Thistle Tea

Classes Rogue

let’s talk about the elephant in the room

the way that the Thistle Tea is now have left it way harder for newer players coming to the game trying to play this spec im pretty sure that this was not what blizzard intended to do. Now when playing it you have to pool/careful way more to make sure u dont hit below 30 and if u do 2bad there goes one of your cds and left energy staffed this can happen if u use any of your defensive to stay alive or just ofc using one of your abilities wrong. I strongly suggest a talent to either spec out of it or into it fully reverting it the auto use change. this bc has become way to clunky and annoying to play

They could make Thistle Tea a choice node with two options to either include auto-trigger or the old version.

Auto trigger tea is the worst decision ever made, this clearly shows signs the dev doesnt even plays a rogue and have no clue how the class works at all

Disabling the auto-use won’t make the class better; it’ll just make it unnecessarily harder for players who actually know what they’re doing. It sounds like you want it removed because you’re making mistakes and don’t want to take responsibility for it. The solution isn’t to remove the feature - it’s for you to git gud.

Please tell me how disabling auto-use makes it harder “for players who actually know what they are doing?”

Let me break it down for you since you seem confused:

Removing auto-use would mean that instead of focusing on core gameplay (positioning, managing burst windows, dealing with mechanics), players would have to babysit an extra button that is already being used optimally by the system. It takes away the streamlined efficiency and puts an artificial burden on the player, turning energy management into a clunky, tedious chore. Subtlety has enough cooldowns to manage as is.

So you’re telling people to get good because they make rotational errors in a hectic m+ dungeon or raid encounter, but not to get good enough to the point where they can press an off-gcd button a few times in an encounter or just macro it to an ability? Surely players who ‘know what they’re doing’ can handle pressing a button every so often?

FWIW it’s not being used optimally by the system either, because sin rogue wants to keep charges for kingsbane/shiv windows and you can easily accidentally go under 35 energy cap using feint or trying to burst an important add/totem down (this is the reason people are arguing against auto-use always on). Ironically you now have even more of a hassle with energy because you have to ensure your next GCD won’t take you under and waste your tea. Someone who isn’t making mistakes won’t even make use of the auto-use feature.

I’m sorry but the only one confused here seems to be you.
So instead of “Hmm I’m low on energy and/or need it for burst window for the mastery boost let’s pop it” I now have to watch out for the 35 energy limit so charges don’t get wasted…
If anything, leaving it in means you are less focused on core gameplay because you spend more time focusing on not wasting your tea charges.
