YOU'RE TROLLING

#

2 of these going on

#

the rank 1 enchants and gems suck

#

it's kinda wild

#

worse than r3 TWW stuff

warm marlin
#

how much is thalassian haste

tribal blade
#

like... 9? i think

warm marlin
#

old enchant from tww is 21 bro omegalul

tribal blade
#

yeah 9

#

that's nuts

rich canopy
#

Has anyone found a later quest with weapons?

tribal blade
#

i guess if i actually level up enchanting they get way better

maiden oar
#

what difficulty

tribal blade
#

R2 thal haste is 13

maiden oar
#

my man needs items when im done w renown

warm marlin
#

healer valeera is crazy

#

u just tank everything

tribal blade
#

the orbs she drops are really easy to see it's nice

maiden oar
#

ok neat

#

which story variant is good

warm marlin
#

this delve, cages can be opened from stealth and it doesnt break

maiden oar
#

oh

warm marlin
#

then just fight guys at end

#

and reset

maiden oar
#

ok ty

tribal blade
#

half the delves have those true sight eyes

#

and it's fucking tilting

warm marlin
#

theres like 0 of them in that one

#

insane stealth delve no cap

tribal blade
#

hell yeah

alpine ore
#

is subt the most comfortable to level with atm?

tribal blade
warm marlin
#

i wouldnt run that delve with more than 3 ppl though

maiden oar
#

is there any minmax that is conclusively good besides the apex strike thing

warm marlin
#

the last boss kinda becomes bullethell

maiden oar
#

i havent been following past 2 weeks

tribal blade
#

charrend had a few things he was doing

warm marlin
maiden oar
#

ah

#

do we still 1:40 blades

#

or is that done

warm marlin
#

think so

#

i too am slacker

maiden oar
tribal blade
#

maybe 1 day they'll put sectec on cdr again

maiden oar
#

charges maybe coming

tribal blade
#

or do the shots thing fuu wants

#

yeah

maiden oar
#

cdm hints at it

tribal blade
#

it does

cursive vapor
maiden oar
tribal blade
maiden oar
#

but thtats just to build muscle memory since im not gonna get an excuse to play it in content

tribal blade
#

i was just boucing around mobs nonstop and stealing everything

maiden oar
#

doing the 123 (1 cp 2+ dice 3 oppo stacks = press ss) thing requires rewiring of brain

#

ok maybe roingus will be subtlety rogye

tribal blade
#

oh yeah outlaw has more thinky going on

#

grapple is also really good movement

maiden oar
#

anyone here look @ dungeon journals for the final bosses

tribal blade
#

i could read them but i wouldn't be able to picture it lol

maiden oar
#

i think potential 9/9 sub tier maybe assa on the final march on queldenas boss

maiden oar
#

it has basically every mechanic i was sad about never experiencing due to being a new wow player in it

chrome palm
#

Fyrakk seeds and what else

maiden oar
#

and might be basically st (ive never had a chance to fight an actually hard st boss yet)

#

denathrius dimensions

#

or maybe i misread the dawn dusk shard thing and theres adds u need to hit often idk

blazing dawn
#

Not a single boss this tier is pure ST

maiden oar
#

ok yeah u hit the one color crystal

#

hmm maybe not sin execute guy

#

but the final phase looks fhn

#

w the seeds and shields and dimensions

chrome palm
#

It could be an st fight we’ll see

#

Having the last boss be the st dance fight would be cool

maiden oar
maiden oar
warm marlin
#

isnt there footage of it getting pulled

maiden oar
#

it didnt look like adds in the ability section

#

but the short journal summary makes it look like adds

chrome palm
maiden oar
#

p3 looks insanely good though

chrome palm
#

And the rwf guilds were still practicing on beloren probably

maiden oar
#

i am insanely excited

chrome palm
#

Kinda need to see the fight

maiden oar
#

it could be spread cleave yes

chrome palm
#

For all we know the boss might fly up in the sky or somethjng

maiden oar
#

or some other anti sub design

chrome palm
maiden oar
#

some wiki idk

#

says same thing in game

#

just not at pc rn

#

petting cat

chrome palm
maiden oar
#

either way i think its mostly st

onyx flame
#

Is it just me or do the new Dungeons feel a little unfriendly towards melee?

keen dome
#

I'm glad Blizz is making everyone group wih a rogue to do content this expanison. In Delves.

chrome palm
#

if blizzard gives her a smoke bomb curio im going to lose my mind

keen dome
#

haha

lean sigil
#

do we "pool" full cp since we use dance on full CP into sec with trickster? lets say its 3 sec left i have full cp, do i evis and build again (will ofc have cds up and not used for a few extra sec) of cds up or do i hold my cp for dance for lets say 3 sec?

chrome palm
#

you can backstab here, just make sure you have enough energy to cast secret technique immediately off cooldown

astral briar
#

how are you guys leveling after campaign? it feels like everything is dead slow

lean sigil
chrome palm
#

in the scenario you talked about i believe so

hollow spear
#

Needs some getting used to

chrome palm
#

master of shadow should really be instant!

vale pine
#

good morning lovely people

lean sigil
#

morning fuu, maybe you can have a look at my question just above?

sullen hare
#

gm fuu

south zenith
#

Mornin'

keen dome
#

good morning, Fuu

sullen hare
#

so yeah you can chug out a couple backstabs at full points and it's not a big deal

lean sigil
#

perfect ty!

sullen hare
#

just don't spam it so hard you burn up your whole energy bar by the time sectec cd comes up

#

because backstab damage basically doesn't matter

maiden oar
#

once im done w that im not sure but i figure its probably good to do rn

lean sigil
#

is raidbots up to date for rogue?

#

sims old reshi above 224 back

hollow spear

supple pawn
#

how many SD macros do we need?

tribal blade
#

!macro

wicked joltBOT
#

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.

supple pawn

ty

hollow spear
#

What's the latest on the coup powder macro? I believe Charr said not apexing coup was criminal.

limpid sage
#

did you guys lvl deathstalker or trickster?

cursive vapor
hollow spear
#

I think if you switch to deathstalker, you'll download a virus

south kernel
hollow spear
#

Can't recommend doing that

torn tide
#

should i be caring about stats much rn?

hollow spear
south kernel
#

yea i get u

hollow spear
south kernel
#

it'd be fun if its the case

#

atleast add more brain power to aoe

torn tide
south kernel
#

i just hope they tune that optimization of ignoring apex refund

#

god it fells horrid to do

limpid sage
#

donno if it's because of the missing talents

hollow spear
#

I was actually wondering about that optimisation. Let's say you're at 5 sht stacks and dance + sectec come up. Do you go dance sectec or do you go dance strike?

#

Who cares about sims for leveling

supple pawn
#

is sub more red or purple coded

tribal blade
hollow spear
#

Enemies die before tfd is even over

tribal blade
south kernel
#

its way mroe damage

south kernel
#

well

#

in dance if u have enough stacks to reproc apex

#

u shadowstrike again

tribal blade
#

oh yeah

south kernel
#

in ST only

#

but it feels so fucking bad i dont wanna do it

#

i wonder whats teh % gain on that

tribal blade
#

it's alright, kinda weird because it breaks a hard rule of playing rogue

south kernel
#

cos if its sub 1% im skipping it

#

not only weird its horrid

tribal blade
#

iirc it's ~1.5%

south kernel
#

i fucking hate u

#

could have removed a 1 from there

#

and lied to me

#

so i would have been happy

tribal blade
#

haha have to hate on the TCs in here then

supple pawn
#

is there any way/addon to make macros change icon when you get a proc?

tribal blade
#

i think 1.5% is not enough where you will be incredibly behind on dps if you don't do it

south kernel
#

darn u fuu

#

DARN YOU

south kernel
#

still gotta see how criminal it is to not apex coup in aoe and st

tribal blade
south kernel
#

for now imma jsut ignore it till the tuning patch

tribal blade
#

it's probably better if it stays like this to add some skill expression to the spec

south kernel
#

by denying the combo point reset?

#

idk man it feels bad af

#

wasnt it enough that i dont get my shotgun sounds anymore feelscryman

#

btw is there anyway to add that back?

#

shotgun sound on reset

fleet wharf
#

!apex

tribal blade
#

i miss the refund sound WA i had, but i REALLY miss my coup WA

south kernel
#

what did that one do

tribal blade
#

basically made it so i never ever missed coup proccing

#

sound + a pretty big icon direcly in the middle of my screen

south kernel
#

LMAO

#

i mean now u will jsut cast it when u press finishers

#

with the bp macro

hollow spear
#

Which is a loss, apparently

#

I unbound the macro

#

And everyone complaining about not enough buttons should do, too

south kernel
#

any rough estimate?

#

and this is mainly aoe no?

#

cos in st u never wanna hold evis so u perma send

limpid sage
hollow spear
south kernel
#

yea figures

hollow spear
#

But the macro is coup powder

#

So it doesn't affect st anyways

south kernel
#

ye

rancid sierra
#

so per the guide.. you dont ever coup in AOE with the nimble flurry cleave heor talent?

rancid sierra
#

@tepid trellis yikes, sorry

#

I looked before i typed too. Must have missed.

sly shore
#

why evis before dance

#

in opener

tepid trellis
#

SnD

sly shore
#

ofc

tepid trellis
#

but its more or less neutral

#

like always

sly shore
#

yeah

lean sigil
#

but you enter dance on 0 cp in opener?

#

thought we were supposed to use dance/sec macro and enter at full cp?

tepid trellis
#

thats the general rule yes

lean sigil
#

but not in opener?

tepid trellis
#

like i said above it doesent really matter which way you do it

limpid sage
#

how come we don't vanish opener?

#

also shuriken storm tech isn't better anymore or?

tepid trellis
#

storm is only for DS

limpid sage
#

oh dang

lean sigil
#

but if you do it like the above pic we miss out on abit of dance? since we cant cast shadowstrike as fast as we can cast sec?

tepid trellis
tepid trellis
tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

i skip evis

tribal blade
#

i've been doing the same

#

it feels way less clunkier

fiery fog
#

quick question about ancient arts
do i strike after a cp reset as well if i have 5+ sht stacks?

#

or do i evis twice

tepid trellis
#

strike

tulip light
#

are there some weird interaction with apex and certain spells? i notice it doesnt refund cp if i use stech as finisher. also if im at full cp with apex procc and press dance my cp just disappear?

tepid trellis
#

i think premed might still block cp refunds not sure tho

#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
tepid trellis
#

yeh

tulip light
#

meeh... ty

tepid trellis
#

just tried to replicate your cp missing cant say that i can make that happen

#

u sure you aint got some dance+sectech macro or smth

hazy breach
#

The cp doesnt disappear

#

Its just the refund buff that disappears

tepid trellis
#

or what do you mean

hazy breach
#

If you press a finisher with premed and apex up the apex gets cancelled no?

tepid trellis
#

ah its just the premed bug he was purely thinking off

hazy breach
#

Yeah at first glance it looks like youre just losing cp since your apex talent is gone and you dont get any refunds

#

But its just the apex buff thats getting cancelled (for some reason)

tribal blade
tulip light
#

Weird. I will check later on dummies thx guys

full lagoon
#

ah hell nah they put homophobic mobs in the game

lilac stag
#

Has anyone tested WM clone dmg on live?

hazy breach
#

Ye its fixed

grand galleon
#

guys, apex talent not showing procs (dark doritos) - is it disabled somewhere by default?

lilac stag
#

need to be 90, it's default is on

#

opacity likely changed at somepoint for something else

swift tinsel
#

Check Spell Alert Opacity

grand galleon
lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

lol not a bad idea

#

Alright coffee is brewing time to hit 300 fishing

lilac stag
#

trying to hit 90. finally have a moment of peace. all the dogs and cats fed

swift tinsel
#

Hell yeah

lilac stag
#

i want to get the warrior over to start smithing stuff

swift tinsel
#

Had to do some sojourn quests to finish it off, even with a ton of gathering xp it still took 1.5 levels after finishing campaign to hit 90

swift tinsel
#

I have my prof alts there already lol

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

You get the quest to find the image of liadrin, talk to it, then select skip to go directly to silvermoon

lilac stag
#

Sorry. I meant campaign needs to be done first on main no?

swift tinsel
#

Oh, I would assume so

#

I didn’t try until my rogue was 90

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Voidstorm takes like an hour it’s super short

lyric bough
#

I've done a good handful of heroics now, with another random rogue and really feels like assassination is doing alot better, at least at 220ilvl

#

Anyone else find the same?

swift tinsel
#

sub superiority down with the bleedy bois

graceful crown
#

until 17th after balance changes, its time to talk

#

🫂

swift tinsel
#

I'm having a real good time with apex in dungeons so I'm fine not playing sin

#

big boom bp blastin'

keen dome
#

Sub is a lotta fun, ye

lyric bough
#

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I feel sub does nothing outside of shadow dance. Feels like auto attacking compared to other classes

swift tinsel
#

that's how it works

lyric bough
#

Ok

limpid sage
#

I don't get how the last apex talent is a dmg increase

lyric bough
#

Haven't played rogue since legion when they fucked it

limpid sage
#

doesn't it just reduce your chance of making extra clones on your generators?

swift tinsel
#

it lets your finishers spawn clones

#

instead of just builders

#

which is very strong

keen dome
#

It's effectively giving you control over it, to some extent.

#

Kinda? I guess.

#

But it's letting a finisher consume 5 which will spawn the clone

limpid sage
#

oh so it makes finishers count as generators as well?

swift tinsel
#

it takes the refund portion and counts it as 'Expending' in the first apex node to spawn clones

#

which is why I'm thinking they used that word in both apex 1 and apex 3

#

'attacks that expend Shadow Techniques' and 'your next damaging finishing move will expend them'

#

continuity

keen dome
#

Yeah. It's not the clearest way to write it but they tried to be consistent

limpid sage
#

ah okay

#

I thought this was the case when the apex was released but I remember someone saying that it was just builders

#

I also saw Eleem write something about a cancelaura macro. Is it because Sectec Ancient Arts clones only trigger part of the spell?

swift tinsel
#

yeah but we dont do that anymore

limpid sage
#

gotcha

plush roost
#

They fixed apex 2 so conserving sht isnt a problem

#

So no more cancel aura

#

Only thing people cancelaura is Apex DN in aoe, but then youd be playing ds hehe

limpid sage
#

Does each individual Sectec clone proc apex 1?

plush roost
#

Procs apex 2 yes

#

So its 2 sht, or 4 in dance from shadoe craft

#

Apex another 1/2

#

Its kindof like

#

The s3 df tier set

#

If u played then

#

Except instead of it being just 2cp per clone, its now sht

limpid sage
#

I didn't D: I started sub in LoU

#

I guess what I'm confused about is the wording of the Apex talents

plush roost
#

Yeah the wording needs work xd

#

But essentially

limpid sage
#

because Apex 3 would lead me to believe each clone from Sectec procs Apex 1, since clones can also do the Coup late refund thing

plush roost
#

20% chance (with replicating) per sht used to spawn clone on a builder. Those clones generate 1(2 with shadowcraft) sht when they do damage. If you have excess sht (5+) you will empower your next finisher to use them (20% shtx5) to spawn a clone and copy that finisher

limpid sage
#

except if it's an onCast hook

plush roost
#

The sec tec clones SHOULD but they are currently bugged

limpid sage
#

Ya okay that makes sense

plush roost
#

Who knows when that gets fixed

limpid sage
#

before raid release surely Clueless

plush roost
#

And if premeditation buff is up, your apex disabled, similar to how you couldnt refund shadowcraft in tww during premed

#

Must have used similar code omegaLOL

limpid sage
#

wait so how does Dance->Sectec work

plush roost
#

Yeah spec has like 5 negative impacting bugs

#

Unlucky

#

U just dont proc your apex on sec tec

#

Is nbd

#

It was neutral to cancel aura anywah

#

The bug just forces cancelaura

#

Xd

limpid sage
#

worded that weirdly but does it make sense? xd

lean sigil
#

!sim

#

anyone know is raidbots is up to date for rogues?

swift tinsel
#

is it worth to force an apex proc for coup to flurry

limpid sage
#

like force apex 3 on coup?

swift tinsel
#

yeah

#

since they fixed the bug and coup clones flurry

limpid sage
#

I was wondering that as well

#

I'd imagine so

swift tinsel
#

would assume so since it trucks

#

but also bp is a monster

kindred coral
#

guys on aoe rotation you press shadowstrike on dance or shuriken storm

kindred coral
#

so shadowstrike only on st?

swift tinsel
#

st and 2 targets

kindred coral
#

okok

swift tinsel
#

storm actually does decent damage now so its not just a piss button anymore

kindred coral
#

ok and 1 shadowstrike for the deathstalker even in aoe right?

limpid sage
#

does the rotten work on sectec with apex 3 as well?

kindred coral
#

whats the point of pressing dance if you dont need shadowstrike tho

swift tinsel
#

it buffs all of our damage

#

not just strike

chrome palm
#

It also buffs storm extra

kindred coral
#

okok

swift tinsel
#

counter-intuitive as it feels, I kinda like striking into full cp in st

hollow spear
#

it makes you feel something?

swift tinsel
#

like I'm cheating the system lol

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

I guess we can safely do sidequests now without fear of missing out on rep?

swift tinsel
#

it just feels very strong

lilac stag
#

it came up discussingor dissing the BP coup macro

swift tinsel
#

I couldn't see myself using that macro

#

fairly often cases where you don't wanna do that

#

and I get the aim of it, I'm just of the mind where it doesn't make sense to learn one way for convenience then unlearn and learn the correct/better way over just learning that way the first time

lilac stag
#

I just don’t think we have enough going on to warrant ever needing it

swift tinsel
#

that too honestly

lilac stag
#

There’s a legit reason for the dance macros

#

The BP coup peepono

swift tinsel
#

another apex question: if coup prepped and sectech available and apex proc available, better to send sectech over coup or coup since sectech apex clone is still just phys

#

assume st

#

ig wondering for st and aoe

hollow spear
#

I think I remember it was sectec

swift tinsel
#

seems like a bit of a waste but ig with enough sht you're gonna apex coup anyways

grim phoenix
#

anyone else lose the apex(not get a refund) if they use a shadow dance + sectech macro?

swift tinsel
wispy pebble
#

im not sure if i 100% understand the apex thing. If i have 5+ ST stacks and i dont have ancient arts buff i use SS again to trigger Ancient arts?

swift tinsel
#

if you have 5+ ShT stacks after using strike/storm then you get the buff

#

OR if you're at 5+ ShT stacks and full combo points before using strike/storm

wispy pebble
#

Okay and thats the only times i use Strike or Storm at full cp right?

swift tinsel
#

in single target

wispy pebble
#

Oh, wowhead guide says until 4 targets

swift tinsel
#

that's news to me then, was only ever floated for single target

wispy pebble
#

it says "As Trickster: Use Shadowstrike even if you are on full combo points if you have 5 or more stacks of Shadow Techniques up to trigger Ancient Arts. Only during Shadow Dance on low target counts (at maximum 4 targets). "

plush roost
# lilac stag Yesterday Charrend said it feels like a yes in keys

I think whats gonna end up being "correct" in aoe is to have escalating a 3/4 before dance even if u have to hold coup for a bit then either go dance storm >apex coup sec tec, or sectec > storm >apex coup

The first one being contingent on you watching sec tec cdr and dancing 2 seconds before its up

#

Just vibes i dont have math

lilac stag
swift tinsel
lilac stag
#

would be curious to see over vs losing casts even pushing it back 1 global

plush roost
lilac stag
#

ye

#

flashbacks to last 2 seasons and people missing dance casts

tropic pier
#

you guys think trickster or deathstalker is faster leveling

lilac stag
#

doesn’t matter

tropic pier
#

i mean if one is a tiny bit better id like to use it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

swift tinsel
#

trickster has the giant benefit of not being deathstalker

#

which is hard to overlook

tropic pier
#

i thought trickster would be better at first but maybe deathstalkers mark helps you kill stuff faster

lilac stag
#

no one is min maxing open world sub builds.

swift tinsel
#

you kill everything with a sectech

lilac stag
#

Everything is dead in 4 globals

plush roost
#

Oh u guys just tell him its deathstalker

swift tinsel
#

habitual menace

plush roost
#

(Its the same tbh)

lilac stag
#

you know us, withholding info to sandbag leveling

#

best hero tree for leveling is ILVL

swift tinsel
#

I was liking trickster a lot by just gathering - dance+sectech - storm+ub's killing everything

plush roost
#

I mean blizzard is gonna look at heroic dungeon spam and leveling and if we go too hard theyll nerf sub again

#

Just like havoc in tww1 hahahaha

swift tinsel
#

they're gonna see us casting bp too much and buff nimble to the moon

#

oppo of tww

humble jolt
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

priority dmg inc

swift tinsel
#

Potent powder nerf inc

#

Gonna halve it

torn tide
#

yo so now the rotation with that last apex is when above 5 sht stacks just strike even if full cp?

alpine wraith
#

been like that for a while

#

apexmaxxing

#

but also the win is not huge funnily enough

torn tide
#

so i just needa make sure i have 5sht then play around with it?

swift tinsel
#

I actually only look at my sht bar during dance and ignore cp once they’re max lol

#

Unless it’s BP time

tepid trellis
#

at max cp if you do not have an apex proc and you have 5 or more sht stacks

#

strike again

hollow spear
#

1.5% isn't too bad

#

We've done crazier stuff for less

swift tinsel
#

I’ve done worse for less lol

#

Ye haha

#

Been having fun with the initial dungeon grind

torn tide
swift tinsel
#

You pretty much just alternate strike and evisc

tepid trellis
#

well you would not back to back evis

swift tinsel
#

Once at full cp

tepid trellis
#

its just strike-evis-strike-evis

#

if you enough sht stacks

#

to keep doing it

torn tide
#

oh great im getting the hang of it

#

ty

#

just maiing sure, its the same thing with storm and bp right

hazy breach
#

No

#

In aoe you skip this

torn tide
#

oh so aoe i just double bp whenever i can

hazy breach
#

Storm doesn't do enough damage to justify it

#

Better to just double bp ye

torn tide
#

cool ty

alpine wraith
#

yea just st

limpid sage
#

Does Sectec do the late refund thing if you cancelaura Apex 3 after?

#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

Premeditation cancels it

#

Not sectech

limpid sage
#

oh yeah that's what I meant

#

if you cancelaura Premed

#

or have they changed the hook entirely

torn tide
#

this double bp feels like cheats lmao

alpine wraith
#

you cant cancel premed i think

limpid sage
#

well that clears it

elder yarrow
#

Is deathstalker competitive with trickster at all ?

hazy breach
#

It's alright in st, only a couple of percentages behind

#

But in AOE it's not very close

elder yarrow
#

How about aoe

#

Ok

hazy breach
#

Obviously depends on the exact situation

#

But in 8 targets 2 min sims it was like 20% behind

swift tinsel
#

I’m a big coup apex nimble enthusiast

elder yarrow
#

Thanks for the intel

swift tinsel
#

Bugfix was quite a boon

hazy breach
#

Like the entire tree is pretty much momentum of despair+singular focus in aoe

#

Mass casualty+darkest night doesn't do that much more than just bps

#

Whereas trickster is atleast 20% bp damage, but also a bunch of other stuff

alpine wraith
#

yea and also some gamba to get more coups from the double unseen

#

but also unseen cleaves

#

so sometimes you get a cool

#

snap

swift tinsel
#

The forbidden coup strike strike coup

alpine wraith
#

the snappier snap snap

worldly root
#

!tricks

wicked joltBOT
alpine wraith
#

more like coup strike evis strike coup

swift tinsel

Yeah

limpid sage
#

no that's why it's forbidden

crimson dagger
#

do we have any idea what the sims are looking like between our 3 specs currently? obviously tuning can/will change things and real world scenarios can cater to a specific damage profile

quick burrow
#

Think sub is currently ahead in most situations but not all. Things seemed decently close last I checked. I’m sure someone with more up to date info can weigh in tho

alpine wraith
#

it will come more to encounters than sims

#

as usual

crimson dagger
quick burrow
#

Don’t play outlaw, fuck outlaw

vale pine
#

sub has the best vibes

#

🙂

#

alright, first step done

quick burrow
#

Ayyy grats

#

How long did it take you?

alpine wraith
#

nice only 49 left

vale pine
#

we didn't play that long yesterday and started late, so probably 8-10h total

swift tinsel
#

do I equip for the ilvl bump garf

quick burrow
#

Oh that’s not even that bad

tropic pier
#

does anyone have a nice way to tracked shadow techniques in like a fixed space or bar

#

i hate how it jumps around with the buff bar

#

(preferably without arcui)

#

also is there any benefit to tracking flawless form/fazed anymore or there are no more minmaxes with this

alpine wraith
#

i use the mako one and it works well

#

it is an icon

#

smth like this

crimson dagger
swift tinsel
#

got the lil bar on top of my cp to show

barren haven
swift tinsel
barren haven
#

Ah k nice ty

chrome palm
#

Arc not supporting fragmented buff bars

#

Make me go insane

lunar bluff
#

honestly base cdm buffs stay in place

plush trout
#

is the new sub rogue more boring or more fun? idk if i should stick to rogue or if to go for dh

barren haven
left ledge
#

Idk man the rotation is literally the exact same

#

Idk what’s different from the past expansions

#

You essentially just press shadowstrike evis in ST forever

chrome palm
#

Yeah you just

plush trout
#

in single there isnt a diff

#

but in aoe

chrome palm
#

The spec is hard on rails now

plush trout
#

the flag prep with rupture spread

left ledge
#

Flag prep?

chrome palm
#

You press your damage macro and wait 20s to press it again

plush trout
#

sod cd managament with sectec

fleet acorn
#

anyone knows a addon for the mouse pointer- i want it to be something like that (with highlight behind it)

left ledge
#

Flag was basically full stacked in like 3 finishers

#

And you had resets

#

So it was like 3 gcds in aoe

#

Maybe 4

swift tinsel
barren haven
#

Hmkay

left ledge
#

Rupture was a useless filler button to press when you couldn’t do anything else

astral mountain
chrome palm
#

I hope you weren’t pre flagging :0

left ledge
#

You can still hit your rupture keybind if you want

swift tinsel
#

oh wait you can do it with the bars too

#

not the full thing

#

nice

left ledge
#

Same effect

chrome palm
#

When we had triple dance

left ledge
#

Maybe now sub is MORE engaging because you can dance more often

#

And lust does something

chrome palm
#

Aintnoway

tropic pier
chrome palm
#

1 secret in blades

left ledge
#

Nah but fr idk what people were enjoying so much about previous sub in TWW

chrome palm
#

Not my idea of engaging

astral mountain
left ledge
#

Sectec as a button does more rn than it did back then

chrome palm
#

Yeah

left ledge
#

Not in terms of dps

plush trout
#

more engaging for sure, but it feels odd to like not thing ahead of every pull to manage my cds

chrome palm
#

It’s the only button now

left ledge
#

But interactions

#

Wha did people like pressing symbols of death?

swift tinsel
#

3 cloak wq rewards is diabolical

astral mountain
chrome palm
#

Looks symbols was fun for trickster imo

tropic pier
left ledge
#

Spec feels the exact same just less button bloat

chrome palm
#

To time the cdr in blades

tropic pier
#

i mean this is just cooldown manager

#

base

chrome palm
#

The burst window feels really boring now imo

plush trout
#

also i think my brain is cooked, but to me shuriken storm to constantly press it doesnt feel good, strike felt better :))

tropic pier
#

yesi h vae it there

left ledge
#

Idek what timing the cdr in blades means

tropic pier
#

but i dont like how it shifts position constantly

chrome palm
#

You press symbols

swift tinsel
#

the burst window feels very similar to me idk

tropic pier
#

i want to put it in a seperate spot

swift tinsel
#

bc you were often just strike-evisc anyways

left ledge
#

The fact that I don’t know what that means

chrome palm
#

Your next finisher has more cdr

left ledge
#

Ye no worries now you just have lower cds

#

No more punishment for downtime

astral mountain
chrome palm
#

You get punished more for downtime now lol

#

You straight up lose casts

tropic pier
#

only cooldowns

left ledge
#

You lose casts back then too

#

But you also lost cd uptime

chrome palm
#

You could just move casts

left ledge
#

The current playstyle is not less punishing

#

You can just move casts now too

#

What

chrome palm
#

No

#

You lose casts now

left ledge
#

Are you eating 25 seconds of downtime

chrome palm
#

If you delay secret technique now

#

You aren’t getting it back

#

It’s way more impactful

astral mountain
left ledge
#

Yeah and if you got sent up on dimensius you lost an entire dance and sectec in p1 because you couldn’t hit the bastard

tropic pier
#

its not in essential

chrome palm
tropic pier
#

can you screenshot how you have it?

left ledge
astral mountain
left ledge
#

Cdr as a finisher mechanic is objectively more punishing

chrome palm
#

Imagine there’s a damage amp at 1:40

left ledge
#

Ok

chrome palm
#

You run 700 haste

#

You want to hold for an add spawn 2 times for 5s each

#

Now your shit is delayed 10s

#

Or early

left ledge
#

?

#

That would be delaying blades which never had cdr

#

Why does that matter?

chrome palm
#

Because you only use blades when you have the things which used to be cdr’d

left ledge
#

Yes so even with old sub

tropic pier
left ledge
#

You’d be delayed 10 sec

tropic pier
#

this is how my cd manager is setup

#

i want shadow techniques in the middle bar not on top

left ledge
#

You can’t magically make that time back

left ledge
#

They didn’t just take away cdr and give us nothing

chrome palm
#

Old sub had room for error in cdr

left ledge
#

We got massively reduced cooldowns

chrome palm
#

Like you didn’t get secret back up just before blades all the time

#

It was common to hold it a little

tropic pier
#

🤦 i was saying secret techniques i meant shadow techniques

left ledge
#

Yeah sure Sectec is a bit of a pain right now

chrome palm
#

Which you’re punished for now very heavily

tropic pier
#

brainrot

chrome palm
#

That is the whole complaint

plush roost
chrome palm
#

I’m accounting for that

#

Also im p sure

left ledge
#

I just don’t see how it is more punishing in actual practice

#

Honestly I feel more free to send shit rn as sub

chrome palm
#

Nexus king burn is like 1:40 right

plush roost
#

Idr i think it was every 1:30

chrome palm
#

So like

plush roost
#

But that could be cap

tropic pier
#

are there dmg amps at bosses this tier

left ledge
#

Yes

chrome palm
#

There is a tiny ass amp on nexus king

plush roost
#

Tested it once and learned it was an amp later lmfao

plush roost
chrome palm
#

let me try to make a diagram to show what i mean to say

chrome palm
plush roost
#

I dont have dungeon journal

chrome palm
#

am i smoking meth

plush roost
#

Who knows

#

I swear it was more than 20

bold brook
hazy breach
#

But A. Thats an early boss, and B. The most important thing on that boss definitely seems like bursting down the adds

#

So sub is gonna bang either way

plush roost
#

Mfw im second highest boss dam, add dam, and smallies dam

chrome palm
#

point is sub is clearly less flexible

plush roost
#

During testing 8)

#

Yeah it is less flexible that is true

hazy breach
hazy breach
left ledge
#

It is less flexible for sure yes

hazy breach
#

But its still fairly flexible

plush roost
#

But i think we just eat the sec tec cast loss if its an important timer and call it a day unfort

hazy breach
#

Ye

chrome palm
#

its very flexible in the sense that you can arrange to dance at any 20s point, but the damage loss you incur is a lot more

uneven scarab
#

that was the big one

plush roost
chrome palm
#

its a giga tank check

#

if you got old head tanks gg

plush roost
#

I believe in tactycks

#

Ah it is 25 i c ic

chrome palm
#

save ur pot boys

lunar bluff
#

@warm marlin youree welcome

hazy breach
#

I dont disagree with the sectech not being flexible complaint, but i think blades being more like a 100s cd feels worse

plush roost
hazy breach
#

Like using blades on cd feels so jank

swift tinsel
lunar bluff
#

superchgarged borda for the people

swift tinsel
#

my goat

#

king shit

chrome palm
hazy breach
#

Ye its because hasted cdr on sectech is stinky

chrome palm
#

if dance wasnt a strict cd which doesnt like when you hold it

plush roost
chrome palm
#

id prefer like

#

longer dance cd too

#

so you dont giga overcap

lunar bluff
plush roost
lunar bluff
#

i dont really understand buffs anymore

#

like basing everything off the cdm is weird

chrome palm
#

weak auras at home 😭

plush roost
chrome palm
#

yo scale my cd with haste if i have cdr idc

plush roost
#

Remember how we were gonna have the jankiest rework ever

#

In october

tropic pier
#

just give fixed 45 sec dance cd and sectech cd and make it hit like an 18 wheeler

chrome palm
#

secret technique with hasted cd and cdr wouldnt even be that bad surely

#

either way

tropic pier
#

45 sec cds are goated dmg profile

chrome palm
#

i love lust changing my cd timings

plush roost
#

And pi

lunar bluff
#

i just completely overestimated how much dynamic cdr ALONE changes sub

plush roost
#

Cant wait to peep loorgs

bold brook
#

MHSA

make haste shit again

plush roost
#

Honestly i genuinely wonder if were gonna play 700 haste no versa no mastery no bitches early on prog

#

Or 200 haste

lunar bluff
#

just play outlaw

chrome palm
#

dude

plush roost
#

700 haste is a lot of secondary early

chrome palm
#

if i gotta go outlaw on the st last boss and i made a dagger

hazy breach
#

Full bis 289 has like 2k secondaries total

plush roost
#

Offhand dagger buddy

chrome palm
#

very upsetto

tropic pier
#

tbh is is just me or all 3 specs feel kinda meh and meh tuning

#

s3 dragonflight reworks felt better

lunar bluff
#

offhand dagger is sadly 1% better

chrome palm
#

elite 80 cr dagger off hand is hype for sure

#

with the heroic sword

lunar bluff
#

but atleast we true gamers (outlaw) can tmog swords

plush roost
#

Esp since jewelry is last to get uppies normally

hazy breach
#

Yeye it just seems insurmountable now at like 210 or whatever

#

But its gonna scale up

#

Its also wild how old raid rings are better at this ilvl

#

Because +1 socket is worth more than +50 ilvls

plush roost
#

I havent even replaced a piece of gear xd

chrome palm
#

is the 200/700 talk with the haste trinket

#

you know youre getting that piece of coal as your loot consolation prize

hazy breach
#

Robot doesnt really seem to care

#

Since the haste trinket is basically just +1 gcd in dance

#

It doesnt really matter if you are at 7 globals or 8 globals to begin with

#

Its still +1

plush roost
#

I just think in a tier with a decent level of aoe 200 haste could just be better

#

Theres a part of me that expects lightblind and alleria to be like

#

Endboss difficulty

shell vector
#

Am I crazy or does Secret Technique not count for Ancient Arts???

plush roost
#

Randomly

chrome palm
#

i think dragons are gonna be your aoe fight

hazy breach
chrome palm
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
hazy breach
#

But ancient arts gets cancelled if you have premed up when you try to use it

astral axle
hazy breach
#

Which is gonna be most of the time when entering dance at full cp

chrome palm
hazy breach
#

But it doesnt really matter if you cancel apex on sectech or not

astral axle
tropic pier
chrome palm
torn tide
astral axle
chrome palm
#

except for tentacle slam never hitting anything its fun

hazy breach
#

But rings ye

tropic pier
#

beats the max ilvl gear in midnight?

#

or just like 200 ilvl stuff

hazy breach
#

200 ilvl stuff

tropic pier
#

is there not a new socket item in midnight?

#

to get 2 sockets on all jewelry

hazy breach
#

Like here, new ring has +10 more stats

#

But -13 from only one socket

hazy breach
#

They just have 1 socket by default, thats it

#

(except last boss from raid, theirs have 2)

visual lark
#

im using blizz default resource bar and my hp + energy gets small like this, any chance to fix it to be bigger? KMS

tropic pier
#

and not make new ones socketable in old gear

hazy breach
#

I mean it doesnt really matter

robust dust
#

"As Trickster: Use Shadowstrike even if you are on full combo points if you have 5 or more stacks of Shadow Techniques up to trigger Ancient Arts. Only during Shadow Dance on low target counts (at maximum 4 targets). " can somone explain it for dumb me? 😄 i dont get it and i dont know how to track the apex talents in my buffs

hazy breach
#

These

robust dust
# hazy breach

tho if i got these and have 5+ stack shadow technique in dance and full combo points i press shadowstrike?

hazy breach
#

No

#

If you dont have those

robust dust
#

ah to trigger those?

#

thanks for explaining ❤️

dim stream
#

!talents

barren haven
#

And do we press shadowstrike until we get it or once?

torn tide
#

yo is there such thing as getting off a triple bp with the apex?

#

idk why sometimes i hear the bp sound thrice in a row

robust dust
torn tide
barren haven
lunar bluff
#

with shadowstrike blasting why dont run rotten

hazy breach
lunar bluff
#

mmmm

hazy breach
#

While i havent doubled checked this in a while, it also didnt apply to the clones

lunar bluff
#

i see

#

if they did i could see rotten weaponmaster blasting out shadow strike dmg

#

shadowstrike dmg HOLY

hazy breach
#

Weaponmaster isnt great either tbh

#

Most of the clone damage is from apex 1

lunar bluff
#

says you!

#

i forget do world quest ilvl scale off warband

swift tinsel
#

kinda surprised they haven't nerfed cloak, still beats those 50ilvl above it

#

almost a full percent behind a 220

gentle patrol
#

Hello, quick question and sorry to bother but...Thistle Tea is not more taken as a Talent? o.o Vigor Too?

swift tinsel
#

nope

#

the energy isn't really a factor for sub during cooldowns

swift tinsel
#

which is where our damage is

warm marlin

for the people.

swift tinsel

had to throw a dono for that one, truly benevolent change

@short radish test

plush roost
ebon trench

thats wild

plush roost
#

Ye and yet, there is still depth

#

Could use an extra button tho freal

#

Goremaws when

ebon trench
#

i think most classes could use a extra button rn

lucid jackal
#

It lost symbols (a button you pressed almost excluislvey just with dance)
rupture (a button that was just like a 2nd copy of slice and dice that we had to manually apply)
and then flag (You literally just pressed this before blades and thats it

odd sandal
#

Yeah, something small just for outside dance

plush roost
ebon trench
#

Let me place clones that attack the closest enemy and copy my abilities

plush roost
#

Bear druids right over there

#

Hehe

warm marlin
#

Pressing rupture outside dance felt miles better than eviscerate

plush roost
#

Yeah the thing of rupture being a dot was that it was like filler builsing towards your burst

warm marlin
#

Or getting to refresh it instead of bping in st if you’re holding coup

plush roost
#

Satisfying to press even tho its just essentially just another finisher

pulsar hemlock
#

About what ilvl do we stop using our manaforge cloak

plush roost
#

Which is why goremaw should guarantee the next 3 finishers do clones regardless of sht consumed

#

Goremaw -> dance go brrr

ebon trench
plush roost
#

Instead of the energy nonsense

ebon trench
#

and they probably have that lined up if we underperform later

plush roost
#

Erm

#

I got baaad news

ebon trench
#

shit

plush roost
#

They dont really work on rogue xd

ebon trench
#

I can tell by how our tier set looks

#

compared to others

plush roost
#

Lowest pop spec no dev no devs wanna come over to work on it

#

Oof

pulsar hemlock
#

no dev no bitches no loot no raid buff no hope

plush roost
#

Best we can hope for is some bug fixes

ebon trench
plush roost
lucid jackal
#

I mean this isn't like

#

Exactly true

#

Remember in tww season 1 midseason they did a small rogue patch, they added supercharger, they removed dust, fixed coup

#

Like idk, its entierly possible they do another patch like that

#

just a small set of cleanup type changes

plush roost
#

Ye ive just been told by someone close to the dev team they arent looking at rogue outside of tuning rn

#

Whether they are ragebaiting me or not

#

Who knows

lucid jackal
#

I mean there might not be anything planned this season/midseason but like

#

Idt its entierly true to say they pay us 0 attention

glass jasper
#

Could someone elaborate this for me?

warm marlin
#

they did fix a lot of bugs

lucid jackal
#

Yeah and we are like, almost entierly bug free atp arent we

plush roost
#

Well

#

Eh

ebon trench
#

if they gave rogue attention maybe they wouldnt be the lowest

lucid jackal
#

Its been the lowest pop class since like, catalysm

plush roost
#

Honestly most of the bugs with sub are in apex huh

ebon trench
#

wonder why tho

plush roost
#

Outlaw has a really dumb supercharger apex bug too lmfao

warm marlin
#

i genuinely care 0 about being lowest pop

ebon trench
#

same i just want another button

#

and a better looking tier set

warm marlin
#

being low pop is good if it means they can introduce more niche mechanics

plush roost
#

Idk we had s2 tww tier set design

So this was actually a post BEFORE cataclysm

#

This was like, tail end of wrath

#

Rogue was 7.4% playrate

#

I also don't think it matters at all how popular or unpopular ur class is

#

But rogue has been unpopular for literal decades

plush roost

Priest being so high is crazy lol

#

Was it good in cata or?

#

Or i guess worlk

lucid jackal

No clue

I was like 7years old xd

Hey guys, do we still do that stuff of using builders when at full CP at 5 stacks of ShT to trigger apex? or do we just send finisher?

alpine wraith

in st yes

#

apexmaxxiing

narrow shadow
#

How much diff is it?

swift tinsel
#

~1.5%

minor osprey
#

what is the reason we send at 6 or more cp and not 5 or more

alpine wraith
#

just math saying strike+finisher at 6+ is better than finisher at 5 then strike

hazy breach
#

Because of shadow techniques

minor osprey
#

yeah i just have leftover fear from assa of overcapping

hazy breach
#

Shadow Techniques cant overcap

#

And thats the absolute vast majority of your combo point generation (like 70%+ on ST)

tulip light
#

are adventure crest relevant in any way or can we just send them insta?

swift tinsel
#

I sent mine on a prey dagger

willow pawn
#

was the delve spam nerfed?

hazy breach
#

They rotate per day

#

So its a different one today

#

Idk how many variants there are but it should be back in like 3 days or something

warm marlin
#

is anyone else getting some weird behaviour with cp and buff stuff

#

i assume its outdoor lag but it wont update sometimes until my cp change

#

like press dance, my bar doesnt start showing until I build/finish then it appears hmmge

cyan saddle
#

I know why, but it feels counterintuitive to me to use shuriken storm in SD.

#

I know it gives more with 3 targets than SS does, but

hazy breach
#

It does 100% more damage during dance

is trickster or deathstalker better rn?
