its the blacksheep

spark tusk
#

Sub stronk tho, just less popular

tribal blade
#

i think if most people tried new sub now they would enjoy it way more

#

they just remember sub being a clusterfuck of cds all over the place

#

plus sub is not the absolute pinnacle of dps atm, so no reason to play it unless you're doing the end bosses of raid on mythic

round latch
#

coz u dont care

#

make 10 vid series,ask ppl to help u if u are bored,u would be an amazing selling point

tepid trellis
#

hell nah

#

too much work

round latch
tribal blade
#

where's my spreadsheet of cds for the raid

#

UwU

tepid trellis
#

close your eyes

#

then use your brain for 2min

#

there you go

#

there they are

tribal blade
#

i seem to have run out

rugged condor
#

!craft

sinful sluice
#

how hard is last phase on ovinax?

#

we just saw 10% on last stage

pliant topaz
#

just live the tripple worm set boss dies ez

tribal blade
#

most important thing is kicks on the triple worm set

#

above anything else

plush roost
#

If boss is 10% going into third phase just break the inside layer of eggs and burn boss

#

Idr if theres 3 worms on the inside layer or not

#

But yeah, if everyone kicks

#

Boss is dead

#

Fuck parsing esp on a first time kill pull

sinful sluice
#

3%

#

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

oh my god is the sheet actually back lol

#

where's the link

lilac stag
#

Not available yet

#

Dino working on it.

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

i like to just drop in and start blabbing

lilac stag
#

I try to scroll back a little, not sure why lol

#

Only do it here

tepid trellis
#

there is your sheet

tribal blade
#

i love it when it's simple stupid

#

btw failed a 15 mists today and played it as sub

#

and kept up with the arcane mage on 1st boss

mint plank
#

How is sub in 12-14s?

tepid trellis
#

thaths a bit silly, you should really try and time those keys

tribal blade
mint plank
#

Been really enjoying it in 10s

tribal blade
#

he did high dmg in some other keys, not sure what happened in the mists

#

we both did ~2mil overall in 14 NW

tepid trellis
#

been asked to do title keys this season again, not sure im gonna do it tho

tribal blade
#

i literally just had a chat with another rogue on my server today

#

Edude

mint plank
#

Any good sub content creators?

tribal blade
#

he's at around 3200 IO atm

#

and said it's absolutely miserable trying to time keys

#

he might "go afk" he said

#

death affix just makes doing keys so unfun

mint plank
#

I’ll check it out, thanks

tribal blade
#

kinda hard to find M+ sub rogue content

lilac stag
mint plank
#

Yeah that’s what I’m looking for tbh

#

Not my subs in general

#

Many*

lilac stag
#

Tetris sounds more fun than title hunting

tepid trellis
#

im just playing lost ark with friends

tribal blade
#

in this key casual hearths out to swap to sub for the last 2 bosses

tepid trellis
#

ive only logged into wow one time since we killed ansurek

#

which was our reclear this week where i was in on silken court

tribal blade
#

oh casual did that NW before the rework, it's old rotation

#

@tepid trellis it's become difficult to find keys that are above 14 in lfg

tepid trellis
#

lmao u think im gonna pug one singular key?

tribal blade
#

might be a bit better on EU

#

haha in case you felt like coming back and pugging 😉

tepid trellis
#

id never pug

tribal blade
#

but iirc you had a team

tepid trellis
#

yeh ive got people to play with if i wanna push

tribal blade
#

well at least right now you can just dive right into it

#

don't have to worry about push weeks

#

or 2 weeks worth of IO

#

you can just get IO for 1 key once and it's done

#

most frustrating thing right now is you just rack up too many deaths and the key is over

tepid trellis
#

simple solution

#

dont die

tribal blade
#

i'm dying on the inside every day

tepid trellis
#

what is dead may never die

tribal blade
#

what is dead may never die

vale pine
tribal blade
#

he probably has

vale pine
#

i think we had a quick chat some weeks ago

tribal blade
#

right now as i'm pushing the keys i always run as sub are DB, mists and CoT

vale pine
#

and sub isn't too bad in team combos with a lot of aoe

tribal blade
#

yeah! it's a lot of that

vale pine
#

rogue mythic+ balance is a bit weird atm

#

or lets say rogue balance

#

where there is just not enough incentive to ever play outlaw or sub due to tuning

tribal blade
#

yeah it's a bit annoying

vale pine
#

outlaw also would need a rework

#

if they want to make it competitive in all content

tribal blade
#

i wish sub wasn't target capped with trickster

#

i also feel SO useless during down time as sub

#

on the ~30 seconds before next cd set when you're holding

#

it feels pretty bad

vestal escarp
#

I lock sub on wake and city

tribal blade
#

sin is really good on the 1st half of NW

#

but yeah i really like playing sub in CoT

#

CoT is one of those keys where there's just a fuckton of damage going out on every boss

vestal escarp
#

Did a few depletes for wake 14

#

Tried bp and evis on first pack on separate runs

tribal blade
#

i timed 14 NW today as sin

vestal escarp
#

Evis flurry did more overall on that pull consistenly for me

tribal blade
#

interesting

vestal escarp
#

Point is i pressed storm too few times to put up fw

#

And im going around with 22% crit

#

So i stop bothering and evis the gatekeeper

tribal blade
#

yeah that's the shitty part about sub trickster atm

#

i still think if they added UB to storm that would fix it

vestal escarp
#

That pull you have to send asap if you wanna do some overall dmg

#

You're not allowed to press storm 8 10 times and put up some ruptures

#

Smallies get deleted anyway and you let others pad

keen dome
#

Gapped a ret in a +10 Dawnbreaker by 200k DPS. I'm blastin' today

#

This affix si so nice for Sub

#

Just a huge dollop of Versatiltiy and CDR so we blas tmore

tribal blade
#

i very much prefer sub in DB

#

oh i forgot there's a seasonal affix tbh lol

keen dome
#

Oh yeah, you don't get it above 12 haha

tribal blade
#

you reminded me it's a thing haha

keen dome
#

This one is the "kill the ghost xal'atath, get 30% versa and 20% faster cooldowns for 20? seconds"

#

It owns

vestal escarp
#

Sub good in pug cause you dont int boss dmg as sin

keen dome
#

Yeah

vestal escarp
#

In premades you can get funnel targets arranged as sin

tribal blade
#

yeah boss damage is really good in DB as sub

vestal escarp
#

But i also think the sin situations is very nice and the talents are balances

#

Aoe dmg is strong but pure st is weak so if you wanna compensate you have to make sacrificies

keen dome
#

Do you blast Rasha'nan on pull or do you use your CD's on the big mob before her?

tribal blade
#

iron wire is crazy good in NW, SV and GB

vestal escarp
#

Enha and frost have the luxury to blast all scenarios

tribal blade
keen dome
#

That's what I thought, yeah

vestal escarp
#

Miniboss on pull at rash and below

keen dome
#

Yeah

tribal blade
#

those mini bosses are really hard on higher key levels

vestal escarp
#

90s cds are good

tribal blade
#

that's the most common way to fail DB

keen dome
#

I always blow that mob up 'cos it sucks and is dangerous and wastes time, and it's not like P1 of Rash'anan actually matters

tribal blade
#

is fucking up the mini bosses

keen dome
#

just do bombs

vestal escarp
#

Yeah but 90s allow you to send on rash p1

tribal blade
#

well the luxury of doing higher key levels is less thinking about when to send cds

#

so you can cd the mini boss and all your cds will be back up for rashanan

vestal escarp
#

As sin idk a deathmark on a dying boss is always way less that a deathmark on the pull after

tribal blade
#

unless you have an arcane mage in your group

keen dome
#

Truth, yeah

sinful sluice
#

saw 1% 4 times and couldnt get ovinax down

#

why is this so hard

rain smelt
#

Are DM still simming falsely higher than trickster ST?

vale pine
vale pine
rain smelt
#

Not 2-3%?

vale pine
#

exactly like 2-3%

rain smelt
#

Cool thanks

vale pine
#

it means both are about equal

sinful sluice
#

nah but seriously

#

coup dash isnt real

#

probs shouldnt press anything when im breaking eggs

lilac stag
sinful sluice
#

thats wa

#

northern sky or smt

lilac stag
#

Hmm I don’t remember seeing it in NS.

short radish
#

you gotta turn it on

sinful sluice
#

yea theres setting called "enable map"

lilac stag
#

well shit. Time to find that.

#

Ty

short radish
short radish
#

and i was the middle one

#

so i killed a bunch of ppl with it

lilac stag
#

Haha

#

I can hear the raid getting triggered

chrome fern
#

please excuse my ignorance, im sure it's been answered alot, why in the opener are we delaying SB till after Sectec?

lilac stag
#

Different cd timings. Sectech doesn’t benefit.

chrome fern
#

aren't they the same cd?

#

flag / sectec

lilac stag
#

Look at how long they last

chrome fern
#

to cover the end fo second dance window?

#

but if so, i dont understand why it cant be at the same time as pot/ trinket

#

sure one gcd after dance ends of full cp gen isn't that worth

lilac stag
#

Flag is effectively 24 seconds. Sblades is 16. You’re trying to maximize sblades window

chrome fern
#

or is it some weird timing with sectec cd where you have to delay the second dance

tribal blade
#

the first strike in dance is full combo points because of premed

#

and sectec doesn't benefit from blades

#

so it's optimal to use blades after sectec

lilac stag
#

Sub uses basically zero macros

#

Cds are still krangled

tribal blade
#

imagine if they left blades at 20 secs

lilac stag
#

be it timings or what benefits

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

surely we get a bit more attention

chrome fern
#

i guess what im confised on is that dance is 8 seconds, so you're only gonna have 2 dance windows with blades as is

#

so delaying 2 gc'ds just means that you have blades when the second dance ends

lilac stag
#

You’re delaying 5 gcds

chrome fern
#

not from dance

#

the desync from flag isnt my issue, it's the desync from dance

#

i get that it means it will line up with the end of flag

#

but the end of flag is outside a dance window

lilac stag
#

And the delay with dance is from premed and sectech

tribal blade
#

if you press blades along with flag

chrome fern
#

no that's not what im asking

lilac stag
#

There’s no point in having blades up before sectech

#

Flat out dps loss

tribal blade
#

it's less so lining it up with anything, it's more so you gain very little from blades being active at the start of dance

chrome fern
#

i realise it's a loss, but surely it is a tiny loss, because all it means is you dont have flag + blades buff on an outside dance finisher

lilac stag
#

If it was a sm or within range of being a wash, it would be recommended to just send it.

#

I’m sure one of the greens or fuu could give you a more exact number.

#

I don’t remember what the exact percent was

spark tusk
#

I can't say

#

I just learned to delay it

chrome fern
#

i play the margins of accepting a dps loss for the gains i get by not bundling the whole ass tihng anyway

vale pine
lilac stag
#

If you want to bind it put it with sectech

spark tusk
#

like if you are learning the new version of sub you're not going to do -20% dps

#

by just bundling it all together

#

if you just want to simplify what you're doing to onboard and learn

lilac stag
#

this is ultimately a krangled min/max spec.

chrome fern
#

i meant bundling as in fumbling in that case, but yeah

lilac stag
#

Blades is always going with Sectech so that would be the macro if you have to have one.

spark tusk
#

You have my permission to bundle it all together in the interest of simplifying things as you learn, but know in the back of your mind you do want to eventually shift it to after

#

also yeh, premed, that makes sense

chrome fern
#

it's not too bad, it's not overly dissimilar to when i had to learn shadowdust

spark tusk
#

being a waste of those free combo points

chrome fern
#

specifically with snd now being gone

lilac stag
#

Just a little brain rewiring if you were used to dust.

tribal blade
#

you want to integrate min maxes sooner rather than later

chrome fern
#

it's that time of the season where i level my second rogue, and it's a sub main XD

tribal blade
#

because relearning muscle memory really blows

chrome fern
#

gonna be hard to rewire not rupturing after flag

vale pine
#

if you want to take a shortcut

#

just macro blades to secret

tribal blade
#

yeah things have changed a bit

lilac stag
#

lol said that twice already fuu

tribal blade
#

i actually didn't have too hard a time adjusting to using blades after sectec

#

because i love how premed gives full CPs

#

so that was always on my mind with the new rotation

chrome fern
#

is it safe to macro blades to SS?

lilac stag
#

No

#

Sectech

#

Or nothing.

tribal blade
#

you would pop blades on pull if you did that

chrome fern
#

no no, sorry you misunderstand

#

when i press blades, also ss

tribal blade
#

it would likely work

#

but your global after sectec might not necessarily be a builder

lilac stag
#

Refund coup and instead you hit ss

vale pine
#

i need to admit

chrome fern
#

fair fair, might be better to go with sectec then, im just trying to avoid having to press 2 buttons inside one gcd

vale pine
#

i still waste shadowcraft refunds every now and then

tribal blade
#

i tend to do the same thing trying to simplify things, i get it

vale pine
#

it does not happen much, but can happen

tribal blade
lilac stag
tribal blade
tribal blade
#

i'm actually curious how much of a dps loss the RS bug is

lilac stag
#

Me with a .5-.8 gcd refund from RS

tribal blade
#

i can sometimes predict the RS bug is gonna happen

#

and i wait it out and snipe that refund

#

and it feels good

#

but if you mess up and the refund doesn't come, you just killed a gcd

lilac stag
#

If it was just a short delay w/e. the random of any point in the gcd can fuck off

tribal blade
#

it's so funny that single bug was a big contributor to kush not wanting to play sub in keys anymore

spark tusk
#

Like I've been thinking about it and get that much closer to the edge

#

of dropping rs

#

it's enraging

lilac stag
#

sht to me is fine

#

I make less errors

spark tusk
#

I tried to make a WA to predict if it'll happen but

#

the game seems to just not be consistent enough to rely on that

#

and it wasn't helping

lilac stag
#

Nope. It’s totally hosed rng

spark tusk
#

Er, patch

#

is that at the same time I also did a bit of keybind redesigning

#

not much but I moved sectec and blades around a bit

#

just to try something new now given the order of operations

#

I hadn't adjusted yet to sepsis being gone, and with er gone too those two buttons I had open for them were open

#

It just happened to be a perfect time to also relearn the new prio and sequencing

#

so

lilac stag
#

Fix potion. Surebud

spark tusk
#

May be something to consider, just to refresh your keybinds so you also refresh your memory with the sequencing, so the whole thing is a new learning

#

Cause for me the old muscle memory of the old rotation is intrinsically paired with the keybind arrangement I had

#

change the keybinds, it helps changing the sequencing

#

peeposhrug works for me sometimes, may help for you, may not

chrome fern
#

well button, seeing as there is nothing macro'd to it atm

tribal blade
#

the sub opener is very much a piano moment

keen dome
#

Ye

#

Lotta buttons to press in a very elegant and quick movement.

chrome fern
#

in reality it's no different to envenom > dm > shiv > > kb on assass

#

shouldn't be too hard, its jsut the order / keys i press

lilac stag
#

Yeah just figure out which one makes senses across both

#

And life gets easier

chrome fern
#

i liken sectec to kb, and symbols to shiv

hardy falcon
#

Yo guys, in terme of passibe trinket, do you pref shadow ritual knife or empowering crystal from dawbreaker ? (Active is Transmitter ofc)

alpine wraith
#

knife is usually better but depends on ilvl of both

vale pine
#

if you have a heroic knife its rly good

hardy falcon
#

champion knfe / hero crystal

vale pine
#

sim angle

lilac stag
#

But sim

hardy falcon
#

but rogue is my alt, i'm in need of guilded crest to upgrade my crafted pieces and hopefully myth track next week xd

hardy falcon
#

thx

lilac stag
hardy falcon
lilac stag
#

You can also sim your best crest uppies too

#

Trinkets may surprise you

hardy falcon
#

yay transmitter was a no brainer and was updated instantly

lilac stag
#

I’m 633 with 2x 626

hardy falcon
#

since this char is an alt and i have 600+ guilded to catch up i'm not really sure how i'll manage that
maybe i'll go for best upgrade quickly and less long term optimization

lilac stag
#

weapon likely only huge crafted up

hardy falcon
#

i've one 636 already

#

other 619 hero track

lilac stag
#

Ilvl usually wins after that

hardy falcon
#

if i don't have a myth one wednesday i'll probably craft the other one

lilac stag
#

Nah

#

That’s a water

#

Waste

#

OH a stat stick

hardy falcon
#

oh good to know

#

i'll obvisously sim before doing anything

#

but i didn't know that

#

nice

#

seems like ritual knife 619 is still ahead in both scenarios (st and aoe) for now

#

will keep crystal in case

vale pine
#

👍

lilac stag
#

@vale pine do you have race simc input pinned anywhere?

vale pine
lilac stag
#

Thanks. Went looking in research and didn’t see it

#

Hmmm Maghar jumped up. VE actually dropped on ptr.

lilac stag
#

hmm. Don’t see the VE racial showing up in the sim. Guess it’s not active yet.

lilac stag
#

New rift nice.

velvet nova
#

wasn't replicating shadows bugged since the first time they made it?

alpine wraith
#

kinda it has had different bugs

vale pine
#

in bfa

alpine wraith
#

i just remembered the shitty reason they gave to nerf it from 10% per cp to 2%

#

and i got mad

#

old man yells at clouds

vale pine
#

they nerfed the proc chance because they didn't manage to fix bugs around it

#

its fine

#

a lot of development is around being efficient in what you do

alpine wraith
#

it was not fine tho it becase useless horseshit from best thing ever

vale pine
#

we had a similar situation with the last season tier set in legion

#

things are not always great

lilac stag
#

nothing is fine with RS current state.

#

It’s ok to be critical of something that actively makes the spec worse to play for the user

alpine wraith
#

current rs is like having a papercut

#

it can be tolerable

#

but AAAAAaaAAAaAAaAAAAA

lilac stag
#

More like a paper cut on each fingertip while trying to eat seasalt & vinegar chips

strange chasm
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
strange nebula
#

Need to change all my bis assa gear to go sub?

vale pine
#

no

#

but sub rly likes vers and mastery

#

so if you have gear withe these 2 stats, might be worth considering

strange nebula
#

All gear is Crit/mastery atm

vale pine
#

thats fine if you want to test sub

plush roost
#

So what is the problem with RS, I havent really touched sub this expansion

#

Outside of week 1-2 where we didnt use it

static juniper
#

whats the reason for which sub would prefer vers over crit?

#

sectech being guaranteed crit almost every 2nd cast?

#

therefore losing crit value as its one of the core dmg sources?

vale pine
#

mastery and vers also increase your damage

hazy breach
#

And if we go deathstalker darkest night ultra devalues it

lilac stag
plush roost
#

Which is what? I only played sub in raid season 3-4 df

#

Since yknow, outlaw keys were a banger

lilac stag
#

!bugs

wicked joltBOT
lilac stag
#

Should be first one listed on the sheet

#

basically rng delay during a global of if/when the refund happens.

vale pine
#

this one is the replicating bug

plush roost
#

Ohhh that yeah that is annoying

mint plank
#

Is there a count of when I should be using black powder as a finisher?

vale pine
#

12+

mint plank
#

Does that mean shuriken tornado is not worth in most cases?

#

for M+

#

Im struggling to find good times to use it

alpine wraith
#

yea tornado you use it to put ruptures

#

or to get cdr

pliant topaz
jaunty heath

wicked joltBOT
timid jolt
#

I’m newer but just been using tornado to burn through moves to reset secret faster 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

its a filler spell

#

MAN mainhand broke on packs before last boss of grim batol...............

spent the whole fight shuriken-storming and black powdering

#

fun

yikes

keen dome
#

Always worth carrying some Autohammers for emergencies like that.

vale pine
#

i am engineer

#

so i can just spawn a reeves/jeeves

carmine portal
#

used my last one in raid 😢 didn't expect to wipe so much on a 9

#

lul

hidden spade
#

Is the MDT dungeonroute sims a good way to sim for M+ as sub?

vale pine
#

dungeon slice is best for gearing

keen dome
ember hound
#

do we use tornado in our dance windows or outside of them?

shell gust
#

In aoe do we literally want to rupture every single thing before sending cds or is there like a rough cutoff where it's not worth it?

swift tinsel
#

I throw out a few as the tank is gathering

#

usually 3 casts or so then nuke whatever prio target

clever delta
#

what is rule now if we have ready coup and entering dance? do we still coup or we sectech into coup?

swift tinsel
#

I'd think with the 4pc you'd wanna sectech first

clever delta
#

it was coup first before

#

but idk whats rule now with fixed cdr

alpine wraith
#

you sec tech first now always

clever delta
#

cool

#

the no dust sub kinda grown on me

#

like it

vale pine
#

its fun

#

worked out better than we expected

clever delta
#

assa being assa again, it get boring after some time

#

the numbers are kinda good in sims too, but in raid the gab is much bigger

vale pine
#

assassination does rly absurd aoe, and funnel

#

but gameplay def. more fun on sub

clever delta
#

is ds still oversimming ?

#

cos of some bug?

vale pine
#

the deathstalkers mark bug is iirc still not in sim

#

but its irrelevant

#

deathstalker is competitive on st

#

so can rly play both

#

once you add more targets, trickster wins out

tender zenith
#

Im sure this is a me thing but it shows I only have 66MS but combo points feel laggy sometimes

mild vessel
#

is sub good for m+

vale pine
#

or coup de grace

vale pine
mild vessel
#

ah ok

#

is that for higher keys or all keys

vale pine
#

sub is good

#

its just not op

#

so depending on key, competing with the OP will be difficult

#

but this does not make sub bad, its quite good

mild vessel
#

the op?

#

as in op spec?

#

sorry im new

vale pine
#

basically, if you like subtlety its a good spec

#

it does good damage

mild vessel
#

ive never tried it

vale pine
#

but if you want to do the absolute best, assassiantion can do more

mild vessel
#

ah

#

because i wanna pick up pvp and do raids too

vale pine
#

it does not matter tho, both is good

mild vessel
#

and ik sub is better for pvp i heard

#

and raids

vale pine
#

subtlety is also a LOT harder to play

mild vessel
#

oh shit

vale pine
#

especially in pvp

mild vessel
#

lol

#

really

#

why is that

vale pine
#

you can ask in #pvp for advise

#

subtlety has a lot of dynamic in how to use cooldowns

#

and in pvp it has a lot of cc/mobility to use correctly

#

but pvp in general is a completely diffrent game

#

my advise is to just test specs and see what feels better to play

#

and give yourself time to learn

mild vessel
#

ok ty

#

ya fuu

warm marlin
#

has saved me a couple of times when things broke in the middle of a fight after being brezzed

dull tinsel
vale pine
#

there are some keys subtlety can compete on

#

none sub is noticably better

hazy breach
#

Mostly dawn, but city, mists and siege are alright

vale pine
#

again, subtlety is good

#

so you doing nothing wrong by playing it over assassination

molten citrus
#

all 3 specs are good in pvp, i wouldn't choose one because you heard it's 'better', half the time those statements are false

pliant topaz
strange chasm
#

Sub is just as good tbh from what I've played

#

The only thing is on ass i can do 3mil + with zero cds on a pack

#

every single pack

vale pine
strange chasm
#

I don't think its worth swapping

pliant topaz
strange chasm
#

Unless you have a warlock

I don't think its that big of a time save

pliant topaz
#

what

#

its a massive save

#

for NW and mist

strange chasm
#

Its not the diff between timing and not timing though

pliant topaz
#

since u enter back the dungeon litearlly right netx to boss

#

oh i thnk it is

strange chasm
#

Are the rogues swapping at the 16-17 level?

pliant topaz
#

on high enough keys

#

yes

#

speed NW today on 16 swapped

#

mist 16/17 swapped

strange chasm
#

oh interesting

pliant topaz
#

casual also swaps on NW

vale pine
#

its just hard for me

strange chasm
#

I didn't realize when you zone in you are right next to boss

vale pine
#

to suggest people to spec swap

strange chasm
#

I thought you zone in at start of dungeon

pliant topaz
#

graveyard is 2nd boss

#

so u zone in take angel

vale pine
#

because its a very unique min/max

strange chasm
#

Ah zone in and die then respawn at the angels

dull tinsel
#

I can't imagine it's super relevant to spec swap until higher keys

pliant topaz
vale pine

so all of these sin vs sub stuff isnt really relevent until hard 16/17s

is there a bug or something that causes coup de grace to get stuck at 4 stacks and never complete it's cast. It randomly has happened to me twice and not sure if i'm doing something that i can avoid having that happen again?

Anyone have some advice for Mythic Ulg? My cd timing with mechanics feels terrible. Do I just send everything, even if there is a single beetle? I ended up with so much down time, and I am not sure how to recover from it

alpine wraith
#

to fix the bug

spark tusk
#

It seems to happen when you attempt to cast coup right as a lagspike happens or something

#

really not much you can do

warm aspen
#

dang im kinda sadge now

#

when i first joined we had like a new pin every 3 days lol

#

but ig we just locked in to our current state now right, 0 balance changes anymore

astral echo
#

is sub even worth playing without a transmitter?

hazy breach
#

They typically do way more changes when tiers get launched rather than a couple of months afterwards

spark tusk
grave abyss
#

would you really rather have balance changes every 3 days?

spark tusk
#

they aren't making changes so no adjustments so no pins

warm aspen
#

i guess got spoiled this expac with the consistent balance tunings earlier on lmao

spark tusk
#

Any tips for Mythic ulg/bloodbound if I attempt to pug for cd timings and whatnot?

#

I remember before 11.0.5 we could pull blades to flag at 1min with dust before the itnermission but

#

can't do that anymore

alpine wraith
#

i think i did one about that one not much changes at most you hold cds for like 10 secs

#

if you are team 2

dusk tusk
#

can you tell me when to use vanish please?

pliant topaz
#

For sub if you’re doing keys probably use it for defensive (shield) /utility like dodging mechanics

#

In raid, after opener, kinda just on cd for the extra cps

Hey! Hello!
Could you please explain a few small rotational things to me?

  1. should I enter shadow dance at low CP e.g. should I always try to go SD -> Ambush -> Secret or is it equal to SD -> Secret?
  2. if I'm not feeling I'll be getting enough CP for CDR on SD (like in heavy movement cases) can I still go Symbols -> Secret -> Coup?
  3. do I pop 2nd SD back to back during CDs?

pliant topaz
# dreamy anchor Hey! Hello! Could you please explain a few small rotational things to me? 1. s...
  1. the full shadow dance entrance cp condition is a bit complex and convoluted. if you want fully optimized answer, then you want to enter dance if one of the following conditions are met : you have 1 or fewer combo points. if youre deathstalker, then you have the darkest night buff up and 7 combo points. if youre trickster, then effective combo points >=6. (supercharger counts).
    basically, you dance if youre <=1 cp or >=6 combo points (if you have supercarger this means 3 cps)
  2. yes. its very important that you have 2 dances and 2 sods for cds. if u think u cannot farm enough cps by the time youre sending main cds, u can sod + sectech. there are times when u can also sectech without dance or sod as long as u can get it back before flag cd is up.
  3. yes u want to maxmimize the damage you do inside your large flawless form stacks that u get from your sectech+ coup+ disorineting strike hits

aight fams, new guild first time in a prog guild for me. They want the best rogue spec from my ass. Are fuu's sims the answer and I go outlaw? I really like playing sub man

pliant topaz
#

realistically your choice or rogue spec doesnt really matter. whichever youre best at and enjoy the most is probably more important

#

sims arent gospell, you can look at warcraftlogs to get a better understanding of the distribution

#

all 3 are fine

casting doubt on that

outlaw is never fine

i guess yeua

yeah rogue very cool

prolly sin averages out better but sub isnt bad

just takes time coz its complicated

well if looking and warcraftlogs assa should be the choice? I sim equal on assa and sub so idc for now ig

ight, that leads me to my next question. when i play trickster, i kinda just let it do it's own thing, is there anything i really have to manage in ST?

nah not really, just gotta make sure fazed is up on your target when you consume coup

# tribal blade from a key pushing friend of mine

That’s dope haha. The amount of comments I get when I run sub is hilarious. I run all 3 specs and am currently working on seeing how high I can push all of their io. Far from a top player but everyone just expects it to be dogshit when it’s not. I’m only running 12-13 range but I still get a kick out of their surprise when sub pumps.

#

Outlaw is going to be the one I work on last so it’s really really low. But it was my first main for 2-3 seasons and like I said I’m not a top player by any means. Just limit testing myself on all 3 for fun. I’m confident that I’ll at a minimum hit 2700 on all 3. Which personally I find cool even if it’s not that crazy or impressive.

mint plank
#

What’s considered good dps overall? In 10-12s

round latch
#

varies alot

#

could be 2mil could be 1mil

tulip token
#

I’d assume it’s dungeon and comp dependent. Pull size matters too. Lots of variables

vale pine
#

i know its not a satisfying answer, but just try to find parts you can do better

#

thats all that matters

mint plank
#

Trying to bench mark myself. Seem to be keeping up

tulip token
#

Personally I’m also a number chaser but at the end of the day, understanding why or why you aren’t doing dps is the real goal. The number goes up the further your understanding of your spec is

#

Other than that just have fun and watch it get bigger

tribal blade
#

sub will naturally be lower in the lower keys because stuff doesn't live the full duration of your cds, and you can't spread rupture as much

tribal blade
vale pine
#

i think people will stick to sin

tribal blade
#

in part because if you mess up sub's rotation the dps is horrendous

vale pine
#

simply because some things others mention don't hold true

tribal blade
#

i agree, sin is still overall better

vale pine
#

e.g. a common misconception is

lean roost
#

I switched from son to sub because sub is big fun with the cds and stuff

#

But I’m casual af

vale pine
#

assassination does no damage unless you play 12+ keys

#

because things die to fast

lean roost
#

So I don’t count

vale pine
#

but if that was the case

#

why do we see it played in mdi

#

when they play 8 or 9 keys

tribal blade
#

the good thing about sin is you can at least spread your bleeds at the start of a pull and you're doing a passive 2 mil dps

vale pine
#

yes, its just way too good

#

and its not hard to get good numbers

tribal blade
#

and then they have their bleed protection in sudden demise

#

which is really good in lower keys

#

i think the hardest part about playing sin in keys is the ST rotation

#

it feels awful

keen dome
keen dome
#

Varies by key, but def within that average range.

tribal blade
#

it varies a lot with keys yes

#

and also how you do the dungeon

vale pine
#

also how the tank pulls

tribal blade
#

like the mists i broke 2 mil dps we had a boomy pulling through the maze walls in every room

#

so no small pulls the entire dungeon

keen dome
#

Yeah, bigger the pulls the betterer. Tank pulls still have such a big influence, even in smaller dungeons. I've had some DB's where the tank somehows find the strangest, smallest way to pull.

#

I need to start doing more mists 'cos the first boss is so much fun

fluid tusk
#

On raider.io there are outlaws and assas rogues over 3300 rating while sub are just abone 3k

#

What could explain that?

clever delta
tribal blade
#

it's less of an output thing, it's more of a feel thing

#

but also dungeons with the really big pulls i'm still playing sin mostly

hazy breach
#

It got way better in. 5 though

clever delta
#

whats considered sub playeble dungeons beside mist and dawn

hazy breach
#

City and siege

tribal blade
#

CoT i prefer playing sub 100%

uncut bloom
#

Yeah city is a great dungeon for sub

tribal blade
#

all the hard parts of the dungeon are bosses anyways

clever delta
#

cool

#

i got bored with assa both in keys and raid

#

its like that every time assa being played for more than month 😄

hazy breach
#

People swap to sub after second boss in nw too

clever delta
#

yeah i saw that

vale pine
tribal blade
#

sin is alright on 3rd boss, it's good

#

but on last boss it's abyssmal

hazy breach
tribal blade
fluid tusk
#

I guess sin is also good for the utility it brings

#

Being able to garrote multiple targets on pull

tribal blade
#

i wish sin didn't carry the first half of the dungeon so well

#

just iron wire alone in NW is big

#

i timed a 14 siege today with friends, and i was going to run it as sin w/o iron wire for more damage

fluid tusk
#

Yeah

#

It’s so strong

tribal blade
#

and i thought "fuck it, i'll just run iron wire"

#

and thank god i did

#

because the tank fucked up pulling the banana area

#

accidently double pulled

#

and if i didn't have iron wire we 100% would ahve wiped

fluid tusk
#

Probably one of the strongest talent in the game

#

Especially when there are so many enemy casters in the dungeons this rotation

tribal blade
#

yes it's very good for NW, SV and GB

#

i find it annoying sin gets such crazy good utility in iron wire

#

yet aoe kidney was too much

fluid tusk
#

I mean

#

AoE stun would be even more broken

#

But sub could use something

tribal blade
#

there are aoe stuns in the game already

fluid tusk
#

Like smoke bomb increasing dodge chance for the party

tribal blade
#

but they could have nerfed the duration on secondary targets to like half or something

fluid tusk
#

Yeah true

#

That could be good

tribal blade
#

or i guess a bit more with 8 second kidney

fluid tusk
#

I agree

keen dome
#

give us a heroism

#

Hi guys, new to sub. The target we place frag on, its that our main target we wanna focus on. Or can i switch to other add that dosent have it but still get buffs from frag?

tribal blade
#

so long as it'll live the entire ramp duration

#

so once you have flag on a target you're free to swap as much as you want

#

you won't lose anything

timid reef
#

Cool! Thx alot!

i kinda wish they would buff the lash damage from flag to be like what it was during SL

that would be cool prio damage

scarlet heath
#

currently my issue with Sub is that it feels ass to play with just 100 energy (without the Vigor talent), I feel like I am constantly short on energy and juggling symbols is the pretty much the only remedy but it still feels so weird to play, does it get better at any point?

hazy breach
#

Outside of symbols theres almost no energy correct

#

But it also doesnt matter much, because you're doing absolutely zero damage anyway

vale pine
#

storm costs are quite rough since 10.2 too

#

which leads to the feeling of being even more starved

hazy breach
#

Its currently designed in a way where during cooldowns you have energy for every global and outside cds you struggle a lot for energy

#

Which i personally like because the contrast feels good to me, the cooldowns feel more impactful because of how slow it feels outside of it

#

But i can see other people not seeing it that way

scarlet heath
#

I suppose it just needs getting used to

hazy breach
#

Like ye you could have tea and get more energy, but getting some extra backstabs that do 150k each across a fight aint that impactful, even eviscerates outside cds are kinda weak

scarlet heath
#

yeah that's fair

#

and it's not an issue during cooldowns cuz you are just chaining finishers which refund energy on their own

#

plus symbols energy

#

I just panick a little bit when I shadowstrike and see half my energy just go byebye KEK

hazy breach
#

The only time it sometimes feels a bit bad is when you have the first dance without your cooldowns (ie flag/blades) up and you get unlucky with sht procs, then you sometimes miss out on the last global of that 12s long dance

spark tusk
#

After playing assa forever

#

moments of no energy are totally normal

#

or rather, moments of pooling

hazy breach
#

But again, thats fairly rare and you dont really have first dance up that often without cooldowns anyway

spark tusk
#

I'll often just instinctively pool energy when perhaps I shouldn't

#

np, I'm vibing

bleak wind
#

for me is not so much that you do no damage outside of dance but you also get no cdr

vale pine
#

i think the energy costs of storm dont need to be this high

#

but its fine

#

Just sayin

#

Everyone shout how iron wire is so broken

#

While sin has never been meta for keys before now

#

(start of amirdrassil and awakened are in the "now")

pliant topaz
#

turns out u can have sick broen utility but if you do no damage youre not meta

#

doesnt make your utility not broken

#

ppal s2 df was equally oppressive as it is now with off healing / utility. but bear go brrr

#

ppal had the same shit it has now beginning of tww

#

but now it do dam

#

crazy thought i know

vestal escarp
#

Crazy

pliant topaz
#

so your argument about iron ire not being oppresive is kinda a meme. it is very good

#

in fact good enough that u take it by giving up large amounts of damage

vestal escarp
#

Wdym, it is a meme

pliant topaz
#

LOL

vestal escarp
#

But it's valid

pliant topaz
#

if it was a meme people wouldnt give up 7% overall for it

#

but sure

vestal escarp
#

Iron wire was never the dealbreaker

pliant topaz
#

no utility ever is

#

its always about damage / living

vale pine
#

scent of blood too

#

😛

pliant topaz
#

but also no utility comes with a 7% dps cost

#

and u take it ayways

#

thats how absurdly broken it is

lucid jackal
#

How things usually go is that whenever a spec is good, their specific unique utility is "why they end up being op"

#

Back in BFA it was gouge and bte stun

vale pine
#

shuriken combo had a high trade off of aoe for funnel, scent gives it for free

lucid jackal
#

In sl it was "dance cheapshot" ( ICANT )

slate fable
#

man bte stun was kinda annoying sometimes though lol

pliant topaz
#

true! scent is litearlly a better version of shuriken combo

hollow snow
#

Honestly with a protpal alot are just dropping IW

keen dome
#

Shuirken Combo 😠

vale pine
#

but as arming pointed out

#

anything thats op

#

is always on top of numerical tuning

#

so then more niches and extra stuff anyone brings

pliant topaz
vale pine
#

then higher its value gut

#

for subtlety

pliant topaz
#

not that IW is why sins meta

#

but it is very very very strong

vale pine
#

numerical tuning typical used to make up for design issues or deficites

#

e.g. subtlety having bad low target cleave

#

was offset by it having good aoe

#

in s1/s2 DF

#

this is diffrent when specs don't have deficits/problems like this

hollow snow
#

not everyone takes it. Its only mando in like SV, GB, Wake

vale pine
#

and i talked about it in the outlaw channel recently

#

modern wow

#

if you have a deficit thats common

#

you are more times than not fucked by it rather than getting something in exchange

#

it is why DF focused on removing some deficits

#

or well it did for some specs

#

the most noticable diffrence for TWW is the addition of nimble flurry

#

which allows subtlety to do competitive damage in cleave

#

which wasn't the case since

#

when was wod?

#

did subtlety do cleave damage in wod?

#

hmm

#

lets just assume 10+ years

random hare
vale pine
#

just to have a less one sided discussion on this

#

i think having clear niches/upsites to specs brings a net positive

hidden spade
#

Does anyone have a plater mod that will change the colour of a nameplate if the target has the fazed debuff?

hazy breach
vale pine
#

i don't like the modern trend of just hoping to be the spec thats numerical better

upper narwhal
#

I think classes having different strengths and weaknesses would be a good thing, but most content is very similar in what's needed so some classes strengths never see any real value and their deficits really stand out

vale pine
#

on top of bringing the least trade offs and most niches

vale pine
#

e.g. subtlety was the agile spec

#

you had 2 charges of shadowstep, no fall damage and vanish-teleport

#

starting DF

#

sublety didn't even play 2x step for most of s1

strange chasm
#

I'm glad they removed shadowstep from outlaw
