#

ust not on rogues besides 11.0.5

fleet wharf
#

are they basically giving up on aug being a support class now? they just seem to be getting aura buff after aura buffs

tribal blade
#

aug is still a support class, but it losing the power to buff healers and tanks makes it much less good in keys

#

but with enough tuning they. could be good again

#

aug still brings a lot of utility and stuff, so with big enough numbers they could be played again

slate marlin
#

Any class with giga numbers will be played in m+

fleet wharf
#

I dunno how to feel about more of their budget going towards their own damage vs buffing other classes

#

yea, utility doesn't matter at all for M+ it seems

tribal blade
#

it does and it doesn't

slate marlin
#

Utility matters if you are tied with another class on dps

fleet wharf
#

i mean if you look at assa, it was somewhat meta, nothing about their utility changed, and bam, no invites for rogues s2

tribal blade
#

boomy is super meta atm because of utility

#

they make certain pulls actually possible because of beam and all their cc

#

it's interesting, people tend to not invite boomies because "we need dmg", it's always "we need beam"

#

(but boomy does very good dmg too)

slate marlin
#

boomie dmg is quite strong as well

#

would argue its meta bc of utility+damage

tribal blade
#

and then you get vdhs who links priory routes designed for boomies with like 6=7 casters in the first pull when they arrive in phys comp

fleet wharf
#

uncapped aoe be good, who knew

tribal blade
#

and everyone has to be like "yeah we can't do that, we'll all die"

slate marlin
#

I get they use casters to limit how big you can pull

fleet wharf
#

I feel they need to give aoe kick to all the tanks

slate marlin
#

I dont like they still do that with the cc changes they did at the start of the xpac

graceful osprey
tribal blade
fleet wharf
#

maybe we can sneak in there with aoe kicks too lmao

tribal blade
#

or some variation of aoe kick for every tank

#

vdh has it, so does prot warr, prot pal has toll

fleet wharf
#

is vdh going to be meta again for 11.2?

tribal blade
#

the other tanks should probably get something similar

#

brewmaster the most tbh

slate marlin
fleet wharf
#

but prot pally's toll isn't guaranteed I thought

tribal blade
#

yoda said he hates playing brew or any tank like that because he can't help out his group

slate marlin
#

tank utility is a mess yeah

swift tinsel
#

Wym toll isn’t guaranteed

tribal blade
#

i thought toll was guaranteed kicks, i could be mistaken

near fog
slate marlin
#

its either vdh or pala

graceful osprey
slate marlin
#

toll silences mob iirc

swift tinsel
#

It did

#

Idk if something changed

slate marlin
tribal blade
#

so is toll capped

#

or do all 5 of those sheilds bounce

swift tinsel
#

All five bounce iirc

slate marlin
#

bounces i believe

tribal blade
#

i legit don't know how toll works lol

#

ah ok so it is guaranteed kicks on everything i guess

near fog
#

doesnt shield only interrupt on its first hit now or something? thought that was a DF change?

slate marlin
#

i think is 5 shields all of which can bounce

slate marlin
#

bc i have definetely seen way more than 5 shields on a toll cast

glacial wind
#

Yay i got my set done! :)

swift tinsel
#

The first target hit is interrupted, none of the bounces do

swift tinsel
#

Unless they changed something recently

slate marlin
#

Idk

swift tinsel
#

There was something with grand crusader

#

But idr what

slate marlin
#

i dont know anything about paladin

tribal blade
#

it's still really good, the last time i ran priory with a prot pal he had 90 overall kicks

#

which is a lot

fleet wharf
#

90 is pretty nuts lol

slate marlin
#

ye but prot pala on 1st boss...yikes

swift tinsel
#

I usually only play holy if I’m playing paladin

tribal blade
#

which is sad days for sin

#

BUT

#

he can solo soak all the thingies on 2nd boss

slate marlin
#

Yep, plus all the kicks on a quite intensive kick dungeon

tribal blade
#

not even kidding, this guy was just eating it all and the dps didn't have to do shit

#

it was glorious

fleet wharf
#

Spell warding is such a bs skill

slate marlin
#

idk i have not seen many palas this season

tribal blade
#

but word of glory heals for nothing now

#

which is weird

#

like 2 mil average cast

slate marlin
#

granted i quit 2 months ago

tribal blade
#

so prot pals have to be babysat quite a lot right now on live

#

because their self sustain is pretty doodoo

slate marlin
#

That hasnt changed on ptr right?

tribal blade
#

from what i heard they still need to be babysat yeah

slate marlin
#

so vdh meta got it

tribal blade
#

but sometimes tanks that need to be babysat by healers can become the meta tank

slate marlin
#

If they have something needed for dungeons i guess

tribal blade
#

i think if they bring enough other stuff yeah

#

but generally the best tank will be the one who can actually live

slate marlin
#

But current vdh exists

tribal blade
#

it'll be interesting to see what happens

short radish
#

only the first hit interrupts

#

the bounces don't

#

because having an aoe interrupt on a 1min (or 45 second) cd would be overpowered or something

slate marlin
#

Idk vdh seems to live quite well, and has strong mob control

slate marlin
#

I wonder if we will have the same 5 class meta this season

fleet wharf
#

I mean weren't there 2 different "meta" you could build? like the DK/boomie or the phys comp?

slate marlin
#

Didnt phys comp gain populsrity a bit later?

#

Like when people had already rerolled and stuff

#

i actuslly dont remember

tribal blade
#

yeah phys comp started gaining popularity mostly because of squishvegan's group

#

with ortemist/nox/wox/banshers

#

so going into this season people are already prepping to play phys comps at the start

#

it's going to be much more popular next season

slate marlin
#

yesh i remember some phys comp groups in lfg, but nowhere near the amount of dk boomie comps

slate marlin
tribal blade
#

so long as rogues are tuned well

fleet wharf
#

I mean it seems competitive, give it some time, maybe next season there might be two diff meta comps that get played

slate marlin
fleet wharf
#

but aren't hunters super tanky right now?

tribal blade
#

at least they're less squishy than they used to be 😉

slate marlin
#

that speaks a lot lmfao

tribal blade
#

they did gain tankiness with their rework from what i heard

slate marlin
#

yep

fleet wharf
#

they have a self/pet heal, 30 or 40% dr on 1.5 min cd, 2 charges, and an immunity in turtle stance

#

they usually don't press defensives, but that's playerbase issue

slate marlin
#

hmm if people play monk and rdruid i guess you would need a hunter for bl

wary plover
#

@vale pine are u simming now with Rashii dmg buff?

vale pine
#

wdym

#

the sims are with the legendary back

wary plover
#

they buffed the dmg tonight

#

I dont know how its works, if u have to implement it as custom or if it is auto implemented

covert storm
#

is there any considerations to be aware of with double coup on ptr/ do i want to maximise for ff stacks before i press dance or do i want to coup inside of dance since it does so much damage?

shadow snow
#

!fuu

wary plover

for outlaw seems it is already implemented, for assa and sub cuz u did them yesterday it isnt

Like 2nd s3 are nearly w/e just don't have haste

#

Also Also we have some cooked delve trinkets

lilac stag

burnt and useless cooked

bronze hatch
#

Yeah sin will show the higher hit so someone reading logs or details will likely tell you it hits harder, but sub gets to say “well ackshyually” about their one big hit that’s 3x what it looks like ig

steel zinc
# vale pine yes

The cloak was 15k or? Where did we gain the other 85k in Sims over night?

bronze hatch
#

Sub is the “well acshyually” spec

vale pine
#

wdym 85k?

#

i only re-run the sim^^

ye

Like you can prestack it and force it to proc during ur opener

#

Yes Degen but that's our spec

bronze hatch
#

Just proc it while you’re stacking flag

#

Why all this effort

steel zinc
#

It's like 20k behind mythic pacemaker and it's just hc

#

That thing is bis

Or let's say progress bis

just get lucky with your vaults bro

steel zinc

#

I wont enter delves.

#

Hm how so?

steel zinc
#

You can get more maps to get hc items

vestal escarp
#

Ah yes

wheat edge
#

also hero track items = champ track items

vestal escarp
#

Yeah id rather spam roll floodgate end chest

steel zinc
#

Also not doing delves the week the Patch Hits is griefing since the day m+ raid opens you get your first s3 vault

#

S3 in meaning tier

vestal escarp
#

The vault you open on 13th is s2 rewards

steel zinc
#

But I also do pvp to get the targeted versa items

steel zinc
#

It isn't its s3

wheat edge
#

the vault on 13th can be hero track delve / m0 stuff

#

the vault on the 6th is s2 useless gear

steel zinc

Great vault credit Begins

watch Eleem loot it from the first map he gets

steel zinc
#

The void fragment trinket is really good it gives your 30k mastery and atm your running on live between 20-25k

hollow spear
#

since we're also getting rid of hoc it gains some value

steel zinc
#

And you can cheese it prepull prekey etc

bronze hatch
hollow spear
#

not going to be big, but I suppose that's where DR might actually be somewhat noticeable

#

I'd be surprised if they didn't get rid of that prepull stuff before the patch

#

or with the patch

steel zinc

Even with Dr when procced it was 60% of my mastery

@vale pine can you turn of the Dark link until its current?

I didn’t check light and wouldn’t have known.

i can just add it to the dark one

or just add a disclaimer.

No one will read that. Lol

the go to spec is some warlock spec i guess

I’m waiting for the “do you have a backup toon if rogue tuning is bad?” from melee officer

leaden prairie

and elem

short radish

yeah but rogue is a mandatory (de)buff

leaden prairie

that is needed for raid

im sure they're just saving all the rogue notes for the last week

we would be stracking rogues

im kinda amazed that no one has bothered to do that

even once

lilac stag

i know the debuff doesnt affect everything

but it affects most things

I’m just waiting to be told everything is fine. It doesn’t matter we’re 500k+ behind everything. Again.

ye i mean

thats outlaw sim

so

peeposhrug probably because its easier to perform on it, patchwerk is not the be all end all

#

encounter design might favor certain aspects

e.g. execute on assassiantion

#

I really think they just toss random shit at outlaw and sub to make it look like we haven’t been completely forgotten. otherwise wtf does assa get everything.

#

Their penance is dealing with DM

wheat edge
#

like yeah the biggest problem (as with all rogue specs i guess) is the hero talents

short radish
#

multspec hero talents were a mistake

#

i get what they were trying to do

#

but they failed

#

and that's okay

#

sometimes you try your best and it isnt enough

fleet wharf
#

I mean other specs have cool hero talents, I dont think the concept itself is no good

wheat edge
#

fury warrior hero talents basegcat

lilac stag
#

it is no good when you don’t have time to actually complete them ALL

fleet wharf
#

yea that's actually a pretty fair point

lilac stag
#

if your concept can’t be completed it’s shit

fleet wharf
#

but smol indi game company

#

under new management

lilac stag
#

and that’s spec development for at lease 30% of the specs

#

rogue got the full short end on all hero talents

short radish
#

i mean deathstalker would be kinda cool if it wasnt attached to the mob like we're still playing with combo points on target

lilac stag
#

Our hero talents are close to ignore sub rogue post combo bfa levels of attention.

lilac stag
#

just fixed that problem.

wheat edge
steel zinc
lilac stag
#

They take the friction to extremes. Use a 1-2 charge cd? Nope. Have fun with vanish.

vale pine
#

keep in mind gear levels are also diffrent and kill times

#

during wfr

#

and progression

#

the sim value is mostly a end of season value rather than start of

wheat edge
#

but also at the end of a season most bosses just get nuked so a 5 min sim is kinda weird there aswell

lilac stag
#

I actually hate how shit their design is when it comes to forcing toxic levels of gameplay friction.

#

zero iterations on whatever idea pops in their head.

#

Or if this is the iterated version, wtf did you come up with initially?

slate marlin

vale pine
#

idk

#

i think its best to work with what people in your guild got on gear

leaden prairie
#

trickster being behind fatebound in st is so bad btw

#

its like

if sin was forced to play fatebound

#

same shit

#

they lose all their aoe

steel zinc
#

Ok

vale pine
#

just saying

leaden prairie
#

ye barely tho

#

ok 4%

#

well

#

kinda my point anywya

#

playing fatebound is terrible

#

you should include trickster st for outalw imo fuu

astral axle
#

arent there weird overlaps & desyncs with fatebound sin and coldblood and stuff

vale pine
#

sure

#

was just trying to make a first profile

#

and it simmed quite a bit lower

leaden prairie
#

ye

#

it will

vale pine
#

btw. the talents i had end up within error range

leaden prairie
#

is this right

vale pine
#

so there is one free choice for you kinda

leaden prairie
#

or did you not sim removing sleight

vale pine
#

moment

leaden prairie
#

casue sleight should ahve 0 value with loaded

#

at least how we sim it

#

maybe it could have potential that we didnt sim

#

but i think our current apl would only reroll with loaded

vale pine
#

its slight interesstingly enough

leaden prairie
#

is it neutral ?

#

its weird

vale pine
#

ye

leaden prairie
#

sleight should ahev litteraly 0 impact

#

wuth our current apl

#

ah i guess you can still roll a 5

#

ye

#

bit cursed

#

btw zac, is this welsh or something?

Prioritizing the least impactful bugs Classic

steel zinc
#

100% our tier wont work they should just fix the tooltip imo

like who cares

hazy breach
#

They couldnt even properly fix the shadow damage from lingering when they tried, so now its more bugged than it was before

steel zinc
#

but no they will try to fix it and brkea more

hazy breach
#

But it doesnt work on items atleast

swift tinsel
#

surprised they didn't destroy raid servers by removing parry bug

steel zinc
swift tinsel

that's why it had to go

steel zinc
#

idk how much % it was probably depending on the raid comp but that should be our raid buff baseline

swift tinsel
keen dome
#

It had to go 'cos they're planning on giving it to us as a raid buff properly

#

or, more likely, to the third DH spec because they hate me

They specifically hate you. 100rogue

I agree

graceful crown
#

sub gameplay doesnt need many ruptures outside of cd, right? i tried on ptr and seems more funny than s2

#

with the new tier

graceful crown
#

more cdr on rotations and a couple of coups

till 30-35s of cds

#

in s2 u usually needed to use ruptures to maintain tier set buffs sometimes

ah yeah don't need to worry about that anymore

you'll hold coup though and farm sht stacks with backstab going into non-opener flags

They stealth nerfed that other trinket right

#

for reference, a 684 house of cards give 9521 mastery on average

#

increased up to 3 times depending on how many times you use it

#

for 39 extra ilvl you get 60 extra mastery without the stack effect

hazy breach
#

And house of cards is under budget until youve capped it out

warm marlin
#

ye hoc isnt even a great trinket

#

and it gives more mastery with 1 single stack than lily

hazy breach
#

And ideally since we are heavy bursting we want something with more percentage of its power tied to the active, generally trinkets with passive agi have 70/30 in favour of passive whereas ones with secondaries (or something else) as passive are often the other way around with 30/70

what is weird about the scaling though?

jade urchin
alpine wraith
#

as eleem said trinket is kinda bad for us because we want bursty trinks

#

lilly has a lot of budged in static agi

#

same as HoC kinda

#

reason why we used transmitter

for so long

@vale pine you mind adding the ns sim?

whos excited for sub rogue

swift tinsel
#

looking forward to playing it in raid

hollow snow

rip

#

the trinkets dont excite me but double coup feels nice

swift tinsel
#

ye trinket situation isn't ideal

young mural
#

hey

#

im back

#

almost got sucked into the mage pipeline

#

but anyways

swift tinsel
#

he says while sporting the MAGE tag

young mural
#

hey

#

stop it

#

Im really excited for the double coup

#

double the CDR

#

double the damage

#

double the flawless form stacks

swift tinsel
#

just need them to fix the bugs and its pretty nice

young mural
#

rip

#

just read the pins

as always a bug with shadowed finishers

hazy breach

netherprism

potentially forge (the 2min trinket)

young mural
#

so as long as the current tuning is mantained, we're still playing trickster on AOE and ST situations?

swift tinsel
#

yep

#

DS sucks

#

in all content

#

as is intended

young mural
#

nice, i really enjoy trickster

swift tinsel
#

it is the superior tree in every way

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

ye

hazy breach
#

Its only for hc/later on in the tier when bosses get shorter

young mural
#

shaping up to be a pretty fun season for us submissive rogues

hazy breach
#

That we might want forge

young mural
#

oh

lucid jackal
#

I think rogue is very good htis tier

#

Like deceptively good

swift tinsel
#

I'm sub-pilled unless they do something heinous in the next two weeks

like ww this tier?

swift tinsel
#

having a few passive trinkets within 0.0-0.4% of each other isn't too bad too, probably sitting on sigil for a lil pseudo-EoN

young mural
#

i mean if they dont touch balancing, we'll see at LEAST 1 sub rogue during prog

shell willow
#

Damn sin that down bad?

hazy breach
lucid jackal
#

But like

#

U aren't embarassed to play rogue

#

Theres been tiers like that

#

Rogue feels very solid tho

#

It might be like vault where U dont need double rogue, but double rogue is playable and pretty good

graceful crown
#

sadly when meta comes, pugs wont get subtleties i think in high tier keys

lucid jackal
#

What keys do you do Mirannda

graceful crown
#

i did 18 max 2 months ago

#

why?

#

i had it difficult to go in

#

as outlaw

lucid jackal
#

Just wondering

#

Yeah meta is always annoying af

graceful crown
#

waiting hours to have 1 try

lucid jackal
#

Yeah

graceful crown
#

i can use my keys but...

#

i dont know whats slower

lucid jackal
#

lol fr

graceful crown
#

its my fav spec but im thinking to try harder as a meta spec this season

#

i still dont know what to do

young mural
#

Yhea rogue is always rough on keys

#

has some cool group utility but very situational

#

and arguably other classes can do it better so

#

we need a rogue lust and we're good to go

hazy breach
#

Yep rogue needs some sauce to be desireable for keys, very high damage obviously works but it still feels like youre not contributing much

#

Stop giving every single mob truesight garf_sit

graceful crown
#

currently im practicing fire mage at PTR and even if i dont like casters, feels like an outlaw but "better?" and have much more utility

hazy breach
#

But idk there might be some good shroud skips next season

graceful crown
#

but i still love outlaw

#

i hate this situation haha

swift tinsel
#

I'm torn on what I wanna play in keys

#

havoc is super fun, same with enh

graceful crown
#

yeah havoc seems very fun

swift tinsel
#

I really wish rogue hit better for me in m+

#

in raid I fucking love sub, most fun spec in the game

#

just doesn't translate to keys and I don't like sin/outlaw

alpine wraith
#

yea they have been nerfing buffs in m+ etc

#

but rogue just does not have what it takes

graceful crown
#

i prefer sustained dmg and fast apm rotations, but i think at this tier sub improved its rotations could be fun without rupturing out of cds

alpine wraith
#

outlaw is quite good but has same problem as sub

#

we just dont do anything but dmg

graceful crown
#

yeah, its the same

swift tinsel
#

shaman decurse is gonna get some mileage too next season

#

plus you have pct, purge, cap/lasso

graceful crown
#

there wont be more changes till day 13 right?

#

or can we

swift tinsel
#

can get tuning stuff any day pretty much

#

but I highly doubt any meaningful changes come besides adjusting the knobs

graceful crown
#

yeah i guess so too

young mural
#

based on changes to sin and sub (only specs i know about) im feeling like this might be a sub raid tier

#

feeling like its performance on ST/cleave is going to be better

#

but its a really trashy guess-timate

lucid jackal
young mural
#

true

#

just got a biased view on it since the LOU fights are all weird with a bunch of adds

#

!wa

chrome palm
#

it really feels like you need a shaman in your group (which has pretty much all of these things) to carry the lack of utility you bring as rogue

#

and often the utility that rogue does have like sap, cloak, blind, kidney, shiv, are just flat out like the worst versions of what they do in the game

hazy breach
#

The permatricks from trickster is something atleast, negating most aggro issues for your other dpsers

chrome palm
#

cloak is good ofc i mean but like ams seems stronger

#

perma is super neat for sure

#

but like any time a rogue can do something it usually seems like a better idea to have someone else do it for them instead

#

like why have the rogue kidney anything when it costs energy and combo points, when plenty of other classes have instant stuns like it

#

and like sap is only out of combat, in melee range, in stealth, making it a lot harder to use than imprison

hexed sluice
#

Does the parry count, I know my melee in raid liked that about me refusing to play other specs

tribal blade
#

sap is really annoying to use because half the time the mobs you want to sap have truesight

tribal blade
#

or are near truesight

hazy breach
#

Where mobs and bosses generally cant parry

hexed sluice
#

Wait

#

Oh so thats just baseline now at all times

hazy breach
#

In keys yes

#

In raid no

swift tinsel
#

just remove it and armor altogether in pve

#

plz god

hazy breach
#

In keys things havent been able to parry for a long time

tribal blade
#

for some reason raid bosse still need to parry 🙂

hazy breach
#

The raid-wide parry removal from trickster has been fixed on ptr

chrome palm
#

its over

hexed sluice
#

Imma just conviently not tell my raid that

#

and gaslight them when they get parried

#

spice up raid chatter

tribal blade
#

"must have been parried during the 3 seconds fazed fell off"

chrome palm
#

technically it was only ever a 90% parry removal

swift tinsel
#

we have infinity melee so its gonna be funny to see everyone else lose out bc of it lol

#

if they don't add every ability to the parry blacklist first

#

which, as soon as they started doing that parry should go for everyone

chrome palm
#

losing parry raid buff is a utility nerf but a damage buff if you think about it

swift tinsel
#

why are colossus smash and kingsbane special

tribal blade
#

LOL because it's nerfing the other melee

hazy breach
#

Its ironic that sub could make others not have to stand behind, yet we ourself still have to stand behind

swift tinsel
#

ye that was so irksome

tribal blade
#

member locken FW uptime

#

i member

swift tinsel
#

soon we get fractallus too

tribal blade
#

pressing storm praying for a crit

chrome palm
#

shouldve held cb for storm bud

tribal blade
chrome palm
#

think of the uptime

tribal blade
#

or just gear 40% crit

#

easy game

chrome palm
#

just leave the group and get slightly behind the boss

tribal blade
#

rock that 50% mastery

chrome palm
#

and scare the shit out of your raid

tribal blade
#

hahaha

#

it's always funny when someone is out of position on locken

#

and the pings start happening

#

and people freaking out in disc

chrome palm
#

just do what ryldd does

#

cloak and start murdering

tribal blade
#

haha

chrome palm
#

what a criminal

tribal blade
#

or press step

#

i try to save cloak for the overlap with beams and magnet anyways

warm marlin
#

it was an accident man

#

too fast with sprint! slipped into the knock up thing

tribal blade
#

rogue does run at mach 10 with sprint up

graceful crown
#

bof trying sub now in ptr, rotation is much more fluid

shell willow
#

Has the rotation changed for live?

graceful crown
#

than s2

#

nope

shell willow
#

Not sitting on coups for dance window might be the only difference

graceful crown
#

huge difference i must say, atleast my sensation

#

double coup and procs much more

shell willow
#

Might help our sustain outside of burst

graceful crown
#

resulting in more cdr and faster rotations till 30-35s before cds

#

yep

shell willow
#

Okay they might have to carry that tier set interaction after s3

graceful crown
#

hope so

hazy breach
#

I mean it doesnt matter much

graceful crown
#

its the feeling of everything

#

even if its not in much more dmg

shell willow
#

True if numbers dont support it doesnt mean anything

graceful crown
#

yeah well, outside of cds, its just for fun

#

haha

hazy breach
#

Im saying its not much more cdr

graceful crown
#

the interaction we had with s2 tier set, losing charges and rng based

#

was disgusting for me

swift tinsel
#

wait til you experience the rng of the 2pc

graceful crown
#

but now i had fun

hazy breach
#

This new set is MASSIVELY more rng than the previous one

#

The previous one had very little rng

graceful crown
#

Maybe i had bad luck but i sometimes i could get 6-8 charges in a full cd rotation

#

or 2

swift tinsel
#

getting a double proc after a 2nd coup is gonna make not getting it feel ultrabad lol

#

but that's the rng life

hazy breach
#

And ye the sim gets roughly 0.5 extra dance casts of in a 5 minute sim compared to live, 13.8 instead of 13.3

graceful crown
#

i just tried 15 mins in ptr with sub and felt better, idk haha

hazy breach
#

So its not negligible, but its not particularly impactful either

graceful crown
#

Maybe i focused too much in the track charges of s2 tier

#

and thats why i hadnt fun

hazy breach
#

Ye there was no reason to track it

shell willow
#

The 4pc coup proc is free correct? Don't need to build cps up to send it again?

alpine wraith
#

you need to build cp

shell willow
#

Oh that sucks

short radish
shell willow
#

Lol

hazy breach
#

I was (and still am) expecting it to be nerfed and the baseline spec buffed to compensate, but seeing as it hasnt happened yet who knows

swift tinsel
#

SoonTM hopium

bleak night
#

best i can do is nerfed week 2 with no compensation

shell willow
#

I really like how it streamlines the rotation.

shell willow
hazy breach
#

In what way does it streamline the rotation if we play the exact same

swift tinsel
#

it gets more degen than before lol

#

with the non-ub builders

shell willow
#

For me personally noto having to sit on coups and bping instead.

hazy breach
#

We didnt do that before

#

That was early s1 tech

shell willow
#

Oh interesting

hazy breach
#

If you have coup up and flag is coming up in like 10-15 you just dont finish

#

To build sht stacks

#

And that remains the same for s3

shell willow
#

Oh okay in that case lol nothing changes

hazy breach
#

During blades you want to storm inbetween your coups

#

To not waste a proc of unseen blades

shell willow
#

Yeah for dance macabre

hazy breach
#

Since you cant stack for your next coup while the 4p buff is active

#

Not for macabre no

shell willow
#

No

#

Oh shit okay

fallow nimbus
#

Just make everything proc ub and also give us 1 or 2 more stacks for coup

#

But they probably need something for midnight and that's why we see no qol changes for our hero trees, who knows

chrome palm
#

Should also make non disorienting chance to strike with unseen cap at 2

#

And remove fazed entirely

swift tinsel
#

minus the plague damage buff to DS forever ago

swift tinsel
#

35% chance for coup to hit twice

#

can lead to some shit

young mural
#

what

#

am I dumb?

#

did they change this? or am i stupid

#

this seems like pretty bad RNG

plush roost
#

They did change it

#

Its not 30% refresh

#

Its now 35% double proc

#

So your cds can have 4 coups or 8

#

Depending on rng

#

Very cool

#

When you do proc you are jesus tho freal

#

The random priests sometimes PI me and i have to tell them haste yucky stat

#

Just cause the st damage can go absolutely crazy

alpine wraith
#

yea nothing like proccing lots of unseens in a random dance and also proc authority

#

of radiance

sullen hare
#

Radiance is what? Mastery?

plush roost
#

Agility

sullen hare
#

Ah, we're going back to dragonflight stat proc gambling how exciting

warm marlin
#

I mean radiance is such a small amount at this point

#

With prism you have like 130-140k primary in cds and 2x radiance proc I think is 4400 something

sullen hare
#

Ah well if depths is still about the same I'll just go with whatever tbh. I haven't particularly cared about enchants in a while because they haven't been exciting it's just some shit to buy

chrome palm
#

The classic “+ .2% in pure ST, - .6% if another nameplate shows up for 5 seconds”

warm marlin
#

Just proc your 30k mastery delve trinket and your delve belt and your casino tier set all in your cd window and you’ll pop off

fleet wharf
#

how about you just crit all your finishers in your cd window?

warm marlin
#

True true that too

barren tree
#

been scrolling through this channel, saw plenty of ppl saying sub aoe is bad, why is that? havent played sub in a while

sullen hare
#

How long do you have and how many perspectives do you wanna hear?

alpine wraith
#

sub aoe is decent just other specs have crazy numbers

#

we are like mid to high

sullen hare
#

I'll boil it down from my perspective, I guess. The current state of sub rogue comes partly from the rework we got midway through dragonflight, the last expansion

#

At the time we were really really spammy. You basically didn't even bother looking at your energy bar because whether it was single target or aoe you just kinda always had energy for everything all the time

#

One of the consequences of that rework was that they increased both the cost of our generators and spenders so that made energy economy a lot tighter. So where other classes just press an air ability we have to be a little more conservative about it and while we are in the same pen as a lot of classes with capped aoe we have to be a little more clinical and while long timers who've played the spec through good and bad are dealing with it anyone who's taken a vacation and came back or is picking it up for the first time really struggle with that

#

So it's not only a little difficult and obtuse, it's also just tuned to end up around where most specs are in aoe so if you don't pull it off just right you end up in third, which by Ricky Bobby's rules is worse than last and that just doesn't feel good

#

Every time we joke about buffing black powder and then they go and do it it just kinda sucks

#

Rogue Dev hasn't even posted in here since last year so most of that is just yelling into the void, so excuse me for being verbose

tribal blade
#

@chrome palm you know when you have a key where you completely shit the bed for whatever reason

#

i just had one of those

Hell yeah

#

I’m new at sub, before I saw some rogues biggest damage was rupture I think, in details M+ , don’t know which spec, so we just spread rupture to 2 adds at a time? Or other rogue specs spread Rupture in AoE more efficiently?

lucid jackal
#

Spread rupture between Cd's and when tanks are gathering

plush roost
#

Remember s2 df darkbrew ruptures

#

Ah those were the days

tribal blade
#

even S3 you could play DB too

#

those were beefy ruptures

I just saw assa has garrote and rupture spread automstocally with another skill, that was my confusion lol, thanks for the tips

alpine wraith

ahaha

That is an interesting build

Wonder what you swap for tfd

tribal blade
#

i think the only way to get TFD would be to drop 1 point in finality

lapis hatch
chrome palm
#

Do you ever really need to feint in dance

#

Maybe a few one shots but I think we are quite sturdy in dance

sullen hare
#

It's nice that it's off gcd now but we've kinda permanently pivoted to asking the question "with what energy?"

alpine wraith
#

where PE matters more

proven plover
#

I remember my friend who never played rogue telling me to use symbols to gen energy for feint

alpine wraith
#

for m+ you just run rotten

sullen hare
proven plover
#

Was a historic moment for me

lucid jackal
#

I press it so extra

chrome palm
#

In keys it’s pretty common to run out of energy in dance outside of blades

#

Mainly from feinting and or lack of sht

#

Feint + double strike is nasty

proven plover
hollow spear
#

Feint really got much better without the gcd, but the energy cost is tough

next bone
#

does it matter if my offhand isnt a dagger?

chrome palm
#

ok maybe not but its not good get a dagger

brisk onyx
#

You will get less cp and energy cuz less shadow tech

#

So don’t do that

next bone
#

If i get a better weapon than a dagger, the sims account for the CP and energy loss in DPS? Like I get a Mythic fist and a hero dagger

chrome palm
#

yeah but hero dagger will always be better no question

#

offhand is like your worst slot as sub

brisk onyx
#

And loss very much by using fist

next bone
#

thanks!

oh no

#

I tried bois it’s not responding

keen dome
#

Shadowtechniques (the thing that gives us bonus energy and combies from auto-attacks) isn't equalized so it'll proc far, far less on a slower OH (So anything but a dagger). which is a pretty considerable loss versus just using a grey dagger.

#

To explain why we only ever want a dagger OH

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

!oh

wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

we play tfd in single target

and the m+ talent will change due to finality bug implementation

point taken

so we will see
