Let's see, maybe the fixed nimble (I don't believe it)

swift tinsel
#

meanwhile DS set still fucking sucks

#

and so does the baseline tree

#

it's a good thing, fuck ds

swift tinsel
#

DS now BP in st lets gooooooo

pliant topaz
#

I feel like I can see the future sometimes

warm marlin
#

ds pressing bp in st meaning it just has better passive cleave than trickster kekW

north schooner
#

SB still doesn't do anything with flurry

merry agate
#

you will play DS and you will like it

swift tinsel
#

hell yeah

#

bc why would it

keen dome
#

Just shove another 4% on it and call it a day, we al know where it's heading

jaunty heath
#

yea kind of a poopy buff

vestal escarp
#

bp buff

slate marlin
#

can someone test if sb was fixed?

keen dome
#

I bet their thinking is like: oh, Trickster will aoe with nimble, and now DS can AoE with BP. That's balance.

slate marlin
#

i mean nimble

hollow spear
#

If bp isn't your highest damage in m+, you're playing the spec wrong

jaunty heath
#

30% bp buff plz

pliant topaz
#

I havent looked at it, but for people on PTR, does the deathstalker 2pc buff the "buff bp" choice node of DS?

patent lichen
#

Ok genuine question...... WHY GOD, WHYYYYY

edgy zenith
#

im finna talk shit, is realz still employed?

sly shore
#

not for rogue, at least

merry agate

we gonna play DS in raid and we gonna parse with some juicy Fatal Intent Crits

that thing is not real

You'll push your BP and like it

havoc

#

bc then new spec in .5

swift tinsel
#

like c'mon

edgy zenith
#

easily havoc

warm marlin
#

delve trinkets obliterated from orbit?

swift tinsel
#

if you're gonna buff nimble without fixing the bugs

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

you're just admitting you're not gonna fix bugs

keen dome
#

It opens the door to them fixing bugs and we get a week of comedy damage

vestal escarp
#

also i think DS is now beyond the BP in ST treshold

north schooner

is going the nimble buff change the logic for target count?

yeah DS is a lost cause and deep down they know it
i hope kekdog

lucid jackal
#

Only rogue would get a buff and mfers will complain

#

I swear to god

vestal escarp
#

DS tier set and buff really make Bp crits stronger than evis

swift tinsel
#

you aren't gonna play DS

#

its so far behind trickster

pliant topaz
#

theyre complaining about having to BP in single target now.

ashen dock
#

gaming

slate marlin
#

not complaining, just hilarious thats its a bp buff

pliant topaz
#

I looked at the sims, and doesnt seem like you would still blackpowder in single target, but its actually really really close now in sims.

keen dome
#

So they need to buff it more

pliant topaz
#

might be worth for Dm stack idk

drifting fable

or do the bp and nimble buffs offset and not change anything

The only people left playing rogue are crazy so its what you get when you go into a rogue discord

keen dome

#

the real celebration should be dodging a tier set nerf

alpine wraith
#

it is a good thing at least for m+ but still

#

oh tier set will get double tapped i think

slate marlin
alpine wraith

but they will buff overall again

lilac stag
quaint nimbus

So im getting the impression that we are sad that there wasnt a lot of changes

slate marlin

Ok?

left ledge

holy fuck did we get bp buff

#

BUFF IT AGAIN

we did

BUFF DS

I KNEW THEY WERE READING THE DISC

I mean its not that deep though. sub aoe = ass

alpine wraith
#

we have these for a reason

pliant topaz

okay, we buff their aoe tools

left ledge

11% has to be a hidden message

pliant topaz
keen dome
#

no, full comedy is when BP does more than Evis in ST. That's full comedy imo.

alpine wraith
#

yea buff sub aoe touch things that work on aoe

#

nothing crazy

vestal escarp
#

a whole season spent asking for bp buffs

alpine wraith
#

i would not mind if evis got buffed and shadowstrike and builders nerfed

vestal escarp
#

now that (at least this) community moved on

runic trail
alpine wraith
#

i dont see why my shadowstrike has to crit for 2 million

edgy zenith
#

i just wanna BP St man

carmine portal
#

isn't it like a 30-40k dmg increase?

pliant topaz
#

i mean 1) youre not playing deathstalker unless giga big tuning / trickster nerfs

#

that shits like 10% behind

vestal escarp
#

it almost did in nerubar cmon

carmine portal
#

yippie

alpine wraith
#

you can play DS we will just point and laugh at you

#

if we see you

pliant topaz
#
  1. okay, you might bp in single target as deathstalker for Dm stacks
#

but not perma bp in st

edgy zenith
#

if I have to have evis bound, I don't want it

alpine wraith
keen dome
#

Hopefully they fix the missapplied 50% on the tier set too, which would be rad.

alpine wraith
#

gotta POG in DS

#

momentum of krangle

open vortex
#

fdk/bm/mm/spriest/boomy all nerfed

alpine wraith

we can send people that want danse to stack to 10 in TFD to DS

feeds into the Dm chase

it is my time to shine

and then subsequently get nerfed week two

fdk needed it tho let's face it

enhance or havoc then. kekdog

void hound
#

my schizo brain tells me the reason they went with buffing nimble is because they cant fix the bugs associated with it

swift tinsel
#

warlocks got criminal buffs jesus

alpine wraith
#

i mean like armin said they saw a problem

pliant topaz
alpine wraith
#

and had an easy solution

keen dome
#

Because then you can be the skyfury Sub buddy

True

jaunty heath

more aoe plz

Also, you can turn into a wolf and shout DOG MODE.

It's cool to get more nimble damage

lilac stag
# left ledge 11% has to be a hidden message

In numerology, the number 11 is considered a "master number". It is associated with heightened intuition, spiritual insight, and enlightenment. It can symbolize new beginnings, spiritual awakening, and divine guidance. It is often seen as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious realms.

keen dome
#

Someday they'll fix the bugs and not revert it and we'll have a funny afternoon.

swift tinsel
#

I mean 65% nimble plus adding blades and removing SF reduction

#

would be a nice fantasy world to live in

keen dome
#

It could happen.

#

We'd proabbly only get it for an afternoon. But it could happen!

jagged rover
#

wtb more sub buffs so I don't have to worry about where my stupid deathstalker mark is during raid

alpine wraith
#

i actually wonder if they fixed blades with nimble

lilac stag

@balance_team let’s pump up those DS numbers LETS GO

how much better is sub's funnel damage compared to sin (if it is better in the first place)?

left ledge
#

One more BP buff and I think sub is fixed

vestal escarp
#

me too

#

i think that too

left ledge
#

Let’s get 5 more

lilac stag
latent fog
#

well - otuside of tuning kinda

pliant topaz
latent fog
#

just like - damage profile wise

#

maybe?

keen dome
left ledge
pliant topaz
#

bps gonna be at 86% of evis after the buff

latent fog
#

or is sin just been gapping sub on funnel for the entire xpac?

left ledge
#

5 more buffs

pliant topaz
#

we need more than 14% to get it above evis

keen dome
#

It could happen before the end of TWW

left ledge
#

We need bp to do like 2 evis worth of damage

jagged rover
#

sins funnel gets better with the ds tier set as well

left ledge
#

Why do we even have evis

#

It’s not very shadow sounding

#

Remove it

keen dome
#

Agreed. Replace it with, uh

left ledge
#

BP

keen dome
#

Shadowstrike is taken. Shadow.. stab

lilac stag
#

remove Sectech too

left ledge

Replace it with more BP buffs

warm depot

luh mao

keen dome

Shadowstrike into Shadowstab.

jagged rover

when does backstab get replaced by gloomblade permanently?

Never

keen dome

When I get to be a Dev

Sadly this will be the only positive change I make

are we playing deathstalker yet? LOLW

soonTM

vestal escarp
#

sure, next reclear

alpine wraith
#

you can uninstall details and never look at logs

alpine wraith
#

then you can play DS happily

left ledge
#

I will make sure of it

lilac stag
#

Not sure what’s funnier. Sub and BP or outlaw and KS

left ledge
#

I’m going to spend every waking hour spam submitting ptr reports to buff DS

vestal escarp
swift tinsel
#

will take an unholy act to make DS > trickster

left ledge
alpine wraith
#

idk some people are special

left ledge
#

Few more BP buffs is all it takes

swift tinsel
#

minus the whole trickster being stronger

#

esp if they fix the 4pc

keen dome
#

They should let trickster's flurry do shadow damage.

vestal escarp
#

man a whol tier

keen dome
vestal escarp
#

one sane whole tier

swift tinsel
#

so the 2nd coup benefits from the damage buff and flawless stacks from the first

asking for BP buffs

I have a sneaking suspicion blizz wants us to play DS

#

Class tuning update - Image

There is potential for rotational changes given the now lower difference between Evis and BP in absolute damage, but buffs are good.

Rough estimate would be ~2-3% AoE buff.
Note: Evis is still ~20% stronger, so we won't replace it with BP on single target.

brittle plinth
#

It's gonna be all buffs

SUB IS SAVED

brittle plinth
#

Why did assassination get so buffed

hollow spear
#

Frost DK got... Obliterated OMEGAKEKW

alpine wraith
#

they are still a bit behind

narrow shadow
#

Because assa always needs to be the top rogue spec

alpine wraith
#

because tier set is quite bad

vestal escarp
#

cause it was dog

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

so even after this they will get buffed

jaunty heath

Are people using it improperly 🤔

Real talk, I wonder why they keep buffing BP

lilac stag
#

Fdk spell

left ledge
#

Are they looking at logs and not seeing it?

#

Do they understand why we seldom press BP?

keen dome
#

I think Armin summed it up pretty well

vestal escarp
#

armin said it a bunch of lines above

left ledge
#

Oh did he

keen dome
#

Sub AoE bad so buff Sub AoE to be less bad

leaden plover
#

I guess we are using BP in single target now.

vestal escarp

bandaid to bad perfomance in aoe/keys

BP is their aoe tuning knob

same with nimble now

Glorious day of all the glory.

we are saved

But what happens when subs aoe stays bad

#

But the day of glorious comedy is on the horizon

#

And bp overtakes evis

#

Like what is their plan

keen dome

#

any bugfixes?

vestal escarp
#

hard to imagine they're failing to realize that no the real issue but w/e

keen dome
lilac stag
leaden plover
#

Always fancied using bp instead of evis yk

left ledge
pliant topaz
hollow spear
#

Any other solution would take more than thirty seconds to think about

pliant topaz
#

but aqt that point maybe they spend some time

#

and fix the thing

#

instead of doing the easy buff bandaid

lilac stag
#

or just hope everyone switches to Assa

hollow spear
#

Wdym switch

#

There's only twelve of us

pliant topaz
#

but also, this is funny af that in s3 df I told realz u could buff bp by 50% and it would still be ass

hollow spear
#

Half of the people here secretly play sin anyways

left ledge
pliant topaz
#

here we are, 3 seasons later, bp has beenn buffed by almost 90% still ass

#

crazy

#

im telling u

#

i can see the future

hollow spear
#

Or they're like Armin OMEGAKEKW

lilac stag
left ledge
#

I think it’s safe to say we probably won’t see the spec fixed until another rework

keen dome
vestal escarp
#

which wont come

lilac stag
left ledge
#

At which point we will have new bugs that won’t get fixed

hollow spear
#

"He won't come"

pliant topaz
#

no reason to spend more time on it for now

keen dome
#

The year is 2027. Sub has had four reworks. Shadowed finishers continues to not interact with anything, even itself.

lilac stag
#

enhance it is.

pliant topaz
#

aoe bad? just buff bp until it breaks the spec

#

then people cry on forums

lilac stag
#

Can’t double down on realz specs

pliant topaz
#

then u spend 25 minutes shuffling things around again

left ledge
#

I’m glad some classes are enjoying hero talents

hollow spear
#

🏄 🏄‍♀️ 👍

left ledge
#

But it’s been a huge problem for rogue

lilac stag
#

ST rotation now

left ledge
#

Probably the worst thing to happen to us in a while

hollow spear
#

I mean idgaf about these changes tbh, they won't change anything

brittle plinth
#

If nimble said all DMG and not normal

keen dome
brittle plinth
#

That wouldn't be too bad

hollow spear
#

Maybe our dm stacking is even more cursed

jagged rover
#

I prefer sub and especially in raid, but sin just has damage every pack in M+. Otherwise I'd just play sub everywhere

left ledge
pliant topaz
brittle plinth
hollow spear
#

Armin, how cursed is our dm stacking?

#

Do we press bp?

alpine wraith
#

nothing because we play trickster

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

but we may bp for DM at like 3 tarets now

#

oh no

#

if they have fw

keen dome
alpine wraith
#

unlikely actually

lilac stag
left ledge
hollow spear
#

We already bp at three targets if we have blade

vestal escarp
#

btw 65% flurry is pretty nuts

pliant topaz
# hollow spear Do we press bp?

idk its too time consuming to implement the way i think itll go in the apl. and i cba. but the gist im thinking is this.

instead of bs you do 1 storm before dance. if it crits u get the buff, then its prob worth to bp once in damnce for dm stack. if not, then u dont bp and take the loss. its gonna be weird cuz itll be dependant on crit chances and margins. i can prob do a napkin math lter

left ledge
rotund pawn
#

so, i dont know if i am smoking crack or something, but wouldnt these new changes make you spam black powder in every possible situation aside pure single target patchwerk?

left ledge
#

Another 5 buffs to BP

lilac stag
left ledge
#

DS already wanted to bp at low target counts

vestal escarp
#

in aoe?

pliant topaz
# lilac stag How about our hidden coup animation?

oooh i love that one. specially when they gave us hte dash, we hated it and bitched about it, then it went live, and it was awful, then they removed it (the only existing fucking animation of the tree), and they hit us with suskaygeagreegebusiness see? we listening, we so good,youre welcome for the great changes

keen dome
#

It does have a pretty good animation now

#

It only took.. a season

I hate to press backstab in dance, maybe that'll feel better

do you guys think we will use BP on ST dance windows for macabre stacks?

BP def cares about FW

lilac stag
#

oh I know. Just some bugged interaction on live or something

#

would be cherry on top

left ledge
sick jackal
#

understandable

left ledge
#

You want to sectec first for your flawless form anyways and then you’d need to calculate whether the DM stack was worth not casting an evis instead post sectec

#

UNLESS WE BUFF BP MORE LETS GO

#

THEN WE JUST REPLACE EVIS

#

“Don’t hit the adds, focus boss”

#

SRY BRO GOTTA BP

tbf, bp has purple

all over it

rotund pawn
jagged rover
#

I'm 99% sure I don't use BP enough when I play sub in M+. I need to hit the button more anyway

hollow spear
#

So far it's been 5+ fw targets and 3+ fw targets during blades

#

And they also buffed flurry while buffing bp, so it'll most likely not move too much

#

Let's see what the robot says

chrome palm

Do we know if they fixed anything this go around

Apparently nimble bugs are still there

Maybe next expac

#

Lookin good this tier though PES_EvilHandRub

probably head to head now

Think sub is just better because more of its damage is in a CD

#

and this is a damage amp tier

steel zinc
warm marlin
#

🤐 trickster tier must survive ptr

slate marlin
#

i too think this will be a sub raid angle

jagged rover
#

my main worry about assassination is target swap fights

teal island
lucid jackal
#

Target swaps are literally suicide for sin is also the issue

jagged rover
#

so goign to be playing a lot more sub just because of that (and its more fun). Assassination is super easy to jump back into when needed

lucid jackal
#

Especially the types of target swaps this tier is asking u to do

#

Like the boss with the pillars

#

Like u can pretend sin is gonna be good on that fight, or equal, but like, it's just gonna be pure cancer juggling DM on that fight properly

jagged rover
#

pillar boss and 2nd to last boss are my main worries

lucid jackal
#

Same with the DH bosses

jagged rover
#

figure DH bosses you'd just single target the one that moves the least and cleave, but maybe its terrible timing wise to swap marks

fickle mason
lucid jackal
#

What do u mean cleave off boss

fickle mason
#

Like on one armed bandit

lucid jackal
#

Cleave off the 3 pillars on different ends of the fight?

#

Cleave off the add that spawns and is prio kill whenever it spawns?

#

Just play sub, move a dance to there

steel zinc

Its way worse

steel zinc
#

ya

lucid jackal

Its like council of dreams lol

#

Where its a fiesta fight

steel zinc
#

on mythic it was so cooked

lucid jackal

If u play perfect DSM im sure it's "fine" but like bro

steel zinc
#

the overlaps

lucid jackal
#

That fight is a clusterfuck

steel zinc
#

I think it must be changed

#

legit the others bosses are easier imo

#

I see it in the current state being skipped in rwf

#

except numbers are insanely tuned

lilac stag
#

waiting for cooked assa build with double vanish to target swap.

steel zinc
#

you will play it

lucid jackal
#

Or just play sub OMEGALUL

steel zinc
#

even if it is like 3% dps loss

lucid jackal
#

cuz sub is better OMEGALUL

jaunty heath
#

P sure sin is fine in raid

steel zinc
#

sin is busted early on

#

you will play it

jaunty heath
#

I love sub though so any opportunity to play it I will

steel zinc
#

like you go into the patch with a 12% damage buff

#

sub goes with it like 3%

#

imagine rn sin was 12% buff

lilac stag
#

I’m still expecting a late assa tier buff.

light finch
#

even as sub this fight is cancer with the whole charging shtick

steel zinc
#

yeah later sub goes ahead but week 1-3 assa is busted

Sin is back to a 2 min spec, and these buffs aren't even that good

#

Itll be a sub tier sheeple

steel zinc
#

they are good and decnet imo

#

I hope

left ledge
#

If you guys want a better solution

#

Play a diff class

lilac stag
#

devoker

left ledge
#

And for the balance team that’s in here

#

Buff BP again

lilac stag
#

more BP

#

also fix DS

left ledge
#

We don’t want to press eviscerate

steel zinc
#

needs more bp buffs

#

Probably gonna use now 100% bp 5+ targets

#

no matter if we have fw

#

and also holding coup is now even before tier even more worth it

left ledge
#

All our nimble flurry problems would be solved if they just buffed bp a few more times

dry plank
#

Ye 20% more buff to bp please ))

steel zinc
#

like legit nimble would be way better if it actually worked with all talents

#

imagine not working with 2 damage talents

#

blades and shadow finishers

#

or is that fixed?

left ledge
#

Don’t need to imagine it

#

We have tornado

#

And it’s real

lucid jackal
#

Why would I play a diff class

#

I play rogue

left ledge
#

Glorified devo aura ahh

swift tinsel
#

no 4pc fix yet

steel zinc
#

cant keep up

swift tinsel
dry plank
#

Guy there is outlaw huge omega pepega buff, sub is fine, assa another 5% aura buff and set buff will solve issue for majority of people who still play this class

lucid jackal
#

does this impact anything at all

dry plank
#

The more changes they add more bugs appear it is class design we are fine. Aura buffs and bp buffs always help )

frail kindle
#

Why are we still getting bp buffs man

#

So cringe

dry plank
#

We should pray every day that it took only 7 month ls to fix coup charge xD

shut jay
#

BP buff, damn we're so back

soft summit
lilac stag
formal helm
lilac stag
#

That’s the goal

formal helm
acoustic lodge
#

Can’t tell if the frost nerfs are bug

left ledge
#

I can tell you that we need more bp buffs

#

But nothing about frost

frail kindle
#

The sub tuning classic, plus 5% bp damage

soft summit
left ledge
#

It’s low play rate has nothing to do with how fun it is unfortunately

left ledge
#

Sub has had a stigma of being “hard” to play and isn’t really meta for very long

#

It really doesn’t

frail kindle
#

Sub play style rn is much better than it’s been in the past

lilac stag
#

fun being subjective.

left ledge
#

Even when sub was in its most fun states the play rate was abysmal

#

Rogue has historically been the least played class

soft summit
lilac stag
#

there’s def some rough edges to sub, but people enjoy the burst / nothing cycle for the most part.

frail kindle
#

Nothing? I think the shadow dust change was before that

soft summit
#

Still bipolar with fun shadow dance windows then super low out of shadow dance windows?

frail kindle
#

Yep

soft summit
#

Yeah, that ain’t fun

frail kindle
#

This is better than having like 60% dance uptime

#

And having a flat line damage profile

#

We actually have burst now which is cool

left ledge
#

Burst isn’t fun go play outlaw?

#

Idk man

lilac stag
#

that’s what sub has always been about unless there was an aberration of a tier set

frail kindle
#

Issues with sub are with the hero talents and some talent tuning

lilac stag
#

assa gives you more to do outside of CDs. Hell assa lets you do just about everything. Just move talents around.

teal island
#

backstabing with 0 energy for most of the fight isn't fun either in my opinion

lilac stag
#

good news is, now you’ll be storming

#

and have tea in m+

lucid jackal
frail kindle
#

Why do you care about doing damage outside of cds

lucid jackal
#

If you believe this to be true, rogue has been broken for over 12 years

#

Rogue hasn't been a popular class in over a decade

frail kindle
#

Every spec in the game hits like a wet noodle outside of cds I really could care less what I do outside of cds lmao

lucid jackal
#

Which I mean sure u can think that, but then why tf r u here

lilac stag
#

sub isn’t good in m+ because of its krangled AoE, not because of its dmg profile.

lucid jackal
#

And also, who tf cares if it's popular or unpopular. The question is if it's fun or not

swift tinsel
#

the less popular the better so I get all the daggers from raid

lilac stag
#

and fun is subjective.

swift tinsel
#

hoover them bitches up

lilac stag
#

Get your free guild invite since recruiting rogues sucks

alpine wraith
#

last times i had to find guild it was a bit of a struggle tho

#

most of them already have 1 and no reason to have 2

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

unless you also play other classes

sly shore
#

me being like "if we don't get anything ptr of midnight it's over" and still playing rogue anyway

swift tinsel
#

breath duration nerf was absolutly warranted

sly shore
alpine wraith
#

well i mean we have been on a downward spiral since wod but rogue still trucks along

#

at least we are generally very durable

swift tinsel
#

so the consolation dmg buff will be a net gain for a lot of folks I bet

alpine wraith
#

yea skill issue buff

lilac stag
frail kindle
#

So frost had two 10% aura buffs, and one 12% nerf

#

So they’re still up overall

swift tinsel
soft summit
swift tinsel
#

caveat

hazy breach
#

Idk what people who say rogue feels horrible to play even want

soft summit
#

You know what’s not fun? Evokers. checks demographics oh it’s actually the only class in the game more unpopular than rogues

lucid jackal
#

They don't want anything, they just want to complain

swift tinsel
#

imo only feels horrible as DS and aoe

alpine wraith
#

problem is most people dont even get to play rogue because leveling is a nightmare

#

so only people that reroll or already playa it play it really

hazy breach
#

Ye leveling obviously sucks

alpine wraith
#

i guess most people if they dont straight up quit

#

just go play something else that is not that tragic

swift tinsel
alpine wraith
#

remember we are like the 0.x% of top players

#

and even then it is skewed

swift tinsel
#

and also it came out last xpac

#

demographics + context is important

alpine wraith
#

evokers actually overtook us for a time

lucid jackal
#

The biggest "issue" rogue has is

  • Energy is a repulsive resource to many players, especially it's one of the few that has it at all.
  • The specs is usually takes more effort to get it's damage out compared to a lot of other specs
alpine wraith
#

idk how it is now

#

if they even get to max lvl

lucid jackal
#

But these aren't really, issues they are just features

#

But again, rogue has been unpopular for over 10 years

#

Has rogue never been fun in 10 years?

hazy breach
#

Has never been popular

lucid jackal
#

Is that your prescription?

hazy breach
#

Its literally always been last or close to last

left ledge
#

Energy isn’t a resource on sub

soft summit
#

What they should give sub rogue is a talent called lithium which reduces the low point time in half.

lucid jackal
#

Can I get you to commit to an answer?

#

Has rogue never been fun in over 10 years?

bright elk
#

Hooray for buffs, ST buffs next pls

jagged rover
#

I personally love energy classes, because its just potential damage. A lot of people hate not hitting buttons every second they can though

lucid jackal
#

It's always been unpopular

hazy breach
left ledge
#

Guy you’re getting 1 guy’d I fear

#

This guy just dropped a line about fucking lithium

slate marlin
#

im happy with the buffs either way

bright elk
slate marlin
#

spec i like is stronk

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

the gameplay is fine for the most part just rogue wont be fomo unless it is super top

lucid jackal
#

I think the fact that this is a damage amp tier, and also sub is tuned fairly competitively, and also that trickster is very good, and also that DSM seems to be a nightmare for a lot of fights is going to lead to a very good sub tier overall

alpine wraith
#

even when it was arguably one of the better classes people cba'd playing it

#

or just played it as an alt

#

as a flex pick and mained warr/monk/dh

pliant topaz
bright elk
pliant topaz
#

I have my own reasons though.

lucid jackal
#

Mfers love complaining

#

Idk if u guys ever read those threads on reddit that are like "whats the worst class to play" and then ppl type about why they hate rogue

#

all their reasons are bad

alpine wraith
#

my problem mostly with sub rn are the annoying bugs and the sad complicated things like sub is not hard per se but i get dms daily of things that really dont make sense if you think about it

lucid jackal
#

Like straight up wrong bad and dumb

left ledge
#

Sub rogue is in a more fun state now than before the rework that’s for sure

alpine wraith
#

like the cd timers or why talents are spread like that

left ledge
#

The problems are the bugs

#

The lack of talent variation

lucid jackal
#

I would agree

left ledge
#

I like spaghetti

lucid jackal
#

Like for example, what the fuck is this guy talking about

left ledge
#

But if I eat it every day for 5 years straight

alpine wraith
#

most of those things gatekeep rogue a lot

left ledge
#

I’m gonna get sick of it a bit

alpine wraith
#

people dont even get to the point of having fun on the spec

#

if their damage is horrible until it clicks

pliant topaz
hazy breach
lucid jackal
#

rtb

left ledge
#

I just didn’t emphasize

slate marlin
#

people wouldnt be complaining about sub as much if it was arcane level of op

upper narwhal
alpine wraith
#

people cant imagine a 5 sec burst window

#

right now imagine

left ledge
#

I don’t like flurry on sub, it feels weird. Or at least keep it as a low cleave option and give us real aoe

alpine wraith
#

if youre whole 24 flag button mash 2 or 3 dances

#

was just ambush ambush evis ambush evis 1 dance

#

and did the same or more damage compared to other specs

left ledge
#

MoP rogue was just the better version of cata rogue

alpine wraith
#

yea MoP was very good sadly sub was only very decent last tier kinda as always

left ledge
#

And classic rogue almost didn’t function in pve

alpine wraith
#

i miss sinister calling

#

when we scaled kek

bright elk
#

I’m surprised at how much I’m enjoying mop pre patch rogue

left ledge
#

Yeah mop classic is final patch balancing

bright elk
#

Feels wack to want to stack haste as sub lol

left ledge
#

So sub rogue will be happy there at least

severe prism
#

Personally losing sub funnel identity kinda bothered me, I thought it was fun

left ledge
#

Yeah losing sub funnel was def a weird moment

#

It excelled on the one boss a bit too much so they deemed funnel terrible for the game

alpine wraith
#

we also had 0 compensation and the azerites that came were so horrible

left ledge
#

Then proceeded to give it to like 7 other specs

alpine wraith
#

i will also never forgive blizz on the first dance rework azerite

#

the original one was so good

#

after the first buff

left ledge
#

Haven’t touched the class in a while

swift tinsel
#

even after nerf

jaunty heath
#

My issue with sub is that it's aoe is meh, and then it's st is fine but as soon as you introduce funnel you just don't climb like other specs. Which is cool we don't HAVE to have funnel. But let me be great at something besides just cleaving which other classes do well anyway

pliant topaz
#

It felt like sub just had nothing for it, no identity, nothing to really make it stand out

#

for me, things like that matter a lot, dust was a cool identity which i enjoyed it made it special

#

then it got removed and suddenly i felt like wow lost everything that made it fun to me. i just couldnt bother to log

#

in

lucid jackal
severe prism
#

Big burst window is what's left, at least this is still kinda cool 😎

lucid jackal
#

It's the defining strength of the spec that is going to carve its niche as the go to spec this tier

jagged rover
#

until this tier, Zul was the last fight I played my rogue on lol. Went over to healing until I quit the game until end of shadowlands. Finally back on my rogue now

slate marlin
#

burst unaffected by pi or bl which is good too

#

i wouldnt like relying on pi

hazy breach
#

See bandit

jaunty heath
alpine wraith
#

yea moving dances will be more easy now too with more cdr

lucid jackal
#

But thats not the identity of the spec

#

the identity of the spec is dropping a nuclear bomb

soft summit
light finch
jaunty heath
#

Yeah. It got buffed a bit so it's better now, but it felt like it was so niche. Like you could just bring a WW this tier and do that shit for you bc they just did more DMG in raid anyway.

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

I mean sure you could press more 20k backstabs out of dance

#

Maybe that would make people like it more but idk

slate marlin
#

id rather have stronger dances

pliant topaz
#

like if your fantasy is woah i summon giant army of undead and go brr, theres something for you to play udk. its always there, you feel it, its tangible.

soft summit
pliant topaz
#

but i dont think anyones excited about once per expac being able to move 1 dance 5 seconds for extra pad

lucid jackal
hazy breach
#

Idk it literally happens all the time in keys

lucid jackal
#

another few weeks sin got buffed sure

#

and the raid this tier was a joke

hazy breach
#

But ye high end skewed ig

severe prism
#

I personally don't mind having giga low moments as long as I get giga high ones, can't have it all.

lucid jackal
#

But this tier has damage amps, and subs damage being loaded into CDs is a massive boon

pliant topaz
#

keys are xd. thats almost something u can fix by routes etc if you have a group. it never feels like a special thing.

#

like even in keys i doubt the impact is that large (it never was when i played)

#

most thing i can think of is keeping dance for the first boss is nightmare dungoen thingy.

#

but that was just pain because my spec was so worthless i had to do it to be remotely useful, vs any other spec that could just deal with them without a problem

jaunty heath
#

Yeah but that's kind of where it matters. You want it good in early mythic prog when you're undergeared. And then tuning happens later and you swap anyway to sin or something. Like if it has a niche but it's not tuned well enough bc another class does it better, then that niche alone isn't good enough

lucid jackal
#

No niche in this entire game actually matters

#

the only thing that matters is tuning

jaunty heath
#

I think I completely agree with what ur saying, it's just the issue is, you have 20 other classes that can just be tuned higher without the niche and you just don't care about sub

pliant topaz
#

niche needs to be something u can build a fantasy around it in your head.

jaunty heath
#

Yes

#

That's my point lmao

pliant topaz
#

it can be as simple as oh shit i press button my character bursts in fire looks dope

lucid jackal
#

Well good thing sub is tuned competitively rn OMEGALUL

#

And also its niche is very easy to apply this tier

#

And its niche is extremely abusable

jaunty heath
#

So our niche is burst. But u do no DMG outside CDs, poor AOE, and no funnel

#

So gg

pliant topaz
#

not that my niche is i can move dance b y 5 seconds, and get +5k overall pad

lucid jackal
#

What do u mean "GG"

#

The spec is good rn on ptr

jaunty heath
#

I had a lot of fun on ptr

lucid jackal
#

The spec is good, and the fights allow you to abuse the main strengths of sub

#

It's like, a perfect tier for sub

jaunty heath
#

So far yea

#

I'm looking forward to it this tier

#

You're just gonna play sin when you need exe

swift tinsel
#

Unless they nuke trickster/tier from orbit I’m happy with sub going into raid

jaunty heath
#

Which is fine too

#

I like the mix

lucid jackal
#

Unless theres a new mugzee fight execute is borderline irrelevant

swift tinsel
#

And as long as weekly 10’s aren’t agony which I doubt will be the case I’ll push it through m+ for vault too

jaunty heath
#

Fair

lucid jackal
#

DSM Is also just dogshit on these fights to manage properly

swift tinsel
#

That whole tree needs to be taken out back

lucid jackal
#

I mean i like DSM

#

it just has quirks and downsides to it

jaunty heath
#

I do too

lucid jackal
#

(for sin)

swift tinsel
#

Idk between the new set and shadowcraft it feels way more abrasive

#

Ah yeah idk about it with sin going into next tier

lucid jackal
#

pillar boss, DH boss

#

Even last boss, depends on how the flying shit works

#

platform boss too

#

the dragon dude with the platforms

swift tinsel
#

I tunnel vision for sub

#

Other specs are peripheral entities

clever delta
#

they will just keep turning knobs until it isnt sub tier anymore

#

they already do

swift tinsel
#

If you play sub, it’s a sub tier BigBrain

#

werent you the outlaw guy? 😄

#

what happend

lucid jackal
#

I play the fun spec

lucid jackal
alpine wraith
#

yea sub is the premier spec for fun for me for the longest time just play it and enjoy game

#

they might buff assa into being better at some things but moving things around is always fun

alpine wraith
#

and well m+ and pvp are other beasts entirely

#

i actually doubt rogue in those places but some people prove me wrong every time

#

having good friends/mates>meta always remember

swift tinsel
#

I legit only play for the vibes in discord 95% of the time

graceful osprey
#

So that black powder and nimble flurry buff lol

lucid jackal
#

Me when the good spec gets buffed

swift tinsel
#

If it means trickster is still ahead of ds, which it does, I’m happy

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

That’s my m+ toon lol

#

Pretty sure one of our warriors and windwalkers are going back to their dk’s next tier

#

Losing two ww’s now

lilac stag
#

back to 5%. Insta reroll

swift tinsel
#

They were both ww season one and two so I’m surprised they’re switching now

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Well, one was a dk main for a while and now that breath isn’t 2min anymore that was his impetus I’m pretty sure

#

Lmao frost channel is a weird place as is

#

They need to hashtag harder

figured I’d check those pins. Walked into that. lol

It’s clearly working

I heckin love wow

don't worry mages will issue another everyone tag and they will be back on top by tuesday

#

Fixing bugs that would make nimble do 25% more damage? ⛔
Buffing nimble Check

swift tinsel
#

That’s what bothers me about it

#

The answer is right there

#

But instead we get the bandaid

lilac stag
#

As Armin said, this ain’t the first time, won’t be the last.

#

I get why he said fuck this

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it’s justified

lilac stag
#

really think the player base is just stupid

swift tinsel
#

Apparently it’s too outlandish for them to try for a few weeks to get nimble fixed then throw out the flat buff with a blue post saying “the code is too janky to get it to work, here’s a temporary buff while we figure it out”

#

Bc you know

#

Communicating is hard

steel jolt
#

is that something you'd really say in an announcement about yourself?

#

yeah i suck at my job so much we have to do something worse

#

kind of a crazy expectation if you ask me

lilac stag
swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

If they wanted to fix aoe idk fix Sectech cap

#

fix flurry

#

4 more BP buffs and we Gucci

real panther
#

Or give us a trinket like boon. That trinket was funny lol

fluid moth
#

Bandaid probably faster to do than bugfix

#

Small indie company doing small indie company things

left ledge
#

im gonna take a wild guess that blades is calculated right after the damage from your ability cast is calculated, and that flurry behaves the same way

#

which means they'd need to rework how one of them is calculated by the game

#

OR

#

there's demon mode spaghetti

#

my bet is on the spaghetti

#

there has to be some irrelevant ass talent or ability that's completely bricking them working together clueless

hazy breach
#

I mean thats possible but its mostly just them not trying

left ledge
tribal blade
#

interesting, how're we feeling about the buffs

#

BP gets yet another buff

left ledge
#

great, id love to see more BP buffs

#

if that wasnt evident

#

imo 5 more BP buffs and we're living the good life

hazy breach
#

Idk theres a nimble buff as well so

#

It kinda doesnt matter, its just more aoe

left ledge
#

oh yeah i guess there's that

tribal blade
#

yeah nice

pliant topaz
#

its like 2-3% aoe buff which is something ig

tribal blade
#

doesn't read as anything crazy

hazy breach
#

2-3% on dslice and like 5% on big cleave ye

pliant topaz
#

5%? my little napkin math was like 3% on 8 targets

#

but i could be wrong

tribal blade
#

btw sin tuning is also interesting

left ledge
#

sin is just a bunch of bandaids

tribal blade
#

looks like they actually tunneled trying to make bleed build better

#

all except the envenom buff

hazy breach
#

What

#

They nerfed CT

tribal blade
#

yeah true

hazy breach
#

Its mostly just more St

tribal blade
#

forgot that effects bleed too

hazy breach
#

without making the aoe better

tribal blade
#

true

left ledge
#

thats a big bleed for them in aoe yea

#

someone mentioned this earlier but it really would be interesting to get dev notes under these changes

#

just to understand what they're thinking of

tribal blade
#

THAT WOULD HELP A LOT

left ledge
#

yeah but i mean it'll never happen

#

i doubt it would even be a good idea for them lmao

#

im just so interested in what their end goal with BP is LOL

pliant topaz
#

i feel like these are really obvious changes man idk

#

sin -> buff single target without buffing aoe

hazy breach
left ledge
#

is it the most buffed ability in the game's history?

pliant topaz
#

sub -> buff aoe without buffing st

hazy breach
#

But since nimble+BP was like 50% or so it should be around 5%

left ledge
#

they eventually HAVE to address the problem

#

they cant just keep buffing BP

#

SURELY

hazy breach
#

Ofc they can

left ledge
plush roost
#

black powder buff

left ledge
#

what a twisted reality, where BP closing in on evis in ST is a possible future outcome

plush roost
#

HEHE

#

The memes were real all along

swift tinsel
#

for the hero tree we don't play

tribal blade
#

are we approaching the lane of pressing BP on 2 target

#

on trickster

plush roost
#

nimble 5% buff

#

maybe saved

tribal blade
#

oh nimble buff nvm yeah

#

this is what happens when i try to have conversations with no coffee in me

left ledge
#

i mean BP is still a button on trickster

hazy breach
#

Both are buffed by roughly the same amounts

left ledge
#

and the more it closes in on evis, the more we're going to press that button

hazy breach
#

Technically bp slightly more, but not enough to actually matter

pliant topaz
#

BP is not remotely close to evis on trickster

left ledge
pliant topaz
#

based

left ledge
hazy breach
#

We only have one hero talent anyway so

pliant topaz
#

deathstalker though....

left ledge
#

trickster bp is like what now

#

75% of an evis?

#

or whats it lookin like

pliant topaz
#

0.19 * 1.11 vs 0.28

#

for trickster

left ledge
#

ok lets calculationate that

pliant topaz
#

for deathstalker its like 0.19 * 1.11 * 1.15

left ledge
#

yeah so about 75% on trickster

hazy breach
#

Momentum is slightly more than 15% though, as its 15% crit and very minor crit damage

left ledge
#

and nearing 87% on ds

hazy breach
#

But ye
