Im also glad realz was here yesterday - so that additionally shows we are not forgotten

strange chasm
#

Sin is so good in aoe but in ST in keys it feels so bad

haughty mural
#

Pure vibes right now

uncut bloom
#

This is the only thing that bugs me as well, it’s minor but yeah would be nice to have a bit more energy or cp generation outside dance or symbols. Otherwise love the burst.

haughty mural
steel horizon
#

who is he and why are u glad

#

is he a dev? lol

steel spindle
#

How should we use Symbols and Dance now?

#

I can do M+ fine but I'm definetely missing something about the rotation. I notice in raid for sure.

tribal blade
#

oh shit bugs might be fixed soon?

#

hell yeah

hazy breach
#

I think he was referring to supercharger specifically, but i could be incorrect

#

Could be more stuff, well see

#

Hopefully RS

tribal blade
#

the RS one would be big

ebon tiger
#

trickster feeling pretty fun with the right pull sizes in m+. frost dk still put me in the dirt though Okay

tribal blade
#

yeah you're not gonna be keeping up with other specs that aren't capped like trickster is

lilac stag
narrow dirge
#

Feels bad losing transmitter roll 4 times

ebon tiger
#

a guardian angel traded me an lfr transmitter this week. shout out to that guy Gladge

tribal blade
#

oh my god

#

new sub is so much better on queen

#

heroic

#

it doesn't feel aids to play anymore

#

having symbols charges and actually being able to sit on stuff

wanton bronze
#

is So Tricky bugged or just doesnt show the buff?

#

maybe i need to relog?

tribal blade
#

you should have a 1 hour buff

wanton bronze
#

gonna try relogging

tribal blade
wanton bronze
#

nope

tribal blade
#

with tricks active on whoever you're tricksing

#

then you get the 1 hour buff

#

if you press tricks and don't hit anything you just have the 30 second buff till it falls off

wanton bronze
pliant topaz
#

okay next week after their nerf we surely beat them

sinful sluice
#

is it fine to use tricks of trade in ovinax raid?

#

also is slow poison better then atk reduce one here

strange chasm
pliant topaz
#

okay imma be honest youre not beating an enhancement playing sin either

#

this isnt beatable damage

strange chasm
#

Wow that's crazy

#

Yeah I'm doing around 2.4 with sin but 3.14 damn

uncut bloom
pliant topaz
#

coulda done more but key was too low

#

on the 14 I woulda finished 2.2M

#

but we bricked to last boss

south seal
pliant topaz
wind canopy
#

So clearly what you’re saying the nerf is truly for enhance shamans’ safety NODDERS

pliant topaz
#

nah wont matter they dont pull agro cuz theyre doing too much damage

#

they can put 1 dot on 1 mob and all the mobs jsut jump them

warm aspen
#

i've noticed that whenever i press dance the mobs all just ignore me

pliant topaz
#

yeah dance removes ur threat

tribal blade
#

you basically take almost 0 threat during dance

#

a lvl 60 could hold aggro over you during dance

warm ore
#

If symbols is on cd do i hold dance and sectech or just send? Playing trickster

sinful sluice
#

i think you always have symbols by dance no?

pliant topaz
#

depends on how many stacks of symbols u play with. but generally you symbols/dance when sectech cd < 8 sconds when you have multiple stacks of sod

#

and no sod/dnace if flag cd < 30

#

if u play with 1 symbol, then u hold dance/flag for symbols

warm ore
#

Aight, im playing with multiple stacks but maybe i just fucked up and fat fingered my keybinds so ran out of symbols

pliant topaz
#

u will run out eventually, and thats where symbols management/ planning becomes important

zenith oriole
#

Note: The first Dance is good for Mythic+, the 6 seconds out of combat requirement is not a problem. which talent do I take out to skill the first dance?

pliant topaz
#

WM

zenith oriole
#

wm?

south seal
pliant topaz
zenith oriole
#

Best enchants for M+ on weapons?

sick jackal
#

depths

zenith oriole
#

on both weapons? Or mastery on offhand?

sick jackal
#

boths from wowhead

warm aspen
#

man have we looked into harvester's edict since like early season?

#

was messing around with a heroic version i got just now

#

and i can actually see the ball now, as opposed to b4

#

it does do dmg

tribal blade
zenith oriole
#

Yes i just simmed it, Authority of Depths + Radiant Power is best for dungeon slice for me

steel heart
#

Hey all, I am trying to create a macro but I fail miserably. Could any of you help? I want to create a macro that when stealthed casts sap on my mouseover target, when not stealthed does the same for blind (same button)

wind canopy
#

It's just /cast [stance:1, @mouseover] Sap; [@mouseover] Blind

steel heart
#

I got confused with the nostealth, stealth conditions, thanks 🙂

noble patio
#

Okay... this is an interesting bug. If you use Coup de Grace but don't have SnD active, the proc gets used, you get the extra stacks of Flawless Form, but it doesn't deal any damage.

#

I'll have to verify though

steel heart

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
zenith oriole
#

anyone even playing Deathstalker in M+'

#

?

warm aspen
#

trickster feels hella nice

#

legit just shadow outlaw, ez to make the switch

zenith oriole
#

I think DS needs also 3 charges of symbols to be fun

warm aspen
#

i think DS reminds me of vanilla wow

#

when i tried it for like 15 mins way back when

#

wayyyyy too limited for how much more dynamic and challenging the game's gotten

sly shore
#

I had tfd activate during combat after vanishing yesterday

remote shard
#

man, I find sud really hard to learn

wet echo
# tribal blade you basically take almost 0 threat during dance

bit of a late reply but you don't generate less aggro during dance, it's just that all the mobs consider you stealthed and won't go on you unless you're the only one with aggro, a level 1 can hold aggro over you while in dance but as soon as dance ends, even if you don't press anymore buttons, you'll have all the aggro generated during stealth

sly shore
keen dome
#

Do you remember what dungeon it was, at least?

keen dome
#

Huh, that's really curious..

sly shore
#

@vale pine lil bug for you to enjoy :3

wet echo
#

let's find a way to replicate it consistently 🙂

glad vale
#

Guys, is it a good idea to macro Shadow Blades and Flagellation together? Since they're always used together, is there a downside to that approach?

heady gulch
#

well flag has longer duration so I use it before blades to get some stacks

glad vale
#

Ah, that is a good point!

vale pine
#

you can macro blades to secret

#

is probably the clostest to optimal you can do

gritty knot
#

Ye since Flag uses a GCD too u and has longer duration u want to get the most out of it. So ideally in ST u want to start with vanish, shadowstrike for full cp then flag and immediately evis, then vanish so U can shadowstrike again for full cp, then rupture and THEN press all CDs like potions, SoD, Shadowblades etc.

#

Not start with "vanish" i meant to write "stealth" instead of vanish

glad vale
gritty knot
#

U want to get the most of this 12 Seconds flag window with these lashes and also stack up the mastery buff from it for the actual burst window shortly after. But correct me If wrong idk

#

What I ask myself sometimes tho is, when is the best time to press Transmitter? Sometimes the jumping completely fks me over idk 😂

#

1 Sec brain afk in a key and ur fucked, for example pressing IT to early and u get the shit to stand in, Not the orbs and meanwhile the Tank travelled to Goldshire with the pack

glad vale
# vale pine you can macro blades to secret

If I may have one more question, after reading Your WoWhead guide - Would you recommend using Symbols of Death only in conjunction with Shadow Dance, or in other situations as well?

old socket
#

i think you get 1 naked symbols

vale pine
#

you use 2x symbols during blades/flag

#

then symbols with secret techniques

#

dance is optional

#

if you get closer to flag/blades you will try to get 2 charges of dance/symbols for it (dance cdr's so you don't need 2 charges but you want at least one)

sage moth
#

How do we sync Dance with SecTec ?

glad vale
#

So, the Symbols should always be up for Flagellation + Shadow Blades, and for Secret Technique. For Flagellation and Shadow Blades, it would be ideal to have 2x Symbols to cover the entire window

old socket
#

easy money

#

2 symbols 2 dances per sshadowblades and flag

vale pine
#

so no need to worry much

#

you never send a blank dance

clever delta
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
sage moth
#

Yes but for instance as opener i chain 2 dance so my 2nd dance as no sectec and then like 2 or 3 dance later i got my sectec up when my dance is not

#

I know i do somethi,g stupid but i can't figure what x)

vale pine
#

so it should be up for second again

sage moth
#

It is x) Thank you

frail trout
#

so is it bad to just macro symblos into dance? and is sec tech always my first finisher now in dance? 🤔

tribal blade
#

@vale pine how often are we using sending symbols+sectec w/o dance

woven yoke
#

for lowest apm now ?

trim ridge
#

Whats apm

woven yoke
#

action per minute

vestal path
#

how is bm 3 apm?

#

i think u press things more than once every 20 sec

topaz raptor
#

bm only uses autoshot

vestal path
topaz raptor
#

and mandate is 96% of your damage

#

because the apl is broken

#

mandate only makes up 71% of sub's damage

keen dome
#

Huh. Sub is def not 21 APM..

topaz raptor
#

of course not

#

geararang 2nd bis

cursive vapor
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
topaz raptor
#

hit up stonevault you guys

tribal blade
#

looks like i'm averaging around 54 apm

#

in last heroic raid i ran

#

which is pretty much dead middle of the pack

keen dome
#

Ye, 50 - 60 seems about right.

warm aspen
#

meanwhile law is like

#

what

tribal blade
#

our apm is only not higher because of our downtime

warm aspen
#

5 trillion

#

sub's so much better for my wrist lol

keen dome
#

Sub's APM being concentrated in a very small window is fun

warm aspen
#

ngl rogue in general is just

#

peak design now

#

i just tried to level my dh and my god half of their spells just have 0 synergy

#

literally "press this on cd for moar dmg!"

tribal blade
#

hm so from testing i've been playing around with trying to push the limit of dance+symbol usage before next cd set is ready

#

esp in aoe since cp generation is so high

#

and consensus is playing it safe and full stopping ~30 secs before next cd set is always the play

ornate current
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
shell lance
#

Dark iron dwarf sub is good in raid too?

tribal blade
shell lance
topaz raptor
#

i think mechagnome is supposed to be good for dps yeah

#

dwarf better defensively for keys

tribal blade
topaz raptor
#

orc should be up there too

tribal blade
#

dwarf is REALLY good because of stoneform

topaz raptor
#

yeah i think dwarf is bis if you run high keys

tribal blade
#

people mostly choose races based on the utility/defensives they bring

#

less so on dps

#

stoneform is so crazy good it doesn't matter about how much dps dwarf brings

topaz raptor
#

dwarf racial isn't bad at all for damage

#

too

tribal blade
#

that too! very true

#

but dwarf could be the worst dps option and key runners would still run it

shell lance
#

Yeah but in the tabel for m+ say Dark Iron but gnome?

warm aspen
#

dragon is so sick for m+ tho

#

knockback + blind

#

unbind kick and blast xD

#

esp with casters that dont wanna move

#

insec them to the pack

balmy notch
#

you could already do that with kul tiran punch, all 7 kul tiran rogues in the world did that

warm aspen
#

but see the upside is

#

u don't have to be ugly to do that anymore

balmy notch
#

😦

warm aspen
#

u always see all these ppl on forum asking for playable ogre race and im just like

tribal blade
#

stoneform still the best

warm aspen
#

but kul tirans already exist?

balmy notch
#

stop being a meanie to kultirans they just chonky

warm aspen
#

don't they also have like

#

asmongold hair

tribal blade
#

it's really difficult to fully appreciate how insane stoneform is until you start doing higher keys

#

like last boss siege is WAY easier

frosty bridge
#

it removes debuff?

warm aspen
#

i think it's like

#

bleeds

#

right?

balmy notch
#

you get to divebomb in the melees and stoneform 👍

warm aspen
#

and here i am perma jumping in the water just to give everyone else more space to do less st dps than me

#

Macky btw , wtf are these emotes

#

why is there also a raccoon lol

#

Stealthi why is this in the rogue server..

tribal blade
trim ridge
#

raccons are rogue are essentially the same

tribal blade
#

it's everything

warm aspen
#

wait so it's lke

tribal blade
#

dunno how it hasn't gotten nerfed yet tbh

warm aspen
#

a second cloak

tribal blade
#

yes

#

it's insane

#

like actually insane

#

during S3 DF every single person who could go dwarf went dwarf

#

because if you didn't your life would be miserable

warm aspen
#

almost as insane as a random raccoon emote in a server where u casually just chat with the current rank 1 OL rogue...

#

Trashpandascheme oh, there are actually 2...

tribal blade
#

on top of all that it's a 10% physical DR

#

that you can use if there's no debuffs that you know are gonna go out

warm aspen
#

ehhhhhhhhhh does 10% help that much?

#

was dicking around in 11 sob, and third boss aoe was like 2/3 my hp thru feint

#

10% of a shit like that is still just

#

deadge

#

no

tribal blade
#

using it for 10% dr is a niche use

#

the main use is as a dispel

warm aspen
#

yeah dispel is so much bigger

#

hot take: remove the 10% DR, make it 1:30 cd xDDD

topaz raptor
#

there are a couple pretty big phys aoes

#

thrashers in mist i think are phys

tribal blade
#

sub doesn't really struggle against aoe dam in general

warm aspen
#

ik those exist, but im saying 10% isn't rly gonna save us lol

#

like just stack feint + dance

topaz raptor
#

10% is a lot better than nothing

tribal blade
#

again it's not the dr, it's the dispel

#

like the 2 dots that go out on the last boss of siege

warm aspen
#

yup

tribal blade
#

hit so goddamn hard

#

having both cloak+stoneform is really, really good

warm aspen
#

does it remove SV last boss

tribal blade
#

actually not sure about that one, haven't tested it yet

#

but you can remove the curses the trash puts out

#

in SV

warm aspen
#

being able to just stoneform the dot and sit on boss sounds like a dream lol

topaz raptor
#

doubt it but that fight is so free it doesn't matter

warm aspen
#

i swear, having to stop spamming during my flag window

#

just sends me into a rage

tribal blade
#

you can pretty much use stoneform in every single dungeon

#

there's always something you can dispel off yourself

warm aspen
#

yeah the only drawback is

#

ur ugly again

#

😫

tribal blade
#

yeah that's the worst part

warm aspen
#

can't imagine turning this into a dwarf LOL

tribal blade
#

i hate how dwarves look, but it's too good to pass up

nimble burrow
#

Is it common to send secret before coup in dance? Or should never do it?

warm aspen
#

just stay a pretty race and then scream at ur healer for dispels in comms xD

warm aspen
#

just looking at the descriptions, if the target's already fazed, u prolly lead with coup right

#

and sectech if it isn't

#

since the logic is coup on fazed = more dmg for sectech but sectech = guaranteed fazed

shell lance
#

Or earthen for the high armour race passive

warm aspen
#

unless getting sectech out 1st is super important for cdr?

nimble burrow
#

peace_and_tranquility ty

vale pine
tribal blade
#

seems like it would happen more if you lose a lot of uptime on bosses

#

and your cdr becomes a bit scuffed

vale pine
#

yes

#

subtlety still has not the best recovery

#

but downtime also means you get more symbols charges back

tribal blade
#

man symbols on a charge system is pure heaven

#

it's so good

#

before this patch i was preferring to play sin in ST over sub because of how miserable everything was

#

and now i think i prefer sub, this is so much fun

warm aspen
#

sin is so strange

vale pine
#

agree

#

sub plays rly well now

warm aspen
#

like u set up so many things

#

and then u look at details

vale pine
#

it has a lot of small cuts still, but the high-ish tuning means we can forgive most of them

warm aspen
#

and envenom is like 90% of ur dmg

vale pine
#

supercharger is just soo good

tribal blade
#

yeah supercharger is amazing

#

it seems like it should honestly be in the sub tree

vagrant fulcrum
#

So uh

tribal blade
#

actually must be good for OL too

vagrant fulcrum
#

What’s my character doing to supercharge

#

Like what is the action?

warm aspen
#

i wanted to respond with the pantsgrab emoji lol

#

but this server has like 5 different raccoon emojis and no pantsgrab...

#

no entiendo

noble patio
vagrant fulcrum
#

It doesn’t even make sense

#

Like even the more obscure stuff atleast tried

warm aspen
#

prolly just steroids we stole from the kyrians

#

anima or whatever

#

we literally pickpocket so

noble patio
#

Yeah, probably some anima boosters we kept from SL

warm aspen
#

i think of it like a batman thing

vagrant fulcrum
#

“Invoke ancient symbols of power”

#

Or the other shadow death ninja stuff

#

Has a theme or some kind of explanation

#

Meanwhile supercharge out here breaking the fourth wall

warm aspen
#

like how some iterations of batman will literally just pull a syringe out of his plot armor belt and inject himself with either Venom or just actual adrenaline

#

maybe we do that too

#

just stick a needle into our own ass for a power boost

vagrant fulcrum
#

We out here doping

vale pine
warm aspen
keen dome
#

Your symbols of ancient power are more potent.

sacred yarrow
#

the power of friendship

warm aspen
#

actually tho, it kinda looks like some kindda anima battery

#

maybe we legit just zap ourselves

#

lol

#

that ALSO wouldn't be the worst thing rogues in canon do.

sacred yarrow
#

so basically we're jason statham in cranked

trim ridge
#

what about sec tech, u just pop out some shadow clones out of ur ass

#

u could say shadow dance is a kind of stance but symbols and sec are weird as fuck lmao

#

roleplay wise i mean

warm aspen
#

nah all the sub stuff are straight magic

#

right

merry agate
#

I wish they would focus more on clones 😦 they only ever get used for tier Boni

Think thats a cool class fantasy xla

Gimme more of em!

trim ridge
#

yep

#

when legion came sub was transformed into a void something rogue

#

thematically

warm aspen
#

i always thought that sin and law are like, traditional scoundrels

#

and sub is actual magic users

sacred yarrow
#

so, spell thieves?

trim ridge
#

kinda

warm aspen
#

bummer to lose nightblade tho

trim ridge
#

but void spell thieves

#

i mean shadowblades

#

also a shadow damage spell, our eviscerates now also deal shadow damage

#

pretty weird thematically if we are just an average guy with 2 knives

#

but cool

warm aspen
#

gosh i hope we aren't just average guy with 2 knives

trim ridge
#

i mean

#

the name of the spec doesnt share the fantasy of the class imo

#

i love sub tho

ornate current
#

The spell that chained sub down so much when it came to swapping targets in a time where we didnt have an actual aoe finisher

#

Nah it can stay dead forever

vale pine
#

icons and spell names are easy changed ^^

#

i wouldn't mind to have that happen

#

would eliminate the

#

whining that rupture does more damage on sub

fallow nimbus
#

Like at level x it becomes nightblade but is just rupture in purple

#

Isn't there some rank 2 rupture stuff somewhere while leveling?

vale pine
#

just change the name and icon

spark tusk
#

I’d be down

fallow nimbus
#

That's what i mean but from blizz side not just macro

vale pine
#

yes

fallow nimbus
#

But they probably would still complain that the dot does more dmg feelskek

vagrant fulcrum
#

like black powder is throwing explosive powder, backstab is ... stabbing them in the back

muted agate
#

black sand

spark tusk
vagrant fulcrum
#

falls more into the edgy shadow ninja stuff that came in legion with nightblade etc

spark tusk
#

If we’re talking theme and lore, then I agree supercharger is very much gameplay first, without consideration for lore

vivid cobalt
#

Speaking of supercharger, is it working correctly right now when it consumes a charged combo point regardless of how many points you have?

#

Is it supposed to be easier to use than echoing reprimand in that regard or is shit just bugged

placid elk
#

its poorly worded. should be your next finisher after using symbols/shiv/rtb deals dmg as if 2 extra cp were used

vale pine
#

its worded like this

#

to exclude slice and dice

muted agate
#

fucking coup dashes

#

i swear to god

#

dashed to CoT last boss orb again

#

i love it

vale pine
#

it is also skill expression to not charge accidentally

#

i am not saying its a good one tho

fringe palm
#

my skill is really expressed when i make the auto before evis proc coup

tribal blade
#

and gives flavor for free

#

with just a name and icon change

#

there's no reason for sin and sub to share rupture between the 2

vale pine
#

red or

#

purple

south seal
#

Purple is like more shadowy themed for sub

tribal blade
#

am i blind, i don't see a difference

vale pine
#

I only made a clean icon version, but if anyone wants.
How to use:

  • Extract
  • Copy INV_Ability_Rogue_Flagellation.tga to World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\ICONS
  • The icons used are modified versions from Clean icons
tribal blade
#

OH is it the flag icon?

#

yeah i just saw it

vale pine
#

yes

keen dome
#

Purple, def.

tribal blade
#

i think red looks better, but purple is thematically better

#

maybe i'm just too used to flag being red

vale pine
#

red has a nicer contrast, but purple looks more subtlety like

tribal blade
#

yeah purple better flavor

south seal
#

Purple does taste better

zenith oriole
#

How much Mastery should you have?

tribal blade
#

vers buffs all damage, mastery is only finishers

#

and we have a bit more damage with builders currently

#

than we usually do

tribal blade
lilac stag
fallow nimbus
tribal blade
lilac stag
#

Just have it hidden unless in combat without it.

vale pine
#

so should be even

tribal blade
vale pine
#

i like to know if snd is up

#

even tho its useless info

lilac stag
#

It’s always up

keen dome
lilac stag
#

and if it’s not, unhide it center of screen.

keen dome
#

Haha

lilac stag
#

Worse case what you sent a rupture instead of an Evis?

#

3 globals without SnD. HOLY

keen dome
#

I wonder if the next step will just make us have it, always, passively.

#

Or if this is where it lives for the next five yearw.

lilac stag
#

likely stay like this

nimble burrow
#

i have a little stupid question, for sub we always need to keep we got 2 dance+ symbol when we enter the beautiful big burst, so we need to calculate when to hold dance+ symbol?

lilac stag
#

Something to track not give a shit about

keen dome
#

Ye, it feels like the logical spot for it.

vale pine
keen dome
#

Yeah, honestly.

vale pine
#

but i think its like such a small improvement that its not worth their time

keen dome
#

Harder to apply to all three specs, I guess.

vale pine
#

my opinion is, they are happy with it as is

#

they could just link it to ambush

#

so it would work on all 3

keen dome
#

KiR doesn't use Ambush, right?

vale pine
#

they can

keen dome
#

Nod

vale pine
#

ambush basically translates into strike

keen dome
#

But yeah, Ambush / SS makes the most sense since it's how we, ideally, start fights.

vale pine
#

if you make a macro

#

/cast ambush and use it on subtlety

#

it casts strike

keen dome
#

Ye, I remember you mentioning it during DF

vale pine
#

its one of all the "fun" party tricks we have

keen dome
#

I'm pretty happy with this though. CttC being uniform on all three specs, giving us S&D off our main spender. Groovy.

vale pine
#

basically just reverted snd

#

so re-invented the wheel

#

because snd was removed in legion

#

then came back

keen dome
#

With a vengeance

vale pine
#

to now be almost back to be removed

keen dome
#

Probably the happiest middleground.

vale pine
#

its the same but diffrent, because you need to actively use evis

#

which we might not do

#

if the hero talents change, get removed or we get more hero talents

#

(in aoe)

keen dome
#

True, true. But, hopefully, they consider that in the future.

#

I think it's interesting to see them trying to design stuff for all 3 specs, to benefit all 3 specs, in different ways

#

CttC change, Supercharger, etc.

vale pine
#

supercharger is kinda a nerf to outlaw

#

the cp income of ER was higher with 1 less talent point requirement

#

now you need to spend 1 more point for about equal combo points

#

its important because the main benefit for outlaw from the talent is from the cdr part

keen dome
#

Nod True

vivid cobalt
#

doesn't rly matter all the outlaws are banned anyway

zenith oriole
#

bettter nerf Rogues more

shell lance
#

This is similar of stone form right?

hazy breach
#

Yesnt. It dispels the same things yes

#

But its also a big dps cd

#

So you want to use it with your cds

round latch
#

doesnt last that much though,its 8 sec

hazy breach
#

Thats not a max lvl btw, its like 8k agi at llv 80

#

But yes its 8 seconds

round latch
#

huh,goes even higher?

#

thats nutty

#

me like

Sims roughly the same as orc or mechagnome

Unless youre like sub and target capped kek

Outlul is many things but not boring

hazy breach
#

But tbf the hardcap doesnt really matter much compared to softcap. The difference is vastly overstated

vestal escarp
#

Dh is uncapped in demonsurge and ragefire

vale pine
#

you are ideally uncapped

#

but just keep in mind, outlaw was the go-to spec in s3/4

#

besides having a cap

#

tuning and dungeon design are more important than caps

is WCL doing something against the bug abusers?

vale pine

they remove bug logs usually

is it trackeable through logs? I believe it is, but, I could not understand how to spot it

vale pine
#

don't think its easy to detect

gilded ferry
#

for sub i think its kinda easy, like, using DS in ulgrax and being top damage is pretty sus already

vale pine
#

it is more that there is no buff you can track that indicates the bug

I gave them a way to accurately detect the bug for outlaw but they haven't removed the logs yet

I think it’s about time we discuss the next sub rogue rework, one we’re in desperate need of clearly, and I know exactly where to find inspiration: Tien Shinhan.

What if they reworked Eviscerate into DODON RAY, and every time we use our new main finisher DODON RAY, we get a nice little DODON RAY scream from our character. Ofc DODON RAY would also be a beam attack meaning as sub rogues we now gain some much needed range. “But but won’t that go against our shadow theme” shut up, just make it purple.

As for secret technique, I’m sick of this ability getting no real love, it’s time to replace it with Tien’s infamous Tri-Beam attack, they both have something to do with three so it serves as a perfect replacement for secret technique. On top of that, we get to do some cool hand sign shit and don’t say it doesn’t fit thematically again just make it purple and it fits.

Finally, after all our DODON RAY spam and our occasional Tri-Beam attacks, I think we should by default have a third eye that activates upon using “shadow blades”. This third eye will serve to make Tri-Beam attack spammable, however you pass out for an undisclosed period of time after spamming enough Tri-Beams.

I personally think this is what sub rogue really needs right now and hope the community can come together to agree with a damn good opinion in this channel.

which isnt possible otherwise

only way i found to accurately detect without false positives

#

cause like

#

you can check buff uptimes and shit

solemn lance

wicked joltBOT
leaden prairie
#

but you never know someone could get very lucky right

#

like roll a 6 buff on pull extend it the whole fight or whatever

pliant topaz
leaden prairie
#

thats not really something you can accurately check tho

#

sure as an human

#

looking at a log like that

#

you realize its bugged

#

but you cant really look at average vanish uptime and determine anything

#

i dont htink so

#

not in a way that wouldnt trigger false positives imo

left ledge
#

If you’re pressing vanish

#

And bte

#

For 99% of the fight

#

You’re probably abusing

alpine wraith
#

yea but do that with 100000 logs

#

idk there is a sure way to do it does not mean there are not more

left ledge
#

Find me a legit log that has vanish and bte as the only things being pressed

alpine wraith
#

but it is easier to just check if it has any 13 cp finishers

#

ONCE

#

instead of checking vanish bte or dmg on evis

#

or some other things

left ledge
#

I mean that’s true but idk if they have a way to see that

alpine wraith
#

after culling all of those

#

you can go into other things

#

it is easy to check as zac said for ruthlessness for outlaw and for sub relentless strikes

ornate current
vale pine
#

the discussion was about sub abusers not outlaw

#

it is easier to find it on outlaw

left ledge
#

Oh for sub it’s impossible

vale pine
#

fairly obviouse

left ledge
#

Unless you can see combo points

#

You’d have to like manually check dance cds

pliant topaz
left ledge
#

But not everybody is just slamming dance

#

But honestly

#

Sub isn’t that crazy with it lmao

leaden prairie
#

they want to be able to just make a quick scripts

vale pine
leaden prairie
#

that check events

#

or certain chain of events

vale pine
#

like 200k more vs.3x your dps

left ledge
leaden prairie
#

what you are talking about is not really feasible easely

#

and its not accurate enough

left ledge
#

Trickster just does better

#

But yeah like 200k is still giga in st

#

But eh whatever

pliant topaz
#

There are libraries that do that for you. Built in functions and all

#

As long as u parse the logs for it

alpine wraith
leaden prairie
#

you are talking about parsing a shit ton of logs to build data for an average and shit

alpine wraith
#

if it is more than 50 CULLED

leaden prairie
#

its certainly not as easy as a simple script that just goes trough log and check certain chain of events

left ledge
#

I’d assume relentless has a cap

alpine wraith
#

no relentless gives 5 per cp

#

so if they get more than 50 they exploited

left ledge
#

Is excess accounted for

alpine wraith
#

of course

left ledge
#

Because in dance you’re perma energy capped anyways

alpine wraith
#

you look at the event

left ledge
#

Yeah ig if excess is logged too

alpine wraith
#

how else do you think you get the excess energy breakdown

I forgot that existed ngl

I don’t analyze logs

#

Hi i have a question is it a bug that i only sometimes can use my shadowstrike afte vanish or is it only a chance that i can activate it

vale pine
#

you should always be able to use strike after vanish

pliant topaz
#

Im pretty sure theres a bug with it, ive had it too where i cant strike after vanish

#

^^ pretty sure theres a bug attached to it fuu.

#

on dummies if you try it sometimes it fully drops combat but doesnt give u stealth, and u have to resteatlh strike

vale pine
#

must be new, i haven't noticed it

#

interessting

icy knot
#

oh cuz i am in the raid right now and i wanted to do my opener but i cant

uneven scarab
#

if you ss like the same global as vanish it just takes you right out of stealth

pliant topaz

yeah it is new

uneven scarab
#

ive had it happen and ive seem some other people bring it up

pliant topaz
#

i noticed it on ptr, its still here

uneven scarab
#

Very wacky

pliant topaz
#

yeah could be taht

#

if you strike too fast

uneven scarab
#

you even get the ss teleport but then nothing happens

pliant topaz
#

theres a similar bug with last boss COT. where if u root break her root too fast she roots you

#

like with vanish

spark tusk
#

Do we just use vanish strike on cd?

pliant topaz
#

in raid kinda yea

whenever needed

pliant topaz

hazy breach
#

Theres another bug with vanish that i dont know if its new or not

#

But shadowcraft doesnt seem to refund cp when youve vanished

pliant topaz
#

oh thast interesting. Ive noticed another bug with shadowcraft too

hazy breach
#

Which fucks me up on queen

pliant topaz
#

ive noticed sometimes sod is up and shadowcraft just fully does not refund at all

#

i think it has to do with dance/stealth dropping

vale pine
pliant topaz
#

like if dance ends and u keep stacking it wont get refunded until u press sod again

hazy breach
#

Its probably the same/adjacent to the bug youre talking about armin

pliant topaz
#

most likely yea

#

I wasnt sure if its RS related or something

#

but happens a lot

#

Its not RS

#

I didnt play RS and it still happens

how does transmitter work in the opener? do we still go for 2 sec tecs during the buff?

glacial basin
#

how does the cloak works? some time idont take any damage and sometimes it deals the damage like rasha nan soaks or sikran shattering sweep

hazy breach
#

Sometimes things ignore cloak, sometimes cloak only works on the first second and a lot of the time it just works

#

If its magic cloak usually works is the only rule of thumb, but as you've noticed theres exceptions

#

Rogue defensives in general is very much "try it and see if it works or not because theres no way of knowing beforehand" Surebud

yea the way he describes the spec is rlly funny

#

he talks about how hard is it consistently when hes talking abt it

#

it is*

vale pine
#

whats funny is

#

i just replaced my flagellation icon today

#

with a colored one

#

and i already got used to it

spark tusk
#

Is that possible without a custom icon?

#

like is the old icon still available in the game files?

vale pine
spark tusk
#

Damn

vale pine
#

you can

#

only do one custom icon

spark tusk
#

I mean I can also just adjust the color slider on the icon

vale pine
#

its like 10-20kb

spark tusk
#

in a WA

vale pine
#

that does color the entire spell

spark tusk
#

yeah

#

not ideal

#

:/

vale pine
#

its not the original icons tho

vale pine
#

(i could do one for the baseline icons too)

vale pine
#

you essentially just drop the icon in interface\ICONS

#

and the game graps it from there

lilac stag
vale pine
#

so every time you reference it in game it uses the one you put in the file path

#

BUT

#

it isn't replacing any game files

#

so if you delete it from the folder

lilac stag
#

the original icon still available to use.

vale pine
#

it defaults back to the game files

lilac stag
#

so just depends what approach you want to take

vale pine
#

you can't use both at the same time ?

#

or

lilac stag
#

Huh? You 100% can use the old icon

vale pine
#

no i mean

#

the pre edited

#

and post edited

lilac stag
#

oh no, and the edit is nice. Still too monochromatic.

#

at least for my vision

vale pine
#

the pre 11.0.5 icon is still in the game files iirc

lilac stag
#

I can’t quickly see if it’s on cd or not based off coloring

#

I know. I posted the link for the icon number.

#

My current setup.

Hey guys! Is it possible to make a macro where it wouldn't cast Symbols of Death in case I already have it buffed?

vale pine
sweet summit
#

its a bit weird

#

i like that he nailed down the part about hes either doing a ton of dmg or none simply by wasting cds

wet echo
sweet summit
#

but some other parts he just has different issues from what i had i think

sullen hare
#

!sod works to help keep you from instantly recasting but you're still gonna have to manually keep an eye on it

wicked joltBOT
#

Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs

wet echo
#

^ @gray yew you can change the "reset=2" to any other number, even 10 if you really don't wanna overlap them

#

but that would be suboptimal 😄

gray yew
#

what does "cqs" stand for?

sullen hare
#

Not super familiar with cast sequence macros personally but I assume it's treated like a }

gray yew
#

If I wanna put Flagellation into it, should it put it after the "cqs"?:D

sullen hare
#

I would recommend against doing that

gray yew
#

To optimize the energy regen?

#

Anyways, thank you very much for the macro!

when playing DS ST, do we still send secTech 2nd finishedr in dance or first now

wowhead says

#

During Shadow Dance:
Use Finishing Moves when on 6 or more Combo Points with the following priority:
Use Secret Technique.
Use Eviscerate.

wispy pebble
#

always first now afaik

wispy bolt
#

cool cool. also how we we tell what top logs for mythic raid are just from people bug abusing? trying to use lorrgs but i dont want get bamboozled

vale pine
#

but 2nd dance secret

#

is delayed

mint timber
#

What is the absolutely most bursty rotation possible at this moment? + points for spec link 😄

vale pine
#

its not at the start of dance

vale pine
#

BUT

wispy bolt
#

okay. do we even play DS on kyveza and sikran rn?

#

or is trickster better

vale pine
#

also would totally fuck your long term dps

sweet summit
#

how r u guys managing symbols rn

vale pine
#

2 x during flag

#

and then one for each secret

mint swift
#

I just looked at rota

#

cause we are doing mythic prog and idk if sub is better than assa for bloo

#

dseing shadowblades after ST hurt my brain

vale pine
#

you just blades with flag

#

so flag-finish-cooldowns

#

its very similar to before

#

the skill expression outside of this

#

is to use symbols/dance/secret charges well

sweet summit
#

i send 2 with flag but i could be sending the 3rd one too early

vale pine
#

2x symbols 2x dance with flag/blades

smoky aspen
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
wispy pebble
#

do we pool dances before flag and sb come up? i sometimes dont have SD when Flag comes up

vale pine
#

yes

mint swift
#

Huh i might try it

#

is the rota the same

vale pine
#

you want to not use cooldowns too close to flag

mint swift
#

just build cp, evic, use symbols and dance toghether

wispy pebble
mint swift
#

Im happy dust is gone tho

#

fuck dust

wispy pebble
#

basically like old trickster

vale pine
#

it depends

#

but yes

#

possible that you send a symbols without dance

wispy pebble
#

guess i will have to check my cooldowns then on 1 dance pre flag

#

and if im at 1 i just use SoD Sectec

mint swift
#

I just remember startying to dislike sub in keys mainly

#

then played assa instead

#

and then enjoyed assa in raid too so i just full swapped

vale pine
#

subtlety is quite fun this patch

#

it still is difficult to optimize

#

and has a lot of small things that could be better

#

but hey, we take it

merry agate
#

work in progress i hope 🙂

#

just a little polish left

topaz raptor
#

about to troll a key with sub, is it very similar to 11.0 playstyle?

vale pine
#

a bit more dynamic

#

secret first finisher in dance always

topaz raptor
#

very interesting

vale pine
#

and you align symbols with secret

topaz raptor
#

secret first only with blades and double dance? or on the in-between ones too

vale pine
#

during blades

#

you will secret in 2nd dance later because it comes up later

#

and you want to use secret with supercharger

#

so always first or second finisher after symbols

wispy pebble
#

How long do i delay SoD and Sectec for SD align? i sometiumes have like 7 secs left and can either send evis into Sd Sod Sectec or Sod Sectec and then dance with next cooldowns

topaz raptor
#

do you run tornado?

vale pine
#

you don't always need to use dance with symbols/secret

#

sometimes you need to send it blank

wispy pebble
#

Yea but do i just send it blank on cd or do i delay for 1 evis cast if that means i align

#

basically only happens when i have downtime due to mechanic tbh but still idk what to do then optimally
