I know people have mixed feelings about reforging but it would be funny if they added that back lol
I still find it weird just how much people hated it.
Like i get not liking to have to reforge everything whenever you get new gear but that's sorta what we do now anyway just with whole item pieces
reforging becomes weird because then everything becomes bis
because "i can just reforge it"
but i did enjoy it while it lasted because then a bad piece didn't feel like a complete waste
like wouldn't even be considering reforging is they didn't keep adding breakpoints in
maybe they could bring back a system where you can only reforge like 3-4 slots of gear
There would still probably be a technical bis tho
Especially how sub interacts w secondaries
there definitely would be
i was playing very casually when reforging was a thing, and everyone hate it because it was impossible to get loot from other people in LFR and normal/heroic
It would just give us an extra lever to balance stats but i know for most specs it's completely pointless / annoyance
It already is tho 😭
nobody would give up any gear they got because they could just reforge it
i wouldn't know now, i don't do that content anymore
Ideally, for retail, I’d love the idea of different builds being good for a spec based on stats. There could be a mastery/crit build, haste/mastery build and so on. Would also be cool reintroduce more RPG themes like armor pen
I couldn't even get a decor item off a pug without them wanting 100k so reforging wouldn't change peoples greed xD
Ppl just need roll when they have a higher ilv item & then be like “if you wanna buy it make an offer” & it’s always ridiculous overpriced & if you don’t buy it they just vendor it
Just for extortion purposes
lol sounds about right
but i think reforging introduces a whole other set of problems
i would be down for that system where you can only reforge a few pieces of gear
Rings and neck?
True & real, no tier gear possibly
just capped to like 2-3 or something
Ooh or that
Actually
You might be cooking
Put a unique limit of 2-3 like how it is for embellishments
But for reforging
yeah so you can very quickly reitemize stats
and make a mid/bad piece of gear better
That would be sick actually ngl
valid
i remember the reforging addons lol
I mean shit you could make it a profession thing
could yeah
ts wont drop
ideally something where swapping it is fast though
idk not like a JC thing but possibly an engineering thing so that profession isn't dog water anymore
Even just an item they make
yeah i'm eng on my rogue and it's useless
Fr
same i refuse to drop it for the utility from old expansions
I might would run eng
haha i don't care though
I just keep a bag full of niche useful items instead
i like having engineering for the wormholes
but i dropped JC for alch as my server is dead so jc is sorta pointless around the gem rat race
Bc eng doesn’t have enough by itself to merit it
did someone say wormholes?
engineering was actually mega useful when you could only safely use bres items as an engineer
non engineers risked dying or getting polyed
Only think making me consider eng is the lootarang
i use them ALL the time
btw i have seen SO many videos about the tank shortage in wow recently

Always been an engineer, will always remain an engineer
same i don't care enough about professions to swap
As much as I would love for blizzard to make engineering cool or useful, they won’t
I do wonder tho, are we going to be stuck with haste, crit, vers and mastery forever lol
i REALLY want them to do something about vers
like make the DR only work in pvp or something
it's a very lazy stat
i think it's crazy that if vers is good for your spec you can have like 10-15% more DR than everyone else
which is what we had for a long time
it's incredibly powerful
i also find it funny that i got railed by people in here during DF when i said was stacking more vers for DR and they were like "just go full mast DR from vers doesn't matter"
I do wonder how wow would be if they transformed it into an ARPG like Diablo or PoE
gets one shot
WTF our survivability sucks arse wtf blizzard
LOL trueee
my saving grace was during TWW when zeroess was building for more vers as sin
dropping mast for vers and taking the dmg loss to survive in high keys
I WAS RIGHT THIS WHOLE TIME
when we were mastery/vers it was great fun for pvp just rocking up with pve gear as if i had full conquest xd
haha so true
i seriously miss stacking vers
we would no joke be one of the lowest deaths in raid stats if we still did
does feral have this dog of a ST in keys
YEs
well damn
Just had the same 10 mins ago
same feral?
doesn't matter when they bring good aoe and the best raid buff+endless utility smile
No, low st feral ahaha
xd
dude my lousy 276 dev dh is just so much stronger than my 283 sub
its crazy how overtuned they are
law with sub gear goes hard
for this season at least
like
yeah exactly
i was doing 19s with some friends yesterday and i was doing more dps than the 284 boomkin with bis everywhere and he barely managed to keep up
not a great look if the new spec is mid and nobody plays it
dev is just way too broken
sucks 🙁
anyone know if a bonus roll in a +10 and a +12 will share the bad luck protection? so no duplicates?
or should i stick to the 10s since I rolled on one before
can't stop thinking about reforging now, cap it to 2-3 slots of gear and let it reroll 80-100% of a stat into any other stat
same yes
thx
that's just almost crafted gear
true! less annoying crafted gear lol
meta 😄
Would this have been way better if the fight wasnt so long? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2PNHvkd7ZCRGXWLh?fight=1&type=damage-done&source=20
9:27 kill lmao
iirc 10 yards
thought it was 8 yards w/o acro now but no idea tbh
seems quite far
95% sure its 10 yards and nimble is 8
that sounds right
storm/bp both 10
it's range def doesn't feel like 8 so i think you're right
so if tank does not move drake at the begening i'm beter going with single target talent ?
on mythic?
hero
or heroic
ah ok
tanks dont' do that on heroic
until the end of the fight
don't think you can until the end
their hitboxes are quite large so bp should hit unless they're quite far
you can in myth ?
yeah the dragons are tanked very close to each other on mythic
and its also funny bc they can be nearly on top of each other and not get the buff
a lot less space to play with on mythic
lol true
i think the glooms are one of my least favorite mechanics of this tier
holy shit
the amount of times i've exploded
from my own fault or someone else assassinating me
wait, can we Just enter the cloud for a sec and then ignore it without loosing dps?
thematically cloud cover is pretty sweet, and I'm happy with how it plays atm with the buff refreshing itself
plus, burst good 
According to solo, it's a bug
been gimping myself on certain pulls just to place cloud well for nothing then 🥲 oh well
I mean it being stationary and needing to dip in and out is something they've removed from other specs
notably frost dk with their old oblit cleave requiring being in death and decay
and tanks like bdk and prot paladin have it but they're the ones dictating if mobs stay in it or not
anybody know what other current encounters will insta kill you like Araknath if you shadowstrike
I learned the hard way and was afraid to use it to open on Rukhran after lmao

reading is not my strong suit
Because I’m low on haste I hold one of my second-dance-during-SB’s supercharged CBs until the last second or two, casting a second supercharged ST.
I’m assuming this is bad since it’s costing me a few seconds of finishers during dance + SB just to wait for the above scenario? Simple answer is more haste, but until then, stop doing this?
Considering damage outside dance is ASS you shouldn't be doing that
How much haste do you have?

660 with or without oil?
Alright lemme get out of bed please hold
ur very close to whats needed
What consumables are you using? If you're not using blood knights (haste) that will get you over the hump
can someone explain me pls on lura do i need to hit with each beam 1 orb in p2 or do i need to just hit last orbs with beam?
lura hc
ideally across each other to cancel out the pull in effect
There should be a marker where you stand with the line so it hits a ball and gets soaked
Most groups do an X formation with tanks and melee on one half and ranged and healers on the other half
Kinda like this
This is gonna sound like the stupidest thing you've ever read in discord but it's like the old grade school mitosis diagram
First thing that came to my mind😂
Oh it's a cross angle now?
Sorry I'm American and the only cross that matters was Jesus Christ's
-# [Nashville accent] thank you Jesus
Any Belo'ren myth proggers/killers know if the CD timings on lorrgs are all pad timings - in a prog sense, is there anything bad about sending blades at approx 20sec like most of the top logs do to pad bird damage?
Now it’s an X
sorry for my ignorance, but out of curiosity.. Is it possible to just stand still for the players that are targeted by the galv or they actually have to aim it at the void spheres?
Alright thanks, was just checking it didn't mess up the supercharger build up towards 2nd bird set
if the pattern is also met as shown in the picture ofc
The orbs are moving at a set pace, so you just need to know timing/pacing and you can set so when it fires off at you it'll hit the orb
they way its actually done is that you put down markers that people just plant on so they dont have to react to the moving orbs
Lmao we are aiming this shit and making people panic last second cause we gotta move a li'l

How does one get the sub-trickster badge by their name
You need 1,000 hours on trickster
And over a million 5 min training dummy runs

Stab stab stab
You need to demonstrate a 1.00 sec gcd after using coup de grace. That's the only way to demonstrate mastery
That's why I haven't earned the badge yet 🙁
that aint happening
Isn’t that impossible?! lol!
should i be crafting something else with embellishment after replacing farstrider's mercy ?
the real badge of honor is being a Member and New Member after four years
you want to keep that in your offhand to have the hunt embellishment
ty sir
test
Any tips for paladins prog.?
now im stuck with DS
DS? I’d rather die, until it’s meta 🙂
1100 haste
banger interaction love these two
spectate the fight
one of worst fights you can do as sub
we'd look so much better on overall all bosses if it wasnt for that fight
It's a current bug yes. Coup has had a 1.2sec gcd since it was added lol
Why can’t they fix! I need my gcds to be not shit.
Million dollar question right there
I paused my sub when I got sick of the backlog of bugs not getting addressed and only growing
Is there still a Sim for a funnel rotation on the theory craft? Like during dance, shadowstrike/evisc, and outside dance using storm/evisc
Would this become more St than just a st rotation
Subtlety hasn't funneled in a long time
I don't count nimble flurry last expansion because we were just doing aoe damage with a single target rotation
If subt doesn't funnel what's going on here in a 19 overgrown ancient
I ended the boss effectively 50% faster than the dh, and 20% faster than ret
Subtlety does good boss damage is all
- BP hits like a truck
- Your priority dmg options is hit the focus target with strike, toss in one storm from lash and do dmg. It’s not funneling
The dungeon talents are basically 2 talent swaps for sub but much more involved for other specs
funneling is shuriken combo using an aoe builder (Storm) to slam evicerates into the funnel target.
BP hitting like a truck only took what, 10 buffs over the last two years?
Yea but logs parse dont matter if I time a key better
well, if the rest of your group just has native aoe pad built in, you play to what your group does well
It's not like hitting BP is going to make the boss not die though
If it makes you feel better pressing evicerate. Have fun.
It's not padding if the adds need to die hope that helps
Don't accept cope from a ret paladin of all people

Interesting convo…..
In my screen shots I think I was using storm/evisc during dances, but I want to try again with strike/evisc dance, and storm svisc outside dance
For the boss damage, let them get funnel
Faster key
if you want prio damage, use strike over storm esp with cloud
sub's boss damage in keys is good bc we sacrifice like no aoe to do it, and vice versa
but we don't really funnel meaningfully
sure technically storm->evisc is but its kinda pitifully so
bc the benefit of storm in aoe is more cp but sht covers that during dance and evisc is a noodle outside dance so doing it then doesn't really matter
If you want prio wouldn't it make more sense to just roll Assassination? That's like their thing in keys
Yes so I guess for my science I need to find out what it looks like with strike/evisc dances and storm/BP out of dances, compared to storm/evisc out of dances
that doesn't help sub in keys
so kind of irrelevant
sin dumpters sub in 19's
but homeboy is playing sub
Outside of dance dmg doesn’t matter. You want prio you strike and force apex in dance. Those adds still need to die so BP/coup away.
yeah evisc really really sucks outside dance esp in aoe so not casting bp is a little troll
why tickle one prio mob when you can bp blast all
also BP gets buffed by Potent Powder at all times (in vs out of dance), Evisc does not have any talent that does the same
which is kinda funny
also, imagine if secret technique got the talent support bte does
I’m amused how often sub and priority still comes up.
still get the odd funnel discussion
Sub funnel was beautiful in its glory days. Then they massacred my boy
I think it was more about generating combo points using storm into ST finisher, not about thinking the damage on the adds was adding to prio damage right?
Premeditation is a small loss to take (~0.5%), but you can still take it if you prefer it. (You would drop Ephemeral Bond)
why would u not take that ? way better on faster kills
I mean it is still funnel, just insignificantly so
!premed
so by the strictest definition
- The first Ancient Arts clone cannot proc while Premeditation is up, as you are not expending any Shadow Technique stacks. 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)
ig it depends on if you consider funnel only being the damage siphon aspect like Singular Focus or Wounded Quarry, or the presence of other targets increasing damage into one target
But your get more prio by sending strike and forcing apex than casting storm in dance. 
outlaw gaming
bc those two get used interchangeably a lot
if its pure damage funnel sub does not do that
Does it have funnel?
unless you play DS
In dance sure, but outside of dance if the opton is backstab or storm I believe was Malaka's query
press button fast mob die all i see
sub does crazy funnel dude
yea u need to hit the shadow procs for that too but in opener i dont even get the proc with 2 shadowstrike since the shadow techniques are so slow since we specced out of "warning signs"
Yes Cheri, generally I understand we sacrifice way too much to do this but I’m considering certain pulls, overgrown ancient being a great example, where I would rather do anything possible to kill the boss faster. Letting the funnel classes funnel, sacrifice a dps meter for a faster key
the funnel goes CRAZY
in higher keys yes
What
@swift tinsel what about Outlaw vs Sin?
once mobs live past sub burst and long enough for sin bleed spread
outlaw be shootin
Outlaw has better defensives. Outlaw wins.
if only it could cleave
but between outlaw and sin
Not by as much anymore since outlaw has higher uptime on cloud cover
oh hm mtrue
ye true

15% dr every 30ish sec

yeah outlaw def tankier than sin then
That is a benefit, Sub has a lot of self healing
outlaw def feels weaker than sub defensive wise. Assa is like paper. 
sub basically gets all free tertiary stats in talent form
guys imagine nimble flurry wasnt EXECUTED
What does Outlaw have that makes it tankier than sin?
Press ar more
fade is a crazy talent alone, plus EE
Frequent cloud cover that’s it
=more cloud
imagine if the spec with EXECUTIONER Mastery had EXECUTE after having nimble EXECUTED
@swift tinsel EE?
So without premed, is it just Ss-vanish-ss into finishers? And then before the next dance just pool combo points?
!opener
The following opener is recommended without Premeditation:
Shadowstrike-> Vanish +Shadowstrike -> Backstab until 7 cp + Guidon -> Cooldowns
Is Sub around mid pack in terms of performace this seasson in m+
Depends on the keystone level.
Sub damage is front loaded in 90s by big bursts(and a small burst every 20 second). If a pack lives more than 30 seconds or so then sub damage drops like a stone.
At higher keys you either need much more frequent bursts (eg. demo lock 1 minute tyrants) or sufficiently high burst that packs don't live more than 25-30 seconds (unholy and demo).
At 15-16 keystone I packs die within this range anyways, but on higher keys sub struggles
Sub not having an execute button is genuinely saddening
Assa players will start doing drive by at blizzard office if sub gets an execute niche
They can gaslight themselves into thinking that
the spec that hoovered every damage niche
Oddly enough 3/4 were sub specials. 
!prem
Just give everything to assa. It’s fine.
- the blizzard motto
they should give sub whirlwind
"no other rogue spec can have execute" both warrior dps specs have it
I think sub should get execute & basically death grip but it’s like scorpion’s “get over here”
two if not three warlock specs have execute
& life would be complete truly
I agree
give us a shadow yank
Waiting to see if I get sent in paladins on Tuesday. Healing was struggling as well as some dps
Does feint work on lura P2?
yeah
sim kings, is there a way to set a sim to force athe 800 non guidon haste, my logs keep recommended gear loadouts before my haste breakpoint and its making reviewing gear options from vault/crests difficult. - any thoughts? its recommended i drop both haste rings and end up at like 530 ilvl, (same ilvl across all options)
Unless you have huge haste items. Just take off weapon oils.
Outside of that start doing math in top gear.
Get guidon.
And?
This one
The comparisons are bit dishonest, because the gap between 16 and 22 is huge. 6 up on that level is insanely min max area in terms of group comp for the most part so sub is not that represented in those keys, correct?
I always took logs for keys with a grain of salt for lots of reasons. But data is data it’s up to the reader. I find it more tolerable than someone’s tier list that talks about their feelings.
how can i find what is wrong in my raid logs ?
!log
Tier lists are another low representation factor as well. Everyone wants fotm group.
Rogue bad, stand in city like npc
Does anyone know how to get back to the previous boss after killing Alleria? It seems like no matter what I do, just leave VS
Sorry if this is a frequent question but in AOE settings when do I shuriken storm over shadowstrike/backstab?
Cool thanks.
Is anyone experiencing a bug where it says dance is up but you cant use it? Having it happen a fair bit atm
Like here I was spamming it off CD but wasnt going off
Dont macro your guidon with dance
Is that the cause?
Doenst really answer my question
if you press dance too soon and do not extend the duration with the haste from guidon or other sources, then it still locks you out of casting dance for the duration which that dance WOULD have lasted if the guidon haste had applied
you can carry 2 supercharged points into a raid boss
so you dance before pull to have them up
I don’t macro my guidon with dance and it still happens to me when I hit guidon like half a second to a second early. It’s so annoying
!prepull
Pre Pull Cheeses:
Recommended - Supercharge - Using Shadow Dance before pull gives you 2 supercharger charges, this is easy to perform and can be done without any loss given the infinite timer on supercharger.
- Explanation: Only the first 2 stacks of Supercharger don't reset on a boss pull, and you can easily press Dance early enough to have full charges on pull.
NOT Recommended- Disoriented Strikes - Using Secret Technique gives you disoriented strikes, you can start bosses with the benefits when using Secret before a wipe or on Trash carefully. - Explanation: Disoriented does not reset on boss pull, but this trick requires a lot of attention and can't be done consistently, so is not recommended.
Damage Impact: Both Cheeses lead to a bit more than1% damagegain in a 5 minute Patchwerk simulation.
is hunt or arcano embelishment better for M+ ?
kk
like for havoc for example you wanna use 2 of arcanos
removing an embelishments requires a recraft right?
the embelished weapon should be in the mainhand right
Highest ilvl in mainhand always
^
is there a bugs command?
beating devourer on Imperator feels good man xD
Hey , so on Lightblinded Vanguard you pref to shadowstrike evis? or what is better?
obv shadow strike
cant shadowstrike as assa rogue
idk this is a sub channel
true, but paladins r paladins
why are we even talking about paladins as rogue
ait ty , i've tried aoe bujild since i saw some guy top 100 parse with this , but obsly my damages as bad as fck
shiet fight for us i think
shadowstrike /bp
ty
yeah I saw that
but like
you gotta tell your tanks to organize pulls for you
kinda
our vanguard raids had them split most of the time
probably yea , they did like 4 shadwostrikes/4 evis overall for the entier fight

If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).
I follow this blindly, but someone asked me why and I have no idea why we do this xD
Clone triggered = more dmg
only more damage on supercharged CP
ah ok, so next finisher is doubled by your clones?
you wanna force the 2 black lines
on supercharged
for the 2 sp cps
no no, I know HOW, I just didnt know the WHY 😄
yeah
ty
just read that apex talent desc 
yeah but I wasnt sure the clone spawned was doing the supercharged stuff aswell

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.
Is the coup de grâce macro so you cast it before black powder on procs?
make sure to put it on the stealth stance bar too 😛

Yeah
why
i could even drop the coup from that actually
What buffs do People actually track?
shadow techniques
could argue for cloud cover but that's literally just your shadow blades duration
i track coup so i know when i will have an extended global, and i track AA so i know when to double SS for it
i also track FF just for gits and shiggles
ur bars look above average NICE
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Sht Stacks, Sblades, Dance, Guidon
wait, coups de grace give an extended gcd?
some people just track useless stuffs i guess was watching a warrior stream critcake guys ui is like a slideshow
hey i have a question
if i already have guidon, and i roll on Averzian, can i get another guidon since i got it on the vault and not from my bonus rolls ?
yes i think bonus rolls have a separate pool
thts tragic
i had myth nexus ring on warrior i took something else isntead would be sad to bonus roll it if i go for set
already got hero set
yeah, i think that was a big miss, like if you already have the item in your inventory, it should not be on the bonus roll table
thats tragic
next reset I eitehr get a duplicate myth cloak, or the myth dagger from Skyreach... if i get the cloak THEN i get the dagger next run, really hoping i only need to use one coin there this coming week
u bonus roll everything there alrdy ? @timid rose
Are we running a shit ton of crit in raid now?
Yeah
yeah
I see in logs around 1100 to 1200
two items left, cloak and dagger. I already wearing the cloak.
Can u ping me next weak if u remember @timid rose
aboot what? >< if i have bad luck or no? 😄
Worth buying boe legs?
Im doing something wrong in my rotation or something is off anyway
village region gotta wait a long time tho zzzz
What happens next week?
Just a matter of rolls, don't overthink it
Do adds on Chimaerus not count towards parse
Yes they do
for a log you want to go down 2nd group
for logs you go 1st group
then on second p1 you go up twice with cloak on second
omegadegen pad
I see yeah I ended with 110 overall DPS on details I check logs I'm like why am I at 89 on warcrafts
Nah first you blast boss
and 2nd group you have cds
it lines up perfectly
ok thats some tech but yeah 😄
Thats then obvs best 😄
you can still blast boss and you get more dmg by that because second sec tech can hit adds
vs the other one where you get a bit on adds but they die too fast
also mainly because it is hard to kinda krangle the group to go up 2nd
then mind control to explain why you need to go 1st group the second time
instead of oh whoops
i entered
the second p1
sorry guys!
on my raid spec im not taking premed and sometimes its brutal stacking to full combo points how do yall deal with this
Is it worth pressing sd few sec before sec tech is nearly off cd?
Just do opener bro
on pull do the fast pull strat or the fuu strat
strike stab vanish strike
or strike guidon dance+blades strike sec tech
There is a 1 sec delay after guildon right?
Sad i cant macro it with dance and other stuffs
let me introduce u to dust play from df s3 when u couldnt macro anything 😄
i have a general use dance+blades macro and then a "pull" macro for bosses that includes lights potential and sectec.
ive always kept my trinkets on their own key just out of habit so havent had to deal with the krangle that is guidons
last season forge & prism gaming both in the same macro xD
I just found it nice to have everything popped at same time eith this 1 sec delay the feeling is not the same
its on my scroll wheel key press. up is sstorm, down is bp. S is dance+ blades, ctrl s is the extended version. easy to press both at once when needed
ren weapons are back yall FYI
s how you walk back?
X is
i see i dont have much on keyboard i use naga mouse
yeh i use a g502 proteus its got 2 thumb buttons and 2 pointer buttons
two thumb buttons are SS/backstab+evisc
anything spammable is on my mouse
gaming
i have cheapshot on my 1 key in stealth, kidney on my 1 key out of stealth
i dont pvp much otherwise id separate them
i keep shroud on my 6 key lol
bro if only there wasnt that huge space between your back and the blades
its so weird
I already said it, but i love this mog
this is giving some real MK Sektor vibes here lowkey.
besides the macros in FAQ any other place i can see more macros?
Should I be trying to game AA the whole time in shadow dance, or only when I have the supercharged combo point?
!haste
Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Single Target / Mythic+: Critical Strike > Haste(roughly 700) >= Mastery > Versatility
Mythic+: Mastery >Haste(roughly 700) >= Critical Strike > Versatility
hey I am new to pve and class discords in general (sorry if this is asked a lot)
do we hold blades + dance to line up with puzzle box? or just send puzzle box on its own?
use puzzlebox every 3 min
you end up treating it like a 3min trinket and using with every other blades

how many supercharged combo points can you have
i remember in tww you can stack up to 4 or something right
then how much gain is it to dance once without finishing on beloren before p2 for the burn
1%?
!log

I had no clue shadowstrike would be this big until after reading someone saying it the other day, Im amazed, i always priod evis, and didnt pay attention to the stacks
anyone that's doing mythic dragons as sub, do you still try and get a gcd off on the orbs or do you just tunnel on bosses with BP?
my group kills the orbs fast af so im trying to decide if its even worth trying to swap a gcd on the orbs for the sake of padding
Not on drakes yet but if i cannot get meaningful dmg on orbs id just ignore em, maybe try to snipe a shuriken storm for easy combo points
yeah thats kinda what i was trying to do
obv BP is easy to just hit them with but anything else is kinda just annoying to hit tbh
numbing poison worth it on myth chima? to slow down the fear casts or just stick to atrophic?
or crippling poison for that matter
Is there a big healing requirement on chimaerus at this point?
I ran numbing but im also benched cause i first rolled gaze 
yeah I'll probs run numbing at first since my guild has some issues sometimes to get the kicks right
Tbh the kicks will most likely be a bigger problem than healing or the small adds reaching the boss
yeah the adds die super quick and our healers are really good
the only thing we've died to has been the kicks so far
Yeahh theyre pretty rough at the start
Can i cloak runic glave in magisters?
i found that sectech lines up with the orbs spawn at least for the first part of the fight so i would just try to time it. worst comes to worst you're still sec tech the bosses on cd

worst mage ive seen in a 12. they were 280 ivll. no im not blocking their name
still timed it lol
Since every mage plays frost you just have an insane range on em now
I have a log with a frost mage that has 4 interrupts in pit
these mf did everything they could to fail the key
i was like, "NOPE not today"
although the tank was great
i was in a 10 today, both other DPSes were 250ilvl (i checked after) bcuz i was at like 126k dps at the end and they were at like 70-80k, should start checking at the start of runs, we still timed it too atleast
this mage was 280 rofl
This was a timed magister 14
When it's bad its REALLY bad
tank was helping their low ilvl friends, i try and refuse going into those groups just bcuz i want a smooth fast run for my 8 weekly
Now that i have a geared tank alt i can stare into the abyss as well
mage also died twice
It's interesting how people get to +10s and not even know the mechanics in the dungeon
NPX is notorious for this
carried 100%
i luckily got my ring from there in 2 runs, but i hate going into NPX, ppl just refuse to interrupt for some reason
and then complain at the heaelr
I had a BAD windrunner spire a few days ago
they didnt have to claw their way up the m+ ladder one key and level at a time.
Like i dont care bc i play blood and could almost solo the dungeon
But
Thats not a good look for any of the dps involved
the warrior??
Yeah
i should start logging my runs, i have no clue how to set it up, but i will asap
I was 2nd for dmg on the last boss
i had a monk dps in windrunner spire constantly roll into the arrow i would be going into idk if it was to just piss me off or something, he would be standing next to one arrow, and roll into mine i was running to every time
Like i pull very aggressively so i get that it can be overwhelming, but its a weekly key
Ppl should at least know the bosses and interrupt the important shit
one of the issues in windrunner is that ppl dont CC the birds when they cast the fire thing that cant be interrupted without CC but luckily as rogue u got tons of CCs to make up for it
Nah i do that on tank
I yoink em when they start casting
how much overlap do sub stats have for assa?
All u want is puzzlebox instead of guidon for assa pretty much
If you're coming from sub
Which i assume you are bc youre blue
well noice thats already what have ty ty
Most of the time its just standing in AoEs or letting casts go through or in windrunner specifically, not getting the shield down on that banshee mob
hi how can i improve my parse in raid ??
check the pin, get guidon/alnseer, use shadow dance the last 8s of shadowblades. etc.
Look at cooldown timings from high logs for that fight and try to understand why they do more damage than you
thnx

is this first one still used without premed?
https://www.wowhead.com/blue-tracker/topic/us/class-tuning-incoming-may-5-2301220 new note for may 5th 
oh no
isnt that good?
blizz did not like the talent change
bruh
you will just use the other one again
imo its good, shifts some damage away from the burst and cooldowns and into our wet noodle downtime, I think its still pretty powerful no
but everyone that changed to crit
Back to mastery 
got krangled
well have to wait for sims ye
god bless
I can just recraft my shit and swap one ring
i have so much mastery
well i like this kinda just we might have a choice now between more burst or less
All good for me
yeah I am already mastery ccoded
i assume that this will still be a net nerf
no more cloud cover its joever

does that make cloud cover 12 seconds total now
not really it is not an overall nerf
yes
i cant tell

you will just use scruples again
yeah that's true
might be a 2 to 3% buff maybe at most
kinda sucks for sub since CD is 20s...
it also sucks specifically for belo'ren
0h shit isn't that a hefty nerf we're getting ?
its probably supposed to be neutral
fucking blizz
Wouldn't that reduce the damage% to a third and everything else ?
i swear to god
rogue aint exactly breaking the meters to be a nerf target
well it's not a nerf
SUB BUFFS IS THIS REAL?
Bro they nerfed us for less than that
i imagine it hurts outlaw quite a bit more
but it basically takes away our burst niche now
yeah outlaw is gonna be hurting now
i wouldl;ove to know why they felt this change was necessary
yea outlaw is getting a big nerf
isnt it an overall buff? i thought the talent change orignially was only like a 6.5% buff. now we are getting a flat 7% buff and a buff to the old talent
less uptime and now only affects fazed
But like is the 7% aura damage gonna compensate the loss of what. 20% crit damage from 2 fazed ?
doubt the dev intended trickster tree to be so much better than the other
maybe someone said it before wonder who
not really a surprise
Buddy. It's always been much better 😂
they rolled a dice and it landed on rogue so they asked chatgpt what to change
yes
given the cloud cover buff was +6%
the real killer is the duration decrease for us
i mean, before cloud DS had a place in ST fight
lol, i am quite tired of this company they make it so hard to enjoy the game
The dooming real lmao
premed is back baby
yea now we are even more viable in m+
with this change
very curious to see what outlaw overall change is
might be a little less actually
maybe not so bad I didn't roll a weapon yet
hope outlaw enjoyed their 1 week
have you napkin mathed if we take cloud or no scruples
can someone explain to me why we can apply 2 stacks of fazed but theres no benefit?
i find it weird they changed the uptime on cloud for both sub and outlaw equally
given sub has far less uptime on it
i expected the outlaw nerf on cloud ngl
i suspected they would too
those bums at blizzard didnt consider how much uptime they would get in it
12s is such a weird duration too
expected like 15s since that's what so many CDs are
Or just make it match shadow blades duration
is the last portion of the fazed thing mean we no longer get Fazedx3 on targets? If not, is it basically a nerf? or way less than 7% overall?
i would need to know first if we can kinda cheat it a bit like before
but i expect it to be scruples unless you need the burst
all the TCs are eu and it is 3 am
yea wake up math nerds
im making some fast calcs
the people demand answers NOW
but still
Make some answers then
the cloud cover change will result in subs damage going up/down, but not as much as outlaws
that's my math
so all the crit stackers will have a bad morning
its not like you went 0 mastery
we back to mastery gaming?
aint that hard to swap back
well just crit will be back to less value it is still good
just mastery is better now
yea im glad i didnt recraft to crit
Buffs??
Recrafting is like 7k to 10k for my 3 pieces
Thats nothing
and i took haste mastery ring from npx bonus roll, I HAD A VISION
Wait what’s the changes
i was trying to coin a outlaw weapon from nexus, suddenly getting the haste/mastery ring feels good
yea the ring set from xenas is still good
Whys this bad for crit stack sorry?
we're no longer playing the cloud I'm guessing
the cloud talent
cloud cover got nerfed pretty hard, which is why you stacked crit
which promoted crit stacking
cloud cover lost the triple effect of crit builders
nah it's because they removed the crit dmg interaction
crit still good for other build though, just not infinite stack
ohhhh I see
yea they deleted the interaction
so now no crit dmg or extra dr
dmg still applies but just in case you though of talenting it
F in the chat for big shadowstrikes
they also nerfed duration by 40%
bro that would be a fckin meme
i think sub didn't need the duration nerfed the same as outlaw
No fun allowed
gave us new talent then nerfed it out of usage
i mean
we are losing the second sec tech if no bl
isn't this still just big sub buff compared to pre-cloud cover sub
but the thing is no scruples also got changed
yea still a buff not a huge one tho
net positive buff
there is no dooming tbh just people kinda liked the burst
not like we have amazing burst but it was higher
this is overall good though i think, we no longer will have crazy variance in blades
so we have less burst but higher lows ?
any chance they forgot to write that line for sub?
i wanted sin to get some help, but not like this
no
Actually fuck it if this means we're going back to premed then im happy
they targeted outlaw with that because outlaw has far more uptime on cloud
like ~60% uptime on cloud
sub didnt need further nerfs on it
back to premed, WS and stacking mastery
oh man
wasnt the whole thing like 6-7% buff
premed is back, thank god
so nothing changes but were back to premed?
yeah if they hit sub with the same nerf as outlaw it would be a bad talent for us
Rip I just got a bunch of crit bonus rolls
are we winning or losing hows sub looking?
yes but we're also not losing the power of having those talents if it makes sense
oh true the people rolling for pit neck
@lucid jackal owned
very owned
/dead
can live with less egg juice
smoke interaction removed in a random patch
I just crafted neck as soon as possible
as expected
i didnt read the 1 stack fazed part and was like eh not too bad
/bruhimdead
but damn wild nerf
rogue too op!
3% nerf to ddh!
big masteries
So back to mastery for sub?
the buff is kinda good for sub in m+`because the aura affects everything
well crit is still fine just it wont overtake mastery
Yeah
As in
Mastery flask again
Instead of crit
is beloren still cloud
Im just gonna play Sin, this shit is retar
wait, r we playing cloud now or not
no idea
easy to predict when he is secretly the rogue dev
we see how it gets implemented
show me the future genie
Yeah cause the patch is wednesday not tonight
Do we still get the extra fazed
i play 2 classes, 4 specs, it feels like 15
its more than 3
i mean honestly
with all the fckin buffs/nerfs n overall changes
but its not alot more than 3
ddh buffed 10% twice and then 3% nerf hmm
finally sub full nerff
isnt it like 10% full ahead of every other spec
Yes
outlaw was mogging ddh too hard
i dont know if wcl stats include tuesday
they said theyd remove logs from tue where it was overbuffed but i still have them
so i actually cannot answer bc i dont know
Theyre marked as invalid for the ones in my group
the outlaw changes are so evil though
yeah but my rankings still compare against the bugged ones
like in the best section
Oh
so i dont know if they are included in the stats
so trickster is seemingly better overall but is deathstalker even fun on st? ive never tried it so idk what its flow is like
now this is a pin
itll say best and have the rank i got with 12.0.5 tues bug
when i click rank on this wks reclear
so i genuinely have no idea
it does suck that its all pad though
i wish ddh was a boss damage guy but w its profile thats kinda tough
i was goijg to come to alleria reclear
to make my outlaw so strong
now its over... .

So what makes it so we’re taking premed again?
DS is not back
yeah we prob do
no reason not to
who tf wants DS
strike isnt going to hit as hard anymore
Whats the reasoning tho
well fazed isnt going to work with secondary effects
the generator crit damage is a secondary effect
so...
whats the point in juicing it up
Oh ok i see
ff subtlety
we got blueposted?
we had our fun (no we didnt)
any links?
fuck
Idk i just put the eviscerate in the bag
I dont understand what anything does
Just press your buttons gg
so we basically nerfed
