Ye then idk

vale pine
#

i have storm on a modifier key

swift tinsel
#

3 action bars with some flexible binds on a fourth

vale pine
#

i have my bars hidden

#

but iirc 32 or 33 keybinds

clever delta
#

i have 4 action bars

swift tinsel
#

1-5, shift 1-5, 3 regular/alt/ctrl mouse buttons, QERFG, shift+QERFG

#

F1-F4

#

` for extra action button

clever delta
#

i dont use alt only shift and for some control

swift tinsel
#

I really should hide my bars in combat

#

I used to when I used Elvui but never added that to regular bars after switching to default ui

#

alt is for very purposeful important utility binds so I don't fat finger them

clever delta
#

i loved my shift spacebar

#

but than transmitter happened

mystic veldt
#

is Gloomblade good ?

clever delta
#

and had to remove it

mystic veldt
#

or do i not take it

swift tinsel
#

that's my pvp pane bind from cata lol

warm marlin
#

1-5, shift 1-5, ctrl 1-5, qertyfghvb, shift qertyfghvb, ctrl qertyfghvb, mb4/5 💯

swift tinsel
#

gloomblade is taken as Deathstalker only

mystic veldt
swift tinsel
#

mb4/5 goated

#

had to take a really fine look at binds when setting up enhance lol

#

bc that mfer has so damn many

ivory swallow
#

Hey folks, I am back after a couple of months (5 maybe). What is the news regarding subs (main sub)? Any major change to skills?

swift tinsel
#

sub so back season 3

#

also sounds like pvp trinket farm stuff won't be doable until next week

clever delta
#

make sense

swift tinsel
#

its kind of a wacky spec but its so satisfying

#

gonna swap between it and ele as an alt to mix things up

summer lynx
#

Are there any sites or docs up yet with all the classes sims?

wise scaffold
#

is there a 'preferred' rogue specialisation for prog? or is it still too early to conclude

left ledge
#

yeah

#

it is preferred that it is sub

lucid jackal
#

Sub or sin, gonna figure out on actual raid release s

left ledge
#

but for real, out of the rogue specs its looking like sub or sin

lucid jackal
#

Sims don't tell u what's the best

swift tinsel
#

sub best spec world

left ledge
#

but rogue itself isnt really looking amazing

#

pretty mid class

viral phoenix
#

I heard for m+ dark brew build the shuriken tornado is the highest simming talent choice here but I found playing with out premed kinda blows, does anyone know how bad it is to run premed over tornado for m+ here?

left ledge
#

its not that bad, just play whatever feels the smoothest

#

tornado isnt that big of a dps gain

swift tinsel
#

yeah nado techinically sims the best but isn't that fun

#

so you're more than fine to play without it

#

iirc it usually sims highest

viral phoenix
#

ok cool torando rupture spreading is kinda fun but I wanna hold on to my premed

shrewd lantern
#

Wait hold on

#

no shadowcraft

#

what in tarnation

plush roost
#

Yea

#

THats the new DB tech for next patch

shrewd lantern
#

getmeout

plush roost
#

Plays like DF s1/2

lilac stag
shrewd lantern
plush roost
#

its actually pretty nice, loses a bit on boss dps but your overall is quite good

shrewd lantern
#

df s2 is the worst iteration of sub

hollow spear
#

All these variations sim quite closely to each other

shrewd lantern
#

i've played in awhile

#

from a fun pov

viral phoenix
#

rupture dam goes hard

hollow spear
#

So you can play whatever you want ig

plush roost
#

yeah, the current live build is sitll good on ptr

lilac stag
#

Fuck rupture dmg. Go play assa.

shrewd lantern
#

flat damage profile sub

#

is just so boring

left ledge
#

this not a rogue expac

plush roost
viral phoenix
#

yeah its not outlaw all the sudde nlol

plush roost
#

flag/blades still does abajillon dmg

shrewd lantern
#

df s2 sub

#

was basically outlaw flat

#

for the most part

plush roost
#

yeah s2 sub was flat af

left ledge
#

s1 and 2 of df

#

was literally 2 buttons

plush roost
#

this just plays like s2 sub, its profile is way diff

left ledge
#

storm bp storm bp storm bp storm bp

shrewd lantern
#

nah "prio"

#

storm evis

left ledge
#

you could press blades if you wanted to

shrewd lantern
#

lose to the sv

left ledge
#

lmao "prio"

#

i remember people trying to argue

shrewd lantern
left ledge
#

for funnel

#

in s2

#

brother

shrewd lantern
#

wheres that copy pasta

#

about not pressing bp

lilac stag
#

Can I argue for a new dev for midnight? Or a dev for midnight? OMEGAKEKW

left ledge
#

funniest thing is

#

our ST was basically just gloom evis

viral phoenix
left ledge
#

you actually just hit the 2 buttons

lilac stag
#

sephuz please come back

viral phoenix
#

tornado off cooldown outside of shadow dance to spread ruptures right

swift tinsel
#

ye

#

unless something changed

left ledge
#

yep yep

#

always gonna be that way

plush roost
#

My intense dance rotation: gloomblade, evis, strike(maybe 2) , secret technique, WOAHHHH

left ledge
#

unless you're in MASS aoe

#

then i guess you can nado into a dance with bp

#

but most of the time you're gonna be flurrying

shrewd lantern
#

when people tried to argue with me early df sub wasnt flat damage

#

"but cb sectec"

#

yeah one gcd every 45

left ledge
#

early df we were a gloomblade spec

#

you pressed gloomblade

shrewd lantern
#

*goonblade

left ledge
#

you pressed dance so that when it ended your gloomblade did more damage

plush roost
#

mfw my gloomblade at 100% lingering crits for 1m and my evis crits for 800k

left ledge
#

i remember popping blades AFTER dance

shrewd lantern
#

Also

#

PV trait era

#

pressing in dance

#

because more damage than strike

lilac stag
#

Good times.

shrewd lantern
#

I like when my damage breakdown was

#
  1. evis
  2. banshee's blight
  3. blood link
#

imagine if blizz actually made eon a talent node

#

but nah you'll take goremaw and like it

swift tinsel
#

dom shards can die in every single fire

#

literal worst gearing ideas ever created

shrewd lantern
#

wdym

#

just get rank 4 unholy week 2

#

(Yes i had my unholy set first week of mythic)

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

needing shards plus the gear with sockets

#

had multiple people quit that tier

lilac stag
#

Choose wisely.

shrewd lantern
#

Nah shroud movement speed is HUGE

#

necessary pathing

lilac stag
#

The zone was a banger though

swift tinsel
#

yeah Korthia wasn't bad, there was plenty of stuff to do there

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah i mean i probably would have had a worse sanctum experience

swift tinsel
#

ZM was shit tho

lilac stag
#

always felt busy

shrewd lantern
#

if i didnt get my unholy set the first week of mythic

hazy breach
shrewd lantern
#

Sure but having it mandatory

#

is so cringe

grand galleon
#

should this disclaimer be still up?

lilac stag
shrewd lantern
#

oh yeah that is a questionable choice node

#

"would you rather haste or crit"

#

But I mean here's my hot take

plush roost
#

⚠️ WARNING SIGNS⚠️

shrewd lantern
#

shuriken tornado is a dogshit ability

#

and needs to be removed

swift tinsel
#

based af take

#

ice cold

lilac stag
#

buffs to BP, nerfs to tier set we are never using. on god we just getting trolled

hazy breach
#

Bro thats the coldest take there is

plush roost
#

I like tornado

#

makes me go brrr

swift tinsel
#

removed and yeeted into the abyss

hazy breach
#

They should make it passive like they did with bonespike and er

lilac stag
shrewd lantern
#

They could have just made your next 4 finishers refund but i guess that would conflict with shadowcraft

plush roost
swift tinsel
#

have it stack like that legendary but instead of adding damage it adds storms

bleak night
#

Salmon gang rise

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker icon susge

lilac stag
bleak night
#

No allegiances to any spec color

vestal escarp
#

outlaw deathstalker

warm marlin
#

I have allegiance to not playing assa

plush roost
hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

blue name exclusively unless I wanna mix it up on reclears

vestal escarp
#

imagine having to build to 7 and getting forced to press dispatch during subterfuge

plush roost
#

but neverlacky

vestal escarp
#

fatebound sub

#

deal fate works with sht

#

sign me up

#

CB now works with 2 evis

#

but 0 aoe support

swift tinsel
#

tails would buff our baseline which wouldn't be bad

shrewd lantern
#

Fatebound assa just felt like

#

they threw it in last minute

hazy breach
#

Fatebound was like 3 weeks before alpha ended

swift tinsel
#

same with sub deathstalker

hazy breach
#

Deathstalker was literal last week

warm marlin
#

trickster was based around feint until like a month before

swift tinsel
#

"hey should marks be stacking this much?"

warm marlin
#

wait im sensing a trend

plush roost
#

DS was cool when you could use dn ontop of a stacked mark for double procs

#

fuck you echoing reprimand

shrewd lantern
#

I feel like one of the few people

#

who liked ER

#

as an ability

plush roost
#

i liked it before they "fixed it" to work with DS

swift tinsel
#

it was okay but I like supercharger wayyyyyy more

shrewd lantern
#

i also like how they brought back the cov ability no one liked

#

for all 3 specs

#

aka sepsis

swift tinsel
#

don't let dino see that

#

ahaha

alpine wraith
#

it is not like i loved sepsis

#

they also did ER dirty

#

and just slamming sepsis as a CHOICE node with inev

#

was offensive

#

same as MFD with deeper

swift tinsel
#

yeah that one I'll never get

alpine wraith
#

they knew they were going to delete it

lilac stag
shrewd lantern
#

They put sepsis as a choice node for outlaw

#

with underhanded

#

didnt they

alpine wraith
#

also it didnt have any of the cov of cool conduits things it had

#

and also nerfed rotten anyway

shrewd lantern
#

flag without lashing scars

alpine wraith
#

so was DoA

shrewd lantern
#

never felt great

alpine wraith
#

same thing

#

or obedience

#

imagine if we had obedience with our CP gen now

swift tinsel
#

even more cdr

alpine wraith
#

flag to 45 secs

#

BRRRRRRRR

shrewd lantern
#

well technically they changed flag to be mastery instead of haste

#

but yeah

alpine wraith
#

that was a good change yea

swift tinsel
#

know them though it would make it so you're still holding everything at weird times to try and get 3 cdr abilities to line up lol

alpine wraith
#

ok now time to timestamp this 25 min video zzzzz

shrewd lantern
#

imagine if flag just gave haste

swift tinsel
#

and still did the same piss damage it does now

shrewd lantern
#

yeah atp idk why its not just baked into sb

swift tinsel
#

preaching to the choir

#

24 second buff

#

instead of adding dmg to blades

alpine wraith
#

no the full guide

#

just recorded it

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

tornado now is a cdr farmer

#

and rupture spreader

void ocean
#

disgusting

alpine wraith
#

watch everyone first week using it before cds

#

and wondering wtf

#

shadowcraft JUST PROCCED

void ocean
#

was about to ask, is that gonna be our opener now on a pack

alpine wraith
#

just lost 14 cps babyy

alpine wraith
#

then you can choose to dance twice or once depending on pack hp

#

then from then on it is to get ruptures and also cdr

remote eagle
#

what is the dps loss if not speccing tornado?

void ocean
#

42

hazy breach
#

Not big

remote eagle
#

thank god

plush roost
#

Tornado is also kinda lit

#

when youre on a naked dance

#

with no symbols

#

if yknow ruptures are all out and its like 15 seconds on cd on pull

#

sometimes slam that shit in a dnace and go brrr

vale pine
#

tornado is a filler, its still not bad

naive zodiac
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
vestal escarp
#

🌪️ peepoClapCrap

alpine wraith
#

!wa

grand wyvern
#

how do we use tornado? just press on CD in aoe outside dance?

mystic veldt
#

are crits per hit or per ability ?

#

like if something hits multiple targets will it crit on all or just on some

alpine wraith
#

it goes per hit

#

so every hit of evis can crit on main hit and/or shadowed

#

same with coup and sec tech unless CB

#

oh and bp

alpine wraith
vale pine
mystic veldt
#

Atrophic Poison over Numbing ye ?

#

would be my instinct for open pvp

#

i mean probably people use slow

alpine wraith
#

on pvp you use crippling

mystic veldt
#

but dunno

vale pine
#

wound for pvp

#

iirc

alpine wraith
#

wound is the lethal poison

mystic veldt
#

i moustly want the crit chance after it lol

alpine wraith
#

the utility is crippling

mystic veldt
#

but im level 40 so got some time

#

till pvp is a thing

#

i can sign up but i assume there are not many lvl 40s doing pvp

alpine wraith
#

there are people doing bgs at all levels kinda

#

some like to lvl that way

#

but it wont be pretty as a rogue

#

let me tell you

mystic veldt
#

oh i will suck no matter when i start lol

alpine wraith
#

ok guide is up now time to rest

mystic veldt
#

but i gotta say the class got way better with more crit and point generation

#

the early levels where kinda slow

alpine wraith
#

early levels is why rogue is super unpopular

#

and blizz has done nothing in 10 years so

lilac stag
#

You could make an argument they haven’t done much of anything with 2/3 of it at max level as well

lucid jackal
#

Rogue has been unpopular for decades. Idk if it's just the leveling experience

#

Decade*

lilac stag
#

it’s a combo

lucid jackal
#

A decade

lilac stag
#

Visuals suck

#

Leveling sucks

lucid jackal
#

Did it suck in cata?

lilac stag
#

It’s complicated for most players

mystic veldt
#

i dunno i like the visuals

lilac stag
#

solo experience is trash

mystic veldt
#

as long as dmg pops up im happy

lilac stag
mystic veldt
#

im fine with not everyone being rouge

lilac stag
#

There’s a difference between not everyone being a class and underplayed to the levels the class is at.

lucid jackal
#

But it was unpopular in cata too

#

And probably even before then

mystic veldt
alpine wraith
#

rogue was unpopular forever after classic where everyone took 2 months to level

#

in tbc it was kinda funny

lilac stag
mystic veldt
alpine wraith
#

but wotlk ahead it was fine for a bit then cata made it weird to lvl again

upbeat oracle
#

daggers>every other weapons ingame

lucid jackal
#

I think rogue has just been unpopular for a long, long time. Idk if it's anything about visuals, or the leveling experience or anything

#

Rogue is just an unpopular archetype in general

alpine wraith
#

likely a combination

grand wyvern
#

my theory is rogue was the edgy class, then dh came to be

alpine wraith
#

plus people liking other classes better

lucid jackal
lilac stag
#

Vanilla was awful to level as a rogue. Warrior as well. PvP made it worth. The game shifted. Now what matters isn’t addressed when before you still had outside enjoyment.

#

Wotlk was dk arena god mode and rogue disappeared

alpine wraith
#

rogue was also very cool with its thematic things in pve

#

you had lockpicking sapping blinding long stuns

mystic veldt
#

i just like the come from stealth fantsy and making lots of crits plop onto the screen

#

like this as well

lilac stag
#

legion I don’t think did any favors

mystic veldt
#

i constantly play burst classes

#

for that single reason

alpine wraith
#

i legit despised legion for a bit

lucid jackal
#

Rogues population has been low for years idk

alpine wraith
#

had to play shadowpriest first tier

lucid jackal
#

I don't think a literally any modern thing caused this

alpine wraith
#

then second one i was a glorified healbot

lilac stag
#

I mean it just keeps dropping off

#

It’s cumulative at this point

lucid jackal
#

Well there's more total classes in the game

mystic veldt
#

i think its as well that a class with a tight window just punishes you for messing up

lucid jackal
#

And 2 of them are the edgy classes that take from rogues lol

upbeat oracle
#

dont need rerollers

alpine wraith
#

other archetypes are way cooler

#

most of the time

#

because pvp has to be "balanced" for competitive you cant assasinate people as you used to

lilac stag
#

DH has been very polarizing but idk. DK has a solid base.

General consensus for rogue from guildies that have tried it. Too much work for too little reward. The theme is just bland.

alpine wraith
#

and pve is long form

#

so you also cant assasinate there

#

we are a weird class thematically now

lilac stag
#

the one with severe adhd loves outlaw.

alpine wraith
#

most rogue games also lean a lot onto ranged and mid range things like throwing weps or bow/xbow

#

and you have hunters

#

and cant make a throwing spec

#

because that would be ranged

lilac stag
#

but is amazing on dev

alpine wraith
#

and become insta mandatory

lucid jackal
#

Most ppl I hear just say "I don't like energy"

#

Lol

grand wyvern
#

literally every other class copied energy and combo points

mystic veldt
lucid jackal
#

There's like 3 energy classes in the game

#

Feral ww and rogue

maiden oar
#

but like blade dance

#

very fast stab guy

lilac stag
#

our most popular spec is a “dot management” dracthyr_shrug spec and dot management as melee needs a certain mental

alpine wraith
#

blade dance and throw glaive are cool yea

grand wyvern
#

i am scared of purple dh stealing from us

lilac stag
#

little do they know you just press envenom

alpine wraith
#

im sad every day assa dots do no dmg

#

envenom zzzzzzzzzzzz

lucid jackal
#

Yeah but what's the solution then? Just streamline rogue in a way that makes it popular but kills everything that makes it special rn?

alpine wraith
#

same with feral

lucid jackal
#

Somethings always gonna be unpopular idk why that affects me much

mystic veldt
#

i like being unpopular

#

its fun

#

imo

maiden oar
swift tinsel
#

There’s ways to do it that don’t kill the uniqueness

brisk onyx
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

But I don’t trust blizzards track record

alpine wraith
#

well at least sub got some uniqueness back

#

that we lost from S2

hazy breach
#

I think assa could benefit from something that requires pooling energy in some form like the 4p from amirdrassil

upbeat oracle
#

idk guys ur dooming, out of 3 tiers i was forced to play priest cuz rogue spot was taken in 2 of them

alpine wraith
#

we lean more into burst now

hazy breach
#

But i like the ebb and flow of subs energy

alpine wraith
#

sub has some cool mechanics

#

we just feel

#

unfinished

#

like as if someone ran out of time

#

SEVERAL times

maiden oar
lucid jackal
#

Why do u keep saying this like sub in s2 wasn't abt burst

hazy breach
#

Unpolished ye, but the core is solid and fun

alpine wraith
#

it is still is about burst we just got to feel the real one then changed back to a more baseline vers

swift tinsel
#

I’d legit take a polished sub over any other spec in the game ez

alpine wraith
#

nothing wrong about current one

mystic veldt
#

dunno i think it needs to be kinda hard because a class that comes from stealth bursts you down cant be free

alpine wraith
#

just tier set is there and strong

#

but we dont interact with it any way

#

it is like DS

#

it is just dmg here and ther and there

#

and annoying DN fuck you

#

i did like when trinkets or sets changed rotation quite a bit

#

now trinkets are so weak

mystic veldt
#

like i just think sub cant be a good PvE spec by virtue of what its supposed to be

alpine wraith
#

no cool weapons either

hazy breach
#

And like I think singletarget is very close to or it is the best iteration of sub ive played

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

we could use 10x more SFX work on our abilities

bleak night
#

wait what

alpine wraith
#

i will pay for it

lucid jackal
#

U think if they reworked stealth modifiers ppl would play rogue more..?

alpine wraith
#

send me the bill

lilac stag
#

I think stealth confuses the fuck out of majority of the players.

upbeat oracle
#

whats so confusing about it

maiden oar
#

i just wish my stabs looked cooler

lucid jackal
#

I think genuinely no new player gives a fuck about stealth modifiers in that way lol

maiden oar
#

but not like crazy ffxiv animation

alpine wraith
#

i wish my finishers looked cool

haughty mural
#

What if unseen blade gets benefits from strike/bs enhancing talents

runic trail
#

At least the class being unpopular means the discord is slightly easier to follow, so.... silver linings! (I have no clue what the other discords are like but I assume they're busier)

maiden oar
#

just a little something extra

alpine wraith
#

instead of me doing a swirl

#

like a ballerina

lilac stag
#

why do I press backstab in “dance” wait is dance stealth? Why doesn’t this work in dance (leech in stealth). Yeah not confusing at all

swift tinsel
#

If FFXIV animations are a 10 then sub could use some that are like a 7-8

grand wyvern
#

assa is gonna be fotm, brace urself

warm marlin
runic trail
lucid jackal
#

"this leech talent doesn't work I'm rerolling"

maiden oar
#

i like the visual identity of dfo rogue if anyone played that game

#

it should be little less flashy in wow ofc but

upbeat oracle
#

who cares leech

#

huh

maiden oar
#

being fast knife guy is cool

swift tinsel
#

Fast knife guy with updated visuals similar to LA Reaper

lilac stag
#

You or I may not care. Leveling that’s a shit talent / lack of qol

swift tinsel
#

But less krpg

maiden oar
#

yea hunger reaper is cool

upbeat oracle
#

im confused hows stealth confusing. u either in it or not.

maiden oar
#

i think the lunar tripods are a little too on the side of ffxiv visuals

runic trail
maiden oar
#

man i miss lost ark

runic trail
#

(You do the hokey kokey)

lilac stag
#

Look at overall. Just not your hardcore ce life

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it just got over the top

rustic raven
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

Scrapper was super fun

coarse hound
swift tinsel
#

Think I played that most

maiden oar
#

i quit lost ark because t4 reworked eo soulfist

#

i miss swift eo with 50s h3 cooldown

alpine wraith
#

but i dont think many people quit over those

#

it is mostly they feel the class is bland

#

or dont like the thematic and that is fine

maiden oar
#

but yea i agree w u haptics i think la reaper is good inspiration for rogue visual identity

#

but a little more toned down

swift tinsel
#

Idk talking to other people they don’t enjoy how bland it looks to play so even visuals would go a really long way

mystic veldt
#

i honestly dont care about having super flashy spells ^^

sharp lake
#

i think it sucks that when we press shadow dance it just tints us purple seems like a missed opportunity

swift tinsel
#

Streamlining some of the cd stuff would be big too

alpine wraith
#

yea like people think eyecandy does not do much but i swear if our abilities made explosions or cool animations

alpine wraith
#

they could be the same

#

MORE people would play it

runic trail
lucid jackal
#

My argument is that this whole idea of "blandness and bad leveling and flavor and clunky and blah blah" must have been true since literally wrath of the lich King since the classes popularity has been on the bottom for an insane amount of time now. Most of this games lifecycle.

lilac stag
#

you’re not trying to attract us to play it. You’re trying to get others to play and stick with it.

alpine wraith
#

and it is also the easiest ever to reroll

clever delta
#

sub no pins 🙁

alpine wraith
#

when it took 6 months to even get attuned

clever delta
#

always behind on those

alpine wraith
#

what pins nothing much changed

swift tinsel
#

What’s there to pin

alpine wraith
#

guides are up tho

lilac stag
#

I was drawn to the scoundrel description. Invested so much time from the get go. Now I’m just stuck with this toon.

alpine wraith
#

but we dont pin those

#

here

maiden oar
#

i dont want to see that happen to rogue

alpine wraith
#

that was sub in legion for a while

lilac stag
#

How new people to the game find rogue enjoying idk

alpine wraith
#

someone took the crazy pill

#

until fuu saved us in Tomb

maiden oar
#

idk either but its my favorite and 11.1 was my first tier raiding in wow

#

cool class

mystic veldt
swift tinsel
#

I like really big damage and being flexible with it so sub is my jam

grand wyvern
swift tinsel
#

Being a boss killer is great

mystic veldt
maiden oar
#

theres always going to be a least popular class and thats ok

#

but we should still look cooler

hazy breach
runic trail
#

The popularity thing doesn't bother me too much, I like rogue, this is fine.

runic trail
lilac stag
#

I’ve got good memories on this char. Alts while fun don’t have that same attachment. If I rolled warrior in vanilla I’d likely still be on it.

My favorite alt has been fdk. It has always scratched the itch for me, but I hated unholy and never wanted to get forced into it.

#

Visually and thematic frost has been dracthyr_love

#

gameplay has been shit at times

maiden oar
#

ive been leveling alts and its crazy how much more visually appealing every other class is

lilac stag

But that’s all classes

swift tinsel
#

Losing cleaving strikes was such a good change this ptr

#

Holy shit

maiden oar
#

i still would rather play rogue but i wish i looked half as cool as every other character on my account

swift tinsel
#

The aoe gameplay is leagues ahead of where it was

lilac stag
#

Why would I choose outlaw over that?

shadow snow
lilac stag
#

to open locked boxes?

bleak night
#

shaman vfx goes so hard

swift tinsel
#

Esp if you go with the ascendence glyph and look like The Nameless King throwing wind blasts

bleak night
#

its insane

maiden oar
#

and i think outlaws rotation is more fun but thats personal preference

#

the guns funny too

swift tinsel
#

Ngl the visuals/sfx of enh played a bit part in playing it this season

shadow snow
#

The sounds are cool

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Wish totemic wasn’t in the gutter bc it’s stellar too in those departments

maiden oar
#

seeing my guy pull out a gun makes me smile

#

new killing spree animation is funnier too

grand wyvern

#

I’d love to see outlaw turn into Gunslinger midrange

maiden oar
swift tinsel
#

It’s straight up gun kata from Equilibrium

maiden oar
lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

6 combo points -> 6 bullets

maiden oar
#

and its not bc i love guns so much

grand wyvern
alpine wraith
#

tbh the sound engineer that used the sound for Ace

swift tinsel
#

The framework is there for a ranged gunslinger

alpine wraith
#

was a genius

#

it just sounds so good

swift tinsel

lucid jackal

Some things appeal to different ppl

alpine wraith
#

tbh rogue in legion had a lot of cool shit

maiden oar
#

yeah it was love at first sight for me too

#

and i started way later

alpine wraith
#

artifact weapons were a shame they didnt iterate into

swift tinsel
#

I dabbled in rogue here and there but didn’t get really into it until later SL

warm marlin
#

i played rogue a bit in wotlk as a kid and came back to wow in df and liked it again

alpine wraith
#

i wish we had that and the azeroth neck

swift tinsel
#

Played a lotttttt of dps dk though from WotLK until now

#

Some hpal

maiden oar
#

i tried to play it in df prepatch and quit and went back to ff after a few weeks and then i came back and was drawn to it a second time

lilac stag
maiden oar
#

and that time it stuck

#

but both times it was an obvious decision to go rogue

lilac stag
#

I still miss bandits guile gaming. pepe_chad

bleak night
#

i started playing rogue in bfa because i was weird and liked warmode

#

and somehow i got fucking stuck here

maiden oar
#

im going to like warmode once conquest is farmable

#

pvp trinket so cool...

grand wyvern
#

i started playing rogue cause they removed nether portal lock lol

shrewd wren
#

bfa azerite armor, yuge garrotes. absolutely broken haha fun times

lilac stag
#

We don’t discuss azerite traits in #subtlety

#

PTSD triggering

native zodiac
#

azerite traits killed sub for 2 years

warm marlin
#

for those curious btw

#

pvp trinket 📉

native zodiac
#

what itemlvl is that

warm marlin
#

both are 704

#

its in the full bis set otherwise so it might be mildly cooked

#

but i would rather farm eco dome than pvp

native zodiac
#

ye same

#

eco dome should be easy to farm

#

its like 6 item lootpool

serene notch
#

Imagine playing sub rouge and touching pvp

maiden oar
#

but idk how easy that is to do

#

and if you arent alliance also maybe grim

warm marlin
#

eco dome has the benefit of also filling vault/getting other loot pieces tho

maiden oar
#

thats true

plush roost
#

You also get the benefit of a high verse champ track neck

warm marlin
#

and cresties

plush roost
#

If u pvp

hazy breach
#

Well its either or right

plush roost
#

That shits real good week 1-2

clever delta
#

"fuu

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
maiden oar
hazy breach
#

Or well, you can just farm more conquest ig

#

But both costs conquest

maiden oar
#

oh ok

plush roost
#

Then again, floodgate has a verse mast neck

#

Could farm floodyG as well

hazy breach
#

Or priory

plush roost
#

Ye

warm marlin
#

will probably be doing 30 keys week1 anyway

plush roost
#

30? Weak

bleak night
#

only 30 garf_sit

warm marlin
#

and who am i kidding im ripping heroic prism out of first split run garf

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

hoc -> prism

plush roost
#

Im gonna beg

#

Plsplsplspslspslspls prism

maiden oar
#

yeah i am optimistic about prism

plush roost
#

Then itll drop on my dh run

warm marlin
#

i will NOT be on the last boss of the tier with a pvp trinket this time

#

i will NOT

plush roost
#

!!!!

bleak night
#

lmao

maiden oar
#

i think everyone will fight over forge

hazy breach
#

Our tier is good too though, otherwise id just go "fuck everything else just give me prism"

maiden oar
#

and i will sneak in and get prism

hazy breach
bleak night
#

fuck everyone else, give me tier and prism

hazy breach
#

Then theyll realize people are using prism for amps n stuff garf_sit

maiden oar
bleak night
#

sub rogues get tier and prism early>do well on early logs>get nerfed immediately after rwf

warm marlin
plush roost
#

As is tradition

hazy breach

#

Shoutout outlaw heroic week season 1

maiden oar
#

ok yea ill edit it to put the % in there

warm marlin
plush roost
#

We do raw gain

native zodiac
#

same its usually raw number

hazy breach
#

It doesnt really matter as theyre usually similar

plush roost
#

The only time we didnt go by raw gain was transmitter -> hoc

maiden oar
#

or wowhead trinket tier list

#

prism for me...

plush roost
#

Gearing bases on how funny you were on raid team keyspam night

#

Thats the play

bleak night
#

gearing based on not doing keys and so everything is a larger upgrade for you

warm marlin
#

i actually lost my hoc because i put it in void storage guys, unrelated prism is a 500 gorbillion dps gain over my 626 skardyns grace

ripe flame
vestal escarp
#

now you can tell loot council that single piece of loot is worth 28% dps on you char

hazy breach
#

Just be the loot council guys

hazy breach
#

No

fierce elm

!wa

hazy breach
#

And even if we found that to be a gain we likely wouldnt put it in by default since its not feasible for most players to do consistently

maiden oar
#

oh ok

topaz crow
#

does anyone know what crafted dagger is best next season and also can i buy mats for it now?

lilac stag
#

The one with agility

#

you can buy mats now

stable plume
#

Doesn’t a good agi dagger drop from mythic boss 2? Might not be worth to craft if that’s the case

bleak night
#

then you just move it to offhand

hazy breach
#

Depends on if you expect the second boss to just instantly fall over, but ye worst case you still use it just in offhand

tepid trellis
#

its gonna be more expensive to upgrade that dagger

#

than to craft one

lucid jackal
#

Unless raid literally drops 2 on week 1 it'll almost Lwyas be better to just craft

warm marlin
stable plume
#

I thought dagger starts 2/6?

warm marlin
#

60 then same as craft

tepid trellis
#

thats why u craft a dagger, then slap the one that dropped into off hand and take it from there

#

who knows u might get a myth track tier as well

warm marlin
#

but offhand is a trash slot to have spent the crests on. im not saying its a great idea to wait but it is a gain if even 1 drops

tepid trellis
#

you arent spending crests

#

is what im saying

#

u take the dropped one and put into off hand

stable plume
#

Yeah I’m just sweaty trying to minmax iLVL per gilded until crest cap is removed it’s a bad habit

warm marlin
#

yes, and then technically you've spent 60 crests crafting an offhand that you could have spent on a tier slot

tepid trellis
#

last tier

#

i checked that for fun

bleak night
#

im not getting a dagger drop for 5 weeks at least so im crafting regardless

tepid trellis
#

it was still more dps for me to send crests into a craft

steel jolt
#

i'm the only rogue in my raid

tepid trellis
#

with the dagger dropping from rik week 1

steel jolt
#

ez daggers

bleak night
#

plus if you remotely plan on playing assa you'll want it anyway

bleak night
#

mythical creatures

warm marlin
#

idk i got a rik dagger week1 after crafting, obviously not gonna happen often but it felt bad having a shit crafted offhand dagger instead of boots or something

tepid trellis
#

it wont be an off hand for a bit, dunno how other guilds do it but we do not send crests untill we need to

stable plume
#

Yeah that’s my philosophy as well ^ every iLVL matters more for end bosses than earlier ones

tepid trellis
#

only way to get fucked on dagger craft is if two daggers drops

hazy breach
#

Not wrong, but also wiping to early (ie 4thish) bosses because youre missing damage from not having sent crests suck

tepid trellis
#

keep in mind getting embel ontop of dagger craft

#

is also another 1% or so

stable plume
#

I’m SO IMPATIENT WAITING FOR NEW CONTENT RN

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

only time we were allowed to send crests was if it was a complete nobrainer

lilac stag
#

we’re rolling a 29 person roster at this point

tepid trellis
#

think we are 23-24

bleak night
tepid trellis
#

(think i dont actually know)

lilac stag
#

there’s 3 of us that are pretty much the melee core

#

The rest can fight it out

hazy breach
#

I dont think that massive amount of greed is necessary, as long as youre not sending mythic crests into hc items you cant really fuck it up

#

(its also really dumb that runed doesnt go up to atleast 1 myth)

tepid trellis
#

hey we did rik week one without tiersets

warm marlin
#

i might wait until 1st clear of 2nd boss since i doubt its gonna be a gear check at all and im only rogue

tepid trellis
#

we were gamin

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

ya especially when sub was one of the best specs to deal with them

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Ye

lilac stag
#

Our 2h users are “gimped” already

#

until 2nd spare or a drop

Imagine being a caster and not being able to craft because you want to wait for the set from the raid pu_kek

what a guy

tepid trellis

tbf dont take vault until after reclear, u never know what drops

warm marlin

for a socket is crazy

tepid trellis

but like on purpose taking something worse cuz "then i get it from raid"

#

fck off

#

hope they gave them to someone else

#

ong

hazy breach
#

He held onto the vault, he didnt take the socket immediately

#

But yes somebody else got them

scarlet radish
#

Still like, your obv progging if others don’t have tier. The fuck is 1 gem gonna do to your dps

bleak night
#

+200 ez

hazy breach
#

Its hc > m upgrade, not no tier

#

But yes still

warm marlin
#

ye i understand it sorta if you're trying to get double m tier or something, still wack but for a socket??

#

devious work

scarlet radish
#

Just really says he ain’t a team player, homies there raiding for himself kekw

#

Despite what all the sims are showing for next season, what’s the word going around for sub in raid? Casual addict reckoned it’s real good damage wise in m+ atm , but hard to get a gauge on raid

hazy breach
#

Should be fine, expecting middle of the packish

graceful osprey

we are so back ladies and gentlemen

stoic reef

why does it say that on 4 or more targets we are BPing with trickster

#

Is this a change?

#

(11.2 guide)

tepid trellis
#

it was 5 before

#

now 4

stoic reef
#

well thats new ig

#

well this means ive been playing wrong ig

#

I've only been bping on 7 or more targets

tepid trellis
#

it was changed mid tier to use a different way to determine when to bp

#

(targets with FW up on them)

stoic reef
#

whats FW (dont know acronyms)

tepid trellis
#

find weakness

stoic reef
#

oh

serene notch
#

Are we BP-ing during blades in 11.2, if so at what target counts @tepid trellis ?

tepid trellis
#

a bit tbd, 2+ atm which i dont trust to be the case so id say 3+

serene notch
#

This is wild to me…

tepid trellis

big strike nimble dmg

#

ong

serene notch
#

“Nimble Flurry now deals a matching percent of increased damage while Shadow Blades is active (20% PvE; 10% PvP).” Shouldn’t this make evis better significantly during blades?

tepid trellis
#

they also nerfed

#

nimble

#

at the same time

#

so according to my math it shouldve stayed the same during blades

night sparrow
#

that's sad 🙁

tepid trellis
#

but numbers said 2+ but i think something is up with some implementation

warm marlin
night sparrow
#

and so far what is your pro PoV about what spec is gonna be the best ?

serene notch
#

Whichever is most fun for you

tepid trellis
night sparrow
#

In m+ i like both sin and sub

#

i'll see depending on boss sin is cool with adds for funnel

tepid trellis
#

depends on the dungeon

night sparrow
#

alright

warm marlin
tepid trellis
hazy breach
#

Its moreso the sim implementation that might be sus, no reason why the target count should be going down in blades

#

But well see

tepid trellis
#

the math

#

do not be mathin

serene notch
#

I would like to live in a world where BP never gets pressed during blades.

tepid trellis
#

hard agree

#

but alas

#

better nerf nimble

Ok everyone after 20 years of assa rogue I think this patch is the day when I go sub! Yay

For Finality do i basically do the same one twice ?

awwww its mop

why you break my heart

tepid trellis

its just a passive

#

nothing you play around

valid yoke
#

tbh I have no idea how rogue is looking compared to other classes but hopefully decent 🙂

#

I love the class I just want it to have love :c

mystic veldt
#

if the order matters basically

signal moth
#

How dif is sub from DF S1? The last time I clicked any buttons on it lol

tepid trellis
#

they are 3 individual buffs

#

and they just go back and forth like that

#

0-20-0-20-0-20 or w/e the % is for finality

mystic veldt
#

ok thanks

valid yoke
#

So I'm hoping some more knowledged people can help me out here cos naturally i've done the worse thing possible and googled shit. I saw an icy veins page that said assa is still ahead in raid? Any insight on this? really hoping for a sub tier tbh

hazy breach
#

If you like sub play sub

#

Also idk thats probably from s2

mystic veldt

and in AA

Omega has a lot of damage amps

#

Sub with prism probably gonna go pretty hard

short radish
#

the real answer is - no one knows exactly which is stronger. sims only go as far as your browser.

until raid comes out no one can say for certain who is stronger

valid yoke
short radish
#

well its a brand new season

#

you go ilvl > everything else

valid yoke
#

Yea, I need to build the habit of simming as well I guess

#

instead of just guessing game

#

I'm like, completely new to char optimisation so im very much just learning lol

short radish
#

all good

#

just remember stats matter much less than you think

valid yoke
#

fairs i probably care way too much about stats

mystic veldt
#

not everyone needs to sim individually if competent people are showing what they get

#

then again its fun

valid yoke
#

true haha

#

Its mainly because im trying to transition from an assa one trick into all three rogue specs but I'm kinda struggling on how to juggle them lol. Outlaw is bottom prio for me but sub and assa I think im kinda just jumbling myself up

#

and overthinking shit lol

mystic veldt
#

i just decided Sub was the fantasy i want and ill try to get as good at that as i can sure sometimes it will get buffed or nerfed but whatever

#

for me the fun part is sneaking around and blowing people up lol

short radish
#

and youre better off being a OTP assi

#

than an average sub/outlaw player

actually that is kind of hype
