any reason that even in when sub is meta theres so few ppl playing it
random thoughts
Ideas that have been thrown around is unintuitive gameplay, lack of cool animation as well as just having a reputation for being hard puts a lot of people off
aint sub like the easiest rogue spec after dust removal
and cd align
im no expert thought it just seems to be for me
in my opinion i just think assa rogue is just too easy / strong right now
so ppl just go assa instead of putting time to learn sub
just guessing
Now instead of moving flag+blades around you can move dances+symbols around
Its also way easier to fuck yourself over and not have 2 dances for cds now
And thats really bad to do
i feel like even if i have 1 symbols by flag, i still get second one 2-3 seconds afterwards
is it really that bad?
same for dances
Well you dont need both up exactly when you cast flag
But you want to use it to reduce the cd of sectech from 10s to 0
And then have the second charger hit sectech
sub/outlaw is kinda bad for me . cause it really feels bad to play with high ping imo
thats true
coup almost killed me here
i hope they remove the dash feature tho
this is not the first time that i almost got killed because of it
Pfft not even close. Worse case step back.
How long did you take to get to queen?
Our guild plays 6 hrs per week and now on ovinax 10%
has already griefed me lmao
was sub unpopular even before shadow dust?
it’s only popular when broken damage
Or assa complete trash damage.
Otherwise playrate abysmal after shuriken combo destruction.
This is first time that the spec has been in a good spot, but seeing play numbers still super low. Assa just has a foot hold on everything pve right now.

First platform
If you do on the second you will not have your cooldown up for when p3 starts
i think back in df s1 sub was played, not ret levels of popular but still not bfa/current levels
On the guardian
that was when we were actually easy for once lmao
Ye
I always made sure to have enough cp for rupture when i get knocked so i can immediately go step>flag>rupture once i land (and midair i used my transmitter angled so that if it spawns the circle it spawns near where the mobs will be tanked)
But it depends on if your group is planning to use 2 portals there or no, we usually killed right after the grip, aka right after my second sectech hits
wait so with symbols on single are we doing first, second at 3 sec pandemic, then do we keep going with the 3rd charge? or hold that one for next dance
it depends on your sectech cd
you just send your 3rd dance/symbols as soon as you can fit sectech in that dance
i played sub on ovinax today and it actually felt p fucking good ngl
man madness of the betrayer
is just straight fucking worthless
huh
im guessing blizz took care to make sure that none of the heroic TW stuff would be bis
so ppl wouldn't have to try to rng into it
yes
Ye sub is strong, its just assa being borderline broken on that fight
So lots of people will pivot to it over sub, despite sub also being strong there
ye, queen is dead so im just sending sub on farm now
supercharger kinda made me hate assa ngl compared to sub
as a m+ only andy i don't feel like sin is "borderline" broken lmao
more like cracked out of its mind
chad thundercock dps
the first 3 worm spawn is a bit scuffed for sub aswell, cds come up when everything is dead but oh well
how do U deal with TFD
Cuz sectec comes up RIGHT as ur dance is gonna end
Do U just wait on the dance to end before sectec
or do U push both sectec in the window
Yeah I'd love to play sub on ovinax but sin is just giga
Did 3.4mil on that boss before wiping at 6%
Cant be beat
Any cap on sec tec for targets?
What should I be simming for aoe?
Like target count and duration
sectech is soft capped
and the cap is 1 target
xDDDDD
"reduced dmg to all secondary targets"
becuz fuck us
It increases rupture's damage too, it's not just the cleave
ye true i guess i still just associate with a 2 target talent
It also hurts your damage cause the bug 
Only a 10 dawnbreaker but I love how this spec plays.
do we still backstab during dance+shadow-blade window? for the danse macabre stack? It would waste 1 stack of the rotten buff though (approx. 1mil dmg diff on my character)
We don’t. No
plus 10 keys are so rough lol
played a +10 with another 630 ilvl lock earlier tonight
we ended up denying each other's dmg pads xD
Yeah just gotta hope you outburst everyone in low keys 
Is it still recommended to use evis as first finisher in dance if coup is up? Fells like a lot of cdr wasted on sectec
no
sectec first
though
Often you can uh
like, if sectec has 10 sec on cd left
you can start your dance, strike evis, strike sectec
just start your dance / symbols early so you don't waste the CDR, and stillget the coup buff
it's pretty dynamic
sounds reasonable and what i thought/did aswell, just wanted to make sure. ty!
How do you guys handle transmitter? On the wowhead guide it's says to use it with SD and SoD. Seems pretty piano playing to me
Just got it y-day in the vault, having a hard time using it so far
you'll get used to it
So we use it with flag and not SD/SoD
you can macro it to flag
then when you press it, you have time to activate it before your secrte cast
there is enough time to finish the task between that
i feel like im doing something fundamentally wrong, second cd window seems like im sending symbols for secret tech or holding it which means tech stays off cd way too long
is there a guide specifically for coup de grace like timing windows seem very unintuitive
you just ignore coup
just use secret first in dance
a good way to think about the rotaiton is to put secret at the center
secret techniques cd is your main limiting factor
so you put cooldowns around secret technique
during flag you want 2x secret, 2x dance, 2x symbols
so you hold your cd's closer to them comming up
outside of this, you can use symbols/dance when secret is ~8 sec left on cooldown
which would also move secret as 2nd finisher in dance
during flag, you want to secret first in dance to get the cdr on it rolling and dance back to back
alright that makes a lot more sense thank you
do we still should wait a few globals between dance 1 and dance 2 in flag or its okay to do it back to back?
i try to fire second one when sec tec cd is under 15 seconds or so
it's kind of funny how what we base the entire rotation around keeps changing
during SL it was symbols
then starting DF it was dance
then after the rework it was so many different things it broke people's brains
and then it went back to symbols
ya my brain is fully broken
and now it's around sec tec
we dance back to back, blades is only 16 sec, so you don't have that much time to "wait"
was still symbols in DF
ah i guess so
i vaguely remember it being press on cd
Best naked symbols is next one after cd's?
it seems like a decade ago
naked sysmbols shouldn't happen much
if you need to send naked
closer to blades/flag comming up
it's less so of planning to send a naked symbols
it's just when you see how many charges you have/sectec off cd/cds are far away from being used/dance is on cd
doesnt having 3 stacks of it make that like never a thing
depends on dance cdr
the biggest thing gating sub's damage right now seems to be dance cdr
Weird place to find sheffield united fans
i swear every time i post something in a public discord someone says this
Its just very unexpected in a football world with PL and top clubs. But i assume ur a sheffield native
I’m an lfc fan, yesyes big club etc. But its been my fav team since 2001 or something. I had a soft spot for Chris Wilder and Sheffield during their innovative PL days with overlapping center halves
Which also why Baldocks passing felt way more than it probably should have!
was a huge shame that, on his kids birthday too..
death grip > iron wire

Damn, didnt know that..
I got a hero track Scarbrood, is it worth using over the AByssal Trap?
you can sim both trinkets are kinda bad for sub
abyssal trap is more of an aoe trink too
Do we send 3rd dance right away after opener?
Didn't expect to see this lol
Newcastle ftw
!up
Bigup Newcatle, not from there but my parents live nearby now and friendliest ppl i've ever met
Abyssal does like 50+mil dmg a dungeon, basically does the same as my 626 voidreapers contract
if you didnt know abyssal is uncapped it can shine on some dungeons
usually our best m+ trinkets are ovi nax or knife tho
apart from transmitter
i do like mandate it adds a strong execute and you can snipe things too
Yeah I've really enjoyed trap actually, 1min CD feels really nice in the 10s im doing
so technically it does less than void reapers because they both have main stat
and voidreapers has more main stat
perfectly balanced in all things.
did you get it yet ?
Get what? most things go over my head.
ur transmitter

Im asking in case i wanna swap to sub trust
1% haste is too high
Good ol Dragonflight haste
Perfect
give us the windwalker treatmeant
Right now i can play sub
Fr tho i just have mast and crit stacked which i guess is ok for sub?
not good but ok i guess?
It's fine. probably not as good as Vers/mast
these are mine atm:
Too much crit, not enough versa. too lazy to recraft 3 items to versa/mast.
Ye probably fine. Also high5 same trinkets.
I don't think statting is that important this season. Like, just get a ton of mastery and ideally versatility and blast. Versa pot, etc. And yeah, transmitter. Cursed to never get it.
Nice
Is it okay to macro Shadow Dance with SoD ?
You can, but it's suboptimal to do so and you absolutely want both buttons your bars regardless. I personally do (Dance + SoD, then a separate just SoD button) and I don't have a huge issue with it, but I don't mind being suboptimal for a bit of comfort.
I don't mind it either, whats the usual timing for the standalone SoD which we use with SecTech I assume ?
Is it like Opener Burst with Flag + SB and 2 back to back SD+SoD then standalone SoD+SecTech ?
Bruh I’m trying to figure out a rotation but all the guides seem to say the same but different things lol anyone have a for a dummies version I could work off of
I recommend the WoWhead guide. It's very in-depth and solid.
But which bit are you struggling with? Might be able to point you in the right direction.
maintain rupture outside of dance use backstab/strike to build eviscerate to spend, use sectec on cooldown
(this is the tricky part) when you use sectec (or when you are about to use sectec) you need to look ahead and plan if you will use dance, symbols, both, or neither with sectec, based on the cd/charges remaining of each. You want to have 2 charges of dance/sod by the time you press your first sectec during cooldowns. A simple rule of thumb to get started with is: If Flag has 30 seconds left, do not use dance/sod with sectec, otherwise do. Once flag has less than 20 seconds left, don't even use sectec and wait until flag is rolling.
Opener/cd sequence: https://discord.com/channels/124169701881282560/1271971289396936735 and in picture.
that's the quick version, wowhead guide is updated as well and good, like Gestalt said, hope this helps 
you'll find as you play that that rule of thumb isn't perfect but it's a simple way to get started with getting your feet wet in the spec
Thanks bro I’ve been kinda following the method guide since it has more of a list than a “if x then y”
I think it’s also aoe and my understanding of what I’m doing like I’m trying to just flood with energy/points to get as many evis as possible until the cds line up?
yeah.
Aoe is: spread ruptures if targets will live. Builders:
- strike in dance
- storm if you have nimble flurry up
- backstab if you don't have nimble up (because you want to get flurry up as soon as possible)
spend on evis, rules about sectec are all still the same as before
Aoe is basically the same really as st
it's just you are getting more points from storm so more cdr
and you need to follow that builder prio to make sure you have flurry up
still eviscerate as finisher, until like ~12 targets (i think) then black powder
Ah ok I think I was over prioritizing powder
Yeah you wanna have 2 dances for incoming flag timing so sometimes you get to naked symbol + sectec.
You also can press symbol alone during burst in pandemic range (3sec or less on curent symbol)
Only time I press powder is when I'm not in range for evis tbf
It's really a vibe I really enjoy that ST/aoe build are basically identical with only 1-2 points moved around, and those points aren't vital for aoe, they're just slight optimizations, so if you don't swap build you're like totally fine
I always have this angst when I play assa and we kill a raid boss that "oh, I'm in my ST spec and trash is going to feel awful and boring unless I respec, then respec back after trash, ugh"
but for sub it's literally just go
all the time
don't have to worry about that at all, you're powerful no matter what
aoe build in st? st build in aoe? all good
Yeah I only mention BP for completeness, but I rarely, if ever, use it, I'm not counting mobs, it's just when there are absolutely enormous pulls and I'm like "wowza that's a lot of mobs so i guess I'll powder now
"
I feel u
TIME TO PAD
I’m digging the class tho just working through open world stuff getting muscle memory down but it’s sick lol
It feels good
They did us good in 11.0.5
well
bugs aside
bugs are still bad but that's an everyone problem
It’s wild with mobility too which is great for my need to not be slow lol
how many mobs is first pull of nw? only pull ive ever pressed bp lol
depends on how hard you go
if tank grabs shield you can pull like 4 packs into boss
and just shield first zolramus while you kill it and cleave boss
get me queen ring, stat!
Haha, that haste, zooming
Oh yeah, the neck is loaded.
i have 2 rings saved to do a super mastery meme time but i cant until i craft engi helmet next week
I love that the boe items have verse crit mastery
last time i tried i got to 25k mastery
so the access that I have to myth track is all the right sub stats 
i think i can go EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
was able to snag a myth belt with socket for like 600k
Hell yeah
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i only bough ring and shoulder with leech
by belt already had avo and i swim in sockets so i socketed it
the one from ulgrax
I forgot I looted the Bloodtwister helm on heroic a few weeks back and shoved it in my vault. Finally got heroic gloves, so swapped my tier helm to it.
i also have 1 saved for engi helmet
yeah I am now done with sockets, I have one spare socket for myth track helm when I get it and then I am fully socketed for the season
I'm still hoping for a Queen ring, but at least once 11.0.7 rolls around it'll matter less, probably.
Hell yeah
truely blessed
I've got a hero track Nerubian Signet so I'm set on one ring unless I get the Myth version from vault.
I think I'm 100% done on hero track stuff, nothing left to get, unless I care to get a better m+ trinket, have contract + transmitter now
I need to grind 180 gilded to take my wrists and neck to 636..
It honestly doesn't take TOO long to get 90 on reset since you can get 30 / 45 from the raid very quickly on heroic (Depending on if you do queen or not)
ngl hard to pull myself into playing when I could be posting auctions, when I step away to do content, I'm not posting or processing crafts...

Even when I've found I do have the time to do a key
I start sweating when I leave town
I'll be happy if I hit 630+ before the end of S1, I think.
Probably be a solid ilevel for AotC Week 1/2 in S2.
You dont raid mythic right?
what do ilvls look like in s2? i havent playe second season of an xpac in a decade
No clue yet!
is normal s2 gear equiv of mythic s1 gear, or is there some overlap?
i mean typically in the past
Nah. I should start pugging the first two/four but I am quite lazy right now.
It was changed last expac
Tends to be higher. It varies and I don't know if they'll end up doing the DF S2 -> S3 jump, or the S1 -> S2 jump.
okay gotcha, what was the s2-s3 jump vs s1-s2 jump for df?
the jump goes super harder now
It's been a minute but S1 -> S2 was something like Mythic S1 gear was close to capped Heroic S2 gear? it wasn't a big jump and you were pretty high ilevel going into S2. Whereas in S2 -> S3, it was gigantic. Something like 30 - 40 iLevels?
used to be mythic ilvl s1 was normal s2
but now it was mythic s1 is lfr s2
and also M gear being 13 higher than hero
instead of 6
ah okay gotcha
We'll have to see but I personally prefer the small leaps but the whole loot situation in TWW is pretty fucked.
it will be kinda fucked as hero talents get nothing cool
You mean 15/30?
Champion (Normal) and Hero (Heroic) gear effectively caps at the same point of 619. 623 and 626 need gilded crests. And then Myth (Mythic gear) goes up to 639.
Nope! 15 + 15 (+15 from converting 90 hero crests)
i feel like larger leaps make it a bit more easily accesible if i want to change classes though right? doesnt feel as bad if i'm not 630 since everyone is behind and replacing stuff with normal/rf pieces anyways
Oh right
Personally im a fan of it
Means I can stretch my play over months instead of weeks
Especially since I don't play as much
I think it just needs one or two small tweaks (Namely letting you take Hero gear to 626 with Hero crests, which solves a few problems)
Id say just 623 so you're not literally wasting a mythic crest by upgrading instead of getting a mythic drop
A single step above normal is a bit weird, though. Which is why 626 is probably better. You want there to be some identity between the difficulties with some power overlap.
It also returns Myth to 4 steps, which means crafted can be 60 instead of 90 crests (and also less crests to 4/4 a Myth piece, which means less brainless grinding, etc)
My feeling is it just needs a few tweaks to smooth it out. Because right now it's great to 619 then a gigantic wall built on RNG and tedium. Small tweaks massively smooth it out to an incline.
Thats the exact reason I dont want 626 though. Cant stand seeing mfs in my M+ groups at my ilvl doing 30% less damage than me
Ilvl turns into as much of an identifier at higher keys
Those are the people i end up doing the crest grinds with somehow 😦
Getting to 623 reduces the number of crests you need by a significant amount already
You'd all be where I am now as I literally didn't upgrade anything past 619 til I was already done crafting knowing itd be wasting a crest if I wanted to replace
You'd still be doing crest grinds with those people, except it'd be marginally better. More gear accessibility is a way to fix that, not less. Which is why making it 626 smooths it out more. Higher iLevel, easier access to gear, smoother progression. It creates less friction, more people engaging with content, healthier groups, etc.
People who only engage with Heroic won't feel they have to engage with Mythic+ content as much to finish off their Hero peices, either.
they wanted crafting to play less of a role in gearing
Ye but if you dont have anything to upgrade with your crests its fine
thats why upgrading is 60 crests while crafting 90
basically a technique to make the gearing process longer
Upgrading is 75 though from 623, which most myth items youll get are
so people feel excited for upgrades more
good point thats 5 crests less then
Idk i feel like its fine to have crafting be slightly less efficient since its so deterministic
i don't think its bad
the entire upgrade and gearing system just became slower
which is what the dev team wanted, if thats what you as a player want or not is secondary and opinions differ
we as player typically like more deterministic loot with quick upgrades
but crafting isn't super exciting as a content for gearing
i wouldn't be surprised if they get rid of it in the next xpac
I think the point of crafting being more, but deterministic is a good one. Although I feel it being lower iLevel and more crests is a bit silly. One or the other? But ultimately i can't fault the crafting system as it's just plain good for the game. Deterministic loot is good.
Its 60 to 636
ye
I'm dying on my hill of "Just make 626 be Hero and that'd solve everything I can currently think of" though.
Yeah
hero track is in a weird spot
Hero track is worthless
because most people upgrade to 619
and thats it
can aswell use champion stuff
Ye champion shouldnt stop at the same point as you need gilded crests
Hero should prob be upto 623 and champion stop at 616 or something
Maybe, yeah. I just don't see the harm in doing the full 626 on hero and then having Myth be 4/4 though.
So you dont feel like "wasting" your myth crests on a 619>623 upgrade
I mena
the gap is still 7 ilvl
from 616 to 623
you just made the gap bigger to mythic
I meant as in you could upgrade your hero items to 623 with runed
Oh yeah
And then only the 623>626 is myth
only heroic shit you're spending mythic crests on is BiS trinkets that you can't kill the boss on mythic yet
The fact that you can "waste" crests is bad imo
I mean Runed crests are useless as soon as you ahve 619 on your main
You save so many crests
on alts after that
Obviously getting a drop from the later bosses is gonna waste your crests but thats less of an issue than the hero track upgrade to 623 just 100% wasting it
This would also fit a lot better with the way they've set up gilded on heroic, too, thinking about it.
and im so gilded crest starved
ye
Everybody is
Make a timed M+ drop 15 crests plz.
I don't have a strong argument as to why it would be better outside of "I want it to be that way"
hahah
Backstreet looking aahh
If you think about it
8 runs for your vault
hello, can anyone explain pls, how to make set items scaleable for pvp with heraldies? i got that u can craft algari item and then convert it into set piece. But if i already have set piece and it is not pvp scaleable, how to make it?
are 96 crests
Ye
making the last vault choice for m+ 6dungeons
Like, one run being an upgrade just feels better too.
Can someone explain why in ST at least in logs people are sending sectech as first global in dance i understood that with shadowdust but now is it because of the tier set ?
if you're playing trickster that is
Because otherwise you wont fit two into your bursts now that blades is shorter
Or have it be the last second, and thus you wont be able to use your 4p efficiently
ah, makes sense thanks
and fuck that depleted give less crests
AND FUCKIGN DELETED VALORSTONES 
Yeah. Like, I dunno. Maybe just completion should give it. No real loss for depeletion
Would reduce friction because you know, much like vautl, that just finsihing is still worth the effort.
Reducing friction between players and making content more accessible is just good imo. Like, you want some friction, but it shouldn't be between players created by systems that punish failure like how M+ does. Run the content because you enjoy it, not because you need to run it to do the stuff you wanna do.
I can't recall if it was in here, or another discord but someone broguht up the idea of just removing depeletion entirely. If you don't time it, you just get to do the key again. It can only go up, not down.
tank decides to pull everything to the first miniboss (because he saw it on yt and thinks he is cool doing so) and people leave instant
and the person with ara kara 10 has a 9
i do like the idea of no loot upgrades above heroic
and now its useless
So heroic is where ilevel just stops or?
so mythic is not driven by loot
Less player play Mythic than
but by cosmetics, titles and the challange
Oh, yeah, agreed.
Heavily disagree
you now have farily diffrent levels of geared people in mythic even
Yeah i know
What if you get a cool hat that gets more flowers on it every boss you kill on mythic.
having gear cap out earlier makes it more even field
so more people can participate
if they don't just because of gear, they never cared about mythic in the first place
Thats cope imo
I absolutely agree with the idea of makign Heroic be the gearing cutoff, I think it'd do a lot for the game but It's probably something they don't need to do if they fix areas elsewhere first.
The cap should double as the weeks go on
Getting only 90 crests when you have 8 pieces of gear to upgrade each week is lame
if you reduce the gear barrire, it in the end means more people can participate
i think it will make mythic less appealing and they pprolly will put less effort in it
because people star tot lose interest
Maybe. I tend to agree with Fuu on this though.
even if it means, people who ONLY paly mythic for gear
would lose their drive to do it
but this solves a diffrent issue
But I think you can achieve the precise same result with a few small tweaks elsewhere.
you can make a progress system for mythic rewards
Smoothing out the 623/626 bit. Making Delve 11 give Myth vault. Making M+ 1/3/6, 15 crests per and making it so there's no penalty for failing to time. Small tweaks that'd smooooooth it out massively.
i don't think gear is a prestige anymore
it was when the game had no transmog
and you could see a mythic gear set in the central hubs
which also had more players, you currently rarely see individuals
It's incredibly arbitary a lot of the time, too. Like my lack of transmitter. I've killed Ky'veza on N/H every week the raid has been out and I have yet to get it. Like. What preistge is that? What benefit? Just arbitary RNG.
i think maps should drop more frequently
will still ahve this problem
maps give delves a exteneded lifetime
First four bountiful's of the week or something. I agree though.
Like you would still have to be lucky to get transmitter on N/H
current delve design is too short lived
you either do it for vault slots
or compeltely ignroe it after first week
Absolutely, but my point is that gear isn't fun. it's tedium, it's boring. I'm more interested in cool outfits than this stupid trinket that's completely arbitary if I ever get it.
but Myth track is more rar
not rly
If I see another Rogue with one, I don't go "Ah, that's rad they did that" i go "Well they got lucky"
You can get hero track from everywhere
It just feels bad to solo as rogue without ignoring everything
Imo
Yes i know
makes normal loot = hero loot
Yeah.
so its not that hero loot is everywhere, normal loot is
its nothing special
i like the gearing system
you can freely use gilded
and normal loot tops out at the same point as hero due to the crest problematic
so hero loot lost all its value
Ye. A good point on that it isn't Hero loot, it's just Normal loot since it caps at 619. And we circle back to the whole issue of Myth being 20 ilevels for no real reason. It doesn't feel good and it stagnates power progression for the majority of the playerbase (I.e., more casual players)
I just like seeing my charcter getting stronger and better with killing more mythic bosses
it feels like progression
when mythic doesnt drop gear
it feels like Stagnation
A good point, yeah. You would end up pretty static if you were cutting edge.
Or, no, not even CE more just proggigng Mythic on the mid-to-upper end.
Like what incentive
does a guild not be able to clear mythic have
with no gear
in mythic
Actually, now I think about it: There's another issue.
Gear is a way to make Mythic more accesisble over time as content becomes easier as you become more powerful.
If you had it cap at Heroic, it'd be flat.
Ye
I think it'd be better to solve it through small tweaks to make crests and content rewarding them easier, making myth gear more accessible, etc.
Lift everybody up a bit.
Make +12
drop myth track
Because its such a big wall to make 12 work
maybe even 13
That'd be fascinating and something i'd love to see them try.
BUT
I'd like to see Delve 11 award vault Myth too.
we already heavily rely on:
- classes getting buffed
- bosses getting nerfed
- the weekly ramp up from the % damage/healing
content already get easier
Fair point, but I still think Tiramil has a good argument on how it feels to get the gear and power up to fight bosses with that gear.
And you'd lose that, which would have a pretty distinct impact.
and most importantly
he wants bosses to get easier
yes, diffrent goals
Yeah.
Like Kyveza
You still have to play good
Gear doesnt change shit their
But you make it 10 seconds shorter
with more gear
(except you play 4 heal on kyveza)
gear unlocks easier strategies, allows for more mistakes, shorts fight lenghs
all thinks that make content easier
you can try doing mythic with a 619 group
vs. a 631 group
the diffrence is big
Yeah ofc it makes a difference
but on many bosses not a significant
Like on Ovinax
it really has a big impact
Because not playing eggs
makes it a lot easier
doing 20% more damage
means you need to play 20% less of the fight
But on Silken Court?
can also often skip mechanics
Prolly doesn matter
The différence is mostly on higher hp pool and healing output than dmg when u compare ilvl in raiding to me
Gear will always make a huge difference on fights
True
Doesn't matter what the fight is
^
Censi qt with based take
you don't want your char to be better
in isolation to content
the only reason you want your char to get better is to make content easier
else you could scale content difficulty with item level
But thats also due to 4,5% buff
thats not only due to gear
dont forget that
Scaling content with ilvl
why do i farm gear
when it doesnt matter
It doesnt
it does
If we played it clean we could ve killed ovinax early p3 also. But that just droppibg triple tank + raid bonus dmg buff + healers doing dmg cuz they heal mort efficiently and they dont have to spam heal like they did With 15 less ilvl
because everything gets stronger aswell
So there is not difference
Mog farming
i mean you basically prove my point
Stranglethorn fishing
you want content to be easier
and its a perfectly fine reason to want gear progresison to passively nerf content
Why would you need mog, when you are already cute
Im not cute anymore im à hecking gnome
But gnome's have great facial hair power
I hâte blizzard for doing tindral v2
Im glad you didnt ask me "would you still love me when i was a gnome"
i missread
i thought you hack on gnome
Lol
(gnome is a DE for linux)
haha
would have been a weird flex tho
what about mecha gnomes?
Its worse
I would love censi when he was a worm
No boots no gloves mog
but not when he was a mechagnome
terrible
think a worm is a improvement over mecha gnomes
Ye
LOL
mechaworm?
We stop right here
Imma say it. I hate sub cuz it feels like relearning à New spec every 2 tiers. We had s1 s2 sl, s3 s4 sl, pre dust sub, dust sub, and now post dust
Im lost
mecha sethrakk
harder content dropping better gear is in the wow constitution
Kinda the same boat I'm in. I also don't like the concept of sending a dry symbols
gear is one of the core pilars of gameplay
its weird because grinding is what excites a lot of people
even if its the most soulless/boring content
because it gives you a slow power prorgession path, you can help your team and yourself to prorgess
I think they should make the core gameplay around riddles like the anniversary
then I can become a CE raider
Bruh I only send the wettest symbols
if you really boil it down mmorpg is really just about the grind and the community
i forgot when the 20 year stream is
I think the only cutting edge I have is Emerald Nightmare lmao
because I stopped playing when my guild pushed ahead into consistently clearing CE
I have a couple. My guild's sylvanas kill was literal days before it went away
I have 0, haha
0 CE chad reporting in
My effort in raiding extends to Week 1/2 AotC and no further, haha
Yeah same, I thought it was this week..
13 nov
Aha
Join us 13 November at 18:00 GMT for a special presentation celebrating 30 years of Warcraft and a look ahead at what’s next.
thanks mr. google

Just dont go gnome 
Especially if you have 2 fury warriors it should be absolutely no issues killing the tombs on the 3rd cast, but even with 1 fury and 1 sub it went completely fine for us
Echoing that sentiment
1 fury that isn't a noob and it's very easy to break 3rd srt
I agree With u guys but to be real, even With à fury war it s tough for us :x
bit of feedback on the sim, you cant use mandate in stealth
(this will never be a problem in real gameplay as you'd always use transmitter, but a notable bug
)
Sim precasts potion?
thats just the trigger
it collects it later
oh wait queens mandate, ye probably should not be in stealth
yeh I don't have transmitter yet. started playing sub 3 days ago 
think it made no diffrence in output
Theres effectively no difference between shadowstrike > mandate and mandate>shadowstrike in sims, ingame there is a miniscule difference of 1 strike vs 1 backstab but ye technically should be after the strike
!wa
!trinkets
!sheet has sims
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
also someone told me agi was a good stat
and as 2nd a passive option or queens
dont think if i want to believe it
Fuu can u add my weakaura package to sub command as well
sure
not sure about catchup but its warbound u can transfer all of them from your alts to main
you get several per boss
Is the overall gain/week capped per warband?
if not catched up
yeah I've gotten multiple from bosses
I think so
someone i know got 4 per boss
before
instead of one
I got 2 per boss last night
is the builds on wowhead wrong? it says if u play deathstalker its with shuriken tornado and if u choose trickster its with shuriken tornado @vale pine 😄
let me check
how come trickster overtook deathstalker in ST
Cheers love
I heard about Trickster being bugged and splashing only 40% instead of 50% with Nimble Flurry
that still a thing?
oh ok, nice
fixed now
it didn't, but deathstalker still assumes the mark bug to be not present
both are about on par on single target
but trickster plays more nicely
i see
Do we play m+ like in ST? SoD+SD when tech is up?
Storm also in SD?
no
Okk, thx!!
does sec tec want to be first or 2nd finisher after symbols
first seems better, more cdr then given back to sec tec
ive been trying to do that more
see if feels better
Question are we waiting then to send shadow dance till sectech can be the first finisher
ive found myself in that exact spot too
Not necessarily
I've been sendingdance when I have like 9-10 sec left on sectec
so my first eviscerate in dance brings my sectec to me
Cause I just send dance right away and normally the 2nd dance in opener sectech is my 2nd or 3rd finisher
I think to overlap blades during your burst that you just 2nd dance right away
this is what ive been doing, but my previous question is kinda asking is this wrong?
not really
nah
When blades aint up yeah it can be a bit rough at the end of your dance
i havent had that problem so far, atleast with wft
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Irrelevant and i dont wanna flex or anything but i just did 1.36mil Gold with the new secret goldmaking tech 🐌
nice
Same bro (I don’t know how to make gold)
i think i kinda hit the AH hard on this one 😂
I just boost for gold
... what?
I don't know about any new methods / tech
I'm just vibing with my normal method made ~2m this reset
what are you guys talking about
You're right.
I have no idea. I'm just in my lane, moisturized, vibing.
SAP
?
I've been playing it wayyy too loose with irrelevant profession talk in spec channels, I'm guilty of this.
this spec is so much fun now, omg
my ingra damage in a pug had the 2.5k disc PI'ing my cds lol
having nuclear prio damage in cooldowns feels amazing
Question: Do we still cast backstab during dance to stack danse macabre?
nah
we stopped doing so in TWW
how do they tp into boss here?
I think they mean their dk and druid
like druid and DK also tps
No, they all just get TPed to the boss
Just more memeing wow-general outside of OT 
Theyre outside the arena so the buff kinda just TPs them in
ohh
No real reason besides thats how that boss works
but seriously mdi players are so creative
the rogue tank tactics haha
was rly fun to watch
That was insane
with stealth they just runs to 3rd mini boss and tank with evasion+cheat death
The pulls they make is also insane
assasinate 3rd boss and just rejoin in the middle
yeah
meanwhile im struggling on +12
tbf people were doing that already in leveling dungeons
thats a sick strat
Is there a bug with the add on last boss of NW? When I reach it while playing Sub, it will often start to evade- I can do damage but can't interrupt or stun it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hey friends new to the noticing some take tornado and some don’t and wondering what is the best use for it
Cancel tricks before that boss, it’ll bug out if your trickster
ahhhhh
i have a weird question but i know you can get crest discount on rings if you have a crafted ring and recraft it. does that work with daggers aswell?
guess ill find out (pls no ban)
!wa
I mean
You can jsut shroud
the pack
before boss
Because they do roughly the same damage and Trickster doesnt feel ass to play
both are about on par in damage, and trickster plays nicer
And if theres any cleave whatsoever its better
Gonna try Sub next raid. does any1 have screenshots of how their stats are looking?
sub m+ feels so much nicer compared to before
stack vers and mastery and you are good
like are items like this gonna fuck me.
Its fine
cus agi over secondary stats always right
Secondary stats arent nearly as important as people think
They’re everything to me
I’m definitely picking 100 vers over 100 ilvls
based

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
transmitter + x
wtf
oh ive had head and bracers with socket from vault also and those trinkets
rest been shite
Macro transmitter to flag?
thats what i do at least
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
so it did work which is very nice but also bug exploiting i guess??
Hi subs. I've wanted to play sub since tbc. But I made assa rogue as my first character ever. Now all these years later... Should I try sub? Is it fun?!
i find it kinda fun
Very much fun
how are you guys managing the part with potion, trinket, etc.? at least with my keybindings im close to breaking my fingers xd
macro
we usually use transmitter earlier
good thing i dont have a transmitter 
felt like playing sub rather than sin on silken but still rocking my 619 wrathstone on them lmao
Wrathstone not bad tho
it still sims better than any other trinket for me on hero track
Big mainstat
and i havent been fortunate enough for a trinket in my vault
And no shitty mini game
It gives roughly the same amount of stats as transmitter does but it effectively has a 3 minute cd, it def aint fantastic
The unfortunate reality is that theres really no other on-use trinket besides transmitter thats good for sub besides very niche scenarios with odd timers
Is it bad for sub if there isn't a 1.5min trinket with stats for a season?
Probably ye
Do we still have the flask overrides listed anywhere?
Unless we lean harder into sustained stuff with deathstalker instead of bursty trickster due to some new tier sets
Yeah
Cant remember where exactly it was in here
I guess that's kinda the case with other 1.5 minute specs too, so surely there's gonna 1.5 min trinket each season...
Surely

Subtlety Macros:
It is not recommended to macro most cooldowns.
The following macros are an exception:yaml /cast Cold Blood /cast Secret Technique

When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
fuu are you alive rn?
hunter applies to my ruby life pools -> check armory -> no bow? -> decline
fuu went to sleep
why fuu asleep when I need him 
Its in the #tc-research channel somewhere
hmmmmm
But it is really just writing the names of them
Fuck im sure I just scoured it, lets try again
consume compare? should be in the pins
(and it doesnt really matter because they sim roughly the same anyway)
gunna go hang myself now 
it does all consumables
btw is it just symbols on cd and use dance with it if possible?
For anyone else looking/wondering - it's the top pin in #tc-research
no we dont symbols on cd really
was thinking that because of this part on the wowhead guide
If you notice Sepsis no longer exists
So it's outdated
@hazy breach sorry if this has been discussed before but what is causing a cp delay right now
it feels like when coup is up
or something like when its about to come up
you see kind of like the RS bug
its after coup
coup can proc shadowcraft until the last hit
so even if you begin with like 4 if it gets to 7 it refreshes
is there any current guide i can check on what to do as sub?
yea the wowhead one has things updated i also did one in yt but it is only an overview for now
there are others too
!guide
these 3 seem to be outdated at times since im reading stuff about sepsis or dust even at times, so im not sure what is up to date and what not
This video I found recently goes over the new playstyle and what was removed/added
Hey guys, I hope you learned a few things from my yapping~

Hello, I am generally new to wow and am just starting to raid, I have a few macro's set up and would like someone who knows more to check them.
What is the goal of your macros? We only have a couple of macros that are DPS focused
!macro
Subtlety Macros:

alright
#showtooltip Shadow Dance
/cast Symbols of Death
/cast shadow strike
/use 13
/use 14
/cast shadow dance
I have the secret technique, cold blood one
#showtooltip
/cast shadow blades
/cast flagellation
Granted, Shadow Strike doesn't work with Shadow Dance as a macro atm, but technically, you'd want to Dance then Strike.
And don't do this.
strike doesn't work with dance?
Yeah Dance -> Strike sounds like it should work
but it doesn't
you can try it
the spell can't queue when you can't cast it
If you spam the button it could work, but you def don't want to spam a macro with symbols in it
You want symbols and dance separated from each other, they're different buttons to press at different times
All this
what would I use with symbols of death or would it be better to not have a symbols macro?
