some rogue nerd tell me what spec next tier

#

pretty pls

swift tinsel
#

Wait does he think killing spree cd is always 3 minutes and not affected by RB

upper narwhal
#

🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️

north schooner
#

I think he knows because he has mentioned it before

#

or he forgor

swift tinsel
#

Idk he brings up the 3mins all the time

north schooner
#

yeah it's pretty funny

tepid trellis
#

i do still play yeah

swift tinsel
#

Also he could have said one sentence and conveyed just as much info

#

Instead of six paragraphs of nothing lol

north schooner
#

it will become an ULTRA niche ability (used every 20s)

small juniper
swift tinsel
#

And acting like a 20% slow is entirely crippling

How do you do this persistently ? I can (with difficulty) got the two SD at 1:30, but there is no way I can get 2 of them at 3:00 if I keep doing 2 between Shadow Blades windows

tepid trellis
#

it shifts between 2 and 1 inbetween major cds

peak trellis
#

That make sense yeah ok, Thanks 😉

swift tinsel
#

Has the most braindead takes imaginable

#

Dudes got like 22k posts

vestal escarp
#

Uuuuh based?

swift tinsel
#

He’s a Find Weakness fan

#

And thinks sub needs it to survive

north schooner
#

22k posts in less than 7 years btw

swift tinsel
#

What the fuck

#

😂

north schooner
#

about 10 posts a day average

#

what is there even to talk about so much that you need so many posts? 🤔 🏄‍♀️ 🏄‍♂️

He has wild takes

i saw Eye of Kezan and House of Cards recommended but ik on my other chars Eye doesn't really scale well on short fights

#

should i pick up pacemaker for m+ instead?

Yep

#

hi, in light of the recent bp buffs does anything change on when we use it over evis target number wise?

tribal blade
#

it honestly annoys me i get this reference

#

i got in a few arguments with that dude until i just gave up and let him live in his own fantasy land

lilac stag
#

He’s fighting the good fight. kekw

tribal blade
#

he's definitely fighting a fight

#

not sure if it's good 😉

idle aurora
#

when doing underpn ?? do you only dance at the shield or should i try to squeeze dances in

#

or do i spend a few days leveling up a hunter ;/

#

I’m excited for sub next season

#

I just hope the aoe isn’t bad

steel zinc
#

Still pretty bad

north schooner
steel zinc
#

Sub is really great for that fight since you have forced downtime anyways to position the boss

cinder steppe
#

boss jumps on bran and wont move for a long while

#

but i did it as outlaw think sub is better

steel zinc
#

he will just follow you then

#

tank or dps is kinda weird

bright sundial
#

got a dumb question if they keep buffing bp will that somewhat nerf trickster in aoe or no?

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

They also buffed bp and nimble

tribal blade
#

BP overtakes nimble at quite a small target count already as trickster

bright sundial
#

oh dont we use bp after 7 targets?

tribal blade
#

it's 5 if they all have FW

hollow spear
#

= 5 fw targets
= 3 fw targets during blades

tribal blade
#

DS also has so many problems where it's just not worth running

#

thankfully it's not keeping up with trickster

bright sundial
hazy breach
#

Yep

bright sundial
#

wow from not playing sub for 2-3 months bp is like getting giga strong now?

hazy breach
#

Always has been

#

Since the start of the season that is

#

Its just dumb that evis and nimble is weak and buggy

bright sundial
#

oh ok casue last season it was at what 10+ or something like that now 5+ or 3+ with blades damn

#

so if ds wasnt shit to play our aoe would be even better with the crit talent or nah

hazy breach
bright sundial
#

no idea couldnt even think of a way

hazy breach
#

But the current way to play deathstalker aoe is to strike a new target once your mark reaches 1 stack to reset it to 3

#

So you get more clear the witnesses

#

And dont get DN, because it doesnt do anything

bright sundial
#

oh maybe make dn buff bp?

hazy breach
#

Yep but doesnt seem to be happening shrugeg

umbral topaz
#

Man that sounds cursed as fuck.... God fuck deathstalker, such a fucking shit hero tree

bright sundial
#

welp i tried sry guys

hazy breach
umbral topaz
#

Once i was full of copium, maybe actual rework in s3??
Now in down to "please delete hero talents in midnight"
Prolly wont happen tho copium

#

I pray for sub trickster supremacy in s3 tho

bright sundial
umbral topaz
#

Well not if you also count assa being a spec

hazy breach
#

Surely they bugfix nimble clueless COPIUM

clever delta
#

they already "did"

hazy breach
#

Not quite

clever delta
#

that was the best they could offer

idle aurora
steel zinc
warm marlin
#

black powder goes based off the number of targets with find weakness up, not how many there are in general

#

in the first dance it used rotten to spread fw

#

in the second it would normally also have done so but it got a bit confuzzled by symbols being pressed earlier, and backstab is higher priority as first builder of dance than 1 stack rotten shuriken storm (in the apl, prob would have rotten spread in real gameplay), so it backstabbed instead. then all the fw fell off

steel zinc
#

would it not be a dps improvement to storm then to apply fw in the 2nd dance?

#

Instead of bs

#

just pure aoe here

warm marlin
#

its a bit murky, eleem has mentioned rotten storm thing is maybe not worth it anymore and so you just black powder whenever fw is already up from storming

#

(i.e. from doing ruptures before cds or whatever)

#

but in my unsupported by data opinion ya u would want to rotten storm

steel zinc
#

Ok ty very much. ❤️

vale pine
#

good morning, what are we annoyed about today?

steel zinc
#

😄

vale pine
#

thats a waste of time to be annoyed about, i gave that feedback in BfA already and its now years after ^^

steel zinc
nova cairn
#

It’s just about a 3 expansion workaround time

lilac stag
#

the grass is green.
the sky is blue.
sub is perfect!

vale pine
#

because its an active part of the tree

#

subtlety to a degree suffers from the issue of low priorisazion

#

i assume the dev team labels it as "good enough" and as such rather spends time on one of the other specs

#

or classes

keen dome
#

Touch of the Magi would be a cool rupture

nova cairn
#

Yeah I guess compared to KS

#

It doesn’t actively kill you

vale pine
#

KS is the central spell of trickster, so it being poorly designed was a very important point

umbral topaz
#

We also did trash talk deathstalker a bit 👍

vale pine
#

which comes back to the initial statement

nova cairn
#

I saw casual yesterday do a DS sub key

#

It looked dire

vale pine
#

it should have been redesigned during beta

#

not at the lets say end of the xpac

umbral topaz
#

Well most of our entire hero trees shouldnt have made it out beta tbh

#

Yet here we are

vale pine
#

deathstalker is in need of change the most

keen dome
#

It's fine, we've got another beta coming up soon. Maybe they'll get fixed

vale pine
#

i still find it quite amusing

#

that its the talent tree the team took the most time on

#

as it was released last

#

and is one of the worse designed in the game

keen dome
#

I still think the moment it went live and everyone said "yeah that can't possibly work" was funny

#

Seconds of testing as either spec

umbral topaz
#

Well fatebound aint exactly great in any content either.... 😅

vale pine
#

i mean, it works for assassination

#

kind of

umbral topaz
#

But thats not a sub issue!

nova cairn
#

Its annoying when we have hero talents in this state

#

And we get tier sets around them

keen dome
#

When it first went live on the alpha, Assa couldn't realistically make it work either, no?

vale pine
#

hero talents look a lot like they are designed for a specific spec

keen dome
#

100%

vale pine
#

trickster looks very sub centric

#

fatebound outlaw

#

and deathstalker assassiantion

#

if you disagree, keep in mind that the more seperated nature of deathmark actually fits very well in the classical assassiantion design

keen dome
#

It's funny 'cos you can tweak one or two things on trickster, and name it something else and it's extremely fitting for a void / ethereal thing.

vale pine
#

so while its annoying, it kinda is like assassinations cooldowns ended up designed for most parts

north schooner
#

the fact that assa can get locked out of the mark makes me think that either they think people don't die (in game) or DS was with sub in mind

keen dome
#

Change Nimbleflurry to Shadowflurry, change it's damage to Shadow. Change Unseenbalde to Shadowblade and call it Shadestalker.

jaunty heath
vale pine
#

vendetta and similar spells are target centric too

#

it kinda fits the theme/design

jaunty heath
#

I wish deathstalker sub worked

vale pine
#

i mean it does

#

it just plays worse

jaunty heath
#

Ye but in a fun way

vale pine
#

as much a we hate on it

#

its something like 2-6% behind most of the time

jaunty heath
#

I liked DS on release

#

Even playing it, I had fun

vale pine
#

which is not significant enough to not play it

#

similarly

#

farebound on assassiantion is not that far behind, yet nobody touches it

jaunty heath
#

But ye then the mark thing happened and it’s just eh

vale pine
#

10.2 might make diffrences bigger

#

but we will see

#

I am fine with playing trickster, it feels the least bad

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Nimble sucks for a myriad of reasons but at least it's harmless and easy to play with

vale pine
#

from talking to some non rogue players who played subtlety, all of them wanted the spec to get modernized to a bigger degree. They espcially crisizize how you are energy starved in aoe and how punishing the spec is.

#

also the lack of strong aoe

#

its like

#

also how complicated everything is

#

so basically

#

exactly the points i asked realz to fix

#

haha

north schooner
#

maybe next expansion garf_sit

vale pine
#

I don't know

keen dome
#

Always have hope. There is always the chance we get critical fixes

#

like animations

vale pine
#

looking at the first dance

#

its hated by any non sub main

#

because of how unreliable and stupid it is designed with the 6 secs

#

yet

#

thats the literal state of the art the dev team designed for the spec

#

and thats scary

keen dome
#

TFD is close to being a really cool talent, too.

#

It's just another case of it not.. quite being where it should be.

vale pine
#

if they did not add the timer

north schooner
#

my hope is that they will touch sub as a result of wanting to make specs playable without addons. The whole situation with BP vs Flurry Evis rn is atrocious.

vale pine
#

it would have been a good/liked talent

#

but they specifically decided to add it

#

which is mindblowing to me

keen dome
#

Or just a shorter timer.

#

4s or something

vale pine
#

you take a good concept and say "lets add something that makes this 100x worse"

keen dome
#

Yeah

keen dome
vale pine
#

it reminds me on university

#

where we had a student who did put in his assignements written in cursive and dialect

keen dome
#

oh no

vale pine
#

for professors who did ask for unreasonably time consuming tasks

#

which basically did mean the professor needed noticable longer to decrypt

#

i just get the same vibes for tfd and subtlety, it feels like whoever designed it did not want to and as such added some additional annoyances

north schooner
#

the dev got ganked by sub rogues back when world pvp still existed and now they are taking revenge

#

I can't wait until we have to solve a wordle to do aoe damage

keen dome
#

tower of hanoi aoe mode

hollow spear
#

Doesn't tfd at least do what it says it does now?

#

I've heard that it does on PTR

keen dome
#

People have been saying it's better now, yeah

#

Which is exciting news

steel zinc
keen dome
#

Ye

vale pine
#

exactly

#

there is no reason for the timer

lilac stag
north schooner
#

what if their reasoning was that "well master of shadows is dogshit, so we have to equalise it somehow" and strapped a timer on it

vale pine
#

i think its simply

#

a pvp thought

lilac stag
#

yet they can just adjust it for pvp

north schooner
#

then the timer could've been pvp only though

lilac stag
#

and chose not to

steel zinc
#

like 1 or 2 second timer is w/e

north schooner
#

they already balanced it differently in pvp I think it's +3s instead of +4s

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

It works differently iirc

steel zinc
#

oh ok didnt know that

hollow spear
#

I feel like saying that the reason for stuff being meh is them wanting friction is simplifying it a bit too much

grand wyvern
#

sub may be one of the few specs that has more pvp players than pve

keen dome
#

It's a question I'd love to ask, amongst many. Why the specific delay on it, what was the design goal.

#

It'd be an interesting conversation imo

north schooner
#

you can ask it at the next rogue dev q&a garf_sit

runic trail
#

I'd like to see more comments explaining the rationale behind some decisions in general

keen dome
#

My other question would be "Why are poisons still a 60 minute duration and not a toggle also why are raid buffs not a toggle in general"

north schooner
keen dome
#

why is arcane intellect a 60m buff. Just make it a toggle

lilac stag
steel zinc
vale pine
#

its just my theory

#

i am sure there is no bad intention

#

but subtlety remains one if not the least played spec in the game

#

due to decisions like tfd design

runic trail
keen dome
#

It'd be such a huge QoL!!

lilac stag
#

they’re coded as a consumable, but one that can be added still with actual consumables. Don’t see a toggle happening.

You can’t stack wind fury and whetstones for example and wf is an hour, just like poisons, just like weapon consumables.

keen dome
#

In general, making all the raid buffs and stuff like poisons a toggle would just be good for the game. Skyfury, Arcane Intellect, Battle Shout, etc. So if you die and res, it's automatically back on.

keen dome
#

Which is why stuff like timewalking does weird shit to your poisons

#

Exactly like you say with windfury

lilac stag
#

I have a suspicion that it would be an incredible amount of code to change

keen dome
#

I imagine it'd be easier to rip it out and start again from the ground up.

#

But who knows what that'd cause

#

Poisons are probably one of those blackbox systems that nobody wants to touch.

lilac stag
#

Rogue is the black box

keen dome
#

Looking at WoW code would be really interesting

#

And I am eternally sad we don't get deep dives into how stuff works 'cos of the response always being so.. weird.

lilac stag
#

look at how you coded a website 20 years ago vs today. omegalul

keen dome
#

urgh don't remind me

#

Thinking about my web design lessons gives me psychic pain

lilac stag
#

I’m curious what percent of code from each expansion is still present in some form

keen dome
#

Same

lilac stag
#

thankfully sub is perfect every patch. Just like classic. #nochanges

steel zinc
#

@vale pine why is it with the next patch not worth it to maintain fw in 5 targets? So with storm for example since we will have more crit on our gear

north schooner
steel zinc
#

like it rather just presses evis in the 2nd dance

#

my question is wouldnt it make more sense to keep up fw in +5 targets

#

So with rotten we have 100% crit chance and can continue applying fw

keen dome
boreal otter
#

What will supposedly be our first crafted item next season? (In regard to the fact that an agi dagger can be dropped on the 2nd boss)

vale pine
#

outside of dance, its whatever

lilac stag
steel zinc
#

we killed the 2nd boss week 1 and it took us 4 weeks to get one dagger drop for two rogues

steel zinc
#

its like 200k dps increase

#

and you can force it by just doing keys and get it day one

keen dome
#

well that was anticlimatic. I guess I left it for ages so it wasn't hard

lilac stag
#

Nice. As sub or?

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Took me two tries

lilac stag
#

oh damn. You a bomb expert.

keen dome
#

I just waited for him to sheild -> pop cooldowns and nuke until out of dance. Then just focus on kicking bombs and living. Rinse repeat.

lilac stag
#

I still have to run it.

keen dome
#

I kept himc lose to the wall so cronies would spawn there near bombs so I could immediately kill their spawn

#

He goes to like, 60% if you full burst him at the start, too

lilac stag
#

got shammy aotc done last night

keen dome
#

Hell yeah, nice job

lilac stag
#

talk about button bloat. kekdog

keen dome
#

Haha

lilac stag
#

I have to try totemic still. Just been doing storm bringer. I like the theme better.

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's cool. I like the vibe

#

I bounced off mage at cap. Just don't enjoy it and I remembered mages are my arch nemesis

#

So I rerolled my alt to the cooler mage: warlock

lilac stag
#

our current shaman asked if I’m swapping. Said um no, rogue prison is a real thing. No one in guild is going to want to swap to it and adding another melee to the roster not ideal.

#

especially when we have 3 dps dks.

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Someone has to be there to collect the daggers that drop

lilac stag
#

which is what he’s swapping to

keen dome
#

Damn

lilac stag
#

it’ll be a backup if it insane like s1

keen dome
#

Oh, I also had a level 80 Brann. Which I dunno if it makes a real difference or not 'cos he got stuck in a wall for 60% of the fight and didn't do much

lilac stag
#

would be the only reason I’d seem them taking me off rogue.

keen dome
#

Ye

lilac stag
#

I have and 80

#

Which talents did you use?

keen dome
#

As Sub? Raid with TFD and EE.

lilac stag
#

on Brann

#

sorry forgot what they call them

keen dome
#

Oh, on Brann: healer with the robot dinosaur egg and the haste on mob kill one.

#

Robot dinosaur egg did nothing because he kept spawning it outside the arena because he was stuck in a wall, but the haste thing went up on crony kills so I had movespeed and haste the whole fight which is.. a thing

#

movespeed probably the real benefit

lilac stag
#

nice

#

The Dinos seem to troll a bit

keen dome
#

I tried with bioprinter the first time but it didn't proc once

lilac stag
#

damn

keen dome
#

unsure if I was just unlucky

lilac stag
#

Running enhance last night made me realize I have no idea what lust timings are in raid. I have legit never noticed them as Sub. OMEGAKEKW

keen dome
#

Haha

#

I only know them from raid leading

#

Most of it's just on pull these days

lilac stag
#

yeah just never thought about it for what 20 weeks? Haha

keen dome
#

Yee

#

I think that's all the seasonal stuff done now. Underpin, AotC, 3k .io, visions, duos, etc.

#

I guess the only one I'm missing is CE and that's never happening

lilac stag
#

Time to start RL prepping for Pug AOTC!

keen dome
#

Yeah, I gotta lead a pug next reset to get back into it

runic trail
boreal otter
#

Shadow Bolt supremacy

keen dome
#

If it has shadow in the name it should do shadow damage

boreal otter
#

Physicalstrike

steel zinc
keen dome
#

Ye, haha

steel zinc
#

Still funny cant do it with 680 😄

keen dome
#

I should've done it aaaaaages ago

steel zinc
#

reading comments on reddit about that challange is funny

keen dome
#

Yeah, I was surprised it only took me 2 tries. Probably a considerable amount of luck.

#

Just good spawns and bombs not bugging

steel zinc
#

yeah the bomb spawn you can influence but also a bit lucky

#

tbh I like that content more as raider then mindlessly pushing m+

keen dome
#

Bring back brawlers guild

#

Bespoke unique puzzle fights

steel zinc
#

I like any form of solo boss content

#

even thorgast at the end

#

the boss rush thing

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

Brawlers in MoP and WoD was some of my favourite content in the game

#

Even the social aspect of waiting for your turn

#

It was so well thoughtout

clever delta
#

is there anything worth dwarfing in new raid

#

im kinda tired of orc

hollow cobalt
#

Hi new to sub

#

is that good dps for an floodgate +12?

#

i seem far away from other ppl

#

but they were 684 ilvl

tepid trellis
#

well

#

you have a 2min cd trinket equipped on a 1:30 spec

#

so that kinda sucks

hollow cobalt
#

yeah i know i have nothing else atm

#

i'm farming house of cards every week

runic trail
#

If you run LFR once you shoudl be able to buy it with dinars?

hollow cobalt
#

i played outlaw before so i fcked my dinars...

runic trail
#

Ah, RIP

tribal blade
#

you also have too much haste and not enough crit

#

but as you said gearing yeah

hollow cobalt
#

thats what wow logs

#

says

#

seems not that bad with my gear then

random comet
#

Seems pretty good tbh

#

Given ilvl and trinket sitch

hollow cobalt
#

and crit

tribal blade
#

when you have 27%

hollow cobalt
#

patchwerk

tribal blade
#

oh don't sim statweights

#

sim topgear

hollow cobalt
#

why not

tribal blade
#

because there's no way you have 27% vers and you need to get more when you have 15% crit

random comet
#

statweights change everytime you change stats

tribal blade
hollow cobalt
#

i can maybe sim a restat on my crafted gear?

#

if i seam crit mastery

tribal blade
#

you can yeah

hollow cobalt
#

i see if they say i can get more

#

Sub is so fun to play

tribal blade
#

i would be very surprised if that sim didn't tell you to recraft to crit/mast

hollow cobalt
#

i rlly want to play sub s3 but everyone say it sucks in mm+

tribal blade
#

it's not great

#

but unless you're pushing the tippy top keys it doesn't matter

#

every single spec in the game can do 10-12s easily

#

sub is "not great" but you can use it in most high keys still

hollow cobalt
#

i mean i don't wanna do only 12s

#

maybe higher keys also

#

but i don't pretend to do R1 keys

#

so i think

#

every spec are able to

tepid trellis
#

sub can do title keys just fine

hollow cobalt
#

push like 17

tribal blade
#

yeah sub is more than capable of that

hollow cobalt
#

vers mastery

#

crit versa

#

so they don't ask me to replace my gear for more crit

#

only craft the bracers i don't have

tribal blade
#

i'm not a big raidbots person, but it says there your simc is out of date

#

and it might not be working properly

tepid trellis
#

stats is and always will be a balancing act

#

which is why you dont do statweight sims

#

but sim the gear pieces themselves instead

hollow cobalt
#

i did a droptimizer

#

if a restats my boots

#

i loose dps

tribal blade
#

you can do this in top gear

hollow cobalt
#

but a lot of things can interact

tepid trellis
#

yeah its within margin

hollow cobalt
#

maybe its because i have a shitty trinket and no jastor

#

then more versa result to bigger burst window

#

idk

tepid trellis
#

well the way signet works

#

is kinda messing with stats

hollow cobalt
#

i sim patch or dungeaon?

tepid trellis
#

depends on what you wanna sim for

hollow cobalt
#

dungeon works on sub?

tepid trellis
#

yes

tribal blade
#

sub will end up being mostly the same between the 2

#

you can kinda just go vers/mast, get some crit and you're 95% of the way there

hollow cobalt
#

i also need to farm peacemaker i think 671 is better than Wax whistle 684

tribal blade
#

most likely yeah

#

pacemaker will be especially good with your current gearset because you have very low crit

hollow cobalt
#

yeah i need to sim it

#

i think wax whistle is maybe better in st

#

i mean 684 wax whistle better in st instead of peacemaker 671

weak bridge
#

Imagine if we had dfa

#

I long for the days

tepid trellis
#

time for your pvp adventure

weak bridge
#

I’ve tried

#

Good enough to easily get 1.8k and dip

#

Cba to have 3 keybinds one spell for 1,2,3 or w/e

hollow cobalt
#

thats what top gear said

hollow cobalt
#

whats the rule on cp in sub? 5or+ or always send at max cp?

tepid trellis
#

6+

hollow cobalt
#

if i shadowstrike i'm at 5 i shadowstrike again?

tepid trellis
#

yep

hollow cobalt
#

okok

#

sometimes i got refund cp

#

can i track this?

#

or its random?

#

i don't find any talent that talk about

tepid trellis
#

its the talent called shadowcraft

#

and it works off of shadow technique stacks

hollow cobalt
#

so if i have 7 stacks shadowtechniques

#

then next finisher is refund?

tepid trellis
#

suring symbols yes

#

during*

hollow cobalt
#

okay

#

now i understand

lilac stag
wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

grab the sound trigger

hollow cobalt
#

oy yeah

#

nice thanks

lilac stag
# hollow cobalt nice thanks

there’s also a FW target count with BP condition floating around. Search @swift tinsel posts over the last 2 weeks.

hazy breach
#

In practice using the storm feels better imo because reacting to the amount of find weaknesses you have does not feel good at all

lilac stag
#

@vale pine can you add that to !wa

brittle plinth
#

It's really good

vale pine
tribal blade
#

i've always found reducing mental load on your rotation in keys through whatever means usually nets more damage

#

no guess work if i walk into a pull knowing i'm gonna storm with rotten to proc FW on all targets 😉

#

and can use my eyes to look at other stuff

#

but i should still pick up that WA, looks sick

keen dome
#

Ye, same, I should slot it into my rogue stuff

swift tinsel
#

Lmk if you find any weird features with it

#

Tried to make it as straightforward as possible in and out of blades

hazy breach
#

Most notable when you have coup up already

#

Or i guess you want to storm after coup now anyway, so its just meh

tribal blade
#

thank god

hazy breach
#

Surely they fix the nimble bugs COPIUM clueless

#

Its only ~20% nimble dmg thats missing and it not working with blades garf

swift tinsel
#

there was a little weirdness with the flawless form condition but it should be all fixed now

honest yacht
#

Kind of new to sub this expansion. It's feels so amazing during CD windows but feels almost like I might as well stop attacking in between. Am I doing something wrong?

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

What

vestal escarp
#

Rotten fix

#

Storm into all the ubs you want

swift tinsel
tepid trellis
vestal escarp
#

Someone confirmed storm doesnt eat both rotten stacks

vale pine
#

!wa

vestal escarp
#

Yes

#

Now we can play rotten as storm into strike strike

#

Without it being a glorified silent storm

#

And screwing over disorienting strikes

vale pine
#

nice

hazy breach
#

But storm doesnt proc unseen anyway

#

Idk what youre trying to say

vestal escarp
#

That your not screwing disorienting strikes anymore to play around the rotten bug

#

You can storm as first builder before sectech

#

And still buff the next strike

astral axle
vestal escarp
#

And you're not delayign coup

#

And the rotten strike can actually benefit from surprising strike, cause you often times it happens you rotten strike a new trash that isnt fazed

hazy breach
#

Well surprising strike and lethality doesnt cleave anyway garf_sit

vestal escarp
#

Not even the bonus from surprising?

#

Thats big

#

Bruh 50% on strike HOLY

swift tinsel
#

they could have been fixing it at any time in the last year+ but rets weren't shiny enough

lilac stag
dry plank
#

Nimble bugs does not impact your gameplay just eats shit ton aoe damage while rotten does in some way impact gameplay

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

So like ye its not directly impacting the rotation, but as a result the optimal play shifts due to the bugs

dry plank
#

Are devs even aware of this bugs at all and their impact? ))

swift tinsel
#

yep

clever delta
dry plank
#

Buff easier than fix ))

clever delta
#

If its for rogue, it's best they can do

dry plank
#

But there is easier fix = delete

clever delta
#

Imagine being mage thing

#

If it was for mage, Microsoft would lock them in their offices not allowing leave before fix

dry plank
#

Interesting why

clever delta
#

Well mage is blizzard princes with big community

dry plank
#

Is it big though?

clever delta
#

I think so

dry plank
#

Seems like not that big no? lol more than us

#

Little difference

north schooner
#

you are looking at all levels instead of max, and even max level isn't a very accurate indicator because of abandoned alts

#

this is max level for instance

pliant topaz
hazy breach
#

Ye seems like it cleaves before those are applied

pliant topaz
#

its not only that... even things like shadowed finishers... half the time things dont work on it, becuase they are going back and adding it to the list of things to get buffed. whereas it could just be made to be a % of the physical hit + all its calculations, its easier for us to understand, and for them to implement

#

its less buggy etc.

#

but isntead every patch we gotta get mr Eleem to go in and be like surprised pikachoo face it doesnt work with shadowed finishers

brisk onyx
pliant topaz
#

and like whats insane to me is it takes prob very little to do this fix too... u can litearlly go ask claude 4 to go find all instances of this and fix it and document it, then spend like 3 hours reviewing the changes. then when it goes live, if therre are more bugs left, fix those in a next patch (they already do this anyways so nothing lost here_

hazy breach
#

They have more important work to do (fixing mages)

pliant topaz
#

Insanely based

keen trellis
#

Is there actually a list on all the bugs?

oh my god I just saw the pin

they went and did it didn't they. another buff to black powder? who asked for this!?

It was me!

I mean, I jokingly say that's what they're going to do but I sure as hell hope they didn't think that's what we really want

wraith sphinx
#

i think we should all just start pretending that we love BP

#

this will manifest a patch note where they buff evis damage by 20%

the change is too insignificant to matter

Haha outlaw now rogue tier 3 spec

having sub channel above outlaw messes with my brain

im aware

I didn't even have to look at tuning

It's just

Every season

I'm used to it now

I very much like sub in prog tho

Hate it for reclears

what is it 1M prompt a day or somethign

pliant topaz
#

my friend works at xbox

#

and msft is basically forcing them all to use it

#

and theyre monitoring their usage adnd going over it during their 1 on 1s or w/e

#

my other friends at amazon and same

#

my company doesnt use it as much because theyre a hedge fund and confidentiality and stuff but yea

dry plank
#

Latest research showed that by people feeling it increase speed of development but actual data said opposite xD

#

Just like feelcraft vs Simcraft xD

pliant topaz
#

do you have the research?

#

becuase i doubt theres any available/ public data that actually shows that

#

like my own personal projects have sped up too

dry plank
#

I have same feelings of speedup but only in certain tasks

#

In general it is not

pliant topaz
#

guess we'll see in the long run

keen dome
# pliant topaz do you have the research?
pliant topaz
#

yea he sent it to me. looking at it now

keen dome
#

Coo'

pliant topaz
#

but also their sample is 16...

#

idk

leaden prairie
#

Fake af tho, I use ai a lot at my work as a dev and it's quite obvious how much faster I have gotten

pliant topaz
#

^

#

also this is claude 3.5

#

claude 4 is like 15 times better

leaden prairie
#
  • Im a noob and it helps me learning stuffs I didn't know how to do before

So I'm not as limited by my lack of experience

pliant topaz

its not even about being noob or not though.

like legit giga senior devs use it

all the tiem

what do we do differently with the new tierset? We just storm when we proc the 4p?

jovial ingot
jovial ingot
pliant topaz
#

for sure

#

10x engineer -> 100x enginner type shit

leaden prairie
#

ye prolly idk

#

just taking from my own experience as a noobie

#

it helps tremendously

jovial ingot
#

Does it though?

#

Like sure you can build shit

#

But what are you missing?

#

What are you not learning?

pliant topaz
#

well i think the idea is nice for it

#

like instead of having to do the manual work of writing the code that parts done for you

#

and you do design

#

which is a more creative, interesting, and more impactful task

jovial ingot
#

And how to cover

#

There are N ways to idk, build authentication

#

A lot of them are shit

#

Some AI suggestions are shit

#

And you wouldn’t know unless you had dealt with them before

pliant topaz
#

true, but youre not relying on it for the design, and to understand the design you dont really need to know syntax for example.

#

you need to understand concepts

jovial ingot
#

Some are good, but don’t fit your business bla bla bla

pliant topaz
#

so like, int he short run itll be bad for most junior devs cuz they get cooked because all they know is basic code and not design

#

but in the long term, i think a devs job just becomes creative design

#

which is a nicer world to live in for them imo

jovial ingot
#

Which it already is ngl

pliant topaz
#

eeh

#

not for junior devs

#

like right now in my job, i design models, and test them in python/r. but the implementation is in c/c++ by another team.

desert bolt
#

ah I see ty

pliant topaz
#

but like, do i need to know how to do their job to create a good model? not really

#

i dont know shit about locks and keys in c but thats fine u know wha tim saying

jovial ingot
#

Different things but yeah

#

Your job is designing

#

Their job is optimizing/zero latency type shit

pliant topaz
#

yeah exactly, but the optimization/ data integrity/ w/e is a pretty manual task that a ML model can do well

#

so those people will also move on towards more design jobs

#

eventually

#

not now

#

but yea

#

but yeah im lowkey giga scared and so are my friends

#

its just time to move on and start your own business xd

foggy egret
#

kk thanks

leaden prairie
#

i think it might be a bit different for future/current gens tho that actually have no way of learning how to problem solve and shit

#

cause they were born with ai

#

bit different i think

steel zinc

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
steel zinc
#

Does Coup de Grace work with shadowed finishers and blades?

#

Wasnt that bugged too?

hazy breach
#

It works

#

Its finality thats bugged

#

And only buffs the first hit

sick jackal
#

Shadowed finishers and something works I am surprised

hazy breach
#

Well it didnt work initially

steel zinc
#

ya

#

thought so

#

When was that fixed?

hazy breach
#

Beta

steel zinc
#

how much is the blades not working with nimble part?

#

aoe

hazy breach
#

Like 3% dungeon overall

steel zinc
#

so in theory they could fix it by just buffing it more I guess? Like they did this week

#

Which is also weird

hazy breach
#

Yes

runic trail
hazy breach
#

No

runic trail
#

Okay fair

hazy breach
#

If you have finality up it buffs the first hit

#

If you dont have finality up it buffs the second hit

runic trail
#

I thought for some reason the second coup had bonus damage to it, I'm apparently misremembering things.

hazy breach
#

Its the last hit that does the most damage

rotund pawn
#

will there be any optimizations to get 2nd coup with supercharged point consistently? is that even possible with nature of unseen blade being rng

warm marlin
#

the tier doesnt even buff the second coup it buffs the first

#

because tooltip lies

hazy breach
#

Sectech does more per combo point anyway

#

So youll be priotizing supercharging sectech no matter what

steel zinc
#

easy to fix tooltip then actually fixing it

steel zinc
#

We need god. Not even monk buff can make that up 😄

#

We need another 5-10% buff please

north schooner
random hare
#

Its good in raid and low keys

#

So

#

That wont happen

#

Buffing sub will get sub nerfed because it’ll be way too op in raid

#

Issue with sub is spec design and idk why i have to spend an hour explaining to people who say sub is op or if its good enough for high keys

random hare
#

casual is also bottom dps in dawnbreaker, best 1-1.5min dungeon

Every other rogues are washed up rerollers

I dont recall anyone playing rogue now

Other than me and zac

casual fully rerolled dk?

james as well?

James and casual on dk ye

paper iron
#

what about wox / shindi and people like that

random hare
#

Idk i never saw them play on the same level no offense, cool guys

#

Wow is losing these top players every now and then anyways

#

Jpc was for sure a legend in the rogue scene same with ramfam

#

Ivaz was great but he isn’t playing m+ anymore

#

He still raids tho

#

Can’t think of anyone else really its sad because blizzard is treating this class like dog

paper iron
#

Imo

#

M+ are becomming lame

#

i cant say why

#

it just doesnt feel like it used in bfa / sl

hollow spear
#

Shindig has a higher rio than you rn, Zeross

#

Not sure if you can say he's not on your level

paper iron
#

and rogue is such in need of love, they just let it die whole seasons

#

for fun

#

we re not talking IO

#

we re talking mecanically as an individual

#

if he thinks so, well for him

hollow spear

That's hella subjective

it indeed is

clever delta
#

look at those io warriors

#

so funny

paper iron
#

anyway it s not about ego talk at base

#

i kinda join the "m+ers are ruining the game" this couple last seasons

#

but anyway i quitted so

#

idc happy_holiday_pepe

random hare
#

M+ isn’t about individual skill at all

paper iron
#

yea it s not at all anymore

#

it used to

#

to me

#

everyone goated at his specs and works route for their comp and all

random hare
#

I boosted a few ppl to 3.9k this season that ask me to hide their identity 24/7

#

Which i find quite funny

paper iron
#

now it s everyone the same comp the same route and deal with the same aoe cc chains

#

gg

random hare
#

Because alot of ppl suck up there

#

Even at the top 0.0001%

#

But none of the rogue guys are boosted anyway

#

Only guy i dont know is the korean one

paper iron
#

you dont play rogue if you wanna get boosted

#

you just reroll fotm

#

and buy it

random hare
#

Ya

paper iron
#

unless you re a certain war that do 2000 keys per seasons

#

but i wont say his name

random hare
#

U realize hes still way behind right

clever delta
#

i mean zac spend in keys more time than i do in work

paper iron
#

iykyk

#

yet he still does a third of what this war dude do per season

#

trust me

random hare
#

Ngl like

#

Up to the point where i stopped pushing

#

Im certain i played the game the most out of everyone

#

In return im giga burned out

paper iron
#

i was pushing 24/7 for like a month, then stop, then come back the 2 last weeks of the season

random hare
#

Our healer quit so it was gg anyways

paper iron
#

and did that every seasons

#

people pushing 24/7 a complete season

#

are madman

Or on weekends

I pushed since day 1 ptr

send me ptr s3 io

or no invite to my +4

you have team finally btw?

i do not follow your m+ adventures that closely

they go kinda hard

swords that are glaives

yes please

random hare
#

I don’t think anyone can surpass meta comp anyway

#

They have alot of extra util

clever delta
#

im happy that sub is ok in keys

#

so i dotn need to swap between specs for keys

#

during progg

leaden prairie
#

With porsea

clever delta
#

like woxis

leaden prairie
#

Ye but the better comp

#

The one with all the buffs

#

He is playing the scuffed comp without shaman

#

Well his comp is probably better next tier looking at hunter tho kekw

hazy breach
#

Ye surely hunter stays like this clueless

hollow spear
#

They better not garf_sit

clever delta
#

they just reworked MM, reworked classes usually stay good longer

hollow spear
#

There's good and there's a bit too good

warm marlin
#

they rework mm every patch omegalul

tepid trellis
hollow spear
#

MM has already been top most of this patch

#

At least in raid

clever delta
#

assa was kind broken for couple weeks

#

remember having PI too

#

yeah would be kinda akward if hunters be on top two tiers in row

tepid trellis
#

didn't stop them from ignoring Dev doing the same thing this patch

random hare
clever delta
#

dev a hunters are only outlines rn i think?

random hare
#

Sub always has x amount of dmg going on no matter what

#

Where as sin has very good constant dmg that never changes

clever delta
#

im doing keys only to gain gear, i do lot of keys first couple weeks of season naturally

#

but never pushed

random hare
#

And casual was telling me sub is good in dawnbreaker when hes bottom dps on every pack

#

It just sucks in high keys no matter if the cds line up or not

clever delta
#

he put too much trust into nimble

random hare
#

I keep saying sub is bad because i pushed alot on it

#

While literally no one did

clever delta
#

3 hunters 3 mages 😄

alpine wraith
#

sub cds are not impactful enough for high m+

#

but it is kinda ok for raid because encounters are not super long

leaden prairie
#

and in st he burst to like 7 mil dps

#

he does do lower overalls than the other 2 in the ends

#

but he can def one shot a pack

proper latch
#

And what if he does not one shot a pack

#

On high key

leaden prairie
#

well if you start a pack at 30mil dps

#

you wont end up at 10 by the end of it

#

so its alright

#

could be worse

#

But 1min30 cds is a bit weird

#

For keys

hazy breach
#

Whats hunter now

#

1 min? 2 min?

leaden prairie
#

No idea

#

2 min probably

The solution is to play the spec without cds 👍

surely they fix the nimble bugs COPIUM clueless

north schooner
#

MAAAN sure they will bugfix

chrome palm
#

they get cdr and their tier reduces trueshot cd

alpine wraith

like hunters do explosives

you rng to proc FW to BP at an even lower target count, it's almost exactly the same garf_sit

no

#

im idk

I wouldn’t be surprised if sin does higher burst than sub even

Sub burst is so fake in m+

#

Its crazy

leaden prairie
#

i do unity dev for a company that does software for vr headset

#

and i do some web dev stuffs

That's why you can do complex WAs, I see

leaden prairie

well that and because i dont mind putting the time in

steel zinc

but sure

you know sometimes its just about looking for stuffs

Taking the time to think about a solution

You don't have to know how to do something to do something

wow sub in cds is so good hes doing hunter dmg

#

just -5m dps during cds right after sectech
