4% buff

graceful crown
#

is not bad tbh

#

we are MM now

#

:o

vale pine
#

def. isn't

#

buffs are good

#

and as the top specs get nerfed

#

the field levels out

#

also assassiantion is likely to play fatebound more

#

even tho they kinda avoided it before

slate marlin
vale pine
#

yes

slate marlin
#

still shit in m+

vale pine
#

fatebound is only good with low targets

carmine portal
#

idk if u saw my question earlier but what made you want to go from simply a player to a theorycrafter/class guide writer?

slate marlin
#

the one place where mark management is shit

#

is the place ds has no alternative

carmine portal
#

just an obsession with numbers or was there a lack of content so you filled the void?

wheat edge
#

the tierset + hero talent is cool for ST, it just still has the problem that it reverse-funnels and gets fucked as soon as a add enters the equation, so it will probably be played on first boss + the pure ST boss but otherwise its kinda fucked ye

graceful crown
#

subs sim much more at dungeon slice even without the last change of shadowblades?

#

didnt see this coming for s3

vale pine
stoic reef
#

Whats a reverse funnel

vale pine
#

e.g. I started out just dipping my toes into simulations with minor small improvements before mid legion

wheat edge
brisk onyx
#

what is "pre pull shananigan"

vale pine
#

but for those who played legion, they know that there was a bigger subtlety rework in the middle

wheat edge
#

and then also does less to the adds cause our cleave is based on the damage dealt to maintarget garf

vale pine
brisk onyx
#

🫑

vale pine
#

so you get 2 sperchargers

#

no disoriented cheese

maiden oar
#

did they patch predisorient

#

am i freed

stoic reef
#

But for what reason does this happen

vale pine
#

would be another one with minor impact

simple dragon
#

it's me or this season balance seems to be really bad for now?

#

in general i mean

maiden oar
#

oh ok im not freed nukosob

vale pine
#

but back to the question of what made you come a TC

graceful crown
#

sadly still, even with this changes our utility is still on bias

wheat edge
vale pine
#

the mid legion rework had very specific gameplay changes which needed a lot of work to implement in the simulation

#

and there was nobody who would make these changes

simple dragon
#

it's there any recent dps tests that can be checked?

stoic reef
#

Oh I see

vale pine
#

so, i did start writing a new apl from scratch to implement and test out the rotation

#

and later merged it with the baseline apl

carmine portal
#

And you've always been focused on Sub?

vale pine
#

well yes and no

#

e.g. in BfA

#

so after legion ended, basically the next xpac

#

mystler and me did create the baseline apl for all 3 specs

lilac stag
#

So i was only off .1%

vale pine
#

well 4.1 with cheeses

#

so it depends

lilac stag
#

I said .2 hah

vale pine
#

i did also untangle a lot of the aoe implementation for assassinaiton back then

#

we all 3 (mystler, koji, me) did optimize for exsanguinate

lilac stag
#

Still seems like we’re on the bottom end of sims but I’m also not surprised

vale pine
#

just to be clear, other TC's just joined later so me not mentioning whispyr, solo, or others is simply a fact of history

#

i mention it because some people did complain the last time i went over it

north schooner
#

fuu hates solo and whispyr confirmed Riotge

carmine portal
#

Love stories like this, the bridge between player and analyst (Theorycrafter or any other "numbers" roles) is so interesting to me

vale pine
#

But basically, what made me get from "helping out in discord, answering questions/etc" to Theorycrafter was the drive to know what the best rotation is and my methology was always to be open and try to involve the community as much as possible

#

wowhead guides came later, i got asked to take over from someone else who wrote it before

#

i am also happy we have more people who can contribute now

carmine portal
#

Theorycrafting is always better when the contribution is pooled, goes for any game

vale pine
#

everyone does it diffrent

#

so its very subjective

#

some classes/specs do it more hidden

alpine wraith
#

sub needs to do lots of on field testisg

vale pine
#

some have more or less contributors

alpine wraith
#

so most of us feel better being more open

vale pine
#

i don't think any class or spec is that diffrent

alpine wraith
#

because of how krangled implementations have been

carmine portal
#

good to know the story tho, there's a monk player I like who is sort of the same. Not the rank 1 brew but easily has the clearest, most concise guides and opinions informed by a devotion to improving the spec, not just their own gameplay

steel zinc
#

so supercharge right?

vale pine
hollow spear
#

Probably roughly 5.2 mio with predisorienting

vale pine
#

disoriented would be another small boost

vale pine
#

i also wrote a guide on a extrernal website back then and on ravenholdt iirc at one point

#

as mentioned, we now have more contributers

alpine wraith
#

disorient was like 0.8

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

or smth

hollow spear
#

But it's fair to not include disorienting, because it's unreliable and there will only be a miniscule amount of players who actually use that

alpine wraith
#

yea it is fair

shadow snow
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
honest yacht
#

I know this season is soon over but has anyone else have the m+ build actually both sim and do more st dmg than the ST build? Because that's the case for me

hollow spear
#

Wonder how hard dks, hunters and destro lock got hit

void ocean
steel zinc
hollow spear
#

If you have to delve into their discords: good luck

carmine portal
hollow spear
#

Uhdk also got hit, no?

void ocean
steel zinc
#

need warlock nerfs

#

idk how they dodge them

void ocean
#

i rarely go down to uh channel πŸ˜„

hollow spear
#

They got nerfed on demo

#

Which was the outlier

lilac stag
vale pine
#

both supercharger and dissorienting are about 1% worth

void ocean
#

uh dk didnt even get pins yet

chrome palm
#

2.6% for a prepull seems like quite a bit damn

graceful crown
chrome palm
#

not unexpected

vale pine
#

eleem is typically fast

graceful crown
#

like fdk is now not dealing dmg

hollow spear
#

Uhdk was outsimming fdk already before changes

vale pine
#

these patches are typically to unholy eu hours

hazy breach
graceful crown
#

yeah

#

i was being sarcastic

#

its completely playable spec

vale pine
#

so i am happy that we have someone who is awake during the unholy hours^^

graceful crown
#

and still has those graps

#

that gonna be really useful in m+

hollow spear
#

Eleem burning the midnight oil

void ocean
steel zinc
vale pine
#

eleems pin is 3 AM my time zone

vale pine
steel zinc
#

I am cooked now 1+1.4 =2.4 why 2.6?

vale pine
#

so the buff + both pre pull shananigans

#

because stuff interacts with each other

steel zinc
#

ok

#

ah makes sense

#

imo supercharger stuff should be included

#

since its nothing fancy imo

#

lots of classes press sth prepull

vale pine
#

supercharger is easy to do

alpine wraith
#

yea

vale pine
#

so ye

haughty mural
#

Desorienting not a much

steel zinc
#

yeah but baseline without expert mode

haughty mural
#

*so

vale pine
#

disorienting is a bit finicky

#

so i typically don't include it

steel zinc
#

how did you implement disorienting?

vale pine
#

wdym

steel zinc
#

What line do you need to add in the header of expert mode

vale pine
#

you just add the proc before the fight starts

#

so you get the extra use

#

its very simple

steel zinc
#

how do I do that in disorienting strikes to simc?

#

Sorry noob

hollow spear
#

I wonder what the time cutoff between wm and tfd is if you include predisorienting

#

Must be 8 min +

alpine wraith
#

you add 2 unseens ready

#

as if sec tech was used

#

but it is not on cd

vale pine
#
raid_events+=/buff,buff_name=disorienting_strikes,first=0,cooldown=999999```
alpine wraith
#

there

hollow spear
#

@vale pine does your predisorienting sim include the vanish opener?

vale pine
#

no

#

its the regular opener

alpine wraith
#

it is a bit more but not hugely

void ocean
#

oh pls lets not go to vanish opener again

vale pine
#

but if you want to vanish in the opener, should lead to the same result

alpine wraith
#

it is a bigger gain with pre disorient

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

The vanish opener is another 0.6% or so, assuming you have disorienting up

alpine wraith
#

but nothing crazy

vale pine
#

^

alpine wraith
#

dayum

vale pine
#

its not a lot

hollow spear
#

3% prepull

chrome palm
#

i will pog my champion for 3%

alpine wraith
#

the days of pre mfd dust kekw

hazy breach
#

Its only better if you have pre-disorienting

steel zinc
#

so its strike evis vanish strike flag rupture and then cds

void ocean
#

so if i manage to sec tech with my dying breathe, i gotta vanish in the opener

hollow spear
#

Predisorienting single handedly carrying our spec

void ocean
hollow spear
#

I think so

void ocean
#

thats how it used to be at least

vale pine
#

its a bit of a pita to do on prorgess

hollow spear
#

Strike flag rupture vanish strike evis

vale pine
#

but the vanish opener without should still be dps neutral

#

so its not like you lose sth

void ocean
#

would it work if i teleport out of the raid to sec tech smth

chrome palm
#

no it resets when you change instance

hollow spear
#

Depends on how you wipe. If raid explodes immediately you're murked. If it's a slow wipe you can use defensives and pray for cdr.

chrome palm
#

BUT

#

prepull stonks up because we have infinite rat mobs to attack on bosses 5-6

vale pine
#

you can just secret before you whipe

#

so you keep it

alpine wraith
#

ahaha will be funny explaining it to people

void ocean
#

i will do my best

alpine wraith
#

so you SEE your raid going belly up?

#

SEC TECH MY DOGGGG

steel zinc
#

also nearly every guild needs atleast 1min of wipe recovery

alpine wraith
#

time to make some clips

steel zinc
#

so 1min cd is nothing

vale pine
#

don't overwhink it ^^

void ocean
#

alright guys wipe... luv just jump... LUV...
sir i have 15 sec cd on sec tech

hollow spear
#

Wouldn't be surprised if they removed predisorienting

Guys, would it be worth it to craft embelishments for all 3 specs before the new season starts if I have a mountain of crests?

chrome palm
#

well your crests are being turned into fairy dust on august 5

#

so you might as well

#

if you have an embellished cape

#

you can craft something else with an embellishment

iron obsidian

no im not making cape

which reminds me i need to move all my embellishments off my boots anyways

Why didn't I put an embellishment on my sword.

One of the dagger specs for sure, quote me

more coup dam

the extra dm stack is enough

to make it worth buffing the 2nd coup

did they fix the tier set though

they did

alpine wraith

what bug

the 50% on first one?

buffing first coup

instead of second

ah

yea

sly shore
#

that too HOLY

#

huge rotational change incoming

alpine wraith
#

biggest change people wont expect

graceful crown
#

i want to see how this is a buff or what

alpine wraith
#

you need to sometimes pool energy/sht on coups outside dance

graceful crown
#

now thats working

plucky parrot
#

sorry potentially dumb question, is there any benefit to the vanish opener if you don't have pre-disorienting?

alpine wraith
#

to be able to coup twice

#

nope

#

you can rng a thousand cuts reset

#

but it is unlikely

tepid trellis
#

Thats the real question

graceful crown
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

also how it works with armor

plucky parrot
graceful crown
#

im curious, can be a huge boost on cd windows or just a 2% increase

plucky parrot
#

assuming no disorienting

alpine wraith
#

also because if you have pre disorient you begin first dance with coup ready

plucky parrot
#

yeah I get it for disorienting

alpine wraith
#

almost

leaden prairie
#

sub

native zodiac
plucky parrot
#

but was unsure if there was another reason if you didn't have disorienting up

alpine wraith
#

if you dont have disorient it is whatever

tepid trellis
#

Its Just during blades tokin

#

Coup storm coup

native zodiac
#

Ah alright, guess ill hit a dummy a bit later

weak flame
plucky parrot
# tepid trellis Its Just during blades tokin

does that rule change in aoe? like let's say you're sending a dance outside of SB and you proc coup, would you still be fine with wasting unseen procs or is there value in storm?

tepid trellis
#

if there is enough targets to get full cp from storm id storm

plucky parrot
#

yeah that's what I've been doing on ptr

#

but unsure whether the ub strike has more value with nimble

tepid trellis
#

well this way you get the dmg from it still

#

but dont waste the stack it gives

nova cairn
#

Ahh so

#

On law you would double coup

#

But sub if you have enough targets you storm then 2nd coup?

#

What do you do in ST

tepid trellis
#

in blades

#

storm

#

outside of blades

#

ignore

#

on single target

nova cairn
#

just double coup

#

or build to 6/7 then 2nd coup

tepid trellis
#

coup storm coup

nova cairn

Ye but outside blades

u cant press it back2back as sub unless you get shadowcraft

Compared to being 65%

they needed to nerf nimble right blizz?

ofc they do

surely it's 20%

the "matching percent" wording is so oddly specific

it's good that the damage is going into cds anyways

you know, they could have cleared the confusion by saying 72/80% in PVE and 66/72% in PVP. Dunno why they left it ambiguous like that

does this change the target count at which we BP during blades

#

i'm assuming evis gains a bit more value

tepid trellis
#

we do not know

#

need the changes to hit the server so we can check it

alpine wraith
#

yea it is 50/50

slate marlin
#

you cant build them while coup buff is active

#

so u storm

placid shuttle
#

What trinkets will we use next season

nova cairn
#

@tepid trellis

#

Do you still use atrocity UI

alpine wraith
#

we will likely use prism

#

and then a passive one being antenna/cosmic hunter/pacemaker etc

slate marlin
#

(sarcasm)

tepid trellis
nova cairn
tepid trellis
#

no

#

well in the current version yes

#

but in the coming one no

nova cairn
#

Okey cool tyty

swift tinsel
#

That reminds me, I should put coup conditions in the FW one

lilac stag
#

DPS cloak stonks πŸ“ˆ

alpine wraith
#

i find funny they changed the boots

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

so people would not froth over lfr and N etc ones

swift tinsel
#

What’d they do?

native zodiac
lilac stag
#

EoN for boots for everyone

north schooner
#

when did they fix s3 4p? yesterday?

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, shadowed finishers still doesn’t work with it tho

#

Checked last night

north schooner
#

let's not get crazy

swift tinsel
#

Baby steps

north schooner
#

the 5s buff is still buggy unfortunately

haughty mural
swift tinsel
#

Yeah was really hoping they’d change the EB temp buff

tepid trellis
north schooner
#

I don't get what causes it to show up delayed, it doesn't seem consistent

tepid trellis
#

my guess is ptr bs

#

server is garbage

swift tinsel
#

^

north schooner
#

could be

swift tinsel
#

It’s the same with coup refund thing, I rarely notice it on live but on ptr it was really bad

alpine wraith
#

coup refund is kinda depending on SHT so it can happen either way

#

on ptr it does seem krangled a bit more because of latency

north schooner
#

even if it launches like that you have the alternative of having a timed WA show on coup cast, it's just annoying having to do these kind of hacks

swift tinsel
#

Ye I have like 16ms latency on live so I’m spoiled

#

So ptr has been agony lol

alpine wraith
#

best you could do is have a coup WA with 3 lines for the hits

#

so you know you can get a refund on those 3 ticks

#

maybe someone could make that one

#

im low brain power on WAs

swift tinsel
#

Same, been bashing my head against the wall with the double UB one and I’m scared to ask for more help in WA discord lol

alpine wraith
#

problem with UB too is that it takes a bit to know it has procced

#

shit buff EB can take up to 1 sec to update

#

aaaaaaaa

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, I had to pull the Event Trace info and that’s annoying af to read through/catch on ptr server unless I fly to Narnia

#

I can get the trigger state updater to accept the code Buds wrote for it but it still doesn’t trigger the sound

lilac stag
#

blizzard cd tracker will save us

hollow spear
#

Looks like it made big improvements, to be fair

alpine wraith
#

they are working on it

#

bigg

vestal escarp
#

Bigg work

#

To reinvent the wheel

grand wyvern
#

I am dumb can someone eli5 why we do coup storm coup only during blades?

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

from disorienting

#

or normal resets

#

and you are going to cap cp either way

#

and you get a DM stack

hollow spear
#

I understood your sarcasm to be directed at the cooldown tracker and I think it's going in the right direction

alpine wraith
#

well they make things hard to track for no reason

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

we still cant track resets from thousand cuts

#

why?

hollow spear
#

The fact that unseen blades cannot be tracked is obviously dogshit, no matter which tool you're using

lilac stag
#

the tracker stuff is wins

alpine wraith
#

because f you

#

if they make a good baseline system to hook into it would be bis

#

maybe that is why they want to work on it

#

likely the 1 button rotation and other things are helping the investor numbers

lilac stag
#

why UB is as cooked to track as it is makes zero sense from a gameplay or implementation stand point

alpine wraith
#

so they can allocate more recourses too

#

i hate that UB is not just a button

#

and you have X charges

lilac stag
#

something something button bloat. casually looks at enhancement shaman keybinds

swift tinsel
#

Lmao dude trying to bind my enh in a way that makes sense is actually aids

amber blaze
#

yo guys,
what trinkets do u run on ptr for sub
and what talent build is lookin good now for m+?

swift tinsel
#

Prism + one of the crit passives or sigil

lilac stag
amber blaze
lilac stag
#

fucking big brain dev coding there

grand wyvern
amber blaze
#

i mean prism

swift tinsel
#

Ah yeah the cancel Surging bullshit

#

Too

amber blaze
#

any macro possible?

swift tinsel
alpine wraith
#

so you take the L and strike

#

or stab

lilac stag
#

opener would be back up for 3min

swift tinsel
#

If you want you can, but that’s two blades with no trinket

grand wyvern
swift tinsel
#

Possible it’s worth to leverage if the fight deems it worth

lilac stag
#

pretty sure it was getting used as a 3min

swift tinsel
#

Otherwise if you play it like a 1.5min you have 8-9 stacks

lilac stag
#

Least of my worries

alpine wraith
#

rn it is used every 1:30 mins

lilac stag
#

At this point

alpine wraith
#

without using on pull

swift tinsel
#

Forge was getting played as 3min

alpine wraith
#

but you can change it a bit

#

very cool we can move dmg through phases now

#

if we cant

#

even if it is not as powerful as spymaster

swift tinsel
#

Reallllllly hoping for more trinket adjusting today or tomorrow

alpine wraith
#

could be possible

#

but unlikelyt

lilac stag
#

if we taunt them enough maybe it’ll happen

swift tinsel
#

They did delve ones yesterday

alpine wraith
#

they are more going into boss things

swift tinsel
#

Havent really touched raid

amber blaze
#

and what about belt?
is it still worth it?

#

or just pick any vers/mastery belt

swift tinsel
#

Belt gets replaced

#

The robot will tell you when

lilac stag
#

710

#

Ish

#

so don’t worry about it

hazy breach
#

Thats used with blades everytime

#

Forge is the 2 min one

lilac stag
#

So skipping on pull or no?

hazy breach
#

Doesnt matter

lilac stag
#

so safe to macro

swift tinsel
#

You’ll have one stack for pull so it’s better than nothing

lilac stag
#

And not confuse people.

swift tinsel
#

Ye

lilac stag
#

Then why are we telling people to skip pull?

alpine wraith
#

it just does not have any stacks sometimes

#

or 1

#

not like it is skipped

lilac stag
#

when someone asks about a macro

#

And you tell them to skip pull

#

what you think that actually comes across as? garf

alpine wraith
#

yea it has 1 stack so it is whatever so you can macro it i guess maybe have a separate bind just in case you want to skip soemtime

lilac stag
#

it takes what 2:30 to fully stack? 1 stack ain’t changing anything on pull

alpine wraith
#

y it is whatever most for in between moving you would want 2 binds

#

if you just use on cd macro is fine

#

what i dont like is the max stacks being so low yea

lilac stag
#

but that’s a much better explanation than just skip pull is my point. dracthyr_love

alpine wraith
#

true

lilac stag
#

hey there’s a 3 min burn phase with an amp. Skip the 90 second use

#

Need a separate keybind

alpine wraith
#

our worst nightmare would be if there was an amp like 2:30 in

fathom adder
#

prism is treated as a 3 minute trinket?

swift tinsel
#

No

alpine wraith
#

not really

swift tinsel
#

Forge is

#

Unless there’s a fight where you want a juiced 3min flag at the expense of a smaller 1.5

lilac stag
#

I can already sense we’re gonna need trinket FAQ with pretty pictures @vale pine

alpine wraith
#

ahaha big video situation

swift tinsel
#

Flow chart time

#

John Madden Feral Style

hollow fox
#

question: do we ever use shiv as sub rogue whether or not we're talented into it?

#

DPS-wise

#

im assuming to dispel enrages only

alpine wraith
#

yea only to dispel enrages

vale pine
hollow spear
#

Make it very simple

#

Very very

#

If sub ends up actually becoming fotm rogue (for raid) , we'll need it

plush roost
#

are the balance changes on ptr yet?

shadow snow
#

No

swift tinsel
#

Not as of last night

plush roost
#

Frigg

vale pine
#

we might not see a new build

swift tinsel
#

Said they’ll be rolling out soonish

vale pine
#

but lets wait and see

#

ohh

#

if so, nice

hollow spear
#

SoonTM

clever delta
#

Are we playing double on use

wheat elk
#

are the changes on ptr rn?

hollow spear
#

No

plush roost
#

nah

swift tinsel
#

Hotfix style iirc

clever delta
#

Or what you guys talking about

plush roost
#

pacemaker + netherprism

#

probs

hollow spear
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

Pacemaker/Antenna/Sigil all close

hollow spear
#

Void delve trinket got executed

clever delta
#

I did not mind double with dust back than

#

But duck that

alpine wraith
#

funnily enough the void delve trink might still be decent

#

just because of the sheer amounts of procs you can get in m+

plush roost
#

they nerfed it abit tho so im kinda shy on it now

alpine wraith
#

well not a bit

#

they smashed it into the ground

#

but still 13k mastery

#

not that bad

lilac stag
#

I still kinda wonder if you can find use for the versa one on add fights

#

but I haven’t been on to play with it.

alpine wraith
#

which versa one

swift tinsel
#

The dot one?

lilac stag
#

forgot name, it procs on target deaths

#

shadow dmg + versa

hollow spear
#

Euh, cannot remember that one

lilac stag
#

let me see if I can find it… on mobile

alpine wraith
#

interesting

#

maybe for outlaw

nova cairn
#

Naa it’s not great

alpine wraith
#

at 710 it would be like 3k or smth right

#

not that big

nova cairn
#

What is the next trinket behind prism for you guys?

#

On use

swift tinsel
#

Forge

nova cairn
#

Which one is that

swift tinsel
#

The 2min

nova cairn
#

Ahh

#

15% hp one

alpine wraith
#

yea it is prism>forge>pvp trink

#

then a passive one

#

although silly forge and prism

#

is only 1 % or so behind

nova cairn
#

Ohh pvp trinket

#

So maybe some pvp farming in the new season then

swift tinsel
#

Unless lily gets Hail Mary buffs

alpine wraith
#

yea likely for first week

#

it is also champion so you can upgrade it to base +9 when you drop 2 trinks

nova cairn
#

I can’t wait to get farmed in arena

swift tinsel
#

Farm boxes

alpine wraith
#

usually with the epic bgs and seasonal quest you get the conquest

nova cairn
alpine wraith
#

not even need to enter an arena

nova cairn
#

Ohh good

#

Cus fuck arena

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

fleet wharf
#

I vaguely remember seeing a guide to farm up boxes, anyone got a link?

random mason
#

Comp stomp and epic bg is fun too

swift tinsel
#

Sadly comp stomp was last week

nova cairn
#

Is there a outlaw mallet or sim for the trinkets

swift tinsel
#

Great for pvp transmog honor marks

nova cairn
#

Bloodmallet I mean

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

Trinkets kinda in flux atm so probably not yet

nova cairn
#

What ilvl will the pvp trinket be

#

And it’s 1min cd right?

swift tinsel
#

Champ track so 701? Or something like that?

#

And yeah 1min

keen dome
#

1/8 Champ is 681 iirc so 701/704 sounds about right

lilac stag
tulip gorge
#

So are there going to be any rotational changes next season?

lilac stag
#

Minimal

swift tinsel
#

Yeah looks like 704 for 8/8 champ

nova cairn
lilac stag
#

No

#

You have to upgrade with pve currency

nova cairn
#

Surely not

chrome palm
#

you must expend your runed crests

lilac stag
# nova cairn Surely not

PvP items don’t need upgrades for PvP. They need pve currency to upgrade their use in pve.

nova cairn
#

Okay well it’s only runed crests I guess

lilac stag
#

so yes, you’re using crests and valorstones

chrome palm
nova cairn
#

I may only upgrade to 4/8

void ocean
#

we gonna have again those free crafts

#

with just wethered crests and no spark

#

this season they were 629 ilvl

lilac stag
#

@vale pine assuming it’s still bunked. FAQ going to need a why doesn’t my Cold Blood work (after playing FB Assa)

vale pine
#

lets see if they fixed that bug

alpine wraith
#

ahaha one day

lilac stag
#

Since now there’s actually a reason to play FB assa

alpine wraith
#

we wish

lilac stag
#

FB wow is more wild than the forums.

brittle plinth
#

Which of you was playing DS that they felt they needed to nerf a spec no one plays lol

void ocean
#

its all me, i wrote several times here "DS is back, baby"

chrome palm
#

they caught on to us sandbagging DS sub this whole time besad

brittle plinth
#

Hahahaha

slate marlin
#

the only sub nerf im happy about

brittle plinth
#

Best psyop ever

slate marlin
#

deserved

maiden oar
#

whats behind pacemaker if you cant get a myth one?

brittle plinth
#

For s2?

maiden oar
#

s3

#

if they dont do dinars and your vault sucks

void ocean
#

.

slate marlin
#

well trinket tuning is still a hot mess, probably best to wait

brittle plinth
#

Why you worried right now

brittle plinth
#

Just let it launch

void ocean
#

..

maiden oar
#

im just curious is all

brittle plinth
#

Bloodmallet does a great job of this specific ask

alpine wraith
#

time to make a joke video DS is op guys and see if they nerf the tier set again

brittle plinth
#

Just gotta wait for the data

brittle plinth
#

Big brain

#

But low key we lost the 5% nimble but got shadow DMG during sb + 5% baseline buff

chrome palm
#

grab the fake details weak aura

brittle plinth
#

That's not bad

void ocean
#

chatGPT, generate me a ptr Salad Bar video where ds sub tops dps for 1.5M

brittle plinth
#

I got hopium

#

Someone doom me down pls

void ocean
#

its joever

slate marlin
#

no time for dooming

#

shadowblades thing is either good, or fucking good

slate marlin
#

mybad mybad

#

its shit

#

its bad

brittle plinth
#

Ya wtf

slate marlin
#

we will play deathstalker

brittle plinth
#

SB buff is nonsensical

slate marlin
#

need more buffs

runic trail
#

We'll break the game and play sub fatebound

brittle plinth
#

Death talker amirite?

void ocean
#

i even set DS now on Live, in order to properly welcome such glorious build

brittle plinth
#

Lol.

#

Man I know I will have to learn this bullshit hero tree

#

We memeing but something smells off

slate marlin
#

0% chance i play ds

void ocean
#

I'll play anything that puts me above damn fotm rerollers πŸ˜„

hazy breach
#

I mean they fixed a bug which meant it was getting stronger so the nerf is probably just to offset that

#

Maybe deathstalker is strong for pvp, idk

alpine wraith
#

yea you play DS for pvp mainly

#

although now with double coup maybe trickster is also good

#

if only evis was not nerfed to hell and back

wheat elk
#

can you turn a mythic m+ bost to the cantrip boots for the 50% buff to cloak with catalyst charge?

#

if you dont mythic raid

alpine wraith
#

nope

#

but you can get normal or hc boots

#

the diff is not omegabig

carmine portal
#

Bcus the boots are not part of the tier set so

#

Catalyst dont work

jaunty heath
#

@fervent carbon here is the sub discussion

haughty mural
void ocean
vale pine
#

lol

vestal escarp
#

The sub DS tier nerf was quite comical

#

No flame just funny

lilac stag
#

BP buff wold have been better comedy

alpine wraith
#

any day they buff snd and rupture

#

imagine

crystal bone
#

pinned msg PauseChamp

#

.... pogU

steel zinc
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
haughty mural
amber blaze
#

is it rly actual build that simmin better then prev season build ?

maiden oar
#

is there any situation with new tea build in m+ where you try and make sure it doesnt auto proc (st only? aoe only?) or do you just macro it with dance and forget

steel zinc
#

like first dance is the strongest m+ talent depending on dungeon

#

I think fuu can explain better why but you can also vanish during trash packs and get first dance back early

alpine wraith
#

yea you will play first dance now on st too

#

kinda funny

#

how weak wm is

maiden oar
#

wahoo

#

i want to disable auto tea so bad

clever delta
#

Is the method guide updated for s3 kushiSith

alpine wraith
#

ahaha next week will be fun

#

you bet i post mine on monday

#

and they change things

rain ingot
#

time to change my Assa Talent to Sub : )

tribal blade
#

horrible

#

when 2 specs use it for the mastery buff

void ocean
#

imagine trying not to proc tea between dances

clever delta
#

Do we need another 5%, will we scale like shit again ?

#

So many questions

void ocean
#

like literally would have to move away from the pc

tribal blade
#

i think in aoe it's very unlikely you go low enough in energy to proc tea anyways

#

in ST much more likely

tribal blade
#

and then finish>get energy back

#

with 200 energy pool

void ocean
#

ye but if we finish with BP...
