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).

I knew outlaw was a trap...its one of those specs blizz never lets stay good very long -_-

peak ice
hazy lichen
#

My vaults have been super bad

short radish
#

@vale pine Can we change the !haste command to say

Haste between 680-720 (can include flasks and oils just not guidon)

hazy lichen
#

Best thing I got was that neck this week but now it’s not good anymore

red flame
spare crypt

#

ik the feeling tho

abstract cosmos

outlaw is femboy spec confirmed

peak ice

Rip, ah well, just sell em and buy the magisters

red flame

outlaw is too high apm

red flame

#

outlaw is sigma spec

#

lets be honest

spare crypt
#

and you buy crit flasks again

red flame
#

hold on i have a meme for this actually

spare crypt
#

time is a circle bro

hazy lichen
#

Idk about being a pirate

lyric patrol
#

Compared to last expansion its not bad apm wise

somber sun
#

combat rogue with swords and guns

hazy lichen
#

Sub rogue more edgy and cool

somber sun
#

holy chad

exotic steeple
#

imagine ur pumping and gambling at the same time

#

so sigma

somber sun
#

yeah if we actually could run fatebound

#

sub fatebound would be funny ngl

exotic steeple
#

im just glad i dont have that smoke screen anymore

lyric patrol
#

No smoke back to premed all is right in the world

fast vigil
red flame
#

i lied ig i deleted it

#

f

red flame
#

i mean yea it can include flask but shouldnt

exotic steeple
red flame
#

bc ideally you never run haste flask

#

therefore before flask

manic glen
#

The haste breakpoint is 700 w/ guidon, however every sim tells me to get rid of my haste and go to around 620ish

red flame
#

i.e. lower amount on sims

short radish
lilac stag
hazy lichen
manic glen
lilac stag
short radish
#

fine 684-700 then

red flame
peak ice
#

what if i have 683

short radish
#

but too many people go "what if i use oils? is that okay? what about flask????"

#

do i need exactly 700

swift tinsel
#

It’s almost like breakpoints are bad

hazy lichen
#

Right now do we use mastery or crit flask of vanguards

red flame
#

hey wait a minute

lilac stag
hazy lichen
#

On vanguards

void ocean
red flame
#

@swift tinsel switching sides on us

swift tinsel
#

I don’t support any spec

#

I don’t like what blizzard is doing with this latest set of notes

#

And I’m swapping off rogue

550+150 = 700

red flame
#

would you not just adjust your gear

lilac stag
#

My guy. Do some fucking thinking. If the flask takes you to 700 it means you needed it for the cap.

swift tinsel
#

I was barely engaged with sub then they added cloud cover which was exciting bc I wanted a burst infusion into the spec, so them removing that means I have nothing compelling me to want to play it

lilac stag
#

Jesus

crude cloak
#

Mastery is becoming better with change back yeah?

mint swift
#

So sub rogue gets a neutral and outlaw gets gutted or am I reading it wrong

lilac stag
#

Then stop acting like it’s a bad thing

mint swift
#

What on earth is going on in here

exotic steeple
#

we are meta next week

swift tinsel

#

The big boom

exotic steeple

even a 20% aura wouldnt help me get out of grey parses

im a bad rogue compared to other rogues

im just here for the vibes

chill people

mint swift

#

if im not chilling with the silvermoon guards im here

agile peak
#

I find the retune kinda fucked.
"Lets make a talent viable pushing a spec to mid tier"
"Talent kinda strong, lets gut it and rebalance everything else"

lilac stag
#

Well outlaw kinda went past mid tier. We caught strays.

red flame
#

right where it should be

#

outlaw is an L spec

hazy lichen
#

God forbid a rogue spec touches top 10

#

Meanwhile hunters

lilac stag
#

Outlaw also dominating PvP so double whammy.

exotic steeple
#

who actually cares about pvp tho

#

i think wow has the worst pvp of any mmo

serene tapir
#

Blizz for one

steel zinc
#

I miss not playing cloud anymore. Idk felt great feeling wise

serene tapir
#

Is it set in stone cloud gonna suck?

red flame
lilac stag
#

There’s enough. Who actually cares about mythic raiding? Who actually cares about top 1% of keys?

still gazelle
#

These discords would be surprised when they find out that the vast majority of wow players don't do any competitive form of content or care about tuning

exotic steeple
#

thats how much i despise pvp

red flame
#

fuck em

#

s1 tww i only pvp'd for the glad set for xmog

lilac stag

1200 rating in 2's & farming crates

So 4 5 minute pve games is too much. dead

red flame
#

i did 1 bg against bots

#

it did not go well

exotic steeple
#

8x 10 mins

red flame
#

5mins is a huge exaggeration too

#

more like

#

15mins

#

lmao

exotic steeple
#
  • que
hazy lichen
#

I did PvP first week for the extra tier token lol

#

Was fun

red flame
#

of slow & grueling too

#

not like its fast & easy

lilac stag
#

You que silver shard mines. It’s 5-7 minutes tops to cap it.

red flame
#

i did 1 & it was battle for gilneas

tribal blade
#

to not fight on roads

red flame
#

the most slow + grueling bg experience ive ever had imo

tribal blade
#

and fight on objectives

#

and you'll win

red flame
#

the other team was hella overtuned it felt

tribal blade
#

the people doing the AI bgs are really really bad

lilac stag
red flame
tribal blade
#

i won every single game doing that

red flame
#

i only did 1 & it was day 1 i think

#

so my experience isnt vast or anything yk

#

kinda limited scope

tribal blade
#

i'm very obnoxious haha

red flame
#

it was v bad time tho

tribal blade
#

i micromanage everyone

#

speak in all caps when it's important

#

and most people listen

red flame
#

shit thats prob a good thing in that setting tbh

tribal blade
#

you get the occasional person talking back and giving you shit

#

but most people just listen because they want to win

#

it's actually very simple, making sure everyone's not fighting on roads and fighting on flags/objectives

#

and then calling out incs

#

and telling people where needs back up

#

oh and also telling them not to try to take more bases than you can defend

dry flame
tribal blade
#

like in AB just 3 cap and win

#

because the bots are very good at overwhelming you if you don't have enough numbers

tribal blade
#

i did it for the pvp neck

somber sun
exotic steeple
#

wish u could just craft and dont make the stats 50/50 and just decide how much u need per stat

dry flame
#

as soon as i bonus rolled gaze, i stopped pugging mythics

#

stopped going into voidspire too

somber sun
#

damn retired already

dry flame
#

legit

#

hit 3400 yesterday solo pugging (dont recommend)

exotic steeple
#

i bonus rolled guidon, and havent touched the game since

dry flame
#

im kinda out of things to do

somber sun
#

it comes to that point

#

where you just log in weekly for vault

#

and rolls

#

like no point pugging m+

#

literal shit experience

tribal blade
dry flame
dry flame
manic glen
tribal blade
somber sun
#

or people just skip rogue buffs when reading patch notes

exotic steeple
#

3.4k is still easy no?

manic glen
dry flame
tribal blade
#

yeah it's all 16s roughly

exotic steeple
#

i hit 3.4k easily but didnt go further

tribal blade
#

so not super hard

tribal blade
#

as someone put it once

dry flame
#

but, things are not like that

tribal blade
#

those are the people who are nowhere near good enough to get title but have the highest IO in their guild so they have a super inflated ego

celest root
#

o7 my soldier...it seems same shit for mine haha

somber sun
exotic steeple
#

idk my pugging experiences arent that bad tbh, we only deplete like 9/10 times

tribal blade
tribal blade
#

basically they're a bit delusional

somber sun
#

nah bro, if the guy was in top m+ leaderboard Id get it

#

but top guild io

tribal blade
#

but i've been existing in that bracket recently and it's been ok so far

somber sun
#

come on man

dry flame
#

i found getting keys from 15s to 16s the hardest step
That seems to be some sort of a filter, where the good players stop pugging (especially tanks)

lofty cave
#

!buffs

tribal blade
#

but it is very painful

#

because i'm used to playing at title range

#

so it gets very frustrating at times

lofty cave
#

yo were can i go to see new sub buffs ?

exotic steeple
#

wowhead

lofty cave
#

ty sir

exotic steeple
dry flame
exotic steeple
#

by the time i had 15 res, my udk friend had 17res and just took me for a couple keys

dry flame
#

it was after that was a prob

fiery fog
#

i love waking up to 2.5% buffs

exotic steeple
#

so it was rather easy for me

dry flame
exotic steeple
#

yea thats cheating

dry flame
#

i fully solo pugged the whole way

autumn shell
#

With no guidon we're looking for 800 haste?

lofty cave
#

im readin these notes are these buffs or nerfs to sub cause looks like they nerfing cloud cover ?

shadow lance
#

Check pin

somber sun
raw frost
#

you paly like before ;d

#

and have 2.5 % buff

#

overall

tawdry belfry
#

Guys with the new changed at the smoke and the overall dmg buff, is sub rogue buffed, same or nerfed?

raw frost
#

but from now on we should use old hero talent

exotic steeple
#

recently i had a 17 academy before timer was +1 minute, we depleted by like 40 secs , but now it shows as my 2nd highest key and still shows the overtime thingy

#

so weird

shadow lance
#

Legit

#

The message

#

above your

tawdry belfry
#

Yes

#

Was the timing

#

I was writing and didnt realize

lofty cave
#

thats it jus 2.5% buff overall wtf...

somber sun
#

bro

exotic steeple
#

2.5 is big

somber sun
#

devs dont like when rogue is a bit too good

shadow lance
#

And I said to check pin before ahaha

somber sun
#

this is already good

tawdry belfry
#

2.5 is big mate

somber sun
#

we didnt get a straight nerf

lofty cave
#

is it rlly?

raw frost
#

all rogues are decent now 😄

#

in m+ are good ;d raid are mid

exotic steeple
#

better than being skipped or nerfed

#

while other specs are heavily nerfed

fiery fog
#

so since our dmg in blades goes down a bit
if we truly need it we can run what we are currently running on beloren and the "old-new" talents everywhere else?

tribal blade
raw frost
#

but he has 5 % buff

#

is it sitll nerf for him ?

fiery fog
#

its 6% nerf

raw frost
#

pf D:

tribal blade
#

way bigger nerf to outlaw

tawdry belfry
#

Lol

tribal blade
#

they gained a shitton of dps from cloud

tawdry belfry
#

Blizzard just hates rogue

tribal blade
#

and only got a 5% aura compensation

fiery fog
#

if they didnt get a 5% aura buff it would be an 11% nerf or something kekw

exotic steeple
#

we rather take small buffs step by step than big ones and getting nerfed week after

#

look at dk

#

or dh

lofty cave
#

didnt outlaw get buffed in st tho

fiery fog
#

dh gets a slap on its wrist btw

tawdry belfry
#

Unholy has been destroying keys for 6 months already, and rogue cant be good for a week, this is non sense

fiery fog
#

5% will make them go from number 1 spec to number 1 spec

raw frost
#

well sub are still bvetter tho 😄

tribal blade
raw frost
#

the talent as pain in the assanyway

somber sun
#

so for next patch just recraft into Haste + mastery and socket mastery gems ? Even for st ?

raw frost
#

now its good

fiery fog
#

enter "stats dont matter" picture here

tribal blade
#

these changes are making sub stronger

#

not weaker

iron whale
#

btw just wanted to say, in case the guy who works on Sub Rogue happens to read: good job on the fix for Cold Blood visuals; you read and fixed it promptly, and that's just how it should always be... thanks for listening 🖤

lofty cave
#

so do we still play cloud cover or no scruples since they buffed no scruples

exotic steeple
#

no scruples

#

we go back to old build

#

before 12.05

tribal blade
#

maybe this is blizz's plan

fiery fog
#

we can finally not backstab 3 times before going into cds

tribal blade
#

we're going to get like +2-3% buffs incrementally until we're number one

fiery fog
#

yay!

tribal blade
#

maybe fucking mafic was right

#

can't believe i just said that

fiery fog
#

but

tight fjord
fiery fog
#

getting buffs like that over such a long period doesnt help my progress :(

tight fjord
#

we out here boys

somber sun
sick epoch
#

So we're going back to premed, bugged version yet?

tribal blade
exotic steeple
#

or worse get told to roll other spec

tight fjord
#

just gotta play with ret/dk carry

#

before nerfs

plush trout
#

i dont understand how blizz tuning works, having a 99 parse in dmg logs yet a demo lock having 80 is above me with like 20k overall

void ocean
#

guys but the real question now is

#

are we reversing that puzzle box gif now xD

fiery fog
#

why would we

red flame
#

no..?

tidal solstice
#

i was talknig to my twin the other day. he also plays wow. i told him, if you ever wonder why rogues dont get buffs? because, fuck rogues, thats why

#

why no utility? because fuck rogues thats why

void ocean
fiery fog
#

rogue has utility
until they decide to give said utility to other classes

#

mastery was gucci even before

red flame
tidal solstice
#

vanish dont work on bosses for us, but its fine for mages and hunters

void ocean
#

a bit less gucci

#

was the gucciest after u got 700 haste and got everything u could on crit xD

void ocean
tidal solstice
#

rogues used to be one of the only classes with multiple CCs
everything worth stunning is immune now but its all able to be mezed, knocked, incapacitated, slept

red flame
#

its so saddening

void ocean
#

im saying that for like 15 years

#

since cata prolly

#

back when i was a pvp player and noticed everyone has better stunlock than i do

tight fjord
#

yes our kick should push back like 2 yards so it's usable on all the casts

tidal solstice
#

how to fix rogues
vanish - 1 min cd, works on bosses again
cloak - either real immunity for 3 seconds again, or 45 seconds for whatever the fuck this trash is now
energy cost removed from feint, cheap shot, kidney shot in pve
thistle tea removed. energy regen increased by 30%
slice and dice is now a passive, attack speed increased by haste %
outlaws mastery is redesigned and is now something other than vanillas chance for a double swing. i know were in teh sub sub but fr its such garbage

#

stun immunity removed from most mobs

#

trusight removed and deleted from the game

tribal blade
#

boom

#

that's legit 80% of the work done right there

thin sinew
#

isn't like most peoples raid buff 5% and ours is 3.6% for some stupid reason

tribal blade
#

it's more so nobody cares about DR

#

and atrophic doesn't even work on everything

#

so it's extra useless

void ocean
#

thats 3.6% with like 50 caveats

thin sinew
#

well yeh

#

environment damage JK useless

tribal blade
#

but even if atrophic worked on everything

void ocean
#

i mean mythic Belo'ren rwf was the last nail on attro coffin

tribal blade
#

people still don't care about DR

void ocean
#

3 healed and no rogues needed

upbeat sorrel
#

what if they just delete rogue and give you a option to change your rogue to another class with same ilvl

tidal solstice
#

ill just uninstall

short radish
#

same

#

free me from this prison

#

delete rogue so i can quit wow for good

lucid jackal
fiery fog
#

the problem is

#

its only 10 seconds from when we last hit the boss
and it doesnt work when the dmg is from the environment and not the boss

lusty acorn
#

wtf sub rogue more 7 buff holly shit

fiery fog
#

atrophic COULD work on beloren dive but doesnt because atrophic just runs out before the dmg comes

swift tinsel
#

If anything it should be like brand/touch

fiery fog
#

every other class gets their "just touch the boss once and its applied until one of you dies"

#

and we get a middle finger

lilac stag
fiery fog
#

didnt think of that but isnt beloren kinda too far away for that

lilac stag
#

No idea

tribal blade
#

but i would still prefer a dmg raid buff

frank wadi
#

Oh shit could sub be better than outlaw now

tribal blade
#

because it's far more potent, especially in keys

lilac stag
#

people only care about dmg
idgaf if numbing / atrophic is better for the .1%

fiery fog
#

how about a crit buff

#

since you know

#

rogues tend to be portayed as these weakpoint hitters

brisk glade
#

% buff or nerf for sub in st aoe?

#

any link for that if posible

fiery fog
#

omg give find weakness a raidwide buff

lilac stag
fiery fog
#

everyonce gets 3% crit on that thinig or something

tribal blade
#

i honestly don't care if it's a super basic bitch raid buff

fair cloak
#

hello

#

read today patch notes

#

its nerf for us or buff

#

how much % we talking

fiery fog
#

nvm find weakness is sub only nvm that

Dmg buff fun nerf

fair cloak

dmg is all I need, i dreed progressing paladins next week as sub

fiery fog
dreamy root
sweet moss
#

we gonna have to prio mastery over crit again now?

fiery fog
#

mastery is a little better now but crit isnt useless

fair cloak
#

dont have box yet, gonna nebula core this next reset. but yeah only play for it, assa still mid tho ;/

sweet moss
#

so wanna change all gems again😂

lilac stag
#

rogue doesn’t do cleave dmg

sweet moss
#

still crit enchants though ?

fiery fog
#

if assa is mid at vanguard then sub is in the sewer swamps

lilac stag
#

it’s a cleave fight

#

You’re there for atrophic

fiery fog
lilac stag
#

it still helps with 5 healing

#

more so than not

vale pine
#

balance tuning tl;dr:

  • Stats back to before cloud cover (balanced between mastery and crit)
  • Talents back to before cloud cover (premeditation and old opener)
  • Burst damage nerf
  • General marginal buff (probably 1-2%, which is in a range that's not noticable)
  • Deathstalker becomes an reasonable alternative to trickster on ST encounters again.
thin sinew
#

Pick your poison be completely useless or somewhat ok mythic paladins

vale pine
#

what happened was

#

in DF, assassiantion was weak in cleave

#

so it got a noticably better BF version to compensate, and a heavy aoe buff

lilac stag
#

anyways

vale pine
#

subtlety was similarly bad, but okay-ish in aoe

lusty acorn
#

xD

vale pine
#

but because of this heavy handed buff which made assassiantion the best rogue m+ spec ever since

#

they also added BF to subtlety in TWW

thin sinew
#

Yeh exactly,
You can always shame people you beat on damage as sub xD

vale pine
#

in a weaker form, so more in line with outlaw

#

now in Midnight

#

the design team decided, BF on subtlety was too much

#

so they removed subtleties BF and also nerfed our aoe

fair cloak
peak ice
#

Is warrior like strong or something?

fair cloak
#

except paladins im 11-12

swift tinsel
#

Yes

void ocean
vale pine
#

i mean its perspective

oblique rune
#

I just rerolled all gear for crit haste cuz its good for assa m+ and sub raid, and now i have to reroll again fk sace

swift tinsel
#

And balance team has an utter lack of reasonable perspective

fair cloak
#

I wish our single target would be a+ at least so we are at least great at one thing, i feel like i bitched about it same in war withing

void ocean
#

tho i didnt like doing single target rotation on 6 targets but they could tune it so it becomes like 3 targets

fair cloak
#

time flies

vale pine
#

e.g. in discussions we frequently had people point out how they can't relate to people complaining about the nimbe change

#

because nothing changes

#

some individuals also pointed out how the nerf to subtlety cleave was needed to make sin/outlaw relevant

swift tinsel
#

I’m just mad they changed cloud cover into something actually fun only to neuter it

vale pine
#

so at least from my subjective feeling

#

it felt like opinions ended up very split on what was good/bad with the midnigth changes

#

cloud cover was a worse flagellation

void ocean
#

what annoys me and what i cant understand is why r they co afraid of rogues

fair cloak
#

that mastery buffing spell forgot its name, glad its gone

swift tinsel
#

I feel like I have nothing to look forward to on the spec anymore

fiery fog
#

i think the biggest design problem for rogue is having 3 melee specs which will end up feeling similar in one way or another

vale pine
#

and now got nerfed heavily

swift tinsel
#

Chasing big strike crits was exciting

thin sinew
#

Yeh the spec relevance argument is stupid.

When blizzard try to make every spec able to do the same thing otherwise they’d have left arms and marks crazy on paladins

vale pine
vagrant fossil
#

I mean, you weren't really chasing big strike crits. It was just more dopamine hit when you hit them

as always
get 700 haste
stick everything else into crit/mastery

Can we not sim as a sub all of a sudden?

limber folio

to mr bot

#

you dont NEED specifically 700 haste

swift tinsel
#

Mr bot has issues

fiery fog
#

mr simbot is confused this patch

swift tinsel
#

Bc breakpoints are really fucking stupid

fiery fog
limber folio
#

mr bot smarter then me anyways

thin sinew
#

Simming top gear makes you aim for 600ish haste in my experience so any item with haste will be replaced

vale pine
#

e.g. if we look back at legion, we had:

  • Assassiantion: As a low mobility, dot based spec, the benefits of playing it was the easy execution and low reliance of boss uptime. Bleeds also allowed it to shine on very low cleave fights.
  • Outlaw: The spec with a very high variance in output, which would shine once you got more targets or AoE due to BF.
  • Subtlety: High mobility and burst, with focus on dynamic gameplay. The lack of good aoe/cleave was made up by offering funnel and strong single target damage.
#

each of the specs had a clear niche and purpose

lilac stag
#

subtlety do low damage (“精妙”专精的伤害较低) get 700 haste from stats (通过属性面板获取 700 点急速) percent does not matter (百分比数值并不重要) robot needs less haste than dad with 3 kids (机器人所需的急速比那位带着三个孩子的“老爸”要少)
enjoy bench (“老爸”要少)

vale pine
#

its just that now

limber folio
manic glen
#

The pins say 2.5% buff, but thats using same talents as before.
Is it a nerf in comparison to what we had with cloud cover?

#

or are we saying 2.5% buff from previous, and just forgetting cloud cover ever existed

fiery fog
#

its a buff compared to what we play now

#

we just go back to the talents before .5

#

otherwise we would just keep playing what we are playing now

fallow ingot
#

I mean we dont have to complain, we gain damage, we have smother opener with premed and less visual shit with cloud gone

#

its a win win

swift tinsel
#

Nah

#

Losing burst sucks

fiery fog
#

it will be noticeable on beloren for sure

vale pine
#

alright i try to visualize it

fiery fog
#

luckily we killed it 2 days ago

vale pine
#

the changes

fallow ingot
#

and not a dps check anymore

vale pine
#

neither of the things that kept specs seperate are still existent

fiery fog
sweet moss
#

lads for chimerus logs do we want to go in first or 2nd

fiery fog
#

for chimaerus logs you want to pad

swift tinsel
#

As I said yesterday assassination hoovered up every dmg profile

sweet moss
#

so 1st then, cause going 2nd u skip it

#

at end

#

ig

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

And now in midnight it’s even more apparent

vale pine
#

but yes

#

objectively seen

vale pine
#

subtlety lost almost all points which seperated it to the other specs

vale pine
#

we still get the buff

#

so basically

pallid jackal
#

It seems like a buff right, yeah okay

fallow ingot
#

I mean idk about burst, our opener is not the highest one anyway, a lot of spec burst better then us

sharp sapphire
#

Sub needs a talent like assassins doomblade. A small passive DOT. Never understood why Assasination needed another DOT while Sub with the removal of rupture has none

fiery fog
#

the problem i have with rogue for raid is mostly "is assa or sub better" since they are practically doing the same thing

#

its like you have 2 specs which could be one

fallow ingot
#

like on lura cristals its so bad

vale pine
#

Tuning change ELI5:

  • daddy Blizz added a new toy to your collection. This toy was higher quality than your other toys. (cloud cover rework)
  • daddy Blizz takes away your new toy, but repairs/cleans your old toys so that their quality is up on par with the new toy it took away. (tuning changes)
final pecan
#

thats so fucking funny actually

#

lol

fiery fog
#

i kinda wish rogue had some kind of spec thats not melee dps

peak ice
#

outlaw should be guns

#

cause htats cool

shadow lance
tribal blade
pallid jackal
#

Guess I'm resocketing and reoptimising again

tribal blade
#

because you could delete prio mobs

fiery fog
#

i remember in tww s1

#

i was doing some keys with friends and they didnt play with an assa before

void ocean
fiery fog
#

there was this city of threads mob (the anubarak kinda mob)

#

put a DM and kingsbane on it and it just popped

#

xd

tribal blade
#

yeah was very strong

#

esp when we were playing DS

pallid jackal
#

Probably still we are going to have that but still

swift tinsel
tribal blade
#

but it just begs the question why does sin get that funnel

#

but sub got ours taken away

dense galleon
#

Remember when we had Shuriken Combo removed in BfA? Still waiting for its replacement

swift tinsel
#

They directly nerfed the talent that made blades feel like a burst cd again

#

So we won’t play it

vale pine
#

I mean, in the end

#

the change is not rly doing much

#

so we happy

#

no more cloud cover shananigans

#

and can return to old opener

swift tinsel
#

That made gameplay interesting

fiery fog
#

i lvoe shadowstrike into cds

swift tinsel
#

Now it’s a boring flat line spec again

pallid jackal
#

I liked the part where SB was more noticeable

swift tinsel
#

No high points to get excited about

peak ice
#

defo like the premed opener more

pallid jackal
#

But I think overall it is a buff right so it might be more noticeable

vale pine
#

especially after they made the buff refresh

fiery fog
#

we only didnt play premed pretty much

low marten
#

I personally hated the new opener. Felt awkward compared to premed

fiery fog
#

which changed the opener to more backstabs but thats it

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

i was super excited

#

to not see boss mechanics the cloud obfuscated

pallid jackal
swift tinsel
#

I honestly never really encountered any issues with that

vale pine
#

we lose a bit of burst

manic glen
#

It felt like they've removed something thematic for the class for just something we don't see now which sucks, even if the cloud was blinding entirely

vale pine
#

but baseline buff makes up for it to some degree

limber notch
#

Wonder if it’s still worth it to take cloud cover on Bel for egg

vale pine
#

probably not

swift tinsel
#

It’s more the implication of what was taken to give that aura buff

vale pine
#

the buff duration was nerfed heavily

peak ice
#

Feel like we only had this cloud for liek a week and peopel acting like its a huge loss that we dont get to throw smoke on the floor now

tribal blade
#

you'll have it for like 1/4 of the burn

vale pine
#

so you don't get 30 sec of benefits

spare crypt
#

egg is moving to 40s

vale pine
#

but only a very short time

spare crypt
#

if your group has close to decent damage you wont need to cook that hard for yours

vale pine
#

we also can't say for sure

swift tinsel
vale pine
#

how big of a change it is

#

because not everything is logical

swift tinsel
#

And sub without burst feels really lame

limber notch
#

Crit getting replaced by mast again yea?

#

No more 1300 crit, back to 1300 mastery

sharp bolt
#

I'm not bothered by the changes. I wanted one of two scenarios to take place.

  1. Reduce the visual restriction on cloud coverage.

Or

  1. Reduce the value of cloud coverage below another option.
spare crypt
#

rogues keeping crafters in business single-handedly

low marten
#

Outside of blades our dmg will be higher right or am I reading that wrong. So a bit higher sustain dps

pallid jackal
vale pine
#

with more heavy mastery in m+

#

just like it was before cloud cover

manic glen
#

but are we better than sin in raids and m+ now

swift tinsel
fiery fog
#

always have been (in raid)

limber notch
swift tinsel
#

During blades

vale pine
#

the change should be a slight nerf to baloren egg damage

manic glen
#

*are we

#

is what I meant to write

#

Im tired

peak ice
#

eh

vale pine
#

and we don't rly perform better on any other fight than before

#

2% isn't a noticable amount of buff

limber notch
#

I’m pretty sure Assa is still better in m+ over like 18

peak ice
#

think tis bout the same as it was

manic glen
#

how far were we behind sin?

pallid jackal
vale pine
#

assasisantions aoe and prio/funnel is just better

peak ice
#

a bit behind in m+

swift tinsel
#

Losing this

fallow ingot
#

Can we already sims a top gear with the changes ?

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

Is why I’m upset

vale pine
#

but our baseline gets higher

#

so it makes up

limber notch
vale pine
#

would still argue overall

swift tinsel
#

I know the baseline goes up

vale pine
#

nothing changes

limber notch
#

Seems like it

#

Net neutral prob

final pecan
fiery fog
#

excluding vanguard
sub is either ahead of assa or pretty much similar to assa

swift tinsel
#

It’s not just a case of Number Go Up

fiery fog
#

with 2% sub pulls ahead slightly

swift tinsel
#

For my enjoyment

#

Of the spec

low marten
#

A buff to nerf basically so we remain the same. Good old blizz

swift tinsel
#

I like doing big burst damage as sub

#

And that was taken away, given, then taken away

pallid jackal
limber notch
#

Bring back flag so I can do all my damage in 15 seconds and then do nothing for a minute

tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

That is the whole of why I’m unhappy with the patch

limber notch
pallid jackal
#

Haptics, not sure if the burst will be affected that much

pallid jackal
#

Like @limber notch says

swift tinsel
#

You’re losing 150% crit dmg and uptime on cc

limber notch
#

Burst will absolutely be affected

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

How tf is that not affecting burst

limber notch
#

If anything that’s the only thing affected

pallid jackal
#

Yeah but not That (should be in italics) much

vale pine
#

tho our burst is lower

vale pine
#

so its unclear if we can even utialize this 2%

fiery fog
#

yeah but vanguard is pulling sub down quite heavily

crystal atlas
#

What dungeons are we using bonus rolls on now since we are back to mastery haste?

fiery fog
#

if you exclude vanguard from overall sub is already better

peak ice
#

skyreach?

swift tinsel
#

Okay so if it’s a marginal or even unnoticeable baseline buff but we lost burst that’s a net fun loss

limber notch
#

My boner rolls are locked away in chimera hell unfortunately

crystal atlas
#

for boots? even if you have mythic crit mast boots?

peak ice
#

dagger, cloak, boots are real good

swift tinsel
#

Like

#

That’s shits

tribal blade
vale pine
#

ye

limber notch
#

The game knows not to give me gaze, I’ll fry too hard

peak ice
#

Oh yea, pretty much anything from sky is great

sharp sapphire
#

well the best thing this week was the ridiculous number in 1st pull AA and Nexus. Last chances for that dopamine I guess

peak ice
#

idk if theres a dud pull from it

vale pine
#

skyreach has a lot of good loot in general

#

you don't want mastery exclusively, but a mix of mastery/crit

limber notch
#

I sent a couple in pit

crystal atlas
#

managed to get the pit dagger

#

so changed the voracius dagger to that

vale pine
#

pit is also nice, but has a higher loot pool

limber notch
#

They blessed me with ring early

swift tinsel
#

Pit pool is all good for sub except cloak

peak ice
#

Its not like a bad trinket though

crystal atlas
#

Did get the legs during the few times I rolled in pit

#

i still got 2 rolls left

lilac stag
swift tinsel
#

Crit/haste ring, neck, bracers, dagger, belt, mastery/haste legs

peak ice
lilac stag
#

cloaks are such low budget

somber sun
swift tinsel
#

Idk im not sold on cata cloak w vers

pallid jackal
#

Mine are also at Chimaerus still

swift tinsel
#

Heavy crit haste is great

tribal blade
somber sun
lilac stag
#

Vers still good. Craft a cloak if that one item is stopping you from rolling there

somber sun
#

But generally yeah

tribal blade
#

i think having some vers changes barely anything

vale pine
#

like pit

swift tinsel
#

I’d rather have skreach cloak personally

vale pine
#

oh i forgot, dagger is crit haste too

swift tinsel
still gazelle
#

If this is my haste with all these gems, I should just gem Mastery Crit yeah? Since I mostly do keys?

somber sun
#

Yeah that neck on myth track is decent asf

vale pine
#

pit def. not a bad dungeon to roll

swift tinsel
#

Esp since it’s very easy to get haste elsewhere

tribal blade
merry bloom
#

im at 20.01% haste , 33.45% crit, 45% mastery. Should look for less crit more mastery?

broken saffron
#

Yo. where can i read about the overall effect of the upcoming changes?

crystal atlas
#

probably noit worth rolling pit I got dagger and pants from rolls and 2 vaults ago I got bracers

peak ice
#

all the other myth necks from dungeons are mid

vale pine
fiery fog
#

ii can only get the legs and neck from bonus rolling piit now

gusty wharf
#

Why is hungering victory good if it has vers on it ?

swift tinsel
#

Ye that’s why I don’t even sim anymore

lilac stag
#

I think when I started simming them every cloak was .1-.2% of each other. kekdog

fiery fog
#

both are good

sacred jewel
#

im like 5/7 bonus rolls into pit trying to get the crit haste weapon, now it’ll feel worse since i’ve already recrafted my gear to crit/haste aswell

swift tinsel
#

I just look at my haste and available gear and adjust

haughty heart
#

Bruh i liked the cloud cover gameplay

#

Seemed fun

lilac stag
livid frigate

swift tinsel
#

Them being -6% even with a 5% aura buff lmao

#

Would you recraft the 40 haste on the dagger to Crit/Mast?

haughty heart
swift tinsel
#

And still playing trickster

fiery fog
livid frigate
lilac stag
tribal blade
gusty wharf
livid frigate
#

Why didn’t they just nerf it for outlaw then

lilac stag
#

because hero talents

swift tinsel
#

Bc fun police don’t discriminate across specs

#

Meanwhile they’re changing them separately

gusty wharf
#

I got a myth edge of burning sun is that decent for sub?

swift tinsel
#

Unless they forgot to add the line about removing a fazed stack for sub

livid frigate
#

Ah okay fair enough hopefully I don’t have to change too much next patch

brave moth
#

So what, we got a bit of fun with Cloud cover now back to the old talents.

tribal blade
#

since we care mostly about the wep dmg

somber vortex
livid frigate
#

Hopefully I can push for 3400 io as sub because I only got 3k today

swift tinsel
#

Should have buffed blades instead of aura buff

#

Or in addition to it with the cc nerfs

tribal blade
swift tinsel
#

It’s just annoying

brave moth
#

Bring back acrobatic strike and rogue will be top again kekw

swift tinsel
#

Flat buff when nerfing burst

#

And blades is very mediocre without cc

tribal blade
#

would be very cool if sub got burst niche back

swift tinsel
#

Yep

livid frigate
#

I mean I got fucked over with pulls with cloud cause shit is always getting moved

swift tinsel
livid frigate
swift tinsel
#

The buff refreshed itself when they fixed the energy cost

literally fire it off and it’s up for 20 seconds

That’s at +20

brave moth

We cant be above blizz's fav children (hunt/mage)

haughty heart
#

Ok it makes sense then

livid frigate
#

I mean I doubt most of us are pushing above 16s

swift tinsel
#

At more representative/all key levels it’s rogue bottom

peak ice
#

I wonder why the mages are so low at 20+ though

brave moth
#

Or just other classes are better

swift tinsel
#

Less survivability

swift tinsel
#

If they’re falling over now that’s a liability in +20’s and higher

somber sun
swift tinsel

Ret paladin on the 6.4% ? kekw

idk why i found this funny

peak ice

Rogue’s are only 3% of the total pop though

livid frigate
somber sun
#

Cause the class sucks lol

peak ice
#

Pally highest

swift tinsel
#

Pick any number of reasons

#

Tuning dependent, niche utility that others just do better

dreamy wedge
#

To be less cynical, I think leveling tunning for rogues is terrible and makes many new players not bother.

livid frigate
#

I haven’t had an issue and I’ve played rogue for years

dreamy wedge
#

When you start with other classes you klls stuff like 3 times as fast.

swift tinsel
#

Literally had someone complain about that in guild last night lol

somber sun
peak ice
#

Paly doesn’t really appeal to me idk

somber sun

Yeah it's quite boring

#

hi guys how saturday going

lilac stag
#

@swift tinsel time to fury kekw

swift tinsel
#

lol I’m actually considering mine

lilac stag
#

as rogue looking as I could get

swift tinsel
#

Shockingly close lol

#

I usually go for the big beefy plate sets like amirdrassil

lilac stag
#

I’ll get it prepped for 12.1

#

12.0.7 should make the gearing even easier

wraith zealot
#

guys i do more mythic + so i dlike ask somne who knows is haste is still 700 whit certain trinket ofc or i better go full mastery and dond bother about haste much

peak ice
#

700 haste

#

Then the rest

lilac stag
#

hahah dagger animations on fury are funny

swift tinsel
#

I’m focusing my energy on making gold between now and when they announce stuff for 12.1 and I decide if I play that season

gleaming crane
#

Is s2 coming on August?

wraith zealot
#

but is better have more mastery then crit if i get 700 haste ?

swift tinsel
#

Going through the motions of myth prog

wraith zealot
#

i wonder how much crit is enough any soft cap ?

swift tinsel
#

It doesn’t really matter

#

If you’re mostly doing m+ just aim for haste breakpoint and whatever mastery/crit gear gets you there, favoring mastery

brisk onyx
wraith zealot
#

righty

gleaming crane
#

Or is there no Date Release for Season 2

wild vine
#

no

#

its fair to say we arent even close

paper siren
#

So is that upcoming change a nerf?

brave moth
#

s2 should be around august september

thick knot
#

nerf burst, buff overall

brave moth

We have like 13 more weeks of the stacking buff and fair to say we will have 1/2 weeks at 15% buff

Yo guys, I farmed the shit out of outlaw gear on my alt (now main). WIth those changes, if sub's better, How fucked am I in terms of gear? 😄

did sub get more dmg or less dmg after the tunning today?

TLDR: 2.5% buff, back to old talents, Mastery = Crit

as per pinned note

And I mained rogue last exp so more so returning to it

Think weapons is probably the biggest hurdle

Puzzle Box (mastery on use, channel) Use:
Use Puzzle box after your initial Shadowstrike/Shuriken Storm in the opener, before your major cooldowns. This means using it as if it is a 3 minute trinket.

my guild is on m vanguard now. is it still the play to switch to assassination for this one?

Yeh, we was discussing this earlier. you CAN play sub but you're griefing pretty hard

What is the damage difference roughly

strong jay
#

can i prevent it somehow?

#

feels like it happens super often

thin sinew
paper siren
#

If we are going back to old talents, for m+ is it still better to use the myth guidon over the myth puzzle box

use trinket. Wait a second. Then use CDs

ah ye assa

i got a fat log playing assa

For the haste breakpoint, is that pre flask or if you hit with haste flask you’re good

loud pilot
#

how is it only a 2.5% buff if we get all damage increased by 7%?

swift tinsel
#

bc cloud cover is nerfed

vale pine
swift tinsel

we were at X, cloud cover put us at Y, cloud cover nerf + aura buff puts us at X+2.5%

#

am i misunderstanding the notes or is the faze change (3 to 2 stacks) only for outlaw and not for sub?

paper siren
#

If we are going back to old talents, for m+ is it still better to use the myth guidon over the myth puzzle box

abstract cosmos
#

i use guidon anyways

#

i love the movement speed

its nice for AA first pull

forest meadow
#

puzzlebox burst in m+ is crazy

forest meadow
#

guidon feels nice tho

forest meadow
vale pine
#

can't confirm before patch tho

forest meadow
#

yeah just seems odd for the hero talent to change for only outlaw, but i assume its likely because of the cdr in that spec

did they fix premed bug?

nope
