#

my 13k is without anything today

livid ferry
#

i have a 13.4 with no bugs

tardy oracle
#

rip vel

buoyant gyro
#

Trying to sort things out is impossible though because so many Assassination players get simp'd if you just hide the logs you're basically hiding tons of the top players

mellow urchin
#

all i am saying is, just because sub is 1k ahead of assa in simc dps it doesnt mean ppl will play sub cus its like 700 dps ahead of assa atm and its still not like sub is running away with the dmg

buoyant gyro
#

It's like only 25 of the top 200 parses don't have externals

#

It's obscene

nova nexus
#

but yeah unless there’s a reason to bring sub (fight) and assa is remotely close you’re playing assa

arctic field
#

Crafting legendary as helm instead of neck gives better stats right?

buoyant gyro
#

This is why they need to fix WCL

quartz idol
#

removing externals like that is hiding logs from people that have both though

buoyant gyro
#

Logs analysis right now is impossible

mellow urchin
#

"oh ur simming 1k more dps" but heres a spec that has like 0 rng and you can control 100% of its output by just playing good

buoyant gyro
#

WCL has become useless for this kind of thing without filters for externals 😦

tepid prawn
#

wait the extension doesn't work for me

#

I can't press the backlash key without modifiers, that doesn't work on ISO keyboard layouts

#

but I don't see any way to change that hmmCoffee

livid ferry
#

either way the idea of having assa and sub at equal level just means assa will be better lol

mellow urchin
nova nexus
#

necro fury maybe dead now

mellow urchin
#

they also unironically buffed the kyrian part of it

#

so linking ur KA to a kyrian spec is prob better

#

than anything else

#

since boomies love mastery

hoary zephyr
#

3rd week

#

Of mythic

#

No revered

mossy carbon
#

bears are still likely to play kyrian I think, not sure how good mastery is for them

mellow urchin
#

i dont think the bear gets to decide

#

whats good for them

#

in terms of their simping

#

whoever gains the most

buoyant gyro
#

3% is still a lot but it's gonna at least be a much lower impact

mellow urchin
#

probably low enough for the bad players to not be top just by being simped

#

copium

nova nexus
#

did anything change with 4pc and snapshotting?

mellow urchin
#

bugfixes werent listed

buoyant gyro
#

Probably based on the ratios this makes the Mastery about the same tbh lol.. maybe slightly higher but actually much closer than it is now. Non-mastery ones were over double rating-equivalent value

nova nexus
#

didn’t know if that would be an announced change or not

mellow urchin
#

they buffed the mastery part of KA

#

from 150 to 210

buoyant gyro
#

Oh strange

mellow urchin
#

and it was already higher

#

than 3%

#

with 150

#

so idk

#

in terms of relative stat gains

#

3% is like what, 100 haste

delicate osprey
#

secret buff to sub in m+ yes

#

rising for the funnel pog

#

oh wait

buoyant gyro
#

8% crit was a bit over 300 rating iirc

mellow urchin
#

yea

delicate osprey
#

best thing was no dr

hoary zephyr
#

Also the haste snapshot will also get fixed no? @buoyant gyro

delicate osprey
#

so we could drip to 61% crit or so

hoary zephyr
#

I am not sure if it was addressed

mellow urchin
#

only scari knows that

delicate osprey
#

yea we need to wait until friday am reset after restart

#

then we game

#

cool thing is that outlaw rc+dust will become super oppresive in pvp and will get nerfed kekw

#

let us say another one bites the dust tho it is possible dust becomes something with the cdr power

mellow urchin
#

man idk ppl hate on the outlaw set, but that set should be pretty good with downtime and movement, just firing fucking guns

#

all over the place

delicate osprey
#

seems real solid ye

nova nexus
#

range rogue meme to dream

mellow urchin
#

literally play ranged rogue

nova nexus
#

to reality

mossy carbon
#

I want to play outlaw again, hopefully it's not fucked too hard on any fights

hearty veldt
#

Im not interested in trying outlaw unless they do something to make one of the pistol shot leggos better, no interest in playing celerity again

nova nexus
#

I want to play combat. copium

#

@mellow urchin the possible realization that outlaw has less variance, more burst and a ranged attack. kekw FeelsWeird

mellow urchin
#

ye

#

outlaw could unironically be good for prog reasons kekg

#

if the ranged shit is actually somewhat decent

feral schooner
#

Guys it still has rtb

mellow urchin
#

rtb is a minor nuisance these days

#

shadowstrike getting WM or not is more rng

nova nexus
#

less rng than sub at this rate

weary goblet
#

conduits make rtb better

mellow urchin
#

i would say their biggest rng lies in the sinister strike procs

#

not getting sinister strike procs on taht spec is miserable

#

everything becomes giga slow

mossy carbon
#

Thanks fuu

wind furnace
#

so ye, 25% -> 18%

feral schooner
#

You mixed 4p and 2p up fuu?

#

And ty

wind furnace
#

Tier set nerf puts it around 17-18% damage value down from 25%.
This means the tier set went down to ~75% in efficiency.
Keep in mind that the sim assumes all bugfixes while we haven't confirmed them yet.

hearty veldt
#

the previously pinned kyrian sim was still accurate up to this morning yea (13841 dps)? So its about a 530 loss?

wind furnace
#

still quite high with 13.3k

livid ferry
#

should go check out enhance shammy

wind furnace
#

sry that i didn't sim earlier but i needed to do sth for my gf

#

will update all pinned sims tomorrow

hearty veldt
#

should never apologize for that, appreciate what you do and how fast you get this stuff out anyways

livid ferry
#

any legendary resimmers

autumn jungle
wind furnace
#

XD, its not what you think

nova nexus
#

thinking fuu flexes. hahah

#

only on 30 second sims does fuu flex

buoyant gyro
#

Only a weird flex for an MMO player 🤣

livid ferry
#

so its a roughly 25% nerf to the set pieces right

nova nexus
#

his girl keeps getting him into guilds the way i’ve heard it explained. feelsloveman

wind furnace
#

this means
subtlety gets a 18% relative damage increase from 4p + best single legendary
assassination a 25% relative damage increase from 4p + best single legendary

#

unsure how high it is for outlaw

#

baseline for sub is still a lot higher tho

nova nexus
#

did anyone run the assa 4pc without the snap shotting?

buoyant gyro
#

No it would require some fundamental changes to turn that on or off

nova nexus
#

kk

wind furnace
#

also will need to double check the apl changes, but i assume they are still fine

nova nexus
#

and sub is still propped up by eon yes?

#

in the sims that is

buoyant gyro
#

Sub and Outlaw definitely gain more from it than Assassination

wind furnace
#

assassination also gets good value from sylvanas

#

but sub esp. with kyrian gets insane value

thin arrow
#

Hows the feeling for M+ are we still going to be a high value Spec or other classes becoming way more valuable ?

elder cloak
#

Was skeptical sub would be nerfed in line with sin, the baselines are just too different

wind furnace
#

did anyone test what bugs are fixed on ptr?

#

or was there no change

nova nexus
#

i’m still stuck in snow. can try to get on later

crisp lichen
#

servers still offline

wind furnace
#

ah thanks, i will look at things tomorrow. appreciate any input 🙂

dire perch
#

online now

subtle shale
#

is the 13.3k sim with akaris?

mellow urchin
#

yes

wise crescent
buoyant gyro
#

As far as I know

mellow urchin
#

new values on the trinket

#

38k on 3 min cd, i fucking hope it can crit

nova nexus
#

that’s a nerf i bet for sub

#

oh wait nm

#

shadow still there

#

thought they were both shadow

mellow urchin
#

nah

#

first was always phys

nova nexus
#

yeah

mellow urchin
#

but its uncapped dmg from what it reads like

#

so potentially sick for m+ if anything

nova nexus
#

cancel aura macro time

#

anduin depending on the timings

livid ferry
#

doesnt seem like akaari 4pc stuff is fixed

mellow urchin
#

either not fixed or not intended to be fixed

#

but that means its a bigger "nerf" than whatever fuu posted

#

and it probably means we dont play akaari

livid ferry
#

ye

dire perch
#

Second shadow strike its akaari

rare ether
#

akaari's is intended to be fixed; qa says it's in this build that went to ptr

#

so if you're not seeing it there's something up

mellow urchin
#

it doesnt happen if you just shuriken storm and spam BP on 4 targets, shadowstrikes happen but no akaari dmg

hearty veldt
#

tested it myself, definitely not fixed, and furthermore im not sure WM is working with the set bonus either atm

mellow urchin
hearty veldt
#

9 bonus procs on 89 casts of shadow strike between weaponmaster AND tier set?

mellow urchin
#

rng

hearty veldt
#

16 bonus procs on another test

nova nexus
#

rng

livid ferry
#

It did just storm -> evis

hearty veldt
#

pre nerf proc test i did other day

livid ferry
#

With akaari on

hearty veldt
#

55 bonus procs almost

livid ferry
#

No akaari strikes

#

So it is not fixed

mellow urchin
#

nah it works DK

livid ferry
#

Maybe just ptr fuckery

mellow urchin
#

idk what ur smoking

livid ferry
#

Probably ptr fuckery

mellow urchin
livid ferry
#

Ye

mellow urchin
#

the 5.3% is akaari

livid ferry
#

Thats functioning

#

Ill go see again

#

ik some dummies are whack

mellow urchin
#

yea

#

dont hit a turnip

livid ferry
#

i wasnt hitting a turnip

#

i hit silvermoon raiding training dumy

crisp lichen
#

atleast I never have to enter a casino again

#

after playing the slot machine that much

livid ferry
#

get your gamba fix in wow

pale jetty
#

ive been away, did they just rng nerf

cedar yew
#

1% on 2p and 5% on 4p

pale jetty
#

oh was it simmed

manic mesa
#

ill post the full notes on wowgeneral gloom

pale jetty
#

eh

#

not a bad nerf i guess

#

i expected a bigger nerf since they're going to be implementing a bunch of shit

mellow urchin
#

for scarizard: i am just curious, did you guys change akaari to be able to independently proc weaponmaster?

#

to solve the infinite loop?

#

for some "evidence"

autumn jungle
#

yo Push how's your spriest doing lol

mellow urchin
#

main shadowstrikes, 146 casts (19 wm procs)

#

akaari shadowstrikes 146 casts (10 wm procs)

#

i am almost certain that before this build, akaari would just simply match whatever WM you got on your main shadowstrike

#

adding another roll of WM to akaari also makes it more rng, so i guess thats great for the casino fantasy of sub rogue

mellow urchin
buoyant gyro
#

Wouldn't that completely depend on the timing intervals?

#

Given that WM has an ICD on it

cedar yew
#

Wait, whats the icd on WM?

buoyant gyro
#

0.5s

#

That’s why 4pc procs can only trigger WM on a single target

cedar yew
#

I've been wondering something. Sub is clearly simming higher than sin atm, but what if you removed the daggers? Isent daggers like.. much better for sub? Wouldnt it bring sub and sin closer together on st?

#

I assume you wont use sylv daggers in 9.2

weary goblet
#

we do

#

in oh

cedar yew
mellow urchin
#

i am not sure wth this is tbh

#

-5 hits?

#

regular shadowstrikes

#

something is really fuckywucky with this akaari change

buoyant gyro
#

Not totally sure what I’m looking at here

mint sequoia
#

I mean, the icd probably just makes it so that you can't get a wm hit on both the original strike and the akaari's one, right?

#

it'd be too soon

mellow urchin
#

2nd is shadowstrike

#

from the same combatlog

mellow urchin
buoyant gyro
#

Would really need logs to confirm what it is that you’re seeing probably. There’s lot of issues with Akaari matching up vs refresh timing or conflicting ICD intervals so it’s hard to say only from the counts alone

mellow urchin
#

ive never seen

#

akaari be below casts

#

before

#

even outside of logs

#

and this is from the log

buoyant gyro
#

I’m not sure what you mean in terms of Akaari vs casts. It’s always been possible to “lose” Akaari procs depending on specific timing cases. We discussed it a while back in this channel and Fuu and I outlined the timing that leads to it in a spreadsheet.

mellow urchin
#

nah

#

not like this

#

ive played with akaari for quite a while

#

never seen a log where its actually going below the amount of shadowstrike casts

#

in hits

#

i know what ur talking about, i understand it

#

but this is something else

buoyant gyro
#

Will look at the logs in a bit

#

And see if anything jumps out

mellow urchin
#

not sure what i am looking at either

left storm
#

You think something is bugged?

mellow urchin
#

no

#

but they introduced some new tech to akaari

#

and idk what they changed and trying to find out what it is

unkempt peak
#

With the bug getting fixed, but the set getting nerfed, I'm guessing it's a overall DPS loss, but not by as much as expected?

#

Because the bugs getting fixed should increase the set potency right?

left storm
#

I think fuu posted the dps loss in the pins

#

he posted some actual sims earlier you can scroll back through and find

unkempt peak
#

Ahhhh yeah I see them, I'm surprised to see kyrian crushing it by that much, although after playing with the set on PTR as both kyrian and venthyr it will be interesting to see who picks what. As someone who already disliked the kyrian anima charged playstyle it made me hate it even more, constantly having a harder time hitting CPs because of both the 2 and 4pc

left storm
#

I like kyrian..its a pretty chill play style.

unkempt peak
#

That overall loss is pretty rough, knew the set was OP, but still sucks to see.

left storm
#

Just play what you like man

#

Im sure people will do well with it just like before it was buffed.

unkempt peak
#

Maybe I need to approach it differently, I found I wasted so much uptime as kyrian, either waiting for a sectec proc or focusing too much on trying to hit one of the annoying AC CP. Rather than just actually playing the game

#

I don't know if that makes sense, but I felt like I just tunneled those CPs even though I had like 20 seconds left to hit it.

woeful plinth
#

excuse me is sub dead

livid ferry
#

is it a damage boost to use kyrian ability during symbols and dance

#

i guess symbols 100%

#

find weakness tho?

buoyant gyro
wind furnace
#

akaari was on ~5.3% dps, and only .3% of it is due to 4p

#

PV did give akaari a high value, so possible that it still is our strongest choice on pure st

wind furnace
wind furnace
#

kyrian pushes ahead due to PV, and this is nothing new

feral schooner
#

Is the new tech that should fix alle the bugs from the set now in this ptr build or not?

wind furnace
#

yes, all bugs should be fixed, i will test in some minutes

feral schooner
#

So this means we can make up the damage we lost through the tset nerf with the bugfixes correct? I read now akaari isn't the legendary we want in st is that correct? And ty fuu

wind furnace
#

well depends on what you mean with lost

#

if we compare it on ptr, it means that we now have interactions we previously did not have.

#

this means we potentially did not lose output

#

in terms of pure damage gain from tier set in the sim with assumption of bugfixes

#

it is a around 25% nerf to the set

feral schooner
wind furnace
#

hard to say exactly

#

but find weakness proccing from 4p should be a fairly strong interaction

#

esp. in m+

#

and m+ is the main content you can do on ptr

feral schooner
#

Ok

shell dragon
#

i think im stupid, what is PV?

feral schooner
shell dragon
#

thank

feral schooner
#

Np

#

You want to finish this at 5-6 stacks between dances. It's fine to go into a dance when you bs with 3 combo points. This conduit imo is one of the main things to play around as kyrian next to the Anima charge combo points.

neat dagger
#

Hey guys , dev said the set is fixxed yesterday ist this confirmed now?

mellow urchin
#

Yes

#

Would be nice having like 2 set 1 legendary, 4 set 1 legendary sims

#

Now that the set is fixed and nerfed

wind furnace
#

4p 1 legendary

#

as i did sim that earlier already

mellow urchin
#

Its not behaving exactly like sim ingame

wind furnace
#

scarizard did mention a new tech

#

so i assume we need to find out how it works

mellow urchin
#

It seems to have its own WM instead of procing on regular WMs

wind furnace
#

shb does extend now, so that bug is fixed

#

was one i expected to be just "how it works"

mellow urchin
#

Might just be premed one

#

Havent touched that talent on ptr but i dont understand how it is meant to give snd

#

You have to proc a 4p exactly same time as you press dance

#

Or on aoe ofc

wind furnace
#

alright, so i can confirm:

  • shb extends buffs of shb
  • symbols is not consumed by 4p proc
  • set does apply fw
#

premed seems to be not consumed from strike of the 4p

#

what is iirc like its intended

#

had a 4p proc when doing storm-evi on the 5 target dummy and it seemed to not consume the premed buff

#

happened a 2nd time, i am confident it does not interact

coarse quiver
#

this all seems like stuff that was already in

#

what was actually aded in this build?

wind furnace
#

so the 2 things that need testing are:

  • akaari behaviour
  • if ER interacts correctly with the 4p
#

@mellow urchin did you test ER already?

mellow urchin
mellow urchin
#

You forgot to add that 4p is now giving 2p

#

Which is probably the biggest dps bugfix

wind furnace
#

yes 2p from 4p works too

#

did update the pin for it.
put "needs further testing" section for akaari/er

mellow urchin
#

I think the 4p procs can give 5 seconds of blades for each target it hits

#

So if you are lucky, you can get 20 seconds of blades in a 4 target situation

#

From 1 proc

#

But thats very rng

wind furnace
#

it can proc multiple times

#

i just got 10 secs of shb from a proc on the 5 dummy in the order hall

feral schooner
#

Nice

mellow urchin
#

But its 15% chance individually on each target

south osprey
#

Are these two seteffects the ones with the most interactions of any seteffect from any expac ever?

feral schooner
stark sierra
#

Right after the pin for the nerfs

feral schooner
#

ok ty

woeful plinth
#

I'm too impatient to wait for updated raidbots. Will we use backstab inside dance or only outside?

visual olive
#

pretty sure we still stab in dance with pv rn

#

5+ stacks with 3 or more secs of dance

#

otherwise we just waste pv stacks

midnight goblet
#

hey everyone just try new ptr build*

#

i didn't see any 2P proc at all in a 8min+ ST dummy fight

#

so am i unlucky like hell or did someone tell already that and i didn't see it while reading all your comments ?

mossy carbon
#

Need to hit dummies in Orgrimmar or class hall (some other places too). The turnips in Oribos won't work if you were using those

midnight goblet
#

i was using Zandalar dummy, far away from other dummy avoiding extra SS with 4P

mossy carbon
#

Zandalar doesn't work also I believe

#

It definitely works in Orgrimmar when I checked this morning

midnight goblet
#

Ok i go try orgri

#

38 4P on 8min is very sad

#

on a 5min fight i got like almost dble this amount

#

Annd this was pretty cosistent, i did like 5-10 5min fight so see, so maybe rng but this seems way lower than 15% proc

nova nexus
#

rng is going to rng

wind furnace
nova nexus
#

set looks like it can high roll or no roll depending on luck.

midnight goblet
#

i mean this is painful

wind furnace
#

was having lunch, i will do some 1 legendary sims with 2p/4p in a minute.
need to check the 4p -> 2p proc again as i am unsure if it always refreshes fully

nova nexus
mossy carbon
nova nexus
#

if rng isn’t you’re thing, right now I’d suggest investigating the other two specs

wind furnace
#

expected, we discussed this in here already quite often

#

lowering any proc change means you have higher swings

nova nexus
#

idk if the high will feel high enough to offset lows (rerolling buffs comes to mind, but those I don’t think we’re as much variance. could be wrong on that)

wind furnace
#

its somewhat funny

#

to look at the shb uptime in aoe

nova nexus
#

over 80 now?

wind furnace
#

e.g. i did hit the dummy for a minute now

#

and got some 4p procs, given that i hit the 5 target dummy it means 5 times the chance to get a shb proc

#

yet i didn't get 1 shb proc from 2p

midnight goblet
#

so i did try again at Orgri and 2P works

wind furnace
#

i just hit the dummy for 5 minutes with storm->evi

#

so a finisher every 2nd gcd, if you proc 4p 2 finisher in a row

#

i got 21 procs during it

#

so ~160-170 finisher -> 21 procs

#

i had 2 times a phase of ~40 secs to 1 minute with 0 procs

#

also had 4 procs back to back

#

expected value would be 28 procs, so i was unlucky

#

for the 2p, it seems to be somewhat reliable to expect a proc every 2nd dance instead of every dance

#

worse case for me was 3 dances, but it was also somewhat biased because a 4p proc would hit 3 targets
(what means higher chance to proc 2p)

steel meadow
#

there is no good single target dummy right

wind furnace
#

there is, but i didn't fly to og

nova nexus
#

portal?

wind furnace
#

ye, i was just testing the frequency of proc, not a in detail analysis so i guess the dummy was fine

steel meadow
#

og dummies works as intended?

wind furnace
#

yes

#

og dummy or dummies in your order hall are the ones you want to use.
Others can be and probably are buggy

steel meadow
#

ok ty
why the fuck turnip is bugged even notlikethis

wind furnace
#

i will need to re-evaluate the apl conditions for it and potentially think of some improvements,
having a rough idea of what to expect proc wise is helpful usually

#

but lets first look into doing some 2p/4p 1 legendary simulations

nova nexus
#

oh no doubt. i was just confused by the flying comment.

wind furnace
#

na, was just me being to lazy to take portal and fly to the dummy in og

mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

i like the one on top of the wall

mellow urchin
#

you wont be cleaving on nearby dummies and it doesnt lose hp

wind furnace
#

2p/4p + 1 legendary with only the best 2 legendary powers fine?

#

or should i include finality too

mellow urchin
#

include all of them or?

nova nexus
#

i’d like to see all of them to be honest.

mellow urchin
#

there might be shifts in power after the nerfs, who knows

nova nexus
#

no assumptions with data

wind furnace
#

can do that too, but i don't assume that any of them beat the covenant specific one or akaari

#

but alright, lets see if i am wrong with that thesis

nova nexus
#

maybe something shifts and we further investigate.

#

what else are we going to do?

#

hehe

mellow urchin
#

akaari functionality isnt updated

wind furnace
#

akaari probably works diffrent in reality so hard to say

#

but i think i stated this earlier in the discussion, a big part of akaaris strengh is in PV, and pv interaction hasn't changed to my knowlage

#

deathspike is spicy:

midnight goblet
#

in PV ?

nova nexus
#

perforated veins conduit

midnight goblet
#

Thanks

wind furnace
#

akaaris does proc the conduit in 9.2, this makes both the conduit and the legendary a powerful combination

nova nexus
#

@wind furnace i’d actually be curious to see the dps variance individually between akaari and finally

midnight goblet
#

i can of sleep on the dummy so there is a 9min fight (no relevant) but i didn't get much more 4P proc with ER. Don't know if i'm unlucky or jsut a garbage

wind furnace
wind furnace
midnight goblet
#

Ad i tried on dummy in hunter part so no sylv proc (mine are 246 anyway)

wind furnace
#

letme quick do venthyr/kyrian

nova nexus
#

whatever the top two end up being

wind furnace
#

akaari does seem to be quite a bit ahead of TO now

#

even without 4p

#

was iirc before only with 4p

mellow urchin
#

you cant look at that and know how many procs you got

#

what ur seeing as hits is WM

midnight goblet
#

yes i know :
Or am i reading it wrong ?

#

oh okay

#

i'm just seeing WM proc here

#

Thanks

mellow urchin
#

the 208 is both main strikes and 4p strikes

midnight goblet
#

Okay

#

Well i'm gonna count how many time i hit SS haha

#

But still 7k8 haha

mellow urchin
#

is quite low

steel meadow
#

4p procs counts as 'casts' now?

mellow urchin
#

yes

steel meadow
#

weird

mellow urchin
#

its hard to tell

#

which is a proc and not

#

even in logs

#

you have to go into events and see shadowstrikes that happened after a finisher

wind furnace
#

so, does seem like its as expected between the covenant legendary and akaaris for all of them

mellow urchin
#

i think we can say that akaari > any other legendary

lunar fractal
#

At least it won't just be a passive buff from finality

quartz idol
#

are the akaari changes intentional or just a side effect of something

nova nexus
#

fuu then the variance for venthy and kyrian with akaari

mellow urchin
#

well its a side effect of making PV stack with procs

quartz idol
#

no, I meant the less casts/procs or whatever it was

mellow urchin
#

and i guess that since akaari can now WM on its own, its also giving double procs sometimes

mellow urchin
#

i mean its the fix they had

#

for making akaari work on the 4p

quartz idol
#

what is it exactly

mellow urchin
#

we dont know

#

might be an akaari ICD

#

they definitely changed so it can WM

#

previously akaari would just proc after a WM shadowstrike

#

now it doesnt, but instead it can WM itself

#

which means more rng

#

i guess

lunar fractal
#

What's the variance after the nerf compared to before?

quartz idol
#

hm, doesn't taht make it the same then

mellow urchin
#

well maybe in sim

#

but in how you play it

#

before if you got a WM shadowstrike

#

you just got another akaari proc

#

now akaari has to also proc WM to give that benefit

#

so it has to roll 15% twice

#

instead of just once

#

if that makes sense

quartz idol
#

maybe I am not understanding it correctly, as I understand it its exactly the same

#

so before you get shadowstrike->WM->akkari proc

#

now its shadowstrike->akkari->WM akaari

#

since shadowstrike=akkari casts

#

its just gonna be delayed right?

mellow urchin
#

well no

#

the difference is strike -> WM - Akaari was the old one ye, every time

#

you'd always get akaari on that WM strike

#

Now if strike WMs, you dont get the extra akaari proc

#

instead akaari has its own 15% chance to proc wm

#

I dont see how its the same

#

since if the first strike WMd you already got that benefit, you didnt have to get another WM on the akaari

#

basically, before this change, akaari hits would always match the shadowstrike hits and it doesnt anymore

quartz idol
#

so before you get strike-akkari, and if that one procs you get strike-wm-akaari-akaari

#

is that correct?

mellow urchin
#

thats how it used to be

#

strike-wm-akaari (no guaranteed wm)

#

idk man its weird

quartz idol
#

and now its strike-akaari-(possibly wm akaari) and strike-wm-akaari-(possible wm akaari)

mellow urchin
#

wm doesnt do anything to akaari anymore

#

thats all there is to it

#

cus akaari wms itself

#

and idk if it always did

#

but somethings changed at least

#

i do remember that akaari used to WM during beta

#

but it was basically just another shadowstrike back then

quartz idol
#

ok so its just more rng now at the end it 'should' be the same casts on average

mellow urchin
#

in a sim it should ye

#

i also think some hits are being devoured

#

like koji has talked about

#

if you get too many procs from the 4p and regular strikes

#

you lose akaari hits

#

cus there seems to be some icd on the hit

#

that i dont understand

#

one example is from a dummy session last night

#

i had more akaari casts than hits

#

which is weird as shit

wind furnace
quartz idol
#

yea, I guess it counts the cast whenever it happens and then if its off the icd then it counts a hit as well

wind furnace
mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

tbh because we can

#

lets just replace sylvanas dagegrs and see how close they are with 1 lego 4p

quartz idol
wind furnace
#

hard to say, akaaris did work without this interactions for one xpac and 2/3 of shadowlands

mellow urchin
#

either way could be a bug

wind furnace
#

its up to everyone to decide if a change in behavior should be ladled as bug or not

mellow urchin
#

could have been a bug that it didnt work like this

wind furnace
#

i am happy with it working as it adds some gamplay elements with pv stacks

mellow urchin
#

yea i dont see a point

#

in calling it a bug

#

when its perfectly reasonable that PV works on WM

#

and other procs

wind furnace
#

i also would refer to intended/expected or unintended instead of bug

quartz idol
wind furnace
#

a bug can be kept as intended behavior if its liked.

mellow urchin
#

all they really did was add "can proc from procs" to PV and voila, it works on akaari cus its technically a shadowstrike

#

it was a side effect of fixing PV interaction with the 4p and it also fixed PV interaction with WM procs

nova nexus
wind furnace
#

i can see arguments for both intentional or unintentional

#

i think its a blurred line, you can't reliably say one or the other

mellow urchin
#

in the end, we take our new PV interaction and dont make a fuss about it, easy as that

quartz idol
nova nexus
#

it is what it is

wind furnace
#

i think shari did also mention this yesterday, that some interactions might not be consistent but make sense

mellow urchin
#

the notes would be super long if they had to put down every single change in it, we probably dont see half of it

nova nexus
#

could be fdk that had killing machine bugged for seemingly ever with DW

quartz idol
#

cuz one part seems intentional and one doesn't, like akaari proccing wm looks intentional, but wm not proccing it seems like a bug

mellow urchin
#

its to avoid the infinite loop

#

that they talked about

#

and akaari is already devouring its own procs, so i doubt it would make a big difference if it did work on WM

quartz idol
#

well, they can fix that infinite loop in different ways, its not necessary to have infinite loop that way

#

its possible to distinguish between akaari wm and shadowstrike wm

nova nexus
#

and that’s for them to decide on which route they went

midnight goblet
#

does anyone have a WA to track PV ?

quartz idol
#

they can do whatever yea, its just a confirmation would help

nova nexus
#

best you can do is report it

#

as a bug

mellow urchin
midnight goblet
#

having to play with Pv and backstab during dance will be so weird

mellow urchin
#

if the PV gameplay stays i am sure there will be better ones out there

wind furnace
#

oh, i didn't specify the itemlevel of the dagger so it went to 233, so a bit lower baseline

#

kyrian with 2x 252 daggers: 11.4k dps
kyrian with 2x sylvanas: 12,5k dps
diffrence between the two 1,1k dps

shut valve
#

Sadge

#

I was hoping venthyr would be closer

wind furnace
#

1% diffrence isn't that big

shut valve
#

1.6 and 1.4

wind furnace
#

it is still in a area that seems fine

shut valve
#

And i believe kyrian gains more from 2nd leggo

mellow urchin
#

ill eat a sock if we play 252 daggers on 9.2 release, even if daggers are nerfed

wind furnace
#

point wanted to just have a about equal stat dager

shut valve
#

I think the sim is targeting ppl who don't have mythic sylv dagger

mellow urchin
#

and i guess they dont have normal or heroic either then

wind furnace
#

i need to double check apl improvements too, to see if they still hold

#

*true

#

but looking at sim numbers i am fairly confident that they do

wind furnace
mellow urchin
#

scath you should actually just play assa

#

sub seemingly dogwater trash without daggers

nova nexus
#

i am on slyv

wind furnace
#

252 is the itemlevel from normal of the new raid, so it more or less just compares to that

nova nexus
#

sub the borrowed power rng spec lol

#

assa the 51% aura spec

wind furnace
#

i mean assassination also benefits from daggers

nova nexus
#

not nearly as much

mellow urchin
#

assa probably swapping out a dagger in heroic week of new raid

#

they will ramp harder with new gear cus of these daggers

wind furnace
#

just for science

nova nexus
#

i should run heroic again this week. i really don’t want to

wind furnace
#

seems to be on par with subtlety without daggers

#

in terms of output

nova nexus
#

what ilvl daggers

wind furnace
#

same as used in the above sim

#

252

nova nexus
#

i see

idk u guys still talking sin vs sub

the true overlord is here since yday

we talked gunslinger yesterday.

let sv have the melee

wind furnace
#

unsure about outlaw tbh

coarse kettle
nova nexus
#

or everyone just defaults back to assa for uptime memes

wind furnace
#

@mellow urchin heroic is suefficient to replace it, but i assume offhand might take till mythic

mellow urchin
#

dagger is gonna get nerfed anyway, too many bozos asking for it

nova nexus
#

and you still need a dagger for outlaw.

#

don’t nerf it just up the drop rate or let me buy it already. lol

you were crying about dagger nerfs just 1-2 weeks ago

"me want 285 dagger, me dont have eon 259 dagger after 9 months of raid, but me will definitely have 285 dagger, for sure this time"

compromise

brain juice at an all time low

Meanwhile hunters throw the bow in the bin

Lorewise

fuck hunters

wind furnace
#

i don't rly ask for a nerf, just objectively state how powerful the item is when people ask if it will get nerfed

mellow urchin
#

i know you dont fuu, but there are plenty of ppl that want the daggers nerfed

clear zephyr
#

Extended patches lower brain cells

mellow urchin
#

cus they REALLY rEALLY want to use 278 dagger cus ITS COOL and has a nice ilvl number and name and ye just cool man

nova nexus
#

I would like to request a redistribution of power from EoN to the rogue itself.

mellow urchin
#

anything else you want while ur in dreamland

wind furnace
#

btw. i did sim it shortly

feral schooner
nova nexus
#

a burrito. i’m fucking starving.

wind furnace
#

you won't replace a mythic eon till mythic in offhand even on assassination

mellow urchin
#

same

#

offhand doesnt matter

feral schooner
wind furnace
#

ye, its a issue of the power level of the slot tbh

mellow urchin
feral schooner
#

Man joking still should be nerfed

#

And buff t set so all our loot is then in 9.2

mellow urchin
#

just play another class

#

cus you will play another class if the daggers gets nerfed hard

#

cus the spec will suck ass

wind furnace
feral schooner
mellow urchin
#

you can do that anyway

#

even without a dagger nerf

wind furnace
#

i am unsure how high other classes sim atm

mellow urchin
#

also just stop replying, i am not getting into this conversation again

wind furnace
#

us beeing at 13k seems quite good (with double legendary)

mellow urchin
#

yea its good if you can sustain perfectly average rng on both ur set pieces

wind furnace
#

somewhat funny tbh

crisp lichen
#

it really

#

is not

#

funny

wind furnace
#

kyrian 9.1.5 -> 12.7k
kyrian 9.2 -> 13.3k

#

so the damage gain from 2 legendary + 4p is not significant higher than form domination

#

its still 600 dps

mellow urchin
#

nah

crisp lichen
#

crazy borrowed power we got there

#

can I just stay in sanctum instead

wind furnace
#

2nd legendary + tier set would be only at around 13k if the akaari interaction wasn't introduced

nova nexus
#

3L in 9.2.5

steel meadow
#

u can put legendary in every slot now ez

#

shame they didnt let it in the end of legion

nova nexus
#

the stronger you end an expansion, the worse it feels in the new one

pliant minnow
#

hitting 118 or w/e it was in BFA was ROUGH

wind furnace
nova nexus
#

I agree

#

numbers are just there, but I know some get tilted seeing overall dps lower

wind furnace
#

one thing with 9.2 that def. will make a lot of people angry is the simple fact that damage numbers will go down

mellow urchin
#

we gained 600 dps but also gained casino royale

#

we are now casino owners

nova nexus
#

more like the old women playing the slot machine

#

house always wins, we aint winning

wind furnace
#

and its not a big deal, but i can see a potential conflict if players suddenly see a 20% worse output

wind furnace
mellow urchin
#

wdym

nova nexus
#

think we'd need a mob hit at this point to impact that decision

wind furnace
#

blizz is a lot more communicative

mellow urchin
#

we certainly can not

wind furnace
#

so maybe they look at suggestions for 10.0

mellow urchin
#

we have told our set dev multiple times that the RNG isnt what sub is about

wind furnace
#

"what would players of X spec/class like to see change"

mellow urchin
#

but we are clearly not the target demographic for these sets

#

there are some hidden sub casuals that really love rng

nova nexus
#

the jpc stream followers

mellow urchin
#

the outlaw gamers

wind furnace
#

i think there was just a conflict in interest and thats unavoidable

#

because the initial bluepost stated that they like the tier set

mellow urchin
#

they thought they could escape the rng when they went to play sub in m+, little did they know

wind furnace
#

so there was a inherent bias from how the bonus was seen, and discord is only a small minority

mellow urchin
#

i mean i think the set is probably more fun for aoe than it is for st

wind furnace
#

e.g. if you watched the 9.2 video with limit max

mellow urchin
#

and since sub has been the minigame spec since 9.1

#

maybe we will continue to be the minigame spec

wind furnace
#

he did put the tier set into the category labeling it:
"fun and exciting gameplay wise"
"powerful in impact"

mellow urchin
#

well i think JPC only thinks about sub from a m+ perspective

#

not st

#

or raid

nova nexus
#

outlaw in ST, sub in M+ OMEGAKEKW

#

i think jpc just likes his zoomer random proc to play around stuff no matter where it is

wind furnace
#

i am just saying, there is already a conflict within the community as the tier list in terms of design did put subtlety at the very top

mellow urchin
#

from 1 guy

#

fuu

wind furnace
#

yes

mellow urchin
#

its not the community

livid ferry
#

The gameplay is not good

mellow urchin
#

a guy who doesnt even play sub regularly

#

he only plays it for m+ and yes its not terrible for m+

wind furnace
#

but there is a bigger reach from the limit video than from discord

mellow urchin
#

well ofc

wind furnace
#

so if the consent in here is that the tier set is not well designed, it just is another one of the demographic

nova nexus
#

our community in an online presence in pve is 1 guy, maybe 2 and they are both more m+ focused. one is also off the rails with feels

livid ferry
#

Current set is actually just so unenjoyable to play it hurts

mellow urchin
#

but the guy literally designing the set is in this discord and has seen the complaints about rng

wind furnace
#

but only contributes a small part to every imput blizz gets

crisp lichen
#

who actually likes this set

mellow urchin
#

jpc

crisp lichen
#

gambling addicts do not count

livid ferry
#

Probably m+ rats

nova nexus
#

IT"S FUN & POWERFUL

crisp lichen
#

jpc also likes outlaw so there u go

mellow urchin
#

yea

nova nexus
#

so turn sub into outlaw. kekw

livid ferry
#

Idk its legitimately just not fun, even when you high roll its just not fun

mellow urchin
#

the set has this corrupting feeling to it

livid ferry
#

Nothing satisfying

#

At all

mellow urchin
#

the more i play it, the less i like it, kinda deal

nova nexus
#

can't wait for another rework of sub in 10.0

livid ferry
#

No its assa’s turn in 10.0

wind furnace
#

i know people have a blanket idea of 'all rng bad' (i worked on league, lol) but there are kits even in WoW where it's very useful as both a balancing lever and a skill testing tool
there is also this statement

mellow urchin
#

yea i know

#

and no not all rng is bad

#

but having an entire tier set be just rng

#

is bad

wind furnace
#

tbh i expected more outrage about the tier set changes

nova nexus
#

no one cares about rogues lol

wind furnace
#

because it is now more noticable rng dependent

mellow urchin
#

i mean yea why not

#

just go full slot machine

nova nexus
#

majority of influencers have moved on

mellow urchin
#

at this point being a bit more rng doesnt matter

livid ferry
#

Rng is good in some kits. In the case of sub its dog shit

#

There is no skill in it

wind furnace
#

i did some testing earlier on dummy, and i know dummy does not rly matter a lot

#

but esp. the 2p seemed a lot less reliable

nova nexus
#

skill is how quickly you can react to 5 different things happening.

#

down some redbulls and go

wind furnace
#

a change from "happens about once per dance"
to "happens about once evry 2nd dance"

mellow urchin
#

i mean the spec is locked to 1 sec gcd

wind furnace
#

is a noticable one

mellow urchin
#

there is only so much reaction you can do

livid ferry
#

Skill is how many times you can proc a 15% chance Pepelaugh

wind furnace
#

and 4p... i am unsure

livid ferry
#

But yea i mean

wind furnace
#

i did 5 minute testing with strorm-evi spam on dummy

livid ferry
#

Prediction was right

#

Theres times i literally question if my set is even equipped

wind furnace
#

and i had 2 times a long phase of 40 secs to a minute that had no procs

#

just to emphasize this, this is a finisher every 2nd gcd

livid ferry
#

Ye

#

Same

#

I was legit checking if set was equipped

round orbit
#

could it be that theres some tech that lowers the chance to proc 4p if you use aoe finisher, etc

nova nexus
#

boss goes immune and rng hi rolls

wind furnace
#

so a lot more chances to proc the set bonus that in pure st

#

if you can have 1 minute with no proc in mass aoe

#

it means you can have esp. in raids a very low amount of procs overall

nova nexus
#

damnit I didnt want to chose depression today

livid ferry
#

Yes, you will

#

really don't like how kyrian feels compared to venth

#

ewie

wind furnace
#

short fights like in farm will depend a lot on your procs in terms of parsing

livid ferry
#

They both suck

#

This set is just terrible

#

Nothing will feel good

wind furnace
#

i think it won't be as problematic early on

#

because you #1 don't have the 4p straight up

livid ferry
#

i tested on dummy for a while and got lots of SB procs but the resets were scarce

wind furnace
#

and #2 fight leghs are long enough to make it aggregate better

nova nexus
livid ferry
#

procs a lot on aoe.. not st tho

#

Can i just keep chaos bane in 9.2

#

Plz

wind furnace
#

tbh, the 2p did not proc on 4p a lot

livid ferry
#

At least I can play around that

wind furnace
#

but thats also because the 2p proc chance is 15%

clear zephyr
#

Did we figure out push’s questions about akaari casts with tier set?

wind furnace
#

needs more testing

nova nexus
#

@livid ferry just go DH it'll be ok

livid ferry
#

Nah ill just go another video game or something

#

Funniest thing is that even with how awful this set is we still are probably on the radar for more nerfs cause high sim number 💀

nova nexus
#

it's still an outlier in value

wind furnace
#

alright, time to double check tier set conditions

nova nexus
#

@mellow urchin when should I try to dump my Korthite Crystals. I require your financial expertise as top guild

mellow urchin
#

i have no clue

livid ferry
#

Heres a good tier set condition

#

Tier.equipped=delete.character

#

as someone whos never played sub before it doesn't feel terrible

#

but prolly cause the base spec is just fun

#

Well if you are transitioning out of assa then chewing styrofoam will seem fun

#

i come from feral into assa into sub

#

xd

#

Yea

#

Makes sense

nova nexus
#

its new and shiny and has buttons

wind furnace
#

👍 no change

nova nexus
#

what did you do?

wind furnace
#

look at our 3 target cleave

livid ferry
#

Who cares

wind furnace
#

it seems the condition still holds

#

what is great

#

lets see for other tier conditions

#

alright, everything seems to still hold true peeposhrug

livid ferry
wind furnace
#

gain from more agressive shadow dancing on kyrian is lower now, but still a slight gain

#

unsure if ppl will adopt that gameplay change

barren forge
#

So the 4 set makes are low target cleave not magikarp lvl?

livid ferry
#

Oh no

#

Its still literal trash

wind furnace
#

3 target cleave is quite a bit better due to the tier set

livid ferry
#

You can polish a piece of a shit

#

Its still a piece of shit

nova nexus
#

we lost our souls for 3T cleave got it

livid ferry
#

Aka sub cleave

proper cliff
livid ferry
#

Pog

#

Just for reference

#

Frost dk oblit is like 19k in two target lmao

#

So uh ye

#

Eat at a Mexican restaurant instead of Taco Bell?

livid ferry
#

Our 3t is fucking garbage

proper cliff
#

but you can rupture all 3 COPIUM

livid ferry
#

Rather rupture myself with this tier

barren forge
#

Kinda Glass half empty arentcha

nova nexus
#

@proper cliff we'd like to file a lawsuit against blizzard for this unwanted and unwarranted abuse towards subtlety rogue players that have been playing the spec for longer than 1 tier.

proper cliff
barren forge
#

🤣

livid ferry
#

How can i be glass half full when the tier set is just not good

wind furnace
#

3 target cleave does not look terrible

proper cliff
nova nexus
#

we can get Rudy when we can afford him

livid ferry
#

I was optimistic maybe a month and half ago

proper cliff
livid ferry
#

Maybe 4 pc gets reworked maybeee

wind furnace
#

but thats because we can stick with using strike on 3 targets and the shb uptime and fw procs on secondary targets will make it overall more competitive

livid ferry
nova nexus
#

Glass is only half full when the water randomly appears, or the glass randomly appears

proper cliff
#

you know what would be a cool feature in 9.2?

#

if premeditation wasn't a piece of shit talent that worked half the time

nova nexus
#

DFA?

barren forge
#

As long as we aren’t dog in other aspects I’m happy.

livid ferry
wind furnace
#

premed is only buggy in outdoor content iirc

nova nexus
proper cliff
barren forge
#

Make sec tech apply a shadow dot?

proper cliff
#

like sometimes it just won't proc

#

for no reason

wind furnace
#

weird

proper cliff
#

it'll proc on my like 4th shadowstrike in a dance

#

like great talent

wind furnace
#

i mean, it would be somewhat questionable if people use it in high end m+

#

if it was buggy

proper cliff
#

afaik most people switched to WM in high m+

livid ferry
#

Except much shorter duration

#

So its a burst dot

#

And make shadow dance uptime lower lol

wind furnace
barren forge
#

Wouldn’t the easier thing be replace rupture with the bfa spell nightbane or whatever it was and make black powder spread it?

livid ferry
#

Idk sounds like it would just result in the same brain damaged aoe gameplay that exists now

barren forge
#

You would only need to spread it once. Then funnel party

livid ferry
#

Idk i’d like if shadow dance drastically altered what you do, not just insert shadowstrike in where backstab is

barren forge
#

Fantasy wise, shadow strike should be shadow dmg

livid ferry
#

Ye

wind furnace
#

the design of black powder is why high target aoe becomes somewhat boring

livid ferry
#

Ye spells trash

wind furnace
#

you basically would need to remove BP and introduce a diffrent spell to get rid of it

livid ferry
#

Yes

barren forge
#

DFA!

wind furnace
#

i also don't think it is all bad, i think the freedom of movement during aoe spam is a nice thing

livid ferry
#

Sub doesn’t need an aoe spam button its just bad gameplay

wind furnace
#

the change i still can't rly say was nice is still the shadow dance duration/stack change

livid ferry
#

Its bad

#

Literally cut 2 talents out of existence

wind furnace
#

it makes the spec more punishing and eliminates the balance between es/dark

livid ferry
#

Also made MoS a lot less impactful

wind furnace
#

it solves one single issue

livid ferry
#

Bad change

wind furnace
#

and this is to not press shadow dane 2 times during dance

#

(well you still do that tho)

#

Tbh, i think i am too critical with changes like this, it just seemed to me like a not logical change and this opinion hasn't changed since beta

#

its fair to consider other opinions, and people who come to the spec do not mind it or like the long dance

livid ferry
#

You arent critical enough KEKW

#

Change is shit

wind furnace
#

opposite

#

i think change is rly important, to iterate over specs

nova nexus
#

they figured the spec isn’t played better change it. the spec wasn’t played because it was under-tuned and needed some minor talent adjustments.

proper cliff
wind furnace
#

what i critique is change that move away from a functional iteration that is precived well

nova nexus
#

instead we got the shit we have now

wind furnace
#

and people can say i think to much about the past, but signature abilities like dfa did bring people joy and the short cooldown cycle gameplay seemed nice

nova nexus
#

as well as some guide writers liking the extended dance approach … while also playing NF

#

how or what gets communicated who knows.

#

first time we’ve seen a dev talk to us

#

in how long?

livid ferry
#

Funnel into totm target, big aoe explosion

#

Woooo im having so much fun

nova nexus
#

mystler enjoyed the long dance. wasn’t critical of it. no idea how much info actually goes back to devs off those publishings

wind furnace
#

tbh i think giving Secret a FW interaction would already fix it somewhat

#

i mean its opinion, as i stated above

#

i dislike it for certain reasons, i am not hesitant to state when asked

livid ferry
#

P sure mystler said he prefers DS gameplay

#

In the original wowhead post for 9.0

mossy carbon
wind furnace
#

only think i remember was that mystler was less critical about the dance change than me

#

but that does not mean he likes/dislikes it

livid ferry
#

But it doesn’t matter how much rogue complains

nova nexus
#

would like to see it more competitive was typically it. he also rand the double ring setup in legion

livid ferry
#

We have no dev

#

Or the dev is dumb

wind furnace
#

i think dark/es is hard to balance tho

livid ferry
#

It is

#

Talents are shit is why

wind furnace
#

so even without the change, its possible that we would see a one or enother split

livid ferry
#

You would

wind furnace
#

my initial thought for 9.2 would be akaaris + pv would heavily favour ES over Dark

nova nexus
#

people only gave a shit about sub when lol broken as fuck with akaari

wind furnace
#

thats not true

#

the perception that subtlety was overpowered did stay on release for a while

nova nexus
#

this place was overrun when that was a thing

wind furnace
#

you saw most players play subtlety for the first weeks

#

and then shift to outlaw, as it did sim higher due to us fixing the cto interactions

and oh look spec is shit without it as others get buffed.

But ye scath mystler could have typed a manifesto and it wouldn’t have mattered

#

and once assassination was buffed to beat both sub/outlaw, people went assassination

Im new to sub and relatively new to rogue in general. Is there an index for acronyms? Or can someone just lmk what PV is

wind furnace
#

it is well documented on wcl, if you did follow the amount of parses

livid ferry
#

We bitch about the tier set in here daily and the person who made them reads it and still sticks to his guns

#

Nothing we can do

nova nexus
#

we have no one publicly vocal about the shit gameplay

Appreciate it, tyvm

I mean he knows about the feedback from this discord, it is a tiny portion of the overall playerbase, the average player who doesn't know anything about the patch until it launches will see that tier gear and think "oh cool that looks fun", probably more than "symbols increases your damage by a further 5%" or whatever

#

Don't think the sky is falling that hard

for bfa to line out some important SL ones:
DD = deeper dagger (conduit)
PV = perforated vains (conduit)
SS = stiletto (conduit)
MA = Master assassin
RC = kyrian legendary
TO = night fae legendary

A world content do-er won’t care what tier set you give him

I mean, I’m not super excited about the tier set, but there were definitely a lot of other ones that needed major reworking to even be playable. Ours is boring but not that bad compared to some others

livid ferry
#

Sugar coating awful gameplay with “well other people may like it” is crazy to me lmao

mossy carbon
#

I don't think other people will like it

nova nexus

maybe game design for classes / specs in 2022 is just make it OP and it’s great

Unless you are a dopamine fiend that gets off on pressing evis 6x in a row idk

But whining that the devs don't listen and don't do anything and sub is the new outlaw is kind of pointless - not every tier set is going to be a hit with every part of the playerbase

livid ferry
#

What

mossy carbon
#

It's probably much better for m+ players for example

barren forge
#

Lol the sounds coming from the WA when the 4 set procs are gonna be hilarious

livid ferry
#

Bro the 4 pc could be changed to a deterministic effect and it would instantly be like 10x better

mossy carbon
#

Yeah I 100% agree

livid ferry
#

Accepting bad shit and just copeing is just weird

#

Defeatist mentality

#

Its not even gonna be fun in m+

#

Jpc loves to obsess about exact button usage every pack

#

Imagine 1 time you get nuts proc on some boss/pack

#

Then next time you do the key

#

You get dick

#

And you wipe

#

Sounds fun to me

I accepted defeat

1 last tier on my rogue

“Sorry guys slot machine broke, run it back”

Gunslinger Tisu gonna show guy how to play outlaw

mossy carbon

I'm not accepting, I've said before in this channel that I don't like it and wish it was deterministic or that there was only 1 RNG bonus.

I like the base gameplay of kyrian sub a lot and I hope the tier set doesn't fuck with it too much. At least from hitting a dummy a bit it interferes a lot with the usual flow and it will take me a while to get used to it, but it's something different to play with and react to. The RNG sucks a lot, I agree, I don't play sub for that.

livid ferry

Sub isn’t really the react to stuff spec

#

Its the plan stuff spec

#

I think a number of people are frustrated with it. We also have a past of being stuck with shit for multiple tiers.

or being shit
