#

the easiest solution to premed would be to rework it

#

to just give sht stacks

grizzled hornet
fiery fog
#

Or just dont give us a better apex talent

#

Thats not reliant on something like that

vale pine
#

the buff prevents apex from working correctly

#

so the easiest solution would be to remove the buff

#

and replace the function with something else

grizzled hornet
#

yeah i know i am just day dreaming of changes that would give us dmg

vale pine
#

we just got a 6% buff

#

its just too bad that most other classes did get buffs too

fiery fog
#

Wait

#

What if we use a cancelaura

#

Would that work

grizzled hornet
vale pine
#

and our cleave isn't solved

vale pine
#

they have a bug which makes them do more

#

its a new class

#

hero class problematic

#

*spec

grizzled hornet
#

yeah i get it, but it was already dominating

vale pine
#

for what its worth, dev is such a big outliner now

fiery fog
#

Can you cancelaura premed?
Like you have it for the opener and vanish strikes
And cancel it for dance

vale pine
#

that things seem somewhat balanced else

vale pine
#

so doubt you can just macro cancleaura in your dance

#

but let me quick check

alpine wraith
#

they changed it and now you cant cancelaura it

#

used to be able to

fiery fog
#

Why does blizzard hate us

void ocean
#

but then ud be taking a talent just for the opener, no

#

if u gonna cancel it for the dance

alpine wraith
#

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

fiery fog
#

Next thing they cancel us and remove rogue from the game

#

All bugs solved

obsidian crag
fiery fog
#

All 18 rogue players would be mad

foggy estuary
#

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?

fiery fog
#

I think blizzard dont care and just sees what gets most attention
Unless they see the bugs themselves somehow

vale pine
#

they care, but they also have a lot of feedback

foggy estuary
#

Yeah but its not just “feedback”

void ocean
#

yea fuu, wheres ur red phone

foggy estuary
#

Its from people who write artifles

#

Clearly they know better than me or any x player

vale pine
#

i would always assume no ill intention from them, rather a lack of man power or problems which are not easy to fix

obsidian crag
void ocean
fiery fog
#

It would be nice to have some feedback from blizzard as to where the priorities are about bugfixes

void ocean
#

but the outlaw ppl happened

vale osprey
#

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

vale pine
obsidian crag
vale pine
#

its just people are more upset now

#

because patches are even less stable than usual

foggy estuary
#

Sub is stockholme syndrome bis🥲

void ocean
keen dome
#

Just post the thoughts.

#

Poison toggle, rogue tank spec. Someday they'll see it and do it.

foggy estuary
#

And they fix our stealth sound!!!!

void ocean
keen dome
#

I think it's far more likely they just have a prioity list and the 30 blade energy cost isn't a critical bug

vale pine
#

not all bugs are equally important

#

like

void ocean
vale pine
#

flagellation did show the wrong tooltip for years

#

during blades

fiery fog
#

Rogue code is using stealth 24/7 and cant be detected because blizzard employees have no true sight

vale pine
#

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

foggy estuary
vale pine
#

but due to how it did not matter at all

void ocean
#

how long were we having that nightstalker bug

vale pine
#

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

fiery fog
#

Acrobatic strikes outranging sectec clones

vale pine
#

then we had a bug where logs would show us as rly bad, due to aug log hook stuff breaking things for us

fiery fog
#

Good times

vale pine
#

which took 1 month to fix, introduced at the start of a patch

keen dome
#

that was such a funny bug

tepid trellis
summer peak
#

are we expecting big fixes today.. 😮 so annoying

foggy estuary
vale pine
#

so for one month, we looked like dead last

scarlet wolf
#

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?

fleet wharf
vale pine
#

then we had a gameplay bug with replicating shadows

#

took a year to fix

alpine wraith
#

yea they decided to delete the skills that were bugged

vale pine
#

many bugs are either hard to fix

keen dome
vale pine
#

or just not high enough impact to get attention quickly

fleet wharf
#

I mean by that logic we never get changes cuz we're a low pop class

vale pine
fiery fog
vale pine
#

its nothing new

fleet wharf
#

I kind of get the argument but I feel just saying it's low impact/low prio doesn't really help

vale pine
#

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

keen dome
fiery fog
fleet wharf
fiery fog
#

Its also a matter of how complicated it is to fix

vale pine
#

also ye, premed can't be cancled

keen dome
#

We don't know if they are / aren't working on a fix and how long it takes, either.

vale pine
#

so F

vast scarab
#

funny bug not resetting combat on dummy in silvermoon, ported to raid and after 3hrs hearthstone back to silvermoon with insta in-combat state 🙂

keen dome
foggy estuary
#

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.

fiery fog
fleet wharf
#

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

vale pine
#

any spec will have bugs

#

its not just rogue

fleet wharf
#

it's not comforting knowing we're always at the bottom of the prio list though

fiery fog
#

Also
Though sub plays a little weird atm
Damage wise we are totally fine besides on vanguard

fiery fog
#

Just dont compare rogue to devourer

keen dome
#

I dn't think we're at the bottom of the prio list.

#

Because that wall in the garrison STILL hasne't been fixed

fiery fog
fleet wharf
#

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...

green torrent
#

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.

keen dome
#

That's not how it works but k

keen dome
#

If money resulted in progress we'd not have potholes in roads.

#

But alas, it's never how it works

green torrent
#

it would fix bugs if they knew how to manage their business

keen dome
#

lol

fiery fog
#

People fix bugs
People need time
But what happens is
People need too much time but dont get it

keen dome
#

lmao

foggy estuary
#

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

keen dome
#

Also, not every developer is a bug fixing dev.

brave moth
fiery fog
keen dome
#

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

balmy gate
#

Ofc we are bottom of the bottom 😉 guilds will Bench rogues thats why i dont Touch him until Meta

fiery fog
#

Im lucky enough to not be benched at any boss

#

My rl loves atrophic

keen dome
#

Damn, but the bench is comfy

keen yew
#

especially vanguard's bench

fiery fog
#

I hope we kill beloren this id so we dont have to do vanguard for 6 vault slots

keen dome
#

I believe in you making an omlette

fiery fog
#

That boss is so ass

#

Worst boss this season by a long shot

keen dome
#

I agree even though it's from a heroic perspective

#

heroic pug perspective

haughty mural
keen dome
#

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.

fleet blaze
#

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

haughty mural
fiery fog
keen dome
#

Yes but it is going to make people do 30% more DPS on the egg

fiery fog
#

The monk is doing that

keen dome
#

Haha

#

Monk doing 30% of the egg HP in a 2/2/22 would be funny

tulip light
#

are all re crafting issues resolved? like items just straight up disappearing

keen dome
#

I've heard people have recrafted fine and nobody I know who has, has had the issue so

#

maybe?

mighty citrus
fiery fog
#

Man my gear is so ass when looking at some sims

#

Im still at like 106/107k

mighty citrus
#

yeah but this sims lie as

#

they use 590 haste

#

so

fiery fog
#

Well true
But still

mighty citrus
#

jsut want to see what the stats are within this sim

#

if its possible

fiery fog
#

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

naive steppe
#

!bug

wicked joltBOT
fiery fog
#

Btw bonus rolls
People who used them before the bugfix get the rolls back

#

But keep the items

mighty citrus
#

sounds worse than it actually is

#

you are still capped due to crests

fleet wharf
#

yea, the whole pool resets too

keen dome
#

Still capped on crests, and the loot pool isn't set so you'll be about the same relative gain

mighty citrus
#

exactly

fiery fog
#

But

#

Lets say

keen dome
#

only a very very tiny minority will have benefited

fleet wharf
#

surely i'll high roll this time around

keen dome
#

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

fiery fog
#

Youve gotten the item you wanted, then you are just further ahead

keen dome
#

Yes

#

But I imagine that's an exceptionally tiny minority

mighty citrus
keen dome
#

It's not ideal but I think it's a fine solution.

mighty citrus
#

vs hc

keen dome
#

I will suffer double belt but I will also still be gear neutral

mighty citrus
#

i get that it feels unfair, but if you think about it twice you should come to iGestalts conclusion as well

keen dome
#

The only way it wouldn't be fair is if I could go rekill Myth Chim I guess but eh

fleet wharf
#

Don't worry king, the alnseer gaze will surely be in your vault this week

!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 WoWhead or IV Icy Veins.

vale osprey
#

Anyone know if recrafting is fixed?

grizzled hornet
vestal escarp

sharp seal
vale pine
#

think the majority had no problems

#

did not see anyone in our guild mention a problem

tulip light
#

if we used bonus rolls before the bug fix and get them refunden - are any items we got still ticked off the loot pool?

vale pine
#

no

#

if you got an item

#

you get an refund of the bonusroll, because the list would not include it

velvet jay
#

Do Mythic raid bonus rolls also get refunded?

vale pine
#

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

velvet jay
#

True

vale pine
#

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

velvet jay
#

yeah that would be shitty xD

vale pine
#

as the bool did not shrink

velvet jay
#

Not for me though cause I got my mythic gaze 😎

vale pine
#

but everyone else just got free extra loot

#

ye, if you got gaze

velvet jay
#

Ez free loot I guess xD

vale pine
#

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

velvet jay
#

True

vale pine
#

tho we are also mostly crest limited

#

soo

#

(unless you are like me, and haven't seen gaze drop since week 1 normal)

modern sentinel
#

Just get it to drop

vale pine
#

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)

modern sentinel
#

Should drop more loot

vale pine
#

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.

vale pine
#

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

obsidian crag
#

Are the refunds out already?

vale pine
#

think its later today

#

but unsure

vale pine
#

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

thick gyro
#

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?

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).

  • 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)

  • 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)
brave moth
#

Is this bug since this patch ?

alpine wraith
#

you also dont get the copies from the premed cps on strike

#

that one also helps make no premed better

vale pine
alpine wraith
#

as you didnt spend sht

#

that is why we wanted premed to just give 5 sht

vale pine
#

but we now play cloud cover

#

which makes he bug more impactful

alpine wraith
#

but seems like something giving sht breaks the game

#

apart from tier set

small rose
#

so in the opener after getting 7 cps, using CDs and secret tech, the next SS grants you half your cp bar

alpine wraith
#

and they already had to work on it

brave moth
#

At this point this is a "feature"

obsidian crag
#

what is the new battle res item to buy from AH?

small rose
#

im not sure how to utilize our first art in the opener after secret tech

#

or we cast SS 3 times consecutively

guys what are the stat prios for sub can anyone tell pls 700 is the haste break but for the others ?

#

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

#

@vale pine at this point the faster opener is strike, vanish + strike, shiv

vale osprey
#

Thought shiv didn't generate on bosses?

brave moth
#

That is 5 cp no ?

void ocean
#

at what point do we include shuriken toss

lilac stag

usually 6. I honestly don’t recall if raid boss won’t generate.

!opener

wicked joltBOT
#

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

alpine wraith
#

should be fine you just need 1 sht

vale pine
#

is the most consistent and easiest to execute

vale osprey
lilac stag
# vale pine XD

I do think in raid that’s likely more than fine and we’re just back to the whole strike dance shit

alpine wraith
#

and you never see the cool wm+clone big crits from strike

lilac stag
#

which server tick did you hit

alpine wraith
#

well getting a lil extra haste

lilac stag

#

I've seen no other class with optimisations like rogue still

vale pine
#

now people will say the spec is easy

#

or plays itself

#

while many still struggle

random mason
#

Tbh 2 button can still have complexity

#

Also ppl say dev dh is easy as fuck but the dmg spread on statistics says otherwize

still quartz

wicked joltBOT

#

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

alpine wraith
#

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

vale pine
#

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

alpine wraith
#

ahahah we talked about this the other day

summer peak
vale pine
#

e.g. we started off doing rly good aoe

  • BOOM -> AoE nerf
random mason
vale pine
#

our cleave was decent with nimble flurry

  • Nimble flurry reworked -> now our cleave is within if not the worse in game
alpine wraith
#

buffed bp

#

then nerfed it again

upbeat yarrow
#

look like i have to come back to sub im too slow to play outlaw 😭

alpine wraith
#

oh and also nerfed talents that buffed bp

#

also another one

vale pine
#

our burst and flexibility was good

  • Nerf Burst hard, remove Flagellation (which was in part why our burst was so good)
  • Remove flexibility
alpine wraith
#

deleted all dance amps

#

then put them back again

vale pine
#

Then now 12.0.5

#
  • re-add a worse flagellation
random mason
alpine wraith
#

clones are just worse legion WM too

west bluff
vale pine
#

so bottom line, we still have:

  • Less flexibility
  • Less burst
  • No cleave
  • good aoe but not outstanding
mighty citrus
#

would be a shame if nimble would work again with strike and maybe on top with storm ( 😄 )

sage ivy
#

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

grizzled hornet
vale pine
#

haha

#

you mean people struggeling all the time

grizzled hornet
#

hahaha

#

yeah that

#

lets all suffer

random mason
#

If everyone suffers equally no one suffers?

vale pine
#

to be fair, we are not terrible

upbeat yarrow
vale pine
#

its just difficult to understand why changes happen, if they don't improve the general

grizzled hornet
#

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

west bluff
#

you get used to outlaw with muscle memory

vale pine
#

haste is weird

#

because we now have breakpoints

#

and we still don't benefit from lust

random mason
#

Yeah outlaw is a spec where you just gotta figure out the like 4 things to look at and the rest is muscle memory

grizzled hornet
#

yeah can we go versa/mastery and be tanks again?

west bluff
#

it's fun but too much button pressing can get tiresome

vale pine
#

i don't mind the pacing

#

of subtlety

alpine wraith
vale pine
#

it is a common complaint from people testing it

#

"why no eneryg"

#

*energy

random mason
#

I really enjoy the feeling of playing it rn tbh

dusky verge
#

wonder what those people say when they test assassination

grizzled hornet
random mason
#

I dont like the cloud bc ppl just start moving away from it every time

#

But the cloud itself is cool

vale pine
west bluff
vale pine
#

hardest spec in wow

uneven rampart
#

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?

graceful osprey
#

Ideally, I would love for them to build upon things rather than redesigning things.

vale pine
#

(i am joking, but dot management is within one of the things people struggle with)

grizzled hornet
vale pine
#

(even if its rly easy to do)

west bluff
grizzled hornet
#

LMAO

random mason
#

In TWW it felt better idk

vale pine
#

there is an irony

maiden oar
vale pine
#

that the most positive feedback for assassiantion i saw in channels ended up at the end of bfa

west bluff
grizzled hornet
#

join key > firsts pull>tank gathers big pack> smokebomb cus cds> tank runs cus cant see

vale pine
#

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

grizzled hornet
random mason
vale pine
#

i think its just that a lot of these who gave feedback

random mason
#

But didnt like pirate

vale pine
#

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

west bluff
vale pine
#

where outlaw palyers often give feedback that the new version is the best they ever played

west bluff
#

at least we got some visuals!

vale pine
#

while subtlety mains will point out the many flaws and shortcommings it has

grizzled hornet
vale pine
#

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

west bluff
random mason
vale pine
west bluff
vale pine
#

basically outlaw palyers who talk subtlety

#

are more likely to say the new iteration is good

alpine wraith
#

funnily enough we went back to WoD sub in a way but just 5x less bursty

vale pine
#

at least those i saw typing in here

alpine wraith
#

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

light finch
#

Some Guildmate of mine was like, hey you got Smokebomb back and then i got sad 🙁

random mason
alpine wraith
#

i liked dust quite a bit

vale pine
#

i don't know the exact reasons

alpine wraith
#

let me think about what i want to do

vale pine
#

i think the simplicity is def. part of it

alpine wraith
#

instead of just following a paved way

vale pine
#

development always works forward

#

so best case is to improve on the current version

light finch
#

fucking DH took our Smokebomb in Legion, never forgotten, never forgiven.

alpine wraith
#

who wants to bet nightstalker is back some day

vale pine
#

as thats the most likely thing blizz is willing to do

#

i don't think they would revert changes

alpine wraith
#

as long as they dont fix the DS bugs or buff it a lot

#

we are good

vale pine
#

or re-design things, unless they are severely broken

red flame
west bluff
#

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

red flame
#

😭

vale pine
#

the dynamic and burst was unique

light finch
random mason
vale pine
#

but it makes sense that they removed it, if the goal of midnigth was to cut down and homagionize the game

alpine wraith
#

you can still move things around

#

but now you will do quite a bit less dmg

#

overall

vale pine
#

well yes

alpine wraith
#

before you had more wiggle room

red flame
vale pine
#

you can still not use spells for x amount of time

#

but you are limited by secret technique

alpine wraith
#

you can still get chargers and use sec tech outside dance to get unseens etc

#

but you will nuke your dmg overall

vale pine
#

becuase you line up thinks to secret

light finch
alpine wraith
#

it is a funny thing we can do on belo ren

vale pine
#

and not using secret is a punishing option

west bluff
alpine wraith
#

we can completely nuke it with full chargers plus unseens

red flame
west bluff
#

if i don't pop dance it'll live for 10 seconds lmao

vale pine
#

like don't get me wrong hacha

red flame
#

Just delete darkness & give us smoke bomb back, ez clap

vale pine
#

but every class in the game can

#

delay spells

red flame
#

Or just yeet darkness from dh to rogue

vale pine
#

and sacrafice a lot of damage

red flame
#

& still give us smoke bomb back

vale pine
#

for very specific cases

#

the problem is, the trade off is high

alpine wraith
#

tbh not many can get chargers or unseens like us but still our dmg is clown sometimes

vale pine
#

so its not flexibiltiy by design

alpine wraith
#

belo ren is just a special boss

#

unlike many others

#

where you can literally afk for 40 secs

#

to get resources to blast egg

vale pine
#

where before, you could very much decide more, especially with dust

alpine wraith
#

i wish we got prep instead of outlaw

#

and it reset blades+2dances

west bluff
#

tbh one of the only fights that felt really good popping cooldowns is L'ura on crystals

alpine wraith
#

even if it had a 10 min cd

left ledge
#

It’s joe for sub ngl

west bluff
#

the other fights are sort of whatever

left ledge
#

This iteration is almost at the level of DF s1/2

alpine wraith
#

we are not even mid on lura crystals

#

at least we can snipe a bit with sec tech etc

graceful osprey
west bluff
alpine wraith
#

it is just the weird thing about sub

west bluff
#

so i can pop sectech

alpine wraith
#

we kinda stole dreadblades

#

then now it is different again

#

but we lost prep and dance for a while too

vale pine
#

i actually miss nimble in keys

#

it feels so weird spamming aoe

#

even on 2/3 targets

alpine wraith
#

nimble with last seasons TWW set was very good

vale pine
#

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

west bluff
#

tbh the kit is so small now that i wouldn't mind having rupture back or something similar for prio/2-3 targets

light finch
#

old nimble would give us back a good niche, even if it would be only 50% instead of the 70%

grizzled hornet
#

wdym disagree? dont we all like doing eviscerates that cleave on 2-4 ?

lilac stag
raw ridge
#

could someone help me check my logs why I'm doing so bad :(? Just parsed a 7 on Imperator in Mythic

wet robin
#

Agreed fuu. I’ve been running for ST in dungeons for prio dam. When I’m straight AoE it just feels wrong now

vale pine
wet robin
#

Old nimble back would be so nice

vale pine
#

because it was basically a middle path

#

the new bp on 2+ made aoe super simple

wet robin
#

Really like the funnel niche

grizzled hornet
vale pine
#

because you just used bp and storm on 2

lilac stag
#

Funnel hasn’t been a niche since bfa

vale pine
#

and the trade off initially did not exist

#

because BP and nimble ended up tuned higher

wet robin
#

I guess I don’t mean niche, just I enjoy the play style

vale pine
#

so your prio and cleave damage with BP/storm was good enough to make some people happy

lilac stag
#

So they’ve backed themselves into a corner. Strong ST finisher. strong AoE finisher. Zero cleave.

vale pine
#

its prio not funnel

hollow spear
#

Cleave =! funnel

vale pine
#

prio just means, you keep doing good damage to one target

#

so there is a diffrent trade off

grizzled hornet
vale pine
#

the benefit of funnel just went down, it was never zero

hollow spear
#

Funnel means increasing your prio damage by utilising additional adds (to gain stats/resources...)

vale pine
#

exactly

lilac stag
#

they could nerf BP & do a choice node that adds Evis Cleave or increases BP to current values.

light finch
vale pine
#

funnel is when you can get benefits for your single target output from more targets

lilac stag
hollow spear
#

Saying other classes had no weaknesses is disingenuous at best

green torrent
#

is there a bug atm where something with rogue will pull more in m+

vale pine
#

flag is kinda funnel

#

as the lashes end up doing damage to the main target

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

A lot of People in here are really good at only remembering 1-2 outliers and ignoring all the other areas.

vale pine
#

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
lilac stag
#

it was just a prio target. You wanted it to live long enough anyways

vale pine
#

people often talk in trade offs and justify/agree with nerfs

tribal blade
#

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

vale pine
#

when it makes rogue as a whole worse

tribal blade
#

you lose a shitton of damage doing it

lilac stag
#

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. OMEGAKEKW

vale pine
#

zul was one fight

tribal blade
#

yeah zul funnel was bonkers

vale pine
#

and funnily enough orgozoa

#

which was a similar fight

#

did not see subtlety played

#

besides funnel

lilac stag
#

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

vale pine
#

also funnel implementations diffrer

#

e.g. assassiantions funnel

#

did not trade off damage in aoe

#

while subtlety had a hefty cost

lilac stag
#

they traded off all their ST

green torrent
#

did our build change?

#

in m+

vale pine
#

but ye

#

funnel is a nice benefit, if you are tuned well

lilac stag
#

mmhm

grizzled hornet
#

check pins

vale pine
#

but if other parts of the spec are missing

tribal blade
#

when a spec is tuned well enough and does funnel

lilac stag
#

I’d like them to give us a choice node. Add cleave or buff BP. Tune current BP accordingly

tribal blade
#

it becomes very powerful in keys

vale pine
#

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

lilac stag
#

Tuning has changed since bfa

tribal blade
#

it's hypocritical of blizz

vale pine
#

and was immidiatly nerfed to the ground

tepid trellis
#

sub aint ded it does fine

tribal blade
#

sub is honestly not bad in raid except for paladins

pallid jackal
#

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

tribal blade
#

that 1 fight is dragging the spec down on overall metrics

somber sun
#

I literally did 0 damage to them

sonic quail
#

It’s mid

tribal blade
#

don't think so no

#

sub is the spec for beloren

#

and it's good on lura

tepid trellis
#

overall stats means nothing for actual progress

vale pine
tepid trellis
#

sub is the best spec on the last two

tribal blade
#

sub is also the prog spec for alleria

vale pine
#

outliners are allowed to exist now

solemn patrol
#

What's the actual %breakdown for sub damage of phys/magic

tight fjord
#

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

tepid trellis
#

Lura is the only fight that matters

tight fjord
#

but im only 3469

tribal blade
#

lol those are the most important fights

tepid trellis
#

rest are some mickey mouse shit

vale pine
tribal blade
#

see sub during TWW S3

vale pine
#

the content is also easy enough

tribal blade
#

sub was dogshit on the ST fights

vale pine
#

to make it not matter much

tribal blade
#

but on the important fights

#

it was really really good

vale pine
#

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

tribal blade
#

i see the point regarding overall metrics

vale pine
#

overall has problems

tribal blade
#

but you could use any spec to kill the first 4-5 bosses

vale pine
#

because wcl does not filter out certain damage

pallid jackal
#

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

tepid trellis
#

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

tribal blade
#

i was topping our heroic clear and this was before cloud cover buff

pallid jackal
tribal blade
tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

to our dmg

#

also i feel like a lot of people are gonna have a tough time playing outlaw and doing memory game

tight fjord
#

6% overall, and moved more of our dmg into sblades

tribal blade
#

unless you have really good muscle memory on the spec

tepid trellis
#

you just look at a picture

tribal blade
tepid trellis
#

and move

tribal blade
#

we haven't used an addon yet

tepid trellis

its tanks and healers doing the inputs

you just a passenger princess cuh

native zodiac

The memory game is just solved by an addon if you are doing mythic literally payphone

lilac stag
# vale pine outliners are allowed to exist now

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.

tribal blade
#

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

lilac stag
#

sub is still really strong when it matters. Also tanky as hell, even more so dropping premed

snow birch
tribal blade
#

yeah sub is good

alpine wraith
#

rn we are a 20 sec spec

lyric valley
#

can I actually go premed rn or is straight int?

alpine wraith

that sometimes has more cps

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

tribal blade
#

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

lilac stag
#

It was on the master channel. And you could turn effects channel down. Now there’s no way to get just the TTS louder

tribal blade
#

yeah it seemed half cooked

lilac stag
#

terrorists with their black box shit

tribal blade
#

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

I can set the abilities to dumb sounds, but not being able to hear the raid warnings is dead

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?

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

on lower keys

reviewing ones own gameplay is probably the best way to improve, no?
