so when most progress

lilac stag
#

Sub was hot shit out of the gate because you had bis trinket from s1, crafted a dagger and got tier. Congrats all your major dps have been gotten.

#

the the ilvl drop off happened and everything else got buffed weeeeee

vale pine
#

assassiantion also got buffed

#

besides performing exactly the same statistically

#

i am not saying thats good/bad but it def. contributed in shifting balance

lilac stag
#

Assa was the better spec for the actual end boss, but rwf didn’t realize it

vale pine
#

idk

vale pine
#

i would word it diffrently

#

the last boss was actually mugzee

#

so the spec which was best there was the best

lilac stag
#

Mugz cleave and double execute and I swore they were in jails and or doing sub things

plush roost
#

He played assa on mugzee

vale pine
#

and zee was a assassiantion fight

plush roost
#

And stayed outside

vale pine
#

sub was better on gally

#

because it did more during the first phase

lilac stag
#

Cool. Maybe misremembering.

topaz egret
#

hard to quantify sub v assa on mug because the loss of parry immunity on that boss is quite significant with a bunch of dhs/warriors/windwalkers

lilac stag
#

I swore one of them was sub

plush roost
#

I remember cause he did a big shoutout to whispyr at the end of the tier to minmax ruptures on the shield bots

topaz egret
#

i personally think sub was better if you were playign 1 rogue.

vale pine
#

well the parry is now fixed ^^

vale pine
#

sadly

#

but probably true

#

sub raid buff

keen dome
lilac stag
#

sub is still ridiculous with its survivability

vale pine
#

true

#

was survival a problem to solve?

plush roost
keen dome
#

ANY day

lilac stag
#

if you trying to drop healers I’d imagine it can be part of the discussion.

keen dome
#

You can't be wrong if you predict any day.

#

kush gonna get KB assa nerfed so sub dominates. Trashpandascheme

#

until blizzard buffs everything else again

tribal blade
violet palm
#

No parry raid buff thematically good for rogues feels like. Call it exposing strikes or something and make it passive like monks have

topaz egret
#

fatebound actually feels better to play than deathstalker tbh

#

in ST that is

#

but thats not because fatebound is good, deathstalker is just ass

nova cairn
#

Yeah…

vestal escarp
#

what makes you say so

clever delta
#

There is not many st bosses thankfully

topaz egret
#

the mark mechanic is just a curse for target swapping

vestal escarp
#

but you said in St

nova cairn
#

You accidentally mark a totem

tribal blade
#

DS making you the hardest spec to swap targets is ultimate blizz bs

nova cairn
topaz egret
#

ah lets apply rupture, mutilate for spatter and make sure to have DN ready if i wanna target swap

#

xdd

topaz egret
#

well yeah for ST fatebound combo point gen is just nicer to play with over the mark minigame

tribal blade
#

oh no i didn't prep DN properly before needing to swap to the add on 2nd boss of ML

vestal escarp
#

i think the dealbreaker is not having to reach to 7 every 3 finishers

tribal blade
#

now i have to farm marks on the boss to get it so i can swap

#

oh no the add is still alive

#

and we all die

#

gg

lilac stag
#

You could have played sub pepe_chad

tribal blade
#

haha true

lilac stag
#

and never got an invite

#

way less pain

keen dome
#

Never have to suffer the problems

#

It's just smart

lilac stag
#

the world would be a better place if I could avoid m+ entirely.

void ocean
#

omg guys, why no heads up that we r visited by a Royalty

vale pine
#

get invites 100% of the time wit this trick:
||Sign up for +3 keys||

keen dome
nova cairn
#

Sign up as Assa spec swap to outlaw ReallyMad

clever delta
#

I did it once and got kicked

chrome palm
#

The assa roofie is a classic

nova cairn
#

It’s character building

tribal blade
#

i remember queueing to keys during S3 of DF

#

"wait you're sub???"

#

insta kick

clever delta
#

How dare you play pvp spec in m+

keen dome
#

I did a few keys on my Prot Pal the other day and I made sure to invite a Rogue to every key I did.

#

I'm not inviting rogues to my keys anymore

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

sub was so unplayed that season to outlaw that i got rank 5 world sub

void ocean
tribal blade
tribal blade
nova cairn
#

I tried to do a triple rogue key with @topaz egret but he thought I was sub and he didn’t want to play triple sub ReallyMad

tribal blade
#

you at least know you have a higher chance to get into groups with brews/bears/havoc/arms/rshams

lilac stag
#

I still angry for you.

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Need to try an all sub raid this season.

#

With all those amps, it could be very funny

void ocean
#

bruh i dont think u can find enough sub rogues even if u invited this entire channel

keen dome
#

Yeah...

tribal blade
#

i don't hold grudges that much

#

and i get the mentality, literally every high key runner has been guilty of it

#

still was a big feelsbad at the time, but just moved on

#

i am gonna hold a grudge against this disc friend of mine who got ultra boosted up to title

#

looks like he finished it off with a 19 priory from 4k players

#

literally only 1 key timed of every 19/20 and only done with 4k players

violet palm
#

Resil is crazy. Needs an iteration or complete removal imo

tribal blade
#

yeah i've never seen this level of boosting ever

#

it's insane

#

i was talking to another disc friend of mine, and she was saying her friends boosted 2 disc priests to title this week

lilac stag
#

it could be you if you played a more useful class

tribal blade
#

nah fuck that, rogue forever

lilac stag
#

prophet(tank) when kekdog

tribal blade
#

it would take them dropping a nuclear bomb on rogue for me to swap off it

keen dome
tribal blade
#

honestly it was kinda fun

#

doing the gathering and stuff

keen dome
#

Just add a tank spec to rogue, imo. Problem solved

lilac stag
#

The true rogue m+ arc. Eventually give up and make tank content.

tribal blade
#

i wouldn't want to tank though, you realize how much of the key is in your hands when you tank

void ocean
tribal blade
#

every little micro decision you make affects the whole thing in a big way

keen dome
#

Yeah, it's great

#

We're all in this bus but I'm driving and I can't drive. We're also fyling off a cliff as I pull yet another entire room of trash

void ocean
#

it would be nice to have a Shadow that actually plays rogue, besides Whispyr 😄

tribal blade
#

so the alts i've played the most are enhance/havoc/arms

#

had to stop playing dh because using felrush with 200 ms is illegal

#

killed myself so many times on jailer with it

vale pine
#

@lilac stag okay, thats the new best setup so far, i am curios if it changes again with apl updates

Assa fatebound sims are up garf_sit

and i did so many

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

man i remember so long to do this one

#

then no one cared

#

but tbh there are like 2 WAs that do the same and you dont need to know the spells now

fallow nimbus
#

Feint should just be all dmg so we don't have to think about it

keen dome
#

Feint is a spin around, right.

#

You should have a QtE option to spin by using it at the perfect time to catch the damage and spin it onto another player

#

Let me perfect feint damage onto someone I don't like

fallow nimbus
#

First sec of feint redirects it to the tank

Oh shit, outlaw meta

hollow spear
#

What does your sim include, fuu?

#

I mean, which prepull shenanigans?

clever delta
#

Hopefully non

#

But if you prestack sectech you out simm warlocks

nova cairn
#

Wdym prestack sectech

#

As in supercharge

sand flax
swift tinsel
#

pre-disorienting strikes

sand flax
#

Yeah same as outlaw

clever delta
#

Yes

sand flax
#

Wish we could use a dummy toy inside raid

hazy breach
#

In the past hes used it for assa too, which is more sus

hollow spear
#

Not too bad, so there's another like 2.5% that could be gained by predisorienting and changing the opener

hazy breach
#

Yep but if you wipe instantly its not feasible to get

#

So it kinda sucks to be forced to use sectech before you wipe

hollow spear
#

I mean, there's counter play. Just don't wipe garf

#

I'll let my raid leader know

hazy breach
#

Why dont liquid and echo consider that huhy

#

Great strat

hollow spear

I need a 30 second pre wipe timer

Its the ER bug on outlaw back in the day

valid yoke
#

Do we have a prelim bis list for next tier?

#

Kinda gutted I aint got a HoC people keep telling me its gonna be bis for a while into next tier

swift tinsel
#

its not that good

steel zinc
#

Get pvp trinket early on

swift tinsel
#

^

steel zinc
#

It's the best on use we have until prism or forge

keen dome
#

Superduper easy to grind out, too. Fully deterministic

valid yoke
#

oh fairs, thats a relief

#

cos people were telling me that hoc was gonna be bis until like, mythic lol

swift tinsel

lmao

#

they're trolling you

valid yoke

so I was shitting myself

#

well thanks for the relief lol

vale pine
wicked joltBOT
valid yoke
steel zinc
#

I should find the sim where I got all trinkets that you get up until hc level

valid yoke
#

maybe I shouldn't be, im not a theorycrafter lol

vale pine
#

forge is good

#

but its not guaranteed bis

valid yoke
#

Ah gotcha

vale pine
#

especially with a spec like subtlety

valid yoke
#

40k prim stat just seems insane

#

yea thats fair

vale pine
#

subtlety has a lot of "power" during 90 sec cooldowns

hazy breach
#

Well prism gives more

vale pine
#

^

valid yoke
#

wait does it?!

hazy breach
#

People see 40k and disregard the bit where it decays a lot

valid yoke
#

dayum

valid yoke
#

oh wait im being blind the tooltip on the sim shows at 662 ilvl

swift tinsel
#

isn't prism ~70k with 18 stacks now

valid yoke
#

not 723 lol

vale pine
#

tooltips are a bit finicky, all gear is on max upgrade

#

you can see it in the report of the sim

hollow spear
#

500 ilvl items? Surely we'll do 6 mio+ then!

valid yoke
#

🤣

#

also had no idea that coup would be doing most damage

#

i guess our 4 set is fuckin mental then lol

vale pine
#

as mentioend, gear is on highest upgrade levels

#

you see it in the report

tepid trellis
#

more than twice the amount of casts we have of it now

#

= quite alot of dam

valid yoke
#

I do appreciate the clarity btw im prob asking the noobiest shit lol

hollow spear
#

And sectec does comparably less because of the "loss" of s2 tier set (rip bozo)

valid yoke
#

true

vale pine
#

we want flawless form stacks

#

and cdr on secret

#

so secret first is always best

#

(during dance)

grave shore
#

@vale pine brotha , why in ur APL used sec tech before sd? It should be after or I’m wrong?

hazy breach
#

Its using sectech in dance

#

Just the previous one

vale pine
#

^ its 2x dance back to back

grave shore
#

Ah

vale pine
#

its hard to see on the timeline

grave shore

Double coupe allows do it

Can be done this tier too

steel zinc
fleet wharf
#

Can we farm the pvp trinket next week or is in in 2 weeks?

keen dome
#

I'm not 100% sure since you need conquest. I think you can get it this coming reset?

steel zinc
#

PvP starts with mythic raiding

#

you just do daily bg stuff and then you have enough cq

keen dome
steel zinc
#

I am gonna sim it now but that pvp trinket should be also very good for fatebound assa

fleet wharf
#

I heard warmode crate farming is the easiest way to acquire honor

carmine portal
#

yeah but isn't WM crate farming only possible for alliance?

steel zinc
#

or like me I am lazy I just ask a friend that pvps to boost me to cq cap in lke 2 hours or so 😄

carmine portal
#

psure every time I've done WPVP it's covered in 10000000 alliance on my realm

keen dome
#

Join a group and it's doable for either faciton 'cos of sharding.

#

Crates are the best passive non-pvp way 'cos you jus tfly about doing it. But actually doing pvp is the quickest

steel zinc
#

the sims are 704 itemlevel since everyone can get that (champion max track)

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
bold gate
steel zinc
#

I think the PvP trinket got 2ndary buff by the nerfs from S2 trinkets

dry plank
#

PvP badge used as if it is 1.5 min cd?

steel zinc
#

pretty straight forward

#

you play it like house of cards

#

and its bis for assa early on too

keen dome
#

Can just macro it to Blades iirc

steel zinc
vale pine
#

yep

#

can pmuch macro most of our on use to blades

keen dome
#

maximum comfy

steel zinc
#

Might be worth even adding this to some future guides. Most see BiS list but you wont have that the first weeks. (We didnt have a Dagger drop 5 Weeks into Prog)

valid yoke
#

what even is best way to grind for that trinket?

#

just bg's?

steel zinc
#

yeah and wm for chests

#

or just do arena

valid yoke
#

cos i guess it dont matter too much if you win or lose lol

#

im shit at pvp

steel zinc
#

for daily bg win it matters yes

#

but bg is easy

keen dome
#

You don't even need to do pvp. In warmode there are crates that drop in each zone every 30 - 45 minutes. You go to them, grab 'em, get 60 conq or w/e it is.

valid yoke
#

fairs

keen dome
#

There'll be groups up for them so you can just brain off podcast farm 'em. The trinket is 700 conquest.

steel zinc
#

Fastest way is to get boosted to cq cap or know any decent pvp player

keen dome
#

But actually doing pvp like Mapko says is 100% faster.

keen dome
mighty citrus
#

oh jesus thanks

steel zinc
#

just warmode on

keen dome
#

Conquest has a weekly cap, so you can only earn X amount per week, but it starts above 700 so you can grind the trinket out day 1 asap if you want, it's super chill

tepid trellis
#

im getting prism from hc week 1

keen dome
#

The other way is what Mapko said, just getting weekly pvp quests and doing them. Super easy too.

keen dome
steel zinc
#

It has to drop u know

keen dome
#

I'm getting boots on my first DH kill on heroic

tepid trellis
#

he wont get it before me

steel zinc
#

people always assume it dropps

tepid trellis
#

it will drop

steel zinc
#

yeah ok

#

but if it doesnt?

tepid trellis
#

it does

#

so no point in what ifs

keen dome
#

Hell yeah

steel zinc
#

ok makes sense totally pepe_cross

tepid trellis
#

never have a trinket i needed from raid not dropped week 1

steel zinc

can you tell me how to get more luck?

Looting vaults is more German style

clever delta

i did not loot shit from raid

steel zinc
#

I get tier from raid rest vault and crafts

clever delta
#

we had no dagger drop for like 2months

#

and no HC hoc

steel zinc
#

even dagger because they dont drop

#

holy 2 months

#

we had 5 weeks

#

And I got it and other Rogue didnt see it until farm

clever delta
#

all i looted during progg was some wrists

#

so i think im getting everything now .D

steel zinc
#

I got my Heroic House of Cards in like week 6

#

right before the end of prog

#

I played freaking lockenstock with transmitter

clever delta
#

we gave it to dev

#

who we kicked 2 weeks after

valid yoke
#

I mean

#

I have geargrinder keys atm lol

steel zinc
#

yeah its because tbf as sub you didnt need hoc

tepid trellis
#

think we had 6 hoc drops by week 3

clever delta
#

what a gigachad guild

steel zinc
#

sub you didnt need hoc during prog

#

like some had 100k upgrade and sub like 15k from mythic transmitter to hoc transmitter

#

But the PvP trinket will be worse if they actually fix the lilly trinket from eco dome and its not utter dogshit

tepid trellis
#

just give them a sim where transmitter isnt done perfectly Cheesin

solemn creek
#

Didnt get hoc till mythic dinar

steel zinc
#

Like I showed them a clip of the transmitter orb flying off lockenstock plattform

When I died I said gotta get my dmg buff

#

@steel zinc I am still trying to figure out the best way to know when hold unseen blade proc

hazy breach
#

Wdym

steel zinc
#

You mean holding coup?

sand flax
swift tinsel
#

that's next season

hazy breach
#

Generally youd hold onto coup if your Flagellation has 15-20s or less left

steel zinc
#

This you do now and next tier. And Storming after coup you do, when blades it active, since then you proc the 4p of S3

sand flax
#

I guess that double coup de grace apply twice the 5 stacks of flawless form, right ?

hazy breach
#

Yes, 5 per

sand flax
#

Then, our sectech cold blood should follow, because of the big amount of stacks + flag + dance macabre

hollow spear
#

Does fdk really gain more from prism than us compared to the next best trinket option?

#

Thought we had more of our budget in the 90s window

swift tinsel
#

looking to see if they have sim profile to look into

sand flax
tepid trellis
#

same rules for sectech as now

swift tinsel
tepid trellis
#

to not waste unseen blade procs

#

thats why you storm between them

sand flax
#

Ok I get it finally, because we can’t build another coup de grace between both coup de grâce

swift tinsel
#

yep, those stacks get wasted so we try to avoid proccing them between

#

would have been nice if they implemented the 4pc a bit differently but peeposhrug

lilac stag
#

I think at this point it just being implemented is a win. fuck the bar is so low.

swift tinsel
#

even then it still doesn't work with shadowed finishers so not quite there yet lol

lilac stag
#

Right after havoc changes are done.

swift tinsel
#

that or they're still hard at work finishing our s2 set

those pesky shadow clones

LF a WA for shadow tec, I think it was just a number and when refund happens chomp sound plays.

It’s actually amusing looking at all of the rogue and havoc changes which seemingly have the same “team” working on them. Then you look at everyone else. Did our team go out to get milk and just say nah fam, I can’t? garf_sit

house of cards or jastor?

idk, but maybe jastor i think

placid elk

guess i'll farm for both, maybe HOC will carry for a while

lilac stag

It won’t

#

You’ll replace it with PVP trinket next week

placid elk
lilac stag
#

we had really bad trinkets this tier. It’s just the least bad for sub

Jastors maybe has a little more longevity

#

at least the badge tinket is easy to farm

placid elk

i'll farm some lfr and get both just in case

clever delta

jastor isnt that big for sub

isnt it barely better than some good stats ring?

it will have more value for assa, but at this point what else are you spending on?

probably better in dungeons you have a lot of pure st

nimble is worse than assassiantions equivalent

and we don't have tick/rot damage

it is a bit of a balancing nightmare for blizz

and them completely ignoring m+ for tuning does not help

i kind of understand it

because every spec in the game can do a 10

it feels weird that all rogue specs are flawed in some way

they don't wanna buff it to not improve raid

Assa looks like the opposite

#

and Outlaw has his own problems

vale pine
#

what makes you think assassiantion is bad in raiding

simple dragon
#

flatline dmg profile plus must always be doing dmg or it sucks

vale pine
#

it was the most played for 2 seasons now

#

in raid and m+

simple dragon
#

ST looked bad for now

clever delta
#

sub doing more than fine in m+ on S3

simple dragon
#

maybe with the buffs it got better

vale pine
#

single target in dungeons?

#

assassiantion has s tier funnel

simple dragon
#

pure ST? yes

vale pine
#

if you add more targets

#

which i would argue

#

you can most of the time

#

its not bad

#

the weakness vanishes suddenly

simple dragon
#

i haven't seen which Mythic rotation we have in S3

#

but you can't always funnel in bosses

vale pine
#

like

#

we saw assassiantion palyed in the great push

#

so i don't think the lack of st did mattter much

#

season 3 you basically suffer from fatebound being the stronger hero talent

#

so you can't ignore it anymore

#

it did sim already higher before but even then it was ignored

#

the main reason is the bad target scaling for the hero talent

#

so you can't bring the single target power to dungeons

simple dragon
#

they are saying Fatebound is a no go if multi target is involved

vale pine
#

yep

#

because of the inverse target scaling

#

kinda

#

but this is essentially the question

#

does funnel still keep up

#

to correct the diffrence between to other specs/classes

#

i can't say

odd knoll
#

/wa

wary plover
#

is Lily trinket from Ecodome bad?

vale pine
#

its good

#

think of it like this

#

you want one active trinket to make your big cooldowns do more damage

#

and there are only 3 or 4 options for that

#

2 are from raid, so in limited supply

#

and then there is one from m+

#

lilly

#

and potentially the pvp trinket/hoc if you got a mythic one (even tho these are not great long)

#

the 2nd trinket slot is usually a passive trinket option

#

there is similar a certain amount of choice, but there are more good m+ options

wary plover
#

taking prism and Lily as same ILevel, how much difference there is? 0.x?

steel zinc
wary plover
#

oh

steel zinc
#

Max lily 723 was prenerf only 2% better then 684 hoc

#

Lilly is dog

vale pine
#

think it was less than that

#

but its basically the diffrence between lilly and the next best option

#

is still big

#

so its a good starting point

#

2% diffrence

#

between bis and lilly

lilac stag

#

there will be some more tunnings

including items

but i found funnny, that hoc wasnt that much better than transmitter, and the new trinket (lily) isnt much better than hoc

#

heh

lilac stag
#

as dumb as transmitter was to play, at least it was strong

limber dirge

does shuriken storm still consume both stacks of the rotten or has that been fixed?

#

does anybody know if physical trinkets interrect with monk buff or na ?

hollow spear
#

just want to make sure that the 2.3% are the actual difference or if something is krangled

lilac stag
#

Missing a buff?

hollow spear
#

PI? 😮

vale pine
#

sims on the sheet use both pre pull cheeses

hollow spear
#

oh, I didn't see the disorienting

warm marlin
#

predisorient in the official sim has got to be reverse sandbag

#

that's brazy

steel zinc
#

prepull cheese is insane

lilac stag
#

yeah I don’t think we should be simming disorienting

steel zinc
#

its like 200k or what

hollow spear
#

it doesn't use the changed opener tho 😛

steel zinc
lilac stag
#

Charge opener is fine. That’s easy enough to always have

#

Disorienting peepono

warm marlin
#

writing changed opener in is a bit wack though

#

you need conditionals for vanish and such specifically for disorienting strikes being active

lilac stag
#

Then do neither.

vale pine
warm marlin
#

i personally don't think predisorient should be in the official sim because it's not guaranteed and the vast majority are not going to do it (im sure some in this channel still don't know about it)

#

im sure warlocks arent putting that sort of thing in

lilac stag
#

Inflated numbers for no reason

warm marlin
#

if its just on the fuu sheet its fine but im pretty sure that's the one that gets submitted to simulationcraft

lilac stag
#

even on the sheet, off chance a dev actually looks at it

swift tinsel
#

I'd personally rather see a disorient-less sheet but then note the % increase for doing it

warm marlin
#

i perma abuse it and sometimes a wipe just happens instantly or whatever you cannot always have it ready for every pull

lilac stag
#

add it to the bug sheet with the percent increase

warm marlin
#

gallywix cuff bomb explodes

lilac stag
#

Or do an outlaw !prepull

young mural
astral axle
#

ive not followed the plot closely for prepull madness. is the gist to use symbols and sec tech at some point and let em recharge before the boss pull?

lilac stag
#

You keep your Disorienting by using Sectech before wipe

#

So you can’t do it if there’s zero combat events before pull

warm marlin
#

Sectec on trash or before raid wipes -> don’t press backstab/ss until next pull -> once trash dead or rezzed, presymbols

clever delta
#

yeah but than on wipe you dont have sectech ready so you press cloak and evasion and making wipe longer looking like pepega just to have shit like this ready

#

but having it in sims is just wrong

warm marlin
#

Yep gotta send dance cloak evasion to get the sectec out

#

Cheat death angle

reef elm
#

wait do you not even have to press Netherprism?

#

i cant see it on the sim thing

astral axle
#

actually heinous

supercharger cheese makes more sense

#

as its very easy to do

thats no supercharger prepull either?

steel zinc
#

yeah nothing

#

vanilla pulling

vale pine
#

alright, its updated

steel zinc
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
tender frost
#

so 70k ish from pre disorienting

warm marlin
clever delta
#

its still more than racial bonus 😄

steel zinc
#

thats a lot

#

ya

#

more then some trinket upgrade

vale pine
#

racial is also 1% iirc

#

i play undead so i lose quite a bit

steel zinc
#

fuu did you put in the new opener?

#

If we had strikes up?

vale pine
#

i did not change the opener, no

steel zinc
#

ok just checked

clever delta
#

what is the new opener

steel zinc
#

but might be worth another couple 0.1%

#

if you have disorienting up you evis and rupture before cds

warm marlin
vale pine
#

its the old more or less

#

you just vanish-strike instead

steel zinc
#

so strike, flag, rupture, vanish, strike, evis and then cds

#

the bot deleted this opener

#

for w/e reason

#

must be to good then KEKW

astral axle
#

oh another noob question, sometimes when i vanish i get broken out before i can even strike, what causes that?

steel zinc
#

stealth is a stance like def stance for warrior

astral axle
#

i see, so is there a work around

tepid trellis
#

wait for the global to be completely over

#

then vanish

astral axle
#

Got it, thank you

tender frost
#

making sure you sectec before wipe on prog is not gonna be worth the mental

warm marlin
#

eh its not that bad + its mental gain by avoiding coup opener rng

tender frost
#

does it guarantee 2nd sectec in first dance with tfd

#

w/ new tier

warm marlin
#

dont think so but not sure

warm marlin
#

predisorient + vanish opener does allow you to hit it on live already though

#

so increases the chances a lot

clever delta
#

do we hold the sectech for second dance or not

#

i was always holding

warm marlin
#

no send it

clever delta
#

nice

random sparrow
#

will the first dance bug with vanish still be a thing in new patch

tender frost
#

pretty sure as long as you chain dance immediately even if its last global of first dance it gets buffed by the next one kinda like if you sb after sectec in opener

tepid trellis
#

its dynamic so as long as the dance buff is up

#

it will get the dmg buff from dance

clever delta
#

nice nice

#

im pretty sure i read somewhere before to hold for second dance

#

but idk maybe im making it up

tepid trellis
#

dont think any guide had it specifically written with TFD and sectech

#

that you can just insta send it

clever delta
#

i mean reading it here

tepid trellis
#

no idea, i also dont think it actually really matters

steel zinc
#

It also depends on proccs imo. If dance is only up less then 1 sec I just wait for my next dance charge

#

that can happen

the real maghar gain will be week 37 fractilius farm when its a 2m30s fight that you sync cds with forge

i was thinking about going dwarf too

lilac stag

I’ll miss avoiding m+

Is this the most difficult rogue spec?

is sub finally the raid spec? 😄

silent steeple
steel zinc

if you screw up a cd set its joever

lilac stag
steel zinc
lilac stag
#

I wonder if folks that say outlaw is harder, if it is actually less forgiving or if folks just struggle with the apm

#

to each their own. watches guildies struggle to play assa on an alt

hazy breach
#

Sub is the least forgiving for sure, but theres other difficulty besides things being punitive

steel zinc
#

Outlaw you just need to be in the "flow" sub is more about planing and executing that plan.

#

Outlaw your more in moment to moment gameplay. Sub your always thinking ahead

lilac stag
#

Sub feels like trying to recover from a mistake is the real struggle

warm marlin
#

you will lose a lot of damage screwing up in big cds as sub, outlaw you will lose damage for every mistake you ever make and they will snowball together

steel zinc
#

imo if you screw up a cd window like for example you press flag and ptr lag says nah you didnt and your omega screwed and do half the dps

steel zinc
warm marlin
#

but each individual error on outlaw matters a lot less than screwing up sub cds

steel zinc
#

but sub also is very chill outside of your cds

#

you are lit a paid actor during these phases

#

tank or healer do more dps

swift tinsel
#

I usually switch to mechanics mode in between when it doesn’t scuff my cdr

steel zinc

If I am cds cloak is a dmg amp cd evoker

some minimal things change

onyx dawn

So we can rip the 11.1 tree on PTR and it's gucci?

I normally play Sin, never really played Sub for a long time and wanted to mess around with it on ptr

loud salmon
steel zinc
#

on ptr you play different talents because of bug fixes and tier but you play the same nearly

hazy breach
#

Fast in cds, glacially slow outside

steel zinc
#

In m+ there are different builds

lucid jackal
#

Sub is slower than sin outside of Cd's

#

As fast as outlaw in cds

loud salmon
#

how is sin/sub vs fury warr? anyone know?

steel zinc
#

fury warrior is more outlaw gameplay imo

lucid jackal
#

Sin is closer to arms

loud salmon
#

💀

lucid jackal
#

If you like fury you probably would best be fit for outlaw

loud salmon
#

no I hate fury 😄

#

I like timing things tbh

steel zinc
#

if you like to plan out a fight

#

sub is the way imo

loud salmon
#

good to know ty

steel zinc
#

you can shift cds like no other class

lucid jackal
#

Sub and sin play closer to how arms does

#

If that's Ur question

loud salmon

How is tauren for sub/sin?

I love arms so its perfect

messing aorund with sub right now, and it honestly dont seem too bad

it is not bad

so nobody would touch sub in m+

kind of since s3 DF

do you know sub or fatebound will have better dmg amp in execute?

i mean fatebound is rly good

and you play the execute talents

brittle plinth
vale pine
#

at least for now, again apl might change things

#

tier set atm also seems to be playable but not mandatory

#

making 2p/4p quite dynamic

#

the problem rly is the bad scaling once you have more targets

chrome palm
#

whispyr said zoldyck doesnt buff fatebound tails last night

#

which might mean its lower execute

vale pine
#

hmm

stable plume
#

I saw the APLs have been updated for 11.2, I’m assuming there’s still more fine tuning to come right?

winged kernel
#

spreadsheet shows outlaw still better single target for sims?

perhaps depending on fight length, holding 1 usage of prism could result in a big execute

winged kernel
#

whispyr iirc still works on some updates

#

i did look into aoe for sub, but i need to look again if the simc implementation is correct

as it seems like you would currently move to AoE on ~4 targets

(use BP)

frank path

it doesnt look like theres aoe on dimensius so wondering if fatebound is possible

fatebound is def. a good choice if there is mostly single target

Being able to move your dances to good timers is pretty high value and fatebound doesn't bring the same level of flexibility
