#

i'm genuinely curious how many devs play the game

#

and what level content they do

alpine wraith
#

think devs should try to lvl one and see how fun and exiting it is too

lilac stag
#

they have 4x down on the SV rework and range SV was one of the most popular specs in the game

alpine wraith
#

they dont know what to do with aug too

#

so they just made it suck a lot

lilac stag
#

they flip flop holy pali 2-3 times a season

#

Spriest gets a rework every 5 months

alpine wraith
#

disc does shields then not then it has best cds in the game

leaden prairie
#

ok but they are working on the spell rn tho

alpine wraith
#

then it does not then holy is good

leaden prairie
#

its not like it was something that they werent currently actively working on

#

thats why it confuses me

alpine wraith
#

yea i mean the guy i fired the other day because he sucked was also working on things

lilac stag
#

not the right things

#

But still things

lilac stag
#

leech in stealth as a talent is all you need to know about quality of rogue development

leaden prairie
#

Like I can understand when it's something like, yo guys I think this thing has been kinda unfun for a while can we get it fixed, and maybe they never get to it

#

But they are currently working on ks, they changed it so it doesn't do off hand attacks anymore

lilac stag
#

Look how long RS took to get fixed.

leaden prairie
#

Which genuinely must have cost a shit ton of dev time

#

For litteraly nothing

#

No one cares

#

But it's most consistent I guess cause it's a gun now

#

They buffed the damage numerous time

#

Maybe as an attempt so that we don't cancel it early

#

Which I hope they never managed to do

#

Cause it feels better to cancel it early

#

But ye idk

slate marlin
#

i rly doubt this mondays little patch notes was the only ones for the week

leaden prairie
#

They are probably going to touch up the spell again next week, and if they don't lower the channel time idk, I will be at a loss of words

slate marlin
#

theres still a shit ton if tuning pending, class and trinkets

alpine wraith
#

it is even more tragic as outlaw because you are not doing finishers or other builders

#

you just used some cp on this thing

#

and just stay there 5 secs

#

the dmg is fine if they keep buffing it but like DS as sub

tepid trellis
alpine wraith
#

when it was better on st

#

just a ball of stats and passives

#

that no one cares about

#

i mean sure eventually deathstalkers mark is omegatrucking but still

#

DN is quite tragic as sub

#

even more with new tier you have to be even more aware

runic trail
alpine wraith
#

trickster works well but also has like 3 diff buggs with coup and disorienting and flurry

#

like in 1 expansion they have managed to introduce 10 bugs as if we didnt have enough of them

#

at least they did fix some just deleting the talents

leaden prairie
#

like i imagined myself running around mobs gunning them fast

alpine wraith
#

tbh a 3 sec channel affected by haste maybe

leaden prairie
#

and instead we have a slow ass channel

lilac stag
#

this could be “hey we listened to you” for adding “takes feedback and addresses it” in IDP review.

If they put a 2 sec cast time on it and everyone complained where do they go. So they make it awful and then turn it into 2 seconds. 4D peophammer

leaden prairie
#

you are slowed ? why

#

eeeh

alpine wraith
#

so you can get it to like 1.x

#

also yea slowed LUL

lilac stag
#

killing spree should mount you on a jeep turrent

rapid forum
#

Man I just wanted my edgy reaper ult

#

Why does it have to be weird cone with random targets (???) at least make it hit all in cone

tribal blade
#

i think the best part about this whole thing is you could in a perfect world just skip taking KS

#

but you. can't

#

because trickster forces you to take it

#

smile

rapid forum
#

Well the concept is cool

#

But hope they iterate next week copium

lilac stag
rapid forum
#

Surely they will not focus on the one button rotation for pre delve setup right

#

Sureeeely

tribal blade
#

wait doesn't fatebound force you to take CB

#

lol

#

amazing

leaden prairie
#

no it doesnt

latent finch
leaden prairie
#

you dont play that talent its bad

tribal blade
#

oh ok

leaden prairie
#

also they buffed ks so much you play it with fatebound

#

sooo

tribal blade
#

tragic

rapid forum
#

And fatenoind plays ks anyway

#

Ye what Zac said

lilac stag
rapid forum
#

Schrödingers Killing Spree

tribal blade
#

blizz really likes doubling down

#

on things they really shouldn't be doubling down on

rapid forum
#

Triple down

lilac stag
tribal blade
lilac stag
#

KS no longer affected by haste.
Mastery now affects KS channel

rapid forum
#

Omg

#

Demon

#

Delete that now

tribal blade
#

i still remember the precise moment they nuked combat's mastery because it was "too strong"

#

and then it got rolled over into when they made outlaw

rapid forum
#

What was combats mastery back then

tribal blade
#

the % chance for main gauche to hit was increased by mastery

#

so if you had more mastery it had a higher % chance to hit

rapid forum
#

Ohhhh

tribal blade
#

in pvp you would stack full mastery

rapid forum
#

Ye I always wondered why it only buffs dam and not chance to procc

tribal blade
#

and then you would go into red buff (big dmg amp)>kidney your target>pop killing spree>BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM a billion mastery procs>dead target

lilac stag
#

I still have fond memories of green buff yellow buff red buff

rapid forum
#

And extra proccs also procced atk stuff I assume (flourish/poisons etc.)? Like they do now?

lilac stag
#

That will always be peak sword rogue design

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly, it meant more hits and more poisons and all that jazz iirc

alpine wraith
#

KS used to have a hidden 100% dmg amp

#

that worked with gauche

#

and gauche could proc from every hit

#

and you were cc immune

tribal blade
#

it was kinda crazy

alpine wraith
#

yea wod and MoP were crazy times for combat

rapid forum
#

Glory days I assume

tribal blade
#

well combat was braindead back then haha

lilac stag
#

It was just fun

alpine wraith
#

last mop tier set also increased KS dmg

tribal blade
#

seriously nothing going on

alpine wraith
#

so it was even more silly

#

apar from revealing strike + kidney

#

being a 10 sec stun for a while

tribal blade
#

the only thing to play around combat was the buff system it had

alpine wraith
#
  • paralazing poison that didnt share DR
tribal blade
#

iirc it was green>yellow>red buffs

#

red being the highest

leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

basically rogue was omegaop

rapid forum
#

Well I do like current outlaw iteration, super fun to play imo, both ho and kir, but they do be clowning a bit with ks

alpine wraith
#

only BL i guess

tribal blade
#

@alpine wraith do you remember legion ptr shadowstrike

#

and how every strike would port you 25 yards to your target

alpine wraith
#

we had cloak and dagger for a while even in WoD

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

and strike still did tp you for a while in legion

rapid forum
alpine wraith
#

whole 2 first tiers iirc

#

because you could die on krosus

#

from it

tribal blade
#

or something like that

#

trilliax you could get butt beamed too haha

runic trail
tribal blade
#

so you had to be very careful to not leave melee range

alpine wraith
#

yea

lilac stag
#

Imagine if we just focused on lining up dance windows and not worrying about being temo WW with danse

tribal blade
#

and i played the shit outta legion

runic trail
#

The teleport was also annoying

tribal blade
#

i loved legion sub

#

i thought it was awesome

runic trail
tribal blade
#

legion sub was such a good iteration of sub being tricksy

#

slippery af

#

as the spec should be

tribal blade
#

coming up on 10 years

lilac stag
#

tbf any of us around that long put up huge memory blocks of anything prior to BFA and that wall of pain

tribal blade
#

bfa worst expac ever

#

for sub rogues

leaden prairie
rapid forum
#

I can only stick with it cause law so fun to play atm

tribal blade
#

ngl it's weird seeing outlaw stacking that much haste now

#

feels dirty

lilac stag
rapid forum
#

Also doesn't help that there is very limited good jewellery for us

lilac stag
#

but idk. Gearing in general seems like a meme that we hyper focus on for no reason

rapid forum
#

Now the haste fucks sub

#

And sin is never really doable because they hate vers and want big mast

tribal blade
#

agreed yeah

rapid forum
#

Which is complete opposite of law

lilac stag
#

assa doesn’t care about stats

#

Just put on ilvl

rapid forum
#

They do favor mast crit a lot

tribal blade
#

you can actually stack quite a bit of vers as sin and not lose too much dps

lilac stag
#

they don’t care

rapid forum
#

U sure?

lilac stag
#

Literally don’t care

#

Blindside Rng is the important part

rapid forum
#

My sin Sims 600k lower than law and already tried to optimize that

tribal blade
#

i swapped out a lot of mast for vers and lost i think -1% dps

lilac stag
#

assa sims are shit

tribal blade
#

for a bunch more DR

rapid forum
#

Rly?

lilac stag
#

rly rly

rapid forum
#

Hm, mby I should try it again then

lilac stag
#

Be it the way envenom is handled or execute in sims

rapid forum
#

But risk too high of falling asleep during energy drought 😪

lilac stag
#

I think eleem gave up on trying to figure it out

tribal blade
#

zeroess was the one who put me onto that

#

he also stacks a buttload of vers playing sin

#

in keys

lilac stag
#

I have a ring to swap out from sub to assa and that’s it

#

outlaw is kinda the outlier of rogue gearing

#

Between weapons and whatever your haste magic number is

rapid forum
#

Ye I just remember flexing/swapping bei g way easier in SL and DF but the haste adr cap thingy made it so horrible

#

Also crafted gear having drop downs for stats/embellish would be a godsend

bright solstice
alpine wraith
#

i mean sin just kinda works apart from mark BS on DS

rapid forum
#

Top gear true endgame anyway

alpine wraith
#

you can also just make a gearset in advanced

bright solstice
#

nvm not all 3 😭

lilac stag
#

Or what you confusing me with? garf_sit

tribal blade
#

looks like most of the big sin rogues are still stacking the shit outta mastery though

rapid forum
#

It is highest dam afaik

lilac stag
#

I’d just like one of the specs not named assa to not be krangled gameplay

#

seems impossible

tribal blade
#

and taking that small loss

#

i'm gonna sim again and see

short radish
#

tbh assi also has krangled gameplay with deathstalker

#

but you can still do damage if you fuck up

haughty mural
leaden prairie
#

So

#

Considering both other specs also play with legit 0 haste

#

Anytime you get a new item you have to regem and enchant everything to be able to equip it

#

You have to sim both vers and haste flask

#

Idk

#

It's just cringe af

lilac stag
#

Show me a huge variance for 1 item upgrade that requires redoing everything.

#

maybe you get OAB ring so yay. But every other slot upgrade I find big doubt in it forcing you to redo everything.

#

Especially in a 5min patchwerk bubble that doesn’t actually exist in game

leaden prairie
#

I mean you have to reenchant basically everytime yes

#

And when you get a piece with haste

#

It's aids trying to fit it into your gear

#

And it's basically impossible to sim top gear

lilac stag
#

ok

#

if you say so chief

leaden prairie
#

Cause you need to do 2 with haste and vers flask, and you have too many possible combinations

crisp karma
#

outlaw being discussed in sub channel HOLY

lilac stag
#

nah. Delusional importance of stats being discussed.

#

and outlaw apparently needed to buy the super duper rich boi premium raidbots.

leaden prairie
#

I would agree with you generally

#

But it's different for outlaw

lilac stag
#

other haste capped specs don’t seem to have issue.

leaden prairie
#

You get what it does right

#

It lower your GCD

#

And then it's capped

#

At 20

lilac stag
#

Just outlaw

leaden prairie
lilac stag
#

No other specs affects gcd

leaden prairie
#

There is no haste cap lol

#

I mean whatever bro

#

Are you stupid or what

#

Calling me a liar for no reason

#

Why would I lie

lilac stag
#

I asked you to prove it.

#

With what?

leaden prairie
#

I did

#

You just ignored it

lilac stag
#

Trust me bro

leaden prairie

????

#

You ask me something about outlaw

#

I answer

#

Of course trust me bro

#

#

Are you a fucking dumbass

That's crazy

lilac stag
#

I asked you to show me a sim

#

And you go to name calling.

#

Outlaw isn't a spec it's a diagnosis

leaden prairie

When I told you

It's annoying

As outlaw

What so you Guys think about merging flag and Blades but then making the CD shorter and also with some charges Like dance qnd symbols. That would allow us to have some strong burst If WE want but also the Option to stagger the damage.I Like the Idea and in some way CD Management ist one of the Key ideas of SUB. Or am i Missing Something in my reasoning? What do you think about that

hazy breach
#

Careful guys, we might be next, theyll just slap a "haste increases your cooldown reduction for shadow dance upto 20%"

lilac stag
#

You’re also likely taking a weapon away from DH/WW

#

If it drops

lilac stag
tribal blade

which is annoying for outlaw

runic trail
latent finch
#

Haste caps just for the sake to make haste desired is in imo just terrible. Like outlaw got nerfed to have a haste cap and if you reach it its the same then before. Its not "fun" and its proably the most boring solution to the haste problems

hollow plinth
#

it may be <1% dps unless your gear is gigashit but your sim will never try to hold onto more haste than it needs to

lilac stag
void ocean
lilac stag
#

I’m not going to try to play outlaw in raid with my sub gear.

latent finch
hollow plinth
#

i don't agree that just top gearing your optimal setup is tryharding your stats

hazy breach
#

My pick for making haste not useless is having something that converts haste into some other stat at a reduced rate during our cds. But that is definitely more of a bandaid than a fix

tribal blade
lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Ye im aware

#

It is boring

#

Maybe not needing haste is actually more interesting but ye

latent finch
#

You could also just make a talent which gives autoattacks lets say plague dmg a 1000% buff to make haste a good stat just a idea garf_sit

hazy breach
#

Curse and a blessing not caring about BL

tribal blade
#

it's a blessing until blizz decides to put haste buffs in raid fights :)(

#

hi how to get to gloombalde withouit losing main skills or is there way to chose that instead others and what should ii change it for

lilac stag
#

No gloomy gloomblade

hazy breach
#

You still need to be behind the target even with gloomblade

#

If thats your reasoning for wanting it

tribal blade
#

talenting gloomblade is essentially slightly increasing out of dance dmg, which is non existent anyways

there is a macro opener witch recquires part of gloomplade so whats the esentiall similar skill witch can replace gloomy

tribal blade

#

but don't use a macro opener

#

Where did you find this macro opener?

#

I suspect it's either very outdated, or just very bad.

lilac stag

is this some gnomesequencer magic?

mellow adder
lilac stag
#

we don’t do macros here

#

!macros

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.
lilac stag

That’s basically it.

We don't run Tea anymore, do we? Could probably remove that so people don't get confused.

#

i was running the cursed tea build for a while during S3 DF until armin bullied me enough out of it

keen dome
#

haha

#

I've not paid attention to ptr theory but I am curious what we end up dropping to take it for M+. CB and lethality?

tepid trellis
#

Yep

keen dome
#

Makes sense. I assume it's to fuel the coup's or something?

tribal blade
#

sectec being soft capped at 5 instead of 8 makes the difference

#

from what i heard

tepid trellis
#

More coup casts

hazy breach
#

And sectech just doing less damage because tier doesnt buff it

tepid trellis
#

So mastery is goodge

keen dome
#

Makes sense

#

Good to knooooow

tribal blade
#

this is the first tier in a while that doesn't buff sectec directly

hazy breach
#

But ye sectech not being softcapped at 5 instead of 8 is sus

#

Since everything else we do is at 8

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Kinda weird

lilac stag
#

Sectech new fury warrior spell

#

their caps in general are just weird and outdated

keen dome
#

Everything should just be softcapped at, I dunno. 10

#

8, 7, 9.

#

Just softcaps. Like my brain.

lilac stag
#

here’s fury pumping at 4 target. Boomkin not far behind. Then we hit 10 targets. Where did the warrior go?

tribal blade
#

i just spoke with a warr in my guild about it today

mellow adder
tribal blade
#

when i found out that arms needs a conditional WA for execute

#

which is so dumb

wheat edge
leaden prairie
#

@lilac stag i wanna add something, its basically impossible to sim trinkets with haste as main stat since ytou also need to remove an equivalent haste on your gear, and the opposite is also true

swift tinsel
#

and balancing it with sudden death etc

tribal blade
#

with slayer

wheat edge
#

yeah fury also needs the execute weakaura

swift tinsel
#

ye

hazy breach
#

Isnt slayer unplayable in keys

wheat edge
#

need to get the caching sound before u can press it garf

swift tinsel
#

I think I made my own lol

hazy breach
#

Or did they fix that

keen dome
#

It's had a hotfix iirc

#

So I think it's playable but has less burst?

tribal blade
#

slayer for raid, other one for keys

wheat edge
#

I think for arms atleast they play slayer in keys? or atleast next tier they will

tribal blade
#

colossus

swift tinsel
#

I think colo

#

ye

keen dome
#

Yeah, Colossus

wheat edge
#

but for raids u play slayer on both specs

keen dome
#

But you can play Slayer now I think?

swift tinsel
#

iirc slayer was more burst

tribal blade
#

i'm just running slayer in keys on my warr because i don't care haha

swift tinsel
#

aoe*

tribal blade
#

it's just my splits char

#

i don't wanna learn 2 hero trees

swift tinsel
#

slayer is the warrior fantasy for me

#

for dps at least, colossus prot is banger

wheat edge
#

honestly fury warrior has the best designed hero talents imo

#

like mountain thane is so cool

swift tinsel
#

for sure, they def lucked out

wheat edge
#

and slayer (outside of the execute stuff) is also cool with more bladestorms

swift tinsel
#

when I first saw slayer tree I was 95% sure I was gonna play it all xpac

wheat edge
#

but needing a weakaura to tell you when to press like the most signature button is weird

swift tinsel
#

yeah it's been in a weird spot esp for fury for a while

#

condemn kinda fixed that

#

bc its just another builder that isn't raging blow which is annoying for a class that's been the go-to execute

#

and raging blow has basically become wild strike

wheat edge
#

yeah idk I am so hyped for new patch cause I wanna try to play a bunch of stuff

#

wanna try some sub, also gear warrior and DH

swift tinsel
#

I'm playing sub for sure, and having a hard time settling on a main alt

#

fdk obv banger

#

havoc too

wheat edge
#

but at the moment there is so much shit to do just to gear a char that I cba

swift tinsel
#

kinda wanna go surv, maybe lock if I wanna chill in range

wheat edge
#

so I've just been leveling stuff in timewalking (monk/dk) and doing tmog runs on DH while raidlogging assa garf

swift tinsel
#

my alts are my crafting slaves so I've got everything at 80 if I ever feel the desire to play anything lol

wet robin
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

plus it helps keep me up to date on everyone's kits

wheat edge
#

yeah and idk I just enjoy leveling in timewalking kekman

#

like I have leveled 2 extra rogues, a hunter and a mage that legit haven't done anything else after hitting 80

runic trail
#

I just level in chromie time, levelled a hunter up recently just from TBC quests, it was chill

wheat edge
#

or nevemind! I did do heroic ilvl parsing on one of the rogues kekman

runic trail
#

I already had a hunter at 45 but I can't pick up a spec midway through

swift tinsel
#

my ilvl parses usually look good bc I don't gear very aggressively lol

wheat edge
#

(the real numbers)

hazy breach
#

But my troll hitting execute feels great

#

So i just play the spec that presses the most executes BASED

runic trail
#

Another reason to only play troll

swift tinsel
#

mine were decent last tier, kinda coasted

#

ignore oab and mug lol

wheat edge
#

sadly this tier I haven't done a single pull as sub

tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

got gaols in opener like 9/10 pulls lol

#

we're super casual so I don't ever have to spec anything else unless I want to

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

the freedom is awesome

runic trail
#

So i just swap back to sin. Also we were hitting our heads against mugzee so the execute damage helped

runic trail
#

And I'm most comfortable/confident with sin so if in doubt I play that

swift tinsel
#

if we got to mugzee I can almost guarantee it would have killed our guild

I'm sad I couldn't get Gally to 99 but oh well.

swift tinsel
#

I stopped mythic prog the week before we killed rik bc I just was not feeling it

keen dome
#

Curse you, Lockensprocket

swift tinsel
#

and we had a rotating bench so I felt bad taking up a spot if other people wanted to be there

Only heroic, but best season I've ever had

#

Mostly done in pugs too

swift tinsel
#

nice!!

#

even more impressive

#

that'd badass!

keen dome
#

Gally and Locken just elude me.

runic trail
#

I ain't getting numbers I'm happy with with sub at the moment, which leads to the dumb cycle of continuing to not get numbers with it uglyassdog

#

Cos I don't play it

#

As much as I play sin

wheat edge
#

honestly the biggest issue I am having with sub is that my keybinds all feel awkward, cause like the opener on assa with dm->shiv->kb is so smooth when they are all on global, and then 1/2 for dance/symbols feels nice but shadowblades/the backstab u wanna fit in feels so awkward idk where to put them kekman

mousewheel

wheat edge
#

thats for zooming in and out..

keen dome
#

ctrl+mousewheel

carmine portal
#

Bro

#

Why are shift q and control q so far aparr

runic trail
#

Mousewheel down is for jump wdym

wheat edge
#

I rarely use ctrl

keen dome
#

I love it

wheat edge
#

like the top row is just filler stuff

carmine portal
#

I have 4bars, shift ctr alt and no-modifier and ALL my buttons are in line

runic trail
keen dome
#

Oh yeah, of course

#

I always forget that stuff like CS results in rebinding jump

runic trail
#

Its just, my brain defaults to MWD as jump instead of space now

#

I also play with right hand on wasd and that makes hitting space awkward

wheat edge
#

idk maybe I just hit a target dummy for an hour and figure it out

runic trail
carmine portal
keen dome
#

Left hand for mouse, right hand for keyboard

carmine portal
runic trail
#

If I have to hit space I have to kind of... Hit it with the base of my little finger?/

keen dome
#

No, no.

carmine portal
#

That is freak behaviour

keen dome
#

Sinister

#

It's Sinister

runic trail
carmine portal
#

I want to see an m+10 handcam from one of u

keen dome
#

Sinister (Latin for 'left') indicates the left-hand side as regarded by the bearer – the bearer's proper left, and to the right as seen by the viewer

swift tinsel
#

lefty gang rise uppppp

#

(still play mouse right hand tho)

runic trail
keen dome
#

My binds may make more sense with the knowledge of my right-hand being on the keyboard

swift tinsel
runic trail
swift tinsel
#

plus I grew up with a normie setup bc of school and family computer

latent finch
keen dome
#

True, but i'm lazy

#

So right hand does the keyboard stuff

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

lmao

keen dome
#

I can't hit shift or alt easily

#

so it's all control

swift tinsel
#

idk if I could handle right hand wasd

carmine portal
keen dome
#

Hah

carmine portal
#

Giving her directions in wow is hard

keen dome
#

wheat edge
#

hmm can u just macro backstab to dance?

keen dome
#

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

keen dome
#

viola

swift tinsel
#

hey I can reclaim my cb+sectech macro bind

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

shift+R my beloved

keen dome
#

R for Dance, ctrl+r for symbols has worked so well for me

#

It feels so fluid

swift tinsel
#

I do Q sod 3 Dance

#

simulpress very easy

runic trail
#

Shift 1 dance shift 3 symbols, I dunno why but shift 3 is always big cooldowns

keen dome
#

Someday I will unbind Q and E from strafe and use them

#

Today is not that day

carmine portal
#

I use q/e instead of 1/2

#

Feels way smoother

swift tinsel
#

Q is cd button, 3 is kind of a flex depending on spec

keen dome
#

I was going to do it at the start of TWW but then I just didn't

#

I imagine this will repeat

swift tinsel
#

I played Q E strafe until probably WoD then I swapped back to A D

keen dome
#

Ye

swift tinsel
#

E kick is so cozy

keen dome
#

It's one of those things I know I should learn but then I never do

swift tinsel
#

I mean if you have strafe bound period and its QE or AD that's solid

carmine portal
#

When i first played in 2008 my older brother made a/d strafe like

#

My second day

wheat edge
#

ohhh so wait this macro just makes it so that while ur in shadow dance the bind is backstab

swift tinsel
#

man I don't even wanna talk about my binds when I started

keen dome
#

Yep!

wheat edge
#

kinda clean

keen dome
#

It's real nice

swift tinsel
#

was playing on a 2007 Macbook lol

#

Mine was some old ass grey mac box, my brother had an imac

#

It's such gross padding

clever delta
#

i did parse once on stixx and never again

keen dome
#

Did it with my guild where nobody knows how to do AoE damage

runic trail
keen dome
#

So I ended up with this damage breakdown:

swift tinsel
keen dome
#

I'm the DPS at the top. Then the next person down is the second highest on the kill

#

I did it in a pug too and it's resulted in the funniest kill time disparity

runic trail
lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

wotlk was when I finally got a usb mouse so I was free of trackpad jail

keen dome
#

damn, wow on a trackpad

swift tinsel
#

J K L ; binds be damned

swift tinsel
#

one would press the 'right click' and the other would navigate the trackpad

#

and then had A S D F J K L ; as my main binds

#

it was

#

SO cursed

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

but I wanted to game lol and it was only BC and early wrath so I think I did one Kara and one or two Naxx's as a holy paladin so it was doable

swift tinsel
#

its true tho frost absolutely ate with the rework compared to unholy

#

removing cleaving strikes a windmill dunk from half court

lilac stag
#

just had to donate some slappy hands

vestal escarp
#

We donated more

#

But alas

alpine wraith
#

we lost dust double vanish dance in tree

#

but hey at least flag gives mastery

#

xd

#

also rip

keen dome
#

I hope we can add goremaw to that lineup soon

lilac stag
#

don’t think a single dk asked from grippy to go

alpine wraith
#

goremaw could be something interesting but they refuse to iterate

#

like literally just change it to finisher dmg

#

instead of energy

#

biggest problem sub has is the only capstone we have is shadowcraft

#

everything else is just there

#

and shadowcraft is actually quite toxic

#

because it makes you able to spam finishers so they cant be as strong as intended

#

and energy useless

#

everything they learnt over 9 years got washed away

lilac stag
#

I would be thrilled to see danse deleted.

alpine wraith
#

danse rotten and db are like

#

whatever

lilac stag
#

DB you could argue some theme BS

swift tinsel
#

db honestly should merge into rs

alpine wraith
#

and same thing happened with sepsis it was going to be a cool finisher then they made it a wank builder

#

that does shit dmg

swift tinsel
#

turning rupture and instant poison to shadow damage, big uppies

alpine wraith
#

and enables 1 afterwards 2 stealth abilities but only for SUB it does not proc the stealth things

#

why because F you

lilac stag
#

I’d rather them just go in on the base spec being shadow

swift tinsel
#

should be, yeah

alpine wraith
#

tbh i liked being all physical and FW being strong

#

there is no reason we do shadow things we are rogues

#

not warlocks

lilac stag
#

I swear it was just to be different than nature / assa

swift tinsel
#

if they do that revert fw to only from strike and make it 70-100%

alpine wraith
#

the spec itself got a weird mid change but never went full into it

swift tinsel
#

classic sub

alpine wraith
#

im all for full phys omega ninja with big hits

#

or shadow weaver with cool cds and abilities

#

but not the thing we have now

#

30% fw

lilac stag
#

idk does shadow even matter for pvp any longer with ignoring armor

alpine wraith
#

the fuq is that

#

shadow is fun because some specs can reduce lots of magic dmg

#

so it is even worse than phys

#

and plate/mail with shield already cuck dmg from everywhere

swift tinsel
#

remove pve armor as a factor

#

and parry

lilac stag
#

dispell nightblade

swift tinsel
#

let the pvp nerds play their own game with weird mitigations

lilac stag
#

spec just needs to be streamline ability wise and interaction wise

#

how certain things work together behind the scenes is insane

ripe flame
#

where would the theme and immersion be if parry is not a thing anymore garf

lilac stag
#

in the bin with the rest of the immersion

swift tinsel
#

remove Kingsbane from the parry blacklist then

#

same with Colossus Smash

#

and anything else that is specifically unparryable

lilac stag
#

let it all burn

ripe flame
#

Yea 2845mad

swift tinsel
#

either make it all parryable or nothing

alpine wraith
#

at least you dont need to soothe bosses anymore as rogue

#

imagine they parry you XD

swift tinsel
#

gotta bring back Expose Armor

alpine wraith
#

i would not mind it being a super amp with a cd

swift tinsel
#

"hold on lemme Sunder for threat"

alpine wraith
#

but what i dont really like is flag and blades being so long

#

like how can we get big burst if our cds last almost 30 secs

swift tinsel
#

that's why if we're stuck with FW make it only tied to Strike but make it super strong

alpine wraith
#

FW is so weird

swift tinsel
#

yeah cd window should be 16sec like blades

#

fit 2x dance in neatly

#

instead of weird 8sec buffer from flag

alpine wraith
#

i was tinkering a bit with using blades a bit later so it covers the 2 later sec techs instead of 2 first ones

#

may be a bit of a win

#

with the triple dance on cds

#

you would use it when you proc coup after the first sec tech kinda

swift tinsel
#

would that gain more from forge bc it can cover all of it?

#

or do trinkets not really matter for that part

alpine wraith
#

forge is a bit weird for sub

swift tinsel
#

yea

alpine wraith
#

because we ramp

#

and it decays

swift tinsel
#

that's why I was curious about where it would land power-wise across a triple dance

alpine wraith
#

best we can do is sim but tbh it will depend on encounter mostly

#

if you need more bonehead fronted dmg

ripe flame
#

It goes down as we go up kinda thing?

alpine wraith
#

well our problem is you pop trinket and use sec tech or whatever right

keen dome
#

@lilac stag What spec do you think the void DH would've been before becoming void. This is a very important question

alpine wraith
#

but that one would have like 7 flag stacks

swift tinsel
#

Yeah and lily would need a steroid injection to enter the conversation

alpine wraith
#

and 1 or 2 flawless

#

vs the second or third sec tech

#

with 30 stacks and like 20+ flawless with new tier

swift tinsel
#

esp with new tier set giving moreflawless

#

yeah

alpine wraith
#

that is a difference of like 140% inc finisher dmg + danse

#

same with blades

#

as it has 16 secs durations because

#

idk f you

swift tinsel
#

idk I like blades duration

#

flag is the weird one for me

alpine wraith
#

flag has to have less stacks be stronger and last less

#

like if you stacked it with 2 finishers or 3

swift tinsel
#

yeah the whole ramping part could go imo

#

bc it stacks so fast already

alpine wraith
#

could make the stacks be little but make it do lots of dmg like when we had obedience and lashing scars

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's something I wouldn't mind either

#

instead of just being "the thing we press before blades"

swift tinsel
#

probably havoc if I had to guess

keen dome
#

Only way to prevent it from becoming real: become it first

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

he's got the edgelord 'idgaf about my transmog' thing

#

if there were two characters in the game that looked like that, yeesh

it's kinda fun ngl

Can we get a talent called Frontstab that makes Backstab work from the Front

#

Instead of the Back

swift tinsel
#

his head is permanently stuck like a decade behind where the game is so all of his points are bad lol

north schooner
#

no you don't understand. Just because they designed rogue in some way back in cata, it has to still be designed around that

swift tinsel
#

oh shit you right

#

mb

#

also Relentless Strikes would fix every energy issue for outlaw and sin but energy isn't an issue

#

legendary mafic take

#

if you contradict yourself no one else can do it for you pepe_chad

I'm convinced its actually the smoothest marble

#

good ideas just roll right off

north schooner
#

i said it before too but blizzard should give him class designer privileges for a day

swift tinsel
#

watching him and Xaethron go at it is cinema

#

omg as long as its in a little pocket dimension where it can't actually affect the game

#

bc rogue would literally become the worst iteration

north schooner
#

it will be midnight's final rogue design

swift tinsel
#

I will delete my rogue if Mafic designs any part of it

north schooner
#

realz is busy with the 3rd DH spec, mafic will be subbed in

swift tinsel
#

that's some Black Mirror shit

#

outlaw would lose RtB

#

sin would have infinite energy

#

sub would be pooling energy for big burst windows!

north schooner
#

you mean outlaw will go back to being combat as originally designed

swift tinsel
#

like vanilla combat

north schooner
#

combat daggers garf

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's his vision i stg

#

also you have enough talent points to spec into every single node

#

and all nodes are tuned up 500%

#

bc tuning fixes all of our tree problems

north schooner
#

PV and Fatal Intent might be worth a point HOLY

swift tinsel
#

idk if he knows what hero talents are or do bc he hasn't done any content this xpac

north schooner
#

not sure about Fatal Intent tbh - might need more

swift tinsel
#

maybe he's one of them Goldshire types

north schooner
#

he has some weird outlaw spec with no UHUH and Blade Rush and other weird things. Not sure what he does with his rogue

swift tinsel
#

dude his outlaw spec is so goofy I looked at it once and it explained so much

north schooner
#

I simmed his spec at 800k ST but it was with pvp gear on

tulip badger
#

Hi, if swapping from sin to sub, with no HoC but myth signet, should i still play it on 1 :30min cd or wait to 2?

swift tinsel
#

like sure play the game your way and spec how you want, but don't tell other people how to play the game if you clearly don't understand it

swift tinsel
#

if you use signet you'd have to play it like a 3min trinket

tulip badger
#

Have it on champ track

#

So next season go for it again?

swift tinsel
#

can you get hoc with dinar?

Nope

#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

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.
