#

to be fair the diffrence between tfd and wm is low

sullen hare
#

as long as I can only lose less than 10% damage in m+ I'll still skip out on nado

vale pine
#

so you can play either

sullen hare
#

boy I sure love that I hit tornado into several black powders instead of eviscerate which synergizes with my herot alents

keen dome
#

Finally my choice to not take tornado off my bars is justified

keen dome
#

Laziness wins again

slate marlin
#

isnt this the build that weirdly sims higher but isnt played?

chrome palm
#

wonder if we take tornado for aoe fights in the raid

sullen hare
#

see you for the s3 guide where fuu says "it's shit. it's all shit, but I've been painted into a corner" in so many words because that's all that gets clicks these days

slate marlin
#

from the fuu doc

chrome palm

sinec its just that vs veil touched then

no I think that one was correct

lilac stag
#

it’s too early. 💤

keen dome

it is

lilac stag
#

someone shooting what sound like a shotgun at 2am woke up everyone. RHangry

sullen hare
#

really? working on a project car at 2am?

#

I guess it is a saturday

lilac stag
#

no it was was gunshots.

#

not a backfire. Hahah

keen dome
#

I just couldn't sleep 'cos it was slightly too warm 😦

sullen hare
#

I tried to sleep but I'm just feeling restless tonight

plush roost
#

somethings not right here

#

and i dont know what it is

alpine wraith
#

did you hit a critter

#

tht seems crazy

plush roost
#

thats what i was thinking but i dont think theres any critters in valdrakken

chrome palm
#

outlaw, purple

nova cairn
#

There are

plush roost
#

ah okoki

alpine wraith
#

oh valdrakken can get cursed because there is also the emerald thingies

#

sometimes

Around the fountain

#

any keybind tips for sub ? i use cold blood and secret tech macro and when stealthed i got shadowstrike instead of backstab. just looking to optimise my binds any tips are welcome

lilac stag
#

we don’t macro much of anything

#

Very little is “directly stacked” ability wise

#

You do want a separate Sectech bind besides the macro

#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns, including Cold Blood+Secret Techniques and Dance+Symbols.
The following macros are an exception:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use House of Cards```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

(we currently don't take tea)

steel zinc
#

void touch if it stays this way is early on bis

#

in aoe its bis

#

@vale pine why sub again under 5mill? 😭 What happend we lost again like 85k

#

maybe because we didnt pick finality?

slate marlin
#

bc of finality bug i think

#

idk what it is but he said that in assa channel

hollow spear
#

Finality is definitely oversimming, no clue by how much tho

hazy breach
#

It is not anymore

brisk onyx
#

this one?

hollow spear
#

So the coup problem has been taken into consideration in the sim?

steel zinc
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
brisk onyx
#

ye i think so

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

Tornado Time!

steel zinc
#

the dungeon slice sim can not be right

#

not taking first dance is actually troll no m+

sullen hare
lilac stag
#

Tbf if you’re off rogue idk why you’d knowingly come back

steel zinc
#

bro according to ds sim it is best to run tornado and not tfd

lilac stag
#

TFD isn’t exactly easy to sim

sullen hare
#

It's home and it's cozy but goddamn if I'd ever be seen using nado again

hollow spear
#

Yeah I think it performs better in actual dungeons than in sims

steel zinc
#

this isnt implemented well

hollow spear
#

Just play it then

lilac stag
#

How do you want to implement forced combat drops? Figure that out and you can make it sim better.

slate marlin
#

can also swap tornado for vt for the ease of use

steel zinc
#

with other talents I mean standard m+ talents

lilac stag
#

What standard talents?

#

It’s a new tier

steel zinc
slate marlin
#

u have all raid buffs

steel zinc
#

nvm ok

#

let me fix it

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

I mean what's the point anyways

#

We know that tfd undersims

lilac stag
#

There are no standard talents. Season hasn’t even started yet.

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

Ig

lilac stag
#

like getting upset at assa sims because of sudden demise

#

or whatever else they got upset about

hollow spear
#

The world won't be a better place just because our ds sim is now 100k higher

lilac stag
#

clearly that will show Yoda we’re meta and to make a new video

hollow spear
#

It will be after another buff to bp

#

Trust

lilac stag
#

21% or bust

slate marlin
#

We are going to be playing roughly the same build anyway

lilac stag
#

🤝

hollow spear
#

I'll just build something cursed

lilac stag
slate marlin
#

taking finality into pe is whatever. 0 impact

hollow spear
#

And not care because I only play 10s

sullen hare
#

Hell I'd even take 20.5% buff to BP and literally no other changes if anyone is listening

#

Since sarcasm is dead

slate marlin
#

tornado was also on the s2 sim btw, we still played vt

hazy breach
#

It already sims better

hollow spear
#

I'll rename myself to Damage Amp Andy in details and call it a day

slate marlin
#

i think a couple months ago we had this discusion with fuu where the m+ top simming build is weird

#

it sims highest but is not the play

hollow spear
#

It's groundhog day

steel zinc
lilac stag
hollow spear
#

I might actually play tea

lilac stag
#

there’s one good log on gally with it now so who knows.

sullen hare
#

I would've paid to not read that

lilac stag
#

not that I like tornado, but I don’t think it’s immediately a no

hollow spear
#

You will press tornado and you will like it!

sullen hare
#

If by tornado you mean delete character

hollow spear
#

Sounds like a complicated macro

slate marlin
#

i think he meant press n-> assa spec

hollow spear
#

This recently?

#

Dang

#

Seems to have accounted for quite a bit

vale pine
#

yes

#

finality isn't the best talent in st anymore as a consequence

steel zinc
#

but tfd isnt impleted correctly or lets say cant be

hollow spear
#

Realz, emergency buffs are in order

steel zinc
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

tfd is implemented correctly for single target

#

it just does not get resets in dungeons

#

tfd and wm is very close so both is fine

steel zinc
#

like dawnbreaker where you have forced downtime

slate marlin
#

anywhere really, cool af talent

#

and its even better in ptr

hollow spear
#

Yep, I've played it this season already

sullen hare
hollow spear
#

I hope that was sarcasm in reply to my sarcasm

sullen hare
#

It is

hollow spear
#

Good

steel zinc
#

Do we bind tea to dance now?

sullen hare
#

I wouldn't defame bender Rodriguez with any sort of seriousness

hollow spear
#

Don't know anymore with this channel garf_sit

sullen hare
hollow spear
#

Or at least this expansion

steel zinc
#

yeah but idk m+ seems rather weird not using it more strategic

sullen hare
#

Pretty sure us macroing it just for the mastery buff was why it got the automatic use bullshit strapped to it

lilac stag
#

just blame assa

hollow spear
#

strategic use has left the chat

steel zinc
#

nah

#

you still want to use it not fully on cd

lilac stag
#

forces friction between spamming mutilate and saving tea for shiv

steel zinc
#

aoe m+ I mean

hollow spear
#

Do whatever you want

lilac stag
slate marlin
#

ye tea is for mastery

hollow spear
#

But binding it to dance is how you play it

steel zinc
#

aoe no

hollow spear
#

Strategic use for another two backstabs

slate marlin
hollow spear
lilac stag
#

you don’t give a shit about energy or mastery outside of dance

slate marlin
#

ye thats my understanding

slate marlin
#

bc u hit like a wet noodle

#

u still want cdr out of dances tho

lilac stag
#

Which is why you use it with dance and not run the risk of losing casts over 25 minutes.

hollow spear
#

Mapko will time the second he runs out of energy during dance

steel zinc
#

you bind it when you actually hit in dance your finisher

hollow spear
#

And definitely not lose it to auto casts

steel zinc
#

like it doesnt buff in dance you strike or w/e

#

so you use it in dance yes ofc but on the finishers

#

so you want to press it before your first finisher in dance

#

and not direct in dance

lilac stag
#

That 1 second going to be huge.

hollow spear
#

That's probably not even 0.03% dps

#

Who the heck cares

vale pine
#

tea is fairly easy to use

slate marlin
#

fuu typing everyone hold their beers

vale pine
#

just macro it to dance

#

easy as that

proven plover
#

U just drink it with some lemon and sugar

lilac stag
#

but what about my finisher mix max? dracthyr_tea

hollow spear
#

In single target, fuu

steel zinc
#

if you just macro it on aoe you will lose out imo

hollow spear
#

Not in aoe

steel zinc
#

in st yes

slate marlin
#

daddy fuu has spokendracthyr_love

steel zinc
#

you bind it in st

hollow spear
slate marlin
#

ill resume my beer drinking

hollow spear
#

I have to hit the gym

lilac stag
#

let rogues make things even more excessively complicated than they need to be.

vale pine
hollow spear
#

I'm kidding fuu

#

You haven't read the last messages ig

lilac stag
#

he has.

steel zinc
#

binding it in aoe is imo just a bad call in m+ since you want to have alteast one tea or 2 tea charges during your cds

lilac stag
#

He’s ignoring he .03% min max .

steel zinc
#

nah just logically thinking

#

you are a cds class you want to stack cds

lilac stag
#

You don’t want to lose cd casts

#

You start saving tea. You will lose them

hollow spear
slate marlin
steel zinc
lilac stag
slate marlin
hollow spear
#

Yup

steel zinc
slate marlin
#

theres no way u arent going low in energy out of dances

steel zinc
#

you can game that

#

yeah then your right if it does procc I lose chages

slate marlin
#

yep

steel zinc
#

that autoprocc killed my thought process your right

hollow spear
#

You can make playing outside of cds even more shit by doing that yes

steel zinc
#

I forgot about that

#

my bad

steel zinc
#

I am still in df when we played it as sin

slate marlin
#

no worries sub hasnt played it in a while

steel zinc
#

ok your right just bind it also in aoe

#

I was just thinking we still had full control as sub

slate marlin
#

auto proc is a big nothing burguer that still feels bad for some reason

hollow spear
#

Yeah but even on sin it was like 0.1% of a difference between min maxing autoproc and just sending

steel zinc
slate marlin
#

yep, nothingburguer at its max

steel zinc
#

just I was thinking if we had control lets use it fully in our cds always like stack everything with trinket more mastery etc

#

but since we cant control anything

#

screw it

lilac stag
#

we’re a muticd spec that doesn’t get to stack CDs directly, because friction.

vestal escarp
#

Frictiontly

#

Subction

lilac stag
#

That word is getting worse than “pivot”

hollow spear
#

Imma start a fight with my gf later, need some more friction in my life

lilac stag
#

makeup friction later

slate marlin
#

you just want the reconciliation later ongarf_sit

hollow spear
#

So much prejudice.

sullen hare
#

Just put the toilet paper on wrong that'll do it

lilac stag
#

Leave the seat up

slate marlin
#

do anything

sullen hare
#

No need to thank me until you're done yelling at each other

lilac stag
#

And the bidet on

sullen hare
#

Ok Satan

slate marlin
lilac stag
#

the test of true love. How much can you fuck with each other.

plush roost
#

I played the tea setup with finality on the ptr

#

And fellas i got bad news

sullen hare
#

How'd it go

plush roost
#

Its actually pretty good

sullen hare
#

Oh no

plush roost
#

Sample size Halls 14 and Streets 14

sullen hare
#

I'm hoping that's just copium

plush roost
#

St is worse

#

Actual pack dps higher

#

Especially during your down periods

#

Wasnt being optimal either, with tornado and all the energy i sent sec tec and dances dry without symbols often

#

No details meter, at work. But st boss dps was about 3.3-3.5m which is subpar. Went into third boss of halls without cds and that was a nasty 2.8m

hollow spear
#

What kind of a st difference do you get simming it on st?

plush roost
#

Just skyfury

hollow spear
#

Like standard build vs this one

tribal blade
plush roost
#

I didnt sim just yolo

tribal blade
#

i actually enjoy playing sub with tea and vigor

#

feels like old sub

#

without bricked storm energy

plush roost
#

Big issue i found, and this may just be ptr having 18% crit baseline

#

But i wasnt pressing bp lots

tribal blade
#

oh that's probably way too low for not running CB

plush roost
#

Since fw uptime was real bad no rotten

tribal blade
#

when i simmed tea during DF crit starts gaining a lot of value

plush roost
#

Hmm maybe i recraft tmrw and go agane

slate marlin
#

lets pray for 30 energy storm

plush roost
#

I played pacemaker as my crit source

hazy breach
#

Dont think your crit matters much

tribal blade
#

i tested sims when kush was experimenting during DF S3

plush roost
#

Yeah its just i was frequently at 4-5 fw in a 13 target pack

lilac stag
#

crit was already gaining vaule end of this tier with sectech.

hollow spear
#

Critting is 50/50 anyways

plush roost
#

Not sure if that was a bp angle or not ngl

tribal blade
#

5 is yeah

hollow spear
#

Well

plush roost
#

Interesting maybe i press bp more then

hollow spear
#

At 13 targets you'd bp anyway

#

No matter the fw

plush roost
#

Not used to aoe rules on trickster

tribal blade
#

it's very convoluted

plush roost
#

Since i was sin pmuch all season

hollow spear
#

I think it's 7+ target if you ignore the fw rule

tribal blade
#

oh dave made this btw

#

maybe you can import it over to ptr

#

maybe

plush roost
#

Mm useful

slate marlin
#

5 fw up, or 3 during blades=bp

#

does it make sense with nimble being 7? no

plush roost
#

I shall continue to ezperimwnt tommorow

steel zinc
#

!wa

plush roost
#

I do think tho, that steets is very much a normal build angle

#

With tfd and rotten

spiral sierra
plush roost
#

Not many big target counts

tribal blade
#

streets having a lot of downtime between packs yeah

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

it's PE+x2 finality build

#

oh @hazy breach do we play around rupture finality in ST with x2 finality talented again

hazy breach
#

No

tribal blade
#

sick

spiral sierra
#

what PE? sorry >.<

slate marlin
#

precise execution

spiral sierra
#

ohhhhh

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

We don't talent finality in st at all

slate marlin
#

its planned? wtf

#

my bad

spiral sierra
#

yeah its planned, i knew what you meant tho

hollow spear
#

Yeah, since planning is important on sub

slate marlin
#

ill use beer as an excuse

hazy breach
#

But here is a spicy build for ya that sims the highest when you have skyfury on

tribal blade
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach

CUQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM2mBAAAAAALjxy0YGMzMYmZmxMzMMmtZxYGbzMDmZMGzsMbDAAAgZGAwY2MMwAziWoFbwA

#

(with tea)

steel zinc
#

can you share the string pls?

hollow spear
#

Are you working at an Indian restaurant Eleem

tribal blade
steel zinc
#

I am blind today

tribal blade
#

it's DB build, similar to the one we ran during DF S3

hollow spear
#

The trick is to not join pugs without a shaman

steel zinc
#

these talents all require the new tierset or?

tribal blade
slate marlin
#

no shadowcraft build?

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

oh shit i didn't notice no shadowcraft

hazy breach
#

"Requires" is probably pushing it

sullen hare
hazy breach
#

Its like -0.8% instead of +0.8% with old set

sullen hare
#

Oof

hollow spear
#

Justice can't wait to try it

#

It has tornado

tribal blade
#

run DB build and then rupture spreading becomes massive value

sullen hare
#

It has everything I like (tornado)

tribal blade
#

it actually kinda works because nado is less troll without shadowcraft talented

slate marlin
#

maybe

#

but shadowcraft is fun

tribal blade
#

it would just feel like you were playing early DF sub again

sullen hare
#

I didn't run tornado then either :)

hollow spear
#

How cursed is this in single target

tribal blade
#

probably wouldn't feel great compared to what we run now

sullen hare
#

No shadow craft refills so probably feels like you're cut off at the ankles

tribal blade
#

but that build i think has higher aoe sustain

hazy breach
#

Without shadowcraft refunds you have more opportunity to use your hard hitting builders!

sullen hare
#

Oh boy!

hazy breach
#

(no meme strike that procs double unseen blade actually does comparable damage)

tribal blade
#

because we learnt the other night that sub is NOT the finisher spec

north schooner
#

PV value HOLY

sullen hare
#

As I have always said, "I sure love pressing shadow strike twice per eviscerate"

hazy breach
sullen hare
#

Because I grew up listening to we are the champions and that's the rhythm. Stomp stomp clap

hazy breach
#

On AoE pv aint even the 0.1% it is on ST

north schooner
#

exactly, that's like as impactful as fatal intent

spiral sierra
#

how would a raid build look like w/ tea?

#

same as now?

#

just curious

hazy breach
#

Yeah but CB is better for ST

short radish
hollow spear
#

It would have a lot of assassination talents

hazy breach
#

Sectech does less of your damage in aoe than in ST

#

Thats why CB is less valueable in aoe

#

Because for some reason sectech is softcapped at 5 targets

#

When BP is at 8

tribal blade
#

because sectec softcapped at 5

#

and CT says softcapped at 5 but actually 8

limber dirge
#

New to sub, is the cd usage loop something like this

Full cds > x2 Shadow Dance+Symbols in between > Full cds > x1 Shadow Dance+Symbols in between and then repeat the loop?

sullen hare
#

That's kind of a really compressed way of looking at it but yeah I guess

north schooner
#

they like mixing the soft caps for some specs but I have no idea what they achieve with that (if intentional)

steel zinc
#

with shaman

tribal blade
#

omfg watching pikaboo flag carry with burst of speed on mop classic is bringing back so many memories

#

now i'm sad

compact violet
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
pale spoke
#

is there a bug where shadowstrike is usable outside of stealth/dance now?

tribal blade
#

some people report having it happen to them

#

not sure about ptr though

pale spoke
#

yeah it's happening to me on live now

tribal blade
#

might be a dumb question, but are you talented into subterfuge

pale spoke
#

nope

wheat edge
#

I noticed something funny while running transmog content on sub, if shadowstrike kills your target you stay in stealth and can kinda teleport around between a few mobs

tribal blade
#

probably just restart game and it'll fix it

tribal blade
#

it's also funny how if your target dies the millisecond you port with strike you stay in stealth too

steel zinc
#

@hazy breach that build with no shaodwcraft actually really works very well. You have way more sustained aoe and some peaks when in full cds.

#

its really good just st is a bit worse

spiral sierra
#

i think i really hate tea for single target, but for AoE its nice.

steel zinc
#

is it worth to use no shadowcraft on st raid? (nah because not much cp or)

tribal blade
steel zinc
#

I recorded an eco dome I can send u the link later

tribal blade
#

i think losing some st is honestly fine in keys

steel zinc
#

I had a shaman and monk buff and a dk who just chain pulled and I resetted sometimes tfd with vanish

#

and you were not tanking dps you could hold sustained damage which has always been subs issue since the rework

spiral sierra
#

wrong channel

random star
#

oh shit sry

spiral sierra
#

all good 😄

random star
#

mb

tribal blade
steel zinc
tribal blade
#

mmm ok

steel zinc
#

like you dont tank like sin your dps but you really do less st

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

i think that would be fine for most keys

lilac stag
#

depending on timings and needs

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

talking raid

tribal blade
#

ah gotcha

#

oh right

steel zinc
#

maybe raid if you have shaman buff which you have you dont play shadowcraft

#

idk

#

like you hit way harder sustained

tribal blade
#

were you being aggressive with rupture spreading

steel zinc
#

yeah

tribal blade
#

noice

lilac stag
#

also not munching cps unintentionally

steel zinc
#

I just screwed up sometimes tornado since I had to remember the keybind kekw

tribal blade
#

mm and then playing nado without shadowcraft it's nado>dance+symbols

steel zinc
#

ill share later unlisted video of the run

#

yeah I did nado symbols dance bs and then tried to get all nado ticks

#

since nado takes like 1 gcd to get rolling you can bs in that gcd maybe

#

idk maybe overcapping the cp

tribal blade
#

ohh i see

#

it sounds like you would global lock yourself from your first nado tick

#

maybe i'm wrong

clever delta
#

you casting finisher next gcd after nado pres

tribal blade
#

yeah exactly

clever delta
#

nado is kinda shit show as trickster isnt

steel zinc
#

like what I did I used it also to spread omega fast ruptures

#

like when mobs are stacked and you pressed flag into nado into all ruptures

#

and then into cds

#

but I aint good enough to always pull that off

clever delta
#

feel kinda waste losing that much of flag uptime on rupture spreading but w/e not really nado enjoyer, make much more sense for DS

tribal blade
#

mm i didn't think about losing strike casts using nado in dance

#

which is basically losing coups

clever delta
tribal blade
#

boy isn't sub just the most well designed spec in the game

clever delta
#

its flawless

tribal blade
#

imagine if they put unseen on storm

clever delta
#

that BP buff was the last pieace we needed to make it perfection

hollow spear
#

I feel like they have one more bp buff in the tank

tribal blade
#

we joke about it

#

but it could happen

#

it's the only real toggle blizz has to tune sub's aoe

#

whenever they touch sectec that affects ST too

clever delta
#

they could buff nimble more

tribal blade
#

true they could buff nimble

clever delta
#

that i would actually dont mind 😄

north schooner
tribal blade
#

yeah actually using nimble on 7 targets regardless of FW would be hot

clever delta
#

ye

#

and would make more sense aswell

tribal blade
#

would def make sub more intuitive

steel zinc
glossy turtle
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

Nimble fixes would be great, especially because tierlist andies would read it in the notes and be like "ah yes a small bugfix" when in reality its quite a large buff garf

tribal blade
#

how big would the nimble fix be exactly

#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Depends on which one youre referring to

steel zinc
#

all bugs

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

But all of them was like 7-8% when i napkin mathed it out

steel zinc
#

thats like insane imo

tribal blade
#

yeah that's a lot

clever delta
#

the nimble buff was them saying they are not fixing it

steel zinc
#

thats like a whole patchnote of boomkin 8 aura buff XD

hazy breach
#

But shrugeg

steel zinc
#

5% nimble buff is what overall in a dungeon?

#

3 or 4%? overall

clever delta
#

realz opened the nimble code during his lunch break (aka dediceted rogue dev time) and was like "nope"

steel zinc
#

I wish he would answer here again

#

like actually say ok we are fixing them at some point we have seen they are bugs

#

bro these bugs will be here until they remove hero talents

#

same like nighstalker talent that was never fixed

tribal blade
#

most likely they don't get fixed yeah

#

given the speed at which they fix em lol

clever delta
#

its not that major

#

and propably req lot of dev time

steel zinc
#

what nimble?

clever delta
#

yeah

#

its not major for them

steel zinc
#

ya but most classes have bugs like this just rogue imo has the most

clever delta
#

and you can balance it with buffing the nimble itself

tribal blade
#

when i think of major bugs on other classes i think of vdh

#

and how half their spells don't (or didn't) generate threat

#

which was always a funny part of pushing this season watching people open up too early and get insta 1 shot from threat

hazy breach
#

I mean for most of the season it wasnt even "open up too early"

tribal blade
#

yeah even half way through pulls lol

hazy breach
#

Sometimes they just lose aggro 15-20s into the pull

clever delta
#

thats where nigh elf kick in

north schooner
#

isn't it even stranger than that in that they generate threat conditionally? I don't remember if it was only after pulling or when they are used to pull

hazy breach
#

Especially for specs like arcane, enhancement and assa that do big ST damage

tribal blade
#

i actually really enjoy being nelf

tribal blade
#

how do you deal with that knock as paladin tank?

stand against the stairs

Its tanked against a wall

i actually start tanking on my pala tank this week and had no idea

hazy breach

Or well, with your back against a wall/stairs so you dont fly far

tribal blade
#

you just run up to the left stair well asap

clever delta
#

it pushed me side way when i tanked against wall

#

but maybe im just bad

tribal blade
#

nah i think it is hard to deal with

#

i've seen even vdhs have issues staying in 1 spot

I somehow pulled stix on Thursday. I’m sitting out of melee range with should up. Fucker just turned around on 4 seconds left with pull time and triggered cheat.

what in the hell is this shit

what's even worse is my guild's tanks having boomer reflexes and not pulling on 0

I was out of melee range.

Just happened to be closest toon I guess

as sub it's sus sometimes because you don't insta generate tricks threat from strike port

any hype for sub going in to season 3?

hazy breach
#

Plays pretty much identically to how it plays right now, but numbers seems slightly higher so people are liking it

#

It should be really solid in raid as fights seem quite good for us

#

In keys it seems ok once they nerf the ultra-broken specs Surebud

we would love a bit of an aoe buff tho

is there a delve trinket thats bugged on ptr that we are using?

Atleast thats available to rogues

if im not misstaken it was yoda who said somthing about it

or just broken trinket

#

oh well

hazy breach
#

I have no idea what youre referring to im afraid

upper narwhal
#

The only issue I have with Sub is BP and Nimble competing in AoE, they should compliment each other (BP at 8+) but instead they create cringe gameplay where you are supposed to guess how many debuffs are active

left ledge
#

They could just buff bp

#

To where you press it even in ST

upper narwhal
#

Another 11% for BP HOLY

left ledge
#

A few more of those and sub is saved

vestal escarp
upper narwhal
#

One step closer to SL gameplay

vestal escarp
#

Kino powder should hit for like 7x times sectech

left ledge
#

Then make nado work with blades again

vestal escarp
#

Then im satisfied

hazy breach
#

Lets just make nimble 80% instead of fixing any of the bugs garf_sit

left ledge
#

“I’m popping cds” into nado bp spam in ST

#

How cinema would that be

#

upper narwhal
#

+5% to nimble every patch and it will finally outcompete BP in The Last Titan

hazy breach
#

Just buff eviscerate so we are better in raid too garf

Nah nible should just go beyond 100%

They’ll fix the bugs

Just not this expansion

#

The next expansion when we get 20 new bugs

hazy breach
#

Or theyre gonna remove nimble

#

So theyre like "cba fixing the bugs"

north schooner
upper narwhal
#

Once they release the new DH spec and spend 8 months fixing it they will get round to rogue

left ledge
#

It’s the trend

vestal escarp
#

Ok so they're never gonna fix last titan bugs?

#

Good.

hazy breach
#

ONE of them atleast, right

left ledge
vestal escarp
#

Pffff

upper narwhal

My tinfoil hat theory is that dev time is being spent on a new DH spec and that’s why we aren’t getting changes, and I swear it’s real

#

Shadowed what

#

Never heard of him

#

And we’re moving the phys part of sectec to pets too

vestal escarp
#

Woof

north schooner
#

make all of sub's shadow damage pet damage

left ledge
#

WOWZA

#

Insanely good idea

hazy breach
#

Remove FW and shadowed finishers+rework blades to no longer add shadow damage, but instead make our spells do shadow damage while its up Surebud garf_sit

upper narwhal
#

Orc bis

vale pine
#

combine blades and flag into one cooldown

hazy breach
#

Can just toss flag

vale pine
#

would be one idea

hazy breach
#

Just removing flag and replacing it with something that buffs blades

vale pine
#

just make it one cooldown

#

instead of 2

#

makes the rotation easier too

hazy breach
#

But alas, no such luck

vale pine
#

also cold blood could be "your next 2 finisher after symbols"

#

or sth

hazy breach
#

We would go under our minimal allowance of jank

vale pine
#

haha

upper narwhal
#

What if we make blades a 2 min cd and keep flag a 1:30 cd and leave it like that?

#

Maybe we could have some way of allowing them to sync together

#

🏄‍♂️ 🏄‍♀️

left ledge
#

Dude I forgot cold blood was a button

#

I just press a diff sectec button

north schooner
#

and make backstab great again: only useable from behind, +12% damage, 60 energy

vestal escarp
#

Yess, no flag and giga blades instant would be too good to be true

#

I am a big sub noob, but I want to learn it for next patch, how hard is it these days?

hazy breach
#

Easier than people say that it is, but not very intuitive and quite punishing if you fuck up

lofty path
#

is it still b/c of CDR stuff? where if you mess up your timings you can get desynced

hazy breach
#

It plays quite differently than most other specs, because you have cooldowns to press most of the time, you just actively hold onto them for later

lilac stag
#

!mistakes

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.
hazy breach
lofty path
#

so the last time I tried playing sub was on good old smolderon, where you had to line up your CDs perfectly (it also helped that the fight was practically made for sub), is it still like that generally?

hazy breach
#

Yes

lofty path
#

where you have to line up your CDs for when mechanics are or aren't happening

#

gotcha

hazy breach
#

Roughly 70% of all of your damage you do happens during your 16 seconds of blades

#

(in ST)

lofty path
#

ye I have a buddy in my raid team who is a sub aficionado, and when I saw his logs for a ST fight, it was really funny to see how little damage was outside of CDs

Just gotta add a little backstab to the left hand side, like dumping ketchup over the top of it.

wait but if you put it in the oven you lose the texture of the ice

vestal escarp

Sorry to hear that

runic trail

And also a shuriken storm, in honour of next season. We're adding ranch to it as well.

hazy breach
short radish
plush roost
#

Why are we adding ranch to our soup?

#

Of all things

short radish
lofty path
#

so I haven't been keeping up with how sub is effected by 11.2 tier, does it change much in the rotation? or can I safely assume that not much is changing outside of getting a free 2nd coup in I assume dance windows

plush roost
#

Cant wait for gloomblade to return, so we can have Mr. Noodles Spicy edition

runic trail
plush roost
#

Very similar to live, you storm between coups for cp without proccing escalating during blades

hazy breach
#

To avoid wasting a stack of unseen blade

lofty path
#

what the fuck

#

sure

#

why not

hazy breach
#

Since for some reason you cant stack towards your next coup while the 4p is active

runic trail
#

Surely it gets fixed

#

Surely

lofty path
#

yeah I knew about that as I am an outlaw enjoyer

#

which is definitely a choice

hazy breach
#

Anyday now theyll fix that

runic trail
#

THERE'S STILL TIME ELEEM

lofty path
#

best rogue can get is getting ignored in patch notes

short radish
runic trail
#

I still love that of all the bugs they could have fixed, one of them was the parry one uglyassdog

slate marlin
#

Lmao ye

runic trail
#

(Though apparently they also fixed the rotten bug and something with tfd so at least its something)

slate marlin
#

another bugfix not in patch notes

lofty path
#

no nimble flurry bug fix tho

#

🙂

#

that would make sub too good

#

can't have that

plush roost
#

Watch them fix undermine tier set next patch "as compensation for this fix, Secret technique damage reduced by 9%"

how much difference do we make this rotation?

And it just didnt

I dont think they said should

I think it just said it now works

#

Cba digging up the post

runic trail
#

You missed the small print where it said 'for outlaw' at the end

#

Like size 1 font the same colour as the background

lofty path
#

it's fine outlaw needs all it can gets

plush roost
#

They just colored the text the same as the background

lofty path
#

literally eating the paper thin slices of bread from the mickey gif

#

although tbh that's just rogue in general

north schooner
#

they clearly didn't want sub's nimble flurry to be too overwhelming

#

that 5% would've been too much

brittle plinth
#

I think they're worried that if it adds shadow dmg or anything common sense, its just more work to balance.

runic trail
#

I try not to be too negative but, please, the hero talents remaining the same for this long despite the same criticisms being levelled at it since they were announced makes it hard not to engage in at least a little bit of doom.

brittle plinth
#

Sub just stuff piled on top of stuff, one buff probably has too many interactions for them to map

#

not like the player base is there to support the type of fear

hazy breach
runic trail
hazy breach
#

But then the "you cant reduce the mark while DN is up" bug got added like 2 weeks into S1

lofty path
hazy breach
#

And it got ruined

runic trail
#

Also deathstalker on sub without that bug sounds much better than it does on sin, at least moving the mark around isn't a nightmare.

brittle plinth
#

"hey anyone got a UI where I can track all these buffs/procs"
me: so if I do the rotation, almost all the time eveything works and I dont need to track em?

hazy breach
#

Technically you can do the 2 DNs in dance now as well with the new tier

#

Since for some reason the tier removes a stack even with DN up

#

But its cringe because you have to have DN up > dance > strike > symbols > use DN

brittle plinth
#

wait wait

#

why we talking about DN?!

hazy breach
#

So you have to delay symbols

brittle plinth
#

did I miss something

#

Im so afraid

hazy breach
#

No deathstalker sucks

brittle plinth
#

phew

runic trail
#

It sucks we're just on about the wasted potential of it

brittle plinth
#

thank you for explaining

#

you can appreciate my momentary panic

runic trail
#

Yeah for sure.

hazy breach
#

Theyre probably gonna buff the tier for them but not enough to make it good for sub

runic trail
#

I learnt sub just to escape the mark because the mark on sin in some fights hurts.

#

Silken court is still burnt into my memory

brittle plinth
#

sin feels like they took a ranged class design and made it melee

lofty path
#

yep

brittle plinth
#

just doesnt feel fun

hazy breach
#

But who knows, seems like theyre a couple of weeks behind schedule for the new patch so maybe they just dont have the time

lofty path
#

I'll never forget the pain of trying to juggle the mark on silken

hazy breach
#

And just aura buffs assa instead

tbh if I have to play another tier as sin I might just quit

it's so

#

boring

#

all the time

runic trail
#

I may end up stuck with sin on prog because my sub gameplay isn't at a level where I'm happy with it right now uglyassdog

#

I'm trying to escape the shackles of being a pure one spec one trick pony but its hard

lofty path
#

I'm gonna do what I always do

#

play outlaw until it's unplayable

#

then swap to sin or sub if I'm comfortable enough on it

runic trail
lofty path
#

wait wait wait

runic trail
#

(Its a joke Zac please don't murder me)

lofty path
#

it will be playable

#

on like the first 4 bosses

#

probably

#

maybe

#

who knows

#

also this gif is an accurate representation of me playing outlaw

slate marlin
#

Ill play sub or assa depending on boss, can play assa with whatever stats so its fine

graceful osprey
#

Sub stats work okay for assassination? I thought assassination was crit mastery

lofty path
#

assassination doesn't care about secondaries

#

like secondary stat weights generally are equal across the board

graceful osprey
#

Interesting, I was unaware

#

Still going to play sub kekdog

wheat edge

yeah that tracks

slate marlin

Yeah its extremely easy to swap from sub to assa

#

barely any gear change needed

steel zinc

one way to do it

leaden plover
#

just give us more BP buffs 🙂

carmine portal
#

Just a thought but a cool way to make Nimble Flurry more fitting for Sub is to make us have those shadowy tendrils from the Darkflame trinket striking nearby enemies

#

Visually ofc

hazy breach
#

Assa doesnt care about secondaries at all and Sub doesnt care as long as its not haste

#

So yeah its really easy to swap between them

Hey, I wanted to know if fatebound is still playable in MM ?
Or it is only for raiding ?

hazy breach
marble elm
#

Oh sorry!

carmine portal
#

I just hate the non-fitting hero talents

lucid jackal
#

I think trickster is fitting

carmine portal
#

Nimble Flurry just has no Shadow flare

lucid jackal
#

Well because its combined with outlaw

#

And outlaw has literally 0 bases in "Shadow"

#

Outlaws entire thing is blade flurry

#

So it gives blade flurry to sub

hazy breach
#

I too think trickster is fitting, just wish it had a bit more "trickster flare". Not sure what that would be

#

But the infinite tricks of the trade is my favourite talent by far for theme

lucid jackal
#

I like a lot of the rogue hero talent visuals, despite them being fairly low key

#

But unseen blade could be a bit... more seen

#

The visual is a bit too low key for me

#

I like it garf

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker could have some more flashy visual and it would still be on brand, but ye trickster being lowkey is alrigth with me

lucid jackal
#

I dont want to dream bigger

#

I like it how it is

#

I don't want to have a final fantasy giant animation

#

I like that a lot of rogue animations are subtle

#

Theres a handful of spells that I would like to be a little flashier, but coup isn't one of them

#

for me across rogue its like what

#

Unseen Blade, Fatebound in general, sectec,

#

but even sectec only a lil bit

#

I really don't want to be a FF character lol

#

Yeah but thats like, their thing

north schooner
#

sectec really needs to be more than a shadow fart

carmine portal
#

Meh, to me nothing about Trickster matches what I consider a Sub rogue to be but I am a "sub should be entirely shadow dmg" type player

lucid jackal
#

Okay so its a hero talent, its meant to combine 2 specs together

#

Why would trickster be a "Shadow damage" themed hero talent

hazy breach
#

But idk sub could be all shadow damage and still have trickster

#

Like both can be true at the same time

lucid jackal
#

its combined with outlaw, a spec that is ENTIERLY physical damage

hazy breach
#

But the trickster tree isnt gonna make everything shadow

lucid jackal
#

that's like, a lot OMEGALUL

#

You have almost 100% uptime of nimble flurry

#

So it'd just be perma clones

#

Idk

#

Too corny for me

#

having that happen 100% of the time is a bit much for me

#

Its the same as warrior, I like a lot of warriors animations even if almost every single one of them is just "Swing sword"

#

its like

#

the 15 different sword swings

#

roar, and bladestorm

#

and thats it OMEGALUL

I like Coup's animation now it works. SecTec is probably the only one I want to see an improvement too (Ky'veza trinket animation, but purple ghosts. It'd be great)

slate marlin
#

i dont think ub or coup should be flashier

#

but secret technique should

#

by a lot

lucid jackal
#

I think UB could be more defined, not flashier

#

But that might be being a bitt oo pednatic

slate marlin
#

no i get what you mean

keen dome
#

Ye, I agree with you there.

slate marlin
#

Sub, for me, is a shadow ninja

#

would like more shadow visuals

Shadow Blades could do with somehting more, too

Like, coat your weapons with shadows.

Using nado to spread rupture is what robot likes the most too

spread rupture during gather, nado to finish rupture spread, go into cds

is worht it

for 2 turbo jucied sec tecs
