I don't get why they have this obsession now with releasing random shit to do like are we really the minority as raiders/m+ players?

Shadow Blades / Cloud Cover bug:
Talenting into cloud cover gives Shadow Blades a 30 energy cost; this is not intentional and seems to come from the implementation of the talent. It seems to just cast Distract, which costs 30 energy. Make sure to have enough energy before using Shadow Blades.

Still waiting for a melee/ranged hybrid rogue spec where I can spam jutsus

shadow snow
#

2 things we need from blizz right now are cloud cover costs no energy, premed works fine with the cloud talent.

dusky yacht
#

I'm dying

manic salmon
#

has anyone noticed that while cloud is active, if you apply unseen blade you may not get a stack of flawless form

#

you can genuinely run out of flawless form in fights

#

during sb

Reading this article after looking at the bug list is peak comedy

shadow snow
shadow snow
#

sent them the excel

vale pine
#

class bugs existed always

#

like subtlety was not as vocal about it

#

but most of the time had a huge list of bugs

#

so bugs are just part of the gameplay experience, they suck, but most are not that bad

#

however, midnight has people upset because of the enviromental and direction changes

#

e.g. the addon economy was fairly stable, you had a certain set of addons with fixed functionality you can use for years without update (more or less)

#

midnitght now breaks addon compatibility every patch, and sometimes in between

#

weather thats for a good reason or not, does not matter for the player

#

what matters is your gameplay experience

#

and having addons break all the time when the addon change was made to make the system simpler, is a big turn off

#

this just adds on top of other problems

haughty heart
#

I mean there are bugs that break your gameplay, the shadow cost of 30 energy when using shadowblades, the premed clone bug, the unseen blade reseting when cloud is over when it should stay 10 seconds... idk, i think they somehow makes me wanna cry sometimes

vale pine
#

server instability, more gating/slower pacing, a lot of instabiltiy/bugs during content release, etc

hazy breach
vale pine
#

it just adds up, and is why people are more upset now

haughty heart
#

And all of this, wasting 14 euro/month and 50 per expa

wanton mantle
#

I will say the stat change, loot bugs, and rotation bugs really felt like a kick in the balls made me not wanna play alot. I could be playing perfectly and still getting shit on by demo locks lol

vale pine
#

because the gameplay experience degrated compared to previouse expensions

manic salmon
#

and once the cloud ends only 1 stack gets refreshed out of the 3 applied

sick epoch
#

so from what I read, if we prefer using premed is only around 0.5% but we would use the talents we were using before with the cloud cover? or...

swift tinsel
hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

once the 20 sec of cloud buff + persisting buff is over the stacks just drop to 1

sick epoch
#

i'm probably wrong

dusky yacht
sour horizon
#

Classic is still around xD

vale pine
sick epoch
#

I mean what would I change premed for on m+ talents?

hazy breach
vale pine
hazy breach
#

No, you would swap the 8% healing taken talent into premed

sick epoch

i'm slow 🙂

shrewd lantern
#

premed isnt even that useful in keys

#

since you can just build with storm

manic salmon
#

it feels weird not playing with premed

#

the ol' reliable

#

you just always assumed it's there

haughty heart
#

Id only use it in raid tbh

crystal bone
#

^

#

8% increased healing received, my healer loves me already

sacred magnet
#

In Vaelgor & Ezzorak is BP our finisher?

vale pine
#

think warning sign has a higher impact than premed

shrewd lantern
#

if you talented in pp

vale pine
#

in terms of feel

haughty heart
meager canopy
#

I find that playing without the premeditation talent makes the gameplay more annoying.

wanton mantle
#

I played lura all last night no pre med and barely noticed after 6 or 7 pulls. Just get the combo points n blast

haughty heart
#

Probably vanishing

wanton mantle
# shadow snow how?

Nope just ss and backstab to 7. I hit my buttons got combo points n blasted.

shadow snow
#

vanish does not do much.

swift tinsel
#

only gives you 30 energy and an extra combo point

fiery fog
#

Is myth chima group 1 or 2 better? Does anyone know?

dusky yacht
#

The sim says SS vanish SS backstab and I'm doing that for max pretending to be doing something feels

swift tinsel
#

at a time when you want extra energy and combo points

fiery fog
#

Always have been group 1

somber sun
#

Once the 800 haste point is reached and got guidon, is it just better to recraft some items to cc/mastery ( to get rid of the 100 extra )?

wanton mantle
#

My brain pry just wired differently cuz i didnt mind playing with box after the first few days so shrug. Stop thinking so much about it and hit ur buttons.

dusky yacht
#

So basically you are free to drop 100 if you have 800

Are we still stacking mastery for M+?

Roughly

# grave parcel Are we still stacking mastery for M+?

I was looking into this last night but its hard cuz only 2 days of keys since patch. What i saw was it varies alot some people still had old talents and mastery. Others had new talents and mastery or new talent n Much more even stats

That's why I'm at 4/6 in the quest, to protect myself from blizzard

i aready used a roll

ill see what my guildie response is

Oh sorry fuu like 8 people asked my bad

today

wanton mantle
#

Yeah people are skipping over the non retrospective part

karmic harbor
#

i hope that's the case

swift tinsel
#

ye the blue post does make it sound like going forward you won't get duplicate rolls but nothing about it being retroactive

lilac stag
tall bloom
#

warning signs or planned execution for M+

vale pine
#

both is fine

swift tinsel
#

I wouldn't be surprised if they just gave everyone an extra roll

vale pine
#

i prefere pe in general

wanton mantle
swift tinsel
#

its a low-effort fix so its on brand

grave parcel
swift tinsel
#

and idk how they'd go about looking at every single instance of people who got a duplicate item

#

so just giving everyone an additional roll is an easy answer

spice matrix
#

sim yourself boys, don't stress yourselves out

wintry heart
swift tinsel
#

or something like if you currently have less than 2 or 3 you get 1 so you get up to 2 max

wanton mantle

#

!sheet

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

since it only affects people who have spent at least 2

somber sun
#

is there a way to know my general stats after simming ? ( % mastery,haste, etc...)

vale pine
#

single target is crit heavy

#

so both is good

#

can't go wrong

dreamy inlet
#

well if u want to play all 3 specs favoring crit instead of mastery is legit. And crit is great for st anyway

lilac stag
vale pine
#

(don't overthink it)

wanton mantle
#

Im not saying going full crit for m+ is the play but playing a proficient in all master of none kinda way

vale pine
#

the dungeon profile

#

kinda "mastery!!"

grave parcel
#

The only issue i see with that chart is it seems to me like puzzlebox is much better in M+ so would have to have more mastery

#

errn more haste**

ember frost
#

how are ppl doing it so that sectech is the most dmg ability in single target is it just random or am i missing something

hazy breach
#

The more mastery you have the worse puzzlebox is

grave parcel
#

Hmmmm

hazy breach
#

Because you hit diminishing returns really really hard when using secondary pot

wanton mantle
#

I can't get box to sim higher then feather in dslice

grave parcel
#

Yea thats why i figured if ur using puzzle box its better to use mainstat pot

hazy breach
#

Yeah, but using guidon and secondary is even better

grave parcel
#

heard that i will take your word for it thank you for the insight

#

i jsut swapped to puzzlebox for the patch

vale pine
#

guidon is also better on the st parts of dungeons

grave parcel
#

just trying to test things

vale pine
#

and lines up well (is less annoying to use)

grave parcel
#

yeah puzzlebox feels bad on bosses

somber sun
wanton mantle
#

If only i would have seen more than 1 guidon in all these weeks

swift tinsel
#

I meme about going 100% into crit but it does seem like with CC you really want a rather large amount bc the variance is quite noticable in blades

hazy breach
#

If you really want to aoemaxx you should have 2x mastery enchants on your weapon too garf_sit

vale pine
hazy breach
#

Not sure thats worth it for overall though

i guess nathria outlaw performed well too

i have a mythic belt i dont have the crests to send on it

if you like it, play it

cloud rover

I might play outlaw on reclears

shrewd lantern
#

actually i have 4 mythic items i cant send crests on rn

vale pine
#

but you don't need to play it

warm marlin
vale pine
#

it still is less flexible

#

and has a worse damage profile

warm marlin
#

bonus roll adding random 80 crests to my costs was not expected

scenic relic
#

Just a higher dps max in a sim I suppose

shrewd lantern
swift tinsel
#

I also need to start meaningfully gearing my aug

shrewd lantern
#

and still 2 tier pieces wasnt worth sending on yet

scenic relic
#

M+ sim is pretty significant though

swift tinsel
#

but I just really don't wanna play rn with the state of the patch

#

and game in general

gaunt knoll
#

Is the emblishment on a Myth crafted dagger worth the few ilevels over a fully upgraded myth track dagger?

warm marlin
#

we are so so deep in debt

shrewd lantern
#

i havent sent my helm i pulled from last weeks vault yet

#

apparently its not as big a gain since my hero helm has a socket

warm marlin
#

ye socket is good

cloud rover
#

because we are capped so much by crests

#

it literally doesnt matter

shrewd lantern
#

also cant wear a mythic belt since its only 276 no socket

warm marlin
#

its extra crazy because i never sent my crafts to myth because the slots were so bad

#

held it in case i got a myth dagger before we hit anything hard in prog

#

so i have 160 more than i should normally

shrewd lantern
#

why do i just end a week

#

with 10 extra

#

idk how to get rid of

30 uncapped

but the stats are from gear

he didnt blow his load until 10s in

Cant focus on your rotation at all

shrewd lantern
#

supposedly its braindead easy

swift tinsel
#

which was kind of a meme bc all abilities were jumbled

#

idk how that fight got so scuffed

#

Like I don't mind doing callouts and whatnot if needed but was just extra stressful when the ability timeline said crystals were spawning and we got beams instead

#

or just not getting crystals at all before intermission

hunter weapon meme is true

In WH guide it says to use shadow dance twice on your opener if you have 2 charges but the opener section of the guide only has 1 use in the image. I'm assuming that you just continue with SS > Evisc for the duration of the second dance

shrewd lantern
#

since dagger sv is a real thing

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.

scenic relic
#

My king

limber ore
#

Is the shadowblades trickster bug fixed yet?

worthy shale
#

No

limber ore
scenic relic
#

Last question, should there ever be a time where you use ST without dance? How long should I keep ST off cooldown to use it with dance? Or should I just be better and always have a dance charge

hazy breach
#

You should hold dances to use when secret technique comes of cooldown

#

Not the other way around

scenic relic
#

Right, so if ST comes off cd and I don't have a dance charge then I'm just playing bad

frail path
#

I think the only times I've used natty SecTech is at the end of dungeon boss before shadow dance comes off of CD, and there is travel time after. First boss Maisara, for example

hazy breach
#

If you have reasonable haste (aka similar to whats recommended) every dance and sectech should be lined up well

#

If you have very low or insanely high haste you might need to hold a bit more

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target / Mythic+: Haste(~18%, roughly 650-700) > Critical Strike = Mastery > Versatility`

ill do that on lura today

man crazy how hard strike cleave with nimble would go with 150% crit damage

really makes you think

also crit dmg doesnt nimble

#

They knew this was coming because it's past of a systematic scientific test to show that you can actually break hearts

alpine wraith
#

meanwhile devourer

placid coral
#

So on opener without premed we are backstabbing until 7 cp then blades or are we waiting to blades until 5 secrets

alpine wraith
#

you get to 7

#

then wait until 60 energy

#

then send cds

wicked joltBOT
#

The following opener is recommended without Premeditation:
Shadowstrike-> Vanish +Shadowstrike -> Backstab until 7 cp + Guidon -> Cooldowns

wintry heart
#

How is premed vs non premed in keys

swift tinsel
#

storm makes up for premed

#

since you get so many more cp per cast and you can carry cp/sht into bosses or pulls

alpine wraith
#

yea no more using leftover cps for snd

#

that one is banned now

swift tinsel
#

I still need to break that habit lol

alpine wraith
#

it will take a lot for me to break that one

hey guys, is one Adamantite Sharpening Stone on Mainhand Dagger atm way to go or only Oil?

fiery fog
#

do you guys think its worth to not send any finishers ~20 seconds before phasing in beloren?
just get some superchargers and do some more egg dmg?

sullen hare
tiny jetty
#

How big a dmg decrease is premed now?

#

thank you

wise peak
#

I'm going to try and keep premed

sullen hare
wise peak
#

I think I'm too addicted to the point generation

fiery fog
#

logged kills dont do it

#

idk

sullen hare
#

Oh IDK then

alpine wraith
#

it is not more overall damage

#

but more egg damage

warm marlin
alpine wraith
#

so top logs wont do it

#

also iirc if boss gest to second egg it dies

#

so people just send normally on second p1

#

go do some m+ you mean sit in silvermoon getting declined

#

or listing your key and no one joining

hazy breach
#

I mean the 30 energy on SB is insanely whatever as sub

fiery fog

Genuinely doesnt matter besides the opener

Theres a lot more egregious bugs

alpine wraith
warm marlin
alpine wraith

but here you see big egger

hazy breach
#

I mean sure, they could fix any of the other bugs too

#

Which have a larger impact as we arent passively playing around them

dont ask too fast maybe they fix the bad DS bugs and buff it again

and it becomes better in m+

What is this supposed to mean

i walk around doing mechanics and stacking sc

cast a sectec on some lil eggs every now and then

i think it was a racism

It’s called racism

warm marlin

what does the 88 in your profile picture mean mate

#

alright, my guildie answered

lilac stag
#

I doubt it’s to support Eric lindros

vale pine

he had a roll yesterday

so falls into the area of uncertenty

so we still don't know if its fixed or not ^^

i would assume its fixed tho, if there is an official post

I recrafted twice yesterday was fine

Maaaaaaan I wish I didn't look this shit up, playing without premed feels so bad

fiery fog
#

i mean what are the odds

tepid raven
#

I mean you were never guaranteed to get 2

fiery fog
#

youre more likely to get 2 different items

tepid raven
#

It was just possibly unlucky

#

I heard a rumour it’s if you upgrade one of them

#

Then it adds it back to the pool

#

But dunno if actually true

spice island
#

Liking the damage profile though, my parse on Crown was nuts last night

or do a different key level

throw a dart and any could be true tbh

tepid raven
#

And you alter it somehow it could break it

spice island
#

Why did my parse go from 91 after the fight to 22 this morning :(

tepid raven
#

More kills

#

Should check the rankings tab too

lilac stag
#

250 rogues killed it after you and demolished you

spice island
#

But I just beat it last night!

tepid raven
#

Because you might have only compared to people in the first night

Rankings compares to everything

#

So is it true cloud cover reducing visibility is ruining keys for people?

winter current
#

only if you pop it in bad spots

lilac stag
#

so basically always

vocal rock
#

Lmao sick

timid rose
#

"ruining" is subjective 🙂

tepid raven
#

I mean ruining the keys is maybe a stretch but ye it’s visible for everyone and covers mechanics

stuck arrow
#

I don't think it's that bad tbh

fiery fog
#

its a bit too much

#

ngl

manic salmon
#

cloud cover on my first 3 lura pulls was funny my ass was NOT seeing those glaives

lilac stag
#

oh it fully covers some shit in pit

spice island
honest void
#

does cloud cover make me not see shit? yes

honest void
#

but so do DHs and their darkness

tepid raven
#

Visibility was never a strong part of the fight

honest void
#

so now I can be the visibility terrorist

manic salmon
spice island
#

Oh damn, hardly noticed ig, I play on lowest settings lol

lilac stag
#

imagine a DH pressing darkness

tepid raven
#

I think it’s worse for swirlies on the floor though tbh

honest void
#

happens to much for it to be in my imagination no more

tepid raven
#

You don’t really cloud cover when glaives are going out any time either

lilac stag
#

The vertical spell effect is certainly something.

warm marlin
south robin
#

Not possible for other players to toggle this effect off?

honest void
#

lol

#

lmao

#

no

tepid raven
#

I think the worst part is just when beams are out and you have to move

lilac stag
#

rogue: we’d like some fun visuals
bliz: enjoy inting your keys and making LFG invites harder

tepid raven
#

But even that wasn’t that bad

#

It was only if you hit it AS beams spawn

warm marlin
#

the hardest part seems to be dropping the cloud in a good spot tbh

keen dome
#

Have they made Shadow Blades cast without energy yet?

tepid raven
#

Cuz you can kinda just stand in it for most of the beam

warm marlin
#

we only made it a minute in at best

lilac stag
#

I’m waiting to get asked are you assa

warm marlin
#

but the wind chime is kinda running around

keen dome
#

sad...

wanton mantle
lilac stag
#

it’s not getting fixed

swift tinsel
#

its probs not getting fixed for at least a few months if at all

keen dome
#

But alas. Maybe in 12.1

lilac stag
#

they’ll just nerf it so we don’t play it

manic salmon
fiery fog
#

that new talent build really likes crit in ST holy

manic salmon
#

not unless you're about to run with beams

warm marlin
#

i was referring to beams yes

manic salmon
#

ah well ye then

warm marlin
#

seems like second ar comes up around that time a lot

manic salmon
#

outside of that its pretty still

#

ill just go ass for prog

lilac stag
warm marlin
#

I already race changed scath

#

i am committed now

manic salmon
#

blades doesnt come up for anything important

warm marlin
#

my beautiful 289 alleria legs have been catalysed

lilac stag
#

dw femdorf still good for sub

stable marlin
#

Is there anything special we are doing for Beloran to squeeze out more damage in egg phase? About to start prog tonight and want to be prepped as well as I can

lilac stag
#

save many SC going into egg

#

all the shadow strikes

#

None of the finishers. kekdog

warm marlin
#

you can fully stack superchargers over the fight and stack 14 sht and coup and snd and everything if your raid can handle phasing the boss correctly and killing eggs

plain gale
#

Guys, I'm gonna ask a stupid question. If I'm seeing a much larger representation of outlaw over sub on higher keys (>15/16) is that because sub is not that good once the keys get harder (damage profile and so on) or is it just because of the top rogue players preference/recent big buff?

stable marlin
#

So we just stop using finishers for what a minute?

#

Wild but I’ll give it a go lol

warm marlin
#

ye

#

im in first soak so i actually stop casting finishers after the first dance of the fight

manic salmon
#

oh man

warm marlin
#

lets me sectec first egg set and sectec coup second and still have them all for burn

manic salmon
#

i was in 1st soak so i popped blades after soak

lilac stag
manic salmon
#

and it was fine

ripe flame
manic salmon
#

but this... is next level

tepid raven
warm marlin
#

i dropped the incredible 0 parse but we killed on our literal first time hitting second egg

manic salmon
#

Yep

#

same here

warm marlin
#

with like 0.4s to spare

manic salmon
#

well, they did ask me to play assa when we killed it last week

warm marlin
#

my sc stacking prob makes the difference

manic salmon
#

whats the dps on egg like

tepid raven
#

I beat Nibren he saved me from 0

manic salmon
#

about 300k?

warm marlin
#

i did 290-300k every pull

tepid raven
#

Literally 100k more than what I did on our kill

warm marlin
#

except kill ofc where i didnt proc gaze on either burn and lowrolled crits

ripe flame
manic salmon
#

ye unluck

warm marlin
#

so only did 250/210

ripe flame
#

Or guidon?

warm marlin
#

ye guidon gaze

tepid raven
manic salmon
#

why would you want 2 on use

warm marlin
#

it simmed worse after yes

lilac stag
honest void
tepid raven
#

Ryldd had a cook before it was better for egg

manic salmon
#

you'd think gaze would be more worth than double on use

tepid raven
#

So made sense to me

manic salmon
#

i guess not

warm marlin
#

it was ahead 3k dps on first egg and behind 3k on second egg

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

compared to M gaze

#

ironically i would have been better off with it on kill seeing as my gaze decided not to proc

#

but oh well

hazy breach
#

I looked over some of the sims and its like, fairly similar burst numbers as last patch when he did all the janky prep

manic salmon
#

i was on assa duty last week, it was subpar on the 1st burn but i did do about 230k on the second burn so yeah

wicked joltBOT
manic salmon
#

but it felt really bad to play ass on beloren

hazy breach
#

But now you just do that normally and do way more outside of the burst too, without any of the janky prep

manic salmon
#

esp with me being 1st soak

cloud rover
tepid raven
#

I didn’t really have good assa gear

vale pine
#

!open

wicked joltBOT
#

The following opener is recommended without Premeditation:
Shadowstrike-> Vanish +Shadowstrike -> Backstab until 7 cp + Guidon -> Cooldowns

tepid raven
#

And some of the kills I saw in private logs looked close enough

tepid raven
#

So just played sub cuz that’s what I was planning for Laura anyway

warm marlin
manic salmon
#

will never not be funny

warm marlin
#

without the turbo jank

manic salmon
#

Yeah assa can be good its just that you need to highroll crits

lilac stag
#

we start paladins tonight.
sin or bench

manic salmon
#

and roll heads

lilac stag
manic salmon
#

my variance was 170k on bad pulls during 1st burn vs 240k on good pulls

stuck arrow
tepid raven
#

Ye the kills I saw were assa doing like 177k on kills for egg

lilac stag
tepid raven
#

And I was doing 190 on sub on a bad pull so

#

Decided to just go with the middle option

manic salmon
#

sub was way more consistent last patch

tepid raven
#

Less high roll

warm marlin
manic salmon
#

now sub is just better for the burn

lilac stag
tepid raven
#

Ye putting more damage into blades was always gonna push sub hard on that fight

#

6% damage buff overall that’s entirely in blades basically

#

Just makes it absurd for that fight

manic salmon
#

puzzlebox is all i've ever had

#

never seen a guidon drop

vale pine
#

20% more burst

manic salmon
vale pine
warm marlin
#

it didnt help they changed how the logs looked on beloren like 3 times over the week

hazy breach
warm marlin
#

i was going back to the same log and it was a different number every time

manic salmon
#

monka monka monka

vale pine
hazy breach
#

For burst windows its fairly competitve with our current trinkets already (like 1-2% behind)

vale pine
manic salmon
#

house of cards pog

hazy breach
#

Its a way better house of cards

manic salmon
#

we did that

hazy breach
#

As it has way more stats at the start, aka when we sectech

stuck arrow
warm marlin
#

uhh no it was our first egg burn logs

manic salmon
#

yeah

warm marlin
#

they just changed the times at which it started "phase 2"

#

initially opener sectec wasnt included

hazy breach
#

Im already embracing PTR of next season swapping all the haste breakpoints around as we wont have 20 seconds blades anymore

manic salmon
#

oh that

warm marlin
#

then it was

hazy breach
#

Excited for more confusion about stats and breakpoints

manic salmon
#

guidon not replaced for the entirety of the patch

manic salmon

Assuming there was a way to regen it

#

I wanna go back to haste being a meaningless stat for us >_>…..

swift tinsel
#

nah they're 100% gonna do it instead of adding that to Imp Sectech

tepid raven
#

Fuck it 4 set gives you a charge of sectec when you press dance

No one else will role on my vers mas gear…

Then sectec again

I don’t think the 2 sec charges is unrealistic since we’ll be losing 4 seconds on dance next tier

lilac stag
#

change premed to not be krangled

swift tinsel
#

could have blades grant a use of sectech

#

since that's when we want 2x anyways

#

and will be scuffed with 12.1

#

instead of dance since we just align dance and sectech currently

#

and with s2 haste not getting <=20 sectech cd will be probs kinda hard since we're probs gonna wanna get as close to 8sec dances as possible

nocturne tendon
#

just give old premed back pepeSadBlanket i want my jank-free 2 combo points

your chances to get loot is lower in a pug

because you can't verify who has a lockout

wait u can bonus roll even while locked?

thin sinew
# honest void i think pugging is bad for pugging

They should get rid of LFG tool and put everyone who wants to 'pug' into the same place where like minded people can get together
Then they can decide between themselves a schedule to do the raid.
as well as come up rules between each other.
I think a fitting name for it could be a clan or maybe even a guild

wit the changes increasing shadowstrike dmg,do we still care for using generatoirs at max cp in that niche senario?
