soul hunters is still a big questionmark in my mind

tepid trellis
#

sub just deals better with add spawns

vale pine
#

!guide all guides are equally good

wicked joltBOT

#

assa on fractilius, maybe loomithar, rest sub imo

tepid trellis
#

almost the same single target

#

while being burstier

#

Dw 1 aura buff for sin and no questions left

wild vine
#

Out of protest I will play sub on every fb sin fight and ds sin on every other

vale pine
#

Sub is in the end rly good tbh

bleak night
#

Try protesting now nerd

#

Im not suicidal

tepid trellis
#

all that really matters anyway is gonna be what you play on the last 2

Any outlaw chances for raid?

vale pine
#

last tier it was clearly a win for sin

#

because the end boss was mugzee

short radish
bleak night
#

I played sub on mugzee garf_sit

#

Just get to the fight so late it doesn't matter what you play

short radish
#

yeah exactly

vale pine
#

this tier we have a good chance to see play

short radish
tepid trellis
#

only fight i see being assa, is fractilus

tepid trellis
#

and even then it requires your assa set to be better than the sub set

vale pine
#

first 2 ?

tepid trellis
#

and if you are gearing thats not always possible

Sub season best season. Ethereal season, too, so it's fitting. Purple stonks.

!design

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

keen dome
#

That's how it be

wicked joltBOT

# vale pine interessting

first boss has forced downtime and lets be real is a hc boss, but the downtime should favor burst a bit more
as for 2nd boss lomithar it just depends how much value you can get from the dmg amp and how much there is a need for swapping to the orb

wild vine
keen dome
#

But the low is there so we get the high

#

If they buff the low they'll nerf the high

#

Personally I think they should buff the high more so I guess that means they disconnect us during the low or turn us into a statute or something.

stiff stirrup
#

I don’t see any more buffs for sub or assa

wild vine
keen dome
short radish
#

highs are only reserved for classes that benefit from PI

patent moss
#

so sub it is

bleak night
#

i always advocate for me to be given pi so no one feels like someone got an unfair advantage

bleak night
#

nah they'd get more out of it

vale pine
#

well you know

short radish
#

oh on mythic

#

when the wall comes through

vale pine
#

we had many fights a boss teleports away

open vortex
#

if you try to shadowstep through the wall it apparently kills you

vale pine
#

and if you used vanish-strike

#

you could, with correct timing

#

well follow the teleport

#

sooo

vale pine
carmine portal
#

Yeah I dont think it's about blink style abilities. I believe using the cloak gives you a buff that makes you immune

#

Because the cloak has a dash animation rather than an instant blink

short radish
#

yeah we've shadowstepped through mines and died on mugzee right?

rocky ocean
#

you also get debuffs from things like firebeams in mechagon

#

it's dumb that it's not a blink

alpine wraith
short radish
topaz egret
#

Shimmer/blink is also not a teleport

#

works the same way

#

if u check a wclogs replay you can see your character moving very fast

alpine wraith
#

yea there were some situations on halondrus

#

my man kush may remember

haughty mural
#

Ah I remember that
Thought that was a encounter specific bug back then

alpine wraith
#

it could also happen in painsmith

#

if you tried to blink through the spikes

rocky ocean
#

were they painful?

vale pine
#

you could step over them unless i missremember

#

step = shadowstep

alpine wraith
#

yea just blink had that problem sometimes

#

step was fine

loud brook
#

can i bind shadow dance with symbols of death

#

/cast shadow dance
/cast symbols of death

#

doesnt seem to work. and is there potential cases where this is a dps lost? i understand the part where I need some individual press of symbols of death, but I assume this is safe to be a shadow dance button

vale pine
#

you typically want dance and symbols on seperate binds

#

because of 90 second windows you dance back to back and might not want to symbols again early

loud brook
alpine wraith
#

you want to use symbols before or 1 finisher before sec tech

#

that can happen in the first dance even now with new 4p

#

so you would send a sec tech with no supercharger if you macroed it

short radish
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
```yaml
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use 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.

short radish
#

!symbols

#

!sod

wicked joltBOT
#

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

short radish
#

!dance

alpine wraith
#

and in ones that are not the pull ones you may use sec tech later on the second dance

#

not first 2 finishers

#

once again using sec tech without supercharger

loud brook
#

ya im too new for these sort of tips lol, im looking into it more. thx tho

rocky ocean
#

I changed like 3 guilds, and every sub player I encountered very often used sec tech as 3rd finisher

#

what's even funnier being a better rogue didn't help me stay in a guild

alpine wraith
#

dont worry asking is the beginning

haughty mural
#

Afaik you won’t press symbols and dance exactly together all the time

short radish
rocky ocean
short radish
#

oh theyre russian. say no more

frigid prawn
# alpine wraith not first 2 finishers

Actually why do we press symbols, after that a finisher and then sectec with only 1 supercharger. I thought 2 supercharger are just better? Or is it for danse macabre?

alpine wraith
#

sometimes you use symbols to get cdr to use sec tech next

#

actually quite often

keen dome
rocky ocean
#

rogue specs punish you more for not knowing things

#

sub is borderline unplayable if done intuitively

keen dome
#

Sub with a mace OH and not pushing shadow dance once. Then got annoyed at me when I suggested he use shadow dance. "I don't like that ability"

alpine wraith
#

ahahaha

#

that is the problem of big time welfare gear

#

you can be 680 and be clueless

keen dome
#

On the other hand that guy is living his best life playing the game the way he wants..

alpine wraith
#

but he is having fun for sure

rocky ocean
loud brook
keen dome
#

Yeah, Rogue is very knowledge dense.

wicked urchin
#

honestly i initially found it crazy how people considered sub difficult

alpine wraith
#

sub is not difficult just complicated

#

you do the same things every time

wicked urchin
#

but like juce said it’s just insanely punishing

alpine wraith
#

yep now at least people's brain only need to process some cdr

#

at most

keen dome
#

Yeah. Sub just requires knowledge and practice. It's confusing initially, and has some hard rules you gotta follow

haughty mural
#

As long time subbers we can always say how easy sub has become/ever was

grand wyvern
#

i am aso used to sub it feels easy, until i try other classes i have no muscle memory for and remember how hard it was

haughty mural
#

But it’s so unintuitive that newer people are often really lost

wicked urchin
#

i find sub way easier than assa

#

not saying i think assa is difficult

keen dome
#

I always feel like easy / difficult is too subjective to describe it.

wicked urchin
#

absolutely

haughty mural
keen dome
#

Complex spec with rules about pushing the fun buttons

alpine wraith
#

yea holding cds

#

and using them together

#

BUT NOT THAT ONE

#

NOT YET

#

wait

#

wait

#

now

keen dome
#

Precisely, haha

alpine wraith
#

GOOD JOB

#

me when coaching someone

keen dome
#

The CDR element, using the cooldowns at the right moment consistently and understanding how to have them up for the next one, too. Planning where and when to use them and shifting as needed. Understanding why we do X or Y in Y or X situation.

wicked urchin
#

when i started relearning sub last season i’d constantly use a dance charge when i shouldn’t and fuck myself

grand wyvern
#

it's particularly hard for sub to hold because you hit like a wet noodle so you feel like you have to press something

wicked urchin
#

especially if there was any downtime

keen dome
#

All the minutiae adding up

alpine wraith
#

wait until the wars for dry sec techs by calculating cdr for next dance begin

#

sometimes you can fit 1 or 2 dry sec techs

#

in a 90 s situation in between dances

wicked urchin
#

minmaxing sub was really fun though

keen dome
#

It is, I love it.

#

I legitimately enjoy the puzzle in M+ in a pug setting.

#

Figuing out the optimal time to go big and trying to figure out the tanks route beforehand

haughty mural
#

Yes

keen dome
#

And then despairing

wicked urchin
#

finding moments when you’d have to hold flag for a few seconds and then be able to comfortably be able to fit a CB sectech earlier

keen dome
#

Because he decided that it's time to pull 1 mob and then go afk

wicked urchin
#

rewarding

haughty mural
#

But still being super aggressive with cds in pug m+

keen dome
#

Yeah, haha

#

Being aggresive with CD's and then feeling amazing when it all lines up

grand wyvern
#

the best feeling is when you lined up every thing to blast and boss is next but the tank decides to pull another trash pack first +_+

keen dome
#

In that situation you are the tank.

#

It's time to pull the boss.

wicked urchin
#

i was disappointed with gally but it was super fun to optimize

grand wyvern
wicked urchin
#

i stopped playing sub in keys because of that

#

i’m very optimistic with this tier will play out

short radish
#

tbh

#

once sub makes sense

#

its kinda chill

wicked urchin
#

you just blast and afk

#

what’s more chill than that

short radish
#

yeah

#

you dont react to procs

alpine wraith
#

i think more than 1 keyboard somewhere has died to coup and shadowcraft refunds

#

and striking just after

keen dome
#

Haha

alpine wraith
#

i even had to refilm the opener on ptr many times because of lag

wicked urchin
wicked urchin
#

is there an optimal spell queue window for that?

#

I haven’t touched mine in forever

alpine wraith
#

there is no solution kinda

alpine wraith
#

because you would need to be spamming evis

#

i mean you can look at the sht stacks

#

and count every coup hit

haughty mural
#

But can’t do that every single time

#

Especially if other things are going on

wicked urchin
#

with a lower sqw you should be able to override it though no?

alpine wraith
#

well you will get used to spamming evis instead of strike in coups

#

then just use strike if last hit didnt proc shadowcraft

wicked urchin
#

yeah i do most of the time but it’s super annoying when you’re focusing on other things and it happens

#

i’m pretty sure with a low sqw you can override an accidental strike with an evis before the next global though

#

i might be wrong though

haughty mural
#

That’s one thing that would be awesome with midnight:
Coup one fucking hit

#

So you can avoid this stuff

grand wyvern
wicked urchin
grand wyvern
#

but i feel like dance has a queue when dance is in progress and you press dance slightly before it ends it will chain another one, am i tripping?

rocky ocean
alpine wraith
#

or use stealth at all

#

so yes you can spam dance and it will chain

cursive vapor
#

!prepull

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.
wicked urchin
#

i’m going to assume spell queue works with dance because if it didn’t and you pressed it 1ms before the first dance was finishing it wouldn’t trigger

#

it’s never really mattered for me though because i usually recast it in between a global

grand wyvern
#

i feel like it matters if you play the first dance and you press your second sec tec in your first dance, the shadow hits may not land in dance if you don't chain it

wicked urchin
vale pine
#

spell queue is only for gcd spells

#

as you need to be off the gcd to trigger them

wicked urchin
#

good to know

#

I was just thinking there might be a different queue window because i’ve pressed dance at the last few ms and had it still trigger but that’s probably just a feeling

grand wyvern
#

lag? 😄

wicked urchin
#

big thing in fps games with slow fire weapons where if you press early it’ll still register

#

definitely not lag

#

it’s common in all fps

can some1 explain why on 5target 3 min sometimes sim use evi sometimes black powder? what buff or debuff is active

hazy breach

Shadowcraft, a talent

#

Oh wait i cant read

#

4 find weaknesses up the threshold for BP

frigid prawn
hazy breach
#

No

alpine wraith
#

no you just go into dance immediately

#

because it is off gcd

stiff stirrup
#

Is there a wa to track how many targets have find weakness?

dire pulsar
#

What way the find weakness tracker should be used ? Evi one target without the buff if shown, and just BP if shown ? Sry if dumb but beginner here and i m kinda lost with all tracking needed in rogue. I m coming from dh, and dk tank main 🙂

alpine wraith
#

it shows which finisher to use

#

but idk if it was updated to new rules

#

you bp on 4 even with no fw conditions

dire pulsar
#

Also do we symbol + dance on cd ? just wait if big cd come soon ?

alpine wraith
#

you dont symbols and dance on cd no

#

it is a bit different think more about sec tech cooldown

#
  • having enough dance and SoD for flag window
dire pulsar
#

ok ok, so i do if Sectech is up, And if i have enought for cd right ? in cd its two dance + symbol correct ?

alpine wraith
#

most general things

#

but there are also good guides on wowhead etc. that explain it fully too

#

you sec tech on cd

#

and depending on flag SoD and dance you do one thing or another

#

and if flag is close you dont sec tech too

dire pulsar
#

ok ok, i have read the guide but kinda lost a bit. thanks for clarification.

alpine wraith
#

think fuu streamlined them a lot

knotty depot
#

yeah I see something diff in wowhead guide than I've seen here

#

which kinda left me even more confused haha

alpine wraith
#

not really think it was 4 targets you bp 3 in blades/FW or something

#

let me check

#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

yea 4 or more targets

#

that works the blades thing might be on some further optimizations

hazy breach
#

!wa

normal lake
#

okay so i use shadowstrike as combo builder in shadowdance and shuriken outside shadowdance, only use backstab as 1st combo builder in shadowdance? and just use fw tracker to find what finisher use ?

hazy breach
#

Yes

normal lake
#

damn I finally understood it xp

twin surge
#

When using Find weakness tracker sometimes shows flawless form icon.. what does it actually mean when its showing flawless form?

vale pine
#

you can just do 4+ targets instead of tracking find weakness

#

the diffrence is extremely small, and it might be easier

#

if you hit bp on 3 sometimes its also not bad while doing so

rocky ocean
#

Isn’t it practically more useful to eviscerate and kill big target

#

Talking about like 5 target pulls

wild vine
#

Oh no, the funnel propaganda

haughty mural
#

Sure if prio is needed do the prio

haughty mural
wild vine
#

Prio > overall is only useful if the group struggles because of exactly that one target

warm marlin
wild vine
warm marlin
#

if its very important obviously you can even continue eviscerating in large target pulls but you will do a lot more damage pressing bp

wild vine
#

Maybe not in dance, but all in all

rocky ocean
#

I think they should buff bp 1 more time to eliminate that aspect

we might see sub played in the wfr tho

fiery grove
vale pine
#

yes

#

subtlety is typically good early on

#

but also if you look over the entire tier

#

barely played

wicked urchin
#

surely barrier to entry plays a part in that too

#

even when it’s mid pack it has low player counts

#

compared to other specs

#

hey all. wish u happy gearing and alot of fun in s3 / manaforge 🙂

a question aside:
in big pulls. do we want to stack danse macabre before going into shuriken storm + black powder? :X i was playing around and it feels like but i can be totally wrong

fiery grove
#

I guess it makes sense why it would be good, great burst damage even without heaps of gear would be a no brainer to play sub in the race for a boss that needs burst

there are a lot of other claims about simplicity/fun/etc

#

but when looking at actual play rate data

#

i could not find any corellation

hazy breach
vale pine
#

frost dk is "fun"

#

because it is overtuned

fiery grove
#

I honestly preferred shadow dust version of sub

vale pine
#

people lvoe playing whats overtuned

#

turns out if you do 20%+ more than everyone else, thats a lot more exciting than whatever rotation there is

which tbf isn’t usually the case

vale pine
#

but you are guaranteed to be #1 on the meter

wheat edge
#

I saw a youtube short where the guy said that people do not care about spec design at all, so if blizzard made a change to where you gain 5% DPS by chopping off your hand in the middle of the rotation, the only thing players would do is ask "Left or right?"

vale pine
#

its still better than a carefully crafted rotation with exciting gameplay

#

because output is the main factor people look at

wicked urchin
#

people just wanna blast

grand wyvern
#

tuning is important but i wish people wouldn't call for spec reworks just because tuning is bad

vale pine
#

it is why you saw assassiantion so strong in m+ since s3/4 DF

#

its aoe and funnel is extremely high tuned

rapid forum
#

just like ret

wicked urchin
#

i haven’t looked at it but i’m gonna guess that even at subs stongest points the player count didn’t reflect that compared to other classes

#

post zul i guess? i didn’t play then

vale pine
#

so getting good output is easy, its easy and other specs don't compete even if they play perfect

i’m sure somehow it comes from the fact that we’ve been pretty left behind when it comes to blizzard but all of the wow theorycrafters here are game changers for all of us

it was always fun to have some more fun things other specs did not have

this is my fuu and whispyr simp post

Omfg, it's a guild called idiot, I am the hater

sorry

i got a response from a top 150 but i was too late

Cuz I genuinely thought he had good vibes, so no idea why people were hating, it's just me who cant read

wicked urchin
#

oh well

#

they told me to reach out again after they’re on farm so optimistic about next season

empty canyon
#

also yes rogue discord is the best, it's the only one I check just for entertainment

wicked urchin
#

the very best

fiery grove
#

Haha yeah that’s right I watched his video

#

Gave me hope in one day raiding mythic lol

#

I’d probably have to learn to play assassin tho sadly

wicked urchin
#

getting into mythic is just about guild hopping

#

which is hard

#

low rank guilds spec does not matter at all if they’re even remotely close

fiery grove
#

Good point

#

I guess you don’t need to be in the top 200 guilds to raid mythic do you

Or am I wrong

i started shadowlands having never step foot in mythic raid

i got CE the same tier

#

let me tell you

#

in raid there is no fight rn where you would take WM

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

unless mythic dimensius is like 12 mins

lilac stag
#

and there pure pstchwerk

alpine wraith
#

and even then on most fights you end up using storm

#

and even using storm once or twice

#

already tanks WM

vale pine
scenic oxide
lilac stag
#

we’re using storm with tier

#

movement

alpine wraith
#

so even less of WM value

lilac stag
#

It all tanks WM

alpine wraith
#

basically ignore wm

#

we all wm

Hi ppl, i want to ask to you how you manage the lost rating on secondary stats if you cap one of the stats

lilac stag
#

You don’t

#

Just sim top gear

hazy breach
#

As long as you dont put haste on the cloak it doesnt particularly matter

lyric violet
#

So avoid haste e simply sim what remain

#

Can someone enlighten me and settle a debate, do sub rogues specifically really give af about heroism

#

Like it’s not a nothing buff

#

But is it make or break for the class in certain scenarios

hollow spear
#

It's a slight dps gain, but very minor compared to what other classes get from it

fiery grove
#

Yeah thats the way I thought about it

hollow spear
#

You'd never plan your lust around a sub rogue

fiery grove
#

Thanks heaps

void hound

warm marlin
#

BL is a bit less of a gain than a power potion is in a 40 second sim

#

Not great

lilac stag
#

he’s also not pushing keys. copium

lilac stag
fiery grove
#

So to fully sum it all up a group would never plan BL around a sub rogue but would a sub rogue ever plan the cd’s around a Bl

#

I assume maybe for a fight like the last boss of rookery

warm marlin
#

you are probably better off just casting things when they come up than holding for lust

#

on a fight like last rookery you hold for the damage amp anyway

fiery grove
#

Yeah thought so

warm marlin
#

if lust happens to overlap its cool but nbd

lilac stag
#

otherwise you focus on you

warm marlin
#

but if you start a big pack in a dungeon and lust is coming up in 10 seconds, you will probably get more value casting asap while all the mobs are still alive and starting your cooldown than holding for lust

#

(unless you're spreading ruptures first or whatever but thats besides the point)

@vale pine ey sorry for ping, I have a question:
do you have a build that works best for open world?
I don't really do mythic or raid, but I enjoy best open world and world pvp situations...
do you have a build + hero talents for that? 😮

iron whale
tight monolith
#

he sorts out the wowhead

tight monolith

iron whale

🫡

vale pine
#

open world is fairly chill so you don't need much and you can change more towards your preferences

iron whale
#

I tried to personally make my own but idk how much they're good honestly

fiery grove
rapid torrent
#

Hi all sorry if this has been asked a bunch but just wanted to clarify since I've seen the FW tracker thrown around for choosing when to BP. Per the wowhead guide. ot sounds like we dont need to worry about how many targets have FW anymore and just send BP based on target count?

vale pine
#

trickster is prefered

#

it has also shorter cooldowns

iron whale
#

ok!

#

I just like edgy, and DEATHSTALKER feels way edgier :x

vale pine
#

something like this

left jungle
#

This season, subt uses thistle?

vale pine
#

i like to take stillshroud

alpine wraith
#

on m+ yes

vale pine
#

and the lower shroud cooldown

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

dont forget nightrunner

vale pine
#

because you can use shroud as a mobility cooldown in solo play

tribal blade
#

that do very little

alpine wraith
#

that is 20% ms!

#

smh

vale pine
tribal blade
#

also not talenting DM is kinda crazy

alpine wraith
#

master of speed brrrr

iron whale
iron whale
#

ah dense macabre

tribal blade
#

oh i didn't even notice it's DS too haha

#

that makes it even more cursed

wheat edge
#

Dont they play DS in pvp?

tribal blade
#

maybe, but this is a PVE channel

#

i assume that's for PVE

hollow spear
#

I am quite dense, but is that macabre?

vale pine
#

*restealths

wheat edge
vale pine
#

so you get tfd a lot

#

especially when moving between mobs

tribal blade
vale pine
#

wm is very weak

young mural
#

what about embellishments now, are they less than 0.5% already? lmao

tribal blade
#

honestly if you wanna do open world efficiently go bleed sin

#

it's WAY better in open world than sub

#

use 3 gcds out of stealth and you've basically killed the mob

vale pine
#

they are low impact but you still want them

#

if you want to craft fast, weapon with lense is probably the best option

#

if your guild raids mythic, you can in theory wait for first 2 mythic kills before crafting

tribal blade
#

my arms warr alt had a 681 ascendance axe

#

i got a champ track wep and upgraded it to 691

vale pine
#

ascendance is fine too

tribal blade
#

was +2.2% dps

vale pine
#

ye weapon dps is huge

tribal blade
#

oh yeah

#

and i guess embels are just that low impact now

#

i didn't expect the sim to be that big a number

#

with an embel wep

#

btw i've done some testing with the contract and WQs

young mural
tribal blade
#

you can get kareshi rep from literally all WQs in TWW

young mural
#

because we already have a LOT of secondary stats

tribal blade
#

and then you can continue getting contract rep on your alt on kareshi WQs

#

but not non-karesh WQs

wheat edge
#

yeah u can degen ur way to like 11 renown or something

wild vine
wheat edge
#

theres some pvp weekly quest that u can repeat aswell for more rep

tribal blade
#

i only have 1 alt i'm playing so there's no way i'm doing more than that

Do we have enough deal volume? I think we need more

wild vine
tribal blade
#

you're talking to a high key pusher

#

this is like childsplay compared to pugging title

empty canyon
vale pine
empty canyon
vale pine

but ascendence is better on assassiantion

wild vine
vale pine
#

and the diffrence is low

#

sooo

#

if you want to switch between specs

tribal blade
vale pine
#

its not a bad craft

#

also, you can recraft any time

tribal blade

but calm down

How is calling myself a certified idiot going 0-100

What more stats should I bring this season compared to season2? Critical?

Thank you

tribal blade
#

i assume at this point we're reaching high amounts of DR on mast and vers

keen dome
#

Asking for myself

empty canyon
#

but you do pretty much play an outlaw rogue, using a sword and a gun

tribal blade
#

i can help you with that

keen dome
#

haha

chrome palm
vale pine
#

(just shows how stats are distributed on all 3 specs, you still need to sim for your ideal setup)

chrome palm

Doesn’t Dr only start at 30%?

tribal blade

honestly can't remember the number

vale pine

i think esp for tea talented the robot will start really wanting crit

i think i gotta take the title

DS3 is an all time great, so is DS1 but it is a lot less approachable to some people and the bosses haven’t aged as well

empty canyon
#

I still think it's a masterpiece, its just not for me

carmine portal
wheat edge
#

respectable

carmine portal
#

true respect for ppl who understand something is good just not for them

wheat edge
#

ER was my first souls game tho and then I went back and played everything

empty canyon
#

Same with the new zelda's, I think I need a more curated experience, and the older souls games were just that tiny bit more streamlined where I really enjoyed it

carmine portal
#

me? i don't like souls games at all but their world-wide beloved-ness is because they are works of art both in story and gameplay

empty canyon
#

But for me Sekiro and BB was like, the natural development of the game for how I played the game, so seeing Elden Ring go back to previous designs just put me off a bit. which I am not sure I ever let go off, also BB setting is the shit

wheat edge
#

sadly I do not have a ps4/ps5 so have yet to play BB, but from the story videos I've seen I love that kinda stuff

vale pine
#

because two of the tier set pieces have it

#

and you can't get the 4 set bonus without 4 set pieces

#

but outside of that, pmuch any of the other 3 stats is good

carmine portal
#

this is probably a moronic question but

#

how soon should we be using our first catalyst? hero+ items?

#

I never usually think about it but this season im actually playing from the start so

vale pine
#

it rly depends on your guild

empty canyon
#

It's literally story telling translating into gameplay

tribal blade
vale pine
#

^

empty canyon
#

and that gets me going

short radish
#

!up

vale pine
#

but if you start mythic late

carmine portal
#

right-o guess I wont be using it for a while lol

vale pine
#

you might want to use it on heric piece

#

because at the time you get mythic loot

tribal blade
#

yeah getting 4set asap is big

vale pine
#

you likely have charges again

left jungle
#

Tier 3+@ is pretty good

vale pine
#

tier 2p is 10%
tier 2p + 4p is 30%

#

so yes

carmine portal
#

Sweet-o nice, prayge for me then bcus I'm A. Guildless B. going to be doing M+ mostly

vale pine
#

tier good

#

we like tier

#

makes us do big damage

carmine portal
#

Big damage in terms of Sub or big damage in terms of all DPS specs 😉

vale pine
#

i don't have enough information for that

#

like... idk if frost dk was nerfed enough

#

because it might be that they are still a bit op

#

and if the best class/spec is what we compare to

#

well "its not frost dk" is the best answer then

carmine portal
#

worst case scenario i got the haste ring from Worldboss for resto druid

tribal blade
vale pine
#

but between rogue specs, the diffrence seems low

carmine portal
#

ring alone is 6000 haste it's madness

short radish
tribal blade
#

one of my guildies is playing an alt fdk and said it's dmg profile is similar to sub right now where it does all it's dmg in cds

tribal blade
vale pine
#

one of the aug tc's did say they are still one of the profiles with the highest baseline output

tribal blade
#

although grip is still mega busted

carmine portal
tribal blade
#

in this dungeon pool

vale pine
#

between rogue

#

assassiantion is slightly ahead

#

if we trust sim numbers

#

outlaw even more

#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
carmine portal

Sub but shorter cooldowns ergo more dmg uptime

#

Tbh FDK is rlly fun

vale pine

as you see

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.
carmine portal
#

So much glowing stuff

vale pine
#

but sim numbers have certain shortcommings

#

basically, outlaws damage profile is fairly flat

#

and many of the bosses have adds or vulnerability phases

tribal blade
#

i like how you don't even show DS sub on there

#

A+

vale pine
#

fatebound assassinaiton, besides looking like "woa 200k more dps"

grand wyvern
left jungle
#

That sim is dealing with tier.?

vale pine
#

ds sub is like 13-15% behind iirc

carmine portal
vale pine
#

so its worse than the diffrence on other specs

short radish
#

WOAH OUTLAW IS SIMMING HUGE DAMAGE DOES THIS MEAN OUTLAW WILL BE META THIS TIER?

tribal blade
vale pine
#

but fatebound also has the problem of being a "pure ingle target" spec

carmine portal
#

I was legit so excited when I rolled sub season 1 bcus i love the idea of Deathstalker being like omega funnel

#

but it's USELESS

vale pine
#

so if you add more targets it actually becomes worse

carmine portal
short radish
vale pine
#

sub has a lower trade off talent system

short radish
vale pine
#

so we can do big st

#

or cleave

carmine portal
vale pine
#

while keeping almost the same single targte

carmine portal
#

(it's not shadowy/magical enough)

short radish
vale pine
#

so all combined, makes it probably sub favored for raiding

#

sadly we are likely not so lucky in m+

short radish
#

fuck playing assi

carmine portal
#

100% dmg amp go brrrrrr

short radish
#

i fall asleep playing that spec

vale pine

there are at least 3 dungeons in m+

we could be played over assa

# vale pine tier 2p is 10% tier 2p + 4p is 30%

Can you convince Ulria of this so my guild takes those numbers into account instead of 10% less for 4p?😅 don't know where or how the reach Ulria but apparently that's what my guild is using

vale pine
vale pine
#

^ forward this to him

warm marlin
#

i believe ulria is using the numbers for upgrading 4p to 4p

grand wyvern
#

i'd take 10x more bugs gladly if they didn't do any public testing at all 🙁

warm marlin
#

which is why its only 20%

vale pine
#

and he might take it into account

#

ye 4p is 20%

#

2p is 10%

#

together its 30%

#

(roughly)

warm marlin
#

but that is compared to no bonus right

vale pine
#

yes

warm marlin
#

pretty sure hes comparing it to old 4pc

vale pine
#

well our old bonus is

#

~13% both combined

#

so even 2p2p beats old 4p

warm marlin
#

so 4p -> 4p is maybe closer to 20% only as a raw gain

vale pine
#

you gain item level too

warm marlin
#

at least im pretty sure thats how he arrived at 20%

#

no idea where it would come from otherwise

vale pine
#

but yes, maybe thats his very rough thought

#

some classes have very mediocre s2 sets

that being said it is large margin of error

so could be better!

(or way worse)

#

is it because old trinket or something

short radish

anything below a certain % is run at low precision no

its just because its so bad the precision doesnt matter

You mean that now i know thanks

vale pine
glacial haven
#

any recomendation for sub content? like youtube or streamer

vale pine
#

e.g. if i put the old pieces in

#

it looks like the set is not worth much

#

because... item level

#

going +40 item level is not a thing you won't notice

steel zinc

but equal itemlevel

#

whats the uplift?

vale pine
#

can you get the old tier on 720?

#

or why is that relevant

#

!up

vale pine
#

this would be with every tier set on 684

#

which is what you want i assume

crystal bone

thats juicy

#

id consider us lucky this tier

grand wyvern

some other classes got very unlucky xd

grand wyvern

id rather be not good for the first 2-4 weeks than to be not good the next 4 months

any recomendations for sub rogue content? cant barely find stuff

lone linden
#

okay, why is my shadowblades a 1.2min CD, i thought it was 90 seconds, same as flag?

#

what have i done

haughty mural
tribal blade
haughty mural
#

So we would still break current tier asap even on same ilvl

tribal blade
#

so the new 2pc is actually stronger than the entire old 4pc

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

ok yeah so essentially get tier asap haha

#

even more than before

#

is everyone's tier these kinds of numbers, must be right

crystal bone
alpine wraith
#

at least we have 2p for sure week 1

lone linden
#

any ideas anyone, ive not play sub in many tiers, im not sure why my shadowblades is a 1.2min CD now? it doesnt line up with flag

crystal bone
lone linden
tribal blade
#

you have the pvp talent reducing blades cd

lone linden
#

thanks mate

tribal blade
#

ofc!

alpine wraith
crystal bone
#

ohh yea

#

i forget about that every season

alpine wraith
#

although arguably the fastest way is to get 1600 in pvp

#

it is 3 solo shuffles or 4

#

but it can be hard

crystal bone
#

3-4 wins*

#

xD

alpine wraith
#

no wins

#

you get 300 rating or so even going 2-4

crystal bone
#

oh wow

#

but will u get a random hero piece during that

#

worth using the cata on

alpine wraith
#

no you do m+ for the hero piece

#

pvp does not drop gear

crystal bone
#

what is 2k rating?

#

all 8's?

alpine wraith
#

all 10s and some 11 was it

#

or all 10s or less i actually dont remember

crystal bone
#

all 10s was 2.5k i thought

alpine wraith
#

yea should be all 9s and some 8s

#

but idk

grand wyvern
#

probably all 7/8 is enough for 2k rating

alpine wraith
#

oh wait no first week should be higher

#

because you only have 1 side remember

#

but i guess someone will do the math

#

maybe all 8 is fine

haughty mural
#

Im curious

wild vine
#

You joined the enemy

grand wyvern
#

ok strategy question: given how strong tier is in the next vault would we take a champion tier piece over a hero non-tier?

haughty mural
#

Nah im just really curious

wild vine
haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

correct

#

even normal tier is worth because you would not use the last 2 steps of hero anyway

#

to waste gildeds

#

so they end up same ilvl

#

until you get mythic

wild vine
#

And you get non tier hero from m+

alpine wraith
#

dream is getting tier in delve row so it is HC

#

then a good cata item from m+ pr raid

#

and maybe luck in lfr

lilac stag
#

Dream is actually blizzard allowing tier in vault week 1

alpine wraith
#

it is very likely but who knows

lilac stag
#

wait for NA beta test

alpine wraith
#

as always

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

i cant wait for people opening vault at 6

#

and getting S2 items

#

because fuck you from blizz

#

then getting AI responses for 1 week straight

#

in support

wild vine
#

That would be wild
