even if it's legit the best spec in the game or top3 it won't be meta because (previously) no one would reroll to it

#

i promise outlaw was top3 dps in tww2

shrewd lantern
#

unless the community is brainrotted thinking shroud is mandatory

#

like in bfa

#

for even lower keys

azure thicket
#

heard that one lol

swift tinsel
#

with them adding truesight everywhere shroud value is wayyyyy down

shrewd lantern
#

Well bfa dungeon counts were fucked too

reef walrus
#

tbh shroud was really nice to have in early days of m+

shrewd lantern
#

You never used it in legion

swift tinsel
#

also many pug tanks aren't gonna wanna learn 2 routes for rogue vs non-rogue comp

reef walrus
#

mostly bfa

shrewd lantern
#

my pug route is hold w

keen dome
#

my pug route is I hold S.

swift tinsel
azure thicket
#

ye routes are literally lust lust lust time it

#

idk boss before trash has never been attempted yet

#

as far as i can tell monkahmm

shrewd lantern
#

i hate m+ streamers

#

guarantee when some pug tank does some cooked ass pull

#

it was because some streamer did it

swift tinsel
#

that's not the streamers fault

azure thicket
#

well big momma is right there i guess

swift tinsel
#

that's the pugs fault for being an idiot

keen dome
shrewd lantern
#

💀

keen dome
#

And then every pug I joined, even like, +5's, were trying to do it

chrome palm
#

Pugs are just stupid

keen dome
#

It was really funny

shrewd lantern
#

How often did someone get frontaled by the boss

keen dome
#

They never made it to the boss

chrome palm
#

Do you know how many times I had a brain dead pug tank do some dogshit Ele route because “they timed it on 22 with this”?

keen dome
#

You'd wipe way before that

chrome palm
#

With no Ele in group

keen dome
#

Big fan of a +3 trying to do the candle king stair skip, too

#

And losing more time failing it than they would've just fighting the trash

azure thicket
#

idk the gap between a 16 and an 18 felt pretty good except on priory

shrewd lantern
#

lmao every group insisted tht stair jump was mandatory

#

then i watch someone fail it

#

and bodypull the pack

azure thicket
#

something about the healer check after a boss fight was diabalical lmao

shrewd lantern
#

the worst part is why do people bodypull then stand there

#

not moving

keen dome
#

Shock, shame

#

A big thing you find at lower key levels, esp with newer or inexperinced players, is that. Or they bodypull and run away.

#

Instead of running to the tank

swift tinsel
#

running all across god's green earth

azure thicket
#

they don't stack on kill targets without coms too

keen dome
#

You do a huge pull. Everyone is on the stack. Except the mage. Who is standing at MAXIMUM RANGE.

swift tinsel
#

its not so bad if its just one but if its a pack its rip

keen dome
#

And then the pack charges.

swift tinsel
#

yeah I wish I had tank lifegrip I stg

azure thicket
#

tirna scythe ranged getting munched on that first pull

swift tinsel
#

lol

azure thicket
#

aha

swift tinsel
#

lmao ye

#

just dogpiled and deleted

keen dome
#

Big "LEARN YOUR LESSON" moments

#

I generally hate it when ranged stand at max range

swift tinsel
#

ye unless there's a reason not to be stacked or even nearby its kinda wild

keen dome
#

yeah

shrewd lantern
#

no they stand in melee

#

when they shouldnt

swift tinsel
#

the mage terrorist blink

shrewd lantern
#

bring back quaking so i can watch dumb ranged die

#

from standing on me

keen dome
#

ahaha

azure thicket
#

nah watching ranged in siege of boralus flub the first boss wasn't nearly as funny though

swift tinsel
#

omg

azure thicket
#

having to wait 5-8 minutes to see if that why your key depleted was cringe

swift tinsel
#

marble brained kiting

azure thicket
#

ye troll ranged early lol

oblique sequoia
#

Does anyone have a good pvp build? Murlok.io needs few hrs more to update it :/

lilac stag
#

Wrong channel

oblique sequoia
#

Didnt saw the channel earlier

lilac stag
#

No worries

finite current
#

Big question, I was using the weakauras for Tricks to tank automatically is there something like that or may I create a macro like it was done before?

swift tinsel
#

you can macro it

#

if you have your party frames sorted by role

#

like /cast [@party1] Tricks

alpine wraith
#

or be chaotic and tricks the healer

#

instead

finite current
#

Like @party1 and those commands?

swift tinsel
swift tinsel
finite current
#

xD

lilac stag
#

Tricks the mage. They have no defensives.

finite current
fresh portal
#

why does DS want to SD at low CP but Trickster want to SD at high?

alpine wraith
#

trickster wants to use sec tech as soon as possible to get stacks of flawless from unseens

#

in DS it is whatever

#

but there may be other reasons

chrome palm
#

i wouldnt worry about what is good for ds you wont be playing it in midnight

#

and doing low-cp dances isnt going to make a world of different in prepatch content

lilac stag
#

Just don’t play deathstalker

finite current
#

Kekw

chrome palm
finite current
#

Shall we come back to trickster?

alpine wraith
#

yea ds was ahead because there was a bugged talent kinda

chrome palm
#

i mean do you wanna get gapped by 50% or by 48% from a DDH in prepatch

lilac stag
#

We never left

chrome palm
#

thats the choice you have, one of them is just significantly more annoying to play

alpine wraith
#

now they are almost the same everywhere or trickster is better in midnight

finite current
alpine wraith
#

and after the storm for unseen fix

#

they have almost the same prio too

#

now if they buff deathstalker we are donezo tho

lilac stag
#

If you want to int and play deathstalker with idk tea. Have fun.

chrome palm
#

maybe they do the tww thing where they keep DS bad on purpose

#

because they wont rework it

alpine wraith
#

just in case before a dungeon duel a paladin and make them bubble

#

so you can enjoy not having mark

#

until you log off and then in again

lilac stag
#

My dream is zero DS play by both sub & assa

alpine wraith
#

i find funny they nerfed momentum

#

then buffed it again

#

numbers what are these!

lilac stag
#

assa will probably fuck it up

alpine wraith
#

sub and assa have diff numbers in ds for a while i think

chrome palm
#

for assa/outlaw its really funny

alpine wraith
#

dont think even blizz keeps track

chrome palm
#

your choice in hero talent is: one that gives you extra resources and more movement vs janky annoying hero talent thats starved for energy/cp and cant target swap well

#

on both specs

finite current
#

Even for ST are we goin to use Trickster? I mean there's lots of rogues using DS

lilac stag
#

Yes. They’re close enough

chrome palm
#

deathstalker is probably better for prepatch

#

by some margin

#

at least in pure st

lilac stag
#

idk. They summed like 300 dps different

#

Maybe it was 200

chrome palm
#

it was like 10% when i simmed it last so thats interesting

azure thicket
#

deathstalker is preferred in raid but the 1st best trinket determines where you end up on meters tbh

finite current
#

Not aiming for prepatch when we doin freaking love fool's event tho xD

lilac stag
#

yeah I didn’t deep dive into it but tried the two and FI vs CB

finite current
#

Do u guys have the talents code of ST and M+s of trickster tho?

lilac stag
#

Wowhead

#

!guide

wicked joltBOT
azure thicket
#

black powder is still kinda jank since you need 3 in cds to justify it

#

it's a weird and goofy thing to get hung up on

vale pine
#

you use bp on 2+

#

storm is 3+ in cooldowns

#

strike is good ^^

azure thicket
#

buh

lilac stag
#

@chrome palm I’ll leak the DMs kekdog

chrome palm

vale pine
#

the before after patch sims

#

just don't assume its a perfect sim, i just re-simmed for the talent change

warm depot
#

needed the 8% aura nerf krappa

vale pine
#

we still have rly good cooldown alignment on the last 2 fights

#

too bad, nerfs might make this irrelevant

chrome palm
#

pirate time lfg

vale pine
#

potentially means rogue in general is worse off

#

(even tho it does not matter much)

warm depot
#

wont ever catch me playing pirate my hands are too slow for that

chrome palm
#

yeah we are gutter for rest of prepatch just log in for your participation trophy and get carried to victory

#

if you ask in outlaw

#

theyll tell you its slower than sin now

i have to send a 20 floodgate now

yeah

#

known bug

#

someone posted it on the subreddit earlier LMAO

azure thicket

just cloak it 4head

chrome palm

wait until you find out what cloak does on beta in half the dungeons

torn tide
torn tide
warm depot
#

xdd

chrome palm
#

you press cloak and still take ticking shadow damage rlly cool

warm depot
#

but its okay guys rogues fine

chrome palm
#

they bugfix surely

finite current
#

xD

#

Ain't no way

chrome palm
#

i have tried cloak on 2 different heal absorbs and it did nothing both times

warm depot
#

theyve been ignoring mechanics for too long guys

#

gotta nerf it

finite current
#

Yeah

hazy breach
#

Very common for cloak to be bugged as hell in keys

chrome palm
#

well it does nothing on the paladin boss in raid too from when it ested

finite current
#

That was kinda op for normal people

torn tide
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
finite current
#

Divine shield should be the same

#

Sheeeeeesh

azure thicket
#

cloak on flood would miss the boss mines occasionally

chrome palm
#

that might be a 1s thing

astral axle
#

sheetcret

azure thicket
#

but it seemed like netcode issue

hazy breach
#

Cloak almost never works against ground effects in keys for some reason

fresh portal
#

Sub guide says "We shift to a multi-target priority at 3 targets," but then unde AOE it says "Start using Aoe spells with 2 or more targets."

So do we AOE spells in 2 or 3 targets? lol

hazy breach
#

Strike on 2, storm on 3

#

BP on 2

alpine wraith
#

they need to whitelist many things now

finite current
#

They'll be fixing bugs till Last Titan, of course the last one would be the cloak one

alpine wraith
#

remember several situations cloak gets funny

astral axle
#

i've swapped my bp button from shift+z to 2 Gladge

and it is like my wrist pain has gone away

Shift - 3 It's for me tho

#

Easy to get to it

torn tide
#

mine is T

warm depot
#

id like to think i have regular keybinds but then my friends tell me im psycho for using alt+shift as a modifier for some things

astral axle
finite current
#

Control/Shift/Alt as modifiers tho

astral axle
#

far beyond that of the layman

bleak night
#

i dont think i'd use alt+shift as a modifier itself

#

maybe for something i rarely pressed if i absolutely needed a bind maybe

warm depot
#

my kick used to be alt shift 1 and blind was alt shift 2

bleak night
#

ok well

warm depot
#

then i moved it to m5

finite current
#

Yoink

bleak night
#

thats a little cursed

warm depot
#

im use dto insane hotkeys

#

i used to play dota with legacy hotkeys LOL

finite current
#

My kick is just F

#

I mean, easy to get to it, and fast enough

astral axle
#

F is my mouseover set focus

bleak night
#

my kick is alt+2 which is not exactly ideal but ive done it for too long to change now

finite current
#

The one who does nothing in Midnight, that's it

warm depot
#

ctrl 4 is cloak

#

ctrl 5 is evasion

finite current
#

I cannot reach 5 too easy tho

#

Are u playing on a Huntsman mini?

#

xD

warm depot
#

big hands i guess i can reach 7 np

tulip light
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
finite current
#

Oh ma gawd

#

I can barely reach 5

#

So I play around 1 2 3

#

Also playing on a Blackwidow hits hard tho

warm depot
#

i cant stand razer stuff

finite current
#

I mean they're not bad at all but meh

#

Get used to it

lilac stag
#

The only alt keybind you need is alt-f4 when you realize blizzard just fucking with us

warm depot
#

true

alpine wraith
#

some of us are just here for the love of the game to see how it ends

warm depot
#

or playing valve games just press f10 lol

lilac stag

didnt they say theyre working wit hnexon

alpine wraith

there are still starcraft tornies

warm depot

for a starcraft shooter

lilac stag
#

They are.

warm depot

that sounds cursed

but working on and actually coming out. glhf

It’s like waiting on blue rogue notes

the cinematic was so cool and then i got on to so many bugs lmfao

muted girder
#

so uhhh is anyone elses sim way more than an 8% loss after patch? i was simming 34k and some change and am now simming 28100 lol

hazy breach
#

Either way its kinda whatever as the expanions is coming out in 2 weeks

lilac stag
torn tide
muted girder
#

yeah i know we lost the talent points. but its like 19% loss lmao.

#

34k sim was from sunday also. just seems wild

hazy breach
torn tide
#

but hey atleast we'll be able to play with apexes

swift tinsel
#

I'm surprised they didn't brick the whole Strike with Full CP for Apex thing yet

hazy breach
#

Makes sense

hazy breach
#

But its like +0.5% or something

lilac stag
#

I think stat scaling with ilvl adjusted as well

swift tinsel
#

oh that's not so bad then

hazy breach
#

But idk

fallow nimbus
#

i lost like 10 haste and am not on 35% anymore pepehands

swift tinsel
#

thats like one gem

lilac stag
#

I have to look at logs to see what I was at last week

fallow nimbus
#

yeah, but where is it gone to?

lilac stag
#

squished

#

Or further squished

hazy breach
#

For some reason it seems like weaponmaster strikes are still bugged and doing way more than they should on the prepatch, despite that not being the case on beta

lilac stag
#

Goremaw’s return!

#

It’s legion 2.0

hazy breach
#

Well goremaw does less damage than strike

muted girder
#

Pretty much starting to look like rogue for raid and dk for m+ pushing lol.

lilac stag
#

Just dk both

fallow nimbus
#

wait, didn't mana oil give 15 haste per application?

muted girder
lilac stag
#

Go recruit someone from assa

hazy breach
#

Subs gonna be fine in keys too, as long as you play with a shaman

#

Its not like theyre gonna stop and never do any more tuning now

tulip light
#

wasnt rogue some comp with rsham, war, monk etc anyways? like the meele comp

fallow nimbus
#

ok, log from yesterday says i had 370 haste, now its 356

muted girder
#

Yeah, but trying to push rank 1 as a pug rogue is already insanely hard... let alone when they kinda bricked

muted girder
hazy breach
#

o push rank 1 as a non-meta pug rogue is already insanely hard... let alone when they kinda bricked

#

If you want to pug title you have to either be very stubborn or reroll to fotm

#

Thats just how it is, and how its always been

azure thicket
#

are we still using vers flask or haste flask

#

every log i looked at showed at least 330 haste and 100 extra agi which i figured was a trinket

muted girder
#

lmao trust me i know, i go through it every season. Last season i got title was season 1 dragonflight when outlaw was super strong in pugs

hazy breach
#

But idk rogue was good throughout tww

#

Both s1 and s2 rogue was like the 4th best spec, slightly worse in s3 though

azure thicket
#

idk gear is just whatever they decided to roll need on before prepatch

lilac stag
#

The weapon embellishment on beta is just the dagger right? No 1h?

hazy breach
#

THere is a bleed dagger

#

If thats what you are talking about

lilac stag
#

ye

#

Crafted right

hazy breach
#

Yes

muted girder
#

yeah i pushed 3200 s1 and 3450 s2. it just gets to a point you stop getting invited if you arent meta spec.. and sitting in lfg for hours gets old for a single inv then so dummy bricking the key 1st pull

shrewd lantern
#

i mean after a point you should really be networking

hazy breach
#

shrugeg I pugged s1 and most of s2

shrewd lantern
#

adding people who are good

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

yea remember when people are classist

#

you can always become the classist

#

me when i only invite shaman warriors druids and dhs/monks

hazy breach
#

But like, theres no way of knowing what spec is gonna be the best right now

#

Because theyll just do some random tuning and flip everything on its head anyway

alpine wraith
#

mages? never heard of em

lilac stag

DS Assa dead

muted girder
alpine wraith
#

hunters? what are those dk? is that a snack

#

get worse friends

lilac stag

What still has defensives? DK, Sub Rogue, …?

alpine wraith
#

mages get to enjoy only having block like god intended

#

the graphs will look funny first raid

shrewd lantern
#

hacha implying most pressed anything else

azure thicket
#

ignore the code of conduct reminder make calls from the chest

shrewd lantern
#

99% of the time

lilac stag
#

I’ll be enjoying life if tanky DPS ends up as 1% meta

azure thicket
#

it's definitely there this season because they're worried about raging from discerning players

hazy breach
#

DHs are still fairly tanky, just no immunity

lilac stag
#

Hunter should be decent still

hazy breach
#

If they play dark ranger for sure

shrewd lantern
#

was nether even that strong

swift tinsel
#

do they still have turtle and 2x sotf

shrewd lantern
#

i always felt havoc was better at rot damage than big hits

lilac stag
#

well kinda hard for sv to play ranger

hazy breach
#

Better to have options than to not have options

swift tinsel
#

need to have blade dance grant iframes for skill

azure thicket
#

the missed count* ele sham is worth 3 of us in a 21 at 30m and you're sending 5 paladins and a caster after a boss

we're in a 17 ;y

havoc double dance feels awesome with apex tho

looking forward to that

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

As great as unholy looks and sounds the gameplay itself isn’t enough to carry the fantasy for me

#

I’ve just been really enjoying Inertia havoc

cursive vapor
swift tinsel
#

And getting Bigger Beam and double blade dance has been quite fun on beta

upbeat garden
#

Devourer is my shit now

velvet jay
#

With the small buffs for Deathstalker and the small nerfs for Trickster, is Trickster still better for Aoe? or do you need to go deathstalker all the time for M+?

torn tide

What if we can do double non lethal poisons again and buff poisons and/or add some new ones?

muted girder
#

devourer is very fun. intertia on the other hand... this man a psycho that shit is awful

fathom adder
#

When i do the double dance-blades opener with 35% haste and chain the two dances directly togheter, the second sectec will be my 3rd finisher in dance, because it has like 5 seconds left on its cd. Is that just normal or do you wait a little bit with the second dance charge?

There’s two momentum?

Wtf lol

swift tinsel
#

yeah there's one thats 5% for 20 sec or 18% for 5 sec

left ledge
#

Oh that’s quite different than momentum

#

Isn’t momentum just on rush and retreat

swift tinsel
#

a while ago they split it up

left ledge
#

Ah

#

I guess because people didn’t like movement havoc being the play?

swift tinsel
#

yeah

left ledge
#

But you lose a lot of overall for the prio

swift tinsel
#

they also basically turned Essence Break into Lash so its just damage when you Chaos Strike or Blade Dance

Nothing more subtle than throwing gunpowder in a circle

For me by the way, it is that at some point I use the second or third sectec in the dance, and not with the blue empowered combo points - is that normal?

lilac stag

That is what we call in the biz, a mistake.

is there any good cdm looks like we used to have for WA's?

lilac stag

ArcUI can get you close

swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

I may actually release mine if I stick with it

#

gonna wait til I have more time to get all 3 done

swift tinsel
#

I'm sticking with it until the WA replacement eventually comes around

lilac stag
#

right now it just blows everything else away

swift tinsel
#

ye

lilac stag
#

Just not as user friendly

#

which is normal

swift tinsel
#

and also has a lot of features in the Options that just aren't implemented yet which clutters the space

lilac stag
#

the center fill stuff is there now too

swift tinsel
#

yeah, the Dynamic Group options were a really nice addition

#

having specific spaces saved for certain spells that you may or may not have specced into for st vs aoe for example would make things kinda weird

lilac stag
#

you can still do that as well

swift tinsel
#

ye the centering just makes it look not bad finally

lilac stag
#

I need to sort out where I want defensives and movement if I’m doing a release. Folks won’t nec like where I’ve got it haha

eager latch
#

would DS be goated if you could trigger DN with BP?

#

(DN as in Darkest Night, not Deez Nuts. Just to clarify)

lilac stag
#

deez nutz > anything deathstalker mark in current game

#

just ignore it

#

Like blizzard

swift tinsel
#

I have them below Essential but kinda want to put defensives by HP and stuns/sprint/etc stay below

idk

lilac stag

there is no saving it

eager latch

hate to see it

lilac stag

thanks for the reply king

nah keep DS in the dirt

uneven scarab

ever since the nimble change, our 2 target just feels so fucking bad man

for it to even be enjoyable

I also need to configure my Better Ability Timeline setup

lilac stag
#

I just went with DBM since the beta has audible cues

swift tinsel
#

I had the WA exactly perfect so I gotta see how close I can get to that again lol

#

also need to adjust Target Cast Bar in UUF

lilac stag
#

that’s easy enough

swift tinsel
#

ye

#

I also have Platy with some nice casting widget stuff

lilac stag
#

The ability to have colored friendly names in an instance was a bliz 🇼

swift tinsel

have non-target alpha down a bit, and casting alpha cranks it up and increases size a bit

I’ve been lazy and just using Jundies

maybe purple isn't a good idea with midnight being purple too

#

Yes

marble rock
#

Hello there, witch talent for mono plz ? (some build of wowhead is old and doesnt work)

#

In raid 🙂

hazy breach
#

The exact same as before

#

Except you dont pick cold blood

marble rock
#

what did we take with the talent point ? (thank you)

hazy breach
#

Whatever you wnat

lilac stag
marble rock
#

ty

lilac stag
#

If you want to make zero decisions

marble rock
#

best plan thank you

shrewd lantern
#

I mean the utility point doesnt matter

lilac stag
#

Worst plan

#

You’re trusting me

shrewd lantern
#

Since you already probably take the "useful" utility nodes of stealth movespeed and iron stomach

lilac stag
#

I didn’t take iron before

shrewd lantern
#

no one did i think?

lilac stag
#

I’m sure someone did

shrewd lantern
#

the stock build had it iirc

radiant swift
#

does dance+stec not work for deathstalker? the macro

hazy breach
#

It does

radiant swift
#

well shit

#

hm it does - its so weird

hazy breach
#

It works just fine

#

Its just better to start dances at low cp as deathstalker

#

But might aswell start playing trickster

radiant swift
#

yeah its just fake mythic reclears so im running full st setup but i wonder just now since u want to start low cp

#

u dont want to dance + stec anyway no>?

#

not that it realy matters in prepatchdracthyr_joy2

@swift tinsel Notice: Masque does not support or account for buttons with secret anchors, as it is depend on Button:GetSize() to function properly. Any add-on that passes a button or frame with secret anchors will cause taint/errors. At the current moment, it is the responsibility of the add-on to account for secret values.

I know. Just a fyi

tawny plume
narrow shadow
#

Is sub dead with current tuning?

vale pine
#

seems fine

#

its like, worse than before

thorny ridge
#

!FUU

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
#

but in line with other specs

#

that while still being good on the last 2 fights

#

tho a 8%+ nerf means

#

subtlety will be more towards the middle, instead of the top now

#

it already was at the lower end of the top performers

#

balance wise, the change makes not much sense for level 80

#

but dracthyr_shrug

eager latch
#

in no way was sub overpeforming in keys

vale pine
#

i can get behind the logic

#

they fixed dps bugs

#

and then implemented nerfs

#

so it keeps the power level to the one before

#

however, question is, if the "before" level is a good place to be in

fleet acorn
#

got a question for macro setup on sub, so if i use deathstalker i use a dance + fok macro and if i use trickster i use another macro for dance + sectech?

onyx flame
#

Isn’t sub one of the worst st performers now?

lucid jackal
#

There's more to this video game than Sim st patchwork dps

onyx flame
#

wow really? 🤦🏻‍♂️

plush roost
#

Yes theres also sim st patchwerk 4 minute!

uneven scarab
#

You could even do patchwerk 5 boss!!

#

so many combinations

plush roost
#

Cmon fellas lets login to classic and simulate ourselves against patchwerk!

#

Patchwerk Live-minute

torn ore
#

as sub vs soulhunter i spend with BP ?

astral axle
#

oh simulate

lucid jackal
# onyx flame wow really? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Well if you look at the Tier we just had, sub had "terrible single target" but was one of the hard carry specs especially on the later encounters, both for its high aoe burst and its st damage

#

The game has a lot more complexity than "who sims the best"

steel zinc
#

!ui

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

Subs profile has changed a little bit, the 90s is a bit weaker than in s3 but every individual dance is stronger

fleet acorn
#

lost 4k dps from yesterday to today with sim xd

#

Hey guys! Can someone explain the coming apex talents like I have 0 IQ?

hollow spear
#

That's very high IQ haptics

#

Try again

swift tinsel
#

it is a Forbidden Jutsu

swift tinsel
# strange cedar Hey guys! Can someone explain the coming apex talents like I have 0 IQ?

1st One: When you spent Shadow Techniques stacks, you have a % chance per stack consumed to spawn a clone that replicates that attack for 50% dmg
2nd One: Increases shadow damage, clones (should) grant energy and ShT stack
3rd One: If, when consuming Shadow Techniques stacks with a builder, you have 5 or more left over, your next finisher will refund combo points to allow another finisher (similar to how Shadowcraft refunds worked in TWW)

strange cedar
#

Thanks

swift tinsel
#

tldr in cooldowns you get a ton of stacks

#

and can spend them to spawn clones

radiant swift
#

if it works on sth spent so on builders how is it possible to force it to replicate a finisher?

swift tinsel
#

and we get a neato spell alert now to tell you when your next finisher

radiant swift
#

or is that a diffrent mechanic?

swift tinsel
#

because it takes the stacks and 'expends' them

radiant swift
#

or is spent ment spent spent and not filled

swift tinsel
#

which triggers the first apex

radiant swift
#

i see

swift tinsel
#

so it doesn't require them to be consumed literally

#

bit of a caveat

radiant swift
#

wait wat

#

i tought this ment literaly spent

#

as in the filled ones spent

swift tinsel
#

you can strike/bs/storm at max cp with 5+ stacks to force the finisher clone proc

#

so it doesn't require your cp to be spent and then refilled to trigger

radiant swift
#

i was about to say 50% per cp

#

means always forceable?

#

thats just a fuxked mechanic ngl

swift tinsel
#

lil bit

#

welcome to the wacky world of subtlety

radiant swift
#

and u only use it when u can get a refill so 5+ sth stacks?

#

makes even less sense

swift tinsel
#

you get a metric fuckton of stacks in cooldowns

radiant swift
#

so u permaforce?

swift tinsel
#

you can if you want, supposedly its +0.5% gain

radiant swift
#

cant wait to press a builder on max cp

swift tinsel
#

strike-evisc-strike-evisc etc instead of strike-evisc-evisc

radiant swift
#

wait if i enter

#

with more than 5sth stacks

swift tinsel
#

then you have more stacks

radiant swift
#

doesnt point 3 mean i cant fall below bcs it refills me all the time?

swift tinsel
#

you pretty much get so many stacks you can't spend them fast enough

radiant swift
#

hope there will be an explain section

swift tinsel
#

lol

radiant swift
#

i read the points as u dont even lose any

#

nvm

swift tinsel
#

I mean you replace them fast enough that you effectively don't

radiant swift
#

with a "builder"

#

important distinction

dreamy pumice
#

uh so i just came back and now we cant even use any weak auras i guess? Is there any way to see combo points central to the screen / way to add an indicator that im in dance/sub windows

swift tinsel
#

yep WA gone

#

!ui

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

bad Moroes

dreamy pumice
#

ty

swift tinsel
#

can use Wangbar or SenseiClassResourceBar for cp addon

#

Wangbar is for the people though

bleak night
#

use the command in outlaw channel

swift tinsel
#

recommend it

bleak night
#

and there are some

swift tinsel
#

ah nice

bleak night
#

wangbar op

swift tinsel
#

was messing around on outlaw the other day and saw I still have Dreadblades on my action bar lol

bleak night
swift tinsel
#

Sorry, Not Pre-Midnight Shadow Blades

upbeat smelt
#

Do you guys track stacks of Shadow technique? Is that going to be a thing at 90?

swift tinsel
#

you don't need to

#

some people do though if you want

upbeat smelt
#

Yeah that's what I thought, no no Im good lol.

#

At this state of the pre patch. If you had to make a tier list difficulty for every spec and class since the rework, where would you put the new sub for « gameplay » and « mastery » ?

#

I remember a lot of people were saying rogue in general and mainly sub was in a S tier difficulty (maybe it was also for PvP) but now what is your opinion ^^

harsh meadow
#

i think putting it into a tier is a bit reductive, its hard

#

sub is definitely easier to master but still very fun and retains what made it cool

short radish
#

Sub was never S tier in difficulty

#

tier lists are also memes

limpid sage
short radish
#

but at the very least, sub is very easy to understand now

#

the majority of the complexity behind sub was removed

limpid sage
#

Almost the entirety of it was muscle memory though I feel

#

Besides understanding the opener

#

As soon as you understood the opener you understood sub I feel

radiant swift
#

would be nice if it gets fixed (if it can)

short radish
#

but once you got it, it was so chill

chrome palm
keen dome
#

Sub wasn't difficult, imo. Sub was complex and requiered learning a few rules and quirks.

#

Once you did, it wasn't difficult at all and was pretty rote, esp once you then learned boss timings on top of it

chrome palm
#

in beta the gameplay remains easy but the optimizations are extremely unintuitive and rather impactful

radiant swift
#

ngl playing with prism doesnt make it better either

#

i feel like it does line at all

#

like im always waiting on smth

limpid sage
#

I completely zoned out on sub

short radish
#

yeah exactly

#

peak 20 seconds of just afk auto attacking

#

then do your damage

#

then back to chilling

limpid sage
#

Also didn’t feel like committing warcrimes when losing uptime on sub like I do on fury

#

(Except on Stix but that’s because his of his ball timers)

broken seal
short radish
#

yeah probably a pvp thing

#

but pvp is difficult anyway

tall girder
#

Hiiiii fimb

radiant swift
#

did tww3 sub have much less uptime on dance?

#

didnt u guys have some sort of cds rolling all the time?

chrome palm
#

slightly less than beta i guess

#

you were in dance for like 45s or something in opener

radiant swift
#

oh damn

#

where is this downtime then tho

hazy breach
#

Dance uptime is similar to s3

radiant swift
#

i feel like im constantly atleast in dance

hazy breach
#

But since its shorter you are casting it more often

warm marlin
#

Dance cd was like 22.5-23

chrome palm
#

it was more condensed though

radiant swift
#

how did u manage to line stuff up

#

with pot, prism especialy and everything

hazy breach
#

Idk what you mean

#

Prism just lines up with anything

radiant swift
#

it feels like im always waiting on somenthing

#

if i want to send it full 18stacks

chrome palm
#

you mean waiting on dance for blades?

radiant swift
#

deciding on what to wait in general

#

on opener u dont have a trinket basicaly

chrome palm
#

waiting on cds was basically what made sub difficult in terms of dps specs

#

the difference was you had a lot more flexibility in when you used dance and secret technique

#

you wouldnt lose damage by holding them for some time

#

so it was simple to line them up to blades

radiant swift
#

what was the general idea

#

i didnt play s3 so prepatch now is surely diffrent

chrome palm
#

you would only use dance like 3-4 times per every cast of blades

radiant swift
#

even when sending on cd it doesnt feel like stuff is lining up well

chrome palm
#

and you used symbols and secret technique with every dance

radiant swift
#

no makes sense

#

there was also cd on stec

chrome palm
#

for blades you would basically just want to make sure you had like 1 charge and ~30-35s on recharge of dance, and 1 charge and ~10-12s on recharge of symbols, and secret technique at ~9s before using flagellation (other 90s cd before blades)

radiant swift
#

but the idea keeps being the same? stack as many stuff as possible

chrome palm
#

in blades you would rapidly get dance and secret back up because of combo point cdr

radiant swift
#

hold as little as possible

chrome palm
#

you could hold more

radiant swift
chrome palm
#

so secret used to have like a 55s cd

#

lets say in m+

#

you have blades at 20s but everything else is up

#

if you used dance/symbols/secret to finish off a pack, you could have everything back up by the time blades was back up

#

because you would have a lot of cdr in dance

#

a better example would be like soulbinder for raid

#

you would use dance on every set of cage pops

#

it didnt matter if you held secret technique for 10s or so

radiant swift
#

but how do i know this

bleak night
#

you get told it here

chrome palm
#

you just feel it out

#

by playing the spec

#

honestly

radiant swift
#

theres so many variatons

#

and stuff happening

#

or do you run so many constant groups u get to figure it out by trying?

chrome palm
#

most people raid in a guild, and during mythic prog youre basically following a script until you get it right

#

you have a general idea of how often you can use dance, and you would be able to adjust it to some degree based on the fight

#

that was part of subtlety's strength

#

or you just go on lorrgs and copy what someone else is doing

radiant swift
#

intresting

maiden oar
#

you get 1 every 90s

radiant swift
#

especialy the degree because when thinking of it, the general idea is always as much as possible when possible

maiden oar
#

its worth more with stuff like dmg a.ps

#

multiple targets

radiant swift
#

yeah exactly

maiden oar
#

delaying for trinkets like forge

radiant swift
#

the thing you are holding

maiden oar
#

so sometimes if u wait u get more value

#

but sometimes u lose the entire thing if u wait

radiant swift
#

has to varrant the time holding + the usage

maiden oar
#

so u just have to get the most dollar

radiant swift
#

seems like a lot of testing

maiden oar
#

easiest way is after a pull just ask if there were any chances to get more value than single target blades on cd every time

radiant swift
#

figuring out which combination when

maiden oar
#

they are usually pretty obvious (adds/amps)

chrome palm
#

the combination is always the same

maiden oar
#

but sometimes it can be because of a 2 min trinket or killtime or bosses being stacked

#

but basically never lose a usage of blades unless the value of the blades you gain by doing so is at least worth 2 dollars (some dimensius push times are an example of this being true)

radiant swift
#

crazy how fast people get a grip on it

#

youd think that would take many pulls

chrome palm
#

youre not doing something totally different for each fight

maiden oar
#

also examples in fights like soulbinder

radiant swift
#

that is also true

#

killtimers are not gona differ by minutes for all bosses

maiden oar
#

doing flag blades and hitting all the monsters when all the canisters open is worth way more than 2 dollars in this example

short radish
radiant swift
chrome palm
#

its kinda whatever in m+ tbh because theres always something to do damage to its not like youre waiting for an add spawn

maiden oar
radiant swift
#

true

maiden oar
#

3:30 you go
opener w/ lily -> 90s w/ lily -> 3m with 18 stack prism

3:55 you go
opener w/ ritual forge -> 2min with ritual forge -> 3:30 with 18 stack prism

radiant swift
#

prob fun part figuring all that out

maiden oar
#

so you can guess wrong on killtime and get punished

#

im a coward and chose to not gamble if i was ever unsure hehe

#

but some people choose to risk it and try and win big

radiant swift
#

is prob more fun when it works

#

i always find myself in a situation where it doesnt feel right to send

#

esp m+

#

stuff is somehow always half dead

maiden oar
chrome palm
#

unless someone giga procs or something

maiden oar
#

thats basically it theres no other secret

chrome palm
#

you know when you get to burst

short radish
#

yeah raid is largly a dance that you repeat over and over again

cloud barn
#

are you supposed to always holding shadow dance for when sectec is off CD?

short radish
#

thats probably one of the most important things in raiding

#

is being consistent

radiant swift
#

will def be fun to prog mythic

#

and u can always look on lorrgs for refrences

#

but i wanna be that good that i can figure it out myself

maiden oar
#

you can

#

if you copy someone just ask yourself why theyre doing what theyre doing

#

if you can figure that out then you can learn to figure it out on your own

radiant swift
#

well idk if its that easy

maiden oar
#

but no shame in copying to learn its what i did

radiant swift
#

but ill def try\

maiden oar
radiant swift
#

oh def

#

but that was a good call with the dollar

#

i can basicaly check how far apart are for instance a certain spawn and just how much i get from holding for that - easy enough

#

also depending on fights sometimes stuff just naturaly aligns

warm marlin
#

and now its kinda cooked with sectec cd

#

pray that we get charges in .5

radiant swift
#

havent played it just heard that recent changes from beta were pushed to prepatch - were that all of them?

warm marlin
#

i havent played prepatch either but you're still missing apex talents

#

not that it adds a huge amount but its a decent chunk of potential optimizations

main creek
#

Just did an 18 and holy shit single target damage is just inexistant as of today

#

or is it just me?

radiant swift
#

that stuff is so cooked

#

is it atleast worth it

#

feels good to do it?

warm marlin
radiant swift
#

is it akward to play?

warm marlin
#

i didnt do much actual testing yet and it was all with base ui

#

probably a bit weird building at max cp

#

have to ask charrend or someone whos been grinding beta

radiant swift
#

mister eleem

hazy breach
radiant swift
#

figured

#

fuck it we ball

main creek
#

anyone else having trouble with single target damage as of today's patch?

tepid trellis
#

well u got smacked with like a 10% dmg loss

#

8% aura and gated moved in the class tree

main creek
#

Aoe feels mostly the same, but ST feels like it's doing half what it did yesterday

#

maybe I'm tripping

radiant swift
#

how can i like get the idea quickly for new raids to perform well? i guess mostly is expierence and watching a video of the boss and making a plan?

tepid trellis
#

watching what other people do and ask yourself why that is

radiant swift
#

do i have any more options

bleak night
#

Watching others + recording myself and watching my own vods is by far the best thing I ever did to start getting better

radiant swift
#

actualy

#

im guessing most top guilds are logging hidden at start?

#

does lorrgs still show me when they use cds? just with a hidden name?

bleak night
#

You can see beta stuff for bosses to get a feel for them

radiant swift
bleak night
#

Most bosses dont change dramatically

#

Some do though

tepid trellis
radiant swift
tepid trellis
#

but just tuned into RWF streamers

#

and watch them clear the raids

#

best way to really do it

bleak night
#

Exile gigachad

radiant swift
#

so general idea and hope my guild

#

can do atleast somewhat similar

bleak night
#

Unless youre like very very high end youre gonna have a absolute ton of logs and videos to look at

tepid trellis
#

majority of guilds just copy what they do anyway

radiant swift
#

i couldnt figure

#

is wrf in the first week when everyone else is leveling

tepid trellis
#

nope they raid same time as you

bleak night
#

Nah its on same as everyone else

tepid trellis
#

they just clear it insanely fast

radiant swift
#

makes sense

tepid trellis
#

so on the day raid opens

#

they will go in and do like 20+ heroic splits

radiant swift
#

are timers heavy diffrent between heroic and mythic

#

like extreme?

#

iirc this tier it didnt seem like it

tepid trellis
#

timers usually stay somewhat the same

bleak night
#

Sometimes adds in mythic dont even exist in heroic

#

But normally its similar

tepid trellis
#

shit just does more dmg and has more hp + a few added mechanics

radiant swift
#

will be fun

#

also despite mybe not having access to rwf

bleak night
#

Unless you are currently in echo or liquid you should have plenty of resources to look at to plan your prog

radiant swift
#

theres plenty good people that copy them that u can copy

#

do we have any weaknesses

#

high burst profile

tepid trellis
#

@naive zodiac soz for ping bud, but how many charrs you prepping for splits this time around?

bleak night
radiant swift
#

but something like swaping bad for arcane

naive zodiac
#

idk if i can say exact # but over 15

hazy breach
tepid trellis
radiant swift
#

u do what

bleak night
naive zodiac
#

this is crazy timing btw cause i was just reading the discord LO

tepid trellis
#

lmfao

radiant swift
#

wdym ur prepping 15 chars

bleak night
#

The racoon could sense you

tepid trellis
#

go back to your PoE

radiant swift
#

but like not all rogues right

naive zodiac
#

majority rogues ya

tepid trellis
#

most rogues and some DH's

radiant swift
#

surely thats not fucked

tepid trellis
#

welcome to whats known as split hell

radiant swift
#

i remember its usual to have like multiple and split and then take the best geared one

#

but 15?

hazy breach
#

Thats why you dont play in a rwf guild garf_sit

summer lynx
#

So why did we get slapped in prepatch? Feel so much weaker.

radiant swift
#

that is crazy

tepid trellis
naive zodiac
#

i’ll prob have all 3 specs for splits as usual

#

lot easier on expac launch

tepid trellis
#

disgustinnnn

torn tide
#

do yall think there'll be a maintenance today?

tulip light
#

Sub was borderline broken, the 8% nerf was blitz desperate attempt to bring us in line with weaker dps @summer lynx /s

torn tide
radiant swift
#

isnt it that super hard to like perfect all 3 specs

bleak night
# radiant swift but 15?

its an arms race to do as many splits as possible as efficiently as you can without your raiders committing suicide

#

to hope for better gear on average than the other guild

radiant swift
#

lets say u get lucky and get gear

#

u still have to help

#

right?

bleak night
#

you help other splits

#

yeah

tepid trellis
#

yes

radiant swift
#

and at what point do you not shoot yourself

warm marlin
#

rwf is not for the mentally weak

tepid trellis
#

to alleviate some pain, some people get paid to play

summer lynx
short radish
tepid trellis
#

RWL

radiant swift
tepid trellis
#

is more taxing

#

100%

#

the pure amount of shittery

warm marlin
#

poor rwl gamers

tepid trellis
#

you would hae to deal with

short radish
#

it's such good content though

#

that being said 15 chars for splits is insane

radiant swift
#

is that even fun

tepid trellis
#

i know someone who is prepping 25

radiant swift
#

like

fossil forge
#

We did 2 and it was Misery

short radish
#

i suppose winning 3 RWF in a row makes funding splits easier though

radiant swift
#

are most rwf mostly one tricks?

#

is that even possible

#

i know most have alts or secondaries

#

but do u get to play your "main"mostly

bleak night
#

at that level most can play mutiple specs

#

just depends what the raid needs that tier

#

some of them end up playing the same classes more than tohers

#

like firedup can play a bunch of stuff but i dont remember the last time i saw him not playing mage in race

radiant swift
#

so being excellent at one is less worthy than being able to flex

bleak night
#

well they are excellent

radiant swift
#

well ofc not taking anything away

#

it was more between playing 3 specs and 1

#

surely the one is ever slightly better at that specific one

torn tide
#

is sub at a bad spot rn with the bugs and that loss of damage which feels alot more than 8% for some reason

radiant swift
#

the gap is just prob not releveant

tepid trellis
#

it very much just depends on who

torn tide
#

damn

radiant swift
tepid trellis
#

its usually 1-2 classes but some cover more

radiant swift
#

i mean thats not to bad

bleak night
#

yeah i didnt mean earlier they all play every class

radiant swift
#

if u didnt have to have 15 of themdracthyr_joy2

bleak night
#

just a couple that they're really good at

radiant swift
#

no i got that

bleak night
#

tanks and healers tend to play most though afaik (within their role)

radiant swift
#

was just thinking how much better a one trick could be

#

or if it matters

tepid trellis
#

at a certain level it becomes quite easy to pick up another class

#

wow is not that hard a game

radiant swift
#

unfort

tepid trellis
#

what happens after midnight?

hazy breach
#

1am usually

tepid trellis
#

got me

#

gawd damn

naive zodiac
#

all classes become easier LO

short radish
tepid trellis
#

ah so you enter a flow state after 12pm

radiant swift
tepid trellis
#

gotcha

#

shit just becomes cake walk

tepid trellis
#

just about effort more than anything reall
