#

But like even then

lilac stag
#

Done

tribal blade
#

we're now gated by storm CP gen

short radish
#

!up

left ledge
#

Also yeah like scath said

tepid trellis
#

Assa is doing quite good in high keys but will have to wait and see after people are actually geared

left ledge
#

Fix is easy

tepid trellis
#

pretty sure 2 of the specs thats gonna be played is Aug+SP

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

unless they gut SP again

tribal blade
#

but the prio is so good

lilac stag
#

the way nimble worked, it shifts away from BP instantly for stronger cleave.

left ledge
#

Warlock is looking quite strong so idk

lilac stag
#

It really isn’t that difficult

left ledge
#

Unholy is looking op too

little ferry
#

Or casualaddict is coping, but judging of the maisara caverns overall he posted and prio damage I can see assa ending up as an A tier spec

tepid trellis
#

warlock single target is too shit

#

in keys

tribal blade
#

it's too early to call what's meta

left ledge
#

Aug is definitely in

#

Mage is also op

lilac stag
#

sub deathstalkermark soon™ in keys

tribal blade
#

unless they nerf aug yeah

left ledge
#

There are so many op specs

tepid trellis
#

SP is by far the highest dmg in keys

left ledge
#

Just none of them are rogue I fear

tribal blade
#

if SP is OP

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

then it won't be a rogue season

#

for sure

left ledge
#

Wym

#

We will get aoe blind back

tribal blade
#

hahaha

#

WELL PI is actually not bad for sub now

#

so who knows

#

less troll than S2 DF

lilac stag
#

watch them update the tooltip and forget to implement it

tribal blade
#

but nah

#

better to get a mage

#

PI the mage, mage gives SP int

#

aug buffs both

#

win win win

left ledge
#

Frost Mage damage is actually like

#

Stupid

lilac stag
#

pi the hunter

tepid trellis
left ledge
#

And yeah PI for sub doesn’t really do anything

tribal blade
#

OH fucking hell PI is 2 mins

tepid trellis
#

bro if BL is 1.7% dmg

tribal blade
#

i forgot

#

yeah it's shit

lilac stag
#

idk watching pika get it every two minutes. Hahaha

tepid trellis
#

wtf do you think PI is

left ledge
#

Well

#

Probably 0.85

crystal bone
#

sure going back to last season's damage profile would be sick but the problem with that is why even have BP at all then

#

it was just a pad button that i never pressed

#

in 17's

left ledge
#

To aoe?

#

BP was still a good aoe button

lilac stag
#

so tired of pad

left ledge
#

Think the word pad gets thrown around too often these days

#

It’s pad if you don’t need to aoe

#

If you need to aoe it is not pad

lilac stag
#

It’s aoe. Shit still needs to die. And you tune the numbers

tribal blade
#

isn't the vast majority of aoe in the game "pad"

left ledge
#

No

tribal blade
#

there's not many specs that do very high prio

lilac stag
#

The priority cope is funny still to this day

left ledge
#

To pad is like aoe on sennarth

lilac stag
#

I will give up 10% to everything for 2% to a priority

left ledge
#

Or holding to aoe on dragons

#

That’s padding

lilac stag
#

or whatever the numbers lined up to

left ledge
#

But when it’s a pull that has 20 fkin mobs

#

That will destroy your tank soon

#

It is like the opposite of pad

crystal bone
#

when nimble did giga cleave up to 7 targets, u rarely found a use case for BP

#

and there was almost always a prio target

lilac stag
#

BP was also shit

left ledge
#

BP got giga buffed later

#

And became quite good

lilac stag
#

What 3 35% buffs?

left ledge
#

Also sub didn’t really do much prio

#

Your prio was to shadowstrike… but that’s also how you procced escalating

lilac stag
#

the prio was double coup

left ledge
#

Which also did more aoe

#

Our cleave rn is just like

#

So ass it is insane

#

I don’t know what came over them to essentially make the gimmick of trickster so fucking useless

lilac stag
#

they saw outlaw and copied it

#

2x useless things for one class

left ledge
#

Also to be fair

#

Rupture and old RS helped a LOT with cleave

sage hollow
#

signet

left ledge
#

A fight like paladins would’ve been helped quite a bit by rupture

lilac stag
#

rather BP than rupture. ✅

left ledge
#

Not saying I want rupture back

#

But compensation maybe

#

We just did not get compensation for it being removed

lilac stag
#

Not nerfing our cleave by what 25%

left ledge
#

They treated it like it was a useless button

lilac stag
#

would be a good step

left ledge
#

Oh well

gilded ferry
#

i might be having a dumb opinion here but

#

i think they want each spec to have their niche, but, they never seem to get there. so i would prefer if they tried to make at least 1 spec good each tier

left ledge
#

Yeah we just aren’t great anything

vocal torrent
#

how would you feel about 3 mostly bad specs instead

gilded ferry
#

it makes sense to me that ret pallys are good, because well, its one spec of dps. it should be good

left ledge
#

Also the niche thing is kinda false since DF

gilded ferry
#

but we have 3 and they are all shit

vocal torrent
#

who remembers hybrid tax Pepela

gilded ferry
#

this is all because rogue is the least played class of the game

#

why bother

#

lmao

left ledge
#

Rogue has been the least player

#

Played*

#

for a very long time

#

I think it is consistently the least played every expac

crystal bone
#

i tell u what

#

more ppl will play rogue if u give them a raid buff that actually works

gilded ferry
#

thats fotm

void hound
lilac stag
#

this is the most “clearly defined” the three specs have been in some time. Just they all flat out are trash in a raid that isn’t exactly melee friendly and rogue tuning is quite low.

#

also raid buff not a defensive no one gives a shit about

gilded ferry
#

its sad that melee players are way more common than ranged players

#

being a warlock main must be a fuckton cool

#

or a mage

lilac stag
#

warlocks all hate themselves

#

Or destro

#

Not sure which one this tier

gilded ferry
#

so do we, but we do it from the bottom

#

whats the difference

lilac stag
#

nah we hate blizzards lack of real attention

void hound
#

its the same story almost every tier, rogues are wow's battered housewives

red flame
#

its like they think Rogues are only NPC's like Valeera or the animated "coming home" thing they did & that they're not an actual playable class a player can choose haha

#

cant balance or tune whats not in the forethought

keen dome
#

the coming home trailer was so good

#

I want that rogue

void hound
#

the raid looks fun but i want to play none of the classes

red flame
keen dome
#

Someone at Blizz likes us

red flame
#

🙁

keen dome
#

the rogue love in that trailer was wild, it had so many little things

crystal bone
#

the only one

keen dome
#

I don't think Realz was on the animation team

#

Although if he was then damn he's multitalented

crystal bone
exotic steeple
#

watching echo rn they basically cooked weakauras

#

and i need to download 3 addons for basic ui

hazy breach
#

Yeah nothing changed except its more annoying compared to before

exotic steeple
#

99% wont have access to those

#

really weird situation

hazy breach
#

Exactly as expected

tribal blade
#

i imagine they might release it when the RWF is over

hazy breach
#

Has echo had any p4 pulls today

tribal blade
#

yes 1 i saw

#

they died 1 by 1 in P4 till it was only meeres left alive

#

sounds like they had a low dmg P3 just now

#

but they had 1-2 people dead most of that phase

vast dust
#

The state of Rogues and the lack of them everywhere is wild to me having come back in January after being away since 2004 launch - 2008 taking my leave. Always mained a Rogue but we used to be EVERYWHERE. Now I barely ever see them in the cities. We’re like a rare sighting now. It’s wild.

round patrol
#

Hey guys, after recent buffs which spec do you think is the go to for high m+

exotic steeple
#

but in raid bring shame to guild

vast dust
#

I don’t think they’re bad. Plus it doesn’t matter. I will ALWAYS play a Rogue. It’s just wild to see how few of us there are

tribal blade
red flame
# exotic steeple but in raid bring shame to guild

Rogue do low damage (ローグの攻撃はゴミ). same parse as arms war (パース赤、戦士と同じ). Bring shame to guild (ギルドの恥). M+ instant decline. (招待拒否). I stand in city like NPC.

vast dust
#

Compared to the early days. We were everywhere

hazy breach
#

Fwiw rogue has always been unpopular

tribal blade
#

true rogue was incredibly good during vanilla

#

but our numbers have always been low for whatever reason

exotic steeple
#

slowly deleting rogue

red flame
exotic steeple
#

our utils become less relevant

tribal blade
#

getting things taken away/nerfed/etc till we're left in this state

vast dust
exotic steeple
#

u got mage with basically BL, Int buff and better shroud

hazy breach
#

Idk probably just felt like it because you got ganked a lot by them

swift tinsel
#

you see a lot more of them in classic vanilla now bc people are way, way better at min/maxing shit

vast dust
#

I did the ganking

tribal blade
#

stealth was also a very relevant thing to have back then

swift tinsel
#

ye

tribal blade
#

stealth improved your gameplay across so much of the game

#

now in all serious content it's nothing really

swift tinsel
#

nope its just a speed boost between packs for sub now

vast dust
#

I’ll forever remember stealthing Blackrock Spire with my Rogue guild mates for Barmans Shanker

red flame
#

that was my biggest pet peeve of DS assa

tribal blade
#

i'll always remember being taken to BRD runs because i actually lvled up my lockpicking

swift tinsel
#

with that in mind, assassination in big packs feels like omega ass now for bleed spread

tribal blade
#

so people wanted to bring me

red flame
#

locked doors & shi

tribal blade
red flame
#

so fkn cool thematically

exotic steeple
#

imagine if assa had the dk treatment where ur bleeds spread automatically

#

would be nice spec to play

tribal blade
#

the energy bottle neck CT is feels really bad

swift tinsel
exotic steeple
#

but they dont know how to design rogue for nowadays content it feels like

red flame
#

i actually loved having the Key Ring & then rogues w Lockpicking yk

#

removing Keys was a crime

red flame
vast dust
#

Ageee

swift tinsel
#

I really didn't enjoy it

vast dust
#

When I came back I kept looking for my key ring lol

red flame
#

bc any of us could come up w some 10/10 ideas that every rogue would love

#

they just dont gaf to ask or attempt

swift tinsel
#

on like a 5 pull it was pretty nice but once you start getting into 8+ its real stinky

vast dust
#

And was like, where are all the lockboxes to level lock picking?!?!?

exotic steeple
#

its just unhealthy for the game bruh

vast dust
#

And was confused Feint wasn’t for threat meter anymore lol

tribal blade
exotic steeple
#

an mmo with no interest in designing proper classes/specs

red flame
chilly kite
#

safe to assume we get no tuneing once again for sub tomorrow?

keen dome
#

Maybe if the boss dies

vast dust
#

To be fair there are SO many more/new classes to take players away from Rogue now then there were in Classic. So I get it. But there is def a Rogue population drought.

exotic steeple
#

and another 12% to bp

#

but 1 % evis buff hey

#

nah jk but id imagine it so

vast dust
chilly kite
exotic steeple
#

i was kidding bruh

vast dust
exotic steeple
#

xD

chilly kite
#

well i mean they "buffed" outlaw and gave sin a little bit in the right direction.

#

pretty sure that outlaw buff/bug fix is a net loss pretty much isn't it?

#

eleem what dev got hurt so bad by blade flurry that they hate it so much

exotic steeple
#

there are no rogue devs

vast dust
#

Because I would shank if I could still

hazy breach
#

Fwiw if you just ignore paladins rogues are doing fine on logs

#

Its only on the higher end that theyre struggling

#

The lower percentile you go the better rogue gets

foggy estuary
#

Is vessel of tortured souls calculated correct in sims? Sims the lowest in my trinkets but performs the best, how come?🙃

chilly kite
#

our rogue are the highest dps in raid forthe most part, and they are still only bringing one of us to mythic even tho we out perform 95% of the raid

hazy breach
#

You can change the percentages of orbs you pickup in the sim

vast dust
exotic steeple
#

there was a pic somewhere of a sub 100 parse beind lower in dps then devourer i think it was with a 45 parse lol

#

that should never happen

foggy estuary
#

Its a 4/6 hero but sims lower than beloren trinket 6/6 champ, and solarflare prism 6/6. which in theory due to agi both should be better, no?

cursive bear
chilly kite
#

i think we are just bad on paladin no matter what spec

hazy breach
#

I mean yeah just give up on that fight

#

Its just over

#

It is what it is

short aurora
#

a small nimble flurry buff

hazy breach
#

Wont really matter

short aurora
#

with coup cleaving

chilly kite
#

why did they thake nimble out at the knee's that woulda been so good on paladin as it was

swift tinsel
#

precise cuts on nimble and revert evisc/strike removal

#

pls

chilly kite
#

we don't even want buff's we just want our talents reverted to how they were lol

short aurora
#

i do agree

foggy estuary
#

DFA was fun 🥲

chilly kite
#

imagine if shadow clones actually did damage... IMAGINE

hazy breach
#

Imo the issue isn't even that sub is bad on paladins, that's fine

vestal relic
hazy breach
#

Assa and outlaw being bad though

#

That's sus

short aurora
#

im giga mad about the state rogue is in gameplay wise but atleast from that point on it only can get better

#

right?

chilly kite
# hazy breach That's sus

yea i don't understand how assa is bad on that fight, shouldn't it slap. its like perfect for just a bleed cleave spec

bold crane
lilac stag
chilly kite
vestal relic
#

outlaw rn is disfonctionnal and bf nerrf are just a slap in the face

chilly kite
#

meanwhile devourer and mm hunters are what 8-12% above everyone on st and multi. and just left alone

hazy breach
#

I mean they got buffed on paladins

short aurora
#

by what

hazy breach
#

But yeah on bigger AOE it's a slight nerf for some reason

short aurora
#

1%?

#

or whats the value on 3

#

with bf nerf

chilly kite
#

how bad is survival now? are all 3 hunter specs top tier now

vale pine
#

tuning this season feels strange

#

but well

exotic steeple
#

why cant they just like "increase damage dealt on X boss by ...%" lol instead

lilac stag
#

Survival better than all 3 rogue specs. garf_sit

vestal relic
short aurora
chilly kite
#

idk what they did to bm, but our bm hunters are like 10% above the rest of the raid on almost every fight. grantide our range are terrible because rogue are right behind the bm hunters lol

short aurora
#

"increased damage while target is chilled on being invulnerable while being in 10 yard range"

#

i hope they never do such a thing

exotic steeple
hollow spear

#

you would need to use the api, web scrapping or similar iirc

fierce wigeon

hazy breach
#

I was just checking other fights stats, especially on hc rogue looks pretty solid

#

Which im not really sure why that would be the case

crystal bone
#

mythic tends to have more adds that live longer, and longer kill times?

#

idk what other big factors there are

#

but yeah heroic, rogues are blasting

keen dome
#

Maybe there's someone rekilling bosses loads of times

#

just one rogue acting as an outlier

crystal bone
#

well not blasting, but average lol, or slightly above

fleet acorn
#

+14 pos

fair stump
#

Am I just bad or does sub struggle on lightblinded boss?

keen dome
#

It does because we have no good cleave for it.

dry flame
#

I can confirm that sub is not great on the boss

fair stump
#

I was doing mostly good on other bosses, but once I reached lightblinded, my ranking dropped to 5th

keen dome
#

I wouldn't stress too much. It's just really awkward and painful as Sub. Can break shield I guess and livelord it.

#

But we lack the tools to do big dam

fair stump
#

I see

keen dome
#

One thing I do on heroic is just adjusting and STing the highest one because fuck it, may as well

fair stump
#

Yeah, the cleave for 3 adds is painful

fair stump
#

I feel I did way better on council

#

Than paladins

#

Did Liquid bring back sub rogue for L'ura?

leaden sequoia
#

Has anyone managed to do ?? Nul as sub? valeera takes a dirt nap every time I press dance

keen dome
#

Or they did last time I checked.

fair stump
#

As long as you can consistently ress Valeera so she tanks, you can do Nullaeus

#

He's easier compared to Kyveza

swift tinsel
#

I'm a little surprised they didn't swap the rogue for more boss damage

keen dome
#

Boss damage does seem ridiculously high, so I assume Atro has good value?

swift tinsel
#

would be my guess

#

with so many of them being pass/fail though idk

keen dome
#

Yeah I dunno, I don't know the fight well enough / have the brain good enough to figure the precise reason out

swift tinsel
#

was watching gingi pov and he moused over boss dam and uhdk was leading, and liquid mentioned last night about possibly benching rogue for another dk but didn't opt for it

#

or having him switch to sin

sinful zephyr
#

Not sure I heard that correctly but Atro must me quite strong in the last phase, maybe double dipping

swift tinsel
#

would be difficult to bring someone new into a fight this far progged

how you guys track Gaze trinket?

dreamy wedge
#

Hey everyone. I am at 6-7 cp during dance and I need to stun NOW - do I use cheapshot or kidney shot?

swift tinsel
#

kidney

#

CS->builder, kidney->finisher

lilac stag
#

I think they mean more from wasting global + full finisher cps vs wasting global

dreamy wedge
#

^

lilac stag
#

@hazy breach did you math that by chance?

swift tinsel
#

from logs it looks like evisc+sf outdamages strike during dance

#

on avg

#

so higher opportunity cost even with umbral

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

cp don't matter anyways in dance

dreamy wedge
#

It matters for globals.

fossil forge
#

whats a good sub overall looking like rn

#

in like a 16

dreamy wedge
swift tinsel
#

ye

#

from a global efficiency standpoint

#

then you can use a damaging finisher the next global

Thanks.

Omg omg guys i just discovered why they are leaving rogue pretty low

Lura drops the "Fangs of Lu'ra" legendary item, the feature is it automatically talents Lu'ra's Bite, which is an updated Goremaw!!!

i have a feeling that i wont progress voidspire at all

Perfecto top dps in their best try now 😄

I did it folks!

exotic steeple
#

just play like perfecto

#

ez

#

if echo doesnt kill before na reset, its gg

chilly kite
#

how is he top on gingi's meter but nobody else's is that boss damage only

#

or only p4?

hazy breach
#

p4 has a 10x damage amp or something

chilly kite
exotic steeple
#

liquid still sleeping?

#

or they went dark lol

solemn isle
#

I think sleeping

swift tinsel
#

its 8am there

keen dome
#

They went to bed, I think, yeah

solemn isle
#

they better wake up soon or they are in trouble

keen dome
#

Which is probably the smart choice

chilly kite
#

someone prolly woke them up after that last pull

swift tinsel
#

today is the day basically

manic ice
#

didnt they end raid about 6hrs ago?

exotic steeple
#

they better be having breakfast rn

sinful zephyr
#

could still be 100 pulls unstill someone flukes it

solemn isle
#

echo has had a few good p4 pulls in the last hour

#

they are 1 good pull away now

#

unless there is another secret coming, which I doubt

exotic steeple
#

nah then its split time

chilly kite
#

we also don't know if it has to goto 0 it might die at 10%

exotic steeple
#

true true

#

kill could be any pull from now on

#

hope echo wins this man

#

after the dimensius thing

void ocean
#

last pull i tho they got it, seemed rinse and repeat

#

16%

#

wasnt sure what killed em

grave girder
#

enrage

exotic steeple
#

whole room went purple

void ocean
#

oof

exotic steeple
#

and they died

void ocean
#

was it

#

iirc it was quite in light

chilly kite
#

honestly this is echo's race to lose, they have the higher ilvl this time. if it makes it to reset liquid just auto wins so one of them has to kill it today

exotic steeple
#

yup

chilly kite
#

i love it when its both of them pulling side by side like its going to be in like 30 min

fiery fog
solemn isle
#

as I chaos enjoyer I hope there is

#

or bait them, make the boss go back to 1B hp again and then have it just fall over and die

chilly kite
#

i wanna see a surprise xaletos appearence at like 5%

void ocean
#

simultaneously

fiery fog
#

lura dies in secret phase into xalatath phase

void ocean
#

cant they just go to SotT and kill it there, way easier

chilly kite
exotic steeple
#

boss will be unkillable for rest of the season for most guilds still even after nerfs lmao

#

without those addons

fiery fog
#

i think some addon packs already have those in

chilly kite
#

after rwf this boss is getting taken out at the knees we all know that

fiery fog
#

at least some of them

solemn isle
#

it will get neutered

#

always does

hazy breach
#

The "neutered" version is still gonna be like 200+ pulls for most guilds

fiery fog
#

better than 1k+

void ocean
#

memory game reduced to 1 sign 😄

solemn isle
#

oh it will still be hard for sure, but it wont be this

fiery fog
#

at least sub seems to be good on that fight

chilly kite
#

they should leave it like this until 10 guilds do it

fiery fog
#

so we wont be benched at last

void ocean
#

define good

swift tinsel
#

remove one glaive, constellation spawns are way less aids

void ocean
#

at no point it showed on top 8

chilly kite
#

i've watched 300+ pulls and i still don't understand what determines the constelation pattern

exotic steeple
fiery fog
#

just saw that after a wipe (didnt see the fight though)

void ocean
#

arent orbs spawning where players stand

hazy breach
#

Yeah because hes alive the longest in p4 when they have a 1000% damage boost

chilly kite
#

P4 dmg amp phase

fiery fog
#

living 5 seconds longer can make the difference

void ocean
#

in gym terms this would be "all you, bro"

fiery fog
#

bring in all the rogues

hazy breach
#

Liquid were discussing swapping out their rogue

chilly kite
#

he just lived the longest prolly with cloak lol

hazy breach
#

But decided not to because its too much reprogress

#

But its obviously not paladins, so its not like sub is unplayable

fiery fog
#

lets just say its not the worst

swift tinsel
#

yea, just unfortunately the most droppable class atm

fiery fog
#

and non rwf guild dont have 3+ of each class

swift tinsel
#

bc of how much others bring

#

and if they swap him to sin they gain execute but lose sub burst during omega amp

fiery fog
#

it was yesterday where i found out atrophic only lasts 10 seconds

#

which in turn makes it comepletely useless on bosses that walk out (like on paladins)

If youre thinking "hmm why are they giving me the numbers in rating and not percentages?" its because some people play races like nelf/goblin which give 1% additional haste, but that doesnt work for shadow dance duration

#

!haste

wicked joltBOT
#

Secret Technique cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dance only from haste which increases your baseline haste. When using a haste trinket, make sure to use it before Shadow Dance to get the extended duraiton.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.

Im not saying it is

swift tinsel

its free damage on good-statted rings

dry flame
#

its just exact stats to fix my haste and get a lot more mastery, that's why i was thinking

swift tinsel
#

same with cosmos neck

#

the proc is butts but the stats are good

dry flame
#

ill see if i get it in vault and decide probably

hazy breach
#

Lura neck probably better, but thats a bit rough to get garf_sit

dry flame

didnt drop just now

chilly kite
#

this is whati 'm sitting at with a verse neck because bad rng on pitt

hazy breach
#

The training ground ones

#

Gives guaranteed hc neck with mastery+haste

#

after 8 bg wins (can do against bots, which makes it very easy)

light finch

if i recraft neck, it'll put me at 633 haste, and even with gem swaps, im still under 684

this is the pvp neck for the quests

i also have these, which definitely don't help

Wish wow had more of those these days, people like those in classic

i crit the rng on vaults and got hgaze week 1 and mythic box week 2 lol

then it took 34 runs to get hero ommision of light

light finch

neck from last boss of voidspire is pretty nice, im using the champion version of it

dry flame

my crafted sims higher, so i don't have a reason to farm crown anymore

but its good yeah

chilly kite

idk can't go wrong with free damage

dry flame
#

so much haste this season, almost everything has haste

#

looking at the M+ table

hazy breach
#

Yeah but that doesnt require much grinding, and its mostly quests

stone vessel
#

my crit is super low like <300 lol

chilly kite
#

yea crit was hard to get

hazy breach
#

Like if you needed 15 renown or something but the void dungeons/delves also gave rep, thats the type of stuff im talking about

#

But clearly theyve been moving away from that

swift tinsel
#

bring back tabard rep grinding

hazy breach
#

Idk

swift tinsel
#

from dungeons

dry flame
#

@hazy breach you are right tho, i can keep rings and hopefully get Seat pants in vault, then slap some haste gems and im perfect

chilly kite

i'm hoping on reset for hero neck off crown

I agree though I miss having a longer-term grind that isn't just farming the same key(s) over again

our guild is taking its time to get into mythic for some reason, so havn't got any mythic kills yet

we finally start mythic next week

we did a bunch of extra normal clears for tier for folks which took away a lot of time in heroic

and for a 4-hour-a-week guild it was stinky

we only raid like 5-6 hours a week.

swift tinsel

ye we do 2 hours tues/thurs

chilly kite
swift tinsel

long time ago we had a third night but it was hard to find one that everyone could make

We moved normal to optional Saturday last week.

We move heroic to optional Saturday this reset.

swift tinsel
#

we have a lot of dads in the guild so its hard to get all 20

chilly kite

i think our average age in guild has to be mid to late 30's

swift tinsel
#

yeah we do optional heroic sunday alt clears now

#

which are usually the most fun night lol

chilly kite
#

so everyone has full time jobs/family's so finding 2 nights was hard enough

swift tinsel
#

yeah we're mostly mid-late 30s+

#

most of them have kids

chilly kite

i feel like our generation is just the mmo generation lol

swift tinsel

yeah we grew up with all them lol

kids these days don't understand the 56k modem ragnaros kills

plus a lot of the ones I know around my age (36) grew up with WC3

and playing WoW was the natural extension of that

What's the opinion now, is assa better than sub in m+ (high keys)?

yep, and all the greats like everquest, myst, city of heroes, aion, tera. i'm sure a bunch of others i missed

City of heroes, my beloved

WoW had its impact because of timing too. Before social media, it WAS a social media.
WoW is a 9-course meal, that satisfied you on several fronts. But nowadays, we are "snacking" all the time, so nobody needs a 9-course meal

My first MMO. Where I mained a Rogu- I mean a Burglar.

i think mmos just had more passion behind them

thats all

current mmos just feel like soulless slop with the sole purpose of making you grind 24/7

the mines of moria expansion was legit one of the best MMO expansions ever. Just insanely competitive to WOW design

# keen dome My first MMO. Where I mained a Rogu- I mean a Burglar.

coh i mained a instant healing martial arts scrapper, and brought the servers down because i was tired of people asking for power lvling so i used phase shift to drag all of the lvl 50 monsters to the entrance of the lvl 40 zone max lvl was 40 on launch i forgot about that.

idk i'm slamming kidney all the time into prio mobs

just to give it back half a patch later

i don't even have cheap shot bound to a bar lmao

Why can’t we just aoe kidney permanently

we were about to get aoe kidney

but blizz didnt tune it properly

and people cried that it was too op

so they removed it

and gave us aoe blind

they couldve tuned kidney to be like a 4 sec aoe stun at max cp

wouldve made rogue insane in m+

but now we get scuffed DB

shit ig im just a team player then fr

dusky yacht

M+ isn’t about doing dps it’s about control, slow is smooth, smooth is fast

its about both

you need to do dps

and have a couple buttons that just stop the pack

dusky yacht

That’s what I mean tho

left ledge

control is so fake

shrewd lantern

rogue stuns in keys are kind of low value

you just focus kick a target and do aoe stops

You are already doing dps no matter what

since group already used sweep or nova

Welcome to rogue

want to stun? - dmg loss
want to blind? - no aoe allowed
want to defensive? - dmg loss

swift tinsel
#

but people dr it so fast

left ledge
#

that also replaces our only free single target stop

swift tinsel
#

seeing an insta-HoJ and then a half kidney feels bad

left ledge
#

you have one or two big pulls that need a bunch of aoe stops

dusky yacht
left ledge
#

and if one class cant fulfill that role

it will struggle

its also IF blizzard doesn't decide to revert it saying blind aoe is too strong

aoe blind is too strong its basically dragon's breath but garbage!

then you just disengage the yoink

yeah I don't really dps if its a hunter or monk

dusky yacht
#

I’ve solo carried keys on rogue using my stuns, I’m still doing top or 2nd dps, we don’t wipe and we time it

#

Where is the problem

swift tinsel
#

since they can transcend

#

lock port too iirc

left ledge
#

there's no problem there man

#

its just single target stuns are pretty low value in push keys

dusky yacht
#

Ok

left ledge
#

you typically are pulling massive packs

#

and need aoe stops

#

and because aoe stops dont actually STOP the cast

lilac stag
#

pulls are limited by stops

left ledge
#

they just postpone it

#

now you really fucking need a lot of aoe stops

lilac stag
#

thanks Obama

left ledge

again, not sure why they didnt just tune aoe kidney

swift tinsel

and you straight up lost a kick too from healer

yep

i still want to know who was the guy that was like, every class gets an aoe stop. except rogue, fuck them they don't deserve it.

does rshaman still have their kick?

Light Company Guidon (haste on use) Optimization:
When? - Only with the Season 1 4-set bonus and Guidon.
How? - During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back.
Why? - This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.

hazy breach

You shouldnt either

your average heroic raider cares more about 0.2% dps gains

than rwf players

idk all i know is araz felt terrible post turbo

in m+ last season you had to think about if you send your shadowdance or not and what to do with cooldowns, now its just send it, you always have atleast 1 shadowdance ready and only 1 cooldown

shrewd lantern

You just sent your cds last season if you got value

out of them

only real thought was if you played prism antenna

if you send prism stacks

iron whale
#

speaking really hypotethical and I am not a game designer whatsoever, but I thought up of some sort of "rework" for Shuriken Storm and Black Powder because both visual and gameplay loop feel so BORING that in terms of readability you can't even identify or feel the build-up and frankly both abilities just feel like fillers despite being the core AoE engine

Shuriken Storm New: Shadow Rush
25 energy, instant

Summon Shadow Clones to dart through nearby enemies, striking up to 8 targets within 10 yards, dealing Shadow damage and generating 1 combo point per target hit.

Applies Umbral Mark to each enemy struck.

While Shadow Dance is active, Shadow Rush strikes 1 additional time and prioritizes unmarked targets.

Black Powder New: Umbral Execution
finishing move
20 energy

Unleash the shadows bound to your enemies, causing all targets affected by Umbral Mark within 10 yards to detonate, dealing Shadow damage per combo point spent.

Damage is increased based on the number of marked targets, with reduced effectiveness beyond 8 targets.

Consumes all Umbral Marks.
