ive never seen a large queue when i used to have premium

#

max was like 20 idk

warm marlin
#

the traffic right on reset is like 100x any other time of the week

vale pine
#

^

#

reset and especially content release

#

like next tuesday

#

or wed

young mural
#

lol im fucked

#

gotta get my sub back up before next week

keen dome
#

The first vault opening after the first week of the season is always funny

vale pine
#

tho i don't think we reach a high this xpac

#

just simply because wow is in a dying state to word it more severe than it is

#

xpac releases just have he highest amount of players total

#

and it falls off for in between patches

keen dome
#

Seasonal decline

vale pine
#

yes

#

season 2, 3 and 4 is always less players

young mural
#

fuu, is it normal for shuriken tornado to sim 5% extra compared to replicating shadows on dslice? does dslice have bigger pulls?

vale pine
#

it is why blizz wants to move to a 1 year xpac release cycle

young mural
#

yes to both? lol

vale pine
#

but 2% i think was the diffrence when i did a sim

keen dome
vale pine
#

tornado just fits better with the fight style

young mural
#

i have old and new builds

#

with and without tornado

young mural
#

thats what i was wondering

vale pine
#

but you can switch between replicating/tornado depending on dungeon

#

more aoe heavy -> tornado

#

cleave -> replicating

young mural
#

ah gotcha

#

ill do that

vale pine
#

i did switch wowhead/pin talent to replicating because a lot of pulls will be small first weeks

young mural
#

ill play around with it

vale pine
young mural
#

im interested in some rotational change, cant stand doing it all the exact same way for 2 patches

vale pine
#

Blizz basically learned from mobile games, and implemented retention mechanism in the game

wild vine

e.g. i know a few people who play ffo

btw, any new delve trinkets this season? didnt see anyone talking about that

wild vine

#

Housing is gonna be huge

young mural
#

oh damn no more delve trinkets?

#

nvm

#

im going insane

wild vine
bleak night
#

access will probably just be from org/stormwind

keen dome
#

Elwynn / Durotar, yeah

#

My guess is.. Legion Remix in December. Pre-patch late January. late March expansion

bleak night
#

everyone has said very good things about housing so im expecting it to be terrible

young mural
#

but thats not going to happen

keen dome

# vale pine Blizz basically learned from mobile games, and implemented retention mechanism i...

basically its like this:

  • What was previously one content release is now split out or time gated(e.g. weekly caps), so there is longer time you need to stay with the game to get the same benefits.
  • Content releases are spaced out so you always have a reason to stay subscribed, couple it with bonus rewards if you buy for multiple months in advanced.
  • The trading post is basically a "battle pass" light, you need to log in and play at least a few hours each month to complete
  • They removed 1 month game time option, so you need to buy 2 months --- which is roughly the time between content releases.
    Blizz on top off that inreased the baseline game price which is now 90$ per xpac instead of 60$ by adding perks like early access and they iirc try to bring xpac cycles down to 12-16 months instead of 2 years.
wild vine
young mural
#

oh wow, I hadnt ever thought about trading post as a battle pass

#

thats literally it

#

thats where they got the idea from

keen dome
keen dome
#

Because it's a 'perk' fo your subscription. It's a retention method, but a good way of designing one.

young mural
#

yhea agreed

keen dome
#

Because it's something you naturally complete, and is given as part of your natural subscription to the title instead of extra.

young mural
#

they need to do more positive incentives to keep a sub going, like the trading post and not timegate the fuck out of content

#

if thats their main goal

young mural
#

whats coming sooner, playable etherals or void DH omegalul

keen dome
#

But I think they're going to be careful and keep it to locations they'll never narratively impact. I.e., before TWW I'd have said: Dalaran would've been a great housing place.

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **You can stop using (non maintenance) finishers ~10 seconds before your 90 sec cooldowns come up.
  • Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use Shuriken Storm to not proc Unseen Blade before using your 2nd Coup.
  • Explanation: The Tier Set buff does not allow new applications of the Unseen Blades stacks, so any Unseen Blades procs between the 2 Coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
sour forum
#

less bosses

vale pine
#

think it makes sense

sour forum
#

less tiers per expac (but lets say they release sooner...-ish)

vale pine
#

if they want to shorten release cycles

#

like e.g. lets say they aim for 14 months cycles

#

they likely miss because thats a drastic reduction

#

but we possibly still see 16-18 months

#

instead of up to 24

wild vine
vale pine
#

There is a limit of the amount of content blizz can produce and it showed every time they tried to increase it and failed

sour forum
#

my bet is, this tier last 6 months like the others, so we'll be done in february, then queue the fated season for another 3-4 months, release midnight early summer

vale pine
#

so there needs to be some cuts

#

but shortening a xpac, means more money

#

because you get the 90$/60$ more frequently

#

even tho the content amount is the same

sour forum
#

i dont mind at this point in my life if they ask for more money from me, its ok as long as i get the stuff i want

#

but i feel like im getting less stuff (that i care about)

bleak night
#

ngl ive still never gotten the hatred of fated seasons

#

like i get if you just dont like the gimmick

#

but we arent losing a tier to fated, the time fated has taken up would always just have been literally nothing

sour forum
#

dungeons are now 3 bosses most of the time, raids are 8 bosses, its true they made 2 new dungeons but the mega dungeons got scraped for this expansion

keen dome
vale pine
#

well the problem with fated is, you essentially have no content for a certain period

bleak night
#

people seem to think that we get fated instead of a season 4

wild vine
bleak night
vale pine
#

the argument of "its better than nothing" would hold up if the baseline assumption is no content

wild vine
#

There should imo be no fated at all

bleak night
#

end of expansion lulls happen every single time

#

the fact is no content

vale pine
#

yes

#

but the baseline

#

is 4 raids

#

not 3

#

so reducing content amount

bleak night
#

but it would legit just be 4 raid tiers and then fated

vale pine
#

and then replacing it with fated

sour forum
#

my main issue is 8 bosses per raid

bleak night
#

4 tiers wasnt replaced by fated, it was replaced by blizzard shortening expansion cycles

vale pine
#

but it wasn't

bleak night
#

(and shadowlands/covid bullshit)

vale pine
bleak night
#

im saying

keen dome
#

Last time we got 4 tiers was BfA.

warm marlin
#

sotfo stemDespair

vale pine
#

both xpacs with fated ended up with 3 tiers

bleak night
#

the decision to stop getting 4 tiers

keen dome
#

3 tiers has been the norm for three expansions now

wild vine
bleak night
#

was because of shortening the time between expansion launches

sour forum
#

3 tiers is here to stay, but how about 10 bosses per raid, even if they are filler

bleak night
#

this is a seperate issue to fated

sour forum
#

or do something like 8-9-10

keen dome
#

Fated was an experiment to try and fill the dead time when the majority of people are working on a new expansion, and there's not enough time for a fresh season. I think Remix and TURBO BOOST will be their new go-to

#

I would like different boss amounts.

lyric cargo
#

Hey guy I might have gotten skiped as there was wall of new comments kekdog I have a question again how should I use Shuriken Tornado ? I dont quite get it as I am new to sub πŸ˜„ do we use it with SoD or when we low on CB as filler in aoe ? Thanks again dracthyr_love

bleak night
#

i mean even if they kept going with this "optional" (but not actually optional) boss scheme

#

give us a couple extra optional bosses

#

if they want 8 to stay as the normal raid

keen dome
bleak night
#

but 10 boss raids would definitely be nice

sour forum
#

i think ppl like 8, because prog is shorter and a lot more guilds can get CE so in a sense "every1 is happy"

vale pine
#

idk

keen dome
#

I think it's relative, honestly. 8 is probably the easy formula they've found to design consistent bosses with.

vale pine
#

i think the biggest problem of raiding is raid size

wild vine
keen dome
vale pine
#

having to find 20 resonable players is not easy

bleak night
keen dome
#

Even if it's old content, it's old enough to be fun, and also a power trip.

sour forum
#

nah, honestly its what makes wow unique, if they went to 10 they'd ruin it imo (speaking of raid size)

bleak night
#

obviously i could be wrong

#

but i think they just hard force midnight out instead

keen dome
#

We'll know later this month.

bleak night
#

but then that goes back to fated not being the reason we dont get 4 tiers

#

but release schedule

keen dome
#

We're gonan get a launch window for Midnight (March 2026 quote meeee)

vale pine
keen dome
#

So I agree: Bring back 25-man raiding

wild vine
keen dome
vale pine
#

well it had both options

sour forum
#

like how would u do silken court dispels on top of boss with 10 people?

#

make just 2 dispels?

vale pine
#

higher amount of players

bleak night
#

i think its hard to compare raid sizes when theres so much else thats fundamentally different with ffxiv and wow raiding

keen dome
#

Ye, agreed.

bleak night
#

i think 10m coming back could work fine in wow

#

im not particularly invested one way or another in it

sour forum
#

ff raiding is weird anyway. its a game of 1 shots, be where u are supposed to be or die

keen dome
#

It's a very chorographed dance

sour forum
#

well yea

vale pine
#

means 2 things:

  1. You can assign more players to do certain things as they are a relative small part of the total
  2. You can not design things tightly as the group size and encounter space is limited
#

also final fantasy class design is a lot less interessting

#

which is the biggest diffrence

keen dome
#

It's incredibly bland, haha

sour forum
#

ill tell u what it is

#

boring

keen dome
#

It's really interesting how 14's design is just stagnating to an extreme

bleak night
#

i think the class design is fine fundamentally, they just made the decision to hard shoehorn every single class into a 2m burst window

#

and its severely limiting what they can do

keen dome
#

Yep

bleak night
#

but they refuse to fix it

sour forum
#

i only played it cuz some friends did aswell, after spending god knows how long in that shit MSQ land (even if u rush and skip everything getting to "current content" nowadays takes like 100 hours)

keen dome
#

Also the quite comical button bloat for bloats sake.

wild vine
#

Imo 16 player for example could work, even if it turns out more difficult than 20, it would atleast let you try at all, but 20 definitely needs to be the most advantageous size

#

Since thats the intended group size

#

It atleast means you dont need to cancel a raid if some are missing or smth

keen dome
#

I think it'd help solve that issue too

sour forum
#

the issue with 20 players is that is restrictive and u gotta follow a schedule, making it unaccesible

vale pine
#

flex would be best

#

10+ players

#

and give out a unqiue achivement if you do it with 20

sour forum
wild vine
#

Flex 16+ wouldve basically been my idea

vale pine
#

hof also only 20

Same issues

bleak night
#

10m with raid buffs would be very funny actually

keen dome
wild vine
vale pine
#

that this problem has a solution already

sour forum
#

im actually fine with raid buffs

vale pine
#

and it was in the game

#

in the form of scrolls/drums

sour forum
#

we had a few shit tiers as rogue where we wouldnt get in

#

and i yoinked a spot cuz i give the funny dmg reduction

keen dome
#

Yeah. Scrolls / Drums were great.

wild vine
sour forum
#

i think having 1 of each class in raid is fine dracthyr_shrug

wild vine
#

But atleast not buff based

sour forum
#

there are still like 6-8 flex spots

vale pine
bleak night
#

or this hypothetical 10m

vale pine
#

its just that some raid buffs are a lot better than others

sour forum
#

yea but 10 man will be the same

#

if they add scrolls to 10 man, class stacking gallore

bleak night
#

i mean currently you couldnt even fit every class into 10m

sour forum
#

if they keep raid buffs, a few classes have guaranteed spot

leaden prairie
#

I'm still torn on raid buffs

#

On one hand it's bad

sour forum
#

or all of em

leaden prairie
#

On the other it allows for 2 comps to coexist in m+ kinda?

sour forum
#

allows classes to not be benched if they have a crappy tuned patch dracthyr_shrug let the OTPs play πŸ˜‚

vale pine
leaden prairie
vale pine
#

a lot of things don't work in certain content types

sour forum
#

yea thats a good point, m+ should just have scrolls

vale pine
#

or dissable raid buffs outside of raid

#

which would also be fine

keen dome
#

Add Barry the Buff next to every keystone. When the keystone is in, he goes "It's buffin' time!" and gives you every raid buff for the duration of that M+

#

he's a kul tiran

vale pine
#

XD

keen dome
#

i've solved it

sour forum
#

u did

#

now go apply to a blizz job to actually implement it

keen dome
#

They couldn't afford my genius

#

Or stupidity

sour forum
#

there was a story about a dude, that applied to a game studio, got the job, fixed a bug that annoyed him for years then quit (idk if its confirmed real, but i'd like to think it is)

tribal blade
#

maybe just have every key passively give you 50% effect of every raid buff while it's active

#

and if you have someone who brings that buff you can overide that one to 100%

keen dome
#

Sorry it has to include a kul tiran in a kilt doing /flex called Barry the Buff otherwise it won't work

bleak night
#

just make keys 20m then you have room for everyone

!cheese

wicked joltBOT
#

Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Symbols of Death before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.

  • Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press symbols early enough to have full charges on pull.
    NOT Recommended - Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully.
  • Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
    Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than 1% damage gain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.

It's all about CD management. Making sure you don't overuse Shadowdance or Symbols outside of your big CDs (Shadow Blades and Flagellation)

#

You've come to the right place if you're confused πŸ™‚

#

We're all confused

keen dome
#

It's the best spec becuse it's purple

vale pine
keen dome
#

I also agree: it's not difficult. It's just got a learning curve and has some complexities. Ask questions, don't be afraid to be confused.

#

the most annoying thing for me so far has been tracking Flawless Form and Fazed, I've kinda just been assuming they're always up

bright briar
#

get you a WA and plater to track stuff

keen dome
#

!wa

knotty depot
#

I'm trying to get used to the cases where we BP now

#

ANd my head hurts everytime haha

keen dome
#

All of these are fantastic choices to use, or grab stuff from. Incredibly work on them all

slate lantern
#

Also zacs is pretty gud too (dirty outlaw player)

tacit maple
#

Ya I gotta pick a better WA suite, I've tried Quazii, Naowh and Luxthos...but they dont track it super well

#

I need something to scream at me haha

knotty depot
#

oh the Find Weakness tracker WA looks perfect actually

slate lantern
keen dome
#

Using one made by Rogues for Rogues is good 'cos it helps cover the wierd quirks of our spec

knotty depot
#

I do like Luxthos but I make some changes on it usually

carmine portal
#

Luxthos' weakauras are very good to vulture from. I use his resource bars/rune/combopoint bars for every spec

bright briar
#

well gentlemen whats the best WA and plater for rogue then to help this man track

knotty depot
#

I really like his CP and shadow techniques tracker

tacit maple
#

surely its Fuus right? hes the like, THE guy

keen dome
#

Fuu's is very good

#

The best thing is they're all excellent so you can use the one that appeals to you the most, imo.

slate lantern
#

LE has a banger pack too

#

Just try out all of the ones in the WA command above and see which you like most

remote shuttle
#

@leaden prairie i'm still using Ur sub Wa pack, Is It up also for s3?

tacit maple
#

oh LE's looks good, it only has all the rotational stuff. I like that, since I track defensives/utility on a sidebar next to party frames

hazy breach
lilac stag
hazy breach
#

And for fazed specifically only if you have coup ready and fazed isnt up

#

Since thats the only time it matters if you have fazed or not

glacial hinge
keen dome
#

LE's is excellent and her WA work is absolutely incredible.

#

If I am ever confused on how to do something, I check how she's done it 'cos it's very clear.

glacial hinge
#

Amen to that, never felt so confortable on a pack

hazy breach
#

A lot of general WA packs track a bunch of unnecessary shit for sub that makes the spec seem way harder to play ye

knotty depot
#

Also I need to bitch once again on thistle tea

#

Why can't we have a choice node to not have it automatically be used

hazy breach
#

Macro it to dance and forget it exists

knotty depot
#

Yeah on sub it's... okay-ish but I tend to pop it by accident in between CDs

#

and it feels so bad

#

On Sin I find it even worse.

dire pulsar
#

i got fragUI, and the rogue ones seems pretty good πŸ™‚

tribal blade
#

plus playing sin you're not really spamming buttons in ST anyways

dire pulsar
#

Do we have a spreadsheet with all % bonus for 2p and 4p, i see some talking about before but cant find precise info

leaden prairie
#

Maybe I'm unaware of something tho

hazy breach
#

Its like 10% for 2p, 30% for 2+4p

leaden prairie
#

I updated the ub weak aura

hazy breach
#

For sub

crystal bone
#

30% is nutty

void ocean
crystal bone
quasi wedge
#

guys i can't stealth wth
like not even clicking from spellbook or typing /cast stealth working
if I change to assa or outlaw i can

#

tried dying and loging out

cursive island
#

yo guy's i got a last concern about rotation, we never use SS during SD eaven with 8+ targets??

vale pine
#

yes

#

always strike

crystal bone
#

storm only once for FW i believe

cursive island
#

is there a reason or just not worth dps wise

vale pine
#

strike does more damage ^^

#

and it procs unseen blades

cursive island
#

okay thanks

lilac stag
#

maybe make things less daunting for new to spec

keen dome

That would be pretty helpful

Its always gonna be up for kb/dm anyway because the cd lines up

Sub is every other cd which is a bit unfortunate but it is what it is

If sectech wasnt soft capped at 5 we would play cb everywhere anyway

sec tech is so silly

I hope they won’t nerf our tier set

wait until they see our 3 min limit break

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

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.

trail bane

with that macro,

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea

can i unbind thistle tea and just forget about it?

lime obsidian
#

!wa

mental saffron
#

What is the dmg loss of CB over Tea for M+

hazy breach
#

Like 1% diff

#

Slightly less

mental saffron
#

CB does feel a lot better to use, especially if you run the Ritual Forge trinket

tepid trellis
#

i hear it feels the exact same if you just crit your sectech Cheesin

hazy breach
#

Idk why the forge trinket would have any impact, but sure

alpine wraith
#

with more crit CB is less valued

#

so just crit dog

#

it will hit 20% harder with tea too

lilac stag
#

juiced always feels better peophammer

mental saffron
#

Cause it gives 40k Agi when you pop it decaying over time

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

But its already decayed past what prism would give you when youre using cb

#

As its like 9-10s into blades

lilac stag
#

are we really going to let maths get in the way of feels this early into the tier kekw

mental saffron
#

I would just slap it on the first stech and call it a day and enjoy the crit

lilac stag
#

and youre supposed to slap it on the second sectech

#

youre weakining your feels and losing out on the bigger feels

But is it fun

lilac stag

if you're gonna pump, fucking pump my man

You are not having forge atm

Oh no

hazy breach

what if you play double on use tho since prism is 3min now

lilac stag
hazy breach

Why have prism+passive give you 42k agi when you can have forge giving you decaying 40k

tepid trellis
leaden prairie
#

no!

mental saffron

Cause you get it every dance

tepid trellis

YES!

More good feels

tepid trellis

this when they ask if its better

hazy breach
#

Idk cant really imagine any sub rogue getting forge any time soon anyway

tepid trellis
#

prolly not

leaden prairie
hazy breach
#

Since 90% of other specs want it

tepid trellis
#

prism tho

#

INSTA mine

lilac stag
#

pay for it πŸ˜„

hazy breach
#

Nobody wants prism it seems

#

So ig theyll buff prism

#

Indirect sub buff πŸ“ˆ

leaden prairie
#

I hope they just buff the damage part of it

#

Outlaw trinket fr fr

hazy breach
#

Very possible

tepid trellis
#

i would love to read today/tmrw that sub gets a 5% buff before raid opens

#

that would go hard

lilac stag
#

mmhm

leaden prairie
#

It's funny tho

hazy breach
#

Eviscerate buffs

leaden prairie
#

Prism is another sub trinket

#

That I will use all season on outlaw in keys

#

So cool

#

Thank you sub people

lilac stag
#

you would need to DM realz and ask if he remembers its a spec

hazy breach
#

Very cool

leaden prairie
#

Gearing my m+ spec

hazy breach
#

Its a cooldown for outlaw atleast

lilac stag
#

do they need to cancle this one too?

hazy breach
#

And double down on the fact that youre completely out of the game if you happen to die once

haughty mural
#

It has a dmg proc and gives you agility
What’s to hate about it as outlaw ?

hazy breach
#

Losing ar and all of your prism stacks

#

Might aswell go next

Killing spree gone

just try to wipe the raid at that point

At least are tanky with all this vers

leaden prairie

sub has good vibes tho, outlaw does not @hazy breach

swift tinsel

lol kyveza tombstones you when you die

shadow snow

Both have good vibes i think

tepid trellis
#

wrong

lilac stag
#

wrong

leaden prairie
#

sub has 0 aura

short aurora
#

Aswell as playerbase

tepid trellis
#

coming from the flatline spec

lilac stag
#

outlaw has wish we could cancel this aura, literally in KS

tepid trellis
#

thats quite comical

shadow snow
#

Tbh i like outlaw more cause it feels like spamming my keyboard like a maniac with all this haste meanwhile sub is more chill

leaden prairie
#

hm

shadow snow

Also sound wise outlaw feels like we are really shooting people

leaden prairie

i wanna say something about haste but i cba rn

Outlaw is going to look crazy on the cleave bosses in raid

its finna beat your ass

Hehe

I know lol

Brew big bonkermen

leaden prairie

none of the monks i was watching on ptr were doing nearly as much as monksea tho

#

you guys aint ready

crystal bone
#

put me in coach

leaden prairie
#

if they dont nerf brew i think outlaw is under tank on like half the packs and bosses

short aurora
#

Looks like mop balancing

alpine wraith
#

mop was funny for monks

leaden prairie
#

I have seen people say that this ptr looked balanced

alpine wraith
#

super op then nerfed into the nether

leaden prairie

But idk

#

I don't think it is omegalul

leaden prairie
#

They deserve

tepid trellis
leaden prairie

Ye

short aurora

Fdk players

For sure

leaden prairie

And people don't know about assa yet

They ain't ready

mental saffron

Assa is going to rip the charts

tepid trellis
#

its like the worst ptr cycle we have had

near rivet
#

Hey, idk if this has been talked about, but this funny dagger from hallowfall assault have cantrip, thats not even included in sims, or i cant read the html report kek. Anyway sim says its an +1% due to raw ilvl, and cantrip feels to be like 0.3 - 0.5% of dmg

leaden prairie
#

I think the funniest thing to me is how dks played frost the whole ptr

#

And then the last week

#

A few played unholy

#

And oh surprise

hazy breach
leaden prairie
#

Unnohly is even more broken

#

Kekw

Good to know

tepid trellis
hazy breach
#

I find the people saying "you must have arcane the funnel is too good" on the ptr to be quite funny when assa gaps them in a lot of situations

tepid trellis
#

is quite something

leaden prairie
#

assa does arcane funnel in cd

#

while out of cd

#

im not even capping

#

in cds it deos 4 times arcane funnel

lilac stag
#

Assa funnel kinda hitting zul levels

leaden prairie
#

Ok can we talk about something btw

#

How come funnel is free now

#

Like

lilac stag
#

no combo for sub though. omegalul

leaden prairie
#

What happened to sacrificing AOE

#

To do funnel

hazy breach
#

Idk everybody cleaves for free too

leaden prairie
#

Why do all these specs just AOE pad

#

And get funnel out of it

hazy breach
#

Every spec has bladeflurry

leaden prairie
#

I feel like outlaw got robbed of its niche I'm ngl CAUGHT

#

We used to be able to do st while aoing and it was unique

hazy breach
#

Yep

leaden prairie
#

Now every body just funnel while doing full AOE

lilac stag
#

well when you give assa everything and priorities the funnel shocker it’s good

alpine wraith
#

welcome to uncreative work

#

where everyone does everything but if you are too good you get maced

hazy breach
#

Cant balance niches so we give everybody everything Surebud

lilac stag
#

turn on one button and every spec is the same

#

Xbox here we come

lilac stag
#

the devs don’t care about outlaw or sub

#

Er sub

hazy breach
leaden prairie
#

Assa is crazy I'm ngl

#

They managed to slowly give it everything

swift tinsel
#

and dreadblades

shadow snow
lilac stag
#

it wasn’t slow. It was quick by ignoring the other two specs during the rework

swift tinsel
#

speaking of things stolen

tepid trellis
leaden prairie
#

Like they got bf, then they got uncapped aoez then their cds finally did AOE, then they got more AOE and auto bleeds and finally they added some funnel on top of it

#

Outlaw got

Let me check

alpine wraith

they made sure deep cuts was not a thing

!coup

wicked joltBOT

Coup de Grace Optimizations:

  • **Number 1: **You can stop using (non maintenance) finishers ~10 seconds before your 90 sec cooldowns come up.
  • Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use Shuriken Storm to not proc Unseen Blade before using your 2nd Coup.
  • Explanation: The Tier Set buff does not allow new applications of the Unseen Blades stacks, so any Unseen Blades procs between the 2 Coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.
leaden prairie
#

Ye the uptime meme got worse

#

And hm

#

Ye that's it

alpine wraith
#

dont forget nerfing it every time it was about to be good in its niche

leaden prairie
#

They gave us pc ye

lilac stag
leaden prairie
#

The low target cleave talent

#

And everytime pc is good

alpine wraith
#

and nerfed it every time

leaden prairie
#

They nerf it or they nerf our AOE

#

Like they prenerfed our AOE this tier again

leaden prairie
#

So result is we do 0 AOE in keys

#

But pc is still pc so it will blast the cleave in raid

lilac stag
#

Nearly everyone in that channel and one or two in here.

leaden prairie
#

Wouldn't be surprised if we get nerfed again cause of pc I'm ngl

tepid trellis

Execute… oh wait

alpine wraith

singular and DN being bugged

tepid trellis
#

DS working well with sub-NOT ON MY WATCH yoink

leaden prairie
#

they should give assa dust

#

so it trully has everyhing

patent crystal
#

Maybe another buff

alpine wraith
#

they made sure their dots spread to 3 targets with good coverage

leaden prairie
#

I mean you meme but

#

Assa is getting buffed lol

alpine wraith
#

and ours to 2 targets in 5y

lilac stag
#

negative bugs getting fixed? Oh wait. Assa exclusive.

alpine wraith
#

and spatter goes from the player and also the mob

#

casual double the area

lilac stag
#

Splatter goes through walls. kekdog

leaden prairie
#

I'm actually willing to bet quite a lot on something like 5% aura for SIN *and an AOE nerf for outlaw in the first 2/3 weeks

#

Sub probably nothing tho as usual

alpine wraith
#

sub will just crater after 1 month

keen dome
#

I could see outlaw getting something simply 'cos of the council fight haha

alpine wraith
#

but people will enjoy being top 5 for a bit on amp bosses

you need 6 seconds out of combat to activate TFD- sub (suprised picachu face)
just press stealth lmao- Assa TANK WONT LET ME STEALTH

ok. Taking dogs out. Let me know when we get our BP buff and assa gets another 4% aura buff

you havent seen

the cleave bosses

oh no

leaden prairie
#

dude

#

on ptr outlaw was demolishing the adds

keen dome
#

Is outlaw gonna be the pad kings

hazy breach
#

Sub getting aura buff or even better an eviscerate buff would go so hard

leaden prairie
#

its litteraly the perfect outlaw fight on these 2 fights

#

you were 10/20% ahead of second guy

keen dome
#

lmao, hell yeah

leaden prairie
#

and since then outlaw got about 20% buffs

keen dome
#

lmfao

lilac stag
#

We have too much burst kekw

keen dome
#

Which two fights is this, i need to make a note to invite like sixteen outlaw rogues

leaden prairie
#

One fight is like

#

Uh

shadow snow
#

Evis buff would actually help with st dmg

leaden prairie
#

You break things to spawn adds

#

And the adds are damage amped

lilac stag
#

waits for heroic parses to nerf evicerate dmg

leaden prairie
#

100%

#

So it's Perma 3 targets

#

Damaged amped

keen dome
#

Wild

patent crystal
#

Give funnel back

chrome palm
#

Soulbinder?

#

Didn’t know adds were amped

leaden prairie
#

And the other fight is the one where you drop adds behind an AOE and they slowly walk toward boss

keen dome
#

Bring back Shuriken Comboooo

leaden prairie
#

That fight is Perma 4 targets cleave

chrome palm
#

That’s five fights with amp πŸ‘€

lilac stag
#

assa eating good

leaden prairie
#

idk why they are dmaage amped im ngl

chrome palm
#

Surely one spawn lines up with 1:30s

leaden prairie
#

But it's litteraly shitter adds that do nothing but get cleaned by outlaw

#

Every like 30/40s

#

Idk

hazy breach
chrome palm

You just timed 2nd sec tech to add spawn

#

Like gally

And yoink the amp

they'll make gloomblade baselien for sub and it'll be fun

tepid trellis

they will add a new finisher

patent crystal

They get s3 df tierset as a passive

tepid trellis

that for the first 6 months

wont work with shadowed finishers

and leave it at that

keen dome

just the first?

tepid trellis

yeh after that it will work with shadowed

but then they will add a tierset

where it wont work all season

cuz reasons

keen dome

Ah, of course

swift tinsel

If they don't remove FW going into Midnight imma drive to Irvine and shit in front of Blizz HQ every day until they do
