no, but claude will

What if we get the "sectec is usable 1 time per dance for free" talent?
26.4 patch
See you in 13.0 prepatch
They couldn’t even do that during alpha/beta to finish the haste rework after nuking haste-cdr dance
but dude, MS blew through their entire annual AI budget in 4 months. we're fine bro
This should be what Imp Sectech does
When rwf was over and sub was still left behind was about the point I gave up on this expac
I just ran a key where my guidon and blades kept desyncing by 7-15 seconds. how tf?! never happened b4
Weekly affix
affix
ohhh
Last Titan I'll probably just wait till a .7 patch when the game is 50% off retail
It reduces cdr on your abilities but not trinket
run 12s tbf
Ye 12’s are your friend, more crests no affixes
doing m+ as rogue is such pain
idk how I feel about higher keys not having affix
!commands
I enjoy affix-less keys because I feel like I can play the dungeon without feeling bad about not being able to do anything about most of them
Imagine doing a +12 and you have to go to the other side of a boss arena to get a pulsar orb that spawned where no one was standing
Can cloak the dispel every 2mins, assuming you don’t need it for anything in the dungeon
Imagine being able to blind all the orbs
it's so fucked how badly we get screwed over on dealing with affixes
Imagine being able to feign death literally every absorb
The orbiting orbs are fine, I’d like being able to Vial the dispel
isnt Feign off GCD too?
Emissary can troll hard
Now imagine you're able to cursor position a knock up trap right under the orbs
fucking 3.6% DR that doesn't matter?
Where can i link my gear to get some loot suggestions? Im max ilvl now.🤓
misdirect has more value than people give it credit for imo.
so true. i had to un learn lot of bad habits playing shaman
but the issue is it's not really appreciated by anyone not playing rogue
ddh can send stars and slams all day with a trickster in group and not worry
just sim it yourself,. or look at wowhead best gear page
Huge true. I like to be able to DPS recklessly even when my tank is doing 50k
Wowhead rings are mix, icy veins are nexus set. What should i preffer? Fuu, true?
just sim it and see which one gives you higher number for the content you care about
Nexus point is a good place to roll regardless
our dungeon slice is good enough iirc
You can sim all of that with gear sets on raidbots
Sims looks broken on max ilvl. The upgrades looks very rng..
Droptimizer doesn’t work very well with haste breakpoints fwiw
Its all abou keeping haste.
both are good, the nexus point rings are easier to get
One of the big reasons I’m wanting to drop this spec
the 0 utility, 0 attention didn't do you in first? shocker
but we're low pop guiz
Thx for responce. I appriciate any tip for next steps in my gear upgrades😘🙏🙏Summary: Grenthh - The Seat of the Triumvirate Level 19 (12:16 AM) - Report: VS / DR / MQD | Warcraft Logs https://share.google/gMHmEDDF1DVT7OKxy
They gave us the time of day to rework how haste works for the spec, first iteration was bad so they changed hasted dance and Sectech cdr to just Sectech, with dance duration extended by haste but it was going to lead to breakpoint issues either way. If they had actually devoted more time to fixing the spec after the changes in November things might have turned out better but that wasn’t on the docket for us
It’s just another case of sub ending up in an abandoned state after beta
And it’ll get piecemeal patchwork bandaid fixes as usual
not just the hastepoint but I really dislike that we've become just another iteration of the ret spec. Like everything else I loved about the spec was deleted in the transition to Midnight
Tbf most specs have become ret
yea, I understand taht we're low pop, but that can't be used to justify us getting fucked consistently
Across the board, specs lack depth
or rather, if that's going to be the perpetual state
I don’t even think it’s a population reason
fuck this, i'm out
this soo much
it's ok though, now we get a new xpac every 1.5 years!
you get to fork over 60 bucks every 1.5 year instead of every 2 years
Watch protpally in 16+
they actually have this thing called utility
that we lack
like you can affect whether your team blows up or not
You should tell them that they have it
shocker
truee
It would be news to many of them
idk I just disliked ret because of how popular it is, but maybe I'm approaching this from the wrong angle
I meant prot pally, bcs its hell at 16+ m
Yeah. Someone can say its broken mech by devs. If i compare it to sub rogue we are winners of this s1.:d and i dont have any reason to spit on itnhow it is
Prot was a very, very plate-spinny spec
guys the more i look at sims
i think ds in m+ may not be a joke
lmao
ive got some shit i wanna try with it, but i honestly hope it doesnt work
right now im looking at dropping a point in dark shadow to take both potent powder and dark brew
probably better to not take pp
Conceptually it would be cool if DS was good in m+ but that would take some heavy lifting to retool a lot of it
Surely the Blizzard devs decide to just random buff a thing, so they should make Singular Focus to like 10%
If Singular was good, DN evisc wasn’t locked to single-target Evisc, playing around Unshakeable Drive
Which sin does now in ST lol
Having meaningful funnel via Singular would be cool
But sub and funnel have a troubled past lol
I mean, it's just that Deathstalker sub isn't in a position to usefully utilise Singular Focus compared to the way Assa is
How so?
Conceptually hitting BP’s and Mass Casualty’s should work well with it
Or Sectech/clones
Ye, but compared to how assa is getting funnel out
Wym
Basically on sub, if you want to do funnel. You'd be not be doing BP. So you're just doing less funnel than assa. And if you decided to use evis, you're just not doing AOE compared to assa
Ye, but that is less effective than what assa can do
BP is doing reduced damage at 8+ targets
Meanwhile assa would get full SF value from every single bleed
And then just straight envenom spam is still doing more prio damage than Sub would. And you FOK for full CP every time
And with 8 mobs, you're basically not running out of energy
Though, Deathstalker assa before Caustic Spatter didn't work with Singular Focus was insane prio damage
Are u playing 1100 because theres zero reason otherwise to go ds
Go play with your pistols
you have no idea how hard im cooking right now
and by cooking
i mean burning the fuck out of it

I can see the smoke from here
Whats the cook bud
Ill go grief some keys and report back
Cinema stream inc from charrend
Is it my dark shadow brainstorm from last night
thats one part of it yeah
let me hit some dummies some more and see if this shit works or not
HAVE PATIENCE
i gotta make sure this shit cooks because if it doesnt
its the most cooked shit
this is 50/50 the stupidest idea ive ever had or the next step for humanity
no in between
Bros about to drop tornado goremaws
i wont lie i talented into shuriken tornado like 30 mins ago to see what it actually did
but thats not part of the cook
its not less, but not significantly better
I was under the impression 700 ds was below 700 trick or did the ds buffs make it neutral
Like 1.8% below

Subtlety Macros:
Here is a macro to make it easier to fit all of your globals into your Shadow Dances:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Secret Technique
Deathstalker likes to use this macro instead:
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Shuriken Storm
This can be combines with trinkes and other cooldown use.
/cast Shadow Blades
/use 13
/use 14
/use Light's Potential
/cast Ancestral Call
Trickster Rogues can combine Coup de Grace and Black Powder in one button:
/cast Coup de Grace
/cast Black Powder
You can find more macros and details in Guides like
WoWhead or
Icy Veins.
last time i checked it was about equal, slightly ahead for DS but within a very low damage range
so you won't rly see a diffrence in game
once you get your haste levels up, you would see a noticable gain on DS
Why is haste so important for DS compared to trickster?
hero talents empower diffrent parts of your toolkit
deathstalker has more power in the capstone note (DN)
which means you want to get as many DN evis in dance as possible
while trickster tries to fit 2 secret techniques in blades
the haste gives you longer dance duration, which increases the chance to hit multiple dn's during cooldowns
has premediation bug been fixed? do we use it again
we only dropped it because of cloud cover
cloud cover did tripple the effects of fazed related buffs
which empowered builders by quite a bit
which made losing aa procs more costly
the result was the drop of premeditation
but the "stacking" of these talents got removed
ooh that makes sense. Thanks!
which makes the trade off fine, and again in favor of premed
(i mean, we don't run cloud cover anymore, or well there might be niche situations its better like potentially during leveling)
another question, if I have both secret technique and coup de grace up going into a dance, do I still use ST as the first finisher?
ty ❤️
they got this guy in the mines on saturday
insane
It's good now? Got flasks and gems 🙂
Tad more haste or guidon
Yeah Guidon is next on my list 🙂 What amount of haste should I have if 700 is not enough?
700 with guidon, 800 without
I see 👍
Is it going to be like the selection of a new pope? Dark smoke = burned, light smoke = success?
just 98% timed my first ever 16. learning from all u goats
reading this chat gives orange parses
Im always mining
in dance at 1 mark before 2nd DN and apex is procced should we cancel it?
or is apexed mark > shadowstrike at max to proc apex > DN the correct play?
I saw some logs that someone macros Light potetial + Guidon instead of in macro Light potential+ Shadow blades, suggestions?
guidon is outside of blades, pot lasts long enough it prob doesnt matter.
probably better to macro it to blades tho
lights pot
So there should be 100% sure that light potential dont suffer same bug of refreshing stats to char vs server as guidon does with haste...✍?
gotta get the 💰 0shame getting to these dollarz
🎵 So way back in the mine, got our pickaxe swingin' from side to side, side-side to side 🎶
Creepa
Awww man
I think im gonna do solo queue m+ where i auto invite the first 2 dps that queue up, mandate 1 lust class, whether its healer or dps that queues first, and then finish filling with whoever signed up first
Thoughts gang?
See you in hell
please report back ind etail

make sure to queue up on charrote though
Oh wow now thats a cook
When do i even use pbox if thats the best thing igot since no feather or light companion
Every 3 mins
do i stealth shadowstrike pbox blades dance then
Yerp
Yero

nah i am getting held hostage in a key
and they are just perma typing refusing to ff
we are only 10 min in 💀
Perfect time to start a conversation
Ask them about cooking and if they don't reply, begin to tell them about cooking
i just got wished cancer and called the n word for telling them they are slow for not ffing
Start reading them a bedtime story

Something suitable for the intellect of someone who is that nasty online
HAng on I've got the perfect book

Can just read them this
My fav
I’m doing 19s and I feel like dmg might become an issue. Anyone pushing 20-22s as sub?
i have 1 20 timed as sub its kinda bootycheeks u have to press evis..
last time i chexken charrends site, some of the 20s he did had very similar dmg to his otlw/assasin keys
play law for insta invites lowkey
Salatikue has done all 22s. Sub is not horrible by any means, its actually quite solid
that guy is like astronomically dialed in though
I think the issue is that most of the highest rated rogues are playing outlaw, despite all three being fairly equal
Different strengths tho
honestly sub most monster in lower keys under 16 or so. beat those demos and uhdks. once groups start to last longer, you fall off
Sub is also strong at higher keys. It just kinda plateaus damage, but it's got solid and isn't bad at anything or "outside" CDs. Assa ST when not in CDs is not doing a lot, but sub constantly has sectec etc
Me having played every flavor of olaw and assa except sub this season solely for the reason i cant drop a guidon

sub underrated like they were in raids

I’ve had it sub is the worst spec in the game we need emergency buffs
Best we can get is 3% increase damage to backstab and 4% increase damage for instant poison
was he talking fr
?
is there a bis gear list for DS? or is it same list as Wowhead?
!fuu

just do what you can to get 1100 haste
is there anyway that we can get eversírate on cooldown manager?

/cast Black Powder``` is such a useful macro for that purpose. you don't even track it
put it on stealth bar btw !! 
it feeels so good that i dont see any mage on leader board after 20 years
there is one but we can ignore it
do we still have to roll on dungeons of exactly the same m+ level for the bad luck protection on bonus rolls? or do all dungeons above 10 share a pool now
Any level above 10
what is considered top myth 1% rn for gladiator achievement
Just add it in the CDM
itrs greyed out..
its grayed out for some reason
should i balnce my crit and mastery out more cause i currenly have 69% mastery and 24 % crit

are we ment to be running trickster or deathstalker now?
If you want to in st fights
you will have lower than the recommended amount of leeway, but it is still playable yes
you still use trickster in like 90% of all content in game atm
The desthstalker rotation is so cringe
I think grayed out abilities can be fixed by going to advanced cdm settings and resetting it but don't quote me on that
how bad is it to use this
i read on icy it slightly messes with haste or something
ok for trickster bad for DS
obviously having diff keybind for pot may be useful but you can replace the last L with a - if yhou ever need to disable the potion part
yeah ive got all those on other keys too, this was just for a big opener type thing
perfectly fine
if you really want to
oh wait
this doesnt have guidon in tha tmacro
im blind
nvm that macro is fine

finished 21 resil on the sub rogue we out here
im getting closer and closer to being as cool as salatikue
HUUUUUUGE
now get 22 resil
and then 23
then 24
and so on
etc etc
So excited to try guidon tomorrow
ok this is what happens when you help your guild do mythic chim with half the group being casual helpers and pugs
Sub is great…..when you out skill everyone :p
nah i got to pad lol
adds stayed alive long enough
The lack of UDK taking all your lunch money feels good man
yeah he usually mains arcane
depends on how you view the dmg breakdown
the person logging was in grp 1
i was grp 2
Yea righto
so we were in diff phases
Is that ur damage then
that's usually me on our chim reclears too, its fun lol
Hear me out we dont reclear anymore
But someone has to test it out
Soaking with the suiciding tank and padding tf outta the adds
This has to be the tech
also we might be done by the end of next week
also I've fully embraced the small orb pad on saladbar
ethical
Old news buddy
Our ret paladin snuck this one on us and now we life grip him downstairs and our tank jumps off
Rip ur parse bozo
am I doing something supremely fricked if I have a darkest night ready with a dance but no secret technique for like 10 secs
yo quick question..for Mythic Chim. Which group is better for us? going 1st or 2nd
I like first personally
blades for opener, sectech comes off cd rights as adds are gathered downstairs
which you hopefully have coup stored for
then comes up for intermish adds
every group
just go in every one bro
Cloak and go
ty
Slightly?
It messes up everything lmao.
bros it might be time to learn outlaw.... the sub warlock bug is too powerful its breaking me
everything is lol
Is it actually a thing?
yea definitely
i have a warlock on my m+ team and he cant play diabolist or the bug happens almost guaranteed every dungeon
Oh dam
what relearning tho
ur defs are the same and outlaw doesnt have cds
zugzug
idk i feel like outlaw has a bit of a different playstyle in terms of maintaining uptime n stuff
if there are two elites in a pack do i use bp or eviscerate as my spender
with potent powder talented you BP on 2 or more targets
do i use shuriken or backstab as combo builder
storm on 2 or more outside of dance
in dance strike on 3 or less
ah okay ty
when opening is the ability order Shadow Dance, Shadow Blades, Secret technic?
and do you use Coup De grace when it pops if doing aoe?
trinket>dance+blades+sectec
just send it as it pops in both ST and AOE
Awesome thanks!
Macroing it with black powder works well
Yep
doing two casts with coup first?
You just macro it so if you have it pop up when you’re doing you’re aoe combo it’ll automatically cast it instead of black powder
What is this bug lmao
Your tricks makes the warlock pets pull
Blizzard really hates rogue lmao
There is absolutely no way that bug is accidental
bro no way
nah its not tricks
it seems to be a pet pet interaction between shadow clones and diabolist apex pets
i’ve had a warlocks pull things and complain about their pets in my groups lol
maybe it was my fault xD
the lock in my guild says it happens regardless of if there's a rogue in the group or not
but who wants to play with stinky locks anyways 😉
supposedly apex talents that can proc guardians are bugged as a whole
but sub clones bug it more often
mmm i see
i'm kinda done with the jank on sectec clones
they need to redesign sectec and call it a day
Do I use shadow dance if Shadow Blades and Secret technic are both down?
think of dance and sectec as 1 cd
the only time you will not cast dance+sectec together is during 2nd dance in blades
Ok so outside of secret technic it's generator and spendor even if low on energy?
also dw about your energy in general
ok
the only time energy is something you think about is right before you go into dance+sectec
you want to have enough energy to instantly cast sectec
so it's Shadow dance+ secret technic, or Shadow Dance, Blades ,SecTec, SD Sectec?
if i'm reading this right basically yes
!blades
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.
follow this during blades
Ok awsome thanks.
@warm marlin oh is queue still dead
i've heard from multiple people the NA key scene is very slow atm
hmm
ye
well idk
im pugging above cutoff now
im not sure how busy it should be
played the game a decent amount today
nice!
in general when you're keying at or above cutoff there's not a whole lot of keys in lfg
a lot of times you'll look and there won't be enough keys to even scroll down
i got 5 of my 21s today
but uhh
massive
yeah makes sense
who coulda guessed
people try to avoid it as much as possible lol
you finally time that key
then try to reroll it
best you can do is find someone with 21 resil AA or seat
and then hope they're willing to slam their head against it for a good few hours
LOL so true
Are you playing the PP build or the Dark brew one?
dude i was doing a title range resil floodgate during S2
do you want full combo points up before casting shadow dance with other cooldowns or spend points, then shadow and its cooldowns?
I am playing the rider of the apocalypse build
and the tank crashed out in disc with "fuck resil i hate this system i'm not playing anymore"
Ooh, mb
after we had been wiping in there for 2 hours
Thought you were pushing on sub
sadly not
hate this
full CP>dance+sectec
YUP
k
honestly doing 1 season of resil was a big thing to help me decide to retire
because pushing with resil
is truly miserable
(unless you ride someone's resil all the way up at the end of a season)
If you are Casting SD without SB, Do you wait to time SD with second SecTec for the powereful combo point?
reldo hit 21 resil, maybe he can help you out getting those done
nah its ok
i will suffer the pug life
just once you hit 20 basically every key is someone posting their resil key trying to push it back up
its a whole bootstrap paradox
lol so true
i think like half the IO keys i timed around the cutoff range were resil keys people were pushing back up
i dunno resil is so weird, it artificially inflates IO
and then makes it so even the keys 1 level below cutoff range are brutal
why would you ever do your own key when you can wait a bit to get into someone's resil they're pushing up with 0 risk
Isn't that just because it allows people more attempts at the level that would be an upgrade?
TRUE
it creates a very weird ecosystem
people become very leech like
trying to ride other people's resil
Ye, for sure
and also the average key level is much higher than seasons without resil
Ye, but that happens because the safety net is just underneath what you want
i still think resil should be you have like 2-3 charges on a key
then after those charges are used up it depletes -1 level
instead of just running a key a billion times to push it back up
I think there are quite a few players in this range who are here by eventually sneaking along through someone's resil and grinding the whole way
YUP
mw in our 21 mt used life cocoon like 4 times in 30 mins
there's a lot of drama that happens around resil
I do agree that resil has helped a lot of boosting
that's fucking insane
that too
i know so many people on the S2+3 TWW list of people who bought title
1 guy i know
legit bought every single title range key
from 4k players
ironically i know the 4k tank who sold it to him too
(this is when 4k was way above cutoff)
the io files...
dude it's crazy lol
was a good read
i was shocked at some of the names i saw
i also knew multiple people on there
it made me so sad
and kinda pissed
because i'm the kind of player who barely squeaks into title every time
so seeing people steal title from others who worked hard for MONTHS
makes me angry
Just like irl
yah!
i was actually involved in resil key drama
with people i was pushing with at the time
was not fun
it eventually led to my guildie cutting all ties with a friend he had had for years
for scumbag behavior
that friend basically wanted to ride my resil and box out my guildie
i dont know how to feel
pugs were astronomically dead prior to resil
too much variance
3-5 attempts would prob be fine
cut down on abuse but keep the system in
agreed yeah
yeah you had that different problem before resil
where you had to perform in every key
and your key could get run down from a string of bad luck
Message me next time. Warrior is still subjected to pug chim
TRUE
will do 😉
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Idk, I've never pushed top keys, but from what I read, no system can fix that shit
Good morning, the problem is fixable in my opinion
Basically, the problem space is a balancing issue
question why do we want so much haste like from the trinket any big benefit over mastery
from like pbox
it mostly started out with the introduction of aug
aug allowed you to do +3 more key levels for free
this made it extremely obviouse that wow shifted away from a player skill centric tuning approach
people realized just how much easier it is to play meta in every aspect of the game as a reasult
and with the game moving in a direction which allows you to gear up a new character quickly
in combination with a typically fairly mild tuning of the OP, so they most of the time stay op or top dps for the tier
a systemw as created where meta chasing is the most efficient way to play
groups in the finder also realized just how much the right class can influence your outcome
and given the flood of players who will now reroll to the flavor of the month
people who don't either need to play with friends, guild groups or level an alt
The diffrence in group strength was so significsant, that it set a example
because, even if things are now often closer now, why not make your life easier and give yourself the highest chance of success
we talking about guidon vs. puzzle box in m+?
yea
guidon gives you more ressources, means more apex procs, enerty, etc
puzzle box gives you more immidiate mastery, however it is more in a burst
given that you want to line it up with your cooldowns, its a 3 minute trinket
and the mastery often goes into DR because you run with a high baseline mastery
meanwhile guidon is better in single target, and can give you similar benefits in big pulls
with the main drawback of a slightly lower initial burst
hope that makes sense
^ back to this, now that we established "why" its hard to find groups (which tl;dr is, its is too easy to go meta over everything else)
i think there is a very simple solution which would allow people to play m+ without meta chasing
a soloq system
that's okay. we can still delete it
haha
this is true, whatever system blizz puts into place it'll still suck
the best system anyone can think of is make resil a charge system so your key has charges, and when those charges deplete then your key lowers
ohh, i missunderstood the comment
TRUE FUCK EM
we talk about resilient?
We talk about high keys
yeah we were discussing resil earlier
And that no matter what, people will be unhappy
hot take
i think resilient is fine
i understand that it impacts higher keys in a negative way
you have opposite ends of the spectrum, 1 was no resil and you had to perform in every single key or else it would brick, and your key could brick all the way down due to bad luck
as more people with lower skill level can grind to high scores
and then resil where people are literally smashing their faces against keys for hours upon hours to push them back up
and toxicity of people just riding other's resil
but i also think thats basically how mmorpgs are designed
the challange in mmorpgs is never skill
yeah the system is really good for lower key levels
It's the unemployed versus people with too much disposable income, like in most games 
the biggest issue resil caused is it's now infinitely easier to buy title
before it was much harder to buy
more people can play and experience a higher level of content is a net win in my book
Agreed
Yeah, but you cannot solve the problem of "homework" keys without making boosting easier imo
homework keys will exist no matter what sadly
they actually could
But it's much less egregious now than it used to be
but the solution would also be not liked by key pushers
nah in some ways it's much worse now
One tilter evening and your key was cooked
mind experiment time
imagine sitting in the same key for 3+ hours
trying to push it back up
until everyone gives up
what if you had a prompt at the key stone vendor
And that was different then?
before you were pushing back up easier keys
People always run against a wall no matter what
which has no resilient at all
i see thanks guess need to try my luck further for the guidon
but else has no benefits
Until you ran into the wall again
cuz pbox also feels really clunky man
yeah true
Now you just stay at the wall
but resil hell is very real
People are doing it to themselves is what I'm saying bottom line
i've watched people try to push their key back up for days at a time
quite literally
Nobody will do it I tell you
you have a 19 priory and trying to push that shit back up
holy shit that was awful lol
People just want to bitch and moan
it solves the problem
for anyone who wants to have the seperation
while keeping resilient for the rest
people won't do it
because they don't want to wait for groups to build
i was actually smart, i did 1 push season with resil then quit after 😉
but thats on them too
i was like "nah i'm not playing this game"
you can't have both
I think people will just crash and burn eventually, no matter the system
both means, a high player pool to choose from to do keys
and at the same time only good players in that pool
any time content becomes more accessible/easier
good, let the p*shers suffer
the skill level requirement is lowered, and the player pool becomes bigger
i mean nobody would play it
but "there is no solution"
is not correct
its just the solution is not agreeable
because you would need to take trade offs
it is funny how resil worked out, everyone was like "M+ is saved"
what makes the game fun is a imperfect system
and then immediately when we started pushing with resil "wait this is even worse"
Too much work, too little work, too easy to boost, too hard to pug, meta is stale, aug is op
What do the data show
i think people play more keys
than before
or at least would say that intuitively
I think its a bit of a funny discussion
because the ones who give the most feedback are the top level players, as they gathered an audience
It’s defo hard to balance
it's kind of like the diff between normal raiders and mythic
and they will many times argue to only improve their position
Title pushers are just mad that they don't get the same treatment relative to what the rwf gets in their piece of content 
Cause just listening to those people can make stuff shit
e.g. remember that these popular podcasts
people repeatedly did say
"idk, it feels like skill issue to me"
when the system was too hard or punishing for players
and actively hurt wow
Destiny had a bit of the same issue where they started listening to the world first raiders
(as you saw with engagement in m+ and the game)
And it was shit
It defo is cause u want both groups engaged
e.g. if you look at league of legends
Riot did a lot of system analysis of matchmaking and impact of changes
yet the entirety of the top player base wanted a hard reset of the mmr
riot did say "this is a fucking terrible idea, you all will hate it"
everyone still pushed for the change
riot, knowing it only affects the top end, pushed it
and now people are crying because its a terrible idea and everyone hates it

Im for the like easing of getting mythic gear and stuff too
Just opens up stuff to people that might not have done it before
Makes 0 impact to my gameplay
i think the systems we got are overall positive
Yea
I have a few small issues with crests and raid timing
But minor
Crafting is kinda eh too idk
and the example with league just highlights that not every problem has a good solution, many solutions can backfire
this applies to both sites, any company can make a lot of bad decisions to lose players too
See Bungie for the king of that
haha ye, think there are a lot of recent examples of failed games or games
I have my complains about the xpac too, i think everyone who is a bit critical will find points you don't like
I don't like how the pacing and system design keeps you chasing gear forever
e.g. lets say now, you just finished upgrading and collecting your gear
12.0.7
you start to find yourself with another borrowed power system and gear upgrades to farm
there is in general low amount of downtime, so you essentially can grind forever now
tho on the other hand, getting gear is now easy, so if you come back to the game or want to gear an alt, thats fast
(there are some problems, like "how do i get into a group without gear/experience", but generally spoken its easier than before)
i tend to lose interest when i get fully geared. which is what some people want i guess. i just like having something to do when i want something to do.
we saw this in our raid team to an extreme
Yea
my favorite thing is everyone complained back in the day that there was too much stuff to do outside of raiding/keys to keep up with borrowed power etc in the open world
and now that that's all gone the same people say there's nothing to do in game
with a 28 player raid team
With the like upgrade orb too
so 10 players basically "noped" out
Don’t really even need to hunt trinkets
people want to be done so they can do something else. and they want to do it as quickly as possible. which is fine, but its just not for me.
I think it just shifted
there is still a lot to do
there is stuff to do yeah
but blizz doesn't really put their heart into that stuff anymore
like they did before
I think its just a lot of throwaway systems
not saying thats bad
when they do people complain that they are spendiong time and resources on "things that dont matter"
as mentioned, for me
You can’t win really
i still remember 12 months of SoO. im happy that we move things along at a faster pace generally.
I mean they care about retention so whatever keeps people around is normally what they will probably do
Housing is sick
all of these systems are there to keep people playing
i think housing is good as is
But its a good like base
i wish the levels would go up after 9
My island is just kinda like empty
and more new stuff would be added
okat thank you
Yeah I haven’t changed tbh
but only rly noticable if you have haste for it
i just did a 17 caverns and i only did 135.9 k overall dps i must be doing something wrong with my dps rotation
TRUE
bros idk if im cut out for outlaw
you could either abort or just try hitting your head a couple more times
shit either of those are pretty good options
KEEP PLAYING SUB
it's kinda tough you play with a lock though
i plan on mainly sticking to sub
part of me just wants to learn outlaw because its a fun spec
no harm in doing it
i started playing assa doesnt seem that hard really
there is no spec thats hard anymore ngl
i mean theres more to assa then sub lol
those that were more difficult got dumbed down a lot
outlaw i couldnt get my heard around it early on in the expac
Which m+ 20s do i want numbing poison please?
Did Eleem's assassination screenshot break you?
What screenshot?
Reldo was cooking some deathstalker sub for prio
And i linked deathstalker assa that has like 50k higher prio 
its tough out here
I felt like watching Marco Pierre White
tight-ropeing between madness and genius
and Eleem just cut off the rope 
its more like Eleem held a ladder for him to get off of that needless path
I'm bored of playing trickster in my weeklies, how did your peak cook look like?
i havent really had a chance to test it much lmao
Issue with assa, especially deathstalker, is the ST
And even worse if you want to demisemaxx like me
well, it lead Reldo to Outlaw, apparently 
The singletarget is insanely oof
stupid sub rogue warlock bug led me to outlaw
yeah DS sin is mega depression in ST
but he came to his senses and back here
sin is just ass this season
its p good in keys
Nah
FB sin is pretty good
Is good
oh fair then
tried it in raid
the KB apex is cool
it's against the tos basically, because it makes me say things
the energy part sucks balls
i dunno if they fixed the apex energy bug in the CDM
but the fact that you just randomly can't see stacks
is so bad
and making you try to run envenom out
feels stupid
it's 0 interaction
because during cooldowns you'd just waste the extra energy
at least that's what it feels like to me
the filling up your cp thing?
nice gimmick, not sure I need that haha
and ramps your KB faster
yeah it's not as cool as sub's apex
i think sub's apex is pretty peak
imma terrorize some weeklies with ds
he's shy
HAHA
doesn't wanna show it
i don't think there's any way with the talents to make DS sub work in keys
the gap is way too big to bridge
i haven't actually tried using DS in keys yet
eleem's DB build was pretty cool
i can see that build being good in keys where you know you'll be doing a lot of evising prio targets and ST
oh interesting
what did I just read
cursed
i'm not sure i fully understand it
When you have max stacks of apex, when its at 80
What's the bug
cancelaura envenom before your next envenom
Eleem is taking his TC advice directly from Cthulhu
Soyou get the energy
yeah that is pretty cursed
they need to rework that energy apex part for sin
it's so weird
shouldn't it be more like "if you extend envenom's duration 4-5 times you get energy"
but then it becomes kinda passive
i dunno i can see how they were trying to make sin pool
but that way is not it
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rvsTYv7ssymd4QA1aweZx2
why does DS delay opener 7s
in 3+ targets
something with our apex talents makes diabolist warlock hero talents pull random mobs that are out of combat very consistently
Ohhh that make sense
Wait so it’s not even just a rogue bug, it’s sub rogue + demo lock in same group?
That’s wild af
Ig tbf tho ideally you wouldn’t have both in the same group anyways, especially higher keys
demo or destro, as long as they're on the diabolist hero tree
That’s wild af
At least it’s not ideal comp
So it only applies w scuffed comp
unfortunately for me i play with a warlock one trick
most seasons i swap off rogue but i wanted to stick with it this season
and ofc its the season this bug happens
Word, I feel ; it’s always my go-to usually. Last xpac I played alts but I genuinely cba to lvl another char. I have 1 90 
I’d totally try ddh, fdk or ret but cba to lvl
I haven’t played assa since tww s1
they kill my kingsbane target
Nothing against it at all, I loved it ; sub is just way more my preference
So if I gotta pick 1 to die behind yk
If it didn’t mean farming new gear I’d prob play both
dont really need to farm gear anymore
Oh sick
just do the dungeon with ur best trinkets/weapon and bonus roll
u will end with all pieces in mythic and thats always a good thing
What’s sin trinks? Pbox + gaze I’m assuming?
yes
Oh cool I unironically have them alr then
Accidentally rolled myth pbox week 1 trying for PSB before we swapped back off of CC lol
Does anyone else have problems with their sprint? I got Featherfoot but it still only last 6 seconds
ngl ive always been a outlaw hater untill this season, im enjoying assa/outlaw more than any spec ever atm
really disliking sub tho because last season sub was peak for me
My biggest thing is I generally name a character based on a theme/spec/playstyle I wanna be & swapping specs contradicts that quite a bit generally
Ik I prob sound insane
But like I wouldn’t intend to play a FDK, name him “Subzero” (not literally just for the example) & then be like “yea I’m swapping to UH or Blood on Subzero” 😵💫
same 
i do the same, my dk hits like a 306 gti
Based, tww sub was goated
i spent the entire of mop remix saying to everyone "NOBODY PANIC, I'M A PROPHESIONAL"
the last one is great
😉
This is amazing
finally fucking free
AOTC???? GZ
bonus rolled this
!haste
Secret Techniques cooldown gets reduced by all haste sources, while Shadow Dances duration only gets increased by Haste Rating from gear or consumables. When using an on-use haste trinket, make sure to use it a bit before Shadow Dance to get the extended duration.
The recommended ~700 haste gives you two additional globals in Shadow Dance and Guidon will grant one extra on top of that.
sorry im busy that day
