im gonna see glaives in my nightmares
Well shit, aight i will slow it down. Thanks
a quickie question, the rings from Nexus arent worht playing on sub right ?
they're good
Its a good day dont need to use bonus roll š¤£
but its not myth track
i got the void one in vault, with leech
It'll do for now i get hella other items i can upgrade and still have champ guidon and gaze
ah fair enough
the set doesnt sim better for me almost never
hey, question about sims, how do we sim if we need to hit the breakpoint of 700 and then other stats? the site is not taking that into considuration, right?
i just got the Light ring with roll
Ring set is "bis", but you have to be able to make the haste breakpoint
And not overcap too hard
Hey brogues, really could use some help. I have 815 haste with guidon + oils. But for some reason the sim doesn't want me to recraft any of the haste/mastery pieces into mastery/crit. It also doesn't want me to swap my 16 haste/7 mastery gems in dungeon slice. Am I missing something? Maybe I need to manually force it to cap 700 haste? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7TyoDSC82GeLCZLAqB4QYP
I guess similar question to Hayden
can't see myself using any other rings unless i get mythic alleria neck p much
Just ignore it and aim for 700 haste
Put everything above 700 into crit and mastery
^
ty @hollow spear
I hate breakpoints
me too man
gear shuffling this tier is such a pain
thankfully im basically full bis now
or "bis enough"
so what was the real buff this week? i gained like 10k in sims
I had "bis" feet, catalyzed to get more crit over mast cause of cloud cover
can I uncatalyze feet please
it do not matter, more mastery you get the better crit become to the point that crit is even or better
Ask away
Reject mastery, embrace crit (I'm cooked)
3.5 but ye

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Idk what you want to hear
Yeah, I have 78% mastery without the flask lol
haste is slightly undervalued in the sim, it is why gear sets typically come out with slightly lower haste
wtf is your base mastery?
(undervalued in this case means, we typically have higher impact from latency and human error than the sim)
The advice is to get 700 haste and get crit/mastery, a tad more mastery for m+
yes
It's not rocket science
Isnāt it 700 haste with guidon?
heavy mastery for m+
Its a comp[licated sim situation. You do want 700 haste + guidon or 800 haste without it
for raid more balanced
correct
if you play puzzle box
you go 800
1101/1380 mastery with no flask
Yea
gaming
1100 haste is for deathstalker
Xenas ring is pretty good. Gives much haste
If you play puzzle box, don't
I only M+ though, I don't raid. In fact, when I would use my Puzzlebox, I would have 20% penalty on mastery according to true stats
And play guidon
guidon feels so much better than puzzle
wow sub rogue seems great in keys (no prio but overall is nice). Burst isn't as good but still better than most burst on packs.
the problem with puzzle box is, you already gear heavily into mastery
so you hit stat dr's
Hey guys, thinking about gearing my rogue as an alt. But debating whether to craft a dagger and play sub or craft a 1h weapon and play outlaw. Will be only for mythic/heroic raiding as I will not be pushing any m+. How is the sub and outlaw comparison looking after todays patch?
happy to have stayed sub for m+
outlaw feels so clunky
which is why it can sim equal to guidon on setups without much mastery
it's crazy how much more fun l'ura is to progress than
Finally got guidon right before reset, so no more puzzlebox and no more DR thankfully lol
Play what feels better, performance is quite even
sub pretty mindless tbh. great to focus on kicks and shit like that
That's why I'm on vacation to let my guild prog cosmos and beloren
for specs, i would say play what you are familiar with
how good is plume for us now?
outlaw tracs more stuff
I streamed a M+ once for my guild and they flamed me for how easy my rotation was xD
if you are new to a spec, you have a harder time to adjust to encounter specifics
I have it in vault and I cant decide if plume or set chest
Do you have gaze?
yeah since they took away our rupture, and way before that our snd, it's like the easiest spec
crown was alright
belo was pretty miserable
but even with bleeds to maintain before, it was still easy
not yet no
is myth guidon worth over myth chest even when having hero track guidon? i have no issue fitting second ST in cds
We not playin Cloud Cover anymore after nerf?
no
Familiar with both, was just wondering the performance in the raid rather than just looking at sims. And according to logs both seems even. Thanks for the help
God bless
sub was tied with arcane mage as the hardest rotation in TWW
Do you have like 4 piece tier?
yes but chest is hero I got myth in vault
myth guidon for sure. remember the 298 upgrade for trinkets is coming soon
god i miss her
you can play it in m+
but for raiding, mostly no
Iād just sim it to be safe
subtlety had the hardest rotation in tww/df
but its now simplified to the point mastery and expertise are more about
But we still fighting for Crit or we switch back to Mastery?
we essentially move back to a similar stat spread like we had before the nerf
ironically i was way better at old sub than new sub
Whatās considered a difficult class now days
not sure, think everything is now simple
honestly no idea
After i looted Vorasius Ring on BiS 𤔠My rl gonna hate me for now
design direction blizz took with midnight
Iāve only got a few alts but like
not your fault
Compared think subs harder
I feel like outlaw is straight up harder without weak auras haha
sub is harder because rogue is in general a bit harder
energy and combo point management
as well as stance managemenr
*management
both is not present to this extend on other classes
doesnt exist
Mage and devourer feel real easy
dev aparently has quite a difficulty curve
ye our lord and savior blizzard thought it was cool to cut a lot of skill expression from classes and specs :>
another great change
devourer is easy on a dummy but judging by the extreme variance in raid logs not so easy in an actual encounter (though I've only tried it in m+)
mostly cuz it needs to ramp up souls while others bursting on first pull
Outlaw variance in logs is something
Feel like you lose a ton with bad positions n stuff
i dont think sub is hard at all. It is just that any class/spec that entirely depend on short bursts of dmg tend to be harder for ppl coz it is pretty easy to mess that window up by sending cds in wrong place
positioning is part of skill expression for ranged spec though always has been (unless BM)
what options do i use for simming M+? and Raid ? Dungeon slice and patchwerk?
Ye just feels double bad when so much is packed into the star and you have to cancel it
I mean itās cool and I like it, but feels bad
Huge difference between runs too, especially if you pug.
On both Assa / Sub I've had such huge range, while playing the exact same way. What/how tanks pull is way bigger factor than anything I do, unfortunately
honestly dont know what arrow up means..lemme see if chatgpt knows
i've been on a tear of watching people give advice on youtube on how to improve in keys
āMake sure you kickā
and literally every single video is like "it's not damage, it's defensives/kicks/etc etc
always downplaying damage
when i think
its psychologically hard to be any kind of rogue
damage is the most important thing
it's the 1 thing everyone will judge you by instantly
People donāt kick fear in magisters
and the most surefire way you can see someone is gonna climb IO fast is they do high damage
all those other things are very important, sure
but i just find it funny how all these people (including rank 1 players) downplay the importance of dps output in keys
I did have a ret paladin do highest damage in maisara 13 on my resto druid without a single kick
I think they just expect you to do normal dps
I imagine they are looking through the lens of if you know how to properly kick and defensive, you should already know how to do damage too
And then also kick
yeah for sure that's really bad
but you can just kick enough
and then you'll climb way faster than someone who does 0 dmg but gets every kick
something like that isn't really going to exist though
I donāt think those are aimed at us boss
if youa re set up to be a pro kicker, you are gonna already know how to do damage properly
i feel like its emphasised because damage often is what players obsess about anyway and playing your spec at a high level is required if you want to push. I do see people miss time their defensives or not use their utility even in 18s
Itās aimed at people who donāt sim
no
this is very much not the case
i mean kicking the right things instead of every 1st bolt though
i have seen every combo of player in keys
but you're mistaking my point for saying only damage matters
when i said people are underplaying how important damage is
I think it's because the people who watch those videos do not have their fundamentals down.
Its much harder to time 10s with skill-appropriate people, just because of how much they die.
nah, I'm just giving the youtubers the benefit of the doubt
Itās kinda pointless to have a video saying it though isnāt it
āJust do more damageā
i would like to think they are stressing kicks and defensives as the next level after damage, instead of purely focusing on 100% damage
true yeah, but i'm also watching videos aimed at people who want to push title
and it's the same thing
YUP true
but it's the truth
and i think everyone is trying to give super fancy answers
gotta get those clicks
Theyāre probably assuming the people watching it arenāt single button rotation
everyone in the high key pushing scene cares a LOT about damage
I mean judging by reddit you can at least push 3k with OBR xD
yea i doubt the guy doing 80k overall is looking for videos on how to chase title
and then for rank 1 players doing high damage is a given, which is why they downplay it's importance
they never run with anyone doing low damage
it's just varying degrees of rank 1 damage
I mean thatās just 12s right?
You could probably 1 button mage to 3k
true š
I am not the best player, I just solo pug, got my 3.4k, most of the time im topping meters, but i just try to play clean.
For me, its just, idk what's the best way tro phrase it, but - discouraging?
I try to play consistent, kinda memorising roughly what i have for different packs or pulls, but depending on how th group is tanking or pulling, seeing 20-40k difference in overall without me doing anything different is rough
yeah that's different though
that's not in your control
Do i cook with puzzle box for 0.3% š¤£
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/18Ywv5pUvubvhqS9QJTgPR
and then the higher you go in key level the better the routes become
and the funny thing is while Dev and DK are meta when i group up with them i almost do as much dps as them and most of the times better dps and still cant get in GP in pugs cuz everyone want red and purple
your fault for not having grip or a brz
i have B ress
haha they just suck then
because both those specs are way better than sub atm
Dk does some crazy aoe
there's a reason they're meta specs
i know they are better but in pugs things are diffrent
Yea I feel warlocks are very hit or miss too
yeah combo of damage and utility
But gate skips
but usually damage
I love having at aug in runs
or disorient for 1 secs every min
Donāt kick me
DK is quite unique because they bring stuff to keys that's irreplacable
it is very strong
like grips and being immortal
also yea grip
It just makes my life so easy when the whole pack is just like perma ccd by the dragon
So good
Guaranteed they have the most deaths
dragons can also dispel almost anything
Dash into collapsing star is the devourer play
hi guys, simple question... try to Bonusroll Gaze M when i have HC Gaze or Bonusroll in Dungeons for mythic upgrades?
But trust me bro if u have insane dmg u will be meta its always about dmg just go back and watch surv dmg in season 3 shadowland
true. gaze on mythic is an ~800dps gain. M+ gear maybe 500 on each slot
isnt SV top also rn?
Do more damage? No kicks or defensives needed 
If you donāt have a mythic weapon, might be worth trying to get one
is this with or without guidon?
i have vorasius dagger on mythic track and crafted in offhand
should i take hero voidsong neck in vault to replace my myth crafted from 3 days ago for +50 dps, or myth tier leggings (downgrade) to collect the transmog 
#subtlety message š
Neck for that spicy haste
Oh hero err
Is it worth it to miss 62 Haste to 700 and get 180 Crit?
On my Sim its worth it but i know Raidbots hate haste
you can switch some gems around to get closer to 700 haste again
Its already switched thats the point
Its my max Haste actually
Its about AA Ring or MT Ring
Got gaze + guidon MM and my droptimizer says HC mastery plume is a 2.6% upgrade, WTF is going on?
like bro
list your own key
If i choose the MT ring im ending up on 724 Haste, 748 Crit, 782 Mast.
If i choose AA ring im ending up on 921 Crit, 638 Haste, 695 Mast
F
I need that pos
and I cant redeem anything
from vault
before I roll there
ah i see
Talk to the panda and say you lost your key
The problem many face now is
you essentially need to roll your bonus rolls and take your vault
after
i have the same problem. cant switch gems. only choice too swap items or recraft
because many times, you have multiple pieces you have minor upgrades from
and don't want to waste your vault
any system has flaws
First is better anyhow, are you gemmed into haste? Just swap a gem or use whetstone over phoenix oil
16 Haste 7 Mast
i ran like 50 keys
but we only ran the key, besides me asking for it
one time
XD
people painfully avoid the
Perfect, just drop a gem for mast crit gem
"hey, would be nice if we can do this key"
So i recommend the MT Ring for now
and thats because they want to play for resilient/score
and this means, you need to be lucky that they need the specific key still
@vale pine can u check this? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/74uppytDaofE5e4WPhCfqK
wow has changed into a grind simulation more than ever
Remove m+
Im simming for Beloren (40s burst)
40 sec sims are kinda not good
see
the sim has a 20% variance
so you essentially sim between 32 sec and 48 sec
the short duration makes it prone to mistakes
really? I found arcane to be much harder because your window was so tight
Knew I liked you fim
and also makes critical strike and other higher variance factors mor relevant
which is why the trinket from baloren sims higher
it has flat stats, which give benefits directly in form of output
Makes sense, i went for more crit after cloud changes and lowered my mastery but didnt think mastery now with new changes was so important
waiit i might have been thinking of sl lol
while alnseer has a chance to give certain benefits
not tww caney
š¤
i can't remember who, but someone in this channel asked their buddy who plays both sub and arcane at like WR 50 or something which rotation was harder, and he said sub had a harder baseline rotation, but arcane was harder when you factored in defensive and movement
might have been eleem or stealthi, i really can't remember
yeah movement can fuck you so bad
stealthi
YES i had a hunch it was ty
but ye
basically
W bro
stealthi asked a top world rank player who played both arcane and subtlety which one was harder
exactly yeah
huh... maybe it's because i've played sub for so long, it never felt as hard as arcane ever
onne thing i remember was
that something i think is important was a bit downplayed
how punishing subtlety was for mistakes
it definitely is, when you have a lot of muscle memory on a spec you don't realize how hard it actually is
yeah probably that
had a lot of people coming in here before losing their minds over the rotation
if you lose massive amounts of damage on one spec and can't recover easy
again, my opinion
yeah that was sub big time
how does sub rogue feel after patch havent tested it
fuck up cds
you should consider it harder
you're a goner
i like sub in keys after patch
it feels a lot easier to regain momentum after messing up with sub now
to be fair
i think dust was harder to play
dust i had to spend insane amounts of time to make the sim work
feels good
ye in keys i changed to assa coz i didnt like how sub felt before
like a month of full time job work or more
just to have a good baseline when the patch released
sub pumps in keys, just no funnel prio unless you decide to
sub is definitely still not OP though
and even then, we had to optimize for each fight
dust was very fun
kill timers etc were very cool to try and get the most of
but also if there was ever a need to send it all
you don't rly lose much
you could vanish 2 times
worse case you need to slightly delay your 90 sec cooldowns
yeah it's not as bad as before
before you messed up a flag window
it was gg lol
you don't impact your shadow dance/symbols of death economy
long time
which was the big issue before
you are out of symbols charges?
yes that as well
how do you recover?
impossible
by not using cooldowns for extended periods of time
but doing so means you don't do damage for a LONG time
which lowers your output noticable
sooo
you are fucked
w/e
yeah was pretty bad before
tho i think even the current iteraiton is somewhat hard to understand
because cooldowns still don't align naturally
we essentially take haste so that they do align better
XD
i think current sub is not as easy as people think it is
that's my feeling at least
and human error for new players typically makes it work without much thought
i don't think it's super complicated though
like
the 10 sec gap you kinda have
is something you need to play around
but if you are always using your sucessive dance casts late
trying to play rogue for splits I already got a dk and dh
which is normal for a beginner
you auto pilote somewhat correct
I think subtleties baseline is easy
š
it just has bugs and some not extremely well thought through talent options to make things harder
Blessed freedom
I believe
(i probably won't)
this is extremely unreliable data
but how things are shaping up
oh boy look at dev still up there
dk too
ppl think dev nerf will actually cripple them
lol there was no shot
think i mentioned it the other week
i think patches seem a lot more placebo tuning
where there are changes, but technically nothing rly changes
thats any meta spec really
Oh right I should fix my talents..
Did tunning get applied?
Almost forgot about the change back
you mean the buffs and nerfs ?
Y
Or just rock the same gear and call it a win
just swap ur craft and rings or neck
ez
thats all i did
why i saved my biggest stat weights
Good idea tbh
poor fire mage players
I will miss you dumb smoke bomb graphic that lasted for 2 weeks
Craft one ring and get aa ring then good to go
i have very little sympathy for mages tbh
same
they have a spec that's topping in raid
Mages don't know right from wrong
meta chasing is never about being the absolute best
it is a effort assessment
It'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize their struggle. They never gave a fuck about us when we were down bad
basically, people meta chase
also the 1 season they're not super OP meta
and then it's the end of the world for them
WELCOME TO REALITY
because the meta dps can often do 10% or more damage than others
in mythic+ can be more extreme
like unholy dk in aoe is absurd
can do like 50% more than others or even higher
so, by switching to the meta every patch
How does Gaze work? Just passive proc gain stat ignore it, right?
that exists whenever a spec is meta
premeditation my old friend š„¹
Do yous know if the alleria neck is weighted the same as other pieces for bonus roll or is it less because its rare
you essentially get these 10% extra dps
a fuckton of bad players on it
and assume you play your the spec worse by like 10%
these 10% are not 10% dps, but like 2-5%
rad
so even tho you don't play the class/spec well
This is the first one I've gotten, so.
you still gain 5% by simply playing a diffrent class less efficient
you proc the trinket and then it creates a window in which you stack up the agi
First trinket!? Grats my dude
From champ rep trinket to myth gaze 'cos in the 20+ N/H kills and 4 mythic kills it wouldn't drop!
We did get some fresh blood lately but most will abandon it, as always
when rogue raid buff
WHEN
Never probably
Unless Claude comes up with some slick shit
Hey Claude if you're listening...
im a new sub rogue but i wont swap off sub cool
Welcome

We do use Mastery flask over Crit now right
Because Raidbots still used crit on automatic
most of the time yes
cool thing is everyone in here loves rogue
because that's the biggest reason to play it atm
Even if it doesn't sound like it sometimes
haha we just complain because we care
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
btw can you guys remind me when the next PTR forum thing is active
the egg has 10 seconds more and pug groups STILL can't one phase it lmao
because i need to make a post about rogue raid buff in there
damn sad
201k in what, m+?
Ye
I could see it being accurate yeah
That's not particularly unheard of but you'll not hit that pugging which can make it feel unrealistic
the problem is
It's an average of the top parses, so it will flatten out eventually
Can we get Blizz to hire someone who loves
too? 
They shouldn't haha
and besides the strategy layed out
One phase sucks
people fucking don't do it
But also it's because people are real dumb and don't push buttons or don't stop pushing buttons

we also re-cleared heroic
TRUE
Like we just phased the boss with the add alive 'cos people wouldn't stop pushing
and our raiders, so people who play mythic
have like 5-7 people
who don't hold cooldowns
which is insane to me
they rather use cooldowns on cooldown and parse better
Haha
than do the fight in 2 mintues
That's not good!
Bro our RL went badshit crazy on belo
Because the hunter didnāt

And he didnāt for 60 pulls
Insta got flicked
Into oblivion
Made 3 of his friends leave
At this point, it's on the RL to enforce rules/consequences, no?
I pop my cooldowns the first pull of the pug I join to see if I get them back for egg or not. Typically I do 'cos if you have to wait for the second add in the first cycle to spawn, it'll phase at around 1:20 into the fight
sure but what you do, if you just quickly do heroic for the trinkets
i just send cds fake it
At some point you run into apathy though
like, if it comes to me
everyone who couldn't follow what was said
should be just replaced
but i am one of 4 officers
holding cds is good for parses tho. Killing it in 1 phase means you will parse infinitly better
well yes
but if everyone holds
and you get a 2nd cooldown use out of it
you parse better
which is exactly what happened
its extremely simple
2x your full cd set > 1x your full cd set
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
anyone uses potion of recklessness in M+? is it the go to?
my point tho was
xd
that people disslike the idea of holding cd's and if its benefitial to them not to
will do so
parsing culture is a pain
The apathy I'm talking about is coming from my own position- what's the point for me to do what mathematically is correct when almost no one else in my raid group does? It's nice to feel smug and all but when the official raid group strat doesn't take any of that care or concern into hand then all it does is make you feel like you're applying clown makeup one pull at a time
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Most boss strategies are not whats mathematically correct
raiding is a lot about finding consistent and easy to perform strategies
you don't care if your entire raid sacrafices 20% dps
if you can easy and fast kill the boss
but the type of a person that spends hours playing wow and games isnt the one to be the most logical
and its even harder when you need whole 20 of them
i dont even know 20 people
Pug strats are all about making the 25 random people kill the boss even if it is inferior to an actual strat
its also like this
it's funny
strategies discovered early are rarely replaced
unless you find something noticably simpler
is dragons as sub troll or we fine?
That's the truth
your raid team learned the strategy
so unless you can skip things
nobody cares about doing things more optimal
its fine
even the world first raiders mention this after the race some times
how guilds figured out better strategies after the wfr
whos the best rogue player
which would have made the boss a lot easier
I used all my bonus rolls on nexus point
i don't think there is a single best
Still donāt have the haste mast ring
"dps brain" should be studied. I am sure there are thesis for some psychology PHD where they could use an example of a person acting against their best intrest for short termed dopamine of seeing bar long
is using CDS the wrong way literally being a drug addict?
whos looked at as the best currently or strongest candidate to be the best rn
unlucky, i just rolled for the first time today and got it 1st try, hoping on the 2nd now
I have a hero track one at least
We have a lot of studies of people acting against their self interest. It's the same principle but with less actual consequence
Guaranteed it next roll
I don't think there is one best or looked at as best or sth like this
An interesting angle would be looking at it through toxic / benign online disinhibition though
Is Nexus Ring Set good ?
inherenly what you ask is who you can copy from?
if its u and ur trying to be humble u can say that
if so, just open https://www.lorrgs.io/
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
and look how the top performing logs play a fight
for mythic+ there isn't that much subtlety played
we should decide the best by whoever has the nicest cat
is sub just bad in m+
for what its worth
it falls off as stuff lives longer
the chinese seem to rly like mastery stacking for m+
and not getting the haste brekapoints even
this technically, should be worse
but high key pushing is never about perfect optimization of dps
probably simpler to play?
I gave a shot with guildies yesterday
its just a missconception
Where are the damages?
that mastery is the only stat that increases your aoe output
it does so, so its correct
but haste extends your dance window
High key pushing is chain pulls and aoe spamm
so more dance = longer damage amps
That would be @empty hornet
how dare you
sub really is pretty solid on this patch in m+
I think the w word might be a little strong there
i never saw them, where pics
#1146207476983812117 has some
we got a small buff
so we better than before
And I look at every post with awe. Some real good cats in there.
I'm not agreeing
But I might be just bad
i'm keeping up with arms/survival in high keys right now
is 65% mastery okay ?
Gaze has so much masteryon it, it's so nice.
I miss my cat
:/ i still run champion renown
you'll get myth gaze SOON
TODAY
right now??
thing is gaze on champion is peobs better then all hero trinkets
surely
Hell yeah
in 3 weeks or so
if you want gaze just drop it?
once i spend all my bonus rolls on chim
what is the issue
i just wanted it used bonus roll and got it
works 100% of times for me
haha
anyone got new talent build ?
Are u mythic raiding fuu?
yes
yes it's the old talent build and also in the pins
Can't compete devourer with who I run
It makes me mad
but i was not in on last weeks chim kill
because we had to test some of our new trails
That sucks
dont worry you will be like me
One of the issues of making a really good trinket is that its bis for everyone
i still need to spend one of my bonusrolls
imagine
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is the sound I'd be making too tbh
No 289 dagger?
nope
Gonna slam Nexus and get the other ring
I have a 50/50 for Gaze or a Belt i already have with Socket
i am fucked
Luck might not be with you but we are
Damn
How much u simming?
i mean
I'd ask how but damn that's just real unlucky
our guild saw i think 1 gaze drop so far in mythic
and before that 1 on normal week one
Have you tried not being unlucky?
getting myth trinkets from fuu's list knowing he still has them on champ track
Gm guys, are we going back to the old build?
tbh i think its my account
i keep getting unlucky
I feel you. I'm in the same boat. Got super lucky with HC trinkets early on and haven't even seen a mythic weapon
So basically anyone that has it got from bonus rolls hahaha, i got Mine that way as well.
yes
anyone who got gaze
either got it in vault or bonusroll
and we have lik 21 people who needed it
Same for us 
we got like 3 mythic ones so far i think
think 23 even
Yeah, every class wants that shit
how dmg from 2set ring is calculated - does it count if both rings are on myth track?
soo is sub rogue cooked? do we still play mainly mastery stat
you just need both rings
what we cannot get is Guidon for our DK
but the set damage is fairly low
he still runs LFR
Good morning. I got nothing in vault, nothing on bonus rolls, nothing on chim pug. Cya next week š
Do we know how 298 sht will work? If we choose a dagger is our outlaw spec just chopped, or do we get to upgrade any wep as well to 298
They could have made the other trinkets a little better, the setup rn is exactly the same for every rogue
Find and pet a cat for good luck
I outrolled our DK and now he says i cursed him cause he cannot get it for weeks
the way it works for pvp is you get slivers and combine them into an item to upgrade a specific item. I imagine it's the same in pve. Get parts of it -> make upgrade item -> apply it. Probably infinitely
thats what he gets for being meta
we needed 3 - 2 droped on mythic 0 on heroic
it comes next week yea?
It was so weird to still be using normal guidon until this week
Been cooked for a long time what flavor are you looking for?
we upgrade cloak to 289 right?
Maybe next week. I've been in a diablo shaped hole for a week, I lost track of time.
loot is weird this seaosn
but idk
its fine
a lot of the systems are "win more" systems now
if you get good loot
you are more likely to get more good loot
Normal guidon is simmin better for you then hc/mytic puzzlebox?
if you got unlucky
you need longer to catch up
(because the ones you compete with get loot faster)
i don't think i saw many talk abut it, but its an interessting consequence
!guidon
Trickster Shadow Blades Optimization:
During Shadow Blades, line up your second Shadow Dance with the last 8 seconds of Shadow Blades instead of using them back-to-back. This allows you to fit another Secret Technique into Shadow Blades+Shadow Dance. It will not be supercharged but thats ok in this scenario.
I'm not sure I've noticed that but it feels like everything is just buried in m+ splits
Feel free to cue up the astronaut meme if you must
wow is more grindy now
and content is designed to last longer
e.g. why there is a weekly cap on crests still
and why content comes out more delayed
it changes perception for players
i think it being more grindy is v nice
they need you to play
i felt the tww was rlly boring
you keep activating the happy neurons more often, even tho you just get to do the same things spread out over a longer period of time
compared to have things faster
Crests ensure player retention for more weeks other than just raid logging
i don't say its bad
if they lift the cap we will stop palying
everyone enjoys diffrent things
exactly
wow is designed to decide how you play it
rather than putting the player in charge
weather thats good or bad
everyone needs to decide for themselves
How much haste was the breakpoint again?
aight ty
honestly i like the cap at first but they should remove it at .5
(including consumables)
i mean its all of it
i dont want to have unlifted cap since begining cause i would not be able to compete with players who can play 24/7
e.g. think of this patch
the item upgrade for your weapons/trinkets
is 4 weeks delayed
by doing this
ye got 709 haste with consumes
you have something to do for 4 weeks to even get your first upgrade
you keep plaiyng
and then there will be the next patch
with another system that unlocks power
again not immidiatly
Yep
yeah and it makes you play
log in everyday
and not to work
which i am supposed to be at now
if i explain my boss that my productivity is lower cause of 289 item will he understand
think its a interessting discussion
as it coms down to perspective
like, there is nothing in making things engaging
e.g. youtube, twitter, even news sites
That whole paradigm is why it's becoming harder and harder for me to justify an ongoing sub if it feels like there's a treadmill that I just don't feel like getting on
without a good algorithm are fairly meh
but once its spinning its hard to get off
but how much should you be able to be in control over things
For example: why should I buy the expansion on launch if it's becoming a beta test? Why not but the expansion halfway through when all the systems are finally implemented?
and how much should companies impact your decision via psychological tricks?
Actually true though, legs just keep on walking like magic
I mean, the treadmill is the game
wow is basically
the journey is the goal
Well yes
you play wow because you like to get power by grinding
@vale pine is bislist on wowhead accurate for this patch?
wasn't it the other way around?
i updated it on sunday or monday with the sims i did, so yes
800 with guidom, 700 without?
Nope you have it reversed Rob
nope
aleria neck is nice
sweet sweet aleria neck
I think sub in keys
oh wait we are talking about an iutem
Kinda good
all this time I was using haste flask because I didn't have 800 haste 
systems change in interessting ways
i kind of would want to write a post about it
Boy do I have good news for you
and like
grind games are popular
e.g. runescape still has a big fanbase
and its entire gameplay loop is boring and grindy (to me)
I don't know about big but yeah, very dedicated
They did some tomfoolery with their subscription pricing
wow i feel like falls into the same categroy, maybe with a higher reach
i don't think wow grows that much
I'd say that's fair
so what wow is optimizing is player retention
and it does so by spreading content out more
so you keep playing
and making things more grindy
without it feeling like that
It's clearly working right?
Well yeah. No one really knows but I have to kinda just accept it's working. It's gotta be if that's what they're leaning into so hard
think its more the sticky nature of games
like wow was the first rly massive success
and people like to stick to one game
it's a big problem for publishers
sunk cost
imo, housing, pet battles, side quests, .....etc all this side things is what making the game alive for the psycho players of M+, arena, and raids
wow players the same
most play other games on the side, but many stick in the blizz universe
and many only play wow
burn toast, which is what playing rogue is like š
Cigarette and alcohol manufacturers figured it out a long time ago in America, almost certainly elsewhere too 
we see it in guild events often
@vale pine Is something bricked witth tfd? It adds 4 sec of dance on tooltip, instead of 3
true, i categorize myself as WOW-er, not a gamer, same game since it's release
nothing i know of
we often organized events with guild on the side
tried to find games people can play cheap/freely
especially when content drought hits
it was almost impossible to motivate more than a handful of people to participate
01 - Metallica - sad but true.mp3
my ex guild we used to play strategy games sometimes, like AOE, Lord of the rings and generals. was kinda cool "{
which are you enjoying more at the moment sin or sub more? im heavily debating on which to play
We used to play gartic phone every once in a while, its a good time
we also have people who play certain other games, or tried out small group games
but nothing sticked even if you got 1-2 people to try and they voiced linking it
its just that people who play wow
Is the tfd added duration scales on haste?
want to play wow, nothing else
yes
With Mastery being "better" again, does Puzzlebox outshine Guidon/Gaze then?
I have a mythic puzzlebox in vault, currently wearing a hero Guidon & hero solarflare
I got 74% currently, puzzlebox is pointless I assume?
what would be high mastery?
and if you change stats, the diffrence is not too big
like in m+
you typcially invest a lot into mastery
Is waiting to see what drops in mythic raid before chosing vault reward considered a dick move?
not rly
you can bonusroll too
which is valuable
I was in a guild that did we were here as a team building exercise and it just kinda happened as you described. Maybe* maybe* half the raid showed up. To play a free game on steam. So yeah. I get it :\
i am seinding mine in nexus point
your vault likely does not have gigantic upgrades
do I also invest as much in mastery for raid, or is here crit > mastery and also guidon > puzzle?
its either boots or waist
@vale pine we are going back to the old bis list since cloud is over, right?
you want to balance crit and mastery out more
so i am wanting to wait to see if i get any of them in raid
kinda yes
very similar
fuu when is the updated spreadsheet coming out
We had people play even payd game like phasmophobia, peak or dead by daylight
I already started to adjust things, doing hard mastery now. Im around 26% crit atm
but its down to one individual wanting to play mostly
okay, so I just get my haste break point, e.g. 7xx~ish with guidon and balance crit&mastery for raid, but for m+ i just go deep into mastery?
im finally free from box at least for me it simmed a bit higher on hero like 1k dps than box
these games are all more sticky
neither of them did stick with most
the problem there is too
that there is a certain skill celling involved in most of them
when comparing stuff in sims, should i usually check dungeon slice or patchwerk btw.?
!sheet
for raid patchwerk
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
will spreadsheet be updated soon
is deathstalker simming higher bait?
i updated it on monday or so
i only rly need to re-run the sims with the new official changes
and not the overwrites
so numbers will go up marginally
mythic+ sims i need to still do again (dungeon slice)
oh nice
