As in the timer doesnt get delayed as often and usually starts immediately ye
I cant confirm though as i havent played any ptr
ill take it with a grain of salt then, but good be great
master of shadows 
sleeping on warning signs
the warning sign is about taking the talent
So what are we coping about today lads and ladies?
[gestures broadly]
guys am i sticking to assassination or am i switching to sub for patch 11.2? im not big into ptr testing news rn
Which do you like more
in gerneal im leaning more to sub i think
it is!
jk play whatever you want. The chances of it actually mattering if you have to ask is very low.
if it makes you happy. Thatās the best spec to play.
Sometimes, I like to put on an asmr video and play sin in raid. Ten minutes of that and I sleep like a baby.
yeah sin feels like the polar opposite of sub... i think they kinda nailed the "feeling" of the two specs
assa shouldnāt be an envenom simulator in raid
Play sub, do big burst damage 
idk i haven't played since legion so maybe i'm just happy to play wow right now lol
sub plays great in raid
i really enjoy sub
the only thing remotely right with sub is itās doing burst windows. The dance windows are over complicated because of danse / CDR and aoe is trash.
we donāt need blade flurry.
but itās fun for some so yay!
Iād like BP to play a bigger role too
yeah idk.. i just press backstab first thing after dance and then use shadowstrikes, not thinking much about danse
Just wait til you add storm next patch
Itās not the thinking. Itās convoluted for no good reason.
That was always my thought about sub
i kinda like that it feels like there's always something you can do to improve.
I played ret a little bit in cata classic and felt like i had mastered the spec after 15 mins at training dummy
You would need an actual active dev for them to do something.
we donāt have that here
i like current sub a lot but it has a couple rough edges on aoe
like its entire aoe
thx for info guys. So is sub getting a lil better in 11.2?
ye, aoe needs work
Itās the same with added storm to ST rotation.
nf bugs dont help it either
more than s2 set
bc you can high roll and get coup back immediately with 2 builders
it's my first time playing rogue, soooooorryy
Idrc about adding storm/toss tbh
Itās dumb and just shows the issues with tier/hero
wait we're gonna put shuriken toss into our rotation next season?
Toss or Storm
is storm part of the rotation atm? like we use backstab -> SecTec -> storm -> shadowstrike if under 6 CP, or else evis
not in st generally
okok gotcha
but because it doesn't proc unseen blade it'll be used next season to build cp between coup and 2nd coup
to avoid wasting stacks
potential stacks*
What if for sub deathstalkers mark buffed evisc OR blackpowder? The mark doesn't help sub for aoe currently like assass gets does for caustic.
inc DN BP thursday
aah because melee hits has a chance to remove the hidden cooldown right?
between thousand cuts resets and guaranteed from disorienting strikes
the 4pc gives you the 2nd coup by adding a 5sec duration buff that's just 4 stacks of escalating blade so you can't accrue them while that buff is up
so to build combo points between that first coup and 2nd you could waste stacks by casting bs or strike
Able to type that with a clear conscious saying it doesnāt bother you? 
not really, its a builder
builder x, y, z
outside dance idc
inside dance there's usually enough shadowcraft stacks where it doesn't really matter
and during blades first coup often refunds for second
is it ideal? no. is it the end of the world? no
ok so really gotta start keeping track of coup
This is the darkest timeline
people said the same thing about rupture last season
And now we have both
except it was a total wash with the final set tuning
They were pissed, rightfully so. Set got nuked so nothing mattered. Everyone basically went back to assa.

but sub was the raid spec for 2 weeks tho

maybe we get three weeks for s3
i still smell the tier set krangle

what if blizz adds storm and toss to ub just because we are not supposed to not waste stacks 
ahaha that would be cool
you mean that would ruin our day and be a mean move 
would help more on aoe than bother us in st
Thank you
Idk, I'm with Haptics
The small optimisations don't bother me much. Eventually, they become second nature. And if you're not super comfortable with sub already, you could or maybe should just not bother and accept losing 1.5% of your potential peak..
more people will mess up other things
i havent tested this week but macro was working very well for me
Did the activation feel improved to you?
i didnt really notice that
!wa
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
You know what, just for more chaos, just purge what we got and go back to hemo spamming in classic
is the best roulette wheel for sub mast > vers or vers > mast
Vers mast
guys quick can i cloak off frostshatter boots in mugzee
i havent raided in like 3 months and got called in to sit for someone
i am not soaking anything because im toos tupid or something
and also because im standing in xd
ratsquad wanting the alts in on cauldron pushed our kill time back to the perfect one 
truly blessed
lock in
theres a reason i have played that boss like twice since prog
lmfao
i get to enjoy the blessing and curses of rat squad this week
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
good luck, this is my last raid week of the tier
I was the rat last week 
didnt grind the alt to 680 before going in? smh
I didnt even craft a weapon
tell me your secrets then š
highroll
tfd on top

every boss
are you only ever doing 1 dance out of blades
and then triple dancing every blades
like overcapping dance
i guess depending on timings
triple dance opener, dance with cold blood always unless you're lining up with adds, then either symbols/sectec after flag or dance with that if its up
idk
i make no claim that it is better than just sending on cd
but it is what i like better
okay next question while i do this fight can i cloak the blue circles during the charge part
so i dont get stunned
vanish opener with predisorient seems to be going well this reclear 
also seems to get the glorious lineup on oab opener where your cb sectec cleaves the assistant floating over the boss
Surely they buff prism this week right
I do not want to be in the position of wanting prism for long fights and the 2 min one for shorter ones
we arent actually holding blades for forge, right?
Nop
Just pretending its 3 min
(unless the fight is like 2:30 or 4:30 exactly)
The issue lies moreso in the fact that everybody else is gonna want the 2 minute one too
hopefully
it sounds like no one is particularly thrilled about prism so I'm hopeful they look at it
i mean if it isnt bis for sub who could it be bis for
since ww and unholy really like haste
might just end up a middle of the road trinket, depending on how hard they nerf idol
ye idk conceptually its cool but starting with nothing on pull is pretty bleh
and like eleem has said the stacking being 2:30 is butt
rate this opener @chrome palm
cold blood kidney šÆ
cold blood kidney goes HARD af
at first i was like "cold blood strike we've all been there"
the misclick actually irl stunned me so hard i walked into a mine and died immediately
its time to wipe the raid after this opener chief
like actually instantly
(assuming they nerf cursed stone idol) Its definitely bis for sub, just not if the fights are ~5 minutes or shorter
Which isnt many progress fights, but still quite a long time
with the damage amps that definitely makes it seem like itll be stronger
Unless the amps are every 2 minutes ye
im just trying to think of what other classes would like it
how strong is it for 2min classes
Frost dk, warriors, mm hunter
with more time to stack
Most things that arent 2 min
surely mm goes for the crit trinket
at least i dont have to use a transmitter until mid sprocket prog
couldnt possibly be worse than that
I finally stopped reflex-jumping with flag a week ago
You mean the cursed idol from halls?
hot swap the mastery and agi on lily
That one is gonna tank like a 35% nerf to its on-use or some shit
All of my talk about trinkets is assuming that one gets gutted
Otherwise we just use that one
But channels are cringe, and id rather use a fun trinket like prism
idek if you can get idol on ptr atm
forge looks hilarious
!log
yo is this the new meta
does CB make kidney last 16 seconds?
SHEEESH
happens
Who was that?
he's a vdh
PLUS i just helped some friends push up their 19 top and it turned into a 20 ml
oh that was the tank in my dfc
which was massive and i almost got to run it
but their whole team got on
i give up
Why'd he get banned?
it's over
no idea
jbugchaos or neondh in your nightmare push grup
thats quite the powerful move
ty we 0.9% wiped probably because of this int
Had to be done
i kidnapped a shaman and did the cb thing. just checking, you hold sec tech in blades if it comes up before cb?
if you have to hold globals you screwed up
hm
i was hitting cb exactly when it came up out of blades
ya because of sht stacking and having coup ready and whatnot you can get screwed even if you press it the ms its up
the safe timer for cold blood for when you can press flag is 12 seconds, or 11 if you have a good amount of sht prepped
back before i was shtmaxxing 13s would lead to sectec coming up before cb fairly often
12s was always safe, then sht means its sometimes 11
if you use 14 ur gonna get griefed
nah
remember most of the time you do flag rupture
dance stab/strike
then cb comes off cd in second dance 3rd or 4th global at most or even before
also ryldd
my sectec is usually my 2nd global of 2nd dance
i saw what you did to that dk on sprocket
almost every time
murderer
i murdered him and my gm (hpal)
lmfao
so based
there was an oopsie with walking into the knockup thing
unfortunately flagging at 3mins is a dangerous game
sometimes lives are lost
other, less important, lives
so real
its a sacrifice i am willing to make
oh š¦
sad days
yeah i'm legit about to stop pushing tbh
it's been going real bad for me recently
bruv not like this
yeah

it's been seriously rough going
can't push up my key
whenever i do it turns into non dfc/ml
and no invites to 20s ever
š¦
but enough complaining
haha no sweat
playing with me i'll test your patience and will to live
haha nah i want this to be my last season no matter what
i'll only come back if guildies want to dabble in high keys
why did wcl merge eviscerate and cdg btw
i kind of liked them separate
much more math to look at average cast of cdg and crit rate and such now :/
just open the drop down?
yea but then you're looking at the 6 components of it
instead of the spell as a whole
You're freeing yourself
if i want to look at what % of a breakdown coup was now, I have to add all these (or subtract eviscerate itself). its not a big deal just a little annoying
coup de grace
Casual m+ gaming is chill times
just like me frfr, after season 3 df
ill only every do high push
m+ is like doing crack
when sub is actually good
you cant ever last long
that's the exact season i decided to initially retire from M+ too!
but i got talked into coming back by my guildie who's never gotten title
he's title caliber, but he has a big issue with burn out
he'll go super hard for the first half of the season and then want nothing to do with the game after
we actually made a 4 stack group
3 guildies and 1 friend
but it dissolved a month or so ago
the issue is also at the level we play at
you need more than 1-2 nights a week
i've always been the kind of player that either doesn't make or barely makes title, so for that kind of level you have to play so much more than the really good players like yourself
tbf resil might have made it more difficult to do this way
resil did a crazy amount of key inflation i feel
last season we got close and just spammed +2s at our leisure until we had 5 of the same io key, got our score, and logged out for the week
was incredibly chill
and now you auto get a random key and can't do the shift loot thing anymore 
701 is final ilvl?
right now yeah
Hell yeah I don't have to do it before raid tonight
In keys does sub have better prio dmg than sin?
i feel like im melting prio targets
649 in a theater is this good, no idea what dmg numbers look like nowadays
2nd key this tier
if the question has anything to do with is sub better than
the answer is no

Only in terms of prio dmg I mean
still no
singular focus exists
more burst yea
but if the mob is dying in 10 seconds it really doesnt matter, in the grand scheme of things, sin will do more priority dmg especially the higher the target count goes
giga
sub can have good prio if you spam evis into your target
but then you're hard capping yourself
and sin does better prio while doing full aoe at the same time
if you want prio as sub you play DS
but then you need to call the suicide hotline after
DS sub /puke
If nimble works with stuff like blades etc we could argue more about prio
But until then it is like prophet says: you are capping yourself
What does ur breakdown look like
Would sub be broken OP if Blades and Flag were a 1min cd instead?
no cause then they would be nerfed accordingly
Ik it's impossible to come up with a definitive number but like, how insane-o OP?
if no other tuning was done yeah sub would be pretty bonkers
Assuming no tuning
given sub does most of it's damage in cds
and you reduce sub's cds by 1/3rd
that's massive
42
haha
galaxybrain worked that out in 0.5gargillion picosecond
funnily enough flag used to essentially be on a ~1 min cd
because of the leggo during SL
iirc flag worked out to 1 min 10 secs with the leggo cdr
and the initial lash damage flag did also did actual damage, which was kinda cool because it gave us a bit more prio

45 sec flag
we'd have similar minigame like arcane mages
yeah flag would become a nothing cd
and then sub basically starts becoming more like outlaw š
if you wanted to do something with cds
it would be to remove shadowblades
and just bake it into shadow dance
i'm also a massive fan of that idea
one "issue" would be half the sub tree would have to be reworked to account for dance generating full cps with blades
i imagine
and i dunno if the devs would be willing to do that much work
could just do smth like
"during dance your mastery scaling is increased by 70%"
then u basically got flag
they should already rework half the tree lmao
this could be wild, how about put the mastery part of flag into dance
and keep flag as just the lash damage
increase it's dmg
nah
so it becomes a prio dmg spell
sub needs less cds
fair enough
for the more casual playerbase
or how about have flag be a passive talent
but we have one button rotta now for casuals
that adds lash dmg to dance
So, I'm brand new to sub, would anyone mind having a lil look at a log of mine? š
maybe lashes initially when you press dance, then generates more lashes per finisher used
eh just make evis stronger then xD
dont need other sources of dmg
haha true true
when i say casuals i dont mean open world content only enjoyers
i mean HC/Normal raiders
tjen remove find weakness too
that would be rad
Can we just start with making dance the actual CD and get rid of the WW monk bullshit builder rotation?
make rupture shadow, name it nightblade and change icon
rupture is already shadow with a talent unfortunately
rework dark brew then
Remove danse as a damn talent. Just delete it. Open up dark brew and fix rotten.
pretty sure they fixed rotten on ptr
yep
rotten is whatever. Goremaw should be an easy talent to tweak to actually be an option
Goremaw
Fuck me caffine where are you
lets go back to the brainstorming
the sad part is we brainstorm a lot in here and nothing ever gets done š
because we aren't the devs
unfortunately
fix base spec CDR. Adjust nimble CDR to compensate. Fix DS / BP.
serviceable until 12
we brainstorm knowing very well we will get nothing
Itās just a coping mechanism.
maybe bug fixed drop mid season like last time
what did they fix
oh thats cool
one bug fix for every major patch
sub should be good at the end of the world soul saga 
Weāre up to 2. Apparently TFD was improved / canāt do any of the storm vanish
we are feasting 
we're the ultimate copers
The discussion is healthy. Just need to be aware itās a tale as old as time.
ran sub on mugzee last night. We going great until range got slammed by bombs. BDK ended up soloing the last 20 seconds. Hahah
what we need is for them to do what League of Legends did: They made a study-group of the WORST/Lowest Ranked players of a specific champion (Morgana), studied them and quizzed them and asked them what THEY wanted added/removed from that champ
And they listened 100% to them, and did everything they suggested.
are you suggesting they take the advice of lfr heroes to fix sub
yes
because that would end in utter disaster
absolutely!
yeah but SURELY they're a good sample to know what is/isn't good for their spec right guys?
Right..?
hahaaaa
it would be bad
given they probably don't know what half the spells even do
i doubt those guys know what half their tslents do
TL:DR they made her go from a possibly really interesting champ to an absolute dogshit waste of a pick for your team
ohhhhhh ok i see what you did there
GOD I wish game devs listened to devout players of their specs
Yeah all the low-shitters they asked for champion changes asked for all her ACTUAL mechanics to be removed
I believe they said "I don't want to auto-attack, it's too difficult" so they removed a part of her kit that involved doing arguably the most basic thing in League

lol that's actually hilarious
And this comes DIRECTLY from the Riot employee who oversaw it
And he said this proudly
They balance the game around the top tiers of play but REFUSE to consult OTPs about changes that would actually make their champion better/more fun
Imagine asking iron morgana otps what they want morgana to do
That is literally exactly it
She was going to have an auto attack passive that changed as u channeled abilities
But Billy in Bronze 1 said it was too hard
he just wants to throw Q-W
this is part of the problem with blizz taking most of their feedback from the wow forums
is that you have absolute buffoons suggesting stuff
Exactly my point
i've gone through a bunch of profiles from horrible takes on there
and it's people who essentially do nothing in game
How obviously NOT monitored are the class discords.
they have a few 2s timed and like 3 lfr bosses killed
You have ppl in them that could write a PHD on why their class is good/bad and can back it up with hours of playtime and sims and maths
That's a huge portion of a devs job essentially done by someone for FREE out of passion
yeah it was quite a magical time to have realz in here regularly during the big DF rework
still sad they ran out of time or decided to allocate resources elsewhere
every
time
but some good changes were made
at least blades is not as clown as before
I'd argue that you probably shouldn't necessarily take input from high level otps only
Because they don't pay your bills 
if they could have kept up that level of upkeep on sub we'd be playing a banger spec right now
You realize one important part of the equation is a bold assumption on your end. That the devs actually want any more of guidance on the actual spec design. The design is their baby for lack of a better word. If itās successful has way different values associated with it based on what part of the player base you talk to.
š
š šāāļø
It's not about ONLY taking input from OTPs
wait a second i think i figured out who you are on the wow forums
well sometimes you just feel bad about some things
God no, I ain't US
like making subterfuge and things work with sepsis or for ass and outlaw
but if you ask as sub
oh ok
Maybe they should take input from Lashga, he's #1 sub rogue after all
there's a rogue in the wow forums who signs every post of his with those 2 people surfing haha
but iirc he's a pvp player
šµļøāāļø
Yeah, and he has dumb takes so I was making the joke
lol
He said sub is an energy pooling spec before
Well it is
he's very argumentative
You're pooling energy for four seconds before you can backstab 
he's literally in there arguing with everyone about everything rogue related
i love that emote so much
Okay real
need to find the dev that did the SV to melee rework and it literally goes over they donāt care about the feedback on reworks until they actually ask for it.
Actually based
That video sums up class design to the letter
At least they were honest
my thought is why not take feedback from the TCs in here
itās like any other design project. Artist trying to satisfy the assigned task. Weāre just in their sandbox. Ion is the client. Not us.
The issue is that people want a lot of different things for sub
They have before and that was how we ended up with backstab being important.
that's very true
Yes, that is true but I doubt the "different things" include fixing bugs or massive holes in the specs. No one is here arguing that PV is good or essential
Like a lot of people here like big burst and backstab soup
But a lot of people hate not doing damage outside cds
he wishes he was that cool

if some of the older purples played the game in here, my guess is most would say this version is ass
And ye you could say "then why are you playing sub?" but there has been points in time where sub didnt do 70% of its damage during its big cooldowns 
i mean times do change i know it will never become what it was short term burst
mystler and his love of the double ring build.
which was the exact opposite of what most loved with dfa
Thereās a name I havenāt heard in ages
hole
Flag being 24 is silly tbf
flag existing is silly tbf
When blades and 2x dances at 16
just need 1 90 second
still salty they made blades 16 y
they literally said ok 3 mins to 2
reduce it by 33% or 25% idk
my job here is done
see ya
Just delete flag and bump up the % on blades 
300% mastery
Remove flag, bit more cdr on sd, and stronger sd
flag and blades could be wone cd
a lot of spells don't need a target requirement that have
there is a lot of things you could do to improve things
also doing no damage outside of cd's is a bit mood
To do bug dmg on cds, u need to do less out of them
because it is not a concept thats always applied correctly
damage outside would feel better just adjusting energy costs or regen on builders.
e.g. assassiantion does a lot of aoe damage outside of cd's besides having still a burst centric gameplay
people wouldn't mind subtleties cd's if most of the power was shifted in the shorter cds like secret
having so much of your damage on your CDs makes it harder to work on fights where the CDs misalign with when you need damage
especially in aoe
It makes it easier
you have control of when you send CDs
you can also add options for flexibility
we are already decently flexible with multiple charges of symbols/dance
flexibility really isnāt the issue.
People donāt want to feel like theyāre casting once every 3 seconds.
on a 1 sec fixed gcd spec
i mean thats just energy
you do have control, but you also don't want to delay too long or you lose casts
energy as a concept does not work anymore
storm costing 45 is a crime
thatās the flexibility of the spec. You can send a dance and hold the 90s
You can send a dry SoD
Itās like mana for casters, doesnāt really exist outside one spec
there is a certain irony to it because it was a suggestion one person in this discord made
the devs liked
you also have to hold your flexible cds to align properly with big cds
thatās the decision making that should be involved. Not how many different ways can I get danse stacks in my cds.
and i dissliked ^^
How much did it cost before?
no one can
35
what was the storm cost meant to solve?
what was the reasoning for the increase?
yea, being energy starved out of cds is really frustrating. maybe they can just change from shuriken storm to shuriken combo
The solution to avoid
Was high energy cost
because the dev wanted the spec to feel slow outside of cooldowns
Kekw
and one person in here did say "but we are still fast in aoe, so i think it would be way better to increase storm cost"
Certainly achieved that
....
and dev was like "what a brilliant idea, shipped"
That maniac
all you do out of cds, is farm cdr
i transcribe it, but that was essentially the gist of it
whats the issue on being fast on aoe if you hit like a noodle, just allow us to get cdr going
Hey dev I have an idea!!! Get rid of energy refunds
please tell me you banned that person
that person isnt at fault tho
haha, no
i think, even tho it was not stated
we all make a lot of brainstorming here, wouldnt be our fault if devs listened to the worst ones
there was also the idea
to make aoe on sin and sub feel diffrent
because both could spam in aoe
thank fuck lasga isnt around anymore then
it felt to me like it
and they did assa aoe turbo good and sub aoe non existent
so the solution is "make sub not play in aoe"
very well spaced imo

target achieved
Since weāre the finisher spec, I always thought it would be cool if rupture comboād with evisc or BP
Or had an additional effect when you used either on a target with rupture up
one of the biggest complaints i hear from people trying to pick up sub is not liking the downtime outside cds
and being energy starved
When I first started playing sub (literally start of tww) I did not know what to do with myself outside of CD's, I assumed spamming SD and SoD until Blades and Flag were back up was the play
yeah the spec is wildly unintuitive
you could give me a million years and i wouldn't think of the correct rotation for sub haha
It just felt like the thing to do, every other spec is kinda like that. When your big CDs are over you manage your resources and other small things until you can combo again which feels fine but with sub you acidentally press one wrong SoD or SD and suddenly your next lineup is fucked
yep, holding your "flexible" cds for big cds is unintuitive af
When i started playing sub it felt ass to have sod and sd and not use them for 30 seconds
And I do agree, sub is the most fun I've had on a DPS in a long time, I still really enjoy frost Dk and spriest but
Sub feels really rewarding
Itās the most rewarding in the game imo
The sectech dopamine hits me hard
Most rewarding dps maybe
See it crit for 10+ mil and just
Most rewarding thing overall is healer imo, nothing beats pulling off what should've been a wipe in a high key bcus you managed your CDs perfectly/knew exactly what to do outside of them
LMAO big true, but at least we don't have to restealth
tbf if played right, neither does the other 2 specs
I love when my tank apologizes for pulling bad and I go "it's k, me sub" 
I mean fair lol
I just put āpull bigā in chat every 1:30 lol
Lol
assa requires non griefing tanks for that but ye
we just refer to that as bad tanking
when a tank chains 4 mobs at 30% hp allowing you to go full ham at the next psck
Iām spoiled bc the tank I play with usually used to play rogue so he knows the game
t fills mr with joy
my tank never does it
and he has been playing with me for over 5 years
duality of man
haha
all he hears is a loud audible sigh
Well stealthi, you should hit your friend with your claws
then he goes "im sorry"
bro knows how you perform with his current tanking style and is fine with it
and i go
start underperforming
"no you are not"
I just play sub 
does 5 years of audible sigh mean nothing to him? would break my heart
Ew
Lol
Fair enough
We gkicked one of ours lol
(no flame)
this ret is prolly one of the best rets in the game lol
the amount of dmg that freak did
If he used BoP once heās in the 99.99th percentile already
thats what happens when your spec is simple tho, you can really iron out so much clunk
(you ought to be able to atleast)
my guildie ret does a bazillion dmg and uses every single piece of utility he has
sad he gets 0 invites and gets burned
the best dps player ive played with in the game or tied with 1 other person
i raided with him for 3 years
when i was raidleading in nyalotha goddamn we had 3 rets or smth in our mythic team and they were moronically good
my ret guildie is 2nd best for me, 1st being casualaddict on his shaman carrying the fuck out of me in s1
and im usually very
not nice
when it comes to if i think people are good or not
he was the type of person you would be lucky to have in your raid team
you can be afforded that when you are A. very good yourself or B. Extremely experienced as an analyst
he grinds like a mfer, does all the prep in the world for the raid
he did our prep work for gallywix this tier
we banged that mfer out in 43 pulls
due to his prep
blessed to have him then
sucks that he quit when we disbanded after gally died
gm stepped down
Ah the classic
nobody wanted to pick up the mantle
It's not easy to guidlead
gm, RL and tank
and finding a guild at wr 50 ish level
where you can one trick ret
is not an easy task
i think they consider having diffrences in design between specs
e.g. you see it with cooldown timings
90 sec on sub while it was initially 120 sec
its just a theory tho, maybe its coincidence
yeah but sub doesnt need a rework
but it wont happen this patch at least
sub just needs bug fixes
I've got a friend in a hof guild who is an absolute BLASTER when it comes to healers but he has a job, so only has 2 specs REALLY geared and 1 spec decently and the rest of the healer team are Saudi oilers who have every healing spec at max ilvl lol
i think so many things in the game need to get worked on
i know the thing where "you cant just add devs and solve the problem"
but like....
maybe they could try
keep in mind that they are very much a american company and profit oriented
we should do the DK thing and start a protest
if anything i would say this xpac has shown the opposite of hireing to be the case
surely there's enough of us for them to notice
you mean the shaman on alpha and beta thing
idk what to tell you fuu, shamans got nothing on alpha, they went absolutrly nuts and they got worked on, its not the best tool and its not the best thing to do either tho
stay small incident
chances are that the changes was already planned just not ready for early alpha
we will never know
i dont think they said "shit shamans are rioting lets do something"
What would be our version of #gripisnotaraidbuff anyhow
if they actually listened to community outrage
parry wouldve been removed from the game
thats a spiral, no work done, so players leave, so less players, so not worked on etc
Or let them actually work on the classes and not get pulled putting out fires with poorly planned deadlines. My gut says they donāt get the time they actually need.
i agree
adding more to poor planning can make matters worse
but imagine if they had
one dev
per class
instead of one dev
per multiple classes
thatās what it should be
they also need someone keeping those class devs on task
Nah, should be one dev per spec-type.
weāre back in SL dev cycle is what it feels like.
i do think they pull class devs off duty to work on other things
One for healer, one for tank and one for DPS
DPS players dont know how to balance tanks
wouldnt use the word balance for this, its more so they need to design shit
balance is more a numbers thing
what i hate the most is the bscklash developers get for doing or not doing x, making them have 0 communicstion
yknow what I mean though
I wouldn't want a healer druid OTP who's the druid dev designing/working on how I play feral
thats what happens when you have people that cronically online and dont know how to behave like a normal person
itās not about balance
ye, basicaly
Reworded
thats why you have community feedback
would like for realz to be more talkative around here but i also get why he doesnt
I donāt expect my UI designer to sit there and back end code like a dev who only codes. Make cool shit conceptually and see what actually works.
Yeah but the problem is: that's wasted time, and that's money at these companies. Why get someone who's going to make poor dev decision make two changes when you could just get someone who knows the spec/role to do it in a single change
dont think it bothers him when outlaw people throw a fit over changes ngl
id wager its more so a decision from the heigher ups
Zac will be heartbroken
well zac is more relaxed now
weāve probably put more time into coming up with reasons why things are failing then theyāve actually had time to work on sub. 
i think it would bother him to go to x discord channel, say somrthing and then have people telling him they could do better snd why isnt he working on x or y
i doubt he has the freedom to work on whatever he wants to do work on
its presentation. Why am I spending my free time to listen to people bitch and moan when he isnāt going to tell us any of whatās going on behind the scenes
he grew up on wow
i really doubt
it gets to him
xD
mans used to play pvp professionally
oh lol
Oh how the great fall
didnt know that
i don't think one specific thing is bad, its just the sum of many annoying things
yeah it was good
#givesubaoe
heās for all we know a good dude. We can be upset at any number of targets. Shit rolls down the hill, not up. Blizzard is the problem.
keep paying for a subscription. Youāre enabling the problem.
jokes on you, i havent paid for a subscription in 4 years
dw you will get that next patch when we stop playing Coldblood in dungeons
Yeah we payin with gold these days
and go Thistle tea
will we?
You still are with sales
You kappin rn
Iām going to have to update the KPB why isnāt it working macro meme 
If we are going thistle what're we losing for it?
yeh, cb is loosing value due to Sectech actually being softcapped to 5 and not 8
and then we can rejoice in accidentally going below 30 energy and proccing tea outside dance
cold blood
MMMM
BP-evis-coup etc
one talent isn't enough to get to tea
also less energy starved out of cds
ngl sub feels infinitely better to play with vigor talented
Ah so CB and Lethality?
will it be the play, or is it a maybe?
How? Youāre using it in CDs
vigor
wait so you do this instead?
it balances itself out if you get more crit, i did sims during DF
yeh
yes
should be the same
It doesnt actually matter that much
that... kinda makes sense?
Still low energy 
yeah but i do like the idea of vigor
Both tea and cold blood kinda suck ass
you will also get it procced out of cds
would we be playing tea in pure ST too
you donāt want that
yeah it has a passive attached to it that auto-consumes
No
just don't proc tea 
damn
you will proc it
just afk out of cds
wont get away from that
People will overthink and complain about it just like they do on assa
When they proc their tea
i have to admit the feeling of being outside cds as sub w/ tea talented and being able to storm>finish without delays
does feel nice
if i could wish for small changes i would like for them to revert the energy reg nerf that came with the rework and more dance cdr
i got used to just ignoring tea
i would be happy then, its fun either way
feeling restored. Weāre so back. Also why is assa doing 1 million more than us overall? 
Crazy how they haven't changed tea to either manual use or auto use.
Is any other ability both like tea is?
oh wait. Weāre not good in aoe because of funnel dmg. 
Eh, I dont mind tea being set and forget sorta
Name checks out
You mean a choice node like other classes have for some abilities?
Do we even have 1 choice node?
Just macro tea to dance and dont think about it 
Spriest Shadowcrash/Elesham Earthquake type beat
We as in rog or sub?
master of shadows and the 1st dance
and the crit/haste on sod
lol so true
Night terrors
And the vanish shield ones

A couple of choice nodes, but the alternatives are not real alternatives so
wym warning signs goated
Bruh
tea could have had 2 brews as a choice node. One more energy (auto use) less mastery. The on use more mastery, less energy.
warning signs a truly genius idea
to give the spec that hates haste a talent to give haste
leech in stealth
deserves a nobel prize
+1 we did that before already
Ye but not everybody was here back then
good point

it seems quite okay to just buff the first coup?
The second would generally be better, but yes its not the end of the world
Not working with shadowed finisher is expected, but sad to see
you cannot guarentee the cp and buff status for the 2nd coup in many scenarios
Its moreso the fact that the tooltip says the wrong thing about first vs second coup that feels off
second coup is too often outside dance anyway 

Im not sure the extra coup damage is sticking around anyway, its likely to get nerfed for sub
i have friends i swear
why? cant be that op
it does quite the fcking hit
well whats likely gonna happen is the same as this tier
tierset nerfed
baseline buffed
dont think they wanna have tiersets at 40% dmg
i think the first coup 50% is okay for its worth. we're not any place ahead, right?
big shadowstrike energy
I'd take a 15% shadowstrike buff
bp added to darkest night and buffed by 25%
Tbf its only 30%, but ye 
I dont mind any tier nerf as long as arcane gets the hammer
jealousy isnāt pretty
they're fuckin swimming in intuition procs rn
first dance fixed tho
Rogue fix and patch simply no need to be written since they're done stealthly
their tier sets are kind of a mess rn so its valid lol
im quite suprised it wasnt a outlaw only thing from the get go
Ye
sorry bro i didnt see ur msg
sec tech nimble flurry the usual
What trinkets are outlaw looking at
Legit no idea
Everything seems bad for outlaw
I think we are likely to play with a on use stats trinket again
Whichever is stronger r
Just cause on hit trinkets are a bit meh
Ye thats why i asked 
Idk didn't find anything that seemed incredible
I have been playing prism
And Crit from floodgate

Idk xd
Prims damage hit proc is already worth probably
In dungeons
Im hoping prism gets buffed because right now it seems like for sub we'd prefer to play the 2 minute one for fights that are like 5 minute or shorter and prism for everything else
Cap the stack at 18 or 20 instead of 15 so we can skip a CD set and double it and give it to the next set 
yea having to use prism weirdly is so sad
like using it at like 3 stacks to not overcap at 3 mins
or 4 i dont remember
give sub omega banger 3 min trinket pls
