Idt the boss needed any nerfs, probably, but loosening up comp requirements, and making the annoying kick mechanic more bearable isn't like, huge right

lilac stag
#

Just make a ?? Toggle and you too can prog RWF.

lucid jackal
#

It's not like the dimensius nerfs or smthing

#

Or like, the 10 different nerfs to tindral

warm marlin
#

nah its a good take

lucid jackal
#

Idt any Nerf done this tier is actually that bad imi

chrome palm
#

first beloren nerfs were really stupid

#

nerfed the wrong thing

#

but they didnt ruin the fight or anything

lucid jackal
#

They said they wanted it to be a 3 egg fight

#

In the recent interview

chrome palm
#

ah so they are just

#

totally clueless

warm marlin
#

5mins is pretty short

lucid jackal
#

I wouldn't call then clueless for that

#

Just like, misjudging how much damages ppl are doing rn lol

#

Think clueless is a bit harsh

chrome palm
#

i dont think 3 phase is possible with healers

dusky yacht
#

If I got 628 should I use haste flask? I can't get the drops I need from m+ and my dps in raid is lacking like crazy so I'm trying to find a fix, can't be my rotation so..

chrome palm
#

i think that is them totally missing the mark

eager latch
#

is that new trickster talent good

#

i saw the guy tweet

#

but also remember eleem saying it was a nothingburger

#

who do I believe?

lucid jackal
#

He was wrong!

lilac stag
eager latch
#

that talent actually good?

dusky yacht
lucid jackal
lilac stag
#

R u sure?

dusky yacht
#

Yes

lilac stag
#

really really?

swift tinsel
#

I'm bout to Pig Pen with this cloud cover shii

dusky yacht
lilac stag
#

I mean if you’re that positive. Get haste and win

#

Why even ask

placid isle

Chuck a log then?

lilac stag

swift tinsel
#

a haste flask would greatly overcompensate for the haste needed

lucid jackal
#

It probably is partially rotation though

rancid epoch
#

Guys, is it correct that in midnight offhand actually increases dps and item level there is important?

swift tinsel
#

are you running +16 haste/X gems?

#

bc you can relatively easily get 32 haste that way

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

or ways to eke out a bit more haste

eager latch
#

what are the sims looking like for the new trickster talent?

swift tinsel
#

WIP

#

also it kinda depends on how it goes live

eager latch
#

wat dat mean

swift tinsel
#

currently tripling the bonus crit dmg from Surprising Strikes

#

also duration can extend beyond the 20 sec of the initial+lingering buffs

dusky yacht
#

Issue is i'm 37 runs in and no drop

#

This would put me at breakpoint

swift tinsel
#

but that doesn't help with your dps now

muted girder
#

the new talent just sounds like we have been added to the classes that have something that drops on the ground that tanks will move out of 🙃

swift tinsel
#

I want cool orbiting Shadow Blades

#

since Shadow Blades is what procs it

#

you can have that one for free John Blizzard

#

outlaw can have orbiting pistols, the american dream

Finally my 800 crit will be worth it

#

Usedtoprayfortimeslikethis

lilac stag
#

Um. It’s 800 haste. 3400 crit

shrewd lantern

fossil forge

west tide
#

chat what does cloud cover do

sullen hare
#

+2 stacks of fazed

fossil forge
#

u basically hit a bong before going into blades

lilac stag
west tide
#

hehe

#

ok so what does that mean i need it spelled out

sullen hare
#

cloudcover music is a licensed music service that provides convenience stores with music that won't get them in trouble with the fcc

west tide
#

idk what fazed does bro i just know i want it

shrewd lantern
#

means you mail your tank bleach

#

when they inevitably move the boss out

#

of your funny smoke

west tide
#

the boss needs to be in my smoke?

#

ok ok

shrewd lantern
#

yes

sullen hare
#

yes 🙂

lilac stag
#

Cloud cover creates shade from the sun. Direct exposure to the sun can lead to sun burn and skin cancer.

west tide
#

thats kjnda lame

sullen hare
#

yes it is.

vast dust
#

Tank confounding

sullen hare
#

that's part of why I'm just telling people that no help is coming and to play a different class or just don't play at all

vast dust
#

Nah. Rogue for life. Since 2004

lilac stag
#

It’ll get bug fixed within 10 days after going live

sullen hare

Rewind 5 minutes

#

I’d like to go back to nimble working with Elvis/strike nerf bp, and make us monsters in low cleave situations vs smallies killer

sullen hare
dusky yacht
#

I sim for like 96k dps ST patchwerk and just did 87k on chimaerus mythic, but it's still progress for us kinda (second kill we just did), so things are a bit messy at times. I guess I'm doing alright honestly, just need the haste capped and be able to use mastery flask instead of haste flask, but haste flask definitely felt way better GCD wise.

lilac stag
# fossil forge HAHA?

subtlety do low damage (“精妙”专精的伤害较低) get 700 haste from stats (通过属性面板获取 700 点急速) perecent does not matter (百分比数值并不重要) robot needs less haste than dad with 3 kids (机器人所需的急速比那位带着三个孩子的“老爸”要少)

i played pally a bit in wotlk

#

i bopped melee on their cds

#

during execute

#

or DI

vast dust
#

Still the best looking set

sullen hare
#

I think I looked at my macros the other day and found a divine intervention / blessing of protection cancelaura macro for sinister strike or backstab

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i like my 2 polygon set

#

too

#

i can count the things on one hand on the screen

lilac stag
#

og bf still goes hard

vast dust
#

Back in the day when feinting was for threat reduction

shrewd lantern
#

because 90% of players didnt have a cancel macro

vast dust
#

And pulling aggro was a thing

lilac stag
#

Threat meter > dps meter. Hahah

shrewd lantern
#

the only thing i miss about pre wod gameplay

#

was going on the forums

sullen hare
shrewd lantern
#

and watching people call each other slurs

#

over time runs

#

idk i made the mistake of opening trade chat on my server last month

#

and people arguing politics on wow

#

seek therapy

sullen hare
#

it's election season!

#

(election season is every year now)

shrewd lantern
#

now i moved alliance and its much better

#

nice and peaceful

vast dust
#

I remember buying my first Mac in 2004 after a couple years out of college and being like “I wonder what games are coming out”.

Turns out WOW debuted the week after I got my computer. Was a TIME to be alive.

lilac stag
#

I open trade chat to see if WW3 officially started

sullen hare
#

on my server we talk about 1980s chevy s10s and frozenpizzas

shrewd lantern
#

yea idk my server got a bunch of boomers talking politics

#

weird shit

sullen hare
#

proudmoore is just built diff

lilac stag
shrewd lantern
#

yeah wild to go on wow and argue ts

swift tinsel
#

its all some people have

#

since their family won't invite them around anymore

shrewd lantern
#

its both sides of the spectrum

#

lately

swift tinsel
#

at least 3x a day I see the 'using lib tears as lube' line

shrewd lantern
#

yeah i kind of saw both sides of it

#

alliance isnt as bad

#

horde is a cesspit

undead male can rock the devilock haircut which owns

vast dust
shrewd lantern
#

only in vanilla maybe

vast dust
#

Yup

shrewd lantern
#

i swear female human rogue face 5

swift tinsel
#

human supplanted in pvp with free trinket

shrewd lantern
#

had a longer run

swift tinsel
#

that covered all cc

shrewd lantern
#

basically the look reckful had

#

on his

swift tinsel
#

so you could run double dps trinket in pvp and demolish

obsidian crag
#

is this the best trickets ST talents for now?

shrewd lantern
#

its also why infinite people glaze vengeful glad

#

due to him

#

even though mid ass set

lucid jackal

ty

shrewd lantern
#

ill wait for fuu to post something

sullen hare
#

oh no we're going rotten?

#

🤢

shrewd lantern
#

the best era of rotten

#

was using it with dfa to kill people midair

#

in legion

sullen hare
#

frankly it's the era of sub rogue that rotten deserves

#

the one where our spec has no identity anymore

shrewd lantern
#

you'd strike for the teleport to them

#

then send a full dfa for the kill

#

and they wonder why they come back to pc dead

#

while being 300yd in the air

#

its up there with hanging out by the argus teleporters on reset day with the shuriken storm cloak

#

and just nuking people when they teleported

sullen hare
#

ok well that I can get behind

shrewd lantern
#

did you ever do that wq in stormheim in the pvp zone

#

with the rams that could knock people back?

sullen hare
#

I think I also cheesed with the cloak in epic BGs like ashran

abstract cosmos
#

also i noticed in raid we use shiv when do we actually use it

shrewd lantern
#

This was before they added flying to legion, you could be on one of those rams in stealth

abstract cosmos
#

is it off cd or

shrewd lantern
#

You waited by a cliff then sapped someone

sullen hare
#

stealth around and then open up in the middle of the healers while the front line was getting pounded and it caused the other side to collapse

shrewd lantern
#

and used the ramcharge to knock them off the cliff

sullen hare
shrewd lantern
#

we dont take it wdym

#

or well you can

sullen hare
#

also looking at the guide neither takes shiv so not sure what you're talking about

abstract cosmos
#

in the build for sub i looked

#

i copied

#

and they use it for single target

shrewd lantern
#

idk its not on wowhead

lilac stag
#

One of the build imports has it

sullen hare
#

mind sharing where you got it with the rest of the class so we can pick it apart?

abstract cosmos
#

ye

lucid jackal
abstract cosmos
#

its in the sub faq

sullen hare
#

OH

lucid jackal
#

You go it over finality

lilac stag
#

It took it over crimson I think

shrewd lantern
#

it takes shiv over vial energy?

#

what the helly

hazy breach
#

I mean you dont use shiv unless you want to remove an enrage

#

But it doesnt really matter either way

sullen hare
hazy breach
#

Both are incosequential as fuck

lilac stag
#

Shiv for Danse stacks. kekw

shrewd lantern
#

i was gonna say

#

usualy your choice of optional node is

abstract cosmos
#

so what builds should i copy i just go on wowlogs

#

and look there

hazy breach
#

You can get the one from faq

shrewd lantern
#

either feint energy/stealth speed/blind/iron stomach

hazy breach
#

It literally doesnt matter

shrewd lantern
#

all that literally dont matter

hazy breach
#

What you pick out of those

lilac stag
#

or just look at what defensives you want

lucid jackal
abstract cosmos
#

okay thank u

shrewd lantern
#

personally i feel not taking iron stomach or nimble fingers

#

is kinda troll

sullen hare
hazy breach
#

Idk how often are you pressing vial

shrewd lantern
#

with my healers?

#

alot

hazy breach
#

And energy is mostly irrelevant anyway

sullen hare
#

same, sometimes it's every man for himself out there

shrewd lantern
#

it was big value on gally since i pressed it on cd

#

with how afk my healers were

viral phoenix
#

!haste

wicked joltBOT
#

Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.

shrewd lantern
#

realistically you could probably drop virulent poisons

#

since the spell does 0.5% of your damage

#

so a 10% increase is....

#

absolute piss

violet timber
#

Pick one.

shrewd lantern
#

thats not really a contest considering 2 specs want guidon

#

in this game

keen dome
#

Neck

limber folio
spice matrix
#

Guidon is so easy to get

limber folio
#

^

#

but then again

#

sim

median sigil
#

question on vorasius mythic heroic or whatever everytime the boss gets pulled i get pulled out of stealth so i vanish and shadowstrike to start my opener or whatever. is there a way around that?

limber folio
#

the neck from BG weekly thing

lilac stag
#

Neck

limber folio
#

is also pretty good

shrewd lantern
#

yeah but if its an hc geared toon

lilac stag
#

Use reroll on mythic guidon

shrewd lantern
#

the neck also comes with the fact its already upgraded

#

which is nice for alts ig

keen dome
#

Neck is just nice value due to saved crests, great statting, and a nightmare to get natty

gilded ferry
#

the reroll for m+ is for the vault track, right? in raids it works in the current difficulty?

shrewd lantern
shrewd lantern
#

what

lilac stag
median sigil
keen dome
#

So on a +10 it'll give Myth loot.

gilded ferry
shrewd lantern
#

i mean my tank pulls first

gilded ferry
#

to get guidon M

shrewd lantern
#

and i've never gotten pulled out

#

so idk

keen dome
warm marlin
keen dome
#

Always be pugging with the thought of next reset I.e., getting a kill this week is going to take more effort but then next week rekilling is going to be a lot easier.

shrewd lantern
#

idk maybe you're being really slow if you havent cast your opening strike

#

by the time vora roars

median sigil
#

but ima try the tricks thing as well

shrewd lantern
#

his first roar is 11s in

#

so idk how much you're afking

fleet acorn
#

love how gaze went to the f shadow priest cause his sim was higher and i have heroic one

median sigil
shrewd lantern
median sigil
#

i dont mean that in a bad way either lol im generally a lil confused

shrewd lantern
#

Probably got pulled out

#

spending the first gcd doing nothing

median sigil
shrewd lantern
#

long term it doesnt really matter overall

median sigil
#

true just would love to save the vanish

shrewd lantern
#

one shadowstrike doesnt influence much

dense geode
shrewd lantern
#

yeah it doesnt really matter

median sigil
dense geode
#

getting pulled out is annoying but it doesnt change anything weather you striked from stealth or backstab not from stealth

median sigil
#

ok

dense geode
#

aslong as you have predmitation active

median sigil
#

i cant remember off the top of my head but does he have truesight?

dense geode
shrewd lantern
#

probably just whatever he hits the tank with

#

knocks you

#

if you care that much just strike at 1 and blame the boomy

median sigil
#

lol

raven sail
#

!api

median sigil
keen dome
#

But he is facing the group directly and quite large so he will see you relatively fast if you enter his aggro range

shrewd lantern
#

im pretty sure you need to hit him the very first global

#

else you get knocked out

keen dome
#

Yeah I think so

#

I tend to just be ins tealth and immediately strike when I see the tank get smacked

shrewd lantern
#

you can just strike when timer ticks down

#

unless your tank is a turbo bot

keen dome
#

well in my circumstance they typically are because pugs.

shrewd lantern
#

happens to the best of us

keen dome
#

I have seen monks roll off the voraius edge

shrewd lantern
#

@plush roost new pot after sectech?

warm marlin
#

dont think ive ever striked that boss on pull

#

too afraid to cheat

shrewd lantern
#

true

keen dome
#

just tricks some random dps you don't like

#

make it their problem

shrewd lantern
#

what do i do if i like my current ret

#

he gives me loh when the healers afk beating their meat

keen dome
#

do they have a sense of humor

shrewd lantern
#

And then big daddy cloud cover spawns in

never ever ever ever fall for Big Deathstalker's propaganda

uhh

keen dome
#

He leaps at whoever pulls him

swift tinsel
#

doesn't he fly at you

shrewd lantern
#

he jumped and instagibbed

#

any caster

swift tinsel
#

out of left field

keen dome
#

Yeah

shrewd lantern
#

that hit him first

swift tinsel
#

oh yeah lmao

#

I haven't thought about that homeboy in years

shrewd lantern
#

i watched our hpriest proc angel

keen dome
#

So you'd always see boomies or mages fucking eat shit on the pull if they went early

shrewd lantern
#

1 in 5 pulls

#

to that

keen dome
#

And it fucking owned

swift tinsel
#

hahaha thats right!

keen dome
#

Every pug you'd have people die to it the first few pulls

swift tinsel
#

yeah I'd be all for every single boss doing that

shrewd lantern
#

i used to tricks and shadowstrike fyrak on 1

swift tinsel
#

seeing Vora shoot at someone full-speed

shrewd lantern
#

with boomies in pugs

#

ngl

swift tinsel

gally does it too

You will get both

That is not rogue

I'll kick myself a little for not waiting on vault but I didn't expect to go to myth chim this week

#

Rogué

swift tinsel
#

thought we'd do myth imperator->vora but nah

hollow spear
#

Rouge

keen dome
#

I think people have decided ChimM is easie than Voraius which I don't really agree with in a lot of circumstances

swift tinsel
#

isn't the difference on vora that it takes 3 adds and they leave pools

hollow spear
#

Yeah

keen dome
#

yep

swift tinsel
#

which sounds insanely easy

keen dome
#

it's a really easy solve

swift tinsel
#

just kill them in back

open vortex
#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

out of melee range

hollow spear
#

for some reason our kills always come down to beating enrage

keen dome
#

ChimM is a lot more mechanically demanding and you will wipe in the intermission a lot. Vora is just do good damage and don't be dumb with adds.

hollow spear
#

every week we do more damage, but lose more people on the way

swift tinsel
#

do yall have people stack-ish in the middle for when they spawn and see which side the line is coming from and take add that way

#

since it often comes from closer to one side than the other

keen dome
#

Every pug I've been in just has people run around randomly and then the DK's grip random mobs without checking which side they're aggro'd too and then we wipe

swift tinsel
#

nice nice

#

love that lmao

#

my favorite is maisara pugs

#

with a dk gripping ghosts through the healer

lmao

yeah not looking forward to timing that on 16

Sup boys, just got a few questions its probably been asked 100 times but whatever

  1. I cant send guidon in same macro as blades and dance right?
  2. I got told that i should not insta send the 2nd dance if i have guidon in my blades, i just wanna know why that is or if that is correct. I assume to maximize supercharge on secret tech?
    (In raid ST)

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.

hazy breach

You cant macro dance with guidon correct

Apex talent optimization:

  • Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
  • Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
    Use Shadowstrike (even if on full cp).

oh lmao, that's interesting

I thought it was bait

dense geode
#

can anyone analyze droptimzers and explain to me why with a single ring change. all my items go from sub 500~ to 2.5k+ dps

pine viper
#

Are haste sims kinda weird rn

#

items with haste show significant dps increase even though I have 700 already

dense geode
#

manic salmon
#

read peeneed

pine viper
#

like i refuse to believe this trinket is good

dense geode
#

pinned shouldnt change anything

#

cause thats specifically for DS right

manic salmon
#

TLDR: New haste breakpoints, still AFTER oils & flask.
:Trickster:Trickster with Guidon - Aim for ~700 haste (same as before).
:Trickster: Trickster without Guidon - Aim for ~800 haste.

#

but yeah IDK

dense geode
#

yea that doesnt change anything in my scenario atleast

manic salmon
#

same for me here!

#

i dont have a guidon

#

but guys i want your opinion

#

mythic bird, assa or sub

alpine wraith
#

both are kinda bad rn but sub might be better next week

manic salmon

is the cloud really that big

kinda

yeh its huge and its gonna be up with every blades

so instead of having 1 fazed we'd be having 3 fazed debuffs

from 8

its 10s in the cloud

Did we figure out if the additional crit is intentional or not?

swift tinsel

I would be surprised if it is

finite hedge
swift tinsel
#

would also be surprised if that stays but probs lower prio fix than triple crit dmg

finite hedge
#

Triple crit dmg triple dmg reduction

swift tinsel
#

considering they didn't update any tooltips to say "per stack of Fazed"

#

but could always be oversight in either case

barren haven
#

if we go for the ~800 haste w/o guidon: do we put haste in until the 2nd sectech fits within shadow blades? or r we "stopping" to stack haste at some point past 800 w/o the sectech benefit?

hollow spear
#

They clearly want to return our blades window to its former glory and did not totally bungle the implementation

swift tinsel
#

Certainly dracthyr_kek

#

I'm all for returning burst to the spec so I'll happily accept it

lucid jackal

I wanna see it stack to six

Sub ends up visible on the meters: emergency hotfix

swift tinsel
#

for every stack they've accrued, they take 1% hp in damage at the end of blades

#

and you take 0.5% hp

#

I want Corruption levels of silly fun

barren haven
#

@hazy breach I'd like to clarify this for myself to make sure I understand.
So, if I'm currently at, say, 811 haste and the SecTech cooldown ends about 1 second before Shadow Blades—then I'll increase my haste even more, because SecTech and Shadow Clones take 1–2 seconds to cast.

In other words, we want the second SecTech to be ready and usable about 2 seconds before shadow blades run out.

Am I understanding this correctly?

hazy breach
#

If you have 811 haste your sectech cooldown should be ~18.4 seconds

#

And the clones hit after 0.6s/1.2s

median sigil
#

im at 733 haste right now

barren haven
#

yes so my 2nd sectech isn't within shadow blades. and thats what we want, isnt it?

means - i need even more haste, right?

or we dont care for it to be within shadow blades?

Maybe that explains my question better

hazy breach
#

It should be within shadow blades

dusky yacht
#

I need to get haste breakpoint without flask, getting to that breakpoint made dances feel so much smoother hoooly

shrewd lantern
#

700ish haste and guidon

both fit into blades

do the clone hits need to be in sblades too? dont they snapshot?

"sub is simple"

-constant sim questions due to haste

Bro I thought I was doing bad this raid and I got promoted to raider

sullen hare
#

In this raid it's demoted to raider

lilac stag
#

SLG KS was certainly a thing

sullen hare
#

I don't even want to be in on half of those shit ass fights

dusky yacht
#

I got fixated on vorasius with permission to stay on boss on first fixate and had to sprint all the way to the back of the wall, kill the adds and double shadowstep onto people to get back onto boss L

#

If it was second fixate I'd be chilling

lilac stag
#

second fixate is when blades is up

#

Chill on third

dusky yacht
#

Problem is if I get fixated I gotta run anyway cause otherwise we miss adds I think

#

I should talk to raidlead again I don't even know if he actually cares about my fixate

#

I just don't wanna be the guy that fails the wall

lilac stag
#

yes they care about your fixate

shrewd lantern
#

isnt it if you're on the wall

#

not how far down it is

#

idk been a few weeks

dusky yacht
#

Yeah but mythic it drops a pool

lilac stag
#

You don’t want pools

dusky yacht
#

Gotta put the pool back

#

Create space

shrewd lantern
#

yeah its been awhile since space was an issue

#

tbh

dusky yacht
#

Maybe we overdo it I think but like yk

#

Cause we run all the way to the back of the wall

shrewd lantern
#

yeah we did that week 1

dusky yacht
#

But I think it's just people feeling uncomfy about doing it "wrong" so they just run there and if one does it then everybody else runs all the way back lmao

shrewd lantern
#

i could have sworn they expire or something

#

as hes beaming

#

maybe im misremembering

dusky yacht
#

I should pay attention to that next time cause if that's true then man we are really wasting time

small sleet
#

the puddles stay the whole fight

dusky yacht
#

But still

#

We are prolly going too far

#

I'll talk to tactics lead and see what he thinks

shrewd lantern

I just dont remember space being an issue after week 1

lilac stag
#

@muted mica here’s the other you

shrewd lantern
#

We had no gear so we kind of just hit enrage

on that boss

dusky yacht
#

Fixed

shrewd lantern
#

i imagine once we're back on farm that thing dies in under 5 minutes.

dusky yacht
#

Our kill tonight was 5:40 but we are lacking an aug evoker

#

I swear that spec makes my dps shoot up into the sky

#

Might be coping

small sleet
#

super specific question but someone might know the answer: on algethar first pull since i enter my cds with 6 supercharged combo points, is it better to apex every single one of the supercharged combo points or does it hit a point where i'm missing more damage from the extra black powders that could be in the shadow blades window

dusky yacht
#

Super specific but a good question I think

hallow mortar

yo eleem where cloud cover pin

ping something fast panic

cant wait to see my cloud cover pin telling me were gaining 10% dmg next week 😄

hazy breach

Well subs uptime of it is like 20% instead of outlaws 60%

So its not 10%

gleaming crane

Are we using blades into dance, Storm and sec tech for aoe opener than ?

saj

hallow mortar
#

9% is fine too

frail kindle

extra burst is the nice part

#

gonna fuck harder on egg phase + salhadar n shit

hallow mortar

i dont want to play assa on every boss so this should help

lucid jackal
#

wasn't the case before, isnt the case now

#

So

frail kindle
#

i feel like every spec is decent

#

u can lowkey play whatever u want now

#

lowkey i dont even think outlaw would be bad on lura if its actually getting a big buff next week

hallow mortar
#

its turning into assa tier with every week

gilded ferry
shrewd lantern
lucid jackal
#

If u think its an assa tier rn ur just larping

shrewd lantern
#

its an assa tier on paladins

lucid jackal
#

Its not even an assa tier rn, and then next week its for sure not

shrewd lantern
#

which is a no rogue boss

hallow mortar
#

what about those popping oon eggg

shrewd lantern
#

isnt sub still higher

lucid jackal
#

Sub is better on egg p sure

#

Its just every public log is a noob

shrewd lantern
#

and its gonna be better next week even more

frail kindle
#

you can play sub or sin on egg

lucid jackal
#

Playing guidon and not prestacking for egg damage properly

hallow mortar
#

i just feel like going deeper into tier just favour assa as there is lesser pad to pad on

frail kindle
#

u just stack superchargers and fuck egg

lucid jackal
#

Sin is not

hallow mortar
#

but eleem wont spoil how much buff we are getting

#

but i understand he is just hiding it so devs dont notice

frail kindle
#

its probably like 8-9% lol doesnt matter that much

hallow mortar
#

he is so much smarter than outlaw guys

lilac stag
honest basin
shrewd lantern
#

also who knows

#

if the crit damage thing stacks x3

May as well play feral

hallow mortar
#

its not on ptr?

shrewd lantern
#

more of if its intended

hallow mortar
#

we kept some positive bugs for a while in past

shrewd lantern
#

either way you're not forced to play any spec

#

loktark killed cosmos as outlaw

hallow mortar
#

he is gamer

which is such a bad fight for that spec

hazy breach
hallow mortar
#

im just messing around

but again no one makes you play any spec

on a boss

And theres probably gonna be notes coming out tomorrow (which tbf probably wont contain stuff for rogue)

Also got called a one trick by my gm after him seeing me flex whatever spec is best for 3 tiers straight garf_sit

yeah your damage is good throughout the fight

you just want a lot of ranged

that would pose a problem

violet palm

guild were recruting extrea healer just for paladins

warm marlin

your damage really is just so atrociously bad on that fight I think playing a 6th healer and just livelording or playing a real dps are both better options

tidal solstice
#

a real dps 😭

warm marlin
#

the extra hps from atro is barely outweighed by the fact you just get murdered by divine storm

#

having an extra melee in

hazy breach
#

Btw upgrading guidon is kinda pointless as the haste is mostly wasted

#

Its only slightly better to use the +10 ilvls on your guidon compared to your offhand

glad i dont have mythic one than

but got mythic gaze in vault

Wild question before I take the time to write it all out, does anyone have a macro that is a one button click, oil, poisons, flask, rune?

itll still be bad

a decent portion of trickster gain is bugs garf

lucid jackal

150% crit damage is a lot

hazy breach
chrome palm
#

hey if we drop premed for this dogshit it wont bug our apex anymore

#

big win?

hazy breach
#

Its very close to not being good anyway

warm marlin
#

however i also abused the outlaw bug in tww1

#

so do you really want to be on my side

hazy breach
#

They shouldve changed premed to +5 sht stacks when you dance after they introduced the apex

lilac stag
#

Rogue beneficial bugs seemingly get fixed quite quickly

chrome palm
#

im thinking outlaw s2 tww

hazy breach
#

In practice its the same effect, except it has synergy with itself instead of anti-synergy

but yeah its technically not a bug

lucid jackal
warm marlin
#

this might be the most disgusting opener ive ever witnessed

#

i am sick looking at it

chrome palm
#

LOL

hazy breach
#

Yall might think "hmm if we vanished there we could get to full cp faster", and thats true

chrome palm
#

are we back to vanish inside of dance without premed

hazy breach
#

But then youre missing out on a vanish with cloud cover up

#

Which isnt worthwhile

#

You just vanish inbetween dances

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

mr eleem did you look at just storming to get rid of premed if you were going into dance with full cp

hazy breach
#

Well you aint storming with rotten

lucid jackal
#

nah everybodyu was playing nightstalker, it was just a bonus damage gain

warm marlin
#

i will happily drop it on beloren but i dont think i want to elsewhere

warm marlin
#

today i will play finality

small sleet
#

whats the interaction with our apex talents and premed that makes no premed a thing?

warm marlin
#

!premed

wicked joltBOT
#

There is a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts. This is not something you need to play around, as using Ancient Arts of Secret Technique is about the same value as using it on a regular Eviscerate.

chrome palm
#

you cannot consume shadow techniques while premed is active

small sleet
#

o interesting

chrome palm
#

so that counts for both using a finisher as in the example above

#

or for getting clones to spawn from strike via the apex

hallow mortar
#

so much talk about cloud cover meanwhile its already fixed going live :)))

chrome palm
#

and if strike crits for 20 billion then premed is poop

?!??!?!?

#

SURELY

#

THEY FIX THAT

#

IN A WEEK

warm marlin
#

well considering its been bugged since early df or something

finite hedge
#

Why does .5 change anything with premed?

warm marlin
#

the only real time we are negatively affected by the bug is the second dance of blades where sectec isnt up to be used with the macro

#

so you often dance into finisher

#

.5 adds a lot more burst in blades which therefore means this has a lot bigger impact

alpine wraith
#

without premed bug you want to apex first finisher right

#

hmm

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.

does deepening shadows extend dance duration based on haste rating or haste %? only reason im asking is because im a gnome so i have 1% extra haste, and i've been running a little bit less than the recommended haste ratings
