though

vale pine
#

i mean terrace is fine loot wise

tidal solstice
#

we slap in m+ ... what

shrewd lantern
#

we’re fine in damage

tidal solstice
#

only gonna get better tues

vale pine
#

cavers has too many bad rolls

shrewd lantern
#

we dont buff the good classes though

vale pine
#

nexus point i feel like has too many bad rolls

tidal solstice
#

I AM THE DANGER GOOD CLASS

sullen hare
#

Until a content creator comes out and says we blast we won't be getting invites regardless but we are getting buffed Tuesday

shrewd lantern
#

we had aoe blind in tww

vale pine
#

spire has too many loot pices

shrewd lantern
#

class was still a bad frost dk

#

lol

vale pine
#

AA is actually quite decent

sullen hare
#

And now we're a better fdk

tidal solstice
#

idgaf im a shadow ninja not some cringe emo edgelord

shrewd lantern
#

*cringe naruto fanboy

vale pine
#

pit kinda meh

#

seat very meh

#

and skyreach quite good

shrewd lantern
#

we’re fine in raid outside of the last 2 of voidspire

tidal solstice
#

we need cleave back for seat to be good. pulls are too small

shrewd lantern
#

aka the only bosses with mechanics in that raid

vale pine
#

so skyreach / aa is what i would say is decent to roll on

#

ofc only if you need most loot pieces

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah the system is entirely what you need

#

im just sending for xenas rings

#

then alleria

tidal solstice
#

for me i dont need anything from AA except maybe the ring. a mythic trinket buuuuut im using guidon so f that.

sullen hare
vale pine
#

skyreach has:

  • weapon
  • shoulders
  • back
  • chest
  • feet
  • (trinket is okay, but not rly good)
shrewd lantern
#

sub is also just boring in keys

vale pine
#

but if you already have weapon and tier slots, not worth it

shrewd lantern
#

ss bp

#

is so braindead

tidal solstice
#

i love sub in keys. the simplified rotation leaves me the bandwidth to focus on the fights and using my utility

sullen hare
#

I'd like to give a shout-out to the void storm trinket which is an actually good quest based trinket for pretty much all of heroic raiding

shrewd lantern
#

2+ targets spamming bp means you can afk play the entire spec

vale pine
#

aa is:

  • wrist
  • hands
  • finger
  • trinket
  • (bad) back
tidal solstice
#

alreayd have hands, ring, wrist, back.

#

so AA ill be avoiding

vale pine
#

ye

wintry heart
tidal solstice
#

nexus got dagger, back, chest, hands, feet, rings x2
only thing i dont need there is back

#

and hands

#

shame the dag is vers though

shrewd lantern
#

im really just going for xenas rings

vale pine
#

nexus dagger has not great stats iirc

vale pine
#

let me quick look

shrewd lantern
#

otherwise prob better to spend on beloren

#

since his gear is 282

tidal solstice
#

my guild still prog m bel

warm marlin
#

if you desperate need a trinket you def send it on m beloren as outlaw loot spec

#

only 3 items in pool vs. 4 for chim

shrewd lantern
#

nah i dont

tidal solstice
#

our focus rn is cleaning chim and imp weekly for peoples vaults for trinkets.

warm marlin
#

ofc you prob arent gonna be reclearing belo at that point so

shrewd lantern
#

also techniqlly

vale pine
#

ye, nexus point dagger has vers

#

unsure i would specifically fish for that

maiden oar
#

are there trinket sims for .5 patch out

shrewd lantern
#

you have a 2/4 chance of getting a trinket from chim

#

just only 1 is good

maiden oar
#

curious if i should farm the skyreach trinket or stay a crucible gamer

vale pine
maiden oar
#

ah ok

hallow mortar
#

You send it in nexus till you get two rings

#

Easy

shrewd lantern
tidal solstice
#

im probably gonna just settle on having heroic trinkets and fill out the rest of my gear then use the vault + drops to get mythic trinkets

shrewd lantern
#

and loot it first vault

maiden oar
#

he just hasnt hit yet

tidal solstice
#

cause each roll for a m gaze when i have a heroic already is 2 other mythic peices im not getting

vale pine
#

nexus has:

  • Weapon (bad stats)
  • back (bad stats)
  • chest
  • hands
  • feet (bad stats)
  • ring set
#

so 3 bad items

#

i would say

#

weapon ofc is mythic track then

tidal solstice
#

feet are getting catalyst

vale pine
#

oh true

#

you can cata feet

#

cata back is same stats so unlucky there

tidal solstice
#

you want to, crazy good stats

vale pine
#

ye

#

so feet is fine

tidal solstice
#

dagger is probably fine too. my sim oddly enough showed a slight gain of vers to be a dps gain

vale pine
#

having a slight amount of vers is fine

brisk onyx
#

Aren't you guys considering raids? m+ loot pools are so big dead

tidal solstice
#

takes two charges for raid bonus rolls

vale pine
#

while you get only 1 from raid

tidal solstice
#

2 charges to upgrade a gaze from heroic to mythic. or two mythic peices upgraded frm heroic

vale pine
#

so you get more chances when rolling m+ loot

brisk onyx
#

how many token we take a week?

tidal solstice
#

2

vale pine
#

we get 2

shrewd lantern
brisk onyx
vale pine
#

one roll in raid is 2 tokens tho

#

one in m+ is 1

#

so you can get either:

  • 2 mythic+ items
  • 1 raid item
tidal solstice
#

im not using mine on raid until rest of my slots are mythic. gonna rely on drops or vault for trinkets and use rolls for gear i still need

#

already have guidon+gaze at heroic

shrewd lantern
#

besides rings im only missing 4 slots

vale pine
#

it will come down to how much loot you have, how much you crafted already

shrewd lantern
#

so kinda w/e

#

split gamers are already 283

brisk onyx
#

ok, so it seems skyreach is pretty good

vale pine
#

you can:

  • fish for one of the good trinkets (guidon/puzzle box)
  • fish for your passive trinket (gaze or egg boss)
  • fish for aleria neck
  • fish for general upgrades if you have a lot of hero pieces
shrewd lantern
#

maybe not rogue since most of the better guilds

brisk onyx
#

how about saron?

shrewd lantern
#

arent dumping gear onto their rogues

brisk onyx
#

we should need cri/haste in 12.0.5

vale pine
#

ye

tidal solstice
brisk onyx
#

and it have cri/haste amulet and ring

fading saffron
#

is it safe to recraft items now to crit/haste

tidal solstice
#

id wait til patch

small sleet
#

mastery is still good for m+ no? and everyone knows raid is the minigame so surely we dont have to change stats

keen dome
#

Wait for patch, wait for dust to settle, imo.

fading saffron
#

im assuming its the same haste value but then crit gains afterwards?

tidal solstice
#

haste = 700>crit>mastery

fading saffron
#

siiick

tidal solstice
#

i wouldnt sweat the crit to mastery toooo much. if youre doing a lot of keys, mastery is still good

shrewd lantern
#

rogue sucks in keys

brisk onyx
#

Based on my simc, stats requirements for m+ remain unchanged, while raids tend to have more crit

shrewd lantern
#

lmao

vale pine
# brisk onyx how about saron?

pit has:

  • dagger (crit/haste)
  • neck (crit/haste)
  • back (bad stats)
  • bracers (bad stats tho can catalyse to crit/haste)
  • belt (crit/haste)
  • legs
  • ring (crit/ haste)
tidal solstice
#

youre just a ray of sunshine graf

vale pine
#

its lovely how pit is all crit haste

#

crit/haste isn't too bad tbh

rugged ravine
#

stupid question -- if I crafted 2 x farstriders mercy -- can I wear both or just one?

vale pine
#

with crit as a higher priority for single target

shrewd lantern
#

you can but wasting gilded on an offhand

#

yikes

vale pine
#

you don't want to craft a offhand

small sleet
#

yea i would say i wouldnt recommend doin it

vale pine
#

offhand slot is low impact

#

so only get a mainhand

rugged ravine
#

yeah I know. just wondering because Ive been stuck with a veteran offhand for a while now

vale pine
#

hmm

#

we upgrading trinket or weapon first

tidal solstice
#

im still rockin hero OH its really not a priority imo

vale pine
#

i guess weapon

keen dome
#

Can only have two embellished items, infinite crafted items.

keen dome
leaden thorn
#

are you flasking crit or mastery in m+?

small sleet
#

mastery

vale pine
#

probably

#

MH
then trinkets for m+ and raid
then offhand

vale pine
keen dome
#

Hahaha, that's true

leaden thorn
#

did anyone try maxxing crit mastery for keys with enough haste for energy/combos instead of prio second tech in blades build?

maiden oar
#

wonder if once u upgrade a slot u can upgrade that slot infinitely

vale pine
#

(if it's not obviouse, there are 16 gear slots)

maiden oar
#

or if its like evil if u want to upgrade flag/pbox/gaze

#

and u need an extra week for the 2nd on use

vale pine
leaden thorn
vale pine
#

but 700 or 800 haste seem like the sweet spot

#

you get flooded with cp/energy as is due to how things are designed

#

during cooldowns

lusty acorn
#

For new patch sub gonna above assa for buffs right?

vale pine
#

so haste is mostly for dance duration and secret cdr

vale pine
#

subtlety won't fly close to the sun tho

#

unsure about outlaw

#

it benefits even more from the new talent

teal plaza
#

Sub is gunna have insane burst windows with trickster now though, right

vast scarab
#

acording early calculation its 10% for outlaw

raw frost
#

I have the feather

keen dome
shrewd lantern
#

sub rework when

raw frost
#

2 min cd 500 haste but its really meh,xd

keen dome
lusty acorn
#

I hope drop today

raw frost
#

Is the box brtter than the feather

shrewd lantern
#

atp im just playing to be token atro buff

#

spec is 0 fun

vale pine
#

but people don't work on the weekend typically

#

🙈

teal plaza
#

Me, at work right now

lusty acorn
vale pine
#

so earliest we see chanegs is monday

Monday or sunday

#

who knows

lusty acorn
#

We hope

brisk onyx
#

who knows

shrewd lantern
#

spec still bad on paladins

#

unless they change nimble

raw frost
#

Will they buff sub after 12.0.5

warm marlin
#

unlikely

vale pine
lusty acorn
vale pine
#

but we will see

lusty acorn
#

It is good

#

But we need more

raw frost
#

Paladins have braindead aoe

stable marlin
#

I don’t imagine we will be good on paladins/crown for the rest of the patch since it’s our damage profile and being melee that make us so bad on those fights

vale pine
raw frost
#

And easy to play

Average

vale pine
shrewd lantern
#

4/6

vale pine
#

it might be some hotfix changes

#

or maybe tuning

raw frost
#

Compared to the outliera like demo , dh mages

#

Sub is mid

#

In raid

vale pine
#

one of the already dominant classes/specs is getting a buff too apperently

#

sounds not great

#

mythic+ is also kind of not in the best spot balance wise

stable marlin
#

I don’t feel awful in M+ but the class perception is hurting more, I’m being removed from 10s before we start them as a 279ilvl with about 3k io so you know there should be no issues for a 10…

small sleet
#

the key is to be significantly higher io than the keys youre applying for require

shrewd lantern
#

i mean i feel good in pugs

balmy gate
#

demo/devourer best what u can pick for high m+

shrewd lantern
#

then i play with my mage and lock guildies who have hands on the keyboard:

tidal solstice
#

yeh its a stark difference. pugs will make you feel good. then you run with a cracked demo or frost mage who just pumps and ytou realize, hey maybe we need some buffs

tulip silo
shrewd lantern
#

going into pugs pretending the class is good

#

is like nba player playing in college basketball

#

ngl

tidal solstice
#

well y eh hence the 280ilvl and 3k score doing 10s

small sleet
#

i play with mage and lock too, but they play fire and destro so i stand a chance lmfao

shrewd lantern
#

i mean devourer unironically

#

plays like sub used to

#

kind of fun

#

not this braindead 2 spam rn

lusty acorn
#

I mean no one accept rogue 99% not accept 1% accept

shrewd lantern
#

i mean i dont play with pugs outside vault

#

im not trying to get chat banned

#

:)))

brisk onyx
vale pine
#

hmm

tidal solstice
#

tanks cryin about threat but wont invite a trickster lol

vale pine
#

and is ranged kind of

shrewd lantern
#

no good tank complains about threat

#

though

#

keyword: good

vale pine
#

if you jump in

#

and die

#

as e.g. a warrior

#

your fault

warm marlin
#

our homie on the 230 ilvl bear in a 12 yesterday was not happy with the threat garf

shrewd lantern
#

ret pallies are more guilty of that

#

imo

vale pine
#

haha, same thing

shrewd lantern
#

unless the warrior is a male orc....

#

then no expectations

vale pine
#

chargeee

stable marlin
shrewd lantern
#

10s are vault fill

#

just invite anyone over 280 with good raid prog

#

270 is full of rats

maiden oar
#

im not having a terrible time spamming 10-12 nexus point on my rogue alt who is kind of a rat

#

people seem to want to invite me for some reason

raw frost
#

i am 260

#

and i am doing 10s with my guild without any issues

#

and my dps in AOE is 10 % less than people 275 +

#

aoe is good ;d

shrewd lantern
raw frost
#

and sT is good in dungeons as well

shrewd lantern
#

who dont have chest

maiden oar
#

my man like this (my main is dh this tier)

#

trying to ge tother ring hehe

spare totem
#

As of 12.0.5. Are our stat prio changing to crit/haste/mastery? or remaining the same?

shrewd lantern
maiden oar
shrewd lantern
#

and have the other

maiden oar
#

i kinda had to get it

shrewd lantern
#

puzzlebox is literally fine

small sleet
#

haha nah myth puzzle box isnt that bad

small sleet
#

its just annoying to use

shrewd lantern
#

besides its a 3min cd in raid

#

so is waiting a gcd on guidon

vale pine
#

i need to make a edit too for that trinket

small sleet
#

now that im in the habit of waiting on guidon i dont really notice it anymore

somber sun
#

the possibility of a second secret technique cast during a shadowblades buff is only possible with the set buff ?

maiden oar
small sleet
somber sun
#

gotcha tyy

shrewd lantern
white siren
#

hard being bench on paladins due to class being trash tier on all spec ....

small sleet
#

your guild is a bunch of goobers if they're benching rogue buff after the health nerf to that boss

#

the dps requirement to kill it is so low now

#

atrophic legit higher value for prog than someone doing more damage imo

white siren
#

guild still does not count atrophic poison as raid buff

small sleet
#

youre legally required to crash out on them now

small sleet
#

go full early 2000s nerd rage

knotty marten
#

my guild didnt let me reroll evoker because they want atrophic
is it worth more than evoker util & buff? not sure if im just dumb and not realising how strong atrophic is

swift tinsel
#

When it’s good it’s good but when it’s not it’s useless

knotty marten
swift tinsel
#

If a DR isn’t reducing damage then it’s quite bad

keen dome
#

Atrophic has issues applying to some fights. And in others you don't even need it and it doesn't help you kill the boss faster, too.

#

Which is why it often isn't seen as being as strong as, say, a crit buff or masterybuff or w/e.

#

If you are hitting enrage with the raid alive then Atrophic ain't gonna be a help.

swift tinsel
#

I would really really like a crit chance + crit dmg raid buff

keen dome
#

y e s. P l e a s e.

small sleet
#

i just want a better damage profile

white siren
#

yes, currently guild just saw top rogue doing as much dps as worst hunt .....

#

boss design with rogue is trash currently, 2-3 target being really low

lilac stag
lucid jackal
#

Rogue has like 2 bad bosses rn

crystal temple
#

I like to run numbing poison JAMcat

raw frost
#

I have a question

swift tinsel
#

I’m pretty fuckin hype to get more burst

raw frost
#

the point is to have 2 SECTEC in 1 shadow blades right,m

knotty marten
#

my line of thinking was more uptime on movement abilities is better, since atrop wont save someone getting out of a oneshot ability in myth raid, but the movement might
not even mentioning the give everyone 1x free movement ability or fucking abduct someone against their will

raw frost
#

but if you are using guidon macro with shadow blades

#

you will always use 2x in 1 shadow blades

#

so its fine i guess xd

#

cause SECTEC CD becomes like 16 sec or 17

small sleet
#

you have less duration of shadow dance during your shadow blades if you do that though

swift tinsel
#

Outside of redoing haste for Sectech/dance more burst is my biggest wish

knotty marten
#

our healers dont seem to struggle, so atrop seems less valuable in that regard too
but what can i do raidlead says no

small sleet
#

because your first shadow dance wont get the increased duration

raw frost
#

it will get it

#

i use shadow dance after trink

#

so i always have the increased duration

small sleet
#

like you're hitting shadow blades + trinket 1 second before shadow dance?

raw frost
#

yes

#

or 0.5 sec xD

white siren
#

lightbond seems buggy sometimes i don't have increase duration

raw frost
#

shaodw dance is off Global CD s

small sleet
#

its not super optimal cuz you're losing one second of blades but its not the end of the world i guess

raw frost
#

so i use it instantly after trink

#

its less than 0.5 sec

#

and instantly SECTEC after that

small sleet
#

you kinda have to wait a full second

#

the less you wait the more likely you dont get the extension

#

ive had times where i clicked shadow dance .95 seconds after trinket and still didnt get the extension

raw frost
#

i have to try it XD when i get guidon 😄

#

i guess its not applied instantly or it's not recognized

#

with the feather i have now its working

small sleet
#

oh yeah idk if its the same with feather or not

raw frost
#

i mena i amfine losing 1 sec of shadow blades, i still do dmg in the mean time

#

just not optimal on 100 %

white siren
#

i press guidon 1 sec before blades + shadowblades so i tend to have the increase duration and I can use 2 Sectec into SB

raw frost
#

ye basically this is the most optimal i guess

#

losing1 sec of speed

#

but 100 % working for shadow dance

#

you can macro shaodw blades + shadow dance

#

and this way you dont lose shadow blades and SD duration

#

just 1 sec of haste

#

which is whatever

tidal solstice
#

i use my trinket key at the same time i press shadowstrike and it works for me

raw frost
#

ye it goes like for me at least , stealth > shadow strike + trink > shadowdance/shadow blades on macro > SECTEC

#

and the usual rotation

#

and you get the duration increase from the haste 100 % of the time

#

on dungeons with the it;'s like 12 sec +

#

which is a lot 😄

swift tinsel
#

!guidon

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.

tidal solstice
#

i pug too much to get enough value from TFD i feel. forced RP is really only on bosses which TFD is weak on if they arent melting fast

small sleet
#

i really feel like unless you have specific reasons you want the first dance, its never gonna outperform a point in finality in keys

raw frost
#

i have it on every pack

#

and itsa good xd

#

except the chain pulls

small sleet
#

you'll end up with a higher overall by chain pulling than you would with ending combat to get restealths

raw frost
#

i assuming you play without it

small sleet
#

yeah i stopped taking it a while ago in keys and i dont really regret it at all

raw frost
#

finality then

small sleet
#

i think the first dance is better in lower keys where the packs die faster

#

but the further up you go, it will naturally lose value since you spend longer without being able to get it back

raw frost
#

i am doing 10-12

#

i guess its better to drop it now cause ;d

#

on 12

#

i hardly go in stealth

#

i mean

#

out of combat*

tidal solstice
#

i stopped running it weeks ago and dont miss it

small sleet
#

even on 12's its probably still fine to run it. the difference is not large enough to split hairs over, so if you enjoy playing with that talent more you could stick with it and be totally fine

raw frost
#

what about weaponmaster

#

i guess finality is better overall xD

#

and not rng based

small sleet
#

weaponmaster isnt really good in keys, its a single target specific talent

tidal solstice
#

yeah but playing around TFD is such a hassle, for a tiny gain. id rather not.

raw frost
#

yes will go without it from now on, cause i too much think about it

#

in the keys 😄

#

its better to not

tidal solstice
#

finality 2/2+veiltouched.

small sleet
#

what are you dropping to get the second point of finality?

raw frost
#

ye

tidal solstice
dusky yacht
#

Timed windrunner 14 I heard we getting buffed bros

raw frost
#

after thge patch

#

i guesss finality will be a lot better

#

due to the crit dmg

small sleet
#

hmm idk

raw frost
#

and i am curious too what he is dropping xD for 2/2

dusky yacht
#

That's not what the suggested talents say in the pins tho

#

ST

#

But I guess it could still change maybe?

small sleet
#

those suggested talents are for after the changes

raw frost
#

so he is not using potent powder

dusky yacht
tidal solstice
#

yup i just plop that point into finality instead of PP or rotten and then be lazy. unless im doing mythic raids, idgaf enough lol

fleet acorn
#

But in m+ Tanks dont care

dusky yacht
small sleet
fleet acorn
dusky yacht
#

I'm just taking that from Eleem's pin but he's typing so

swift tinsel
#

Dropping potent powder in keys sounds wild

fleet acorn
hazy breach
#

Doesnt really have anything to do with the patch really, its just that the alternatives to tfd is a lot better this season compared to previous so unless you feel like youre getting good value from it (or are actively playing around it), its probably better to play something else

fleet acorn
#

Haste still good

swift tinsel
#

PE for crit chance since crit go brrrr with cloud cover

fleet acorn
#

I see that explains it

swift tinsel
#

Like omega brrrr

hazy breach
#

But generally PE is better during blades and attack speed is better during non-blades

warm marlin
small sleet
#

LOL

dusky yacht
hazy breach
#

Since they sim the same ive opted to recommend PE instead because generally burst is more desireable if the two alternatives are similar

fleet acorn
#

Still need to play it unless plume

swift tinsel
#

Burst dmg my beloved

small sleet
#

idk what sims say, but anecdotally from playing a bit of pe in keys here and there ive noticed it feels totally fine with shaman buff, but you seriously notice the missing attack speed if you dont have a shaman

fleet acorn
hazy breach
#

And im 99.99999999% certain both of those talent work as they should in sim as ive looked at it a lot

#

10% crit damage, aka 5% more damage on crits, aka ~2% more damage overall during dance

vale pine
#

you can play pe today too, but it makes more sense with patch

hazy breach
#

Bis geared sim with now with 299 weapon has its max crit of shadowstrike at 259k btw

small sleet
warm marlin
hazy breach
#

(not including clone)

#

289+10 = 299 no?

dusky yacht
#

259k shadowstrike

warm marlin
#

its 298 iirc

#

from the pictures blizz sent

vale pine
fleet acorn
#

U can only upgrade weapons and trinkets no ?

warm marlin
#

maybe im the cooked one

dusky yacht
#

Wasn't it +9 ilvl

vale pine
#

it is

hazy breach
#

The tooltip of the item says +10 i thought?

warm marlin
keen dome
#

an iLevel got lost

fleet acorn
warm marlin
#

classic blizzard shenanigans

hazy breach
#

Maybe im cooked and its 298

#

Either way, strike hit hard

keen dome
#

that's comedy strike damage

keen dome
#

and i'm here for it

swift tinsel
#

Prio monsters

vale pine
#

its 298 / 294

warm marlin
vale pine
#

because the +ilevel stuff is tracks and tracks are weird

warm marlin
#

would think the giga strikes meant its revival

vale pine
#

(due to squish)

warm marlin
#

since the crit damage thing is basically what was happening on beta sims with the clone bug

swift tinsel
#

Maybe only apex optimization in blades?

fleet acorn
# vale pine basically

So we can upgrade the vers mastery dagger insta? Or do I need the crit mastery dagger then ?

hazy breach
#

Not sure, but i didnt find it being worth. The non-rotten strikes dont hit as hard

#

But yeah i agree it should probably be good

shrewd lantern
#

time to stack versa for bigger shadowstrikes

swift tinsel
#

Wouldn’t rotten strikes always be used for the apex?

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Since it was being forced on sc finishers

sorry for typo

warm marlin
#

i can surely use the voidcore upgrade on my renown trinket right guys

swift tinsel
#

Hehehe

#

Unless you got a hero track one garf_sit

vale pine
#

thats champion track

#

so bad luck

hazy breach
#

Just gotta hack into the mainframe and upgrade it to hero track

vale pine
#

the upgrade only works on fully upgraded hero/myth

dusky yacht
#

We gotsa upgrade those trinkers

vale pine
#

after weapon

#

we throw the box into the upgrade track

dusky yacht
#

Gonna feel so good to instant upgrade weap as soon as it's possible

vale pine
#

(unless i get guidon or a good passive)

dusky yacht
#

And then my next one is myth guidon too

#

I'm cooking

#

Unless I get myth gaze

#

It's okay to dream

swift tinsel
#

We managed to not kill Imperator so hoping for myth dagger from m+ vault

#

Dispels are hard ig

dusky yacht
#

I missed one raid where they killed imperator and I had forgotten about the debuff I was like "uhh guys wtf do I do with this I forgot" and they told me calmly to run to them and I got instant dispel, on time, and we killed

#

W guildies

swift tinsel
#

We had two healers just not able to see the debuff on frames

#

And even with calling out who to dispel it was rough

for the changes to sub next week what will our stat prio be?

Is sub or outlaw better for keys then

vale pine

but i don't have a better repacement

its just annoying to use

we play the same trinkets as before patch

so nothing changes

That’s why

#

Sub is fine in keys

#

Works, does the trick

tidal solstice
#

youll do better with a spec you enjoy playing.

lucid jackal
#

Sub is going to be a lot better post patch

small sleet
bronze turret
#

Why

swift tinsel
#

We’re gaining a huge burst buff

tidal solstice
#

because blizz is shit with balance

warm marlin
chrome palm
#

Rogue brings only damage

bronze turret
#

sub do like full st dmg while taking aoe talents

hazy breach
chrome palm
#

If other classes can bring similar damage and other tools you’d bring them instead

bronze turret
#

What’s so bad about the “profile”

small sleet
#

we arent good at doing prio damage right now, so unless someone else in the party can carry the prio damage, you end up with the healthiest mob living the pull and then you have to single target it down

hazy breach
#

Subs isnt bad, assas is good

candid pebble
small sleet
warm marlin
hazy breach
#

The others = assa

chrome palm
bronze turret
swift tinsel
#

Nuclear bomb strikes in cloud cover certainly nudge prio damage a bit garf_sit

lucid jackal
#

Assa is getting no buffs while sub is gaining a fairly large buff

warm marlin
#

ye strikemaxxing gonna be good

grim wasp
#

is raidbots correct for crucible of erractic energies? Is algater box better?

chrome palm

You know I was hoping with strike being removed from nimble we would see funnel back

And then they make >75% of cp come from non builder sources

bronze turret

It looks so innocent

vale pine
small sleet
vale pine
#

but outside it isn't

keen dome
#

The best part of Sub becomes STRONK

vale pine
#

because the talent is increasing damage only during blades

bronze turret
#

Who cares about outside of blades

lucid jackal
bronze turret
#

But what do you lose for taking cloud cover and is that talent 0% dps

swift tinsel
#

10% finishers crit chance

hazy breach
#

The +6% is accounting for losing the 10% crit damage

bronze turret
#

Ah ok

#

You should rewrite the pin btw

#

It doesn’t say anything rn

hazy breach
#

What

bronze turret
#

Unless I am looking at something else

keen dome
#

Are you looking at the right pin? it makes sense to me

hazy breach
#

You need to press it

lucid jackal

If Ur on mobile u need to click on the pin

Here’s a tip for the future. Write a summary in the first 5-6 sentences and then deep dive later.

hazy breach
tidal marsh
#

Can we get a new pin that includes the screenshots of the previous pin

#

and maybe a couple red circles

#

Otherwise it's all Chinese to me

#

ngl

bronze turret

Mumbo jumbo

#

I love more burst tho, that’s cool.

#

Thanks blizzard

exotic steeple
vale pine
#

but 12.0.5 tl;dr is

  • roughly 6% buff overall from cloud cover (st and aoe)
  • Deathstalker gets a button to move Mark to a new target
  • Trickster drops premediation, takes rotten on st and stats are slightly more in favor of crit.
  • You can upgrade weapons/trinkets to 298.
  • Bonus rolls are back, you get 2 per week. Can either use for 2 mythic+ or 1 raid loot piece (costs 2)

#

its a pretty big buff im excited to see where it puts us. hopefully top 10 at least.

warm marlin
#

i will be upset with you if they get changed

bronze turret
lucid jackal
#

They might change it in a 12.1 type patch

lucid jackal
#

No way they hotfix Nerf it

bronze turret
#

Do we already drop premed?

lucid jackal
#

Or even random patch Nerf it

tidal solstice
#

the opener is so damn cursed though.

vale pine
tidal solstice

id rather keep premed lol

cloud cover makes strike damage more relevant

wth

chrome palm
#

The opener is nasty work but premed is kinda a mess

bronze turret
#

Wait so you backstab.. to 7 in opener?

vale pine
#

means losing aa procs from premed is no bueno, so we drop it

#

yes

bronze turret
#

Without snd active

lucid jackal
#

Yes

warm marlin
#

depending on your sht procs

vale pine
#

strike-backstab to 7

lucid jackal
#

Just proc?

bronze turret
#

What a mess

#

Why is this a thing

exotic steeple
#

6 seconds of ss and backstab

tidal solstice
#

vs 1 SS with premed....

vale pine
#

blizz could just rework premed

tidal solstice
#

no thanks.

vale pine
#

to e.g. give sht stacks

bronze turret
#

Isn’t it better to just strike from opener, vanish + strike

chrome palm
#

Is there a reason not to vanish strike in opener

vale pine
#

you want to vanish later so ye

hazy breach
#

Cloud cover makes strike hit hard

warm marlin
#

vanish giga burst in blades blud

bronze turret
#

“Giga burst”

chrome palm
#

Oh the 25% strike in stealth?

bronze turret
#

Can’t believe it

hazy breach
#

No

#

Just a strike inbetween dances

chrome palm
#

Ah

crystal temple
#

what's the bug with premed?

jovial widget
#

Is it a bug that I cannot see Find Weakness in the CDM? We have all buffs, even extremely niche - except for Find Weakness

chrome palm
#

3 minute vanish holy

vale pine
#

!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.

crystal temple
#

thank u

bronze turret
#

It eats the new talent

zenith mirage
#

fix premed bug and we gucci.

bronze turret
#

Hate it

zenith mirage
#

whats the premed vs no premed diff anyway?

fair phoenix
hazy breach
#

So tracking it is irrelevant

zenith mirage
#

%wise

fair phoenix
#

!fuu

vale pine
#

that there is no cloud cover in the cdm

wicked joltBOT
vale pine
bronze turret
#

Blizzard and their own addons

#

Literal dogshit

hazy breach
chrome palm
#

At least you should be able to track it kinda easily

bronze turret
#

Hate that they removed buff tracker from damage meters. Literally my fav tab

warm marlin
#

yea you will not need an addon to track cloud cover garf

#

it is quite obvious

vale pine
#

it can be a bit odd to play around

warm marlin
#

the big stink cloud

vale pine
#

because you want to dip into the smoke bomb

#

before it expires

#

so need to plan 10 sec ahead

bronze turret
#

It lingering for 10 seconds after leaving makes it irrelevant to track

chrome palm
#

Hopefully not an issue in big keys

swift tinsel
#

Can’t you effectively just look at blades buff in s1

chrome palm
#

But I can see it being annoying in low keys

keen dome
#

Just pop blades and you know you've got it for 10s+10s

bronze turret
#

10 seconds is a long ass time

swift tinsel
#

Since its 20 sec

zenith mirage
keen dome
vale pine
#

i mean its rly just

#

use baldes

#

dip into smoke bomb again shortly before it vanishes

bronze turret
#

Just don’t use blades like an absolute idiot and you should be fine

swift tinsel
#

It would be nice to see in case you have to run out and get back in before the buff expires on you

vale pine
#

or stand in it whole duration

keen dome
vale pine
#

but i can already see the problems in my raid

swift tinsel
#

Yeah

vale pine
#

where tanks never keep the boss local

swift tinsel
#

Yeppers

sharp lake
vale pine
#

but move them like they gain money per miles

bronze turret
#

I mean just wait until he has planted

swift tinsel
#

Think you’re planting then suddenly the tank gets the zoomies

warm marlin
bronze turret
#

Losing the buff because you’re trigger happy is just stupid

sharp lake
#

oof

bronze turret
#

And ye you can prob sprint + step in worst case scenario

warm marlin
#

it just simmed as a gain for me to drop it already for beloren style burst so i got a sneak peek at the no premed opener

bronze turret
#

Prob not worth leaving the boss mid blades regardless

small sleet
# lucid jackal Well I'm asking how much better do you perceive sin as being compared to sub?

sorry i got distracted for a second, i think id say assa is >10% better than sub in keys right now. sub feels quite alright to play, but the only place where i feel like it really exceeds over assa is single target fights. but like i said, no one is really pushing the limits of sub it feels like, whereas some really good names have high key logs of assa to compare to, so it could be closer than it feels and im just delulu

bronze turret
vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Yeah there’s heat maps

small sleet
vale pine
#

would be interessting to see how much people actually move

bronze turret
#

Are you better at sub?

#

Or assa

small sleet
#

yeah im terrible at assa

swift tinsel
#

And you can watch the little icon replay

bronze turret
#

Then there’s literally no point playing it

drifting ether
bronze turret
#

Sub is so fucking dumb simple rn that a monkey could do it

small sleet
#

i dont play it, but when someone asks which spec is better, why would i try to tell them sub is better if i dont think it is?

warm marlin
#

do the apex optimization with strike, but cast bp. is a big prio gain

#

or just full st the mob if the slop adds gonna die anyway

bronze turret
warm marlin
#

ofc assa does a better job at prio.. but your st is a lot better especially next week

small sleet
#

ya thats what i said

small sleet
bronze turret
#

And the answer to that kind of question is “whatever you’re the best at”

#

Because if you ask that question you’re probably quite new to the game

warm marlin
#

I really dont think outlaw is better unless you're routing for it

chrome palm
#

Outlaw is better in the long run bingus

Outlaw stimulates the brain more than sub so it becomes the better push spec

Wouldn’t that make it even more mentally exhausting

I remember watching jpc try to play outlaw, his forehead full of sweat, doing 40% less dmg than the 2nd

I just think its funny every tier people get baited seeing zac as the number 1 io rogue

The pikaboo clip of him trying outlaw 😭

Aren’t the Chinese ahead

#

On rio

warm marlin
#

idk sometimes

hazy breach
#

Think theyve dropped rogue now

bronze turret
#

Ah ofc

swift tinsel
#

Idk if they have any rogues above Wox/zac atm

bronze turret
#

I only pug these days and people don’t even use shroud anymore

#

Might as well not exist as a skill

swift tinsel
#

They were all ddh/aug/uhdk-demo last I looked

chrome palm
#

When you press shroud

#

Everyone instantly hits burning rush, fel rush, etc

steady timber
#

Before a raid boss pull

chrome palm
#

And walks on top of mobs

bronze turret
#

Pugs can’t use it, they lose their brains

chrome palm
#

Shroud has been useless for so long the pugs never learned how to not break stealth

bronze turret
#

As a rogue you have perfect knowledge about every stealth seeing mob

#

These idiots don’t even know what it is

swift tinsel
#

Can other people see truesight eyes when they’re shrouded?

chrome palm
#

Chance of a dh player turning turning off immo aura in shroud = 0

swift tinsel
#

Idk the last time I was in someone else’s shroud lmao

warm marlin
#

idk if veng can

swift tinsel
#

I don’t think so

warm marlin
#

gotta wait it out

swift tinsel
#

And it can auto-proc itself lmao

#

When it runs out

vocal rock
#

Only once this season so far I had tank ask me to use shroud. It was AA.

warm marlin
#

ye ppl remember that one because people actually played rogue in df1

vocal rock
#

Lol

swift tinsel
#

I get the classic DPS Walks Over a Mob in Shroud and pulls most times

vocal rock
#

Actually that reminds me the tank was like ok everyone mount up for shroud, and I realized I’d never mounted up with shroud before and was nervous I didn’t know if it would cancel it or not. So i just hit sprint instead

swift tinsel
#

Wait with no premed does this mean shroud speedy boots is back on the table

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Or is that one gate down Idr

hazy breach
#

You cannot pick it as its behind premed

swift tinsel
#

Boo

#

Ah that’s right

hazy breach
#

But you do get +8% healing taken or better shadowstep

#

Which is neat

swift tinsel
#

Haven’t looked at that side of the tree since prepatch lol

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

Ye I’m cool with the extra defensive value

vale pine

healing increase is rly good too

warm marlin

ephemeral good but on like chim, alleria, even NK step talent so nice

im not good with the damn jank opener. they need to fix premed bug ffs blizz

GUys just 1 question, i have actually Puzzlebox & light company guidon better use this 2 trinkets or shoud i change puzllebox to solarflare prism?

hazy breach

It works like intended

its intended that a talent invalidate other talents?

Hey guys - I know we typically want about 20% haste - I got the Guidon trinket last night and I am trying to craft a ring - its a huge upgrade for me. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3SrQwD7KgN7RgY4F6zCxGQ - It's telling me making a crit/mastery ring is like 500 dps better than haste/mastery - If I make crit mastery ring I lose 126 haste and go below 18% - Is it not mattering because the guidon trinket is covering the needed haste? Thank you very much

warm marlin
#

with oils and flask on

rancid sierra
#

Let me look rn

#

I'm not amazing at sims to know

vale pine
#

you want 700 haste with flask/oils

#

everything above is overkull with guidon

rancid sierra
#

How can I see what my stats would be?

#

Can I from the sim?

#

or a math thing?

lusty acorn
#

For crest who will upgrade any item 298 should i power my weapon or trinket?

warm marlin
#

you can see from the sim in the html report if its not a large sim

rancid sierra
#

Ok

lusty acorn
warm marlin
# rancid sierra Ok

i more meant just take whatever haste you have now while full buffed and subtract the ring you would replace (omission of light)

#

if its like 680+ its good to make crit mast ring

#

% doesnt matter

lusty acorn
warm marlin
#

idk how many we get but trinket after mainhand upgrade, prefer upgrading non guidon first

rancid sierra
#

Minus 126 from omission of light -= 552 haste + weapon oil = 568 + haste flask = 720~ish?

warm marlin
#

more than enough

unkempt walrus
#

is there a way to sim the 12.0.5 talents to see how much crit we need to be getting?

rancid sierra
#

thank you @warm marlin

warm marlin
#

theres a chance that you'd get a better result with a haste mast ring and swapping to a different flask but those are the joys of a haste cap

rancid sierra
#

hmm, i should test that

#

good idea

hearty mural
#

are we aiming to hit haste cap ? or what is the preferred range

high star
#

wowhead says 18 percent

684 without oils is a comfy level to hit.

#

ok ty

fair phoenix
#

outlaw will do more dmg then sub next week?

#

someone said 15% buff for outlaw

hearty mural
#

whats the % buff for assas or sub?

halcyon roost
#

For assa its 0

#

Right?

#

Dont think im getting anything

Someone said 7% for sub

#

for assa is the same

#

sub is 6

#

outlaw 15

ember hull

on the two dragons mythic yall using shuriken storm to build right?

definitely not 15

#

more like 10

10-12 max

Gamers is there a way i can merge the damage between shadow and physical damage components. I remember it was merged automatically before. On the archon logs it's merged automatically

he is most likely over hyping the buff 😄

Outlaw is getting anywhere from a 13-16% buff

#

That's just the reality

fluid lintel
#

This is an odd question

#

Do yall hide ur stealth bar?

alpine wraith
#

yea outlaw is the biggest winner

#

but sub wins in our hearts

#

also BURST BURST BUSRT

#

yea but u have to play trickster outlaw

alpine wraith
#

yea at least it is not old killing spree

#

frail kindle

old ks at least had aura

#

with cloud cover - once you get to 3stacks, do the stacks refresh for the duration of the cloud cover buff, in esence meaning cloud cover/fazedx3 will be up for 20s

somber sun
#

is it fine to use double crafted daggers ( simbot shows a major dps increase when replace offhand dagger )? This only happens when I use a high attack speed off hand 1.80 and 2.60, cause otherwise it doesn't show that possible upgrade with 1.80 on both weapon

hazy breach
#

Because it only gets reduced down to 1 if you apply a new fazed

somber sun
hazy breach
#

Using a nondagger in offhand loses you about 10% of your energy and combo points

lucid jackal
#

Double crafted dagger is terrible

somber sun

olive canyon
#

how fast did you get to 3 stacks upon hitting blades?

somber sun
#

alright

hazy breach
lusty acorn
#

The buff only for shadow blades?

hazy breach
#

Since every auto attack procs it

olive canyon
#

and i noted their was no rotational changes in the pin - so it isnt worth entering dance at low cp, hitting a builder then sectec? to have the 3x fazed guaranteed?

hazy breach
#

Youll be 3x stacks anyway before clones hit

#

Because sectech applies 2 stacks

#

And you will have one stack already

shrewd lantern
#

sometimes i wonder

#

if any other classes experience people asking about such dated mechanics

like weapon speed

#

asking blizz to think things through:

lucid jackal
#

Like fury can't use 1handers

#

Survival can use 2handers and daggers, and I think dagger build overall is best

#

Frost dk also has dual wield and 2hander builds

iron whale

are you guys genuinely enjoying sub in m+?

#

or delve content?

keen dome
#

Yeah, I'm enjoying Sub in most content.

stoic anchor
#

how much better is trickster in m+ than deathstalker?:D i'm ~3.4k rio

#

i gave deathstalker a go and it wasn't half bad. plus -3s to shadowstep enables the mlg plays which let's be ones, this is the sub discord, we all play for the clips and mlg glory

alpine wraith
#

quite a bit worse next week

tepid raven
#

It's a lot worse aoe

alpine wraith
#

rn it is kinda fine

#

you will do a bit less overall but more prio kinda

stoic anchor
#

yeah felt like that too

#

7s cloak tho peepoStare -3s shadowstep peepoStare it's doing things to me!

vale pine
#

cloud cover makes the coversation fairly one sided

i don't think it needs another additional one
