I literally
I am not even kidding, I haven't seen a single sub rogue around
I MEAN TBH, not even a single rogue
and I play in the most populated EU server
we're going thinner than Evokers here
where are the people saying "we got 2 more months bro just wait its gonna be good"
were there any undocumented bug fixes atleast?
If anything, having it being really good so the gameplay gets more attention by the community would maybe help
1 documented from fatebound
Iirc
what do you prefer?
engaging gameplay with decent tuning
vs
boring gameplay with gigabuffed tuning?
do you guys really just don't care about visuals btw?
i mean i am in the minortiy going from discussion in here and in the sub midnigth channel
i like gameplay depth
wtf are these ppl recieving a paycheck for?
and blizz removed a lot that added depth
many refer to it as unessecery bloat
or redundant
yep. i remember spending days to master opener during some patches, it was super fun.
i think a lot of people reached a breaking point with the class, a bit maybe. midnight killed sub for me personally - the spec had issues with how it was designed but erasing it all to make it a 3 button spec was not the way to go tbh.
What’s the reason to bring a sub into any group? Let’s assume the tuning makes sub land in the middle of the pack. Who would pick this over literally any other dps with raid buffs and more utility? Sub at least had a ton of depth and insane levels of skill expression allowing for truly the highest burst, now it’s mostly gone 
just out of my head, all these talents got chanegd to have no or lower gameplay impact anymore:
Secret Technique(1), Shadow Dance(2), Symbols of Death(4), Rupture(5), Flagellation(6), Nimble Flurry(7), Shuriken Tornado(8), Backatsb/Strike(9), Thistle tea(10), Fianllity(11), Dance Macabre(12), Cold Blood(13), Death Perception(14), Rotten(15), Replicating Shadows(16), Improved Ambush(17)
you could add more hero talent stuff to it, especially a lot of deathstalker, but i would lable them as qol updates
There are also new things added, mainly shadow dance was changed from having cdr to extended duration based on haste (and apex)
apex talents, which mainly increase your combo point income and give you shadowcart refunds back, which prior ended up part of shadowcraft itself
The bottom line is, there was a lot of effort put into removing gameplay impact, and only a few new things got added
there is also still a lot of complexity left in talents, even tho that does not mean there is a big gameplay impact
this logically means, you don't have as much opportunities to find optimizations, and there is in general a decrease in agency/dynamic.
It isn't a bad change, its just a dramatically diffrent game now, and there are just new standards. We will see how these new ones appeal to existing players and just how much they improve the game for new ones
I love how people seem to think this is exclusive to rogue. 
Go play something else. Come back or don’t. The game has changed significantly going into midnight. If it’s not enjoyable stop playing.
I don't think its that simple
Midnight does not only change gameplay, it re-designs content, addons, etc
I don't think its easy to judge before seeing the complete picture
That would be the ^significant* part
People losing it over prepatch. Season 1 gonna be rough as well
wow would be down to only the most nerdy hardcore fans
because just objectively seen
the amount of problems, not only in gameplay or addons, but in quality of service are so bad, no sane person would stick with the product
I’m got my hand over the cancel subscription just due to accessibility. So it really is that easy. You can quit.
The sooner you come to terms that your 4D chess specs are gone, the sooner you can see if there’s anything you still enjoy and if it’s worth it
my point is, we are currently in a transition phase between the old and new standard
Judging everything on prepatch gaming is certainly a take. Not a good one, but that’s never stopped anyone.
Negative social media posts / vids get more traction anyways
and given that:
- Gameplay is incomplete (missing apex, no content thats designed around the new standard)
- Addon api's are incomplete, and the entire addon economy is reset (takes time to re-build)
- Performance and quality control problems (potentially due to the massive amount of changes, but could very well be because of a lack of quality)
- ...
The bugs being so numerous last 2-3 tiers def adds a dark cloud to all of it
You probably need to wait for Midnight to release and give it a month or so to stabalize before you understand and experienced the new system enough to make a decision
The .5 patch likely
or well, you can make a decision at any time, but i think the majority just waits and sees like that
What is that 6-8 weeks into release?
Whens the first raid poppin after release
release cylce ended up 6 months
2 weeks hm
33% 10.0
33% 10.5
33% 10.7
We have 2 weeks to fully submerge into the game chances before raid pops off
The 12.0.5 I’m talking about
I think the raid split has a diffrent purpose
They nailed housing for the most part. Eventually we have to see what goes live with raid
and we will likely only see it for the first tier
S2 I think is where people will feel better about the specs
possible
Splitting raid has the potential to lower hype for rwf
my theory is, that the first raid is more a testing ground
Imagine its a 36 hour raid for first wing and we just afk for 5-6 days for last 2 bosses
so having it split allows for more time to tune sections
Nah. Just means they can do different splits including some mythic with boss schedule
Yea but splits and waiting is the death of viewership
because realistically, so much change and simplification makes it incredibly difficult to make a raid that
meets the expectations set by blizz
which means
Think ffxiv ultimate raids
"overall difficulty on par with current raids"
we are used to adapt to the weirdest shit since years rotationalwise, which made the spec plays kinda scuffed. i dont see simplifing things can be the reason for somebody to enjoy the game or not. isnt it more about world and raiddesign, dungeons etc? not about the buttons we press in the end? this again is artificial elitism, mostly kicked off by people who couldnt even handle the "more complex" rotations in an raid environment
Incredibly complex puzzle mechanics with very clear mechanics that are very hard to learn
it depends
everyone plays the game for diffrent reasons
Ffxiv classes are so simple bm hunter is seen as hard there
so having rupture or not can be a gamebreaker? if that is the case, people should not play games like wow 😄
released a simialr simplification xpac/patch more recently
But the ultimate raids are literally weeks long (sometimes) 16 hour days with 5-6 phases of complex changing mechanics
Ffxiv released the simplication patch recently and the overall gameplay was butchered ngl
Is sub easier to play since pre-patch? and how does it compare to other specs?
and it was overall a net negative to the game, with from what i was told quite a fallout of players
Repeat
People will enjoy the new outlaw. The vocal majority in the outlaw channel won’t because it changed. Same can be said about sub.
The thing was ffxiv had very complex classes and very easy ones balanced out
Now theyre all easy
i mean, in the end its an rpg
Trying to get into rogue but trying to work out which spec will give me the best perf with the least learning curve initially lol
So it was a massive hit to end game
Assa
even if they remove every button and only make you auto attack
It’s the most forgiving
@dusk hamlet ngl bro sub rogue currently has the learning curve of a carpet
Story isnt the current reason of wow
and tbh, wow is fairly mid or below mid in terms of that
Probably lol - I'm used to furry warrior where press button that glows
Wow had an insane story before
need to actually somewhat think what i'm spending on with combo points
But slowly the game molded into end game chasing
Optimization
Addins
Kitchen sink
Story wasnt the point , is the raid fun , am i having fun doing end game content, and what do i have to do to stay relevant
Assa is strict cd timings. Get dots up. Press envenom a lot.
Sub is short cds, that you’re trying to stack and you need some focus on when to align them. You have 2 builders / 2 spenders.
Outlaw is the highest APM, mostly builder spender with a flatter damage profile.
it was basically the outstanding feature of wc3 that seperated it from other rts
They stripped down requirements to stay relevant last expac , they are stripping class ingenuity , and if the raid is a failure the fall out will be worse then anything weve seen
To me subs current pacing feels like s3 fury, but with burst.
Outlaw would be more traditional fury
The raids have to built in a puzzle way now
They have no choice
No more addons telling you to stand on point a
can have a human tell you now ^^
But “ what do these mechanics mean “
You can have an addon tell you to goto a marker still
thats a lot of ifs right? tww raids were fine imo. even raids before were okay as well. when i look back, there were only a few raids which i did not like. most of them were good
does the majority want puzzels?
No screw puzzles lol
i don't think midnight raids will excite you
Puzzle mechanics in my opinion are the most fun a raid can be
i wanna beat the shit out of a boss 😄
Enjoy FF then
so you absolutely can't make super intricate puzzles
I agree it wont be intricate but what will be the selling point of raids if 1. Classes are stripped down , 2. Healing is nerfed (less dmg going out ) 3. Raids become simpler
wow raiding has never been about puzzle solving unless you do the meta quests for the raid achievement / mount
Wow raids used to be pretty cool
raid design also changes a lot
this opens the door to new players i think
which it is about
getting into wow with no xp and want to raid properly
was very difficult
e.g. legion had a lot of soak and pass/fail mechanics
blizz officially stated they won't do many pass fail mechanics anymore because its bad design
last 2 xpacs are full of pass/fail mechanics

Hmm i would say they will have to balance the dps checks very harshly
While making mechanics tough( not impossible) to maintain uptime in
i am not talking dps checks
This allows heroic raids to be simple
but mechanics where one individual mistake is fatal to the raid
Thats alot of mythic raids currently no ?
the later bosses typically yes
If an important mechanic is failed in a mid level + boss its usually cookdd
They could introduce dps dampener mechanics
and they are sometimes quite tight
One thing i like about ff is theyll let you hit enrage but if you die and get rezzed or fail a mechanic you lose main stat
But that would be a nightmare to balance for em
Theyre already struggling balancing dmg as is
the best feature of ff, you could import to wow is checkpoints on bosses
one question, did you raid mythic on a ce level recently in wow?
Checkpoints ? You mean door bosses or queuing system
to be fair death is functionally the same in wow too, losing all your buffs / stacks etc does functionally translate to x% less dmg
so you don't need to do the first 8 minutes of a boss over and over
Nexus King was a banger of a fight. The visuals just needed to be better and that was all sorts of pass/fail checks
and even with resses if the check is tight you will fail it from deaths
i see
@vagrant fulcrum the dps loss in ffxiv is pretty much youre done for
game design is just not easy
Its not
like a HARD wipe ye?
iirc that game has serious dps checks and a few dps bring global dmg amps for their group
Like a massive amount of players are stuck at 0.1-5% enrage on a current boss this raid
Came out a few weeks ago
im guessing they can't out-gear it
They can now
or are they still progressing gear
But not possible early
This explains why you’re upset. 
ultimate has no gear progression
The majority of high level dps gear is trapped behind the last 2 bosses
Sorry i was talking about rhe current savage raid
Ultimate is just if you fk up we all die and have to do this 16 minute fight agaib
ultimate sounds like mythic penultimate/end bosses
Its like dimensius combined with 5 other last bosses
Its hit or miss how difficult they are
I've heard it's harder but then I'd retort that passing a check with 8 people is a lot easier than with 20 morons
Some take weeks some take days
I would say the hardest in history of ff is the dragon saga boss
6 phases with time dilation mechanics and memorization patterns from 10 minutes ago
Nothing id expect wow to do
for me the combat in ff just didn't feel as responsive as WoW when I tried it a while back, maybe I shoulda played a caster though
Im just hoping the raid will be fun now that classes arent really “ fun “
@vagrant fulcrum your ping sucked probably
mostly its about being concentrated for 20 minutes. i did dragonsong ultimate back then and the mechanics were not tooooo crazy, but you really needed to be awake to pass all that.
20 ping is a requirement
sorry rather watch Netflix while reclearing
So if you dont have 20 ping you download something that fakes your 20 ping for you
I suspect it mighta been my pc back then, it was overheating to shit from ff which is ultimately why I put the game on hold - might retry it in s1 midnight off-season
I think forgeweaver last raid was a great balance of puzzle mechanics / team work / dps check
combat is one of the weak points of FF
@vagrant fulcrum next ultimate is coming
it is why a lot of players who tested it did come back to wow fast
i think all of it is fine to exist, but wow is wow and ff is ff right
but wow combat got worse now too
@vale pine gotta play a hard class
sooo
i play wow over ff for a reason so yeah
issue with it is getting to endgame takes infinite time iirc, I remember a friend of mine had like 200 hrs on main quest and still hadn't finished it / granted he watched cutscenes
I'd need wow to be quiet to play ff i think
@vagrant fulcrum i paid for that shit i aint doing 400 hours of story
Same. and if it’s to the point I lose enjoyment or physically can’t because of accessibility I’ll be sad, but I’ll survive.
based
Well tbh i feel like if you frankesteined the top 3 rpgs together and picked the best from each
It would be an insane mmo
and in terms of numbers wow wins i guess
all I remember is the bunny ears chick
Yea ffxiv recent expansion literally blew up the game
heck did she even have bunny ears
Shiii they hot ngl
why not the blind priest girl
which left being a priest
Real end game of ff is mogs anyway
this chick
erp
They kinda nasty over there
and nasty is the nice word
Oh das a cat girl bro
if you play ff and join any discord
you will see dicks
on dudes and chicks
wether you want or not
Well heres to hoping wow doesnt die
it wont
Wow playerbase was falling slowly
cause we are all addicts
I wouldn't know how to take statements on the game state in the discord of the least played class in the channel of the least played spec


You act like every class aint the same now
Just use different icons on the bm hunter priority list
Or ret paladin list and its da same
Im not talking about that at all
Subs when up from 2024 to 2025 
they have enough going between retail, classic, hardcore
Bro i played holy pala last raid man
Yall subs so annoying
Why i gotta using BOS on yall
poor you
Erhm can you please use BOS at exactly 3:19 so i line up my burst
(when its not :D)
bro doesn’t like the teamwork aspect of wow raiding. 
There is no team work in wow da fuq
Thats not team work thats feeding da baby
That’s called killing the adds for a dps check
and here we are again at unnecessary elitism
which perfectly verifies my point about that there is no problem for most of people making things easier
only for a few "chosen ones"
guess the hpal discord didn’t have enough to complain about with this, so they’re spreading love here.
Naw i quit hpal when dimmy died
so you weren’t even doing BoS after the first kill then
Can’t imagine why
someone got back from vacation and decided to nuke everything
idk class identity is kinda like graffiti nothing wrong with reverting stuff if the spirit of the design gets lost
unless no one wanted what they came from. 
sub rogue class identity is now respecing to outlaw
tho we still dont have the numbers, right?
I’ll enjoy my short burst windows.
title of ur sextape
i actually fckin reconsidered the retirement, and coming back to raid in Midnight, but just cant make myself finding all the fckin addons
weak aura loss was just too big
Let it settle
is kinda like this but ye how you shape the words that spell bleach or define hpal etc
Just wait till midnight 1 week before raid
Addons will be fixdd
You only really need CDM and nameplates
Elvui will work, everyone will have a better cdm.
apex talents 
A resource bar
but also if you got out? Good on you
Wow your UI is set
yea but actually no, id anyway lose a lot of QoL was which i was writing for myself
Hey all, i am currently almost exclusively playing Assa, but want to poke my head into Sub, how important are the stats? Since all my gear is currently tuned for Assa... I can craft rings and belt if needed. Happy for advice/info 
silly example but WA warnings that my big cds will be off cd in like 10sec
dunno how to get that one
npcs in range counter bleed tracker for assassin and the talent to rapidly cooldown stuff out of combat for outlaw
s'fine enough
I still don’t know what it’s going to be like for me without the audio WA’s. I get it. 
Im pretty sure the cdm has an audio reminder feature for essential cooldowns
hey is any of subs abiltys phys? run phys comp with hates and wonded if i could play it still
yea i was writing audio warnings as well, found nice ai text to speech tools which id inlude in custom wa audios
it does but for the exact moment cd expires
NK reclears are nightmare fuel. I can’t see shit. Hoping for better visuals in mn.
which is, i guess the next best thing
Ah i see that isnt ideal
oh and uh trinkets should be able to be tracked in cdm
large flub not being able to isolate those buffs
Why track when macrod to sblades 8)
so should findweakness 
:b
The delay is back on the haste trinket
So ive heard haha
also i had like visual progress bar for dance, it helped when i need to connect 2 dances without wasting globals
+1 button
Iirc in prepatch you need 30%+ haste for st and 15% roughly for aoe, since we dont have apex talents
We nevwr lost flag!!!
The sub faq section should have more details
thats a rich request mate 😄
It’s prepatch. It don’t matter. Hit 30-35% haste and call it a day
we still have flag what
What?
lets minmax for 1min fights
Forge and Projector going to do more for you than another 10% haste
He asked about stats importance, i told him aproximate values and a place to look for the exact ones
Should have i told him its prepatch, who cares or...?
Use dslice would be proper answer for m+
why are numbers so high
my sims want me at 30 there. Not what is stated as a general guide
my bad, read it wrong
sorry mate
More globals in dance
i remember when fdk had similar gameplay, when u wanted like 27% haste for an extra global during pillar
It was 25%, the extra 2% was to make it playable for humans
but 30-35 seems a bit too much
We like haste breakpoints
Who is we? Is we among us?
There’s no too much. It’s balancing everything out and can you get x amount of extra globals during the time we do our damage
btw sad thing is if i come back to midnight i wont even consider sub just bc i hate that kind of gameplay
I mean it’s basically TWW with the extra cd stacks stripped away.
Outlaw will have its haste points
Assa will just 111111 envenom
assa would feel better with 2 kingsbane charges
yea, if im gonna be autopilot raiding, assa the best
you desync based on how fast your tank pulls which feels griefy even for a dot spec
So you can AA poisons more? 
true but outlaw always kinda fancied haste
No?
Auto attack all your poison applications
vers, crit and haste were outlaws bread and butter, what do u mean no 😄
oh i was like amp blank lol
feels lol that most of our changes are in midnight
I see, so if haste is okay, I am good.
Thank you very much 
Thats only bc of the adr gcd changes, before that it was 0% haste
You weren’t breakpointingit like they did recently. It was crit vers and avoid mastery
haste wasn’t exactly desired until adr changed
also assa doesn't feel that bad in aoe, venomous wounds etc 
assa feels bad everywhere. 
true, breakpoints are the worst
jk assa is assa and is fine
ye the apply distance for crimson tempest is a lil low though
just ask a dk to use grubby hands
You all just got used to the unethical range of caustic

which CDM do we try this morning 🤔
dont worry bp has also some fake range
it hits so far sometimes you dont believe
meanwhile nimble makes you an ass sniffer
cries in trying to cleave in p1 dimmy
Its not one extra global, its ~4
Thats why the number is high
there should be a surrender to madness eternal test
so people could feel my pain of rogue getting shit leggos and having to play that shit
Man how come there’s not a singular rogue change with last tuning
the best one is when you see the assa changes and the outlaw ones
and then there is
wait a second
but surely they are fixing bugs in their internal servers because they did fix blades and apex 2 with sec tech
so maybe before second raid sec tech works with apex 1 and 3 on the second clones
so we get 6 sht on cast
on apex
Will apex 2 still work? 
best thing sub is good for in prepatch is making sure other classes always have cds lined up 
hit simmed dps in a 19 halls yesterday with a udk and fury warrior lol
@azure thicket runny tricky or ds?
tricky keep meaning to try ds but played outlaw today
was going ask how annoyed you were with mark.
gonna open up dead space 3 in a bit and have a fit
i figure exploding permacasters like obliterators might be the play it sounds like more prio than trickster
trickster prio would be closer if the random unseen from storm was on main target
“Friction” or something
Ass sniffer you say 
@keen dome I think I got the colors where I want them, ended up making my own texture
what do u guys use for poison traker ? i mean when u need to refresh the buff
How do you feel about the yellow cooldown texture
not a fan, seeing what options there besides arcui. everything is just missing like 1-2 things
@tender dust like cdcentered is nice and simple, but lacking stuff like hiding buffs when not active
There is a addon that removes the yellow stuff and makes it look like the elvui icons which imo is better
yeah there's a number of ways to do it, including masque
Thanks !
it does this. you can set the warning time
if you play alts its nice for the group buffs as well
So coming back to wow, haven't played since BFA, I have been playing for about 4 or 5 months. I really like what they did to crafting. And I'm trying to choose between leather working and blacksmithing.
I'm thinking that they're working is going to be more useful in the long run, easier to farm since everybody is going to be going nuts for nodes.
But in the end finding two weapons at the highest level is probably going to be the most important for my DPS.
well the nice thing is you can get crafts from anyone on your server
I mostly going to be playing solo I don't really have any friends right now that play so focusing on delves and m+
alchemy is the only thing to my knowledge that still has benefits in pve
The extra healing from potions?
try to find a m+ guild or you can use /trade to find crafters. you can also level an alt for one or both of those and send to your alt
flask duration
No just longer flasks, but thats just saving money as well
Effectively just 50% cheaper flasks
alchemy also usually has a big upfront cost at the start
but tbh they all do
it's an arms race for recipes
i wouldnt base too much of your gear choices on profession equipment
Professions only serve to make or save money
you would think it makes sense to, but it doesnt
Hmn lol now you got me more lost
But I was thinking about alchemy when I was going to main assassination
enchanting is nice for disencanting gear as you replace it, engineering has some fun toys and repair options. alchemy has longer flasks. everything else is just to make money
All right cool I really appreciate the feedback
the knockback on the engineering belt is more tank oriented but always wanted to run it
if something speaks to you, run with it. i like seeing my crafters name on my dagger (which i'm now not using) 
rocket fuel for running
cause you werent there when those crafts costed like 50k, son
still remember those 33% chance for R5
saw one rogue with the auto healing potion in the top 100 parses for some raid boss in s2 tbh
guess what they'll cost in 5 weeks
they did a better job with concentration, the alt army shit needs to go
which idk if that's possible or not
warband wide concentration 

its actually shame we lost rupture wth all this haste now 😄
Yeah I did that. Also like the idea of being able to come up with swords and daggers if I want to play outlaw ever. Just that I know that weapons lots upgrade s are more important for DPS, and I'm thinking about all this gear I can get from the vault or mplus or delve, just not getting the weapons drops that I need.
I'm also not rolling on the dough so I don't know how much buying I'll be able to do in the end game
i mean if u find a guild with crafters, probably just mats
and mats are way cheaper now
in gneral best piece of adivce is try to find a new to wow or social m+guild
it just opens up resources to you
also token is like 400k+ gold so...
sell one and ud be good for the expansion i guess
You can also change them around. Like go herbing and disenchanting while leveling. Save or sell mats. Etc
Or mining and whatever
Yeah that's true but you do lose all progression right when you change professions?
you do, but it also wont matter if you're changing permanently to something else
Hello guys noob question. Im learning Sublety in beta and idk which ability goes 1st and which 2nd between secret technique and shadow dance
True
Check out the SUB FAQ pinned here. But is dance first.
Also looks like making a macro is the way to go.
thx u buddy!
Shadow dance and then secret. #subtlety-faq

So quick question can weapons have both enchants and embellishments?
Weapons can be enchanted, have mana oils / attack power stones & poisons
But like this for example done while crafting, he can still have its own enchant and all the other stuff?
Looking at MMO-Champion, it was put back in in the newest beat build
a what?
Certainly was not

Also you can't change crafted gear into set pieces right?
What part of that makes you think sub is getting rupture back
bro be looking at SL notes
cool, we gettin Sepsis back too
They updated the tooltip for assa
This is why datamined stuff is pointless
Look at the blizzard notes instead

oh, well it was weird because it shows it under rogues, then shows again under assasination
my bad
and wonder where rogue is 
i figured they don't bother filtering/adding exceptions to spec abilities cause specs already determine usable stuff
shadowblades can technically affect mutilate etc
but y'know 
thats from the Torghast days
although maybe if they did they could reduce input delays
when u could get all cds
oh really?
maybe
idk the way it's done stuff that modifies talents can occasionally break
pally bubble taunt comes to mind
why not give prot pal a separate version of bubble as baseline etc
Likely yes
the powers were fun and had a lot of overlap at times
Because then it will accidently break when they do other changes right
Dang I was really looking forward to shadow clone ruptures 
Like if they want to reduce the duration of bubble, but then they only apply it to the hpala version for example and not the ret/prot
(just like how our shadowed and apex eviscerates are seperate from the regular eviscerate and needs to manually be added, and its almost always forgotten about)
i guess they didnt hear about inheritance as one of the oop principles
ye faster/safer to tweak the talent instead of the base ability
like just have base class named bubble and then override it as hpal_bubble
it's literally about as common as that outlaw bug where you could lose subterfuge for pressing between the eyes too fast
which was like 1/500 levels of common on outlaw not so much on prot pal
Boys, is sub a downtime spec like sin, now?
Wait. What do u mean by downtime spec
sometimes you do be stand and auto attack like that
this is the peak performance of sub
and i will miss it forever.
(r1 log btw)
iykyk
feint most op defensive
I laughed at myself when i trained it on vanilla classic
it was up for every mechanic on our dim CE kill
i took 0 dmg compared to everyone else

for its cost, cooldown, and two stacks it truly is the most insane defensive
i think it was more balanced when it was on the GCD
but i love it being off the GCD

at least it still costs energy, even tho i wouldn't even consider that a downside as sub
idk about outlaw
not causing the healer to spontaneously combust is pretty balanced

i mean sometimes not feinting is the play
as a treat
not running cheat death on soul hunter prog is lmao
till you need to press it in dance
I do think feint costing energy is still weird af
AMs is also borderline OP or IB and doenst havea cost either
sure - DKs are also pretty special and unkillable
dK ignoring every fucking mechanic
This is absolutely sick, man. Owns
This is fine
I can send the sensei stuff if you want
I'm happy with mine but I will keep it in mind!
I have to host the textures someplace
Unitframes are mostly done.
I’m happy with resources.
Still churning through cdm mods
yo is it bad that im getting like 121% mastery in dungeons
it feels so unbalanced kinda
they're as endless as they are buggy
so I'm just done trying with them for a while lol
also bruh another server shutdown
bugsack and bugcatcher have kept platynator and ice hud working
weird that ice HUD can't track casts anymore even though platy works fine
state of blizzard is tonight i think, should be a fun stream
is simcraft still dead?
We have any combat text add-ons yet?
I actually never get lua errors from platynator
arc ui and tweaks though are bugged to shit
Blizzard Default UI 

fucking thing pops errors on its own
trying to see void meta stacks and soul number with blizz default UI would be my 13th reason
dude I swear blizz ui throws the most errors for me
Moneyframe lua error
I got the resources in a happy place @swift tinsel
moneyframe
bricks all gear tooltips for me
niceu
Is it because i sit at 9999999 gold?
Ended up doing a custom texture based off skullflower
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE?

with the moneyframe rerors?
what teh fuck man, i hate that bugsacker just in my face
perma
cus i have too much gold
there's an addon that fixes the bag error but haven't asked the person who knows about it yet
lmao it does that when I have like 4k on me at a time
There is a moneyframe error fix addon and now all my money text is blue and some wierd script ran when i checked my mail
man WeakAuras really fucked up everything didn't they
(blizz kneejerk bricked their own game kekw)
oh yeah that state of azeroth thing is today too
in two hours
Yeah, get a lua error because something tried to call protected shit and it's blizz
During shadow dance, we use evicerate even in aoe?
For you cool beta testers, does CP show in the standard nameplates unlike now on live?
guys im sorry im super noob but... question: why isn't subterfuge meta on sub? isn't it like a free shadow dance window on opener?
or am I missing something
(I likely am)
this looks rly nice no cappy
Thanks.
you don't get the damage bonuses that dance gives
Subterfuge is like temu stealth
Sub is temu rogue
vs the capstones we do take in the class tree
odd way to describe the best of the three
Did you play anymore UH on beta?
does any of the specs even use subterfuge anymore? I don't think it's played at all
probably pvp for whatever reason
chopping block it is
now that Carnage isn't a bleed spreader and Crackshot is gone I can't really see anyone wanting it
no crackshot and no RB on vanish
Yeah I’m a new sub player (trying to learn all rogue specs to play whatever one is tuned the best) and I find that most of my rotation is 2 buttons
😭
Shut up you will like your retribution rogue and like it
1 more than feral 
Which is why I’m not playing feral next tier
LOL
wait how many buttons does feral have now
Try arms warrior. Think they’re current button bloat kings
i personally dont think they are that bloated
well if you compare them, they might be 
it’s closest to TWW button count
yea thats for sure
didn't feral only really lose Thrash but gained Chomp
they lost dragon roar
as far as buttons
Do they really after the cheap changes?
Wouldve thought that kinda killed it
so they're net even
@molten citrus are you a subterfuge gamer on beta?
more egregious for feral was losing Bloodtalons
I’m enjoying the new main shopping. Eventually the realization sinks in most specs are TWW BM levels.
the trick is to make them like survival
so based
and true
and have one button be a super big boom blaster
And get ignored after one tuning pass when BM goes nuclear?
so you don't notice how shallow the rest is
and when you dont even use your specs signature ability anymore in ST
💣
If I had 5% faith in bliz that I could just one trick SV I would.
its such a chill rotation
kc for 2 tip stacks, spend two tip stacks
repeat til you're dead
repeat till you boomstick
#MakeHatchetTossExist

and as sentinel you just consume mark OR just when overstacked.. thats neutral
ig I've only looked at the prepatch wowhead rec builds
Wow chainsaw man
does bm hunter even pay attention to frenzy stacking anymore
@swift tinsel do i need masqu for BCDM icons or can I squre them up in the addon?
ig you throw them when you have one specific buff (wyvern) as pack leader aswell
thats it
who gonna tell him
there is no frenzy stacking anymore 
I don't think bcdm lets you use masque
at least I didn't find the setting that enabled it when I tried it out
okay so now I get to omega troll the bm hunter in our guild bragging about never having to use WA's before the pruning
Is this still likely to be "The PvP Spec"?
bc without frenzy stacks there's literally zero braincells involved with that spec and its purely button whackamole
Havent been since like wrath
amused me aswell when they just decided to bake the frenzy stacks as a passive 2pointer into the tree
"here you just get it for free all the time instead of needing to keep it up as stacks"

anyone complaining about sub/gunslinger legit needs to spend time on other specs
that's a literal captain insane-o line to add to a priority list
Tbf you could add that line to sub and assa as well
Cant count to 7
@swift tinsel Essential Cooldown seems promising
at least the "do nothing" line is at the bottom now, unlike dark ranger bm in S3 where doing nothing was a dps increase if you were less than 1.5 (I think?) globals away from getting a guaranteed black arrow procc
that on curseforge?
will have to poke around with it
does it allow independent x/y icon sizing?
or just squares
ikr 
you guys abandoned arcui ?
for now
I was getting really frustrated with the fact that cooldown text disappears frequently
yes
and tweaks is having issues with frame layouts twitching when procs happen
as well as icon reordering/moving
so I'm just super frustrated with all of them atm
I would but I’m needed as rogue for buff
And it’s similar to feral enough people trust me with it
😭
Well debuff
are there any rules on when to enter dance cp / energy wise?
ideally low/no cp
esp as deathstalker
but if you're at 6+ its fine to dance
hmm def gonna give it a try then
im using the mapko one and just vibing with it
as long as you can remove active buff overlay
and sensei bars
ye I'm rocking sensei again until wangbars gets some updates
since its more responsive with cps than sensei
what u using ?
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
in the addone no, you can with maque
some dude in my guild made a custom addon that just removes the overlay of the duration on the spells
fancy
Its called : Will's CDM no clue if i can link it from curse forge nvm i can
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/wills-cdm
tell will he has cool aura
yeah that kinda owns ngl
imma screenshot that and if he doesnt rig my fucking loot next tier (he is our raidleader) we place a target on his back
based true and actually
if u guys want some extra stuff lmk he'd be pretty happy to add more stuff ppl want
@swift tinsel
so you can still do swipe but adjust color and trans
ah hell yeah
oh yea he has colors too
scroll up lol
I'm just gonna make the alpha 0% so its just the swipe
I mean the icon resizing
youre being lazy lol #subtlety message
yep lol
ah must have missed the message where you said you could resize x/y
mb mb
@south kernel thanks for the link. tell wills thankyou and give you the 90 sec haste trinket
will do o7
what are you using? mine is sensei combopoints and bcdm, ignore energy because that is scuffed from my 2009 brain
sensei with a custom texture
the top row icon spacing gives me agita
both the between-icon spacing and the fact step doesnt line up with the edge and cloak does

@swift tinsel did tint for the active state to match the spells
Can remove silent storm
def dig that idea

so the one hicup, and maybe just need to install bartender. if you use masque for blizzard bars, it screws up the icons for the CDM with CMC
have to fix that shit now
what's cmc?
running back for the 49'ers
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Ancestral Call
/use Araz's Ritual Forge
/use Unyielding Netherprism
/use Lily of the Eternal Weave
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
hmmm will the dance and sectec macro really help
gonna save 0.1seconds of time to press them
the entire spec is based on getting as many casts off in dance
which now has a varied length based on haste and 1.2 sec gcd from coup but you do you with it
Man of culture
hmmmm usually its like 1 sectec per dance for me
i assume thats bad
???
wait do we mean by casts, like evisc?
yes
ok I like this approach. still stands out
is that with 0 alpha?
that's all on CD. onse sec for active
ahh
Oh hell yeah that looks super nice
I believe in rogue tank. is today the day.
oh shit good coms lmao
Yeah it's on the main WoW channel (link in the bnet launcher, too)
totally forgot
I don't think the decor is from watching 'cos their wording is "Watch to learn how to earn" so I assume it'll be a classic thing like the mounts in the past

(nice)
twitch has the drops though
seems to be fixed now
@swift tinsel ok, so you have a good bit of override control look at the buffs
yea im just dumb
honestly im not even sure if im doing the adequate amount
but im doing like pretty much the same damage as what i simmed so i assume thats a good sign
You need to likely look at a log to see if you’re missing casts
I hope that fucker is so overtuned that it drives RWF insane
Ye
as a huge delve enthusiast
More raids. More RWF views
same
Free advertising
Just better content for everyone imo
idk I kinda liked solo boss raids like Sarth
where rogue tank though
where rogue extra button. 
Ion, announce it!!! you better announce it!!!!!
Ascension talents coming
I like it a lot 
It’s starting to feel like my ui
I wish sub was a scool as her
I think I'm in love
That makes me happy
Im also getting there
lmao
I wish all our daggers could sit on back
this would be really sick
choosing hip or back weapon sheathing
yeah
like with Hungering Cold from sanctum
I can't believe they FAKED ME OUT with that rogue
So all the rogue dev time went into advertising. 
Frfr
so we got, housing, classic jebait, housing, roadmap & raids, housing cinematic
I missed it …anything else beside that
Got an ozzy tribute of sorts. I’ll take it.
the best looking lame rotation
we get multiple raids a patch
thats the only thing
and prop hunt
i gues
Alright
Whats prop hunt?
Yeah, 12.0.7 is adding a lairboss
mostly 1 boss raids
bigger delves pog
Hide and go seek
ye they kinda got me with that one lol
Cool hopefully overtuned so rwf is fun
I'm gonna be labyrinthing my buns off
Yeah, the delve mode is cool
I'm just glad they're finally moving away from the rote cycle
huge agree
Damn none of those answers helped lol
some people can turn into objects and hide from seekers
hide and seek but the hiders are random objects
Which useless rotation you want next?
so you try to blend yourself
hopefully the end of laby reward will be somewhat close to vault
Ah wow literally, I thought that was a joke, ok then hehe.
hmm i havent looked at other classes, but youre cooking
I bet it'll be a hero track gearing avenue
myth, believe
probs limited to 1 per week
ive done enough delves for a hc track item ffs
myth would be pretty sick if its like how map guarantees hero track currently
since it looks considerably more elaborate
rogue showcase in the housing movie 
must be a sub rogue ^^
