bananas as melee was a fking nightmare too

plush roost
#

My fabovorite part was feinting before the water circles casted because it didnt work otherwise

tribal blade
#

or if you forgot to use your eyes and kept running into bananas

plush roost
#

Only for it to not target you

#

-20 energy W

warm depot
#

W

hazy breach
#

Tbf it is a lot better to feint

hazy breach
#

Than to press barkskin

#

And not have it target you

plush roost
#

True hahaha

hazy breach
#

Or whatever other defensives other classes have

tribal blade
#

holy shit that boss was so toxic

#

also bressing on that boss

#

esp if your bres died

#

was something

slate marlin
#

i still cant understand why they didnt fix that

#

it felt awful to waste a defensive

plush roost
#

Same reason they didnt fix db

#

"Yeah we are never returning this dungeon"

plush trout
#

guys, from a scale 1 to 10 how clean did i get my ui?

plush roost
#

Needs more windex

slate marlin
#

im not sure its lined up

plush roost
#

That was instant well done

tribal blade
#

why icon for backstab

left ledge
#

Two energy bars is diabolical

#

Just go base UI at this point

slate marlin
#

bc when i dont zoom its not but when i zoom it looks like it is

lilac stag
#

And a scrub brush

plush trout
plush roost
#

Oh ive found a problem actually

plush trout
#

my old wa was full of shi

plush roost
#

Where is wangbar?

tribal blade
plush roost
#

#wang

warm depot
#

padding between ur unit frame and backstab is different from target unit frame and sectech

plush trout
#

flag sod sd sb cb sectec

warm depot
#

by like a handful of px

tribal blade
#

awang?

plush roost
#

Yknow, wangbar?

#

Local

warm depot
plush roost
#

Homegrown

lilac stag
warm depot
#

its also vertically unaligned byt a few px

plush roost
#

Masterful

warm depot
#

gotta fix that

slate marlin
warm depot
#

if my shit aint clean

slate marlin
#

if its not perfectly aligned something inside of me explodes

warm depot
#

my play wont be either

tribal blade
plush trout
# lilac stag

so tf did u do so that deathmark and shadow technique to be in separate part of the screen

left ledge
#

Actually all you need to track is sectec and blades

tribal blade
#

i read that and was like how in tf are deathmark and shadow techniques existing on the same UI

left ledge
#

If you have anything extra that’s suboptimal

plush roost
distant sage
#

Is it possible to have shadow dance as an independent bar

left ledge
#

You’re allocating brain space to track things that aren’t blades or sectec

plush roost
#

Haha #wangedout

lilac stag
tribal blade
plush roost
#

(Its actually super responsive, probably best cpbar)

distant sage
lilac stag
#

Blades also independent

warm depot
#

wait what skin are u using for the cd tracker

plush roost
tribal blade
lilac stag
sacred yarrow
#

thank you for the cpbar đŸ«Ą

plush roost
tribal blade
plush roost
#

Still have to stare at the icon sorry pal

lilac stag
#

you can custom sht in arc

tribal blade
#

holy shit i'm gonna riot

tribal blade
plush roost
#

Or just a tracker

lilac stag
#

I don’t know if I saved it. You can my a 14pt sht bar

haughty mural
lilac stag
#

Lemme look

plush roost
#

Yeah id like to see that

#

Cause that was mt favorite wa feature

tribal blade
haughty mural
#

probably a good call - i got so invested in arc that i hesitate to get away from it. Although it annoys me

Supportlocalbuisnesses

lilac stag
#

you're tracking the buff so pretty sure his is just the class resources

#

seperate monster

#

i mentioned it at one point

#

but wang bar kept being angry with colors so I went back to sensei

distant sage
#

What do you guys use for custom bars im pretty illiterate in addons

lilac stag
#

you can also turn arc off for everything but bar tracking

#

arc just gives you the most customization right now

plush roost
#

Sweet, sounds like we should make an addon for all these little addon features

#

Call it like, Strong Addons

lilac stag
#

call it MA for Midnight Auras

plush roost
#

Mm

#

Maybe a little weak tho?

#

What about WeakAura

lilac stag
#

paywall it like echo liquid and naowh

#

maybe WEEKauras

plush roost
#

Every 2 weeks?

lilac stag
#

to not get confused with previous

plush roost
#

WeekAura2?

lilac stag
#

12 weeks if it's blizzard looking at sub

plush roost
#

Wdym they looked at us right away

#

8% faster than usual u could say

lilac stag
#

yep. 12 weeks from today we get a 30% BP buff

plush roost
#

Erm

#

Lets start with maybe not a 30% overall ability hehe

swift tinsel
#

I think I'm already over every CDM addon

lilac stag
#

sorry, only can use BP modifier for balancing

plush roost
#

Study the bizzalrd way

lilac stag
plush roost
#

I installed better cdm yestersay

#

Trinket tracking works on live but is borked on beta

#

Xd

lilac stag
#

like everything else

#

Xd

warm depot
#

xd

plush roost
#

Items and racials work

lilac stag
#

I can't wait for the real beta to start on NA

plush roost
#

Just not.. trinkets

#

Yahp

#

I raid dimmy today

#

Sorry boys

#

-8%

#

Inc

warm depot
#

krappa

#

i went into dimmy last week with 1% haste

#

that was fun

swift tinsel
warm marlin
lilac stag
#

have to sort out to stay VE or go hoomie

lilac stag
#

if the base CDM let us actually put in any of our spells it would be fine dead

swift tinsel
#

but no addon can do all of the things without either breaking or conflicting with other addons

lilac stag
#

fucking alpha half assed shit they didnt itterate on for an entire expansion

swift tinsel
#

dynamic groups

lilac stag
#

CDM is BFA Sub Rogue kekw

swift tinsel
#

not having my icons reshuffle on login

#

not have cooldown text just disappear

plush roost
#

Ive heard from a credible source that the addon thing wasnt supposed to be at the same time as the class pruning, but Ion pushed the class stuff

#

Beeeeg xd

warm depot
#

god bless ion

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

will see what today brings

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

i get the running part

swift tinsel
#

loaded, whatever

lilac stag
#

masque would fuck up and lock in

#

latest versions of arc does a better job of removing masque caused issues

#

it's comical how shit just gets attached to edit mode some how magically

#

bliz ui just garbo still when it comes to letting calls modify apprearances

#

11.2.10 beta version of masque was a bit more stable with CDM

#

idk what the live version number is

#

arc 3.4.7 beta vers should actually alert on load if there are masque conflicts, even if it's not loaded

warm marlin
hazy breach
#

I mean the addon stuff without the class changes wouldve been even worse

#

Not being able to track things you actively need to track Classic

copper fiber
#

why can we not track sinister strike on the cdm

lilac stag
#

why do you need to?

compact iron
#

anyone else cantt see the death recap while using details?

copper fiber
#

because i like to see my spells on my WA

#

thats how ive always played

lilac stag
#

put an action bar there instead?

copper fiber
#

i can do that, my point is that i shouldn't have to, they gave us a half baked cdm

lilac stag
#

A builder isn’t a cooldown

#

complain about FW tracking

#

Sure

#

Backstab has zero reason to be there

#

Or just use the default UI action bar

#

Well if you play outlaw a builder is a cd omegalul

copper fiber
#

my point is that you could easily have all that stuff on weakauas without issue, then they make that go away, put in a cdm as a replacement, and it can't do the same basic functionality

lilac stag
#

and you could do a lot of shit with WAs that broke encounters.

hazy breach
#

Correct, blizzard is trying to prevent people from overwhelming themselves with completely useless information

#

Such as tracking useless poisons, backstab or find weakness

copper fiber
lilac stag
#

there is 100% zero reason to track backstab. The game has changed.

#

if that’s the complaint going into midnight, gold star blizz

vale pine
hazy breach
#

Just like im surprised there are apparently a fuckton of people playing with combo points only showing on nameplates

vale pine
#

oh wait, there are 2 vanishes?

#

and other things you ask yourself

lilac stag
#

I sure someone in here has player and target plates in upper left corner next to each other.

harsh meadow
#

Remember when combo points were on the target

sullen hare
#

Mine still are because I'm a curmudgeon

harsh meadow
#

No like not visually

#

Literally they used to be way back in the day per target

sullen hare
#

Oh yeah I don't miss that garbage

harsh meadow
#

It was awful

sullen hare
#

Classic players can keep that shit

vale pine
sullen hare
#

Man I can't swipe text for shit this morning

harsh meadow
#

And I logged out when I realized

harsh meadow
sullen hare
#

I've been roguing since 2005 that's one of the things I'd prefer stay in the past

lilac stag
#

Can I have 2005 backstab sound back please

harsh meadow
#

Real

left ledge
#

Classic target swap was aids

#

TBC at least lets you keep your combo points when you swap targets so long as you don’t build on the diff target

lilac stag
#

@left ledge are you playing rogue s1?

left ledge
#

I’m always playing rogue

real belfry
#

How are people feeling about Sub going into Midnight?

I last played in S1 of TWW and really enjoyed the complexity. Seems they absolutely gutted the spec down to only a few buttons...

Is there still some level of skill expression to be had here?

I think i'll still continue to main sub as I have every expansion, but man does it feel gutted.

lilac stag
#

I couldn’t remember if you swapped off

left ledge
#

I’m a token rogue my guild will not let me swap

#

Nobody else trusts the class ICANT

lilac stag
left ledge
lilac stag
#

The people swapping to rogue I don’t expect to stay

real belfry
lilac stag
#

You still have to know to line up CDs and when to send them in fights

#

Unless you go back to dust, our cd cadence has been 2-1-1-2 for a bit

left ledge
#

I mean honestly the way you play sub will not change much

#

It is just simpler

#

Less buttons

lilac stag
#

People just got mentally confused by krangled CDs

real belfry
#

Maybe I just miss pressing symbols outside of dance lol

left ledge
#

I don’t

lilac stag
#

you shouldn’t

#

outside of dance is pointless

#

now you’re in dance quicker, which should make most people happier

left ledge
#

Only thing I think maybe we lose out on in terms of “skill expression” is timing flag to get the most out of it when it fully ramps

#

But with double coup even that was kinda eh

real belfry
#

Oh for sure, more so just in open world content. Need a little extra energy for backstab to finish a mob. Was nice to have an energy button.

Just that little extra that made playing a rogue in WoW feel a little more involved.

left ledge
#

You built it in like 2 finishers

left ledge
#

Especially since haste is favored

real belfry
hazy breach
plush roost
lilac stag
#

and open world aoe murder bots isn’t exactly a known rogue specialty

real belfry
hazy breach
#

Because the cd is 20s instead of 60 with cdr, (which often ended up at like 45-50 in open world content, and even in raids it was like 25)

left ledge
lilac stag
hazy breach
#

Probably the opposite ngl, more eviscerate buffs

plush roost
left ledge
graceful osprey
#

I think what we have now is a good baseline. Add new animations and maybe a new ability or two would be cool.

left ledge
#

Yeah that sounds kinda cracked

#

Especially in academy

real belfry
#

I miss rupture in PvP

left ledge
#

Can’t wait to bp tree area again

plush roost
#

Best i can do is spin in a circle and throw my arms out on repeat sry

#

Ss bp gaming

hazy breach
left ledge
#

If only DN worked on BP

#

SIGH

hazy breach
#

Even in algethar

left ledge
#

Yeah I know

hazy breach
#

You would use DN

vestal escarp
plush roost
fathom adder
#

i quite like the changes

plush roost
#

Wonder if thats day 1 craft

hazy breach
left ledge
#

Just kinda wish they integrated bp into it but I’m fine with DN at least being worth pressing

hazy breach
fathom adder
#

gloodblade, lingering and bite tuning/changes and i am happy

vestal escarp
left ledge
#

“Bite”

#

Oh hell no

hazy breach
#

Unseen blade from storm isnt random anymore

#

Its your target

left ledge
#

Goremaw is a stain upon our existence

hazy breach
#

(assuming the target is in range)

fathom adder
#

thats true

hazy breach
#

Otherwise it seems random

vestal escarp
#

So it's still janky

left ledge
#

How is trickster shaping up anyways

hazy breach
#

Well no

#

Just be in range

#

Since storm has longer range you shouldnt ever have that be an issue

graceful osprey
#

Gloomblade should be baseline tbh

left ledge
#

It should

lilac stag
#

and have 2005 backstab sound

hazy breach
left ledge
#

Oh damn really

#

Good news

hazy breach
#

Yes by a lot

#

The only thing deathstalker does better is prio

vestal escarp
#

Muh funnel

left ledge
#

DS back to being dead for another expansion pog

hazy breach
#

But like, are you willing to give up 20% overall for 10% more prio and lower ST?

vestal escarp
lilac stag
#

keep the dead dead

hazy breach
#

Probably not

left ledge
#

Maybe on a specific encounter that highly depends on prio

vestal escarp
#

So ds is behind even in ST?

left ledge
#

But can’t see it being a general case

hazy breach
#

Didnt happen in tww

#

So i dont expect it to happen now either

left ledge
#

Ye prob not

hazy breach
#

Like deathstalker has had better prio all this time

left ledge
#

Well the gap is even smaller now no?

#

It was bigger than just 10% in TWW I thought

#

Or well you did have to completely sac aoe lmao

lilac stag
#

You used your ST rotation as tricky so

#

all the prio garf

graceful rock
#

when looking at my cast timeline, is there a way I can see shadow dance uptime as well?

#

like have this but also the casts on there

vale pine
#

my suggestion still stands

#

give every spec the hero talent that worked best for them

#

subtlety - trickster

#

outlaw - fatebound

#

assassiantion - deathstalker

#

even tho deathstalker is still annoying on assassination

tender dust
sullen hare
#

It sucks pretty bad for sub man idk

vale pine
#

so idk

tender dust
#

Well it just sucks overall. but once applied, we can't even move it. and it also also on a 5 second garrote timer.

tender dust
hazy breach
#

You cant move it as sub either

vale pine
#

^

hazy breach
#

Garrote is on a 6 second cd, dance is on a 20 second cd. But that doesnt really matter now anyway since if you have a mark up you cant move

vale pine
#

every change to it, which mostly seemed to be aimed to make it better on assasisantion

#

made it worse on subtlety

#

its just that the last set of changes also made it worse on assassiantion

hazy breach
#

During tww beta you could enter every dance with DN up and get 2 uses out of DN during dance

vale pine
#

yep

hazy breach
#

Then they bugfixes echoing reprimand for assa and for some reason that introduced the "cant reduce mark below 3 when DN is up" bug

#

Which has now been added as baseline functionality

tender dust
#

I mean we can all agree that DS sucks for both specs sure. but saying DS was more popular in m+ is not a good arguement to me.

vale pine
#

well, there are 2 competing specs

#

if an annoyence is high, people usually pick a diffrent spec

tender dust
#

On fatebound last season you did less damage with more then 4 targets close to each other.

vale pine
#

unless blizz made some rly bad tuning decisions

#

so either assassiantion was op

#

or it was not a problem

lilac stag
#

DS was insane funnel with caustic. Hardly sucked on assa more tha sub.

#

spider egg boss s1 LOL

tender dust
#

If we had FB how it is now nobody would have played DS. but because FB had anti aoe in there kit, you couldnt play FB.

#

so you were forced into DS

#

So it kinda doesnt matter if DS was OP or not.

lilac stag
#

you’re in the wrong channel for assa sympathy.

tender dust
#

Im not looking for assa sympathy 😄

lilac stag
#

giving assa 90 seconds was wrong.

#

pay for those sins

vale pine
#

i think assassiantion just plays fateboud now

tender dust
#

We were 90s? my cooldowns were so bugged on every boss, we were a 1 minut spec

vale pine
#

blizz removed most differenciating factors

tender dust
vale pine
#

there was seemingly an way to reliably bug things out

#

assassiantion was quite good in the statistic and had many "bug "logs, so the bugs ended up mostly positive

#

not saying bugs don't suck

tender dust
#

Here this is from 11.2.5 people played fatebound on hunters because DS sucks so much, while DS was damage wise way better.

#

Taking less damage but a better playstyle speaks volumes to me.

vale pine
#

does not make a lot of sense to me

#

players are driven by numbers

#

if ds would reliably outdo fatebound, you would see the top 10 parses on DS

#

yet, if you look at it

#

its a mix of both

lilac stag
#

hunters just was bad as melee. Timings sucked as sub. Manage mark as assa. Outlaw could zip zooom around and fury was fun on it.

vale pine
#

fatebound was just noticable enough ahead on st, to cba switching

tender dust
#

It's a mix because 1. DS sucks on that fight. because you have to juggle your mark around to multiple targets. and if your good at that you play DS. if you suck at doing your mark. you play fatebound. and it can still be quite good.

vale pine
#

statistics don't lie

#

if something is as noticable ahead

#

you would see more played in the higher ranks

vale pine
#

you saw this on subtlety a lot

tender dust
#

This is the start of the tier

#

You see my point

#

Once people were aware mark juggling was so bad on that boss you would just swap to fatebound.

#

DS was def more damage.

vale pine
#

then why does this not show in logs

lilac stag
#

Hunter on sub your high parse was struck to kill time since everything came back up right as the boss was going immune or dead immediately after it

manic swift
#

@vale pine any idea why the nerfed sub dmg on the beta by 8% i mean, mage buffed again

lilac stag
#

Do I ping Charrend again?

vale pine
hazy breach
#

Sub was doing good damage

#

So they lowered the numbers

tender dust
# vale pine then why does this not show in logs

Because people prefer or 1 doing more damage on DS. or two because mark juggling sucks so much. you can perform better on fatebound because you dont have to deal with mark. it's like saying. i'm better at assa then at sub. because i played assa more.

vale pine
#

so we did good damage, its hard to compare because others did more

manic swift
vale pine
#

if the best players can't make it work

#

then you can't argue for deathstalker to be noticable better

tepid trellis
#

ds was better dmg wise, just not to a far enough extent for it to be worth the headache of playing it on the fight

vale pine
#

^

tender dust
#

Raw output it was better. but people opted to fatebound because its less of a hassle

#

I just want them to remove deathstalker

tender dust
#

garbage dogshit ass hero talent

vale pine
#

"the diffrence was not enough"

#

thats not a noticable diffrence

#

because if it is, you would "suck it up"

#

and play it

tender dust
#

If you would tell me, 2 hero talents, one is less damage in aoe but dont have mark. but one is more damage but has a annoying mark. most people would still pick mark. because of the dopamine of doing more damage.

#

People nowadays want to play whats best. and don't pick something lesser. atleast that how im thinking about it

vale pine
#

alright, ill repeat myself again

tender dust
#

you dont have to repeat yourself

#

Even if its not a noticable difference people would still opt for the most damage one. because of ego imo

vale pine
#

exactly

tender dust
#

and thats my opinion on it

vale pine
#

thats my point

#

if its better, people would play it

#

only few played it, so it wasn't rly better

red flame
vale pine
#

or not to the degree to make a noticable change

#

you saw this on subtlety too

#

we had fights certain talent combos ended up better by quite a bit (e.g. shuriken tornado)

#

but annoying to play

#

and if that was the case, even tho it was annoying to play

#

and even tho many did cba

#

the top logs all played it

#

i am with you, ds is flawed by design and possibly should be reworked or removed

lilac stag
#

rogues don’t enjoy friction
rogue dev enjoys friction
You decide your future going into a new expansion. garf_sit

vale pine
#

haha

red flame
#

I don’t get why they don’t make it so that any max CP finisher against a target w/o a mark, swaps the mark to that target
Seems like common sene to me 6683joeshrug

vale pine
#

subtlety could just switch it with strike

tepid trellis
#

it just shouldnt be on the target at all

vale pine
#

which solved it

tepid trellis
#

its outdated af

red flame
lilac stag
#

because it’s supposed to have some permanence being a marked target.

vale pine
#

^ its because of fantasy

red flame
#

Well yes but it’s impossible by design with stuff like M+ in mind

vale pine
#

the vision behind the spell is "you focus on killing this target"

red flame
#

How do you hard tunnel 1 target in M+

earnest rune
# tepid trellis its outdated af

It's like some dev said "what if we could put combo points back on the target, but with some other critical ability that they have to track?"

vale pine
#

which does not work with "you focus on killing this target, but everoyne is this target"

lilac stag
tepid trellis
#

choosing aesthetics over fun 10/10 choice

lilac stag
#

like any of the rogue hero talents had more than one brainstorming session of bad

wheat sentinel
#

Anyone else still pressing their rupture bind

lilac stag
#

arguably the best thing we had (raid parrry) was removed.

#

Everything else is shit garf_sit

vale pine
#

we had aoe kidney

lilac stag
#

for 5 days?

vale pine
#

like a week ye

red flame
chrome palm
#

mark doesnt even play well with secret technique just remove that shit from the game

lilac stag
#

we had group CDR on outlaw

wheat sentinel
#

But guys people who dont play rogue like the changes smile

vale pine
#

cttc, dn

#

i don't think its friction as a argument

lilac stag
vale pine
#

fatebound alwys had low gameplay impact

opal basalt
#

thats the thing

#

idm low gameplay impact

vale pine
#

the big ironie with hero talents is

#

if they have no gameplay impact

#

why have them?

opal basalt
#

i actually prefer it over something annoying like mark

sullen hare
#

I agree

lilac stag
#

Hero talents that don’t do anything are pointless

opal basalt
vale pine
#

i don't know

#

lets discuss this when we see the talent trees pruned

#

because of too much choice

plush roost
vale pine
#

even tho, most talents are already changed into passive non-gameplay-impacting things

wheat sentinel
lilac stag
#

@plush roost you know it’s out of love. feelsloveman

vale pine
#

legion had dfa, which was more engaging than wod

#

and remove the ring, soul cap etc

#

and the first, edited clip, suddenly becomes very similar to the 2nd

lilac stag
#

Soulcap was fun. WoD sub would be unplayable in keys

vale pine
#

i mean

wheat sentinel
#

That is actually a perfect representation for when it was made in legion beta

opal basalt
#

i wonder if they're gonna do wod classic

vale pine
#

everything only worked because of items

#

and wod end would remove all of them

#

you had a trinke that buffed ambush by like 300%

#

then you had soul cap + malus

#

then you had tier set, which basically gave you an additional damage amp after using vanish

#

remove all of this

wheat sentinel
#

Remove all of that and its still a shittier mop sub. Ill take that over this.

opal basalt
#

using vanish in combat? what kind of crackshot wizardry is that

vale pine
#

its boring spec with one cooldown every minute

wheat sentinel
#

Ret has more buttons than us now fuu

vale pine
#

legion had dfa

wheat sentinel
#

Idg how this is fun

vale pine
#

with ~25 sec burst cycles

#

a good animation

#

meaningful gameplay decisions

#

i prefere that

opal basalt
#

meaningful gameplay decisions too hard for midnight gameplay goal

vale pine
#

they rly are

#

many decisions moved to talents

#

and gear

#

which is just the new norm for gameplay design

wheat sentinel
#

Imagine having any agency as a player

vale pine
#

fun is subjective

wheat sentinel
#

Thats toxic

vale pine
#

everyone has fun diffrently

#

i mean you still have the agency

#

w/e how much they simplify things

wheat sentinel
#

My love for rogue came from a lot of the on the fly stuff, idk.

lilac stag
#

ret has more buttons, yet still more mindless and easier to play than sub.

vale pine
#

you still need to:

  • stay in melee to do auto attack damage
  • need to sometimes delay cooldowns for adds/downtime, even if you only have 1 cooldown
wheat sentinel
#

Thats every class though.

vale pine
#

blizz just simplifies one vector of gamepay design to an extreme

#

looking at bosses, maybe 2

lilac stag
#

Every class has high impact 20 second CDs?

wheat sentinel
#

I think the rogue dev just sucks tbh

lilac stag
#

Shit I’m rerolling

wheat sentinel
#

No buffs for outlaw for all of s3 and now this. Look at lock meanwhile

wheat sentinel
#

Its like they weren't even pruned, which is good for them.

#

But why butcher rogue so hard

vale pine

let people be sad scath

wheat sentinel
vale pine
#

midnight is a massive shift in design philosophy

lilac stag
#

butchered it hilarious

wheat sentinel
#

But we got the worst of the directive.

#

Easily.

vale pine
#

it might be fun

#

it might not be

#

we will see how things are after the honeymoon phase is over

opal basalt
#

it's why i'm deciding to give midnight a chance in s1

wheat sentinel
#

Can we skip to the divorce

opal basalt
#

if it doesn't turn out fun i might just swap over to tbc

lilac stag
#

Rogue at its core going into 12:
Assa still assa
Sub still sub
Outlaw still outlaw
Please Realz do better

wheat sentinel
#

Assa is the only one even vaguely the same

vale pine
#

the new outlaw looks fun

#

idk

opal basalt
#

new outlaw is incredibly fun to me

lilac stag
#

You’re blind or haven’t played retail in the past 3-4 years

vale pine
#

its still outlaw, and i like sub more

hazy breach
#

Idk sub is still sub

vale pine
#

but specs are now easy enough to switch

#

sub is fundermentally still sub, it has dance as its core cooldown

lilac stag
#

we were due for a meltdown. Of course it’s during maintenance.

wheat sentinel
#

Wat

vale pine
#

na patch day

strange harness
#

What is better to get dimensius ring or trinket

vale pine
#

beta testing unlocked

lilac stag
strange harness
#

overall

lilac stag
#

Sky’s for leveling. Ring does shit all

wheat sentinel
#

Wrists for the mog.

#

Yes.

strange harness
#

Okey thx

hazy breach
#

My main complaint about midnight sub is sectech having hasted CD

#

It makes short term haste buffs feel really strange/bad

haughty mural
#

Just wait it out

#

I’ll enjoy „butchered“ sub in the meantime

radiant swift
hazy breach
#

Nop

radiant swift
#

and only dance is being lengtened

hazy breach
#

Been hasted all the time since prepatch

radiant swift
#

but its so minor

#

is it more more in midnight then?

onyx flame
wheat sentinel
#

I dont think they want to do wod though

opal basalt
graceful osprey
upbeat smelt
#

Yeah and now feels like there's such a big emphasis on the pistol, its like a different class.

opal basalt
#

theres nothing pirate themed about outlaw imo

#

just a more modern and aggressive thief

#

you got a pistol, but still use swords mainly

#

the tumbleweed on BtE honestly throws me off so much

i mostly prefer outlaw above bandits guile and revealing strike, ps procs are cool.pepe_chad

What even was combat

#

Just don’t take ace

#

Boom you’re playing combat

harsh meadow
#

combat was sinister strike and blade flurry
 and that was it

#

eviscerate at one point too

sturdy shoal
#

what is everyone rocking in beta build wise?

#

for sub?

harsh meadow
#

But like in wrath you def didn’t press Evis KEKW just rupture and SS

lilac stag
hazy breach
sturdy shoal
hazy breach
#

Same thing as always

sturdy shoal
#

im new to rogue lol

hazy breach
#

But numerically its just not great either

#

You apply a mark to an enemy

#

That does extra damage

#

And you cant move it easily

sturdy shoal
#

ah so prob better in signle target then?

hazy breach
#

No

#

Its bad everywhere numerically, and it feels bad to play in aoe (doesnt feel good in ST either)

#

People didnt play it in tww, and they doubled down and made the issues worse, so probably not playing it in midnight either

opal basalt
#

kinda sad because the name fits very well with subtlety

hazy breach
#

Thematically its great

sturdy shoal
#

it does lol damn i want to test it out though to

lilac stag
#

Nothing is preventing you from testing it

#

That’s what beta is for

uneven scarab
#

^^

stoic pawn
sturdy shoal
#

so mast verse are our stats?

sturdy shoal
#

im legit just trying to find like a good break down of percent so 15% haste then mast higher than verse

gilded lodge
#

Doesn’t matter at the moment and when the new season comes out you would sim.

sturdy shoal
#

im on beta fooling around

sullen hare
#

that's the gist of it yeah

#

the wowhead guide has pretty graphs too

#

hmm I lied looks like the pretty graphs are gone

#

nah they're there just for prepatch stats

leaden plover
#

sub went from lil fun to no fun

harsh gale
#

Love it

floral geyser
#

doesnt the apex talent make sub more special to play

#

like gotta track that

#

and wait for it to stack for sdance

sullen hare
#

Not really it's just gonna be sit at full CPs for a few secs while everything lines up

sturdy shoal
#

so what exactly are we waiting to line up?

tepid trellis
#

dance+sectech

floral geyser
#

that actually sounds boring

tepid trellis
#

so what you could do is sit at max cp a few seconds before they are both up to bank up some ShT stacks

floral geyser
#

how good is our aoe in m+ in beta

tepid trellis
#

good enough for them to slap us with an 8% aura nerf

sturdy shoal
#

its decent

desert rover
#

its so boring, mind numbing literally 2 button spec now

pallid jackal
#

Does anyone know how to delete this? I mean the profile picture, the entire thing

#

Sorry for the zoom-in, looks a bit weird

lilac stag
#

Ooh almost to our 2 button spec quota for the day. LFG!

radiant swift
#

you can always just not play it

desert rover
#

yea I remember when applying for mythic guilds half of them wanted to force me

pallid jackal
#

How does that work exactly? Thank you for the response

jolly sleet
#

making a screenshot for you, i'm using it for the same thing

pallid jackal
#

Okay!

jolly sleet
#

big red circles on the settings ur looking for

pallid jackal
#

And have you also managed to trick item buffs by chance? Like of netherprism etc.

#

And doesn't it then appear when you hover over it?

jolly sleet
#

it doesnt because the mouseover alpha is at 0 too

#

there i tell "when mouse is not on the frame, hide it, and if it is on the frame hide it too"

pallid jackal
#

aha perfect! Thanks a lot!

#

My game is buggy as hell, keep getting these errors when I attack a target dummy

#

So is that an addon you are using?

jolly sleet
#

lets go in DM if you will, imma help you sort it out

pallid jackal
#

Okay!

summer lynx
#

So was the talent change supposed to be a thing?

hazy breach
#

Ye

#

The question is no why was it applied now, the question is why wasnt it applied at the start of the prepatch

summer lynx
#

Fair

sturdy shoal
#

no buffs this is what my stats are good for sub?

grim vessel
#

Low on int

lilac stag
#

I love when new rogues come in here worrying about stats. It’s so darn cute. gwb_uwu

#

Get ~684 haste. YOLO the rest

whats the new rogue tree look like for prepatch with talent changes?

#

Ooof, sub feels worse. Let's hope next round of changes fixes things lol

#

I cannot see why someone would play rogue for the first time in 2026

#

Must feel so bad

Do we have any UIs sitting around that people are sharing?

Simple as that

You have less points

plush roost
hazy breach
#

So nothing

shrewd lantern
#

oh right

sand flax
#

who has the new sub m+ build boys

#

or is sub dead

hazy breach
#

Not sure what you mean by new

#

Guides have the talents

sand flax
#

didnt they nerf/buff some parts of trickster/deathstalker?

lilac stag
#

mind reading skills lacking today eleem smh

sand flax
#

i saw latest change in faq from 6 days agio

exotic holly
shrewd lantern
#

aura nerfs change nothing

#

besides number lower

exotic holly
#

^

sand flax
#

so deathstalker and trickster are still about the same?

#

for m+

warm marlin
#

deathstalker đŸ€ą trickster gladge

#

and no ds is terrible

#

bad bad

hazy breach
#

Iirc its fine in prepatch because trickster cant get all of its dps talents

#

Whereas deathstalker can

sand flax
#

oh yeah guess i should specify for prepatch

#

not beta

hazy breach
#

But why bother, just play trickster anyway

warm marlin
#

hmmge yes yes i always assume beta

lilac stag
#

if you want to play rogue, specifically sub on pre-patch, just fkn play it. nothing actually matters for prepatch.

shrewd lantern
#

gotta get that prepatch io

sand flax
#

and not look again until it matters

lilac stag
#

The same we’ve been playing

#

Drop CB as eleem stated

#

wowhead & icy should both be updated as well

sand flax
#

wowhead has CB 🙁

#

fuggit ill just use that one

#

and change it

hazy breach
#

Well if you are EU they havent changed the class tree yet

#

But you can only get 2 out of cb/forced induction/deeper stratagem after tomorrow

sand flax
#

yee im Us

#

so im looking at that noiw

#

so its deeper and induction?

#

and 1 into lethality?

hazy breach
#

yes

sand flax
#

sweet

#

thanks dog

vale pine
#

like this it seems

exotic holly

cold blood has fallen, billions must forcefully induct

Fwiw cold blood pretty inconsequential in ST, and not that strong in aoe

ive fallen to my knees in a walmart

I'll never be stimmed by the coldblood sound again

What did they do to our talents ;-;

lilac stag
quiet lagoon
#

No i got that part but what did they change to make it this way

lilac stag
#

For leveling in beta

quiet lagoon
#

also is that ST or M+ or both

hazy breach
#

Requires 3 more points in the upper sections

#

Both

quiet lagoon
#

tragic, goodbye 50 energy in keys

scenic timber
#

for pve, why wouldnt you guys go down to tea, if your not gonna take advantage of the 40% chd,
i assume you guys need more sustain than burst and tea gives that, especially if your not getting energy back from deathmarks

hazy breach
#

50 energy or 10% crit to all finishers hmmNod

lilac stag
#

Bigger tragedy is running keys on prepatch.

lilac stag
#

Tea is negative dps

#

We don’t need energy during dance.

hazy breach
#

10% crit from CB, more finisher damage from forced induction and supercharger and more finisher damage from deeper stratagem is worth so much more

lilac stag
#

We do our dmg during dance

scenic timber
#

no i agree that cold blood has more dmg. but in that screenshot, you dont have cold blood

lilac stag
#

you can’t take it in prepatch

hazy breach
#

Well you only have 8 points

lilac stag
#

I hate prepatch

hazy breach
#

Cant get all of em

scenic timber
#

im confused, im running double vanish, 7th combo, and forced induction, and the double vanish line requires more points. ????

hazy breach
#

Are you on eu

lilac stag
#

You’re not N.A. then

#

Have fun tomorrow

#

Running your layout

leaden thunder
#

How far behind is Trickster right now?

lilac stag
#

The pins literally explain it

scenic timber
#

is this change across all classes?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

(except mages for some reason garf_sit, but theyll fix that soon enough)

lilac stag
#

tribal herald
#

guys, do we know why Blind stills aoe? is just a bug and they will remove? or its tooltip error and we are gonna keep it?.

hazy breach
#

It still is for the time being if you have airborne irritant specced

#

When/if theyre fixing that who knows

tribal herald
#

But giving the new tooltip, I guess their idea is to remove it sadly, no?

humble tartan
#

Airborne Irritant reduces effect and CD by 80%, it's still 1 starget

hazy breach
tribal herald
#

sadge

humble tartan
#

These class tree changes feel like ass

warm marlin

im honestly surprised there are this many people playing prepatch to even notice it

humble tartan

Some of us really enjoy the game 😛

i might just be tired but wym not all its talents

hazy breach
#

No

#

You only have 10 hero talents

#

And theres 13 nodes

torn tide
#

oh oops

#

thanks

lilac stag
torn tide
#

do u think theyll change that to make it so we can actually get all of them

hazy breach
#

You can get 3 rows at the bottom

#

You just need to level up

#

Or do you mean ALL of them?

#

No

torn tide
hazy breach
#

If you get all of them theres no choice, which makes all of it kinda redundant

this is just part of charrends master plan for outlaw to be the choice spec for rogue and honestly im rooting for him

yeah i mean

lilac stag
#

also for funsies read wowhead guide for DF Season 3 outlaw tuning. kekw

chrome palm
#

outlaw was able to do 90% of warlock damage with brew tank so they had to hit them with the -15%

#

they were good like 6 years ago tho

The optimism for outlaw tuning back then.

mage also held lust for 8 mnutes

and then i also fucked up count and had to go back, but no one talked to the guy to go back up even though i told them to

then mage also held lust for the next key in the last 20 seconds

#

weird to cop an 8% nerf but aight, it's pre-patch so I really don't care

#

I'm only still playing my rogue so we can get dimensius mounts

lilac stag
#

Looks like they fixed artifact transmog

kind river
#

before the xpac hits

#

I wonder if dragons and DH's caught the same smoke or if they are still gonna light my damage meters on fire though

short radish
#

0 chance devourer isn't going to be busted at teh start of the tier

lilac stag
#

0 chance subtlety will be busted dmg wise at teh start of the tier

#

ability wise there’s still hope. kekdog

short radish
#

nono

#

there's a chance it'll be busted at the start of the tier

#

0 chance sub will allowed to remain busted at the start of the tier*

hazy breach
#

If mini bursts like our dance is needed to kill adds or whatever we will be good

#

If not then oh well

#

GG go next

Can always highroll the tuning and end up doing the most ST in general

of the important ones

Coup is still 1.2s as well

lilac stag
#

still time for the wrong version to get sent to distribution

#

I need to log on beta this week. Been slacking

#

I’m just at the point whatever we get we get

hazy breach
#

And while dance is still a strong cooldown blades is more of a middling one right now, its not weak by any means but its way weaker than it was in tww

#

Since its less combo points and without flag less damage amplification in general

lilac stag
#

It’s interesting seeing the spikes be “similar” between dance and blades+dance

placid coral
#

haste is best stat until 35%?

lilac stag
#

Figuring out a way to make blades feel more impactful would have been nice

swift tinsel
#

up the % and make it turn all damage shadow

#

not too hard

hazy breach
#

I mean its still like a 40% damage buff, its not bad

lilac stag
#

it just doesn’t feel like you’re juiced

#

at least last season between the two 90s it felt better than dance alone

#

not the end of the world or anything

woeful wren
#

Ig if they ever fix lingering then it’ll extend our “power” window

#

eh

not too sure on that one

Being able to proc apex before dance might be nice

is it 2 lethality or not? wowhead pin says no and pin here says yes.

Fwiw it seems like it kinda doesn't matter if you cancel apex on sectech anymore

I know premed prevents it most of the time

why do my sims want me to use all the same socket gems even though my embellishments requires different ones. All of them say to put vers and crit which is fine, but I thought I had to mix match.

warm marlin
#

what embellishment

lilac stag
#

Nullstone I’m guessing

winter moon
#

elemental focus

warm marlin
#

the different gems just give you new damage types, the overall damage is the same

winter moon
#

oh man

#

i thought it gave you more based on different types

lilac stag
#

The only mismatch needed is for agility + crit/speed gem

#

And you have to force that in sims

tough solar
#

sub feels weaker today

#

more than 8% tbh

summer lynx
#

Well losing cold blood as well

#

and 1 point into lethality

steel sierra
#

Probably closer to what? 11-12 percent overall?

tell them the rogue discord gives zero shits about pre-patch so you’re forced to deal with whatever spec I want to test

Anyone else have AOE blind back for some reason???

It's probably just a bug don't worry
