Oab adds and stix adds and even Rik adds were issue for more people than top50

hollow spear
#

If I tried to stick to boss on Araz, I'd be benched before I could blink

#

Calling it now

hazy breach
#

Well ours also doesnt include stacking coups before which is +1m or so

astral axle
#

well yeah rogues don't have blink heheh

hollow spear
#

It doesn't include prism optimisation for amps either

hazy breach
#

And I havent looked at 18 stack prism things either

#

Since its been 15 for most of ptr

hollow spear
#

Gotta chill it with the fatebound propaganda

hazy breach
#

But thats applicable to fatebound too ofc

lilac stag
#

either or options are nice. Just shit assa got another sub thing with 90 seconds.

#

speculation is fun

hazy breach
#

Idk i think prism stonks are gonna go way up after like week 2 when people realize not every fight is 5 minutes with BL on pull

lilac stag
#

yup

hazy breach
#

Like sims are

bleak night
#

as long as i get mine before everyone starts yapping for it themselves

steel jolt
#

any prismmaxxers

lilac stag
#

looking at prog vs parse logs I think will be interesting as well

long sun
#

yo prism + forgeweaver arizz = damage amp = power

hollow spear
#

The good thing is that most guilds stick to 5min patchwerk sims

hazy breach
#

Idk im not vibing with the double on-use

#

I dont see the value

hollow spear
#

Not sure if he meant the boss or the trinket

lilac stag
#

my cope is badge + prizmism

#

Menty I’d like to not sit on 2 flags no trinket amp

hazy breach
#

Oh ye maybe he meant the boss actually

lilac stag
#

Even though it likely means very little

hazy breach
#

So much yapping about the trinket ive forgetten about the boss named the same thing

long sun
#

oh yai meant just using it on the boss

hazy breach
astral axle
#

i'm so prism maxxed that all my cross-sections parallel to my bases are translations of those bases

long sun
#

or like nexus king but that fight only has one damage amp

lilac stag
#

little yappers. Who has time for boss talk

warm marlin
#

this guy's ICANT is so low rez wtf

hazy breach
#

Big pad stonks

#

Is that the p3 add platforms

hazy breach

#

yo also why is it when i try to input the apl from fuu's sheet into raidbots my computer blows up

did you try expert

in mimiron

im here

alpine wraith
#

yp quick wont work

hazy breach
lilac stag
#

Advanced

bleak night
hazy breach
#

You got some of the non apl stuff in there

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

But im fairly sure the default apl is updated

#

So you shouldnt need the custom ones

Has the rule for BP changed for trickster?

Ethical rogue gigachad HOLY

could have gone dobby given everyone elses ranking 🤣

steel zinc
#

oh eleem answered already

steel zinc
long sun
#

also hold up the ST sim has us playing first dance? that is some crazy mode shit

hazy breach
#

Wm stinky

#

But technically on like 6+ min fights you can swap

lucid jackal
#

Wm and sf are both very mid talents

tulip gorge
lucid jackal
#

So swapping for improved storm and tfd isn't a big loss

cerulean beacon

SF isn't even mid, it's straight up trash

# hazy breach Wm stinky

i hate first dance cause the second sec tec often lands between the 2 dances so I have to minimize the gap, which is difficult using the bs macro

tulip gorge
steel zinc
#

Talking 11.2 here

hazy breach
#

You can hold onto it if you went, its worse but better than having the sectech be outside dance if you feel like youre often screwing it up

tulip gorge
#

Yes but still it’s insane

steel zinc
#

idk anymore for 11.1 because cba its over since 2 months

tulip gorge
#

So nimble flurry is just low target cleave

#

Or if you want to be ethical

steel zinc
#

and prio

hazy breach
#

Nimble is for coup and strikes kek

steel zinc
#

yeah you can just do evis for more funnel

#

yeah

#

in aoe you go dance etc. strike--->sectech---> and then Coup > BP

steel zinc
#

and always strike just use storm to apply find weakness with the rotten imo.

long sun
#

ahhh ok and we drop replicating shadows for improved shuriken storm bc now we use shuriken storm to avoid unseen blade munching during double coup

tulip gorge
#

So we still sectech as first finisher during dance

steel zinc
#

rotten is huge quality of live for m+ imo

hazy breach

#

wait do our capstones suck so much we dont even take a point in rotten or finality anymore?

tulip gorge
#

Can’t wait to have a look at the updated guides

grand wyvern
long sun
hazy breach
#

You need to drop replicating to reach planned execution as it effectively requires two points (imp sht is quite useless)

hazy breach
grand wyvern
#

nvm i am cooked

hazy breach
#

But ye im not sure about m+ talents

#

The rotten storm thing seems quite bad now with tier so shrugeg

grand wyvern
hazy breach
#

And in practice you often end up eviscerating quite a bit anyway because youre often fighting prio mobs but idk

steel zinc
#

With current tier or new?

hazy breach
#

New

steel zinc
#

Its really good idk. Casual uses it too

hazy breach
#

Ye but sim hates it as you lose unseen blades in dance

#

And If you proc 2p your strike+unseen2x does more than BP anyway

steel zinc
#

yeah the sim also doesnt play first dance

hazy breach
#

On the 8 targets you hit that is

steel zinc
#

yeah but also sim doesnt account for bp having more range.

steel zinc
#

Or does nimble have that?

swift tinsel
#

Pledging to go 0 BP in m+ all season

warm marlin
#

its -6k with this apl but gains 10k for some reason with old vanish opener

#

dont ask me why

swift tinsel
#

Secret sauce

#

Can’t explain it or it isn’t secret

hazy breach
#

You should try doing it with copies so its easier to compare

warm marlin
#

i was lazy

hazy breach
#

But either way apl on phone is doomed KEKWBASS

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Not sure what you mean

steel zinc
#

With more targets?

#

Like bigger pulls just bp should pull more ahead or not?

bleak night
hazy breach
#

What

#

I wasnt saying to not use BP

swift tinsel
#

Gotta have UB’s that nimble grant a stack per target hit

hazy breach
#

I said to not storm during dance for rotten

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

Really see stack waste there

steel zinc
#

You can also just do it before dance

#

thats what I do

swift tinsel
#

If UB granted max stacks each time lol

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

Could probably delay pot for it too

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

could do on longer fights

hazy breach
#

But ye makes sense that its similar

warm marlin
#

that is using prism on pull with blades (to avoid overcap), with 3min blades, then using it if boss will die before last blades (and last 20s)

alpine wraith
#

delay 5 min+ pot

#

to a 3 min prism

swift tinsel
hazy breach
#

Ye prism got value thats hard to sim for sure

#

Glad they made it cap at 18

steel zinc
warm marlin
#

being able to hold it for 3mins makes it a lot better in real content

swift tinsel
#

It means no weird shenanigans

hazy breach
#

You can use it as 90s, and you probably will by default

#

But sometimes you can hold it for 18 stacks instead

steel zinc
#

also fight dependend I guess

swift tinsel
#

Bc of its stack time being 2:30 before

steel zinc
#

yeah

warm marlin
#

but any time where your 90s flag is less value or your 180s flag is more value (adds, dmg amp, mechanics, etc) prism goes brazy

steel zinc
#

Imo Prism also undersims for assa. Should beat ritual

hazy breach
steel zinc
#

fatebound

hazy breach
#

Well assa cares about BL

#

So not having a trinket on pull with BL sucks more

#

Than it does for sub

steel zinc
hazy breach
#

Ofc

steel zinc
#

there are some bosses where you lust during dmg amp and last and 2nd last boss have dmg amps

warm marlin
hollow spear
#

What if you lust at 4min for the 2min classes

warm marlin
#

would expect otherwise but maybe BL does change it

hollow spear
#

Fatebound in shambles

steel zinc
hazy breach
steel zinc
#

Forge boss has its first dmg amp at ~1:35 and 2nd mythic boss roughly 2:30

hollow spear
#

Are you really holding lust on araz

#

Doubt

steel zinc
#

I would argue depending on fight timings that sub and assa fatebound will be insane during dmg amps

steel zinc
#

Just saying rogue is really good for those dmg amps

hollow spear
#

Yeah

#

And on sub you can move your dances into amp windows

#

If your flag doesn't align

hazy breach
#

Thats why im gonna play the rogue spec that also takes 20% less damage

steel zinc
hollow spear
#

Fatebound is even squishier than ds kekdog

steel zinc
#

Sadly they fixed the endboss from 200% dmg amp phase to 100%

#

If that was 200% you would stack rogues

#

Like that was clear

#

doesnt matter if lust or w/e

bleak night
hazy breach
#

Beta 40% chance to take 10% less damage VS gigachad always take 10% less damage

steel zinc
#

I just play either sub or sin w/e will see.

hollow spear
#

It reduces damage on Mondays with a humidity of 50%+

steel zinc
jade urchin
#

are we gonna replace 4set with 2-2 asap or wait for 4 to 4?

hazy breach
#

Asap

#

New 2p is about as good as old 2+4 together

#

And new 4p is bonkers

hollow spear
#

Every day I don't have 4p will be misery

bleak night
#

surely sub is like #1 prio for tier right

#

since they giga nerfed ww tier

young crypt
#

Is there a spreadsheet that shows all the specs rough power gain from tier

hazy breach
#

Dont believe there is one yet no, but those should always be taken with a gain of salt anyway

lucid jackal

#

padding SCHIZO

bleak night
#

but good to know

hazy breach
#

Doesnt seem like its identical anymore, but theres few differences

#

So we will still bonk hard in aoe with st build

swift tinsel
#

Probably just competing with dev for tier token if they’re still nutso

#

Since war and monk are kinda down bad

maiden oar
#

hopefully #1 prism prio too nukofat

bleak night
#

celestial tier set was op as fuck for a bit but then they nerfed it by like 50% lmao

swift tinsel
#

Yeah both of our ww switched lmao

bleak night
#

dev tier sets have changed so much idek what they would be

swift tinsel
#

We have a guy that enjoys Aug in raid and only plays dev if he’s bored lol

#

You see funny things in casual raids

bleak night
#

based

#

tbf aug in raid genuinely seems interesting

#

i was talking with someone a bit about how they choose who to buff and when

#

and like yeah some classes are better than others but then you realize you're in a wr 1000 guild and people have different skill levels

swift tinsel
#

Ye he uses an MRT note with timestamps and spotlight frames in Cell

#

Which that feature is goated for Aug

bleak night
#

so a lot can actually go into it

#

would be fun if they had transmog

grand wyvern
swift tinsel
#

Yeah it’s perfect for people who love obsessing over logs

#

And seeing who is blasting when every 30sec

grand wyvern
#

it also changes per encounter and people performance will have variance, its a nightmare

hazy breach
#

The orbs spawned from the antenna trinket looks like the transmitter orbs

chrome palm
#

Do you notice that when you chase the orbs they’ll move away from you

bleak night
sullen hare
#

Oh God is it a fixed tether?

chrome palm
#

If you’re chasing a pack while tank is gathering and the orb spawns behind you, I’ve had them move away from me a little bit when I change direction to collect them

carmine portal
alpine wraith
#

in the dummies already there were like 4 people

#

and it seemed a disco

#

because even some healers/tanks want it dont forget so many dps

sullen hare
#

Is its pathing as finicky as the obelisk out of arakara?

#

Because that trinket finally worked like a month into the expansion but you could tell it was made for ranged

swift tinsel
#

seeing other peoples' orbs is gonna be a fun time lol

#

Who would you say is a good streamer/youtuber to watch to get a guide for sub rotation for next patch?

chrome palm
#

Hachadino and Shindig will probably make videos

bleak night
#

i will too so keep an eye out

alpine wraith
#

yea mine will be up tomorrow

#

i already have the opener clipped on twitch if you want a sneak peak but not up on yt yet

summer lynx
#

Are there any sheets for all the sims of the classes currently?

lilac stag
#

Yes. No not sharing. They’re all bait since effective is behind due to state of ptr.

#

roll warlock if you want meta. kekdog

random mason
#

Or mage

bleak night
#

the answer is always mage

#

"what spec will be good in raid?" mage

#

"what m+ meta tell me" mage

#

"what-" just play mage

lilac stag
#

sub I think has secured lowest ST sim though.

swift tinsel
#

supposedly enhance is below it

lilac stag
#

Totemic doesn’t have tier yet

swift tinsel
#

but they might be equal if not considering pre-pull shenanigans

lilac stag
#

The fact that sub is 1.5 milly behind lock is comical

bleak night
#

warlock only a tier btw

#

i just realised the evis icon is a guy getting stabbed in the neck not someone getting stabbed in the ankle

graceful crown
short radish
#

how did you see this and think of an ankle?!??!?!

bleak night
#

the face is the leg

#

and the shoulder is a sock

#

and he was getting stabbed in the ankle

short radish
#

and the ankle has a mustache?

bleak night
#

yours doesnt?

short radish
#

nah i can't grow facial hair

#

or ankle hair

bleak night
#

i never looked very closely ok

short radish
#

tbh i can kinda see it

#

if you ignore the hair

#

at first glance

#

it does look kinda like a slipper

worldly remnant
#

If you ignore all the details and squint, sure

shell willow
#

Lol

bleak night
#

i didnt really play sub before this season

#

ok

#

ive only ever glanced at it

native zodiac
#

that comment actually just ruined the way i look at evis

#

why does it look like a leg

bleak night
worldly remnant
#

You guys are fried if that looks like a leg

hybrid prism
#

how is fire mage?

steel jolt
#

why are you asking the rogue discord that

chrome palm
#

kinda like sub but less burst, ranged, more util, blue instead of yellow, more magic focused

bleak night
hybrid prism
#

because im a sub rogue main but i had been having fun playing fire. Then I went on vacation for two weeks and followed zero news or anything. So i was curious!

#

I am not part of the mage discord and i guarantee yall are cooler than them and would be honest.

chrome palm
#

it is like the worst mage atm

bleak night
#

if i were a mage player i'd play arcane

hybrid prism
#

well fire is and always will be the coolest spec. Same with sub. That's why I play both!

bleak night
#

im just too slow to play fire

#

same reason i stopped playing outlaw

cant press spacebar fast enough anymore

jaunty heath
#

What does sin rogue stand for is that sub rogue with a specific build or just an abbreviation for assa?

bleak night
#

assassination

jaunty heath
#

When someone says sin rogue is doing 5.5mil dps on ST what does the sin refer to?

slate marlin
#

assa

vale pine
jaunty heath
#

thank you, I played rogue for 3 years and didnt knew what sin stood for

#

always refered as assa

dreamy badger
#

Its ass rogue, you are correct

edgy reef
#

Quick question to some sub gentlemen, my rogue is going from outlaw to sub (to him he just plays what is simming highest and thats his take anyway). Does sub need restealth? PepeNote

vale pine
#

you are in for a surprise^^

edgy reef
#

oh no

vale pine
#

if you play the first dance

#

which you should, because its good

#

you not only need a restealth

#

but you need to have downtime after

#

technically stealth is not as important but being out of combat for 6 seconds

edgy reef
#

rough

#

wanted to chain more bc of tank trinket

#

unlucky

vale pine
#

...

#

chaining is fine

edgy reef
#

why do you need downtime?

vale pine
#

the talent was deisgned to require it

edgy reef
#

thats dumb

#

hella dumb

vale pine
#

well it was the latest talent and change blizz did to the spec

#

so basically the "state of the art" in terms of design

keen dome
#

How many times does it need to 'proc' to be stronger than the other choices, Fuu?

vale pine
#

not much

#

weaponmaster is shit

keen dome
#

You can chain and pull, make the rogue adjust.

vale pine
#

yes

#

its a good point

#

even tho you can't proc it much, its still worth picking

keen dome
#

They'll get natural downtime in the key to make the talent worth it regardless. Pull EVERYTHING. ALL THE TIME.

vale pine
#

and chain pulling is not a problem

bleak night
#

if your rogue actually just plays whatever sims highest he deserves to be chain pulled on

keen dome
#

Trash MAXIMIZE

edgy reef
#

He usually does adjust and does fine, im just asking for my personal knowledge.

steel zinc
vale pine
#

you basically don't rly optimize aroud it

edgy reef
#

One of the few people who play outlaw and dont yell at me for not letting them restealth on chain

keen dome
#

Sub doesn't really need restealths. Just know that we work on CD's, so there'll be pulls where he has nothing and pulls where he kills everything.

edgy reef
vale pine
#

^

edgy reef
vale pine
#

i mean it is stupid in design

#

but you don't plan around it

steel zinc
vale pine
#

but take it if you can get it without adjustments

#

so its more a "it could be better"

#

this is diffrent to assassiantion/outlaw

edgy reef
#

Guess its less for me to think about

keen dome
#

It's a funny situation where a pretty weird, medicore talent is the best choice because everything else is so dire haha

edgy reef
vale pine
#

both have direct increases in stealth

keen dome
#

Don't pull small if you can help it. Sub likes big boys

vale pine
#

funnily enough

#

even on them, doing chain pulls makes more sense

keen dome
# vale pine funnily enough

it is very funny to me that the spec built around stealth abilities is the spec that relies on stealth the least

edgy reef
#

ive been told we need to pull big and often to time our high keys

#

and i need to get back into prot paladin prison because melee comp got nerfed o7

vale pine
#

but its basically like this

bleak night
#

due to shadow dance

keen dome
#

Oh, absolutely

#

It's just funny

edgy reef
#

and its designed for dot dmg

vale pine
#

DF changed talent trees significantly, and the dev team had to introduce stealth mechanics to outlaw/assassiantion

#

as a consequence of moving shadow dance to the general tree

edgy reef
keen dome
#

And now they've moved Shadow Dance off the general tree, which is even funnier

edgy reef
#

wasnt shadow dance a cd for sub

#

specifically

keen dome
#

Yes, it still is. It was, then wasn't, then was.

vale pine
#

subtlety did not change, so it rly was just about making the other 2 specs have abilities interacting with stealth

bleak night
#

putting shadow dance in the class tree was definitely a decision

vale pine
#

given that dance was a

#

option and the dev team did not want to make it a must pick

#

things got bound to stealth

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

It was an interesting experiment but one I think failed miserably.

vale pine
#

and stealth fundermentally works the same as dance for these specs

#

thats not the case for subtlety

#

just to be clear

edgy reef
#

So they fucked around with an idea, didnt work out tried to bail out and failed?

keen dome
#

Best thing for Sub in key sis pulling big around their cooldowns.

vale pine
#

subtlety had one talent remaining which did require vanish to interact

bleak night
vale pine
#

but overall, due to how many talents increase things during "dance"

bleak night
#

but instead it was just something that was tacked on that assa/outlaw only used if it happened to sim well

vale pine
#

stealth became fairly irrelevant

vale pine
#

because dance has all the power

edgy reef
#

so outlaw does dmg all the time, sub is like a 1 min 30 right?

vale pine
#

90 sec big burst

keen dome
#

1:30 for our big cooldowns (Flagellation + Shadow Blades) and then we have smaller burst in Dance + Symbols every.. now and then 'cos it has CDR (typically twice between each bigger burst)

vale pine
#

then small brust windows between

#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

like 1-2 times between

#

usually

keen dome
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

so can assume "burst" every 30 sec as a rule of thumbs

keen dome
#

2 - 1 - 2 but in keys it can vary a bit more, I think?

tribal blade
#

quick question, does anyone know if the circles the azerite extractors spawn are baited on players or random drops

vale pine
#

with a BIG burst every 90 sec

tribal blade
#

in motherlode

keen dome
edgy reef
#

@vale pine so lets say you got a frost mage and a spriest with you as a sub, me as a tank can i go big pretty much all the time? or do i need some smaller pulls inbetween to breathe?

keen dome
#

So the rest might be randomly baited on players?

tribal blade
vale pine
#

@edgy reef
to go even further, blizz later removed dance from the tree but did change vanish to work functionally the same as dance for outlaw/assassination

keen dome
#

Pretty sure the tank always gets some on them

edgy reef
#

as a tank player

vale pine
edgy reef
#

you will always have baits on the tank

vale pine
#

what you can do as a tank

edgy reef
#

rest is random

#

they are yapping about extractors

vale pine
#

is to try to optimize around 90 sec

#

so you have big pulls or bosses aroudn that time

tribal blade
#

sub is probably the strongest when every pull is ~8 targets

vale pine
#

but i would not fundermentally change how i pull for it

edgy reef
vale pine
#

as mentioned even sin/outlaw are similar due to how chainpulling is often more dps than the small increase of restealth

edgy reef
#

Since they do burst dmg, i assume they are pretty much useless inbetween?

tribal blade
#

i think it depends on which build you're playing as sin tbh

tribal blade
#

getting restealths as bleed is pretty huge

edgy reef
#

is the burst aoe or more "funneled"

bleak night
#

its nice but good chainpulling is still better

#

but if you're pulling like one mob into the next pack then yeah restealth is better for bleed

vale pine
keen dome
#

All of Sub's damage is AoE these days up to 8 'cos we have a passive blade flurry (Nimble Flurry)

edgy reef
#

ive been told its uncapped dmg

tribal blade
#

i play bleed for the first half of rookery, and my dmg is astronomically higher and the key goes faster when the tank lets me get restealths

edgy reef
tribal blade
#

might just be me

bleak night
#

nimble is not uncapped

keen dome
#

It's capped at 8.

#

Black Powder only has a soft cap, though. Maybe you are thinking of that?

bleak night
#

and everything else is soft capped

tribal blade
#

nimble is capped and BP is soft capped at 8

#

so sub has it's full power at 8 targets

edgy reef
#

basicly all i got told was "dont care bout pull size go zug zug"

tribal blade
#

anything above that less strong

vale pine
#

rupture is not capped but it also doees not do big damage

bleak night
#

well zug zug is the best way to pull

keen dome
#

yeah

#

ALL the mobs. ALL the time

tribal blade
#

so sin is looking to be one of the strongest specs for next season huh

#

was watching yoda's video

edgy reef
#

its a big discussion apperently

tribal blade
#

he was saying with the changes to how hp/dmg scales in keys now specs that do funnel dmg are extremely valuable

vale pine
edgy reef
#

he isnt wrong by that statement

edgy reef
#

but im curious about sin dmg falling off if packs live to long

bleak night
#

i refuse to believe any sin player has told you it lacks damage garf_sit

edgy reef
#

or the ST

tribal blade
#

but sin's ability to have uncapped funnel is apparently strong enough to overlook sin's ST

bleak night
#

so it more than makes up for it in actual gameplay

edgy reef
#

is what ive been told

bleak night
#

and it doesnt really fall off if packs live

tribal blade
#

because you can pop a vanish charge

bleak night
#

you just reapply bleeds with vanish

edgy reef
#

hmm

#

fair

tribal blade
#

it just starts becoming a problem when your tank is chain pulling the whole dungeon

idk my rogue is practically speaking wanting to avoid being a poison merchant

#

so he is either playing sub or outlaw

tribal blade
#

and you're burning vanish charges on chains

#

next season sin gets to play x2 vanish charges though

edgy reef
#

but tbh i really couldnt care less about what spec ppl play, as long as they perform. Thats why i usually ask to have a understanding of the spec so i know what is "bad to pull"

#

basicly

#

so appreciate the input

tribal blade
#

what key levels do you do

edgy reef
#

we did 17s this season and then we kinda stopped since we had vacations and such. With us wanting to push title next season

tribal blade
#

ah ok so you were getting reasonably high up there

edgy reef
#

but im not playing vdh again

#

cuz fuck that

bleak night
keen dome
tribal blade
#

well it sounds like next season is gonna be big dps checks with the changes

#

so what specs people play will be very important

#

instead of just living the key

edgy reef
keen dome
#

Dozens of us. DOZENS.

tribal blade
#

like having at least 1 funnel spec in a key so the big hp mob dies alongside everything else

runic trail
bleak night
tribal blade
#

is so valuable for time saving

bleak night
#

no heroism here

keen dome
#

oh, true

edgy reef
#

yeah he did say that

keen dome
#

Well I guess he's playing Outlaw dracthyr_kek

edgy reef
#

but also swears by the fact that he refuses to play sin

warm marlin
edgy reef
#

we were going to go phys comp

#

but then they nerfed fdk and hunter

#

so now its back to ranged comp

bleak night
#

isnt fdk like 80%

#

well

#

frost

tribal blade
#

with how hard required arcane is gonna be

#

prob a caster season again

edgy reef
#

@bleak night yes and no

bleak night
#

mage required so you bring vdh

edgy reef
#

depends hellla on build

warm marlin
#

Brew/rsham/outlaw/feral/idk warrior or something

bleak night
#

vdh is there so you bring more casters

edgy reef
#

vdh banned

tribal blade
edgy reef
#

its way to many seasons with vdh so far

tribal blade
#

also can't wait to see how much they mega buff boomy

warm marlin
#

Actually pwarr looks good right

bleak night
#

time is a circle

edgy reef
#

pwarr is good absolutely but they removed spellblock

runic trail
#

I'm just hoping 10 keys are alright to do week 1, I just want to mindlessly slam my 8 keys after work and go back to sleep

edgy reef
#

and pretty much remove any ability to deal with magic damamge and dots

#

damage*

tribal blade
#

but with the change to dmg scaling in keys it'll be easier to bring paper tanks

edgy reef
#

yeah but like doing high key halls

warm marlin
#

I was watching yoda yesterday play an entire key in battle stance

bleak night
#

we pray for brew meta

edgy reef
#

while being a prot warr

warm marlin
#

Didn’t seem like tanks were afraid at all

edgy reef
#

tis rough

edgy reef
#

well yoda is yoda

#

mf does what he pleases

warm marlin
#

Limit testing not pressing defensives on tank busters

edgy reef
#

if you wanna see something dumb

#

look into Naowh doing keys during df without armor

#

as pwarr

#

during season 1 of df

tribal blade
#

sounds like next season is gonna be an even bigger onus on dps being good

bleak night
#

idk if im just misremembered other ptrs but dont the key levels being done already seem kinda high

edgy reef
#

that shit was fucking hella dumb

tribal blade
#

and healers and tanks just chilling

warm marlin
#

Idk apparently the buffs to hp and nerfs to damage have tuned m+ in such a way that tank survivability doesn’t matter

bleak night
#

like this season will be interesting for sure

edgy reef
#

well if there will be a phys comp

#

it will be with a brew

edgy reef
#

mark my words

tribal blade
#

people are gonna super toxic over dps charts again haha

edgy reef
#

its always a dps fistfight

bleak night
#

we back

edgy reef
#

@bleak night doubt

#

even with tanks being strong we need some form of help

tribal blade
#

dude i can't wait for the classic healer playing dps at the start of a key and then zoning out

warm marlin
#

The good old days of rdruid cosplaying as boomie for 90% of a key gladge

edgy reef
#

its not like in df where everyone was super self sustainable

warm marlin
#

All of ataldazar vibes omegalul

tribal blade
#

lol true that too

edgy reef
#

this is actually the most healthy state for tanks and healers

#

working together

#

atm

#

that ive seen since i started playing in SL

edgy reef
#

if you play a ranged comp with like a spriest and mage, you dont have many interupts so you wanna play a prot pala

#

for example

warm marlin
#

well that is always true but more so than most recent seasons apparently you are hard limited by damage

#

Probably more a tgp meta level thing but not having tank survivability matter means you could play ppal even if it was squishy af

edgy reef
#

it IS squishy atm

#

the only reason why it works is because resto druid is bonkers

#

and now they nerfed the dung dmg

#

if neither happened i was gonna strong arm us playing melee kekW

#

Well thanks anyway to anyone who gave input and info was appreciated pepelove

sick sand
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
stoic flower
#

Just read Fuu's guide on WoWhead: are we not throwing in a shuriken storm before sectech during flagg windows anymore for Danse? And probably not worthwhile to play around coup de grace?

lilac stag
#

We haven’t stormed before ST in ages

stoic flower
#

oh shit, I thought during AoE we used to throw in a shuriken before BP

#

but cool, answers my question

lilac stag
#

In m+ you storm for FW

stoic flower
#

I figured it was similar to how we throw in a backstab before sectech

#

Ya

lilac stag
#

Backstab is due to premed, so it does help.

stoic flower
#

I remember it was on the AoE part of the guide last season, but he doesn't have the shuriken storm in this iteration

#

wondering if that changed

#

Before it said something like "shuriken storm once"

upper narwhal
#

That was with The Rotten talent for guaranteed spreading of Find Weakness

warm wagon
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
stoic flower
#

@vale pine also noted under m+ builds that we take Inevitability instead of nado for m+, but the linked builds are nado (and not inevitability)

lilac stag
#

Look at the build. If rotten is dropped storm is useless

stoic flower
#

that answers it

lilac stag
#

Nado & dslice take with a pjsalt

stoic flower
#

Cool, so I can just take Inevitability instead of nado?

vale pine
#

migth be some weirdness with versioning

#

or i forgot to change

stoic flower
#

All good 🙂

#

We appreciate the hard work

#

But I'd love to not play nado tbh lol!

lilac stag
#

Dslice sims are better for gearing. Current sims have nado higher yet she is not played. Both should be close unless something changed.

#

Some also just hate the talent and won’t play it. raises hand

stoic flower
vale pine
#

but ye

#

you can def. spec out of tornado if you don't like it

weak flame
#

do we spam evis now with the shadowblades fix during cds in aoe ?

vale pine
#

e.g. go with replicating shadows

steel zinc
weak flame
#

5?

distant bison
#

7+ bp 5+ findweakness bp

vale pine
#

4+ it seems

#

but need to verify the sim changes

weak flame
#

do we really care about findweakness

keen dome
#

I will never care about find weakness. I hope it is upset by this.

vale pine
#

koji just put them in yesterday, so i had a look yesterday

#

but the results seem a bit weird

#

because target counts seem lower than you would assume from the change

#

tho nimble was nerfed down baseline

weak flame
#

yeah but ig in raid except in huge target count we always press evis

vale pine
#

4+ targets/ 3 fw targets is what i have in the latest apl change i tried

short radish
vale pine
#

but again, early estimate. Sim might be wrong

stoic flower
vale pine
#

moment

#

you can't get inev

#

because of the tree layout

stoic flower
#

wait you're right. sorry it's 2am here, but you're right lol

vale pine
#

so sec

#

i need to check the guide too, i might re-do the talent swap part

vestal escarp
#

gm

vale pine
#

maybe i should insert a table or sth

vestal escarp
#

news?

vale pine
#

basically

#

tornado - baseline
replicating - active 2
wm - active 3

#

but to help out with the decision

keen dome
#

Out of interest, are the S3 builds on WoWHead yet or is it that coming tomorrow?

vale pine
#

replicating is better in cleave

#

so 2, 3,4 tatgets

#

torando is better in aoe

#

maybe that helps?

#

wm is always bad (haha)

stoic flower
#

huge actually

#

thank you

remote shuttle
#

@vale pine can i find somewhere talent for s3 from ptr testing? We stay same rotten repshadows tfd and no finality?

vale pine
#

wrong fuu ^^

lilac stag
vale pine
#

its weird

vale pine
#

but rotten seems not that good now

distant bison
#

cold blood or tea for m+?

lilac stag
#

I mean weird interactions sums up sub

lilac stag
remote shuttle

oh sorry wanted to mention scath with that

vale pine
maiden oar
#

we still send storm between coups during blades right

vale pine

only with tier set

maiden oar
#

didnt see in rotation section so wanna be sure nothing changed

#

ok ok

vale pine
#

and only with the tier buff

maiden oar
#

yeah i meant with 4pc shouldve been more specific

```the two variations, wowhead still has the talent calc on the s1 taletns it seems interesstingly enough
#

the irst one was m+, the 2nd one st raid, with finality -> rotten as option

#

so kinda like first one just without tfd

vale pine
warm marlin
lilac stag
#

My guess is the difference isn’t going to be huge

warm marlin
#

I got the correct 72 when I had the main target and off targets with no fw no fazed

remote shuttle
vale pine
#

also there is natual variance in attacks

remote shuttle
#

Also i'm not too Happy to remove rotten for 1/2 finality

WM interacting with storm when

steady dune
#

WM is a boring talent, so fuck it

#

TFD is awesome

hazy breach
#

I havent simmed for s3, but in s2 gear and 8 target cleave you would need the fight to be like 15 minutes for it to beat tfd . Obviously both talents are unimpactful at that point and were talking miniscule differences, but still

hollow spear
#

People are going to sell their grandma for a 0.2% overall increase

remote shuttle
hollow spear
#

I might stick to the current m+ build

brisk onyx
#

like this one

hollow spear
#

@hazy breach couldn't we play the rotten as symbols - storm - dance - sectec - strike - bp/coup to not waste a dance global for storm?

#

Or is that overcooked?

#

With the rotten fix, this wouldn't be as int as in current season

remote shuttle
# brisk onyx

Oh u drop 8% Shadow damage i don't think that's worth, but i may be wrong

remote shuttle
brisk onyx
#

yes

hazy breach
hollow spear
#

Even at high target counts, like 15-20?

hazy breach
#

Yes

hollow spear
#

Kind of an enigma to me

#

Because you're still bping, no?

#

Is fw overrated or what

hazy breach
hollow spear
#

Which you probably won't if you don't have rotten

hazy breach
#

Most of the time you will

#

Its just the second dance in cds

hollow spear
#

Since I've installed the fw wa

#

I notice how few fw I have if I go into a fresh pull with cooldowns up

#

You only have a lot if you spend some time spamming storm in a pack

#

But you don't really do that with cd up

chrome palm
#

it feels usually pretty fine on ptr

#

you are super aggro with spamming storm for rupture anyways (usually)

#

and then storm between coup does very well at refreshing

keen dome
#

I have a question about the M+ build that may be very stupid. We take Nado and PV, and I assume PV is primarily because we want to path to DS, etc? Could you drop Nado for DD, then swap the PV point back into inevi? Why are we dropping Inevis?

hollow spear
#

Maybe I should just take the loss and delay cooldowns for a couple of seconds to get fw up that way

chrome palm
#

depends on the pull you can usually get a few off before hand

#

but if its first pull on streets then maybe you just go straight into cds

#

at least with scraft

hollow spear
#

Yeah that's where I feel like rotten might have value

#

But maybe it's too much feely and too little craft

chrome palm
#

dont like it personally

#

just seems to be way better options

hollow spear
#

Maybe the finality bug is subconsciously bothering me

#

Dunno

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

What I definitely don't subscribe to is the no shadowcraft tech, that just doesn't hit the spot.

chrome palm
#

but with tornado youre delaying for like 3-4s

lilac stag
#

We get focused too much on one pack imo.

#

How many sectechs are you losing overall. dracthyr_shrug

chrome palm
#

sometimes you do good damage but dont know if the other person has their monitor turned on

hollow spear
#

I just feel like it's so cooked on bosses

lilac stag
#

pugs gonna pug.

chrome palm
#

seemed ok on bosses really

#

like as sub youre not gonna be bottom on bosses either way

lilac stag
#

Nado on ST bosses 🤮

hollow spear
#

Nah, but I felt like it was a decent loss

chrome palm
#

i am very excited to try it on live in real groups

#

for gambit/halls

vestal escarp
#

Ah yes

#

Gambit and halls

#

Perfect bleed keys

lilac stag
#

nado still felt like cope for dmg out of cds on ptr

hollow spear
#

Do you usually use nado to spread ruptures or after cd to spam evis or bp?

chrome palm
#

not in cds because you cant proc ub

hollow spear
#

Nah I mean pre cd

chrome palm
#

yeah

#

p much off cd at least i was

#

so sometimes for evis

hollow spear
#

Maybe could argue flag into nado to stack, no clue

lilac stag
#

if cds are up you’re wasting CDR using it before hand.

chrome palm
#

not really

hollow spear
#

Eventually there's also a point of too much cdr

chrome palm
#

youre not cdr'ing your blades

hollow spear
#

Your symbols cannot keep up

chrome palm
#

so more ruptures = higher burst

#

yeah you reach a point where you can even overcap dance

hollow spear
#

Even with pre nado I ran into naked dances

chrome palm
#

but if youre running around in brew i think you could look at rs and veiltouched so you dont need tornado

#

pick up a bit more st

keen dome
#

Brew, my beloved

chrome palm
#

idk how it works in dungeonslice

#

but rs feels p good to spread bleeds without tornado

lilac stag
#

How are they naked if you’re swimming in symbols, or do you mean no Sectech?

chrome palm
#

no symbols

keen dome
#

Oh, I get why we're taking PV. urgh. Fuckin' PV..

hollow spear
#

You're not swimming in symbols

#

You're swimming in dances

lilac stag
#

Read that as too many

#

I see what you’re saying

keen dome
#

@lilac stag I need your intelligence: why are we dropping Ineviability in the M+ build? I can't figure it out, outside of just routeing?

vale pine
lilac stag
keen dome
#

The M+ one on WoWhead:

chrome palm
#

need dark shadow ig

keen dome
#

I assume it's because PV allows us to get the nodes below for a single point versus two (DD / Enivs)

slate marlin
keen dome
#

I assume you can just toss the Nado point into RS

#

Which is what I will be doing because DEATH TO THE TORNADO

vale pine
#

ye nado -> rs seems reasonable

#

because nado is more aoe focused

slate marlin
#

i dont mind tornado when out of cds and playing tea

keen dome
#

Yeah I assumed it was just an out-of-cooldowns button

slate marlin
#

ye its to spread ruptures and farm cdr

#

imagine if it was just aoe dmg and gave no cps

#

and it was instead an aoe cd

#

a proper one that is

keen dome
#

Ye, I've typed up pointless thoughts about it working differently before

#

It would be nice

slate marlin
#

we have to wait and see what 12.0 alpha has for us

mint swift
#

If blizzard doesn’t forget again

carmine portal
#

So what are we ideally spending nado generated CPs on?

keen dome
#

I assume ruptures out of cooldowns

vale pine
#

^

mint swift
#

That hurts to read

carmine portal
#

o7

keen dome
#

Extremely efficent combie generation to toss out rupture for cdr

carmine portal
#

Awesome good to know

#

I like the idea of the talent, never played it tho

tight arch
#

is it big los to have not dagger in oh?

carmine portal
#

Will give it a SPIN

keen dome
wicked joltBOT
#

Shadow Techniques is not normalized and this makes a slow weapon (axe/sword/mace/fist) in offhand significantly weaker and almost never worth equiping.

I wonder how much blizzard would cost to buy

So I can go ask them to add a posion toggle and also let sub use non-dagger OH's

lilac stag
keen dome
#

Probably!

#

I think my assumption of it just being efficent routing is right but urgh, URGH. PV!!!!!!

slate marlin
#

It doesnt suck come on, it just has turbo dead talents and almost no finisher talentsgarf_sit

lilac stag
#

you could likely try to sim the differences in st, 5T and dslice and see if there’s any other reason

#

Yeah, I will.

Also, is Atrophic Poison now the go-to for M+ and Raid? I was playing Numbing Poison for M+ previously.

also fuu why does sub sim again so low we were close to 5.3 yesterday what changed?

valid yoke

wicked joltBOT
carmine portal

right okay, that's not shown on the suggested talent build

It’s arguably better than overhealing since we don’t take a lot of dmg.

#

s3 HYPE

lilac stag
#

but each person will have their personal view on it

carmine portal
#

Ofc yeah

#

I like the idea of it

lilac stag
#

and likely builds leaving now Wowhead aren’t focusing on defensives

valid yoke
#

So I see fate bound assa simming slightly better than sub - something to be concerned about or is it another outlaw sim padding thing

vale pine
#

i removed pre combat disoriented

lilac stag
#

Took out disorienting shenanigans @steel zinc

vale pine
#

because it makes no sense to assume ti baseline

i had it accidentally in while copy/pasting the pre pull stuff

Ahh gotcha

because we like stats

lilac stag
#

tbf fate assa in sheet should be “coming soonTM”

steel zinc
#

Like Kyveza yeah optimize everything rest is w/e

vale pine
#

The results might change, as well as talents

#

so take the numbers with a grain of salt

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

Fate should be 7 mio without providing context

lilac stag
#

I mean

#

but I don’t think the 90 sec stuff was that easy to just plug in so give it some time

vale pine
#

you can do some quick fixes to make 90 sec work, but if there was already effort spend on doing so

#

better to just wait the 1-2 days

#

and have a more optimized version/result

lilac stag
#

yup

#

So even with an old apl that’s not super optimized it’s doing well.

#

insert adds dmgs st only propaganda here

hollow spear
#

I think the kb bug was also in there

lilac stag
#

Yeah KB buggy

hollow spear
#

Dunno scath, you're the omega fb merchant here

#

I appreciate pushback to that

#

I think we’re going to end up on assa which I’m tired of. pepe_chad

FB at least plays better

warm marlin
#

I do believe I will be practicing some fatebound assa next week

limber dirge
#

fatebound sin is really chill

lilac stag
#

and it’s ok. for most of us it won’t really matter. Your raid needs ultimately matter the most.

#

so someone may see no value in blasting boss only, other will

warm marlin
#

I don’t mind assa that much to be honest, it’s still rogue and still a burst spec

lilac stag
#

#

Mark disappearing like our clones is awful

Any fight with important adds where you’d hate your life playing assa you probably play sub anyway

Honestly the thing I dislike the most is getting parried

#

I think subs kit is good, but now that kit kinda getting some crossover with assa. Shocking.

I still worried we’re undertuned as a spec.

The burst sequence of fb is also kinda fun ngl, seeing the coins go off
