eh could have died idk the details
We learnt from last season. Keep your head low until patch happens
well I'd argue sub wasn't shit when patch launched, but yea, being busted in ptr didn't seem to have been a net positive at the end
Not shit, still got taken down a peg or two though
let's just pray they fix the bugs. But it seems like with the direction blizz wants to go, we might actually be using goremaw?
very fair
Goremaw will never be a thing until strike cost 100 energy
If they keep making the followup coup stronger, isn't there a breakpoint at which it becomes worthwhile to take maw to make better use of coups?
well its the 1st coup that is doing the 50% extra dmg
you can look it up in detail in the 1st pin
But biggest issue is that maw tries to fix energy, while shadowcraft does it better
you got one part of that wrong
Sure, but I was thinking more about the design intentions the devs seem to be going with it, but yea, as it is it won't happen
also hits like a wet noodle for some reason
letsgoooooo, back to how it was in dragonflight
not sure what goremaw has to do with it really
Yea, prolly a longshot, but I thought since goremaw makes it easier to use 4p while not in cds, maybe math might work out for it to be worthwhile?
most likely not. 2 issues. 1) outside of cds damage matters very very very little and the cadence you cast finishers (atleast in single target/ low target cleave) is not very often. so trying to push more damage in that time doesnt really make much sense.
and 2) goremaw means you are losing another capstone talent most of which often buff your dance windows
so youre giving up things that buff when you do damage, to "help" things that buff when you dont do damage
but again its all tuning, if they buff goremaw to do 4 times moree dmaage then u take it.
but for now. its a meme
I hope it remains one
In fact, I wish Goremaw's a very nice removed from the game. What a silly talent node.
some people liked the nostalgia of it i guess. and it was a nice useless filler to help fill out the talent tree without thinking too much about what to put in there
I still think id rather remove like 30% of the tree and just put fun stats like +1 aura +2 rizz etc
its less insulting
Same
Like i said the other day: replace like, PV, with a node that just makes you shoot fireworks on a crit
Already a more fun node than PV
Yeah, it'd own
No notes
Goremaw's Bite: Now a battle pet and he bites
Am i the only one that thinks it's okay for some talents to be bad? Otherwise we're gna end up with the 3 options every 10 levels style talent tree which sucked
some talents being bad and whats in sub tree are very different
perforated veins exist
Assa is a better example of how a talent tree should be.
Sub should be, exclusively, about finisher damage. Everything should be built to buffing, improving or allowing cool finishers. That's our role and identity. Except we have a load of builder things in the tree that are useless because we functionally do no damage outside of cooldowns. So builders aren't really an impactful way to deal damage. It's just pointless node after pointless node
Make 'em shoot fireworks
To put into context how bad perforated veins is, if the 50% bonus was ALWAYS active, it still wouldnt be stronger than 1 point of finality

if a talent is so bad that it's always a bad choice, it's better that they just remove it so noobs don't pick it by mistake
If it's so bad it'll never be taken then it's a failure of design and should be examined (see; Shadowheart in the class tree)
PV was the talent we asked for a rework before they put it in the tree
Say it aint so!
didnt knew it was this dire man 
it just never happend to get a reasonable change
it was bad in SL and did create in best case annoying gameplay
optimally yes, but they are unwilling to spend time on those talents, they might as well temporarily delete them. Shadowheart must be bugged anyway there is no way they only intended it to work with stealth not subterfuge/SD. Not that it wouldn't be garbage if it worked as expected
Wait it foesnt count for subter or shadowdance???????
Jesus christ
So you get 1 hit of 2% leech per fight with it.

Soon we get 20x damage buff to shuriken toss
Grants improved find weakness
improved depression
We there already
big shuriken toss but it's just a mount
honestly if sin rogues get "apply poisons"
why dont we get "applys find weakness"
i hate sin rogues
purple poisons
hallucinating poisons which spawn clones (which are pet entities) to damage the enemy
BfA's approach to giving all of them distinct identity (or, well, the evoltuion post WoD into BfA) was neat.
no pet entities. They'll fall down the hole
as a warlock player i can assure you that you do not want pets
any ptr news for us
you don't need to be a lock player to know that pets are garbage
sectec's constant issues are in part 'cos of the dumbass shadow clones being pets haha
Hey akaari is trying her best
Akaari should try harder
Unfortunate that her best is not good at all
At least rookery is going away
And we won't have to think about the first boss for a while
I think akaari is just tired of having to perform sectecs for all 100 sub rogues out there
She absorbed the souls of a bunch of other assassins she should give them a chance
Maybe the reason we get nothing is so akaari can finaly take a nap
what does your heart tell you
yuge ptr changes tomorrow
||(lie)||
Weāve gotten something pretty much every week so far
Well i love you
Wait til Thursday
this week will be nothing
Then doom
5% sectech nerf
and 5% assa aura buff
Crystal ball says something deathstalker-related this week
Hopefully trickster set fix
can DS even BE more back
Trickster set fix would be good because it'd resolve the biggest current unknown (I.e.,: do we get a working tier set)
flurry fix 
Bp buff, tierset nerf, and a new collage for reddit
shadow finishers fix (because they delete it)
pv replaced with hemorrhage
Iād think fixing second coup would be priority but who knows
They fixed broken coup the week after last time it was busted
why does bro even still want FW? what purpose does this garbage buff have? just so they can introduce bugs every single patch/tier? FW is a just a meme filler that ties 20 other talents into it for fun so we can fill up the tree cuz having a tree thats 80% empty wasnt acceptable i guess
FW -> 99% uptime, just so i acn get fucked the 1% its not up for fun
because if theyre going to force it up my ass, i at least want it lubed
just so shadowed finisher is always bugged
I want it gone completely
Delete FW from the game and put Goremaw's as the first node
why aren't you hired yet
because I keep asking for a poison toggle
if i was leveling my rpgue and i had maw as 1st talent i would have never mained rogue
u know what would help with that? not locking relentless strikes int he middle of nowhere behind 30 levels
No thatās blades special spot
I would say "I think Blades should just be baked into the spec" but I guess it effectively is because you can't not take it
Or, I guess you can but realistically it'll always be taken.
SecTec as the first node, Restless below it. Blades below that. Bam.
hc raid experince smile
Monkey paw curls, "fw is now baseline, replaced by goremaws in the talent tree"
Thereās places to put it where itās still an essential node without it being the second row
Thatās how literally every other spec is besides outlaw
Ye
Usually in the middle of the first gate
common rogue dev 
Daily prayer to remove the energy costs from all finishers baseline š
Relentless where blades is would be like sin getting theirs just as early, I like it
You could probably put Double Dance as the first node or something if FW was baseline.
Venomous*
Based
eks dee true remove energy. then remove the spec. we are so back
Remove energy and replace it with Void Power (it's energy but purple)
you get Void Power but Akaari is the one responsible for restoring it
anyone here remember the peak innovation they made for sub during DF ptr?
so we got basically fully copy pasted stuff with 0 new things except the 1 banger capstone talent
that u farted smoke
and smelling the farts would reset your step
im not even kidding btw
that was the main capstone of hte tree
what a time
armin on killing spree
lmao
you can't just say the K word

Purple backstab and free finishers
thatās what its all about baby
The amount of copium here is of the charts. We won't see anything substantial, maybe bugfixes at best
Nah weāre just the guys on death row talking about what weād do if we got free
No one is expecting anything substantial
my favorite copium is that they have a secret little team in blizzard working on a big fix that we wonāt see for a couple years but the big fix will absolutely rock
that one is actually true. It's just permanently 2 years away from <current_day>
!mistakes
Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:
- Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
- Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
- Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
- If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
Thats assa, we are the left out of picture side character watching
hi
hi pookie
Is there any good 1.5min trinkets for us this coming tier? Any of them from dungeons?
Link pls <3?
is basically little worse HOC
Theres one from halls of atonment too
However its insanely overtuned and likely to get nerfed before live
The most likely trinket we end up using is unyielding netherprism
is the one from halls 90 sec too?
Yes
No
nah
Cursed stone idol
Yes
tf its an aoe scaling trinket?
It gives a wild amount of crit
It just randomly gives way more stats than anything else
Whats the one from the new dungeon?
Found it
So very simple slightly less strong house of cards
nice
710 ilvl 9.2k mastery
It certainly is a trinket that exists
Yep, lily sucks
Yeah its decently weaker
Fwiw house of cards kinda suck too
Its below the general stat budget they usually have until you have 3 stacks
But ye once they fix the idol were probably just playing prism
Mhm Mhm
trinket tuning for sure will happen ^^
yea surely
Hey
At least it isn't transmitter

the state of trinkets post transmitter made everyone regret transmitter
never again will have to to position slightly away from the boss to see the stupid orb
What's the thoughts about double on use with prism
Surely I'm not the only one that loves that idea
pacemaker š£ļø
Forge prism so fun
I dont see the point compared to just running prism
the new lilly trinket is omega bad. At max itemlevel it gives you slightly more mastery then a hoc at 684.
Its just bad
Also all trinkets are all over the place and some you cant even test.
whats the forge/prism trinks
and for giggles put the halls one too
that you cant really test except by looting it
š
which is absurd
that trinket is bis for everyone that kinda likes or really likes crit
we kinda like crit so ya
also perfect for our cds
its def getting nerfed lol
tbh idm if the best trinkets come from m+
if not thats kinda egregious oversight
how would forge/prism even look like for us? would we use forge on pull and 3:00 and then prism inbetween?
Yeah
Shouldnt be that many other specs that want it over the 2 min one
No its the same
nvm ya

Heres the actual changes from this week
That arent just some unreadable datamined bunch of garbage
No sub changed kekw
Did our Dev get tired after posting the few changes from last week lol?
he resigned. sorry bro no more changes until they hire someone new
we got the super secret 1 button macro assits change you guys forget?
I canāt take deathstalker anymore please donāt make sin meta for raid prog š
wish granted but sub needs to go deathstalker next patch
Please be true
ROGUE
Deathstalker hero talents are now baseline for every class specialisation.
Iāll play outlaw Iāll do anything to not touch deathstalker again
I mean for raid thats definitely true
DS added to outlaw too
I like my raid spot thank you
Iām also a rat that plays the good thing for rogue I just hope it is also the fun thing
I just play sub 
For us, our boss kills are dependent on us not eating glue and doing mechanics so, its fine probably 
My hope is that they make prism stack up to 18 or 20, so we can skip out on using it on a flag+blades to save for the next one without losing a bunch of stacks
But im not holding my breath
The 2:30 seems pretty intentional
To create more friction 
Only friction they should get is their toilet paper being the shitty cheap one layer type
I like being in dance for the first 45s of the fight with tfd and new tier
rotten add 0.1s icd

maybe this mean storm will not consume two stacks of rotten at once
where was this?
rotten indeed fixed with storm
pyhton script
Yeah seemed like it in my testing
Sub season 
is sub gonna be the prog spec for rogue next season?
it is if you want it to be
holy surely every single bug in the game is fixed now
im only asking bc i hope it isnt
its my prog spec every season
but then i get bullied by my guild ;-;
Are they a hall of fame guild?
no
Definitely not the most impactful bug, but hey we take anything we can get
6/8 m but they want to get CE
Then ignore them because thereās plenty of folks that get CE without forcing their players into specific specs
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
was nimble fixed in any way?
coup delay shadowcraft/sht refund isnt fixed š¦
nimble interaction with SB doesn't seem fixed
HOLY SHIT SUB ROGUE IS SO BACK NOW
and the tier bonus still seems to apply to the first coup instead of the second
subrogue will be meta in m+ this season
if they are aware of the rotten bug and fixed it we may get bigger bugfixes
it was most likely just the low hanging fruit
Yes lingering is fixed too

finally all sub rogues can go DS just like they wanted 
what was lingering bug?
Worked on items and didnt work on sectech
Cant wait for a ds meta (ill rerrol)
Minor fixes are better than no fixes atleast
Hopefully they go on a spree and fix a bunch more, but only time can tell
crosses all fingers and toes for mark fix
a bug Killing Spree?
huehuehue
Did rogue get a buff?
on ptr
i invited an old key friend yesterday for a 20
chatted a bit
today queue up for their 20 and don't get invited
i'm kinda done with the key pushing community
that's pretty shitty

haha ty š
Iāve enjoyed your emotional rollercoaster
bro it's horrible
Thereās a distinct parallel with key pushing and what some of my students try to do on a specific piece of agility equipment. They all eventually get to the conclusion you came to.
I was hoping youād see it sooner. You got there eventually.
So, do rogues have a lead dev?
as much as any other class does
fair lol
@tribal blade just tried sub in cinderbrew 
haha how bad was it
or how GOOD was it
not very good compared to sin
overall is fine but in ipa wing
feels like you never have cds
kinda bad route though
in comms its probably not that bad
but with pug tank/route quite awful
the way sub does dmg just feels like complete ass in there
nothing lined up with my cds
and wtf are you supposed to do on ipa
that is a dream boss for sin but for sub you just kinda meekly hit the boss
im about to run silent storm for night terrors
in CB
bro tell me about it
that was the nightmare the last time i ran cinderbrew as sub
we had a big pull onto buzzbank and everything died before i got to the 2nd dance
and even if sub and sin did identical overall in cinderbrew, sin would still be way better because of the dmg profile
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
without you its prob less than 5 sub title pushers then
I believe in my goat
(i hate to break it i'm pushing as sin)
(i'm a traitor)
Eleem also pushed as sin no?
ā
as mostly sin yeah
bro another person i know isn't inviting me
i fucking hate this game
i'd invite you
aren't you a little cutie patootie
*unless Sub Rogue becomes meta
hha
sub rogue will br meta next patch for sure
Meta in my heart
id be doing sub pushing if i wasnt stuck pugging
past 16s i just gave up and played classic because it was actively counterproductive trying to wait for groups for THAT long
i'm turning the sub channel into my own personal emotional support
Same
haha!
Blue Proto-drake won't drop and it's awful!!!
Also Jastor's simmed more for me so rip, 682 instead of 683 equipped. What a travesty
better ilvl parses tho
damn i'm sorry
Have you tried sacrificing a farm animal?
no way I love animals
just run around looking for a CE guild reclearing n raid with them for 3 weeks to get a myth jastor from dinars for 10k more dps that youll replace the week season 3 launches
I mean being in the Sub Channel is like seeking for emotional support anyways
my bag iLevel is 685 anyway
very true!
I was contemplating if I wanted to do weekly M+ but there's precisely 1 item that's an upgrade (Crit/versa or crit/mastery I forget) gloves so lmao. Season done.
M0 week 1 drops at 681 Champ 1/8 so it's just gonna be replaced by those
are there actually good vers/mastery rings/necklaces?
have not been paying attention
Good question
Oh, Priory is back so there's the ring from there
Strong Mast weak Versa one
Vers mast ring from db, very heavy mast/crit neck from raid
Nice
When it comes to bosses that have a "weakened" phase, (eg last boss of Rookery) do we save CD's for that phase or simply pray we get something lined up in time?
u save em
YIPPIE I love this spec 680 DH casting eyebeam whenever he feels like it and doing 5 gajillion dps
(ty)
like 75% of your dmg all comes from that 16sec window during cds
so having a 100%-200% dmg amp on it
does quite a bit
Yeah makes sense, I imagined that was the way as well
sub cranks on that last boss
holding cds and absolutely ripping it apart feels very nice
i imagine at higher keys that is less so the case since it takes so dam long
in higher keys you throw cds at the shield as long as you know they will be back for the amp phase
mostly the 1m cds like dance and sectec
flag and sb always for amp phase
sub becomes better on that boss on higher keys
much better
because the time between burns is long enough to get your cds back
oh yeah for sure
i saw that assassin --> sub tech
but the fact that on 12s-15s it can be a 1-2 minute fight
but on 19s n 20s n such it just takes SOOOO long feeeeels less great
it feels pretty amazing being sub on the boss because you absolutely nuke the boss
you can guarantee a 3 phase, which is pretty dope
i'm still using CDs wrong on that boss i think, because most of the time my other dps are too lazy to burst the shield down 
but then again, i'm only playing weeklies so it doesnt really matter
just use a single dance n its probably all you can do
ye
on weeklies the shield shouuuuuld go down fast enough to where even the 1 dance is even pushing it depending on how long youve got left
this is why im learning outlaw now
so i can have a mix of holding cds and absolutely NUKING bosses
and zoomer piano gameplay
the funny part is on a 19 you can send 1 dance and then afk at the end of the shield to delay it breaking for your cds to get back and to build up sht
dude hell yeah
hyped for more azerite why not
wait so are these assassin and outlaw changes datamined for next week?
like hell yeah more rogue buffs but also nothing for sub š
Still no subtlety buffs ?
beyond the ones from last week to coup (i think?) i havent seen anything no
granted theyre not THAAAAAAAAAT bad in raid i think
just sad coming from someone who just kinda tries to brute force push keys on sub
That datamine is the old 8% sin got
ah ok
i was really surprised at first
like theres no way sin was so undertuned that they needed to get hit with 2 back to back blanket 8% buffs
do you have a link ?
oh nvm
old datamine from the sin aura buff

the assa one is the same as the last week one
and fwiw the azerite shit showing up
its just because they changed the aura
happens all the time
i hated this tier set for sub with dices and rng shit tbh, i think i can try once again sub with this new tier
The range set is so much better with that little sound
It gives actual winning feels instead of lose it all gambling addiction
i got tilted too many times in my cd windows when 0 dices got rolled its like, im not getting any tier set buffs
yeah i can have bad luck
haha
thats why i dont track it at all š
1 less thing to be pissed about when it doesnt turn out well
Current tier feels like RNG but it isnt
New tier doesnt feel as RNG but its very very much so
we keep the current randomness ^^
i feel like a decent chuck of parsing well is gonna be proccing 2p
get god tier rolls and you're cruising
Its not "slightly more RNG", its significantly more random
The old set isnt even that rng, its mostly the theme
It's all about getting coups early in the dance
So they all fit inside dark shadow
i think most people will enjoy the new tier more
because watching you lose your 8 stack of tier right before cds feels awesome
Just dont track it 
I totally dont like the gameplay of new 4p
Until they realize whatās going on 
Counterpoint: double coup fun
I donāt see adding more spell casts of AoE spells into a ST rotation as fun
Its fine that can be fixed
It can ye, in theory
can and will are not the same bruh
In current form itās an overall downgrade imo, and we already had a lackluster theme tier.
bursts just looks better on a chart. Gameplay is worse.
At this point I'm just happy to be getting out of undermine
37 mugzee 'reclear' pulls, no kill 
That has nothing to do with the quality and gameplay of the tier set 
Pressing twice must be double the fun. Donāt mind layer of shit used for the filler in the coup sandwich.
true
Hello guys i'm sorry if that's been talked about already but i have huge freeze when i play subtlety and no other class or spec, i believe it start with the first time i use cold blood + Secret Tech, is it a known issue ?
lol yes
nope. Likely a you thing. Usually suspects are WA, platter, not clearing wow cache, etc.
People are just going to play assa again.
try turning off your WAs you use for sub and see if it freezes again
most likely yeah
fDK can handle the 45/90 burst in the raid.
outside of early prog
let me off cursed gameplay train
piano opener for assa wasnāt fun but it was the opener. letās piano every set of CDs. amazing. 
people would just create a cast sequence every time a opener is too complicated
no reason for the cds sequence to be where it is with stab strike and storm for builders.
itās not intuitive. Itās not a āfrictionā choice. Itās just bad.

Unnecessary friction for god knows what reasons
assa piano was kino honestly
in general, 10.2 assa gameplay was great with envenom chaining
And then fall apart when it doesn't work because they don't understand why conditions are important
I'm guilty of using one though so I can't say much lol
Piano assa wasnāt even half as bad as UHDK has been with the openers
I reckon that when udk was playin piano they were gapping everything at inc and topping statistics

Theyāve been playing piano quite often. CN is was bad. Also hilarious what a difference that PI made for getting everything in the opener window vs not.
a lot of people have issues after the opener even without a cast sequence, because the "opener" is just a sequence for them you can remember by hard
wait, r we hatin or new 4p or what
I still have my warlocks mop opener macro that I put onto scroll wheel and mashed for like 10 globals
The gameplay is worse
i guess now i have to read what it does
tldr youāre using shuriken storm (or toss) in-between coups and free coup
WHAT
shouldn't really be that surprising
why not regular builder
until they change eb
potential stack waste
oooh
how does our timeline keep getting worse
but is that actually huge?
The devs donāt actually play the spec
i don't think its the devs
Slightly less than 1%, so not huge no
we just find ways to exploit problems
But since you almost always end up with disorienting strikes up inbetween the coups (during blades, which is only when you''d use the storm)
exploit weakness you mean
You'd waste a stack most of the time if you dont
At this point I donāt think they actually play dps warriors, rogue or ww. The ideas are all cooked worse than Lashga
if you have two builders that specifically don't contribute to EB then they're the obvious choice for builders between coups
And since we have 2p its possible you waste 2 stacks, which feels real bad
we find weakness in their design
and one of them costs the same as bs
fix stack problems by playing DS š
The problems are there because theyāve convoluted every interaction of abilities within the spec.
ds slowly gaining momentum but still anus gameplay
It just had a monkeypaw bugfix
Lingering now works on sectech, but no longer works on plague damage
yeah saw it lost item interaction
and that
we always had some min/max problems
pv was for most of its existence a pain to play around
The spec has had interaction issues for a long time.
theyāve just continued to make them worse
think its every spec
nope
it just comes down to how far you want to go with optimizations
What's eb stand for
all the way ofc
escalating blade
the stacks granted from Unseen Blade strikes
You can watch RFW try to min max everything in the rotation. Other specs just arenāt nearly this degen.
general concensus is wanting it to stack to 6-8 to grant stack waste protection
because now there's notable unavoidable waste unless you specifically try to avoid it which is kinda stinky
bad gameplay / feed back loop is just that. bad. no sugar coating it
then they fix toss
I mean that would be nice from a base hero tree perspective
if eb stacked higher
or just make the 4pc 2nd coup thing a separate buff
fixes it too
bring on gunslinger please
Just completed more than 50% of it
Guns and poison vials/bombs
ogod, gunslinger debate was had the other day
which debate
There was a long discussion about Void Dh which lead into: does DH deserve a new spec (that could just be another melee agi class) which then lead into: giving classes VERY new specs
A ranged rogue, shaman tank, mage healer
if rogue gets a rework
Rogue tank even
what? im more for deleting fckin specs than adding new
they cant even balance this
let alone add more
just delete 1 or 2 specs from 3-dps spec classes
Honestly not sure anyone else wants that, truly anyways.
I find all three specs very complex and difficult to play. I think the specs should be simplified in their rotation.
What happens to the 1000's of hours ppl put into mastering the specs you want deleted
I mean, in the perfect world we would be getting new specs or existing ones reworked more often but they r obv struggling
how often do we get a patch where a spec wasnt touched for the big part of it
A lot of the discussion ended up around: can WE think of enough stuff to give our "theory" specs to make them seem legit
sub, or arcane or surv or w/e
And the TL:DR was not rlly
What spells does Gunslinger have that isn't already done by another class, same as roguetank and shaman tank
The main thing gunslinger adds: ranged rogue spec.
Shamtank: New, VERY unique playstyle tank with elemental buffs
Roguetank: Dodgetank? Kinda brewmaster sort of? I think gestalt came up with some nice ideas tho
I'm wondering how we're supposed to play the specs in the Midnight expansion if WeakAuras won't be supported anymore.
they will be
Any degenerate gameplay for the coming tier set?
they cant pull the plug on WA untill they r sure their solution is top notch
Like saving cold blood for second Coup or
and they will need several iterations for that
Sub doesnt really have anything relying on weakauras
i beg to differ š
what about my WA that tells me when its safe to use flag š
and the one that tells me flag has less than 30 sec cd so i dont blow my dance
if the cooldown manager tracks dance, sod, flag then you don't really need auras
Well you could just look at the cooldowns
from my understanding weakauras will still exist
The addon CMC lets you heavily edit the in-game Cooldown manager, I've personally used it to replace half, maybe more of my WAs
just won't be able to solve raid mechanics for you
I tried the Sub spec yesterday, but I have no idea how to keep track of everything. š
Well most things are irrelevant
Symbols, dance, flag, blades, sectech, combo points and energy are pretty much all you need. A couple of other small things could net you some minmax stuff
Rupture too ig
also cooldowns are there to stay, when i write WA, i make em show up only when they r relevant
and then go away
For me it's Symbols, Flag, Shadow Blades and SHadowdance
rupture is handled by nameplates and the rest is sort of intuition
But ye sub has a ton of buffs that you'd maybe want to track initially, but then you realize youre never actually playing around them so whats the point of tracking them
That is most people on rogue. What we consider easy (assa) a lot of people struggle with. Outlaw and Sub both amp the difficulty up pretty significantly. Thereās a reason why rogue isnāt played. How intuitive it is being one. Lack of any real visual fx is likely another.
What is the con return storm or toss giving eb
Lack of "awesomeness" when buttons hit does suck.
But it's not that graphics don't exist, shadow step has an animation we can't really appreciate
Wdym? You mean what the downside of it proccing eb would be?
Well nothing really, but it is what it is 
If you canāt see them, they donāt exist. 
guys
i keep thinking about assassination someone help
someone knock me out rq or somthin
Playing assassination will cure any thoughts about playing assassination dw
Play whatever
ty god king Messerknecht
just donāt play rogue if you have the option
technically yes, but i just spent all day catching up bc i just came back after not playing since wk2 of the tier
TLDR. Everything is worse gameplay wise for rogue except assa. 

Sub plays really good
Sub is the only spec I feel comfortable on lmao
I just don't have as much time to play as I use to nowadays, so getting declined to keys bc I am Sub probably means I lose half my playtime
xdd
sad truth
If you try assassination the bleed build is really fun
is that the one with improved garrote or without
It definitely has imp garrote
i saw like 1 thing of assa just before and it was a build with no garrote
no improved no shrouded
Itās the one without kingsbane
Good news sub still not good in m+
Sadeg
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I might have to check that out
Bleed Build
Envenom do a lot of damage poison
true i did it in a key earlier today for vault and i remembered why i decided to just not bother pushing keys
holy shit DS mark is the worst thing ever
acutally delete it from the game please
I canāt wait to be done pushing
What you at rn
Listening to prophet should prevent anyone from pushing keys.
amp poison?
it has a bit
Amp poison yeah
this is honestly the biggest thing turning me off lmaoo
i hate that minigame bro
woops i forgot to ambush!!!!
woops i forgot to tab target!!!
my bad guys
i kinda want to just get 3.4k and call it a day (which isn't hard i've just been afk from keys for about 3 months)
just donāt target swap
I just got 3800
We are trying to time ws and fg
I actually got our best time in fg as subtlety š
Woops a random mob targeted me in stealth
Because they can do that 
Itās like your lowest priority
ok ty
So you donāt see that much
Basically just donāt spam envenom unless dn or shiv is up
ah ok

ig it makes sense with no amp poison or kb to ramp
ill try it out
i think i have lots of crit gear anyway
Make sure to play like a rat for the true bleed build experience
lmao wdym
You can pad really easy with vanish and ct in that build
Like if you spread bleeds on the adds on priory last boss
ah xdd
Youāll do 100m+ on them
Play sub -> accused of padding because no funnel
Play sin -> accused of padding because of sudden demise
what time is patch?
Sudden demise not working with singular focus is sadge
that would be so giga
Doesnt matter that much really,
looks like a ring
what did u expect from the first vault
giga loot to convince me to keep playing
i got my first myth track 1H weapon on my dk last reset
had 2 681 crafted
and i even did 8 keys for like 5-6 weeks in a row
got like 10 2H, even tho i was in frost loot spec the entire patch
they should rethink the vault in its entirety
imho they should give us more control over the loot
having so much gamba sux
How does sub feel in The ptr?
Plays pretty much exactly the same as it does on live as there has been no changes
True true
remember when it used to just be one random piece of gear with 0 choice where you could pick from
yea... vault is an upgrade comparing to that, but still far away from being the best solution
i mean
I dont understand why is it so hard to just give players some valor tokens at the end of the week based on the amount and lvl of content they did so u get to buy an item from the vendor
we have dinars now (hopefully still)
so bad luck protection is there
there has to be a limit somewhere of just
just make the vault tokens that version of dinar
handing out every piece of gear
adjust cost accordingly
well u wouldnt need bad luck protection if u gave more control to ppl
would it be so bad if i cleared heroic raid, killed a few myth bosses, did 8 10+ keys to be able to earn enough tokens to buy the item i want in 2 weeks
to be fair, most games in the recent years move away from player agency and towards randomness
well we do have randomness when we kill boss and at the end of the dung
imho that should be enough
bring back charms and delete vault 
well u gotta get 15 items or so
if u adjust cost of items u could have a leverage on the timings
also off-specing could be easier
e.g. if i want to offspec outlaw its fckin impossible for at least a month or so
crafting already ticks that box in a few slots
you can get just shy of max ilvl
which is fine while you're still gearing
Reroll tokens or Diner tokens would be nice.
Could probably keep it slow during start of the season and ramp it up towards the end.
Well no, the crests are absolutely not more towards randomness compared to previous iterations
You have quite a lot of agency in what items you decide to upgrade
wasnt weekly chest also quite random?
add BFA azerite traits
the ilvl
i dont even remember
I still want more gem slots
Why
chat
They dont do anything
Only thing i would want them to change with the vault is adding avoidance/leech from the vendor if you dont pick an item
I liked adding gems. To me, it feels good to have a fully socketed item
if gems contributed more than the smallest fraction of a percent maybe
That too
they're just not noticable enough with their current budget
Guys, maybe the rogue class dev is just a really big sub fan and deciding to stay in stealth
Yep exactly
!!
even they don't know the class
!!!
They just pretend they do
they just fixed bugs yesterday
Wait acc :O
yes, storm no longer consumes both rotten stacks and lingering from deathstalker tree was partially fixed
omniman.png
Maybe he's really into death stranding but terrible at it. So his delivery is always delayed.
rogue devs are all off their adhd meds.
rogue has devs 
Probably because across all classes it would take a ton of space on the blue post ig
is it some kind of gaslighting thing where they just want us to think those bugs never existed?
Monkeypaw type shit with the bugfix though
Ye lingering now works on sectech
But it no longer works on plague damage from the tree
i was thinking about the rotten actualy
already forgot lingering was a thing for sub
if thats on blue posts, so should bug fixes
So, potentially stupid question cos im brand new to sub
Rog fixes rarely go on blueposts
I'm presuming during shadow dance I dont want to use secret technique immediately cos I want dance stacks first right?
They are almost always shadowdropped
No, you want to use it as soon as possible to get your unseen blades and flawless stacks up
Ahhh gotcha
So you dont want to sit on sectech and waste cdr by using other finishers
(except if flag is coming up shortly, then its fine)
that doesn't fit the doom narrative
lol the usual this xpac
Since being strong in raid means we are not gonna get m+ buffs
Whereas being weak in raid often leads to buffs, regardless of m+ performance

if they fix nimble we'd be stylin in m+
by shortly, is there a set time or just play by ear?
is our ptr m+ on the same lvl as current state m+ on live?
Like 20-30s until flag yes
Very similar atleast ye
cool
Solid, but not great
doubt it
as long as its good for +12's im happy lol
strong rogue*
Weāve been strong in raid two season starts and end up shit tier
we're by no means the highest damage
just the highest opener?
Idk sub seems like the least played rogue spec which is kinda drawing me to it lol
So just the better rogue spec today which means worst rogue spec and bottom tier in first 2-4 weeks of season starts
Good jokes
so I guess no PI
there's better targets
according to bloodmallet only bdk and brewmaster below sub for pi
imagine sub with a tangible haste interaction
10 globals in dance, lesgo
did anyone build haste sub rogue just for fun and tried playing it?
would you feel the difference aside abilities hitting like wet noodles
Yeah you would feel it, but the main thing about haste is that its mostly good for our downtime to get more cdr
no dmg in downtime so
So haste on gear isnt nearly as horrible as people think
But the big bursts of haste from BL or PI isnt very strong
would be interesting to see if they add some kind of cdr amplification based off of haste in next set of changes, in 10 years or so
That would probably create the same problem as Outlaw, where you have a haste tax to hit a certain breakpoint then stop caring about haste afterwords
i don't mind haste being not that great
haste loses value from not reducing gcd as well
anyone know why top two rogues on mug'zee use the talent "the first dance" instead of "weaponmaster"?
When i sim, weaponmaster is better by 0,4%
Also when i sim head enchant, it says echoing void is the best, but when i compare my logs to someone with gushing wound, their enchant does like 3x the damage. Is raidbot bad? what do you guys use to sim? I'm simming patchwerk 5 mins
you aren't wearing the same gear as other people so you shouldn't necessarily expect the same results
that's the whole point of simulations - they tell you what is best for you
Echoing void is bugged for rogues (and a few other classes) so use gushing or void ritual instead
But in terms of weaponmaster VS the first dance. Neither are particularly powerful so it doesnt really matter, but TFD tends to outperform on shorter fights
tfd gains over wm if you are setting up predisorienting before pull and wm loses if you ever have downtime/cast shuriken storm etc
even at 5min
thanks guys! ā¤ļø
TFD going to be used on all fights because of jank tier. 
tfd goated so no loss
would be goated if it didnāt need 6s (or more) out of combat and would be used off vanish.
still a jank implementation in its current form.
just WM implementation worse. 
goated in raid yea kinda cringe in m+
magic out of combat timer that starts when it pleases
Ive been told it should be more consistent and better on the ptr
(thus making the macro not work)
I donāt think you can really say any one of our talents are goated.
is this real?
