no you wait for sec tech

#

dance has 2 charges it can wait

quick swan
#

Just at the ltieral bottom of the meters when waiting lol

haughty mural
#

its usually not like you wait a minute

quick swan
#

Well yeah but Im seeing like 10-15 seconds of desync

#

Unless you just sit on capped dances idk

alpine wraith
#

that does not make much sense tho

#

unless you are running very low haste and messing up here and there

quick swan
#

Prob, first time on it and I was kinda winging it. Used to the old version, also didnt optimize my gear

#

Few factors I guess

tribal blade
#

immediate PTSD from losing keys trying to skip packs in DHT

#

nothing better than watching an imp just start casually bouncing towards a trash pack during shroud and give nearby mobs a big hug

tribal blade
#

hey question how do you figure out how much potent powder is increasing BP by

#

is it the actual amount of stat or the % of the stat

#

say i have 168 mastery then it's increasing BP by 50.4?

hazy breach
#

%

#

So 100% mastery is 30% more damage

tribal blade
#

also it's kinda funny that it has "when it spends 5 or more combo points" attached to it

#

seems like they just wanted to make the tooltip longer

#

because that 2nd part is pointless

#

unless they were trying to hand hold people into understanding sub doesn't want to send finishers at low CP

alpine wraith
#

i think it is because they repurposed some of the new DN code for it

tribal blade
alpine wraith
#

well it works

#

or maybe they just made a totally new thing

#

only they know

tribal blade
#

we do take the no bug situation as a win

alpine wraith
#

i do expect some funny situations from people not knowing how haste works with sub

#

or why is it not SUPER good anymore kinda

#

as more bugfixes come

hollow spear
#

Since the extra gcd already works via spreadsheet, people not knowing will probably be in the majority anyway

alpine wraith
#

extra gcd with extra leewat

#

imo 0.2 might be too litle

#

0.4 is safer

vale pine
#

the sim considers a delay for the first cast in dance if its strike

fleet acorn
#

@vale pine How much dps difference as deathstalker is not using dance + Shuriken Storm macro and Play it like trickster with dance + st macro

tribal blade
vale pine
#

so you would either use dance + strike as macro or dance + storm

#

using dance + strike as macro is perfectly fine, if you make sure to hit the button twice fast enough

tribal blade
#

i can't use the dance+strike macro anymore since they broke it

#

every time it doesn't instantly fire the strike i get mega tilted

vale pine
#

to be fair

#

i tested in game, and with my haste values currently

#

i don't lose casts from not using macros

#

which means, the macro use is, to a degree, dependent on your haste

tribal blade

#

also the macro is kinda easy mode if you are a new player

#

macro secret + dance + blades

#

use the macro on finishing combo points

tribal blade
#

to give a bit more agency

vale pine
#

i have blades as modifier

#

so if i press a modifier, it won't use blades

#

(shift is what i typically use)

tribal blade
vale pine
#

the irony is, i have enough empty keybinds now to use it manually

#

so its just out of lazyness

alpine wraith
#

ehehje

tribal blade
#

need to keep those empty binds for when they add more abilities

vale pine
#

i would prefere goremaws to be removed rather than buffed

runic sinew
vale pine
#

deathstalker in general likes to start with dance on lower combo points

#

not entirely sure why, but it seems better in simulations

fleet acorn
tribal blade
#

try mashing the macro next time till it goes off

celest night

@vale pine do you have an idea of which spec is the best now for beta and prepatch? Probably we will try an event with 4-8 groups and who will push the higher and Id like to play the one with the most dmg

#

I know it's a bit random just asking , mainly I play assa but I feel like sub is better now?

lilac stag
lilac stag
vale pine
tribal vortex
#

yeah pre patch does not matter only asking if you know which would be the better as I think this will be done on pre patch servers

plush trout
#

from what shindigg said, prob deathstalker sub/ outlaw fatebound will be the way to go

#

assa got too nerfed on caustic to have any impact on m+

#

also energy regen feels bad

tribal vortex
#

I did some keys like 10 days ago and energy was ok in big pulls, also doing like 20's you can pull really big so energy is very much ok if you have more than 7-8 mobs

swift tinsel
#

pretty sure sin doesn't get extra energy from VW past 5 targets

tribal vortex
#

You have dashing scoundrel

swift tinsel
#

ye that plus seal fate

#

so just more cp per fok/ct

#

also trickster sub > deathstalker sub generally

prime raft
#

we got nerfed agian? looks like ima be sticking with TBC and skip midnight

swift tinsel
#

went back and listened to the stream and it was a oofer

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

hating on trickster automatic L

hazy breach
#

I love playing deathstalker and cancelauring my apex talent on darkest night everytime in 3+ targets

swift tinsel
#

peak gameplay intuitive fun

hazy breach
#

Tbf it's probably 4/5 targets now with the bugfix,but still

swift tinsel
#

just a stinky system all around

#

yay for another xpac

austere spear
#

Whats the dps loss if we dont cancel?

plush trout
#

DS sub should have been the way to go from the beginning, it just fits the class fantasy

hazy breach
#

Depends on target count, but like 3-4% on high counts

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

tHrEe buTtOn SpEC

hazy breach
plush trout
#

yep that s true

austere spear
#

Id rather have old sub back then have to cancelaura

hazy breach
#

Old deathstalker cancelaurad darkest night itself on aoe

slate marlin
#

if old sub is tww version i agree

south pelican
#

Surely they do one more pass on sub

hazy breach
#

But they made it so you can't cancelaura darkest night

swift tinsel
#

just make dn cleave til they redo the whole tree

plush trout
#

NF from trick was to much fun, u could decimate a target while destroying another 7

north schooner
swift tinsel
north schooner
#

moon phases are easy, ion's mood will be tricky

plush trout
#

so basically they pruned sub for the com just make their life hard by adding macros for a specific situation, at this point just leave sub hard and only buff the dmg xD

swift tinsel
#

we can throw in Milankovitch Cyclicity in there too for funsies

swift tinsel
#

better to apex black powder

#

in aoe

hazy breach
#

This newly added talent is the reason why its even worth using darkest night to begin with

#

And the apex talent only buffs the initial hit of the spell (ie the eviscerate or the BP) and not these mass casualty hits

#

And since almost all of the value of the darkest night is in mass casualty rather than the hit itself

#

Buffing the hit is pointless

#

When you could instead buff your next BP

full bobcat
#

but how would you reapply the mark if using eviscerate has no value in AoE? or only has no value when we got apex + darkest night, then the next hit is evis? I'm a bit lost here, sry

hazy breach
#

Strike

rustic raven
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
full bobcat
#

oh so you can ignore darkest night and then use strike to apply the mark?

hazy breach
#

Thats what you did all throughout tww yes

#

But now with mass casualty you dont

#

(you cannot lower the mark below 3 when darkest night is active)

finite crow
#

and mc doesnt proc then ye?

hazy breach
#

Correct

finite crow
#

so you actually want to evis it

#

?

hazy breach
#

But also deathstalker is like -15% behind trickster in aoe

hazy breach
graceful rock
#

Is !bugs updated?

hazy breach
#

yes

graceful rock
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
finite crow
#

i mean rogue is just ass rn

#

time to gear up my augmentation xD

hazy breach
#

shrugeg Sub is doing well in keys

ionic flint
#

i checked the pins but is there somewhere maybe a diff section i can find a place for prelim best in slot trinkets?

coarse dew
hazy breach
#

Cancel apex, not darkest night

#

(because you cant cancel darkest night)

full bobcat
#

@hazy breach is there a readme or even a draft where I can read more about this cancel apex in depth and why is it?

hazy breach
coarse dew
#

Right thanks

hazy breach
#

But again, none of this really matters as well just play trickster instead

slate marlin
ionic flint
#

yes but actully just super specifically best two trinkets

slate marlin
#

i doubt anyone is running sims for that

south pelican
#

Does anyone have a sim sheet of the races? I CANNOT be a mechagnome

ionic flint
runic sinew
#

I'm just waiting for Secret techiniques Apex clones fix

graceful rock
slate marlin
alpine wraith
#

right now the puzzle box and another on use seem decent

#

there is also a crit one but it is undertuned maybe they buff itr

hazy breach
alpine wraith
#

yep

hazy breach
#

The other one seems kinda whatever

#

Maybe haste on-use, maybe puzzlebox, maybe crit on-use, maybe passives'

graceful rock
#

Big trust in the plume rn

#

Save us from puzzle box jail

alpine wraith
#

puzzle box might be a bit unlikely unless we do some silly things and just run 2 on uses

#

one for blades and another one in between

#

then the other on blades

#

etc

#

the haste on use seemed so good but now that so many apex and finisher things are being fixed and mastery is coming in strong

#

and more sht

#

maybe we just skip

shell willow

!fuu

glad bough
#

how do i smooth out the portion of our rotation where i feel like i am spending 10+ seconds just for 1 builder 1 spender or is that just the nature of it

warm marlin
#

make sure to be auto attacking since it gives energy and otherwise that's just the way it is

#

you dont have energy outside dance so you play very slow

swift tinsel
#

are there jeweler's settings in midnight to add sockets?

hazy breach
#

nop

swift tinsel
#

hmge

#

less gold for me then as a jc lol

hazy breach
#

All jewelry come with a socket attached

#

But the vault sockets remain for other slots

#

The last boss ring that is 100% haste also has 2 sockets

swift tinsel
#

was looking at some in top gear and must have nabbed the wrong version

#

ye saw the neck has 2 also

#

abyssal hymn

#

tier legs or gloves off-piece?

lilac stag
#

You can socket the PVP stuff still no?

#

I didn’t look to see if those sockets were still avail

alpine wraith
#

think those come with sockets on jewelry too

swift tinsel
#

there's a Galactic Jeweler's Setting

alpine wraith
#

then the normal things to socket are wrist belt head

swift tinsel
#

for midnight pvp

alpine wraith
#

yep

#

dont steal my video idea btw of telling people to craft full haste engi wrist

swift tinsel
#

lmao I'm no youtuber

alpine wraith
#

with that and tier + 1 ring we get close to 700

#

nah it was a joke

swift tinsel
#

next thing you know I'm on a max stream giving hot takes

alpine wraith
#

i havent watched any max stream rogue parts

swift tinsel
#

saying trickster is trash

alpine wraith
#

for a while

#

rofl who was that

swift tinsel
#

I watched just the rogue one after work last night

#

uhh shidigg I think

alpine wraith
#

ah he is more of an overall guy i think

swift tinsel
#

ye he went full vibes ig

alpine wraith
#

i mean for rogue you have kinda me and whisp everyone else is just doing everything at once kinda to get max coverage

swift tinsel
#

and isn't a big fan of rogue in midnight from the sound of it

alpine wraith
#

not a bad strat but things can fall

#

in going into misinformation angle

swift tinsel
#

yeah I don't really listen to anyone I don't see talking here when it comes to content creation lol

#

after spending 0.1 seconds on the forum I know there's plenty of people who say dumb things

steel zinc
alpine wraith
#

there was a time i went to diff videos and left comments but

steel zinc
#

Or how do we get sockets?

alpine wraith
#

pvp is for kinda week 1 stuff

#

you get conquest wrists and socket them

#

or crafted ones

#

maybe get the pvp badge

lilac stag
alpine wraith
#

the crafted ones yea the normal pvp ones no

#

you just get the crafted ones kinda for free because remember the seasonal quests

lilac stag
#

Guess we drop enchanting for engineering.

alpine wraith
#

that give x things to craft

#

nah engi is not a big win just makes other gearing a bit easier

lilac stag
#

well I like having Jeeves. Hahah

alpine wraith
#

oh yea im perma engi/lw

lilac stag
#

I miss Jeeves on my rogue

hazy breach
lilac stag
#

I’ll leave other alchemy if flasks are still extended

alpine wraith
#

may be able to use crafted engi helmet too but idk what embellish are good

#

dont think there is a head specific one

keen dome
#

Eng/JC for life..

#

Eng is just too useful

vale pine
#

eng/enchanting for me

keen dome
#

JC makes me a lot of gold every expansion and it's useful for maknig 3 slots myself

#

If I was to ever swap I'd go BS/JC I think

swift tinsel
#

min/JC

#

then an army of alts for everything else lol

#

two alch alts, two herbs, 2 bs, one scribe, one ench

#

2 0.5 engineers

torn tide
shell willow
#

lol rocket boots

keen dome
#

Teleports, mailbox, jeeves

torn tide
#

cuz i think i might be using it wrongly but all i used it for back then was the jumper cables and the repair robot lol

keen dome
#

Being able to teleport to any expansion is extremely useful for doing collectionism

torn tide
#

oh wtf

#

i might needa research on thoe

#

also mailbox sounds nice

keen dome
#

Wormhole Generators

#

Mailbox doesn't share a cooldown with the other set of toys so I have two which is useful.

#

And then Jeeves is just always useful

#

You can also make mono stat helms / bracers which can be useful but tend to be quite niche. Guns are always useful but very slow money. The rest is pretty useless. It's all for the QoL more than anything else if you touch a ton of content.

#

LW or BS is just vastly more useful and profitable in comparison

vale pine
#

i have too many engineering stuff to ever unlearn

keen dome
#

Reeves is also really useful, being able to summon a repair hammer every 30 minutes.

#

Jeeves main use is accessing a bank anywhere, though, who is also a vendor.

keen dome
vale pine
#

wormhole, mailbox, jeeves, reeves, blingtron, etc...

exotic steeple
#

man im so excited to play rogue this tier

alpine wraith
#

im happy that we can stack mastery again

keen dome
#

Hell yeah buddy.

#

Rogue rogue rogue

alpine wraith
#

after the haste scare

exotic steeple
#

i love sub being so accessible now i couldnt handle it earlier

alpine wraith
#

it was not super hard before but complicated

#

so if you were stuck anywhere in the flow

#

you did get punished quite heavily

exotic steeple
#

i just couldnt get my head around it

alpine wraith
#

dont worry it was quite prevalent

exotic steeple
#

and if sub sucks i can still go back to assa

alpine wraith
#

and even if you know what to do diff fights had diff timings to be aware of

exotic steeple
#

the most important thing for me was being able to track cds and focus on the encounter

#

on sub i felt like i could only do one of those two

swift tinsel
#

are trinkets fully implemented in mimiron/simc for midnight?

#

before I go full-in on gear sims

alpine wraith
#

mandate might be surprisingly good too

#

you get a lil haste then some crit

#

and has mainstat

#

sadly 2 mins

#

but eh

swift tinsel
#

ye was gonna look at all the passives, 1.5 and 2mins

#

got the rest of it pretty well sorted out

alpine wraith
#

i actually havent looked well at fight timings

#

we might want some plethora of trinks in bag

swift tinsel
#

yeah I tend to just get them from luck lol

alpine wraith
#

the best hope is no combo of 2 2 min trinks works well

exotic steeple
#

is it ever worth to hold sd and sq for a trinket thats on like 10 sec cd?

alpine wraith
#

depends on what comes after

hazy breach
#

I mean you'd use your stat trinkets with blades

#

Any non-stat trinket you can use whenever

exotic steeple
#

and blades with sd and sq always

#

got it

fossil forge
#

yo lads

#

we play trickster or ds

alpine wraith
#

trickster mainly

#

but some people do like to suffer so you can try DS

plush roost
alpine wraith
#

jus to appreaciate trickster more

fossil forge
#

i will indeed not apply my mark on adds

alpine wraith
#

blizz is doing us a favour

fossil forge
alpine wraith
#

by making singular not work with sec tech and keeping DN and mass casualty krangled

#

so we dont play DS for prio

#

ever

fossil forge
#

i open wowlogs everryone on ds

#

sus

lilac stag
fossil forge
#

is this normal

alpine wraith
#

we dont have apex yety

fossil forge
#

aight

alpine wraith
#

and i though you meant on midnight rn DS and trickster are almost sameish

#

you can check fuu sims

#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
fossil forge
#

thanks brah

#

🫡

keen dome
fossil forge
#

holy i do no damage

astral axle
#

I was dinking around with mimiron and generally found sims to be pretty haste thirsty. like 800 or so. i guess this is the extra globals plus sht from melee swings?

alpine wraith
#

yea it is likely we gear around 700 haste or so

#

new sht things etc give us a lot of extra cp

astral axle
#

good lord lmao

#

a lot is an understatement

#

that kinda owns just to see it on a graph

alpine wraith
#

yea after apex fix with sec tech etc it is big

warm marlin
#

shindig is good too, one of the very few i wouldn't mind having up there

alpine wraith
#

yea likely honest mistake

warm marlin
#

there aren't many who are both goats and truly enjoy all 3 rogue specs

maiden oar
#

get charrend on there i want max to know about puzzle box

astral axle
#

we stan charrend

maiden oar
#

i want max to know about striking at full cp

astral axle
#

ryldd do you ever stream?

warm marlin
#

no

#

i briefly looked into it in this season but i was having packet loss issues at new apartment and it wasnt helping

#

maybe midnight s1

maiden oar
#

i want max to know about exact haste tiering

warm marlin
#

I really love warcraftrecorder and need to find out how to keep my vods for that and stream at same time as well

maiden oar
#

i get both

warm marlin
#

hmmge i must have screwed up setup somehow because i was getting a black screen on one of them always

#

it wouldn't output to both at same time

maiden oar
#

odd

warm marlin
#

something about game hooks supposedly idk

#

need to fix

maiden oar
#

i hear some people say it doesnt work but i am pretty sure i can do it still

astral axle
#

WCR has this weird thing for me where like... all the sound from my game gets recorded all krangled

maiden oar
#

oh i just get rid of the sound from wcr

astral axle
#

I've made sure my outputs are the same as obs and stuff, which works fine for streaming/recording

maiden oar
#

not important i think

astral axle
#

but still it is like giga fried

warm marlin
#

idk it's always worked perfect for me. only gets game sound too which is nice

hazy breach
#

Theres 2 options, just swap to the other one

warm marlin
plush roost
warm marlin
#

also ngl streaming makes me feel a bit self conscious

#

idk gonna int cuz now somebodys watching u know

maiden oar
plush roost
#

Bro my favorite part is inting and having people see it

#

so i cant bullshit myself

#

lowkey

maiden oar
#

yeah i think its good to learn to play under that kind of pressure

#

sometimes

astral axle
#

didn't even realize it

warm marlin
#

i dont mind the pressure it's just different feeling like somebody's actively watching your screen

#

i stream other games to the homies all the time so its not really different but

maiden oar
#

ah i see

warm marlin
#

i'll try to stream prog this tier if internet does not explode again

maiden oar
graceful rock
#

I usually just stream and slam a shadowplay when needed

warm marlin
#

warcraftrecorder is an absolutely brazy tool for prog

#

very op

maiden oar
#

its really good

#

i wanna get vods at least bc i think im morally obligated to make 1 single youtube video about how to get into wow as a ffxiv refugee

#

but i dont want to make a video after that

#

im good!

keen dome
#

That's a cool video idea

graceful rock
#

I was gonna make a video of trying to learn a class naturally and see what happens but I loaded in level 10 and alt-f4’d the idea

maiden oar
#

and for me there was a ton to unlearn

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

yea doing the full guides for sub is funny

#

last one was almost 40 mins

#

i expect the midnight one to be half of that

warm marlin
#

I was midway through "intermediate" at 50 minutes, I had an organization style I liked and was inspired by the 2 hour whispyr video

#

turns out theres a lot to talk about when u start from 0

#

not anymore ofc

vale pine
#

it depends

#

then more details or yapping you add, then longer an explenation

#

but its easier to write a lot or talk a lot, than the opposite

graceful rock
#

I wanna make guides but I’d really wanna make more raid fight/dungeon guides AS a rogue. But not really sure if it’s valuable making when I’m clearing like world 200

#

I was ready to merc for a guild as arcane and forgy made a video going over a kill as arcane and thought it was cool

hollow spear
maiden oar
soft summit
keen dome
#

I'd stream my pugs but lol

alpine wraith
#

people dont really watch raid or dungeon guides that much

#

i did many and they were the most unpopular

#

for sub in particular maybe the general ones

scarlet heath
#

I watch Liquid mythic guide about one day per season

#

that's about it

keen dome
#

I prefer reading my guides

swift tinsel
#

I tend to go through the dungeon journal then watch a video to see the visual component

#

and will watch tactyks videos for m+

scarlet heath
#

I am that kind of player who learns by doing

#

so I will watch it a few times to understand what to expect but then progging gives me infinitely more

uneven scarab
#

i like learning from doing the world tours with my m+ group

#

we all learn by doing as well

swift tinsel
#

I like going in having an idea of my job or how I can contribute/cheese

maiden oar
#

i like youtube video

swift tinsel
#

I'm a pre-planner lol

#

big spreadsheet energy

maiden oar
#

that goes over stuff that is more abstract than like just telling me whats on wowhead or what sims goof

#

or whats in the dungeon journal

swift tinsel
#

yeah if there's creative nuggets of info I'm a fan

bleak night
#

I watch other people do stuff thats irrelevant by the time I get to the boss bc im 30 ilvls higher and its been nerfed 4 times

swift tinsel
#

yeah there's that part too lol

uneven scarab
maiden oar
#

i think the only good usage of youtube as a medium for wow is to explain stuff that you generally figure out by actually playing the game and interacting with it

uneven scarab
#

Thats kinda the reason i freeball it ya

maiden oar
#

otherwise i can just check wowhead

#

or some other thing

maiden oar
swift tinsel
#

ye I like knowing about big casts before they kill me lol

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

in keys at least

warm marlin
#

tailored to sub

swift tinsel
#

ngl

#

bc of how important it is

maiden oar
#

yeah my hypothetical xiv refugee video would spend alot of time on movement and how wows approach to the gcd / cooldowns and resources in general is different

#

and not like this is what a m+ dungeon is

warm marlin
#

I spreadsheet a lot more than most people im pretty sure. i have an mrt note fully prepped for all phases of a boss before our first pull with offensive/defensive cd timings that i edit after every raid night using warcraftrecorder vods to make it more accurate

#

very op on stuff like dimmy p1 where very very specific feint timings let it come up perfectly to cover every single mechanic

maiden oar
warm marlin
#

5s prefeint before the tank hit and whatnot

swift tinsel
#

I try to do something similar with Timeline Reminders

maiden oar
#

i just type it to myself and throw it on the bottom of my screen

warm marlin
#

yeah timeline reminders can do similar I just preferred mrt/kaze

swift tinsel
#

and really fine-tune since our times tend to be a little different from lorrgs sometimes

maiden oar
#

and reference w fight timer

#

idk why but i dont like the kaze/lr style countdown

#

i should get used to it

swift tinsel
#

reminds me I need to look into either a timer addon or a /timer macro

maiden oar
#

but in xiv id /echo timestamps to my chat to remember stuff

swift tinsel
#

for vod watching

maiden oar
#

so im just used to that

warm marlin
#

if you have mrt it has a combat timer thing

#

idk if it still works with midnight

swift tinsel
#

very nice

alpine wraith
#

i did that too not many cared but it is cool to have

swift tinsel
#

I find it helps me a lot if I have a timer going on the screen when I go back to rewatch so I'm not trying to look at timestamps

alpine wraith
#

maybe we can redo it again

astral axle
maiden oar
#

they send some sort of thing that isnt secret on phase change iirc

#

remember hearing some addon dev discussing this

astral axle
#

oh nice

warm marlin
#

yeah i assume a raw combat timer will work but like grouch said apparently you can read when phase changes happen and adapt timers

#

im under the impression mrt/kaze will still work in some capacity

maiden oar
#

u can still buy liquid reminders

keen dome
#

Is that when someone throws a bucket of water at you when a mechanic is about to happen

maiden oar
#

its like chinese water torture

#

just a drop every now and then

inland glacier
#

what are the best stats for playing as a trickster?

opal basalt
plush roost
tidal blade
#

is ele bad, not sure if I can read

bleak night

Looks like puzzlebox is back on the menu lads

cosmic pebble
#

thinking of playing rogue as a alt in midnight since iv never played the class. Does it bring anything else beside 3% DR for a M+ group?

plush roost
#

i may just be rage baiting ngl, the ST loss is noticable with pbox

#

ur may be safe FOR NOW

What if you just.. never have it drop. Never.. have it.. drop.

#

One trick to avoid it.

#

Ahhh we have different stat prios for raid and M+, that’s lame

hazy breach
#

Not really

alpine wraith
#

mastery and crit are very strong

#

haste is good up to a point

#

likely you just change like 1 ring or something like that

runic sinew
#

on the beta, I'm trying to get so much mas/vers with 15% haste, but with craft items is so hard to get this

alpine wraith
#

you want crit not vers

hazy breach
#

Either is fine

runic sinew
#

for aoe?

alpine wraith
#

yea both work

runic sinew
#

hmm

alpine wraith
#

actually weird mind i had there

runic sinew
#

so crit/mas with cap haste works fine?

alpine wraith
#

yea

#

haste is not like capped just becomes a bit worse

runic sinew
#

ok, I'll try it

#

in this case I'm unable to get so much versa

shrewd lantern
#

stats just give damage

runic sinew
#

but is hard to get high stats if u focus 3+ stats

shrewd lantern
#

You really dont need to focus them

#

stats are just stats

runic sinew
#

hmm

shrewd lantern
#

”perfect” stats is minor at best

trim barn
#

Pretty new to spec, Does coupe only build from Backstab / Shadowstrike ? Trying with shuriken storm in AOE but not building at all

hazy breach
#

It builds with shuriken storm if you have the talent that makes shuriken storm proc it

trim barn
#

That'll be why... TY

muted girder
hazy breach
#

I mean its prepatch

plush roost
#

Eleem low haste sub i think is really good now

swift tinsel
#

hell yeah 8-10% more stacks means more not-haste

hazy breach
#

Mr simcraft still doesnt know about the fixes, but i believe it

shrewd lantern
#

equip agi

#

get haste to a comfy level

#

realize it doesnt matter much beyond that

swift tinsel
#

you'll still want it for the dance buffer I imagine

hazy breach
#

Like 200 or something ye

shrewd lantern
#

People just like to use stats as a scapegoat

#

for bad play

#

i swear

swift tinsel
#

well yeah that's why the memes exist

plush roost
#

I played 200ish ye

shrewd lantern
#

”if i had this much more of x stat my dps would be so much higher”

hazy breach
#

My gut feeling is still 700 for ST but more like 200 for aoe

shrewd lantern
#

Literally jewelry is the easiest way

#

to shift a bit

hazy breach
#

I mean thats true whenever you dont have breakpoints

plush roost
#

I think low haste just

#

Rewuires windfury tho

hazy breach
#

Like it doesnt matter that much if you get mastery/crit/vers, but haste that doesnt grant an extra gcd is kinda whatever now with all the extra shts

shrewd lantern
#

Its not as bad as outlaw

#

where your spec ceased to function

#

below haste levels

hazy breach
#

Stupid windfury

swift tinsel
#

one day they'll blacklist ShT from it like crusading strikes

#

(or give us windfury class talent/raid buff)

hazy breach
#

I would be surprised if we end up running puzzlebox in general, but who knows, tuning of trinkets hasnt really happened yet

alpine wraith
#

lets trust they buff the crit one

#

and we vibe

hazy breach
#

Or we just go passives

#

With improved FW the physical procs are better than ever before

alpine wraith
#

double passive might be good because normal dances are kinda decent

hazy breach
#

Like 17% better for us than other classes, instead of the 10% it used to be

alpine wraith
#

yea there were some funny times with phys trinks

swift tinsel
#

I’m still a goon squad believer

As long as they don’t get lust scuffed

plush roost
#

Puzzlebox ST is kinda stinky ngl

#

Only 80k no lust no pot with skyfury mark touch

#

I do way more with 2 passive

swift tinsel
#

Imma channel the energy I was putting out about coup gcd and redirecting it to addressing Skyfury reliance

#

Realz please don’t upside down smiley react that one

#

Foreboding

hazy breach
#

Puzzlebox seems kinda mid if you have like 1k+ mastery already though

#

Shit DRs too hard

swift tinsel
#

Good keep the box in the dirt

#

Don’t tell my boss I said that tho

astral axle
#

oh pog they patched out the omnicd exploit

bleak night
hazy breach
#

Im sure there will be more

#

Especially during rwf

astral axle
#

very ready for a patch of cat and mouse

astral axle
# bleak night <a:huh:1072539415261499412>

there was a weird exploit that let people basically take a secret value and make it non secret, so basically loads of addons which would've otherwise been broken since the addon changes would work again

bleak night
astral axle
#

So the past like... week or so? some streamers have been using omnicd and stuff on beta

#

very funny

#

It is very interesting. Morbidly excited to see what RWF will have in store. And what will be called exploit vs inference etc

steel zinc
#

Little update on addons here the "important" filter for buffs and debuffs JUST hit live servers

#

this means if you have an addon that uses it you will for example as sub rogue see only shadowblades and dance

#

I highly recommend unitframe addons that have these filters so either UUF or msuf. I think elvui has it too

#

You can track now like you used to with weak auras important player buffs and filter all garbo out

bleak night
lofty lance
steel zinc
#

It's a global filter essentially

#

But blades and dance are the two important buffs that only show if you have this filter on

lofty lance
#

oh ok so we still can't hide shit buffs like enlisted or random rep buffs

Fwiw they have fixed bugs

Its just not in the notes

thx for checking btw^^

warm marlin
#

this is like 6 blueposts now of class bug fixes and every time they actually fix rogue stuff

#

they just dont write it

hazy breach
#

Ye its a bit strange

#

But shrugeg

candid mural
#

they don't know if the fix actually works 😛

warm marlin

I dont really mind because they are fixing things pretty good this dev cycle imo

but i just dont get why they arent writing it

Honestly sub is what’s keeping me looking forward to midnight

I know I’ll enjoy playing the spec, question is whether I’ll enjoy the content while playing the spec

torn tide
#

do yall think the apexes are gonna get nerfed hard? i saw a vid on it yesterday and it looks absolurely busted lmao

swift tinsel
#

Idk about hard but I could see lowering the amount of sht we get

#

Esp after the apex-shadowcraft fix

chrome palm
#

REMOVE SKYFURY thanks

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

torn tide
swift tinsel
#

I think that’s the more egregious part

torn tide
swift tinsel
#

I’ve mentioned before but I’d rather see them give us windfury/old sword specialization as a class talent over WaT or something and blacklist ShT from Skyfury, or just blacklist ShT from Skyfury and maybe remove 1 AA from the deck

#

There’s ways to address it that don’t crater

subtle hazel
#

What is the APM of Sub in beta

lilac stag
#

60ish

hazy breach
chrome palm
#

probably somewhat less since you have less ogcds

#

and more macros in general

lilac stag
#

the pacing feels better, even though the apm is roughly the same.

hazy breach
#

Well the APM is the same, but less of it is ogcd ye

#

So you have slightly less downtime

swift tinsel
#

Has a very strong interaction with sht

hazy breach
#

Its basically just 20% more attack speed, with a little bit of flare

torn tide
#

oh thats great for sht gain

fleet wharf
#

that's the issue

#

great when you have it, awful when you don't

swift tinsel
#

Yeah it’s problematically impactful lol

#

In raid it’s whatever bc you’ll pretty much always have a shaman but m+ is a bit more iffy

torn tide
#

would be funny for them to give us a shaman buff as a skill lmao but it would be nice

#

if only my main holy priest teamate would see that there are much better options

#

holy priest was a god 20years ago but not nearly as good now

tropic pier
hazy breach
#

Yeah that's not a bug though

#

It's like that on purpose

tropic pier
#

Idk about the design where i dont have a hero talent for 2 mins if a boss goes immune and does an intermission and there is no way to recover it, and i cant even vanish to get it back like the last expansion

#

Seems like an oversight and not intentional, its quite toxic

lilac stag
#

It’s friction. Plan your timing better.

tropic pier
#

Blizzard really dont like this type of binary pass fail causing you to lose so much damage typically

#

i know you can plan around it but its bad design that you need to always keep this in the back of your head

lilac stag
#

what else are you keeping in your head with the checks notes lack of thinking needed for assa and sub

tropic pier
#

Payphone

hazy breach
slate flume
#

I have noticed this in prepatch that sometimes I just lose deathmarker in aoe situations when the mob bugs out when ssing from stealth (flying bats in Ara Kara last room, happened twice), or it just randomly disappears in aoe and cant add a new one no matter what I do (vanishing of shadow dance). Any ideas on what to do in these situations?

hazy breach
#

Relogg

#

Unironically

#

Which is why you should be playing trickster Surebud

slate flume
#

Oh wow. Welp, I will just tell the group wait for me to relog then kekdog

fleet wharf
#

doesnt mark reset once the bugged mob dies

hazy breach
#

Sometimes

#

Not always

lilac stag
#

Or just stop playing deathstalker

#

wtf are people playing deathstalker

fleet wharf
#

oof and there's no way to reapply mark in midnight?

#

that sounds fucking cursed

hazy breach
#

Sometimes it works after 60s when the mark has timed out

#

Sometimes it doesnt

hazy breach
#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
fleet wharf
#

you should make a new !bigbug command

hazy breach
fleet wharf
#

how the fuck is that good design? I'm so confused

lilac stag
#

Nah !bug should just send the prompter a DM telling them they’re a dolt for trying to play deathstalker

fleet wharf
#

I haven't dealt with DS much, but man, that is awful

hazy breach
#

Again,this is not a bug

#

They deliberately changed it to work like this

lilac stag
#

The entire design they’re trying to get is managing the mark

fleet wharf
#

but isnt mark a significant portion of DS damage?

hazy breach
#

Almost all of it

lilac stag
#

unfortunately no one actually wants to manage it

#

they doubled down

fleet wharf
#

so isn't the solution to auto apply mark to whatever you last attacked or something like that

#

not make it impossible to move it

lilac stag
#

so accept it for what it is, or just play trickster

hazy breach
fleet wharf
#

so it sounds like assa m+ will continue being cursed in midnight eh, but I guess I should just ask them

hazy breach
#

It works the same for assa

#

Fatebound is good in keys now though

tropic pier
#

Sad they nerfed spatter so much

lilac stag
#

Insert P word in 5… 4… 3…

uneven scarab
#

just buff envenom a little more and assa is fine tbh

lilac stag

who needs a dot spec when you can be an envenom simulator?

Bring back sepsis assa

those were good times

did my first beta key in a while, 10 windrunner

#

is this good dps

#

i forgot how much better sub feels with apex

torn tide
#

getting 30k dps above frost mage is absolutely insane

shrewd lantern
#

I mean this is beta so everyone is the same

torn tide
#

oh yea

sour horizon
tribal blade
#

tank was doing a lot of kiting mobs around so that affects ranged way more than melee

torn tide
#

and still got that high above mage?? i didnt know they nerfed mage that hard

#

a frost too nonetheless

tribal blade
#

particularly he was bringing mobs from 1 area to another through passageways n shit

tribal blade
torn tide
#

fair fair

sour horizon
#

gonna be a lot of new tanks I think

tribal blade
sour horizon
#

with that new affix at 2-5

tribal blade

oh what's the new affix again i forgot

sour horizon
#

soemthing about highlighting the route and mobs to kill

tribal blade
#

oh yeahhhh

sour horizon
#

new tanks are w.e no biggie tbh but new healers can be rough

#

I dunno how theyre gonna try fix that

tribal blade
tribal blade
tribal blade

i came close to dying so many times

sour horizon
#

pally has been all over the place in beta and they still keeping messing with it, so can forgive a little, theres also peeps trying diff specs then their main too

#

plus new dungeons aswell to learn

#

I tend to give healers a break haha it can be super shit

torn tide
sour horizon
#

its not, its up there just under resto druid

tribal blade
torn tide
#

that happens

tribal blade
#

for a 10 if you're coming close to dying all the time either you're standing in everything and not pressing any defensives or the healer is bad

tribal blade
#

not gonna flame someone for beta performance haha

tribal blade
narrow shadow
# tribal blade is this good dps

I think it's okay, the top specs do like 150k overall. I believe the issue is that sub falls off a cliff once you go higher in key level

tribal blade
#

i made mucho mucho mistakes in that key so not worried

#

good to be in a position going into the new expac not being OP

narrow shadow
#

Ok nevermind it was 250k for top specs not 150k

tribal blade
#

i assume

sour horizon
#

middle of pack best place

tribal blade
#

it actually is kinda

#

less chance of getting shot

sour horizon
#

yup, with a small chance of last season buff

narrow shadow
tribal blade
#

any time sub is super OP on beta it ends up not being in our favor

narrow shadow

As long as sub is at least decent/mid I will play it

Doesn't need to be OP

If sub gets some st buffs I'll be happy about the spec

short radish

idk

#

tbh buffs are kinda whatever

#

numbers go up

#

numbers go down

onyx flame

I still believe we will get st buffs before the raid wich will make sub perfectly fine

narrow shadow
#

I'm mostly concerned about subs prio and ST damage. I'm not too bothered by the overall pad numbers.

short radish
#

you're still always compared against your own spec

#

i just want some utility

#

as long as we're not dead last again

#

ecks dee

narrow shadow
#

When I tried Sub in beta it's ST/Prio was kind of dog

upbeat garden
#

If u use what u have its still fine ,doing 8 sec stun and cheap shot ,interrupts it helps imho ,if u ignore those its bad

short radish
#

it's really not fine

#

its also not an 8 sec stun

#

because by the time you do stun it's DR'd to hell and back again

upbeat garden
#

I usually stun first 2 mobs

tribal blade
#

yeah unless you send kidney in the first few globals

#

it'll get DR'd

short radish
upbeat garden
#

Then idk ,rogue wont be meta anywway

short radish
#

because now 2 out of the mobs are out of sync on when they cast

sour horizon
#

only time rogue will hit meta ever again will be OP tank spec lol

short radish
#

or when our damage is giga busted

#

or when the damage profile makes sense

#

we were almost meta last season

sour horizon
#

we'll get nerfed so fast if our dmg is OP

short radish
#

if it wasnt for those meddling DKs

short radish
tribal blade
#

really close to meta yeah

onyx flame
#

Imagine rogues beeing meta and everyone plays rogue peepochrist

short radish
#

tbh we kinda were on the last bosses in amir

#

and people still didnt want to play rogue kek

upbeat garden
#

Even if its meta ,we wont get past 3% popularity

sour horizon
#

teir set so good its now apex talent LOL

tribal blade
#

if sub becomes meta this channel will become full of people asking the same question over and over

upbeat garden
#

just make a bot that answers the same question

tribal blade
#

remember after the DF rework

sour horizon
#

fotm rerollers push me away from specs tbh

onyx flame
short radish
#

i think fotm rerolling is going to be even worse this tier/expac

#

because of how much easier it is to pick up a spec

sour horizon
#

true

short radish
upbeat garden
#

For me it was easy to pick up every class in tww ,I have all classes at 3500+ rate

#

Ofc I play a lot too

short radish
#

yeah but you're probably better than the average gamer

#

in fact that's probably like 0.5% gamer

#

compare that to joe bloggs, father of 5 with only 2 hours to play a week

I just play 60 hrs + of wow per week ,everyone can get good when u have time

tribal blade
short radish
sour horizon
#

yeah 3500+ is crazy, Ill play 2-3 alts and usually just clear 10s for vault

shrewd lantern
#

I think only pvpers can sometimes pick it up

#

at higher levels

onyx flame
#

There will be/is a swarm of new pvp rogues

#

Probably because rogue/mage/x has been good the entirety of the game's existence

with multiple seasons of being downright oppressive

dry plank

#

on last boss of terrace he did 76 ,the others 90k+

shrewd lantern
#

meh something has to give

dry plank
#

Last season we had good overall but no profile just padding

sour horizon
shrewd lantern
#

"padding"

#

its not pad unless you were running in an arcane havoc comp and spamming bp

upbeat garden
#

In s3 I actually could win on st ,except if it was a frost dk in party

shrewd lantern
#

If you had cds come up at a decent time yeah

#

the pad argument is incredibly stupid unless you were actively taking damage from funnel specs

dry plank
#

Deleting small adds fast in m+ is never valuable damage

upbeat garden
#

yy starting 12mil bursts felt soo good,some tanks couldnt hold aggro

shrewd lantern
#

from hitting bp

#

again its comp dependent

#

like i'll never spam bp with an AR havoc

#

i mean if they lose aggro through tricks

#

thats a massive skill issue

upbeat garden
#

usually brews lose aggro

#

Pala never

shrewd lantern
#

Idk maybe if you hit mobs early

#

brew was one of the harder tanks to play well though

sour horizon
#

the only aggro problems I had all season were when tanks died and the mobs started running to where they res

shrewd lantern
sour horizon
#

good old tricks

shrewd lantern
#

most times i watched tanks flop

#

are when they want to "try" a pull

#

famous last words

sour horizon
#

was great to watch everyone be like WTF IS HAPPENING?!!

shrewd lantern
#

wow players are truly a "special" group of individuals

#

its like watching a person put their hand in an open flame and ask why its burrning

shrewd lantern
sour horizon
#

xD

shrewd lantern
#

like only times ever felt at risk of dying while tanking are from playing like a dog

sour horizon
#

yeah its usually from pulling too much stuff

shrewd lantern
#

or just not hitting enough buttons

#

which causes everything from aggro issues to poor active mit

just 10s pug things

if a ret paladin presses wings on my gather i just let him die
