#

Is the 1st coup still buffed instead of the 2nd one?

hazy breach
#

No

#

But it still doesnt work with Shadowed finishers so its more like 30% rather than 50%

fluid moth
#

But it does work with the 5 extra flawless form stacks from the first coup?

hazy breach
#

Well ye

#

But we are supercharging the first coup most of the time, so its kinda whatever/neutral for them to change it

#

Probably slightly better as the second, but not a big diff

warm marlin
#

@hazy breach

#

got ur wish

#

prism stacks to 3mins now

swift tinsel
#

those crazy bastards did it

warm marlin
#

20 stacks woulda been cool to have some room to overflow if holding or whatever but ah well

delicate current
#

Oh shit big 3 min trinket?

#

Stonks?

warm marlin
#

pacemaker also giving 100 more crit at 723 as it does on live at 684 omegalul

#

not sure it needed that

alpine wraith
lilac stag
#

Did the nerf forge yet?

warm marlin
#

ye forge hit too

#

i cant remember how much it gave before but its just over 40k primary now

#

i think it was like 44 or 45?

swift tinsel
#

45

alpine wraith
#

ok i will go to sleep then check again

hazy breach
#

Is that 723

#

Of prism

bleak night
#

netherprism buffed 2m trinket nerfed

#

sub stonks holy

warm marlin
#

66k primary sounds like a lot

alpine wraith
#

it is a truckton

hazy breach
#

Wasnt it 3.8k before

#

I could be misremembering

swift tinsel
#

sec

warm marlin
#

i think its the same stat

swift tinsel
#

it is

hazy breach
#

Ait im just silly

swift tinsel
#

little surprised they didn't cut the stat a bit

hazy breach
#

Almost nobody wanted it

#

Most wanted 2 min one

lilac stag
#

I think everyone but sub wanted the 2 min

hazy breach
#

Only reason sub doesnt is because we dont care about BL on pull, it was really close for sub too

warm marlin
#

did pacemaker really deserve this though

wait but which hero talent

#

fatebound or ds

#

if its fatebound

#

maybe being red isnt so bad

lilac stag
#

Fate going to be ST or maybe where you have swaps and don’t care about losing add dmg

#

DS still in keys

warm marlin
#

@hazy breach sigil also apparently buffed

#

we executing

#

and prism did also get its passive damage buffed

lilac stag
#

House and Eye nerfs hahah

delicate current
#

I'm surprised sigil got buffed

warm marlin
#

really reinforcing how optional the dh boss is

delicate current
#

Very optional

new spec soonTM

Meaningful choice in fact

idk I just picked the spec up for the first time since bfa like this week lol

steady dune
#

I find its extremely boring

lilac stag
bleak night
#

Most rogues don't even like rogue they're just trapped here

steady dune
#

They need to give rogues a raid buff or smokebomb back

mellow hedge
#

i wish DFA and smoke bomb came back to pve

steady dune
#

we bring atropic poison but it often doesnt apply to a lot of abilities since they are considered environmental damage

fleet wharf
#

Yea why did they take smokebomb from us and give it to DHs?

short radish
#

because DHs steal everything

steady dune
#

blizz hates rogue

fleet wharf
#

guys, let me be in denial a bit longer sheesh

steady dune
#

Someone on the design team got ganked in classic and never forgot

fleet wharf
#

How long did we have mop smokebomb for?

short radish
#

they can call it Honor Amongst Thieves

fleet wharf
short radish
#

i did not

fleet wharf
#

the interview is only like 30 min, worth listening to

short radish
#

i would also like them to just give us a fucking buff

fleet wharf
#

lot of non-answers, but some were pretty interesting

short radish
#

either make everyone equal

warm marlin
#

certainly they could just give everyone a 60 minute raidbuff while they figure out how to make the niche dream happen

short radish
#

or remove everything

#

so we're still all equal

fleet wharf
#

we do have a raidbuff, it's atrophic poison garf_sit

fleet wharf
steady dune
#

they need to make every raidbuff just an aura

#

fuck this rebuffing meta-game, adds nothing to the game

tribal blade
#

this season was really bad with raid buffs in keys

#

if you don't bring a raid buff it was a lot harder to get into groups

fleet wharf
#

I feel iron wire baseline for rogues would get us into M+, no?

warm marlin
short radish
bleak night
short radish
#

just give us an actual functional raidbuff

#

that people care about

steady dune
#

crit is good

#

what happens if you have over 100% crit? Do you get super crit?

tribal blade
#

rogue used to have a crit buff iirc

short radish
#

yeah we did

warm marlin
#

rogue also used to have the dh raid buff

short radish
#

or it was proc on crit

fleet wharf
#

We also had magic dam amp too in cata, no?

#

well that was assa only ig

short radish
#

tricks used to also give damage amp

tribal blade
#

would rather they replace atrophic with a dmg buff

#

because nobody cares about DR

warm marlin
#

it can still be poison themed but being dr sucks

short radish
warm marlin
#

especially being a worse version of the other dr only raid buff

steady dune
chrome palm
#

prism buff and forge nerf

chrome palm
#

bigly

short radish
#

like that liquid or echo hasn't found some ultra cheese by stacking 4 rogues

#

and dropping a healer

fleet wharf
mellow hedge
#

i think tricks should give dmg amp like PI 🙂

short radish
fleet wharf
#

I mean the atonement thing stacked, but only got patched out when RWF teams were gonna run 2 discs

steady dune
#

1hr tricks trading with another rogue

fleet wharf
#

I feel this tier it might get patched out if they end up running 2 rogues

#

is 2 sub rogues even a possibility?

warm marlin
#

they did take our parry buff

short radish
#

yeah but they'd only run 2 rogues if for some reason

#

rogue damage stronk

fleet wharf
#

dunno how we stack up compared to the rest of the field, I thought we were in a good spot, esp with the numerous damage amps in 11.2

bleak night
#

6 rogues

#

Think of all the atro

lilac stag
#

Dmg amp copium

steady dune
short radish
#

does damage amp exist on last boss?

warm marlin
#

200%

fleet wharf
#

what are the bosses with damage amps btw?

bleak night
short radish
#

also its not like we're the only other class that does burst damage

steady dune
#

evoker

start blasting dmg amp execute as assa coolpanda

short radish
# mellow hedge 20 rogues

i always wanted to do a 20 or 25 rogue raid where they'd chain evasion tanking and swap aggro with tricks

open vortex
#

loom/araz/last two

#

idk the actual order

fleet wharf
lilac stag
#

Why

fleet wharf
#

aren't we really strong in damage amp bursts?

lilac stag
#

when WL, SPrriest MM Dev all exist

steady dune
#

probably just take evokers no? Their burst is on par, if not better

open vortex
#

ya you also have to take into account of externals for the burst classes

fleet wharf
#

oh true

lilac stag
#

sub will be good. It’s not cracked.

#

assa has a better shot at being cracked

bleak night
#

Rogue will be fine but it's not gonna be bring multiple good

fleet wharf
#

demo's still fucking busted in PTR right?

bleak night
#

Supposedly

warm depot
#

holy hell that sigil nerf

open vortex
#

demo didnt get nerfed in the last set of changes

#

so good chance ya

swift tinsel
#

wym sigil buffed

#

lily untouched kekw

open vortex
#

oh they changed it to a buff real quick lol

#

it said nerf when the notes first released

swift tinsel
#

ah

warm depot
#

oh

#

ok lol yeah i saw reduced by 45% monkas

#

s o now its definitely prism and sigil right

open vortex
#

i think good chance double on use

swift tinsel
#

I would imagine

open vortex
#

since prism is now 18 stacks

#

use it for every other

swift tinsel
#

prism + passive

warm depot
#

double on use is cringe!!!

short radish
#

wooooo burst

open vortex
#

i dont think double on use is that annoying lol but wont know until we know

bleak night
#

I already know

short radish
#

i mean nothjing really changes if we do double on use or not

#

just add /use 13 /use 14

fleet wharf
#

but it doubles the binds I need for my trinkets

#

how will I possibly manage

short radish
#

imagine not already having trinkets bound already (even though they are macro'd into flag)

swift tinsel
#

flag FeelsWeirdManS

fleet wharf
#

Wouldn't it be bound to blades?

bleak night
#

Don't macro shame him

short radish
#

oh y eah

#

blades

#

brains still stuck in last tier or something

lilac stag
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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

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

Btw, with the prism buff to 3 min, what other classes are gonna want that trinket? WW?

edgy zenith
#

Evoker is better at everything rn. swap to Dev my friends

#

fun af too

#

and you get fed PIs so you can be rank 1 dam

#

to help your epeen

stiff stirrup
#

What build are people playing for sub m+ in ptr?

edgy zenith
#

same build but remove CB and get tea

#

oh yeah, no rotten too

stiff stirrup
#

Tea? When did sub start needing energy

swift tinsel
#

its for mastery

#

gets macro'd to shadow dance

stiff stirrup
#

Oh so send it with cds irrelevant to energy?

swift tinsel
#

energy basically means nothing in cds

mellow hedge
#

yes

edgy zenith
#

yeah, you can min/max it by saving charges by not going below a certain amount outside of CDs but

#

fuck that

fleet wharf
#

it's QOL guys

edgy zenith
#

xDDDDDDD

stiff stirrup
#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
sharp lake
#

the tea thing is so weird because i get it but every other QOL talent in this game is a choice node with the good version and the easy version

stiff stirrup
#

Jeez so many bugs still

fluid moth
#

I wish auto tea was a choice node

tribal blade
#

they need to just replace tea with something else

#

it's boring and nobody likes it

fluid moth
#

That too

plush roost
#

They should make tea charges stack so i can slam 3 in my cds for 50% mastery

short radish
plush roost
#

While keeping the 30 energy auto tea so we can all hate ourselves

tribal blade
#

NOBODY

short radish
#

its so nostalgic though

#

its such an iconic ability

tribal blade
serene notch
#

…wait is this tea build ptr or we talking people running tea rn?

#

When did I miss this memo

tribal blade
#

you can run tea next season in M+ with the new tier

mellow hedge
#

make tea like a mini lust like mages get

#

daggers go burr

open vortex
#

make tea into whiskey

#

and its a 50/50 chance if u do double dmg or not

mellow hedge
#

ooo

#

yes

#

+1

serene notch
#

I still hold onto my mad dukes tea from sl just in case it bugs out and I can use it, that count 🙂

tribal blade
#

maybe the easiest fix for tea would be to either make it only either give energy or give mastery

#

on a choice node

serene notch
#

Auto consume tea is omega cringe

tribal blade
#

yeah that's one of those types of changes where it was probably being screamed about on the wow forums

#

but in practice anybody playing on the higher end of the game hates it

serene notch
#

That’s not what we means when we said reduce button bloat

tribal blade
#

the tea auto proc would probably be fine if it only gave energy

serene notch
#

I would say….less bad

#

It’s such a bad design choice

tribal blade
#

the entire thing is bad, i was honestly so sad when i first saw they were implementing it on the new DF trees

serene notch
#

Just thinking about playing around it so you can have a charge for CDs is …..is this real life?

tribal blade
#

haha true

#

but thankfully i don't think it's a big grief if you accidentally proc it

serene notch
#

We taking tornado again?

tribal blade
#

fucking joctaa

#

wants to come to my 19 but hasn't even timed an 18 yet

#

what in the hell someone i know had no shot of making title with how far behind he was

#

and now he's basically gotten boosted to 1 key off cutoff by 4k players

serene notch
#

Credit card best buff in game

#

Get boosted for a title such a funny concept to me, if your good enough to get title, you are good enough to title?

tribal blade
#

he's good enough for sure

weary saffron
#

look in the key history and see if the accs are name changed and server transferred right after

tribal blade
#

but he started too late and was too far behind

weary saffron
#

there are a loooooot of buyers with resil so

#

insanely inflating everything

tribal blade
#

he's a healer so he legit just needs to not die and do some healing and it's chill

weary saffron
#

yep

#

hes clearly still doing em

tribal blade
#

but yeah he basically just got all his top keys done within a week with just 1 group of 4k people

serene notch
#

I wonder what % of people pug for title

mellow hedge
tribal blade
#

quite a few

#

but what ends up usually happening is you find people to play with along the way

mellow hedge
#

is that considered a pug?

tribal blade
#

i think if you pugged most of your IO you pugged title

#

you have to be a serious madman to pug title gonna be real

serene notch
#

I wonder when I start to feel stuck not having a group to run with. Have not gotten to those nosebleed keys yet.

lusty epoch
#

Ok so we want to use shuriken storm between coups for next patch.
Do we still want to pool shadow technique stacks before flag? Now that we don't have a winning streak buff we can lose.
Any more changes to the rotation?

tribal blade
serene notch
#

Is that what my guy is charging for an attempt?

#

Wild

hollow spear
#

Big trinket changes, I like it

#

Other classes better keep their fingers away from that prism

serene notch
#

Yea please don’t make me hang on to old season trinkets for longer then I should

#

I ran transmitter for way too long

#

With nimble flurry benefiting from blades, do we not BP anymore?

tribal blade
steel zinc
#

Are the trinket changes in simc?

dreamy moat
steel zinc
#

ok nice gonna sim all of them then see what we like sec

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
steel zinc
dreamy moat
#

theyre on there

steel zinc
#

we want now loomathars trinket

#

I guess that thing is also good for sin

dreamy moat
#

yea its bug got fixed so big stonks for it

vocal pine
#

with new buffs would we still have bad downtime ?

dreamy moat
#

Id imagine a large amount of specs want it

vocal pine
#

do you think its the way to go for raid next patch ?

steel zinc
#

like the spec has downtime

#

!design

wicked joltBOT
#

Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".

steel zinc
#

also dawnbreaker trinket is bis

vocal pine
#

is our dps in the lows are good in next patch ?

warm marlin
#

no

#

slightly better perhaps but not good by any means

hollow spear
#

I want big burst and don't care about downtime

#

If I wanted something else, I'd play a different spec

steel zinc
#

yup

#

its like saying outlaw is fast

jaunty heath
#

Same but also at least let me burst even more

#

No such thing as enough burst

#

Give more

Also do we know if deathstalker is making a comeback in 11.2

Or is it trickster season again

warm marlin

also they randomly nerfed it this week despite it being awful so definitely aint no way

Its a PvP hero talent

I haven't checked anything about ptr so idk what the 2nd boss is at all

Another rik reverb situation

warm marlin

you will not catch me dead playing antenna

if its anything like it was on ptr pre fix

that thing was like 15% uptime

ick

#

What's the fix even

warm marlin
#

idk but it doesnt look too bad anymore actually

#

i can accept 40%

solemn hedge
#

so i play rogue since 3 seasons and always played sin/outlaw. want to get into sub for next season. how hard is it compared to the other 2?

#

i just cant get my head around all this cooldown handling

hollow spear
#

It's not that hard once you've gotten the gist of it. You have to be precise during your dance/blades windows and understand how many dances you can send, that's basically it.

#

It's usually blades window - 2x dance between - blades window - 1x dance and it alternates from there.

solemn hedge
#

got the hang of assa in like 3 weeks and played the whole progress as assa but my head can't comprehend sub playstyle

hollow spear
#

Gotta spend a while on the dummy to hammer in the dynamic ig

#

That's what I did

serene notch
#

Yea just Practice opening on dummies and you’ll get it

hollow spear
#

Once it clicks, you can take it into the real world

cursive oar
hollow spear
#

And what makes you think that

cursive oar
hollow spear
#

Afaik, the build he posted is better. You just have to include tfd and it should be top.

muted frigate
#

Is the on-use trinket situation cooked for sub or am I missing something

hollow spear
#

You're missing prism ig

muted frigate
#

Im talking farmable ones, fractillus is 5th boss for mythic and m+ only has the mastery on use from the new dungeon right?

#

soooo well be using HoC for a while i guess? at least its not as bad as transmitter situation

steel zinc
pure edge
#

Guys trying to decide if main assa or sub for S3. Whats the main diference between them? What you would say make sub funnier? How about St and aoe? This will be for m+ mostly. Thanks and happy weekend my lock picking friends.

keen dome
#

Which do you enjoy playing more? play that

#

If you like both equally then play them both, swapping between them is easy

pure edge
#

They both uses crit but assa stacks mastery and sub versa

keen dome
#

Stats don't matter

pure edge
#

Must be cause i played assa s1 but i see sub rotation kinda confusing

keen dome
#

You can just swap with one recraft, or just not care. It's not that impactful. Sub has changed substanially since Legion.

pure edge
#

But ive read that sub has the Best burst in game

keen dome
#

I'd suggest practicing it at a dummy and running some keys, see how you like it. If you like it, play it.

pure edge
#

Ye, since they both uses dagger that would be nice. Ill try that now that we are on off season. Thanks

nova cairn
#

So if you're gonna run prism in the new tier, on your 1st opener you just don't really have a trinket no?

somber sentinel
#

yeah though now since it stacks up to 18 we can hold for 3 mins. Double on use might be a an option

young mural
#

is this still true? echoing void not recommended?

#

well it doesnt really matter

#

this shit is gone in 4 days

nova cairn
#

This bad boy on opener

young mural
#

double on use alert?

haughty mural
#

Prism would be your second one

frigid schooner
#

so what do you boys play then on ptr

#

which trinkets

native zodiac
#

Double on use would go kinda hard

#

Especially with prism + forge

void ocean
native zodiac
#

Ye but that was bc branch was dogshit

#

With these 2 you can just macro them into blades and forget about them and it would just pop either one thats ready

#

Think someone showed sims earlier that we use the passive trinket from 2nd boss anyways though

vestal escarp
#

Hard to belive we got ashes with crit and we cant use it

#

Too bad

nova cairn
#

Double on use sounds pretty good with Prism

#

You should be able to fully stack is as well since

lilac stag
#

If you’re holding prism for 3, what are you using at 1:30?

random mason
#

Prism

#

Forge is 2min, prism is 1.30

nova cairn
lilac stag
#

If you’re holding stacks for 3 minutes….

somber sentinel
#

you would hold for 3 minutes between 1:30 and 4:30

nova cairn
#

But you don't have to hold for 3 mins

#

You could pop on minis at 2:15

lilac stag
#

The minis historically have not been that important, which is part of the reason we didn’t use 2 on use prev tiers

hollow spear
#

Sounds like a dps loss to me

#

My feely ain't craftin

tribal blade
#

double on use

#

notlikethis

hollow spear
#

Baseline I don't think it's good

somber sentinel
#

we'd end up treating forge like a 3min, but we were doing that anyway

hollow spear
#

Maybe if the fight timers make sense for it

nova cairn
#

This is my first sub tier

#

so

lilac stag
#

the stat distribution loss normally doesn’t work out with the on use x2. Maybe some fight timing allows for it but typically can’t which way we try to get the robot to force it to work, it’s a loss.

nova cairn
#

I am brain dead

lilac stag
keen dome
lilac stag
#

You self inflict it though

somber sentinel

#

true

nova cairn

surely not an assa tier tho

I will end it

warm marlin
#

Playing double on use only holds off the problem

warm marlin
#

You go from having nothing on pull to having only 9 stack prism and no second trinket at 90s

steel zinc
# nova cairn This?

Yes 2nd boss dropps everything for rogue dagger trinket off piece everything

somber sentinel
steel zinc
nova cairn
#

Where are the sub s3 trinket sims

steel zinc
#

Also Also depending on fight and prog you might play a CD Set without it like Nexus King mythic

tough mist
#

is sub still legit for mplus in s3 ? Doesn't want to play the borring assa

steel zinc
warm marlin
#

Nexus king is a giga prism fight if the dmg amp ends up being around 3mins exact like it was in testing

lilac stag
nova cairn
#

ahh tyty

steel zinc
#

And therefore sub will be busted no one has our burst even in bl some come close

Any damage amp fight really

last time double on use truly made sense was when you could wave your hands in the air on a 20 second prepull

#

Hello

#

Can someone explain what does it mean ?

warm marlin
#

Cooldown starts immediately on press instead of upon buff consume, and the buff itself is 15s instead of infinite duration

#

mostly a fatebound assa fix

lilac stag
#

watch assa try to cook up some double on use with 2mins

steel zinc
#

Assa can play also prism

plucky parrot
#

anyone know whether the new changes have been implemented to ptr yet?

steel zinc
#

Feel free to test it

tough mist

#

Only thing class that needs tuning is wl. Otherwise gl we will see 3-4 in rwf

lilac stag
steel zinc
#

But pretty nice it's now 90 sec

somber sentinel
#

i'd rather have 0 interaction than have to deal with deathstalker mark

steel zinc
#

You will play fatebound on St

Like it's not even close

So 1,2,6 boss

looking for mplus, I doesn't raid

keen dome
fleet wharf
#

I feel liking 2/3 specs is good enough reason to play tho

steel zinc
#

And it's not boring gameplay imo but that's subjective

warm marlin
#

Liking 1/3 specs is reason enough? You have one banger spec that’s perfect for you but it’s attached to 2 others so suddenly it’s unplayable?

If you’re “pushing content” you are best served to be able to play all three specs

#

don’t have to like em

fleet wharf
#

but outlaw hasnt been meta in... i dunno actually

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

If outlaw was ungodly ahead on a prog boss, wed be playing it

keen dome
#

I'd still be Sub

steel zinc
#

Outlaw is committing a craft to a weapon that you can't use as sub or sin. That's been always the issue

fleet wharf
#

I haven't gotten the hang of outlaw yet, but i dunno man, i think there's decent enough reason to legit want to play rogue for progging

lilac stag
#

M+ aotc, mid tier ce it doesn’t matter as much if at all

fleet wharf
#

besides being a dps class with 3 to pick from

hollow spear
#

Idk, sub looks pretty good to me for this tier

steel zinc
fleet wharf
vagrant fulcrum
#

yeah sub's timers are solid for some of the bosses

warm marlin
#

also there are so many one spec rogue one tricks (much more so than other triple dps classes)

vagrant fulcrum
lilac stag
#

Look at the outlaw one trick swapping to dust sub for 1 boss during prog. garf_sit

vagrant fulcrum
#

remember our population is just a lot smaller than other classes

fleet wharf
#

we're just invis. there are dozens of us, dozens, you hear?

keen dome
#

In relative terms, we might have the most one-tricks but ye, overall I imagine Mage or Hunter have the absolute highest amount.

#

Honestly Paladin might be the highest

fleet wharf
#

ret onetrick

vagrant fulcrum
#

most missing class on a lot of prog kills this last tier for sure

carmine portal
#

I disagree, Pally defo

keen dome
#

Yeah, I think Ret is probably the highest

#

Just on sheer volume of players

vagrant fulcrum
#

like 500 gally kills no rogue, next highest is around 80

valid yoke
keen dome
fleet wharf
#

why ranged weapon when we already have guns

carmine portal
steel zinc
#

Believe it or not rogue is the hardest melee spec. Assa is very easier and that's why u also don't see many rogue players.

#

Any warrior, fury, udk, ret is braindead easy

#

Good thing is if you play all 3 rogue specs well any other melee is faceroll imo

carmine portal
#

Feral has entered the chat

fleet wharf
steel zinc
#

It's literally assa rogue

#

Just easier

warm marlin
#

every feral player I’ve talked to says it’s omega overstated difficulty

leaden prairie
carmine portal
#

aintnoway

lilac stag
#

just confirm it with Koffing

vagrant fulcrum
leaden prairie
#

I would argue assa is better this season still tho, or just the same

steel zinc
placid elk
#

feral ppl are delusional

lilac stag
#

Enhance is way more button bloat and a lot less survivability.

placid elk
#

imagine playing with 5 combo points only

leaden prairie
#

Like it wasn't meta

lilac stag
#

arguably more difficult as melee

leaden prairie
#

But it was meta

fleet wharf
#

wasn't assa kind of meta tho

leaden prairie
#

If I can have an outlaw as meta as this every season I'm so happy lol

vagrant fulcrum
#

assa was like next alternative to fdk

north schooner
vagrant fulcrum
#

in s1 meta comp

leaden prairie
#

Ye

#

Well no

fleet wharf
vagrant fulcrum
#

well it was one of the options

leaden prairie
#

It was like Boomie Aug + enhance

#

And then you played fdk or assa

vagrant fulcrum
#

ye

leaden prairie
#

If you replaced Boomie

fleet wharf
#

There were teams running assa instead of boomie early on though

steel zinc
#

Like the balance was so good imo that for sin and outlaw the first page of that spec raider io everyone has title. That's a lot

leaden prairie
#

Ye

warm marlin
#

Assa was also specifically good in some dungeons right

vagrant fulcrum
#

ye it was good in gb

warm marlin
#

casuals group was like r1 tgp in db

vagrant fulcrum
#

tons of prio mobs in the packs

fleet wharf
#

that, and with a lot of tank busters, iron wire had higher value, no?

steel zinc
vagrant fulcrum
#

my one wish is that they bake in iron wire and add a defensive node for sin

lilac stag
#

cause assa needs more in its toolkit

lapis hatch
#

Assa season 1 problem was low ST and aug made it more apparent

steel zinc
#

I haven't seen a pack where you need at the start instant silence and not just kick manually

vagrant fulcrum
#

the spec is noticably squishier than sub and ol

fleet wharf
keen dome
#

iron wire is a cool node, baking it in would be neat

steel zinc
keen dome
#

Just a solid QoL utility thing

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

assa still way more tanky thank most others

vagrant fulcrum
keen dome
fleet wharf
#

that's kind of the joke lmao, it's a monkey's paw not a nice genie

keen dome
#

Smoke bomb in the class tree would own, though

steel zinc
vagrant fulcrum
#

fr

lapis hatch
#

Assa tanky, but hitting feint on cd in pure ST feels bad for already starving spec

alpine wraith
#

yea rogue is weird in that you can sometimes go from low M to CE guilds because there are so few

vagrant fulcrum
#

with amz coming back we could justify smoke bomb

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

but finding guild at high ranks is so hard no one wants more than 1 or they just game it with 0

fleet wharf
#

but yea, I think iron wire baseline would be a good "M+" utility for rogues

keen dome
#

I'd love to see be a choice node. One version is a darkness-esque DR zone. The other drops the DR and swaps it for a LoS variant.

alpine wraith
#

tbh smoke was kinda buggy as f

you will see in pandaria classic if they keep the bosses mechanics

be real with me guys am i sub or sin next tier

west tide
#

be HONEST

vagrant fulcrum
#

I might know one that wants a rogue

lapis hatch
#

Deathstalker evasion and cloak DR’s are garbage

alpine wraith
#

yea for the last week

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

yea ik well maybe it is like last time and they just have week 1 or 2 crashouts

#

i still need to do guides etc

#

anyway

steel zinc
#

Last boss dunno but looks like sub or ds assa

vagrant fulcrum
alpine wraith
#

i wonder if cosmic hunter is a bit better than antenna

lilac stag
#

rogue just doing ethical boss dmg just like old times.

alpine wraith
#

even if sims a lil worse

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

just because it has kinda execute

#

and cleave

#

the fabled lucky coing at 20 secs

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

what i find funny is they destroyed eye HoC and pacemaker

warm marlin
#

it reads as a st proc

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

second part

warm marlin
#

Ah yes

alpine wraith
#

tbh last phases on bosses can go hard

#

getting 160% inc dmg on a 20% boss

lilac stag
#

I think that’s going to be a sleeper where it doesn’t sim well

keen dome
#

Same

#

I think it's going to be a very good trinket

steel zinc
#

Delves or?

alpine wraith
#

it is from a boss

steel zinc
#

Which one?

alpine wraith
#

let me check which

#

adarus darkblaze

keen dome
#

MY NEMESIS

warm marlin
#

depends a bit on how much the damage amp matters for killing dimensius probably

keen dome
#

the """optional""" DH boss

stoic reef
#

The fake dh spec

alpine wraith
#

yea we will do that boss anyway for bootsies

steel zinc
#

Kekw

lilac stag
keen dome
#

it's so stupid they called it optional

alpine wraith
#

yea it is silly

keen dome
#

you need it for HoF. It drops tier, it drops trinkets, it drops the boots.

warm marlin
#

truly the most optional boss of all time

tough mist
#

everything is optional is wow kekdog

keen dome
#

pet battles aren't

#

integral content

tough mist
#

& mog, you right

keen dome
#

hell yeah

#

fashion and friends

tough mist
#

housing will be too

stoic reef
#

Fashion and friends are optional

alpine wraith
#

everyone knows you will need 10000 tmog score to enter raids in midnight

tough mist
stoic reef
#

Work tho, its mandatory

alpine wraith
#

there will be a npc on the gate

#

that will rate your mog

keen dome
#

Finally, my time to shine

tough mist
stoic reef
#

Do you HAVE to be in HoF

tough mist
tough mist

Tbf tho, if id show anything it would be the elite set from s2

#

Pretty darn cool

tough mist
#

still locked to mop cm set

stoic reef
#

The og mental

tough mist
#

with an addon who spam /roar when you interrupt something then theres flames on spaulder

#

it's 100% meta

stoic reef
#

Dayum that must feel exactly the same as playing ww monk with the jojo WA

#

Bis

hollow spear
#

Like I'd swap to sin this raid omegalul

#

Sin kinda cooking in m+ though

stoic reef
#

Would u have fun tho

#
  • i feel like sub is cooking on m+ too
tough mist
steel zinc
#

Sin is really really good

#

Like it's 10% St and more in aoe

tough mist
#

Logs from today in PTR (M+) theres not a huge diff, same for yesterday

hollow spear
#

Ain't playing that shit in raid

nova cairn
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
steel zinc
stoic reef
#

Dunno, the specs seem pretty much the same dmg wise

#

Just go have fun broski

steel zinc
#

Also plays way better. Did some 15 with it nothing super high

stoic reef
#

The only con of sub in my opinion is damage profile

hollow spear
#

Wdym that's a con

stoic reef
#

Damage profile of sub is a real stinker

#

But I enjoy it

hollow spear
#

Damage profile is the cope we have for s3 raiding

haughty mural
hollow spear
#

Why would it be a con

stoic reef
#

I mean for m+

#

I dont raid

nova cairn
tough mist
#

Think, if you doesn't pretend to be a top player, it's about playing the specialization you're most confident with. Fk the meta

stoic reef
#

^

hollow spear
#

I'm playing mostly weekly keys, I don't care

#

You can do weeklies with anything that can press W

tough mist
#

exactly

alpine wraith
#

like moving dances around

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

or now with new prism we can even move dmg between phases

hollow spear
#

Let's see how sins burst looks when the dust settles

alpine wraith
#

seems like fatebound one is quite high but also only st

stoic reef
#

Btw I heard there is a really good delve trinket for us

#

What is it

hollow spear
#

Our burst is kinda hard to beat, especially outside of lust

alpine wraith
#

yea for m+ even after the nerf it is good

#

the void trink

steel zinc
#

Void touched Fragment

stoic reef
#

Sadge

stoic reef
#

Whats the combo for m+ now

steel zinc
#

U can play w/e until like +20

#

Just game

tough mist
#

^

stoic reef
#

I mean the trinkets

alpine wraith
#

for m+ we will likely use prism and the touched frag

#

or cosmic hunter

steel zinc
#

Oh you play prism

alpine wraith
#

antenna is also good but

#

it can go rng

#

i mean you can play forge and prism but there is no real reason to

steel zinc
#

Prism and x passive. The crystal from dawnbreaker Sims highest now

alpine wraith
#

yea the one from dawnbreaker is nice

#

a bit rng

stoic reef
#

Hmm thats cool

alpine wraith
#

but we only kinda not like haste anyway

stoic reef
#

Where does prism come from

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

a boss in the raid

#

fractillius

stoic reef
#

Is it early or late

steel zinc
steel zinc
stoic reef
#

Holy shit am cooked

alpine wraith
steel zinc
#

You can most likely pug it

alpine wraith
#

also makes pot better

stoic reef
#

Despairge

steel zinc
#

Fractilus is carried by Weak aura and nerfed hard by gear

stoic reef
#

Does prism make a big difference?

steel zinc
#

Yes

alpine wraith
#

you can also use the pvp trink for a while

#

or forge but that one is unlikely to go to us

steel zinc
#

It's vs old hoc 1% ahead after nerfs to hoc 1.8%

#

That's both at 684

#

Sub comes online with prism

stoic reef
#

Thats so bad for me

steel zinc
#

Why?

#

You can pug hc

stoic reef
#

It will take eons to kill

steel zinc
#

Why?

nova cairn
#

PMA buddy

steel zinc

Pma?

nova cairn
#

Positive mental attitude suskaygeagreegebusiness

lilac stag
stoic reef
#

Copium for short

lilac stag
#

Like it was fate

alpine wraith
#

yea just rng some coins

#

it is the anti sub spec because if you change specs CB breaks

#

truly fated

lilac stag
#

if I’m top boss dmg, it was a good day

#

old school rogue menty

alpine wraith
#

just gotta DDoS the fdk

#

or warlock

stoic reef
#

Guess am going pvp trinket bois

alpine wraith
#

or hunter

#

i mean pvp trink is very strong because you can get it week 1

#

well when the season begins i mean

#

with only conquest

keen dome
#

Yeah, can get it extremely quickly

alpine wraith
#

then farm m+ to get cheap upgrades

lilac stag
#

Unironically double on use with pvp trinket maybe good if that’s still a 1 minute.

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

yea it is still a 1 min

lilac stag
#

Use that until 3 min boom

alpine wraith
#

wonder what affixes we will have in s3

alpine wraith
#

double on use will always sim kinda bad

keen dome
steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

it is just how you use them or if you need them at a precise time

#

it can be fine in m+ more than raid tbh

#

use pvp trink on pull 1:30 then prism at 3

lilac stag
#

Basically PvP eliminates the timing issue, but if it’s relatively shit unless you have an amp it’s not worth.

alpine wraith
#

call the last one the HAYMAKER

#

well in m+ things can be a bit diff

lilac stag
#

can get a 330 use of pvp

#

Then back to your 5 min

alpine wraith
#

damn didnt realize

#

yea if you use it at 3:30 it is back for 4:30

#

and same as 5 min to 6 min

#

quite interesting

lilac stag
#

timeline wise it has a ton more flex than forge

steel zinc
#

For Heroic you will play eye even after nerfs

#

King will be +8 min in hc early on

alpine wraith
#

yea eye is kinda good

steel zinc
#

Like also eye and prism

alpine wraith
#

also once again week 1 crafting pvp wrists and maybe ring

lilac stag
#

Depends where you toss embellishments.

steel zinc
#

You can add emelishment to it right?

alpine wraith
#

i mean week 1 it is crafting dagger

steel zinc
#

It's more then 681?

#

Yeah

alpine wraith
#

pvp gear is like i dont remember the ilvl but like entry m+

#

so you will change it but first week you will need to do m+ anyway

lilac stag
#

I need to buy Jastors still

steel zinc
#

I'll probably do pvp week 1 too just to get cq cap and buy the versa neck and rings

steel zinc
stoic reef
#

That does sound like a plan

steel zinc
#

All the pvp gear has bis sub stats. I remember using s2 pvp neck until mugzee prog

#

So like a month or so

#

Tbf we had shit necks in m+

alpine wraith
#

this time we have floodgate or priory one

#

but also we likely craft neck second craft

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

Neck

steel zinc
#

With hc crest

lilac stag
#

Wrists are nothing burger

steel zinc
#

I mean can buy wrist with pvp gear and socket them

lilac stag
#

which sounds like another reason for neck cooking

slate marlin
#

btw are bp rules bound to change in cds now?

steel zinc
slate marlin
#

even after the nf buff? damn

steel zinc
#

If you play rotten u can force fw with your 2nd builder in dance

slate marlin
#

ye i always do that

hollow spear
#

Does the robot even use the pvp trinket + prism combination the way we think it should be used?

alpine wraith
#

we would need to tweak it

void ocean
#

Prism is this trink that stacks 3 mins, right?

fleet wharf
alpine wraith
#

it is a bit diff crafting that the items you buy from conquest

#

the pvp items you craft are low ilvl but decent

fleet wharf
#

so farm up enough honor to buy the PVP crafting recipe?

hazy breach
#

Just play more keys instead Surebud

alpine wraith
#

they use the purple things you can get from arena or doing some bgs

#

but yea like eleem said m+ gear is better

fleet wharf
alpine wraith
#

m+ gear is better

slate marlin
hazy breach
#

Probably

#

But im not at home so cant check

slate marlin
#

ok ty!dracthyr_love

steel zinc
#

Rn kus and shindig and streaming double rogue m+

slate marlin
#

ye pretty fun to watch

steel zinc
#

thats insane content ngl

#

pretty much should link that for people who want to know assa or sub

slate marlin
#

pretty close in overall too

gloomy barn
#

Yesterday i found a link to the 3 specs simmed on a sheet, which i cant find today… Anyone know where that was?

native zodiac
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
gloomy barn
#

Aaaa banger cheers!

alpine wraith
#

i was updating the sheet too and with not many changes i guess just need to update videos thingies

#

big changes

vestal escarp
#

10m overall is good but nothing crazy

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

yea fuu needs to rerun some things

#

but likely will get updated in the weekend

gloomy barn
#

Aight Aight

steel zinc
#

you can do some math like sin fatebound + ~12% in st and sub +5%

slate marlin
#

but take it with a grain of salt tho, sims are not the same as actual raid dmg

slate marlin
#

Most fights arent like that tho

#

but yeah lmfao

steel zinc
#

yeah but we didnt have in ages a pure st fight

#

you have near 100% uptime even in mythic

slate marlin
#

sikran from nerubar was pure st with 100% uptime

steel zinc
#

you had to run out for the lines

slate marlin
#

oh u got the arrows

#

ye

#

just rng those

steel zinc
#

if that was in the opener your screwed

slate marlin
#

forgetable boss ngl

#

i didnt even remember the main mechanic

placid crown
#

Question: in M+, as subrogue, when you face a big pack, what builder do you use after a sectec ? shuriken storm will obviously deal more damages than a strike, but if you do 2 strikes, you gain 2 stacks to prepare a coup de grace with nimble furry

#

and if you do suriken storms, you dont build a coup de grace

#

what's best ?

#

ignore coup de grace and just spam storms, or build coup de grace with strikes ?

alpine wraith
#

you always strike unless you have coup up

#

with blads

#

then you storm in between

#

in big pulls you can track FW and bp if coup is not up but storms mostly come from outside dance

#

or from the in between coups so FW might not be up always

placid crown
#

thank you

errant ferry

wicked joltBOT
tribal blade
#

i have never seen this much emphasis on raid buffs in keys before

#

to the point where he's putting specs that don't have them a full tier lower

hard inlet
tribal blade
#

so that's why specs bringing a raid buff are a tier higher even if they're equal in power

wary plover
#

Which bosses have Dmg Amp next tier?

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

i mean it is what it is

tribal blade
#

just a shitty situation

hard inlet
#

its a tierlist

tribal blade
#

it's not the tierlist

#

it's the fact that stacking raid buffs have become the meta in M+

#

so if you don't ahve one, you get WAY less invites

#

speaking from experience this season

hard inlet
#

know the feeling

steel zinc
hard inlet
#

went uh dk in the end

tribal blade
#

yeah grip is arguably the biggest buff in keys tbh

#

it's such insanely good utility

hard inlet
#

yeah, and was so easy to get groups

tribal blade
#

i beat an udk in overall in a key recently

#

which was a good feeling

hard inlet
#

as sub?

tribal blade
#

nah as sin

#

no shot as sub

hard inlet
#

xD

#

im i the only one or does it feel like shroud sucks ass in keys?

tribal blade
#

the issue is they put truesight mobs everywhere to make shroud less required for groups

slate marlin
#

so instead you take mind soothe or meld skips

hard inlet
#

priests can do it better

#

yeah like wtf

alpine wraith
#

speedshroud can be quite good for timer

#

in some indoor dungeons

#

but not strong enough

#

like it was good in ToP

hard inlet
#

thats true

tribal blade
#

yeah blizz does that a lot with rogue

slate marlin
#

ye but shroud would have been quite useful in cinderbrew skips

tribal blade
#

things are "too strong" on rogue

slate marlin
#

but u cant shroud them

#

so u meld xdd

tribal blade
#

and then other classes end up getting the same thing but better

hard inlet
#

delete mind soothe plz

slate marlin
#

where would have shroud be too op this season instead of ms/meld?

alpine wraith
#

it was good to do workshop parts fast too but idk

#

it can be good in taza vesh

#

to just zoom through some places

tribal blade
#

yeah actually streets has a lot of good shroud spots

#

because the pathing in that place isn't linear

#

so you can bounce around places

#

but if you don't have shroud/soothe you can't do it as much

alpine wraith
#

you also can do that rogue alone part

tribal blade
#

lol yeah there's a lot of rogue tech in that dungeon

alpine wraith
#

but was annoying to do

tribal blade
#

i also remember there's the spot to start the RP to one of those bosses
