nobody will complain that one spec got more mobility
its a nice change, but it does actively remove uniqueness
and this happened to multiple things
yes
but vanish is technically
just shadow dance
with subterfuge skilled
it is functional identical
subtlety stands out becuase it has danse macabre, dark brew, 2 charges of shadow dance
cross the 2 charges of shadow dance, because you can have 2 charges of vanish
what shadow dance in the general tree did was overall a net positive for subtlety
because the spec got changed to have almost everything away from stealth and working with symbols/dance
it is why subtlety is after the dust removal the only rogue spec which has vanish as a more or less utility spell
or flip site
DF is the reason so much more stealth inetractions got added to outlaw/assassiantion
Yeah exactly lol
and now why sin/outlaw do benefit from re-stealths a lot more than sub
Like I said it's kinda "This spec is overtuned, what OP utility can we leverage while playing them" because every spec usually has something
You mean tanks worst nightmare 
Im 1000% sure people would say sub was OP in grim batol if it did good damage there
me no chain pull?
Because speed shroud saves a lot of time there as theres a lot of running
Let's pull that 5% hp mob into the next group
Not because of the actual shroud, but the speed
than scent of blood or iron wire
bring back stunning secrets
Next season when sub is OP, "Wow sub rogue is just so OP in these new dungeons with all the walking, the speed shroud is just required to push"

because scent/iron wire are always useful, while speedshroud needs a lot more specific scenatios
indoor dungeons usually
or maybe outlaw
you never know
"Wow outlaw is so OP in these dungeons, float is just required to be tanky enough to push keys"
outlaw still has outstanding defensives
It's always something
It's just funny that sin has had iron wire since BFA
and this is like, the 2nd season its been considered "the best rogue spec"
is bubbling wax better then ironclaw?
and both times its been good its been because of the fact it's overtuned
But now it's "Well iron wire is just required"
Totally ignoring EVERY OTHER SEASON Where rogue had iron wire, and it wasn't the best spec to play
Yeah and it was bad all in DF lol
there are keys where Iron Wire isn't even played, Assa just does big damage
IW is the cherry on top
just to pour some gas into the fire
iron wire durating was massively buffed to make it even better
when was the 15% DR added?
also scent of blood is as mentioned earlier free funnel
with no trade off
and funnel with trade offs was already considered so op
it needed immidiate removal
8.0.1
I mean idk It's just sin is a strong spec
It was strong and then got like 5 buffs in a row
Idk if removing funnel and all that needs to go lol
They just gotta nerf it a bit, if they even care to
Make caustic a bit worse
yes, and you answered your question why it wasn't relevant before
smthing like that
because you don't consider a spec part of your toolkit
if it does not do good damage
given how assassination whiped the floor with everyone on beta already
we quickly got it into the part of the considered specs
and as such, people started to realize other parts that are benefitial/good about it
attention is what gets you nerfed or changed
it is why scent of blood is less likely to be just purged
like shuriken combo is
the aoe the spec deals is too high, so you probably won't reach similar absurdity on a boss fight
scent of blood is nothing like combo lol
true! its better
I mean in the context of carnage existing it might be too good but combo was broken everywhere
yes, you are right
thats what i am saying
you don't need to sacrafice aoe to do higher prio
the reason combo was op
was that you could keep stuff alife
the reason combo was OP was because it literally meant you did 2x the damage of people if you could spam storm > Evis
its 20% damage to your kit if u have 4 targets around vs 25 to 1 ability if u have 6 targets around
because sub aoe was terrible
It's similar only in the literal sense
its just not as obviouse
because modern fights are not designed with a lot of long living adds to funnel off
we probably won't see another zul
you don't have constant funnel on the fight
eh, u have alot
but sure, you see funnel damage here
but broodtwister ads need to die
the way sub with combo worked u woulda done 0 damage to those ads
and u cant really havve that
The spec doesn't have combo anymore lol so yeah Not surprised it loses funnel damage to sin/otl
atleast in early prog
It's not about leaving the adds up the entire fight
If combo existed, you would have played sub on that fight and done infinite damage most of the time
Esp with trickster
i legit dont think u guys even know what funnel woulda done right now for sub
25% amp to 25% of your damage
is 5% damage
HOLY SHIT
HUGE
I GOT 5% FUNNEL
PLS NERF MAN
like combo woulda been considered weak as fuck with its 5% per target tuning
literally weaker than supercharger
by a lot
Are the outlaw/sun that much better than sub to where it’s not viable in raid?
no
all are fine in raid
discussions about tools specs have in different nichies and damage profiles
Ohhh I see, ty! @pliant topaz
lets quick discuss how bad scent is
a baseline sim for single target for scent is 1.26M dps
if you add more targets and look at prio damage
acent has drawbacks
clear drawbacks
like situations where u cant realistically maintain ruptures
your prio damage on 10 targets is 2.2M dps
but iits also extremly strong when u can
so a 74% increase over the single target output
Hey do you know if Flawless form also buffs secret Technique?
yes
i think thats close enough to the "2x damage" statement guy made
so i want to hold coup for dance and symbole to get 5 stacks of form to use on Secret techniq if pissible?
Scent harder to apply out of stealth ig, like if ur chain pulling etc is only drawback I can see. Sorta “wasted” cps to get those ruptures up while other classes can just go right off the rip?
its not all scent
scent is fixed 20%
sims: Single Target | 10 targets
a lot of that is the extra cps/energy
well yes
But the agi buff is nuts same w iron wire feels damn near mandatory for keys. And feels to troll playing the other specs idk
because shadowcraft and blades automatically saturate your cps. your damage is tune around having max cps all the time during cds

well yes, its funnel in general
if not, laugh bud
I'm responding to the person talking about ironwire being manditory in key
Which is the entire thing that started this convo
iron wire is a nice bonus
my bad. that one i laugh with u then
yea
I hate assa, and the stipulation against other specs trying to put keys
basically, we discuss how good scent of blood/iron wire are on top of the very good tuning assassination saw this patch, which lead to the dominant position in raids and mythic+ where nobody dares to play the other specs.
It’s kinda gross but is what it is lol
I think all 3 specs are good in keys
It's just sin is a bit better especially on the high end
and guy and me have a diffrence in opinions about how good funnel damage is on assassiantion
I don't push keys so I'm not gonna pretend it matters what spec I play
Sub is fun and strong in keys for vault so Imma play it and have fun
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ahh gotcha, yea trying for 12+ pugging is like 45-1hr wait as outlaw lmao
because subtlety had a talent called shuriken combo
which enabled funnel
but was completely ripped off the game
because of one encounter it could be exploited on
assassinations funnel is in power level very comparable
but has none of the trade offs shuriken combo has
bp vs. evi
Scent is a passive, that requires targets to live long, and realistically speaking, is only playable when you have carnage
BP didn't exist when combo existed
BP was added in SL
fair
but it would have this trade off in modern wow
the funnel was to make up for the lack of cleave/aoe
which is also a trade off
it also woulda been weak in modern wow. idk man, its litearll 25% damage to 25% of your damage. htats like 6% funnel. maybe 10% dor DS. regardless it woulda been a meme talent
exactly, having a changed enviroment is why its now so strong
it was initially 10% per combo point not 5
but yes
to make matters worse, shuriken storm energy costs are too high to have a high finisher frequency
Combo also just leads to stupid design where if the tuning is ever high enough it becomes "NOBODY DO ANY AOE DAMAGE"
Even with something like scent, Rupture does a lot of damage, stuff is dying, it has to die thats the point
Combo either does nothing and is just a damage talent, or it does stupid things like with M+ that one season, or with obviously zuul
eh, rupture doesnt really kill things specially if they have more than like 10m health
thats what I said too
If you want to avoid zul problem
But then it’ll be shit with trickster
it has a high trade off
BP is just such a shit button
Always was and probably always will be unless you can helicopter spam it
even spamming it
damage is too much focused around cooldowns
the only diffrence lower storm costs would make
is to have higher find weakness uptime on multiple targets
Yeah idk
the reason sin is allowed to do this high damage
is that st/aoe is seperated in cooldowns/design
so you can increase aoe without making st absurd
something you can't do on outlaw
That spec is basically aoe
The build ppl play does 0 ST
nobody trades of st
you can pmuch play st
Holy shit it’s ass
But nobody does that in keys
thats nothing
That loses a lot of overall no?
yes
It does
Yeah just isn’t worth
Its nice for raid but for dungeons its bad
Spec does minimum 4m dps just for spreading dots
if you can keep targets alife
because the st trade off
is only there if you play with low targets
Yeah just funnel everything
it leads to the same situation sub had
where you try to pull stuff to bosses
to make funnel higher
just to re-iterate
are ppl actually doing this tho lol
I mean you can’t a lot of the times
So many bosses are locked in some way
when he did say sub was played in keys for funnel
Well it was in 1 season
Because the game in BFA was very different than the game rn
its the same scenario but more difficult to do
because the aoe damage of sin is higher
when possible yeah
like NW first boss
GB 2nd boss
on high enough keys its really nice and is a time saver since u do less packs
by doing them with bosses
what is fine and not is always a decision of perception
sub aoe was worse than sins is rn
and people did say sub needed to be heavily nerfed during s1/2 df
because it does too much aoe
I think most ppl who aren't delusional would say sin is too good and could probably get nerfed
possible, but less likely
nerfs become less likely later in a season
and a new season typically comes with many factors which can indirectly nerf specs
e.g. bad tier sets
or bad trinket selections
or just raid/dungeon design which does not work well with the niches of the spec
Chances we keep transmitter for next season?
i might make a analysis for it
We just need a good 1:30
i actually wonder how likely high stat trinkets on 90 sec timers are for agi
for now, i don't want to focus on potential s2 problems
Ye true
because we are currently good
and i think discussing problems is something that people don't want if you are tuned well
is why certain specs (not nessecery rogue)
are mentioned as whiny
also i do think
outlaw is at least currently in a slightly worse position
11.0.7 also does not look super interessting
the onlyx annulet 2.0 seems fairly meh
can somone explain to me how high the dps increse is if i activly delay my coup de grace for like 5-10 sec with black powder to use it in my shadowdance window before secret technique? or is it better to just pump ur spells out and dont worry about it? xD
I know kinde deepdive but if I want to compete in high keys with dps i need to play better...
you only hold coup if you are about to dance or with cds
and in st
in aoe you dont hold at all to get more cdr
I mean i get cdr with black powder too
but you dont get progress to next coup proccing unseen
Ok true
I just checked the loggs of highes ranked sub rogue and he uses black powder with trickster and i thougt maybe its because of the mentioned question
u can use bp on bigger pulls
y in keys like nectotic or arakare i get that but somtimes he got logs with BP on like 1% overall dps
and then i think he uses it to hold coup for dance window
yea you hold as i said before
if you are about to dance or about to pop cds
but you do it for like 3 or 4 secs at most in aoe and in st it does not happen often and you only do it if next dance is with flag
Ok so i hold if its outside of cd windows but never in the cd window itself
because its better to just pump in the windows
if i can start with coupe = great but in cds just pump as much as u can
yea
bp on 10+ targets right?
Ive read both guides and cant find an answer, if im at 6/7 CP do I Envenom or do I multilate
Damn, sub gained envenom and mutilate?

We pumpin now
if i get a sectec after the opener (with / without cb on cooldown) should I send it or wait for shadow dance
there are some rules for sec tech we follow on most guides
you do skip some dances and even SoD
but sec tech generally gets used unless other cds come up soon
whats the Spell ID on shadow dance
236279
is the icon bugged? xd
ah its up there
Yeah, lots of good shit hidden in that links button
!wa
''
what are some of the dungeons where we get like 12 target count for BP? im thinking NW first pull usually, but i cant think of too many others
Not really. Basically just blast with eviscerate and take down a prio
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hi , i'm returning to the game , is sub viable or not really?
Yes very viable
MM+ also? 😄
it is
both m+ and raid
thanks ! 😄
DS or Tckr?
trickster
its kinda funny how each spec is pretty much just playing the hero talents that match the base spec
yes some bugs are there still
if i'm not wrong , the Tckr spec is the one were you have to BP in ST?
to force hold coup for ur next dance
but idk if that changed
yea looks like its still the same according to wowhead guide
huh
U don't do that anymore
sub - primarily trickster
sin - primarily deathstalker
outlaw - primarily fatebound
the hero talents are more closely aligned with those specs than the shared spec
What are the minimum % required for critique and haste please ?
There isn't
I've compared my parses with best players
They burst higher
Because they crit. more
yes, but bugs are just the norm in tww
That's not how the spec works
Why do they crit more then ?
Yes so I need more crit
No
Okay
don't blame crit buddy
it is quite unbecoming
I try to see what to blame
Because it seems that I play rotation like them
When I compare with wow logs
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
!wa
How much crit are you expecting to be in some of the top logs? 10k?
Because I’m looking at them right for a fight like M Sikran, and the amount of crit they have…
this guys darkest night always crits hes so lucky wtf
So now that I've a correct rio, I've been getting removed from several group today because I play sub and not assa xd
And I'm only tagging in chill +10 keys for weekly vault
jesus
Welcome to mdi / meta specs
hey all, im using a symbols/shadow dance macro but they keep just geting out of sync
so sometimes ill pop it and it will only use either dance or symbols and not the other
how is a macro like this viable ?
its not
We’re basically macroless in 11.0.5.
dang 😦
without macros i think it will fuck my brain too much to paly
play
the saving grace for me was being told i could macro things together
you can have a macro for all CDs if you don't really care that much
SB, SoD, and dance
you can slam that before blasting off in opener
not going to lose you THAT much damage
but don't macro SoD and dance together, that's bad
Man, we are so close to being phenomenal in keys, just need a little more aoe
I mean even a 10ish % buff to nimble would do it I bet
Would be nice if nimble wasnt target capped, like the way SP psychic link isnt
Is there any qol addon or script that will not let me use SoD until there is < 3seconds of it currently active? Sometimes I accidentally fat finger my SoD key while it's already active and I waste the charge
can you just do these macros? dance+symbols, flag+blades and then CB+ST
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
LMFAO
10% to flurry is an insane buff
i have couple questions
what we gonna do at 5cp? plain evis or bs/ss for overcapped full cp to use SecretTech
do we use Rupture refresh with Shadowdance or not?
thanks.
Only one I would do is CB+ST
if youre in dance you can finish on 5 cps. a very minor minmax is to finish at 6+ but 5+ finis is fine.
outside of dance u finish on 6+
u dont refresh rupture in dance. refresh if you need before it.
is it stupid to craft a neck if i have the spark 😮
wait it's better to finish at 6+?
or is that only for sectech global?
ty. But the 1st rupture should be in dance right?
No you dont rupture in shadow dance
its better to finish 6+ all the times. very tiny minmax
no. your opener is going to be strike (fromt stealth) flag evis, vanish strike rupture
what is this 5+ propaganda then?
then u dance
it used to be +5 until before this patch
+5 in dance, +6 outside. now its always +6
huh, good to know I guess
but again, its a small minmax, so +5 in dance is fine.
In dance i am at full combo points most of the time so dont stress too much about it
Would it be though? I mean, every and I mean EVERY tier list ranks sub C tier at best…
Its a tier list man
to be fair these tier lists are pure meme
Its not the real video game
Dont give a F about Tierlists
U would think after the last, I don’t know, 4 seasons
A day in the light would be nice
sub was great season 1 df
You can play every spec in the game in M+ till your at Keys on lvl 14-15 and above
in fact it was meta
I do! I like to get group invites to competitive keys
Nobody uses these tierlists to invite to groups
10.2 it wanst meta, but many here got title on it
Which is where I’m kinda stuck…
I get that but just play ur own key and if u get higher ppl will invite you
strange then you shouldnt have that much of a problem 😮
I am stuck here too but i get some invites at least xD
Fully agree, but the brick aspect of it is a thing…
U lower your key, attempt to pug… you get lower candidates as well
It’s a self licking ice cream cone
Hah! If only
sure, but that doesnt really have much to do with your spec
the key brick cycle is a part of the pugging not spec specific
you play Na im pretty sure, and i dont think ive seen more than 10 +15s posted since like week 3
You can always do the good old que as Assa and swap ur talents last sec xD
so youre stuck pugging 13/14s im assuming
Totally agree
Hence I’d like to be viewed as a higher tier spec to help with group finding
and realistiaclly, even if you were sin, u wouldnt be getting into 14s because if i put my 14 in rn, ill get 315-3200 people applying
so again, not a spec thing
LOL!! So troll, but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t done that
you have to just make friernds, play with them. then ur spec doesnt matter
the majority of players are in the same boat if that makes you feel any better
^ if youre meta and apply for a key
I mean I know what ur on about, its hard that there are specs in the game like ret who presses 4 buttons and does more dps even if we play the rota perfect
youre compared against 37 other people that are playing your spec
applying to the same key
Yup, 💯 agree again
But like I said, I’m looking at this from a “sitting in LFG que” getting turned down by groups significantly lower io with all utility needed…
I may be wrong in my assumption that it’s about tier lists, but I don’t think I am
its not a healthy/viable option specially in this season, where the gap from people who dont know what their characters buttons do, to the litearl rank 1 world keys is 4 key levels
agian, you could be litealrly the most meta spec a spec has ever been. then u aplpy, and everyone else applying is the same spec. so nothing changes. youre sitting there forever waiting with those other 100 people
You are not wrong. Your have to wait longer then assa or meta classes for sure. I said F tierlists because Sub isnt that bad of a spec they tell you it is
I don’t think it’s healthy when certain specs bring vastly more damage (ie enhance)… etc
That’s all
role based LGF just isnt viable on a game mode like m+
its not a hard concept
every key needs a tank
theres 10 tanks
100 dps
I’d say true, but I bet u atleast get more of a consideration
From someone pushing for a while now, being an off spec dont get you invited in higher keys. But also being a super meta spec wont make you get invited to higher keys
when outlaw was meta and i was tagging the same key than others, ramfam in consideration, why would u take censi the 3k outlaw when ramfam the legendary outlaw streamer rank 1 3k3 tag your key for warmup?
I played a bit of SP late in DF, there was 200 sp in everyqueue and i was here pushing while some others were already having the key and tagging for fun / reroll keys / warmp etc
The hardest part on Rogue in generell is we dont bring anythin to the tabel regarding key utility like lust or cr, we got a shroud and some cripple poison xD
We are like a slightly better warrior regarding util
yea rogue is missing stuff BUT rogue brings hella heck of dmg. Be glad we have assa rn pumping
we had way darker times
hello exodia 😔
y i am not complaining its just pointin out why its hard to get invites
if u got ret or shami who deals as much dmg as we do but got lust and cr why take rogue
it s hard for everyone, i needed like 3 entire seasons to understand that
strongly agree
gladly we have aoe blind now 
the thing i like on sub ist our ST burst in keys. And in Keys like wake and mists we can kill the bosses super quick
Hence my cry for a damage buff…
or give us better util
I’d take that as an option too
tbh i dont like to play the class that is op in dmg and ur top dps all the time. doesnt feel rewarding to play for me personaly
i havent play any sub in keys but some cursed sheningan like switching during NW so i cant really tell how s sub is i ve no exp this season, havent even push i did all my 12's early and dropped off
but
rogue is missing utilities if u ask me
Smoke bomb, maybe a party wide vial, I dunno… anything
shroud is cool, mindsoothe is 20s cd
“Drinks on us” talent lol
They could give us a new poison that does somethin for the group or so
shiv is cool, disenrage is not as big of a deal usually and others can bring it
no lust no cr, poisons are cool tho, but they re far from being a motw raidbuff
like if the party members hit the poisoned target they get heald for amount X or do more dmg or somethin
that would help i think^^
i always asked for a crit dmg or a crit rate raidbuff, seems to fit rogue in some ways
but also, they did great adding some raidbuff to everyclass so we dont see super stacking anymore in raid. And in keys the reality is that the highest team will always bring what does more dmg and then work arround their utility, then, plebs aka us will copy what we see on frontpage of raiderio
and it s truer and truer the more the time goes by
lemme check how looks the meta right now, i would bet it s probably fair rn
That looks sick!
ew, it s ok but i thought it would look better
it s not s2 DF bullshit
but it s not S1 Df as well, just in the middle
That’s what I don’t get…
Like, look at the chart… do slight buffs to classes under-represented
Vast majority of dps brought for their overall damage output rather than utility (which is a very close second)
It’s really not a hard concept, I don’t get why blizzard can’t balance things
1.5-2% aura buffs week to week as they fine tune it
they want some spec to be shinier sometimes, and also they dont want to balance things before HOF closed or before the end of mdi. Also awc. Also they most likely look more at raid stats than m+ stats
I dunno, I’m probably over simplifying
lot of things
i truely think they should add a different aura to m+, like pvp already has. So they would be able to balance between pvp / m+ / raid and not just pvp / pve
I think that would solve quite a bit
i think too, and i m sure it will be at some point
when i look at every SP balance patch i laugh xD
psychic link is balanced every fucking single patch
An absolute SEA of white in the DF comps
Well Blade flurry has also been redesigned a lot
i mean, a spell that aoe /cleave from ST dmg rotation, which is now the norm every class does that, bf, nimble, caustic just to talk about rogue, is so hard to balance
yea there are lot of redesign on these , not only x% buff/nerfs

target capped at 2 back in the days, was even a 5mn CDs in classic / bc
ty
i took a random pull wtf i wasted so much 
Cuz the spec just does
Did you have RS?
Replicating Shadows. The one that gives an additional rupture on a target and makes it do more damage
Yeah, bugged so there’s a delay on the CP return with shadowcraft 
fun
So partly why you might get some wasted CP there
Why do we wanna maintain rupture as sub? What does it Give us, ”expect we get more dmg overall” but we dont get energy for it?
It does damage, thats why
It just does more damage than an eviscerate does outside of dance 
Aha, Alright. Just suffer hard with energy outside burst Window, normaly i main assa, where we get energy from rupture
Well your energy outside burst doesnt matter
Because youre not doing any damage anyway
Well true
not this tier list, which is the only tier list that matters
when you go into cds rupture is amped by everything
so you burst harder, and your damage outside of cds is better too
What am I even looking at?
an accurate tier list
Of m+?
wow in general
Its alphabetical

i'm glad people still fall for it
best thing fuu ever made
who cares about his spreadsheets
absolutely fooled
Yessir
boy do you have pie on your face right now
Totally
but yeah
tier lists are a meme
and are low quality content
that content creators create to milk views
THE PRINCESS IS DEAD
gzgzgzgz
now onto court where you'll be praying to be back on princess
did you get transmitter?
we had garbage loot
like 2 crossbows and bracers
just got my rogue geared tonight, does Coup de Grace have an animation? or am i buggin?
ye didnt work for me either,its 185313,it was the legion one
what is optimal stats for ovi'nax trinket?
a lot of specs like 20/10
is Sub just full 30 primary? or?
People say it has one but I can't really see it. My character just flails its arms about for a second but nothing else really happens
feels really flat imo
!wa
@tepid trellis i got so bored today i played leauge
zed blasts
we're so back
now
bedge
ok no fucking wonder, i tried looking up top logs to see how sin rogues are doing insane damage on ovinax
and it's literally all the big aoe specs they have die
and do 0 damage
so getting a good parse on that boss is literally whether your raid team doesn't pad hard enough
Correct
this xephui WA is such a dopmine increase, holy moly
but if you remove add damage from logs, noone will do damage to adds and fuck up your raid 
This is why i've stopped caring about parsing
It's just so silly
You are in such an advantage on any add fight being in a guild that doesn't do damage lol
both the fury warrs in my guild got 98s on ovinax today
so guess there's no parsing to be had haha
there are two more tier lists that matter.
this one for hero talents
and very important, the class tier list
nicuuu
i always remember the asian regions selling parse runs, it becomes a bit absurd over time
is ther any target count we swap to black powder?
around 12
isn't that the same here?
13 GB... 🙂
the competition is fierce
i’d like to dps race them in m+
Wtf all 3 rogue specs are so far at the bottom
While dk is at the top
Classic
petition to rename the class!
What you thinking ?
Aogue
Subouge
Bogue
Dogue
Ro is the best name solely due to the loss of acrobatic strikes we can no longer reach uge
-3 yards
bandit probably not too bad
still in transmitter waiting room
We should petition to change the name from rogue to bandit, this way we would be #1
Or crook
knowing blizz it would be something like Racketeer or Pilferer
But then we would still be down on the tier list
!up
Adventurer. Because we go on adventuers to steal things. 
also good one
How well does sub perform in m+?
fine
Gonna stick with assa was just curious. Is it just underperforming in aoe but blasting in st to make up for it?
Blasts with both. Sin just does giga aoe
Are you energy starved for aoe?
although still doing good dmg, being energy starved suuucks
out of cds yes
Yeah there’s downtime outside of dance/sod but I find it so much more fun and engaging over sin.
Fair enough i would enjoy sin more i think, but sin st feel soo horrible
Haha my fury warrior died on p2 and suddenly i was on pace to do 200k more than the number 1 rogue parse
Alas
We wipe at %6 to a missed kick

wednessday is the day i might be able to start parsing myself
damn that would have been fat
new to rogues and sub in general, does one never use black powder in aoe ?
👆 12 was the response
Rerolling from arms :p
because its the mainsteam thing, i dont like mainstream 🤣
jokes aside, never really like ass gameplay as well with the dot spreading
Fair fair

The following macros are an exception:yaml /cast Cold Blood /cast Secret Technique
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Thistle Tea```
When using diffrent macros, make sure to keep the cooldowns on a seperate key.
for me it was worse carpal tunnel (outlaw) or the meta (ass)
nothing to do on main outside of crest farm (ew), might as well
Would sub be the best spec for raid? Some bosses like ovinax i assume arent that great on sub, depending on team
Is sub supposed to be this energy starved? Outside of CDs and the subsequent few seconds that follow it, I feel really energy starved. I’m doing good dps, it just feels ..bad? Am I supposed to be pooling energy between cds or just send abilities as soon as the energy is available?
Nvm, I just scrolled up and someone asked the same thing lol
what do you need the energy for anyway?
you basically heal the boss outside of dance
for what its worth you can just look at the architecture and just auto attack, no one will notice.
!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".
perfection
did anyone say dmg amp?
if only you could deal 25 million dmg with the press of ONE button
Any trinkets to look out for from the anniversary raid?
!wa
is it possible to use different weakauras for different specs?
yes
Overclocked Gear-a-Rang Launcher why is this top 1 on bloodmallet but no1 is using it? Or is it a bug?
the profile used for the sims uses wrong talents
it is a bit better than a regular 639 but nothing crazt
unlikely we get it unless no one else needs it
its rly good
why does mandate sim so high for sub
Sorry for the questions but is elemental focusing lens better than ascension? I am seeing like a split between the two of them does it matter?
both are kinda close
ascension is a bit better when more than 2 targets are around
best overall is duskthread with good uptime but tbh the diff is never big
they purposefully increased the energy cost of some abilities to make sub have more downtime outside of cds, i hate it but what can you do
For sure I was just curious looking around I am really enjoying it not a lot of sub players it seems though
yea we are specially cool
how much vers does duskthread actually give? never looked
sounds like it would be worth to craft for my M+ sub set at some point
sad
I like Ascendance 'cos it just keeps on trucking for so long
Getting everything to proc. "Hell yeah, blasting time" and then Ascendance rolls haste
On pure single target do we go death stalker?
doesanyone know the order of upgrading items again? i know its weapon>strong/bis trinks>chest,legs,head>jewelery>etc
but does that prio apply to off hand weap?
offhand is basically just a stat stick
weapon>ebellish>jewelry if you cange from bad stats to good stats>ilvl
Its about the same as trickster but it feels worse to play, so i wouldnt recommend it
No, offhand is almost useless
oh that is nothing, nevermind
Boggles my mind how they didnt fix embellishments before the game went live
But it is what it is
Felt like them being as strong as they were in amirdrassil (non-awakened) and not scaling with ilvl isnt intended, but guess it is
on the flip site means they barely matter
Do we have numbers on the void elf changes?
No. The racial isn’t working on the ptr
Fuu love your guide btw
Has helped me go from someone so confused I almost quit class to passable barely
It’s been open on my phone and computer and referenced non stop for two and a half weeks
thanks, i want to improve it in the future when i have a bit more time on hand
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Question regarding the spreadsheet sims vs BiS lists -- why are the items used different?
No idea which lists youre referring to, but if its not trinkets the differences are probably irrelevant
The only real "BiS" item that exists for sub is transmitter
Everything else has multiple items thats about as good
I guess like, why are BiS listed as Transmitter/Mad Queen's but the actual sim is Transmitter/Void Reaper's Contract
And the weapons are different also
Bis lists are a meme
Why is blood mallet saying LF is highest dps? That nuke can’t be worth that much dps
I mean I agree they're a meme but aren't they created by the same person(s) 😅
they likely didn’t get updated as .5 dropped
Cause no one gives a shit about them if they can actually get that gear.
sim your gear, run droptimizer. Smile and be happy.
Yea yea I know all that, was just a side q
It's important to still know what the best "in theory" may be in case you're deciding on who gets what in a guild raid setting
Egg, contract and mandate are all pretty similar
Even if it's "just" a +0.4%
the important item is transmitter
the 2nd item is as eleem mentioned secondary, the delve trinket rital knive is a other good option
I can’t get rid of that thing to save my life. Not that I mind it, but nothing else I’ve gotten sims higher than it and I have a bunch of decent options
You each sim. Ez
Ok so you each sim only to find out it's a minor upgrade for both, now what
We give it to who will put it to better use. Loot council ain’t that difficult mate.
"better use" based on what?
Based on how much value they gain surely
people can always just sim for upgrades if it comes down to numbers
but items are more times than not close in value for people
I auto passed on queen ring bc i knew it would be huge for our fdk
going for "this person gets 0.1% more" is in my opinion not a good way to go about things
Crit is like better than str for them
It didnt sim super well for me
fair
I mean I agree. This is why I don't like the, "both sim it" arg
Ill get it when i get it but its def huge for others that like crit
there are a few items that differ
e.g. transmitter is absolutely a item i would give to my sub rogue in the guild over others
but thats rly the exception, most items don't fall into it
I can tell you who will maximize a trinket out of our raid group vs who won’t. Some players are just flat out better at the game and will be in for all of prog, vs giving it to the 3rd mage who struggle with mechanics.
by doing what you mention scath
you basically start to funnel loot to only the people precived as better
nope
and will widen the gap in output even more
i am just saying
I mean that's fine and all but that's not even the scenario. I feel like you're straw manning a scenario nobody even brought up
Dieing every kill isn’t going to get saved by a trinket.
You literally asked how to decide
GTFO
i saw and experienced bias and results of strategies of funneling few people
Ok yeah and I said basically two people who are performing equally and it's a minor upgrade to both, NOW WHAT
And you're just like, "vibes and it's not that hard" and telling me to GTFO
then they did noticable better damage than others who didn't get as much loot
and left for a better guild
because
"you all suck ass"
when in practice, they just had better gear
nope. Our retention is good. We actually have too many
Mechanics matter more than just topping details
if only. Haha
I'm working up phrases to annoy people in my heroic pugs who say only DPS matters. that's my latest one. 
You want me to interrupt something? What?!!
Idc if worm about to go off. Need to pump
i just think putting values on players has always lead to a bad enviroment
But I think in high-end progression raiding, having some kind of council system that like, looks at more than just damage or attendance but the whole picture is sensible. But it's a real big balance acting
learning back sub the 2 last days there is something i dont get i m not sure about. do we really dance + sod 3 times in the opener? Even if it means refreshing sod before it hits pandemic?
Just for the supercharged thing and extra cdr?
balancing act even
and then more you enforce that only the best or the ones that put in the most time outside of raid are ONLY worth your time
then worse the situation gets
2 dance 2 sod in opener
we run 27 roster. We’re adults. Zero issues. We only lose people to real life events.
we get people in as often as possible and distribute as evenly as possible.
i am sure your guild isn't then only prioritizing individuals
and giving out whats left to the rest
We prio the raid
i mean like thisit s not as 3rd in a row like before, but each of these sod is right after a dance. And so the 3rd sod is way before pandemic
i think a good gear distribution is fair, and gives everyone a chance of loot not only your top 3 performers
in the end its about clearing the content and getting everyone better is more benefitial
but thats my 2c, if your guild works well with only prioritizing the best players, i am happy it works out for it
Loot drama is rarely fun or interesting, too. Def gonna vary group by group. Sometimes a council works. Sometimes you trust people to just know stuff and handle it themselves, etc.
having a fair distribution also leads to less drama
Yep
I mean, not everyone plays the spec correctly and they’ll still get #1 parses.
Pug loot drama is always really funny though
you can play perfect
and get a 50%tile
if your gear is shit
heroic also has kill times as a important factor
You’re putting numbers on top performers. I did not.
i mean, every guild will have a hand full of people who stand out
its typically 1-5
i don't put a number, just making a point of disagreeing with a performance based loot distribution as a benefitial thing
They should give me all the loot because I parse 100 on every fight (it's the self-healing parse, I'm standing in fire in a corner)
because, and i repeat myself here. You just make the gaps higher, and reduce reason to bring others
and honestly the only items that have any discussion are trinkets or special items.
Tier each get 2 pieces Distributed, 1 from aotc/m+ and one from catalyst.
it is polarizing
Trinkets seem the biggest point of contentiont ypically, yeah
Or the super rare special drops
the lucky thing is
a lot of loot is not from raid anymore so you are not as fucked if you don't get loot in raid
means the most likely items you want from raid are trinkets or special effect items
Ye
Free $3k gold right there

I really wish I could go gold -> Blizzard Balance -> USD 
roughly equal really, but still
finally, a full time job I'd enjoy
I don't actually wish for it because the impact of this to the economy becomes overall negative
coudn't you do that with the old D3 RMAH
I vaguely remember selling gems and making actual money
I have a buuddy who made a couple thousand in D3. Extremely funny
It’s early for a Monday, okay? 
I know 
I really want to farm that delve trinket I have all 619 gear and a veteran trinket and a crappy champ trinket
was flurry fixed?
only thing its buggy with is not benefiting from fazed
and target dummies
(only the ones in the new zones)
is there a bug with secret technique not hitting the small adds on ansurek or what is happening
in p3
!wa
Hello, does anyone know whether you can cloak Sticky Web at Ovinax without rooting your teammates? Or does it act like a regular dispel?
Its a regular dispel
If you precloak it will not be immuned either, it will just choose somebody else
Thanks!
Are you using sectec on the boss
Because her hitbox is abysmally small
Flurry is from you whereas I believe sectec is from the target, so it’s pretty shit if she isn’t positioned close enough, at least from my experience
yea I have to target them a bit annoying
but it shouldn't be the boss hitbox
since it hits the 3 adds in the middle
Those things have giant hitboxes
I think its probably something to do with them being on the little ledge or something
Like fucking huge
no bug you have to move off of the boss
and actually target the adds
otherwise you''ll do z dam
to the adds
ye figured as much, just seems even when the boss is as close to them as you can it still doesn't hit
Does cloak work to immune Queen ansurak essences as you pick them up?
!trinket
What's up with the bloodmallet sub trinket chart on bloodmallet? Is it correct?

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hi sub’ section, what guide can I take most value of? Wowhead? Icy? Another?
Thanks!
all are fine
I personally like wowheads that’s just personal opinion. As a brand new sub rogue it helped me a lot
I’m sure all are good though sub rogue community seems small helpful and tight
Correct
so whats the use now? for cp reg on low cp?
Ye for premed
nothing more? 😄
Nop
it's also a heal @mighty citrus
Sub rogues cool and good 
Icy veins sub guide should be getting a decent overhaul soonish tm
ik sub is perceived as slighty better on ansurek than sin but if i have mythic sacbrood and mythic skardyns should I just play sin 🧍
and sub has hero transmitter hero mandate
these fights at this point in the tier arent generally about oh sin does 1.5% more damage. its more like, what does sin do for your team? and generally the answer to that for ansurek is just it blasts boss damage
But sub has a great profile to help blow up the tombs if you need help, or carry first platform etc so it has a unqiue thing it does
thats why people say play sub. u cna play whatever u want at this point though tbh
or you can be an assi rogue and play with sub timings because you refuse to swap sub 🙃
sure
@pliant topaz can you tell people to stop inting every 15 i try
have yet to time a single 15 because somebody else screws up the entire key for everyone
IM TIRED
