I don't have 120M to be clear, that's overall revenues not profit
I've spent a shitload
and yeah
I spent 1.2M on the mount
enchanting dust was good steady income until people found an exploit
It crashed hard about 3 weeks ago. Then again last week.
Ideally you BS to get flawless back up
Wait i thought you get flawless from backstab?
you do
oh wait i'm dumb i read BS as black powder for some reason
yeah so you bs to get flawless, but if youre capped out on combo points and dont have flawless up against over 1 target you black powder, right?
thats what the guide says
I’d be more inclined to rupture something
why is black powder still a thing 
if all targets have rupture, would it make sense to just keep bs and eating combo points until you get flawless, then evisc?
or just send the bp?
personally I'd probably evisc a prio target if you aren't gonna rupture
In that case you’re probably BPing. Likely not the case as something should be coming back up (ST/sod)
if you don't have coup
okay gotcha
get saucy with a Kidney
We aren’t spreading rupture nearly as much so the chance to spread more is good. Or cc something.
BP is a wet noodle on trickster
You have options
yeah in m+ we kinda just send like 2 casts of rupture on 4 targets total and then go into burst yeah? or are you rupturing all targets OR ust going straight into burst?
at the beginning you go insta on cds
because you have charger
so you strike flag dance blast while activating transmitter
charger is from symbols yeah? so you dont spread rupture then pop symbols/cds for charger?
you mean like before you even put in the key?
yes
sure that makes sense, i mean more like in the middle of the dungeon between packs
with no charger already stacked
yea you strike rupture storm rupture
okay yeah makes sense thank you
then go into cds
does the sim take into account the 2 supercharger combo points you can get pre pull?
is this a at 4 target count thing and you'd rupture more if theres more mobs active
It currently does not no
Not by default that is
forgot i had pickpocket macro'd to my kidney/cheapshot macro
turned into a giant beetle mid pull
Only time I’m rupturing first is during a chain pull when tank is gathering. Otherwise I prio getting sectech on cd
ah fair getting sectech on cd also makes sense
sounds like you had fun
I think there’s def some learning the pulls kinda priority
OH yeah
the other dps will def impact choices
it was the only fun part of the key, because i put too much trust into guildies and they almost ruined a easy key
happens
at least it's "almost", still got loot and timed it
stunning secret
Does sub do more boss dmg than sin? I've been proggin brood as sin but they want to squeeze out more boss dmg since we have enough aoe/cleave for adds.
pretty sin's slightly ahead in pure st now, but sub has the advantage of playing one build for both aoe and st
so when sin optimizes for aoe we do more st than them
but idk if sin plays full m+ build on brood lol
im beeg stoopid
yea
for brood in particular doesnt sin end up doing more boss damage with their prio/funnel
Would you do trickster or deathstalker on brood?
or does sub get similar value
ive killed as both. trickster was more enjoyable
is "both" not the pre-minirework answer lol, not trying to start argument, just genuinely confused
is ds even still a thing? esp on cleave/aoe?
there are logs of both kills right now too. the DS kill does abuse the trickster bug though.
from my experience trickster does more damage
is more fun
and less cringe
Good lord I really want to try to get into sub rogue but the rotational barrier to entry is frying my eyeballs and brain
completely unbiased ofc
good sir it's literally free
sub is now a 12121212 spec
is it?
just with slightly more buff cooldowns to manage
I mean the rotational priority list reads like a math problem
theres not that may logs of sub on that fight anyways, hard to know but yeah from my experience DS is a disaster
im just trying to help the new person feel less nervous sir
Armin and I have zero bias with Derp Stalker
Is that really what it is outside of the cooldowns?
like a slaps roof of car moment
Maybe I need to focus on stuff one thing t a time
rupture, backstab, evis, storm - so depending on target count 3-4 buttons
but its like
lol I even tried downloading hekili to see if the rotational helper would give me a feel on dummies and it kept telling me to use a button I couldn’t even use lol
saying any spec has only 2 buttons
Hope you’re paying attention to your cp refunds and not striking over them with your 121212 
Can't believe they're ignoring our best button: SecTec.
oh true lmao, we're sometimes a 122 spec, it's so actually so sexy
WAIT you right
mb mb mb
big sad now, sectech is the giga dopamine button
okay this is not possible because of RS
this shit is the most frustrating thing ive ever had to play with
Just outside of cooldowns it’s only backstab and evis?
i do hit it every once in a while even with rs
but yeah it's so fking weird
is sub viable for low keys or is sin just way better? kinda hate playing sin tbh
and rupture
...just have fun with ur fav spec in lower keys no?
When you say low keys, what do you mean 'cos it can mean different things to diffetent people 🙂
and storm if you have more targets
what happened to bloodmallet 💀
I have 
Sorry can I compound on what your saying as a newbie question lol so outside of cooldowns it’s evis to get snd running rupture then rupture again to spread then black powder?
we haven't pushed updates to the baseline profiles, so talents are not read correct, as such it sims without talents
subs viable but its a bit weird on lower keys. ur cds feel wasted since shit dies so fast, u cant farm enough dances etc. even a 12 (if youre playing with good specss like enhance) feels low
it gets better on 13/14s
hekili is kind of ass, but I'm curious - what button?
What do sub rogues bring to a high level mythic?
No hero. No. Brez. No Iron wire. No aoe stun etc
Finally, something similar to me.
KEKW the mage approach
I guess below 8? Haven’t done a key yet
Absolutely fine if you enjoy playing it then, ye.
think eleem already made a pr to update talents, its fairly easy fixable
Premeditation works only for stealth right
not dance
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Speed shroud brother man 😎 🤟
Like Armin said, stuff dies fast, so you can feel like you wasted some buttons. But you get to blow bosses up pretty quickly.
HOORAH
I don’t have game open I’d have to look it’s the red hooked blade looking one I forgot name you need to be in stealth for it just always sits up on screen
Never changing
so for our ONLY hero talent(shhhhh poopstalker doesn't exist), the first thing u wanna do is to unbind black powder
and then, out of dance, ur rly just doing everything u can to maintain ruptures and get dance back
u can spam some evisc but it ain't gonna do dmg
Seriously lol the rotational helper made me use it like 45 times in a row lol
Ok that’s good to know
yeah sub is now basically cooler outlaw
u just cleave
flurry baby
so toss bp into the fking bin
and then basically ur playing around the "fazed" shit from hero talent
basically, u debuff enemy(they get crit more), buff yourself(with finisher damage + flurry), and also gets a stack a super-duper-high-damage-but-dash-you-into-mechanics evisc
Then double rupture to apply and spread?
LUL true, now we have outlaw, poison outlaw, and purpur outlaw
It’s the burst windows does it all take place at once always? And do I bind like 9 abilities to three hot keys?
i mean you can similarly compare other things that ended up unique for one spec but are now shared
e.g. mobility of sub with double shadowstep
or the more burst oriented damage profile
Sorry I’m horribly adhd and I’m reading the guides but the guides are sometimes overly technical
or cooldown stacking ^^
Md my brain goes fuzzy
but @idle aurora rupture is sorta its own thing, u never use it during shadow dance, and only use it on things that live for 10+ seconds, don't worry about it too much
what you wanna focus on is just cd timing
opener is big tbh, super comfortable
yeah ngl the current rotation feels mostly derivative from opener lol
it is similar
Then practice cooldown windows?
just get a feel of when each thing comes up
Every guide has different macros with different amounts of abilities on them lol
oh for macros
That’s what’s confusing the hell out of me
the only one you need is cold blood + secret techniques
Ty btw ❤️
basically, symbols of death and cold blood are both just locked in to sectech
but symbols is kinda better as its own bind
Symbols macro with dance is not good?
but yeah if u just smack a dummy, backstack evisc/rupture out of dance, and replicate the shadow dance combo from opener, you'll be on your way
No, there are times when you will symbols and not dance.
smaller optimizations can come later
oh actually, how bad is it to consume the first supercharged finisher out of dance?
like dance is 10 seconds out, but sectech + symbols are already up and checking their watches VERY impatiently
I don't know the answer to that.
oh, are we allowed to @ mods or "shadowblades" for questions lol
i dont think i saw in rules :((
You're allowed to ping but they aren't the only ones that can answer questions. I know it's a bit quiet right now
but yeah basically @narrow dirge there are times where i'll send the first supercharged finisher out of dance just to get the next set of small burst rolling sooner
and then if i have dance and symbols macro'ed i pop an extra symbol charge and screw myself for the rest of the fight
Oh hey Lisonna I think I was just looking at a weak aura from you lol
Possibly
Your recommended on method
think we already strong enough good sir
i dont wanna end up like ele xDDD
Oh I am? I didn't realize that, that's cool
Yeah
Under weakaura it says search for lisonna and use any of those with like three others
but see what's more cool is that on this server u legit just get to talk to the ppl who made the recommended WAs
They are very good weakauras
Yeah it's a pretty nice place.
it's like im living among celebrities in beverly hills!
I’ve had most of my cds in one macro cuz I saw somewhere ona guide that it’s good.. oh well
nah that's a bit cursed
yea SoD is not something i would macro
Yeah icyveins has a bunch of juiced up macros. Wow head slightly less, method way less
Been raiding for the past few weeks with this jank 1 button macro ugh
1 button macro?

so you're saying I shouldn't have a shadowdance + symbols + cold blood + tea + trinkets + shadow blades + flag macro?
I knew a guy who had like a seven button cast sequence as a macro one lol
It was called opener
isn't that a palimor thing?
actually tho, can't u legit play ret like that
xD
Also, for what it's worth: I do use a macro with Dance + Symbols. It is absolutely sub-optimal, you still want both bound, and it's def ideal to play with them as independent buttons. But if don't mind, it's pretty comfy.
same tbh
I had shadow blades symbols my trinket dance all together with my pot
it's something u'll sometimes have to play around
BUT
blades HAS to be its own thing now
or at least it goes with trinket + pot
not dance
u wanna dance, build, send sectech/coup, THEN blades
So should I learn as one button
PLS NO
Or try to learn as separate
turn back, i beg you, there is still time!
Probably best not to do that, yeah. Since you ideally will be pushing them a little independently. I think Blades + Pot is okay though.
Hahahaha
I'd say try to learn them as seperate buttons, yeah.
But for the record no black powder on bar
Even though hekili had me use it 40 times in a row
lol
yeah ngl bp is just cursed for trickster
I would not recommend using hekili for Sub. It is not very good with it.
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
Ugh I think I picked death stalker lol
NOOOOO
Ok that needs to change lol
there's literally a guy named "poopstalker" in here somehwere lol
it's REALLY not fun
XD
It was alright on ST before the patch
oh yeah it was chill
But with the patch you end up needing the 10% sectech cdr from trickster for the burst window to feel good
sit back, run rotations, let hunt them down do like twice as much dmg as entire trickster tree combined
Because as deathstalker you either have to delay your symbols or have 2nd sectech not affected by supercharger
Neither of which feel particularly fun
i swear it also gets gimped in heavy movement fights too
Ok so trickster better for alignment reasons?
like when u dont get to white attack a bunch
And on any aoe deathstalker feels not great because needing to eviscerate to apply mark doesnt feel great
Despite the eviscerate being buffed enough to actually do more damage than BP at low target count, it still feels bad
doesnt look like ur focusing enough
Oddly sub rogue feels like the meele version of a fire mage now that I am thinking about it
bro did this on every try
Well fire has had a lot of variation
what even is this man
But yes sub does no damage outside of cds
raid?
yeah ovinax around P2
heroic right
yup
thank fuck
if ppl pulled those numbers and got to mythic ovinax i think i just unsub on the spot
@idle aurora but also also deathstalker feels like straight ass when you have to kill any adds
like SV totem
grim butthole 3rd boss
I've been in mythic raid pugs where the raid leader was shit on damage but like, they were actually calling lots of stuff on comms and without them doing calls we wouldn't have killed the bosses we did
Raid leading is a big decrease to DPS a lot of the time, ye
I do like, 400k less DPS when I'm leading my weekly heroics to when I'm just blasting 'cos I have to stop to type and need to constantly be watching the group.
nah the raid lead was a guy pinging eggs 
Did they just ruin the first dance?
Is it the comedy Ovi'nax where people can't count
Out of combat for 6 seconds? Wtf is that shit?
i raid lead as outlaw on p3 queen and am still top dam
idk those raid leaders just suck
It's not a talent for raid
imagine it on mist/cot
It is mostly a pvp talent
or even db tbh
it seems like a pvp thing tbh
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
It's really nice in keys.
Couldn't they just make it so when you enter stealth or shadow dance it fills your combo points? Why even change this talent
It's a pretty good talent for key / open world content. Not useful in the raid. And yes, I imagine pretty great in PvP too.
it's personal bro
they did it to spite u
trust
👍
That's just premed
with less steps
i mean the thing is they could stack lmao
imagine u enter dance and instantly get 2 finishers worth of cp for free
and then shadowcraft(if it works)
we go from 131212 to just 3222222 xD
That's a lot of ruptures.

Then change the proc condition for first dance from 6 sec out of stealth to something else, like after x finishers
nah it'd be a goated fking m+ talent if they just reduced the time a bit
like 4 seconds
and holy shit we'd be eating every other spec alive
Why keep the weird proc condition when you can make a better one
bcuz it's actually pretty natural wth the flow of m+ lol
Good for m+, what about everything else
They can keep the same exact thing, with a better proc condition
i mean the existence of a m+ specialist node isn't a cardinal sin right
so long as we had good raid/st alternatives too
Something literally not working in other content is indeed a problem
idk does IC work in raid for sin
But not every talent has to be useful in every circumstance. I think it working well in M+, and that being it, is fine.
And again, if they just change the proc condition they can achieve the same result with more versatility
Because you can use that point in something else in raid content.
does sudden demise work in raids either lol
Yeah you change your talents if your talents don’t work with the content
how about u go to sin channel and tell them blizz should delete IC and demise
xD
bcuz those dont work well in raids
tww s1 things dont change at all... i'm tired of this bullshit
xdd
ayy like this

acording to "experts" its not ok
oh yeah my sin bro was like 1.7/1.8 mil on like
3rd week of m+
but they're actually getting weaker and weaker in overall
a TEENY tiny bit at a time tho right
do you play tornado guys?
fuck no
no
i like how we have a "no dust" role here
ok cause on the fuu doc its tornado in the spec so I was wondering
and i want a "no tornado" one for myself
outlaw is busted 
what build you play kpb i was checking logs and even tho thjere is sub 15 logs they do no dmg compared to their team mates
and most i see playing nado
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yeah i think casual and kush were messing around with tornado whenever i saw them on sub
Should be pretty close either way
you mean busted as in strong
Link the clip
yes outalw is the best spec in the game
1st pull NW
not even 2mil?
teeny kpb
fallen off
washed
unfort

what is this spec bro
outlaw !
sustaining 11 mil damage on first tier, truly wholesome chungus spec
that needed buffs
Warrior op
:DDDD
im target capped !
must have been bad RNG
surely 
yeah skill issue tbh, just roll 7 buffs next time with an extra hidden buff to remove target cap
i could have rolled 7 buffs pre key but they removed that
No cap outlaw op should prob nerf more
BtE now only targets yourself
irl

god if my legion self could see outlaw now
feels fucking bad man
you should see the rest of the group
tbf it's an 11, there aint even that much dmg to do lol
are the bloodmallet sims broken?
So does eviscerate cleave?
Reading rotation again :/
Is finisher always Evisc unless rupture needs reapply?
there's no set number of ruptures u gotta cast lol
there's no point in eviscerating out of dance basically
u just use it when u got nothing worth rupturing anymore as a way to dump cp
Does rupture snapshot?
that's why u rupture lol
Holy crap
u leave it up, and it naturally starts doing more dmg whne u pop dance and symbols and stuff
but then it also goes back down
after ur dance + symbols ends
right
dynamic dmg
:0
So when you go into burst window it goes into burst window with you??
Ok that solves that problem in my head lol
Lol that was for my guild discord describing me in this discord sorry lol
ayy ez
and again rupture is just
if it lives more than 10 secons slap a rupture onto it
Yeah don’t spend a lot of brain power on “should I shadow dance or flag for rupture”
Just get a rupture out
In the ST Rotation they use Dance + Symbole - Shadow strike - Coldblood + secret Techniqe -Shadowblades
why dont we use shadowblades with dance?
I dont understand why we dont want the 20% buff from Shadowblades for our first techniqe with cold blood xD
We use it with Flag
uh im pretty sure they said
blades doesnt work for sectech
xD
Blades doesnt affect sectech
Echo in here
Ohhhh
ok
ok then it makes sense because we can use the 16 sec window for the eviserate and stuff
I don’t think it’s that much of a loss if you forget, just one GCD or so that could’ve been full combo points
y think so too i macrod the 3 cds together
but i was wondering if i missing some big crit or somethin^^
We have some wiggle room with flag and new blades now as to when to Blades
Always blades with flag
Used to play assa but wanted to swap to sub and its rly fun but i got no verse at all xD
Same, stack mastery, profit
Vers is just the least useless of the other three, lol
If it comes yay, it’s better than Haste at least
Rly? If I sim my char its the best stat
I guess crit is better now than during Invigorating Shadowdust era but Idk how much
Intradesting, I’m a noobie sub, just getting into it, maybe point for point it is better?
because you don't have any
Ahh
y true but still the highes rogues rock like 17k-20k vers
does versa buff nimble flurry cleave lol
not sure but id guess yea
vers makes you tankier 👌
y i wanna go for 17k too
cause i cant use def cds every second like assa cause of 100 energy
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
feint still vital to survive aoe tho
no gcd for feint is a big qol change
Is this real change ?
Damn I missed that, pog
oh boy
its so easy to do dmg on court as a sub
stuff lines up with amps without even trying
yeah you just wont be able to hit as many of them as you could with shadowdust, but its still quite good
yes
There's a symbol charge and sectec is ready or will be ready, but no dance. Wait for dance or send it?
are we symbols before pull?
that + the two ramped up ones in p3
hmm
the plan is to nuke the boss down
before last ramps happen
some guilds lust p2 amp
Yeah then you just gotta pick the one amp where they are stacked in p3
if you wanna skip the enrage one in p3
duel of the rogues
i wonder if they put me back on the bench
lol nice details name
where can I find the new sub apl?
its public on raidbots any time u run a sim
ty sir
Hello guys which trinkets would you recomend for raiding and m+
transmitter
why is the challenger's peril change so complicated
just nerf the affix from 15 to 10 seconds
this just makes every dungeon have 90 seconds more on the timer, and the affix is literally the exact same amount of punishing
well you essentially have 6 "free" deaths now lol
not really
that was their goal anyway
90 seconds more on the timer is the "new timer"
and then deaths are exactly the same
at least that's the way i see it
hi quick question if raiding at all is not an option, can i play sub without transmitter or do i just give up and go assa?
i mean for ~2900 m+ not anything too serious
they just wanted to nerf +7's and above and that was the way they did it
Guys, need some opinions here, how does sub feel in m+ and raid?
Just started gearing my rogue and kinda went with outlaw, but i cba im sub at heart
you can play subtlaw if you play trickster, its sub but with blade flurry
prob easier to play sin.
pretty good
in before we have to use a conquest pvp 1 min trinket
all 7's and ups got 90s added to the timer
as weird kind of way to nerf challengers peril
thats weird indeed...
Typical warrior behavior
probably a meme, but true
😉
amazing incelcore
why does everything that isn't transmitter be 2 min
!up
9/11 stares me down every day
Why is tornado 60s!!!
Poor tornado, how pain in the ass
its filler anyway. you dont wanna use it during dance
I keep trying tornado and i never come up with a time using it doesn't feel awkward af
just use it right after dance ends so you still have some stacks of FF
logs from a 13 siege sadge no sub rogues 😦
Doesn't do that for me, were you just running a bad build?
just play the build without tornado, I almost never used that button either
Precloak it, as in once youve moved into position you can press cloak
has anyone had the issue where the macro /cast Shadow Dance /cast Shadowstrike doesn't work? It gives me an error the first time i hit the hotkey that i'm not in stealth, and then if I press the key again now that i'm in shadow dance, i'll shadowstrike. Is there any better way to be able to activate shadow dance and shadowstrike in the same GCD with one key?
But id probably still recommend to use cloak during the last few seconds of the intermission to help minimize movement with blazes
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah, that's the preferred method, but healers are struggling with Queensbane dot
tell them to heal better
do you have the filter to see whos doing what healing for queensbane?
I mean using the cloak on queensbane is fine too
ye i always cloaked queensbane
regicides was always sorta whatever
press feint or something
Struggling with the new rotation. From fuu's wowhead guide I'm reading it as basically send SoD on CD and then line everything up to that? Or is there a new cadence that we should aim for? It seems like we still send a naked SoD between main CDs? The only other change that I'm seeing is that we now send SecTech in SoD even without Dance?
You do not really send symbols on cd, you want to make sure you can symbols and dice twice during blades/flag
And then its just a question of how much you do inbetween those, and i'd recommend trying to mentally anchor it around sectech cds
So whenever sectech is up you want to press it asap, and you ask yourself "if i press dance right now with the symbols, will i still have 2 for cds?" and the same with symbols
I tried explaining some examples as well, but for the most part as long as you have 2 stacks of both for flag and blades is doesnt matter a huge deal wherever you put your other ones
What's the command that shows you the gear tracks and their M+ level?
Thank you for this write up. I'll review it and practice. I seem to be 40-50k behind my target dummy sim which feels like more than just your normal discrepancy
sectech fix waiting room
RS bug is now a feature
way nicer for sure
yeah more symbols
like the small downtime between packs make it so ur almost perma in symbols
@west pond https://wago.io/nyidlKqRB FYI - Per request the Dance/Symbols charges at Flag WA. Feel free to send me feedback, right now there's no text colors yet or anything but I have pushed up the dance/symbols charges into Conditions so you can add them if you want.
The idea here is to help you determine if you should send a dance/symbols with sectec when sectec comes up, based on how many you'll have at flag.
Added it to the collections page
Also comes with my pack as is so if you use my pack you'll just get it baked in
!wa

Will this work aside from ur existing wa pack?
It doesn't require my pack, it's also included in my pack
it's a standalone, will work with or without it
I have it placed in a specific location so it's next to sectec in the pack because the decision is kind of a joint one between flag and sectec
but
you can put it wherever you want
yeah that's the risk you run in making heavy customizations
But in general my auras are as standalone as I can make them
and don't rely on or require each other
its pretty fun
hi guys, are we allowed to doom in here
we dont send naked symbols anymore right?
becuz im looking thru old dungeons for trinkets and im not seeing any 1:30 burst trinkets that aren't haste lol
we just line everythign up with sectech/big cds?
are we just never gonna have usable trinkets out of m+ lol
if they bring back court again for some reason we get this
there are a lot of 1.5 min trinkets for strength users. not a lot of 1.5 minute agi classes in general.
so maybe they make those trinkets strength/agi now who knows
just tried to sim that at 639
it simmed like shit
yeah that's sorta the problem lol
im seeing the trinkets of my ret friends
oh right 1.5 min
transmitter fucks
no main stat so..
no i just remembered u said 1.5 min trinkets
i forgot to look through shit for that
lol
well also
i had a vault whetstone back then
it simmed lower than a fking darkmoon deck trinket lmao
please bring back crafted darkmoon trinkets tbh
alchemist stone asssssss
huh how so
trinkets are tuned to be about the same power.
if the trinket has stats attached to it
and an on use, the on use will be weaker
ohhhh i see
but if it has no stats attached, the on use will compenstate and be very strong
whichis what we want
yup
but then this one's on use...idk
i think we can only use things that scale our kit right
not things that do its own damage unless it's some insane shit like mandate?
depends
generally, we really want on use stat trinkets (like transmitter)
somtimes, there are strong stat sticks that could be okay. but other times, we dont mind damage proc trinkets (like the ones we use now : mandate/contract)
dang im having some energy issues
this one from sm i guess
outside of cds im having to wait like 4 seconds between abilities
is it supposed to be this shit?
yes
how is that fun?
!design
Subtlety is designed to be a spec with highs and lows. During your cooldowns you do immense burst and have plenty of buttons to spam but conversely outside of symbols and dance you do not do any damage whatsoever. This means that having some periods of "afk" downtime where you do not press a button because you're out of energy is the intended way the spec plays. As long as its not happening inside your cooldowns (flag/blades/dance/symbols) its not a problem at all, and especially nothing that having more haste would "fix".
why is it this bad though?
Because contrast
^
idk, 639 contract is getting outsimmed by 639 spyglass for me lmao
other burst specs dont have it this bad
the worse u feel outside, the better u can feel inside
and they dont burst as hard
its very unfun having to sit there and watch your character auto attack
not true
okay
dh bursts harder lol
would u ban me if i make a "that's what she said" joke for that
No
no it doesnt

making energy matter is interesting, instead of having another spec that just doesnt have an acutal resource
ok they def do at least in aoe
but yeah just sitting there for an entire 40 seconds is rough
theres no working around that?
Huh?
Well ye our main cd blades doesnt work on aoe 
uhhhhhhhh
LMFAO
fair
nimble flurry things
if blades worked with sectech or nimble
But no, you have downtime where you dont do much
you would notice it in aoe
is it by design
Thats the intentional design of the spec 
No
are we sure about that?
at some poing a bug is just a feature
if it stays long enough
bro it's nice to have downtime where u can spread some ruptures and do some mechanics without feeling like u just lost out on dmg lol
not every spec needs to be 100% uptime damage damage damage blast blast blast resources arent real
Thats true, but if you were to ask them if they think blades should buff sectech i cant imagine them having any explanation as to why it shouldnt

i know why eleem
by that logic nimble is rogue damage and should count
shadow blades empoweres your WEAPONS
and sec tech does clone shenanigans
cloens arent weapons
checkmate
isn't it literally just a bug lol
no way i could have a build with vigor and maybe tea?
drop cb
where they can't get our buffs to buff pets
that kinda ruins the sec tech damage tho right?
You drop soothing darkness to pick up tea as well
and obviously soothing darkness
oh yeah lmao
that shits ass
ty guys
should make the gameplay more fun
as i wont be sitting still doing nothing as much
cause it was feeling worse than assa pooling
Yeah, taking vigor and tea to get more backstabs outside of CDs definitely will make it feel better 
yea
ngl tho i kinda hate how cd doesn't perfectly line up with sectech
I mean, it is. You don't have to play every single second to do good damage. There's times just resting and waiting is a perfectly fine playstyle.
not about performance
its about it feeling boring
just felt unfun sitting there
especially when the highs are so high
when youre in burst
I maen, you can't expect to have high highs and high lows.
The highs are high and the lows are low
yeah i gotta be real, vigor doesn't exactly help us
i mean theres a way to make the lows better
when we do half of a tank's dps during downtime
just for less of the out of energy moments
like yes u could be hittng buttons more, but then u look at the dmg chart
and ur like
oh
cause those really annoy me
im perma sitting 90 apm
shrug, the expected draughts of sub make it interesting compared to sin and outlaw
but im doing no dmg
droughts
0 rewards for my play
u have so much energy compared to sub as sin
yes but you spend it fast af
I'm playing sin right now and the gameplay is so ass i'm considering swapping to sub
sub's droughts are mostly waiting for cds
I don't know if i'm going to hate my life even more
You can also low roll and get like triple 1CP FoKs, so...
since u can blast as soon as u dance symbols
but ur just waiting to be able to do that
fr?
i think ass feels fun
the abilities have a satisfying feel to them
Sin always has been the spec i hate to play the most
The periods of no dance/symbols could definite be shorter than 30 seconds for sure
when it already has garrote
But i like the contrast of doing no damage outside cds
and like 74 different talent nodes buffing garrote from stealth
yeh mb
yup
Honestly i just love pressing buttons and outlaw is fun af to me
and it's a little stressful tbh
i play all 3, theyre all fun now
dropping AR
sub was meh before this patch in keys
yeah it feels good now
i didnt mind sub in raid
not sure what fixed it
symbols did
as well as just a lot more cp in general
supercharger, coup bugfix, more cp with symbols
but also we just straight up do 6% more damage lmao
Supercharger+Rotten means ripping fat SecTechs 
cause you never flag without sb
?????????/
what?
nah u got baited by the other guy
rotten doesnt make sectech fat lol
you!
Rotten cause guaranteed 7CP off Shadowstrikes is why
Not that it buffs SecTech
Premed/Rotten makes Dance feel real good
pre-.5 you'd sometimes have to double Strike before you could finish in Dance

Felt very bad
It does not
Its just crit and damage nowadays
that's like legion legendary old lmao
or idk
some wayyyy old stuff
Does crit no longer double CP gains?
What patch were you thinking of? The one with seal fate for everyone?
not afaik for sub
Wait that was part of Seal Fate? ...that explains a lot
I knew Storm CP crits was linked to that
Nah Seal Fate was a talent where CP would get doubled if you crit
It existed before the S2 rework in DFlight

AoE was just Storm>Black Powder alternating since Storm was like 7 CP instantly lol
Yeah, that was a Seal Fate thing. Not a sub thing.
Whelp, placebo effect 
I feel like Ive rarely had double Strike sequences occur in Dances since patch
Hello, so pins were saying that death stalker is only slightly better because of the dm bug? So we play trickster for single Target then
yes sir
trickster the goat
Yeah it might be cause I had no hero? It seems to be working a little better now that I got past 70
Yes it's almost definitely that. Most APLs are written with hero talent checks for pretty much everything.
Since TWW, a lot of specs are extra fucked for levelling with the addon now.
yeah its so fun
especially after i swapped to a tea setup, does respectable damage with the small sec tech bursts without flag and sb too
nice to know you wont be doing tank damage in pulls without cds
I put it into dance
And have it bound just in case I need it by itself
Tbh now that it auto procs when you’re low, you’ll rarely ever press it by itself
i had a ranged player tonight on ky'veza prog "hey, just dodge the lines"
dudes in the back doing the 2step
im fighting for my life
Heya! I'm unsure about the usage of symbols / dance:
- With Inevitability, symbols last longer than dance. During opener / flag, do I refresh dance first, then symbols and then I'll have naked symbols in the end for a bit?
- Similar: There's a symbol charge and sectec is ready or will be ready, but no dance. Wait for dance or send it?
Hi guys, does Crit suck for sub?
it's ok, better than haste but worse than vers+mast
Thanks
It's a pain in the ass to play gear for the different rogue specs
I like them all tbh and was looking for any overlap to switch between with the gear
But it's hella tough with the stats each spec prefers
Sin and Outlaw love Crit but it's not that good for Sub
Sub and Outlaw love vers but it's super bad for sin
Sub and Sin love mastery but it sucks for Outlaw
Sin and Outlaw (to a certain point) like haste but it sucks for Sub
yeah that's always an issue trying to play 3 different specs
the thing is you usually only need to swap out a few pieces to make up the stats to play the other specs to a tolerable level
you don't need super min maxed stats to play a spec to almost it's full potential
like swapping out rings and neck is a very easy way to reallocate your stat budget
i'm guessing you drop CB for tea
oh
other than maybe ulgrax is it just me or is assassination beating sub on almost every fight?
I beat assa idk bout you 
just feeling like if i want to be optimal ill need to continue regearing assass and put sub into storage for now i enjoy both specs so im struggling to find a reason to play sub
i see 1 sub rogue on the leaderboard for M+ playing that build
the last time i tried it out in DF you start wanting more crit with that build
since you don't have CB
tyvm
True
- Yeah, you'll just have a naked symbols at the end
- Just send. Sometimes, you won't have a dance and/SoD with your ST
The problem is mainly the limited crests in 1 character
But I wanna get full BiS set for 2 specs at least before the end of season
anyone got a first dance weakaura
you can create a template in less than 20 secs
you give me too much credit
teach a man to fish... and they won't ask for WeakAuras.
ok i just watched the rank 1 mists key
and enhance is illegal right now
1 phasing the 1st boss is just ludicrous
on a 17 mists
tuning is a slot mashine currently
i haven't see this many outliners and classes kept op for a long time
i understand that it creates more positivity especially within the specs that are op
subtlety is in a better position than 11.0.2
so not that much to complain about
i ran a few sub keys today (only 10s) and it feels pretty nice!
i did a LOT of damage on the 2nd boss of CoT
i think BP could need another buff
that felt so good as sub
another 30% maybe?
i feel like tuning for sub is really complicated now
buff secret
at least for aoe
i agree, ST should get a buff
would probably buff trickster more than ds
it's at least starting to actually do damage in keys now
but tbh thats good because deathstalker gameplay is not good
it's way higher in overall
i also agree with that, i really dislike playing DS
i think you would do more damage even without dust gone
supercharger is in general just very good for sub
the ability to sectec on it's cd is really good
what do you think about running tea vs CB
i might actually sim that right now
Are we running first dance in mythic/ by chance? If so, what do we drop?
WM
WM?
weaponmaster
possible
Ah
it's close to TFD
i think the downside is we're early in the expac so getting enough crit to compensate isn't easy
its more
you can get a big crit guaranteed on a flagellation empowered secret
so technically, at least for trickster
delaying your first cold blood cast for the 2nd secret is better
oh i see
