graceful crown
#

idk sub haste build

leaden prairie
#

what for

graceful crown
#

outstanding energy gains

steel zinc
#

It feels way better in keys to play then CB

tepid trellis
#

ah yes

#

let me grab 110% haste

graceful crown
#

u got it

tepid trellis
#

so we can saturate ourselves

#

perma

graceful crown
#

thats the secret build blizz never knew

vale pine
#

tbh i think a lot of players want that

tepid trellis
#

alot of players is also stupid

vale pine
#

many people complain about not having infinite energy

tepid trellis
#

they should exercise more then

#

lazy fcks

vale pine
#

and assassiantions aoe is a lot nicer than st for most because they have infinite

steel zinc
vale pine
#

the most loved assassiantion iteration was during times they had infinite energy too

#

it just turns out, people hate energy

leaden prairie
#

idk

#

im an energy hater on outlaw lately cause its done terribly

#

but on sub and assa i have no issue

#

well on assa it just makes me not want to play the spec at all but

tepid trellis
#

id like for it to make more of an impact on assa

leaden prairie
#

its the design of it so im fine with it

tepid trellis
#

so you actually play around it

alpine wraith
#

energy should be a resource

#

not a fantasy yellow bar

#

that you ignore

tepid trellis
#

sub it kinda serves its purpose

#

making you fast during and slow out of cds

#

which is nice

alpine wraith
#

yea outside dance and inside it has diff things but it is fine

tepid trellis
#

Assa is just

#

meh

alpine wraith
#

does not help you have almost 300 energy as assa too

leaden prairie
#

idk why its not more of a thing

alpine wraith
#

they even made envenom stack twice with a talent

#

to not bother clipping

tepid trellis
#

blizzard dont know how to tune it for that

#

even though im sure whispyr has told them exactly how

alpine wraith
#

skill expression rn is only rng gamba time

leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

outlaw would be even more fun with 300 energy fr fr

#

sinister sinister sinister sinister

hollow spear
alpine wraith
#

with no procs

#

i mean there is a baseline

#

there are plenty of places to mess up

#

but after that it is just rng

runic trail
#

I have a cooked idea for energy. Remove energy from damaging abilities and have energy tied into utility/defensives. Have sprint be a toggle that drains energy for example. Evasion could be the same.

#

It is probably an abysmal idea

hollow spear
#

I find that there's a lot of mediocre players complaining about having no skill expression.

leaden prairie
#

you have more terrible ideas like these or

hollow spear
#

Not only here, but also other games.

runic trail
keen dome
#

I would never toggle sprint off

graceful crown
#

just make us garen

runic trail
#

And can't sprint

keen dome
#

healers adjust

alpine wraith
#

it would be cool if you could choose to use more energy on finishers to increase the dmg

#

with a toggle

#

so people could min max energy usage and builder economy

runic trail
#

But yeah its probably a terrible plan with bad implications but on paper, I kinda like it

leaden prairie
alpine wraith
#

but that would be too much

leaden prairie
#

cause ouitalw kinda is a dump energy spec instead of a wait for energy spec

hollow spear
#

Why would we do that Hachadino. Did you forget that we're not a finisher spec?

alpine wraith
alpine wraith
#

we will be rich and have a majority stake on microsoft

tepid trellis
leaden prairie
#

so i wanted to have like infinite energy, but finishers that cost more or less, and you chose, to spend more or less around that

alpine wraith
#

to bend wow to our will

tepid trellis
#

made your stuff cost extra

alpine wraith
#

it made energy regen go slower iirc

#

kinda interesting

hollow spear
#

Guys, keep it cool

#

I have no keybinds left

keen dome
#

It's a hold-to-cast

#

Hold evis for 3 seconds to use more energy

runic trail
#

Coup de grace is now an empowered spell uglyassdog

steel zinc
#

if you remove energy the gameplay of sub and assa becomes way faster. Its just all about cp then.

keen dome
haughty mural
#

1

keen dome
#

hell yeah

haughty mural
keen dome
#

they should bring the charge back as a talent choice because I think it would be funny.

runic trail
#

But yeah energy tied into utility/defensives with certain moves being a toggle which drains energy wouldn't break things too much... I think. It'd work theming wise as well, gotta burn energy to sprint.

haughty mural
#

Ngl.. This makes me really mad looking at it like this

keen dome
#

I like energy and feel the relationship between combies and energy is good. The only thing I'd be interested in seeing is removing energy from finishers

haughty mural
#

Then we are monks

tepid trellis
#

sub basically is if u think about it

#

due to relentless

fathom adder
#

relentless for all specs

tepid trellis
#

lmao no

keen dome
#

nooo

tepid trellis
#

just get rid of energy instead

#

if thats the case

#

lol

keen dome
#

Builders costing energy -> finishers costing no energy would be smoother, I think.

fathom adder
#

i stand by it pepe_chad

keen dome
#

Although it's a bit moot with how Sub functions these days

tepid trellis
#

the amount of energy relentless gives is a metric fuckload

hollow spear
#

Just make storm not cost a gazillion energy

tepid trellis
#

thats just from 3:44sec

hollow spear
#

That would be a first step

#

Make feint cost no energy

#

Defensives with conditions are ass

haughty mural
#

We had that

#

Was op af

keen dome
#

OGCD feint with 0 energy cost. Let me SPIN SPIN SPIN

hollow spear
#

Well, then increase the cooldown a bit

tepid trellis
#

wasent fcking feints fault

haughty mural
#

Okay true

tepid trellis
#

dont get it twisted

haughty mural
#

And based

tepid trellis
#

feint did nothing wrong

keen dome
#

Free feint

#

both meanings of the word 'free'

hollow spear
#

#freefeint

tepid trellis
#

blizzard just didn't think when they made the legendary

fathom adder
#

more dance cdr and energyreg nerf from rework reverted

#

i`d be happy then

tribal blade
#

if they removed the energy on feint they would increase the cd 100%

keen dome
keen dome
haughty mural
#

Man I was unkillable in progress with that legendary poggers

tribal blade
#

feint is already kinda busted

runic trail
hollow spear
#

My point is that a defensive needs to be available if it's off cooldown

tribal blade
#

but first rule of rogue is you don't talk about feint being busted

tepid trellis
hollow spear
#

If you press it and it doesn't work for some reason (energy/wrong room temperature) it sucks

haughty mural
tepid trellis
#

to bad blizzard likes designing AoE dmg in raid that isnt coded as AoE

#

so it just smacks you for 85% of your health

tribal blade
#

lol needing spreadsheets to figure out what dmg is what

hollow spear
#

Feint is strong

tepid trellis
#

IM LOOKING AT YOU KYVEZA U DUMBFUCK

hollow spear
#

But have you seen Mages?

keen dome
#

"Hey, everyone is taking damage at the same time. This must be AoE!"

#

It was not AoE.

tribal blade
#

kyveza was weird yeah

#

you know everyone on my raid team gives me shit about having cheat

tepid trellis
#

needing evasion + feint

#

before nerfs

#

was

tribal blade
#

but i did the entire of kyzeva prog with elusive talented and didn't die very much

tepid trellis
#

meanwhile the mage just sitting in the corner

tribal blade
#

what's the over under on mage being meta again next season

tepid trellis
#

its always meta

tribal blade
#

isn't arcane even stronger right now on ptr

haughty mural
#

Didn’t they even increase arcanes funnel ?

tepid trellis
#

about the same id say

tribal blade
#

like does the same funnel but can actually keep up on overall

tepid trellis
#

well depends on what you tryna keep up with lol

#

fdk?

#

NAH

runic trail
#

Yeah they need to be more consistent with how things are coded, some things being aoe effects that shouldn't be aoe is silly

tepid trellis
#

mm hunter

#

NAH

#

rogue

#

yes

tribal blade
#

damn

keen dome
#

It's possible to beat any class in damage with one simple trick

#

Hire a priest to pull them off the edge to their death just after they pop cooldowns.

tepid trellis
#

reset details before your cds

keen dome
#

Or that

tepid trellis
#

do the drjay

steel zinc
#

yo they nuked delve trinkets

graceful crown
#

so when u kill a pull of 15 u get 15k mastery? pog

#

or in ST u get 0 all the fight?

#

thats more gigapog

#

ah you have a chance with skills im blind

steel zinc
steel zinc
#

its like our current tier where you get stacks using your abilities

#

lit say in the first setence

nova cairn
#

ofc it was gonna get nerfed

steel zinc
#

they nerfed it by 50%

graceful crown
#

omg

nova cairn
#

I mean thats fair

#

30k proc

#

And you have on use trinkets

#

giving 12k

graceful crown
#

doesnt it suck having proc on skills for sub?

steel zinc
#

you dance so much these days with the new tier

brisk onyx
steel zinc
#

so much cdr through coup

steel zinc
brisk onyx
steel zinc
#

so pacemaker is now bis until well forever

graceful crown
#

oh nice

#

10 months with pacemaker poggers

keen dome
tepid trellis
#

its like

alpine wraith
#

cosmic hunter is also quite good

tepid trellis
#

almost identical to ´now

steel zinc
#

all delve trinkets are pretty dogwater now

keen dome
steel zinc
leaden prairie
# tepid trellis made your stuff cost extra

That's not really what I meant, more like I would have a decision to make between 2 finishers based on my energy, if I'm swimming in it I press the costly big hitter one, otherwise I press the energy efficient one, and the idea is to interact with energy just like that by dumping the excess instead of being limited by bad rng and shit which feels bad anywya

steel zinc
#

might aswell play transmitter ffs

graceful crown
#

I like transmitter

alpine wraith
#

dont worry pvp trink to the rescue

#

it is likely better than lilly too

graceful crown
#

3 jumps in stealth then shadowstrike, and BUM rotation starts

keen dome
#

It's identical to the S2 trinket right, hacha?

alpine wraith
#

well agi on use is a bit better than mastery on use

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

but also budget is a bit lower because of 1 min

#

not like it matters because lilly is so bad

graceful crown
#

liked that minigame

alpine wraith
#

and HoC was not spectacular

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Easy to get in W1 anyway

graceful crown
#

sometimes the orb fucked up in some aoe situations but meh

steel zinc
#

I had to play lockenstock prog with transmitter

#

was fun

shut ridge
steel zinc
#

Good that this is my ptr vault. kekw Gotta get the bad luck out of the account early. Thats how that works or?

brisk onyx
alpine wraith
#

ehehe

slate marlin
#

Sorry mapko your character is cursed now

brisk onyx
slate marlin
#

level another rogue

steel zinc
frigid prawn
#

!wa

brisk onyx
#

wait, are the effects of rare boots different in each track?

steel zinc
runic trail
steel zinc
#

so thats a good thing

runic trail
#

There's gonna be people with cape vaults

keen dome
#

Timewalking is gonna drop cloaks, I know that much. I bet 10 gold.

#

The rest should be fool proof

#

But I am a fool..

steel zinc
#

if we dont get tuning its joever. DH (alt I might play for prog) also looking very mid

runic trail
#

Its like on NA reset once where they somehow broke things and people were getting duplicates in the vaults kekdog

steel zinc
brisk onyx
steel zinc
brisk onyx
#

now it is 20% in lfr

steel zinc
#

I guess myth track boots (standard ones) are better then the lfr ones

steel zinc
#

u sure?

brisk onyx
#

ye

steel zinc
#

holy ur right

#

mythic is only 50%

#

fml

brisk onyx
steel zinc
#

20/30/40/50%

#

atleast they have bis stats so we get prio copium

keen dome
#

So much for an optional boss lmao (it was never optional)

alpine wraith
#

rofl

#

well you may skip it for prog

#

but farm the hc vers

#

depending on how hard it is

keen dome
#

i'm gonna kill it so nobody can get the DH spec

leaden prairie
keen dome
#

Maybe they'll change the tooltip and nothing else

alpine wraith
#

classic blizz if that happens

leaden prairie
#

Idk

#

At max probably if you say it's scaling per diff

alpine wraith
#

they need to split the effects in data too

#

no idea when it will happen

#

or if they will just serverside it to a diff one

#

and call it a day

lilac stag
#

What do you want split?

alpine wraith
#

i dont want anything they just changed something in 1 place but not another

steel zinc
#

We are doomed with 2 of the best buffs ara 15

alpine wraith
#

well those 2 are just premium dps

#

rogue needs a battlepass

lilac stag
nova cairn
alpine wraith
#

but tooltips and data kinda still not updated

lilac stag
#

Oh

alpine wraith
#

so someone joked they just forgot and the nerf wont happen maybe

nova cairn
alpine wraith
#

because they forget to implement

lilac stag
nova cairn
#

Big momma

lilac stag
#

Fate or Tricky?

nova cairn
#

Trickster

#

Fate is god awful in keys

lilac stag
#

I figured but didn’t want to assume

steel zinc
steel zinc
lilac stag
#

outlaw meta for DH council kekw

nova cairn
#

Ye*

lilac stag
#

but thinking anything rogue is meta for raid is hilarious and delulu

nova cairn
#

Sub is

#

Because of how the bosses are designed

#

They have damage amps and shin was going through the fights and timings seem to be decent for them

lilac stag
#

it won’t be past first raid tuning pass after rwf

merry agate
steel zinc
#

the buff is op in prog

#

its like having no paladin

lilac stag
#

until it’s not

alpine wraith
#

gotta pray they tune more bosses like magmorax

#

where everyone is fearing for their life

tribal blade
#

from the looks of this tier there's gonna be a lot of scary bosses

lilac stag
#

You’re dropping healers until you can’t. Would be funny if bringing in a fdk over rogue (same fight timings) is worth more than atrophic to hit dps checks.

tribal blade
#

in terms of dmg

lilac stag
#

The moving pieces in RWF is what I find fun. The hof guild and balancing is whatever. Just don’t let the spec be trash the rest tier after 3 weeks prog is done

alpine wraith
#

rogue is just strange rn a bit

lilac stag
#

when those checks matter less and less

alpine wraith
#

like damage is there but not outstanding

#

some fights we will be good but how good

lilac stag
#

I think we’re a bit over copium on the dmg amps, but we shall see

#

rip dust

alpine wraith
#

i mean it is not like we will be horrible but also

spiral sierra
alpine wraith
#

trickster fate is quite bad as outlaw

spiral sierra
#

still? ok

steel zinc
#

if all rogue specs had like 10% aura buff we gucci like np

spiral sierra
#

well im blind

#

xD

steel zinc
#

sin maybe more but fatebound is op for fractilus

spiral sierra
#

am i weird to like DS over trickster for Sub?

alpine wraith
#

not weird just wrong

#

dont worry

spiral sierra
#

bummer

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

i mean DS could have had a cool thematic

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

of big single evis and also big damage on dances with marks

#

but

#

blizz decided no

tribal blade
#

i was super stoked on DS when i read the theme

alpine wraith
#

HUNT THEM DOWN

#

for 10% of dps

spiral sierra
#

guess ill play outlaw then xD

tribal blade
#

and then super not stoked when we were figuring out how much they borked the whole tree

lilac stag
# steel zinc if all rogue specs had like 10% aura buff we gucci like np

Yep. I just think context of what people in here are progging needs to be taken with a big ole pinch of pjsalt

If you’re pushing top 50, yes your view of how good the sub experience is in raid, will be different than someone wondering why Aug is doing better in raid while they’re progging the 7th boss

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

best one was having it play well with sub

#

then solving a bug for assa

#

and saying fuck you to sub

steel zinc
#

like patchwerk = fractilus

steel zinc
#

or am I missing sth?

tribal blade
#

isn't fatebound completely bricked for sin

steel zinc
#

Yeah outlaw sims the highest but realistically you wont have the gear for outlaw with a good mainhand etc

steel zinc
#

on pure st

steel zinc
tribal blade
#

i thought nothing lines up like it should

nova cairn
hazy breach
#

Sub sims higher

tribal blade
#

actually not sad, i have never ever played fatebound ever

nova cairn
tribal blade
#

so i don't need to learn it lol

nova cairn
#

You run around keeping lucky coin up

#

also no perma tricks

tribal blade
#

that's actually hilarious

#

the cdr means nothing

tribal blade
nova cairn
#

To keep coin up in S1

#

I would blind the next pack

#

if It would run out before tank pulled

#

just to keep it up

tribal blade
#

i've never heard of that tech

#

that sounds beyond cursed

hazy breach
#

Its like kezan

tribal blade
#

honestly DS sounds kinda annoying as well

#

you can't shiv on DN

#

just adds more annoyance to playing around the mark

hazy breach
#

Nah you still shiv the same

tribal blade
#

oh ok

hazy breach
#

Just tank the loss sometimes

steel zinc
steel zinc
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

is it not a big loss taking away that part of the 4pc

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

Tell that to realz

nova cairn
#

FATEBOUND SIMS ARE FAKE

lilac stag
#

Or his AI

hazy breach
nova cairn
#

Also going off assa and Outlaw Fatebound sims there isn't any point

hazy breach
#

Because surely they fix the fatebound tierset literally doing nothing

#

Right

nova cairn
#

you hardly go fatebound

tribal blade
#

sims have always been super bait anyways

hazy breach
#

(they wont, they wont redesign the tree until .5 at best, fatebound is just doomed)

steel zinc
#

we will get a rework in midnight

hazy breach
#

But the 2p making KB roll the coin like DM is actually really good numerically

steel zinc
#

the state of bugs is insane

nova cairn
#

Can we make a fatebound hate club

#

Cus it's cringe

lilac stag
#

They’re aren’t resigning anything on rogue. Expansion is over as soon as raid ships

tribal blade
#

i've hated fatebound since i read it's theme

steel zinc
#

on beta when I played it the hero talent was a nothing burger since it did lit nothing just added numbers

tribal blade
#

i have no idea how it has any relation to rogue in the slightest

steel zinc
#

that is next exp

#

^^

tribal blade
#

fatebound reads to me like someone just came up with something off the top of their head

tribal blade
#

and did no drafts, just sent the idea

nova cairn
#

Naa rogue rework coming at midnight... (tonight?) ReallyNow

tribal blade
#

how stupid would we all look if tomorrow they released dev notes with like 75% rogue changes

#

and bug fixes

#

and talent changes

#

(not gonna happen)

nova cairn
tribal blade
#

i didn't realize hunter gets that much

dreamy badger
hazy breach
#

Tbf patch lines are quite an imperfect measurement

lilac stag
dreamy badger
#

We are so back

runic trail
#

I mean, number of lines on there own is a silly metric, the changes could be pointless

hazy breach
#

Like assa had quite a few this ptr

nova cairn
lilac stag
#

History, especially for sub, says differently.

hazy breach
nova cairn
#

Naa but in all seriousness

runic trail
#

I'd rather have a small number of impactful changes/bugfixes than a few lines of aura tweaks

hazy breach
#

Atleast its saying that its lines and not being like "attention given to spec" with a vague number

lilac stag
nova cairn
#

Remember hunter rework

runic trail
hazy breach
#

Outlaw style

nova cairn
#

That shit broke my mouse wheel

runic trail
#

Just add a few siren gifs in there

nova cairn
#

I think stick a 👏 between each word just to bulk it out

#

👏 we 👏 are 👏 buffing 👏 outlaw👏

#

👏 10%👏 aura👏 Buff👏

dreamy badger
#

I can hear the claps in my head while reading that wtf

nova cairn
#

I clap IRL to it

vestal escarp
#

Im so fed up with this class and how it's treated

dreamy badger
#

Just bend over and enjoy

🚨we 🚨are 🚨 nerfing 🚨
💚💚💚💚 atrophic 💚💚💚💚

tribal blade
#

it's honestly kind of vindicating to see actual definitive proof of how few dev notes rogue has been getting this expac

delicate current
tribal blade
#

so i know we're not all here being crybabies

lilac stag
#

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐕

nova cairn
#

The rest I am unsure

lilac stag
#

just follow your heart

dreamy badger
#

Ill try

empty hornet
#

"this expac"

lilac stag
#

If that doesn’t work, just be a tornado warning siren

empty hornet
#

i still remember Shadowlands beta

alpine wraith
#

dont make us remember

empty hornet
#

entire alpha+beta we got 1 post, most other specs were sitting at 10-15

lilac stag
keen dome
#

we were perfect(ly ignored)

empty hornet
#

sephuz coming back for a week to try and salvage rogue kmaLOL

dreamy badger
#

What is a shadowlands

alpine wraith
#

also seli the prophet now parry is a mechanic again

lilac stag
#

I miss sephuz

alpine wraith
#

for other people

lilac stag
#

we have no 4th quarter dev savior this time

nova cairn
#

I mean it's kinda sus tho

tribal blade
#

well it can't get that much worse than this

nova cairn
#

DH and rogue have the least lines

hazy breach
tribal blade
#

can't go more last place than last place 😉

nova cairn
tribal blade
#

reeee

empty hornet
#

at least we didnt get slaughter poison as venthyr

hazy breach
#

Fair enough

empty hornet
nova cairn
#

Already got tank dmg

#

Last boss floodgate btw

hazy breach
#

Atleast youre doing a bit more than last season

nova cairn
#

People keep saying

#

they thjjink more tuning this week

tribal blade
#

oh that's actual tank dmg

nova cairn
#

I don't think so

nova cairn
#

Imagine if I did actual ST

tribal blade
#

oh ok haha

nova cairn
#

If I did st would be over 10M

tribal blade
#

i don't get how outlaw can do that much overall but then suck on ST

#

with how the spec works

nova cairn
#

Our prio sucks now

tribal blade
#

ahh ok

#

so BF is just hitting like a truck?

nova cairn
#

THis is my overall ye

tribal blade
#

jesus

nova cairn
#

I think KS should be I tiny bit more up

#

But ye

#

it's basically all BF

tribal blade
#

that looks like a roided up version of live details

nova cairn
#

It's wild

#

What does trickster sub look like in keys atm

tribal blade
#

seems to be a big caveat on the fact that sub played right

#

does dam

delicate current
graceful osprey
#

11.2.5
Sub rogue
Increase backstab damage by 3%
Increase black powder damage by 6%

That’s what we’ll get

hazy breach
tribal blade
void ocean
#

but I always wanted to play left

plush roost
#

Ive averaged 7.8-8m on ecodome, 6.5-7m on streets.

Groups never finished halls or gambit last week xd

#

And i feel like i play sub at a fairly high level

#

But nothing past a 16 unfort my team hasnt wanted to ptr at all lately

hazy breach
#

Mostly looks like they just need to nerf MM and frost dk

plush roost
#

Yeah mm, fdk, arcane all jesus tier rn

nova cairn
#

Naa buff them

#

Just to solidify the comp

hazy breach
#

But idk surely they buff assa a bit, both deathstalker tier and fatebound tier is horrendously downbad

vale pine
plush roost
#

Yeah it should be an assa season with the way dungeons are designed ngl

void ocean
#

i mean idgaf bout mm

plush roost
#

But assa is downBAD

hazy breach
plush roost
#

But honestly after those 3 specs i think meta feels fairly balanced

hazy breach
#

Rawdogging first and last boss without any adds ontop of them

nova cairn
#

Eco dome is such an unfun dungeon

#

You can tell a ranged person made that dungeon

plush roost
#

Yeah bosses as assa kinda cringe on db

#

I think the strat for ecodome

#

Is just gonna be everyone stackup on a wall and bait warps/farstalkerd there

hazy breach
#

Ecodome timings on the bosses seemed insane for sub no

plush roost
#

Yeah

hollow spear
#

I feel like gameplay and timings in general are quite good for us next season

nova cairn
#

Shock horror it’s another sub tier

hollow spear
#

It's just a numbers game

plush roost
#

If youre flag on pull on awazj you get your next set on javelins and your next set on the double burn

#

Very nice

#

Kinda janky on last boss tho, i feel like i wanna send cds on the pack before so flag comes up during the triple clone section

lilac stag
lilac stag
hazy breach
#

And natty dances for spears

steel zinc
plush roost
#

Yeah i think if fdk is good maybe people start routing around 90s and pull that boss so cds line up

Trinkets generally have a "budget" of power allocated to them.
Those with passive agility on them typically have roughly 70% of the budget in the passive agility and 30% of the budget in the active effect, whereas the opposite is true for trinkets with secondary stats as their passive (making them 30% passive, 70% active)

#

And since sub does the vast majority of our damage during out burst, we want as much of the budget to be in the on-use as possible while as little as possible in the passive

#

Which is why trinkets like the ecodome one or house of cards arent that good

#

And why something like transmitter pre-nerf was outsimming house of cards, depiste being 39 ilvls lower

#

Sometimes they end up with trinkets that have more than the "budget" should allow them too, either because of bad math or because they want that particular trinket to be good (raid trinkets often get higher values than dungeon trinkets to incentivize raiding for example)

devs just do their job and are most of the time doing their best

the term dev is used pretty broadly

no one is seriously saying "that jr who got this feature is at fault for the backlog"

swift tinsel

I absolutely blame the company directly for how things have gotten

pulsar hemlock

I'm hoping for a pass on our hero talents moreso than anything else.

swift tinsel
#

they're the ones determining what resources go where

pulsar hemlock
#

Just any positive attention at all for them.

i am just saying, many of the devs are probably very pationate about what they do but have a lot of stress and deadlines limiting them.

proven plover

Usually its not a dev but management issue

brittle plinth

If Blizzard had held for what? an extra 4-5 days before seeking outside funding, the whole story would be different

Devs aren't the ones firing QA

Vivendi was where things got muddy

pulsar hemlock
#

I imagine this patch cadence can't be easy to manage

vale pine
#

its in my opinion just a death spiral atm

brittle plinth
#

We also have a perception of "knowing best"

vale pine
#

blizz tries to push faster release

#

lead decides to try to re-use content, turns out re-use content still requires extra dev time

pulsar hemlock
#

Quality and content are both taking a hit as a result now

vale pine
#

so now they are still down time and need to cut content or delay whatever they had planed

#

which leads to even more of the same problems

proven plover
#

Dw devs will go but no one needs devs anyway, they are just eating away on the profits when there is now AI to replace them fully and cheaply Pepegrin

slate lantern
#

midnight will be a crux point for the game i feel, just based on when the layoffs happened and the increased patch cadence

vale pine
#

we don't know

#

maybe they used all the time to work on midnight

pulsar hemlock
#

I fear the Midnight reveal this month may just be a player housing showcase and little more, I hope to God I'm wrong.

and we get a major overhole of the entire game again legion style

After the World soul saga for sure this time

Im obviously biased but i feel like theyre not putting nearly enough value on class tuning and balance, since thats the lens everybody experiences the content through

Feel like we are overdue for a stat squish again

vale pine
hazy breach
#

More of an afterthought it seems

vale pine
#

well the theory i hear lately is

#

that they just use the time for next xpac

#

so ofc they do less work now

#

but it might as well be a big baloon filled with copium

vestal escarp
#

But fuu, next expac is used to buy time for the expac later

vale pine
#

also we might see less changes

pulsar hemlock
#

something something midnight is metzens baby

vale pine
#

because of how much complexity talent trees have

limpid sage
#

Is there a public spreadsheet or something for cd timings next season?

vale pine

if you buff x, it can make something else op

If shadow blades is on CD and my shadow dance + symbols are up (1 charge is ready, 2nd charge is coming off cd), whats the timing I should use to know if I should send it vs wait for the next shadow blades?

as the game was very much a lot simpler back then, content was trivial to the point you as a player could make it hard for yourself

mop is the first "modern" wow, with most systems in place

I like current trees, but it shows they cant actively iterate or balance all of them

which imo is the problem

hazy breach

When you press flag you want to have 1 dance stack and ~35s left on your second charge

If they had worked on sub tree and made it better the perception we would have of it would be vastly different

but they havent, so we dont like it

Yep

swift tinsel

As with sin and sub being prime examples

slate lantern
proven plover
# vale pine legion might be the turning point you could say not much changed since

Well legion introduced a lot of Additional nuances to the game. Class Halls & their Progression, suramar as a massive progressive storyline, artifact weapons with the runes you socket into them + the whole Progression System associated with them, the legendaries, World quests being pretty much Mandatory in order to bump blp for the legos which by the way made almost ALL aspects of the game worthwhile because it could award you the legendary you need

slate marlin
#

Bc when developers work on a tree, it shows how good they are

swift tinsel
#

like conceptually is awesome

slate marlin
swift tinsel
#

but they don't devote enough time and attention across the board to keep it from feeling like ass for most specs

vale pine
#

Oh i missread, my bad

#

ye i agree

slate marlin
#

is it most specs, tho?

#

class trees for example, warlocks is absolute trash

#

But demo and destro tree dont look bad

vale pine
#

but i think its just Lgeion added a lot of the new systems which are still in place:

  • Mythic+ as a core new gameplay element
  • Progression systems with the legendary weapon and details about them (e.g. skill tree, ap etc.)
  • Worldquests as a new casual oriented content type.
    And a lot of optional content and systems which made sense
#

Legion was also making each spec unique, and did try to seperate themes and gameplay

#

while more modern xpacs do the complete opposite

#

some things got completely dropped after legion

#

a lot of it was optional content like secrets, pickpocketing, etc

#

but even thinking of economy/crafting

hollow plinth
#

legion was the last seriously innovative xpac i think

then it's been riding the same ion train since then

vale pine
#

i don't know how many remember blood of sageras, as a currency you got passively in any content you do

#

you could enchant your gear too to get more of it

hollow plinth
#

dragonflight was close with flying and profession stuffs

vale pine
#

and it was a universal currrency to egt crafting materials

swift tinsel
#

if they did something useful with resonant crystals, holy

vale pine
#

dragon flying was a means to an end

swift tinsel
#

they're nice for early stuff

vale pine
#

there was a problem with flying, mostly how people used it

swift tinsel
#

but once you're doing any kind of actual content they're just nothing currency

vale pine
#

e.g. before dragonflying you had people just fly over one objective, and as it spawns drop kill it

#

this was not a good player experience

#

dragon flying basically removes this player behaviour entirely

#

by not allowing you to do that

#

its basically a indirect way to nerf flying

#

but i agree that its inovative as it changes a fundermental part of the game

#

professions i am not sure i would say so, you either love or hate the new system

#

similar to talent trees

df was a direct response to increase player interaction

slate marlin

because content was deisgned with less detail and bigger distances

Housing will save the game if and only if they let me make trap rooms and a mini makgora arena

is wow's combat system goated?

#

i actually wonder

swift tinsel
#

I don't think it is

#

I think its overall deent

#

but by no means goated

vale pine

because many of the action rpg's have a more natural feel to rotation and abilities

hollow spear
#

The problem is more that the competition drops the ball

slate lantern

osrs combat goated

hollow spear
#

GW2 feels better imo

slate marlin
#

idk i love wow combat

swift tinsel
#

wow's melee combat especially feels pretty clunky to me

vale pine
#

e.g. ask stealthi to show some of the abilities of lost ark (i think thats what he plays)

hollow spear
#

GW2s feel in wow raids

#

That'd be goated

warm depot
#

wow combat is good in that its fluid for mmos but its very much mmo rather than action oriented like gw2

vale pine
#

and they feel impactful in animation, and rotaitons feel thought out

warm depot
#

yes in gw2 there are rotations but its more action-y than wow if that makes sense

slate marlin

But yeah, i just want wow to not be rushed, and them working more on specs

and ill be happy

vale pine

i think it depends what you compare it to

lilac stag
swift tinsel

yeah Lost Ark def has a tactile feedback with abilities

vale pine

is wow combat better than ffo?

is it better compared to more fluid/action based systems? i don't know
