true

#

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

placid elk
#

where are the people saying "we got 2 more months bro just wait its gonna be good"

river coral
#

were there any undocumented bug fixes atleast?

wild vine
#

It will then just get aura buffed

#

Doesnt help with anything

vale pine
#

buff all rogue specs

#

easy

wild vine
#

If anything, having it being really good so the gameplay gets more attention by the community would maybe help

red vortex
#

Iirc

placid elk
iron whale
#

do you guys really just don't care about visuals btw?

vale pine
#

i mean i am in the minortiy going from discussion in here and in the sub midnigth channel

#

i like gameplay depth

river coral
vale pine
#

and blizz removed a lot that added depth

#

many refer to it as unessecery bloat

#

or redundant

red vortex
#

I liked the bloat

#

On all 3 specs

placid elk
#

yep. i remember spending days to master opener during some patches, it was super fun.

# iron whale I MEAN TBH, not even a single rogue

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 PlatypusCosplayingAsBeaver

vale pine
#

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

lilac stag
#

I love how people seem to think this is exclusive to rogue. omegalul

#

Go play something else. Come back or don’t. The game has changed significantly going into midnight. If it’s not enjoyable stop playing.

boreal robin
#

hey where are the macros?

#

for the burst

lilac stag
vale pine
#

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

lilac stag
#

That would be the ^significant* part

vale pine
#

like, if we go from pre patch

#

just experience wise

lilac stag
#

People losing it over prepatch. Season 1 gonna be rough as well

vale pine
#

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

lilac stag
#

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

vale pine
#

my point is, we are currently in a transition phase between the old and new standard

lilac stag
#

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

vale pine
#

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)
  • ...
lilac stag
#

The bugs being so numerous last 2-3 tiers def adds a dark cloud to all of it

vale pine
#

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

vale pine
#

or well, you can make a decision at any time, but i think the majority just waits and sees like that

lilac stag
#

What is that 6-8 weeks into release?

tight sequoia
#

Whens the first raid poppin after release

vale pine
#

release cylce ended up 6 months

tight sequoia
#

2 weeks hm

vale pine
#

33% 10.0
33% 10.5
33% 10.7

tight sequoia
#

We have 2 weeks to fully submerge into the game chances before raid pops off

lilac stag
#

The 12.0.5 I’m talking about

vale pine
#

so assumption is 8 weeks per patch

#

oh ye

#

i should have wrote x.0, x.5 and x.7

tight sequoia
#

And 3 weeks until raid 2 of s1

#

Damn weird

vale pine
#

I think the raid split has a diffrent purpose

lilac stag
#

They nailed housing for the most part. Eventually we have to see what goes live with raid

vale pine
#

and we will likely only see it for the first tier

lilac stag
#

S2 I think is where people will feel better about the specs

vale pine
#

possible

tight sequoia
#

Splitting raid has the potential to lower hype for rwf

vale pine
#

my theory is, that the first raid is more a testing ground

tight sequoia
#

Imagine its a 36 hour raid for first wing and we just afk for 5-6 days for last 2 bosses

vale pine
#

so having it split allows for more time to tune sections

lilac stag
#

Nah. Just means they can do different splits including some mythic with boss schedule

tight sequoia
#

Yea but splits and waiting is the death of viewership

vale pine
#

because realistically, so much change and simplification makes it incredibly difficult to make a raid that

#

meets the expectations set by blizz

#

which means

tight sequoia
#

Think ffxiv ultimate raids

vale pine
#

"overall difficulty on par with current raids"

mighty citrus
#

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

tight sequoia
#

Incredibly complex puzzle mechanics with very clear mechanics that are very hard to learn

vale pine
#

everyone plays the game for diffrent reasons

tight sequoia
#

Ffxiv classes are so simple bm hunter is seen as hard there

vale pine
#

the thing is

#

ffxiv from what i was told

mighty citrus
vale pine
#

released a simialr simplification xpac/patch more recently

tight sequoia
#

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

dusk hamlet
#

Is sub easier to play since pre-patch? and how does it compare to other specs?

tight sequoia
#

Not very many people actually liked it

#

@dusk hamlet dance build spend

vale pine
#

and it was overall a net negative to the game, with from what i was told quite a fallout of players

tight sequoia
#

Repeat

lilac stag
#

People will enjoy the new outlaw. The vocal majority in the outlaw channel won’t because it changed. Same can be said about sub.

tight sequoia
#

The thing was ffxiv had very complex classes and very easy ones balanced out

#

Now theyre all easy

dusk hamlet
#

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

tight sequoia
#

So it was a massive hit to end game

vale pine
#

even if they remove every button and only make you auto attack

lilac stag
#

It’s the most forgiving

tight sequoia
#

@dusk hamlet ngl bro sub rogue currently has the learning curve of a carpet

vale pine
#

you still have the core mechanism of an rpg

#

which is story

tight sequoia
#

Story isnt the current reason of wow

vale pine
#

and tbh, wow is fairly mid or below mid in terms of that

dusk hamlet
tight sequoia
#

Wow had an insane story before

dusk hamlet
#

need to actually somewhat think what i'm spending on with combo points

tight sequoia
#

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

vale pine
#

wow never had an insane story

#

warcraft 3 had it

lilac stag
vale pine
#

it was basically the outstanding feature of wc3 that seperated it from other rts

tight sequoia
#

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

lilac stag
#

To me subs current pacing feels like s3 fury, but with burst.

#

Outlaw would be more traditional fury

tight sequoia
#

The raids have to built in a puzzle way now

#

They have no choice

#

No more addons telling you to stand on point a

vale pine
#

can have a human tell you now ^^

tight sequoia
#

But “ what do these mechanics mean “

lilac stag
#

You can have an addon tell you to goto a marker still

mighty citrus
tight sequoia
#

Ima be honest man

#

The raids in wow suck in terms of puzzle mechanics

mighty citrus
#

does the majority want puzzels?

tight sequoia
#

The raids were built to combat addons

#

So they werent puzzle nature

lilac stag
#

No screw puzzles lol

vale pine
#

i don't think midnight raids will excite you

tight sequoia
#

Puzzle mechanics in my opinion are the most fun a raid can be

mighty citrus
#

i wanna beat the shit out of a boss 😄

vale pine
#

the boss mechanics seem overall simpler

#

and there is still 20 man in a raid

vale pine
#

so you absolutely can't make super intricate puzzles

tight sequoia
#

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

lilac stag
#

wow raiding has never been about puzzle solving unless you do the meta quests for the raid achievement / mount

tight sequoia
#

Wow raids used to be pretty cool

vale pine
#

raid design also changes a lot

mighty citrus
#

which it is about

#

getting into wow with no xp and want to raid properly

#

was very difficult

vale pine
#

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

tight sequoia
#

Hmm i would say they will have to balance the dps checks very harshly

#

While making mechanics tough( not impossible) to maintain uptime in

vale pine
#

i am not talking dps checks

tight sequoia
#

This allows heroic raids to be simple

vale pine
#

but mechanics where one individual mistake is fatal to the raid

tight sequoia
#

Thats alot of mythic raids currently no ?

vale pine
#

the later bosses typically yes

tight sequoia
#

If an important mechanic is failed in a mid level + boss its usually cookdd

vale pine
#

it is part of the difficulty

#

having 20 man who don't fail these checks

tight sequoia
#

They could introduce dps dampener mechanics

vale pine
#

and they are sometimes quite tight

tight sequoia
#

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

vale pine
#

the best feature of ff, you could import to wow is checkpoints on bosses

mighty citrus
tight sequoia
#

Checkpoints ? You mean door bosses or queuing system

vagrant fulcrum
vale pine
#

so you don't need to do the first 8 minutes of a boss over and over

lilac stag
#

Nexus King was a banger of a fight. The visuals just needed to be better and that was all sorts of pass/fail checks

tight sequoia
#

@mighty citrus i was top 100 in tww season 3

#

NA

#

Raided holy paladin

vagrant fulcrum
#

and even with resses if the check is tight you will fail it from deaths

mighty citrus
#

i see

tight sequoia
#

@vagrant fulcrum the dps loss in ffxiv is pretty much youre done for

vale pine
#

game design is just not easy

tight sequoia
#

Its not

vagrant fulcrum
#

iirc that game has serious dps checks and a few dps bring global dmg amps for their group

tight sequoia
#

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

vagrant fulcrum
#

im guessing they can't out-gear it

tight sequoia
#

They can now

vagrant fulcrum
#

or are they still progressing gear

tight sequoia
#

But not possible early

lilac stag
vale pine
#

ultimate has no gear progression

tight sequoia
#

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

vagrant fulcrum
#

ultimate sounds like mythic penultimate/end bosses

tight sequoia
#

Its like dimensius combined with 5 other last bosses

#

Its hit or miss how difficult they are

vagrant fulcrum
#

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

tight sequoia
#

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

vagrant fulcrum
#

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

tight sequoia
#

Im just hoping the raid will be fun now that classes arent really “ fun “

#

@vagrant fulcrum your ping sucked probably

mighty citrus
tight sequoia
#

20 ping is a requirement

lilac stag
tight sequoia
#

So if you dont have 20 ping you download something that fakes your 20 ping for you

vagrant fulcrum
tight sequoia
#

I think forgeweaver last raid was a great balance of puzzle mechanics / team work / dps check

vale pine
#

combat is one of the weak points of FF

tight sequoia
#

@vagrant fulcrum next ultimate is coming

vale pine
#

it is why a lot of players who tested it did come back to wow fast

mighty citrus
vale pine
#

but wow combat got worse now too

tight sequoia
#

@vale pine gotta play a hard class

vale pine
#

sooo

mighty citrus
#

i play wow over ff for a reason so yeah

tight sequoia
#

Which they mostly butchered lol

#

Samurai is still a 7 minute rotation loop but

vagrant fulcrum
#

I'd need wow to be quiet to play ff i think

tight sequoia
#

@vagrant fulcrum i paid for that shit i aint doing 400 hours of story

lilac stag
vagrant fulcrum
#

based

tight sequoia
#

25 dollars or 500 hours of cutscenes

#

Pick your poison

mighty citrus
#

speak with wuklamat

#

😄

tight sequoia
#

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

mighty citrus
#

and thats exactly what i would not want to exist

#

i want to choose

tight sequoia
#

You can choose

#

But the best wins

mighty citrus
#

and in terms of numbers wow wins i guess

vagrant fulcrum
tight sequoia
#

Yea ffxiv recent expansion literally blew up the game

vagrant fulcrum
#

heck did she even have bunny ears

tight sequoia
#

Shiii they hot ngl

mighty citrus
#

why not the blind priest girl

mighty citrus
#

which left being a priest

tight sequoia
#

Real end game of ff is mogs anyway

vagrant fulcrum
#

this chick

mighty citrus
tight sequoia
#

They kinda nasty over there

mighty citrus
#

and nasty is the nice word

tight sequoia
#

Oh das a cat girl bro

mighty citrus
#

some would say with mods and shit

#

people go full ham

tight sequoia
#

Mods are 100% unregulated in ff

#

You can do legit anything

mighty citrus
#

if you play ff and join any discord

#

you will see dicks

#

on dudes and chicks

#

wether you want or not

tight sequoia
#

Well heres to hoping wow doesnt die

mighty citrus
#

it wont

tight sequoia
#

Wow playerbase was falling slowly

mighty citrus
#

cause we are all addicts

tight sequoia
#

If this is a bust

#

Ittl just die like gw2 and ff

vestal escarp
#

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

tight sequoia
#

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

vestal escarp
#

Im not talking about that at all

vale pine
#

what is the discussion?

#

i lost the point

mighty citrus
#

its fine

#

no need to get back to it 😄

tight sequoia
#

No plint

#

40 days till raid comes out

lilac stag
#

they have enough going between retail, classic, hardcore

tight sequoia
#

Bro i played holy pala last raid man

#

Yall subs so annoying

#

Why i gotta using BOS on yall

lilac stag
#

poor you

tight sequoia
#

Erhm can you please use BOS at exactly 3:19 so i line up my burst

lilac stag
#

Why do I have to listen how much better FF is?

#

just part of life today I guess

mighty citrus
#

(when its not :D)

lilac stag
#

bro doesn’t like the teamwork aspect of wow raiding. kekdog

tight sequoia
#

There is no team work in wow da fuq

lilac stag
#

What the rogue is supposed to press BoS for you at 3:19?

tight sequoia
#

Thats not team work thats feeding da baby

lilac stag
#

That’s called killing the adds for a dps check

tight sequoia
#

We were hitting that check either way

#

Its just for parsing

mighty citrus
#

nice

#

most of players didnt

mighty citrus
#

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"

lilac stag
#

guess the hpal discord didn’t have enough to complain about with this, so they’re spreading love here.

tight sequoia
#

Naw i quit hpal when dimmy died

lilac stag
#

so you weren’t even doing BoS after the first kill then

tight sequoia
#

I only did the first kill

#

We got first kill guild had drama i left

lilac stag
#

Can’t imagine why

tight sequoia
#

All this drama just for top 100

#

Not worth

alpine wraith
#

someone got back from vacation and decided to nuke everything

void ocean
#

they asked Copilot to get rid of all bugs

#

it deleted hpal

azure thicket
#

idk class identity is kinda like graffiti nothing wrong with reverting stuff if the spirit of the design gets lost

lilac stag
#

unless no one wanted what they came from. kekdog

void ocean
#

sub rogue class identity is now respecing to outlaw

#

tho we still dont have the numbers, right?

lilac stag
#

I’ll enjoy my short burst windows.

void ocean

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

lilac stag
#

Let it settle

azure thicket
#

is kinda like this but ye how you shape the words that spell bleach or define hpal etc

plush roost
#

Just wait till midnight 1 week before raid

plush roost
#

Addons will be fixdd

lilac stag

You only really need CDM and nameplates

plush roost

Elvui will work, everyone will have a better cdm.

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 poshLove

void ocean
#

silly example but WA warnings that my big cds will be off cd in like 10sec

#

dunno how to get that one

azure thicket

npcs in range counter bleed tracker for assassin and the talent to rapidly cooldown stuff out of combat for outlaw

void ocean
#

which is, i guess the next best thing

plush roost
#

Ah i see that isnt ideal

azure thicket
#

oh and uh trinkets should be able to be tracked in cdm

#

large flub not being able to isolate those buffs

plush roost

Why track when macrod to sblades 8)

lilac stag

so should findweakness omegalul

lilac stag

So ive heard haha

void ocean

also i had like visual progress bar for dance, it helped when i need to connect 2 dances without wasting globals

lilac stag

Bro think of the flag delay

#

To be lime

#

The flagellation delay

slate marlin
plush roost
#

We nevwr lost flag!!!

lilac stag
#

Accurate

#

We can use Fuu’s icon replacement

slate marlin
#

The sub faq section should have more details

mighty citrus
lilac stag
azure thicket
#

we still have flag what

slate marlin
mighty citrus
#

lets minmax for 1min fights

lilac stag
#

Forge and Projector going to do more for you than another 10% haste

slate marlin
#

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...?

lilac stag
#

Use dslice would be proper answer for m+

void ocean
lilac stag
#

my sims want me at 30 there. Not what is stated as a general guide

mighty citrus
#

sorry mate

lilac stag
void ocean
#

i remember when fdk had similar gameplay, when u wanted like 27% haste for an extra global during pillar

slate marlin
#

It was 25%, the extra 2% was to make it playable for humans

void ocean
#

but 30-35 seems a bit too much

lilac stag
#

We like haste breakpoints

slate marlin
lilac stag
void ocean
#

btw sad thing is if i come back to midnight i wont even consider sub just bc i hate that kind of gameplay

lilac stag
#

I mean it’s basically TWW with the extra cd stacks stripped away.

#

Outlaw will have its haste points

#

Assa will just 111111 envenom

azure thicket
#

assa would feel better with 2 kingsbane charges

void ocean
azure thicket
#

you desync based on how fast your tank pulls which feels griefy even for a dot spec

lilac stag
void ocean
lilac stag
#

No?

azure thicket
#

staring at 30 secs left on dm

#

AA being ?_?

lilac stag
#

Auto attack all your poison applications

void ocean
#

vers, crit and haste were outlaws bread and butter, what do u mean no 😄

azure thicket
#

oh i was like amp blank lol

void ocean
#

meanwhile we played sub with 0 haste

#

and i liked it 😄

azure thicket
#

feels lol that most of our changes are in midnight

white scaffold
#

Thank you very much poshLove

slate marlin
lilac stag
#

haste wasn’t exactly desired until adr changed

azure thicket
#

also assa doesn't feel that bad in aoe, venomous wounds etc parse

lilac stag
#

assa feels bad everywhere. kekdog

void ocean
#

true, breakpoints are the worst

lilac stag
#

jk assa is assa and is fine

azure thicket
#

ye the apply distance for crimson tempest is a lil low though

void ocean
#

just ask a dk to use grubby hands

lilac stag
#

You all just got used to the unethical range of caustic

azure thicket
lilac stag
#

which CDM do we try this morning 🤔

alpine wraith
#

dont worry bp has also some fake range

#

it hits so far sometimes you dont believe

#

meanwhile nimble makes you an ass sniffer

void ocean
hazy breach
#

Thats why the number is high

alpine wraith
#

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

outer cloak
#

Man how come there’s not a singular rogue change with last tuning

alpine wraith
#

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

alpine wraith
#

will it?

#

only god knows

azure thicket
#

best thing sub is good for in prepatch is making sure other classes always have cds lined up basegcat

#

hit simmed dps in a 19 halls yesterday with a udk and fury warrior lol

lilac stag
#

@azure thicket runny tricky or ds?

azure thicket
#

tricky keep meaning to try ds but played outlaw today

lilac stag
#

was going ask how annoyed you were with mark.

azure thicket
#

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

alpine wraith
#

trickster prio would be closer if the random unseen from storm was on main target

“Friction” or something

@tender dust like cdcentered is nice and simple, but lacking stuff like hiding buffs when not active

tender dust
lilac stag
#

yeah there's a number of ways to do it, including masque

lilac stag
#

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.

lilac stag
#

well the nice thing is you can get crafts from anyone on your server

upbeat smelt
#

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

upbeat smelt

hazy breach
#

Effectively just 50% cheaper flasks

lilac stag
#

alchemy also usually has a big upfront cost at the start

#

but tbh they all do

#

it's an arms race for recipes

upbeat smelt
#

Is the chemistry trinket Good enough to use though?

#

Close to BIS?

hazy breach
#

You can use it without being an alchemist

#

But also no

lilac stag
#

i wouldnt base too much of your gear choices on profession equipment

hazy breach
#

Professions only serve to make or save money

lilac stag
#

you would think it makes sense to, but it doesnt

upbeat smelt
#

Hmn lol now you got me more lost

#

But I was thinking about alchemy when I was going to main assassination

lilac stag
#

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

upbeat smelt
#

All right cool I really appreciate the feedback

azure thicket
#

the knockback on the engineering belt is more tank oriented but always wanted to run it

lilac stag
#

if something speaks to you, run with it. i like seeing my crafters name on my dagger (which i'm now not using) kekw

void ocean
#

still remember those 33% chance for R5

azure thicket
#

saw one rogue with the auto healing potion in the top 100 parses for some raid boss in s2 tbh

lilac stag
void ocean
#

10k per craft

#

and then it goes to proc in the 8th turn

#

cause Blizz and statistics

lilac stag
#

they did a better job with concentration, the alt army shit needs to go

#

which idk if that's possible or not

north schooner
#

warband wide concentration basegcat

red vortex
void ocean
#

its actually shame we lost rupture wth all this haste now 😄

upbeat smelt
#

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

void ocean
#

i mean if u find a guild with crafters, probably just mats

#

and mats are way cheaper now

lilac stag
#

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

void ocean
#

also token is like 400k+ gold so...

#

sell one and ud be good for the expansion i guess

lilac stag
#

Or mining and whatever

upbeat smelt
lilac stag
#

you do, but it also wont matter if you're changing permanently to something else

sinful plinth
#

Hello guys noob question. Im learning Sublety in beta and idk which ability goes 1st and which 2nd between secret technique and shadow dance

upbeat smelt
#

True

Also looks like making a macro is the way to go.

thx u buddy!

upbeat smelt
#

So quick question can weapons have both enchants and embellishments?

lilac stag
#

Weapons can be enchanted, have mana oils / attack power stones & poisons

upbeat smelt
#

But like this for example done while crafting, he can still have its own enchant and all the other stuff?

Certainly was not

Also you can't change crafted gear into set pieces right?

hazy breach
#

What part of that makes you think sub is getting rupture back

lilac stag
#

bro be looking at SL notes

void ocean
#

cool, we gettin Sepsis back too

hazy breach
#

They updated the tooltip for assa

#

This is why datamined stuff is pointless

#

Look at the blizzard notes instead

vestal adder
#

oh, well it was weird because it shows it under rogues, then shows again under assasination

#

my bad

lilac stag
azure thicket
#

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 Cheesin

void ocean
#

thats from the Torghast days

azure thicket
#

although maybe if they did they could reduce input delays

void ocean
#

when u could get all cds

azure thicket
#

oh really?

void ocean
#

maybe

azure thicket
#

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

lilac stag
#

the powers were fun and had a lot of overlap at times

hazy breach
graceful rock
#

Dang I was really looking forward to shadow clone ruptures sadge

hazy breach
#

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)

void ocean
#

i guess they didnt hear about inheritance as one of the oop principles

azure thicket
#

ye faster/safer to tweak the talent instead of the base ability

void ocean
#

like just have base class named bubble and then override it as hpal_bubble

azure thicket
#

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

silver yarrow
#

Boys, is sub a downtime spec like sin, now?

azure thicket
#

sometimes you do be stand and auto attack like that

short radish
#

and i will miss it forever.

#

(r1 log btw)

#

iykyk

crystal bone
#

feint most op defensive

void ocean
#

I laughed at myself when i trained it on vanilla classic

crystal bone
#

it was up for every mechanic on our dim CE kill

#

i took 0 dmg compared to everyone else

swift tinsel
#

for its cost, cooldown, and two stacks it truly is the most insane defensive

crystal bone
#

3.57%

crystal bone
#

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

azure thicket
#

not causing the healer to spontaneously combust is pretty balanced

haughty mural
#

-- mages in tww s1 - s3

crystal bone
azure thicket
#

i mean sometimes not feinting is the play

#

as a treat

#

not running cheat death on soul hunter prog is lmao

haughty mural
tender dust
#

I do think feint costing energy is still weird af

haughty mural
#

it is borderline op if it does not have a cost

#

if it stays off gcd

tender dust
#

AMs is also borderline OP or IB and doenst havea cost either

haughty mural
#

sure - DKs are also pretty special and unkillable

lilac stag

dK ignoring every fucking mechanic

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

torn tide
#

yo is it bad that im getting like 121% mastery in dungeons

#

it feels so unbalanced kinda

swift tinsel
#

they're as endless as they are buggy

#

so I'm just done trying with them for a while lol

torn tide
#

also bruh another server shutdown

azure thicket
#

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

red vortex
#

is simcraft still dead?

crystal atlas
#

We have any combat text add-ons yet?

swift tinsel
#

I actually never get lua errors from platynator

#

arc ui and tweaks though are bugged to shit

lilac stag
#

fucking thing pops errors on its own

swift tinsel
#

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

fallow nimbus

I got the resources in a happy place @swift tinsel

Is it because i sit at 9999999 gold?

Ended up doing a custom texture based off skullflower

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE?

fallow nimbus

with the moneyframe rerors?

just have no money.

#

No errors

what teh fuck man, i hate that bugsacker just in my face

#

cus i have too much gold

azure thicket
#

there's an addon that fixes the bag error but haven't asked the person who knows about it yet

swift tinsel
#

lmao it does that when I have like 4k on me at a time

fallow nimbus
#

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

swift tinsel

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

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah, get a lua error because something tried to call protected shit and it's blizz

i wonder if it gives lua errors trying to call sound alerts in Raid omegalul

#

Fix it copilot

snow rune
#

During shadow dance, we use evicerate even in aoe?

swift tinsel

only with coup as trickster

#

otherwise you use black powder

upbeat smelt

For you cool beta testers, does CP show in the standard nameplates unlike now on live?

iron whale
#

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

Subterfuge is like temu stealth

Sub is temu rogue

swift tinsel
#

vs the capstones we do take in the class tree

#

odd way to describe the best of the three

lilac stag
#

Did you play anymore UH on beta?

swift tinsel
#

I haven't been on beta in a minute

#

got wrapped up in UI shenanigans

north schooner
#

does any of the specs even use subterfuge anymore? I don't think it's played at all

lilac stag
#

probably pvp for whatever reason

north schooner
#

chopping block it is

swift tinsel
#

now that Carnage isn't a bleed spreader and Crackshot is gone I can't really see anyone wanting it

north schooner
#

no crackshot and no RB on vanish

lilac stag
#

I mean our class tree still needs lovin

#

When 2 of the specs are taking auto fill tea kekdog

swift tinsel
#

oh yeah forgot about no vanish cdr lol

#

rip

#

survivability nerf too then

slate marlin

sub uses subterfuge in pvp

#

afaik

#

but its such an uninteresting talent in pve now

safe tundra
# tight sequoia Sub is temu rogue

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

#

😭

tight sequoia
#

Shut up you will like your retribution rogue and like it

safe tundra
#

LOL

ionic quarry
#

wait how many buttons does feral have now

tight sequoia
#

Oh fuck feral one button ?

#

Dont they still have bleeds

lilac stag
haughty mural
#

hell yeah

#

summoned me

haughty mural
#

i personally dont think they are that bloated

#

well if you compare them, they might be kekdog

lilac stag
#

it’s closest to TWW button count

haughty mural
#

yea thats for sure

swift tinsel
#

didn't feral only really lose Thrash but gained Chomp

haughty mural
#

they lost dragon roar

swift tinsel
#

as far as buttons

hazy breach
#

Wouldve thought that kinda killed it

swift tinsel
#

so they're net even

slate marlin
#

Its in the beta pvp builds

#

So i guess they still do

lilac stag
#

@molten citrus are you a subterfuge gamer on beta?

swift tinsel
#

more egregious for feral was losing Bloodtalons

lilac stag
#

I’m enjoying the new main shopping. Eventually the realization sinks in most specs are TWW BM levels.

swift tinsel
#

the trick is to make them like survival

haughty mural
#

and true

swift tinsel
#

and have one button be a super big boom blaster

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

so you don't notice how shallow the rest is

haughty mural
lilac stag
#

If I had 5% faith in bliz that I could just one trick SV I would.

swift tinsel
#

its such a chill rotation

#

kc for 2 tip stacks, spend two tip stacks

#

repeat til you're dead

lilac stag
#

2 buttons. NOT GOOD ENOUGH

haughty mural

repeat till you boomstick

swift tinsel

#MakeHatchetTossExist

swift tinsel
#

wait do you really play bombless in st

#

lmao

haughty mural
#

yes

#

as pack leader

swift tinsel

#

and as sentinel you just consume mark OR just when overstacked.. thats neutral

swift tinsel
#

ig I've only looked at the prepatch wowhead rec builds

vestal escarp
swift tinsel
#

does bm hunter even pay attention to frenzy stacking anymore

lilac stag
#

@swift tinsel do i need masqu for BCDM icons or can I squre them up in the addon?

haughty mural
#

ig you throw them when you have one specific buff (wyvern) as pack leader aswell

#

thats it

haughty mural
#

there is no frenzy stacking anymore omegalul

swift tinsel
#

at least I didn't find the setting that enabled it when I tried it out

swift tinsel
runic verge
#

Is this still likely to be "The PvP Spec"?

swift tinsel

bc without frenzy stacks there's literally zero braincells involved with that spec and its purely button whackamole

omg I didn't even see that it was a 2pt node

"here you just get it for free all the time instead of needing to keep it up as stacks"

swift tinsel
#

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha shut the fuck up no way

lilac stag
#

anyone complaining about sub/gunslinger legit needs to spend time on other specs

swift tinsel
#

that's a literal captain insane-o line to add to a priority list

hazy breach
#

Tbf you could add that line to sub and assa as well

tight sequoia
#

Cant count to 7

lilac stag
#

@swift tinsel Essential Cooldown seems promising

reef walrus
#

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

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

ye

#

sec

swift tinsel
#

will have to poke around with it

#

does it allow independent x/y icon sizing?

#

or just squares

haughty mural
#

you guys abandoned arcui ?

swift tinsel
#

for now

#

I was getting really frustrated with the fact that cooldown text disappears frequently

swift tinsel
#

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

safe tundra

And it’s similar to feral enough people trust me with it

/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

hmmm will the dance and sectec macro really help

#

gonna save 0.1seconds of time to press them

lilac stag

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

i assume thats bad

wait do we mean by casts, like evisc?

@swift tinsel ok, so you have a good bit of override control look at the buffs

torn tide
#

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

lilac stag
#

You need to likely look at a log to see if you’re missing casts
