tribal blade
#

honestly 2-3 key levels below title

#

is pretty chill

#

i can do that

hollow spear
#

stabbing me in the back with this one

keen dome
#

It does tell me they intend M+ to remain with this sorta difficulty curve though

tribal blade
#

what was 1% last season

hazy breach
#

Not really as they explicitly said they would adjust it

tribal blade
#

3515

#

oh it's actually a joke

#

nvm

#

that's 400 points below cutoff

keen dome
#

Yeah

keen dome
fair phoenix
tribal blade
fair phoenix
#

ah, gotcha

tribal blade
#

significantly more

keen dome
#

EU is hardmode

#

lmao

shy ermine
#

is the 1100 haste recommendation with or without guidon, or does it not matter?

tribal blade
keen dome
#

Damn, Korea gaming

tribal blade
#

taiwan identical to korea

#

oh so is china

#

all 3 asian regions are the same lol

green blade
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

they're gaming

tribal blade
#

well NA gonna be the easiest to hit by a mile, good for me

#

this will inevitably drive up title

keen dome
#

Oh no

#

You know what else it's gonna do?

#

Turbocharge resilient boosting

tribal blade
#

so on top of resil key inflation we'll have people trying to hit 1% inflation

#

title pushing is about to become hella hard

keen dome
#

But it's going to get more people playing keys above 3k though

#

Which is extremely good imho

tribal blade
#

and key sellers about to become hella rich

keen dome
#

I'm actively going to push for 3.4k

keen dome
tribal blade
wild vine
tribal blade
#

but wait, why is there a diff between 3400 and 1%

keen dome
#

Because 3.4k is set

obsidian crag
#

its good that they added 3.4k reward, better than nothing i guess

tribal blade
#

when they're actually so close to each other

keen dome
#

and 1% is moving

tribal blade
#

mm true

keen dome
#

And the dif between it on difficulty is probably not unsubstanial

tribal blade
#

it was only 100 points diff last season

#

oh nvm just for NA

#

for asian regions it was 250 diff

#

eu was 200 diff

keen dome
#

100 points isn't a lot but I imagine the key difficulty between them is substanial enough

tribal blade
#

100 points is basically 1 key level up

#

which is significant

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

so last season i stopped pushing halfway when turboboost started

#

and hit 3600

#

which is 100 points over 1% on NA

feral bramble
#

Is Emberwing Feather considered a good trinket ? wowhead guide say to consider it as a 3mn cd bcause you have to use it before you cd's. Currently having it in myth ilvl in weekly chest.

tribal blade
#

ok i'm not worried lol

#

the hardest part will be actually playing with competent people

tribal blade
#

i might just ask key friends to tag me in to help them push up keys or something

feral bramble
wild vine
tribal blade
feral bramble
#

also do you agree with the 3mn part ? i don't get why you wouldnt use it every 2mn, and then use you shadow blades after 2mn and 2 sec ?

tribal blade
#

i've played with the crowd who exist several hundred score below cutoff

#

it's the special olympics

#

pretty bad

wild vine
#

So you dont wanna hold it

lilac stag
feral bramble
#

ah yeah it's 90sec not 2mn

#

obvious

#

thanks for answer mates

wild vine
#

Aug is kinda fun

#

Dev aswell ig

#

Probably the most fun of the caster bunch

red flame
keen dome
#

Same

tribal blade
#

is there anything to buy if you already have every mount from M+?

#

oh actually i didn't play some bfa seasons

#

because they nuked sub and i quit in protest heehee

hollow spear
#

and now you betray us every opportunity you get

tribal blade
#

nah just for paladins 😉

wild vine
#

Ew

tribal blade
#

because not playing sin on paladins is a choice of all time

wild vine
#

Id rather be a buffdragon than any paladin

#

Oh thats what you meant

tribal blade
#

lol yeah

wild vine
tribal blade
#

if you think i'm gonna touch disgusting ret

#

you're mistaken

#

one of my guildies i do keys with is arms and he's an insane parser

#

gonna rope him into doing more keys

#

from the little pushing i've done this season the key levels i've been doing aren't hard at all, it's the players in them playing horribly that's the hard part

hollow spear
#

How much worse is DS's cleave actually than what we have on Trickster?

#

It feels kinda ass on Trickster already

tribal blade
#

no idea tbh

hollow spear
#

Correction: it is kinda ass

lean bone
#

could someone point out again to strings that make simcraft want to achieve 700 haste?

plush roost
#

Strong ST, dont recommend on chinerus kekw

#

I like it personally others hate it

hollow spear
#

I mean, you could just stick to the boss on Chimaerus and show the assa boss loggers what's up

tribal blade
#

can't wait for the yo yo swing when blizz fixes our cleave again somehow

hollow spear
#

Maybe we can help our brothers out and stop being padders

spare oar
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
tribal blade
#

gonna be like next expac beta fixing

lilac stag
#

we hit the point in prog where major upgrades for the rogue (me) are going to boomkins as a minor upgrade. Me in LC: nope. Give it to them.

#

this class is just dog shit in raid

fair phoenix
tribal blade
hollow plinth
lilac stag
#

The oils and such still added or no? When I looked at it the report still had total over.

opal basalt
hollow plinth
#

so if you top gear with that setting, i imagine it will remove your haste gear, cause you already forced the haste elsewhere

opal basalt
#

nevermind then

lilac stag
#

It’s not useful for top gear. I was just looking for when drop offs hit

sweet moss
#

we still using arcane mastery on off hand weap?

lilac stag
sweet moss
#

how can i drop 50 ish haste

opal basalt
#

okay idk if i'm worrying too much rn but those three sets (given i swapped the mast/haste gems to haste/mast gems) are my best ones rn (with mastery flask in sim)

sweet moss
#

actually can swap ring

opal basalt
#

i'd play the one with 695 haste right?

plush roost
sweet moss
#

'NOT have guidon already its probably a good idea to aim for ~800 haste as Trickster rather than 700, because the 800 allows you to fit a second Secret Technique inside of your shadow blades (as sectech clones hit 0.6/1.2 seconds after you press the button). Similarly to how we currently play with guidon you would hold the second Dance until the last 8 seconds of Blades and then cast the Secret Technique without supercharger.'

#

i swear its extrememly hard to fit it in

#

the blades

tropic field
#

how much haste is needed if i have a mythic guidon?

sweet moss
#

that just normal?

#

700^

tropic field
#

okey cuz i have 676 atm but according to crafting sim crit/mastery is my best option

sweet moss
#

still 700

tropic field
#

on neck when i have the pvp hero neck

#

okey

candid prawn
sweet moss
#

no guidon = 800

#

guidon = 700

#

im sure new about wing actually

#

possibly is 700 aswell

#

!guidon

wicked joltBOT
#

Trickster Shadow Blades Optimization:
During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back. This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.

tropic field
#

this is with haste/master can anyone explain why 285 dagger gives 0.2% dps over a Hero dagger?

obsidian crag
#

how do i set up haste to 800 om simc?

warm marlin
tropic field
#

aah okey

#

so i should probably craft boots then since neck is easier to get a hold on?

warm marlin
#

both seem like fine choices

sweet moss
#

why does wow head not suggest using sharpening stone on main hand

wintry heart
#

Because haste stonks ↗️

sweet moss
#

wym

#

as in now we just need more stats

#

but what if im already hitting 800 haste

#

should drop some haste somewhere and use oil?

lilac stag
sweet moss
#

i need to know if sharpenign stone is bait

#

so its better but will probs be fixed

#

pmuch?

lilac stag
#

You can math it out

#

What is the 1% Rio cut-off today?

outer geyser
#

are puzzle box and guidon usable together or is there a cd?

lilac stag
#

On Use Trinkets (with a few exceptions) have a 20-30 second gcd

outer geyser
#

yea im asking if it is the exception

sharp ravine
#

No exception

swift tinsel
ionic ingot
#

the black bars proc is coup de grace right? any reason it’s not showing up for me? i have spell opacity set to 100 as well. perhaps an add-on issue?

warm marlin
quaint breach
# swift tinsel

Umbral champion is per class and not Rio only? 😯 So max ~147 sub rogues qualify for title?

keen dome
#

Pretty sure it won't fire until the end of the season, same as title?

lilac stag
#

any info it would generate is listed in the 📌

tight roost
lilac stag
#

Yes. Grim Jest is tier items

swift tinsel
thin sinew
#

Where is everyones crit sort of settling around?

swift tinsel
#

iirc like 23%

torn tide
#

yo what items are yall crafting after ur 2nd crafted?

vale warren
#

Is there a way in the logs to check if i optimized the apex talent correctly?

thin sinew
swift tinsel
#

ah I don't really pay attention to stats besides haste when I'm looking at gear

crystal comet
thin sinew
#

i'm usually the same but i got plume from vault and it just seems to have skewed things

swift tinsel
#

have about 1k mastery and 695 haste with oils so I'm chillin

manic ice
#

is 1100 haste even possible without the neck from alleria?

pulsar hemlock
#

Also is the apex talent, not coup

keen dome
#

damn, Gaze can drop off the boss!

radiant swift
#

!log

swift tinsel
#

did ya win it, son?

keen dome
#

lmao no

swift tinsel
#

ouchies lmao

#

myth?

keen dome
#

yeah

#

But it can drop

#

And rekill was easy at least, 6 pulls over 2 groups

swift tinsel
#

noice noice

#

I'm hoping we at least try it next week

keen dome
#

I think you can do it

swift tinsel
#

if not I might look into pugging

keen dome
#

Getting into a good pug is the hardest part

#

But once you've killed it, you can get into the good groups

swift tinsel
#

yeah, I've mostly avoided the pug raid scene for the last few xpacs

keen dome
#

I can give you some general tips if you get to doing it

swift tinsel
#

so I don't really have any connections in it anymore

swift tinsel
keen dome
#

I'm sure it's different in the US but there's some obvious red flags, easy ways to improve a groups chances, etc

#

My vault is set for next weds at least

swift tinsel
#

I'll be interested to see how far we get tomorrow, starting myth imperator

keen dome
#

I believe in a kill

swift tinsel
#

haven't looked into difference between hc and mythic on any of the raid yet so I gotta do that lol

keen dome
#

It's very very minor on Imperator

swift tinsel
#

last night was very rough finishing spire hc

keen dome
#

And actually feels like the complete fight

swift tinsel
#

thats good, they've all definitely felt a bit incomplete up til now

#

with the exception of crown

keen dome
#

I really like the change to his spike mechanic

swift tinsel
#

which we won't get to

copper trail
#

Is there an upper limit on haste for sub? is there a certain threshold where it is wasting stat points?

crisp jetty
#

is there something wrong with raidbots? a myth track tier helmet is simming worse than my hero track tier helmet...

swift tinsel
#

link sim

finite hedge
#

Socket

swift tinsel
#

socket and its only 1/6 myth vs 3/6 hero

quaint breach
#

So ~3400 appears to qualify for umbral champion too, as of today

crisp jetty
#

indeed, I missed the socket! Thanks folks

golden totem
swift tinsel
#

I'm sure it'll inflate when pt.2 of the voidcore thing launches

keen dome
#

I'm now above average

sage meteor
#

Is there a way i can sim my character with the condition, that i want at least 800 haste (consumables included)?

grizzled cosmos
#

Still new to the spec, but I’m figuring it out. Thank you for all the tips and help.

sage meteor
#

thanks

1100 haste HOLY

#

Memestalker continues to stun and amaze

alpine wraith
#

never understimate the power of

#

just more evis

#

oh and strike

#

the DS ones hit harder

warm marlin
#

I didn't realize one of my gearsets was still active and played a night of alleria with a champ track helmet on instead of my 289 one garf

alpine wraith
#

aaay

#

im on paladins

#

so no DS meme ye

#

but maybe i try it on alleria

fair phoenix
#

day 21 is 12.0.5 right?

warm marlin
#

I think next week DS will be the move on alleria

alpine wraith
#

yea

fair phoenix
#

uncaped crests? pls bliz?

#

lol

alpine wraith
#

isnt DS only not decent on p2 or you think it is still mid

#

vs trickster

fair phoenix
#

i have like 3 or 4 itens mythic and cannot upgrade

alpine wraith
#

look at this man

warm marlin
#

the fight is basically pure st

#

the entire way through

alpine wraith
#

yea first meme adds then you just tunnel 1 right

warm marlin
#

the only exception is if you call to help with p3 add sets

alpine wraith
#

help as DS kekw

warm marlin
#

which is usually only the second set

alpine wraith
#

IM GOING FRIENDS

warm marlin
#

they actually die so its nbd

alpine wraith
#

shuriken toss

warm marlin
#

you get DN back

we have a thread for the poor gazeless homies?

lilac stag
#

You will use your champion renown trinket and enjoy it! right @warm marlin ? #oneofus

alpine wraith
#

you can always use a krangled ass mythic track trink from vault

#

if you are down bad

#

you only need it to be like 682 to be better than crucible most of the time

#

kekw

lilac stag
#

Imagine having to take a krangled trinket from vault

graceful rock
#

how long are dances and whats the sec tech cd with 1100 haste

hazy breach
#

9 globals and ~20s

warm marlin
#

i am very happy!

lilac stag
#

@alpine wraith though I am debating on crafting bracers over upgrading myth track tier for the haste bump and DS future

warm marlin
#

i take 3 m+ vaults this tier with multiple raid vault slots at 279

#

yes yes very good

#

renown trinket still equipped

#

and im a yellow class

#

go next tier perhaps?

lilac stag
#

that seems like a very logical sub rogue timeline

alpine wraith
warm marlin
#

aint no way

alpine wraith
#

then i can do the switcheroo

swift tinsel
#

it'll be some weird gimmicky 1.5min on-use

alpine wraith
#

maybe they unmeme the flask

swift tinsel
#

after they crater guidon

alpine wraith
#

to not have half the stats of an on use

#

remember the 1:30 crit one

lilac stag
dense geode
swift tinsel
#

our havoc yoinked the hc alleria neck

#

heard they sure do love haste

lilac stag
#

ours went to a Hunter. sadly even upgrade, they’ll do more with it.

alpine wraith
#

ours went to a ret paladin

#

weirdly enough

swift tinsel
#

they were the only one to roll against me on a reserve roll

lilac stag
#

maybe this week my 1400 dps uppy matters from heroic gear

swift tinsel
#

so otherwise it would have gone to me uncontested

#

to replace my champ one

alpine wraith
#

this week surely i get dagger from vorasius

#

if not i have to take from vault

swift tinsel
#

if myth dagger drops tomorrow our sv will yoink it again

#

like they did with the first normal and hc one

lilac stag
#

Our hunter crafted a dagger.

swift tinsel
#

so did he lol

lilac stag
#

I was shocked.

warm marlin
lilac stag
#

The SV cope is real

warm marlin
#

genuinely

swift tinsel
#

he's got a crafted dagger and 2h

#

hunters be huntin man

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

that class certainly is a meme through and through

lilac stag
#

something something MM being gutted next week

fickle garnet
#

Maybe stupid question but does being goblin/gnome alter haste breakpoints?

swift tinsel
#

nah blizz balance is perfect no notes

lilac stag
#

meanwhile I’m here like, imagine being good enough to get gutted and still be above all three of my dps choices

swift tinsel
#

they were adding more tuning to it the other day so its possible but I would be quite surprised

#

like really really surprised

lilac stag
#

Ive just given up on trusting anything coming out of hunters and DKs mouths

swift tinsel
#

nope lmao

#

though I might be blessed to hear it less since the one in guild that is problematic might be seeing themselves out soon

#

hunter, that is

lilac stag
#

I love SV but there’s a reason I won’t run a hunter in prog

random mason

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
muted frigate
#

do we have an overview for rogue changes in 12.0.5?

alpine wraith
#

being a human does alter haste breakpoints tho!

#

you need less from gear

#

not by a lot but hey

#

our only change is on trickster

swift tinsel
#

by s3 it'll be a little bit more than not by a lot!

alpine wraith
#

the cloud cover it is almost same overall but more bursty

#

so maybe we have a better role sometimes

#

still shite st so who knows

keen dome
#

I think that's it

alpine wraith
#

ah true aoe blind

nah we're gonna get so many insane banger tuning notes on friday

nah bp is fine

fix apex clones with potent powderrrrrrr

make sectech full benefit from apexxxxxxx

swift tinsel
#

add Precise Cuts to nimbleeeee

pad cuts

swift tinsel
#

hi yes I would like something that would objectively improve our low-target cleave ty

golden totem
#

i've read some ppl in here sim with double whetsone to emulate the haste breakpoint of robot vs human, is it a meme or do you guys use it to sim top gear and stuff ?

swift tinsel
#

make it a class talent blizz you wont

#

so it affects causting and bf

swift tinsel
#

tack nimble and mass casualty on it

golden totem
#

havent seen that ty

fading whale
#

im getting sick of frist dance btw

golden totem
#

not a meme then

alpine wraith
#

yea it is not a meme

sharp sapphire
#

first dance could be nice if vanish could trigger it. Staying out of combat or using vanish increases your next shadow dance for 3 secs or something like that. but as it is now I cant see much value in the talent

fading whale
#

just aids

#

if they fixed combat tho

#

but stealth being useless as it is nah

stuck dune
#

Hey guys if you’re going into your second dance on aoe and when it comes up you have an apex proc do you BP first then send the dance/ST or send it with the apex up

@vale pine Sorry to tag you, its just I know youre probably the most well placed to know this
I was curious why is Platinum star band and Bifurcation Band our bis Ring?
And not the 2 ring from Nexus-Point that has a 2/2 Equip Effect for free?

I understand the stats it give is both haste, which we dont want to cap,
But why not priotize the 2ring effect, then try to build our gear in function of the stat were missing?
I feel like it would synergize well with Eternal Voidsong Chain aswell,
Let me know if im completely off the chart or if its possible it might be slightly true

#

My gear ATM

tulip light
coral bear
#

But, with the new Reroll system with the confirmed item thingy coming next week

#

its possible

keen dome
#

BiS lists are a theoretical maximum sim of the best possible combo that also requires every other piece. They aren't really something to aim for, imho.

keen dome
#

You need every single piece on it.

viscid kraken
coral bear
#

I see, just a general idea to follow,
But following that theory, woudnlt it mean that, they simmed the best possibility for the 2 nexus ring passive, and it came out that even that, wasnt max DPS?

#

Im finding this hard to believe since they deadass just have a free damage passive

#

That synergizes with the neck

#

How would I test this?

Is there a way to do like a Sim, of a theoritical gear?

I know theres gear compare but, Is there a way to know my stat weight of a fake character wearing fake gear and then simming it?

upper crypt
coral bear
#

BOTH GOATED

viscid kraken
#

Yeah unsure what to pick tbf

limber folio
coral bear
#

damm both are goated

viscid kraken
#

I only have gaze

#

dont have flag

coral bear
#

If u wanna stay Sub Band is really good

#

if u multi-spec

#

PuzzleBox goated

#

For SIN too

viscid kraken
#

Yeah don't rly play sin

#

was wondering if i should pick beloren heroic tho

#

since i'm low mast the vanguard ring doesnt seem bad either

coral bear
#

So id like, make a gear compare, following Fuu original BIS, then id make iterations of my own, and see if it out DPS?

viscid kraken
#

Yeah idk, double active isn't simming correctly atm

#

so kind've unclear for trinket diff

upper crypt
swift tinsel
#

lol didn't realize rogue was the lowest m+ class represented by a whole 2%

coral bear
swift tinsel
#

oof

upper crypt
#

Im on mobile atm but i believe he puts all the gear in the sim

wicked joltBOT
upper crypt
#

His sim is on there

coral bear
#

ur the goat zach

upper crypt
#

Haha np enjoy the testing

coral bear
#

amma pfp match with u just cause of that

upper crypt
#

Hella tough

coral bear
#

frl frl

#

If im understanding you proprelly Zach,
this has the BEST DPS SIM, SIMMED

#

Like, he tested every variations

#

and this SIM is the most theoritical TOP DPS u can get?

#

Fuck Fuu is here

upper crypt
#

there he is LOL

vale pine
coral bear
#

I see

vale pine
coral bear
#

So im just overthinking it

vale pine
#

so will change soon™

limber folio
#

my fucking guildie picked up the neck for "crest save" he says

#

wtf is this

viscid kraken
upper crypt
#

yeah, the synergy you mentioned with alleria neck isnt as important as it sounds, i believe we are proccing it asap regardless of having that ring effect

coral bear
vale pine
amber sedge
#

winner :D

upper crypt
#

we do a lot of shadow damage

vale pine
#

there is a text file in #tc-research pinned with all season items

#

you just need to copy/paste it

coral bear
#

GOATED

#

had no idea

vale pine
#

for the neck effect

coral bear
#

THank you Zach again, and fuu!

vale pine
#

subtlety saturates it well without extra items

coral bear
#

Any predictions on the re-sim ?

#

for the date

#

id like to take a look to it as ssoon as its out

dusky yacht
#

Can Rogue be normal please I beg

vale pine
#

i mean, the ring set is still not bad

#

so, if it sims better for your gear profile

#

use it

dusky yacht
#

It's cause I got myth occlusion and the set would give me haste breakpoint, sims like 2% higher unbuffed

#

Prolly cause my items don't perfectly line up with the bis list obviously

#

And the fact that the ring I have is myth, I've simmed the alternatives, I actually do have the bis list rings

#

So yeah

#

It was just funny cause he screenshotted your guide and I'm like bro I'm on the server and can ping them if I need to about it, trust me I know what I'm doing lmao

pliant pendant
#

dose hero give deminishingreturn on haste ?

#

Hero is % iirc, so no.

i would sim but ring is probably better

clear aspen
#

how do you sim crest upgrade? just do multiple sims with different upgrade levels to the items?

#

so one sim with a 276 cloak and one with a 276 ring

warm marlin
#

ye top gear with however many crests you have

#

if you can only afford sending one to 276 it will do them separately

dusky yacht
#

Guys are we so back?

#

Ngl the cloud cover thing does seem good

#

Stacking up to 2 additional times

swift tinsel
#

competing with 10% crit chance on finishers

steel zinc
dusky yacht
#

I mean if it stacks the % damage increase isn't it just better?

sullen hare
#

garf see you guys in a couple of patches

dusky yacht
#

Or is that not how it's gonna work

sullen hare
#

First of all you're assuming it'll work at all

dusky yacht
#

My bad

steel zinc
swift tinsel
#

10% additional damage taken for 20 sec every 1.5mins or 10% finisher crit chance during dance

steel zinc
#

10 sec is way to low to actually be worth

dusky yacht
#

Right yeah like that it makes sense

swift tinsel
#

whole 22% uptime

steel zinc
#

It's better what we have now

dusky yacht
#

I was hopemaxxing

steel zinc
#

But now we have a talent we never used

sullen hare
#

Feelycraft tells me that it's not worth the tradeoff and they sent us yet another under baked FRICTION-compliant bullshit talent that we didn't ask for our even want

swift tinsel
#

idk maybe its good in really really big aoe

sullen hare
#

That's what I'm expecting. It's probably good in 12 keys at 15+ targets or some dumb bullshit

swift tinsel
#

forgot Hoodwink, 16% additional damage instead of 10%

#

but still

dusky yacht
#

I mean it would give us way more burst in blades window

swift tinsel
#

so would making blades cause all our damage to be shadow

#

so its not mitigated by armor

#

and then they can make shadowed finishers cool

#

since that's basically what that does but only to evisc/bp

#

still think Dance should do that baseline and then blades can amp it more

#

than it does

north schooner
#

shadow-er blades

dusky yacht
#

But also it would give us another annoying button to press along with guidon

#

QoL the 10% crit is way better already

#

Lmao

swift tinsel
#

wym extra button

#

its auto-cast on blades

dusky yacht
#

Oh wait what

#

It does

swift tinsel
#

yes

dusky yacht
#

Well then I don't know anymore man lmao

swift tinsel
#

its an interesting idea fs

#

but its just competing with a very strong node

keen dome
#

It just makes Blades an AoE buff zone, will be interesting to see if we swap to it in keys or something

#

Or on like, big aoe fights

dusky yacht
#

Yeah couldn't they just .. Put it somewhere else or something

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's the only real time I could see it being a boon

keen dome
#

10% crit all the time OR the extra aoE on blades

swift tinsel
#

if it was on dance that would be giga

dusky yacht
#

Holy shit yeah that would be insane

keen dome
#

I'm just gonna wait and see what Fuu and Eleem figure out 'cos they're way smarter than me.

dusky yacht
#

We wait.

swift tinsel
#

idk maybe in higher gear when crit chance is less impactful

#

but that's a bigger maybe

#

could see it being good in later xpac

#

since you can grant every mob +24% damage taken

#

for 20 sec

dusky yacht
#

Wait but it says 2 addtional times, doesn't that mean 3 stacks of it?

swift tinsel
#

yes

#

8% x 3

#

since its 5% baseline and +3% with Hoodwink

shrewd lantern
#

at best it might be good in pvp

#

but thats it

dusky yacht
#

Isn't it 8+3%

#

Or is that cause it updated the tooltip with hoodwink by itself

swift tinsel
dusky yacht
#

Right yeah it just updated my tooltip

#

Blizz pls

#

I am already confused enough

north schooner
#

you want them to not update it?

dusky yacht
#

Sometimes update

#

Sometimes not update

#

I want consistency

north schooner
#

they mostly do

#

except when they don't

swift tinsel
#

kinda surprised Cloud Cover isn't a choice node with Devious Distractions

#

that would make more sense

#

imo

#

triple stack fazed in blades vs sectech fazing all targets once

sharp sapphire
#

but if you reapply fazed around the 19-20s of cloud cover and fazed lasts 10s then that will get you 29-30s of +24% dmg

finite hedge
#

Yeah 30s of +24% sounds pretty strong

swift tinsel
#

its 10 sec of Cloud Cover that last 10 sec after that

#

so 20 seconds

finite hedge
#

fazed lasts 10s

#

apply fazed at end of 20s

#

30s?

swift tinsel
#

but the 3x stacks only lasts 20 sec

dusky yacht
#

"Attacks from within the cloud"

finite hedge
#

Hm, maybe. It doesn't say that. Someone probably tested on ptr though?

dusky yacht
#

I think they have a point

swift tinsel
#

you get 10 seconds of 3x stacks during the buff itself

#

from blades

shrewd lantern
#

its just not strong enough

swift tinsel
#

and then 10 sec after Cloud Cover expires, the 3x stacks persist

shrewd lantern
#

to compete with the talent its on a node with

swift tinsel
#

so 20 sec

alpine wraith
#

it is almost sameish with the one it competes with kinda

swift tinsel
#

of 3x stacks

alpine wraith
#

just more bursty

dusky yacht
#

Isn't that what people were saying we needed tho

#

I swear like a week ago 3 people started yelling at me that we needed more bursty cooldowns

shrewd lantern
#

spec needs cleave

wide ravine
alpine wraith
#

if you dont have gaze or puzzlebox yea

#

but unless vault is omegakrangled i would jsut farm puzzlebox

#

and take something else

#

even socket maybe

swift tinsel
#

it would give you an on-use trinket instead of gaze+rep trinket

wide ravine
#

i have a crit/hast ring in MM the other slot are bad very bad x)

# swift tinsel and then 10 sec after Cloud Cover expires, the 3x stacks persist

Just downloaded PTR to test this. This is not how it works. The effect that lasts 10s past the cloud cover is the ability to apply 3 stacks of fazed. For 20s you reapply 3 stacks. The weird issue is that after those 20s, if you reapply another fazed over it, the three stacks disappear and refresh as 1 stack. Kinda weird. But you can have 3 fazed stacks last 30s

swift tinsel
#

what you're saying doesn't make sense

finite hedge
#

That's just how it works, lol. I jsut tried it

#

I can record it for if you want

swift tinsel
#

if you have 3 stacks for 20 seconds, then if you apply fazed after that and its 1 stack, that's 20 seconds of 3 stacks

toxic igloo
#

Anyone ever take Vigor?

swift tinsel
#

if the buff lasted the entire duration of Blades, then 10 sec after, that would be 30 seconds

finite hedge
#

True. It's a strange interaction. But it is possible to have it up for 30s, but in practice will never happen most likely because another fazed will overlap

#

it does last the entire duration

#

thats what I'm telling you

swift tinsel
#

then that's bugged

finite hedge
#

its weird. At the end of blades I have 3 stacks of fazed at 10s

swift tinsel
#

and unintended

finite hedge
#

But the very next application overwrites them and goes back to 1 stack

#

so like, the next unseen blade you proc will go back to 1 stack

swift tinsel
#

which is how its intended to be

sharp sapphire
#

so after 20s any new faze application deletes the 3 stacks faze and applies a new 1 stack faze

finite hedge
#

yes

swift tinsel
#

yes

#

if the initial buff is 10 seconds, and the persisting buff is 10 seconds, then it stands to reason the intented interaction is applying Fazed after the 10 sec persisting buff ends would return it to 1 stack

keen dome
#

I assume it's 'cos the buff ends, the cap revets to 1/1 instead of 1/3

alpine wraith
#

hmm do we do it

swift tinsel
#

just a humble mastery farmer

alpine wraith
#

maybe second rogue gets to enjoy it

swift tinsel
#

what are stats on tier legs?

frail kindle
#

is it just me or does this feel like one of the worst balanced tiers in a long time

#

like specifically in terms of cleave balancing and tank balancing

keen dome
#

Not really.

frail kindle
#

like you have guardian druids beating half the specs in the game on the egg

keen dome
#

One single phase of a single fight isn't the entire tier

frail kindle
#

well you cant play prot pal

#

on any fight because its too squisht

void nebula
#

Or hpally, cause its bad

frail kindle
#

vdh is basically invisible too but i guess thats because devo and havoc are busted

#

yeah hpal too

#

and mm hunters doing 2x the damage other classes do in aoe

void nebula
#

Outlaw is super bad, but outlaw is always super bad.

frail kindle
#

eh

#

outlaw is even bad in low target cleave now

#

which has historically never been the case

swift tinsel
#

tank balance is kinda wild

#

(very)

warm marlin
#

you'd think it would've gotten easier with a simplification

plush roost
#

Wdym its so balanced bro. U have 3 mm hunters on one side of the scale, and 17 other classes on the other side and it balances out

warm marlin
#

oh but it's just the low target cleave bug/niche that mm is abusing

ripe flame
#

I blame the fight designs on voidspire

warm marlin
#

as they play triple aug triple mm on every fight

swift tinsel
#

in the big paladin tier as well

plush roost
#

Yeah that... just dont look at their ST in keys

swift tinsel
#

meanwhile aren't prot and holy paladins dying

warm marlin
#

consistent low target cleave = mm
burst aoe = mm
burst st = mm

plush roost
#

Or their "i delete this pack/mob" in hard keys

swift tinsel
#

yeah ret really carrying the paladin banner which is funny

ashen warren
#

is there an importance of doing first SB or SD in the macro ?

void nebula
#

The fact Outlaw isn't good at low target cleave atm is criminal.

swift tinsel
#

as one of the only good melee specs currently (and I use melee loosely as they're half-ranged)

lilac stag
#

balancing is fine. rogue just justifying their low play rate by being garbage

plush roost
#

Good comms

lilac stag
#

Minimal dev time.
Shit spec design.
Shit performance.

frail kindle
#

top 3 egregious examples top of my head are bear druid all their damage still being tied into incarn leading them to doing 200k on egg phase beating half the dps in the game, prot paladin being basically a dps with a shield extremely squishy but insane damage, and then mm hunter just doing 2x the damage of every other class in the game

#

and i guess aug

west tide
#

i need that 1% mount so bad

#

i will become a key guy

lucid jackal
#

And Devourer

vernal drum
#

@vale pine on both of you sim as sub rogue trickster i can't find wich weapons buff u use, oil ? or stone ?

lucid jackal
#

?

warm marlin
#

yeah our dh told us about dev getting a 5% st buff and survivability buff and massive large aoe buff with .5

swift tinsel
#

based

warm marlin
#

very interesting

keen dome
#

I guess they gave it to the wrong purple spec

swift tinsel
west tide
#

will it be more goated than aug now

swift tinsel
#

what the fuck is this game anymore lmao

warm marlin
#

listen to this right, you pop souls from every mob you hit which give you a damage buff for each one you pick up

#

but they're capped at like 20% damage total from stacks

#

except they're just removing the cap with .5

swift tinsel
#

huehuehue

#

surely they needed that

warm marlin
#

so on aa first pull you'll have like 100-150% damage instead

#

from this buff

quaint lodge
#

oh thats nice

keen dome
#

lmao what the heck

quaint lodge
#

thank u

keen dome
#

that's hilarious

west tide
#

its chill dude if this is the new balancing and they dont give a gaf

quaint lodge
#

in honor of this info -5% rogue ST to sub rogue cuz they found a new build

west tide
#

that means when its OUR turn

quaint lodge
#

lets balance this correctly

west tide
#

we will be so op

I personally can't wait to see all devourers rip aggro and instantly explode on AA pulls.

Trying to get into sub but for me the hardest thing is figuring out the stats. I mean it makes sense, but chasing after particular items or picking missives is the hard part. Because in raid I'm finding it's mostly haste/mastery, but in keys it's mastery/crit and a lil haste. Any suggestions?

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

can get that haste amount from gear/gems/mana oil/flask

keen dome
#

Yeah, precisely that. Haste to 700 -> crit+mastery.

swift tinsel
#

800 if you don't have Guidon trinket yet

serene notch
#

Isn’t the main point of haste to be able to fit two sectecs into blades window? If so why would our BIs trinket be an on use haste trinket if we already have enough hate to fit two sectecs into blades?

Alright sounds good
