Orbit extends the idea to player frames

#

which is insane

#

A lot of addon devs are good at making it work well, but suck at making it easy to setup

tribal blade
#

this is what every addon needs to be like

#

it's SO MUCH EASIER

covert yew
#

I have a question, i feel like playing sub and not using the Shadow dance / shadow blades? then I dont do anydamage? and when I use any of the mentioned cds i do ton of dmg, is the spec really based around those two cds?

tribal blade
#

it's the reason why there's an entire industry around user experience

tribal blade
#

my ex got into UX design

hazy breach
#

Outside of shadow dance you dont do damage

tribal blade
#

they were making a lot of money back in the day

fallow nimbus
#

I wish platynator had sliders to pixelperfect align stuff after you drag&drop

covert yew
#

ok thank you

fallow nimbus
#

Like advanced settings

#

The widgets kind of snap in some places

tribal blade
#

first time using platynator design mode for me was

hollow spear
#

My mantra for next season is to prepare more for the actual fights rather than endlessly tc and setup my ui

tribal blade
#

oh that gif says year

#

not world

#

reeee

fallow nimbus

I took a default one I liked and modded it

tribal blade
jolly sleet
# covert yew ok thank you

if youre looking for a spec that build then spends with a lighter emphasis on cds there's the survival hunter !
You build stacks of a buff with kill order, then use them to buff your other attacks, the cds arent "buff buttons" but actual attacks (with a freaking shotgun)

tribal blade
#

imagine trying to set up a typical nameplate addon and being like "wtf is a widget"

#

and just messing with every slider to see what changes what

#

it's so confusing

#

(as a non tech person)

jolly sleet
#

sadly all other energy based combo point based classes are built around their cd usage you won't find anything on this spectrum that fits a "no cd" build

fallow nimbus
#

The worst is having a slider, messing with it and then you forgot what it was set to kekw

tribal blade
#

you know how long i had to mess with the sliders for the nameplate stacking stuff to know how to make them rest exactly as i wanted

fallow nimbus
#

I have a folder with screenshots of my most crucial addons

tribal blade
#

most addon devs on wow build them with the assumption that you understand all the jargon

#

and it makes it a horrible experience for people like me

#

who know nothing

fallow nimbus
#

Backup on a usb stick since i at one point in time lost my entire ui and had to copy it from an old harddrive

jolly sleet
fallow nimbus
#

The export option most of the new addons have is really nice

#

Export and save in txt file

tribal blade
#

yeah i like that too

#

this does feel like a new age of addons in wow for me

#

for the better

#

i've never had such an easy time setting up addons with good functionality before

fallow nimbus
#

I have a one ui fits all classes but primarily rogue

#

Thanks to sensei, bcm and bartender

#

Yesterday i discovered that details has a statusbar with ping, fps and such kekw

#

Now i can see my gold without opening the bag

fallow nimbus
#

It's under the main window or invisible with infos in title bar

tribal blade
#

might set that up, that's stuff i look at all the time and it's annoying to mouse over the thing

fallow nimbus
#

Yeah, i have my ping and fps in the title bar now

I had less addons before Patch then now … 15 addons for weakaura addon

Just came back from tww

#

What did sub rogue even lose

#

Everyone said how easy this spec is now

#

It didn’t even get pruned

vale pine
#

well

#

you lost roughly 5+ key binds, and a lot of dynamic in gameplay

#

depending on who you ask, that might be "nothing"

quaint brook
#

What abilities

#

I stg it feels identical

red flame
#

Flagellation & rupture …?

vale pine
#

flagellation, rupture, cold blood, symbols of death

quaint brook
#

I think it’s because I PvP

red flame
quaint brook
#

Rupture never really pressed

#

Symbols I think I had macro’s

#

Flag I never chose

#

Maybe this is a me issue

#

They should of gotten rid of ST

vale pine
#

many talents also changed

#

oh ye

#

you also lost tornado

#

not a big loss there tho

#

talents which previousely affected gameplay, many times are now just passive damage increases now

#

cooldown management became very diffrent too

#

every cooldown is static

#

so you don't rly have dynamic decision making like before

quaint brook
#

I think I just played like a gorilla before

#

So to me it seems the same lol

#

But thank you

#

I appreciate the run down

dry plank

vale pine
#

you still use shadow dance

#

you still use secret as your first finisher in dance

quaint brook

you press buttons

tough canyon
#

now that is ACTUALLY wild, why would they use excel 2019?

#

is it the last purchasable version or somethin?

lilac stag
vale pine
#

office is, besides common beleave, a software that hasn't changed much in the last decade

#

you can probably do 99% of what people do with an 2007 version

tough canyon
#

i guess i have never worked in a place that was saving on excel and i do accounting, hell people use googlesheets if they dont wanna pay, but old excel? thats a first for sure.

#

i know photoshop was always like that, people use a version for like 10 years and then maybe upgrade.

Can’t play the spec or melee - can play the spec but not melee - natural with the spec and know how to play melee

torn tide
#

is there anything for us to track for when the apex comes out?

#

more specifically the refunding system in that last apex tier, so that ill know if its gonna refund or not

hazy breach
#

Theres a big shadowy glow around the middle of your screen

#

When you have the refnd

torn tide
#

oh great

#

cuz i was scared that id get too involved in muscle memory and accidentally shadowstrike/backstab even if it refunded and waste energy lol

warm marlin
#

Does he know

lilac stag
torn tide
#

know what...

warm marlin
#

you want to intentionally shadowstrike after a refund if it'll proc apex again

#

(at full cp)

torn tide
#

wait does refunding not give u all the cp back

#

i think i might be understanding this wrongly

warm marlin
#

it gives you all your cp back yes

#

well between 5 and 7 but essentially always 7

torn tide
#

so if i get back 7 then wouldnt that just mean do another finisher after refund?

#

shadowstrike is for building right

hazy breach
#

Yes you could finish, or you could strike once and have your next finisher be buffed by the apex

torn tide
#

so the rotation would be the same except for when i refund, i want to strike then finisher

#

oh i see

#

Your next finisher generates maximum combo points, after using a combo point builder while having 5 or more stacks of Shadow Techniques.

#

so its kinda just to make the next one max too then keep doing that?

frigid prawn
#

fw is now a buff and not a debuff anymore? 😮

lilac stag
#

Welcome to 2 months ago

frigid prawn
#

Yeah I just came back after 4 month, its crazy 😂

lilac stag
#

should have stayed away. Hahaha

keen dome
#

@lilac stag I'm gonna pug (a) CE this coming tier. dracthyr_kek

keen dome
#

The middle raid is a single lairboss.

#

It won't have a lockout (in the sense that it's a single boss, so nothing before it)

#

Because it's just one boss.

lilac stag
#

I can’t wait for it to be tuned so only top 10 can kill it

keen dome
#

And it will have a CE.

#

Hahaha, yeah

#

I'm gonna do it

lilac stag
#

and it will take all tier for 5-10 to kill it

keen dome
#

I'm gonna be one of the 5 - 10

#

6,000 pulls.

fallow glade
#

i'm lobbying the blizz devs right now to make it a lockout when you kill a trashmob PES2_Pray

keen dome
#

Noooooooo

#

Let me have this one!

lilac stag
#

if trash drops boes that’s gonna be interesting

keen dome
#

Is there even trash in the lairboss raid

fallow glade
#

no clue KEKW

#

Does anyone have a profile for BCDM that works for rogue?

i use fuu's one and it looks pretty nice

works great too

#

Besides the big black bars on your screen? Or are you talking sht stacks?

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

The purple bar

#

or you track the icon stacks in CDM

#

figure out what works for you kinda thing

vale pine
#

is there combo point support in arc now?

#

or still missing?

swift tinsel
#

not yet

#

still has the Coming Soon! for secondary resources, only energy so far

vale pine

#

whats the current state of sub rogue? playing it on beta and it looks fun , lacks a bit st but im having fun

native hawk
#

anyone else using 7 point sht bar on arc and the dividers arent lining up with senseis class resource bar? only dividers 1 and 4 arent aligned :|

tulip light
buoyant iron
#

is it the best spec of rogue so far?

swift tinsel
#

tuning will be ongoing for a while

#

best to focus on which one you enjoy playing more

lilac stag
native hawk
keen dome
alpine wraith
#

yea rogue in general and specially sub rogue will be top 30 spec

grand wyvern
#

bold of you to assume we will be above tanks

buoyant iron
torn tide
grand galleon
#

is there a reason sub pop CDs before having full CP on opener? I understand that in ST you basically need to so you get to max CP faster but in AoE wouldnt it be better to do SS and then go to CDs + sectech so you get one more global in CDs?

grand wyvern
hollow spear
#

I'll never not be surprised how many people don't have any antennas for sarcasm/lack reading comprehension.

#

Dont even need the vanish+strike

#

You can just send immediately

plush roost
#

Ig itll matter more at like 1600 haste

hazy breach
#

Didnt seem to matter either way in sims

plush roost
#

I managed 1500 on beta for shits n giggles and the cadence actually worked out where you would sec tec first gcd of sblades and have ur next dance occur on sec tec cd so u can have 2 superchargerd wowie

grand galleon
#

Am I not looking at correct opener? Why is Evis here before CDs?

tulip light
#

evis gives slice

plush roost
#

For slice n dice

grand galleon
#

so wouldnt SD+SB make sense after SS that is followig evis?

hazy breach
#

Again, you can do it if you want

#

But its +-0

plush roost
#

I think s3 sub if it remains this way will be pretty fun btw

#

55% dance uptime at 1500 haste 8)

grand wyvern
#

are we becoming outlaw?

chrome palm
#

yeah outlaw is really good at

#

rolling bones

#

grappling hook

keen dome
#

gun

lilac stag
lucid jackal
#

I think both sub and outlaw seem solid

#

It depends if it's a timer tier or a raid boss with cleave tier

#

Maybe outlaw is just turbo umpalayble post Nerf but like. It was solid for a bit

#

And if it's a raid cleave tier it might be time

keen dome
#

I would love to see an outlaw tier

#

I think it'd be really cool and also funny.

chrome palm
#

I just don’t see the universe where outlaw with less consistent with less burst and less survivability without the option to play assa will ever be played in raid

#

Unless sub and assa just cannot do aoe

warm marlin
#

The only possible time outlaw can be better is if you need consistent constant cleave for minutes straight and there is 0 downtime in the fight and 0 burst phases

#

or its mega overtuned

vale pine
keen dome
#

Hah

warm marlin
#

see: diurna, soul hunters

#

and then you kneecap every other spec for the entire tier to do so

chrome palm
#

Would it even be better on soul hunters if it was a boss in midnight

warm marlin
#

probably not too much downtime

chrome palm
#

Without precise cuts and with 50 energy bf

warm marlin
#

sub has cds for every time they briefly group

chrome palm
#

Also soul hunters was a 5 heal right

#

Somewhat easier time living that as sub in midnight

warm marlin
#

yeah 5 heal + you didnt even want melee

#

like doubt you play outlaw on paladins

chrome palm
#

I forgot we literally do have soul hunters in midnight lol

grand wyvern
warm marlin
#

yes

#

also before when it was far and away the hardest rogue spec to master so you would have to practice beforehand to even benefit from it being slightly better in those scenarios

candid osprey
warm marlin
#

when u could just play dagger specs and do good still. idk its never outlaw

#

pure cope to think otherwise unlucky

graceful rock
#

no ones crafting a sword early in a tier

Is sub looking good for raids? Or another assa meta

lilac stag

#

Is it possible to have a mouseover-step-kidney macro?

hazy breach
#

Unc is just reminiscing

sullen glen
#

Cant seem to get one without having to double tap the bind

vale pine
#

thats normal

sullen glen
#

Ah gotcha

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

denathrius was weird because i only played it as sub to kill the add alone with like 1 other person

#

but i think it was an assa fight mainly for most

#

ergo after the quad set of buffs

#

remember the cool SBS buggef interaction but i didnt have necrolord levelled so i didnt try

#

but seli i think used it

lilac stag
#

SLG would have been a better argument

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

dont worry we old people remember

keen dome
#

Back in my day

#

We had legendary daggers

narrow shadow
hazy breach
#

It will probably be stacked anyway once people figure out the good strats

#

People always say melee is shit on raid testing, and then people work out strats that dont include tons of downtime for no reason and suddenly melees are fine

lilac stag
keen dome
#

old men, playing rogue

alpine wraith
#

we didnt have thunderfury thp

#

unless you omegastole it

narrow shadow
#

Tank weapon

lilac stag
#

nah. No one knew what it was for back then

#

Eventually folks figured out tank weapon

swift tinsel
#

Took me until a week ago to get it pepe_chad

keen dome
#

It was for me. But I wasn't playing at the time.

alpine wraith
#

people around me catched on quite quickly so i didnt get to have it on vanilla

#

did get it in tbc eventually tho

#

there had to be at least 1 person with it because the debuff was kinda good after they deleted debuff cap

vale pine
#

so this will always be true just by design

#

the additional melee range was a good solution to it, and mitigated some of the symptoms of it

lucid jackal
#

"melee is dead"

#

Tier comes out

#

8 melee

warm marlin
#

i dont think they said that for tww right

vale pine
#

tuning many times also plays a role

warm marlin
#

tww3 i mean

#

i dont remember it

vale pine
#

i also think this is more true for mythic+

#

i don't know if you ended up part of the discussion guy

#

did you run mythic+ on beta?

#

if so, how do you feel about the forced downtime mechanics blizz likes to use now

plush roost
#

As someone who has done insane amount of m+ on ze beta, there isnt a ton of forced downtime that is more than 1-2 globals

vale pine
#

my opinion on it, was that it has the potential to require smart tanking to allow melee dps to switch targets

lilac stag
vale pine
#

so it will be a lot worse in pugs

vale pine
lilac stag
#

It’s literally every beta raid test. melee dead

warm marlin
vale pine
#

keep in mind charrend, i played with an entire blind group

#

none of which had seen the dungeon before

#

so tanks did not adjust to anything happening, and many encounters ended up played inefficiently

plush roost
#

Ye if ur blind youll be forced onto downtime more thats just true of all content

vale pine
#

its mostly not true for ranged dps

#

which is the diffrence i tried to point out

alpine wraith
#

happens sometimes a boss can be krangled for some and decent for others

grand wyvern
#

i would dig some bosses krangled for ranged, just for fairness

plush roost
#

Eh if a tank frontals u as ranged ur also downtime

#

But its not as frequent

frail kindle
#

bro idk ive tried playing as a caster and that was cancer sometimes lmao, i might just be full melee brain tho

plush roost
#

Ranged has downtime kinda with stuff to dodge (unless bm) or suboptimal damage

frail kindle
#

the real op shit is unholy though, like that class you can just run around on your horse like an idiot and nothing can kill you

grand wyvern
plush roost
#

I think its fairly fair, like a 40/60 ranged to melee downtime ratio imo

north garnet
#

need to be on that ass

vale pine
#

its basically like this

#

if a boss is bad for ranged, rangeds do slightly less damage, but still compete

#

if a boss is bad for melee, they are often bad enough that every single one needs to have a very good reason to be invited to the raid

#

blizz mostly tries to fix this by avoiding bad melee fights all together

#

its an decade old problem with many fixed, the above is the attempt blizz decided is the most reasonable

lucid jackal
lucid jackal
vale pine
#

i can think of one exception to this

lucid jackal
#

I mean for the past like, multiple years atp. Ranged is just tuned lower than melee at a baseline, and then you have fights that are bad for ranged, and then it's like, literally why bring anything other than gate and mage buff

#

Amirdrasil was a double wft tier for a lot of guilds, back when it was wft and not skyfury buff

#

Melee has been very good for a long time

grand wyvern
#

idk, being in a lower guild is still awful cause when there is a problem you are forced into suboptimal strats to solve it and melee take always the L

vale pine
vale pine
grand wyvern
#

i was forced to hard swap on the add on loomithar cause ranged didn't have enough damage

lucid jackal
#

Is that really that bad for sub? You just like, lose the boss damage, but anybody swapping is losing boss damage in this instance

grand wyvern
#

it made very akward cd timings

warm marlin
#

or for stacked burst cleave reasons (see: ovinax, ansurek)

vale pine
#

we had tiers melee was not tuned higher than ranged

#

so would not generalize it to "always better"

#

tho thats just a little detail in the discussion

soft ferry
#

is sub fun to play atm?

grand wyvern
vale pine
#

thats my point

graceful crown
vale pine
#

ranged dps ended up stronger in multiple tiers

#

its not as clear cut as made in the statement

#

ForeverGuy: I mean for the past like, multiple years atp. Ranged is just tuned lower than melee at a baseline, and then you have fights that are bad for ranged, and then it's like, literally why bring anything other than gate and mage buff

#

this is the statement for reference

graceful crown
#

survival is strong i think?

vagrant fulcrum
#

It has a big hurdle to overcome to see play over the ranged specs

lucid jackal
vagrant fulcrum
#

For sarkareth as an example it was the best tuned spec if you played it, azor did (and did great damage) but most didn’t bother

warm marlin
#

also i forgot but dk also applies there as a cringe niche class

vale pine
#

i think the enviroment plays a central role to efficiency

warm marlin
#

niches are theoretically interesting but as dks have discovered it's fun to be played 3x of because you're benefitting from your niche, it sucks to be reliant on your niche to be brought

vale pine
#

blizz sucessively removes niches tho

#

e.g. rogue was for a certain time brought to handle soaks and cheese other mechanics

grand wyvern
#

the only purpose of a rogue in tbc is to click magtheridon cube twice KEK

vale pine
#

it was why blizz moved our physical damage increase raid buff to monk, which did not offer similar benefits

warm marlin
vale pine
magic cliff
#

I think our unlikable nature with grips makes up for it to a point

#

But I do agree with the general sentiment

grand wyvern
#

rogue is pretty unkillable with feint CD, thankfully DK takes all the blame for being immortal

vale pine
#

rogue is easier to kill than dk

#

thats why

alpine wraith
#

they have found our weakness more than once is constant non aoe dmg

lucid jackal
#

DK is actually just so beyond overtuned

alpine wraith
#

like heavy dots

lucid jackal
#

Like actually so broken it's not even funny

vale pine
#

^

lucid jackal
#

Grip is broken

#

Deaths advance is broken

#

Ams is broken

#

The class has so much survivability and utility it's beyond stupid

vale pine
#

having an extreme outliner, does not mean rogue isn't rly good at something

bleak night
#

death charger as rider

#

op

lucid jackal
#

It needed to get nerfed yesterday

bleak night
#

i zoom

warm marlin
#

You could give them 0 passive magic dr make ams a 30s cd and it would still be strong

alpine wraith
#

remember they also get 15% stam or something

#

for free

warm marlin
#

instead they just have 75% of feint up at all times and stam and have 40s ams

magic cliff
#

Pls leave my passive Dr alone ty

lucid jackal
#

Dk is overtuned beyond fuck

#

And has been for a long time

lucid jackal
#

Had to listen to moron dk players talk about "we need a raid buff"

#

I drop 3 bombs on Ur head

warm marlin
#

wait let me find the clip

plush roost
#

I think they should give dk atrophic poison and feint

lucid jackal
#

Literally

plush roost
#

Rogue a little too useful rn

hazy breach
#

Give DK atrophic poison

#

Give rogue a dps raid buff

tropic pier
magic cliff
#

Id take it

grand wyvern
#

make find weakness raidwide

plush roost
#

Remember when blizzard made a big dev note on dk in s3 tww about raid buffs and put unholy aura right under it as 2% haste.

Then didnt specify it was just for the dk

#

Good troll

tropic pier
#

i feel dk always does good damage the last 2 expacs as well

magic cliff
#

Depends on content

tropic pier
#

if they arent the top spec which they were for a lot of tiers they are like top 4

#

and just domianted m+

magic cliff
#

Undermine wasn't stellar but still solid

plush roost
#

Ehh dk in df m+ was beans, was good in raid during lust

magic cliff
#

Nerubar the same, manaforge frost blasted

plush roost
#

Nothing like my uhdk with pi lust army doubling the entire raid for 45 seconds

lucid jackal
#

LMFAOOOOOO

tropic pier
#

The only reason dk wasnt op in m+ in dragonflight was aug mage godcomps

grand wyvern
lucid jackal
#

Like u stacked dk fury

tropic pier
#

Im pretty sure it was a top 20% raid spec in every single tier

warm marlin
#

yes

lucid jackal
#

That solved webs. Broodtwister

tropic pier
#

And frequently #1

#

just in terms of dmg

magic cliff
#

I think frost was very good early but fell off

warm marlin
#

they played 2x fdk on ansurek

magic cliff
#

Lemme look again

plush roost
#

Fdk in nerubar was jesus

warm marlin
#

and court

plush roost
#

Surprised they only did 2x people predicted 4x didnt they?

magic cliff
#

Just based on wcl stats it's average dropped over time

plush roost
#

Thats probably because the stuff it was brought for got trivialized

magic cliff
#

Indeed

plush roost
#

Same with fury and sub

magic cliff
#

Very good early fell off, but certainly strong for the start of the tier

plush roost
#

Well it fell off like 4 months in but ye ig

magic cliff
#

Whenever 11.0.5 was

#

The great shamaning

lilac stag
#

You could also step behind them and blow them the fuck up

alpine wraith
#

yea i explained how to do the step inbetween the 2

#

to get max dmg

lilac stag
#

sorry you didn’t like being useful

alpine wraith
#

if you moved a bit to the side after stepping the first you hit the 2 with nimble

#

and sec tech

lilac stag
#

it’s mind boggling to me that people don’t like using the specs strengths to take care of important parts of the fight.

#

parse on the rekill and tell your shaman to actually target a damn add

alpine wraith
#

well not everyone has a prog mindset instead of parse mindset

#

arguably even in midnight we will be quite useful on bursting the adds that sapwn

#

20 sec dance is crazy to just snipe anything that comes regularly

#

that way other specs dont have to save cds

lilac stag
#

Better off saying 25 second Sectech kekdog

grand wyvern
lilac stag
#

It wasn’t awful

#

That’s just cope

lethal pasture
#

random question cause I think my char is bugged - has anyone else got the issue where it will only let me put 8 points in the last 3 rows of the class tree, other builds ive seen have 11 and when i try to import them it just leaves the last 3 rows empty and says i have to spend 3 more points to access them

lilac stag
#

you had to play with cd timings

#

You can say you don’t enjoy that

#

and I’d say just play assa then

#

Bad fight timings for sub? That was demon hunters

grand wyvern
#

i dunno, i am dumb i couldn't solve it, i just followed my raid leader and took the L

#

then again we were talking about suboptimal strats in lower guilds, you can't expect melees to be just better to compensate

lilac stag
#

Idk what you consider lower. We were us 525 and I was swapping to adds on lumi

#

Kill important shit. Pull dos off add and put to boss when you’re over killing adds.

grand wyvern
#

just a question, how early/late were you swapping?

lilac stag
#

Hell if I remember. That was what 5 months ago? 2nd add was active and I went. So did DH.

grand wyvern
#

Ok, I don't doubt that me just bad, but i was forced to swap on both adds and as soon as possible, the walk alone if I popped was dogshit. That said the whole point i was trying to make is that often bad strats hurt melee more than ranged

lilac stag
#

Rik Reverb the two of us were killing the range add(s)

#

Looks amazing on wcl

#

Don’t care. Boss dead.

chrome palm
#

Haven’t played beta much, logged on yesterday, but at 680 haste without lust, you don’t get 2 dances in blades right after the first, right? @plush roost

#

Or am I missing something

lilac stag
#

You need last

chrome palm
#

Actual poverty spec omg

lilac stag
#

Well you need lust for 2x Sectech

#

You can chain 2 dances

#

I think you hold blades for 10 seconds or so

chrome palm
#

You’re holding blades for secret technique maybe

lilac stag
#

or cut one dance out

#

Ahead of blades

That might be it I haven’t paid attention recently

lilac stag
#

at least in ST that last time I messed with it. Not sending one dance ahead of blades felt better

#

idk what the apl was suggesting.

#

That 3rd dance with Sectech was up right after like on pull

plush roost
#

The first option breaks the simulation apparently so its just vibes based but im pretty sure thats optimal

#

And yes sblades is effectively a 1:40-1:45 cd

#

Your priority of cds is literally sec tec > dance > sblades.

#

Sectec is just that powerful

#

Note that 680 haste wants u to start dance with full cp

#

As well

#

In lust sec tec becomes 14ish seconds so u can just send 2nd dance when it comes up with no issue

grand wyvern
#

does the first dance change anything or you just don't play it on beta?

plush roost
#

No it just allows u 3 more globals in dance at start which is nice for keys

#

But in raid it falls off at 2:30ish kill timer

#

And even worse without lust on pull

#

Ive tried dropping it for weaponmaster and its fine if there is absolutely no combat drops

#

Like in a nexus point or skyreach

alpine wraith
#

you can still force some first dances with vanish

#

but it is annoying to do

#

on m+ i mean on raid it never works

plush roost
#

Yeah but theres actually so much stuff to vanish this tier its basically never worth it

alpine wraith
#

ya

#

oh man it is going to a funny season

astral axle

hmmm

not quite happy with it but oh well

given the wording in the AoE rotation guide on Wowhead, is it safe to assume that i'm still pressing BP on 2+ targets and only using Eviscerate on single-target?

Does anyone have a screen shot of an old sub opener? Trying to show the extent of pruning to a friend and can’t find an old opener anywhere

Does anyone have recommended keybinds? I'm new to Rogue and the little cheatsheet I've been using is not updated for pre-patch/pruning (and probably won't be updated)

# shrewd lantern bro do you know how hard it is to count to 4?

This parody song is actually called "Numbers" like Drowning Pool's "Bodies" but no one calls it that. They just call it "I can only count to four" by Psychostick. I'm sure people called Bodies "Let the bodies hit the floor" all the time. JJJreact #psychostick #songparody

from that

well bfa s4 fire

tribal blade

add it to the pile

#

i remember now you needed poison dispels on the worm boss in NL

chrome palm
#

rogue experience in s3 was quite bad in ara because of poison dispell

tribal blade
#

yah ara was another big one

chrome palm
#

if you tried playing with like a rsham or something in the regular comp

tribal blade
#

getting a prot pal for ara was always amazing

#

i think they had the best overall kit for that dungeon

chrome palm
#

yeah

#

just another raid buff you dont get

tribal blade
#

sad

#

oh they bring better atrophic though smile

chrome palm
#

i havent looked at dungeons is it better in m+? atrophic seems better on average in raid

tribal blade
#

honestly not sure

#

i think it's encounter dependent

shrewd lantern
#

They bring a raid buff

#

spellward for the priest in your raid that refuses to move

tribal blade
#

spell warding is actually so insanely good for some things

exotic steeple
#

boomie felt so good in s2 and s3

tribal blade
#

was boomy any good in S3? no idea

exotic steeple
#

not bad for sure

tribal blade
#

rdruid was meta that season

exotic steeple
#

but i meant the playstyle

tribal blade
#

so kinda leaves the door shut for boomy

#

ah gotcha

exotic steeple
#

i dont like the eclipse changes and the cancelaura on starlord gone

#

and overall like the class just felt good with 24/7 eclipse

thats why im going assa sub this season

tribal blade

did shindig say he prefers DS sub over trickster

notlikethis

tribal blade
#

that just bums me out

tepid trellis
#

its okay to have a different opinion even if said opinion is just straight up wrong

tribal blade
graceful rock
#

fwiw he only likes it because you have to hit evis in aoe

#

and its not just storm bp/coup macro rinse repeat

#

give us mara malevolence

#

that shit owns

tribal blade
#

since they fixed coup apex bug

#

i dunno it will always feel absolutely dogshit playing DS in aoe needing to constantly hit evis that does no aoe

tepid trellis
#

well on AoE you are likely not holding coups

tribal blade
#

and then cancelauraing DN apex

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

you also cant cancel aura DN for apex

tribal blade
#

sorry mb meant cancel aura apex

#

on DN

didn't they make the apex un cancelable as well or am i thinking of another class now

could abuse legendaries

and on top of that the stealth/dance shananigans

but we have those even now

alpine wraith
#

im actually surprised they fixed so much

#

like almost all apex bugs are fixed

#

and the new hero talent takent krangles

red pewter
#

For every bug they fix they plan an aura nerf to keep us down. It’s good stuff

alpine wraith
#

well sub was going to be quite strong if not nerfed what i find funny is they kinda knew

#

in midnight of course

#

live we are dog

hollow spear
#

I don't think other classes look much better in the bug department

#

They might not be as meticulous as our group when keeping track of them

#

And I'm going to hold my breath about balance. It's all a waste of time to really get mad about if we're like 3-4 balancing moves away from final.

vale pine

it wasnt that powerful in mists

and well neither in wod but it was nice for getting some extra dmg anyway

tribal blade
#

like probably years worth of bugfixes if we were in previous expacs

tribal blade
#

can't even blame them honestly because imagine playing your spec and just doing 0 dam right before a major content drop

lilac stag
tribal blade

plus the last tuning we didn't get gutted

lilac stag

people really don’t understand that (even though it’s a low bar to aim for)

for sub it's massive

tribal blade
#

if you compare to say TWW beta cycle

tribal blade
#

the arms warr in my guild linked me this today

lilac stag
#

TWW beta cycle, DF beta cycle, SL beta cycle…

tribal blade
#

arms channel is full memes atm

haughty mural

ye pretty much

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

arms figuring out they are the meme after 3 expansions

haughty mural
#

not even execute niche

#

since fury sims 20k more in 3min execute poggers

tribal blade
#

that's crazy

#

how does that even make sense

haughty mural
#

i think they will just revert the 20% execute nerf and slap a fat aura on arms

tribal blade
#

doesn't arms have like triple the amount of execute talents over fury

lilac stag
lilac stag
#

I’d be curious to see what their OBA sims are when compared to fury

#

but it could just be a hate boner for arms. They got a number of weird changes, but it looked like they were at least responsive to feedback

#

Then got nuked

haughty mural
#

still a lot of tuning to be done

#

arms will be fine

lilac stag
#

You mean fury

haughty mural
tribal blade
#

yeah i think arms will end up being fine

#

"fine" in relative terms

#

probably not stellar

lilac stag
#

Based on the war within history? Or what?

tribal blade
#

but yeah there's the thing

#

after what blizz has done to specs like us

haughty mural
#

played sub when we were below aug

tribal blade
#

there IS a chance that blizz just completely screws arms

haughty mural
#

so it'll be fine

lilac stag
#

If prot and fury are solid arms likely getting the black powder tuning

#

I’d be happy to be wrong

haughty mural

I'd also be happy kekdog

it is pointless tho

hardware changes also and you can spoof mac addresses

scarlet heath

there are bots that can help with alt accounts

but it is losing fight

fleet wharf
#

yea, but then you have to go buy new hardware

scarlet heath
#

if someone wants you gonna get harassed

fleet wharf
#

in this economy? that's a death sentence

tropic pier
#

not really just present a new mac address

scarlet heath

HW ban is also very easy to get around btw

vale pine
tropic pier

You can set your phones or pcs mac address to whatever you want

which is the hardware ID

scarlet heath
#

"safest" way if you wanna keep people away is enforce phone authentication

#

but this will piss off many people

fleet wharf
#

yea, but would you buy new cpu, mobo, harddrive/ssd to try to get around a hardware ban?

scarlet heath
#

and you guessed it, even phone auth can be spoofed

i think this server does have a phone verification

it being the 23rd, has no context by itself

it being february has a context by itself

you know what i mean?

no

i do not

#

please elaborate

fleet wharf
#

not really, but we can pretend it does

chrome palm
#

every feburary is about the same

short radish
#

and continue defending your silly ordering system

chrome palm
#

the 23rd of each month is totally different

#

also

#

do you guys say "the 23rd of february" because here it is common to say "february the 23rd"

fleet wharf
#

is this along the same line as how the first digit of Fahrenheit system is useful because each 10 increment means something so we have to learn that water freezes at... 32 and boils at 245 or some arbitrary number and not 0 and 100?

short radish
scarlet heath

just wait till you hear about the same guys using feet and inches instead of metric system like the rest of the world

simple as

if i'm in the current month i'll say the day first

but if it's more than a month after i'll say the month first

mine is whole number only

also i always set mine to the lowest possible (16)
