do I lose any damage from having AA up when I press sectech?
yeah but I've been pressing backstab at max cp before pressing my cds to activate aa...
I've been "minmaxing" a fucking damage loss gg
anyone do raid with deathstalker today?
Well you cant proc the ancient arts when premed is up
Because of a bug
So
yo team
Is it me or we are currently the squishiest spec in the game ? since we play without versa, I get obliterated by anything in 18's. Even though I use feint, vial, vanish, cloak and all that stuff corretly, I sometimes get in situations where i get fucked hard. I just did a terrasse 18, a single death, but oh man I was holding my breath the entire time
should I put some versa on gems/enchant ?
I currently run this
its u
well, ty 🙁
😛
oh yeah mb, terrace maybe ?
yeah figured that out lol
are you playing cheat
yeah, should i swap to enhanced feint ?
its alot of rng aswell and if you are NE or not, or if others are
but yeah 18s prob time to ditch cheat
Also your mileage is gonna vary a lot based on how good your healer is
especially with pug healers
But yes elusiveness is the goto for high keys
Is arcanoweave really the best embellishment
I didn't die there weirdly enough, but I got a lot of glaives casted at me, so I quickly used vanish and cloak, soooo sometimes I had to deal with it
dot trucks as well
idk everything hurts there
take feint, press it and pray harder
will do, thanks !
With new Deathstalker build are we supposed to line up 2nd DN in Shadowblades with supercharged points too? Timing seems a little funky.
Have the gear/haste breakpoint (1,103)
How is hunt that good
Should be unless shits been scaling weirdly, i would very surprised if there was another one that was simming higher than within margin
no fucking clue lmao it doesnt make sense
cuz no pants exist in the game
even when it procs haste it's supposedly not shit
I thought beloren dagger + double arcanoweave would be good
But no
I just need to drop bracer ig

Well because the stat is random the numbers on it is higher
i went down a 30 min (maybe longer) rabbit hole of setting this up
and yeah just turns out the worst option sims better than 2x arcanoweave
i would have thought after breakpoint haste massively loses value
It does lose value
actual hunt might not be as good as the simulation, depending on the type of mob, right?

But again, the numbers on hunt is just higher
^
i checked 
big n umber good i guess
It should be close. It was better for me.
Its like -400 for me
but my sims want mastery / vers now lol
just so I have a better understanding for DS, are we waiting to send dances for when DN and sectech can be supercharged, or just DN and if sectech happens to be the 2nd finisher that's cool, on account of it being weaker for DS
what does the belt cata into?
I feel like I have a wire or two crossed while ironing out the gameplay flow
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: Spreadsheet
hmm
sim saying i dont need 700 haste anymore and to prioritize crit/mastery over it, this accurate or is it buggin?

sry!
no wukkas
another probably dumb question (sry in advance) assuming you have enough haste is there ever a point where you take something else instead of phoenix oil?
you can use 1x adamite sharping stone (BC item)
on your mainhand
ty
that one isnt in the faq 
with Adamantite Stone
Do I want to go over 1100 haste a little or try to be as close as I can?
no reason to go over
🙂
i may start swapping gems depending on how pulls deel
As long as you can hit all of your globals in dance without issue youre good
im at 1123 but I can drop to 1102 with gem switches for crit
i've done it guys, i have so little vers that droptimizer really wants me to get more vers
i would like to speak to your droptimizer
we take mastery in algethar?
83 vers is crazy
is that just from tier
DS lowkey feels clean with the 1100 haste
holy
only used it on first 2 tho lol
tier helmet + mainhand vor weapon
yeah mines only tier helmet
apparently my top drop is catalyst belt xD
with haste vers
literally less haste than i have now too, and im not quite at 1100, i assume the sim wants more liek 1k right? like how before the sim wanted like 650 or whatever
anyone else when they sim a droptimizer the cosmos neck is -1000 dps as trickster no idea why its doing that
too much haste maybe?
yeah my droptimizer is suggesting to take vers over crit/mast lol
i stopped doing droptimizers ever since i got 288
interesting to see
is sub bugged right now? my shadow dance isnt benefiting from haste at all
only meaningful upgrade is replacing my hero light ring with a myth one
maybe npx will be nice to me this week
droptimizer is kinda broken for sub because it only considers 1 piece at a time, so if you are slightly above the breakpoint it thinks haste is dogshit and if you are slightly below it it thinks haste is god tier
yeah ima bonus roll and get it tonight 🙏 and jut fix everything to have 700 again
i mean i've been seeing consistent results as long as i dont put an oil
most spec just get to go "these things have mastery, i should get them all"
Talent out of deepening shadows and back into it
thank you
yeah its big chunky dps
Are yall just blasting through the interrupt portion of P1 L'ura and sending on CD, or holding until after first set?
You never hold CDs on that fight, other than the end of P3if the boss is low enough
Im in my cooldowns during the interrupts though- isnt she DR'd the whole time?
guys what do i do when i'm getting my darkest night with 10 seconds before blades
its not a dr in mythic
do i just sit and build SHT or do i just send
it increases her damage instead
wait, wait- wait, wait.
She doesnt take reduced damage in her interrupt phase?
Watch me run it down in 4k lads 
thank you kind person.
i tried on averzian played like shit did 30k more boss damage than everyone else
I borked like 3 dances
they feel awkward with the different stipulations vs trickster
yea my smol brain had a lot of brainfarts
I need to finish rewiring my brain after hundreds of trickster pulls
the muscle memory does not like this lol
if you arent exactly at 1100 haste you dont have that mamba mentality
now hold my beer while i grey parse
I'm 19 haste off from that which is fine
I'm not gonna swap a gem from my regular trickster set to get closer
I can regularly hit my 2x DN's in blades and the Sit on One Stack then Evisc Dance+Storm thing
so I feel decent
need to play with it a lot more before I can give any advice lol
alleria neck tmrw
Should be pretty tank you can time dance as a dr aswell
sub is far from the squishiest
yeah i'm hoping that maybe gloomblade enthusiast will see it without me pinging them
that fella has been a DS freak since day 1
Now imagine we still had a fuckton of vers

YellowDK
probably
booooo ds
i agree
i will grumble and groan and yet i will still play it
we just have insane add damage on lura
like, they're dead insta
so i'm just playing DS and tunneling boss
are you based and tricksterpilled
ds lowkey dummy boss damage
I have a question for you guys, im noticing with lust i can fit in 2 ST inside blades window, but i can only get 1 with supercharged. Should i send both or save ST for next dance and have it supercharged?
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.
nvm
Is that just for trick? or we doing that for DS as well?
where is the FAQ?
Outside of BL, and with 700 haste + Guidon, you can fit a 2nd Sectec with both Shadowblade + dance. During BL you can do the same but the second sec tec will be supercharged. Be sure to use the second Dance at the 8s mark of shadow blade
most people send cds when the adds spawn
you get them back for egg 1
unless you push too fast
A nice website to see what everyone is doing cdwise on any given boss is this one :
https://lorrgs.io/spec_ranking/rogue-subtlety/beloren-child-of-alar
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
better check if your RL is making you guys hold dmg and push boss at ~2:50ish
this too
we did it fam
\o/
my guild is barely killing crystals in time on lura
so staying trickster the play for now
chim as DS WHAT GOULD GO WRONG?!?!
chim flies away and never comes back
had it do that to me even with the mark mover
my sim is telling me that an avoidance and stam enchant will give me +300 dps
chat how do i convince guild they need a rogue on lura
why would you not run a rogue on lura
thats what im saying
Yo guys, never played Deathstalker before, I've looked a few guides and it looks like the rotation is the same in ST? Or am I trippin?
Anyone knows, if the "smoke" (trickster hero talents) works on the same abilities as atrophic poison (that is to say, doesn't work on lots of stuff)? Thinking of m+ boss abilities, trash bleeds/dots/aoe etc
run more DKs
Is it fine to start the SD/SS Macro w/ Guidon?
is sec tech busted whats going on lol
busted how
i assume atrophic works on everything on lura
also if you're on the left boss in P3 you reduce the dmg for both groups
third bonus roll and still no guidon 🙁 100% chance next week!
didnt feel like working on crystals for some reason
I might have blacked out and they weren't under boss
i was in the middle of a hunt man 
yep whole raid just got booted
nerf blood dk and sub rogue is what im seein :/
real
area 52 is cooked too rn
ret doesnt have a single crafted item 
getting back in rn but who knows how long that'll last
ye a52 and stormrage go kaboom
yeah we just took our mid raid break
One night of
and I never want to log off the DK again
yeah I did a few chim pulls and that's enough for the rest of my life
we still have folks unable to log in
on Ghostlands
ye same on a52
most of us are back but some still cant

its ok its just a healer so no one important
moggin' while loggin'
anyone blasting with ds tonight?
I topped boss dmg on Chim. Parsed a 21 
My Sim is saying puzzlebox for M+ over Guidon, is it worth to move some gems n stats around to make the haste breakpoint for the switch?
just smashed my desk on belo'ren because half the raid cant play becuase of world server issues FIX THE GAME BLIZZARD

R servers up
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cZj39WgRPCmak2Lz?fight=16&type=damage-done anyone mind taking a look at my logs for M chim and Averzian? I lagged out for a few second on Averzian but still https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cZj39WgRPCmak2Lz?fight=20&type=damage-done
Reset when in server time ?
wooosahhh
?
our whole raid managed to get back in
MUST BE NICE
IT IS NICE TY
we're getting periodic dc's again
was fine clearing trash but soon as we got to saladbar its bad vibes
someone had their entire UI reset
this game is so stupid lmao
get one person in, another disconnects
ad nauseum
we're gonna call raid in 5mins
Lmao I just let it sit there trying to log in and after 15 mins of doomscrolling I see a loading screen pop up and there's my warrior, in the middle of nowhere
(I tried to log into my rogue)
Blizzard trolling the fuck outta me rn
We alrady called it
i made a tricky set from my DS set while waiting LOL
this is what happens to the servers when blizzard tries to make
bis
this is the most real conspiracy i've ever read
so much singular focus in a night bricked the servers
imagine if it actually did damage too
Clones blowing up locks. dN blowing up servers.
hello for m+ what's better to play now Deathstalker or Trickster ? As sub
Never DS in keys
even with change they did?
why would a ST buff be good for keys?
Its a ST buff
you weren’t playing
in keys when it was 5% ahead in ST. Another 1% ain’t changing that. 
play it out of spite
I can't hate myself that much
play it for the love hate of the game
so we wanna play ds in raid now?
you can if you want
does anyone know whats up with wcl showing my lower realm chim
i.e the one where the logger wasnt in my realm
yet initially it was showing main realm
takes a while to update sometimes
like an hour or so
no i mean when it first went down
it was showing from the person who was in my realm
now 3h later its showing the lower one on my page
!aa
Apex talent optimization:
- Is shadow dance up? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have 5 or more stacks of shadow techniques? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Do you have Darkest Night up OR A supercharged combo point? - :ballot_box_with_check: Yes
- Is ancient arts up? - :x: No
If all of the above are true, use cast a Shadowstrike / Shuriken Storm (even if on full cp).
Is DS really that bad rotationally? I’m thinking about making the swap for Lura prog
Idk adds kinda fall over so don’t need the cleave
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
personal preference
some people enjoy it, others not so much
Hey guys we are apexing supercharged finishers by casting shadowstrike when full cp, then aren't we supposed to do the same if full cp + next shadowstrike makes coup usable ? Like isn't coup kind of a super supercharged evis ?
UNC
AI helped make this for me
ALLERIA NECK OR NO?
I BELIEVE
no more reclearing either
full extending
i actually got bracers
taht would be good for DS
and i don't have myth bracers yet
ive been rocking these since the start 💯
so i either take that or socket
huge
the bracers i have in vault are haste/mast
good for DS
i actually can drop a bit haste for trickster
currently in law gear
need to regem before raid..
everything costs even breathing
lol true
" if you get hit by those I will instantly kick you from the group " works very well
did u see my crazy lura play
i was literally gaslighting my rl that i never even had a seed on me
i didnt even know this happened ? HAHA
lol nice
i'm just doing IO keys with my warr friend
if he's not on to do em
i'm not doing em
i didnt notice u asking what happened
so here is the clip again of me being racist
lol nice
very real 💯
yeah i started getting fomo again recently
had to remind myself
YOU'RE NOT PUSHING
IT'S OK TO BE BEHIND
i mean
the way its going
its gonna end up like 4k something
+last week of everyone boosting to title
maybe even 4,1 who knows
How was DS for people raiding tonight? I won’t be able to play til Thurs
keep resisting
ok ds owns on lura
so so much dam
got boss to 8% in p4 so its dead next raid i misplayed hella with the dam too hehe
sometimes i fuck up my shadowdance charges like not having 2 in sblades cause i charged a random dn apex evis with shadowdance
but idk feels ok
VS imo
VS 3 fist boss are pretty straight forward. Chim strat is more tricky
pug hazard
Alright, I'd recommand VS anyway. The first 3 are kinda free now with current gear
Aight
i am resist
Bruh I need one more key and people keep fuckn bricking

just one more key
I need to keep ahead of the dk
it's always 1 more key
until you're cowering in the corner of your room babbling to yourself incoherently
lol I saw you practicing on the dummy earlier today too - I just decided to stay as Trickster for tonight but I'll probably practice DS more before my next raid
lmfao yessirrr always gotta put da shwork in
some more logs to look at the next few days as well, only a couple new kills from tonight
Do you actually time you dances for add spawns still? I tried not giving a frick yesterday and it felt good 😄
ITS ALWAYS ONE KEY UNTIL U SEE THE LIGHT AND BIRDS ARE CHIRPING OUTSIDE

fym in the mines
he's an aussie, maybe they're chirping

he does answer english questions sometimes too

hell yeah
🫡
in the sub faq its moslty just doing the apex optimization everytime entering your dances ideally at 1 stack of mark
Is stealth track able in cdm?
i'm testing DS on the dummies and it's a lot more chill when you stop trying to force 1 mark and pooling 5 sht before every dance
and panicking when it doesn't happen
i looked at logs and people aren't doing it every time too
you just kinda go with what you have
The main diffrence is:
- You start dance with low cp, and storm first gcd -> new dance + storm macro.
- You need to get your haste value higher to get full benefits from the hero talent, the diffrence in output is minimal without stat changes.
- The AA optimization changes, you optimize around DN too now, so strike for apex if needed before evis.
- On encounters, you will need to pay attention to deathstalkers mark, and use marked for death if it either bugs out or you need to target swap.
hey, what is the setting that allows you to see your apex talent proc? I might have lowered it by mistake lol
ancient arts is the buff to track in the cdn
Hey what flask should I run in mythic +? I was running crit for a while but recently swapped too mastery to get my stats more in line.
there is a setting for the proc visuals too if you mean that
yes, visual on that is better for me, personally.
hello rogue, im new on discord, deathstalkers and tricster are similar , or one is highter ?
Deathstalker is stronger in single target but more annoying to play. Trickster is fine for all content.
You also need to aim for considerably different haste amounts (Trickster = 700 with guidon, 800 w/o. 1100 for DS)
ho ok 1100 😮 !
learn trickster first
you will be using trickster on way more stuff than DS
also trickster still won't be "bad" on DS bosses
Should be this option in the general tab of the acessability options
set it to max
I'm not sure there's any content that requires DS at this point. I imagine you can just play trickster on everything, esp with the %increase in raid groups atm. @tribal blade Would DS be better in high keys? I kinda assume not
Trickster will also be the probably prefered spec in the 12.0.7 raid
a lot of adds/aoe
ty
I’m debating if it’s even worth to swap to DS for lura
6 single target bosses
or im mad
6 volcorosses
until i see some DS logs actually cranking its sim bait 
if you have the haste, go for it
if you don't, nah
LOOK AT HOW MUCH (boss) DAMAGE I'M DOING
absolute fucking copers
Rank 1 sub on the 2nd boss is DS
Ye true
My Dh as just swapped to add damage build now
So adds just gonna blow up
DS performs quite well, we probably will see logs appear of it on the single target heavy fights
yeah trickster is more than capable even on the bosses that DS is better on
What was their total dam, outta interest?
does the sim understand i need 1100 haste as deathstalker? It does not want me to use haste flask, and im at like 900 haste
like 3-4k more than 2nd place iirc
Let me get a log for the whole night
1 was playing add dmg the other not
Nod
And the one not was basically getting capped overall
is that because he was PI'd or does that not count?
damn, 147k overall on vora is big
PI is not great on sub
Argument to say my add dmg was pretty dire
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1k4Zgrfadjvhp9LW?boss=3183&difficulty=5&wipes=1&type=damage-done&target=87 this was our cystal dmg tonight
i don't think i can swap off trickster right now
how can I sim the TBC sharpening stone with ra idbots ?
there have been quite a few times me being trickster is the diff on killing the crystals
if it's for haste reasons you can just put on the whetstone or something

nah i just wanna see how much damage it gives compared to the oils
Gotta delay blades if you wanna pad on the crystals tbh
Yeah not happening
I did 13m crystal dmg last week
By how long?
yeah my guild is not exactly full of blasters haha
I saw Dmg used blades at around 2 secs in
so guild not full of blasters=trickster kinda better on lura
Ye makes sense tbf
Our WW blows adds up
You p much send the first sectech on the crystal spawn
yeah our ele does too esp in opener, but some of the later sets become very sus
Does that not omega fuck the rest of the pull?
our WW is usually a blaster though so maybe once he's more comfortable he'll start doing mega dam
and then i can think about swapping DS possibly
@native zodiac Do you have a WW or Naa
hope i have that right
yeah people were saying taht
but i'm able to have full dance coverage on crystals
Yeah same
which means they're not getting blowed up fast haha
sorry if that was confusing, i meant the crystals are alive over my entire dance duration
yeah the later ones
Maybe 5 secs of it
not dying fast
it might be slightly longer than that for me too, it's hard to know exactly
I was outlaw for every boss
Until last 2
I get like this every season tho
Play first bosses on outlaw then get bored 
I think next tier I’ll just play w/e is meta
@tribal blade are enjoying lura
I think it’s pretty fun
is there something missing from the wowhead opener? im following it but pretty much always entering dance with 2 mark stacks, instead of the optimal 1
yeah! i am, but it's skewed for us because not doing crystal/memory game means we're kinda just vibing haha
i feel for the people doing all the mechanics
My guild (you know the one) is full of padding dogs

my cooldowns just align
- our ret player
👀
not really any way to force it unless you delay cds
Ever had your raid leader die to glaive get rez’d in a glance and scream so loud it almost hurt
so we're only kinda forcing it in subsequent dances, not the opener?
i'm still new to this DS rotation so not 100% sure, but yes
no worries ty
Scryn rerolled to resto Druid and if he pops tranq they snipe him, every time

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mgpHTwqsVvd9JNwBxjCrvx here are my sims today in Deathstalker, i have only 750 haste after flask and oils, i can get more haste from other pieces of gear in my bags (ring haste crit from 289 for exemple). Is it because of guidon? i'm far from de the 1100 haste cap but my top gear doesn't care
I’m doing the kick but I mean that’s it - I also griefed my guild for 14 pulls not realising I didn’t replace my kick with @boss2 kick

Watch Keksecute's clip titled "Excellent work, Agent 47 & 46. The target has been eliminated."
HAHA oh nooo
i literally replaced both my regular kick and focus kick with the macro
on my lura loadout
yeah i have a talent tree saved specifically for lura
where it's just that macro replaced
also naohwqol will save presets for keys
whoops
it'll alert you when you're in the wrong talent set up for a key
this addon is overall really useful
can i pick and choose which shit i dont want from him
LOL true
i think this one is super light weight though
ohly shit hahahahaha

I SAW THAT

Oh no
Is it weird that tier legs are simming highest for me?
yeah muricans not so hot on that word haha

Also the core of this guild has been around each other since the guild was called ajantis and we weren’t all washed up and old so it’s chill

I’ve seen more comments this season about rogues being unpopular etc than ever before
Rework for next season, right?
👀
yeah it's actually become a thing where not only rogues are aware of
the broader wow community knows now mainly because of this last RWF
so i'm holding out some cope
I get bullied by my raid becouse i play rogue 🙂
We all do brother, we all do
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/rogue-needs-to-bring-a-real-raid-buff/2304579 btw hit this with a like and comment if you guys can
Hi! I’m Prophet and I’m a 4 time 0.1% M+ title holder (retired now though) and CE raider. I’m also a die hard rogue and very active in the sub rogue channel of the rogue discord. I’m not going to create a long wishlist here because I believe 80% of the issues rogues are facing currently can be solved with 1 simple thing- a real raid buf...
the crusade continues
Lol I have the same keyboard
my desk isn't like that tho
also i'm gonna murder mafic
haha nice
i don't think so lemme see
i'm not gonna ignore him
because i like hate watching sometimes
its not wrong
if you are always tuned strong, you don't need a raid buff
DK is a good example of it, even tho they technically have a lot of things they bring else
What if you’re tuned not that good, don’t have a defined niche and have a mid to non functional raid buff
thats perspective
But you’ve got good banter so you’re in anyway
raid buff is not always a win
i see the point
look at Evoker "buff"
it depends on the person you talk to, how this discussion ends up
e.g. at the start of the beta, subtlety was unplayable
one side did say
but i still think it would be far better if rogue had a raid buff because blizz clearly doesn't tune around that
well that's not really a dmg buff anyways
Just change the DR to some kind of damage amp and it’s fine
"You are not allwed to complain, because its clearly not the final version"
the other side
“This target has 3% chance to be crit”
"Please complain, to make the problem visible, we can't trust in its visibility without"
which one is better, is discussable
if you want to have a mainly positive discussion, the earlier
I don’t disagree but I think that’s too meta, go one step deeper and just ask do you think rogue is in a good spot / do you think a few small changes could improve rogue gameplay
And in the end a middle path is the best
It is, in my opinion, not good to shut down discussions and complains simply to have a positive feedback
yes but also mafic should be shut down and shut off
Who
you dont want to know
and people have diffrent amounts of trust in blizz
e.g. you see this often in discussion
where my trust level is not as high as e.g. guys
Which guy?
foreverguy
He called me a schizo for making a joke about blizz once like jeez lmao
Now this guy is schizo
that's honestly not the bad part, the bad part is the takes he has
Bro got ganked in 2005 and been plotting on rogues ever since
it's very frustrating reading everything he posts
Damage knob tuning is never a long-term solution as it will shift every season. Raid buff or fundamental changes are far better longer term solutions 'cos they exist outside the scale of damage tuning. It's why a raid buff is the logical solution to the current problems
What happens when it turns out that prophet was Mafic all along
Which is why we should give the raid +10% speed
think its just like on wowhead posts
you always have the guy complaining about w/e
I was trying to make a joke but you got in before the punchline
yeah wowhead is pretty bad too sometimes
Someday he will do content. Any content.
i actually never read wowhead comments, but sometimes i do and i regret it every time
funniest thing was the one person complaining no arcane mage buffs
The mid season out of no where kill MM treatment?
on a tank tuning post
Huge fan
Their raid buff went from being fairly low in impact, to one of the stronger ones
it's just not possible to have a good outlook on the state of rogue if you do 0 content in game
I’m going to start adding /s
some are funny
But yeah absolutely, just make it some form of +dmg and it’s fine
Ye. It's not even like you need to be doing your level of content, or mine. Just playing the game is enough
I’ll never forget that reddit post saying rogues are op and then he went on to mention black powder like aoe is this amazing new ability for us to have (don’t get me wrong, I like bp for big aoe obviously, but like cmon it’s hardly unique lmao)
yes precisely
haha ye, was a funny one
we all know the real content is idling in towns though
to be fair, ragebait is efficient
True I lowkey enjoy when the game calms down
for what its worth
the initial version of black powder, called shadow vault
did shortly lock you up in the animation
Oof
and had a visual knock up effect
I remember that, like DFA
which did negate fall damage
Remember when DFA was a thing
a popular streamer back then, who tested it
Yeah no I much prefer our bp as it is, it’s amazing but it just feels terrible in low numbers
got excited about
how overpowered the ability was
because you could
IF you had enough combo points
jump down and use shadow vault to not die
completely broken, right
stonks
especially if almost all classes can negate fall damage without extra conditions
I played a theater of pain in beta with shadow vault and died 3 times cause of it
but ngl it was kinda nice playing outlaw for that one expansion cuz of hook to negate fall dmg
you can still do it with shadowstep but need convinient target
for me, the main issue with it was:
- The positional lock
- The low damage
I do really hate raid buffs tho, like it feels awful playing any melee atm without a shaman in the group
you spamming an ability every 2nd gcd that locks you in place shortly
is not interessting
shaman buff should just give mastery
the windfury was a mistake
too polarizing for a raid buff
but for somoene who looks at it from a diffrent scope, its exciting
"look i can negate fall damage"
and the concerns of damage and gcd lock are dismissable
3% haste or 3% crit and we in every fight
Ye
I think we now have a good point to ask for a better raid buff
because i could see
the development team seeing a rogue in play in the wfr
and assuming its perfectly fine as is
Even exile said that it was way better if they brought another udk
Didn’t exile say himself that he shouldn’t have been there
No reason for a rogue there
the last world first race
Ye
made it very obviouse that rogue was not bringing enough to justify a raid spot
and if something is this obviouse
Nah works out p well
everyone can pick it up
so you saw it come up in talks during/after a lot more
we still need to see if 12.1 rly does something
If you are still in prog you can try it out, the only thing that you will have to adjust is that your lust burst is slightly delayed but it fits into lust still
2% crit & haste raid buff aura to call it day and fuck off with atrophic
- its kinda during the move so you need to get uptime while running
I think 3% crit would fit the class very well
We had that in the past too
I don't rly know what the best raid buff would be
i also wonder how raid buffs get handled if flex raiding mythic becomes a thing
1 shot bosses
we could bring crit damage buffs
I wonder what would happen if they just remove all raid buffs and maybe add utility spells onto classes that make them unique enough, I think stuff like 3% vers, 5% int or whatever is soooo boring
i would assume class stacking
without raid buffs
yeah but that also happens now 
why bring something thats not op
5 rogue kil Jaeden
well you still have all raid buffs covered
like max said that they would've played 7 hunters on paladins if they had a few more prepped
so "it still happens now"
basically means the current framework allows for a certain flexibility, which is used
3% crit -- something we should have always had (along with physical amp
Class stack still happens but, the only raid buff that is ignored is rogue, and that says a lot imo
but also currenlty if your guild only has 1 warrior and that guy suddenly is away
you lose so much
and paladin to a certain extent
i mean warrior would not be playing
so I feel like everyone having a raid buff is actually less flexible
if the raid buff was not there
and neither of their specs was meta
same with many classes
but e.g. DH you will always have 1
what if we just make it that your raid gets a dmg%/heal% for each unique class used
yeah but classes are also balanced around raid buffs currently
promotes you to have each once
even if it isn't the best
Rogue needs to be good to be in, not even okay is enough
like warrior cant be turbo op on its own, cause it also brings 5% AP
Meanwhile hunters raidbuff is so good now you will be bringing 2 as soon as theres an meaningful add on any fight
remove the raid buff -> you have more room to actually tune the class it self
you sure?

like rogue is middle of the pack, with the least impactful raid buff
yeah thats why DKs have been doing so much damage because they dont have a raid buff
while dh is upper 3rd with the most impactful one
3% magic is fucked
I guess yeah, I guess the classes are balanced around having every raid buff aswell? idk tho maybe im just saying shit
are they?
hows arcane mage doing
which make the theory of "tuning around raid buffs" not work out
that's not true. All classes that are top DPS atm are providing amazing raid buffs. I.E Mage, DH, Monk, Arms, or Demo Lock
also for m+
druid makes my m+ easy
i'm 90% sure all the top comps for m+ have had a druid
m+ might be the best measurement for it
for the last 10 seasons or something
because in m+, you have only limited access to raid buffs
mark is really strong
i fucking hate mark
means, if m+ is balanced
and they are like, strong as a class too
that guys a dick
you see a good spread of classes
if raid buffs are even designed/tuned around raiding
you would see non raid buff classes dominate m+
if we look at the top logs
Unholy is the only spec that does not bring a raid buff that sees a lot of play
I guess u could make the argument here tho that its a perfect example of not needing to have a raid buff to be brought
i think the term "raid buff" is a bad definition of usefullness
because you can also point to warlocks who don't have a raid buff
and are tuned very high for a long time now
yeah they have intersting utility
yet i haven't heard a single warlock go "we dont have a raid buff"
they got like 3
and dk's have 2 (grips) 
like I think grip/gate/even healthstones are 100 times more interesting than I clicked my button now everyone has 3% vers
warlocks have gate and stones ^^
Yea, they might be, but what u gonna give a rogue thats similar
its difficult
or like if the 3% magic damage that chaos brand brings, if that had to be applied/maintained in any interesting way I would find that cool
does Atrophic work on both sides in P3 Lu're?
what im really saying is, bring back expose armor 
You need to be left side
which is now darkness ^^
left boss is the real boss
All the damage originates from the left Lura
20% DR 8 second smokebomb 
no
rogue also had 5% crit buff 
we sure do bring this up a lot
I want dmg taken increase in execute poison so bad man
I mean, classes either have utility or raid buffs. Our utility is shroud which is borderline useless nowadays and our raid buff is 3% damage reduction
💀
becuase what else is there to do when we bring 0 effective raid buff, 0 utility
pure dps class with 0 offensive raid buff, a singular aoe interrupt that doesnt work on some mobs
our only unique utility that blizzard actively works to make sure it's not useful in any meaningful content
haha ye
And our immune is on a 2min cd unlike DK's 45cd that is functionally the same
we also had raid wide no parry
Cept for some stuff you can't face tank with
even tho not intentional
same or better*
an immune that works most of the time
except on random shit
like skyreach last boss
Rogue almost had restless crew xdd
was
and grips are op in m+
does cloak not work on that?
only the first second of cloak

Think it always comes down to the extend you can exploit it
e.g. if you remember
priest mc was as good as shroud before they put vision on every mob
better than shroud tbh
and got changed after, because it was too easy to exploit
shroud on 0 cooldown
also unrelated but reeeeeee why do i have so much crit (don't answer that i know why)
just need the stupid neck from lura kill tonight

only 1 embelishment? 
oh yeah forgot i swapped that out
i was gonna use the capybara ring
but i dont have enough haste on other pieces
Based t1 moment
I gotta farm that one at one point but just finished t2
yeah lowkey the mog got me wanting to go do MC
been wearing this xmog ever since xmog came out and ahven't changed once except for a brief moment in SL where i used the s1 pvp set
Early tiers looked so amazing for Rogue
And I want original thunderfury too but oof
Gonna take a while
tbh i finished farming t2 after like 30 attempts on rag
and then put it on
and was like this is way too edgy for me
you can tmog it on dagger also or?
I used thunderfury for a like a day after farming it

double tf on dh just jumping around
Since I went panda I’m using hood of cursed dreams instead of eyepatch tho, love how it looks
‘Hehe sparkles’ bounce bounce
Hey guys, quick Sub Rogue question: I’m playing with Puzzle Box, and Shadow Blades has a 90 sec cooldown while Puzzle Box is 2 min. How should I line them up? Should I use Puzzle Box with every 3rd Shadow Blades and use the 2nd Shadow Blades without it, or should I delay Shadow Blades by 30 seconds each time to sync it with Puzzle Box?
Pbox = 3 min
Throw into ocean when you’re done
Haha yeah cant wait but i started raiding recently so no raid trinkets yet 🙁
Bless you
hope you get your trinkets in 1st try
We progging cosmos tonight
After my 14 hour work day
What are the odds of me wiping the raid
Non zero
1%
But not 100% either
