ethereals instead of haranir

I was hoping for a voidblade spec

iron whale
#

voidreaver spec, would have hit so hard fml

#

With the DS aoe buffs are we still running trickster for M+?

iron whale
#

I'm forced to limit my voidreaver fantasy to Subtlety rogue, which just isn't ot

lilac stag
#

If your LC is giving a hunter a dagger over a rogue your guild is the problem. Ain’t no one giving a 1H sword to an outlaw rogue over a DH. kekdog

#

Shame we only shipped with one set of hero talents

uneven scarab
#

Its wild isnt it

#

most other specs can atleast swap between like an aoe/st set

#

ds just kinda blows always lol

#

And not even good blow

Ds is that weird dude in the corner of the bar that you arent so sure about

torn tide
#

what actually made sub atart doing tank damage btw? couldnt have been that 8% nerf

iron whale
#

I'm still playing ds just for the aesthetic, thank god im just a filthy casual

#

gives me some extra purple void fantasy

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
broken seal
vale pine
#

you can play both

#

its rly no diffrence

#

i would suggest trickster

#

because you can macro bp and coup

#

so its easy to play

broken seal
#

I find DS is more Sub vibe and also a bit more tricky sooooo

#

actually I think ill play DS until trickster become too important

vale pine
#

they play the same

swift tinsel
#

trickster doesn't have to deal with Mark, big check in the W category

tame terrace
#

imagine if the mark could get parried

uneven scarab
#

I got news for you

tame terrace
#

🙂

#

none of this wouldve happened if they just kept sbs as it was in sl beta

uneven scarab
#

mannnn old sbs

#

so fuckin good

tame terrace
#

they should redo undead racial and make it flesh crafting

uneven scarab
#

Yo thats actual a giga brain idea

#

yes

#

Undead racial has been shit for so long

tame terrace
#

turn canabalism into flesh craft

#

let us have 2 combat racials

slate marlin
#

that would be huge

#

what 2 combat racials? touch of the grave does less dmg than /spit

Yo best race for rogue for mid igth is still NE ?

hazy breach
#

Hasnt been NE for a while

uneven scarab
#

orc

#

or whatever looks cool

#

GG

hazy breach
#

But if you want whats simming the highest its mechagnome, as it is for pretty much all other classes at the start of an expac

formal jacinth
#

Humm so play whatever then

velvet jay
#

for aoe, do I use Coup the Grace if it's up? or only black powder and secret techniques?

vale pine
#

the usual options are always good

#

dwarf, orc, human

alpine wraith
#

always human

vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug its personal decision, but i could not bring myself to play this abomination of a race starting with "mecha"

alpine wraith
#

diaper baby

formal jacinth
#

Ya same

#

Used to be a human player

#

Was ez back then

#

i was undead then blood elf then human then blood elf then back to human

hazy breach
#

You always use coup yes

velvet jay
#

Thanks

alpine wraith
#

coup does nimble so it is very strong

formal jacinth
#

Human cause of the spirit that gives all stats

#

?

alpine wraith
#

it just gives raw stats yea used to give more rep but they took that off

uneven scarab
#

the raw stats is what your after from human ya

#

double hs is pretty nice too tho

lilac stag
#

A tier transmog

#

Still not S tier like VE/BE

graceful osprey
#

I’m still undead coping that blizzard will change undead racial to be good

lilac stag
#

underwater breathing now also works out of water.

uneven scarab
#

thats a great one

lilac stag
#

Classic blizzard

shrewd lantern
#

ehh human mogs are better than velf

#

elves too tiny

lilac stag
#

it’s ok. You can be dead ass wrong.

shrewd lantern
#

Though velf getting a 50% discount is less big

#

nelf has a better elf model if you ignore the female nelf hand size

lilac stag
#

that’s like saying ignore mechagnomes legs

#

wtf are these takes

shrewd lantern
#

I mean do people stare at character hands.

#

velf just is too small in some mogs

#

Better race than belf in every way overall.

lilac stag
shrewd lantern
swift tinsel
#

nah elves too dainty

shrewd lantern
#

I mean some rogue mogs look good as elf

#

but they're way too fking small for alot of mogs

swift tinsel
#

human model looks better for transmog

#

also no weird shoulder floating

#

like nelf has

shrewd lantern
#

or play dracthyr and be a female human with horns

narrow shadow
uneven scarab
#

Wtf no

#

female human is bis

slate marlin
#

weird way to type undead

uneven scarab
#

female undead is close second

slate marlin
#

second to no one u mean

narrow shadow
#

I think I'm weird because I like playing male characters

spice matrix
#

me orc male

uneven scarab
slate marlin
#

yep, depends on race

#

and class

#

bc i wont play a male tauren rogue

uneven scarab
#

Ya..

slate marlin
#

i would play a male tauren fury

swift tinsel
#

wouldn't play male tauren anything

#

or tauren in general

#

not a fan of hooves

#

so draenei out too

slate marlin
#

one could say you love feet

uneven scarab
#

My bdk swapped to tauren for a season and it threw me off so badly lmao

swift tinsel
#

or troll feet, ick

uneven scarab
#

dude was bigger than the mob packs he was pulling

narrow shadow
slate marlin
#

ofc not. i play undead

#

superior race ya know

narrow shadow
#

I like male undead

uneven scarab
#

Male undead bdk

#

thats swag right there

narrow shadow
#

With the onyx sunglasses

swift tinsel
#

I think altogether my rogue has been undead, human, belf, nelf, worgen, orc, morc

uneven scarab
#

Human undead and orc

narrow shadow
#

The worst males are human and night elf

graceful osprey
#

I’m still waiting for those massive bulky dragonoids

uneven scarab
#

are all mine have ever been

swift tinsel
#

ye male nelf has literal orangutan arms

#

below the knee lookin ahhh

cursive vapor
narrow shadow
#

I think they did them dirty

#

They are cool lore wise

swift tinsel
#

their proportions are just wacky

narrow shadow
#

They are supposed to be agile

swift tinsel
#

and human male is too bulky

narrow shadow
#

Yet look so stiff

shrewd lantern
slate marlin
#

human male is cool

narrow shadow
#

Human male looks good as warrior

#

But that's it

swift tinsel
#

yeah thats it

slate marlin
#

but too basic for a mmo imo

cursive vapor
#

Somehow i dont like male human running animation

swift tinsel
#

if you could Slider body types that'd be sick

uneven scarab
#

if i could have the tiptoe goblin stealth animation on human female

#

PEAK

shrewd lantern
#

People play male human unironically

#

or male elf

#

weirdo

swift tinsel
#

idk I like female belf stealth creepin and the crouch

narrow shadow
#

Male Kul Tiran rogue

uneven scarab
vale pine
#

female undead animations are bis

shrewd lantern
#

there's like

swift tinsel
#

agreed

shrewd lantern
#

3 good male races

#

orc troll undead

swift tinsel
#

female undead have THE best melee animations

vale pine
#

sadly, the damge output of undead is everything else than bis

uneven scarab
#

PEAKKKKK

shrewd lantern
#

If you play male orc straightback

#

you're wrong though

#

I don't make the rules.

uneven scarab
#

You MUST play hunched orc

#

that is a fact

swift tinsel
#

orc male shoulders are bigger than most character models in their entirety lol

#

the mogs look so bad

shrewd lantern
#

true the hunch is just

#

the defining part

swift tinsel
#

hunch is og

#

ye

#

straight back looks like they're trying to fool you that they're not orcs

#

not fooling anyone

shrewd lantern
#

If you play male elf i can't take you seriously

#

either 12 or 50

cursive vapor
#

Ok

swift tinsel
#

male belf looks pretty decent for transmog but their animations are just

#

all bad

shrewd lantern
#

even male velf is better

swift tinsel
#

stances are worse

shrewd lantern
#

because you actually have a beard

swift tinsel
#

the behind-the-back 2h animation shit looks like the tackiest ever

#

doofy rp shit

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

I tried it, just not for me

uneven scarab
#

peak is fun, i wanna try that other friendslop game where you like hide bodies in the icu or whatever

shrewd lantern
#

Hold on there's a great infographic for orcs.

uneven scarab
#

sounds pretty cool

#

WHERE CAN I STEAL OTHER PPL UI’s I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE

swift tinsel
#

you can, just need to steal like 5 import codes instead of 1 lol

#

which reminds me I'm helping half the guild set them up this weekend

shrewd lantern
#

qaziui

#

or whatever

swift tinsel
#

if they use that they're on their own lol

#

haven't touched it

narrow shadow
#

And have good standing pose for transmog

shrewd lantern
#

male

swift tinsel
#

eh disagree, the offset leaning stance is a little extra for me lol

shrewd lantern
#

if anything female human is

swift tinsel
#

ye

narrow shadow
shrewd lantern
#

If you're in america kultiran is most accurate

#

to irl humans

narrow shadow
#

Some of us still identify as males

tame terrace
#

ur not a femboy? wtf

swift tinsel
#

you can identify however you want

shrewd lantern
#

idk male belves are pretty soy if you want to go down that path

uneven scarab
swift tinsel
#

choosing to play female in a game for transmog is peak immersion

uneven scarab
#

shots fired

shrewd lantern
#

Really can't talk "not a femboy" when male belf can barely grow a beard.

#

Like uhh.....

narrow shadow
#

I don't play blood elf but I think they look okay

shrewd lantern
#

Female orc looks better in mogs

#

realistically

#

🤷‍♂️

swift tinsel
#

eh, I'd take female human over female orc

uneven scarab
#

i think they both look real good in leather mogs

swift tinsel
#

the exaggerated back arch, not a fan

shrewd lantern
#

yeah human is up there

swift tinsel
#

but they're close

shrewd lantern
#

female human has the best overall mogs

uneven scarab
#

the mage tower set on a human looks insanely good

shrewd lantern
#

Male orc looks real funny when i bust out the clownsuits

#

and chase someone down with the kobyss helmet

shrewd lantern
#

4.99 or 9.99 a month?

possible silly question but does anyone know off the top of their head how much gold a current-tier raid boss drops? Google does not have helpful relevant info

tulip light

#

Precise killer in the deathstalker tree was fixed to be 20%

#

Instead of 40%

#

Which is like a 6% nerf

i see thx

Fwiw that happened like 10 days ago

How much does sub play like the prepatch at 90?

same just bp spam and 0 st

maybe 95% 99% lol

Just a quick question… does versatility bonus damage apply to all of our shadow clones?

hazy breach
#

Yes

#

Vers applies to all damage you do, regardless

short radish
#

all?

placid lynx
#

hey yall, im gearing my sussy sub rogue and got this 141, whats the best perk for sub? until i get a replace

short radish
#

just use the one that gives crit/vers

#

or the default one

#

honestly doesnt matter

placid lynx
#

ty sir

short radish
#

np

#

your question is about as important as deciding what to have for lunch

#

so of minor importance in that specific moment, but ultimately fleeting in the grand scheme of things

also kills a bit of gold from circulation too

sullen hare
swift tinsel
#

someone in guild was complaining they can't afford to upgrade gear now just from raiding/m+

astral axle
bleak night
#

yeah people complaining that its expensive is weird

#

its a very tiny amount of gold

#

my issue is just why does it exist in the first place

#

we finally had one currency to upgrade shit like it shouldve been all along, then someone from blizzard got the shakes and had to add another

sullen hare
#

Friction at work folks

#

Everyone loves friction

swift tinsel
#

my guess is its a very common denominator gold sink

#

bc errbody wants to upgrade gear

bleak night
#

wod was over a decade ago

#

we dont need everything to be a gold sink anymore

swift tinsel
#

you also get like 1.5k from doing one of the chest activities when earning spark fragments

bleak night
#

enough for consumables and repairs yeah

swift tinsel
#

so if you do 2 of the chest activities thats twice as much!

bleak night
#

insane gold inflation

#

we must curb this

short radish
#

nah we do

#

to stop token prices going up

swift tinsel
#

3 Awakening the Machine runs can cover all upgrades

short radish
#

its the same shit as armor repairs

#

just minor gold sinks

bleak night
#

no amount of gold is worth awakening the machine

#

but i simply disagree that this needs to be a gold sink

swift tinsel
#

it is when you gotta get your spark fragment to craft

#

idk I don't see it as obtrusive

bleak night
#

there are more than enough gold sinks already

#

its not obtrusive, its just silly

swift tinsel
#

its perpetual vs one-time sinks like transmog or bank slots

fallow glade
#

they should add an actual gold sink like osrs

bleak night
#

there are plenty of perpetual sionks

bleak night
#

unironically

#

it should cost millions

astral axle
#

bro i need thajt gold to buy more canmdles

fallow glade
lilac stag
bleak night
#

yes

#

long ago we knew stones were gone

lilac stag
#

I’m just assuming it’s too much work to recode it one currency or there was an error and this was the fix

lilac stag
bleak night
#

intended

fallow glade
#

they actually meant to change the upgrade currency to hearthsteel and accidentally made it gold feelsokayman

bleak night
#

or well

#

idk who the fuck uses upgrade on beta

bleak night
#

idk if it was gone

#

but it was already confiremd they would not be needed

lilac stag
#

Yeah so if it was intended I’m gonna assume this was way easier to implement

bleak night
#

insane take

lilac stag
#

really? They’re fucking slop coding shit

I don't mind the change to gold tbh

tribal blade
#

my guildies are playing tbc

#

and someone just told them "go back to retail"

#

and they told me classic players think retail players are worse

#

which is hilarious

bleak night
#

because tbc and classic are hardcore like mmos used to be

#

ignore the fact that they were successful because they were more casual friendly

tribal blade
#

also ignore the fact that retail bosses are probably x10 harder

fleet wharf
#

what do you mean I need to press more than shadowbolt

tribal blade
#

insane

fleet wharf
#

but to be fair, we are going there.

tribal blade
#

rotation wise yeah

fleet wharf
#

yea, fair point

tribal blade
#

difficulty wise not sure

grand rivet
#

were far away from 15 second mana breaks every 6 mobs

tribal blade
#

we'll see

#

i'm totally fine with the game becoming easier overall

bleak night
#

i think aff is legit running out of mana in prepatch

fleet wharf
#

I really hope the raids will be fun. I don't have much reason to be pessimistic there, but it would be a bummer if they missed on the first season after gutting rotational complexity

tribal blade
#

max said he finds the fights good

#

so far from testing

swift tinsel
#

certainly has no stake in that

fleet wharf
#

i mean you can also watch the beta tests, they don't look much simpler than before

lucid jackal
fleet wharf
#

True, but I feel beta testing has never been a good indicator of how bosses will be in retail anyway. I think ppl thought Tindral would be easy and boring based on beta testing

torn tide
#

guys whats making sub do so little damage?

fleet wharf
#

them merging beta tuning to prepatch where we don't have the scaling/tools that made sub "ok" in beta

#

not much we can do here, just go play some other games until midnight launches

lucid jackal
#

Apex is gud, burst windows in raid exist, burst aoe still very strong

#

The spec still has its application

torn tide
lucid jackal
#

I wouldn't call it really weak rn, But yeah, apex will help it's damage

chrome palm
#

i really like fights like nexus king p1 where theres lots of dodging

tribal blade
#

because they actually listen to him

chrome palm
#

most fights felt like it was a problem for the raid to solve without as much individual play

chrome palm
#

theres nothing like that in season 1

#

unfortunately

tribal blade
#

ah damn

chrome palm
#

i liked kyveza too for sure

#

maybe last boss

#

but we dont know

astral axle
#

kyveza one of my favorite bosses in the game ever

#

real good

chrome palm
#

kyveza was really good

astral axle
#

very satisfying to prog

#

unlike other bosses that tier :))

chrome palm
#

i never got to prog kyveza 🙈 but it was fun on reclear

#

it was fun trying to kill the other rogue when they put us in the same section tho

astral axle
tribal blade
#

it felt like a very clean boss design

#

visually looked great

#

and it felt just hard enough without being toxic

short radish
#

kyveza separated the wheat from chaff

#

fun fight though

tribal blade
#

a lot of wiping to people dropping stuff in the wrong place

#

also a lot of wiping to people not being able to dodge

short radish
#

yeah

#

felt very similar to painsmith tbh

tribal blade
#

i thought i would be boned playing at 200ms and no cheat dodging lines

#

but i didn't die as much as other raiders on my team

short radish
#

"a lot of wiping due to people dropping stuff in the wrong place, and also people not being able to dodge"

tribal blade
#

haha true

#

i think painsmith was definitely more painful to prog

#

by far

short radish
#

oh definitely

astral axle
#

and ps was far less pretty

tribal blade
#

you wanna talk about a boss that's hard to do with high ms

#

it was painsmith

#

holy shit

#

that was a terrible experience

Does DN on your cdm disappear with a delay? Since yesterday, I've often seen the DN disappear about a second after casting evis, which is a bit annoyinggarf_sit

Resolved an issue that could cause players to unintentionally flag for PvP when casting spells such as Mage’s Ice Lance or Rogue’s Secret Technique.

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique

Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:

/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm

This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.

/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Ancestral Call

Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:

/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder

You can find more macros and details in Guides like wowhead WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

I remember during the diablo event

going into stormwind

and sectech

#

and getting fucking obliterated

brisk onyx
#

This bug has existed since the birth of tech, and I'm glad they finally discovered it after so long omegalul

lilac stag
#

Wait did they actually say they fixed it?

sullen hare
#

They probably fixed it because mages complained

vale pine
#

they probably fixed it because it was a pita in the pre patch event

#

which even without this is a big dissapointment

lilac stag
#

Im just am not seeings notes. Where was this

tribal blade
#

in before the devs are like "there we go, sub rogue worked on, onto the next"

sullen hare

#

Woah sectec fixes

vale pine
#

i mean

#

little fuu does the event with his girlfriend

#

does world event in the mines

#

out of the sudden (without shadowstep/strike) falls through the floor

#

gets disconnect, and after multiple attempts needs to use the "unstuck" feature to fix

#

then decides, dragon riding is great, disconnects every few minutes because collisions in the event zone are stupid

#

the event is from a user perspective, even ignoring other issues, not ideal

vestal relic

damn thats a really nice way of putting it

imagine being a kid and you just fall through the floor

if you think there are no pedos in wow i have bad news

i mean all games have them idk why people want to focus what i find funny is the complete ignorance they show tho

#

0 will to make it better

#

guess that is the worse part

vestal relic
#

not what i think just the size of the problem is not the same imo

#

and your right about the worst part

vestal relic
#

but as customer except not paying i don't see how we can make it better

#

if corporate prefer to close it eyes to the problem

alpine wraith
#

what you can do is acquire lots of shares and be in a shareholder meeting

#

to flame their asses

vestal relic
#

x)

alpine wraith
#

might need some millions of dollars

#

a little loan

vestal relic
#

very realistic

#

loan that to me ill happily flame them

until they want to adress the issue

Tanks are now upset that sub dps is to low in 13+ keys... And I was having a great time before patch day 😭

brisk onyx
alpine wraith
#

damn they caught us

keen dome
#

I don't think most people care about Sub DPS in low keys, or enough to not invite them at this point.

#

It's prepatch lol

alpine wraith
#

some people will

#

others just ignore you because you give shit all as buffs

#

some will tell you others just decline

sly shore
#

This is what pre-patch keys look like

#

It basically doesn't matter what dps you do you 3 chest everything

keen dome
#

Yeah

#

I had two DPS doing less than a tank buddy and we still timed a +12 at +2 without any issue

#

It's just the typical bad player weridos fixating on things they don't understand and can't control.

alpine wraith
#

also if the tank is a bear

#

it is ok to do less dps than them

#

blizz put and extra 0 or two on some thin gs

mfrs doing 50k dps

Theres a ton of nuance once u have apex talents dw

finite crow
#

Became incel class along with the rest, just less dmg

vale pine
#

so everything will play like what you discribed

#

the shift of the game is to satisfy what they assume is their (core) audience

plush roost
#

Meh, people will still green parse on the 2 button spec and wonder why

vale pine
#

if you disslike the direction, its likely that you are not part of the target group

finite crow
#

Ye idk if wow had a new player in last 4 years

grand wyvern
vale pine
#

wow did not grow massively going from player counts

#

or well statistics

lilac stag
vale pine
#

it might grew because of china re-releases or other things

#

but going from account age

#

there is no significant growth

#

if anything, it shows quite stagnant at a low rate for the last 2 xpacs

#

with higher growth before that

lilac stag
#

@plush roost long time rogue (3 weeks). now upset. classic.

#

it's the percentile of your dps compared to players of the same spec recorded on warcraftlogs, if you are below 50% it gives you a green color, it is often seen as a proxy for performance and it depends on performance of course but also gear, kill time, mechanics and other shit

how are you able to handle 3 buttons?

dense geode
#

Isn’t apex talent just shadow craft

lilac stag
#

fkn mad skillz mate

graceful osprey
#

I do miss the omega burst damage tho. Soulbinder was my favorite fight just because of numbers everywhere

hazy breach
#

It is what it is, were still bursty but more of it is focused around dance itself

#

Rather than 90s

plush roost
lilac stag
#

@plush roost remind me again, what did you want sht bar to show/work?

hazy breach
#

So we would generally be better at bursting down adds on a fight like araz/dimmyp2, but a bit worse on damage amps like nexus king

graceful osprey
#

The 18 stacks of netherprisim + all CDs was Cinema

plush roost
lilac stag
#

hmm. All you can likely do is a secondary bar to track how may you have. Not the calculation for fills

plush roost
#

Ye thats why i say its somewhat blackboxed, tracking them isnt the hard part its tying it into my bar

tribal blade
#

why exactly did they blackbox it

plush roost
#

They basically did that to everything except maelstrom and dh soul frags

#

Afaik

tribal blade
#

ahh ok

#

pretty lame

hazy breach
#

Its more like the opposite, they purposefully didnt blackbox stuff like energy

plush roost
#

But they change addon restrictions every day so who knows what else

hazy breach
#

"blackboxing" is like the entire point of the midnight addon changes, so we dont have another fractillus garf

tribal blade
#

the inability to track my sht like i did with WAs is bothering me atm

plush roost
#

Ye its like not the biggest deal

tribal blade
#

that's the 1 UI issue i'm having

plush roost
#

I can see the stacks as an icon

#

Just not aesthetically pleasing to me is all

#

Like i had someone ask me how i have all these WAs on my beta UI lmao

tribal blade
#

LOL

plush roost
#

Its just ui reskins idk good enough right.

tribal blade
#

max was saying the race is gonna be people in chat asking "i thought they nuked addons"

#

"are they cheating"

#

"what's going on"

fathom adder
#

why do you strike at 5 sht stacks?

hazy breach
#

To proc apex

tribal blade
fathom adder
#

okay thank you, kinda thought only finisher will proc apex

tribal blade
#

may god have mercy on your soul

hazy breach
plush roost
hazy breach
#

Then a finisher consumes it

plush roost
#

Like shadowcraft of the past with extra steps

fathom adder
#

thank you for the explanation

hazy breach
#

In theory its good so that the refunds arent "random" as they were with shadowcraft

#

But obviously its a bit janky in practice since we have this optimization

tribal blade
#

i'm not gonna lie this apex is kinda confusing

hazy breach
#

Its just got confusing tooltip

tribal blade
#

i'm not smart so my brain has a bit of a hard time wrapping around it

fathom adder
#

its worded weird yes

tribal blade
#

but yeah i get it fully now

solemn lance
hazy breach
#

If you press a builder and you have more than 5 sht stacks left afterwards > You get a proc (with a big spell alert on your screen)
Proc makes it so your next Finisher refunds the sht

tribal blade
#

and then that refund is expending CPs so it procs apex 1

hazy breach
#

Yerp

tribal blade
#

very cool

lilac stag
#

Do we think it’s going to actually go live like that is still the question.

tribal blade
#

prophet been busy in housing brain haha

tribal blade
hazy breach
#

They can make it so it only procs if you actually generate combo points

#

Instead of being just using a builder

tribal blade
#

that would be good

hazy breach
#

Idk

#

I dont think so

tribal blade
#

ah ok

hazy breach
#

It would fix it yes

tribal blade
#

because it takes away agency?

hazy breach
#

But then when we want to pool sht

#

We would sit at 6 cp

#

With capped energy

#

Instead of spamming backstab at 7

tribal blade
#

mmm ok yeah

#

is that the move before dances, you spam backstab at 7 until you have 5 sht, go into dance, cancel aura apex on sectec then apex the next finisher?

hazy breach
#

Yes, but you also dont need to cancelaura it for sectech

placid storm
#

Fingers crossed for the import for sub .)

tribal blade
#

oh shit ok

hazy breach
#

Since you supercharge sectech its kinda fine, and if cancelaura you sometimes end up with sht stacks leftover after dance

#

Which isnt great

tribal blade
#

ahh ok i see

hazy breach
#

But also if you have premed up when you finish it autocancels the apex (bug)

tribal blade
#

premed bugs yet again

#

amazing

hazy breach
#

But it doesnt really matter much

hollow spear
#

Quick question

#

Is cancelling your aura the opposite of aura farming?

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

@plush roost so yea it would just be a second combo point bar and to me it looks wildly out of place

#

Instead of just a single icon for it

vestal escarp
#

Thats what i had since amirdrassil

#

Cp bar for sht

#

They went purple when i had 7

#

Rip WAs

tribal blade
#

i just had a number over my CP bar

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

but the way it was positioned was much better than default UI right now

hollow spear
#

I just guess my cp and finish when I think they're high enough

hollow spear
lilac stag
#

ui likely bugged

dense geode
#

why would shiv work with ancient arts

vestal escarp
lilac stag
#

That’s just the icon

#

Redoing bar now

alpine wraith
#

any cp gen works to proc apex

dense geode
#

but Arts1 say abilities that expend shadow tech

grand wyvern
#

arts4

dense geode
#

so this thing that says bug isnt actually a bug

#

unless im missunderstanding

grand wyvern
#

i think you are mixing up 2 different effect of apex, first point is generating clones, last point is triggering sht

dense geode
#

Im just asking about the thing on the bug page

#

it says Arts1 does not trigger on shiv

lilac stag
#

@plush roost that's would be closest I can get it where it would color change the first 5

#

@vestal escarp ^

vestal escarp
#

Hhmm

#

I'd have made only 5 slots

#

Those are what matters for craft anyway

hazy breach
#

Shiv is a damaging attack that expends shadow techniques, but it cannot create a clone that repeats the attack

#

Is that not a bug?

haughty mural
#

@lilac stag I respect it, and I love what you have done

lilac stag
#

more traditional CP maybe better with sht bar

haughty mural

But i hate arcui with a passion

But I’m on battle shout duty

#

Rip Fr Oz

#

Of the holy order

dense geode
hazy breach
#

Yes

#

As it should

#

Because its a combo point generator

dense geode
#

i see ok

haughty mural
#

Come into the raid, press shout and go afk

dense geode
# hazy breach Yes

is that a good thing for us tho would we ever want to use shiv for that

lilac stag
hazy breach
#

But it just does less damage

#

Like its still consuming the sht stacks

#

But you are not getting any clones from it

#

So its just strictly worse

dense geode
#

ok

#

😭

hazy breach
#

But youre not pressing shiv rotationally anyway

#

So

haughty mural
sly shore
haughty mural
#

Arcane mage does sim 64% above

you just drag abilities with charges onto it and it makes a bar

@vestal escarp 5cp, still counts stacks poggers

#

Now when it's filled you know you're pressing the finisher 2 times

lilac stag
#

nothing is really attached to anything else.

#

Raid Leader: so explain to me how your account got banned?

Me: well you see, I started selling a custom UI in the rogue discord and …

odd sandal
#

New to spec. So if I have 10 pts in sht and 2 in combo pts, if I slam an Evis will it be like a 7pt finisher?

hazy breach
#

No

#

If you have 2 combo points, it will be a 2 combo point finisher

uneven scarab
torn tide
#

i think whats theyre asking is "how much does more points do i get from sht when i use builder while having sht stacks"

#

if im not wrong it just uses however many stacks it can right?

#

so if ur at 2 combo points and u have 5 stacks then it becomes 7 combo points?

swift tinsel
#

If you use a builder, yes, but not if you just “slam Evis”

#

At 2cp

#

It will add however many stacks to the cp your builder would grant normally, up to a full cp bar

#

If you have 2 cp and 5 stacks and use backstab, it will grant 1 (from backstab) plus 4 from your stacks so you have 7 cp

lilac crag
#

wouldn't it make sense to put shiv into rotation during blades/dance just based off danse macabre

hazy breach
#

No, because strike does more damage than shiv+macabre

lilac crag
#

ill have to test that, macabre does 420% attack power as shadow damage and there's a bunch of shadow damage amp in the talent tree as well

swift tinsel
#

strike is like 480something% iirc

lilac crag
#

shiv itself does 125%, plus the 420%+ from macabre

swift tinsel
#

also gains multiple % damage mods from talents

#

it's already been looked into

lilac crag
#

true

uneven scarab
#

The globals are extremely tight in dance, shiv is bad

#

u want big dam

swift tinsel
#

yep, and strike is big dam

hazy breach
#

Shiv does less damage than backstab or storm

#

And if you really want you can use one of those, but its not better than just using strike

#

So why bother

uneven scarab
#

Yeah if macabre was good enough we would be using stab and storm in dance even in st

hazy breach
#

You can use BP on singletarget too if you want, when you dont have supercharger or apex activated and have already used eviscerate, but like, the sim doesnt differenciate the results because theyre so similar, so why bother

lilac stag
#

The sub rogue way. Try to take an effective and simple approach and krangle the fuck out of it.

torn tide
uneven scarab
#

I mean you dont need to, maybe if you wanna pool some before dance its useful ig

swift tinsel
#

Eh

uneven scarab
#

but you dont HAVE to

swift tinsel
#

If you don’t think you’re capable of reacting to the spell effect

torn tide
uneven scarab
#

^^

swift tinsel
#

Yes

uneven scarab
#

it uses as many as it can

#

wont waste tho

torn tide
#

ahh so it wont overflow n get wasted, it just uses what it needs

#

got it

uneven scarab
#

Yep

swift tinsel
#

Yeah, can only use as many as it takes to fill your bar

torn tide
#

great thanks ill probably just not track it then

swift tinsel
#

You get so many stacks during dance/blades that you proc the apex all the time

#

yeah buff but iirc people are not happy playing it rn

hazy breach
#

I mean the reason pvp played it was because eviscerate does like 70% less damage in pvp

grand wyvern
#

they don't press their main ability in ST

hazy breach
#

So anything that buffs finishers generally stink

#

Sub is generally just a stunbot

back to mage it is

vale pine
#

subtlety was too good in a combo with heavy hitting specs

torn tide
vale pine

like mage

#

thats why it was reduced to only do cc more or less

#

but nobody cares that mage has a ton of cc too and does damage

grand wyvern
#

it's always mage

uneven scarab
#

paying for the sins of pvp as usual

vale pine
#

dracthyr_shrug not that i care, just saying, this feels inequal

swift tinsel
#

Should really just delete pvp as a game mode

vale pine
#

pvp is already a small niche conent

swift tinsel
#

Instead of perpetually neglecting it hoping the player base abandons it as well

vale pine
#

let players have fun

uneven scarab
#

It needs to be entirely separate if anything

#

abilities shouldn’t even be the same

#

we shouldn’t suffer because something is broken in pvp

grand wyvern
#

i mean, buttons already do different amount of damage and duration of effects in pvp, it already is another game

vale pine
#

you would usually play other games

#

if you want a pure pvp experience

lilac stag
#

Just make a tournament pvp realm server. No leveling. no questing. Just arcade mode PvP.

Pvp in wow is also unique though

hazy breach
#

Can play classic, theres a lot of NPCs there

uneven scarab
#

for the most part

vale pine
#

unique does not mean good

uneven scarab
#

Right, but clearly some people enjoy wow pvp

torn tide
#

sometimes its nice using the stuff i grinded for to go fight someone that has strategy and and actual brain but 90% of my gameplay is just dungeons

uneven scarab
#

Wouldnt exist otherwise

torn tide
vale pine
#

pvp was a more central part of the game in the more classic xpacs

grand wyvern
vale pine
#

the game just survived long enough to still have a community around it

torn tide
vale pine
#

i don't want to draw comparisons, because i know if i do it would be unfair to pvp players

#

but lets say they are a small minority with a lot of vocal individuals

#

pvp being part of wow's esport keeps it relevant

grand wyvern
#

i don't think average gamer even knows wow could be esport outside of the race

vale pine
#

the race is not an official wow event

#

technically, blizz always states they do no special treatments for the race

#

reality is, they do A LOT

grand wyvern
#

yet it is more widely recognized than the events blizzard tries to push

#

esports always only worked when it comes from community grassroots, forcing titles to esports has been proven a bubble

hollow wigeon
#

Yall could always go play Fellowship if you have a problem with PvP

uneven scarab
#

That game is dead already

vale pine
#

and it seems like i was correct on that

man i cant wait for midnight

#

surely apex will make rogue become a god if used correctly

uneven scarab
#

If only we got updated clone visuals too

#

soon surely

torn tide

rn the only somewhat nice visuals are when i shadowstrike or coup

than the purple farts

If your comparison for "how good is rogue" when comparing to the actual best specs in the game, then yeah it's ass. But balance patches are on the way still, and also, rogue is surprisingly close either way

Not sure what trinkets are really looking like in midnight

limber ore
hazy breach
#

Theres no strong stat on-uses

#

Or well, with their budget in the on-use

#

Like araz or prism, which provide almost nothing passively but massive stats on-use

#

All the ones in midnight have passive agi, and a minor stats on-use, like puzzlebox

uneven scarab
#

mehh that kinda sucks

#

We are much less reliant on our 90s window as well

Regular dances are strong

Ye because one has an animation that feels good to press (and looks cool), while the other requires you to be stationary and does the same thing as most trinkets without any animation
