wasn't bp 85% of an evis for deathstalker 
oofta
i hope this doesn't lead to just BP spam lmaoooo
back to 5%
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet | Github Tracker
2 target fw bp in blades 
not the bp whyyy
BP buff
11% wtf what an odd number
Who called it XD
Let's see, maybe the fixed nimble (I don't believe it)
:)))))))))))))))))
it's a good thing, fuck ds
DS now BP in st lets gooooooo
I feel like I can see the future sometimes
ds pressing bp in st meaning it just has better passive cleave than trickster 
SB still doesn't do anything with flurry
you will play DS and you will like it
Just shove another 4% on it and call it a day, we al know where it's heading
Bp buffs HAHAHAH
ur telling me we playing deathstalker and only pushing black powder
what is this
lets fucking go
literal shit
I'm getting powdered up boys

okay as funny as it is, i dont think anyones playing DS to bp in st
im terrified of the incoming ping
in ST or M+
idk i guess it is time to level a mage
chat
yea kind of a poopy buff
bp buff
can someone test if sb was fixed?
I bet their thinking is like: oh, Trickster will aoe with nimble, and now DS can AoE with BP. That's balance.
i mean nimble
If bp isn't your highest damage in m+, you're playing the spec wrong
30% bp buff plz
I havent looked at it, but for people on PTR, does the deathstalker 2pc buff the "buff bp" choice node of DS?
Ok genuine question...... WHY GOD, WHYYYYY
im finna talk shit, is realz still employed?
not for rogue, at least
we gonna play DS in raid and we gonna parse with some juicy Fatal Intent Crits
mark my words

dont
fatal intent? 💀

that thing is not real
most im bummed about is the CT nerf
dps, right

that's deserved, tired of Sin pressing CT and topping the charts with no CDs
one lil Fatal blip
bleed build in shambles
impossible
i think you're very off, all tiers but this sin had a tierset that buffed CT by a great deal
since your st build takes imp storm lmao
You'll push your BP and like it
i like buffs and doing more damage
enhance, havoc or fdk? 
enhance
like c'mon
easily havoc
delve trinkets obliterated from orbit?
if you're gonna buff nimble without fixing the bugs

you're just admitting you're not gonna fix bugs
It opens the door to them fixing bugs and we get a week of comedy damage
also i think DS is now beyond the BP in ST treshold
with flurry? it's not
is this a stat stick grieftorch?
This should not surprise you at this point.
is going the nimble buff change the logic for target count?
😦 they wont fix it soon then
@hazy breach
i feel like they trying to balance the bugs
i raise you even more cursed: worse normally, better during symbols because of the deathstalker tier set
powder again xD
it's a package
"They still don't want to play DS. Time to buff BP by 6%"
yeah DS is a lost cause and deep down they know it
i hope 
DS tier set and buff really make Bp crits stronger than evis
theyre complaining about having to BP in single target now.
gaming
not complaining, just hilarious thats its a bp buff
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.
So they need to buff it more
might be worth for Dm stack idk
2t spam black powder inc
I'm taking away your purple access.
does anything change with nimble logic?
you will spam it in ST and you will enjoy it
or do the bp and nimble buffs offset and not change anything
cant get over the fact that its 11
why 11 bro 
12 would be too much, 10 wouldn't be enough
black powder buff 
spin the wheel
storm and BP in ST. 
probably not. BP is mostly FW dependant not target count dependant
like bp > nimble on pretty low target counts if you have FW up
i said the same as with the 8% assa buff, 10% looks lazy, 11% looks more calculated
Wonder if they fixed the tier set
What the fuck are you talking about

How do you live your life this cynical about everything
thats bait
I'm so for real
yeah, I had a feeling the BP/FW part wasn't too impactful but didn't know if the 5% nimble buff moved the needle on FW thresholds
thats the funniest shit of all time
so that makes sense
why do u even think i am being serious🤣🤣 its obv a joke
maybe it does idk, would need to actually play with the sims
W rage bait
Not obvious
Is it ever worth to take Elusiveness?
nvm its discord and the internet, my bad
but initial guess, prob not
w rage bait
The only people left playing rogue are crazy so its what you get when you go into a rogue discord
they didn't buff it enough, it's not funny enough yet
the real celebration should be dodging a tier set nerf
it is a good thing at least for m+ but still
oh tier set will get double tapped i think
yep, i tend to forget people dont know my tone when on the internet, my bad
but they will buff overall again
It’s plain text with zero emotion attached to it. put a dam emoji after it at least
So im getting the impression that we are sad that there wasnt a lot of changes
Ok?

we did
BUFF IT AGAIN
hmm not sad buffs are good things
We're so close to comedy
I KNEW THEY WERE READING THE DISC
just kinda not surprised
?? we're into it fully

I mean its not that deep though. sub aoe = ass
we have these for a reason
okay, we buff their aoe tools
11% has to be a hidden message

no, full comedy is when BP does more than Evis in ST. That's full comedy imo.
a whole season spent asking for bp buffs
it doesnt 'yet'
i would not mind if evis got buffed and shadowstrike and builders nerfed
now that (at least this) community moved on
The yet scares me
i dont see why my shadowstrike has to crit for 2 million
i just wanna BP St man
isn't it like a 30-40k dmg increase?
i mean 1) youre not playing deathstalker unless giga big tuning / trickster nerfs
that shits like 10% behind
it almost did in nerubar cmon
yippie
- okay, you might bp in single target as deathstalker for Dm stacks
but not perma bp in st
if I have to have evis bound, I don't want it
you would need to enable the DS talent too so also a storm
Hopefully they fix the missapplied 50% on the tier set too, which would be rad.
fdk/bm/mm/spriest/boomy all nerfed
we can send people that want danse to stack to 10 in TFD to DS
feeds into the Dm chase
enhance or havoc then. 
my schizo brain tells me the reason they went with buffing nimble is because they cant fix the bugs associated with it
warlocks got criminal buffs jesus
i mean like armin said they saw a problem
or, or, or hear me out. subs aoe = litearl poopoo. so thye buff the thing that does aoe damage but not single target
and had an easy solution
Enhance!!!
Because then you can be the skyfury Sub buddy
True
more aoe plz
Also, you can turn into a wolf and shout DOG MODE.
maybe prophet will resilient carry me
K is the 11th letter in the alphabet
class reworK
i got em
haha
It's cool to get more nimble damage
the voices in my head say otherwise so
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.
Someday they'll fix the bugs and not revert it and we'll have a funny afternoon.
I mean 65% nimble plus adding blades and removing SF reduction
would be a nice fantasy world to live in
wtb more sub buffs so I don't have to worry about where my stupid deathstalker mark is during raid
i actually wonder if they fixed blades with nimble
It would go live on NA for 3 hours
nope
damn, true
Hero
it's on the boss brother, dont worry
someone said they checked ptr and nimble and blades still don't do the thing
@balance_team let’s pump up those DS numbers LETS GO
I mean, true, but I want to target swap. Not hope the boss is brought close enough to the adds
how much better is sub's funnel damage compared to sin (if it is better in the first place)?
One more BP buff and I think sub is fixed
It will shit on sin if we get like 5 more BP buffs
Let’s get 5 more
Has to be 7%
well - otuside of tuning kinda
nah it wont be.
Nah, no chance. We don't have the Ky'veza animations yet. Priorities, man
Old news we’re already on 5 now
bps gonna be at 86% of evis after the buff
or is sin just been gapping sub on funnel for the entire xpac?
5 more buffs
we need more than 14% to get it above evis
It could happen before the end of TWW
We need bp to do like 2 evis worth of damage
sins funnel gets better with the ds tier set as well
Agreed. Replace it with, uh
BP
Shadowstrike is taken. Shadow.. stab
remove Sectech too
Replace it with more BP buffs
luh mao
Shadowstrike into Shadowstab.
when does backstab get replaced by gloomblade permanently?
Never
are we playing deathstalker yet? 
soonTM
sure, next reclear
you can uninstall details and never look at logs
then you can play DS happily
I will make sure of it
Not sure what’s funnier. Sub and BP or outlaw and KS
I’m going to spend every waking hour spam submitting ptr reports to buff DS
not accounting for the shit feeling while playing, you would still need to unistall your brain
will take an unholy act to make DS > trickster
Not true
idk some people are special
Few more BP buffs is all it takes
They should let trickster's flurry do shadow damage.
man a whol tier
that's the thing I'm most curious about. if they have then I think we're gravy
one sane whole tier
so the 2nd coup benefits from the damage buff and flawless stacks from the first
asking for BP buffs
Something for sub will get nerfed by week 2. Wanna bet it’s trickster?
Evis damage
yeah same, I can stomach using storm/toss bc that's whatever but having the 4pc function as stated would be quite nice
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.
It's gonna be all buffs
I'm prepping boys
truee
if you want a better picture
Is this real
SUB IS SAVED
Why did assassination get so buffed
Frost DK got... Obliterated 
they are still a bit behind
Because assa always needs to be the top rogue spec
because tier set is quite bad
cause it was dog
added it
so even after this they will get buffed
frost dk bad reroll!
not for long
Inc
tier buff week 2
Replace it with Evis
If that
It'll be like day 2
lmao I might
you forgot buff week 1
Proper use of obliterate. 
Are people using it improperly 🤔
Real talk, I wonder why they keep buffing BP
Fdk spell
Are they looking at logs and not seeing it?
Do they understand why we seldom press BP?
I think Armin summed it up pretty well
armin said it a bunch of lines above
Oh did he
Sub AoE bad so buff Sub AoE to be less bad
I guess we are using BP in single target now.
bandaid to bad perfomance in aoe/keys
🥹
Oh I see it here #subtlety message
BP is their aoe tuning knob
It's the bandaidest of bandaids
same with nimble now
Glorious day of all the glory.
not yet
we are saved
😩
But what happens when subs aoe stays bad
But the day of glorious comedy is on the horizon
buff BP again
any bugfixes?
hard to imagine they're failing to realize that no the real issue but w/e
Buff Evis, duh.
Buff BP again
Always fancied using bp instead of evis yk

they got like another 20% worth of bp buff before that happens.
Any other solution would take more than thirty seconds to think about
but aqt that point maybe they spend some time
and fix the thing
instead of doing the easy buff bandaid
or just hope everyone switches to Assa
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
Half of the people here secretly play sin anyways
Haven’t we been hoping for fixes to be made since pre tww launch
here we are, 3 seasons later, bp has beenn buffed by almost 90% still ass
crazy
im telling u
i can see the future
Or they're like Armin 
Looking for BFA number of 2 or less
I think it’s safe to say we probably won’t see the spec fixed until another rework
Nah, there were def at least 3 'cos I played it the whole expansion
which wont come
And it still won’t get fixed then
At which point we will have new bugs that won’t get fixed
"He won't come"
probably
no reason to spend more time on it for now
The year is 2027. Sub has had four reworks. Shadowed finishers continues to not interact with anything, even itself.
enhance it is.
Can’t double down on realz specs
then u spend 25 minutes shuffling things around again
I’m glad some classes are enjoying hero talents
🏄 🏄♀️ 👍
But it’s been a huge problem for rogue
ST rotation now
Probably the worst thing to happen to us in a while
I mean idgaf about these changes tbh, they won't change anything
If nimble said all DMG and not normal
Best rotation guide in existance
That wouldn't be too bad
Maybe our dm stacking is even more cursed
I prefer sub and especially in raid, but sin just has damage every pack in M+. Otherwise I'd just play sub everywhere
Are they changes if they don’t change anything
youre noot enjoying the purple tiny x that took atleast 40 seconds to make? :c
Not me
nothing because we play trickster
How about our hidden coup animation?
At least we have that working now
unlikely actually
Welcome to storm first
I love playing a spec that was once so intuitive and smooth but now needs me to randomly insert irrelevant buttons to escape the game attempting to cuck my damage for seemingly no reason
We already bp at three targets if we have blade
btw 65% flurry is pretty nuts
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
You know what would REALLY be pretty nuts
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?
Another 5 buffs to BP
Not as trickster no
We can only dream
DS already wanted to bp at low target counts
in aoe?
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
see? we listening, we so good,youre welcome for the great changes
Makes sense ig
I hate to press backstab in dance, maybe that'll feel better
When you look at all the shit from the TWW and list it all out, it’s so depressing.
bruh it's rampage
why u think i quit?
It's cooler than rampage
lets say 2 targets, both have FW, isnt it more logical to spam BP now? of course, just talk atm, sims will come later
i saw this coming a mile away and pced out
understandable likely many silent ones were lost
even in df when they didnt know wtf was happening
I almost made it. Still may depending on dog training needs.
No, you’d still evis and keeping FW on two targets is improbable
I’m waiting to find out BP didn’t actually care about FW. 

do you guys think we will use BP on ST dance windows for macabre stacks?
BP def cares about FW
DM will probably never impact the rotation more than the stab premed
understandable
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
idk, if it was 2 target fight, would probably be better to go with the rotten to get 2 FW and spam black powder since nimble does not benefit buffs and most importantly extra 30% shadow dmg
I'm 99% sure I don't use BP enough when I play sub in M+. I need to hit the button more anyway
Probably not
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
Do we know if they fixed anything this go around
amen
Apparently nimble bugs are still there
it does.
how about a bp?
I care about fw
We all do
i want my shadowdust back 😦
I want tomb of sargeras DFA sub rotation back
Fw is peak immersion
class fantasy
absolute cinema 🙏
As a die hard outlaw player, Legion sub was the best rogue ever was.
Minus when DFA glitched on maiden and you flew across the room lol
I played Outlaw during Antorus though, because a 5 roll with the pantheon trinkets was hilarious
FW has been sub's centrepiece since cata 👍 🏄♀️ 🏄♂️
dfa is the only reason I'm considering legion classic at all
lost to time
like tears in the rain 😭
my beloved
DFA
Soooooo, big sub rework on the horizon ? 
assa look very strong too
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
tbf most damage amps are close or in execute
🤐 trickster tier must survive ptr
i too think this will be a sub raid angle
my main worry about assassination is target swap fights
Assa feels like playing classic when on ST tho
Target swaps are literally suicide for sin is also the issue
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
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
pillar boss and 2nd to last boss are my main worries
Same with the DH bosses
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
Sin just cleave off boss and make the evokers and locks do it
What do u mean cleave off boss
Like on one armed bandit
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
dh boss as ds assa or any ds is like silken court on steroids
Its way worse
ya
on mythic it was so cooked
If u play perfect DSM im sure it's "fine" but like bro
the overlaps
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
waiting for cooked assa build with double vanish to target swap.
you will play it
Or just play sub 
even if it is like 3% dps loss
cuz sub is better 
P sure sin is fine in raid
I love sub though so any opportunity to play it I will
like you go into the patch with a 12% damage buff
sub goes with it like 3%
imagine rn sin was 12% buff
I’m still expecting a late assa tier buff.
even as sub this fight is cancer with the whole charging shtick
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
devoker
We don’t want to press eviscerate
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
All our nimble flurry problems would be solved if they just buffed bp a few more times
Ye 20% more buff to bp please ))
I hope they just fix the bugs
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?
Glorified devo aura ahh
no 4pc fix yet
it buffs the first coup not second
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
does this impact anything at all
The more changes they add more bugs appear it is class design we are fine. Aura buffs and bp buffs always help )
We should pray every day that it took only 7 month ls to fix coup charge xD
BP buff, damn we're so back
The problem is not the numbers. It’s the playability and enjoyability of the class. Based off these patch notes… nothing changes. rogue is still in the trash.
We want more BP buffs.
Gonna replace evis in st at this rate 
That’s the goal

Can’t tell if the frost nerfs are bug
Sub is so fun rn wdym
The sub tuning classic, plus 5% bp damage
If that were true it would not be the 2nd lowest played class and spec in the game. Only above evokers
It’s low play rate has nothing to do with how fun it is unfortunately
It 100% does.
Sub has had a stigma of being “hard” to play and isn’t really meta for very long
It really doesn’t
Sub play style rn is much better than it’s been in the past
fun being subjective.
Even when sub was in its most fun states the play rate was abysmal
Rogue has historically been the least played class
What’s changed in 6 months?
there’s def some rough edges to sub, but people enjoy the burst / nothing cycle for the most part.
Nothing? I think the shadow dust change was before that
Still bipolar with fun shadow dance windows then super low out of shadow dance windows?
Yep
Yeah, that ain’t fun
This is better than having like 60% dance uptime
And having a flat line damage profile
We actually have burst now which is cool
that’s what sub has always been about unless there was an aberration of a tier set
Issues with sub are with the hero talents and some talent tuning
assa gives you more to do outside of CDs. Hell assa lets you do just about everything. Just move talents around.
backstabing with 0 energy for most of the fight isn't fun either in my opinion
They aren't correlary at all
Why do you care about doing damage outside of cds
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
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
Which I mean sure u can think that, but then why tf r u here
sub isn’t good in m+ because of its krangled AoE, not because of its dmg profile.
And also, who tf cares if it's popular or unpopular. The question is if it's fun or not
the less popular the better so I get all the daggers from raid
and fun is subjective.
hoover them bitches up
Get your free guild invite since recruiting rogues sucks
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
They’re not. They already had an aura buff and they basically made breath burstier.
unless you also play other classes
me being like "if we don't get anything ptr of midnight it's over" and still playing rogue anyway
breath duration nerf was absolutly warranted

well i mean we have been on a downward spiral since wod but rogue still trucks along
at least we are generally very durable
so the consolation dmg buff will be a net gain for a lot of folks I bet
yea skill issue buff
If I recall they had a 10 aura buff. I’m curious if 2h is still viable
last I was poking around acherus I heard murmurs 2h was going to be a thing
Popularity can be a good measure of whether the class is A. Good and 2. Fun to play.
For example ret paladins. Good dps but also fun. Looks at demographics.. oh it’s one of the most popular class specs in the game too.
also only dps spec for paladins to play
caveat
Idk what people who say rogue feels horrible to play even want
You know what’s not fun? Evokers. checks demographics oh it’s actually the only class in the game more unpopular than rogues
They don't want anything, they just want to complain
imo only feels horrible as DS and aoe
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
Ye leveling obviously sucks
i guess most people if they dont straight up quit
just go play something else that is not that tragic
idk blasting as a dragon was super fun
evokers actually overtook us for a time
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
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?
Has never been popular
Is that your prescription?
Its literally always been last or close to last
Energy isn’t a resource on sub
What they should give sub rogue is a talent called lithium which reduces the low point time in half.
Hooray for buffs, ST buffs next pls
I personally love energy classes, because its just potential damage. A lot of people hate not hitting buttons every second they can though
It's always been unpopular
Why though, then we just get nerfed
u got 5 months then
im happy with the buffs either way
It’s generally more fun to top st fights than aoe trash packs imo, but I’m not being too serious there
spec i like is stronk
Ye but my point is that sub ST is already solid
the gameplay is fine for the most part just rogue wont be fomo unless it is super top
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
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
I did ask this in sin channel a while back when they were perma bitching about sin btw (post rework). i got 2 responses, 1 saying KB does too much damage, one saying target swap sucks thats all. xD I think i agree with guy, most people bitch to bitch
Are you talking about now or how we’re looking in the next patch? I haven’t looked too much into how we’re looking in season3
I have my own reasons though.
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
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
Like straight up wrong bad and dumb
Sub rogue is in a more fun state now than before the rework that’s for sure
like the cd timers or why talents are spread like that
I would agree
I like spaghetti
Like for example, what the fuck is this guy talking about
But if I eat it every day for 5 years straight
most of those things gatekeep rogue a lot
I’m gonna get sick of it a bit
people dont even get to the point of having fun on the spec
if their damage is horrible until it clicks
in terms of talents its mostly the aoe thats cooked and the aoe gameplay. i dont really care about lack of talents otherwise.
Or antequated from BFA complaints
Yeah basically what I meant
rtb
I just didn’t emphasize
people wouldnt be complaining about sub as much if it was arcane level of op
You don't understand, pressing three buttons every 30 seconds is peak rogue gameplay
rogue in cata was very weird tbh compared to now
people cant imagine a 5 sec burst window
right now imagine
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
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
MoP rogue was just the better version of cata rogue
yea MoP was very good sadly sub was only very decent last tier kinda as always
And classic rogue almost didn’t function in pve
I’m surprised at how much I’m enjoying mop pre patch rogue
Yeah mop classic is final patch balancing
Feels wack to want to stack haste as sub lol
So sub rogue will be happy there at least
Personally losing sub funnel identity kinda bothered me, I thought it was fun
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
we also had 0 compensation and the azerites that came were so horrible
Then proceeded to give it to like 7 other specs
look at current dh :D:D
i will also never forgive blizz on the first dance rework azerite
the original one was so good
after the first buff
Idrk what’s going on with dh
Haven’t touched the class in a while
about to get nuclear funnel with s3 tier
even after nerf
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
I def think stuff like this is one of the reasons i was so bothered
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
Sub is great at having the single best burst CD int he game, not close
Big burst window is what's left, at least this is still kinda cool 😎
It's the defining strength of the spec that is going to carve its niche as the go to spec this tier
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
Being able to move around its small cds is also a very good niche
See bandit
I agree. I love it's burst. Just need a bit more DMG outside CDs imo.
yea moving dances will be more easy now too with more cdr
But thats not the identity of the spec
the identity of the spec is dropping a nuclear bomb
I just told you. They need to reduce the low point. Take the bipolar ness out of the class
wouldn't do the specc any harm to have some interaction with haste, having a dead stat isn't that good.
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.
i feel like these things feel to specific to make it a tangabile thing you can "feel" for most players. most times this never matters. giga burst is almost always w/e after week 3 when damage optimization isnt why boss isnt dying.
Idk thats what the entire spec is about though?
I mean sure you could press more 20k backstabs out of dance
Maybe that would make people like it more but idk
id rather have stronger dances
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.
reduce the time out of dance. Or give us somethign to do other than backstab... wait.. backstab... wait.. backstab wait
but i dont think anyones excited about once per expac being able to move 1 dance 5 seconds for extra pad
WW was tuned higher on the same CD as rogue yeah, but then WW got nerfed, and then sub was basically equal to it after that
Idk it literally happens all the time in keys
But ye high end skewed ig
I personally don't mind having giga low moments as long as I get giga high ones, can't have it all.
But this tier has damage amps, and subs damage being loaded into CDs is a massive boon
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
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
No niche in this entire game actually matters
the only thing that matters is tuning
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
niche needs to be something u can build a fantasy around it in your head.
it can be as simple as oh shit i press button my character bursts in fire looks dope
Well good thing sub is tuned competitively rn 
And also its niche is very easy to apply this tier
And its niche is extremely abusable
not that my niche is i can move dance b y 5 seconds, and get +5k overall pad
Agreed
I had a lot of fun on ptr
The spec is good, and the fights allow you to abuse the main strengths of sub
It's like, a perfect tier for sub
So far yea
I'm looking forward to it this tier
You're just gonna play sin when you need exe
Unless they nuke trickster/tier from orbit I’m happy with sub going into raid
Unless theres a new mugzee fight execute is borderline irrelevant
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
Fair
DSM Is also just dogshit on these fights to manage properly
That whole tree needs to be taken out back
I do too
(for sin)
Idk between the new set and shadowcraft it feels way more abrasive
Ah yeah idk about it with sin going into next tier
pillar boss, DH boss
Even last boss, depends on how the flying shit works
platform boss too
the dragon dude with the platforms
If you play sub, it’s a sub tier 
I'm laughing so hard at this
You say that every tier
werent you the outlaw guy? 😄
what happend
I play the fun spec
It also happens to be true every tier 
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
So based and true
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
I legit only play for the vibes in discord 95% of the time
So that black powder and nimble flurry buff lol
Me when the good spec gets buffed
If it means trickster is still ahead of ds, which it does, I’m happy
FDK and you can be a chill guy. 
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
back to 5%. Insta reroll
They were both ww season one and two so I’m surprised they’re switching now
Apparently they doom way harder than us. 
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
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 
That’s what bothers me about it
The answer is right there
But instead we get the bandaid
As Armin said, this ain’t the first time, won’t be the last.
I get why he said fuck this
Yeah it’s justified
really think the player base is just stupid
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
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
Someone had to spend a hour typing 81 words for the blue post. Likely need 2 weeks of PTO after this.
Hopefully they offer EAP
Not really. When there are iteration problems it’s normal to admit it as long as direction and/or intent is conveyed
If they wanted to fix aoe idk fix Sectech cap
fix flurry
4 more BP buffs and we Gucci
Or give us a trinket like boon. That trinket was funny lol
Bandaid probably faster to do than bugfix
Small indie company doing small indie company things
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 
I mean thats possible but its mostly just them not trying

great, id love to see more BP buffs
if that wasnt evident
imo 5 more BP buffs and we're living the good life
oh yeah i guess there's that
yeah nice
its like 2-3% aoe buff which is something ig
doesn't read as anything crazy
2-3% on dslice and like 5% on big cleave ye
btw sin tuning is also interesting
sin is just a bunch of bandaids
looks like they actually tunneled trying to make bleed build better
all except the envenom buff
yeah true
Its mostly just more St
forgot that effects bleed too
without making the aoe better
true
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
THAT WOULD HELP A LOT
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
i feel like these are really obvious changes man idk
sin -> buff single target without buffing aoe
Sim difference is about 5.5% between nightly and latest, but maybe there was item changes that wasnt in the notes
is it the most buffed ability in the game's history?
sub -> buff aoe without buffing st
But since nimble+BP was like 50% or so it should be around 5%

black powder buff
what a twisted reality, where BP closing in on evis in ST is a possible future outcome
for the hero tree we don't play
oh nimble buff nvm yeah
this is what happens when i try to have conversations with no coffee in me
i mean BP is still a button on trickster
Both are buffed by roughly the same amounts
and the more it closes in on evis, the more we're going to press that button
Technically bp slightly more, but not enough to actually matter
BP is not remotely close to evis on trickster
5 more buffs
based

deathstalker though....
ok lets calculationate that
for deathstalker its like 0.19 * 1.11 * 1.15
Assa buffs. 
yeah so about 75% on trickster
Momentum is slightly more than 15% though, as its 15% crit and very minor crit damage
and nearing 87% on ds
But ye
