Premed: first buid you do max points + full sht stacks and we win
the problem is the bug
the buff prevents apex from working correctly
so the easiest solution would be to remove the buff
and replace the function with something else
yeah i know i am just day dreaming of changes that would give us dmg
did you check devourer ?
and our cleave isn't solved
haha ye
they have a bug which makes them do more

its a new class
hero class problematic
*spec
yeah i get it, but it was already dominating
for what its worth, dev is such a big outliner now
Can you cancelaura premed?
Like you have it for the opener and vanish strikes
And cancel it for dance
that things seem somewhat balanced else
i think the application is delayed
so doubt you can just macro cancleaura in your dance
but let me quick check
Why does blizzard hate us
but then ud be taking a talent just for the opener, no
if u gonna cancel it for the dance
yea but it does not work
so whatever
tbh the talent itself only on the opener and on vanish strikes would already be a gain
vs no talent
but blizz decided NO
i mean they saw us cancelling the apex and though
these fuckers
Taht would make them loose 600 subs
All 18 rogue players would be mad
Isnt there a communication channel with blizzard through CC like you guys who write articles in wowhead and your saying has justification? I mean its not much when x players whine about buffs, but there are reported bugs that impair the spec by people who have data about. Isnt there a comm line between you and blizz?
Public github or jira board or smth?
I think blizzard dont care and just sees what gets most attention
Unless they see the bugs themselves somehow
we wish
they care, but they also have a lot of feedback
Yeah but its not just “feedback”
yea fuu, wheres ur red phone
Its from people who write artifles
Clearly they know better than me or any x player
i would always assume no ill intention from them, rather a lack of man power or problems which are not easy to fix
Yes
But depends on how many Microsoft shares u own
we used to have dev here
It would be nice to have some feedback from blizzard as to where the priorities are about bugfixes
but the outlaw ppl happened
Guys Fuu is actually just a sadist, he loves rogue being bad, he can call John Blizzard RIGHT NOW if he wanted to but he CHOOSES not to
bugs end up as part of the game for years
What happened to outlaw?
Sub is stockholme syndrome bis🥲
nothing , but afaik some folks in outlaw channel were rly rude to the dev
Just post the thoughts.
Poison toggle, rogue tank spec. Someday they'll see it and do it.
Other classes are more petted. Dk gets instafix on bug two days ago for example
And they fix our stealth sound!!!!
eh yea but like 5 more bug remained
I think it's far more likely they just have a prioity list and the 30 blade energy cost isn't a critical bug
think its just about severity
not all bugs are equally important
like
and even this fix is questionable
Rogue code is using stealth 24/7 and cant be detected because blizzard employees have no true sight
was a funny thing to show to people
but did not effect gameplay, so also never fixed
the fix was easy, you just change one reference in the tooltip
A tooltip isnt the same as cost on a freebie though. I get the severity/priority, but this feels like gameplay instrusive prio thing
but due to how it did not matter at all
how long were we having that nightstalker bug
it probably had low enough priority to never get attention
subtlety
for 2 seasons could lose damage by not standing near enough to the boss
Acrobatic strikes outranging sectec clones
then we had a bug where logs would show us as rly bad, due to aug log hook stuff breaking things for us
Good times
which took 1 month to fix, introduced at the start of a patch
that was such a funny bug
all of DF until it got yeeted
are we expecting big fixes today.. 😮 so annoying
Is this related to sectec logging and the 100yard thing?
so for one month, we looked like dead last
Hey, sorry if this was already answered, but with the changes do we really have to backstab so much in the opener now to build cp before pressing our cooldowns?
this is still a thing though
yea they decided to delete the skills that were bugged
many bugs are either hard to fix
Only if you want, the dif isn't massive so you can run premed.
or just not high enough impact to get attention quickly
Ok thanks !
I mean by that logic we never get changes cuz we're a low pop class
the 100 yard thing exists since the spell was introduced i assume
You can do
Strike - guidon dance - strike - sectec i think
its nothing new
I kind of get the argument but I feel just saying it's low impact/low prio doesn't really help
but its also not rly making a diffrence
e.g. warcraftlogs could very easy
just attribute everything akaaris soul to sub rogues
if there is only 1 sub rogue in the raid
however, they also decided to not do that
and shift the responsibility on blizz
There's only so many hours in the day with a laundry list of bugs. You absolutely identify the high priority and fix them first
They dont always work on the most severe first
I mean yes, but is the solution for us to all just migrate to bigger pop classes so we don't get neglected forever? Like I feel that is the only natural conclusion
Its also a matter of how complicated it is to fix
also ye, premed can't be cancled
We don't know if they are / aren't working on a fix and how long it takes, either.
so F
funny bug not resetting combat on dummy in silvermoon, ported to raid and after 3hrs hearthstone back to silvermoon with insta in-combat state 🙂
I mean, or just play rogue? None of the bugs are critical or super impactful.
Maybe im tilted because i only play 3 classes. Rogue since vanilla dk since wrath and dh since legion. But rogue is bis its my main main😍
Are other specs as buggy? I know vdh has some bugs in apex as well.
I have found a bug for rogue
Im not top damage!!!
I don't have too much gripes about the current state of the bugs and whatnot, just having some doubts now though about what the future of this spec/class looks like
it's not comforting knowing we're always at the bottom of the prio list though
Also
Though sub plays a little weird atm
Damage wise we are totally fine besides on vanguard
This
Just dont compare rogue to devourer
I dn't think we're at the bottom of the prio list.
Because that wall in the garrison STILL hasne't been fixed
I think this isnt on the list anymore chief
look guys we're better than content that's been abandoned, ring the bell of celebration now
oh you guys got rid of the dust hater role, so sad...
WoW is the biggest mmorpg the market has ever seen. Its parent company is valued at $3.1 trillion. There is no excuse for bugs in the end product.
That's not how it works but k
Money doesnt fix bugs
If money resulted in progress we'd not have potholes in roads.
But alas, it's never how it works
it would fix bugs if they knew how to manage their business
lol
People fix bugs
People need time
But what happens is
People need too much time but dont get it
lmao
ye
I will always main rogue, i just wish there was a better way to communicate stuff from peopl that actually have skin in the game to blizzard AI dev team because at the end of the day the high end user and theorycrafters know better
Also, not every developer is a bug fixing dev.
I doubt Microsoft care or do anything about WoW specifically. There are so many levels of corporate management...
Some steal some kind of milk in the office 
Like, I think it's really worthwhile learning how development goes, how stuff is done. Because people have so little perspective on this stuff and it results in dehumanisation of people just doing their job
Ofc we are bottom of the bottom 😉 guilds will Bench rogues thats why i dont Touch him until Meta
Damn, but the bench is comfy
especially vanguard's bench
I hope we kill beloren this id so we dont have to do vanguard for 6 vault slots
I believe in you making an omlette
is it purple though ?
hah
I was in a pug last night that kept wiping on the egg at 30% trying to do the burn strat. And it was non-stop "GET A DH. GET A MONK"
yeah man those two are gonna make people push their buttons better.
I ran a sim after matching my stats to an Assassination Rogue build, and it keeps telling me to drop Mastery and stack Crit. Is it actually realistic to drop Mastery all the way down to 500 and push Crit to 1200?
Considering the practical side of things, would it be enough to just stick with my current gear and use a Crit Phial instead?
on sing target
single
💯

classic
Before nerf WW was the goat for beloren though
Yes but it is going to make people do 30% more DPS on the egg
The monk is doing that
are all re crafting issues resolved? like items just straight up disappearing
I've heard people have recrafted fine and nobody I know who has, has had the issue so
maybe?
how can i see how much haste this sim has, without counting for myself? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9Go5V1PRNTWhsnhEK3t2eC
Well true
But still
We recleared yesterday up to dragons and chim before progging beloren again
No leather tokens
Still have hero hands and shoulders
Pit bonus rolls gave me the 2 items that are useless
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
Btw bonus rolls
People who used them before the bugfix get the rolls back
But keep the items

yea, the whole pool resets too
Still capped on crests, and the loot pool isn't set so you'll be about the same relative gain
exactly
only a very very tiny minority will have benefited
surely i'll high roll this time around
Since you can't rekill bosses, if you didn't get the best item right away, you are a week behind on that without the refund
Youve gotten the item you wanted, then you are just further ahead
"ahead" i mean what are we talking about. with no crests there is no difference as its the same ilvl
It's not ideal but I think it's a fine solution.
vs hc
I will suffer double belt but I will also still be gear neutral
i get that it feels unfair, but if you think about it twice you should come to iGestalts conclusion as well
The only way it wouldn't be fair is if I could go rekill Myth Chim I guess but eh
Don't worry king, the alnseer gaze will surely be in your vault this week
we pray
!macro
Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Light's Potential
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
Anyone know if recrafting is fixed?
i recrafted day 1 of patch on both rogues (4 items) had no issues
!up
recrafted neck yesterday, no issues
if we used bonus rolls before the bug fix and get them refunden - are any items we got still ticked off the loot pool?
no
if you got an item
you get an refund of the bonusroll, because the list would not include it
Do Mythic raid bonus rolls also get refunded?
you get an refund if you rolled before the bug was fixed
from what i understand
the problem with mythic is, you only have one lockout
so if you only need one specific item, you can't roll again this week
True
if you need multiple, its whatever
so worse case is
you only need lets say gaze
and you did not get it in your first roll this week
because next week, you can get a dublicate of the item you got this week
yeah that would be shitty xD
as the bool did not shrink
Not for me though cause I got my mythic gaze 😎
Ez free loot I guess xD
you essentially got a free roll
which is why people would have liked for everyone to just get extra rolls ^^
the majority will benefit from the refunds
True
tho we are also mostly crest limited
soo
(unless you are like me, and haven't seen gaze drop since week 1 normal)
haha
i even pugged heroic yesterday
but we got 3 loot pieces in a over 20 man raid
(because people pug for bonusrolls with lockout)
Should drop more loot
i mean, it makes sense for the system
less players = less loot, and everyone with lockout gets removed from the loot pool
however having 3 vs. 6 items drop
dramatically changes the chance of getting one specific item
what do i do here? Do i just send Dance+sectec but i wont have second dance in shadowblades
Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been having some trouble getting good parses as a sub rogue, and I’m struggling to figure out what I’m doing wrong. It actually feels like my parses have been getting worse week after week, which is really frustrating, especially since I finally got my BiS trinket this Wednesday. If anyone could offer some help, I’d really appreciate it.
do a !log with a warcraft logs record
or ask specific questions
it is rly hard to answer "what did i do wrong", without context
is it a specific boss
e.g. first boss mythic
if thats the case, how much did you pad on adds?
how efficient did you use your cooldowns, maybe you did hold them too much
Are the refunds out already?
Hold
ye
okay one thing for sure
you need to unbind your trinket from dance
the haste buff applies later
can take up to 1 sec
so by doing this
you lose a lot of your trinkets effect
you also might want to macro dance + secret
so you don't have this big gap between shadow dance use
and your first cast
this is secounds you lose, which easily can cost you a cast in sahdow dance
oh, i forgot to post in the thread
Ok thanks a lot, I should cast the trinket before if I want to maximize it's effect if I understand correctly what you say?
mb
How is this spec right now for M+ and Raid?
!opener
The following opener is recommended without Premeditation:
Shadowstrike-> Vanish +Shadowstrike -> Backstab until 7 cp + Guidon -> Cooldowns
this opener is nutz
Hmm
Can you update that command to include opener you were talking about earlier?
!aa
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
If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).
okay idk if im doing something wrong, im talented into Airborne Irritant yet when doing the affix it only hits 1 orb. came back to rogue after a MULTI expansion break from the class
@vale pine Have you simmed AA optimization outside Supercharge in Dance?
Good. Even meta classes can fail in the wrong hands
Was looking at my log and AA Evis is doing more than Evis (During BL under Blades)
wondering if its only those who used it in the same dungeon i used both mine but seperate dungeons
if you cast blind on the orb it doesnt aoe 
well your table didnt update so you'll probably get refunded for both
need to hit an actual mob
just weird that people got free loot
RIP
Like see, why wouldn't it work ? They are just doing it on purpose
you can send a natty sectech and bank up on the dances
short answer is that it spreads from the initial target but the orbs insta dissapear so it doesent spread
its a funny lil thing
Guys, is sub still better for raid?
does not seem to be that impactful
My boys wanna respec me to outlaw(
how comes taking premed over silent storm is a dps loss in ST when the sim doesn't even cast sstorm 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ty! Still kinda crazy Evis dmg distribution (full fight)
!premed
- The first Ancient Arts cannot proc while Premeditation is up, which is why it is a DPS loss to talent into it as the Shadowstrike clones with rotten up can crit insanely hard.
- There is also a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts 3. (This does not matter much numerically, but feels weird)
strike does some rly good damage
makes sense
its why taking a util heal talent is better than premed xD
No premed feels bad tho
Nah
yes
+1 this
actual diabolical
idk how the fuck it's not fixed yet
It's 3% dps worth of mental damage
but they instantly fix the stealth sound
its 100% just some left over distact code
probably because we have enough ressouces
I love this opener! Easy, comfy, repeatable and always the same
i assume the distract spell clone still has the 30 energy cost
but hard to know
havent tried it but what if we put distract on cd and use blades?
only have 3 non myth track items left now chest+wrist+1ring
Shiv?
shiv -.-
nothing, it still uses 30 energy
Doesn't change anything
shush, ez global for 15 energy
Why is there Shiv used?
I don't want to "manually" wait a second
You're some lazy mf 💀
That rules
vibe playing is goated
I guess Blizz used vibes to code the cloud
is that like vibe coding, but for games?
It works and I wasn't even padding
it lost you 12k dps
Because people are good
can see right there
and robots are bad

I either vibe code or I don't code 
huge
nice
Nah, that guy blading the adds at 5.30
real
Tru
Join the shiv church
1 more coup in blades each blade
joining the churge of shiv
i just wont check
question: is their anything as sub we do pre-key insert
cant get mad at something i dont know
its almost neutral for me
blessed choices
Ignorance is bliss
ignorance is bliss and I choose to be blissful too
These extra words cost you dearly iGestalt
u can pre-dance
they did
beaten in posting, a shameful thing
Wouldn't show my face around here for a while if I were you
worse things to get beaten too
are there
The punch?
like the pizza table in 2nd grade
damn, that's true
so you get the tiny ass slice
Stop talking about pizza man
We need a tier list of things to get beaten too. I think that might be number 1? Posting number 2.
the punch can be number 3
wait, what is a pizza table
and why was it not part of my education class
It's like a lookup table
when the teacher bought pizza for the entire class
the little table that comes with your pizza, so you can put the dip on it
Same I'm just sticking to premed on luura
which means you get 1 tiny slice of pizza but if you arent fast you get the worst one
we never got pizza ::/
Better timing with premed anyways in p1
Fuu only got beaten, and not to the punch
in was ripped off, childhood trauma created
Austrian education
(i am joking, if thats not obviouse)
I once got popcorn during a university lecutre because the lecturer made us watch a documentary
that was a pretty good day
nicu
Assuming you’re german this is the most german thing ive ever heard. Bro had nutrition day instead of pizza day

German with a strange accent
any ideas how to spend restored bonus rolls this week? I got guidon from first roll but already killed chimearus so no raid rolls
droptimizer says NP rings but I still have hc legs and chest
He regularly gets to da choppa though
nexus has a chest piece to catalyst
So NP is probably good value
using premed for me is 0.5% more dmg

thats swiss
chimaerus also has chest and I will roll it next reset anyway 😄
hell yeah buddy
already have mythic chest
Hell yeah, I can continue to justify using shiv for that sweet 1 combo point for only 15 energy
Does it have a lot of downtime?
there do be a chest in nexus point
so not a bad place to spend them
not really, u are always pressing btns
cool as heck rings, catalyst chest, a cloak that exists, a bad dagger, and gloves.
not the worst dungo
Thanks imma give it a go
i got 15 resi, but getting invites for 16 is impossible
Have you tried applying with a funny note
i havent, ideas?
Put half a joke
A good, positive joke
they get the other half if they invite you
One that lives rent free in my head is:
Why do rogues like daggers?
They're a fan of knives.
hahaha
Someone applied with it to a heroic undermine pug and it's stuck with me since
Having a good, positive and funny note goes so far to letting people take a gamble on you
I've had premed +500 vs no premed before changing crucible to gaze
i noticed ppl getting fking outlaws twice instead of me, wtf is happening in this game
Premed bug fixed?
nope
ofcourse, and no news on the cloud cover energy cost assuming
Queue as outlaw
Change to sub before key starts
Is shadow part of Shadowstrike Apex rank 1 clone?
i dont understand how general perspective changes from "sin is meta" to "outlaw is meta", like, what are those ppl reading?
being a rogue, does anybody care about meta? 😄
Prob looking at this
10k runs vs 800? 😄
fucking zac
wheres this from?
mythicstats
premed 
Have you guys noticed that sometimes we can't use dance continuously? especially when pick tfd
Dam, Shadowstrike is so strong PV is simming over Veiltouched. Prob worse on any fight with adds
Very squishy hard to play without premade group/healer at higher levels
Burst damage not great either
ye arcane got the double trouble
30% nerf into 40% nerf
and who knows what fire is
and frost does not have cheat death and all defensives are reactive
so they flop like fish
does the reroll refund has happened yet ?
mage does good damage tho
!premed
- The first Ancient Arts cannot proc while Premeditation is up, which is why it is a DPS loss to talent into it as the Shadowstrike clones with rotten up can crit insanely hard.

Is Ancient Arts not procing from premed a but of a feature ?
Oke so is a bug
- The first Ancient Arts cannot proc while Premeditation is up, which is why it is a DPS loss to talent into it as the Shadowstrike clones with rotten up can crit insanely hard.
- There is also a bug that makes it so while Premeditation is active you cannot get a refund nor spawn the clone from Ancient Arts 3. (This does not matter much numerically, but feels weird)
Is this bug since this patch ?
you also dont get the copies from the premed cps on strike
that one also helps make no premed better
was already a bug before
so in the opener after getting 7 cps, using CDs and secret tech, the next SS grants you half your cp bar
and they already had to work on it
At this point this is a "feature"
what is the new battle res item to buy from AH?
im not sure how to utilize our first art in the opener after secret tech
or we cast SS 3 times consecutively
Emergency Soul Link
guys what are the stat prios for sub can anyone tell pls 700 is the haste break but for the others ?
first pin
soooooooo, blizzard just apologized on twitter for the state of the patch 12.0.5 launch, they are working around the clock to fix things, just days after telling everyone that they abolished crunchtimes.
this for sure means rogue bugs will be fixed in a couple of days ? right guys ? /s
no
Claude API tokes are getting expensive and they are getting people to fix shit kekw
@vale pine at this point the faster opener is strike, vanish + strike, shiv

Thought shiv didn't generate on bosses?
That is 5 cp no ?
at what point do we include shuriken toss
XD
usually 6. I honestly don’t recall if raid boss won’t generate.
How to fix rogue bugs
fastest opener
Someone tried to cook it yesterday and said when they tested it on boss dummy it didn't work
Training dummies don’t always act normal
Is this what we're gonna start doing?
Listen now. You go far, 2 Shuriken toss 1 sec before pull + sprint to get close to boss, vanish Strike and normal opener kekw
Untill clones miss if not in lust. 
Boomy opener
i did test that opener, and it felt fine
this reminds me of hacha cooking DM stacks maxing in DF preseason 😄
!opener
The following opener is recommended without Premeditation:
Shadowstrike-> Vanish +Shadowstrike -> Backstab until 7 cp + Guidon -> Cooldowns
should be fine you just need 1 sht
is the most consistent and easiest to execute
You ever tested the opener where you take this niche talent called "premeditation" and you press strike and then you payphone while pressing your buttons without a care in the world?
I do think in raid that’s likely more than fine and we’re just back to the whole strike dance shit
and you never see the cool wm+clone big crits from strike
which server tick did you hit
fastes opener ist -> Logout -> Delete Character -> Create Character -> DH -> Specc -> Devourer
oh ye, thats fine too
my delays usually ended up not too high in testing, so fine with me
And then you dont find a group cause everyone already has a devourer in their group or is playing devourer themselves
My alt devourer gets into groups so easily
Its criminal
281 main rogue doesnt get shit
274 dev dh gets insta invited
Remember when people complained this was a 2 button spec? 
People in my guild still talk mad shit that sub is boring and easy as fuck now
I've seen no other class with optimisations like rogue still
i mean
now people will say the spec is easy
or plays itself
while many still struggle
Tbh 2 button can still have complexity
Also ppl say dev dh is easy as fuck but the dmg spread on statistics says otherwize
!up
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yea actually even with 650 i can hit all the globals most of the time so 700 can check out with that one
I think that is people only looking at devs rotation and ignoring completely how it plays in reality with movement optimsation and stuff in an environment with any mechanics
well it is the same as surrender to madness priest
in a way
some did double the dmg of everyone in 2 mins
others died in 1 min
while doing mechanics
one of the things i probably need to be a game designer to understand is
how can subtlety always get stuff reduced
to then get it added back in a worse form
ahahah we talked about this the other day
Is this macro-able?
e.g. we started off doing rly good aoe
- BOOM -> AoE nerf
We had a log review where my 2 dev dh friends checked their dmg on first boss mythic and the difference was that one waited 10s to pop meta and did giga dmg bc of that, otherwise same amounts of casts and everything
our cleave was decent with nimble flurry
- Nimble flurry reworked -> now our cleave is within if not the worse in game
look like i have to come back to sub im too slow to play outlaw 😭
our burst and flexibility was good
- Nerf Burst hard, remove Flagellation (which was in part why our burst was so good)
- Remove flexibility
Im so tempted to fish for outlaw weapon, but ill want to throw myself off a bridge in raid i think
clones are just worse legion WM too
rogue dev might be a salty pvp priest, probably
so bottom line, we still have:
- Less flexibility
- Less burst
- No cleave
- good aoe but not outstanding
would be a shame if nimble would work again with strike and maybe on top with storm ( 😄 )
Maybe they consider sub to be a design failure they refuse to fix, so they keep it relatively weak. People outside this disc doesnt seem to enjoy the spec when theyre "forced" to play it
so can we go back to what it was? please? pretty please?
If everyone suffers equally no one suffers?
to be fair, we are not terrible
for me it just soo many thing to track i tried it and i feel sub is still better for me
its just difficult to understand why changes happen, if they don't improve the general
we are not, dmg is fine i just dont enjoy the current playstyle mostly because i was used to something else
also i hate haste
you get used to outlaw with muscle memory
Yeah outlaw is a spec where you just gotta figure out the like 4 things to look at and the rest is muscle memory
yeah can we go versa/mastery and be tanks again?
it's fun but too much button pressing can get tiresome
nope vers is weak
I really enjoy the feeling of playing it rn tbh
wonder what those people say when they test assassination
i mean like we used to have before the midnight changes, remove haste etc
I dont like the cloud bc ppl just start moving away from it every time
But the cloud itself is cool
2000iq spec because you need to track bleeds
i just realized that other people can see the cloud and it annoys the hell out of them
hardest spec in wow
I have noticed since this last patch, that when I pop shadow dance, and shadowstrike twice to get ancient arts to proc, and usually after that I have enough secret technique stacks to continuously spam shadow strike →evic→evic, For some reason its not procing ancient arts anymore. (as often)
Also, it seems that shadowstrike from stealth is not or most of the time not giving me a full stack of combo points?
Has something changed?
Ideally, I would love for them to build upon things rather than redesigning things.
(i am joking, but dot management is within one of the things people struggle with)
they cant, did they fuck this up like today?
(even if its rly easy to do)
i'm not entirely sure in raids but in dungeons they 100% can see it
LMAO
When i tried it very briefly the DoT management feels a lot weirder than before
In TWW it felt better idk
there is an irony
yea itd be nice if they built on twws3 sub (while making it more accessible) but it is what it is
that the most positive feedback for assassiantion i saw in channels ended up at the end of bfa
Yeah ppl were complaining that you cannot see shit in the ground like swirlies lmao
join key > firsts pull>tank gathers big pack> smokebomb cus cds> tank runs cus cant see
at the time where people actually had so much haste, you would overflow on energy constantly
so people liked assassiantion the most if it played the least like assassiantion

yeah i was asking cus yday in raid i was the only one not seeing things in cds and was wondering how can they see it in dungeons
I think theres a case to be made that those ppl just wanted to play outlaw
i think its just that a lot of these who gave feedback
But didnt like pirate
are not assassiantion mains
they probably played other classes and rogue as an alt
or diffrent specs of rogue primarely
its the same as for subtlety
probably some graphicsd settings might hide it for performance, or raids in general
where outlaw palyers often give feedback that the new version is the best they ever played
at least we got some visuals!
while subtlety mains will point out the many flaws and shortcommings it has
and the whole community as enemies
because the flexibility in design, was part of the appeal of the spec
still, i would not say its bad
subtlety is fun
just simple and buggy
really? capped blade flurry and RTB rework were ass IMO
I mean it's the same on outlaw
players new-ish to the spec think its amazing, the mains think it's too stripped down now
for subtlety not outlaw
OP confirmed it's dungeon only, might be very fun in big pulls
basically outlaw palyers who talk subtlety
are more likely to say the new iteration is good
funnily enough we went back to WoD sub in a way but just 5x less bursty
at least those i saw typing in here
where finishers and builders hit kinda hard
but just the numbers are not there
because we have dance so often
and blades is not a super cd
Some Guildmate of mine was like, hey you got Smokebomb back and then i got sad 🙁
It's only good bc i was too stupid to figure out the TWW one 
i liked dust quite a bit
i don't know the exact reasons
let me think about what i want to do
i think the simplicity is def. part of it
instead of just following a paved way
fucking DH took our Smokebomb in Legion, never forgotten, never forgiven.
who wants to bet nightstalker is back some day
as thats the most likely thing blizz is willing to do
i don't think they would revert changes
or re-design things, unless they are severely broken
Is that why they removed Smoke Bomb so they could make Darkness?
sub kit was definitely bloated before, to me it feels bland how it plays now, like you have zero to no agency on the damage profile or decision making
😭
exactly
the dynamic and burst was unique
That’s what I’ve been telling myself for years, smokebomb would be so fucking nice for rogues and the raids.
Wdym you can delay sec tecs by a total of 10s every 90 seconds so cool
but it makes sense that they removed it, if the goal of midnigth was to cut down and homagionize the game
you can still move things around
but now you will do quite a bit less dmg
overall
well yes
before you had more wiggle room
Insanity, tbh Darkness fits Rogue moreso than DH anyways
I mean. In what way did Darkness fit DH class theme u til Devourer lol. Their whole thing is Fel & Chaos not shadows + darkness 
you can still not use spells for x amount of time
but you are limited by secret technique
you can still get chargers and use sec tech outside dance to get unseens etc
but you will nuke your dmg overall
becuase you line up thinks to secret
it is a funny thing we can do on belo ren
and not using secret is a punishing option
it's fun when there's only one add in the pack remaining and no one wants to pop short CDs
we can completely nuke it with full chargers plus unseens
Yea we should get it back idk wtf they were thinking
if i don't pop dance it'll live for 10 seconds lmao
like don't get me wrong hacha
Just delete darkness & give us smoke bomb back, ez clap
Or just yeet darkness from dh to rogue
and sacrafice a lot of damage
& still give us smoke bomb back
tbh not many can get chargers or unseens like us but still our dmg is clown sometimes
so its not flexibiltiy by design
belo ren is just a special boss
unlike many others
where you can literally afk for 40 secs
to get resources to blast egg
where before, you could very much decide more, especially with dust
tbh one of the only fights that felt really good popping cooldowns is L'ura on crystals
even if it had a 10 min cd
It’s joe for sub ngl
the other fights are sort of whatever
This iteration is almost at the level of DF s1/2
we are not even mid on lura crystals
at least we can snipe a bit with sec tech etc
I thought it was odd how outlaw got prep but sub didn’t get prep like huh??? Blizzard???
- me waiting for the slow DKs to grip all of them *
it is just the weird thing about sub
so i can pop sectech
we kinda stole dreadblades
then now it is different again
but we lost prep and dance for a while too
nimble with last seasons TWW set was very good
its one thing i probably heavily disagree with others in here
it felt more natural to start using aoe spells, especially finishers with 5 or more targets
tbh the kit is so small now that i wouldn't mind having rupture back or something similar for prio/2-3 targets
old nimble would give us back a good niche, even if it would be only 50% instead of the 70%
I agree with this tbh
wdym disagree? dont we all like doing eviscerates that cleave on 2-4 ?
That niche being good at everything?

could someone help me check my logs why I'm doing so bad :(? Just parsed a 7 on Imperator in Mythic
Agreed fuu. I’ve been running for ST in dungeons for prio dam. When I’m straight AoE it just feels wrong now
the nimble change was a big discussion topic
Old nimble back would be so nice
Really like the funnel niche
oh i missed that ig
because you just used bp and storm on 2
Funnel hasn’t been a niche since bfa
I guess I don’t mean niche, just I enjoy the play style
so your prio and cleave damage with BP/storm was good enough to make some people happy
So they’ve backed themselves into a corner. Strong ST finisher. strong AoE finisher. Zero cleave.
its prio not funnel
Cleave =! funnel
prio just means, you keep doing good damage to one target
so there is a diffrent trade off
we also had flag funnel in shadowlands, but yeah shuriken combo was the goat
the benefit of funnel just went down, it was never zero
Funnel means increasing your prio damage by utilising additional adds (to gain stats/resources...)
exactly
they could nerf BP & do a choice node that adds Evis Cleave or increases BP to current values.
Another problem is that the Rogue community has somehow come to accept that you can't excel at everything, while some other classes have had no weaknesses whatsoever for years.
funnel is when you can get benefits for your single target output from more targets
Again. We haven’t had funnel since shuriken combo.
Flag gave you some priority damage. That’s it
Saying other classes had no weaknesses is disingenuous at best
That’s flat out wrong
is there a bug atm where something with rogue will pull more in m+
that would be locks
A lot of People in here are really good at only remembering 1-2 outliers and ignoring all the other areas.
its just 2 things:
- the lashes did not a lot of damage
- the combo point economy changed, so you didn't rly get benefits from aoe over st during cooldowns
it was just a prio target. You wanted it to live long enough anyways
this is true
people often talk in trade offs and justify/agree with nerfs
sub arguable has funnel now because you can choose to build with storm in aoe and spend with evis
but it's not good funnel
when it makes rogue as a whole worse
you lose a shitton of damage doing it
A lot of folks wouldn’t know what to do if they got to play zul and see real funnel, and at the same time played keys with tanks that had no idea how to pull for a sub rogue. 
zul was one fight
yeah zul funnel was bonkers
and funnily enough orgozoa
which was a similar fight
did not see subtlety played
besides funnel
I still remember muscle losing his shit in here on the daily with how fucked the spec was because it did no aoe and you needed tanks to pull adds to boss
also funnel implementations diffrer
e.g. assassiantions funnel
did not trade off damage in aoe
while subtlety had a hefty cost
they traded off all their ST
depends on what iterations we talk
but ye
funnel is a nice benefit, if you are tuned well
mmhm
AoE/Mythic+
CUQAphyM11FofNMFa1K3vFEDUCgx2MAAAAAwsMGLTYbZMmZMjxDMzMzsNmthZstNzMzMzMGMmZZAAAAYwYAjZxwADMLahWshZAzMYGDA
check pins
but if other parts of the spec are missing
when a spec is tuned well enough and does funnel
I’d like them to give us a choice node. Add cleave or buff BP. Tune current BP accordingly
it becomes very powerful in keys
yep
but unlike subtlety
these funnel specs where allowed to exist for quite some time
before nerfed/changed
subtlety had one fight in the first tier
Tuning has changed since bfa
it's hypocritical of blizz
and was immidiatly nerfed to the ground
sub aint ded it does fine
sub is honestly not bad in raid except for paladins
Is there like a more optimised AOE rotation? I am running the one in the guides and got like 500-600k sometimes on pulls, but other classes seem to have much higher
that 1 fight is dragging the spec down on overall metrics
true true, how come ?
I literally did 0 damage to them
It’s mid
overall stats means nothing for actual progress
exactly
sub is the best spec on the last two
sub is also the prog spec for alleria
outliners are allowed to exist now
What's the actual %breakdown for sub damage of phys/magic
i'm still doing my keys as sub bc i dont have the puzzlebox, and climbing consistently. i think the added protection during shadowblades is huge
Lura is the only fight that matters
but im only 3469
lol those are the most important fights
rest are some mickey mouse shit
it is not bad
see sub during TWW S3
the content is also easy enough
sub was dogshit on the ST fights
to make it not matter much
the diffrence in tww was
we could point with burst and flexibility
which would make us rly good if we still had it this tier
i see the point regarding overall metrics
overall has problems
but you could use any spec to kill the first 4-5 bosses
because wcl does not filter out certain damage
What I miss is the fact that it was good to hold your coup de grace for like 10s
Was good for those burst moments
sub is one of the better specs in the game as a whole
on Lura
one of the few classes that has dmg for all crystal sets in p1
and does really good boss dmg while doing so
i was topping our heroic clear and this was before cloud cover buff
What's the cloud cover buff?
+6%
to our dmg
also i feel like a lot of people are gonna have a tough time playing outlaw and doing memory game
6% overall, and moved more of our dmg into sblades
unless you have really good muscle memory on the spec
why?
you just look at a picture
i guess addon makes it easy
and move
we haven't used an addon yet
its tanks and healers doing the inputs
because our guild couldn't figure out how to set it up
you just a passenger princess cuh
The memory game is just solved by an addon if you are doing mythic literally payphone
so we're literally listnening to RL call and doing it from there lol
you legit enable it in Northern sky raid tools
it's omega scuffed
i dunno why they couldn't figure it out
on chimera do i need to log myself? i heard rogues saying if leader is not in same grp as u going down ur log is fucked and secret technique is not on your dmg
The outliers, even current dev, aren’t as egregious as zul sub was. None the less I think overall they’ve done a better job with tuning up until MN and well, they’re doing very little right with all the bugs.
if they're still doing that i'll tell them
public beloren parses
literally only sub rogues
not a single sin or law
looks like public lura parses only 3 sub rogues
sub is still really strong when it matters. Also tanky as hell, even more so dropping premed
yeah sub is good
i mean it is the same as people saying we have burst they never lived the cata or wod or even bfa sub rogue
rn we are a 20 sec spec
can I actually go premed rn or is straight int?
that sometimes has more cps
alleria you also have to go to 19th place to find a non sub parse
Am I the only one going crazy over the second shadow dance not activating ??????
We’re fury warriors with cds 
you cant use dance while dance is active
...
you say that you just do this, but then you have multiple people posting this image in your guild discord
I know
OH BOI
we had some funny stories
of pc illeterate people
that could not follow the simple guide
of reloe
downloading stuff from github can be hard
we definitely didn't have to get people to screenshare on discord
or so ive heard
oof
@tribal blade night one of paladins. Almost always last to die. Above tank dmg. 
HUGE
i hate that fight so much
Fr pallies is ass
No skyfury is meh. May have to play assa idk
oh damn that's tough
Call the raid atp, no skyfury is insane
I'm logging on to my arms alt for vanguard
mainly to destroy Senn's shields
the TTS being in the effect audio channel is fucking with me.
the only issue is sin feels like complete paper on that fight
my audio cues to make up for my eyesight are now fucked
I hate blizzard rn
More than DKs do
i tried setting up the in game audio cue stuff
but it was kinda wonky
couldn't figure out how to only have some thing enabled and not others
so just ditched it
It was on the master channel. And you could turn effects channel down. Now there’s no way to get just the TTS louder
yeah it seemed half cooked
terrorists with their black box shit
there are some cool things on there i would have liked to have enabled
like there's one TTS to announce when targets hit a certain hp threshold
I have to see if MRT has more control over the audio thank NS
which is fire for sin
might have yeah
I can set the abilities to dumb sounds, but not being able to hear the raid warnings is 
hope they can figure out how to properly show coup on CDM
and give it a sound alert
hey what rogue spec is currently the best spec for 13-15keys?
they can’t figure out how to deploy a patch. I think they gave up on the cdm
for that key range sub/outlaw
Whatever you’re best at. Likely sub or outlaw.
sin is mega depression when stuff dies in 10 seconds
thanks
i did a 16 or 17 seat today where in 1st pull everyone focused the same mob
and then it died when i still had like half my DM+KB left on it
i was extremely sad
get fucked prio dmg
should be ending that pull ~500k to being like 250-300k
reviewing ones own gameplay is probably the best way to improve, no?
that and watching what rank 1 players do
and looking at their logs
