#

are we gonna use bp more?

maiden oar
#

im more optimistic because theres no situation like before with transmitter and nerfed s2 tier set + baseline buffs but who knows

tribal blade
#

i haven't played sub tea in a hot minute so not 100% sure

slate marlin
#

oh more

alpine wraith
#

it does proc quite a bit if you are not careful

#

specially in st

slate marlin
#

i read anymore, my bad

void ocean
#

im not careful

tribal blade
#

actually nvm i forgot storm costs a ridiculous 45 energy now

slate marlin
#

Stupid af imo

#

45 is too much

tribal blade
#

if we had old 35 energy storm we'd be chilling

steel zinc
#

tea is a gamechanger playing wise with the new tier feels imo so much better then cb

#

way better sustain

slate marlin
#

it slows aoe out of dances

#

so goal accomplished

void ocean
tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

the ida we had is to buff finishers so making storm cost more was ok

#

but they only heard the last part

tribal blade
#

you can play like sin and not use abilities when you're below X energy 🙂

#

if you really don't want to proc tea

void ocean
#

i mean i didnt care even as sin 😄

steel zinc
tribal blade
#

oh yeah i don't care as sin either

void ocean
#

wise guys said its not much of a gain so...

steel zinc
#

you see tea coming up you just chill anyways

tribal blade
maiden oar
#

i guess with vigor its a lot less punishing to do that

void ocean
#

is nado gonna be again for cdr?

alpine wraith
#

for ruptures mainly

steel zinc
vestal escarp
#

uuuuuh

steel zinc
#

pack is getting stacked you rupture

vestal escarp
#

build is not picking replicating

steel zinc
#

I wont play nado if its just 1%

vestal escarp
#

the heck we rupturing?

steel zinc
#

like cba

alpine wraith
#

you do use replicating for m+

steel zinc
void ocean
#

thats even more cursed than nadoing ouside for cdr

alpine wraith
#

that is why you dont see finality or rotten with points in

steel zinc
#

rotten is fun to play

#

I think its undersimming

void ocean
#

i miss nadoing inside cds for da bomb

vestal escarp
steel zinc
#

spreading 100% crit storms and applying 100% fw with it is goated for bp spam in cds

void ocean
#

SL good times

steel zinc
alpine wraith
void ocean
amber blaze
tribal blade
#

you legit could have such good key awareness during SL playing sub since you were just storm>BP

#

over and over

#

and over

#

and over

vestal escarp
#

anyway nado is in sims because no implementation for tfd

#

it's an obvious swap

chrome palm
#

Swap with what

vestal escarp
wheat elk
#

might have answered it already but there a estimation on how much this build differs from the previous one?

tribal blade
#

i don't think you can swap nado for tfd

chrome palm
#

What if you run both

void ocean
chrome palm
#

Are you running finality

amber blaze
alpine wraith
#

or with tornado

#

oh wait

chrome palm
#

I was doing dark brew build

void ocean
#

we saw that

vale pine
alpine wraith
vale pine
#

i don't think you will want to create 2 gearsets

alpine wraith
#

i do find no replicating interisting but also

chrome palm
#

Rupture does so much damage with rs and db

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

likely

#

or maybe between the coups and extra sec techs you are more busy

steel zinc
#

Also bot might tell not to run first dance but that is some cook

#

imo also misleading for newer rogue players

alpine wraith
#

tbh we are kinda triple and double dancing a lot in aoe

tribal blade
#

no replicating build would be cool on lower key builds

alpine wraith
#

spreading rupture to 3 or so targets whole things come is good

tribal blade
#

not sure about higher keys

alpine wraith
#

even withour replicating

amber blaze
#

and i see verse is worse than crit now? so stats will be something close to assa?
mastery>=crit>versa>haste?

steel zinc
#

you get full value

tribal blade
#

yeah rupture does a lot of dammy

steel zinc
#

beste use of any cp

tribal blade
#

also lower energy cost

steel zinc
#

yes

tribal blade
#

double win

chrome palm
#

Rupture helps with burst too

tribal blade
#

it's like investing into your next go

chrome palm
#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

on higher keys you can play the db build

chrome palm
#

Little tornado before the cd window to spread ruptures

#

Kinda vibe ngl

vestal escarp
steel zinc
#

but if your comp needs st you play more st

vestal escarp
#

it's still pathetically low even when you go out of your way to rup stuff

alpine wraith
#

it is around 12-14% or so for me

alpine wraith
#

that is quite decent

steel zinc
chrome palm
#

I think my rup damage was like really good even on 15 ak

tribal blade
#

i remember it doing quite a bit

#

obv with DB build rupture goes crazy

#

but even w/o DB build rupture does good work

#

spreading rupture feels better on sub tbh

#

i have to say

tribal blade
#

on sin it's annoying

chrome palm
#

im getting carried by rupture wtf

tribal blade
#

higher than BP 🙂

chrome palm
#

maybe i was overzealous

vestal escarp
#

Bp is split

tribal blade
#

this is ptr right?

vestal escarp
#

anyway

chrome palm
#

yeah this was ara kara 15

tribal blade
#

ok yeah cool

#

seeing sectec that low feels weird haha

chrome palm
#

although i do wonder if you could run veiltouched

#

is it bad or something

tribal blade
#

ngl i would rather run VT

#

and not think

chrome palm
#

seems like a decent alternative to tornado if youre running rs

tribal blade
#

it's a flat +5% magic dmg

chrome palm
#

sometimes mobs arent grouped for tornado

tribal blade
#

and we do a lot of shadow dmg

chrome palm
#

also has to be a st gain

tribal blade
#

it def is a ST gain i think

steel zinc
#

the ds sim doesnt account for so much and forget so many things.

tribal blade
#

nado is useless on st

chrome palm
#

im gonna try that next time

#

maybe nado is bis and i just dont see the vision

tribal blade
#

honestly nado will feel not as bad to use with vigor talented

#

part of what made nado feel so horrendously bad was using it with 100 energy pool

slate lantern
#

i made this when i was last trying to learn sub, is this no bueno? I had been doing the rotation normally with bs not realizing i had it macrod to sd

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

it is fine unless you enter dance without fw and backstab does not proc it

#

and proc shadowcraft after sec tech

#

then the evis wont have FW

#

and you go aaaaaaaa

tribal blade
#

i had a macro like that when we were playing old TFD

#

when it gave you 4 CPs on entering dance

slate lantern
#

ok weird the macro was only on my stealth bars which would never proc anyways since im not pressing sd when in stealth/subt HMM

chrome palm
#

ah the classic

#

i am gonna do this

#showtooltip Shadow Dance
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
/cast [bonusbar:1] Backstab; Shadow Dance
#

i think i mightve munched some teas by not having cast sequence in there

tribal blade
#

thanks for reminding me

#

since i spam 2nd dance during blades

chrome palm
#

i dont wanna think about how many teas ive wasted

tribal blade
#

hahaha

#

it's just the same thing as the sin shiv macro right

chrome palm
#

i just ripped it from that

tribal blade
#

ok cool

slate lantern
#

is there any world where we could add a cancelaura to sd? found as i was practicing that i would sometimes mess up the second sd in the burst if i was just a wee bit too quick on the trigger

tepid trellis
#

huh?

#

what do you wanna cancel?

lilac stag
#

Killing spree. omegalul

slate lantern
slate lantern
lilac stag
#

you’re dancing back to back

slate lantern
#

ya

lilac stag
#

be patient

slate lantern
#

okie

lilac stag
#

It’s not outlaw

tepid trellis
#

canceling it early would be even more Susge

lilac stag
#

You can see your gcds

slate lantern
tribal blade
#

the only world in which you would want to cancel aura dance is if you just finished killing a pack and need to restealth but are still in dance

clever holly
#

In the beginning that happened to me too and I thought I'm some kind of god gamer cause I have more dance charges then other rogues

slate lantern
#

ok ill work on being patient, i have the honk wa from zacs that tells me when i can press again i just get antsy about fitting everything in the burst

pastel quiver
tribal blade
#

tea should have a 5 second built in cd on it

#

there's no world in which you're using multiple charges in that time frame anyways

vale pine
#

not the worse idea

#

tea is kinda meh

chrome palm
#

i hit 5 target dummies and shadowcraft and brew are very close, i have to wonder how they compare on bigger pulls

plush roost
#

Brew feels better in high target counts

#

especially if you prespread ruptures during gather

chrome palm
#

it certainly does

plush roost
#

But shadowcraft is much more boss dps

chrome palm
#

need to do a double sub key on ptr

#

little head to head

brittle plinth
#

Deathstalker destroys everything

#

just repeat that

!fuu

alpine wraith
#

we dont play rotten

#

but yea if you play rotten it is fine mostly

night sparrow
#

Cold Blood cooldown now begins immediately upon use and has a 15 second max duration.

#

So cool

raw wadi
#

!wa

night sparrow
#

I don't get why CB buff is irrelevant on sub, I mean it's not a HUGE dmg upgrade but it allows us to use 1 CB without 1mn30 CDs right ?

slate marlin
#

wdym? its 45 sec

#

you easily get one out of cds

vale pine
#

mostly a qol for assassiantion

night sparrow
#

Sometimes when I used it (bc testing things) on the exact frame I get it back, it aligns perfectly with next 1mn30 burst window, so this change might allow us to consistantly use it isnt it ?

#

not consistant bc of procs during 1mn30 cds that make us use the last SecTec

#

Alright in fuu we trust

#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
placid elk
#

i told you sub will be meta, chat gpt told me

fleet wharf
#

what else does your crystal ball tell you?

placid elk
#

the wisdom that we got a choice to reroll if im not right

astral axle
#

and it still can't provide an accurate list of states which contain the letter c ICANT

placid elk
#

would help but im european. massachusetts has a c

lilac stag
astral axle

#

Chassamusetts

placid elk

haha he missed massachusetts

damn why is chat gpt so stupid sometimes

micciccippi

astral axle
#

When it had to double check it added MIssissippi bro

fleet wharf
#

i'm surprised it didn't throw all 50 states at you

astral axle
brittle plinth
placid elk
#

isnt he trained on idk.. the alphabet?

brittle plinth
#

in a round-about way

fleet wharf
#

it's gonna take all yer jerbs

brittle plinth
#

but its more about connections between words and that logic

#

so stuff like the above, is usually a blind spot in accuracy which is good at highlighting why we should use it as a tool not a source of truth yet

astral axle
#

it isn't that it is stupid it is incapable of knowing! POGGERS

placid elk
#

at least he's good at math

#

i waste my free questions everyday for work calculations

brittle plinth
#

the only saving grace is that I closed my practice down before this became a thing, the pain i'd feel every morning when some methhead had a chat gpt defense strategy in hand

placid elk
narrow shadow
#

Hey guys, we playing DS in M+?

#

I saw some buffs to black powder

brittle plinth
#

Yeah

#

DS is bis

#

make sure you go to wowforums and tell everyone too pls

#

ty

#

(dont actually play it)

placid elk
# astral axle

i think i made him do it. if the correct number is 10 i found the loophole

night sparrow
#

DS is a pretty boring mecanic on sin spec so no thx for sub plz

narrow shadow
#

All rogue hero talents are garbanzo

#

Gameplay wise

modest river
#

ive been wishing for a DS plus darkbrew tech for a while now

maiden oar
#

i like trickster

#

its not the best but its fine

fleet wharf
#

I feel we only like trickster because it gave us flurry

narrow shadow
#

And we got 0 visuals

maiden oar
#

coups cool

#

delayed shadowcraft less cool but it is what it is

slate marlin
#

trickster gives some very nice cdr

#

i think biggest issue with rogue hero talents is what they could have been

#

vs what we got

night sparrow
#

we'll eventually see what is/if there's next progression system with Midnight

#

CHAMPIONNES ! HEEL THE WOONDS ! AZEROS NEEDS YOU

stuck linden
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
plush roost
#

So while the overall of Darkbrew is better I actually think shadowcraft is just way too good

#

The boss dps difference on ST

#

is farrr too much

#

3:15 boss 588M, vs 2;15 boss 846m

slate lantern
plush roost
#

I cant read

#

LOL

#

Still

slate lantern
plush roost
#

1 extra minute for 60m less dps

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

i see no shaman there

#

might be why

plush roost
#

no shaman is less impactful on DB

alpine wraith
#

i prefer to play with shadowcraft anyway

slate marlin
#

2nd picture was a warrior buffing mm and frost dk

#

and you

plush roost
#

yeah ofc bshout is relevant

slate marlin
#

idk how that messes the tests

#

its not 1.8M dps still

alpine wraith
#

well people will try things some dungeons will benefit more from rupture spread

plush roost
#

That was halls of atonement

#

overall difference

#

Raw numbers DB did more total damage, dungeon just took longer

slate marlin
#

idk looks like 2nd dungeon u had better specs and/or players too

#

bc mm lower than ret is kek

plush roost
#

i mean these were just two examples, been doing keys all week and I find that Shadowcraft progresses bosses significantly faster than DB

#

which is more important than overall imo

#

kinda weird situation to be in

lilac stag
#

ST be pain garf_sit

slate marlin
#

normalize sht

lilac stag
#

normalize OH

slate marlin
#

if they normalize sht

#

would we play sword?

marble sail
#

Do we know If out talents will change any for s3? Like which we run etc

alpine wraith
#

depends how powerful the sword is

#

as they are allergic to make daggers with effects

#

yea we will play a bit diff talents

slate marlin
#

no cantrip dagger vs no cantrip sword, same ilvl, with normalized sht

marble sail
alpine wraith
#

fuu did some sims although some things need knowledge to know when to change

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

kinda both basically we dump finality

#

for other things

marble sail
#

Awesome thanks

alpine wraith
#

and in m+ you can play tea now

marble sail
#

ok thats sick

alpine wraith
#

well it is not a big change tbh you just macro it to dance

#

and try not to get it auto popped while outside dance

spiral sierra
alpine wraith
#

always trickster

#

DS is omegabad

spiral sierra
#

i mean he didn't say so

#

had to ask

night sparrow
#

the auto tea proc is just so dumb, okay it requires more energy management but it's eventually just an anti QoL feature

#

would be nice to be +x mastery and +x% energy regen

spiral sierra
#

how far behind is cold blood compared to tea now?

#

for M+

marble sail
#

it was very hard for me to get used to it, played rogue in s1 df and the proc was super weird imo

vale pine
spiral sierra
#

also do we just never touch tea? or do we use them on CD?

vale pine
#

we just macro it to dance

#

and cba

spiral sierra
#

kk

slate marlin
#

auto tea can feel bad but its a nothingburguer anyway

spiral sierra
#

if i just let tea be on auto pilot its fine i guess xD?

vale pine
#

yep

spiral sierra
#

still wish DS was better (feels like i do more with it on live rather than PTR tho)

hollow spear
#

Most people acting like auto tea is the end of the world would have probably used it in a way that decreased dps 😄

hazy breach
#

Macro it to dance and literally forget about it Surebud

plush roost
night sparrow

#

Don't think so

He's comparing builds

slate marlin
vale pine
alpine wraith
plush roost
slate marlin
alpine wraith
#

well make a cultured choice

slate marlin
#

ye tfd is too good

plush roost
#

Probably drop PE/impSht for rupture+tfd

alpine wraith
#

i do like replicating a bit yea

plush roost
#

I try that now

#

the crit chance actually

#

really helps

alpine wraith
plush roost
#

in aoe

alpine wraith
#

you could get tornado yea

plush roost
#

I actually really like tornado

alpine wraith
#

it is fine for what it does

plush roost
#

lots of big packs and its good inbetween cd button

alpine wraith
#

now

#

yea cdr is big

slate marlin
#

is pe better than finality tho?

alpine wraith
#

yea

vestal escarp
#

how the hell can you play without craft man

alpine wraith
#

finality is quite bad

#

even more with the bug on coup

#

with new set

#

think i will recommend this mostly

slate marlin
#

i didnt think pe was strong

alpine wraith
#

it is not strong just the others are kinda weak

#

same thing happens with wm and tfd in ST

#

where one longer dance is better than the krangle that WM is

slate marlin
#

makes sense

alpine wraith
#

across even 6 mins+

slate marlin
#

cant you swap pe for vt? or pathing

alpine wraith
#

and well remember flat % crit is more valuable the closer you get to 100%

#

i mean at that point you are just playing the old build

#

might be quite close with the rotten one

slate marlin
#

true i guess

#

never thought pe was even decent

#

guess i was wrong about it

vestal escarp
#

if you pick tfd you should always go into perception with invev

#

pv Laughge

delicate current
alpine wraith
#

problem is you lack DD so you cant go inev

#

or you need to drop replicating

#

maybe in some places you drop replicating but idk

#

think for most things this one is an all rounder

delicate current
#

And the sims haven't been updated for the lastest buffs yet right?

alpine wraith
#

dont think buffs would change much but likely fuu reruns the sims

delicate current
#

Just curious about the new number mostly

graceful crown
#

i like it

alpine wraith
#

inev is not symbols reduction

#

i do think this may be less st but idk how much

#

as you do lose DD and inev

graceful crown
#

i like that minigame of tornado and ruptures out of cds

hazy breach
graceful crown
#

for sustain dmg

#

with +6% crit with SoD, can we go with less crit for secondary stats or is just a good add

plush roost
#

flat crit value goes up when yore closer to cap

graceful crown
#

what was the cap of sub?

plush roost
#

this is my current ptr stats

graceful crown
#

u have like 15k of crit aprox?

plush roost
#

13k

graceful crown
#

ok

#

18-20k mastery and 18k vers aprox? thats ptr stats? or u used buffs

plush roost
#

about that ye

#

idk stats on ptr are kinda weirdge

#

Im just fiddling see how things feel rn

graceful crown
#

seems pretty

lilac stag
graceful crown
#

i was thinking about premeditation, is it really necessary?

#

for s3

#

we have very good cp generation now

plush roost
#

It makes your dances better in ST

graceful crown
#

cant we open with shadowstrike and 1 more backstab wait a little for energy and use SoD to take more adventage of its energy generation then start normal cd rotation

#

and get that talent to another side

#

idk im just thinking haha

plush roost
#

Being able to use backstab as first global in dance is very good

#

also messes up cds

#

cause now you're going flag > rupture > backstab > dance strike > sectecblades

graceful crown
#

thats faster yeah

plush roost
#

that or you're banking on sht

#

and you lose refunds in cds

#

idk premeds really good

plush roost
alpine wraith
#

yea premed is good mostly to not waste SHT

#

apart from the cps it gives and the DM economy

#

i mean it is not super strong but our dps per point is quite low

fleet wharf
#

For the general tree, we're just moving the CB points to tea right?

alpine wraith
#

yea

graceful crown
#

im liking it

#

i was not much a fan of CB

#

in s2 we had just a burst, but this new build with more sustain seems more fun

#

we gonna lose a little of ST right?

hazy breach
#

Yes

graceful crown
#

Its pretty anyway

delicate current
#

Are we dropping CB in raid too or just for m+

alpine wraith
#

only for m+

graceful crown
#

they fixed the rotten and now we dont use it KEKW

might wanna change that now

done at next ptr hotfix

#

They buffed sub on my birthday?! Big win

#

Can anyone explain why we sometimes storm between coups instead of SS or BS?

patent lichen
#

Not to proc unseen blades when it's capped at 4 escalating blade stacks I think?

swift tinsel
#

yes

#

to reduce escalating blade stack waste

this season played bleed build for most of my keys and was bored out of my mind

rupture as sub at least does dmg

im gonna do the same thing i did as assa, just drop 4 ruptures at the same target

(don't look at assa burst)

left ledge
#

There won’t be a 20% assa aura buff that makes me play assa for end boss prog Copium

remote eagle
# warm marlin 72%

why 72%? do i suck at math or is that 9215 hit is literally 21% of the initial hit? or is it correct after shadow dmg amps?

left ledge
#

The nimble hits for 72% while blades is up

#

Doesn’t actually count for blades

remote eagle
#

i thought nimble would hit separately with shadow dmg as blades after the buff

#

i might be stupid

warm marlin
#

you are not stupid, that's kind of what would intuitively happen. prior to this ptr update what happened instead was that blades just didnt interact with nimble at all

remote eagle
#

what is that blades hit on the screenshot exactly then?

warm marlin
#

its just the blades hit from the melee

#

i included it to show that blades was up

lucid jackal
#

Good thing this raid isn't pure st patchwork garf

yea i giga confused myself sorry

is there some sort of tricks of the trade macro i should be using for dungeons? '

#

i dont see the buff on my tank in TW

!tricks

wicked joltBOT

Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
upper narwhal
young crypt
#

ok ill try it out ty

quasi mantle
#

do note if you are using the 1 hour tricks your tank will not get any sort of 1 hour buff

#

they get the lil 30s precombat but once you hit and you get the 1hr buff, they have nothing and no indication you are tricksing them

steel zinc
#

are the changes now live or just nerfs? What is happening

warm marlin

steel zinc
warm marlin
#

from the pin neutral/small buff

vale pine
#

but expected

#

its the "worse" version

steel zinc
#

how much is this in ds?

#

does this change when to bp in blades?

warm marlin
#

mostly a mild prio buff since before u just covered up nimble being bad by black powdering

vale pine
#

can say once we have it implemented

steel zinc
#

ok tyvm

lilac stag
#

are we still saved?

astral axle
#

still be optimal. just sub optimal.

steel zinc
#

2nd boss you will play sin

#

like 50% 25% damage amp

#

execute

#

I mean also doesnt matter play w/e

lilac stag
#

I will play deathstalker sub on second boss and enjoy it.

warm marlin
#

the lion does not talent into deathstalker

slate marlin
placid elk
#

i swear rogue got the shord end of the stick with the hero talents

warm depot
#

we did

lilac stag
#

we got wacky inflatable tube man

keen dome
#

he's having such a lovely time

upper narwhal
#

We got a twig not a stick

placid elk
#

i dont think devs knew what they were doing, remember first iteration of trickster being tied to feint ?

upper narwhal
#

Rogue hero talents were some of the last to be revealed, they really feel like they ran out of time with them

#

nobody could look at Sub DS and think it's ok, same with Assa fatebound to a lesser extent

placid elk
#

i feel like theres a single dev working on rogue and he's mad because he got ganked in stranglethorn in 2006

#

for the devs in this discord and community managers, im just joking

#

xD

grand wyvern
#

(he is not)

upper narwhal
#

i find it funny that trickster ended up being the most cohesive hero talent considering how bad it looked on the first reveal

placid elk
#

yeah thats my fav one

#

deathstalker assa is.. ok, 1 minigame. fatebound cba

lilac stag
#

You can be arsed after the buffs kekdog

placid elk
#

nah i swapped tank ionsadhours

#

i got declined so much last season of m+ i gave up

I’ve just assumed at this point it’s an assa tier if you’re not getting CE in first 3 weeks. pepe_chad

It’s called Edge of Night Side of Darkness or SoD for short

Write that one down blizz devs

I’m waiting for EoN to come back, as an assa talent.

Nah you got that with engi

lilac stag

left ledge
#

You know what they need

#

The ability to press shroud and it acts as a roar

lilac stag
#

good call

left ledge
#

And they should put a debuff on the enemy that acts like mystic touch or brand

#

Increase all dot damage by 10%

placid elk
#

that would spiral fire mage out of this universe

left ledge
#

We can give something similar to sub rogue that increases all critical non periodic shadow damage on the boss by .5%

hazy breach
placid elk
#

give smoke bomb in pve back

hazy breach
#

Its still here

#

Its just called darkness

#

And isnt a rogue spell

left ledge
#

Shit shouldn’t do that much damage…

#

That’s our job sadge

placid elk
#

i wonder how op would be the "no targetting in/out of smoke bomb" in pve

lilac stag
#

Yoda says sub still dead. RIP

placid elk

still dead sub is

wicked joltBOT
leaden prairie

does sub play the jastor ring

#

i assume so

random comet
#

yeah, the haste value on it is very small and mastery is bigggg

warm marlin
#

its like 0.2% ahead of other good 684 rings its not a huge deal

left ledge
#

ITS JIGAAAAA BIS

#

IF YOU DONT HAVE IT DONT EVEN SWAP TO SUB

#

Real

the caps are convincing

#

I guess making things work with each other is harder than slapping a temporary mod bandaid! surely in 2 patches they wont forget why theres a bug making blades suddenly one shot mobs with nimble

vale pine
#

it all comes back to complex baseline design

switching from cold blood fatebound to sub still bugs out cold blood on ptr D:

are buffs confirmed to be up yet?

I think

Thats so pog

vale pine

5% is the baseline

#

so ye

clever delta
#

are we still bottom simming

steel zinc
#

we need another buff

#

gotta doom now more

clever delta
#

patch changes pushed to ptr

steel zinc
#

yes

clever delta
#

can someone test the blades

steel zinc
#

live now for like 1 hour 20min

#

its already tested

#

its 72%

#

not 80

clever delta
#

so we are fucked nice

tepid trellis
#

that certainly is a way to taking it

serene notch
#

lol

alpine wraith
#

well it just ended up kinda neutral

serene notch
#

im over here just glad its getting buffed since i was going to play sub regardless

alpine wraith
#

but hey one bug off the list!

steel zinc
#

I argue its a buff in premade group and nerf in a pug

#

no meme

alpine wraith
#

and dont forget the baseline buff

steel zinc
#

yeah baseline is also good

serene notch
#

5% aura buff right?

steel zinc
#

ya

#

still finality is bugged that costs so much st

clever delta
#

yeah but now the scissors open even more between in cds and outside cds dmg

alpine wraith
#

finality bug is not that much st because you can just use another talent

#

but yea

lilac stag
steel zinc
#

ofc it is

#

just still dogshit st in m+

#

but as long as you have adds np

clever delta
#

thats some gapping

steel zinc
#

floodgate is also made for assa

#

apart from last boss

#

alaways mutlitarget

slate marlin
#

Ye hes gapping so hard

knotty depot
slate marlin
#

you can pull mobs into 3rd

knotty depot
#

unless you pull adds into it at start

steel zinc
#

you always add to third

knotty depot
#

yeah never got into a group that does it my bad

#

I didn't push far enough for people to do that

slate marlin
#

want to see more sub tho

knotty depot
#

Yeah I'm really torn for s3 so far, and with the last batch of changes it's not easy to pick

#

It'll be my first time mythic raiding in years as well

#

really hard to see what might be the "meta" spec next season

tepid trellis
#

Neither

steel zinc
bleak night
#

fdk

slate marlin
#

Ill start as sub

night sparrow
#

Hey guys when you're talking about "shadowed finishers" you talk about the additionnal dmg from Shadowblades ?

slate marlin
#

can play assa with sub gear anyway

steel zinc
knotty depot
knotty depot
#

Yeah mostly thinking of optimizing for raid, but not sure which spec will be best

#

since I can play both decently

night sparrow
#

HA

#

I'm dumb lol thx

steel zinc
tepid trellis
#

Its basically free to swap between sub and assa

#

Assa does fine in sub gear with s bit of re enchanting

steel zinc
#

he went through most bosses

#

just play w/e imo

#

really doesnt matter its hc

#

also depends on your comp and what your raidleader wants you to do

knotty depot
steel zinc
#

but then again doesnt matter

#

2nd boss has 25% dmg amp for 50% boss hp

tepid trellis
#

Or if u dont want to make the decision you Can just copy rwf rogues

steel zinc
#

that either

#

or play like stealthi just sub 😄 (yes mugzee not)

clever delta
#

just copy NA rogue

#

::))

steel zinc
#

gearing wise sin needs forge trinket and you wont get that as rogue

#

you will get prism

#

fdk and sub rogue needs it

#

rest its like nice to have but not bis

knotty depot
#

Thanks for all the information that's really helpful

tepid trellis
#

Last time i worried about what spec to play for prog was legion

its always outlaw chad

steel zinc

Answer is always sub

Ey yo the final patch notes are here. Quite abit to get through so buckle up

knotty depot
slate lantern

#

but tbh I thought the last batch of assassination buffs might push it much closer in the raid

#

assa "burtsing " 50k dps hehe

#

thats even more than mm did

thats in aoe

proper rune
#

I’ll break it down. It’s a 5% aura buff. You’re welcome

#

Don’t forget it doesn’t work in PvP.

lilac stag
#

It’s a 4.1% buff

proper rune
#

However feel free to black powder people for an 11% increase

lilac stag
proper rune
#

I guess that’s the last of the changes?

lilac stag
#

Nah. Sub will get nerfed in 11 days

#

as is tradition

clever delta
#

doubt there will be reason nerfing sub

proper rune
#

Take back that 4.1%

lilac stag
#

Do they actually need one? kekdog

#

Any impactful rotation changes going into 12.0? Maybe we can squeeze 1 more dance between Shadow Blades with new trickster tier set?

hazy breach
#

Seems like deathstalker now Increases symbols duration by 3s instead of 2

#

So youll be losing more uptime during cds or not supercharge sectech

#

Neat

fallow nimbus
#

Until they touch deepening we won't really see the dream of 2

slate marlin
#

so more reasons not to play ds as sub

#

another blizzard w

#

they are in such a w streak holy

fallow nimbus
#

DS is the embodiment of WHY, HOW and WHAT

keen dome
#

And WHO

steel zinc
#

@vale pine shouldnt it be 10%?

#

These are the patch notes

fallow nimbus
#

You want supercharged cps, here more sod uptime kekw

fallow nimbus
steel zinc
#

bro if these go wrong live we cooked

#

that pure assa tier

#

and m+

vale pine
steel zinc
#

u sure?

#

Wasnt it 5 and then again 5?

#

ok but why does the aura say 10%?

#

Is it on live 5 already?

alpine wraith
#

we already had 5%

#

from before

#

so +5 it is 10

vale pine
#

^

#

the 5% we got on live

steel zinc
#

yeah true sometime like 6 weeks ago

#

sry for wrong ping

alpine wraith
#

too late now you are in the goremaw prison

#

and have to play it for 1 week

steel zinc
#

so sad that one of our capstones is utter dogshit

alpine wraith
#

dont worry rotten and DB are also ass

steel zinc
#

they dont even bother buffing it because of "button bloat"

alpine wraith
#

or well not ass but just not strong enough

#

if rotten still had the extra cp maybe

#

so you could premed +2 rotten

lilac stag
#

Classic 2 line sub notes while every other class had a book, or at least a short story.

#

glad this spec is perfect. Thank you blizzard. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

astral axle
#

sub owns catJAM

Obviously perfect specs no changes needed

At least they have animations

That you can see

delicate current
#

Animation*

#

Fel fart

#

But yeah no coup animation is beans

steel zinc
#

I can tell you you will if this goes live see 4 wl in the rwf

#

its the most broken thing ever

#

st aoe spead cleave everything

lilac stag
#

1 token assa rogue

steel zinc
#

warrior just their to buff

#

shaman too

lilac stag
#

how many SP is what I’m curious

delicate current
#

The rest of the slots

keen dome
#

Six and a half

lilac stag
keen dome
#

No one if them disconnected halfway through the fight

lilac stag
#

makes sense

steel zinc
#

whole rwf will be build around that. Like sometimes its two classes

steel zinc
#

like in amirdrasil it was assa rogue and aug and the rest was just their to enhance those

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

tier set feature

alpine wraith
#

kinda useless

swift tinsel
#

buff still doesn't match sod duration lol

alpine wraith
#

yea it munchs pandemic

lilac stag
#

at some point the realization will set in that they just don’t give a fuck about this spec.

swift tinsel
#

muches pandemic, doesn'tget extended

bleak night
#

buff to dry symbol holy

lilac stag
#

and assa is all they will actually work on

bleak night
alpine wraith
#

now while you are autoing for big HUNT THEM DOWN value outside dance

#

your symbols will last 3 secs longer

serene notch
#

how are the actual numbies looking on PTR?

alpine wraith
#

you can even maybe extend it 1 sec by stabbing TWICE

swift tinsel
#

shadow/nimble thing appears to be on ptr

lilac stag
#

mmhm

swift tinsel
#

too bad it wasn't the 80% but a buff is a buff

bleak night
#

bigly change

#

yuge even

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

you would literally do more damage

lilac stag
#

in the grand scheme of things. 72 to 80 for flurry. dracthyr_shrug

slate marlin
#

8% more cleave during shadowblades

lilac stag
#

AoE still poop

slate marlin
#

oh u need dh trio boss for hof

swift tinsel
#

you're also never happy about any change ever

bleak night
slate marlin
#

ill take all buffs sub can get

#

we all remember the incident that took place a couple months ago dodging buffs

lilac stag
#

We had that buff by mistake with the 10% OMEGAKEKW

#

meanwhile assa continues to feast comparatively.

#

So no, losing an extra 8% on cleave for 16 seconds doesn’t really matter imo. Just buff BP more at this point.

#

wait I got it. Nerf the tier for deathstalker sub. pepe_chad

alpine wraith
#

yea the nimble change ended up being kinda neutral

lilac stag
#

there’s your dev attention in a nutshell.

alpine wraith
#

but now more bursty pog

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

well maybe in overall it might be a little bit of a buff if mobs die just as our cds end

#

most of the time

wary plover
#

sims are not updated, right?

lilac stag
#

no. Add 4.1%

#

So basically 5.2

#

Still among lowest ST sims
