i did this and then i was told that we are actually doing soulbinder and plexus instead

i dont blame them bc moth seems tuned harder
yeah, if we need the damage then I'll send. Its mostly a play by ear thing at this point
i think it sadly looks like im playing sin on alot of fights
so ascendance is my embellishment anyway
Same, I started playing fb sin on dimensius last night and it does a stupid amount of damage
I dont have ascendance though, not sure if I'm going to change from ele focus right now

is it better than sub
i feel like sub lines up well on dimensius
but maybe some of it is pad on the add platforms
it felt like it lined up well, and with 4pc it becomes a 90s spec anyways and has the same line ups
oh yea i meant breaking the wall while killing the big guy
and being able to dance all the mass guys
but idk if thats actuall yimportant or not on non heroic
I just run caustic and dont target it, classic sin kill the big thing
hehe
though I did shadowstep the nullbinders before we were gripping them and stunning it
so cool
I also took the platform spots for drops near the melee add in p1 to keep caustic cleaving
maybe fb is the play on dimensius but id be sad if so i like sub so much
yea i think the dances line up wlel in p1 if the adds are hard dps check on mythic
sub felt the best on nexus-king and I like it on forgeweaver, but I think sin is better on forgeweaver for sure
yeah on nexus king i went insane for 704 main hand
i felt so cool
he died before my cb sectech too or i wouldve gone even more iinsane
I messed up my last set of cds during the rings with our movement 🙁

though I was carrying each platform titan damage
next week probably holding prism for the dragon burn after the 1:30 use
yea the platforms were so fun
i think i did this but i couldve forgotten
but i think if ur unethical prism on the platform goes insane
I didn't want to find a new keybind for prism so just left it macro'd to blades
!wa
i have blades alone on alt r and prism + blades on alt f
and same thing for deathmark and prism deathmark
it feels good
I'm guilty of leaving it on deathmark. Probably change it to vanish macro for FB sin
and if you change your mind or misclick you can like
press alt r for reg death mark
and bc its on cd u can go oh my bad and press alt f right after
and u lose nothing
i think something like thats good if u have space
I think the only comfy bind I have left for it is one of the mouse buttons. Stealth bar is already kinda fucked because of ambush and shroud lol
sad
i have psychotic binds fwiw
backstab and ss swap places in stealth
mb4 builder is comfy for me but i think no one else in the world likes it
oh are you mmo mouse guy
yeah, though I mostly only use the first 2 rows
icic
I miss when shadowstrike was a clean replacement for backstab in stealth
yea i just have nothing on r in outside of stealth so the swap is consistent but it feels like a waste
!macro
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.
WTF
Last 2 rows are utility/QoL anyway
yeah its understandable
should i treat symbol as shiv?
like use during bursts and never use without them?
do u still CB 2nd sectec without S2 tier? is there any point in that?
!builds
@vale pine you incorrectly state Araz' has a three min cd, perhaps you mean three minute usage?
they do different things
in the trinket list
let me just watch the video or i might be seen as troll 😄
If cds aren’t coming up with. 20-30
You pop symbols with dance to use sectec and your dance rotation
Otherwise you’re trying to make sure you can fit 2x dance and symbols in flag blades
Sub is all about lining everything up neatly
You do that, you burst
You don’t, you’re healer dps
😭
i just want to do street with ease
For m+ sub is very lax
Just symbols and dance on packs
Try to make sure you have enough charges for cds
when shadow dance?
You always dance with symbols
and when shadow blades?
On whatever pack you wanna do damage to
[Danse Macabre] is it possible to skip this talent? it looks complicated xd
No
It’s not complicated
You can ignore it for the most part
It’s just strong as it is
in video it says
shadow dance + symb -> back stab -> sectec -> shadowstrike -> spam evis
and the backstab in this rotation it look weird af and my smoll sin brain cant handle
man sub with 4p feels so smooth and good. wish we did a bit better in raid 
the point is i always try to minmax and mostly ruin the whole rotation 😄
for danse it's pretty simple actually, you just weave in BS as first generator in dance both for danse and bc it caps ur cps
there were some truly cursed danse optimisations on 2t in df
i remember kurog lmao
lol
to this day im not sure if a consensus was reached about it
atleast trickster lets us send sectec asap
we used to land it as last finisher
but the clones also had to hit
Pretty sure you can get symbol-free dances every now and then with 4-set
The extra coup procs gives so much cdr over a dungeon
this has convinced me to try sub again when I commit to 4pc next week
1 question about [Danse Macabre]
why we throw sectec only with one stack when we can have 2 stack?
we just have to waste our first full cp
😄
i fucking hated how starved we've been for dance this expac
Hell yeah purple team, purple team
bc of these two
i hope they give us the havoc treatment
where they just make the tier set part of sub
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
your sectec primes unseen blade and gets you stacking a lot of flawless form
got it.
tierset can go crazy and proc a lot of blades for tons of mastery
Yeah i undesrstand now
and you wana fit a lot of coups inside dance
also getting it on cd is good
ya i legit didnt have a problem with the ebb and flow of sub before this but the cdr is so nice from all the coups
because more sectechs means more coups means more cdr means more sectechs etc
also pretty crazy prio
yea its so cool
I still have a bad taste in my mouth from BP on st in s1 before the changes
and playing ds on sikran 🤢
hah i was spared of that merficully xd
ended up just playing exclusively sin from then on for prog really
ill take a look, thanks
Is the shuriken storm optimization only in between coups or whenever coup is ready and you got blades up?
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
i have a doubt... just how many symbols+dance can we actually do between the big CDs (SB + Flag)?
we got any good weak aura trackers ?
the thing is that a lot of times when the time comes to do SB+Flag, i only can do 1 dance in the big CDs window
some guides says that i could do 2 times the symbols+dance and have 2 dance for the next SB+Flag, but i have been practising in the dummy and i find this is not always the case...
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
also tha aint working for me
!wa
is a dark brew build viable for m+?
it is not bad
I heard its a little bit easier instead of shadowcraft
So wtf are the bars for under the energy bar in the middle and what is the big purple bar for? also why did it make my combo points dissapear from under my portrait
sub feels pog (flood 10)
Guys whats up with thistle tea on sub? We use it for mast buff X2 times during blades right? Cant find any info about it. (Note: I hate it tbh but saw lots of ppl using it in m+ instead of CB 😝)
4p and which trinkets? Still need a good 1.5 to try some sub
2p, normal prism, s2 pacemaker, rotten build
just got this in a flood 10, 4pc is insane
its ok you are only conditioned to believe sub is meant to be mediocre
so 2p is 10% and 4p is 20 more?
2p is like 12% or something and 4pc is like 28.5 i think
yoo is there a particular reason why to use ss and not backstab between the casts of coup with the 4set?
to not waste stacks of escalating blade
^^
you cant build ES blade stacks while the proc is up
when you go coup -> ss -> coup -> double proc escalating blade -> coup -> ss -> coup it just feels so good
I've hit like low 30s for stacks of flawless form
Is it normal to start each fight with 0 stacks of netherprism? Am I missing something?
im guessing cold blood is better?
i saw people go thistle as well
Good to see pallys start to amek a little noise and instantly they are buffed
resets on raid boss pull, in M+ you should be able to start bosses with some
we have to 300 this ish and fight back
all 300? of us. do we even have 300
enough of them to affect Blizzard bottom line?
i dont like this precedent
Even with stacks resetting, is it still stronger than lily?
overall yes, but your opener is weaker because you basically are down an on use for it
Okay thank you, it felt weird not having it on pull but I understand it for longer fights.
apparently blizzard rewarded the ret paladin bs from last night
i said it would happen
cringe ass ret paly's
god damn nepo babbies
actually cringe as hell
dont invite rets to your keys and reward this bs
Can we shut this channel down for buffs too
dunno

wait do u guys know if this really drops from tazavesh? i cant find it in adventure guide
but its on droptimizer
gambit has the first one and streets second
yeah ok
thats why im confused
i vote we close the channel as a sign of protest of blizzard giving into this garbage
Gambit has been dropping gear from streets maybe that's why you are confused
I'm not sure that has anything to do with their channel
Arms got buffed by 8%, at least they deserved it
#SUBSTRIKE2025
oh!
theyre not the same ring
you're right
guys maybe if we lock the sub channel we can also get a 5% aura buff
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Bro we can’t even get spared a 5% buff bruh cmon man
they said they arent opening until double digit buffs
we need our ravenholdht overlords the close channels so i can play sub again
why did that retri whining work?
because nepotism baby
imagine the whole 12 of us going on a strike 
They were gonna buff ret regardless
Sub feels so nice in m+, then you walk into raid and feel absolutely dogpiss
Closing down a discord server has nothing to do with it
Depends on the boss tbh
Definitely pretty dogpissy but it’s not horrible on a few bosses
Popping it on first set doesn't really do anything since you don't have stacks
can pop on 1st/3rd/5th or macro and do every one
Madness sub gets no buffs but fire, Arms and Ret gets a buff
Cuz we get rework in next expac 
i mean re and fire mage are blizzards babies
we are like 50 peaple playing sub still
Retribution
All damage increased by 5%

pressing coup outside of cd's feels super weird
How tf do move this
thank you holy crap
!wa
🫡
Is that find weakness tracker still good?
!atro
Atrophic /Feint in Raid: > Click to Open <
does anyone know if the opener/prio list changes if im playing with the rotten/inevitability?
builds sim similarly for me so i wanna try it once
It does not
typically want to avoid haste but if its that much of an upgrade might be worth
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/r8pcnmhWyjNjQxQyGDJWxj Mind taking a look?
You’re at the start of a season. Ilvl tends to win out
Yeah but it's crit haste
yeah, it looks like its replacing your jastor so its swapping some haste for slightly more haste
It wants to take the crit ring
yep
Yeah I lose the mastery aswell
That’s not a haste ring
Sorry, Crit ring with haste secondary
Dropping CB for Tea increases crit
yeah
I can’t see it out mobile easily. Sorry
Try adding a crafted crit/mastery ring and see which it prefers
Yeah but does crit increase chance for Crit only? Or also increase crit damage
chance
I mean I lose like 30% mastery
And therefore I feel like I kind of need tea to balance it out, no?
Or am I just bad at sub 
sim number up = good
So fuck the stats and listen to the robot
correct
But do I need to swap to Tea to balance it out?
yea only thing that was big before the super DRs came into play was mastery=m ore aoe
but now not even
just get bigger number in sim
As so is Mastery not as important anymore
but we're playing wow, not the sims
wrong
I feel like im playing good in this raid, but Im logging so poorly atm xD love it
loggin as sub will be super hard
not many people then the ones that have 4p prism etc do a lot more dmg
Gothca. How is sub performing in mythics? havent touched wow since s1
It’s easy when you play assa. Just put ilvl on and the golden child is happy.
haha so the robot is a bigger degen than us
It’s fine. It’s not Assa.
heehee
is this how many ret players there are
Nothing compares to assa rn it seems xD
If we closed this part of the server down no one would notice
we are like 12 people
i didn't realize you could hit numbers like that in a class discord
thats crazy
12 terribly sad people at that.
not really we just know what happens here
i expect deathstalker to get buffed
twice
just to spite us

Rework and fix eviscerate in DS. Hell just make it work with BP then it's fine
is my damage breakdown okay? i seem to struggle with aoe dps and prolonged ST fights with this class. i am new to it. Any tips / guides you can recommend that would be beneficial to me thanks
What content is for this for
unless your tank was pulling really small thats' low bp damage
Are you doing the opener properly and getting 16 gcds in your shadow dances during flag
That lock decimated you. Press BP more. Likely holding CDs too long
he wasnt pulling too small. i was not casting it till like halfway through. cause i was like why tf am i not doing aoe dmg
i have the same issue with bp we are using bp in 5+ target?
4
ok ty
in and out of blades
yep
okay
you still coup but yeah, bp on 4 targets (or 3 FW debuffs but just stick with 4)
and in 4+ if i'm under shadow dance i always shadowtrike if i'm not i shuriken right?
yep
not to sure, i was going shadowstrike > flag > rupture > > symbol > backstab > shadowblades > secret technique
ok ty boss!
What are you doing after that
The guide on wowhead also exists if you're not using it
shadow strike until 6+ combo then evis
What build are you using
granted i didnt know you're supposed to use BP after 4 targets. so i didnt use that.
thistle tea. i had energy issues using the cold blood
prolly cause im new at spec
Don't use the bottom right talent and swap to the rotten on bottom left it guarantees FW
Which is really important
eh
Every symbols = crit builder = FW
finality? most builds i see have this
kinda with eleem where I'm not 100% sold on needing rotten
esp if finality is bugged to buff every bp
Finality is a good talent but it's harder to use right and less Intuitive
You think about FW tho
barely
You're also not new
what is FW? sorry noob lol
Find weakness
but you're suggesting a build that that you do have to play around vs one you don't
with finality you literally put no thought into it
granted i have to BP more. should i be taking "deeper Daggers" Evis and Bp increase shadow dmg done by 8%
It might also be your uptime
Fair ig I just think in terms of when to track FW and it just seems harder when you're choosing to use storm for it specifically
also kinda noob question. Do i hold symbols to rip with a shadow dance / vise versa? only pop them together?
ive been trying to hold them for secret technique too. but i feel like thats counter intuitive cause youll lose dps holding cds
So there are instances when you have an extra symbols but no dance
Also try and make sure you have 1.6+ dances when you're about to use flag
You get 1-2 dances between flag windows, a bit more this patch specifically
dumb that down. 1.6 of what lol?
So you don't need two full dances when you're about to go into your flag window
You only need about 1 and then most of the recharge for the 2nd
oh i get ya. have 1 full and one roughly 20 seconds off
either of you Zorn or Haptic available to join up in game quickly?
are you US? or EU
US
kk. the guide on wowhead with the opener and continued rotation. is that fairly accurate?
im not a dumb player lol. i was almost 3.7k last season with feral. just completely new to rogue / sub
Sub is a pain when you're new
forsure, i appreciate the help none the less
I started last season and didn't get it for a month or so
i also dont have any tier on this guy. so i am not sure if that plays a factor. esp cause its coup de grace
New tier is bonkers
i read somewhere you just rip coup de grace even if you have like 2 combo points
Tier is huge increase
Yes
Since its +5 cp its technically a 6 or higher
Is 5 million overall reasonable without any new tier for 8 flood or 8 prio
would it count for 6 CP on flag too in that case i wonder
do we supercharge the free proc of coup or still only do it for secret tech
thats pretyy legit
Supercharging sectech always
Tier helps a lot, I got 6.7 earlier with it but a good parse is around 8mil atm
30% aint enough to make the second coup worth it
(since it doesnt work on shadowed finishers its closer to 30%, not 50%)
Definitely will have some optimizations after rereading a few items in the guide. Blasted a 22mil dps on one of the trash pulls
Yeah it's really good
i'll get there. just need the practice lmao
I kinda sandbagged for my parse had a sandbag lock as well in the group and still got that 6.7 so
do you fan of knives with 3+?
You always strike, you'd shuriken storm over backstab at 3+ or more
right, okay
you need a lot more bps
for prolonged ST you just need to master the fundamentals of sub rogue's cooldown management
all your damage is in your cooldown windows
so if you cant squeeze out all your juice in those 20 seconds
you're kinda cooked
get used to your downtime rotation
make sure each dance is putting out the most possible damage, make sure you dont waste UB procs, make sure your sectec is always buffed
outside of dances you're kinda just sitting there spreading ruptures and maybe throwing out bps, you just need to get used to the spec's tight windows
for aoe do we storm once or twice to spread fw then spam ss?
do we just send netherprism in with shadowblades in macro always?
these damage amps are all bit cringe lasting like 5 seconds
!gear
how good is sub in raid and m+?
!up
i mean having prism puts you in top percentile
same as having 4p
most of us are 0p with welfare on use HoC
or at most lilly/pvp trink
yea kinda
on m+ it is quite better because of how dmg on pulls work
on st you need the special APL
so it does not mess up prism
i would not use lilly becasue you kinda miss 1 use
You can also just not use prism for one blades and it will be doubled the next time
for sure, just no luck with pacemaker yet
And ye sub is really good in keys
sub with gear manages to do strong enough burst
Just overshadowed by assa being an absolute menace gapping literally every spec by 15%
that the wang weak times are not as bad
yea that is funny
bad st?
pull shit onto boss
yea felt good doing 4 mil more than random boomkin andy
only downbreaker and few others sub is kinda big vs assa
xD
and even then
oh streets yea
if only halls and priory didnt have all those huge pulls
where assa can gap sub hard
they have some bosses only arenas
Dunno
One of us got like 40mil trash pull a day or two ago if we can consistently do that
easy with some good gear
Has anyone tested DS sub in keys at all
if we closed the channel we'd get deathstalker buffs
man... i played sub when was really down but still tried to keep up
nah i have enough ds bullshit while playing pvp
It's day 4 of rtwf, when is liquid gonna pull the raid? When echo kills dimensius
Same
ye and thankfully we always have people here to help, no matter bad or good times, and that's good
!wa
is it trolling to play sub for prog
No
@dusk stone @swift tinsel this better? dmg was still low ovr but i was getting those BP's out much more
i can get 2 set rn
Do you have last seasons tier
no sir
I think you should log a key and link it either in dm or here so we can see what's going on
That's a pretty based comp for sub
A Sim would help too, right now we just don't have enough Info
3mil is low even for last season
i can attempt a sim
when simmim for whole dungeon. you do dungeon slice? or 5 targets for 5 min?
No just 5 min patchwerk
5 target or 1?
1 target just to get a baseline
Stat distribution seems fine, your haste trinket is useless the rest is fine
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah its pretty odd
it honestly must be just bad synergy between my cd's i cant think of anything else it could be
How in the world do you have a 2mil sim
Did you have skyfury, battleshout and etc raid buffs on?
Oh, put on the raid buffs you'd have in a comp minus bloodlust
So skyfury, battle shout, mystic touch and mark of the wild
It's a new toon I think
My gear is trash and I'm at 3.7 sim
Yeah there we go it looks more sane now
Tier was like 500k for me and prob a mil overall if no 2p as well
Get tier ASAP if you can to start, get a new on use trinket and avoid haste, it has half the value of other stats
So for m+
When the tank is gathering are you spreading rupture while you wait or how's that go
should i be?
So unlike other classes we have tricks of the trade, it allows you to give all of your threat to the tank
cause i havent, i just tend to slow dps and just build CP before i "burst"
when i get that on use trink. i assume macro into shadow blades?
Essentially as soon as the tank has tagged a mob You can use storm and spread rupture to all mobs the the tank is pulling
Yes to the trinket
When he's done gathering hit your stuff and go to town, rupture gets ALL of your damage amps and you're spreading it two dots at a time
ah so i should take talent that lets me spread it to 2 targets lol
but that sounds reasonable. to spread dots as the tank grabs aggro of everything
I think you showed me that you had it in your tree
I sent you a video from a sub rogue in floodgate, it may help
why is it so low
No raid buffs we sorted that bit
no tier set, no on-use
oh
Didn't realize raid buffs were 700k dps now

you only do the shuriken storm in between coups in cooldowns specifically?
not solo dances
!coup
Coup de Grace Optimizations:
- **Number 1: **You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up. This is to build up Shadow Techniques for your cooldowns.
- 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.

just a heads for the the wowhead guide creator 🙂
im assuming its meant to be "use the below"
so everyone got buffed except sub correct?
from wowhead
so 1.88% gain according to the wowhead spreadsheet
should nimble flurry be beneath my black powder in aoe on details? and sectec for that matter?
I feel like im doing the things right but maybe im just stupid
check the top ranked parses
the pull pattern is probably different, but you should be able to get a general idea of the damage profile
kk ty
Just got netherprism last night. are there any reason not to macro it to shadow blades?
You tend to lose that first stack at the beginning/after wipe but it doesn’t matter much
Okay, then I'll just macro it. Thanks for the reply
mages need that buff guys
tru they did
What?
@lucid jackal yet another fight where rogue buff isn't useful 
rip rogue
its joever forever im deleting my character
@warm marlin how many keys you at for the week?
like 35 10s
ive seen 7 rings drop in db today
just need both of them + tazavesh neck and i get to log out 
Its the only fight where it doesnt work
I checked
Every other fight its equal to or better than dev aura
ok sure but the point was that you're not dropping pala because its slightly worse than rogue buff
but you do get these kind of scenarios
at least i got trinkets
Anyone can link me the pre-season sims for all classes ?
With the 2p and 4p dps gains

good morning chat, how was the patch for you so far
its so jover for rogue, not brought to forgeweaver
actual optional optional raidbuff
Patch good. Rogue funny. Ass big. Sub purple. Needs more purple. 10% more purple.
purple needs to change to a shadowy black
I'm excited to get the 4p, it seems extremely fun.
how gimped am i by my 20% haste I wonder
only took 11 hours of M+ today, finally got pants to drop. 4pc time and more sub keys
Hell yeah
!loot
i got 4p today too, looking forward to some double couping
I need to kill Soulbinder today on heroic (Which, well, he's a trash mob of a boss lmao) and if I get tier, I get 4p
if I don't get tier, uh...... I guess it's Soul hunters.
in assa prison, but like guy am ascending to actually enjoy all 3 rogue specs

Best way to be, play it all. Master it all.
r1 multispec freakazoid rogue
Because then you unlock the most powerful ability: complain about it all
ngl, fatebound is so chill and just does a stupid amount of damage
soon you will ascend to salmon
though I have no crit for it right now lol
lukewarm take im sure but why is ds the aoe tree and fatebound the st one
mark is not annoying at all in st and marking one opponent to take down makes way more sense as a st tree


its technically the funnel tree
When is the sub discord going to get closed for buffs? 
better than most of the other melee 
👨🦯 blizzard watching ele/sp/warlock/mage/dev just decimate all the melee
tbh for liquid, its mostly about getting gear to certain characters on early bosses, not the best damage comp
until they run into an issue
got 4pc keys feel very good with it
that just means that wizards are what they want on later bosses which kind of proves the same point
i don't have it yet
its ok tho melee pops off on the burst cleave bosses so its still fine
wait
thats ranged too
and then they add spread cleave
i equipped haste to get my 4pc, i feel dirty

went from about 5.3? in FG to almost about 6.5 after on a mid run its a very strong set and it feels super good with room to optimize
because rogue is a forgotten ginger bastard child atm
we had our rework in dragonflight
time to sit for another 2 expansions
Surely their improved strategy for tomorrow will involve bringing back rogue 
i mean they're talking about bigger boss dmg in a big aoe fight
ds sin looking juicy
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i mean everyone knew rogue is one of the specs/classes you can skip on
subtleties "no parry" would probably have kept rogue palyed
too bad blizz did not want to see sub played ^^
devs aren't beating the allgeations of being spawncamped by a rogue in vanilla and still holding a grudge
like how the fuck fire mage gets a random 4% buff
i think its simply a information problem
i mean its well known mage receives preferential treatment
there is a lack of tooling to be able to meaningfully balance things
and they lack devs to iterate over classes and specs in need for more updates
which leads to what we see a lot this xpac
to just "wing it"
some classes/specs are the clear winners of this approach
i dunno they still have enough data to see the massive skew at the bottom
others can eat dirt so to say
like at this point it has to be intentional
when everyone and their monkey can see clear winners and losers
dirt is yummy indeed
Ranged has intrinsic advantages in some situations which you cannot change by updating melee
shuriken toss damage increased by 89000%
if you compare classes or specs you often see big diffrences in how well developed their trees are
a lot of DF trees are still in need of a lot of work, and some specs need updates to be able to compete in certain content types
I don't think you can extrapolate from sub to other melee
It's just that nobody cares for sub
And warrior, apparently 
yeah but warriors bring a useful buff at least
you can't complain about car manufacturing
True
if you can't drive a ferrari
because who cares about a vw or a audi
nobody cares about them
I say you can complain about sub rogue and don't have to make it about all melee
its not even all melees
And right now it's most melee
its like many classes
like warrior
enhance are also above average usually
a lot of their nodes in the tree are boring asf
dk did recive a lot of updates
so ye
checks out, they are good because they got updates
feral was kinda forgotten for like 5 expansions
I don't know
We are whining about updates rn
I don't need updates to trickster sub
thats been the running theme of the expansion
think of it this way
thing is though
I like how we play
our gameplay is fine
assassiantion was as good in m+ as subtlety was
we just lack tuning
but was not played
and they dont want to turn those knobs
15% to eviscerate
black powder 📉
all we play in m+ is asssassiantion
Nah fuu is focusing on the real stuff
Our issue is that we don’t whine enough
we haven't had our aoe fixed
our issue is we don't whine loud enough due to lack of noise
our entire design is overly punishing and complicated
Shut down sub rogue discord till they buff us!!1!11!!1
it doesnt
you can always fix something by massively buffing things
Give st and I'm good
like what is with PV as a talent, noone in their right mind would take that atm
dead node
but its not wrong
!wa
its a late talent too, why is it garbage
tuning is the baseline
tbh our 5% buff we got at the end of ptr felt like a
Oh shit we haven't even looked at sub rogue at all. Let's buff them by 5% just to be safe so they aren't absolutely dogwater
everything else would just to make the spec better and qol
we are in raid now about 1.5 months before season 3 started where we were
a few buffs and we will be below aug again
They should’ve accidentally buffed us twice like last time
This is the point of a patch where nothing will get done besides easy tuning, not saying that dev attention could be better during ptr etc. So we need more single target rn and that's what I'm advocating for.
You could prob get away with ST. Not like we're using evis much and our boss damage is a bit low
it wont have drastic adverse effects in m+
here’s your BP buff. now go away. they don’t give a shit about sub as a spec. should be obvious at this point.
sub can't just become the best spec in m+
we are currently beating sin rogues on FG is how good the tier set is
if we make boss damage like 10% better
it will be too much maybe
that isn't exclusive to sub. They systemically don't spend enough time for specs
We're beating sin if the group doesn't play around sin
this is with funnel accounted for
The second a mega develops that includes sin we won't
its been speculated to be a maybe sin maybe sub key since ptr
we aren't in an awful place for m+ but we can't just receive drastic stuff or we're broken
i know this is a bit 🤡 but i feel sub > sin in gambit due to having to reapply rupture in the first zone
we are including that obviously
It’s consistently shown every dev cycle with this spec. It’s the afterthought of the three specs on a class that is by comparison to other classes a lower priority.
we don't beat sin
and then all the rupture mobs are already dead
unless you do low keys
floodgate
where stuff dies fast
I don't know what to tell you Zorn, but that's categorically not true
once we move to higher keys
well at least we're not saying maybe now
Can see that, at least for now
subtlety falls off quickly because the sustained damgae is low
Салатикок 😎
also sin does absurd prio damage
its actually not "that" bad anymore
regular dances do quite a lot now
we probably would just need a evis buff and secret to 8 instead of 5 soft cap
I'm quite happy with how sub plays and performs in m+. I just refute that it competes with sin, and fg is no exception.
!fuu

stealthi posted new data so yeah i agree
its just been rampant speculation thus far that we'd MAYBE have fg as a sub key
it’s cope is what it is
Dawnbreaker is yummie
since did get a caustic "nerf"
they got hotfix nerfed already kinda
last night
^
Huh
caustic ws double dipping
but to be fair
with specc aura
lets compare in a key thats less favorable to sub
Akara
give shadowdust back
Sorry. Assa is now priority spec. Best we can offer is 6% BP buff.
Is there some write up about it?
nah
I'll take it
Missed that completely and there's no pin in sin discord
blizzard didn't even wanna tells us they did it
just got caught when it hit the servers
how much of a nerf is it

Briefly discussed in the #tc-research channel
it went from 48% replicated dmg down to the intended 40%
17% of caustic damage
so take your last assa dmg breakdown and remove 17% of caustic damage
keep in mind depending on the build this isnt that big of a nerf. Like bleed build it isnt that bad. Raid cleave build its a much bigger hit.
!fuu

Maybe that evens it out on 3rd boss
its definitely a not insignificant nerf to assa for soulbinder yeah
did sin even need it
wcl shows that
but go watch liquids comp
sin is not even in top 50% of dps
well i think their kill was after it was fixed
they might have just prio'd people that needs items from the boss ngl
it was a joke of a boss
Ryldd would have lost 450k dps, which is like 6-7%
i saw that, somehow easier than the "2nd" boss
idk maybe its just the name
i dont think anyone would beat bingus regardless of spec
agreed
i have like 2 days of practice for assa
im not an assa player
No
did the warr unequip wep?
not for your warrior thats for sure
no
Why would you ask sub chat if your sin performance was good
this is a sin channel now buddy
get with the times
i suppose thats much more gear though
it was yes
put the poisons in the bag
My shiv usage still feels atrocious
!gear
ambush for mark, spread garrote to everything, rupture depending on pull length, CT, dm, shiv envenom etc etc vanish reapply imp garr to everything big once shiv over, ct shiv again
not as assa expert obviously though im just hitting buttons 
Just wait till MA rolls off and vanish so it refreshes 😉

yeah
that with 4p right?

should be highest
people are very bad
!belt
thats also true
Hey, so this is my first expansion, and the prev two tiers melee and ranged balance looked ok, but its not looking too good for melees in general this tier. Whats the rest of tier going to be like if rwf balance is heavily ranged favored? There will still be demand for rogues and melee after rwf is over right?
Why would sub get nerfed ?
I feel like Assa is outright better in keys atm
no feels needed, it just is better
Yea
we were just that garbage for 2 patches in a row is why us being ok feels like it deserves a nerf
imagine if subs gonna get buffed because of raid dps rankings
we gonna be s++ in keys
xd
you just buff evis
What knobs can they turn to buff our st?
not like we press that on AoE anyways
i guess that works
but dont you have to buff it so much we become broken for boss damage
how much %age our evic do in raid
so like 40% if you count coup
that has to translate to like 8% aura buff for us to be middle of the pack atm no?
not actually sure what the spell data is on coup
pretty sure it is its own spell
eleem prolly knows
