bc I want them to be like a pixel separated lol

plush roost
#

Does wang also have energy

warm marlin
#

omegalul it's a bit scuffed though

swift tinsel
#

ye it has energy

plush roost
#

Ah ofc it is

#

Its awang

warm marlin
#

hes working on it but sometimes the settings just disappear

plush roost
#

(Jk love u awang)

swift tinsel
#

yeah super funny lmao

#

if he gets stuff sorted tho its gonna be banger

warm marlin
#

or it blocks your escape button from functioning

swift tinsel
#

I tried editing the config .lua to bridge the gap but wasn't able to get it to shrink

#

lmao does it really

#

haven't experienced that yet

old spindle
#

when it comes to Sub, is Nelf still a damage benifit or has it balanced out since the changes?

vale pine
#

its not that big anymore

#

so not the "best" possible

chrome palm
#

“Restealthing” as requires you to drop combat for 6s

vale pine
#

it was quite handy in keys

old spindle
#

👍 was just wondering if i should consider race changing. ill stick to human 😄

chrome palm
#

Oh for utility but that isn’t to do with sub I mean

shrewd lantern
#

i dont think nelf was ever the best

#

from a pure dps pov

chrome palm
shrewd lantern
#

human unironically is probably one of the better races

#

well and dwarf

old spindle
#

ye. outlaw losing all stealth shuffle and the tweaks to ass, i imagine only using it if i drop my mark

winter harbor
#

holy changes man. Sub is legit easier to play than BM hunter now and it's not even close. I'm 100% confident I could mythic raid with this playing with a DDR mat.

shrewd lantern
#

realistically no race is truly gamebreaking

winter harbor
#

I haven't been really following the betas and stuff but my god this is so boring

#

im pretty sure healers have a more complex and engaging DPS rotation than sub does now. This can't be it's final form man.

tepid trellis
#

majority of the classes got taken out back

#

pruned to bits

pallid inlet
#

give me back dust

tepid trellis
#

pretty much everything is 3 button ungaboonga

winter harbor
#

fuck man, I can't see myself spending 8-12 hours a week in prog hitting 2 buttons.

vale pine
#

3

winter harbor
#

mb

#

3

chrome palm
vale pine
chrome palm
#

It is from garrote and from the enmity of blizzard entertainment class developers

winter harbor
#

Wait this means that classic vanilla rogue is legit harder to play than retail. All the dads with 8 full time jobs and 3 families that can only play 3 hours a month are going to migrate to retail now lol.

tepid trellis
#

probably not

#

still a vastly different game to back then

winter harbor
#

I mean sure the raids are harder but those people aren't going to prog mythic, they are going to sit in raid finder or normal pugs hitting their 3 buttons on retail rogue.

#

XD

tepid trellis
#

3 buttons fast

#

vs 1 button every 8 sec

#

waiting for energy

swift tinsel
#

and casting slice and dice once you can send a finisher

#

peak

winter harbor
#

At least in classic you had the option to use EA, rupture, and slice.

swift tinsel
#

wow such compelling options

#

lmao

winter harbor
#

I mean its all just a joke but retail right now is so disappointing.

tepid trellis
#

ngl rupture being gone is the least of my gripes

hollow spear
#

In classic you have legit five seconds between each button press to think about what to do next, it's not even close

plush roost
#

Im ngl guys sub in tww had 5 buttons...

2 of which are tied to 2 other buttons its really not different

#

Symbols tied to dance, flag tied to sblades. Oh and we have rupture

#

Wow so diffy

vale pine
tepid trellis
#

main diff was the small nuances which we dont have anymore specific timings for stuff

vale pine
#

the rotation became easier

#

but there is a decade long obfuscation of game mechanics and spaghetti code that was not reduced

lilac stag
#

Go play any other class for 1-3 weeks and come back to rogue when you realize the grass isn’t greener.

plush roost
vale pine
#

inherently, the funny part is

tepid trellis
#

they will 100% make it uncancelable

#

and the strike at 7

winter harbor
#

other classes being 2 buttons as well doens't make it better

tepid trellis
#

will also be nuked

vale pine
#

wow 2 would be a massive improvement for players

plush roost
swift tinsel
#

it did take them forever to make dn un-cancelaura'able

tepid trellis
#

unintended gameplay gets smited very fast

swift tinsel
#

so maybe we get away with it for a few weeks lol

#

but doubt

tepid trellis
#

well nobody played DS sub

#

so dont think they actually gave a shit

plush roost
#

Id prefer them make the apex work with sec tec or not consume before fixing unintended interactions

swift tinsel
#

macrocosmically no one plays sub so they might not either

#

give a shit, that is

swift tinsel
tepid trellis
#

sub has only been the prog spec for the last like 5 years for rogue

swift tinsel
#

still one of if not least played specs

swift tinsel
#

for general gameplay

#

not just prog raiding

tepid trellis
#

then yes

#

you played sub

#

ever since sanctum

winter harbor
#

Whats funny is my M+ frost DK alt that I played on vibes just chilling is now significantly more complex than my rogue (unless they gutted it as well, haven't checked).

lilac stag
#

Spoiler. It’s not

swift tinsel
#

blue ret complex

#

lmao

vale pine
lilac stag
#

Arms maybe the most complex spec currently.

hollow spear
#

People not overreacting to the pruning: impossible

lilac stag
#

I’m just gonna enjoy the vibe and pray for some love to goremaws

#

shit ain’t worth getting upset over

winter harbor
#

brother people being annoyed at the possibliliity of hitting 3 buttons for 4 hours straight is not overreacting. It's a game. You are supposed to have fun playing it. Right now a league champion has more complexity than my MMO character. It's jarring.

warm marlin
#

you will cancelaura sht early instead

#

would be even harder to play well

shrewd lantern
#

i mean sub realistically was hitting the same few buttons

#

even in s3

#

once you understand it you kind of just autopilot the same few buttons

warm marlin
#

the button count isnt even whats important, though I do feel like one more button would be nice. moreso a lot more thinking and planning things than midnight1 sub

winter harbor
#

Insane take tbh. There was so many engines going behind the scenes for what you were doing it felt great. You cant take that away and not add anything else

shrewd lantern
#

yeah basically you had to think about decision making

#

but the actual button count of s3 was nothing impressive

warm marlin
#

most ramp gone, dot setup gone, coup prep mostly gone

#

cdr gone

winter harbor
#

it was over double what we have now. The number may not be crazy but halving your presses is significant.

shrewd lantern
#

well no symbols prune really does nothing

#

the prep ryldd mentioned being gone sucks

tepid trellis
#

they want the game to be easier rotationally so, it is what it is

winter harbor
#

Maybe i'll become a streamer and be the first person to get CE playing sub rogue on my phone.

shrewd lantern
#

if you took baked symbols into dance and flag into sb last season

#

it would be been the same depth

lilac stag
#

TWW dance rotation was easier.
MN pre dance setup is easier.
Just have some fun.

winter harbor
#

Macroing symbols and dance together was bad and good rogues didnt do that.

warm marlin
shrewd lantern
#

good thing they baked supercharger into dance

warm marlin
#

the last time i fought a mythic boss in tww3 i think i manual pressed symbols like twice at most the entire fight

shrewd lantern
#

now

stable plume
#

Controversial opinion: I like new sub rogue. It feels fun, powerful cd windows, and overall enjoyable.

warm marlin
#

the required macro was like 80-90% of the casts

swift tinsel
#

bad rogue bad rogue whatcha gonna do

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i think i hit manual symbols more prepull

#

than during the fight

north schooner
#

they forgor to change the buff tooltip 💀

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

coup gcd is fun

#

if you prepped properly you would be forced to use the macro for even second dance in blades

#

so rarely did you press it manual

lilac stag
#

Almost as much fun as DSM

tepid trellis
#

im a freak i play pretty much entirely without rotational macros

#

i just do shit manually

hollow spear
#

Yeah idk, so many buttons that we've lost were kinda meh

winter harbor
#

You should always send symbols before you ST including the second one you get in yoru first dance with good procs. Macroing them together was bad.

hollow spear
#

Are you trying to explain how to play sub rogue to Ryldd?

#

Lmao

warm marlin
#

with tfd yes, without tfd dance ends and st is ready at same time

warm marlin
winter harbor
#

most of hte time you could yeah

warm marlin
#

coup was cringe

#

my delay in logs was like 0.15s usually and it was costing me

tepid trellis
swift tinsel
#

gets rank one mythic parses, then called bad

warm marlin
#

the goat

hollow spear
#

Isn't it still cringe?

swift tinsel
#

take that discord cult

lilac stag
#

I do enjoy people coming here expecting overwhelming support for their angst against the new 2 button spec. Little do they realize sub rogues the best group to take what little we are given and make the best of it.

warm marlin
#

regardless that was only tww3

#

you did manual press it in tww2

winter harbor
#

My gcds were fine unless i was lagging

warm marlin
#

i miss symbols because of the times you pressed it independent of dance which made it interesting

#

as an extra button to press pretty much always with dance it was mid

tepid trellis
#

i will say tho

#

ill 100% rather take midnight sub

#

over early DF sub

#

any day of the week

#

fck that shit

#

or SL sub

#

garbage ass design

winter harbor
#

I mean why even have extra buttons at all tbh. Having extra buttons is cringe. We should have 2 buttons. 1 that is called damage and one that is called defensive.

swift tinsel
#

SL sub was so deadge I mentally blocked it out

stable plume
#

For minor cleave boss fights (Dimensius as an example), is deathstalker or trickster coming out ahead?

winter harbor
#

Yeah i played sub for most of CN then swapped to outlaw and played that until the rework mid DF.

warm marlin
tepid trellis
swift tinsel
#

today's notes will change everything trust

#

we'll be feasting

warm marlin
#

mmm yes certainly

swift tinsel
#

today or tomorrow

#

chefs been cooking for two weeks now

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

and by two weeks I mean since before christmas break

swift tinsel

Goremaws change today

warm marlin

here I'll post it early

hollow spear
#

Banger

chrome palm
#

im really excited for the upcoming frostfire mage changes

#

which we will have 30 lineso f

warm marlin
#

i think unholy dk needs another rework

#

pronto

shrewd lantern
#

i miss when symbols was a real amp

#

and not glorified st buffer

#

that it was in s3

tepid trellis
#

i think devourer DH needs some sort of reap proc off of consume casts

swift tinsel
#

ye

tepid trellis
#

on single target

#

that spec is

#

ehm

swift tinsel
#

that spec in st is aidsburger

#

aoe can have at least a minor hint of spice

tepid trellis
#

its fun on AoE tho

#

beam-reap-beam-reap-beam-reap

swift tinsel
#

I like getting to beam - meta - reap

#

beam - consume spam til next reap - beam

tepid trellis
#

managed to get 4 stars into 1 meta

swift tinsel
#

hell yeah

#

do you usually send your reaps right after beam? I've been holding until just before beam is off cd again before sending it

#

can stay in meta super long

tepid trellis
#

as long as you dont overccap

#

just rip it

#

imo

swift tinsel
#

ah

#

bc I'm usually getting 3+ stars that way

#

and always reap at low fury

shrewd lantern
#

realistically anything is better than sl sub

tepid trellis
#

most important is just to beam insta on cd

swift tinsel
#

also feels like being able to spellqueue beam is kinda forgiving

#

bc there's def been times I should have been yeeted out of meta but can snipe a beam right before it does bc of spellqueue

tepid trellis
#

from what ive been told as well, you dont wanna cast reap without the proc

#

pretty much ever

swift tinsel
#

Oh yeah I don't

astral axle
#

i still dig sub but i do think it is missing a je ne sais quoi. a little too lean? unsure. definitely not one of the people longing for rupture but shrugFreg

swift tinsel
#

esp since you never worry about voidfall overstacking bc you get beam enough with even decent haste

#

but would def like something to break up consume spam, however fast you get to with haste

shrewd lantern
#

i mean apex gives some thought

astral axle
#

If before I was like 😀 now I'm like 🙂

hazy breach
#

Apex definitely makes it better, could probably still use some extra sauce but its fine

astral axle
#

and yeah that's fair apex

hazy breach
#

Like in s2 its probably gonna be solid if we get an interesting tierset for example

#

But thats like 6+ months away so OMEGAKEKW

swift tinsel
#

Idk I was lukewarm on devourer but after playing it and havoc a good amount the last few days I'm liking it as a main alt prospect

bleak night
#

its satisfying to play

astral axle
#

I really like a good burndown spec

swift tinsel
#

the st rotation is kinda eh but I do like the melee component, wish it had a little bit more to it

bleak night
#

i think it not having apex in prepatch is gonna ruin a lot of peoples perspective of it

#

its simple but its definitely decent fun

swift tinsel
#

does apex really add that much though

bleak night
#

i mean

swift tinsel
#

you get a free collapsing star

bleak night
#

its an entire extra star cast + 5 souls

tepid trellis
#

insta start after reap on meta

#

or not on reap

#

press meta = +5 souls and insta star

swift tinsel
#

bc isn't the big hangup for a lot of people that it takes a while to get into meta

tepid trellis
#

well in the m+ build it does on single target

#

but that because you only have consume

swift tinsel
#

ye true

tepid trellis
#

in the single target build

#

you have more generation

cursive vapor
#

guys if i have 6/7 cps and dance + sectec ready: first an evis or immediately dance and sectec? or doesnt matter?

lilac stag
#

Finish 6+ send Sectech to get on cd

swift tinsel
#

supposed you also get the 10sec cdr on voidblade when you star

winter galleon
#

For pre patch do we tab target at all or just blast?

tender dust
#

Guys, if SB is coming off cooldown and i'm holding my dance to double dance in SB windows, but sectech is off cooldown do i just hold the setech for the SB windows. or do i press then sectech without a dance?

haughty mural
#

im here for it

tender dust
#

Or does that depends on how long it is

limpid sage
tender dust
manic island
#

is it possible to get platynator to show supercharged combo points?

lilac stag
#

Check with their discord

haughty mural
#

In platynator?

manic island
#

yea

haughty mural
#

For what use case ?

manic island
#

i put my combo points attatched to nameplates, but the ones on platy are all red

#

instead of turning blue sometimes when you have sccp

#

i think blizz's own resource display did it but doesnt anymore

haughty mural
#

I just track my cps on my own ressource bar

manic island
#

thats what i have to do rn

haughty mural
#

Didn’t know it was a thing to teach your combo points on nameplates

west tide
#

will akinator know my favorite rogue discord mods

slate marlin
#

i just tried and it cant guess whispyr so

lilac stag
haughty mural
#

You can also have some pre combat

#

But I agree

chrome palm
#

Im pretty sure

hazy breach
#

Yeah classic andies

#

But like, having it in the middle is just way better, so if you can have that instead why wouldnt you?

#

Idk

#

So many people asking for it

bleak night
#

I was definitely surprised by how many people apparently used it

chrome palm
#

But also, there’s never a reason to track supercharger

hazy breach
#

The only reason would be to know if youve pressed it prepull

chrome palm
#

Oh true

radiant swift
#

does dslcie work for sub?

#

or do u sim m+ with 5 5t5m?

small helm
#

Is sub’s niche big snap aoe?

hazy breach
winter moon
#

Question, do you ever send tech with 6 combo points or is better to spend and then dance into tech.

warm marlin
#

snap aoe burst good

viral phoenix
#

Whats the difference in prio damage between the hero talents? does DS have more with focus?

plush roost
#

Singular is like 4% of your overall in a key

#

Does pretty decent prio in gigapulls like algethar

chrome palm
#

pure prio is probably quite close id imagine

plush roost
#

Ive had singular be top dps on the tree boss

chrome palm
plush roost
#

Boss dam only

#

Feel like kinda meh tho

#

U lose a lot of eviscerate dam

#

But smallies need to die so idk

chrome palm
#

are you gaming DN here?

plush roost
#

Ye

chrome palm
#

ambiguous question mb, are you avoiding it i meant*

plush roost
#

Ive kinda come to the conclusion i prefer trickster in that key even tho ds seems logicslly better

#

Ye i do the hold dn shit when smallies come alive

#

Seems not worth lowkey

#

I think boss would die faster if i just played trickster and eviscersted and let others pad aoe

#

Or just played outlaw

chrome palm
#

yeah my only problem with outlaw on that boss

#

is that blade flurry puts me to 10 fps

#

gg

plush roost
#

Haha ye rip

hazy breach
#

Until then probably not

sick basin
#

Does sub require dagger oh? I know assa does but I thought BS only required mh. In a sub/outlaw off spec world is there any reason you couldn't do non dagger oh?

hazy breach
#

Yes you need daggers

#

!oh

wicked joltBOT
#

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

sick basin
#

Ahh

#

Ty

hazy breach
#

You lose a fuckton of your energy/combo points if you use anything else

sick basin
#

Rip the outlaw easy off spec dream

upbeat smelt
#

Which I freaking love

sick basin
#

I do love the mog option for sure

soft summit
#

with deathstalker do we use eviscerate every 3 finishers to reapply the mark in AOE? and if so is there any cut off? like with 20+ mobs its a waste to eviscerate over another bp etc

hazy breach
#

With 4-5 targets

#

Not 20

odd sandal
#

I see in the guide the the macro that has SD,SB and STech, but in the AoE rotation it has a Shadow strike before the ST?

#

But not in the single target.

stoic flower
#

Are we back to ignoring Clear the Witness on Sub?

hazy breach
#

Not much else to do about +50% storm damage

warm marlin
#

any knowers please help, do you lose your sht only after you cast the apex finisher

hazy breach
#

Wdym

#

You dont lose it when it procs

#

You lose it when you cast the finisher ye

warm marlin
#

ya i just havent been on beta in a while

#

ok

plush roost
#

U lose em when ur bar refills after a finisher

warm marlin
#

nah aint no way

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

there actually is another

the mad lad was right! How could he have possibly known? WHAT

warm marlin
north schooner
#

suske insider info

#

imagine having devs who iterate though

graceful rock
#

those dk changes i think were already in beta

#

theyre just coming to prepatch

hazy breach
#

No

#

Theyre completely different

north schooner
#

wait did wowhead post the wrong thing

graceful rock
#

I think they fixed clone maxxing

#

nvm

hazy breach
#

They havent patched it yet im fairly sure

chrome palm
#

that only took the entire beta xdd

#

is fotm wow streamer going to rank us up in the tier list now

hazy breach
#

Its been fixed on live since like a day after prepatch garf_sit

swift tinsel
#

Feeding us scraps we already ate hell yeah

jolly sleet
#

im a bit confused about something : pre midnight the goal for sub was to stack %dmg buffs to build two sec techs during a flag window, which lasted ~20 sec so we were planning ~20sec ahead when we would burst

#

now it feels like we just .. press thing and ennemies die instantly, then we wait for 90 sec.

chrome palm
#

yeah burst is super front loaded, instead of having a ramp

#

and you have little agency over your cds other than basically pressing them when theyre up

jolly sleet
#

right, I was feeling like I was missing something, ty
The fact that I didn't look for damage amp before sec tech is quite disturbing

#

I do dance, but it doesn't feel like i'm an assassin planning an murder, more like I have a nuke button at will which sometimes nukes stronger

chrome palm
#

yeah i preferred having flag because it kinda mentally prepared me to do the burst, im not quite used to just pressing a macro with all of your shit on it and instantly bursting

jolly sleet
#

Yeah that as well, the goal was to unbloat and prune spells that were sent together

#

and now we just send all our spellbook in a macro

chrome palm
#

yeah

#

the change to blades means that consuming premed before activating isnt really important at all

#

like then it would feel a lot, dance->strike->blades-secret

#

instead of macro at max cp

#

maybe it would still be the macro for reasons but

#

idk

quaint lodge
#

i felt like a lot of the effort that goes into preparing sub burst was really fun

#

now its just w/e hit ur buttons

plush roost
#

Was there ever a consensus on sblades .5 after sec tec or just rip that shit raw?

chrome palm
#

was using it after an old optimization or something

hazy breach
#

In midnight i dont really see a point either as youre probably not in dance for that last gcd anyway

#

So having blades on the initial sectech hit is prob more worthwhile

chrome palm
#

i figured it was because some people seemed attached to it

jolly sleet
#

Ah yes I have another question : currently when I blades, I struggle to fit 2 sec tech during blades : I have ~20% haste
Is this a stat issue ? like my laaaast gcd of dance finishes .5 sec before ST is available

woeful wren
#

Is the trinket haste + dance increase just a ping thing on beta? Like doesn't work unless I delay the dance a global or so

hazy breach
#

It kinda only happens during BL

jolly sleet
#

ok nice, I was affraid I was misplaying something

chrome palm
plush roost
#

Nah

chrome palm
#

i mean its always worth it but

#

does it make a difference with secret

swift tinsel
#

do it anyways just to piss off the others that want it

plush roost

Iirc 2% or somethinf eleem was saying

im gonna lose my mind

swift tinsel
#

that would be tragically hilarious if they did that

jolly sleet
viral phoenix
#

ok cool, and for this optimization whats going on here? Is this target count specific or just once per shadow dance or how does this work?

hazy breach
#

Yeah you def cant macro the trinket with dance

lilac stag
#

+1 button. Everyone rejoice

hazy breach
#

Literally everything about it is written there

#

If you can proc the apex, proc the apex

viral phoenix
#

okay I just maybe dont know how the apex talents works then o7

jolly sleet
hazy breach
#

No its less spenders

#

But all of them are apex buffed

jolly sleet
#

aaaaaaa

#

tyvm

#

ok you need to build to trigger apex, which lets you echo your finisher for 50% dmg

woeful wren
#

Btw, out of curiosity do Weaponmaster/Shuriken Tornado clones interact with apex 2?

viral phoenix
#

Can I ask does it have to be shadowstrike? Can it be storm in aoe?

woeful wren
#

So another bug

hazy breach
hazy breach
#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
woeful wren
hazy breach
#

does not buff Shadowed Finishers nor the Apex Clones

#

Every other line smh

woeful wren
#

Another question tho. Since we're playing Lethality, with Planned Exe + Finality 1/2 is crit not > vers? (for m+)

#

We actually have so much + crit dmg

hazy breach
#

In midnight vers is the last stat

#

But you shouldnt be playing planned execution in aoe either on the beta

#

Attack speed too good

woeful wren
#

Hmm. Is the sht gains rly worth the overall loss?

hazy breach
#

Yes getting 25% more sht is worth more than doing ~2.5% more damage

That's absolutely wild

#

everyone thought it was just gonna be tuning from here on out

#

apparently not

frosty fossil
#

Bliz ready with the undo button

#

Do you hope they give us Rogues anything back? 🤔

shrewd lantern
#

what is there to give back

tribal blade
#

i don't think we get back flag or symbols for sure

#

i could see them giving back rupture or a similar dot and then making us play around apex ruptures

shrewd lantern
#

highly doubt they return the spec to being 20 seconds of nuke

#

then afk

#

rupture would have been cool if it still gave sanguinary vein

frosty fossil
shrewd lantern
#

but the way it was "this does more damage over its course than spending the points on evis" is such a shit reason

it's beta man

i don't think anyone cares about beta names

Is it possible to get 2 ST in a SB currently?

Rip pallies

sick jackal
#

Maybe we get nightblade dot back

wild vine
tall girder
#

bring back rupture

vale pine
#

good morning lovely people

lilac stag
#

We’re supposed to be a “burst” spec. The more dot dmg you add, the less bursty the damage profile becomes.

scarlet heath
#

honestly I really liked the Torghast talent that made Shadowstirke apply few secs of rupture

#

was kinda cute

#

but it would probably mean alt tabing if that was a thing so no thx KEK

velvet nova
#

I'd hate to be forced to alt tab during gameplay

scarlet heath
#

oh kekw meant tab targeting lol

sick jackal
#

Tbh I kinda liked the legion version, it was a hard hitting low duration dot that gave %dmg (if i remember correctly)

scarlet heath
#

yes it was dmg amp

sick jackal
#

They could make it like If you have a target with nightblade up you deal %x dmg so we dont aoe dot

sick jackal
#

Like dance uptime is what %40 or smt atm?

quick plume
#

Bring back nightblade, limit to one like caustic spatter, we need buttons

haughty mural
#

and what would that do for you

lilac stag
haughty mural
#

"press" a button once in 30 seconds ?

#

which does not do anything

sick jackal
#

They linearize our dmg with uptime

#

Rework

#

Bursty spec

#

And linearize again with changes

#

Tbh I personally didnt think much about the dots but losing them feels weired atm, like i am missing something

lilac stag
#

uptime has always been important for sub, it was slightly less in s3 since our burst was hyper focused on 90 seconds and damage amps.

#

Prepatch sub and the amount of haste we have isn’t exactly indicative of beta gameplay

sick jackal
#

Maybe make nightblade a optinoal capstone instead of goremaws basicly a shadow dmg linear style and a burst one

#

Like a choice

lilac stag
#

Or just fix goremaws and remove the energy and get off dot fantasy island

haughty mural
#

we really don't have much synergy with dots

lilac stag
#

I get the desire for “we need another button lulz”. Fuck off with the maintenance bullshit dots. omegalul dracthyr_love

sick jackal
#

Not having a single dot effect no matter how big/small it is feels like we are missing something

haughty mural
#

we didnt even have much synergy when rupture was still there

sick jackal
#

Rupture was useless just bloat imo wasnt even thematic

haughty mural
#

and nightblade wouldnt be ?

#

exactly the same ?

sick jackal
#

But nightblade was a dot that felt like sub to me

lilac stag
#

it’s shadowy kekw PlatypusCosplayingAsBeaver

haughty mural
#

moar purple

sick jackal
#

Rupture sucked becouse we had to aoe dot

sick jackal
haughty mural
#

and then you have an 30s maintenance button which does nothing ?

#

right

#

?

sick jackal
#

Sure yeah

lilac stag
#

NB was absolute cancer to play around

#

but go on

haughty mural
#

gimme an idea for synergys and i might consider Cheesin

lilac stag
haughty mural
shrewd lantern
#

nightblade had a damage increase attached to it

#

so it was more prep for burst tbh

haughty mural
#

and prep is kinda a reach

lilac stag
#

We all loved FW change no? Yet we want an on target dmg amp

#

Make it make sense

haughty mural
#

revert FW then while you are at it kekdog

#

we probably dont deserve qol things

lilac stag
#

Just for a button

haughty mural
#

season2 anyway

lilac stag
#

Tier set s2

#

We ride

haughty mural
#

hell yeah

haughty mural
#

and gets a haste scaling

#

because why not Cheesin

sick jackal
snow rune
#

Hi all, i am outlaw player but inam very interested about subtlety. How is he in term of gameplay and dynamisme please ?

scarlet heath
#

at that point it is just rupture with madnatory upkeep buff tbh

snow rune
#

Thx a lot

lilac stag
#

Vibe is the gameplay.

#

We have CDs. Short for the most part.

#

Outlaw doesn’t

lilac stag
#

Just take slice and dice off evis at that point.

haughty mural
#

yeah facts

#

let snd be their maintenance buff

lilac stag
#

A direct damage 40-45 second cd that’s worth pressing (looking at you gwb_uwu ) is the extra button that’s missing. Not a maintenance buff

lilac stag
#

get rid of Danse and replace it with blight

#

if you don’t want to deal with another button take blight & brew

#

choices

#

new ability that instantly makes Sectech usable.

#

idk

#

Just fuck off with the dots. garf_sit

#

Double sectech in dance poggies?

elder saddle
#

We need Death from Above back as a pve cd

haughty mural
#

aaaaaaaand overcooked

bleak night
#

sectec from above

haughty mural
#

DfA was unfortunately a buggy mess

jolly sleet
#

Death from tech

lilac stag
#

Sectech from below, the search for the missing clones.

snow rune
#

@lilac stag Dont understand your point, it's boring?

jolly sleet
#

lets say we get Storm earth fire with shadow clones

#

damage amp

#

woo

jolly sleet
#

so it gets buggy because of pet + because of clones

lilac stag
#

@snow rune I enjoy it

elder saddle
#

A big new finisher around shadow shurikens

lilac stag
#

Everything in this game got simpler. Rogue still has some thinking to it, while just being a vibe

elder saddle
haughty mural
#

the only thing not so vibe-ish

#

is DS

lilac stag
#

We don’t talk about DS

haughty mural
#

and the fact how much i got parried last raid night

lilac stag
#

Haha

haughty mural
#

the first times i just thought i somehow got refunds omegalul

#

but remembered they are not here anymore till apex

lilac stag
#

I have to imagine most specs get some addition flavor come s2 in 6 months once Blizzard is done beta testing raid / addon mechanics and success / failure of gameplay overall

elder saddle
lilac stag
#

Is the same thing every time. they strip it all away (because the foundation is weak) and then add a bunch of crap back which makes it either better or worse omegalul

haughty mural
#

We've been there a lot of times

lilac stag
#

apparently some of us have not kekdog

#

Way better spot now than when we were going into bfa or shadowlands

haughty mural
#

bfa despairge

alpine wraith
#

wod->legion was very very bad

#

also bfa was a bit sad in that they made all the wrong choices with azerite

#

made a banger azerite then buffed it

#

then changed it to some bs

#

and general tuning being low

haughty mural
alpine wraith
#

first dance

#

first iteration was a bit weak seond one was super good

#

then they decided to krangle it up

#

and make it some haste bs

scarlet heath
#

bfa outlaw was peak for me

#

bfa sub was depressing

alpine wraith
#

bfa sub was kinda fun problem was tuning was very low so it "felt" bad

lilac stag
vale pine
#

nv made it somewhat fun

scarlet heath
#

what is nv? hmmCoffee

vale pine
#

basically a spell which gave you the oppotunity to use rupture in a specific way to create burst damage

scarlet heath
snow rune
#

@elder saddle thx

#

@elder saddle there are downtime?

tall girder
#

ive done some thinking dont bring rupture back

lilac stag
snow rune
#

And on beta?

limpid sage
#

it feels so empty without it ;-;

tall girder
#

its better

#

only evis and sectech gaming

lilac stag
snow rune
#

Arf, nothing to press or.hold for generate ressources ?

lilac stag
#

You have generators to press ofc

haughty mural
#

can we make a rupture command which would link to the assa channel ? kekdog

tender dust
#

Guys, if i wanted to check on logs. if i'm pressing enough in my dance windows. how globals does a dance window fit? like whats the max

lilac stag
#

Just try the spec out? It’s rogue. It’s builder spenders with short cds (dance and Sectech).

tender dust
#

damn. so how can i check if i'm doing it properly or not?

haughty mural
#

last night was a vibe btw scath peepohappy

lilac stag
#

Look at the length of dance and count casts / see if you can get another in

tender dust
lilac stag
#

1 second gcd class

tender dust
#

ah oke so 8 cast

#

That makes sense ( sorry i'm new to sub)

lilac stag
#

You’re good

haughty mural
#

if you are playing trickster it can vary

#

since coup is 1.2sec

tender dust
#

Does that remove one cast from it? because of the 1.2?

#

Because you end on 7.2 if 8 second dance

lilac stag
#

Trying to sneak the casts in is why we Sectech first and yes if trickster you have to compute coup

#

Most people playing DS in raid so my bad on assuming that

digital cloud
#

Hi guys, never played Sub before and looking for the spec for midnight. I have some random noob questions - first is why do i read that Deathstalker is better for m+ as from i understand deathstalker mark seems designed for single target?

lilac stag
#

They’re about the same on beta

digital cloud
#

Is there a world where we can be in perma shadow dance, or not?

vale pine
tender dust
digital cloud
#

xD

#

So for a noob, do we agree that basically the basics are : Dance on CD, ST on CD with 6+ combos, pair SD with Shadow blades when its up, and otherwise Shuriken storm / Black powder in AOE, Backstab/eviscerate in single target?

haughty mural
#

you sync dance with sectech because you want to supercharge that

vale pine
#

dance uptime is roughly 48%

#

means you already spend every 2nd gcd in dance kinda

digital cloud
#

And, do i need to build 6+ combo points before getting into dance so i dance+ST immediately?

lilac stag
#

0 cp or 6+ cp going into dance

tender dust
lilac stag
digital cloud
neon pond
#

Good morning guys. I have 2 quick questions regarding sub rotation. so I noticed it's advised to use SD while on low cp (1 or less) but since we have sd + st macroed together is this a net loss in dmg? would it be a gain to use sd with lowcp in comparison to go for 6cp before sd to sd + st ? I hope the question makes sense for u.
And second one is regarding vanish? We just vanish on cd while we have our sd downtime, or am I wrong on this one?

snow rune
#

Do we use rupture ?

neon pond
#

we dont have rupture

snow rune
#

No more? Snifff

haughty mural
vale pine
#

also flagellation, shuriken tornado, cold blood and symbols of death (and tea if we are honest)

bronze turret
#

So is rogue perfect nowv

#

Since i look at notes every week and there’s never any updates

vale pine
#

(all spells i mentioned are passive or removed)

#

absolutely

red vortex
#

we chilling KEKW

vale pine
#

best iteration of the game, lovely gameplay loop, with a lot of depth and skill expression so people are all happy

bronze turret
#

Bugfixes are rarely displayed in notes

vale pine
#

same with addons, the addon api is perfect

bronze turret
vale pine
#

i should have added /s to everything ^^

neon pond
vestal escarp
vale pine
#

the problem currently is:

  • bugs
  • apex design
#

essentially, you get ressoruce flooded, which means we put damage > ressource economy

#

leads to gameplay like ignoring shadowcraft procs (kinda)

#

or cancleaura macros

#

but i don't think blizz wants both in a gameplay loop, so wouldn't be surprised if apex was changed/reworked a bit

vestal escarp
#

12.1

#

The great sub apex rework

haughty mural
vale pine
#

low cp is typically a bit better, but you can in general use both on low and high cp

#

the main reason to use secret first gcd is to not lose out on casts

#

so you can macro secret + dance and use that to get your first gcd asap

#

storm first gcd is a bit diffrent

#

it is in general worse than strike

digital cloud
#

Could you guys explain how we play around Shadow techniques to a noob please? 😄

vale pine
#

but not by much

#

the idea is the same

haughty mural
#

thats the not so simplified version

vale pine
#

because we get often only marginal longer dance from haste

#

using storm + dance in a macro can give you just enough time to fit every gcd

#

now you might ask yourself

tender dust
#

How long are the dances with the 40% haste on beta atm?

vale pine
#

🤔 but why don't we macro strike

neon pond
#

tbf

#

I was wondering that

#

u are completely right lol

haughty mural
#

because it doesnt work

vale pine
#

thats, because its not possible anymore, it was in the past but was changed at some point

haughty mural
vale pine
#

you need two key presses if you macro strike + dance together

#

which introduce delays

neon pond
#

sadge

red vortex
#

by that logic

vale pine
#

it is in a sense a design problem

red vortex
#

isnt it always better to enter dance with 6+

#

and macro sectec

vale pine
#

well either that

alpine wraith
#

if sec tech is off cd

vale pine
#

or storm

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

you dance even if low cp

#

just strike

red vortex
#

yea but like

#

the whole gcd logic

vale pine
#

both trade of a evry small amount of dps

#

to secure the extra gcd

red vortex
#

for to not lose out on casts

vale pine
#

because losing the gcd is way more costly

#

to mention this too

#

technically, you won't alwys have these tight haste values

neon pond
#

ok - followup question would lowering sqw make any difference?

vale pine
#

so its not always "best" to use the macro

#

you want to cast back to back

#

so your spell queue should be as high as possible

#

not low

#

lower spell queue = higher possibility to introduce delays

lilac stag
#

as a reminder. Simple 2 button spec. garf

haughty mural
#

but muh rupture

vale pine
#

😠 4 button spec

neon pond
#

gotchu - ty for answering my questions guys!

lilac stag
vale pine
#

can reduce it to 4 buttons

lilac stag
#

Goremaw S2 tier set giving us 8.

#

If you want to macro everything and complain about buttons be my guest.

red vortex
#

4 (5 if macro)

#

banger

vale pine
#

if you want to keep things seperate

#

can go up to 6

#

how do you get to 7 or 8?

lilac stag
#

2 builders, 2 spenders, 3 CDs. +1 goremaws

vale pine
#

keeping blades seperate too?

snow rune
#

@vale pine arf...

north schooner
#

gwb_uwu mentioned HOLY

lilac stag
#

Those are literally the base spells. What you want to macro is entirely up to you.

haughty mural
#

i have the most things seperate

red vortex
#

i mean, i have blades seperate

haughty mural
#

but i do like piano

red vortex
#

i have everything seperate

#

tbf

vale pine
#

strike/bs (1), storm(2), secret(3), evis(4), bp(5), dance(6), blades(7) i guesss

#

can also seperate strike/bs

#

to add +1

haughty mural
#

even pot and trinket

north schooner
#

and jump

lilac stag
#

New haste trinket back to being delayed.

#

So no macro there

vale pine
#

ye

red vortex
#

can macro step with dance too

vale pine
#

thats already a bit F

lilac stag
#

but we all want buttons

#

Do we not?

haughty mural
#

only if it is rupture garf_sit

#

else macro everything ofc

tender dust
#

But if you use the macro with sectec in it. you always make sure you go max CP right. otherwise you screwed

ebon fjord
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

6 is fine too

scarlet heath
#

I see people complaining about buttons a lot

just make Strike our only generator and Evis does splash damage, surely we happy now?

vale pine
tender dust
#

yeah i meant 6+

scarlet heath
#

2 button spec

haughty mural
#

people want 1 button with everything macroed and a second button with rupture

#

it seems

lilac stag
#

Gnome Sequencer approach

mighty citrus
scarlet heath
#

also merge shadow blades and shadow dance, only 1 big cooldown

#

stonks

lilac stag
#

We also want FW independent of a target, and an ability to debuff a specific target. dracthyr_shrug

digital cloud
#

Guys is there a way to have one button for Shadowstrike / Backstab depending on stealth./not stealth?

tender dust
torn tide
digital cloud
haughty mural
#

because every 5 minutes someone comes in here and complains about missing rupture

lilac stag
willow bobcat
#

rupture? I never even met her

lilac stag
#

Thank gods for my insomnia tonight

torn tide
#

if people want rupture they should go play assassin fr, theyll be pressing rupture like nuts

lilac stag
#

Well. Maybe they’re salty at more CT presses

scarlet heath
#

I think we should also get another bleed ability that becomes empowered from stealth and then AoE spell to spread those bleeds

digital cloud
#

Could someone explain to a noob how to play around shadow techniques please?

torn tide
#

only use it when in shadow dance

#

thats it

scarlet heath
#

shadow technique aint secret technique tho

torn tide
#

oh fuk i read that wrongly

digital cloud
#

Yeah shadow techniques passive hehe

torn tide
#

my bad

digital cloud
#

no problem sir

vale pine
#

one is a dot you can optimize around

#

the other thing is a debuff you have limited control over

lilac stag
vale pine
#

oh

#

okay

#

i thought rupture itself

torn tide
#

btw is there a limit on how many targets black powder hits? ive never actually seen it

lilac stag
#

it’s been a fun 2 hours fuu

#

Good morning

haughty mural
red vortex
#

so yes

#

;/s

vagrant fulcrum
#

Wat

lilac stag
#

A is rupture on Assa omegalul

#

We’ve gone full circle

vagrant fulcrum
#

Hold on a minute ain’t arrow keys on the right side on the keyboard

red vortex
#

sure are

#

and so is my mouse

vagrant fulcrum
haughty mural
#

depends how you turn the keyboard

lilac stag
#

You move keeb full left of desk

haughty mural
vagrant fulcrum
#

Is the kb upside down

red vortex
#

well if u have that razor mouse with 12 buttons

#

you could pull it off

vagrant fulcrum
#

Actually real

red vortex
#

4 button spec anyweay

red vortex
#

or that

vale pine
#

its the funniest wow thing in existence

lilac stag
#

This may beat kb turning

haughty mural
digital cloud
#

We dont use slice and dice in deathstalker? I might be blind but i dont see any interaction

haughty mural
red vortex
#

auto

#

when u use evis

digital cloud
#

thanks sir

haughty mural
#

it was another memery

lilac stag
#

it’s fun how you can shoot down changes with other changes that were good

digital cloud
# red vortex it applies

in aoe situations should i still use eviscerate to have the buff? it doesnt seem that BP applies S&D

lilac stag
digital cloud
#

Alright i get it, basically you'll never find yourself ina situation where you simply Shurkien / BP without having already S&D rolling

tender dust
#

@vale pine if you had like really high haste how long is dance on beta?

lilac stag
#

Have to wait for actual release to figure out where/when it would be worth just to force an evic

digital cloud
#

And sorry to ask again but if someone could reply to me about the Shadow technique passive, i'd appreciate it ❤️

haughty mural
#

also as Trickster you'll press your Coup and as deathstalker your darkest night if you need/want prio

#

which will also give/extend s&d

digital cloud
lilac stag
#

4 maybe off as well. I forgot what Eleem mentioned

#

You’re not necessarily looking at dance as a time, you’re looking at it as how many gcds can I fit.

tender dust
#

4 extra globals in dance damn

#

but 1564 haste is what? around 30-40% haste?

lilac stag
#

have to log on beta to look.

#

On live at 80 483 haste is roughly 37%

vale pine
tender dust
#

oh thought it woulda bveen more

sand gyro
#

heyo, havent played sub in a while, with how many targets we press shuriken storm and blkack as trickster?

lilac stag
#

stat squish was a thing

sand gyro
#

ty

tender dust
# lilac stag That a lot.

Yeah but 1564 haste in the picture you send and 37% is 438 haste. then you wouldnt even get a second global in dance? or am i seeing that wrong

vale pine
lilac stag
lilac stag
#

Live

tender dust
#

ah but that is gonna be a lot less when we get gear in midnight

#

i hate that emoticon

lilac stag
#

Well you get a thumbs up

#

Rather a middle finger? kekdog

tender dust
#

hahaha but sure bud sound so sarcastic to me lol

lilac stag
#

I ignore the labels garf_sit

red vortex
iron whale
#

so um... are you guys enjoying sub in prepatch?

#

because honestly, I thought I was excited for the changes and I generally like less bloating but

#

feels so fucking boring and the wpvp experiences I had were so miserablew

placid elk
#

i don't, it makes me sad

iron whale
#

Shadowstrike and Secret Technique being 2 out of 3 CORE abilities now and sharing the exact same animation

#

looks so repetitive and visually BORING, jesus fuck

placid elk
#

you could go ret paladin now, its harder to play

#

oh how far we have fallen

iron whale
#

yeah it's literally 3 button now

red vortex
#

We are 4

placid elk
#

i hope its undertuned to shit so it sees no play

#

can't believe im saying this but buff outlaw

#

at least that one still feels like rogue
